~TWF Logo Flashes across the screen~
***A long white stretch limo pulls up outside the ALLTELL Arena. We see “The Original” Justin Morris pop out of the other side. He gets out and stretches and slings his duffle bag over his shoulder. Suddenly a Taxi pulls up next to the limo to a screaching halt next to the limo. Brent Nelson hops out, throws an American bill through the passenger door. Brent walks over to Morris a bit irate.***
Brent Nelson: “What the hell man! I thought you were sending the limo to pick me up?”
Justin Morris: “Sorry man I forgot the address. I left a message at your hotel.”
Brent Nelson: “Whatever let’s go inside.”
***Fade Out***
**The arena lights go dark. "Bodies" by Drowning Pool roars from the arena speakers. The sellout crowd is on its feet, hollering and screaming as the camera pans across the arena. Various signs are seen in the crowd**
"YOU'RE FIRED!"
"Pay the Piper while Paying for your Sins!"
"Hey Bladz. Puff, puff, give!"
"Me+Sharon+Cameron=Good Times"
"Untouchables Rule!"
"F the EOD!"
**Fireworks go off, as the pyrotechnic show on the stage turns the entire arena into a spectrum of colors. The camera pans once more across the front row seats, as the fans continue to stand, screaming as the camera catches them on television. The camera then switches to a close up of the announce team of Nick Page and Shawna Johnson**
Nick Page: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the ALLTELL Arena here in Little Rock, Arkansas for tonight's edition of Sunday Night Rising. I'm Nick Page, and I'm joined as always, with the lovely Shawna Johnson."
Shawna Johnson: "Thanks Nick, always a pleasure."
Nick Page: "It looks like two members of the EoD can’t seem to get on the same page. They’ll have to set their frustrations aside because tonight will start the unprecedented decision for the TWF World Title that they happen to be involved in as a team. President Starr has decided to make this tournament special by randomly pairing teams to fight their way to the finals. The winning team will them square off against one another for the most prized trophy in sports entertainment, The World Title!“
Shawna Johnson: “Raven has really shown in the past week that he is dedicated to the TWF. He has been making some good decisions and hiring new talent. I heard that one of his new guys might make an appearance here tonight.“
Nick Page: “That should be interesting. We are on the verge of our next pay per view which will take place next Thursday in Detroit Michigan. Well this show is underway lets go to the backstage. I hear there is something going on.“
***The scene opens with Shawn Stevens knocking on an open door of President Starr as he walks in. Raven looks up and acknowledges Stevens presence.***
Shawn Stevens: “Um. You wanted to see me?”
President Starr: “Yes I did. It seems that you made quite the impact last week on Rising.”
Shawn Stevens: “Well yeah.”
President Starr: “Well enough of this namby pampy bullsh*t! Tonight I have a job for you. I matched you up against Sean Ferguson. I want you to go out there and annihilate that son of a b*tch!”
Shawn Stevens: “Don’t worry man. I got it under control. I’m a legend!”
President Starr: “Listen Sunshine! Tonight you are starting over. You want to call yourself a legend, then dammit you prove it out there in that ring!”
Shawn Stevens: “You want annihilation? You got it!”
President Starr: “Then get your ass out there!”

Ring Announcer: “This match is scheduled for one fall. First introducing from Woodstown, New Jersey. Weighing in at 247lbs. Sean Ferguson!”
Ring Announcer: “And his opponent …Shawn Stevens!”
Nick Page: Shawn Stevens is not wasting any time here folks. He is all over Ferguson with a flurry of punches and knife edge chops. I guess Raven really got to Stevens before this match! Stevens has Ferguson backed up into the corner and now pushing his face back and taunting him.”
Shawna Johnson: “This guy has flipped out. It’s kinda sexy!”
Nick Page: “Stevens slaps Ferguson in the face and now sends him into the other turnbuckle. Ferguson hits hard and slumps down. Stevens charges in now. Ferguson leaps up and tries to attempt a sunset flip, but Stevens caught him. He’s got him over his shoulders and holding onto his legs. Stevens spins around and viciously whips Ferguson over and to the mat. I think he knocked the wind out of him with that move.”
Shawna Johnson: “This guy is so ruthless! But remember Nick, this is only Sean Ferguson. I mean he not much of a challenge. Look Nick, Kirk Visconty is coming down”
Shawna Johnson: “Kirk are you going to help us call this match?”
Pied Piper: “You can call it that. I just wanted to get real up close for this match.. Good thing they put him on early in the show... The ratings might not suffer to bad. Note, I said might." ”
Nick Page: “Welcome Kirk, this is quite an onslaught by Stevens. He is really showing how talented his now in that ring. That’s for sure. Steven now reaching down and pulling Ferguson to his feet by his hair. He’s got him up and kicks him right in the groin!”
Shawna Johnson: “The referee Scott Van Loewen was out of position to see that.”
Nick Page: “Well no matter the position Ferguson can only pray to get an advantage over this guy now. Ferguson is bent over holding his groin, Steven straddles his neck, grabs the back of Sean’s tights and drives him into the mat with a pulling piledriver. Steven’s hops to his feet and now looking over at you Kirk. He just said that this next move is for you!”
Shawna Johnson: “I wonder what that means?”
Pied Piper: “Who cares! This IDJIT couldn't whip cream!"
Nick Page: “Well we all know that you two have a history from a past wrestling promotion. Stevens hauls Ferguson up to his feet, pulls him head down and mocks hip thrusts into his face.”
Shawna Johnson: “Ewww that’s gross!”
Pied Piper: “Wow, looks like nothing has changed with Stevens!”
Nick Page: “He now straddles his neck again and walks him close to the edge of the ropes. He now mocks smoking a cigarette and putting it out on Ferguson’s back. He lifts him up for a powerbomb and heaves him over the top rope and to concrete floor! MY GAWWD!!”
Shawna Johnson: “Did you see that? Sean Ferguson hit hard and just crumbled under his own weight.!”
Pied Piper: “Well this is more than enough Stevens to last me another three years. I am outta here before I get sick to my stomach.”
Shawna Johnson: “That Piper is so charismatic! Oh yeah there is a match going on. I almost forgot! Ha ha”
Nick Page: “Ferguson has yet to make any type of movement. I sure hope he is ok. That was the most heinous thing that I have seen in a while! That Stevens is just plain sick! Referee Van Loewen has counted Ferguson out and he asks for the bell”
Shawna Johnson: “I don’t think he is okay, Nick. He hasn’t moved this whole time.”
Ring Announcer: Here is you winner. SHAWN STEEEEEVENS!!”
Nick Page: “We need the paramedics out here now!”
***”Feel So Numb” erupts through the arena and Raven Starr makes his way down the ramp with some papers in his hand. as Ferguson is being wheeled up.***
President Starr: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold him right there.”
President Starr: “That has got to be one the most pathetic showings that I have ever seen. You didn’t even get one move off! Have you ever heard the saying that when it rains it pours?”
President Starr: “Well my friend this is just going to be one of those days for you.”
President Starr: “That’s your contract, Fergy. I don’t want to see you or that damn thing for as long as I live! Get him out of here guys.”
Nick Page: “He has just fired Sean Ferguson! Now many is that since he took over, five? He is really cleaning house around here.”
Shawna Johnson: “He is so mean. Ferguson has to make a living.”
***The scene opens backstage with “The Franchise” Johnny Hawke standing next to the buffet table backstage. Hawke is sipping on a cup of coffee as he spots “The Original” Justin Morris walking towards him. Justin walks towards him with a smirk on his face.***
Justin Morris: “The Franchise huh?”
Johnny Hawke: “Yeah, you have a problem man?”
Justin Morris: “Not really but it seems that YOU do. A problem with getting a win around here.”
Johnny Hawke: “It was one match. Wait and see what happens to Matt Keith tonight!”
Justin Morris: “Probably the same result as last week. A humiliating LOSS!”
***Fade out***
Ring Announcer: “This match is scheduled for one fall and is for the TWF Television Championship. Introducing first from San Antonio, Texas. Weighing in at 225lbs. “THE FRANCHISE” JOHNNY HAWKE!”
Ring Announcer: “And his opponent from Venice Beach, California. Weighing in at 225lbs and being accompanied to the ring by Cameron. The TWF Television Champion. MATT KEITH!”
"Get up; come on get down with the sickness"
"Get up; come on get down with the sickness"
"Get up; come on get down with the sickness"
"Open up your hate, and let it flow into me."
"Get up; come on get down with the sickness."
Cameron steps out from behind the curtain wearing a pink mini skirt outfit trying to rally the fans behind her man but without any success because as soon as Matt steps out from behind the curtain the fans damn near boo the roof down. Matt has on his usual ring attire toped off with a pair of blue lens designer sunglasses and his TV title is strapped around his waist, in his hand is that Singapore cane that has become his trademark weapon of choice. Matt makes his way down the ramp with his arm around Cameron and the fans are still not letting up on the boos they are really showing the duo how much they hate them. Once ringside Matt enters the ring via the second rope and holds the bottom rope for Cameron the men in the arena are going nuts. "The Innovator of Coolness" climbs up to the second rope and un-straps his title belt then thrusts it into the air with his Singapore cane so that all can see he is the Television Champion.***
Nick Page: "That boy is full of himself."
Shawna Johnson: "Yeah well Nick he does have the talent to back it up."
Nick Page: "True, but in any case this will be an extraordinary match."
Shawna Johnson: “You got that right Nick."
Nick Page: “The ref calls for the bell to get the match started. Hawke and Matt tie up, but Matt with his quickness gives Hawke a kick to the gut. Matt hooks him and delivers a snap suplex. Matt goes to pick up Hawke by the hair, but Hawke is one step ahead and nails a drop toe hold. Hawke goes for an elbow but Matt rolls out of the way, Hawke comes crashing to the ground and Matt jumps over and locks a crippler crossface on Hawke.”
Shawna Johnson: “Wow, Matt Keith is showing no mercy towards Hawke."
Nick Page: “Hawke makes it to the ropes, causing Matt to break the hold. Matt jumps up and starts to lay the boots into Hawke, but the ref pushes Matt off of Hawke. Hawke gets to his feet and staggers to a corner. Matt goes for a splash but Hawke moves and Matt eats nothing but turnbuckle. Hawke drops down and rolls up Matt in a school boy roll up, but only gets a short two count.”
Shawna Johnson: "Hawke is up and is laying the boots into the sides of Matt."
Nick Page: “Hawke picks up Matt and slams him hard into the turnbuckle and starts to throw wild punches. But Matt blocks one of Hawke's wild punches and gives Hawke a thumb to the eye. Matt puts Hawke in a headlock, then he spins around and lays Hawke out with a high angle German suplex. Matt puts Hawke into position as he climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits a flying Corkscrew Body Press Suicida, which nails Hawke perfectly. This could be over right here. Matt goes for a pinfall, but amazingly Hawke kicks out at two. Matt can't believe it. He gets frustrated, which throws him off his guard. Out of nowhere Hawke hits Matt with a vicious spear. Both men lay motionless on the ground. Hawke throws his hand over Matt's chest. The ref goes for a count but Hawke only gets a two count. Hawke is the first to his feet. He grabs Matt and delivers a backbreaker and holds him in place. Matt is screaming in pain. Now that is painful just to look at it. Hawke drops Matt, Hawke staggers to a corner and tries to catch his breath, but Cameron jumps on the apron.”
Shawna Johnson: "Wait what is Cameron doing on the apron?"
Nick Page: "I don't know but it doesn't look good for Hawke. A better question is who is that man that just came through the apron and watching this match! “
Nick Page: “The ref tries to get Cameron off of the ring apron. but Matt gets his Singapore Cane and lays out Hawke with it, Cameron drops off the apron and Matt goes for the pin. Hawke puts his foot on the ropes when the ref's hand comes down for the three. The ref stops and lets the match continue. Matt can't believe it. Hawke gets up and is fighting back with huge blows to Matt's stomach, but Matt just shakes them off then he whips him into the ropes and executes a spinebuster."
Shawna Johnson: “Ouch!”
Nick Page: “Hawke lays motionless on the canvas, Matt Keith walks over and pins him with his pinky finger. Hawke grabs Matt's arm and locks in a crossface of his own! Matt tries to reach for the ropes but Hawke puts on more torque. Finally Hawke lets go and puts a boot right in the back of Matt's head. What a great match this turned out to be."
Shawna Johnson: "That’s right Nick. Who is that guy just standing up on the apron?"
Nick Page: “I have no clue. Maybe it’s the new guy that Raven signed. Back to the match though. Hawke picks up Matt by the hair, Matt hits a low blow. He then drapes Hawke across the second rope. He climbs the top turnbuckle and comes crashing down across Hawke's chest with a leg drop. Matt gets up and tries to rally the crowd, Cameron walks over and starts to slap Hawke, but Hawke grabs Cameron's hand and pulls her close to him and he plants a huge kiss right on Cameron's lips. Matt finally notices that Cameron is in trouble, he goes to grab Hawke, but Hawke picks up Matt for the "Texas Breaker. We might just have a new TV Champ crowned soon."
Shawna Johnson: “I hope not!”
Nick Page: “Hawke goes to drop Matt but he lands on his feet and he's still holding Hawke's neck, then in one motion he drops Hawke with the Deadly Device, cover”
Nick Page: “Matt successfully defended his title here on Rising against Johnny Hawke.”
Ring Announcer: “Here is your winner. MAAAAT KEEEIIITH“
Matt Keith: “You know what? This is getting ridicules week in week out I step into this ring with some ass clown that has this notion that he will win. Then look what happens… being it Triple Six or Johnny Hawke I don't even break a damn sweat. This match that all of you hicks got to see was not even a decent workout; it was a waste of time even for you rednecks in this hole in the wall town."
Nick Page: "Wow Matt looks really pissed off."
Shawna Johnson: “Wouldn't you if you keep getting matches with guys like Johnny Hawke?"
Matt Keith: "This title right here is the title all up and coming superstars in the back want because they know it takes you up the ladder and just a few steps closer to something bigger. And there is not one person back there that can give me a decent challenge for it."
Matt Keith: "I thought that after all of the talk from the big bad Franchise that finally this would not end up being a total waste of my time like all my other matches. But it has, so having said that I think it's time for a change I think its time for me to make a statement that will be engraved in your minds forever."
Shawna Johnson: "What do you think he meant by that?"
Nick Page: "I don't have a clue but knowing how Keith operates it won't be good for someone."
Unknown Man: "Tap you little bitch! Scream! Squeal for me!"
President Starr: “There I was in the back reviewing your promo and to my dismay you had some harsh words to say bout me. You had the gall to say something bad about the TWF President, your boss! Now maybe I’ve been smoking that stuff that you elude to. Hell, I might even be hallucinating, but it looks like I just had someone put you in your place!”
President Starr: “Ladies and Gentlemen. The newest addition to the TWF roster, “The Systematic Assassin” Logan Treasure!”
Nick Page: “President Starr has a hired gun and he took just took out our TWF Television Champion!
***The scene opens backstage with Raven Starr walking down a hallway with Logan Treasure. Raven pats him on the back and they go their separate ways. Raven eyes a beautiful woman and motions for her to follow him. She is wearing a short brown skirt, high heels, and a white top. She has a few papers in her hand and then hand them to Raven. They come across a Meeting Room and enter through the door. In the room we see TWF Staff interviewers and referees. Duncan Carter, Carl Everton, Jeff Johnson, Luiz Mendez, along will all others. Raven Starr spots Rebecca Winters and makes his way towards her.***
President Starr: “Hey Rebecca.”
Rebecca Winters: “Hello Raven! Congratulations on your promotion!”
President Starr: “Thank you. Can you give me a hand here.”
Rebecca Winters: “Sure, anything. What do you need help with?”
President Starr: “I am looking for Manuel Dennis.”
Rebecca Winters: “Oh Manuel? He just got here. He is one of the interviewers here in the TWF.”
President Starr: “Really? How come I have never seen him?”
Rebecca Winters: “Umm I don’t know he isn’t around that much anymore. But he’s here tonight.”
President Starr: “Good. Show me to him please. Oh by the way Rebecca this is Missy Lopez she is a new addition to the TWF Interviewing Staff.”
President Starr: “Whoa, whoa, whoa….”
President Starr: “Who are you and what do you think you are doing?”
Manuel Dennis: “Uhem. I am Manuel Dennis and I am unpacking my stuff. I am going to do interview after the show.”
President Starr: “Really? That’s funny. I have never seen you before.”
Manuel Dennis: “Oh but I have been in this line of work for a long time.”
President Starr: “Well that’s a shame.”
President Starr: “You’re Fired! I’d like you to meet your replacement, Missy Lopez.”
Manuel Dennis: “Oh my! I can’t believe this.”

Ring Announcer: “This match is scheduled for one fall and will determine the number one contender to the Generation Championship Title. Introducing first from Melbourne Australia. Weighing in at 215lbs and being accompanied to the ring by Sharon. ROMEO!”
Ring Announcer: “Introducing next from Tampa Florida. Weighing in at 305lbs. JACK BLADZ!”
Ring Announcer: “Finally introducing from Los Angeles, California. Weighing in at 234lbs. ADAM KRAGER!”
Nick Page: “I still can't get over that attack on Johnny Hawke? I guess Morris doesn’t take too kindly to new guys around here.”
Shawna Johnson: “No kidding. I wonder what kind of effect that will have on Hawke’s match later on tonight.”
Nick Page: “Time will tell. Right now we’ve got three men ready to do battle to get a chance to face Justin Morris for the Generation Championship. All three men pacing the ring and waiting for an opportunity. Krager looks at Bladz, Bladz looking at Romeo. This should be a good match here fans. Romeo runs at Bladz to get his started. Krager stands back as Romeo drives a forearm to the face of Bladz, backing him up against the ropes. Romeo whips Bladz into the ropes, Bladz with a reversal. Romeo into the ropes now. Bladz steps towards the middle of the ring, as does Krager. The two men catch Romeo around the waist, lift him up, and flapjacks him into the mat face first!”
Shawna Johnson: “Oh, my god! I hope they didn’t ruin his face!”
Nick Page: “Don’t worry Shawna. Bladz and Krager quick to their feet eyeball each other and then begin again to attack the fallen Romeo. Krager has Romeo up has him in a headlock and holds Romeo arm away from his side. This opens up the midsection. Bladz winds backs and kicks Romeo in the ribs. Krager swings him around and sends him into the mat with a DDT. Bladz follows up with a half crab.”
Shawna Johnson: “This looks more like a handicap match.”
Nick Page: “Yes they do. Bladz has Romeo tied up in that half crab and really pulling back on that leg. Krager sees an opportunity to get an advantage and sidekicks Bladz in the face. Bladz falls back and off of Romeo.”
Shawna Johnson: “This Krager is sooo vicious.”
Nick Page: “Krager lifts up Romeo and sends him through the ropes and to the outside. Bladz back up and clotheslines Krager over the ropes. All three men are on the outside now. Bladz has Krager and whips him against the guard rail. Bladz runs in at thin and is met with a boot to the face. Adam follows it up with a short clotheslines that flattens his opponent. He now stalk after Romeo who is up to a knee. Krager grabs him and slings him face first into the steel steps. The ref is laying the count on these guys.”
Shawna Johnson: “There three are going to blow their opportunity to get a title shot!”
Nick Page: “The ref is up to the count of nine. Romeo is laid out. Bladz is against the apron and slips in under the ropes. Krager slides in at the last second. The ref counts ten and Romeo is still out. Can a match end like this?”
Shawna Johnson: “I don’t know, Nick.”
Nick Page: “The referee is making a decision to eliminate Romeo from this contest and continue on with Bladz and Krager. Romeo and Sharon are exiting up the ramp. He looks pissed. Krager and Bladz now exchanging blows. Krager catches him with a knee lift and snap mare. Bladz is sitting up and Krager dropkicks him in the back of the head, really snapping his neck forward.”
Shawna Johnson: “Krager is going to paralyze someone one of these days. He almost did it to Raven and if he keeps it up on Bladz neck we might have another wrestler in office here in the TWF.“
Nick Page: “Krager back up and now going to the top rope! He is going airborne. Krager in the air and lands a leg drop across the chest of Bladz, cover. Only a two count. Bladz kicked out. Krager with a scoop slam followed by an elbow drop. Another cover…another two count. The two men take their time to get to their feet. Adam up, Bladz is up but hunched over. Krager runs up behind him and drives a clubbing arm across him back. Grabs his neck and pulls him backward for a reverse suplex. Bladz lands on his feet, holds onto Krager and plants him with a devastating scorpion death drop. Cover by Bladz. One..two…Kick out by Krager. Bladz back up stumbles against the ropes and tries to regain his balance. He points to the top rope he is signaling for his finisher, The Great Southern Trendkill.”
Shawna Johnson: “Both these men use the shooting star press. Will Bladz connect?”
Nick Page: “Bladz is up and Krager is positioned in place. Bladz leaps, Krager lifts his knees and catches Bladz in the midsection! Bladz writhing in pain. Krager now up. It looks like he was playing possum. Krager up on the top rope, he jumps...A-BOMB! He got it, cover”
Nick Page: “Adam Krager pulled off the last second win! He will face Justin Morris again for the Generation Championship real soon!”
Ring Announcer: “Here is your winner and number one contender to the Generation Championship. ADAAAM KRAAAGERRR!!!”
***The camera cuts backstage where we see a disheveled Devon Storm. He is wearing his, "Inferno would have kicked my ASS." T-shirt, that is half tucked in on one side. His jeans are stained with food and more than a little alcohol. He is carrying a bottle of Jose Cuervo Tradicional in one hand and dragging his IWF Undisputed Championship in the other. As he stumbles down the hall he is approached by security.***
Security: "Listen buddy, you're going to have to leave. This is a restricted area."
President Starr: Leave him be Tom, he's just a washed up drunk has-been. He can't hurt anyone.

Nick Page: "Up next is the match we’ve all been waiting for. It’s the first match in the TWF World Title Tournament set up by President Raven.”
Shawna Johnson: "And what a match to get us started! Apehead and KrANK versus EoD’s Heydon Hall and Shadowflare!”
Nick Page: "Here comes the first team now.”
Ring Announcer: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a first round, TWF World Title Tournament match. Coming first to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 440 lbs. . . .AAAAAAAPEHEAD AND K-RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!”
Ring Announcer: “Now making his way to the ring, weighing in at 248 lbs, accompanied by Angela and representing the eVe of Destruction, Former TWF World Champion HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYDON HAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!!!!!!!!!”
Ring Announcer: “Coming now to the ring, his partner, weighing in at 250 lbs, SHAAAAAAAAADOWFLAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!”
Nick Page: "Looks like Apehead’s getting this one underway with a bang. Apehead pulling Shad to his feet now and throwing him against the ropes. Apehead telegraphs and Shadowflare nails him in the face with kick. Apehead reels and Shadow whips Ape across the ring, Apehead comes back and Shadow levers him with a clothesline. Shadow reaches down for Apehead who kicks Shadow’s hands away and hops back to his feet. Both men look each other up and down as they begin to circle. They tie up and neither man can seem to get the advantage.”
Shawna Johnson: "This is looking to be quite the match. Shadowflare takes the advantage with a headlock takedown.”
Nick Page: "He keeps the hold and is choking Apehead, but Apehead quickly reverses by rolling over and forcing Shad to break the hold. Both men back up, Apehead now taking it to Shadowflare with hard right hands. Shadowflare is backed into the ropes and Apehead whips Shadow again, this time right into the corner. Apehead runs in for a monkey flip out of the corner but is met with a boot from Shadowflare. Apehead shakes it off and makes a quick tag to KrANK. Shadow takes a hint and looks to his own corner for a tag, but Heydon looks uninterested. Before Shadow can make the tag, KrANK is on him from behind with a stiff shot to the back of the head. Shadow falls into his own corner, slapping Heydon on the shoulder as he goes down.”
Shawna Johnson: "That’s quite some team work between those two-don’t they realize this is for the big prize?”
Nick Page: "Well the real question is whether or not the ref will allow the tag. It looks like he does and Heydon is in now, punching his way out of his corner. KrANK is reeling and Heydon hits a hammer throw clothesline on him, sending KrANK to the mat hard. KrANK rolls out of the way of an elbow drop by Heydon, hopping to his feet simultaneously with Heydon. KrANK kicks out at Heydon, pulling him into a DDT. Heydon is planted head first and KrANK rolls him into an armbar. Heydon reaches out, grabbing the ropes and the ref forces KrANK to drop the hold.”
Shawna Johnson: "What a match we’re having so far. It seems as if neither side can come up with an advantage.”
Nick Page: "That’s for sure, now Heydon whips KrANK into the ropes, KrANK comes back and is flipped over by a high knee. KrANK is up almost instantly as Heydon grabs him for a suplex. KrANK is down and Heydon follows, looking for a sleeper, but KrANK slips out of it before Heydon can get it locked in. KrANK is up and now looking for some offense. The two men are exchanging fists, neither coming up with the advantage. KrANK reaches out and whips Heydon over the nearby ropes and onto the outside. Heydon gets back to his feet and walks along the outside as KrANK tags in his partner Apehead”
Shawna Johnson: "Looks like this one could take a while-these teams are pretty evenly matched.”
Nick Page: "That is certainly true. Heydon in the ring now. He approaches Apehead is who is calmly waiting, but Heydon turns halfway there and returns to his corner, slapping Shadowflare’s hand where it rests on the turnbuckle. Shadowflare is reluctant to get in the ring as the ref forces Heydon out. Shad in now, Apehead charges, leveling Shad with a spear. Apehead back to his feet as Shadowflare sweeps them back out from under him. Shadowflare mounts Apehead, introducing Apehead’s face to his knuckles. Shadowflare hops up and pulls Apehead to his feet, going for a fisherman suplex and getting it. Apehead slow to his feet, Shadow approaches and goes to pull Apehead up who hits an uppercut, sending Shadowflare reeling. Apehead goes for a suplex of his own and when Shadowflare is down he heads to the turnbuckle, landing a second rope moonsault on Shadowflare. Apehead goes for the cover:
1. . . .
2. . . .
Kickout!
Apehead almost had it there, Shadow is up now and yelling at Heydon.”
Shawna Johnson: "I know these two guys don’t get along, but you’d think for the sake of the gold they could at least help each other out, break up a few pins here and there.”
Nick Page: "Shadowflare turns around only for Apehead to hit a hiptoss. Shad rolls through it, back to his feet and charges in, leveling Apehead with a side kick. Shadow pulls him back up, hitting the gut wrench powerbomb on Apehead. Apehead is rolls onto his stomach and Shadowflare hits an arm breaker to the prone Apehead. Shadow pulls Apehead up, and whips him into the corner with Heydon. Shadow runs in, leveling Apehead with a clothesline. Apehead is sitting in the corner as Shadowflare stomps on him Shadow reaches out to Heydon . . . and Heydon accepts the tag. Shadowflare holds down Apehead with his foot while Heydon climbs in the ring.”
Shawna Johnson: "Looks like those two are finally on the same page.”
Nick Page: "It certainly does. Heydon pulls Apehead up and nails a press slam, hoisting the smaller Apehead over his head. Heydon tosses him down and runs to the corner, knocking KrANK off the apron. Heydon turns around to find Apehead already on his feet and on the turnbuckle. Apehead hits a flying head scissors, flipping Heydon to the mat. Apehead pulls him back to his feet, suplexes him with a belly to belly and then runs to tag in KrANK.”
Shawna Johnson: "Both teams seem to be working well, trying to keep the fresh man in the ring.”
Nick Page: "It doesn’t look like KrANK enjoyed being knocked off the apron as he climbs the turnbuckle after getting his tag and hits a flying headbutt to Heydon. Both men are down and KrANK rolls over for a cover.
1. . .
tw-kickout!”
Shawna Johnson: "It’ll take more than that to hold down former World Champ Heydon Hall.”
Nick Page: "Possibly not much more as both men are slow to their feet. Heydon hits KrANK with some rights and lefts, KrANK fires back with a few of his own. Heydon is stunned and KrANK doubles him over with a kick to the gut. KrANK against the ropes, looking for a Rocker Dropper, but Shadowflare nails him in the back of the head with a kick. KrANK stumbles back towards Heydon who lifts KrANK up for the Hall of Pain. Heydon hooks the leg and goes for the cover. This could be it!
1. . .
2. . .
Apehead in now to break up the pin. The ref is ordering Apehead out of the ring while Heydon whips KrANK into the corner, tagging in Shadowflare. Shadowflare hits a standing side kick to KrANK, but the ref turns around, and didn’t see the tag. He’s now forcing Shadowflare out of the ring. Heydon back in and KrANK retaliates with a spear, driving Heydon down. KrANK pulls Heydon back up and hits the Bring Down, planting Heydon head first. KrANK starts “Krankin’ it up “ as he heads to the turnbuckle, looking for his patented shooting star press, knocking Shadowflare off the apron as he does. KrANK is airborne and finds no one home! Heydon Hall rolled out of the way just in the knick of time. Heydon to his knees and crawls to his corner, tagging in Shadowflare.”
Shawna Johnson: "Well, this match is certainly heating up!”
Nick Page: "Yes it is Shawna. Shadowflare pulls KrANK to his feet and hits the Panic Attack. KrANK is down-this has to be the end as Shadowflare goes for the cover:
1. . .
2. . .
Thr. . .kickout at the last second!
Shadowflare pulls KrANK to his feet, who comes up with a massive elbow to Shadowflare’s chin, buying just enough time to tag out to partner Apehead. Ape is in the ring now with a vengeance as he takes it to Shadowflare with hard rights, driving him into the ropes. Ape whips Shad across the ring, hitting a fallaway slam on him when he returns. Apehead does a quick pose before heading to the turnbuckle for the Apehead Splash. Apehead hits it, and goes for a quick cover. Heydon breaks it up before the ref can even count it. Heydon is forced out of the ring again, and Shadowflare slowly regains his feet. KrANK runs in, nailing Shadowflare with a low blow, giving Apehead enough time to get to his feet, the ref turns around and find Apehead, pulling Shadowflare up. Apehead whips Shadowflare and tries to say Goodnight Sweet Prince, but Shadowflare ducks the kick, hits the ropes and comes back off with a neckbreaker, driving Apehead down. Shadowflare goes for the cover:

KrANK makes the save and the ref turns to force him out as well. Shadow pulls Apehead up and takes him to the corner where he tags in Heydon. Shadow, instead of leaving the ring climbs the turnbuckle, taking Apehead with him, looking for the Darkness Turns to Light, top rope powerbomb. Heydon watches, locks around the falling head of Apehead and pulling him into a neckbreaker. The force of Heydon and Shadow driving Apehead into the mat looks to have knocked him unconscious. Shadow hops out of the ring and runs over to KrANK’s corner, pulling him off the apron as Heydon goes for the cover:
