Welcome to Gaia! ::

OOC: |Reserved for Talcion vs. Bidwell|

Fade In.

*We are met with a familiar view of one of the back hallways of the Barton Arena that criss-cross throughout it, leading to locker rooms, storage rooms, training facilities and a medley of other places. We seem to be in the locker room section this time, however, plaques on the doors rattling off a list of BTWF roster members, all of them shut except for one, which our camera stops next to. This door is slightly ajar, and behind it we can hear a voice, though the words can't be made out from this distance. A quick glance up at the plaque reveals the name "Empty Promises". A hand reaches out past the camera and pushes the door open some more, revealing the inside of the locker room. General lavish furnishings can be seen scattered around the area, and two of these are currently taken up by two members of Empty Promises, the Wrestling G.O.D. Austin Azure, and the Gaia Champion, Revision. In Revision's hand is what appears to be an entire two-liter bottle of Mountain Dew, one-fourth of it having already been drinken. Austin speaks up after a moment, causing Revision to turn his head towards him as he takes another swig of the soda right out of the large bottle.*

Azure: "Well things are starting to look back up again it seems. Either way Xunkai or I were going to make it into the Tournament of Gods which, since I'm in it now, I'll no doubt win. Not to mention you were able to win an easy match with Twilight to retain the Gaia Championship which I figure you'll be able to do tonight. Yeah, things are going a bit better now than they had been..."

*Austin continues to look at the ground with his head held on his hands which are placed on his knees while doing this. Even though both Revision and Austin know the camera is there, and Austin isn't so sure what he is saying is true, they at least want to make things seem like they are going great for EP, which really they are minus the couple of losses Austin has suffered in the past few weeks. Revision gives a nod, setting the bottle down before replying.*

Revision: "Yeah, man. I mean, what other faction in the BTWF can say that they were in three of the four matches at the top of the card, and won two of them? Generation of Legends? They put away two losers and the guy I beat for this title, and their leader got thrown around a cell. Renegade Souljahz? Pssh, lost their titles after a two-month reign no one will remember. Empty Promises is where it's at. And at the Tournament of Gods, it's going to be more of the same. You're gonna blow through the competition, get your title shot and bring home the big gold for EP, and I'll retain my title against whatever challenger decides to get beaten this month. This slump you're in is done, no doubt about it."

Azure: "Hopefully that is true, but losing twice in a row was really a b***h, quite literally. I must say that I'm a bit envious of you only having to go against Twilight at BloodBath '05, and I may even be somewhat jealous of Xunkai even if he isn't here right now. I figured that Riona would be an easy kill since I had beat her and Twist once before, but for some reason I just wan't able to overcome her. But what the hell, I suppose that if nothing else I learned not to underestimate people, even though I am of course better than them like all EP is. Besides if I ever get a rematch with Riona I'll be sure to beat her to prove that anything you or Xunkai can do, I can too. Speaking of Xunkai I wonder what we can find for him to do at ToG. I heard that Twist challenged him to another match tonight, but I really don't know if that would be the best thing for us..."

*Revision takes another drink of the Mountain Dew, seeming a bit put off by something Austin said, but his expression goes back to nromal after a moment.*

Revision: "Hey, it's not like Twilight's some random stepping stool like Bidwell or something. She's nowhere near my level, but she's not exactly a pushover. Anyway, if you do get that rematch with Riona, I don't see any problems. BloodBath was just a stroke of bad luck. If I can beat Riona, you can do it. No problem. But as for Xunkai's match, I don't think that's going to be a big deal either. Knowing Twist, it'll be some big puro deathmatch or some stupid thing like that where they get to hit each other with blunt objects. Or sharp objects. Maybe a combination of the two. You can never tell with puro stuff. But after that Taped Fist match, I don't have any doubts about Xunkai's ability to get through this. Just think. After ToG, I'll be the Gaia Champ, you'll be getting a sure-win shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, and Xunkai will have beaten one of the most overrated guys on the roster. Nobody's going to be doubting us after that."

*Azure looks up from the ground which has had been staring at off and on and seems cheered up by Revision's confidence in both EP and Austin himself. Even if all three are egotistical, at least they can get past their differences and show their dominance in the BTWF by doing so.*

Azure: "Now isn't that the truth. I know you had said before how I underestimated your abilities by wanting to keep you away from Darson, but I kind of figured that you might just be the one to take the BTWF Championship off him. I see now that maybe I had the right idea by pushing to keep you in the Gaia Championship race because otherwise who knows if we would have that title or the shot at the BTWF Championship today. At ToG II, no matter if it is that vanilla wafer Maxwell Conners, or if it comes down to me and that scumbag thug Killa, I will walk out of there with a shot at Darson Gray's BTWF Championship and EP will become the MOST dominant faction in BTWF history. As for Xunkai beating Twist, we've seen him do it once in a match where Xunkai was at his advantage. Now all we need to do is watch him pull out another victory in some match where he'll pull out another suprise for Twist. I really think we may have overrated him ourselves because who would have thought the guy who beat Big Daddy and Omega, as well as many other guys that went on to be semi-big in the BTWF would tap out to a move Xunkai didn't even intend to finish the match. I'm not sure if he told you or not, but after having that STF in Xunkai was going to bring Twist back up and nail him with his own Twister for the win, but alas I guess we'll have to wait for ToG to see that. Oh and sorry about that little hit on TTR, but seriously you are light years ahead of her now and I'm sure you will be that ahead of your next opponent as well."

*Revision grins, setting the bottle down and clutching his forehead, yelling out in a high-pitched, whiny voice.*

Revision: "Oh, oh! The salt is in my cuts! I'm going to cry like a little baby now and tap out because I'm a b***h!"

*Revision lowers his hands and smirks, glancing over at the TV for a moment and watching the final few moments of the Jack Frost vs. Kid Chaos match, then stands up, dusting himself off and grabbing his robe from a nearby chair, slipping it over his shoulders and tying it at the front before grabbing the Gaia title and slinging it over his shoulder.*

Revision: "Well, time for me to blow through one of our illustrious tag champs. Let's get out of here."

Azure: "Sounds good to me, wonder where Stetson is..."

*Azure and Revision make their way out of the lockerroom with the TV still on, Revision ready for his non-title match tonight and Austin feeling a bit better about the past few weeks and what is no doubt to come for EP. Revision pushes past the cameraman, who doesn't manage to get out of the way and hide in time, grinning a bit as he does so, the two men walking down the corridor as we cut back to the main arena.*

Victor Cross enters the ring, the crowd turning their attention away from the BarTron, ready for the main event. "The following contest is a non-title match, and is scheduled for one fall!"

The opening guitar solo of "The Hell Song" by Sum 41 hits, the crowd immediately getting up on their feet and erupting into cheers as the song moves into its main beat and Kanyon dashes out from behind the curtains, running to either side of the stage and throwing his arms up in the air, the young cruiserweight a master at pumping up the crowd by this point. "Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at two hundred seventeen pounds, he is a member of the Archetypes of eXcellence and one half of the BTWF Tag Team Champions...IRVINE 'THE GRAND' KANYON!!!"

Kanyon dashes down the ramp, high-fiving fans as he goes, doing a quick dash around the ring once he reaches it, holding his arms out to the side to high-five every fan who sticks their hand out. Once he reaches the end of the barrier back towards the ramp, he slides into the ring, hopping up and heading to the nearest turnbuckle, hopping up on the middle ropes and throwing his arms up in the air, the crowd cheering louder. Finally, he hops back down and removes his vest, tossing out of the ring to an official as he leans back into the corner, watching the entrance ramp as "The Hell Song" fades out.

The lights in the arena dim to a dark blue as the opening bass solo of "Hysteria" by Muse pulses through the sound system, the crowd immediately beginning to boo and jeer. As the bass drums work their way into the beat, spotlights snap on at the top of the entrance ramp, showing the back of Revision, who slowly nods his head with each drum beat. As the song blasts into the main riff, Revision spins around to face the crowd and a wall of white pyro erupts in front of him, the Gaia champ emerging from the smoke and making his way down the ramp, followed closely behind by Austin Azure, and their ring announcer, David Stetson, behind them. Once Victor Cross sees this, he sighs, moving out of the ring, knowing he won't be doing anything else for the entrances. Azure and Revision jaw off with a few fans on the sides of the entrance ramp, Stetson keeping quiet and just following his employers down to the ring. Revision and Azure both hop up onto the apron, Revision slipping through the ropes while Azure vaults over the top one and does a quick spin as he lands. Stetson climbs up the steps and moves through the ropes as well.

"Hysteria" fades out as the three men make their way to the middle of the ring, the EP members standing on either side of Stetson as he pulls a card out of his pocket and lifts the microphone with his other hand, the crowd stopping their boos and jeers, knowing this would just go on longer if they didn't get quiet. "Ladies and Gentlemen...Durem wrestling fans and Barton wrestling palsies alike...as you all know by now, I am David Stetson, and these two men with me tonight are, of course, the greatest individuals to ever step foot inside a BTWF ring, or any wrestling ring for that matter. They are two out of three members of the best faction ever to be formed in wrestling history, Empty Promises. Tonight, only one will be wrestling, but you will all still be graced by the prescence of the man to my left, which should be more than enough."

Stetson turns towards Azure, who grins, ready for his introduction. "He hails from Fairbanks, Alaska, and weighs in at a steroid-free ninety-four kilograms...He is a former BTWF Television Champion, and owns the title of Wrestling G.O.D. without ever participating in the upcoming tournament he will surely win...He is a future BTWF World Heavyweight Champion...AUSTIN AZURE!!!" Austin falls to one knee and cross his arms in an X over his chest, the crowd responding with a mass of boos and jeers which Azure simply ignores, Revision holding his arms out and bending down in the classic "We're not worthy!" pose. Azure stands up after a moment, and Revision stops, Stetson turning his attention to his other employer. "But the man to my right is the one who will be wrestling tonight. Though widely known as the greatest Gaia Champion in BTWF history, this man was formerly considered part of a specific weight division which his opponent tonight belongs to as well. Let me go through a list of all these other competitors, none of which have anywhere near the talent or ability that the man to my left does...

Shady...Drizzt Talon...Zero...Alex Auldron...Chris McLaren..."

The names get mixed reactions from the crowd, but Stetson stops after that last name, lowering the mic and asking the two men beside him if he can have a drink of water. Revision and Azure give him the affirmative, and Stetson exits the ring, the crowd ready to fall over dead from annoyance and boredom at the insanely long introductions, Stetson going to exit the ring, only to have officials prevent him from doing so. Stetson begins to argue with the men, Azure and Revision coming over to do the same, a minute and a half just arguing with the officials. Finally, though, the three men walk away in disgust, the crowd looking up again, thinking that the introductions are going to continue, only to have Revision reach into his robe and pull out a bottle of water, handing it off to Stetson, who nods and begins drinking from it, the crowd letting out a groan. Finally, Stetson finishes off about half the bottle, setting it down before lifting the mic up again.

"Continuing now...Icy Ali, Tsunami, Ravena, the recently-beaten Twilight Tokyo Rose and the partner of this man's opponent tonight, Seraph...

But the man to my right surpasses all of these wrestlers in terms of skill as well as looks. He resides in the City of Sin, and weighs in at an also steroid-free eighty-six kilograms, which is one-hundred ninety pounds for those of you who have not devoted your soul and first-born son to the gods of Metric...Soon to achieve legend status...the definition picture in the dictionary's article on greatness...a supreme ruler of old and new school...the killer of kittens...the stomper of technical witches..." Azure glances over at Stetson after that remark, knowing who the title spoke of and furrowing his brow a bit, but shrugs it off as Stetson continues. "The dispeller of shadows...the immigration officer of awesomeness...the pesticide to Japanese flowers...The Future of Wrestling...I give you...REVISION!!!" Revision throws his arms out to the side and steps forward, holding the Gaia title in one hand as he throws his head back, smiling widely, completely oblivious to the huge round of boo and jeers. Stetson and Azure step back at this point, both men exiting the ring as Revision removes his robe, sunglasses and belt, handing them off to an official as Kanyon steps out of the corner, seeming to have dozed off in the middle of that.

Joe Schmoe calls both men to the middle of the ring, asking if they're ready, then steps back and calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!!!

Revision and Kanyon do a quick half-circle around the ring, then go in towards a grapple, only to have Revision slip around behind Kanyon and pull him into a Reverse Waistlock. Kanyon manages to thread his hands down and break out of the hold, slipping around to get in a Reverse Waistlock of his own. Revision tries to sit out, but Kanyon keeps it locked in as Revision goes down to a sitting position on the mat, but then slips out of that hold and continues to trade waistlocks with Kanyon until the tag champ finally just grabs Revision and twists him around into an Inside Cradle. "1...2" Revision kicks out, both men quickly standing up to come at each other, Kanyon grabbing Revision's arm and going for an Arm Drag, but Revision plants his feet and blocks it, reaching down to grab Kanyon's leg and pulling him down into a cradle of his own. "1...2" Kanyon kicks out, trying to reverse this into another pin, but Revision rolls out, both men standing up and running towards each other again, Kanyon ducking a Clothesline from Revision and pulling him back into a Half Nelson, only to have Revision drop down out of the move and roll backwards, trying to wheelbarrow Kanyon, but Kanyon reaches down and flings Revision out to his side, only to have Revision hang on with his legs and pull Kanyon down in a modified Sunset Flip. "1...2" Kanyon kicks out, both men rolling back, only to have Kanyon jump over Revision and pull him down into a classic Sunset Flip, but Revision rolls all the way out of it and comes up to hit a Glimmering Warlock, only to have Kanyon move to the side and pull Revision down into a Schoolboy as he passes. "1...2" Revision kicks out, both men rolling back up to their feet again, Revision catching Kanyon with a chop, Kanyon firing back with one of his own, only to have Revision respond with a thumb to the eye that gets him a boo from the crowd and an admonishing from Joe.

Revision grabs Kanyon's arm and goes to whip him into the corner, but Kanyon reverses it and sends Revision into the corner instead. Revision quickly runs out of the corner, trying to counterattack, but Kanyon catches him with a Jumping Leg Lariat. Kanyon kips up to his feet and raises his arms up to the crowd while Revision rolls to the outside, having taken that Leg Lariat pretty hard. Azure comes over to Revision, checking if he's okay, but looks into the ring and quickly moves to the side as Kanyon dives through the ropes and flips forward onto Revision with a TOPE CON HILO!!! The crowd erupts into cheers at the suicida maneuver, who gets up and high fives a few fans along the barrier. Azure goes to check on Revision again, but backs away as Kanyon comes back, knowing getting into a fight with him would only cause a disqualification for his partner. Kanyon grabs Revision and rolls him back into the ring, lifting him up for a Snap Suplex and floating over for a cover. "1...2" Revision kicks out. Kanyon picks Revision into the ropes, catching him with a hard Back Elbow on the rebound before dropping down in another cover. "1...2" Revision kicks out once again. Kanyon picks Revision up and hits a hard right hand before whipping him into the ropes once again. Kanyon bends down a bit early, however, and Revision rolls over his back, twisting to land behind him and pulling him into a Half Nelson and threading his other arm through before twisting Kanyon back in the TORNADO CRUSHAAAHHH!!! Kanyon lands hard right on his head from the high-impact maneuver, Revision sitting up and throwing his arms out to the side with a smirk on his face before rolling over for a cover. "1...2..." Kanyon kicks out, though Revision has obviously gotten his momentum back in this match after that vicious attack.

Revision looks a little bit annoyed at that kickout, and moves over to kneel next to Kanyon's head, bringing his arm down and scraping his forearm over Kanyon's face repeatedly until Joe forces him to stop. Revision stands up as Kanyon gets up to a vertical base as well, shaking off the lingering sting from those Crossfaces and standing up, quickly coming at Revision with a surprise Clothesline, but Revision ducks under it and pulls Kanyon down onto his knee in an STO Backbreaker! Revision gets up, taking a stroll around the are and grinning towards the crowd, then drops down and pulls Kanyon up into a Neck Twist submission, cranking his neck upwards and twisting it to the side roughly. Kanyon finally manages to turn to the side and get to his knees, driving his elbow back into Revision's gut, managing to get him to break the hold. Kanyon stands up and pushes Revision back into the ropes before whipping him across the ring. Revision ducks under a Clothesline, going up into the ropes. Kanyon turns and jumps up to go for a Front Dropkick, but Revision wraps his arms around the top rope and prevents himself from going forward. As Kanyon falls to the mat, Revision quickly goes over to grab his legs, hefting him up until they sling over his shoulders, wrapping his arms around Kanyon's waist and hitting the FUTURE SHO-NO!!! Kanyon swings his legs over and pulls Revision down into a Bridged Hurricarana, but Revision keeps his momentum and rolls forward, breaking out of it. Both men get up to their feet, but Kanyon gets there first, running forward to pull Revision into a Standing Head Scissors and lifting him up for a Foldover Powerbomb, holding him down for the pin. "1...2..." Revision kicks out. Kanyon picks Revision back up, hitting him with a forearm before moving back a bit and going for a Superkick, but Revision ducks down under the move and quickly lifts Kanyon up on his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry, then hits a Rolling Samoan Drop before flipping back in a Standing Moonsault! Bridge! "1...2..." Kanyon kicks out.

Revision picks Kanyon up, looking a little annoyed with not having gotten the pin there, and pushes him back hard into the corner before laying into the side of Kanyon's face with some hard forearms. Revision whips Kanyon across the ring into the opposite turnbuckle, running forward to hit a Spear into Kanyon's gut, then pulls him out of the corner in a Northern Lights Suplex. Revision rolls through the move, however, lifting Kanyon up again and going for another, but Kanyon plants his feet. Revision just pulls Kanyon into a Front Facelock, however, and hits a Swinging Neckbreaker. Revision rolls over for another cover. "1...2..." Kanyon kicks out again. Revision picks Kanyon up and pulls him into a Side Russian Leg Sweep, then pulls him into a Figure Four Head Scissors, wrenching up hard and cutting off Kanyon's oxygen supply. Kanyon clutches at Revision's leg, but Revision just pulls up harder, finally just rolling Kanyon onto his stomach with the hold before releasing it and rolling back, grabbing Kanyon's head and wrenching it back in a DRAGON CLUTCH!!! Revision wrenches back on Kanyon's head with the maneuver, but Kanyon managed to get himself up on one knee, and thus has enough leverage to get up to a standing position and hit a vicious Mule Kick right into Revsision's upper thigh, making Revision stumble back and clutch his leg. Revision goes for a chop as Kanyon gets up and turns around, but Kanyon ducks under it and comes back with his own chop, making Revision cringe. Kanyon and Revision trade chops for a few moments, but Kanyon wins out, hitting a series of the strikes that makes Revision back up into the ropes, then grabs his arm and whips him across the ring, catching the Future with a Back Body Drop that sends Revision flying before he lands hard on his back. Kanyon grabs Revision and whips him into the corner, running forward and hitting a Running Dropkick that slams Revision back into the turnbuckles, Kanyon turning around to grab Revision from behind as he comes out and sticks his knee out before dropping Revision down in a Legsweep Gutbuster and twisting around to hit a Gutwrench Suplex, the crowd getting pumped now, seeing that Kanyon has got his momentum back.

Kanyon rolls over for a cover. "1...2..." Revision kicks out. Kanyon lifts Revision up and hooks him in a Double Chickenwing, but Revision pulls out of it, only to get pulled into a Reverse Waistlock, but Revision breaks out of that hold with a few elbows before running to the ropes and bouncing off. Kanyon catches him as he comes back and goes for a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker, but Revision spins all the way around and lands on his feet, rearing back and nailing Kanyon with a vicious forearm into his temple that sends Kanyon reeling. Revision runs to the ropes again, but Kanyon regains his senses in time to lash out with a SUPERKICK!!! Revision goes down hard, and Kanyon quickly hooks the leg for a cover. "1...2...TH-NO!" Revision gets a shoulder up, though he's obviously going to be feeling that one later. Kanyon rolls Revision over, beginning to hook his legs, going for the GRAND CANY-NO!!! Revision swings his body up and grabs Kanyon's head, using it for leverage to unhook his legs and swing them out up over the ropes. Revision runs up them and flips up over to land behind Kanyon, quickly turning around and pulling his head into a Neckbreaker position, running up the ropes for a FULL CIRC-NO!!! Kanyon pushes Revision off as he comes back down, but Revision quickly hits a Toekick and lifts Kanyon up on his shoulder for a FUTURE SHO-NO!!! Kanyon grabs the ropes in the corner and pulls himself up until his body is at a right angle with Revision's, then kicks out of the hold, Revision stumbling backwards as Kanyon hoists himself up on the top turnbuckle, jumping off and grabbing Revision's head to pull him down in a SPIKE DDT!!! COVER!!! "ONE...TWO...TH-NO!!!" Revision somehow gets a shoulder up, the crowd booing and jeering heavily for that. Kanyon looks a little angered at that, figuring he had the win, but lifts Revision up again, only to see Azure standing on the apron, trying to enter the ring while Joe attempts to prevent him from doing so. Suddenly, Revision lashes out with a Low Blow, then pulls Kanyon into a Northern Lights position and hits the CRIPPLER!!! Kanyon falls to his back after the Spiked Northern Lights Suplex, and Revision turns it into a bridge, Azure hopping down now as Joe turns and sees the pin, going for the count. "1...2...THREE!!!"

The crowd boos and jeers heavily at that cheap win while Victor Cross stands up. "Here is your winner...REVISION!!!"

Revision gets up to his feet after moving off Kanyon, grinning as he smirks down at the tag champ, who rolls over onto his side, clutching the back of his neck. Joe moves over to lift his hand, but Revision just walks over to the side of the ring, throwing his arms out to the side as "Hysteria" plays. Suddenly, though, the music cuts out, and everyone's attention turns to the entrance ramp as the sound of a guitar being jacked into an amp is heard before a few electric guitar strums fill the speakers. As a hard cymbol and bass drum beat join in, a section of the crowd is up on their feet almost immediately, staring at the entrance ramp with wide eyes.

Ohhhhhhh yeah....

"Poundcake" by Van Halen blares over the speakers as none other than "Phenomenal" Red Comet walks out through the curtains, earning a GIGANTIC pop from the section of crowd that had watched CTC before it went under. Red looks out over the crowd with a smile on his face, several more fans now getting up, recognizing the wrestler from pictures and word of mouth. Red begins to make his way down the ramp while Revision and Azure stare from the ring, just as confused about this turn of events as the rest of the crowd. Red makes his way to the ring, high-fiving the few fans that hold their hands out, making his way around the ring barrier and doing the same before sliding in and getting a mic from an official, his entrance theme fading out as he stares across the ring at Azure and Revision. Finally lifting his mic up, Red begins to speak.

Red: "So, this is the guy I keep hearing about...Revision. People say you're supposed to be the greatest cruiserweight ever in Gaian Wrestling. Obviously you're pretty good, I mean, you've got that Gaia title and all. But in CTC, when you asked who the greatest cruiserweight wrestler was, nobody said Revision. If you go to Puerto Rico, and you ask the wrestling fans there who the greatest cruiserweight wrestler is, I guarantee you that the first words out of their mouth are Red Comet! And, judging by the reaction that I got from a portion of this crowd when I came out, I think most of them would agree."

A huge cheer erupts from the fans who had done so during Red's entrance, obviously valuing him highly over Revision. Revision looks pissed at this, immediately demanding a mic.

Revision: "Obviously people in CTC and Puerto Rico are giant dumbasses! If they value you, a washed up has-been, over me, the greatest cruiserweight to ever step into a wrestling ring, then I think I can settle on the fact that that these people have no idea what they're talking about."

Red lifts the mic back up, looking a little displeased at having people from his home country insulted.

Red: "Well, Revision, obviously you're just as arrogant as they say..."

As Red speaks, Revision smirks a bit, looking behind him with a grin. Red notices this after a few moments, and stops, quickly dropping the mic and turning around to hit a Toekick on Azure, who had moved behind Red in an attempt to ambush him. Red pulls Azure down in a Standing Head Scissors, then flips over him with the STARSCREAM!!! The crowd pops huge as he does this, and Red quickly kips up, turning around to catch Revision with a Spinning Wheel Kick and bouncing back towards the ropes. As Revision sits up, Red comes forward and connects with the R.E.D. KICK!!! Revision is out after that, and the crowd erupts into cheers once more as Red reaches down to pic up a microphone as he stands over Revision.

Red: "If you're the best cruiserweight of all time, then you shouldn't have any objections to defending that title against me at the Tournament of Gods II, huh? I expect an answer next week." Red drops the mic on Revision's chest before exiting the ring, heading back up the ramp as "Poundcake" starts up again, the crowd cheering loudly as we fade...to...black.

The crowd was roaring with anticipation at the next match while Victor Cross took his place in the center of the ring with a mic in hand, the spotlight settling on him. "Ladies and Gentlemen! This match is for one fall with a 30 minute time limit!" The crowd quieted alittle, but down to a dull roar. "Now coming to the ring, Weighing in at 380lbs, standing at a staggering height of 7 feet 3 inches! A member of the Generation of Legends! IRON!!"

The opening drum beat of Iron man plays, the light dimming just enough for the crowd to see but sill dark. As soon as the opening guitar solo hits Pyros blast on stage and Iron walks out. Iron steps over the top rope and stands in the middle of the ring, hes hand slowly moves to hes metal mask. As soon as he gets a grip on the edge of the mask.. The light go dark then turn on fast showing him ripping the mask off shpwing a scar streaching to his ear right to his jaw. Iron awaits his opponent in the ring as Cross introduces his opponent for the evening.
"And his opponent! Standing at a height of 6 feet 2 inches! Weighing in at 242lbs! Hailing from Isle de Gambino, Gaia! One half of the tag team, "Legacy of Destruction!" A Former BTWF Television Champion! ECLIPSE!!"
The Big Screen shows a red LCD timer, slowly counting down. As it reaches the last few seconds, the lights go out and a ticking noise is heard.
~TICK TOCK TICK TOCK!~
As the timer reaches zero, a beep is heard then the screen goes blank right before a massive explosion of pyro from the entrance ramp, illuminating the arena as "Time Bomb" by Godsmack blares through the speakers as Eclipse walks down to the ring.
" I am in a living hell, makes me wonder if I'm alive.
Can't seem to bring myself to figure out why.
And I shove, and I pull away from the things I call you every night.
I can't seem to break you down, but I know I'll come around.
I feel your pins,
Through my eyes,
Piercing me...
Lie down in all this piss, you drink it from me every day.
I live in a world of s**t, been left here to die.
Sometimes I realize my mind was meant to go away.
Never have I seen your god, so why should I believe in faith? "
Eclipse slaps the hands of fans along the aisle, keeping his eyes on the ring and his opponent, his eyes almost burning through Iron even as he climbed through the ropes and walked to the ring post and removing his black hoodie and throwing it to the crowd and showing off his physique but still dwarfed by Iron's immense size.
"This is intense! The fans are going crazy and this is going to be a match to remember!" yelled one 'Heahdhunter" James Sharpton while sipping on a cold beer. "You said it, Jim..And to think that all the tag teams are going to be in the ring all at once in a few weeks where these men will square off again! Win or lose, both men get another crack at each other!" Vic "The Voice" Hartman added loudly. "This is going to be a classic David and Goliath match up!" Jim said shortly after a muffled belch to which Vic rolled his eyes.
As usual, the Durem crowd was out for blood, still roaring loudly, waiting for the match to start. Each man sizes the other up as Joe Schmoe asks if their ready , both men nod and Eclipse extents his hand to Iron in a show of sportsmanship, actually being booed by the heel-loving Durem crowd. Iron looks around, not sure what to do at the moment then slaps Eclipse's hand away and narrows his eyes to which Eclipse shrugs and steps back. Schmoe calls for the bell.
~DING! DING!~
Both men charge each other, locking up. Iron using his strength and weight to his advantage, pushing Eclipse back into the ropes, Schmoe breaks it up only to have Iron club Eclipse across the chest with a forearm. Eclipse grunts in pain and bounces back against the ropes , using his momentum to slam into Iron's midsection and heft him up with some strain and nailing an inverted atomic drop, only staggering the giant. Eclipse walking up to Iron, landing a knife edge chop right to his midsection then nailing his high with a basement drop kick, again only staggering him again.
"Iron refuses to go down!" Exclaimed Vic 'The Voice'. Now, Eclipse was starting to get frustrated. Finally, while Iron was still staggered, Eclipse attempted a scoop slam. After a moment or so, he finally got him off his feet and slammed him to the mat. The crowd booing loudly, some silent in a small moment of awe. Eclipse quickly drops the elbow but Iron rolls out of the way and the elbow misses it's target. Iron climbs back to his feet as does Eclipse and both men lock up once again, Iron quickly overpowering Eclipse, body slamming him right back. Eclipse squirms on the mat in pain as Iron reaches down and pulls him up my his hair, the crowd cheering loudly for Iron. Eclipse tries to retaliate by slamming forearms into Iron's midsection, trying to make him lower his head, Eclipse draws back and slams a good one right into his breadbasket, doubling the big man over. Eclipse quickly unleashing a massive DDT.
"DDT!!!" The Voice exclaimed, the crowd responding in loud boos. Eclipse tries his best to to ignore the crowds jeers and boos. "Check his hands, Schmoe! He has a weapon!!" Headhunter grunted. "That was a clean shot, You Idiot!" The Voice snapped his response. Iron hit hard and Eclipse immediately goes for the pin, Schmoe slides in for the count "1! 2! 2,5!!" Iron bench presses Eclipse off of him, breaking the pin count. Eclipse lands and rolls away, quickly making it to his feet but Iron is up first, still alittle dizzy from the DDT, suddenly both men start trading blows
"A good old fashion slobber knocker!!" Headhunter hooted as Iron nailed Eclipse right across the face hard, dizzifying him. Iron pulls Eclipse over to the corner and slams his head into the turnbuckle, bursting his forehead wide open. The crowd roars loudly at the sight of blood. Eclipse staggers back away from the trunbuckle, his forehead still bleeding fairly heavily. Iron gets alittle cocky and tries to slap on the Iron Man Slam.
"He's trying to end this early!" The Voice exclaimed, now on the edge of his seat as both men show now sign of backing down. The crowd cheers loudly as Iron nails the slam Eclipse and goes for the cover, Schmoe slides in to count the pin as the crowd counts loudly in unison.
'1!! 2!! thre--...NO!!!" NO one believes it, Eclipse kicked out, but just lies there, catching his breath. Iron starts stomping a mudhole in Eclipse' form to which he groans in pain with each stomp, the time seems to be running down and Victor Cross announces the 5 minute time limit mark.
"Five more minutes!"
Eclipse tries to pull himself to the ropes to pull himself up, despite the pain in his chest from Iron's stomping. Iron moves after him, grabbing his leg and pulling him back to the center of the ring and Iron goes to stomping on Eclipse back. Eclipse screams in pain with each stomp, it driving the wind right out of him. Iron once again pulls Eclipse up to his feet, shoving his head between his legs and quickly nailing The Iron Effect, slamming Eclipse chest first into the mat. The blood from Eclipse's wound already staining the mat. Iron straddles Eclipse back and sets him up for the After Pain, Iron slaps it on and leans back, Eclipse is barely conscious. Schmoe slides in and to check Eclipse asking if he's okay and listening and observing him. The crowd jeers Eclipse loudly who slams his fist into the mat to keep himself conscious and he tries to move to the ropes, he roars in pain as Iron leans back further just as Cross starts the 10 second count. 10..9...8...7...6...5...4...3..2...Eclipse frantically taps out just as Schmoe calls for the bell. as Cross reaches 1.
~DING! DING! DING!~
"Here is your winner by Submission! IRON!!" Victor Cross yelled as he introduced the matches winner as "Iron Man" blares through the loud speakers as Iron leaves a beaten Eclipse in the ring as Schmoe attends to his head and checks him for any other injuries.
"What a match! Eclipse fought against all odds to the end but still lost!" The Voice said loudly "Eclipse got his candy a** handed to him!! Pure and simple!" Headhunter yelled, adding his two-cents.

[ Message temporarily off-line ]

Victor Cross: "The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall and has a half an hour time limit."

"Introducing first, at a combined weight of 633 pounds, the team of the Combat Ace Yuri Yurievich and Jack Frost!"

*As Yuri and Frost make their way out from the back to "Ultra" by KMFDM they get some mixed boos and a couple of jeers for Frost, but really the crowd doesn't seem to care about them too much. This doesn't discourage the unlikely team as they make their way down the entrance ramp and quickly enter the ring before going over to the corner they have chosen for this match and talking about who will be the first to get their hands on who in this match.*

"And their opponents, at a combined weight of 507 pounds, the team of The Demon and the "Wrestling G.O.D." Austin Azure!"

*The Durem fans go from giving a few jeers here and there to Frost and Yuri to standing on their feet and cheering as the team of Demon and Azure make their way from the back to the sounds of "Better Than You" by the Hellacopters. Both men soak in the cheering of the crowd as they make their way to the ring, but both also seem focused on this match tonight and don't hesitate to make it to the bottom of the entrance ramp and enter the ring before going to their corner and starting to talk about who will enter the match first tonight.*

*The Bell Rings*

Both odd teams stand in their corners discussing who will be the first out in this match while the Durem crowd continues to cheer for The Demon, and even more for Austin Azure who has received no less than a hero's welcome for returning to Durem, despite having lost the last couple of weeks. After a bit of arguing between Austin and Demon it is decided that Demon will start out against Yuri who Frost is fine with letting in the match first. As Austin and Frost go out onto their respective ring aprons Demon and Yuri stare each other down in the middle of the ring. Each seeming confident, but Demon looking more likely the winner out of this match up due to his size and the roll he has been on as of late. No circling around the ring is done as the two come right together in the center of the ring and go into a collar and elbow tie-up to really get this match under way. To the surprise of virtually no one in the arena Demon ends up with control over Yuri in a matter of moments and proceeds to shove Yuri into a neutral corner before letting go of the lock up and slamming the Combat Ace with a hard knife edged chop across the chest. Demon then proceeds to make Yuri take a few more of these vicious chops before grabbing Yuri by the wrist and whipping him across the ring into the opposite neutral corner where Yurievich appears to have hit the corner pretty hard. When Demon charges at Yuri he finds out otherwise as the big Russian lifts his leg into the air and nails Demon with a boot to the face that leaves Demon backing out of the corner with his face held in his hands. Yuri waits a few moments in the corner to catch his breath before walking out to Demon who is bent over facing away from Yuri and grabbing Demon by the hair. When Yuri does this however, he ends up getting a sharp elbow to the gut from Demon that makes Yuri keel over holding his stomach as Demon stands back up erect and turns around to face Yuri.

Once Demon has turned to face Yuri he grabs the Combat Ace by the head before pulling him into a front facelock and lifting him into the air. Instead of slamming Yuri down with a quick suplex Demon keeps Yurievich held in the air so he is upside down and vertical to the ground. This makes the blood rush to Yuri's head and also signals the Durem crowd to start to count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 seconds pass before Demon decides Yuri has had enough and drops him for the finish of the Stalling Vertical Suplex. Once both men have crashed down onto the mat Demon sits back up and crawls over onto Yuri for an early cover, 1...2...Yurievich kicks out. This draws a small chorus of boos from the Durem crowd despite it obviously not being the end of this match. Either way Demon gets back to his feet and seems as confident as ever as he bends down and grabs Yuri by the arms before dragging the former TV Champion over to his corner where he tags in another former TV Champion whose name is Austin Azure. Without any hesitation Azure jumps over the top rope and into the ring after being tagged in, surprising many of the Durem faithful who give him a ridiculous amount of cheers for such a simple maneuver. Once Austin gets into the ring Demon lifts Yuri to his feet and hands him over to Austin who places Yurievich into a front facelock before moving with him towards the middle of the ring and allowing Demon to make it out onto the ring apron. With Yuri still held in the facelock in the center of the ring Austin raises one arm into the air to pose for a moment, but when he does so Yuri begins to fight out and pushes Austin backwards into the ropes before standing back straight up again. The Durem crowd boos this, but begins cheering once more as Austin rebounds off the ropes to hit Yuri with a Shoulder Block. Instead of going down like a wrestler usually would Yuri doesn't even move and inch which gets him more jeers from this heel loving Durem crowd, but Austin doesn't seem discouraged yet as he runs into the ropes to his left before coming off them and trying once more to hit Yuri with a Shoulder Block. This time Yuri at least takes a step back, but it is clear he is still not one bit shaken from this type of move thanks to Austin being a smaller opponent.

Persistent as always Austin decides to try this one more time and runs back into the ropes he had come off of the first time, only for Yuri to run backwards into the ropes opposite of the ones Austin went at. When the "Wrestling G.O.D." turns around and rebounds back off the ropes he sees what Yuri has done and almost has his head taken off with a Lariat when the two meet in the center of the ring, but Austin is able to stick his arm up to block the Lariat from Yuri and while keeping Yurievich's arm hooked Austin jumps up onto Yuri's back before hooking Yuri's legs as well and hitting the Combat Ace with a nicely executed Crucifix Bomb before keeping Yuri's shoulders down for a pin, 1...2...Yuri kicks out. Even though Azure holds a grudge against Yuri he seems to be focused on winning this match tonight and gets back to his feet quickly before bending down and grabbing Yuri by the head to pull him back to his feet. Once Azure has Yuri back up he places the Combat Ace into a standing head scissors before looking out at the fans in the Durem Superdome and smirking. Azure then yells out "Piledriver!", which gets a huge pop for being a relatively small move in wrestling today, before Austin lifts Yuri up into the air and plants him with a picture perfect Piledriver and letting Yuri flop over onto his back so Azure can go for another cover, 1...2...Yuri kicks out once more. Just like after the last pin attempt Austin gets back up to his feet in a hurry and picks Yuri back up off the ground again before grabbing Yuri by the wrist and whipping him into the far set of ropes. Austin slaps his leg a couple of times as Yuri makes it to and rebounds off the ropes before going to hit Yuri with a Mafia Kick. Somehow Yurievich is able to duck under the low flying foot of Austin and keeps on running until he hits the opposite set of ropes before coming back at Azure again. Much to the surprise of the Combat Ace however, Austin is already facing Yuri and yells out " S-T-O" before nailing Yuri with an STO and garnering another pop from the Durem crowd as he goes for a cover, 1...2...Yuri kicks out.

Now it seems that Austin is getting a bit upset as he gets back to his feet once more, but that anger starts to subside when he sees Jack Frost on the other ring apron ready to get into the match and destroy anything in his path. Azure breaks his gaze on Frost after a moment and goes to grab Yuri up off the ground as he has done several times in this match, but this time as Austin gets Yuri up to his knees the Combat Ace shoves Austin away from him. This annoys an already upset Azure who comes back at Yuri with a kick that looks like it will connect with the side of Yuri's head, but Yurievich sticks his arm up to block the kick before grabbing Austin's right leg and pulling Austin in towards him as he stands up and hits Austin with a Spinebuster. Jeers rain down from the Durem crowd after this, but Yuri is much more worried about getting to his corner which be begins to crawl too after hitting that last desperation move. Austin also starts to stir as Yuri gets nearer to his corner and starts to crawl to where Demon is waiting for the tag. Even though Austin started later he is closer to his corner and tags out to Demon who rushes into the ring to stop Yuri, but by the time he is in the center of the ring it is too late and Frost is being tagged in. The Durem crowd isn't sure how to react to Frost at first, but once he has stepped into the ring and come to the center of the ring to confront Demon people begin to cheer just because they want to see these two beat the hell out of each other. As two of the biggest men in the BTWF stare each other down the Durem crowd begins to chant "HOSS, HOSS, HOSS" because the size of the two individuals. At first neither man seems to want to take the initiative, but Demon, who has been growing more and more confident with each win he has racked up lately, starts things off by blasting Frost with a big right hand that would have knocked down anyone else on the entire roster. Not Frost though, who stands there for a few moments before rubbing his chin and then nailing Demon with a hard right hand that Demon IGNORES~!

Suddenly, much to the delight of the Durem fans, the two start to break down and deliver HUGE right hands to each other with neither willing to back up an inch. Blow after blow nails its mark, but still neither man with back down. Finally, Demon can see this is going nowhere and runs backwards before coming back at Frost with a Big Boot that NAILS Frost square in the chest, BUT FROST IGNORES IT COMPLETELY~! As Demon regains his balance Frost charges backwards and DESTROYS Demon with a Yakuza Kick to the face that makes the big man almost fly backwards into the ropes, but somehow Demon gets right back up off the ropes and charges at Frost with a Lariat. This devastating Lariat connects hard with Frost, yet the huge individual is barely staggered from it. Demon seems relatively pissed off at this fact and charges at the ropes again only to come back at Frost with another Lariat that rattles the big man slightly. Now Demon is FURIOUS and slams Frost in the face with a right hand before grabbing Frost by the wrist and whipping him across the ring. As Frost runs towards and rebounds off the ropes Demon runs at the ropes that are perpendicular to the ones Frost hit and as the two come together in the center of the ring Demon hits Frost with a RUNNING SHOULDER BLOCK (AKA THE POOOOOUUUUNNNNNCCCEEEE)!! This makes the big man fall to the ground and Demon goes for a cover on the giant, 1...Frost kicks out! DISRESPECT~! Demon gets back up to his feet after this and cannot believe that Frost just kicked out of the move at 1, but goes back over to Frost anyway only to see that Frost is already up on his knees. As Frost gets to his feet Demon sees an almost sadistic look in Frost's eyes showing that tonight, thanks to Demon, he is here for a fight.

Now we are back to square one as both men stare each other down in the middle of the ring. Once more Demon becomes the aggressor to break this stalemate as he hits Frost in the face with another right hand, but unlike last time Frost just kicks Demon hard in the gut after and places the big man into a standing head scissors. From here Frost lifts Demon up onto his shoulders before planting Demon with a FOLDOVER POWERBOMB!!! Frost keeps it held for the pin, 1...Demon kicks out! DUAL DISRESPECT~! Frost isn't done yet as he lets go of Demon only for a moment before grabbing Demon by the hair and pulling him back to his feet. Once he has Demon up Frost grabs the large individual's wrist before whipping Demon into a neutral corner which Demon collides with HARD. Frost then charges at Demon to possibly squash him, but like Yuri did to Demon earlier in the night Demon lifts his leg up and nails Frost in the face with a boot before grabbing Frost by the shoulders and turning him around so Frost is in the corner. Demon then hits some BRUTAL chops to the chest of Frost before moving out of the corner past the middle of the ring and charging in at Frost. Without warning Frost moves out of the corner towards Demon and catches Demon with an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY INTO THE CORNER!!! Demon SMASHES into the turnbuckles which are held by the ring post and flops down to the floor seemingly lifeless as the Durem crowd chants "he's ******** up." Frost doesn't even seem to care about Demon's condition as he stands back to his feet before dragging Demon out of the corner on his back and placing him in the center of the ring for a cover, 1...2...Demon kicks out! The crowd can't seem to believe it and neither can Austin or Yuri who have been watching this from their respective ring aprons with a bit of awe at how much force these two are placing into their moves against each other.

Frost is the only one in the arena that seems to know what has to be done to Demon to put him down as he pulls Demon back up to his feet while Frost stands back up to his own at the same time. Once Frost has Demon back up though, Demon suddenly nails Frost with a right hand to the jaw before kicking Frost in the left knee and finally kneeing Frost in the gut so Demon can place Frost in a front facelock. With Frost set in the facelock Demon hooks one of Frost's legs with his free arm before lifting Frost up for a COLOSSAL Fisherman's Suplex. The wrestling ring doesn't appear it can take much more here as both men make it shake uncontrollably once more, but it might have to as Demon gets back to his feet after this move and drags Frost up to his knees before placing the giant in a standing head scissors. A hush falls over the Durem crowd as Demon lifts Frost up onto his shoulders and hits the HELL'S BOMB ON THE 391 POUND GIANT!!! The Durem crowd erupts with cheers as Demon falls onto Frost for the cover, 1...2...2.5...FROST KICKS OUT!! Shock overruns the arena as no one can believe what just happened, especially Demon who is FURIOUS beyond description. After taking a moment to catch his breath Demon gets back to his feet and pulls Frost up to his knees, but can't quite get the big man all the way to his feet. Demon decides this is enough and charges at the far set of ropes before rebounding off back at Frost only to be caught with a FROZEN VORTEX FROM FROST!!! The ring literally seems to be on the brink of collapsing as the two huge men crash down onto it, but before it has the chance Frost covers Demon, 1...2...3!

*The Bell Rings*

Victor Cross: "And here are your winners, Yuri Yurievich and Jack Frost!"

*The crowd in Durem is going crazy for that display of power by Frost and Demon even though Durem usually isn't too into Hosses like Barton would be. For the last pinfall attempt both Azure and Yuri rushed from their corners, one to stop it and the other to stop the one trying to stop it, but now both have their eyes locked on the other ready to take out their frustrations from the match. Yuri's frustration being that he didn't get much of a chance to shine in the match and Azure's being that Demon just lost. Before either can get into it though Frost stands back up and keeps them separated while Demon rolls out of the ring with the little strength he has left. After a few moments Austin tells Frost that he won't try anything and they should celebrate their victory before turning around as if to get out of the ring. When Austin does this however, someone jumps out from the crowd with something in their hand before sliding into the ring and clocking Yuri with what is in their hand. It doesn't take long for the Durem fans to recognize the Kendo Stick that Xunkai is carrying and has just clobbered Yuri with much to the delight of Austin who has just turned around to witness it. It is too early for EP to celebrate though as Frost turns around to confront Xunkai and goes to take the Kendo Stick Xunkai has. Before Frost can do this though Austin comes up behind Frost and nails him in the back of the head with a Roaring Elbow that doesn't seem to have much effect on the big man. As Frost turns to face Azure though Xunkai nails the giant with a shot from the Kendo stick, and another, and one more to make sure it is working, before he drops the Kendo stick and both Azure and Xunkai grab an arm of Frost and whip him across the ring into the far set of ropes. Both EP members then charge at Frost and hit him with a Double Lariat that somehow takes Frost to the outside.*

*With Frost now outside of the ring Azure calls for a microphone, but when it is thrown to him Xunkai snags it from Austin and tells him he should go to the back for the time being. Xunkai then stares at Jack Frost who is on the floor looking up at the confident light heavyweight with an angry look.*

Xunkai: "Yeah Frosty, I can see what you're thinking there, but really I don't care if you charge me again because I'll just knock you out of the ring again until I get my promo time."

*Frost doesn't seem to agree with this, but being as tired as he is he just walks off instead of messing with Xunkai anymore. The former SF Champion looks pleased with this, and also with seeing Yuri who is very upset leave as well. Finally, once Demon has made his way off the ground and to the back the cheering from the Durem fans for Xunkai ceases and the man who beat Steve Twist at BloodBath '05 has the floor.*

Xunkai: "Ah Durem, the best place to pull a promo. The only problem I have with being here right now, is that my head still hurts like a Riona Langly from the beating I absorbed at BloodBath '05."

*The Durem crowd laughs at this heartily, not caring if it wasn't all that funny.*

Xunkai: "Thanks for the hospitality there, but I know that I'm no stand up comedian. The same can't be said for Steve however, who seems to be more that than a wrestler nowdays. I mean Twist used to be a great wrestler, don't get me wrong there, but lately he is pretty bland at best. Or maybe it is just the fact that instead of beating jobbers like Bryan Kutterman now he has to face the likes of Empty Promises whose members can take him anyday of the week."

Xunkai: "Either way I don't really like being on the stick that much so I'll get to what I came out here to do. And that is to call Steve Twist out since he thinks that he can MAKE ME take his little Pepsi Challenge for ToG II or whatever he wants to call it. So how about it Twist? Why don't you come out here in Durem right now so we can see if you have what it takes or not to make me take another..."

BRUISES!

*Before Xunkai can even finish his last sentence out from the back comes Steve Twist who has a pair of blue Nike athletic shorts, a white Hanes t-shirt, and a pair of his signature "Steve Twist" Nikes on and appears to be ready for a fight.*

Xunkai: "Well it seems that you aren't such a big chicken-s**t after all Steve. Just being courageous isn't enough for me though because I remember damn well what happened to me at BloodBath '05. You beat the hell out of me even if I managed to win and tonight I'm going to repay you for that before shooting down your damn challenge and making you retire from wrestling for good!"

*Steve just ignores Xunkai as he makes his way down to the ring and upon arriving there he looks up at Xunkai before yelling "Were you saying something?" at him and rolling into the ring where Xunkai immediately charges at him with the Kendo stick in one hand and microphone in the other. Steve quickly rolls back out of the ring as he sees this and Xunkai doesn't look happy as he follows Steve, but only out onto the ring apron.*

Xunkai: "So you are just a big bunch of hype after all huh Steve? Well that is fine because I'm still going to beat your a**!"

*The Durem crowd cheers Xunkai as he throws down the microphone and leaps off the ring apron at Steve, directing a blow from the Kendo stick at Steve's head as he does this. Unfortunately for Xunkai Steve places his hands above his head and catches the Kendo stick with his hands to stop it before keeping it held and pulling it away from Xunkai as he lands on the ground. Steve then throws the Kendo stick to the side before leveling Xunkai with a big right hand that gets jeers from the crowd. As Xunkai falls to the floor Steve turns to the ring apron before lifting up the ring skirt and grabbing a BARBED WIRE KENDO STICK from under the ring! The crowd jeers this even more as the target this will be used on is Xunkai and indeed when Xunkai stands back up to his feet he gets nailed with the Barbed Wire Kendo Stick. Steve shows he isn't done though and drops down to where Xunkai is laid out on the floor and bleeding slightly from the forehead before placing Xunkai in a sitting position and pushing the barbed wire kendo stick onto his forehead before tearing it back and forth to further lacerate his former best friend and tag partner. The Durem crowd continues to s**t all over this with jeers, but Steve doesn't care as he makes more blood spill from the head of Xunkai before finally standing up and grabbing the microphone, knowing that Xunkai won't get up very quick thanks to the blood loss he has sustained lately.*

Twist: "Xunkai, I know that you aren't very hurt right now, but that will change come ToG II. Do you want to know why? Well since I managed to lose legit to someone on PPV for the first time besides Omega I have decided to take out a lot of anger on that person. Now usually I don't like Blade's big bloody matches he put me in which is why I went with a Taped Fist match last time, but we have all seen how that turned out. This time though I'm not going to limit myself to a match I haven't been in before and am not very adept in. Instead we'll be having a match seen only once before in the BTWF and one that people never thought they would see again."

Twist: "That's right Xunkai, at ToG II it will be you and me, one on one, in the first match like this since nearly a year ago, the one and only...BARBED WIRE ROPES MATCH!!!

*With that Steve drops the microphone before backing away from Xunkai who is getting up to his feet. Steve just stares at Xunkai as he walks backwards up the entrance ramp with the barbed wire kendo stick still held in his hand. Xunkai returns Steve's gaze after a few moments and both men know that tonight was nothing compared to what is going to go down June 14th, so both had better be prepared.*

OOC: |Reserved for TV Championship|

The crowd gets up on their feet as this six-man tag seems about to start. Victor Cross enters the ring, beginning to speak. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is a six-man tag team match!"

The lights dim as past matches of the GoL are seen on the BarTron. Suddenly, the GoL logo appears as the opening guitar solo of "This Is Now" by Hatebreed hits, the crowd beginning to boo and jeer as Kutterman walks out and heads down to the ring slowly, stopping at the bottom of the ramp and throwing his arms out to the side as pyro shoots off at the top of the stage and Iron and Apolo follow him out down to the ring. "Introducing first, at a combined weight of nine hundred seventy-two pounds, they are the team of Bryan Kutterman, Iron and Apolo...THE GENERATION OF LEGENDS!!!"

Kutterman slides into the ring and begins to taunt the crowd while Iron and Apolo climb up onto the apron and step over the top rope, coming to stand behind their leader as he stops in the middle of the ring, throwing his arms out to the side once more before removing his longcoat and handing it off. The three move over to their corner and watch the entrance ramp as "This Is Now" fades out.

The lights flash to an ice blue color as the opening percussion solo of "Come Out and Play" by The Offspring hits, the crowd immediately getting up on their feet and erupting into cheers. As three quick guitar strums pulse through the speakers, the lights change to dark blue to purple and back to ice blue while dark blue mist gathers at the top of the entrance ramp. Finally, the solo ends as one phrase is uttered through the speakers.

You gotta keep 'em seperated...

A huge explosion of dark blue pyro erupts at the top of the entrance ramp as Seraph and Kanyon run out through the fog and onto the top of the stage, dashing to either side and pumping up the crowd, who responds with a giant cheer for the popular cruiserweight tag champs. Finally, the song begins its first verse as a pair of fans blow away the smoke, revealing Dar standing behind the fog, walking out and throwing his arms up into an X as more blue pyro shoots off from the ramp in the shape of an X. Seraph and Kanyon begin to head down the ramp, Dar following behind, dressed in his sleeveless t-shirt. "And their opponents, at a combined weight of seven hundred sixteen pounds, they are the team of the BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, Darson Grays, and the BTWF Tag Team Champions, Irvine Kanyon and Seraph, HALO...THE ARCHETYPES OF EXCELLENCE!!!"

Dar, Seraph and Kanyon all slide into the ring, running directly across it, HALO jumping up into both of the corners on that side of the ring while Dar grabs the top rope and pulls himself onto the middle one, standing on it as he raises his arms up in an X, HALO following his lead. The three men jump back down after a few moments and head back over to their corners after handing off their title belts and entrance accessories. Grey Fox asks if both teams are ready, then moves back and calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!!!

After a few moments of deliberation, the two teams decide to start off with Kutterman and Kanyon, the two walking out into the middle of the ring and beginning to circle slowly. The two then lock up, fighting for a few moments before Kutterman takes Kanyon into an Armbar, but the tag champ just twists out of it and pulls Kutterman into an Armbar of his own before sweeping his legs and taking him down in an Overhead Wristlock. Kutterman manages to get back up to his feet, though, pulling Kanyon's arm into another armlock before kicking the backs of his knees and forcing Kanyon down into a kneeling position, slapping across his back with his free hand while still keeping the arm locked with the other. Kanyon stands back up, but Kutterman sweeps his legs and turns him over, looking to be going for some kind of grounded armbar, but Kanyon reaches out and grabs the ropes with his free arm before Kutterman can even start. Kutterman is forced to back off by Grey Fox, heading back over to his corner and tagging in Iron. The crowd seems a little apprehensive at Kanyon going up against such a big man as Iron, but Kanyon doesn't tag out to Dar, quickly circling around Iron. The two men go to lock up into a grapple, but Iron pulls Kanyon's arm into an Armbar almost immediately, only to have Kanyon do a quick forward flip to twist out of the hold and sweep Iron's legs, grabbing one and twisting it as if about to go for a Figure Four, but Iron lashes out with his other leg, trying to kick Kanyon in the head. The cruiserweight is able to block most of the shots, but he can't grab Iron's other leg to complete the hold, and finally backs off, only to jump down and roll Iron over into a Side Headlock. Iron doesn't let this go on for long, however, swinging his legs up and pulling Kanyon down in a Head Scissors. Kanyon rolls over onto his feet and pulls out of it, going to twist Iron's legs into an Indian Deathlock, but Kutterman is in, only to have Kanyon turn and take him down with a quick right hand. Kutterman rolls back to his corner before Grey Fox can even get any chastisement out, Kanyon dragging Iron over to his own corner and tagging in Seraph before pulling Iron into an Abdominal Stretch and allowing Seraph to get a quick kick in on his exposed ribs.

Kanyon lets go and moves out onto the apron while Seraph catches Iron with a big European Uppercut, grabbing Iron as he comes off the ropes and taking him down with a Snapmare before pulling him into a grounded Chinlock. Iron manages to pull out of it, however, grabbing Seraph's arm and twisting it up into a Hammerlock while Seraph lies face-down on the mat. Iron cranks up on Seraph's arm while hitting some clubbing blows to his lower back. Seraph manages to get up to his feet, but Iron keeps the Hammerlock held in, pulling Seraph back and taking him down to the mat in a quick cover. "1...2" Seraph kicks out, but Iron just lifts him back up, not letting go of that arm, twisting it over into an Armbar. Seraph quickly comes at Iron with a few forearm shots to the face, stunning him long enough to take him over with a Hiptoss, locking in an Arm Scissors on the mat. Iron gets up to his feet, but Seraph twists his arm around into an Armbar and keeps him from getting out of the hold, quickly moving over to his corner and tagging in Dar, the crowd letting out a cheer as the champ quickly moves through the ropes and hits a boot to Iron's gut while Seraph holds him in the Armbar. Dar knocks Iron back into the ropes with some big chops, then hits a Snapmare before connecting with a vicious knee right into the back of Iron's head, grabbing his shoulders and pulling him down for a cover. "1...2" Iron kicks out. Dar lifts Iron back up and pulls him over to the corner, taking him in an Abdominal Stretch and tagging Kanyon in, allowing the cruiserweight to get in a kick to the gut before Dar exits the ring. Kanyon grabs Iron's arm and whips him into the corner, running forward and ducking to the side as Iron attempts to lift his leg up and catch Seraph with a boot to the face. Instead, Seraph grabs Iron's knee and pulls the back of it down into a Stunner! Iron falls to the ground and clutches his knee, cringing a bit. Kanyon grabs Iron's leg and pulls him over to the corner, tagging in Seraph and holding his leg while Seraph grabs it and twists it down in a Kneebar. Iron tries to come at Seraph with some attacks to the back of his head, but Seraph just turns and slaps across Iron's chest repeatedly.

Seraph quickly stands up, then drops an elbow down into Iron's knee and locks in another Kneebar, AoE obviously having decided to pick apart his legs in order to cut the biggest man in GoL down to size. Iron begins to get his leg up out of the hold, but Seraph turns and grabs his leg, pulling it up and back into a Half Boston Crab, cranking back hard on his knee. Iron fights his way up to a crawling position, but Seraph just jumps up and slams down on his back with his hips. This slows Iron, but he stills manages to get to the ropes. He's near Seraph's corner, however, and Seraph takes the time to tag out to Kanyon. Seraph holds onto his leg and pulls him away from the ropes, allowing Kanyon to come in and grab his leg, twisting it around to lock in a Standing Figure Four! Kanyon doesn't fall back to his back in an attempt to keep some leverage with the move, knowing that Iron could turn it over easily and reverse the pressure if he went on his back. Kanyon then leans back and tags in Dar, who quickly comes in and takes his legs, both men twisting them around before dropping down with Double Dragon Screws into the mat, banging Iron's knees into the mat. Kanyon moves out onto the apron while Dar laces his leg through, attempting to get him in another leg lock, but Iron manages to kick out of it. Dar still lifts Iron up, this time bringing him down hard with a Shinbreaker, but doesn't let go of Iron's leg, taking him down back to the mat with another Dragon Screw. Dar drags Iron back over to his corner, tagging Kanyon back in. Kanyon and Dar both hold Iron's legs and each take a boot shot right into his knees before Dar exits the ring and leaves Iron to Kanyon. Kanyon locks in an STF quickly, wrenching on Iron's knees for a few moments, but then reaches over and tags out to Seraph before Iron can get to the ropes, Seraph hitting a boot to Iron's side to prevent him from getting a rope break, then takes his other leg and locks in a second STF, but with a Full Nelson instead of a crossface hold. Occasionally, Seraph pulls Iron into a modified Abdominal Stretch and hit him with a slap hard across the chest. Finally, though, Iron breaks out of the hold with his free leg, kicking Seraph back away from him. Seraph grabs Iron's leg as he tries to crawl away and get back to his corner, pulling Iron up and looking like he's about to hit another Dragon Screw, but Iron lashes out with a harsh forearm across Seraph's face, knocking him back to the mat and allowing him to crawl over to the corner and tag in Apolo to the crowd's boos.

Apolo runs forward towards Seraph, but Seraph manages to get up and cut him down with a big chop, using Apolo's own momentum against him. Seraph catches Apolo with another chop, then goes to whip him across the ring, only to get it reversed by Apolo and get sent into the ropes himself. Seraph leapfrogs over Apolo as he bends down, stopping and turning around to go for a Hurricarana, but Apolo bends down and stops Seraph's momentum, Kutterman coming into the ring and picking Seraph up by his head as Apolo holds onto his legs, Iron coming in to stand between them holding Seraph's back, Grey Fox occupied with keeping Kanyon and Dar from coming into the ring to help their partner, the GoL dropping down to nail a backbreaker/neckbreaker combo. Seraph rolls onto his stomach and clutches his back, but Apolo just stands up as Kutterman and Iron exit the ring, jumping up to nail a big Knee Drop right into Seraph's lower back, earning a big cringe from the cruiserweight. Apolo keeps his knee on Seraph's back, reaching forward to lock in a Camel Clutch while digging his knee hard into Seraph's spine. Seraph can't reach the ropes, but he doesn't seem to be giving up, finally managing to get up to his feet and turn to hit a few elbows into Apolo's gut, forcing him to break the hold, only to have Apolo just throw him head first down into the mat, the back of Seraph's head crashing into the canvas. Apolo lifts Seraph up and pulls him over to his corner, tagging in Kutterman and hitting an elbow across Seraph's back as he holds him in a Front Facelock. Kutterman slaps his hands across Seraph's exposed back, then pulls him out to the middle of the ring, only to have Seraph come at him with some quick hooks into his gut before pulling him into a Side Headlock. Kutterman just counters this into a Back Suplex, however, driving Seraph's back into the mat. Kutterman goes for a quick cover, but Kanyon is in, hitting a boot to Kutterman's back to break the pin. Kutterman lifts Seraph up and hits a Snapmare, following it up with a harsh kick right into his back. Kutterman lifts Seraph back up, pulling him into a Front Facelock and moving him back over to his corner, tagging Iron back in and allowing the big man to hit a giant forearm across Seraph's back. Iron pulls Seraph away from the corner and pushes him up against the ropes, hitting a vicious chop across his chest. Iron pushes Seraph back into the corner and hits another chop, but Seraph suddenly grabs Iron's head and pushes him into the corner instead, coming at him with a chop of his own. Seraph goes for a few more chops, but Iron stops this with a quick eye rake.

Iron whips Seraph into the corner, coming at him with a big Clothesline into it as Kutterman and Apolo get into the ring. Iron taunts Dar, bringing the champ into the ring to try and save his faction teammate, but Grey Fox holds him back, allowing Kutterman and Apolo to hit some big knees right into Seraph's back after turning him to face the corner. Apolo pulls Seraph out of the corner after making a clapping sound as if Iron had initiated a tag, then hits a big Back Suplex, spiking this one a bit to land Seraph on his head. Apolo turns and speaks to Kutterman for a few moments, seeming to be discussing a plan, but Seraph takes this time to roll over to his corner, the crowd ready for him to tag out and get some relief, but Apolo catches him in time, pulling him back away from the corner. Apolo taunts Dar and Kanyon, bringing them back into the ring and making Grey Fox hold them back once again, allowing Kutterman and Iron to come back into the ring. Apolo lifts Seraph up on his shoulders in a Powerbomb position, and Iron and Kutterman each grab a side of him, all three men pushing down hard on Seraph and slamming him down into the mat with the force of three Powerbombs, the ring shaking from the impact. Kutterman claps his hands to signify another tag, then drops down and hooks Seraph's leg. Kanyon and Dar don't exit the ring right away though, staying in and trying to buy Seraph some time to recuperate from the Triple Powerbomb, finally backing off out onto the apron, Grey Fox turning around to see the pin and dropping down. "1...2...TH-NO!" Seraph manages to throw a shoulder up, the crowd cheering and sighing with relief. Iron lifts Seraph up and hits a Backbreaker, but holds him across his knee in a Cross-Knee Backbreaker hold, wrenching down on his legs and neck and hyperextending Seraph's spine. Seraph won't tap out, though, and Kutterman finally has to stand up, calling for Iron to enter the ring, which he does, Kutterman whipping Seraph right into him and allowing Iron to lift him up for a big Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker. Seraph cringes as his back is driven down into a knee once again, Iron exiting the ring due to Grey Fox's insistance, while Kutterman grabs Seraph's legs and wrenches them back hard in a Boston Crab, trying to elevate it and extend Seraph's back even more. Kanyon is finally able to get into the ring this time, hitting a kick to Kutterman's back to break the hold, knowing that could've been the end.

Kutterman takes advantage of Grey Fox pushing Kanyon back into the corner again, however, knocking Seraph into his own corner as Apolo and Iron come back in. Kutterman turns to taunt Dar and Kanyon, leaving Iron and Apolo to beat on Seraph, but Seraph suddenly fights back, coming at both men with chops and forearms to the jaw, finally knocking Apolo down with some well-placed hits, even stunning Iron. Apolo gets right back up, though, grabbing a kick from Seraph and smirking at him as Iron moves to the side, but Seraph suddenly swings up for an Enzuigiri. Apolo scouts the move and ducks it, but Seraph swings his leg out far enough to hit Iron at the side! Iron is down, Apolo releasing Seraph's leg and coming at him with a Clothesline, but Seraph ducks under it and hits a shoulder right into Apolo's gut before kicking off his knee and turning in the air to grab his neck, pulling him down in the ARCHETYPE CUTTER MARK III!!! The crowd pops huge as Seraph nails the desperation maneuver, coming forward only to have Kutterman come at him with another Clothesline, but Seraph ducks under it and lifts him up for a Fireman's Carry, locking in a Half Nelson and swinging him out for the HIGH WIND!!! The crowd is on their feet now, Seraph finally rolling over and tagging in Dar! Dar moves through the ropes and takes Iron down with a Clothesline, turning and knocking Apolo down to the mat with a big right hand, knocking each man down again with some vicious punches each time they get back up and try to rush him. Dar whips Apolo across the ring and catches him with a big Back Body Drop, slamming Apolo down into the mat. Apolo stands up and walks around the ring clutching his back, but Kanyon hits a punch from his corner, knocking Apolo back into a Powerslam from Dar! Hooks the leg! "1...2..." Apolo kicks out. Dar stands up, letting Apolo go as Kutterman comes at him with a Lariat attempt, but Dar ducks under it, pulling Kutterman back into a German Suplex! Rolls through! Dragon Suplex! Rolls through! Tiger Suplex! TRIUMVIRATAE SUPLEX!!! Dar lets go after the Tiger Suplex, standing up and pulling Iron back into a FACTORPLEX!!! Dar lifts Iron back up, seeming to want to go for another suplex, but Iron twists out of it and pulls Dar back into a Half Nelson, but Dar elbows his way out of it, knocking Iron back into a charging elbow from Kanyon! Seraph climbs up to the top rope, and Dar tags out, Seraph jumping off and catching Iron with a DIVING HURRICARANA!!!

Apolo climbs up to the top as he does so, however, about to jump off and catch Seraph with a move as he turns around, but Dar quickly runs back in and climbs up the ropes, catching Apolo with a Superplex! Seraph rolls over onto Apolo for the cover! "1...2..." Kutterman breaks the pin. Kanyon is in to come at Kutterman, however, catching him with forearms that knock him back into the ropes then goes to whip him across the ring, but Kutterman reverses it, only to have Kanyon twist around and stop the momentum, coming in with a Toekick that Kutterman grabs, spinning Kanyon around and going for a Toekick of his own, but Kanyon blocks this and spins Kutterman around, connecting with a Toekick this time before grabbing his head and running up the ropes, twisting in the air to pull Kutterman down in the ARCHETYPE CUTTER MARK II!!! The crowds in on their feet at this point, Grey Fox having lost control, the match boiling over. Kanyon pulls Kutterman to the outside, going to whip him into the barrier, but Kutterman reverses it, sending Kanyon into the steel instead. Meanwhile, Apolo climbs back onto the apron and into the ring, turning as Kutterman climbs back up and tags him in. Kutterman enters the ring as Seraph tags out to Dar, who comes into the ring as Kutterman does, the two men staring each other down from opposite corners. Iron suddenly attacks Dar from behind, however, knocking him down to the mat and letting loose the chaos all over again, Seraph coming into the ring as well as Apolo. Dar tries to defend himself against both Kutterman and Iron while Seraph tries to fend off Apolo, but Kanyon is back in at this point, coming up behind Iron and catching him with a Springboard Dropkick! Iron goes down to the mat, clutching the back of his head as Dar turns and throws Kutterman out through the ropes, Seraph knocking Apolo back into Dar with a well-placed kick, allowing Dar to turn him around and lift him up for a Powerbomb! Dar holds on to Apolo's legs, though, lifting him back up for another Powrbomb as HALO run across the ring, bouncing off the ropes as Dar slowly lifts Apolo back up a third time, the crowd getting up on their feet as HALO run up past Dar and springboard off the ropes, flipping backwards to grab Apolo's head, all three men slamming him down in the ARCHETYPE BOMB!!! Apolo isn't the legal man, however, and HALO turn around right into a DOUBLE IRON MAN SLAM!!!

Kutterman grabs Dar from behind, whipping him into the ropes before Iron catches him with another IRON MAN SLAM!!! Iron then lifts Dar up onto his shoulders in an Electric Chair position while Kutterman climbs up onto the top rope, jumping forward and nailing a Clothesline as Iron falls back in an Electric Chair Drop, hitting the HATE KREW BUSTER!!! Iron rolls out of the ring as Kutterman lifts Dar back up, pulling him forward into the FINAL DESTINATION!!! Kutterman then quickly rolls over for a cover. "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!"

The crowd boos and jeers heavily as "This Is Now" starts up. "Here are your winners...THE GENERATION OF LEGENDS!!!" Kutterman stands up, looking down at Dar with a wild grin on his face, seeing that he had just pinned the man that he was going to face for the title next week. Apolo and Iron get up and enter the ring, smirking down at their fallen opponent, but HALO suddenly come at GoL, trying to attack them and catch them off guard. It becomes a three-on-one brawl, but this suddenly all breaks down as the Nozakis hop the crowd barrier and into the ring while Nature runs down the entrance ramp. Soon enough, Legacy of Destruction and Divine Pain are there too, a huge brawl initiating inside the ring between all the members of the six-way tag title match at ToG II. Finally, Dar and Kutterman just get thrown out of the ring due to not having an issue in this match, the two of them getting up slowly and staring each other down as security runs down to the ring to break up the brawl and we cut to a commercial.
