The opening guitar riff of "Hero" by Pop Evil begin to play as the lights in the arena go out. Strobe lights flash at different angles as the cymbal joins in with the guitar. After a second time the lights and music stop and the arena goes black for a second before screaming fills the arena and the music kicks back in as pyrotechnics shoot from the stage. Rex Butler walks through the curtains carrying the AWA Universal Title over his shoulder as Alisha Hicks walks out beside him. They make their way to the ring while Rex stares straight ahead, ignoring the crowd at ringside. Rex enters through the ropes and stands in the center of the ring, where he adjusts the title on his shoulder as Alisha hands him a microphone. The lights inside the arena return as the crowd voices their displeasure for Rex, who stands in the center of the ring, smiling.
Rex: "You can boo me all night long. It really doesn't matter to me. It's not going to change the fact that I stand before you tonight as the new Universal Champion!
The crowd boos louder as Rex laughs to himself...
Rex: "I know that everyone in the back goes out and claims day after day to be the best this business has ever seen. But, they're all liars. Everyone can say that they are the best based solely on their records. There are two people in this promotion right now that are undefeated... however, neither of them hold the International or Universal Title! Last Sunday night, in front of the world in Amsterdam, I proved that I am the top guy in the Asylum Wrestling Alliance. There are going to be those who question that, and will do anything to show me up inside this ring. I expect that... and I'm not running away from it. In fact... I'm out here right now saying that, if there's anyone dumb enough to step into the ring with me, then they know where to find me."
Chants of "Goth's Knights! Goth's Knights!" ring out from the stands as Rex looks around and smiles at Alisha, shaking her head in the corner.
Rex: "Ah, yes... the "Knights". You people are just about as stupid as the comics make you out to be, aren't you? Well, no matter... you want to see Goth's Knight come after me and this title? Fine, fair enough... but there isn't a member in that group that I haven't beaten. All you of pathetic dipshits need to remember that. Jason Stevens -- never beaten me; Erik Black -- never beaten me... and he and Chaos, another person who has never beaten me, will face the same fate later tonight. The only person that I've had a hard time with is Goth, himself. But, he's so busy trying to make sure this place doesn't collapse on itself that he knows his head wouldn't be in the right place! So, for all of you inbred assholes who keep cheering their names... just keep all this information in mind."
The boos get louder as Rex smiles again, knowing that he's gotten onto their nerves.
Rex: "The Demonic Era is now in full force. And, there's nothing the rest of the AWA can do to stop it!"
Rex laughs as he drops the microphone to the canvas and "Hero" begins to play once again. He and Alisha exit the ring as fans near ringside begin to throw trash in their direction. They make their way up the ramp as the scene fades to black.
Vicarious hits and Tommy comes out on the stage with his cold brown eyes surveying his surroundings and he walks down the ring staring down at the ring ignoring the mixtures of cheers and boos that follow him he enters the ring and chooses a corner and sits down ala raven
SC: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first from Perth, weighing in at 250s TOMMY GUNN!!!!!!!
Texx: Tommy hasn’t exactly had the best of starts here in the AWA.
Duff: Gee, you THINK!
Tommy remains still never letting his gaze escape the entrance ramp, “Taking Care Of Business” hits the speakers but suddenly Tommy springs to life sprinting down the ramp as Bulldog emerges from the back….rights into a Yakuza Kick from Tommy, Tommy beats him down and picks him up and goes for a Piledriver onto the ramp, but is stopped by Marty McFarge off all members of The King’s Templar who punches him in the gut, which doesn’t effect Tommy at all, however it does give Bulldog the chance he needs to low blow Tommy.
Texx: Let me guess, the match hasn’t started yet?
Duff: Yep!
Marty runs to the backstage area and he drags Tommy back to the ringside area and rolls him inside the ring and rolls him back in officially starting the match, Bulldog immediately goes for a cover 1….2….Tommy kicks out, Bulldog looks at the ref in disbelief but the ref just shrugs his shoulders and Bulldog picks up Tommy but Tommy punches him in the gut several times and hits a roundhouse kick to the stomach showing off his MMA experience and knocking Bulldog down for a couple of minutes, Tommy waits for Bulldog to get up and when he does Tommy hits him with an Exploder Suplex and goes for a cover 1…2…Bulldog kicks out with authority, Tommy just shrugs his shoulders and sits Bulldog up hitting him with repeated Martial Arts kicks to the chest before finishing up with one to the head, he goes for another cover 1….2….Bulldog kicks out.
Texx: Tommy’s been impressive so far, I guess size does matter!
Duff: That’s what she said!
Whilst Texx just rolls his eyes at Duff’s immaturity the match continues, Tommy picks up Bulldog but Bulldog gets him with a Small Package 1…2….Tommy reverses it into a pinning combination off his own 1….2….Bulldog reverses it into another pinning combination 1…2….Tommy gets his leg on the bottom rope which Bulldog rolled him up towards.
Texx: That was a lot of pinfalls!
Bulldog gets up as does Tommy, Bulldog charges but Tommy backdrops him over the top rope and Bulldog pulls himself up using the ring apron and Tommy sees this, jumps through the gap between the top and middle rope, holding onto the top rope and dropkicks Bulldog, Bulldog is reeling from the attack and Tommy skins the cat and hits Bulldog with a Front Flip Suicide dive sending both men into the crowd, the two men start brawling all over the crowd and are able to make it back to the ring in time to avoid being counted out by the ref and Tommy is on his feet first and kicks Bulldog in the stomach and hits him with a Brainbuster 1…2….kickout just before the three count.
Texx: This has been an intense match so far!
Duff: WHAT THE HELL IS BULLDOG DOING?! THIS IS TOMMY GUNN WE’RE TALKING ABOUT NOT REX BUTLER!
Tommy just shrugs and continues the offence regardless, Tommy stomps him a couple of times but Bulldog catches one foot and sweeps the other knocking the youngster down, Bulldog stomps Tommy a couple of times and goes for his signature Piledriver but Tommy backdrops out off it and when Bulldog gets to his knees Tommy dropkicks him and goes for a cover 1…2….kickout.
Texx: Man, Bulldog can’t get a break in this match!
Apparently someone in the back whose a member of Goth’s Knights has noticed this as Jason “The Sensation” Stevens and Marty McFarge appear at the top of the ramp, Tommy sees them and shouts threatening words towards the pair but Bulldog is up and he low blows Tommy and rolls him up 1….2….kickout by Tommy but Bulldog is now firmly in control and he stomps the youngster several times before hitting him with the Piledriver, he goes for a cover.
Texx: This is it 1….2….WHAT THE HELL?!
To the shock of everyone Tommy has kicked out and Bulldog looks especially shocked by this turn of events, Jason and Marty look equally confused and shocked as Bulldog picks Tommy up and spikes him with another piledriver.
Texx: If Tommy kicks out off this I’ll hump a cactus.
Bulldog goes for a lazy cover 1…2….KICKOUT BY TOMMY!!!
Texx: Forget what I just said.
Bulldog gets annoyed and rolls out of the ring and grabs a steel chair, he rolls back in, drops the chair, picks up Tommy and looks like he’s going to piledrive him onto the chair.
Texx: No, don’t do it! You’ll kill him!
Thankfully for Tommy he backdrops out of the Piledriver attempt and rolls out the steel chair, he waits for Bulldog to get up and goes for “The End” and hits it and goes for a cover 1…2….the ref is dragged out and punched out by Marty McFarge.
Texx: Son of a….
Tommy quickly realizes what just happened and grabs Marty by his ponytail and drags him onto the ring apron, Marty starts pleading with Tommy to not do what he’s thinking of doing but Tommy hoists Marty onto his shoulders and the crowd erupts thinking that Marty is about to get his ass kicked.
Texx: YES! YES! DO IT! DO IT! KNOCK THAT MOTHER(BLEEPER) OUT!
Duff: What he said!
However Marty is saved when Jason slides into the ring and chop blocks Tommy and Marty runs for his life.
Texx: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Duff: Once again, what he said!
Jason stomps on Tommy and locks in the Sen-TF, Tommy struggles and even tries to fight the hold, however eventually Tommy’s hand goes limp and Jason lets go, Bulldog sees Jason and the damage done to Tommy, Bulldog grins, thanks Jason and puts his foot on Tommy chest as the ref comes too 1….2….TOMMY KICKS OUT?!
Texx: WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR TOMMY TO STAY DOWN?!
Bulldog’s jaw is hanging open and Jason gets an idea which he yells to Bulldog, after Bulldog makes sure that the ref is down for a few more minutes Jason rolls in with the chair and picks up Tommy hitting him with the Jumping Complete Shot onto the chair, he leaves the ring with the chair and Bulldog goes for another cover but not before hitting Tommy with the chair for good measure, 1….2…..3!!!!
Texx: It took outside interfearence to keep him down but what’s done is done!
Jason, Marty and Bulldog leave as Taking Care Of Buisiness plays as the scene cuts to another part of the arena.
The scene cuts backstage to Shipman who is sitting in a corner with barbed wire wrapped so tight around his arm that his hand is turning white from been cut of from blood which is pooling on the floor. There is a look of anger that far surpasses everything else we have seen on his face throughtout the years of witnessing his path of pain. Shipman: So here we are, a week after Wrestle Quest and I shocked the world for some strange reason and beat that bastard Jason Stevens in what was supposedly the impossible, a submission match. No on ethought I could do it and low and behold I did. And now the god damn kicker. What the fuck do I got to show for it. Absolutly nothing. I mean no honorable mentions anywhere, no respect. Hell I don't even get put on any of the god damn contender's list but let's take a look at who is shall we. Let's start with big one The Universal title which belongs to my tag partner Rex Butler. Congrats buddy you earned it. Now for contenders we got Jason Stevens, who I just made tap last night, and not to mention a tag win over him a few weeks ago, but yet he stays up top in the number one spot. Number two goes to Chaos who I also have a win over plus he is the newly crowned International champ, but come tonight in another tag bout I will gladly crown him by throwing him over that rope with such force that he land on his head and break his frigging neck. And then there was Toxic Angel. Now the keyword is was because we all saw Wrestle Quest and we all know it will be a miracle if she comes back but if she does I'll amke sure she feels welcome in typical Shipman fashion. Shipman begins bashing himself in the head with the barbed wire because of his frustration going through his body. Blood is now also trinkling down his face to go along with the river on his arm Shipman: Now like I said Chaos won the International title and his list of contenders which does exclude me goes as follows. Jason Stevens is number one again. So I'll just skip over him because we both sounded like broken records at Wrestle Quest. At number two is Fang, Wait a minute, didn't he lose at Wrestle Quest to Enigma or Thor I guess who is sitting pretty at number three. So apparantly if I lost to Jason Stevens that would make me number one contender since Fang lost to Enigma I mean Thor and is at number two while Thor is at three? And I thought I was weird. Well I guess I'll let you all ponder that but rest assured AWA. I will be in the title picture very soon, even if I have to kill each and everyone of you in that ring and it wouldn't be me if I never threatened your families either so make sure you call them frequently.
The shot changes from Chris Shipman all the way to somewhere deep down in the bowels of the federation where Dmitri and Toxic Angel can be seen in an intimate embrace
Toxic Angel: I dont understand why we weren't in that tag team match later tonight. I mean, what does Rex Butler and Chris Shipman still have to do to them what we cannot Dmitri? Goth is ignoring us
Dmitri can be seen smiling as he softly bites her neck
Dmitri: Tonight, I will crush the hope and dreams of a young boy. And then? We shall make our presence felt to a man that they call Goth and his knights.. That's a promise sealed in blood... Their blood...
Toxic Angel and Dmitri grin as the shot fades to darkness as we are heading back to ringside for the next match
Royal fanfare is heard, as King walks out. Just as King can be seen waving to the crowd, "Better than You" by Metallica hits the PA. King struts down to the ring, ignoring people and trying to focus all the attention to himself before hopping into the ring..
Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring from New York City, New York. Standing at 6’ 0” weighing 250 lbs. The King: Altavius King!<
Tex: The rumor has it on the grapevine Goth is not happy with King he may have to prove himself tonight!
Duff: Yeah! Well Nymph-I-am is his next opponent! I hope she is a hot chick hardly wearing a thing!
Iron Maiden's “Can I Play with Madness” starts playing and the crowd begins to boo as a raven enters the arena and circles it twice before landing on the top turnbuckle of the ring. The lights suddenly go dark and after a few tense seconds there is a bright flash and there is Loki the Deceiver perched on the top turnbuckle where the raven had been(Will take advantage of the dark to ambush a foe already in the ring). He jumps down from the turnbuckle and starts prancing around the ring taunting the crowd with his ever present smirk on his face as the boos continue to rain down as well as anything else the crowd can find to toss his way.
Stormy Canyon: Now arriving to the ring from Nifelheim, Hel. Standing at 6’ 3” weighing 231 lbs. Trickster, World Ender: Loki ‘The Deceiver’ von Nifelheim!
Duff: HOLY SHIT!
Tex: Tonight is Loki ‘The Deceiver’ von Nifelheim’s debut tonight. King is out to prove himself today not going to lose to another rookie in the ring tonight.
Altavius King looks over at the rookie, Loki standing in front of him measuring him, Loki rubs his chin looking at his opponent. Then Loki offers his hand over to King with a nice friendly smile. King looks surprised looking at the audience with his cocky all knowing grin that he is not afraid. He says something to Loki, Loki says something back arms out to his side in a friendly manner then offering his hand once again. An evil grin is on King’s face he flashes to the audience before accepting Loki’s hand as he is going to use this to use his dirty trick.
Tex: von Nifelheim is showing some respect to the veteran King. Something we see very little in today’s wrestling.
Duff: Don’t do it! Don’t Hey! That is pretty cool!
Instead King is pulling in getting a kick deep into his stomach by Loki. King holds his gut bending over as Loki uses his knee in King’s face. King falls down on his back in pain holding his face as Loki showboats to the crowd with a happy look on his face. Loki circles King waiting for King to get on his hands and knees before running over driving his knee into King’s face again. Blood is seen from King’s bloodied nose as Loki poses for the crowd once again pointing at King saying various insults that everyone there can hear but cameras do not pick up.
Tex: That was despicable! von Nifelheim used a dirty underhanded
Duff: I think I like this guy!
Loki keeps out of King’s eye view Loki stretches his arms out to the sides loosening his fingers as King slowly stands up holding his bashed nose. Grabbing King’s arm from behind Loki places a half full nelson, then with the bloodied hand on the nose, Loki completes the arm across the face locking King’s hand to the wrist behind the neck driving his knee painfully into King’s back.
Duff: Ouch that got to hurt! Tex what is this move?
Tex: Loki von Nifelheim’s deadly finisher the Dream of Madness.
The eyes on King seem to want to pop out from the pain in his back and the sadistic sleeper hold of Loki’s preferred finisher the Dream of Madness. Loki’s face seems cheerful, the Deceiver watches as the self proclaimed King of the AWA struggles in his arms if he was nothing. The referee asks King what he wants to do. King slaps his hand three times indicating he surrenders. The referee signals the match is over, Loki has won handedly.
Tex: Loki should let go the bell has rung but he continues to squeeze the life out of King! Someone do something!
Duff: I don’t think he ahhh tapped he said he was going to fight! The ref did he ref any NBA games recently?
Loki continues the pressure, the referee is telling Loki it is over, but Loki refuses to listen as King struggles against the pain as he starts to turn more purple. The referee starts to put his hand in the sleeper hold but Loki kicks the referee in balls sending the referee to the mat in pain. King tries to fight but Loki continues the sleeper hold until King passes out. Loki smirks releasing King like bad rubbish posing to the crowd who are jeering him, which is just music to his ears.
Stormy Canyon: Your winner! Loki ‘The Deceiver’ von Nifelheim!
“Can I Play with Madness” starts playing Loki raises his arms in smug confidence a face that someone would love to smack off his face, but not tonight. Tonight King was given a devastating blow to his career laying there not waking even as the paramedics appear. Loki walks out of the ring confident a cock on his walk of victory.
Tex: King is not moving! von Nifelheim has left King cold asleep in the ring!
Duff: Yeah. Sadly we are going to a commercial break, oh great. One of those creepy Burger King Comercials.
The show goes to a commercial break
The scene opens up backstage as we join Marty, Jason and the girls in King’s Templar locker room which is currently vacant except for the five people (including the cameraman) in the room right now, the girls are talking amongst themselves whilst Marty and Jason are discussing the match with Dmitry which will be starting soon.
JS: I swear to god, I am certain that Dmitry ran me over earlier this week, it’s the only possible suspect that makes any sense whatsoever.
Marty nods in agreement.
MM: Jason I assure you that as soon as the police are able to convict Dmitry that me and Benjamin will be pushing for the harshest penalty possible, and I don’t care if Dmitry was drunk that’s no excuse!
Just then a young policeman enters the room.
Policemen: Jason, Marty, we have found out who ran you over earlier this week and we have him in custody.
Marty and Jason grin.
JS: Is it Dmitry? I know it’s him….
Policemen: No, it was some drunk kid who was getting aroused by his girlfriend when they hit you, they panicked and drove off.
To put it simply the looks on Jason and Marty’s face is priceless.
Policemen: By the way, I noticed that Jason has a match against Dmitry, and that it’s next.
Jason, Marty and Carry run out of the room as the scene cuts to ringside.
Tex: Dmitri and Steve Ramone are scheduled to take on each other! I think it's gonna be a huge fight! What do you think Duff?
Duff: I think this is gonna be a quick fight, but I just don't who the man will be that's gonna emerge victorious, Tex. Gonna be hard to see from this standpoint!
Stormy: This match is scheduled for oen fall! Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Neveda, weighing at 175 lbs - JASON 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 not far behind him who is yelling into his cell phone, Carry reluctantly follows her brother and his agent obviously annoyed at having to endure Marty for the length of the match,, the fans boo Jason but he ignores them and walks down the ramp, he slides into the ring as Carry and Marty take up separate positions at ringside and Jason waits for his opponent(s).
Tex: Jason's pacing the ring, back and forth. He's hoping to captalize for this week!
Duff: Like I said, I see this as a quick fight, but this could take awhile!
Tex: Not if Dmitri has anything to say about that, partner!
Stormy: Introducing his opponent, from Parts Unknown, weighing at 275 lbs - DMITRI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Tex: Jason isn't waiting any longer!
Duff: He just blindsided him!
A missle dropkick from Jason sends Dmitri for a bit before being hit by a vicious clothsline. Jason then quickly hops on the top rope and lands on Dmitri with a moonsault, then goes for a pin, but Dmitri halts the attempt at the count of two by bringing up the shoulder. Jason gets up, hits the ropes, while Dmitri is regaining his balance. Stevens goes for another clothsline, but Dmitri throws him out of the ring, Jason's back hitting the barricade. Dmitri exits the ring and tries to pick up Jason, but Jason kicks him in the legs, trying to bring down the man. Then he takes the back of his head, slams Dmitri's face into his right knee, then does a martial arts hip toss, throwing Dimitro to the other side. Jason goes for an Enziguri and connects, sending Dmitri to the floor. Throwing his opponent back in, Jason also rolls back in and climbs the ropes once more. But when he goes for his moonsault, his wind is knocked out as Jason's stomach lands on Dmitri's knees. Jason rolls over to the side, clutching his stomach. Dmitri gets up and with a face of rage locked on, he pummels Jason to the floor with brutality, then he picks him up and goes for a powerslam, which connects! Dmitri now goes for his own pin, but Jason kicks out at the count of two. Dmitri picks him up for a piledriver, but Jason manages to wiggle his way out of the positiion, landing on his feet. Jason then goes for a chop block kick and connects to the right knee, Dmitri falling down on one knee. Then Jason hits the ropes, comes back, and does a flipping neckbreaker, causing some damage to Dmitri, who is trying to get the feeling back. Jason goes for another pin, but Dmitri barely gets the shoulder up at the count of two! Jason gets on top of Dmitri and unleashes stiff punches to the face, some that get through, some that do not get through. Having fun, he decides to finish him off! Jason leaps on top of the ropes once more and unleashes the shooting star press! However, Jason took longer than expected as Dmitri got on his feet, saw him coming and moved away just in time, Jason immediately hurting from the impact! He gets up quickly, is completely stunned, and gets a big boot to the face! As he's done, Dmitri goes for his own finisher - the mandiable claw! Jason can't hold on to the pressure, so he taps within seconds!!!
Stormy: Here is your winner, by submission - DMITRI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duff: See, I knew I was right!
Tex: Jason was ferociousness tonight, but it wasn't enough to stop Dmitri from doing what he had to do!
Dmitri rolls out of the ring and pumps his fist into the air as he walks up the ramp and enters the curtain as Jason slowly sits on the ring and looks on with disblief...
Erik Black’s music hits as the former champion walks out to the ring with the fans giving him a mixed reaction, he enters the ring and demands a microphone as he stares at the fans before he starts to talk. Just before he starts to talk he is cut off as the camera turns to the titan-tron, and a bolt of thunder strikes the tron.
Tex: What the hell?
Duff: Tex look, at the tron. Look what it reads.
Tex begins to read the what it says on the titantron.
Tex:"Erik Black I hope you enjoyed your stay in the AWA because in three weeks, I will take your soul, and you will be executed out of existence!"
Duff: Sounds like someone is after Erik Black.
Tex: Yeah sure sounds like it. You have any clue on who you think is doing this?
Duff: I really don’t know.
Tex: I guess were gonna have to wait in three weeks to see who’s doing this.
Erik Black is shown in the ring staring at the message on the titan tron, where he doesn’t look a bit scared, but looks ready to battle who ever is doing this. The scene than cuts into another scene.
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is going to be under tag team rules!!! The first team to enter the arena is led to the ring by the first lady of wrestling Sapphira!!!! The team of Erik Black and the current International Champion Chaos!! Goth's Knights!!!!
Sapphira walks out to the ring as she is followed by The International Champion and Black a Chaos's music starts playing. The two men step in the ring as Sapphira stands on the ring apron and grins before walking off the apron as she uses the steps and walks over to the announce table.
Tex Martin: I guess Sapphira wants to see the action up close
Duff Travers: Well, she's the AWA's first lady you know
Stormy Canyon: And their opponents, they are the team of The Psycho Chris Shipman!! And the current Universal Champion Rex Butler!!!
The music of the newly crowned Universal Champion hits as the two men enter the arena. Rex has the title over his shoulder, while Shipman walks behind him. The two men enter the ring and they get assaulted by both Black and Chaos as the referee calls for the bell.
Tex Martin: I guess the match is underway!!!
We see Black trade blows with Shipman, while the two champions are in the corner where Chaos is choking Rex with a cord from his wristband that is hidden between his hands. The referee is starting to use the five count on Chaos, who lets go off the chokehold at the count of four. Chaos hides the cord in his hands and then delivers a big chop across the chest of the Universal Champion and then follows it up with a knee in the midsection of Rex Butler
Duff Travers: The battle of champions!! I can't wait to see these two lock horns once more!!!
Chaos whips Butler in the ropes and goes for a running clothesline, but Chaos ducks and then stops as Chaos runs to the other side of the ring. He goes for a shouldertackle, but Rex grabs him by the waist and drives him down on the canvas with a modified Samoan Drop that causes the fans to go nuts. On the other side we see Shipman deliver an Irish Whip on Erik Black, he then positions himself for a Back Body Drop, but Black manages to scout it on time and delivers a legdrop that causes Shipman to drop face first on the canvas and Black rolls him over for the count. Just as the referee goes for the cover, it is Rex Butler that pulls Black off of his tag team partner. Rex pulls Black off of his feet and whips him in the corner and follows it up with a running shouldertackle in the midsection of the former 2 time world champion. Rex goes for another Irish Whip and then goes for another shouldertackle in the midsection of the member of the Goth's knights, but Black this time moves out of the way and this causes Butler to hit the steel ring post. Black staggers backwards and grabs Rex by the arm and drives his knee in the back of the Universal Champion and pulls hard on the injured arm as we see Chaos slowly getting up and working on Chris Shipman.
Tex Martin: It looks like that the Knights have the upper hand on Butler and Shipman!!
Black gets up and pulls Butler to his feet as he holds on to the injured arm. Chaos can be seen whipping Shipman out of the ring and slides out of the ring as well. Black starts to drive elbows into the injured arm before walking to the ring ropes and is about to jump over the ring ropes. But just as he is about to do so it is the champion that drives his knee in the back of Black several times before grabbing him from behind and delivers a back suplex and drives Black in the middle of the ring. On the outside we see Shipman deliver a shotblock on Chaos after ducking a clothesline and grabs a television cord and wraps it around the throat of Chaos and starts to choke him with it.
Duff Travers: I guess its clear that Shipman wants a title shot and he is about to do anything to get it!!!
Rex has put Black with his throat against the ring ropes and puts all of his weight on top of Erik Black, choking him out. the referee is starting to use the five count on Rex Butler and he breaks the count at the final moment. We suddenly see Shipman emerge and he blasts the Universal Championship belt across the face of Black, who gets knocked out behind the back of the referee who got distracted by Rex Butler. Rex nods to Shipman and walks over to Black and lifts him up to execute his finishing move.
Tex Martin: The Wicked Sensation!!!
Rex executes the move and goes for the three count and the referee awards the victory over to the big man and his tag team partner. Shipman slides in the ring and holds the hand up high from Butler
Stormy Canyon: The winners of this match!!! Rex Butler and Chris Shipman!!!!
After the match, Butler and Shipman celebrate their victory as the lights go out inside the arena. Screams from the crowd can be heard as camera flashes dance through the darkness.
Tex: "The power just went out! Somebody didn't pay the electric bill!"
Duff: "I don't know what it is... but, this place is going crazy!"
The crowd goes up into a roar of cheers as Jason Stevens and Goth are shown attacking Butler and Shipman, along with Chaos and Erik Black. Goth and Chaos battle Rex into a corner, hitting him with lefts and rights; kicking him as he falls to the canvas.
Tex: "C'mon, Champ! You can take these guys!"
Duff: "I don't know if he can... he's just been battling for the last few minutes. Goth and his Knights are simply taking advantage of their weakened state!"
Tex: "Some owner he is!"
Stevens and Black keep the assult going on Shipman, bringing him down to the canvas, stomping him as Shipman tries to cover up his abdomen. AWA officials rush down to the ring trying to break up the attack, but Goth turns away from Butler and is overheard threatening to fire them if they get in the middle of anything. The referees quickly exit the ring and make their way up the ramp.
Duff: "I can't believe what I just heard! Goth would've fired all those referees... just to send a message to Rex Butler!"
Tex: "He's just using his power as owner to get even with Butler. He has to be ashamed of himself!"
The lights in the arena go out again "Get Psycho" blares through the speakers. The lights quickly come back on, and the crowd gasps in shock, as Toxic Angel and Dmitri are shown in the ring, attacking Goth's Knights. Goth and Chaos try to blindside Dmitri, but he hits them with a double clothesline as Toxic dropkicks Jason Stevens in the back, sending him falling outside the ring. Erik Black turns to grab Toxic by the hair, but Shipman grabs Black's foot and pulls him out of the ring. Shipman then slams Black's skull against the ringpost before sliding back into the ring. Dmitri and Rex each take Goth and Chaos, throwing them to the outside as well. A roar of boos goes through the crowd as Rex, Shipman, Toxic and Dmitri stand in the center of the ring. Rex walks over and demands a microphone from Stormy Canyon.
Tex: "What the hell is going on?"
