("Testify" by Rage Against the Machine comes over the PA. The Circle of the Black Thorn emerge from behind the curtain and march to the ring. They enter and take microphones from their pockets and Shane Montez speaks first.)

(Shane Montez) So, I was sitting back relaxing this weekend when the phone rings. I pick it up and it is a friend of mine telling me that Synyster is on the Rumor Rundown running his mouth about us. Good thing I TiVo everything wrestling. It gave me the chance to watch it and see what good old Syn had to lie about this time. So Mr. Production Guy, play the first clip.

(Clip starts playing.)

(Chris Cash) You must be talking about the situation with the Circle of the Black Thorn.

(Synyster) Of course. They are what they say they are and that's one big ass thorn in my side. It's really aggravating because they were my friends. I'm not going down some sob story angle with this whole thing so just bear with me. They were my friends for a long time. When BSY and myself opened PWR, it was going to be a different kind of experience, where people weren't going to get by on name alone. You were going to earn your spots. The New Blood are prime examples of that. Kros, Donovan and Kage have built their way to the top, because they work their asses off. They all have a shot to become singles champions this week. Guys like Flash, who will be challenging MJM for the World Championship this week on Full Throttle. He made it to the finals of the ID Tournament. He's a bright young star. Now we look at the Circle. They're all complaining because they haven't gotten the respect they feel they deserve. Call me crazy, but hasn't everyone in that stable pretty much already held a PWR Title?

(Clip ends.)

(Terrell Yelder) So what? Because some members of our little group here have held some gold means that what we have been telling everyone isn't true? These people aren't buying your crap any more Synyster. We've held titles so surely you aren't holding any of us down.

(Mavick) That's a load of crap Syn. You know that you and Brandon have been holding us back. The sooner you come out and admit it and give us the props we deserve the sooner your lives will go back to normal. Until then we are going to continue to be the thorns in your side.

(Shane Montez) Let's move on to the next clip shall we.

(Clip plays.)

(Devin St. Jons) Not to seem like I am taking the side of the Circle, but MKY was undefeated for a good long while and had to win a tournament to get a chance at a title. Terrell hasn't been here long enough, but MKY's story makes a good point. Your thoughts?

(Synyster) MKY was the one oversight. I agree with everything MKY said. He's been overlooked for far too long. He's a great young talent, it's a shame he's had the old guard fill his head with such propaganda. Not too long ago, Chris will probably remember this, I was a mentor to young Marcus. It's a shame he got dragged down that road. Congrats to him on winning the ID title though. Hard fought tournament. He beat alot of tough guys.

(Clip ends.)

(Shane Montez) That right there is our point. Marcus, you remember being "under Synyster's wing" don't you?

(Marcus K. Yelder) You mean pushed back in his shadow and held down? Yeah, I remember that. Letting him convince me that with him I would reach new heights was the worst decision I ever made.

(Terrell Yelder) Roll the next clip.

(Clip plays.)

(Chris Cash) As we will see later, these next 2 cards have every member of the Circle in a title match. You already announced Flash versus Mary-Jane Montez as well as all three members of the New Blood getting title shots. Tell us more about the decision to have both Shane and Mavick's singles titles defended in handicap matches.

(Synyster) Well, as you remember from Full Throttle this week, I told Shane that he will defend the Rated R title at a site and an opponent or opponents at my discretion. You know, these guys have been talking about how the deck is always stacked against them, how the "man" is holding them down. Well, we're going to see how they react when the deck is really stacked against them. BSY and I have decided to call this "Stack the Deck" week. Usually a World Title match would close a show. This week, MJM will open Full Throttle with that huge defense against the young star Flash. And the Rated R & United States titles will be defended in handicap matches. The Whoresmen will have to really fight the odds this week to hold on to those titles. I wanted to see how these men would react when the odds really were against them. If they're going to be accusing us of doing these things anyway, we might as well do it.

(Clip Ends.)

(Terrell Yelder) They decided to "Stack the Deck" against us this week?

(Shane Montez) Is that a new thing?

(Mavick) Hell no. Anyone remember someone having to defend a couple of titles with a broken damn ankle?

(Terrell Yelder) Then he had the nerve to say "if we are going to get accused of doing something we might as well do it".

(Christopher M. Paige) So all we have to do is accuse them of something and they will do it huh? Then I accuse them of having a man on man love affair.

(MJM) That's sick. But I've heard things.

(Mavick) Yo I don't even want to think about what they do behind locked doors. Next clip.

(Clip plays.)

(Devin St. Jons) Shifting gears, how do you feel about the Pure Title finally changing hands?

(Synyster) Well, Duncan really established the standard for Pure wrestling here in PWR. He did one hell of a job for almost 8 months as Pure Champion. All things must come to an end though. PTP is an excellent competitor and will do justice to the title. Duncan was off his game in that match, I hope he can bounce back soon.

(Clip ends.)

(Terrell Yelder) Now some of you might be asking yourself what that clip has to do with us. I'll tell you. Lack of respect. True, Duncan McCloud held the Pure Title for almost 8 months. The "Powers That Be" want to proclaim him the greatest thing going. Whatever, Mavick over here has held the US Title for almost 11 months. Where is his recognition? Not coming from Synyster or Brandon.

(Mavick) 11 months people. Do the math, I'm 3 months better then McCloud and he is getting all the props from Synyster. That pissed me off so I did a little homework. How many times did Duncan McCloud defend that Pure Title in the 8 months he held it?

(Shane Montez) I'll say 8 times.

(Terrell Yelder) I'll go with 6.

(Mavick) Enough guessing because no one will get it right. In his great 8 month reign McCloud defended that title a whopping 3 times. 3 TIMES!!! And that makes him great? And the 3rd time he lost the damn thing.

(Terrell Yelder) Speaking of lack of respect. MJ over there has to defend her World Title in the opening match.

(MJM) Never has any World Champion had to defend their title in the opening match of a TV show. This isn't even a PPV. And I know why this is. It's because Synyster and Brandon don't think I make a good champion. They are making me fight first because I'm a woman. The two of them are nothing more then sexist pigs.

(Terrell Yelder) Did anyone see what else was posted on the PWR website? PTP became the first man to hold 2 singles titles in PWR.

(Shane Montez) Good for him. But Primetime Punisher is a "Prime" example of why we are together. I've been in PWR since the beginning. That is almost 5 months longer then PTP. Do you know how many one on one singles title matches I have had? Let's just say the outcome is draped over my shoulder. I haven't had enough one on one opportunities to even reach that mark. Now let's play this next clip.

(Clip plays.)

(Chris Cash) Yes, they have. Where do you sit on the PWR/Circle debate?

(Primetime Punisher) Well, I'm not trying to get in the middle of things here, but I've always felt, if you want a title or a title shot, win your matches and earn it. Not to toot my own horn, but you could say I am an established name in this business, wouldn't you say?

(Devin St. Jons) Agreed.

(Chris Cash) No doubt.

(Primetime Punisher) Ok, so do you see me going around and demanding a title shot based on my name alone? No, you see me go out and bust my ass and earn it. I'm not going to sit back on a reputation and hope everything just comes to me. I work for it, and get that sense of accomplishment when I get my shot. For being around for such a long time, these guys have a lot to learn.

(Clip ends.)

(Terrell Yelder) You're not trying to get in the middle of things? You son of a bitch, you are main reason number 1 on the list of what we are talking about. You want to come on a show and say "earn title shots"? Match number f'n two in PWR was a World Title match for you. You earned a shot at the top prize in PWR in one damn match? .

(Shane Montez) Now you all see that what we have been saying is nothing but the truth. They want to tell everyone that "you have to earn you shots", "name alone wont get you anywhere with us". The truth is we are being punished because we came into PWR as their friends. We have to scratch and claw to get shots around here while people like Primetime Punisher walk in to PWR and are handed shots at titles. His second match he is World Champion. Was he number 1 contender? Hell no. He doesn't have to earn shots. Did he earn a shot at the Pure Title? Of course not. How could he. That was his first ever Pure division match.

(Terrell Yelder) Every week we come out here and tell the people the truth about what goes on around here. And every week people start realizing that the "Powers That Be" are just ego driven power hungry maniacs. Trust me when I tell you that it just isn't the fans that are realizing this. Week after week the boys in the back are seeing through your lies. Every week more and more of them are coming up to us wanting to join in our mission. Don't be surprised if the ranks if The Circle of the Black Thorn starts to grow.

(MJM) Now, let's get the action started. Flash get your ass out here so I can kick the hell out of you.

(Mary-Jane Montez stays in the ring as the rest of the Circle of the Black Thorn head to the back.)

(Chris Cash) Welcome to PWR Full Throttle fans, we've got a big night of action for you, and we just heard from the Circle of the Black Thorn, and they brought hard evidence with them this week, playing videos of some of Synyster's comments from this past week on the Rundown. Being unbiased, I will have to say this. They really tore PWR management a new one in the ring just now. That had to have opened some eyes. We're ready for our opening contest, let's head to the ring.

PWR World Championship Match
(ch)Mary-Jane Montez vs Flash
MJM is still in the ring after the promo as "From The Inside" by Depswa plays. The crowd erupts as Flash makes his way towards the ringside area. MJM has her belt off and history will be made tonight, as this is the first time that the PWR World Championship has been defended in the opening match of any PWR television broadcast. Flash slides into the ring and MJM looks ready. The referee calls for the bell, expecting the action to be quick but MJM makes a quick retreat to the outside; the match is officially underway! MJM is out of the ring and is slowly walking around but Flash is outside and is giving chase! MJM doesn't know it and the crowd is getting excited! Flash pushes MJM and she goes shoulder first into the post and takes a seat on the ring stairs. MJM rests and Flash gives her no relaxation as he superkicks her off the stairs. MJM rolls backwards off them and lands hard on the floor mats. The crowd starts to chant Flash's name as Flash goes after the champion. The referee, from the inside of the ring, yells at the combatants to enter the ring and Flash gets right on the job by rolling MJM back under the ropes and into the ring and then jumping up onto the apron and getting back into the ring himself. MJM backing away from Flash, begging off and Flash is ignoring her as he follows her in and pulls the World Champion up by her hair. Flash backs MJM to the ropes, Irish whip in, MJM off the ropes and Flash connects with a back elbow, taking the champion back down to the mat. Flash quickly with the lateral press, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by MJM! Flash grabs MJM by the hair, and pulls her back to a standing base once again. Flash hooks MJM by the head and lifts her into the air, and drops her with the stalling brainbuster! Flash is not playing games here! He's ready to win that World Championship here tonight! Flash floats over, hooks the leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by the World Champion! MJM is hanging tough, as she always does. MJM is one of the toughest women ever in my opinion. Flash pulls MJM back off the mat and turns her around, and locks on a rear chin lock. Flash really rearing back on the jaw of the champion; he's got his knee in her back, for added pressure. MJM reaching over for the ropes, but she's still go a ways to go for that. MJM trying to scoot over to the ropes, Flash realizes MJM is about there and he stands up and kicks her right in the spine! Brutal move by Flash, he's showing us a mean streak here tonight! MJM working her way back to her feet, Flash bounces off the ropes and connects with a stiff lariat and sends MJM over the ropes and to the floor on the outside! The PWR World Champion is in a bad way here, can she recover and hold onto her title, or are we going to have a brand new World Champion crowned here tonight? Stay with us!!

:::BACK TO RINGSIDE:::

Welcome back to PWR Full Throttle fans, we're in the middle of our opening contest, which believe it or not, is for the PWR World Championship. MJM is defending against Flash and while we were on our break, the tide turned in a major way and now MJM is in control of the challenger with a submission hold of her own locked on, with her version of the sharpshooter! Flash reaches out for the ropes, trying to claw his way to them to force a break of this hold, he reaches out, MJM rears back, trying to make the challenger tap out, and with one last lunge, Flash reaches out and he grabs the ropes! Flash made it! Wait, what the hell? MJM pulls Flash off the ropes and pulls him to the middle of the ring and sits back into the submission hold! This is illegal, that hold should have been broken! The referee gets into MJM's face and invokes his five count, which the champion ignores! The referee finally grabs MJM and pulls her off of Flash, and MJM was not happy about that! MJM draws back and threatens to hit the referee, is she trying to get disqualified here? That's one way to hold onto your title, I suppose. Not the way I would go, it's a chicken's way out if you ask this broadcast journalist. MJM back to the challenger and she pulls him to his feet. MJM lifts Flash up onto her shoulder, MJM with a powerslam! MJM hooks the leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Flash! MJM has totally turned the tide here and is beginning to show why she's the PWR World Champion! Flash holding his back as MJM gets back to her feet and pulls Flash up as well. MJM backs Flash to the ropes; Irish whip in, Flash off the ropes and MJM leaps up and takes Flash over with the Frankensteiner! MJM makes the cover, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Flash! Flash using all of his grit and determination to stay in this thing! MJM pulls Flash back to his feet and whips him into the corner and he smashes into the buckles hard. MJM connects with a series of right hands, before lifting Flash up and sitting him on the top rope. MJM steps up to the middle rope and connects with a series of rights before hooking Flash by the head, looking to suplex him off, but Flash blocks it! Flash hanging onto the ropes, and he connects with a shot to the midsection of MJM! Flash pushes MJM back a bit, just enough to connect with a series of headbutts, and sending MJM crashing back down to the mat! Flash steps up to the top, here's his chance, MJM is prone and Flash leaps off and connects with the diving leg drop! Flash hooks MJM's leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ MJM kicks out! So, so close for Flash, but MJM got the shoulder up in the nick of time, just enough time to save her championship! Flash gives the signal; I think he's going for the Falcon Arrow! This could be it here! Flash pulls MJM to her feet and hooks her by the head, takes her up into the air, MJM is wriggling and Flash can't hold her! MJM lands behind the back of the challenger! MJM grabs a rear waist lock and pushes Flash toward the ropes, going for the roll up, MJM and Flash roll back, MJM grabs the tights as the referee gets into position, and the referee catches her! The referee admonishes her for breaking the rules; meanwhile Flash needs to take this chance to get back in this match! Flash back to his feet and steps back, lying in wait for MJM to turn back around, Flash goes for the Superkick and MJM ducks it! MJM comes up behind Flash and locks on the rear naked choke! MJM locks on the Last Breath!! MJM jumps up on Flash's back and digs her hooks in, Flash is in a bad way here, MJM is very versed in these MMA style submission holds, and she's got this one in deep! Flash drops to his knees and he looks to be out! The referee down into position and looks in on Flash, his eyes are becoming bloodshot and he is forced to tap out to the World Champion! MJM retains her title!
Winner by submission at 14:43 and STILL PWR World Heavyweight Champion - Mary-Jane Montez

(Chris Cash) MJM retains her title in a tough defense against Flash. MJM on a couple of occasions was really close to losing that title, but in the end, she prevails, beating Flash clean in the middle of the ring. Let's head backstage, where Shelton McPants is standing by.

(Camera switches to backstage, to Shelton McPants.)

(Shelton McPants) Ladies and gentlemen, "The Face" Nick Davis!

(The crowd pops as Davis enters the screen.)

(Shelton McPants) Hey Face!

(Nick Davis) What's happening, Shelley?

(Shelton McPants) Shel…never mind! Tonight, you have a big match against…

(Nick Davis) I know, I know. I watch the Rundown and I got the memo. I'm facing one of the most underrated people in the world.

(Shelton McPants) I know, Duckie Maloy sure is a tough contender.

(Nick Davis) He sure…wait! You said Duckie Maloy?

(Shelton McPants) Yeah, thought you read your memos.

(Nick Davis) Damn, I thought it said Darkwing Duck! You know, Darkwing Duck was the baddest motha…

(Shelton McPants) Shut your mouth!

(Nick Davis) I'm only talking about a duck! Listen, no offense to Duckie Maloy but "The Face" is part Asian…so I love oriental food! Tonight, I'm serving you up Peking style!

(The crowd laughs at Nick's comment.)

(Nick Davis) Just know Duckie, I'm not trying to be rude or crass, it's just me having a little fun. You know, it's just…

(The crowd yells out "HOW I ROLL!" before Nick can say it.)

(Shelton McPants) Looks like they know.

(Nick Davis) And knowing is half the battle!

(Davis slaps Shelton five before walking away from the screen. The scene changes and shows "Hollywood" Duckie Maloy in his locker room, watching Nick Davis conclude his interview.)

("Hollywood" Duckie Maloy) That Nick Davis thinks he is so funny. **imitates Davis ** I'm gonna serve you up Peking style! **back in regular voice** What the hell is Peking style? This guy makes my quackin' blood boil! He better be ready because I'm going to QUACK him up!

(Maloy storms out of his locker room and towards the ring.)

(Chris Cash) Looks to me like Maloy and Davis are ready to go at it! Hell hath no fury like a duck scorned…or Peking'd. Let's get down to the ring for this showcase of International talent!

International Division Singles Match
"The Face" Nick Davis vs "Hollywood" Duckie Maloy
This match is sure to be everything a wrestling fan would want and more as the young lion, " Hollywood" Duckie Maloy takes on the not-so-young lion, Nick Davis. Now pardon me, I'm not saying Davis is old…he just has a few more years on him than PWR's resident duck! "10th Man Down" by Nightwish plays as " Hollywood" Duckie Maloy makes his way down to the ring. Being a cult favorite by many of the PWR fans, he gets a significant pop from the crowd. He walks down the aisle, slapping hands with the fans. Maloy slides into the ring and postures to the crowd as his music cuts off. The crowd waits in anticipation as finally the horns of "Hollywood Swingin'" take over and go right into the highly-addicting beat of DJ Kool's "Let Me Clear My Throat!" The fans go nuts as "The Face" has arrived; Davis appears at the top of the ramp and plays up the crowd ala John Cena by running from one side to the other. The crowd sings along with DJ Kool and Davis makes his way down the aisle. As much adoration as Maloy got, Davis is getting just as much if not more. Davis slaps hands with the fans and gets pulled into the overly-excited female population in the front row! Security frees Davis from their grip and the girls whine. Davis takes off one of his wristbands and tosses it into the crowd to one of the girls! Davis makes his way inside the ring by sliding in head first. Maloy stands his ground in the corner before Davis leads the crowd in the call and response portion of his theme. The crowd is 100% with "The Face" right now. As the song says "FREEZE," Davis throws his hands up in the air and stops the music and the crowd! The crowd screams and Davis applauds the crowd. Davis sheds his jersey and tosses it into the crowd. The official checks with both men and they both seem ready to go! The referee signals for the bell, this match has begun! Davis and Maloy circle one another and then come quickly together with a tie-up. Maloy uses his size to his advantage and shoves the smaller Davis back towards the corner. Davis rolls backwards and gets back to his feet. Maloy is starting to say some inaudible things to Davis, but Davis is not swayed. Davis is up to his feet now and moves towards Maloy again. They lock up; this time Davis goes underneath and grabs Maloy in a rear waistlock. Maloy reaches back and tries to trip "The Face" but can't. Davis takes Maloy down with a rear trip and Maloy lands face first to the canvas. Davis turns his body around and hooks Maloy for a Magistral Cradle, 1……2……KICKOUT by Maloy! Davis gets to his feet and Maloy shortly there after. Maloy charges at Davis; Davis takes Maloy over with a hip toss and follows it up with a cartwheel and a dropkick to the face of Maloy. Davis makes another cover, 1……2……KICKOUT! Davis gets to his feet and pulls Maloy up with him but Maloy stops him in his tracks with a punch to the midsection. Davis is doubled over and Maloy hammers Davis across the shoulder blades with a stiff forearm. Davis drops to one knee and Maloy reaches down to stand Davis up. Maloy hooks Davis in a t-bone suplex grip and takes him up and over with ease for the Tazzplex! Davis' back hits hard as Maloy floats over for the cover, 1……2……KICKOUT by Davis! Maloy stands and pulls Davis up with him; Maloy catches Davis with three forearm shots to the neck before whipping Davis off the ropes. Davis hits and rebounds back towards Maloy. Maloy bends down and scoops Davis up for a huge spinebuster ala The Rock! Davis' back bounces off the mat and Maloy stands to his feet before applying the sharpshooter to Davis! Maloy doesn't have it in as well as he would like but anytime a near 7 feet tall, 275 pound man is sitting on your lower back with your legs almost touching your head, it's never a good sign! The crowd is getting behind Davis who is pretty close to the ropes; Maloy does not have him in a good position. Davis reaches out and grabs hold of the ropes after being in the clutches of Maloy's sharpshooter for a painfully long 10 seconds! Maloy gets up to his feet and kicks at the body of Davis! The crowd instantly turns on Maloy for playfully kicking at the body of their favorite PWR superstar! Maloy stands Davis up to his feet and whips him into the corner. Davis hobbles into the corner and Maloy follows him in with a sickening shoulder tackle that drives Davis' torso in between the top and middle turnbuckle. Maloy has Davis where he wants him and he is taking him up top! Davis is seated on the top rope and Maloy is climbing up there with him. Maloy is on the top rope with his back towards the middle of the ring and he starts to stand Davis up with him, looking for that Pepsi Plunge! Davis breaks free and slapboxes Maloy off the top rope and making him land flat on his back in the ring! Davis is on the top all alone and Maloy is down. Davis gets up top and steadies himself. He leaps off and with his impressive leg stretch pulls off a picture perfect frog splash, shades of the late Eddie Guerrero! Davis hits with all his body weight across the chest of Maloy and makes the cover; the referee gets into position and makes the count, 1……2……KICKOUT by Maloy! The crowd is in awe after a high impact move that could not put away the duck from Hollywood! Davis gets up to his feet slowly and looks at the referee, begging him for different decision. The referee shows Davis with his fingers how close the pin cover actually was! Davis looks heartbroken but presses on. Davis turns around and pulls Maloy to his feet. Maloy pushes Davis' hands away and gets to his feet. Maloy kicks Davis in the gut and doubles him over. Maloy underhooks both arms and drives Davis down to the mat with a modified Pepsi Plunge. That could be the last second miracle that Maloy needs! Davis is out and Maloy is slow to make the cover, 1……2……KICKOUT BY "THE FACE!" The crowd is split 50/50 now as half of the fans are behind Maloy and the other half behind Davis! Maloy looks at the official with the same intent as Davis did and the referee tells Maloy the same news! Maloy stands up to his feet and pulls Davis up; Davis is a rag doll and Maloy whips him across the ring. Davis rebounds and Maloy goes for a clothesline. DAVIS DUCKS! Davis runs towards the ropes, runs up them and springboards off! BUZZERBEATER! Maloy is down and Davis lands right on top. The referee is in position, 1……2……3! "The Face" keeps rolling here in PWR!
Winner by pinfall at 10:14 - "The Face" Nick Davis

(Chris Cash) What a match! Folks, that is just the tip of the iceberg! We still have Corporate Crusher and Enrique DeJesus. We still have Terrell Yelder and PWR International Champion, Marcus K. Yelder. We have a 2-on-1 handicap match! It's a huge night here on Full Throttle!!

(The camera switches to the backstage with Jasmine Skyy on her cell phone and Shane Donovan is walking and talking with what is possibly a new superstar.)

(Landon Kaine) So, let me get this straight. You want me to come to PWR and help you and your posse beat the holy hell outta this Circle of the Black Thong?

(Shane Donovan) Thorn.

(Landon Kaine) Are you sure, because I'm pretty sure I've seen Mary Jane wearing a black thong in some magazine.

(Shane Donovan) Yes, I'm positive.

(Jasmine hangs up her cell and giggles)

(Jasmine Skyy) Ya know, I've been in the ladies locker room. I have never even seen a pair of underwear in any of her gym bags.

(Landon Kaine) Really? Hmmm....

(Shane Donovan) Landon, c'mon man. You in or not?

(Landon Kaine) Sure what the hell, why not. By the way. Where are we going?

(Shane Donovan) To meet the boys.

(Shane, Landon and Jasmine turn the corner. The camera shows a door marked New Blood Donovan opens it.

(Bryan Kros) DAMNIT!

(Scott Kage) HA! You just got burned! TOUCHDOWN!

(Bryan Kros) Suck my left nut...

(Lacey O'Neil) You guys need to chill out, it's a video game.

(Bryan Kros) Yeah, and now I owe him a hundred bucks.

(Scott Kage) Hey, you made the bet, not me.

(Shane Donovan) Boys.... and Lacey. I think I found a solution to any Circle of the Black Thong's...... Thorn, damnit! Thanks alot man.

(Landon Kaine) No problem.

(Shane Donovan) Our problem of interference. In the form of a one Mr. Landon Kaine.

(Kros and Kage look at each other and grin.)

(Scott Kage) So? Landon Kaine, your uh, a pretty big dude. What do you bench 325 .....350?

(Landon Kaine) 450.

(Bryan Kros) 450? Not bad. So, your the answer to Paige huh?

(Shane and Landon sit down at a round table in which they are accompanied by Kros and Kage. Jasmine takes to the couch by Lacey, and start a girl talk.)

(Bryan Kros) So, we need an enforcer?

(Shane Donovan) Well, I mean they do have Paige, you know that guy that the majority of us took take out with a lare gust of breath.

(Bryan Kros) What do you mean most. I'm pretty sure if the girls tagged they could take Paige out.

(Landon Kaine) So, who is this Paige guy anyways?

(Scott Kage) A gnat that bothers people when they are facing members of the Circular Table of Senior Citizens.

(Landon Kaine) The who?

(Bryan Kros) Circle of the Black Thorn. Between him and Marcus they find a way to make us wanna ram a chair down their throats. By the way, how's the eyes doing Donovan?

(Shane Donovan) Oh from the cat stratch hayfever? Fine.

(Jasmine Skyy) That bitch is gonna get her ass handed to her if she uses her nails again.

(Shane Donovan) Easy, next time, she'll find out my claws are alot sharper.

(There's a loud knock at the door. Donovan gets up and walks to the it, he opens up the door and grins.)

(Shane Donovan) Well, look who decided to finally show up.

(Voice) Well, better late than never, right?

(Shane Donovan) Next time, come a little bit earlier.

(Voice) Yeah yeah, your not gonna let me live that down are ya?

(Shane Donovan) So you gonna come in or what?

(Voice) Yeah, sup guys.

(Scott Kage) Well, well. Sup......

(The door slams shut leaving the camera outside. The last glimpse the camera caught was a black leather jacket having an iron cross on the back, as we fade to commercial.)

:::COMMERCIAL BREAK:::

THE FRANCHISE CUP! COMING SOON!

:::BACK TO BACKSTAGE:::

(The scene opens up with McCloud, face to face with Brandon $. Yelder.)

(Duncan McCloud) What do you mean Zanyon isn't here?

(Brandon $. Yelder) That's exactly what I mean. Zanyon has some personal things to take care of and he has asked to take a sabbatical.

(Duncan McCloud) Are you kidding me? The kid wins one world championship, loses it the next time he defends it and he gets a sabbatical? I am was the longest reigning PWR Pure Wrestling Champion and I didn't get a damn sabbatical!

(Brandon $. Yelder) I understand that. Do you need some time off? I mean, I saw your match with Primetime Punisher. Hate to say it, but you looked more like a "drunken zelot" than a Pure Champion.

(Duncan McCloud) Whatever man. My head is in the game. I'm getting out of here.

(Brandon $. Yelder) Don't!

(Duncan McCloud) Why not?

(Brandon $. Yelder) Because someone has wished to step in Zanyon's place and take you on.

(Duncan McCloud) Really? How sweet of them. I'll pass.

(Brandon $. Yelder) You pass? Alright, then I guess that's one less check I have to write. I mean, I'd love to write you one instead of those damn Circle of the Black Thorn guys but, if you insist. I guess Chris Paige can get your cut.

(Duncan McCloud) Are you serious? Fine, I'll go out there and beat up on this little puke. How about you take my check and pay for this kid's hospital bill. He is gonna need it.

(Duncan storms out of the locker room and heads towards the ring.)

(Chris Cash) Wow! McCloud is a bit steamed! Who would have even thought that McCloud would get that irate over something as small as a replacement match. Duncan isn't even waiting for his music. He is coming out now!

(McCloud walks down the aisle with a mic in hand.)

(Duncan McCloud) Okay. PTP, I hope you are watching this. What I'm going to do to Flipper McCoy tonight is gonna sit on your head for eternity! I want my damn Pure Title back and if I have to break this kid's neck to do so, I will.

(McCloud enters the ring and stands facing the ramp.)

(Duncan McCloud) Okay Brandon, send out your worst!

(Suddenly, the lights go out!)

(Chris Cash) Oh crap! Who is it?

St. Anger round my neck!
St. Anger round my neck!
He never gets respect!
St. Anger round my neck!

("St. Anger" by Metallica begins to play as the PWR crowd has no idea who it is. Suddenly, the lights cut on and the camera shows The New Blood at the head of the ramp in a line, looking at McCloud. The New Blood all smile and point behind McCloud.)

(Chris Cash) Oh my God, it's Shane Meadows!

Duncan looks shocked and Shane kicks Duncan in the gut. There is no referee! This is not a match! Meadows whips McCloud off the ropes. McCloud rebounds and Meadows catches McCloud in the face with a high knee, shades of Harley Race and Triple H! McCloud drops to the mat, holding his jaw! Meadows moves towards McCloud and pulls him up. McCloud is woozy and Meadows starts to connect with multiple right hands before winding his arms up and connecting with a bionic elbow to the top of McCloud's head; The Flip-Flop and Fly! McCloud drops to the mat and Meadows runs off the ropes and drops a big leg on McCloud! McCloud seems to be out and The New Blood rush the ring! They all slide in and circle around McCloud. Kage pulls McCloud up and Meadows moves towards him. Meadows hoists McCloud up on his shoulders and drives him down with a burning hammer he calls The Yelder Driver! McCloud just landed violently on his neck and The New Blood smiles. Donovan moves towards the ring attendant and asks for a mic. He gets one and starts to speak.

(Shane Donovan) Circle of The Black Thorn! Be warned! The New Blood is here with a vengeance and I'm pretty sure that Shane is ready for a fight! See you later, Mr. Montez!

(Donovan drops the mic as "Beg To Differ" by Prong plays through the PA system.)

(Chris Cash) Shane Meadows is a part of the New Blood? Shane Meadows is back? This is excellent news! Welcome back Shane! Right now, let's go backstage with Corporate Crusher!

(Scene transitions backstage, where Dan Dexter is standing by with Corporate Crusher.)

(Dan Dexter) Thanks Chris. Corporate Crusher, who will be taking on the streaking "Atlantic City" Enrique DeJesus up next, joins me now. Corp, you suffered an unfortunate loss to Terrell Yelder last week in the International Title Tournament, and that cost you a shot at the title. Tonight, you can put your name at the top of the list of contenders to take on the champion, whether it be MKY or Terrell Yelder. First of all, how are you feeling going into tonight?

(Corporate Crusher) Physically, I'm fine. I'll admit, I was a bit shaken by the loss last week. I thought and still think I should have been in the finals of the tournament. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Tonight, I get my shot to put my name in the mix for a shot at the champ.

(Dan Dexter) This will be the 2nd time you and EDJ have faced off in PWR, you two fought in the opening round of the ID title tournament. You didn't figure into the pinfall there, but knowing EDJ's tendencies, how does that help you now?

(Corporate Crusher) No surprises. That's what it boils down to. EDJ can't throw anything at me I haven't already seen. I know what's coming and tonight, I know I can beat him. EDJ, get ready for a hostile takeover.

(Crusher walks from the scene as camera swings around and we see EDJ coming from the opposite direction. Dexter brings him into frame.)

(Dan Dexter) EDJ, can I get a word?

(Enrique DeJesus) Make it quick slick.

(Dan Dexter) Well, I just talked to your opponent, and he seems to think he knows what you're going to do.

(Enrique DeJesus) Does he now?

(Dan Dexter) He seems to think that since he's already been in the ring with you once, this one is going to be easy. He said to be ready for a hostile takeover.

(Enrique DeJesus) He should know by now, Enrique DeJesus always has an ace up his sleeve. Dan, my game has so many versions, they call me Monopoly. Crusher, tonight you're in for the fight of your life, and in the end, I'll be the one raking in the chips.

(Camera fades back to ringside as EDJ walks from the screen.)

(Chris Cash) These two are two of the top guys in the International Division. Who will take that step up the ladder? To the ring for the action!

International Division Singles Match
"Atlantic City" Enrique DeJesus vs Corporate Crusher
Our second of three International division matches is up next, and these two made it nearly to the end of the tournament for the title, and they will be looking to stake their claim to the number one contenders spot for that title here in this upcoming contest. Here comes Corporate Crusher. Crusher as always, all business, with no fanfare, no theme music, he's just here to get the job done. Crusher striding to the ring, and the man from NYC enters that ring. Crusher will be looking to stop the winning ways of his opponent here tonight. "Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones echoes throughout the Brandt Centre, and here comes "Atlantic City" Enrique DeJesus! EDJ is coming off a big win against Jacques Couteau last week on Overload, but can he turn back the challenge of the big man, Corporate Crusher? EDJ enters the ring and stands ready to go, the referee calls for the bell and we're underway. EDJ and Crusher circling the ring, feeling out process and they lock up. Crusher using his power, pushes EDJ back into the corner rather easily, and the referee is trying to get a clean break here. The referee in between and Crusher reaches out and slaps EDJ! An ultimate sign of disrespect there! Crusher steps back and laughs at EDJ, EDJ quickly steps back into Crusher and they lock up again. EDJ this time uses his momentum and takes Crusher over with a lightning quick arm drag! EDJ follows Crusher in and when he lifts his head back up off the mat, EDJ nails Crusher with a slap of his own! EDJ not taking the disrespect, he's giving it right back to Crusher! Crusher gets back to his feet and heads right back at EDJ, who takes Crusher down with a drop toe hold, and quickly transitions into a side headlock. EDJ takes control of things early on here, as he cranks down on the head and neck of Crusher. Crusher using his strength to power himself up to his knees with EDJ trying to hold onto the headlock, Crusher stands up. Crusher backs EDJ to the ropes, and shoots him off, EDJ into the ropes, and runs into a shoulder block from Crusher, knocking him off his feet. Crusher immediately goes for an elbow drop, EDJ rolls out of the way! EDJ pops to his feet and bounces off the ropes and catches Crusher with a basement dropkick right in the mush! EDJ quickly covers getting only a one count. EDJ pulls Crusher to his feet, hooks him and takes him over with a double underhook suplex! EDJ with another lateral press, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Crusher! EDJ quickly locks on the side headlock once more, trying to wear down Crusher a bit more. EDJ has this one locked on a little better than the first; perhaps we'll see a tap out from Crusher here! Crusher slowly back to his feet again, using that power and weight advantage, Crusher picks EDJ up in the air and drops him with the back suplex! EDJ landed right on the back of his head! Crusher back to his feet and he connects with a stomp right to the back of EDJ's head and EDJ drops flat back down to the mat! Crusher bounces off the ropes and he drops a knee right to the back of EDJ's head! Relentless is this Corporate Crusher! Crusher shoots a half nelson and rolls EDJ over, lateral press, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by EDJ! Crusher hooks both legs, going for another cover, 1 ........ 2 ........ and EDJ gets the shoulder up! No quit in Enrique DeJesus here tonight! Crusher back to his feet and he pulls EDJ up by the hair. Crusher lifts EDJ into the air with a gorilla press, and he's walking around the ring with him! Crusher is just showing off here now! Crusher slams EDJ down to the mat! EDJ holding his back in pain, that's a long way to fall, that's for sure! Crusher to the ropes, he heads to the middle rope, Crusher leaps off and plants an elbow right in EDJ's sternum! Crusher with the cover, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by EDJ! That one was close! Crusher insisting to the referee that it was three, and the referee assuring Crusher that it was only a two. Crusher back to his feet and he grabs EDJ and pulls him to a standing base. Crusher backs EDJ to the ropes, and goes for the Irish whip in, reversed by EDJ! EDJ sends Crusher into the ropes, Crusher off the opposite side, EDJ goes for the leapfrog, but Crusher stops short and catches EDJ with the inverted atomic drop! That'll ruin your weekend! EDJ hunches over in pain, Crusher runs off the ropes and he hits the Running Lariat! EDJ flies backward and rolls out of the ring, and that may have very well saved the match for EDJ! Crusher could have probably put it away right there! Crusher frustrated now, he knows that probably would have been the end of the match, as he heads to the outside, following EDJ. Crusher makes his way over to the fallen EDJ and pulls him up by the hair. Crusher brings EDJ to the apron and slams him face first across the ring apron! Crusher is in total control here! Crusher rolls EDJ back under the ropes and follows him back in. This could be it here, Crusher rolls EDJ over and hooks the leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by EDJ! Just as I suspected, the roll out of the ring, saved that match for EDJ! Crusher very frustrated now, he goes into the mount position and starts to rain down right hands upon EDJ! The referee trying to break it up, and he finally pulls Crusher off EDJ! Crusher draws back at the referee! Hey now! Crusher better watch it, he'll end up disqualified! Crusher turns his attention back to EDJ, who grabs him by the waist and throws him out of the ring! EDJ buying himself some time here! EDJ back to his feet as Crusher tries to get back into the ring, EDJ connects with a big knee to the side of the head of Crusher! EDJ pulls Crusher back into the ring, draping him over the ropes and EDJ plants him with the elevated DDT! EDJ turns the tide in this one! EDJ makes the cover, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Crusher! EDJ pulls Crusher to his feet and walks him to the middle of the ring, and EDJ connects with the backbreaker! EDJ with the cover, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Crusher! EDJ slaps the mat, wondering what it his he has to do to put Crusher away here! EDJ pulls Crusher back to his feet; EDJ backs Crusher to the ropes and connects with a couple of knife-edge chops to the exposed chest of Corporate Crusher. EDJ with the Irish whip in, Crusher reverses it and sends EDJ into the ropes! EDJ off the ropes and Crusher connects with the big boot, right under the chin of EDJ! Crusher could put it away right here, Crusher stands up and he heads to the ropes, could he be looking for Falling Profits here? Crusher on the apron and he's up top now! Crusher leaps off going for the fist drop, but EDJ rolls out of the way! Crusher missed Falling Profits! Crusher to his feet first though, EDJ up slowly, Crusher bounces off the ropes, going for the lariat once more, EDJ ducks it! EDJ gets behind Crusher and hits The Fold!! EDJ hits The Fold! Crusher lands on the back of his head! EDJ lateral press and hooks the leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ 3! EDJ wins again!
Winner by pinfall at 11:40 - "Atlantic City" Enrique DeJesus

(Chris Cash) Big win for EDJ there, as he keeps his streak alive. A very good match between two of our International Division stars. Up next is a big re-match for the PWR International Division Championship. MKY takes on his brother, Terrell, right now!

PWR International Championship Re-Match
(ch)Marcus K. Yelder vs "The Saviour" Terrell Yelder
"White Train (Showdown)" by Tito and Tarantula starts to play over the announcement system in the PWR arena and out walks the challenger from the back "The Savior" Terrell Yelder. He comes out to the top of the stage to a hateful crowd at least towards him. Terrell walks down the ramp and around the ring to the steps. He walks up the steps onto the apron. He then ducks between the ropes and enters the ring. He stays in the far off corner and looks up towards the ramp. His music fades and the fan get to their feet! "Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde now plays over the announcement system in the PWR arena. The current PWR International Champion Marcus K. Yelder steps through the curtains and stands at the top of the stage with the championship belt around his waist. He reaches back and unsnaps his title and holds it above his head as he stares down into the ring at his brother Terrell. He lowers the title and then walks down the ramp. Reaching the bottom of the ramp he rolls into the ring and rises to his feet quickly. He then walks to the center of the ring and comes face to face with Terrell. As the men stare at each other the bell sounds to start this match! Neither man moves and they stand before each other staring. Marcus still holding the International title in his hand. The ref stands next to the men and he is telling Marcus to hand him the title. Marcus reaches out to hand him the title but Terrell stops his arm. He grabs onto the title. Each man holds a piece of the title as they continue to stare at each other. The belt is raised besides the men up to eye level. Terrell turns his head to look at the title and then turns back facing Marcus. "This is mine after tonight" Terrell informs Marcus. Marcus replies with a smile and then tells Terrell "Your full of crap as always". Terrell then releases his grip on the title, as does Marcus. The ref holds the title up in the air for a second and then heads to the side of the ring and hands it off to the ring announcer. Marcus and Terrell each take a few steps back and begin to circle each other in the ring. Terrell a few times acts as if he is going to strike first by throwing himself towards Marcus but stopping and pulling back before he goes too far. After they make one complete circle around the ring both men lunge forward and tie up with each other. The match is pretty even as they start off. Terrell causes Marcus to take a step back and then Marcus does the same back. Marcus then is finally able to break free and apply a side headlock on Terrell. Terrell tries to break free by pulling apart Marcus grip but is unsuccessful. He then backs Marcus into the ropes. Terrell steps forward pushing Marcus off him. Marcus bounces off the ropes, Terrell jumps to the ground, Marcus leaps over him but comes to a complete stop. Marcus then drops a elbow back across Terrell back and then moves forward and reapplies the side headlock this time with Terrell on the mat. Terrell slams his hand against the mat out of anger because of being outsmarted so early in the match. He uses his arms to push himself up onto his knees, still applied in the side headlock. From his knees he is able to gets up on the side of Marcus. He locks his arms together and then rams his elbow into Marcus stomach. Another and another shot to Marcus stomach cause his grip to come loose and Terrell finally breaks out of the side headlock. Terrell takes a step back and then swings forward hitting Marcus in the face. Terrell then grabs Marcus arm and tries to whip him into the ropes but Marcus reverses it sending Terrell into the ropes. Terrell bounces off the ropes and Marcus bends down. Terrell stops right in front of him and just kicks straight up into Marcus face. He then steps back as Marcus pops up. He runs forward and takes Marcus down with a clothesline. Marcus quickly gets back up to his feet but is taken down again with another clothesline by Terrell! After the second time Marcus knows not to even try getting up instead he rolls under the bottom rope to the outside of the ring. Marcus on the outside of the ring looks up at Terrell and begins to try and think of a plan. As he thinks a fan on the outside of the ring makes a comment that catches his attention. Marcus turns around and comes face to face with the fan. Words are exchanged and then suddenly Marcus is grabbed by his shoulder. He is spun around by Terrell but ducks his attempted punch and Terrell ends up hitting the fan that Marcus was arguing with! Marcus rolls into the ring and gets to his feet. Terrell on the outside turns around and now looks up at Marcus in the ring. Marcus points him at and begins to laugh at him. Terrell looks at the fan and shrugs it off. He slides into the ring and gets to his feet. Both men on their feet now. They go to tie up but Marcus ducks under Terrell's arms and gets behind Terrell. He hooks Terrell's waist. Terrell tries to pry his hands apart but can't. Terrell looks back and then brings his head forward. He runs forward dragging Marcus along with him. Terrell hooks his arms around the ropes and pushes back. Marcus goes rolling up him and up to his feet. Terrell charges forward but Marcus ducks the clothesline. Terrell then bounces off the ropes and when he returns, Marcus steps to the side, hooks Terrell's head and stops him by locking in a sleeper hold. Marcus trying to keep this match at the pace he wants. Terrell goes down to one knee after he is in the hold for a few seconds. He then drops to both knees. Marcus tells the ref to check him. The ref raises Terrell's arm once and it drops. He then raises Terrell's arm a second time. Instead of dropping he holds it up. Terrell then pushes up to stand on his feet. He then turns to his side, and wraps his arms around Marcus waist. Terrell then lifts him up and drops him back on his head. Now both men are on the mat. Terrell is the first to move as he props himself on his elbows. He shakes his head trying to focus. He looks to his side and Marcus is starting to move. Terrell knows his brother is outwrestling him. He rolls out of the ring and heads over to the announcers' table. He forces the announcer up and takes his chair. Terrell then walks to the ring and slides in the chair. He slides in after and grabs the chair and gets to his feet. The ref warns him not to even try it. Terrell holds the chair up but Marcus quickly turns around and finds Terrell holding the chair up. Terrell caught before he could use the chair. He looks up and then brings the chair down and hides it behind his back and smiles at Marcus as if nothing was happening. Marcus looks at him "So you need a chair huh?". Terrell throws the chair back and it bounces off the mat and slides out of the ring. "What Chair" Terrell says. They both seem to just laugh it off. Terrell then charges Marcus and catches him off guard taking him down with a elbow. He reaches down and picks up Marcus. An uppercut sends Marcus backs into the ropes. Terrell grabs him and pulls him towards the center of the ring. He then hooks Marcus and lifts him up and over with a suplex. Terrell then grabs Marcus legs. He steps between then with ones of his. Hooks Marcus legs around his and then turns Marcus over into the Sharpshooter! Marcus screams out in pain as Terrell leans back applying pressure. Marcus is in the hold for a good 45 seconds screaming in pain before he manages to crawl over to the ropes and grab onto the bottom rope. The ref tells Terrell to break. Terrell tries pulling Marcus towards the center but Marcus won't let go of the bottom rope so Terrell is forced to let go. Marcus uses one hand to hold onto the rope and the other to hold his back as Terrell releases the hold. Terrell grabs Marcus and slowly lifts him up and brings him towards the center of the ring. When they reach the center Marcus pushes off Terrell and sends a few stiff shots to Terrell's face. He then runs back and bounces himself off the ropes. Terrell steps forward grabbing Marcus when he returns lifting him up, stepping to the side and dropping Marcus with a spinebuster! Terrell jumps up to his feet and takes a brief second to catch his breathe. He looks out at the crowd and a negative boo comes out from the crowd to him. Terrell holds his arms in victory and makes a motion as to he is about to win the belt. Terrell then steps back leaning into the ropes. As he does the crowd pops for a fan that has jumped the rail! He grabs Terrell's foot. Terrell looks back and tries to kick him off. It is the same fan Terrell accidentally hit earlier in the match. Security finally is able to reach the fan and grabs a hold of him. Terrell laughs at the fan and then waves bye to him as security begins to take the fan away from the ringside area. Out of nowhere Marcus comes up behind Terrell and rolls him up 1 ......... 2............. 3!!!!!! Marcus surprises Terrell and rolls him up, as he is distracted!
Winner by pinfall at 15:44 and STILL PWR International Champion - Marcus K. Yelder

(Chris Cash) Well, that match was interesting to say the least. Both of them seem to really want that ID Title, but this time, Marcus gets the duke over his older brother. And who the hell was in the mask? We've got to take a break, we'll be back with our main event!
