The show opens with a series of fireworks and a large roar from the crowd as the official theme for ReActivation ends

Daniel: Ladies and gentlemen, WPW is proud to welcome you to ReActivation.

Max: and I’m personally proud to welcome you to Alabama

Daniel: You are?

Max: Yes, because tomorrow morning we get to pack up and leave this hell hole.

Daniel: Actually Max, we’re in Alabama until the middle of November!

Max: What? That’s just… Hasn’t Carlos ever heard of providing decent working conditions for his employees?

Daniel: Evidently not or I wouldn’t still be outing up with you. Anyway, we have a show to get on with, and there’s no better time to start than right ………

“I am The Jokester” blasts across the speakers in the Fort Rucker, and the crowd rise to their feet to greet everyone’s favourite wrestler and all round entertainer. Jokester makes his way to the ring, buzzing a few outstretched hands as he passes. He climbs into the ring, and looks around for a mic. He motions to the outside for someone to pass him one, and he finally gets what he is looking for.

Daniel: What’s going on here, Jokester wasn’t supposed to open the show.

Max: maybe all those days in dark smoky rooms with the Dream have rotted his last brain cell.

Jokester: Spank you, spank you. Please settle down.

The crowd quieten down a bit to let Jokester speak.

I have something very important I need to say, and where better to say it than right here in Rort Fucker, Alaska?

Jokester puts on a goofy grin and sticks his thumb in the air, but gets a mixed reaction from the crowd, some of whom find it funny, but others aren’t too keen on Jokester appearing to insult there town.

As you may or may not remember, a few weeks ago I asked Carlos Gonzalez why I wasn’t fighting for the Florida Title and demanded that I be given a shot against Janey Parker. Of course, I’ll forgive you if you’ve forgotten, I only remembered last night myself when I was watching back through old shows to do some research for my match. Well, by research, I mean that someone had gone and taped over my porn collection with a WPW show. Still, in spite of that, I was denied my opportunity and all of the title opportunities fell to Royalty. We have Royal Knight challenging for the Florida Title, The Judge and The Prince of Cats challenging for the tag titles and I think the Dairy Queen might be in the Hardcore match later tonight. So tonight, right now, I want Carlos Gonzalez to come out here and tell me why I haven’t been given my own game show!

Max: Is Jokester drunk?

Daniel: I’m not quite sure, but why does he want a game show?

Max: I think he might be confused again.

“Falls Apart” by Hurt starts to play and the crowd boo in unison as Carlos Gonzalez makes his way out to the stage, microphone in hand.

Carlos: Jokester, I’m going to give you 10 seconds to tell me why you have ruined the start of my show.

Jokester: You heard me the first time. I want a title shot! At least, I think that’s why I’m out here.

Carlos: Jokester, get backstage now. I’ll deal with you later.

Jokester: Sure thing boss. Oh, by the way, does your new super group need a court jester?

Carlos stares at Jokester and just walks to the back. Jokester ambles out of the ring and makes his way to the back, buzzing some more hands.




Dan: Well, now that that unplanned interruption is out of the way, we can get right down to business in what is sure to be just as good as anything we've ever brought you here in WPW!

Max: Just as good? Did you not see all the hype, all the promo's and most of all Chris Cage!

Dan: Err yes Max, I did, but back to what promises to be yet another historic night, we have some fantastic matches lined up including a hardcore bout including the likes of 2, MVP, Cage and many other great names.

Max: We also have a double 'treat' from Jamie Parker as he takes on Royal Knight and the returning Jessie Long, and if thats not enough he then takes on Royalty in the form of JMC and Judge, although he des get Jason Bennett to keep the game even, but we do wonder if Royalty will be backing each other up in those two matches.

Dan: Good point, we also have Brock taking on DiNatale in what could be an unpredictable encounter, we also have Tokester and JBB taking on the Genuine Articles and SiNN, and in that we do wonder if Tank can cope with his new partner and his old one.

Max: And finally, we have a Main Event that promises to be big, its One taking on Scorch

Dan: That certainly is a big match up there, and whats more I this is a Main Event at the Pay per View that JMC is not apart of.

Max: Wow, and up next we have the first title on the line tonight, the long running feud between Twisted and Justin Dreamer reaches another chaper here as they go one on one for the God of Live title. A title held by The One, JMC and Gerrard Carson.

Dax: So without further ado lets get down to Justin Dreamer vs Twisted.

Mina: Introducing first, he is the challenge for tonights contest, hailing from LA, California, he is the self proclaimed God of hardcore, Justin Dreamer

Out of My way hits as as the lights go on and off for a few seconds as Justin Dreamer walks out of the curtains with a huge cheer from the fans. He steps into the ring without his tradition weapon and chains.

Dan: Dreamer has remembered that he could get disqualified from the match for weapon use, certainly not in a hardcore element tonight.

Max: It could also backfire if he did bring a weapon, Twisted has a good advantage with the title unable to change hands in a DQ situation.

Mina: And introdcing, he is the current God of Live champion, hailing from Brooklyn, New York, he is Twisted

Twisted steps out onto the ramp with the GoL title over his shoulder, he looks at the crowd before giving a half hearted X sign before walking down to the ring.

Dan: Twisted is missing Marilyn here today

Max: Yeah, it kind of had something to do with a comment being made about Dreamers girl, and well Dreamer complained and its going to be a straight one on one match, so I'm afraid that Dreamers little bar chick won't be here either and I was looking forward to that

Dan: Well what a shame

Both men stare at each other from the respective corner as the official hold up the GoL that is on the line. A little trash talking goes on between the two stared with Dreamer mouthing off about Twisted's girl, and Twisted mouth back about bar sluts. With that both men jump the bell as they lock up in the middle of the ring, as they jockey for a decent position with then bouncing around off the ropes neither man wanting to give in, but before too long Dreamer finds himself backed up into the corner by Twisted. Twisted backs away on guard incase Dreamer lashes out which he doesn't. Twisted charges in and Dreamer moves quickly as Twisted ends up in the corner. Dreamer begins with a right, followed by another right before Twisted begins to fight back and out of the corner, both men begin exchanging blows in the middle of the ring before another lockup in the middle. Again both men begin to bounce around before Dreamer slips Twisted into a side headlock. Twisted pulls Dreamer back and launches him into the ropes. Dreamer bounces off and jumps over Twisted who goes to the mat, Dreamer bounces off the ropes again and this time goes under Twisted who jumps over Dreamer. Dreamer once again bouncesoffthe ropes only to dive over Twisted this time to stop the non sensical running. Both men stand off staring at each other as Twisted jumps up to his feet to the appriciation of the crowd.

Dan: Hopefully a little taste of whats to come in this match, and certainly some nice basic evasion from Dreamer there aswell

Max; A standoff, now all we need is Jokester dressed up as a Mexican to have a comedy standoff.

Dan: No, just no

Once again both men lock up in the middle of the ring, neither giving the other an inch. Dreamer slips Twisted into another headlock, this time falling to the ground to prevent the ropes from coming into play, Dreamer rolls across the back of Twisted changing from a headlock into an armbar submission. Twisted reaches out for the ropes unable to grab one being in the center of the ring. Dreamer begins to apply more pressure oon the arm however Twisted manages to roll himself over his arm over Dreamer who quickly lets go before the ref realises that a pin could have happened. Both men get up with Dreamer rising a little quicker than Twisted. Dreamer holds his arm taunting Twisted who clearly looks ready to walk out of the match, Twisted steps towards the ring ropes to climb out mouthing 'Still GoL' but Dreamer grabs Twisted from behind and quickly rolls him up.

2...
Kick out by Twisted. Twisted looks enraged as both men rise again, this time Twisted charges in and tackles Dreamer to the ground as he begins to unleash a barrage of punches as Dreamer tries his best to block them.

Dan: Perhaps that wasn't Dreamers best move

Max: He was trying to win the title but Twisted wants to keep it

Twisted gets off Dreamer and stomps on him as Dreamer pulls himself over to the ropes. Twisted gives a small grin as he pulls Dreamer up and away from the ropes before whipping him into the corner. Twisted moves over swiftly as he press Dreamer right back into the corner, lining up a knife edge chop. The crowd 'Woo' as Twisted connects, the sound echoing as he presses Dreamer back for another chop, connecting again before whipping Dreamer into the opposite corner with such force that he goes chest first into it and falls to the mat. Twisted charges and jumps over Dreamer onto the second turnbuckle. He turns around and climbs to the third as Dreamer gets to his knees facing away from Twisted. Twisted jumps off looking for the M-Bision, however Dreamer rolls out of the way causing Twisted to jam his legs into the mat causing him to jump up and down on his less hurt leg. Dreamer quickly gets up and catches Twisted with a kick and a swift DDT. Dreamer goes for a cover

1...
2..kick out by Twisted

Dan: High risk by Twisted there certainly didn't pay off

Max: Dreamer can thank his lucky stars, that could have been a potential three count if Twisted landed that move

Dreamer grabs Twisted and pulls him up, Twisted breaks the hold and quickly catches Dreamer with a series of rights to the jaw causing Dreamer to back up a little each time eventually getting both away from the ropes. Dreamer tries to retaliate with a shot of his own but Twisted ducks it and catches Dreamer with a clubbing blow from behnd followed by a belly to back suplex. Twisted slides down and locks in his own headlock on Dreamer.

Max: Twisted seems to have this match back in his control.

Twisted slides the off Dreamer and runs at the ropes, bouncing off them only to deliver a leg drop across the back of Dreamers neck. Twisted rolls Dreamer over and into a cover.

1...
2....
kick out by Dreamer

Twisted turns to the ref demanding that it was a three count while the ref simply explains that two means two. Dreamer slowly stirs as Twisted quickly glances over before realising that Dreamer was getting up. Twisted goes over to Dreamer who is pulling himself up in the corner. Twisted tries to grab Dreamer who quickly reverse it forcing Twisted back in the corner before chopping rappidly across the chest of Twisted. The ref stops Dreamer and Twisted simply manages to pull himself from the corner across the ropes. Dreamer clothesline sboth men out of the ring and to the floor beside the announce table. Dreamer picks Twisted up and slams his head onto the ring apron. Dreamer goes for another one, but Twisted blocks and mirrors the previous move on Dreamer before sliding both men back into the ring while the ref made the count. Twisted tries to cover Dreamer, but Dreamer counters and catches Twisted with an inside cradle

1...
2..kick out by Twisted

Twisted jumps up much quicker than Dreamer and catches him with an enzuigiri causing Dreamer to fall flat on his face as Twsted climbs up top again. Dreamer remains on the ground as Twisted looks down at him as he jumps performing a version of Spiral Tap. Twisted falls right on top of Dreamer and lies there for a second or two looking upwards before placing a hand over Dreamer.

1...
2...
Dreamer manages to get his foot on the bottom rope

Twisted slowly begins to get up as he glare at the ref who points to the foot. Twisted continues to argue claiming it was three before the foot, however the ref argues otherwise. The replay shows the foot clearly on the ropes before three. Dreamer begins to stir, pulling himself up with the aid of the ropes while Twisted and the ref continue to argue. Dreamer manages to get up unnoticed by Twisted. Twisted turns around to get Dreamer only to be met with a clothesline sending Twisted to the mat. Twisted gets up on instinct only to be met by another clothesline as Dreamer begins to build some momentum. Twisted gets up for a third time only to be met with a kick to the midsection followed by a brainbuster DDT. Dreamer goes for a cover

1...
2...
kick out by Twisted

Dreamer gets up and looks pleadingly at the ref who says two. Dreamer grabs Twisted dragging him to the middle before climbing up to the second rope. Twisted seems out of it as Dreamer looks down upon Twisted. Dreamer jumps off looking for the leg drop but Twisted rolls out ofthe way intime as Dreamer crashes and burns in a sat up position. Twisted slowly gets up grabbing Dreamer in a reverse headlock pulling him up to his feet still in the headlock. Twisted then slam it hard in a reverse DDT causing both men to lie on the mat fighting for breath as the ref begins the count.

Dan: Well some back and forth action here and neither man wanting to give in yet.

Max: Nope neither, however that last move by Twisted could have won it for him if he could have made the cover

3...
4...
5.. Dreamer slowly begins to rise
6...
7...Twisted gets to the ropes as Dreamer pulls himself up in the corner.

The ref checks on Twisted as Dreamer watches, waiting for a chance. Twisted slowly gets to his feet as the ref watches as Dreamer charges at Twisted. Twisted pulls the ref in the way as Dreamer Gores the ref out of his shoes. Dreamer looks down muthing sorry as Twisted sneaks up behind Dreamer and catches him with a low blow. Twisted pulls Dreamer around and hits him with Greeting from the Bronx. Twisted them pulls the ref over who doesn't respond while another ref runs down to the ring to make the cover

1..
2...
3..no kick out by Dreamer t the last possible moment.

Dan: Dreamers hopes are still alive

Max: No, I thought that was it, Twisted had the match won but it was Dreamers blatent cheating

Dan: It was accidental.

Twisted looks upset as he pushes the ref, who pushes back only to be pushedout of the ring by Twisted leaving the match with no official. Dreamer begins to stir but only enough for him to slowly make his way over to the ropes. Twisted looks between Dreamer and the first ref before sliding to the outside of the ring. Twisted walks over to Mina and grabs her pulling her from the chair taking it before pushing her to the floor.

Dan: Twisted has lost it

Max: He's doing whatever it takes to keep the title.

Twisted slides the chair into the ring as Dreamer slowly pulls himself to his feet, the ref begins to stir still unable to see the action. Twisted smirks as he picks up the chair looking directly at Dreamer. Dreamer watches as Twisted charges with the chair swinging it at him. Dreamer ducks the shot but Twisted turns around quickly and jabs Dreamers midsection with the chair before bringing it over the back of Dreamers head.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Dan: The ref caught it, the ref caught the shot

Max: Dreamer won ,but Twisted retains the title

Dan: How unfair, Dreamer was so close and Twisted used underhand tactics to retain.

Twisted takes his title and begins to celebrate in th ring to a chorus of boos from the fans who clearly felt shortchanged by the match.

Mina: The winner of this match as.....

???: Woah, woah, woah

Everyone looks around to find the source of the noise as the tiantron finally comes on to see Carlos in his office, Royalty members may be there but are unseen as Twisted shrugs grinning.

Carlos: Now Twisted, I was quite enjoying the little show you and Dreamer were putting on, and I must say I am unhappy that it ended so by my power I must tell you that this match is to continue, and Twist, if you get yourself DQ'ed then let Royalty have a free win against you, ok. Good, now continue beating the **** out of Dreamer, it entertains me.

Twisted looks on in horror shouting 'No' as Dreamer gets up behind Twisted stalking him. Twisted turns around to be met by Dreamer, who kicks him in the midsection as the title drops from Twisted's shoulder to the mat.

Dan: I don't know but Carlos has just given Dreamer a lifeline

Max: Carlos wants to see people getting hurt and thats what he'll get.

Dreamer grins as he sets up for the Extreme Drop, driving Twisted to the mat before going in for the cover.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Mina: The winner of tis match as a result of pinfall, he is your new GoL, Justin Dreamer.

Dan: Dreamer did it, he won the GoL after Twisted tried to aviod him

Max: I.. I don't know what to say

Dreamer falls to his knees as he picks up the title holding it above his head in celebration as the crowd cheer.



The scene cuts to the locker room backstage, where Jamie Parker is staring at his two title belts laid out on the bench in front of him. He looks from one to the other, then separates them and sits down between them. Parker is interrupted by a cough. He looks up and sees The One standing with his own belt draped over his shoulder.

Parker: can I help you?

The One: Just wanted to congratulate you on your news, and wish you luck for tonight.

Parker: Uh, thanks. Same to you.

The One walks away and leaves Parker with his two belts. A new voice enters the scene, the camera pans out and shows Jason Bennett approaching from the opposite direction.

Bennett: What was that all about?

Parker: Nothing, just wishing me luck.

Bennett: You don’t need luck, you’ll have me with you for the tag match and Royal Knight and Jesse are unlikely to cause you problems. Don’t sweat it, we got this one covered.

Parker: yeah, I guess so.




Mina: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

“Raise your hand if you’re a sinner!”

SiNN’s music blasts through the speakers as SiNN, Brent Richards, and Jackson Strong all appear on the entrance ramp.

Max: They’re all sinners?

The fans cheer as they see SiNN lead his team to the ring.

Mina: Introducing first, the team of Brent Richards, Jackson Strong, and SiNN!

SiNN slides under the bottom rope as the Genuine Articles both walk up the steps, and climb in.

Daniel: SiNN really got the shaft as far as ReActivation goes. First he was challenged by Leon Capri, then when Capri bitched out of the match at the last minute, SiNN was left without a spot on the card.

Max: Luckily for him, the Genuine Articles were looking for a partner to take on the team of Tokestermath and man did they score big with his addition!

Daniel: You’re damn right they did.

Suddenly the music stops and the arena goes quiet, anticipating the words that are about to come…

“I am The Jokester!” “I am the Tank!”

“I am the DPS.” “I am the healer” “I am Frodo” “I am the Coca-Cola Bear” “I am Constipated” “I am…”

Max: Where the hell are all these extra voices coming out of?

Daniel: Max? Stop asking me questions during Jokester’s entrance. The answer, as it always is, is “I don’t know.”

“I am Duke Nukem” “I am 18 now”

Max: Hey! It’s H day!

Daniel: Woo hoo. Hayden finally turns 18 today!

Max: Thank Jesus! Now I can be honest about how many times I masturbate to her cheerleader outfit weekly.

“I am a singing robotical frog who sings funky town” “I am a piece of cake” “I am a hemorrhoid”

Max: Okay come on, that’s enough now, where are they?

Daniel: Max, I don’t k…

Max: You don’t know, what a surprise.

“ I am a Simpson” “I am Stone Cold Steve Austin, what?” “I am Out of Ideas”

By now, both Genuine Articles and SiNN are looking very annoyed in the ring as they wait for anyone at all to appear on stage. They all stand in a line watching the stage, patiently waiting.

“I am wearing a fatsuit” “I am big boned I swear” “I am stuffing this pink leotard” “I am behind you” “I am behind you…” “I… am… behind… you”

The music suddenly stops, and the Genuine Articles and SiNN alike slowly look to one another, then slowly turn around. Johnny Bad Blood pops SiNN in the nose! Jokester pops Jackson Strong in the nose! And Tank pops Brent Richards in the nose! SiNN and Strong both quickly drop to the mat and roll out of the ring, and Jokester and Bad Blood while laughing both exit as well leaving Tank, and a Brent Richards who is holding his nose looking very pissed off.

Daniel: Haha! They came from the crowd Max!

Max: Why do they ALWAYS have to have a weird entrance? Not once in a while but every single time?

The bell rings.

Tank and Brent Richards circle around each other for a moment as their respective partners line up on the outsides of the ring. The crowd begin to rumble nervously waiting for the competitors to lock up, and after a moment or two that’s exactly what happens as Tank and Richards meet minds with a collar and elbow tie up!

Daniel: And here we go!

Brent Richards tries to get the upper hand on Tank by twisting his arm around, but Tank easily overpowers Richards and thwarts his attempts to twist. Tank pushes Richards back toward the ropes, and as they get to the ropes the referee begins to count for Tank to let go of Richards.

One
Two
Three
F…Tank takes his hands off Richards and takes a step back.

Daniel: Well Tank is using his power to get the early advantage here in this match.

Max: Oh, don’t count Richards out just yet, we’re, what, 10 seconds in?

Richards takes a few steps forward, and without saying a word the two men lock up in a collar and elbow tie up once more. Richards struggles to try and get the advantage over Tank, but the power of Tank is just overwhelming to the smaller man as Richards is once again backed up into the ropes forcing the referee to count again.

One
Two
Three
F…Tank releases Brent Richards from the ropes , and as he does so Richards turns and angrily grabs the top rope and stomps his foot hard on the mat.

Daniel: Richards is looking frustrated here.

Max: Well duh, wouldn’t you be pissed off too?

Daniel: No, I’d try a different game plan.

The referee asks Richards if he’s ok and Richards nods, then locks eyes with Tank again. The two prepare to lock up in a collar and elbow tie up, and as they lunge in for each other, but Richards at the last moment steps slightly to the side and nails Tank in the knee with a hard kick with the flat of his foot. Tank leans down to grab his knee, and before he can pull his body back up Richards nails him with another kick, this time to the chin. Tank falls straight backwards onto his back and just as Richards moves down to possibly attempt a pinfall, Tank pushes his body back upward. Richards springs to his feet and the instant Tank is up to his, Richards moves forward to bring him back down to the mat with a fireman’s carry. Although taking absolutely no damage, Tank is brought onto his back again allowing Richards to quickly run his knee into Tank’s side, and begin stretching on his arm.

Daniel: Brent Richards is trying to ground Tank in this match, and it’s a good strategy because as long as they stay on their feet, Tank is bound to out power him

Max: Power don’t matter one bit when you have a submission hold slapped onto you.

Daniel: Which is basically exactly what I just said.

Max: How? Eh, ahh, maybe.

Brent continues stretching Brent’s arm, hyper extending his shoulder as Brent gets to his own feet. Brent pulls Tank along with him as he makes it to his corner and tags in the other half of the Genuine Articles, Jackson Strong. Jackson enters the ring and while Richards holds Tank’s arm outstretched Jackson sends a hard stomp right to his ribs. Tank pulls his arm free of Richards as he covers his ribs in pain, and as soon as he does Jackson goes for the next most valuable weak spot, right in the nose.

Max: Ouch! Jackson just stomped Tank in the nose harder than Hurricane Dean hit the Yucatan Peninsula.

Daniel: …You wrote that line down before you came.

Max: I did not.

Daniel: You did too. No way you’re actually going to remember current events and be smart enough to reference them.

Max: I did so.

Daniel: You wrote it down?

Max: No, I’m witty.

Daniel: Yeah? Where is the Yucatan Peninsula?

Max: …Cuba?

Daniel: It’s in Mexico you idiot. Stick to your normal useless banter.

Jackson drops to the mat and wraps his hand around Tank’s throat and begins to choke him as the referee counts.

One
Two
Three
Four
Fi…

Jackson lets Tank’s throat go as Tank gasps for air.

Max: Wasn’t that move illegalized because of… Well… You know… Because of “it?”.

Daniel: No, it’s always been illegal! That’s why the referee counts Max!

Max: Oh, righteous.

Jackson moves in as if he’s going to choke Tank a second time but Tank pushes Jackson violently off him, then manages to get to his feet. Strong takes a few steps back, and then charges Tank with a clothesline but Tank turns his shoulder toward Strong and sends him colliding to the mat with a stiff shoulder block. Jackson holds his head as he hits the mat, and Tank walks toward his corner looking at both of his allies on the outside.

Max: Who’s he gonna tag Daniel?

Daniel: Very good question Max.

Tank looks between them, but before tagging either one of them Jackson Strong comes from behind and hits Tank into his corner. Tank hits the turnbuckle, and both Jokester and Johnny Bad Blood slap him on the back, tagging themselves into the match. When both men enter, they look to one another and begin to argue about making the tag. After a second or two, Jokester puts his hands up into the air and climbs back outside the ropes as the referee acknowledges Johnny Bad Blood as the legal man.

Daniel: It looks like there was a bit of tension between Jokester and Johnny there, both having thought they made themselves the legal man in the match.

Max: And all the while totally ignoring the fact they just allowed Jackson Strong to tag SiNN into the match.

Indeed Max is right, as Strong is exiting the ring and SiNN is making his way in. Johnny Bad Blood attempts to rush SiNN but SiNN gets to his feet in time to see him coming, and Bad Blood stops dead in his tracks.

Daniel: Is Johnny afraid of SiNN?

Max: Wouldn’t you be? Someone go make sure he doesn’t have a pen anywhere.

Johnny, after hesitating for a moment charges SiNN and is promptly clotheslined to the mat. Bad Blood forces himself back up to his feet and as soon as he does so SiNN strikes him down with another left armed clothesline. Johnny Bad Blood gets up a third time, but instead of rushing SiNN this time he takes a step toward his corner and tags in Jokester, and quickly exits the ring. The crowd boo as he makes the tag, not necessarily for Jokester, but for Bad Blood’s quick exit.

Daniel: The crowd didn’t like that Max. I believe they saw a little bit of yellow in Johnny Bad Blood there as it relates to the mysterious one, SiNN.

Max: Like anyone in the crowd would have the balls to go toe to toe with him, bunch of hypocrites.

Jokester slowly enters the ring, and as he does so the boos turn to cheers, perhaps duel cheers from both sides as SiNN and Jokester’s eyes meet.

Daniel: Don’t forget that these two men have history! Back in PCW, it was Jokester who SiNN faced in his final match before disappearing for good, and appearing here as Van Risen. They were also both former world champions there.

Max: Forget PCW, we’re in the big leagues now, and only one of these two men can lead his team to a solid victory!

Jokester and SiNN rush each other at the same exact time and Jokester ducks an incoming clothesline from SiNN. The two bounce off the ropes on opposite sides of the ring, then charge each other a second time but this time it’ll be Jokester who tries for a clothesline, and SiNN who ducks. The two men once again hit the ropes on opposite sides of the rings, and while SiNN bounces off a second time, Jokester holds onto the ring ropes. SiNN sees an opportunity and charges Jokester at full speed but Jokester leans down and attempts to back body drop SiNN over the top rope. SiNN maneuvers in mid air to land on his feet on the ring apron, and when Jokester turns to face him he is met with a forearm to the face. Jokester stumbles back as SiNN climbs back into the ring, and once SiNN reaches Jokester he jumps into the air to hit him directly in the face with a dropkick like move using his knees to make the impact. Jokester falls back and SiNN quickly makes the first cover of the match.

One
Tw…Kickout!

Daniel: SiNN looking to get the pinfall on Jokester there, but Jokester kicked out!

Max: SiNN winning that early would have been a bigger upset than the announcement that Ryan Seacrest is hosting the Emmy’s!

Jokester quickly gets to his feet and SiNN is right behind him as he does so. SiNN attempts to lift Jokester up in a back suplex, but Jokester kicks his legs and forces SiNN to place him back down. Jokester quickly turns around and hits SiNN in the nose with the palm of his hand, then takes a step back and attempts a wheel kick! Jokester doesn’t make it nearly high enough to hit SiNN in the face though, and instead only gets his legs up about as far as the top of his abdomen, and as a result the two stumble awkwardly to the mat.

Max: Eh.

Daniel: Don’t comment.

The crowd break out into laughter and Jokester instinctively goes for a cover.

One
T…Shoulder Up!

Jokester and SiNN both get back to their feet again and shake the cobwebs, but just as they do Johnny Bad Blood slaps the back of Jokester tagging himself back into the match.

Daniel: What the hell? Johnny Bad Blood just tagged himself in, and Jokester doesn’t look all that happy about it.

Max: Well that’s probably because it seems like there might be BAD BLOOD between them? Get it Daniel? Bad Blood? Like Johnny Bad Blood, but bad b…

Daniel: I get it Max.

Jokester just stares at Johnny for a moment, then exits the ring as Johnny Bad Blood steps up to SiNN.

Daniel: Oh, now that SiNN has been weakened a bit, now Johnny is ready to take him on! What a big man he is.

Max: In their last encounter, the wacko one came out on top, but will history repeat itself?

Johnny Bad Blood flexes on his way to SiNN, and points to the muscle yelling out to him “You sure you can take this?”. As Bad Blood gets closer SiNN just simply stands there unmoving, until Bad Blood enters arms length range where SiNN reaches out and slaps Johnny across the face. Johnny Bad Blood looks shocked SiNN would disrespect him in such a way, and lunges forward to try and tackle SiNN to the ground but is warded off by a rising knee to the forehead. SiNN takes a step back and tags Jackson Strong back into the match, and as soon as Jackson enters the ring Johnny Bad Blood jumps toward his corner and tags Tank back into the match. Tank even looks confused at this, but enters the ring regardless where he is quickly clotheslined to the mat by Jackson Strong.

Daniel: What is going on with Johnny Bad Blood?

Max: Isn’t it obvious? He’s just trying to keep both of his partners involved in the match. He doesn’t want anyone to feel left out.

Daniel: Sure Max…

Max: The best of intentions never go unpunished.

Jackson Strong lifts Tank to his feet and attempts to lift him up in a body slam, but Tank resists. Tank then lifts Jackson into a body slam of his own and drives him back first into the mat.

Max: Looks like Strong wasn’t strong enough! Haha!

Daniel: Good God, you really love yourself don’t you?

Tank jumps into the air and a second later lands on the neck of Jackson Strong with a hard and dangerous leg drop! Tank stays sitting on Strong’s neck for the count.

One
Two
Shoulder Up!

Tank grabs Strong by the hair and lifts him to his feet. Tank scoops Strong up to perhaps body slam him again, but this time Jackson maneuvers up and over Tank’s shoulder. Now behind Tank, Jackson nails him with a hard forearm strike to the small of Tank’s back, and once Tank straightens his back in pain Strong drops to the mat and clips Tank’s legs out from under him with a hard shoulder to the back of his knees. Tank hits the mat, and already ready, Brent Richards slingshots himself from the ring apron over the top rope and lands an elbow drop right to his neck! The referee quickly runs over to put a stop to the double team, but him doing so only allows Jackson Strong to reach down and choke Tank behind the referee’s back.

Daniel: Like them or not, this is smart strategy from the Genuine Articles here.

Max: Maybe so, but those tactics are dirtier than Britney Spears’ hoonanny.

Daniel: Damnit Max… You’re gonna get us sued again.

The referee turns around and sees the choke finally and begins to count.

One
Two
Three
Four
Fi…Jackson lets go of the choke, leaving Tank desperately gasping for air. Jason stands up and makes the tag to Brent Richards.

Daniel: Also good strategy by Genuine Articles here keeping every man fresh with frequent tags.

Max: Oh, but when Johnny Bad Blood was trying to do that, he was doing something wrong right?

Brent Richards climbs into the ring as Tank is getting to his feet, and he hits him with a hard forearm strike to the face, followed by a second, a third, and a fourth. Richards then grabs the wrist of Tank and whips him into the ropes. Tank hits the ropes and rebounds off, but before Tank can do anything of his own Richards hits him right in the mouth with a dropkick. Tank falls to the mat holding his mouth, and Richards grabs him by the arm and locks him in an armbar again. Tank struggles in the armbar for a moment, but quickly gets to the ropes forcing the referee to call for Rope Break. Tank uses the ropes to begin to pull himself to his feet, but Richards hits him with hard kicks to the back and shoulders as he tries to get up, and eventually he just lets go of the rope and falls back to the mat.

Daniel: Brent Richards is an extremely aggressive competitor, and he has been all over Tank since this match up began.

Max: Well he better watch out for when Johnny Bad Blood gets back into this match. He’s gonna hey him to death.

Daniel: He’s gonna what him to death?

Max: Hey him, buddy.

Daniel: …Whatever.

Brent Richards begins to stomp Tank in the chest, but with every blow Tank, instead of getting weaker, seems to be getting a bit more fired up. Tank reaches up again to grab the bottom rope to pull himself up, but Richards stomps at his arms again. Tank pulls his arms down, but when Richards attempts another stomp he grabs hold of his foot and twists it violently to the side bringing Richards down to the mat screaming in pain! Jokester and Johnny Bad Blood yell for a tag from their corner as Tank begins to crawl back to his home base as the crowd begin to lightly rumble. Richards reaches up and Strong quickly tags back into the match, then quickly enters the ring. Tank gets almost to his corner when he once again looks at the two outstretched arms and is unsure which to crawl too. The decision fades away though once Jackson Strong drives an elbow drop into the kidneys of Tank, the drags him back to his own corner where he tags SiNN back into the match.

Daniel: And back into the match comes the man formally known as Van Risen, who a year ago at the original Activation won a the WPW Tag Team Championships along with The Shadow.

Max: And we all know how that turned out in the end. Never the less, Tank I want to make a suggestion to you… RUN!

Tank begins to push himself up to his feet, and SiNN backs up to allow him to do so. As soon as Tank is to his feet though, SiNN hits him with a hard open handed chop across the chest causing all the fans in attendance to woo. Tank holds his chest for a moment as SiNN looks out to the crowd, then brings his arms back to slap Tank across the chest one more time.

Daniel: Ya know, with the Tournament of Champions coming up, it got me thinking. How could a man like SiNN, who had been a victim of the tournament in the past, fare in such an event? Could we possibly be looking at the next number one contender Max?

Max: Ya never know. Hell, maybe the next number one contender is on the other side of the battle.

Daniel: Tank?

Max: No, Johnny Bad Blood.

Daniel: You’ve really got a woody for Johnny tonight don’t you?

Max: That’s not appropriate Daniel.

SiNN grabs Tank by the wrist and whips him across the ring. Tank bounces off the ropes, and as he comes off them and reaches SiNN, SiNN turns his back to Tank and hits him with an elbow square in the middle of the eyes. Tank falls to the mat, and SiNN looks down on him for a moment, then decides to make the cover.

One
Two
Shoulder Up!

SiNN stands and pulls Tank up to his feet as well. SiNN reaches over to tag the outstretched hand of Jackson Strong, and holds Tank as Jackson strong comes into the ring and punches Tank in the ribs. SiNN exits to the ring apron and Jackson Strong grabs Tank by the belt, and lifts him up and over with a suplex driving the larger man down hard onto his back. Tank reaches back and holds his back while yelling in pain, but Strong just pushes his shoulders down and quickly hooks the leg.

One
Two
T…Kickout!

Daniel: The team of Genuine Articles and SiNN are completely dominating this match, Tank has been secluded and they are working together to rip him apart.

Max: That’s the key to winning tag team matches Danny!

Johnny Bad Blood yells for Tank to get up from the corner as Strong lifts Tank to his feet again. Strong quickly maneuvers behind Tank and wraps his arms around his waist, now attempting to german suplex him, but this time Tank blocks it. Strong pulls back a second time attempting the german once again but Tank again blocks the move from succession. Jackson gives up and elbows Tank in the back of the neck, and as Tank turns around to face him, he grabs Tank by the wrist and irish whips him into the ropes. Tank reverses the whip though and sends Strong into them instead, and when Strong bounces off the ropes ready with a clothesline, Tank is also ready and the two men collide and knock each other violently to the mat below!

Max: Ouch!

Daniel: These men are both looking pretty knocked out, and it looks like the referee is about to start a count.

Max: Oh, I know all about looking pretty while knocked out. Mmmm… I love women.

Daniel: …

One…

No movement

Two…

No Movement

Three…

Tank begins to stir, Jackson looks to his corner.

Four…

Tank begins to slowly roll onto his chest, Jackson reaches out but is too far away.

Five…

Daniel: Tank and Jackson both look to be trying to make the tag, rather then stand!

Six…

Jackson Strong reaches out, but is still just an inch too far away as Tank begins to crawl.

Seven…

Jackson makes the tag to Brent Richards. Tank reaches out to his corner, two hands reach back.

Eight…

Brent Richards enters the ring, and is about to run for Tank as Tank reaches out desperately for a hand.

Nine…

Jokester steps on the bottom rope and leans forward and makes the tag!

Daniel: Jokester has tagged in, the referee’s count is stopped!

Max: That idiot Todd Franklin counts too slow… How did he start getting to ref 90% of the matches anyway? I thought he wasn’t even a regular employee!

Jokester enters the ring and clotheslines an incoming Brent Richards hard to the mat. Jackson Strong enters the ring and is met with a clothesline as well. Brent Richards stands up and Jokester gives him a kick to the gut, and a clubbing blow to the back of the neck. Jackson Strong once again lunges at Jokester but Jokester sees him coming and lifts him up and over with a back body drop. Across the ring SiNN enters the ring, and Jokester faces him as the crowd once again go wild. Johnny Bad Blood quickly enters the ring though, and as Jokester and SiNN were slowly walking towards each other, JBB clotheslines SiNN to the mat, then kicks and stomps at him pushing him out of the ring as the crowd boo wildly. Johnny Bad Blood turns around and gives Jokester a thumbs up, but just as he does he watches as Brent Richards and Jackson Strong come up behind Jokester and perform a double back cracker on him, before Todd Franklin anxiously shoo’s out Strong.

Daniel: That’s it folks, chaos has arrived.

Max: Where? I was sure he’d been here for months, but under the persona of Crash.

Daniel: …Not what I meant.

As soon as Strong leaves the ring, Tank jumps from the ring apron on top of his back to pull him down violently to the floor. Strong and Tank hit the floor outside the ring, and inside the ring Jokester sends the point of his elbow right between the eyes of Brent Richards. Johnny Bad Blood watches, still inside the ring, as Jokester then kicks him in the gut, and lifts him up onto his shoulders!

Daniel: He’s going for a Whoopie Cushion!

Max: Whoopie! Yeah right…

Jokester drops Brent Richards in the sitting powerbomb and holds him for the cover.

One…

Suddenly SiNN slides from the ring apron right between Johnny Bad Blood’s legs as he stands watching with a dumbstruck look on his face.

Two…

Johnny Bad Blood snaps out of the trance and runs after SiNN…

Th…SiNN breaks up the pin before Bad Blood gets to him.

Jokester kicks SiNN away, then gets to his feet. SiNN gets to his feet as well, and Johnny Bad Blood is out for revenge. Johnny runs to clothesline SiNN but SiNN ducks. Johnny stops before hitting Jokester though, and smiles at him as the two are face to face. Jokester smiles back, proud of Johnny for stopping.

Max: I thought for sure Jokester was going to taste Johnny’s Bad Bicept there.

Daniel: I’m actually quite surprised he didn’t as well.

Johnny then turns around and seeing SiNN coming with a big boot Johnny ducks, and this time Jokester is hit! Johnny Bad Blood stands back up and punches SiNN in the teeth as Tank and Strong are still wrestling on the outside of the ring. Suddenly Brent Richards reaches up behind Jokester and rolls him up in a school boy. Todd Franklin goes down to count, and Richards quickly grabs the bottom rope.

One…

Johnny Bad Blood continues just punching SiNN.

Two.

Johnny Bad Blood clotheslines SiNN to the mat.

Three!!!

Ding ding ding!

SiNN rolls under the bottom rope, as does Brent Richards, as Genuine Articles’ music plays through the speakers. Johnny Bad Blood turns around to look at Jokester in shock, and Jokester looks up to Johnny Bad Blood and yells “What happened?”.

Mina: The winners of this match, Brent Richards, Jackson Strong, and SiNnNnNnNnNnNnNnN!

Daniel: Genuine Articles just got a genuine win already, but they stole that win there! They were using some dirty tactics in this match!

Max: They’re smartening up Daniel. But the real story here is what’s going on in the ring right now.

Daniel: That’s right, just when we thought maybe the tension had died down, here it is again!

Jokester and Johnny Bad Blood are arguing in the center of the ring until Jokester finally just drops to his back and rolls out of the ring. Johnny can be heard yelling out “I didn’t see!” as Jokester leaves up the ramp, and Tank just lies on the outside of the ring confused. Tank gets up to ask a fan what happened as Jokester just ignores Johnny and keeps on walking.

Daniel: Very unlike Jokester to be so…

Max: Serious?

Daniel: Yes, and upset, but I completely understand where he’s coming from. Like we said, this is a former world champion here, and tonight he got the shaft yet again.

Max: Hey, where’d SiNN go?



Backstage once again, and this time we have Jerimiah Ranks and El Pollo standing in a corridor, as random superstars tend to do.

El Pollo: I just can’t believe it. How could they just drop me like that? I’ve been in nearly every battle royal or multi man event in this company since it opened it’s doors.

Ranks: yeah, and you lost in every one of them. It wasn’t that long ago that I was competing for the PCW title, and now I’m suspended? What the hell is up with that? Then, to add insult to injury, they put Martin Cameron in my spot? I suppose if you bitch long enough and hard enough you can get what you want.

El Pollo: Evidently no, you still aren’t in the match. I was so sure I was going to win this time too. I had my tactics all planned out, and then they just drop me like a hot potato.

Ranks: Or like a hot chicken. HAHAHA, do you see what I did there? Hot chicken instead of hot potato? Cos, you’re like a big chicken?

El Pollo: Yeah, genius! I mean, a chicken joke. I wonder why nobody thought of that before.

Just then 2 walks into shot, his hardcore title strapped around his waist, his suit crisp and freshly laundered and pressed.

2: Did either of you gentlemen consider that maybe you just aren’t good enough to be in the match? If I can see off challengers like Tank, Martin Cameron and The One, why would you two be worthy of challenging for my title? Just something for you to think about.

2 walks away to leave the guys to ponder what he has said.

El Pollo and Ranks look at each other and shrug their shoulders, continuing to bicker about why they should be in the match when SiNN walks past and stares at El Pollo, licking his lips.





Max: Oh, Dan, I’m so excited that I think I’ll just dissolve into a puddle of semen and saliva in the next 20 minutes.

Daniel: How so, Max?

Max: Well, have you seen what’s next? Super Sexy Girl in Hardcore Action with 14 different men and it’s going to happen in this very ring.

Daniel: What? No! Did you not get the memo? That’s on in the bar across the street. We’ve got Beno versus Unit as a special treat for the real fans. Max? Max? Where are you going?

Max removes his headset and sprints up the ramp followed by a cameraman. He goes through the curtain where we see Carlos petting a passing goat, down a corridor where Frederick Meyer is trying to steal a Pepsi from a vending machine, past a seated JMC who clearly has a copy of ‘Hustler’ hidden in a ‘Complete Works of Shakespeare’, and out of a side door marked ‘Fort Rucker thanks you for your visit. Now wash your hands’

Outside, Mini Todd Franklin is at the doorway with an autograph book. Max barges straight past him – the autograph book goes flying to land in a puddle. Mini Todd bursts into tears then recovers himself: Ah well, I only had MVP so far anyway.
The camera catches up with Max as he spills quarters all over the sidewalk while trying to pay the cover charge to a familiar huge African-American at the door of the bar opposite the fort.

Max: Mark Henry? Not another injury, Mark?

Henry shrugs and grabs 20 dollars from Max. Max charges to the bar and says: Where is the hardcore action? I’m doing color.

The barman jerks a thumb to the Bees who sit in a booth next to a very large black lady (Tank and Johnny Bad Blood’s sister???) They are all very nearly dressed in hooker gear – I say very nearly because the clothes are at least two sizes too small and nipples peek out of their skimpy tops because this is a PPV and we can get away with that sort of thing – They wave coquettishly at Max but the color drains from his cheeks until he is paler than an albino with severe anaemia.
The TV in the bar kicks up the volume – it is tuned to WPW - and we hear ‘My Humps’ as Super Sexy Girl gyrates like a gyroscope with vertigo as she gets in the ring.

Max: Daniel, you shit, you lied to me!!!!

Max charges out of the bar and back across the street. He tries the side door but it is locked, so tries the main entrance but, as he has left his ID at the commentary table is refused entry. He goes back round the side of the building but is heat butted straight in the crotch by a football helmeted mini Todd Franklin. He scarpers as Max writhes on the ground. Max recovers slowly though and finds the ticket which Mini Todd has dropped. His face brightens and he goes back to the main entrance. The guy on the door says : Hey! This is a concessionary ticket!

Max: Yeah, I’m older than I look. (wavery voice) I’m 102 you know.

The doorman doesn’t look happy but lets Max in. He pants his way up the stairs, still followed by the cameraman and finds his way back to ringside where he takes his seat beside Daniel.

Max: What did I miss?

Daniel: Fourteen WPW superstars have made their entrance. Oh, and Super Sexy Girl flashed her boobs. Shame you missed that. I must have misread the memo. This is, of course a hardcore match over a 20 – yes, 20 minute time limit. To win the title, you must pin the current title holder but the man…….or woman who holds the title at the end of 20 minutes, gets to take the belt home with them until the next title match. And of course, this is ‘Falls count anywhere’ rules.

Papa Roach’s ‘Walking Through Barbed Wire’ hits the PA and 14 superstars jostle for position at the rope to be the first to tackle title holder 2 as he gets into the ring. Lights play over the entrance area but 2 is nowhere to be seen. As the music finishes, the wrestlers realize the crowd noise is trying to tell them something – 2 has got into the ring from the opposite side and starts cracking the title belt over the heads of the first four superstars to turn round.
Forsaken, The Konami Kid, Chris Cage and Vengeance all hit the deck in turn.

Ding Ding

The bell rings and a small timer appears at the side of the screen for those of you watching at home, and on the WPWTron for those in the arena.

Daniel: This match has begun and thirteen men and one woman are now targeting the one man between them and the hardcore title. That one man is Two!

Max: One man is Two? Oh, just you carry on for a bit while I get my breath back.

2 exits the ring again as he realizes that he has a big target on his back. He runs round the ring to try to make his way back up the ramp but is hit full in the face by a Big Boot from newcomer David Nicolls. He flops on 2 but is hauled off and replaced by Vengeance before referee Todd Franklin can even get in a one count. Vengeance is counted instead.

1……………Vengeance is hit hard across the back by a golf club brandished by Frederick Meyer III and releases the cover to shoulder charge Meyer.

Daniel: Meyer a big golf fan of course. He’s just back from Scotland where he bought some new clubs.

Max: What type? Nike? Callaway?

Daniel: No, Saint Andrews, Troon and Gleneagles I believe it was.

Max: I thought I was the one who did the antique gags, Daniel.

Daniel: You are, Max. You are.

Vengeance and Meyer continue trading blows so 2 rolls away under the ring.

Gunnar Brian looks under the ring for 2 but pulls out a fire extinguisher instead and sprays it in the face of Desmond Troy and MVP as they rush him. Super Sexy Girl once again looks to avoid any serious action, sidestepping a fist fight between Kaze and Chris Cage. She gets up on the top turnbuckle and settles in to watch the action

Daniel: Super Sexy Girl is using the same tactics that won her an elimination contest some three months ago. Could history be about to repeat itself?

Max: I doubt it, Daniel. These superstars are older and wiser now. They will not underestimate the wily vixen like they did last time.

As if to prove this, Konami Kid and Jak Montoya go to the turnbuckle and both Superplex SSG from her perch ensuring a huge crash as they all hit the mat. Martin Cameron comes over with a chair he has seized from outside the ring and begins to bring it down on the defenseless Montoya.
Gunnar Brian, having disabled MVP and Troy, with the fire extinguisher, sets it off under the ring trying to flush out 2. He exits from the opposite side but his belt is now wrapped in barbed wire, 2 himself wearing oven gloves to protect his hands. Desmond Troy makes the mistake of trying a Clothesline on 2 as he emerges, but 2 brings up the belt in time and Troy’s arm hits it hard. 2 pulls the belt back, tearing small chunks of Troy’s flesh with it. He grins at Troy’s pain but is quick enough to see David Nicolls coming at him with another big boot. Again he pulls the belt up in front of his face but the force of the boot crashes the belt into his forehead and 2 collapses, spilling the belt from his grasp. Nicolls covers.

1………………2………………..3!!!

Mina: Your new Hardcore Champion……….sorry, your new Corehard Champion at 4 minutes and 3 seconds……David Nicolls!

Nicolls celebrates briefly then realizes that he will have to defend himself, so looks under the ring for a weapon, emerging with an eight foot stepladder. MVP has rushed round the side of the ring but is sent flying by Nicolls as he spins the ladder. Nicolls rolls into the ring with the ladder.
Desmond Troy, with a bloodied right arm, and Chris Cage do not seem to have heard Mina’s announcement and pick up 2 before whipping him against the steel steps. 2 clatters hard into the steps, leaving a smear of blood from his forehead on the dented steel. Cage pins him but Todd Franklin dismisses him with a wave of the arms, indicating that Cage is pinning the wrong man. Cage is confused and asks who is the right man, but Todd Franklin moves away to referee some other action taking place between SSG and Jak Montoya. SSG has him in a head scissors but Montoya does not seem to be making much effort to escape.

Daniel: I suppose that there are people who would pay good money to be in Montoya’s position right now.

Max: Besides me?

Daniel gives Max a withering look as the action continues both inside and outside the ring. Forsaken, Vengeance, the Konami Kid, Gunnar Brian and Frederick Meyer have surrounded Nicolls and are each trying to land a blow on him, but he has set up his ladder in the centre of the ring and quickly scales it to the top rung before doing a Moonsault to flatten the five men underneath. Super Sexy Girl sees her chance, releases Montoya from the head scissors to his obvious disappointment, and goes to cover Nicolls.

1………….2………..Nicolls gets a shoulder up

Daniel: Ooooh! Super Sexy Girl a millisecond away from becoming a two time hardcore champion.

Forsaken and Vengeance recover enough to pull Super Sexy Girl away though Forsaken has the manners to bow in apology as he does so. Vengeance takes advantage of this hesitation by Forsaken and gets in a cover before his tag team mate, but Forsaken pulls him off too and the two friends start to argue. Nicolls is quick to roll out of the ring leaving them pushing each other.
On the other side of the ring Martin Cameron has targeted Sky Ryder and thrashes him with two short Japanese fighting sticks. Ryder lets the blows bounce off him however and bares his fang like teeth, bringing Cameron up short. Cameron realizes the threat he is dealing with and places the two stick at right angles with each other making the sign of the cross. Ryder recoils and backs up against the guard rail where Cameron drop kicks him. Ryder bowls over backwards to land in the middle of the crowd. Several kids pat him on the back until his eyes seem to flash red and the kids who have yet to learn how to sneak into ‘R’ rated films wet themselves.
Desmond Troy, having borrowed a soon to be worthless ‘One World Champion’ T-shirt to staunch the blood from his arm, retrieves a small mediaeval mace from a bag left at the side of the ring. This is a small spiked iron ball on a stick. He tests it by gently thumping it into a gloved hand and smiles at the satisfying heaviness it displays. He goes to smash it into the back of David Nicolls’ skull but is Speared instead by 2 who has recovered and wants to extract his own revenge on Nicolls. Nicolls turns to see the two men on the floor beside him and stomps both of them to prevent them getting up.

Daniel: The polls have just closed, Max.

Max: And?????

Daniel: It’s a landslide. This match is officially now a slobberknocker.

Max: I know how proud that makes you feel.

Nicolls decides the safest place to be is in the ring, so he rolls in and bumps into the feet of Forsaken and Vengeance who stop their argument and seize Nicolls before hoisting him up on Forsaken’s shoulders so that Vengeance can deliver…..

Daniel: ……THE DOOMSDAY DEVICE!!!

Max: Ow! Don’t shout.

Forsaken covers Nicoll’s midsection whereas Vengeance goes over his chest.

1……………2…………….3!!!!

Mina: Your new Hardcore Champion at 7 minutes and 50 seconds……….Forsaken!!!!

Franklin vigorously points at Vengeance.

Mina: I’m sorry…….Vengeance!!!!

Forsaken rises furiously and hits a rapid ‘Pain That I Endured’ on Vengeance who is slow to react. Forsaken covers……

1…………….2……………3

Mina: Your new Hardcore Champion at 7 minutes and 59 seconds……….Forsaken!!!

Vengeance turns the tables on Forsaken and, straddling him, lands a series of blows with both hands. Sky Ryder comes up behind him and draws ………something……..over his forehead. Vengeance starts to seep a little blood from the lacerations made in his scalp.

Daniel: Wha……..?????? Oh, my God. That looks like – a monkey’s paw. It looks like our monkey’s paw – the late lamented Popcorn Monkey.

Max: I think you’re wrong, Daniel.

Daniel: It is! I’d recognize that anywhere.

Max: No. I mean that the Popcorn Monkey was never all that lamented. Maybe he’ll become the Hardcore Champion from beyond the grave. That hasn’t been done before…….often.

Sky thrusts the paw in the air then appears to be licking the blood from Vengeance’s forehead before he fights him off. Forsaken uses the confusion to escape the ring. Ryder arm wrench DDTs Vengeance and Frederick Meyer III joins in to apply a ‘The Vault’ ankle lock. Vengeance thrashes the mat in pain, but Meyer continues the hold until Ryder Double Axe Handles him off.

Daniel: I think these men still think Vengeance has the title. Sometimes it’s easy to get him and Forsaken mixed up.

Max: Bad mistake. Where is Forsaken anyway?

Forsaken is nowhere to be seen as the other fourteen contestants continue the battle. 2 is nailing Super Sexy Girl



Sorry, break in transmission. 2 is nailing Super Sexy Girl with punches from some brass knucks as she bends to get something from a little purse she has left at ringside. She whirls round and jabs something in his eye. He goes to clutch at his painful eye and succeeds in punching himself with the knucks. SSG grabs his arm and continues the series of self induced punches though she seems to be cackling ‘Stop hitting yourself!’

Daniel: What was that Super Sexy Girl pulled from her bag?

Max: A small absorbent cotton item with a little string at one end. Can’t imagine why she would need something like that.

Jak Montoya and Desmond Troy have teamed up and whip the Konami Kid against the ropes, kneeing him as he rebounds. The Kid falls and a chant of ‘we want tables’ goes up……from Max. Troy’s ears prick up and he rolls out of the ring to fetch a table from a small stack beside the announce table. He removes the top table and reveals…….Forsaken apparently meditating in a lotus position behind the tables. Troy pushes the table back at Forsaken, nearly taking his head off. He runs round and covers…

1……………2……………3!!!

Mina: Your new Hardcore Champion, at 12 minutes and fourteen seconds, Desmond Troy!!!!

Troy is quickly found by Montoya who Military presses him back into the ring where Kaze attempts a cover but is quickly hauled away by MVP. MVP flops on Troy and is pulled away in turn by Frederick Meyer. Martin Cameron has retrieved the ladder however and, holding it horizontally, charges at them, skipping over Troy as he bowls Kaze, MVP and Meyer over the rope. Gunnar Brian follows in Cameron’s wake and pins Troy as Cameron throws the ladder over the three superstars sprawled on the ring surround. Cameron turns as Todd Franklin counts the pin…....

1…………..2………..Cameron breaks up the pin and he and Gunnar Brian roll around the ring with Brian trying to apply a headlock. Troy escapes on hands and knees but bumps into the feet of David Nicolls. Nicolls instantly gets him into Chickenwing Suplex position and lands it hard. He covers…..

1…………..2……2 breaks it up this time .

Daniel: WPW rookie and former hardcore champion David Nicolls nearly takes the title for a second time.

Max: How can you be a rookie and a former champion at the same time? That doesn’t make any sense.

Daniel: This is the world of Professional Wrestling, Max. It doesn’t have to make sense. Just side back and enjoy the ride……..the Last Ride!!!!

Nicolls, incensed at the pin being broken, manages to pull off a Last Ride on 2 before returning to cover Troy again……..but Troy has left the ring, only to walk into Forsaken. After recovering from his assault with the edge of the table, Forsaken has set up a table ringside. Forsaken grabs Troy in a chokehold, twists him round and slams him through the table, falling with him. He leaves an arm draped over Troy.

1………….2………….3!!!!

Mina: Your new Hardcore Champion, at 15 minutes and thirty seconds……….Forsaken!!!

Daniel: Forsaken takes it for a second time! He has four and a half minutes to survive if he wants to take that title to bed tonight!

Kaze and MVP are helped backstage after sustaining severe injury from the ladder thrown by Martin Cameron. Ryder tries to use the Popcorn Monkey paw again but it is knocked out of his hand and goes skittering outside the ring. Super Sexy Girl has retreated, having managed to remove the brass knucks from 2 which now sit astride her knuckles. She decides not to get involved with the melee in the middle of the ring and perches on the top turnbuckle.
Forsaken gets shakily to his feet but ducks an incoming Clothesline from Jak Montoya then helps him on his way and over the railing with a Side Roundhouse punch. Martin Cameron launches a Drop Kick but Forsaken sways out of the way and Cameron hits the deck hard. Gunnar Brian comes at him with a steel chair, but Forsaken uses a Jumping Spin Kick to force the chair back in his face. David Nicolls aims a knee to the gut but Forsaken blocks this and spins Nicolls round by his knee before sending him back the way he came with a Jumping Snap Kick.

Max: Wow! Forsaken has been watching those old Kung Fu movies where the bad guys attack him one at a time instead of rushing him all together.

Daniel: Yeah, it’s a special no-win technique I think they teach them at really bad dojos. Four minutes to survive……

Forsaken valiantly tries to fight off some more attackers but is eventually brought down from behind by a kick to the knee from Martin Cameron. Six guys swarm round him and carry him bodily back to the ring. Vengeance takes pity on his tag partner though and starts to fight off David Nicolls who has Forsaken’s legs. Vengeance places his knee in Nicolls’ back and pulls both his arms causing him to drop Forsaken. Forsaken charges the remaining men against the steps and several hit the ground again.
Back in the ring, the numbers have thinned out with only SSG on her turnbuckle perch, 2 and Frederick Meyer who are in a chain of holds and escapes, and Sky Ryder and Chris Cage who try to Suplex each other without success.
Desmond Troy groggily gets back in the ring, recovering after his table shot from Forsaken. He looks round for someone to target then sags back against the ropes looking for some more rest.

Three minutes to go.

Daniel: We’re nearing the final stretch of this match now, Max. Who’s your money on at this time?

Max: Well, Forsaken's the one with the belt round his waist just now........sorta........well, you know what I mean. He could hold onto it for the next three minutes but I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that 2 might just get his title back. He’s been all over WPW programming this week. I think I’ve seen him, Jamie Parker, Scorch and the One more often than I’ve seen a Skittles advertisement.

Daniel: Skittles? Have they decided to sponsor us properly then? With real money? Not just free bags of fruity fruity fruity fruity candies?

Max: Too many fruitys Daniel, and no, it’s just the free candies.

Daniel: Well, I’m sticking to my M’n’Ms then. Ooooooh! Gun Slinger Yakuza Kick from Gunnar Brian on Martin Cameron…………and the clock hits the two minute mark.

A short two minute warning siren goes off and the wrestlers redouble their efforts to get Forsaken back in the ring. Vengeance continues to try to prevent this with kidney punches to Jak Montoya but Gunnar Brian and Montoya turn on him to fashion a Cradle Piledriver.

Daniel: This is severe punishment anywhere, but even more so on the ring surround where there is 3 feet thick concrete protected by only the thinnest of mats.

Vengeance is kicked away by Brian and finally he, Montoya, Nicolls and Cameron manage to get Forsaken in the ring. He scampers up the turnbuckle where he would be unable to be pinned and wraps his legs round the ropes for extra protection, oblivious to the blows from several of the wrestlers.
2 subdues Meyer with a 2Die4 Impact Driver and comes over to join in the punishment of Forsaken.
Chris Cage resurfaces but only to walk into a Spear from The Konami Kid.

Daniel: Chris Cage is looking out of his depth here, reflected, I suppose, by the Las Vegas odds of 1000 to 1 on him winning this match. That didn’t stop several WPW ‘insiders’ looking for a slice of that action however. I bet they wish their money was someone else now. Max? Why so sad, Max?

Mina: One minute to go. This match has one minute before the final bell.

David Nicolls remembers that this match is being fought under hardcore rules and fetches a steel chair from ringside then smashes it down on Forsaken as he clings to the ropes. Forsaken releases the rope and sits up on the turnbuckle, felling Nicolls with a back elbow as he does so. Martin Cameron has used nearly all his energy and looks for respite in a corner, searching for that final burst of adrenaline which might win him the match. Montoya slips off the ring apron and crashes into Nicolls as he tries to get back in the ring. This leaves just Gunnar Brian tackling the title holder Forsaken who is showing signs of heavy bruising and is seeping blood from his nose and cut lip.
Finally Brian manages to punch Forsaken off the turnbuckle and he flies off to land supine in the centre of the ring.

Daniel: Twenty seconds to go and Forsaken is a spent force flat on the mat. Who will pin him and claim the title?

Super Sexy Girl is first to react from her perch at the top turnbuckle and launches herself into a Five Star Frog Splash. Cameron is on the opposite turnbuckle and follows her lead with his own splash. 2 is at the third corner, Brian at the fourth. They each join the pile up in the centre of the rig. As the clock counts down the remaining superstars clamber up the ropes and turnbuckles to do their own versions of the Frog Splash, Money Shot, even a Shooting Star Press from Desmond Troy.
The crowd count down……..

Eight……………..

Seven……………Chris Cage launches himself from the top rope. Twelve men and one woman are now covering one another.

Seven……………

Six………………There is much wriggling at the bottom of the pile up but Forsaken is hidden from view.

Five……………. Todd Franklin gets into position and peers under the mass of bodies.

Four…………….He spots something and starts to thump the mat. 1..................!

Three……………2!

Two……………..3!!!!!!

One……………...Franklin motions to Mina and the timekeeper.

Zero!!!!...............

Mina: Your new Hardcore Champion……..Ding Ding…………at nineteen minutes and fifty nine seconds…………

Mina shrugs to Todd Franklin and indicates that she can’t hear him above the crowd noise. Franklin starts to pull wrestlers away one by one and sends them out of the ring. Chris Cage, Frederick Meyer, Vengeance, Sky Ryder, The Konami Kid all trudge away dejectedly. The remaining wrestlers cling to their position like limpets. Franklin manages to remove Gunnar Brian, Jak Montoya, Super Sexy Girl and Martin Cameron. So near and yet so far. Three men remain. Forsaken face up on the mat, Desmond Troy, David Nicolls and 2 face down. Troy is on top of Nicolls, Nicolls on top of 2, but only 2 is forcing Forsaken’s shoulders against the mat.

Mina…………….TWO!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel: That’s it! The bell has gone and 2 retains his Hardcore Championship belt against seemingly insurmountable odds. This match was labeled 14 against 2 and, amazingly, 2 has won.

2 jumps up excitedly as Todd Franklin retrieves the Hardcore belt, still wrapped in barbed wire and hands it to the new/old champion. 2 raises it high and the crowd respond well, having seen one hell of a match.
The cameraman pans down to Forsaken, lying on the mat barely conscious and blood staining his chest. The Popcorn Monkey’s paw lies across his chest, having been sandwiched between 2 and Forsaken during the count.

Max: No. How did that get there? They can’t possibly give the belt to the two month old remains of WPW’s second least talented ex-employee.

Daniel: Second least?

Max: Second to he-who-must-not-be-named.

Daniel: Voldemort?

Max: No! X-P*c, you idiot.

Daniel: (chuckle) No, I don’t think WPW is that crazy. 2 remains the WPW Hardcore Champion and as Forsaken is helped from the ring, let’s see what’s happening backstage…..







Daniel: You know what, Max?

Max: What, Daniel?

Daniel: After an entire year, there’s one record that hasn’t been set yet.

Max: What’s that, Mr. Information?

Daniel: No one has ever competed in two separate matches... However, at ReActivation, we change all that. We will have Jamie Parker first compete in the Florida State Title. THEN he will later compete with his partner, Jason Bennett to defend their tag team titles.

Max: Is he insane?

Daniel: That is exactly what I thought as well. And no less his first match is a Triple threat. Two opponents gunning for only one of his titles! Not really fair.

Max: What do you expect, you own two separate titles, then you should expect twice the work. It’s like owning double citizenship!

Daniel: I can’t see how that relates, but Max, you are right. Parker is the second Superstar to hold Dual Titles, the first being Gerard Carson who held the Florida Title and the God of Live title. But Parker is breaking new ground by defending them both.

Max: Not one after the other right?

Daniel: course not, that would just be too unfair on him!

Max: And who are his opponents:

Daniel: Well first we have a man who was interjected into this match at the last minute, but who is more than likely going to cause a stir now that he’s returned. Former Tag team champions with The One and even at one point, former WPW World Title Contender, Jesse Long.

Max: I remember him, he disappeared ages ago!

Daniel: Just after WWC in January, correct... So really Long is the wildcard in this match, no one has seen him in action in 8 months. So literally anything could happen. He could be so well trained that he demolishes everyone, or that ring rust might get in his way.

Max: And the Other is Royal Knight, Right?

Daniel: yep. RK beat Brock Goodman using rather admonished tactics to get under his skin and claimed the chance to fight for the Florida Title. Royalty, the group which RK is a part of, has always touted him as the next Florida Champion too. Perhaps they’re right!

“America The Beautiful” begins to play through the speakers as the crowd from Alabama responsively cheers the Patriotic song. Soon enough however the intro changes to "The Distance" By Cake and Jesse Long, The American Icon charges out in full swing, suddenly stopping under the Gorilla Position to stare out at the crowd.

Mina: The Following match is for the WPW Florida State Championship and is a Triple Threat Match... Introducing to you first... From Jacksonville Beach, Florida and weighing in at 210 pounds, he is a Former WPW World Title Contender... “The Real”... Jessssssee Long!

Long jumps at the mentioning of his brand new nickname and slaps the ceiling above him before jumping into the open with a second bound. He Charges to the ring aiming directly at it and even slides completely through it, stopping at the ropes on the other side.

Max: Ring rust or not, I think he’s been getting into the red cordial. Bouncy little bastard.

Daniel: Jesse has been watching WPW since he was a kid and seems to enjoying emulating his favourites, including Jeff hardy and apparently Paul London.

Max: And that jellybean mascot, he’s bouncing everywhere.

Soon enough the music dies down to be replaced by a new song. “E Pro” by Beck plays and out meanders The Royal Knight. He holds himself with such swagger that the crowd know to hate him. He stops just outside the entrance and watches the heat literally pur onto his body.

Mina: And his first opponent, From Dallas Texas and representing The Royalty... Weighing in at 215 pounds... The Royal Knight!

Royal Knight takes his time moving to the ring, pointing out at people in the crowd, few fans, and usually hose around the fan yell back at him. RK enters the ring and looks at Jesse with disdain on his lips and in his eyes.

Daniel: Royal Knight not too happy with Jesse. Probably since he sees Jesse as simply injecting himself in a match that he didn’t win.

Max: And RK has a right to be annoyed, I didn’t see Jesse fight Brock Goodman for the chance to be here. He just wandered up out of retirement and got his shot!

Daniel: Royal Knight has the biggest chance of his life here. The Florida state title, every second since he lost the hardcore title and joined Royalty has been leading to this moment.

Again the song dies and is Replaced with another. “The Prisoner” By Iron Maiden begins to play, signalling Jamie Parker’s entrance. Parker approaches from the ring and holds both of his titles in his hands, The WPW Tag team Titles and the Florida State Title. The crowd treats him with about the same amount of disdain as they Did RK. He has already begun his walk to the ringside, not even pausing anywhere along the line.

Mina: And Finally, From Harchester, England... Weighing in at 235 pounds, he is both the WPW tag team champions AND the Florida State Champion.... JAMIEEE PARKEEEEERRRRRRRR!

Daniel: And here he is. The man of the Month, Jamie Parker. Coming off of a victory over Scorch himself. And holding Two, count them, two titles! An Impressive feat.

Max: But he’s bit off more than he can chew. Two matches at one show. That hasn’t even been done at a TNT or a Live, let alone a PPV!

Parker has slipped into the ring, the Referee has pushed back RK and Jesse to give Parker room to enter. RK looked like he entertained the thought but Jesse seemed to have not even entertained the idea. Parker throws up both this titles in a hand each and plays to the crowd before handing them both over to the referee. The referee puts away the tag title before holding up the Florida Title to the crowd and to the three contestants.

*Ding Ding*

Max: And we’re underway! Florida Title match. Here we Come!

Royal Knight and Jesse both move on Parker but RK stops. He moves back and to the corner. Jesse and Parker look at him, but he motions for Jesse to continue. Jesse, not exactly wanting to take orders looks hesitant. But Jesse takes his chance and lays a knee into Parker’s midsection as he is also confused. Long lifts up Parker’s face and chops the chest, spiralling him backwards. Jesse pushes parker back into the opposite Corner to RK and begins to wail on Parker. But soon Jesse shows he had a plan and whips Parker right at RK, who had taken to sitting on top of one of the turnbuckles. RK sees this and launches forwards, trying to make the most of the situation. Thus Parker collides directly with RK’s knees, taking him down!

Daniel: Jesse talking it to both superstars early.

Max: Full of Energy drinks, he is! Have you ever heard him talk, Daniel?

Daniel: (Ignoring) And what of RK’s plan to let the other two battle it out?

Max: Very intelligent stuff. Or is it just RK’s two friends giving him advice?

Daniel: Good point. We all have to remember, like I said before, that Parker is facing James Moriarty Cassius and The Judge. Royal Knights fellow members of Royalty. How will that affect the match

RK holds one of his knees slightly before Jesse is up and at him. RK however stops the barrage of Punches and riles his own Back. Soon enough RK whips Long at the ropes. Jesse hits then and flies back into a hiptoss by RK, but the Hiptoss isn’t successful ad Jesse gets his weight about himself. Jesse darts across to the other side and tries to lift The artist formerly Known as Stallion for a taste of his own Medicine. But RK holds his own against the 40-pounds-lighter star and Wraps his arms around his head and his legs around his to execute a Russian Leg Sweep. Royal Knight soon gets up again and brings Jesse with him. Long however, is able to fight back and Soon locks a dragon sleeper onto RK’s Holding him there, RK wheezes and stumbles around, trying to get to the ropes.. Jesse is trying to get to the center, to keep RK away from the ropes too. Soon RK begins to drop to a knee. Jesse looks happy with this effort. But suddenly he is thrown backwards as a spinning heel kick for Jamie Parker!

Daniel: And Parker enters back into this match with a bang!

Max: Well more of a thud, a very dull thud. But he’s back and looking to hurt Jesse Long.

Daniel: With the help of The Royal Knight too, now that’s a bit odd!

Parker and RK both get to their feet, and hoist up Jesse Long Parker nails several punches to Jesse’s back in retaliation to a leg swipe he tried and missed. They grab one of Jesse’s arms each and throw him out at the ropes. Jesse bounces back and Both RK and Parker hit an impressive Double DDT To The returning Jesse Long. Long falls on his head and flips over with the force of the impact, still rolling. Parker is up but drops a knee to RK’s chest. Ending their incredibly short alliance.

Max: Well, they might have made Jesse long an inch shorter with that DDT, but it might be the Last DDT we see from Parker and RK.. Unless it’s against one another.

Daniel: Very true, Max.

Parker hoists up RK and delivers another vertical elbow to RK’s chest. He then swings RK around and drives him forwards to the turnbuckle, RK colliding with the buckle in an almighty thud to the same point on his chest that he had been attacked before. Parker slams shoulder first into RK’s back forcing him further on. RK’s lungs empty with such ferocity that his face goes momentarily blue. Parker wastes no time with the winded RK and pushes him up the Turnbuckle. RK faces Parker as he dangles, now on the top of the ropes. Parker soon joins him. Suddenly it seems RK realises his predicament and begins to struggle. RK Tries to push Parker but he has a grip of his head under his arm, holding on for life. Parker soon is able to subdue RK and lifts him up and hits a massive Superplex. RK and Parker both fall like a twelve foot, 450 pound tree to the ground, impacting on the mat with ferocity!

Max: Oh, What a Superplex!

Daniel: A Superplex is a great and dangerous move. It takes a lot out of the Suplexer.. but even more out of the Suplexee!

Max: And this match has only just started really!

Daniel: It’s been five minutes already!

Parker eventually gains his senses and looks over at RK, who is making a star shape spread out on the mat. Parker crawl over and grabs one of his feet, hooking it over his own chest for the pinfall.

1.....................


2......................

Kickout!

Daniel: And Royal Knight showing enough resolve to kick out of that Superplex.

Max: Well it’s still early travelling. Just wait til you see what happens next!

Parker gets up slowly, as does RK, Parker gains his feet while RK is still on his backside, Parker Moves to attack but RK lashes out a foot to Parker’s shin. Parker spins on the spot form the impact.. And RK rolls him up!

Daniel: My God! That’s just amazing. Parker was spun on the sot from a kick to the leg!

Max: A Mule Kick from The Stallion! Hah! Irony to the max!

The referee drops to make this new pinfall.

1...............


2.....

Jesse breaks it up with a sliding dropkick to RK. Parker is Freed. Long grabs Parker and hoists hi up by the leg. Long then hits a Manda Hineri dragon screw to Parker and his foot which spins him to the middle of the ring. Long looks fired up and taunts the crowd as he waits for Parker to get up.

Max: That’s a scary looking move. And with someone like Parker who is a soccer fanatic, you’d imagine his feet would be very important.

Daniel: Don’t forget that He has an impressive 'Arsenal' of kicks... Pardon the Pun.

Max: What pun?

Long waits until Parker is up again and hits a dropkicksault. Parker stumbles back and falls onto the turnbuckle.. Jesse charges in and begins to spear Parker’s midsection over and over. RK is soon up as well. And moves over to Jesse’s assault.

Daniel: Oh no. Here comes Royal Knight to shut Long down!

RK moves closer.. but doesn’t attack Jesse .He instead throws a fist right at Parker’s head, as he bends with the force f Jesse it knocks him back severely! The two are working together and soon enough Jesse and RK have knocked Parker down./ RK and Long hoist him up and as soon as they do, the both Hit double dropkicks to Parker. Parker’s chest and had take the brunt of the blast and He flips up and over the turnbuckle!

Max: Stereo dropkicks!

Daniel: Jamie Parker has just been catapulted from the ring in tremendous style.

Mind you before we can even see the landing of Jamie Parker (Which is particularly nasty) Jesse and Royal Knight are already fighting their way at one another. Jesse and RK trade punches before Jesse attempts a Spinebuster on RK. RK reverses it with an elbow to the top of Long’s shoulder, which makes him pull back and hold it. RK charges and pulls’ Jesse down with a Neckbreaker. RK is up again and Throws Jesse at the ropes. Jesse returns haplessly and RK Throws his arm out for a clothesline. Jesse is faster than we thought and ducks it. He comes back and RK bends down, ready to flip him. Jesse is ready and Rolls over his back to Behind him. Jesse immediately jumps up and hooks his legs around RK’s face for a Hurricanrana!

Daniel: Quick Wrestling from these two superstars. Which can be expected for these two, both admit to growing up loving the high flying antics of a lot of superstars.

Jesse brings RK up but RK pushes his away and locks in a DDT. RK jumps to turn it into a Spinning DDT but Jesse moves, forcing RK to land on his Feet once more. Jesse pulls both arms From his neck and stretches them out. RK sees this and jumps, flipping over Jesse and to the other side of Long. He keeps locked on his arms and ropes to his knees, pulling Jesse across his back and then down, planting his shoulders on the amt for a pinfall!

1.............

2..

Jesse Kicks out

Daniel :What a Rollup!

There is no time to wait as RK keeps on the offensive. RK drops a leg to Jesse’s throat. Before locking an armbar through his legs. Jesse reaches the ropes with his foot and RK is forced to break it. Jesse gets to his feet and the two begin trading punches.. Until RK is able to suddenly duck a punch that puts Jesse off his footing. He stumbles before RK ducks up under his arm..
And connects with Royal Blood!

Max: Oh Crap!

Daniel: Royal Blood. Royalty’s new finisher, quick powerful and it can be done alone or with two wrestlers!

Max: Bad day for Jesse. And Poor Parker is about to lose his title!

Royal Knight drops down to his feet and hooks the leg of Jesse Long..


1..................


2...................


3!

But no, Jamie Parker has interfered. Parker, from the outside has reached in and put Jesse Long’s foot on the ropes!

Max: Oh, lucky Parker!

Daniel: Lucky Long!

Max: Everyone’s lucky.. Except Royal Knight.

Parker enters the ring and begins to wail on Royal Knight while he still lies on the ground after the close fall, recuperating from his speedy exchange with Long. Parker brings him up by his long hair and grabs the back of his neck. Parker then throws RK form the ring, over the ropes. RK falls to the ground below.

Daniel: Parker is returning to this match with gusto now, RK is now just in front of us on the floor, face down.

Max: Look, he’s stirring!

Parker sees this and moves back. To the opposite ropes. He looks with a twinkle in his eye that worries us all. Max and Daniel trade remarks that RK should probably stay down. But He doesn’t hear and is soon to his feet. Parker takes the signal and charges at the ropes and dives over them right at the Royal One with his chest out first...

And misses completely. RK Dives forwards and under him as Parker sails to the floor outside and collides with a deafening thud before rolling head first into the bottom of the announcers table. RK lays down, breathing heavily after missing narrowly a 235 pound man.

Max: Holy Crap! Parker just crashed and burned..

Daniel: And then he crashed head first through our table. I seriously think I can feel his head with my foot under our table!

RK, Jesse ands Parker are all down and it takes a moment for us all to realise this.

Max: Wait, where is everyone?

Daniel: Well, Jesse is still sore from the Royal Blood. Parker just made a suicide jump that lived up to its name and I think RK hit something when he jumped out of Parkers way... Wait, Royal Knight is getting up, slowly but surely.

Royal Knight is, and sees both Superstars down. He looks over at Long and moves over to him, since he is sin the ring and vulnerable. But he stops and looks over at Parker. Parker is motionless, save for his shallow breathing. RK stops and thinks before leaving Jesse alone and moving to Parker and grabbing him by the hair, repaying the favour. RK trows an elbow at his face as revenge before looking at the table and throwing him at it. Parker lands on it and the commentators run..

Max: Run for our lives!

Max and Daniel both back away and back away fast. Royal Knight joins Parker and hoists him up. RK then places his arm under Parkers chest and Parkers behind his head.

Max: Another Royal Blood!

Daniel: Yeah, but through our table!

Max: I’ll miss you table...

Daniel: Screw that.. I’ll miss you Parker!

RK pulls his leg back, but he receives an elbow to the back of his head. RK stumbles but keeps the move hooked on. Parker has woken up enough and si fighting. But RK get his foot back and ready to hot the move.. RK trips and the two begin to fall. But Parker, on the way down, grabs RK’s head and turns the Royal Blood into a DDT! RK goes head first THROUGH the announcers Table!

Max: My God!!

Daniel: Parker, in mid air, reversed that Royal Blood into a DDT, driving Royal Knight through the tale head first!

The crowd is up on their feet and chanting their approval to such a disgusting looking event. Parker and Royal Knight are somewhere in the rubble of a table. Both are lying down, unable or simply not wanting to move.

Daniel: You see, this is what the Florida Title means to these two men. Parker is desperate to keep it and Royal Knight has wanted this more than any other superstar ever has. He’s been talking about it for so long. They’ll break each other in half if it means being champion!

Max: And Parker has another match later in the night!

Soon enough Parker begins to crawl his way out of the mess. He is on all fours, but pauses once he is out of the much to hold his back, which took the brunt of his fall. He rubs it, with his eyes closed and wincing... Before Jesse Long Comes out of Nowhere with a Falling Dropkick that sends Parker Sprawling from his knees and onto his already sore back!

Daniel: Jesse is Back!

Max: Where the hell did he come from?

Long is wasting absolutely no time in getting the biggest advantage that he can from the sore Parker. He pulls him up and rams him into the ring apron, forcing his back to bend. Jesse eventually throws Parker in the ring, once he feels enough damage has been dealt to him. Parker, however gets to his feet as soon as he rolls in. Parker forces himself onwards and hits the ropes and bounces off them. He charges back at Jesse long with a baseball Slide. But Jesse dodges the move. Leaving Jesse alright and Parker’s feet hanging off the edge of the apron.

Daniel: What is Jesse Doing?

Jesse, looks at Parker and then grins a devilish smile. He grabs Parker by one of his Feet and locks it in a DDT position under his arm. Parker looks confused.. and then worried. Jesse smile and simply does one thing. He drops to his knees, bringing Parkers foot with him, slamming ti down and bending it over the apron. Parker’s foot snaps back from under Jesse’s arm and Jamie Grabs it in pure agony

Daniel: What the hell was that?

Max: Jesse just damn-near broke Parker’s ankle!

Daniel: That.. That can’t be a legal manoeuvre. It was sick!

Max: So much for ring rust...

Jesse looks pleased but Jamie is yelling in agony over the move. Jesse looks at the scene and it simply seems all surreal to him. He soon get sin the ring and begins working away at the leg. He places it down and lands a leg drop on it that sends Parker into a new fit of agony. Jesse then leg drops Parker across the chops to keep him down. Jesse jumps up onto the top rope vial the outside and looks over at Parker. He then signals to the crowd who react with mixed cheers, some still wondering about the injured foot= of Parker, Jesse Dives for The Long Shot... Which Connects!

Daniel: Long Shot Connects!

Max: Is this it? Is that one of Jesse’s finishers? I don’t know because I never actually read the signup page really. You’d think someone this lazy would eventually end up fired but I guess I’m just entertaining!

Daniel: It might say “Jesse Long: Florida Champion” soon! Jesse si going for the pin


1..........................


2.............................

THR... No!! The Royal Knight, literally out of nowhere makes the save!

Daniel: And for now, we continue the match!

Max: If Parker really preferred the Tag Titles, she should just let these two fight ti out and go to the back for a rest.. maybe get that ankle looked at. Is it me or is it swelling?

It possibly is. But RK isn’t concerned with that, he has a Healthy Jesse Long to deal with. He hoists up Jesse But Jesse has a powerful punch to RK ready. Jesse then hoists up RK but the two of them are now struggling. RK pulls Jesse down and gets a Magistral Cradle, but tit lasts not long enough to even get a ‘one’ count. RK is up and drives his foot down on Jesse’s throat. RK tries again and grabs the ropes, pushing down harder on his throat. The referee yells at RK to stop it. But he doesn’t He then begins a count

1...
2...
3...
4...

RK less go at ‘four’ and Jesse splutters back to life. RK roars at the crowd, psyching himself up, while the crowd simply boos his attempts, RK grins at this, enjoying his odd heel status. However behind him, he is met by a rising Jesse Long. Jesse lays a strong clothesline at his back that spills him from the Ring and onto the apron.. Not to the outside. Jesse reaches over to pull him over and back in but Parker is waiting with a clothesline. Jesse crumples from the punch and Parker Hobbles over to him.

Max: And Parker’s up! I don’t think all three have been active since the fight began!

Parker looms over a fallen Jesse But Jesse is fast enough, pulling Parker’s leg which trips him up. Jesse The elbow drops Parker in the Midsection before. RK enters the ring and Jesse trips him up with a drop toe Hold. Jesse then jumps up and holds his arms high as he backs away from the two superstars he has dropped. Jesse leans against the ropes and gets ready for them to rise.

Max: Man, Jesse is opening all kinds of whoop ass onto these two!

Daniel: Let’s see if he can hold it!

Jesse looks almost ready to do something but he si suddenly spun around and comes face to face with... JMC. Jesse jumps back as Cassius, on the other side of the ropes, smiles at him.

Max: JMC?

Daniel: The last big match Jesse had was against this man, obviously JMC remembers it too! And lets not forget JMC’s big student is one of the two out there that Jesse was about to attack.

JMC’s smile fades as he grabs Jesse long by the head and drops off the ropes, Jesse’s neck makes contact with the ropes and it bounces back. Jesse stumbles backwards ands the Referee rushes over to yell at JMC. Cassius holds his hands up and begins to speak back, entailing an argument. Jesse stumbles backwards, past the two downed superstars to the opposite side of the ring, where he should be safe...
THWACK.
The Judge, on the opposite side of the ring has swung and connected a chair to Jesse’s head. Knocking him down. Jesse falls before the turnbuckle as The Judge looks on gleefully. JMC smiles at him and the two meet at one side. With all men down on the floor.

Daniel: Those cheating Royalty. Using one distraction to get away with another.

Max: They’re a fluid team.. and some people say they’re the awkward heel stable! HAH!

Royal Knight looks over at his two mentors and then back at Parker and Long. JMC barks some orders at him, pointing at one of them. RK nods and grabs Jesse Long, brining him over. He places him down in front of the ropes as JMC and Judge grab a leg each, holding him down. They let go as the referee once again admonishes them for such diabolical, simple and juvenile tactics, so the reluctantly stop. Especially when threatened with eviction from ringside. RK has climbed the top rope himself. During this time and stands tall over Long.

Max: We’ve seen a lot of Moves from the top rope this match so far.. Superplexes, Suicide Jumps, Jesse Long Shot thingies...

Daniel :What do you expect? All three call themselves ‘high fliers’!

Max: True. And none are more high flying than The Royal Knight.

Daniel: Very correct.

Royal Knight grabs his necklace and kisses it. Usually he looks over to the crowd, but this time he motions to The Judge and JMC. They both nod and clap, cheering their man on as he jumps.... Hitting Jesse Long with The Showdown, Jesse convulses.

Daniel: I hate to see the cheaters win, but it does not look good at all for anyone who isn’t Royalty right now. Parker is nursing his foot badly, and now Jesse has been Steel Chaired AND been hit with The Showdown!

Max: I think you’re right. Didn’t I tell you that he bit off a lot more than he could chew? That stupid Jamie Parker!

Royal Knight is holding his stomach as he has fallen off Jesse after the move. He is getting to his feet and ready to finish this off. He drops down onto Long and lifts the leg.

1........................



Daniel: This could be over right here!



2..........................


Max: End of an era. And Parker isn’t even getting pinned!


....


No!!!! Parker interferes with a Baseball slide that push RK off of Jesse... and sends him right into JMC and the Judge! The three members of Royalty collapse on the outside in a royal Heap. Parker grabs his sore foot after the move and rubs it, obviously it wasn’t a smart thing to do.

Daniel: Oh my God! Parker is Back!

Max: No no no! Royal Knight hit him, get your own pinfall!

Parker soon gets up and hooks Jesse’s leg himself!!! JMC and Judge begin to scurry out, trying to get into the ring.

1.......................




2.........................






THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Max: Oh God! It’s over!

Daniel: Parker retains!

Mina: Here is your winner... AND STILL.... Florida State Champion.. Jamie Parker!!!!!

Parker gets his belt from Mina, His Florida one and holds it up high, leaning on the ropes for support on his foot. However as soon as the bell is rung to end the match, JMC and The Judge have stormed in.

Max: No time to celebrate, Jamie, Run!

Daniel: With an injured ankle, it’s not an easy thing to do, Max!

Judge flattens Parker with a clothesline as JMC simply looks peeved. He rolls Jesse out of the ring before pacing along Royal Knight begins to get up slowly but surely and enters the rig himself .Leaving three Royalty Members and one Jamie Parker.

Daniel: And The three members of Royalty not taking the loss particularly well. Royal Knight in particular. Yelling incredibly verbally at Parker. He grabs Parker’s ankle and treads on it hard, keeping his foot there as Judge and JMC restrain him. But Soon enough we look over to see Jesse Long in the ring, holding the Steel chair of the Judge. Royal Knight stumbles back as he sees him and Jesse Pulls the Finger at RK.

Max: Jesse’s here to make it a bit even. One steel chair going to connect with three Royal Crowns!

Jesse Pulls the finger at JMC and Judge as well. None make a move on him with the steel chair still in his hand. Jesse looks pissed before Giving the chair to RK... Literally giving. RK looks confused. But Accepts it as Jesse pulls a Finger for Jamie Parker as well.

Daniel: It seems as much as Jesse is pissed at Royalty.. He’s more pissed at the person who actually pinned him!

Jesse drops from the ring and walks back towards the entrance. Holding the back of his head as he does. The close fans get a high five or two as he does. Parker, in the meantime si Set up badly. JMC and the Judge are ready to Hit him with Royal Blood but Waits.. Then It becomes obvious. RK brings down the chair on top of Parkers head Just as JMC and Judge Trip him up... And for good measure RK brings the chair down on Parkers foot before discarding the piece of bent metal...

Daniel: This is carnage here. Parker has got to be a superman if he can get through this!

Jamie is on the mat holding his ankle as the three members of the Royalty stand over him. All three men are pleased at what they just did and look to put Jamie on the shelf for good. That’s when Carlos Gonzalez comes out of the back with a microphone in hand. He looks down into the ring and puts the microphone up to his mouth.

Carlos Gonzalez: Since three of the four competitors for the WPW Tag Team Championship is currently in the ring I think that this would be a perfect time to start that match. So referee ring the bell the Tag Team Championship Match begins ... right ... now!

And Bennett, if you complain, I swear your ass is fired! Get his music going and get him out here!







Daniel: Well let’s get this going then. No time like the present.

Max: But where’s Bennett? He’s not coming out!

Royal Knight, JMC and The Judge all look at each other and smile seeing as Jamie is already hurt from the previous match and that Jason Bennett is no where to be seen. But as Royal Knight goes to pick Jamie up for possibly a second Royal Blood "Getting Away with Murder" hits the pa system and out runs Jason Bennett. Jason slides into the ring and is instantly attacked by all three men. Jason starts to fight back and finally gets up to his feet. He lays into each of the Royalty members. JMC and The Judge stumble away as Jason works on Royal Knight who he then quickly dispenses to the outside.

Daniel: Well there he is!

Max: And there goes Royal Knight too! Bye RK. Not your match anymore!

The referee then rings the bell as JMC and The Judge attack Jason. Jason falls back into the ropes and JMC and The Judge then launch Jason at the far ropes and the force of the launch throws Jason over the top rope to the outside. Exactly what the Royalty members wanted to do, now they can focus on the injured member of the tag team champions, Jamie Parker. Jamie tries to get away from the advancing members of the Royalty but fails as JMC and The Judge lay kick after kick on him. Jamie finally makes it to the ropes prompting the referee to pull the two men away from him but to no prevail as they push the referee away and continue the onslaught.

Daniel: JMC and Judge are out for blood here tonight. I think Jamie and Jason have an uphill battle and they are the current champs.

Max: You have to remember Jamie just got done with a gruelling match, I think he needs time to snap back into it if either have any chance. But yeah the Royalty smells blood, but what pack of wolves wouldn't? Or sharks.. Sharks smell blood right?

Jamie is a sitting duck as JMC reaches down and picks him up. JMC then ties Jamie into the top two ropes. JMC and the Judge look at each other as JMC then locks in a figure four leglock on Jamie. Jamie screams out in pain as the referee tries to get JMC to break the move. Judge moves the referee away from the ropes as Royal Knight slides in and begins to kick away on Jamie. The crowd is in a uproar at this point, Royal Knight then slides back out as Judge walks back over to Jamie and then he kicks him a few times before having JMC release the hold. At this time Jason is moving on the outside of the ring. He is leaning up against the apron. JMC looks at him, bounces off the ropes and runs at Jason with a baseball slide but Jason seen this coming and moves out of the way. As JMC lands Jason delivers a clothesline to him knocking him to the mat on the outside. Jason then enters the ring and clobbers the unsuspecting Judge from behind with a axehandle smash. Judge stumbles into the ropes and Jason then throws him into the corner. Jason then throws lefts and rights into the stomach, chest and then face of Judge. Judge leans into the corner and Jason then hits him with a european uppercut. Judge leans back into the ropes and Jason then takes Judge and puts him on the top rope but before he can do anything JMC comes out of nowhere with a dropkick to his back. Jason then hits Judge who is still sitting on the top rope. JMC backs away from Jason and he falls right into a reverse DDT. Judge then tumbles to the mat as well holding his jewels. JMC turns the reverse DDT into a pinfall attempt. The referee gets down and begins to count.

.. No! Jason kicks out. JMC can't believe this, he then gets back to his feet and picks Jason up launching him into the far corner. JMC then runs at him full bore and delivers a jumping kick to the side of Jason's head. Jason Ric Flair's out of the corner and falls face first to the mat. JMC then turns his attention to Jamie who is almost out of the grapevine in the ropes. JMC then sees Judge leaning on the opposite ropes. JMC goes over to Judge and attempts to help him up but Judge pushes him away. JMC attempts again and this time Judge gets to his feet and tells JMC to get to the outside. JMC looks at Judge and tells him to get to the outside the two men bicker back and forth until Royal Knight gets up onto the ropes and tells them to pay attention to the mat. JMC and Judge look at each other and stop fighting. Judge then exits the ring leaving JMC in as the legal man for his team. JMC goes over to Jason, picks him up and throws him to the outside leaving Jamie to represent the WPW Tag Team Champions. Jamie finally gets out of the grapevine and drops to the mat leaning up into the ropes.

Daniel: Finally Jamie is out of that grapevine, but it may be a little too late.

Max: No when my pizza gets to my door in 45 minutes that’s a little too late, this is more like having an accident and having to walk home which is ten miles away for an Anniversary late. If you know what I mean.

JMC walks over to one half of the current WPW Tag Team Champions and picks him up. JMC leans Jamie over the top rope, he then runs at the ropes and bounces off, he runs to the corner jumps up onto the top rope and then off catching Jamie's head. Jamie jumps up with the force of this throat against the rope and falls back to the mat. Jamie clutches his throat as JMC enters the ring and pulls Jamie away from the ropes. JMC then covers Jamie.

.. No Jamie kicks out as the referee's hand begins to go down. JMC can't believe his eyes Jamie actually kicked out. JMC looks at the referee and tells him it was a three count. The referee reaffirms JMC it was a two count, this makes JMC mad as he gets to his feet and verbally attacks the referee telling him it was a three count. The referee once again tells him it was a two count. JMC picks Jamie up and throws him into the corner, but doesn't go for a tag. JMC is about to attack Jamie when Judge tags himself in. The two men make eye contact as Judge enters the ring, and JMC exits. Judge then kicks Jamie in the ribs, not once, not twice, but three times before he drops to the mat. Judge then puts his boot across the throat of Jamie, using the top rope as leverage, and begins to choke him.

Max: Well that isn’t exactly legal, is it?

Daniel: Course it isn’t. But Royalty is hardly the type to actually follow a rulebook!

The referee tells Judge to release the blatant choke but Judge holds his boot across Jamie's throat. The referee then pulls Judge away from Jamie and he throws him hands up and backs away. Judge smiles as he distracts the referee. That’s when JMC enters the ring and begins to stomach away at Jamie. JMC watches the referee and as he turns around JMC exits the opposite side of the ring and pretends to be talking to Royal Knight. The referee is wise to this and accuses JMC of attacking Jamie. JMC battles back and disagrees with the referee. Jason has pulled himself up on the ropes now and is peering a hole through Judge. Judge sees him and then backs up toward him before running at him, as Judge makes it to the ropes Jason pulls down the top rope and Judge hits the floor below.

Daniel: What a smart move by Jason, this evens up the playing field now.

Jason hops down off the mat and then attacks Judge. He picks Judge up and throws him head first into the barricade. Jason then backs away and then runs at Judge hitting him with a knee to the face. The referee sees this and exits the ring and goes toward Judge and Jason. JMC then tells Royal Knight to enter the ring and he does. Both men then pick Jamie up and move away from the ropes, they both lift him up and look to go for a double turnbuckle powerbomb but somehow Jamie gets loose and falls behind them. This causes Jamie's ankle to give out and he falls to the mat. Royal Knight and JMC turn around but Jamie pops up and delivers a double clothesline out of desperation and out of pure adrenaline. Jamie stumbles over to the ropes and waits for someone to get up and Royal Knight does first and Jamie hits him with another clothesline knocking him to the mat. Jamie turns around and goes to hit JMC but JMC blocks it and goes to hit Jamie but Jamie blocks the reverse and hits JMC over the head. JMC stammers back and Jamie then hits him with a quick right jab followed by a stiff straight punch. JMC almost falls to his feet but regains some composure, enough to hit Jamie with a kick to the knee. Jamie's knee buckles and he falls to the mat. JMC tries to gather himself from the attack as he walks away from Jamie.

Max: Jamie's legs are giving out on him, I wonder how much longer the tag team champ can withstand the onslaught of attacks on his legs.

Daniel: I am sure he can hold out long enough to finish this match granted he doesn't pass out from exhaustion first. No matter how physically able these men are two matches in a row can take a major toll on their body.

Max: Like you would know anything about that, you’re a one time man.

Daniel: What’s that suppose to mean?

Max: Nothing... It's a little too X rated for your ears Daniel.

JMC walks over to the ropes and sees Jason beating down Judge, he then climbs up onto the ropes, whistles gaining Jason's attention and leaps off connecting with a high velocity Hurricanrana throwing Jason away from Judge. As JMC delivered the Hurricanrana he hits his head and shoulder hard on the mat. JMC gets to his feet and stumbles to the ring apron, The Judge is leaned up against the barricade, Jamie is on the mat holding his ankle and of course Jason is flat on his back in another realm. Royalty Knight can't believe his eyes as he moves toward JMC and The Judge. The referee sees this and hops out of the ring stopping Royal Knights advancement toward his comrades. Royal Knight backs away slowly as the referee surveys the damage. JMC rolls back into the ring still favouring his shoulder. The referee then enters the ring as well. JMC holds his shoulder as he walks over to Jamie and kicks him in the chest. Jamie grunts as he moves closer to the ropes; JMC stops this and picks Jamie up and attempts to suplex him to the mat but Jamie blocks it and then rolls him up. The referee gets down and counts.

... Once again JMC kicks out. Jamie is bewildered as he gets back to his feet, his ankle seemingly a little better. Jamie walks over to JMC and picks him up and launches him into the ropes. JMC returns and leapfrogs Jamie, and then bounces off the far ropes, JMC returns and then slides under Jamie's legs and gets behind him. Jamie turns around and JMC goes for a spin heel kick but misses as Jamie ducks out of the way. JMC turns around and BOOM T-Bone suplex out of nowhere. JMC is now out on the mat, Jamie is on his feet finally getting his second wind. Jamie doesn't go for a pin knowing JMC will kick out. Jamie moves to JMC's shoulder and locks in a sitting armbar putting pressure on the somewhat injured shoulder of JMC. JMC screams out in pain as Jamie tries to pull his arm out of socket. The referee checks on JMC who yells out 'HELL NO!' at the top of his lungs every time the referee asks him if he wants to give in.

Daniel: JMC not giving into the arm bar. This is putting a lot of pressure on the joint especially the rotator cup. If JMC also has a stinger in that shoulder this will cause even more pain than before.

The Judge is now on his feet and sees Jamie's armbar submission on JMC. The Judge enters the ring and then creeps behind Jamie and then locks in a full nelson. Jamie releases his arm bar and stands up as Judge locks the full nelson in tighter. JMC grabs his arm and rolls away on the mat. Jamie tries to break free but can't so he does the only thing he can think of and that is push Judge back into the corner. Jamie then repeatedly hits Judge with head butts until he releases the hold. Judge grabs his nose as it starts bleeding, Jamie doesn't end there as he donkey kicks Judge square in the sweet spot. Judge gasps for air as he falls to the mat, Jamie stumbles out of the corner and falls to the mat. He then grabs his ankle trying to re-adjust it but it seems not to be working. At this time Jason is stumbling around on the outside of the ring going toward his corner, totally oblivious to what’s going on inside the ring. Bennett gets up onto the apron and reaches in for a tag while leaning on the top rope. Jamie sees his tag team partner on the rope and goes over to him and tags him in. Jason enters the ring and stumbles around before shaking the cobwebs out. Jamie tells him to help him and both men then pick JMC up both of them lock in and then deliver a double vertical suplex slamming JMC back on the mat. Jamie gets back to his feet as well as Jason, Jamie then exits as Jason goes down and covers JMC hooking his leg, the referee gets into position.

... No Judge comes in and breaks the count. The crowd is now on its feet as Judge picks Jason up and delivers a head butt to him. Jason stumbles away and Judge advances but the advance is cut short as Jason connects with a boot to his ribs and then a quick snap suplex. Jason gets back to his feet and pulls Judge away from the ropes; he then climbs the ropes looking to end the match as he gets to the top and gathers himself Judge begins to move. Jason jumps down off the ropes and attacks Judge with a clubbing blow, Jason then mounts Judge and attempts to go all UFC on him but Judge gets smart and covers up. Jason begins to waste his energy and as Jason's punches slow Judge jams his thumb in Jason's eye and then pushes him off. Judge then gets to his feet and pulls Bennett by his hair to the middle of the ring. Judge then slams Bennett's face on the mat before backing away and jumping into the air thrusting his knee right onto the back of Jason's head. Judge then taunts Jamie and that causes Jamie to come into the ring. Judge then waves Royal Knight into the ring. Royal Knight enters and picks Jason up and holds him for Judge; Judge begins to lay in on Jamie and as he starts to work over Jamie the referee and sees Royal Knight in the ring. Royal Knight drops Jamie as the referee tells him to get the hell out of the ring and away from ringside. Judge tells the referee to reconsider but the referee's mind is set and Royal Knight exits the ring pissed off and it’s apparent when he slams his hand on the mat and yells profanities at the referee before beginning to backtrack up the ramp. The referee then warns Judge for the interference. The referee allows the match to continue.

Max: Na na na na hey hey hey goodbye Royal Knight!! Now the sides are even and we can see what team really deserves the tag team championship.

Daniel: But is it a little too late, Max? Royal Knight put forth some major damage before being caught by the referee.

Max: He might have... Ah well.. But we will see if J & J can work through it and come out the victors in this match.. That would make the GREAT champions if they can!

Daniel: It seems as if Jason is a little distracted though here tonight.

Max: Yeah you think, he seems to be off his game.

JMC is leaning against the ropes now gathering strength, Judge is bleeding from his nose still, Jason is in the corner and Jamie is on the mat. JMC pulls himself up on the ropes but exits the ring knowing Judge is the legal man. Judge wipes the blood from his nose and wipes it onto his pants before picking Jamie up, Jamie is becoming weaker and weaker as the minutes pass, Judge is feeling the affects as well, but he powers through and picks Jamie up into somewhat of a vertical suplex, he cant hold it long before he just drops Jamie on his head. Jamie folds like an accordion as Judge stumbles back into his corner and slips down the turnbuckles. He comes to rest on his bottom in a daze. JMC reaches down and tags himself into the mat and Judge couldn't care one bit. JMC walks over to Jamie and covers him quickly the referee gets into position and counts.


.. One

Right after the referee's hand goes down Jason comes out of the corner and goes for an elbow drop but JMC sees it coming moves out of the way; this causes Jason to elbow drop his own partner. JMC gets to his feet and as Jason does JMC kicks him in the ribs and then launches him out of the ring. Jason hits the mat hard on the outside. JMC now stands in the ring alone with Jamie Parker, a smile now comes across the face of James Moriarty Cassius.

Daniel: That smile across the face of JMC is very evil, I doubt he has anything good running through that mind of his. I am sure the self proclaimed Prince of Cats is going to put some major hurting on the already seriously hurt Jamie Parker.

Max: There is no doubt there is evil inside JMC, it’s not like he is dreaming of rainbows and cuddly little bears dancing around holding hands. He is out for one thing here tonight and that’s blood...Well, needless to say Judge is bleeding but that’s beyond the point I am trying to make.

Daniel: Here we go JMC has Jamie Parker within his grasp.

JMC closes his eyes as he can begin to hear the War Drums beat, he begins to sway as War Drums somehow takeover the pa system, JMC opens his eyes and becomes focused in on Jamie Parker. The crowd is confused at what’s going on but JMC knows what’s exactly is going on its time for this cat to become a lion and for Parker to become his next meal. JMC stalks his pray as Jamie pulls himself away from him. JMC waits sniffing the air with a sadistic look on his face, he has become to lion and this is his jungle. Then as fast as a cat JMC jumps on Jamie and begins to club away at his back. Jamie has nowhere to go as JMC gets to his feet and then takes Jamie's legs. JMC then locks in 'The Cassius Sharpshooter' to Jamie in the middle of the ring. JMC can't fully lock in this move as his shoulder stinger has been causing him pain but he has it locked in enough for Jamie to scream out in pain.

Max: This looks like Jamie Parker and Jason Bennett's title run here in the WPW is coming to an end tonight.

Daniel: I wouldn't count Jamie and Jason out.

Max: Well I don't see Jason anywhere so yeah I'll count them out now.

Jamie begins to pull both himself and JMC closer and closer to the ropes. JMC tries to keep 'The Cassius Sharpshooter' locked by the pain in his shoulder becomes too much to bear and he releases the submission. Jamie gasps for air as he continues his movement toward the ropes. JMC interrupts this with a soccer kick to his ribs; this tosses Jamie over to his stomach. JMC then stomps Parker in the ribs again before stumbling away from him. JMC goes over to his corner where the bloodied Judge is leaning, JMC tags his partner in as he exits the ring working his shoulder trying to loosen it up. Judge walks over to JMC and then covers him.

.. Thr ... No Jamie kicks out again. Judge slams his hands on the mat and can't believe Jamie is still in this. Judge shakes his head and gets to his feet; he puts his hands on his waist in disgust as he tries to gather himself. Judge catches a glimpse of Jason Bennett on the outside of the ring; he then walks toward the ropes as if to go for a tag but turns around and runs full bore toward Jason, he then goes for a baseball slide which Jason telegraphs again. Judge lands on his feet and Jason goes for an easy clothesline which misses. Judge then kicks him in the ribs and goes for a powerbomb but Jason gets out and throws Judge shoulder first into the ring steps. Judge hits the steps hard jarring the top step moving it a bit revealing its hard edge. Jason has had enough of Judge as he takes him by his head and goes to slam it on the loose top step but Judge counters and slams Jason's head on the top step; Jason is now busted wide open. Judge then pushes Jason away and goes to get into the ring but Jason takes his legs out from under him causing him to fall face first onto the ring apron. Judge falls to the mat outside; Jason stomps on Judge a few times before entering the ring himself.

Daniel: Back and forth back and forth, this is one hell, well this has been one hell of a match. I didn't expect any less to be truthful. These two teams have a lot to show and well they are showing why they are two of the best teams in professional wrestling.

Max: Reminds me of a tennis match with the back and forth. I can't believe Jamie Parker is still moving, as well as Jason Bennett. These two have had their asses handed to them in a basket with a bow on top. The Royalty however have also taken a beating and has kept on ticking.

Daniel: Both teams will get a standing ovation at the end of this match without a doubt, no matter who the winners are.

Max: Yeah think that now but it won't happen, you'll see.

Jason instantly runs at JMC knocking him off the apron to the mat below. Jason turns and sees Jamie Parker writhing in pain holding his ankle. Jason goes to help Jamie assisting him to his feet. Jason takes Jamie over to his corner and hits a dummy tag as Parker still feels weak but tries to get to his feet.. Bennett enters but that’s as far as he gets as JMC comes into the ring. Jamie is hit with a superkick right to the chin from JMC. JMC then delivers a corner splash to Jason, securing him into the corner. Bennett is draped once again on the top turnbuckle as JMC takes a few shots on him before pulling him out of the corner. JMC then kicks his old pupil in the ribs and then delivers what he calls the 'Soliloquy'. Bennett hits the mat hard and then JMC flips him over and covers him. The referee gets down into position and counts, but doesn't see JMC has a handful of Jason’s tights the referee counts.




.. One





Daniel: This could be over right here.




.. Two



Max: I think it’s the end of an era old friend!






... THREE! JMC releases Bennett’s tights as the crowd bursts outs in boos.

Mina Henderson: Here are your winners and NEW WPW Tag Team Champions of the World, James Moriarty Cassius and The Judge, The Royalty!

Daniel: I can't believe that they did it!! The Royalty has polished off Jason Bennett and Jamie Parker!

Max: Well believe it Danny boy, because they have just become the Kings of the Tag Team Mountain!

JMC gets to his feet with a smile on his face as the referee raises his hand in victory. JMC then takes both WPW Tag Team Championships and holds them up as The Judge rolls into the ring. He then takes his championship from JMC and holds his up in the air. Both men are beaten, bruised, and exhausted as they climb opposite turnbuckles and show off their prizes.

Daniel: I'm sure Jamie Parker and Jason Bennett will have a lot to say about this loss, especially as JMC had a handful of tights.

Max: Yeah but the Royalty will tune them out as they finally got what they wanted, and got what they deserved.

"Counting Bodies like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drum" hits the pa system as Royal Knight comes down to the ring and slides in. JMC and The Judge hop down off the turnbuckle and make it to the middle of the ring. All three men raise their hands in victory as the crowd throws items into the ring and chant 'Royalty Sucks!' over and over again.


Brock Goodman is shown in a corner of the locker room. He is dressed to wrestle, and is already sweating buckets, despite there being no sign of him doing a warm up. His towel is placed over his head and the small cut on his forehead from earlier in the week is now nothing more than and tiny scab. He begins to rock backwards and forwards, then stands up suddenly and bumps into a member of the ring crew, spilling the glass of water he was carrying over Brock. The man looks petrified as Brock stares a hole right through him.

Guy: S-S-Sorry man, it was an accident.

Hearing the word accident seems to send Brock over the edge and he grabs the guy and throws him head first into the lockers, the guy collapsing in a heap. Brock stares down at him, a look of shock on his face. He just mutters something…

Brock: Paul








Daniel: We are back at ringside and it’s time for a non title match! We sure haven’t had a lot of those tonight.

Max: That’s for sure, but this match does hold some kind of goal. Make a man pay!

Daniel: Yes this fued has just begun, but you can already tell it’s heated as a two month long blood war.

Max: Well Dan, please explain.

Daniel: This all started the night of the Tribute show for fallen wrestler Ben Whyndam, Where his former Mentor Paul Di Natale came back to show his respect… but in doing so was angered by the lack of apology in the emotional end of TNT… that he decided to attack a very confused Brock Goodman last week. Now we have a match set, one man looking for revenge… the other just looking for a way.

Max: That just may be true, but we don’t have time for any guidance crap this week, no lost turtle and no amateur pornography… it’s a PPV, it’s ReActivation. It’s time to fight.

Daniel: Well, ah yes… true Max but that’s not focus on the bad.

Max: But if feels so…

Daniel: Not tonight Max.

Mina: The folling contest is scheduled for one fall… Introducing first from Sin City… Brock Goodman!

“Sweet Dreams” by Marilyn Manson hit’s the loud speakers and a burst of flames surround the stage. Out walks Brock Goodman with his Hoodie/robe. He keeps his head down as he descends to the ring, Flames blast through out his entrance until finally they stop. Goodman enters the ring still with his head down and suddenly with a abrupt quickness removes his hoodie and one last large flame shoots from the Turnbuckle. Brock does not look at the fans as he removes his jacket and gets ready for his opponent.

Max: Brock is going through a lot right now, and some have to doubt if he has enough in him to pull off a victory.

Daniel: Very true Max, actually… even well said. Brock lost to Royal Knight two weeks ago because of his hesitation in the ring.

Mina: Any his opponent weighing in at 205 pounds, from Melbourne, Australia… he is Paul Di Natale !

“You Know You’re Right” Nirvana. Hits and suddenly Paul comes down to the ring with a whole staring through Brock. He slaps hands with a few fans but doesn’t stop the constant eye contact.

Daniel: Paul is not intimidated, he looks to like he wants to hurt Brock.

Max: He needs to take a chill pill, or Xanex or something.

Daniel: He could be a little angry about the fans cheering Brock Goodman more than himself.

Max: It just doesn’t make sense, Brock has always been the bad guy. What has he done to change that?

Daniel: He had shown he is human, and I suppose the fans are lacking on to that fact.

Max: Yet Brock isn’t willing to embrace it, he knows they will just turn on him!

Both man stand right next to each other. Paul yelling things at Brock with tremendous anger… Brock on the other hand seems very calm… almost lost in his own mind. The ref separates both men and asks the timekeeper to ring the bell. Then it’s heard…

DING DING DING

Paul jumps out at Brock and wails him with tremendous right hands. The fourth one making Brock stumble back. This is met by boos by the fans. Paul looks on at them in confusion and then decides to bounce off the opposite turnbuckle and delivers a clothesline that finally takes down Brock,. this is met by even more boos by the fans. Paul grows even angrier and starts to pummel Brock with right hands, making the crowd grow even larger with boos. This even fuels Pauls anger more… he screams at Brock “This is for Ben!” and delivers a thunderous right hand to the face of Brock. He stands up and looks on to the crowd and dismisses them. Brock just lays there and looks on as he feels no reason to fight. Paul takes advantage of Brocks state and puts him in a perfect headlock.

Daniel: Paul is taking advantage of Brock here, and the fans strange point of view seems to be fueling him.

Max: Well we are know Brock can snap

Daniel: Not funny.

Max: No?

Daniel: No.

Paul holds Brock in the headlock and finally Brock shows some signs of life. He begins to try and fend it off but the highly technical Paul keeps in on. Suddenly the fans start stomping there feel and Brock losing breath begins to hear them… for a moment he embraces it. His hand starts to shake and he begins to pull both men up the fans begins to cheer as Brock delivers a elbow right to the sternum of Paul. Then another… then another until finally Pauls grip begins to loosen as Brock then pushes Pauls back pushing him towards the ropes, Paul bounces off and is met by a kick to the gut by Brock. Brock plants Paul with a devastating DDT and hesitantly goes for the cover. He looks more concerned with Paul’s neck than anything else.


Max: I think those crazy fans are actually helping Brock get into this match.

Daniel: It’s like he’s human… not just a beast.

Max: You see? You see? He's not a machine, he's a man, he's a man!

Daniel: Thank you obscure Rocky 4 reference.

No. Paul gets his arm up at two. Brock slams his hand on the ground in frustration. And yells “It’s not worth it!” towards Paul. Brock then backs ups and just shakes his head no. Brock leaves the ring and turns his back to it. Suddenly Paul comes into view and hits him right in the back of the head. Paul gets aggressive with anger and takes Brock over to a steel step and bashes head right into the steel! Then again and again and one more time for good measure. The fans continue to boo any offense by Paul.

Daniel: This isn’t even a wrestling match it’s two men beating each other up.

Max: Even I think they need to get back into ring.

Daniel: And your not even what we call… the voice of reason.

You can see Brock begin to lose consciousness. Paul takes advantage of this and puts Brocks head under his armpit. He throws his arm over his head and with tremendous strength picks up the much larger Brock Goodman and delivers a Vertical Suplex right on the floor.


Daniel: What a vertical suplex by Paul Di Natale

Max: he is getting back in the ring thank God.

Daniel: Wait what is he doing?

Paul sizes up Brock and heads for the turnbuckle. He begins to climb and finally reaches the top. He looks up to the sky and decides to turn around getting ready to deliver a flying Moonsault.

Daniel: Please don’t do it Paul. It’s not worth it

Max: He’s insane

Paul goes flying through the air as he heads directly for Brock Goodman….

Max: He’s falling from heaven!

Daniel: Ah it looks like he’s missing!

At the last moment Brock moves out of the way and Paul does not connect fully, but he does hit Brock right in the head with his left leg. This sends Brock down and out cold. Paul smiles at the unconscious Brock and tries to pick him up, but Brocks dead weight is to much… Paul thinks for a moment and decides to head for the ring. He enters the ring and demands the referee make the count.

We finally see some movement from Brock and than fans begin to cheer as he try to get up.

He gets to his feet.

Brock stumbles to the edge of the apron and stands against it for a moment to gather himself. Once he realizes what’s going on…. His face grows with devastating anger… showing signs of the Brock Goodman of old. H elides in the ring and heads right for Paul Di Natale


Max: Uh-Oh he’s mad now.

Daniel: I think he just unleashed the Beast Max.

Paul try to go on offense with a left hook but Brock blocks it. He tries a right hand and Brock blocks that two. Brock then delievers four punches right to the face of Paul to the delight of the fans. A staggered Paul throws one more punch, but Brock ducks past it and finds himself in the basic Rock Bottom stance.

Daniel: Brock is in the stanced for the modified C4 also known as the For Now… Sleep….

Max: Isn’t that the move…. That….

Daniel: Yeah.

Brock realizes what he is about to attempt and pushes Paul off of him, as if he is a diseases. He looks blank for a moment, and mutters “I’m sorry” to himself and continue to walk backwards.

Max: Here we go again…

Daniel: It’s not exactly something you brush off Max…

Brock continues his walk back but begins to hear the fans cheer his name, he looks on at them for a second. One woman screaming for Brock to go get him and some child jumping up and down in excitement. Brock finally snaps out of his daze and for a brief time… seems home. He walks back up to Paul and knees him right in the gut, sending him into a 45 degree angle. Brock then sets Paul’s head under his legs and delivers the Final Resting Place. Without hesitation he goes for the pin.

The cameras cut backstage once again, where Scorch is jumping up and down completing the final steps of his warm-up. You can almost see the anticipation on his face and feel it in his actions. The head of one of the production crew is stuck round the corner and simply nods to Scorch and Scorch nods back, knowing the moment is upon him. He gets up, quickly does the sign of the cross and heads out of his locker room where he bumps straight into The One. The One grins when he sees him.

The One: Well, fancy seeing you here.

Scorch: yeah, I know. I mean, if I didn’t have to go out there and win that title on your shoulder, I might not have even bothered turning up.

The two men share a nervous laugh.

The One: you ready to go out there and give these guys a show?

Scorch: As ready as I’ll ever be. See you out there!

The One: You can bet on it!

Scorch walks off towards the entrance, while the One holds back a bit and looks down at the title on his shoulder.

The One: you better be ready.







The screen cuts backstage. The camera moves along the corridor, showing that there are several large televisions set up at various points. In front of the televisions are several steel chairs, upon which sits almost every member of the WPW Roster. The shot pans to the televisions, revealing each one is broadcasting WPW, more specifically, about to show the WPW Title Match. The camera pans from the television to the WPW Wrestlers sat in front of it, and there, in front of the television, sits all the current WPW Champions, gloating over their wins. There is Justin Dreamer the New God of Live Champion, 2, the retainig hardcore Champion and at the back, Jamie Parker, still Florida State Champion, and in front of him sits the Judge and James Moriarty Cassius, the new WPW Tag Team Champions. The shot cuts to a luxury office where we see Carlos Gonzales sat behind a desk. The camera turns to the right to reveal another large television, and it becomes clear that Carlos is about to watch the main event. The cameraman turns to face Carlos once more before Daniel is heard opening the commentary for the Main Event, so the cameraman rotates to of the television once more, zooms in and the scene cuts to the live action as Daniel speaks.

Daniel: Did you see that Max? Every single WPW Superstar… Even Carlos himself, is watching this match!

Max: Duh, Carlos despises the One… Who can blame him for what has happened so far? And every WPW Superstar has a vested interest in who wins as this is one of them ‘Dream Matches’ we have all wanted to see!

Daniel: And you can’t call matches like that all the time?! Sheesh!

Max: It’s an art.

Daniel: … Anyway… We have had an amazing night so far for ReActivation folks, and our next match looks set to continue that trend, it is the main event, and it’s between The WPW Champion, The One and the Number One Contender, Scorch. Two guys who have a friendship between each other, a friendship that, as well as the belt, may be on the line as well!

Max: Come On Daniel! These two cannot stay friends throughout this match, especially as Scorch had the audacity to invite every single WPW wrestler out to ringside to watch him win the championship!

Daniel: They are sat in the back, ready to watch a match that will surely be one of the greats.

Max: And it was Scorch who invited them to watch the match, going so far as to audaciously declare himself the winner!

Daniel: Well, he dared to dream Max… He dared to dream!

Max: Come on, when a man declares himself the winner of a match, especially when he is up against the One, that is more than just daring to dream!

Daniel: Well… Folks, the One is looking to retain his title against all comers, and so far he has done that against his only challenger, JMC. But this time he is up against a completely new challenger; Scorch. A man who many believe to be very best of this company

Max: And hopefully, these two will beat the living snot out of each other tonight!

Daniel: Is snot really a living organism?

Max: What?! Shaddup!

Daniel: Anyway… After both men lost their respective matches last week, you woul have thought that neither of them have the momentum going into this match, but at the climax of the show last week, Scorch and One were celebrating in the ring…

Max: Despite the fact that Scorch lost…

Daniel: *Sighs* Scorch and One were celebrating in the ring when One showed how dastardly he could be when it comes to retaining his title, utilising his finisher, the God Like Drop. Scorch is bound to be looking for revenge.

Max: Yeah, Scorch was set up by One, and that has to have been dwelling in his mind since the attack.

Daniel: You might be right, but regardless, it is time to get this match underway!

The camera shifts from the ring and over to Mina. Mina gets to her feet, walks over to the timekeeper’s table and grabs a mic before walking to the ringside area. Mina climbs the ring steps and enters the ring between the bottom and middle rope before walking to the centre of the ring and bringing the mic up to her lips.

Mina: The following contest is scheduled for one-fall… It is the Main Event of the evening and it is for the WPW CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, weighing in at 240lbs and hailing from Tinley Park, Illinois, he is SCORCH-AH!

‘Blisters and Coffee’ starts and the shot moves from the ring to the top of the entrance ramp, awaiting the arrival of Scorch. However, a few moments go by and there is no sign of Scorch. The shot then pans left and right, covering the entirety of the entrance area, but still no sign of Scorch. The shot of the entrance then cuts to roving shots of the crowd, looking for Scorch. Still nothing, before the crowd erupt and the live audience begin separating like the Red Sea did when Moses brought down his staff.

Suddenly, the music cuts out, leaving the only the vocalist singing the lyric, ‘One by One/We’re Picking Them Off.’ The lyric repeats twice, and there, through the separating crowd, Scorch is finally seen! He begins moving down the steps towards the ringside area, slapping the hands of as many fans as possible as he moves. He reaches the crowd barrier, steps up onto an empty chair and steps onto the barrier, ala Sandman. Scorch then fast walks along the top of the barrier before turning to face the ring… Scorch then leaps from the barrier and onto the apron! He poses for the crowd briefly before he flips over the top rope to get in the ring. He then goes to the top of the closest turnbuckle to "strike a match." Scorch then jumps down to the canvas, turns to face the entrance and waits for The One.

Mina: And his opponent, weighing in at 245lbs and hailing from Saint Paul, Minnesota, he is the WPW Champion; this is THE ONE-AH!

The arena is plunged into total darkness… Just how deep do you believe? Will you bite the hand that feeds? Suddenly, one single white light shines down from the rafters. It focuses on The One, who is now standing in the entrance. The spotlight shrinks and focuses on the WPW Belt around his waist. One unbuckles the belt and raises it above his head, and the spotlight follows the belt, causing it to shine like a star against the blackness. Suddenly the full version of "The hand that feeds" hits the speakers and the whole arena is lit up as One begins his walk down the aisle towards the ring. He stares right at his Scorch who exits the ring as One gets to ringside. One then enters the ring by sliding in under the bottom rope. He quickly gets to his feet and moves to the first turnbuckle he sees. He climbs to the second turnbuckle and strikes the God Like Pose, while still staring down at Scorch. One then drops down from the turnbuckle, quickly turns and walks towards the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring. He climbs up to the second turnbuckle and looks towards the sky. He drops down to the canvas, walks over to the ropes and leans out between the middle and third rope. Scorch enters the ring from the opposite side to the One, making sure One was aware of his arrival. One hands the WPW Championship belt to the referee who walks over to the centre of the ring, holding the belt. The ref then beckons both One and Scorch over to him, making sure he stands between them, before showing the belt to One, and then to Scorch, before holding it aloft. The ref places the belt on the canvas before checking the One for foreign objects. He then turns to face Scorch and repeats the process of checking for foreign objects. The ref gets to his feet and bends down, picking up the belt. He straightens up and shows Scorch and the One the belt once more, before holding it above his head. The ref walks over to the ropes and beckons one of the ring crew over. The ref hands the man that came over the belt, and he takes it over to the timekeepers table, respectfully placing it upon the table. The ref signals for the bell.

DING!! DING!! DING!!

As the bell sounds, The One extends his arm forwards, hand open, looking for a handshake. Of course, Scorch is a little apprehensive, but nonetheless Scorch accepts the handshake… However, Scorch shows initiative and quickly whips One to the ropes! Scorch waits for One to rebound and he bows his head. One is able to gain control and realises Scorch has his head bowed… One then leapfrogs Scorch! One then quickly puts the brakes on, and turns to face Scorch as he straightens up. Scorch also turns around to face One, but One is a millisecond quicker than Scorch, kicking him in the midsection and grabbing his head, dropping down and connecting with a vicious DDT! The One quickly rolls Scorch onto his back and goes for a very quick pin, and hooks the leg… The ref drops down to count… 1… 2… NO! Scorch kicks out of the pin on two!

Daniel: Woah! The One went for a quick pin and almost surprised Scorch!

Max: This could the shortest title match ever, and won by, of all moves, a DDT!

Daniel: You’re right Max, one of the quickest title matches in WPW History!

Max: I just said that!

Scorch quickly gets to his feet, shocked that the One went for the quick victory and almost surprised him. Both men get to their feet and stare at each other.

Max: I think Scorch may have let his friendship with the One cloud his judgement!

Daniel: Well, after almost losing in the opening minutes, I can tell you now that friendship will be the last thing on Scorch’s mind!

Max: And the One’s!

Scorch and One advance towards each other and Scorch takes the initiative, raising both his arms, looking to engage One in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Scorch obliges and raises his arms. However, Scorch ducks beneath the One’s arms… But One turns to face Scorch at the same time Scorch turns to face him, but One, thinking he will be quicker off the mark, throws a mean right hand, but before it could connect with Scorch’s jaw, Scorch gets his left arm up, blocking the shot and quickly firing off a right hand of his own. Scorch’s punch connects with the One, staggering him backwards. One’s hand shoots to his jaw and he looks shocked. Moments later, One regains his composure as Scorch approaches him. Scorch then raises his right arm, challenging the One to a test of strength, and One gladly obliges. Both men lock up in a test of strength, but with only five pounds between them, neither man gets the quick upper hand. One attempts to push Scorch around the ring, but Scorch is making that difficult for the One. Minutes pass with neither man gaining the upper hand before the One intolerantly breaks the test of strength up, much to the chagrin of the fans. One then looks at Scorch and attempts a kick to the midsection! However, Scorch is able to catch One’s foot! With One hopping on one leg, Scorch points to him and wags his finger, and the crowd applause. During the finger wagging, One realises that he has an opportunity and swings his right arm, hoping to catch Scorch unaware however, while keeping his grip on One’s leg, Scorch simply leans backwards, avoiding any potential contact between One’s fist and Scorch’s face. One realises he missed and brings his right arm back in as Scorch leans back to where he was, before One tries throwing his left arm out, hoping to catch Scorch again, but Scorch simply leans backwards once more and One hits nothing but air. Scorch leans back in as One brings his left arm in. Scorch then looks at One, who is still hopping there, and while still holding his foot, Scorch smiles. Scorch throws One’s foot to the right, spinning the WPW champion off balance, and as One comes out of the spin, Scorch reacts quickly and lunges forwards and extends his right arm, looking to connect with a nasty clothesline, but One shows great awareness and ducks the attempted clothesline from Scorch, though he stumbles forwards as he does so as his equilibrium is slightly off from the spin. One quickly composes himself as Scorch stops himself from moving any further, and the One realises that Scorch is behind him. One, keeping his back to Scorch, steps backwards and reaches back, grabbing the back of Scorch’s head and positioning for a neck breaker. One attempts to drop down to the canvas, but Scorch throws an elbow backwards, connecting with the side of the One’s head, thus causing him to release his grip. One stumbles forwards, his equilibrium again gone, as Scorch turns to face him. One manages to stop himself from moving any further, and as Scorch advances towards him, One turns to face him, only to find himself face to face with Scorch, as Scorch quickly reaches forwards and grabs The One’s arm, before he has even finished turning to face him! Scorch quickly attempts an arm drag, but One is just able to adjust in mid-air and lands on his feet. One quickly turns to face Scorch and Scorch reacts quickly, grabbing his arm once more and attempting a hip-toss, but One shows how tenacious he can be as he is able to stabilise himself and blocks Scorch’s attempt at lifting him in to the air. One is now standing next to Scorch, with his arm still entwined with Scorch’s arm, and delivers a punch to Scorch’s abdomen that forces them to come apart as Scorch doubles over. One quickly turns to face Scorch and forces his head between his legs. One hoists Scorch up and onto his shoulders, looking for a power bomb, but Scorch shifts his weight and lands a stiff right hand to the One’s temple, knocking him off balance. Scorch realises One is off balance and attempts to take him down with a hurracanrana, but sadly for Scorch, One has stumbled back far enough to reach the top rope. One grabs the top rope and the added stability prevents Scorch from taking him down with a hurracanrana. Scorch, who bent over backwards attempting the hurracanrana, straightens up and returns to a sitting position on the One’s shoulders. The One releases his grip on the top rope and grabs Scorch around the waist, shoving him off backwards however, Scorch is able to execute a backflip and land on his feet facing the One. Scorch quickly dashes forwards, and before the One can react, Scorch kicks him in the mid-section, doubling him over, before grabbing his arm. Scorch places One’s arm over his shoulder and hoists him up and into the Suplex formation, but One kicks his feet, sending Scorch off balance. Scorch drops the One and One lands on his feet in front of Scorch, albeit slightly off balance. However, the One is quick to regain his balance and kicks Scorch in the gut before grabbing his head and positioning for a DDT, but Scorch pushes One forwards and away from him, meaning One stumbles backwards, and Scorch quickly straightens up, before following up with a roundhouse kick, but the One ducks it! The One ends up with his back to Scorch after ducking the roundhouse kick and turns quickly turns to face Scorch, using the momentum of the turn to bring his arm up and lunge forwards, looking to connect with a hard clothesline! Scorch ducks and scrambles forwards underneath the One’s arm. Scorch gets to his feet and both men, now a slight distance away from each other, turn to face each other at the same time, while assuming different fighting stances, much to the appreciative applause of the crowd.

Daniel: WOW! Some great wrestling there by both men, each showing great counters to each other!

Max: I expect nothing less after the history these men have with each other!

Daniel: I suppose you are right Max. These two men have known each other for years, after all.

Max: Exactly, so I expect them to put on a wrestling clinic.

Daniel: That’s a little unfair, expecting both men to perform that well!

Max: How so? Thus far, they have lived up to my expectations!

Daniel: Good point Max, you have been on a roll during this main event!

The stare down ensues between Scorch and the One before they dash towards each other, raise their arms and engage in a nasty collar and elbow tie-up. Scorch, being five pounds lighter than The One, is muscled around more easily by One, but that isn’t to say that Scorch fought back. The One pushes Scorch around the ring a little longer before quickly adjusting his position in relation to Scorch and One quickly places his arm between Scorch’s legs and hoisting him up and off the canvas, before bringing him down with a hard body slam. Scorch hits hard and his back arches up off the canvas as One reaches down and grabs Scorch’s head and shoulders. One quickly forces Scorch up to his feet and places his arm between his legs once more, before quickly hoisting Scorch up. One positions Scorch so that Scorch is horizontal across his chest, and it becomes obvious One is looking to drop Scorch with a falling power slam, but Scorch kicks his legs, sending the One off balance, and Scorch is able to wriggle out of the One’s grip landing on his knees in front of the One and quickly scrambling through One’s legs. Scorch quickly gets up to his feet behind the One. Scorch then reaches forwards and applies a rear waist lock, before bending backwards and bringing One over with him, sending One crashing to the canvas from a vicious German Suplex. The One lands right on his head, neck and shoulders and when One slumps down to the canvas after being released from the waist lock, his arms shoot to his neck and he writhes in pain on the canvas. Scorch quickly gets to his feet and looks down at The One. With One having rolled a distance away, Scorch advances purposefully towards One and reaches down, grabbing the One’s head and shoulders. Scorch musters his strength and forces The One up to his feet, only to throw a right hand that collides with the One’s jaw! The One stumbles backwards as Scorch brings his fist in close to his body.

Daniel: What a shot!

Max: That was a very stiff right hand there from Scorch!

Daniel: You think he is trying to send a message to the One?

Max: If it were I, I would be. I would want to intimidate the One as much as possible.

One brings his hand up to his jaw and looks irate, but he takes his focus off of Scorch as Scorch dashes over towards him. With One preoccupied with the pain in his jaw, Scorch quickly follows up with a kick to the midsection, doubling The One over. Scorch quickly wraps his arm around the head and neck of One before hoisting him up and into a vertical Suplex formation. Scorch shows great strength and determination as he lets The One hang vertical for a second or two before dropping backwards, hitting the Suplex. Scorch pops his hips and rolls up to a vertical base, bringing The One with him. Scorch hoists The One up and brings him down quicker this time, hitting a second vertical Suplex. Scorch raises his legs and pops his hips once more, bringing himself and the One up to a vertical base once more. Scorch hoists the One high and vertical once more and hits a third vertical Suplex! But Scorch isn’t done as he pops his hips again, returning both himself and the One to a vertical base. Scorch then releases the One, who stands there groggily, almost unable to defend himself. Scorch quickly places his arm between One’s legs and jerks his body in a twisting motion, bringing the One over with him and Scorch brings the One down with a hard power slam! Scorch gets up to his knees before stepping up to his feet. He moves to the One’s head and positions his arm so that his elbow is angled out towards the One. Scorch then pats his elbow before dropping the elbow across The One’s chest. The One reacts badly, coughing as though all the wind had just been knocked out of him, as Scorch quickly gets to his feet, positions the elbow and hastily drops the elbow again, this time across the face of the One. Scorch then rolls across the One, placing his back across the champion’s chest, placing the One in a pinning predicament. Scorch reaches over and hooks the leg as the ref drops down to make the count.

THR… NO!! One gets a shoulder up! Scorch quickly gets to his feet; he looks down before extending his arms forward and forcing The One up to his feet. Scorch quickly nails One with a hard right hook to the temple that disorientates the One, before Scorch ducks behind Scorch and leaps into the air and wrapping his legs around the One’s shoulders, before flipping The One with a reverse Hurracanrana. Scorch gets to a vertical base once more and plays to the crowd, firing up the live audience. Scorch then looks down at The One and grabs his arm and shoulder before yanking him up to his knees. Scorch hops over the One before sprinting towards the ropes in front of the One. Scorch builds up a big head of steam before rebounding off the ropes and charging towards the One, who looks totally defenceless… Time seems to slow down as Scorch closes in on the One, and seemingly in slow motion, Scorch leaves his feet and positions himself… Before connecting with the Spark! The One’s neck snaps backwards, almost like a whiplash effect, before he violently falls to the canvas, hitting the back of his head. Scorch gets to a stable vertical base before he looks over at the One and dashes over. Scorch drops to his knees and goes for a quick cover once more, this time neglecting to hook the leg. The ref drops down to make the cover once more.

1…

2… NO!! This time, One gets a shoulder up!

Daniel: And Scorch scores two near falls in quick succession there, following a nasty combination of moves to the One!

Max: I thought One wouldn’t kick out after that Spark! Did you see the One’s head snap backwards as Scorch connected with that Spark? I thought this one was over for sure!

Daniel: No pun intended, huh Max?

Max: Pun?

Daniel: Oh, nevermind…

Scorch rises up to his knees, not looking surprised that the One was able to get a shoulder up. He then steps up to his feet and waits, measuring the One as he struggles up to his knees. Scorch back peddles towards the nearest corner, never once taking his focus from the One as he does so. Scorch then places his foot on the bottom turnbuckle as the One gets to his feet and turns his back to the One, disorientated from the punishment he has absorbed so far. Scorch reacts quickly and turns his back to the One before quickly climbing to the top turnbuckle and turning to face the One, who turns in the direction of Scorch… Scorch then leaps from the top turnbuckle and adjusts in midair so that he is horizontal to the One, looking to hit a cross body from the top… But the One notices Scorch flying towards him and simply slumps down to the canvas, avoiding the contact! Scorch crashes and burns, hitting the canvas hard, and because the One seems unable to get to his feet, the ref steps between them, kneels down and checks both men out. He then gets to his feet, raises his arms and begins a ten count…

1…

2…

3…

Daniel: No, don’t let it end this way referee!

Max: For once, you and I are in total agreement!

4…

5… Still no movement from either man at this stage…

6… Finally, the One is the first man to show signs of life…

7… The One rolls onto his stomach, but as he doesn’t get to his feet, the referee worryingly continues his count….

8…

9… The One finally gets up to his knees before stepping up to a vertical base, breaking the ten-count just in time!

Daniel: Phew! I thought this one was over there!

Max: No pun intended, huh Daniel?

Daniel: What? Oh… Uh, no!

The crowd erupt as One gets to his feet, but this fuels Scorch as he also gets to his knees before stepping up to his feet, though he has his back to the One. Scorch groggily turns to face the One and they both slowly advance towards each other. Scorch balls his right hand into a fist and looks to connect with a right side haymaker, but the One gets his arm up and blocks it, before countering with a right hand of his own! Scorch is taken by surprise and stumbles backwards as the One advances towards him. As Scorch stops himself, One steps in and leans forward, connecting with a nasty looking head butt that catches Scorch on the tip of his nose! Scorch’s nose immediately starts pouring with blood.

Daniel: Wow! What a head butt there from the One!

Max: Yeah, he may have just broken Scorch’s nose!

Scorch’s blood streams down his face, covering his mouth as he breathes. As a result of the pouring blood, Scorch brings his hand up to his nose, dabbing at his face, and horribly, tasting his blood. Scorch pulls his hand away from his face and his eyes lock onto the blood on his hand, and they widen. Scorch has tasted, and now seen his own blood. This fires Scorch up and the One instinctively backs away before Scorch could grab him! Scorch tries anyway, but fails, so he balls his right hand into a fist and throws the soup-bowl towards the One’s face… Before the One could react, Scorch blasts him with a big time right haymaker to the face! Scorch’s fist hits the One in the nose and the lip, immediately splitting the One’s lip and giving him a bloody nose! With the blood pouring from both men’s faces, this looks like it is about to heat up!

Daniel: And what a right hand from Scorch in retaliation to that head butt Max!

Max: Yeah, Scorch caught the One right in the nose and lip! The One has a busted lip and a potentially broken nose!

Daniel: Just like Scorch!

One looks at Scorch, as Scorch looks at the One. Both men then aggressively walk towards each other, going potentially broken nose-to-potentially broken nose. Scorch then aggressively shoves the One, sending him staggering a few steps backwards. One quickly regains his balance and strides towards Scorch, who is just standing there, waiting for the One’s return. One gets closer to Scorch… And unleashes a kick to his midsection that doubles Scorch over! One quickly grabs Scorch’s head and forces it between his legs. One then wraps his arms around Scorch’s midsection and hoists him up onto his shoulders. One looks set to power bomb Scorch down to the canvas, but Scorch brings his fist down onto the One’s temple. Scorch moves quickly and bends backwards, but One stands fast. Scorch’s back ends up pressed against The One’s chest, and Scorch finds himself upside down, so One reacts quickly and moves his right arm, extending it outwards and driving his forearm into Scorch’s abdomen. One brings his arm upwards and delivers a second forearm shot to the midsection of Scorch. Scorch reacts by bending upwards slightly, and the One shows great strength as he brings Scorch back up to a seated position on his shoulders. Suddenly, One bends forward and drives Scorch down to the canvas with a huge power bomb! One then straightens up, but as he does so, he brings Scorch up with him! One quickly drops to his knees and drives Scorch down to the canvas, gaining more impact because of the drop to his knees. One, keeping Scorch’s legs over his shoulders, locks Scorch in a pinning predicament, and the referee quickly drops down to make the count…

1…

2…

Scorch barely gets a shoulder up before the three count! One grabs Scorch’s legs and throws them to the side before stepping up to his feet. One looks down at Scorch, who is now gasping for breath. One steps forwards and reaches down, grabbing Scorch’s head and shoulders, before forcing him up to his feet. One keeps Scorch almost doubled over before wrapping his arm around his head and hoisting him into the air. One quickly falls backwards and delivers a vertical Suplex to Scorch. One then pops his hips and returns both himself and Scorch to a vertical base, much like Scorch did earlier. One then hoists Scorch up for a second vertical Suplex and quickly drops backwards, connecting with a second Suplex. One pops his hips a third time and brings himself and Scorch up to a vertical base once more. However, instead of immediately hoisting Scorch up for a third vertical Suplex, One quickly adjusts his position, before hoisting Scorch up in the formation for a Northen Lights Suplex. One then drops Scorch with the Northern Lights Suplex and quickly springs up to his feet, playing up to the crowd. The crowd are loving the match and get behind the One as he walks over to Scorch’s head and reaches down. One grabs Scorch’s head and shoulders and hoists him up to his feet. One grabs Scorch’s leg and torso and twists, taking Scorch down to the canvas once more with a T-Bone Suplex! One quickly gets to his feet and dashes over to Scorch’s head and quickly stomping down on Scorch’s temple. One quickly delivers a second stomp to Scorch’s head before reaching down and forcing him up to his feet. One grabs Scorch’s head and doubles him over once more, before hoisting him up for an attempted Brainbuster. Attempted Brainbuster, because Scorch has the wherewithal to kick his legs this time, thus sending One slightly off balance, resulting in him losing his grip on Scorch. Scorch manages to land in front of the one and quickly straightens up… Only to be met with a stiff kick to the midsection that doubles Scorch over. One quickly wraps his arm around Scorch’s head and drops down to the canvas, nailing a devastating DDT! Scorch hits hard and rolls onto his stomach, as One gets to his knees. One realises the DDT has taken Scorch totally out of it, and One drapes himself across Scorch’s chest, looking for a cover. The ref drops down to make the count…

1…

2…

THR… NO!! Scorch gets his shoulder up!

Daniel: A close near fall for the One there, Max!

Max: You don’t say… I am watching the same match as you, Daniel!

Daniel: I’m just calling the action as I see it Max!

One gets raises out of the pin and up to his knees. He then steps up to his feet and looks down at Scorch, before moving to his head and reaching down. One forces Scorch up and into a seated position on the canvas, and it becomes clear that Scorch doesn’t quite know where he is, following that DDT. The One seizes the opportunity and quickly moves behind Scorch. One kneels down, bends his arm and places the crook of his right arm around Scorch’s chin while wrapping his left arm around the top of Scorch’s head, locking him into a sleeper hold. Scorch struggles against the hold, but he begins fading… Fading… But then he gets a sudden burst of energy, a second wind. Scorch is able to fight up to his knees… He then musters all his strength and is able to get to one knee, looking to get to his feet… but as Scorch gets up to one knee, the One tightens his grip on the sleeper hold and adjusts his weight, sending Scorch back down to his knees, before eventually dropping him down to the canvas in a sitting position once more, and Scorch begins fading again…

Daniel: And The One showing just how tenacious he can be here with that Sleeper Hold!

Max: Woah, I’ll say! Scorch looks about ready to pass out!

Daniel: I wouldn’t count Scorch out if I were you, Max!

The live audience is chanting… But for both men! The crowd seem conflicted between Scorch and The One, cheering for both men. Lets go Scorch! Clap, Clap, Clap! Lets go One! Clap, Clap, Clap! The chanting of the crowd seems to be working in Scorch’s favour as he is able to fight up to his knees once more… And yes! Scorch manages to get to his feet, but he is doubled over as a result of the sleeper hold… The One shows more of that tenacity that got him the WPW Championship and kicks Scorch in the joint of the legs, the back of the knee, sending Scorch back down to his knees. The One cinches the sleeper hold, and Scorch drops to a seated position once more. The ref dashes over to Scorch and The One and kneels down next to Scorch before grabbing his right arm and lifting it up into the air… … The ref releases Scorch’s arm and Scorch’s arm drops… … Scorch’s arm hits the canvas and the ref grabs his hand again, before lifting it once more… … The ref releases Scorch’s arm… And it drops to the canvas for a second time. The ref signals to the timekeeper that the match will end if Scorch’s arm drops once more, and he lifts Scorch’s arm up once more… … The ref releases Scorch’s arm… … … … Scorch’s arm drops… … … But Scorch stops his arm, inches from the canvas! The crowd erupt as Scorch begins struggling against the One! Scorch gets up to his knees, and the look on the One’s face says all as he struggles to force Scorch back down. Scorch manages to get to one knee, but he is still fighting against One… Scorch then makes it to his feet, but he remains doubled over as One relentlessly keeps his grip. Scorch is able to position himself so that his right side is to The One’s midsection and Scorch throws an his right elbow into the ribs of One, but The One refuses to release the hold… So Scorch throws a second elbow… And a third… Finally, on the fourth elbow, The One releases Scorch, who straightens up and takes off towards the ropes… The One reaches out and tries to prevent Scorch from taking off, but it is to no avail as Scorch has taken off for the ropes at top speed! One then doubles over, winded from the multiple elbow strikes to the ribs, as Scorch rebounds off the ropes. Scorch hurtles towards the One as he straightens up… And Scorch connects with a big time running clothesline that flips the One inside-out! One hits the canvas hard, facedown. The ref dashes over to check on the One, and Scorch takes advantage of the break and doubles over, positioning his arms on his legs, taking the opportunity to recover from the sleeper hold he was locked in for so long.

Daniel: What velocity there from Scorch! Did you see the speed he achieved before connecting with that clothesline?

Max: Yeah, but did you see the One? He flipped like an omelette!

Daniel: Yeah, that was a huge clothesline!

Max: So, what the hell is Scorch doing? Go for the pin!

Daniel: He is obviously taking time to recover from the sleeper hold! It had to take a lot out of him!

Max: SO! He has a chance to win the match, yet he is recovering!

Daniel: Will you shut up Max? Scorch is wrestling the match his way!

Max: …

Scorch straightens up, still feeling the effects of the sleeper hold, and looks down at The One. One rolls onto his stomach and pushes himself up onto his knees, only to be met with a stiff right-handed shot to the jaw from Scorch, knocking One down to a sitting position. One rolls to his left and up onto his knees again, only for Scorch to attempt a second stiff punch to the jaw, but One is able to grab Parkers hand before it connects. One follows up by pushing griping Scorch’s hand, jerking him forwards and knocking him off balance. One releases Scorch and takes the opportunity to get to his feet, and he and Scorch once again stare at each other. Both men slowly advance towards each other and Scorch looks to initiate a collar-and-elbow tie up, but as he raises his arms, leans in and attempts a headbutt… But Scorch quickly sidesteps the One and dashes behind him. Scorch reaches forwards and grabs Parker’s head, pulling him into bending backwards. Scorch then hoists the One into the air, looking to hit a reverse vertical Suplex, but One is able to adjust, kick his feet and land in front of Scorch, albeit with his back to Scorch. One quickly leans backwards and grabs Scorch’s head and twists, attempting to hit a neckbreaker… But Scorch keeps the twist going, taking One off balance. One ends up the worse for wear following the twist, and ends up with his back to Scorch again. Scorch then leaps into the air and wraps his legs around the shoulders of One and attempts a reverse hurracanrana… But One is able to stand his ground, weathering the storm, so to speak. After Scorch bends backwards and fails to flip One over with a reverse Hurracanrana, he straightens up and sits on One’s shoulders, before balling his right hand into a fist. However, One is able to react before Scorch could connect with a right hand and throws his head backwards, catching Scorch off guard with a head butt to the midsection! Scorch loses his balance atop the One’s shoulders and his legs loosen. However, before he could fall backwards, the One reaches up and grabs Scorch’s legs. One then adjusts Scorch’s position, setting him up for the Alabama Slam… And BAM! Just like that, the One is back in control! The One connects with the Alabama Slam and looks down at the fallen Scorch before moving to Scorch’s side and striking the God… Like… Pose! The crowd erupt in appreciation as the One leaps into the air, positioning his knee on the way down, and driving it into Scorch’s midsection! One scrambles off of Scorch and quickly goes for the cover. The referee drops down to make the count…

Daniel: And the One could get the surprise victory here Max!

Max: I know! That was so quick there from the One!

Daniel: It’s no wonder he is the champion!

1…

2…

3… … NO!

Scorch just gets a shoulder up in time! One rises up to his knees as the referee gets to his feet. One stares at the ref and rises up to his feet. One then steps over Scorch and walks menacingly towards the ref, shocked that Scorch was able to get his shoulder up. The One uncharacteristically argues with the referee, giving Scorch valuable recovery time.

Daniel: And One is surprisingly arguing with the ref!

Max: Are you surprised? That pin-fall should have got the WPW Champion the win right there, but the slow count denied him!

Daniel: Max… You’re unbelievable sometimes!

Max: Thank you Daniel!

Daniel: I meant that in a bad way Max!

One argues with the referee, thus distracting him from Scorch as Scorch slowly gets up to his knees, and stepping up to one knee, before placing his left arm on his knee and pushing himself up to his feet. Scorch glances around the ring and notices the One has his back to him… So Scorch darts forwards and quickly wraps his arms around The One’s waist, catching him unaware… Scorch attempts a German Suplex, but The One shows great awareness and wraps his right leg around Scorch’s right leg, thus preventing the attempted German Suplex! Scorch releases the One and he stumbles forwards, past the referee and close to the ropes. Scorch quickly to a stable base as the One turns to face Scorch, and before One has time to react, Scorch is already leaping into the air. Scorch wraps his legs around The One’s head and shoulders, looking to hit a hurracanrana… But One shows great ring savvy and prevents the attempted hurracanrana by quickly extending his arm and grabbing the top rope, cancelling out the leverage Scorch has gained by being quick enough to catch the One slightly off guard. With the hurracanrana successfully prevented, One gets some confidence removes his hand from the top rope before hoisting Scorch back up and onto his shoulders. The One reacts quickly; looking to power bomb Scorch, however, Scorch is just a fraction of a second quicker and rains rights and lefts down onto The One’s head! One stumbles forwards and away from the ropes, taken off balance by the sudden impacts to his head… And Scorch follows up with a hurracanrana that drops The One right on his head! Scorch quickly gets to his feet, experiencing a rush of adrenaline! The crowd erupt in anticipation of what is to come!

Daniel: Listen to the crowd Max! They know that Scorch could be on the verge of winning here!

Max: And a new WPW Champion would be fantastic in my books!

Daniel: As well as being fantastic for Carlos as well!

One slowly gets up to his feet, but he is a bit unsteady he stands there and turns to face Scorch, who charges towards him. Scorch extends his right arm and connects with a running clothesline that takes One down, though not flipping him, however, it doesn’t keep One down for long as One is quickly rolls up to his knees before getting back up to his feet. Scorch dashes forwards again and looks for a second clothesline, and connects, sending the One back down to the canvas, but the One is back up to hs feet quickly, though he has his back to Scorch. One turns to face Scorch and is met with the sight of Scorch charging towards him again, arm extended and looking to hit a third clothesline, but the One ducks it. Thinking he will have the upper hand, One quickly straightens up and turns to face Scorch… Only to be met with a tremendous right hook from Scorch! One stumbles backwards slightly, holding his jaw.

Daniel: What a haymaker from Scorch, right to the jaw!

Max: That was a tremendous shot!

Scorch smiles and advances towards One. Scorch grabs The One’s arm and Scorch twists his body, sending the One down to the canvas with an arm-drag. This doesn’t keep One down long as he rolls to his knees and gets to his feet, though One has his back to Scorch. The One turns to face Scorch and is immediately taken off the canvas with a second arm drag! One skids along the canvas briefly before quickly rolling to his knees and up to his feet, only to be lifted off the canvas again by a hip toss, courtesy of Scorch! The One slides across the canvas again as Scorch advances towards him. One then rolls onto his stomach and up to his knees, before getting to his feet, his arm crocked towards his back. Scorch is relentless as he spins The One round to face him. Scorch quickly places his arm between The One’s legs and hoists him into the air… But the One is able to quickly kick his legs. Unfortunately for the One, Scorch is showing the determination required to become a champion and relentlessly holds onto the One, before bring One down hard to the canvas, delivering a scoop slam! The One lets out a cry of agony as his back is once again punished from another impact on the canvas. The One rolls onto his hands and knees and begins crawling away from Scorch, towards the ropes. But Scorch grabs the One’s ankle, preventing him from getting away. Scorch then grabs the arm of the One and yanks him backwards and into a sitting position. Scorch quickly jabs the One in the back of the head before reaching forwards and grabbing the One’s head and shoulders. Scorch attempts to yank the one up to his feet, via his head and shoulders, but Scorch’s hands slide right off the One’s chrome dome as a result of the amount of perspiration that both he and the One are covered in. Scorch straightens up and smiles, seeing the funny side to what just happened.

Max: HAHAHAHA!!! Scorch lost his grip! What an idiot!

Daniel: Well, both men have been giving it their all tonight, and the sweat upon their bodies is just proof of that!

However, before the One is given a chance to react, Scorch quickly reaches down and pulls the One up to his feet, using the One’s wristbands as grip. Scorch quickly kicks One in the midsection and gets into the Suplex formation, hoisting The One up dropping him with a quick vertical Suplex! One lets out another pained yell as his back is once more targeted by Scorch. One rolls onto his stomach once more, turns to face Scorch and gets to his knees, attempting to back peddle away, while pleading for Scorch not to come any closer, all while waving his right arm. Scorch looks down at The One and smiles before advancing towards him. The One who still has his right arm extended, is easy prey for Scorch, who moves quickly and grabs The One’s right arm and, using the wrist tape for grip, physically yanks The One up to his feet. The One starts backtracking away from Scorch, looking for a break, only to find himself stopped by the ropes. The One pleads with Scorch, asking for a time-out, but Scorch whips The One to the opposite ropes. Scorch positions himself for One’s rebound… And as The One rebounds off the ropes, Scorch grabs him and twists, nailing a devastating power slam! Scorch stays on top of The One and hooks the leg…

1…

2…

3… … NO! One gets a shoulder up off the canvas just in time to prevent the three-count! Scorch quickly gets to his feet and finds himself arguing with the referee, screaming that it should have been a three count. This gives the One a little time to recover and get his breath back. One slowly rolls onto all fours and up to his knees, but unfortunately for him, Scorch realises the error of his ways and turns to face the One, realising that the One is up and on his knees. With The One on his knees, Scorch charges forwards and jumps slightly into the air, bringing his knee up… And Scorch connects with the Spark, right to the temple of the One! One slumps down to the canvas, face up, and Scorch quickly gets to his feet. Scorch then dashes over to the nearest turnbuckle and slowly climbs up to the top turnbuckle. The time it takes Scorch to get to the top buys The One a little recovery time as he slowly moves his head to get his bearings. One realises that Scorch has climbed to the top and essentially plays possum, waiting for Scorch to attempt his move… Scorch positions himself on the top turnbuckle and looks down at the One, failing to realise that the One’s position has changed slightly… Scorch then leaps into the air, looking to crash down upon the One with a flying body splash… But One rolls onto his back and out of danger! Scorch comes crashing down and hits nothing but canvas! Scorch rears upwards, holding his midsection briefly before slumping face down to the canvas. The referee realises he has no choice but to administer the ten count, so he moves between Scorch and the One and raises his arm, signalling the ‘One’ count.

1…

2…

3…

4…

5… One pushes himself up and onto all fours and crawls towards Scorch, thus breaking the ten count. He crawls closer and closer to the face down Scorch and rolls him onto his back. One then weakly flops across Scorch’s chest, engaging a pinning predicament. The ref drops down to make the count…

1…

2…

3… … … NO! Scorch gets a shoulder up once more! One pushes himself up to his knees. He is feeling the effects of exhaustion following what has happened in the match so far. One crawls over to the ropes and pulls himself up to his feet… And immediately falls back down to the canvas. Meanwhile, Scorch has rolled onto his stomach and up to all fours, crawling over to the ropes as well. He reaches the ropes and begins pulling himself up, much like One just did. However, also using the ropes to once again pull himself up to hi feet, is the One. Scorch hauls himself up to a vertical base and quickly scans the ring. He realises that The One is also using the ropes as leverage to get to his feet and Scorch slowly walks over towards the One…

Daniel: And Scorch looks to continue the match folks! There is just no quit in either of these men!

Max: I agree, both these men have left it all in the ring for the sake of the WPW Championship!

Daniel: That’s very unlike you Max!

Scorch walks over towards One as One stumbles forwards and away from the ropes. Suddenly, Scorch both men engage in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Both men drop to their knees at the same time, before balancing their weight off of each other to get up to their feet. One then breaks the collar-and-elbow tie up, and with Scorch thrown off balance by the One, One moves as quickly as he can and grabs Scorch's head. One turns to face the ropes and, moving as quickly as he can, One throws Scorch to the outside. One quickly turns his back to Scorch and drops to one knee, hoping for a break, but much like last week, the One doesn’t realise Scorch held onto the top rope. Scorch hangs from the top rope for what seems like an eternity before he eventually skins the cat, much to the appreciation of the crowd. Scorch lands on his feet in the ring and drops to one knee, before slowly getting up to his feet and turning to face One. Scorch then walks over to the One and grabs his head, gripping as tightly as he can and turning to face the ropes, bringing the One along for the ride. Using as much strength as he can muster, Scorch attempts to return the favour, lifting One off the canvas and sending him over the top to the outside… Somehow though, The One is able to adjust and land on the apron. However, he seems unsteady at first, before getting his balance. Scorch reacts quickly to The One landing on the apron and quickly engages a collar-and-elbow tie up with the One, over the ropes, before lifting him into the air, Suplex style and looking to drop him down to the canvas outside. However, One kicks his legs, lands on the apron and, keeping his grip on Scorch in the collar-and-elbow-tie up, One hoists Scorch up and into the air, looking to connect with a Suplex of his own… But Scorch kicks his legs and drops down to the canvas. Scorch then quickly breaks the collar-and-elbow tie-up, backs up slightly while balling his hand into a fist and throwing a right handed haymaker out… But the One ducks the punch and drops down to the arena floor. One doubles over and places his hands on his thighs for a moment before straightening up… But that moment was all that Scorch needed as he places his hands on the top rope and throws himself over the top, adjusting in mid air as the One straightens up. One realises that Scorch has come soaring over the top rope a little too late, and Scorch lands on the One’s shoulders in a sitting position. The momentum of Scorch landing on the One’s sends One into a spin, and Scorch utilises the momentum generated to take the One down with a hard hurracanrana to the floor! One hits hard and slides along the thin crash mat briefly as Scorch lands on his feet, but drops to one knee. Scorch then pushes himself up to his feet and walks over to the One, as the ref begins the ten count.

1… Scorch closes the gap between the One and himself…

2… Scorch moves to the One’s head and reaches down…

3… Scorch then forces the One up to a vertical base and grabs the back of his head, while keeping a grip on his arm…

4… Scorch muscles the One over to the ring before rolling the One into the ring under the bottom rope and following him into the ring, breaking up the ten count. The One rolls almost to the middle of the ring and stops on his back, as Scorch slides in and uses the ropes as he gets to his feet. Scorch walks over to the One and drops down, making a poor attempt at a cover. The ref dives down to make the count…

1…

2…

3… … … NO!! One BARELY gets his shoulder off the canvas. Scorch gets up to his knees and his hands shoot to his head, he can’t believe that he hasn’t pinned the One yet.

Daniel: Scorch came so close again to pinning the One!

Max: I love this match! Both men are giving it their all to call themselves the WPW Champion! I don’t want it to end!

Daniel: I am with you Max! Wait… What the hell is this?!

Daniel is right to question what the hell is going on, as Carlos Gonzales steps through the curtain. He immediately walks to the right of the entrance and gestures with his right arm. Moments later, WPW Royalty emerge from the entrance curtain. Judge, JMC and the Royal Knight form a line, horizontally across the top of the ramp. The three of them stand there, looking down at the ring. However, in the ring, Scorch hasn’t noticed Carlos sending in the troops, so to speak. Scorch then gets to his feet and collapses against the ropes, and it is only the ropes that keep Scorch vertical. Royalty then look over at Carlos and he nods, effectively giving them the signal they were waiting for. Royalty then slowly walk towards the ring, and the crowd erupt in boos. However, the boos turn to cheers as the Royalty get halfway down the ramp. The reason for the cheers become known, as SiNN is charging down from the entrance, coming up fast behind the Royalty. SiNN charges straight into Royal Knight, sending him staggering forwards, and this gets the attention of JMC and the Judge. Judge and JMC quickly focus on SiNN, while in the ring, Scorch drops down to one knee, still unaware of the Royalty almost at ringside. Meanwhile, SiNN is putting up a valiant effort against the three members of Royalty, but it’s a numbers game, and soon enough, JMC, Judge and RK get the upper hand against SiNN, knocking him down to the ramp and stomping a mud hole in him. Suddenly, Judge and JMC are sent sprawling forwards, as a result of Jason Bennett and Jamie Parker charging down the ramp! Jamie and Jason occupy Judge and JMC, exchanging punches with each other, as Royal Knight continues the fight with SiNN, who is getting to his feet. SiNN gets to his feet and RK throws a right hand… But SiNN blocks it and begins punching RK, unloading on him and forcing him backwards up the ramp. Meanwhile, Jason and Jamie are exchanging punches with Judge and JMC, before both Jamie and Jason block punches from the Judge and JMC. Bennett and Parker then open up on Judge and JMC, laying punch after punch into them and backing them up against the crowd rail. Meanwhile, SiNN and Royal Knight have fought all the way up the entrance ramp and SiNN drives Royal Knight into the set of the entrance, face first! RK is dazed and SiNN grabs the back of his head before dragging him to the entrance curtain and literally throwing him through it. Suddenly, Jason and Jamie are seen charging forwards, and they nail Judge and James with stereo clotheslines that send them all over the crowd barrier and sprawling on the floor the other side. Jason and Jamie are first to their feet, and they reach down and force Judge and James up to a vertical base, but JMC and Judge snap out of their dazed state and J & J tee off against J & J, all four J’s exchanging punches with each other and fighting into the crowd. Minutes pass before Jason, Jamie, Judge and James all disappear into the sea of humanity that makes up the WPW Audience. The shot rotates back to the ringside area as Carlos is fuming. He walks down the ramp towards the ring.

Daniel: Look at the look on Carlos face…

Max: I wouldn’t want to be Scorch or the One right now!

Meanwhile, in the ring, Scorch has regained his faculties and is standing up without the support of the ropes. The One also gets to his feet, and the two look like they are about ready to lock horns… When Carlos slides into the ring. It is only when Carlos stands up that he realises Scorch and the One are about to fight, and he quickly slides out of the ring, looking up at Scorch and the One, who stare down at him, wondering why he is out there. One looks to Scorch and Scorch looks at the One before shrugging his shoulders and holding his arms up, signifying he has no idea.

Max: The One has just twigged! Scorch has made a deal with Carlos!

Daniel: I don’t believe that for a second! Scorch’s body language is that of a man who does not know!

Max: Don’t give me that! Scorch had this planned all along!

Scorch again shrugs his shoulders as the One drops to his knees and rolls out of the ring, under the bottom rope. Carlos notices the One has left the ring and realises he is about to get hurt, so Carlos does the only thing he can… Run away. Around the ring. In the ring though, Scorch does exactly what the One did, dropping down and rolling out under the bottom rope. Carlos does not notice Scorch exit the ring, and Scorch positions himself right in Carlos’ path. The WPW Owner doesn’t realise he is about to come face to face with Scorch, and keeps running from the One… And runs right into Scorch! Carlos falls right onto his arse, but quickly gets to his feet and turns his back to Scorch… And comes face to face with the One! Carlos backs up, right into Scorch! Carlos realises he has nowhere to go and the One raises his fist, about to strike the owner… But One throws a punch and pulls it just short of Carls’ face! Carlos freezes up for a second before trying to get away… By sliding into the ring! One and Scorch react quickly and grab the waist band of Carlos’ trousers… But the squirming owner gets free of their grasp… After wiggling out of his trousers! Carlos gets to his feet and finds that his trousers are in the hands of the WPW Champion and his challenger. The red colour in Carlos’ face intensifies until it is crimson! He points at both Scorch and the One, screaming obscenities at them!

Daniel: Oh my god…

Max: This… Is…

The One and Scorch, both with one hand on Carlos’ trousers, rip them in two! Carlos is standing in the middle of the ring, with no trousers on, in black boxer shorts emblazoned with gold crowns! He is fuming, and as the One enters the ring, Carlos dashes towards him and squares up to him, puffing his chest out. The One smiles at Carlos as Scorch enters the ring, and as One tries to get past Carlos, Carlos makes the mistake of shoving the One, pushing him right in the chest! The One looks down at his chest, at the point where Carlos pushed him, and looks up at Carlos. Carlos immediately backs down and attempts to back peddle away from the One… And Carlos backs up into Scorch! Carlos heart visibly sinks as he realises he has no place to go… And the One steps forwards and kicks Carlos in the gut before hoisting him up onto his shoulder… Seconds later, the One nails Carlos with the God… Like… Drop! The crowd erupt as One gets to his feet and looks down at the fallen body of Carlos, while Scorch slowly moves behind the One…

Daniel: What a night for the owner of WPW! First he gets de-pantsed, and now he just fell victim to the God… Like… Drop!

Max: But keep your eye on Scorch, he is moving behind the One!

With One’s attention focused on the downed Carlos Gonzales, the One doesn’t notice Scorch walk behind him. The One then looks up at where he believes Scorch is standing, and notices nobody there… Suddenly, the One is spun round and taken off balance before Scorch reaches forwards and grabs the One’s arm, setting up for the Ignitor… The One fights against Scorch, trying to escape his grip. The One counters with a kick to the gut and, quick as a flash, lifts Scorch up onto his shoulder. He strikes a God Like Pose, the set up to the God Like Drop. But suddenly, Scorch drops down behind The One, twists his arm and nails One with the Ignitor! Scorch quickly covers the One and hooks the leg, and the ref drops down to make the count…

1…

2… … …

3… … … YES!!

Scorch has just pinned the One! The ref gets to his feet and signals for the bell as ‘Blisters and Coffee’ hits.

DING!! DING!! DING!!

Scorch gets to his feet, almost in shock that he scored the pinfall, and it sinks in when the referee raises his hand for the win. On the outside, a member of staff grabs the belt from the timekeeper’s table and brings the WPW Championship over to the ring as the referee releases Scorch’s hand and goes to collect the belt. As if on instinct alone, the One kicks out, but it is too late as the referee retrieves the belt from the member of staff and turns to face Scorch. At this moment, the reality of the situation sinks into Scorch and Scorch drops to his knees as the referee approaches him with the belt. The referee then hands Scorch the belt and Scorch extends his arms forward and buries his head into the belt as Mina gets up from her seat to announce the winner.

Mina: Here is your winner, and new WPW CHAMPION… SCORCH-AH!!

The crowd erupt at the announcement of the winner, and Scorch rises up to his feet and raises the WPW Championship aloft, to the deafening cheers of the crowd. He then walks over to the nearest corner, and as he does so, Kayla comes dashing down from the back. The referee assists the One up to his feet, and the One, using the referee as a stabiliser of sorts, walks slowly over to Scorch, who stops celebrating…

Max: Ooh, things look like they could get heated right now!

Daniel: I hope not, it would ruin the match!

One looks Scorch up and down, with Kayla looking on… One contemplates briefly… And extends his arm forwards, hand open, offering a handshake. Scorch looks down at the One’s hand and accepts the handshake! The crowd cheer for the sportsmanship being shown in the ring and when the handshake comes to an end, the referee assists the One over to the ropes as Scorch climbs to the second turnbuckle. The referee helps the One onto the apron and assists him as he climbs down to the arena floor. Kayla dashes forwards as the One straightens up and throws her arms around him, embracing him. The One gingerly embraces her back, and then the One and Kayla look up at Scorch for a moment, as he celebrates on the second turnbuckle, before turning their back to him and slowly walking up the ramp. The One and Kayla walk up the ramp and disappear behind the curtain as the shot rotates back to Scorch as he jumps down to the canvas and raises the belt above his head.

Daniel: Scorch has done it here tonight! Ladies and gentlemen, Scorch is the NEW WPW CHAMPION!

Max: Did you have to shout?!

Daniel: Yes Max, yes I did! Max: At least Carlos is going to be happy that the title is no longer around the waist of the One!

Daniel: You may be right Max, but after what happened with Scorch recently, and more importantly, during the match, how long will Carlos want the title around the waist of Scorch?

Max: That’s a good observation Daniel, and I think it is safe to assume that Carlos will want to get that title off of Scorch as soon as he can!

Daniel: When he regains consciousness, of course!

Max: I was just about to say that!

Daniel: Well folks, WPW ReActivation has been an amazing night, we have seen new champions crowned and the owner and his super-group embarrassed, but not after claiming the WPW Tag Team Titles. What repercussions will this have for us? Join us next week to find out! For Max Stockton, I am Daniel Justice, saying goodnight!

Scorch continues celebrating with the belt as the shot rotates around the ring, before coming to a stop on Carlos, unconscious and laid out in his boxer shorts. The shot pans out to show both Scorch and Carlos, and the show ends on Scorch celebrating and Carlos unconscious.

[APostingGod]

Well I mostly skimmed so far, and read some of the tag and then The World title match. Got to be honest, doesn't feel bad to lose because Scorchy deserves it and I now it feels good right now. Enjoy it my friend! I will be seeing you about my rematch soon! Until then, take it in Champ... your number 1 and that's a hell of a feeling.

[legendaryken]

Yeah, just skimmed (after midnight here) but I'm astonished that we lost, yet I think I know why - that fortune cookie was correct - 'Your flies are undone' - no, not that one - 'Big changes ahead for the Jokester' - yeah, that one.
Quality looks fine and dandy at first glance apart from a couple of typos in my match (yeah, I see them now. Jeez, that's annoying - I can't count down from eight properly)
Props to all concerned.
Anyway, full inspection tomorrow, sorry, later today

[The Judge]

Hell fucking yes.

I've never wanted a win so badly in my life, and knowing how bad Neo and Duff wanted it too, I feel pretty damn good right now. Will read the entire show later.

I want to say thanks to Duff and Neo though for putting forth such great RPs too. It's amazing, if you really think about it, that we did a 3 page RP thread between 4 people, and all four of us also wrote matches... Well Duff wrote segments, but it's the same amount of work.

As to why you lost, like I said I will always answer anyone who asks, it was simply because AFS curved the edge for the win just-ever-so-slightly. It was a close match like all the matches this week, but if you can say the game was tied until the 9th, then AFS bunted in the winning run, and Hendrickson was just slightly more of a solid partner to his team than JBB. It was close, but definitive at the same time.

And yes, the forture cookie was correct.

[Gravity]

Show looks good at first glance. I'm kicking myself for misreading the date ATM, I thought I still had a week. Well fuck, show still looks rather solid, I'll give it a full read later.

[Duff]

Of course, this would the point where i come in and bitch and moan about how unfair everything is, and complain about the loss of my beloved tag titles.

Except, that would be totally pointless and would only detract from a deserved victory. We lost the match, and i'd like to think we did it putting up a great figjt. Taking part in that RP thread was both a pleasure and a misery. A pleasure because it was great to be a part of, misery because every time i saw a new RP we fell just a little bit further behind. Sincere congrats to Promy and Judge, i hope we can repeat that for our rematch :D

Congratulations also to Dreamer on winning the GoL, to Hendrickson and AFS on their victory and to AFS again for retaining the HC title. At least somebody was able to win both their matches. Also, congrats to RK on putting up a hell of a fight to win the FL title, i imagine i know what let you down, but that would only be speculation.

Supreme congrats also go to Scorch on taking the big one. you're now the number 1 guy in this fed, you've earned it and you're now gonna ahve to work twice as hard to keep it cos every single guy in this place is gonna be looking at you when the ToC kicks off.

[Prometheus]

Well my turn to do the ussual go around

Firstly to those in the match I wrote. I hope i did it jsutice. I rea read the thign a fair few times after savign it on my computer. It was one of the few amtche si did that I actually quite enjoyed. Only put off by having to choose a winner.

Second to Judge. Thanks for being a great partner. This is my first ever real tag team and my first ever tag belt.. And another thanks to Duff and Neo. You two really brought out the best in me this week and I'm just so thankful to both of you that you did.

And congrats too to Justin for rgaining his title. Jede for going up agaisnt very tough competition in my opinion. And especially to Scorch. You've joined our little club of champs now!

[Shadows]

I only read my match right now, will try to read the rest of the show later.

I'm severely disappointed I lost, but I guess AFS deserves the win. I personally couldn't tell from our promos, but if he won the match, I guess he must deserve the win. Congrats.

[Aperama]

Well yeah, I agree with the result to all of the matches. Well, except that Chris Cage shoulda won the HC title (obv.) Good work, AFS, maybe next time when I'm not puking my guts up I'll be able to challenge you for that belt again!

The entire show was good to read. Well, I'll admit, the main event was a little scatterbrained at times (the first paragraph went a little long, and.. well.. lemme get a couple of examples just for hilarity's sake - I'm not badmouthing, I just found 'em funny) -


Scorch quickly nails One with a hard right hook to the temple that disorientates the One, before Scorch ducks behind Scorch and leaps into the air and wrapping his legs around the One’s


only for Scorch to attempt a second stiff punch to the jaw, but One is able to grab Parkers hand before it connects.
(Same paragraph!)

But Scorch quickly sidesteps the One and dashes behind him. Scorch reaches forwards and grabs Parker’s head, pulling him into bending backwards.

But really, as stated, I'm just foolin' around. It was good to read, had good detail, and about the only match that perhaps seemed a little lacking was Goodman v Dinatale (and the reason why was painfully obvious). Heck, I read the thing, might as well give a full review.

Dreamer v Twiztid
A solid opener. It didn't try to have a thousand false finishes, it had a story, and the match itself felt like it flowed, textually. This is almost exactly what you're looking for in an opener - but it also felt like just that, an opener. Still, about a 7/10 (openers shouldn't have false finishes, IMO).

Tokestermath v Genuine Articles and.. well, SiNN, but I'm just going to go with the graphic and say Desmond Troy
I was really hyped after that opener. I mean, it just felt like it was, y'know.. right? It gets the crowd going, the whole kit 'n kaboodle. I understand that this was obviously an attempt to develop a bit of a story with JBB turning, but it kinda felt a little tainted for a match on a PPV. It was essentially saved by good writing, however, and as such it was a (hard-fought) 6/10 or so.

Hardcore.. multi.. dingaling.. fireball.
Well, this was certainly an entertaining read. So maybe it wasn't the best match per se - in fact, one might even say, "at all", given that it did involve eight or so people who didn't really seem to be there for much more than the sake of being there, and it also had a definitive finish which didn't feel like it was just buildup to more story (as in, the match had a story of its own, however silly, and left the obvious leadin for another, something the match before it failed in somewhat.) However, the match referenced Mark Henry and X-Pac, and failed to reference Steve Blackman (the one and the only veteran of this match type), as such, it's a 7/10 for 3 deducted points. Sorry, Ken.

Florida State. How is the state of Florida, anyway?
A solid match, again. I felt slightly jaded reading this one, knowing that it was doubtlessly going to kinda be leadin to the following match, but it did manage to maintain my interest, despite itself. The selling point of the "leg DDT" by Jesse kinda failed me somewhat, was kinda looking for something with a little more bite I 'spose, but it was still effective in its own right (I guess.) I dunno. As previously stated, I kinda hate obvious leadin styled matches, so this match was already looking at probably, oh, max 8/10, but probably about 7/10 due to some confusing bits (I had to reread at points to get an idea of where everyone was, particularly during the announcer's table bit. Though once reread, it made sense.)

Super Terrific Tag Division Extreme Title Warfare
This match flowed well - it played like the "almost handicap" match really should. But at the same time, it didn't feel cheap, which is why I usually don't like "leadin" or "story" matches. That said, I knew the finish right from the word go, I felt, so.. yeah. That and the fact it was J&J v J&J for silliness abound, 9/10.

Goodman v DiNatale: A Grudge to end all.. polio virus
Yawnity yawnity yawn. It was.. yawn. Seriously, though, I just.. couldn't get into it. Are all Goodman matches gonna be like this from now on? 'Cause if so, I'm going to be really bored reading them from now on, to be perfectly frank. 4/10 - this match shouldn't have been the semi-main.

Scorch v The One
Thankfully, the main event was in the right place. As stated before, the writing felt a little cluttered, and that hurt it just a touch IMO, though not enough to become problematic. I also would've liked to know why, being a newcomer and all (this is where you use commentary!!) SiNN, a guy who teamed with heels just moments before, is helping out against the Royalty. I mean, obviously, a hundred other guys you coulda slotted in here (hell, 2 would've fit better - have him come out with a weapon, "HE FOUGHT ME WITH HONOUR, YOU'RE GOING TO RESPECT ONE YOUR FACE" or something) - but yeah, otherwise, this was really, really solid. Overall, though, 9/10.

Segments
At least El Pollo got a place on the card. 9/10. (Beno is so much more worthy than Jeremiah Ranks. I'm telling you. Seven secret herbs and spices on a pole match. Ratings.)

Overall show ranking?
Why not. 8/10. With the exception of the disappointing Goodman/Dinatale bout (I'm not saying there's no reason for it, but it was disappointing nonetheless) - this was a good show, and everything for the most part really flowed. Well done, guys.

[Scorch]

I just read the last line and let me say, Ryan be proud of your reign. I hope a new one does not start soon for you, but you earned your run and that was so much fun to promo against you this week.

*note I wrote that about 3 hours ago, before leaving for the radio shows, which I just returned from so I still have not read more yet*

[Mike Corral]

I'm a little disappointed about my loss, but I'll take it like a man. Congrats on the win Justin, but expect me to come after you. This rivalry isn't gonna end like that.

Congrats to Scorch, Royalty, and Jaime Parker for winning/ defending their titles. Big ups to Scorch mostly, I know APG is a tough man to beat.

[AFalseSinn]

I like how the one guy you didnt congradulate was me man!
Awesome looking show for the stuff i have read so far, which isnt even that much but its pretty.

there was alot of work put into all aspects of this show, especially the rps!
way to show WPW what we mean by rping like mother fuckers

[Mike Corral]

Sorry Pops.

CONGRATU-FUCKING-LATIONS AFS!!!

Seriously, I really congratulate you for taking on 14 different guys and still managing to come out on top. Glad to know the man I lost the title to is ten times as hardcore and awesome than me.

Review to come up later guys.

[DjM]

Good looking show guys. I'll read in more detail soon. But congrats to all the new Champions, and to Parker for retaining.

But especially congratulations to Scorch. You deserved this man, I'm really happy for ya!

Will try and comment some more on the show once I've read more than just the little bits of lime lol.

[Gunnar Brian]

Congrats to the champs, especially Scorch(World) and AFS(HC) everyone deserved the wins and the general rp rate was pretty damn high, always a good thing, and I am thankful I didn't have Neo's, Promy's or Hendricksons job :P

Congrats to Dreamer, and comiserations to Corral as well, in hind sight I may have made the finish a little harsh in that match.

[Snowman]

I'd like to say something about the show but APG said I've not to..Oh well, I must obey him.

[APostingGod]

That's a warning for spam.

Thank you.

legendaryreview:

Twizted/Dreamer - Standard opener. Ending not really satisfactory - did Carlos really want to see Dreamer suffer? Why did he not forsee a Dreamer recovery? Writing was fine though. Probably what was neede to kick off the biggest PPV yet.

Segments - couldn't be faulted. Nice to see Jokester with a mic in ring, and Duff catches the character perfectly. Others all did their job - I especially liked El Pollo, but I always have. I almost sneaked him into the hardcore match anyway, but I've got a job to keep!

Mathster v GA/Sinn
Good entrances. That's the key to a good Jokester match! I'm intrigued as to where our storyline goes from here. Ditto the GA stuff - how far can you take the mediaeval schtick? Believeable match and I've almost forgiven Judge for the loss. More cut up for my partners than me really - did you realise that Jokester only has a 50/50 win/loss ratio? That's probably about right, mind you.

Hardcore match - I enjoyed writing this and I hope that came across. Yes, seven guys were only there to make up the numbers but that's how the RPs dictated it. Damn! Missed a trick with Steve Blackman. Hope the ending was OK. If I was doing it storyline, I would have avoided 2 winning as it was too obvious (no offence AFS!), but I really couldn't call it any other way. You were clearly second though Forsaken. Honourable mentions to Troy and Nicolls.

Shit. Gotta go. Rest later.

Edit: Florida Title - Good back and forth match which a three way usually demands. Right result imo, leading into....

Tag match - also right result, especially from storyline point of view. We need a strong Royalty otherwise what's the point of them.

Goodman/DiNatale - this was OK and placed correctly, I think. We needed a break from the really intense stuff before the epic main event. Did the job and I think the Goodman storyline is being handled properly.

Main event - I don't know how Neo pulls this off consistently. I would have been recycling stuff by page 5 in this sort of match but Neo keeps it fresh all the way to page 12. Once again, excellent stuff and congrats Scorch. I'll expect a smile on your face in the next RP. Jokester'll write you a couple of gags if you're desperate!

Overall, a big hit. It wouldn't work if we had 7 matches all like the main event, so it's good we have a mix of writing styles and match types. Pats on back all round.

[Gunnar Brian]

LK, I throw the blame on my finish to lack of imagination, I wanted to play a Twsited attempt at keeping the title by DQ'ing himself, but at the same time Dreamer did win the rp battle enough for the title, so chalk it up to late-ish writing and lack of imagination :P loved the HC match, was a wonderful read and I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering how the monkey managed to get in thre.

[Mr. Hendrickson]

First things first AFS sorry for putting Desmond's name instead of your's on the graphic, It didn't click until I was out of state yesterday. So well here is what I think of the matches.

Justin Dreamer vs. Twisted(c) (or Twiztid)
[God of Live Championship]

The match flowed very well with some good exchanges between both men. I could invision this match very well for the most part. However there were parts of the match that seemed to stop and start again. Please don't make me go back and tell you what they were because I won't do it. Anyways I like how Twisted got the chair and was going to hit Dreamer but only got a gut shot. I had a feeling from then that the match would continue seeing as Dreamer started to pick up toward the end leading to that. The ending was good with the Extreme Drop but it seemed to fast after Carlos showing up on the tron. However the ending was justified and glad to see my friend Dreamer regain the God of Live Championship. I would say a 7.25/10

Segment: Jamie Parker

Seems like Jamie was forseeing what was going to happen, you know taking one last look at his championships.

Tokester & JBB vs. Genuine Articles & SiNN (Not Desmond Troy)

The enterance for Tokstermath was awesome.. "I am Duke Nukem" Hilarious entrance!


Brent continues stretching Brent’s arm, hyper extending his shoulder as Brent gets to his own feet.
Brent must be pretty talented lol


Max: Ouch! Jackson just stomped Tank in the nose harder than Hurricane Dean hit the Yucatan Peninsula.

Max: SiNN winning that early would have been a bigger upset than the announcement that Ryan Seacrest is hosting the Emmy’s!

Max: Maybe so, but those tactics are dirtier than Britney Spears’ hoonanny.
Gotta love Max, he is sure quick with humorous banter. Gotta love that in a commentator.

This match was fan-tab-u-lous! I loved reading this and I am a smark now for Judge and his writing. I seen everything happening in this match as I closed my eyes. It had a lot of each wrestlers persona in it and it showed each wrestlers strengths whichis a plus when you write a match. The visuals were there with the great writing. I love how the Genuine Articles and SiNN got the win as Brent used the rope as leverage. I didn't think Brent would do that but Golly-G-Willikers you need to be desperate especially when you're sliding down in the win/loss column. Good overall match I would say... 8.0/10

Segment: El Pollo/Ranks/2

Um .. El Pollo better be happy there wasn't a big fork nearby because SiNN would've gotten him some Chicken!

15 Man Battle Royal
[WPW Hardcore Championship]


SSG has him in a head scissors but Montoya does not seem to be making much effort to escape.

Daniel: I suppose that there are people who would pay good money to be in Montoya’s position right now.

Max: Besides me?

I wouldn't make any movements either if I was in the same position a Montoya. So he did exactly what he was suppose to. Yeah Desmond Troy is a fan of 'The One' I liked that lol. This was a good match a lot of back and forth. I liked how 2 was nailing SSG or wait nailing SSG with punches. That was funny as all hell. I liked how Forsaken had the most title reigns in this match and honestly thought he would end up with it and then again if he did I would've been mad as AFS out roleplayed him in the long run. This match lived up to its hype and it was good .. rather long read. One thing though seperate paragraphs with a space, its kind annoying if you don't but that was minor and took nothing awa from the match. Overall I think for its length, the amount of people in the match, and the writing this match deserves a 8.75/10

Royal Knight vs. Jesse Long vs. Jaime Parker(c)
[Florida State Championship]


RK and Parker both fall like a twelve foot, 450 pound tree to the ground, impacting on the mat with ferocity!

I like how the Royalty showed up in force in this match showng that they support the Royal Knight and want him to bring the Florida State Championship 'home'. This match had decent symmetry and had me going there for a while, I didn't know how it would end, well I did but I didn't know who would win it. This match lead perfectly into the match I did. Promy and I worked well together!! YAY US! So yeh ... 8.0/10

Jamie Parker/Jason Bennett(c) vs. The Royalty
[WPW Tag Team Championship]

I wrote this match so yeah I won't give myself a critique. But thanks Promy for revamping a few parts such as the commentary the beginning or transition from his match to mine and the ending possibly.

Brock Goodman vs. Paul DiNatale

Decent match for what it was. I know we didn't get much of a rp output from the competitors compared to other matches. This match was short, sweet and too the point, very good for that. Overall 6/10

Scorch vs. The One(c)
[WPW World Championship Match]

Oh my GOD Scorch has toppled the Empire of The One, Desmond Troy is disappointed. This was an awesome match well written all around. NEO wow.. you're an awesome match writer congrats man! I can't believe the outcome ad I can't believe how we got there, it seemed to me atleast that The One would've pulled it off but sadly he didn't. What an epic run by The One.. WOW ... still can't grasp this! 15/10

----

I want to say that the WPW has the most dedicated, talented and profficent writers on the net. This PPV had fast turnaround and hell all the writers I believe ad a match, hell I had two to rolelay for! We worked it out showed everyone in the WPW that their hardwork didn't go to shame and well this puts the WPW in a whole new category and direction with the title chnge at the top! I can't wat to see where we are going now as a E-Fed, the only thing we an do is go up and expand! Cn't wait to see the next card! I hope this analyses was good lol.

Good luck to everyone next week and congrats to all the winners here at ReActivation!

[CTRanks]

First and foremost before i hear anymore Jerimiah Ranks bashing I just wanted to aploigize for not being active for the last 2 and a half weeks. There has been some real serious personal shit i have been going through and it doesn't seem to be getting better, but i take full responsibility for not roleplaying lately.... However, im still in WPW and i would be a fool not to give the people in this fed due respect for writing such an amazing show. From what i read so far only a few parts i've read have been kinda lack luster but so far so good and i know it's gonna get better. I can't wait to read the main-event but i'm gonna save that for last.

Congrats to my boy Scorch man you deserve it... Congrats to TJ and Promy and Duff for retaining atleast one of his titles and putting up a hell of a fight also AFS for kicking ass in two matches and Justin Dreamer for getting that GoL back.

As i said before ya boy is still here he's just going through some hard times so please understand...... please. A review is coming soon (hopefully).

[The Judge]

Just so all the new guys and forgetfull guys are aware, PPV reviews are worth triple the points, so that's 30 points per review.

[JDK]

I glanced through the show earlier in the week, and finished reading it today. A fantastic show, you've all done a great job as always, I've only been in WPW for two PPV's, but you lot really pull out all the stops, and seem to make that little but extra effort when it comes to PPV's. Scorch vs One was a hell of a match, I swear I wish I had half the imagination Neo does. With that said I think it's time to call it a day with Jak Montoya.

[The Judge]

Hell nah it isn't. Jak is a great character that I love watching be developed.
