The stage is a large demonic structure, covered with broken cables emitting spurts of electrical current. It is hexagon shaped, with the bottom quarter opening up when a wrestler makes their entrance. After the intro music (Am I Evil, Metallica), the bell signifying the first match is rung, and Huge Greenburger makes his way to the ring to Hulk’s Theme. He waits meekly in the ring, and is soon followed by Flake, Spitfire and the Extreme Champion, Xander Rivers, who all look set and ready for action.
MATCH: X Rivers VS Flake VS Spitfire VS Huge Greenburger
(15 Minute Time Limit – Winner is person with last fall on the target – as champion, Rivers is the target to begin with, then if someone pins him, they are the target.)
The match gets off to a quick start, with Spitfire moving straight after Flake, with Rivers making a beeline for Greenburger. Spitfire performs a running dropkick on Flake as Rivers hits Greenburger with a vicious clothesline. Rivers jumps to the outside, and immediately searches beneath the ring for a weapon. Meanwhile, Spitfire continues to pound on Flake, and eventually has him set up on the mat. He leaps to the top turnbuckle, and executes a massive spiraling moonsault, winding Flake and taking himself out of action momentarily. Rivers re-enters the ring carrying a steel chair, and prepares to strike Greenburger with it. However, out of the corner of his eye he sees Flake approach him from behind, swivels and hits Flake between the eyes, laying the German out. Greenburger falls forward, accidentally knocking Rivers down. His Hulk Hogan bandanna gets in his eyes, and he sits on the unfortunate Rivers, hitting the “Blind Stagger,” gaining a shocking 3 count on the champion (3 mins 28 seconds)! Greenburger stands, not realising that he is now the target, and falls into a corner, as Spitfire gradually makes it back to his feet. He once again goes straight for Flake, hitting a flipping splash followed by several punches. Spitfire moves his attention to Rivers, and legdrops the Californian. He thinks about attempting a cover, but instead chooses to leap to the top turnbuckle once more, and executes the 450 Backflip Elbow Drop, once again momentarily taking himself out of action. Flake groggily gets to his feet and surveys the carnage around him. He leaps on Rivers for the cover, but is told by the referee that Greenburger is the target. Flake is unsure what to do, and walks over to the near unconscious Greenburger. Shrugging, he slowly lifts Greenburger, and rolls him up for the pin with a Schoolboy, gaining the pinfall (5 mins 13 seconds). He leaps to his feet, and salutes the crowd, before showboating for a few moments. He turns his attention to Rivers who, like Spitfire, is once again returning to his feet. He hits Rivers with a DDT onto the steel chair, and hits Spitfire with a clothesline. Flake slides under the bottom rope and searches for more weapons. Rivers follows, and hits Flake over the head with a trashcan, before covering him and getting the 3 count (6 mins 50 seconds), becoming the target for the second time in the match. Spitfire also exits the ring and comes after Rivers, with the two slugging it out up the ramp and towards the stage. Greenburger stands up in the ring, then promptly collapses. Rivers takes advantage of Spitfire’s lack of ring experience by avoiding Spitfire’s punching attack, and throwing him into the stage structure. However, it barely fazes the hardy Spitfire, who runs at Rivers and hits a spear. Once more, instead of attempting a cover, he decides to climb part of the stage, and turns to face the prone form of Rivers. He looks at the crowd, who go wild with anticipation, before throwing himself off the stage structure and hitting Rivers full on with a huge flipping splash that once more takes Spitfire out of the contest for a few moments. As Spitfire rolls to one side and Rivers lies on the stage, completely out of it, Flake runs up and attempts a pinfall, yet somehow Rivers manages to kick out. Flake tries again, and is frustrated by Rivers determination. He puts the Stein-Lock on the near unconscious Rivers, in an attempt at making the Extreme Champion tap out. Just as the ref is to award the fall to Flake, Spitfire jumps onto him from behind and hits a diving bulldog, firmly planting Flake’s face into the unforgiving stage. He disappears behind the entrance curtain, and emerges with a ladder. He positions both Rivers and Flake next to each other, then places the ladder across both their chests. He climbs the stage structure once again, and splashes the ladder, causing a massive roar from the audience. Flake receives the brunt of the impact. As the clock begins ticking down the last three minutes, Rivers manages to get to his feet, and starts walking backstage. Spitfire has also made his way back to a vertical base, and stops the Extreme Champion from leaving without a fight. Both start slugging it out, and the clock shows one minute remaining. Spitfire jumps onto the stage structure and leaps off it, attempting a Hurricanrana. Rivers blocks the move, resulting in a huge powerbomb as the clock runs out. Rivers falls to his knees, totally exhausted, but still Extreme Champion. The crowd show their appreciation for all four competitors as they slowly exit to the backstage area, one by one. Spitfire is the last to leave, waving to his fans. He turns to leave, but is stopped by Vayne, who hits the young high-flyer across the head with a steel chair, laying him out and busting him open. The crowd boo, and Vayne hits Spitfire with a couple more shots to the back before exiting.
EMT’s rush out to help Spitfire to the back as Ax’s music hits the speakers, with the man himself emerging from the back soon after. The referee ensures that Ax does not have his kendo stick in the ring as Reaper makes his entrance, walking with purpose towards the ring.
MATCH: AX VS Reaper VS Adam Phillips
Ax doesn’t wait for Phillips to enter, attacking Reaper as he steps between the ropes. The bell sounds, and the two start a slugfest as I Just Wanna Be God hits the speakers. Phillips takes his time getting to the ring, allowing the other two men to beat each other up a bit first. He stands outside the ring as Ax hits Reaper with a flying elbow, followed by a clothesline that knocks Reaper to the ground. Phillips jumps in, and attacks Ax from behind, locking in a version of the Million Dollar Dream. Ax squirms, but can’t break free. Reaper comes back, punching the trapped Ax several times before turning his attention to Phillips, clubbing him across the forehead. Reaper throws Ax out of the ring, and places Phillips in a chicken-wing hold, but Phillips manages to twist out of the move and put the same hold on Reaper, who backs into the corner and rams Phillips into it, with Phillips breaking the hold. Ax climbs back into the ring and attacks Reaper with a face-buster, before turning his attention to Phillips, who starts slugging it out with Ax. Reaper gets up and joins in, and a brawl starts between the three. Ax knocks Phillips down and hits the Ax Cutter on him. He showboats momentarily, but then Reaper attacks Ax and quickly hits the Blood Scythe. Phillips groggily stands up, superkicks Reaper in the jaw, and climbs to the top turnbuckle. He leaps off, and hits Reaper with the Money Maker, but is unable to get the pin. All three lie in states of semi-consciousness. Ax is the first to his feet, and goes for the cover on Reaper, but Phillips breaks the count. They start slugging it out as Reaper gets to his feet, who joins in, yet concentrates his attack on Ax and not Phillips. Both Phillips and Reaper work on Ax, who tries to fight back, but fails. Reaper lifts him up and hits the Blood Scythe. Reaper and Phillips look at each other for a few moments, not fighting, before Phillips covers Ax and gets the 3 count. As his music hits, Phillips stands eye to eye with Reaper. He smiles, then quickly exits the ringside area. Reaper issues a few stiff kicks to the fallen Ax before he too exits.
The crowd are unsure how to react as Ax exits the ringside area. Symphony of Destruction hits the speakers as the Main Event gets underway. The Real Deal makes his way to the ring, looking troubled. The TWF Champion makes his way to the ring as Down With The Sickness plays through the arena. He is focused on the task at hand, but never forgetting that he’s there to show off his body to those in attendance.
MATCH: Vayne VS Real Deal (TWF Championship)
Both men start off evenly, but it becomes apparent that Deal is not 100% focused on the match. Vayne gets the upper hand, and places Deal in a headlock, which Deal quickly escapes from, and places Vayne in the same hold, who also escapes easily. Both men stare at each other for a moment, before locking up, with Vayne once more gaining control. Deal throws him off, and attempts a clothesline which Vayne ducks, then hits Vayne with a back elbow on the return. Deal attempts the quick cover, but Vayne kicks out easily. Deal’s offence is not as effective as usual, and as a result Vayne manages to stay in control for most of the match. Deal manages to muster some spirit in his attack and distracts the ref long enough to low blow Vayne, getting a close 2 count. Vayne recovers quickly, and hits Deal with a DDT and a Half Boston Crab, a move that leaves Deal screaming in pain. He reaches the ropes, refusing to tap, and Vayne is forced to break the hold. Deal limps around slightly, and Vayne hits several knee blocks that further injure Deal’s leg. Deal is unable to make a suitable comeback from this, and makes a serious error attempting a figure-four leg-lock on the champion, a move that does as much damage to Deal as to Vayne. Deal breaks the hold, and forgets about Vayne for a moment, concentrating on getting some feeling back in his leg. Vayne sees the opportunity to put Deal away, and climbs the turnbuckle. Deal gets up and ends up straight back down as he is hit by the DeepVayne, with Vayne getting the 1,2,3. He celebrates by kissing his title belt and waving it at the fans, who aren’t appreciative of the TWF Champion. He leaves ringside and heads backstage. Just as Deal regains his footing and starts moving to the backstage area, the floor of the stage opens up, and Adam Phillips emerges from beneath, along with a drum kit and guitar amplifiers. Deal looks at his nemesis with hatred, as Phillips begins to speak.
“You know Deal, it’s a shame you lost tonight, because to be honest, things ain’t gonna be getting any better. Next week on Fuel, I’m taking your ass to court!”
Deal can’t believe this news, and kicks the barricade in frustration as Alice Cooper appears and plays I Just Wanna Be God as Architecture of Aggression fades.
