Victor Cross enters the ring, the crowd pumped up for this sure-to-be-interesting eight-man tag. "The following contest is an eight-man tag match, and is scheduled for one fall!"

The lights in the arena dim to an ice blue as the opening percussion solo of "Come Out and Play" by The Offspring comes over the loudspeakers, dark blue fog billowing up from the top of the entrance ramp and spreading out to obscure the entire ramp and curtain area. The lights quickly flash to dark blue, to purple, then back to ice blue, following the three quick guitar strums in the song's opening. A voice comes over the speakers, the music halting for a moment as it speaks.

You gotta keep 'em seperated...

Two huge, dark blue fireworks erupt from either side of the top of the entrance ramp, flying across each other in an X shape as Seraph and Kanyon run out from the fog hiding the curtain, dashing to either side of the entrance ramp and throwing their arms up in the air, the crowd erupting into cheers for one of their most beloved tag teams. As the guitar solo fades into normal acoustic guitar strums, Heat slowly strides out from behind the fog, Gaia title belt wrapped around his waist, the crowd cheering even louder at this point as he throws his arm up in the air, fire exploding out from the edges of the BarTron. Heat continues to make his way down the ramp as a flock of holgraphic ravens gather at the top of the ramp, suddenly bursting away with a flutter of wings as fans blow away the fog, showing Ravena standing at the top of the ramp, smiling out to the crowd before following the rest of her faction down to the ring as the song begins its first verse.

"Introducing first, at a combined weight of eight hundred fifty-five pounds, they are four Archetypes of eXcellence...The Heat, Ravena, and H.A.L.O.!" The four slide into the ring, each running to a different turnbuckle and pulling themselves up onto the middle ropes, throwing their arms up into X's, the crowd cheering even louder for the face team. The four jump back down and head off to their corner as "Come Out and Play" fades out.

Past matches of the Generation of Legends are shown on the BarTron, the GoL logo appearing on screen after a few moments as the opening guitar solo of "This Is Now" by Hatebreed hits, the crowd booing and jeering as Bryan Kutterman walks out through the curtains, smirking out at the crowd as he walks down to the center of the entrance ramp. Kutterman throws his arms out to the side in the crucifix position as pyros erupt up from the stage, Iron and Apolo walking out from the back and following their leader down to the ring.

"And their opponents, at a combined weight of nine hundred fifty-seven pounds, they are the team of 'The Underground Legend' Bryan Kutterman, Iron, and Apolo...the GENERATION OF LEGENDS!!!" The crowd boos and jeers even louder as GoL are announced, the three men ignoring the fans and continuing down to the ring, Kutterman sliding in under the bottom rope as Apolo and Iron move to go up the steel steps, Kutterman taunting the crowd for a bit before leaning back against the turnbuckle, Apolo and Iron stepping over the top rope together and heading over to join their leader in the corner. Apolo, Iron and H.A.L.O. have a short staredown, the face tag team still not happy about having lost their titles to the GoL. Iron and Apolo just grin, then turn toward the entrance ramp as their theme fades out.

SO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK SUPERSTAR?!?!

The crowd begins a chorus of boos, not particularly heavy ones, reluctant to jeer an old favorite, but not happy with the way Shadow has acted towards Heat as of late. The sound of a motorcycle engine revving up is heard for a few moments before Shadow rides out onto the top of the entrance ramp in his custom Ducati, looking out over the crowd with narrowed eyes, obviously not happy at the reception. He shakes his head, then revvs his engine up a few times before beginning to drive down the ramp.

"And their partner, weighing in at two hundred fifty-six pounds...SHADOW STARR!!!" Shadow doesn't bother to take a lap around the ring this time, just stopping his motorcycle at the corner of the ring and heading up the steel steps before slipping through the ropes, heading over towards his corner and speaking with Kutterman for a few moments as "Rock Superstar" by Cypress Hill fades out.

After a few moments, the two teams decide to send out Iron and Heat. After Joe makes sure both teams are in their respective corners, he asks if both men are ready, then signals for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Iron runs forward in an attempt to rush Heat, only to be taken down in a Drop Toe-Hold by the Gaia Champion. Iron stands up, only to be knocked back into the corner by a series of chops from Heat, who then goes to Irish Whip Iron across the ring, but Iron reverses it, sending Heat into the corner instead. Iron then runs forward and grabs Heat around the waist, pulling him out of the corner and tossing him backwards with a huge Release Belly-to-Belly Suplex, driving Heat's back down into the mat from the move, the ring shaking from the force. Heat manages to get up quickly enough, grabbing Iron's arm as he tries to follow up and taking him over in an Arm Drag. Iron gets back up, only to be taken down in another Arm Drag as he runs forward, Heat keeping the arm locked with his hands and stretching it into an Armbar. Iron cringes a bit, slowly fighting upwards to a vertical base, finally able to knock Heat down to the mat with a quick elbow, quickly walking over to his corner and tagging in Shadow, rubbing his arm a bit. The crowd watches intently now as Shadow gets into the ring, Heat getting up at this point and staring Shadow down for a few moments, but Shadow suddenly runs forward in an attempt to surprise Heat, only to get a boot to the gut before Heat lifts him up in a Vertical Suplex position. After a few seconds, the crowd realizes Heat is going to stall it, immediately beginning a count. Shadow occasionally fires off a shot into Heat's ribs, but can't get much strength due to the disorientation of the blood running to his head. Finally, after a long twenty count, Heat drops to the mat and drives Shadow's back down into it with a Vertical Suplex. Heat rolls over after delivering the maneuver for a quick pin attempt. "1...2" Shadow kicks out at two. Heat picks Shadow up and whips him across the ring, ducking a Clothesline from Shadow and turning to see him bounce off the opposite set of ropes. Shadow comes forward in the attempt of a Flying Elbow, but Heat grabs his arm, whipping him around and threading his arms up through Shadow's to lock in a Full Nelson! Shadow wrenches forward, trying to break out of the move, but seems unable to get any leverage, Heat keeping the move locked in tight. After a few more moments with the hold locked in, Heat backs up to his corner, making sure to keep Shadow from escaping, calling over to Ravena, who hits his shoulder and tags herself in.

Ravena runs across the ring, Heat still holding Shadow in the Full Nelson, throwing her arms up in the air quickly and getting the crowd pumped up before running back across the ring and jumping off the ropes next to Heat, spinning to her side and catching Shadow with a Back Brain Kick, knocking him out of Heat's arms and down to the mat. Heat falls down to his knees from the momentum Ravena put into Shadow, but isn't hurt by the move, Heat hitting a quick slap across the forehead of Shadow to cheers from the crowd before backing into his corner, Ravena quickly moving over for the pin. "1...2..." Shadow kicks out once again. Ravena quickly picks Shadow up, suddenly hitting him with a European Uppercut. Shadow responds with a hard right hand to Ravena's forehead, but Ravena seems to ignore the pain, instead responding with another European Uppercut. Shadow stumbles back a bit from this one, Ravena going for a punch, but Shadow grabs her arm and pulls her into a Short-Arm Knee to the Stomach, following that up with a forearm to the side of her head before pushing her up against the ropes and going to whip her across the ring, but Ravena reverses and pulls Shadow forward right into her elbow, Shadow falling back to the mat, clutching his face. Ravena pulls Shadow over near the ropes, then grabs the top one, pulling herself up into the air and stomping her feet right down into Shadow's gut, using the ropes' elasticity to bounce up over and over, repeatedly stomping onto Shadow. Ravena stops after about seven stomps, Shadow coughing hard as he rolls over onto his stomach. Ravena picks him up, pulling him into a Front Facelock before slamming her forearm down into his back to stun him, then pushes Shadow back towards the ropes, whipping him across the ring and falling down onto her stomach, Shadow jumping over her to avoid tripping, bouncing off the opposite set of ropes and coming back to meet a Flying Forearm from Ravena. Ravena stands up, looking ready to go for another pin, but is stopped by a clubbing blow to the back of the head by Iron. Iron then starts to pick Ravena up, Kanyon quickly moving into the ring to stop him, but Joe, in an attempt to restore order, forces Kanyon back into his corner while Iron picks Ravena up and hits another hard shot to the back of her head. Shadow goes to roll out of the ring to get his bearings while Kutterman makes a clapping sound with his hands, making Joe think that he got the tag to Iron.

Iron grabs Ravena and picks her up, pushing her back into the ropes and hooking both her arms over the top rope, Ravena trying to untie her arms, but doesn't manage to get them out before Iron hits a hard knee right into her stomach. Iron then grabs Ravena's arm and whips her across the ring, but Ravena ducks a Clothesline, bouncing off the ropes and ducking a chop from Iron, bouncing off the ropes again and coming back towards Iron, who picks her up in an attempt of a Flapjack, but Ravena wraps her arm around his head and flips him over onto his back in a Headlock Takedown. Ravena keeps the Headlock cinched in, Iron moving his arms about and trying to find an area to get some leverage on Ravena, but Ravena finally decides to bring him up into a vertical base, but still keeps the Headlock in, moving over to her corner and quickly tagging in Kanyon. Kanyon hits a hard forearm across the back of Iron while Ravena keeps him in the Headlock, then moves Iron back from his corner, Ravnea moving out onto the apron. Kanyon hits a quick chop across the chest of Iron, then stops, telling Iron to come in with a chop of his own. The big man doesn't back down, hitting a Knife-Edge Chop that makes Kanyon stumble a bit, but the former tag champ retaliates with another chop across the current tag champ's chest. The two trade chops for a few moments, but soon Kanyon stops, knowing he can't win a striking battle with someone as big as Iron, instead hitting two quick forearms to the head after his last chop before pulling Iron down into a quick DDT. Kanyon then rolls over for the cover. "1...2" Iron kicks out. Kanyon picks Iron up, pulling him over to his corner and managing to pick the big man up enough to hit a Backbreaker, tagging in Heat and keeping Iron down with a Cross-Knee Backbreaker Hold, Heat quickly climbing up onto the top turnbuckle and jumping off to hit an Flying Elbow right across Iron's neck. Kanyon moves off and slips out onto the apron while Heat covers Iron for another pin. "1...2..." Iron kicks out once again to boos and jeers from the crowd.

Heat picks Iron up, whipping him across the ring and going for a Clothesline, but Iron ducks it. Heat goes for a chop as Iron comes back, but the tag champ ducks that move as well, only to be caught by a Dropkick from Heat as he comes back a third time. Heat grabs Iron's leg, pulling him over to his corner and tagging in Seraph, both of them grabbing one of Iron's legs and hitting a stomp right to the inside of his knee, Heat then moving onto the apron. Seraph grabs Iron's legs, pulling him over towards the center of the ring, then falls backwards, sending Iron up and into the corner with a Slingshot Catapult, Iron's head bouncing off the ropes. Seraph walks over and grabs Iron, pulling him out of the corner and picking him up before dragging him over to the corner in a Front Facelock and tagging in Heat again, moving Iron up before sweeping his leg out and taking him down with an STO! Seraph moves out onto the apron and Heat covers Iron for a pin. "1..2..." Apolo comes in and breaks the pin up, Heat standing up and walking over to Apolo, both of them trading punches after a moment, Joe managing to split the two and force Apolo back into his corner and prevent anyone from GoL to come out and help. Heat goes back to Iron, picking him up and twisting his arm around in an Armbar, then pulls him over to the corner, where he tags in Kanyon. Kanyon moves in, grabbing Iron's other arm and twisting it around into an Armbar as well, forcing Iron down into a bent over position, then quickly reaches over and tags in Ravena. Iron's team moves out of their corner at this time to try and help their partner, but Ravena jumps off the top turnbuckle and springboards off Iron's back before hitting a Front Dropkick to Apolo, taking him down. The rest of Iron's team is able to break up the hold on Iron, however, Shadow coming in to attack Heat while Kanyon and Kutterman square off. Ravena moves out of the way as Seraph grabs Apolo, the three groups brawling with each other while Iron stays in the corner to recuperate, Joe trying to restore order. Eventually, AoE manages to force their opponents back into the three empty corners, all three men jumping up onto the middle ropes before hitting ten punches to the heads of their opponents silmultaneously.

The three archetypes then jump back down, grabbing their opponents and whipping them all into the center of the ring at the same time, Apolo, Kutterman and Shadow colliding and slumping down onto the mat. The archetypes quickly move in, Shadow grabbing Heat and twisting his legs around into HEAT'S SHARPSHOOTER! Seraph runs over and grabs Apolo's arms, dropping down and wrenching them back, locking in the BROKEN WINGS! And finally, Kanyon grabs Kutterman and twists him up into the GRAND CANYON! The crowd pops huge for the simultaneous locking in of the signature submissions of the archetypes, Iron getting up at this point to go help his partners, running over only to get caught with a SUPERKICK FROM RAVENA! COVER! "1...2...TH-NO!" Iron kicks out to boos and jeers from the crowd, the archetypes now releasing their submissions, everyone heading back to their corners due to Joe's orders. The anarchy ends with Ravena and Apolo in the ring, Ravena hitting a quick Toekick to Apolo's gut before pulling him into a Reverse Standing Head Scissors, hooking both of his arms, but Apolo wrenches his arms out of her hold and lifts her up into an Electric Chair position, but Ravena spins around and falls backwards to go for a Hurricarana, only to have Apolo bend down and have Ravena's back hit the mat, keeping her from having the momentum needed to hit the move. Apolo picks Ravena back up, Iron now coming into the ring and lifting Ravena up so that her shoulders lay across one of his, wrapping his arms around her neck to keep her there, Kutterman quickly running at this point and grabbing Ravena around her waist, keeping her from wrenching out of the move, Joe occupied with keeping the archetypes from getting into the ring at this point, and thus isn't able to see GoL doing this, the three men falling down to their knees while still keeping Ravena in the hold, Shadow now climbing up onto the top turnbuckle and jumping off to hit a Flying Knee Drop into Ravena's stomach! GoL releases Ravena at this point, everyone rolling out of the ring except for Kutterman, Apolo making a fake tag noise again to sound as if he had tagged his leader in. Joe turns around at this point as Kutterman moves over Ravena for the pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" Ravena somehow manages to kick out from the quadruple-team move to cheers and sighs of relief from the crowd.

Kutterman picks Ravena up, pulling her into a Front Facelock before slamming her over in a Vertical Suplex, then moves up and locks in a Sleeper Hold on Ravena as he pulls her into a sitting position. Ravena flails her arms, trying to break out of the maneuver, Kutterman finally pulling Ravnea back into a prone position before scraping his boot across her forehead, the crowd jeering heavily as Kutterman smirks. Kutterman lifts Ravena up, pushing her back against the ropes and whipping her across the ring, only to be met by a boot to the gut from Ravena as she comes back. Ravena bends over, clutching her stomach from the Knee Drop Shadow had gotten on her a minute ago, and Kutterman recovers quicker, running forward and hitting a huge Lariat, making Ravena flip over onto her stomach! Kutterman doesn't go for a cover, however, instead picking her up and walking over to his corner, tagging in Iron and whipping Ravena into the corner before running forward and hitting a Clothesline, knocking Ravena back into the corner. Iron follows it up with a running Knee to the Stomach, Apolo now quickly getting in and hitting a Spear right into Ravena's stomach, knocking her back against the turnbuckles before Shadow gets in, ending the quadruple-team move with a Yakuza Kick into Ravena's face. Ravena is amazingly still standing after all of this, though her arms wrapped around the top ropes seem to be the only thing keeping her at a vertical base. Joe hasn't seen any of this, too busy keeping the archetypes in their corner to prevent them from getting into the match illegally, thus accidentally allowing GoL to work behind his back. Iron walks over to the corner and grabs Ravena by the head, hitting a Snapmare Takedown and covering her for the pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" Ravena somehow gets a shoulder up, though just barely, obviously needing a tag about now. Iron picks Ravena up, hitting her with a forearm to the side of her head before pulling her forward to go for a Headbutt, but Ravena manges to wrench out of his grasp, instead hitting a Knife-Edge Chop, but falls down from fatigue after delivering the hit, Iron retaliating by grabbing her around the waist and flipping her up into a Gutwrench Powerbomb!

The crowd is starting to get scared for Ravena at this point, not wanting her to get injured by fighting so many men bigger than her. Iron attempts to lift Ravena up by her hair, but she knocks his hands away weakly. Iron finally just goes down for a pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" Ravena still has some fight in her, managing to get a shoulder up, though it was weaker this time. Iron stands up, this time tagging in Kutterman, the GoL leader calling over to Joe and telling him to stop AoE, Kanyon attempting to get into the ring and prevent any more damage to Ravena. While Joe is distracted, Apolo and Shadow enter the ring as well, each grabbing a limb of Riona before lifting her up high in the air and slamming her down in a Four-Man Flapjack. Ravena seems completely out after this move, her face and stomach having been driven down to the mat at a height of almost eight feet. Apolo stays in the ring, however as Kutterman, Iron and Shadow exit to the apron, Kutterman once again making a fake tag sound. Ravena manages to move herself over and grab the ropes, preventing Apolo from attacking her, but he does scrape his boot over her head, the pain making her clutch her head and let go of the ropes. Apolo picks Ravena up, but Ravena suddenly fires off another Knife-Edge Chop, following it up with a European Uppercut, the crowd starting to get excited at this point, wondering if Ravena will be able to make it over to her corner for the tag. Ravena has once again fallen after delivering the European Uppercut, however, and Apolo capitalizes, lifting her up from behind and slamming her down in a Backbreaker. Apolo lifts her up for another one, but Ravena tries to fight back, hitting a series of punches to the head of Apolo and making him stumble back towards her corner, Ravena finally making the tag to Kanyo-NO! Kutterman had distracted the ref, and Joe wasn't able to see the tag, Apolo walking out of the corner and hitting a second Backbreaker on Ravena, Joe forcing Kanyon back into the corner as he goes out to help his partner, the crowd booing and jeering heavily. Iron enters the ring at this point, Apolo handing Ravena off to him, Iron picking her up and simply driving her back down into the mat with a SPINEBUSTER! The crowd boos as Iron grabs Ravena's legs, setting her up for a Slingshot Catapult, Apolo quickly moving in. Iron launches Ravena back, only to have her get intercepted with a Clothesline from Apolo, taking her down to the mat.

Iron lifts Ravena up for a Vertical Suplex, but she attempts to counter it, kicking her legs and hitting a series of shots to Iron's gut. Finally, though, Iron wins out, dropping her back in a hard Brainbuster! Iron gets up, running over to Ravena's corner and taking a cheap shot at Kanyon, the H.A.L.O. member quickly trying to get into the ring and retaliate, but Joe prevents him from doing so while Iron goes back to Ravena, dragging her over to his corner and tagging in Kutterman. Kutterman takes Ravena's legs and sets her up in a Slingshot Catapult position, Iron moving behind Kutterman, then drops back and shoots Ravena forward, only to have her jaw get caught with a Big Boot from Iron. Kutterman stands up, starting to turn Ravena over into a Boston Crab, but Seraph is in the ring at this point, walking over to help his partner, but Joe stops him and sends him back to his corner. Kutterman had released the Boston Crab in readiness to fight Seraph, but now grabs Ravena and drags her over to his corner again, tagging in Apolo. Apolo moves in, picking Ravena up and hitting a hard shot across her back before tagging in Kutterman again and setting Ravena up on his shoulders in an Electric Chair position. Kutterman climbs up onto the top turnbuckle, looking as if he's about to go for a Doomsday Device, but just as he flies off in the attempt of the Clothesline, Ravena manages to dig her nails into Apolo's eyes, making him fall to his knees and Kutterman shoot right over them. Ravena then pulls Apolo into a Reverse Standing Head Scissors, starting to hook his arms, but Shadow comes in to interfere, only to receive a kick to the gut from Ravena before she puts him down in a Standing Head Scissors, hooking both his and Apolo's arms before jumping up and hitting a DOUBLE PEDIGREE!!! The crowd erupts into cheers at this, Heat grinning as he sees Ravena use a version of his move. Ravena slowly stands up, obviously needing the tag at this point, but as she turns around, she's met with a boot to the gut by Kutterman, who pulls her down into a Standing Head Scissors and lifts her up for a PUNK HOUSE BOMB-NO!!! Ravena hits a Hurricarana, then procedes to hit a series of punches right to Kutterman's face while he's down. Finally, Ravena stands up once more, but the crowd sees Shadow moving in to provent her tag, only to get caught with a desperation SUPERKICK!!! The crowd watches intently as Ravena falls on all fours, finally dragging herself over to the corner and tagging in Kanyon!

The crowd pops huge as Kanyon gets into the ring, Seraph telling Ravena to rest up and get her strength back while he and the rest of AoE take care of GoL. Kutterman's team exits the ring, leaving Iron in to take care of Kanyon. Kanyon runs forward in an attempt to take Iron by surprise, but Iron catches him with a boot to the gut, grabbing his head and tossing him over with a Snapmare Takedown. Iron then grabs both of Kanyon's arms, wrenching them back in a Double Armbar while digging his knee into Kanyon's back. Kanyon slowly starts to get up to a vertical base, twisting around and pulling Iron down into a Backslide Pin! "1...2..." Iron kicks out. Kanyon stands up to keep his attacks going, but is taken down with a surprise Clothesline from Iron! Iron grabs Kanyon and tags in Shadow, who procedes to hit a series of shots to Kanyon's head before putting him in a Front Facelock and lifting him up for a Fisherman's Buster! Shadow rolls over for the pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" Kanyon manages to kick out, Shadow lifting him up, only to have Kanyon throw his shoulder right into Shadow's gut before grabbing his head and pointing at the turnbuckle, running up the ropes and twisting in the air to pull Shadow down into the ARCHETYPE CUTTER MARK II!!! The crowd erupts into cheers as Kanyon hits the modified Acid Drop, slamming Shadow's face down into the mat. Shadow and Kanyon slowly begin to move out towards their corners, both tagging in at the same time, leaving Seraph and Iron in the ring. Seraph runs forward and catches Iron by surprise, hitting him with a series of punches and chops that knock Iron back against the ropes. Seraph goes to whip Iron across the ring, but Iron pulls Seraph right into his forearm before running off the ropes and going for a Lariat, but Seraph grabs his arm and hooks it up into a Half Nelson, setting him up for the HIGHWI-NO! Iron manages to pull out of the maneuver, but Seraph hits a quick chop across his back before leapfrogging over Iron and running up to the ropes, bouncing off and catching Iron with a Springboard Spinning Wheel Kick! The crowd is hot at this point, Joe making sure this time that GoL doesn't interfere, Seraph standing near the ropes as Iron slowly gets up, waiting until he's on one knee before running forward and jumping off his knee, grabbing Iron's head and twisting in the air before pulling him down in the ARCHETYPE CUTTER MARK III!!! The crowd pops huge as Seraph rolls Iron over for the pin. "1...2...THR-NO!" Seraph seems shocked that Iron was able to kick out.

Seraph and Iron slowly get up, Iron coming forward and hitting a quick shot to the face before running over to bounce off the ropes and come at Seraph from the side, but Seraph quickly turns and lifts Iron up in a Back Body Drop! Seraph falls to his knees after hitting the move, clutching his arm, it obviously having taken a huge amount of strength to pick Iron up for that maneuver. Seraph grabs Iron as he gets up and hits a quick Toekick, then runs towards the ropes, hitting a Rising Knee into Iron's face as he does so, bouncing off them and running past Iron, grabbing his head as he passes and pulling him down into a Neckbreaker! The crowd is hot at this point, knowing that Seraph is on a roll, wanting to see AoE pull out the win in this match. But at this point, Apolo has entered the ring, going over to help his partner, grabbing Seraph from behind and lifting him for the ENDLE-NO!!! Seraph slips off Apolo's shoulders, twisting him around to face him and hitting a kick to the gut before stepping off Apolo's knee and hitting another ARCHETYPE CUTTER MARK III!!! Kutterman and Shadow are in now, but Heat and Kanyon quickly come in to prevent them from interfering, both hitting a series of strikes and knocking them back into the ropes. Finally, Kanyon and Heat both hit Toekicks before Kanyon jumps up and delivers a DUSTY ROAD TO KUTTERMAN!!! At the same time, Heat pulls Shadow into a Standing Head Scissors and hits a GAME OVER!!! The crowd is on their feet, knowing that AoE is only a step away from winning. Seraph calls over to Kanyon and Heat, saying it's time to take out Iron. Heat and Kanyon nod, Kanyon moving over to join his partner while Heat places Iron into a Standing Head Scissors, taking a deep breath before lifting him up for a Powerbomb! The crowd watches, amazed as Heat slowly lifts Iron up and slams him down for a second Powerbomb! Kanyon and Seraph run across the ring and bounce off the ropes at this point, the crowd gasping in amazement as Heat finally lifts Iron up one more time as Kanyon and Seraph bounce off the ropes, flipping backwards and grabbing Iron's head as Heat slams him down, hitting the ARCHETYPE BOMB!!! The crowd erupts into cheers as Iron's head and neck are driver down into the mat, but Apolo is up, moving over to keep AoE from capitalizing, but Heat and Kanyon tell Seraph to finish Iron off while they stand up and run forward, hitting a Double Clothesline and knocking Apolo over the ropes out of the ring! As they do so, Seraph climbs up onto the top turnbuckle, looking out over the crowd before jumping back and spinning his body around to hit the LIMITED MOON!!! COVER!!! "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!"

The crowd pops huge as "Step Up" by Drowning Pool hits, Seraph moving off of Iron. "Here are your winners, the team of The Heat, Seraph, Irvine Kanyon and Ravena...THE ARCHETYPES OF EXCELLENCE!!!" Ravena enters the ring as AoE forms a line, all four members raising their arms up into the air as the crowd cheers louder. Kanyon walks over to the ropes and asks for a microphone, an official handing him one as the crowd quiets down, waiting to hear what Kanyon had to say. "So, Iron, Apolo, you guys figure that because you beat Empty Promises and the Renegade Souljahz, you're going to dominate the Full Metal Mayhem match at Legacy of Supremacy? Well, you're sadly mistaken. Because the High Altitude Low Operatives just took you out!" The crowd pops once again as Kanyon grins, looking down at Iron and Apolo, both men still dazed from the attacks. "When the dust settles after Full Metal Mayhem, it'll be Seraph and Irvine Kanyon walking out of the ring with the tag titles! Not the Generation of Legends! And I'm pretty sure that THAT is grand!" The crowd cheers again as Kanyon hands the microphone off to Seraph. "Empty Promises...Renegade Souljahz...Generation of Legends...At Legacy of Supremacy, in that Full Metal Mayhem match...you will all be taken..." Seraph stops for just a moment to let the crowd join in.

"TO A HIGHER LEVEL!!!" The crowd cheers as Seraph drops the mic and leaves the ring with the rest of his faction, Heat stopping to look down at Shadow for a few moments, who has gotten up to one knee, the Gaia Champion's former friend looking up at him with a glare for a few moments before Heat shakes his head and exits the ring, the Archetypes exiting through the curtains.

OOC: |Reserved for Madness 3-8 Opening|

OOC: |Reserved for Kutterman vs. Twilight|

After the commercial break ended, TT was already there, standing in the ring wearing his usual blue ring attire as he tightened his gloves and stared at the entrance for his coming opponent

The arena then went dark as the opening riffs for "Out Of The Mud" played from the speakers, and two sets of green lasers skimmed back and forth across the front entrance.

RAAAAWWWWWWW

The BarTron lit up with static as a shower of green sparks fell from the entryway with Kage's silhouette walking out to the ring as the spotlight followed him and the house lights went back on while Kage entered the ring and stared with a lack of emotion at the Tiger, as Tiger did the same.

The bell rang and without provocation, Kage swung his knee into Tiger's gut, and followed with a snapped European Uppercut, as Kage then reared his fist back for another hit, the cruiserweight dropped low and spiked his legs out at Kage's knee, dropping Ray on one knee while Tiger got back up and ran against the opposite ropes, catching Kage in a bulldog from behind as he got up.

Kage's head bounced off the mat with the bulldog but recovering he got back up and grabbed a spinning wheel kick by Tiger, sweeping his other foot out from under him and planting him on his back. Still holding the Tiger's leg, Kage planted one free foot on his opponent's windpipe and rotated his body around the planted leg while administering an awkward spinning toe hold, which was stopped by the referee once he noticed Tiger choking.

Tiger got back to his feet once again and the two fighters began to exchange punches, Tiger gained some momentum and swiftly leapt backwards, planting his feet on the second rope and then proppelling himself back at Kage with a springboard body splash, knocking his bigger opponent on his back for the pin, but Kage abruptly kicked out and got to his feet, shaking his head lightly before he quickly stomped at Tiger who was halfway up, knocking him back down as he mounted his opponent and viciously hammered his fists left and right in an erratic and brutal fashion, similar to that seen in Ultimate fighting bouts, punches that the infamous Ken Shamrock was known for.

After his pounding had been stopped by Schmoe once again, Kage lifted Tiger up and got him into a standing headlock, lifting his body into the air and suspending it in a stall suplex position, then flinging his own body forwards, flapjacking the cruiserweight with a dropping suplex. Kage wasted little time and pressed his advantage, whipping Tiger into the corner turnbuckle and laying down a tornado of right handed punches to the jaw as Tiger became slumped back

Headhunter:Yeah, pummel him!
The Voice:The Tiger isn't going to be beaten by just punches Sharpton, Kage is going to need to get technical if he wants this match won
Headhunter:Yeah...but...it's less fun that way
*Nothing is heard from vic, except for a dissapointed sigh*

Schmoe broke up Kage's assault once again as Tiger gripped the middle ropes on either side of him and leaned back against the turnbuckle as Kage came in for another attack, but Tiger sprung both legs out and sunk them deep into Kage's midsection, knocking the madman back as Tiger hopped to the top turnbuckle and went airborne and layed kage out with a flying lariat to a huge pop from his fans in the crowd.

both combatants were on their backs as Tiger slowly reached over Kage for the pin "1...2.." Kage lifted a shoulder as TT got up and lifted Kage with him, whipping Kage to the ropes, Kage reversed and caught TT on the rebound with a brutal Mountain Neck Bomb (High Angle Spike Samoan Drop)

Once again Kage was on the offensive, and his eyes were furious, he was getting frustrated and it was obvious he wanted to end this match, dropping a harsh spike elbow across Tiger's windpipie, he quickly covered TT for the pin.

"1!...2!!!...Thre-" Tiger broke up as Kage smashed his fists against the mat and Tiger's face. Kage slid out from under the ring as he shoved Victor Cross from his seat and folded the steel chair as boos and jeers filled Barton Arena. Kage slid back under the ring as Schmoe warned Kage he could get DQ'd, Kage gave him a skeptical look, then smashed it against the side of Schmoe's skull, knocking him aside as he hovered over TT. Schmoe called for the bell as the crowd booed once Kage's sadist grin showed itself.

Sharpton: ALRIGHT! I love it when he does this!
Vic: How is this man human? He doesn't care if he wins or not, he's just out to hurt people!
Sharpton: Yeah I know...god he's awesome
*Another dissapointed sigh is heard*

"CRACK!!!" The sound of the steel hitting TT's skull echoed through the arena as Kage tossed the flat chair on the ground near one of the turnbuckles, Kage then got up onto the second turnbuckle ropes and lifted TT up into a Crucifix Bomb position, his arms spread out and his body facing the middle of the ring, as Kage stood on the top turnbuckle facing the crowd, grinning a crooked grin that was a mile wide

The Voice: NO KAGE!!! Don't do it!!

Kage jumped backwards off the Turnbuckle, dropping TT's face into the steel chair sitting on the mat with the weight of his own body beneath him, shaking the ring ropes with the sickening impact.

The Voice: BAH GAWD!!! Kage, that sick b*****d!!! Tiger could be seriously hurt!

Kage got up off Tiger as he left the ring, walking backwards up the entry ramp as paramedics ran out to assist Tiger as "Out of The Mud" played on the speakers, and Kage smiled at his handiwork in the ring as we cut to commercial.

Victor Cross enters the ring, the crowd pumped up for their main event. "The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!"

SO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK SUPERSTAR?!

The sound of a motorcycle engine revving up is heard as "Rock Superstar" by Cypress Hill hits, the crowd beginning to boo and jeer as Shadow rides out through the curtains and onto the top of the entrance ramp on his custom Ducati, looking out over the crowd with a narrowed glare, obviously annoyed with the fans having turned on him over the situation with Heat. Shadow revvs up his motorcycle a few times before driving down the ramp and stopping near the lower-right corner of the ring, not bothering to take a lap around. "Introducing first, weighing in at two hundred fifty-three pounds, he is the Number One Contender for the Gaia Championship...SHADOW STARR!!!"

The crowd continues to jeer as Shadow climbs up the steel steps and slips through the middle ropes into the ring, rolling his neck and turning to face the entrance ramp, waiting for his partner with a serious expression on his face.

The lights in the arena dim to a dark blue as the opening bass guitar solo of "Hysteria" by Muse floods the sound system. As the drums come into the song, two white spotlights suddenly snap on, shining on the top of the entrance ramp and Revision, dressed in his normal dark blue robe, his back turned to the crowd. As the song hits its main beat, Revision raises his arms out to the side and spins to face the ring, a wall of white pryo erupting from the top of the stage. The crowd begins to boo and jeer heavily as Revision walks out through the smoke, looking out over the stands with a smirk, beginning to make his way down the ramp, raising his arms up in the air and doing a slow 360 degree turn as he does so. "And his partner, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at one hundred ninety pounds, he is The Future...REVISION!!!"

Revision turns to the side and makes his way up the steel steps to the ring apron, walking out to the middle of the ropes and looking out over the crowd, one arm splayed across the top rope. After a few moments, Revision turns and slips through the ropes, walking forward and doing another 360 degree turn, landing on his knees as he makes his full rotation as white sparks shower down from sets above all four turnbuckles. As Revision stands up, the lights go back to their normal white glow and he removes his robe, handing it off to an official as well as his sunglasses, walking over to join Shadow in his corner with a raised eyebrow, smirking slightly, though not saying anything for once.

A soft pinging noise is heard throughout the arena as the lights flicker, going out completely after a few moments as a slow guitar solo comes into the sound system, punctuated by bass drum beats. A woman's voice comes over the speakers, singing in a low tone.

Sing to me my muses...
Lost in the hot cyclops anarchy...
Possession, invention
Blood, blood...

Spirits, spirits...

Spirits, spirits come, come...

The drum beats get faster, and the woman's voice gets louder.

Where will these visions lead?
How far dare I go?
Where will this song take me?...
INTO THE DEEP UNKNOWN!!!

Silver sparks shower down from the bottom of the BarTron as a woman slowly makes her way out into them, her head bowed. A huge cheer erupts from the BBFC and heel sections scattered around the arena, but the bulk of the fans in the Barton Arena remain silent, not sure what to make of this competitor. The woman's black dreadlocks, dyed red at the front, cover her face, but she flicks them back as she lifts her head up suddenly, throwing her arms out to the side in the crucifix position as silver fireworks erupt from either side of the entrance ramp and fly off towards the ring to fizzle out above it. "And their opponnet, from Buffalo, New York, weighing in at one hundred fifty-eight pounds, she is The Prodigy...RIONA LANGLY!!!"

Riona calmly steps out from the fireworks shower, an evil grin on her face as she walks down to the ring. The Barton crowd seems reluctant to really show any reaction, seeming to be happy with the way Riona has been acting lately, but still remembering all the things she had said back in her last tenure in the BTWF. Riona slides into the ring and points out at the crowd, but no one can quite tell whether it's in hate or appreciation. She then goes to her corner and begins to do a few pre-match stretches.

The lights in the arena go back out again, the BarTron offering the only light, showing only static at this point. The screen goes white for a second, then flashes to black, letters beginning to swirl and spin around the screen until finally joining together in the middle to complete a word. A-R-C-H-E-T-Y-P-E-S The crowd erupts into cheers as a blue sun appears on the BarTron and the opening acoustic guitar strums of "Touche" by Godsmack begins. Blue and red lights begin to sweep over the entrance ramp and crowd as the first verse of the song begins, The Heat making his way out through the curtains, a large smile on his face, the Gaia title draped over his shoulder. "And her partner, from Cuidad Azteca, Mexico, weighing in at two hundred fifty-eight pounds...He is the Icon, the Magic One, an Archetype of eXcellence and the BTWF Gaia Champion...THE HEAT!!!"

Heat heads down to the ring, stopping to smile at the Heat Girls, one falling over in a practical faint, the rest of the girls catching her. Heat just grins, then continues to make his way down to the ring, the crowd showing their appreciation for the Gaia Champion. Heat slides under the bottom rope into the ring, standing up and making his way over to the nearest corner, standing up on the middle ropes and raising his title belt high up in the air, the crowd cheering loudly, proud of their champion. Heat smiles, then jumps back down, handing his title off to an official as he walks over to join Riona in her corner, beginning to develop a strategy with his partner.

The two teams walk out to the center of the ring, but rather than simply give the affirmative to being ready, Heat and Shadow move right up against each other in a heated stare down, while Riona and Revision do the same, but with a bit of distance between them. Suddenly, Shadow hits a kick to the gut on Heat, pulling him into a Side Headlock and wrenching up on his neck while Riona flies forward with a series of stiff kicks to Revision's thighs and ribs. Joe decides not to try and restore any order, instead stepping back and calling for the bell.

DING DING DING!

As the brawling continues, the two teams eventually mix up, ending with Riona tossing Shadow out of the ring and following out after him, hitting a hard forearm to the side of his head before following with a series of hard chops, kicks and knees, finally hitting a Roundhouse Kick that takes Shadow down to the ground. Back in the ring, Heat and Revision stand a few feet apart, Revision smirking and calling for Heat to attack him. The Gaia Champion shrugs, then comes forward in the attempt of a Clothesline, but Revision ducks it, throwing himself backwards and hitting a sudden Moonsault Kick as Heat turns around! Revision waits for Heat to stand up, then comes forward with a Running Dropkick, knocking Heat to the outside. Revision backs up to the other side of the ring and waits until Heat gets up to a vertical base, then runs forward and dives over the rope with the FRONT FLIP CRUCIFIX SENTON SUICIDA!!! The crowd boos as Heat is taken down to the ground with the maneuver, Revision grinning as he stands and looks over at a camera, pointing down at Heat. "They seriously want THAT as the Gaia Champion?!" Riona and Shadow have made their way back into the ring, Shadow having managed to get Riona into a Side Headlock, but Riona pushes him back against the ropes and sends him across the ring, leapfrogging over Shadow as he comes back, then rolls down on her back and kicks her legs up in an attempt of a Head Scissor Takedown on Shadow, but he grabs her legs, picking her up and beginning to spin her around, but Riona uses the momentum to toss Shadow across the ring with a Hurricarana! Shadow gets up quickly, running forward again, but Riona takes him down with a quick Armdrag, then grabs him by the shoulders as he stands up and falls backwards, using her legs to toss Shadow over her with a Monkey Flip! Shadow still hasn't taken enough damage to stay down, coming forward only to be met by a quick Hook Kick from Riona before pulling him down into a harsh knee to the face. Riona grabs Shadow by the hair, pulling him over to her corner and tagging in Heat, the two sending Shadow across the ring, then taking him down with a Double Shoulderblock as he returns.

Heat turns and delivers a swift kick right into Shadow's back, obviously not caring much about sportsmanship in a match against his friend-turned-enemy as Riona heads back to her corner. Heat picks Shadow up, sending him into the corner before coming over and hitting a series of vicious forearms right into Shadow's face, then pulls him into a Side Headlock while choking his neck down on the top rope. Heat releases before the five count from Joe, however, but hits a harsh Knife-Edge Chop before backing away. Heat waits until Shadow walks out of the corner before hitting a quick blow to the back of the head and pulling him over to his corner, tagging in Riona. Heat tosses Shadow over with a Snapmare Takedown, Riona following over and hitting a harsh kick right into Shadow's chest, making him flop onto his back. Heat heads back to his corner while Riona goes for a quick cover. "1...2" Shadow kicks out at the two. Riona picks Shadow up, then hits a harsh slap across his chest, knocking him back against the ropes. Riona whips Shadow across the ring into the corner, then runs over and hits a Rising Knee Strike right into his chest before dragging him back over to her corner and tagging in Heat before hitting a Snapmare Takedown on Shadow, taking him down to the mat and holding him there. Heat quickly climbs up onto the top turnbuckle, then jumps off, hitting a Diving Leg Drop just as Riona moves away. Heat stands up, grabbing Shadow and picking him up before sticking his head through one of his arms, Riona moving out onto the apron as Heat flexes back into a Northern Lights Suplex! Heat shifts his legs a bit for the bridge as Joe slides in. "1...2" Shadow kicks out once again. Heat stands up, seeming a bit disgusted with Shadow kicking out, shaking his head and walking over to tag in Riona, then turning to take a quick shot at Shadow with a kick to the chest. The crowd doesn't care much, just glad to see Heat taking control of the match. Riona gets into the ring, walking over to Shadow and glancing over at Revision with a smirk, then turns and picks up Shadow, hitting a hard slap across his chest before grabbing the back of his head and pulling him across the ring to smash his head into the top turnbuckle.

Shadow gets up slowly, bending over a bit, and Riona goes for a kick to the side of his head, but Shadow manages to turn to the side and take it in his shoulder, then straightens himself up and hits a quick forearm to the side of Riona's head. Riona responds with a European Uppercut that stuns Shadow long enough for her to hit two quick kicks before sweeping her leg out behind Shadow's and taking it out from under him, making him fall to his back on the mat. Riona then quickly bounces off the ropes and jumps up into the air to land a hard Knee Drop right onto Shadow's face. The crowd is hot at this point, glad to see their favorite team taking control. Riona shows a bit of cockiness by holding her knee down on Shadow's face for an unorthodox pin. "1...2" Shadow kicks out, though Riona doesn't seem very surprised. Instead, she picks him up and drags him back over to her corner again, tagging in Heat and whipping him into the opposite corner, exiting onto the apron as Heat runs forward and hits a huge Yakuza Kick right into Shadow's face, knocking the Number One Contender for a loop. Revision watches all of this, not seeming very inclined to help his partner, seeing thathe was getting a title shot at Legacy of Supremacy instead of Revision. Shadow slumps down into a sitting position in the corner, but Heat picks him back up, hitting a quick Snapmare Takedown before covering him for the pin. "1...2..." Shadow kicks out. Heat seems a bit annoyed at this point, picking Shadow up and pulling him into a Front Facelock, but Shadow suddenly throws his body forward and takes Heat into his corner with an awkward Spear, Revision quickly slapping Shadow on the back and tagging himself in. Revision hits a quick series of forearms into the side of Heat's forehead while Shadow exits the ring, then pulls Heat out of the corner and twists his arm up into an Armbar before pulling him into a Front Facelock and hitting a Snap Suplex, floating over for the pin. "1...2" Heat kicks out. Revision decides it's time for some double team moves, and pulls Heat over to his corner, tagging in Shadow. Shadow seems reluctant to get back in the ring, but decides to trust Revision's judgement. Revision and Shadow both stun Heat with a couple of forearms, then whip him across the ring, Revision moving off to the side as Shadow catches Heat with a Kitchen Sink, Heat landing in a sitting position. Revision runs past him and bounces off the ropes, coming back to hit a low Front Dropkick, knocking Heat down onto his back. Shadow goes down on one knee as Revision jumps off it, flipping backwards into a CORKSCREW MOONSAULT!

Riona comes in and quickly hits a kick to Revision to keep him from capitalizing on the move, then turns to head back to her corner, but Revision shoves her from behind before turning his attention back to Heat, the Gaia Champion having moved himself over to sit in a corner, but Riona catches Revision with a kick to the back of the head from behind, making him fall forward onto the mat. Revision decides not to counterattack, instead bringing his attention back to Heat, hitting a quick elbow before pulling him out of the corner and over to his corner, Joe too occupied with getting Riona back to her corner to get Revision out of the ring, Shadow and Revision coming in to hit a series of strikes on Heat in the corner, Revision giving Shadow an order, which Shadow follows, picking him up in a Military Press before literally just tossing him into Heat, Heat taking the brunt of the blow, Revision's weight knocking him back into the corner. Revision gets up, looking like he's about to exit the ring, but hits one last quick Dropkick to Heat's head for good measure before rolling out onto the apron. Shadow pulls Heat out of the corner and goes for a cover. "1...2..." Heat kicks out, albeit weakly, still dazed from the series of double team attacks Revision and Shadow had given him. Shadow picks Heat up, hooking his arms in a Butterfly Lock before flexing backwards and hitting a Double-Arm Suplex, then climbs up onto a nearby turnbuckle, jumping off and hitting a Flying Elbow Drop right onto Heat's neck before going for another pin. "1...2..." Riona breaks this one up with a quick kick to the back of Shadow's head. Shadow doesn't bother going after Riona though, instead standing up and grabbing Heat's legs, slowly twisting him over into a Boston Crab. Heat cringes, slowly trying to force himself up and move towards the ropes, but Shadow's weight is enough to keep him down. Finally, Heat manges to get to the ropes, Joe forcing Shadow to back off. Heat takes this time to try to quickly crawl over to his corner and tag in Riona, but Shadow runs over and hits a clubbing elbow to Heat's back, preventing him from getting there.

Shadow grabs Heat by the head and picks him up, pulling him back over to his corner and tagging in Revision. While Revision climbs up onto the top turnbuckle, Shadow hits a series of forearms to keep Heat stunned, then moves away at the last second for Revision to jump off and hit a Flying Cross-Body, taking Heat down to the mat and staying on him for the pin. "1...2..." Heat manages to get a shoulder up, though it's obvious he needs a tag to Riona. As Heat stands up, Revision comes forward in attempt of a Clothesline, but Heat stops him, pulling him into a Front Facelock and lifting him up in the air before setting him down on the top rope, suddenly falling backwards and spiking Revision's head into the mat with a DDT! Revison's head bounces off the canvas from the elevation of the DDT, the crowd cheering for the hard-hitting move from Heat. Heat takes this time to stand up and move over to his corner, the crowd cheering as he tags in Riona. Riona walks over to Revision, starting to pick him up by the head, but Revision goes for a punch, only to miss Riona completely, the DDT obviously having done more damage than expected. Revision flails with his punches for a few more moments, Riona raising an eyebrow, then hits a sharp kick to the side of his head, taking him down to the mat. Riona picks Revision up and pulls him across the ring before smashing his head into the top turnbuckle. Riona then pulls Revision out of the corner before lifting him up for a Back Suplex, Revision flopping over onto his stomach from the force of the move. Riona follows it up with a Knee Drop right onto the back of Revision's head, the crowd cringing slightly at the move. Riona shifts to crouch over Revision's back, hooking both of his arms over her legs and grabbing his chin, wrenching back on his neck in a Camel Clutch. Just as Riona seems to really start to get the move wrenched back, Shadow comes in and hits a hard strike to the back of her head, forcing her to break the hold. Shadow smirks as he walks back to the corner, Riona glaring at him for a moment, then turns her attention back to Revision, picking him up and whipping him across the ring, catching him with a Back Elbow as he comes back. Riona picks up Revision and takes him back to her corner, pushing him up against the turnbuckles before tagging in Heat.

Heat drapes Revision's neck across the middle rope, then runs back across the ring, jumping up and hitting a Rocking Horse Splash, guillotining Revision's neck down against the rope. Heat lifts Revision up out of the corner before slamming him back in a T-Bone Suplex before going for the cover. "1...2..." Revision kicks out, though weakly. Heat picks Revision up by the head and pulls him back to his corner, tagging in Riona before stepping off to the side, Riona hitting an extremely stiff kick right to the chest of Revision that flips him over onto his stomach. Riona stalks Revision as he lays on the ground, Revision swinging his legs up and trying to kick Riona's legs out from under her, but he just doesn't have the strength after all the attacks, Riona trading much stiffer kicks with him for each time he tries to attack her. Finally Riona hits a kick that seems to stun Revision long enough for her to grab his legs and roll him over into a Boston Crab, Joe occupied with keeping Shadow from entering the ring and trying to break the hold, Heat deciding to get in on the action and running across the ring to lock in a Reverse Chinlock as well. Finally, Heat and Riona move off Revision, Heat grabbing him and lifting him up onto his shoulders in a Powerbomb position, walking back over to his corner, then lets Revision slide over his back until his hands are locked behind Revision's knees before absolutely driving Revision's back down into the mat with a vicious Alabamaslam. Heat doesn't stop yet, grabbing Revision's legs and pulling him back into a Slingshot Catapult right into a backhand slap from Riona that makes Revision fall back to lay over Heat's knees, Riona jumping up onto the top rope and hitting a Springboard Knee Drop right onto Revision's abdomen! Heat follows this up by covering Revision for a pin, but Joe reminds him that he isn't the legal man. Heat seems a bit annoyed by this, but decides not to argue, standing up and suddenly running across the ring to knock Shadow off the apron with a forearm. Riona and Heat then pick up Revision, carrying him over to the edge of the ring and TOSSING HIM TO THE OUTSIDE ONTO SHADOW!!! The crowd cheers heavily as the team smirks, walking away and dusting their hands off.

Heat walks back over to his corner, Riona joining him and tagging out, making Heat the legal man. Heat then rolls out of the ring, walking over and grabbing Revision, rolling him into the ring and sliding in as well, picking Revision up and hitting him with a Scoop Slam. Heat then walks over to climb out onto the apron, taking a few moments to play up to the crowd as he climbs the turnbuckles. After about thirty seconds or so, he goes to jump off the top turnbuckle in a Diving Headbutt, but Revision manages to roll out of the way, and Heat smacks right into the canvas. Revision begins to crawl over to his corner, needing a tag badly, but Heat manages to grab his foot. Revision goes for an Enzuigiri with his free foot, but Heat ducks it. However, Revision then kicks off and does a forward flip his momentum sending Heat right into the turnbuckles, allowing Revision to tag out to Shadow. Shadow quickly enters the ring, taking Heat down with a Clothesline and catching Riona with a Back Elbow, then pulls Heat up in the air before driving him down in a harsh Backbreaker. Shadow quickly picks Heat up and takes him down with a Scoop Slam, then turns and hits a quick knee to Riona's gut as she comes in to try and help her partner, Shadow pulling her over to his corner and setting her up in a Torture Rack position, Revision climbing up onto the top turnbuckle and jumping up, turning 180 degrees to land on Riona's stomach, his back facing the ring, then flies off in a MOONSAULT ONTO HEAT!!! Riona slides off Shadow's shoulders, clutching her stomach as she rolls off the apron and out onto the floor. Shadow quickly moves over for a pin as Revision rolls off to the side. "1...2...TH-NO!" Heat manages to get a shoulder to cheers and sighs of relief from the crowd. Shadow gets up, grabbing Heat from behind and lifting him up for a German Suplex, but Heat keeps himself from going over, turning and elbowing Shadow twice in the temple to release the hold, then turns and hits a quick chop before pulling Shadow over to his corner, tagging in Riona, who has managed to pull herself back up onto the apron, then lifts Shadow up in an Electric Chair position before turning away from the corner. Riona climbs up onto the turnbuckle, then jumps off, grabbing Shadow and pulling him into a BULLDOG ALL THE WAY OFF HEAT'S SHOULDERS!!! Riona moves over for the cover as Heat rolls to the outside. "1...2...TH-NO!" Shadow manages to get a shoulder up to jeers and boos from the crowd.

Riona seems a bit frustrated with not having been able to get the pin on Shadow at this point, picking him up and hitting three quick chops across his chest before hooking both his arms and flipping backwards to lock in a Rolling Butterfly Lock! Riona cranks back on Shadow's arms and neck with the maneuver, but Revision is in to break up the hold, kicking Riona in the back of her head and making her roll off to the side. Revision goes back out onto the apron, calling to Shadow to make the tag, and Shadow manages to roll over the corner and tag Revision in. Revision pulls himself up onto the top rope as Riona stands up, jumping off as she turns around with a Springboard Spinning Wheel Kick! Revision runs forward to try and stop Heat from helping his partner, but Heat stops him with a knee to the gut before pulling him down into a sudden Guillotine Choke, wrenching back on Revision's neck and keeping him in place with a Body Scissors. Shadow comes in to help his partner, but Riona is up at this point, grabbing his arm and pulling him down into a Crucifix Armbar! However, in a great display of strength, Shadow slowly lifts Riona up while she's still hanging onto his arm, then falls backwards and tosses her onto the ropes, her neck crushed down against the top one. Shadow then runs across the ring and hits a Dropkick on Heat to break the hold he has on Revision, then picks Heat up and pulls him into a Standing Head Scissors, but Heat manages to pull out of the maneuver, sticking Shadow into a Standing Head Scissors of his own before lifting him up and driving his head down into the mat with a classic Piledriver. Heat stands up and walks away from Shadow, only to be hit by a Spinning Wheel Kick from Revision. Revision stands up, but Riona has made her way back to a vertical base as well, striking out at Revision with hard kicks that knock him back into the corner, setting him up on the top turnbuckle, but after a few moments, Revision manages to push her off onto the mat, climbing up to go for an aerial move, but Heat runs forward and knocks Revision down and Revision crotches himself on the top rope. Heat climbs up onto the top turnbuckles, hooking both of Revision's arms before falling backwards in a Double-Arm Superplex! Riona and Heat seem to be on fire right now, Heat calling for the end as he pulls Revision into a Standing Head Scissors, hooking both of his arms before lifting him up and hitting him with a Tigerbomb! Heat moves off and lets Riona go for the cover, her being the legal woman right now. "1...2...THR-NO!" Shadow pulls Riona to the outside!

The crowd boos heavily, having seen the end of the match coming right there. Heat walks over to pick Revision up, but Revision suddenly knocks his arms away, hitting a quick series of strikes, but Heat stops that with a HUGE Lariat, making Revision flip over in the air! Heat goes for the cover, the crowd getting on their feet, knowing Revision wouldn't kick out of that, but Joe doesn't make the count, reminding Heat that Riona is the legal team member right now. Heat runs a hand through his hair, severely frustrated right now, knowing he had the win. Meanwhile, Shadow gets back up into the ring, having taken Riona down outside, then hits Heat with a blow from behind before pulling him into a Front Facelock and lifting him up for a Suplex, only to have Riona come in and kick the back of his knee, making Shadow let go of Heat and preventing the move from coming off. Heat backs off while Riona grabs Shadow, whipping him across the ring and catching him with a Back Elbow, then picks him up and hits a series of knee strikes to his stomach before flipping him over in a Snapmare Takedown. Riona pulls Shadow over to her corner, tagging in Heat and moving off to the side as he climbs up onto the top turnbuckle and jumps off to hit a Body Splash before going for the cover. "1...2...TH-NO!" Shadow manages to get a shoulder up. Heat is visibly frustrated at this, standing up and turning to Riona, pulling Shadow up, both team members taking him in a Front Facelock before hitting a Double Suplex! Heat moves over for another cover. "1...2...TH-NO!" Once again, Shadow gets a shoulder up. The Barton crowd is really getting angry at this point, wanting to see Shadow get pinned. Heat walks back over and tags out to Riona, moving over to pick Shadow up and hit a quick Knife-Edge Chop, knocking him back into the corner, both he and Riona whipping him across the ring into the opposite corner. Heat runs forward and goes for a Stinger Splash, but Shadow ducks to the side, Heat smashing right into the turnbuckles as Shadow takes Riona down with a sudden Big Boot. Shadow turns and grabs Heat as he stumbles out of the corner, dropping him down on his knee in a Gutbuster. Shadow turns and takes a few strikes from Riona, but fights back, Gutwrenching her up onto his shoulders in a Back-to-Back Crucifix Position, then flips her over and pulls her down in a TOMMYHAWK ACE CRUSHER!!! The crowd boos and jeers heavily as Shadow stands up, only to erupt into cheers again as Heat kicks him in the gut before pulling him down into a Standing Head Scissors, hooking both his arms, but Shadow suddenly lifts his body up and tosses Heat back into the corner, Heat's head bouncing off the turnbuckle, the Gaia Champion stumbling out of the corner, only to have Shadow run up from behind and hit the SHADOW SLAM!!! COVER!!! Riona goes over to try and break the pin, but suddenly gets her head grabbed by Revision, who pulls her up into the FULL CIRCLE!!! "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!"

The crowd boos and jeers heavily as "Rock Superstar" hits, Shadow moving off of Heat and grinning widely as Revision stands up, Heat lying motionless on the mat while Riona clutches her head. Shadow procedes to stomp on Heat's chest and neck repeatedly, throwing off Joe when he tries to stop him while Revision just crouches down next to Riona, smirking a bit before hitting her with a quick slap across the face, then stands up and exits the ring, walking past the Jack Frost Security force as they run down the ring to remove Shadow from Heat and we cut to a commercial.

OOC: |Mark's not on, so I'm all posting his match for him and stuff.|

The crowd watches a sharply-dressed man enters the ring, brushing off his completely-black suit attire, taking a look out at the crowd and winking at one of the women in the front row before smoothing his hair back and lifting the microphone up. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce myself as Victor Cross, the new announcer for the Barton Town Wrestling Federation. It is my pleasure to have this job, and I will do my best to announce well for you all." Victor Cross clears his throat, then begins again. "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is to determine the first BTWF Small Fry Champion!"

A red dragon is seen flying up the slope of a mountain, the peak spewing lava out as the dragon reaches the top as the lighting of the arena dims to a hazy red and the descending bass line of "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden hits. Slowly, a man in a wrestling singlet walks out onto the entrance ramp, his black hair swept back behind his ears, the red highlights blending in with the lighting of the arena. "Introducing first, from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at two hundred thirty pounds...He is the Man of 1000 Holds...OMEGA!!!"

You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You better stand there's no turning back

Omega begins to make his way down the ramp, a few fans that remember him from GWF immediately beginning to jeer and boo, but Omega ignores them, seeming determined to win this match.

The bugle sounds, the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horse's breath
As I charge on into certain death

Omega slides into the ring, not bothering to do any taunting, just heading over to his corner and leaning back against it, watching the entrance ramp as "The Trooper" fades out.

"Where Da Hood At" by DMX hits, the crowd not responding, seeing as they don't know this person yet. A young man walks out through the curtains at the top of the entrance ramp, dressed in loose, baggy clothes, looking energetic and ready. "And his opponent, from Greenville, North Carolina, weighing in at two hundred fifteen pounds...SHADY K!!!"

WHERE DA HOOD, WHERE DA HOOD, WHERE DA HOOD AT?!
HAD A ***** IN THE CUT, WHERE THE WOOD AT?!
ALL THEM NIGGAS ACTIN' UP, WHERE THE WOLVES AT?!
YOU BETTA BUST THAT IF YOU GON' PULL THAT!

Shady begins to make his way down to the ring, throwing his arms up in the air repeatedly, attempting to pump up the crowd. Most of them respond positively, letting out a few cheers for the energetic wrestler. Shady slides into the ring, removing all unnecessary clothing and handing them off to an official as his entrance theme cuts out.

A referee moves forward to step between the two men, asking if both are ready, then steps back and calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!!!

Omega immediately moves forward and locks up into a grapple with Shady, the smaller wrestler being caught off guard somewhat, trying to shift his weight and get some leverage. Before he can, however, Omega whips him across the ring and into the ropes, reaching for him as he comes back and going for a Back Body Drop. Shady grabs Omega's arms as he does so, however, preventing the move from being hit and quickly reversing it into his own Irish Whip, sending Omega across the ring, running forward and connecting with a Spear as Omega comes back, driving his shoulder into the Man of 1000 Holds' gut. Omega lies on the mat, clutching his stomach and rolling over onto his side, cringing. Shady takes this time to move over to the nearest corner, climbing out onto the apron and moving up onto the top turnbuckle, watching as Omega slowly makes his way up to his feet. Once Omega turns to face the corner, Shady flies off and hits a Missile Dropkick, connecting directly to Omega's chest. Omega is knocked backwards onto his stomach, quickly rolling out under the bottom ropes and out of the ring, taking some time to regain his senses. The crowd cheers this, obviously having decided that Shady is their favorite in this match. Omega does a quick lap around the ring, clutching his stomach a bit, but shakes it off quickly, Shady having taken the time to play to the crowd, throwing his arms up in the air. Omega rolls back into the ring, holding out his hand for a one-handed Knucklelock, Shady slowly reaching out to accept the hold, but Omega quickly responds with a kick to the gut before pulling Shady into a Front Facelock and dropping him with a DDT to boos from the crowd.

Shady slowly gets up, clutching his head a bit, only to see Omega running at him. Shady quickly leapfrogs over Omega, but Omega keeps moving, jumping up to springboard off the ropes and go for a Lionsault, but Shady quickly turns around and nails him in the stomach with a Dropkick right in the middle of the flip. The crowd pops for this counter, Omega crashing into the ropes and slumping down to the mat, clutching his stomach. Shady quickly gets up, moving over and picking Omega up, but Omega shoots out with a right hand. Shady retaliates with a punch of his own, the two beginning to trade punches and forearm shots, with the occasional chops. Finally, Omega catches Shady in a Suplex position, taking him down with a T-Bone Suplex. Shady and Omega seem to be rather fatigued after that exchange, the ref beginning the count. After five, however, the two men make their way to their feet, Shady grabbing Omega and sending him into the ropes again, running to the opposite set and jumping off, twisting in the air to hit a Hurricarana on Omega, grabbing his legs and bridging for the pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" Omega manages to kick out at the last second, Shady looking frustrated at this. The Shady One turns and picks Omega up, taking him right back down to the mat with a Bodyslam. Shady picks Omega up one last time, pulling him into a Front Facelock and signalling for the TWIST OF FA-NO! Omega suddenly reaches forward, pulling Shady's legs out from under him and hooking one foot into the other knee, slowly twisting Shady onto his back and locking in the OMEGA'S PRISON!!!

The crowd boos heavily as Omega locks in the Elevated Texas Cloverleaf, hyperextending Shady's knee with the maneuver. Shady slowly tries to drag himself over to the ropes, fighting as hard as he can to make it, finally managing to grab onto the bottom one at the last second. The ref forces Omega to break the move, Omega letting go with a frustrated look. He then turns and begins to stomp repeatedly on Shady, but the Shady One suddenly reaches out and grabs his foot, pulling it out from under him. Omega lands hard on his back, but Shady quickly stands up, picking him up and hitting a quick boot to the gut before lifting Omega up onto his shoulders into a Fireman's Carry position. Shady then drops to the side, the crowd popping as he hits the SHADOW OF DEATH!!! Omega's head is driven down hard into the mat, Shady quickly going for the cover afterwards. "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!"

The crowd cheers as "Where Da Hood At" hits again, Victor Cross standing up. "Here is your winner, and FIRST BTWF Small Fry Champion...SHADY K!!!" The ref exits the ring, taking the belt from an official and moving back into the ring, where Shady is getting back up. The ref hands Shady the belt, the crowd cheering as Shady looks down at it for a few moments, then raises it high up in the air. Suddenly, though, Shady feels a hand on his shoulder and is twisted around, revealing Omega standing behind him, who then hits a quick boot to the gut before pulling the belt out of his hands and slamming it right into his face. Shady falls to the mat, seeming knocked out from the maneuver, Omega dropping the belt and pulling Shady over to the ropes. Omega sets Shady up on the top turnbuckle, tossing the ref back as he tries to stop him, then pulls Shady up into a Fireman's Carry position before jumping off the ropes and pulling Shady down into the CRIMSON SKIES!!! Omega nails the Top-Rope Gutbuster perfectly, Shady's abdomen driven hard down into his knee with the maneuver. Omega stands up, walking over to grab the belt, then tosses it down onto Shady before yelling that the belt will be his. Omega exits the ring and heads up to the back as Shady weakly rolls out under the bottom ropes onto the floor outside, clutching the belt to his chest as officials come over to help him up.
