** OPENING TRIPLE THREAT 'DARK' MATCH: PURGATORY vs. ANGEL SUICIDE vs. JIGGA C **

As soon as the bell rung, Angel Suicide leapt up at Purgatory trying to knock the big man down. Jigga, wisely, assists and they knock down and out of the ring with a dropkick. Jigga then quickly turns on Angel, nailing a back suplex. He then poses to the crowd who are all booing him. He picks Angel back up and tosses him to the ropes, but Angel ducks a clothesline

Angel leapfrogs over Jigga, but when he hits the ropes for a third time Purgatory jumps up and pulls the ropes down. Angel goes sprawling out onto the floor as Purg gets back in the ring. Jigga yells at him to bring it. Purg gets in the ring and immediately clotheslines the hell out of Jigga. Jigga is up and Purgatory does it again. This time Jigga rolls out of the ring, and Purgatory poses as the last man in the ring. Jigga talks some trash, as Angel is just now getting back to his feet. Angel slides in, and goes to dropkick Purgatory.. but Purgatory sees it and shrugs him off. Purgatory picks up Angel...

The Ride To Hell!

Purgatory goes for the cover, but Jigga C slides in the ring and kicks Purgatory hard in the head. He then grabs Purg and tosses him over the top rope. He sets his sights on Angel Suicide. Jigga picks him up...

Armbar Back Suplex!

Jigga goes for the cover.

Jigga's cousin Mikkel AND Mikkel's wife Borgia come down to the ring. Borgia repeatedly powerbombs Angel Suicide, while Mikkel uses the Khali vice grip on Purgatory's head. Jigga kicks at Angel Suicide after Borgia powerbombs him for a fourth time. Security had to come and break up the massacre, as the Covey clan had demolished both of Jigga's opponents.

The Winner of the bout... with a Armbar Back Suplex... JIGGA C!!

The scene cuts to the back and you see Vicious and Delicious walking down a hallway, coming towards the camera. Suddenly, Alan Fiscus comes into view and addresses the women. The crowd boos when they see Alan on the Combat-Tron.

ALAN: "Ladies, ladies... just the two I was looking for."

SYDNEY: "Oh yeah, Fiscus? What do you want with us... you're not GM, anymore. We don't have any reason to suck up to you now."

ALAN: "Nice point, Vicious, but I have a proposition for you just the same. You've seen what happened last week.. the show ended with the four baddest men on the roster standing over their prey. How would you like to be a part of that?"

STEPH: "Wait, you mean, join your little club??"

ALAN: "In so many words, yes. I want only the best women at my side, watching my back... watching OUR back. Sydney, you're the first ever Queen of Combat. Stephanie, you have that bad ass finisher, The Steph Infection, that I just love. You're not getting booked, and this is a chance to get you on some TV. And we ALL know you want that." Steph and Sydney tell Alan to hold on a second and go into a small huddle, outside of earshot. After a few moments of discussion, they return.

SYDNEY: "You know what, Fiscus? We accept!"

ALAN: "Wise decision, girls. Now... let's go discuss some plans."

Each women put their arm through Alan's, as they walk off out of view.

** TAG TEAM TRIPLE THREAT MATCH: COWBOYS FROM HELL vs. STORM BROS. vs. BEAUTIFUL AGONY **

Jared Daniels: Up next we have what is sure to be an excellent match as well as a fine display of the tag team warfare that has solidified it’s place here in the CZW. If you’ll recall, last week the Cowboys From Hell made their debut in the Warzone arena by assaulting the teams of both the Storm Brothers as well as Eddie Rowan and Jacob Havok of Beautiful Agony.

William Masters: It is guaranteed that neither the Storm Brothers nor Beautiful Agony have forgotten the impact that debut left upon them, and will most assuredly be looking for revenge tonight.

Jared Daniels: But in the end, only of these teams is going to walk away with a victory. We take you to the ring with Jessica Towers.

Jessica Towers: This match is a triple threat tag team match. Introducing first, hailing from Dallas, Texas… The team of Kevin Abbott and James Anselmo, the Cowboys from Hell!

“Cowboys from Hell” by Pantera plays as the quite nasty looking duo emerge onto the stage, their faces bearing a look of concentration as they walk to and enter the ring to a chorus of boos from the crowd.

Jessica Towers: Introducing their opponents from Manchester, England… Travis and Douglas Storm, the Storm Brothers!

“Rising Force” picks up, and the brothers emerge onto the ramp staring the cowboys down. The audience is moderately behind them with a couple of cheers. The brothers look each other over and then make a mad dash for the ring, sliding in and immediately begin trading blows with Abbott and Anselmo. The fight causes Jessica to take cover, exiting the ring before she can announce Beautiful Agony.

William Masters: These guys aren’t even going to wait for their mutual opponents!

“Wings of a Butterfly” plays as the fans suddenly go into an uproar of cheers. Havok and Monroe step out onto the ramp and look the action over before giving each other matching sly grins. They make a break for the ring. Havok leaps up onto the apron as Mike slides in under the ropes. Mike dropkicks Abbott from behind, sending him crashing into Travis, the two men effectively toppling over the ropes to the outside. Mike then turns Douglas around and ducks as Havok flies into the ring with a springboard dropkick, sending Douglas Storm plowing backwards into Anselmo, sending them falling out of the ring as well. Monroe and Havok each climb a turnbuckle and call for a reaction from the crowd, the fans blowing up in light of their presence. The fans LOVE Beautiful Agony!

Jared Daniels: Beautiful Agony wasting no time in devastating both teams, as well as getting the fans behind them.

William Masters: That’s all good and well, but the fans aren’t going to help you win a match. It’s not like they can hop over the guardrail and lend you a hand.

Mike and Havok look at each other from atop the turnbuckles and nod. They leap simultaneously, Mike sailing through the air with a body splash on the regrouping Storm Brothers while Havok nails the Cowboys from Hell with a shooting star press! Bodies are lying everywhere as the fans sound off with chants of “Holy shit” followed by back and forth across the arena of “We love Havok” and “We love Monroe”.

Jared Daniels: All six of these guys are currently lying before our announcing table. Beautiful Agony have scouted their opponents well, and have an excellent sense of timing when coordinating their attacks.

William Masters: I’ll give them that. It’s why they work so well together.

Monroe pulls Travis to his feet and lays into his chest with a backhand chop, lighting the Storm brother’s chest up as the crowd chants, “Whooooo!” Havok picks up Abbott and delivers a string of kicks to each of his thighs before polishing off the combo with a spinning back kick that bowls the man over the Spanish commentator’s table, taking our Pedro and Ramirez with his fall.

Jared Daniels: Monroe and Havok are on fire! They’ve separate their opponents and are taking them apart!

William Masters: When did we get Spanish announcers?

Mike lights up Travis’ chest once more to another resounding “Whooooo!” from the crowd, but he is struck from behind by Douglas with a vicious forearm shot to the back of the head. Dazed, Mike is helpless as the Storm Brothers each take an arm, forcefully Irish whipping him into the barricade at ringside, Mike nailing the wall with his chest. The brothers then lift him high above their heads and drop him face first against the barricade, sending Mike whip lashing back against the floor. Havok notices and prepares to come help, but Anselmo grabs him by the back of his head and throws his face into the steel turnbuckle post, a sickening ringing sound emanates from the collision. Abbott climbs up from behind the Spanish table and climbs on top of it. He then hops over onto Jared and Master’s table, turning around. Anselmo picks up Havok and lifts him high into the air in the power bomb position. Havok is helpless as Anselmo power bombs him into and through the Spanish table while Abbott nails a frog splash on him through the table at the same time!!!

Jared Daniels: Oh my God! The raw power and brutality of the Cowboys double team attack has left Havok broken amidst the pieces of what used to be the Spanish commentator’s table!

William Masters: The divide and conquer tactic appears to have backfired on Beautiful Agony. And now they’re paying the price!

Havok lies motionless in the rubble as the Cowboys look over their handiwork. Abbott grabs the two steel chairs the Spanish announcer’s had been using and throws one to Anselmo. They suddenly eye the Storm Brothers who have picked Monroe back up. Travis points out the Cowboys to Douglas who nods with agreement. They Irish whip Monroe towards the Cowboys who deliver a double chair shot to his head as he approaches, knocking him out cold on the floor! The Cowboys and the Storm Brothers eye each other, the Cowboys daring them on, and the brothers pointing out the chairs. Abbott and Anselmo look at each other and then toss their chairs aside. Douglas Storm then points at the ring and the Cowboys nod, sliding in at the same time as the Storm Brothers.

William Masters: The Cowboys and the Storm Brothers have effectively taken out Beautiful Agony and have apparently decided to take the action back to the ring.

Jared Daniels: Without weapons no less. This match continues!

Anselmo charges at Douglas, but Douglas dodges the oncoming train, ducking behind him. Douglas dropkicks Anselmo in the back sending him into the ropes. Douglas goes for a roll up, but Anselmo clutches the top rope, sending Douglas rolling backwards to his feet as Anselmo spins around, damn near taking Douglas’ head of with a clothesline from his massive tree trunk-like arm! Travis gives Abbott a hard right to the head, but Abbott shrugs it off. Abbott headbutts Travis in the face and then whips him off the ropes. Abbott ducks for the back body drop, but Travis stops in his tracks and hits Abbott with a swinging neck breaker! Travis and Anselmo suddenly face each other, the only two standing at the moment. Travis charges in with a shoulder ram, but it does little to move the mountain of a man. Anselmo growls and challenges him to do it again. Travis nails a second shoulder ram, also with little effect. Anselmo laughs and poses with his muscle bound arms outstretched. Travis smirks and delivers a dropkick to Anselmo’s chest, causing the man to slowly topple backwards where Douglas comes up from behind with a roll up!

No!

The pin is interrupted by Abbott who leaps into them with a double axe handle. Travis approaches Abbott, but is met with a back elbow to his gut, knocking the wind out of him.

Jared Daniels: A near fall for the Storm Brothers with a sneaky roll up on the bigger half of the Cowboys.

William Masters: But it was too early in the game to count out Abbott who made the save for his team.

Abbott grabs Travis by the hair as Douglas approaches. He kicks Douglas in the stomach, doubling him over before grabbing him by the hair as well. Abbott forces the brothers to headbutt each other, sending them crashing to the mat on their backs. Anselmo gets back on his feet and grabs up Douglas, whipping him into the corner before nailing him with a body splash! Douglas crumples into the corner where Anselmo places a boot against his throat, choking him. Meanwhile, Abbott has lifted Travis up with what looks like a Spinebuster, but instead rushes the young man into the opposite turnbuckle before delivering a crushing back elbow to Travis’ throat.

Jared Daniels: The Cowboys are in full control of this match at the moment!

William Masters: They have a point to make here in their debut match, that they are in fact the best team in the CZW. And not just on Warzone, either!

The Cowboys call out to each other and then simultaneously Irish whip their opponents out of their opposing corners and into each other, the Storm brothers colliding and hitting the mat once more. They high five before making cut throat signatures. They lift the brothers back into the air with what looks like matching power bombs, but both brothers manage to reverse, hitting simultaneous hurricanrana pins! The ref has to count with both hands!

Kick out…and kick out!

Jared Daniels: The skill of these teams is absolutely stunning!

William Masters: I agree!

The Brothers get back to their feet. Douglas lifts Anselmo up and holds him still while Travis rebounds off the ropes nailing a shining wizard on the large man! Travis then lifts up and holds Abbott while Douglas rebounds off the ropes, delivering the same to Abbott! The Storm Brothers look to be taking advantage of the situation as Douglas goes for the pin.

No! Mike Monroe has come from out of nowhere with a flying leg drop to the back of Douglas’ head! The crowd erupts as Travis turns around just in time to find Havok front flipping off the top rope and landing on his chest, forcing him to the mat!

Jared Daniels: The Havok-Go-Round!

William Masters: The what-did-who, now?

Jared Daniels: You know, like the Molly-Go-Round Molly Holly used to use in the WWE.

William Masters: I wouldn’t know. I don’t watch crap wrestling.

Mike grabs up Travis and points out the turnbuckle as Havok goes to climb it. Mike flips Travis Storm up onto his shoulders and hoists him high into the air in the Last Ride position, his back to Havok who leaps off and catches Travis with a death defying hurricanrana, driving Travis into the mat hard, behind Monroe!!! Havok holds the pin while Mike turns to watch.

No! Abbott leapfrogs over Monroe and clotheslines Havok, stopping the count!

Jared Daniels: I thought that was it! Beautiful Agony proving they’re still in the game and nailing some of the most innovative moves I’ve ever seen!

William Masters: Hate to burst your bubble there, Jared, but the Cowboys aren’t having any of it!

Mike drives a sharp knee into the base of Abbot’s spine, pushing him up against the ropes. Douglas Storm gets on his feet again and charges them both, the three men meeting in a collision then send them all over the top rope and back out to the arena floor. Anselmo is the first in the ring to get back up as Travis Storm and Jacob Havok slowly stir about. Anselmo lifts Travis back to his feet and clutches his throat with his left hand. Havok gets back on his feet but finds his throat in the clutches of Anselmo’s right hand. Anselmo begins alternating headbutts back and forth between Travis and Havok! Havok, then Travis, then Havok, then Travis… Both men appear to have trace amounts of blood trickling from their faces as Anselmo shows no signs of stopping. Suddenly the crowd erupts into cheers again as Eddie Rowan comes running down to the ring with his patented “Skullbuster II”! Eddie slides into the ring with the weight and armor enhanced steel chair and swings it hard, bashing it across the back of Anselmo’s head!

William Masters: What the hell is this?!?

Jared Daniels: This would have to be Eddie’s revenge for being attacked last week by the Cowboys!

William Masters: He’s ruining a perfectly good match!

Jared Daniels: Vengeance knows no rules my friend, and Eddie Rowan is full of vengeance!

Anselmo unhands the men, Travis and Havok stumbling about as Eddie cracks him across the back of the skull again. Anselmo goes down to one knee. Eddie looks to be seething as he raises the reinforced chair from behind his foe, executioner style and brings it crashing down hard against Anselmo’s head once more, busting him open and laying him out cold on the mat! Eddie looks lost, his eyes vacant as he stares down the unconscious Cowboy. Travis begins to move in for what appears to be a pin, but startles Eddie as he brushes against him. Instinctively, Eddie turns around and cracks Travis in the head with Skullbuster II as well! This time, Eddie looks shocked by what he’s done. Havok reaches out and puts a hand on his shoulder. Eddie turns around and prepares to swing once more before he realizes that it is indeed his team mate. He stops his swing as Havok backs away from what could have been disastrous. Abbott suddenly grabs Havok’s legs from under the ropes and trips him onto his face before pulling him outside the ring. Eddie quickly slides out of the ring as well, delivering a massive shot from the reinforced chair onto Abbott’s head. Abbott stirs about in a daze, plowing into Monroe and collapsing on top of him. Douglas Storm quietly slides back into the ring going for the pin on the conveniently unconscious Anselmo while Eddie Rowan tries to help Havok back into the ring to stop it.

Havok was just a second late in breaking up the fall as Douglas gets back to his feet, the referee holding his hand high in the air. Havok looks disappointed but nods as he gets back to his feet, clapping for the Storm Brothers. He extends his hand to Douglas who eyes it suspiciously before taking it. The men shake on the match and Havok even helps Douglas pick up and awaken Travis who is a little less eager to look at Beautiful Agony after taking a shot from Eddie Rowan.

Jared Daniels: A nice display of sportsmanship from Havok for Beautiful Agony after that hard fought battle.

William Masters: I guess Eddie’s plan backfired. His team didn’t get the win.

Jared Daniels: You don’t get it. He didn’t do it to help his team win, he did it to get back at the Cowboys after last weeks attack! And either way, the Storm Brothers get themselves a win, and maybe some much earned respect from Havok and friends.

William Masters: Bah. Respect is highly overrated as are Spanish announcers.

The Winners of the bout... THE STORM BROTHERS!!!!

TOWERS: "Ladies and gentlemen, up next is the Hatewave Queen of Combat match contract signing!"

The crowd pops

"Sweet Sacrifice" by Evanescence begins to play over the PA, as the crowd anticipate the reigning CZW Queen of Combat, Allyson Thorn. After a few moments, however, no one shows.

DANIELS: "What's this about then?"

MASTERS: "I don't know..."

DANIELS: "Wait, I'm getting something from the back... we got camera back there, cut to it!"

The scene cuts to the back. Suddenly, Sirena Starr comes crashing into view as she turns a corner and trips and falls. From behind her comes Allyson Thorn... with a LIGHT TUBE in her hand!!"

DANIELS: "Oh dear god!"

Sirena tries to crawl and get away but she's apparently already hurt. She stands up, and Allyson positions....

CRASH!!!!!

MASTERS: "HOLY HELL ALLYSON JUST SMASHED THAT LIGHT TUBE OVER THE HEAD OF SIRENA STARR!!!"

DANIELS: "So much for the contract signing, which was a formality anyway... these ladies just took this match to the next level!"

Sirena begins to bleed from her forehead, as she is knocked out. Allyson stands over her still holding the end of the light tube. Security eventually scrambles in, as some of them rush to check on Sirena while others stand in between the women. Allyson is amost frothing at the mouth, but not saying a word. She has a very violent look about her. She looks down at the light tube, looks again at Sirena, and then throws the remains of the tube down to the ground. She turns and storms off, as medical personnel make their way to Sirena to attend to her. The camera zooms in on her face, which is almost completely covered in blood now.

DANIELS: "What an attack by the current Queen of Combat... she let Sirena know this ain't no funny business!"

MASTERS: "Quit trying to be cool and do what you're supposed to do, Daniels. She punked Starr out, plain and simple. There's a REASON She's the longest reigning Queen of Combat."

Scene cuts to commercial.

** SINGLES MATCH: "The Baller" JORDAN BRYANT vs. "High Definition" CAGE STRYKER **

Towers: “This next match is scheduled for one fall, and it is a non title match.”

“The Second Coming” by Juelz Santana blares over the loudspeakers and out walks “The Baller” Jordan Bryant. He has a little more strut in his step, and almost jogs out to the ring.

Towers: “Coming out first, from New Orleans, Louisiana, Jordan “The BALLERRRRRR” Bryant!

Bryant climbs up on the ring apron, and leaps over all three ropes. He bounds up to the top turnbuckle, and raises his arms up towards the crowd, and the fans unleash a ton of boos his direction. He smirks a bit at the crowd, then hops off the turnbuckle and turns to face the entryway, waiting for his opponent.

The crowd erupts as “Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva comes up, signaling the arrival of the CZW World Television Champion.

Towers: “And his opponent, from Hollywood, California, the CZW’s Television Champion, CAAAAAAGE Stryker!”

Out walks Stryker, with the T.V. Gold around his waist. His electric smile beams out to the crowd, and then he sprints to the ring, slides in, and the bell hits.

Immediately, the two contestants lock up in a test of strength. Bryant seems to have the upper hand when Stryker nails a big boot to JB’s gut, doubling the Baller over. Cage then drops a couple huge hammers on Bryant’s back, sending Jordan to his knees. Cage then runs and comes off the ropes and NAILS a dropkick right in JB’s face, busting his lip wide open.

Cage picks up JB and whips him into the ropes, preparing for a big body slam on the return, but Bryant ducks under Cage’s grasp, flies off the back rope and slams Stryker with a cross body block. Jordan moves quickly to the fallen Cage and attempts a pin

KICKOUT

Bryant and Stryker stand up and grapple once again. Cage spins around to JB’s backside, nailing a back body drop on The Baller. Cage heads to the turnbuckle, attempting a huge elbow drop, and connects. Bryant’s lip is bleeding quite profusely now.

Stryker drags JB over to the corner, and sets Bryant up on the top turnbuckle; it looks like he’s going for the Cage Implant DDT. He attempts the move and, NO! Bryant counters! A couple quick strikes to the throat and an eye rake by JB and Stryker falls to the mat.

JB hops down and drops a couple quick knees on the fallen Stryker. JB stands Cage up, and hits a HUGE belly-to-belly suplex. He goes for the cover.

KICK OUT!

Bryant goes for a running clothesline but Cage ducks and Bryant pummels head referee Darrin Powers.

Masters: That was on purpose!

Daniels: No way, Cage moved and Powers was right there to unfortunately take the devastating blow from Bryant.

Bryant looks down at the referee in disbelief as Cage sets up in the opposite corner waiting to strike as soon as Bryant turns around. Daniels: Wait a second, out of the crowd!!

Masters: Its Michael Myers, or Alan Fiscus or whoever the HELL it is?

Daniels: He’s got to be coming after Bryant after what happened last week!

Masters: No, it looks like he is going after Cage!

Myers with his slapjack in hand sneaks up on Cage from behind and knocks him in the head as Bryant helps Powers to his feet.

Daniels: Oh my he leveled the TV champ right in the head! … Bryant knows exactly how that feels!

Myers jumps back into the crowd and disappears and Bryant and a slow to get up referee Darrin Powers turn around not knowing what has happened.

Masters: Cage is out cold!

Daniels: Yeah and look at the look on Bryant’s face! He can’t believe it!

Masters: Yeah but he has got to take advantage of this, so he gets his title shot!

Bryant looks around to the crowd, as to ask them for permission to win the match and the crowd cheers loudly. Bryant then picks up Cage and walks him over to the ropes. He sends Cage into the opposite ropes.

Daniels: Looks like Bryant is going for the Alley-oop!

Cage comes back and Bryant lifts him up and slams him down emphatically! And goes for the cover.

Daniels: Yeah but it wasn’t without controversy. Michael Myers making his presence felt again!

Bryant looking confused goes over and asks for a mic as Cage stumbles to his feet in the ring.

Bryant: Cage, what the heck happened?

Cage, grabbing the back of his head in agony points towards the video screen and the footage of Myers attacking him plays.

Bryant: Look man, I didn’t have anything to do with that stuff. Hell, that fool attacked me last week remember? Cause I sure don’t cause I had a concussion from when he whacked me in the head too!

Cage stumbles to his feet and walks up to Bryant.

The crowd is on their feet and ready to explode watching these two superstars stare each other down. Cage grabs the mic from Bryant.

Cage: Alright man, I believe you.

Bryant snatches the mic back emphatically.

Bryant: Aight, well I did win the match so I want my shot at Hatewave.

Cage looks to the crowd and the crowd begins to cheer loudly. Bryant starts pumping the crowd up even more by waving his arms around to stir them up.

Bryant: And I tell you what playa, since things ended the way they did… I will let you decide what kind of match it is!

The crowd erupts and Cage shakes his head, agreeing with Bryant’s offer.

Bryant: Aight man, well you just decide and let me know.

Bryant then extends his hand for a handshake.

Cage is reluctant and looks out to the fans who begin to cheer both of their names loudly.

The two shake hands and “Second Coming” by Juelz Santana beings to play as both men leave the ring.

The Winner of the bout... with the Alley-Oop... JORDAN BRYANT!!!

** INTERGENDER TAG TEAM MATCH: BUCK & KAREN EVANS vs. ROWAN & REGAN **

TOWERS: "This match is an INTERGENDER Tag team match, scheduled for one fall."

Most of the crowd pop.

TOWERS: "Introducing first... representing Beautiful Agony... "Rated E For Everyone" EDDIE ROWAN & TATUM REGAN!!"

"Doomsday Clock" plays as Eddie comes out with Tatum. Tatum is looking HOT, wearing a gothic-style wrestling outfit. Eddie wears the CZW X title around his waist. They high five fans on the way to the ring, posing as they enter.

TOWERS: "And their opponents... representing the Outlaws... the married couple of BUCK & KAREN EVANS!!"

"Ramblin' Man" plays as the crowd boos heavily. Both country folk come out, with Buck doing a twirl dancing move with Karen. They laugh as the fans boo them, and they ignore the fans as they walk their way down to the ring. They enter, and immediately talk trash to their opponents.

DANIELS: "This is gonna be a slobberknocker, both men are wanting to rebound from losses and Tatum wants revenge on Karen!"

MASTERS: "The Evans will win this one for sure, they're married. Eddie and Tatum are just recently introduced stablemates. The experience will be the deciding factor here."

The bell rings, and the men start it off. They circle each other, with Buck stopping and talking trash to Eddie. Buck spits at Eddie and Eddie erupts. He attacks Buck with a flurry of forearm smashes to his face, and then Eddie kicks Buck in the gut. He then kicks Buck hard in the head, knocking him down to his knees. Eddie takes off and runs to the ropes, coming back with a stiff dropkick to Buck's chest as he was standing on his knees.

DANIELS: "What impact! Buck could be done!"

MASTERS: "No, no way. That's BUCK EVANS in there, man!"

Eddie then runs to the ropes, and baseball slides right into Buck's shoulder. He turns him over and goes for the pin.

Buck picks up Eddie, and goes and tags in Karen. Bucks holds Eddie as she climbs the top rope. She leaps, and nails Eddie with a missile dropkick. He stumbles backwards hard, and to his advantage, towards his corner. He turns around and knee-walks his way over to Tatum and gives her the tag.

MASTERS: "Here we go, these girls HATE each other!"

Tatum immediately comes running at Karen, knocking her down with a shoulderblock. She yells at her to get up. Tatum runs to the ropes, and Karen turns over as Tatum leaps over her. On the rebound, Karen jumps up for a leapfrog. Karen falls to her back and puts her feet up, looking for an inverted monkey flip. Tatum stops though, stomps down on Karen's face, grabs her legs, and with all her might lifts up and slams Karen with a wheelbarrow suplex. She goes for the pin.

DANIELS: "Of course he does... he's the CZW X Champion!"

Eddie, being smart, goes for the cover again.

Tatum is pretty out of it as Karen picks her back up. Karen goes and tags in Buck. Tatum realizes this, and in desperation lunges to her corner to tag back in Eddie.

MASTERS: "Smart move by Tatum, Buck wouldn't think twice of beating on her!"

Eddie comes running in, and Buck goes for a big boot. Eddie ducks it. Buck turns around and Eddie chops him. Again. Again. He then kicks up at Buck, but Buck grabs his leg. Eddie bounces twice, balancing and then lunges up, hitting Buck in the head with an enziguri!

THWACK!

DANIELS: "The sound echoes throughout the arena, as Buck falls flat on his face!"

Eddie then goes to the top rope, much to the crowd's delight. He is on top, stalking, as Buck slowly gets up. Eddie pounces when Buck is just turning around, and nails him with a flying lariat. He then grabs Buck's legs, and locks him up in a Texas cloverleaf.

MASTERS: "You can't make Buck quit, are you dumb?"

Eddie cinches in, but Buck almost easily inches over and grabs the bottom rope. Eddie lets go. He stomps on Buck a few times, and then lifts him up. He measures him, and bounces off of the ropes. On the rebound, however, Buck nails him with a quick and fast powerslam! He has him in a pinning predictiment.

DANIELS: "Both ladies are fired up, ready to get in there and tear each other apart!"

MASTERS: "I can't wait."

Eddie makes it to Tatum just as Buck makes it to Karen! The crowd cheers as both ladies get in the ring and make a bee line for each other. They collide, throwing fists and kicks. Both Eddie and Buck are still out of it, as they both have their heads lowered onto the rope in their corners. Karen takes charge after a chop to Tatum's throat, and throws her to the ropes.

DANIELS: "Regan's on a roll! She's got Karen down on the ground... I think she's going for it, William!"

MASTERS: "I PRAY TO GOD She's going for it, Jarred!"

Tatum grabs Karen, positions her... and locks in the Long Kiss Goodnight, her version of the Argentine Leglock! Karen screams out in pain! Both men are still exhausted, and before Buck could make it back into the ring... Karen taps the ground!

DANIELS: "Eddie and Tatum win this match!"

MASTERS: "But it's not over!"

Buck gets over to Tatum and violently pushes her off of Karen. Eddie comes running in, but is met with a thundering big boot which knocks him almost out of his own boots. Buck holds his head with his right hand, as he reaches down to Karen for support. He picks her up, and they stand over the fallen X Champion and his Beautiful Agony teammate.

** KING OF COMBAT SEMI-FINALS MATCH: "The Real Deal" ROB WRIGHT vs. "The Voodoo Machine" THANATOS **

TOWERS: "This contest is the SEMI-FINALS of the King of Combat tournament!"

Crowd pops.

TOWERS: "Whoever wins this round will be War Zone's representative at HATEWAVE, facing Assault's winner. Whoever wins that match, is CZW's King of Combat!"

Crowd pops again

TOWERS: "Introducing first... hailing from Springfield, MA.... weighing in at 245 pounds... he is the Real Deal... ROB WRIGHT!!"

"Get Back" plays as Rob Wright comes out, mostly to boos. There are a few "Wright! Wright! Wright" chants from the smart mark section. He is very confident, and comes down to the ring alone. He jumps up to the ring and springboards in, pointing to himself and telling the front row that he is the best.

TOWERS: "And his opponent... hailing from the mean streets of Chicago, IL... weighing in at 285 pounds... he is the Voodoo Machine... THANATOS!!"

"This Haunted House" begins to play as the lights go out. The entrance way fills with dry ice, as Thanatos slowly creeps out into view. He makes his way to the ring, and the lights go back up." DING DING

DANIELS: "And we're set to see who will be War Zone's pick of the litter to name the 2008 CZW King of Combat!"

Rob has a hesitant look on his face, as Thanatos just stands still staring right at him from his corner. Rob begins to creep towards him, and Thanatos suddenly walks right up to him. Rob runs and ducks, as Thanatos tries a lariat. Rob then nails Thanatos with three right hand punches. He goes to the ropes, and nails a jumping forearm to Thanatos' face. He tries it again, but Thanatos grabs him in midair and squeezes with a bearhug.

DANIELS: "That's like leaping into a bear trap right there."

The ref asks Rob but this early in he's strongly disagreeing with giving up. Thanatos tries to wrench in, but Rob slaps his hands together around Thanatos' head, and he releases the hold. Thanatos stumbles back and Rob goes to the ropes again. Rob goes for a crossbody, but Thanatos catches him again. He looks out into the crowd who are extremely into this match, and he then nails Rob with a fallaway slam. Rob holds his back as Thanatos yells out into the crowd.

MASTERS: "Quite a difference in styles and body weight here, if Thanatos can keep Rob grounded he has him.. but if Rob can take to the ropes, Thanatos might be in trouble."

Thanatos turns around and goes to pick up Rob.. but Rob surprises him with an inside cradle, hoping to pull off the same trick for the second week in a row!

Thanatos picks Rob back up and chops the hell out of him. Again. He then irish whips him into a corner, very hard. He comes running in, nailing a body splash and squashing Rob. Rob takes a few steps forward and then prompty falls on his face. Thanatos then locks in a Boston crab on Wright, causing him to grimace in pain.

DANIELS: "Thanatos trying to keep the Real Deal grounded, and what better way to do it than a Boston crab."

The ref asks, but Rob refuses to give up. Rob itches and reaches, grasping the bottom rope and forcing Thanatos to release the hold. Thanatos lets go, grabs Rob's legs and drags him back into the middle of the ring. He then drops down and locks in an armbar.

MASTERS: "Thanatos is playing Rob perfectly."

Rob continues to refuse, and after a few moments Thanatos lets go, stands up, and stomps on the shoulder of the arm he was just working on a few times. He picks him up and irish whips him into a corner. He then chops him a few times before picking him up and placing him on the top turnbuckle. Thanatos tries to climb up with him, but Rob fights it. Rob knocks Thanatos off. He drops down, picks him up, and then proceeds to place HIM on the top turnbuckle. He climbs up, Thanatos trying to fight it. Rob counters with a few stiff shots to his head.

As Rob climbs up with him, Thanatos begins fighting back. He nails him hard with three stiff forearms to his back. He then grabs Rob and sits up...

** MAIN EVENT SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH: COVEY, CROW & FISCUS vs. KING, PABLO & McNEIL **

Jessica Towers: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following bout is tonight’s MAIN EVENT, and it is scheduled for one fall!”

The crowd erupts into a deafening chorus of jeers as ‘Thieves’ by Ministry begins to play over the PA. ‘The One Man Riot,’ Alan Fiscus comes out with his new valets, Stephanie and Sydney. The three walk close, Alan with his arms around the two ladies’ backs, a sadistic sneer spread across his face as he looks back at the crowd of people who voice their contempt for the man they once cheered. Immediately following them is ‘Bad Ass’ Matt Covey, regarding the mass with his trademark glare. He looks to the camera as he approaches and his glare turns into a wicked grin. He chuckles a bit as he shoves the camera back, his palm over-taking the screen for a moment. Behind them all comes Leo Crow, his head bowed, his hair hanging down in his face. He half-walks and half-staggers to the ring. ‘The Enigma’ pauses as he passes by the cameraman, looking straight at us, his eyes looking vacant and hollow. Turning away, he moves to join his partners in the ring.

Towers: “Making their way to the ring, accompanied by Sydney Vicious and Stephanie, first from Devil’s Ladder, Idaho, ‘The Enigma,’ LEO CROW!”

A loud chorus of boos for Leo.

Towers: “His partner, from ‘wherever he damn well pleases,’ ‘Bad Ass’ MATT COVEY!”

An even louder round of jeers for Covey.

Towers: “And finally, from Wichita, Kansas, ‘The One Man Riot,’ ALAN FISCUS!”

Thunderous disapproval from the crowd as Fiscus is announced.

Towers: “And they are….ANARCHY RISING!!”

The crowd continues to give heat to the members of ‘Anarchy Rising’ well after their music is over. Suddenly…

The crowd goes wild as "Line in the Sand" by Motorhead begins to play. As the song moves into the opening verse, Ronnie steps out from behind the curtain as he just stands there in his hooded vest, hood over his head, bouncing from side to side.

Evolution is a mystery
Full of change that no one sees
Clock makes a fool of history
Yesterday's too long ago
Don't agree with what I know
Tomorrow is the place to be

I see the line in the sand
Time to find out who I am
Looking back to see where I stand
Evolution
Evolution

He makes his slow walk to the ring, casually nodding to the fans that line the aisle. He slowly walks up the ring steps, and steps through the ropes. Ronnie stands on the middle rope, holding one arm above him, before stepping down, and leaning over in a corner.

See my reflection change
Nothing ever stays the same
But you know the names The Game
We all know what it means
Nothings ever what it seems
Unforgiven, unforeseen

I see the line in the sand
Time to find out who I am
Looking back to see where I stand
Evolution
Evolution

He takes the hood from off his head, then takes the vest off completely, tossing it to the floor, awaiting the beginning of the match.

Towers: “And their opponents, first, from Birmingham, Alabama, he is ‘The Franchise,’ RONNIE McNEIL!”

The fans continue to cheer loudly for ‘the Franchise.’ He keeps his distance from the other team as he enters the ring, but he does not back down from them as they taunt him.

“Writing’s on the Wall” by The Tea Party suddenly kicks in, and the crowd erupts to a fever-pitch as ‘the Five Star Gamblers’ take the stage! They make their way down to the ring hastily, proudly displaying their North American Tag-Team Championship belts, high-fiving fans on their way to the ring.

Towers: “And his partners, the North American Tag-Team Champions… El Pablo and Ace King, ‘THE FIVE STAR GAMBLERS!!”

Huge pop for Ace and Pablo as they move into the ring next to Ronnie, holding their belts high. The two teams badmouth eachother from their respective sides of the ring, but the referee is able to keep them apart, at least for the moment.

Daniels: “Main event time here on Warzone, and I’ve been looking forward to this match all week long! Ace, Pablo, and Ronnie McNeil with a chance at a little redemption against the new faction of ‘Anarchy Rising!’”

Masters: “You said it, Jarred, they have a CHANCE. Though, with a team like Fiscus, Covey, and Crow, I wouldn’t say it’s much of a chance at all!”

The teams finally get sorted in their corners, and the bell rings, Ace King starting off against Matt Covey. Ace and Matt get right into eachother’s faces, with Covey talking a lot of trash. Ace just stares back, silently. The crowd cheers loudly as Ace has apparently had enough, throwing a stiff punch right into Covey’s face!

Daniels: “Ace apparently not liking what ‘Bad Ass’ had to say there!”

King rocks Covey to the ropes with a series of punches. He sends him to the other side with an Irish whip, Ace runs at Matt, who throws a running clothesline, but King ducks under! Both men on the rebound and Ace takes Covey down with a shoulder-tackle! Ace off the ropes and Covey stands, just in time to take a clothesline from Ace! The crowd cheers loudly as Matt hits the canvas!

Daniels: “McNeil and the Gamblers off to a good start here tonight!”

Masters: “Don’t get too excited, it’s just started. And it’ll take a lot more than that to finish off Matt Covey.”

Ace pulls Covey to his feet, twisting his arm behind him with a hammerlock, before moving to his corner to tag in El Pablo. The crowd pops for EP as he hops into the ring, kicking Covey right into the ribs. Pablo hammers on Covey, moving him into a neutral corner before whipping him across to the far turnbuckle, charging in! Covey counters with a boot to the mouth, much to the crowd’s disapproval!

Masters: “Excellent counter there from ‘Bad Ass’!”

Covey wastes no time capitalizing, yanking EP back into the corner and wrapping his hand tightly around his throat, choking him! The referee tries to get Covey to break the hold, and he does, but he glares at the referee, taking a couple steps toward him, causing the smaller man to scurry away in fear! Covey snickers at the referee’s cowardice and turns his attention back to Pablo. EP is waiting and he leans back into the corner, jumping up and hooking his ankles around Covey’s head, pushing out of the corner and taking Matt down with a headsicssor takedown! Pablo looks to capitalize with a running attack, but as he hits the ropes, Sydney grabs his ankle! He stops and turns and Covey seizes the opportunity to throw a knee into his exposed back!

Daniels: “And there’s the numbers game coming into play! Fiscus’ new valets involving themselves already!”

Masters: “Don’t blame Pablo’s clumsiness on them!”

Daniels: “Would you actually WATCH the match for once, please?”

Ronnie hops down and chases Syd away, but the damage has been done. Covey with some stiff shots to the back of Pablo before throwing him into his corner. He suddenly dashes over to Ace and sucker-punches him! Ace tries to get in, but the referee stops him, holding him back! On the other side, Crow climbs in and he and Covey stomp away at Pablo as Fiscus holds him in place with a choke, all behind the referee’s back! The crowd boos loudly at their underhandedness!

Masters: “There’s the brilliant strategy of Covey and co.!”

Daniels: “You call it strategy; I call it ‘cheating’!”

‘The Enigma’ now in the ring, and he pulls EP from the corner, taking him down with a snapmare. Crow hits the ropes quickly and drops down with a high-impact kneedrop to EP’s head! He rolls him over and sets him up for a camel-clutch! He locks it in!

Daniels: “The Five Star Superstar’ is in trouble here!”

Masters: “Yes, and-hey, would you look at that!?”

The camera shows the upper levels of the arena, an area normally restricted to the arena personnel. Lurking in the shadows is a man, clad in baggy cover-alls and a Michael Meyers mask!

Daniels: “WHAT? But Fiscus is right there in front of us!”

Masters: “He SAID it wasn’t him! There must be someone else using the disguise now!”

Meyers lurks about ominously before disappearing down a hallway.

Daniels: “I certainly hope he stays uninvolved in this match…”

Meanwhile, Crow still has the camel-clutch locked in. Ace and Ronnie cheer on their partner from the corner, as Pablo crawls, reaching for the ropes…and finally, he grabs them! The crowd cheers loudly as Pablo makes it to the ropes, but quickly their reaction switches to jeers as Crow refuses to relinquish the hold! Finally he does, and he motions to the ladies at ringside. Steph slides a chair into the ring! Crow picks it up and unfolds it, setting it in the middle of the ring!

Masters: “I think we all know what’s on ‘the Enigma’s’ mind here!”

Leo pulls Pablo to his feet and attempts to whip him into the ropes, but Pablo reverses! Sit-out jawbreaker! The crowd goes wild as EP takes a second to get his bearings. He notices the chair, see’s Crow on the ground and runs! He springs off the chair and onto the top rope, going for the triple-jump moonsault! As he makes it to the top rope, however, Fiscus rushes him, throwing a clothesline that catches EP in the back of the knee! He crashes to the mat and the crowd gives Alan a ton of heat!

Daniels: “A cheap but clever move from the former Warzone General Manager!”

El Pablo slow to make it to his feet and Crow takes advantage, sizing him up and hitting a standing drop-toe hold! El Pablo’s face hits the chair with a loud SMACK!

Daniels: “Oh, my! What impact!”

Crow up and he looks at El Pablo, who is writhing in pain on the mat. He laughs hysterically at him a moment, before smacking himself in the head a couple times. Pablo begins crawling to his corner where Ronnie and Ace are reaching as far as possible for the tag, but Crow grabs EP’s ankle and hauls him back to his corner, tagging in ‘the One Man Riot.’ Fiscus gets a ton of heat as he enters the ring, taking Pablo’s leg from Leo. He slams Pablo’s kneed to the mat and locks his leg with his own, glaring out at the crowd before a maniacal grin spreads across his face, and he falls back with the Indian Deathlock!

Masters: “Fiscus showing his smarts by going after the high-flying ‘Five Star Superstar’s’ leg! He can’t zip around the ring with one bad wheel!”

Alan up now, and he puts the boots to El Pablo, stomping away at his leg, then giving him a swift kick to the ribs for good measure! He lifts a now hobbling EP to his feet and loads him up for a powerbomb! He mocks Ronnie and Ace before butterflying EP’s arms…Tiger Driver! Fiscus with the pin!

Pablo kicks out! The crowd cheers him on, as do his partners!

Daniels: “El Pablo is still in this one!”

Masters: “Yeah, but for how long?”

Fiscus is up and he wastes no time going back onto the attack. He takes EP down with a snap spinning-neckbreaker! He gets back to his feet and looks to the chair. He smiles evilly and makes for the weapon, folding it back up and raising it high into the air! Pablo pulling himself up in the corner now, looking like a wounded animal!

Daniels: “Fiscus has evil intentions with that chair, you just know it!”

Masters: “Fiscus ALWAYS has evil intentions!”

Alan moves in for the kill, swinging the chair at Pablo’s head! Pablo ducks! The chair smacks the top turnbuckle instead, and EP with a quick move, nailing Alan with an enziguri! Alan’s head crashes forward into his own chair!! The crowd goes nuts!!

Daniels: “Amazing counter from El Pablo!! Both men are down!”

Masters: “Get up, Alan!”

Pablo crawling to his corner, McNeil and Ace with arms outstretched chomping at the bit as they wait for the tag! Fiscus pulling himself up with the ropes, he see’s EP and makes an attempt to cut him off! Pablo dives, tags in Ace King!! The crowd goes ballistic, and so does Ace! He drops Fiscus with a stiff right hand! Alan pops back up and Ace levels him with another! Once again Alan up and Ace whips him into the near turnbuckle! He throws a series of quick knife-edge chops to the former GM’s chest!

Daniels: “Ace is a house of fire right now!”

Covey makes a run at Ace along the apron with a hard right hand, but Ace blocks and decks ‘Bad Ass’ knocking him off the apron! Covey moving to his feet, but gets BLINDSIDED by Ronnie! Scissors kick on the outside!

Masters: “What a cheap shot from McNeil!”

Ronnie moves back to his corner as Ace slams Alan’s face to the turnbuckle! He wraps his arms around Fiscus’ wait and hits a bridging German suplex! Pin!

Leo Crow slams the chair down onto the back of Ace! Ace rolls off in agony! EP up now, and Crow drops him down with a stiff shot to the head!

Daniels: “Leo Crow eliminating the competition with that chair!”

Masters: “That’s right, and he’s about to seal the deal for his team right here!”

Crow tosses the chair to the floor, shoving the referee aside as he tries to force Leo out. He picks up Ace, locking in an inverted facelock, moving him over the steel chair!

Daniels: “No! Plague of Crows! PLAGUE OF CROWS!!”

Leo drills Ace into the chair with the inverted DDT as the crowd boos and even throw a few things! Leo just sits up, his hands folded in his lap as he looks at a prone Ace King, much like one would an interesting piece of art. Fiscus is up now, in his corner, and he tags in Covey who just made it back to their corner. Ace trying to stand, but he is quite dazed. Covey lets him have it, unloading on him with stiff right hands, beating him back to the ground! The crowd boos and Covey screams at them.

Covey: “BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!!”

This generates even MORE heat, and ‘Bad Ass’ just laughs. He goes to pick Ace up, but Ace throws an uppercut…right to the groin!! Covey is caught completely off-guard, and the crowd loves it! Matt falls to his knees!

Masters: “You don’t call THAT cheating, Jarred!?”

Daniels: “I call that payback!”

Ace slowly making his way to the corner, the crowd urging him on! Finally he makes the tag to McNeil! Ronnie is in and he is on fire!

Daniels: “’The Franchise’ finally gets the tag! Look out!!”

Covey is up, but McNeil nails him with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex! He turns as Fiscus rushes in, countering a clothesline into a full-nelson, and slamming him down!! The crowd goes ballistic for Ronnie McNeil! Leo Crow now in, but Ronnie catches him with a punch, and another! He rocks Crow against the ropes and picks him up in a fireman’s carry… DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! McNeil to his feet and he is basking in the crowd’s cheers! Pablo comes in to help Ronnie out! McNeil with a companionable pat to EP’s shoulder…

FLAWLESS!!!!

Masters: “YESSS!!”

Daniels: “What the HELL!? McNeil just dropped his own partner with that cutter!!!”

The crowd is stunned, completely! McNeil grabs Ace who is just now getting to his feet… FALL FROM GRACE! Spinning reverse STO!! McNeil looks around at all other five men as they lay on the mat. He grins smugly and poses to the crowd, gaining a bit of heat, but also some fans that have enjoyed what he’s just done! Ronnie then hits the mat and rolls out, making his way to the back!

Daniels: “What, is he just going to leave!?”

Masters: “Looks like a loud statement has been made here by ‘The Franchise,’ Ronnie McNeil!”

Daniels: “Yes, but WHY!?”

Back in the ring, Alan Fiscus makes his way to his feet. He looks somewhat confused as to what has just happened, but he also sees that his opponents are down. He moves to the top rope, chair in hand…

Daniels: “Oh, no…what is he doing!?”

Masters: “YEAH! He’s about to win this match is what he’s about to do!”

Daniels: “But….OH NO!”

Masters: “STD!!”

Alan Fiscus flies with the Sick and Twisted Dive, his Shooting Star Press, crashing onto Ace with the chair!! The crowd boos furiously, with a few scattered ‘HOLY SHIT!’ and ‘CZW!’ chants! Fiscus makes the cover. The referee is at a loss of what to do, but Covey is up, shoving the ref down and ordering him to make the count!

The bell rings, and Jessica Towers announces the winners.

Towers: “Ladies and gentlemen, your winners of the match, ‘Bad Ass’ Matt Covey, Leo Crow, and Alan Fiscus… ‘ANARCHY RISING!’”

More boos from the crowd, which suddenly turn to cheers as El Pablo gets to his feet, chair in hand! He cracks it over the back of Covey’s head, hitting him again across the back as he falls to his knees! Fiscus is up, but Pablo swings for the fences!

CRACK!

Down goes Fiscus!

Daniels: “Pablo has snapped!”

Masters: “Totally uncalled for!!”

Daniels: “Uncalled for!?”

Leo Crow now in, EP jabs him into the ribs with the chair before throwing it down! PABLO SLAM ONTO THE CHAIR!!! The crowd goes mental!!!

Crowd: “E-P! E-P! E-P!”

Covey back up, but Pablo reacts first, NAILING Covey with an enziguri! As he falls, Ace catches Matt… THE ALL IN!!!

Masters: “Someone stop the Gamblers!!”

Daniels: “Well…OH NO! LOOK OUT!”

Rushing the ring from the back, Matt’s cousin Mikkel and his wife Borgia come to aid their family member! EP turns in time to cut the man off, but he throws up a boot, catching Pablo right in the face! He then moves to Ace, stomping him, breaking the All-In. Fiscus is up and he slides over to Ace, pummeling him on the ground! Borgia also begins getting her kicks in!

Daniels: “This is awful! And with McNeil turning on the Gamblers, they have NO help here!”

Masters: “Yeah, too bad Waters and Blaze are on Assault, or they could be out here getting the beatdown of their lives, too! Uh-oh, look out!”

Pablo makes it to his feet, but Mikkel is waiting! He snares EP by the face, locking in a massive vice-grip on the head of ‘the Five Star Superstar’! He forces Pablo down, holding the hold locked in as Matt Covey, Borgia, and Alan all stomp away at Ace! Leo Crow merely sits in the corner, huddled in the corner, his hair in his face. He’s either laughing or sobbing, but it’s impossible to tell.

Daniels: “The Five Star Gamblers have been absolutely destroyed in this assault! They can’t compete with these kinds of odds!!”

Masters: “That’s what they get for crossing these guys! They should’ve just taken their loss like me, and spared themselves this further embarrassment!”

Daniels: “Damnit, SOMEONE has to stand up to these guys!”

Mikkel throws Pablo down, and the others finally leave Ace to lie in a broken heap, Matt Covey taking one last kick to Ace’s back. The mob all line up, facing the camera, each with a sadistic smile on their face. They all raise their arms up as ‘Thieves’ by Ministry begins to play.

The Winners of the bout... ANARCHY RISING!!!
