(The cameras and the lights cut on inside The American Airlines Center as the pyrotechnics go off marking the beginning of another edition of PWR Full Throttle. "Kickstart My Heart" by Motley Crue plays throughout the PA system as the camera pans across the capacity crowd. 10 seconds of fan face time is given before the camera settles in on the familiar face of "The Voice of PWR" Chris Cash!)

(Chris Cash) Welcome to PWR Full Throttle! We're coming to you live from Big D, Dallas Texas, and we have a big night in store, as we inch closer to PWR's Rise II Power!

("Hollow Ground" by Hatebreed hits over the PA, and out walks PWR Co-Chairman, and Director of Authority, Synyster!)

(Chris Cash) Here comes the boss! Well, one of the bosses anyway! This is the beginning of a big stretch for PWR, as we work our way toward the biggest show of the year, Rise II Power! Syn has the mic, let's see what's on his mind.

(Synyster) Good evening everyone, and welcome to PWR Full Throttle!

(Crowd cheers wildly.)

(Synyster) Thank you for the great reception Dallas, and that's why we chose this city to have our first back-to-back night shows. Dallas is a great wrestling town, from World Class and The Sportatorium, to the Von Erich family, and we want to thank you for being part of PWR history tonight as well!

(The crowd continues to cheer, and chant "P-W-R")

(Synyster) PWR history will be made tonight, as we will crown a new United States Champion. You see, originally, we had booked a gauntlet style match, and the superstars would be trying to retrieve two contracts, which were hanging above the ring. Well, half of the ten-person field for the match are not here this evening. What an opportunity they have missed out on. So, tonight instead of only two people having a shot at the title, all five stars that were responsible enough to show up, will compete in a ladder match, and the winner, will be the new United States Champion. Those five are, Jericho Kane, Plague, The Executioner, Mary-Jane Montez & "Madd Dogg" Mike. Good luck to all five of you. Moving on, there are some changes coming in PWR.

(The crowd quiets as they await the announcement.)

(Synyster) After much deliberation, between Brandon and I, we have decided to split PWR.

(The crowd has a shocked reaction.)

(Synyster) It's nothing that drastic folks. We have two divisions here in PWR. The Classic Division, and the Honor Division. Well, both Brandon & I have decided that it's time each had their own show. So, yours truly will stay here on Full Throttle, and I will run the Classic Division, and Brandon will take over as boss on Overload, and have the Honor Division exclusive to his show. We will come together for PPV's every few months, but I think this is a prime opportunity for some of the wrestlers on this roster to step up and take that step into the spotlight. This is a landmark moment in PWR, and I am confident that it will set up for a great future for PWR.

("Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin hits over the PA, and out walks Shane Montez!)

(Chris Cash) Here comes the leader of The Circle, and PWR Double Champion, Shane Montez! I wonder what he has to say about this, this split could mean the end of The Circle!

(Shane makes his way into the ring and grabs a mic from the ring attendant and speaks.)

(Shane Montez) The future of PWR, huh? The future? What about the present! The present of PWR is The Circle! This is just some power play by you and Brandon, designed to split The Circle up!

(Synyster) Actually, when we talked about this decision, you guys never figured into it. This is for the betterment of PWR itself. And after all, that's what I have my eyes on. PWR. Besides, we just know you are going to travel to both shows, and keep things together. But, as of after Rise II Power, you will only be competing on Full Throttle.

(Shane Montez) We never figured into it? When you talk about the betterment of PWR, you have to consider The Circle of the Black Thorn. Without us, PWR would be just another one of those low level federations nobody really cares about.

(Chris Cash) That's not true folks. Sure, they might be good, but we have other good wrestlers on the roster.

(Shane Montez) You were right about one thing though Syn. Even though most of The Circle will be only competing on Full Throttle, which is a shame for those fans that go to Overload, The Circle will stick together and show up in full force on both shows.

(Synyster) That's great. The Circle can show up on both shows whenever they want. But don't expect PWR to pay for it. Any member that wants to go to the show they aren't wrestling on can pay their own way there.

(Shane Montez) You're kidding right?

(Synyster) No. I'm not kidding.

(Chris Cash) The boss is laying down the law.

(Shane Montez) That's a bunch of crap.

(Synyster) Furthermore, no member who appears on a show that they aren't a member of the roster of will not be paid for that appearance.

(Shane Montez) So you expect us to pay for flights to get us to shows, and then be on those shows for free?

(Synyster) Of course not. We don't expect you to do anything. But if you or anyone else chooses to fly to a show and make an appearance on that show, PWR will not be paying for it.

(Shane Montez) That's not right Syn. You know if we are on a show the ratings will be up.

(Synyster) It might not be right, but that's the way it's going to be. If you don't like it, don't show up on both shows. But I know you Shane, you and the rest of The Circle will be on both shows.

(Shane Montez) You're damn right we will be on both shows. We will be there to support the members of The Circle on both shows. But Syn, since you know me so well, you have to know that I will have my lawyers looking into this outrageously bogus and unfair situation.

(Synyster) I wouldn't expect anything less.

(Shane Montez drops the mic and heads out of the ring, as Synyster stands in the ring, glaring at him. The camera then cuts to Chris Cash.)

(Chris Cash) Well, Synyster making himself clear to one and all, in and out of The Circle! PWR is evolving, and I have to say, I like the idea! PWR splitting its divisions into two shows, this will be quite the opportunity for many names on this roster! That's just the beginning of what's going to be a huge night here on Full Throttle! The two teams who will face off for the Global-Honor Tag Titles at Rise II Power, The Hollywood Connection and Stratton and Matt Flash will face off in singles action. In addition, the two men who will face off for the Pure Championship at Rise II Power, Duncan McCloud and Primetime Punisher, will have to try and co-exist, as they will take on The Hellraisers. Three of the top Honor Division talents will face off, as EDJ, Corporate Crusher, and "The Saviour", Terrell Yelder in what should be a fantastic matchup. Synyster talked about the ladder match later tonight, in which five superstars will compete for the vacant United States Championship, and to cap off the night, The Whoresmen, World Champion Mavick and Rated R Champion Shane Montez will defend their World Tag Team Titles, one more time against The New Blood. The road to Rise II Power is winding down, and the final stop is here in Big D! To the back, for comments from both The Hollywood Connection and Stratton and Flash.

(Camera transitions backstage, to the locker room of Matt Flash & Andrew Stratton.)

(Andrew Stratton) Last time on Full Throttle, we lost the Global-Honor Tag Team Titles, and we weren't even pinned in the match. Sure, it was crappy, but we're not going to sit back and complain about it.

(Matt Flash) We get our rematch on the biggest stage there is, Rise II Power, and believe us; we're going to make the most of it.

(Andrew Stratton) Tonight, we get to show our opponents at Rise II Power, just what kind of a force we can be.

(Matt Flash) Hollywood Connection, get ready, we're coming to take you out tonight, and then at Rise II Power, we're taking our titles back!

(Camera switches to the locker room of The Hollywood Connection, where we see Duckie Maloy standing around.)

("Hollywood" Duckie Maloy) Where the hell is Jacques?

(Duckie walks into the hallway, and we see a producer walking down the hallway. Duckie gets his attention.)

("Hollywood" Duckie Maloy) Hey, you see Jacques?

(Producer) He was on his way to the ring.

("Hollywood" Duckie Maloy) Damn it.

(Camera Man) We're running out of time. You gonna say something about your match or not?

("Hollywood" Duckie Maloy) Fine. Tonight, Jacques and I will prove while we're the best team in the Honor Division, in singles matches, and at the PPV, we're walking in with the titles, and we're walking out with the titles. Matt Flash, tonight, I'm gonna QUACK you up!

(Camera fades as we hear Chris Cash over the air.)

(Chris Cash) Stratton versus Couteau, next!

:::COMMERCIAL BREAK:::

THE OFFICIAL THEME SONG FOR PWR'S RISE 2 POWER PAY PER VIEW SPECTACULAR IS "BREATHE INTO ME" BY RED, WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON RED'S DEBUT ALBUM, "END OF SILENCE", WHICH IS IN STORES NOW. PWR WOULD LIKE TO THANK RED FOR BEING A PART OF PWR AND RISE 2 POWER!!

:::BACK TO RINGSIDE:::

(Camera comes up inside the arena, as "You Oughta Be in Pictures" by Rudy Vallee plays as a spotlight hits the top of the ramp. Jacques Couteau then steps into the bright spot, Global-Honor Tag Title glinting on his waist. To his usual tuxedo coat, bow tie, dress slacks and sunglasses, he has now added a top hat and cane. He spins the cane lazily as he saunters to ringside.)

(Chris Cash) And there's one half of The Hollywood Connection, the current Global-Honor Tag Champions. It seems as if winning those titles has made him dress even more pompously than usual.

(Jacques climbs the ring steps, wipes his feet on the apron, and steps through the ropes before pulling a microphone from his jacket's inner pocket.)

(Jacques Couteau) Hello, Houston!

(The crowd boos.)

(Jacques Couteau) What? It's not my fault you live in Houston.

(Chris Cash) Apologies to the wonderful crowd here in Dallas.

(Jacques Couteau) If you were smart, you'd move to San Antonio or something. I heard somebody lost his smile again recently, so he might be up to teaching some of you how to step into this ring and not suck. Probably not Andrew Stratton, though. Some people are just beyond help.

(Jacques leans over the top rope.)

(Jacques Couteau) But I didn't come out here just to win a match and insult people who deserve it. No, I just thought I'd take the time to explain the new threads. You see, it is my belief that a champion should dress the part. And since I already looked so great, there was only one way to go...

(Jacques cocks the top hat with the handle of the cane and continues.)

(Jacques Couteau) Additionally, ever since Duckie and I won these delightful titles last month, we've been looking to branch out in search of further success. To that end, we have recruited a new star into our little group, and he'll be seen for the first time in a PWR ring right here tonight!

(The fans murmur in anticipation. It doesn't matter that Jacques is an ass, a new wrestler is always exciting.)

(Chris Cash) A new member to the PWR roster? I haven't heard anything about this.

(Jacques reaches into his jacket once more and retrieves... an action figure. A few people in the crowd laugh and applaud, but most just pour derision on the swerve.)

(Jacques Couteau) Hey now, I wouldn't make him angry if I were you. He did knock out Flash once just for looking at him wrong, and you've all seen Flash's list of accomplishments. And just think, if little Action Jacques here is that powerful, then the full-size model must be that much more so! Now it's time to prove it.

(Jacques nonchalantly tosses the microphone to a ringside attendant, then carefully removes his outer vestments before leaving the ring to place them on the table himself.)

(Chris Cash) Clearly he cares more about his clothes than PWR property. Regardless, you can't argue with his record. Let's see what he can do against Andrew Stratton here tonight.

Grudge Match (Honor Division)
Jacques Couteau vs Andrew Stratton
The first of the split tag team matches takes place now as ½ of the former PWR Global-Honor Tag Team Champions, Andrew Stratton takes on ½ of the current PWR Global-Honor Tag Team Champions in Jacques Couteau! "Flat On The Floor" by Nickelback plays as the Detroit native, Andrew Stratton, makes his way down to the ring. The crowd actually behind Stratton considering the remarks of Couteau and Maloy earlier in the night; Stratton gets down to the ring and rolls inside before posturing to the crowd that chants his name. The Texas crowd turns their attention back to Jacques, who after placing his ring attire personally at ringside, starts to come back toward the ring. Jacques places his new friend, Action Jacques in his corner, and he makes his way up the ring stairs and looks out upon the crowd, and that brings the "boo-birds" out, as they're really letting Jacques have it.

Winner by pinfall at 11:14 - Jacques Couteau

(Chris Cash) Couteau with the devastating Shoulder Blade, and he picks up the duke right in the middle of the ring. The G-H Tag Champs are up one on their challengers! Let's head to the back, where Stacy Warren is standing by with The Hellraisers.

(The camera opens up backstage with Stacy Warren.)

(Stacy Warren) Thanks Chris, I'm here with Anthony Montez and Shane Meadows; better known to the PWR audience as the Hellraisers. Tonight, you guys take on the unlikely duo of Duncan McCloud and the current PWR Pure Wrestling Champion, Primetime Punisher. Your thoughts?

(Anthony Montez) Our thoughts? Here you go! We are the best tag team in PWR, bar none.

(Shane Meadows) We haven't been a team for long but we have shown while being a team that we are…in a word…unbeatable! Tonight will be no different.

(Stacy Warren) You say you guys are the best, do yo have any words for the PWR Tag Team Champions, The Whoresmen?

(Anthony Montez) Shane! Mavick! If we aren't on your radar yet, we will be tonight!

(Shane Meadows) Before the end of the night, you will see no other contenders BUT The Hellraisers!

(Meadows and Montez walk off as the screen as Chris Cash picks up on commentary.)

Singles Match (Honor Division)
Matt Flash vs "Hollywood" Duckie Maloy
"10th Man Down" by Nightwish hits over the PA, and out from behind the curtain steps one half of the PWR Global-Honor Tag Team Champions, "Hollywood" Duckie Maloy! Maloy will be looking to follow in the footsteps of his partner, Jacques Couteau here tonight by picking up a win over one half of the former G-H Tag Champs. Maloy enters the ring and poses on the buckles, as "Worth Dying For" by Rise Against blares out over the loudspeakers and out walks the very determined Matt Flash! Both Flash and Stratton were unhappy that they lost the Tag belts without being pinned on our last show, but they will get their chance at vindication at Rise II Power! Flash slides into the ring and stares down Maloy, as the referee calls for the bell, getting this one underway. Both men circle the ring, sizing each other up and they lock up in the middle of the ring. Maloy quickly yanks Flash's arm down, and turns it into an arm wrench. Maloy using his 11-inch size advantage to gain the upper hand. Maloy twists the arm once more, and wrenches down on the shoulder of Flash a bit more. Flash trying to get to the ropes to force a break, he runs to the ropes, up the corner, and floats over, and turns the tables on Maloy, wrenching his arm now! Athletic maneuver by Matt Flash right there! Maloy pushes Flash to the ropes and the referee attempts to get in between the two and force the break, and he does, both men break cleanly. Maloy and Flash back away from the ropes, and begin to circle the ring again. Maloy and Flash coming together for another lock up, but Maloy bluffs it and catches Flash with a boot to the midsection! Flash doubles over, as Maloy unleashes with a couple of strong right hands, stunning Flash momentarily. Flash stumbles back to the ropes as Maloy comes in, keeping the pressure on him. Maloy grabs the arm and Irish whips Flash into the ropes, Flash off the opposite side, Maloy runs and connects with a knee into the midsection, sending Flash tumbling over his knee and down to the mat. Maloy quickly down for the cover, 1 ……… KICKOUT by Matt Flash! Perhaps a little too early for the fall there, but you can never blame anyone for trying. Anything can happen here in PWR, that's for sure. Maloy pulls Flash back up to a seated position, and locks on a wrenching headlock on Flash. Maloy really wrenching back on the neck of Flash, and it looks like Maloy is trying to pull Flash's head off his shoulders! Flash turns to a knee and is trying to work himself up to his feet, and after a few moments he finally does! Flash standing up, he turns to his side and picks Maloy up and drops him with a belly to back suplex! Maloy's head caroms off the mat, and Flash is down as well, trying to shake some of the cobwebs! Flash finally over to make the lateral press, 1 ……… 2 ……… KICKOUT by Maloy! Maloy manages to roll the shoulder off the mat! Flash grabs Maloy by the hair and pulls him up to his feet. Matt Flash grabs Maloy in a gutwrench and connects with the suplex! Picture perfect move by Matt Flash! Flash to his feet and he heads out onto the apron. What's Matt Flash looking to do here, he springs to the top rope and leaps off and connects with a leg drop! Flash drops the leg right across the neck of Duckie Maloy! Flash turns and makes the cover and hooks a leg, 1 ……… 2 ……… KICKOUT by Maloy! Maloy just barely getting the shoulder up that time! Flash pulls Maloy to his feet once more, and he hooks him with a front face lock, could be looking for that brainbuster! Flash goes to lift him, but Maloy blocks it! Flash tries it once more, but Maloy blocks it again! Maloy counters and takes Matt Flash over with a suplex of his own! What a counter by Duckie Maloy! Maloy up slowly, but Matt Flash is getting up even slower! Maloy over and he unleashes with a right hand as Flash gets to his feet and he knocks him back into the ropes! Maloy grabs Flash by the arm, Irish whip in by Maloy, Flash off the ropes, and he runs into a big boot from Duckie Maloy! Matt Flash snaps back down to the mat! Maloy quickly drops an elbow on Flash, and makes a lateral press, 1 ……… 2 ……… KICKOUT by Flash! Maloy showing no hesitation as he grabs Flash and pulls him back to his feet and tosses him into the corner. Maloy grabs Flash by the arm whips him across the ring, Flash reverses and sends Maloy into the buckles! Flash charges Maloy, going for a running knee in the corner, Maloy sidesteps and Flash crashes into the top buckle knee first! Matt Flash falls back to the mat, clutching his knee; he may have done some serious damage! Maloy walks over to the fallen Flash and grabs his leg, and begins to work over the potentially damaged knee of Matt Flash! Maloy with a series of stomps to the back of the knee, softening it up even more! Maloy finally decides he's done enough work, and he grabs Flash's leg and he locks on the Figure-Four Leglock! Flash is howling out in agony, who knows what kind of more damage is being done to his knee right now! Flash scooting across the mat, trying to make his way to the ropes, so he can break this hold by Duckie Maloy! Maloy pulling back on that leg of Flash, trying to force a submission, it looks like it's going to work, I think Flash is going to give it up! He's got his hand in the air but will he tap out?? No, he makes one final scoot and he grabs the bottom rope! What fortitude being shown by Matt Flash here, but the damage may have already been done! He was in that hold for a long time, and he may have some serious structural damage to that knee! Maloy pulls Flash to his feet and stands him up, but Flash is very wobbly legged! Duckie grabs Flash around the throat, going for the chokeslam, he takes him up and slams him hard back down to the mat! Flash looks out of it! Maloy with the cover and a hook of the leg, 1 ……… 2 ……… Flash gets a foot on the rope! Maloy just a little too close, and Flash, utilizing great ring awareness gets his foot on the rope! Maloy starting to show a little frustration here, wondering what it's going to take to put Matt Flash away here. Maloy pulls Flash back to his feet and Irish whips him into the ropes, Flash hobbles in and he stops on the ropes! Maloy charges and goes for a clothesline, but Flash ducks out of the way! Maloy hits the ropes, Matt Flash with the schoolboy, 1 ……… 2 ……… KICKOUT by Duckie Maloy! Maloy narrowly gets the shoulder up, off the great counter by Matt Flash! Flash slowly back to his feet, Duckie up first and he nearly takes Flash's head off with the clothesline! Maloy stands over the fallen Flash, and he gives the signal that he's going for the Pepsi Plunge! Maloy grabs Flash and heads to the outside, and he scales the top rope! Maloy up top, and he begins to pull Flash up to him! Flash quickly thinking knocks Maloy's leg from out under him and Maloy crotches himself on the buckle! That will ruin your weekend! Flash pulls Maloy off the ropes and onto his shoulders, wait a second, Flash throws Maloy over and hits the Flash in the Pain! Big Death Valley Driver by Matt Flash! Flash over and hooks the leg, 1 ……… 2 ……… 3!! Matt Flash picks up the comeback victory!
Winner by pinfall at 14:39 - Matt Flash

(Chris Cash) What a great match between these two Honor Division superstars, and what a nice win for Matt Flash! He evens up the series between these two teams, and the winner at Rise II Power will get the series win and the G-H Tag Team Titles! Right now, let's go backstage as we have a few words from the men who will face off against each other at Rise II Power for the Pure Wrestling Championship. Here is Duncan McCloud and Primetime Punisher!!

(The scene fades backstage to Duncan McCloud sitting in his locker room.)

(Duncan McCloud) *sighs* So it seems that the powers-that-be here in PWR are jokesters. Regular pranksters. The show before PWR's biggest show of the year... you are gonna put opponents on the same side of the ring in a tag match. Let me remind you, I am a business man. I know what's smart. PTP… watch your ass. We will win as a team, but tonight… you will be the ultimate loser!

(Camera switches off McCloud and goes to PTP, standing by in his locker room.)

(Primetime Punisher) Duncan McCloud and I have wrestled each other many times over the past year, but tonight, we are tag team partners. Duncan already has my respect and I'm sure he has the same for me. We will put all of our differences aside for one night, and we will go into this match with the same common goal. And that goal is to win! We both know what it takes to win, and we will do whatever it takes to come out victorious.

(Chris Cash) It's painfully obvious that these guys don't like each other; it will be fun to see how they react as partners! Let's get down to the ring!

Tag Team Match
The Hellraisers (Anthony Montez & Shane Meadows) vs Primetime Punisher & Duncan McCloud
This random pairing of opponents is sure to make for good competition. "Live For This" by Hatebreed plays as The Hellraisers make their way to the ring! They are walking to the ring with a purpose and one motive in mind; to prove that they are the only tag team in PWR that matter! They enter the ring and await for their opponents. "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns and Roses plays as Primetime Punisher and Duncan McCloud come down to the ring. Wait, did I say that right? The Pure Champion and the Number 1 Contender are walking out together? I guess the lion has laid down with the lam tonight! PTP and McCloud walk towards the ring and enter on different sides. The referee corrals PTP and McCloud in the same corner and makes his checks. The man in charge demands that two men start off this match.

Winners by pinfall at 11:30 - Primetime Punisher & Duncan McCloud

(Chris Cash) Surprisingly, McCloud was one-hundred percent correct! He did win, but look at the price Primetime Punisher paid! His blood is all over the mat! Wow! Right now, let's cut to some more words from the Honor division!

(Camera cuts to the locker room of "Atlantic City" Enrique DeJesus)

("Atlantic City" Enrique DeJesus) Well the time has come for yours truly to establish himself here in PWR. I worked too hard and long just to depend on other people to dictate where I stand here. It's time for me to show all of you out there exactly what Mr. AC is all about! Terrell Yelder and Corporate Crusher, prepared to get ROLLED OUT!

(The scene cuts backstage to Corporate Crusher.)

(Corporate Crusher) Enrique DeJesus…Terrell Yelder…Corporate Crusher. Three men who have dedicated their lives to the sport of professional wrestling in one ring at one time! Title implications and all, the fact remains that this is a very big match! Only one man can win…and that's me! It's time that Double C shows the world that the Honor Division is mine.

(Crusher grimaces into the camera as the scene switches to the Circle of the Black Thorn locker room with Terrell Yelder.)

(Terrell Yelder) Ah, another time where Terrell Yelder has to show off his greatness once again. Does anyone get it? I don't think so. Everyone is so blind to me and my abilities. Those days are OVER! Tonight, I take these two assclowns to school and show them that I am Terrell F'N Yelder; the best wrestler in the world!

(Camera fixates on Terrell as Chris Cash provides comments.)

(Chris Cash) What a match this should be, when we come back!

:::COMMERCIAL BREAK:::

PWR IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE ASPCA AND PETA! HAVE YOUR PETS SPAYED OR NEUTERED! THIS AD HAS BEEN PAID FOR BY MICHAEL VICK.

:::CAMERA GOES BACKSTAGE:::

(We go to the Circle of the Black Thorn locker room where Stacy Warren is walking through the door.)

(Stacy Warren) Hey babe.

(Mavick) Where ya been?

(Stacy Warren) I've been out doing my job.

(MJM) Long night of sucking co…

(Terrell Yelder) Hey hey hey. There is no need for that MJ.

(MJM) If interviewing people is her job why isn't she doing it now?

(Stacy Warren) Because, I'm part of this group now. Let Lizzie interview us.

(Shane Montez) Mav, what is she talking about? She's not part of the Circle.

(Stacy Warren) What? Mav, you're the champ. Tell them I'm part of the group.

(Marcus K. Yelder) Yeah champ. Tell us she's part of the group.

(Marcus makes a whip cracking sound)

(Mavick) Come on. I'm not whipped.

(Terrell Yelder) Then tell her she's not one of us.

(Mavick looks at Stacy who is looking at him all sexy like.)

(Mavick) Come on guys. Can we talk about this?

(Curse starts making the whip cracking sound over and over.)

(Mavick) Shut up Curse.

(Curse Coltrane) Shouldn't you ask your woman permission before talking?

(Mavick gets up and storms out of the room. Stacy Warren gets up and starts to follow him.)

(Shane Montez) Hey Stacy wait.

(Stacy stops and turns to Shane.)

(Stacy Warren) What?

(Shane Montez) Get back here and do your damn job.

(Stacy Warren) I don't have to listen to you.

(Terrell Yelder) Do you like being employed?

(Stacy Warren) Of course I do.

(Terrell Yelder) And you think you'll have a job long when BSY and Syn find out you're not doing what they pay you to do?

(Shane Montez) Yeah, they can't be too happy with you wanting to be one of us.

(Stacy Warren) Fine. Who has something to say? Shane, how about you? The first match announced for Rise II Power is Shane Donovan challenging you for your Rated R Title.

(Shane Montez) Rise II Power it's the Rated R Title. Tonight it's The World Tag Titles. Wherever, whenever for whatever title, the outcome will more then likely be the same. With Shane Donovan beaten and bloodied holding the same title he holds right now.

(Stacy Warren) Shane Donovan doesn't have a title right now.

(MJM) Wow… she's a quick one.

(Stacy Warren) Tomorrow night, you face Greggs in the final match of the Eddie Guerrero Memorial Franchise Cup.

(Terrell Yelder) Greggs got lucky.

(Marcus K. Yelder) I'm the real PWR Franchise.

(Terrell pats Marcus on the top of the head.)

(Terrell Yelder) You sure are big guy. Who's the franchise, who's the franchise?

(Marcus slaps Terrell's hand away.)

(Marcus K. Yelder) Screw you Terrell.

(Curse Coltrane) Ah brotherly love.

(Stacy Warren) Speaking of brothers. How does it feel to have your own brother join The New Blood?

(MJM) I don't get him sometimes. First he says he wants to stand on his own and do it himself. Now he is joining up with the enemy.

(Shane Montez) He's young and confused. If he doesn't want his family having his back that's a lesson he is going to have to learn. But you know, he is a Montez so he could very well have major success.

(Mavick walks back in the room followed by The Executioner.)

(Terrell Yelder) Welcome back Mavick.

(Curse Coltrane) Mav, I have come up with a solution to your problem. I have used my mighty mind powers to come up with a compromise.

(Mavick) Oh, this should be good.

(Curse Coltrane) She wants to be part of the group. Any group would probably due. So why not let her be part of the Whoresmen?

(Mavick) That's not a bad idea. You surprised me Curse.

(Curse Coltrane) Yeah, she's already got the whore part down.

(Stacy Warren) MOVING ON! It's The Executioner. Shane last week you offered him a spot. But I'm sure that since he didn't lay down for you the offer has been pulled.

(Shane looks at The Executioner and starts to clap.)

(Shane Montez) That was one hell of a match last week. And that's why the offer is still on the table. In fact that is why the offer was put out there to begin with. We know talent when we see it.

(The Executioner) I've thought about it all week. And I still don't know.

(Terrell Yelder) You still don't know? The choice is simple. Look around, what you see is a group full of winners. Championship Titles laying all over the place. You have to ask yourself, do you want to leave here and go join The New Blood. Who have no Champions I might add. Or do you want to join the best damn stable ever assembled?

(Shane Montez) If you want to (BLEEP) with the eagles you have to learn to fly. We can teach you how to fly. And yes, that was the F-Word, damned censors.

(Mavick) (BLEEP) with the eagles? What the hell is that?

(Shane Montez) I heard it in a movie. Great line.

(The Executioner) I still don't know.

(Mavick) This isn't a hard decision. By joining us, you get to hang out with the coolest people in the world. We go to so many parties with Hollywood's hottest celebrities it's amazing we have time to do anything else. You get to make money. A whole lot of money. You get to win titles. What could be better then money, titles and parties?

(Shane Montez) Speaking of parties, I was talking to Hef yesterday and he invited us to the mansion this weekend.

(The Executioner) You guys sold me. I'm in, and this weekend Hef's ladies are going to find out why I'm the Excellence of Execution.

(Terrell Yelder) You made the right choice. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a match.

(Shane Montez) Indeed.

(Terrell gets up and walks out the door.)

(Stacy Warren) One last thing Shane. Last week you said you had something planned for this week. What is it?

(Shane Montez) Tune in tomorrow night on Overload and find out.

(Stacy Warren) You heard it here first people. The Executioner is the newest member of the Circle of the Black Thorn. And tune in to Overload to find out what Shane has planned.

(Camera transitions to inside the arena.)

(Chris Cash) Welcome back inside the arena, and it seems that The Circle just keeps growing, as now The Executioner has joined the ranks. It's truly sad, because yours truly thinks they only added him because he was a threat to them. But, they do get alot of perks from their worldwide fame. Hell, Shane and Syn used to date Alyssa Milano & Elisha Cuthbert awhile back. Some perks. Right now, it's time for a dynamic triple threat in the Honor Division, Crusher, EDJ and Terrell, let's get to the ring for the introductions.

Triple Threat Match (Honor Division)

Winner by pinfall at 12:43 - "The Saviour" Terrell Yelder

(Chris Cash) What a clothesline! What a match! Terrell Yelder has shown his way back into the main event scene in the Honor Division with a win like that! Marcus K. Yelder better beware, his brother is coming!

(The camera switches abruptly backstage to show Bryan Kros and Shane Donovan walking towards the Gorilla position. Suddenly, two masked men attack with kendo sticks and lay out The New Blood! Jasmine Skyy and Lacey both run away for help as the masked men lay out the number 1 contenders for the Tag Team Championship!)

(Chris Cash) That has to be the Whoresmen! They are the only ones low enough to do this to the competition!

(Into focus comes the PWR Tag Team Champions, Shane Montez and Mavick, as they make eye contact with the masked men.)

(Shane Montez) Mav, look! Someone has made our night easy.

(Mavick) Look guys, we don't need bodyguards. Look at our guns! We have more arsenal than we have use for.

(The masked men don't budge. Shane reaches into his trunks and pulls out a roll of money.)

(Shane Montez) I was going to use this at the strip club tonight but I guess you kids need it more. Here you go, make it rain!

(Mavick) Damnit man! I wanted to see Roxxi Foxx tonight!

(Shane Montez) You will, don't worry!

(The masked men throw the money down on the floor and back away.)

(Shane Montez) What the hell? Who was that?

(Camera fades out to commercial.)

:::COMMERCIAL BREAK:::

THE FIRST ANNUAL PWR AWARDS!! COMING SOON!!

:::BACK TO RINGSIDE:::

(Chris Cash) Welcome back to PWR Full Throttle, and what a sickening sight before we went to break. I would venture to say, someone from The Circle has taken out Bryan Kros, and he has been taken to a Dallas medical facility. We will bring you updates as we get them, and obviously, the originally scheduled World Tag Team Title match for tonight's main event is off. However, the show rolls on, and right now, let's take you to comments from some of the participants in the Ladder Match for the PWR United States Title.

The camera opens up inside of a dark room with two red dots peering through the darkness, suddenly the dots blink and an evil laugh bellows out of the darkness.)

(Voice) WELCOME TO MY HAPPY LAND. COME ON IN, CHILDREN; TAKE MY HAND, HERE THERE'S NO WORK OR PLAY, ONLY ONE TRIBUTE TO PAY. THERE'S JUST FIVE WORDS TO SAY, AS YOU GO DOWN, YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE THINGS I'VE DONE WRONG IN MY LIFE, WITHOUT EVEN TRYING, I'VE LIVED ON THE EGDE OF A KNIFE. WELL, I'VE PLAYED WITH FIRE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET MYSELF BURNED. TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE, SO I THINK THAT IT'S TIME FOR A TURN, FOR YOU TO BURN IN HELL!!!

(The camera turns to pure black, as the evil laughter continues until if fades away. The camera quickly turns to "The Thrillbilly" Jericho Kane.)

("The Thrillbilly" Jericho Kane) Tonight, this southern boy gets his shot to represent this great country as the United States Champion. Four other tough bastards and one ladder, and in the end, I will be standing atop that ladder, with that shiny belt in my hands. If you don't believe me, then you can kiss my rebel ass!!

(Camera switches to "Madd Dogg" Mike.)

("Madd Dogg" Mike) This is my first title opportunity in a while. But ya see, it does not come easy as I must face 4 other superstars. If I win, I'm the new US Champ. Let me ask you people something, would Skullman ever had the skills to pull off a win as big as this? Don't think so. "Madd Dogg" Mike, on the other hand, does have the skills to pull off a win, and will pull off a win. And when you see me next time, I'll be the NEW United States Champion.

(Camera switches to The Executioner)

(The Executioner) As you all know, The Executioner lost the finals last week. But I did something that 1/2 the roster couldn't do. #1 Making it to the very end, and #2 Take The Sensational Shooter, the legend of legends in the business to the limit. I was an Execution away from victory, now I can't change the past, its all done. Now I want to make something clear to all of the competitors in the ladder match for the United States Title, watch out for that Execution, because it only takes one to end your dreams of becoming champion. If there's only one man who's going to leave Dallas the US title around his waist, the man who will come out victorious will be none other than yours truly, The Executioner.

(Camera switches to a shot of MJM.)

(MJM) I am the only two-time PWR World Heavyweight Champion, and now, I look to become the only the second person to hold both the World Title and the US Title, and I will do that. Then, at Rise II Power, Franklin, I am going to make you wish you never came out of retirement.

(Camera switches back to Chris Cash inside the arena.)

(Chris Cash) What a match this is going to be! Let's get to the ring for all the action!
