[The Mac Machine walks down the hall and notices a man using an ATM. The Mac Machine approaches him.]

The Mac Machine: So what are you doing? Do you not care for me?

Man: I just need some cash.

The Mac Machine: That's what everyone says, "I just need some cash." SO WHY NOT COME TO ME?

Man: Ummm...

The Mac Machine: You didn't even think of me, thanks a lot pal. We are a dying species and you contribute to the extinction. This is what you get!

[The Mac Machine rips the cord out of the wall, causing the ATM to shut down.]

Man: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? MY CARD WAS IN THERE!

The Mac Machine: Another flaw in the ATM. Too bad you people insist on ATM's. Mac Machines use swipers, we don't eat plastic. Take care, spread the word.

[The Mac Machine walks away leaving the man baffled.]

The whole screen gets engulfed with flames as Heretic's laughter is heard once more.

[Pyros go off around the Key Arena in Seattle, and the camera pans the crowd, all of whom are on their feet anticipating cWo action. The camera pans the crowd several times, then stop at the announce table, where Joel Nelson sits next to Robbie Hart.]

Joel Nelson: Welcome to Seattle! Welcome to Driven! I’m Joel Nelson, joined by the one and only Robbie Hart, and we have another incredible night of action for all your cWo fans!

Robbie Hart: Well, maybe it’d be better if we had some Chazz Mendel. Maybe some Mike Logan. Jacob Baxter’d be a plus!

Nelson: I’m sure we’ll hear from all of your favorites tonight, Robbie. But lets waste no time and get the action started! Take it, Donna Dixon!

[We begin to hear "Murder Was The Case" by Snoop Dogg come over the p.a. system as we see J.J. Carter and Shabazz come walking through the crowd. They dodge the fans as they slowly walk through the people. As the get bombarded with boos, and obscene gestures we notice Shabazz seems to be waving a Pan African Flag as they hop over the barricade and begin to get into the ring. We hear the voice of Donna Dixon as she makes the first announcement of the match.]

Dixon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first being accompanied to the ring by Brother Shabazz, from Bridgeport, Connecticut weighing 195 pounds... J...J...CARTER!!!

Nelson: These two men have had some issues in the past, and we are going to see them all come out here tonight as JJ Carter is fixing to take on Raymond Jacobson.

Hart: Well, management, must not like these two men. They are in the opening match and they are both ready to tear each other apart.

[The lights in the arena quickly cut to black as we begin to hear the sound of "Image Of The Invisible" by Thrice. The lights begin to flash along with the beat of the music with a blue and purple tint. As the lyrics kick in we begin to listen as we watch Jacobson walk out on the stage. As Jacobson walks down the ramp he slaps the hands of the fans as he passes by. As he gets to the bottom of the ramp we see him singing along with the music.

We all were lost now we are found

No one can stop us or slow us down

We are the named and we are known

We know that we'll never walk alone

We're more than static and dial tone

We are the image of the invisible

We're emblematic of the unknown

We are the image of the invisible

So raise the banner, bend back your bows

We are the image of the invisible

Remove the cancer, take back your souls

We are the image of the invisible

Jacobson continues to make his way around the ring still singing along slapping the hands of the fans at ringside. Once he returns to the end of the ramp way he runs and slides under the bottom ropes before getting to his feet and walking over to a corner and looking out to the fans through his sunglasses. A smirk once again crosses his face as he takes off his glasses and throws them out to the crowd. Jacobson jumps off the ropes twisting and performing a summersault from the second rope getting up to a knee as the fans cheer. Jacobson gets to his feet and awaits the introduction.]

Dixon: And his opponent he hails from the Iron City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.. weighing 231 pounds, he is "YOUR NEW DRUG OF CHOICE" RAYMOND......JACOBSON!

[As the music and video cut out Jacobson takes the microphone away from Donna Dixon as he stands in the middle of the ring with the fans cheering.]

Nelson: It looks like we are going to hear some words from Jacobson right now.

Hart: Great we are going to be talked to death by this moron.

[Jacobson slowly raises the microphone up to his lips before beginning to speak.]

Jacobson: Carter, you and I really haven't had a problem, until you got involved in my US Title picture. If it wasn't for you that belt would be around my waist. And now you are walking around with a guy who is one of the biggest racists this business has ever seen. And it sickens me. So as of right now, I am going to put a stop to your campaigning.

[Jacobson drops the microphone and waist for Hector Garcia to ring the bell. As the bell sounds we see Carter and Jacobson lock up in a collar and elbow tie up. Carter pushes a little on Jacobson , but gets shoved to the ground.]

Nelson: Jacobson showing his power here. He has a slight weight advantage on Carter.

Hart: Slight Weight Advantage? He out ways him by 36 pounds, that isn't a slight weight advantage Joel.

[As Carter gets up to a knee we see him yelling at the referee. Jacobson quickly walks over and takes Carter and sends him into the ropes across the ring taking him down with a headlock on the way back. Jacobson continues to wrench down on the head lock as the Garcia checks to make sure it isn't a choke.]

Nelson: In the last couple of weeks, we have seen Jacobson start off most of his matches with some chain wrestling. He has really started to become more technically sound in the ring.

Hart: You are correct on that Joel. Jacobson seems to be getting serious in the ring now. He isn't goofing off any more. Maybe all those lessons from The ChED are paying off.

[Carter begins to get to his feet driving his elbow into the gut of Jacobson. Carter then shoves Jacobson off into the ropes connecting with a drop kick on the way back. Carter then locks in a head scissors on Jacobson as Garcia once again checks the hold.]

Hart: And some chain wrestling there from Carter. This could be a very good match Joel.

Nelson: I would have to agree Robbie. Lets just see what takes place.

[Jacobson quickly turns his body before lifting himself up into a head stand still in the head scissors. Carter Then quickly shoves Jacobson down with a pile driver like maneuver. Jacobson then falls back down as Carter continues to apply pressure on the hold.]

Nelson: Well that was innovative right there. That is going to cause a nasty stinger for Jacobson.

Hart: That could very well break some one's neck if enough force is used.

[Jacobson once again gets into the head stand position this time kicking his feet back landing on his feet before delivering a drop kick to the face of Carter causing him to roll away.]

Nelson: That was both feet straight to the face right there Robbie. That could have broken the nose of JJ.

Hart: It probably did. Maybe we need to get the paramedics out here to check on him.

[Carter rolls out of the ring as Jacobson stands in the middle looking at him. Carter places his hand over his face before removing it slowly to make sure there is no blood. He slowly gets up on the apron before getting back in to the ring. The two men then lock up once more.]

Nelson: Well, neither one of these men want to lose this week. And the way they are going, there might not be anything left of them afterwards.

Hart: Well, that is true, but one of these men will walk out with a victory.

[Jacobson powers out of the lock up with a power slam. Getting back to his feet he looks around before climbing up on the top ropes. Jacobson stays perched on the ropes waiting for Carter to get to his feet. Carter gets to a knee shoving Garcia into the ropes causing Jacobson to become crotched on the top turnbuckle.]

Nelson: Well, that was dirty. And that may have just cost Jacobson the match.

Hart: If it didn't cost him the match, it cost him his future children.

[Carter then makes his way towards the corner before ascending the ropes. Carter then sets Jacobson up for a suplex. As both men stand on the top ropes Carter delivers a brutal super plex causing both men to hit the mat hard.]

Nelson: That was INSANE!

Hart: This may be over right here. If Carter can get a pin, the match will be over.

[Carter slowly starts moving before he rolls his body over draping his arm across Jacobson's chest. Garcia then begins to make the count.

ONE...

TWO...

THR...KICK OUT!

Jacobson some how gets the shoulder up before the three count as we hear a shocking awe fall over the crowd.]

Nelson: How did he kick out of that? I honestly don't know how he had the energy left in him to kick out.

Hart: He has a big heart Joel. But Carter is one move away from winning this match.

[Suddenly, we now see Brother Shabazz holding a microphone, and standing up at the top of the ringside steps.]

Shabazz: Hey, hey you. White devil. Don't you get it? Tuesday was a mandate from the people. No, a mandate from God Himself. Obama is the leader of the free world, now is the time when the black man reigns supreme among the Earth.

[The crowd boos.]

Shabazz: Do yourself a favor Raymond, submit to Carter right now! Fight and you will only make it worse for yourself.

[Jacobson is now standing up, and Carter is pushing himself off the mat as well.]

Shabazz: You must of voted for McCain, what a dumbass. You just don't know when to give up do you Raymond? This is over!!

[Carter is now standing up on his feet, and locks up with Jacobson once again.]

Nelson: I have no idea how these guys are still going...

Hart: Just look at Shabazz Joel, he is a man on a mission. And under his guidance, J.J. Carter is...

Nelson: Carter under Shabazz's guidance? What? Carter was here for a year before Shabazz, and Carter is the one who has been a mentor to Shabazz in his fighting career.

Hart: But now Shabazz has taken over this black power movement.

Nelson: Well, yes. I think Carter is a bit more preoccupied with his ring affairs, and especially right now where...

[Jacobson is pushed into the ropes by Carter, then the two clothesline each other. Both are down, but Jacobson is lying on his back with Carter's hand at a low position.]

Nelson: Uh oh...

[Carter moves his hand onto Jacobson's chest, but not before hitting a low blow. Meanwhile, the referee does not see Shabazz holding down Jacobson's feet.]

Nelson: Wait a minute!!

1 ... 2 ... 3.

DING DING DING

[Shabazz now enters the ring, picking Jacobson off the mat. Carter rolls out of the ring, then reaches underneath and pulls out a whip.]

Nelson: Oh no, what is J.J. doing with that?

[Carter throws the whip into the ring to Shabazz, then runs around ringside to face Shabazz. Shabazz pushes Jacobson into the ropes, and Carter grabs his arms. Jacobson tries to kick Carter, but Carter moves his legs and instead puts Jacobsen into a tarantula.]

Nelson: This does not look well for Jacobson... he's staring down Brother Shabazz holding a whip.

Hart: This may be the first time in American history that the black guy is the one doing the whipping...

Nelson: Robbie!

Hart: What?

[Shabazz reaches into his pocket to grab the microphone again.]

Shabazz: Well well, look what we have here. A honkey all tied up. You know what? I don't like the name Raymond. I think from now on, I'm going to call you Toby.

Jacobson: Raymond!

[Shabazz whips Jacobson in the stomach, the lash producing a red mark.]

Shabazz: Let's try this again. What is your name?

Jacobson: Raymond!

[Shabazz whips Jacobsen in the stomach again, the lash producing another red mark.]

Shabazz: Alright. One more chance. I need a profession of faith here Toby. I need you to repeat after me... Barack Obama is my leader, and I am a second class citizen to him and all his people.

Jacobson: What?

Shabazz: Wrong answer Toby!

Jacobson: Raymond!

[Shabazz whips Jacobson in the stomach twice, then Carter releases on the submission hold pushing him into the turnbuckle. Shabazz charges towards Jacobson and drives him into the steel, then flips over Jacobson's head landing on the top turnbuckle.]

Hart: Damn...

Nelson: This looks like it's Second Story Drop time...

[Shabazz picks up Jacobson off the mat, then delivers the Second Story Drop. Shabazz jumps into the ring, and whips Jacobson a few more times on his back. Carter now enters the ring, and the two hold up the Pan African Flag as the crowd boos.]

Nelson: What brutality we have seen in the ring from these two guys against Raymond Jacobson. I'm sure this won't be the end of it...

Hart: But clearly, Shabazz and Carter have made their statement here tonight.

[Suddenly, “Crawling" by Linkin Park hits the P.A and Tony Awesome appears on the cWo-tron with a grin on his face.]

Awesome: Good evening gentemen! I just wanted to make one real quick announcement that doesn't just have to do with you but the rest of the organization.

[Jacobson is able to take this opportunity to roll out of the ring as Tony continues to speak.]

Awesome: As many of you know around this time of year usually begins our annual tournament, Lord of Punishment! Past winners have gone on to achieve great success. ASM won the U.S title during his tournament win and Chazz Mendel used his win last year as a chance to springboard him into the World title picture. Clearly this is a great opportunity for our roster... if they qualify! Which brings me to you two gentlemen.

[Raymond is on the rampway while JJ is in the ring.]

Awesome: It seems like you two have been butting heads with eachother for the last few months. Hell, this marks your second singles match, without mentioning you two getting into eachother's business over the U.S title. Well, I am giving you guys one more go around with eachother... AT WILL OF THE WARRIOR! This isn't just any match, this will be the first in a series of qualifiers for the Lord of Punishment tournament. The one of you that comes out on top will be that much closer to being crowned the Lord of Punishment and will be a member of the elite eight. I wish you both all the luck in the world!

[A grinning Tony Awesome disappears off the tron as Jacobson and JJ Carter are staring at each other from across the arena.]

Nelson: What an announcement? We will be getting our first taste of the Lord of Punishment tournament at Will of the Warrior as JJ Carter takes on Raymond Jacobson in a qualifier for the first round. This is gonna motivate them to beat each other even more!

Hart: More whippings!

Nelson: I’ve just been told that Tiffany Tolberg is standing by backstage… Tiffany?

[Tiffany Tolberg is standing next to Devon Dice backstage.]

Tiffany Tolberg: I'm here with Devon Dice, who makes his return to the ring after a one month layoff because of a knee injury. Devon, can you tell us what's going through your mind right now?

Devon Dice: I'm very excited, I can't wait to get out there and remind the fans why they cheered for me all these years.

Tolberg: You're making your return against a Chris Michaels who just defeated Nick Dangerous. Any thoughts?

Dice: Hot Shot and I go back to the beginning, we haven't squared off with each other in a while, but we usually bring the best out of each other when we do. The fans are going to get a treat tonight, we are going to shed some light on these dark times of the cWo. They won't have to worry about being insulted by the likes of Chandler Dalmon and ChED Walker. They are going to see an old school cWo match up, the way it's supposed to be.

Tolberg: Speaking of ChED Walker and Chandler Dalmon, you seem to have a lot of hostility towards them as of late. You lost the match that forced you into being a gentleman, yet you claim they brainwashed you.

Dice: I didn't fight the idea because I am a man of my word, but it felt good to be wanted. As time went on, I started to realize I was just being used, to help them in their game. They wanted strength in numbers, and I was just another number. During that time, I lost the respect of the fans, friends, and family. I apologize for that.

Tolberg: So you are taking responsibility for your actions, no longer blaming ChED Walker and Chandler Dalmon?

Dice: I am taking responsibility for my actions, but no way in hell are those two off the hook. They used me, and I don't like being someone's tool. I'll show them tonight why they should have appreciated me and why they should now fear me. But enough about them, tonight's about the fans. I'm dedicating my return to the fans.

[Dice walks out of the frame.]

Nelson: Welcome back! Fans, before the break we saw a huge announcement, as the Lord of Punishment…

[The lights suddenly dim quickly, throwing the entire arena into a questionable darkness]

Nelson: What’s this? What’s going on here?

Hart: I don’t like this, Joel – I’m afraid! Hold me!

[On the screen, a picture slowly flickers into focus. The familiar video of the South Vietnamese man shooting his prisoner in the head is stilled at that moment; footage is viewed of riots across the world, cars being overturned, shops being looted, buildings being burned; more footage rolls of border patrols shooting people as they try and hurry through the brush; a grainy night vision video of drug dealers being eliminated is also seen; finally, an atomic bomb explodes. As the video’s smoke begins to fade, a punching bag is seen in front of a brick wall.]

“It’s not easy, they say. Not easy to leave a lasting impression. It’s not easy for everybody to remember you in this business. I disagree. Everybody always remembers the one-hit wonders. But that’s not what I’m here to be, Honest.”

[The camera flickers constantly, leading to a grain view of the once clear brick wall]

“That footage you saw. That’s the footage of a thousand bad things that have happened in this world. A thousand bad things that continue to happen to this day, change or no change. But Honest, I’m not here to make ‘em stop. I’m not here to play the good guy. I’m not here to pat everybody on the back and let ‘em know that it was great to see ‘em. No – I’m here to collect my dues on those thousand bad things. Because a thousand and one bad things are about to happen in the cWo. They’ve already started these past two weeks. All on my watch, Honest.”

[Coming into focus now is a man and woman, both dressed neatly in suits; a skirt for the lady.]

“I get high on beating on other people. So does, Jenna here [motioning to the woman next to him] Doctors said I had an inferiority complex. Doctors say a lot of things to make you take the medicine though. All I know is that I’m good at it. And I got no reason to stop doing what I’m good at. Especially when it pays well. These past two weeks have just been the beginning of the storm that’s coming to the cWo – the storm that’s about to build up and threaten those last good folks that remain. Those last good folks that haven’t realized they’re on the wrong side just yet. Me and Jenna are gonna help ‘em find their true path. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, Honest.”

[He grins almost simultaneously with the woman, whose name has been revealed as Jenna.]

“Jenna’s The Reason. The Reason we’re both here right now. She wanted an opportunity. A time to show what we’re made of. Think we’ve left enough of a lasting one already? You think we’re gonna be those one-hit wonders? Think again. We’re here to stay, cWo. We’re here to say. The one thing I reckon you’ll never forget about me – and let this be a lesson to you all right now – is that I’m a man of my word. I tell it like it is, no curves – all straight talk. You want lies, you want someone to tell you what you want to hear – you find someone else to talk to. I’m not in that game. I tell the truth – and that’s why they call me Honest. Honest Griffin. Don’t wanna remember that, remember the Black Hand. That’s a sight you’ll never forget.”

[As the camera begins to fade, the man holds up his right hand, discolored from the rest of his Caucasian skin into a dark black, traveling from his fingertips down to his wrist, fitting like a glove over his hand. The lights in the arena turn back on, leaving Joel and Nelson rattled over what they just saw.]

Nelson: It seems our mystery man has a name, or at least an alias, the Black Hand!

Hart: What was wrong with his hand? Was that a glove?! This guy’s creepy!

Nelson: He’s also as dangerous as they get, already eliminating one cWo superstar, and trying to take out both Hawk and Mr. Rich last week!

Hart: Too many loose cannons around here, Joel. I don’t like it!

Nelson: Fans, it’s time for our next match!

DING DING DING

Dixon: The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first. From Portland, Oregon and weighing in at 155lbs.. here is CHASTITY MCGAVIN!

["Gold Dust Woman" by Hole begins to play as the lights in the arena dim and the rampway flashes between purple and yellow lights. When the vocals kick in, Chastity comes walking out with Mary-Joe Wolf trailing behind her holding a briefcase. The lights shift with the music as Mary-Joe points to her client. Chastity climbs up to the apron followed by Mary-Joe on the steel steps. Chastity steps over the top rope. She then lifts Mary-Joe from the apron, over the ropes to the mat. Chastity stops in the middle of the ring and raises her arm as Mary-Joe points to her muscles. Chastity then opens the ropes so Mary-Joe can leave.]

Dixon: And her opponent, from Waterbury Connecticut and weighing in at 120lbs.. here is MAAAAD MAAAADIE!

["For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica hits the P.A as Mad Maddie makes her way to the ring to a chorus of boos. She flips the fans the bird and continues her way to the ring. She hides out by the apron staring an enraged Chastity McGavin down.]

[Suddenly, "The Stroke" blasts as Mary-Joe immediately looks concerned and Chastity begins to grimace even more than she usually does. Mike Logan comes strutting out holding a blow up doll in each hand. The first one is a read head dressed in Chastity's wrestling gear and the second is a brunnette with glasses and a skirt. He blows a kiss to Chastity and then to Mary-Joe.]

Hart: It’s the Canadian Jiggalo! Yes!

Nelson: Great, it looks like he is on his way here!

Hart: I'm thinking Mary-Joe isn't going to let him pass.

[Mary-Joe screams at him as he smiles without paying her much mind. He sets the dolls down and begins to put on the headset.]

Mike Logan: Hello, boys! Mind if "The Loga-Conda" graces you all with his presence?

Hart: Not at all! You’re an inspiration to men everywhere!

Nelson: Mike Logan is getting comfortable as Mad Maddie looks very reluctant to get in the ring, but finally does so. The two girls are staring eachother down!

DING DING DING

Nelson: Maddie circling what seems to be a very uncomfortable Chastity McGavin. Maddie charges and Chastity throws her to the ropes. Maddie bounces off and gets hit with a brutal running STO! Chastity taking control early on in this match up as Maddie goes down.

Mike Logan: Just like Chastity and Mary-Joe are gonna go down for me very soon!

Nelson: Chastity pulls Maddie back up and knocks her back down with a release dragon suplex! It seems that Chastity is more inspired to cause pain tonight than usual. It could be her last couple of losses or Mike Logan being here.

Mike Logan: You're right, it's the presence of a real man compared to two hosers like the two of you.

Hart: Mary Joe used to be all over me, but I kicked her to the curb. I can’t be tied down.. you know how it is, right Mike?

Mike Logan: Hoser.

Nelson: Chastity grabs Maddie by the hair, Maddie begins to lay in punches to get away from the beast of a woman. Maddie tries to irish whip Chastity, but she refuses to move. Chastity McGavin pulls her back to her and hits her with a brutal western lariat! McGavin begins with the stomping on Maddie's chest as Mary-Joe cheers her on.

[Chastity looks towards the annnounce table and points to Maddie and starts kicking her in the gut again.]

Nelson: Chastity looks like she is sending a message to you Mike.

Mike Logan: Hey, like I told her last week, I like it rough!

Nelson: McGavin with the pinfall.

ONE

TWO

Nelson: A kick out from Mad Maddie. Chastity sits her up and hits an Enzu liberation uppercut on Maddie. McGavin follows up with a jumping double stamp onto the chest of Mad Maddie. Chastity puts her over shoulder and looks to be going for the V-20... but seems to be distracted.

Mike Logan: [singing] Sit on my FACE and tell me that you love me... I'll sit on your face and tell you that I love you. How I love to oralize... when I'm between your thighs... you blow me AWAY!

Hart: Did you just make that up on the spot?!

Nelson: I’m sure our censors are thrilled right now.

[Chastity looks towards Mike Logan as he grins wildly. On the outside, Mary-Joe is screaming at Chastity to finish her off.]

Nelson: Maddie manages to slip out of the hold due to Chastity being pre-occupied by Mike Logan. Maddie follows up with a hurricanrana take down. Chastity quickly back but Maddie manages to throw her in the middle of the ring with an arm drag! Chastity quickly back up again and goes for a bicycle kick but Maddie ducks it and hits a neckbreaker on McGavin. I'm actually quite impressed.

Hart: She’s trash, but she’s talented trash.

Mike Logan: [still singing] Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you, I'll sit on your face and then I'll love you truly. Life can be fine if we both sixty nine, If we sit on our faces, In all sorts of places, And play till we're blown away!

Nelson: Maddie grabs her by the hair and starts slamming McGavin's cranium onto the mat! She does it once, then twice and a third time. Maddie pulls her up by the hair again but Chastity hits her with a back elbow. McGavin spins around and lands a brutal looking cut throat neck breaker on Maddie.

[Logan then grabs the blow-up doll of Mary-Joe and starts humping it in full view of the camera, much to her horror.]

Mike Logan: Boys, that's just a sample of Mike Logan's vast knowledge of sexual positions! Take notes, Hart! Maybe next time you hook up with Mary-Joe, you won't strike out with her.

Hart: I dumped HER! I don’t strike out!

Nelson: Chastity immediately with the submission hold, the Portland Cloverleaf locked in. If Chastity can't pin her she is going to get her to tap.

Mike Logan: I can think of plenty of things to tap into right now, like tapping into Chastity's fine ass like a frat boy at an all-night keggar!

Hart: Woo! I hear ya!

Nelson: Mike Logan's comments aside, Maddie is in a real tough position here. Fortunately she gets a hold of the ropes. Then again, I'm not sure how fortunate she is because she has to stay in the ring with Chastity. Chastity pulls her back up but Maddie starts slapping her. Maddie breaks out of the hold and lands a dropkick to the right knee of Chastity McGavin. Maddie follows up with a spinning heel kick to her head. Chastity falls backwards. Maddie has been improving over the last few weeks, I do have to give her that.

Mike Logan: Wonder if she's improved in bed, too? We could always make this a four-way, you know...

Hart: He went there! I didn’t think he would.. but he did!!!

Nelson: Maddie follows up with a bulldog. She then pulls the Amazonian by the hair performs the curb stomp. Maddie quickly with the pinfall.

ONE

Nelson: Chastity McGavin kicks out quickly. Maddie, not wanting to give up the momentum she has gained, pulls her up and lands a knee lift! Mad Maddie off the ropes and goes for a headscissors take down. Chastity spins her legs around and tosses Maddie away from her. Maddie back up just in time to get hit with the Bicycle kick!

Mike Logan: Excuse me, boys... it's mating season and the "Loga-Conda" is hung like a jury.

Hart: Aww man, don’t go.. we were having so much fun.

[Mike Logan kindly puts the headset down and takes his blow up dolls to the ringside.]

Hart: You see how buddy buddy we were, Joel? Us ladies men speak the same language.

Nelson: Sure you do. Chastity McGavin with the hook of the leg!

ONE

TWO

Nelson: Kick out! But on the outside Mary-Joe is trying to block Mike Logan from going to the ring. In the ring, Chastity irish whips Maddie into the turnbuckle and follows up with a corner yakuza kick!

[Outside the ring, Logan grabs Mary-Joe by the chin and lands a kiss on her and then throws her down. He climbs up the steel steps as Chastity lays Maddie out with a spinebuster.]

Nelson: I don't like Mary-Joe at all, but that was just sick! She doesn't look like she enjoyed it at all!

Hart: She’s cold. Heartless. That’s why I hadda hit it and quit it!

What is he doing now?

[On the apron, he puts the Mary-Joe blow up doll towards his crotch and mock makes out with the Chastity blow up doll! Chastity turns around to see Logan implying oral sex with the Chastity doll before dry-humping the Mary-Joe one again.]

Nelson: Now that is just wrong! This man is clearly objectifying MacGavin, who is a virgin. I'm not Chastity's biggest fan but this is just cruel and awful to do to any woman... much less a virgin.

Hart: It’s not like she’s wearing a business suit in the ring or anything!

Nelson: What?

Hart: If she doesn’t want to be objectified, maybe she shouldn’t wear such a revealing outfit!

Nelson: It’s just her standard ring attire!

Hart: Looks a little tight to me.

[Chastity rushes up to Logan, grabs him by the hair and elbows him in the face making him drop the dolls. She slams her elbow into his face again and he falls backwards.]

Nelson: Chastity gets some measure of revenge, but it looks like she is going for more. But... she doesn't see Maddie sneak up from behind. That damn bitch Mad Maddie with a school boy out of nowhere.

ONE

TWO

Nelson: NO! Maddie is grabbing the tights!

THREE

Dixon: Here is your winner, Mad Maddie!

Nelson: And Mike Logan just cost Chastity McGavin a win, and she’s not happy!

Hart: Man, it’s been going rough for her. First the best of five and now this? She needs to concentrate. You know what’s good for concentration?

Nelson: Don’t say it…

Hart: I was gonna say Ritalin.

Nelson: Sure you were.

[Mike Logan backs down the ramp, still laughing and holding the blowup dolls as Mary-Joe screams at him in the ring and Chastity motions for him to come fight her.]

Nelson: As these tensions continue to flare, let’s send it back to Tiffany Tolberg, who’s standing by with a cWo legend!

[The camera cuts to the back where Tiffany Tolberg is standing with “HotShot” Chris Michaels]

Tolberg: I am here with “HotShot” Chris Michaels. Chris last week you were attacked by Muru. Everyone wants to know what is on your mind.

Michaels: Well Tiffany, as everyone is well aware of now, me and Muru go back a few years and up until last week we were pretty close friends. All I was trying to do was be the best friend I could and help him through what he is going through. Maybe I overstepped my bounds, but I just wanted to help. See he hasn’t been the same since Heretic has gotten through with him. I feel like the Muru I know died that day when Heretic tossed him to the pavement. Last week I think Muru was trying to send me a message and as you can see I got it loud and clear.

[He points to his forehead where the remnants of his cut are seen]

Michaels: But I don’t blame him. I blame the man who turned him into this. I blame Heretic.

[Muru then enters the picture]

Muru: When will you get in through your self absorbed head? Everything I have done is because I WANTED to. You don’t need to make excuses for me. If anything Heretic opened my eyes and let me see everything I have missing. As for last week that is just a taste of what I want to do to you Chris. It’s just to bad you don’t have the guts to step into the ring with me.

[To that the crowd boos]

Michaels: This isn’t about having the guts. I know first hand what it is like to go to war with a friend. It is not something I want to go through with you.

Muru: You don’t have much a choice Chris. This isn’t about you. This is what I want and this is what I am going to get. Will of the Warrior is just a little over a week away and you and I are going to have a match. Or are you going to continue to be selfish?

Michaels: Is that really what you want Moo? Do you really want to go one of one with “HotShot” Chris Michaels? I bet the fans would love to see it as well.

[The fans show their approval with a round of cheers]

Michaels: Sorry to disappoint you all. But it isn’t going to happen.

[The fans show their disappointment]

Michaels: Now if you don’t mind I have a match tonight.

[Michaels walks off leaving Muru and Tiffany Tolberg standing there]

Muru: Don’t worry. I will change his mind…

Nelson: Looks like Muru’s challenge for Michaels was shot down.

Hart: Michaels is just afraid of this new and improved Muru. Who can blame him? Michaels isn’t exactly a spring chicken.

Nelson: Neither is Muru. Tonight we will see how Michaels fairs against the returning Devon Dice!

[Mr. Rich and Evette are backstage. Mr. Rich is pacing back and forth]

Evette: Would you stop pacing back and forth? Your making me nervous!

Mr. Rich: How dare that big low class piece of garbage turn on me. I could have been his friend. I could have been his mentor. I could have had him serve and protect me!

Evette: he could have beena lot of use to all of us dear. I could used him tonight.

Mr. Rich: I got it! How about you and I challenge that big guy and his beast of a woman!

Evette: [ With a little fear] Me step in the ring with that shemale, you have got to be crazy. The woman's champ has class, and I am not risking my integrity as a rolemodel to step in the ring with that beast.

Mr. Rich: FINE! Be that way! I bet that no class Barrett Hick would like a piece.

Evette: He is not going to agree to that.

Mr. Rich: He will, or I will make him....I mean Tony Awesome will make him.

[Mr. Rich storms away]

Evette: Good...now I can concentrate on what is really at stake....Diamond and Lana!

[The camera backs up as Evette turns to the TV screen]

Nelson: We’re back! Folks, up next we have a real treat as two of cWo’s originals square off.

Hart: Don’t oversell it, Joel. It’s a cripple versus a washup.

Nelson: Dice isn’t crippled.

Hart: He had polio! You don’t just walk Polio off!

Nelson: He had a minor leg injury! And as for Hot Shot, you’ve been calling him a washup for years, but his success has continued!

Hart: So? He’s lucky. Same reason old people are the only ones to ever hit the jackpot at casinos.

Dixon: Introducing first, from Roanoke, Virgina, weighing in at 225 pounds. "Hot Shot" Chris Michaels!

[ Superstar" by Saliva hits the PA as the "HotShot" comes through the curtain. He walks slowly down the ramp with a big smile on his face. He takes the steps into the ring and mounts the second turnbuckle to give a one fist salute. ]

Nelson: And there is "Hot Shot" Chris Michaels, one of the best to ever step foot in the cWo ring.

Hart: Those days are long gone.

Nelson: Well he just defeated Nick Dangerous, he still has it.

Hart: It was a fluke!

Dixon: And his opponent, from Atlantic City, New Jersey weighing in at 220 pounds. Devon Dice!

["Electric Worry" by Clutch plays as Devon Dice makes his way out onto the stage. He pauses on the stage to admire the crowd who his cheering for him. He raises his arms and makes his way down the aisle and into the ring.]

Nelson: Devon Dice making his return tonight, regaining the love from the fans he once forgot about.

Hart: Which was the best thing he ever did, he's going to wind up wishing he was still with the WGL.

Nelson: He seems to be focused, lets see how he does in his return after missing a month.

Hart: A month that could've been spent learning technique from ChED Walker, he's in trouble.

DING DING DING

[Dice sticks his hand out and offers a handshake. Michaels accepts and both back up, then move forward and lock up.]

Nelson: A great show of respect, these two have a long history and this should be a great matchup.

Hart: A long history of putting me to sleep.

[Michaels wins control and backs Dice into the corner and delivers some chops to the chest.]

Nelson: Listen to the sound, you can hear that in the upper deck.

[Mchaels whips Dice across the ring into the other corner. Michaels charges Dice.]

Nelson: Dice ducks the splash and Michaels catches all turnbuckle in the sternum. Dice with some rights and lefts to the face.

Hart: He still seems to be pretty elusive, as he's always been. But that's only because he's a chicken. After awhile you get good at running away.

[Dice grabs Michaels and slams him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex.]

Nelson: Big belly to belly suplex by Dice, the cover.

ONE

TWO

Nelson: ...and a kickout by Mcihaels. Dice back to his feet, heading to the top rope.

Hart: He's not that smart, he shouldn't be up there.

[Michaels gets to his feet as Dice leaps off the top rope in position to deliver a double ax handle..]

Nelson: And Chris Michaels with a fist to the midsection, sending Dice tumbling over onto the mat.

Hart: Another gamble that doesn't pay off for Dice.

[Michaels drops an elbow across Dice's chest.]

Nelson: Michaels with a quick pin

ONE

TWO

Nelson: Dice kicks out, Michaels is wasting no time staying focused on Dice.

Hart: Must be difficult for a man of his age.

[Michaels lifts Dice up and delivers a scoop slam.]

Nelson: "Hot Shot" now heading to the top rope.

Hart: What's with these guys and the top rope?

[Michaels leaps and lands a flying leg drop.]

Nelson: BIG LEG DROP! This could be it.

ONE

TWO

Nelson: And Dice gets a shoulder up.

Hart: Thought that was gonna be it.

[Michaels gets up and lifts Dice's legs ready to apply a figure four leg lock.]

Nelson: And Michaels now has the figure four locked in, I don't know if Dice is going to be able to last, he's had problems with that knee.

Hart: At least Michaels is veteran enough to attack weakness.

Nelson: Dice is really trying to fight the pain, this one could be over anytime soon.

[Dice lays back on the Mat.]

ONE

TWO

Nelson: And Dice is up. He's trying to roll Michaels, but Michaels is showing great baJoel, he's got it locked in.

Hart: JUST TAP OUT ALREADY!

[The crowd begins to cheer for Dice.]

Nelson: And now the crowd getting behind Devon Dice, trying to give him the little more strength he needs to reverse this hold.

Hart: Oh the crowd never helps.

[Dice slowly starts to roll his body, Michaels trying to stop it.]

Nelson: REVERSED! DICE REVERSED IT! And Chris Michaels is the one feeling the pain.

[Michaels grabs the ropes and the referee breaks the hold. Michaels get so his feet quickly and stomps the face down, Dice who seems exhausted.]

Nelson: And Chris Michaels quickly to his feet and back on the offensive. That reversal took a lot of Dice. This month off is showing in his cardio.

Hart: ChED Walker doesn't allow himself to tire, Devon Dice wasn't under his wing long enough to learn that.

[Michaels brings Dice to his feet and whips him across the ring, Michaels turns and springboards off the middle rope.]

Nelson: And a big springboard plancha onto Devon Dice, the cover.

ONE

TWO

Nelson: And Dice gets a shoulder up.

Hart: Whoa! I thought he would quit already.

[Michaels gets to his feet and heads to the top rope. Facing the crowd Michaels awaits Dice to get to his feet. Dice gets to his feet and stumbles into the top rope.]

Nelson: Michaels loses his baJoel and is now straddling the top rope.

Hart: That is just painful!

[Dice grabs the top rope and begins to shake it up and down, bucking Michaels back into the ring.]

Nelson: And that bull has had enough of the "Hot Shot" on his back.

Hart: That's my favorite Devon Dice move.

[Dice grabs Michaels and whips him across the ropes and lands a big back body drop. Michaels to his feet charges Dice and he lands another back body drop.]

Nelson: Michaels hitting the mat hard, but is not slowing down gets back to his feet.

Hart: He needs to take a breather.

[Michaels charges Dice and is sent face first into the mat with a drop toe hold.]

Nelson: The crowd is really getting behind Dice, who looks more animated than ever.

Hart: Haha, because he belongs on a cartoon.

[Dice raising his arms getting the crowd pumped up. He awaits Michaels to get to his feet. Michaels gets up and goes for a clothesline, DIce ducks sets up for the Hard Eight.]

Nelson: This is going to be it. Here comes the Hard Eight! Nooo! Michaels nails a few elbows to the side of the head of Dice.

Hart: I don't know who to root for!

[Michaels breaks free from Dice, Michaels bounces off the ropes, ducks a Dice clothesline, stops short and delivers a super kick to Dice.]

Nelson: “Hot Shot” almost takes Dice’s head off! He might have found a way to turn things around. Michaels is now heading to the top rope.

Hart: AGAIN!?

Nelson: He has made a career by using his high flying abilities.

Hart: If he isn’t careful it could be his last.

[As Michaels is on the top rope something in the crowd seems to catch his eye. He does a double take and decides that his mind is playing tricks on him. He refocuses and leaps from the turnbuckle]

Nelson: Dice rolls out of the way!

Hart: Michaels took to much time. That is one high risk move that didn’t pay off.

Nelson: Dice and Michaels are both pulling themselves to their feet. Now the two men are exchanging blows. Michaels’ gets control and is looking to finish Dice off.

Hart: Why me?

Nelson: Exactly.

[Michaels looking for his version of the front Russian leg sweep. Dice counters and sends Michaels off the ropes. When “Hot Shot” bounces back Dice misses a clothesline. Michaels hit’s the opposite side ropes and comes back but this time gets caught by Dice]

Nelson: Chris Michaels was able to counter one move but now Dice has him. His supporters are cheering him on knowing what is coming.

Hart: HARD EIGHT! PAIN! PUNISHMENT! DEATH!

Nelson: Michaels has the air driven out of him and is flat on his back. Let’s see if Dice can take advantage.

[Devon Dice though tired and beaten works his way over to Michaels. He hooks the leg and the referee makes his count]

ONE

TWO

THREE!!!

Nelson: Devon Dice has done it! That was an impressive victory over Chris Michaels. Both men gave their all and I think the real winners might be the fans.

Hart: Don’t kid yourself Joel. Dice won and Michaels lost. Things are as simple as that. I for one am just glad it is over, although that has been one of my favorites. I got to see an idiot and a geezer beat the crap out of each other.

Dixon: The winner of this match Devon Dice!!!

[Dice is celebrating his return match victory as Michaels rolls out of the ring. As Michaels makes his way up the ramp he turns back towards the ring and begins to clap in approval of Dice]

Nelson: Michaels taking the lose well by showing his respect for Devon Dice.

[Dice claps back to Michaels.]

Nelson: And now Dice showing his respect for Michaels and clapping back. The crowd appreciates this much, they are giving both men a standing ovation!

Hart: Is that what they are doing? I thought they were just trying to make me sick.

[Suddenly Muru comes darting down the ramp, baseball bat in hand and hits Michaels with the butt of the bat, sending him toppling forward. He sits Michaels up and is looking to finish what he started last week]

Nelson: What is he doing out here? He accepted Michaels’ challenge for Will of the Warrior. He should be a sportsman and wait till then to settle things.

Hart: Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today?

Nelson: Looks like he won’t get his chance because Dice has left the ring and is making his way to the aid of Chris Michaels. Muru being a coward backs up the ramp staring the two men down. Dice helps Michaels to his feet.

Michaels: You’re a coward Moo!

Hart: Michaels seems a bit upset.

Nelson: Wouldn’t you be if you were attacked unexpectedly two weeks in a row?

Hart: Michaels brought it upon himself. People in his position always do!

[Backstage we see a disappointed Barrett Hawk as he slowly opens and closes the door of the office of Tony "Totally" Awesome. He shakes his head in disapproval when Tiffany Tolberg seizes the opportunity for a story.]

Tolberg: Mr. Hawk! What were you doing in Tony Awesome's office?

Hawk: To be quite honest I'm wishin' I hadn't gone in there.

Tolberg: What happened?

Hawk: Well from what I gather Mr. Rich has been doing some runnin' around tonight. See the one thing he and I have in common is that there's a monster under the cWo's bed that seems to be having a good time hurtin' people, specifically the two of us, so Mr. Rich has made me his insurance policy, issuing a challenge to that freak and his lady in a tag team match at the Pay Per View. So Ms. Tolberg, it looks like it's gonna be me and Mr. Rich against beauty and the beast.

Tolberg: You and Mr. Rich? What if he tags you in and that mysterious woman is tagged in?

Hawk: All I'm gonna have to do is everything I can to assure it's just him and me. I ain't hittin' no lady and I sure as all hell ain't gonna let Mr. Rich do any different.

[Barrett Hawk walks off as he once again shakes his head in disapproval of the match.]

Tolberg: Well there you have it fans, Barrett Hawk reluctantly tags with Mr. Rich at Will of a Warrior to take on the unknown man and woman who have been making a dominating presence as of late. Back to you, Joel!

Nelson: Thanks, Tiffany. Mr Rich and Barrett Hawk on the same team? Why would Tony Awesome…

[“Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight” begins to play and the area is almost defeaning in it’s boos]

Nelson: Well, here he comes… the man who unfortunately holds the world championship of this organization.

[The booing manages to get even louder as Heretic steps out from behind the entrance ramp. He looks around and smiles at the enraged crowd, then takes the blackened cWo world title off of his shoulder, puts it in his hand and drags it behind him as he comes to the ring. As he gets to the ring, he tosses the belt through the ropes, then climbs in and takes the mic from Donna Dixon.]

Heretic: My friends, tonight I’m here to address one person in particular. Over the last few weeks, we’ve learned a lot about our friend Josh Cantrell. We learned that he was an unloved son of a bastard father but this week, OH BOY THIS WEEK’S GONNA BE FUN!

[The crowd boos]

Nelson: What else? What else could there possibly be!

Heretic: At this time, my friends, lets WELCOME a VERY SPECIAL GUEST! PHANTASTY, GET OUT HERE!

Nelson: Phantasy?! Leave her alone!

Hart: He doesn’t know how to leave people alone.

Nelson: She’s been through enough already!

[“Violator Girl” begins to play and the crowd cheers as Phantasy steps out from behind the entrance ramp. She takes a step to the ring and looks at Heretic hesistantly.]

Heretic: Come on, honey… I DON’T BITE.

[She takes a step back, looking almost terrifed.]

Heretic: If I wanted to hurt you, I’da done it by now! NOW GET THE HELL DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!

[The crowd boos. Phantasy looks back to the entrance curtains as two large cWo security guards step out and immediately flank her. Heretic breaks out into laughter as they escort her down to the ring.]

Nelson: Good thinking by Phantasy, she doesn’t need to be alone with that lunatic.

Hart: I don’t know if two guys is enough.

[The security guards and Phantasy climb into the ring. Immediately the guards motion for Heretic to back away. ]

Heretic: Alishya.. can I call you Alishya?

[Phantasy mouths a profanity at him.]

Heretic: That’s not very ladylike, Alishya! Now Alishya, let’s take the boys and girls back on a little history trip, OK? Back in Japan, you and Josh Cantrell were… well, you were an item, right? RIGHT?

[Phantasy nods]

Heretic: So what happened? I mean, Joshua was a pretty big deal over there, wasn’t he? He was your daddy’s big draw, right? Why would he suddenly up and leave?

Phantasy: It just wouldn’t have worked.

Heretic: Oh no? I thought love overcomes everything! THE MOVIES LIED TO ME!

Phantasy: What do you want? What’s your point?

Heretic: Daddy never liked Joshua, did he? Well, Josh’s dad didn’t like him either.. and when he died, he had a bunch of interesting deathbed confessions, and one of them I thought you’d find very INTERESTING. ARE YOU READY?

Nelson: More information from Christiano Drago, no less.

Hart: Heretic got himself a prison snitch!

Heretic: You see, Phantasy.. YOU weren’t the problem. The reason Josh left Japan is because he took money from your dad, money he was paid to stop seeing you! HE SOLD YOU OUT!

Hart: What?! It just keeps getting worse for this guy..

Nelson: Even more of Cantrell’s dirty laundry’s been aired out here tonight…

[Phantasy looks stunned. She wipes her eye and tries to fight back her emotions.]

Heretic: How does that make you feel, Alishya? Both the men in your life treated you like a commodity! THEY BOUGHT AND SOLD YOU LIKE AN OBJECT!

[Phantasy turns her back on Heretic, walks to the corner and buries her head in her arms on the turnbuckle.]

Heretic: Aaaww, don’t cry Alishya, don’t cry! It’ll be OK! You’ll find someone out there that isn’t trying to MILK YOUR OLD MAN FOR ALL HE’S WORTH?

[The crowd suddenly erupts in cheers as Josh Cantrell runs out from behind the entrance ramp. He gets to ringside when suddenly the bodyguards motion for him to stay back. He paces the ringside area, then grabs a microphone.]

Josh Cantrell: I get it, Heretic. You wanna tear me down. You wanna destroy me and expose me to the world, right? That’s fine, but leave her out of it!

Heretic: Two months ago I asked you what was more important to you: love or money? WELL NOW I KNOW! NOW EVERYONE KNOWS.

Cantrell: Alishya.. that’s not the fully story. You have to be..

[Phantasy waves him off. Heretic laughs]

Heretic: She’s not listening to your lies anymore, Joshua!

Cantrell: Alright you win. You wanna see me go crazy? You wanna see how far I can go? I’ll show you… you and me at Will of the Warrior.

Heretic: Why should I give you another shot?!

Cantrell: Because I garauntee you, Heretic, I will take you to new levels of pain. I’ll finally do what someone’s been needing to do for a long, and make you suffer.

Heretic: Oh really?

Cantrell: I’ve got something in mind. Something I garauntee you’ve never done before.

Heretic: If that’s the case, I accept… but this better be good, Josh.

Cantrell: I won’t disappoint you.

[“The sound of madness” hits and the crowd cheers as Cantrell and Heretic stare each other down.]

Nelson: It’s official! Heretic vs. Cantrell 2 at Will of the Warrior!

Hart: What’s the stipulation? What does Cantrell have on his mind?

Nelson: That’s what everyone wants to know! Folks, we’ve got to take a quick commercial break… we’ll be right back!

Nelson: We’re back! We’ve had a huge announcement, folks.. we’ll be once again seeing Josh Cantrell try to take the cWo World Heavyweight Championship off of Heretic, but this time, it’s a match of Josh Cantrell’s choice!

Hart: And Cantrell promised Heretic that it would be unlike anything he’s ever experienced before! What could it be, Joel?

Nelson: Anything’s possible with these two. The question is, once again, will it be enough?

Hart: Something’s gotta give, right?

Nelson: We’ve been saying that for a while… but hopefully this time it’s true. And if we thought this one couldn’t get any more personal for Josh Cantrell, the last two weeks have proven us dead wrong.

Hart: Heretic may drive Cantrell TOO crazy!

Nelson: Speaking of titles, last week Jen Diamond and Lana Lexington both declared themselves contenders for the women’s title and next up, we’ll find out which one of them will be facing Evette and Will of The Warrior!

DING DING DING

Donna Dixon: The following match is set for one fall and is to decide the number one contender for the cWo Women’s Title!

[A strobe light flashes from the entrance way as the intro to Justice's "Genesis" hits. As the song kicks in, Lana Lexington bursts out from the entrance way jumping up and down, looking excited and ready for her match. She is welcomed by cheers from the fans and acknowledges them with a wave and smile as she makes her way to the ring.]

Donna Dixon: First, coming down the aisle from Boston, Massachusetts…LANA LEXINGTON!

Nelson: We’ve seen a bigger and bigger target painted on Evette’s back as she attracts more enemies every week it seems. Or at least she continues to raise the ire of Jen Diamond and Lana Lexington. And let’s face it, those are two women who know how to bring it in the squared circle!

Hart: Are those two paying you with sexual favors or something? Those two women are nothing next to the rich, classy, and elegant Evette! That’s why she is our queen, our women’s champion!

[Lana climbs on to the apron and faces the crowd with her back to the ropes. She outstretches her arms and does a backflip into the ring and lands in a pose with her feet crossed and her arms outstretched. The fans cheer as she flashes another smile as the music fades]

Nelson: Sounds more like you may be the one getting paid to be Evette’s official fan club, Robbie.

Hart: Poppycock!

["Physical" by NIN plays and the crowd’s reaction is mixed as Jen Diamond makes her way onto the entrance ramp. Walls of pyros shoot up from either side as the ramp as confidently strides to the ring.]

Donna Dixon: And her opponent, from Boca Raton, Florida…JEN DIAMOND!

[She climbs up onto the apron, climbs into the ring and raises her arms to the fans, bringing on another mixed reaction.]

DING DING DING

Nelson: There’s the bell as Lana Lexington and Jen Diamond begin to measure each other up! Diamond over powers in a lock up pushing Lana towards the corner! She kicks Lana right in the stomach and lifts her up! Suplex on Lana! Diamond tries to follow up with a leg drop but Lana Lexington avoids it!

Hart: That certainly wasn’t a good landing for her. Although we’ve seen Jen Diamond isn’t a woman that is easily hurt by a misstep.

Nelson: That’s really insightful of you, Robbie. I can’t believe it.

Hart: Well, I know if I said anything bad about her, she’d probably beat me to a pulp.

Nelson: You’ve had your fair share of women troubles, so I see where you’re coming from. Lana quickly back on her feet. She catches Jen Diamond off guard with a chick kick and throws her across the ring with a release arm drag! Lana comes running with a spinning heel kick which connects! Lana whips Jen into the opposite corner! Back handspring elbow does NOT connect though as Diamond ducks out of it! She retaliates with an elbow to Lana’s face! Snapmare takeover!

Hart: I wouldn’t call Lana very pretty, but she’ll be even far less pretty after that shot!

Nelson: Jen’s got Lana in a Fujiwara armbar now, trying to apply pressure and weaken Lana’s arm and neck. Lana gets a foot on the ropes though before Jen can really put the pain on. Lana climbs back to her feet and Diamond is right back there! She sends a knife-edged chop into Lana’s chest, knocking her silly into the ropes. Jen steps back and goes for a clothesline but Lana flips her up and over to the outside! These two women simply going at it back and forth, hungry for that title shot!

Hart: Yeah, but if they had any smarts, they should both know to keep this match in the ring.

Nelson: Lana bounces off the ropes and connects with a baseball slide that knocks Jen into the security railing! Referee Hector Garcia begins his count

ONE

TWO

Nelson: Both women now trying to get to their feet. Lana is up first and scoops up Jen Diamond! It looks like she wants to hit a shoulderbreaker here! Diamond counters though! Reverse DDT!

THREE

FOUR

Hart: That’s a great counter, but if she wants to make anything of it, she needs to get little Lexi back in the ring.

Nelson: It looks like she’s doing just that now, lifting Lana back up. Hold on one second, what’s Evette doing walking out here?

Hart: Looks like she just wants to keep a close eye on her potential opponent, if you ask me.

FIVE

SIX

Nelson: Well, Jen Diamond is looking none too pleased as she drops Lana stares down Evette!

[Evette stands there with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face as Jen Diamond stares her down. She tries to get close to Evette, but Lana grabs a hold of Jen’s foot. Evette laughs and begins to taunt Diamond. Jen tries to shake off Lana]

SEVEN

EIGHT

Nelson: Lana Lexington’s got a hold of Jen Diamond’s foot, seemingly trying to pull herself up and trying to keep Jen Diamond from getting back in the ring or anywhere else for that matter!

Hart: They’re not gonna make it!

NINE

TEN

DING DING DING

Nelson: It seems the referee has called this match! But what happens?

Donna Dixon: The referee has decided this match as a DOUBLE COUNTOUT!

Hart: I told you it wasn’t a good idea for them to go to the outside. Now neither of them gets a shot.

Nelson: I can’t believe this! You know Evette had this planned! She was just waiting for the right moment!

[We see Evette walking back up the ramp with a mischievous smirk on her face as Jen Diamond and Lana Lexington both look on from ringside confused at the result. The screen suddenly cuts away.]

[The camera pans backstage to a darkened room. Scars of time erode the walls as strips of plaster come to their inevitable, slowly being stripped from their once-home, with only Father Time himself to blame. A slickness covers the floor – a bulb shines brightly, leaving a lasting indent on the floor. From this avenue a voice is heard, not strong and vociferous, rather, raspy and weary from the many battles that have been fought]

Christian Roman: Chazz Mendel. A man who has it all, who has squandered it all, and who, inexorably, regained it all. A man who had to work himself from the bottom up? Hardly. A man who’s father, although coarse and unpleasant in nature, is the primary motivator behind a man who struggles with greatness.

[A long sigh is felt throughout the room]

Christian Roman: Chazz Mendel would lead you to believe that I am nothing more than a fanatic. A crazy. Someone who belongs in a mental institution. All because of my beliefs. My convictions. You don’t like them? Tough. You insult my intelligence. My religion. My spirituality. You laud your gold in my face as a trophy. A trophy that will soon enough belong to me.

[Another sigh is heard as heavy breathing follows]

Christian Roman: I didn’t come back to win championships. I came back to prove a point. To show the cWo – and you, for that matter now – that there was something wrong. There was something missing. I was steps away from securing the road to that idea when you interrupted. When you showed up, claiming that I knew nothing. That I was only out for myself. This time, I am.

[More heavy breathing is heard]

Christian Roman: I’ve defeated you on more than one occasion; I’ve taken beating after beating at the hands of yourself and your allies, but it’s all been naught. I’ve gotten up every single time. And every single time you’ve stood to the side, applauding my efforts while secretly waiting for the opportunity to strike once more. You never go away; you’re the disease that festers within this organization.

[A groan is heard as shifting weight occurs]

Christian Roman: Heretic may be the symbol of evil in this company, Chazz Mendel, but you – YOU – are the cancer that allows it to continue. Indifference is sometimes worse than the evil that is predicated and you have shown that time and time again, opportunity after opportunity that you have failed to prevent. That you have failed to grasp hold of. And day after day, week after week, month after month you parade out and laugh at my efforts of stemming the tide. I’ll do what it takes to put down Heretic once and for all; and now, I finally have realized that I’ll do what it takes to eliminate you as well. One way or another. The only way how is through the United States title – so be it. Come Will of a Warrior, I’ll continue on my crusade through the fires of hell, lighted by that gold around my waist. And that time, Chazz – nobody will stop me.

[The camera flickers as a cough is heard, effectively turning the screen a dull black before cutting back to Joel and Robbie.]

Nelson: More strong words from Christian Roman.

Hart: He called Chazz the cancer that’s killing cWo! Cancer, Joel!

Nelson: Well, those two are on a collision course!

Hart: Chazz is ready! Roman’s just a weed in his yard!

Nelson: I'm being told now that it's time for a very special interview.

Hart: Special interview huh?

Nelson: I say that of course in jest, I don't know what adjective is best for what we're about to see as John Pilchard spent the last week filiming an interview in Edmonton Alberta Canada, the hometown of Nick Dangerous, in what you could call an effort to up his worth in the organization.

Hart: Considering the last time John Pilchard was in the presence of Nick Dangerous he was being swung around in the fetal position.

Nelson: Be that as it may, let's have a look.

[The screen fades as we open up to a quick montage of various John Pilchard moments, face to face with Andrew Fiasco, irate interviews with Tiffany Tolberg and Jason Duran set to the tune of generic rock music as the header "John Pilchard Exclusive appears on the screen, ending on a shot of John Pilchard outside of Nick Dangerous' gym in Edmonton Alberta.]

Pilchard: We are less than two weeks away from a big time fight that cWo fans have been heavily anticipating for over a year when Sean Pason goes head to head against Nick Dangerous, a man who once referred to himself as "The" Nick Dangerous. Here in Edmonton, people who know the name Nick Dangerous get chills when they walk past the building behind me, when they think of the hell that those not named Nick Dangerous go through when they step through the front door of this establishment, well tonight I, John Pilchard will fearlessly step inside without hesitation, and interview not just a man, but a Weapon...

[The shot fades as we open up to John Pilchard sitting upright on a steel chair across from Nick Dangerous, wearing track pants and a black t-shirt, who unenthusiastically slinking back into his chair, looking down towards the ground as Pilchard looks a little nervous as he begins to speak.]

Pilchard: Mr. Dangerous just let me start by saying that it's good. Great. It's fantastic to see you again.

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: Okay, *clears throat* well first off I've been watching the news in Edmonton and I saw something about your gym that really caught my attention, and what I saw and heard was confirmed by the fact that you're alone in this gym tonight. Why don't you tell the fans why there are no students in this gym tonight?

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: Or...or why there haven't been any students in this gym for the past week and a half.

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: *Deep breath* well folks what happened was upset parents of some students deemed Nick unfit to teach the sport of wrestling, found his teaching strategies too extreme, too violent and as October twenty nine, him teaching students to wrestle in this building is deemed illegal. Do you think the ruling was fair, Nick?

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: C'mon Nick, you're killin' me here.

[Dangerous continues to be apathetic to Pilchard's cause as he sees to kick a piece of garbage from out of his viscinity.]

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: What's gotten into you?

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: Why've you been so quiet? Is there something you're ashamed of?

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: Is it because you lost to Johnny Serious at Slam in the Sand? Is it because you lost to Chris Michaels at Hell and Back?

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: What's gotten into you? How long are you gonna be like this until you decide to be normal? Huh?

Dangerous: ...

Pilchard: Damnit give me something to work with here!

[Pilchard gets up off his seat.]

Pilchard: We've been best friends for almost a decade Nick! Talk to me! Talk to the fans! Talk about Sean Pason, talk about anything!

Dangerous: ENOUGH.

[Dangerous gets fed up as he shocks Pilchard by getting up and aggressively slapping his chair away, he stands up as he towers over Pilchard and looks him in the eyes.]

Dangerous: I can kill Sean Pason with my bare hands, so beating him will come easy. Now you listen to me because I'm only going to say this once. I'm not in cWo to talk. I'm in the cWo to maim. To hurt. To dismantle. The Nick Dangerous you want to talk to tonight is dead. This is me, this is who I am and who I've always been. So if you want someone to talk to, go somewhere else, because I'm not looking for someone to talk to.

[John Pilchard takes a big gulp as he backs away from an concentrated looking Nick Dangerous, the scene fades out, the "John Pilchard Exclusive" graphic plays the interview out, transitioning to a camera shot of John Pilchard watching his interview on TV with his head in his hands as Joel Nelson and Robbie Hart are back.]

Hart: Some interview!

Nelson: Took some courage to go face to face with the man after their last encounter, but from the looks of things, whether you're Jason Duran, Tiffany Tolberg or even John Pilchard, Nick Dangerous is not the man to be asking questions.

[Cameras focus on cheering cWo fans.]

Hart: You're tellin' me! Pilchard's lucky to be alive!

Nelson: We’ll be back with our MAIN EVENT right after this!

Mic Benson: The following contest is our MAIN EVENT and it is set for one fall!

[The lights in the arena dim as only light in the middle of the ramp shows as "Princes of the Universe" by Queen screams over the P.A and a figure begins to elevate from beneath the rampway.]

Here we are, born to be kings

We're the princes of the universe

Here we belong, fighting to survive

In a world with the darkest powers

Benson: Introducing first, from Manhattan New York and weighing in at 240lbs, THE ChED!

[The song picks up as the figure hits ground level the lights go up and a smiling Chandler Edsel Dalmon, The ChED stands on the rampway as fireworks shoot out from the ceiling and hit the sides of the rampway around him. Then pyro shoots out from all sides of the cWo tron. Finally doves fly out.

Hey...

And here we are

We're the princes of the universe

Here we belong, fighting for survival

We've got to be the rulers of your world

[Chandler raises his arms in front of the cWo tron as the words "Champion of the People" flashes on it. He walks to each side of the walkway and says "your welcome" to his onlookers.]

Oh!

I am immortal

I have inside me blood of kings [Yeah, yeah!]

I have no rival

No man can be my equal

Take me to the future of new earth

[The ChED climbs up the steel steps and lifts his arm out to his fans as he is booed. He hops up onto the turnbuckle and raises his arms up to the air as fireworks shoot off from the rafters. He jumps into the middle of the ring.]

Born to be kings, princes of the universe

Fighting and free, got your world in my hand

I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand

We were born to be princes of the universe

No man could understand

My power is in my own hand

[Chandler goes on his knees and raises his arms out again with a wide smile on his face. He stands back up and then mouths the words "My pleasure" to his fans.]

Benson: And his opponent, from Charolette North Carolina and weighing in at 210lbs… SEEEAAAN PASON

[“Calm like a bomb” begins to play and the crowd cheers as Sean Pason methodically comes to the ring. He takes his time climbing up the steps, staring down ChED the entire time. He steps into the ropes and the two face off.]

DING DING DING

Nelson: And we’re underway with our main event!

Hart: Mr. MMA against the smartest man in the world!

Nelson: Smartest man in the… nevermind. Lockup, the two now jockeying for position. ChED takes advantage and locks in a headlock on Pason, Pason counters and with an elbow to the midsection but ChED is able to keep the headlock on Pason.

Hart: ChED is showing his great strength as he is able to withstand a cheap shot from Sean Pason.

Nelson: Cheap shot! That was clean hit Pason delivered on ChED. Pason is able to get out of the headlock by pushing ChED towards the rope, ChED springs off the ropes and delivers a shoulder block on Pason. ChED is sure proud of himself as he beings slightly celebrating to the crowd, he hasn’t even won the match yet.

Hart: ChED is just happy that he is showing how inferior Sean Pason is to him.

Nelson; ChED grabs Sean Pason and tries to deliver a suplex, but Sean Pason counters with a suplex of his own. Sean Pason grabs ChED and is beginning to attack the legs of ChED with low kick strikes. ChED looks to be in pain as he takes another thunderous kick to the leg. ChED fights back by delivering a forearm shot on Pason, ChED tries to whip Pason into the ropes, but Pason counters the whip with a whip of his own. Pason tries to deliver a back body drop on ChED, but ChED counters with a kick to the midsection of Sean Pason. ChED follows up with a thunderous clothesline on Sean Pason. Sean Pason falls to the mat as ChED goes for a quick cover.

Hart: ChED has the match won.

ONE

TWO

Nelson: Sean Pason kicks out of the pin as Ched looks upset that Pason kicked out. ChED delivers an elbow on Pason and once again goes of the cover.

ONE

T

Nelson: Sean Pason is able to quickly kick out of pin this time as ChED looks to be frustrated. ChED grabs Sean Pason and whips Sean Pason into the ropes. ChED is going for thunderous clothesline but Pason ducks the clothesline and springs off the opposite ropes nailing ChED with a lariat. ChED falls hard onto the mat. Sean Pason quickly gets on top of ChED and begins delivering hard shots to the face of Pason.

Hart: Sean Pason is deliberately nailing ChED with hard punches to the face, this isn’t MMa those closed fist punches should be illegal.

Nelson: Well I guess your kind of right Hart as Hector Garcia is warning Sean Pason about the closed fist punches.

Hart: I’m usually right about everything.

Nelson: Yeah sure you are. Pason doesn’t seem to care about Hector Garcia’s warning as he continues to warn Pason about the punches. ChED Wis doing everything he can to block the punches!

Hart: This is a smart strategy by Chandler.. I mean Dalmon.. I mean ChED.

Nelson: Smart? He’s getting pummeled!

Hart: Pason’ll get tired!

Nelson: Pason now gets back to his feet, now grabbing the leg of ChED and applying a kneebar! He pulls Dalmon into the middle of the ring, out of the reach of the ropes!

Hart: Come on, Chandler! Outthink him!

Nelson: Garcia now checking with Dalmon, this is a very painful move.

[The crowd begins to boo as Thaddeus Walker runs out from behind the entrance curtain carrying a bucket.]

Hart: The calvary’s here!

Nelson: It’s just one man!

Hart: Thaddeus is a one man calvary!

Nelson: Walker with that bucket, and now he’s sliding into the ring.

Thaddeus: UNHAND MY ASSOCIATE, NEGRO!

[Thaddeus throws the contents of the bucket, but is too far away and misses, instead covering ChED with a black goo. Garcia immediately calls for the bell, Pason releases the hold and slides out of the ring.]

Nelson: Garcia’s gonna throw this one out…

Hart: What is that stuff?

Nelson: Is that.. that’s oil! My God, this could be a biohazard!

Hart: Biohazard? That’s like $300 worth of oil! I could drive my H2 back to the hotel without having to stop!

Benson: You winner as a result of a disqualification… Sean Pason!

[Thaddeus tries to help ChED to his feet, but ChED pushes him away. Thaddeus offers his hand for a shake, but ChED moves away. Thaddeus looks shocked.]

Thaddeus: What gives, Mack?

Nelson: Does Thaddeus think the World Gentleman’s League still exists?

Hart: It does! It exists in the hearts of men!

[ChED looks down at the oil covering his body, then turns and gives Thaddeus a hard shove. Thaddeus immediately gets into his old timey boxing stance, and ChED motions for him to hit him.]

Hart: My heavens! Fisticuffs! The WGL has exploded!

[ChED throws and overhand right which staggers Thaddeus. The two then begin exchanging punches.]

Nelson: This has been a long time coming folks!

[Suddenly the crowd cheers as Devon Dice runs out from behind the entrance curtain.]

Nelson: It’s Dice!

Hart: What’s he doing here?! This is a incident between two gentlemen!

Nelson: He’s got a score to settle with both of them!

[Dice slides into the ring, and immediately takes both Thaddeus and ChED down with a double clothesline. Thaddeus hurries back to his feet and is met with a hiptoss then Dice executes a perfect dropkick that sends ChED back down to the mat. Thaddeus rolls out of the ring and hurries back down the ramp, ChEd rolls out of the ring and stands at ringside as Dice motions for them to come back.]

Nelson: Devon Dice has made is presence felt, and he’s looking to get even with these two!

Hart: A buffoon is challenging a gentleman and a scholar?! He’s lost his mind!

Nelson: Folks, we’re out of time! For Robbie Hart, I’m Joel Nelson! We’ll see you next week!

[The camera shows a splitscreen of all three men staring each other down as the show goes off the air.]
