[We see Johnny Serious hitting Got Serious'd on Mike Logan which shatters the screen and takes us to ringside. The camera pans around the the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, TX, Iowa as fireworks go off from the ceiling shooting towards the stage. The stage alights on both sides, then fireworks erupt from both sides of the cWo tron. The camera then focuses on Joel Nelson, Peter Tiger and Robbie Hart seated at the announce position.]

Nelson: After one of the most tumultuous pay per views in cWo history we are live here tonight in the American Bank Center here in Corpus Christi. Come one come all, this is cWo, we are live and we are Driven!

Tiger: Were live in what could otherwise be described as the land of confusion. A lot of chapters were closed at Veneration, but when the show came to a close, it didn't just open up a new chapter Joel, but we might as well open up a new book.

[A picture comes up on the screen showing a disgruntled Tony Awesome from the end of Veneration with Muru's World Championship on his shoulder.]

Tiger: Do not adjust your television screens guys, because what you're looking at actually happened. Tony Awesome left the United Center in Chicago with the World Championship that with help of Johnny Vandal, he confiscated from its rightful owner Muru.

Hart: Rightful owner? If he were the rightful owner he'd have the Championship right now!

Tiger: Well we expect to hear Tony Awesome's side of the story tonight.

Nelson: He'd better have a good explanation...

Dixon: The following Women's contest is scheduled for one fall!

DING DING DING

["Bone House" hits the PA system. As the intro passes, Nox Bones makes her way out the entrance way, she walks a steady pace down the aisle with an evil grin on her face.]

Dixon: Introducing first from Philidelphia, Pennsylvania...Nox Bones!!!!

Nelson: And here she comes, Nox Bones, and you know after going on hiatus over the last month I almost forgot that women come as out of control as Nox Bones is.

[Cameras catch a glimpse of a slim brunette girl wearing purple full body tights.]

Dixon: And her opponent, Jamie Bell!

Hart: Then you should see the women I hang out with!

Nelson: I'm surprised you survived the hiatus.

Hart: Let's just say I had a very merry Christmas!

Nelson: I don't want to know.

Tiger: Well the last time we saw Nox Bones, she impressively not only defeated Bellatrix Drake, but she put her out of commission, I've heard speculation of injuries but Ms. Drake hadn't released any official statement.

Hart: She's probably embarrassed! Isn't Nox great?

Nelson: I'm not ashamed to admit she scares the hell out of me.

Hart: How do you think this Jamie Bell feels?

Nelson: Hopefully she's aware of who she's dealing with.

[As both women are in the ring, Aaron Blake calls for the bell.]

DING DING DING

[Both women approach each other, but it's Nox Bones who makes the first move with a kick to the stomache that drops Jamie to her knees.]

Nelson: Oh! And it's Nox Bones instantly on the offensive!

[Nox grabs Jamie by the hair, bringing her back up to her feet, and flings her backwards as her head slams into the canvas.]

Nelson: And she takes the fresh faced Jamie Bell to the mat.

[Nox mounts the fallen Jamie as she pounds into her with heavy forearms.]

Hart: This might not take Nox very long! And look at this!

[Nox Bones begins biting Jamie Bell's forehead as Aaron Blake begins counting to five.]

Nelson: Didn't take long for Nox Bones to play dirty.

[Nox Bones stops at four as she steps off of Jamie. She sits Jamie up and looks menacingly to the crowd, holding Jamie by the hair.]

Hart: And you know I like a girl who can play dirty!

Tiger: We all know where Nox Bones' motives lie.

[Nox brings Jamie to her feet. She attempts to scoop slam her to the mat but on the way down Jamie armdrags Nox to the mat.]

Tiger: Let's get the obvious out of the way, Jamie Bell is a very pretty girl...

[Nox recovers quickly, but is met with another armdrag.]

Tiger: ...and it's no secret Nox Bones is genetically predisposed to try and make them less easy on the eyes.

[Jamie then rushes Nox Bones, as she leaps towards her and takes her to the mat with a monkey flip.]

Nelson: A monkey flip from Ms. Bell!

Tiger: Executed like a true pro! I like what I'm seeing of this girl!

Hart: Me too!

Nelson: Robbie maybe you should take a break for this one.

[Nox quickly crawls towards the opposite corner as Jamie confidently walks towards her. As Nox recovers in the corner, she hits a back body drop on Jamie, who goes over the top rope, but lands on the apron outside.]

Nelson: Whoa!

[Nox carelessly throws a front kick to the chest of Jamie, knocking her off the apron and to the floor.]

Tiger: And I present to you the turning point! A stiff kick leading up to a sick fall and the ball is now in Nox Bones' court.

{Aaron Blake keeps Nox Bones restrained in the inside of the ring as he counts Bell to a DQ. She's down and out up to a three count as Nox becomes impatient and exits the ring, to bring her back in. Inside the ring, Nox Bones hits a leapfrog elbow drop from the apron to Jamie Bell inside. She then places Jamie in a bow and arrow submission. She spends about forty five seconds in the hold.}

Tiger: Could be any second now that we could see a tap out victory for Nox Bones.

Nelson: She needs to find an escape if she wants to make an impression tonight.

Tiger: Unfortunate timing for Jamie Bell, I have a feeling Tony Awesome's mind isn't on how well Jamie does tonight, as much as it is coming up with a good explanation for Muru's screwjob at Veneration!

[Jamie Bell pries the fingers of Nox from off her chin as she rolls backwards and gets to her knees. She agonizingly climbs to her feet as Nox recovers as well.]

Nelson: Be that as it may, it appears Ms. Bell is finding her way out.

[Jamie Bell hits Nox Bones with a series of pained right hands Nox Bones.]

Nelson: And she's firing back!

[Jamie attempts an irish whip, but Nox stands her ground, and instead sends Jamie into the ropes.]

Nelson: Jamie hits the ropes!

[On the rebound Nox goes for a clothesline.]

Nelson: Nox misses the clothesline!

[Nox turns to face Jamie, who again hits the ropes, and hits Nox Bones with a leaping spinning back elbow.]

Nelson: Nox Bones is down!

[As Nox slowly recovers, Jamie keeps the momentum going as she runs against the ropes, and comes from behind Nox with a one armed bulldog.]

Nelson: Bulldogging Nox Bones to the mat.

Tiger: We could be looking at a potential upset!

Nelson: Wouldn't that be something?

[Jamie then rallies for the support of the crowd as she begins climbing to the top rope.]

Tiger: She's going to the top!

Nelson: Jamie Bell's gonna pull out all the stops tonight.

[Jamie leaps off the top rope as Nox recovers, but Nox catches her with a kick to the gut, as Jamie collapses to the mat.]

Nelson: No!

[Nox opportunistically pulls Jamie to her feet and places her in a double underhook.]

Tiger: Crucial error on Jamie Bell's end.

[Nox hits her trademark swinging butterfly suplex.]

Nelson: Pretty Persecution!

Hart: Well Jamie Bell thanks for comin'!

[Nox follows up, placing Jamie in her finishing bridging grounded double chickenwing.]

Nelson: And there's the Grindhouse.

[Quickly Jamie Bell submits as Aaron Blake calls for the bell.]

DING DING DING

Hart: Chalk another girl up on the list of women walking away from Nox Bones a little uglier!

Nelson: Nox Bones doesn't appear to be satisfied...

[Nox Bones keeps the hold applied as Aaron Blake pleads with her to relinquish the hold.]

Tiger: This girl is out of control!

Hart: Gotta respect someone who loves their job the way Nox Bones does!

Nelson: Some would consider this fascination of hers somewhat disgusting.

[Nox Bones relinquishes the hold as "Bone House" hits the PA system.]

Nelson: Mercifully she lets go. As unhinged as she may be she's definitely not an easy one to stop.

Tiger: It's gonna be hard to forget what she did to Bellatrix Drake, but keeping that in mind, we know that Bellatrix Drake wasn't the first victim of Nox Bones' and she certainly wasn't the last as we see here tonight.

[Nox Bones is handed a microphone upon request. A little tired, she pants into the mic as she speaks.]

Bones: Any other pretty girls wanna play with me?...

[Fans boo as she lets out a sinister laugh.]

Bones: It's starting to get too easy for me. I just wanna be pretty like all the other girls! And the only thing that would make me feel really pretty, is that Women's Championship!

Hart: Uh oh...

Bones: Evette. Don't worry if I break that pretty face of yours, you can always buy a new one!

[Nox again laughs sadistically as she drops the microphone. "Bone House" continues to play as she makes her leave.]

Hart: I think I have to object!

Nelson: Well "The Butcheress" definitely made a statement tonight!

Hart: Someone tell Evette, there's a psychopath and she's got her sights set on the prettiest girl in cWo!

Nelson: The prettiest married girl in cWo.

Hart: ...Right!

Nelson: Maybe during the commercial break you can give her fair warning. We're about to go to a break, but before we do that, let us inform you that later tonight surefire hall of famer Notorious JON finally gets his one on one match against a returning Victor Emmit.

[A graphic highlights the upcoming match.]

Hart: I've been waiting all Christmas break for this one.

Nelson: It's been a while, but we're about to go backstage for a word with Victor Emmit.

Hart: Yes!

Nelson: Duran?

[Backstage, Jason Duran looks at the camera with a microphone, as a haggard looking Victor Emmit stands to his left, donning a long beard, purple shades, an open psychedelicized shirt, as Tito Barnes stands supportively behind him.]

Duran: I'm backstage with Victor Emmit and Tito Barnes. Now Victor, last we saw you, you broke a boombox over the head of Notorious JON, who's been dying to get his hands on you ever since the attack, where've you been?

Emmit: As my Brother Tito Barnes has already told you, I was out on a rejuvinating spiritual journey.

Duran: A spiritual journey...because many people have been saying you've been hiding from Notorious JON.

Emmit: I may have been hidden but I was not hiding. If Notorious JON had any part in my absense it was be saving Jon from what I was going to do to him. My former compatriot and band leader had put me in a negative headspace. As a man who thrives on positive energy to become so damaged I had no choice but to regroup.

[Tito supportively pats Victor on the back.]

Barnes: That's right, energize my man.

Emmit: I've spent the last month consulting with the spirits of the fallen. From Hendrix to Morrison I seeked out and informed them of Notorious JON's rock 'n' roll treason.

Barnes: Tell 'em what they told you man!

Emmit: They told me that Jon's sins against that which rocks can not stand any further. Morrison told me that the only way to cross the river which dampens my chi is to walk through it. Notorious JON. You are the river, and tonight...

[Victor takes off his shades as the camera closes in on his face.]

Emmit: ...You get no quarter.

Nelson: Welcome back folks. I've been told that any minute now, we'll be hearing the long awaited explanation behind the attack and robbery of Muru at the hands of Johnny Vandal and Tony Awesome.

Hart: What I don't get is, Tony Awesome's the boss, why should he explain anything? What happened happened, it was his decision, and unlike you guys, I trust my boss!

Nelson: How can you trust a boss that would do such a thing to someone like Muru, who dedicated his life to this company and its fans?

Hart: I'm sure he has his reasons!

[The lights go black, suddenly laughter (that of Johnny Vandal's) is heard over the sound system, which is spliced into "Hysteria" by Muse. The lights beam to the entrance where Johnny Vandal emerges. Two streams of bright pyrotechnics shoot up endless amounts of sparks before two loud bangs cease the activity. Johnny Vandal then makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring.]

Hart: Speak of the devil himself, here he comes!

Nelson: The devil is right. If there's anyone worthy of the name you're looking at 'em right now. I know he's my boss, and I could get in trouble for my tone but Tony Awesome better have a damn good reason for what he did at Veneration!

Hart: Why don't you wait and hear him out before you bring out all the dramatics?

Nelson: I'm sorry but call me a skeptic, it's hard to believe that there's a justifiable reason to come out and humiliate a guy like Muru like that. A guy who didn't do anything wrong, a guy who won what he worked his entire tenure in cWo to win.

[Fans jeer as Johnny Vandal sits on the middle rope to assist Tony Awesome in the ring. Vandal follows after as Awesome enters. Awesome requests a microphone.]

Nelson: Make no mistake folks, that Title that hangs on the shoulder of the owner of this company does not belong to him.

Hart: What are you talking about? He owns the cWo, he can do whatever he wants with it!

Tiger: I can't wait to hear this...

[Vandal's music fades out as Tony Awesome surveys the audience, looking at thousands of booing people. He nods his head as he speaks.]

Awesome: Go ahead. Go ahead...

[Fans boo even louder as Awesome seems accepting of it.]

Awesome: I understand your frustration. I know you think I'm a bad guy.

Nelson: Think?

Hart: Quiet!

Awesome: Tonight I'm hoping that all of you will give me the benefit of the doubt as I try to explain to you, my side of the story. I know that Muru is a fan favorite of everyone here tonight.

Nelson: You're damn right!

["Muru" chants are heard as Awesome again nods his head acknowledging the fans feelings.]

Awesome: But if you people knew the Muru that I know you would understand why I did what I did at Veneration. You might not have been aware that Muru's contract expired as of December twentieth. For months prior to that expiration date Muru made the mistake of forgetting who's the boss in cWo. Every time I tried to negotiate a contract renewal Muru just couldn't leave well enough alone. He couldn't help but ask for guranteed Title shots, pay raises, main events, trying to see how much money he could swindle out of cWo's bank. And it all lead to Veneration, when I finally caved in.

I finally gave Muru what he wanted, a contract with garaunteed main events, garaunteed title shots, more money, everything he asked for, I told him that after the night's main event, win lose or draw, I'll meet him backstage and we'll sign the new contract. And I have that contract in my hand.

[Awesome raises the contract over his head. Awesome then turns to the camera.]

Awesome: But Muru, I had a change of heart.

[Tony Awesome rips up the contract as fans boo.]

Awesome: I'm sorry to everyone who may be let down and disappointed by the call I had to make, but that's why I'm the boss. The cWo doesn't need Muru and neither do you people.

Nelson: Some apology!

[Fans boo even louder. Tony Awesome then turns to a cocky Johnny Vandal.]

Awesome: Which brings me to you Johnny Vandal. I know you and I have had our differences in the past. But I think after Veneration you and I can truly see eye to eye, and I appreciate your helping me at Veneration. Dealing with Muru and the World Championship would have been very difficult without you, and I'd like to bury the hatchet tonight, and shake your hand Johnny, come on.

[Awesome extends his arm to Vandal.]

Nelson: I think I'm gonna be sick.

Hart: What? I think he's showing a lot of guts out here!

[After giving it a moment of thought, Johnny Vandal accepts the handshake. Awesome smiles as he continues.]

Awesome: Your actions will definitely go rewarded come Roll the Dice Johnny, that I can "garauntee". I wouldn't be surprised to see a World Title shot in your future.

[Vandal looks like he has something on his mind as he requests the mic from Awesome. Tony gives the microphone to Vandal.]

Vandal: Go on, let's hear it.

[Crowd boos louder as Vandal smirks in the ring.]

Vandal: Broken record. Do you want to know why I did what I did? It's simple. Another notch on the belt. I was at the right place at the right time, and thanks to Tony here, I am partly responsible for Muru, your BELOVED MURU, being defeated and destroyed, never to return to the place he once loved. And what better a way for him to leave than by being Vandalized for all of you to see?

[The crowd groans louder as Vandal takes much pleasure in the hate of the fans.]

Vandal: I never have gotten along with Tony Awesome. I've never seen eye to eye with him, and frankly, I've cost him a pretty penny. But I saved him quite a bit of money by doing the right thing and making sure Muru doesn't get what he wants. And what you people think is right. So with Muru gone, I'm given the chance of a lifetime to finally make myself WORLD CHAMPION, and there is no one who can hold me back.

[Suddenly, Clutch's "Electric Worry" starts playing over the PA system.]

Nelson: I thought it would never end! Here comes Devon Dice!

[The crowd goes wild as Devon Dice walks out onto the stage with Johnny Serious and Chazz Mendel in tow.]

Nelson: And he's got Chazz Mendel AND Johnny Serious with him!

[The three men stand on the stage staring down at a smug looking Johnny Vandal and Tony Awesome. Dice pulls a mic out as "Electric Worry" stops playing.]

Dice: You two should be ashamed of yourselves. Muru took your crap, he did whatever you asked him. For months he was slaved as a ring announcer because he just wasn't a wrestler. Well he's proved that he's more than just a wrestler, he's the World Champion of the cWo.

As much as I am happy to be the only back to back Lord of Punishment and retaining my title all throughout the tournament, I feel ashamed to have a boss like you. You're pony boy, Vandal, is not the answer to your prayers, your just bringing a knife to a gunfight. You took away a close friend of ours, but us three are going to see you get yours in the end.

[Dice hands the mic over to Serious to a huge ovation.]

Serious: Dice is right. I mean I only have one question for both you Vandal and you Tony. Are you SERIOUS!

[The crowd cheers]

Serious: I mean having problems with Muru is one thing, I mean that is expected. But what you two did was a disgrace. Come on Tony, think about it. You not only left us with no cWo World Champion, but we are down an amazing competitor, probably one of the best that cWo has to offer.

Awesome: Now Joh....

[Serious cuts him off.]

Serious: No no no no no no no! I am not finished speaking yet. All right, you had your turn, and you spit out that SERIOUS garbage earlier.

[The crowd goes wild.]

Serious: Last year, I worked my ass off to help cWo get rid of Heretic and his crazy antics. I didn't put my body on the line so that you morons can come out here and screw over one of the good guys in this company. And let me be straightforward with you two clowns, because for the record, the only thing these great cWo fans are going to be paying for is to watch the three of us get SERIOUS on Johnny Vandal!

[Serious passes the mic off to Chazz who gets a good ovation from the crowd. Vandal and Awesome are standing in the ring acting quite bored with the situation.]

Mendel: So let me get this straight. You screw over the world champion of cWo, and the best option you could come up with to replace him is Johnny Vandal?

[Tony Awesome and Johnny Vandal both nod.]

Mendel: See, that's where I, these two guys standing next to me, and the rest of the known UNIVERSE disagree!

[The crowd lets out a cheer.]

Mendel: I know for a fact that I'm a better option than Johnny Vandal. So are Devon Dice and Johnny Serious. [Chazz points to a fan in standing just behind the security barricade.] Even that guy is a better choice! Johnny Vandal is a hell of a long way from being the "perfect" champion, Tony. All I need is a chance. Put me in the ring against Johnny Vandal tonight and I'll SHOW you perfection!

[Vandal and Awesome both look at each other and talk it over amongst themselves.]

Awesome: No.

[The crowd boos loudly.]

Nelson: Could've seen that coming a mile away.

Hart: Johnny Vandal is the perfect champion! Chazz Mendel isn't the perfect opponent, obviously!

Awesome: Do I have to remind you of what happened to you the last time you were in the ring with Johnny Vandal, Chazz? I understand if you three are upset, but this is none of your business.

Nelson: What?

Awesome: The only two people who should be out here right now are Johnny Vandal and myself. And for no other reason than for interrupting me tonight, I'll give you a match.

Mendel: Bring it on!

Awesome: But it's not the match you want. Tonight you'll be facing the two men standing next to you in a handicapped match!

[Mendel looks over at Serious and Dice. The three men not sure what to think.]

Nelson: Whoa! The Boss just dropped a bombshell on Chazz Mendel! He wanted Johnny Vandal, but he's getting Johnny Serious AND Devon Dice!

Awesome: And just so we're clear. If you even so much as THINK about taking a dive, you'll be joining Muru on the unemployment line! If ANY of you want to be around come Roll The Dice, you better start realizing who's house you're playing in.

[The crowd starts booing intensly as Vandal and Awesome look on with sadistic smiles on their faces. On the stage, Mendel throws up his hands mouthing "what else are we gonna do?" while backing away from Dice and Serious as the cameras go backstage.]

Nelson: Welcome back to cWo Driven. Where it looks like this Johnny Vandal problem is gonna get worse before it gets any better.

Tiger: As we were treated to an explanation for what happened at Veneration, friends of Muru, Devon Dice, Chazz Mendel, and Johnny Serious took exception. Unfortunately their opinion mattered little to the cWo president, and this happened.

[We see footage of before the break.]

Awesome: The only two people who should be out here right now are Johnny Vandal and myself. And for no other reason than for interrupting me tonight, I'll give you a match.

Mendel: Bring it on!

Awesome: But it's not the match you want. Tonight you'll be facing the two men standing next to you in a handicapped match!

[Mendel looks over at Serious and Dice. The three men not sure what to think.]

Nelson: Whoa! The Boss just dropped a bombshell on Chazz Mendel! He wanted Johnny Vandal, but he's getting Johnny Serious AND Devon Dice!

Awesome: And just so we're clear. If you even so much as THINK about taking a dive, you'll be joining Muru on the unemployment line! If ANY of you want to be around come Roll The Dice, you better start realizing who's house you're playing in.

[We return to the announce booth.]

Hart: Can you believe it? Haha! And they said Tony Awesome would never read emails!

Nelson: Well I'm glad someone is having fun.

Hart: Are you kidding? I never knew I had such a cool boss!

Nelson: I never knew insecurity to be so cool.

Hart: You keep this up and I'll start sending Tony emails about you!

["One Day as a Lion" hits the PA system. Shortly thereafter come the arrival of John Pilchard, Amber Lynn, Mac Johnson, and Ryan Shane as fans boo their entrance.]

Tolberg: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome to the ring, being accompanied to the ring by John Pilchard and Amber Lynn. Mac Johnson and Ryaaaaan Shaaaaane!

Nelson: Well as we advertised earlier in the broadcast it is time for a Mac Johnson and Ryan Shane Tag Team Open Challenge.

Hart: Who's going to willingly come out here and challenge these two after Veneration, Joel? Mac Johnson and Ryan Shane dominated until Chazz Mendel decided to bust out the steel furniture!

Nelson: There's no denying an awesome performance from these two at the pay per view.

Tiger: No not at all. They proved that without a shadow of a doubt these two can hang with two former World Champions, heck, they were the ones to issue the challenge! Robbie is right, it's gonna take some big time names to have what it takes to willingly step in the ring with these two.

[The group flood the ring that is currently vacated by referee Sean Easton and Ring Announcer Tiffany Tolberg. John Pilchard takes the microphone from Tiffany Tolberg. The music dies down as the group take center stage.]

Pilchard: Before we make our open challenge tonight I have to get something off my chest. Everyone's talking about Muru this, Muru that, well you know what? I've been backstage enough to know that Muru got what he deserved!

Nelson: Oh he doesn't know what he's talking about!

Pilchard: You wanna talk screwjobs? And I mean real screwjobs? We got screwed at Veneration by none other than cWo's resident "goody two-shoes" Johnny Serious and his washed up, rusty bucket sidekick Chazz Mendel!

[Fans boo louder as Pilchard continues.]

Hart: Tell 'em John!

Pilchard: Almost a year ago I made a promise to everyone that Mac Johnson would be main eventing this year's Cyberslam. That everyone would be talking about Mac Johnson, and it's been an uphill battle from day one! My client Mac Johnson has yet to see a Title shot, where is Mac Johnson's main event spot? Do you people know who I am?

Nelson: I wish I didn't.

Pilchard: I make stars! I put Johnny Serious on the map! Cyberslam is mere months away, and I don't care what I have to do, Mac Johnson will be on the marquee! You people will be talking about Mac Johnson, and it all starts tonight! And it starts....with you...

[Pilchard turns to look at Amber Lynn, Mac Johnson turning to face Ryan Shane. The two look baffled as Pilchard continues.]

Hart: What?

Pilchard: If you wanna move faster you gotta drop unnecessary weight. One month ago working with the two of you seemed like a good idea, but when Johnny Serious pinned you, Ryan Shane, Mac and I quickly made up our minds. You two have had a free ride on the Mac's coattails for long enough.

[Lynn pulls Pilchard's hand towards her, as she forcefully speaks into his microphone.]

Lynn: Are you kidding me? Are you seriously blaming Ryan Shane for losing at Veneration?

[Pilchard pulls his microphone back.]

Pilchard: You're damn right I'm blaming Ryan Shane! If roles were reversed, Mac Johnson would have kicked out! Ryan Shane wasn't our first choice you kno-

[Pilchard drops the mic as Amber Lynn slaps him in the face.]

Tiger: Whoa!

Nelson: Thank you Amber Lynn!

[Mac Johnson then pushes Pilchard aside as he gets in Amber Lynn's face, fans cheer as Amber stands her ground. Ryan Shane quickly pushes Amber aside to get in Mac's face. The two stare down as Pilchard picks up the mic.]

Pilchard: You..you dare put your hands on me? Well you know what? Change of plans! This isn't a tag team open challenge anymore, this is a Mac Johnson showcase! And Ryan Shane is the first customer! Then you'll see why everyone will be talking about Mac Johnson!

[Amber Lynn gets in Pilchard's face and responds.]

Lynn: We accept!

Tiger: This should be good!

[Sean Easton then calls for the bell.]

DING DING DING

[Shane quickly starts throwing punches at Mac.]

Nelson: Ryan Shane not wasting time here, he's going right after Mac.

[Shane whips Mac across the ropes and dropkicks him, stumbling Mac into corner.]

Tiger: Big dropkick, Mac in the corner.

[Shane charges Mac and hits a big leaping knee to the face of Mac.]

Nelson: Big knee, Mac may be seeing stars.

Hart: This isn't a good start.

[Mac stumbles out of the corner, Shane bounces off the ropes and takes Mac down with a bulldog.]

Nelson: Down they go.

Tiger: He's got to keep the pressure on.

Hart: Or else it's going to be trouble for Ryan Shane if he allows Mac to recover.

[Shane goes for a quick cover.]

ONE

TWO

[Mac bench presses Shane off of him.]

Nelson: Impressive kick out.

Hart: That's just a warm up for him.

[Shane gets up grabs Mac and sets up for a suplex.]

Tiger: Shane trying to suplex the big man.

Hart: I don't see this happening.

[Shane struggles with Mac. Mac reverses it and lifts Shane up and holds him up inverted.]

Nelson: Mac displaying his strength holding Shane straight up in the air.

Hart: Impressive, Ryan Shane is officially in trouble.

[Mac slams Shane to the ground with the suplex.]

Tiger; And a thunderous suplex from Mac Johnson.

[Pilchard is seen taunting Amber Lynn from across the ring.]

Nelson: And John Pilchard taunting Amber Lynn.

Hart: Well he's into his client, he knows Ryan Shane was the reason they lose at Veneration.

[Mac lifts Shane up and sends him into the corner, he charges him and lands a splash in the corner.]

Nelson: Big splash in the corner.

[Mac whips Shane across the ring, follows and lands another big splash.]

Hart: The big Mac Attack is on!

Tiger: 300 plus pounds coming down on you is not fun.

[Mac whips Shane back across the ring and lands a third splash.]

Nelson: And a third, leaving Shane struggling to stand in the corner.

Hart: Don't forget struggling to breathe.

[Mac throws Shane down in the middle of the ring and stands over him. Mac begins to dance in place and taunt the booing crowd with cupped hands by his ears.]

Nelson: That's not right.

Tiger: These fans have every right to boo him.

Hart: Everybody hates a winner, I wonder why.

[Mac bounces off the ropes, leaps over the down Ryan Shane, springboards onto the middle rope and lands a moonsault.]

Nelson: OH the impact! Mac Tonight!

Tiger: Very graceful for such a big man.

Nelson: This has got to be in, Ryan Shane is in bad shape.

[Mac lifts up Shane and sets him up in pump handle position and slams him down with a pump handle powerslam.]

Hart: Brilliant!

Nelson: It's definitely over now after that Mac Five!

[Pilchard yells from the outside.]

Pilchard: AGAIN!

Nelson: And John Pilchard telling Mac to continue the punishment.

Tiger: This is gone far enough, he's got it won.

Hart: The boss doesn't think so, I would think John Pilchard knows what's best.

[Mac lifts up Shane and delivers another Mac Five.]

Nelson: Oh for Pete's sake!

Hart: Who's Pete?

[Pilchard yells again.]

Pilchard: ONE MORE!

Tiger: Someone stop this please

[Mac lifts up Shane and delivers a third Mac Five and the referee calls for the bell.]

DING DING DING

Dixon: Here is you winner due to referee stoppage, Mac Johnson!

Nelson: Finally it's over, good call by Sean Easton.

[Mac and Pilchard share a laugh outside the ring as Amber rushes in to check on Ryan Shane. "One Day as a Lion" hits the PA system as Mac holds his arms up victoriously.]

Dixon: The winner of this match via pinfall. Mac Jooooohnsooon!

Hart: It's a night of making a statement!

Nelson: This is an impressive, albeit excessive win for Mac Johnson, and in the crooked shape cWo is in Mac Johnson may be headed for the main event of Cyberslam after all!

Tiger: Mac Johnson got lost in the wilderness for the better part of the last year, but I'll be damned if he doesn't have momentum on his side after this one. Ryan Shane is a travelled and tested athlete and Mac Johnson more than decisively beat him tonight.

Nelson: Only time will tell what the future holds for Mac.

Hart: It's gotta be better than what the future has in store for Notorious JON tonight!

[A graphic highlights Victor Emmit versus Notorious JON.]

Hart: If I could have seen the things Victor Emmit has seen over the past couple of months who knows the man I'd be today.

Nelson: I think Victor Emmit spent a lot of time in dreamland.

Hart: Not a chance. It's Notorious JON who's in dreamland, and you know what? It's time to wake up!

Nelson: Commercial break headed your way, but that match is tonight!

[Mr. Rich, in his usual business suit and Evette, with her cWo Women's championship belt are walking backstage. Evette has a bandage on her left eye.]

Nelson: And there they are, the most dangerous couple in professional wrestling today!

Hart: What are you talking about?

Nelson: How about the way they stole that Women's Championship match at Veneration. For those of you who missed out on the PPV, he is what happened.

[VENERATION FLASHBACK: Evette vs Cassie Charisma for the cWo Women's Title.]

Nelson: This one can be over as Cassie now jumps up to the top turnbuckle.

[Cassie leaps off the top turnbuckle with a moonsault...]

Nelson: And Evette ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND CASSIE LANDS FACE FIRST....

Hart: Evette outsmarts Cassie once again boys!

[Mr. Rich stands on the apron and goes to enter the ring as Referee Miles goes towards him to prevent him from entering the ring.]

Nelson: What are these two up now!

[As the referee is distracted, Evette goes for her Gold Purse.]

Nelson: We all knew this would happen!

Hart: Knew what would happen? That your big mouth would hog all the air time!

[Evette goes to a corner, grabs her purse and turns around...]

Nelson: And Cassie is up and in Evette's face....

[Cassie grabs the purse from Evette's hand and in doing so, easily pushes Evette down to the mat in the process. Mr. Rich quickly jumps down from the apron as Miles turns around to the action.]

Nelson: And Referee Miles is calling for the bell!

DING DING DING

Nelson: What the hell just happened?

[Referee Miles whispers to Mic Benson.]

Benson: Here is your winner by disqualification, and still cWo Women's Champion, EVETTEEEEE!!!!!!

[Back to Driven]

Nelson: My only question is, what are these two up to right now?

Mr. Rich: This is ridiculous! Make me waste my time coming to this hell hole only to find out that I am nowhere on the card.

Evette: These people show me no respect. I am the Champion of all Women and yet I get no screen time at all.

[Tffany Tolberg runs up to Evette and Mr. Rich with a microphone.]

Tolberg: Excuse me, Evette.

[Evette and Mr. Rich stop for a moment.]

Evette: What do you want?

Tolberg: I wanted to talk about your championship match with Cassie Charisma at Veneration.

Evette: Oh yeah, what about it?

Tolberg: A lot of talk has been going around how you manipulated that victory and how...

Evette: And how what? Huh? Let me tell you missy, Cassie Charisma clearly hit me over the head with my purse. God only knows what she stuffed in their. And now I am left with an injury the likes no women has ever seen before. It is so bad that they kept me off the card tonight at Driven.

Tolberg: Oh come on!

[Mr. Rich gets in the face of Tiffany.]

Mr. Rich: You know? That is the problem with you low class skanks. You will do anything to make us better people look bad. I was there at that match. I saw what that peasant girl did to my beautiful wife. The cWo should be ashamed that they let a women like Cassie Charisma roam the hallways.

Toldberg: I think many in the cWo and the fans watching on TV would say that you guys masterminded that whole plan.

[Evette slaps Tiffany in the face.]

Evette: How dare you girl. How dare you call me and my husband liar's.

[Evette and Mr. Rich turn around and exit a door. The camera men follow them to a Limo. They get in the limo and drive off. Camera's then go to a stunned Tiffany Tolberg.]

Hart: The audacity of our Tiffany to question Mr. Rich and Evette, the most respected people in this business today.

Nelson: Respected?

Tiger: Yeah, I saw the same match you did Joel. There is no respect for what Evette and Mr. Rich pulled in order to retain the Women's Title.

[A picture of Ronald Reagan appears on the screen and "Push it to the LImit" by Paul Engemann begins to play, begining a montage of American Capitalism. Pictures of money. Stock brokers in suits hard at work. Fast cars. Boats. Private jets. The crowd boos as Thad Walker steps out from behind the curtain wearing Raybans and a double breasted suit and followed by Chet Fowler and the Captains of Industry.]

Nelson: At Veneration, Thad Walker thought he'd tear down Lamont Dalmon's Rube Foster Rec Center, but Mr. T had other plans!

Hart: Thad won the match! He was legally allowed to tear it down, and T stuck his nose where it didn't belong!

Tiger: Well, someone had to stand up for those kids, Robbie.

[Thad climbs into the ring with his entourage. He looks around at the booing crowd, then hands the mic to Chet Fowler.]

Chet: Shut up, Geeks!

[The crowd boos even louder.]

Walker: You know, when they told me I'd be going to Texas, I thought I'd be around men like J.R. Ewing and other oil barons. But instead, I'm forced to stand here and deal with all of you dumb hayseeds!

[The crowd continues to boo, Chet takes the mic again.]

Chet: Zip it, cowpokes!

Walker: Thanks, amigo. I thought I'd see someone here I respected, but I don't respect a single one of your pieces of garbage! There isn't a single one of you that can travel in my circles! Not a single one of you who could even qualify for a gold card like I have! This suit I'm wearing? If I put all of you together, you still wouldn't be worth as much as my suit!

Walker: But you know who I do respect? I respect people who are the best at what they do, people who have the drive, the talent, the determination to be better than everyone else. And do you know what, hicks? I respect Mr. T!

Tiger: He respects him? More like he's terrified of him!

Walker: Mr. T's a great talent. I mean, i watch his show every week! I rooted for him against Rocky! He's not just a great actor, but he's got an action figure, his face on t-shirts, he's a true captain of industry in every sense of the word! But for some reason Mr. T has decided I'm an enemy, and believe me, I don't want that. So Mr. T, why don't we clear the air?

Nelson: Walker wants to confront Mr. T!

Hart: What a class act!

MIS-TER T!

[The opening theme to Mr. T's cartoon plays and the crowd pops as Mr. T steps out from behind the entrance curtain. He's dressed in his usual camo and 20lbs or gold chains. The crowd cheers as he walks towards the ring. Thad Walker backs up and motions for his entourage to stay back as he looks down from the ring.]

Nelson: Doesn't look like Thad wants any part of Mr. T, does it?

[Mr. T climbs into the ring and immediatly cocks his fist, causing Thad to put up his hands and beg him off.]

Walker: Please, T-

Mr.T: MISTER T, sucka!

Walker: Mr. T, Sir, hear me out! You and I have a lot in common! I'm not your enemy, T!

Mr. T: We got a lot in common? I ain't nothin like you, foo! I never mess with the kids!

Walker: Woah woah, hear me out..

Mr. T: Nah! I'm done listening to you, Walker! You came to my hometown and tried to mess wit' my kids? You try to tear down the only place they can play b-ball? I'ma knock your yuppie head off, chump!

[Mr. T raises his fist and runs towards Thad, who immediatly shoves the Captains of Industry in front of him and cowers in the corner.]

Walker: Wait, wait! Please!

Mr.T: I'm done waitin! Fight me like a man!

[T lunges, and the two Captains of Industry immedialy dive out of the way, leaving Thad completely exposed!]

Tiger: It looks like none of Thad's friends want anything to do with T!

[T grabs Thad by the collar and pulls him to his feet.]

Mr.T: I'ma knock you into next week.

Walker: Wait, you don't wanna do this?

Mr. T: I pity the fool that tells me what I wanna do!

Walker: You don't wanna do this, because if you touch me, you're history, pal!

[T raises his fist.]

Walker: I'm serious, T! I'll sue you for every dime you have! I know the studio heads, you'll never work in Hollywood again!

[T hesistates, his fist shakes.]

Nelson: Just clock him, T!

Mr. T: You call yourself a wrestler? Can't even take a punch?

Walker: But YOU'RE not a wrestler, T! You touch me, and you'll be prosecuted just like anyone else!

[The crowd begins a "T" chant as Mr. T thinks over his next move.]

Walker: But go ahead, T. Knock my teeth out. One call to my lawyer and I'll be driving your GMC Custom van myself!

Hart: You tell him, Thad!

Walker: Do it, show these kids what kind of man you are. A THUG, just like everyone else in your neighborhood! Just like all the other kids that'll grow up pumping my gas for a living! Maybe you can run a rec center in jail!

[T pulls Walker closer, then suddenly lets go and shoves him to the ground.]

Mr. T: You ain't worth it, chump. If I can't knock you out, I think I know someone who can. This ain't over, Walker. It's just begining!

[The Mr. T theme plays again and the crowd cheers as T throws down the mic and climbs out of the ring.]

Nelson: Looks like cWo just found a way to spell war with a T!

Hart: That's cut Joel, but if he had any balls he'd take Thad on himself, he talks a big game and hides behind semantics! Who can stand Mr. T long enough to fight his battles for him?

Nelson: I'm sure there are many people in the locker room who would like to get a piece of Thad Walker.

Hart: For what reason?

Nelson: Need I remind you that at Veneration we saw him attempt to destroy the very rec center that had become a second home to Lamont Washington?

Hart: He earned the right to do that fair and square!

Nelson: Yeah right.

Tiger: Stay tuned after the break guys, we got Victor Emmit taking on Notorious JON and that's next, and there's still our main event of Chazz Mendel taking on Devon Dice and Johnny Serious in a handicap match.

Hart: Ha-ho! What a night!

Victor Emmit vs. Notorious JON

[The most epic entrance video ever plays and "Search and Destroy" by Iggy Pop begins to play as Notorious JON steps out from behind the entrance curtain with his arms raised. The crowd cheers loudly as he quickly drops his arms, prompting a flurry of pyrotechnics on either side of the ramp as he walks to the ring.]

DING DING DING

Benson: This match is scheduled for one fall! Entering the ring first, he weighs in at two hundred and sixty pounds. Hailing from Hollywood, California. Notoriouuuuuus Joooooon!

Nelson: And you don't need to have the volume turned very high to get a feel for how much Corpus Christi loves Notorious JON!

Hart: A sellout crowd for a sellout! How appropriate!

Nelson: You wanna talk about a sellout? How about your sudden appreciation for cWo owner Tony Awesome?

Hart: Just because I appreciate a job well done doesn't mean I'm a sellout! At least someone appreciates the boss!

Nelson: I always admired Tony Awesome's work for the cWo but after tonight I just don't know.

Hart: And I'm the sellout?

[Then, Big Chief's "10 Karat Pinky Ring" hits the PA system. A moment after the intro passes, a focused and determined Victor Emmit steps out from the entrance way, the lights are slightly dimmed as we see colourful spotlights rotating around the arena. Victor comes out in a full body tye-dye robe, wearing his purple shades, as Tito Barnes talks smack confidently behind him.]

Benson: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Tito Barnes. He weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds, hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia. Victor Emmmmiiiiitt!

Hart: Have you ever seen Victor Emmit like this? He looks more dangerous than ever!

Nelson: He looks like a psychedelic unabomber!

Hart: Hey you better watch it! If Tito hears you making fun of Victor he won't think twice to slap you in the mouth!

Nelson: I'm just saying. Victor talks about this spiritual journey but I think he's just been watching Dazed and Confused ad nauseum.

Hart: You're supposed to be professional!

Nelson: Let me make it clear, Victor Emmit is a talent in the ring, but what year is this?

[In the ring, Emmit passes his robe over the top rope to a supportive Tito on the outside.]

Tiger: Joel whatever Tony Awesome's brought out of you tonight I'm loving it!

Nelson: I'll try to rein it in. I know I'm being unprofessional, but after what's gone on lately it's hard not to speak my mind.

Hart: It's alright. Once that bell rings party's over!

[The music fades as Victor anxiously jogs his feet on the mat. Referee Sean Easton calls for the bell.]

DING DING DING

[Victor charges towards Notorious JON. Jon prepares to lunge towards Victor with a right hand, but before he can make contact, Victor already falls down.]

Tiger: Didn't even have to hit him to take him down!

[Victor holds his arms out, begging off Jon as he slowly walks towards him.]

Nelson: It looks like Victor can talk the talk but he can't walk the walk!

[Victor crawls back into the corner as Jon grabs him by the throat.]

Hart: Ah!

Nelson: Got him by the neck!

[Victor is forced to his feet, as Jon throws him to the center of the ring with a big hip toss.]

Nelson: And he slams Victor Emmit to the mat with authority!

Tiger: Big hangtime there!

[Victor gets to his feet, he again begs off Jon, but as Jon approaches, Victor fakes him out and lunges with a right hand that connects, but Jon shrugs it off and knees Emmit in the gut.]

Nelson: Notorious JON has been waiting for this moment!

[Jon goes for a body slam, but Victor wriggles out of it and lands behind him.]

Hart: Look now!

[Victor runs against the ropes, and he charges Jon, who captures Victor in a fireman's carry position.]

Nelson: That's a Wrap!

Hart: No!

[Victor again wriggles free, he falls to the mat and rolls to the outside of the ring.]

Nelson: And he's out of there!

[He closes his eyes as he turns his back to Notorious JON, who stands inside the ring with his hands on his hips.]

Tiger: It's becoming apparent that Victor's not as prepared as we may have thought him to be.

Hart: There's a method to his madness alright?

Nelson: Is he...meditating?

[Tito keeps an eye on Jon as he massages Victor's brain.]

Hart: Man, where can I get a friend like Tito Barnes?

[Fans boo as Tito can be heard saying "remember what Jimi said".]

Nelson: Did you hear that? "Remember what Jimi said". Ridiculous.

Hart: Now, Victor's a very spiritual person, who are you to say that he can't talk to the dead?

Nelson: Call me a skeptic.

[Victor nods his head, seemingly ready to go. Victor climbs back on the apron, but leans far back as an anxious Notorious JON approaches him. Sean Easton gets between Jon and Victor as Tito in a high pitched squeal shouts "back his ass up! The hell's wrong wit'chu!?".]

Nelson: If Victor's plan is to waste as much time as possible he's certainly doing that right now.

Tiger: Don't sell him short though, like Robbie Hart said, there may be a method to his madness.

[Victor enters the ring, as Easton gets out of the way, both men approach each other as Jon downs Victor with a right hand.]

Nelson: Well so far his method is a bust as Jon takes him down!

[A series of right hands keeps a returning Victor Emmit back down to the mat. He follows up with an irish whip.]

Nelson: And he hits the ropes!

[On the rebound, Jon takes Emmit down with a big boot.]

Nelson: And a big boot from Notorious JON!

Hart: Ohhh no!

[Fans cheer as Victor again attempts to evade the ring, but Jon grabs him by the foot. Victor scratches and claws as he tries to climb out but Jon pulls him back in.]

Nelson: You can't win by running away!

[Jon forces Victor up to his feet, and delivers a forearm to his head, before whipping him into the turnbuckle.]

Nelson: Into the corner!

Hart: Oh no!

[Jon charges after Victor with a body avalanche, but Victor gets out of the way. Jon hits the corner chest first.]

Hart: Look at this!

[Victor then rolls Jon with a schoolboy pin, putting his feet up on the second rope.]

ONE

TWO

Hart: HA! No!

Nelson: Jon barely escapes an illegal pin!

Hart: Illegal!

Tiger: I could only imagine how that would've felt!

[Victor slaps the mat as Jon sits up, still a bit winded by the run into the corner, as Victor gets up sends a clothesline into the chest of a seated Notorious JON.]

Hart: Oh!

Nelson: And there's the clothesline.

[Victor goes for the pin again.]

Hart: Come on...

ONE

[Jon kicks out just before two.]

Nelson: Nope.

Hart: Aww! Hey look!

Tiger: He's choking him!

[Fans boo as Victor desperately chokes Jon, Sean Easton counts to four before Victor relinquishes the choke.]

Hart: He's got four seconds to do it, why not?

[Victor then clutches Jon's head and delivers rapid right punches, prompting Easton to once again count to four.]

{With the advantage to Victor Emmit, Victor continues to dominate a portion of the match, stomping arrogantly at the body of Notorious JON. He hits a series of quick leg drops on the body of Notorious JON before placing him in a seated Mexican Surfboard Stretch for roughly over thirty seconds.}

Hart: Nothing's better than a plan that comes together! And what we're witnessing is a man with a plan that's truly paying off right now!

[With the support of the audience on his side, Notorious JON rapidly shakes his arms, raising them over his head and flipping Victor's body over in front of him.]

Nelson: You perhaps spoke too soon!

[Victor hesitates as he gets up to a crawl and uses the ropes to help himself back up, meanwhile Jon slowly attempts to recover.]

Tiger: Jon's free for now but for how long?

[Jon gets to his feet but Victor greets him with a kick to the stomach.]

Hart: Stay on him!

[Victor then rushes Jon with a combination of right and left sidekicks.]

Hart: Yeah! Oh!

[With Jon stunned, Victor hits the ropes.]

Hart: He's teetering!

[On the rebound, Jon catches Victor with a hard back elbow that sends Victor to the mat.]

Nelson: Jon just broke through Victor's offense with an elbow that stuffed Victor Emmit in the face!

Hart: He might've lost a tooth!

[Jon takes a moment to recover as Victor is flattened on the mat.]

Tiger: And that may have been just the ticket for Notorious JON.

[Jon approaches a recovering Victor Emmit slowly, as Victor is up, Jon pushes him back into the corner.]

Nelson: Notorious JON now isolating Victor in the corner with repeated knees to the midsection.

Hart: Victor being the smaller, younger, faster of the two, this is a good move to slow him down.

Nelson: Indeed.

[Moving on with his attack, Jon pulls away from Victor, and attempts a big forearm blast to the head, but Victor ducks under it.]

Hart: Wait!

[Victor winds up behind Jon as the two turn to face each other. Victor goes for a kick to the stomach, but Jon catches his foot, but Victor quickly turns it into an enziguri.]

Hart: Ooooh now we're talking!

[Notorious JON stumbles in a daze, as Victor Emmit gets up, and runs against the ropes, on the rebound he hits a hard dropkick to the right leg of Jon.]

Hart: Oooooh!

Tiger: That hit Jon good!

{Victor Emmit spends the next couple minutes working the right leg of Notorious JON. He delivers repeated elbow drops to the inside of the leg, as Notorious JON tries without success to defend himself. Victor Emmit goes for a submission as he attempts a kneebar, which he applies successfully for little over a minute.}

Nelson: Notorious JON making a crawl for the ropes.

Tiger: If he makes it though you gotta wonder. Notorious JON is a big man, a lot of man to carry one good leg.

Nelson: If he wants to win he's gonna have to fight through it and yes, there it is, he's got the ropes!

[Sean Easton notifies Victor of the rope break, and gives him a count of four before Victor breaks.]

Hart: He's lucky for now!

{Victor continues his assault, repeatedly propping up Notorious JON's leg on the first rope, and slamming his backside down on it.}

Tiger: Victor is expertly breaking that leg apart.

Nelson: I never once sold Victor Emmit short in the ring. He might be a creep outside of it, but he's very capable inside.

[Once again Victor attempts to slam down on the leg of Jon, but Jon puts his left foot on the backside of Victor, and kicks him up over the top rope.]

Tiger: But with evasive maneuvers like that we're reminded why Notorious JON is a grizzled veteran in this business!

[Victor lies down on the protective mat outside, when Tito gets anxious, trying to get him back in the fight, he picks Victor up and rolls him back in the ring. Sean Easton takes exception to the move as he shouts at Tito to leave the arena to the pleasure of the live fans.]

Nelson: Looks like referee Sean Easton has a low tolerance for outside interference in this match!

Hart: He's just trying to help things out! He didn't do anything wrong!

Nelson: Tell that to the referee!

Hart: I should!

Tiger: It's undoubtedly shady to be helping Victor in the ring like that, he's lucky we're not looking at a DQ.

[Tito begrudgingly leaves as Victor sits up, taking notice to what's happening, looking disappointed at the sight. He gets up and gets in Sean Easton's face as the two argue over what has transpired.]

Hart: Keep your eyes on the prize Victor!

Nelson: Looks like Victor and the referee are having it out.

[Victor takes his attention to a seated and wounded Jon, when Victor promptly hits a basement dropkick into the head of Jon.]

Hart: That'll do it!

[Victor goes for a pin.]

ONE

TWO

Nelson: Kickout at two!

Hart: Stay on him!

[Victor puts Jon in position close to the corner.]

Hart: I like where this is going.

[Victor climbs to the second rope, he looks down on the body of Jon, before slowly raising his metal horned hands over his head, screaming triumphantly as the fans boo. He leaps, going for an elbow drop on Notorious JON, who moves out of the way at the last second.]

Hart: Oh no!

Nelson: Wise move on Notorious JON's part.

Hart: Wise move? All he did was roll over! I do that in my sleep!

Nelson: Just to have the strength to do so at this stage of the match.

Hart: Alright it's impressive, but let's see him follow up!

[Both men lie on the mat for a moment to heal their wounds, as Victor tightly clutches his elbow. Eventually both men slowly start getting up.]

Tiger: This could be Jon's chance to get back in the game.

[Victor peppers Jon with stinging kicks to the right leg.]

Hart: Look at those kicks!

[Notorious JON furiously responds as he slaps his hand across the throat of Victor. Victor becomes petrified.]

Nelson: How about you look at this chokeslam-no!

[Notorious JON lifts Victor up for a chokeslam, but Victor pokes Jon in the eyes partway up. Victor runs against the ropes, on the rebound Jon slams Victor down for a powerslam.]

Nelson: Powerslam! Could this be it?

ONE

TWO

Hart: AH!

Nelson: No! Victor kicks out at two!

Tiger: Doesn't get closer than that!

[Fans clap in approval for Notorious JON.]

Tiger: Again big props to Victor Emmit for taking someone of Jon's stature to the very limit. And vice versa. Shows us that Victor Emmit is good enough to hang with the big boys, and Notorious JON isn't too out of touch to go at it with the young guns!

Nelson: No doubt about it Peter.

[Both men rise to their feet, Jon a little quicker than Victor. As Jon approaches, Victor gets up, and takes Jon down with a drop toe hold.]

Hart: Victor again!

[Victor jogs his feet on the mat as he hits the ropes. Jon climbs to his hands and knees as Victor approaches.]

Hart: He's gonna climb the Stairway to Heaven!

[Victor leaps off of the back of Jon to the top rope. He springboards off the rope back to Jon for his trademark legdrop, but Jon moves out of the way.]

Nelson: Jon moves!

Hart: No!

[Victor is stunned, as he agonizingly gets back to his feet. Jon then hoists Victor up over his shoulders, and quickly hits him with his finishing Go2Sleep.]

Nelson: That's a Wrap!

Hart: No no no no nooo!

Nelson: Could be over right here!

[Jon goes down for the pin.]

ONE

TWO

THREE

DING DING DING

["Search and Destroy" hits the PA system as fans go wild.]

Dixon: The winner of this match as a result of pinfall. Notoriouuuuus JON!

[Fans cheer as Jon gets up and limps around the ring with his arms raised.]

Nelson: Well it was a hard fought battle, and in spite of some shady business Victor proved to be a worthy adversary.

Hart: Hopefully he rebounds from this loss!

Tiger: A loss to Notorious JON isn't a step down by any means. Notorious JON has beaten some legendary names in this business.

Hart: Notorious JON can kill Victor's dreams all he wants, eventually karma will get him!

Nelson: Ugh. Well if Robbie Hart isn't cringeworthy enough, we have our main event coming up and the deck is stacked against Chazz Mendel in a handicap match against Devon Dice and Johnny Serious. We're gonna take our final commercial break, and then it's time for our main event of the evening. Stay tuned.

Nelson: Welcome back folks, we're moments away from our highly questionable, skewed main event. I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said, but Tony Awesome must have been taking career advice from Jeff Zucker, because I used to respect him, but lately I'm not so sure. It's gonna be Chazz Mendel taking on the team of Devon Dice and Johnny Serious in a handicap match.

Tiger: It's no picnic for the opposing team either. In fact this is gonna be difficult all around, a hard contest for Chazz Mendel, and it'll be hard for the opposition as well, taking on their own friend in a handicap match has to be a blow to the pride of all three of them.

Hart: Well suck it up princesses because if Tony Awesome gets the impression of any man taking it easy, then they'll be joining the unemployment line with Muru on a moment's notice!

DING DING DING

Mic Benson: The following contest is your MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING!!!

[The crowds starts to cheer as the introduction to "Tiger the Lion" by The Tragically Hip floats out the PA system. Gord Downie's voice croons over the music.]

"This is Tiger The Lion..."
"Give me the knuckles of Frisco..."
"If there's danger in the language, Gentlemen..."
"I suggest no further use of the two way radio..."

[The song kicks in and Chazz Mendel walks out onto the stage. Mendel makes his way down the aisle.]

Mic Benson: Introducing first! Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada! CHAZZ MENDEL!!!

[Chazz slides in under the bottom rope, then salutes the fans as he moves a neutral corner.]

Nelson: Chazz Mendel's in the ring, and he looks ready to go. You have to wonder what's going through his head though, having to wrestle his allies here tonight.

Tiger: With all three men being World Champions, everyone has to be wondering the same thing. Chazz Mendel, Devon Dice, and Johnny Serious are the best of the best here in the cWo. In my opinion, it's going to come down to one mistake. Whoever can capitalize on the mistake will come out the winner.

Hart: And let's not forget about what happens if there's any funny business!

Nelson: Yes, we know. Any one of the three men will be fired.

Hart: Hey! That could go for us too! We're in a recession, you know! That's how I like to justify Muru. A victim of the recession. Have fun being a statistic, pal! ha ha!

Nelson: Now that is just not funny, Robbie!

Hart: Isn't it?

Nelson: No!

Hart: Isn't it?

Nelson: Ugh...

[The lights go our as the Voice of Johnny Serious comes over the sound system and says "Are You SERIOUS." The crowd goes wild as an orange light turns on in the arena as the song "Elevation" by U2 plays.]

Benson: And his opponent! Introducing first from Hollywood, California! Weighing in at two hundred and fourty five pounds! JOHNNY SSSSSSSSSSERIOUUUSSSS!!!

[Johnny Serious makes his way out and down the aisle. He enters the ring, goes to a corner, climbs the turnbuckle and throws his arms in the air to the crowd with a playful cocky smile as the regular house lights come back on.]

Nelson: Here's one half of Chazz's opposition. Johnny Serious!

[Mendel and Serious both share a nod and a quick handshake before heading to separate corners.]

Tiger: Good sign of respect right there between competitors.

Hart: I don't even get how Chazz could respect Johnny Serious when Serious stole the win from him at Veneration!

Nelson: Robbie, need I remind you that it was a tag team match? The key word being TEAM. Chazz knows that there's no I in team.

Hart: Well Johnny Serious sure as heck knows that there's an M for ME in there! Glory hog!

[Clutch's "Electric Worry" plays over the PA system to a great ovation from the crowd.]

Benson: And finally.. Hailing from Atlantic City, New Jersey! He is the current cWo United States Champion AND 2009 Lord of Punishment! Deeevvvvooooooonnn DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

[Devon Dice emerges from the curtain with his arms raised, and the US title strapped around his waist. The crowd cheers as Dice walks to the ring.]

Nelson: On top of being a former world champion, Devon Dice is the current United States champion and the only two time winner of the Lord Of Punishment tournament. That has to stack the odds in favor of Serious and Dice in this match.

[Dice and Mendel exchange handshakes as well. Mendel takes a deep breath and starts bouncing on the balls of his feet in the corner as Dice takes off the US title belt and hands it to Mic Benson.]

Tiger: As if the numbers weren't enough, Joel. All of these accomplishments held by Devon Dice and Johnny Serious have to be playing a huge role in Chazz's gameplan. He's defied the odds before, though!

[Serious does a few final stretches as he and Dice discuss who'll start the match. The referee calls for the opening bell.]

DING DING DING

Nelson: And we're officially underway with the main event of the evening! Dice opted to step in and square off with Mendel first.

[Mendel and Dice circle the ring, sizing each other up. Neither man wanting to make the first move.]

Nelson: This has to be tough on all three men.

Tiger: Agreed. Under normal circumstances this would be easy for both sides. But when you're being forced to fight your friends, it's never easy.

Hart: Well then Chazz shouldn't have opened his big mouth! It's all his fault.

[Dice shoots in quickly, taking Chazz to the mat with a double leg takedown.]

Nelson: Quick double leg takedown by Devon Dice! He's going for the pin already?

ONE

[Chazz kicks out.]

Nelson: And Chazz Mendel kicks out at one.

Tiger: Dice wants to get out of this with doing as little damage as possible, it seems.

Hart: You'd think Chazz would want to do the same. He's stubborn as his old man!

[Chazz pops to his feet and pushes Dice, then begs Dice to fight him.]

Nelson: Chazz actually wants to fight Devon Dice?

Tiger: I think Chazz just doesn't want to get fired. After all, Tony Awesome is watching for any sort of shenanigans.

[Dice answers simply with a forearm shot to Chazz's head, backing him into the corner.]

Nelson: What a forearm shot by Devon Dice!

Hart: That's it! Tear each other apart!

[Dice is on Mendel quickly, grabbing his arm and sending him across the ring to the opposite corner with an Irish Whip.]

Tiger: Irish whip! Dice is following!

[Chazz slams back first into the ringpost as Devon Dice leaps into the air and crashes into Chazz with a flying splash.]

Nelson: Big time splash by Devon Dice! Chazz is reeling!

[Chazz steps out of the corner and is taken down by a suplex.]

ONE

TWO

[Chazz kicks out.]

Nelson: NO! Kickout at two!

{Dice throws up his hands in frustration before slapping on a headlock. He holds it in deep for a minute despite numerous attempts by Chazz to kick out. Finally after a minute and a half, Chazz gets to his feet, only to be taken back to the mat with a Bulldog. Dice rolls him over and stomps on Chazz a couple of times before making the tag to Johnny Serious.}

Nelson: ...And Dice with the tag to Johnny Serious!

[Serious grabs Chazz by the hair and brings him to his feet. Serious connects with an elbow to Chazz's face.]

Nelson: Hard elbow to the face of Chazz Mendel.

[Serious backs Chazz into the corner. After another elbow, Serious picks Mendel up and sits him on the top rope.]

Nelson: What the heck is Serious doing? He must be setting up for something big here.

[Serious steps up onto the second rope, then hooks Chazz's head.]

Nelson: Serious is bringing Chazz up to the top rope! This isn't going to be good!

[Just as Serious gets to the top rope, Chazz shoves him off, sending him to the mat back first.]

Nelson: And at the last second Chazz Mendel shoves Johnny Serious off the top turnbuckle saving himself from being taken for a ride!

[Serious bounces off the mat, and is up to his feet quickly.]

Tiger: The top rope is Chazz Mendel's domain, Joel. Any cWo superstar would be crazy to try and bring the fight up there!

[Chazz leaps into the air as Serious starts to come back in and connects with a missile dropkick.]

Nelson: Big missile dropkick from Chazz Mendel! Now the lateral press!

ONE

TWO

[Serious kicks out!]

Nelson: And Johnny Serious kicks out at two!

Tiger: These three might not like this situation, but it isn't stopping them from putting on a show!

{Chazz immediately jumps on Serious and drives a few left hands to his head. Serious fights him off, but is taken back down the the mat with a DDT after getting to a vertical base. Chazz works Serious' arms and back with a surfboard stretch for about two minutes before Devon Dice and the fans start to help.}

Nelson: Would you listen to these fans! Devon Dice has them all rooting for Johnny Serious in unison!

Hart: He's gonna wear that turnbuckle pad out! He's costing Tony Awesome money! Fire him!

[Serious starts to acknowledge the crowd by banging his feet on the mat. Serious starts to rock back and forth trying to escape.]

Nelson: Serious is feeding off of this capacity crowd! Devon Dice is reaching his hand out for a tag with one hand and beating the top turnbuckle with the other! He wants in there bad!

[Serious finally powers his way out of the Surfboard.]

Nelson: And Serious escapes! But Chazz is on the move!

[Chazz immediately takes off to the ropes. He rebounds, jumps into the air for a cross body block, but Serious catches him!]

Nelson: Serious with a display of strength just caught Chazz Mendel right out of the air! Chazz is going to be sent for a ride!

[Serious hops his hips and throws Chazz over his head, sending Mendel to the mat hard, rolling to the ropes.]

Nelson: The SERIOUS Slam!

Tiger: This is just the break that Johnny Serious needed to tag in Devon Dice! Serious is making his way over! He makes the tag!

[Devon Dice jumps over the top rope and rushes over to Chazz Mendel, who's using the ropes to get to his feet. Dice immediately pulls him to his feet and lands a knife edged chop across Chazz's chest.]

Nelson: BIG knife edged chop!

[Chazz attempts to stumble away, but Dice puts him right back onto the ropes and chops him again.]

Nelson: And another!

Hart: One more time!

[Dice grabs Chazz again and lands a third knife edged chop that brings Chazz to his knees.]

Hart: Thank you!

[Dice looks at the welts he left on Chazz's chest and cringes. He looks at the crowd a moment and says "Oww!"]

Nelson: Oww indeed! Chazz's chest is bright red after those vicious chops!

Tiger: Well you saw at the beginning of the match Chazz wanting the US champion to bring it! So he's bringing it to him now!

[Dice brings Chazz to his feet and sends him across the ring with an Irish whip.]

Nelson: Big Irish whip!

[Dice attempts a clothesline, but Chazz ducks it and keeps running. Dice spins around as Chazz rebounds off the ropes with a clothesline of his own, but Dice ducks it!]

Nelson: Dice ducked the clothesline!

[Dice picks up Chazz and slams him to the mat with the Hard Eight!]

Nelson: Hard Eight with authority!!! The pin!

DING DING DING!

["Electric Worry" starts playing over the PA system as Dice is joined by Serious in the ring.]

Benson: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winners, Devon Dice and Johnny SERIOUS!

[The referee raises both men's hands in the air but both men break off from the ref to tend to Chazz, who's shaking the off the effects of the Hard Eight.]

Nelson: There you have it, folks! Johnny Serious and Devon Dice are victorious over Chazz Mendel in this handicapped match. And both Serious and Dice showing great sportsmanship, helping their friend back to his feet.

Hart: Well it's the least they could do after they beat the crap out of him!

[Serious, Dice, and Mendel celebrate the match with the fans. Mendel and Serious hit the turnbuckles while Dice poses in the center of the ring. Suddenly Johnny Vandal appears from the crowd with a steel chair in hand.]

Tiger: Look out! Vandal's hit the ring, and he's got a chair!

[Vandal slides into the ring and quickly slams the chair onto Dice's back.]

Nelson: Oh my god! Vandal dented the chair over the back of Devon Dice! He's down!

[Mendel and Serious turn to look as soon as they hear the sound of the chairshot and immediately high tail it after Vandal, who narrowly escapes, sliding under the bottom rope.]

Nelson: What a coward! A heinous hit and run by Johnny Vandal!

[Mendel begs Vandal to come back to the ring as Serious tends to Devon Dice. Chazz checks back on the two of them, but keeps an eye on the retreating Johnny Vandal.]

Tiger: Hit and run is right! He wants no part of any of the three men in the ring right now! He's already on the stage!

Nelson: We're out of time!
