The show opens with a shot at the Titan Tron where we see the banner from Hellnight as the fans go nuts of anticipating the big time March PPV. Suddenly the banner fades away and the view of a big time Elimination Chamber appears and then we hear the Golden Age of Grotesque hit over the sound system as the AWA Co-Owner walks out to the ring with a big time grin on his face

Goth: Next week, the world will witness brutality in its purest form. Where there will be wrestlers battle it out to become the number one contender for next months PPV… Oh and don’t think for one second that the greatest stable will not come on top…

With that the Co-Owner walks away laughing as the show goes to the next shot

The scene opens up backstage at Monday Night Insomnia, we see Jason “The Sensation” Stevens working out in his locker room by doing some squat thrusts whilst Carry and Sophie cheer him on, he is obviously preparing for his upcoming First Blood match with Toxic Angel, once he reaches a hundred he stops for a rest.

JS: Now that’s a workout, of course the REAL workout won’t start until my match with Toxic.

Jason mutters trying to catch his breath, Carry hands him a water bottle.

CS: Jason, don’t worry about her, she maybe tough as nails but make one joke about her being fat and she’s at your mercy!

Carry says with a laugh.

JS: Yeah, but that will be to easy, besides calling her fat would be like calling George Bush intelligent.

Sophie: I don’t know about that….

Sophie mutters under her breath, quickly sensing that her younger companion might be about to say something that she might regret Carry quickly covers Sophie’s mouth with her hand smiling sweetly at the camera as she does.

CS: If you’ll excuse us Jason we’re of to the canteen, see you out there.

Carry leads a visibly protesting Sophie out of the room and Jason turns to the camera.

JS: Ah women, sometimes I wonder why I even put up with them, granted one of them is my sister and the other’s here because her mom threw her out but what can you do? And I’m sure that the majority of the male viewers are coming up with dirty responses to that question. Anyway I want to make some last minute comments about Toxic.

Jason says with his trademark grin on his face.

JS: What do I want to talk about? Well I’m going to be expanding on what I said in last Friday’s promo, some women (coughfeministscough) are calling me a pervert due to my comments about Toxic wanting to sleep with me, you know what the major flaw in that logic is? Well for starters if I’m a pervert than why are two women traveling with me during my time with the AWA? And second, I never made any perverted jokes beyond that, other than that there’s not much for me to expand upon without repeating myself so all I’m going to say is this, Toxic Angel I’ll see you in the ring.


Toxic Angel vs. Jason Stevens

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is under First Blood Rules!!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 5’6 and weighing in at 135 pounds!! Hailing from Montreal, Quebec, Canada!!! 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 waiting for her match to begin

Stormy Canyon: And her opponent, standing in at 5’7 and weighing in at 175 pounds!! Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada!! Jason Stevens!!

The opening riff for "Halo" is heard over the PA, as soon as it Rob Flynn starts the opening verse Jason emerges from the back with his sister Carry not far behind, the fans boo him but he ignores them and walks down the ramp, he slides into the ring as Carry takes up a position at ringside and stares at his opponent.

Tex Martin: Toxic and Stevens in a match where the winner has to make his or her opponent bleed!!

Duff Travers: I’m betting all my money on the member from the Templar!!

The bell rings as the two highflying daredevils circle each other and the two lock arms. Stevens shows a mean streak by pounding on the back of Toxic with some heavy forearms as he got some upper hand on her. This gets her to her knees and Stevens is about to grab her head and goes for a DDT. He plants the member of the Templar in the middle of the ring. The referee checks in to see if Toxic Angel has a cut on her face, but signals for the match to continue. Stevens rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair and throws it in the ring as he follows it. He grabs the chair and plants it in the corner of the ring and then starts to deliver some heavy kicks to the side of Toxic Angel after he had brought her back to her feet. He pushes her into the corner and then decides to execute an Irish Whip to the other corner where the chair is at. But now it is toxic that reverses the move and sends Stevens face first into the turnbuckle with a sickening thud as the chair lands on top of his face.

Tex Martin: Good God!!!

The referee warns Toxic Angel to stay away from her opponent as he slowly removes the chair from above the head of the young kid. He turns his head to see that there are some bruises on his face, but no blood to be seen anywhere and t he match continues.

Duff Travers: That’s why I love this type of matches, you never know who is going to win as it can turn in an instant blow!!!

Toxic grabs Stevens by the hair and pulls him up to his feet. She turns him around and executes a reversed neckbreaker. She gets up and stares at Stevens, whose face is upwards and walks over to the turnbuckles and grabs the chair before climbing up the turnbuckle. She sits up the top turnbuckle, before getting up and walks on the top rope with great balance that gets the fans all cheering for her before jumping off with the chair under her arm and aiming for Steven’s face. Just as she is about to come down crashing on top of her opponent it is Stevens that has rolled out of the way and we can see Toxic Angel coming crashing down on the canvas with her elbow on top of the chair. The move causes the chair to jump off the canvas and lands somewhere near Toxic Angel, but just out of reach from her face.

Tex Martin: Wow!! Toxic almost caused her to lose her very first match!!!

Stevens slowly gets to his feet and sees Toxic down and out, he grabs the chair and points towards the top turnbuckles as he gets the fans approval to do something incredible from the top turnbuckles.

Duff Travers: You got to be kidding me!! That’s a woman damnit!!!

Tex Martin: She knew exactly what she was getting into when she agreed to this match Tex!!!

Stevens climbs the turnbuckles when suddenly we see a figure emerging from the crowd as he is wearing a mask over his face. He climbs the turnbuckles and pushes Stevens off the turnbuckles, Stevens lands face first on the steel chair and we can see blood pouring from his nose as it perhaps could be broken. The referee starts to call for the bell as the fans are starting to boo the man that assaulted Jason Stevens.

Stormy Canyon: The winner of this match as a result of Jason Stevens drawing First Blood!! Toxic Angel!!!

Duff Travers: Great victory on behalf of Toxic Angel!! What a match!!

Tex Martin: Are you kidding me? Who is this guy?

Suddenly we see the man taking off his mask and reveals to be the co-owner of the AWA Goth. He grabs Toxic Angel by the arm and helps her to her feet before walking out of the ring as the fans are throwing everything that they have towards the twosome to show their lack of respect for them.


Winner: Toxic Angel

Suddenly the action is cut, TV screens watching the AWA worldwide see nothing but static, the screens cuts to darkness as a figure slowly emerges, a man is engulfed in this darkness for a moment and suddenly a roar comes from him echoing out loudly sending chills down the viewers spine, a message appears on the screen, resembling something similar from a month or so ago, this is not the first time a video package like this has been played, who is this man

in ... 14 days...

the roar stops, the echoing scream has turned into silence as all we hear are the chilling loud footsteps of this mysterious man walking towards the screen slowly as the screen goes static again before more lettering appears

his victim is chosen...

we cut back to see the man has stopped in his tracks, his breathing becomes heavier and his figure becoming more clear but his face still not certain enough to make out who this man is as more lettering appears on the screen

his path laid out... in 14 days... he returns...

static fills the screen once more before we cut back to a quick shot of this mysterious man, Another loud roar his heard as the man screams out from the top of his lungs with rage, he throws the camera to the floor.

H O M E!

The screen goes into static for a few moments before going cutting back to the live feed

We see Monoxide walking with Chris Shipman backstage before his match, Chris Shipman looks as if he is calming down Monoxide Chris: Calm down man it's ok, it's just this week

Monoxide: First it's just this week, then it's next week, I'm the international champion, I shouldn't be facing someone who is about to make his debut today! I should be facing Bill for his title!

Chris: You'll get your chance one day don't worry about it!

Monoxide: My chance better come soon!

Monoxide storms off the hallway as he goes to prepare himself for his match

Slater then tosses the microphone to the outside of the ring as the match begins.


Sean Slater vs. Monoxide

Stormy: This non-title match is one fall, with a 15 minute time limit!

Lights of various colors flash through the intro of Eminence Front as the fans in attendance give a mixed reaction. Once the music hits Sean Slater darts though the curtains and onto the stage. Sean raises his hands high into the air while he mumbles to himself under his breath. A pyrotechnic display lights off behind him as a waterfall of sparks shower down behind him. He begins walking down the aisle pointing at fans that are booing him and slapping the hands of those who are loudly cheering. All the while he is talking trash about his opponent and saying nothing but great things about himself. When Sean reaches the mats on the outside of the ring he grabs his chin and looks all over the arena and the rabid fans before continuing too the stairs. Sean climbs the stairs while stomping down hard on each step. Slater grabs the post and pulls himself onto the ring apron and slowly walks to the center of the ropes while admiring himself. Sean then quickly and gracefully enters the ring though the middle rope. Sean then struts over to the far turnbuckle which he slowly climbs while holding the top rope he then gazes again at all the fans before raising his hands to a diverse response. Sean then jumps down from the turnbuckle and stretches while he waits for the match to begin.

Tex: There's Sean Slater, looking to make an impact in his Debut, tonight.

Duff: He's got a tough fight ahead of him tonight, might as well be a death sentence, he's facing our beloved International Champion!

The whole arena fades to black and you begin to see smoke rising from the ring, the ring lights up and you see a circle of smoke in the middle of it while God of thunder is playing. The ring then goes on fire (almost like Kane's entrance). and then you see Monoxide step out from the smoke with his head up his eyes closed, and his tounge sticking out of his mouth while shaking his head.

Tex: An Impressive Entrance.

Duff: He's a creature of the night. Not like you and I Tex. He's the master of Darkness.

Stormy: In the Blue Corner, from Los Angeles California, Born In Calagary, Alberta, Canada...SEAN SLATER!

Slater raises his arms to the cheering crowd, as he slaps the front of his chest and points to them.

Stormy: And in the black corner, from Los Angeles, California...The current Internation Champion...MONOXIDE!

Monoxide takes the International Title from around his waist and hands it to the ref. Sean Slater moves up and intercepts the title and takes it, and looks at it with a smirk before handing it back to the ref Just before the opening bell Slater motions for a microphone and receives it. Slater walks to the center of the ring and looks at Monoxide, he looks him in the eyes.

Sean Slater: Looking rather fine tonight Cinderella, but you see… tonight just as in the story the clock will strike 12 and when it does it’s my hand that will be raised.

Slater points at Monoxide and smiles then he points at the referee.

Sean Slater: Ring the bell.

Tex: Sean Slater making his intentions known.

Duff: He's biting off more than he can chew. Neither Monoxide or Bill will ever be dethroned!

Tex: We'll wait and see, Duff.

Both men, circle each other slowly, as Slater rubs his chin, they move in and lock-up, pushing against one another. Both men are matched in strenght, but slater is definitely getting the advantage due to his weight. Monoxide is quick however and drops to his knees, grabs Sean's legs, and executes a double leg takedown. Monoxide quickly tries to apply a simple leg lock, but Slater squirms away and gets to his feet, as Monoxide smiles, that sinister grin. Both men get up and stare at each other intently.

Duff: Monoxide is getting the upper hand.

Tex: That's the veteran for you. The rookie will make mistakes.

Slater moves towards Monoxide, and motions for another lock-up, They push against each other, but Sean drives a knee to Monoxide's mid section. Slater then grabs his mid section and hits a gutwrench suplex. Monoxide slowly turns over to stand and get hits with a shining wizard! Slater goes for the pin. Kick out at two. Slater moves up quickly and delivers a few punches to Monoxide's face. He stands and brings Monoxide up, who rakes Slater's eyes. Sean grabs his face and stumbles back a moment, and Monoxide strikes with a hard chop to Slater's throat, stunning him momentarily, as Monoxide moves in and hits a neckbreaker.

Tex: Monoxide, ressourceful as always.

Duff: That's why he's the champ, Tex.

Monoxide catches his breath, sitting on the mat for a moment, as he stands and helps Sean Slater up. Monoxide with a quick side backbreaker. The International champion nods and sticks out his tongue to the crowd...then stands and helps his opponent to his feet and irish whips him to the corner, following with a knee to his mid section, Slater stumbles down to the bottom of the turnbuckles as Monoxide stomps away mercilessly, finishing by driving his boot to Sean's neck. Monoxide holds the ropes for leverage and chokes out Sean Slater with his foot. The ref comes over to break it up, telling Monoxide to lay off. Monoxide steps back and yells at the ref, before immediately moving in and starting the chocking process again...the ref warns, and starts a 5 count when Monoxide doesn't relent. Monoxide breaks it just as the zebra calls 5. Monoxide raises his arms in the air and sticks out his tongue again to the crowd, as Slater remains slumped in the corner. He walks over and grabs Slater by the head and helps him to his feet, and suddenly gets sent backwards by a surprise European uppercut, Sean rushes out and hooks Monoxides's neck and spins backwards, and lifts him into a beautiful Exploder Suplex!

Tex: Sean Slater's got this crowd going with that beautiful rushing Exploder!

Duff: These folks are all sheep! Get up Monoxide!

Slater gets to his feet and roars to the crowd which is pumped, as he hits the ropes and comes back with a flash elbow, he gets up and quickly pulls Monoxide up, and hits him with forward russian leg sweep. He goes for the pin.

Crowd: ONE!.........TWO!............OH!

Monoxide will have nothing of it, as he kicks out quickly at the two. Sean Slater gets to his feet and brings Monoxide up. He irish whips the International Champ to the ropes, Monoxide ducks the attempt at a clothesline, bounces off the far ropes and hits a flying DDT to Slater on the comeback! Monoxide is quick to stand and brings Sean up with his and locks in a vicious bearhug, center ring, also locking the arms in his grip. Slater screams in pain, as Monoxide wrenches his back with a strong grip. Slater tries to squirm, but Monoxide's got it locked in tightly. Sean seems to be weakening, as Monoxide shakes him around a bit, trying to wrench and get the submission. Sean doesn't seem to want to give up, however, although his nodding head seems to be betraying the intensity of the pain, almost bringing him to unconsciousness. The ref requests another submission. But Sean keeps his head up.

Duff: Monoxide's gonna break this newcomer in two!

Tex: Slater is definitely in a pinch here, but the crowd's on his side.

The crowd starts to cheer for Slater. He seems to react. The fans are on their feet and cheering for him to fight back. Monoxide wrenches and shakes him more violently. Sean uses this advanatage to pull an arm free, but before he can do anything Monoxide quickly hits a belly to belly suplex, planting Slater in the middle of the ring! The crowd gasps at it's speed and power.

Duff: Belly to Belly with authorithy! It's over! Put him away, champ!

Monoxide goes for a pin, hooking the leg. Slater miraculously kicks out at the two and a half mark! Monoxide slaps the ring in frustration. He stands and grabs Sean by the neck, and brings him to his feet, and signals. He lifts Sean up for the R.I.P. holding him up in the air, but Sean suddenly kicks him in the chest, Monoxide lets him fall to his feet and Sean is quick to hit him with a sudden Fisherman's Buster! Both men are laying on the mat, slowly stirring.

Crowd: Let's go Slater! Let's go Slater!

Slater is first on his feet, at the 7 count as Monoxide is on his knees, Sean moves in behind him as he stands and lifts him into the sick looking Tiger Suplex '09! He hits the bridge, and Monoxide kicks out at two! Slater seems determined however and stands and grabs the rising Monoxide into the "Made in Japan" Slam! His leg drapped across Monoxide's neck still only garners a two and a half count! Slater stands and brings Monoxide to his feet and picks him up for what looks like an scoop slam, but holds him and hangs him upside down from the side and nails an Emerald Frosion! Pins!

Crowd: ONE!...................TWO!............

The bell rings before the ref slaps the mat for the 3. But the crowd and Sean are too into the apparent victory to notice. The ref walks to the timekeeper as Sean is standing and holds his arms up in the air to the crowd, which is on it's feet. Stormy unfortunately has thef most unevious of announcements to make.

Stormy: This match has gone to the 15 minute time limit, and has been ruled a Draw!

Slater is besides himself as Monoxide is allready outside the ring, grabbing his title and holding the back of his head. He raises the title to Slater and then clutches it to his chest letting his tongue fall out in defiance. He winces however and holds the back of his head as he walks towards the back staring back at his opponent, Sean's final suplex and slam salvo obviously took their toll. Slater points back at the champion and then suddenly lowers his hands to his waist as he makes a signal that he wants a title shot for the International Championship belt. The two men stare at each other when suddenly The Golden Age of Grotesque hits and the Co-Owner of the AWA walks out with a big grin on his face. Goth: So you want a title match after your first match huh Mr. Slater? Well the title will be up for grabs this coming Sunday at Hellnight and the champion will put up his title against you… but you will not be the only one that is going to get a title shot at this man’s belt… You just have to wait and see

With that Goth leaves the arena as the two men continue to stare at each other


Winner: Draw


Erik Black vs. Chris Shipman

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 225 pounds. He’s representing the King’s Templar…Eriiiiik Blaaaaaack!!!!

The lights begin to flicker. “Sounds of Madness” by Shinedown hits on the P.A. “Yea I get it you're an outcast etc.” When the music gets heavy, huge golden pyro explodes from the stage. Out walks Erik Black. He has a cocky smirk across his face. He stops and eyes the ring. He then darts to the ring and, not losing a touch of speed, slides under the bottom turnbuckle. He then runs to the furthest turnbuckle and jumps to the top. He then awaits his opponent for the evening.

Stormy: And his opponent…

”Man That You Fear” by Marilyn Manson blares over the speakers as the lights go out. Suddenly an eruption of pyro over the ramp creates a blast of light to see Shipman with a busted forehead and holding a barbed wire noose. The pyro dies as Shipman walks to the ring.

Stormy: His opponent, originally from West London, weighing in at 235 pounds, representing the Asylum Family….Chriiiiis Shiiiipmaaaaaaan!!!

Chris gets in to the ring, throws the noose to the floor and sits in the corner with an expressionless look as the music fades. The referee assigned to this contest eyeballs both competitors, knowing for a fact that they’re both known for their antics.

Tex: This should provide for some must-see TV, that is as long as you’re over the age limit and don’t have a bad stomach.

Duff: So that’s probably 95% of you weaklings out there!

The bell rings and Shipman wastes no time. He goes for a clothesline to Erik Black, but Black is able to sidestep it. Shipman turns quickly back around and evilly grins in Black’s direction before coming full force for another clothesline attempt, again Black sidesteps. Black hustles to behind Shipman and takes him over with a simple suplex that doesn’t seem to do any damage to Shipman. Shipman is right back up and he goes to take out Black’s legs from beneath him. Black, the quicker of the two, avoids this attempt as well. He then brings Shipman up to his feet and gets him in the jaw with a European uppercut. This causes Shipman to flop down to the canvas but he comes right back up to his feet, not even breaking a sweat yet.

Tex: Shipman is known to be a crazy man.

Duff: Yeah, way crazier than anyone that Goth has in King’s Templar.

Tex: We’ll find out as this match goes on if that’s true or not.

Shipman circles around Black now as Black stands still in the center of the ring. Shipman goes for an Austin style punch, but it only grazes Black. Black just shakes his head before hitting a running knee lift to Shipman, nailing him right in the gut. Shipman backs up a bit, but is still grinning his twisted grin.

Tex: Shipman likes pain. We know this.

Duff: Hey! It’s a great quality to have, especially in this business!

Tex: For once, I can’t argue with you.

Duff: Good!

Shipman is now back up to a vertical base and abruptly runs at Black. This time Black is unable to be quick enough to get out of the way and he’s speared to the canvas by Shipman. Shipman mounts Black and immediately begins to lay into Black with punch after punch after punch.

Duff: And here comes that lovely aggressiveness from one of Crazy J’s soldiers.

Tex: He’s a fearless competitor and Crazy J got a great pick up for his “Family”.

Duff: You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Tex: Well, it’s bad for the rest of the AWA.

Duff: True…I guess.

Referee Simon Jones admonishes Shipman and tells him to get off of Black. Shipman doesn’t listen and continues laying into Black with some pretty hard, pounding fists. The referee starts a five count against Shipman.

Referee Jones: ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR…FI-

Shipman stops just in the nick of time. The referee has him back off and he checks on Erik Black. Erik shakes out the cobwebs but gets up, ready to continue. He holds his fists out in front of him, just begging for Shipman to make another run at him. Shipman obliges while Black prepares for the arrival of Shipman’s torso. When it comes, Black lands a punch of his own right to the mouth of Shipman. Chris stumbles backwards a bit and it can be seen that he now has a cut on his lip. Shipman feels it and smiles wide now. He runs right at Black and plows him all the way into the far corner of the ring. Black’s back pounds the turnbuckle and he slumps down into the corner. Shipman really grins now as he rolls out of the ring and grabs his barbed wire noose. Referee Jones tells him to drop it but Shipman brings it into the ring anyway. He hooks it around Black’s neck, but Referee Jones pulls Shipman away from Black.

Tex: Stopped him just in the nick of time!

Duff: But for how long? A little referee isn’t going to stop Shipman for very long.

Tex: But he might! The Universal Champion Bill Barnhart’s slowly coming down the ramp!

Duff: Bill might not want to do that… He DOES still have a match later tonight.

Shipman turns to the ramp to see Bill. Shipman doesn’t look impressed as he quickly turns his attention back to his opponent. He brings Black up to his feet and away from the referee’s sights, he low blows Black, doubling him over. Shipman tosses himself against the nearest set of ropes and then comes back at Black. He launches himself into the air a bit and punts Black right in the head, bringing him down to the canvas. Shipman licks his chops as Bill comes all the way down to the ring now. From out of the back comes Monoxide.

Tex: And there is the current International Champion! Business is about to heat up here. I can smell it!

Shipman doesn’t pay attention to the goings-on outside the ring but instead scoops up Black and brings him to the nearest corner. Shipman ascends to the top rope, holding Black over his shoulder. He begins to set up for the London Calling, but the lights suddenly go dark.

Tex: What the hell?

Duff: Goth and J must have forgot to pay the electric bill!

Tex: It’s not like we own this joint.

The lights stay off for a few more seconds before they finally turn back on. Both Shipman and Black are down and out on the canvas. The cameras move around and see Taxx at ringside!

Tex: It’s Taxx!!!

Both Bill and Monoxide see where Taxx is and go to grab him, but Taxx hops the crowd barrier and quickly disappears. Bill and Monoxide now both look at one another and start teeing off on one another. The rest of the Asylum Family comes down the ramp from the back and all of them corner Barnhart. Luckily for Bill, the King’s Templar isn’t far behind. The two groups begin to get into it on the outside. Skull Master grabs a hold of Toxic Angel and lays her out with a chokeslam to one of the ringside mats. Bill and Monoxide continue going head to head while Goth and Crazy J eyeball one another. The referee stays in the ring, just looking out at the melee and then down at the two combatants that are still out of it in the ring. He begins a ten count to see if either will respond.

Tex: I don’t know if either of them will get up. We don’t even know what Taxx DID to both of them! We know how much dislike he has for the Asylum Family! And he’s not the best of friends with the King’s Templar either!

Referee Jones: ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR…

Bill tries to roll into the ring, but Crazy J cuts him off. Monoxide tries to enter from the opposite side now, but Goth cuts him off there.

Referee Jones: FIVE…SIX…SEVEN…EIGHT…

Toxic Angel is coughing as she tries to get back to her feet. She sees an opportunity to slide into the ring and goes to take it, to help out her stablemate Erik Black.

Referee Jones: NINE…

Toxic however is too late to help Erik back up as Referee Jones’s count hits…

Referee Jones: TEN! That’s it! Ring the bell!

The ringside bell rings as Referee Jones calls for a double count-out. Toxic begins to revive Erik as Chris Shipman begins to wake up all on his own. Chris gets to his feet behind Toxic. Toxic has no idea, that is until Chris grabs her and slings her over his shoulder. He ascends to the top rope again and with no wasted motion or time, he comes off the top rope, drilling Toxic with the London Calling. On the outside of the ring Goth and Crazy J are actually exchanging punches until Goth gains the advantage, hitting the Chaos ADDT. On the other side of the ring Skull Master is applying a mandible claw to Bill Barnhart as the crowd is going wild for both groups going after one another! From out of the din though…

Stacy: Hey! HEY! All of yas cut it out!

Stacy Kissinger now stands on the stage, not looking pleased at all with everyone. She holds her microphone to her lips as everyone freezes in place.

Stacy: Bullcrap like this has gone on way too long and I fer one don’t blame Taxx fer what he did here tonight in this match! Now I’m not condonin’ his actions eitha, but Goth? Crazy J? You two are supposed to be the ownahs around these here parts and yer NOT doin’ yer jobs! As fer the rest of ya mangy lil’ mutts down there, it’s about time that ya’ll had a general managah to take care of all ya’ll.

Tex: I’ve never been that big of a fan of Stacy, but she’s right in this instance.

Duff: She’s ALWAYS right! Right in bed with me too!

Tex: Yeah, right Duff…

Duff: It’s true. But anyway, I can tell that my woman has more to say.

Stacy continues on the microphone. Everyone by or in the ring still hasn’t moved a muscle.

Stacy: As ya’ll know, I’ve been searchin’ around fer the perfect person to be just that. And well, I found him. Only problem is, he told me couldn’t be here tonight. But at the pay per view this upcomin’ Sunday, that will be his first night. Perhaps then we’ll be able to have some ordah around here…and maybe, just maybe Goth and Crazy J will realize that havin’ these lil’ rag-tag groups will no longa be necessary. Besides, it’s not good fer business when ya’ll keep beatin’ up on the newer talent and on veterans that have already established themselves in this business. That’s all I’m gonna say fer now. Just rememba, this Sunday, he arrives…

Stacy turns and heads to the back as the arena falls completely silent. The scene cuts over to Tex and Duff at the announce table.

Tex: Sounds like we have a new general manager.

Duff: We’ll see how he does.

Tex: But that’s Sunday. We still have the main event here tonight…and it’s next!

The show goes to a commercial break before we move to the main event

Winner: Double Count-Out Draw


Bill Barnhart vs. Staniak

Stormy Canyon: This match is scheduled to one pinfall.... Introducing first...... Bulldog Bill Barnhart

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hits the speakers. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris the 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 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 then takes up residence in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent STANIAK!

Hold Back The Day by Devildriver hits over the PA system and the crowd know exactly whats coming up now, thats right the man they all hate, "The Red Ripper" Staniak makes his way out from the back, he looks around the arena with an evil look on his face, a smirk towards the cameras later and he makes his way down the ramp, once at the bottom of the ramp he walks around the ring bad mouthing the fans, he then slides in to the ring and jumps on top of the turnbuckle and taunts, he then jumps down, runs to another corner and does the same thing, he jumps down from that turnbuckle and gets ready for his match!

Bill joins Staniak in the middle of the ring and they start exchaning words. Staniak punches Bill across the face. Bill holds his jaw and comes back at Staniak with a right hand. They start trading right and left at eachothers. Staniak grabs Bill's left arm and sends him on the run. Bill bounces off the ropes, leaps frog over Staniak, Staniak turns around and as Bill comes back he lou thesz presses him. Staniak gets up and kicks him on the head.
