BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!

*****-----*****

*****-----*****

Assault begins with the familiar sound of ‘Out of my Way’ by Seether. The fans have packed the Mississippi Coliseum, all on their feet for the upcoming show. The cameras scroll around as fireworks of all sizes and colors blast off. The camera then cuts to Gold and Farley signaling the start of the show.

GOLD: Hell yeah I am pumped up for this show, we are here in Jackson, Mississippi…And what a show we have for you folks tonight

FARLEY: Yeah, the arena is packed full of drunkards here tonight, my guess is that they are all friends of Buck Evans who is here tonight watching from the Sky Dome

(Shows Buck Evans with his wife Karen in the Box Office suit)

GOLD: Yeah, Buck must be having a great time up their, just like we will all have a great time watching tonight’s card. We have Krimzon Blaze against Dusty Davis…The Intercontinental Number one contender Brian Kirkland against maybe the scariest nastiest son of a bitch ever to step foot into CZW, Brian McNally

FARLEY: Yeah, I don’t like Brian’s chances their. We also have a six man tag match featuring the newest Tag Team Champions, making only their second appearance in the rig here in CZW, Idolized.

GOLD: But tonight it is all about the main event. It is all about the King of Combat tournament which is cutting through CZW like a frenzy Michael

FARLEY: Maybe Assault’s toughest Main Event yet, we have the new General Manager of Warzone, the Intercontinental Champion and the most dangerous man in CZW all in the same ring. This feud has been building up for weeks, many different dynamics towards the match and none bigger than what happened last week when Gregory Grantham turned on Jesse Montana

GOLD: And I am sure we will hear from our beloved General Manager tonight too on Testing the Waters

FARLEY: What do you mean? Mack Beaudin is the guest!

GOLD: Well who knows what will happen, that is all still to come, but first, triple threat action…

~ TRIPLE THREAT NON-TITLE MATCH ~ COREY JACKSON vs. MIKE KING vs. BIG DADDY BROWN

*****-----*****

*DING DING*

- As the match begins, Corey finally takes the rope off that was wrapped around his neck. Mike begins to step around the ring looking for an opening but it is Brown who makes the first move, hitting Mike with a forearm to the jaw, then another, before whipping him to the ropes as he comes back, Corey gets involved as he hits Mike with a belly-to-back-suplex. Corey then gets up and stares down Brown, but he has no fear as they both start to brawl, Corey getting the advantage as thrusts Brown back into the corer where he unleashes with several rights and lefts. Corey then jumps up using the second rope and kicks Brown right in the jaw, the sound of the impact echoing throughout the arena.

- Corey then whips him to the opposite corner but this time Mike gets involved as he runs in, hitting a Metallica Kick to Brown as he was on the run. Mike then picks him up as he starts laying lefts and rights to the body, then knees him in the gut so Brown goes down to his knees, Mike then runs off as does Corey, both men hitting a Shining Wizard, Brown absolutely demolished.

- Corey and Mike now stand off as Corey goes for a High Kick but Mike ducks, then runs to the ropes as he cartwheels back hitting Corey unexpectedly with an Enzuiguri. Corey gets a bit dazed by this as Mike then snaps him to the canvas with a quick and technically sound Tiger Suplex. Mike covers but only gets a one count as Brown was ready to break up the pin.

- Mike and Brown lock up as Brown powers Mike to the corner, then hits an elbow to the jaw, then another but Mike ducks as he reverses the situation. Mike climbs the ropes as he stands over Brow, hitting him with closed fists to the forehead, the crowd booing him as he does this. Mike hits seven shots to the head before Corey comes up behind him and lifts him up into an Electric Chair position. Brown then climbs to the top rope as the fans cheer loud. Brown measures Mike up…DIVING ENZUIGURI!

~ SINGLES MATCH ~ "#1 Draft Pick" MACK BEAUDIN vs. "The Remedy" JAVIN HUNTER

*****-----*****

Towers: “The following match is scheduled for one fall.”

‘Remedy’ by Seether blares over the speakers and out walks Javin Hunter. He is shirtless, with black elbow pads, trunks, and boots on. The man with such a large frame struts down to the ring, steps under the top rope and heads to the center of the ring, raising his arms up for his introduction.

Towers: “Making his debut match here in the CZW, from Weston, Vermont, he is the REMEDY…..Javin HUNTER!!!”

The crowd hardly pops as only the diehard CZW fans who are up to date on new wrestlers know who this man is. They eagerly wait for the arrival of his opponent.

“Man Up” by Sticky Fingaz blasts in the ears of the crowd and out steps the #1 Draft Pick with his valet, Zoe. He stops at the entranceway, with his hands on his hips, and beams a smile throughout the crowd. Boos echo throughout the Mississippi Coliseum. The two walk down the aisle, as Mack slides under the bottom rope, then holds the ropes open for Zoe to enter. Beaudin hops up on the ring post and raises his one arm in the air, enticing more boos from the crowd. He plants a big kiss on Zoe’s cheek and watches her exit the ring.

Towers: “And his opponent, accompanied by the Lovely Zoe, he is the former CZW Intercontinental Champion, he is the #1 Draft Pick, he is…MACK BEAUDIN!

The crowd boos louder as the bell rings and the match begins.

Javin Hunter wastes no time and he charges Mack and levels him with a spear. Hunter then leaps back to his feet and urges Beaudin to get up, almost mocking him. Mack seems a little caught off guard by the bum rush, but gets to his feet and grapples with Hunter. Javin underestimates the sheer strength of the #1 draft pick, as Mack whips Javin into the ropes and levels him with a big clothesline. A big elbow drop to the throat from Mack leaves “The Remedy” writhing on the mat, struggling to catch his breath. Mack stands up Hunter and lifts him high in the air, dropping with him a big gorilla press slam.

Mack then gets up on the turnbuckle and raises an arm to the crowd, who meets him with very unaffectionate boos. Mack then attempts a big leg drop from the top rope, but took just a little too much time showboating as Hunter rolls out of the way. Mack seems to be hurt, gripping his right knee tightly. Hunter takes advantage of this slip up and stomps on that right knee of Mack. Standing Beaudin up, Hunter delivers a mighty power bomb, but hangs on, picking Mack up to do it once again. Two crushing power bombs and The #1 Draft pick looks done for. Javin covers…

KICKOUT!

Mack barely got out of that pin, but does fling a shoulder over, kicking out successfully. He does not get up as fast as Javin, and it met with a huge forearm, backing Beaudin up into the corner. Javin is pumping his fist in the air and it looks like this could be it, his debut move, the ‘JH Experience.’ He picks up Mack and attempts the big electric chair drop, but WAIT! Mack counters! Mack drops out and behind Hunter, Javin spins around and WHAM!

~ FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH~ "The Featured Attraction" DUSTY DAVIS vs. "The Aerial Specialist" KRIMZON BLAZE

*****-----*****

‘Headstrong’ by Trapt floods the arena and the fans go nuts as The Aerial Specialist, Krimzon Blaze makes his way out to the ring. Blaze climbs each turnbuckle and acknowledges the crowd as they all chant ‘XTC!’

Moments later ‘Luv Addict’ by Family Force 5 hits the arena as ‘The Flagship Player’ Dusty Davis makes his way down the isle along side the lovely Ashley Valentine. The fans are all booing…Dusty taunting the fans as he is engaged in a stare down with Blaze. Dusty and Ashley get stand on the outside of the ring as they make out.

The bell rings and Blaze backs up and hits a suicide dive on Dusty and Ashley. Blaze picks Dusty up by his hair and throws him back into the ring. Blaze is standing on the outside of the ring apron…he grabs the ropes for leverage and attempts spring board leg drop but Ashley gets up and pulls Blaze down off the apron, smashing his chin into the ring apron. Dusty slides out of the ring, grabs Blaze and Irish whips him into the ring post. Dusty picks up Blaze and carries him over to the steel steps. Dusty then slams Blaze’s head into the steel steps. Dusty then picks Blaze back up and tries a pile driver on the steps but Blaze counters with a back flip. Dusty lands on the ground, hard. Blaze turns around on the steps and executes a moonsault on Dusty and goes for the pin…

KICK OUT!

Blaze picks up Dusty and Irish whips him into the guard rail, Blaze then backs up and charges after Dusty but Dusty bends down and back flips Blaze into the crowd. Dusty climbs over the security rail and the two exchange hay makers back and forth. Dusty gains the upper hand when he blocks Blaze’s last punch. Dusty hits Blaze with a crucial DDT on to the hard floor. Dusty then drags Blazes’ body over to an unsecured area, Blaze is still laid out cold from that DDT to the hard floor as Dusty sets up a table. Dusty picks up Blaze and lays him on the table then begins punching him several times…Dusty climbs up on the near platform, nearly 10 feet in the air as the fans boo loudly. Dusty acknowledges the crowd and screams loudly then…he jumps of the platform….SWANTON BOMB!!!!....10 feet from the ground, but Blaze moves out of the way just in time, sending Dusty crashing into the table from above. Dusty is writhing in pain. E.M.T.’s rush over to help Dusty as they put him on a stretcher and begin to wheel him up the ramp and out of the arena…..THIS MATCH IS OVER….BUT NO!!!! Blaze jumps up on the guard rail and amazingly runs across the top of the rail, HE NAILS DUSTY WITH a 450 SPLASH!!!!

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! The fans chants loudly ’HOLY SHIT!....HOLY SHIT!...HOLY SHIT!’

Both the men are laid out on the ramp….Blaze goes for the pin…

NO!!!!! HE KICKED OUT!!!!

Dusty, with whatever energy he had left in his body, amazingly kicks out of the pin. Dusty gets back to his feet, he is hurt bad as he walks out of the arena signaling that he has had enough…Dusty walks out of the curtains and to the back. Blaze follows him into the back parts of the arena as the camera crew and the referee follows. Blaze is walking through the arena halls, but Dusty is nowhere to be seen. Blaze then spots Dusty walking into the parking lot of the arena so Blaze follows him into the parking lot. Blaze then chases after Dusty when all of a sudden strange looking men, wearing blue jeans, and a hooded sweat shirt gets out of a random car, his hood is covering his face and he is wearing sun glasses. The unidentified man cuts Blaze off…then ….

THWACK!!! HE JUST NAILED BLAZE WITH A TIRE IRON!!!!

Dusty comes out of hiding behind a car….he picks Blaze up and….BAM!!! he nails Blaze with the DREAMERS DREAM(F-5). Dusty goes for the pin….

~ DIVA SINGLES MATCH ~ "The Dark Kiss" ALLYSON THORN vs. SERENA STARR

*****-----*****

TOWERS: "This next match is a Women's singles non-title match scheduled for one fall."

"'Every Time We Touch" by Cascada begins to play, as the crowd is so-so with the reaction. Serena Starr comes out, and comes to the ring. She is wearing a very nice yellow and blue outfit.

TOWERS: "Introducing first, hailing from Hollywood, California... SERENA STARR!"

"Sweet Sacrifice" by Evanescence begins to play

TOWERS: "And her opponent... she is the current reigning and defending CZW Queen of Combat... hailing from Sin City... ALLYSON THORN!" DING DING

GOLD: "Allyson's not feeling the love so much tonight here in Jackson, after her heinous attack on Sirena!"

FARLEY: "She was just proving she is the Queen here in the CZW, Ricky!"

They circle each other, and finally lock up. Allyson immediately kicks Serena in the gut.

GOLD: "And on top of that, Thorn is now fighting one of Sirena's relatives... wouldn't it be icing on the cake to defeat her?"

FARLEY: "Exactly. Allyson is my pick to be Queen of Combat for many more months to come."

Allyson nails Serena with a monkey flip, causing Serena to bounce upside down off of the ropes. Allyson then drops a leg drop across her throat and goes for the pin.

Thorn comes running in, but Serena gets a boot up!

GOLD: "Starr not giving up without a fight, I can tell you that!"

Thorn, dazed, is placed in the corner and chopped at the chest. The crowd lets out a collective "WOOO!"

CROWD: "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" GOLD: "What a vicious shot!"

FARLEY: "Looks like Starr is bleeding from the bottom lip now."

Thorn jumps down, and gets behind Starr. She positions her... and nails a Dragon suplex with a bridge!

Just then, a woman climbs over the guardrail and slides into the ring. Allyson Thorn quickly vacates the ring, with her belt in her hands. This unidentified woman looks out at Allyson, and then down at the fallen Serena. She picks her up.

THUD

GOLD: "That.. was a version of the Voodoo Slam! That means this must be.... MELISSA LOVELACE!!"

Lovelace looks over the fallen and lifeless Starr, with a sick smile on her face. The scene cuts to a commerical.

Ezra pulls Tyler to his feet and whips him. He runs in for a spear, but Tyler desperately leaps over him. He scrambles over and tags in Riley, who dropkicks Ezra in the knee. Ezra doesn’t move though. Riley runs in and nails an enzuiguri, dizzying the giant. Moore is itching for a tag. Riley sighs and tags him in.

Moore bounces off the ropes, blindly tagged out by Riley, but is met with a Spinebuster. Ezra pins, but the ref doesn’t count. Riley leaps over the top, dropping a leg on Ezra’s head. He then moves back, before landing a shining wizard on Ezra. Riley tags in Tyler, who climbs to the top. Jakob shakes the ropes though, causing Tyler to get crotched on the top.

Riley and Tyler celebrate as TM drag Timmons to the outside. They stand over him, laughing. Suddenly, both men are taken down by the flying blur known as Jason Moore.

TM eventually get the upperhand, nailing Moore with a double DDT onto the steel steps. Timmons is halfway up the ramp by now. TM begin laughing though. Timmons turns around, only to be destroyed by a slender figure, dressed head to toe in black. TM walk up the ramp and grab the unconscious Timmons. They laugh and drag him up the ramp. Once at the top of the ramp, Jakob lifts him onto his shoulders, while the masked figure climbs on Ezra’s shoulders. The figure jumps off, nailing Tim with a dropkick, sending him off Jakob’s shoulder, off the stage, through a conveniently placed table. Ezra, Jakob and their new friend stand at the top of the stage laughing as medics rush out and tend to both Timmons and Moore...

~ MAIN EVENT TRIPLE THREAT KoC SEMI FINALS ~ GREGORY GRANTHAM vs. MAYNARD O'TOOLE vs. THE JACKAL

*****-----*****

TOWERS: The following contest is a Triple Threat match to determine which superstar advances to the final of the King of Combat tournament, at Hatewave. And this ladies and gentlemen is Assault’s MAAAIIIIIIIIINN EVENT!!!

GOLD: There you have is Michael, all the hard work these men have put in, all the build up, all the fire and all the mind games have led up to this one moment, so much at stake for these three men, how do you think they can cope with the pressure tonight Michael?

FARLEY: Well I can assure you, these three men can cope, they are not just any other athlete, any other superstar, they are the best Assault has to offer, I just feel sorry for Thanatos who gained way into the Final last night on Warzone, well done sir!

GOLD: Yes, and I said it before, the mind games, to be honest Farley, my head hurts from all the mind games we have had during this build up

FARLEY: Well like I said Ricky, these are the best of the best, not just in the ring, but outside the ring also, they know exactly how to get into another’s head, they know each other’s weaknesses, they know their strengths, so really this match could come down to who exactly has out-smarted their opponents the most

GOLD: Well then you would surely have to give the advantage to the Most Intelligent man in CZW then right?

FARLEY: What a dumbass thing to say Ricky, it’s not about who has the greatest IQ you ass-clown, I meant who has had the most influence over the other, I mean think about it, we have heard from all three men, Maynard wants an alliance with Jackal, Gregory wants to apologise to Jackal, Jackal wants revenge on Gregory but hates Maynard, this Triple threat match has the makings to be the greatest match in CZW history, stop the Award ceremony guys because we have a new winner!

GOLD: So I guess we have that fiend Jesse Montana to thank also then right?

FARLEY: Do you have to be so sarcastic when you speak or did your mother just not feed you enough when you were young, he is your boss Ricky and as much as I can’t stand you sometimes, I really don’t want to have to call Assault on my own!

GOLD: Well I can feel the excitement in the arena here tonight, I mean we still have all the answers to come, Testing the Waters will be straight after this contest, but guys, sit back, relax, I think you are in for quite a show!

Loco by Coal Chamber floods the arena.

TOWERS: Making his way to the ring, he is from

29 seconds into the song the arena's lights dim down to darkness. As the song hits hard, the arena is filled with flashing red lights. O'Toole steps out from the curtain, stands at the top of the stage and arrogantly sticks his arms out to his sides as if to pose to the crowd with a smug grin on his face. The IC Title drapes over his left shoulder, O’Toole looking down at it, then across the fans in an arrogant smug manner. The fans fill the arena with "BOO'S". O'Toole slowly makes his way to the ring. O'Toole walks up the steps to the ring and steps over the top rope. He then walks to the middle of the ring and poses to the crowd as he spins around so everyone can get a good look. He climbs the closes turnbuckle and repeats his pose, but this time lifting his Title with his left hand.

TOWERS: Next, making his way to the ring, he hails from Orlando , Florida and weighs in at 235 lbs; he is the Submissions Specialist…Karl ‘THE JACKAL’ Jackson!

The lights go out and darkness fills the arena as only the dim glow of spotlights can be see scattered around the arena roof. After a moment of darkness and silence, the quiet tones of single guitar tones can be heard as the titantron explodes into life with images of Karl 'The Jackal' Jackson . Fans are kept waiting for a few moments as the images and guitar tomes continue to play. Suddenly a single explosion of sparkling red fireworks and the playing of 'Gold Metal' by trademarc announce the arrival of The Jackal to the stage area as he stands with eyes focused on the ring, bouncing from one foot to the other. He then walks slowly to the ring, not taking his eyes off the ring, his cold stare piercing a hole into the eyes of his opponent. As he reaches the ring he climbs the steps and climbs carefully through the middle and top rope. Once inside he mounts the second turnbuckle of the corner post which is above the steps he has just used to enter the ring. He performs a breaking action with his hands, indicating his intentions in the match he is about to have. He then descends off the turnbuckle and turns to re-establish the stare to his opponent, walking closer as if more than ready to engage in combat.

TOWERS: And finally, making his way to the ring, he hails from Beaumont , Texas and weighs in at 245 lbs; he is ‘The Graduate’ and General Manager of Warzone…Gregory GRANTHAM!

As the Graduate enters, the arena explodes with electricity for Grantham. Now, one of the most popular men on the roster, the fans cheer and chat his name. He walks out, sporting a new smile on his face, not one of cockiness but appreciation. The fireworks blast off as the lights dim, Grantham walking down the ramp as the fans lean over the rail just to touch him. Grantham greets a few of them with a smile still on his face. As he turns back around, the grin fades to that of pure determination. He climbs into the rig as all three men stare each other down. The fans clearly on the side of the Warzone General Manager. DING DING

As soon as he bell rings, the crowd explode making the atmosphere in the arena electrifying. None of the three men make any sign of an attack, all staring down one another, none of them even move as the fans chant ‘Grantham’ loudly.

GOLD: I have goose pimples, this match could explode from the get go

FARLEY: Well it seems all three men are slowly getting into this match, none have moved since the bell rang

Grantham suddenly moves as he starts dancing his way around the ring, Jackal now doing the same. Maynard leans back in the corner as to say to the other two, ‘why don’t you go and fight each other’, but this backfires on him as Grantham suddenly moves towards Maynard hitting him with a string right hand to the jaw. Maynard flops around in the corner as Gregory starts pounding away at him, several hard fists to the head as Maynard looks to be unable to defend himself, until…

JACKAL WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!

FARLEY: Ha, so he is on Maynard’s side then Ricky

GOLD: I wouldn’t be certain, I think Karl just saw an opportunity and took it, regardless of who he attacked

Grantham rolls around holding his neck after Jackal made the quick attack. Maynard then gets up from the corner, a huge smile on his face. The fans are hating this scene as Maynard extends his hand to Jackal, Karl not knowing what to make of it. Maynard mouths ‘lets work together to take Grantham out’, the fans clearly hearing it as they continue to boo. Jackal starts to move his hand towards Maynard as Maynard gets even happier. All of a sudden though…

RIGHT HAND TO MAYNARD!

Jackal explodes, hitting Maynard with several right hands, then one final strong one knocking him over the ropes and onto the outside, the fans love this as they cheer for Jackal who is now pumped up

GOLD: What were you saying Michael?

FARLEY: Yeah, looks like Jackal is dumber than I thought. If he had worked together in this match with Maynard, it would have been one on one rather than triple threat!

GOLD: Oh be serious, this is everyman for himself…Jackal knew he couldn’t trust Maynard, I mean he is an Upstart dammit…You don’t trust the Upstarts!

Jackal looks around as he lifts Gregory up, but gets caught with a knee to the gut, Gregory now Irish whips Jackal into the ropes as he comes back, Gregory grabbing him in a full nelson, the fans loving the battle between these two men. Jackal escapes locking in a hammerlock, Gregory escapes immediately though as he reverses, putting the same hammerlock on Jackson . Jackson escapes as both men stand off, the fans applauding them.

FARLEY: Your not going to get anywhere wrestling each other Ricky, I think you have to go in their and be ruthless, this is why I give Maynard my pick to win the match

GOLD: Yes, and your picks ‘always’ work out to be right don’t they Michael?

FARLEY: Don’t be sarcastic with me boy!

Both Jackal and Gregory lock up again, but the presence of O’Toole can be felt as he watches from the outside. Jackal locks his arms around Grantham’s waist as he drops him to the ground, now in a mounting position. Jackal just like an amateur wrestler starts rotating around Grantham to find a weakness, then grabs his head as he pulls back, trying to lock in a choke hold, but Grantham is too strong as he lifts him up, Jackal now on his back as he falls back into the corner, Karl forced to let go. Grantham then turns around and grabs Jackson …Belly to Belly Overhead!

GOLD: Great wrestling ability being shown by these two guys

FARLEY: Yeah, that was an impressive move by the Warzone General manager, but still trust me when I say, Maynard is watching, thinking on the outside as these two men tear each other apart

GOLD: Cowardly move by O’Toole

FARLEY: What you think as cowardly, I say is SMART!

Gregory gets up, his eyes now fixed on Maynard, but instead of going out to attack him, he wills him in to the ring, but O’Toole refuses as the crowd boo’s in disgust, the IC Champion strolling around the ring as Jackal comes up from behind on Grantham…School boy…No…Jackson turns it into a leg lock!

Grantham grits his teeth trying to put up with the pain, his leg being twisted at angles unimaginable. Maynard just stands there laughing as Grantham almost growls with anger, trying to pull himself to the ropes. Jackal starts sitting back and dropping back down again, pulling back sand forth ripping the kneecap of Grantham out of place. Maynard slowly crawls back into the ring as he measures up Jackson , dropping an elbow, crushing his windpipe, and then cowardly rolls back out of the ring, just to stop the submission but doesn’t want to fight.

Jackson and Gregory both get to their knees as they both set their sights on Maynard which worries the Upstart. He starts backing away, then tries to climb over the guardrail, but Jackal is already there and grabs him, so does Grantham as they both lift him up, then purposely plants him down so the rim of the guardrail so that his groin is exposed to the metal. Maynard pulls his mouth wide open as tears run down his cheeks. The fans love this as both Jackal and Gregory pull him off and throw him back into the ring.

Grantham gets the first right hand in as Maynard falls over to Jackson who gets a right hand of his own, Grantham then hits a European Uppercut which sends Maynard flying back towards Jackal as he lifts him up…Stalling Side Suplex.

Both men continue to punish Maynard as they stomp him down. Grantham then lifts him back up as Maynard tires to fight back but seems to weak, Grantham whips him to the ropes, as Maynard comes back Gregory hits a drop toe hold, but as Maynard falls he hits his head on the shin of Jackal, knocking him out instantly.

(replay of the accident)

The incident was clearly not meant to happen, Maynard’s head now busted open as the referee checks on him. Gregory looks a bit stunned at the sight, but Jackal just smiles, then looks at Gregory who is still a bit shocked. Jackal then tackles him down to the ground as he starts throwing rights and lefts at him, screaming the words ‘I still remember you son of a bitch’, Gregory trying to block but Jackal seems to be possessed. He then gets back up as Gregory makes his way up; Jackson though hits a chop block on the same leg he got the leg lock in. Jackal then locks in a Fujiwara Legbar as Grantham starts to shudder in pain, the fans going silent not knowing what to make of anything.

Jackal rips at the leg, knowing it is his opportunity to win the match, Maynard still is unconscious. Jackal puts as much pressure as he can into the hold, a sinister smile on his face as he tries to cripple the Graduate. Maynard meanwhile starts to show signs of being awake, as he starts rolling around holding his head, blood on his hands. Jackal starts to apply more and more pressure as Gregory tenses up, his ripped muscles being shown as he tenses, trying to keep himself in the match. Jackal though carries on ripping, bouncing back and forwards trying to dislodge the knee cap of Grantham.

Maynard now gets to his knees, still feeling dazed but the sight comes back to him. Grantham seems to have no where to go, not being able to escape the vicious hold. Jackal notices Maynard moving, now trying every last bit to make Gregory tap, but he doesn’t. Maynard jumps up…

MAYNARD WITH THE SAVE!

Jackal is forced to let go as he looks up to the heavens, wanting the win so badly. He looks at Maynard now who leans on the ropes, groggy after the incident. Jackal lunges at him from behind, trying to rip the cut on the top of his head open even more, but Maynard powers him off, then hits a thunderous Roundhouse Kick knocking the possessed Jackal back to the ground. Maynard wanders around, shaky on his feet as he picks up Jackson, chops to the chest, then a right hand, he throws him to the ropes and bends down foolishly as Jackson runs back, now grabbing Maynard in a Guillotine Chokehold, wrapping his legs around the waist just like a python.

The blood pours from the roof of Maynard’s head, he fades quickly as Jackal applies more pressure, the same sick face he showed while trying to take Grantham out. Maynard shows no sign of movement, almost out within a split second as the back of his neck and spine gets crushed in this hold. Jackson starts pulling, growling and licking his lips as he makes Maynard pass out, the referee telling him to let go. Jackson does eventually, but knowing the match is not over, he then looks to Grantham who is back on his feet barely, he lunges in but Grantham amazingly lifts Jackal up for the 4.0!!!!!!!

No…His leg gives way

Jackal now from behind hits anther chop block, relentlessly destroying Grantham’s left leg. Jackal then runs to the ropes as Grantham with one last bit of energy jumps up and grabs Jackal with a Power slam. All three men now down, all momentum now been stopped!

The fans chant for the Graduate, but it is Jackson who rises first. He climbs up using the ropes as leverage, and then looks up as he starts to slowly mount the turnbuckle. The fans look confused, as does everyone as Jackson is now on the top rope. Grantham and Maynard are up, barely as they stumble around, Jackson suddenly…

CANNONBALL DIVE OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!

Maynard pulls Grantham into the hit zone as Grantham gets ploughed down by the Jackal. Now Maynard looks for Jackson to rise which he does…FULL NESON SLAM!

Kickout!

Jackson gets a fairly easy shoulder up. Maynard lifts him back up as he whips him to the corner, then follows up with a running knee to the gut, Jackal crouching down feeling the effects of that. Maynard runs off to the ropes as he hits another knee to the side of the head. Maynard wipes the blood off his head once more, now all the blood is matted into his golden hair. Maynard lifts Jackson back up, then onto his shoulder looking for an Electric Chair drop, but Jackson rolls through with a Victory roll up, but again changes it and grabs the ANKLE OF MAYNARD!

Maynard quickly kicks Jackson off as fear strikes his face, now rolling out of the ring to take a break. Jackson looks over the ropes at him, saying some strong words, but Maynard just chuckles, then tells Jackal to look behind him, as Jackson turns around, Gregory is behind him as the fans cheer, Grantham hits a Spine buster!

Gregory grabs the legs of Jackal as he poses to the crowd, everyone surprised as he actually manages to lock in his version of the figure four…

THE PUNISHER!!!

The move is in fact locked in, Jackal taken by surprise as Maynard smiles, once again letting his opponents fight it out. The fans want Jackal to tap, but he doesn’t want to, he wants to win this match so badly, he crawls towards the ropes, but only moving inches at a time, with all his energy being drained. Jackal holds on though, now trying to turn the move over in which he nearly does, but Grantham is just too strong.

Maynard now slides into the ring, standing over the pair as he points at Jackal, laughing in his face, the fans are almost willing Jackal to escape now as Grantham frowns at O’Toole. Maynard starts raising his boot over the head of Jackal, punishing him, just annoying him as much as possible, but all of a sudden…

JACKAL LOCK JACKAL LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miraculously, Jackal manages to grab the ankle of Maynard while in the figure four, and from a precarious position, he manages to pull Maynard down and apply the Jackal Lock, not fully, but it seems effective as all three men are locked up in the middle of the ring, making the fans scream in delight as they take their pictures.

Jackal grits his teeth, but the more Gregory applies pressure, the more Jackal does too as Maynard certainly is not laughing any more, now virtually in tears as the blood flows fast and hard from the top of his head, the agony is unbearable. Jackal starts to manoeuvre himself, now rolling to one side as Gregory starts to lose momentum, as they teeter on the edge, Jackal does the unthinkable!!

JACKAL LOCK…BUT ALSO TURNED GRANTHAM OVER!!!!!!!!!

Jackal has two submissions locked in on two opponents, all joined together. The crowd actually start to chant for The Jackal as he rips and tears at both men. Maynard manages to pull not only himself but Jackal and Gregory as well as he edges nearer to the ropes, but Grantham starts to try and pull himself the other way as they go back to the centre of the ring, Jackal still with this unbelievable hold locked in.

Maynard sits up, trying to beat Jackal off him but to no effect, Grantham now trying to turn the hold back over the way it was before, but also to no effect. Both Gregory and Maynard now are in trouble, both in serious pain, the Submissions master has them both locked in perfectly. Grantham collapses down to the floor, now making no movement. Maynard though edges nearer and nearer to the ropes, showing great strength. The fans boo as Maynard reaches the bottom rope, Jackal having to let go of Maynard, but Grantham is still locked in.

The referee checks on Grantham who is passed out. Jackal yells at the ref to count him down as Jackal turns him back over, making a cover…

MAYNARD SAVES HIM!

Both Maynard and Grantham are feeling the effects from the long period locked into the holds by Jackson . The fans are chanting for Grantham and Jackson now, Jackson with the clear advantage at this point in time. Jackson is back up as he walks to Maynard, stomping on his injured ankle. Then he walks over to Grantham and stomps on his injured knee. Jackal goes back and forth until he picks up Maynard and whips him to the corner. He then whips Grantham into the same corner as Jackal runs in on both of them…

Grantham ducks though as Jackal clashes heads with O’Toole, Grantham picks Jackal up…AND MAYNARD AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GRANTHAM HITS A DOUBLE 4.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The crowd go wild; almost in shock that he had so much strength, but he collapses after the move was hit, not being able to get all of it anyway. Maynard seems out of it, after colliding heads with the Jackal, now bleeding worse than before. Jackal rolls around, holding his forehead, but he still seems to be in the game. Grantham now starts getting up, using the corner for support. The crowd will him on but the blood flow just isn’t right in his injured leg, Grantham unable to put any weight on it at all. But still, he carries on.

He walks over to Jackal as he lifts him up, then swings for a short-arm clothesline, but yet again The Jackal counters as he ducks, then lifts Grantham up hitting a Knee Breaker. Jackal then slowly walks up to Grantham, the fans booing him as he preys on his injured enemy. He grabs the leg, then drops down with a vicious elbow drop to the back of the knee. He gets back up, now pulling Grantham to the edge of the ring as he rolls out under the ropes, looking to attack Grantham over the apron. He pulls his leg down crashing it into the apron. Jackal gets back into the ring as he pulls Grantham to the centre. He then rolls him over as he locks in an STF!!

Maynard is straight up though as he drops an elbow on the back of Jackal’s head. He then picks him up as he out of no where goes for his finisher…

And gets it…

CELTIC CROSS!!!!!!

His leg gives way but still manages to connect with the move. Now, as the fans boo intensely, Maynard smirks as he looks down at Grantham. He suddenly dives upon him as he locks it in…

CELTIC CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After just being in an STF, but now in the worst of them all, Grantham feels the pain worse than ever. His leg gets bent sideways as his spine gets prised up to sickening angles.

Grantham screams, his screams even louder than the ones from before. Maynard grinds the hold in, pulling with all his strength, the definition of these two men can be seen perfectly as they both rip their veins from their skin, both trying their hardest. Jackal starts to stir as the fans cheer, knowing Grantham may still be in it yet. However, Jackal collapses back down again, still holding his head from earlier. Grantham has simply no where to go as Maynard rips back with all of his might. The tears trickle down Grantham’s cheeks. His mouth starts frothing. The pain is immense, the Celtic Clutch totally locked in!

Grantham with no where to go…

HE TAPS…HE TAPS…HE TAPS!!!

NO…JACKAL WITH THE SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Maynard now believes he has won, the referee yelling at him he hasn’t but he still celebrates, Jackal though from behind hits Maynard with a German Suplex, keeping the arms locked around the waist, he hit’s a second. The fans cheer as Jackal hit’s a third suplex, Maynard rolling away from danger as Jackal gets to his feet a screams, posing to the World and showing his frustration and passion along with it.

- Jackal picks up Grantham, looking to finish it but Grantham out of no where picks up Jackal…ABOVE HIS HEAD as Jackal lands on the top rope, the rope crushing his windpipe as he flops around the ring coughing, his throat seriously hurt. Grantham then turns around…

SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAYNARD HAS THE BELT…MAYNARD HAS THE BELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fans boo furiously, and then realizes Maynard has not used the IC Title belt, but the World Title belt instead. The man who stands next to him, smirking and cockily chewing on his minted gum…The CZW World Champion…Jesse Montana.

Maynard then covers the Graduate as Jesse poses!

PINFALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOWERS: The winner and advancing to the Final of King of Combat…MAYNARD O’TOOLE!

GOLD: NO…NO…DAMN Upstarts!!

FARLEY: It is called revenge Ricky, Grantham had that coming to him in my opinion

GOLD: This match should have been contested fairly, but yet again Jesse stuck his nose in…The bas…

FARLEY: WOAH WOAH Ricky, you better calm down, do you remember Montana v Daniels? Well that could be you!

GOLD: I remember Daniels winning actually, and all I am saying is that Montana had no business in that ring tonight

FARLEY: THAT RING IS HIS BUSINESS…HE OWNS IT!!!

GOLD: Whatever…I just wouldn’t want to be Montana when Jackal or Grantham is around!

Jesse and Maynard celebrate inside the ring. Medical staff run down to check on Jackal, the injury not serious but the impact obviously damaging his windpipe. One tries to get into the ring to help Grantham but Jesse stops him, the fans booing, cursing, throwing cans at Upstarts who stay inside the ring celebrating.

JESSE: Just one moment guys, I have one more piece of business to take care of…MAYNARD…GET HIM!!!

Maynard suddenly jumps on Grantham locking him into the Celtic Clutch once again. Grantham is dazed, but still screams in pain. Jesse then crawls under the ropes ad grabs a steel chair out from under the timekeeper. Jesse rolls back into the ring with the chair and places it over Grantham’s head, Maynard keeping him in place with the hold. Then as the fans boo and hiss, the medical staff beg for Jesse not to continue, Jesse Montana in a sick act of vengeance climbs the ropes, then jumps off as he dropkicks the face of Grantham with the chair placed over it…

GOLD: NO…DAMN…NO…WE NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesse gets back up as Maynard releases him. Jesse grabs the microphone, a sick smile on his face as the fans are silenced. Grantham makes no movements.

JESSE: NOW YOU CAN COME IN GUYS!

The medical staff flood the ring as they attend to Grantham, the scenes so sickening for most as the fans cover their eyes. Jesse and Maynard leave the ring with both Titles, both looking pleased with what they had done.

Winner is Maynard O’Toole after 32.22 via Pinfall

(CUTS TO COMMERCIAL)

GOLD: Welcome back folks. I am lost for words after what we just saw. Grantham, the new General Manager for Warzone just got brutally attacked by the General Manager of Assault, I am disgraced by these actions personally and am ashamed to be apart of Assault with this maniac in charge.

FARLEY: I don’t know what to say…I guess you don’t cross the boss!

GOLD: Bullshit, this is a joke. What was supposed to be maybe the greatest match in Assault history turned into a travesty of justice. A vicious mugging. Damn those Upstarts.

FARLEY: Well…As my colleague tries to calm down…I guess it is finally time for some answers folks…Testing the Waters, with Mack Beaudin…UP NEXT!

TESTING the WATERS - W/ Special Guest - Mack Beaudin

*****-----*****

The fans are teetering on the edge of their seats, anticipating THE biggest episode of Testing the Waters yet! The arena goes dark and a spotlight appears on stage. Michael Buffer walks out, microphone in hand. He looks around the packed arena as he begins his trademark introduction...

BUFFER: From the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, Mississippi, for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world, Ladies and Gentlemen...

A Testing the Waters graphic appears on the CZWtron...

BUFFER: Lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllet's get rrrrrrrrrrrrrrready to rumblllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle!!!!

“Our Revolution” by Halifax hits as the fans go nuts. The spotlight flies around the arena, before shining back on the stage, where Shawn Waters is standing. He smirks, looking around the arena, before holding his arms out. Fireworks begin blasting as Shawn heads down the ramp. He enters the ring which has been elaborately set-up. There are two comfortable looking chairs, a widescreen TV, a blue ring coating and props designed to look like waves. Shawn enters the ring and walks around the set, the fans cheering. He poses in the middle of the ring as fireworks go off from all four turnbuckles. The lights go back on as Shawn sits down in his chair.

WATERS: Welcome to the NEW Testing the Waters...new set...new introduction...yet still the same old hard-hitting entertainment you are used to! Before I introduce my guest...I’d just like to let you all know of an upcoming event! Please join me and my XTC friends...as we host...the CZW awards night...which will be held the night before Hatewave! Sponsored by CZWshop.com, the home of all your merchandise needs...featuring various guests such as the Whose Line cast...Lostprophets...and many more to be announced...To order tickets...call this number.

Shawn points to the bottom of the screen, where a number appears.

WATERS: Or buy them at CZWshop.com...where you can also get this lovely XTC ‘Phoenix’ shirt for only $19.99...

Shawn models the standard XTC ‘Green Phoenix’ shirt for the audience.

WATERS: Buy your tickets before they are all gone! Tickets go on sale.........NOW!

A mass of mobile phone are seen as fans begin ordering tickets for the XTC hosted CZW awards show! Shawn smirks.

WATERS: And now...it’s time for the real show to begin! Introducing my guest for this evening...successfully back from a shoulder injury...MACK BEAUDIN!

“Man Up” by Sticky Fingaz hits. Mack Beaudin and The Lovely Zoe walk out onto the stage. They soak up the applause and make their way to the ring. Shawn hugs both Mack and Zoe. After they all take their seats, Shawn begins speaking.

WATERS: Welcome back to CZW Mack.

MACK: Its good to be back Bro. thanks for that also.

WATERS: So...before we get down to business...how are you feeling?

MACK: I'm feeling much better Shawn. Surgery went well cant complain.

WATERS: And you Zoe?

ZOE: Great Shawn, I was excited to see my Baby back in action. WATERS: So...you won your return match last week against newcomer Corey Jackson...it must have felt great being back in the ring?

MACK: Bro you just dont know. I was waited for this for the last couple of months. The doctors gave me the clerance and i just ran with it.

WATERS: And earlier tonight you faced another newcomer, Javin Hunter, who appears to have aligned with Dusty Davis and the rest of his ‘posse’. Did he worry you at all?

MACK: Shawn did you ever known me to worry about the number games? It dont matter who Javin Hunter is with, Once he stepped into the ring with me thats just the ass whopping that he got. I'm never worried about The Posse either.

WATERS: Must be different, huh...me and Ashley broken up...

MACK: I heard bro sorry about that but he sometimes its for the better.

WATERS: So...I’m just going to go straight ahead and say it...what exactly happened on the night you were pushed? All I remember is looking for you with Zoe and Ash, then finding people crowded around you...do you have any idea who did it?

MACK: That’s the questions on everybody mind, I was going to say it last week but you saw what happened. But the Person that was crazy enough to take me out was somebody at that time I never even heard of. This piece of garbage felt that he wanted to make some sort of impact and felt it should be on my expense. But I did my investigation and searched high and low and spoken to the roster and the people behind the scenes. Well to let everybody know that the coward ass punk that pushed me down the stairs was…

The crowd hiss in anticipation

MACK: "The Jackal" Karl Jackson.

Shawn stares at Mack. He laughs as the fans look confused.

WATERS: Jackal? Are you f**king serious? Wow...I was convinced it was Maynard...I didn’t expect that at all...so how’d you find out? I watched the footage repeatedly...and I couldn’t make out anybody!

MACK: Yeah I know I was looking at the footage also but thanks to a janitor that happen to be on the floor above me, He let me know that he seen the Jackal running up the stairs but he hid in a storage closet so this idiot didn’t realize there was a witness to his deed.

WATERS: So...now you are back...what exactly are you aiming for? Going to try and get your Intercontinental title back? Or are you going to go bigger than that?

MACK: Like I said Shawn skies the limit, I'm not the same person from before so I’m actually looking to be the best in the CZW. My goal is to get that title around my waist once again. Shawn I like to take care of one issue at a time and that first issue is to see This Jackal and to let him know just who I am!

JUST THEN…The Jackal walks out from the back through the curtains, as though he was waiting to make this appearance. He has a slight limp, also holding his neck and throat after the hellacious battle he had just 20 minutes ago. The fans are unusually loud as they boo Jackal, chanting ‘Jackal Sucks’ and a few more chants which are too bad to air on TV. Jackal has an ice cold stare though as he walks down the ramp. Mack stares back, the two men filled with emotion. Shawn Waters stands back as he leans on the ropes. Jackal enters the ring, no music being played. The atmosphere is enormous, filled with hatred for the Jackal.

The Jackal approaches Shawn Waters and stares him straight in the face.

JACKAL: Shawn… lucky for you we haven’t crossed paths yet. I just want to say best of luck for your World Title match at Hatewave. But if I were you I would take that look off your face or you won’t be making it to Hatewave.

The Jackal then turns to Mack Beaudin, who is staring a hole straight through the Jackal, the crowd chanting for the Number One Draft Pick.

JACKAL: Mack, I’m not going to come out here and give you loads of crap excuses… or try and tell you that you’re mistaken.

The Jackal pauses and looks around at the many thousands of fans in attendance. The arena filled with a mixture of boos, hisses and negative chants of ‘Jackal sucks’ directed towards him. As Mack pulls back his right hand, his fist clenched, the Jackal puts his hands out to the side, as if to show no aggression.

JACKAL: It is me who was mistaken Mack, it is me who made a mistake. I want to try and offer you and these people some sort of explanation…

The Jackal drops his microphone to his side and looks at the floor…

JACKAL: It was a business decision. Montana and I made a deal… for me, a contract in CZW and a world title shot… for him, I dispose of Mack Beaudin. I didn’t know you Mack, it was nothing personal. I did what I had to do to get what I wanted. As you can see… I got my contract.

The fans boo loudly…

JACKAL: But I never got my title shot…Jesse like the coward that he broke the agreement we had…Now the opportunity goes to Shawn Waters…

The Jackal looks at Shawn, who smiles and nods his head, then back at Mack Beaudin.

JACKAL: Mack, I know I backed the wrong guy and for that I apologize. I know you have been out of action because of me and for that I apologize. But I will never apologize for doing what I thought was best to make it in this business. These fans know, and my past opponents know, that I will do whatever it takes to make it … even if it means stepping over the career of another man to do it!

Mack Beaudin walks up closer to the Jackal and stares him dead in the eyes. The Jackal stares back… sensing the anger and the hatred inside of him.

JACKAL: Mack, I understand you are mad. So I am going to offer you something…it’s a choice… a choice for you.

The fans silence as they listen intently to what the Jackal is about to offer.

JACKAL: Choice one is me and you put our differences aside and take on the real villain in this game… that being Jesse Montana. Together, Mack, we could tear him apart!

The Jackal smiles and holds out his hand to Mack Beaudin…

Mack looks down at his hand and then back at the Jackal

MACK: And what’s the second choice?

The Jackal’s smile drops and he stands up on slight tiptoes so that his eyes are almost together with Mack’s.

JACKAL: Or, you could step in the ring with me and tear me apart. But rest assured, if you choose this I will not hold back… I will bring everything I have. And I will make you tap out or pass out!!!

The fans cheer for that as they want Mack and Jackal to fight inside the ring. Shawn smiles as he knows his Testing the Waters is the greatest ever. Suddenly the atmosphere in the arena falls flat though as Jesse Montana, the Assault General Manager makes his way out.

‘JESSE SUCKS’ ‘FUCK JESSE’ ‘DIE JESSE’

The fans are passionate for their hatred towards the Sensation. Jesse makes no signal to acknowledge the crowd as he stares down into the ring.

JESSE: First of all…

Jesse is cut off by the high powered boos from the fans, not giving Jesse the space to talk.

JESSE: FIRST OF ALL…SHUT YOUR DAMN TRAPS!

Jesse starts to look over the crowd who are all on their feet as they boo the Sensation. Some even try to throw items at him, but none make it far enough to hit him.

JESSE: Security…GET THAT GUY OUTTA HERE!

Jesse makes sure security throw out the man whop nearly hit him with the can. He then turns his attentions back into the ring. The three men inside, all filled with hatred towards Jesse, hated with a passion, Jesse looks deeply at them as the fans continue their boos.

JESSE: Yeah…It is all true…Jesse was behind the whole thing all along. But Mack…You were slipping, you were making Upstarts look like jokes…You lost your damn title due to interference by a retard, I just couldn’t let this happen Mack…So I did what I had to do…I TOOK YOU OUT!

The fans boo him even more, chanting for Mack Beaudin as the two men stare at each other, Jesse not walking to the ring though to face him like a man.

JESSE: Jackal did my dirty work…He was nothing special to me…I never was going to give him Title shot…Oh yeah Jackal…Sorry on your loss by the way!

Jackal runs towards the ropes as he signals that he will snap Jesse in half. The fans boo for Jesse and even cheer for Jackal as they want him to get the Sensation. Jesse just smiles in his usual cocky way.

JESSE: And if any of you try anything funny, I will have you FIRED from my show!

‘Jesse Sucks…Jesse sucks’

JESSE: Now…I happen to have an idea for you two. Seeing as I would love nothing more than to see you two beat the hell out of each other, I will make that match…For next week…At HATEWAVE!

The fans cheer for Mack as they chant his name. Jackal and Mack faced off again.

JESSE: It will be a…

Jesse looks at Mack and smiles

JESSE: …STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN MATCH!

Mack grits his teeth as he stares down his boss.

JESSE: Rules are simple. Surrounding the ring will be four sides of steel steps. The winner must climb to the top. However, in order to climb to the top, you must first get one pinfall or one submission on your opponent, then you are eligible to climb. First man to the top…Wins. Oh and Mack…Try not to FALL down the STEPS again…RIGHT BACK DOWN TO HELL!

Jesse laughs cockily as the fans boo in disgust for him. Mack and Jackal both stare down each other as they now are opponents for Hatewave.

JESSE: And Shawn…No…I haven’t forgot about you boy. We shall meet at Hatewave. But that will be the last time we meet. I have in the back, a contract which states…If you lose this match at Hatewave Shawn, their will be no other…If you lose to me…You get no more Title shots while the Sensation is World Champion. So good luck Waters…Because after you lose this match…YOU ARE FINISHED!

The fans boo and also chant for their beloved Australian idol. All three men in the ring stare down Jesse Montana as he drops the mic and leaves the arena, leaving the whole World in shock.

GOLD: Well what amazing revelations we have had tonight…Some of the greatest matches too…And of course the influence of the controversial man…Jesse Montana

FARLEY: So Jackal pushed Mack down the stairs, he says he did it for the contract and the deal, Montana screwed Jackal out of the deal and also screwed his best friend in the process.
