Bell Centre
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
JR: Good evening fans, we are coming to you live from the Bell Centre in Montreal, and we have what may be the best show in a long time waiting for you tonight.
B: That we do. And from what I've been able to gather in the back before the show, a lot of the competitors we'll see tonight have taken on a perspective of less talk, more action for tonight's event.
JR: Clearly everyone has been looking to step it up for the upcoming IEW pay per view event Balls To The Wall, and with tonight being the last event before it all comes to a head, you can imagine there won't be much holding back here tonight.
B: Speaking of holding back, lets get straight to the action!!!
Mic: Introducing first to the ring, weighing in at 235 pounds, a former IEW World Heavyweight Champion, MATT RISON!!!
[The word "Survivor!!!" is yelled across the PA system as "10,000 Fists" by Disturbed blares out through the speakers.]
Survivor!!!
[Matt Rison parts the curtain as the first lyrics begin, making his way to the ring, only occasionally looking up into the crowd.]
One more goddamn day when I know what I want
And my want will be considered tonight, considered tonight
Just another day when all that I want
Will mark me as a sinner tonight, I'm a sinner tonight, yeah
[Matt Rison climbs the steps up into the ring. He wipes his boots off on the apron before stepping through the ropes to enter the ring.
People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you then walk away
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of
Ten Thousand fists in the air
[Matt Rison climbs up onto the middle turnbuckle and holds his right hand, balled up in a fist, high above his head as he looks around the crowd.]
JR: Rison looks focused on his match. He might be looking to take the number one contendership away from Phoenix Halliwell and fight Jason Twisted next week himself.
B: Phoenix will have something to say about that.
Mic: And now, introducing the number one contender for the IEW World Heavyweight Championship, weighing in at 250 pounds, PHOENIX HALLIWELL!!
*The triquetra symbol starts to flash on the big screen, sort of like a heartbeat. The opening guitar riffs of “How Soon Is Now” by Love Spit Love starts up and images of magical proceedings appear on the screen interspersed with footage of old Phoenix Halliwell matches.*
“I am the son… and the heir…
“I am human and I need to be loved…
“Just like anybody else does.”
*“The Charmed One” himself comes out from behind the curtains and walks down the aisle towards the ring. Pyro and fireworks go off as he walks. Once he enters the ring, he removes the coat, glasses, jeans and T-shirt and stands ready to wrestle. Before his opponent arrives though, the music is turned down, the house mic lowers down from the ceiling and the following is heard from Phoenix Halliwell: *
“Powers of the witches rise
Course unseen across the skies
Come to he who calls you near
Come to me and settle here.”
*The house lights come all the way up and Phoenix Halliwell is ready to wrestle.*
DING DING DING!
*Phoenix and Rison grapple up to start the match. Rison knees Phoenix in the gut then lifts him up for a suplex. Phoenix hits the mat hard.*
JR: Nice way to start the match. Rison is wasting no time showing Phoenix just how tough he is.
*Rison stomps Phoenix a few times for good measure. Phoenix rolls out of the ring to collect himself. However, Rison runs off the ropes into a catapult right onto Phoenix! The fans cheer loudly as both competitors rise to their feet. Rison is first to his feet. He grabs Phoenix’s head and attempts to slam him into the steel steps, but Phoenix reverses the move and slams Rison's head into the steps!*
B: GREAT counter by Phoenix. He may have saved the match right there.
*Phoenix rolls in and out of the ring to reset the count. He then takes Rison’s arm and slams it into the railing. A few fans pat Rison on the back but he is too dazed to notice and flops on the ground. Phoenix stomps Rison a few times but then notices a sexy girl asking to get his autograph on her breast! Phoenix happily obliges, grabbing a permanent marker. But before he can finish his name, Rison gets to his feet and clubs the back of Phoenix with an axe handle smash!*
B: Oh my God! That marker just went all over that woman’s body!
JR: She wanted an autograph, but what she got was some abstract art!
*The woman shrieks and slaps Matt Rison, but security guards push her away. Rison rolls Phoenix into the ring and climbs in himself before the ref counts 10. Rison sees his opportunity and asks the fans if he should climb the top turnbuckle. The fans cheer loudly in return.*
JR: Rison is about to make Phoenix pay for ruining the best jugs in this stadium.
*Rison climbs the turnbuckle and dives down performing a leg drop, but Phoenix rolls away at the last second and Rison screams in agony!*
B: Rison may have broken his tailbone on that one!
JR: It was too soon for him to go to the top rope. It was a rookie mistake, but Rison thought he could get away with it that time.
*Phoenix sees the pain Rison is in and gets him up only to hit a reverse atomic bomb. Rison writhes in pain holding his buttocks, and Phoenix picks up Rison for a scoop slam.*
B: Rison will barely be able to walk after this match!
JR: He will need a foam cushioned seat when using the john as well.
*While Rison is still on his back, Phoenix lifts up both of Rison’s legs and executes a wishbone leg-splitter. He then drags Rison by his leg to one of the corners and climbs out of the ring. He positions Rison’s legs in between the turnbuckle and looks to the fans for what he should do next. The fans cheer loudly, signaling they want a low blow! However, the ref warns Phoenix that he is watching intently so Phoenix decides against it, but instead slams Rison’s right knee into the turnbuckle!*
JR: Luckily for Rison, the ref stopped Phoenix from damaging the family jewels.
B: Well, at least Rison will still be able to “celebrate” after his match!
*Phoenix then climbs up the corner of the ring and positions Rison’s legs for a figure four lock. Rison attempts to break the hold but its no use. Phoenix locks in the hold and leans backwards almost to the ground, using his entire bodyweight for added leverage. Rison screams in agony but has the presence of mind to grab the nearby ropes and the ref makes the count to break the hold.*
Ref: 1… 2… 3… 4…
*And Phoenix breaks the hold just in time. He then climbs back into the ring and goes for a sharpshooter. Rison fights violently, trying to keep Phoenix from locking in the hold.*
JR: The Vanquish! If Phoenix can get this locked in, Rison will be done for sure!
*Rison somehow gets Phoenix off balance and kicks him right in the chin, knocking him down to the canvas, stunned. Rison then tries to stand up using the ropes as a crutch.*
B: Rison is still feeling the effects of that figure four.
*Rison eventually gets up but so does Phoenix. Rison gives Phoenix a hard right hand, but Phoenix eats it and gives Rison a right hand of his own. Rison falls back a few steps, but falls forward giving Phoenix another right hand. Phoenix staggers back but gives Rison a punch of his own! The two men then exchange right hands again.*
JR: These competitors are taking to each other blow for blow, neither man backing down!
*Phoenix goes for a power haymaker but Rison ducks it and applies a mandible claw!*
B: Finger Lickin’ Good! Phoenix is done here for sure!
*Phoenix makes muffled screams while waving his arms wildly. He somehow lands an elbow to Rison’s temple and he breaks the hold before it can do any real damage. Phoenix holds his mouth for a second or two before gathering his senses. Rison rushes at Phoenix but he grabs Rison and executes a German suplex, then a second, then a third with a pin!*
JR: The Triquetra! Will Rison survive this?
Ref: 1…
2…
Kickout!
*Phoenix argues the call but the ref insists it was two. Phoenix, still angry at the kickout, grabs Rison’s legs and stomps Rison’s midsection. Then he attempts The Vanquish again! Rison fights it again, but Phoenix holds on to Rison’s legs. Rison keeps himself on his back as long as he can but Phoenix muscles his way around and locks in the hold!! Rison screams in pain!*
B: The Vanquish!! Phoenix just locked it in! Rison has nowhere to go!
*The fans scream wildly. The ref asks Rison if he wants to give up but he grits his teeth and says no. Rison looks around and sees one of the ropes a few feet away. Rison musters up all his energy and inches his way to the rope. Phoenix pulls back on Rison’s legs wrenching more pain, but Rison gets a few fingers on the rope and holds on for dear life.*
Ref: 1… 2… 3… 4…
*And Phoenix finally lets go. Rison gets up using the ropes, but Phoenix clubs Rison in the back a few times and sets up for a summersault piledriver.*
JR: Phoenix is looking to end the match here with The Spell!
*Phoenix has Rison between his legs, but Rison unexpectedly flips up and around Phoenix, grabbing his head in a bulldog position. However, instead of finishing the bulldog maneuver, Rison turns around and lifts up Phoenix for a vertical implant DDT!! The fans go wild!*
B: The Shattered Dreams DDT! How did Rison muster up the strength to get that off?
JR: I have no idea, but it saved Rison the match! Now if only he can get a cover in time!
*Rison and Phoenix lay motionless on the canvas. The ref counts to 1… 2… 3… Eventually Rison starts to twitch. 4… 5… 6… Rison finally reaches an arm over to Phoenix and makes the cover!*
Ref: 1…
2…
3..Kickout!!
*Phoenix gets his arm up just in time! Rison can’t believe it. Phoenix starts to get up, but Rison gets in a chickenwing crossface! Phoenix screams in pain!*
B: Rison just put on The Redeemer! Phoenix is about to be redeemed!
*Phoenix wiggles, but can’t get out of the hold. He looks for a nearby rope, but there’s no ropes in sight. With one last ditch effort, he finally rolls around on his back and elbows Rison in the face with his free arm. Rison breaks the hold and Phoenix rolls back around to Rison’s legs and quickly applies the sharpshooter with Rison still on his stomach. Rison finally realizes what is going on and tries to muscle his legs back, but by now it’s too late. Phoenix locks in Rison’s legs and wrenches backward as far as he can!*
JR: The Vanquish a third time!! Can Rison cheat death again?
*Rison inches his way to the nearest rope. He gets a little closer, a little closer, until he is one inch away. He reaches out with all his strength to grab the rope! His fingers touch the rope, but Phoenix sees what is happening and at the last second pulls Rison into the middle of the ring! Rison still refuses to tap but he has nowhere to go. Phoenix wrenches back with all his might so his head and back almost touch the canvas! Rison aches in pain and he has no choice but to weakly tap the canvas.*
DING DING DING!
*Phoenix holds his hands up in the air as “How Soon is Now” plays throughout the arena. But before Phoenix leaves the ring, he helps Rison to his feet. The fans give both men a standing ovation.*
JR: These two top competitors have given it all they got. They have nothing but mutual respect for one another.
The Mic: This match is set for one fall. Introducing first from Newcastle, England, this is CJ Dude!
The arena goes dark and red strobe lights flash over the ring and stage and red spot lights over the crowd. Axle starts to sing "Welcome to the jungle" as C-J Dude walks out onto the stage. CJ gets a mixed reaction as he walks to the ring. He shakes hands and slaps a few fans hands. As CJ climbs the steps he takes a tin out of his pocket and removes a home rolled cigarette. As the camera zooms in we see a spliff as CJ lights up. He steppes between the ropes and mounts the turnbuckles. After saluting the crowd he puts the spliff out and removes his jacket as he backs into his corner.
Mic: His opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, this is Warpath!
(Strobe lights flash the entranceway. "Machinehead" by Bush hits the P.A. Pictures of Warpath back in the IEA days fade into the IEW-tron, showing Warpath giving several opponents the Silencer, nailing them with various weapons, and as the images comes faster and faster we get more recent scenes, Warpath giving Rizzo a Silencer off the top of a ladder, Warpath nailing Croc with his bat, spearing David Sanchez through a door, and as these images flash on the IEW-tron, Warpath appears from the back, carrying his bat in his hand. Fog rolls out onto the ramp, then pyros explode and Warpath walks down the ramp, carrying his bat over his shoulder. He stares down at the ring with great intensity and purpose.)
Mic: Your referee is Kyle Mackal.
Brutus: Looks like ol’ Mackeral is wearing the stripes for this match.
JR: Sounds fishy to me.
Mackal calls for the bell and both men circle and lock up. Warpath forces Dude in the corner. He breaks clean and backs off. They lock up again and CJ Dude snatches a side headlock and takes Warpath down.
JR: Nice technique and good basic wrestling by Dude. If you control the head the body will follow.
Warpath pops out and reverses into a hammerlock. CJ tries to grab the ropes, but can’t. He then tries to sit out, and does reversing the hammerlock.
JR: This is the game of human chess!
B: The next sound you hear will be me snoring. Where’s the real Warpath? Where’s the Wrecking Machine? He must be in wuss gear. Red Hood has his number and he knows it.
Warpath sneaks a leg over the rope and gets the break. The combatants separate and go toward their corners as they circle one another. CJ dashes to the ropes and comes off with a shoulder block that moves Warpath half a step back. Dude points to the ropes and dares Warpath to do what he did. Warpath does, and CJ takes a step back. He nods to Warpath and they start circling again.
B: What was that all about?
JR: Respect?
B: Never heard of it.
CJ snatches another headlock, but before he can go for the takedown, Warpath snatches him in a belly to back side suplex, and drops Dude on the back of his neck and head. Warpath bridges up for the pin!

2
Kickout!
Warpath rises to his knees to ask for the count, and seeing it was just two, picks up CJ and delivers three quick headbutts and follows that up with a vertical suplex. He tries for the pin again and just gets a two count.
B: CJ’s tough.
JR: He’s in the IEW. That comes with the package.
CJ ducks an oncoming clothesline from Warpath, and bouncing back off the ropes, he hits Warpath with a running drop kick. Dude follows that up with a legdrop, then goes up top for and dives off with a flying legdrop.
JR: Here’s a pin!
1
2
Kickout!
JR: Warpath is just not gonna stay down!
Warpath rises to his feet, and CJ charges. Warpath tries for the big boot. CJ side steps slightly and hits a dragon screw leg whip. Warpath hits the mat clutching his knee.
B: Well, that’s it for Warpath.
JR: It looks like Dude is going for the figure four.
Indeed, JR is right as Dude steps over, wrapping Warpath’s leg around his. Suddenly, Warpath snatches him behind the neck and rolls him up in a small package!
1

3!
Mic: Your winner, Warpath!
CJ Dude kicks the ropes and curses his luck, but he then helps Warpath to his feet, and raises Warpath’s hand.
JR: That’s good sportsmanship!
B: That sucks!
Announcer: The following tag match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first the team of Deth and Razor, weighing in at 509 pounds, DETH SQUAD!
(The arena goes black)
"How many people wanna Kick Some Ass!"
(As the opening riffs play a stream of fireworks shoot towards the entrance way and explode along with a loud crash of guitars and drums. Razor and Deth step out from behind the curtain to a chorus of boos. They appear to be mouthing off to the crowd as they make their way down the ramp to the ring. The big screen shows shots of Deth and Razor in their return to the IEW as masked men, and shots from the battle royal. The enter the ring still yelling out at the crowd amongst the boos.)
"How many people wanna Kick Some Ass... I do... I do"
(Both men then focus in on the upcoming match.)
Announcer: And their opponents, Hiro Sasuke and Kyle Shane, weighing in at 449 pounds, THE GAME BOYZ!
Yeah, press the start button
Tell these hoes to press the start button
Punch in your code and press the start button
And let the motherfuckin' games begin bitch!
("Just Press the Start Button" by Ludacris plays over the speakers as multicolored lights flash on the stage. Kyle Shane and Hiro Sasuke walk out onto the stage, and then they look at each other in unison, and when they look back to the crowd they flash a grin and a thumbs up. They walk down the aisle and climb in the ring, and when they get in they talk strategy, and then they slap hands in a high five.)
JR: And this match is underway.
B: Who cares, we know Deth and Razor are old and Hiro and Kyle are awesome, do we need to waste any more time?
JR: We'll see about that.
(The bell rings and Deth and Kyle start by circling each other. Both men exchange right hands for a moment, then as the larger Deth begins overpowering Kyle, Kyle knees him in the gut, doubling Deth over. Then Kyle is able to get the upper hand where he executes a snapmare where Deth is left in the sitting up position, then he hits a drop kick to the back of Deth. Kyle gets up and then locks him in a rear chinlock. Deth screams out in pain. Kyle puts more pressure onto Deth. Deth begins shaking, and as the crowd begins to get begin them somewhat, he starts getting to his feet. He elbows Kyle off and starts to give Kyle some punches but Kyle rakes his eyes, and he pulls Deth over to the ropes to choke Deth. Referee Stevenson tells Kyle to break it up, and Kyle breaks off at the four count. Kyle gets up and stomps several times on the back of Deth. Then Kyle drags Deth by the foot to his corner where he tags in Hiro. Hiro gets in and Kyle gets on all fours as Hiro runs to the ropes, and Hiro hops up and uses Kyle's back as a springboard to hit a shooting star press onto the prone Deth. Then Kyle gets to the outside as Hiro goes for the cover.)
One… Kickout.
(It is quickly broken up by Razor. Razor goes back to the corner followed by Stevenson. Kyle lifts Deth up and plants him with a swinging neckbreaker, then he applies a neck vise submission, cranking Deth's head to the side. Deth yells and flails his arms in agony. The ref asks Deth if he gives up, but Deth refuses. Deth's arms begin shaking with adrenaline, as he slowly begins getting to his feet, and Kyle tries to hold on to the submission but Deth gets to his knees, then to his feet and he begins flinging elbows at Kyle's midsection until Kyle releases the hold. Deth backs up, running off the ropes, and then as he comes running in Kyle sidesteps and droptoeholds Deth down to the mat. As Deth is on the mat, Kyle comes running in with a low dropkick to the temple. Deth flops to his back. Kyle tags in Hiro, who charges in and hits a senton splash across the chest of Deth. Hiro covers...)
One...
Two... Kickout.
(Hiro drops a few elbows across the chest of Deth, then goes back to applying a side headlock. Deth struggles with it, finally struggles to his feet, and pushes Hiro off. He grabs Hiro's hair from behind and yanks down, slamming his head to the mat. Then he goes over to tag in Razor. Razor lays Hiro in the corner and slaps him in the chest, hard. He hauls back and does it again. Hiro screams, and holds his chest. Kyle is trying to get in the ring now, and Deth chokes Hiro with the tag rope as Razor boots him in the stomach. Shane Stevenson turns around, and Deth turns away innocently, whistling. Razor, meanwhile, lifts Hiro up and drops him with a backbreaker. Then, he covers.)
One...
Tw... No, Kyle breaks it up.
JR: That could have cost the Game Boyz if not for Kyle.
(Razor charges Kyle, and Kyle cuts him off with a clothesline. He turns around, and is met with a big boot from Deth. He tosses Kyle out of the ring, and turns back to Hiro. Deth and Razor together lift Hiro and plant him with a double suplex. Hiro arches his back in pain. Deth hooks Hiro up in a bear hug and then Razor comes off the top rope with a Bulldog Lariat.)
JR: Shiver Me Timbers!
B: What is this, talk like a pirate day?
(Referee Shane Stevenson orders Deth to leave the ring, and Razor drops down to pin Hiro.)
One...
Two... Kickout.
(Razor tries to lift Hiro to his feet, but Hiro fights back with elbows to the midsection. Hiro kicks Razor in the hamstring a few times, trying to take him off his feet, then runs to the ropes and comes off with a low dropkick that hits Razor in the knee. Razor stumbles and falls to his knees, as Hiro springboards off the middle rope and comes off with a DDT, planting Razor. Hiro tags in Kyle, and then they motion to Deth, saying "This is how we do it". They both take one of Razor's arms, cross them around Razor's throat as they pull him back to the mat with a neckbreaker.)
JR: Tech Support!
B: I think both teams are engaging in a bit of one upmanship in the teamwork department.
(The two plant Razor with a double Russian legsweep. Hiro holds his arms up to the crowd, prompting them to boo. Shane Stevenson tells Hiro to leave the ring, and they argue for a second as Kyle begins choking Razor behind his back, then finally Hiro says "Allright, I'm going, I'm going". Shane spots the choking. After a moment of Shane warning Kyle about a disqualification, and Kyle proclaiming his innocence, Kyle goes and begins to pick up Razor, who busts out rights and lefts to his gut. Razor gives Kyle some right hands, and then he whips Kyle into the corner. Kyle hits chest first and stumbles out, as Razor comes running past him and then follows it up with a running bulldog. Razor covers...)
One..
Two... Kickout.
(Razor tags in Deth. Deth backs Kyle up to the ropes, whipping him to the opposite side, and taking Kyle down with a charging shoulder block on the return. Kyle rolls to his feet and Deth takes him back down with a harsh body slam. Kyle arches his back. Deth peels him up off the mat, hooks him in position and hits a gutwrench suplex. Then he drags Kyle’s body over to his corner and tags in Razor again. Razor gets in and begins stomping at Kyle’s body. Razor lifts Kyle up and hits a snap suplex. Razor takes a moment to play to the crowd. Then he begins to lift Kyle back to his feet and Kyle tries to fight back. Razor gets the upper hand with clubs to the back, and he plants Kyle with a double arm DDT. Razor goes for a pin.)
One...
Two... Kickout.
(Razor gets up and locks in a chinlock with a knee digging into the back of Kyle. Deth begins cheering on Razor as Hiro is doing his best to get Kyle out of this match verbally.)
JR: It looks like Razor has the upper hand now.
(Kyle begins fighting his way back to his feet. He elbows Razor in the stomach, and then he twists around and performs a jawbreaker, throwing Razor off. Kyle follows it up with a double knee facebuster. Razor stumbles backward, all the way into his corner. Deth tags in, comes in to back up Razor. Kyle is reaching towards Hiro for a tag, crawling for it. Deth tries to stop it, but he's too late. Hiro is tagged in and he hops over the ropes, taking Deth down with a hurricanrana. Deth gets back to his feet and charges Hiro. Hiro gives Deth a spinning back kick to the gut. Hiro quickly gets up and sets him up for the tornado DDT. Then Razor gets towards Hiro with Deth, and Hiro jumps up and twists, kicking Razor in the face and sending him down, after which he hits the tornado DDT on Deth.)
JR: Hiro just took out both men in one move!
B: That's why he's the Overlord, and they are scum!
(Hiro pleads with Deth to get up, and when he does get to his knees he receives a shining wizard-like kick to the head. Deth rolls to the outside, and he tries to regain his bearings. with his arms spread wide, Hiro runs across the apron and does a Shooting Star over to the ropes and off of the apron to his opponent on the ground below.)
JR: Look! I'm Asian!
B: We haven't seen Hiro do that in awhile.
(Hiro gets to his feet, and he tries to lift Deth up, but Deth, using all his muscle, whips Hiro into the steel steps with a loud crash. Deth takes a moment to recover. Shane Stevenson begins counting them out. Deth rolls in, then rolls back out and he lifts Hiro up, slamming his head off the security rail several times. He lifts Hiro up and rolls him back inside, but Hiro slides back to the outside quickly. A frustrated Deth follows Hiro back outside, only for Hiro to slither back in the ring. Deth chases after him, and Hiro runs across the ring and slides out the other side. Deth charges around the side, only for Hiro to have disappeared back into the ring. As Deth is sliding into the ring once again, in between the middle ropes, Hiro has climbed up onto the top rope and he comes off with a leg drop bulldog to the back of Deth's head.)
JR: Deth may have just been outsmarted!
B: That's not hard to do.
(Hiro tags in Kyle. Kyle motions for Deth to get up, and then as he does Deth eats a superkick.)
JR: Cutscene!
(Kyle pins Deth.)
One...
Two...
Thre... Razor breaks it up.
(Razor lifts Kyle up and gives him a reverse underhook DDT. Both Deth and Kyle are laid out for a moment as Razor goes back to his corner. Deth slowly begins to stir, as does Kyle. Deth rolls over and tags in Razor. Razor gets in the ring and begins stomping on Kyle. He lifts Kyle up and gives him a vertebreaker.)
JR: Kyle just absorbed the Cutlass, and now he may be gone!
(Razor locks Kyle in a submission maneuver like a Boston crab (think the Lion Tamer) with a knee in the back. Kyle yells in pain and thrashes around. Referee Stevenson asks if he gives up. Kyle won't, but he may go at any moment, as his hand is wavering over the mat. Suddenly, Hiro breaks it up. Razor gets up, and the two have a confrontation. Kyle begins recuperating. Razor goes back to Kyle and tries lifting him up. Kyle then attempts a kick and Razor grabs his foot, then Kyle just executes an enziguri. Razor gets a bit dizzy as he tries to shake the cobwebs out. During this duration, Kyle gets to the top rope. Razor finally gets the cobwebs out and then turns towards the corner where Kyle is just to receive a blockbuster from the top rope.)
JR: Oh my! Kyle just hit the RPG!
B: Oh yeah! Raging Pain-Gasm!
(An exhausted Kyle slowly makes his way over and covers Razor.)
One…
Two…
Three... Deth makes the save.
(Shane Stevenson tells Deth to get back in his corner. Kyle gets up and sees Razor is still on the mat. Hiro begs for the tag and Kyle tags him in. Hiro comes out as Razor gets to all fours. Hiro runs and drop kicks Razor in the head. Hiro begins to try and lift Razor, but Razor just pushes Hiro off and Hiro launches off the ropes. Hiro comes back and Razor tries to clothesline him, and Hiro ducks the clothesline. Hiro then comes back and comes back with a reverse wheel borrow counter onto Razor which afterwards he drops Razor with a bulldog (ala Rey Mysterio). Hiro gets up and covers.)
One…
Two…
Three... Kickout.
(Hiro gets to his feet, and he begins to lift Razor up, but Razor slides around behind Hiro and pushes him forward, so that Hiro goes sailing into the corner, hitting the turnbuckle chest first. Hiro stumbles out, holding his chest, and then Razor charges to the ropes behind the dazed Hiro, taking him down with a bulldog. Hiro begins crawling towards Kyle, as he tries to shake the cobwebs out. Razor cuts him off with an axehandle to the back. Razor lifts him up, peppering him with rights. Razor whips Hiro into a neutral corner, and comes charging in for a splash, but Hiro nimbly slips between the top and middle ropes to the apron, and Razor hits the turnbuckle chest first, and he goes staggering away.)
JR: Razor just crashed and burned.
B: Razor... burn! Get it?
JR: Ugh, you're strange.
(Hiro then uses the ropes to slingshot himself high into the ring, taking Razor down with a 360 corkscrew body press. Both men are down from this move, Shane begins checking on both parties, as both men are still down. Finally, he begins a ten-count.
One...
Two…
Three...
Four... Hiro begins to stir...
Five... Razor is shaking the cobwebs out...
Six... Hiro quickly crawls to his corner and tags in Kyle.
(Kyle gets in as Razor begins to crawl to his corner. Kyle begins to get closer to Razor and grabs his leg. Razor brings his leg to himself, then he uses his other foot to boot Kyle off. Kyle flails back and hits the mat and Razor gets to his corner and tags Deth in.)
JR: What a great match this is. Granted there has been some dirty fighting from the Game Boyz. Yet it’s been pretty good overall.
B: Yeah and it’ll be even better when the Game Boyz win and Deth Squad just... goes away again.
(Deth gets in and hoists Kyle up. He boots Kyle in the gut and quickly finishes him off with a stunner.)
JR: Deth just hit the Deth Strike!
(Deth covers...)
One…
Two...
Three... Kyle gets his foot on the rope.
JR: What ring presence by Kyle Shane.
B: And that’s why they’ll win.
(Deth is obviously frustrated. He runs his hands through his hair before going to Kyle and dragging him to the middle of the ring. Deth then locks in a crippler crossface. Kyle screams in pain. Shane asks if he gives up but Kyle refuses, and tries crawling to the ropes. The bigger Deth keeps him grounded in the middle of the ring. And then Hiro comes in and makes the save by dropkicking Deth in the face. Deth hits the mat and Kyle grabs his arm in pain. Both parties are down, as Shane makes Hiro go back to his corner. Hiro and Shane argue for a second, then he goes back to his territory. Kyle starts to crawl to his corner. Deth slowly follows and then he grabs Kyle’s foot and he barely makes the tag then Hiro runs in and front dropkicks Deth in the face. Hiro quickly gets to the top and hits a double foot stomp onto Deth’s chest.)
JR: Disconnection!
(Deth rolls over and Razor tags himself in. Razor charges at Hiro and Kyle, but they both catch him and give him a double uranagi suplex, throwing him to the mat. Then, they both go to opposing turnbuckles, and Kyle and Hiro come off the top ropes, Kyle coming off the top rope with a guillotine legdrop across Razor's throat as Hiro comes off the opposite rope with a corkscrew senton across the midsection.)
JR: First the Control/Alt/Delete, then the Dual-Shock!
(Hiro goes for a pin.)
One...
Two...
Three... Kickout.
(Hiro tags in Kyle. Kyle measures Razor for a moment. Behind their back, Deth has retrieved a steel chair, and he hits Hiro over the back with it. Hiro stumbles and nearly falls off the apron, but Deth gives him a second chairshot. Then Deth rolls into the ring and Kyle turns, and Deth blasts him with the steel chair, causing referee Stevenson to immediately order the bell rung for disqualification.)
JR: Deth got his team disqualified, but I don't think he cares!
(Deth lifts Kyle up as he positions the chair and then he drills Kyle headfirst into it with a DDT. Kyle rolls around on the mat, as Razor retrieves another chair. The two of them then take their chairs and wait for Hiro to slide in the ring, and they nail him with a double chairshot conchairto. Deth calls for a mic.)
Deth: Now that's old school.
(Deth drops the mic and both he and Razor have grins on thier faces. Razor does look in pain but both men slide out of the ring and walk up the ramp still holding the steel chairs with the dents in them.)
B: I don't understand what that proved. That they can hit people with chairs? Whoopty doo. That's not old school, it's just lame.
JR: I think it was more about sending a message that they're not washed up.
B: It didn't work.
JR: I think the Game Boyz beg to differ.
B: If they do then someone better tell them to insert coin, regain power, and get over it.
The Mic: The following is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, the team of CROCODILE AND CHICKEN CHARLIE!!
(The infamous “Chicken Dance” plays in the arena as Chicken Charlie and Crocodile enter through the curtain. Chicken Charlie hops and flaps his wings to the tune of the song. A few fans are seen dancing to the music, but most are just laughing. Crocodile makes his way to the ring, focused on the match at hand, not seeming to notice the cheesy music. Chicken slaps a few hands of the crowd before entering the ring himself.)
The Mic: And their opponents, Amiko Yashida and Jessica Matheson... BLAAAAAAACK ROOOOOOSE!
"Clock is ticking while I'm killing time
Spinning all around
Nothing else that you can do
To turn it back
Wicked partnership in this crime..."
("Our Truth" by Lacuna Coil hits the speakers as Amiko and Jessica enter the ramp. Jessica looks at Amiko with a smile, as Amiko stays focused ahead. They make their way to the ring, causing a stir from the males in the audience and a modicum of jealousy from the female contingent.)
"Ripping off the best
Condescending smile trying to forget (Wasting my time)
We're falling right through
Lying to forget (Telling more lies)
We're raising our truth
Go on and tease me..."
(They climb onto the apron, as Amiko stands, as aloof as ever, and Jessica kneels beside her. They enter the ring, and Jessica begins giving Amiko advice about the match.)
JR: So, it seems we'll see Black Rose in action against this revival of the Beastly Squad.
Brutus: Croc replacing Lion in the Beastly Squad with Chicken Charlie is like Axl Rose replacing Slash in Guns N' Roses with, well, whoever the hell they have now.
JR: To be fair, he won a reality competition.
Brutus: Ahh, that explains so much.
(The bell rings and Croc and Jessica go to start things off. Jessica shoots forward under Croc's outstretched arms and twists his arm into an armwringer. He reverses, twisting her injured arm. Jessica shouts in pain as Croc yanks her around, and then she performs a cartwheel to relieve some pressure. She switches around behind Croc, and applies a hammerlock, but he quickly knocks her off. He takes her down with an arm drag. He starts to apply the arm bar, but Jessica rakes his eyes. A furious Jessica begins driving elbow shots into the flustered Croc, as she backs him up to the ropes. She begins kicking him and elbowing him harder. Referee Tina Garcia tells Jessica to let him out of the ropes. Jessica and Tina argue, and then Jessica boots Croc in the gut. She jumps on his back and applies a sleeper hold, thrashing around and shouting as she sinks it in.)
JR: Jessica is showing a much more aggressive side tonight than usual.
Brutus: She's like a good girl that just can't help being bad. Go on, Jessica, be bad, I won't tell.
(Croc throws Jessica over his shoulder. She holds her backside in pain. Croc waits for Jessica to get up before he takes her down with a neckbreaker. Croc tries to get some air back into his lungs. He snarls at Jessica and begins booting her. He lifts her up, clubbing her over the back. He then holds her arm straight out and then falls back into an armbreaker. Jessica contorts around, holding her injured arm, and Croc takes the time to apply a Fujiwara armbar, pulling back on the injured limb. Croc yells for her to submit, and Tina asks Jessica if she gives up, but Jessica shouts "No!" Amiko is frantically trying to will her partner on. Jessica tries to push herself up, but Croc is using all of his weight advantage over her. Croc tightens his grip. Jessica begins elbowing him in the side of the head with her free arm, and finally Croc lets go. Croc shakes the cobwebs out of his head. Jessica is trying to get some feeling back into her arm. Croc lifts Jessica up and plants her with a snap suplex. He walks over to his corner, and teases tagging in Chicken Charlie, but says he's not ready.)
Brutus: It's kinda sad that Croc can't even trust this rookie to take care of a girl Jessica's size, yet.
JR: I don't know, maybe it's not about experience. You've been doing this a long time and I can't trust you to do anything the right way.
Brutus: Of course I -- hey!!
(Croc lifts Jessica up, but she violently rakes his eyes. She boots him in the gut and then she unloads on him with a flurry of elbow shots. She tags in Amiko, boots Croc in the gut, and they double suplex him. Amiko gets a running start and then hits a rolling thunder senton across his chest. She goes for the pin.)
1... Kickout.
(Amiko lifts Croc up, but he uses his strength to hot shot her onto the top rope. Amiko falls back, holding her throat. Croc boots her for a moment. He goes to pick her up, but she slides in between his legs. Before he can turn around, she jumps up and dropkicks him in the back, sending him sailing forward into the turnbuckle. Croc hits chest first and stumbles out, holding his chest. He turns right into a step-up enziguri from Amiko. Croc wobbles for a second, then falls. Amiko tags in Jessica, and the girls simultaneously give Croc a doubleteam jumping knee facebuster, both of them drop down to their backs, pulling their knees up into Croc's jaw.)
JR: There's the Blackthorn!
(Instead of pinning, Jessica takes a second to choke Croc using her boot with an intense look on her face. Amiko gives her a worried look. Tina tells Amiko to get back in her corner, and Amiko goes, glancing at Jessica on the way out.)
JR: It seems that, in Jessica's mind, she's seeing Christian Stylez in Croc's place.
Brutus: But Croc isn't Christian Stylez, because Christian Stylez is much cooler!... Rob Hanes pays me to say stuff like that.
(Jessica lifts Croc up, clubbing him over the back. He gives her a hard elbow to the gut, and then a jawbreaker. Croc grips Jessica's arm and irish whips her to the ropes, but then at the last second she drops down, pushing herself up using her arm strength and catching a charging Croc with her legs around his head. She takes him down with a quick hurricanrana, flinging him forward into the middle turnbuckle. Croc gets up, holding his mouth, and Jessica takes him down with an Osaka street cutter. Jessica has an intense look on her face. She measures for Croc to get up, and then as he does she goes for a leg drop bulldog, but Croc pulls his head out of the way. Jessica lands on the mat, and when she turns around Croc knees her in the gut and gives her a pendulum backbreaker. Then, Croc lifts Jessica up and plants her with a Gory bomb. Croc walks over and tags in Chicken Charlie, telling him now he's ready. Charlie immediately goes for a pin.)
JR: Chicken Charlie may pick up the win for his team, like he laid a golden egg!
1...
2... Kickout.
(Croc yells at Chicken Charlie to stay on her. Charlie runs and drops a leg across her throat. He looks at Croc, giving him a thumbs up as if looking for approval. Croc shakes his head in frustration. He points at Jessica, who is trying to crawl to her corner. Chicken Charlie jumps in and axehandles her over the back. He pulls Jessica back out into the middle of the ring and he applies a camel clutch with an arm trapped. Jessica yells and shouts in pain. Croc is telling Chicken Charlie to keep the pressure on, coaching him. Amiko is trying to get the crowd behind Jessica. Finally, Jessica is able to reach out with her free hand and grab the bottom rope. Tina makes Chicken Charlie release the hold. Charlie looks at Croc for what to do. Croc yells at him. Chicken Charlie lifts Jessica up and plants her with a spinebuster. Then, he grins, satisfied and happy that he got to cop a feel in the process. Once he realizes, however, he drops down for a pin.)
1...
2... Kickout.
Brutus: I have to say, I'm loving this guy's enthusiasm for the fine art of human chess... or at least masking a little hand action in with the "grappling".
JR: That's incredibly inappropriate.
Brutus: That's what Deborah in the office said... stupid restraining order...
JR: Okay, that's creepy.
(Chicken Charlie applies a chickenwing crossface on Jessica. Jessica yells in pain as he wrenches the hold. Tina asks if Jessica gives up. Jessica shouts "No!" She struggles, but he won't let her go anywhere. Jessica begins to fade. Chicken Charlie lets out a triumphant crow.)
Brutus: Did he just... announce the sunrise?
JR: I think that meant impending victory... or possibly he laid an egg.
Brutus: You're enjoying this!
JR: Nooo, that would be foul.
Brutus: Stop it!
(Amiko comes in to make the save with a low dropkick to the temple of Chicken Charlie. He falls back to the mat. Jessica is trying to get to her feet. Chicken Charlie shakes the cobwebs out of his head, and he spots Amiko. He runs at her, but she drops off the apron. Chicken Charlie points and shouts at her for a moment. Croc tells Charlie to watch Jessica. Charlie turns and he sees Jessica trying to crawl away and he gives her an axehandle over the back. Chicken Charlie then runs to the ropes, and he stops before Jessica, performing the moves of the Chicken Dance before dropping an elbow on her for the pin.)
JR: The Chicken Dance!
1...
2... Kickout.
Brutus: Millions of German people everywhere just had an aneurysm at seeing that atrocity. And if anyone knows atrocities, it's the Germans.
JR: You could say that they cried foul!
Brutus: ENOUGH WITH THE CHEESY CHICKEN JOKES!
JR: Don't lay an egg, Brutus.
Brutus: You were so much more bearable when you were a humorless sissy.
(Chicken Charlie walks over to the turnbuckle, and he climbs up, and begins flapping his arms. An enraged Croc shouts "What are you doing?!" but Chicken Charlie tells him to watch this. He goes for a splash, but Jessica rolls out of the way. Chicken Charlie rolls around on the mat, and he immediately scoots over and tags in Croc. Croc shakes his head at how pathetic his protege is, and he grabs Jessica's foot, pulling her away from the tag with Amiko. Croc applies a bridging deathlock. Jessica shouts in pain as she is twisted around. Croc wrenches the hold for a moment, but Jessica refuses to tap out. Finally, Croc releases the hold. He boots Jessica for a moment, and then he tags in Chicken Charlie, giving him instructions. Charlie gives Jessica a backbreaker and stretches her across his knee and then Croc climbs to the top rope and gives her a leg drop at the same time. A wounded Jessica falls back to the mat. Croc tells Chicken Charlie to pin her.)
1...
2... Kickout.
(Chicken Charlie tags Croc back in. Croc gives Jessica a fist drop. He lifts her up and Chicken Charlie and Croc double suplex her. Croc then walks over to the turnbuckle and flies off, hitting a 450 splash. He grins triumphantly, and Tina counts the pin.)
JR: Jessica is in trouble!
Brutus: At last, no stupid puns!
1...
2... Kickout.
(Croc lifts Jessica up, and he clubs her over the back. He whips her into the corner, and he comes charging in for a splash, but she ducks to the outside apron from between the ropes. Croc hits the turnbuckle chest first and comes stumbling out, as Jessica springs up to the top rope and comes off with a crossbody, taking them both down. Tina begins a ten-count. 1...2...3... both parties start to stir...4...5...6... Croc is shaking the cobwebs out... 7... Jessica tries to roll to her feet....8... Both parties are up and Jessica begins hitting Croc with forearm shots, but he knees her in the gut. He plants her with a vicious DDT. Jessica looks out cold. Croc drops down for a pin.)
1...
2...
3... Kickout.
(Croc tags in Chicken Charlie. Charlie lifts Jessica up, clubbing her over the back, and Jessica drops down to all fours. Charlie lifts Jessica and gives her a second club to the back with similar results, then a third. Croc instructs Charlie not to let up on her. Charlie grabs Jessica in a bearhug and begins grinding her around. Jessica thrashes violently. After a moment in the bear hug, she looks like she's going to fade. Tina begins to check her arm, and drops it once, twice... on the third time, her arm stays in the air, and she rakes Charlie's eyes. Charlie shrieks, and releases the hold. Jessica is trying to make it to her corner, but Charlie clubs her over the back. He spins Jessica around, grabs her arms in a double underhook, and lifts her up for a pancake slam.)
JR: There's the Fried Frenzy! It could be over!
Brutus: That wasn't so finger licking good for Jessica -- Oh, crap, now you got me doing it!!
(Charlie pins...)
1...
2...
3... (Amiko breaks it up.)
JR: Amiko just saved her partner in a big way!
(Amiko gives Charlie a roundhouse kick to the side of the head. Croc charges at her, and she ducks the swing of a clothesline. Croc turns around right into a superkick from Amiko. Tina is telling Amiko to get out of the ring, and she goes back to her corner, and leans out to hold her hand for a tag. Jessica starts crawling to her corner, and she comes within a few inches of Amiko's hand, but Charlie grabs her foot and tries to pull her out. Jessica twists around and gives him an enziguri. Charlie drops down to one knee, and Jessica takes him down with a buzzsaw kick. Jessica then tags in Amiko, and Amiko climbs to the top rope as Jessica runs to the ropes. Amiko flies off the top rope, coming off with a moonsault double foot stomp to the chest of Charlie, then Jessica follows up by springing off the second rope with a hands free Lionsault across the sternum. Amiko goes for a cover.)
JR: Great teamwork by the ladies! They really roasted Charlie!
Brutus: What's happening here?! I make all the bad jokes! Me!!
1...
2...
3... (Croc breaks it up.)
JR: And another close save.
(Jessica comes up behind Croc and dumps him over the top rope with a dropkick, then she flies over the ropes with a suicide dive, taking them both down. Amiko tries to lift the bigger Charlie up, but he pushes her away with force. Amiko gets to her feet, right into a big boot from Charlie. He then turns to the outside, to see Croc and Jessica fighting on the outside. Charlie begins asking his mentor what to do, but Croc can't answer. He turns back to Amiko, and then he finds her spring off the second rope. She twists around with a headscissors before applying an armbar/neck submission.)
JR: Amiko has the Exodus locked in out of nowhere!
(Tina asks Charlie if he'll give up, and he responds with a loud clucking call of agony, but he doesn't want to give up. Amiko is hanging on, twisting the submission in, and Charlie drops to to his back. Amiko still won't let go. Tina checks his arm and rules that Charlie has been knocked out. Amiko ruthlessly keeps the hold locked on for a second. Tina orders the bell rung over and over. Finally, Amiko lets go.)
The Mic: Here are your winners.... BLAAAAAAAACK ROOOOOOOSE!
JR: Chicken Charlie was just brought down by that incapacitating maneuver!
Brutus: I think Amiko is saving that for Christian and PerfectSean at the pay-per-view.
(Amiko gets to her feet, and Jessica rolls into the ring. The two have a staredown for a moment, and then they quietly confer. Jessica congratulates her young charge. Croc gets in the ring, shouting at Chicken Charlie as Amiko and Jessica exit the ring.)
JR: Say what you want, but those two ladies tonight showed a serious message to the KOC, that they are getting ready for war.
(The arena lights dim to a pale blue filter as the IEW-tron screen fills with static. Suddenly, the opening chords of "Aenima" by Tool filter through the PA.]
The Mic: The Main Event of the evening is scheduled for one-fall. Introducing first, weighing in at a combined weight of 1230 pounds, lead by the IEW World Heavyweight Champion Jason Twisted... They are the INNER CIRCLE!!!
[The crowd boos as the words "Welcome to the School of Punishment" flash on the screen through the static, and then the static is replaced by images of Twisted using various moves, locking in the Straight and Narrow and School's Out submissions, hitting people with his kendo stick, nailing the Twisted Cut.)
Some say the end is near,
Some say we'll see armageddon soon,
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow
(Slowly, Jason Twisted emerges from the back, wearing his "School of Punishment" hoodie, his head tilted down. He's carrying his kendo stick in one hand, and the World title belt slung over his shoulder. He slowly looks up as the camera gets a shot of his face looking around the arena with a snarl, then he turns to the ring. Suddenly, Sicko and Hightower walk out behind him. The three of them stand on the entrance for a second, then Twisted makes his way down the ramp with Sicko and Hightower following behind, and Twisted slowly climbs up onto the apron. He turns to stand on the apron facing the crowd, his head bowed, and then he holds his arms out at his side in a crucifix pose.)
Cause I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way,
I wanna watch it all go down,
Mom please flush it all away,
I wanna watch it go right in and down,
I wanna watch it go right in,
Watch you flush it all away...
Time to bring it down again,
Don't just call me pessimist,
Try and read between the lines,
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend,
I wanna see it all come down.
(He tilts back his head and screams to the crowd, and pushes his hood back, as the song fades out. Hightower, Sicko and Twisted confer in the ring, as "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails plays over the PA as Christian Stylez, Rob Hanes, and PerfectSean come walking out onto the stage. Spiral stays in the background, looming large and menacing.]
The Mic: And making their way to the ring, their opponents. Standing at a combined weight of 768 pounds and lead by the IEW Intercontinental Champion Christian Stylez... THE K.O.C.!!!
[Rob Hanes laughs and he makes rude gestures to the crowd around them, straightening his business jacket with a big grin. Christian smirks and PerfectSean has a cocky smile on. They walk down to the ring, as Spiral snarls around at the crowd. Stylez motions to the ring, and all four men make their way down the ramp.)
B: While that was a good introduction, I have to correct poor Mic and say that he mis-pronounced Christian Stylez stable name.
JR: How so? He pronounced it as the K.O.C.
B: True, he did. But the stable abbreviation isn't meant to be said by each individual letter; it's meant to be said all at once.
JR: I don't think I can say that on television.
B: I don't think you can say that at all as cowardly as you are sometimes.
JR: Alright, I'll say it. The coke!!
B: The coke?! Jimmy, they may be a classic in the making, but you clearly aren't thinking correctly.
[Shane Stevenson calls for a member from both teams to meet in the middle of the ring, and Christian Stylez and Jason Twisted both step forward to a big positive crowd reaction, with their partners going through the ropes. Shane Stevenson calls for the bell to start the match.]
***DING***DING***DING***
[The crowd continues to be electrifying for the start of this match as Christian Stylez slowly takes a couple steps towards Jason Twisted with Twisted not moving an inch. Jason Twisted then looks off to each side at the crowd before looking back at Christian Stylez, and then reaching over and tagging in Hightower to a chorus of boos.]
JR: I can't believe Jason Twisted doesn't want to face Christian Stylez.
B: Oh he wants to alright, but with the way Christian Stylez talked about having respect for Hightower most of the week, Twisted apparently wants Hightower to prove his loyalty to him right now by squaring off against... are you ready for this Jimmy? The KOC (pronounced "cock").
JR: Brutus!! Don't say that again!!! I just heard televisions click off around the world!!!
B: Only in your mother's home Jimmy. With a high profile match like this, I think most viewers would have their tolerances built up for unexpected degradation by now.
[Hightower steps into the ring and walks up to Christian Stylez. They share a few unheard words of respect before circling the ring. Hightower goes for a clothesline, but Christian ducks it and goes behind him. As soon as Hightower turns around, he is met with a punch to the face. Christian Stylez then backs off, and they share a few more words. This time Hightower keeps slowly stepping closer, cutting off valuable ring space as he backs Christian into a corner. Christian Stylez tries to run past Hightower, but Hightower grabs him and throws him down to the canvas. Hightower backs off, pointing at Christian Styles as if to say they're even as Christian Stylez lifts himself up off of the canvas. They circle around the ring again before Hightower begins cutting the ring off for a second time. This time, instead of backing up into the corner, Christian Stylez goes after Hightower's legs, trying to pull the big man off balance; but his reward for trying is a hard forearm across his back that sends him to the canvas pinching his elbows together behind his back. Hightower then lifts Christian Stylez up off of the canvas and gives him a headbutt, sending Christian Stylez back down to the canvas, shaking his head as he struggles to regain his sense of balance and rise back up to his feet. Hightower helps him do so as he props him up in a corner with his arms draped over the top ropes on each side. Hightower then rares back and comes down with a vicious chop across Stylez's chest that sends him diving to the middle of the ring clutching his chest and kicking his feet. Hightower then lifts Christian Stylez up to his feet again, but this time Stylez fights back with a series of punches to Hightower's midsection before running and hitting the ropes, returning only to get put to the canvas with a hard forearm. Hightower then climbs up onto the middle rope and dives off with a splash on top of Christian Stylez.]
JR: Aftershocks and a cover by Hightower!!

[And a kickout by Christian Stylez. Hightower lifts Christian Stylez up to his feet, but Stylez grabs Hightower's head and drops back down to the canvas delivering a jawbreaker. Christian Stylez then gets back up to his feet, giving Hightower punch after punch after punch until he begins to stagger. Christian Stylez then runs and bounces off the far-side ropes, returning with a flying forearm smash that sends Hightower back into the rope, and then falling down to one knee. Christian Stylez then goes over to his corner and tags in PerfectSean. PerfectSean enters in ring and approaches Hightower, but as soon as he does Hightower rises to his feet and gives PerfectSean a big boot to avoid. PerfectSean begins dancing around the ring, trying to confuse Hightower with his moves until Hightower goes for a lockup on PerfectSean and fails to immediately connect. PerfectSean tries to go behind, but Hightower this time stays with him, this time grabbing him successfully. PerfectSean tries to fight off Hightower's powerful grip with a series of punches, but to no avail as Hightower raises his knee up into PerfectSean's midsection leaving him stooped over gasping for air. Hightower then connects with a powerful right punch to stand PerfectSean up straight, and follows it up with a pickup and a bodyslam. Hightower then lifts PerfectSean up into an inverted facelock before coming over with his other arm and planting an elbow into PerfectSean's chest as he drives him back down to the canvas before going for a cover.]
JR: Hightower Wakes The Giant and heres another cover!!

[PerfectSean gets a shoulder up, and immediately Hightower grabs the raised arm. Hightower rises to his feet pulling PerfectSean up with him, and spins around applying pressure on PerfectSean's arm with an arm wringer. Hightower then jerks repeatedly on his arm as if he is trying to pull it out of socket. PerfectSean tries to grab onto Hightower with his free arm to keep from getting pulled apart, but as he does Hightower changes tactics and begins driving his shoulder into PerfectSean's shoulder, further compounding the damage he just inflicted. Hightower performs another arm wringer before locking on with a front facelock and lifting PerfectSean straight up into the air for a suplex, but PerfectSean breaks free of the attempt, and grabs Hightower's head, taking him down to the canvas with a neckbreaker. Hightower is on the canvas rolling around, holding his head and kicking his feet. PerfectSean gets up, shakes his arm out, and then dives on Hightower with an elbow drop to his chest, getting up and repeating again and again, until finally PerfectSean decides to test Hightower out with a pinfall attempt.]

[Hightower kicks out. PerfectSean and Hightower begin rising up to their feet, but as Hightower starts to get off his knees, PerfectSean locks on a chinlock. Hightower tries to fight it, but as he tries to reach up and grab PerfectSean, PerfectSean leans to one side forcing Hightower to lower his arms and regain his balance to keep the applied pressure at a minimum. PerfectSean then tries wrenching Hightower's neck in the opposite direction, but after realizing just how stiff necked Hightower is, he decides to stand up and drive elbows down across the base of Hightower's clavical. Hightower is on all fours holding his shoulder, and PerfectSean sizes him up, coming in with a hard knee into the side of Hightower's head. Hightower, now dazed, rises to his feet, reaching his arm out for a tag in a neutral corner. Realizing that nobody is there, he turns and faces PerfectSean, who greets him with a series of rights before lowering down and driving his shoulder into Hightower's midsection. PerfectSean grabs Hightower in a side headlock and carries him over to his corner, reaching out to tag Spiral into the match. Spiral enters the ring and assists PerfectSean in sending Hightower into the ropes. Hightower returns to them with a double shoulderblock sending both PerfectSean and Spiral down to the canvas. PerfectSean rolls under the ropes, but Spiral rises quickly back up to his feet as he and Hightower begin trading punches. Hightower finally manages to get in close enough to Spiral to lock him up. Spiral tries to punch Hightower off of him as he is backed into a neutral corner. Hightower then goes for an overhead right that connects with nothing but turnbuckle as Spiral slips out of the corner before the impact. Hightower turns around and Spiral is waiting for him. They both lock up, and Spiral turns and gets a grip around Hightower's head with a side headlock. Hightower punches Spiral in the side with a series of hard rights, each one loosening the headlock until it no longer is applied. Hightower continues with the hard rights, pushing Spiral backwards. Then Hightower feints with a right and Spiral blocks for it, leaving himself open for Hightower to capitalize with a headbutt that knocks him back against the turnbuckles. Hightower then attacks with a left to Spiral's ribs, followed by a right that sends Spiral walking out of the corner rather gingerly for a moment. But he quickly recovers and hits the ropes, coming back with a punch of his own that sends Hightower's head to the side, followed by another. Then Hightower uppercuts Spiral in the midsection to stop his momentum in it's tracks. Hightower punches Spiral repeatedly, backing Spiral into the other neutral corner before punching him some more. Hightower gives Spiral a high knee and follows it up with another headbutt. Then Spiral fights back with a kick to Hightower's midsection, followed by a back elbow, and then another kick. Spiral then punches Hightower backwards before giving him a headbutt of his own that leaves Hightower leaning against the ropes near the Inner Circle corner. Sicko reaches over and tags Hightower's back as Spiral sends him in the direction of the far-side ropes, but is reversed. Sicko enters the ring as Spiral comes back, and together Hightower and Sicko, standing side by side, take Spiral down to the canvas with a double big boot. Hightower then goes to his corner as Spiral rolls over onto his stomach holding his head and kicking his feet. Sicko grabs Spiral's legs and wraps them around his waist as he lifts Spiral up into the air with a wheelbarrow lift, and slams him back down to the canvas with a facebuster.]
JR: Twisted Clown from Sicko and a cover!!!

[Spiral gets a shoulder up. Sicko grabs Spiral and rolls him over onto his knees before locking on a guillotine choke hold. Spiral flails his arms for a moment before wrapping them around Sicko's waist and begins driving him, one step at a time towards PerfectSean who has his arm extended. As they get closer to the corner, Spiral extends his arm out but is just out of reach. Sicko tries to push Spiral back towards the middle of the ring, but his best efforts just up-end them right where they stand. Spiral makes one more push for a tag, but as he does Sicko spins to the side and slams Spiral face-first into the canvas with the choke hold still applied. Sicko rises to his feet quickly elevating the hold. Spiral struggles up to his feet and tries to break the hold but can't. Spiral then reaches down between Sicko's legs and lifts up. Sicko releases the hold as he gets tosses over Spiral's head with a backdrop. Spiral tags in PerfectSean as Sicko rises up to his feet. Sicko launches himself up onto his feet and runs at PerfectSean attempting a clothesline. PerfectSean ducks and Sicko spins around to face him, and PerfectSean punches Sicko in the face repeatedly before locking on a side headlock. Almost immediately, Sicko lifts PerfectSean up and runs him straight into a neutral corner, ramming him against the turnbuckles. Sicko punches PerfectSean in the ribs, and then in the face, before PerfectSean begins fighting back trading out punches. Then Sicko raises his leg into PerfectSean's midsection and bends him over. Sicko then repeatedly hits PerfectSean with forearms across his back, followed up by elbows placed along the spinal column. Sicko then sends PerfectSean across the ring to the other neutral corner with a nearly uncontrollable amount of momentum. PerfectSean hits the turnbuckles chest first and staggers out backwards clutching his chest. Sicko then hits PerfectSean in his back with a forearm, bringing his arms out to his side, before hooking them by taking his arms over, wrapping under, and then pushing up on those of PerfectSean to suspend PerfectSean up in the air with an elevated double chickenwing.]
JR: According to what I learned before the show backstage, Sicko has been working on developing this move for some time. He calls it the Sideshow.
B: Let me guess, Hightower taught it to him and Jason Twisted named it.
JR: Why would you say that Jimmy?
B: Hightower has been doing this move for practically the whole time hes been here in the IEW. Add, in the Inner Circle, if you're not Jason Twisted, you're simply the side show.
JR: That wasn't very nice to say, not that I like any of them that much.
B: That may be so Jimmy, but that ring and what goes on inside it wasn't made for pleasantries.
[PerfectSean shakes his head left to right saying his won't give up for what seems like an eternity. Then, at that point, Sicko turns to face the Inner Circle corner, drops PerfectSean face-first across the top turnbuckle, grabs him in a waistlock from behind and tosses him over his head with a reverse German suplex in less time than it takes to make a pinfall. Jason Twisted gets a look on his face that says hes impressed, and Hightower is so excited he reaches in to give Sicko a high five. Jason Twisted's expression of gratitude is short lived as Sicko slaps a high five with Hightower and Shane Stevenson acknowledges it as a tag. Hightower and Sicko grab up PerfectSean near the middle of the ring and send him into the ropes. In return, they try to give him a double clothesline, but PerfectSean slides underneath it. Rising back up to his feet, PerfectSean begins an armdrag clinic on the Inner Circle, with the first one sending Sicko into the ropes and to the outside. The clinic continues until he finally catches Hightower with an armdrag to the canvas that he doesn't let go of. Instead, PerfectSean quickly applies a chickenwing crossface.]
JR: PerfectSean has the Reflection locked in!!!
B: Jimmy, thats not just the Reflection; thats the Reflection Of Perfection!!! Otherwise known as PerfectSean.
[Hightower grabs for the ropes but can't reach them. Being too far away, Hightower begins doing the next best thing; trying to get to his feet with an extra attachment. Hightower struggles at first, but after a few intense moments manages to get to a standing position with PerfectSean still having the hold applied at an awkward angle. Hightower locks both of his hands together and lifts PerfectSean up, giving him a back suplex to release the hold. Both men stay down for a moment, with PerfectSean begin directly in the Inner Circle corner. Jason Twisted is reaching in for the tag, and before PerfectSean can leave the corner Hightower has made the tag. Hightower rolls under the ropes as Jason Twisted enters the ring, again to a chorus of boos. Twisted lifts PerfectSean back up and turns him into a punching bag. Body, body, face, body, face, face; each punch backing PerfectSean up into a neutral corner. Jason Twisted lifts PerfectSean up to place him on the top turnbuckle, carefully lifting the legs and placing them on the outside of the ropes. Then Jason Twisted tries to ascend the ropes, and as soon as he starts to get into position, PerfectSean begins fighting back. One punch after another, after another, all connecting solid against Jason Twisted's cranium as he holds on to the top rope with both hands to avoid the inevitable. PerfectSean finally pushes Jason Twisted off and ascends to the top rope. Jason Twisted quickly gets back up to his feet as PerfectSean gets his feet underneath him on the top turnbuckle. PerfectSean jumps off with a froggy crossbody across Jason Twisted chest, but Jason Twisted catches him. Jason Twisted turns to face Christian Stylez while holding on to PerfectSean, before dropping to one knee with a backbreaker three times, and stretching PerfectSean out, pushing down on each side of his leg to drive his knee further into PerfectSean's back.]
JR: Its The Straight And Narrow!!!
B: And its moments like these you begin to realize just how considerate Jason Twisted is for his competitors.
JR: Considerate for this competitors?! He has him in a freaking submission hold Brutus!!!
B: I wasn't talking about PerfectSean; I was talking about Christian Stylez. Cause lets face it, PerfectSean is 6'4" tall. Hes half a foot taller than Christian Stylez, and what has he done so far this match?
JR: Well he hasn't given up yet to any submission holds for one.
B: That he hasn't, and I commend him for his toughness. But aside from that, hes done nothing. Absolutely nothing!!! And Christian, Twisted knew he would do the same!!! Why else would he step out of the ring for a man thats a foot shorter than him?! Its to keep from embarassing him.
JR: I seem to recall that Jason Twisted has had a little help wearing down PerfectSean before now, so just who is saving who from embarassment here?
B: Well it certainly isn't you, because all this insinuation you're doing is embarassing the hell out of me.
[PerfectSean appears to be fading away completely as Christian Stylez marches the side of the apron. Jason Twisted shoves PerfectSean off his knee to the canvas and shouts insults at Christian Stylez. Stylez comes through the ropes, but is stopped by Shane Stevenson to Jason Twisted's delight. Twisted lifts PerfectSean back up and sends him back into the corner. Twisted lifts him up onto the top turnbuckle as Christian Stylez begins stepping back through the turnbuckle with his eyes locked on the action. Jason Twisted climbs up onto the middle rope as Christian Stylez marches the apron with Shane Stevenson seemingly walking with him to make sure he won't re-enter the ring illegally. Stylez then shouts an order at Spiral who climbs into the ring and starts making his way towards the corner with Twisted. Shane Stevenson goes to intercept him, and then Stylez comes through the ropes. Realizing it is a lost effort, Shane Stevenson lets both of them go. Spiral and Christian both hit Jason Twisted solid in the back as he starts to lift up PerfectSean for a superplex. Spiral and Christian Stylez both grab a leg apiece and lift Jason Twisted up off of the turnbuckle before giving him a combined effort powerbomb down to the canvas. Christian and Spiral begin putting the boots on Jason Twisted as Sicko and Hightower enter the ring. Sicko goes at Spiral so hard that he takes them both over the top rope with a clothesline as Christian Stylez side-steps Hightower and uses his momentum to send him over the top rope as well. Christian then lifts up Jason Twisted and gives him a backbreaker and holds him down laying across his knee.]
Christian: SEAN!!!
[PerfectSean, still taking it slow, comes together and pulls himself up to a standing position on the top rope before jumping off with a legdrop that puts Twisted's shoulders to the mat. Christian Stylez goes back to putting the boots to Twisted as Shane Stevenson come to escort him back to his corner. Outside of the ring, Hightower and Sicko are double-teaming Spiral as Christian Stylez stays focused on Jason Twisted. PerfectSean staggers for his corner reaching out to tag, but Jason Twisted reaches up, grabs the back of his tights and pulls him backwards into a stiff shoulder to PerfectSean's lower back. Jason Twisted then lifts him up into the air with a bearhug applied from behind.]
JR: Just how much punishment can one man take at the hands of the Inner Circle?
B: Thats not just the hands of the Inner Circle Jimmy. That is at the hands of the IEW World Heavyweight Champion. And from the way PerfectSean has been brutalized by his opponents so far this match, I can't imagine anyone, much less him, lasting much longer than he already has.
[PerfectSean mule kicks Jason Twisted wherever he can connect until he eventually breaks loose from the hold and falls to the canvas. PerfectSean then drop toe-holds Jason Twisted forward, catching himself resting across the middle rope with his abdomen. In a blink and you miss it type moment, Christian Stylez grabs Jason Twisted around the head and drops backwards giving him a ddt on the apron. Jason Twisted lays across the middle rope holding his head as PerfectSean grabs him around the waist and pulls him back into the ring with a roll-up.]
JR: Christian Stylez finally got his hands on Jason Twisted, and heres a pin attempt!!!

JR: And Jason Twisted out before the count of three!!!
B: Its going to take more than a ddt like that to stop the World Champion. Though I will admit, that is a good start.
[Finally getting a good view of Jason Twisted's face, we can see that he was busted open with the ddt, and as he gets back up to his feet he is as wobbly as PerfectSean if not even slightly more-so. Outside of the ring, Hightower and Sicko have just knocked Spiral back against the security railing before each heading opposite ways. Meanwhile in the ring, PerfectSean takes the attack to Twisted trading out punches but neither can really make headway. As they fight, Hightower and Sicko can be seen behind them running at Sicko and giving him a big boot at the same time to both sides of the head. The fans in the front row stand up cheering arrogantly in appreciation of the carnage as the Inner Circle begin to make their way back to their corner. Jason Twisted clearly looks impressed with what they have done, but that smile quickly goes away as PerfectSean eludes him and tags in Christian Stylez.
JR: Stylez and PerfectSean may be a man down, but they're not giving up just yet.
B: No, but they should. It would make their post-match trip to the doctor less expensive.
[Jason Twisted and Christian Stylez circle each other in the ring before tying up, trading out and dodging punches, reversing holds, etc., trying this, then that, but neither really makes an advantage over the other until Twisted eventually gets his hands on Christian Stylez and sends him into the ropes. In his return, Jason Twisted takes Christian Stylez up into the air before planting him in the middle of the ring with a spinebuster. With Christian Stylez laying on the canvas gasping hard for air, Jason Twisted heads for the turnbuckles and begins to climb. Once at the top, Jason Twisted jumps off with a swanton bomb and goes for the pin.

[PerfectSean enters the ring and kicks Jason Twisted to make the save, and the Inner Circle enters the ring with him as their primary target. Jason Twisted lifts up Christian Stylez to his feet as Hightower and Sicko pour into PerfectSean with some hard forearms and punches. Jason Twisted calls something out, and Jason Twisted lifts Christian Stylez up in the air with a two-handed choke at the same time Hightower and Sicko both lift PerfectSean up with one hand each around his throat. Sicko and Hightower give PerfectSean a double chokeslam as Jason Twisted gives Christian Stylez a sitdown chokeslam and goes for a pin attempt.
JR: That was the Twisted Rage from Jason Twisted.
B: And Sicko and Hightower just took out the only person that could save him.
JR: I'm afraid this match is over...

[Suddenly, Spiral appears on the edge of the apron, reaching in and grabbing Christian Stylez's arm to pull him out of the pinning perdicament and onto the ring apron. Jason Twisted gets a furious look on his face as Shane Stevenson tells him that he only got a 2 count.]
JR: SPIRAL SAVED THE DAY!!! The one man we had completely ruled out for this match just came up with what could easilly be the biggest save in IEW history!!!
B: This just goes to show that you can't rule anybody out in the IEW at any time, because they always turn back up when you least expect it. But couldn't he have picked somebody else to do it against other than Twisted?! That sure wasn't smart on his part.
[Hightower and Sicko go through the ropes after Spiral yet again as Jason Twisted lifts Christian Stylez back up to his feet. Jason Twisted reaches back for a punch, but Stylez quickly jabs Twisted in the midsection to begin making a comeback. Likewise, on the outside, Spiral fends off the Inner Circle until PerfectSean makes a dive off of the ring apron, taking both of Hightower and Sicko down to the floor. Spiral helps PerfectSean up to his feet as they both retake their places at their corner. Christian Stylez follows up his jab up by kicking Jason Twisted in the midsection and locking on an STO, pulling Twisted over backwards and landing him across his leg with a backbreaker. Christian Stylez then pulls him up and puts Jason Twisted across his shoulders in a fireman carry before lifting him up off of his shoulders and rolling backwards, putting his knees up for Jason Twisted to come down across. With Jason Twisted picking himself up holding his ribs, Christian Stylez then hits the ropes and comes back with a brutal kick to the side of Jason Twisted's face that sends more spit flying into the crowd than you can usually see drooling from the mouth of a camel in a desert-based documentary. Christian Stylez lifts Jason Twisted up and hooks his head for a Russian Legsweep, but Twisted blocks the takedown and quickly takes jumps, grabbing Christian Stylez in a 3/4 headlock and taking him down to the canvas was a diamond cutter.]
JR: That was the Twisted Cut!!! This one is over folks.

[Spiral comes into the ring and breaks up the count. Spiral grabs Jason Twisted up and sends him into the corner. Christian Stylez shakes off the cobwebs a little and grabs onto Spiral and pulls himself up to his feet before getting a running start at Jason Twisted, hitting him with a running knee strike in the corner. As Christian Stylez staggers out of the corner due to the punishment he received beforehand, Spiral runs and gives Jason Twisted a big boot in the corner he won't soon forget. Spiral grabs Jason Twisted by his head and tosses him down into the middle of the ring on his hands and knees. Spiral sees Hightower and Spiral getting up onto their feet on the outside, and he runs and dives between the top ropes barely missing Sicko, but taking Hightower back down to the floor with a suicide dive. Sicko climbs up into his corner, extending his hand to Jason Twisted, but hes too far away. Christian Stylez raises Jason Twisted up onto his shoulders in a torture rack position as PerfectSean enters the ring. Christian Stylez turns around to line PerfectSean up, and as he does Sicko manages to tag Twisted's boot. Stylez sees the Shane Stevenson signal the tag and tosses Twisted over the top rope to the outside before turning and ducking a clothesline from Sicko. Christian Stylez then lifts Sicko up above his head in the torture rack position before rotating him around to allow PerfectSean to take him down with a neckbreaker. Christian Stylez makes the pin attempt as PerfectSean looks to break up potential run-ins.]
JR: The Fall From Grace!!! Christian Stylez with a cover!!!

***DING***DING***DING***
The Mic: Here are your winners... THE KOC!!!
[The crowd goes crazy.]
B: Can you hear this crowd Jimmy?! The people LOVE the KOC!!!
JR: I think they just liked the match Brutus. With the way each of these people has treated our fans in the past, I don't think they care one way or another how it turned out. They just wanted to see each other beat the other up.
B: And thats what makes it a classic. A KOC Classic to be in-fact. It'll be on their DVD for certain by this time next year, along with my commentary, and whoever they decide to overdub and replace you with.
JR: And folks, we are out of time. We'll see you at Balls To The Wall, live on Pay Per View!!!
B: If I may make a prediction, the KOC is going to rock at Balls To The Wall.
JR: Either that or you're still fascinating about The Total Package.
B: What?! I'd never!!!
JR: Folks, we're out of time. See ya!!!
