5..4...3.2..1...

The PYRE blasts off as we see various X-Factor signs, but many Team 5 Star, Henchmen, and Burning Demons supporters and haters. We then see clips from last week as a NEW US Champ was crowned after Jonothan finally ended the reign of Wicked D. But the Henchmen had the last laugh in the end...what will tonight bring us as we head into the highly anticipated Sunday Bloody Sunday PPV.

Ember Malice vs Mortimer Bones
Both contestants are in the ring as the bell sounds...right when they lock up the music of Team 5 Star hits as they stop dead in their tracks and look to the entrance way. The bos come HAILING in as Diablo, Wolf, and Xane walk out ALL carrying some gold. They are without smiles today as they strut to the ring. Neither Malice or Bones move as they both look at 5 Star totally disrespect both of them as they step into the ring interrupting their match. AD calls for a mic...

AD: Hey, I don't know who you two idiots are, but both of you better leave now. Malice...you maybe a woman, but don't think that we won't drop you right here and now.

Neither wrestler moves as Wolf NAILS Malice from behind with his HC title and then DDT's the poor rookie. Bones runs at Xane but is KILLED WITH THE CAREER ENDER as Xane kicks him out of the ring. No the ring belongs to Team 5 Star who are recieving the "A$$HOLE" chant from the fans.

AD: SAVE IT!!! It seems to me as if Plague and his band of assclowns didn't get the message a few weeks ago. It seems to me if Plague himself didn't get the message at the LAST PV...hey...IDIOT...if you manage to get past Asylum tonight what makes you think that some nodoby like yourself is gonna BURY ME ALIVE??? I've been through this CRAP before with Angel, and I sent him to hell and he was never the same since. The Burning Demons was destroyed along time ago and turned into Damnation for a REASON! Yet you guys think it's cute to reform the WEAKEST stable ever. You think by jumping on the BIGGEST DOGS IN THE POIUND that it's gonna win you some recognition and respect. Not a chance, look at what has happened to EVERYONE that has tried. Where is the Onslaught? NO WHERE!! You know why? BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T KEEP UPWITH TEAM FIVE STAR!!! Who made the Henchmen go back and crawl under rocks to rethink their game plan? WE DID!! While all you other stables cry about how we aren't anything all I got to say is look at the damn facts. We OWNED Wargames, we OWN the World Title, we OWN the TV Title, we OWN the HC Title, WE OWN THIS FEDERATION!!! Plague...your starting to get on my nerves, but being the champion that I am if I have to PROVE to you that you can't match up with the likes of me and Team 5 Star then so BE IT! If you need to be sucking in dirt instead of air to get the message then consider it DONE! Everyones played the dark and scary game A LONG time ago...you're 3 years too late jackass. Your not World Championship material...and you never will be. As a matter of fact Team 5 Star is going for it all in one night...we will take out you and your boys all at Sunday Bloody Sunday. I got you in the Main Event, and Xane and Wolf are now challenging Angel and Corpse to a tag team battle. If you boys got the balls then accept your LAST match as members of the Burning Demons...because after Sunday...another stable...will lay in our graveyard with everyone else.

Their music hits but the boos over power it as they just raise their arms in pre-victory and leave the ring. Sunday is going to be one intense night.

We go backstage with Mike Cole who is standing by with he new US CHamp Jonothan.

MC: Congratulations are in order for you Jonothan as you defeated the 6 month reigning champion Wicked D. D has already stated that he deserves his rematch at the PPV and one can only agree with him. But after the match...the celebration was disrupted. Let's go to the footage...

We see Jonothan being laid out by the Henchmen as they drop him on his US Title as D screams in his face.

Jono: Huh, the Henchmen must not have heard my warning when I said...DO NOT MESS WITH ME!! They got the jump on me because I stand alone, no Onslaught, no Destruction Inc, NO ONE!! But that is fine Cole, because I got the job done ALONE as I DDT'd Wicked in the center of that ring and got the victory. I ALONE won the US Title and I ALONE will successfully defend it this Sunday. Yeah, D had a 6 month reign, but he was OUT for about 2 of those months. I'm a real champion, a fighting champion, the NEW US Champion. If he wants his rematch then so be it, if the Henchmen want to come down and try to finish things then SO BE IT!!! But I'll be ready this time...and I'll have a Drop Out DDT waiting for all 3 of them. Let them Come Cole....let them come.

MC: Do you think you should have asked for a Steel Cage or some sort of rule where the Henchmen can't come down and interfere?

Jono: I don't care anymore Cole, I've been in the shadows way too long. I said a month ago that my place is at the TOP of the IHWA, and that's where I will be. The Henchmen won't stop me, the Demons won't stopme, and neither will team 5 Star. Sure, the Onslaught didn't go as well as I had hoped, but I'm still here, and I'm still standing with gold around my waist. The year 2003 is coming to a close within in a few months and it will be here sooner than most think...2004 will be MY year...and I plan to kick it off a little early.

All of a sudden Wicked D comes up and just grins at Jonothan who immediatly grabs a lead pipe that was sitting on a storage box nearby incase the Henchmen are nearby.

WD: Listen to you Jonothan, all proud of yourself...still running off at the mouth just because you lucked out and won the US Title. Well it looks like I get to start my reign all over again on Sunday. You've got nothing, you think anyone cares if you stand alone? What, are we supposed to care about how much pride and bravery you have? Go to hell Jonothan, we don't care...all that matters is that you are in danger...grave danger. We let you off with a little message last week...but on sunday...hahahah...we will leave you shacked up with the rest of your Onslaught geeks...your team failed and so did you. You came back to the IHWA praising your good book and looking down at us...where are we Jonothan? The Henchmen still live...and if you have any doubt just wait until Asylum takes out Plague, if you have any doubt just look at how we whooped everyone a few weeks ago. You got lucky you ugly Brit...the only thing that's getting dropped out this Sunday...is the rest of your body as I lay you out and pin your carcass.

Jono: Lucky? Hmmph...you of all people and your little fluke of a reign should speak of lucky. You get your rematch D...just don't come crying to me when you are staring up at the lights for a second time in a row.

Both men go nose to nose as if the match was about to explode right here and now. BUt Wicked just smiles and walks away as he shines the US belt that's on Jono's waist and says.."Coming back home to daddy hehehehe" and walks off as a infuriated Jonothan looks on. I don't think the ring will be big enough to hold the fury of these two men.

Corpse vs Phantom
We see Phantom makings his way out of his dressing room as he heads to the ring. As he walks past the hall, Plague jumps out and distracts him while Corpse comes from behind and blasts him with a chair. Plague laughs as Corpse picks him up and carries him to the ring. Corpse almost resembles the late great RLE in a eeire fashion with his choice of costume and mask. The crowd boos as Plague follows Corpse to the ring as Corpse tosses Phantom in the ring. Corpse gets in and goes to cover him...1...2..Phantom kicks out and is no where near defeated. He gets up and starts to fight back at Corpse who does nothing but head butt him in the face. Phantom stumbles back as Corpse stalks him and delivers a kick in the corner and then delivers a fierce irish whip into the next corner. Phantom hits hard and falls to the mat as Corpse slowly walks over to him. He picks him up by the head as Plague screams instructions to him....TOMBSTONE piledriver on Phantom. Corpse doesn't go fo rthe cover as Plague yells for him to do another, but from the top rope. Plague is supposed to be proving himself to the Demons, but it seems as if they are to end his career. Corpse carries him to the top, but Phantom fights it and turns it into a SUPERBULLDOG from the top rope. Phantom can barely get up as he stands up and begins to pound away on the thick skull of Corpse. Phantom hits the ropes and delivers a spinning high cross body to Corpse, but Corpse catches him and gorrilla presses him then drops him, catches him, and delivers a nasty backbreaker. What velocity he had on that move. Phantom is hurting in a bad way as Corpse just looks at the obliterated foe as he drives his knee into the spine of Phantom. He picks him up for a chokeslam and turns it into another BACKBREAKER!!! Plague tells him to end it as Corpse walks on the second rope and puts Phantom in s razor's Edge type move. He jumps off the second rope, and springs phantom in the air only to catches him on his shoulder as Corpse drops to his knees for a IMPRESSIVE backbreaker that leavess Phantom lifeless in that ring. He covers him...1...2...3. I guess no Burning Demons membership for Phantom. Plague jumps in the ring as Angel joins him as all three members of the Demons are in the ring.
Winner: Corpse

Plague calls for a mic as Angel pulls out a shovel from beneath the ring and hands it to Plague.

Plague: A brave man Diablo? Or just a fool who speaks out loud to bring himself some confidence. You tell me I need to get past Asylum tonight? I will make an example out of Asylum and show you how it is done Diablo. Your days as World Champion and living being on this Earth are all but numbered....the days slowly waste away and it plays with your very mind. You THINK you know what to expect, you THINK this is just like before....the thing is...it's so different you have no idea. I don't want to JUST take the World Title away from you...I want to take it ALL away from you. Your pride, your strength, your mountain top that you cherish so much. You've been tested before Diablo....but by men that are like you...that think like you and act like you. You have NEVER been tested by PLAGUE before. If it wasn't for Team 5 Star that World Title would have been around my waist a LONG time ago. But now the odds are even and you fools HATE it. Yes, Team 5 Star is the top of the food chain at the moment...but like time...all things change. Somethings change on their own...and some MAKE that change. You come out and act calm and cool in front of your boys....but deep down inside you are sweating bullets. You haven't been in such a match for so long Diablo...your body is getting used o the wrestling matches and stables wars...it isn't used to hell yet. What does your body tell you Diablo? As a matter of fact...what does your mind tell you? You can lie to your team and the fans, but you can't lie to me and yourself. The main thing is Diablo....you are worried...and now...you will become desperate. You will try to get the upper hand tonight, you will watch and pray, hoping for Asylum to take me out in that ring tonight....but he won;t stop me from getting to you...and I don't think he really wants to anyway Diablo. He wants to see you suffer just like everyone else. You were a marked man by other wrestlers...but you've never been a marked man by the devil himself. Your precious World Title will be in the clutches of the Demons soon enough...and slowly...bit by bit...we will chip away at the crumbling mountain known as Team 5 Star. Oh fearless leader, can you look your boys in the eyes and tell them that you are not scared. They know you are....WE know you are. And that's all that matters. Don't worry...Angel and Corpse will take care of Wolf and Xane. And the Henchmen. There will be no need to worry about them, I will personally send Asylum back to the mental home after tonights battle. He will be no more, and then neither will you. Stay in your little locker room and hide Diablo...but come sunday...you will no longer be safe from the Burning Demons.

The music plays as the Demons head to the back t a mix reaction from the crowd.

Pyre vs. Boone
Pyre is already waiting in the ring when 'La Grange' by Z Z Top starts playing. Out walks Samuel Boone with a cowboy hat and a lasso. He walks down to the ring and takes off the hat and lasso and climbs in.

As soon as he is in the ring, Pyre attacks him and the bell rings. Pyre is fighting Boone with lefts and rights but Boone nails Pyre in the chest with a punch that knocks him out of air and to the mat. Boone is standing over Pyre and picks him up and whips him into the ropes. Boone sticks out an arm for a clothesline but Pyre ducks it and bounces off the other side of the ring and connects with Boone with a Flying Forearm. Boone staggers back, Pyre runs into the ropes again and comes off with a Clothesline, Boone is still up and Pyre runs into the ropes and connects with a Drop Kick. Boone drops in the corner and Pyre drags him to a standing position and starts the ten count punch 1..2...3...4....5...6....7...8...9....and on ten he jumps up for an Atomic Elbow. Pyre moves to the center of the ring and runs in at Boone, Pyre jumps up for a splash but Boone reacts quickly and catches him in Mid-Air and slams him on the mat with a Body Slam. Pyre rolls over and holds his back. Boone falls against the ropes and catches himself. He stands up and pulls Pyre to the center of the ring and lays a knee across his forehead. Boone picks Pyre up and backs him into a corner, he starts to Shoulder Charge him once, twice...three times and backs off. Pyre falls to his knees and Boone walks closer, Pyre starts fighting back with lefts and rights to Boone's midsection. Boone lays a huge arm across Pyre's back and neck area. Boone has Pyre up and Standing now, Pye breaks free of Boone's hand and starts attacking the big man's knees. Pyre is kicking, clipping and everything. Boone is down on his knees and Pyre is circling around him madly laughing. Pyre walks around him and occasionally shoots out a hand and punches Boone and shoots out a leg and kicks him. Pyre then begins dancing around sensually (Guess it has something to do with the Strippers and stuff). Pyre then jumps on Boone's shoulders and grabs his hair and acts like it's a horse, flailing his arm and Yee Hawing. But Pyre made a big mistake. Boone stands up with Pyre on his shoulders and drops backwards with an Electric Chair Drop. Boone makes it to his feet and is kicking the kinks out of his knees and then goes right back to work on Pyre. Boone lands a few stomps in on Pyre before moving onto picking him up. Boone tosses Pyre into the ropes and runs at him when Pyre bounces off and levels him with the 'Long Arm of the Law' Boone stands up Pyre and positions him for the 'Final Justice' Boone covers 1.....2.......3....
Winner by Pinfall- Samuel Boone

As Pyre rolls out of the ring and the ref raise Boone's hand, Orlando Jackson sneaks into the ring with that DAMN Coal Miners Glove on that's wrapped in Barbedwire. He pulls SB around and swings, but SB ducks and grabs OJ for a NAST Atomic Drop. The glove falls off as Boone picks it up and the fans go NUTS!!! He puts it on and BLASTS OJ in the head as he falls out of the ring, but SB follows. He begins to pound away on the head of Jackson and you can see the blood coming out of the "Real Deals" head. Officials run out and pull the angry Texan off of Jackson as he lifts up his arm in victory and declares victory for this sunday in that match that promises to be a brutal one.

Asylum vs Plague
The lights go out in the arena and the words "The Burning Demons" appear in flames across the JumboTron!! Suddenly the sounds of "God Send Death" by Slayer comes over the PA and the fans boo as the Dark Lord from the very bowels of Hell themselves, Plague, accompanied as always by the huge man known only as Corpse, comes stalking out of the back. The Essense of Evil is dressed in black from head to toe and is wearing a hooded cloak and leather gloves to complete the intimidating look. He walks slowly to the ring, ignoring the fans and slowly climbs the steel steps, then steps through the ropes and enters the ring. He holds a hand high in front of him and then pulls it down fast while making a tight fist and suddenly flames shoot up from all four corners of the ring! BOOM!!! The fans gasp in amazement as the blasts sends waves of rading heat through the thousands in attendance. As the smoke clears, the lights come up and the music fades as the ref gets right into the face of Corpse and issues him away from the ring. Corpse gets up on the apron and stands towering over the shaking ref, but the man in stripes holds his ground and points to the back. Plague simply nods his head and Corpse does as directed - jumping down from the apron and heading slowly up the ramp. When he gets to the top, instead of going through the curtains, he stands to the side, waiting... how strange!

"Am I Evil" by Metallica begins to play and Plague, and the fans, stare at the entry ramp as they await the psycho punk from the halls of the Sanitarium... The curtain opens and out steps... NOBODY?!? Corpse looks confused he was planning a sneak attack, but how do you jump no one? Plague watches Corpse slowly walk to the open curtain and suddenly a steel chair comes crashing out of the dark confines, staggering the masked man back! Plague is trying to see what is going on, and doesn't see as Asylum comes rolling out from under the ring on the far side and slides in to the ring... he rushes across the ring and hits Plague in the back with a Running Knee Lift that sends the evil one careening over the top rope and sprawling to the floor!!! The ref calls for the bell and this one is under way!!!

At the top of the ramp, Wicked D comes running out of the back and is punching the hell out of Corpse, as back at ring side Asylum waits for Plague to start to get up and then launches over the top rope with a Sling Shot Hurricanrana that sends both men crashing into the cement arena floor!!! The crowd gasps audibly with that move! Back at the top of the ramp, Wicked D is slamming that chair over and over into the top of Corpse's head until finally the monster grabs the chair and jerks it out of his hands! Corpse tosses the chair away and with reflexes usually reserved for luchadores and pick pockets, he grabs Wicked D by the throat and lifts him high into the air!!! Back at ringside, Asylum had dragged the surprised leader of the Burning Demons over to the Spanish Announcers' table and begins to slam his head into it over and over again! Plague is in serious trouble and this match has barely started!

Just in front of the curtains, we see Corpse, still holding Wicked D in the air by his throat, walk slowly to the side of the ramp! OH MY GAWD!!! He's going to choke slam the wicked one 25 feet to the ground!!! Corpse sets it up and goes to throw him but Wicked D hangs on and pulls Corpse off as well! Both men fall through the air and land onto a table that held electrical cables and equipment!!! Corpse hits first, with Wicked D right on top of him, and both me slam through the table and come to rest on the cold concrete!!! MY GAWD!!! They could have been killed!!! Somebody get down there and check on them!!!

Back at ringside, Asylum has now pulled Plague up onto the table and is setting him up for a move through the table I think! Asylum grabs him in a front chancery and then lifts Plague high into the air! It looks like Asylum is seeting him up for a devestating version of his Shock Treatment!!! NO!!! Plague thinks quickly and rakes Asylum's eyes, forcing the mad henchman to release the hold! As Plague is falling though the air, he hangs onto Asylum's head and turns the move into an amazing Modified Block Buster!!! The back of Asylum's head was just SLAMMED into the wooden table!!! Asylum grabs his head in pain and is laid out on the announcers' table! Plague grabs a nearby cable, which was intended to be used for the video monitors, and pulls it loose then uses it to choke out the superstar!!! Plague has Asylum laid out as he chokes the life out of the crazy man!

Asylum slowly turns blue and slows his struggling as the ref gives up on counting both men out since he's already lost control of this match! Plague has Asylum laid across the table and not moving - DID HE KILL HIM?!? I just don't know!!! Plague pulls him into position on the table and then slides back into the ring... what is he doing?!? Plague grabs the top rope and then jumps up onto it!!! Holy crap!!! He just used the top rope as a springboard and came flying off onto Asylum with an amazing FLYING GUILLOTINE LEGDROP!!! Plague slams into the mad man and the table, but the table holds!!! HOW THE HELL?!?! Plague rolls off the table and holds his tailbone in pain but keeps moving... he quickly crawls back into the ring and then climbs to the top turnbuckle. He points at Asylum and the table and then turns his back on both of them - MOONSAULT!!! Plague just LAUNCHES off the top and goes high into the air with an arc that brings him down HARD across the chest of Asylum and this time the table gives way to the incredible pressure it is under and collapse as the fans go nuts!!!

Plague makes the cover on his nearly unconcious opponent, but the ref refuses to count... this is NOT a hardcore match, even if it is proceeding like one! Plague looks up and mouths some pretty obscene comments to the man in the striped shirt, but then pulls Asylum free from the wreckage and rolls him back into the ring. Plague slides in after him and makes the cover... 1... 2... NO!!! Asylum gets his shoulder up! Plague quickly makes another cover... 1... 2... NO!!! Asylum kicks out again!!! Plague grabs his legs and rolls up Asylum... 1... 2... NO!!! The ref catches Plague using the ropes for leverage with his feet and breaks the count! SOOOO CLOSE!!!!

Plague releases the hold and gets quickly to his feet. He climbs to the second turnbuckle and waits for Asylum to start getting to his feet - WHAM!!! He comes flying off with a Double Sledge that sends Asylum crashing face first back into the mat! Plague pulls Asylum back up and then grabs him by the waist and flips the mad man into the air and slams him back to the mat with a Spinning Side Slam! Here's the cover.. 1.. NO!!! Asy gets a shoulder up! Plague pulls him up and sends him careening into the corner! Asylum slams back first into the corner turnbuckles and grabs his back in pain! He left his front exposed and Plague takes advantage of it as he grabs the top rope and shoves a boot deep into Asylum throat, cutting off his breath and pinning the bigger man into the corner!!! He continues to choke Asylum as the ref gives a 5 count... Plague breaks the hold just long enough to stop the count and then reapplies it!!! Another 5 count and he finally releases Asylum who collapses into the corner. Plague grabs the bigger man, lifts him bodily into the air and then ties him up, upside down, in the corner with a Tree of Woe! Asylum is hanging upside down, unable to defend himself! Plague kicks him a couple of times in the ribs and then runs into the far ropes to build up speed... Plague comes hurtling at Asylum's head with a Running Baseball Slide Drop Kick - NO!!! Asylum manages to grab the ropes and pull himself up just in time as Plague slides under him and ends up crotching himself on the corner post!!! Plague is laying there in pain, as Asylum frees his legs and then lets go of the ropes as he drops through the air and slams an elbow hard into Plague's chest!!! OOOFFFF!!! That HAD to hurt!

Asylum leans over him and begins pounding on Plague's head! The ref starts counting because Plague's legs are both under the ropes! 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5 count! Asylum lets go of Plague, then stands up grabs Plague by the hair and pulls him back into the ring. He drops down onto his opponent again and resumes punching! The ref gives another 5 count and forces Asylum to stop. Asylum gives an evil look at the ref who backs up in fear and just gets out of the way as Asylum gets up, jumps into air, and drops a Flying Knee Drop across Plague's upper chest and neck! Plague grabs his thoat and rolls over in pain!

Plague is on his hands and knees writhing in pain as Asylum pulls him up and then double underhooks his arms, then lifts him high into the air and slams His Evilness into the mat with a Double Underhook Butterfly Suplex!!! Asylum quickly rolls Plague over onto his belly and then pulls him up again and locks his head between his legs... underhook the arms and then Asylum jumps into the air and slams Plague's head into the mat with a Pedigree!!! Asylum rolls him over and then shoves his forearm into Plague's face as he holds him down... 1... 2... NO!!! Plague just gets a shoulder up in time!

Asylum pulls Plague up and slams him with a kick to the gut... he grabs Plague by the hair, kicks a leg up over the back of his head and slams Plague into the mat with a Jumping Rocker Dropper!!! Asylum doesn't go for the pin, instead he pulls Plague up and whips him hard into the corner! Plague bounces off but is slammed right back with a Drop Kick! Plague is out of it in the corner as Asylum goes up top and starts slamming him in the head with big right hands as the crowd chants along!!! 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. 7.. 8.. 9.. Asylum holds up his fist and sets up the Big #10 - NO!! Plague grabs his legs and walks out a few steps and then falls back - Snake Eyes into the top turnbuckle!!! Where did he find the energy to pull that one off?!?

Plague grabs Asylum by the boots and then pulls him out of the corner by his legs... Plague jumps into the air and Elbow Drops Asylum on the inner thigh - almost a Low Blow there! Plague moves quickly around the leg and ends up kneeling on the mat with Asylum's leg being twisted at a weird angle! Asylum is in pain as Plague pulls back on the foot, adding an Ankle Lock to the hold! Asylum is in serious pain but won't give up! Plague tries to break the leg off, but still can't get Asylum to submit. The crowd is now sitting on the edge of their seats in excitement.

Plague gives up on the submission and releases the hold... Plague grabs Asylum by the hair and pulls him up... Asylum is really favoring that injured leg pretty well now! Plague shoves Asylum into the corner again and kicks him three times in the solar plexus! As Asylum tries to regain his senses, Plague puts the injured leg over the 2nd rope and pulls on it, putting tremendous pressure on the knee! Asylum is in pain and tries to pull free, but Plague just pulls harder on it. Plague is smiling tremendously as Asylum grimaces in pain!

Asylum grabs him by the hair and throws Plague off of him! Plague immediately gets up and runs back at Asylum as he frees his leg from the ropes... Plague spears Asylum into the turnbuckles, driving the air out of him! Plague lifts Asylum up and sits him onto the top turnbuckle.... He's setting him up for the Darkness Falls (Stunner off the top)!!! Plague tries to lock it on but Asylum pushes him off! Plague immediately gets back up and slugs Asylum in the gut and goes for another lock up - NO!!! Asylum times it just right and as Plague turns to grab him, the crazy man snakes his arms into position and locks on the Straight Jacket!!!! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!?! Asylum pushes off the turnbuckles and wraps his legs around Plague's mid-section as both men hit the mat! Asylum is choking out the challenger while squeezing the life out of him! Plague tries to get to the ropes but his arms are out of place and he can't move. Asylum squeezes harder and Plague has no choice but to tap out!!! NO WAY!!!
Winner: Asylum

The fans are up on their feet in excitement as Asylum releases the hold. He falls off of his opponent as the ref raises his arm in victory. Asylum gets up and staggers to the ring ropes... it looks like that match took a lot out of him. Suddenly Plague rushes up behind him and slams him into the corner again! Plague grabs Asylum by the hair and throws him over the top rope and to the floor, where he lands with a loud thud. Plague stands on the bottom rope and looks down at the fallen victor.

Plague: "This is not over... not by a long shot!!!"

Suddenly the crowd goes nuts as the World Champion, Alec Diablo, slides into the ring and attacks Plague with a shovel! CLANG!!! He slams the Essence of Evil in the back of the head with the shovel and Plague collapses to the ring!

Alec Diablo: "You want to rid the world of me? OF ME?!?! I DON'T THINK SO!!!"

Diablo pulls Plague to his feet and drags him to the side of the ring where Wolf and Bastian Xane have rolled a coffin... Diablo throws Plague over the top rope where he lands with a thud in the coffin! Wolf and Xane slams the lid shut and are laughing about it when suddenly Angel and Corpse come running down the ramp! Diablo laughs as he calls to Wolf and Xane and then take off through the crowd! Corpse and Angel consider giving chase, but head for the coffin instead. They rip the lid off and pull Plague free of his entrapment. Plague looks enraged but his oppressors are gone. I think we're going to see the match from hell when he gets his hands on the World Champ at the PPV! HOLY COW!!!
