[Suddenly, the cWo logo flashes briefly into focus, coming together from all sides of the screen. A highlight reel of clips from last week’s Driven begins to air: Ronald Crewe is seen stomping all over Octavius Winslow; Austin Edwards and Lizzette Morgan are seen squashing Sanctioned Television, with Edwards handling most of the work; Muru is seen taking Heretic’s spot in the OMEGA match against Nerds with Attitude, with Notorious JON mailing it in; Andrew Mendel is seen standing up to Chazz Mendel, and then Reg Mendel crashing his own memorial service and disposing of the Kaiser; and finally, Johnny Serious and Chazz Mendel are seen invoking both of their World Title clauses and then stepping into the ring against Nick Dangerous, with a final shot of Chazz Mendel holding the World Title above his head as the screen goes blank and a familiar voice is heard]

Wilden: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Iowa City, IOWA!

[Sevendusts “Driven” tears throughout the arena, as the fans erupt into a chorus of cheers. As the camera pans the screaming crowd, loyal cWo fans raise their arms in the air, pointing to their cWo t-shirts and screaming incoherently. After a few moments, the camera focuses on the announcer’s booth, where Lance and Robbie are seen ready to call the action for the evening]

Wilden: Good evening, folks – we’ve got a hell of a show lined up for you tonight, but in all honesty, I have no idea how we could top last week’s Driven!

Hart: Some would call it a travesty – and if Nick Dangerous lost that World Title to anyone but Chazz Mendel, it would be!

Wilden: Well Robbie, it was finally time for Nick Dangerous to fall – and fall he did! Like a lead weight as Chazz Mendel picked up the victory legitimately!

Hart: Of course it was legitimate – any victory is legitimate for him!

Wilden: We also saw the return of not just one Mendel – but both Andrew and Reg Mendel at that!

Hart: The return of Reg Mendel is the greatest event in American history!

Wilden: But what about Andrew Mendel? What do you think?

Hart: A greater travesty humanity has never known!

Wilden: We finally saw the youngest Mendel brother as well – who is nothing more than a mediator between the two warring factions!

Hart: He was a Cain to Chazz’s Abel!

Wilden: Robbie, what?

Hart: Caesar and Brutus!

Wilden: Well, Robbie, you’ll be able to throw some of those barbs at Andrew tonight – because his return match is our main event of the evening!

Hart: How could they do that to all of us fine people who actually paid to be here tonight?

Wilden: Robbie – you’re getting paid to be here! But nevertheless, folks Andrew’s opponent tonight will be Johnny Serious – probably the biggest loser of them all after last week’s main event, and stretching as far back as Dangerous Engagement!

Hart: What are you talking about? How could you say that when Nick Dangerous was the one that lost the World Title?

Wilden: Let’s take a look – Dangerous Engagement saw Johnny Serious WIN the World Title, only to be screwed out of it by Jack Union and John Pilchard, who handed the World Title back to Dangerous on a silver platter; he invokes his rematch clause, and is promptly screwed again!

Hart: Oh, come off it!

Wilden: But also folks, we saw Muru glumly accept his punishment to OMEGA – where he was featured in a match where he did most of the legwork!

Hart: Like he should! You know, Lance, I hate to say it, but Notorious JON isn’t getting any younger – Muru’s spruce and ready for the challenge! He’ll step up to the firing line!

Wilden: Only because he’s afraid of what would happen if he didn’t, Robbie!

Hart: Lies!

Wilden: Anyway folks, let’s head on down to the ring right now where Donna Dixon is getting ready to start –

["Fanfare for the Common Man" hits the P.A. system, as the fans preemptively boo the entrance of Nick Dangerous.]

Wilden: Well here we go.

Hart: Nick isn't scheduled for a match tonight is he?

Wilden: No...no he isn't.

Hart: Good, it's would be criminal to book Nick in anything that isn't a title match in his emotional state.

Wilden: Not while Johnny Serious is still breathing Robbie.

Hart: What's that supposed to mean?

[As Robbie and Lance speak, cameras catch a scorned Nick Dangerous coming out, alongside John Pilchard and Jack Union.]

Wilden: Look at the look on his face.

Hart: I see it, Lance.

Wilden: I've seen Nick Dangerous all kinds of upset, but never THAT upset.

Hart: You're just loving this aren't you?

Wilden: Of course! He deserves every ounce of this!

Hart: Well you know what? Johnny Serious isn't champion either!

Wilden: Yeah but with Johnny Serious I at least expect him to put forth the effort to get himself a fair shot.

Hart: And Nick won't?

Wilden: I said a FAIR shot.

Hart: Nuts to you.

[Jack Union sits on the second rope to allow Nick an easier entry, and follows Nick inside the ring as Nick requests a mic.]

Wilden: I knew I should've brought ear plugs.

Hart: Just stop complaining man! He just got out here!

[Nick is handed a mic, as he looks at the Iowa crowd with a look of disdain, as his theme music fades, Nick raises his right nostril as his scowls back at a crowd chanting "Se-ri-ous," as the chant even brings John Pilchard and Jack Union's blood to a boil, Nick raises the mic to his mouth.]

Nick Dangerous: [deep breath].....

[Nick lowers the mic as he looks on in frustration to the fans, who continue to chant Johnny Serious' name. Nick raises the mic to his mouth again, as the fans don't relent on the "Serious" chant.]

Wilden: Do you think he's gonna take the hint?

Hart: What hint?

[Suddenly a frustrated John Pilchard takes the mic from Nick and shouts a high pitched tone as he speaks.]

John Pilchard: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! You're not getting Johnny Serious! This isn't Johnny Serious' time! Serious is a loser! Serious has nothing to say! No reason to be out here! This is Nick Dangerous' time, now be quiet so he can speak!

[Nick just stands firm with the same disgruntled look on his face, as Pilchard adjusts the collar of his suit back in place after getting riled up, as Nick raises the mic to his mouth again, with fans still chanting "Serious."]

Nick Dangerous: ....If any of you had a clue, you'd know how stupid you look when you bare witness to Nick Dangerous and you insist on Johnny Serious. When people go to a restaraunt that offers prime rib, they don't ask for sloppy joes. If people had a choice they wouldn't fly coach if they could afford to fly first class. If it were up to you people, you would rather travel by a limo than get around by bus. And yet when Nick Dangerous stands before you inside a wrestling ring, you ask for Johnny Serious.

[A smattering of boos are heard among the arena as the "Serious" chants begin to take less a persence over the disdain for Nick Dangerous as he continues.]

Nick Dangerous: You see it's people like you who make me wonder my place in this business, it's people like Lance Wilden who make me wonder if it's truly worth it, Tiffany Tolberg, who seems to get paid a little bit too much for constantly badgering me for "my thoughts" on losing a match I never should have taken part in, and wondering why instead of a heart to heart with a former world champion she ends up with a face full of the palm of my hand shoving her out of something that has nothing to do with her!

[Fans continue to boo as Nick has more to say.]

Nick Dangerous: You know last week two things happened, I lost my World Championship, and Chazz Mendel won it, and yet the only thing I've been hearing all week is "what're you gonna do about Johnny Serious," and it makes me SICK to my stomach, what should I have to worry about Johnny Serious for? He doesn't have gold around his waist, he's yesterday’s news, if he's smart he'll avoid playing the teacher's pet card this time around and stay out of my business! But in case he's not using his head anymore, I've enlisted the services of Jack Union!

[The fans simmer down for the time being as Nick continues, while John Pilchard applauds.]

Nick Dangerous: You see Jack Union is a man that I know that I can trust, and he knows exactly how it feels to be under appreciated, he's changed his whole world around to be successful in the cWo, he's fired his agents, he's retired from the silver screen, he doesn't have time for friends and family, much like myself, his world is professional wrestling, and you people couldn't care less, because he's not your monkey anymore! Well he and I we have that in common, and but most importantly, we both HATE Johnny Serious. But we're not the only ones who do.

Hart: Yeah, I hate Johnny Serious too!

Nick Dangerous: There's one man who has been waiting for someone like Jack Union and I to finally call Johnny Serious out for what he really is, and now that we're out here, I made it a point to seek him out, and help him get back on his feet, and the first step is getting rid of Johnny Serious for good, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Rich!

[Pink Floyd's "Money" hits the arena as Mr. Rich makes his way out towards the ring, wearing a nice dark suit. He stops in the aisle, waving his money around as a dollar sign lights up. He continues to the ring, flashing his money in the fans face and then taking it away. He slowly enters the ring and stands in the center as canons from all four ring posts shoot out fake money with Mr. Rich's face on it.

Wilden: What? What the hell is he doing out here?

Hart: Makes sense, it was SERIOUS who turned on Mr. Rich and stole his wife! Of course he is going to side with Nick on this.

Wilden: Robbie, in case you don't remember, your NICK DANGEROUS used to take part in attacks on Mr. Rich!

Hart: I don't remember.

[Mr. Rich grabs the mic]

Wilden: My question is, how did he pay for that suit? Last I checked, he lost half his fortune to Andrew Fiasco at Will of a Warrior and the other half to his wife Evette!

Mr. Rich: Thank you Mr. Nick Dangerous! You're right when you say that there is one man who truly hates Johnny Serious. That man is ME! I gave that little punk everything I could and how does he repay me! By stealing my money and stealing my wife.

Wilden: Serious and Evette are just business partners.

Hart: Come on, SERIOUS is a man, there is no way he is not doing something with EVETTE!

Mr. Rich: Now I despise that low class piece of trash. Not once has he thanked me. Instead, he sends me to the dogs the moment his free ride ends. Where was he when I lost my money. He was screwing my wife!!!!!!!! Luckily, my good friend, NICK DANGEROUS, lended a goodwill gesture and helped me out when I was in need!

Hart: That sounds like Nick Dangerous!

Wilden: Yeah, right!

Mr. Rich: Nick Dangerous found me. He found me renting a one room apartment at the Budget Suites in Las Vegas! He offered to help me. John Pilchard gave me good advice and good lawyers and I was able to get some of my money back from my wife. They helped me get in touch with a new trainer which is why I am back in the best shape I have been in 10-15 years. And now that I am back to being what I am supposed to be, that is privileged, now it's time to make Johnny Serious and my slut of a wife learn what I had to go through. That bitch is going to learn that I am the only man in her life. I took her from working class to upper class. I made her wrestling royalty and what does she do, she sells me out and steals my cash flow. No marriage counselor is going to be able to mend our problems!

[Mr. Rich rubs his hands through his hair, making it a visible mess, looking like a man possessed]

Mr. Rich: I WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Rich tosses the mic back to Nick and just stares into the camera]

Wilden: Mr. Rich has returned tonight and apparently, he is not a forgiving man.

[Nick takes the mic back from Serious.]

Nick Dangerous: So what am I gonna do about Johnny Serious? Nothing, absolutely nothing, because Jack Union and Mr. Rich here are gonna do something about Johnny Serious for me, while I once again become the World Champion, because I'm going to Cyberslam! With Mr. Rich and Union by my side there's nothing Serious can do about it! And if Cyberslam comes around and my name isn't on the marquee, Andrew Fiasco might as well book another show here in Iowa, because the people here are the only ones stupid enough to buy a ticket!

["Fanfare for the Common Man" hits the PA system, as John Pilchard applauds Nick Dangerous, Union, and Rich as the three raise each other's arms.]

Hart: I love it, Nick Dangerous is finally gonna do something about the Johnny Serious epidemic.

Wilden: I think the three of them are losing their mind.

[Suddenly we cut to the backstage, cameras catch Serious and Evette talking backstage with a TV in front of them, as Tiffany Tolberg comes up to them with a mic in hand.]

Tiffany Tolberg: Johnny Serious! Evette, mind if I can get a few questions answered?

Johnny Serious: Actually Tiffany, this is a serious situation, and I would prefer it if you left us alone to talk for now.

Tiffany Tolberg: Alright, of course, sorry to bother you.

[Tiffany walks away as the camera is set down, inadvertantly eavesdropping on Evette and Serious' conversation.]

Johnny Serious: Evette this is the last time I'm gonna ask you, here's my hotel key, get out of here, let me deal with Nick Dangerous and his goon squad.

Evette: Those guys have the wrong idea about us, I'm not afraid of Rich.

Johnny Serious: Neither am I, but I'm afraid that he's gonna hurt you worse than he already has before I put him in his place.

Evette: Don't worry about me.

Johnny Serious: You're one of the few friends I have in this business Evette, so I am worried, just go to the hotel, and let me take care of these guys, I don't want you to be at ringside when they show up.

Evette: [sigh] if it means that much to you.

[Evette takes the key as she leaves Serious with a hug, as we fade to commercials.]

[Ronald 'Wrecking' Crewe walks into the building, dressed in street clothes and carrying his duffel bag. Suddenly, a whoosing is heard and an arrow sticks into the wall a few feet away from his head. Crewe jumps to the side, startled. He looks back at the arrow.]

Crewe: What the [bleep]? Who the [bleep] just shot a mother[bleep] arrow at me? I'll [bleepin] break your [ass] little [bleep]!

[Crewe notices a folded piece of paper attached to the arrow. He walks over to the arrow, pulls of the paper and examines it. It's sealed with a wax seal. Crewe breaks the seal to reveal the message, which is unseen. He crumples the paper and throws it down, then angerly storms off. ]

Commercial Break

[Devon Dice steps out of the lockerroom. The door closes behind him and suddenly, Thaddeus Walker pops out of an adjacent door]

Thaddeus: Message for you, Robit!

[Thaddeus pulls out a bow and arrow and pulls it back.]

Devon Dice: JESUS CHRIST!

[Dice dives out of the way. Thaddeus fires the arrow, which sticks into the locker room door, then runs off. Dice gets back to his feet, breathing heavily. He pulls the folded piece of paper off of the arrow and breaks the wax seal as the camera fades to ringside]

Wilden: What the hell is going on backstage?

Hart: Well, it seems that since Reg Mendel is alive – Thaddeus is back to his old form!

Wilden: But shooting arrows at people? That’s dangerous! He’s treading a thin line back there!

Hart: Come on. Lance! This is casual to him right now! The man cheated death week in and week out in the Race Around the World! This is child’s play for him!

Wilden: Ugh – folks, we’re ready to head down to the ring right now, where our first match of the evening is about to take place – let’s head on down to Donna Dixon, who’s ready to take us away!

[The familiar dimming of arena lights and spotlight crew come out. The Chipmunk Version of 'Almost Paradise' begins to play among the walls as there is a small rumble of laughter scattered throughout the building. Charley Bavadra comes out first with Dorian Crittle holding his ears from the mockery. They walk hurriedly to the ring, their facial expressions bordering on tears.]

Donna Dixon: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall. Introducing the first team, Charley Bavadra and Dorian Crittle, they are SANCTIONED TELEVISION!

[The music stops as Dorian and Charley sand in the ring waiting for the NWA.]

[Metallica’s Imperial March begins to play as the Nerds with Attitude make their way to the ring.]

Wilden: The last time the Nerds took on STV, they spoiled STV’s cWo debut.

Hart: STV is on a losing streak, I think tonight they are going to turn things around.

[DING DING DING]

Wilden: Alright, Bavadra and Long will be starting this thing off.

[Bavadra and Long lock up and Bavadra transfers into a headlock, wrenching down on the neck.]

Wilden: Charlie Bavadra really pulling on the neck of the smaller Ethan LongHart: He can probably rip his head off right now.

[Bavadra spins around and gets a body lock from behind.]

Wilden: Bavadra has Long from behind, the Dungeon Master trying to connect with elbows to break the lock, but is unsuccessful.

Hart: He can’t see him.

[Bavadra lifts up Long and lands a German suplex and bridges into a pin.]

Wilden: The cover.

One…

Two…

Thr..

Wilden: NO! Long kicks out and Bavadra now arguing with referee Aaron Blake.

Hart: I thought it was three.

[Bavadra grabs Long’s head and brings him to his feet. He whips him across the ring, Bavadra bends forward for a back body drop, Long kicks him in the face.]

Wilden: Long with a kick to the face, off the ropes again. SPINEBUSTER!

Hart: Dead nerd in the ring.

Wilden: The momentum was shifting for the NWA, but not anymore.

[Bavadra drags Long into STV’s corner and tags in Dorian Crittle. They begin to double team Long in the corner until the referee breaks it up.]

Hart: Now that is good teamwork, I can’t believe these guys are on a losing streak.

Wilden: I think Crittle’s cast should’ve been checked. It appears that cast may be able to inflict more damage.

Hart: Don’t be silly, Lance.

[Crittle climbs the second rope and begins to punch the head of Ethan Long repeatedly.]

Wilden: Crittle with fists to the head of Long.

Hart: Four, Five, Six, Seven…

Wilden: I’m glad you can count, Robbie.

Hart: Don’t insult me.

[Long grabs the legs of Crittle and struggles to hold him up and falls forward into a powerbomb. Both men are out.]

Wilden: Wow, a rare powerbomb by the Dungeon Master. He used just about all the energy he had left.

Hart: Dorian Crittle was nerdified.

[Referee Aaron Blake begins to count both men. Long and Crittle both begin moving.]

Wilden: Drake Browne is reaching for the tag.

Hart: LONG NEEDS TO USE THE FORCE!

[Crittle gets on one knee as Long makes the tag.]

Wilden: LONG MAKES THE TAG! Drake Browne on the top rope. Dorian Crittle is to his feet. OH MY FLYING DROPKICK!

Hart: HE’S USING THE FORCE.

[Crittle bounces to his feet, Browne charges and hits a hurricarana and grabs a leg for the pin.]

Wilden: The cover

One..

Tw..

Wilden: Browne breaks the count as Bavadra tries to enter the ring.

[Browne charges Bavadra and dropkicks him to the outside before he can get in the ring. Crittle gets to his feet.]

Hart: He’s like Yoda.

Wilden: Crittle on his feet, watch out!

[Dorian Crittle charges Drake Browne and whacks him with his cast, knocking him out cold.]

Wilden: I knew that cast was loaded, Browne is out cold. The cover.

One…

Two…

Three…

[DING DING DING]

Dixon: And here are your winners, Sanctioned Television!

Wilden: And STV steals one from NWA.

Hart: Hey, an eye for an eye, right?

Wilden: That cast should’ve been checked before the match

Hart: It’s not cheating if you don’t get caught.

Wilden: Folks, we’ll be right back after this – hang on a second, what’s this? This can’t be what I think it is!

["Superstar" by Saliva hits the PA and the crowd comes to its feet]

Wilden: What's this? This can't be what I think it is!

Hart: I hope it’s not what you think it is!! Please God NOO!

["HotShot" Chris Michaels comes walking through the curtain dressed in jeans, a t-shirt and a navy pinstripe coat and Virginia Tech hat with a huge grin on his face.]

Hart: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wilden: It is, he's back! But why?

[Michaels slaps everyone’s hands as he walks down the aisle. He makes his way up the steps and through the ropes and mounts the second turnbuckle, giving his trademark one fist salute to the fans. He takes the mic from Donna Dixon and smiles as the crowd starts roaring louder and louder. Michaels tries to hush the crowd.]

Michaels: Well, I guess I got my answer....ya missed me!!

[Crowd pops]

Michaels: As you can see, there's no Biff, there's no Griff, and other than this coat, everything from my "campaign" is gone. And I realize now that it was kind of a...no, it was a real knucklehead idea. I mean, who in the world would want ME as President?

[Crowd pops and chants of "HotShot" start to fill the arena]

Michaels: Well, as much as I hate to say it...I blew most of my money on that hair-brained scheme....all of my contacts are now gone and I never got that call from McCain to be his Vice President...[Michaels chuckles at this] So, I figured, there was only one thing left for me to do...and that was to come back home. So, I might be down on my luck...but at least I'm down on my luck at home. So, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know who I'm going to do it with, but by God cWo, the "HotShot" is BACK!

["The Maple Leaf Rag" begins to play and the crowd reaction is mixed as Thaddeus Walker steps out from behind the entrance curtain. He's dressed in an old timey suit and top hat, and carrying the US title on his shoulder. He walks to the ring, then takes the microphone from a confused Chris Michaels.]

Thaddeus; Let me express my deepest remorse for your plight, Sir. I too know what it is like to have a dream denied. From what I can tell, you're a swell gent, and an upstanding Joe. I like the cut of your jib, sport! It also dawns on me that the precious metal that comprises the championship of these United States was previously in your hands, correct?

[Michaels nods.]

Thaddeus: I thought so. Just one of the many vanquished by Thaddeus Walker! But sport, I'm not out here to rattle your cage. I'm not here to cause hoopla and start some big broohaha. I'm a sucker for a hard luck case, see, as I've been in hard times before. But it was through the well intentions of a most generous chap that I'm here today. Well, I fancy myself a philanthropist, and I'd like to make you an offer.

Michaels: Allright. What is it?

Thaddeus; Oh, not here, my good man. Join me in my parlor.

["The Maple Leaf Rag" plays as Thaddeus reaches into his jacket, pulls out the folded and sealed paper, and hands it to Michaels. Michaels looks at it, confused, and Thaddeus leaves the ring and heads down the ramp.]

Wilden: What's going on here? What offer does Thaddeus have for Chris Michaels?

Hart: There's a much more important question, Lance. When did Thaddeus get a parlor?

Wilden: We’ll be right back after this!

Commercial Break

[Muru is seen walking around backstage in a hurry, the overly small Omega shirt is in worse shape than last week. He is obviously looking for someone or something and is having no luck. He comes to the Omega dressing room and opens the door]

Muru: Jon? Are you in here? I am done with this list of "important" tasks that you needed done. Great the guy has control over me and then he can't even meet me when he is supposed to. This is some bullcrap...

Heretic: I wouldn't let Jon hear you say that if I were you.

[Heretic makes his way around a row of lockers and startles Muru]

Muru: [sarcastically] Yeah, I wouldn't want to upset the master.

Heretic: Sometimes Jon lives in his own world, sometimes he lives in ours. Sometimes power's all an illusion.

Muru: He has power over me, and that's all I care about.

Heretic: Well maybe you should care a little more. There's so much at stake for you. You've got an opportunity that most people would kill for. Everything you want is within your reach. You can have it all.

Muru: I don't need to do things Omega's way to get ahead. I am capable of getting by on my own merit. I am being the best sport I can about this, but I am not going to just lie down and accept things.

Heretic: If the way you were doing things was the right way, then why are you in this situation?

Muru: Don't worry about me.

Heretic: Who's worried? It's just some food for thought.

[As Heretic exits the locker room Muru takes a seat on the bench. Shortly after his cell phone rings]

Muru: No need to yell...I am in the locker room looking for you...Whatever...I am on my way.

[Muru gets up and storms off of the locker room on his way to meet Jon as the camera fades to ringside]

Wilden: Folks – it seems that Muru is completing the same meaningless tasks that he was last week for Notorious JON and the rest of OMEGA!

Hart: I wouldn’t say that in front of Notorious JON if I were you!

Wilden: What’s he going to do, Robbie? Come on!

Hart: He has power over you!

Wilden:…but power is only an illusion, remember?

Hart: See! You’re learning! Get this man an OMEGA t-shirt!

Wilden: Well our next scheduled match happens to be Victor Emmit against Lizette Morgan, should be a good one since this is gonna be the first time we've seen Victor and Tito since winning the cWo Tag Team Titles. Tiffany Tolberg caught up with the two of them earlier today and they had this to say.

[We then see a clip of the middle of an interview with Turley as Emmit begins to speak.]

Victor Emmit: Tito and I are thrilled to have become the World Tag Team Champions, it's amazing what difference a month makes, a month ago I never would've thought I'd be celebrating a Title win with my best friend in the whole world by my side, but here we are, and here are our tag team titles. And tonight's match will be just the beginning.

Tiffany Tolberg: Well tonight you have to wrestle Lizzette Morgan, who you had trouble facing two weeks ago at Dangerous Engagement.

Victor Emmit: Well, we ain't the type to hit a lady and tonight is no exception, but I'm just gonna have to hope that the fans can get behind me and that I can pull it out somehow.

Tiffany Tolberg: So if she wins, could they be the next contenders?

Tito: Well ya know Victor and I gon' take these Titles all over the world, we'll take on all comers, Fiasco can put anyone in front of us and we'll take 'em down baby! We're gonna just keep goin', goin' and goin'!

Victor Emmit: Oh you know it, and we won't stop until we've had enough!

[The clip ends as "Take Me On" by Reel Big Fish hits the PA system. We begin to hear the countdown right before the song kicks in as a pyrotechnic shoots from the screen. Austin Edwards and Lizzette Morgan walk out on to the stage and look down the ramp. They turn to each other and then back to the ring before running down the ramp and sliding under the ropes. As they get to their feet both Crittle and Bavadra get out of the ring and look in at them.]

Donna Dixon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, first, hailing from New York City, New York, being accompanied to the ring by Austin Edwards, LIZZETTE MORGAN!

Wilden: Well my interest in this match is definitely up there, how is Victor Emmit gonna win this match without harming Lizette Morgan?

RH: He's not. You see someone needs to come around and teach Victor and Tito that sometimes it's okay to slap a lady around.

Wilden: Robbie!

RH: What? She's a professional wrestler Lance, I think it would be disrespectful NOT to go down without a fight against her!

["Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson hits the PA system. The arena is highlighted with psychedelic lights that shift back and forth to the beat. The intro comes to a close, when we see Victor coming out wearing a Stevie Ray Vaughan-esque hat and jacket. He comes out with Tito as they both stop at the stage to hold up both their arms slightly above shoulder level and rock the horns Ronnie James Dio style, before making their way to the ring.]

Dixon: And her opponent, hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia and being accompanied to the ring by Tito, he is Victoooooor Eeeeemmmmmiiiiit!

[The fans cheer as Tito and Victor slap the hands of fans on their way into the ring.]

RH: This is a dream match for me Lance, feminist vs hippie.

Wilden: Oh stop it.

RH: I hope it's a bloodbath!

Wilden: You know what this match could have huge implications on the next tag team title match, if Lizette can beat Victor tonight I think Morganedwards Inc.'s stock as tag team title contenders could definetely rise.

DING DING DING

[Victor places his hand in the center of the ring for a handshake, as Lizette draws near.]

Wilden: Respectful gesture by Victor.

[Lizette responds by kicking Victor in the gut and getting to work.]

RH: Denied!

[Victor's sent stumbling into the turnbuckle as Lizette lays waste to Victor with repeated kicks to the gut.]

Wilden: Lizette going wild, wouldn't be surprised if her and Austin are hoping Fiasco's keeping a close eye on this match, as the referee tries to subdue Lizette Morgan.

[Lizette shoves the referee out of the way as she continues to stomp at Victor Emmit.]

Wilden: She better watch it!

[The referee begins a count to five as Lizette takes a break, to snap mare Emmit to the mat into a seated position, where she then hits a kick to the spine.]

Wilden: Spinal tap by Lizette.

RH: Could hear the snap of Victor's back from the nosebleeds!

Wilden: And then some.

[Lizette then snaps another kick to Victor's back.]

Wilden: Ooooh that's gotta sting.

RH: Duh.

[Lizette then runs against the ropes and comes back, hitting Victor in the chin with a basement dropkick.]

RH: Ooohh! Victor's getting beat up by a girl! Haha!

Wilden: Lizette is no average girl.

RH: By most standards I guess.

[Lizette goes for a pin.]

Wilden: Is this it?

ONE

TWO

Wilden: Kickout!

[Looking a little woozy, Emmit sits up, while Tito slaps the mat in support of his fellow tag team champion, as Lizette picks Emmit up to his feet.]

Wilden: Tito showing his support, as Lizette handles the pace of the match.

[Lizette irish whips Victor, and Victor goes against the ropes, while Lizette bends over for a back body drop.]

Wilden: Lizette with a back body drop...not quite there! As Emmit rolls over for a sunset flip!

ONE

Wilden: Kickout! It looks like Victor found an acceptable means of offense against Lizette.

RH: I don't think he'll ever forgive himself.

[Lizette quickly gets to her feet and soccer kicks Emmit in the chest. Victor clutches his chest with all his strength as he looks winded by the attack, as Lizette picks Victor back up to his feet.]

Wilden: Lizette is one mean woman in the ring.

RH: I'll give her that. I definetely like her a lot more when she's showing this hippy what's what!

[Lizette delivers a forearm that sends Victor stumbling backwards into the turnbuckle. Lizette braces herself, and charges Victor with a jumping forearm.]

Wilden: Ooohhh, another painful strike!

RH: I love it!

[Lizette then climbs to the top rope, as Victor stumbles forwards, only to slowly turn around to Lizette.]

Wilden: Lizette with a cross body! Wait!

[Victor uses the momentum to roll backwards over top of Lizette to counter the cross body with a surprise pin.]

ONE

TWO

THREE

Wilden: Out of nowhere! Victor Emmit managed to beat Lizette Morgan without even hitting her!

RH: What a hippy! Peace and love isn't gonna get those guys far in the big leagues!

["Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough" hits the PA system as Victor Emmit is victorious.]

Wilden: They're tag team champions Robbie!

RH: For now! But not for long, let me tell you, NWA will do something to stop them!

Wilden: Only time will tell, but right now Tito and Victor are reigning supreme and I for one am enjoying it.

RH: Well you're the only one!

[Tito puts his arm around Victor as the two slap hands on the outside of the ring, as Tito holds both titles to Victor's chest.]

Donna Dixon: The winner of the match by pinfall, Victooooooor Emmiiiiiiit!

[Soon fafter the announcement is made, Austin Edwards takes the mic from Donna Dixon.].

Hart: Austin Edwards doesn't look too happy about this.

[Austin walks up the steps and gets into the ring as Victor and Tito make their way up the ramp. Austin marches towards Lizzette who backs up into the corner with a feared look on her face. He leans towards her with the microphone raised to his mouth.]

Edwards: Cut the music NOW!

[The music stops playing as the lights return to normal. Austin then speaks once more.]

Edwards: What the HELL is wrong with you? You can't even win a match on your own? Do I have to take care of EVERYTHING for you? He didn't even hit you damn it! I AM NOT going to let you screw up AGAIN! As of right now this little team is OVER!

[Austin slams the microphone down before lifting Lizzette out of the corner and up on to her feet. Austin sends her into the ropes and as she comes back he takes her out with a devastating clothesline. As Lizzette slams to the mat Austin stands over her after picking up the microphone once more and speaks.]

Edwards: As of right now I am putting you all on NOTICE! I will NOT be taken lightly. I am Austin Edwards and I am your worst NIGHTMARE!

[Austin then drops the microphone once again as "Davids Disarm Their Goliaths" begins to play once more.]

Wilden: That was harsh. Austin just dropped Lizzette LITERALLY!

Hart: Well, I think he is better off without her.

[Austin walks out of the ring leaving Lizzette out cold in the ring. We then cut to a commercial break.]

[Heretic and Notorious JON stand in front of the monitor. Notorious JON holds a remote control, and is controlling the monitor's playback.]

Notorious JON: See, right there! I'm telling you, he's a natural.

Heretic: Nah.

Notorious JON: Are you crazy? He's a PERFECT fit!

Heretic: I don't like his attitude.

Notorious JON: Once we break him in, it'll be fine.

Heretic: I think you're looking past what we've already got.

Notorious JON: All we've got is you and me.

Heretic: ..And?

Notorious JON: Jen's a manager now.

Heretic: Muru.

Notorious JON: What about him?

Heretic: Untapped potential. He can be an asset. He just needs the proper motivation.

Notorious JON: What do you think I'm doing?

Heretic: Not like that. He needs something at stake. I'll take care of it.

Notorious JON: Do whatever you want. But we're talking new talent here.

[He presses a button on the remote]

Notorious JON: Ah, here we go! What do you think?

Heretic: Hmm. Interesting. Make an offer?r

Notorious JON: Couldn't hurt. Let's pay him a visit.

Commercial Break

[Chris Michaels, Ronald "Wrecking" Crewe and Devon Dice all sit in big leather chairs in what looks like a hunting lodge. Animal heads hang on the wall.]

Michaels: What the hell am I doing here?

Crewe: This mother[bleep] shot at me with a [bleep]in' arrow. I'm here to whoop his ass.

Dice: You and me both!

[The parlor door opens and Thaddeus Walker enters, dressed in safari gear.]

Thaddeus: Ah, gentlemen!

Dice: What the hell is this about, Walker?

Thaddeus: Quit your yappin' and I'll tell you, Robit!

Dice: I'm not a robot anymore!

Thaddeus: Gentlemen, you're all here for a very important reason. You're all gentlemen whom, in the past, I have vanquished in combat!

Crewe: What? I never even met you ‘till tonight! Who the [bleep] are you?

Thaddeus: [chuckles] What a simple minded people! You and I, noble black, faced each other last year at Cybre-Slam!

Crewe: What? Are you kiddin’ me?

Thaddeus: I think I'd remember, fella.

Crewe: You’re thinking of that Sean Pason guy – I ain’t never seen you before!

Thaddeus: You expect me to believe there's ANOTHER colored wrestler?! That'll be the day!

Dice: And you didn't "vanquish" me, I BEAT you!

Thaddeus: [laughs] Silly Robit! Your thinking thingamajig must be off the rails!

Michaels: Will you just hurry up and tell us what this is about?

Thaddeus: Gladly! You see, gentlemen and negro, I fancy myself quite a hunter. I have brought down the mightiest beasts in all four corners of the world. But now, I am ready to hunt the most dangerous game of all: MAN! Shall I explain?

Dice: Do I want to hear this?

Crewe: I don’t think I like where this is headin’.

Thaddeus: You're free to go at any time, but I believe this will be worth your while. You see, I believe in giving back... and I'm giving you an opportunity. At Cybre-Slam.. we shall have a hunt.... in the form of a new sort of Ingenious match. Last year, I faced TWO competitors. This Cybre-Slam, I shall face THREE.. you! Like a hunter, I will stalk my prey and strike! But, if you are to somehow survive... you will claim my belt, the very one bestowed on me by the congress of wrestling territories!

Crewe: Wait, so all I gotta do is whoop your ass, and whoop they asses, and I get the US title?

Thaddeus: Correct. But be warned... once you're indentified as prey, the hunter may strike at any time! Do we have a deal, gentlemen?

[Dice, Crewe and Michaels think about it. Then all nod in agreement.]

Thaddeus: Excellent! Now, the hunt is on!

[Thaddeus reaches to the wall and pulls out a crossbow. He aims it in the middle of his three opponents, who all dive out of the way. Thaddeus fires an arrow into one of the leather chairs as Dice, Crewe and Michaels run out of the room and the camera fades to ringside]

Wilden: All three of these men – in a match against Thaddeus Walker for the US Title?

Hart: Brilliance!

Wilden: But Ronald Crewe was never in a match against him!

Hart: Yes, he was! What are you talking about, Lance?

Wilden: Ugh – anyway folks, Chazz Mendel, our newest World Champion, is in the arena tonight – and is slated to address the cWo tonight!

Hart: I knew there was a reason I was here tonight, Lance – this is a double dose of glory, I’m telling you! Nick Dangerous earlier tonight – and now Chazz Mendel!

[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 opening riff of "Tiger The Lion" rolls across the PA and the crowd boos as the new cWo World Champion, Chazz Mendel comes walking out from the back wearing his crown and cape. The world Title belt is secured around his waist.]

Donna Dixon: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing at this time, he is "THE VILLIAN OF THE YEAR", AND THE NEEEWWWWWW CWO WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, CHHAAAAZZZZ MMEEENNDEELLLL!!

Wilden: Well if you ask me, the World Championship currently around the waist of Chazz Mendel should be around the waist of Johnny Serious, who won it fair and square, and then was screwed by Nick Dangerous into defending it after a grueling match to win it.

Hart: Are you going to say that Chazz Mendel didn't win it fair and square last week!?

Wilden: I'm not going to say that, but--

Hart: But what! Chazz didn't cheat to beat anybody, who cares about Serious and Nick! Stop crying, Lance, the era of Mendel has begun! Revel in it! REVEL!

[Chazz makes his way down the aisle to the ring. Once in the ring, he takes the microphone from Donna Dixon, and ushers her out of the ring.]

Chazz: LONG LIVE THE KING!!! I AM THE KING!!

[The crowd starts booing The Villain Of The Year.]

Wilden: Oh brother...

Chazz: What? You don't like that? That's a shame... I think it's got a great ring to it. Especially since I proved that what happened two weeks ago was nothing but a hickup in what I like to call DESTINY.

[More boos from the crowd, and a few "Serious!" chants go up through the crowd.]

Chazz: You see, Dangerous Engagement was supposed to be the night where I took hold of this [pats the World title belt on his waist.] and made my ascension to true Wrestling immortality! And there were only two people standing in my way... But they were both disposed of in the most glorious fashion last week!

[The Serious chants get louder as Chazz speaks.]

Chazz: Oh come on! Do you really think he's going to come out here and face yet another humiliating defeat at the hands of Chazz Mendel, The One and Only, The Villain Of The Year, THE WORLD CHAMPION?! I think not! And besides, I wouldn't give that peasant the time of day! He's had more than his fair share of shots at MY belt, and as long as there's breath in my body, he will NEVER get the opportunity to hold the World Title. I've said it once before, and I'll say it again, Johnny Serious is a LOSER, and LOSERS don't become World Champs. If Nick Dangerous still thinks he can take the belt from me, he can come take his shot. So you people, and I use that term loosely, can just SHUT UP!

[Chazz kicks the bottom rope as the crowd starts to chant for Serious even louder than before. Chazz starts to pace around the ring while the crowd gets their cheers for Serious out of their system.]

Chazz: Enough of that, I want to go on to some more pressing matters. Last week, we saw a family reunion of sorts in the face of what we all thought was a tragedy. My father, Reg Mendel, was thought to have perished in that horrific Zeppelin crash the night of Dangerous Engagement. Our good family friend, Thaddeus Walker, was holding a memorial service for our father the following week when my brother, Andrew Mendel came out and blasphemed all over our father's good name! We had it out a bit there, but I want more answers, so big brother, COME ON DOWN!

["Epic" by Faith No More cues on the PA and Andrew Mendel walks out onto the ramp, wearing his "I'M THE FAVORITE!" t-shirt and his ring tights. He walks down the ramp with his arms folded across his chest, looking annoyed.]

Wilden: Well it would appear that Andrew's got new entrance music, and some would say a new outlook on life! And last week these two brothers had a heated argument, airing their family laundry on television, and well, we also found out that Andrew Mendel had a--

Hart: No! Do not speak of it! I refuse to believe it!

Wilden: But Robbie--

Hart: I REFUSE!!

[Andrew rolls into the ring and glares at his brother for a second, before going to the ropes and standing on the bottom rope with one leg and on the second rope with another, playing to the sold out crowd, which causes Chazz to look on in disgust. Andrew grabs a microphone from ringside and a small "CBK! CBK!" chant goes up for a moment, causing him to smile. Chazz shakes his head.]

Chazz: Do you believe these idiots? Thinking you care that they can chant those initials! It just means this hick town got up to the eleventh letter of the alphabet, anyone not born Iowa knows that!

[The crowd boos loudly and Andrew smiles and shakes his head.-

Andrew: Well, that may be true, Chazzworth, but at least they don't look like they belong on a happy meal! [Grabs at Chazz's crown] Is that cardboard?

Chazz: Don't touch my crown! You haven't earned that right! And besides that, I have questions that need answers!

Andrew: Look, I know what you're gonna say little brother- that I disrespected you, that you feel hoodwinked and bamboozled and misled, that I should respect you and what not. And I guess you're at least part right- after all, you are the World Heavyweight Champion, and I am not. So I guess that it'd be only fair that I give you some applause.

Chazz: You owe me more than applause! I think you should hit your knees and bow before me big brother! Because now, I can say without fail, without a doubt, and no one can disagree, that I, Chazz Mendel am the favourite Mendel! And not only that, but I'm the BEST Mendel on top of that!

[The crowd boos as Andrew Mendel scratches his head.]

Andrew: I, uh, think that you’re a little confused. First off, little brother, check the shirt-[tugs on it] clearly I'm the favorite! [turns around] My name is even on the back! And as for you being the best Mendel, just because you fluked out and took advantage of Johnny Serious doing the hard work for you and won the World Championship on a whim, doesn't make you the best Mendel!

Chazz: Oh, I beg to differ! I mean, besides a bad haircut and a lousy superkick, what do you have that I don't, huh? I've got the looks, the talent and the brains in the family, Andrew! And the one thing you've never been...you've never, EVER been...is a World Champion! Me, I'm a six-time...count it Andrew, a SIX TIME World Heavyweight Champion! And are you also forgetting that In two of those cases, I was the longest reigning champion in two organizations, hell, I was STILL Champion when your old stomping grounds IWF closed and you were at home nursing your drug habit, big bro!

[The crowd boos as Andrew smirks.]

Andrew: Well, you're right, I was nursing my drug habit, but at least I wasn't sitting on my ass, getting milked for every penny I had by a little bitch with an alcohol problem by the name of Chase Martelle, now was I, little bro!

[The crowd "OHHHHHHHH's" as Chazz Mendel says "don't you dare even mention her!"}

Andrew: Ya see little brother, I could stand out here, taking all the little potshots at you that I can, airing your personal s*BEEP!*t like you seem so eager to do mine, but I'm not out here for that. And I'm not out here to answer any of your questions either. Ya see, I can't help but notice that you...(Andrew taps on the belt around Chazz's waist) don't have an opponent for Cyberslam. And since, well, I'm free...

[The crowd starts to buzz and Andrew smiles, until "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult cues on the PA. Andrew and Chazz turn to see Reg Mendel come out, back in his perfectly tailored suit and a black cownboy hat, to a somewhat mixed reaction. He walks down the ramp, shaking his head]

Wilden: Oh boy, things just got a little more interesting.

Hart: Fresh from the cold grip of death, Reg Mendel is back, after the EPIC, the tremendous Race Around the World, when he was thought to be lost, to be dead! I'm happy to see Reg here tonight!

Wilden: Ugh.

Hart: What do you mean ugh!? For him to escape was a thing of magic!

Wilden: Whatever!

[Reg climbs in the ring and snatches a mic from Donna Dixon. He walks to the center of the ring and separates the boys.]

Reg: Now that's about enough from the both of ya, do you hear me! I see that this family has gone straight to hell without me around! My two children have been at each other's throat!

Chazz: He started it!

Andrew: Oh I started it!

Reg: Ya know something...he's right, you did start it, Andy!

[The crowd boos as Andrew looks confused.]

Reg: Last week when you decided not to go to my memorial service you started it! Hell, even I MADE IT to my own damn funeral! But you couldn't be arsed to come! And to top it off, your brother gets an opportunity to wrestle for the World Title, after he got screwed at Dangerous Engagement, and you go an endorse that scumbag Johnny Serious!

[The crowd begins to chant for Serious again.]

Reg: Chanting for that boy doesn't make him any less of a loser!

[Chazz laughs and nods as the crowd boos. Andrew strokes his chin, as if pondering something.]

Andrew: Well ya know something, Dad. You two may not like Johnny Serious, but I gotta respect a guy like Johnny, who can win a match clean, whereas Nick Dangerous had to use his manager to make a BS a call, and whereas your dearest boy Chazzworth had to wait for Johnny to do the hard work, then come in with a cheap kick to win!

[The crowd cheers as Chazz shakes his head.]

Reg: And that's exactly why the answer to your question is no! I know you, boy, you were going to come out here and demand a World Championship shot at Cyberslam, weren't you!

[Andrew nods and the crowd cheers.]

Andrew: Figured it was worth a shot.

Reg: Well unfortunately, that shot won't be happening! [The crowd boos.] You've done nothing to earn it first and foremost, and your brother can't seem to talk some sense into you and get you to start acting like a Mendel again! So as much as you want it, and as much as the Iowa City jerks want it, it's just not gonna be! If you want that, you've got to earn it!

[Andrew shakes his head as Chazz smirks.]

Chazz: Well, you know what Dad, I agree!

Wilden: What a kiss ass...

Hart: SHH!!

Chazz: And you know what, Dad, despite his poor attitude and disposition, tonight, if he gets into trouble with Serious...I'll have his vote.

Reg: Thatta boy! Now, you two, shake hands and let's be done with it!

[Andrew rolls his eyes, but extends his hand. Chazz shakes his head, but Reg shoves him forward. The two glare at each other, but slowly and quickly shake hands. "Don't Fear The Reaper" cues on the PA and Reg holds both his son's arms high.]

Wilden: And I'm not sure this family issue between Reg, Chazz and Andrew Mendel is really resolved or not, what I do know is that Andrew is in the main event, and should anything go bad, Chazz will have his back. Supposedly.

Hart: Damn straight he will! That's what family does!

Wilden: I don't know about that...but folks, we’re going to head to a commercial break – when we get back, Andrew Mendel will be back in this ring!

[Tony "Totally" Awesome sits at his desk, playing a portable video game system. Heretic barges into his office.]

Heretic: Herschel, I need a favor.

Tony "Totally" Awesome: I'm busy! Can't you see I'm busy?

Heretic: No. It looks to me like you're sitting on your ass.

Tony "Totally" Awesome: [holds up the game system] Do you know what I'm playing? Let me tell you what I'm playing! This is the new cWo video game! You're an unlockable character!

Heretic: That's great. I need a favor.

Tony "Totally" Awesome: I'm listening.

Heretic: Muru needs some motivation. Who's the toughest guy on the roster?

[Tony continues staring at the monitor as the camera fades to black]

Commercial Break

[Camera pans backstage to a blackened room where a dark figure is made out, kneeling on the dirty floor. Head upright, his face stares at the wall, concentrating on a gleaming piece of metal that was patched together. He lets out a sigh and tugs on the cilice on his left leg, eliciting a groan, but at the same time, beginning to speak]

Roman: Long have I failed you, O Father! Long have I looked away and turned my head; long have I stepped awkwardly and walked post those in dire need; my punishment is commuted – I’ve been Your servant for far too long. My penance is done. It is time for me to push onward – the time of failure has come and gone.

[Christian digs the cilice deeper into his leg as blood trickles down his calf. He groans once more, but continues speaking]

Roman: OMEGA is in my sights, O Lord. Nothing will prevent me from attaining my goal this time. The past…Heretic, ASM – it matters no longer. Notorious JON is the only one remaining. He is the principle, the apex. He is my goal. It is time.

[Christian smiles dimly as the camera fades to ringside]

Hart: What the hell is he talking about? He needs to stop tugging on that metal thing around his leg!

Wilden: Well – he’s continuing on his quest against OMEGA!

Hart: Which he’s failed, time and time again! He’s just a thorn in their side and doesn’t take a hint! I don’t get it!

Wilden: Ugh – anyway folks, we’re going to head on down to the ring right now for our featured match of the evening – so let’s allow Donna to take it away!

Donna Dixon: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is our MAAAAIIINNN EEVVVEENNTT!

(The lights go our as the Voice of Johnny Serious comes over the sound system and says "Are You SERIOUS." An orange light turns on in the arena as the song "You Can't Be Serious" by Classified plays. Johnny Serious makes his way out to the ring.)

Donna Dixon: Introducing first, from Hollywood, California, weighing in at 245 pounds, JOHHNNNNNNYYYY SSEERRRRIIOOUUSSS!!

WIlden: Well conspicious by her absense is Evette, who'd usually accompany the former World Heavyweight Champion down to ring side, but after that half-crazed promo by a very, very unstable Mr. Rich, Johnny Serious suggested that Evette run along back to their hotel room, and I'm forced to agree, Mr. Rich...he's just not in the right state of mind right now, I'm fearing for her safety!

Hart: Rich is just a little heartbroken! His best friend stabs him in the back, his wife leaves him and spends away his hard earned fortune! He has a right to be a little off his rocker, I would be!

Wilden: You already are.

Hart: HEY!

(He enters the ring, goes to a corner, climbs the turnbuckle and raises his hands to the crowd with a playful cocky smile as the regular house lights come back on. Then the opening strains of Faith No More's "Epic" cue on the PA. Fireworks explode from the ramp as the chorus kicks in and Andrew Mendel walks out onto the ramp as golden sparks roll from the top of the cWo-Tron.)

Donna Dixon: And his opponent, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 235 pounds, HE IS "THE COMEBACK KID", ANDDDREEWWW MENDEL!!!

Wilden: The older brother of our current World Heavyweight Champion, Andrew Mendel has not wrestled a match since Veneration, when he was abruptly fired. Last week he made his return to cWo televisio, can he get it done and prove he's stil got it in the ring tonight!

Hart: I'm not sure what's gotten into Andrew, to be honest!

Wilden: What do you mean?

Hart: They way he's disrespecting his family and their name...it just doesn't seem like him! Do you think he went a little stir crazy?

Wilden: I happen to like the new direction Andrew's taken, it seems like he's got a new outlook on life, a better outlook, and I can't say I hate tha Andrew's actually kind of a family ma--

Hart: NO! STOP RIGHT THERE! I will not mention Andrew's indiscretions on that matter!

(Andrew walks down the ramp and rolls to the ring, then runs over to the turnbuckle and raises his arms slowly in the air to get the adulation from the crowd. Then he hops down from the apron and takes off his ring jacket while Johnny Serious bounces off the ropes a couple of times for warm up.)

DING DING DING!

Wilden: And we're off to the races, the return match of Andrew Mendel vs. Johnny Serious, and these two men circle one aother and lock up, center of the ring. Not much different in hiegh or weight in this specific match, Andrew does have the experience advantage of Serious, but arguably no one in cWo has the same amount of momentum, as we see Andrew Mendel take Serious down with a headlock takeover, side headlock applied.

Hart: Wait, what momentum? The last two big matches he's been in he lost!

Wilden: Johnny Serious won the cWo World Heavyweight Championship! The only reason he's not champion now is because of a bushleague contractual clause, and because once again he was screwed out of the belt last week!

Hart: You don't think Andrew has momentum?

Wilden: That remains to be seen as Johnny Serious is able to stack CBK up on his shoulders, pinning preciment, ONE, TWO, NO! CBK pops out and still manages to keep the headlock on, but Johnny able to roll him up again, CBK let's go to kick out of it, CBK quickly back to his feet as is Serious, Serious goes for the clothesline, CBK ducks it and hits the ropes but Serious catches him with the arm drag! Andrew rolls back to his feet though, Serious in and now Andrew Mendel gets the arm drag! And now Serious rolls back to his feet, CBK charges him but Serious elevates him up over the top rope! But Andrew lands on the apron, Serious turns around and gets clocked with a stiff forearm that sends him staggering back, and now the elder Mende taking a play out of Chazz' book, springboards off the top rope, OH, but Serious catches him! Serious has him, and now he's gonna try for the swinging side slam, but CBK able to swing around with the crucifix pin!

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Serious pops out of it somehow! And now again these two men back to their feet, CBK hits the ropes AND SERIOUS WITH A PICTURE PERFECT DROP KICK! And now Serious quickly on the cover,

ONE!

TWO!

NO! This time Andrew Mendel kicks out! Fast and furious action to start this match off as Johnny Serious isn't gonna let CBK get time to rest, no rivalry here, just pure competitive spirit as Johnny Serious gets back to his feet and yanks CBK up by the hair, decks him with a few right hands and sends Andrew into the ropes but Andrew comes off with a BIG flying forearm! And Andrew with the kip up! Serious back to his feet and now, it's Andrew with a dropsault! A game of oneupmanship as now CBK has the lateral press, hook of the leg...

ONE!

TWO!

TH, NO! Serious with the kick out this time. These two men so competitive, so hungry to keep on proving themselves, CBK's got a lot to prove in his mind, to prove that his come back means something, and now CBK hauls Serious back to his feet and just LAYS some stiff knife edge chop into him. CBK sends Serious into the ropes, Serious comes off and CBK gets a big back body drop! And Andrew Mendel not wasting time, hitting the ropes and dropping an elbow into the chest of Johnny Serious, lateral press again, ONE, TWO, NO! Again Serious kicks out. Lot's of pin fall attempts in this match, especially considering how early on in the match it is, perhaps Andrew worried that he might not have the gas to go after being out of the ring for so long, there's no substitute for ring time as any wrestler will attest to.

Hart: I don't think that's the case, I think CBK has the gas, this match is just competitive!

Wilden: Indeed it is as CBK hauls Serious back to his feet, sends him into the ropes and bends down, OH! But he telegraphs it, Serious with the kick and now a Flatliner! That reverse STO by Serious, and yet another cover...

ONE!

TWO!

THR...NO! CBK able to weasle that shoulder up off the canvas. Johnny Serious hauls CBK back to his feet, and now some stiff forearm shots and a European uppercut to boot, backs CBK into the ropes, but CBK comes back with those chops again, reversing and now Serious is leaning against the ropes as CBK hits the parallel set, gonna try and clothesline Serious but Johnny elevates him over the top rope! But CBK able to land on the apron! But Serious with a right hand, CBK almost slips off the apron but doesn't quite fall, but Johnny Serious, runs towards the corner, jumps off the ropes and delivers a dropkick to the face of CBK that sends CBK down to the floor! And Serious up to his feet and the crowd roars their approval!

Hart: I don't know if I can cheer for CBK, but I can't cheer for Serious! I'm confused!

Wilden: I doubt either man cares if you cheer for them or not, as CBK is slowly getting back to his feet on the outside, trying to recover, but wait, Serious on the inside hits the ropes AND DIVES BETWEEN THE ROPES WITH THE TOUPE! And CBK crashes on the outside, and Johnny is back to his feet and playing to this capaciting crowd!

Hart: He should be more concerned with putting CBK, not playing to this crowd!

Wilden: Johnny Serious is pumped, and you've got to think that this is a way to get back at Chazz Mendel, yet another man steals the World Championship from him, and now he's getting to take it out on his brother! And now CBK is staggering back to his feet, and Johnny Serious with the right hand, another right, another right! CBK looks out of it as Serious backs up, looks for the clothesline, BUT ANDREW DUCKS! My God, Serious got over zealous and his left arm collided with the post! And Andrew saw that, and now hes stomping away at that arm!

Hart: Do it! Do it Andrew! Show Reg you've still got it!

Wilden: And Johnny scrambles back up to his feet to escape, CBK rolls in and out of the ring to break the count, he smells the blood, that left arm became a target the second that Serious hit the turnbuckle, CBK jogs to catch up with Serious and clubs him in the back! Serious not gonna take that, battling back with that good right hand, but CBK buries a knee into his midsection, and bow CBK grabs that arm and slams it into the ring steps! And Serious cries out in pain off that!

Hart: Do it, break it! Make your Dad proud!

Wilden: That's disgusting, but it look like CBK might just do that as he bangs that hand against the steps again! And again Serious cries out, but now...what's CBK doing?

Hart: It looks like he's setting that arm on the ringsteps and...now he's climbing up on the ringsteps.

Wilden: And now he's stepping on Serious hand with his left foot....AND HE STEPS ON HIS FOREARM WITH THE OTHER FOOT! He used the ring steps to sandwich Johnny's arm, and Johnny crying, screaming in pain! That was sick! And Johnny rolls into the ring for a reprieve, but the damage has to be done here!

Hart: Stay on him, Andrew!

Wilden: And indeed Andrew is following your advice, sliding into the ring and going right after Johnny, but Johnny comes back with that right hand! And another right! And another! Oh, but CBK with the boot to the stomach, CBK now, hits the ropes and throws the clothesline, but Serious ducks it, FULL NELSON!! AND ANDREW JUST GOT SERIOUS'D! COULD IT BE OVER SO SOON!

Hart: No! No! Reg! Chazz! Jesus! Someone help!

Wilden: That arm still in a bad way, but he's gonna try and get on the corner...hey, wait a minute! Nick Dangerous and Jack Union are coming down to the ring! What the hell are they doing!?

Hart: They've come to stop this travesty!

Wilden: And Dangerous and Union slide into the ring AND NOW THEY'RE STOMPING AWAY ON SERIOUS!!

DING DING DING!

Wilden: This crowd is not happy, we were seeing the start of a terrific main event match-up tonight! And now these vultures are here, and why! What do Nick and Jack have to prove!

Hart: That Serious is a sham! A joke! A nimrod! A jerk! A moron!

Wilden: Oh shut up! This is just sad and sick and...and now Nick Dangerous is grabbing the arm...AND HE'S GOT THE DANGEROUS ARMBAR APPLIED! And Johnny Serious is screaming out in agony, and Union is just stomping on his midsection, on his chest, this is a mugging, the bell's rung, the referee has lost control of these two heathens!

Hart: Heathens!?

Wilden: And Andrew Mendel is finally coming to after He Got Serioused, and he looks out of it and gets to his feet and catches glimpse of the mugging going on in the center of the ring...and Andrew Mendel clocks Jack Union!! Andrew catches Union from behind! And now he's grabbed ahold of the top rope and is stomping on Nick Dangerous!

Hart: No! They're on your side, Andrew!

Wilden: They also just costed him the match! Dangerous finally lets go of the Dangerous Armbar and slips out of the ring to escape CBK's kicks! And now Andrew turns around, UNION'S GOING FOR THE UNION JACK, but Andrew shoves him away, Union into the ropes AND THE DRUMAX!! The superkick from Andrew Mendel knocks Union out, he crashes and rolls outside! And this crowd is on fire as Andrew Mendel stands tall!

Hart: They aren't your enemies, Andrew! Serious is!

Wilden: I don't think Andrew thinks so as...as he helps Serious back to his feet!

(Andrew Fiasco's music cues on the PA and out onto the stage as Nick and Jack scream at Andrew and Johnny.)

Fiasco: Hey! Union! Nick! You guys seem pretty eager to fight tonight! So how about this; since you ruined my main event, and you seem pretty pumped up, this singles match...just turned into a TAG TEAM MATCH!

(The crowd explodes as Union and Dangerous yell no. Andrew smiles, as does Johnny.)

Fiasco: Referee, ring the bell, because that match starts RIGHT NOW!!

DING DING DING!

Wilden: Oh my God, what a collosal main event change!

Hart: Nick and Jack are in street clothes! They aren't ready to wrestle!

Wilden: And inside the ring, CBK and Serious shrug at each other...and now they both hits the ropes, AND THE SAIL OVER THE TOP ROPE ONTO DANGEROUS AND UNION! They damn sure want to battle it out and now!

Hart: This isn't fair! Why is CBK taking part in this!

Wilden: And now CBK tosses Jack Union back into the ring and follows him inside, and you have to think Union and Dangerous were not expecting it, Union staggers back up to his feet, knife edge chop to the chest of Union, Union fires back with a right hand, CBK buries the knee into his midsection, sends Union into the ropes and nails him with the BIG back body drop! Union cries out as CBK yanks him back up to his vertical base and hooks him up in the front face lock, throws the arm over his neck, and now CBK with the big time vertical suplex! And now CBK tags Johnny Serious, who quickly comes in, covers Union...

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Union with the kick out. But Johnny Serious right into the front facelock, the chancery to be more precise, and now Union rolls out of it, able to get his knee under him and able to get back to his feet, and Union punches at that arm! Serious cries out and Union with the arm wrench, and these guys obvious saw what Andrew did to that arm will that come back around to bite this impromptu tag team in the backside!

Hart: It should! These guys don't even deserve to be out here!

Widlen: They wanted to impose their physical will, Andrew Fiasco said fine, we'll do it y way, within the confines of a wrestling match, Union now, going to try and whip Serious into the ropes, Serious with the reversal, Union comes off the ropes and gets a dropkick to the face! Serious is keeping the arm close to his side, doesn't want to expose it to any injury as Jack Union gets back to his feet, and Serious rakes Union's back! But again, Union jerks that left arm, Serious clutches at it as Union hits the ropes and comes off looking for a cross body block, but Johnny Serious catches him! Bad arm and all, Serious caught Union, AND NOW THE SERIOUS SLAM!! Union almost flies out of the ring with that fall away slam! And Serious quickly makes the tag to Andrew Mendel, who hops over the top rope and guns it for Nick Dangerous and knocks him off the apron!

Hart: WHY! That's not fair! Nick didn't do anything!

Wilden: And Union is slowly back to his feet, CBK is hyped up and excited as he snatches Union in the side headlock, Union backs him off into the ropes and shoves him into the parallel set, CBK tries for the clothesline but Union ducks it and hits the ropes himself, Andrew Mendel with the leap frog as Union ducks under him, both men hit the ropes again and this time it's Union that leap frogs, CBK goes under, puts on the breaks as Union comes off the ropes again...and a thumb to the eye! Blatant thumb to the eye!

Hart: Oh come on, ref! This...this just isn't fair!

Wilden: That's like the sixth time you've said that!

Hart: Well it's not!

Wilden: Quite frankly, Andrew doesn't give a damn, as again he delivers a knife edge chop to Union, and another, and another! And again the irish whip into the ropes, oh, wait, Nick made the blind tag, Union comes off and CBK with the standing hurricanrana! And now CBK is drilling Union with the right hand shots, gets back to his feet and Nick Dangerous hits him with a high knee! Nick Dangerous with the high knee that haults Andrew Mendel's momentum. And believe it or not, these two men have only faced each other once before in PWR, in a match where Nick Dangerous and Andrew Mendel where the number one and two entrants into a battle royal, with CBK eliminating Nick Dangerous to be come the winner, that was the only time these two met, and now they're meeting tonight as Dangerous now, with some knife edge chops of his own, sends Andrew into the ropes, CBK comes off and Nick Dangerous drops him with the Samoan drop! And Nick Dangerous waste no time, he rolls CBK to his stomach, and now Dangerous hits the ropes, and he drops an elbow into the back of CBK.

Hart: And Nick's doing good work, breaking down CBK, slowing down his pace, and now looks, Nick with an elbow into the neck!

Wilden: And now Nick Dangerous with the front chancery on CBK, crimping that neck some more. Perhaps Nick Dangerous has found his body part to pick apart, much like Andrew had planned to on doing to Johnny Serious, who looks on anxiously from the apron, and CBK tries to roll out of the hold but Nick Dangerous keeps it on, and now he's throwing the knees into his head! And now CBK gets back to his feet, shot to the gut by Andrew but Nick Dangerous keeps the hold on and gets back to his corner, Union makes the tag, Nick's still got that chancery cinched in and Union with a boot to the stomach. Referee forcing Nick out as Union continues the assault, grabbing Andrew's head and throwing an elbow into it! And now a European uppercut, and now Union with another elbow to the back of the neck! But Andrew, fighting back with rights and lefts!

Hart: Fight Andrew, fight! Wait! No! Union! NO! Andrew!

Wilden: My partner rather conflicted as CBK starts with the knife edge chop, then a right hand, chop again, and another right hand! Andrew Mendel trying to fight back, boot to the stomach, sends Union into the ropes, bends down but telegraphs it as Union kicks him in the face, and now Union just takes his head off with a clothesline! And that sure as hell isn't going to help the neck of Andrew Mendel! And Union right into the rear chin lock on Andrew, bending that neck backwards across his knee.as CBK cries out. And Serious has his hand outstretched he wants the tag from Andrew Mendel, and now this sold-out crowd, trying to breathe some life into ANdrew Mendel, and he's slowly fighting his way out of it!

Hart: Go Andrew! Go!

Wilden: This crowd feeding off Andrew Mendel as he gets back to his feet, and he throws the elbows into Union's midsection, Mendel gets loose from the hold! And now he's gonna try for the tag, but Union clotheslines him from behind, right across the neck again! And then Union takes a cheap shot on Serious, sending off the apron to the floor, and I think Johnny landed on that bad arm!

Hart: Serves him right!

Wilden: And now Jack Union buries the boot into the stomach of Andrew Mendel, hits the ropes and nails him with a running knee lift! More whiplash on that neck, and everytime Andrew hits the mat he grabs at the back of his neck as Union quickly goes over and makes the tag to Nick Dangerous. Mendel came out like a house of fire, but he's been put out now as he slowly makes his way to his feet, and Nick charges him and takes him down with the swinging neckbreaker! Nick Dangerous stalking Mendel as he gets back to his feet and again Nick Dangerous with a swinging neckbreaker, and now Nick Dangerous...he locks in the Anaconda Vice! The Anaconda Vice locked in on Andrew Mendel! And how do you escape this hold!

Hart: Nothing but pain and torque! CBK had better tap and save himself some pain!

Wilden: But wait, here comes Serious! Serious dives into the ring and Nick lets go and sprints across the ring, making the tag to Union! Nick wanted nothing to do with Johnny Serious, who the referee has to force back to his corner. Serious wants in this match, but Union and Nick have Mendel right where they want him. And now Union hauls Andrew Mendel up to his feet, boot to the stomach, and now Union's going to go for the UNION JACK, but CBK grabs hold of the ropes! CBK hooked those ropes and Union crashes on the canvas. And now CBK needs to make the tag, to get some sort of reprieve in this match-up, CBK trying to make it to his corner and Serious has his arm out reaches, but...Union got his legs wrapper around CBK's! And Andrew gets tripped up, and Union back to his feet trying to take advantage witht he right hands to CBK, tries for the irish whip, but CBK reverses, kick to the gut, AND...

Hart: DANGEROUS DDT! PAYING TRIBUTE TO HIS BROTHER!!

Wilden: I think CBK likes to call that DDT The CluCussion!! But CBK not going for the cover, instead, he's crawling towards that corner, Jack Union is as well, that neck has to be killing Andrew as he crawls for the corner, Nick Danerous screaming for Jack to make the tag! Jack's an inch away...but CBK gets the tag first!! And Serious hops over that top rope, and Nick hops off the apron!! Jack Union is left all alone, scrambles back to his feet and gets right hands to the face for his trouble, Serious tries for the irish whip, Union with the reversal but Serious comes off with a BIG TIME CLOTHESLINE!! And now the kip-up! This crowd is absolutely on fire tonight! And now Serious goes right to the corner and yanks Nick Dangerous over the top rope into the ring!

Hart: Oh no! Nick! Get out! Get out now!

Wilden: And Johnny Serious is stalking Nick Dagerous, Serious wants a piece of the former World Champion!! And Union is going to sneak up on Serious from behind, BUT OH MY GOD, THE DRUMAX!! ANDREW MENDEL JUST NAILED UNION WITH THE SUPERKICK!! And now Serious has got free reign to do what he will with Nick Dangerous...

(The crowd buzzes a little as a cWo official runs down the ramp and hops on the apron, flagging down Johnny Serious.)

Wilden: Now wait a second hear...one of our agents is trying to get Serious attention, we're...we're in the middle of a main event here!

Hart: Maybe he just wanted to save Nick!

Wilden: And now the agent in the ring, and he's whispering something to Serious. What is going on?

Hart: Hey look! LOOK! Serious is leaving!

(A distraught looking Serious dives out of the ring and charges up the ramp, much to the dismay and confusion of the fans who boo their disapproval. Andrew looks to be in panic mode as he screams at Serious to come back.)

Wilden: Johnny Serious just took off out of the arena like a rocket! And he was the legal man, but he just adandoned The Comeback Kid!

Hart: Oh boy! Andrew's all alone!

Wilden: And Andrew Mendel, he...I don't think he's even the legal man!! And Nick Dangerous and Jack Union are both getting back to their feet, this is going to take some quick thinking here!

Hart: Wait! Lance! Look!

(Chazz Mendel walks out onto the ramp, title over his shoulder, hand on his hip.)

Hart: Chazz is here to help!

Wilden: I don't know about that, he seems in no hurry to get to the ring as Andrew Mendel is in one BAD situation as Union and Nick both realize that Johnny Serious is gone. And Andrew looks sick to his stomach. And he looks out into this crowd, who cheers him on loudly, and Chazz is up on the ramo shaking his head. And now Andrew Mendel shrugs his shoulder...AND HE SPEARS NICK DANGEROUS!! And Union jumps right on him with the kicks to the back and drops an elbow into the back of the head, torque on that neck and now Nick Dangerous back up to his feet, and they both start stomping away on Andrew Mendel!! And dammit, this has become nothing but a glorified handicap match! And Chazz Mendel is just watching his older brother get mugged!

Hart: Chazz did say Andrew needed to be taught a lesson in humility, and maybe this is his way of insuring that's going to happen!

Wilden: Well if that's the case he's a worse man than I thought he was! And now Union and Dangerous are picking the damn bones apart, hauling the defenseless Comeback Kid back to his feet, and now both men sends Andrew off into the ropes, BUT CBK COMES BACK WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! This crowd lit up and roared it's approval with that manuever!

Hart: See! Chazz looks intrigued!

Wilden: Andrew Mendel can't afford to dilly dally here, he has take out one of these men and get the win now and quickly!! And Andrew Mendel yanks Nick Dangerous back to his feet, and now he yanks Nick's arms across his throat! Andrew Mendel going to try for The Bitchbreaker here...but Union clumbs him from behind. And now he spins Andrew around AND THE UNION JACK!! Dammit, it's over, and it's damn sure elementary!! And...and Union's not going for the cover here. But why?

Hart: Why do it now! Maybe CBK does need to be humbled tonight! He did get involved in their business, you know!

Wilden: This is the man's return match, he doesn't deserve this as now Nick Dangerous yanks him back to his feet...and now the DANGEROUS KICK!! COME ON!! Now it's a mugging!! This is sick! Andrew Mendel has got to be completely out of it! And Chazz Mendel is just sitting there, watching his brother, looking...looking disappointed!!

Hart: Andrew should be willing to fight!! He should be pulling out that Mendel winning spirit!!

Wilden: Okay, you put the exclaimation point on it, you can stop it now!!

Hart: Andrew Mendel stuck his nose in their business, he disobeyed his father, he disrespected his brother...I hate to say it...but...TO HELL WITH ANDREW!!

Wilden: That's sick, and so is this! And now Nick Dangerous is going to pick him apart some more, and what does this prove? What does it mean, guys! That you can double team one man! Congratulations!

Hart: This is his comeuppance, and by not rising to the occasion he's disgracing his family's illustrious name!!

Wilden: Andrew Mendel is out on his feet here...but he still delivers a punch to Nick Dangerous! A final act of defiance, but Andrew staggers back and falls into the ropes, he's out, acting out instinct, but the lights are out, no one's home, and Nick Dangerous just laughs it off. And Nick Dangerous lifts a defenseless CBK back to his feet on onto his shoulders. And now here comes the DANGER DRIVER!! And Nick Dangerous on the cover...

ONE!!

TWO!!

THREE!!

Thank God it's over!!

DING DING DING!!

Donna Dixon: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners, JACK UNION AND NICK DANGEROUS!!

Wilden: This wasn't a match, it was a damn mugging!! And that smug bastard Chazz just stood there and watched his older brother get physically dissected!! How's that for family!

Hart: Andrew had to be taught a lesson!

Wilden: Not to mention Johnny Serious leaving Andrew in the middle of the match! And look at Nick celebrating, they beat a man two-on-one!! This crowd is just letting them have it, I'm surprised they aren't going to riot here tonight! And Andrew wasn't even the legal man!!

Hart: You talked about it becoming a handicap match!!

Wilden: The ref should've thrown this match out! And now...and now what? Jack Union is hauling Andrew Mendel back to his feet, and NOW HERE COMES CHAZZ!! DO THE RIGHT THING!

[Chazz Mendel runs down to the ring and hops up on the apron, looking like he's going to enter the ring. Then he drops off the apron and folds his arms over his chest.]

Wilden: COME ON CHAZZ!

Hart: It's tough love!

Wilden: And now Jack Union WITH ANOTHER UNION JACK!! DAMMIT!! DAMMIT!! What bullcrap! Andrew Mendel couldn't even defend himself!! And his damn brother didn't help him!! Folks, we're out of time for tonight, it's a damn shame the show had to end this way!! For Robbie Hart, I'm Lance Wilden...dammit this was a screw job!!
