Honey Winters: and his opponent, from London England, Nathan James!
Nathan James explodes towards Taufik as the bell rings, staggering the Franchise with a seriesof blows and kicks. James follows up with a European uppercut sending Taufik stumbling back into the ropes, as Nathan James swiftly dives in hoisting his opponent up on his shoulders, before driving him into the mat with a samoan roll.
Bob Herman: Impressive start here from Nathan James, with a move reminisced of his fellow countryman Lord Steven Regal
Thomas Simon: You have to excuse my colleague, he is referring to William Regal, but no one under the age of 60 is expected to know this
Bob Herman: For the love of god Tommy, it wasn't that long ago
Taufik is slowly getting to his feet gasping for air, as James grabs him and whips him into the ropes, taking Taufik right back on the mat with a snap powerslam for the cover
Thomas Simon: Could this be it already?
1...2 Taufik kicks out and Nathan is right back on his opponent with a barrage of mounted punches, before dragging his opponent back up
Thomas Simon: This could have been quite the upset if Nathan James had taken the win there
Bob Herman: Nah! You won't beat Taufik that easy, the kid has been on a roll lately, so you can bet he won't go down without a fight
Once more James has Taufik up and staggers him with a series of rights before going for a suplex, but Taufik blocks it wrapping his foot around Nathan's leg and countering with one of his own, keeping the hold and rolling both back to their feet for another
Bob Herman: Its the Three Imam's!!!!
Thomas Simon: Wht the hell are you talking about Bob?
Bob Herman: Well Taufik isn't Mexican so it cant be the three amigos
Thomas Simon: Are you out to upset all of our Muslim viewers?
Bob Herman: The Three Wise Men then?
Thomas Simon: For Christ's sake Bob, shut up!!!
Taufik ends the series and rolls to his feet, James arches his aching back as he slowly rolls up on his knees. Instantly Taufik is over hisopponent raining down brutal club like blows on Nathan's head and upper body, before grabbing his opponent by the arm sending him running. James bounces of the ropes on the opposite side and right into the arms of the waiting Taufik, who sends him flying with an overhead belly to belly.
Bob Herman: I guess Nathan James is flying Air Taufik these days
Thomas Simon: He defiantly got air on that throw
Bob Herman: That's what I said, but it is what Taufik is know for those beautiful suplexes, which he pulls off every time from any angle and to everyone
Like a pitbull Taufik is back on his opponent, forcing James to sit up as he slaps on a Buffalo Sleeper, trying to choke Nathan James out. The referee is down to check, asking James if he want's to tap, but James refuses, shooting his arm into the air looking for support. Slowly the crowd gets behind Nathan as he starts to fight his way out landing a vicious knee to the head of Taufik. The Franchise drops backwards and lets go, more chocked than hurt as he stares wide eyed at James, who shakes his head trying to get his barrings. Taufik is back on his feet and marches over to the rising Nathan James, going for another club like blow, but James fights back landing a hard right to the body sending Taufik staggering backwards.
Thomas Simon: What a come back from James, but does he have enough left to win it
Bob Herman: I doubt it, the kid gave a good showing, but as I said Taufik is on a roll and he wont give up his momentum
[With a roar James charges Taufik with a lariat, but Taufik manages to duck under and hook the arm in the same movement, locking in the “May Allah Be With You!!!, James tries desperately to fight his way out but to no avail as Taufik has it locked in tight. Slowly Nathan fades away as the referee is over to check and lifts up the arm of James]
1...2...3 as the arm drops for the third time the bell rings, and Taufik drops his opponent to the mat. He gets his arm raised in victory as the fans cheer for him]
Bob Herman: Another impressive win for Taufik here tonight.
[Taufik grabs a microphonea s the crowd quiets down]
Taufik: Jason Xavier! You want to interrupt my matches and make me look like an idiot? Well i'm standing right here and i'm ready for you! Come out here!
[Taufik drops the microphone and gets in fighting stance. Jason doesn't show up]
Thomas Simon: Well it looks like Jason is a coward. We will be right back folks.

Bob Herman: This new up and comer really proved himself last week and i see great things in his future
["Reborn" by Damageplan is heard blasting throughout the arena. Shaun Cross wastes no time as he walks onto the stage, immediately starting down the ramp. Occasionally drifting to the sides of the ramp to high-five a few fans.]
Honey Winters: Weighing in at 215lbs from Portland, ME. The Samurai. Shaun Cross!!
[He slides into the ring and quickly springs to his feet, rushing across and climbing the far turnbuckle. He raises his arms up above his head for a moment before hopping back down onto the canvas, turning around and leaning against the corner ready and waiting.]
[The two lock up, looking for an advantage in strength, struggling. Gabriel takes it this time and lifts Toast off of his feet and to the ground with a take down. He stays down there and squeezes him into a waist lock.]
Thomas Simon: There's this kid's mat skills. So effective.
[Toast uses his strength to get to his feet. He spreads Shaun's arms apart, releasing the hold. Toast puts Shaun on his shoulders and falls back immediately and connects with a Samoan Drop.

Toast finds a chair and then hits Gabriel on the back with it. Gabriel screams out in pain as Toast drops the chair to the side. He picks Gabriel up and throws him into the barricade. He collapses and stays down. Toast moves the hair out of his face.]
Bob Herman: Toast is pumped right now!!!!
[He takes Gabriel and rolls him into the ring. He pins him.]
1...2... Kick out.
[Toast stands immediately and picks Gabriel up. But suddenly, he fights back. He gains control and throws Toast outside the ring. He immediately follows and picks him up. He throws him into the Toastd. Gabriel follows in hot pursuit of Toast. They begin trucking up the stairs of the arena where Gabriel begins to clobber on the back of his opponent. Toast is on one knee now in the stands. He receives a kick in the side and falls down. Gabriel takes a fan's water and pours it on himself and takes a sip. He takes Toast by the hair and spits it out in his face and hits him in the face with the bottle. This sends Toast down a couple steps.]
Thomas Simon: This is a war!! My god!!
Bob Herman: What a match!!
[The Toastd pops as Gabriel picks Toast up and puts him on his shoulders. He carries him down the steps and by the barricade. He puts him down and slams his face into the barricade. Toast now has a cut on his forehead.]
Bob Herman: Toast has been busted open!!
Thomas Simon: What a shot!!
[Gabriel realizes it and smiles. He picks him up and throws him into the ringside area. Shaun stands on the top of the barricade and jumps and clotheslines Toast down. He stands up and flexes and screams. His face turns red.]
Thomas Simon: This kid is pumped up!!
[Shaun walks to ringside and takes out a table. He places it in the ring and sets it up. Toast is beginning to stand, his forehead gushing blood for the time being. Shaun exits the ring and walks towards Toast who catches him with a lariat. Both men now lay lifeless on the outside.]
Thomas Simon: What a move by Toast!!!
Bob Herman: Now what's gonna happen!?!?!
[Both men begin to move after a couple of moments of the Toastd popping. Toast is the first to his feet. He rolls into the ring. Shaun stands up now, he rolls himself into the ring. Both men stand at the same time and watch each other for a moment. Then they charge and begin the "yay" and "boo" spaghetti shots. Suddenly, after Toast hits a shot, Toast picks up Cross and spinebusters him through the table out of nowhere and pins him.]
1...2...3!!!!
[Both men lay lifeless on the table area as the referee calls for help]
Thomas Simon: Oh this isn't good...
[Light Up The Sky by Thousand Foot Krutch hits as Chris Cable appears on the ramp]
Thomas Simon: Oh no..... Please No
[Cable walks down the ramp and slides Cross in to the ring pushing the referee away]
Bob Herman: The man just went through hell this is enough!
[Cable picks Cross up and props him in the corner. He then laughs at him and backs up to the opposite corner. Cable slides down his elbow pad and is set to finish him.]
Thomas Simon: Please Don't Cable!
[Denial by Sevendust hits as the fans go crazy]
Bob Herman: What the!?
[Jack Dogwin busts out from the curtain and runs down to the ring. Before Cable could react he throws punches at him before a kick to the stomach followed by a Jacked Up. The crowd goes crazy as he walks back to the backstage]
Thomas Simon: Jack Dogwin.. has found his target!
Bob Herman: But who is he working for?
Thomas Simon: We will have to wait and find out but by the looks of it, AOA is in a lot of trouble!
Bob Herman: Fans now we must take you back to our pre show earlier today where some disturbing things had happened
Thomas Simon: This was brutal to watch. Let's roll it.
EARLIER TONIGHT - Dark Match
~Suddenly, the lights go black in the arena. Nothing can be seen in the ring and the only source of lights are that from phones and camera’s flashing their light bulbs. Suddenly, the lights are turned on to find both El Cunado and Lex Looney knocked out and beaten to a bloody pulp. In the center of the ring sits a man wearing black on a metal chair. The fans looks confused as they look at the figure slouched on the chair with his face hidden as he has his head tucked into body. Slowly, the figures head slowly brings his masked face up so that the crowd can see who it is. Most of the fans in the arena don’t’ recognize the individual, some people from the crowd do and they can’t believe their eyes as a “Holy Shit” chant begins to begin. A sinister smile comes from the lips of the masked man as he slowly brings the microphone up to his lips.
Tim Bowers: “Who the hell is that?”
Jay Wyatt: “I’ve heard the rumors but I didn’t think they were true. If I’m right, and God I hope I’m wrong about this, but if I’m right, this……..this is Crow.”
Tim Bowers: “What!?! How the hell could MPW sign this phsyco? I thought he wasn’t allowed to wrestle back in the states after his last match? Who the hell is running this fed for peats sake!”
Jay Wyatt: “If anyone in the back can hear us, we need medics down here and some answers quick.”
Crow: “Death is something that we all fear. It’s the unknown. It’s the end of a life. You lose so much from it. Friends, family, emotions, and life. All gone with a blink of an eye when death raises her hand and touches you. Heaven and hell, hell and heaven. The unknown of death scares us all and it’s for good reasons. While people today fear death and it’s uncertainty of an afterlife, I embrace it. I look at death…… and I don’t see an ending in life……..I see it as a new beginning. A new chapter to a story. I look at death and I see hope, salvation, and a new way of life. I……..”
~Before Crow can say another word, the beaten and weaken Lex Looney reaches onto Crow’s leg and tries his best to pull himself up. Crow reaches down and holds the man’s head with his hand.
Crow: “Shhhh. It’s ok child. No more pain. No more fighting. It’ll all be over soon. Now rest you’re weary head. I have business to conduct.”
~Crow quickly takes the microphone and beats it over the head of El Cunado. El Cunado falls down hard but Crow doesn’t let up as he continues to beat on the skull of (wrestler) until Crow is finally satisfied. Crow raises the bloody microphone and continues to talk as he stares into the camera.
Crow: “I’m here to bring you all to a new journey. I’m here to embrace your wills with new ways of thinking, and seeing the world how I see it. I’m here to intrigue you with new emotions and pain that you thought never existed. I’m here to show you all that death is something that you shouldn’t fear, but look forward to. There will be people who will try to stop me…….they always do try to stop me………but they always see the light, either by their own free will or when I dig my fingertips into their eye lids and make them cry blood as they see what I see. May God have mercy on all of your souls……..because I will give you none.”
~Suddenly, the lights go out and the arena is filled with blackness again. Seconds pass until the lights are turned back on to find Crow missing. EMT’s quickly run into the ring and check on El Cunado and Lex Looney.

Thomas Simon That's Trey and oh my god he has a crowbar in hand
Bob Herman: It is Tim, and I think he knows how to use it.
Thomas Simon: I don't think Gabe knows he is there. Trey Baxter just connected that bar with the back of Gabe's Knee, Gabe is down and hurt holding that left knee.

[Jason turns and goes for the cover. 1...2 Griffin kicks out.]
Thomas Simon: Quick cover by Jason.
Bob Herman: It was a slow count.
[Gabe starts to rise as Jason begins kicking him. Jason Pulls Gabe up into a side headlock.]
Thomas Simon: We haven't seen any offense out of Gabe yet today
Bob Herman: Well with a talent like Jason you wouldn't expect much.
Thomas Simon: Its obvious bob he is still reeling from the surprise attack of trey Baxter.
[Jason grinds the headlock harder s Gabe finally sets himself and throws a couple strong elbows to Jason. Gabe pops out of the headlock and begins a flurry of punches]

Thomas Simon: Cheap shot
Bob Herman: But it worked.
[Jason hits a sitting powerbomb]

Bob Herman: I don't think Jason is finished, he is going to the top rope.

[He throws the mic down and rolls out of the ring and limps back to the back.]
[Backstage Jason X is walking with the help of his girlfriend. He holds the back of his head but suddenly he gets speared into the MPW Backstage Interview set as pipes fall down and the back drop tears. Taufik stands up and brushes himself off and smiles. He looks at Faith and smirks]
Taufik: Tell your man, watch his back and this won't happen next time. I'll see him next week

Johnny Clash: First of all Tom, I don't have to answer that question. Why? Because I do what I want and if I want to fire you, I can.
Thomas Simon: I was just..
Johnny Clash: Listen Tom, William Rockefeller, the owner of WWO as you know has just purchased WTN, the Wrestling Television Network.
Bob Herman: So what does that mean for us Johnny? Is MPW going down?

Drake Hunter: Ah, get off me. don't touch me Chris. We have to stop this guy
[One Step Closer by Linkin Park hits as the fans cheer. Madd Katt steps on to the ramp and then heads down the ramp. He slaps five with fans on the way down and slides under the ropes. He takes a microphone]

[The crowd cheers again]
Madd Katt: Now it seems I have a bit of a problem and it's with those good for nothing Age of Arrogance fellas. So what is a man to do when he is out numbered and out smarted... he gets back up. Or in this case he "buys" Backup.

Honey Winters: Ladies and gentlemen this next match is scheduled for one fall…..Introducing first….
["Light up the Sky" by Thousand Foot Krunch plays and Chris Cable to the boos of the fans makes his way to the stage.]

The Age of Arrogance…..please what you’ve done in MPW does not hold a candle to what Iconic Aggression does. Right behind is “The Bastard” himself the MPW Sin City Champion and destroyer of worlds plus one half of the best tag team walking this earth Jackson Blaze………Then you have the man outside the ring…..Lucas King….The man that in a short time here already has the MPW Television Championship around his waist……..

Please there is enough internal squabble with trying to decide what to do with Kuk Bitchswitch….They have no focus….no drive to succeed….Iconic Aggression is here to take over everything…..whether it be for MPW or WWO WE DON’T CARE! Talents like ourselves don’t need to worry what will happen because the gold comes to us……We’ve seen many stables come in go in MPW but none have been as dominant as us…..What is there The Varsity? Pffft yeah that worked then you had the ring crew band together to create the New Generation…..oh and let’s not forget the “True Wrestling Icons” please a retired old has been, a fat cow, a whiny rat and walking herpe…..Nothing will stop us! Let this be a reminder to you all just who runs this show……
[Trey drops the mic and Lucas joins them in the ring. The three stablesmates hold the gold high in the air as the crowd boos and we go to commercial break.]
[scene opens up in a locker room of the AoA. Drake is standing in front of Bliss and Kuk with a determined look on his face]
Drake: When you go out there I want you to listen to what Bliss tells you...you got that? This has not been our night yet and that is ABOUT TO CHANGE!
[Kuk looks less than impressed and shrugs. Drake then turns to Bliss. The two exchange less than friendly faces with one another]
Drake: And you... you are going to go out there and your going to put Jackson Blaze in his place once and for all. Every time he gets tagged in get Kuk to tag you in. You have to prove to me that your still in this. That Blaze means nothing.
[Bliss takes a deep angry sigh]
Bliss: I don't have to prove anything Drake. You're the one who is insecure and can't be happy with just my word. I'm going to go out there and I'm going to win my match
[Kuk nods]
Kuk: Just trust that we're able to do this man.
[Drake shakes his head and then walks away from them and suddenly slamming his hand against the drywall. He spins and gets right in Kuk's face]
Bliss: Drake...
[She pulls at his arm but he doesn't budge. She pushes her way between them.]
Drake: What are you doing? What do you think you're running the show now because you beat The whore a couple times, because you took a little charge. Let me tell you something Kahlan, you are nothing. You are just a speck in comparison to what I can do, this all depends on me to bring it to fruition, you are all but players. So little miss 'I can't say a bad thing about my EX boyfriend' you do have a lot to prove to me and so does Kukky crunch or whatever the hell your finisher is called. By far you two are our weakest links and I need you to cut the shit and do what your supposed to do. Do we have an understanding?
[Bliss glares at him a second before storming past him, making sure to slam the door behind her. Kuk narrows his eyes and follows after her, leaving the room with just Drake Chris and Andre. Drake smirks slightly as the scene fades out]
Match 5
Honey Winters: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following is a Tag Team match. Introducing first, representing the Age of Arrogance...The team of 'The original Goddess' Bliss and Kuk Killswitch!!!
['City' by Hollywood Undead booms of the PA as to a chorus of boos and Bliss in toe comes out to the ring first followed by Kuk. Bliss takes a step forward on the stage walking towards the ring. She doesn't look happy or impressed. Kuk follows along behind her, stepping up he steps on the rope to allow Bliss to get in. They both stand back against the ropes to await their opponent]
Honey Winters: And their opponents, the team of Trey Baxter and Jackson Blaze...Iconic Aggression!
['Cocky' by Kid rock comes on and Baxter and Blaze come out. they smirk at each other before wasting no time getting in the ring. Blaze winks at Bliss on the other side of her rope before climbing over his]
Thomas Simon: We are all set for our next match as Kuk Killswitch and Bliss team up against both Jackson Blaze and Trey Baxter. It looks like a play for dominance here tonight.
Bob Herman: You know who can dominate me....
Thomas Simon: Just don't... And it's Kuk and Trey in the ring first
[Baxter strikes Killswitch in the chest with a backhand chop. Baxter Irish whips Killswitch into the corner and then hits him with a step-up knee strike. Baxter then puts him in a headlock and takes Killswitch down with a bulldog. Killswitch is down for only a few seconds before he's pulling himself up with the ropes in the corner where Bliss is standing. She leans over and starts talking into his ear. He leans over and shakes his head, his brow furrowed. Bliss starts to appear more animated and insistent.]
Thomas Simon: Looks like Kuk doesn't want to take direction from his student.
Bob Herman: It appears that there may be some cracks in that hard shell the AoA is trying to show.
[Killswitch, ignoring Bliss' runs at and sends Baxter into the corner and then runs after him. Killswitch leaps into the air and comes crashing down on Baxter, hitting him with a corner splash. Killswitch drags Baxter into the middle of the ring then goes for a cover. Bliss starts screaming from her corner to tag her in.]
Bob Herman: Like Baxter is going to be down for good with that, what's Bliss' problem?
Thomas Simon: And Baxter kicks out at not even a 2 count. It was a good attempt but this match is only just beginning. Baxter is tagging Blaze in now.
Baxter scrambles to his corner, tagging in Blaze.
Thomas Simon: Blaze is fresh and ready to go head-to-head with Kuk....who's still refused to tag in Bliss.
Bob Herman: It looks like he's Sending Drake Hunter a message here...no one is the boss of Kuk Killswitch
[Blaze hits Killswitch in the gut with a front kick. Killswitch doubles over. Blaze moves in to try and punch him but Killswitch hits Blaze with a haymaker to the face. Bliss starts yelling again from the ropes, jumping up and reaching out telling Kuk to tag her in. Killswitch shakes his head, Blaze recovers and as Killswitch goes back, Blaze bounces back against the ropes, leaps up and kicks Killswitch in the back of the head with an enzuigiri.]
Thomas Simon: Kuk Killswitch might be out cold after that....seems that these two are inadvertently sabotaging each other instead of working together
Bob Herman: Seems to be making it all too easy for Baxter and Blaze to get a win in this match. Blaze going for a pin and again Killswitch kicks out.
[Bliss is yelling again at Killswitch to tag her in but he ignores her once more to go right after Blaze. He hooks the head of Blaze from behind, putting him in a sleeper hold. He continues to apply pressure as Blazes reaches for the rope, but Killswitch keeps applying pressure.]
Thomas Simon: Blaze has got to try and grab the ropes to break out of this hold
Bob Herman: I'm curious why Kuk has refused to tag Bliss in.
[Blaze grabs the ropes and the referee forces Killswitch to let go of the Hold. Blaze backs up and tags Baxter back in. Killswitch cracks his neck and indicates to Baxter to bring it. Once again Bliss is yelling from the corner, getting more and more frenzied. Baxter hits Killswitch in the chest with a backhand chop while he's distracted. He grows as A look crosses his face and instead of returning the action he walks backward toward the corner with Bliss. Bliss climbs into the ring, putting her hands on his biceps as she looks up in his face. There is a bit of concern there.]
Bob Herman: Finally, looks like we're finally going to see some action from the Goddess...
Thomas Simon: Wait...he's not tagging her in...he's talking to her...
[In the ring Killswitch is talking to Bliss, raising his arms and almost yelling. Bliss is shaking her head, putting a hand on his shoulder as if she's trying to reassure him of something.]
Thomas Simon: It looks like Kuk is cracking up...
[Suddenly, Kuk smirks, Hits Bliss' open raised hand and slides out under the bottom rope. Baxter and Blaze are watching. Blaze looks amused while Baxter pissed off. Kuk starts to walk toward the barrier and hops over. Bliss' eyes go wide as she screams at him from the ropes to come back.]
Thomas Simon: Ladies and Gentlemen...Kuk Killswitch is...leaving....this match is turning into a 2 on 1 handicap.
[Kuk turns at the top of the stairs and shrugs before disappearing through the exit. Baxter smirks and gets himself read to attack as Bliss slowly starts to turn, a horrified look on her face.]
Thomas Simon: I don't know if Bliss is going to be able to take on both or these men by herself.
Bob Herman: Baxter is getting ready to attack...but wait...what...
[Blaze reaches over and slaps Baxter on the back, grins at Baxter with a shrug and climbs into the ring. Baxter's face goes animated at being robbed of his chance at the Goddess. Blaze points toward the ropes as the ref comes over to push Baxter back through. He walks toward Bliss, staring at her with that same cocky smile but not making any move to touch her. Bliss is frozen.]
Thomas Simon: What is Blaze doing? Why isn't Bliss attacking?
Bob Herman: *chuckling* You are so obtuse Tommy boy...haven't you been paying attention to twitter this week. I think these two have been playing outside the ring recently....
[Blaze reaches out to brush a strand of hair behind her ear. She backs up, her eyes wide and unsure. he smiles just as "Chalk Outline" cues and fills the air. Blaze turns to watch as Drake appears at the top of the ramp. he stops, and crosses his arms across his chest. Bliss runs to the turnbuckle closest to the entrance ramp and gets up, yelling to Drake and thanking him for coming to her rescue. Drake doesn't budge. He simply shakes his head. A look of anger starts to rise on her face. She starts yelling some more at Drake and he simply smirks at her and continues to shake his head.]
Thomas Simon: Why isn't Drake going out to help his girlfriend?
Bob Herman: He knows what's going on...like he said earlier, he wants' Bliss to prove her loyalty by taking out Blaze. he's not going to bail her out.
Thomas Simon: Bail her out? Bliss is one of the top competitors here in MPW, she doesn't need Drake Hunter to 'save her'
[She purses her lips together and it can be made out her saying 'Fine..have it your way' and she suddenly turns and leaps, landing right into an unprepared Jackson Blaze. She looks at him a second before putting both of her hands on either side of his face and kissing him deeply. Drake's expression changes from mirth to anger. he starts to walk down the ramp when Baxter moves to the bottom of it. It stops Drake midway. he takes an angry sigh, watching as Blaze looses his footing and the two go tumbling to the mat. he backs up shaking his head, disgusted. Baxter climbs back to the apron, seeing that the two are still making out. With a shake of his head he motions to the ref to count it. The ref shrugs and gets down and counts.]
1....2....3....
Honey Winters: And your winners?
[She looks confused because there is no indication that the couple in the ring are showing no signs of letting up.]
Honey Winters: By way of pinfall, Trey Baxter and Jackson Blaze....
[Baxter climbs in and lets the referee hold his arm up. Blaze breaks the embrace, looks briefly at Trey and then back to Bliss who is smiling.]
Thomas Simon: I'm speechless...what does this mean? Is this the start of the end of AoA...is Bliss joining up with Jackson Blaze?
Bob Herman: We're out of time for tonight, tune in next week for more MPW action
