The Halloween Mayhem
Mike Fisher: Welcome to MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM!!! We are live here in New Orleans for this special edition of Monday Night Mayhem on Halloween and boy do we have a loaded card for you here tonight.
Scott James: That’s right ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got the finals of The IIW World Cup Tournament with the IIW Tag Team Titles on the line in the Main Event, we also got Crush vs Ryan Hawkins in a Hunated Hous Horror Match, and also an International Championship match as Joe Montuori takes on PG-13,
Mike Fisher: We got a lot more on the card than that so make sure to stay tuned in but right now we are going to start you off with General Manager Shaun Hart and Owner Osh who made his shocking return to IIW last Mayhem.
Scott James: Yes he did but his return angered Shaun Hart and the tension between former friends has only grown.
Mike Fisher: Yes once best buds are now bumping heads over power and will now address the state of IIW.
The hard cam switches to the ring as Shaun and Osh stand in the middle of the ring, both with a microphone in hand. Osh begins to raise his microphone but the fans break out in a chant.
WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!
Osh smiles a little and gives the fans a wave before lifting his microphone up, while Shaun just rolls his eyes.
Osh: Thank you for that warm welcome and it does feel DAMN GOOD TO BE BACK.
The fans break out in another chant.
YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!
Shaun looks at the crowd with disgust while Osh takes in the moment before lifting his microphone again.
Osh: I love this company and that’s why I fought so hard to get it back at Worlds Collide and unfortunately I had to make a deal with a few devils to get there and I regret that because guys like Chris Page thought they owned this company and even the Champion John Cavanagh walks around here with his goons like he owns the place.
Osh takes a pause and looks at Shaun Hart with disappointment.
Osh: And then another one was someone I thought was a friend that I could trust to run things while I was away. Instead, that friend chooses to make my company his Hollywood and make himself and his friends the leading act.
Osh shakes his head as he paces around.
Osh: Now don’t get me wrong Shaun, I still think the world of you and really value what you’ve done for this company, but my friend your ego needed to be checked and so do a bunch of people on this roster.
Shaun takes off his shades and looks at Osh with rage in his eyes.
Shaun: HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!
Scott James: Oh boy, Shaun sounds pissed!
Shaun: I saved you and this company from being another blemish on it’s history. I stopped this place from being on the verge of closing to becoming one of the best and most successful wrestling companies today!
The hard cam zooms in on Shaun.
Shaun: We went from bingo halls in Manchester to selling out Madison Square Garden! We went from having a low amount of talent to a now overflowing amount of talent and even more banging on the door to get in.We are hot, we are in the MAINSTREAM ERA like I promise, I delivered on making this company got, every adecision I made was best for business!
The fans give Shaun a mix reaction.
Shaun: Shut the hell up, I’ve made your viewer pleasure more enjoyable and I have plans to make this colony even more remarkable but I need the owner to stay out of the way and allow me to do the job I was hired to do. Osh you need to understand despite the way you feel about the way I do things my decisions always lead to better things for IIW. You can talk about Page and being a cancer but good damn it that man made this whole roster up their game and take the business of this company more seriously. I helped lite a fire under everyone’s ass and now look at the IIW as an awakening juggernaut that’s about to be an unstable force in the wrestling business. I have us on the cusp of greatness but only if you get out of my way!
Shaun looks directly at Osh as he receives a mix reaction again from the fans.
Osh: I hear you Shaun and like I said I never said you were a fool or you didn’t help build this company but you are out of control with power and I’m somebody that knows that better than anybody. I’ve been where you are with power and as a friend I see it as my duty to relieve you of some of that power. So like I said last week we run a things together now. I’m done with vacation and it’s time we get down to the big announcement.
The fans all look intrigued as they look to each other and wonder why it could be.
Osh: You see, The World Heavyweight John Cavanagh still doesn’t have a challenger for Explosion yet but that’s all about to change. Shaun and I have been discussing all week who we like and who we truly believe have earn themselves a shot at the biggest PPV of Teh Year….
Shaun cuts Osh off.
Shaun: Yeah that’s right we did and of course we couldn’t come to an agreement on one person and since I wasn’t allowed to pick anyone from CCPE we both have agreed to have one pick and then these two competitors will face The Champion at Explosion…
Osh cuts Shaub off now.
Osh: Yes and I choose someone that represents what the IIW is all about and what it was build on. This man has one of yeh beat records in the company, never been pinned or tapped out in his career and he’s been overlooked for for too long, BLADE ALEXANDER IS MY PICK!!!!
The fans ERUPT with excitement and chant Blade throughout the arena for a couple minutes before Shaun puts a finger to his lips gelling the fans to shush as he begins to talk.
Shaun: Such a boring pick Osh, I would’ve thought you pick someone so obviously close with you but my pick is someone I don’t even really like and since I couldn’t pick a real contender from CCPE I’ll pick a B-level talent competitor that thinks so highly of himself and believes he can be a World Champion of this company. So say thank you and buckle up Crush because if you can defeat Ryan Hawkins here tonight. I will areege to make you my pick for Explosion. So as of right now, the Maine Event for Explosion is Blade Alexander vs Crush vs John Cavanagh for the IIW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
Osh gives a wink to Shaun.
Osh: And may the best man win!
The fans fruit with excitement at the announcement while Osh and Shaun face off string each other down.
Mike Fisher: If Crush can defeat Ryan Hawkins tonight and gets added to this Main Event, this is going to be one of the biggest title matches in company history!
As the show begins to transition and we get a wide shot of the now empty ring the commentators are interrupted as the lights go dark and the PA blast the unfamiliar tune of “Heathens” by 21 Pilots.
Scott James: What on earth is this..
As if answering his question four figures emerge from the entrance ramp, the relative new faces that have been making a lot of noise in the last few weeks. The tag team of Against the Grain, Sawyer Wade and Rhett Dawson along with Maverick Tatum and the currently undefeated Beckett Marisol. The four all have a smug look on their faces as they calmly stroll down the ramp. As they do a chorus of boos is heard with several fans tossing trash at them. You can see Maverick has his phone out, as the camera gets a close up you can tell he is live on some social media at the moment.
Mike Fisher: Seems like the fans remember the end of last Mayhem when ATG butted their nose in the end of our main event despite being eliminated from the tag tournament earlier that night!
As they go up the steps Dawson grabs a mic and signals for the music to stop. The lights return to normal and he listens to the chorus of boos, he goes to speak and pauses listening to the boos and smiling. He motions like a conductor would almost encouraging the fans to boo even harder which they gladly accommodate.
Dawson: It’s ok I will forgive you all for your ignorance! I understand that you are all too stupid to know what’s good for you, still I am here to make it official…
He pauses as the boos are starting to be louder than him. After a few seconds they calm down and he continues.
Dawson: Your Salvation has arrived! That’s right what your looking at in the ring is the answers to the problems you didn’t even realize you had. The cure to the cancer that has been killing the wrestling industry for decades now! A sport that was once full of history and honor has turned into a joke!
Mike Fisher: How can they talk about honor after the attack they made last week!
Dawson: You see this industry who used to have locker rooms full of the greatest athletes in the world now bring nothing more than a glorified comedy troupe out each and every week to entertain you dumb fans, who have been feed this for so long you don’t even know what real wrestling is!
The boos grow louder and trash begins to pile up in the ring, you can see Sawyer and Maverick kick some of it out. Beckett is leaning over the top rope and insulting one of the fans in the first row.
Dawson: You think these clowns and idiots dressed up like animals are real wrestlers. This ZOO CREW that is known as the IIW roster! All of them are jokes, disgraces to our industry and the heritage that it represents, The blood men and women spilled to create this sport and it is made a joke of each Mayhem by this company! Its not just this company though, its the entire industry. But its ok, because what you have in the ring represent the SECOND COMING of the golden age, the Salvation of our industry! And it all starts here, I am sure most of you are too stupid to understand how momentous this occasion is but in time hopefully your grand children will be able to explain it to you!
Scott James: Well these guys are a bit full of themselves aren’t they..
Dawson: The Second Coming is here, and the new Era of greatness officially begins here in this mudhole of a city. We started with the freaks Bear-A-Dactyl last week but we are far from done, one by one we will erase the clowns that pretend to be wrestlers from this Industry so this is our first, and final warning to you backstage. We are coming, And to the thousands of idiots here, the millions watching at home and the few dozen of potential real wrestlers being held down by these clowns, Your welcome. Hit our music!
With that “Heathens” Blast again and the four began their exit the boos almost louder than the song.
Scott James: Well seems the Second Coming have arrived and they have a lot of mal intent on their minds. If they are planning to continue what they started last week things may indeed get dangerous around here.
Mike Fisher: If they continue those cowardly attacks maybe but If they are as good as they say I want to see them do it right in the r
[hr] [Match One
Triple Threat Match
Adi Gold vs Jessica Banks vs Jasmine Raye
Mike Fisher: This next one should be a very competitive contest between three up and coming young starlets in this company.
Scott James: I’m sure they’re all great, let’s get these beautiful women out to the ring.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a triple threat match!
GOLD by The Beaches hits over the PA System. The arena lights turn yellowish/gold and Adi heads out from behind the curtain. She raises her arms in the air as she heads towards the ring. Adi slides into the ring under the ropes. She jumps on the second turnbuckle trying to get the crowd involved as she bops her head to the song waiting for the match to begin.
Announcer: Introducing first, she hails from New York City…ADI GOLD!!!
Music sounds, Jessica struts from behind the curtain. She will either have a scowl or a large smile on her face, depending on her mood. The trio then links their arms together, talking trash to many fans. The twins walk to ringside, while Jessica climbs onto the apron. She enters the ring via the middle rope, but very slowly, she even pauses making her butt cheeks shake to the beat of the music.
Announcer: Making their way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California by way of St. Louis, Missouri…JESSICA WATSON!!!
“Redeemer” by Marilyn Manson hit and Jasmine Raye made her way to the ring as the crowd cheered her on.
Announcer: And their opponent, she hails from Brooklyn, New York…JASMINE RAYE!!!!
The bell rang as the three women began to circle the center of the ring. Adi charges at Jasmine and took her down to the mat with a double leg takedown. Adi began to lay right hands into Jasmine’s face before Jessica pulled Adi off and slammed her to the mat by her hair. Jessica hit off of the ropes and landed a quick dropkick on Adi. Jessica went for the cover but before the referee could count to one Adi grabbed Jessica off of Jasmine and tossed her into the turnbuckles. Adi came charging and delivered a nasty lariat to Jessica in the corner. Jessica popped out of the corner winded and was hit with a superkick from Jasmine.
Mike Fisher: That’s quite the deadly combination right there.
Scott James: Shame these two ladies are on opposite sides of the battle rather than a team.
Jessica backtracked to Adi who hit her with a spinning elbow to the face. Jessica turned back again into a dropkick from Jasmine. Jessica went to fall but Adi lifted her up and delivered a backbreaker. Adi went for the cover …1 …Jasmine breaks up the pinfall.
Mike Fisher: There in lies the major challenge in a match like this, there is always someone to break up the pinfall.
Scott James: I mean, if you get rid of both opponents, you get rid of both problems.
Jasmine pulls Adi up and delivers a kick to the gut before bringing her over with a snap suplex. Jasmine motions for the corner but before she can begin to climb the turnbuckles Jessica comes out of nowhere with a step up enziguri. Jasmine falls to a knee where Jessica hits a running knee strike. Jessica goes for the cover …1 …Adi pulls Jessica off by the legs and opens her legs, she steps through…
Mike Fisher: Sharpshooter, Scorpion Deathlock, whatever you want to call this move it’s effective.
Scott James: Jasmine better get to her feet, Jessica looks like she is about to tap.
Jessica waves off the referee but her hand begins to tremble as if it were over. Before the tap could occur Jasmine delivered a running boot to the side of Adi’s face. Jasmine dropped to the mat and covered the stunned Adi …1 …2 …Jessica is somehow able to break up the pinfall. Jessica pulls Jasmine to her feet and begins to hit her with knife edge chops before clotheslining her over the top rope. Adi gets to her feet and grabs Jessica from behind, runs to the ropes and hits her with a springboard bulldog.
Mike Fisher: Beautifully executed!
Scott James: Stratusfaction guaranteed!
The two women lay on the mat as the crowd cheers and the referee begins his ten count. Adi rolls over and drapes her arm over Jessica. …1 …2 …Jasmine pulls the referee out of the ring.
Mike Fisher: You have to wonder if that would have been the end if Jasmine wasn’t able to pull the official out.
Scott James: We will never know and personally I don’t think it’s all that important to think about.
Jasmine slides into the ring and hits an elbow drop on Adi, followed by an elbow drop on Jessica. Jasmine pulls Jessica up and tosses her to the far ropes and brings her down with a thunderous spinebuster. Jasmine goes for the cover …1 …2 …Adi breaks it up.
Mike Fisher: These ladies are going to have to make sure that the third party is incapacitated to get this victory.
Scott James: Thank you very much, Captain Obvious!
Adi and Jasmine climb to their feet and begin to exchange blows as the crowd erupts. Jessica rolls on the mat into a corner to catch her breath. Adi, Jasmine, Adi, Jasmine, Adi, Adi blocks and begins to send Jasmine reeling into the opposing corner. Adi sends Jasmine to the corner where Jessica rested with an Irish Whip, Jasmine sees the opportunity and flips in the air landing a cannonball on Jessica. Jasmine gets back up and runs towards Adi with a spear and connects. Jasmine hooks the leg …1 …2 …kickout!
Mike Fisher: How did Adi Gold get her shoulder up on that one?
Scott James: I guess she doesn’t like being on her back.
Jasmine gets to her feet as the crowd cheers her on. Jessica turns her around and goes for a clothesline but Jasmine ducks, lifts up Jessica and lands an atomic drop. Jessica pops up holding her rear and Jasmine connects with a backstabber. Jasmine goes to cover Jessica …1 …2 …Adi pulls Jasmine up and kicks her in the gut before landing an Implant DDT. Jasmine rolls out of the ring.
Mike Fisher: Perfectly executed! This could be the opening that Adi Gold has been waiting for.
Scott James: Jessica better look out!
Just then Adi lined up perfectly as Jessica got to her feet. Jessica turned and was met with a running scissors kick from Adi.
Mike Fisher: That’s it! She calls that The Gold Rush.
Scott James: Well, Jasmine better rush her ass back into the ring or that’s all she wrote!
Adi covers Jessica …1 …2 …Jasmine slides in but it’s too late, the referee’s hand came slamming down for a 3!
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, ADI GOLD!!!
Adi Gold continues celebrating as she walks up the ramp and then leaves behind the curtain and Jasmine follows her not much time after. Jessica Banks pulls herself up on the ropes and then begins to argue with the referee over the call. After a few moments pass she gets ready to exit the ring until Repent by Halocene blasts over the speakers and the fans erupt with excitement as they remember who song that is.
Mike Fisher: It can’t be is it?
Scott James: You bet your ass it is, a blast from the past has returned.
Do you regret it?”
A voice whispers that as the lights go out in the arena, as a cling sound like coins being tossed in the air is heard. The screen begins to flicker, as a man is showing walking through a forest, tossing three gold coins in the air. He follows a path carrying the coins and a lantern. A woman stands towards the end of his path, as she turns to her. She keeps her head down, as the woman offers her the coins, she inspects them, as she looks down as she begins to kneel. She places her hand on her shoulder as the screen shuts off, and the two appear on the stage, the song begins playing, as Legion turns to the crowd, placing the gold coins in her chest, Ms J standing behind her.
Once more you try to blame me
And you can’t undo how you made me
Our blood does not define us
‘Cause you choose to only deny us
Maybe I pulled us under
Drowning in all my fear
But maybe you made this monster
And it looks too much like a mirror
Legion begins her slow walk down from the top of the apron, as she sways with the music her eyes glowing in the dark. She looks up into the ring where there is no one awaiting her, as she makes her way to the bottom, turning slowly as the beat begins to pick up.
Do you regret it?
‘Cause I can’t forget it
Repent, get on your knees and beg
Somewhere in there, you remember
(You know what you did)
Repent, get on your knees and beg
As she climbs the stairs, she slowly slides into the ring, with red spotlights on her. She cackles slightly, as she looks at Jessica Banks with a smirk and then grabs her an instantly hits her finisher Shattered Realms!!!!
Mike Fisher: Legion just laid out Jessica Banks.
Scott James: Welcome back Legion, hail to the Queen!
[hr] Match Two
Hardcore Championship
Hardcore Match
Stoner vs Max Stone ©
The opening bass line of N.I.B. by Black Sabbath plays quietly as an image of a smiling Max Stone slowly fades in. The guitar plays as golden pyrotechnics shoot from the stage floor.
Oh yeah!
Max Stone emerges from the curtain with a smile on his face and walks down the aisle pointing to the fans and singing the lyrics to his theme song. He enters the ring and slowly raises his arms, expecting the energy of the crowd to ascend. He removes his jacket and gets ready for his match.
I hope you die by the bloodhound gang hits the PA system. Smoke begins to rise from the entrance ramp as Stoner bursts through the curtain. He makes his way down the ramp and pauses before he slides into the ring.
Scott – What’s he doing?
Mike – I have no idea.
Scott – His short term memory is pretty sketchy. Do you think he forgot what he is out here for?
Mike – There is no way.
Stoner doesn’t get into the ring right away; he leans down and crawls under the ring. Max is looking all around confused. He is checking every side but Stoner is nowhere to be seen. Max steps through the ropes onto the apron. Stoner rolls out from under the ring under Max Stone holding a kendo stick. Stoner jumps to his feet and swings hard into the back of Max. Max screams out in pain then drops off the apron to the floor. Stoner lines up and cracks Max across the head with the kendo stick breaking it in half. Stone falls back, not moving as blood starts to run down his face.
Mike – What a shot. Max is already bleeding and the match hasn’t officially started yet.
Scott – Max Stone will be feeling that for weeks. Stoner wanted to send a message early.
Stoner rolls back under the ring. Max Stone is down on the outside of the ring but moving. Suddenly smoke starts to come out from under the ring. The ref starts coughing a bit from the smoke. Max Stone rolls over and uses the barricade to pull himself off. Stone gets to his feet and is looking for Stoner. From across the ring Stoner pops up landing on the apron but he is now dressed as Freddy Kruger. Stoner holds his glove high in the air and the fans are going wild. He uses his other hand to point at Max Stone and ask him to bring it on. Stone laughs and nods then slides into the ring. Stoner steps through the ropes into the ring. The ref calls for the bell.
Scott – Someone is bleeding, Stoner went under the ring and caused a ton of smoke to come out, and changed his attire and the match is just not starting.
Mike – Do you think he started a fire down there?
Scott – No Mike I don’t.
Stoner holds out his Freddy glove and charges at Max. Max drops down hitting a drop toe hold causing Stoner to land head first into the turnbuckle. Max gets up and stomps the back of Stoner’s head. Max rolls under the bottom rope and reaches under the ring. Stoner leans through the ropes and grabs the head of Max. Max quickly pulls a fire extinguisher from under the ring and blasts Stoner in the face with it, sending white powder smoke everywhere. Stoner falls backwards holding his eyes. Max quickly reaches under the ring pulling put a steel trash can that’s filled with other weapons. Max throws its over the top rope and then slides back into the ring.
Mike – This is pure chaos here. Kendo sticks, gloves with knives on it, a fire extinguisher, now a trash can filled with weapons. What more can these 2 take?
Scott – I honestly don’t know but I’m here for it.
Max grabs the trash can off the ring mat and dumps it out. A night stick, kendo stick, no parking sign, cheese grater, and a VCR all fall out. Max holds the trash can high and brings it down full force onto the head of Stoner. Stoner falls back to the mat hard. Max quickly puts the trash can over Stoner. Max runs to the corner and imbs to the top rope. He takes his hands and smears the blood on his face then jumps off the top rope dropping a huge leg onto the trash can that’s over Stoner. Stoner is rolling around the ring kicking his legs. Max grabs him, hooking the leg and making the pin. The ref slides down to make the count.

KICKOUT
Mike – HOW?
Scott – Look Mike we all saw that smoke come from under the ring. Stoner is doing just fine right now.
Max gets up and grabs the no parking sign. He lays it on the groin of Stoner then runs back hitting the ropes and charges at Stoner delivering a baseball slide to the sign on Stoner’s balls. Stoner is screaming holdinding himself and rolling around the ring. Max Stone picks up the VCR and holds it high before placing it in the center of the ring. Max quickly picks up Stoner and hits a huge pump handle driver, driving Stoners head right though the VCR sending plastic pieces and buttons all over the ring.
Mike – RENEGADE SPIKE.
Scott – Onto a VCR of all things. Stoner with have a pause button on the middle of his forehead for days.
Max Stone quickly hooks the leg as the ref counts.

Mike – AND STILLLLLLLLLLL YOUR HARDCORE CHAMPION MAXXXXX STONEWEEEEE
Scott – Wow what a match. Max did what he said he was going to do.
The ref leans outside of the ring getting the hardcore title then handing it to Stone. Stone throws it over his shoulder and climbs the ropes. He is smacking the belt over his shoulder and taking it all the adulation from the fans. Max hops down and walks to the middle of the ring. He kisses the hardcore title than places it in the middle of the ring. He then steps through the ropes leaving the ring. He walks up the ramp and leaves.
Mike – What did we just see here? He fought like hell to win the match. Seemed really happy then dropped the title and just left.
Scott – It’s certainly odd. I mean it doesn’t change the fact that he is the hardcore champion.
Mike – The way things change around here who really knows what it could mean. Guess everyone will need to stay turned to IIW to see what happens next with Max Stone.
Scott – I need to know what he is thinking.
Michael Morrison is standing backstage
MM:Ladies and Gentlemen my guest today is former Uprising champion John Tolly, now John it has been a week since you lost the uprising title, how are you feeling?
Tolly shots him a look
John:Lets get ONE thing straight, I lost NOTHING! Iron Wolf never pined me!
MM: Well the rules of a fatal four way clearly state..
John cuts him off
John:Yeah yeah yeah, I know what the rules state, but the fact remains Iron Wolf is walking around with that belt without ever having beaten the former champ. If you want to truly
call yourself the Uprising champion, why not prove it? Why not step in the ring with me one on one in a wrestling match! No tripple threat, no fatal four way, just me and you.
prove you got more balls than Sean Raines.
MM:Yeah I was just about to ask you about that, a few weeks ago after he attacked you, you challanged him to a one on one traditional wrestling match and he has yet to answer,do
you think he’s playing mind games with you.
Tolly chuckles
John:Oh i’m sure he thinks he his, but i think we all know the truth, Sean is a one trick pony, get him away from the hardcore deathmatch scene and he doesn’t know what to do.
He smirks
John:Don’t worry Sean i’ll be patient waiting for you to show me what I already know, that you are nothing but a coward and a bitch! Prove me wrong Sean!
he looks at Michael
John:This interview is over
[hr] Match Three
Six Man Tag Team Match
ATG ( Rhett Dawson, Sawyer Wade and Maverick Tatum) vs Team Olympus and Ryan McCann
The lights in the arena dim as smoke is released at the top of the entrance ramp. The lights all tint blue and the song “Natural” by Imagine Dragons begin to fill the arena. The fans react with a loud chorus of boos, some even tossing trash at the entrance as the song begins.
Will you hold the line
When every one of them has given up and given in? Tell me
In this house of mine
Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost, tell me
Will the stars align?
Will heaven step in? Will it save us from our sin, will it?
‘Cause this house of mine stands strong
After the first 30 seconds or so of the song plays we finally see the tag team of Rhett Dawson and Sawyer Wade, collectively known as ATG, exit from the back. Both men are wearing sleevless trench coats made of leather, buttoned up tightly in the front with a hood attached. Both men have their hood up covering their face in the shadow. Once at the top of the entrance ramp they pause looking back and fourth waiting for the song to pick up a bit.
That’s the price you pay
Leave behind your heart and cast away
Just another product of today
Rather be the hunter than the prey
That takes about another 10 or so seconds and once it does the duo remove there hoods and shout a bit. Nothing that can really be heard or understood. Sawyer points directly at the camera and does a cut throat taunt, meanwhile his partner Rhett turns his back to the Camera and exposes the design on the back that says “ATG” in big letters and under it Against the Grain. Sawyer then takes the moment to point to each letter of the logo (ATG) and then Rhett turns and the duo give each other an elbow bump before they begin to stroll towards the ring.
And you’re standing on the edge face up
‘Cause you’re a natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
To make it in this world
Yeah, you’re a natural
Living your life cutthroat
You gotta be so cold
Yeah, you’re a natural
As they stroll down the ramp they take a moment to taunt fans along the way. Insulting them and ripping up signs. Once next to the ring they stand next to each other and in unison jump on the apron as they do Pyro fires off of each turnbuckle. The two then enter the ring going to seperate corners standing on the middle turn buckle and continuing bickering with the fans while they raise their arms in the air.
Will somebody
Let me see the light within the dark trees shadowing?
What’s happening?
Looking through the glass find the wrong within the past knowing
Oh, we are the youth
Cut until it bleeds inside a world without the peace, face it
A bit of the truth, the truth
The lights then return to normal as the two then hop down from the turnbuckle and head to their corner preparing for their upcoming match.
Hercules and Sawyer Wade start out the match. Hercules is very timid at tying up with Wade. He hesitates, he goes in, and backs off. He finally reaches in and Wade swings with a right hand and Hercules ducks out of the ring. Wade stands in the ring waving his hand for Hercules to bring it back in the ring. Hercules slowly climbs back up on to the apron. He once again slowly hesitates getting into the ring, teasting going in, then backs and teases and back and forth for a bit. Finally out of nowhere, Maverick runs along the apron and clotheslines the back of Hercules’s head and sends him flipping into the ring. Sawyer Wade stands up Hercules and chops his chest, and again, and again. Wade irish whips him into the ropes and connects with a sidewalk slam. Hercules gets to his feet and east a right hand from Wade. Wade lands quite a few punches to the jaw of Hercules, runs to the ropes and charges back with a dropkick. Maverick reaches out for the tag, but Wade doesn’t tag him in yet. Wade puts Hercules in the Suplex position, gets him up, Hercules tries to get out but Wade turns Hercules’s body aroud mid arm and in one swift mood puts him in a running powerslam position and slams him down to the mat.
Mike Fisher: Sawyer Wade jerks around Hercules in mid air and lands a nice move
Scott James: (about to speak)
Mike: dont go there.
Sawyer Wade walks over and tags in Maverick Tatum. Tatum runs into the ring, catches Hercules hits an armdrag, follows it up with a T-Bone Suplex, then delivers a Drop Toe hold to Hercules, grabs Herculess and locks in a dragon sleep like position but with his strength, Tatum flips Hercules body upside down in the air and drops a brainbuster like move.he runs to the ropes springboards off with a moonsault! Goes for the pin

Zeus kicks the back of Tatums head to break up the count.Tatum and Zeus stare each other down a bit. Tatum picks up Hercules and whips him into his corner into the boot of Wade. Tatum holds Hercules into the corner and tags in Wade. Tatum whips Hercules into one of the other corners. Sawyer Wade walks to the opposite corner and charges at Hercules and hits a high knee to the jaw of Hercules and then whips him to Tatum.who is springboarding off the ropes and in one swoop hits the bulldog on Hercules.
Scott James: Hercules needs to make a tag here in a big way.
Hercules tries to crawl over to Zeus who is begging for the tag, but Wade grabs on to Hercules�s leg. Lifts up the knee and drops it down hard on the mat. Wade locks in a Full Nelson. Ryan McCann has clearly had enough of this and he jumps into the ring and starts pounding away on Sawyer Wade… this causes the full fracas as Rhett Dawson and Maverick jump in as well as the full brawl ensues in the middle of the ring, Rhett Dawson grabs Ryan McCann and LAUNCHES him over the top rope, following him out the two of them begin to brawl away at the side throwing literally anything they can get their hands on. Ryan McCann takes a blow of the ring bell to the face as he staggers around…..Then suddenly his tag partner from Pretty Technical Chris Norton dives in from the barricade jaw breaking Rhett’s face off his head bouncing him back as he grabs Ryan McCann and helps pull him into the crowd
Back in the ring Wade keeps the Full Nelson in, Hercules has gotten to his feet. He looks like he’s trying to break the hold and not get to the ropes or his partner. Zeus has his hand reached out as far as she can. Hercules is in reaching distance but he isn’t making the tag. He lifts up his leg and thrust back hitting a lowblow to Wade, that the referee some how didn’t see. Hercules has the chance to make the tag…making it Zeus gets climbs to the top rope, Zeus nails Sawyer Wade with a diving tope stumbling him back towards the rope he tags in the recovering Rhett Dawson
Rhett puts Zeus up on to the top ropes of what was Zues’s corner. He leaves him up there and walks over and points to Maverick. Maverick Tatum steps into the ring. Wade stands near Zeus, but has his back to him. Maverick points at Wade, he runs towards Wade and Wade grabs his and launches Tatum into the air and Tatum catches Hercules from the top rope and hits a DDT from the top rope!
Mike Fisher: Great Team work!
While both men are in the ring Wade sets Zeus up for his sling shot powerbomb, but as he bounces back Rhett is in position. Grabbing Zeus he performs the WING SNAPPER.
Scott James: They call that Destiny’s Edge… and this one is in their destiny!
The referee makes the pin

Standard Tag Team Match
El Landerson and Aaliyah Landerson vs Gangsters Of Christ
The bell rings as El Landerson lets Aliyah begin the match, whilst on the other side Jethro is the man to start the contest.
Daniels: The fans making a huge amount of noise here as they get to see Aliyah Landerson and Jethro Dawson squaring off.
Aliyah gets slightly more chants than Jethro however it is close. Finally they square off as Jethro grabs him in a headlock but Aliyah uses her speed and agility to place a foot on the second rope and springboard himself hitting a modified judo throw on Jethro as hes forced to release the hold. Both of them square off again as Aliyah quickly manoeuvres round behind Jethro and hits a back suplex. Aliyah acknowledges the crowd as they begin chanting her name once more.
Mike Fisher: Aliyah getting the early advantage here and the fans know it.
Scott James: Stop posing to the crowd you vain buffoon and keep your eyes on your opponent.
Jethro climbs back to his feet as Gabriel shouts words at him, Jethro grimmacing in frustration as he lunges in with a right hand, catching Aliyah right on the jaw and knocking her back into the corner. Jethro hits a second, then a third with venom as Aliyah gets propelled over the ropes but lands on the apron. Michael Dawson begins to walk over to Landerson who gets distracted.
Jethro grabs Aliyah and pulls her back over the ropes then hits a Scoop slam. Aliyah winces in pain as El Landerson bellows at her, teling her to keep his mind on the match. Jethro drags Aliyah over to his corner and tags in his Brother. In comes Gabriel who stomps on the outstretched leg of Landerson.
Mike Fisher: Look at that, working on the limb of his opponent. Watch this man wrestle, it’s impressive. It’s like artwork.
Scott James: Yes, Jethro and Gabriel seem to be on the right page at the moment.
Gabriel continues to work on the right leg of Aliyah, dropping sharp elbow drops onto it. Gabriel now picks Landerson up only to hit a chop block on the back of his leg. Aliyah rolls around in pain as she rolls over to his partner, El Landerson. Gabriel grabs her though before he can make it to this corner, lifting him up and hitting a knee breaker. Gabriel goes for the cover, but only gets a one count.
LET’S GO ALIYAH…LET’S GO ALIYAH…LET’S GO ALIYAH.
Gabriel just smirks at the fans as he continues the punishment, rolling to the outside and slamming the right leg of Landerson across the apron. Gabriel now drags Landerson over to the turnpost and smashes her leg into the steel frame.
Mike Fisher: Aliyah Landerson is going to have trouble walking after this punishment. Gabriel obviously had a game plan coming into this match.
Gabriel walks over to Jethro who whispers in his ear, then Michael joins in. Gabriel smirks and rolls back into the ring. He grabs Landerson and goes for a figure four leg lock. Landerson kicks Gabriel off as he goes shoulder first into the corner post. Aliyah Landerson tries to drag herself over to El Landerson who reaches out. Gabriel is back on the scene though as he grabs Aliyah Landerson’s leg, Landerson making it back to her feet on one leg as Gabriel holds onto the other.
Mike Fisher: ENSIGURI!!
Scott James: Ahh!! Gabriel just got his million dollar smile knocked clean off there.
Gabriel gets back to his feet as does Aliyah, who hits Gabriel with a right, then another, then a third – NO Gabriel ducks and swings behind Landerson…
Mike Fisher: JUDGEMENT DAY!
Scott James: Perfectly executed.
Mike Fisher: Gabriel goes for the cover…

Gabriel lifts Landerson up who fights back, elbow to the gut of Gabriel, then again, Landerson now limps off towards the ropes and comes back…

Mike Fisher: The Gangsters of Christ pick up the win!
After the match Gangsters of Christ continue celebrating in the ring as their father Michael Dawson begins to walk up the steel steps Zeus from Team Olympus comes out of nowhere and knocks Michael off the steps and hits the barricade hard and Gabriel and Jethro get ready to hit the outside of the ring and confront Zeus but Hercules comes up behind them and lays the both out with a steel chair.
Mike Fisher: What the hell is going on here?
Scott James: Looks like Team Olympus is looking to.make a statement after coming up short in their debut match earlier tonight.
Zeus makes his way in the ring and then they put the boots to The Gangsters of Christ for a minute and then they both pull down their wrestling straps and stalk both brothers as they get up on their feet and Team Olympus hits the Fall From Olympus: Angle Slam at the same time and then lock in The Wrath of Zeus: Angle Lock on both brothers and Team Olympus applies more pressure as they have both brothers in the center of the ring. After a few moments they let go and request a microphone.
Zeus: Let this be message to everyone in the Tag Team discus on that are earlier match does not represent us at all. We are an elite tag team, No! We are God Level Tag Team Talent and right now you are seeing it, just as The Gangster Of Christ are experiencing it.
Hercules: We are here to bring Tag Team Wrestling back to the Olympic respect it once had and we are making this sorry excuse for a family let alone a Tag Team are example!
As they get ready to exit Michael Dawson gets in the ring to check on his boys but Team Olympus steps back in the ring and doubles team Michael Dawson. Hercules lifts Michael up on his shoulders while Zeus heads to the top rope and then hits their finisher Olympic Finish (Steinerizer).
Mike Fisher: Just a disgusting act by Team Olympus tonight.
Scott James: They made sure to leave an everlasting impression on the fans and of course The Gangsters of Christ.
Mike Fisher: There will be hell to oy I can bet you that.
Fred Debonairs house October 31st 2022.
A black van comes to a screeching haunt in front of the house. The door opens and Jonny C gets out of the van. Jonny is wearing black tactical pants tucked into black tactical boots with a blackl t-shirt. Over the t-shirt is a black bulletproof vest with the punisher skull painted onto it. He has a belt with a holster and with a gun on it on one side and some grenades on the other.
Jonny walks to the back of the van and opens the doors.
Jonny C – Happy Halloween IIW universe. Tonight promises to bring spooky fun for everyone. It’s one of my favorite nights of the year. You can be anyone you want to be and play pretend. Plus you get free candy. Look, I even have a gun.
Jonny pulls his gun out and points it at Fred’s house. Jonny laughs, turning the gun showing its orange tip.
Jonny C – Calm down everyone, it’s a toy. Come on this is a wrestling show there is no need to have people breaking into houses or guns on it right. What is this the 90s?
Jonny turns to look into the camera and winks and smiles.
Jonny C – OK so I know Fred isn’t home because he is booked to be on Mayhem tonight so I have the house all to myself. I’ve been racking my brain on what to do here tonight. Judging by how Fred acts I bet he is the asshole who gives erasers out for Halloween. Ah well I do so fuck it. After much thought I’m going to go old-school tonight. Come look.
Jonny walks to the back of the Van and opens the doors. Stacked in the back is about 30 cartons of eggs, 50 rolls of toilet paper, shaving cream and 1 brown paper bag labeled dog shit.
Jonny – I was always a fan of Halloween but you know what night I liked better. Devils night! Some know it as mischief night, gate night, moving night but it’s all the same. You go out and cause chaos. In a fun but insanely annoying way. Like this, follow me.
Jonny quickly loads a duffle bag with a few cartons of eggs and some toliet paper. Jonny runs into the front yard of Fred’s house. He is laughing hysterically. He places the bag down and pulls out a carton of eggs, opens it and begins throwing them at Fred’s house.
Jonny C – DIRECT HIT. I still got it baby.
Jonny is launching eggs at a fever pitch. He is crying from laughing. He has completely painted the front of Fred’s house with eggs.
Jonny C – Suck it asshole. Have fun cleaning that mess up. Not enough though and if I keep doing it along this will take forever.
Jonny runs out into the steep and stops a bunch of kids that are out trick or treating.
Jonny C – Hey kids. So I went up to this house behind me with my daughter and the dude that lives there was giving out toothbrushes.
All the kids groan.
Jonny C – Yeah I know. He is the worst. So to get back at him we are going to have some Halloween fun. Every grab toilet paper, eggs or shaving cream and just goes nuts on his house ok.
The kids all scream and start grabbing stuff. 3 kids run over and start launching toilet paper into Fred’s trees. Jonny and a group are throwing eggs like crazy. One kid is using the shaving cream to make phallic shapes on Fred’s windows.
Jonny C – There you go man. That looks awesome. Fred’s never seen one so big.
Jonny grabs some toilet paper and starts throwing it over Fred’s house as well as all over the front lawn. Jonny steps back watching the kids absolutely dominate Fred’s house. He is nodding and smiling.
Jonny C – Thanks guys. You all did amazing.
The kids high 5 Jonny then run off into the night laughing. Jonny goes to his van and gets the bag of dog poop. Jonny carries the back to Fred’s front door and places it on the front step. Jonny turns away from the camera facing Fred’s house and unzips his pants and relieves himself on Fred’s front door. He quickly finishes then turns back to the bag of poop. He pulls out a lighter and lights the bag of fire and runs away cackling like a child. He quickly gets into his van.
Jonny C – Fred I hope you like what I did to the place. Personally I think it looks fucking awesome.
Jonny laughs then yells Happy Halloween as he throws the van in drive and peels out away from the camera as the screen fades to black.
[hr] Match Five
International #1 Contender Match
Standard Singles Match
Knox vs Eoin O’Rourke
Mike Fisher: I hope you’ve been enjoying the show and are ready for more action as Purge member Knox goes one on one with Eoin O’Rourke who has aligned himself with The Celtic Club.
Scott James; He’s also coming off what some are calling a breakout performance against Blade Alexander in defeat.
Mike Fisher: Yes he didn’t get the job done but he look damn impressive until Bam and Fred got involved and cost him what some believe would be been a career win for him in IIW, but even with that victory slipping through his fingers he still finds himself in a number one contenders match for a chance at The International Championship at Explosion!
His music plays over the speakers and he walks out with hardcore look on his face as he marges to the ring and stomps on the steel steps before entering the ting. He walks over to the corner and waits on his opponent.
Mike Fisher: Knox looks ready to redeem himself and get The Purge closer to Championship Gold.
Lights dim in the arena as guitar rifts in the arena. Then as the music reaches a high point-
“OH!”
-A sole light shines on the stage with Eoin O’Rourke standing on the stage with his eyes closed, arms stretched wide and hands open-
“Its a smoke and mirror’s. It’s a day in day out prison,
You’re living in, it’s smothering the power in you.”
-Eoin opens his eyes and lowers his arms and begins marches down the ramp-
“When the world’s out of control
And time is always racing
Everybody has a place
Where they can let it go”
-Eoin makes it to ringside and he stands in front of the ring. He begins cracking his neck and hopping on the sides, then he dives into the ring and rolls to stand back up with his arms stretched again with a green spotlight over him-
Alice Goldier: Making his way to the ring, he weighs in at 245 lbs, I give you Eoin O’Rourke!!!!
“And fall into the feeling
Take a breath and never leave it
When the world is overwhelming
Just close your eyes, you’ll find the
Strength to seize the day
Nothing standing in your way
Just fall into the feeling
Take a breath, it’s time to let it go
It’s time to let it go”
-Eoin lowers his arms and walks around the ring, taking off his jacket and readying for the match-
Mike Fisher: He looks ready to go to war tonight.
Scott James: Definitely a look of a man that’s on a mission!
*Bell Rings*
The two big men circle each other around the ring as they stare each other down before locking up and for a minute neither budges until Eoin looks to take the edge and starts backing Knox up in the corner and then lets him go and follows up with a European uppercut and then an elbow drop to head of Knox. Eoin then follows up with a shoulder thrust into his gut and then backs up off him as the referee counts to four.
Mike Fisher: Eoin is very aggressive from the start but has to play this smart and not get himself disqualified.
Scott James: Yeah I know he would hate to lose a Championship opportunity because of his own aggression. He needs to remain focus on the task at hand.
As Knox stumbles out of the corner, Eoin scoops him up for a body slam and then drops him hard on the mat and follows up with a massive leg drop across the chest of Knox and then goes for the cover quickly.
One..
Tw…KICKOUT!!!
Mike Fisher: Not nearly enough damage to keep the former NFL player down.
Eoin picks Knox up in a powerbomb position and then plants him down with a powerbomb but holds unto Knox again and power bombs him again and again!! He then lifts him up and walks towards the turnbuckle and launches Knox with a buckle bomb!!! But Eoin does let up as he stomps him down in the corner and then lifts him back up and tosses him across the ring with a belly-to-belly suplex.
Mike Fisher: I’ve never seen such a one-sided dominant performance like this in some time now.
Scott James: Eoin is sending a message to not only CCPE but to the entire locker room that he is a heavy hitter and a force to be reckoned with.
Knox gets up in pain but still willing to fight as he puts his fist up and turns around but only to be greeted by a serious big boot that almost takes his head off his shoulders. Eoin then beats on his chest as he walks around the ring and then sizes up Knox as he stumbles to his feet and hits Knox with the Irish Car Bomb!! O’Rourke holds Knox aist and then deadlifts him hoisting him up on his shoulders. After this, he twists himself around the ring and then drops down to the mat, taking his opponent down and they land their backs onto his knees and quickly goes for the cover.
One…
Two…
Three!!!
Alice Goldier: Here is your winner by pinfall and the new number one Contender for the International Championship, Eoin O’Rourke!!!!
Eoin O’Rourke celebrates in the ring as the referee raises his hand.
Mike Fisher: What a dominant performance by Eoin O’Rourke.
Scott James: PG-13 and Jmont both ahead to be watch as this man could face either one of them at explosion.
the camera is rolling and we see a dark room with nothing but with a small candle in the middle
Questions..
Questions..
Questions.
Nemeth laughs
That’s what i hate about humans.
They stick their noses and pride where they shouldn’t.
Now…
You may be asking yourself..
Who is this guy?
What does he want?
What are his true motives?
More and more…
Questions.
I’m not obligated to..
Give answers.
I won’t give any.
The only thing i can say…
Is i have burned cities.
Forests.
Wrestling federations.
For my own.
Personal.
Fun.
But that’s enough about me.
Let’s get serious.
Nemeth starts walking towards the camera and the cameraman starts to shake
You know the vessel’s name.
But you will never understand.
Who i really am.
But maybe..
Just..
Maybe..
You’ll find out..
Soon.
Nemeth punches the camera hard and it lands to a point od view that we see Him slowly strangle the cameraman and throws him head first into a wall where his head explodes.
That’s only a taste.
Nemeth writes something on the wall with the cameraman’s blood
XIXIVMMXXII.
Tick.
Tock.
Embrace the end.
Embrace The Darkness.
And after his words he destroys the camera with a powerful kick and a strange symbol appears on the screen for a brief moment
End of transmission

TJ Alexander vs Equinsu Ocha
DING DING DING
TJ Alexander steps forward and extends his hand in an over-exagerrated way for a handshake. Equinsu shakes his head no
Scott James: Does he really think he’s going to fall for that, he’s got a shocker in his palm, Ocha isn’t an idiot
Mike Fisher: Cynical, so cynical, he is offering his hand for a fair and decent match, that’s all.
TJ Alexander keeps the hand proffered and nods towards it, gesturing for him to take the hand. Ocha looks wary and steps closer to the hand,holding out his own
Ocha brings his hand forward and, fast as lightning, slaps it off TJ Alexander’s palm, when he doesn’t get shocked TJ Alexander nods and Ocha slaps his hand fast again. Still no shock. He tries a few times in succession, and when he realises no shock is coming, he takes TJ Alexander’s hand and nods at him. He goes to pull his hand away but TJ Alexander keeps a grip, looking right in to Ocha’s eyes and whips him in hard to his body planting him with a body to body suplex
Ocha’s leg twitches and TJ Alexander prods locks him into a leg lock as he wrenches back trying to get Ocha to tap, Frustrated by Ocha’s unwillingness to tap, TJ legs go letting Ocha limp up back to his feet
The competitors circle a bit and lock up with TJ taking control with a snapmare. Leon quickly gets to his feet but TJ Alexander has closed the gap, connecting with a solid jab to the jaw. A knife-edge chop draws a loud WOOOOOO! from the crowd and backs Equinsu Ocha against the ropes.
TJ Alexander in control, Irish whip…Equinsu Ocha on the rebound…BIG sidewalk slam from TJ Alexander! With authority! Jackson up…hits the near side…BIG elbow drop! And theres the quick cover!

Equinsu quickly rolls over, driving forearm shots to the head of the prone TJ Alexander before quickly hopping to his feet. He delivers a vicious stomp to his midsection which causes him to sit up, and then quickly bounds to the near side, rebounding off the ropes and connecting with a NASTY running Soccer kick to his lower back! The fans jeer!
Equinsu Ocha stomps away at TJ Alexander, keeping him down, an almost manic look on his face. He hops to the second turnbuckle, pointing at TJ Alexander before leaping off with a leg-drop! Which TJ Alexander evades!
* THUD! *
Mike Fisher: Nobody home there for that leg-drop! TJ Alexander now with an opportunity to rally!
Both men get to their feet and Equinsu Ocha takes a swing, which Jackson blocks before delivering a punch of his own. Again Equinsu Ocha strikes, and again TJ Alexander blocks before tagging Equinsu Ocha with another stiff punch. Somewhat punch-drunk, Equinsu Ocha throws a wild swing, but Jackson ducks, gripping Leon and lifting him up for a back suplex, only to transition it into an uranage, PLANTING Equinsu Ocha!

Alicia: Your winnnnnnnnnnnnner…. TJ ALEXANDER!
The camera cuts backstage where we see the group of young stars now known as Second Coming together, they are discussing the events of the night when another figure walks up on the group. He is a few inches taller, slim with a long beard and wearing a Tricone hat.
Man: Ahoy Matey! The great and noble Scoundrel of the Sea, the Savvy Jack Tyde has finally made it!!
He takes of his tricone and with a large flourish he takes a bow. The group look dumbfounded, finally Sawyer speaks.
Sawyer: What the hell you doing here Tyde! You do realize this isn’t the cosplay rodeo your wrestle at right?
Tyde: Aye Matey, I have gone on to bigger and better, where the sea is calm, the wind is always at your back and the booty is plentiful!
He reaches behind him and pulls out what appears to be an old scroll, rolled up with a large red ribbon on it. He unties the ribbon and lets it unfold showing it to the group, Beckett is the first to speak with a sigh.
Beckett: Its an IIW contract, how on earth..
Tyde: It appears that Carter Invitational we won a few weeks back got me the attention of the big time! I am here just in time to help you bring fourth the gold age, baton the hatches and prepare for a rough ride the king of the High Tide..,
Rhett waves his hands widely interrupting Tyde.
Rhett: Stop, just stop Jack. Look if you have any sense you know its people like you that we are here to put out of commission! You helped us in the Invitational and Carter seems to like you some so for that I am going to let you walk away and if you leave us alone we will save you for last. But there is no way your joining us..
Tyde: But I brought friends!
Out of no where right behind Maverick appears a young girl, her hair is wild and face is half painted. Her eyes are almost pure grey and she loudly announces herself
Girl: BOO!
Maverick jumps and runs behind Beckett, shouting as he does
Maverick: Get her away from me! Shes crazy!
She lets out a large cackling laugh as he shivers in fear.
Tyde: Aye the sultry siren of the sea, Shanti’ will aid us in our journey..
Rhett: NO, you and this crazy chick do whatever you want. We have work to do tonight, and whatever this is doesn’t have anything to do with us.
Rhett nods and the group begin to leave the locker room leaving both Tyde and his Valet Shanti looking a bit confused as we return to ringside.
The arena goes black and candelabras light randomly around the building as Creep by Radiohead {lucifer version) picks up slowly over the PA system Up on the Tron we see a faint light cast over a burnt face. The owner of the face leans back in an opulent leather chair and the candles near him flicker as he slides on a mask….
The Tron flashes….

Standard Tag Team Match
Beckett Merisol and Ada Pierce vs Denise Diamond and Apathy
Mike Fisher: Up next the Women’s Division looks to show the men how it’s really done and we have a must-see match from them tonight as the Women’s Champion Ada Pierce teams up with impressive Beckett Merisol as they look to take on the returning Apathy that’s been away on suspension and the returning Denise Diamond.
Scott James: Should be a great one for the fans here in New Orleans tonight on Halloween.
Mike Fisher: Well there will be some tricks tonight but I think all the fans will leave with treated tonight from the performance they get from these women.
Scott James: You can see the fans are already excited for tonight.
Mike Fisher: Well they won’t have to wait long as the ladies have made their way out and are ready to get this thing going.
The Champion Ada Pierce starts things off for her team as she faces off against a familiar face from her First Class days Denise Diamond. They circle each other in the ring before Ada shoots for the legs and takes Denise down to the mat and quickly transitions to an armbar in the middle of the ring but Denise quickly pulls herself to the ropes and Ada is forced to break the hold while Denise scrambles to the outside and tries to fix her hair but gets a death scare from her partner Apathy and Denise quickly smiles and returns back inside the ring and Ada meets her with a running bulldog as she plants Denise face first into the mat and goes for a quick cover.
One
Apathy comes in to break up the pin as she kicks Ada in the head and then drags Denise over to her corner and makes the tag. Ada gets up on her feet but gets taken right back down from Apathy with a closeline. As Ada gets abc up again Apathy slings her into the corner and then Apathy comes charging in with a big body splash and follows it up with a sidewalk slam and goes for a quick cover but Ada quickly gets the shoulder up.
Mike Fisher: Fast start to this match and have seen them try to end it just as fast with two pinfalls attempted already.
Scott James: Yeah both teams were looking to make a statement by getting a quick win but looks like they’ll have to grind it out a lot longer.
Mike Fisher: No easy wins in the IIW.
Apathy lifts Ada by the hair but Ada fires off with a series of punches and kicks to get Apathy down to one knee and then hits a snap DDT and hits the ropes and comes back with a standing shooting star press and goes for a quick cover as the referee gets in position.
One…
Tw… No
Apathy tosses Ada across the ring as she launches her off of her. Ada pulls herself up on the ropes and tries to regain focus but Apathy comes running in with a wicked Big boot that sends Ada stumbling towards the ropes and Apathy just lay into her with hard chops to the chest over and over again until the Champion drops to her knees and then Apathy kicks her through the ropes and then begin talking trash to Beckett. Beckett goes to check on Ada but the prideful Champion pulls away from her and forces herself back inside the ring.
Mike Fisher: The Champion showing too much pride with not accepting help from her partner.
Scott James: She’s the Champion for a reason, she doesn’t need any help.
Ada walks up to Apathy and starts talking trash and then delivers a thunderous headbutt to Apathy that splits her forehead open with a cut that sends blood rushing out but it doesn’t seem to have that much effect as Apathy swings wildly at Ada who dodges by dropping down and hitting a split and then takes Apathy off her feet as she swipes her legs from under here.
Mike Fisher: The Champ has switched the momentum in this match.
Scott James: I told she was the Champion for a reason!
Ada goes to the top of the turnbuckle now and stands all the way up and launches herself off and hits a Swanton bomb on Apathy but doesn’t go for the cover as she Kay’s there out of it from the landing and now both women are down.
Mike Fisher: The action has been nonstop but now we find ourselves at a pause as they try to recover.
Scott James: The one that gets up first and makes a move towards their corner will give their team a serious advantage.
Ada begins to crawl to her corner and so does Apathy. The fans get loud in the arena as the build up to the hot tag gets overwhelming. As the fans get ready to jump out there seats Ada and Apathy make the hot tags to their partners. Beckett and Denise both come flying in and Denise goes for a close line but Beckett dodges it and strikes Denise with quick punches and kicks that sends her staggering and then Beckett follows up with a knee trigger and then a snap suplex to bring Denise down to the mat .
Mike Fisher: Beckett looking as impressive as ever.
Scott James: She’s always does and riding a wave of momentum after getting that victory last Mayhem.
Beckett kicks herself up and looks for a super kick as Denise turns around but Denise ducks and catches Beckett with a super kick of her own and then follows up with a European uppercut that rocks Beckett.
Mike Fisher: Denise put some mustard on that one.
Denise then follows up with a running knee to the face of Beckett that sends her flying back into the corner but Ada rushes in on Denise looking for a spinning heel kick but Denise ducks and hits a snap suplex on The Champion. Ada rolls outside and Denise tries to follow her but Beckett grabs her by the hair and hits a neck breaker. Ada goes by the commentary table and takes her IIW Women’s Championship and looks to head back inside the ring.
Mike Fisher: The Champ looks to be done following the rules.
Beckett and Denise’s trade punches in the middle of the ring as Ada comes in behind Denise the referee gets distracted by Apathy that tries to get back inside the ring and warn Denise but it’s too late Ada goes to smash Denise over the head with the Championship belt but Denise drops out of the way and instead, Ada smashes her own partner Beckett in the face and kays her out cold. Ada looks shocked at first but not concerned about her partner as she gets frustrated for not getting her target but that doesn’t last long as Apathy takes her out with a spear through the ropes and Denise goes for the cover.
One…

Three.
Alice Goldier: Here are your winners, the team of Apathy and Denise Diamond!!!!
Apathy and Denise celebrate as they walk up the ramp.
Mike Fisher: Big win for Apathy and Denise as they get a returning win over The Champion and a top contender.
Scott James: Yeah and speaking of Champ and top contender.
Beckett and Ada are in the ring taking a few breaths after the hard fought match. The assistant at ring side comes up to bring Ada her belt and passes by Beckett first. An evil grin comes over her as she snatches the belt from the assistant.
James-What is she doing? That isn’t hers..
Fischer – Ada doesn’t know that Beckett has her belt!
Beckett waits for Ada to turn and look at her, as soon as she does she springs forward and slams the belt into Ada’s forehead. She hits the mat hard and Beckett just smiles as she holds the title in front of her and looks at it. The fans all let out a thunderous boo before she wraps it around her waist.
James- She surely isn’t thinking of wearing that thing home is she?!
She struts a few seconds before taking it off and laying it across the ground, she then picks up Ada lifting her on her shoulders and hitting her finisher “The Tooth and Nail” (death valley driver) right on top of the metal belt. She smiles as she dusts her hands and rolls out the ring. Her music plays but is barely heard over the boos from the crowd. At this point there are medics in the ring checking on Ada.
Fischer- If she was trying to make an impression she sure as hell did, I just want to see her do that when Ada is ready for her.
Osh and Shaun stand outside a conference meeting room in the arena.
Osh: Well come on we’ve have more things to discuss and I hope you know it’s nothing personal.
Shaun rolls his eyes and before he can respond his iPhone rings and he looks to see who it is and then with a smile he answers and holds a finger up to Osh letting him he needs a moment and Osh just shrubs his shoulders as he walks into the room and closes the door.
Shaun: Yeah I’m sick of him already but what can I do right? I swear things were better when he was on vacation and I had free will to do as I see fit. But I might need you to do that favor we’ve talked about before.
Shaun pauses.
Shaun: Yeah I’m sure, I need an impact and I know your the one to get yen jobs done you crazy bastard.
Shaun hangs up the phone with a smile and then heads inside the conference room

International Championship
Standard Singles Match
PG-13 vs Joe Montuori (c)
Hero by Skillet plays over the speakers as PG-13 comes out looking intimidating as he bounces up and down. He then makes his way down the ramp, not
Mike Fisher: Here we go IIW fans the International Championship match that many have been buzzing about for weeks now is about to begin PG-13 vs Joe Montouri!!!!
Scott James: Twisted Thoughts takes on The Beast in what many are calling the potential match of the night.
Mike Fisher: Well they won’t have to wait long, now that both men are out here and ready to rumble.
Bell rings
Joe and PG-13 meet in the middle of the ring and Joe goes to talking trash while PG just joggs in place and laughs in his face. Joe responds with shoving PG-13 in the temple of his head with his fingers and then PG fires back with a punch and they just start going back and forth. Joe, PG,Joe, PG, Joe and then Joe again and again. Joe then delivers a knee to the gut of PG and sends him flying towards the ropes and as PH bounces back towards him, he looks for a close line but PG ducks underneath and delivers a German suplex to Joe and then gets back up jumping up and down as he flexes towards Joe who struggles to pull himself up.
Mike Fisher: These two warriors came prepared to come to war tonight.
Scott James: Yeah well looks like PG is winning the war right now.
Mike Fisher: The match isn’t over yet.
PG picks Joe up and gives him a hard slap across the chest and makes Joe stagger away from him but PG stays on the assault as he picks Joe up and hits another German suplex, and an other and then other one. PG gets up laughing as he stalks the Champion and then begins to kick at him and even slap Joe on the back on the head.
Mike Fisher: PG feeling overly confident now that he is in control of this match.
Scott James: PG-13 is someone you don’t want to get rolling because it’s hard to bring the big man to a stop once he’s going.
PG lifts Joe up in the turnbuckle corner and hits him with an uppercut and then a series of punches to the head. PG then backs up to get a running start as he charges at Joe looking to drive his shoulder into his gut but Joe moves out the way and lets PG shoulder eat the pole.
Mike Fisher: Great ring awareness by The Champion.
Scott James: PG got ahead of himself and now his shoulder is paying for it.
Joe grabs the injured shoulder of PG and begins pulling on it and twisting it up to inflict more damage and then hits an arm drag on PG that brings him down to the mat and then Joe comes down on the shoulder with an elbow. Joe gets up and starts stomping the limbs of PG and then makes sure he saves his best stomp for the injured shoulder and then puts PG into an armbar and begins Appling serious pressure.
Mike Fisher: Smart strategy by Joe here as he tries to limit the power of PG by taking away one his arms.
Scott James: You or anyone would be foolish to think that Joe didn’t walk in here with a plan.
Joe keeps the pressure up by PG uses his strength and his other arm to pull himself towards the ropes and goes underneath to break the hold. Joe waits until the referee gets to the count of four before letting go and PG-13 goes out the outside to recover but a frustrated Joe follows him to the outside.
Mike Fisher: Things could get real bowling shoe ugly out here.
Joe goes to grab PG but gets an elbow to the gut and PG bounces Joe head of the steel steps and then again and again before letting go and Joe falls to the ground and crawls over towards the barricade and PG follows after him and hits him in the back with a forearm and then takes Joe down with a close line. PG rolls back inside and then out the ring to restart the referee count. He continues his assault on Joe by hammering hard rights and left punches into his skull and then picks him up to deliver a knee to the gut Joe and leans him up against the barricade. PG backs up to the other side of the barricade to give himself a enough room to build up momentum as he comes charging at Joe but before he can make contact Joe moves out of the way at the last second and PG-23 eats the barricade and crashes right through.
Mike Fisher: My God PG might have taken himself out of this match.
Scott James: This is the opportunity The Champion needed.
Joe rolls back into the ring and pulls himself back up on the ropes and walks over to the turnbuckle to catch his breath. PG comes alive on the outside and start to make his way into the ring but as he try to come in through the middle ropes Joe grabs him by the head and pulls PG in with his feet still on the ropes and hits snap DDT!!
Mike Fisher: A nasty looking DDT there.
Joe then stomps away at PG and then shakes the ropes and pounds on his cheat and slaps himself in the face as he stalks PG-13 as he gets up on his feet. PG turns around and Joe strikes looking for the JKO but PG-13 revered it and sends Joe towards the ropes and as he bounces back PG-13 lifts him up for the The Revelation(F-5). PG spins Joe around on his shoulders and gets ready to launch him to the side but The Champion counters it beautifully into the JKO (RKO)!!! Joe hooks both legs as the referee gets in position.
One…
Two….
Three!!!!
Alice Goldier: Here is your winner and still IIW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JOE MONTUORI!!!!
Mike Fisher: Great win for The Champion here tonight, a great title defense by Joe.
Scott James: No time to celebrate though as the next man in line is out here now.
As Joe celebrates in the ring, Eoin O’Rourke makes his way onto the ramp with a microphone in his hand.
Eoin O’Rourke: I took care of one contract earlier tonight and the reward is a Championship match against you at Explosion and I guarantee you I’ll cash in on that contract as well and loosen the grip CCPE has on this company! Buckle up Joe because it’s going to be a FIGHT!
Joe just laughs at Eoin O’Rourke before turning facial expression serious and holds the International Championship up in the air and locks eyes with Eoin.
The IIW Television Championship sits on top of a counter in front of The Champion Caleb Scott as he looks at the mirror in front of him.
Caleb: To join or not to join that is the question.
Caleb ponders his decision as he keeps staring into the mirror. He looks like he almost has his mind made up until the lights flicker for a moment but Caleb keeps his composure and smiles even once the flickering stops and looks back at the mirror and The Dream Killer Ryan Hawkins appears.
Ryan Hawkins: So many paths you could take Caleb…. but only one will lead you to the top. Only one path will lead you to what you desire and what you truly deserve. All the dreaming in the world will only get you so far, you must COME AND SEE in order to truly understand.
Caleb nods his head in the mirror.
Caleb: Could this be what I’ve been searching for? Everything I have earned and gained has come from me and me alone. But now, The Purge continues to pull me towards it. Its influence is becoming more and more noticeable. I’ve gained gold in IIW in a short amount of time, could this be an opportunity to ascend even higher? A new level to my darkness calls out but will I answer?
Caleb bows his head and continues to ponder his dilemma. The final scene showing Caleb feeling very conflicted before the scene fades to black.

standard Singles Match
Jay Vaughan vs Fred Debonair
DING DING DING
Scott James: “And here we go!”
Scott James: “these two super athletes lock up… and Fred immediately pushes Jay to a corner, with such force he falls down. He’s a bit shocked, of course, but roaring right back up.”
Mike Fisher: “They lock up again, and again, Fred Debonair pushes Jay with a force. I don’t think this is Jay’s best approach.”
Scott James: “Jay is back up, and goes to lock up again.. and surprises Fred with a dropkick to the knee!”
Mike Fisher: “He’d better capitalise!”
Scott James: “Jay begins a series of stiff kicks to the downed CCPE member’s chest, with the crowd eating it up.”
KICK
Crowd: “YES!”

Crowd: “YES!”

Crowd: “YES!”
Scott James: “The crowd really getting behind Jay as he goes to the ropes to get some momentum for a dropkick… and.. OHHH devastating clothesline!”

Scott James: Easy kickout there by Jay, but a hard hitting move nonetheless
Fred picks Jay up by the hair and fluently moves in to a scoop slam
Mike Fisher: Jay back down and OOOH, leg drop across his throat this is great
Scott James: Not for Jay it isn’t
Jay grabs at his throat and rolls across the ring, where he’s grabbed by Fred and dragged to his feet on the outside
Mike Fisher: Fred with some, guaranteed sage advise for the young… never mind
Fred has leaned over the ropes and has a handful of Jays hair once again, dragging him up, back first, to the apron, Jay claws behind him and manages to get an arm around Freds neck, and leaps
Scott James: STUNNER into the top rope, and Fred is down
Jay rolls under the ropes as Fred sits up and leaps over him with a hang-over neckbreaker, he scrambles over towards Fred and starts laying right hooks in to Freds face. Fred blocks one, then two, and brings his head up between the eyes of Jay, sending him rolling away, clutching at his forehead. The crowd are mostly booing as Fred shakes away the effects of the punches, but a loud minority cheer as he gets to his feet.
Scott James: A few of these fans showing support for Fred, that must be something he’s never heard before. Maybe there are some CCPE fans here
Mike Fisher: No, these fans are cheering DESPITE that!
Both men back to their feet and star at each other they both run at each other, making it to tie up, but at the last second Jay ducks under Fred’s arms are jumps up with an enziguri, Fred goes to a knee and Jay takes advantage of the height adjustment to land a DDT, spiking Fred in to the canvas.
Scott James: Ouch
Mike Fisher: And this is the problem right here, a clear advantage and he isn’t going for the pin, what the hell is he climbing the turnbuckle for?
Jay gets to the top and signals to the fans to cheer, feeling the crowd, and then leaps

Scott James: “Fred whips Jay to the turnbuckle hard. Fred comes charging in… and Jay moves! Fred runs chest first into the turnbuckle!”
Mike Fisher: “Jay is lookin to capitalize once more… he runs to the ropes and bounces off the second…

J Mont on the outside catches Jay with a lead pipe to the back of the head, as he stumbles forward, stumbling towards Fred…
ENIGMA DIVIDE!

Mike Fisher: He’s done it Fred’s lived up to his word and got the 3 count over Jay Vaughan… with very big assist to J Mont there!
J Mont and Fred Debonair stand ontop of the downed Jay Vaughan, J Mont motions to Fred, who smirks…
Fred – THIS IS FOR YOU JONNY!
He lifts Jay up and delivers THE GOD COMPLEX crumpling Jay to the mat as his music plays and he heads to the back with J Mont
A guitar rift was heard as the lights began to flicker before a gritty voice could be heard stating “Behold the king, the King of Kings…on your knees, dog.” John Cavanagh stepped out from behind the curtains with the IIW World Heavyweight Championship strapped around his waist. The leader of The Celtic Club walked to the ring unaccompanied as “King of Kings” by Motorhead continued to blare through the arena’s sound system. Cavanagh got to the ring and hopped up onto the apron before stepping foot into the ring. The crowd continued its mix of cheers and boos as John signaled for a microphone. Cav used a cutting motion over his neck to signal to cut the music before he began to speak.
John Cavanagh: What? You didn’t think we could have an episode of Monday Night Mayhem without seeing at least one member of The Celtic Club, did you? Well, whether you love us or hate us…the fact of the matter is that The Celtic Club ain’t going nowhere. Now, last week we may have had a bit of a hiccup when Bear-O-Dactyl was able to get the hard fought victory over Andy and my brother, but, that doesn’t change the fact that good old Johnnie Cav is YOUR World Champion! While Trig and Andy gave Jack and Dinosaurio the fight of their lives, and probably the rub of their careers up to this point, Johnnie Cav was awaiting an announcement of who his opponent would be at IIW Explosion.
The crowd popped at the mention of the upcoming pay-per-view event. Some fans began to chant for Blade Alexander, some others for Crush, still others cheered Cav’s name. It had become apparent that not only was leadership divided, but the very fanbase of the IIW was becoming more and more divided by the show.
John Cavanagh: Well, last week I wasn’t given the answer I was hoping for. See, I’m a champion, and we all know that the duty of a champion is to go out there and defend their championship. The duty of a champion is to assert their own dominance above all others to make those pieces of gold held together by a singular piece of leather more and more prestigious with each successful defense. The amount of days a champion holds onto a title is a nice bragging point–but if it comes down to holding it for a year and defending against four men or holding it for two months and defending it against ten men…I think we all know who the better champion truly was. Now, I will be honest with all of you, in my heart of hearts I was begging, shit I’ll be real with y’all, I was praying that I would be awarded that little shit J Mont. Trust me when I say this, one thing I can’t wait to do is completely dismantle that little party called CCPE. I would have loved to successfully defend against the current International Champion, take that title from him and lighten the load around here again but I guess Osh Vaughan wasn’t having that.
The crowd once again broke into a smattering of cheers and boos but it was difficult to tell who they were cheering and who they were booing.
John Cavanagh: Now, I do have to get a little bit off of my chest in regards to our fearless leader. Oshy Boy was kicked out of power and then did the best thing he could do in order to gain that power back–employ Johnnie Cav. Now, Osh, not only did I help win your control over your own company back but, I also became a surgeon and began to cut the cancer out of your promotion while also rescuing the World Championship from an, at best, laughable title reign. Now, how does one thank the man who saved you, your company and your top prize? A triple threat match?! Now, don’t get that misconstrued–I ain’t afraid of the odds being stacked against me in a triple threat match. Doesn’t matter to me if I am the one who has to defend against two people, one person or thirty people…in the end…Johnnie Cav is walking out of IIW Explosion as your World Champion. I’m down for taking out Osh Vaughan’s hand picked contender and Shaun Hart’s hand picked non-CCPE contender. Why? It helps solidify my point. It helps to solidify that John Cavanagh will be, when all is said and done, the GREATEST IIW World Champion in the HISTORY of this promotion. Jake E. Dangerously, Jonny C, thanks for the runs, thank you for establishing the precedents but today is the reign of John Cavanagh and there ain’t no one in this promotion that is going to get in my way. I plan on eclipsing the length of Jake’s reign while simultaneously eclipsing Jonny’s amount of successful defenses. El Landerson, that was a nice little tune up but that defense was practically a “gimme”. Crush and Blade Alexander? That seems a little more challenging, it’s a match that is actually worthy of main eventing a pay-per-view and a lineup of characters who are all worthy of an opportunity to be THE MAN.
Cavanagh paused for a moment as the crowd popped. Cavanagh pointed to the glistening championship strapped tightly around his waist.
John Cavanagh: And for those of you who need a little lesson on history–the man is the one who holds this beautiful bitch that’s around my waist. So, with that being said, we all know who the man is…the question now is, can Crush or Blade Alexander actually beat the man or will they have to settle for beating one another to get the championship out of my hands? Nah, neither of those sound like the ending we will all witness at Explosion. The real question becomes, who’s shoulders am I pinning to the mat? Or who is Johnnie Cav going to make tap out? Maybe….
WOULD?
The voice of Layne Staley, long gone from this world, cuts off the IIW Champion. The voice beacons forth a challenger for that title in the form of IIW Original Blade Alexander. He hasn’t come dressed to fight, however. He’s dressed in a simple black suit and an orange tie.
Blade Alexander: The question actually is, John, which one of you am I going to beat for that belt? See you do a lot of talking there, but you forget or you’re lying about far more than you want to remember.
He looks down to the ring at Cav and smirks.
Blade Alexander: You brought up some interesting points there, Cav, it’s just a shame you didn’t get your facts straight. Sure you mentioned how Osh was forced to give up control of the company at one point in time, but fill everyone who wasn’t around then in on the whole story.
He holds up his left hand.
Blade Alexander: This is the hand that forced that change, Cav. My hand. Then in an effort to get his company back, he brought you in. Those are your words, and how fitting they are given you did fuck all to actually help with that. Your little story made it sound pretty straightforward, but what it really was, was you playing grab ass with Tyler Debonair for a few months before you tried to take that belt you hold now, fail miserably, then do nothing else for a while.
It was your complete lack of doing anything that led to Shaun Hart bringing in that cancer to IIW in the first place. It was your failure in the first place that weakened IIW to the point that people like the CCPE could walk in here and demand whatever they wanted, like having everything handed to them on a silver plater. But bravo, Dear John…
He claps politely for the man calling himself World Champion.
Blade Alexander: You out schemed the schemers. The original breed of IIW were far too good for you, so what did you do? You got the weak and useless to flood through our open doors so that you could final get what you say is yours, the World Championship. You took it from the clutches of CCPE and now look at you, the hero of the masses, right?
If only it weren’t so easy to see through you John. The fact is you’d rather be facing J Mont for that title at Explosion because you want another weak opponent like Landerson so you can try to trick everyone here into thinking you’re some great champion. We all see through you John, and now your time has ended before it ever began.
Enjoy your last few weeks with that belt, because it will be gone soon enough. Everyone in this building and everyone at home knows the truth John. I’m NOT coming after your title at Explosion. You don’t even have a title, aside from Dickhead. I’m coming for that belt. I’m ALREADY the best professional wrestler not just in this company, but in the entire world today, I have been for YEARS and everyone, including you, already knows it. Come Explosion I’m not coming for the title of World Champion, I already earned that a long time ago. At Explosion I’m going to bring that belt to the title it’s supposed to signify!
Blade is cut off as # KINGDOM # hits as the crowd gets on their feet as Blade and John Cavanagh look toward the ramp. After a few minutes, “The King of Extreme” Crush makes his way out with his “ECE” World Championship strapped around his waist. Cavanagh just shakes his head and laughs as Crush makes his way slowly down the ramp with a pissed off look on his face. He slaps a few fan’s hands as he gets to the apron and stares a hole through the two men in the ring. Crush turns and heads up the steel stairs as Blade looks on wondering what is going on. Crush steps inside the ring and walks across the ring to grab a mic.
Crush: You know what…. I am just about sick and tired of constantly being overlooked when it comes to who faces the IIW World Champion.In almost every promo I have cut since arriving here, I have mentioned my desire to hold that IIW World Heavyweight Championship. This is the one company where I have not yet held a World Championship. I intend to correct that mistake. I’ve had a rough few months. My own brother paid Osh to send over IIW talent to MY backyard in ECE to put me in the hospital. I’ve been screwed outta My World Title on an IIW show, I’ve had my wife abducted twice. I’ve lost my United Kingdom Title. Pretty much everything that could go wrong…..Has.
The crowd boos slightly but Crush waits a minute for them to die down.
Crush: That all changes now. After tonight, Me and My Wife will be reunited..The Purge will be in my rearview mirror. .. Then it’s time to focus on what I came here for. Ya see John.. I actually respect what you’ve done here. If I wasn’t here, there’s nobody I’d rather see represent this company than John Cavanagh. The problem is…I Am here. We have a common enemy. Both of us want to see CCPE fall.. The thing is…You have what I want..No..What I NEED. That IIW World Championship is my sole reason for being in this company. I’m not here to make friends.. I’m here to win titles. Now granted, You’re a great champion.. Unfortunately, you’re also the one standing in my way of once again becoming the Belt collector around here.
The crowd cheers as Crush looks around
Crush: I will admit I’m more than a little pissed off at what The Purge has put my wife through. After tonight, nobody will hear from Ryan Hawkins or Knox ever again. I have been distracted the last several months but those distractions will not keep me from doing what I set out to do which was add the IIW World Title to my mantle. Blade, I don’t know much about you.. What I DO know is, you have a particular relationship with Osh Vaughan. I still have a receipt that has his name all over it. And at Explosion, I am going to cash in that receipt. I remember three months ago when Osh, Sean Raines, and Jason Fenix invaded MY Show at the orders of my brother, and drove a baseball bat into my ribs. I remember lying up in that hospital bed, coughing up blood as My Wife and Kid asked me if I was okay.. I REMEMBER when Osh had Raines restrain MY WIFE so she had to watch as he drove that baseball bat into my ribs.. I’ve never forgotten.. And since I obviously can’t get to him..I guess that receipt will have to be signed in blood….By You.
Mike Fisher: This is going to be a WAR AT EXPLOSION!!!
John raise the World Heavyweight Championship up in the air in front of Blade and Crush who state down each other and then look up at the belt and then lock eyes with The Champion.

Standard Singles Match
Chris Norton vs Caleb Scott
Lights go black as Ze Nigmar plays. 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 rises from the floor through a ring of white smoke. Caleb stands there for a few seconds looking at the crowd before he begins to slowly walk to the ring as a short row of fire ignites on either side of the entrance ramp. As Caleb goes up the steps and into the ring, the single beam of light following him the entire time. He stands in the middle of the ring, facing the camera, as the ring fills with smoke before the lights turn back on.
The bell rings and Chris Norton moves out to the middle of the ring but Caleb Scott remains in his. Chris Norton starts to ask whats up when Caleb Scott charges out with a clothesline. Chris Norton ducks it ans hits the ropes, Caleb Scott swings around for another clothesline atempt but Wallce drops to his knees and slides under it. Chris Norton quickly comes at Caleb Scott again and once again Caleb Scott swings and misses, this time Chris Norton pulls a matrix move ad bends over backwards to avoid it. This time however he’s not able to get away as Caleb Scott reaches down and throttles The Windy City Weirdo. Caleb Scott pulls the smaller man to his feet but instead of chokeslaming the man, Caleb Scott lets go and grabs one of Chris Nortons arms and pulls him into a massive short-arm clothesline, making Chris Norton flips completely around in the air. Caleb Scott quickly goes into a pin.

KICK OUT
Chris Norton holds his arms out wide and mouths off to the crowd and Katie. Caleb Scott is trying to get up but Chris Norton drops an elbow across his neck and starts raining down punches. After a few of these he stands and begins to measure Caleb Scott. Once Caleb Scott is on his knees Norton charges and trys to boot Caleb in the chest but Caleb Scott catches his foot! He swings Chris Norton’s leg back down and lunges forward, headbutting Chris Norton in the gut. Chris Norton, clearly not expecting that, backs away winded. He comes back at Caleb Scott but Caleb Scott is up and lays in with european uppercuts. He backs JJ into the ropes and shoots him off into the opposite set. He jumps over JJ on the rebound, his coat sliding over the mans head. Chris Norton goes for a clothesline but is cut off with a picture perfect dropkick to the jaw. Caleb Scott pops up and lets out a roar before finally throwing his coat off. He picks his dazed opponent up off the ground before dropping him with a headlock driver. A pinfall follows.

Kickout!
Caleb barely makes it out. Chris Norton isn’t bothered much but on the outside Ryan McCann pouts in an over the top way. Chris sees this and motions out to him as if to say Do you see what I deal with? to the ref. Caleb takes advantage of this momentary distraction and pulls on the front of Norton’s trunks, sending him down throat first into the second rope. Caleb Scott stumbles up but is quickly caught with a clothesline. Chris Norton shakes off the effects of the earlier dropkick and hauls Caleb Scott back up. Chris Norton shoots him into the ropes and bends over for a back body drop but Caleb Scott stops short and grabs Chris Norton in a double-underhook. Using his deceptive strength he lifts Chris Norton straight up in the air and then brings him down on his head with the FINAL RESTING PLACE.

He Pummels away at Chris Norton, throwing him into the barricade, he lays some kicks down on him but before he turns around he’s hit from behind with a chair from Ryan McCann…He picks him up and HIDE N SEEK!
Ryan Grabs Chris and helps him to the back leaving the newly signed Eddie Charisma and Caleb Scott laid out.
We cut to the backstage area where Michael Morrison is standing looking a bit confused to be honest, once he realizes he is on Camera he begins to speak in its general direction.
Michael Morrison: I am backstage where I was scheduled to hear from our brand new Uprising Champion after his amazing victory but as of yet I haven’t seen him I..
As he starts to speak one of the stage hands walks by he draws their attention.
Michael Morrison: hey have you seen Iron Wolf?
Stage Hand: yea he was in the locker room about an hour ago, maybe you should check there..
Michael Morrison: Lets do it then, follow me..
The camera man follows and they make it to the large locker room, he knocks a few times but no answer. The door is cracked however so he lets himself in. Laying on the ground is the body of Iron wolf, he looks battered and beaten. The locker room has been ransacked and it appears to have his personal belongings spread out every where. Michael quickly shouts
Michael Morrison: We need help, get the doctor in here!!
Michael motions for the Camera to be cut and everything goes black as we are suddenly moved back to ringside.
Mike Fischer: What on earth! The New champion is laid out, there seems to be something nefarious about I hope he is ok.
Scott James: Yea we will keep you updated as we hear new information on the situation but we have to move on with the show!
[hr] Match Eleven
Haunted House Horror Match
Crush vs Ryan Hawkins
Mike Fisher: It’d been an exciting night here on this Halloween edition of Monday Night Mayhem and it’s about to get spooky as Crush takes on Ryan Hawkins in a first-ever Haunted House match!
Scott James: Tahts right IIW has rented out an actual Haunted House here tonight in New Orleans. I’ve been told the stage crew spent all morning getting this place ready for all types of Hell when Crush and Ryan go to war.
Mike Fisher: And the stakes couldn’t be any higher than Crush wife on the line along with Crush freedom. If Ryan wins Crush most pledge his loyalty to Ryan but if Crush wins he gets back his wife and never sees Ryan again.
Scott James: Yeah there is definitely a lot on the line for everyone in this match and just do the fans know this match can only be one by pinfall or knockout if a competitor can not get up by the count of ten.
Mike Fisher: I can see both Crush and Ryan going for the knockout win, I’ll be shocked to see if anyone wins by pin.
Scott James: Well we don’t have to wait long as I’m being told the Haunted House is ready to be entered as we have camera crew and IIW media personnel Larry Fishburg on the scene. Take it away Larry.
We switch to the streets of New Orleans as Larry stands there nervously sweating in front of the creepy Haunted House.
Larry Fishburg: Well guys…. this hasn’t been the easiest job for me tonight as kids and grown adults have been scaring the piss out of me and I mean literally. It was already hard enough being here knowing that the master of nightmares Ryan Hawkins would be close by but these Halloween outfits have almost killed me.
Larry takes a cloth out his pocket and pats his forehead.
Larry Fishburg: I almost went to hide in the closet in the house but that was before I learned Ryan had already enter the Haunted Horror House and is waiting for Crush to enter for the match to begin….. nevrmind folks I’ve told Crush is here and is about to enter through the door.
The camera switches to Crush as he stares at the black door with cobwebs all around it and a black skull as a door handle.
Crush: I’m coming Jessica, just hold on.
Crush doest open the door with hand or knock he just kicks it in with his boot and walks inside and is instantly startled by a skeleton that drops down as he enters.
Mike Fisher: Looks like the tricks have already begun.
Crush knocks the fake skeleton out of his way and continues to walk through the creepy Haunted House, Crush enters into the living room where a creepy doll with a sinister smile sits in a chair, and her hand points towards another door that leads to the kitchen. Crush walked cautiously past the doll and it almost seems the doll head turns towards him as he walks through the door and enters the kitchen.
Scott James: The suspense is killing me!
Mike Fisher: The Dream Killer nowhere to be seen just yet.
As Crush enter the worn down and cold kitchen he is greeted by a large figure in a hockey mask and jumpsuit. His large hands holds a knife and his cold dead eyes just stare a hole through Crush.
Crush: Oh so you going to stab me?!
The figure in the mask shapes his head slowly side to side as he let’s Crush know he won’t and then drops the knife and reaches over to the side of him and picks up a barbed wire baseball bat and holds it up and points to Crush and Crush just cracks and his neck and nuckles.
Mike Fisher: Looks like we are finally going to get some action but it’s not Ryan vs Crush.
Scott James: Yeah it’s Crush vs some creep in a mask.
The masked figure swings at Crush but Crush dodges and the bat crushes a part of teh counter and knocks it down. Crush turns him around and delivers a couple punches to the face and the gut but the Mask figure absorbs the blows and fires back with a kick to the chest of Crush and sends him flying into a wooden cabinet that was already falling apart and then a bunch of old cups fall on Crush head .
Mike Fisher: That kick to the chest looked brutal.
Scott James: Well I stand corrected Looks like this masked creep is someone with wrestling experience.
Mike Fisher: Never judge a book by its cover.
Crush shakes his head and gets back focused but as he looks up the masked man comes running in looking to smash him with the barbed wire bat but Crush rolls out the way just in time and the barbed wire bat smashes through the counter and gets stuck a little and now Crush uses this moment to pick the large mask man up and slam him to the cement floor with authority. He then gets on top him and begins punching him over and over again until he cracks the mask a little. He then gets off of him and pulls the barbed wire bat out the rubble and then hits the masked man over and over again in the chest and legs until Crush is satisfied and then takes of the mask the large man and it’s revealed to be KNOX!!!
Mike Fisher: Well should’ve known Knox wouldn’t be far behind in a match like this. Whatever The Purge was planning to do has failed at this point.
Scott James: Crush has only conquered Knox so far. He still hasn’t found his wife or defeated Ryan yet in this match.
Crush look at Knox with disgust and begins to raise the barbed wire bat.
Crush: I swear to whatever demon or God you speak too if you don’t tell me where that sick freak Ryan is I will bash your skull in right now!
Knox laughs for a moment as blood rolls out of the corner of his mouth.
Knox: Up the stairs if you dare but you better hurry. I think Ryan was starting to see real interest in your wife.
Knox laughs again as Crush eyes lit up with fire and then he lifts the barbed wire bat high in the air and then BAM!! He smashes the bat into the face of Knox and blood drips off the bat as Crush Looks satisfied.
Scott James: No mercy shown by Crush here tonight.
Mike Fisher: I understand his frustration but by God Knox is still a human being I hope the EMTs get him some help.
Scott James: They better stand on stand by because I have a feel things are about to get even more bloody.
Crush makes it to the oak wood steps taht still creek as he puts his full weight down on them. As he continues up the steps a LOUD SCREAM echos through out the house and Crush quickly runs up the steps and finds himself at the beginning of a long dark hallway with two doors on each side of teh hall and one at the end. All five doors have a red ominous light above them.
Crush: Fuck it here we go.
Crush takes a few steps down the hall and then comes to the first door and he balls his fist up and gets ready as he opens the door but no surprises this time as it’s just a dark.empty cold room with nothing inside. Crush Looks frustrated and walks back out into the hallway and makes his way to the opposite door across the hallway. He kicks this one open and it’s the same as the last time.just a dark empty room but this time their is red writing on the wall.
Mike Fisher: Wonder what this could mean.
Scott James:Nothing good I can bet.
Crush walks up close on the wall to get a better look at the writing.
YOURE GETTING CLOSER!!!!!
Crush smashes his fist into the wall.
Crush: Tired of the games you freak where the FUCK ARE YOU!!!!!
Crush storms out of the room and makes his way to the third door and kicks it open as he is no mood to be wasting time now. But the image of his wife picture hanging on the wall with the words.
WARMER! KEEP GOING! NEXT DOOR!
Crush lets out a frustrated breath of air as he punches a hole through the wall.
Crush: THIS GAME IS ALMOST OVER, GET READY FREAK BECAUSE HERE I COME!!!!
Crush stomps loudly and angrily as he reaches the fourth door and as he gets ready to open the door himself, it’s swings open slowly on it’s own and the lights in the hall and rooms flicker and then once they reappear four men in Purge mask and dressed in all black jumpsuits attack Crush as they rush him in the hall and puts the boots to him a they circle him in the hallway. They then pick him up and toss him from wall to wall, leaving his body imprint in each side and then one looks to do a running punch but crush catches him in mid air and throws him straight through the wall and but then a second one comes in and catches Crush in the chest with a drop kick and sends him stumbling back.
Mike Fisher: This isn’t right, Crush has already fought Knox tonight downstairs and now he’s dealing with four of Ryan’s Purge followers.
Scott James: It’s a smart strategy with no rules in a match, by the time Crush gets to Ryan this things will be over quickly.
The lay remains Purge followers continue to attack Crush at the same time but two end up taking themselves out when they go for a superkick at the same time and Crush ducks and they knock each other clean out. The final Purge member comes swinging a metal pole at Crush and connects a few times to the side of his ribs but Crush fights through the pain and delivers a knee to the gut and lifts the man up on his shoulders and then drops him with a soman drop so thunderous that it sends the final Purge member through the top floor and down to the first floor.
Mike Fisher: This is the true strength of a man on a mission.
Scott James: This man wants to destroy Ryan Hawkins and win back his wife at all cost, not to mention that World Title.
Crush gets up slowly and cracks his knuckles as the fifth door up ahead comes open and Ryan Hawkins finally appears with a sinister smile.
Ryan Hawkins: I knew you would COME AND SEE!!!
Crush and Ryan rush each down the hall and as they get ready to make contact Crush looks for a close line but Run sucks as he slides underneath the hit and then pops back up and delivers a sling blade to Crush and as he gets back up Ryan masterfully hits him with stiff leg and hand strikes to his legs arms and chest. Crush staggers back and holds parts of his body that’s in pain and tries to catch his breath but Ryan comes at him with the running knees to his chest and Crush hits the wall hard.
Mike Fisher: Ryan is in full control and many could say he’s been in control of this match the whole time.
Ryan hits a spinning heel kick to Crush and then back up looking to spear Crush through the wall but Crush stops Ryan in his tracks and instead Crush lifts Ryan up and power mobs him through the wall and right into the next room. As Crush enters through the wall he picks up a chair and tosses it at the head of Ryan as he gets up and then Crush follows up with a big boot and a leg drop combo. A referee appears for the first time as he watches through the hall.
Scott James: Now where the hell did he come from?!
Mike Fisher: Guess now that Ryan has appeared the referee can finally do his job, make a three count or declare a knockout in this Haunted House Horror Match.
Crush then lifts Ryn up high in the air with his hand on his throat and chokes slam him through another wall into the next room and Crush walks through and stalks Ryan as he tries to recover. As Crush goes to grab Ryan he shoots a black mist into the face of Crush that blinds him and Ryan hits him with a superkick and Crush hits the floor and Ryan grabs a kendo stick from the corner of the wall and lays into him with thunderous shots to the back of Crush. Ryan pulls Crush shirt up on his back and then continues to beat him with the kendo stick.
Ryan Hawkins: You choose this path Crush, remember you are the one that choose suffering and agony. You could’ve been at my side causing people NIGHTMARES but now it is you that is living a NIGHTMARE and once I’m done with you. I’m going to make your Wife have an everlasting NIGHTMARE!!!! Hahahahahha
Crush facial expression lights up with fire is hogan and overcomes the shots Ryan throws at him and deliver a stiff right uppercut to Ryan that sends him staggering backwards. Crush then gets a running start and nails him with a Superman Punch and then follows it up with a The Bone Crusher!!!!
Mike Fisher: You can feel all the frustration and anger in that spear by Crush.
He doesn’t go for the pin, instead he walks over by the window and and lifts Ryan up above his shoulders.
Crush: GO TO HELL!!!
Crush sends Ryan out of the three story home and all you hear is Ryan laughing before he crashes into a car below and the referee instantly calls for the match to stop and declares Crush the winner by knockout.
Mike Fisher: Crush did it! He wins this brutal and unholy match on Halloween and now Ryan must stay away from him and his wife so that Crush can move on towards the World Title match.
Scott James: But where is his wife?
Right on cue a door inside the room opens up and his wife Jessica Huttman comes walking out looking scared and startled until she sees her husband and walks up to him to give him a hug and a kiss.
Jessica Huttman: I knew you come for me, you always do.
Crush: I’m so sorry.
They kiss as they celebrate moving past this chapter and the scenes switches back to the arena.
[hr] Main Event
Tag Team Championships
Final Round of The World Cup Tag Team Tournament
Tag Team Ladder Match
Bear-O-Dactyl vs No Good Bastards
Mike Fisher: “We’re finally here Scott! After what can only be described as yet another night of incredible, high energy IIW action, we arrive at…”
Scott James: “…the main event! And this is it…for all the marbles. IIW Tagteam World Cup Finals AND the IIW World TagTeam Championships! I can’t wait!”
Mike Fisher: “Absolutely partner! We’re just moments away from a final I don’t think anyone would have predicted when this tournament began…both team’s are relatively new to IIW and have shown the fans just why they should sit up and take notice!”
Scott James: “Them No Good Bastards have been stomping a mud hole in anyone who stands in front of them and I just don’t see that stopping tonight.”
Mike Fisher: “Your distaste for Bear-O-Dactyl’s fun loving nature aside, your point is taken. Them No Good Bastards have been on a tear lately and it was only a match of time before these two teams, with vastly contrasting styles, faced off! What have we here?”
Led by security, IIW cameras show Rhett Dawson, Sawyer Wade, Maverick Tatum and Beckett Marisol; collectively known as Against The Grain taking front row seats for the tag-team main event as fans give them the thumbs down and boo the foursome all the way to their seats.
Mike Fisher: “Against The Grain out here in full force to get a closer look…based on their attack on Bear-O-Dactyl following their win over Celtic Club, I’d wager they share your views on the fun loving trio.”
Scott James: “I just feel…and I bet ATG would agree with me, that they should take the opportunity that IIW has given them more seriously, especially Union Jack. If he put half as much effort into wrestling as he does clowning around, he’d be a world champion!”
Mike Fisher: “You might have a point there too partner! Union Jack likes to have fun but I don’t see that being an issue tonight. This is for everything! Literally bragging rights as the top team in IIW are about to be decided and we’re just moments away…let’s send it to center ring and our ring announcer Jenny Fletcher!”
Cameras focus on center ring and the beautiful Jenny Fletcher who is channeling her inner Elvira for the occasion and is dressed in black. Standing amid the cheers of IIW faithful, she allows the anticipation to build before she raises the microphone to her candy apple red lips.
Jenny Fletcher: Now…it’s time for the main event of the evening…it is the finals of the IIW World Cup Tagteam Tournament AND is a ladder match for the IIW World TagTeam Championships!”
Allowing for cheers from the Cajun crowd, they threaten to blow the roof off the Smoothie King Center. Jenny is all smiles as she continues amid the roar of the fans!
Jenny Fletcher: “…on their way to the ring, accompanied by lil MC. Weighing in at a combined weight of 375lbs, the team of Union Jack and Pequeño Dinosaurio….Bear-O-Dactyl!”
As the veteran IIW ring announcer finishes up, a booming voice from nowhere fills the arena, like an excited chihuahua with no social filter, the unseen speaker tries to sound tough despite the childlike inflection to his voice.
Lil’ MC : “Yo! Yo! Yo! You ’bout to witness a Mother Fucking Origin Story, let’s go!”
Mike Fisher: “Here we go! The fun loving trio known as Bear-O-Dactyl making their way to the ring led by their ‘mascot’ and hype man Lil MC. How can you not love this?”
Scott James: “Love it? It’s annoying and is probably the longest entrance in IIW today!”
The arena light’s dim as ‘The Motherfucking Pterodactyl’ by Sarah Donner and The Oatmeal starts to play.
Fans, especially the younger ones, begin clapping along to the silly, but infectious beat of the song. Spotlights pan across the crowd and strobe lights fill the arena.
He is the Motherfucking Pterodactyl
Here to
Ptear you a nnnnnneeeeewww… asshole
The spotlights settle on the stage as Union Jack and Pequeño Dinosaurio burst through the curtain to an explosion of green, blue and red pyro.
Lil’ MC follows Jack and Dinosaurio out through the curtain and excitedly does a lap of the stage, stopping in both corners to rhythmically thrust his hips and shake his little rubber penis toward the crowd.
Scott James: “Do you see this crap? How do they get away with this?! It’s literally a midget in a bear suit with a rubber…”
Mike Fisher: “It’s Halloween partner, let it go for a day! Try to enjoy the party!”
Scott James: “It’s the one day of the year this would be acceptable and I still think it’s dumb! Seriously it’s a rubber…”
Yes, it’s true
He ate 10,000 lightning bugs
Kissing his bowels like a million hugs
He shat them oooouuuuut
One phosphorescent night
Painting it like
Christmas liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhts
Jack is hyping up his partner, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.
The small bear drops to his knees and skids across the stage, stopping right in front of the ramp before the Luchadors.
He is the Motherfucking Pterodactyl
Here to
Ptear you a nnnnnneeeeewww… asshole
He pops up to his feet and starts furiously strumming the plastic penis that hangs from the front of his costume, the sound of the little bell amplified by the megaphone he is holding close to his crotch.
Scott James: “They’re just lucky Fisher, but that ends tonight. Luck has given Bear-O-Dactyl non-sense too much credibility.”
Mike Fisher: “You keep calling it non-sense partner but this non-sense is still undefeated in IIW thus far and could be one match away from being not just World Cup Winners, but Champions!”
Scott James: “What a sad possibly Fisher! What a sad sad possibility.”
Yes, it’s true
His plumage is the best in town
All the hoooeees
Touch his sexy Pteroid bone, oh!
Yes he do put the T-rex to shame
His pussy arms on that
Puuuuusssssy frrrrraaaaame
Oh!
Both Union Jack and Pequeño Dinosaurio rush forward and leap over Lil’ MC. Jack performs a split leg jump, while Dinosaurio dives under Jack’s legs but over Lil’ MC’s head.
He is the Motherfucking Pterodactyl
Here to
Ptear you a nnnnnneeeeewww… asshole
Dinosaurio lands a split second before Jack, rolling once to clear the shared landing spot just as Jack sticks the landing where his partner had been.
Mike Fisher: “Hey, all the jokes aside, Bear-O-Dactyl has earned their way here the same as Them No Good Bastards…
Scott James: “See, that’s where you’re wrong. Them No Good Bastards we’re busy having five star matches with the team at ringside, ATG…while Bear-O-Dactyl was barely scraping by Stoner and Phoenix and Celtic Club!”
Yes, it’s true
He enjoys his hobbies too
He smokes his pipe
Rollerblades and finds ladies to woo, oh!
The two members of Bear-O-dactyl sprint down the ramp toward the ring with Lil’ MC following as fast as he can.
Yes, it’s true
He rode with the Triassic crew
That includes Lystrosaurus, and Plateosaurus, toooooo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Reaching the ring, both men stop, noticing Against The Grain as they wave from their seats and flash their front row tickets.
Mike Fisher: “Dinosaurio holding back Union Jack now.”
Scott James: “See how dumb that Bear truly is? He’d get in a fight before the match and risk the World Cup and World Championships for his team!”
Seeing the big picture, Union Jack gives up on the antagonist foursome and, giving a nod to Dinosaurio; leaps from the floor to the ring apron before bounding over the top rope to enter the ring followed closely by the little dinosaur.
He is the Motherfucking Pterodactyl
Here to
Ptear you a nnnnnneeeeewww… asshole
Both men go to opposite corners, posing for the loudly cheering crowd and hit all for corners in turn, playing up to the raucous reaction.
He is awkward on the floor
His feet are shit and
His balance quite poor
Mike Fisher: “Ok, fair point but Union Jack’s passion is part of what makes him one of the most watched stars on the IIW roster. Fans want to see what the Lucha Bear from Norwich England will do next.”
Scott James: “That’s not fighting though, is it? Their opponents are fighters Fisher, not wrestlers or sports entertainers…fighters.”
Mike Fisher: “That…may be true, but they’ve defied the odds up until now and have shown great perseverance and determination in the face of adversity and have gained quite a following here in IIW as a result…listen to that crowd!
Basking in the cheers, Lil MC rounds the outside high-fiving anyone willing to risk reaching out a hand.
He hooked up with a grizzly bear
They made love under the sea, and everrryyyyywhere
Continuing to pose, the crowd is laughing and eating it up. Both men look ready for action despite the fun loving attitude and unique entrance.
Yes that bear gave birth to a Motherfucking Bear-o-dactyl
Who just might tear you a new…
So beware, motherfuckers, beeewwwaaaarrreeeee!
He is the Motherfucking Pterodactyl
He is the Motherfucking Pterodactyl
Remember him
Remember his song
Remember his tire iron and
His enccccchhhhanting thong
Both men move toward their corner and, begin talking over their last minute strategy as Dinosaurio stretches.
He is the Motherfucking Pterodactyl!
Scott James: “And thank God…it’s over! I know i’ve said it before but thank God that’s over! How do these people every where we go like this crap!?”
Mike Fisher: “They live to put on a show, what can I say? Come on Scott!”
Scott James: “They should live to win matches Fisher!”
Mike Fisher: “Well, they’ve been doing that too partner. Bear-O-Dactyl has battled to get here just like Them No Good Bastards.
Scott James: “I disagree.”
Mike Fisher: “You would.”
Scott James: “What is that supposed to mean? AND Them No Good Bastards have been showing us event after event since getting here that they’re among the top teams in the world. Bear-O-Dactyl will need a minor miracle to pull this one off!”
Lil MC leads a cat call contest directed at Jenny as the Montreal crowd laughs, having fun until the voice of IIW retakes center ring.
Jenny Fletcher: “And their opponents…”
The entirely epic XTron video of Them No Good Bastards takes over the Smoothie King Center as the lights dim.
Jenny Fletcher: “…weighing in at a combined weight of five hundred and fifty pounds…Thunder Knuckles and Bobby Bourbon…Them No Good Bastards!!!!”
‘No good bastard’ by Tom McDonald plays and fans are divided, some cheer the pair some boo but seemingly everyone has an opinion!
Scott James: “Now this is how you do an entrance Fisher!”
Mike Fisher: “Oh brother…”
Scott James: “Damn right! Here we go Fisher! Here we go!”
A spotlight highlights the ramp, and Thunder Knuckles walks out onto the entrance ramp, hyped and ready to fight, pointing out into the crowd. Relishing in the cheers and boos alike, Knuckles looks ready!
Mike Fisher: “There’s Thunder Knuckles…soon to be joined by his partner Bobby Bourbon. Them No Good Bastards have been on a roll and could very well capture a World Cup and Tagteam gold here in a matter of minutes!”
Scott James: “Could? Could?! You’re looking at your future tag-team champions right there Fisher! Them No Good Bastards!”
Behind him, Bobby Bourbon deliberately walks out and stops, also pointing out into the crowd.
Both men glance at each other and bump fists, then in unison point into the ring.
Mike Fisher: “Simple and effective brutal offense and grit has gotten Them No Good Bastards all the way here, to the finals!
On their way to the ring, they notice ATG and slow just a moment before returning to the task at hand, winning gold.
Rhett Dawson playfully holds up his hands saying he’s not here to fight, but to watch.
Mike Fisher: “Interesting…”
The crowd sings along with the song.
Scott James: “Shhhh! My favourite part!”
ASSHOLE, DIRTBAG, NO GOOD BASTARDS![/i]
Scott James: “Of course they’re here Fisher! Of course they’re here! They’re asshole, dirtbag, no good bastards!”
Mike Fisher: “As good of a reason as that is, would you care to elaborate for the fans at home?”
Scott James: “This isn’t a wrestling match Fisher, this is a ladder match…a wrestling match would actually give Bear-O-dactyl a chance. This is basically a fight and the “anything goes” nature of this thing favours the bastards!”
Thunder Knuckles slides into the ring and gets up onto a knee, beckoning the crowd as Bobby climbs the steps and enters the ring behind him.
Scott James: “So, like I was saying…there are your next IIW World Tagteam champions as they look up at the gold hanging high above the ring!”
TK stands and appeals to the crowd as Bobby raises his arms pointing at the hanging title belts.
Mike Fisher: “You could be right partner but first there’s the little matter of the match! The referee looks ready to go! The fans are ready, let’s do this!”
Each team points at the titles as the bell rings to begin this high risk affair…
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Cheers flood the Smoothie King Center as all four men stand center ring taking a moment to recognize the enormous nature of this moment.
Mike Fisher: “And there’s the bell! Now unlike a traditional match, the object here is to grab a ladder and retrieve the championships!”
Scott James: “And, unfortunately for Bear-O-Dactyl…anything goes!”
Thunder Knuckles and Bobby Bourbon rush Union Jack and Pequeno Dinosaurio who duck under the attacks and land a pair of synchronized drop kicks that bring the crowd to it’s feet in anticipation but barely even stagger their opponents!
Mike Fisher: “Duck by Bear-O-Dactyl and a pair of drop kicks!”
A second drop kick stumbles them back to the ropes…
Rushing forward with surprising explosiveness and speed for a pair of two hundred and fifty pound plus bruisers, Bourbon and Knuckles roar forward flattening the much smaller luchadors in an instant!
Scott James: “See? All that effort and it only sped up their demise! This is a matter of time Fisher, a matter of time!”
Smirking to themselves, Them No Good Bastards stalk their prey.
Mile Fisher: “Dragging them to their feet, a pair of body slams…”
Bourbon slams Dinosaurio to the mat while Thunder Knuckles slams Union Jack. Each big man seemingly proved to put their opponent through the IIW canvas!
Mike Fisher: “…now they’re just mauling them!”
Scott James: “Yes they are Fisher, yes they are!”
In full mount, Bobby Bourbon and Thunder Knuckles pummel their respective luchadors as cheers and boos rain down from the Louisiana crowd!
Getting up from the turtled and covered up Union Jack, Thunder knuckles smiles and points to a ladder at ring side.
Mike Fisher: “Here we go! Business is about to pick up!”
Scott James: “Beginning of the end Fisher…beginning of the end!”
Sliding in the ladder and climbing in the ring, Thunder Knuckles taps his partner on the shoulder.
Mike Fisher: “They getting ready to set up the ladder!”
Scott James: “Well duh, that’s the point, ain’t it!?”
Looking across the ring, Thunder Knuckles leaves the ladder to Bobby Bourbon as he shakes his head.
Mike Fisher: “Not that easy! Union Jack isn’t done!”
Pulling himself to his feet using the ropes, Union Jack shows his defiance the only way he knows how…
Mike Fisher: “Union Jack with plenty of fight left! He’s flipping Thunder Knuckles the bird!”
Scott James: “He’ll pay for that!”
Growling in anger, Thunder Knuckles rushes forward with a lariat designed to decapitate his opponent!
Mike Fisher: “Sooner rather than later it seems! TK rushing…lariat…no!”
Sailing over the rope, Thunder Knuckles crashes to the padded cement floor with a sickening thud that instinctively draws the attention of the referee.
Mike Fisher: “What a counter by Union Jack! Great instincts and ring awareness from the batch as catch can style British Luchador!”
Scott James: “So what? Bobby Bourbon weighs almost what these two clowns do by himself!”
Realizing their opportunity, Dinosaurio and Jack eye the ladder and Jack points to his biggest muscle…then his brain.
Mike Fisher: “What are they up to here?”
Scott James: “Nothing good!”
Dinosaurio and Union Jack look to one another and then to the ladder, drawing a roar from the crowd. Acting in unison, Bear-O-dactyl grabs the ladder and rushes Bobby Bourbon crashing steel into his chest and sending the larger man to the canvas!
Mike Fisher: “That did it! Not technical, but effective none the less!”
Scott James: “They hit him with a ladder! Of course it worked!”
Rolling on the mat in pain, Bourbon soon has the ladder slammed down upon him for good measure!
Scott James: “Now that was uncalled for! The man was already down!”
Setting up the ladder, Jack and Dinosaurio look to each other and then to the titles which draws a scream of joy from the fans.
Climbing the ladder, each man has his eye on the prize!
Mike Fisher: “They’re just inches away! Bear-O-Dactyl!”
Just as Union Jack’s finger tips touch the titles, a crack that echoes throughout the arena draws his attention away from the belts and to…
Scott James: “It’s Thunder Knuckles!”
Thunder Knuckles, wielding a black steel folding chair, watches as Dinosaurio falls from the ladder to the canvas!
Mike Fisher: “And what a way to get back into the match! Wrapping a steel chair around the back of Pequeno Dinosaurio!”
Scott James: “”Look at that dent! What a home run swing by TK!”
Cameras show a crumpled Dinosaurio writhing in pain on the canvas before Knuckles topples the ladder sending Union Jack into the ropes, rebounding before crashing to the mat to join his partner!
Mike Fisher: “Oh! Union Jack neck first to the ropes! Bear-O-Dactyl look like they’ve been in a car wreck!”
Posing for the crowd, Thunder Knuckles takes his time picking up the ladder, soaking in cheers, boos…it mattered not to him. They were about to become champions.
Mike Fisher: “Knuckles taking his time, Them No Good Bastards have to know that the longer this thing goes, the more that flavours Bear-O-Dactyl. Stamina wise, the pair of Luchadors aren’t carrying two hundred and sixty to two hundred and ninety pounds of muscle around.”
Scott James: “Great observation as always partner, but you fail to see that that same muscle is why Bear-O-Dactyl was doomed from the beginning!”
Mike Fisher: “What do you have against Bear-O-Dactyl? Did they crap in your Corn Flakes?”
Pausing slightly before responding, Scott Janes is shocked.
Scott James: “How’d you know?! I’m pretty sure it was that damned bear!”
Thunder Knuckles sets up the ladder, checking it’s sturdiness and the arena cheers as he looks up before beginning his climb.
Mike Fisher: “That’s just…wow…I was kidding, but…ok…”
Scott James: “Now do you get it?!”
Mike Fisher: “I have no words.”
Rung by rung, he creeps his way towards his goal literally step by step. Reaching the top, cheers surround him as he reaches out for the titles…
Mike Fisher: “Thunder Knuckles has his finger tips on the titles!”
Scott James: “This is it!”
A sudden pop from the New Orleans crowd as Dinosaurio springboards off the ropes to the ladder!
Mike Fisher: “What a move by Pequeno Dinosaurio!”
Mike Fisher barely has a moment to end his sentence and Dinosaurio uses his momentum to send himself and Thunder Knuckles sailing through the air with a picturesque Spanish Fly!!
Mike Fisher: “What a use of motion to leverage the bigger man into that incredible Spanish Fly! People will be talking about that for a long time!”
Scott James: “Talking about how he was right there and went for the highlight reel instead of the belts!”
The referee is checking both men after a fifteen plus foot fall and neither man is ready to say they’ve had enough.
Mike Fisher: “He stopped Thunder Knuckles’ attempt!”
The camera focuses on the downed big man as if to illustrate Fisher’s point.
Scott James: “Doesn’t matter, he had the element of surprise, that might have been his team’s chance to steal this thing and he blew it!”
Bobby Bourbon can’t believe his eyes and rushes Dinosaurio as he regains his footing…
Mike Fisher: “Bourbon rushes Dinosaurio…drop toe hold! Bourbon is draped across the second rope…you know what this means!”
Rebounding off the ropes, Pequeno Dinosaurio dials up Lucha Libre’s most famous area code…connecting with the 619!
Mike Fisher: “619! No! Bourbon has him! Oh!”
Launching Pequeno Dinosaurio through the air, he crashes into the ladder!
Scott James: “Don’t look surprised Fisher, this is what was supposed to happen! Size, power, it all spells doom for Bear-O-Dactyl!”
With Bear-O-Dactyl down, Them No Good Bastards signal for the end. Dragging Union Jack to his feet they set up for…
Mike Fisher: “Here they go! Bourbon hoists him up!”
Lifting Jack into a hanging vertical suplex, Thunder Knuckles connects with a vicious Thunder Strike! A destroyed Union Jack lay motionless on the mat!
Mike Fisher: “Rainbow Lazer Death Sequence!”
Scott James: “That’s not how you sell it! It’s RAINBOW LAZER DEATH SEQUENCE!!!!”
The crowd erupts in cheers and jeers alike at the massive pair’s dominance as a crumpled Bear-O-Dactyl. TK and Bobby look at each other with focus in their eyes and then they look up and point to the IIW Tag Team Titles that are hanging from the rafters and then Bobby and TK both go to the outside and bring back in a long ladder.
Mike Fisher: Are the No Good Bastards going to do it. Are they going to be the ones to say they outlasted all the teams in this tournament and got rewarded with the Tag Team Titles.
Scott James: Get up Bear-O-Dactyl!!!
They place the ladder right underneath the belts and then begin their climb to top as both TK and Bobby climb up each side. You can see the smile on both their faces as they reach the top and look down to see Bear-O-Dactyl still laid out from the carnage. Then with a fist pump the No Good Bastards reach up and take down the Tag Team Titles belt. Both men hold their title up high on the sky as the bell rings.
Alice Goldier: Here are your 2022 IIW Tag Team World Cup Tournament winners and NEW IIW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, THEM NO GOOD BASTARDS!!!!!
Mike Fisher: The Bastards have done it! Love them or hate them they are one of the very best Tag Teams in the world and tonight they proved it!!!
Bobby and TK climb off down the ladder as an IIW official comes down with the Big Gold CupTrophy to present to them in the middle of the ring. They hold up the IIW Tag Team Titles and The World Cup together as their music plays.
Mike Fisher: This truly is a great moment.
Scott James: No Good Bastards earned it but Bear-O-Dactyl had nothing to be ashamed of, they fought hard and really took the Bastards to their limit and I won’t be shocked if they get a rematch for those Tag Team Titles real soon.
Mike Fisher: I can believe that but first they must recover and deal with ATG.
Scott James: Speaking of the devil….
Rhett Dawson & Sawyer Wade come from out the crowd and hop the barricade and immediately attack the new IIW Tag Team Champions. They knock TK and Bobby down to the ground and begin to stomp them in the middle of the run before Rhett Dawson & Sawyer Wade grabs a steel ladder and use it as a weapon as they smash it into both their backs over and over again. Rhett then takes the World Cup Trophy and snakes Bobby with it and then they lift TK up for a double powerbomb on to the ladder and then kick them out of the ring.
Mike Fisher: I’m getting sick and tired of their actions.
Scott James: I don’t think they care at all, ATG is making their move and letting the tag team division know what’s good.
Rhett Dawson & Sawyer Wade then rolled out of the ring and both looked under the ring and drag out two tables and slid them inside the ring. Wade sets them up while Dawson picks up what’s left of Bear-O-Dactyl and rolls them in the ring.
Mike Fisher: Haven’t they done enough!
Scott James: Apparently not.
Dawson and Wade pick up Union Jack first, who can barely keep his legs under him and they hoist him up on Dawson’s shoulders and then hit a double powerbomb as they drive Union Jack right through the table. They laugh for a moment and then point at Pequeño Dinosaurio who stumbles to his feet and looks to still fight but he has no energy left as ATg overwhelms him with punches and kicks and then lift him up as well and he suffers the same faith as his partner as they hit a double powerbomb on him right through the tables.
Mike Fisher: This is disgusting behavior by ATG, by god they better be ready for the hell that will come behind this!
Scott James: Something tells me, they can’t wait for the consequences.
ATG stands in the middle of the ring, looking proud at their handy work as they leave both tag teams out.
We go to.the backstage area as the night is almost over as Osh and Shaun are seen walking out of a meeting room and look to be on better terms than they did when the night started. They seem to be smiling and laughing as they walk down the hall towards the outside parking lot and we zoom into get a better listen and view of the conversation.
Shaun: You know Osh I’m glad we got to talk and work things out. I’ve always been inspired by you to make this company great and I see your points on how things were going and I just want to say my bad and I look forward to working as a team and putting everything behind us.
Osh pats Shaun on the back as they walk out the double door exit of the arena.
Osh: I’m just glad you saw the light Shaun, you have a good head on shoulders. You just got influenced by the wrong people.
As the make it to the parking long a long black limousine pulls up.
Shaun: Yeah I know but things will be different now, but I see your ride is here so I’ll see you at the next show and make sure it ends with a bang just like this one.
Shaun gives a smirk as he and Osh shake hands.
Osh: Agreed Shaun, take care and I’ll see you for next Mayhem.
Osh gets inside the limousine and Shaun closes the door and begins to walk away from the limousine and towards back to the inside of the arena and pulls out his cellphone to make a call and after a couple rings a HUGE EXPLOSION COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM BEHIND SHAUN!!!!
Mike Fisher: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!
Scott James: IDK BUT IT ROCKED THIS WHOLE ARENA!!!
Shaun Hart gets up off the crowd and turns around to see Osh limosine up in flames and pieces of the vehicle torn apart everywhere around the parking lot and can hear nearby first responders on there way to the arena. Shaun walks towards the wreckage.
Shaun: Osh!Osh!Osh!Osh!Osh!
The show fades out with a screaming Shaun’s voice heard in the background
