The stadium lights flicker as the harsh, haunting opening riff of "Better" screams across the PA system, drawing a cheer from the capacity crowd, although some are still coming to terms with Canis' new found freedom from Opus Dei. You can't blame them for being wary of the Universal Champion.

"No one ever told me when i was alone, they just thought i'd know better... better"

Tex: Wait a minute! Canis isn't on the bill tonight??

Duff: You're right.. there's no need for the Universal Champ to be here! Take the night off!

Tex: I got a feeling he's not here to wrestle, though, Duff... more likely to give Rex Butler a piece of his mind after that vicious attack last week

Axl Rose's distinct voice joins the guitar, bringing the lights all the way down to darkness as Canis' video begins to play on the giant screen, the air cooling to a noticable chill.

"No one ever told me when i was alone, they just thought i'd know better... better"

Just as the full band kicks in to the song, the video shows a glass crucifix shattering into tiny pieces as a large flash of white pyrotechniques explode from the stage, bringing the lights back up and revealing Canis stood in the entrance way, sporting several sterile strips over his right eye. As the crowd begin to cheer him, he walks towards the ring with a look of determination painted across his face - occasionally acknowledging the front row with a nod and a forced smile. After sliding under the ropes he calls for a microphone, catching one that's thrown by Stormy Canyon

Canis: Cut it...

With that, the music fades abruptly, the crowd settling down to listen intently to what the Universal Champion has to say

Tex: Canis means business tonight, Duff...

Canis: For the past couple of weeks since i became the Universal Champion, there has been two things in particular that i wanted to do. But i haven't been able to because of this target on my back... so i thought, even though i'm not scheduled to be here tonight in Moscow.. i'll brave the cold and give you people a sight of your Universal Champion.

A loud cheer and applause is followed by yet more intense silence

Canis: First of all, most of you will probably know that for the past few weeks i have been aligning myself with Jonathan Porter.. or Fang to most of you.. as the Dogs of War. But we've rarely been seen in the ring together, because his dear Brother doesn't seem to want to let us loose on anybody in this ring. I understand his concerns for the welfare of his employee's... but i get the distinct impression that a lot of you guys here tonight, and many watching at home, want to see the Dogs of War in action sometime soon... Am i right?

An even louder cheer this time, accompanied by a brief "Dogs of War, Dogs of War" chant

Canis: I thought so...

Without any warning, the howl of a wolf is heard and 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 heads straight to the ring and, after sliding in, grasps Canis' hand in friendship and respect before acknowledging the crowd and picking up a second microphone

Fang: (Grinning) What you see here is the true elite in the AWA. I told everyone, week in and week out that I was heading for the top. I saw a man who had similar potential and I sided with him, not for protection, but for an equal to stand beside. My brother has kept us from attacking the creme de la creme of the wrestling world in team action because he knows the pairing here is more powerful than even the Dark Enforcers ever were. No he'd rather toss brick walls in our way and hope that I defeat Dimitri so that he can watch the Dogs of War melt down when I eventually face Canis for the Universal title.

Canis grins as he looks over at Fang. Fang grins back. He then looks back to the crowd.

Fang: What he doesn't understand is that we had always planned on giving each other a chance at either title. Had in the off chance Canis had not gained the Universal title I had a match ready for him against me for the International Title and Vise Versa. We stand at the top of this federation looking down at the rest of the roster, and we smile, not out of arrogance, but out of anticipation for the challenges to come. The testing of our abilities to see who will stand victorious. The Dogs of War live for conflict and we eat carnage for mana. We will stand on the top of this mountain for as long as we want. My brother, The Family, the Inmates, and the rest of the roster be damned, because we are the best in the AWA. We are the best in the world, We are the Dogs of War. WE ARE The men who rule this ring.

Now I think I'll let my partner finish.

The crowd start howling in apprecation as Fang soaks up the atmosphere before handing back over to Canis, who lets the crowd settle before continuing

Canis: The second thing that i need to address is what happened last week. Now i say "thing" because Rex Butler is no human being, nor is he an animal... so i think "thing" is the best way to sum him up.

You see, after holding the Universal Title for three months and defending against some very worthy opponents, i would have thought Rex would have been able to recognise the correct way of going about arranging a rematch and given the newly-crowned Champion the respect he deserves.

Obviously, i was being optimistic.

But if that's the way you want to do things, Rex then i'm more than happy.. NAY.. ecstatic.. to break the code and do things your way. If charging out here with a steel chair is your idea of fun, then let the party begin son, because there is no way in your hell, my hell, Fang's hell, Moscow's hell or anybody else's hell that you are going to get away with your little party trick last week. What goes around comes around, Rex, and your come uppance is just around the corner.

Before he boils over, Canis takes a few moments to soak up another rasping cheer from the sold out Olympic Stadium crowd and composes himself once more

I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve with it though, Rex. I'm still standing, i'm still walking and i'm still the Universal Champion.. and that makes a mockery of everything you do until you get it back. And that challenge, Rex, is something even you will struggle to come to terms with, because i ain't letting this go for no one. I'm sure that in the very near future, our dear owner will get a little fed up of watching myself and Fang talk the talk.. but when he gives us the chance, we sure as hell will walk the walk. Whether it be defending our own titles or fighting for joint Gold.. you will see the Dogs of War making sure that neither The Family or The Inmates get an iron grip on this Asylum again while we're still around.

Fang joins the crowd in applauding Canis before allowing him to continue

When the moment arrives for our rematch, Rex.. know this. Every ounce of blood, sweat, pride and effort that poured from my body at Bloodshed to beat you, Erik Black and Jason Stevens will merely be a tiny comparison to what i'm willing to do to ensure that i keep my reward. They're already queuing at the boss's door to get a shot at me... Black, Stevens, Dmitri, Metamania... hell, even my own partner...

Canis winks at Fang and lets slip a sly grin, bringing a chuckle from Jonathan Porter

... but i know that none of them will be as sweet as beating you one on one, with no one else to spoil the show. No hangers on. And for sure, this should be no ordinary rematch... oh no. And neither do we want a repeat of the last few weeks where we've had to endure Rex Butler versus Erik Black every damn week. Once i've kicked your ass, Rex.. it's back of the line asshole. I don't care how long you held it for, and i don't care how many times you decide to attack me from behind... Once you've realised that getting the Universal title back is going to take more than a few chairshots, you can look up from the bottom of the ladder as i Illuminate every single opponent that comes and has a go. Then, when your chance comes back around, we can start the cycle all over again. And then...

Before Canis can finish, the "Golden Age of Grotesque" blasts across the sound system and Goth walks out onto the stage area, microphone already in hand and a menacing look in his eyes. Canis and Fang turn towards the boss, irritated to the max that they have been interupted

Tex: Here comes the boss... i got a feeling we're about to find out just how things are gonna pan out over the next few weeks..

Duff: I can't frickin' wait!

Goth: Soon, soon Canis and my dear little brother. Soon you will understand when you have the power... You have to show the world that you can keep it... And tonight, I can make the first cracks in that foundation that you claim to be your power... I will make the world come to realize that when you dare to play me... You will bleed and die... Little brother... I welcome you to your end... I just hope you will realize it in time... Because it comes at the familiar hands of yours truly... The TRUE KING of our family!!!

With that Goth stares at the two men as the shot fades to darkness as we go to a commercial break

The opening riff for "Room For One More" is herd over the PA, as soon as the baseline kicks in Jason emerges from the back with his agent Marty McFarge and his sister Carrie not far behind him with Curtis Ramon slowly walking behind them, 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 where “The Sensation” show set is set up and Curtis, Marty and Carrie join him as the music dies down, Jason grabs a mic.

JS: Hello and welcome to The Sensation Show, I’m your host “The King Of Controversy” Jason “The Sensation” Stevens and with me as always is the incomparable Marty McFarge, my sister Carrie, Sophie would be here but she’s caught the flu and my answer to Steve Wilkos “The Harlem Powerhouse” Curtis Ramon!

The crowd boos as Marty applauds Jason.

JS: Tonight’s guest is a fellow member of The Family, he’s been around since the stone age and is about as good looking as a Caveman! Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only (and thank god for that) “Bulldog” Bill Barnhart!

One Way or Another by Blondie hits the speakers. The tron crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris his English bulldog. The TRON then shifts scenes to several clips of Bill's wrestling matches where he is either administering his Bulldog or Piledriver to his opponent. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains leading Iris on her leash (Iris is not always present at Bill's matches though). Bill comes out dressed in his Dark Pink Business Suit with Light Pink Shirt and Dark Pink Tie. Iris is dressed in her Pink Diamont-Studded Dog Collar. Bill walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the tron. As he walks under the tron, pink pyros erupt causing a cascade of pink sparks to spill down on the entrance walkway around Bill (and Iris if she is accompanying him). Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd. He then takes off with a quick pace to the ring. When Bill arrives at the ring he (hands the leash of Iris to an attendant at ringside) climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then ducks through the ropes into the ring. Bill walks around the ring, then he sits down keeping an eye on Marty, Carrie and Curtis.

BB: Thanks for having me here Jason, though I must admit that I am cautious of the big man over there.

Jason shrugs.

JS: He has that effect on people, anyway that’s not why I invited you here, I invited you here to talk about how I’m going to kick your ass tonight!

Bulldog just sighs.

BB: Like hell! Not only are you going to lost to me but you will be out of The Family, oh yeah and Marty’s little stunt in your last promo is grounds for a slander lawsuit.

Marty panics but Jason calms him down.

JS: Bill, I think we all know that if you wanted to sue Marty we would’ve gotten the notification by Friday morning at the very least.

BB: Touché Jason.

JS: Basically Bill, your nowhere as good as you once where and you where never that good a wrestler in the first place!

BB: Same can be said for Mick Foley and look at how famous he is!

JS: True but he has the charisma to make up for it, anyway Bill do you want to know why I’m so confident that I’m going to beat you?

Bill blinks.

JS: It’s because of this!

Jason nods towards Curtis and Bill turns around, right into an axe kick!

Texx: What’s Jason doing? That’s his own stablemate!

Duff: It’s business Texx, and even if it isn’t Jason isn’t called The King Of Controversy for nothing!

Curtis keeps beating down Bill and Jason orders him to back off and he complies. Jason bends down over Bill’s body.

JS: Nothing personal old man, just business, I’ll see you in the ring!

”Room For One More” starts up as the four of them leave as Bill’s helped to the back.

Jade Green lurks about backstage, waiting for an interview to walk buy, when her eyes set on Chaplin Graves, and his monster Hank Henry III. They see her coming but can’t turn away, she is right in front of them.

Jade: Chaplin, Hank, can I bother you two for a minute to get your opinion on your match tonight.

The pair huddles together,

Chaplin: Hank doesn’t like being interrupted while he walks.

Hank Whispers in Chaplin’s ear.

Chaplin: But he does have something he wants to say.

And Hank Henry III steps forward smirking at the lovely Jade Green.

Hank: I don’t have much to say about tonight’s match, I got this in the bag, what I want is to offer you savings.

Jade: Savings?

Hank: On Merkins, I sell only the best, A Merkin Made, high quality American Make Merkins.

Jade: What?

Hank: Hand Woven, raising from the clam mustache, to the to the curly haired grandma. Plus Jade, if you buy one today, I will give another of equal or lesser value for free.

Chaplin: You save so much it makes my brain hurt!

The blue haired bastard mugs a thumbs up for the preying camera.

Jade: You are going to have to let me think about that.

Hank: You know how to get a hold of me.

Hank winks and slips a business card into her pocket.

Chris Shipman vs. Glenn Frank vs. Hank Henry III

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it will be contested under Triple Threat Rules!!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6'1 and weighs in at 250 pounds!!! Residing from New Mexico!!! Glenn "Bloodlust" Frank!!!

“Bodies” By Drowning Pool hits the PA speakers, as red and white strobe lights hit the arena. Blood Lust is seen at the top of the ramp way and makes his way down to the ring. He pays no attention to the crowd, or anything else. He slides into the ring through the bottom rope, and stands in the center of the ring, looking down. A large explosion goes off and he comes to life ready to tear his opponents apart.

Stormy Canyon: And the first opponent, standing in at 6'3 and weighing in at 235 pounds!!! Residing from the Georgian Blackwoods!! The Psycho!! Chris Shipman!!!

The arena lights go out as the opening to Du Hast begins blaring. Strobe lights begin flashing as green purple and red spotlights move up and down the ramp and ring as the drums kick in. Smoke fills the curtain area as Shipman walks out from behind it and quickly moves down to the ring in his ripped jeans and noose. He just walks by fans reaching out to touch him and get hi 5's. He gets in the ring and tosses the noose to the floor as the lights go back to normal and the music fades.

Stormy Canyon: And their final opponent!! Standingi n at 6'6 and weighing in at 248 pounds!! Hailing from Ellis, New York!!! Hank Henry The 3rd!!!!

Hank Henry comes out with his limping manager Chaplin Graves, they discuss the pro and cons of the upcoming match, Chaplin Graves decides to play to the crowd as Hank is wearing a cowboy hat.

Tex Martin: Three men that want to look up on the ladder to perhaps become champion. A major important this match this is.

the bell rings as Shipman charges in on Glenn Frank, the two trade blows as Hank starts to look on and talk to chaplin Graves. We see Shipman executing a spinning neckbreaker on Frank before going for the cover, but just as the referee has slapped his hand on the canvas for the count of three it is Hank that breaks it up and pulls Shipman off of Glenn Frank and lifts him up to his feet before hitting a big time clothesline that sends him crashing down again. Glenn Frank gets up slowly and runs to the ropes and goes fro a flying clothesline, but Hank catches him and hitting a double arm DDT in the middle of the ring. The fans get to their feet and cheering Hank on as they saw a great move performed by the returning man that everyone knew as Malvolio Kohut.

Duff Travers: That Hank guy is sure trying to impress the people with his fancy moves!! But I think that Shipman has a few tricks up his sleeve!!!

Shipman slowly gets to his feet and turns around, he quickly sees the bigger Hank Henry charging in on him and he executes a drop toe hold that sends Hank face first into the canvas. Shipman tries to apply a Crippler Crossface on Hank. But the bigger man manages to get his hand on the bottom rope and forces the referee to break the hold.

Tex Martin: Smart thinking of Mal...

Duff Travers: It's HANK!!!!

Tex Martin: It's just what I was used to call him!!

Duff Travers: Well I suggest you get used to HANK HENRY THE THIRD!!!!

Hank gets to his feet by using the ropes, Shipman walks behind him and digs his nails into the back Henry who screams it out in agonizing pain. Shipman tries to lock him in an reversed neckbreaker. But just as he attempts to perform the move it is Gelnn Frank that spears him from the side and sends Shipman to the outside of the ring.

Tex Martin: Good God!! What a move from that psycho!!

Duff Travers: Shipman is on the outside you know

Glenn Frank psyche's himself up when suddenly as he turns around he is met by a kick in the midsection by Hank Henry and it is followed up with his finisher.

Tex Martin: The Proletariat Lariat!!!

Hank hits the move and goes for the cover as the referee calls to three and awards the victory towards Hank Henry, who slides out of the ring and is followed by Chaplin Graves.

Stormy Canyon: The winner of the match, Hank Henry the 3rd!!!

The two walk to the back as the camera's zoom in on the two men on the outside and inside of the ring as we go to a commercial break

Winner: Hank Henry III

Winner: The arena lights turn on and bright strobes go off from all over the arena as the mystery man from previous weeks makes his way to the ring. The respect and Forgiven banner all fall into place and in the ring a podium is set up. The man makes it to the ring and pulls his leather mask off and reviews another white mask that covers the man face and head completely on it the words Freedom and Respect are in cursive writing one on each side. He holds up his hands and he has on white MMA style gloves on his hands with the words respect and freedom on those as well. The man removes his white suit jacket and lays it on the ropes. He then pulls his tie off and looks up towards the sky. He motions his hands and the vacant AWA Tag titles come down. The first title belt has Freedom painted in white on it and the other has forgiven on it. The man take the belt and places one on each shoulder.

Man: Before any one has a bright idea to come down and get in my way I have a signed contract from a previous owner that allows me to speak freely and states that if any one touches me or interrupts my time to speak they will be fined 6 months pay and be subject to be fired. Now I know Goth is the big dog around this place but others have had their chances and had power to make this real. Now I know Mr. Goth isn’t happy to have this mystery man walking around but you all can call me Brother. I am the big Brother that has come to save you all. A few weeks back I warned Rex Butler that his evil ways would cost him, his title, no I was not speaking of his belt. He will have his loss in his final hours and I fear what that judgment may be. There is still time Rex all you need to do is ask for him to enter your life and help you change it. You see I stand with these titles because I needed to stand with them. You people only care about who has a belt. I figured I could borrow these belts, I mean no one was using them. But you see I don’t want to be your champion, your champion needs to be god. So take a minute and decide who you want to cheer for. You either cheer for god, or you might as well boo him. (the fans boo)

Brother: Listen to your selves you all sound like devils I must leave now but remember Rex, it’s never to late to Rex.

Religious sounding organs play as Brother rolls out of the ring with the two belts be heads to the back and the camera follows him. The man reaches the back and Goth is standing with a pissed off look on his face and Brother lays the title belts down and the camera is behind him and Brother lifts the mask up a little and Goth acts like he is looking at a ghost and he stands motionless as Brother lifts a finger to his mouth and says shhhhhh!.

Brother: I don’t steal, I just heal. So take your tag belts back. It’s good to finally see you Goth, I look forward to being around. Now make sure my stuff gets packed because next week I am coming back.

a bright light shines as Brother disappears. Goth looks down and belt and kicks one of them. He turns and walks off as some AWA workers pick them up.

Bill Barnhart vs. Jason Stevens

Tex: It looks like Goth is not very happy with Jason Stevens’s performance as of late, so it looks like Bulldog is gonna teach Jason a lesson that he won’t forget!

Duff: Yeah, but Jason has been a trooper these days and has been decent around here, despite a few mishaps every now and then! If Jason can win this battle, he can stay in the stable, but if not, he’ll be given the boot!

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is scheduled for one fall and it is a Special Family match ordered by Goth, the owner of the AWA! Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Neveda, weighing at 175 lbs….JASON STEVENS!!!!!!!!!!

The oppening riff for "Room For One More" is herd over the PA, as soon as the baseline kicks in Jason emerges from the back with his agent Marty McFarge and his sister Carrie not far behind him with Curtis Ramon slowly walking behind them, 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 waits for his opponent(s).

Stormy: Introducing his opponent! From Oakland, California, weighing at 240 lbs…..BILL BARNHART!!!!!!!!!!!

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER by Blondie hits the speakers. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris his English Bulldog. The TRON then shifts scenes to seversl clips of Bill's wrestling matches where he is either administering his Bulldog or Piledriver to his opponent. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains leading Iris on her leash (Iris is not always present at Bill's matches though). Bill comes out dressed in his Dark Pink Business Suit with Light Pink Shirt and Dark Pink Tie. Iris is dressed in her Pink Diamont-Studded Dog Collar. Bill walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the TRON. As he walks under the TRON, pink pyros erupt causing a cascade of pink sparks to spill down on the entrance walkway around Bill (and Iris if she is accompanying him). Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd. He then takes off with a quick pace to the ring. When Bill arrives at the ring he (hands the leash of Iris to an attendant at ringside) climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then ducks through the ropes into the ring. Bill walks around the ring, then he removes is suit jacket, tie and shirt, and his suit pants, to reveal his wrestling attire consisting of (one of the following: Pink Wrestling Outfit with Black Trim with Black Heart sewn over heart or the Black Wrestling Outfit with Pink Trim with Pink Heart sewn over heart.) Bill then takes up residence in a corner and just stares at Jason Stevens with a flat gaze, who returns one back in return.

Tex: Both fighters are now circling in the ring as the bell just rang a second ago! Any predictions?

Duff: Yeah, Tex, I just hope that Jason Stevens can pull it out, otherwise, he’s on his own!

Bulldog and Jason Stevens immediately lock horns in the center of the ring, but Bulldog gets a few knees in and sends Jason back into the lower-left corner of the ring. Jason quickly reverses positions and slaps Bulldog in the chest a few times, then gets on the top rope and wails away at Bulldog’s head with five punches in a row. It doesn’t faze Bulldog as he grips Jason’s tights and slams him into the mat with a vicious powerbomb. Barnhart quickly rolls backward, only to rush forward and get the first pin attempt, but Jason kicks out. Bulldog picks him up and knees him again a few times more before throwing him to the ropes. But as Jason returns, Bulldog swings a wild clothesline; Jason sees it coming and slides underneath the big man, right between his legs. Jason then kips up, turns around and sends Bulldog packing with a nicely executed drop kick, sending the big man back into the ropes. Then Jason runs forward and unleashes a clothesline, sending Bulldog out of the ring! Bulldog flips over the ropes and lands on the concrete floor harshly. Jason grips the top bottom with both hands, eyeing his opponent, waiting for him to get up. Bulldog gets up and shakes the cobwebs before turning around and unable to counter quickly as Jason jumps over the ropes and sending Bulldog crashing to the concrete floor with a terrific cross-body splash, leaving the crowd cheering for more. Jason is the first to get up as he kicks down Bulldog like the dog that he is, Bulldog gasping for breath as each kick sends his wind out of his lungs temporality, then he is hoisted back to his feet. Jason tries to throw him into the steel steps, but the big man reverses the move and it’s Jason that receives heavy damage as he is careened into the side of the steel steps. Jason groans with pain as he clutches his ribs, but there is no time to rest as Bulldog picks him up and rolls him back into the ring, then follows pursuit. He thinks about his next move for a second, then quickly hits the ropes, comes back, and tries to take off Jason’s head with a clean legdrop. But Jason rolled away as he scouted the move in advance. The pain in Bulldog’s leg instantly shoots up as Bulldog is the one on the ground now, Jason kipping up back to his feet once more, then rushes to the ropes, jumps on the top, and executes a fast moonsault, the move successfully connecting. Jason Stevens then hooks the leg for his first pin attempt, but Bulldog barely gets the shoulder up. Jason slams the mat in frustration and looks at the ref angrily, telling him to count faster. He sighs as he gets back on his feet, then drops a few elbows into Bulldog’s chest. But he made the mistake of trying for a boston crab as Jason went around and got his feet, as Bulldog pushed Jason away from him, Jason staggering back a bit and still gaining his balance. Bulldog also returns to his feet and he goes for another clothesline, but once again Jason misses, hits the ropes, comes back, and goes for another cross-body splash. But Bulldog rolls forward, underneath him, the two hitting both sides and bouncing back from the ropes and both men collide with each other in a thunderous clothesline that sends both men packing to the mat. Both are on the ground, breathing heavily, as the referee starts to count them down.

Tex: Both men are not willing to give each other an inch!

Duff: Nah, ya think Tex? There is something on the line for each other – Bulldog to relieve his stablemate from his stable, Jason to stay in! It’s a huge match!

By the time we arrive at the count of six, Bulldog and Jason rise to their feet and exchange heated, stiff punches to each other, but Jason switches it up with a devastating roundhouse kick to Bulldog. Bulldog staggers back a few times, ignoring the pain as he sees a mid kick coming from Jason and grabs it in time. He then trips Jason’s other leg, causing him to lose his balance and hit the floor hard as Bulldog still holds on the leg that he grabbed moments ago and punching away at Jason. Jason, a few minutes later, kicks Bulldog at his left shin, causing the man to yelp in pain and letting go of the other leg. Jason rolls away, then gets on his feet and spears Bulldog to the mat, getting on top of his stable mate and getting a few good sucker punches in. Bulldog places his forearms in front of his face, trying to block them, some are, others aren’t. Then Bulldog grabs one arm and locks it tight, bridges, and then rolls over, he gets on top of Jason and exact a few good punches of his own for good measure. But Jason knees him in the butt and Bulldog rolls forward as Jason kips back to his feet. Bulldog wasn’t fast enough as Jason angrily kicks him on the back of his right leg, causing the big man to fall on one knee. Jason runs back, bounces off the ropes, and improvises a flipping neckbreaker, causing Bulldog to see stars as he falls to the ground like a tree being chopped off. Jason goes for another pin, but Bulldog kicks out at the count of two. Jason picks him up and then goes for a right punch, but Bulldog blocks it in time and sends him back with three strong, swift punches before throwing him to the other side. Jason hits the ropes and then comes back with another cross-body splash, but Bulldog counters it with a powerslam! But Jason somehow manages to avoid the impact, grabbing Bulldog’s leg from behind as he is about to be slammed and rolls Bulldog forward in a pretzel package! But at the count of two, Bulldog reverses it and now Jason’s the one in it! But at the count of two, Jason also gets out of the package. Both men return to their feet, but Bulldog goes for a low dropkick, Jason slipping from the hit and hitting the ground hard and Bulldog immediately goes for a figure-four leg-lock, Jason struggling to get out of the hold furiously, somehow his legs slip out and Bulldog loses the hold. Jason rolls forward and then turns around as Bulldog charges him down with a spear, Jason unable to move sideways in time, catching the hit. But as both men crash to the mat, Jason shocks the audience as he tries to pull Bulldog into a triangle choke! Bulldog is the one now fighting as Jason Stevens tightens the hold and tries to get his opponent to submit. But Bulldog manages to lift Jason on the ground and slam him to the ground, then repeats the process, Jason’s back giving out to the pain as Jason lets go of the hold. Bulldog quickly takes the initiative and locks in the figure-four leg lock and connects with the hold, making Jason scream in pain. Jason looks around and sees a bottom rope and starts to crawl over, trying to ignore the pain as he is now inches away from the bottom rope. But Bulldog drags Jason back a bit, denying him any escape! Jason has no choice but to give in as he taps the mat a couple of times, ending the match!

Stormy: Here is your winner – BILL “THE BULLDOG” BARNHART!!!!!!!!

Just as the referee wants to raise the arm of Bill Barnhart we suddenly hear the music of Goth blast across the sound system and the owner of the company comes out with a sinister look on his face

Goth: Jason, you showed me something that you want to fight and I will give you a chance next week to prove me that point... If not... than at the PPV you will be facing Bill Barnhart again and then there will be something bigger at stake than just showing me you can wrestle....

Goth turns his head and walks to the backa s the scene fades to a commercial break

Winner: Bill Barnhart

Dmitri vs. Fang

SC: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is your main event of the evening!

The crowd roared with anticipation.

SC: Introducing first…..

The Golden Age of Grotesque blasts across the sound system as Goth walks out to the ring, he is dressed in a long black Goth like robes. He is followed to the ring by Sapphira, who is wearing her usual wrestling outfit. Goth stops halfway the entrance way and stares at the crowd who are booing the owner of the AWA who grins and walks further on. In the ring he lets Sapphira take off his robe and he enters the ring and takes the mic from Stormy.

Texx: Don’t tell me Goth’s pulling a Kanye West on us!

Goth: Sorry to have to interrupt you my dear but there is something that I must say, whilst I have no doubt that the match between Dmitri and Fang will be a worthy main event for any show I have decided to spice things up, as such the match is now a No DQ match!

The crowd roars as Goth gives Stormy the mic back and leaves the ring and sits down on a chair.

SC: As I was saying…..introducing first!

Vampiria's Legacy in Blood hits as the arena goes black and the Titan Tron slowly starts to drip blood until the name of Dmitri appears. Dmitri slowly walks out to the ring with his manager walks in front of him. He does not concern himself for the people that are either exchanging their hands to touch him or to throw their drinks at him. As the two enter the ring his manager opens the ropes for him and allows Dmitri to get in and stare at the people in front of him.

SC: From right here in Moscow, Russia, he weighs in at 275ibs, and he is accompanied by his manager Vladimir, he is DMITRI!

The crowd cheer for the hometown boy for a few minutes before returning to booing him, the cheers start up again as 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 receives a mixed reaction. Fang slides into the ring and glares at Goth at ringside.

SC: From Long Island, PA, he weighs in at 220ibs, “The Wolf God” FANG!

The ref meets the two men in the ring and explains the just added No DQ stipulation, at first the wrestlers are annoyed due to the fact that they received no prior notice of this but they shrug there shoulders and the ref signals for the bell, to the surprise of the crowd the two men don’t take advantage of the stipulation at first instead they exchange from scientific wrestling for the first few minutes.

Texx: Obviously this wasn’t what Goth had in mind!

Goth’s facial expression confirms this as he has an annoyed look on his face, the wrestlers stop for a breather after Fang gets out of a headlock from Dmitri and Goth quickly slides into the ring and yells at both wrestlers telling them to quit the scientific wrestling BS (Goth’s words, not mine) or be fired, they respond by sending Goth to the outside of the ring and they start searching for weapons tossing in any weapons they can find.

Texx: This is going to be good!

They eventually reenter the ring each man wielding a weapon, Fang has the steel chair Goth was sitting on whilst Dmitri has a set of steel steps, also in the ring are two set up tables, three barbed wire chairs, LIGHTUBES, and a Singapore Cane, Fang swings at Dmitri with the chair who attempts to attack him with the steps but neither weapon meets flesh as the two weapons hit eachother the impact causing Fang to drop the chair, Dmitri is quick to capitalize and hits Fang in the face with the steps busting him open.

Texx: We’re barely ten minutes into the match already a competitor is bleeding!

Goth has gotten up and looks to be pleased at the turn of events, Dmitri tries to attack Fang with the steps again aiming for the throat but Fang kicks the bigger man in the groin causing him to drop the steps to the side, Fang gets up wiping some blood from his eyes and places the steel chair he brought in underneath Dmitri’s head.

Texx: What’s he up to here?

It isn’t long before we get an answer as Fang picks up one of the lightubes breaking it over Dmitri’s head in what can only be described as a sick, twisted version of a Con-Chair-To, Fang goes for a cover 1….2…..Dmitri barely kicks out before the three count.

Texx: How did he get out of that?!

Fang argues with the ref that that was three but the ref’s having none of it, Dmitri takes advantage of Fang’s distraction with a significantly safer move, a roll up that only gets the Russian a two count, a close up of Dmitri’s face shows that the con-chair to busted him open and Dmitri notices it, he runs his little finger through the blood and actually licks and swallows the blood, all in plain view of the camera, Fang has used Dmitri’s idea to creep out the audience (both live and watching at home) to get back up and he has a cane which he breaks over Dmitri’s back, he goes for the cover 1….2….Vladimir pulls out the ref, knowing that he can’t disqualify Dmitri he settles for sending Vladimir to the back!

Texx: YES! Vlad’s interference has caused him to be ejected from the ringside area!

Sapphire comes over to argue with the ref, she ends up slapping him (causing a “YOU GOT BITCH SLAPPED” chant) and the ref sends her out too! Sapphire argues but the ref has none of it and the two managers head to the back, during this time the two wrestlers have been brawling not really using the weapons, at all, Dmitri low blows Fang and places him on the table nearest a turnbuckle and climbs up signaling for the Eyes of Blood!

Texx: This could be it for Fang!

Dmitri leaps off but Fang manages to get of the table in time sending Dmitri through the table, Fang is quick to make a cover 1….2…..Dmitri BARELY kicks out before the three count, it’s obvious at this point that both men are exhausted from the match and the blood loss, Dmitri gets up and goes for a running high knee but Fang ducks, picks up the two remaining lightubes and breaks them simultaneously over Dmitri’s head and goes for a cover 1….2….kick out by Dmitri.

Texx: What will it take for Fang to win! We’ll find out ne….

Duff: Texx, this is the AWA, we don’t cut to commercials during matches!

Texx: Oh!

Both men are up and exhausted, from both the blood loss and the match, Dmitri boots Fang in the stomach and goes for a DDT but Fang counters it into the FATAL SHOT! Goth slides into the ring and tries to attack Fang before he can make a cover but Fang ejects him from the ring! He covers Dmitri 1….2….3!!!!

SC: The winner of the match, FANG!!

Wolfmmon starts up and Fang grins at the camera and the crowd, however barely five minutes into the song Wolfmoon is cut off by “Room For One More” by Anthrax.

Texx: That’s Jason Stevens’ music!

Sure enough Jason steps out mock applauding Fang, Fang glares at the youngster but doesn’t see Goth reenter the ring and grabbing a barbed wire chair, Goth swings but Fang sees it coming at the last minute and ducks the chair shot and brawls with his brother, Jason sprints down into the ring with the rest of the stable following him and Jason, being the first to enter the ring, chop blocks Fang, the whole stable beats him down before Goth tells Jason to finish it, he grins and locks in the Sen-TF, in Fang’s weakened state he can’t fight the hold and his arm goes limp and Goth tells Jason to let go, Jason bends down and we can here Jason yell the following.

JS: Hey Fang! Remember what you said about being willing to give me another title shot if I asked? Well I’m asking now!

Goth nods in approval apparently making the match official as Insomnia goes off the air.

Winner: Fang
