**Inside the NMW Arena, fans are packing in, as usual, and getting into their seats. The camera cuts to backstage, where the MilleniTron shows a split-screen view, with Zack Macomber arriving on one side, and Gravedigger arriving on the other. Zack carries his gym bag into his locker room and sits down, as Gravedigger walks into his locker room, turns off the lights, and shuts the door. "Violent Reaction" by American Head Charge hits the speakers, and the view cuts back to the main part of the arena, where the newly-cleaned NMW ring shines like a bald math teacher's head. The jumping fans struggle to get their highly creative signs into the view of the camera as it spins through the crowd:

"MOW SH, PWF, SEW…It doesn't matter; they're all SOL."

"Tank is big."

"I want a lollipop of mediocrity."

"Is Gravedigger face or heel?"

"The Real Thing will confess to Jason Moore."

"NMW rules!"

The last fan leaps up and down as he gets his camera time, until a large homeless security guard rips the sign from his hands. He then gives the fans a sign that reads "X-Pac sucks." The fan shrugs and continues basking in his moment of fame. The camera then turns to show the gleaming, Zestfully-clean faces of Tyler Fredericks and Brian Erikson.**

MATCH 1. TANK VS. THE KNIFE VS. MELVIN FROST (#1 CONTENDER TO NORTH AMERICAN TITLE)

MATCH 2. JACKSON KING VS. JASON MOORE* (NORTH AMERICAN TITLE)

**"Just Got Wicked" by Cold hits, and the fans burst into a melody of boos, as the sometimes normal, sometimes insane President Winters makes his way to the ring, microphone in hand. He steps in, and looks into the crowd with a stupid grin on his face.**

**The crowd pops.**

**The crowd makes no reaction.**

**The crowd pops.**

**A few dorky-looking fans raise their hands and let out a feeble cheer, but other than that, the arena is silent.**

**The MilleniTron lights up to show an image.**

**The crowd pops loudly at the sight of the MilleniTron. Winters blushes and smiles a bit.**

**The MilleniTron flashes and pops back on with a different picture this time. The crowd lets out a large "OOOOOO".**

**The crowd pops at the notion of a fight to the death.**

**The crowd pops.**

**"Just Got Wicked" hits again, the President makes his way backstage, as the crowd buzzes with excitement over the huge PPV main event.**

**Fredericks elbows Erikson.**

**The Knife is shown walking into the NMW Arena, already dressed in his wrestling attire. He greets several homeless security guards, and makes his way through the lobby. He passes several locker room doors, and comes to one marked Melvin Frost. He sets his bag down, and looks at the door for a moment. He slowly turns the knob, which opens quite easily. Knife looks into the room, and sees nothing but darkness. Knife steps into the room very carefully, and turns on the light switch. The room is quite empty. Melvin's bags are sitting off in the corner, but other than that, there is nothing…except for a piece of paper lying on the floor near the door. Knife bends over and picks it up, as the camera pans over his shoulder to see the note. Knife reads it aloud.**

**CRASH! Knife is instantly smashed from behind with a steel chair from Melvin Frost! Melvin steps into the room, and begins slamming the chair onto Knife's body. Melvin then steps onto his body, and looks down at him.**

**Melvin slams the chair onto Knife one last time, and then leaves the room.**

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

**Jason Moore and the Mexican Resistance are in their locker room. Jason is sitting on a couch by himself, with the North American title laying over the top of the couch next to him. He appears to be deep in thought…when Maurice chimes in.**

**Moore sits quietly, staring off into space.**

**Moore continues looking off into the distance, focusing on some target that isn't there.**

**With that, Maurice slaps Moore on the shoulder, snapping Jason out of his trance…but the champ doesn't seem very pleased.**

**Moore goes back to trying to focus, as Maurice hangs his head in shame. Just then, Pablo and Enrique peek their heads around the corner of the door, listening to what's going on inside.**

**Again, Moore's concentration is broken.**

**Maurice hangs his head again, and walks out of the room…where he is stopped by Pablo and Enrique. They begin talking to him with anger on their faces, and Maurice too quickly gets a look of anger on his face. The three men shake hands and walk off down the hall, as Moore continues to prepare for his match.**

**Cazz Selmer is arriving at the arena, and he walks into his locker room. He pulls out some money, and heads out to get a soda. On his way out, Morbid Angel runs into him. Aikeiro is behind Morbid Angel, and the two men stare at Cazz.**

**Desyre and President Winters are in his office, apparently working on some wrestling moves once again. The President applies a hammerlock, and pulls Desyre close to him.**

**Desyre twirls under Winter's arm, and goes to lock on a hammerlock of her own, when the President falls "accidentally", and Desyre is pulled down on top of him. She looks at the sly Prez and smiles.**

**"Waiting to Die" by (hed)PE blasts throughout the arena as Akeiro and Morbid Angel step out onto the stage to a chorus of boos. Akeiro and Morbid ignore the crowd and walk cockily down to the ring and slide in.**

Inside the ring, the referee makes Akeiro wait on the outside of the ring as Morbid and Selmer circle each other. The two men lock horns, with Cazz getting the better and locking Angel in a hammerlock. Morbid easily reverses the hold, but Selmer brings him over with a snapmare. Cazz taunts Angel, begging him to get up. As soon as Angel gets to his feet, he's taken back down with a clothesline from Selmer. Angel gets up and hurriedly tags in Akeiro. Morbid and Akeiro run at Cazz with a double clothesline, but Cazz ducks and dropkicks Akeiro, sending him to the outside. Cazz and Morbid exchange punches until Angel gets the advantage. Angel whips Cazz, but Cazz reverses the whip and powerslams Angel on the return.

Akeiro silently slides back in the ring and drops Selmer with a spinning roundhouse to the temple. Akeiro begins to go to work with a variety of martial arts style kicks to the back and head of Cazz. Akeiro picks up Cazz and tags in Morbid, who climbs the turnbuckle. Akeiro whips Cazz into the ropes and tries to hit him with a high leg clothesline on the way back, but Cazz ducks and runs into the other ropes, racking Morbid Angel as a loud "OH" can be heard throughout the arena.

Cazz comes back at Akeiro as Akeiro attempts a clothesline, but Selmer reverses it into an armbar takedown! Akeiro screams in pain as he struggles toward the ropes. Morbid regains composure on the turnbuckle and leaps off with a guillotine leg drop! Selmer sees him coming, and moves out of the way, causing Angel to leg drop Akeiro's arm!!

Cazz gets up and begins exchanging punches with Morbid Angel. Angel whips Cazz into the ropes, and clotheslines him down. Angel picks Cazz up and whips him again, and this time he misses a clothesline. Cazz springs off the ropes, comes back, and grabs Angel's arm from behind, bulldogging it down! Angel holds his arm in pain, as Cazz pulls him back up. Aikeiro then spins Cazz around, and nails him with an uppercut! Cazz stumbles backwards, bumping into Angel and accidentally hitting him in the groin. Angel falls to his knees in pain, as Aikeiro punches Cazz again, causing him to fall to his knees in front of Morbid Angel. Aikeiro takes a step back, and goes for a large kick to the head of Cazz, but Cazz drops stomach-first to the mat, causing Aikeiro to connect with Morbid Angel's head! Angel collapses onto the mat, as Aikeiro reaches down and tries to wake him up.

Aikeiro attempts to pull Morbid Angel up, but he is obviously unconscious. Aikeiro quickly turn around, and sees Cazz getting up. Aikeiro goes for a huge roundhouse kick, but Cazz ducks underneath it and sneaks behind Aikeiro. Aikeiro spins around again, as Cazz charges at him and locks on a Rushing Armbar!!

Inside in the ring, Akeiro and Morbid have finally recovered and gotten to their feet, and are busy exchanging words. Morbid Angel is heard yelling something about "Aikeiro losing the match", and Aikeiro gets very angry at this. The words eventually turn into shoves…until one shove causes Akeiro to sidekick Morbid in the head. Soon the Tides of Darkness run to the ring and breaks up the two. Akeiro breaks lose of Katuul's hold and walks up the ramp as "Waiting to Die" by (hed) PE hits again.**

**Crazy Joker walks off as the camera fades on Triple J's bloody face.**

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

**"Wonderboy" by Tenacious D begins to play as "The Real Thing" Jackson King appears on the stage. He holds his Extreme Title, and elevates it above his head. After a few moments he walks down the ramp and slides in, handing the Extreme Title to the referee.**

**"Confession" by Cold strikes up as Jason Moore appears on the stageway. He keeps his North American title belt close to him as he makes his way down the ramp. He slides into the ring and eyes up King. He gives the NA belt to the referee and he holds them both high into the air, signaling for the bell.**

The referee attempts to get out of the ring, but King runs by him and snatches the Extreme belt. Jason Moore, looking for his own weapon, reaches for the ref and his North American belt. But before he can reach it King gives him a swift kick, raising his belt into the air, he slams it down on the back of Moore. Moore quickly tries to pop back up, but King slaps him with the belt strap! The sound echoes through the arena with the "oh" sound from the audience. Moore keeps trying to get back up, as King whips him again, and again, and again. King laughs to himself and throws the belt aside, but as he does this Moore quickly gets up on his knees and lowblows King!

King falls to his knees and holds his groin as Moore grabs the belt used in his whipping. He makes a windup, swings, but it is caught just inches in front of his face by King! He stands up as Moore stares in disbelief. Moore tries to retaliate with a clothesline from his other arm, but King ducks it and wraps his arm around Moore’s head, dropping him in a reverse DDT! King quickly goes for the pin….1….2.. Kickout! Moore slowly rolls over to show that he had received the DDT onto the Extreme belt, and he holds his head in pain as King steps out of the ring. The referee begins his counting as King begins to fish under the ring….1…..2….. King pulls out a trash can and throws it into the ring…3….4……5…. King finds a chair and holds it up in the air, receiving the crowds praise.

King puts down the ring apron and hops onto the apron. He takes a look up in time to see the trash can get smacked across his face! King teeters on the edge, holding onto the ropes. Moore takes the chair that King was holding and he brings it over his head. Moore gets ready to bring the chair down, as King grabs Moore’s head and yanks down aswell! King falls back as the chair bounces off of the top rope and smashes into Jason Moore’s head! Jason instantly flies back as a bit of blood can be seen dripping from his forehead.

King jumps back down on the floor and grabs the trash can. He then slides back into the ring and places it over Jason Moore’s head. King then grabs the chair and proceeds to climb the turnbuckle. He reaches the top and turns to see Jason Moore lying there. King holds the chair above his head and gets ready to jump when Aikeiro grabs him by the back of the head and bulldogs him onto the trash can on top of Moore! Aikeiro rolls back out of the ring as King and Moore lay there next to each other, both bloodied on the head.

The ref begins to count…1……..2…..3……4……5…. King begins to roll around a bit……6….. He slowly creeps to Moore….7……8…..He pins…..1….2….. Kickout! King can’t believe it as he stares at the referee. He begins to get up, pulling Moore up with him. He whips Moore into the ropes as Aikeiro jumps onto the apron behind King, with a chair in hand. When Moore comes back is when Aikeiro swings the chair, but King ducks, allowing Aikeiro to smoke Jason Moore with the chair! Aikeiro hops back off of the apron cursing in his Korean little ways as King goes for the pin again!….1…….2……Kickout! King rolls out of the ring and lands on the ground as Aikeiro slowly makes his way around the ring, but when Aikeiro gets there King jumps in the air and shatters a glass bottle in his face!

King kicks Aikeiro several times before reaching under the ring, and pulling out a table! He slides the table into the ring and quickly follows into the ring. He begins to set it up in the ring as Moore comes up behind him, clutching the Extreme Title, he takes a huge windup, and cracks it over the back of the head of King! Jackson King falls onto the table and sits there. Moore pulls King off of the table and puts him into a headlock. Moore tightens his grasp as King fumbles around for something to hit him with. Finally King grabs onto the back of Moore’s leg, with the other he grabs Moore’s neck. He lifts him into the air wit Moore on his shoulders and jumps in the air, landing on his knees as Moore lets out a scream of pain!

King holds on as Moore screams again. Jackson King manages to get back to his feet and he jumps into the air again, landing on his knees again! King pulls back on Moore’s legs again like a bow as Moore howls again. Finally King releases the hold and Moore falls to the mat, holding his back in pain. Moore tries to get to his feet, but King just rolls around him and rolls him up for the pin…..1……2….. Kickout! The Real Thing picks up Jason Moore by the hair and drags him over to the turnbuckle near the still set up table. He puts Moore up on the turnbuckle and sets him up for what seems to be a back suplex, when Jason elbows King in the face! Aikeiro slides into the ring with a chair as King wobbles a bit, but holds on as Moore stands up, Jason leaps off the turnbuckle, grabs King’s head and pulls his neck down on the top rope! King is stunned and pops back up off the ropes, he turns around and gets completely laid out by the steel-chair-armed Aikeiro! Jason Moore quickly slides into the ring as Aikeiro exits. Jason goes for the pin…..1…….2…… Kickout!

Jason Moore slaps the mat in anger as he glares at the referee. He takes a look down at King, then at the referee, Jason reaches down and grabs the chair. The crowd begins to roar behind Jason Moore as he continuously bashes the chair over the back of Jackson King. Jason goes for the pin again……1……2…. Kickout! Jason glares again at the referee as he picks up King, he locks his arms and pulls him back for the Confession only on the mat rather than the turnbuckle! Jason lifts him up in the air, and plants King onto the chair! Jason Moore then rolls over and makes the pin…..1……..2……… Kickout!

Jason Moore gets up and stands over the referee, he shoves the ref, but the ref comes back and shoves him! Jason Moore begins to laugh to himself as the crowd begins to boo for the unruly ref. Jason Moore reaches down and grabs the chair, he turns and smokes the referee! Jason slides the chair under the table and raises his arms, receiving the crowd’s praises. He picks up King by the hair again and drags him to the turnbuckle.

Moore pulls King up to the turnbuckle and locks his arms for the Confession again! King gets locked on as Moore begins to turn, but King thrusts himself up and plants Jason Moore through the table and chair with an Impaler!!! The referee begins to come to slowly as King goes for the pin…

1…………..……….…..2……………………..Aikeiro pulls the referee out of the ring! Aikeiro gets ready to land a swift kick across the face of the ref, but the ref manages to call for the bell!

Suddenly, Buddy the Clown leaps the barricade and slides into the ring. He picks up Jackson King and kicks him the gut, King drops down and Buddy lifts him into the air, bringing him down into the Psychopathic Slam! (Sitout powerbomb/pin) Buddy waves to the back as another referee comes running down the ramp, he slides into the ring for the pin…1…..2….. Kickout!

Buddy gets ready to perform his finisher again, but before he can pick him up, King low blows him and slides out of the ring! King makes his way down the ramp with Aikeiro slowly following as "Wonderboy" begins to play again!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The camera cuts to show King getting thrown up against a garage door. He bounces off and right into the awaiting arms of Buddy the Clown, who drops him with a full nelson slam! King lays there unmoving, when the camera pans up to show Aikeiro on top of a Pepsi truck! The camera zooms in to show a chair in his hand, he raises it high into the air and screams. Aikeiro leaps off and does a flip in mid air, landing a viscous Korean Facebuster! (Flipping leg drop with a chair) The rest of King’s body lifts up into the air as Aikeiro holds on for the pin, a referee comes running out of a nearby room…1……2…. Out of no where Chang Mustafa appears with a fire extinguisher and hoses Aikeiro! Aikeiro flies off of King and backs up as him and Buddy take a look at the situation.

Buddy lifts a nearby chair and chucks it at Chang, which knocks the extinguisher out of his hands. Chang rushes at Buddy, but is laid out with a huge boot to his face! Buddy gets down to pin King…1…..2… Kickout! Buddy and Aikeiro stare at each other again and then begin to stomp and punch the downed Chang and Buddy! Suddenly the garage door slowly begins to open as Buddy and Aikeiro remain focused on their downed opponents. A forklift comes careening out of the garage and runs into Aikeiro! Aikeiro’s force knocks into Buddy, downing the two men! The camera focuses around the cockpit of the forklift….

Cliff steps out of the forklift and grabs a chair, he takes it over to Aikeiro and begins to smash it over his head! As if on cue, Morbid Angel and the Tides of Darkness appear! They surround Cliff, who still has the lone chair…

Cliff looks around at his new enemies. Morbid Angel dashes at him, but he levels him with a chair, Kaltuul goes next, but Cliff is caught off guard and he nails Cliff with a hard clothesline, knocking the chair from his grasp! Kaltuul and Belthazar pick up Cliff and set him up for a double powerbomb when Chang comes flying in the air with dropkick that knocks Belthazar back! Kaltuul swings a punch, but Chang grabs his arm and flips him onto the ground! Chang begins to build up some momentum when Aikeiro comes across with a superkick! The camera cuts quickly to show Morbid Angel pinning the still unconscious Jackson King….1……2……..3!

The referee raises the hand of Morbid Angel as Aikeiro steps up and glares at him. Morbid Angel turns around, then turns again with a huge smile on his face when Aikeiro unleashes a superkick on him! The Tides of Darkness look at both men, then, as if reacting on instinct, rush at Aikeiro! Aikeiro dodges one clothesline, but doesn’t dodge the other as the Tides manhandle him! Buddy gets up and he joins Aikeiro in battling the Tides as they spill out through the garage. Cliff picks up King by the arm and begins to drag him over to Morbid Angel. But Angel starts to get up behind Cliff. He taps Cliff on the shoulder, and as he turns he swings a punch at him. But Cliff catches the punch, grabs Morbid Angel under the arms… Over the Edge onto a chair! (Sky High into an X-Factor) Cliff puts King’s arm over Angel, the ref shrugs and gets down….1…….2…….3!

**King is lifted up by the ref, and he is handed the Extreme title. The Tides of Darkness quickly glare at him, as he sees them out of the corner of his eye. King quickly takes off running down the hallway as the scene fades.**

**The camera fades in, to show a close-up of Chang Mustafa's face, which shows him out of breath from the recent rumble.**

**Chang takes the ice off of his knee, as the camera starts to fade.**

**Chang raises his hands and does the thumb pointy thing.**

**The scene fades as Chang gets up and leaves the room.**

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

**"The Real Thing" Jackson King is walking around backstage, finally free from all Extreme title leeches. He is walking carefully, looking around every turn, making sure that no one is waiting to attack him. Just then, Cazz Selmer comes walking by. Selmer sees King and stops for a moment. King readies himself for a fight.**

**King taps on the Extreme title.**

**Cazz and King shake hands.**

**Cazz shrugs as the two men shake again, and go their separate ways. King continues to be weary of any would-be attackers, as they each head back to their locker rooms.**

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

**President Winters and Desyre are still sitting back in his locker room, only now they are both relaxing and watching "Mad Max and the Thunderdome".**

**Winters gets up and scurries out of the room. Desyre continues sitting and watching the movie…when Tank bursts into the room, apparently angry.**

**Tank stares at Desyre, and begins walking closer to her.**

**Tank reaches over the desk and grabs Desyre by the throat. Her face is quickly overcome with fright, as Tank pulls her over the desk.**

**Desyre struggles to get away from Tank, but he holds her neck tightly. Just then, Winters walks back in.**

**Tank glares at Desyre, before leaving the room. Winters wraps his arms around Desyre as she starts coughing, and a tear rolls down her cheek.**

**Winters just smiles stupidly and stares blankly off into space, as Desyre stares at him in confusion. The scene fades.**

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

**"Bodies" by Drowning Pool hits first, and the crowd emits a few cheers as Chang Mustafa walks onto the stage. He trips and falls flat on his face, but quickly gets up, gathers himself, and walks down to the ring, snagging even more cheers from the crowd. Chang steps up onto the apron, then turns and waits for his partners.**

**"Synthetic" by Spineshank hits, and the newly reinstated Zack Macomber walks onto the stage to a huge pop from the crowd. He marches down the ramp way, slapping the hands of some fans on the way down. He climbs onto the apron and steps into the ring, and Chang follows him in. Zack and Chang have a staredown for a moment…then shake hands.**

**With that, "Blackened" by Metallica hits, and the fans emit a mixed reaction, though it seems the majority are booing. Gravedigger pays them no heed as he stomps his way down the ramp, and climbs into the ring emotionlessly. Gravedigger doesn't even look at Zack and Chang as he stands in the corner opposite to them, and waits.**

**"Breathe" by Nickelback hits, and the crowd's mixed reaction immediately turns to a reaction of hatred…hatred towards Thresh Crest and the Tides of Darkness. Each man steps out wearing his respective belt, and they taunt the crowd as they walk down the ramp. Referee Matt Springfield pushes Zack, Chang, and Gravedigger to one side of the ring, as Thresh and the Tides slide in, and prepare to fight. The ref checks all three men for hidden weapons, then commands two of them to step out onto the apron. The Tides take a backseat to Thresh, and step onto the apron. Zack Macomber then steps up to start the match…but he is pulled back by Gravedigger, who steps in front of him, ready to start the match himself. Zack begins to retaliate, but is held back by Chang, and they reluctantly step out onto the apron as Gravedigger stares at Thresh. The bell rings.**

Gravedigger goes right after Thresh, and the two men lock up in a strong grapple. After jocking for position for a moment, Gravedigger is able to push Thresh into the turnbuckle, where he begins pummeling him with right and left jabs. Gravedigger then whips Thresh towards the opposite turnbuckle, and then charges…but Thresh gets a boot up, hitting Gravedigger in the face. Thresh charges, but gets smoked by a large clothesline from the Unholy One. The crowd pops as Thresh is knocked down, and the Tides of Darkness start calling for him to tag. Gravedigger pulls Thresh to his feet, as Zack begs for a tag, but Gravedigger ignores him. Gravedigger rocks Thresh with another right hand, then whips him off the ropes, but Thresh reverses the whip. Gravedigger bounces back and ducks a Crest clothesline. He bounces off the ropes again, but this time he is tripped up by Kaltuul. Gravedigger quickly gets back up, and knocks Kaltuul off the apron with a haymaker, then does the same to Belthazar! Gravedigger then turns around…and is slammed with a high knee from Thresh! The NMW Champ pulls Gravedigger back to his feet, and whips him off the ropes. Gravedigger bounces off the ropes, and as he does, Zack Macomber makes the tag in!

Zack climbs into the ring, as Gravedigger stops on a dime, and spins to look at Zack in anger. Thresh takes advantage and tries to hit Gravedigger from behind, but the Unholy One ducks, and Thresh nails Zack! The ref then makes Gravedigger get out of the ring, as Thresh begins pummeling Zack. Thresh whips him, but Macomber reverses…Crest, however, hangs onto Zack's arm, and pulls him into a short-arm clothesline! Thresh then lifts up Zack, pulls him to Anarchy's corner, and tags in Belthazar. Belthazar kicks Zack in the gut, then follows with an uppercut. Zack then quickly explodes with a series of right hands, getting the crowd fired up. Zack hooks up Belthazar, and hits a Vertical Zackieplex. Macomber then pulls the Tag champ up, and whips him, but Belthazar reverses it, sending Zack into the ropes…and right into the knee of Kaltuul!

Zack rebounds, holding his back in pain, and Belthazar scoops him up and slams him down. Belthazar follows with a leg drop and a quick pin……………1……………2………Kickout. Belthazar drives a knee into the back of Zack's neck, then pulls him up and tags in Kaltuul. The Tides both whip Zack into the ropes…but Zack come back with a double clothesline…which the Tides ducks. Zack bounces off the ropes again…and flies right into a Double Flapjack from the Tides of Darkness. Macomber comes down face-first hard on the mat.

Belthazar then leaves the ring, as Kaltuul pulls Zack back up. Kaltuul pushes Zack into the turnbuckle, and begins stomping into his midsection. Kaltuul then begins choking Zack with his boot, before stepping back and taunting the crowd. Kaltuul turns his back on Zack, and when he turns around, Macomber explodes out of the corner, only to be dropped by a quick drop toe hold from Kaltuul. Kaltuul then rolls over and locks on an STF, stretching Zack's neck backwards. Zack struggles to reach for the ropes, as the ref checks him. Thresh spits on Zack, causing Chang to get pissed and try to get into the ring. Referee Matt Springfield attempts to hold Chang back…when Belthazar gets into the ring…and dropkicks Zack in the face while he is still locked in the STF. Belthazar quickly leaves the ring, as the ref turns around again. Kaltuul rolls Zack over and covers him…………….1………………..2……………….Kickout. Belthazar slaps the turnbuckle in frustration, as Kaltuul pulls up Zack, and gets ready to make a tag to Belthazar. Macomber, however, drives an elbow into Kaltuul's stomach, and then a second. He then shoves Kaltuul into the ropes. Chang reaches up from the apron, and grabs Kaltuul by the hair, pulling him down and getting a large pop from the crowd. The referee runs over to admonish Chang, as Zack begins to pull Kaltuul up. Just then, Thresh Crest leaps into the ring, runs up behind Zack, and hits the Clash (Jumping Reverse DDT)!!! Zack gets planted, and both he and Kaltuul struggle to get to their corners.

Kaltuul crawls closer and closer to his corner, as Zack gets closer to his as well, reaching out to Chang Mustafa, who desperately wants a tag. Kaltuul is able to tag in Belthazar, as Zack reaches out to tag Chang…when Gravedigger pushes Chang of the way and tags Zack's hand! Gravedigger steps into the ring, and knocks down Belthazar, who gets up and is knocked down again by Gravedigger. Zack, meanwhile, gets onto the apron, and is fuming over Gravedigger's tag. Gravedigger continues going to town on Belthazar, hitting a Swinging Neckbreaker. Belthazar quickly tries to scurry to his corner, but Gravedigger grabs his leg and pulls him back in. Gravedigger kicks Belthazar in the midsection, then hooks up for the Last Descent (Screwdriver)! Gravedigger lifts Belthazar up…when Thresh gets into the ring, and kicks Gravedigger in the gut, causing him to release Belthazar from the move. Gravedigger goes after Thresh, as the NMW champ retreats to the apron. The Unholy One nails Thresh with a right hand, and Thresh fires back with one of his own. Belthazar quickly rolls Gravedigger up from behind with a schoolboy pin……………1……………….2……………….Kickout! Gravedigger quickly gets back up and smokes Belthazar with a vicious clothesline! Belthazar gets up, and runs right into the palm of Gravedigger's hand, and the Embalmer (Chokeslam from Hell)! Gravedigger lifts up the Tide, but Kaltuul tags Belthazar's foot on the ascent. Gravedigger plants Belthazar with the chokeslam, as Kaltuul scales the turnbuckle. Gravedigger turns around, right into a missile dropkick from Kaltuul!

Gravedigger slowly gets to his feet, as Kaltuul begins stomping on him. Gravedigger is able to get to his feet, but is rocked by a jab to the jaw from Kaltuul. Kaltuul then whips Gravedigger, but gets it reversed. Kaltuul bounces off the ropes, and runs directly into a big boot from the Unholy One! The crowd lets out a small cheer, as Gravedigger looks over at Zack and Chang. He walks over to them, raising his hand to make a tag…then turns around and walks back over to Kaltuul. Gravedigger pulls Kaltuul back up, and grabs him around the throat. He lifts Kaltuul up quickly, and slams him down with the Embalmer (Chokeslam from Hell)!!! Katuul hits the mat hard, and quickly drags himself over to his corner. Gravedigger backs up a bit after the slam…and Zack Macomber reaches out and tags him on the back! Gravedigger spins around…and takes a swing at Zack, but Zack sidesteps him. At the same moment, Kaltuul tags in Thresh, who runs over and blindsides Gravedigger, knocking him out of the ring! Zack then steps into the ring, and waits for Crest to turn around. The NMW champ, turns, and he and Zack stand toe to toe for a moment. The crowd's cheers erupt.

A few seconds pass, before Thresh throws the first punch…which Zack blocks. Zack then throws his own punch, which Thresh blocks! The two men then engage in a strong grapple, and begin twisting and turning all about the ring, each trying to gain the advantage. Eventually, they spin out of control, and both fall out of the ring, on the side of the entrance ramp! They topple to the floor, but both are quick to get to his feet. Thresh takes a big swing at Zack, but Zack ducks, and catches Thresh in the Riot Act (STO 2)! Zack kicks his leg out…but gets elbowed in the head by Thresh, who then drops to one knee and nails Zack with a blatant low blow! From inside the ring, the ref yells at both men to get back into the ring, but neither pays him any attention. Crest then pulls Zack up, and whips him into the steel stairs! Zack topples over them, and lays in pain on the floor, as the Tides of Darkness hop down from their part of the apron. All three members of Anarchy begin stomping on Zack repeatedly. Suddenly, there is a yell from up in the ring, as Chang bounces off the opposite ropes…and sails over the top rope in a suicide dive, onto all three Anarchy members!!! Chang jumps back to his feet, and begins hopping around, as the crowd cheers him in delight. Mustafa then helps Zack get to his feet…when Gravedigger comes around the corner. Chang sees Gravedigger coming, and tries to stop him, but the Unholy One pushes Chang out of the way. Gravedigger grabs Zack, and rolls him back into the ring.

Zack is rolled into the ring, and he slowly gets to his feet, as Gravedigger climbs in as well. Chang just watches from the outside, in fear of what may happen to his teammates. Gravedigger steps up to Zack, who gets up in his face and starts yelling. Gravedigger says nothing, and just watches Zack as he screams at the Unholy One. The crowd begins chanting for Zack to hit Gravedigger, as Chang Mustafa finally slides into the ring, and gets between the two. He separates them before they come to blows, and tries to talk some sense into them. Gravedigger looks at Chang for a moment, then looks at Zack again. Gravedigger raises his arm to throw a punch at Macomber, but Chang grabs his arm! Gravedigger's head spins to look at Chang, as he then swings his free arm around, and almost decapitates Chang with a HUGE clothesline! Chang falls onto his neck, and bounces out of the ring, next to Anarchy, which is finally starting to come around.

Gravedigger then turns his attention back to Zack, and wastes no time in headbutting him, sending him sprawling backwards. Gravedigger then kicks him a little low, and hooks up up for the Last Descent (Screwdriver)!! Gravedigger lifts Zack into the air vertically, and holds him there for a good 10 seconds or so, letting the blood rush to Zack's head. The Unholy One then drives Macomber down head-first, planting him with a sickening thud, and possibly even injuring Zack's neck with the painful maneuver. Zack holds his neck, and rolls away from Gravedigger, before falling out of the ring. Gravedigger stands alone in the ring for a moment…when he is hit from behind by a low blow from Thresh Crest, who has crawled back into the ring!! The Tides are also in the ring now, and they spin Gravedigger around and whip him into the ropes. Both Tides grab Gravedigger on the rebound, lift him up, and Thresh leaps into the air, grabbing Gravedigger's head and driving him down with a Triple Team 3D! Thresh then rolls Gravedigger and makes the pin, as the Tides stand by…………..1………………2…………………….3!!!
