Combat 4/7/23
The show opens up with several quick images from the Theater of War pay Per view clips of the Tex joining the court, Hamilton, Raines, Beckett Marisol and others flashing quickly still shots of all the action and finally ending on a Image of PG-13 Holding up the Global Championship at the end of the night. As the shot of PG fades we are looking at the live Crowd with ‘War Pigs’ blasting in the background. The camera pans the audience a bit before settling ringside with Arthur Glass and Alexander Higgins.
Higgins: Ladies and Gentlemen I am Alexander Higgins! This is my partner in Crime the great Arthur B. Glass!
Arthur takes a little bow as Higgins Continues
Higgins: And we are fresh off the heels of Theater of War and boy what an event that was!
Glass: Our first Pay Per View event did not fail us! Titles changed hands, alliances shifted and blood was spilled but with that in our rearview mirror I am super excited to see what direction we start tonight.
Higgins: Well we do have a stacked card that…
Brotherhood End
(featuring PG-13, Crush)
Higgins is interrupted as # HERO # hits as the IIW Global Champion, PG-13, makes his way out from the back with Michael Hill by his side. PG-13 holds up the Global Championship as pyro goes off around him. PG continues down the ramp with a big smiles. He gets into the ring and gets a Mic.
PG-13: I told you.. I Told you ALL.. I said I would walk out of last week’s show with the Global Championship and that is EXACTLY what I did.. My brother and Caleb Scott were never any match for The BEAST just like nobody else in this damn company or ECE is a match for ME.. It shouldn’t even be a question at this point. Aaron, I know you’re kind of struggling.. Putting in work in two companies.. But sooner or later you are going to have to admit defeat. Admit that I AM the better brother. No matter how i have to do it…I will take EVERYTH…..
Suddenly # KINGDOM # hits as the crowd erupts.. The ECE World Heavyweight Champion, Crush makes his way out with his ECE World Title along with Jessica Huttman. CRUSH walks down to the ring, which is occupied by PG-13 and Michael Hill.
PG-13: What in the HELL Are you doin out here?!
CRUSH continues down the ramp and then gets into the ring. He is also handed a microphone.
PG-13: Look Aaron…You’re making a huge mistake getting in this ri..
Crush: Brother.. For Once in your life Would you PLEASE Shut…The HELL…UP!…
Huge pop from the crowd.
Crush: Ya see Mike…I should be standing here today as the IIW Global Champion..The fact that you are is proof that God has a sense of humor. I was banged up from my Leap of Faith Title match with TJ Alexander.. I took my eye off the ball and I paid for it.. However, that mistake will never happen again…
The crowd pops as PG-13 looks pissed off.. He lunges toward Crush but Michael Hill steps in and backs him off.
Crush: Ya hear that Mike..No matter how HARD you try..No Matter who you throw My Way..That GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP Belongs to The King of Extreme..It is MY Destiny and I will not stop until I have it.. You’ve always been second best..Through out our whole childhood..I was the one who brought you into this business.. Before that, you were working at a body shop off of I95 making pennies on the dollar..Yet, you could never accept that I was just better at this shit than you.
The Crowd Pops for CRUSH as PG gets angry. Crush adjusts his ECE World Title before continuing.
Crush: That’s why you broke my neck three years ago and forced me into retirement..You were tired of living in my shadow. I’m the one with 20 World Titles.. ME! And #21 is coming soon enough. We maybe finished in ECE but this is IIW and I am not finished here until you are gone for good. I want that Global Title…And I’m gonna get it.
The arena goes nuts. Crush stares a hole through PG as PG looks like he could blow a gasket.. Finally, PG breaks his silence|¤|
PG-13: No No No AARON..ya see..I see you week after week run your mouth..You were NEVER better than Me in this ring.. You were just better than me at kissing people’s ass to get where you needed to be.. Well that ain’t gonna work here because I Run this damn show. I’M the Global Champion.. Therefore, I call the shots and you ain’t getting shit.
Crush: We’ll see about that, brother. I don’t care who I have to go through or what I have to do.. I’m going to get another shot at that Global Championship and when I do? When it’s just Me and You? I’ll show you why you’re not better than me. You don’t run anything around here, Mike. The only thing you run is away every time I get close. There’s no Enterprise here.. No BMFs… No Dynasty.. Just Me and You and as God as my witness, your ass is mine.
PG-13: It’s funny you say that Aaron because earlier today I had an interesting phone call with Combat management. No, you’re not getting a shot at my Global Championship. However, you do have a match tonight against a man you are quite familiar with considering you two just tore each other apart last month.. I’m talking about TJ Alexander.. There’s gonna be a slight twist this time, though..Because there is going to be a special guest referee.. Somebody who will call it right down the middle. That referee just happens to be….Me. So, goodluck tonight brother.. You should probably leave Jess in the back. I’d hate for her to get kidnapped….Again.
The crowd boos as PG-13 smirks. PG and Michael Hill start laughing as Crush just drops his mic. Crush and PG just stare at each other.. Crush lunges toward PG and goes for a Bone Crusher but PG pulls Michael Hill in front of him and Crush flattens Michael Hill with a BONE CRUSHER! Jesus Christ! PG-13 rolls out of the ring. PG sacrificed his agent. PG looks in the ring and holds up his Global Title as Crush looks pissed. He holds up his ECE World Title as # KINGDOM # hits again. PG-13 and Crush continue to jaw back and forth.
Higgins: Well looks like our Main event tonight just got even more interesting with the interjection of our new Global Champion PG-13 has the special guest referee.
Glass: Speaking of Global Champs, our Former champ has just arrived in the building let’s what he may have to say.
The Trial..
(featuring Caleb Scott, Jack Tyde)
The view switches to the back as we see FORMER FNC Global Champion Caleb Scott walking down the hall as he enters the arena, his duffle bag still across his shoulder and an angry look across his stone cold face. As he marches with purpose he is distracted by the sounds of applause coming from off screen. He turns towards the sound and the camera follows him as we see Jack Tyde standing in the corner, leaning against the wall clapping. He stops and smirks as he speaks.
Tyde: There he is the Global Cham….
He pauses and shakes his head.
Tyde: No you, you lost that right? Still though, the Champion of the Purg…
He rubs his beard pausing again as he finally stands up off the wall.
Tyde: Actually mate, I haven’t seen those creepy fellas hiding in the shadows lately either. Maybe Kalvin really did extinguish that little problem.
He walks over getting closer to Caleb.
Tyde: Still though the Granite City Sadist himself, the dark, dangerous…
He paused and smirks in Caleb’s face.
Tyde: Actually as I look in those eyes of yours I don’t see that same anger, that hunger, that darkness I once did. There was a time when I respected you, counted you amongst the few equals on the roster. Now, honestly I pity you.
Scott: I don’t need the Purge to deal with…
As he starts the sound of footsteps are heard and we can see Tex Attwater, and both Benjamin & Edward Hamilton appear from the shadows and circle Caleb. Making him hesitate as he is drastically outnumbered.
Tyde: It’s ok Caleb, you see the Trail of Tex Attwater has finally concluded. He was judged worthy to stand amongst his peers and deliver penance on those deemed unworthy by the Nightmare Court. Maybe it is time however for a new trail, a Trail of a fallen prince of shadows. Maybe it is time to see if we can help you release the darkness again. I believe there is hope for you yet, and if not the Nightmare Court will gladly make sure you put out your misery.
He reaches out to put his hand on the shoulder of Caleb who knocks it away.
Tyde: Court is now in Session, see you around Matey.
Venomous Words
(featuring Xavier Lux)
The view switches to deeper In the locker room area, Ally Anderson is standing by with one of IIW’s newest signees, Xavier Lux. Xavier is already decked out in his wrestling gear and appears very much ready to go.
Ally Anderson: I am standing here with the man who claims to have “venom in his veins”, Xavier Lux, who just a few days ago made his return to IIW after taking part at the Ice Crown Rumble last year. At the Theater of War pay-per-view, he had a successful re-debut per say, defeating El Landerson. Tonight, he faces off against fan-favorite, Texaco Attwater. Xavier, first of all, welcome to IIW and Friday Night Combat!
Xavier Lux: Thank you Ally, I’m very happy to not only be back in IIW, but to make Combat my home for a very long time to come…
Ally: I’m sure the IIW fans are very happy to hear that. What do you think of your opponent tonight, and really the Combat roster overall?
Xavier: The fans huh? I’m going to play nice, seeing as how this is my first interview… Look there is a lot of great talent here, I wouldn’t have come to Combat if I didn’t think I would be tested inside that square circle. I can’t wait to face them all honestly, and it all continues with Tex tonight. He is a great wrestler from his matches I’ve studied this past week, but clearly, he is a man who is lacking focus right now as he has way too many personal problems both in and outside of the ring to focus not only in this match tonight, but in his career, period.
Ally: and what about you Xavier?
Xavier: What about me? Do I have any issues? Of course, just like everyone else… The only difference with me is that I left all of that behind the minute I signed on the dotted line of that IIW contract. My past is my past and I can only worry about the here and now, the present. When I enter the ring, nothing else matters but beating my opponent across from me. Whether is Tex, or anyone else our great Comish Kal puts in front of me.
Ally: What are your goals here in Combat, and I guess IIW as a whole? Do you ever see yourself making the jump to Mayhem?
Xavier: I think what everyone needs to understand that I am not here for the glitz and glamour or even the money. I have more than I need, and I’ve never been about that life… The goals are simple, compete, compete, and then compete some more. I know I’ve only signed for 2023 but in what remains of the year I want to be able to leave a mark in Combat and IIW as a whole. Will I ever make the jump to Mayhem? Who knows, I have a lot of friends over there… Shout out to Fred and J-Mont to name a few… But the immediate goal is here in Combat and it is quite simple, break through the top 10 power-rankings. Once I do that, just work my way to the top and whatever title opportunities come my way I will take them.
Ally: Speaking of titles, I think it has been covered at length that this is the longest you have gone without a championship win?
Xavier: Yeah, I will admit that 2022 kicked my ass pretty good and even though I had a handful of opportunities to win championships, I came up short each time. I think the last time I won singles gold was in October of 2021, so yeah, it’s quite a draught but it is one that I plan to end here in Combat. I guarantee you that.
Ally: Well that’s all the time we have, any last words?
Xavier: Tex, what happens tonight inside that ring is nothing personal, it’s all about moving up the ladder and right now, you are simply just the next rung I must step on… on my way to the top.
Ally: Thank you Xavier, really looking forward to that match tonight… Back to you guys at ringside.
The camera switches back to ring where we see Skylar Payten already in the ring as the opening bout is ready to begin.
Charity: Our next bout is one fall, first Skylar Payten!!
Skylar raises her hand and gets a small cheer as charity continues.
Charity: Her opponent for the evening, From Brooklyn New York, Jasmine RAYE!!
Her music hits and the fans let out a big pop as she comes down giving high fives to all the fans along the way, she slides in the ring but as she does Skylar quickly runs over and stomps on her while she is down. The ref signals for the bell and the match is officially underway.
***Ding, Ding***
Higgins: This is the Combat Debut for Jasmine Raye but she is a established star for IIW and even lays claim to a Women’s title shot.
Glass: Before the title became Combat exclusive she was lined up to compete for the title on Keys to Success but due to a minor injury the match never seen the light of day, since then at Theater of War Latoya Hixx was named Women’s number one contender so there is a bit of conflict about who exactly is or should get the next title shot.
Higgins: I am sure Jasmine is looking to make a statement now but you can tell that our new comer Skylar is thinking the same thing as she takes this attack to Jasmine in the early moments.
Skylar jerks Raye to her feet and positions her for a powerbomb trying to do some serious damage early on she lifts up Jasmine but Jasmine fires a series of rights into the head of Skylar causing her to lose grip. Jasmine then hits a hurracarrana on Skylar sending her to the ground hard. Jasmine pops up and stands in the corner stalking Skylar as she start starts to get up dazed. Jasmine charges at her and nails the ‘Dusted’ (Claymore Kick) on Skylar sending her back down hard to the mat. She gives a little taunt as the fans cheer loudly.
Higgins: Despite the strong start by Skylar it seems Jasmine has this one under control already.
Glass: She is a proven commodity and she might just be a bit more than the new comer can handle in her first match.
Jasmine lifts Skylar to her feet and hooks her up for the ‘Gringa Killer’ (vertebreaker) slamming her down hard with the move and quickly making the pin attempt.
.1,
..2,
…3!!
***Ding, Ding***
Charity: Your winner by pin fall Jasmine Raye!!
Her music blast as she celebrates and makes the motion of a belt around her waist, the fans seem to be behind her cheering and chanting her name as the view slowly transitions to backstage.
All That is Holy
(featuring Cyrus Youngblood)
Inside Kal Dayspring’s office, one can see the man looking at his notes as he makes a couple calls here and there when suddenly a loud knock can be heard from the door. After a minute the knock turns to a large bang as Cyrus is seen barging into the office.
Cyrus: WHAT TYPE OF SHITSHOW ARE YA RUNNIN’ LAD?!? I WAS ABOUT TO PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT SIN NEVER PROSPERS OVER BEING A GOOD SAMARITAN AND THEN THAT BULLSHIT HAPPENS?!?
Kal: I get it, I really get it Cyrus… you got screwed out of your championship and I wish I could do something for you…
Cyrus: Then do something about it lad. You know better than any man that Hamilton needs to be put in his place. This isn’t bout the championship mate, all I want is to show the world that if it was a fair fight; I win fair and square! My winning streak was broken with an asterisk win and if Hamilton wants to prove that he’s above what is holy… then there should be no reason for him to not accept the rematch…
Kal: I don’t know… I’ll have to thi-
As Kal tried to finish his sentence, Cyrus slams his hands on his desk and just smiles.
Cyrus: I’ll be taking that as a yes… because you don’t want yet another person on this roster against you right?
Cyrus lightly slaps the left side of Kal’s face as he chuckled a bit.
Cyrus: I’ll be waiting for that approval lad… have a nice rest of your day.
Cyrus walks out of the office as Kal puts his hands on his face as he looks concerned pondering what his next move should be. The view this fades back to ringside as we se Charity Langston prepared for our next match.
Higgins: Well looks like Kalvin has things settled with this new emerging Women’s Division and Beckett has her hands full with two more than capable competitors already lined up for her.
Glass: Well ‘Daddy’ is more than capable of handling anything we toss at her. She has proved that, but these are some very exciting matches I am looking forward to.
Higgins: Speaking of matches I am looking forward too up next we have the newly tainted Tex Attwater as he prepares to take on one of Combats newest additions, the red hot Xavier Lux!
Glass: Lux managed a big win in his debut on Theater of War against Combat vet El Landerson while Tex decided to sell his soul to the Nightmare Court in what appears to be an effort to get his crazy ex girlfriend back.
The view switches as we can see the gorgeous Charity Langston in the ring.
Charity: Our next bout is scheduled for one fall, First coming to the ring from Los Angeles California, standing 6 foot 2 inches he is ‘Venom’ XAVIER LUX!!
The lights in the building start to flicker, matching the opening riffs and drums of Disturbed’s ‘The Infection’ which startles the crowd because of the song’s fast start. They get to their feet just as brief pyro explosion goes off in the entrance and as lyrics of the song begin, “Venom” Xavier Lux steps out from behind the smoke left by the pyro. He stands there sporting his finest black and green gear and a black CCPE T-shirt. He looks around at the crowd who give him a mix reaction, not knowing much of the “Man with Venom in his Veins”. He makes his way down the ramp, keeping his focus on the ring. Once he gets to ringside, he hops on the apron, wiping his boots, showing respect to the canvas where he is about to practice his craft. He then gets inside and makes his way to the corner, climbs to the second turnbuckle and again just looks around at the crowd who is still lukewarm on him. He takes off his CCPE T-shirt, and acknowledges a fan here and there before picking one whom he tosses the t-shirt too. Well that mark is now a fan, maybe Xavier is not that bad after all? The fan celebrates but fights off other fans who try to snatch the shirt away. He hops down as his music fades, the ref checks him and then gets ready for the match to start.
Charity: His opponent, Now Representing the Nightmare Court, he is the Texas Truthteller, TEX ATTWATER!!
The lights dim as ‘Cowboy’ blast and the fans begin to boo like crazy. Tex appears on the entrance ramp pausing as the pyro explodes 6 times on either side of him before he makes his way down the ramp and slides into the ring.
***Ding, Ding**
Higgins: Tex’s decision does not seem to be liked by the fans very much and they are letting him know it tonight.
Glass: I am all about doing whatever to help progress your career but honestly after the torture they put him through I have to question his decision aligning up with the Court.
The two men circle each other a bit as Tex signals for a test of might, Xavier appears to get ready to lock up with the much bigger man but as he gets closer he instead sends a quick kick to the ribs of Tex. This catches Tex off guard, but Xavier follows up with two more kicks to the ribs an when Tex stumbles backwards Xavier quickly bounces off the ropes and hits a swinging neck breaker on the bigger man. Xavier then bounces off the ropes and hits a elbow drop to the downed big man then quickly hooking a leg and go for a pin. Before the ref can even get in position Tex muscles Xavier off him tossing him up into the air. Tex goes to get on his feet but Xavier bounces off the ropes again and attempts to jump at him, Tex catches him mid air however and slams him hard into the mat. That causes the entire ring to shake a bit from impact.
Higgins: And there is the size advantage already coming up. Tex is a much bigger man who knows how to use his power, Xavier is smart and will work around it as best he can but some times you just can’t deny strength and power like that.
Glass: Xavier is smart, fast and will be able to work around Tex’s physical advantage. What will be more of a threat is the unstable and unpredictable nature of Tex now that the Nightmare Court has twisted his mind.
Tex lifts Xavier to his feet and Irish whips him against the ropes, as Xavier bounces off he gets hit with a Big boot and sent back down to the mat hard. Tex lifts him back to his feet grabbing him in position for a pump handle hitting his signature ‘Getty Up’ (pumphandle slam) and going for the quick cover afterwards.
.1,
.. Kick Out!
Tex grabs Xavier by the head and begins to slam it back and fourth on mat. Tex grabs the smaller man up and Irish whips him hard into the turnbuckle. Tex then charges at him with a corner clothesline hitting him hard, Tex then back ups and hits another one, then a third before Xavier staggers forward and falls face first into the mat. Tex goes over and make a pinning attempt again.
.1,
.. Kick out!
Tex grabs ahold of Xavier in a headlock but Xavier still has some fight in him as he begins to stand up. As he does Tex tries to position for a sleeper but Xavier grabs the arm of Tex and snaps it across his shoulder to break the hold. Xavier then quickly moves behind Tex trying to grab him in a waist lock but Tex is able to fight him and he switches behind him instead picking him up and attempting a back body drop but Xavier is aware enough to flip over and land on his feet. Tex turns to face Xavier but Xavier rushes him, Tex attempts to hoist him in the air and hit a European uppercut but as Xavier comes down he grabs the arm blocking and instead is able to turn it into a back slide pinning attempt.
.1,
.. Kick out!
Higgins: Tex was controlling this with his power as you can see when he starts trying to go move for move with Xavier he is slowly losing control.
Glass: Tex is not a technician by no stretch of the imagination but he is better than most give him credit for. Still he doesn’t want to try to match pure ring skills with Xavier, not only is it out of his wheel house but he’s not making use of his tremendous size and power advantage as much as he could be.
As the pin is broken the two spring up to their feet and rush each other, Tex gets the advantage with a clothesline that staggers Xavier. He then gives a few chops to the chest before following up with some stiff lefts, after two however Xavier blocks one of the punches and fires back with a quick kick to the ribs dazing catching Tex off guard, Xavier then quickly follows with a spinning back elbow staggering Tex even more finally he finishes it off with hitting a Pele Kick on Tex sending him down to the mat. As Xavier gets to his feet Tex is able to stagger up to his as well. The two pause as they look at each other face to face. Tex goes for a charge with an attempted clothesline, Xavier ducks however and grabs Tex from behind. He then pushes Tex forward into the rope and when Tex bounces off Xavier leap frogs him, Tex then bounces back and Xavier drops to his stomach where Tex steps over him and heads towards the other ropes. Xavier back to his feet his read and hits a gorgeous dropkick sending Tex down to the mat hard.
Glass: Xavier is speeding up this match and tacking control using his educated feet to wear down the big beast.
Higgins: This is how Xavier wins this, keeps up the pace, wear down Tex and finish him off with style.
Tex staggers up to one knee as Xavier rears back and hits a kick to the temple of Tex sending him back down to the mat. Xavier quickly goes again for the pin.
.1,
..2,
.. Kick Out!
You can see the frustration on his face as he argues with the ref. As he does Tex is able to pull himself back to his feet and when Lux turns around Tex grabs him and hits a spine buster on him sending him hard into the mat. From there you can see Tex signal as he grabs Xavier’s feet and begins to spin as he starts the ‘Last Rodeo’ (Big Spin), he continues to spin and despite his recent heel turn you can hear the fans get behind him as they count the rotations.
1.. 2 … 3… 4 …5 …6 …7 ..8 ..9 …10
After 10 full rotations he releases the move and sends Lux flying across the ring. He staggers a bit, a little dizzy himself as he takes a moment using the ropes to keep his balance. He then goes over to Lux and jerks him to his feet, hitting a big biel on him sending him flying into a corner. Once in the corner Tex sends a few stiff elbows into the side of Xavier’s head. He then goes to lift him onto the top turnbuckle, sending a few more stiff punches at the man as he climbs up with him and sits him up for a Super plex. Xavier however some how manages to fight back and the two exchanges punches on the top turnbuckle. After a few seconds Tex loses his footing and slips back onto the ground, Xavier takes this chance to grab him by the hair of the head and slam him face first into the top turnbuckle. From there Xavier flips hitting a top rope Code Red onto Tex and holding on for a pin attempt.
.1,
..2,
… Kick Out!
Higgins: That was so close! Xavier need to stay on him if he wants to end this and he needs to end this the longer it goes the more damage the big Tex can dish out.
Glass: It seems Tex over extended with that super plex attempt this is the perfect opening for Xavier!
Xavier drags up Tex and hits a hard Irish whip into the corner, Tex staggers out and Xavier hits ‘The Toxin’ (perfect dropkick) from there he quickly scoops the much bigger man up on his shoulders, and some how manages to hit ‘The Cure’ (Death Valley Driver) driving him hard into the mat and quickly going for the pin.

Charity: Your winner by Pinfall, Xavier Lux!!
Toxic Repercussions
(featuring Xavier Lux, Tex Attwatter, Jack Tyde)
Xavier looks down at Tex who is holding his head in pain, Xavier smirks and decides that he isn’t done just yet, it’s time to send a message. He mounts Tex and begins to pummel him with rights and lefts! The ref tries to get Xavier to stop, even grabbing him but Xavier pushes him off. Xavier then sits up Tex, runs to the ropes, bounces off and nails him with a vicious Pele kick!
Higgins: Okay that is completely uncalled for, you already beat the man, there is no need for this!
Glass: There is if you are trying to put the whole roster on notice!
The ref is on Xavier’s face, but he just brushes him off and exits the ring, the ref thinking he is leaving, goes to check on Tex who is completely out. Xavier starts to go up the ramp but then looks back, and smiles again and begins to shake his head as if to say ‘that’s not enough’. He walks around to the commentating team’s table and begins to clear everything on it!
Higgins: Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Glass: I think you and I need to get clear Alex, Lux has nothing but bad intentions in his mind!
Xavier winks at Glass as if he hit the nail right on the head. Xavier slides back inside the ring and once again pushes the ref out of the way. He picks up Tex and throws him over his shoulders into a fireman’s carry, and then walks towards the corner where he begins climbing the turnbuckle with Tex still on his shoulders!
Higgins: Oh my God I know what Xavier is thinking! He’s going to deliver his finisher to the outside!
Glass: He was banned from using that as his finisher as he put many wrestlers out of commission for a long time… If he does it here, Commissioner Kal may be forced to make a tough decision!
Higgins: There is no bullseye on this table Arthur, but this is exactly where he plans to plant Tex! We better beat it!
Glass: I told you!
Xavier is about to climb unto the top turnbuckle when the lights dim and turn red as fog slowly begins to roll out at the top of the entrance ramp. Xavier turns back and simply drops Tex off his shoulders and he flops down to the mat where the ref grabs him and pulls him out of harm’s way. Over the PA ‘Alestorm’ by Alestorm begins to blast and Jack Tyde comes out and rushes to the ring as Xavier hops down and gets ready to take him on. However, as Tyde slides inside the ring, Xavier quickly jumps out and simply laughs… Jack invites him to get his ‘ass’ back in the ring but Xavier has already gone around the ring and is making his way up the ramp, but facing Alex and telling him he was ‘this’ close to taking Tex out for good.
Higgins: Well I’m not that big of a fan of Jack Tyde, but I’m glad he came out to make the save on Tex, that could have been a career ender for him.
Glass: No doubt, but I’m more glad our table and our stuff are safe.
Higgins: Come on man!
As the lights come back to normal Jack goes to check on Tex as Xavier looks on, happy with the win, but clearly, not happy he was interrupted.
Women’s Contender
(featuring Jasmine Raye, Latoya Hixx)
The scene cuts to the back where we see Kalvin Dayspring standing in the back with Jasmine Raye, the two seem to be in the midst of a deep conversation.
Raye: Look I understand Latoya Hixx beat Shante’ on Theater of War but I WAS the number one contender before the title got brought over here, I DESERVE A TITLE SHOT. You should be able to tell Beckett is running from me.
Kalvin: I get it Jasmine, and the last thing I would want is to try to screw you..
As he says that the voice of one Latoya Hixx can be heard as she enters the scene.
Hixx: So you’re going to try to screw me? You better not Kalvin because I have been here on Combat since Day one! I earned my one on one shot with Beckett. You had better not give it to her, or even worse give me some sort of triple threat. I earned a shot with Becektt, one on one.
Raye: I want her one on one too, and you may have been on Combat first, but I was first in line for that title shot!
Kalvin: Ladies please..
Hixx: Who is it going to be Kalvin? Do the right thing.
Raye: Yeah who is it?
Kalvin: I have already got it all settled, if you would just let me talk. Latoya you have a per appearance deal with Miracle Galaxy Pro, an all women promotion in Japan that IIW does a lot of business with. Beckett has already defended her title there earlier this year against Junko Souma. So I worked out a deal, on the MGP “All-Belts Spectacular’ IIW had already agreed to have our women’s champion defend the title once again. So on April 30 at Miracle Galaxy Pro ‘Approaching the Golden Horizon: All-Belts Spectacular Let’s Go!’ Beckett Marisol will be in action with the FNC Women’s title on the line against Latoya Hixx!
You can hear the fans from the arena let out a cheer, as he continues.
Kalvin: Then 5 days later, at FNC’s Riot Act the winner of that match will defend against none other than Jasmine Raye. That gives both of you a one on one match for the title on a big stage that you both deserve. Good Luck!
The two women stare at each other at the news as they both smile knowing that it could very well be Hixx vs Raye for the title at Riot Act.
Raye: Yea, I’m ok with that.
Hixx: Me too, See you at Riot Act..
The two women exit in different directions leaving Kalvin Dayspring alone looking a bit less stressed as the scene returns to ringside
Charity Langston : “Ladies and Gentlemen the next match is scheduled for one fall and is for the IIW Hardcore Title! Coming the right, first tonight’s Challanger El Landerson!
Booyka 619 hits the arena speakers as El Landerson walks out onto the stage. Landerson bends down, taking a knee and a momentary prayer. After a moment Landerson stands once again and points out into the crowd as his stage pyro erupts, Landerson moves to the opposite side of the stage and continues his pre-match ritual. Making his way down the ramp towards the ring, Landerson stops to high five his fans, trying his best to make sure he gets to as many of them as possible. Stopping at one particular younger fan, Landerson pulls off his luchador mask and places it onto the child’s head. Finally turning towards the ring and hops up onto the turnbuckle and poses with both index fingers in mid air. After getting down he makes his way to the opposite turnbuckle and does the same thing two fingers in the air. Getting down he turns his back towards the turnbuckle and faces the ramp, awaiting his opponent.
Higgins: “This one is going to be a little different challenge for El Landerson. Sebastian Hamilton has done many of these Hardcore matches over the years. This is still a fairly new style to Landerson. He has the technical skills, but does he have the ruthlessness that is needed to survive in this environment? Sebastian Hamilton is one sick son of a bitch, and will stop at nothing to retain that Hardcore Title.”
Glass: “I guess we are going to have to wait and see aren’t we Arthur?”
Finally turning towards the ring and hops up onto the turnbuckle and poses with both index fingers in mid air. After getting down he makes his way to the opposite turnbuckle and does the same thing two fingers in the air. Getting down he turns his back towards the turnbuckle and faces the ramp, awaiting his opponent.
Glass: “It’s true that Hamilton is completely in his element here tonight, he has gone up against some of the best and sickest minds around in that title circle. Even though El Landerson suffered a defeat at the hands of newcomer Xavier Lux at Theater Of War, I am not counting him out of this one. You have to remember that he did have a huge win over a former Hardcore Champion in John Tolly only a few short weeks ago. Landerson can get in there and compete with the big dogs, lets just wait and see it he is able to pull this off tonight.”
Charity Langston: “And not the reigning, defending IIW Friday Night Combat Hardcore Champion, Sebastian Hamilton!”
The lights dim ever so slightly and “When the man comes down” by Robert J. Walsh hits the speaker system. Sebastian Hamilton steps out from behind the curtain dressed head to toe in formal attire consisting of a three piece suit, with tie and a long thick black tweed coat and just stops at the top of the ramp, his brothers Edward and Benjamin stood behind him.
The three men make their way down the aisle, fixated on the ring and who the next victim of the The Nightmare Court is going to be. Sebastian steps methodically up the ring steps, climbs through the ropes removing the coat, which he hands to one of his brothers before undoing his tie and removing his shirt, waiting on the bell to ring.
Higgins: “Sebastian Hamilton looks pretty focused in there Alex, and we know what this man is capeable of given a little more freedom in the rules.”
Glass: “That is true and time proven. However, we can’t forget that El Landerson has pulled out some big upset victories in the past year. So we can’t count him out.”
***Ding, Ding***
Sebastian Hamilton attacking right out of the gates with a full sprint run, driving El Landerson back into the corner. Hamilton with a couple right hooks followed by a big knee to the stomach. Sebastian with a second big knee. Taking a few steps back, sprinting forward once again to catch a knee to the side of the head of El Landerson as he kneels in pain from the attack. Landerson dropping to the mat, he rolls out of the ring and out of dodge.
Landerson back to his feet on the outside, he looks up into the ring with confusion and amazement. He fixes his one of his kneepads as he starts to re-evaluate his game plan coming into this one.
Higgins: “I think El Landerson just realized how much trouble he could be in during this one. Sebastian hasn’t even gotten started yet.”
El Landerson slides back under the ropes to get back into the ring. Now, back to his feet the match returns to a level playing field with both men standing in their own corners. Hamilton again as the aggressor, jumping in and the two men lock up in the middle of the ring. It doesn’t take long before Hamilton’s size advantage is used to overpower El Landerson, throwing his back. Landerson with a forearm, but quickly dodged by Hamilton. Sebastian grabs Landerson, whipping him back against the ropes. The bounce off the ropes, Landerson is met by a huge clothesline from Sebastian Hamilton. Landerson is down, but Sebastian Hamilton does not let off the attack. Picking Landerson up off the mat, he once again throws him, this time falling down to the mat after putting everything he could into the throw. Landerson runs chest first into the corner, his sternum bouncing off of the top turnbuckle, the momentum sending his body flying up over the ring post and crashing to the arena floor below.
Landerson now rolling around on the floor mats, his opponent very pleased by his actions, stand smirking in the ring. Hamilton slowly steps through the ropes, in no great hurry. Feeling like he already has this match in the bag, he makes his way to the guard rail and pushes an audience member out of his way. Grabbing the chair that was occupied only a moment ago he turns his attention back to El Landerson.
Higgins: “Oh this isn’t going to be good.”
As Hamilton approaches Landerson, he lifts the chair before bringing it crashing down over the back of his opponent. Chair goes up one more time, and once again comes crashing down onto the back of the luchador. Hamilton drops the chair, and instead he begins to pick up Landerson again. As Landerson is raised to his feet, his head is locked into a DDT. Sebastian looks around, and everyone in the building knows what he is about to do. Sebastian Hamilton shifts his weight, in an attempt to drop a ddt to the chair but no! No he is stopped. Hamilton is stopped by the strength of El Landerson, catching Hamilton mid-air and preventing himself from being driven into the chair. Instead Landerson powers Hamilton up, flipping him over his back and smashing him down. Sebastian lands back first across the corner of the ring steps, the hollow echo of the steel to his spine ringing through the arena. Hamilton now laying across the top of the steel steps, Landerson jumps up onto the apron, and in the same movement jumps off landing a leg drop across the throat of Sebastian. Both men crash to the floor, but Landerson is quick to get back to his feet, in full control of the match and seeming very proud of it.
Landerson with a couple of quick kicks to Hamilton. But El Landerson is just getting started, Landerson backs up and with a short run drives Sebastian back once again with a dropkick. Sebastian , falls backwards, rolling but landings back in a kneeling position. Landerson quick climb up onto the apron, then the ring post.
Glass: “He looks like he is about to take flight! The Bit Luchardor is about to become The Bird Luchador!”
Landerson dives through the air with a cross body and Sebastian Hamilton is getting back to his feet. Hamilton isn’t the champion for nothing, he spots the attack and catches him mid-air. Quickly spinning him around with a sidewalk slam through the announce table. The table explodes into pieces and the live crowd goes crazy. Both men obviously hurt in that exchange, but Hamilton is the first to start to try to raise to his feet.
El Landerson is hurt.
Sebastian Hamilton leans over Landerson, and slaps him in the head.
Hamilton: “You think you can beat me? You aren’t big enough to take this title off of me little man.”
Landerson with the low blow kick out of nowhere. Hamilton falls to his knees. Another kick with the sole of his boot, Hamilton takes the kick to the face and falls backwards onto the mats. El Landerson is still beaten and hurt from the high risk move gone bad, both men begin to stir and move around. Crawling away from the carnage of the broken table, El Landerson collapses under his own strength. Hamilton rolls back to his knees, hoping his balls have descended once again.
Sebastian first to his feet, Landeson still trying to stand up, a fist full of ring apron to act as leverage. Hamilton starts to dig under the ring, pulling out a ladder. After taking it out from under the ring he takes a moment to inspect it before pushing it into the ring under the ropes. Climbing into the ring he stands the ladder if one corner on a fairly wide angle.
He turns his attention to the outside of the ring climbing back outside, picking up the chair. Sebastian begins to make his way around the ring towards Landerson. As El Landerson starts to finally get to his feet, Sebastian takes a wild swing with the chair towards El Landersons head. Landerson with the duck, the chair violently and loudly smashed and beds around the steel ring post. Landerson gets out of dodge, standing again and sliding into the ring. Hamilton quickly to follow suit and slides in the ring himself. Both men again in the ring and turning their attention towards each other. The lock up, Landerson breaks free and drops into a slide, now behind Sebastian Hamilton, the push from behind from Landerson . As Sebastian turns around he is me by a spin kick to the face, Hamilton staggers.
Landerson now on the offensive, a run at Sebastian Hamilton, but his met with a belly to belly suplex. Landerson gets his feet under him and lands standing on the ladder. Hamilton with a quick turn, looking to capitalize on the defensive move. Taking a step forward, his plan read by El Landerson who jumps back onto the end of the ladder overhanging the ringpost. Landersons weight shifts the ladder bringing the bottom end up under his weight. The ladder slams into the chin of Sebastian Hamiltonsending him crashing to the mat which begins to stain with the river of blood pouring from his chin. El Landerson dives off of the ladder crashing down onto Sebastian Hamilton as the ring falls back into its resting place angled on the corner post.
El Landerson jumps back to his feet, signalling to the crowd for the 619!
Higgins: “That is it! El Landerson signalling for the end. Picking up Hamilton, and holding one arm he runs at the rope to hit the hurricarana before setting up the 619.”
Landerson jumps up off the top, hooking around Sebastian Hamilton’s head. Leaning back to shift his weight….but no! Hamilton with the reversal, the attempt at a powerbomb. Landerson with his own reversal, flips up over Hamilton’s head. El Landerson pushes up over his opponent’s shoulders and landing on the sides of the still angled ladder. With a few steps in an attempt to get the end of the ladder to revisit the ladder move he utilized earlier, but Hamilton is not having any of it. Hamilton quickly turns, kicking the ladder and jarring it under Landerson’s feet. El Landerson loses his footing, he slips, falling down between the rungs. Sebastian Hamilton watches on as Landerson tries to push himself back up onto the ladder, but be appears to be struggling and is stuck. Hamilton takes advantage of the situation, climbing up onto the turnbuckle and listing the ladder. With the ladder raised above his head he jumps, pushing the ladder backwards and driving El Landerson down onto the back of his head.
Higgins: “What the fuck was that? That’s a new one!”
Glass: “A Power Ladder Bomb?”
Landerson is out cold. Hamilton, injured from coming down on top of the ladder. The wound under his jaw wide open again, blood pouring his manages to get his arm over to cover El Landerson. Landerson’s shoulders down but still wedged in the ladder.

My Daddy Named me Arby..
(featuring Arby?!)
It’s a Monday morning at the Jacksonville, FL police station. The office is hustling and bustling and from off in the distance the sound of a chattering man with a southern accent can be heard. Judging by the sign hanging above the counter in this particular area, it looks like it’s where they release folks from jail. The officer working the counter sips a cup of coffee and is sneakily reading a newspaper but then he jumps to full attention when this chattering man is brought to his area. The officer escorting him wipes sweat off of her forehead.
Escorting officer: He’s all yours…
Southern Man: Thank you! Same time, next week?
Escorting officer: I never want to see you in here again, Arby. You got that?
Arby: Yes mamm!
The officer working the counter laughs. He pulls out some paperwork and examines it.
Release officer: Arby Dillon. Let’s go ahead and get started so we can get you on out of here.
Arby: I never seen you before. Are you new?
Release officer: Yes.
Arby: I think I know every cop here in the station. Come to think of it, I’m not sure that there’s a police officer in the great state of Florida that I DON’T know.
Arby chuckles.
Release officer: I know it’s not my business, but how did you get the nam….
Arby: My daddy named me Arby. His name is Robert. Robert Dillon. Doctor pulled me out of my momma and my momma and daddy took one look at me and they knew my name right then and there: Robert junior. But when they gave my daddy the paperwork to fill my name out and all that stuff he was real hungry and he was thinking about the Arby’s across the street and he accidentally wrote Arby down as my name. Must have been jonesin’ for a beef and cheddar.
Release officer: They didn’t fix it?
Arby: Well daddy thought that maybe they could try to use this to get free Arbys for life or something. He was telling momma “hey maybe they’ll make a commercial with our little Arby” and we never have to pay for a meal again.
Release officer: I’m assuming that didn’t work.
Arby: Hell no it didn’t work! Could be worse though. My daddy could have named me Taco Bell.
The officer laughs.
Release officer: Arby, you’ve been here way too many times. As nice as it is to meet you, I don’t want to see you coming out of the holding cell again. What are you going to do to make sure you stay out of trouble?
Arby: Funny enough you should ask that. You see, this past weekend was my last hurrah before I start my new life.
Release officer: Oh yeah? What’s happening in your new life?
Arby: I’m going down to the IIW and I’m going to wrestle… professionally. You ever hear of the Combat show? On Friday nights?
Release officer: I think my nephews watch it. You’re telling me that you’re going from getting arrested every weekend to wrestling on Netflix?
Arby: I sure am telling you that! There’s a lot of great stars there that I can’t wait to mix it up with. They got this terrifying pirate guy who’s been tormenting this cowboy guy but then I think the cowboy guy joined up with the pirate and its crazy now! They got this big sumbitch PG-13 who beat the crap out of his own brother to win the championship. Last time I saw them, there was this big angry football player who dressed up as a cameraman and attacked someone and stole a title belt!
Release officer: PG-13 vs. Arby Dillon… I can see that on the marquee in my head.
Arby: No no, I actually got a name that I’m using for the wrestling.
Release officer: What’s that?
Arby: Well you’re just going to have to tune into Friday Night Combat and find out!
Arby signs a sheet of paper and grabs his belongings out of a plastic bin.
Arby: Pleasure meeting you, officer. Adios!
Arby leaves the police station and the release officer laughs to himself. He walks over to a computer and opens up Google and types “Arby Dillon.” He is met with countless search results. All news articles that begin with two words that perfectly describe a man who is arrested for the pettiest of crimes…
FLORIDA MAN!!
Byrds Eye View: Cash?
(featuring Andre Cash, TJ Alexander)
The view comes back to ring as the lights are already dimmed and spot light shinning in the midst of the ring where Jason Byrd already stands ready for his reoccurring segment and the big news that is sure to come from it. He smiles as he clears his throat and begins to speak.
Byrd: Welcome, and your Welcome because today, Tonight live in front of all you meager minded marks I will spare just an ounce of my knowledge, I will bestow you with the late…
Before he can finish the lights flash on as ‘War Pigs’ blast over the PA and Kalvin Dayspring emerges from the entrance ramp. The fans cheer and you can see the annoyance of Jason Byrd as he gives off a almost forced applause when the boss enters the ring. Dayspring takes the mic and speaks.
Dayspring: I know you like to take a few seconds to build yourself up at the expense of our wonderful fans each week but honestly Jason we just don’t have time for that tonight and since I was your scheduled guest I figured I would cut out the middle man and come out here and get straight to the point.
Byrd tosses his hand in the air and moves to the side as Dayspring paces a bit and speaks.
Dayspring: I have tried to be civil, I have ignored the petty insults and social media barrage from Andre Cash at my expense. Honestly Cash is an incredibly talented man who has functioned as a work horse in the early weeks of Combat. He is a man I respect and I understand his frustration, at the SAME time that does not make it ok for him to attack official and no wrestling personnel, still I did what I HAD to do to get control and try to give him time to cool and on THEATER OF WAR he comes out an STEALS the FNC Television Title.
The fans boo at the idea as Dayspring takes a moment to breath before he continues.
Dayspring: So I have sent a personal invitation to Cash tonight, giving you ONE chance to bring back the title before we are forced to take more serious, potentially legal actions. I know you got my invite and I am sure you are lurking some where. So let’s bury this whole mess, come out Cash do the right thing and lets get this show back on track.
He pauses as he waits and the fans begin to chant ‘Bring him out, bring him out,” but no one emerges.
Dayspring: come on Cash, you heard the fans. I know your not a coward just get out here and do the right thing.
“Bring him out, Bring him out,”
Dayspring: Well If I..
As Dayspring starts again the Jumbo Tron flashes on and lights up with an image of Andre Cash, dressed in a nice suit behind a fancy desk of some sort with the TV title sitting in front of him. He smiles as he finally speaks.
Cash: So you say jump and I am supposed to say how high? Now that it is good for you, now that I have something you want. you are ready to do business?
Dayspring: Cash, you know I don’t mean it like that. I don’t want to escalate this any further it has gotten out of control and I..
Cash: Just Shut the **** up Kalvin. No one wants your excuses, and besides I’m the champ now. I got the power. So this is the deal, I will bring this back when I get a match against TJ Alexander LIKE I SHOULD OF HAD on Theater of War for the thing. Or is Alexander running from me now? He got lucky and had to face the pitiful excuse for an opponent The Silence and now he is counting his blessing and dodging me at every corner?!
Before anything else is said ‘The Touch’ by Stan Bush is heard and TJ appears on the ramp, mic in hand. The fans go crazy at his appearance and he gets right to the point.
Alexander: GIVE HIM THE MATCH!
The fans begin to chant “Let them fight, Let them fight, Let Them fight”
Kalvin: It’s not that ea..
Alexander: GIVE THE MAN THE MATCH!
Kalvin: FINE, it’s on but next week I need to see Cash back in action. And if he touches ANYONE that he isn’t booked against it’s not just suspensions and fines, your gone Andre do you got that? Come next week, play nice and on Riot Act it will be TJ Alexander vs Andre Cash for the FNC Television Title!
Cash: Fine with me, and TJ you must have a death wish because on Riot Act I am going to bury you.
Alexander: On Riot act its Game Over for you cash!
The jumbo Tron goes black as Kalvin sighs and begins to exit the ring.
Higgins: NOW THAT IS MASSIVE! Andre Cash I guess is unsuspended? And back in action on the NEXT Combat.
Glass: And he has secured himself a TV title shot at Riot Act! Man that is a match that will bring the house down!
Higgins: Speaking of matches to bring the house down, the next one has ALOT of history building on it. As our New Women’s Division gets ready to shine with the Champion Daddy Marisol and her good friend Shante take on ONE of the two number one contenders Latoya Hixx and returning Combatant Junko Souma!
Glass: Junko and Marisol have history as Beckett defeated her in Miracle Galaxy Pro earlier this year the same promotion in Japan that Latoya will get her shot in JUST a few weeks.
He is interrupted as She looks Good to me hit’s when she comes out on stage and poses her arm in heel toe in the air she walks down and slaps a few kids high fives and gets inside of the Intense Enough ring and climbs on the top rope and pose her hand in the mid air and gets down off the rope and waits for her tag team partner to arrive.
Higgins: Up next Ladies and gentlemen we have tag team women’s action,
Glass: Yep the women’s division is on fire tonight, let’s see what these four ladies can do.
“Evolution” by Ayumi Hamasaki (Pop remix) hits and we Junko make her way to the ring where she stands by Hixx as the two women look ready for action.
Higgins: I can already tell that this match is going to be amazing.
Glass: Let’s hope so, I don’t know how I feel about all of these women coming here and trying to take over though. You see the last show right? They are starting to be everywhere that we turn but it makes combat look great so there is that at least!
Mutiny by Neoni hits and we see Shante’ Waverly make her way to the ring, as we also see Beckett Marisol come out and accompany her as Beckett has the women’s title across her shoulder as the two make their way to the ring.
Higgins: The IIW Women’s title is why all of these women put their bodies on the line.
The bell rings signaling the start of the match and we see that it will be Shante’ and Latoya to start the match off.
***Ding, Ding***
Glass: No love lost between these two women.
We see Latoya get the advantage on Shante as she backs her up into the corner and hits Shante’ with a slap across her chest, as we see Shante’ let out a grunt as Latoya chops her again and then irish whips Shante’ up against the ropes and catches her with a dropkick, sending Shante’ outside the ring as the crowd cheers and the ref begins the count as Hixx tags in Souma.
Beckett gets down off the ring apron and helps Shante’ inside of the ring as Shante takes a second to straighten herself up and locks up with Souma. Shante gets the advantage as she hip tosses Souma to the ground and quickly attemps to lock in a headlock on Souma but Souma begins to elbow Shante’ as she gets to her feet and Souma catches Shante up and delivers a snap suplex sending Shante’ down to the mat again.
Higgins: Hixx and Souma really are taking it to Waverly, granted Waverly has not had time to be one hundred percent since her match last show.
Souma and Hixx exchange a tag, now making Hixx the legal woman as the ref sees and forces Shante out of the ring.
Glass: Excuses, excuses as we see Souma take a second and point to the corner where Marisol is.
The camera goes back to the action where we see now that Waverly has tagged Marisol in as Souma and Marisol look at each other for a second and Souma grabs Marisol and sends her flying into the ropes and catches Marisol with a shotgun dropkick as she comes back and Marisol hits the mat hard. Souma goes for the pin but Marisol gets her shoulder up off the mat after a one count and rolls out the way into her corner for a second to catch her breath.
Higgins: The champion seems a little winded.
Glass: Well that is what happens when you don’t wrestle like you should, but maybe now that she is on combat that will change because there are a lot of women gunning for that title.
Higgins: Yep and one of them is in the match now in Latoya Hixx. You heard everything that Dayspring announced earlier in the show.
We see that Souma has tagged Hixx in now as Hixx grabs Beckett and puts her in the bottom corner and turns around and hits Beckett with a baseball slide! Hixx grabs Beckett and throws her in the center of the ring and goes for a cover but only gets a one count as Beckett kicks out. We see Beckett get to her feet as she grabs Hixx by the head of her hair and hits Hixx with a single arm ddt as she leans down and begins to yell at her. None the less Hixx reaches up and hits Beckett with a swinging neckbreaker, as Hixx goes over and tags in Soumo. The crowd erupts in cheers as we see Beckett get to her feet and go over to tag Shante’ but Soumo pulls Beckett back by the heel of her foot.
Souma picks Beckett up and sets her up on the top rope, Beckett tries to fight Souma off but to no avail as we see Souma execute the Face Full of Ace, as Beckett’s body falls limply on the mat and Souma goes for the cover. The ref’s hand comes down for a count of two when we see Waverly run into the ring and kick Souma off, as Hixx comes in and catches Waverly with the Hangman’s choke.
Higgins: Damn it, the ref seems to have lost all control of this match.
The ref now gathers some sense of control of the match as Souma and Waverly are ushered back to their corners and we now see Hixx and Beckett in the ring. Beckett begins to taunt Hixx but Hixx is having none of it as she grabs Beckett and sends her flying up against the ropes. As Beckett comes back, Hixx aims for a clothesline but Beckett ducks and catches Hixx from behind with a forearm to the head.
Beckett circles around, and picks up Hixx before delivering Tooth and Nail to Hixx and going for the cover. 1..

***Ding Ding***
Beckett quickly leaves the ring, goes and grabs her title with Shante’ in tow as we hear Charity.
Charity: Your winners via pinfall, Beckett Marisol and Shante’ Waverly!
Busy Night
(featuring Sebastian Hamilton, Tex Attwater)
The scene cuts to the office of Kalvin Dayspring as the Combat GM opens the door to let himself in, however he finds it’s already unlocked. Looking around as he opens the door he finds Tex Attwater standing by his desk, but sitting in his chair and feet up, is none other than Sebastian Hamilton.
SEBASTIAN: Alright Guvnor? You took your time didn’t ya? Been waiting ages for you tonight…
Kalvin sighs as he sees the duo from the Nightmare Court staring at him. He just shakes his head as he walks over and knocks Hamilton’s feet off his desk.
DAYSPRING: I am a Busy man Sebastian, I have a main event to get ready for and tons of other business to take care of. So if you would get your ass out of my seat and go about your business and let me live my life for just ONE evening that would be swell.
Sebastian leans forward in the chair, looks at Tex and scoffs before his attention is once more fixed on Dayspring.
SEBASTIAN: You hear this, Tex? Mr. Dayspring here wants me to let him “live his life” for just one second, the life in which he is the GM of the brand and therefore in a job which makes all this relevant! He also seems to forget that HE put us both in the position we’re in right now…
DAYSPRING: Oh? Okay I’ll indulge this childish nonsense. What position is that then?
SEBASTIAN: The position in which you are continually trying to pile on the pressure but don’t seem to realise, boss, that whatever you set me up for, I do the opposite… You tried to send me through a gauntlet for my Hardcore belt. I came out with it intact! You then tried to set me up to fail against Cyrus Youngblood for the Uprising Title and I won that too! Then tonight El Landerson for my Hardcore Championship again and again, I come out on top… So tell me Kal, what’s next??
DAYSPRING: Well I had a nice little Chat with Cyrus earlier tonight, he seems to feel that you used your little court..
He glances over at Tex who is silently watching this whole conversation.
DAYSPRING: to rob him of his Uprising title and that he deserves some sort of retribution. I think honestly, I agree. So how about we start with a title rematch against Cyrus on Riot Act FOR both titles and this time the entirety of the Nightmare Court will be caged ringside so they aren’t able to interfere and you have to do something on your own. How does that sound?
Sebastian scoffs and scowls, standing up and leaning across the desk.
SEBASTIAN: So when it suits, you’ll forget it was a winner take all match, meaning just like the Gauntlet there were hardcore rules… But sure, whatever floats your boat and gets Youngblood’s jollies off. I’m game for anything you throw at me mate… And here’s a little something extra, once I’m done with him and the two belts, I’ll be gunning for whoever’s holding the TV title at the end of Riot Act, too…
Dayspring almost fumes as Sebastian continues to rile him up.
DAYSPRING: That’s if you make it to Riot Act as both champs. I mean you are a double champion right? That means you’re expected to do double the workload that was our original arrangement. Still your right I have been a little hard on you, so how about next week I let your little friend here help you.
He motions to Tex in the corner.
DAYSPRING: A tag team match you and Tex will take on two of my choosing but if your team loses, regardless of who gets pinned your opponents will each take one of your little titles? How does that sound?
It’s pretty obvious that Sebastian isn’t happy with the arrangement, but he stands up straight and smirks. He walks around the desk, leaning down and coming back up with both the Hardcore and Uprising belts, placing one over each shoulder and nods for Tex to join him as he doesn’t even acknowledge Kalvin’s suggestion, he just produces a shit-eating grin as the two leave the office.
The view settles to the center of the ring with Charity Langston as she begins the announcements for the next bout, she smiles and begins to speak as the fans are already excited and cheering for the anticipated match up.
Charity: The next bout is one fall! First coming to the ring, he is a former Uprising Champion! Standing 6 foot 1 inch and weighing in at 200 pounds even he is Cyrus Youngblood!!
An odd mixture of boos and cheers as the lights dim and ‘Broadway Girls’ blast over the PA. The spotlight hits on the entrance when we finally see Cyrus, he spread his arm in a hugging motion before making it towards the ring and sliding under the bottom rope. He kneels and begins a little prayer as Charity continues.
Charity: and his opponent for the evening, the former and FIRST EVER FNC Global Champion, he is the Granite City Sadist, he is CALEB SCOTT!!!!
The fans let out a very unusual pop as Caleb’s music hits. It is noticeable that his drudges are missing at the start, showing just how alone he is since the purge has went missing. The Lights stay off as song intro plays. Once the drums in the song start, a single beam of light from above the ring shoots to the stage as Caleb Scott walks into the light amidst a layer of thick fog. Holding his chain-wrapped bat, Caleb stands there for a few seconds looking at the crowd. Caleb begins to slowly walk to the ring as a short row of fire ignites on either side of the entrance ramp. Caleb approaches the steel steps and places his bat on the top step. He then places his hand on top of it and closes his eyes for a few seconds before going up the steps and into the ring, the single beam of light follows him the entire time. He walks towards the corner and stands on the middle rope. He stares out into the crowd for a few seconds before taking a deep breath, extending his arms out to the side, and unleashing a loud, thunderous scream before the lights come back on.
***Ding, Ding***
Higgins: This is an incredible match up that features two of Combat’s former champion in a reward that could have tons of championship potential in the future as well.
Glass: Both men can make a strong claim to being uncrowned champions after Theater of War, as a matter of fact Cyrus already has plead his case to Dayspring earlier tonight while the dirt cheats are calling Caleb the Real Global Champion already.
Higgins: A movement the fans are surprisingly enough really getting behind as you could tell by the positive reaction to him when he entered the arena tonight.
The men circle each other a bit before locking up in the middle of the ring. Both men almost identical when it comes to physical stats struggle for control a bit before Caleb gets the quick advantage breaking away and hitting a headlock takedown to Cyrus sending him hard to the mat and keeping the move locked in. The ref checks to make sure Cyrus doesn’t want to tap and that his shoulder’s don’t touch the mat but it is way to early for any of that. Cyrus however does begin to fight to the mat but only for Caleb to once again use his leverage to send him back down with the same move. After a few seconds of this you can see Caleb’s mean streak as he sends a few full fist punches into the head of Cyrus. He is warned by the ref but disregards it as he grabs Cyrus by the hair of the head and drags him to his feet. He then goes to Irish whip him but Cyrus manages a reverse and sends Caleb into the far ropes. As he does however Cyrus also bounces off the ropes hitting a spring board reverse DDT on Caleb and quickly covering for the first pin attempt.
.1,
.. Kick out!
Glass: Cyrus has to understand the type of win this would be for his Career, Caleb is the FIRST ever Global Champion and has only ever actually been pinned once before!
Higgins: Yea that is why he is looking to end this as quick as possible, he might decide he doesn’t want that rematch and instead would rather want to go for the Global title if he picks up this victory tonight!
Cyrus is up to his feet and sends a few boots to Caleb who is still down on the ground before he bounces off the ropes and hits a knee drop onto Caleb and goes for a quick pin again. This time before the ref can get into position for the count. Cyrus then mounts Caleb and begins to drive a few elbows into the head of the former Global Champ. He jerks Caleb up to his feet and sits him up lifting him high into the air for a hanging Vertical suplex, he lets him linger in the air for a good 10 seconds before sending him back down hard and floats over for a cover.
.1,
..2,
. Kick Out!
Glass: Cyrus has control of Caleb and is keeping it nice and slow so he can inflict plenty of damage to him and hopefully grind him to the ground and pick up this victory.
Higgins: As long as he doesn’t under estimate the skill and resourcefulness of Caleb he has a chance.
As the action goes on in the ring the crowd begins to boo as the figure of Jack Tyde is seen at the top of the entrance ramp. He pauses watching the action in the ring as he slowly makes his way down to ringside.
Glass: Well looks like the Judge has shown up to watch the evidence as we seem to be in the midst of the Trail of Caleb Scott now.
Higgins: This is almost always a bad omen for whoever the Court locks their eyes on and I highly doubt he is just here to observe.
Cyrus by this time has moved Caleb in the corner and is stomping a mudhole in him. After a few seconds of this he decides to lift Caleb up to the top top turnbuckle as he does however Caleb comes alive and sends a few punches into the head of Cyrus causing him to stagger just a bit. He then gives a stiff kick to Cyrus that sends him back a few feet. With this space Caleb is able to stand up on the top turnbuckle and come off with a flying clothesline sending Cyrus down to the mat hard. Caleb then gets up quickly dragging Cyrus up with him. He goes to Irish whip Cyrus but Cyrus reverses him Caleb flies towards the ropes but some how hits a springboard Devastation Kick sending Cyrus back to the ground. As he lands he catches a glimpse of Tyde. He turns and Tyde applauds him, you can see the disdain in Caleb’s eyes but he doesn’t say anything instead returning to the match at hand.
Higgins: Caleb has to stay focused on Cyrus if he wants to walk away here tonight with a win. It is vital that he not over look the former Uprising Champion.
Glass: I doubt Scott would ever over look his opponent, I am just not sure Tyde has any interest in staying a cheer leader.
By this time Cyrus is staggering up but Caleb grabs him and hits a reverse atomic drop on him, Caleb then bounces off the ropes for a bit of momentum landing a vicious clothesline from hell sending Cyrus back down and going for a cover.
.1,
.. Kick out!
Caleb doesn’t slow down the offense as he stands up and drags Cyrus up behind him. This time he lifts him in the air like a vertical suplex before hitting his signature ‘Reaper Reach’ move on him. This slams him hard into the mat, Caleb steps back and waits for him to get up. As Cyrus begins to stagger to his feet Caleb bounces off the ropes and tries for the ‘Grim Death’ (Running Knee) but Cyrus is able to move out of the way. Cyrus still hurt however is standing in the corner trying to get his wits about him, Caleb goes to turn around however but then the Jumbo Tron begins to flicker. Odd Flashes of A skull with the numbers 143 carved in the forehead, other gruesome images all with 143 blended into them flash for a few seconds drawing both Caleb and the Refs attention.
Higgins: What sort of mind games is this?! 143? This is similar to the videos that Tyde ran when he was messing with Tex’s head.
Glass: well if it’s part of the Trail of Caleb Scott, Caleb doesn’t seem near as bothered by them as Tex did but look at Tyde!
While everyone is distracted Tyde jumps to the ring apron and pulls out what appears to be a pair of brass knuckles and nails Cyrus right in the head. Tyde quickly drops back to the ground as the video goes off and Cyrus staggers forward right into the arms of Caleb who who lifts him to the sky and hits the ‘Grave Plot’ (Alabama slam) on Cyrus, he then goes for the cover.

**Ding, Ding**
Charity Langston: Your winner by Pinfall Caleb Scott!!
Caleb looks a bit confused as he stands up and looks outside you can see Tyde giving him a round of applauds as he slowly exits back up the ramp.
Higgins: That is the SECOND time in recent memory that members of the Nightmare Court has screwed Cyrus Youngblood, he has to be seething or at least will be when he gets his wits about him!
Glass: So is Tyde trying to prove that Caleb needs the Court now? Or that he should join? I mean that is a pretty good recruitment strategy, a lot more appealing then what he did for Tex at least. Still It doesn’t look like Caleb is happy as he can’t prove it but he seems to know something fishy happened.
Next on the List
(featuring Sean Raines)
As we see Caleb still staring down the ramp as Tyde makes his exit a hooded figure slides in under the bottom rope seemingly emerging from the crowd. He takes down his hood and it’s none other than Sean Raines. He grabs Caleb from behind spinning him around before kicking him in the gut and hitting the ‘Skyfall’ (double underhook brainbuster) laying out Caleb. He then mounts his body and begins pounding on him with closed fist punches. The refs rush in and he threatens them enough to make them back off.
Higgins: What the hell is Raines doing?! There was rumor his business with Combat was done! I mean the whole reason he showed up was to settle his score with Tolly and he sent him away in an ambulance on Theater of War.
Glass: Rumors is Tolly may never wrestle again so he can check him off but does this mean he’s in bed with the Nightmare Court?! Is this some part of Tyde’s mind games?
After a few more stomps on Caleb, Sean Raines pulls out a can of spray paint and shakes it a few times before writing a large number 2 on the back of Caleb. He smiles as he tosses the can into the fans and makes his exit as security begins to flood the ring. We get a close up of our former champ laid out and the 2 on his back.
Higgins: Two? What does that mean?
Glass: No idea Alex but rather it has to do with The Nightmare Court or Sean Raines personal twisted agenda it seems like Caleb has a target on him now and if Tolly is an example it is dangerous for Sean Raines to have you in his sights.
Higgins: Well it’s been an hectic night in the fall out of Theater of War but we still have our main event to go and it proves to be an interesting one at least. With two familiar opponents in TJ Alexander and Crush facing off with none other than our new Global Champion PG-13 as the special ref.
Glass: That’s a powder keg for sure, so lets see how long it takes to explode! I think Charity is ready in the ring so lets get to our main event.
Charity Langston: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall and it is your Main Event Of The Evening! Making his way down to the ring, the special guest referee for this evening PG-13!
‘Hero’ By Skillet blast as the beast appears on the entrance ramp. Not dressed in his usual attire, PG sports black pants and a striped referee shirt. He pauses for a moment as his Pyro blast behind him before he takes a moment to march down the ramp and into the ring.
Charity: And for the combatants in this bout. First making his way down to the ring, he is the FNC TELEVISION CHAMPION, THE GAME CHANGER, TJ ALEXANDER!!
‘The Touch’ by Stan Bush hits and is barely audible over the reaction of the crowd who are about to witness the marquee match they are all in attendance for. Smoke and pyro start to fill the stage as we see TJ himself at the entrance ramp. Looking out at the crowd he poses for a moment before starting his long walk down the ramp. High-fiving the fans along the ringside barrier before hopping up onto the apron on one leg. He once again looks out at the crowd before pulling his other leg up and stepping into the ring. TJ makes his way around the ring, before running towards the corner and hopping up on the second rope. He reaches around his back, undoing his title and holding it high above his head. The live crowd goes crazy, as they erupt into a huge pop of excitement and start to chant, TJ, TJ,TJ!
Higgins: “Once again folks, we want to remind you that this is a non-title match. TJ likes to show off that gold, but it is not on the line tonight as he steps in there with the man who is about to make his presence known.”
Charity: “And his opponent tonight, a man who needs no real introduction to the IIW audience….CRUSH!”
Kingdom by Downstait blast over the PA and the fans in the arena go berserk. The cheers are so loud that it drowns out both Glass and Higgins at first. A chant of ‘Crush, Crush, Crush’ can be heard before the big man appears at the top of the entrance ramp. He looks around the crowd and smiles before raising his fist above his head, he slams it into the ground and pyro explodes on either side of him.
All three men are in the ring, all standing in their own corner. Crush and TJ make eye contact and start mouthing off at each other. It doesn’t take long before Crush’s attention is momentarily taken off of his opponent and turns towards his brother, the two make eye contact.
Glass: “Folks there is some obvious animosity, and well documented hatred between the two brothers in the ring.”
Higgins: “There is definitely a family feud happening there, we have all seen it. But Crush needs to put his attention on the match. PG-13 isn’t exactly a threat in this one, he needs to focus on the man across from him that is looking to weaken his stats with another loss here. It was only a couple of weeks ago hat the two brothers beat the living hell out of each other in the Gruesome Finale at Theater Of Pain. PG-13 came out of that one as the winner, and you know that still sits as a sore spot for his brother Crush here tonight.”
Glass: “Hopefully he can turn his attention away from his ego and into the match here tonight.”
**DING! DING!**
As the PG-13 calls for the bell, Crush and TJ Alexander test each other out as the two of them meet just off center of the ring and lock up. The two men struggle, but it is TJ that gains the upper hand. Pushing Crush back, TJ delivers a thunderous right hand. Crush is staggered; TJ follows up with another, and another. TJ builds on his momentum, taking a step back and snapping Crush across the side of the head with a roundhouse kick out of nowhere, Crush is dazed giving TJ a moment to collect his thoughts before hammering Crush with a huge dropkick sending him over the top rope to the floor below. Crush is on the mat, TJ watches on as PG looks very pleased with how the match is going so far.
With Crush slowly getting back to his feet, TJ looks down from the ring above. TJ ducking back to the ring ropes behind him, with a small push off the ropes he takes off running and leaps, suicide dive down onto his opponent. Crush, with enough sense of the match meets TJ midair with a massive right hook. TJ’s momentum is stopped dead and TJ crashes to the mats, a little out of it after the punch directly in the center of the throat. Crush leans over TJ and starts to throw a series of punches of his own. PG-13 starts his count on the two men outside of the ring.

Crush, not wanting to end this thing by count out picks TJ up, and rolls him under the bottom rope into the ring. With TJ now in the ring, Crush is the only man still on the outside. Suddenly PG-13’s count increases in tempo.
5.6.7.8.9
Crush quickly jumps under the bottom rope, narrowly avoiding the count out. As he gets into the ring, he pushes himself up onto his knees and angrily looks up at his brother.PG-13 just smirks back at his brother.
Crush getting back to his feet suddenly feels a slight ringing in his ears. Shining Wizard by TJ Alexander drops Crush back to the mat, TJ jumps back up and starts to hammer down kicks one after another. Crush grabbing the foot of TJ, but TJ shakes it off and continues his assault. Crush still trying to regain control is back up to his knees, but TJ is relentless with the flurry of punches that he is now raining down on Crush.
Crush manages to get to his knees, grabbing the side of TJ’s tights he steadies himself to start throwing his own punches. Crush back to his feet as the two trade punch after punch standing in the center of the ring.
Higgins: “Can you believe this!”
Glass: “Neither man can take control of this match. It seems to be just a constant struggle for power.”
Crush with a European uppercut, catching TJ by surprise. Crush with both hands, grabs TJ by the throat. With all of his power, Crush tosses TJ backwards into the corner. As TJ flies through the air, Crush starts running to build momentum, and as TJ crashes into the corner he is met with a thunderous clothesline that nearly takes his head
off! TJ’s body just collapses on impact, Crush goes for the cover.
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE..
TTTTWWW….
TJ Kicks out, aided by the extremely slow count of PG-13.
Crush looks up with an obviously frustrated look on his face.
PG-13: “What? He kicked out of the count.”
PG shrugs and laughs, before standing up to continue the match.
TJ rolling over attempting to get to his feet, Crush slowly raising to his. Crush gets to his feet and immediately gets in the face of PG-13. The two brothers stand yelling and arguing with each other. Both men yelling with everything they can, an extremely frustrated Crush grabs ahold of the striped referee shirt of PG-13.
A quick drop of the head, PG-13 looks down at his shirt, before looking Crush in the eyes and shaking his head.
Higgins: “I can’t say for sure, but one would have to assume that PG is explaining to his brother Crush how bad of an idea of grabbing a referee is.”
PG and Crush continue to argue, when all of a sudden a wide smile shows across the face of PG-13. An angry Crush is extremely confused with the sudden mood change . PG-13 says something else inaudible to anyone outside the ring. This statement obviously gets Crush’s attention. PG’s expression turns cold as he picks up his hand and flips off Crush before putting out his index finger and pointing behind him. As Crush starts to turn his head to try to look over his shoulder he is grabbed around the waist. Before he can try to defend himself TJ Alexander sends him flying and crashing him down with a german suplex.
Crush down on the mat, and TJ quickly follows up with an elbow drop to the back. Tj grabs Crush by the hair, picking him up to his feet but still holding him by the arm. As Crush gets to his feet TJ shifts his weight forward onto his lead foot, the other leg swings up and cracks Crush across the jaw with a back heel kick. Crush drops once again.
Again TJ picks Crush up, leading him by the arm. With Crush now in a standing armlock, TJ turns his attention to the corner. Holding onto Crush’s wrist, TJ takes a running start, stepping up the ropes and back flipping off the turnbuckle and hooking a reverse DDT. Both men crash to the mat, TJ quickly back to his feet. TJ drops for the pin, hooking Crush’s leg.

Kick out by Crush.
Both TJ can’t believe it! PG just shakes his head with disappointment.
TJ starts his attack again, this time still kneeling on the mat next to Crush he grabs him by the hair and starts throwing right hands. One after another the punches bounce off of Crush’s forehead. TJ jumps up, turns toward the ropes and jumps up onto them, bouncing off the top in a sitting position, TJ flips backwards and lands a leg drop square across the throat of Crush. Running off of the adrenaline and energy from the crowd, TJ grabs the ropes for another high flying spot. TJ jumps the ropes, landing on the apron on the outside. A quick bend at the knees and he slingshots himself up onto the top rope, using it to gain more momentum he leaps off the rope flipping through the air with a 450 degree splash. As TJ twists in the air Crush gets a moment of clarity and gets a boot in the air connecting with the head of TJ Alexander as he comes crashing down.
TJ lands flat on the mat, his head spinning with the sudden impact. Crush grabs the ropes and slowly pulls himself back to his feet. At the moment Crush finally gets back on his feet, PG-13 throws his hands up in frustration and turns to the ropes. Stepping through onto the apron, PG-13 jumps down to the floor and pushes the timekeeper out of their chair. Picking up the chair, PG turns back towards the ring. The chair gets slid in under the rope and PG reaches up to the ropes and pulls himself up, again stepping through the ropes and entering the ring before picking up the chair again with his right hand. As PG looks up he comes face to face with Crush.
Glass: “Oh here we go! It was inevitable, this moment was happening if we liked it or not. Crush and PG-13 in the center of the ring and PG-13 is armed. He looks like he wants to wrap that chair around his brother’s head.”
PG raises the chair, now holding it in both hands and the two men start to exchange words again. PG holds up the chair, ready to smack Crush but he turns away and unfolds the chair in the corner. PG signals to someone on the outside of the ring to hand him a microphone. After reaching out for the mic, PG turns around and sits in the chair which is set up facing the ring from the corner post.
PG: “I should have known. I knew better. I knew that the two of you would fuck this up. Such a boring display of whatever kind of sorry excuse for a match this thing is. Neither one of you can pin the other. You are both just fucking sad. So this is what I am going to do. I am going to sit here, in this chair, until one of you do something that deserves the win.”
PG tosses the microphone out of the ring and leans back in the chair folding his arms.
Crush turns his attention back to his opponent. TJ back on his feet takes a running start to mount an attack but it met with a duck by Crush, hooking him under the arm and crashing to the mat with a sidewalk slam. Crush stands and drops down again with a knee to the chest of TJ Alexander. TJ clenching his chest, he rolls out under the bottom rope to the outside of the ring. TJ on his feet, he leans against the barricade to try and collect his thoughts. His attention grabbed by the sudden roar of the crowd looking up he sees it too late! Crush is flying over the top rope, suicide dive! But no! Crush braces the fist and connects with TJ right between the eyes! Suicude Dive Superman Punch! The crowd erupts. IIW IIW IIW!
Higgins: “What the hell did we just witness?”
Glass: “I think we just saw what happens when you put two of Combats finest in the ring with no real referee to try and keep the match on pace.”
Crush picking up TJ Alexander by the head. He hooks under TJ’s chin. Crush takes the moment, TJ still in the headlock, to turn towards the ring. With an intense amount of power, TJ is lifted completely vertical in the air. Holding him in the air for a moment Crush twists TJ around and drops him in a slam down onto the cold arena floor. Extremely Devastating!
Higgins: “Oh that has to be it.”
Crush grabs TJ and stands him up, pushing him and rolling TJ under the ropes into the ring. Crush is soon to follow suit, and once inside drops down for the pin. PG-13 just sits on his chair and makes eye contact, making no attempt to even count the pin. The crowd starts to count out loud.

A duck from TJ, bouncing off the opposite ropes, dodging the attack attempt from Crush once again. TJ jumps, stepping off the top rope, flips and hooks a hurricarana. Crush head over heels crashing to the mat, TJ to the corner. Jumping up, climbing the ropes like running up a ladder, once at the top TJ takes flight with a moonsault.

TJ jumps up. He kicks at the bottom rope out of pure anger, throwing a punch at the padded turnbuckle cover. TJ takes a breathe and starts to turn back to the match. SLAM! Crush with the spear. TJ foggy and laying on the mat. Crush for the pin.
Nothing.
PG stands there laughing at Crush and refusing to pin. Crush jumps up and gets in the face of PG-13.
As PG-13 and Crush stand in the ring arguing, a second ref can be seen running down the ramp. The ref dives in and quickly gets to his feet, joining in on the argument between Crush and PG-13. The three argue over PG’s lack of attempt in the match.
TJ now back to his feet, runs at the group. Jumping with a flying knee, Crush catching the attack out of his perifural vision and quickly dodges out of the way. Crush falls left, the new ref falls right. PG-13 was not as lucky. He catches the flying knee to the chest making him lose balance and falling backwards between the ropes. Crush grabbing TJ from behind, swinging him up over his head with a german suplex, Crush back to a football like stance, waiting on TJ to get back up. As TJ regains his sences he stands again. Turning around he is almost broken in half by Crush with a spear. TJ lay lifeless on the mat as Crush grabs the leg and goes for the pin. The new referee drops for the cover.

***Ding, Ding***
Charity Langston: “Ladies and Gentlemen your winner by pinfall, CRUSH!”
Crush instantly drops to his back and falls to the mat, rolling under the bottom rope to the outside. He makes his way to the crowd, reaching over he pushes someone out of their seat and takes the chair. With some seriously bad intentions Crush turns towards his brother. As Crush rounds the corner of the ring, you can see PG-13 standing at ringside talking to the second referee. The two seem to be arguing over the second referee’s involvement in the match. Crush stops just behind PG, and with as much volume as he can, yells out his brother’s name. PG-13 looks over his shoulder, and begins to turn towards the noise but it met face on by the steel chair that Crush is clenching in his fists. PG is dropped, but Crush isn’t finished yet. One after another Crush swings the chair over and over, there seems to be a lot of anger being bottled up in those chair shots. After a few more shots security now surrounds the ring trying to break the two men up. The show logo flashes as we go off the air still in the midst of the scuffle.
