Troy rolls back into the ring. He swings the chair at BB, but Blaze ducks. The referee tries to step in.

-=QUEEN OF COMBAT CHAMPIONSHIP!=-
ULTRAVIOLENT RULES!
"The First Lady of Wrestling" Kandi Washington(c) vs. Miss Michelle vs Laura

***

JESSICA TOWERS: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is for the Queen of Combat Championship and it is an ULTRAVIOLENT rules match. Introducing first, she is the current Queen of Combat Champion, being accompanied by her bodyguard Ice, standing in at 5 feet 2 inches, weighing in at one hundred and ten pounds, and billed from Sin City… Kandi Washington!!”

(“Get Naked” with still shots of Kandi Washington’s wrestling career on the big screen and the fans booing as loudly as they can comes strutting out from the back with her Queen of Combat Championship securely fasten around her shoulder. She is wearing a black and white corset top, black booty shorts, black leather knee-high heeled boots as she’s being escorted by Ice, wearing a black and chain two-piece leather outfit. She has her arms folded across her chest as Kandi Washington does a brief little grind in the middle of the stage. She continues to strut down the ramp as Sydney Vicious irately watches from inside the ring. She makes her way down to the ring apron and up the steel stairs as she walks along the ring apron. Kandi ducks down and enters the ring by going under the second rope as she stands back up and slides her title off her shoulder. She raises it in the air as the fans continue to boo. She turns to Sydney Vicious and some words are being exchanged as Sydney Vicious points to her referee halter top.)

JARRED DANIELS: “Some ill words from Sydney and Kandi. How I would dream to see this match one day soon.”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “If Kandi loses, she’ll use that as a loophole no doubt.”

JARRED DANIELS: “Could that be her plan B?”

JESSICA TOWERS: “And introducing her opponent, representing the Revolution, standing in a5 feet 7 inches, weighing in at one hundred and fifteen pounds, and billed from Boston, Massachusetts… Miss Michelle!!”

(“The Queen of the Reich” starts to play and a mixed response from the crowd as a few screen shots play on the CZW’s big screen. Miss Michelle bounces out from the back and pauses at the top of the ramp and she blows the fans a kiss in the slouched over position. She stands back up and starts strutting down the ramp while pointing down at Kandi and circling her waist, symbolizing she’ll be the new champion. She makes her way down to the ring and hops on the ring apron as she steps her leg over the second rope. She jots in the ring and walks over to the corner, standing on the second turnbuckle and blowing another kiss to the fans. She hops down and starts stretching as her theme comes to an end.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “Another one who has been hurt by Kandi repeatedly in her career and Miss Michelle is looking for outright revenge.”

JARRED DANIELS: “The Revolution is looking extremely strong tonight; can Michelle keep the momentum going?”

JESSICA TOWERS: “And introducing the final participant, billed from Houston Texas, standing in at 5 feet 10 inches, and weighing in at one hundred and fifty-five pounds… Laura!!

(“The Final Countdown” hits soon after and the fans just erupt with cheers and screams of “Laura” as she walks out from behind the entrance curtains. Laura pauses at the top and starts punching her fist into her hand as she’s glaring down at Kandi Washington. Kandi leans back in the corner as she nervously waits. Laura quickly runs down the ramp as she slides in under the first rope. She kneels up and starts walking toward Kandi as Sydney Vicious gets in between her. Kandi is yelling at Sydney to do her job.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “I’m expecting Sydney to just lay into Kandi or letting Laura get an early start.”

JARRED DANIELS: “Sydney is very professional and despite her differences with Kandi, she’s not going to risk her job.”

(Sydney reaches for the title and Kandi refuses to hand it over as they play tugawar a bit. Sydney finally yanks it from the champion’s hand as she walks to the middle of the ring. Kandi makes her way to Sydney and the arguing begins. Miss Michelle and Laura watch entertainingly as Sydney Vicious tries to continue doing her job, but every time she goes to lift up the title Kandi pushes her hand down. Sydney walks with the title to the ropes and hands it to a crew member as she yells for the bell, “START IT!”)

-DING DING-

JARRED DANIELS: “These ladies aren’t wasting anytime!”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “Kandi is already trying to take off from this one.”

JARRED DANIELS: “Can you blame her? She’s dug her own grave and now it’s time for her to lay in it.”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “Or fight her way the hell out of it!”

(As Kandi tries to escape the ring, Laura grabs her by the top of her bottoms and yanks her back in the ring. She wraps her arms around Kandi’s waist and launches her backwards with a huge German suplex. As Laura turns around, Michelle races out from the corner with a leg scissors takedown on Laura. Michelle kneels up as Laura uses the ropes to help her up. Michelle races toward Laura again, but Laura catches her with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker over the knee.)

(Kandi’s back is arched up off the mat and Laura ignores Michelle to make her way over to the champion. She leans down and lifts Kandi up by her hair. She shoves into corner and intentionally and aggressively places her hand around Kandi’s throat, pushing her further back and choking her relentlessly.)

JARRED DANIELS: “This is all legal right here!”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “She doesn’t look like a champion right now.”

(Laura releases her grip and Kandi rubs her throat, but Laura isn’t done as she slams her head into Kandi’s face.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “That headbutt was fueled by nothing but hate!”

(As Kandi is falling back on the ropes, Michelle runs up behind Laura and hops onto her back with a rear naked chokehold. She tightens the hold as Laura is trying to shake her off. She reaches her hands up to Michelle’s hair and flips her down to the canvas. Laura leans down to grab Michelle, but Michelle kicks her leg up—connecting with the top of Laura’s head. Kandi runs and tackles Laura with a mini spear. Kandi starts pounding her head against the mat.)

JARRED DANIELS: “Kandi is finally showing some defense in her first title defense.”

WILLIAMS MASTERS: “All that is going to do is make Laura angrier.”

(Kandi pulls herself up and little does she expect, Michelle takes her down with a clothesline. Michelle bounces down on Kandi and starts connecting with forearms to the face. Kandi manages to grab Michelle’s face and delivers a rake to her eyes.)

WILLIAMS MASTERS: “What a cheap tactic!”

(Kandi rolls out of the ring as she starts to make her way over to the commentary table. She grabs her title and motions with her hands she is finished. She starts making her way to the entrance ramp as Laura and Miss Michelle slide out of the ring. They start up the ramp after Kandi, but as Kandi begins to make her way up to the top, other Queen of Combats’ competitors start to make their way out from the back.)

JARRED DANIELS: “Uh oh, what the hell is going on here?”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “There’s Brenda Vixen, Tatum Regan, The Santiago Twins, Jenna Mourey, and Sirena Starr!”

JARRED DANIELS: “Kandi is surrounded!”

(Kandi turns around and realizes she is closed in. Michelle starts to go in for the kill, but Kandi runs at her too and connects with the title belt to the face. She turns toward Laura and Laura beats her to the punch with a boot to the stomach. She hooks Kandi’s tights and flips her up with a fishman buster.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “A fishman buster on that unforgiving steel!”

(Laura gets up as the other ladies on the ramp are cheering for Laura as she makes her way back to the ring. She grabs a table from beneath the ring as she continues pulling out all stops.) JARRED DANIELS: “I think you were right… this one is getting uglier!”

(Laura grabs a kendo stick she’s pulled out from under the ring and turns around to walk back up to her opponents. Michelle is up to her feet and she surprises Laura with a standing dropkick. Laura stumbles backwards and Michelle rams her back against the ring apron. Michelle has Laura in a headlock hold and she attempts to throw her into the steel stairs, but Laura elbows herself out of the hold. She grabs Michelle by the back of her hair and slams her face first into the steel stairs.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “I wouldn’t doubt if Michelle was knocked out with the adrenaline behind that move.”

JARRED DANIELS: “They knocked the stairs apart!”

(Kandi races over to Laura, but Laura stops her as she grabs Kandi up on her shoulders.)

JARRED DANIELS: “Samoa drop outside the ring! Kandi has been taking a beating through this match.”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “Laura looks unstoppable here tonight!”

(As Kandi is lying motionless outside the ring, Laura gets up as she bends down to pick up the folded up table that she previously removed from beneath the ring. She sets it up outside the ring apron and leans down to grab the blonde up to her feet. She grabs her by the back of her head and slams her face first on the table. She attempts it a second time, but Kandi with an elbow to the abdominal. She grabs Laura by the back of her hair and throws her backward with a mat slam. Laura rolls over to her stomach and Kandi dashes toward her with a soccer kick to the midsection.)

JARRED DANIELS: “I can’t believe Kandi is still standing.”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “And holding her own; I thought I would never see the day.”

(Kandi walks over to Michelle and leans down to pick her up, but as she attempts a sit-out facebuster, Michelle reverses it into a back body drop on the steel.)

JARRED DANIELS: “Kandi’s back may have just been broken in half!”

(Michelle gets on the apron as Laura is climbing up to her feet and she leaps off with a tornado DDT in mind.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “She’s going for the Seein’ Stars!”

JARRED DANIELS: “But wait, Laura uses her strength and counters it into a flapjack!”

(The camera gets an upclose view at Michelle’s face and her nose is busted open. Laura kicks Michelle out of the way before she makes her way to Kandi Washington. She leans down on the steps as she grabs Kandi up by her blonde locks. She drags her up to her feet and over to the table as she lays her across it.)

JARRED DANIELS: “Oh no, this is not looking good for Kandi!”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “Laura is going to destroy the champion!”

(Laura makes her way to the top rope as she stands up on the top turnbuckle. The fans are going fucking insane as Laura marks the spot. Ice is lurking around the ring as she’s watching Laura. As Laura gets ready to jump, Ice runs in and quickly pulls Kandi off the table with Laura in midair.)

JARRED DANIELS: “OH MY GOD! OH MY GAWD!! Laura has just belly flopped through the table! FUCKING ICE JUST SAVED KANDI WASHINGTON!”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “Laura might have just taken herself out of the equation!”

(Kandi has been rolled inside the ring and Ice leans down to pick up Laura as she puts her inside the ring. Kandi and Laura are both lying inside the ring motionless. Michelle runs up behind Ice and jumps on her back with a rear naked choke. Ice shakes her off and flips her over the shoulder as she staggers up to her feet. Ice slaps her hand around her throat while Kandi is staggering up to her feet and Laura is barely making any movements.)

JARRED DANIELS: “CHOKESLAM!”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “DEJAVU for Miss Michelle!”

(Meanwhile, Kandi Washington runs out of the corner with a punt to the head of Laura. Laura rolls over on her back and Kandi falls on top of her.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “This is highway robbery!”

JARRED DANIELS: “That jezebel just stole one from Laura and Miss Michelle!”

(Kandi hooks the leg, 1… 2…. 3…! The referee starts calling for the bell.)

JARRED DANIELS: “The fans cannot believe it. The Queen of Combats cannot believe it. Nobody can fucking believe Kandi is still champion!”

(Sydney stands back in the corner, just shaking her head in disgust. She makes her way to Laura and kneels down as she motions with her hand for medics to come check on her.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “What is this going to do for Mrs. Ego!?

(“Get Naked” blasts out from the sound system as Kandi can barely stand to her feet. Ice enters the ring with Kandi’s title in hand. She yanks Kandi up by her arm and hands her the title. Kandi clutches it to her chest and nods as the fans continue to boo.)

WILLIAM MASTERS: “I had a hunch; I just had a hunch she was going to find a way to escape with her championship.”

JARRED DANIELS: “And she did, but at what cost!?”

(Kandi starts yelling down at Sydney as she’s helping the medics attend to Laura. “Put it on me!” Kandi yells as she’s holding the title toward Sydney. The fans are screaming don’t do it as Sydney gets up and makes her way to Kandi. She takes the title and a barely standing Kandi poses in the ring, but Sydney Vicious slams her right forearm across the face of Kandi, dropping her to the canvas. Sydney lays the title on Kandi as Ice extends her hand to Sydney’s face: shoving her down to the mat.)

JARRED DANIELS: “Ice just assaulted a CZW’s official!”

WILLIAM MASTERS: “Sydney started the whole thing!”

JARRED DANIELS: “After dealing with weeks of torture by Kandi; I would have done the same exact thing, but Ice has no fucking business out here William!”

(The cameras fade to the backstage area as Kandi is helped to her feet and out of the ring by Ice. Sydney Vicious is left in the ring as the fans are cheering for the CZW’s official as she raises her arms in victory.)

-=TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!=-
Mason Kaid(c) vs. "The British Lion" Daniel Ward

***

DANIELS: Folks, what a show it has been already here tonight; TWO championship matches, and we're about to complete the hatrick right now.. Television Title on the line, as Mason Kaid of the Uprising defends against the Wayward Sons' own.. Daniel Ward.

The hall lights dim as attention turns to the ever-lovely Jessica Towers standing in the centre of the ring, smile on face and microphone in hand.

TOWERS: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the CZW TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

The legendary Brit-punk riff to "God Save the Queen" by the Sex Pistols tears onto the soundsystem, and the crowd offers a largely-positive reaction to the challenger in this contest as he strolls out through the curtain, fists extended out to the sides.

TOWERS: INTRODUCING FIRST.. representing the Wayward Sons... from Cambridge, England.. weighing in at 225lbs... "The British Lion"... DANIELLLLLLLLLL WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDD!!!!!

Ward makes his way briskly down the aisle, offering a few salutes to the fans either side of him before jogging up the steps and stepping into the ring. He approaches one of the corners, and hops up onto the second rope, throwing his fists out again as the crowd pops for him. After lingering a moment, Ward hops back down to the mat, then removes his shades and Union Jack sweatshirt as his music slowly fades out.

DANIELS: Nice reaction for "The British Lion" here, who's already challenged for just about every championship there is in CZW during his short time here.. will this be the night that this young man finally manages to take the next step, and get some gold around that Great British waist?

MASTERS: Hehehehe.. you think he has a great waist...

DANIELS: Oh, please! You know what I meant!

MASTERS: Oh yeah, we ALL know what you meant, Jarred!

After a brief pause, "Bartholomew" by the Silent Comedy hits the soundsystem, and a chorus of boos descend upon the stage in anticipation of the arrival of CZW's (Kill Your) TV Champion.

TOWERS: And his opponent.. representing the Uprising... from Akron, Ohio.. weighing in at 220lbs... he is the CZW TELEVISION CHAMPION... MASONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN KAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDD!!!!!

All eyes turn to the curtain as the boos continue to rain down.. however, Mason Kaid does not step through it for several seconds. In fact, so long are those in the arena kept waiting, that his music eventually fades out, and the arena lights return to normal.

DANIELS: Hmm.. well, I was gonna mention that we hadn't seen Mason Kaid in ring action since he got pinned by Boulder in our first show of the year.. but apparently he's not in any particular hurry to change that tonight...

MASTERS: It's called "strategy" Jarred.. Kaid knows this isn't gonna be a long match - it is against Daniel Ward, after all - so he's just trying to string it out as long as possible and give people their money's worth!

DANIELS: That's not very respectful to your fellow countryman, William...

MASTERS: Just because he's British doesn't mean I have to like him, Jarred... El Pablo's supposedly from England and you know very well that I think he's the biggest joke to ever set foot inside a professional wrestling ring!

As discussion reverberates around the room as to the whereabouts of Mason Kaid, the boos gradually return, as a figure ambles slowly out through the curtain and onto the stage, a lit cigarette in his mouth and the Television Title belt dragging on the floor behind him. The figure, obviously Mason Kaid, looks around the room with a look of typical disgust upon his face, then slowly makes his way towards the ring, continuing to puff on the cigarette as Daniel Ward looks out disapprovingly from inside the ring.

DANIELS: Well, there IS Mason Kaid.. finally deciding to grace us with his presence.

MASTERS: He does things on HIS terms, Jarred.. he doesn't have to pander to this three-ring circus like everybody else is oh-so happy to do!

Kaid finally reaches the steps, and climbs up onto the apron, dropping the belt on the top step as he passes. He slowly takes his leather jacket off as he takes one last heroic drag on his cigarette, then steps through the ropes.. pitches the jacket into the face of Ward, then charges across the ring and tackles him to the mat.

DANIELS: OH! A CHEAP SHOT.. AND MASON KAID NOW SUDDENLY UNLOADING ON THE HEAD AND FACE OF DANIEL WARD!!!

*DING DING!*

Kaid throws an unrelenting barrage of left and right fists onto the stunned Ward, then hops to his feet and starts stomping on his ribs. Ward rolls over, which gives Kaid the opportunity to grab the jacket and pull it back against Ward's throat.

DANIELS: And Kaid choking Ward now! COME ON, REFEREE!!!

Ward gets up to his knees, struggling desperately against the pressure on his throat as Kaid pulls the jacket tight. Ward fights his way to his feet, and in a burst of strength, manages to force Kaid all the way backwards, sandwiching the champ against the turnbuckle. Kaid manages to keep the pressure on, though.. but Ward stumbles forward and forces him back into the turnbuckle a second time. Still Kaid keeps the choke on, as Ward stumbles forward and drops to a knee, clearly starting to fade.

DANIELS: A desperate situation already for Daniel Ward, he NEEDS to find a way out of this predicament!

Ward lets out a roar, and slams Kaid back into the turnbuckle a third time.. then throws a leg up behind him and catches Kaid hard between the legs.

DANIELS: OOF.. that'll do it!

Kaid drops to his knees, doubled over with his hands pressed against his groin as Ward falls forward and crawls across the ring, coughing and spluttering as he attempts to get his breath back. He gets up to all fours, only to be met with a stiff boot to the face from Kaid. Kaid hauls Ward up and leads him over to the corner, slams his head against the turnbuckle, then spins him round and throws a series of fists into the side of his head. Kaid then drives a knee deep into the midsection, then steps back across the ring as Ward drops to his knees yet again. With Kaid stalking him from the opposite corner, Ward slowly pulls himself back up using the ropes. Kaid charges.. and runs right into a reverse STO that drives his face into the middle turnbuckle.

DANIELS: STO! BAH GAWD.. WARD FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!!!

Ward crawls out of the corner and pulls himself up to his feet, as the crowd offers the challenger a big ovation in response to that move. Ward looks around with a smile, then turns to face Kaid.. just in time to see the champ roll under the ropes and march around the ring, picking up his title belt and heading towards the aisle.

DANIELS: Oh and look at this! Kaid already making for the exit!

MASTERS: As well he should, Jarred.. it's obvious that Ward isn't playing fair!

Ward shakes his head, then dives out of the ring in pursuit of Kaid. He catches up to him just up the aisle.. spins him round.. and hits him with a huge European uppercut. Kaid stumbles back, only for Ward to grab him again, draw him in and hit another uppercut.. then pull him in again and haul him up over his shoulders.. turns.. and plants him with a rolling fireman's carry slam.

DANIELS: Kaid's back just got slammed into that hard concrete floor.. just look at the pain on his face!

Ward gets back to his feet, and hauls Kaid up after him, then leads him back to the ring and throws him under the bottom rope. Kaid attempts to crawl away again, but Ward steps up behind him and pulls him into the centre of the ring by his ankles.. then attempts to lock him in an arm-trap cross-legged STF...

DANIELS: BY ROYAL APPOINTMENT! WARD LOOKING TO LOCK IN THE SUBMISSION HERE!!!

Ward hooks Kaid's legs in, but before he can tie the arms up, Kaid manages to turn and jab a thumb into Ward's eye, freeing himself from the beginnings of the hold. Kaid then flips onto his back and headbutts Ward, who stumbles back to his feet as Kaid forces himself up onto his own.. hits the ropes.. Ward ducks a clothesline and pushes Kaid past.. Kaid rebounds again.. Ward grabs him, pops him up into the air and nails him with another HUGE uppercut.

DANIELS: P.O.W.R.!!! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, WARD ALMOST TOOK MASON KAID'S HEAD CLEAN OFF HIS BODY!!!

Kaid staggers backwards against the ropes, and as he falls forward, Ward grabs him and twists his arm into a hammerlock.. doubles him over.. traps him in a headscissors and takes him to the mat in a pinning combination.

DANIELS: DOS CARAS CLUTCH!

ONE!

-

-

-

-

TWO!

-

-

THREE-KICKOUT!!!

*DING DING DING!*

DANIELS: Did he get him? HE DID! JUST LIKE THAT.. DANIEL WARD IS THE NEW TELEVISION CHAMPION!!!

MASTERS: That was two! THAT WAS TWO!!!

DANIELS: Kaid DID kick out.. but it's the referee's decision.. and HE says he kicked out just a split second too late!!!

"God Save The Queen" returns to the soundsytem as Ward rolls to the outside, while Kaid sits bolt upright on the mat, looking like he's just seen (and been spat in the face by) a ghost.

TOWERS: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND THE NEW CZW TELEVISION CHAMPION... DANIELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!

Ward picks the Television Title belt up off the ringsteps, casting his eye briefly over the soiled nameplate before turning his gaze back to Kaid inside the ring, who is by now in the midst of a screaming fit/temper tantrum towards the referee.

DANIELS: Kaid looks like he's about to have a stroke here!

MASTERS: He's livid, and well he should be.. he got totally and completely screwed here!!!

Ward shakes his head as he then turns and makes his way up the aisle. When he reaches the stage, he pauses and turns back around, looking around at the fans who offer him a hugely-positive reaction. Ward smiles, and nods his head as he finally thrusts the Television Title belt into the air above his head, drawing an even bigger cheer from the fans as the screen lingers for a moment before cutting backstage.

-=GRUDGE MATCH!=-
"The South Beach Specimen" Big Nasty vs. Boulder

***

Jessica Towers: Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to have the grudge match and it is for one falls. Introducing the Money in the Bank 2013 winner being accompanied by the First Lady of Wrestling Kandi Washington billed from South Beach, Florida…. BBBBIIIIGGGGGG NNAAAASSSTTYYYY!!

[ “Battery” by Metallic starts to play over the CZW sound system and Big Nasty walks out with his MITB briefcase in one hand and Kandi Washington in his other. They stop at the top of the ramp and she runs her fingers down his chest as she tilts her head back, shaking her head loosely, and smiling seductively up at his face. ]

Jarred Daniels: I love Big Nasty as a wrestler, but why couldn’t he have found a better girl than her? She’s the whore of CZW!

William Masters: I guess she didn’t suffer a harder beating earlier in the show.

[ They start down the ramp, holding hands as she smirks at the crowd while they cheer for Big Nasty. They make their way to the steel stairs and Big Nasty hands his case to Kandi as he starts up the stairs. She struts around the ring as Big Nasty walks along the apron. He goes over the top rope and immediately flings his arms up in the air as the fans just erupt. His entrance will be cut soon as his theme is cut off. ]

William Masters: Oh couldn’t Big Nasty enjoy his fans for a bit?

Jarred Daniels: You know Boulder doesn’t give two shits about Big Nasty or his fans.

Jessica Towers: And his opponent, the resident bully of CZW billed from Brooklyn, New York… BBBBOOOOUUUULLLDDDDEEERRRR!!!

[ “Warning” by Uncle Murda hits the CZW’s p.a. system after cutting Big Nasty’s “Batter” off and he comes storming out from the back. He’s signaling for the fans to shut up as all they do is boo him. He walks down the ramp with intensity as he ignores the fans hanging over the barricade, trying to reach for Boulder. ]

Jarred Daniels: Boulder is only thinking about Big Nasty right now.

William Masters: There will be no games tonight!

[ Boulder makes his way on the ring apron and before he gets inside the ring, he steps over the second rope and snaps at Big Nasty to look up at the entrance ramp as his theme “Warning” comes to an end. Boulder sits on the second rope. ]

William Masters: Is this going to be who I think it is?

Jarred Daniels: God, I hope not!

[ The arena goes dark then “Man Up” Blasts on the speakers as the crowd starts to go crazy. Then there's a spotlight that hits the Entranceway and we see Mack Beaduin comes out with a big smile on his face. He’s wearing a Brooklyn’s Nets T-shirt with the Matching hat and he stops and look at the crowd. He smiles then runs right into the ring and slides in and once he gets up he walks right up to Big Nasty and they both are staring each other down as Boulder looks on. After a min Mack then just shakes his head and smiles as Big Nasty don’t back down and just stares right at Mack. Mack then starts to walk backwards and Mouthing some words at Big Nasty and then walks up to Boulder and looks at Boulder while Boulder just stares back at Mack. Mack then whisper something into Boulder's Ear and Boulder then nods. Mack then tells Boulder the “Kick his Ass!!” Then Mack slides out the ring and stands in the corner of Boulder. ]

William Masters: It seems like Boulder may be getting under Nasty’s skin and could play in his favor at Desperate Times.

Jarred Daniels: Boulder is known for upsets in his CZW career. This could be the biggest upset of his career.

(ding, ding, ding)

[ Big Nasty seems to be distracted by Mack and when he turns around to get his head in the game, Boulder capitalizes with a running shoulder block to the chest of Nasty. Nasty stumbles backwards, but remains on his feet. Boulder runs at him with a hard thunderous clothesline, knocking Nasty in the corner. Boulder leans down and starts persistently ramming his shoulder in the midsection of Nasty. ]

Jarred Daniels: Big Nasty is having the air constantly knocked out of him with every shoulder thrust Boulder is connecting with.

William Masters: Boulder has a lot of built up frustration and hatred for Big Nasty and so does Mack.

[ Nasty has slid down in the corner and before he can recover, Boulder runs at him with a running thigh to the face. Nasty flops down on the mat and Boulder leans down to grab Nasty up to his feet, dragging him further in the ring. He bends down and lifts Nasty up off the canvas, over his head, and slams him down with a forward slam. ]

William Masters: Not many men can lift Big Nasty over their head. Kudos to Boulder, a lot of potential tonight!

Jarred Daniels: The Money in the Bank 2013 Winner better figure something else out or Boulder just may have the upset of the night!

[ Boulder runs off the ropes and Kandi grabs his ankle. Boulder turns around to yell down at her and Mack makes his way over to her. The two start to exchange words as Boulder runs back at Nasty with a double axel to his back. He kneels down and starts clobbering him with fists to the back of the head. Mack points in the ring and yells at Kandi, “your boyfriend is getting his ass kicked!” Kandi slaps Mack hard across the face as she struts to another side of the ring. ]

William Masters: Kandi always seems to put herself in the line of fire! I can’t believe she just slapped Mack!

Jarred Daniels: Mack is not happy by it, but Big Nasty does not look like he’s ready to give up yet as Boulder is pulling him up to his feet.

[ Boulder helps Nasty up off the mat and Nasty surprises the hell out of Boulder as he lifts him up off his feet. Nasty drills Boulder’s back against the canvas with a spinebuster! Mack starts yelling and distracting Nasty even more as Nasty yells, “shut the hell up Mack.” As Nasty turns back around to Boulder, he begins to get socked in the stomach as Boulder slowly regains his composer. ]

William Masters: You have to watch Boulder and his jabs!

Jarred Daniels: Yes, if Boulder is good at anything, it’s beating people up!

[ As Boulder gets up to his feet, he whips Nasty into the ropes, but Nast reverses it and sends Boulder flying into the ropes. As Boulder bounces off the ropes, he catches Nasty with a hard kick to the shoulder. Nasty flings up and Boulder grabs him from around his midsection and pelvic area: T-bone suplex! ]

Jarred Daniels: Did you see the elevation of that t-bone?

William Masters: Yes I did and Big Nasty was just served!

[ Boulder quickly goes the cover… ]

ONE…

TWO….

Nasty KICKS OUT!

[ Boulder intimidates the referee before looking back down at Nasty. He lifts Nasty up in the seated position and starts to connect with punches to the top of the head. Kandi is aggressively pounding on the mat as Mack continues to shout out demands from the outside. As Boulder continues punching away at the forearm of Nasty, it becomes relevantly clear that Nasty is being busted open! ]

William Masters: The Money in the Bank 2013 holder has just started showing blood!

Jarred Daniels: Boulder is all over him and that’s what you have to do against a wrestler like Big Nasty.

[ Boulder finally quits punching away and he slams her back down on the mat. He runs off the ropes and goes for a running elbow drop, but there’s nobody home when he goes for the landing. Nasty rubs his hand over his forehead as he realizes how badly he’s bleeding. He gets up to his feet and so does Boulder. Boulder attempts a jab, but it’s blocked as Nasty sends him stumbling backwards. A few more forearms from Nasty before he whips a staggering Boulder into the ropes. ]

Jarred Daniels: Oh yes, Big Nasty takes the bully down with a nicely executed side walk slam!

William Masters: It doesn’t keep the big man down though.

[ Boulder kneels up to his feet and as Nasty goes to grab him by the head, Boulder delivers a chop block to the back of his kneecap. Nasty goes down and holds his knee as Boulder starts to do some real damage with kicks and elbow drops to the knee. Kandi attempts to get on the apron, but Mack is there to grab her. He starts to carry her to the barricade as Boulder is dropping down on the knee with an elbow drop, but holding Nasty’s leg inward with a leg hold. ]

William Masters: Boulder is trying to break his damn leg!

Jarred Daniels: That may save Boulder for a move Big Nasty has made famous.

[ Boulder breaks the leg hold and stands to his feet as Nasty is limping up to his, but he’s feeling the effects of Boulder’s aggressive streak. Boulder grabs Nasty and whips him into the ropes and Nasty is taken down with a powerslam. Boulder hooks the leg… ]

Jarred Daniels: The strength of Boulder is unbelievable!

ONE…

TWOO….

THRRRRRR…

. KICK OUT!!

William Masters: Boulder is livid and beside himself!

Jarred Daniels: He couldn’t have believed that powerslam was going to win him the match, could he?

[ Boulder is up and at it again as he drags Big Nasty up to his feet. He whips Nasty into the ropes, but Nasty comes back off the ropes with a giant spear to the midsection! ]

Jarred Daniels: Big Nasty has just broken Boulder in half!

William Masters: This may have been the opening Big Nasty needed. Mack is not happy and Kandi is ecstatic!

[ Big Nasty is first to his feet now and he has Boulder’s head in hand. He lifts him up with his hand around the throat. He is bringing him for what looks to be a chokeslam, but Boulder with a kick to the groin! ]

William Masters: Oh what a cheap and low tactic from Boulder! I expected better!

Jarred Daniels: Kandi’s man jewels have just been beaten!

[ Boulder grabs Big Nasty by the head and locks in a side headlock hold. He follows it up with high knees to the midsection as he knocks the air out of Big Nasty. He clenches onto Nasty’s pants and jumps up with a jumping DDT right on Boulder’s head. Kandi nervously watches on as she’s pounding the mat. Boulder is up to his feet. ]

Jarred Daniels: It’s not looking good at all for Boulder William.

William Masters: What the hell is Kandi doing with Big Nasty’s MITB’s briefcase?

[ Kandi slides in the briefcase in toward Big Nasty as Boulder accidentally backs into it. Kandi Washington is yelling up at Boulder as he leans down to pick the case up. Kandi looks beside herself. ]

William Masters: Kandi may have just cost her man the match!

Jarred Daniels: What an airhead!

[ He holds it up to Kandi and shakes his head with a grin on his face. Kandi pulls herself on the apron and he grabs the back of her hair as he yells at her, “you’re not going to save your boyfriend now, sweet cheeks!” He releases her hair and she grabs her hair as she steps off the apron. Boulder turns around with the briefcase still in hand as Big Nasty runs at him with a running big boot into the case! ]

Jarred Daniels: I thought Kandi was going to get it from Boulder now. She doesn’t have any idea when to mind her own business.

William Masters: It was all in her plan I betcha. Did you see how smoothly that setup was? It was all a part of her plan!

[ Mack is on the apron now yelling at Big Nasty, “I’m going to kick your ass!” Big Nasty turns to him and flinches as Mack quickly ducks down on the apron. He gets back up to his feet and Big Nasty sends his fist into Mack, knocking him off the apron. Boulder is somewhat to his feet and Big Nasty turns around into a punch to the gut. Big Nasty rebounds with a hard knee thrust to Boulder’s stomach. ]

Jarred Daniels: Big Nasty got a little feel for Mack with that iron fist to the face and setting Boulder up for a finale finish!

William Masters: It must feel good to be Big Nasty right now!

[ He shoves Boulder’s head in between the legs and lifts him up onto his shoulders. Big Nasty plants with him with JACKNIFE POWERBOMB! ]

Jarred Daniels: The elevation of that Nasty Bomb was just intense!

William Masters: Big Nasty is going for the pin!

ONE…

TWO….

THREEEEEE!!

(ding, ding, ding)

Jessica Towers: Here is your winner… BIIIIGGGGG NNNNAAASSSSTTTYYYY!!

Jarred Daniels: Big Nasty did it again. I don’t know how he came back from the assault from Boulder, but he proved he still got it.

William Masters: With that distraction from Kandi and the MITB briefcase, the door was left wide open for Big Nasty to capitalize.

[ “Battery” hits the p.a. system as Kandi enters the ring and dashes across to Big Nasty, who’s still favoring that one leg that took a severe beating from Boulder. Kandi hops in his arms as he raises his arm in victory while the fans cheek. Mack just slides something in to Boulder as Boulder puts brass knuckles over his hand. ]

Jarred Daniels: Did you just see what Mack handed to Boulder?

William Masters: Big Nasty is busy celebrating with his girl.

[ Boulder is up to his feet and runs at Big Nasty, sending his knuckles with the brass around them colliding with his face. Big Nasty falls backwards as Kandi is set to the mat as well, and Big Nasty has just been floored! Kandi starts screaming as loud as he could as Boulder stands over Big Nasty, being joined by Mack, who’s raising Boulder’s arm. ]

William Masters: Oh Big Nasty may have won this one, but it was Boulder with the last word.

Jarred Daniels: Oh somebody shut her up please!? Her screams are like daggers! As far as Nasty and Boulder, this rivalry is far from over.

[ Kandi is leaning beside Big Nasty as she’s screaming for Boulder and Mack to get the fuck out of the ring. “Warning” is now playing as the crowd boos and Boulder starts to make his way out of the ring with Mack at his side. Mack is clapping and telling the CZW’s fans that it’s all about Boulder this year! ]

***

Backstage, Ryan Lewis catches up to Eddie Rowan who is geared up for his match. He looks more serious and focused than he has in some time.

Lewis: “Eddie! I’m sure there is a lot of pressure on you guys for tonight’s main event. Can I get a quick word from you for the fans?”

Eddie nods, looking straight into the camera.

Eddie: “All I have to say is that El Pablo hit the nail on the head. This whole fiasco has gone on long enough and Ryan Shane was the catalyst. Therefore, the only way to bring this thing to a close is to DESTROY Ryan Shane. Whatever happens out there tonight, know this. I will make damn sure that Ryan Shane fails. I will do whatever it takes to ensure that Ryan Shane is not the one standing when that final bell rings. That’s a promise.”

With that, Eddie leaves, and Lewis simply shrugs and nods at the camera as we head back to ringside.

-=X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!=-
"The Aerial Specialist" Krimzon Blaze(c) vs Wes Hartley

***

Jessica Towers: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one-fall, and it is for the CZW X-Division Championship!”

“Releasing the Demons” by Godsmack blares over the speakers as the lights in the arena go in a flurry of red, white, and blue! After a moment, Wes Hartley emerges onto the stage, a towel around his neck. He scowls at the crowd, running his thumb across his throat before shooting a finger into the air and charging the ring!

Jessica Towers: “Introducing first, the challenger! From Nashville, Tennessee! He stands 5’10”, weighing in at 220lbs! WEEEEEEES HAAAAARTLEEEEEEY!”

Daniels: “Wes Hartley is out for blood! Look at him, William! That is the face of a man who is ready to bring pain onto another man!”

Masters: “Hartley was robbed of this chance due to an injury. Now, he has his opportunity to claim his first CZW championship, the X-Division Title, after some very impressive showings. The reign of Krimzon Blaze has been the stuff of legend, but if there is anyone who can end it, I believe it is Wes Hartley.”

Hartley slides into the ring, removing the towel from around his neck before climbing the turnbuckle and throwing another finger into the air! He looks around at the fans like they were pieces of meat, then jumps back into the ring as his music calms. The opening guitars of “Headstrong” by Trapt sound out through the air, before cutting to “A Cut Above” by Avery Watts! The lights flash in multiple shades of red, just in time for the champion, Krimzon Blaze, to make his entrance! Blaze nods to the music, slapping the title around his waist, before heading down to the ring.

Jessica Towers: “Introducing next, from Detroit, Michigan! He stands 6’1”, weighing in at 215lbs! He is representing the Wayward Sons, and he is the CZW X-Division Champion! “The Aerial Specialist”, KRIMZOOOOOOON BLAAAAAAZE!”

Masters: “Krimzon Blaze is on the streak of his life. He has defended the X-Division Championship with his life, and as it stands he is the longest reigning champion of all the champions currently crowned in CZW!”

Daniels: “Let’s not forget the big one. Krimzon Blaze is now THE longest reigning X-Division champion in CZW history. He defines this division. We’ve said Wes has the ability to end the streak, but Blaze damn well has the ability to keep it alive!”

Masters: “It’s the king of the skies vs the rabid carnivore of a technician! A match fit for the kings!”

Blaze leapfrogs over the top rope, landing firmly on his feet before pointing out into the crowd, hyping them up! He removes his title, raises it over his head, before handing to the ref. The referee displays the title for all to see, and after handing it to the ringside, signals for the bell!

*DING-DING!*

Daniels: “Here we go! Wes Hartley finally gets his promised shot at the gold and Krimzon Blaze! The champion and challenger lock up, with Hartley taking early control with an arm wrench! KB tumbles out of it and kips up to his feet. He takes Hartley down with a drop toe-hold! They stand and KB goes for a roundhouse, but Hartley catches his foot! DRAGON SCREW!!”

Masters: “Blaze could be in trouble right out of the gate if Hartley takes his legs from him.”

Hartley begins to stomp on Blaze’s leg while KB tries to get back to a vertical base. Wes grabs Blaze and lays into him with some stiff forearm shots, driving him into the corner. He whips Blaze to the far side, charging in after him, but KB gets the boot up!

Daniels: “Hartley staggers back after that boot from Blaze! KB up to the second turnbuckle…HURRICANRANA!! Hartley gets to his feet, but Blaze is on the move! He springboards off the top rope and catches Hartley with a dropkick!! Wes hits the mat and rolls to the outside!”

Masters: “And Blaze is still running!!”

KB hits the far side, charging and diving OVER the top rope!!

*THUD!!*

Daniels: “WES MOVED!! Krimzon Blaze crashes hard onto the floor!!”

Masters: “Ah, what an idiot…”

Hartley hauls KB to his feet and rolls him into the ring. He follows him in and pulls him up, locking him in an inverted facelock and spinning him into a sitout facebuster!! Hartley makes the cover!

Daniels: “Count of two only! Hartley is staying on the attack, however, locking in a dragon sleeper!! Blaze struggles, but Hartley has it locked in tight!”

Hartley cinches in the hold and KB struggles, trying to break free. Hartley won’t budge, so KB flips BACK and over him!! As KB lands on his feet, he quickly spins Hartley around in the inverted facelock and THEN barrel rolls to the mat, with a double-spin neckbreaker!!

Daniels: “What did we just see!?”

Masters: “I have no bloody idea…”

The fans are thrilled by such an athletic display, and KB slowly works his way to his feet. He pulls Hartley up and PLANTS him with a Michinoku driver!! He makes the cover!

The ref begins a 10 count as KB and Hartley slowly try to pull themselves off the floor. Hartley gets up first, pulling Blaze up and flinging him HARD into the barricade! Hartley rushes in and BOOTS KB in the face with a Yakuza kick!! Blaze slumps to the floor and Hartley drags him over to the ring, rolling him in! He follows in as well and makes the cover, hooking the leg!

Hartley gets to the top, but KB has recovered enough to cut him off! Blaze connects with a series of strikes to the midsection and he pulls Hartley off the turnbuckles into a fireman’s carry!

Daniels: “Kode of Silence!? NO! What’s this!!”

KB swings Hartley on his shoulders, whipping him around and dropping him down into a Codebreaker!!

Daniels: “What a move from the champion!! That should be all!! Blaze with the cover!!”

Daniels: “That makes two of us, and three if you count Blaze himself!! Blaze now gets to his feet, sizing up his opponent. He charges the ropes and goes for the HOLY SHOT!! WES GOT THE KNEES UP!! Blaze writhes in pain, gasping for air!! He gets to his feet and turns, Wes grabbing him and PLANTING him with a RUNNING POWERBOMB!! WES HOLDS ON FOR THE PIN!!

Daniels: “Still no fall! Hartley pounds the mat in frustration, pulling Blaze back up by his hair. He looks like he might be going for that Hartless Driver now!!”

Hartley locks in the double under-hook and hoists Blaze up, but KB’s momentum follows through and he breaks free in mid air, dropping to the mat behind Hartley!! KB spins around, as does Hartley, and Blaze lifts Hartley onto his shoulders for the K.O.S!! As Blaze drops Hartley for the knee lock, Wes lands on his feet, catching the knee!! He then lifts Blaze up and DRILLS him to the mat with the PACKAGED HART!!

Daniels: “PACKAGED HART!! HARTLEY HOLDS ON FOR THE PIN!!”

*DING-DING-DING!*

Towers: “Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match and NEW CZW X-DIVISION CHAMPION, WES HAAARTLEEEEEY!!”

‘Releasing the Demons’ blares as the referee hands Wes the belt, though Wes is looking off into space, barely noticing.

Daniels: “Well, Wes Hartley is our new X Division Champion, but he doesn’t seem very happy about it! In fact, he seems to be seething!!”

Masters: “Wes HAS been having some personal problems lately, Daniels. He also had trouble putting KB away. It’s possible that all of this frustration has come to a head!”

Hartley slowly stands, staring at the title belt in his hand, his teeth clenched angrily. He looks over at the referee as he helps KB off the mat…

Daniels: “Wes has a crazed look in his eye and-OH! He just threw the belt to the mat and now he’s ASSAULTING Krimzon Blaze!!”

Wes drives KB into the corner and absolutely UNLOADS a series of stiff kicks to the midsection, pummeling Blaze mercilessly! He then grabs Blaze and headbutts him before throwing him OVER the ropes to the outside, ROARING with anger, dropping to the mat and punching the canvas!

Daniels: “Well, whatever the source of that anger was, it didn’t seem like it was from this match!”

Masters: “Especially considering he WON!”

Daniels: “Hartley now grabbing the belt and leaving as the officials check on KB…I’m sure we’ll find out more about this soon!”

***

-=MAIN EVENT!=-
DESPERATE MEASURES CHAMBER!
"The Uprising" (Ryan Shane and CRYPT) vs "The CZW Elite" (El Pablo and Eddie Rowan) vs "The Wayward Sons" (Mike King and Mike Monroe)

***

Daniels: “The time’s come, William. It’s time for the Desperation Chamber, and more importantly, it’s time for the very fate of our company to be decided! Uprising, Wayward Sons, or the CZW Elite! Who will change the face of CZW forever?!”

Masters: “It’s obvious to me that, while anyone can win, a change must happen tonight.”

Daniels: “So you’re sticking with The Uprising, then?”

Masters: “I’m just for the change, Daniels. I’m just for the change.”

Daniels: “Right, well, no point in waiting any further! To Jessica Towers at ringside!”

The camera focuses in on Jessica Towers, the flashes of the cameras in the crowd reflecting on her blue sequin dress! She smiles and brings the mic up to her lips

Jessica towers: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is your main event of the evening, and it is the Desperation Chamber match!”

The fans go wild as the lights in the arena fade down, only lit up by the flashing of cameras and the quick activating and deactivating lights above! The camera scrolls up, catching the Desperation Chamber as an ominous drum begins to play. The cage, wrapped tight in barbed-wire and housing dozens of hanging weapons, slowly begins to lower.

Jessica Towers: “Now in this match, two men shall begin while the final four remain in their pods. After every four minutes another man will be released from his pod. If a competitor is pinned or submits, they are eliminated, and must exit the chamber. This match shall continue until only one man remains, and the winner of the Desperation Chamber match will earn his respective faction leader the right to decide the Owner of Combat Zone Wrestling!”

The chamber lands firmly around the ring, prompting Jessica Towers to exit out of the ring and the chamber.

“Slip Slide Melting” blasts on over the speaker system, bringing the fans in the arena to their feet! The song plays for a few seconds as the lights go up in a wave of green and white, and from the entrance ramp comes Eddie Rowan! Rowan looks out to the fans from under the hood of his black leather jacket, channeling the power of the fans before aiming a finger gun at the chamber, and firing it! He whips off the hood and turns to the fans, amplifying the noise further!

Jessica Towers: “From Seattle, Washington! He stands 5’11”, weighing in at 205lbs! He is representing the CZW Elite, as well as The Gunslinger Saints! “The Clown, The Killer, The Saint”, EDDIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE ROOOOOOOOOWAAAAAAAN!”

Daniels: “Eddie Rowan, to me, is one of, if not THE best choice El Pablo could have made to be his fellow CZW representative in this chamber. Rowan’s name is synonymous with success. He’s a former X-Division Champion, Global Tag-Team Champion, and most importantly, a former World Heavyweight Champion. That and he’s used to this very scenario! Eddie Rowan led CZW against the Renegades before the original shut down of CZW! William, I think CZW may have a great chance of being victorious with Rowan in the saddle.”

Masters: “But you’re forgetting one crucial point, Daniels. This ISN’T the Renegades! This is The Uprising! This is CRYPT! This is the World Champion Ryan Shane, and if you honestly believe that this chamber, a prison full of steel, barbed-wire, and God knows what else doesn’t favor Shane and CRYPT, you’re a fool.”

Daniels: “Normally, I’d have to agree with you, but William, this is CZW. The Ultraviolence favors our entire roster! Eddie Rowan has been in this company long enough to become a master of the art. This will be a good one.”

Rowan looks up into the chamber as he steps up the stairs and into it. He looks around at the weapons hanging on the walls all around, and then enters the ring before climbing up onto the ropes and extending two finger guns toward the camera. He jumps back into the ring and removes his jacket as the music dies down.

Daniels: “So Eddie will start things off. But against whom?”

The opening riff of “Immigrant Song” by Gotthard tears through the air as the lights in the arena go up in a deep red and flashing white! Smoke begins to rise up from the entrance stage, and as the lyrics begin, the smoke parts revealing Ryan Shane! Shane’s eyes are covered by his signature aviator shades, the black X on the faceplate of the title flashing in the light! He stares down at the ring, one hand slipped into the pocket of his black cargo shorts, before removing the title and holding it up in the air, stalking his way to the ring.

Jessica Towers: “From Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada! He stands 6’1”, weighing in at 225lbs! He is representing The Uprising, and he is the CZW WOOOOOOORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! He is “The Anti-Christ of CZW” and “The Straight Edge Curse”, RYAAAAAAAAN SHAAAAAAANE!”

Masters: “It is now time, Daniels. Something wicked this way comes. The World Champion of CZW has been essentially unstoppable in his quest to destroy the old CZW and rebuild it as a place of competition and honor, and yet he is still looked at as the villain. I believe Ryan is motivated by that, though, and who do you know that is more dangerous than Ryan Shane when motivated?”

Daniels: “I’m not sure I can answer that question, William. When most claim to be the most dangerous man in a company, it’s an attempt to intimidate the opposition. When Ryan says it, though, you have to think he’s telling the truth. Ryan’s record speaks for itself, he doesn’t lose very often, but damn it all he has to tonight!”

Masters: “The change is coming, Daniels. You can feel it in the air. After tonight, CZW will never be the same.”

Daniels: “Not if any of his opposition is still able to fight, William. CZW will never lay down and die! It’s not what we do!”

Ryan removes his shades and throws them to the ground, stopping just short of the chamber. He examines the structure with unimpressed eyes before entering it himself and moving to the very center of the ring. He looks around, and with a stone face raises the defaced CZW World Title over his head to a tidal wave of boos! As he does, his music dies down and the lights return to normal.

Shane and Eddie glare at each other from the opposite sides of the ring as the rest of the competitors are announced to take their spots in the pods!

“O Fortuna” plays out in the arena for a few moments, the fans letting out a loud round of cheers as the lights in the arena die down. As the piece ends, “In the Dark” by The Birthday Massacre rocks over the speakers and the lights blast on in a deep red! The focus returns to the entrance way, and from it enters Mike Monroe! He looks out at the fans, his Oni mask over his face. After a few seconds, he removes his mask and tosses it to the ground, walking at a steady pace down the entrance way.

Jessica Towers: “From Tiffin, Ohio! He stands 6’ tall, weighing in at 201lbs! He is representing The Wayward sons and The Tru Family Crew! He is “American Gaijin”, MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE MONROOOOOOOOOE!!!!!”

Masters: “Here is a man who is looking at this chamber as a way of regaining lost momentum. Monroe has been on a bit of a slow streak as of late, topped off by an injury that some rumors say has not fully recovered, but think about how this company returned. Mike Monroe was as dominant as an X-Division champion as we’ve seen in the past. I’ve said it before; this man is the Swiss Army Knife of Pro Wrestling. He can win in so many ways. I just hope a win for Monroe would be for the greater good.”

Daniels: “Monroe has a look in his eye of a man who wants to regain that former glory, and we all know he’s able to do so. This match is the perfect set up for his rise back to the top, a competition with the greatest CZW has to offer. A win here would be amazing for his career!”

Monroe scales the steps into the chamber, examining the barbed-wire on the cage, before entering the ring. He walks around the ring for a moment, picking out whatever weapons he seems fit, before turning to the crowd and throwing his hands out in the shape of two Ms! He enters one of the pods as his music dies down and the lights return to normal.

”Martyr (2010 Version)” by Fear Factory screams into the arena as the music is almost drowned out by a round of boos! The lights in the arena lower into a deep blue, a strobe effect to them as CRYPT enters onto the entrance stage! CRYPT tilts his head to the side, staring blankly down to the massive chamber, before twisting his painted face into a wicked smirk and walking down the entrance way.

Jessica Towers: “From Parts Unknown! He stands 6’5”, weighing in at 262lbs! He is representing The Uprising! CRYYYYYYYYYPT!”

Daniels: “Look at that man, if you can even call him that! CRYPT, the walking doomsday device of The Uprising, and can you even blame Ryan Shane for picking this monster of a man as his fellow representative in this match? He’s easily the largest man in this chamber, and he may be the most violent!”

Masters: “CRYPT is the loaded gun with a mind of its own, and Ryan Shane knows this. He has entered the wildcard, as opposed to Matt Covey or Mason Kaid, because CRYPT is still relatively unknown. We know how powerful he is, and that he enjoys violence. We just don’t know how much he enjoys it. Add in the faith he has in the movement! This man was lit on fire and thrown out of a second story window by the same man he fights with tonight! That’s how powerful this message is! That’s the change we need!”

Daniels: “Whether that faith is in the message or the money is yet to be seen, William. It’s no secret that CRYPT loves the dollars more than anything else, and you can be assured he’s going to earn his share of the keep tonight.”

CRYPT takes no issue with grabbing onto the barbed-wire cage as he climbs up into the chamber, almost enjoying it. He enters into the ring and circles around for a minute, then raises a fist into the air, a sick grin on his face as the lights return to normal and the music dies down. CRYPT smirks at the other competitors before entering his pod, the glass door closing behind him.

“St. Anger” by Metallica shreds onto the speakers to a loud mixed reaction from the fans in attendance! The song plays for a second or two before the entrance stage comes to life with orange light, and from the entrance way appears Mike King, the CZW Intercontinental Title around his waist! King is entirely focused on the chamber, not even so much as hearing the crowd and their explosiveness. King wastes no time with taunting, and quickly makes his way to the chamber.

Jessica Towers: “From Buckeye, Arizona! He stands 5’11”, weighing in at 210lbs! He is representing The Wayward Sons, and he is the CZW Intercontinental Champion! “The Egoist”, MIIIIIIIIIIIKE KIIIIIIIING!”

Masters: “Bloody Mike King has no business even being in this match! This was a fight divided in two, and of course King had to try and make it about him like he always does! This will be proof to everyone on the roster to be careful what you wish for!”

Daniels: “Wow, ok William. I think you forgot that Mike King is the current Intercontinental Champion, and after the numbers are crunched, one of the most successful champions in the company’s history. He cares about CZW, and he knows the threat at hand. He has a different idea of the direction, but make no mistake about it. Mike King is 100% for CZW.”

Masters: “He does know the threat. He knows how to lose to the threat. He’s also irritated both El Pablo and Ryan Shane, which is nothing an intelligent man should ever do. The Intercontinental champion has been on a roll since the return of CZW, but he’s quickly jumped out of the pond and into the ocean with the sharks!”

Daniels: “King can handle it, Masters. You know he can.”

King makes his way into the chamber, removing the Intercontinental Title from around his waist and raising it high into the air with pride. “St. Anger” quiets down and dies as King enters his pod.

The lights all shut down entirely, plunging the Mack S. & E. Complex into total darkness. The tension in the arena is at an all-time high, the fans anticipating who is about to enter. Suddenly, the entrance stage is lit up by multi-colored lights in the outline of a jacket, the fans breaking out into an insane round of cheers! A small multi-colored pyro set explodes around the man, turning the lights up into a rainbow blitz while “Party Hard” by Andrew WK plays overhead! With the lights on, we can see that the man in the jacket is El Pablo, a large smile on his face! He examines the shimmering skittles logos all over his jacket before making his way down the entrance way.

Jessica Towers: “From The Ikebukuro District of Tijuana, England! He stands 5’1”, weighing in at 195lbs! He is representing the CZW Elite! He is “The Faciest Face on the Face of Planet Pro Wrestling”, and “The Five Star Superstar”, EEEEEEEELLLLLLLL PAAAAAAAABLOOOOOOOO!”

Daniels: “LISTEN TO THE ARENA COME UNGLUED FOR EL PABLO! The captain of team CZW, arguably the most decorated superstar in CZW history and definitely the fans’ favorite competitor! This war has gone on since the return of CZW, and there has been one man standing on the side of the company the entire time. This is the fight El Pablo has been waiting for, and honestly, this is one he has to win.”

Masters: “El Pablo is one of the most amazing competitors you will see anywhere in the world, this is true. It’s a shame that he chooses to defend the insult to CZW that is Derek Damage’s regime. You are also right, Daniels, El Pablo must win this match. You know if The Uprising were to be victorious, or even The Sons, he would be dragged through the mud. This match is essential. ”

Daniels: “Pablo won’t let that happen. He just won’t. If there’s anybody on this planet that can end this war for the side of good, it’s the Skittles-sponsored Dragon Squirrel!”

Pablo removes his jacket and tosses it to the ground, then leaps into the chamber with one jump and bounds over the top rope! He whips the crowd into a frenzy, then holds his hands out at his side, embracing the people. The lights return to normal and the music fades away as he leaps back into the ring, giving Eddie a fist-bump before heading into his pod. The air is electric as all competitors are in their places. Eddie and Shane slowly begin to pace around the ring as the ref calls for the bell!

*DING-DING!*

Daniels: “Here we go! Our main event is now underway as Eddie Rowan and Ryan Shane start out in this, the ‘Desperate Measures’ chamber!! Both competitors circle up, looking confident and determined.”

Masters: “Lately Ryan Shane has all the reason in the world to be confident. Eddie…not so much.”

Daniels: “True, but the former world champion can’t ever really be discounted. There’s the lock up!”

As they go for the tie-up, Shane surprises Eddie with a knee to the gut! He hammers him to the side of the head with a forearm shot, followed by a second, and then whips him into the ropes. Eddie ducks a forearm on the rebound, hooking Shane’s arm and leaping up, catching him in a crucifix!

Daniels: “SHOULDERS DOWN! PINNING PREDICAMENT!!”

Masters: “Ha! How amusing that would have been…”

Eddie and Shane get back to their feet, Shane furious while Eddie simply smirks at Shane before winking.

Daniels: “Eddie has proven to be quite capable at getting under Ryan Shane’s skin, for certain.”

Masters: “Yes, well, sadly for him, that just makes Shane angry which is something that NOBODY wants.”

They lock up and this time Eddie takes control with a side headlock, throwing a knee to the gut as he backs Shane into the corner. He lays into him with a pair of European uppercuts and then whips him to the far corner, charging in after him but eating Shane’s boot as Ryan gets his foot up to counter! Shane seizes Eddie and quickly tosses him overhead with a belly-to-belly suplex that sends Rowan crashing into the corner!

Daniels: “ OW! Big time momentum shift there as Shane tosses Eddie into the corner and Eddie landed pretty much on his head! Shane collects himself and then glares down at Eddie, dragging him up off the mat by his hair. He shoves Rowan into the corner and now begins to lay into him with those forearm and elbow shots…now adding a series of kicks to his flurry! There’s a BIG time knee strike! Eddie is dazed as Shane backs out of the corner…charging in with a YAKUZA KICK!!”

Masters: “Kicked the taste out of his mouth with that one!”

Eddie slumps to the ground, looking completely dazed. Shane rolls him over and makes a smug pin!

Daniels: “Eddie kicks out, but Shane really did some damage there! Ryan drags Eddie to his feet and how sends him into the ropes…SPINEBUSTER!! Shane firmly in control now…badmouthing Eddie! Shane’s arrogance knows no bounds!”

Masters: “It’s not like it’s undeserved, Jarred! Like it or not, he’s taken and overcome every challenge CZW has thrown at him…”

Shane picks Eddie up from the mat, and as Eddie gets to a knee, he retaliates, hitting Shane hard to the midsection. The blow catches Shane off-guard, and Eddie throws another. The fans begin to get behind him, but jeer loudly as Shane up and NAILS Eddie with a roundhouse, catching him on the back of the head, dropping him back to the mat! Shane glares, reaching down and locking Eddie’s wrist, laying into him with a brutal series of stomps!

Masters: “Boot party! Eddie may as well just go home now. It’s obvious that he no longer has it.”

Daniels: “That remains to be seen, but Eddie is in definite trouble here! Shane lifts him up…locking in the double underhook…we could see a Cursebreaker here!”

Shane smugly looks at the crowd, his opponent trapped just where he wants him. Suddenly, Eddie twists out of the hold! Their arms remain locked as Eddie turns and stands upright, Shane now locked in what is essentially an inverted bulldog! Eddie drops to the mat, planting the back of Shane’s skull on the canvas!!

Daniels: “The crowd roars in approval at that innovative counter from Eddie Rowan! Both he and Shane are now slow to move!”

The camera shows El Pablo cheering on his partner from inside his pod, clapping and pounding on the glass. Back in the ring, Eddie and Shane both slowly rise and Shane throws a forearm, which Eddie blocks, quickly kneeing Shane in the gut and whipping him around, locking in an inverted face-lock and hoisting him up for an inverted suplex!! Eddie gets back up, pulling Shane to his feet and whipping him into the corner, charging in with a big spinning heel kick!

Daniels: “The fans are fully behind Eddie now as he has Shane under control, but we’ve got the countdown going for our next entrant!”

Daniels: “CRYPT!! We have both members of the Uprising in the ring now, and this gives them a HUGE advantage! If they can take Eddie out, then they’ll have a two man advantage for five minutes over each subsequent competitor!”

CRYPT exits his pod and immediately grabs a baseball bat from the chamber wall. Eddie is prepared, however, charging to the ropes and surprising the big man with a corkscrew plancha!!

Daniels: “Eddie staying on the offensive and keeping the Uprising members separated, which is what he’s going to have to do to have any chance of surviving this!”

Masters: “Possible, but unlikely! Now he’s got that bat, heading back into the ring! He’s aiming at Shane as he pulls himself off the mat!”

*SWING!!*

Daniels: “SHANE DUCKS!! DISCUS LARIAT BY RYAN SHANE!! Eddie swung for the fences, but Shane narrowly escaped having his brains dashed out by that bat, and now Eddie is down with Shane and CRYPT both advancing on him!”

CRYPT moves into the ring and nods at Shane who has picked up the bat, pointing it at Eddie, telling CRYPT to pick him up. The big man grabs Eddie by the hair, lifting him up and locking in a full nelson! Shane prods Eddie in the chest with the bat, berating him before he drives the top of the bat right into Eddie’s ribs!!

Daniels: “OH, what a shot from the bat! Rowan is in some serious trouble now! A second shot from that bat and then CRYPT with a full nelson slam drives him to the mat!! Shane now grabs Eddie, having dropped the bat, locking him up for that Cursebreaker again…AND HE CONNECTS!!”

Masters: “This is just painful to watch at this point. If I liked Eddie at all, I’d feel bad for him right now.”

Daniels: “Now Shane taunting Mike King through his chamber door as CRYPT slowly paces around Eddie, stomping at him…a big right hand as Eddie tries in vain to get off the mat. The Uprising is basically assaulting him at this point!”

Shane mocks King through the glass and then turns back to Eddie. He motions to CRYPT who also backs to the opposite corner, and they both measure Eddie as he tries to get off the mat. As he gets to a knee, both members of the Uprising charge in, connecting with running YAKUZA KICKS!! Eddie slumps to the mat, unmoving!!

Daniels: “BAH GAWD!! THE UPRISING JUST DEMOLISHED EDDIE ROWAN!!”

Masters: “But what’s going on here!? Shane has his attention on El Pablo, trash talking him after that devastating move, but CRYPT is in another world right now! He’s staring a hole right through the back of Ryan Shane’s head!!”

Indeed, Ryan Shane doesn’t notice that CRYPT has begun to slowly stalk him, a completely sadistic grin on his face! The fans are in an uproar and finally Shane begins to look back over his shoulder, seemingly confused as to why CRYPT hasn’t made the cover. Immediately he turns and takes a step back, defensively. CRYPT simply laughs and then…turns. He grabs Eddie by the hair and drags him towards the corner.

Daniels: “Well…I’m not sure what that was all about, and from the looks of things, neither is Shane! However, it doesn’t change the fact that the Uprising is in firm control at the moment, and it looks like CRYPT is going to set Eddie Rowan up for the GRAVE DIGGER!!”

CRYPT gets Eddie up onto his shoulders, moving up to the second turnbuckle. As he begins to transition the hold into a tombstone, there is movement from behind him…in the pod from which he recently exited!

Daniels: “What’s that!? The floor panel of that pod just popped open! BAH GAWD, WILLIAM, IT’S ALAN FISCUS!!”

Masters: “What the bloody HELL!?”

The fans lose it as Alan quickly hoists himself up from the floor, quickly exiting the pod and giving CRYPT a shot to the kidneys! Eddie slides off of his shoulder, catching himself on the second turnbuckle as Alan reaches up, grabbing CRYPT by the dreadlocks and YANKING him down to the floor of the chamber!

Daniels: “Shane now rushes Fiscus, but EDDIE ROWAN off the ropes with a clothesline!!”

Masters: “Fiscus has no business being in this match, Daniels!!”

Security begin quickly trying to unlock the side of the chamber to remove Fiscus, but meanwhile he pulls CRYPT off the mat and FLINGS him into the side of the cage…and the BARBED WIRE!! As CRYPT slowly staggers away from the cage, Alan snags him and PLANTS him with the OVERTHROW!!

Daniels: “OVERTHROW ONTO THE FLOOR OF THE CHAMBER!! BAH GAWD, FISCUS HAS TAKEN OUT CRYPT!!”

Eddie and Shane brawl in the ring, trading strikes as the countdown begins for the next entrant as security finally enters the ring. Three of them grab Fiscus who simply allows himself to be taken out, grinning sadistically at the unmoving form of CRYPT.

Daniels: “Mike King, the leader of the Wayward Sons has entered the match! He hops the ropes and quickly dives in to where Eddie and Shane are slugging it out, catching Shane from behind with a running elbow strike, knocking him down! A roundhouse drops Eddie as well! Shane gets back to his feet and King hooks him up…STRAIGHT JACKET SIDE-SLAM!! THE EGOIST SMASH!! Eddie now getting to his feet and King grabs the arm…hammerlock…DDT!! DIVORCE COURT!! SHANE AND EDDIE ARE DOWN!!”

Shane ducks the enziguri!! King recovers but Shane connects with a sharp kick to the chest! Another!! King struggles to his feet but Shane continues to press his advantage, rocking King against the ropes with a series of forearms! He whips ‘the Egoist’ to the far side, ROARING ELBOW, no, ducked!! Shane turns around…DISCUS METALLICA KICK!!”

He whips King to the far side, connecting with a flying lariat as King rebounds! As Eddie gets to his feet, Shane connects out of nowhere with a Saito suplex!! Shane and King get to their feet simultaneously and Shane ducks a Kick, grabbing King and dropping him with a suplex as well! Daniels: “The world champion standing tall right now, but the countdown is upon us once again!”

Mike Monroe enters the match!

Daniels: “Mike Monroe exits the pod and goes to enter…Shane charges to cut him off, but Monroe quickly steps back, catching Shane with a stiff punch to the face! He grabs Shane…suplex position…SUPLEXING Shane to the outside of the ring! Shane crashes onto the chamber floor!! Monroe gets up, looking around…”

Masters: “That’s not good, Daniels. He’s got one of his favorite toys!!”

Daniels: “Mike Monroe with that light tube!! He’s got the world champ measured up…THUNDAGA!!”

*SMAAASH!!*

Daniels: “NO!! BAH GAWD, CRYPT JUST CAME TO SHANE’S RESCUE, KICKING THROUGH THAT LIGHT TUBE AND DRIVING MONROE TO THE GROUND!!”

In the ring, Eddie and Mike King have recovered. They look at each other, then to the outside of the ring where the Uprising stand…then nod and CHARGE!!

Daniels: “ROWAN AND KING WITH STEREO DIVES OVER THE TOP ROPE!! King crashes into CRYPT and Rowan dives onto Shane!! The impact sends BOTH members of the Uprising into the wire!!”

Masters: “So CZW and the Sons are teaming up now? That’s not going to end well.”

King pulls CRYPT towards the ring, tossing him in while Eddie checks on Mike, helping him up. The fans cheer a bit as Eddie and Mike fist bump and then grab Shane, lifting him up and executing a double-team series of kicks to the champion!

Daniels: “A little Monrowan reunion there and the fans are eating it up! Meanwhile in the ring, CRYPT is slowly recovering as Mike King ascends to the top rope…ROCK ON MISSLE!! CRYPT is down and now Rowan and Monroe are pulling Shane up from the ground…OH!! SHANE JUST THREW A HANDFUL OF GLASS INTO EDDIE’S FACE!! Hard forearm shot to Monroe sends him reeling!! Shane pulls a chair from the side of the chamber!!”

*FWAAAACK!!*

*SMAAAAACK!!*

Daniels: “BAH GAWD!! A chair shot each for Eddie and Monroe and both men are down!! Shane into the ring, swings for Mike King, but King ducks! A boot to the gut and Shane drops the chair! King hooks Shane up…pumphandle…!! EGOIST DRIVER ONTO THE CHAIR!! KING ROLLS SHANE OVER FOR THE PIN!!”

CRYPT gets irritated as he stands. Out of nowhere, he finds himself DRIVEN to the mat, courtesy of Mike Monroe springing into the ring!!

Daniels: “SHOCK TRAUMA!! CRYPT IS DOWN AGAIN!!”

Monroe recovers but is immediately taken down as Eddie dives in off the ropes with a hurricanrana!! Eddie stands and is booted in the gut by Shane who has gotten to his feet! Shane locks Eddie up and hoists him up for a suplex, dropping him with a CURSEBREAKER IV!! Mike King gets to his feet and grabs Shane as the countdown begins to tick! He lifts Shane up and connects with the EGOIST REVOLUTION!!

Daniels: “El Pablo is in!! All six participants are now in the match!! EP flies out of the pod like a squirrel on fire, springing up to the top rope and FLYING into the ring, catching King and taking him down with an armdrag!! EP kips up and sees CRYPT going for him, taking him down with a dropsault! Pablo lands on his feet and kicks an advancing Monroe in the gut! He hooks him up for a fisherman’s suplex…tumbles back…DRAGONFISHIN’!!!”

Masters: “…dragonfishin? Really? Where does he come up with this garbage…”

Pablo turns towards Shane, but CRYPT has recovered, tackling him, both he and Pablo falling outside onto the grating! Eddie begins to trade shots with King while Shane pulls Mike Monroe to his feet, whipping him into the ropes. Monroe returns and gets caught by a jumping knee by Shane! Shane quickly grabs Monroe and sets him up for a hangman’s neckbreaker…but then drives his forearm discus-style to the back of Mike’s neck!!

Daniels: “RA’S AL GHUL!! Monroe is down! Shane makes the cover!!”

Daniels: “Not yet! Monroe stays alive, meanwhile King seems to have grounded Eddie, locking in that kimura lock!! Eddie is struggling, trying to get free as King wrenches on the arm, twisting it in a fashion that it’s not meant to be twisted!!”

Masters: “Watch Pablo and CRYPT out there on the grating, too! CRYPT going for a chokeslam!!”

As CRYPT lifts EP up for the chokeslam, EP manages to shift himself in mid-air, connecting with an enziguri!! He tumbles to the ground, rolling to his feet, glancing briefly at a staggering CRYPT before hopping up and springboarding off the top rope with a spinning heel kick!!

Daniels: “FURRY NINJA STRIKE!! NO!! CRYPT catches him in mid-air!! He hoists EP…”

*FWAAAAASSHSSHHH!!*

Daniels: “BAH GAWD, HE JUST THREW EP INTO THE BARBED-WIRE CAGE WITH THAT FALL AWAY SLAM!!”

EP is suspended momentarily, caught up in the barbed wire before gravity rips him free, sending him crashing to the grating! In the ring, Eddie grabs a broken part of the light tube from earlier, jabbing King with it to make him break the hold!! Shane has the steel chair, waiting for Monroe to get to his feet! He jabs the chair at Mike, but Monroe catches it, quickly shifting the angle of it and DROPKICKING the chair into the face of Ryan Shane!! Daniels: “Mike Monroe now heading to the top rope, looking to take out Shane once and for all, but no! CRYPT clobbers him with a STEEL PIPE! Right to the back!! Monroe crumples to the mat as CRYPT enters the ring. He raises the pipe overhead, looking to end Monroe…MIKE KING WITH THE KING’S ROAD!! HE ROLLS CRYPT UP!!”

Shane quickly grabs King, hoisting him onto his shoulders in a fireman’s carry, but Eddie connects with a quick spinning back-kick to the gut! Eddie goes after CRYPT as King locks in a cobra clutch, then spins Shane into a stiff lariat!! King recovers, but he gets BLASTED as El Pablo springs up onto the top rope, running along it and leaping off with a dropkick!!

Masters: “I can hardly follow anything that’s going on right now!!”

Daniels: “Right now the ones standing are Eddie and Pablo, and Eddie grabs CRYPT, motioning to EP to head to the ropes! Pablo springs up as Eddie sets up CRYPT in a neckbreaker position! We saw this move at Extreme Insurrection!! PABLO SPLASH/NECKBREAKER COMBO!! PABLO MAKES THE COVER!!”

Daniels: “CRYPT IS ELIMINATED!! We’re one step closer to seeing the end of the Uprising for good!!”

EP and Eddie fist-bump before turning…and getting nailed by stereo dropkicks from the Wayward Sons! Monroe whips EP into the corner and follows him in, connecting with a Yakuza kick, quickly followed up by a charging cannonball!!

Daniels: “Up High, Down Low from Monroe! Mike King unleashing a flurry of strikes on Rowan…Eddie down to a knee…SHINING METALLICA!! King just knocked Eddie’s jaw loose with that kick!! He makes the cover!!”

Masters: “Meanwhile look at Shane! His partner was taken out and now he’s wisely retreated to the outside of the ring, attempting to recuperate! !”

Daniels: “You can’t fault the strategy of the world champion there. If he’s going to win, he’s going to need to let the others inflict as much damage on each other as possible at this point!”

Monroe pulls Pablo to his feet, whipping him to the ropes, but EP reverses! As Monroe hits the other side, Shane quickly pulls the ropes down, sending Monroe crashing into the grating! Shane immediately begins to stop Mike while EP notices his partner in trouble, quickly going to Eddie’s aid!

Daniels: “Pablo has the crowd behind him as he takes the fight to Mike King now, a flurry of kicks and chops and punches!! King is dazed!! EP with a big kick that drops King to a knee! ‘The Technicolor Tecnico quickly turns and springs to the top turnbuckle…”

*FWHAAAAM!!*

Masters: “HAHA! MIKE KING JUST THREW THAT CHAIR INTO HIS FACE!!”

Daniels: “Mike King grabbed that chair from the mat and launched it at EP, nailing him right between the eyes!! Pablo crashes down to the grating outside the ring!! King turns and Eddie grabs him…INVERTED ATOMIC DROP, AND THERE’S THE SHINING WIZARD!! King is down! Eddie with the cover!!”

Daniels: “Great perseverance from Mike King!! The Sons are still both in this!”

Masters: “Not for long! Shane has Monroe up on his shoulders!! We could see a MURDER SCENE out on the grating!! Monroe is going to die!!”

At a loss of options, Mike reaches over and grabs the barbed wire, yelling in pain but effectively blocking Shane from completing the move!!

Masters: “What a sick man Monroe is!!”

Daniels: “That’s not pretty, but it is effective!! Shane pulls with all his might but Mike has better leverage at this point! Shane just lets Monroe fall back from his shoulders, now putting the boots to him on the ground! He pulls Monroe to his feet and FLINGS him hard against the pod!! Mike slumps down against the glass as Shane reaches into his boot…HE’S GOT HIS RAILROAD SPIKE!! THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR MONROE!!”

Shane begins to advance on Mike, but Eddie springs up to the turnbuckle, leaping off at Shane!!

Daniels: “SHOOTING STAR DROPKICK TO THE OUTSIDE!! EDDIE CRASHES HARD ONTO THE GRATING, BUT HE NEARLY KICKED SHANE THROUGH THE BAH GAWD CAGE!!”

Masters: “He could’ve killed himself pulling that off out there, Daniels!! I swear, these men are all insane!!”

Mike begins to push himself away from the pod, but EP has recovered on the other side of the ring, springing up to the top rope, running along the topes and leaping off…

*SMAAAAAASHHH!!*

Daniels: “MONROE THROUGH THE GLASS!! MIKE MONROE JUST GOT PUT THROUGH THE GLASS WITH THAT FIVE STAR EXPRESS!! BAH GAWD, THE CARNAGE!!”

Pablo pulls the bleeding, motionless form of Monroe out of the pod, rolling him over and making the cover!!

Daniels: “Pablo gets up from the pin, but King now drags him in through the ropes!! He straight-jackets the arms and now he’s going for…THE KING BOMB!! MIKE KING MAKES THE COVER ON EL PABLO!!”

Daniels: “I thought he was done for!! The frustration on King’s face shows that he did as well, but El Pablo has managed to stay alive in this match!! Eddie now back in the ring, aiding his partner, laying into King with those European uppercuts! Shane back in as well, attacking Eddie from behind, now Shane, Rowan and King all trading shots at one another!! King with a back-elbow to Eddie! Shane with a forearm shot to King! Eddie with a thigh-kick to Shane!!”

Masters: “These guys are all exhausted, Daniels. What happens if they all just pass out?”

Eventually, EP gets back into it, heading to the scuffle. He grabs Shane and attempts to whip him to the turnbuckle, but Shane reverses! EP hops up to the top turnbuckle, however, cartwheeling along the rope!!

Daniels: “VINTAGE PABLO!! EP FTW!!”

EP throws the superkick, but Shane DIVES out of the way!! PABLO KICKS EDDIE!!

Daniels: “BAH GAWD!! PABLO JUST ACCIDENTALLY NAILED EDDIE!! King grabs Rowan who was blindsided by that…SKAYDE SCHOOLBOY PIN!!”

Shane shoves EP to the outside as King makes the cover!!

Daniels: “And Eddie is gone!! We’re down to three, and fittingly enough, it’s the three leaders of the factions!! Shane begins mauling King with those forearm shots, like a shark smelling blood in the water!! Shane now retrieves his railroad spike!! He approaches King who has collapsed to his knees!!”

Shane grabs King by the hair, slowly and deliberately measuring him up for a vicious spike to the head! Suddenly, Eddie pops up behind Shane, grabbing the spike from him! As Shane turns, Eddie knees him in the gut! He grabs him in a side head-lock, holding the spike to his forehead…

*THWOMP!!!*

Masters: “OH BLOODY HELL!!”

Daniels: “BAH GAWD, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! EDDIE ROWAN WITH A BULLDOG ONTO THAT RAILROAD SPIKE!! HE JUST DROVE IT THROUGH SHANE’S SKULL!!”

Masters: “He’s not even legally in the match anymore!!”

Daniels: “No, but he said earlier that he would do ANYTHING to make sure Shane failed!!”

Shane rolls around in excruciating pain, blood immediately running down his face. Eddie simply sits where he landed, glaring at Shane, shaking his head as security once again enters through the side of the cage, dragging him off!

Daniels: “Shane is a bloody mess!! He’s trying to push himself up from the mat, but I’m amazed he’s still even conscious at this point!! He pushes himself up to a knee…Mike King grabs the arm…LA CASITA!!”

Masters: “ROWAN WASN’T EVEN LEGAL!!”

Daniels: “Whose side are you on!?”

King pounds the mat as he gets up from the pin, turning to look for his final opponent…only for EP to catch him out of NOWHERE!!

*WHUUD!!*

Daniels: “TASTE THE RAINBOW!! TASTE THE RAINBOW!! BAH GAWD, EP OUT OF NOWHERE AND HERE’S THE COVER!!”

Towers: “Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match…EL PAAAAAAABLOOOO!!”

Daniels: “HE’S DONE IT!! HE’S DONE IT, WILLIAM!! EL PABLO HAS WON THE DESPERATE MEASURES MATCH AND SAVED CZW!! NO MORE UPRISING!! EL PABLO HAS DONE IT!!”

Masters: “Bloody hell, I was worried for a moment there…”

EP bounds around the ring, celebrating as ‘Party Hard’ begins to play, the fans cheering at a deafening level! From the back emerges Derek Damage to a massive ovation, but he does not acknowledge it. His eyes are locked on the fallen Ryan Shane. The chamber rises and is far past the ring as Damage arrives, wasting no time as he reaches under the ring! The boss digs around, before removing a steel chair! The fans go insane as Damage enters the ring, just staring down at Ryan! Ryan slowly begins to stir, but is unaware of Damage or the chair! He grabs the ropes, and begins to drag himself up!

Daniels: “The boss, he’s looking to put the final exclamation point of the night on Ryan personally!”

Masters: “Yes, do it, Derek. Show us all how unfit you are to run this business.”

Daniels: “William, what’s with the sudden sinister twist in your voice?”

Masters says nothing else as Ryan gets to his feet, turning around in a stumbling motion before falling back into the ropes, his face a crimson mask, holding himself up by the top rope and finally noticing Damage! He gives a look of disbelief, while Derek eyes him with pure rage! He yells something incomprehensible at Ryan, and lifts the chair high over his head!

Daniels: “This is it!”

Masters: “You don’t even know.”

Before Damage can swing the chair down, Ryan’s shocked face twists and turns into a smirk! Derek stops, raises an eyebrow as Ryan removes one hand from the top rope, and points behind him! Derek turns around, and the chair goes flying as he’s hit with a superkick…….FROM EL PABLO?!?! The crowd goes completely silent as Damage hits the mat, Pablo staring sternly down at him.

Daniels: “I……I….wha……..wha…….wha……I….”

Masters: “I believe that’s my cue.”

Masters removes his headset and stands up from the table, walking toward ringside.

Daniels: “Wait, William! Where are you going?!? What the hell is going on!?!”

Ryan pushes himself off of the ropes and walks towards Pablo, and the two hold a stare down for a passing moment before sharing a laugh and a hug! The crowd whips into a torrent of hate, and yet there are mixed in cheers as some fans begin to understand what is happening! Ryan looks to the downed Damage, then back to Pablo. The two creep back into the corner behind them, waiting for Damage to get up!

Daniels: “Damn it all, no! No! What the hell is happening?!? Somebody stop this!”

“IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII’VE HAVE ENOUGH! I’M TAKING YOU DOWN! TAKING YOU DOOOOOOWN!”

The roof explodes off of the arena as “Taking You Down” by Egypt Central plays out! There’s a pause and both Pablo and Ryan look up to the stage in shock as “The Human Highlight Reel” Eric Collum appears on the entrance way! Collum holds a lead pipe in his hand, and jumps in place to hype himself up!

Daniels: “Eric Collum??! The former World Heavyweight Champion has returned! I don’t know why but thank God somebody came out to stop this!”

Collum charges down to the ring and dives under the bottom rope, squaring off with Pablo and Shane! The three look like they’re ready for war, before Collum swings the pipe back….and slams it into the back of Derek Damage! The boos, if possible, only grow louder in the arena!

Daniels: “NO! NO! WHAT THE FUCK?!”

By this time, William Masters has made his way to ringside. Pablo, Shane, and Collum stalk back into their corners, watching as Damage somehow finds a way to rise up to his knees. Ryan nods to both men before they all run forward, booting Damage in the head at the same time! Damage crumbles to the mat, now bleeding from the forehead! Masters climbs into the ring as Ryan dives out of the ring, reaching under it himself. He removes from it a can of spray paint, and demands his title! Jessica Towers shudders and he tears it from her hands, as well as her microphone, and rolls back into the ring. He lays the title down flat in the middle of the ring, and throws his arm around El Pablo as he begins to talk.

Shane: “I told you…..I told you we would come to you. I TOLD YOU I DIDN’T LOSE! Now it’s over. The storm is here! But I know you all are dying to hear the results of this match, aren’t you? Pablo! Tell these people what they want to hear!”

Shane hands the mic to El Pablo, who passes an arrogant smirk as he looks around at the people.

El Pablo: “Everything you know about CZW is about to come to an end. That’s a Five Star Guarantee. Ladies and Gentlemen, your new owner of Combat Zone Wrestling, WILLIAM MASTERS!”

Masters looks on rather un-amused, but removes one hand from behind his back to lazily raise an index finger into the air! The sheer hate and confusion in the arena is deafening as Ryan takes the microphone back. He shakes the can of spray paint in the other hand and pops the cap off.

Shane: “The CZW you know…..is dead. The CZW you’ve been forced to love is dead! The CZW under Derek Damage is dead!”

Shane leans down, and begins to add more spray paint to his already defaced title! As he does, the EMTs have managed to place Derek Damage on a stretcher, and begin to wheel him up the entrance way. From the spray of the can, we can tell the color of the paint is blue!

Shane: “But what will replace it….is something better. The very BEST competition in the world, and with myself, Eric Collum, and EL Pablo leading the way, the very BEST competitors in the world. William, wouldn’t you agree?”

Masters gains a villainous grin, nodding once to the World Champion! Shane finishes his painting, tossing the can to the side. He picks up the title keeping the faceplate away from the camera.

Shane: “And what will finish the transformation of CZW is an addition of something else. Something more. The most unresistable in the professional wrestling world today. CZW will be reinforced by three more letters……”

Ryan raises the CZW World Title high into the air, turning it around to reveal the faceplate to a HUGE round of boos with a decent amount of cheers. While the X in the center remained black, on the left and right sides, the letters “D” and “M” were written in blue!

Shane: “D…..X….M.”

Shane tosses the mic down to the mat as he turns with the title still high in the air! Pablo taunts to the crowd as Ryan moves behind him, raising his other arm and crossing them and the title over his head into an X! Collum soon does the same, and William Masters folds his hands behind his back, peering out into the sea of enraged fans!

Daniels: “I….don’t know what to say. Derek Damage is….is gone from CZW, and in his place…William Masters? And….Deus eX Machina?! I just….I can’t…”

Daniels removes his headset, unable to speak anymore. The camera focuses in on the four men in the ring, the reformed Deus eX Machina, and the new owner of the CZW William Masters. Ryan leans on the top rope, extending the World Title as he stares at the unconscious Derek Damage, who has now been wheeled to the top of the ramp. Pablo and Collum soon join him, the camera catching a final look at the new DXM, and finally, the world title, fading to black as the old CZW comes to a close, and the new one just begins.
