Welcome to Gaia! ::

"The following match is scheduled for one fall." Vic Cross, announces as he exits the ring. Just as he does, the crowd starts in cheers very excited as the ME of Madness was about to begin and suddenly...

SO YOU WANA BE A ROCK SUPERSTAR!?

The crowd quickly starts in cheers as they hear the familiar theme of Rock Superstar. Just then the rev of a bike engine is heard before Shadow enters on his custom Ducati. Pyros shoot everywhere along the entrance ramp as his theme continues to blare through the arena. He races down the ramp with a huge smile for the crowd. He seemed very confident as if this was not a match at all. Then the voice of Vic Cross takes up again.

"First making his way to the ring, weighing in at 253lbs and standing 6'4" tall,... Shadow!"
By this time, Shadow had reached the ring but remained on his Ducati. Then he rode a couple of laps around the ring, getting the crowd pumped up before stopping his bike and climbing into the ring. After doing so, Shadow raises his arm to the crowd before stretching against the ropes. Then.. Rock Superstar slowly fades away as suddenly, the loud sound of an amplifier malfunctioning takes the Barton Arena. All attention is grabbed to the entrance when a guitar riff slowly starts to play.

"ONE OF A KIND!"

The crowd simply explodes into cheers, knowing very well who this themesong belonged too. The lyrics of the song where barely heard over the loud claps and cheers from the crowd.Then suddenly two golden pyrotechnics were shot from either side of the aisle, forming a thick X in the middle. As the pyros were shot, they left behind a thick golden mist trail that engulfed the whole entrance aisle. Nothing could be seen clear as the song continues on the sound system. By now, a tall figure was seen making his way from the back. Despite the thick mist disabled any clear view, the outline of this figure was still evident. He had his hands down to the side and he walked up right to the middle of the aisle before stopping. But now, the fog slowly begins to fade out as the song continues on. The fog thins out the figure standing before comes into clear view. Knowing all to well who this figure is, the crowd continues to cheer. Then, Rocky lifted his head up and grinned towards the crowd. His brown hair was spiked up and his goatee was shaved. Even his signature shades were missing. But one thing remained the same and that was his trademark grin. He wore his black 'Target:Kutterman' shirt. Infact, many of the crowd had just purchased this new BTWF merchandise from BTWF ShopZone and were wearing it. Rocky also wore a golden necklace with a diamond shaped pendant. Below, he wore a black track pants with two parallel whote lines running along the side and a pair of black boots.

"And his opponent, weighing in at 240 lbs and standing 6'4" tall,... Rocky!" The intensity of the crowd increases as Rocky begins to walk his way down to the ring. Soon enough, he reached the ring and slid underneath the bottom rope. After doing so, he obeyed his past rules as he quickly climbed up the far east turnbuckles and raised his arms for the crowd. After doing so, One of a Kind by Breaking Point slowly fades away. Then, Rocky bounces off and then turns to his opponent. Both Shadow and Rocky finally stare eachother down.

Hartman: Here we go! This should be daaamn good. We have One of a Kind, Rocky coming back from his return to face the Original Legend of Shadows, Shadow!
Sharpton: Meh. Despite these two being faces, this should be good.

Then Referee Joe Schmoe finally gives the call for this match to officially get underway.
DING DING DING!

Despite the ring of the bell, the two continue to stare eachother down. Then finally, they begin to circle around the ring before locking in a classic Collar Elbow tie-up. They were pretty evenly matched out as neither side could efficently get the win. Then Shadow having a slight weight advantage, pushes harder at Rocky, hoping to corner him against the turnbuckle. But as Shadow was pushing so hard, Rocky sidesteps causing Shadow to double forward, hoping to keep his balance. Rocky gets behind and hits a Salto Suplex. It doesn't keep either side down for long as both Shadow and Rocky get up at the same time. Shadow goes for a clothesline, but Rocky ducks this one as well. Instead he locks in a waistlock. But Shadow assuming Rocky was about to go for a German, quickly swung his elbow towards Rocky's head. Rocky however, expected this and moved his head only back to dodge his elbow. With the swing missing, this caused Shadow to turn towards Rocky facing him. Rocky immediatly takes the offense with a Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex. Once again Shadow doesn't stay down long as he gets up almost as fase as he was thrown. By the time, Rocky turned to face Shadow, Shadow was running towards him with a Clothesline. Rocky was prepared as he caught that arm and brought him down in a Armbar Takedown. With Shadow down face first, Rocky hooks Shadow's face and then turns to his right therefore pulling Shadow into a pin.
1.. Shadow kicks out.

Hartman: Woo! We got off to a lightning start with Rocky taking the offense.
Sharpton: Yep. Seems as if Shadow can't get his arms on Rocky long enough to hit a move.

Rocky gets off quickly and looks towards Shadow with a smirk. Rocky's smirk was as if he expected Shadow to kick out and wanted that. As Shadow got up, he was more serious than before. He knew he had to try harder if he planned on taking Rocky down. After shaking the cobwebs, Shadow meets Rocky in the middle of the ring where they once again circle. And they lock again in a collar elbow tie-up. Both competiters put up a bit of a fight before Rocky slips in a waistlock on Shadow again. This time though, Shadow expects it though as he turns to his side with the waistlock on and lifts Rocky over his shoulder before hitting a modified Body Slam. As soon as Rocky gets up, Shadow is quick to respond with a DDT. Shadow then follows it up with a Headlock. Rocky still has the speed as he reached back with his arms and grabbed Shadow's feet. From there, he yanked on it causing Shadow to fall behind him. Rocky quickly gets to his feet still holding one of Shadow's feet and locking in a Ankle Lock. Shadow rolls to his back and kicks his way out of the submission. Shadow gets to his feet as Rocky recovers from the kick. Rocky goes for a right hand but Shadow catches it and twists it around going for a hammerlock. As he did, he got behind Rocky, and pulled hard on his hand. Rocky then with his free hand grabs Shadow around the head and takes him down in a Snap Mare takedown. Rocky then applies a Dragon Sleeper. He doesn't keep it long as he he snaps back hitting a low ground Inverted Suplex. Rocky then flips back into a Knee Drop on the back of Shadow's arm. Shadow groans at this, still face first. Rocky seems merciless as he quickly keeps Shadow down by putting on waistlock with him still facefirst and hits of a Wheelbarrow Suplex. After that Rocky gets to his feet and waits Shadow to get up. By now, Shadow was getting dazed. Rocky moves in to go on the offense but Shadow responds with a knee to the gut. He then takes down Rocky with a quick Twisting Neckbraker. With Rocky on the ground, Shadow hits an Jumping Elbow drop to the chest.Then Shadow lifts up Rocky and begins to slug away at him with right hands. Eventually, Rocky fights back striking Shadow with right hands. Shadow however stops Rocky in his tracks with a hard knee to the gut which causes Rocky to bend. Taking this as his chance, Shadow quickly pulls Rocky into a Small Package.
1..Kickout by Rocky. Despite being caught offguard Rocky kicks out.

Shadow gets up quickly followed by Rocky. Then Shadow moves in starting another slugfest. This one Shadow dominates until Shadow steps back winding for the final punch. Rocky catches his and starts an array of his own slugs to Shadow. After doing so, Rocky then goes for a Northern Lights Suplex but Shadow blocks it with his leg. Instead Shadow hits a Vertical Brainbuster. Shadow grins after doing so. He then lifts up Rocky in the middle of the ring and knees Rocky causing him to bend. After doing so, he launches himself against the ropes. As he comes back, he quickly delivers a kick to Rocky's chest. The impact runs through the arena as Shadow launches of the ropes and does it again. It connects. Shadow then gives flashes a smirk to the crowd before attempting it again! Wait! Rocky holds onto Shadow's feet and executes a Dragon Screw. Rocky then quickly turns him into a Half Boston Crab. Shadow screams in pain, totally understimating Rocky until this. Shadow then uses every bit of his strength to drag himself to the ropes and holds in. Therefore, forcing Rocky to relinquish the hold. After doing so, Rocky backs off holding his chest from Shadow's array of kicks. Shadow slowly starts to get up using the turnbuckle. Rocky goes for a crossbody but Shadow moves in the last second causing him to go face first into the turnbuckle. As he bounces back, Shadow catches him in a Inverted Facelock before hitting a Swinging Neckbraker. Shadow grins after sending Rocky crashing down on his face. He then lifts up Rocky and whips him against the parallel set of ropes. As Rocky comes back, he goes for a clothesline. Shadow ducks this and gets behind him. After doing so, Shadow quickly hits of a incredible Atomic Drop to Rocky! Rocky cringes over in pain. Taking this as his chance, Shadow quickly hits the RKO! Cover!
1..2.. Kickout by Rocky! Shadow gets up with frustration written all over his face. He was so sure that was enough to take him down but Rocky refused to quit. Then, Shadow got up to his feet and hit a Guillotine Legdrop on Rocky that kept him down. After doing so, he climbed up the turnbuckles and waved a hand over his head signalling the Shadows. Shadow then immediatly launches himself in air to hit the FIVE STAR FROGSPLAS-NO! Rocky moved away in the last second as Shadow was taunting to the crowd. Shadow came crashing down chest first on the mat. Rocky capitlazes as he lands a knee drop on Shadow's arm that he already worked on before. He then continues to target that area as he hits an Arm Breaker. Rocky pulls Shadow to his feet. He then conitinues to hold that arm as he twists it. After doing so, he elbows Shadow's arm this causing Shadow to fall back down. Rocky doesn't keep him down as he lifts him back up and whips him to the parallel ropes. As Shadow comes back, he ducks a boot from Rocky. Shadow goes to the opposite ropes and charges towards Rocky with a shoulder block. Rocky however catches him and lifts him in a HUGE Cobra Clutch Suplex! Shadow bounces of the ground from impact and arches his back.
This move affecting Shadow's shoulder and back. Rocky once again lifts up Shadow. He then applies a Hammerlock to Shadow's already injured arm and torques back on his arm applying mass pressure. Rocky yanks further causing Shadow to yell out in pain. The ref askes if Shadow wants to quit but Shadow is determined on not giving up. Then finally, Rocky untwists his arm but still holds onto it. Instead, he twists Shadow's arm the other way and brings him down in clothesline once again affecting the arm. Shadow seems knocked out at this point. Rocky then begins to climb the turnbuckle that was close. After doing so, he launches himself backwards to land a Moonsault-No! Shadow moved out of the way causing Rocky to barely stumble on his feed. Despite somehow turning himself to his feet, Rocky doubles over heavily into the diagonal turnbuckle. Shadow takes this as his chance as he slowly stumbles up to his feet. He then charges towards Rocky going for a turnbuckle Spear! It connects. Another one! Connects. And finally the third turnbuckle spear! Wait, Rocky quickly drops to a Drop Toe-Hold on Shadow. Shadow bounces of and stalls in air before falling into the shoulders of Rocky. Rocky lifts up in a Standing Fireman's Carry. From there, Rocky shifts Shadow in air, still holding his arm and lands a huge Fireman's Carry Armbreaker! Rocky landed Shadow's arm against his shoulder in a sick angle and Shadow yells out in pain. Shadow rolls on the ground, clutching his shoulder. Rocky continues to show no mercy as he lifts up Shadow holding his arm and hits a powerful Arm Wringer, slaming Shadow to the ground. Still holding his arm, Rocky quickly falls to the ground as he locks in a Cruicifix Armbar! It all seems over for Shadow now. Referee asks if Shadow wants to quit. Shadow shakes his head. The referee asks again only to get the same answer. The ref asks one more time as Shadow can't take it anymore. Before anything else can happen, the referee is pulled out of the ring! By.. BRYAN KUTTERMAN. Bryan was standing outside the ring, holding his title after pulling out the referee. Bryan smirking, immediatly slides in the ring and quickly drops his belt. Rocky takes notice of this and quickly lets go of the Armbar. Just as he is about to get up. Bryan strikes him down with right hands. He pounds Rocky for what he did to him yesterday. Rocky slowly tries to fight back but Bryan hits a thumb to the eye and continues his barage. Wait, Bryan is turned over by.. HEAT! Heat now continues to pound on Bryan with right hands! By now Shadow is up. Heat quickly takes Bryan down with a DDT. Then, Shadow and Heat lock eyes. Right in between the two friends is the Gaia Title that Bryan had dropped earlier. Both of them look down at that first then at eachother. Then suddenly the two go at it! Bryan and Rocky are up too. They also join in the grand brawl. Noticing the chaos in the ring, out comes the BTWF Security lead by noneother than Jack Frost. They quickly enter their ring and try their best to hold eachother back. As they security try to hold the wrestlers a certain someone makes his way at the top of the ramp. With his grin and a microphone at hand, stands the BTWF Owner Brian Blade.

"Ladies, ladies, ladies..." Blade begins as he looks between the four, "I've got to say that this is quite the entertaining affair you've got going on. I mean, Heat's cheating on Shadow with Rocky while he's away, and they both hate Kutterman for being with the title. This has to be the best episode of As The Gaia Turns ever..." Blade has a chuckle at his own bad joke as security continues to hold all four men apart.

Blade then looks at them and sighs, "However, like all things, this saga has an end... and that end will be Friday, December 10th, as it will be Shadow Starr vs. The Heat vs. Rocky vs. Bryan Kutterman in a Fatal Four Way for the Gaia Championship!" The crowd likes that little announcement, with Kutterman shaking his head profusely at it.

Blade just continues to stand there, smiling and laughing like he always does, "Now, some of you may come to my office and complain about this little match, and you're welcome to do that as long as you don't disturb my nap while doing so. In other words, Sorry Bout Your Damn Luck, because Blade hath spoken, and as you know, my word is the law and all that cool stuff people in charge say. Have fun boys..."

With that, Blade exits the stage, and all 4 men glare at each other as we... Fade... To... Black.

Voice:
Ok, here we go...
Just 6 days removed from Mutual Annihilation where we had an ironic twist of fate befall our newly crowned TV Champion and his manager, at the hands of the returning Jaice Wilds.

Headhunter:
Mmhmm. Voorhees lost so much blood, I'm not even sure he realised what happened til he woke up in the hospital.

Voice:
Well, our Boss, Brian Blade has made a match between Voorhees and The Faction's newest member, Eclipse.
And it's for the Television Championship.

Headhunter:
This is not fair in my opinion. Voorhees is in no condition to be fighting, it's just unf--

[The lights cut off through the arena, and the Durem crowd goes nuts]

--Uh Oh...

GONG!!

[The arena waits for Down With The Sickness to call out through the arena, the fans of Voorhees chanting his name when suddenly the lights raise. The crowd starts booing at this when all of a sudden "Wisconsin Death Trip" by Static-X palys throughout the arena]

Voice:
Um, that's Blade's music, right?

Headhunter:
Yup. I wonder what's going on....

[Brain Blade makes his way down the ramp, with a briefcase in his hand as he gets into the ring and calls for a mic. A stagehand tosses him one. The crowd is unsure what to make of Blade's appearence, so they shut up and listen as Blade speaks and the music dies down]

Blade:
Well well well, nice to see this place has learned to respect people like me since our last visit to the Durem arena. Now quiet down, I have some business to address, and the business is this!

[He holds up the briefcase, the crowd still not all that sure what's going on]

Blade:
Well, as you know...
At Mutual Annihilation, we crowned a new Television Champion in the guise of Anthony Voorhees

[The crowd cheers at the mention of Voorhees' name]

Blade:
Shut up, I'm not done!
Now as he was crowned, Jaice Wilds came back that night and ruined Voorhees Title celebration, by taking out Voorhees AND his manager Hika Lai and using a nail-gun to seal them both inside the casket that originally held Makuta...

[The crowd boos at this]

Blade:
I said be quiet!
God, Voorhees was right, you people are just sheep!!!

Anyway...
So tonight I had booked a match for the Television Title between Anthony Voorhees and Eclipse, when yesterday I suddenly realised...

Voorhees CANNOT defend the Title tonight!!

[Once again the crowd boos]

Blade:
Look, don't blame me. Voorhees cannot comply with the TV Title rules...
And therefore cannot defend the Title tonight...
But, don't get your panties in a bunch Durem. I do still have something for you.

Eclipse! Please come out to the ring!!

[Light slowly fade as the opening to "Long Hard Road" plays, the light flicker until the chorus hits, then as soon as the tempo picks up "Who ever said Forever could ever hurt like this!!" there's a massive pyro explosion with Eclipse standing in the middle of it as it stops, the light still out, he heads to the ring and climbs in and stands in the center, watching the entrance ramp coldly, pacing like a caged lion then the music stops. He turns to face Blade and shakes his hand]

Eclipse:
I was supposed to have a match with that punk, Voorhees.
But Jaice killed him at MA, locking him in an airtight casket.
So why am I here?

Blade:
Well, ya see, the thing about that is...
Voorhees at the moment is unable to comply with the specific rules of the TV Title, and therefore has been STRIPPED of the BTWF Television Title!!!!

[A huge smile comes across Eclipse's face as he laughs tauntingly at the sky. The crowd is booing this immensly, but Eclipse is too caught up to care, and Blade, well he just shrugged his shoulders]

Eclipse:
You're serious?
Voorhees has been stripped of the Title!?

Blade:
I'm afraid so.
You see, the Television Title MUST be defended each week by it's owner.
And after what the "heart and soul" of your faction did to Voorhees at Mutual Annihilation...
Anthony Voorhees cannot fulfil his obligations as Champion and therefore the Title has been forfeited.

And that brings me to you Eclipse.

Eclipse:
Me?

Blade:
Yes, you! What is this mic not on?

[He sets the briefcase on a turnbuckle and opens it as Eclipse looks on. Blade removes from his briefcase, the BTWF Television Title, all shiny and new looking. He looks at Eclipse and puts the mic to his lips.]

Blade:
The "winner" of this "match" by "forfeit",
And "new" BTWF Television Champion....
ECLIPSE!!!

[Despite Blade's sarcasm, Eclipse took the belt happily. As far as he knew, he had just brought one home for the team regradless of how he'd won it. The crowd began booing and jeering loudly]

Crowd:
a*****e! a*****e!!

[Eclipse climbs a turnbuckle, lifting the title high into the air, he got off the buckle and turned, facing Blade, who had a grin on his face]

Eclipse:
Um, what's so funny?

[The lights went out]

GONG!!

[The crowd began cheering as Eclipse looked around him slightly paranoid, Blade still grinning. Four lightning bolts struck each turnbuckle, as the DDD lit up showeing burning buildings, Eclipse's involvement at Mutual Annihilation, then cut to the picture of an empty cross with Eclipse's name engraved into it. A shilouette of Voorhees wearing the TV title apperaed on screen, along with the words "Rest In Peace". The lights raise and Blade has the mic in his hands as Eclipse starts looking around the arena from the ramp to the rafters]

GONG!!

Blade:
Now, Voorhees may not be able to DEFEND his Title, but that doesn't mean he still can't CHALLENGE for it.
And to be honest, I'm not even sure when he will be back, but I have granted a match for him against you when he does return.

[The crowd raises into a loud cheer, as Eclipse's jaw has just dropped out of his skull]

Blade:
So, enjoy that Title Eclipse, and let's hope some other unlucky soul has it.
Because you are part of The Faction, and if I know Voorhees...
Then the Faction will be first on his hit list when he gets back.
Then, it will be the Title he says is his...

Anyways, Eclipse,
See ya around, I have a company to run, kiddo.

[Blade gets out of the ring, "Wisconsin Death Trip" by Static-X plays throughout the arena once more as Blade heads up the ramp. Eclipse still looking around him in paranoia]

Voice:
Oh My God!
6 Days removed from Mutual Annihilation and we already have a new TV Champion!!

Headhunter:
Yeah, by forfeit...
Damn stupid Title rules...
Voorhees was screwed!!!

Voice:
Well, there's not much we can do about it.
That's Brian's decision and that's final.
But ya gotta ask Voorhees.
After all he went through for that title...
Was it worth it to be stripped of it 6 days later?

Headhunter:
He'll be back and he will prove why he deserves that Title.

The Durem Arena is going nuts having the BTWF back. They have had a great time over the past few matches and are ready for the next show.

The Voice: Well, this next match should be rather interesting, James.

Headhunter: I'll say, Vic. The Original Legend of Shadows against his former adversary's manager Ravena. How will this match go down?

The Voice: Well, after Mutual Annihilation things aren't looking up for Shadow...

SO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK SUPERSTAR?!

Victor Cross: Now entering the ring, weighing in at 253 lbs, he is the Original Legend of Shadows, Shadow Starr!!

The arena fills wit jeers as Shadow Starr enters on his custom ducati, pyros shooting off down the entrance ramp and in the ring. He rides down to and around the ring a few times before entering, mic in hand.

Shadow: Now, before my opponent is introduced, I'd like to say something. Blade, I don't know why you put me up against a female. But here's the thing. Ravena, I've seen your matches and I know you're good. So in the spirit of good sportsmanship, I'm going to wrestle you with all my energies anyways. So now, let's go. Introducing my opponent...

Painted Black hits the arena and the crowd goes nuts. Ravena enters and waves to the crowd, walking down to the ring. She stares at Shadow with a mean look in her eyes.

Shadow: Weighing in at 160 lbs, MY opponent, Ravena!!

Ravena enters the ring and Shadow throws the mic back to the tech people. He turns back and extends a hand, gesturing to Ravena that this is just one match, no hard feelings afterwards. Ravena extends her arm, but does not take Shadow's hand as she puts him in an armbar, and Jackie Kiddo calls for the bell.

The Voice: Look at this!! Shadow loses an oppertunity to take the Gaia Championship at Mutual Annihilation, and now he gets no respect from Ravena.

Headhunter: She's the manager of his former adversary! I mean, did you REALLY expect her to shake his hand?

The Voice: Well, it wouldn't have hurt...

Ravena keeps Shadow in an armbar and forces him to the ground. Shadow refuses to give up, reaching out for a rope. Ravena pulls him to the center of the ring. Shadow uses this movement to get to his feet and flip over, reversing into an armbar on Ravena. Shadow irish whis Ravena into the ropes and runs for the opposite ropes, bouncing off and going for a clothesline. Ravena ducks, Shadow stops and turns around right into a springboard dropkick. Ravena takes the cover.

1... tw... kick-out by Shadow.

Ravena, knowing she has the upper hand, gets up and waits for Shadow to rise. As Shadow gets up, Ravena charges for a clothesline, but Shadow makes a side step and Ravena hits the ropes. She turns around, getting a big boot from Shadow.

The Voice: Ooo, that's GOT to hurt.

Headhunter: Agreed, Vic, that guy is more than twice her size... his boot probably weighs as much as she does.

Ravena sits up on the mat, holding her head. Shadow sees this injury and decides he can end the match early, crouching a little and waves his hand across his face. The crowd jeers, knowing what's coming next... Ravena gets up and Shadow charges. Ravena turns around and Shadow connects... NO!! Ravena sees the Shadow Slam coming and ducks, Shadow grabbing air and landing on the mat. Shadow bounces off a little and grabs his back, and Ravena heads for a turnbuckle.

The Voice: Okay, this I'm not getting.

Headhunter: What is Ravena doing?

Ravena settles on the top turnbuckle and waits for Shadow to get up. Just as Shadow gets to his feet, Ravena jumps, connecting a huge dropkick to Shadow!! Shadow goes down, knocked out cold from the blow. Ravena gets up and plays to the crowd, the fans roaring.

The Voice: What a move by Ravena!!

Headhunter: I never saw that coming!! And now Ravena can take the match!!

Ravena heads over to Shadow and stands above him... AND SHADOW ROLLS HER UP!!!

1... 2... kick-out by Ravena.

The Voice: SHADOW WAS PLAYING POSSUM!! SHADOW PLAYED POSSUM!!!

Headhunter: Wow!! Shadow manages to keep his composure long enough to fake a knock-out and put Ravena in a roll-up pin! What a great maneuver from this veteran!!

The Voice: But can he keep it up?

Ravena gets up, confused and shocked at Shadow's quick thinking and reaction. Shadow gets up and laughs at Ravena, telling her she's ding good but not good enough. Shadow walks over to Ravena and extends a hand, but Ravena just stares. She tries for another armbar, but Shadow has her scouted and draws back his arm, shooting it back out to lock in Ravena with an armbar. Ravena lets out a small cry but keeps her cool, knowing that this was probably not an easy match to start with. Shadow starts moving for the turnbuckle, keeping the armbar locked in.

The Voice: Aw, come on, Shadow!! This is just not right!!

Headhunter: What are you talking about, Vic?

The Voice: Shadow is OBVIOUSLY using a move he's made against Frost in his return match. I mean, Ravena isn't even half his size and he's going to use a move like that!! What kind of sick man is he?

Headhunter: A man who knows that Darson Grays could be out here any second to help Ravena with a double-team, maybe?

The Voice: Oh.

Shadow gets to the top turnbuckle and stands on the ropes, walking across and jumps off, conecting the Old School. Ravena goes down n the mat, holding her arm in pain. Shadow grins looking to the entrance ramp.

The Voice: What is he doing? Waiting for Heat?

Headhunter: No, more than likely Dars.

The Voice: Hmm...

Shadow looks away from the ramp and back to Ravena. He tells her that it looks like Dars won't be showing up to help her, so to go on would be hard for her. She refuses to give up, knowing she can find some way to defeat Shadow regardless. She gets to her feet and charges at Shadow. Shadow dodges and turns around, getting a springboard cross-body from Ravena. Shadow falls back and Ravena rolls over, getting back to her feet. She heads for the ropes again and hits another cross-body as Shadow gets up. She heads for a third but is caught, Shadow throwing her for a samoan drop and taking the cover.

1... 2... miraculuous kick-out by Ravena.

Shadow gets up and heads for the other side of the ring, crouching down into spear position. He waves his hand over his face and charges as Ravena gets up, CONNECTING THE SHADOW SLAM as she turns around!! Shadow takes the cover.

1... 2... THREE!!!

Shadow blinks and sits up, looking around with a slightly confused look on his face. The crowd jeers mildly, not really disappointed with the outcome of the match, but not very big fans of Shadow either. Suddenly, "Rock Superstar" stops and the crowd turns toward the entrance ramp, a collective gasp coming from the fans as none other than the X Factor himself, Darson Grays, emerges from the curtain, dressed in his normal backstage attire of a pair of dark blue jeans, beat-up sneakers and the signature black BTWF hoodie. Dar has a mic in his hand, and he brings that up, the crowd mostly staying silent. "Shadow, Shadow, Shadow...Do you really think I'm the type of person that would interfere with a match when there's really no reason for me to do so? Shadow, you're under the impression that we still have a feud, and that's just not true. That feud ended after ToG, where I won the tournament, and you got destroyed by Frost. Granted, you've since beat him and got your revenge, but does that mean you've earned the right to be in my league? NO." The fans actually cheer this, agreeing with Dar, unlike the fans at the Barton Arena, who would probably be in a state of turmoil with the Dar fans going agaisnt the Shadow fans. Dar lets the cheering go on for a moment before continuing.

"Shadow, I've had three, count 'em, THREE BTWF World Heavyweight Championship shots. What have you got? ONE Gaia title shot. You're not in my league, man. So don't go thinking that a final ending to a feud that never was is going to be coming anytime soon. And another thing; you were actually expecting me to come down here and interfere with this match, just because Ravena is my girlfriend? Shadow, that's not me. I only interfere with matches when it works to my agenda. Case in point: Mutual Annihilation. A lot of people are still wondering why I interfered with the Gaia title match, and I'm going to explain that now. You see, the Gaia title on Bryan Kutterman was a joke. Since Twist dropped that belt to pursue higher ambitions, that championship has become nothing more than a chunk of metal. And there was only one person in the Gaia division who could restore that championship to its former glory. That man was Rocky. And when I saw that Kutterman was going to win simply because he had two gorillas working for him, I decided to change things for the better. Seraph and Kanyon wanted to help, as did Ravena. And the rest is history. Rocky is Gaia champion, and all is right with the world...Or rather, almost everything."

Dar smirks, beginning to walk slowly down the ramp. "You see, while the situation with the Gaia title has been corrected, there are still unforgiveable occurences going on right now. By that, I mean the situation saying that Seraph and Kanyon are no longer the tag champs, and the fact that I'm not the World Heavyweight Champion. I can assure you, however, that both of those things will be taken care of soon enough." Dar drops the mic, then rolls into the ring, Shadow stepping back a bit as if he expected a fight. Dar calmly walks by, however, crouching down and lending a hand to Ravena, helping her up. Ravena shoots a frustrated glare at Shadow, obviously disappointed at losing the match, but she exits the ring with Dar as they start back up the ramp, "Rock Superstar" once again coming over the loudspeakers, the two disappearing behind the curtains and leaving Shadow in the ring.

OOC: Sorry for the lateness again, but I hope its better late than never

The fans all over the arena are buzzing over the last match, and Victor Cross happens to be in the ring, tossing out BTWF shirts into the audience. Some of the crowd is getting bored, since Victor has passed there section, but there attention is caught by the Durem Digital Display as the letters "CNN" appear on it. The buzzing starts up again, as fans begin to question one another, wondering what those letters stand for, and quite frankly, what is going on. "See You At the Show" starts to play and the fans start to understand, and they cheer loudly, but jeers rise up as well, as the acronym unfolds showing that it stands for the Conner's News Network. CNN fades to a smiling Maxwell, shown sitting on a lush leather couch, with his right foot being in a cast lying on the table directly in front of him. The fans cheer's die down slightly, hoping to see Conners in person, but still are loud with appreciation, but that can barely be heard over some of the boos.

"You know, as you guys can see, yours truly isn't in a that of a great predicament. Lets just say that this past month hasn't been that great for your favorite heartbreaker." The fans stay silent, and seem to be in some kind of awe, hearing Maxwell speak for the first time in an eternity. "First off, despite putting on my best match of my life against Big Daddy...." The fans cheer slightly at this name. ".......I lost it. And a just a couple weeks later, still feeling the effects of that Texas Execution Death Match, I get jumped by Kage.....and Big Daddy. Here, let me show you guys a little reminder."

*The Bartron fades to the interview segment from a few weeks ago......*

The Voice- Do we really need to see this again? This was absolutely merciless.
Headhunter- Which is exactly why they should show it Vic.



The camera fades back to a smirking Conners, who happens to be shaking his head as well. "I have seen that tape over a million times, while recuperating here. And everytime I see that, I have no idea how I survived it. I mean, lets face it, my career was in jeopardy after being jumped like that. These weeks since then have been hell to me. And not in the way you guys would probably think......" Conners smirks to himself and the fans begin buzzing again, curious of what Conners has to say. "Sure, my leg suffered another sprain, which put me out, and hurts every morning that I wake up, but whenever I think of the Barton Town Wrestling Federation, whenever I think of that rush whenever I go to the ring, whenever I think of you, the fans, I forget about that pain. But this brings me another pain. This brings me longing. Longing to get back into that ring, and to be back there with all my heartbreakers." Conners smiles at the camera and the fans give him more of a mixed reaction: appreciation and cheers, yet still some genuine dislike by boos.

"And thats why I promise, that despite the hell that I am going through, I will come back, 100% ready to get my revenge on the two men that wanted to end my career: Raymond Kage...." the name gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. "........and Big Daddy." The fans cheer slightly, but some boos begin to creep up. "You see, being out of action has allowed me to observe Big Daddy, and I applaud you. You're surronding yourself with some great talent in Kage and the Demon." Fans begin to buzz again, not sure if they should applaud Maxwell for praising there heroes.

"You did it because you know that you are a wanted man, Big Daddy. You know that despite you being the number one man in this industry, that without help, you could easily be taken down, just like I was. There is power in numbers Big Daddy, and I applaud you for realizing that. But you do realize that no matter how much help you can get, no matter how much you can put me back, Maxwell Conners will always be back, better than before, looking for some revenge. But now, I can deal with setting aside our little fiasco." The fans are still curious to what Conners has to say. ".....You know why? You aren't the one who put me through that table Big Daddy. Me and you go far back Big Daddy. Theres some hatred between us. But for now, I have other sights. And that sight just happens to be Raymond Kage."

The fans cheer slightly at this, but the jeers start up again at the threat of one of there favorite wrestlers. "So, Big Daddy, you tell your little lackey that he better gear up for when Maxwell Conners comes back, because he is my new number one target. You tell him that he better watch his own back, instead of yours." Maxwell gets a serious look for a second, before smirking again. "You tell him that this time, payback isn't a b***h. No, no my friends, payback is necessary."

With that, Maxwell smirks and we fade to black, but out of the darkness, letters appear to be surfacing from it. As the letters become clearer, the people begin to buzz, some with anticipation, some with distaste. It reads "HBK is Coming.......Soon."

The Voice- Well Jim, Conners isn't dead, and he is coming back. Sorry to disappoint you.
Headhunter- Ah shut it Vic. Conners is one of my favorite wrestlers......he always loses when I need him to.
The Voice- Regardless of his past matches, Conners seems to be a man on a mission. We don't know when he'll be back, but all I can say is that Kage better watch himself.
Headhunter- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure Conners has to be pissed for what Kage and Big Daddy did to him. But c'mon Vic, do you actually think that Conners can accomplish this so called mission? I doubt Big Daddy, Demon, and Kage will let it happen.
The Voice- Ah, Jim, only time can tell.

With that, the camera fades back to the Bartron which still reads that HBK will be coming back, which starts to fade.......to........darkness...

Victor Cross enters the ring, the crowd cheering for a few moments beforehand, psyched for this main event. Victor Cross brings his mic up and the crowd calms down. "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and the winner will face Omega for the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship at Madness:Night of Champions III! The loser will face Rocky for the Gaia Championship in the same night."

"Out of the Mud" by Sutterfly hits and the crowd pops, not having heard this entrance theme before, but figuring it was Kage. The lights in the arena dim down to a dark blue, and suddenly, flames shoot up off the entrance ramp, revealing Kage behind them, the crowd's suspicicions confirmed. Kage bangs his head to the beat of the song for a few moments as he points up, then starts down the ramp toward the ring. "Introducing first, from London, England, weighing in at 246 lbs., he is the "Rage in the Cage"...Raymond Kage!" The crowd cheers loudly as Kage makes his way down the entrance ramp, his nose taped up, obviously a little messed up from the Double Chair VanTerminator he received at Mutual Annihilation. Kage rolls under the bottom rope into the ring, pulling off his jacket and shirt and tossing them outside, stretching his neck out and watching the entrance ramp as his theme fades out.

Instead, it's replaced by a pair of tiger eyes as the crowd begins to boo, the heel fans of Durem getting their jeers ready as "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor hits, the quick strums of the guitar leading the drums and tambourine into the song. TT appears at the top of the ramp, the crowd booing even louder, black and orange Pyro shooting off to either side of him.

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive...

"And his opponent, from Tiger, Washington, weighing in at 215 lbs., he is the King of the Cage...The Tiger!" TT narrows his eyes out at the crowd, and then walks down the ramp, looking at the signboards that the fans have created. His golden orbs stop upon one denouncing him as a kitten, and he shakes his head, continuing down to the ring.

So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive...

It's the Eye of the Tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the Eye...of the Tiger

He runs to the ring, orange and black pyro shooting off in front of him as he runs through them. Reaching the ring he climbs the ropes and stands on the middle rope and raises his arms as orange pyro shoots out of the right turnbuckle and black pyro shoots out the left and then he points at his opponent and enters the ring. He crosses over to a turnbuckle and points at Kage, the crowd booing as Kage smirks. He hops off twisting in the air and landing on his feet looking over at Kage, ready to get it on.

James "Headhunter" Sharpton: Heh, so we've got the Rage in the Kage and the King of the Cage going up against each other. That's a bit melodramatic.

Vic "The Voice" Hartman: Oh shut up.

Joe Schmoe asks both men if they're ready, receiving a nod from both, then steps back and calls for the bell. "DING DING DING!!!" Kage and TT lock up right away, each one fighting each other for control of the grapple. Kage gets control with his strength advantage, pushing TT back toward the ropes. TT decides to break out of the grapple, swiftly moving behind Kage and pulling him into a Waistlock. TT goes for a German Suplex, but Kage plants his feet, turning and elbowing TT in the temple hard. TT stumbles back and breaks the move, clutching the side of his head for a moment, and Kage quickly runs forward, jumping up and grabbing the back of TT's head, pulling him down for a Bulldog. TT rolls over onto his back and clutches his face, but stands up and shakes off the pain quickly, turning to see Kage running forward in an attempt of a Rising Knee Strike. TT quickly takes Kage out of the air with a Clothesline, knocking Kage down hard on his back. TT quickly follows with a Leg Drop right onto Kage's neck. TT then picks Kage up, whipping him into the ropes and picking him up as he comes back, hitting an Elevated Back Body Drop, Kage once again slamming down into the mat. TT runs over to a set of ropes to the side of Kage, bouncing off of them and running forward, dropping to the ground into a somersault and hitting a Rolling Thun-NO! Kage brings his knee up and TT lands with his back right on it, sending a wave of pain through his spine. Kage moves out of the way and stands up, coming over to TT and kicking him over onto his stomach, then repeatedly begins to stomp down on TT's lower back, laughing maniacally. Joe pushes Kage away, however, chiding him for his unsportsmanlike tactics. TT places a hand on his back, cringing a bit, but stands up after a few moments, shaking the pain off. Kage runs forward once again and tries to hit TT from behind, but TT suddenly falls and hits a Drop Toe-Hold, Kage landing with his upper body splayed out on the middle rope. TT runs across the ring and bounces off the ropes, coming back and hitting a Rocking Horse Splash to Kage, pushing Kage's upper body down into the rope. Kage rolls off and clutches his chest, only to have his leg hooked for an early pin. "1...2" Kage kicks out right at the two to cheers from the crowd.

TT grabs Kage and picks him up, pulling him into another grapple, winning this time due to the pain he's put on Kage, pulling Kage into a Front Facelock and grabbing his pants, flipping him over into a Snap Suplex. The crowd boos as TT swings his legs out and pulls Kage back up into a standing position, hitting another Snap Suplex. TT swings his legs out one more time and stands up, hitting a third Snap Suplex to a huge amount of jeers from the crowd. Kage arches his back on the mat, cringing with pain, still pretty injured from the devastating Capitol Punishment match last week. TT grabs Kage and lifts him up again, this time jumping up to hit a Hurricarana, but Kage grabs TT's legs and sticks his foot out behind TT to prevent TT from getting enough momentum to flip him. Kage then swings TT upward, pulling TT down and slamming him into the mat in a huge Powerbomb. The crowd cheers loudly at this, and Kage just smirks, grabbing TT and lifting him up onto his shoulders, grabbing TT's neck and leg and wrenching down, locking in a Torture Rack. The crowd cheers this, Joe moving over and asking TT every few seconds if he wants to submit. TT shakes his head each time, trying to pull out of the move, but Kage keeps it locked in. Finally, after a minute or so of the move locked in, Kage decides to break it, lifting TT up and slamming his back down onto his knee in a Backbreaker! The crowd cheers this as well, and Kage pushes TT off his knee, TT landing limply on his stomach. Kage steps over TT's back, then locks TT's arms over his legs before grabbing TT under the chin and pulling him back in a Camel Clutch. TT squeezes his eyes shut with pain, trying to shift his arms off Kage's legs to get some leverage, but he can't shift them forward far enough. Joe once again starts the repeated askings of TT, wanting to know if he wants to tap out. TT shakes his head as well as he can each time. Finally, Kage breaks the move out of sheer annoyance, standing up and moving off, watching TT attentively.

Sharpton: Why the hell is Kage backing off?! He should be taking it to TT right now!

Hartman: This is unlike Kage...

TT slowly gets up, rubbing his neck and turning to face Kage, seeming to be a bit confused at Kage not immediately attacking him. Kage smirks, slowly beginning to circle TT. TT watches Kage, turning on his heel to keep the deranged one in sight. Kage suddenly steps forward and TT tenses his body, ready to counter, but Kage slides back to his former distance, smirking wider at TT. TT glares at Kage, obviously rather annoyed at having been faked out, the crowd "ooooo"ing, laughing at TT. TT finally gets tired of waiting, coming forward with a quick Roundhouse Kick towards Kage's head. Kage ducks, grabbing TT from behind and slipping his arms under his, attemping to lock in a Full Nelson, but TT quickly slips down to the mat and slides backwards through Kage's legs, quickly standing up behind Kage as he turns around, hitting a swift kick to the gut before pulling Kage forward into a quick DDT, slamming his head down into the mat to jeers from the crowd. TT lays next to Kage, catching his breath for a moment, then stands up, looking over Kage for a moment. TT grabs Kage and lifts him up before whipping him into the turnbuckle roughly. Kage barely stays standing, leaning heavily back against the corner, wincing with pain. TT quickly runs forward and winds his body back before hitting a huge Knifehand Chop right across Kage's chest, leaving a large red mark. TT hits another, and one more before Kage slumps down into a sitting position in the corner, dazed from the harsh, stinging chops. TT backs up towards the center of the ring, then runs forward and hits a low Dropkick right into Kage's chest, slamming him back against the turnbuckle. Kage slumps out of the corner onto his stomach, but TT moves over and rolls Kage onto his back before hooking the leg for a pin. Joe slides in. "1...2..." Kage kicks out to jeers from the crowd and to a huff of frustration from TT. TT stands up and picks Kage up with him, going for another Irish Whip, but Kage reverses it, sending TT into the ropes instead. Kage grabs TT as he comes back, lifting him up into a Fallaway Slam, driving TT's back down into the mat. Kage keeps a hold on TT, however, slowly standing up while keeping TT on his shoulders, then moves TT forward into an upside down position in front of his body. Kage wraps his arms around TT's waist, then smirks before falling backwards into a sitting position and hitting a hard Sit-Down Tombstone Piledriver. TT slumps down limply to the mat, and Kage follows up with a pin. "1...2...TH-" TT weakly kicks out, Kage looking up at Joe and beginning to yell at him, insisting that that was a three count. Joe shakes his head and Kage nearly growls in frustration, standing up and picking TT up once again.

Hartman: That was a close one for TT.

Sharpton: Don't you mean a slow count from Joe Schmoe?

Hartman: Joe's count was at a perfectly normal speed, Jim.

Sharpton: Pssh...Maybe if we were in Slow Motion Land.

Hartman: ...Okay, that was just lame.

Sharpton: They hired me to call matches, not to make jokes.

Hartman: And yet you continue to do so...

Kage slams TT into a Standing Head Scissors, then hooks both of TT's arms, lifting him up and shifting him to the side, slamming him down in a Double Underhook Suplex. Kage moves over and grabs TT by the head, lifting him up and pulling him into a Dragon Sleeper. Kage kneels down and stretches TT's back out across his knee, wrenching back on TT's neck. TT tries to twist out of the submission maneuver, and manages to turn on his side, swinging his arm out with a hard punch right into Kage's stomach. Kage leans over slightly, seeming to have the breath knocked out of him, but tries to keep the move locked in. Kage hits two more punches before Kage finally breaks the move, TT turning over to stop his fall with his arms, quickly standing up and grabbing Kage's arm, twisting it around into an Armbar before Kage can recover from the punches. Kage cringes, trying to pull away, but TT twists it up into a Hammerlock before he can. TT twists his arm through Kage's, wrapping his left arm around Kage's neck, grabbing his hand with his right hand, locking in a Sleeper Hold while still keeping Kage's arm tucked behind his back with the Hammerlock. Kage tries to pull away, the pain of the Hammerlock as well as the severely reduced amount of blood flowing to his brain getting to him rather quickly. TT slowly pushes Kage down into a kneeling position, able to keep more control over Kage in this position. TT's arm slips down over Kage's neck and the move becomes a chokehold. After a few moments, Joe realizes this and forces TT to break the move, Kage slumping onto his stomach with a gasp of air, coughing from the submission, clutching his arm. TT smirks and raises his arms up, the crowd jeering him heavily. TT then reaches down and lifts Kage up, whipping him over into the corner once again. TT walks over and picks Kage up, setting him up on the top turnbuckle, but turns Kage to face toward the crowd. TT climbs up onto the middle ropes, locking in an Inverted Facelock on Kage, then lifts Kage up and throws himself backwards, falling down into a Reverse Superplex! The crowd boos as Kage's mid-section is driven down into the mat. TT rolls Kage over and hooks the leg once again, going for another pin. Joe slides in. "1...2...TH-" Once again, Kage kicks out weakly, though it looks like it took a little bit more energy to do so this time.

Hartman: Though I may not like Kage, I do have to admit that he's doing rather well for a match only one week after that brutal Capitol Punishment match at Mutual Annihilation.

Sharpton: Vic Hartman? Giving Kage praise? This must be a sign of the Apocolypse! Repent all ye sinners! REPENT!

Hartman: I don't know why I even bother...

TT looks frustrated over this kickout, picking up Kage once again, this time grabbing Kage and lifting him up for a Gutbuster, slamming Kage's stomach down onto his outstretched knee. Kage rolls off TT's knee, clutching his stomach and cringing. TT follows up with a Knee Drop right onto Kage's ribs, obviously working them over for a Tiger Pounce later in the match. TT grabs Kage and picks him up once again, but Kage suddnely knocks TT's arms away, then follows with a quick Eye Rake, TT crying out and stumbling backwards, hands over his eyes. Kage quickly reaches forward and wraps his arms around TT's waist, lifting him up and shifting him up over his shoulder a bit before jumping up in the air and falling forward, driving TT's back down into the mat with a vicious Falling Spinebuster. TT arches his back on the mat, cringing in pain, but Kage doesn't let up, grabbing TT by the neck and lifting him up, Joe starting to admonish Kage. Kage doesn't hold on for long, though, instead grabbing TT's arm and twisting it around behind his back, then lifts TT up in the Pumphandle Drop position, the crowd popping as they realize what Kage is about to do. Kage turns TT upside down, but TT quickly swings forward and grabs Kage's legs, pulling them right out from under Kage, making Kage fall backwards onto his back, TT using the momentum to flip over and trap Kage's legs under his in a bridge. Joe slides in quickly. "1...2...THR-" Kage manages to just barely kick out in time, throwing TT off of him. The crowd cheers this, but TT doesn't take the time to be frustrated, quickly running forward as Kage gets up, coming in an attempt of a Jumping Front Kick, but Kage grabs TT's foot. This doesn't stop TT, however, and the cruiserweight quickly spins to the side, using the ropes with one foot to get extra momentum and spinning around into a devastating Dragon Whip, sending Kage flying a few feet to the side to a huge amount of jeers from the crowd. Kage clutches his head and cringes, TT quickly running over and hitting a quick Fist Drop to Kage's ribs, following it up with a pin. "1...2...TH-" Kage kicks out once again to more cheers from the crowd, TT looking very angry at this point.

Hartman: TT just cannot get Kage to stay down! Even after that brutal Dragon Whip!

Sharpton: Come on, Vic! The guy won a Capitol Punishment match after getting a chair Dropkicked into his face! I think he can take one little Dragon Whip.

TT grabs Kage and picks him up once again, whipping him into the corner roughly. TT runs forward and jumps up onto the middle ropes, grabbing Kage's head and falling backwards, pushing Kage up with his feet and sending him flying backwards with a Monkey Flip! Kage lands hard on his back, and TT climbs up onto the top turnbuckle. The crowd boos immediately, thinking they're going to see a Tiger Pounce, but TT decides not to end it just yet, instead watching as Kage slowly gets up. Kage manages to stand up after a minute, and as he turns towards the corner, TT launches himself forward, flipping over and reaching toward Kage's head, grabbing Kage's head and starting to flip over and pull Kage down, attempting an Over Castle, but Kage quickly swings his arms up and locks them behind TT's, lifting him up and preventing TT from pulling him down. The crowd pops as Kage locks TT in a Crucifix position, smirking before falling forward and driving TT's head into the mat with a sick Crucifix Brainbuster! The crowd cheers even louder, but Kage doesn't pay attention, keeping TT held down in a modified Backslide Pin, Joe sliding in for the count. "1...2...TH-" TT just barely manages to kick out, Kage staring wide-eyed at Joe. Kage stands up and moves toward Joe, yelling at him, insisting that that was a three count. Joe stares Kage down, telling him that it was a two count, and that his decision is final. Just as it seems Kage is about to take a swing at Joe, TT suddenly reaches up and pulls Kage down into a SMALL PACKAGE!!! "1...2...THR-" Kage kicks out to cheers of relief from the crowd, as well as a shocked stare from TT. Kage sits up and turns around to face TT, who is still motionless in shock. Kage grins wildly, then turns and stands up, TT quickly snapping out of it, but not soon enough to get away from Kage in time. Kage quickly grabs TT by the hair, flipping him over by it in a hash Snapmare, TT cringing in pain. Kage reaches forward and locks in a Sleeper Hold, wrenching back on TT's neck and pulling to the side, hyperextending TT's neck as well as cutting off the supply of blood to his brain. TT flails his arms wildly, trying to hit Kage and break out of the maneuver, but Kage has the move tightly locked in. TT seems to be fading fast, the flailing off his arms growing weaker and weaker, and finally stopping altogether. Joe moves over and lifts TT's arm up, but Kage suddenly pulls TT away and lifts him up, turning him upside down and carrying him over to one of the corners, setting him up in the Tree of Woe position.

Hartman: I've never seen Kage use this before...

Sharpton: Hey, do you think he's setting up for the Masher?!

Hartman: Oh god, I hope not, or else this could be very bad for TT...

Kage backs up to the middle of the ring, grinning wildly toward TT, then suddenly runs forward, jumping up and bringing his leg up, slamming it down in the MASHE-NO! TT swings his body up, grabbing Kage's foot out of the air! TT locks Kage's leg in to his arm, then suddenly twists his body and tosses Kage off to the side with a somewhat sloppy, but still effective, Dragon Screw. Kage lands on his back, reaching down and clutching his knee. TT then tries to pull himself out of the Tree of Woe, finally managing to get his feet free, slumping out of the corner and standing up just as Kage does. Kage runs forward, going for a Clothesline, but TT snaps his leg out in a lighting quick Superkick, jamming his foot right up into Kage's jaw, dropping Kage to the floor to a huge amount of jeers from the crowd. TT just falls backward onto Kage in a sloppy pin, obviously tired out from this match by now. Joe slides in. "1...2...TH-" Kage just barely gets a shoulder up to a huge pop from the crowd. TT seems to be exhausted and frustrated at this point, sitting up and turning to face Kage, grabbing him and lifting him up slowly. Kage suddenly pushes TT's arms away and pushes him back before coming in with a hard Clothesline, practically making TT flip over in the air from the sheer force, TT landing on his stomach with a thud. Kage falls to all fours, breathing heavily. Kage stays in this position, but due to his line of sight, doesn't see TT get up behind him. TT slowly stands up, waiting for Kage to turn around. Kage gets up a few moments later, turning around right into a picture-perfect Dropkick, hitting Kage square in the jaw and sending him right back down to the mat. TT lays on the mat for a few moments, but slowly gets up, heading back over to the corner and climbing up onto the top turnbuckle, the crowd getting up on their feet as TT steadies himself for a few moments. Suddenly, a fan jumps the barrier and runs up the steel steps, grabbing TT's foot and pulling it out from under him, TT slipping off the turnbuckle and crashing down onto the steel steps, his head slamming into the hard metal. The man throws the hood of his sweatshirt back, revealing it to be none other than SHADY!

Hartman: It's Shady! Shady! Bah gawd, we haven't seen him since Ragnarok!

Sharpton: YES! This match is definitely going in my favor!

Joe sees this interference and immediately calls for the bell. Kage slowly sits up and stares at the timekeeper, not able to believe what just happened. Kage slowly stands up and moves outside the ring to where Shady was slamming TT's head down into the steps. Kage pushes Shady away, but the cruiserweight responds with a shove of his own, and the two begin to exchange words. Suddenly, Shady comes in with a quick right hand into the side of Kage's face, Victor Cross finally getting the ruling from the ref and stepping over near the entrance ramp to be away from the brawl. "Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner, via disqualification...The Tiger!" The crowd boos and jeers heavily at this at this, but they soon begin to cheer loudly once again as Big Daddy and Demon appear at the top of the entrance ramp! Big Daddy has a steel chair in his hand, but Demon doesn't need one, and the two quickly run down to the ring. Demon hits a hard forearm shot to the back of Shady's head, then rolls him into the ring, Big Daddy and Demon sliding in after him. Demon picks Shady up and turns him around to face Big Daddy, who comes in with a hard chair shot right into Shady's gut, making the cruiserweight fall to his knees. Big Daddy looks like he's about to follow up with a second shot to the head, but he's interrupted when two more men appear at the top of the entrance ramp, the crowd booing once again as they saw it was none other than Pay 4 Pain! Kage slides into the ring just before Victor and Money do, and as they run forward, Kage hits Victor with a boot to the gut before quickly moving to the side and hitting the LONDON LAMENT as Big Daddy drops his chair, grabbing Money at the same time as Demon and tossing the cruiserweight all the way out of the ring with a huge Back Body Drop, sending Money flying over the ropes the back of Money's knee slamming down on the top of the steel barrier to a gasp of shock from the crowd. Suddenly, a man hops the barrier from the crowd, throwing off the hood of his BTWF hoodie as he does so, the crowd booing heavily for none other than DARSON GRAYS!!!

Hartman: Darson Grays! Darson Grays! The X Factor is here, Jim!

Sharpton: What the hell?! What's he here for?

Dar slides into the ring, Big Daddy and Demon looking toward each other, but Dar runs forward before either of them can react, connecting with a huge SPEAR TO BIG DADDY!!! The crowd jeers loudly for Dar taking out one of their practical religious figures and continue their jeers as Dar turns around, throwing himself forward and taking Kage out of the air as he goes for a Rising Knee Strike with another SPEAR!!! Dar stands up and turns to see Demon running at him with an attempt of a Clothesline, but Dar sidesteps and grabs Demon around the waist, tossing him into the corner and slamming his shoulder hard right into the steel ringpost, a crack heard as the metal connects with Demon's shoulder, Demon crying out in pain as he slumps down, clutching his shoulder. Dar stands up and walks over to another corner of the ring and sets his hands on his knees, crouching down and watching as Shady gets up, the crowd cheering loudly in anticipation. Shady gets up and looks around at the three motionless (or close to) bodies around him, then turns around only to see a charging Dar, getting taken down just like all the others with a SPEAR!!! Dar stands up and looks over the four men before throwing his arms up into an X, most of the crowd responding with the middle finger. Suddenly, the lights in the arena cut out as the crowd gasps. When they come back on, the crowd gets on their feet and pops HUGE as Dar turns around only to see the two big men no one thought they would ever see again in the BTWF: THE TWINS OF DEATH!!! Xavier and XCalibur quickly hit a double boot to the gut on Dar before pulling him forward into a Double Front Facelock. The Twins lift Dar up into a Vertical Suplex position, but then walk over to where the steel chair Big Daddy had been using lays, smirking before falling backwards and driving Dar's head down into the chair with the GRAVE DIGGER DOUBLE BRAINBUSTER!!! A sickening crack is heard throughout the arena as Dar's head is smashed down into the metal before he falls limply to the mat. Xavier and XCalibur stand up, smirking down at Dar as the blood begins to flow from his head. By this time, Big Daddy and Kage have managed to pull themselves up, walking over to the corner and helping Demon up, Demon able to walk, but seeming to not be able to move his shoulder at all. The Twins turn toward the three and smirk, Big Daddy, Demon and Kage returning the grins, Demon slightly pained, as the crowd begins to speak to each other in speculative whispers, wondering what this could all mean. The two groups move together and survey the carnage left in the ring, Big Daddy standing over Dar with a huge smirk on his face as we fade...to...black.

The Crowd cheers loud as BTWF: Madness returns from a commercial break, Victor Cross stands in the center of the ring with mic in hand,
he raises it to his mouth to speak and the crowd calms down "The following contest is set for one fall for the BTWF Television Championship!"

Suddenly, the arena goes pitch black and the lights pulse red and the stage fogs up as "Church of the Machine" by Symphony X plays.Victor
Cross begins to speak once again. "On his way to the ring, standing 5' 5" weighing in at 170 lbs, The Challenger! Dark Lord!" A mixed
pop from the crowd, as they await his entrance. As the song reaches " Bow Down , In The Platinum Maze" , Dark Lord walks out of the
fog and down to the ring, there he throws off his cape and it flies backstage. Dark Lord stands in the ring, awating his opponents arrival.
Shortly after the lights come on, they go right back out and start flickering as "Long Hard Road" By Marilyn Manson starts to play, the lights
flicker in tune with the music and bass until the chorus "Who Ever Said Forever Could Ever Hurt Like This!?" There's a massive explosion of
pyro at the entrance ramp , Eclipse appears in the middle of it and heads to the ring, Victor Cross once again speaks: "Now coming to the ring,
hailing from Gambino, Gaia! Standing at a height of 6 feet 2 inches, Weighing in at 242 lbs! Representing The FactionThe Television
Champion! Eclipse!" Huge pop from the crowd. As Eclipse reaches the center of the ring, the lights come back on.

Jim Sharpton: " Hehe..This looks like it's going to be a David-and-Goliath match here tonight for our opening bout!"

Vic Hartman: "Oh Shu- Hey you've actually got a point there! Eclipse towers over Dark Lord!"

Jim Sharpton: " Only difference from the bible, I say Eclipse is gonna kick his a**! HAHA!"

Vic Hartman: " Now, you can shut up, let's just get on with the match, okay?"

Joe Schome asks if both men are ready. both glance at him and nod, he motions the for the bell.


"DING! DING!"

Eclipse and Dark Lord both move towards the center of the ring and lock up, both battling for control, suddenly, Eclipse in a show of strength
shoves Dark Lord back into the ropes, Dark Lord hits the ropes and rebounds, running back at Eclipse, attempting a flying clothesline, knocking
the big man down. Eclipse is right back on his feet as Dark Lord gets up. Eclipse waves Dark Lord on in a "Come Get Some" manner. Dark Lord
lunges at Eclipse as they lock up again, Dark Lord attempts an irish whip but Eclipse manges to grab him, swing around and suddenly snap suplex
Dark Lord hard.

Vic: "Beautiful Snap Suplex by the Champion!"
Jim: "Oh! So Now You Acknowledge him a Champion?!"
Vic:" Just Shut up and call the match! You get paid to commentate, not be a smartass!"

Dark Lord writhe on the matt in pain for a moment then Eclipse pulls him up by his hair, suddenly driving several right hands into the head of Dark Lord
as the crowd counts out the punches, each time Schmoe warns him about closed fist punches. Eclipse turns his attention to Schmoe for a moment and
Dark Lord counters with a jawbreaker using the top of his own head, Eclipse lets go and staggers back, rattling his head. Dark Lord slowly gets back up
grabs Eclipse's head and retaliates with forearm shots, suddenly Eclipse blocks it and headbutts him hard, Dark Lord drops down and rolls out of the ring,
holding his head.

Jim: "Look at Dark Lord the chicken! He bailed! HAHAH!!"
Vic: "Think you could stand against Eclipse in there?"
Jim: "Well..No.."
Vic: "Then Shut up! Before I left Dark Lord have you! I know he could kick your butt!"

Joe Schmoe starts his count out on Dark Lord, at 7, DL slides back into the ring. Eclipse is waiting on him, picks up him and drops him with a power slam
pin combo right in the center of the ring, Joe Schmoe slides in and starts to count: "1, 2 !" DL kicks out. Both men hop to their feet, DL tries another irish
whip and Eclipse reverses it, whipping him to the ropes and grabbing him, spinning around with him, slamming him hard with a spin buster. Eclipse turns to
the crowd and taunts the downed Dark Lord. DL rolsl on the mat in pain and for a moment then slowly gets back up as Eclipse returns his attention to
him, Eclipse once again picking him up by his hair. Eclipse just smiles sadistically as he sudden drops him with a DDT, picking him up again, his head still
under his arm, he motions for the Lunatic Fringe, he throws DL's arm over his shoulders and grabs the waist of his tights to lift but DL hooks his leg around
his and then throws Eclipse's arm over his shoulder and reverse it into his own suplex, he lies on the mat, breathing heavily. The suplex took alot out of both
men, Schmoe begins the double countout. Eclipse gets up first, falling and driving an elbow into DL's chest. DL screams in pain and rolls over onto his stomach
kicking his feet. Eclipse lifts DL to his knees by his hair then slaps on a sleeper hold, manhandling the Dark Lord to his feet. Joe Schmoe checks on DL then starts
to raise his hand once and it falls down, he counts "ONE!" he picks up DL's hand again, it falls again "TWO!", Schmoe counts. He goes to raise the hand a third time
this time, it stays raised, DL turns slightly, elbowing Eclipse in the stomach twice, making him break the hold, Eclipse staggers back as DL runs to the ropes, attempting a Kitchen Sink Knee, Eclipse stands back upright and runs up, knocking DL to the mat with a shoulder block, DL rolls out of the ring and Eclipse goes after him, running him down , grabbing him and tossing him into a ring post then back into the ring, climbing back in himself. Dark Lord forces himself to his knees and lowblows Eclipse as he comes close. Eclipse doubles over groaning, holding his crotch. He falls over onto his back, still holding his crotch as Dark Lord stands
back up, now pick Eclipse up by his hair, DDTing him to the mat this time. Eclipse hits hard, DL goes for the cover. Schmoe counts: "1! 2!" Eclipse kicks out and is still the first to his feet, he rattles his head.


Vic: " This match is alittle one-sided, don't you think?"
Jim:" Yeah, The Dark Lord looks like he shouldn't even have showed up!"
Vic: "I actually thought that DDT did it though"

Eclipse once again goes on the attack with a big right hand, closed fist. DL blocks it and tries to counter-punch but Eclipse grabs it and levels him with a standing
clothesline, holding onto his arm he picks him back up and levels him with another, another pick up, this time, he knocks him for a loop. WHAM!! The Dark Lord
lands on his face, cringing in pain. Eclipse walks around him, grabbing his leg and dragging his over to the closest corner, he picks him up by his hair and then he tosses DL into it with authority , mounting the turnbuckle, slamming a 10-punch into the head of the Dark Lord, the crowd counting each punch loudly; "1!! 2!! 3!! 4!! 5!! 6!! 7!! 8!! 9!! 10!!!" The champ jumps down, throwing DL onto the mat, face first. Eclipse roars loudly and taunts, recieving a huge pop from the crowd.
Then Eclipse walks over and picks up a dazed DL , slipping around behind him and slamming him down with a release-german suplex. DL cries out in pain, arching his back, cringing heavily. Eclipse goes for another cover but Dark Lord puts his boot on the bottom rope. Joe Schmoe motions to Eclipse that DL's foot is on the ropes, Eclipse grumbles and stands up, picking DL up once again. DL retaliates , landing 3 punches to Eclipse's stomach until he's axehandled over the back hard by Eclipse. Dark Lord roars in pain and cringes, holding his back. Eclipse falls and drives an elbow into DL's upper back. The Dark Lord cringes in pain and quickly rolls out of the ring and while on the apron, he rolls out onto his feet and
walks over and demands Cross get out of his chair, Cross gives him an odd look and stands up, DL glares at him, grabs the chair and folds it up , quickly sliding back into the ring with it, Eclipse moves toward him . The Dark Lord moves the chair as if he's going to hit Eclipse over the head, fakes when he sees Eclipse readying to block it, slamming the top edge of the chair into his stomach then over Eclipse's head as he's doubled over, sending Eclipse to the mat, holding his head, roaring in pain. Joe Schmoe sees this and calls for the bell and the Disqualification on Dark Lord's part. The rest of The Faction rushes out to aid Eclipse as the Dark Lord mercilessly attacks with the steel chair. Moments later, the rest of the Children of the Night rush out as Makuta and Yoshi double team the Dark Lord and Jaice Wilds helps Eclipse to his feet. Suddenly, Makuta, Eclipse, Yoshi, Jaice Wilds, The Dark Lord, Darkfyre, and Kid Chaos are all brawling in the center of the ring, the crowd goes crazy at the fighting.

Vic: "Oh My God! Somebody call security!!"
Jim:"Forget Security!! This is great!!"
Vic:"This isn't entertainment! This has gotten out of hand!!"

Eclipse sends The Dark Lord over the top rope with a huge haymaker punch then whips around only to recieve a heavy right from Kid Chaos, the Dark Lord climbs back into the ring. Several security gaurds rush in and pull the men off each other, breaking up the fight. After the security guards
break the fight up, Victor Cross anounces the match "The Winner By Disqualification and STILL BTWF Television Champion! Eclipse!!" Joe Schmoe hands the belt to Eclipse as security ushers he and The Faction backstage as the other security guards wait until they get the all clear to let the COTN go backstage.

Jim: "HEY!! What gives!? I wanna see them beat the living crap out of each other!!"

Vic: "Jim...you're one sick puppy"
Vic: "We have to go to a commercial! Stay tuned to BTWF: Madness!!"
::Fade to Black::

Victor Cross enters the ring, the crowd taking a few moments to quiet down after that exciting handicap tag match. Victor clears his throat and the crowd manages to calm down as Cross brings his mic up. "The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

The lights in the arena go out as a countdown is seen on the BarTron, the crowd erupting into cheers. As it reaches zero, a quick drum beat is heard, followed by the opening guitar solo of "King of My World" by Saliva. Hell's Guardian walks out of the curtains to a huge pop from the crowd, who gets on their feet for one of their most-liked wrestlers, greatly respecting him for coming out, even after the injuries he sustained at Mutual Annihilation.

I'll never see any side of Heaven
I walk for miles through a blazin' Hell
It doesn't matter what you think I'm supposed to be
'Cause I myself know all too well.

Cross: "Introducing first, from Cape Coral, Florida, weighing in at 235 pounds, he was the first ever BTWF World Heavyweight Champion and a former Small Fry Champion...Hell's Guardian!"

(King)
I'll open your eyes and make you see...
I'm the king of my world (king of my world)
I'll break down the gates around you
I'm the king of my world (king of my world)
I'll break down the gates around you
(the gates of Hell)

3, 2, 1, here I come again, here I come
3, 2, 1, here I come, HERE I COME!!!

Hell walks up the steel steps onto the ring apron, wrapping his arms around the top rope and bouncing back against it a few times before releasing it and smirking out to the crowd, raising his arms up before slipping between the ropes, walking around the center of the ring for a moment before leaning back against the corner, watching the entrance ramp as his entrance theme cuts out.

The lights in the arena dim to a dark blue as the bass guitar intro of "Hysteria" by Muse floods the sound system. As drums come into the song, two white spotlights come on at the top of the entrance ramp, illuminating the area in front of the curtains, showing Revision with his back to the crowd, dressed in his dark blue boxer's robe, hands down at his side. As the main beat of the song kicks in, Revision throws his arms out to the side, a wall of white pyro erupting up from the top of the entrance ramp. Revision emerges from the smoke with his arms out to his sides, slightly curved upward at the elbow, fingers curved in somewhat towards his palms. Revision tosses back the hood of his robe with a jerking motion of his head, looking around the arena with the blue eyes hidden behind his sunglasses.

Cross: "And his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 190 lbs...Revision!!!"

The crowd heavily boos and jeers Revision, but he doesn't seem to notice at all. Revision does a slow 360 degree turn as he moves down the ramp, bringing his arms back down to his sides as he reaches the bottom of the ramp. Revision walks over to the nearby steel steps and climbs up onto the apron, walking out towards the middle of the ropes and turning to face the entrance ramp, one arm splayed out across the top rope. Revision smirks out at the crowd before slipping through the ropes and into the ring, pointing at the bandages on Hell's forehead and grinning, Hell glaring at Revision, but going forward to attack him yet. Revision does another 360 in the middle of the ring, then falls down to his knees, tossing his head back as white sparks of pyro shower down from sets above the turnbuckles. Revision stands up as his entrance theme fades out, removing his robe and handing it off to an official as well as his sunglasses, rolling his neck and grinning over at Hell.

Grey Fox asks both men if they're ready, then steps back and calls for the bell, three harsh dings sounding over the arena.

Hell and Revision slowly circle each other for a moment, then lock up into a grapple. However, before Hell can use his superior strength to take over, Revision quickly ducks to the side and slips out of the grapple, grabbing Hell's arm and twisting it around into an Armbar. Hell winces slightly from the pain, but manages to use his agility to do a quick forward flip, untwisting his arm and turning to go for a punch, but Revision quickly twists Hell's arm up again into a Hammerlock. Hell quickly turns and hits two hard elbow shots into Revision's temple, forcing the smaller cruiserweight to break the move. Hell then turns around and grabs Revision from behind, grabbing him around the side and lifting him up, arching backwards to slam Revision's head down into the mat with a Side Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Revision slumps over onto his stomach and clutches his head, cringing a bit, but quickly rolls out of the way of a Knee Drop by Hell, small shockwaves moving through Hell's knee and upper leg, making the veteran wince a bit. Revision stands up about the same time as Hell, but quickly bounces off the ropes, coming forward in the attempt of a Flying Clothesline. Hell doesn't manage to duck in time, and gets bowled over with the maneuver, Revision landing in a somersault and getting quickly back up to his feet as Hell struggles to get back up to a vertical base. Revision doesn't give him any time to do so, however, running forward and dropping down into a Low Dropkick, slamming the soles of his boots right into Hell's face, knocking him onto his back to boos from the crowd.

Revision stands up and grabs Hell by the arm, lifting him up and twisting Hell's arm around once again into an Armbar, but this time flips Hell over him in an Armwrench Take-Down, dropping to the floor and pulling Hell into a Crucifix Armbar. Grey Fox moves over and begins to ask Hell every so often if he wants to give up, but Hell shakes his head each time, trying to wrench his arm out of the maneuver, but Revision has the move tightly locked in. Finally, Hell manages to scoot himself over far enough to get a foot on the ropes. Revision doesn't break the move, however, and Grey Fox begins the count. At four, Revision lets go and stands up, raising his hands up and insisting he hadn't realized that Hell had reached the ropes until after Grey had started the count. Hell clutches his shoulder for a few moments, but gets up quickly enough, turning to face Revision and glaring at the smaller cruiserweight. Revision only responds with a smirk, bringing a hand up and gesturing for Hell to come at him. Hell doesn't take the bait, however, slowly moving forward and striking out to pull Revision into a grapple. Revision tries to fight out of this one, but Hell keeps him in, and uses his strength to win out, hitting a quick Short-Arm Knee to the Stomach on Revision before Gutwrenching Revision up onto his shoulder. Hell slowly shifts Revision back, then suddenly grabs his head and drops down to a sitting position, pulling Revision down into a sudden Neckbreaker to a pop from the crowd. Hell then turns over and hooks Revision's leg, Grey Fox sliding in for the count.

Grey: 1...2

Revision kicks out right at the two to boos from the crowd. Hell doesn't look too phazed by this, apparently having not expected to pin Revision this quickly anyway. Hell turns and grabs Revision by the head, lifting him up before whipping him across the ring and into the ropes. Hell picks Revision up as he comes back and goes for a Back Body Drop, but Revision manages to turn his body in the air, landing with his feet on the middle ropes and bouncing off of them, Hell turning around right into a Springboard Tilt-A-Whirl Head Scissors from Revision, the smaller cruiser flinging Hell across the ring by his neck, Hell landing roughly on his back to jeers from the crowd. Revision kips up and smirks, looking quite proud of himself for that reversal. Hell gets up with some assistance from the ropes, shaking the pain off and rolling his neck a little, then turns to face Revision, narrowing his eyes. Revision only smirks, this time going on the offensive, running forward. Hell quickly ducks to the side and grabs Revision from behind, pulling him back into a hard German Suplex, planting the back of Revision's head and neck into the mat with the move to a pop from the crowd. Hell turns to them and lifts his arms up quickly, then turns back to Revision, picking him up and slamming him down in a Standing Head Scissors. Hell then lifts Revision up into a Powerbomb position before slamming him back down hard into the mat, Revision, arching his back on the ground from the vicious Powerbomb. Though Hell didn't have the strength to make it particularly devastating, it was enough to stun Revision long enough for Hell to lock in a pin. Grey Fox slides in.

Grey: 1....2...

Revision kicks out as Grey lifts his hand up after the two, the crowd jeering this. Hell looks a little frustrated, knowing that in his weakened state, he needs to end this match before Revision can get any momentum back. Hell lifts Revision up, then whips him across the ring into the ropes, turning to the side and hitting him with a hard Knife-Edge Chop, sending Revision down onto his back, the smaller wrestler clutching his chest and cringing from the chop, made all the more powerful due to how fast Revision came into it. Hell quickly follows with a Spiral Leg Drop, slamming his leg right down on Revision's neck. Hell grabs Revision by the head and lifts him up into a Front Facelock. Hell then reaches out with his free hand and grabs Revision's arm, using the arm as a lever as he spins around and twists Revision over so that his back faces the crowd, pulling him down into a Neckbreaker Bomb! Revision cries out in pain, wincing as his neck is slammed down onto Hell's shoulder. Hell doesn't let up, however, standing up while still keeping a hold of Revision's arm. Hell twists Revision's arm into an Armbar, then suddenly flips him over onto his back, before dropping down and pulling Revision into a Crucifix Armbar, the same combination that Revision had used earlier in the match. Revision cringes and tries to get to the ropes, but Hell has him near the middle of the ring. Finally, Revision rolls over onto his stomach and pulls Hell into a modified Schoolboy Rollup. Grey Fox slides in.

Grey: 1...2...

Hell breaks out of the pinning combination, but in doing so, also has to break the submission on Revision. Revision quickly rolls away, grabbing his shoulder and rubbing it for a moment, but doesn't pay too much attention to it, quickly jumping forward and pulling Hell down into a Bulldog. Hell rolls over onto his back and holds his face, clutching it in pain. Revision smirks, then grabs Hell and lifts him back up, whipping him across the ring and into the ropes, grabbing Hell as he comes back and nailing a Flapjack, once again driving Hell's face down into the mat. Revision grabs Hell and lifts him up once again, beginning a hail of punches to Hell's forehead and backing him up into a corner, then hits a hard Knife-Edge Chop, making Hell slump back against the corner. Revision backs up, then runs forward and jumps up to hit a hard Yakuza kick right in Hell's face, making him slump down into a sitting position in the corner. Revision then grabs the top ropes and digs his boot into Hell's face, forcing him down to the mat and jamming his foot down into Hell's face, using the ropes for leverage. Grey Fox doesn't let this go on for long, however, immediately starting a five count. Revision breaks it off at four, getting an admonishing from Grey, but he ignores it, grabbing Hell by the leg and pulling him out a little ways from the corner. Revision then climbs up into the corner, standing on the top turnbuckle and grinning down at Hell, then launches himself forward into a Shooting Star Press, flying into the backflip and landing squarely on Hell's chest! Revision kneels for a moment, clutching his stomach, but then quickly hooks the leg of Hell for a pin.

Grey: 1...2...TH-

Hell barely manages to get a shoulder up to cheers and sighs of relief from the crowd. Revision gets up and begins to argue with Grey Fox, saying that it was impossible for that not to have been a three-count. Grey immediately begins to assert his authority as a referee, insisting that his hand did not come down for the three before Hell got his shoulder up. Hell starts to get up, seeing Revision was distracted, then grins, reaching forward and pulling Revision down into a Schoolboy Rollup! Grey quickly slides down for the pin, but only gets a two count before Revision rolls over and flips Hell onto his back, quickly hitting Hell with a series of mounted punches, obviously in retaliation for catching him off guard. Hell covers up in an attempt to block the punches, and manages to not take much damage before Grey forces Revision to get off. Hell stands up, Grey forcing Revision to stay back until Hell had reached a full vertical base. Once he does, Revision runs forward, but Hell grabs him before he can, Irish Whipping him over the top rope, Revision landing on the apron. Hell runs over and hits a series of punches to Revision's head, then drags Revision over to the corner, lifting him up onto the turnbuckle, then climbs up onto the middle ropes before turning away from the corner. Hell wraps his arm around Revision's head, then gives a thumbs up to the crowd before jumping off and pulling Revision down into a GKO OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! Hell rolls over and covers Revision for the pin, not bothering to hook a leg. Grey slides in.

Grey: 1...2...TH-

Suddenly, Grey Fox realizes that Revision's foot is on the ropes, then calls for a break of the pin. Hell stares in shock at Revision's foot, unable to believe that Revision had the prescence of mind to get his foot on the rope. Hell sighs with frustration, then lifts Revision up, but Revision suddenly knocks Hell's arms away, coming in with a SUPERKICK out of nowhere!!! Revision smirks as he stands over Hell, giving him a quick slap across the face, the crowd booing this heavily. Revision lifts Hell up, then pulls him into a Neckbreaker position, but instead of hitting a Neckbreaker, Revision runs up the nearby ropes and flips backward, pulling Hell down into a FULL CIRCLE!!! The crowd jeers this heavily, but once again, Revision doesn't cover Hell, obviously wanting to make sure the veteran wrestler wouldn't kick out. Revision lifts Hell up and hits a Short-Arm Knee to the Stomach, then Gutwrenches Hell up onto his shoulder. Revision carries Hell across the ring to the nearest corner, turning away from it and setting Hell's legs on the top turnbuckle. Revision then turns and wraps his arm around Hell's neck, throwing up one arm before spinning out and pulling Hell down into the CRASH CUTTER!!! Hell's face gets jammed into the mat at a sick angle due to his feet being set on the ropes, this modified version of the Last Rites hurting Hell's already-injured head very badly. Revision stands up and knocks Hell's legs off the ropes before dragging him away from the corner, then covers him for a pin, Grey sliding in for the count.

Grey: 1...2...THREE!!!

The crowd jeers and boos heavily as "Hysteria" by Muse starts up again, Victor Cross calling from ringside.

Cross: Here is your winner...REVISION!!!

Revision stands up, smirking down at Hell and scraping his boot across Hell's face, insulting the veteran wrestler, smirking and walking away, slipping out of the ring and heading back up the turnbuckle, smirking to the fans as Hell starts to get up in the ring. Revision points at Hell and grins, calling out.

Revision: That'll be Rocky at Absolute Zero!

Revision disappears behind the curtains, leaving Hell to exit the ring.
