SHOCKWAVE!

(In black and white, the scene opens in a field of flowers. The camera pans around the scene, taking in the beauty. Daisy's cover most the land scape, but sunflowers, daffodils, and dandelions also are quite prevalent. As the camera rotates, it settles on a little girl, who can't be more than five years old. The girl is holding a daisy, in her hands, her blonde hair flowing in the breeze. The scene zooms in on the girl, who begins picking the petals off the daisy, playfully counting down as she does so)

(The scene is now the packed arena in Reno, Nevada. Thousands of screaming fans go nuts as pyrotechnics go off on stage. The camera spins, finally focusing on tonights announcers, Johnny Catchphrase and Ern Bishop, who are standing in the middle of the ring. Both are smiling broadly.)

Johnny Catchphrase- That's right… thanks to McCarthy, Azreal was eliminated from the Super J tournament in the Semifinals… and now he has to face the same man who benefited from that interference. Can he pull it off?

[Scene cuts to outside the back of the arena, a black 1968 Corvette Stingray pulls into view and takes a parking spot near by. As the motor shuts off the drivers door swings open. Dan Easton dressed in red and white warm-up pants, and white hooded sweat shirt steps out of the car, pulls a back from the passenger seat and starts to walk towards the camera. As Dan nears he cracks his trademark sinister grin, then begins to speak.]

Dan Easton- "Not the real pain begins. Lennox, Saunders, Corey, they get to take part in Easton's first hat trick. Then Taverna and Cage get to be victims number 4 and 5 on my hit list tonight. The plans is simple you see, Dan Easton proves once and for all why he belongs in this game. Tonight I step up to the plate, and show the entire world just how great of a home run hitter I can truly be, when I clain the WfWA Number One Contendership."

Jonny Catchphrase- Easton.. one of the many men participating in this huge six man tag match… which could see either him… but it might also see one of five others, including his arch enemy, Ryan Corey, crowned the number one contender.

[Slowly the lights dim down as the fans stand to their feet in await of the next NGWA superstar. Their whispers fill the air, as suddenly "Enter the Sandman" by Metallica starts to blare over the PA System. The fans send out a mixed reactions of boos and cheers as they hear this music, white lights flashing on and off on the stage as slowly but surley NGWAs former Massachusetts State Champion walks out onto the stage with a smirk on his face. He wears his usual ring attire consisting of black wrestling pants, two black elbowpads, and black wrist tape as he stops in the center of the stage and stares out at the fans. Jake walks down the ramp with a smirk on his face as he passes up a few outstrecthed hands and quickly slides under the bottom rope into the ring. Jake stands up and and quickly jumps up onto the second rope of the turnbuckle nearest him, a smirk still on his face as he looks around the crowd for a moment before he jumps off backwards and spins around in mid air landing on his feet, he quickly begins to jog in place and stretch slightly as his old music fades and the lights return to normal.]

[Miller blocks a punch by Devins and then Miller nails him with a big right sending him back into the corner JD holds onto the corner and delivers as kick to the abdomen of Miller sending him back and Devins with a spinning heel kick sending Miller right on his ass.]

[Miller rolls out of the ring as Devins is getting up Miller bashes Devins' head into the guard rails repeatedly as Devins goes down holding his head and Miller starts stomping on him as Jenna is standing there screaming at MM to "Beat Him!" As Devins rolls over we see he has been busted open]

[Miller picks up Devins and Irish whips him into the guardrail. Devins hit is hard and is hold his back as Miller walks towards him Jenna is taunting JD. Miller is standing over Devins as he gives a smile to Jenna he receives a leg sweep from JD who is on the floor.]

[Both men are on the floor as they Devins tries to use the guardrail to get back up to his feet as Miller shoots up with a spear sending both men into the first row of the arena onto a bunch of chairs. As the ref rolls out onto the floor.]

[Both men are down on a pile chairs as from behind Jenna is holding the Texas State Championship and just she takes a step back and charges the ref knocking him in the back of the head with belt as the ref goes down hard hitting his head on the guardrail on the way down as well.]

[Miller and Devins both start to get back up to there feet Miller is on his hands and knees as Devins is up on his feet now. BIG CHAIR SHOT FROM Miller right from the floor. Devins goes flying backwards onto anther chair as Miller drops the chair on the floor and puts Devins in a double underhook position.]

[Devins drops to his knees stopping the move Miller still has the hook locked in though Miller standing him back up against he is going to try for it again. NO! Devins sends Miller over his back onto a chair on the floor. As he stumbles a little.]

[Devins walks over to Miller and picks him up and hip tosses him back to the other side of the guardrail. As Jenna is screaming for Miller to get up as Devins uses the guardrail to propel himself into the air landing a huge leg drop across the neck of Miller.]

[Devins gets back up to his feet and pulls Miller back up to his feet he signals to the crowd for a DDT but Miller pushes him off but Devins comes in with a toe kick taking Miller back down to the ground. Jenna is on right next to JD screaming at him though he pays no attention to her. Devins picks up Miller and sends him into the steel steps!]

[Miller isn't stopping in the ring however as he sends Devins into corner and charges in with a huge clothesline as Devins is on the floor in the corner. As he ref is whispering in Talula Belle's ear standing next to the announcers table. Belle starts to speak as Miller continues to stomp on JD.]

Dan Pollaski- Good evening. As you all probably know right now… NGWA Superstar Glori Allysin Rose was brutally attacked by an unknown person or persons last Friday during the Shockwave preshow. As I know that Glori has quite a few fans, I felt it would be fair to everyone if I gave an update on her condition. Glori was taken to the Intensive Care Unit and was actually in critical condition for a few hours, but now she is in serious condition. Unfortunately, no one can tell the long term effects of this attack, or when and if we can see Miss Rose back in the ring.

Dan Pollaski- I have talked with her friends and family, and I have promised that I will be doing what I can to figure out who did this and why, and I promised them that whoever did do this will be facing the most severe consequences. Thank you very much.

[We fade into the backstage area at the Lawlor Events Center. Namely a dimly lit locker room. Sitting on a bench, getting ready for one of the biggest matches of his career, sits the Alliances Most Miserable Man. He's dressed in his ring gear, red baggy leather pants...red vest and Pharoahs of Rage T-Shirt. He's taping his wrists.]

Ern Bishop - Damn straight Catch, it's Marc McCarthy vs SyNn for the WWA Double Crown Title. These two have met before, right here in SSW. That was one for the books, and you gotta believe this one will be even more spectacular.

[A lone form can be seen through the fog and shadow's at the top of the ramp. The video wall is showing, fly-bys of the Vegas Strip at night. Along with highlights of SyNn, he's seen laying the hurt on people like Eric Dane, Hitting a SyNn-A-Plex on Stan Marshall are amoung the highlighs that flash by, in a 8mm film style.]

[The huge TV Screen flicks alive, and the words "MARC McCARTHY" in yellow messy lettering flash all over the screen, lighting the dimly lit arena a little more. As soon as those words come up, the crowd explodes into HUGE boos for the Double Crown Champion of WWA! The words fade, and then the words "AERIAL ARTIST" flash up then are quickly followed up by the words "EXTREME ICON," "DOUBLE CROWN," "REALITY CHECK," and "LUCHADOR." ]

[Lights flick on all the way, and "The Aerial Artist" Marc McCarthy - the WWA Double Crown Champion walks out from behind the black curtain. The live crowd explodes with huge heel heat and booing, as McCarthy just walks it off, not really caring about what the crowd thinks of him. Marc stops at the top of the ramp and points behind him. Amy Heartbreaker walks out, which turns the boos into cheers.]

[Marc McCarthy keeps walking down the ramp-way, with that cocky grin on his face, holding both his fists in the air. With his arms stretching upward, he grabs his forearm with his right hand. It must be like, a new sign or something, I don't know, whatever. Amy catches up and takes Marc's arm around hers, as they both keep walking to the ring.]

[Marc McCarthy wears his ring gear of dark red and green tights. Going down the right side of his tights is a thick line of dark red, going down the left side is a thick dark green line. On the right, right smack in the middle of the dark red will be three lines of dark green. On the left side, right smack in the dark green side, there will be three dark red lines. On his feet are black padded wrestling boots which has the words "Aerial Artist" going down the sides in white lettering. On his right elbow he has a black elbow pad, and he has white tape on both his fists. He has a black knee brace on his right knee. He's shirtless. Around his waist, is the WWA Double Crown Championship Belt. In his right hand is a brown Singapore Cane.]

[McCarthy grins and walks around the ring a little bit, sharing a few "friendly" conversations with the front row fans. McCarthy goes as far as slapping one in the forehead, taking his sign and ripping it up, then spits on it and throws it back in his face. McCarthy just stands there grinning at him, proud of what he has done, before he slides into the ring and walks across it leaping up between the two turnbuckles onto the second rope. Amy walks up the steps and steps through the ropes into the ring as Marc McCarthy throws both fists into the air holding the Singapore Cane up, as the crowd starts booing louder.]

[He slowly gets down and hands the ref his Double Crown Title, then tosses his Cane to the outside of the ring. Amy comes over and backs him into the corner with both hands on his chest. McCarthy's eyes, however, even with the hottest woman on the planet in front of him, doesn't leave SyNn.]

Ern Bishop - And since this match is No-DQ, you can bet it'll be something big. And here we go, they charge at each other! McCarthy ducks a SyNn clothesline, bounds off the ropes...twisting torpedo splash, dodged by SyNn!

Ern Bishop - This crowd aren't very fond of McCarthy. SyNn isn't the cleanest character in the world, but this is his home federation. We've seen some great matches from this guy right here in SSW, and this promises to be another.

Ern Bishop - That's what these fans like to see, at least. McCarthy up, SyNn kicks him in the ribs to not much effect. Marc McCarthy is not happy. Another kick...uppercut from McCarthy! Right hook! And another! And another! SyNn driven back against the ropes...

[The brawl continues through the crowd as SSW security parts the people before the two wrestlers, clearing a path towards a large open area towards the back of the ground level, used as a storage area - there are tables, chairs, large kegs, cans, you name it, all stacked against a high wall that leads up to the higher level of the crowd, where more fans are egging the two wrestlers on.]

[Both men lie for a while, only SyNn making the smallest movements. Marc McCarthy does not move at all. Before long, SyNn makes a concentrated effort to get to his feet, fighting against the liquid. He manages to stay up by grabbing on to whatever is left of the table before picking the still-unconscious McCarthy up and carrying him back through the crowd.]

Ern Bishop - Clothesline!! Clothesline by SyNn takes a still-shocked Marc McCarthy down! And look at Amy Heartbreaker...she's cowering on the other side of the ringside area, and it looks like SyNn is going after her! Slides into the ring...

[SyNn turns around and whips McCarthy into the ropes, and walks to the middle of the ring, waiting for Marc in a back body drop position. McCarthy leap frogs over SyNn, and when SyNn turns around, nails him with a Drop to the knee which sends SyNn down. McCarthy goes up to the top rope, getting up in one leap, facing away from SyNn. He laps off, making two full missile-like spins in the air, then comes CRASHING down across the chest of SyNn in a Senton Splash manner.]

[SyNn gets up, but McCarthy is already waiting for him with a slap to the face. SyNn is sent reeling back, but takes control of the situation by rebounding against the ropes and taking Marc McCarthy down with a flying scissor kick.]

[SyNn picks up McCarthy for a Scoop Slam, but Marc slides off SyNn's back, and lands on his feet. SyNn turns around... McCarthy leaps up onto his shoulders and takes him over with a Hurracanrana! SyNn's head goes RIGHT through the table!]

Ern Bishop - Clothesline...NO!! McCarthy was going for a clothesline, but paused halfway across the ring, the pain in his side is just too great! SyNn up on the second rope...dropkick! McCarthy knocked a few feer back...

Jonny Catchphrase - McCarthy was just sent crashing to the mat!! SyNn is determined to put an end to this match right now! Look at the state McCarthy's in...he's been left a twitching mess on the mat, a shadow of his former self, a shadow of the WWA Double Crown Champion...

Ern Bishop - Heartbreaker just got drilled with possibly the most deadly high-flying move around, and she is well and truly out of it. But did SyNn waste too much time with the girlfriend instead of going for the main course?

Ern Bishop - My thoughts exactly. Marc McCarthy is back in this thing! He's still bleeding from the side like nothing else, but amazingly, he is still alive and kicking! SyNn gets up after that Shooting Star Press, and...man, I don't think he believes McCarthy's up either!

[McCarthy stares at SyNn with the Double Crown Title and murmurs a curse under his breath. He snaps, swearing, kicking the ropes, pulling at his hair. After a second he slides to the outside of the ring, grabbing his Singapore Cane. He slides back in, and NAILS SyNn across the back of the head, then starts drilling his skull and upper body with Cane shots.]

[McCarthy heads out of the ring and up the ramp and picking the downed Amy Heartbreaker up and carrying her with him, the wound on his side still gushing blood. SyNn lies in the center of the ring, not an iconic Champion by any means...]

[Backstage at the Events Center, the camera pans along the hallways, passing many well-known wrestlers along the way. However, it stops on one - exiting his locker room, wearing blue jeans and a Ramones shirt. The camera follows him along the hallway as he stares out other wrestlers. Turning a corner, he bumps into a familiar figure.]

Oroku Saki - Yes, I think so. You can't hold on to that belt for ever. Oh, sorry, sorry. Yes you can. You're Red Dragon, you're not a man, you're a God, aren't you? Beating you is impossible, isn't it? Sorry, I must have plum forgot about it.

Red Dragon - I know I'm only human, and I know that one day I'll have to give this belt up. But I'll be damned if it's Rayne. See, that guy represents all that's wrong with this business. He claims to be all righteous but he turns around and smashes me with a baseball bat. And that crowd out there prefer to cheer him, possibly the worst WWA Champion of all time, than me - undoubtedly the greatest.

[Chris climbs up onto the ring.Chris steps through the ropes and stands in the middle of the ring, glaring somewhat angrily at the fans facing him. The song transitions to the indecipherable maelstrom of blast beats and screams.]

[As Stan slips out of Egerton's side head lock and lashes out with a kick to the back of Egerton's knee causing it to buckle. But as Chris goes down to one knee, Stan runs to the ropes bouncing off landing a drop kick to the back of Egerton's head, sending him face first into the mat!]

[Stan's give one more stomp for 'mom' before reaching down and picking up Egerton up by his hair, yelling and talking smack as he does. But just as he get's Egerton up. He get's several shot's to the mid-section for his trouble.]

[Chris get's to his feet, dazed from the impact of his head hitting the mat. Rubbing his temple he starts to turn to face Stan. But as he does Stan see another open door and charges from behind, grabbing a handful of hair and leap's!]

[Saying Marshall's dazed would be a gross understatement. Stan stumbles trying to right himself, using the ropes to pull himself up. Egerton not waiting for Stan to totally get back to his feet charges, launching himself at back of Marshall.]

[As Egerton get's to his feet, he has enough of his wits about him to roll under the bottom rope breaking the ten count. But it doesn't last long as he roles back out, and the ref has to start over. Chris could care less as he makes his way over to Stan who's gotten to his feet and charging! Stan goes for a round house kick, only to have his leg caught by Egerton.]

[While Ern and Johnny argue, there's action back in the ring. To a good sized pop, both men got back to their feet at the same time. Egerton get's the upper hand and starts to irish whip Marshall only to have it reversed. Egerton bounces off the ropes and ducks a clothes line. As both men come back off the ropes a second time, Marshall telegraphs a back body drop..........]

[Stan fights back enough to get Egerton doubled over. Not wasting anytime, he gets a standing leg scissors applied. With a couple more punches to Egerton's exposed back, he locks in the ever important waist lock and pick's up Chris in a Powerbomb posistion......

[Chris yanks Marshall to his feet to yet another huge FACE POP. Driving a boot into Stan's midsection, he locks in a standing head scissors. Reaching over he locks in a waste lock and pull's Stan up and places him on his shoulders. Reaching out Chris grabs both of Marshall's arms, holding them straight out...]

[Indeed he should, but instead Chris runs and bounces off the far ropes. On his way back he uses Stan's prone body as a springboard. Egerton launches himself into the air, jumping up to the top rope before using that rope to launch himself back towards Stan...]

Talula Belle- THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL… AND IS FOR THE WWA CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! INTRODUCING FIRST… WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDERED AND FIFTEEN POUNDS, AND ALREADY IN THE RING… YOUR NEW NGWA SUPER J CHAMPION… CHRIS EGERTON!

[Azrael moves to his left as Egerton moves to his right. They circle each other briefly, never taking their eyes off of each other. They close in on each other and meet in the middle hooking up with a collar and elbow tie up.]

[Azrael pushes, Egerton pushes, Azrael pushes back and Egerton pushes back again. Azrael wins the struggle taking over with a side headlock, he wrenches down hard on it while Egerton starts moving his arms about trying to find an escape.]

[Egerton waistlocks Azrael and tries to lift him up. Azrael responds with a couple of punches to Egerton's head causing the waistlock. Azrael lets go of Egerton and flips back off his shoulder landing behind Egerton. Before he could react, Azrael was quick to grab on to the headlock.]

[Azrael spins around sends Egerton to the mat with a drop toe hold. Azrael quickly tries to capitalize by grabbing Egerton's left leg for and tries for an ankle lock submission. Egerton quickly able to get his wits about him, turns himself over and kicks Azrael once and twice in the chest with his right foot and gets him to break his grip with a third kick landing squarely on Azrael's face.]

[Azrael stumbles back holding his face momentarily as Egerton begins to roll up to his feet. Azrael shakes off the effects of getting kicked in the face and charges at Egerton just as he's getting to his feet. Egerton see's this coming and catches Azrael with an over-head belly-to-belly suplex.]

[Azrael is up first and then Egerton. Azrael tries for a clothesline, Egerton ducks under. Azrael bounces off the ropes and ducks a clothesline from Egerton. Azrael and Egerton both bounce off the ropes. Egerton drops to the mat and Azrael jumps over him. Egerton hops up and bends down looking for a back body drop, but Azrael does a forward roll over Egerton's back and hit's the ropes again. Azrael springboards off the second rope trying for a Springboard Moonsault into a DDT, only for Egerton to catch him, twist away from the ropes and take Azrael over with a Northern Lights Suplex and a bridge. The ref dives to the mat to make the count.]

[Egerton pops up and drops an elbow on to Azrael's chest. Lifts him up and tries for text-book suplex, Azrael floats over top and waistlocks him from behind and tries to suplex him, Egerton blocks and elbows Azrael in the head. Egerton with a go behind, he tries for a back drop suplex, Azrael once again flips back off his shoulder and grabs a headlock. Azrael spins and goes behind Egerton and then spins him around, tries for a text-book suplex, Egerton floats over this time and cracks Azrael in the back of the head with an elbow smash causing him to stumble forward a bit.]

[Azrael turns around, Egerton spins once and hits a ROARING ELBOW! to Azrael's face that staggers him back near the ropes. Egerton follows up with a picture perfect dropkick to the chest that sends Azrael tumbling out of the ring and to the arena floor.]

[Egerton waits for Azrael to start getting up...waiting...waiting... Egerton takes a few steps back and then handsprings across the mat and sends himself flying over the top rope with a SPACE FLYING TIGER DROP! crashing into Azrael and crushing him on the floor.]

[Egerton gets up a little gingerly and seems a bit hobbled on his left knee after the landing on the floor. He shakes it off and goes to work, picking Azrael up and snap suplexes him on the floor. Azrael cringes in pain and holds his back. Egerton stomps him on the chest before rolling him back into the ring.]

[Azrael lifts and scoop slammed Egerton with authority and dropped a leg across his face. Azrael picked Egerton up again and dragged him to the nearest corner and then dropped with a vicious back drop suplex. Azrael mounted the top rope and hit a twisting backflip into a senton, crashing down on Egerton's body.]

[Azrael popped off the mat clutching at his midsection from the impact and as he turned around he was caught out of nowhere by a stilled dazed Chris Egerton who planted Azrael into the mat with a Urange, dropping right on his shoulders, neck and head.]

[Egerton gets up slowly and tries to knock away the cobwebs as he waits for Azrael to rise. Egerton charges and levels Azrael with a clothesline. Egerton lifts Azrael for an Inverted Atomic Drop and bounces off the ropes. Egerton kicks high, aiming for the head, Azrael surprised him by catching his foot and all in one fluid motion took him down with an ultra fast Dragon Screw legwhip. Azrael immediately followed up with a half crab and sat down right on Egerton's back while wrenching away at his left leg.]

[Egerton groaning in pain as Azrael continues to torque on his leg with the half crab... Egerton tries to break free, but Azrael just torques even harder by leaning further back. Egerton finally tripped one of Azrael's legs causing him to release the hold. Egerton wracked in pain started to crawl towards the ropes, but Azrael was quickly back on top of him and locked on the half crab again.]

[Egerton crawls closer to the ropes, but still can't reach the ropes. Egerton screams in pain and seems to gain a second strength of desperation as he digs his hands into in the mat and pushes up and tries to get Azrael off balance and it works enough to get Azrael to loosen up on the hold just long enough for Egerton to crawl close enough to grab on to the bottom rope.]

[Azrael releases the hold and drags Egerton back to the middle of the ring. Azrael stomps Egerton's leg and then drops an elbow across the back of his neck. Azrael turns Egerton over, lifts his left leg up and tries for a figure four leglock, but Egerton countered with a small package that only got a one count.]

[Azrael was up quickly to his feet and caught Egerton right on the side of the head with a low dropkick. Azrael popped up and tried for a rolling cradle that only got a one count. Azrael ripped Egerton up and took him over with a Arm-Trapped (Gangrel) Belly-to-Belly suplex.]

[Azrael whips Egerton to the furthest corner and crashes into him with a handspring back elbow attack and then whips him to the corner across the ring and again hits a handspring back elbow. Azrael blasts Egerton in the face with an elbow and sends him back to the other corner with enough force that Egerton stumbled out of the corner. Azrael was already on the move as he went past the dazed Egerton, leaped to the second ropes and backflipped into a DDT planting Egerton on his head.]

[Azrael bounces off the ropes and baseball slides into Egerton catching on to his head for a DDT, but Egerton instinctively shoves him off and Azrael crashes back first into the steel guard railing. Egerton rolls himself back into the ring. Azrael is right behind him, also rolling into the ring. Egerton is up first and charges at Azrael with a lariat, Azrael ducks, Egerton stops in his tracks, swings around as Azrael does the same and both hit each other with clotheslines. Neither falls and they both swing connecting with punches to the face and it staggers both of them.]

[Azrael swings, Egerton blocks, Egerton swings, Azrael blocks and kicks at Egerton's left knee with a shin kick and takes him over with a Hammerlock Northern Lights suplex, but doesn't go for the cover. Azrael hooks Egerton's head for an Acid Drop, but Egerton shoves him off into the turnbuckle! Egerton bounds off the ropes and nails Azrael with a Lariat! Both men lay gasping for air on the mat.]

[Egerton springs into action and hits Azrael who just got up on to one knee, on the side of the head with a SHINING WIZARD (knee smash)!!! Egerton doesn't capitalize, just falls to the mat... Egerton rolls away a bit, gets up and waits for Azrael to get up... He bounces off the ropes and drives another SHINING WIZARD knee smash into Azrael's face. This time he goes for the cover.....]

[Egerton is up right away and drops a knee on Azrael's face. Egerton lifts Azrael up and hits a Reverse Neckbreaker and follows up with a dropkick to the back of the head. Egerton lifts Azrael again, goes behind and lifts him for an Atomic Drop and drops him straight down on his backside. Egerton steps back a bit and takes with a vicious kick to the back and a second to the back of the head. Egerton lifts him up again and hits a jumping piledriver.]

[Azrael rolls around in pain after the dropkick to his neck not knowing that Egerton is waiting for him... Azrael gets up to a knee and Egerton takes off looking for another Shining...Azrael comes to his senses quick enough to roll out the way and out of the ring. Egerton was way ahead of him and hit a Corkscrew body attack over the top rope to the floor.]

[Egerton slams Azrael's face into the ring apron and then rolls him back in. Egerton climbs up on to the apron, slingshots over the top rope landing on the second rope, he springboards into a moonsault. Egerton lifts Azrael up and whips him to the ropes, spins, ROARING ELBOW, Azrael ducks and kicks Egerton in the gut and takes him down with a backslide pin.......]

[Both get to their feet and Azrael connects with a ROARING ELBOW of his own that staggers Egerton and Azrael follows up with a LARIAT that is countered with a go behind and a VERTICAL GERMAN SUPLEX that drops Azrael directly on to his skull! Azrael is down face first on the mat.]

[Egerton goes to the apron, springboard, SENTON! Egerton uses his momentum and rolls right to his feet and hits a top rope ASAI MOONSAULT! Egerton gets up and yells that this is it... He rips Azrael off of the mat, turns him around and locks on an inverted facelock... Azrael blocks and escapes, he kicks at Egerton's left leg again and then once to the gut and hooks him up for Egerton's own finish, MY GREAT DEVASTATOR!!! And plants him with it.....Azrael hooks a leg...]

[Azreal is stunned He slashes his throat showing that this match is OVER... He rips Egerton off the mat and puts him in the nearby corner and sets him up on the top rope... He signifies that this is it and hooks Egerton for a SUPER FISHERMAN's BUSTER!!]

[Azrael is trying to keep Egerton from locking both arms... Egerton blasts him on the back with a forearm... Egerton tries again, but Azrael butts him in the face with the back of his head...and again and again... Egerton's nose just exploded with a gush of blood!!]

[Egerton falls back with his hands covering his face. Azrael tries to steady himself as the headbutts had also made him woozie... He tries to himself off the ropes, but Egerton had gotten up and hit a flying double axe handle on his spine. Egerton climbs up on to the ropes again, but if smashed in the face with a back elbow. Azrael repositions himself on the ropes so he is standing side-by-side with Egerton and he hooks him....]

[Egerton gets up and is kicked in the gut. Azrael sets him up for a powerbomb... He crosses Egerton's arms across his chest... Azrael tries to lift.... Egerton blocks..... Tries again.... Blocked.... Azrael lets go and KNEES EGERTON IN THE FACE!!!]

(The crowd gives a massive pop as Egerton begins to stir, and struggles to his feet, grimacing through the searing pain in his neck. He stares at Egerton, and Egerton stares back, before both men simultaneously offer each others hands, and shake.)

[The camera finds Ricky Taverna backstage, he's dressed ready for action in his usual attire: Black trousers, boots and a white shirt with the sleeves cut off. Accompanying the Card Shark, is resident SSW slut, Tallula Belle, dressed accordingly in something slutty.]

Ricky Taverna - No chance, I'm facing and partnering cumstains that I don't care about. All I want to do is teach these schumcks what we do here in Nevada. They can come from miles around, but no one cares about them. The only thing that matters in this match is myself and Matt Saunders. Whoever isn't let down by the cumstains he has to work with will win, it's that simple. These schmucks should get the 'F' out of Nevada before they become permanent fixtures in the concrete floor of the casino.

Jonny Catchphrase - I remember Red when he was a rookie back in WWCW. I was Champion over there for a time, I took this kid under my wing, just a little and he went on to be the last WWCW champion, now he's an insane monster that's hardly recognisable from the kid I knew.

Talula Belle - (wipes her mouth) Ladies and gentlemen our next match this evening is a Ladder match and is for the WWA New England, New Generation Wrestling Alliance, Heavyweight Title. Introducing first from Shattered Plains, North Dakota he weighs in at 275 lbs ... RAAAAYYYYYYYNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The sound of thunder begins to roll throughout the arena. As it fades away, a pitter pattering is heard as silver glitter begins falling from the ceiling. Strobes flicker throughout the entire arena, giving the glitter this "falling rain effect." Suddenly, out of nowhere, the power of Verdi's "Dies Irae" begins to boom throughout the arena. The crowd explodes in cheers.]

[After a few moments, Rayne steps out onto the stage wearing a pair of cut-off blue jeans, black combat boots and a black, sleeveless "NGWA" t-shirt. He walks to the top of the stage, stands with his arms spread and lowers his head as pyro goes off above him, sending sparks raining down upon him. The crowd is absolutely nuts at this point.]

[Rocket From The Crypt's 'On A Rope' kicks in in explosive fashion, and following the same theme, pyro bursts up from both sides of the stage and the crowd go absolutely wild as Red Dragon steps out on the stage wearing a pair of torn blue jeans and a Ramones shirt.]

[After taking in the booing, Red holds his head up high and strides down the ramp, mouthing obscenities at his opponent as he goes. Red steps on the apron and Rayne steps forward. The two go nose-to-nose, literally screaming in each others' faces as the music fades out.]

[Red beats Rayne to the punch and starts firing off rights into the face of Rayne, backing him up, Rayne blocks one and comes back with one of his own, Rayne follows it up with more, Red Dragon backed against the ropes and whipped across the ring. Red rebounds off the ropes ducks a clothesline from Rayne, puts the brakes on Rayne turns straight into a kick to the gut and Red drills him with a DDT.]

[Rayne stomped several times by Red who's back on his feet at the double, laying into Rayne. Red grabs a handful of hair and pulls Rayne back to his feet and goes for a Snap Suplex, Rayne blocks it, Red goes for it again, but again it's blocked by Rayne who adjusts and lifts Red, hitting a Snap Suplex.]

[Rayne rolls back up but Red's not far behind the two tie up, collar and elbow style, Red tries for a go behind into a Hammerlock but Rayne blocks it and goes behind into a Wristlock of his own. Rayne quickly wraps an arm around the neck of Red and takes him down with a Reverse DDT.]

[Red pulled back up, Rayne whips him into the corner, Red hit's it hard and Rayne follows in with a right hand to the face, Rayne peppers Red with a bunch of closed fists, and then a Forearm. Rayne grabs Red and sends him across the ring..

[Rayne catches Red with a boot to the face as he starts to get back to his fet, Red pulled back up. Rayne goes for an Irish whip..but it's reversed. Rayne shot to the ropes, by Red who ducks down and as Rayne comes back he's sent high into the air..

[Red Dragon looking possessed releases the STF and grabs the legs of Rayne dropping and elbow into the back of it, Red back to his feet turns Rayne over and stomps him in the gut, before tying his legs up in a Figure Four Leglock.]

[Rayne pulls himself to his feet using the apron. Red Dragon still in the middle setting up the ladder, he turns around, seeing Rayne and smirks a little, before rushing forward and sending Rayne staggering backwards into the ringside barrier with a Baseball Slide Dropkick.]

[Red rolls to his feet and lays in several boots to the midsection of Rayne before stomping him and pulling him back to his feet by the hair, Red whips Rayne to the ropes, Rayne rebounds back and is sent crashing down with a Running Big Boot to the face.]

[Rayne in the ring starts to climb and the crowd pops. Red Dragon looks down on McCarthy amongst a bunch of wrecked equipment and then to the ring and the smirk disappears from his face. And Red charges down towards the ring.]

[We fade in to a shot of the backstage hallway. Walking towards us is Matt Saunders, which receives a large pop from the Nevada faithful in attendance. He is drinking a bottle of water and is in a gray track suit. He walks right by the camera, and into his locker room]

"I would have to say without a shadow of doubt that I am the "X factor" in this match. Nobody knows what to expect from me, nobody knows how well i'm going to do. Not even I know. Which is a scary thought, because I'm so used to having it on lock all of the time."

"I know that once the match starts, I will be watching my opponents just as much as I will my partners. It's funny how you have to rely on a couple of guys to uphold your team, and then turn around and wrestle them later on for the number one contendership."

"As for my partners, I know of their pasts. I know they are both former world champions, something that I have never quite reached. Ryan Corey make for formadable partners, and make for even tougher opponents. Lennox outlasted me at summer games, but this time it will be me who outshines you all...."

Talua Bell- LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING IS THE SIX MAN TAG NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH! THE RULES ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE MATCH WILL HAVE TWO FALLS… THE FIRST WILL A SIX MAN TAG MATCH THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! AFTER THAT, THE WINNING TEAM WILL COMPETE IN A SINGLE FALL TRIPLE THREAT MATCH, THE WINNER OF WHICH WILL BE THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!

Johnny Catchphrase- That's right.. normally, going through such hell would give you a new lease on life… but Cage just sees it as another extention to kick ass. He's not much of a team player, and that could hurt him today!

["Something for the Weekend" by Super Fury Animals begins to play. Images on the video wall display dice being rolled, cards being laid on the green felt of a table. A ball coming to land in the number thirteen on a Roulette Wheel. And then Fruit Machine's spinning around, coming up with 3 cherries.]

Talula Belle- AND NOW FOR THEIR OPPONENTS! INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM WHITING, IOWA… WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDERED AND THIRTY FIVE POUNDS… REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN WRESTLING ASSOCIATION… THE NIGHTBRINGER…. RYAN CORREY!

[Red and White pyro streamers, burning bright ignite and engulf the entrance area in a bath of fire and brimstone. The crowd is on their feet and whipped into fury as they give The Wolverine an amazing ovation at the entrance area.]

[Just as that all important phrase is said, two rockets fly down from the ceiling and blast into the top of the entranceway. This draws the audience's attention there for a moment, and when they look back at the entrance, "The Wolverine" Micheal Lennox is there. He stands on the platform, with a focused look on his face when he pours water over his head as he walks down the aisle dressed in ripped black jeans with "Wolverine" written down one leg, combat boots, taped fists and a black/red "Bourbon Street" t-shirt, and an old black leather jacket while he wears his W*3 Heavyweight Title belt around his waist and his W*3 Tag Team Title belt over his shoulder. His long tangled hair hanging down in his face while he walks down the aisle and smacks hands with the fans before he steps inside of the ring and climbs the nearest turnbuckle before he gives the fans a double fist salute.]

[Out he comes from the back in his trade mark dark blue robe and matching pants. We can see the white letters on both sides of his legs that read Showtime. He stands there on top of the ramp, breathing in the experience of the music, and the fans who have risen to their feet.]

(Easton gets back to his feet and picks up a stunned Lennox and goes for a German suplex but Lennox counters by hooking the arms and smashing his head into Easton's face numerous times before tripping him to the mat and locks on a STF.)

Jonny Catchphrase- Yeah. He is. Well.. um… were supposed to have a second fall to this, but none of the finalists are exactly in a position to wrestle. I just got told we're taking a couple minutes break, and then we'll be right back with the Triple Threat to determine the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER!

(Meanwhile in the ring Saunders has climbed the ropes and takes flight a corkscrew plancha landing on both Lennox and Corey on the floor. Saunders rolls back in and showboats a little as Lennox rolls in and followed shortly by Corey.)

(Saunders grabs Lennox and puts him over his shoulders. Saunders looks for the Agony of Defeat but Lennox kicks his way off and shoves Saunders into a superkick from Corey. Corey and Lennox look to each other before they climb up to opposing turnbuckles and leap off with tandem elbow drops. Both of them go for the cover.]

(Corey is up first and hits Lennox first with a running elbow before throwing him into the near corner and firing away with a vicious chop. Lennox comes back with a chop of his own. Both continue to trade chops when Saunders comes out of nowhere and clotheslines both guys to the mat.)

(Lennox rolls out to the ring apron and Saunders picks up Corey. He tries again for the Agony of Defeat, Corey escapes and pushes Saunders from behind into the ropes just as Lennox got up. Saunders' head banged against Lennox's before Corey took Saunders over with a rolling back cradle. Corey kept rolling with so that both ended up on their feet with Corey having Saunders in a rear waistlock, Corey took Saunders over with a German Suplex, no bridge, all impact.)

(Lennox who had been sent reeling to the floor rolls back in and is met by Corey with an elbow drop. Saunders joins the fight again and helps Corey with pummeling Lennox. They sent him to the far corner, Corey whipped Saunders into the corner and Saunders crashed into Lennox with a Stinger Splash. Saunders moved out of the way just before Corey came charging in with a clothesline into the corner.)

(Corey and Saunders continue to pummel away on Lennox when they whip him into the ropes for a double back drop but Lennox holds on to the ropes and kicks Corey in the head. Saunders comes up and goes for a clothesline but Lennox ducks under and boots Saunders in the midsection. Lennox tries for a Bayou Stunner... Corey took aim... Saunders broke away from Lennox... Corey blasted Lennox right on the chin with a SUPERKICK that sent him reeling over the top rope.)
