Covert Jay: Huttah!

Mister Mav: And I will be joined here tonight by Covert Jay, Joshman will be back next month for Resurrection!

Technical Title Match

Nomad © versus Lone Wolf

Bark at the Moon hits to a loud pop, and Lone Wolf walks down the ramp, pausing halfway and raising his arm as explosions go off around the arena. He gets in the ring and goes to two of the turnbuckles.

Mister Mav: Lone Wolf is one of the bright young stars here in LWF, and he and Red Fusion are quickly climbing the ladder.

Covert Jay: I haven’t seen either of them anywhere near a ladder.

Mister Mav: It’s a metaphor.

The Outlaw Torn hits to heat, and Nomad comes out of the crowd and drops the Technical Title at ringside as he slides in behind Lone Wolf, but Lone Wolf spins around and is ready for him with the Wolf Pounce!

Mister Mav: Nomad tried his patented sneak attack, but Lone Wolf was ready for him, and this match is underway!

Nomad shoves Lone Wolf off, and as he gets to his feet the two lockup. Lone Wolf comes out with the advantage with a side headlock, which Nomad reverses into a hammerlock. Lone Wolf reaches behind him and grabs Nomad’s head, rears up, and flips Nomad over with a snapmare, then pulls Lone Wolf right into a rear chinlock. Lone Wolf wrenches the hold, but Nomad rolls through it and grapevines Lone Wolf’s leg, pulling him into a modified Indian deathlock! Lone Wolf pulls himself to the ropes, and Nomad waits till the referee counts to 4 before breaking the hold. Lone Wolf gets up, but is met with a right hand by Nomad, and Nomad snakes under and grabs Lone Wolf from behind with a falling neckbreaker! Nomad sits Lone Wolf up, and readies himself in the corner, exploding out with a rolling neck snap!

Covert Jay: Oh, joy. Softening up.

Mister Mav: You don’t enjoy Technical Matches, do you?

Covert Jay: Get to the point, you know?

Nomad pulls Lone Wolf up, dragging him into the corner. Nomad grabs Lone Wolf by the throat, and pounds the back of his neck into the turnbuckle, then puts him into a neck vise! The referee checks Lone Wolf, but he isn’t giving in. Nomad wrenches Lone Wolf’s neck, and the referee checks Lone Wolf again. Lone Wolf shakes his head no, then elbows Nomad in the ribs! He elbows him again, and Nomad winces in pain. Lone Wolf elbows him a third time, and Nomad releases the hold! Lone Wolf grabs Nomad, and hits a tornado DDT! Lone Wolf shakes his head and tries to recover, then picks up Nomad and slams him right back down with a release german suplex! Lone Wolf tries to go for the Rabid Bite, but Nomad rolls out of that and somehow pulls Lone Wolf into the Leash!

Mister Mav: Nomad has Lone Wolf in the Leash!

Covert Jay: They’re right next to the ropes. This is just more weakening.

Lone Wolf quickly grabs the ropes, forcing Nomad to break the hold. Nomad, frustrated, drags Lone Wolf up and takes him down with a shortarm clothesline, then drops down with an elbow! He grinds his elbow into Lone Wolf’s neck and back, causing Lone Wolf to shout out in pain. Nomad pulls Lone Wolf up, and whips him chest first into the ropes, and catches him on the rebound with the Leash, but before he can lock in the bodyscissors Lone Wolf elbows him in the gut and turns it into the Bone Cruncher! Both men are down, and the ref begins the ten count. Nomad and Lone Wolf stir at the same time, and Lone Wolf gets to his feet a shade faster than Nomad, and hits him with a couple of right hands. Lone Wolf waistlocks Nomad for a belly to belly suplex, but Nomad headbutts out of it, and knees Lone Wolf in the gut! Nomad stands over Lone Wolf, measuring him. Nomad goes down to apply the Leash, but Lone Wolf scissors Nomad’s leg and rolls through, and puts Nomad right into the Rabid Bite, but Nomad squirms out of it and kicks Lone Wolf for a low blow, and the referee didn’t see it because he was watching Nomad for a tap! Lone Wolf cries out in pain, and Nomad easily puts him into the Leash! Lone Wolf can’t get to the ropes, and he taps out!

Winner: Nomad via Submission to retain the Technical Title

Tag Title Match
Lunacy in Motion © versus Creative Control

Table Match

Angel of Death hits to a strong pop, and Arelas walks out to the stage. He makes his way down the ramp and steps up on the apron, then thrusts the Sword of Justice into the air, igniting the turnbuckles. My World hits to strong heat, and Lock walks out from backstage and pauses on the stage, his trenchcoat billowing slightly. He walks to ringside and takes the coat off, then steps into the ring, watching Arelas the whole way. The two meet in the center of the ring and exchange words, until finally Lock shoves Arelas, and a moment later Arelas shoves him back.

Mister Mav: This match hasn’t even started, and Creative Control has already exploded!

Covert Jay: I really think they should have been called, The Dragon and the Other Guy.

Mister Mav: I don’t think it matters what you call them, they’re about to beat the hell out of each other.

Renegades of Funk hits to a mighty pop, and Alan Fernandez and Firestar, together the Tag Team Champions as Lunacy in Motion, come out from backstage and run down the ramp. Alan Fernandez slides into the ring and hits a leaping double clothesline, knocking down both Arelas and Lock as Firestar sets up a table at ringside.

Mister Mav: Firestar is setting up a table at ringside, and this is a sudden death table match. You only need to put one of your opponents through a table to win the match, but you must do it yourself with an offensive maneuver.

Covert Jay: So what you’re saying is that a few people will go through tables, but they won’t count.

Mister Mav: I didn’t say that.

Covert Jay: Or the referee won’t see it or something.

Mister Mav: Stop that.

Alan fights Lock into the ropes with right hands, then whips him off the ropes into a topspin facebuster, and Lock rolls right out under the bottom rope to ringside. Alan stands up and turns around, quickly ducking a clothesline from Arelas, then grabbing him and slamming him down for a crossface halo. Firestar heads over to Lock, but he twists his body and catches her in a drop toe hold, dropping her into the steel steps. Alan pulls Arelas up and goes to throw him over the ropes at the table, but as Alan flings him and turns away Arelas grabs the top rope and lands back on the apron, but Lock steps underneath him, reaches up, and powerbombs him right off the apron through the table!

Covert Jay: You can’t do that to the dragon! The dragon can’t lose!

Mister Mav: Arelas didn’t just lose, but I think Alan thinks he just won! Alan doesn’t realize that it was Lock that did it!

Alan raises his arms as Lock slides in behind him, and as Alan turns around Lock meets him with right hands, then whips him off the ropes into a high knee. Alan tries to get right up, but Lock whips him into the corner, and charges in and spears him. Alan starts to slump out, but Lock grabs him, the sets up and hits a jackknife powerbomb that drops Alan over the ropes to ringside!

Mister Mav: Wow! Lock just drove Alan right into the ground at ringside, what impact!

Covert Jay: This match is in need of dragon.

Lock rolls out of the ring and pulls another table out from under the ring, then sets it up next to where Arelas is starting to stir in the shards of the broken table. Lock turns away and goes after Alan as he is getting up, and Alan explodes with a superkick, but Lock sidesteps it and Alan drills Arelas, knocking him on top of the new table. Lock and Alan brawl around at ringside, arriving at the bottom of the ramp, and Alan lifts Lock up and drops him on the barricade. Firestar has recovered and is on the top turnbuckle, staring down at Arelas, and she leaps for Doomsday, but Arelas moves off the table and she crashes through it!

Covert Jay: The dragon escapes again!

Mister Mav: I’m not sure Arelas even saw Firestar coming, and what a lucky break that was for Creative Control!

Arelas moves to the side of the ring near the announce tables and starts to set up a table as Alan slides one into the ring and sets it up near a corner. Alan is watching Lock as he gets back up and slides into the ring, as Arelas climbs in behind him. Lock charges at Alan, but Alan leapfrogs him, and Lock runs right at Arelas, who uses Lock’s momentum to hurl him over the ropes and crashing through the table! Arelas stares at Lock for a moment, then turns around, and Alan lifts him onto his shoulders next to the table for Human Wreckage, but Arelas floats off and lifts Alan right into the Eternal Slam, driving him right through the table!

Winners: Creative Control to become the Tag Team Champions

Covert Jay: Dragon victory!

Mister Mav: Arelas, acting on pure instinct, just put the Talk of the Town through a table, and he and Lock are the new champions!

The referee hands Arelas his new belt, and Arelas stares at it as the referee helps Lock up at ringside and gives him his half. Lock raises the title high with one arm as he heads up the ramp, and Arelas stares at him as he slowly steps out himself. Lock celebrates on the stage as Arelas again stares at the title on the bottom of the ramp, meanwhile Alan cradles Firestar at ringside, staring with vicious anger at Arelas.

A video package featuring Judas Priest's Burn in Hell plays to the highlights of the feud between Metalhead Matt Marauder and Xecutioner.  As the introduction is played, scenes of Triple M and X in cohesion are shown, followed by their dual domination in the ring, ending with them embracing in the ring with the tag team titles in their possession. Xecutioner's interference and betrayal of Triple M costs him the LWF Title against CoolJ. Xecutioner rams the ambulance through the fence and down the hill.  It explodes and no sign of life escapes it. Xecutioner shoots Triple M with the flame gun and lights his shirt on fire. As the music picks up, shots of their battles are shown.  Matt Marauder sends Xecutioner through the window.  Xecutioner sends Triple M through the door.  Triple M hits the Fallen Angel 450 Splash on Xecutioner from behind, sacrificing the tag team titles for revenge.  Xecutioner delivers a Demanufacturer to Metalhead Matt. The shot of the exploding ambulance is shown, followed by Xecutioner being led off by the police officers with a triumphant smile.  Briefly we see the tribute to Matt Marauder in memory of his death.  Matt Marauder makes a shocking return at LockMania. Matt Marauder shows the burns and scars on his chest.  Xecutioner is given a crescent kick through the glass.  Matt Marauder tries to hurl Xecutioner into the inferno, but he floats out and gives the superkick to Triple M sending him into it instead. Now it's a guitar solo and the images come fast, Triple M and Xecutioner beating the hell out of each other over the course of 3 or 4 months.  It slows down again with Xecutioner shooting the flames and lighting Triple M on fire. Xecutioner is in the ring with the mic, but the lights go out and the words appear on the screen.  The explosion occurs and the lights return as Xecutioner is lying bloody in the ring. The package ends with Xecutioner and Metalhead Matt Marauder staring each other down in the ring, both men intense enough to explode.

Matt Marauder versus Xecutioner

Burn in Hell Match

Three sides of the ring, the exception being the side where the ramp is, erupt in flames. Where Evil Dwells hits to strong heat as the stage erupts, as Xecutioner appears. He walks down the ramp and climbs up on the apron, then steps over the ropes into the ring.

Mister Mav: Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve wondering for weeks what this Burn in Hell match was going to be, and it turns out it will be a match fought under normal LWF No Disqualification rules with pinfalls and submissions, but the ring shall be surrounded by flames, creating a dangerous and volatile environment for the competitors in the ring.

Covert Jay: I’ve been looking forward to this all night.

Mister Mav: You’ve been looking forward to the decisive end of this epic feud?

Covert Jay: You’ll see.

Fallen Angel hits to a mixed reaction, and Triple M, appears on the titantron and descends to the stage, a focused look on his face.

Mister Mav: Triple M has always been one of the most hated men in LWF without exception, but over the past couple months during his battles with Xecutioner, it seems as though there are a pocket of fans that have taken to him, and are rooting for him to finally settle the score with Xecutioner. This is an important match for Triple M, who after a very successful year in 2003 has yet to win a match on Pay-Per-View in 2004.

Moments after Triple M enters the ring, the final side of the ring is enveloped in flames. Triple M glances back at the flames for a moment, then both men look around the ring before locking eyes. The bell rings to start the match as they meet in the center, and a brawl erupts. They exchange blows, and Triple M starts to overpower Xecutioner and battle him back, but Xecutioner catches him with a knee to the chest, then lifts him into a gutbuster. Triple M rolls away, holding his chest, and as he starts to get up Xecutioner shoves him into the corner. Xecutioner pounds away on Triple M, then goes to whip him across the ring, but Triple M reverses it and Xecutioner crashes into the corner. He staggers out, and Triple M lifts him into a powerslam, then hooks the leg, but Xecutioner kicks out at one.

Mister Mav: Are you roasting marshmallows?

Covert Jay: A ninja loves his marshmallows.

Triple M tries to cover again right away, but Xecutioner grabs him by the throat and rolls over, pinning Triple M against the mat and violently choking him. The referee tries to get Xecutioner to break the hold, and Xecutioner shoves the ref away, inadvertently releasing Triple M, who gasps for air. Xecutioner stands over Triple M, then pulls him to the side of the ring by the head, and pushes Triple M’s head through the ropes, towards the flames. Triple M tries to pull his head back and they struggle, until Triple M swings back with an elbow and knocks Xecutioner away. Xecutioner rolls away as Triple M darts back from the flames, still holding his throat, and Xecutioner rises back to his feet. He goes after Triple M, but Triple M quickly gets to his feet and hits a spinning back crescent kick, knocking Xecutioner down. Triple M tries to put Xecutioner into the Liontamer, but Xecutioner kicks him away. Triple M staggers back as Xecutioner gets back up, and Triple M charges at him, but Xecutioner grabs him by the throat, then lifts him into an overhead press. Xecutioner approaches the side of the ring, staring into the flames, but Triple M floats off, and as Xecutioner turns around Triple M kicks him in the chest, then DDTs him and tries to put Xecutioner into his own Linchpin, but Xecutioner squirms out of it and rolls away, then holds his head.

Mister Mav: Can I have one?

Covert Jay: No! I can’t spare any.

Mister Mav: You’ve got an entire bag there.

Covert Jay: How do you know it isn’t an illusion? I’ll have to eat them all to be certain, and I’d feel something awful if I gave you one and it turned out to be an illusionary marshmallow.

Xecutioner slowly staggers to his feet, dazed, and Triple M charges at him, but Xecutioner sidesteps him and hurls Triple M over the ropes, but Triple M is able to grab the top rope and uses his momentum to roll back in, but his other arm went through the flames and has caught fire! Triple M screams and waves his arm as Xecutioner sneers, but Triple M suddenly lunges at him, thrusting the flaming arm right into Xecutioner’s chest, and Xecutioner’s shirt catches fire! Triple M beats his arm on the mat and puts out the fire, then holds his arm in pain, but Xecutioner’s entire shirt has been enveloped in flames! Xecutioner stops, drops, and rolls, and after a few moments he puts out the fire, but Xecutioner is lying in the center of the ring, in obvious pain. Triple M goes to the top rope, trying not to use the injured arm, and leaps for the Fallen Angel Splash, and as he connects on Xecutioner the flames around the ring burn even brighter and higher for the briefest of moments. Triple M hooks the leg, one, two, three!

Winner: Triple M via Pinfall

The flames near the ramp go out, clearing a path out of the ring, and Triple M rolls out. He crouches on one knee for several seconds, catching his breath, then stands and stares at Xecutioner. Triple M leans under the apron and pulls out a casket to a roar from the crowd, and Xecutioner still hasn’t moved. Triple M rolls back into the ring, and drags Xecutioner to the side of the ring, then pushes him out into the casket. Triple M rolls out of the ring and slams the casket shut, then pulls a plank of wood out from under the ring, and lights an end of it in the still raging flames. Triple M raises the wood overhead for a few seconds, then touches it to the casket, lighting it on fire. The casket is quickly enveloped in flames, and a camerashot shows the burning casket in the foreground with Triple M standing behind it, and Triple M slowly turns his back on the casket and walks up the ramp.

BACKSTAGE

Lone Wolf is trashing the New Blood locker room when Red Fusion comes in.

Red Fusion: Chill out, man. Don’t worry about it, because the New Blood is still ripping stuff up. Starting tomorrow night, you and I together are taking this place by storm, but now you’ll have to excuse me, because Dr. K is about to find out that the Pain Train is coming through.

Red Fusion leaves the room for his match.

Replays are shown of the end of the Burn in Hell Match.

Havok Title Match

Doctor K © versus Red Fusion

Barbwire Match

In Time by Mark Collie hits to a loud pop, and Red Fusion walks out from backstage as red smoke appears around him, a focused look on his face. Red Fusion raises his fist, then starts walking down the ramp. He eyes the ropes on the ring, replaced with barbwire, and gingerly steps into the ring, nicking himself in the side as he steps in. He winces in pain.

Mister Mav: Folks, that last match may have been brutal, but we’re about to unleash a new meaning of pain here. Never before have we seen a match with the potential for viciousness as what we are about to see, as even the very ropes of the ring have been replaced with barbwire, and this could get very ugly.

Covert Jay: That’s what we paid for, isn’t it?

Mister Mav: You paid to get in here?

Covert Jay: Didn’t you?

Piggy Pie hits to loud heat, and Doctor K walks down the ramp, the Havok Title around his waist. Dr. K raises his fist in the air as he arrives at ringside, a gloved fist, and he climbs onto the apron and firmly grasps the barbwire, lifting it so that he can step in unscathed.

Covert Jay: Um, ouch?

Mister Mav: Dr. K is wearing specially designed gloves that are protecting his hands from the barbwire! Dr. K is able to grasp the barbwire, and I think Red Fusion just realized he may he gotten in over his head!

Covert Jay: Ha, sucks for him. A ninja should always come prepared.

Red Fusion backs away from Dr. K for a moment, then lunges at him, but Dr. K kicks him in the gut, then hits a clubbing blow to his back that knocks him down. Dr. K lifts Red Fusion onto his shoulder and goes for a running powerslam, but Red Fusion floats off the back and shoves Dr. K into the corner, and Dr. K uses his gloves to grab the barbwire ropes and avoid slamming into the corner. Dr. K picks up a two by four wrapped in barbwire that is sitting on top of the turnbuckle, then turns around and approaches Red Fusion. Dr. K swings the weapon, but Red Fusion ducks it and lifts him into a fireman’s carry, and the two by four clatters away. Dr. K starts to get back up near the side of the ring, and Red Fusion charges for the Derailer, but Dr. K sidesteps it, and Red Fusion tries to slam on the brakes and waves his arms, trying to get his balance and stop his momentum from carrying him into the barbwire ropes. Dr. K gets behind him as Red Fusion steadies himself and takes a deep breath, and Dr. K dropkicks him from behind, and Red Fusion is knocked through the ropes to ringside!

Mister Mav: Red Fusion just got knocked through the barbwire ropes, his shirt looks torn and I see blood trickling from his chest, but that could have been a lot worse.

Covert Jay: Well, there is why he didn’t come prepared.

Mister Mav: What?

Covert Jay: A ninja does not bleed!

Red Fusion hesitates for a moment, taking a deep breath, then slides back into the ring, nicking his back on the bottom wire as he comes in. Fusion winces in pain, and gets up holding his back, and Dr. K lifts him into a hiptoss into a neckbreaker. Dr. K quickly covers, one, two, Red Fusion kicks out. Dr. K starts to pull Red Fusion up, but Red Fusion shoves him away, and Dr. K falls towards the ropes, grabs them to stop himself, but his momentum still takes his arm into the ropes and he cries out as it is torn open. Dr. K shakes his arm in pain, then angrily charges and spears Red Fusion down as he gets to his feet. Dr. K gets back up and picks up the two by four, blood running down his arm, and waves at Red Fusion to get up. Red Fusion is holding his chest, and he gets up and turns around, and Dr. K smacks him right in the face with the barbwire wrapped weapon! Red Fusion goes down hard, and Dr. K laughs and drops the wood. He pulls Red Fusion’s limp body up, his forehead busted open, and lifts him into a double underhook powerbomb. Dr. K covers Red Fusion, one, two, Red Fusion barely gets the shoulder up in time!

Mister Mav: Red Fusion just barely got the shoulder up! I thought he was finished.

Covert Jay: That’s an awful lot of liquid for a blood capsule.

Mister Mav: That’s because it isn’t a capsule, that’s the freaking point! He’s bleeding!

Covert Jay: Wait, what? Ewwww.

Dr. K looks stunned, but the expression fades into a sinister one, and he picks up the two by four and begins to unwrap the wire from around the wood. Red Fusion starts to stir, his face a crimson mask, and Dr. K steps behind him and wraps the wire around his neck. Red Fusion waves his arms as Dr. K laughs, and the referee gets right in Red Fusion’s face and asks him if he wants to give up.

Mister Mav: That wire is wrapped right around Red Fusion’s neck, and this match has got to be stopped!

Covert Jay: Hahaha!

Mister Mav: What in the hell is funny right now?

Covert Jay: You said it’s the point! He’s bleeding! He is bleeding because he was cut by the points! Good one!

Mister Mav: Um, thanks. Meanwhile, Red Fusion, just look at him! The fear is this poor kid’s eyes as the barbwire is wrapped around his throat, he’s got tears in his eyes, but if he opens his mouth to say anything that wire will cut in even deeper!

Dr. K laughs maniacally, but Red Fusion grabs the bare two by four with his hand and swings up with it, smashing Dr. K right below the belt! Dr. K crumbles to the mat as Red Fusion desperately unwraps the cord from around his neck, cutting open his hands, but Fusion doesn’t care as he gasps for air. Red Fusion slowly staggers up as Dr. K rises to his feet, grimacing in pain, and Dr. K swings for a clothesline, but Red Fusion ducks, then lifts him into his shoulders and into the Fuse-Box, slamming him right onto the barbwire that Dr. K was using to choke Fusion before! Red Fusion collapses on top of Dr. K, one, two, three!

Winner: Red Fusion via Pinfall to become the Havok Champion

Cross-Hemisphere Title Match

Diablo © versus Fear

The Diablow family is shown sitting at ringside.

Mister Mav: There is the Diablow family, whose house Fear accidentally heaved bricks at. Diablo bought tickets so that they could sit here at ringside tonight for this match.

Faint hits to strong heat, and Fear comes out from backstage and makes his way to the ring.

Mister Mav: Fear is trying to recapture tonight the title that he carried for six months.

Covert Jay: Six months? I don’t remember what I did six minutes ago.

Mister Mav: I do, and let’s just say our fans at home are happy we were showing a backstage scene.

Hells Bells hits to a strong pop, and Diablo walks out, the Cross-Hemisphere Title secured around his waist.

Mister Mav: Diablo has been very successful since his return, and…is somebody throwing popcorn at us?

Covert Jay: Yes, it’s very tasty.

Diablo hands the title to the referee, and the bell rings to begin the match. Fear charges at Diablo and swings for a clothesline, but Diablo ducks, kicks Fear in the chest, and hits a side slam. Diablo mounts Fear and starts punching him repeatedly in the face, until Fear grabs Diablo by the throat. Fear sits up and then stands, continuing to choke Diablo as he does it. Fear readies to lift Diablo, but Diablo catches him with a throat thrust. Fear is bent over in pain, then slowly staggers upright, and Diablo grabs him and connects with a powerslam. Diablo leaps into the air to drive his knee into Fear, but Fear rolls out of the way. Fear gets up and whips Diablo off the ropes, then floors him with a big boot. Fear pulls Diablo up for a Russian leg sweep, but Diablo elbows him away, the grabs Fear from behind and hits a neckbreaker. Diablo floats into the cover, one, two, Fear kicks out!

Mister Mav: Who is throwing popcorn at us?

Covert Jay: Are you looking a gift horse in the mouth?

Mister Mav: Stop eating that.

Diablo pulls Fear up and shoves him into the corner, then charges at hits a clothesline. He whips Fear across the ring and charges, but Fear leaps out of the corner and head butts him down. Diablo staggers to his feet, and Fear grabs him and hits a DDT. Fear goes to the top rope and leaps for the Meteor Press, but Diablo rolls out of the way and Fear crashes into the mat! Fear tries to get up, but Diablo grabs him and hurls him into the corner. Diablo charges and hits a clothesline, then backs off as Fear staggers out of the corner. Diablo lifts him into a gorilla press, then adjusts his hold and puts down one arm, and Diablo is pressing Fear with one arm!

Mister Mav: What a show of strength from Diablo! He just…okay, this is really annoying me. Who is doing this?

Diablo puts the other arm back up and slams Fear hard to the mat. Diablo pulls Fear up and whips him off the ropes into a spinebuster, slamming him hard to the mat. Diablo covers, one, two, Fear just barely gets his shoulder up! Diablo stands and slowly runs his thumb across his throat to a strong pop from the crowd, and Fear is struggling to get to his feet. He makes it up and staggers, and as he turns around Diablo scoops him for Hell’s Grasp, but Fear floats off the back! Fear kicks Diablo in the back of the knee and puts him into Millenial Decay! Diablo struggles and stretches, and he manages to grab hold of the ropes. Fear is forced to break the hold, and he argues with the referee for a moment, then charges at Diablo, and Diablo backdrops him to ringside!

Mister Mav: Hey, look over there!

Joshman is shown sitting near the announcers, throwing popcorn at them.

Covert Jay: Him! I am shamed and sickened! Hold on for a second, huttah!

There is a burst of smoke around the announce table and the area around it, and as it fades, Joshman has disappeared.

Mister Mav: Where did he go?

Covert Jay: Don’t ask.

Diablo and the referee have been distracted by the cloud of smoke as Fear staggers up in front of the Diablows, and Father Diablow suddenly leans over the barricade and smashes him in the back of the head with a brick! Fear goes down hard, and Diablo rolls out, unaware of what just happened. He pulls Fear up and rolls him into the ring, then climbs in himself. Fear starts to stagger up, very dazed, and Diablo lifts him into Hell’s Grasp! Diablo covers, one, two, three!

LWF Title Match

Psiko © versus CoolJ versus Emperor versus Iceman versus Phoenix versus Ruff Rabbi

King of the Hill Match

Forest hits to a mighty pop, and Ruff Rabbi walks out from backstage and makes his way down the ramp. He leap frogs over the top rope into the ring as the blue pyros explode along the ramp, and raises his title to the crowd before handing it to the referee.

Mister Mav: Ruff Rabbi has been very successful in this, his first month back to LWF after over a year’s absence, and he made his return last month at Lockmania in the Havok Open as a former champion. In 2002, Ruff Rabbi was a finalist at Outlast, and many were predicting big things in this young man’s future.

The white stage pyro blows as Battle Without Honor or Humanity hits to strong heat. Iceman appears in the fog on the stage and makes his way to ringside.

Covert Jay: Hail teacher! One would be wise to learn from such a master.

Mister Mav: Iceman has indeed began viewing himself as a teacher of sorts, but he has also unleashed a vicious temper as of late, and the Iceman that we have seem in the past several months is not at all the same Iceman that we had known in the previous over two and a half years.

The Fight Song hits to a strong pop, and CoolJ struts down the ramp to the ring.

Mister Mav: CoolJ, himself the LWF Champion as recently as Lockmania, has had a very difficult month since. He was in and out of the hospital, the target of multiple assaults by the Regime. He is one of two men in this match that participated in the original King of the Hill match last year at Resurrection.

Covert Jay: Wait, this isn’t the first King of the Hill match?

Mister Mav: Nope.

Covert Jay: Bollocks.

Greed hits to a mixed reaction, and Emperor marches down the ramp and climbs into the ring. He stands on all four turnbuckles and stares into the crowd, as the other three already in the ring stare at him.

Mister Mav: And there is the person that was the winner in that first King of the Hill, Emperor, and he has to be considered a favorite to come out on top in this match, and he certainly declared his intent to do as much this past week on Lockdown.

Covert Jay: We shall see, Mav. We shall see.

Mister Mav: Indeed.

Rise hits to a tremendous pop, and Phoenix rises from the flames to the stage. He walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring, looking at each of his opponents.

Mister Mav: Phoenix is the only four time LWF Champion in history, but it has been well over a year since he held that prize, and Phoenix is seeking to extend his record and achieve a fifth reign here tonight.

No More Mister Nice Guy hits to massive heat, and Psiko walks out to the stage. He slowly makes his way down the ramp, pausing along the way at times to tease members of the crowd, as his five opponents await his arrival in the ring.

Mister Mav: This will be Psiko’s first defense of the LWF Title on Pay-Per-View, and it could very easily be his last, as Commissioner Arelas has levied seemingly impossible odds against him, the King of the Hill Match, and the rules of this match are simple. Whichever of these six men is able to physically spend the most time in the ring at the end of the match will be declared the winner, and the new LWF Champion!

The referee takes the LWF Title from Psiko and holds up it with both hands in the center of the ring, then hands it to an official at ringside and the bell rings to start the match. The competitors erupt on each other right away, with Phoenix battling Emperor, CoolJ battling Psiko, and Ruff Rabbi battling Iceman. Iceman shoves Ruff Rabbi into the corner and pounds on him with right hands as Phoenix brawls with Emperor and overpowers him, backing him into the ropes. Psiko swings at CoolJ for a clothesline, but CoolJ sidesteps it and goes for a Shader, but Psiko shoves him away. CoolJ runs into the ropes, and Psiko grabs him from behind and tries to force him over, but CoolJ resists and struggles against him. Phoenix has Emperor against the ropes, but Emperor catches Phoenix with a knee to the chest. Emperor goes to whip Phoenix across the ring, but then pulls him back and hurls him over the ropes, but Phoenix grabs the top rope and his momentum rolls him back into the ring as Emperor turns away. Emperor walks over and says something to Psiko, who lets CoolJ fall back into the ring. Psiko pulls him up and he and Emperor whip CoolJ off the far ropes, then together deliver a double flapjack, dropping CoolJ chest first onto the ropes, and CoolJ tumbles to ringside. Emperor turns away right into a superkick from Phoenix, and tumbles through the ropes to ringside. Psiko backs several steps away, and he and Phoenix stare each other down as the crowd is hot, and Psiko taunts Phoenix, but Iceman suddenly clubs Phoenix down from behind. Iceman stomps away on Phoenix as Psiko goes to where Ruff Rabbi is lying in the corner and starts to pull him up, but Ruff Rabbi shoves him away, then kicks him in the chest and lifts him into a release capture suplex. Ruff Rabbi gets to his feet, then pulls Psiko up and hurls him over the ropes, but Psiko lands on the apron and steps back into the ring. Psiko shouts at Ruff Rabbi, and Ruff Rabbi charges at him, but Psiko backdrops him over the ropes, dumping him to ringside. Iceman pulls Phoenix up and whips him off the ropes, then hits a Lou Thesz press. Iceman bounces off the ropes himself, but Phoenix kips up, and grabs Iceman by the head as he comes off the ropes, using his momentum to hurl him over the ropes to ringside, but Psiko dropkicks Phoenix from behind, knocking him through the ropes to ringside himself as Emperor slides back into the ring.

Mister Mav: A dominant performance thus far by the champion, but tensions could explode here as Emperor comes back into the ring!

Emperor turns around, and Phoenix catches him with a superkick right to the face, flipping Emperor over the top rope, and he lands dazed on his feet at ringside.

Iceman goes to pull Phoenix up, but Phoenix punches him in the chest, then chops him hard in the solar plexes. Iceman swings for a clothesline, but Phoenix ducks it, then lifts Iceman for Rise No More, but Iceman shoves him away at the last moment, and Phoenix comes off the ropes into a Lou Thesz Press from Iceman, and Iceman hits the Freezing Point!

Mister Mav: Psiko is busy keeping CoolJ trapped outside of the ring in the People’s Punishment, but the champion is going to need to get back in the ring soon if he wants to keep his title, because Phoenix is building a heavy lead!

CoolJ tries to scoot out of the way and go unnoticed by Ruff Rabbi, and it works for the moment as Ruff Rabbi is standing over Emperor and staring down at him. Phoenix is brawling with Psiko and herding him up the ramp and away from the ring.

Mister Mav: Lock is demanding Regime unity and telling Emperor to help Psiko, but Emperor will have none of it! Emperor is behind, but he still has a chance to win this himself if he stays in the ring, meanwhile Phoenix is just trying to keep Psiko out of it!

Winner: Psiko to retain the LWF Title

Mister Mav: Psiko retains! Psiko retains! But by gawd, if Lock hadn’t showed up, I’d go so far as to say that any of the others might have pulled it off! It looks as though we’ve seen the last of Emperor in the Regime! Psiko is the King of the Hill, but he sure as hell doesn’t look like one! And damn Lock, you’ve gotta believe his new co-champion partner, Commissioner Arelas, will have something to say about this tomorrow night!

Covert Jay: We’re running a minute or so short, aren’t we?

Mister Mav: I’m trying to remedy that! So whatever you do, whoever you are, don’t you dare miss, Warzone!
