Pepsi Center - Denver Colorado


Thomas Simon: WHAT THE HELL?!?! HE’S BACK!!!!!

Richie Rhodes: Yeah what is this like the 1000th time that’s happened?

Thomas Simon: Shut it Richie you’re as bad as Bobo used to be…..Enjoy it…..It’s the newest MPW Hall of Famer everybody!!! It’s Rage!!!!!! Welcome to Reloaded everyone! What a surprise!

[“Cryin’ like a Bitch” continues to blast as Rage walks out in a leather jacket as the Denver fans are going wild. Rage high fives a few fans then does a tour around the ring before getting a mic and stepping through the ropes. Rage stands in the middle of the ring looking around smirking to himself. As the crowd is chanting]

“WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!”

Rage: Well I guess…..

“ONE LAST RUN! ONE LAST RUN! ONE LAST RUN!”

Rage: Haha…..Thank you guys seriously it’s amazing to be back between the purple ropes. I never thought I’d actually be back you know? Months ago after my match against Johnny Clash I tried to come out here to give a goodbye but that was ruined but whack job Trey Baxter. Now I know you came out back then selling your whole “I’m a badass heel now” thing and it was fine….I was ok with it…..but just to let you know son…..everybody get’s one with me. Do that again and I drive your head straight through this canvas.

[Crowd pops.]

Rage: Alright Trey Baxter isn’t why I’m out here….I’m sure he just enjoyed hearing his name mentioned. Hell if I want to pick a pointless fight with him I’ll tweet him when I’m taking a crap next time. Now right down to business as I’m sure you’re all sick and tired of hearing about some overnight Walmart stock boy…..Last week I got a call that I really never expected….I was asked if I would accept an induction into the MPW Hall of Fame…..I couldn’t answer Yes fast enough. It was an absolute honor to receive that call as I didn’t even think I deserved it. But in the induction committees eyes I was more than deserving. I mean I was never a world champion here….but that’s probably why this place is still around. I just wanted to come out here and to personally thank you all for always supporting me whether I was eating powdered donuts or stealing briefcases you guys all made and continue to make this place something special. I feel honored and privileged to be apart of this years Hall of Fame class…..Thanks everyone!

[Rage climbs to the ropes to raise his fists for the fans and taunt them one more time. The fans cheer but suddenly the lights dim]

Thomas Simon: oh no... what is this

[Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson begins to play as Night Terrors, both Samuel and Clay walk out on to the ramp. Rage just stares back at them confused. Clay and Samuel make their way down to the ring. They climb on to the apron and stare at Rage. Rage looks back and forth at them and then finally takes off the Leather Jacket and throws it aside. He gets in fighting stance and says "Come on!"]

Richie Rhodes: Rage just signed his death wish!

Thomas Simon: He better watch himself or he is never getting to the Hall of Fame!

[The crowd begins to cheer as Johnny Clash and Madd Katt run down to the ring. Johnny pulls Clay off the apron slamming his face in to the apron. Madd Katt pulls Samuel down and delivers a violent Superkick. He picks Samuel back up and tosses him in to the steel steps. Clash kicks Clay in the groin and tosses him in the ring where Rage grabs him and delivers a One Last Run. The crowd pops huge for it as Rage taunts in the ring. Clash and Madd Katt slide in. Clay grabs on to the ropes and stands up groggy. He turns around and Madd Katt and Johnny hit a double Superkick knocking him outside the ring. The fans go nuts as the three men stand tall in the ring]

Thomas Simon: Wow! Night Terrors just took a ride to hell!

Richie Rhodes: Madd Katt and Johnny blindsided them! That wasn't fair!

[Johnny raises his arms in the air as does Madd Katt on either side of Rage. Rage raises his hands as well. Johnny looks over at Madd Katt and smirks]

Johnny Clash: Put your arms down, that was all me!

Madd Katt: Who are you kidding kid? That was all me!

Johnny Clash: I could have done that without you old man

Madd Katt: You would be buried alive if I wasn't out here right now

Rage: Guys!

Madd Katt: You better check yourself Johnny.

Johnny Clash: Me!?

Rage: GUYS!

[Bob Herman walks out on the ramp as Rage stands between Madd Katt and Johnny before they come to blows]

Bob Herman: Wow, these two are fired up! Look at them go! Rage how ya doin buddy? Ya look great WOOOO

[Rage stands between Katt and Johnny and smirks sarcastically at Bob]

Bob Herman: Okay it seems that you two are just itching to get ahold of each other and High Stakes is only two weeks ago. So this is what I'm going to do. I want this match to be clean and fair. I want it called right down the middle. We need a special referee.... someone that will call it right down the middle. Someone fair.... a Hall of Famer...

[The fans start chanting "RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE"]

Bob Herman: Rage if you accept! I want you two to stand between these two at High Stakes and officiate the match WOOOOOOOOOO

[Rage smiles and nods as Johnny and Madd Katt stare at each other with Rage in the middle of them]

Thomas Simon: That's huge! Wow!

Richie Rhodes: Hey stop looking at me... oh. Yeah that is huge!

[Crying Like a Bitch hits as the fans cheer. The scene fades to the Reloaded Video]



Thomas Simon: Welcome to Reloaded fans! This show is already off to a firey start and we have a lot more planned!

Richie Rhodes: Let's get this show going!

Match 1

[As "Monster" By Skillet begin to blast through the P.A. system, white smoke fills the entrance a figure steps in and can be seen in the smoke and Jason X stands at the top of the entrance with his arms up in an X form. He continues to walk down the ramp and enters the ring, he then climbs the turnbuckles and again puts his arms in an X form.]

Honey Winters: Making his way to the ring, from Las Vegas Nevada.. the Television Champion Jason X!

["Breed" by Nirvana emerges from the speakers, lights begin to flash along to the drums of the song, the crowd erupts. Radke walks out of the curtain and looks at the crowd from a side angle. He slowly turns forward and begins to walk. He raises his arms out to the side with his palms facing upward. He makes his way into the ring in a basic manner. He goes up to the second turnbuckle and does that same arms out, upward palm taunt. Lights still flashing. He carelessly drops down to his feet] 

Honey Winters: and his opponent from Boston Massachussets... Chris Radke!

[Awake and Alive by Skillet starts to play as Taufik hops his way towards the entrance ramp as he interacts with the fans by fisting their hands and even slapping their hands and when he slides to the ring, he throws his fist as the fans cheers him on as he awaits for his opponent.]

Honey Winters: and their opponent from Singapore... The Savior Taufik!

[[The three circle each other, all waiting for the other to make the first move. Chris Radke looks at Jason X, and then charges at Taufik, kicking him hard in the gut and going to work with right and lefts to Taufik's gut and jaw, before Jason X interrupts with a club to the back of Chris Radke, pounding him on the back repeatedly as he irish whips him to the ropes, and as Radke bounces back, Taufik hits him with a shoulder block, sending him to the mat. As Taufik turns around he is caught with a hurricanrana by Taufik, who gets back to his feet and waits for Taufik and Chris Radke to get to their feet, as he charges, ducking two clotheslines as he goes springboard on the second rope and leaps backwards, once again over both of them.]

Thomas Simon: What a move right there!! He's using the avoid tactic, dodging any attacks from the heavier foes! Real smart from Taufik!

Richie Rhodes: Maybe he is smarter than he looks. But then again, he looks like a dork, so that's not much of a compliment.

Thomas Simon: Ignoring Bob, Taufik runs back at Jason and rolls into a hurricanrana position, but Jason X holds him there and waits for a moment, as Radke charges and Taufik hauls Taufik towards Chris Radke, and the two fall to the mat together, Taufik on top of John!

[Jason waits for a moment, and as John pushes Taufik off of him and gets to a kneeling position, he charges, hitting a massive knee to the jaw of Chris Radke. As Jason goes down for the cover, Taufik springs to his feet and runs towards the pin, hitting a running dropkick to the side of Taufik' head and breaking up the pin in the process.]

[Taufik drags Jason towards the ropes and pushes him against the bottom rope, pressing him hard into the rope and he uses the no disqualification rule for a short while as he releases and bounds against the opposite ropes, charging towards Jason X as he hits a massive running knee to the side of Taufik' head. Taufik gets back to his feet and pushes Jason X so that he's groin is pressed against the ropes with his arms hanging over the ropes and towards the fans, his body slung so that he is almost outside the ring. Jason stays there groggily as Taufik climbs to the top rope and prepares to go high risk. However, Chris Radke interrupts Taufik before he can jump, grabbing his arm and pulling him down so that he drops groin first onto the top turnbuckle. Radke grabs Taufik in a suplex position and climbs to the top rope, taunting the fans as he raises his fist high in the air and waits for a moment, before hauling Taufik's body up and over John's in a massive superplex, dropping Taufik onto the body of Jason X as they both go tumbling to the floor.]

Thomas Simon: OH MY GOD!!!! What a superplex!!! You've gotta be kidding me!!

Richie Rhodes: I'm not usually speechless...but wow that was incredible!

Thomas Simon: Now look at the replay!! Taufik's back goes flying onto the back of Jason X' head and it slams onto the apron!! Incredible!

Richie Rhodes: Hang on, Taufik is holding his back in real pain right now! I think Taufik's back hit that apron the wrong way! He's really in pain!

Thomas Simon: This could be a real problem here, nobody likes to see a wrestler in that much pain because of a move, and to the credit of Chris Radke, what a move it was! That massive superplex just dropped John's two opponents!

[Chris Radke looks across at the fans and grins almost maniacally, waiting for a moment before he climbs outside the ring and walks across to Taufik, hauling him to his feet as he clubs Taufik;s back with multiple forearms, lifting him to his feet and taking a couple of steps back, as he charges and hits a massive running clothesline. Radke then hauls Taufik back to his feet, bringing him towards the ring apron as he swings Taufik's mid-section forward, and then back into the side of the apron, and as Taufik's back crashes against the apron, Chris Radke turns around and meets a stiff right hand from Jason X who backs him up towards the ring steps and waits for a moment, preparing to his a spear into the barricade. But John catches Jason with a knee on the way through, attempting to throw him against the barricade himself.]

[However, as Jason counters, and pushes John off of him, Jason attempts to charge and hit a running spear once again. Before he can get close, he is attacked by Ms. Biguns, who hits him on the back of the head with a steel chair.]

Thomas Simon: Oh!! What a chair shot!! That's completely wrong, she shouldn't be involved in the outcome of this match!

Richie Rhodes: Hey, it's all legal!! It's No DQ remember!

[Chris Radke poses once again, before throwing Jason X back into the ring as he slides inside the ring himself, propping Jason up onto the second turnbuckle and he punches Jason, propping him up to the top turnbuckle as he looks for the anchor cutter. However, before he can execute it Taufik slides into the ring and hits a running dropkick to Chris Radke, waiting for him to get to his feet as he ducks under a clothesline. Jason hits the X Driver on Taufik and grabs him in a pin

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

Thomas Simon: Jason did it! What a win

Richie Rhodes: Oh man that was a great match

[Jason X takes his Television Title and stares at it. He holds it up in the air and puts his foot on Taufik's chest. The scene cuts to commercial]



Match 2

[Christian Carter is in the ring in fighting stance as he awaits his opponent. His music plays behind him]

Honey Winters: This next match is for one fall, already in the ring from Phoenix Arizona, Christian Carter!

[Christian gives no reaction just waits. The music stops but Samuel's doesn't play. Thomas Simon stands up and grabs a microphone]

Thomas Simon: Uh Christian, Christian. I'm sorry but I was just informed via my head set that earlier tonight Samuel suffered a concussion in the altercation with Madd Katt and he is incapable to compete tonight.

[Christian holds the ropes and stares at Simon. He shrugs with a smug look and goes to exit the ring when "One Finger and a Fist" by Drowning Pool hits.]

Richie Rhodes: what the...

[Adam Steele and Jimmy Fatal walks out on to the stage]

Thomas Simon: What is this? We haven't seen these two in weeks, for Fatal.. months!

Richie Rhodes: They have bad intentions in their eyes

[They climb in to the ring and smile at Carter. Fatal offers him his hand to shake. Carter stares at it and goes to walk out of the ring. Steele pulls him back and clotheslines him down. The fans boo]

Richie Rhodes: OH!

Thomas Simon: They came out here to beat on Carter!

[Adam Steele takes a microphone]

Adam Steele: Do you remember when we both first started here in MPW Carter? Do you remember the AA meetings we would attend together. We got better Carter we got healthier! We were unstoppable and we took this company to the next level. Now you are a pathetic drunk loser! You are nothing but a worthless piece of crap!

[Steele takes the microphone and nails Carter in the head with it. The crowd pops as Tyler Axe runs down the ramp and slides in to the ring with a steel chair. Fatal exits but Steele gets nailed with the chair between the eyes. Fatal pulls him out of the ring and tends to him on the outside. Carter just stares at Axe above him with the chair. Axe drops it and leaves the ring leaving Carter and the MPW fans stunned]

Thomas Simon: After all the times Carter turned his back on Axe, Tyler still comes to Carters rescue

Richie Rhodes: How cute.



Match 3

[On the lyrics "Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep" Aeryn walks through the curtain and down the ramp way, running towards the end as the beat of the music kicks in. She jumps up on to the ring apron, grabs hold of the top rope and slingshots herself over in to the ring.]

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

["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.]

Honey Winters: Making his way to the ring from Melbourne Australia, Chris Cable

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.]

[The bell rings as they quickly come together. They lock up and Cable is able to grab a hold of Aeryn's head and put her into a hard headlock. Aeryn is able to push Cable and throw him against the ropes breaking the head lock. Cable bounces off the ropes and nails Aeryn with a running spear that sends her down hard. Cable quickly picks Aeryn up and hooks her head and throws her up in the air and slams her down hard with a stalling suplex. Cable quickly picks Aeryn up and throws her into the corner hard. Cable then gains some speed runs and jumps connecting with a corner splash that sends Aeryn down but she is still sitting up in the corner. Cable begins to stomp on Aeryn's chest until the ref finally makes him stop. Cable waits for Aeryn to slowly make her way up and once she does Cable nails her with a super kick right to the face! Aeryn falls straight back and could be done! Cable falls on top of Aeryn for the pin!]

KICKOUT!

Thomas Simon: Oh! Close call there

Richie Rhodes: but not close enough

[Aeryn does not want to lose this match. Not that quickly. Cable gets up quickly and stomps on the body of Aeryn until the ref again makes him stop. Cable decides to climb up to the top rope and jumps off going for a frog splash but Aeryn is able to move out of the way forcing Cable to nail the mat with his body which leaves him in some serious pain. Aeryn makes her way to her feet and picks up Cable who is still in some serious pain. Aeryn kicks Cable in the stomach and then drops him down with a DDT. Aeryn thinks about climbing up to the top rope but then decides against it. She waits as Cable slowly makes his way to his feet and once he does hits him with a dropkick right in the chest that sends Cable right back down. Cable is able to make his way back up pretty quickly but is met by a spinning heel kick of Aeryn. Aeryn waits as Cable slowly makes his way back up to his feet again. Once Cable turns to face Aeryn he is hit with a superkick of her own!! Instead of going for the pin Aeryn climbs up to the top rope nearest Cable and just waits for Cable to get back up. Cable finally is able to slowly make his way up and turn towards Aeryn. Once he does Aeryn jumps off the top rope grabs Cable by the head and throws him around dropping him down with a 720 DDT! Aeryn jumps on top of Cable for the pin!

Thomas Simon: WOW WHAT A MOVE!

KICKOUT!

Richie Rhodes: Oh another kickout!

Thomas Simon: This match is off the hook!

Richie Rhodes: .... don't say that

[Cable is somehow able to kickout! Aeryn seems very frustrated and begins to stomp on the body of Cable this time until the ref finally forces her to stop. Aeryn waits for Cable to make his way up and when he does charges at him and jumps up hooking Cable's head with her legs and attempts a hurricanrana but is caught by Cable at the top and slammed down hard with a powerbomb! They are both down for a few seconds until Cable finally starts to make his way to his feet. As he does Aeryn is trying to get up but is on all fours as Cable gets a running start and hits her with the KO Kick! Cable quickly goes for the pin!]

[Cable is able to get the big win over Aeryn Ashfield.]

Honey Winters: here is your winner... Chris....

[Cable grabs the microphone]

Chris Cable: Here is your winner and future Roll of The Dice match winner.... and World Champion... CHRIS CABLE!!

[Chris looks up and laughs as the fans boo and the scene cuts]



Match 4

[The guitar intro to the song play as the lights drop and a light shines up from below filling out the silhouette of large man, “Along the lonesome highway, east of Omaha you can listen to the engine moanin’ out its one note song. You think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before… what’s that metronome I hear?” As the song ramps up the lights come up revealing Impaler standing at the top ramp as he looks over the crowd (now booing the big man) and smiles sinisterly as he pulls his mask over his face and begins to stalk to the ring.

Honey Winters: Introducing first in this singles match, from Black Mist Maine... Impaler!

[As he reaches the ring, Impaler looks left and then right as he reaches up and grabs the top rope pulling himself up on to the apron and then stepping over the top rope. Now in the ring Impaler surveys the area smiling as the crowd boos him.]

["King Of The Stereo" by Saliva plays from the microphone as a lone spotlight appears on the stage while the rest of the arena dies out. Brandon Nytrus walks out into the light with his eyes set on the ring.]

Honey Winters :And his opponent from South Boston, Massachusetts... Weighing in at 302 lbs... Your Sin City Champion Brrrrandon... Nytruss!!

[He continues down the ramp and down into the ring. He stands on the turnbuckle and looks out into the crowd. The spotlight stays on him the entire time. He hops down and waits for the bell.]

[Both men stand in opposite corners waiting for the bell to ring and the match to begin. The bell rings and Impaler charges at Nytrus and goes for an immediate closeline that Nytrus manages to duck. As Impaler turns around Nytrus nails him with a dropkick to the face that sends Impaler down.]

Thomas Simon: Looks like the Sin City Champion is getting off to a great start tonight!

Richie Rhodes: We've still got a long way to go...

[Impaler is able to get up pretty quick but Nytrus is waiting for him and hits him with a closeline that sends Impaler down again. Nytrus waits for Impaler to get back up and quickly hits him with a superkick! Impaler goes down hard! Nytrus waits as Impaler slowly makes his way up. When he gets to almost up Nytrus bounces off the rope and hits Impaler with a cross body. He thinks about the pin but decides not to. Nytrus runs and jumps off the middle rope and lands on Impaler with a lionsault. Nytrus waits for Impaler to get up and when he finally gets up Nytrus hits him with a boot to the stomach followed by a quick DDT. Nytrus climbs up to the top turnbuckle and waits as Impaler slowly makes his way up. When Impaler finally is up and turned around Nytrus jumps off and hits Impaler hard with a missle dropkick! Nytrus picks up Impaler who is pretty out of it at this point. Nytrus hits Impaler with a hard chest slap and then hooks Impaler's head from behind and drops him with a reverse DDT! Nytrus quickly climbs back up to the top rope and jumps off high into the air and falls onto Impaler with a shooting star press! Nytrus hooks Impaler's leg for the pin!

KICKOUT!

Impaler is somehow able to kick out. Nytrus kicks Impaler a few times in the ribs and then decides to climb up to the top rope again. He stands up straight and looks around the crowd before jumping off for a flying elbow drop! But somehow Impaler is able to move out of the way! Nytrus hits the mat hard and is in some serious pain. Impaler makes his way up and waits as Nytrus slowly gets back up as well with his back turned to Impaler. As Nytrus turns around the bigger Impaler levels Nytrus with a hard closeline! Impaler follows that up by bouncing off the ropes and hitting Nytrus with a leg drop. Impaler waits for Nytrus to slowly get up and once he is to his knees Impaler charges him and hits him with a big boot! Nytrus goes down hard. Impaler picks up the smaller Nytrus and puts his head between his legs. He lifts him up and drops him on his head with a piledriver. Impaler quickly picks Nytrus back up kicks him in the gut and drops him with a DDT! Impaler begins to stomp the body of Nytrus until the referee finally tells him to stop. Impaler quickly picks Nytrus back up and puts him back between his legs. He lifts him high in the air and slams him down with a hard powerbomb! Impaler lays on Nytrus for the pin!]

KICKOUT!!

Richie Rhodes: Nytrus is somehow able to kickout! 

Thomas Simon: The Sin City Champion isn't going to beat so easily!

[Impaler picks up Nytrus and grabs him around the neck and hits him with a stalling suplex. Impaler quickly picks Nytrus back up grabs him around the waist and throws him halfway across the ring with a belly to belly suplex! Impaler picks up the dazed Nytrus,,, 

Thomas Simon: Nytrus seems to be almost out of it at this point!

Richie Rhodes: It's not looking good for him.

...and grabs him around the waist from behind. Impaler picks Nytrus and throws his body backwards with a brutal german suplex! Impaler is in complete control of the Sin City Champion. Impaler picks Nytrus up off the mat and throws his body over his shoulder and holds him there for a moment before dropping him down with a shoulder breaker! Impaler thinks about the pin but decides to pick Nytrus up but Nytrus is somehow able to hit Impaler with an elbow to the face that gives him a little bit of time to recover. Impaler tries to hit Nytrus with a big boot but Nytrus is somehow able to duck under it and hit Impaler with a spinebuster!]

Thomas Simon: Nytrus is somehow able to hit Impaler with a hard Spinebuster!

[Both men are down on the mat trying to recover. Impaler is completely out but Nytrus isn't able to capitalize because he is still in some serious pain.]

Thomas Simon: What a great match this is!

Richie Rhodes: This match hasn't disappointed as the two men have gone back and forth giving it their all to somehow win this match!

Thomas Simon: Neither man wants to lose tonight! 

[Nytrus is finally able to make his way up and Impaler is still down after Nytrus was able to land his set up move. Nytrus drags Impaler to the middle of the ring and grabs him around the head and puts him into Tap.O!]

Thomas SImon: Nytrus just locked in Tap.0! This might be it!

[Impaler uses his strength and breaks out of the Tap.O. Nytrus is favoring his arm as Impaler kicks him in the stomach. He sets him up for the BYL]

Thomas Simon: No... this could be the worlds largers powerbomb!

[He lifts Nytrus up slowly with all his strength and slams him down. Impaler drops down as well. He crawls over and pins Nytrus]

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

[Impaler sits up and starts to laugh sadistically. He leans on the ropes and flips backwards over them exiting the ring. He slowly walks back up the ramp. Nytrus gets to his feet and looks dissapointed. The ref hands him his Sin City Championship]

Thomas Simon: Great match by both big men but Impaler picks up the win in this one!

[Nytrus is standing on the second turnbuckle holding his Sin City title up with one hand, while his other rubs his head from the fight he was just in. Impaler is walking backwards slowly, staring at Nytrus with a wicked grin on his face.]

Simon: I don't think the bad blood has been settled between these two. And after tonights showing, I'd go as far as to say Impaler may be in line for a shot at Nytrus' Sin City title.

Rhodes: Going that far out, you might sink. Noway he's ready for that championship just yet.

[The lights in the arena suddenly flicker on and off.]

Rhodes: What the hell?

[The lights start flickering faster into a strobing effect as you hear The sound of Kid Rock pouring the the PA.]

## Guess who's back? haha I used to be broke, confused..no joke Got used, smoked dope, paid dues Refused to give up quick, Now theres 10 million motherfuckers on my dick. So what, say how, say who Fuck what, fuck me, fuck you Come clean, you know I will. ##

[Impaler is turned around now away from Nytrus watching the entrance area, as Is Nyrtus, still standing on the second rope staring at the entrance as well. ]

## They say I'm cocky, and I say What? It ain't braggin' motherfucker if ya back it up They say I'm cocky, and I say What? It ain't braggin' motherfucker if ya back it up.##

[Everyone in the crowd is standing watching the entrance area as well, leaving very few people to notice the entrance through the crowd of the Bastard, Jackson Blaze. Blaze quickly makes his way over the guardrail, sliding into the ring, quickly running towards the turnbuckle Nytrus is standing on.]

Simon: You have got to be kidding me?!?

Rhodes: Now this section of the show might start getting interesting.

[Unnoticed at first by Nytrus, Jax leaps as Brandon starts to turn. Blaze lands right foot on the same second rope right next to Nytrus, then turns in midair and jerks him down with a Bastardizer off the second rope. The move drives Nytrus' head HARD into the mat, knocking him unconcious with a sickening bounce off the canvas.]

Rhodes: That's how you impact a show. Come back with new music and knock a champion the hell out.

Simon: That still doesn't explain where he's been and why he's been so MIA lately.

Rhodes: Why don't you march into the ring and demand those answers, Simon?

Simon: I'm quite alright where I am. Thanks.

[Jax reaches over, picking up the MPW Sin City Championship that Nytrus dropped as he was plucked off the second turnbuckle. The Bastard stares at the title with a very wicked and possesive gaze. ]

Rhodes: Now, we know what's going through the Bastard's scary brain.... The title he was never beaten for. 

[Blaze stands over the unconcious body of Brandon Nytrus, staring at him with his trademark cocky grin, holding the Sin City Championship high in the air. Blaze pulls his attention from the fallen champion and motions for a mic, which is quickly thrown to him. He smiles even more arrogantly now, holding the title up once again, returning his cold stare back to Nytrus laying out cold on the mat.]

Blaze: I know could be like everyone else and say I'll be coming for this soon since I was never beaten for it, but I'm not them. I'm me, motherfucker.

[He smiles at that while the crowd roars in approval.]

Blaze: So, I'm telling you like this, bitch. I'm taking my shit back right now. Gotta problem with that? Then, beat me for it. Until then.... fuck you. 

[The crowd roars again and Blaze spits on Nytrus as he throws the mic at him and exits the ring with the Sin City title in hand.]

Simon: You have got to be kidding me? Who the hell does he think he is? He can just come in and take what he wants?

Rhodes: That's how he does things! The Resistance has gotta be cringing!



Match 5

[The bells rings as Madd Katt and Trey circle each other, Trey quickly jumps onto the offence with forearms to the surprised Madd Katt, he gives gives him a couple more forearms before kicking Madd Katt in the ribs to make him fall to the corner, Trey appeals to the crowd before running to the opposite corner before running at Madd Katt, Madd Katt realising the danger falls to his knees and rolls out of the ring in the corner. Madd Katt looks at Trey in the ring holding his nose while Trey perched on the second turnbuckle looking down at Madd Katt smiling.]

Richie Rhodes: Look at this Madd Katt has come out and been surprised what seems to be a fired up Trey Baxter!

[Madd Katt rolls back in the ring as Trey backs away, the ref is between the two until Madd Katt is back on his feet and in the opposite corner to Trey, they approach each other again but this time it's Madd Katt who comes out of the blocks with a stomp in the gut before unloading with rights, Madd Katt now with Trey barely on his feet mocks Trey before trying one last punch, Trey sees it coming and blocks it, he returns with punches of his own, Trey now pushes Madd Katt to the ropes before irish whipping him, Madd Katt is about to whip off the ropes before he holds on, Trey looks at Madd Katt in frustration as he runs at him, Madd Katt sees the incoming Trey and ducks to grab the legs of Baxter and flapjack onto the top rope. The crowd cheers as Madd Katt starts taunting Trey, he waits behind him as he gets up with the aid of the ropes. Trey gets to his feet and is met with a russian leg sweep by Madd Katt, cover.

1.........2. kickout.

Thomas Simon: Some really nice moves there by Madd Katt, he seems to have his eye on the ball tonight.

[Madd Katt gets Trey to a seated position in the centre of the ring before kicking his in the chest which makes Baxter fall to the mat back first Madd Katt than follows by dropping an elbow drop, Madd Katt gets up before dropping another elbow drop and then covers.

Richie Rhodes: What is going to happen here!!!

[Madd Katt sets up for a top rope hurricanrana, as Madd Katt goes to jump and connect with the move, Trey holds onto the ropes as Madd Katt falls to the mat, he rolls on the floor in pain holding his neck as Trey gets to his feet on the turnbuckle, he raises his hands to the crowd before jumping off the top rope and connecting with a diving elbow drop]

Richie Rhodes: Elbow drop by the longest reigning MPW world champion!!!

Thomas Simon: Could this be it?

Madd Katt now grabs Trey by the head and drops elbow straight to the top of his head. Madd Katt follows up by locking in a body scissors centre of the ring.

Thomas Simon: The body scissors when applied right can drain the energy of your opponent very fast because of the stress it puts on there ribs making them struggle for air

Richie Rhodes: So in other words they are in pain?

Thomas Simon: I am trying to be professional here Richie!

[Trey smiles as does Blaze and the three turn around and all raise their arms in victory as the scene ends]



Match 6 - Steel Cage

[When the opening of the song hits, Soul walks slowly from behind the curtain, standing at the top of the ramp as he surveys the crowd. Though still hidden in shadows, his silhouette reveals his impressive physique. Once the lyrics start, Soul walks deliberately to the ring. The cloak’s cowl obscures his face, but few in the audience notice as their eyes are drawn to his battle-scarred arms. In time with the bridge, the wrestler leaps onto the ring 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.]

Honey Winters: Making his way to the ring, From Boston Massachusetts, Soul Shadow!

[The lights in the arena dim and white and red strobe lights fill the arena as Counting Bodies Like Sheep by A Perfect Circle begins to play throughout the arena. The arena fills with boo’s as Crow comes out dressed in his black wrestling gear. ]

Ring Announcer: “Coming in from Omaha, Nebraska! Standing at 6’4 and weighing in at 240 pounds. He is the Angel of Death!.......he is CROW!” 

[Crow slowly makes his way down to the ring steps and makes his way up to the ring apron. Making his way into the ring, Crow makes his way to the other side of the ring and jumps on top of a turnbuckle and perches himself on top of it as he waits for the match to start.]

[Shadow and Crow each returned to their corners, staring down their opposition as the referee handed the title belt to a ring technician and the cage door was shut. The referee walked to the center of the ring and then called for the bell as the fans immediately cheered for the highly anticipated match. There was no hesitation from either man and immediately Shadow and Crow were charging at one another, locking up in the middle of the ring. Crow seemed to gain the early advantage by powering Shadow into a side headlock but no sooner had the move been locked in than Shadow was pushing Crow off and sending him toward the ropes. Crow however thought quickly and as he neared the ropes he was able to slow his momentum enough to instead suddenly begin to climb the side of the steel cage! Shadow immediately saw his error and ran after Crow, yanking the bigger man back down to Earth by one of his feet. The two began to exchange rights and lefts at an astonishing pace in a battle between speed versus power with speed being the momentary victor. Shadow got the advantage with a quick round of rights that sent Crow into the turnbuckle and in an impressive display Shadow backed up, ran, and leapt, using Crow’s own body to begin to climb up the side of the cage!]

Thomas Simon: Quick thinking by Shadow here!

Richie Rhodes: No! Not like this!

[Crow seemed to have the same thought as he slowly stepped up and balanced himself on the bottom two ring ropes and grabbed Shadow by the waist, sending him crashing down to the mat in a huge powerbomb that left the ring and cage shaking. The fans were on their feet, mouths agape from the impact, as they watched Crow follow up his assault with several kicks to the ribs that left Shadow doubling over before dropping several elbows to the kidney’s and then went for the cover.]

1… 2… kickout!

Thomas Simon: It’s going to take more than that to take that belt from Shadow.

Richie Rhodes: Are you kidding? Shadow just got lucky. He probably had an itch or something. If he were smarter he would have just stayed down.

[Crow gripped Shadow by the head and started to yank him to his feet but Shadow shot out of the gate with a huge uppercut that clocked Crow just under the chin and sent him crashing back into the side of the cage. Shadow leapt into an impressive standing dropkick that sent Crow’s head smashing even harder back against the twisted metal of the cage. Grabbing the back of his head Crow seemed to slump for a moment, his fingers moving to the back of his head and coming away red with blood.]

Thomas Simon: Looks like the cage has opened up Crow.

Richie Rhodes: Really? How did you know Sherlock?

[Shadow smashed Crow into the cage again and began to rake his face back and forth against the metal side of the cage. Crow fell to the mat, clutching his face and Shadow added salt to the wound with a big knee to the back of the head. Crow crashed onto his back and Shadow took to the turnbuckle, glancing behind him for only a moment before taking to the air in a huge moonsault. Crow however saw the champion coming and got his knees up just in time to send them barreling into Shadow’s gut. Both men were down as several seconds ticked away. A slow trickle of blood could be seen coming from the corner of Shadow’s mouth. Thomas Simon: Uh oh, it looks like Crow’s knees might have done some internal damage to the current champion. He’s bleeding now too after that textbook but failed moonsault.]

Richie Rhodes: Crow is getting this shot for a reason. Because he can think quickly on his feet both defensively and offensively.

[Then there came more signs of movement from inside the ring as Shadow slowly began to slide toward the cage door, one hand holding his injured ribcage painfully. As the referees saw him coming they began to unlock the door. The fans were screaming in anticipation as Shadow reached the doorway but then from nowhere Crow was suddenly standing over Shadow and with one quick movement he slammed the cage door right on Shadow’s head!]

Thomas Simon: Oh my God! Did you hear that?!

[For a moment Crow looked at the door. This was his chance. He could walk out right now and win or… with a sick grin the bearded man told referees to shut the door!]

Richie Rhodes: Now THAT’S confidence!

Thomas Simon: Or stupidity! Crow would rather continue to punish Shadow than win this match!

[Inside the ring Crow seemed to be setting up Shadow for his signature Death Valley Driver but then out of nowhere, perhaps even out of desperation, Shadow pushed Crow hard in the chest. Crow stumbled back and bounced off the ring ropes just as Shadow did the same and then…]

Richie Rhodes: Double Clothesline! Both men are down!

Thomas Simon: These two putting their bodies on the line tonight Bob. Both men look exhausted and are bleeding. This one could really go either way.

[Then it happened. Crow started to show signs of life just as Shadow struggled to his feet. Slowly Crow made his way toward the cage door, his head bleeding more profusely now from all the abuse. It seemed to slow him either from pain or disorientation as Shadow grabbed the turnbuckle to help pull himself up. Then he began to climb.]

Thomas Simon: It looks like this one is going to end up coming down to a race! Which man will make it out of the cage first?!

[The fans were once again on their feet as the world watched Shadow climb and finally reach the top of the cage and stand, turning to see his opponent’s progress. Crow had just reached the door and the officials were unlocking it! For a moment Shadow looked down at the matted floor surrounding the ring and cage then back at Crow. A twisted grin crossed his face and their came a huge pop from the fans.]

Thomas Simon: Oh no…

Richie Rhodes: What?

Thomas Simon: He’s not…

Richie Rhodes: What? He’s not what?

[Shadow turned so his body was once again facing into the ring.]

Thomas Simon: Oh my God, he is…!

Richie Rhodes: He is WHAT?

Thomas Simon: Don’t do it Shadow! Just climb out! Don’t do it!

Richie Rhodes: DO WHAT?! Draw me a picture! Charades! Something!

[Without another moment’s hesitation Shadow launched himself from the top of the cage, flying high with an elbow drop on to Crow!]

1…2…

Thomas Simon: Soul Shadow Did It! OH NO HE KICKED OUT!

[Soul Shadow pounds on the mat and is slow to get up]

Richie Rhodes: he got cocky... he could have won it there

Thomas Simon: OH NO!

[The lights suddenly go out as the fans buzz. When they come back on Night Terrors are outside the ring trying to claw their way in. The referee is drawn to them and yelling at them to step away from the cage.]

Thomas Simon: Turn around!

[Soul Shadow turns around and Impaler is behind him. He wraps his hands around his throat and goes for the chokeslam. The referee turns around in time and catches him in the act and calls for the bell!]

Honey Winters: here is your winner via disqualification... Soul Shadow!

[Impaler slams him down to the mat as Crow looks on with pleasure.]

{As Samuel and Clay slide into the ring, Impaler and Crow stand over the fallen Soul Shadow, who is struggling to regain his senses. The ref tries to intervene, only to be unceremoniously tossed face-first into the steel mesh by Clay, mercifully knocking him out. As Soul gets to his knees, he finds himself surrounded by the Damned quartet. Smiling wickedly, Crow bends down to get right in Soul’s face, mouthing threats. Now standing, his opponent quickly surveys the scene as both Impaler and Clay press in from the sides while Samuel stands silently behind him. Soul scowls at Crow, then delivers a vicious elbow to Clay, catching the big man off-guard. Before anyone else can react, he bull-rushes Crow, slamming him hard into the wall. Moving swiftly, he dives for the door. Samuel grabs his arm to cut him off, only to receive a punch to the jaw.}

Thomas Simon: Soul caught the Damned by surprise and is making one hell of a bid to escape!

Richie Rhodes: He’s got no chance… it is only a matter of time before the numbers game catches up to him!

{Impaler flies in, nailing Soul with a beautiful tackle. However, the veteran manages to roll with it, bringing his foe with him in the tumble. Soul ends up in a dominant position with Impaler in a headlock, perhaps looking to deliver a DDT. Before he can execute his planned move, Clay dashes across the ring and rams Soul with a vicious lariat. Soul does a complete flip from the force, landing in a painful faceplant. With cruel smiles, every member of the Damned quickly descends on him, raining vicious kicks and punches to the rising MPW star.}

Richie Rhodes: This looks bad, Tom. He’s trapped in the cage with the Damned!

Thomas Simon: But help is on the way! Look at the ramp!

{As the Damned work over Soul, the Resistance races out of the back. The crowd cheers as Johnny Clash, Roxi Johnson, Brandon Nytrus, and Chrissy Starr reach the cage. However, the encouraging cries quickly change to despair as the faction’s attempt to enter the ring is stymied the padlocked door. Roxi screams for the key from the attendant. However, he can only point to the ring, indicating the unconscious referee is in possession of it.}

Thomas Simon: Oh my God! The Resistance can’t enter the cage! They can’t help Soul Shadow!

Richie Rhodes: Oh man… Crow has said he intends to teach Soul the comfort of unending pain. Looks like he is going to receive one hell of a lesson tonight…

{Crow and Samuel laugh at the frustrated attempts of the Resistance to gain entry to the cage. Behind them, one of the pads has been stripped from the turnbuckle. Clay sets Soul between his legs, pulls him up, runs toward the corner, and powerbombs him into the exposed steel. Smiling evilly, the Impaler perches himself on the top rope in the exact same corner. Clay picks up Soul’s limp body and holds it up for his stablemate. Impaler pulls his future opponent into a standing suplex position, maintaining the position for several long moments. Finally, he drops down, delivering a sick top-rope brainbuster onto the exposed buckle.}

Richie Rhodes: Geez! Soul’s skull must have been shattered by that!

Thomas Simon: Someone has to stop this carnage!

{Johnny screams for a pair of bolt-cutters so they can sever the chain. Brandon, the strongest of the team, strains his muscles in a futile attempt to rip the door from its hinges. Roxi and Chrissy each shake the cage, frustrated their inability to get inside to assist. Inside, Samuel flies off the top rope with an amazing shooting star press right into the back of his inert prey. Instantly, Crow yanks his foe’s neck up and applies his dragon sleeper finisher, dubbed the Chinese Water Torture. Samuel runs to the ropes, rebounds, and dropkicks Soul Shadow’s bloody face. Crow doesn’t release the hold, allowing his ally to repeat the action. In the meanwhile, Impaler and Clay lift the apron and pull both a table and chair from under the ring.}

Thomas Simon: What are the Damned planning?

Richie Rhodes: I don’t think they are planning on just hurting Soul. They might be looking to end his comeback tonight!

{Johnny tries to aid Brandon in his endeavors with the door. Roxi and Chrissy scream threats and warnings at the Damned, but they are ignored. Clay sets up the table while Crow and Samuel continue to torture Soul. Once it is in position, Impaler drops the chair on one side. Outside the cage, a few ringhands finally arrive with a bolt-cutter. Roxi snatches it from them and rushes it to the chain. Inside the ring, Crow has released his hold, allowing Clay to pick up the once-former champion into a powerbomb position. Behind him, Samuel perches himself on the top rope as Crow and Impaler stand on either side of the Night Terror. With a gleeful cry, Samuel leaps high in the air and catches Soul around the neck, flipping into a neckbreaker. Clay, aided by his two faction-mates, tosses his victim into a devastating powerbomb, shattering the table under its force. Even worse, Samuel’s maneuver guides the back of Soul’s head into the steel chair lying on the mat.}

Thomas Simon: NO!

Richie Rhodes: Forget calling an ambulance! We are going to need a hearse!

{All four members of the Damned stand in a circle over Soul’s broken and bleeding body. Laughing, they face each other, arms raised to the sky. Outside, Roxi cuts through the chain which was holding the door shut. Brandon rips the door open as Chrissy and Johnny prepare to rush inside. At that moment, the lights once again inexplicably go dark throughout the arena. For long seconds, the only illumination is provided by cellphones and cigarette lighters. Finally, the lights return. The four members of the Resistance, now inside the cage, look around with confused looks on their faces for the Damned are nowhere to be seen. They have once again disappeared mysteriously into the night, leaving a shattered Soul Shadow in their wake.}
