The camera goes backstage - into The Inmates' locker room - where Chris Shipman is seen wrapping a strand of barbed wire around his arm; droplets of blood drip from his skin. Standing against the wall, next to the couch, are Toxic Angel and Dmitri. They are seen speaking to each other with their arms interlocked. Off camera the locker room door clicks open as Rex Butler and Alisha Hicks walk into the room. Rex has the Universal Title draped over his shoulder. He looks around the room, nodding his head at the sight he sees before him.
Rex: "Well, I guess I should be the first one to welcome you two back to this wonderful place we call home. As you can tell... things haven't changed a whole lot since you two were gone. But, the one thing that hasn't changed is that, as we all sit and stand in this room tonight, the Inmates are running the Asylum. I'm not going to lie. That mission had been a difficult one to keep for nearly a month on my own. And, yeah, I lose the Universal Title to Erik Black during that time. But, I made damn sure to get it back before everyone returned. But, Shipman and Toxic, I knew you two were gone for reasons that no one else needs to know. However, that does leave me to ask one simple question: where in the fuck have you been, Dmitri?"
Dmitri turns his attention away from Toxic and stares at Rex; his eyes glowing dark with rage. Rex takes a few steps towards one of the three people to pin his shoulders to the ground. They stand face to face with each other for a few tense moments as the crowd in the arena cheers wildly, hoping for an implosion.
"All this time you've been walking around the backstage area... in the same building as me, and you've appeared to have nothing to do with this group. I know that every single one of us has our own agendas, and I know that we're all capable of acheiving those things without the rest. But, we formed under the idea that we would do whatever it took to get rid of Goth and The Family. There's an unwritten understanding that we have each other's backs whenever the need arises. Dmitri, that hasn't happened as of late. And, I know you're not the only one to blame. Being focused on getting my revenge on the Family and taking back this title, I didn't live up to that deal either. But, here's hoping that now that the Inmates are all back... things will be different. And, trust me: things will be different."
Rex backs away from Dmitri, who continues to stare a whole through Butler, as the champ stands in the middle of the locker room.
"Tonight is the night that we show our dominance in this company once again! Eliza, tonight you've got Fang. I man I've teamed up with a long, long time ago. I man I've fought inside this ring on multiple occassions. I know that he hasn't been the same since he returned to the AWA... and I know that you've got what it takes to beat his ass from every corner of that ring to the other. I know that you want this victory more than anything, to prove that you haven't lost a single step since your leave of absence. Tonight is your chance to prove everyone wrong; everyone who thought you couldn't come back and be as successful as you were: fuck 'em!"
"And, Chris... Triple Threat Match? I've seen what you've said this week. And, I can only hope that during your time off, you've been thinking of new ways to dismantle people. I hope that you've been racking your brain for new ways to torture and torment your opponents. Because if you're able to do that, than there is no way in hell you're walking out off this arena with a loss. You don't want to lose this match... none of us want either of us to lose. But, both of you know how important your first matches back are. Its up to you two to make sure Fang, Glen Frank and Michael Hyde know as well."
Rex goes silent for a moment before looking around the room, nodding his head, and leaving. The scene fades to black as Shipman, Toxic and Dimitri stare at the empty room before them.
In the parking lot, the AWA cameras have been sent to check out a report that Father Raul Mendoza, accompanied with a few other members of the Opus Dei organisation, have arrived and are making their way to ringside. The ban on their actions within the AWA has expired and they are obviously keen to get back to business. Four shadowy figures can be seen heading towards a side door to the arena, not heading to the locker room as first expected
Duff: Hey, Tex! That's that Mendoza guy! And he's bought friends!
Tex: I wonder how much he had to pay them, Duff. But what are they doing here? Sure, their ban has now been lifted as per the stipulations... but surely with so much hate brewing for Canis and the Opus Dei sector... they're crazy to be here! Let alone heading for the crowd!
Duff: Lets just hope security don't bother this week and turn a blind eye to the sick freaks getting their Holy asses handed to them!
Just as Duff finishes speaking, there is indeed a disturbance along the front row next to the stage area. Low and behold, Father Raul Mendoza - flanked by his three accomplaces - are being escorted by security to their seats at ringside. Plastic cups and half-eaten burgers are among the debris this capacity crowd are hurling at them, staining their black and purple robes in coca-cola and mustard. They look afraid, though determined to find their seats. After several moments of pushing past the front row, they take up residence behind Tex and Duff, the security barrier remaining between themselves and the riled crowd
Duff: Can you believe this? They're sat right behind us! Hey, virgin boy... get out of here! We don't want your kind here!
Tex stifles a laugh as Duff awaits a reply, though all he receives is a blank stare. He tries again, standing up this time...
Duff: Hey, ASSHOLES! Get your smug rear-ends off our seats and out on the streets! You're not welcome here, you got that?!
Tex: Ok, Duff... i know you're irritated but please sit down, we got a match to call. They won't do anything...
Duff: Damn right, they won't!
The men make themselves comfortable, trying their best to remain ignorant to the incredible levels of abuse they are receiving from the AWA's most hardcore support... and Duff!
Sapphira can be seen in Goth’s office while the boss is away. She’s taking care of some of the creature comforts for her man. She grabs a bottle of red wine from a case that was brought in and opens it. She doesn’t see the shadow behind her until it’s too late. The door slams and she turns around to see the piercing red eyes of the Man in Black.
Sapphira: You know Jon you shouldn’t be in here. Goth is going to be mad.
Fang: I don’t care about what Goth is going to be anymore. You see it’s been him and me going at each other for so long I’ve kinda forgotten who I really am. Who I was before I met him. Don’t worry Sapph, had I wanted to do something to you I would have by now. I just want you to relay a message to my brother.
Sapphira tilts her head as she wonders what this message is. Fang gets in real close, almost close enough to kiss the pale goth girl’s red lips, but he sneers.
Fang: He wants to see the Fang of old, he’s got it. He better realize though that he might not like the results. I don’t care about him and his Family. I don’t give a shit about the Inmates. The only person I’m going to care about from now on is me. If he doesn’t like that it’s too damn bad. He made his mark on the wrestling business. He did great things in his time. Well my time is coming and all I really want my brother to do is stay the hell out of my damn way. If he wants to try and stop me well then he’ll be the one responsible for opening up old wounds. He’ll be the one who restarted the damn war. I won’t hold back if that happens.
Fang puts a finger on Sapphira’s lips. He traces the contours of the ruby red temptations as he looks her dead in the eyes. A bit of a growl in his voice.
Fang: Nothing will be off limits if he decides to pull his shit again. Nothing Sapphira, not even you. I’m being kind enough to give him this warning. I don’t want to hurt my brother. He’s been a fair man to me, but I have my own shadows to cast and he loves to play his mind games. I’m not going to have any of that. He wanted a Beast who could play the game at a higher level and that’s just what I intend to give him. This isn’t a Beast he’s going to like, Sapphy, This is a BEAST WHO WILL BE KING.
Fang then plants a deep kiss on Sapphira and then turns and walks out. As he slams the door shut behind him, Sapphira looks him up and down and gets a big evil grin on her face.
Sapphira: Welcome back, Big Boy. Nice to finally see you get your shit together. Right, Darling.
Goth walks out from his private changing room and smiles a wicked smile at his woman. He then begins to laugh a bit a tinge of self satisfaction in his laughter as the show goes to commercial.
Tex: Toxic and Fang are set to face each other for this week as the first match, Duff. Any thoughts?
Duff: Yeah, she's hot!
Tex: Good thing you're not facing her in the ring tonight.
Duff: Why:?
Tex: Because she'd tear you from limb to limb, that's why!
Duff: That's why Fang is there, so I don't have to worry about it!
Sometimes, I think you're hopeless. Anyway, Stormy is ready to go!
Stormy: Ladies and gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Long Pond, PA, weighing at 220 lbs........FANG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Entrance The howl of a wolf is heard as the lights in the arena dim. Wolfmoon from Type O Negative begins to play and a shower of white pyros comes from the entrance. Fang walks out in his wrestling attire, a nice white t-shirt, black jeans and black shoes. He walks around the ring area with a sneer on his face but finally slaps hands with some of the fans, while he recieves a mixed reaction. Fang slides into the ring to await his opponent.
Stormy: Introducing his opponent. from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing at 136 lbs.....TOXIC ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Get Pyscho' begins to play as there is a mix reaction from the crowd and the lights begin to fade out. A green spotlight lights up the top of the ramp as Toxic Angel is seen walking out onto the top of the ramp from behind the curtains. As she begins walking down the ramp, she stops at the half way point and begins to run the rest of the way making sure to slide into the ring under the bottom rope. Flipping up to her feet, the lights begin to fade back to normal as she stands in the middle of the ring and stares down Fang, as he walks over to her, towering the smaller female and grinning wickedly. Then the two back up into their corners...
Tex: Toxic and Fang are finally going at it, the war of words ending and the war of brutality begins!
Duff: Go Toxic Go!
Tonic Angel and Fang hook up in the middle of the ring, but Fang gets the first strike on her with a few quick knees until she is backed into the ropes. Fang then tosses her to the other side, but Toxic manages to duck underneath a clothsline, then faces him and goes for a spinning heel kick, staggering the big man. Then she leaps in the air, goes for a hurricana, and is able to execute the move in succession. Fang flies to the other side and lands on the mat harshly, but Toxic refuses to let go of the assault, landing in a few elbows to the chest before leaping off the top rope and landing on Fang with the lionsault! She hooks the leg, but Fang overpowers her at the count of two. Toxic picks up Fang and tries to go for a DDT, but Fang refuses to move and counters instead with a DDT of his own! Fang goes for his own pin, but Toxic gets the shoulder up at the count of two. Fang picks her up and literally throws her into the upper-left corner and chops away at her chest, Toxic reacting by clutching her chest in pain. Then Fang steps back a few paces before he charges forward with a big boot to the face, but Toxic managed to avoid it in time and retaliated by hitting him with an elbow smash to the face. Fang staggers back, clutching his face in pain as she ascends the top rope and then leaps in the air, Fang's back turned on her, as she flips over and lands a killer flying neckbreaker! Fang is back down, Toxic going for another pin, but Fang barely gets the shoulder up on the count of two. Toxic is angry at the count that the referee makes, but ignores it and flips back to her feet before starting to kick him down like a dog. She then tries to go for a submission manuever by grabbing his legs, but Fang uses both of his feet to push her away to the ground as he rolls backwards and regains his footing. She tries to go after him with a flying clothsline, but he grabs her in midair and powerslams her to the mat with tremendous force. He goes for his own pin, but Toxic gets the shoulder up at the count of two. Fang picks up the little girl and headbutts her in the face, she lands on her back very quickly, she rolls onto her stomach and tries to shake it off. Fang kicks her on the ribs hard for her to land on her back, then lands a crushing right knee into her stomach, knocking out her wind. He picks her up and throws her into the ropes, but she surprises him with a dropkick out of nowhere! Fang staggers back a bit as Toxic rushes towards him, only to quickly spin around him, grab him around the waist and lands a powerful german suplex! The crowd gasps at her strength as both Toxic and Fang are down, both exhausted by this point. As the referee is beginning to count, the audicence helping, the count reaches five as Toxic Angel manages to get on her feet.
Tex: Both are providing solid offense to each other and ithe crowd is liking it!
Duff: Wait a second, Tex, is that...
The Golden Age Of Groseque blares over the speakers and Goth appears from the curtains, standing at the ramp, watching the proceedings. Toxic Angel looks at his direction and starts to scream at him through a lot of trash-talking. Meahwhile, Fang rolls away and tries to regain his senses as Goth and Toxic Angel stare each other from opposite ends. Fang uses the ropes to get back on his feet, then stalks Toxic Angel, grinning wickedly. Toxic Angel sees Goth pointing behind her and when she does, she was not quick enough to avoid Fang's brutal finisher, THE FATAL SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Duff: No, I can't believe the hottie allowed her to do that! This is bad!!!
Fang goes for the cover and hooks the leg.....1......2.....3!!!!
Stormy: Here is your winner - FANG!!!!!!!!!
Tex: Well, Duff, it looks like the hottie got herself distracted for the kill.
The referee calls for the bell as Fang slides out of the ring and sees Goth for the first time, who is clapping in regards to Fang's performance. The referee manages to get out of the ring so that he can raise Fang's arm in victory. Then the referee goes back to check up on Toxic Angel as the two brothers get close and and a long, intense staredown is given between the two men before Fang walks away from Goth and walks through the curtain.
The camera opens in the interview spot where Stormy Canyon awaits Michael Hyde. He shows up in mere moments and the interview begins.
Stormy: "Your thoughts on the match tonight, Mr. Hyde."
Michael Hyde: "What is there left to say?
In about half an hour or so, it will be all said and done. one of us, will be laughing about it. The rest of us, will only be smiling on the outside.
But Fang is who I want to talk about. I saw your 'reawakening' and thought to myself:
What better way to welcome the new you then the old me?
We could do it next Monday at Insomnia, it would be great! I'll even let you choose the match. Think about it and have 'your people' call 'my people' and we can all get together! See Ya!"
Hyde walks away and leaves Stormy Just standing there
Goth:What the fuck is this? John Irons: It's an old Italian mafia sign. It means Jason sleeps with the fishes. Probably some Inmate's poor attempt at comedy. John Irons dismisses the “threat” and goes through his luggage when he uncovers a bloody severed head from a my little pony doll. He lets go a scream of anger as the camera goes back to ringside
The Arena goes black}
"Drowning deep in my sea of loathing, broken your servant I am...."
Green and Purple lighting swells the area
..."Will you listen to me?..."
Stage lights white
...Michael Hyde appears on the stage wearing a purple leather trench coat over his ring attire, with his back to the ring and looking over his right shoulder. While the song continues to play in the background, he spins around and stares at the ring. He then begins to methodically walk down the ramp.
Colored pyro fires from the ramp as he walks down. purple to the left, and green to the right. }
He slides belly first into the ring and then climbs one of the far turnbuckles and just stares off seemingly into space.
15 seconds. Queue music out and resume normal event lighting.
SC: The following contest is your opening match scheduled for one fall and it will be contested under Triple Threat Rules, first from Parts Unknown weighing in at 208ibs MICHAEL HYDE!!!
Texx: Hyde won against Fang last week in an impressive showing, however he has not one but TWO opponents to contend with tonight.
Duff: Yeah, another newbie and Chris fucking Shipman, I don’t know about you but my money’s on Shipman!
”Let the Bodies Hit the Floor, Let the Bodies hit the floor Let the Bodies Hit The......FLOOOORRRRRRRRR!!!!!!”
“Bodies” by Drowning Pool starts tairing the sound system apart as red and white strobe lights hit the arena, Glen “Blood Lust” Franks steps out onto the stage glaring at the fellow newbie, he pays not attention to the crowd and slides into the ring and starts talking trash to Michael Hyde.
SC: Contestant number 2, weighing at 250ibs “Killer Instinct” Glenn “Blood Lust” Franks!
Texx: Does that guy really need two nicknames?
Duff: Why do you even care?
”Man That You Fear” by Marylyn Manson hits the speakers and the lights go out, suddenly an eruption of pyro creates a blast over the entrance ramp as we see Chris Shipman comes out next, The Inmates member has a bloodied forehead and was carrying a barbed wire noose, as he entered the ring the ref confiscated the noose and the two rookies didn’t notice him, however Shipman soon makes his presence felt by attacking both men by slamming their heads together.
Texx: Shipman’s making his presence felt already.
Once the ref gets the noose out of the way he signals for the bell and the match officially begins, Shipman’s attacked stunned Hyde and Franks but didn’t knock them down, Shipman decides to focus on the bigger of the two men whilst Hyde regains his senses and the two men start brawling, Franks, being the bigger of the two, has the advantage throughout the brawl eventually clotheslining Shipman to the floor, however Hyde sneaks up behind him and rolls him up 1....2.....kickout by Franks.
Texx: If Hyde thought that he would get the pin this early in the match then he is dead wrong.
Duff: Thank god for that! I actually DID put money on Shipman winning!
Hyde is on his feet and waits for Blood Lust to get up, it doesn’t take long for Blood Lust to get back up and Hyde charges going for a running Clothesline, Blood Lust ducks and Shipman pulls down the top rope from the outside sending Hyde to the floor, Shipman slides into the ring and hits a bulldog on Blood Lust, he goes for a cover 1.....2.....Hyde pulls Shipman out of the ring and starts brawling with him.
Texx: That’s the danger of a triple threat match, there’s no telling what will happen......LOOK OUT BELLOW!
Whilst the two men where brawling Blood Lust recovered and hit the two men with a Suicide Dive, the crowd goes crazy when they see the carnage and Blood Lust takes a moment to collect himself, when he does he picks up Hyde and rolls him back into the ring, however Blood Lust doesn’t get a chance to follow him in as Shipman attacks Blood Lust from behind and rolls into the ring himself, Hyde is up by the time Shipman rolls into the ring but Shipman boots him in the gut and hits a Snap Suplex before floating over into a cover 1.....2.....Blood Lust breaks it up at the last second and soon enough all three men are brawling with one another with neither of the three men having a clear advantage over the other, Shipman, being the more experienced of the three men, soon gains the advantage and low blows Hyde and Blood Lust, he goes for a cover on Blood Lust 1....2.....kickout, Shipman shakes off the frustration and covers Hyde 1.....2.....kickout by Hyde, this time Shipman doesn’t have time to register his frustration as Blood Lust has attacked him from behind with a clubbing blow to the back, after putting the boots to both Shipman and Hyde he picks up the former and slams him down before going to the top rope, Shipman and Hyde get up at the same time and Blood Lust hits them both with a back flip into a cross body slam.
Texx: He calls that The Red Dawn and both of his opponents have felt it’s wrath!
Blood Lust covers both men at the same time 1.....2.....both men kick out at the same time and Blood Lust, looking frustrated due to his inexperience, argues with the ref saying that that was a three count, the ref simply shakes his head ignoring Blood Lust as the youngster barely notices Shipman getting up but it’s to late for him to do anything about it because Shipman hits him with a punch to his back, and another, before spinning him around and hitting him with a Diamond Cutter and going for a cover 1....2....kickout by Blood Lust and Hyde is back on his feet, Hyde notices that the two men are distracted and takes advantage of it by charging at Shipman and hitting him with a clothesline to the back of the neck, Shipman quickly recovers and starts brawling with Hyde again but it ends quickly with a round house kick to the head of Hyde knocking him down, Blood Lust is up and they start brawling.
Texx: This has been non stop action from the get go!
Shipman, looking tired from the match, looks to end things by hitting Blood Lust with a DDT, it connects and Shipman goes for a cover 1.....2....kickout.
Texx: Doesn’t Shipman know that that move hasn’t ended a match since the eightees?
Shipman apparently hears Texx and whips him into the corner and sets up Blood Lust for his Top Rope Jackhammer, however when Shipman gets Lust into position Lust gets out of it and backdrops Shipman to the outside, as Lust recovers his bearings Hyde runs up behind him and hits him with a kick to the back, Hyde swiftly gets up the tunbuckle and hits Blood Lust with a Devastating Top Rope Pedigree.
Texx: LET’S PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE!
Duff: Texx this isn’t the time to be quoting movie lines!
Texx: No, that’s the name of the finisher!
Duff: Oh, do you think we’ll be sued for that?
Texx shrugs as Hyde covers Lust 1....2....3!!!!
SC: Here’s your winner MICHAEL HYDE!
Hyde rolls out of the ring and raises his hands in the air as he has won another match
The camera opens somewhere backstage in the arena at Uniondale, New York. Metamania, dressed in his wrestling gear, is pacing back and forth, an angry look over his face. Right next to him is Page Harris, who starts to talk...
Page: Metamania, what are your...
Metamania quickly shuts off with a hand before her face, then drops the hand and looks at the camera with a major glare.
Metamania: You know what, Canis? I'm so sick and tired of you! I think the rest of hte world is too, while you are at it. All this hoopola about your Christanity crap has GOT TO END. What you did last week did nothing more but to land you in a place of trouble and I do mean BIG TROUBLE! We all heard your reasons as to why you did what you had to do, but it is unfortunately not acceptable. Quite frankly, you did it because you are jealous of me. You don't want me or anyone else being on top of the AWA at all, except for you and your "God". But I don't believe, for a nanosecond, that no one wants you there, because you are exactly what I called you, Canis. A worthless worm! You can be easily crushed within my boot! I don't like John Irons these days, but I'm grateful enough for him to give me the match that will end your sorry career! I want blood tonight and your blood is perfect. You have committed the greatest sin and no one and I mean NO ONE will be able to forgive you for the crime you committed. No "God" can ever forgive you for the sin last week and I certainly won't be either! Fact is, when I kill you tonight and kill you I shall, you will no longer be one of us in the hallowed halls of the Asylum Wrestling Alliance. I am called "The One And Only" for a VERY GOOD REASON, Canis. You may be taller than me, stronger than me, or such crap. But it doesn't faze me. I've bought bigger men before and I'm not afraid to run away from a challenge. Tonight, Canis, your blood is my reward and all the talk in the world will be for nothing, because in the end, Canis, the truth about you will ultimately be revealed. It is your death that I will be happily enough to grant you and you won't like it. And I know you won't and I don't care if you don't. I'll see you in the ring, bitch!
With that, Metamania walks away, snarling with rage as Page stares after him as the camera fades to black>
The shot is replaced by an image of Canis sat on the cold, concrete floor in his darkened locker room - only candlelight illuminating his features for all to see. He looks disturbed as he has not seen or heard anything from Opus Dei, even though the ban has been lifted for over twelve hours now. Crossing himself, he mumbles
Canis: This is it... this is the day... that Metamania comes crashing back down to Earth with the biggest bang ever spoken of. Superstardom is nothing but an illusion... something man-made to propel somebody of average being to the top of a man-made mountain of shallow fame and fortune.
Yet nothing will ever come close to reaching the peak of anything created by God. Many have tried to scale his mountain, but only the worthy few have been succesful. I will make sure that this message is published with the hardest of force. He will regret even contemplating a world without God...
Canis jumps to his feet abruptly with a crunched face of anger and determination, accidentally kicking over the candle stand in the process. As he barges through the locker room door oblivious to anything but the battle that he rides into, one of the candles dislodges from it's holder and roles across the floor towards a large, weighty tomb that lies upon the concrete, opened. The two collide without a sound, until the wooshing sound of fire consuming paper crackles in the silence. The camera pans round slowly to reveal the title of the book...
"The Holy Bible"
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will be contested under the special First Blood Final Standing Rules!! The winner is the one that makes his opponent bleed and then knock him out for the ten count!!!
The fans roar as they hear the announcement and the music of the first competitor starts to play as Stormy starts to announce him.
Stormy Canyon: The first wrestler to come down the aisle, stands in at 5'6 and weighs in at 176 pounds!! Hailing from New York City, New York!!! Metamania!!!
The sounds of an alarm, along with gunfire, blare over the speakers as does the whirling of helicopter blades before the guitars and drums kick off Disturbed's Indestructible. As Metamania steps out from behind the curtain and stands at the center of the top of the ramp, two pyros, from each side, blast a few times. Freya, dressed in her sexy wrestling outfit, walks over to her man, standing next to him and the two take each other's hand and start walking down the ramp aisle. They break off so that they can greet the fans with handshakes, high fives, and smiles, the crowd happy to see Metamania as they roar loudly. As they reach ringside, Metamania jumps on the apron side of the ring, then sits on the bottom rope while pulling the top rope up, looking at his wife, smiling widely. Freya returns his smile with her own as she steps through the ropes, then Metamania follows suit. The One And Only walks over to both Stormy Canyon and the referee, shaking their hands and greeting them with his trademark smile. Then he walks over to the center of the ring, faces down the camera looking back at him, and raises his right hand in the air, immediately clenching his fist. The arena lights go off as green pyro shoots from all four corners of the ring four times. The song then fades away, the lights go back up, and Freya grabs her man and kisses him passionately before the couple break it off. She then exits the ring, lands on the concrete floor, and watches her man closely, beginning to shout support and encouragement as Metamania shifts his attention to the entrance ramp, his game face already on, awaiting the arrival of his opponent
Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, standing in at 6'4 and weighs in at 232 pounds!! Hailing from parts unknown!!! Canis!!!!
The stadium lights flicker into darkness, bringing a hushed silence and a chillingly cool breeze amongst the crowd. After a brief moment, the unmistakably haunting 'Schizophrenic' begins to spew from the speakers, an eerie yet ironically holy white glow shines down from the rafters onto the stage area, bringing with it the wretched figure of Canis, accompanied by Father Raul Mendoza. The crowd look on in mere digust for this bringer of suffering as he makes his way hurredly to the ring, not once looking anywhere but forward. Under his black cloth hood, a disturbing expression is etched on his face as he slides under the bottom rope and kneels down in prayer, hands clenched firmly together. A few moments pass, ending in Canis standing sharply and turning to confer with Mendoza whilst shedding his robe. Composing himself as much as such a disturbed being possibly can, he turns his attention to the rampway to await his opponent, his albino eyes filled with a psychotic hatred as he crosses his body and kisses his hand. He then turns his attention towards his opponent
Tex Martin; This is going to be a good one!! These two have been going at it for the entire week and now we will see who is going to bleed!!!
The bell rings as Freya is going to sit next to Tex and Duff to do some extra color commentary during the match as we see Canis charging in on Metamania as the former champion manages to sidestep the bigger man at the final moment. Metamania then starts to deliver some short punches before delivering some kicks to the side of Canis. Metamania then attempts a Suplex, but the much bigger and heavier Canis blocks it and delivers a big blow to the back of Metamania and drop the much smaller opponent. He grabs him by the head and puts him throat first on the bottom rope and starts to choke him out with it as he puts his knee against the neck. The referee attempts to reason with him as he cannot do anything to stop him from doing this in this type of match. Canis finally lets his knee go from the back of Metamania and then grabs him by the waist and attempts to execute a Back suplex. But somehow Metamania manages to free himself from his clutches and executes a modified Bulldog Headlock in the middle of the ring.
Freya: That's it baby!!
Duff Travers: Uhm Tex? Shouldnt she be impartial??
Tex Martin: Well she's only a guest, I'm not sure if we can force her to be like me.
Duff Travers: And me, don't forget that I'm never impartial Tex!!
Tex Martin: Oh brother
Metamania sits up and starts to unload with punches to the face of Canis, who at this moment is unable to defend himself against the unslaught of his opponent until finally pushing him away. The camera's suddenly turn towards Tex and Duff as we see one of the members of the Opus Dei get from its seat and grabs Freya by the shoulder and pulls her towards him
Freya: What the?
Opus Dei Member #1: You do not belong in this pit of sins sister Freya, we have big plans for you as we have been praying for your saving since the day you returned to the AWA.
Freya: Get away from me!!!
Duff turns around and stares at the member of the Opus Dei with anger in his eyes as the man stares at him with a cold look in his eyes before starting to pray.
Inside the ring we can see that Metamania got distracted because of hearing his wife, he turns his attention to ringside where he looks at her and sees Duff giving him the thumbs up that everything's ok. Metamania turns around and then gets blasted across the face with a punch and then Canis whips Metamania in the corner and immediately follows him up with a running clothesline that sends Metamania crashing down on the canvas after the double impact of the blow. The fans get to their feet and boo Canis, but also starts a chant that Opus Dei sucks. Canis starts to kick away at his opponent before grabbing his feet and deliver a slingshot, that sends Metamania across the ring to the other corner. Metamania holds on to his ribs as he hit the canvas hard before Canis gets up and slowly walks over towards his opponent.
Freya: Come on baby!! Get your filthy hands off of me!!!
We can see another member of the Opus Dei confront her.
Opus Dei member #2: The woman has always been the sign of love and importance in the Holy Book. You as well can become a very important chapter in the Book of Opus Dei... Become our Mary Freya... We have prayed....
Freya gets up and looks at the member of the Opus Dei, seemingly confused by his words as she looks at the fans. Even now Father Mendoza gets from his seat and confronts her.
Mendoza: Join me, sit by my side and have your past love be vaporized by thosew who only follows the true love and your future love.
Freya grins as she is almost as seemingly wants to kiss Mendoza, when suddenly she slaps him across the face and follows it up by scratching him with her long nails. This causing him to bleed from the face as the man is stunned. Then we see Duff getting up as well as Tex and the two demand them to be removed from ringside as security finally does. The fans cheer Freya on as this causes Canis to be distracted as he walks over to ringside and steps out of the ring and confronts Freya.
Duff Travers: Get your freak face back in the ring idiot!!!
Canis stares at Duff as he slowly gets silent, Canis totally forgot about Metamania who has gotten up to his feet and has ran to the other side of the ring to make speed. Then runs towards Canis, jumps on the top rope and then elevates himself in the air to land on the back of Canis in a sitting position. This causes Canis to be droppoed face first on the announce table as this breaks in front of the commentators and his wife.
Crowd: Holy Shit!! Holy Shit!!!
Camera's zoom in on both men as Metamania has some difficulties getting up, while Canis starts to have blood coming from the mouth and as well from his face.
Tex Martin: Good God!!! What a move!!!
The referee starts to utilize the ten count on Canis as the split screen shows how Metamania performed the move on Canis as the referee starts to use the ten count on the former International Champion. Metamania is so into the matcht hat he pulls Canis up to his feet by pulling him on the arm and hair and kicks him several times in the midsection before pushing him against the steel ring post. Metamania turns around and points at the fans as he climbs the Spanish Announce table and then goes for a spear from the announce table. But this time it is Canis that moves out of the way, causing Metamania to hit his shoulder against the steel ringpost and then fall face first on the concrete padded floor. Metamania is not moving as Canis holds himself up by the apron and lets his hand touch his mouth and that is the first time that he sees his own blood on his hands. He stumbles towards Metamania and slams his face hard against the concrete floor a few times before getting up and grabbing a chair and setting it up on the concrete floor. He then grabs Metamania and then executes a DDT on the chair. Canis slowly sits up as Metamania is not moving. The referee is starting to use the ten count as Canis looks on with disgust and a bloodied mouth as Metamania slowly gets to his feet. We can see blood coming out of his mouth as Canis clotheslines him down and then grabs him by the head and tosses him in the ring where he follows him back in. There he grabs Metamania by the head and lifts him up for his patented finisher
Tex Martin: The Illumination!!!
Freya: No!!!!
Canis drives Metamania face first into the canvas as he stumbles towards the ropes and watches as the referee starts to produce the ten count on his opponent before calling for the bell as Metamania could not get up in the count of ten.
Stormy Canyon: The winner of the match.... Canis!!!!
Canis rolls out of the ring as he walks to the back, battered and bloodied in a hard fought match.
Page Harris waited outside of Jason Stevens' locker room. She was waiting for him to come out to get an interview from the champion. The door began to open and she prepared herself. But Jason didnt step out of the room. Instead, it was Erik Black who stepped out. He saw Page and grinned.
Page: Is Jason coming out soon? I've been waiting for a while.
Black: Yes he is. I was just in there explaining just how he can put Blackbone in his place. But if you will, I have a few things to say.
Page nodded and handed Erik the mic.
Black: I've heard from around the locker rooms that you've been running off at the mouth about me bleeding last week. I cant say I blame you. You beat the best this company has to offer in a first blood match. Now you're going around thinking that you cant be stopped. Blackbone..Give me a fucking break. You're still a joke. Did you pin me? No. Did you make me submit? No. Did you knock me out? No. You didnt. What you did was just barely bust open a part of my forehead that had been busted open twice in three weeks. That's what you did. YOu didnt prove to the world that you could actually beat me. I outclassed you from begining to end and well..It's hard to make an opponent bleed when they hide behind a mask. So how about this, Bone. You pick a place...You pick a time. Submission match. Lets see if you really ARENT the jobber that I know you are.
He handed the mic back to Page and went on his way.
The scene opens up backstage at Monday Night Insomnia, we see Jason, Carrie, Sophie, Curtis and Marty McFarge in The Family Locker room, Curtis isn’t doing much save for standing there and looking scary (an easy job for him) whilst the girls are discussing tonight’s matches, Jason is working out in preparation for the match against Black Bone later on tonight whilst Marty watches on.
MM: Jason tonight marks the beginning of great things for all of us! A championship reign means more money, more money means more success and the higher the success the more money we’re bound to make!
CS: Ah why don’t you start making out with money if you like it so much?!
The crowd laugh and even Curtis chuckles at that line, Marty just rolls his eyes as Jason gets to his feet.
JS: Marty is absolutely right Carrie, we may not be having another “The Sensation Show” until next week but that doesn’t mean that I won’t be loosing any matches and as far as I’m concerned I’ll be holding the International Champion for a VERY long time, Sophie have you done your training yet?
Sophie: Yeah, did it whilst you and Marty were in the cafeteria at a gym not far from here.
JS: Good, but remember that next week the real training begins, now if you excuse me I have a match to prepare for!
The camera cuts to ringside as the scene fades.
Black Bone is shown backstage where is walking around moments befoe his big match against Jason Stevens. With that said Black Bone comes across a cut out Jason Stevens and makes his ways and pulls out a lighter.
Bone: Jason Stevens I hope you’ve polished that title real nice, because your ride ends when you burn in hell.
Black Bone than uses the lighter and burns the cut out of Jason Stevens, and Black Bone than smirks.
Bone: Jason enjoy what you’ve done, because for sticking your noise in my business you will have no choice but to spend your final days as International Champion ROTTING IN HELL!!!!!!
Black Bone than lifts up his mask and Mack Blackheart spits on the burning cut out of Jason Stevens and walks away as the scene fades.
Tex: Black Bone will finally have the chance to become the International champion as he takes on Jason Stevens, the man who holds the belt around the waist.
Duff: But Jason Stevens is itching for some payback, especially after what happened when Black Bone distracted him long enough for Rex Butler to make his move and defeat him once again.
Tex; Both are definitely going to be on the offensive tonight!
Duff: Damn right. Let's hope we have a winner tonight and not a bad ending!
Stormy: This match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the AWA International championship! Introducing first, the challenger! From Billings, MT, weighing at 318 lbs - BLACK BONE!!!!!!!!!!
Them Bones plays and the arena gets darker and Black Bone comes out to the ramp and stares down the ring, and cracks his knuckles as he makes his way down the ramp, once he gets to the ring, he he grabs the top ropes the climbs over the top rope, he than does a the death sign cutting the air, as the arena becomes light again.
Duff: Tex, as we watch Black Bone stalk the ring, he's all about business tonight and I don't think he's gonna let anything get in the way of his possible victory over Jason Stevens tonight!
Tex: But I wouldn't be counting Jason Stevens out. He may be going through his peaks and valleys these days, but he has earned the right to be the champion and he'll do everything he can to prove that once again!
Stormy: Introducing his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing at 175 lbs, he is the current AWA International champion.....JASON "THE SENSATION" STEVENS!!!!!!!!!!
The oppening riff for "Halo" is herd over the PA, as soon as it Rob Flynn starts the opening verse Jason emerges from the back with his agent Marty McFarge and his sister Carrie not far behind him, Marty is yelling into his cell phone as he walks down the ramp side by side with Carrie, the fans boo Jason but he ignores them and walks down the ramp, he slides into the ring as Marty and Carrie take up spots at ringside and Jason holds up the International belt high as the cameras are flashing, Black Bone trying to rush forward, but the referee somehow manages to hold him back as Jason turns in his directions and grins widely. Then he hands over the belt to the referee, who shows it to Black Bone, who responds with an intense stare on the belt before shifting his gaze back to Jason Stevens, who returns that stare with his own. Then the referee holds the belt as cameras from the audience flash from everywhere.
Tex: The bell has rung and both superstars of the AWA are currently circling around the ring.
Duff: Whoever makes the first move will definitely have the advantage for awhile, but it could be a short rise before his opponent turns it back at them.
Black Bone and Jason Stevens lock horns in the middle of the ring, but Black Bone's tremendous strengths enables him to push the champion away into the corner. The champion is surprised by his strength, then slowly regains his footing and the two men stare each other before locking horns. Then Jason Stevens begins his assault, punching Black Bone heavily into the ribs, some damage that is felt by Black Bone, other hits just just don't make much difference at all. Then he pushes him away for a second time and when Jason Stevens goes for a clothsline, his efforts are stopped short by a wicked boot to the face! Then he goes for the dragon sleeper, but Jason Stevens uses his agility and twists his way out of the hold before getting Black Bone down on one knee with a low dropkick! Then he hits the ropes, charges forward with a batlte cry bursting forth as he executes a knee lift, stunning the big man completely. Then he executes a swift DDT, crashing Black Bone to the mat. The champion goes for the pin, but Black Bone overpowers him at the count of two, literally lifting him away with his two hands. Then he sits up and then rises to his feet and stares down at the champion, who is shocked. He goes for a cross body splash, but Black Bone catches the man in the air. He holds them there for a few seconds before hitting him with a powerful sidewalk slam! Kane then hooks the leg for the cover, but Jason gets the shoulder up at the count of one. Black Bone rises to his feet and kicks down the champion for a bit before picking him up and clutching his throat with one good hand. But Jason kicks him hard in the groin, but the referee didn't see it, since it was a very fast quick. Black Bone loosens the grip, but Jason grabs the arm, leaps in the air, his legs clutching both sides of the arm before twisting his body, forcing Black Bone to do a short forward flip and landing on the mat. Then Jason Stevens applies for the armbar in succession! Black Bone, through his mask, is screaming in agony as Jason applies the pressure. Black Bone looks around and finds a nearby bottom rope and slowly inches his way over, Jason trying to hold on, but Black Bone manages to get a hold of the bottom rope moments later. Jason is forced to let go, then picks him up and chops his chest a few times, as hard as he can, the crowd gasping with each strike. But Black Bone reversed the position and struck a lot hard with his hand chops, Jason crying out in pain as the crowd gasped even harder with each strike. Then Black Bone tosses Jason Stevens into the ropes and when the champion comes back, Black Bone goes for a wild clothsline, but Jason ducks underneath it, grabs the big man around the waist and surprises the audience with a major german suplex from behind! Black Bone is down, but exhausation from the move came at a price as Jason is also done, breathing heavily.
Tex: The referee is starting to count out both men, Duff. Who will get up first?
Duff: Both men it seems, since neither is willing to give up at all!
The two men regain their footing and the two men exchange quick punches to each other, but Jason surprises Black Bone with a few knees into his stomach. Then he tries to throw him into the ropes, but Black Bone reverses the manuever and Jason hits the ropes. But he manages to hold onto the ropes and not hold on, so when Black Bone charges in with a clothsline in mind, Jason quickly ducked down and held the ropes, forcing Black Bone to fall over the ropes and hit the concrete floor hard. Jason grins wickedly as Black Bone slowly rises, shaking it off, as he uses the Spanish annoucing table for help in getting back up. Jason waits until he rises, then turns around, backflips onto the top rope before pulling off a moonsault! But Black Bone catches the champion in mid air and slams him very hard through the Spanish annoucing table, causing the crowd to say repeateadly "Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!" Both men are down as the referee gets out of the ring and checks on both men quickly, then starts to count them both out. By the time the count of six happened, Black Bone was up first, then goes into the ring for a brief second in order to end the count, then comes back out. The referee is yelling at him, but Black Bone ignores him and picks up the champion. He takes him over to the steel steps and tries to slam his head into the top of the steel steps, but Jason refuses to move and counters as he takes Black Bone's head and slams it into the top of the steel steps instead. Black Bone groans in pain before Jason Stevens executes his martial arts expertise, stunning the big man with a combination of fast punches and kicks before sending it with a devastating spinning back kick, Black Bone staggering back and losing his balance, hitting the floor, face first. By the time the count of seven happens, Jason picks up the man and throws him to the rring, then follows pursuit as the referee also gets back in the ring, the crowd chanting heavily. Jason grabs both feet of the challenger and tries to bring him back, but Black Bone pushes him far away with his feet, sending the little man crashing backwards. As the challenger gets on his feet again, Jason goes right back into punching and kicking Black Bone in a corner this time, althrough Black Bone catches one of the last few punches and strikes with a deadly hand chop to the throat, causing Jason to fall hard on the mat, clutching his throat. Then Black Bone hits a ferocious legdrop before hooking the leg. The champion, however, barely got the shoulder up at the count of two! Black Bone then grabs Jason's left leg and puts him in a single boston crab! Jason is crying out in pain, Black Bone is applying the pressure evern harder, trying to gain some revenge from the armbar Jason applied earlier in the match. Jason tries to crawl over to the bottom rope, but Black Bone brings him right back to the middle of the ring!
Duff: If Jason Stevens doesn't get out of that hold anytime soon, he could lose both the match and the belt!
Tex: Jason Stevens needs to get back into the game, because Black Bone is doing everything he can to win this match once and for all.
Black Bone is giving it all that he can, but Jason starts to crawl over to the bottom rope and within seconds, he grabs a firm hold of the rope. The referee rushes over to Black Bone, telling him to get him off. Black Bone lets go and decides that he's had enough of it and wants to end it once and for all. But as he goes over to drag the champion over, Jason immediately kicked Black Bone hard in the shin, causing Black Bone to grimance in pain, pain shooting up his leg. Jason then rises to his feet and lands a clothsline, sending the big man down somehow. As Black Bone clutches his leg, trying to gain some feeling, Jason Stevens ascends the top rope and looks at the crowd, who are booing him. Ignoring him, he immediately flies into the air, going for his finisher, THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS! But Black Bone rolled away, not even seeing where Jason was coming from at all, and Jason catches nothing but the mat! Jason stands up quickly, but falls down like a tree and looks to be knocked out cold. Black Bone uses the ropes and slowly rises onto his feet, although he is limping big time. He walks over to the champion, grabs him by the throat, applies some pressure into his throat, then raises him in the air and chokes slam him into the ground! Black Bone goes for the pin, but somehow, someway, Jason Stevens barely got the shoulder up at the count of two! Black Bone is angry at the slow count and looks at the referee with a bad, angry look, but the referee insists it was at the count of two. Then he decides that it is finally time to end it. Dragging Jason in between his legs, he does a death cut sign in the air before picking him high for his finisher, REST IN PIECES! But suddenly, Jason Stevens hooks his legs between Black Bone, gets him into a hurricana, throws him over to the other side, then quickly hooks both legs from the pin, Black Bone struggling to get out! 1.....2......3!!!! Black Bone kicks out too late after the count of three and Jason Stevens quickly scrambles out of the ring as Black Bone tries to go after him, but is too late as he stomps the mat floor in a rage as the referee gets the International belt before walking around the ring and giving the belt to Jason, who raises the title high, laughing at Black Bone.
Stormy: Here is your winner and STILL the AWA International Champion - JASON STEVENS!!!!!!!!!!!
Tex: Just when everything right goes for Black Bone, Jason played possum at the very end and got him in a sneak attack that allowed him the win.
Duff: If he didn't take too long arguing with the referee, Black Bone may have become the new champion! But Jason took the distraction and used it as an advantage!
Jason's other arm is raised by the referee as the camera cuts back to Black Bone, who eyes are wide with anger and rage, holding the ropes in a tight grip as Jason continues the laugh as he puts the title over his shoulder and smirks as he walks back up the ramp, the scene slowly fading to black as the two stare down each other hard.
