As the bell rings both men approach one another and go for the lock-up. Ryan McCann catches Zack Steele in a headlock, and is whipped into the ropes, receiving an arm drag upon his return.

Ryan McCann jumps back to his feet and they go for another lock-up, but he is met with a kick to the gut by Zack Steele, doubling him over, followed by a hard forearm to the back of the head sending him crashing to his knees. Getting behind him, Zack Steele immediately tries to lock him into a full nelson but Ryan McCann rolls forward and catches Zack’s legs in a cradle.

Mike Fisher:"Zack Steele is a boss!"
Scott James:"You're like sixty three Mike. don't say phrases like that."
Zack Steele gets right out of it and rushes forward with a stiff clothesline that sends Ryan McCann down to the mat hard, almost flipping in mid-air, landing awkwardly on his side. Not going for the cover, Zack lands a few stomps to Ryan McCann’s downed body. Zack places Ryan McCann into a figure four leg lock and leans back to apply pressure to the hold. After struggling against the pain for close to a solid minute Ryan McCann is able to crawl towards the edge of the ring and grab hold of the bottom rope. Zack breaks the hold and jumps back to his feet. Ryan McCann does the same and dazes Zack with a sharp kick to the midsection before starting to run against the ropes. Zack catches him as he comes back and hits a beautiful belly-to-belly suplex. Zack goes for a cover on Ryan McCann.

1…………2… .. Kick out by Zack Steele!
Mike Fisher:"A lot of pinfalls in this match."
Scott James:"Very close calls! This is an intense match!"
Ryan McCann is the first one to his feet. He drags Zack up and hits a few forearms to the face before whipping him into the ropes. When Zack Steele comes back Ryan McCann hits him with a tremendous spinning wheel kick that looks like it took his head clean off! Ryan McCann waits for the Answer to get up again, and when he does so, he attempts to drop him with a running clothesline but Zack is able to duck the move at the last second. Zack grabs Ryan McCann and locks him into a full nelson. He lifts Ryan McCann into the air with the move applied and sends him crashing to the mat with a devastating full nelson slam. He drags Ryan McCann back to his feet and the two begin exchanging punches. Zack Steele gets the better end of it and when Ryan McCann begins to stagger, Zack Steele sends him over the top rope with a running clothesline.

Ryan McCann slips out of it and lands behind Zack Steele. He grabs a hold of him and uses all of his strength to send Zack crashing down on top of the concrete floor with an awkward looking suplex.
Mike Fisher:"That was ugly..."
Scott James:"That was impressive!"

Round 1 of the IIW International Title Tournament
vs
(The lights in the arena go out. The arena is completely dark as a photo of John F. Kennedy appears on the giant video screen. Kennedy’s voice is heard saying “I will splinter the C.I.A. in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds”.
The still photo then switches to the infamous video of Kennedy’s assassination. The gruesome video fades to darkness and then the voice of David Duchovny is heard saying his famous line from X-File “the truth is out there.”.
The humming intro of Wake Up by Rage Against the Machin begins to play throughout the arena and an upplight illuminates Thomas Stone who stands at the top of the entrance way with his hand down and arms crossed. As the heavy guitar riffs kick in Thomas throws his head back, his braids slinging water in the air as he throws his arms out and screams.
Thomas begins storming to the ring and as he gets to ring side leaps onto the apron and then runs down it and climbs up the turnbuckle with one foot on the top turnbuckle and one on the middle. Thomas throws up his right hand that is covered in a black glove and holds it in a fist to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Thomas nods his head and steps over the top turnbuckle dropping to the ring.
Thomas takes three quick steps and slides into the middle of the ring on his knee where he drops his head and once again sticks his fist into the air.)
As The Frayed Ends Of Sanity by Metallica fills the arena from the PA system, ''The Bitter One'' Jason Myers walks out to a blackened out arena. As he approaches the middle of the ramp, he stretches out his arms as the lights begin to turn on. He then runs into the ring, sliding under the bottom rope. He then climbs the turnbuckle and raises his arms, making the sign of the devil with his hands.
Thomas Stone gets off to a fast start as picks up Myers and locks him in for a suplex. He lifts him up, but Myers floats over and counters with a neck breaker. Stone's head smacks the floor with a thud as both men hit the mat. Myers is the first to his feet as he picks up Stone and drags him into the ring. The men stand looking at each other. Stone rushes Myers looking for a clothesline, but Myers ducks and in turn spins and hits a elbow smash which dazes Stone. Myers loads Stone on his shoulders and tries to set him up for the electric chair. He sets him on the top turnbuckle and is about to climb up with him, but Stone lands a hard forearm which knocks Myers down to the floor. Stone grabs his head and hits a tornado DDT. Myers's head bounces of the mat as Stone rolls him over for the pin.

Mike Fisher: Thomas Stone is not giving up in this match! Jason Myers might not be able to pull off the win here tonight.
Scott James: Myers is simply waiting for his opportunity. That's what this man does. You wait and see.
Myers climbs up to the turnbuckle looking for something, when Stone pops up and knocks him down. Stone climbs up to meet him delivering shot after shot to the gut of Myers before hooking him up for a suplex. Myers is able to block it however and pushes Stone down. Stone lands on his feet but is then knockdown with a diving dropkick. Myers watches as Stone gets to a knee before delivering kick after kick after kick to the chest of Stone. He goes for a head kick but Thomas Stone ducks, trips up Jason Myers and locks in the "Truth Hurts". Myers begins to fade a bit as he tries to reach the rope.]
Mike Fisher: Your boy is fading Scott. Thomas Stone is going to make him tap!"
Scott James: GET UP MYERS!
Myers begins fighting to get back into the match hitting elbows to the ribs of Stone, but Stone is able to bring him back down with "WAKE UP CALL" out of nowhere! It didn't look like he got all of it though as both men are already recovering. Stone up first is calling for his Truth Bomb he prepares to for Myers and rushes in, but Myers counters into a roll up.

Myers kicks Stone in the gut and lifts him up for what looks like a brain buster, but Stone counters and rushes Myers into the corner. He sets him up top, but eats a kick. Stone staggers back as Myers gears up to fly again, but Stone rushes in and runs up the turnbuckle with amazing speed. Both men stand on top of the turnbuckle fighting it out. Myers tries for a forearm and it connects. Stone reels back but holds on. Myers does a throat slit taunt and goes for a knockout blow only to get another WAKE UP CALL!!!!
Mike Fisher: He’s down and out here!!!!
Scott James: He’s gonna lock in the Truth Hurts again!
Thomas Stone positions himself above Jason Myers and locks in the Truth Hurts…This time there isn’t much fight as Jason Myers quickly tap out
Melanie Jackson: YOUR WINNER AND PROGRESSING IN THE INTERNATIONAL TITLE TOURNAMENT……THOMAS STONE!
Won't Get Fooled Again' by The Who blares from the PA system, but there's no sign of DiStoner, Myers seething as he yells down the mic;
'DiStoner you scumbag get your ass out here right now! Unless you're the chickenshit I've always known you to be!'
Dan DiStoner then makes his way to the entrance ramp, carrying a case of Budweiser in one hand and a mic in the other as he speaks;
'Myers, old buddy, fancy a drink? Haha, now look, you want another piece of this after I showed you up infront of the whole world at Krush, Kill N' Destroy? You didn't bank on me having backup now did ya? I've seen your old stuff, how you rolled with Robinson and The WolfPack back in the day. Now, what is it you want? A date? A hookup to a dealer? Out with it boy!'
'If you paid attention to what went down at the PPV, I wasn't the one who was pinned. Until management got involved, it was meant to be me and you and had that jackass Chino not got in my way, I'd have you beat. So, how about it, Champ? Me and you, tonight, one on one. I don't care that I've just had a match! If you're scared, I'll understand and I'll just hunt you down backstage, beating your stoned ass senseless and then I'll go after both of your rentboys!'
DiStoner then makes his way down the ramp, signalling to Myers to back away as he slides into the ring, mic still in hand;
'You want it so bad huh? What, did your daddy not discipline you enough before he popped his clogs as you Brits say? Huh?'
Myers then lands a headbutt to the face of DiStoner, busting DiStoner open and unloads with lefts and rights, sending DiStoner into the corner as he stomps a mudhole straight into DiStoner's sternum, referees and officials charging down to the ring to break up the brawl that has ensued. As they do their best to restrain Myers, Dan is sat in the corner and grabs the mic, regaining his composure before he speaks;
'Y'know what, I'll let you off with that one. I'll face your sorry ass right now if you want it so bad! Bring it on ya Lil' Annie Orphan motherfucker!'
As refs continue to hold Myers back, he begins to calm down and quickly agrees to the match, sliding into the ring, but before the match can go ahead, DiStoner grabs the mic once more;
'Get 'im boys!'
Kevin Deene and Anthony Phoenix then make their way through the crowd, punking out a few of the refs and officials before getting into the ring, throwing the ref who was due to officiate the match over the top rope and crashing to the floor, both have steel chairs in hand as Deene lands a chair shot to the spine of Myers. Phoenix then follows up with a shot to the knee of Myers and both wail on him with chair shot after chair shot. DiStoner, laughing maniacally at this point then gets to his feet with the aide of Deene and Phoenix before getting on the mic again;
'This ain't good enough for me. I had a feeling this piece of rubbish would try to start some shit after what went down at the PPV. Phoenix, do me the honour of grabbing the special chair from under the ring, and Deene, be a babe and get the special baseball bat from under the ring'
Both Deene and Phoenix exit the ring, lift up the ring apron and retrieve the special weapons, each have a name written on them, Nancy on the bat and Ralph on the chair, as they slide back in the ring and Dan gets on the mic as Myers grabs the bottom rope in an attempt to get back to his feet;
'It's a big ol' family reunion out here, your momma and daddy's names on my weapons. I did this just for you, 'Cause soon enough, you'll either be reunited with 'em, or you'll wish you were dead!'
DiStoner throws the mic down, grabbing the chair from Phoenix and driving it into the gut of Myers, throwing it down and then grabbing the bat from Deene, slamming it straight off the skull of Myers as he falls to the ground, blood pours from his forehead. Before Dan and company can exit the ring, Myers shows vague signs of life, Dan looks at them both and says to them, 'This shithead won't quit will he? I got me an idea!', Dan then points to the 4 pack of Bud he brought out with him, and orders Phoenix and Deene to lift Myers feet first onto the top rope, Dan cracking open a cold one before yelling ''NO REMORSE'' and lands an Impaler DDT from the top rope on Myers, Dan then pours the beer out all over Myers as Deene grabs the three other Bud's that are left and hand them out, Dan then grabs the mic;
'A toast, to Jason Myers! You left wresltling once for a quiet life, and now I can officially declare that at my hand, you're now permanently done in the ring!'
The trio then crack their cans open, guzzling down the Bud's before pouring out the remains over Myers as ''Won't Get Fooled Again'' plays, officials then make their way to the ring to help Myers and the officials that Deene and Phoenix took out as we cut to a commercial break.

A locker room door flies open and Thomas Stone walks through it confidently after his win against Jason Myers. The camera pans around to show that we’ve been watching a reflection and catches Stone’s gaze on a Manila folder which is stuck to the mirror, by Sellotape.
Stone: What the...
He looks around the locker room swiftly before ripping the folder off of the mirror and opening it, continuing to look around as he pulls the contents out. He scans the first of several documents and reads out loud at first
Stone: Hi, Thomas...
He reads the rest of the page under his breath, mouthing words slowly, stopping to look around again, before shuffling through to the next, then the one after and so on until he’s finished looking through the lot.
A look of complete indifference covers his face as he leans against the desk looking back into the mirror and the camera focuses once again on his reflection before cutting back to ringside
Mike Fisher: I wonder what that was all about?!
Scott James: I have no idea!
Round 1 of the IIW International Title Tournament

Tyler Debonair vs Curtis
Round 1 of the IIW International Title Tournament
*The lights in the arena go out as "Mad World" by Gary Jules begins to echo throughout the arena...*
Melanie Mike Fisher: Introducing first, from Los Angeles, CA and weighing in at 275lbs, this is The Alchemist, TYLER DEBONAIR!
*Tyler Debonair walks out from behind the curtain and just stands there, soaking up both the boos and cheers from the crowd, as the piano melody of the song continues to resonate. He slowly makes his way down the aisle, his facepaint glowing in the dark.
Once he reaches the apron, he slides in under the bottom rope and stays on his stomach all the way to the ropes, before pulling himself halfway up and then staying there, head poking through the middle ropes, tongue out and awaiting the match to start.*
Scott James: This match should certainly be a good one.
Mike Fisher: These are two great athletes and tonight two plus two equals one. One amazing match.
*"Faith" by Limp Bizkit as Curtis steps out onto the ramp wearing a red and white hoody that says #1 Son on the back of it.*
Melanie Mike Fisher: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from Manchester in the United Kingdom, and weighing in at 262lbs, this is CURTIS!
*Curtis raises his arms as fireworks shoot up from the ramp, before heading to the ring, as he dives under the bottom ropes, into the ring and poses to the mixed reaction of the crowd.*
Scott James: Curtis, the son of legendary Johnny C will be looking to impress his father and the IIW fans here tonight.
Mike Fisher: He’s got a tough row to hoe against Tyler Debonair to do it though.
*The bell sounds and Curtis and Debonair meet in the middle of the ring with a collar and elbow lock up. The two jockey for position, but Curtis is able to slide by Debonair and go behind with a waist lock. Debonair reacts quickly though and hits a standing switch, reversing Curtis into a waist lock of his own, but then lifts Curtis up and takes him down to his face. Debonair then spins around grabbing a front facelock on Curtis. Curtis quickly counter, sitting out and catching Debonair’s arm in an arm bar.
Debonair works up to his feet, shoving Curtis’s face with his free hand trying to loosen the hold. Suddenly, Debonair snaps his body and arm drags Curtis, breaking the arm bar. Both men are quick to their feet. Both men charge one another and Curtis catches Debonair with an arm drag.

Curtis and Debonair scramble up and both go for dropkicks at the same time. Both men come up again but this time stop to collect their selves to a round of applause from the crowd.*
Scott James: Both men showing great technical abilities early in this match.
Mike Fisher: Both are sound technical wrestlers, but will the power of Curtis, or the high flying of Debonair give them the upper hand?
*The two men go to lock up again, but Debonair quickly grabs Curtis in a headlock. After a moment Curtis grabs Debonair in a waist lock and runs him into the ropes and then shoots him off across the ring. Debonair bounces off the rope and nails Curtis with a shoulder tackle that drops Curtis. Debonair charges off the ropes but Curtis flips over trying to trip Debonair, but Debonair floats over and charges off the ropes. Curtis pops up and goes for a back drop but Debonair stops in his tracks and up kicks Curtis.
Curtis clutches his face and Debonair quickly grabs another headlock Curtis uses his power, lifting Debonair up and charges him towards the ropes, but Debonair grabs the top rope and flips Curtis over the top rope to the outside with a headlock take over.*
Scott James: What a move by Tyler Debonair, just taking Cutis over the top rope with the headlock take over.
Mike Fisher: Now they are on the outside and things could get real interesting.
*Debonair is on his feet on the apron and as Curtis gets to his feet Debonair jumps to the middle rope and springboards off with a moonsualt, but Curtis shows great strength catching Debonair across his shoulder. Curtis charges with Debonair on his shoulder and throws Debonair face first into the ring post. Debonair hits the post and slumps to the ground as Curtis rolls back into the ring collecting himself.*
Scott James: Tyler Debonair may be unconscious.
Mike Fisher: Debonair went for a high risk move and paid a high price for it.
*Debonair begins pulling himself up onto the ring apron as the referee had begun counting him out. Curtis moves in as Debonair gets to the apron and Debonair fires a shoulder block through the top and middle rope that catches Curtis in the stomach doubling him over. Debonair sling shots over the top rope going for a sunset flip, but Curtis stands up and catches Debonair around the ankles to keep him from taking Curtis over. Debonair acts quickly though pushing his body up and then snapping it down and take Curtis over with a Code Red for a pin attempt.*

Scott James: What a move by Tyler Debonair.

*Both men get to their feet and Debonair goes for a boot but Curtis catches it and spins Debonair around and quickly grabs him in a waist lock and hits him with a German suplex. Debonair lands high and hard and comes up on his feet but is clearly out of it as he staggers right into a V2.0 (codebreaker) from Curtis. Curtis hooks Debonair for a pin.*

Kickout.
Scott James: I thought Curtis was going to get him there.
Mike Fisher: Debonair was looking out of it, but still had enough in him to kick out.
*Curtis is in shock that he didn’t put Debonair away, but gets to his feet and grabs Debonair by the head and pulls him up. Curtis shoots Debonair into the ropes and as he comes off Curtis catches Debonair and throws him into the air going for his pop up powerbomb, but Debonair counters with a hurriconrana.
Curtis pulls himself up by the ropes as Debonair staggers to his feet. Debonair charges at Curtis and Curtis catches him with a back body drop over the top rope, but Debonair lands on his feet on the apron. Curtis spins around right into hard forearm from Debonair. Curtis staggers back and Debonair moves to the turnbuckle and climbs to the top rope.
Debonair leaps off the top rope but Curtis dives underneath him to the mat. At the last second Debonair tucks and rolls and pops up to his feet. Debonair turns and charges at Curtis as Curtis charges as well and the two men collide with a double clotheslines.*
Scott James: DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE AND BOTH ME ARE DOWN!
Mike Fisher: I think whoever gets to their feet first might just take this one.
*Both men slowly get to their feet and Curtis goes for a big right, but Debonair ducks and hands a right of his own that staggers Curtis. Debonair goes for another right, but Curtis blocks and hammers a right of his own. Debonair staggers and Curtis grabs him and shoots him into the corner, but Debonair runs up the turn buckles and hits a tumble weed splash onto Curtis.
Debonair gets to his feet and is feeling the energy of the crowd and points to the turnbuckle and the crowd begins cheering loudly. Debonair climbs to the top turnbuckle, but as he does Curtis staggers to his feet.
Curtis bounces against the rope knocking Tyler Debonair off the ropes, bouncing back to lean against the ropes. Curtis looks down at Tyler on the floor, as he does the crowd begin to react
Jonny C has made his way out to the entrance and is storming down to the ring with a chair in hand, slides it into the ring and points to it as Curtis looks on confused at Jonny, Curtis picks up the chair and slides it back out of the ring shaking his head… Jonny angrily picks the chair back up and throws it back in
Curtis: WHAT ARE YOU DOING DAD?
Curtis walks towards Jonny, but as he’s distracted Tyler is back up, he spins round Curtis…TRANSFIGURATION!.... He drapes himself over Curtis

Mike Fisher: What an intense display of athleticism from both men tonight! Probably one of our best matches so far, with only the main event left, Scott!

Everything once again goes dark for a short while, before the arena lights slowly begin to come up and we realise the ring is completely empty, void of everything including Tyler Debonair!
Mike Fisher: Wait, what is going on?! Where is Tyler?!
Scott James: It’s as if he’s just disappeared into thin air! What was that countdown about as well?!?
Mike Fisher: I really don’t like the look of this Scott!

Key 2 Success Shoot Out
Russell Wayne vs Scotty Adams
vs
These 2 Men were the Key Victors in the Key2Success match, This match here will determine who gets the first opportunity to Unlock their Key and make their first move on an IIW Championship of their choice.
The lights go out as South Texas Deathride by Union Underground begins to play. As the intro goes on fog starts rolling out and strobe lights start going faster and faster. When the crescendo hits Russell comes out to a pop from the crowd. He walks down the ramp ignoring his fans as his focus lies solely on his opponent. He climbs up the ring steps, not taking his eyes off of his opponent. He enters the ring through the middle rope and raises his arms in the air, the crowd now boo him mercilessly
Mike Fisher: They’re not a fan of Russell Wayne after last weeks actions!
'Pure Evil' can be heard blasting out of the PA system, as the lights dim, save for a hazy maroon spotlight that shines on a currently empty stage, before a silhouette can be made out of a male figure, standing just behind the spotlight with his hands extended out in a cross formation, before the spotlight expands to reveal that the figure is wearing a black 'Adidas' hoodie (with the hood up, concealing his identity at this time), Maroon/Purple/Gold wrestling rights and black/blue 'Asic' sneakers Raising his right hand, the figure slowly pushes the hood off, revealing that it is none other than Scotty Adams.
Slightly smirking, he begins to make his way down the ramp as the lights return to their normal radiance, each step with a swagger about it that to some, could very well border on arrogance --- to others, it is just another exhibit of the belief, the confidence that exudes itself from Scotty, born from a meticulous attention to detail he has. Running his hands down his body, he once again extends them out into a cross, only this time he ac complies it with a quick flick of the wrists once he reaches full extension and pauses to allow the crowd a moment to let everything sink in.
Walking around the ring, he slowly takes his jumper off; handing it to one of the attendants at ringside, before making his way up the steel steps in the near right hand side corner and smirking as he glances out to the crowd once more, before stepping between the middle and top rope; turning his full attention and focus to the task at hand.
Both men center the ring and lock up in a grapple. Russell places Scotty in a side headlock and begins squeezing the oxygen from his brain. Scotty Adams pushes Russell away and sends him towards the ropes. Russell comes back and goes for a big boot but Scotty ducks the attempt. Scotty Adams rolls behind Wayne and sends him crashing to the mat with a sharp kick to the back of his head. Scotty goes for an elbow drop but Russell rolls out of the way. Now on his feet Russell lights Scotty Adams up with an open handed chop across the chest. Scotty returns the favour with a right hook to the jaw of the big man. Russell retaliates with a kick to the gut of Scotty followed by a snap suplex. Russell goes for an elbow drop and slams his arm into the chest of Scotty Adams. He drops down to one knee and places Scotty in a rear chin lock. He keeps a tight grip on the move as the referee drops to the mat to check on Scotty Adams. A few seconds later Scotty Adams starts to regain his energy and he begins climbing back to his feet. He slams his elbow into the gut of Russell causing him to break the hold.
Mike Fisher:"Big elbow from Scotty Adams!"
Scotty kicks Russell in the gut and positions him for a power bomb. Wayne easily counters the move with a back body drop sending Scotty Adams crashing to the canvas. Russell turns around and goes for a stomp but Scotty rolls out of the way. He jumps to his feet and attempts a running super kick but Wayne dodges the attack. He spins Scotty around and sends him to the ropes. When Scotty comes back Russell lifts him up into a tilt-a-whirl and prepares to send Scotty Adams across his knee. Out of nowhere, Scotty reverses the move into a 360 DDT and he drives Russell’s head into the canvas. Scotty drops to one knee and he applies a sleeper hold on the big man. Russell is quick to struggle against the hold as he begins moving back to his feet. He shoves Scotty Adams away and sends him crashing to the mat with a charging clothesline. Russell stomps on Scotty a few times and moves to the outside of the ring. He takes a few seconds to take a breather while walking around the ring. Meanwhile, Scotty Adams is able to make it back to his feet by using the ropes for leverage. He spots Russell speaking with a few of the audience members and he grows a smile on his face. Scotty moves back a few feet and begins running towards the ropes at full speed. He leaps onto the top rope and bounces off performing a starlight twist in mid air as he crashes on top of Russell Wayne.
Mike Fisher:"WOW! Look at the height on that!"
Scott James:"I've seen better.."
As both men lie motionless on the concrete floor the fans begin to applaud their performance. Wayne is the first one up as he reaches down and grabs a handful of Scotty Adams’s hair. He drags Scotty to his feet and lifts him up into a press. Russell screams out towards the crowd and carelessly dumps Scotty Adams over the barricade so he lands directly on top of the IIW audience. Wayne climbs over the security railing and pulls Scotty away from the crowd by the back of his neck. Scotty Adams kicks Wayne in the gut and pulls him in with a front face lock. He signals for a DDT on the concrete floor but Russell is able to slip out of Scotty’s grip at the last second. He lights him up with a hard chop across the chest sending an echoing “SMACK” sound throughout the ringside area. He pulls Scotty in with a whip and sends him crashing to the floor with a devastating short arm clothesline.
Russell tosses Scotty back into the ring and slides in under the bottom rope on the count of nine. Wayne is the first man to make it to his feet as he rushes towards Scotty and drops him with a kick to the side of the head. He drags Scotty back to his feet and when Scotty makes an attempt to shove the big man away, Wayne sends Scotty flying across the ring with a huge suplex. Scotty Adams’s body bounces off of the canvas like a rubber ball. Russell approaches Scotty and drags him back to his feet. He whips Scotty Adams to the ropes and when Scotty comes back to Wayne he sends the high flier crashing to the canvas with a heart stopping power slam. He drags Scotty Adams back up and whips him into one of the corners. Russell charges the corner and causes Scotty’s spine to collide against the turnbuckles with a hard clothesline. Russell steps back a few inches and clenches his fist. While Scotty rests in the corner Wayne lunches at him with a stinger esque splash, as Scotty bounces out of it Russell grabs him and lifts him up
Mike Fisher: This could be the end!
Scott James: Good!
Russell Wayne delivers the LAST RESORT!!!!!...NO HE DOESN’T ITS REVERSED!!!!
Scotty James DELIVERS SHATTERED FAITH!!!!

'The End of Heartache' by Killswitch Engaged hits as the new IIW World Champion Jake E Dangerously steps out on the stage. The people in attendance erupt and sing along with his music.
SEEK ME, CALL ME
I'LL BE WAITING
He takes a moment to take in the sight of the IIW singing along to his entrance theme.
SEEK ME, CALL ME
I'LL BE WAITING
He starts down the ramp making his way to the ring, climbing the steps to take in the sight, before stepping into the ring to join Michael Morrison who is already there.
Michael Morrison – Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce to you, once again YOUR IIW World Heavyweight Champion.... JAKE E DANGEROUSLYYYYY!!!!
He holds up the title as the people cheer.
Michael Morrison – It's taken more than 13 years, but you've climbed back to the top of the IIW by knocking off your long time rival, the man that took the title from you in the first place, Jonny C, so with that win, what's next for Jake E Dangerously?
Jake E – It was a long climb back up that mountain, but as long as I was setting into a wrestling ring this was inevitable. It took 13 years to get this back in my possession because I was kept away from it, but now it's back where it belongs. As to your question, what's next is proving that I'm still the best in this ring and IIW is the best in the world. I didn't get to be the greatest champion in IIW history by sitting back and hiding from challengers...
Before he can continue 'Killing in the Name Of'' by Rage Against the Machine hits and out comes Bob Mitchell along with Blade Alexander, The Commander, and Melissa Mitchell. Bob is grinning ear to ear as they make their way down to the ring. The circle around and Bob grabs a microphone before they all make their way into the ring.
Bob Mitchell – Now I'm not out here to interrupt you or start something, but let me just say that title looks great back where it belongs!
Jake E goes to respond but before he can Bob cuts him off again.
Bob Mitchell – No, no... You don't have to thank me! After all, the reason you are the World Heavyweight Champion again is because I made your match at KKND for the title, so in a way, I'm responsible for you being the champion again. It's what the people wanted.
Jake E – Is there a point to all this Mitchell? You need these 3 to tell me that?
Bob Mitchell – Of course not, don't mind these 3, they aren't here for you. Not tonight anyway. Sure, in time both The Commander and Blade Alexander will be coming for THAT...
He points to the World Heavyweight Championship.
Bob Mitchell – But for tonight they're out here because, let's face it, we've been working for a maniac and you never know what he's going to do at any given minute. Osh Vaughn has been accused of a lot of things, but being sane isn't one of them. These three are out here for my personal protection.
Jake E – Get to the point Bob.
Bob Mitchell – Right... Well that's the thing, you've had your own issues with Osh Vaughan. Admit it, he's never liked the idea of having you as Champion, and he's the reason it took you so long to get that title back. You have issues with Osh, I have issues with Osh. I'm looking to put together a team for World's Collide to take him down, he's a common enemy and you'd be the perfect team captain, what do you say?
Jake E Dangerously begins to speak...but before he can...CANDY SHOP - 50 Cent begins to play.... and out strolls IIW Owner Osh Vaughan
Osh Vaughan - Jake E Dangerously.... Before you say a word...Just think... Just think about all we've been through, don't worry about seeing right or wrong, you know that I've always made the right decisions for the business... Look at you... look at you standing there with the IIW World Title... I made that happen, sure Bob Mitchell called the match... You know the score.. We've not always seen eye to eye, but.... You kniow.. Osh always suceeds.. this is why I know as the smart man you are Jake E Dangerously.... You will make the right decision and join Team Osh!
Zack Steele and Jay Vaughan walk out behind Osh Vaughan.... They stand tall as they stare down Blade and The Commander....
Jake E Dangerously smirks as he looks at both options
Jake E Dangerously - If there is one thing you know...It's that Jake E Dangerously isn't on anyone's team, he's done this on his own and he will continue this way... now if you guys want to get involved... you go ahead!!
Jake E Dangerously slides out of the ring and jumps through the crowd as Jay and Zack make their way down to the ring... They square off with Blade and Commander, they exchange blows as Blade and The Commander start to get the upper hand, they send Zack Steele over the ring and grab Jay vaughan, they set him up and nail him with a DOUBLE POWERBOMB... suddenly though.... Out rushes JONNY C
Mike Fsher: ITS JONNY C!!!!
Scott James: But whose side is he on?
Mike Fisher: That's such a cliche Scott!
Jonny rushes down Steel Chair in hand as he slides into the ring staring against The Commander and Blade....
He looks at the hard camera and shrugs...then SMASH..... HE NAILS Blade with the Chair who drops straight to the floor... The Commander stares at Jonny... he eventually rolls out of the ring grabbing Blade on the way...
He hoists up Blade and retreats with Bob Mitchell as Jonny C stands tall in the ring as we exit Mayhem!
