The scene opens to various scenes of torture, people bleeding, and screams of pain. The scenes begin to run faster and faster together before they all clash together as the scene opens to the center ring as Stormy Canyon is ready to announce the first match.

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The opening contest is a pink slip on a pole match where the loser is fired from the AWA introducing first he is Drake Chevelle!

Drake's music hits then makes his way to the ring, taunting to the crowd who give a mixed reaction

Tex Martin: This guy is in his second AWA match, his first losing to Chaos and now his career already on the line

Duff Travers: It might be the shortest AWA career we have seen Tex that is for sure

Stormy Canyon: ….and his opponent Frankie Everheart!!!

Frankie's music hits, he runs down to the ring, not wasting anytime

Tex Martin: Frankie is ready to kick this show off

Duff Travers: So here we go!

Frankie slides in the ring, Drake runs at him with a clothesline but it gets ducked, Frankie turns Drake around, levels him with a right hand, then another..... one more for good luck, he pushes his opponent back to the ropes then Irish whips him to the opposite side of the ring, as he comes back Frankie nails a big drop kick taking his opponent down and the bell finally sounds

Duff Travers: Well an explosive start to this match and to the PPV, welcome once again to Red, White and Bleeding folks, one of these men will leave a winner the other will leave towards the unemployment line!

Frankie looks over to the corner with the pole, he walks over and begins climbing to the top rope that is until Drake stands back to his feet, smashes his fore arm across the back of Frankie who drops to the canvas from the second rope, Drake pulls Frankie up and elbows him in the side of the face not once but twice, he takes a few steps back then runs towards his opponent who counters with a boot to the face, Frankie then hits a kick to Drake's gut before planting him with a big DDT!

Tex Martin: I think Drake is out.... when was the last time you saw the DDT finish a match folks, this could be over!

Frankie stands up once again, walking over to the ropes, climbing up this time making it to the very top rope, reaching up for the pink slip, but he sees Drake who is just about getting to his feet, Frankie turns around, Drake runs to the ropes and climbs to top rope too, fighting back Frankie, the two battle it out, Drake finally seems to be getting the upper hand for the first time, he knocks Frankie into a sitting position on the top rope, Drake stands up, the pink slip in sight, he reaches up, it is almost over when Frankie grabs Drake and power bombs him from the top rope to the canvas below, Drake landing in a sick position on his neck!

Tex Martin: Yeah that's it, not just for his career here but most likely anywhere what a landing!

Frankie just sits there for a minute before slowly getting up. He sees that Drake isn’t moving and slowly makes his way up the ladder. The fans in the crowd are going wild, cheering him on. He grabs the pink slip and hops down from the ladder, tossing it at Drake. The bell rings and Stormy makes the announcement.

Stormy: The winner of this match…..Fraaaaaannnnnkkkkk…..

Instead of hearing Slayer’s Raining Blood, we hear the opening riff to Metallica’s Seek and Destroy, as we see John Irons walk out from the back, mic in hand.

Irons: Before you announce that, Stormy, I got an announcement of my own to make. Frankie, you are the winner of this match, but your performance of late has sucked balls. I’m sick and tired of you tarnishing the good name of Erik Black, so until you can shape up and be better, you are hereby suspended till further notice!

Tex: Whoa! That’s a little harsh Boss man.

Duff: Even I agree on that one.

Irons: And as for Drake, son I been waiting to say this since I first saw you perform. YOUR FIRED! Now get the fuck out of my ring before I have you arrested! Have a nice night!

Winner:

Raining Blood hits the PA as the scene switches backstage as we see Chloe Irons talking on her cellphone.

Chloe Irons: I know, I just saw it too. Drake was supposed to be released a week ago, but somehow he managed to weasel his way back into the card.

Yes, the Blood Brothers are next up, and there better not be any more shenanigans from anyone else or so help me…..

The scene quickly goes back to ringside as we see Tex and Duff ready to comment on the next match.

Tex: The Blood Brothers are putting up their championship against a team that has never worked with each other before.

Duff: All week long, Pain and Mike Anderson have shown distrust towards each other, which spells bad news for the challengers. The Blood Brothers, meanwhile, may make up all the difference in their match.

Duff: But for all we know, The Blood Brothers could be defeated by two men that never met each other up until this point. They could change history by becoming Team Awesome! But the big question can they set their differences aside and get the job done?

Tex: Hopefully, the answers that we seek will be discovered tonight!

Vs.

Stormy: This match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Team Awesome championship! Introducing first, one half of the Blood Brothers! From Orlando, Flordia, weighing at 275 lbs….CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!

The lights in the arena go dark and suddenly AC/DC "You Shook Me All Night Long" hits over the PA and the lights from the stage burst into life as the lyrics quickly build to the chorus as Chaos makes his way out onto the stage, he raises his hands into the air as a barage of pyro shoots upwards from the stage sending the crowd into a frenzy, Chaos continues to walk down to the ring and up the stairs, climbs into the ring and jumps to the second rope, raising his hands once more as another set of pyro shoots down from the arena roof behind Chaos, he jumps down as the music fades and he is ready to get down to business!

Stormy: Introducing his partner, the other half of the Blood Brothers! From Orlando, FL, weighing at 237 lbs….KRUSHER!!!!!!!!!!!

Breaking Benjamin’s “Breakdown” hits the PA as a huge "wall of fire" pyro blasts up from centre stage. The arena lights begin to glow red and the flames die down. The fans in the arena give a mixed reaction, some booing while others cheer as The Psycho known as Krusher appears from the entrance. He walks down to ring with a purpose. When he gets half way down the ramp, he runs down the rest of it and then slides into ring under the bottom rope. He walks over to the side of the ring, grabs the top rope and lets his anger out in a loud scream while pyro explodes from all four ring posts at the same time. The lights return back to normal and the music starts to fade out as Krusher gets pumped up for his match. Tex: The Blood Brothers are now in the ring, more than likely talking strategy against their opponents for tonight.

Duff: Whatever Pain and Mike Anderson have cooked up for the Blood Brothers better be a good one. After all, the Team Awesome championship is on the line! Ain’t she a beauty?

Tex: You make it sound like you have a right to own and see that thing for all eternity, Duff.

Duff: Hey, I get to admire and look at it as much as I want, Tex!

Stormy: Introducing their opponents, the first half of the challengers! From Kansas City, Missouri, weighing at 262 lbs……PAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Sum 41's 80's tribute/mockery "Pain for Pleasure" bombards the sound system in the arena. The lights flicker alternating from white to fuchsia as the single word PAIN stamps itself to life on the Asylum's big screen. Running to the ring with his sleeveless black leather duster flowing behind him like a cape, Marshall White - Pain - slides under the bottom rope into the ring. Quick as a flash, he's on his feet and then onto the second rope, arms in the air drinking in the adulation of the fans.

Stormy: Introducing his partner, the second half of the challengers! From Las Vegas, Neveda, weighing at 215 lbs…..MIKE ANDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!

A droning Organ sounds in the arena, playing the introduction to "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple. As the song kicks into full swing, pyrotechnics explode around the stage, and golden sparks begin to flow from the base of the jumbotron, as Mike Anderson struts onto the stage, his expression pouring with arrogance. He adjusts his waistcoat, surveying the thousands of fans booing him, and flashes his infamously arrogant grin, before continuing his long walk to the ring, gesturing for every single fan in attendance to look at him. After slowly climbing the ring steps, Anderson paces across the apron before slowly stepping through the ropes, and pacing around the ring with his arms stretched out, allowing the booing fans to see him in all of his glory.

Duff: The Blood Brothers can’t help but be happy seeing the sight of Pain and Mike Anderson already arguing.

Tex: Neither Pain nor Anderson want to help each other out, but they want to win, they have to set aside their differences and co-exist for tonight.

Chaos and Krusher speak to each other briefly, deciding who should be in. Once the choice was made, Krusher climbs through the ropes and now stands on the left side of the ring, holding the ropes as Chaos faces Anderson, who is going to be first as Pain steps out of the ring on and stands on the right side of the ring. The bell rings and Chaos and Mike Anderson lock horns in the middle of the ring. Mike breaks up the hold and Chaos goes to grab him for another round, but Mike had a better idea. He scratched Chaos’s eyes! Chaos staggers backward as the referee warns Mike not to do that again. But Mike ignores the referee as he plants a quick kick into Chaos’s stomach, then sets up for a DDT and executes the move with excellent precision. Mike goes for the count, but Chaos is too quick, bringing his hand up at the count of one. Mike picks up Chaos and throws him to the ropes, thinking that Chaos would go for a clothesline. But Chaos took him by surprise with a cross-body splash instead! A pin attempt of his own followed, but Mike kicked out at the count of two.

Tex: Already things are getting to a faster pace between the two opponents.

Duff: I wonder how much faster things will go from this point?

Chaos gives three elbow drops to Mike’s chest. He then takes his legs and drags him over to the corner and tags in Krusher. Krusher enters the ring and nails a rough kick into Mike’s stomach as Chaos held the legs. He lets go and steps out of the ring as Krusher kicks him down a bit. He then goes for looks like to be a Boston Crab, but Mike recovers and pushes Krusher away with his feet before kipping up. Krusher charges forward, but Mike took the big man down with a quick clothesline that took Krusher completely by surprise. Mike Anderson slams his knee into Krusher’s face, who writhes in agony as he feels the impact driven onto his face. Mike punishes him with another one, grinning all the while as the fans boo him. He then picks up Krusher, from behind while clutching him around the waist, and hits a German Suplex! A pin attempt from that move was made, but Krusher kicks Mike between the head, stunning him. As the two slowly reach to their feet, Mike Anderson leaps into the air and goes for a Frankensteiner, but Krusher grips him tight and counters with a powerbomb! He then goes for the pin and the referee slams his hand on the mat twice. On the third time, however, Mike gets the shoulder up as the ref was THAT close in giving the Blood Brothers the victory. Chaos yells at the referee to make a faster count. The referee became distracted by this, allowing Mike Anderson to lay a low blow on Krusher as Krusher was picking him up. Krusher keels over in pain, clutching his jewels as Mike Anderson now successfully connects with the Frankensteiner that he missed out on earlier. But instead of going for the pin, he manages to leap over to where Pain is and gets the tag! Pain hops up on the top rope as the crowd is overjoyed to see him as he shoots for the sky and lands with with a sunset flip, inflicting more damage on Krusher! Pain goes for the pin, but just as the referee was about to slap his hand on the count of three, Chaos rushed into the ring and landed an elbow to the back of Pain’s head, ending the count.

Tex: Pain isn’t happy about that at all. He almost had the victory in hand!

Duff: Chaos won’t be happy either after what just happened to him!

Chaos has his back turned as he walks out of the ring, but Pain was quick, delivering a dropkick to his back, sending Chaos flying out of the ring and hitting the concrete floor hard, the crowd gasping collectively. Pain turns around and becomes the victim of a vicious spinebuster, courtesy of Krusher, who is now back on his feet! He picks up Pain and takes out his breath with a couple of knee strikes directly into his abdomen. Bringing Pain to their corner, Krusher slaps in Chaos for the tag. Krusher steps back as Pain staggers forward, Chaos behind him. Chaos goes for a low-chop to the back of Pain’s left ankle as Krusher hits a clothesline! Pain loses his balance and falls to the mat harshly, feeling his throat aching from the clothesline. Krusher picks him up and punches him in the stomach three times, trying to weaken him. Then he lifts him up in the air, hoping to go for a bodyslam, but Pain recovers and flips out of the hold, landing on his feet. Krusher tries to clobber him with a punch from behind, but Pain counters by seeing the arm that he’s coming and goes for a hip toss, then switches it up with a powerslam! He is already feeling victory coming for him and Mike, so he hits the ropes, nearby the corner where Mike is standing. Without warning, Mike slaps Pain’s back and Pain stops and gives Mike an angry glare, who doesn’t care about what he has to think as he hits the top rope and goes for a moonsault, hitting Krusher directly on the chest! As Pain shakes his head and steps out of the ring to stand on the apron ropes, Mike goes for the count, but Chaos intervenes and kicks Mike in the head, ending the count before it could reach to three!

Tex: That was stupid of Mike! He should have let Pain do what he does best in the ring and chip away at Krusher’s defense! Instead, Mike became selfish and had to take the spotlight!

Duff: Well, Tex, that just means, at least to me, that he’s just trying to live up to his reputation, regardless of what Pain or the fans think of him!

Chaos yells at Mike as the referee tries to push him back. Mike laughs it off as he picks up Krusher, who gets revenge by planting his boot straight into Mike’s jewels! Mike is unhappy with that, but Krusher is wasting no time, hitting a quick suplex to keep Mike down. Pain grins at Mike’s misfortune, but his mood changes once he sees Krusher going for the pin. He quickly jumps on the top rope and goes airborne, landing a nice, but improvised frog splash. Krusher groans in agony as Chaos, angered that Pain intervened like that, takes him by surprise with a clothesline, taking both men out of the ring. The referee is yelling at them to get back to their corners as the two men slug away at each other, neither one gaining the advantage. The crowd is on their feet, hoping to see who would be taking the crown here as the action heats up. Mike is the first man to rise onto his feet, Krusher being a little slower in getting up. Mike hits the ropes and goes for a Lou Thez press, taking Krusher down with him. He manages to wail away at his foe with punches to the head, but Krusher is able to cover himself with his fists, so most of the fists do not go through, except for one or two. Mike doesn’t get anywhere with this as he picks Krusher and throws him to the ropes, but Krusher reverses it and down goes Mike Anderson with a spinebuster! As Krusher goes for the pin, Chaos goes for a superkick, but Pain rolls to the other side, Chaos hitting nothing but air! Pain turns around and lands a gruesome enziguri! Chaos goes down, Pain not knowing his partner is getting pinned by Krusher! 1…..Pain kicks down Chaos for a bit, just to make sure that he can’t get up. Two…..then he turns and sees that Mike is knocked out cold somehow. As Pain slides into the ring, it becomes too late to save him as the referee finally gets the count he’s looking for!

Duff: Pain did his job, but Krusher was able to get the pin quickly before Pain could save the day.

Tex: The Blood Brothers once again emerge victorious!

Stormy: Here is your winner and STILL the Team Awesome champions….THE BLOOD BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Krusher exits the ring and checks on his brother as Pain is fuming with rage, watching Krusher pick up his brother and the two head up the ramp together as Chaos cannot help but grin. Pain then turns his attention to Mike, who is slowly getting up. The two get into a very heated argument that the cameras cannot capture as the scene clicks to a commercial break.

Winner:

The scene opens as we come back from commercial break. You can see Matthew Toddi sitting on a black case next to his title in the backstage hallways of the US Airways Center in Pheonix, Arazona. He will be facing Jason Stevens in a Death Trap Extraodinaire match at the first annual Red, White and Bleeding PPV. He must defend his AWA International title tonight. He begins to speak.

Toddi: The night has come, when I face Jason Stevens in the Death Trap Extraodinaire match where one man will walk out alive. For my International title, we shall fight, if you can even call it a fight. This match will test how long you can live for. This is life versus death! But if anyone is going to die tonight, its gonna be Jason.

Chaos and Krusher are walking through the hallways with their retained Team Awesome trophy. They walk past Toddi and they begin to speak.

Toddi: Well done my brothers! I knew you would beat those 2 idiots. Wait, have you 2 been celebrating through the entire glass ceiling and thumbtacks match?

Chaos: No, we stopped during the match. Now we are just showing everyone why we are the Blood Brothers and When you mess with the best.

Krusher: You fall like the rest! Yeah, even you could beat them Toddi.

Krusher and Chaos laugh

Chaos: Any way, im sure you will be able to beat Jason and retain your gold just like us.

Toddi: I will, Jason has no chance what so ever against me. He will be surrounded by death and it cant be avoided!

Chaos and Krusher walk off down the hallway celebrating and holding their trophy in the faces of the staff who cross them. Toddi: All I can say is. Beware Jason, your about to see the dark, evil, hardcore side of Matthew Toddi!

Toddi walks down the hallway ready for his match as the scene switches back to the ring.

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a glass ceiling and thumbtacks match and is for the Television championship. The rules to this match are simple.

The winner is the last man standing.Now, Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 246 pounds, your Television Champion...Modo!!!

The arena strobe lights span the crowd in attendance as "BYOB" hits the speakers. the lights flicker on and off as Modo is caught by the cameras...he is a top the rafters among his fans. he descends down through the crowd as all the people cheer him on and clap his back. Modo looks around and takes in the atmosphere before jumping the guardrail and sliding into the ring. The arena fills with smoke as Modo enters the ring and the lights come back on. Modo is in the middle of the ring with his two index fingers in the air as the fans go wild...

Tex: Here is your AWA TV champion Modo hoping to retain his title against his 3 opponents in a glass ceiling and thumbtacks match.

Duff: I cant believe they would allow such a match like this!

Stormy: And his first opponent, from Long Pond, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 220 pounds, Jacob Porter!!!

Entrance The arena goes dark. A beat starts in the background followed by Rhinanna beginning to sing the beginning of “Run This Town” Red and blue strobes like police lights begin to go off as a form rises from underneath the stage. Jay-Z’s part begins and a spotlight shines on the figure at it shows to be Fang. He is standing in the light in a Black Armani suit. His head is bowed as the music plays. He then looks up as he is joined in the entrance way of the stage by Big Vic Gillot. The two men walk down to the ring The strobes still going off. More men in black suits walk behind the Man in Black. They surround the ring as he gets in. The lights go back to normal as the music fades. Fang takes off the suit jacket to reveal a white tshirt underneath. He folds the jacket and hands it to Vic. Fang nods to Vic and the men around the ring and they walk backstage as he waits for his opponent.

Tex: This man, Jacob Porter is 'Fang' Jonathan Porter twin brother.

Duff: He is here to try and do better than his brother Jonathan and will do all he can in his power to win this title, something his brother has failed to do.

Stormy: And his second opponent, from El Paso, Texas, weighing in at 250 pounds, Laz!!!

Enter Sandman by Metallica plays on the PA as fog fills the arena and the light fade lower. The titiantron comes to life with images of the American flag as Laz steps out onto the ramp. Red White and Blue pyros light up the arena. As the fog seeps away he walks down the ramp and to the ring.

Tex: This will be Laz's third match here. His first being against Bulldog and second a TV title match which he lost and this one.

Duf: He must be one othe only wrestlers I know who have made it to a title match in their third match.

Stormy: And his final opponent, weighing in at 375 pounds, from Nashua, New Hampshire, Big Bad Casey!!!

Casey comes down with his friend John who is dancing on the ramp and his wife Laura. They are holding hands as they walk down to the ring. The three men in the ring gaze at the giant as he enters the ring over the ropes as Laura gives him a last kiss before he enters this glass box. The fans cheer on.

Tex: I think this man is destined for this title, he should have had it in the Highway to Hell PPV but he just came short.

Duff: Well I have to say the same otherwise I will end up in the arms of Casey!

Modo hands over the title to the ref, who quickly shows it to Modo, who replies with a nod. Then he walks over to the other three men and shows it to them, who also reply with nods. The ref walks outside of the box, locks it and watches as it suspends a whole 20 feet high! The bell rings and the match gets underway.

Tex: Here we go.

Duff: This is going to be a good one im telling you now! I just hope the glass can hold Casey.

The match is underway as all four men circle the glass box looking at each other. All of a sudden Jacob runs at Laz with a clothesline knocking him over and breaking the suspence of the match. Jacob kneels over him and goes all out punching him in the face. Modo gets distracted by this and Casey takes advantage by ramming him front first into the side of the glass. He then walks over to Jacob who has no clue that Casey is standing over him. Casey grabs his head, lifts him up and swings him into Modo but Modo moves away at the last second leaving Jacob to flop onto the floor! Modo runs up and dropkicks Casek in the back but it has no effect other than a slight movement. He turns around and delivers an uppercut to Modo and cuts straight into a hook/jab combination. Modo falls down, Casey celebrates by holding his hands in the air but it is cut short as Laz jumps onto his back making the giant furious. Casey struggles to get him off but Laz wont let go so Casey runs to the centre of the glass box and jumps, landing on his back crushing Laz. Casey gets up from the floor revealing the huge crack in it but he falls back down as Jacob low blows him! Casey falls to his knees holding his crotch as Jacob smiles as he is the only one standing but not for long as he turns around to find Modo stalking him. He runs and hits a nasty enziguiri to the head of Jacob. Modo walks around his opponents bodies, he sees Casey moving and heads right to him, he kicks at him but it just gets Casey more and more mad. He slowly gets up as he pushes Modo away but he keeps coming back. The two end up locking up their arms. Casey is pushing forward but Modo takes advantage of what Jacob did earlier by kicking him in the nuts! Casey leans forward in pain and Modo hits a DDT dropping Casey to the ground. He takes no breaks and puts a sleeper hold on the giant. The titan tron states there is ten minutes left until the box floor opens. Laz finally gets up from the drop that Casey did and he wants revenge! He tells Modo to let him and that they should work as a team. Modo agrees and they try to pick Big Bad Casey up. Once they do Jacob revives himself and joins in on the attack of Casey.

Tex: They are all attacking Casey, working as a unit to get the big man down.

Duff: They sure are but this is a match where you work on your won to win the title, not like this!

Each man takes it in turns attacking Casey i some way whether it is kick, punch or just a push. Out of nowhere Modo kicks Jacob, pushes him to the floor and and kicks Laz in the gut. He then gets him in a powerbomb position, lifts him up onto his shoulders like a crucifix, runs and throws him into a glass wall breaking the glass as Laz flies through and hits the concrete outside the ring hard knocking him out!

Tex: OH MY GOD!!! Did you see that? Somebody get paramedics or something!

Duff: I hope he is ok Tex. Anyway, back to the match. Modo, Casey and Jacob are left in this one.

Modo and Jacob are left looking down at Laz as if they have seen a ghost while he is being looked after and eventually put on a stretcher and taken out as the fans look on with worrying looks on their faces. They dont notice Casey rising behind Jacob and Modo and nether do they. He turns them around and grabs their necks ready for a double chokeslam through the glass! He lifts them up but as he does, the timer runs out and the two parted floor drops and all three men land on the tacks! The ref outside the ring begins to count them out. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7 Unbelievably Modo and Casey get up leaving Jacob to be counted out. Modo and Casey stand in the ring staring at each other. Casey runs at Modo but he escapes to the outside of the ring! As Casey shows signs to tell him to fight and be a man he reaches under the ring and gets a chair and a black bag. He slides back into the ring, swings and hits Casey in the middle of the forehead with a chair. Casey falls to the floor near the ropes. Modo takes something out of the black bag and it appears to be handcuffs. He locks Casey's hands around the bottom ropes and leaves the ring with the chair.

Tex: What is he doing, he cant just leave him there, he has a match!

Duff: Well, we will wait to see what he is doing.

Modo walks around the ring and hits John with the chair knocking him to the ground as Laura screams and begins to cry as she is knelt over John. Even though the fans love him they begin to boo. He looks at Laura with an evil smile and Laura looks at him too. He walks closer to her, picks her up and throws her in the ring. He leaves the chair outside and enters the ring once again. He grabs her and pulls her up. He puts her in a belly to belly position and excecutes the first one. Casey gets mad. He hits another and Casey gets even more mad. With his foot, Modo moves most of the tacks into a pile ready to hit the third and final belly to belly suplex. As he prepares to hit the move, Casey pulls from the ropes and breaks the handcuff chain. Casey charges at Modo as he pushes Laura to the floor and he dodges Casey's attack. Casey checks on Laura and Modo grabs his feet, twists him over and locks in the sharp shooter!

Tex: What went in to Modo's mind then? We saw a new side of him then!

Duff: I dont know but he has Casey in a sharp shooter right now. Lets see if he can get out.

Casey struggles through the pain but Modo just pulls back. Casey turns to a desperate option and tries to turn over and throws tacks at Modo's eyes! Modo lets go of the submission and holds hs eyes. Casey tries to get Modo but cant because he has had to rest on one knee due to the submission Modo just applied. He takes advantage and hits a superkick to Casey's jaw knocking him down. The ref begins to count again. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...1 Casey manages to get up just in time. Modo cant believe this and tries an enziguiri again but has no luck. Casey pushes him off, he bounces of the ropes and accidently walks straight into a quick chokeslam. Casey tells the ref to count. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8. Modo gets up and dropkicks Casey in the leg he injured dropping him to the ground. He gets up as Modo climbs on the top turnbuckle and jumps off for a top rope body press. As he is about to land on Casey. Casey throws his fist into the air and connects with a mid-air Power Up!!! Modo falls to the ground and lands on the pile of tacks! The ref checks on Modo and he is knocked out cold! He tells officials to ring the bell.

Tex: That shot must of hurt!

Duff: Modo might need a new face after that!

Stormy: Here is your winner and the NEW AWA Television Champion, BIG BAD CASEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tex: I knew Casey would win this one! Well done big man.

Duff: I have to give it to him, Casey did well.

The scene cuts fades commercials as Casey holds the title above his head with John and Laura on both sides of him.

Winner:

Duff: And we’re back from commercial break and tonight’s about to get more exciting!

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Death Trap Extraordinaire Match for the AWA Internationalllll Championshiiiiip!!!

The opening of "Beyond The Pale" by Exodus is heard over the PA, as soon as the words begin, Jason emerges from the back with his mentor Steve Ramone following him close behind alongside Carrie. The crowd is mixed in their reaction to the trio as whilst they hate Jason, they love Steve. Jason rolls into the ring in a clear spot away from any of the implements of destruction that are already littered about the ring and bounces off of the ropes as Steve and Carrie take up positions at ringside, Carrie with a concerned look on her face being that she knows what Jason’s match entails tonight.

Stormy: Introducing first, already in the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 175 pounds…he is the challenger…Jason Stevens!!!

The crowd reaction continues to be mixed as Jason looks around at many of the implements of destruction that are in and around the outside of the ring. Jason’s music fades and is quickly replaced by “Speak Your Mind” by 12 Stones.

Stormy: And his opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 225 pounds…he is the AWA International Champioooon…Matthew Toddiiiiiii!!!

Matthew walks out from the backstage area and looks at the fans who are booing him. The International Champion raises his hood over his head and places his arms out to his sides as red and white spark pyro comes out from above and the sides of him. The AWA International Championship can be seen strapped around his waist as he walks down the wrestler ramp towards the ring. He stops at ringside and takes another look at the fans. He raises his arms, with one hand index finger and thumb up and other hand just index. He then teases throwing his hoodie to the crowd as he simply drops it at ringside and begins to warm up by dancing around a bit outside the ring from side to side, throwing some punches before looking up at his challenger and grinning. Toddi finally hops up on to the ring apron and is careful to not set any traps off. But the moment he steps into the ring his left foot plants itself on a tiny mousetrap laid out. Toddi winces as he grabs for his foot as Jason Stevens just shakes his head, mouthing out the word “rookie…”

Tex: Well as you’ve just all seen there are traps aplenty in the International Championship match here tonight.

Duff: Clearly Irons wants these two men KILLED or something! It’s like I’ve been saying all alo-

Tex: Might want to hold your tongue there Duff. From what I’ve been hearing, Irons and Goth have called a truce, which means they are going to try and work together. Which also means they may have BOTH agreed to having this type of match be signed…

Duff: Whatever.

Toddi takes exception to what Stevens says and shows off the International Title before handing it over to the referee. Toddi then goes after Stevens but is unable to sidestep a second mousetrap, this time to his other foot. Stevens chuckles and flashes a thumbs-up down to Carrie, telling her he’s going to easily get the job done now. With Toddi trying to disengage the mousetraps, Stevens delivers a missile dropkick that sends Toddi through the air and into the nearest turnbuckle. Nothing happens as it appears there is no trap set there.

Tex: Looks like we just found the neutral corner. At least they both know where to go to be safe.

Duff: It would teach Irons a lesson if both of them just stayed right there for the rest of the duration of the match!

That doesn’t happen though as Stevens assumes control of the champion and suddenly Irish whips him across the ring. Halfway across though Toddi doesn’t see a trap door open. One of his legs falls into the new hole and Stevens sees his opportunity. He runs at Toddi and hits a knee lift. Toddi stumbles around right into one of the other corners, where immediately a firework goes off from the top of one of the turnbuckles. Toddi seems stunned by it and the challenger nods his head as he knows he has this match well at hand, nice and early. That being so, Jason grabs for Toddi, but Matthew regains his composure and stops Stevens from doing whatever he was going to do. Matthew performs a reversal and whips Stevens with some extra strength that sends Stevens up and over the top rope and out to the floor. Once he hits the mat on the ringside floor though a spring pops out of it as the crowd ohs. Stevens grabs for his back and rolls around in pain. Carrie carefully comes over and checks on Jason.

Tex: A sudden turn of events and Toddi might be able to take control here.

Duff: If he doesn’t fall into yet another trap that is… Besides, I thought all the traps were supposed to be INSIDE the ring?

Tex does not reply to Duff’s comment but continues to call the match as he sees it. And what he sees is Toddi dropping down out of the ring. It’s here that he grabs for Jason as Carrie backs away from the situation. Toddi rolls Stevens back into the ring. But as Stevens stops rolling, Toddi notices he’s left Stevens on yet another booby trap. The ring starts shaking and the panel Stevens is on blows up into the sky. Stevens goes about 15 feet into the air before heading back down towards the canvas. Toddi goes to take advantage by going for a jumping DDT, but somehow on the way back down, Stevens is able to grab a hold of the champion’s head. However he’s unable to do anything and Toddi reverses right as the two head crashing to the canvas, Toddi hitting the MKO right before the two fall in for a nasty landing that makes the crowd gasp.

Toddi rolls over and covers the challenger to his International Championship and the referee comes over to count.
1!
2!
Stevens kicks out and Carrie and Steve Ramone breathe a sigh of relief at ringside. Jason however is not allowed to even more as Matthew Toddi is quickly right back on him. Toddi has mounted Stevens and is beginning to lay in on the challenger, at least this way avoiding any booby trap that hasn’t been set off yet. As he does so, Chaos and Krusher appear at the top of the rampway.

Tex: And we have some extra company. I doubt they’d do anything stupid in a match such like this though. They could get blown to smithereens!

Duff: They’re the Blood Brothers. I even know that nothing scares them. But as long as Toddi’s ahead here, they won’t interfere. I doubt it.

Chaos and Krusher just both look on as Stevens now begins to block the shots that Toddi’s delivering to him. Stevens now attempts to get up, but Toddi delivers Rolling Thunder. Unfortunately for the champion though he sets off another trap as a small C4 Bomb explodes very close to him that rattles him quite a bit.

Duff: Geez! Toddi almost got blasted!

Chaos tells Krusher to go make sure that Toddi’s okay, but Krusher only takes 2 steps before “The Golden Age of Grotesque” by Marilyn Manson hits the speakers and Goth comes out walking slowly, shaking his head over at the Blood Brothers. He then looks down at the ringside area as Steve Ramone and Carrie Stevens look his way now. In the ring Jason Stevens has actually begun to lock in an STF submission hold to the champion.

Goth: Krusher…where do you think you’re going? That match down there is between Stevens and Toddi. If there is ONE more step taken by you, this match is over and the title will be back up for grabs between these two at next month’s pay per view. Same goes for you Chaos and for the two of you down there that are supporting Jason. Now either all of you head backstage now or this match is over.

Tex: Whoa! Goth laying down the law…

Duff: Yeah, surprisingly not Irons doing it.

None of them move though so Goth makes his final decision on the matter…

Goth: Actually, now that I think about it, since Krusher has interfered I'm going to declare this match a no contest, and therefore stripping the title from Toddi. The two of you will go at it again in a month at the August Pay Per View.

All of a sudden the opening riff to "Seek and Destroy" hits the PA and John Irons can be seen walking out, mic in hand. Goth turns around and begins fuming. Irons just stands there for a moment, smirking at him before speaking.

Irons: Now hold on one second here, oh Gothic one. You’re not seriously going to do this to them are you? I mean of all the bull headed and dumbass things you’ve done, this is the icing on the cake. I think Toddi and Stevens as well as all of our fans deserve the match to go on.

Goth glares at the big man, standing almost nose to chest.

Tex: Uh oh. This can’t be good!

Duff: No Kidding! Kick his ass Goth!

Goth: I think not. Here I make the rules, and you follow them, understand Lurch? This match is over!

Irons: I own a majority stock in this company and am the co-owner of this federation. I am also the interim General Manager….The match continues, Emo freak!

Duff: He can’t say that to our beloved Owner!

Tex: He just did, stupid. And he does own the other half of this company.

Goth: It’s OVER…Frankenstein! Get it through your oversized thick skull!

Duff: Hah hah! He called him Frankenstein!

Irons: It will continue, or do I have to teach you another lesson like I did at WrestleQuest II?

Tex: It looks like it could get out of control fast here! Toddi and Stevens’ match in limbo as well as the International Title!

Goth: Hit me with your best shot, Irons. It will be the last time you ever do. The match is OVER!

Irons raises his first, ready to strike the co-owner. The fans can be heard chanting and shouting “Do It! DO IT!” Goth mouths to Irons, “Hit me with your best shot” again. After a moment, Irons concedes, to a roar of boos.

Irons: Nah, it ain’t gonna work like that Dutch Boy. I’m not about to hand over my share of the company over to you, though I’d like to knock the shit out of you. But I’ll tell you what…. ….You’re right. This match is over!

Tex: Whaaat!?

Irons: Krusher, if we catch you interfering in another match, your ass will be mine! As far as Toddi and Stevens are concerned, I agree with the decision here. The match is a no contest and will be reheld next month!

Duff: No freaking way!

John turns to Goth and both men shake hands smirking as the scene turns to a commercial for A Merkins Made.

Winner:

None

Vs.

The scene comes back from an extended A Merkins Made series to the Pay Per View as we see the structured cage of the newly founded and created match, 3 Phases of Asylum.

Stormy canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Universal Championship!! This match will be contested under the rules of the three stages of HELL!! The first stage will be the cage where the cage will be surrounded by scorpions and snakes!! After twenty minutes these cage walls will open and then the second cage will emerge where it is filled with hardcore weaponry!! And the final cage will be the cage where the cage will surrounded with electricity and fire!!! After the final cage walls have opened is the moment where the first wrestler who sets foot outside the ring and on the ground that has won the match!! Let the first contestants enter the arena!! The first wrestler to come down is the challenger, standing in at 6’6 and weighing in at 246 pounds!! Hailing from Ellis, New York!! Hank Henry III!!!!

Hank Henry comes out with his limping manager Chaplin Graves, they discuss the pro and cons of the upcoming match

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent!! Standing in at 6’3 and weighing in at 243 pounds!! Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee!! The Universal Champion!!! Ronin!!!

The lights in the arena go out and the crowd begins to buzz in anticipation as 'Violence Fetish’ by Disturbed begins to play over the PA system. The opening riff slowly grows louder, causing the entire building to rumble…

"Bring the violence,
it's significant
to the life if you've ever known anyone.
Bring the violence,
it's significant
to the life can you feel it?
Oh ow, ow!"
A thunderous explosion rocks the arena as fireworks and pyrotechnics fill the entrance area. As the smoke clears, Ronin and Ilati step through the haze onto the entrance ramp to a jumbled chorus of cheers and chants, the International Championship belt shining around Ronin's waist. They walk to the bottom of the ramp and stop.
Ronin holds the International Title over his head as another pop of pyro goes off behind him.
He smiles ear-to-ear as he slowly walks toward the ring, chanting and high-fiving along with the fans on his way. He hands the International Title to Ilati, leaving her to stand outside the ring as he slides under the bottom rope and begins to circle the ring in anticipation.

Tex Martin: This is going to be a good one!!

Duff Travers: Not to mention a sick one!!!

The bell rings as both men have entered the first cage, they stare around them as they see snakes everywhere and scorpions crawling everywhere as they stare a hole through each other. The clock has began counting for the first 20 minutes as the crowd is cheering them on. Ronin and Hank are starting to share some words towards each other before Hank slaps Ronin acrosst he face with an open hand and then goes for an Irish Whip. That sends the champion inches next to a snake that is hanging on to the wall of the cage. Just before the creature can strike we see Ronin getting away from the cage wall and clotheslining down Hank as he comes charging in on the champion.

Tex Martin: That was close!!!

Ronin grabs Hank and delivers a Body Slam before instinctively going for the cover, but the referee tells him that there is no pinfall in this type of match.

Duff Travers: That’s a move that may cost ya!!

Ronin grabs Hank by the head and locks him in a reversed chinlock, while putting pressure on the neck of the slightly bigger wrestler. Hank grabs the head of Ronin as he tries to get to his feet and delivers a chin breaker that causes Ronin to crash into the cage. This causes some of the snakes to fall on top of him, but the Universal Champion manages to grab them and throw them away before they can mean any harm. Ronin holds on to the chin before he gets grabbed by the hair and Hank slams him face first into the steel cage wall as he tries to drive his face straight into the wall.

Tex Martin: We all knew that this could happen in a cage match like this, but with the extra weaponry that is surrounding the ring it is impossible to think about the consequences!!!

Hank slams the face into the cage wall once more before slamming him back in the ring as he runs off towards Ronin and executes a legdrop. But this time Ronin slides out of the way causing Hank to hit the canvas hard. We can see the clock slowly ticking away as there has been several minutes that has passed on. Ronin grabs Hank’s leg and goes for a standing leg lock and puts pressure on the ankle while driving his knee in the knee joint. Hank manages to catch a scorpion and throws it at Ronin who reacts by slapping the scorpion away who stings him.

Duff Travers: Whoa!!!

Tex Martin: Don’t worry people, these wrestlers have been getting vaccins against these animals. They won’t die of anything that will happen tonight… HOLY SHIT!!!

Just as Ronin shakes off the cobwebs we see Hank charging in on him and delivers a spear into the midsection of the champion that sends him into the cage wall. Hank starts to blast away as the clock has reached halfway the first 20 minutes. Hank executes a Snap suplex and then starts to climb the cage wall as he wants to get to the next level.

Duff Travers: Can he do that??

Suddenly Ronin gets up and grabs Hank by the waist and executes a Backsuplex that sends Hank crashing down on the canvas as Ronin is trying to catch his breath as well as his number one contender. Ronin slowly gets to his feet and gets on top of the chest of Hank as he starts to deliver some heavy blows to the chest before delivering a fierce elbow drop to the sternum of the challenger. We can see Hank holding on to his chest as he feels the aftermath of the blow that was dished out and he is trying to catch some breath. Ronin climbs the cage, but then drops to the canvas with a leg across the chest area of Hank as he drives his knee in the stomach area. He repeats the move several times before going for a Body Slam move as the clock has reached the fifteen minute mark.

Tex Martin: Good God!!!

Ronin grabs Hank by the head and sets him up for a run in with the cage, but just when he sends his challenger for the title in the cage wall the unthinkable happened. The impact of the blow makes the cage wall collapse on the ground and against the second cage wall that with the force going on collapses as well and drops on the electric wall. The final one remains standing as Ronin runs over to grab some weaponry as the fans are cheering him on.

Duff Travers: That surely changes some of the possibilities in this match!!

Ronin grabs a chair and swings at the battered Hank Henry before dropping the chair and setting Hank for a DDT on the chair, but Hank grabs the champion by the waist and runs him towards the electric cage wall that shocks the champion as the fire on the outside rises to great heights . Ronin feels the aftershock of the electricity that goes through his body as Henk starts to grab the chair and blasts it across the face before driving it in the stomach area of Ronin and then drops it before dropping Ronin with a Double Arm DDT. Hank shows the world he is ready as he grabs the champion and slams him into the cage wall. Ronin staggers forwards where he walks straight into the

Tex Martin: The Care Bear Stare!!!

After hitting the move Ronin falls backwards. Hank sees the cage wall wobbling as he jumps into the cage and it swings open as Hank falls to the outside, passing the fire and lands on the outside as the bell rings.

Tex Martin: Some bad construction on the cages! But we have a new Universal Champion!! Hank Henry III!!!

Stormy Canyon: The winner of the match!!! And NEW Universal Champion!! Hank Henry III!!!!

The fans erupt for the happening as the referee hands Hank the championship belt. He stands there for a moment almost in disbelief as the scene fades to the AWA logo.

Winner:
