[[ Fade up. ]]

[[ Some pyro starts going off around the entrance ramp and on the stage as this very special edition of Glory is on the air! The fans are popping, filled with excitement over the big matches scheduled for tonight's super-sized show. A new Heavyweight Champion and Pure Champion WILL be crowned! Is this all she wrote for Lacey's Angels? Before we can find out any of those answers, Ricky Steamboat appears in front of the people on the stage and gets a massive pop. He makes his way to the ring and enters, grabbing a microphone from Jeremy Borash. Inside the ring is two glass cases, one containing the Pure title, the other the LoC title. He waits for the fans to settle down before starting. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Hello everyone, welcome to Glory!

[[ He looks around at the thousands of people in attendance. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Tonight is going to be a very special night in League of Champions here in the Windy City. Three men will go into battle, and only one man will walk away as the new LoC Heavyweight Champion!

[[ The fans cheer. A small "Let's Go Angle" chant tries to begin. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Also tonight, a Pure Champion will be decided. Mr. Cornette will also appear later on in the show with a very special announcement pending the future status of League of Champions!

[[ He pauses. Before he gets to say another word, Christian Cage, Trish Stratus, and Tyson Tomko make their presences felt. The fans let them know what they think about the Coalition immediately. ]]

Christian Cage: Steamer, let me make your job easy tonight. Hit the bricks right after you hand me that LoC Heavyweight title. There's no need for this triple threat match tonight in Chicago tonight.

[[ Boos. Christian and company enter the ring and Christian goes for the title belt. ]]

Christian Cage: I am a former two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. I am The Instant Classic, Steamboat. Bryan Danielson and his pasty skin.. Kurt Angle and his unlimited subscription to HGH from Florida... They don't have a chance of taking me out tonight. There's gonna' be one man holding that belt high when the dust settles on Glory tonight.

[[ He raises his arm high in the air. ]]

Christian Cage: CAPTAIN CHARISMA!

[[ He slaps his chest. Bryan Danielson makes his way down to the ring to more boos than Christian received. ]]

Bryan Danielson: I don't know if I heard you right or not. You said YOU were winning the title tonight?

Christian Cage: Damn right.

Bryan Danielson: That's funny. I always knew you were one of those no-talented, comedy wrestlers, who only rely on charisma and suntans to get by in this business. I knew you weren't the type of wrestler I am.

Christian Cage: If you are trying to compliment me.. You have done a very good job.

Bryan Danielson: I wasn't.

Christian Cage: I know. I've hung around idiots with no charisma like yourself for a long time. Hello, I road with LANCE STORM in WWE for Christ's sake!

Tyson Tomko: Terrible.

Christian Cage: It was, Tomko!

Bryan Danielson: Christian, tonight, your little fun and games comedy show ends for good. You have never stepped into the ring with a man such as myself. LoC NEEDS me to win that title... Almost as much as I NEED to win it.

[[ Pause. Danielson stares Christian down. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Fifteen months I reigned as RoH Champion. Forget Samoa Joe, I am the man who put that title on the map. I am the best wrestler in the world today, Christian. It's not a moniker. It's not a fancy catchphrase. It's the truth. It's a claim I made a long time ago, and have never.. Never failed to back up.

Christian Cage: Well, I'm the Instant Classic! I'm the next LoC Champion.. I'm Captain Charisma, bitch!

Tyson Tomko: Burn.

Bryan Danielson: Later tonight, Christian.. Your time, Kurt Angle's time, it's up. The final countdown's on.

[[ ANGLE ENTERS THE RING THROUGH THE CROWD! ANGLE SLAM ON DANIELSON! Christian shoves Tomko into Angle, BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Christian and Trish exit the ring as Angle is fired up in the ring. The fans are cheering for Angle as he looks like a man possessed in the ring right now. Steamboat is taken aback by what he just witnessed in front of him! The LoC title's on the line tonight and every man's fired up! ]]

Kurt Angle: Danielson.. Christian..

[[ He gets his breath. ]]

Kurt Angle: Neither of you's winning that title tonight. Because KURT ANGLE HAS ALREADY STAKED HIS CLAIM IN IT!

[[ Huge pop. ]]

Kurt Angle: And if either of you think differently, come to the ring tonight and pin my shoulders to the mat. But spoiler warning.. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO! IT'S TRUE! IT'S DAMN TRUE, PAL! WOOOO!

[[ ANGLE vs. DANIELSON vs. CAGE... TONIGHT! ]]

Match One: Eight-Man Elimination Mayhem
Dudley Boyz/Monty Brown/Fallen Angel vs. MnM/Shane Douglas/Steve Corino

Corino and Monty start. Monty overpowers Corino and sends him packing about two minutes in with the PPPOOOOOOOUNNNNNCEEE~!!!
Shane Douglas runs in after Corino's sent out and slaps Monty in the face. Monty no-sells and Douglas screams "OH FUCK!" ALPHA BOMB! Douglas rolls out of the ring and leaves, getting counted out. It's down to MnM against the entire team of the Dudleyz, Daniels, and Monty. Mercury enters and Daniels tags in. Thanks to interference from Melina, Mercury rolls Daniels up, eliminating him. D-Von Dudley comes in and pummels Mercury, Bubba tries coming in while MnM double teams D-Von, Melina slides in some brass knux, D-VON'S KAYOED! Mercury pins and D-Von's done! Monty's in, he goes for the Pounce on Nitro, but Mercury moves him out of the way, SNAPSHOT! MnM is on a roll! Bubba comes in and takes both of MnM out. BUBBA BOMB! Mercury's pinned and eliminated. Bubba celebrates, but Nitro low blows him. Roll-up, NITRO'S STOLEN ONE FROM BUBBA RAY!

Winner: Douglas/Corino/MnM  (24:56)
Survivors: Johnny Nitro

[[ From the ring we go to the locker room area. We see Colt Cabana, CM Punk, and Ace Steel sitting around talking. Punk and Colt are taping up their wrists, lacing their boots, just doing the necessary stuff to get ready for later on tonight for their matches. AJ Styles walks into the picture, already dressed for the Pure title match. His demeanor's cold. He looks confident. ]]

Colt Cabana: Oh, lookie at who it is, daddy! It's yours truly's big challenge for the night.. And no, that challenge is not getting a drunk girl back to my hotel, instead, it's AJ Styles! What's up, my man?

AJ Styles: Nothing.

Colt Cabana: Right on then. Got some good stuff planned for tonight? Some back flips over the ropes or something else?

AJ Styles: They're called planchas.

Colt Cabana: My bad. Didn't know it was touchy.

[[ Styles cuts right to the chase, ending Colt's fun and games. ]]

AJ Styles: Look, I'm not going to mess around with you. I just came into to wish you luck tonight. I respect you as a wrestler, and you and I have never had much beef before.

Colt Cabana: Well, actually AJ, I did eat one of those Flamethrower burgers from Dairy Queen. Lot of beef on it, I didn't throw fire though.

[[ He frowns. ]]

AJ Styles: Anyway, I just hope you're ready. If you thought Christopher Daniels was a challenge last week on Glory, you ain't seen anything yet. I'm a totally different machine from Daniels.

Colt Cabana: Tell me about it. I give you credit, though. At least you didn't come into the men's room to find me like he did last week.

[[ Styles is puzzled. ]]

Colt Cabana: I did my show from the men's room.

AJ Styles: Oh.

Colt Cabana: Nope, he's still the Fallen Angel, not the Fallen Fairy. No worries.

[[ Colt gives a sly look to the camera and shrugs, eyes wide. Styles looks at the camera and back to Colt. ]]

AJ Styles: The crap you looking at?

Colt Cabana: Nothing.

AJ Styles: I just saw you look at the camera.

Colt Cabana: No, I didn't.

[[ Colt smirks at the camera again, spinning his index finger in a circle by his head, indicating Styles is crazy. ]]

AJ Styles: You did it again!

Colt Cabana: Whatever, dude. Just chill.. Chillax. You're the one saying it's time to be professional and here you are monkeying around.

AJ Styles: Just be ready for tonight, Colt. The games are gonna' be over then.

[[ Styles walks out of the room. ]]

CM Punk: I'm taking a calculated risk teaming with Val tonight. What's the upside? I get to beat up Randy Orton, win a match in front of my hometown people, get some momentum.

[[ Looking at the camera, he pauses. ]]

CM Punk: Downside? I'm seen with Val Venis in front of thousands of people and collapse into myself like a dying star.

[[ Punk rolls his eyes. ]]

CM Punk: If Val and I win tonight, he'll want to consistently team from now on. And... If that happened, I'd lose for years.. And years.. And if that was the case, I'd have to throw myself in front of a train.

[[ Pause. He exhales deeply. ]]

CM Punk: Ugh.. Why is this so hard?

Ace Steel: That's what she said.

[[ Ace Steel glances at the camera, then back at Punk. Fade. ]]

[[ We cut to the ring, which is currently empty. Jeremy Borash enters the ring with microphone in hand. The fans are anxious to see what's coming next. Borash cleans his throat and begins introductions.  ]]

Jeremy Borash: Ladies and gentlemen of Chicago.. It is now time for the JOHN CENA OPEN CHALLENGE!

[[ HUGE boos. Borash is almost drowned out. ]]

Jeremy Borash: Introducing first, making his LoC debut. He hails from West Newbury, Massachusetts.

[[ Even more boos. ]]

Jeremy Borash: He weighed in this morning at two-hundred and forty pounds.. He is a three-time World Heavyweight Champion.. This is.. JOHN CENA!

[[ "My Time is Now" hits and out comes John Cena through the curtain wearing his usual attire of shorts, a Cena t-shirt, and a hat. He's all charismatic like always, even though the fans are doing their best to run him out of town. He enters the ring, gives the fans the salute, throws his hat and shirt to the crowd. ]]

[[ The shirt comes back. ]]

[[ He throws it again. ]]

[[ Right back in the ring. ]]

[[ Cena flashes back to ECW One Night Stand II and knows better than to throw it back. He grabs the microphone from Borash to address the people. ]]

John Cena: I wanna' start things off by introducin' myself. My name's JOHN CENA!

[[ "FUCK YOU CENA! FUCK YOU CENA!" Along with other terribly vulgar chants, middle fingers, and toliet paper are thrown Cena's way. He doesn't seemed phased. ]]

John Cena: Now I know you people in Chi-Town don't have a lotta' love for me. I ain't forgotten Wrestlemania 23 by no means. But this is LoC. This is a new beginnin' and a fresh start for John Cena. I was hopin' I'd be able to get a fresh start with'chu people, too. I know I ain't da' best wrestler in the ring, that ain't what I'm about.

[[ He paces around the ring. ]]

John Cena: I know I'm gonna' be facin' an uphill battle wit'you fans, and that's cool. I'll dance with those who brought me, my Chain Gang! I'll fight side by side those who's stuck with me through thick and thin! Tonight, I face Edge. He's the man who accepted my challenge. That's cool. Edge and I have a history. It's a history that goes my way.

[[ Just then, Cena is hit right in the face with a roll of toilet paper. The fans start chanting "SAME OLD SHIT! SAME OLD SHIT!" ]]

John Cena: Like I said.. For those who's wit'me..

.. You Think You Know Me? ..

[[ "Metalingus" hits and the fans give Edge the biggest pop in LoC history. It's like Jesus Christ himself walked through that stage just then. Edge has a microphone as he walks down the ramp. He speaks. ]]

Edge: I don't know if you can hear these people or not, John Cena.. But they're saying YOU'RE NOTHING BUT SHIT! AND I AGREE WITH THEM FOR ONCE!

[[ "THANK YOU EDGE!" is echoed. Edge doesn't know what to react to this chant. ]]

Edge: John Cena, up north, you and I had a feud spanning almost a year and a half. And each time we'd face, I'd get screwed over. Not because I wasn't the better man. Only because you were the chosen one for Vinnie Mac. He was down on his knees, going to town on you each and every stinkin' night! I'M BETTER THAN YOU, CENA!

[[ He enters the ring and gets right in Cena's face. ]]

Edge: I DON'T FEAR YOU!

[[ Even closer. ]]

Edge: I accepted your challenge to let you know just who the hell I am. This is League of Champions. This brushing your shoulders off, hip-hopping, and dressing like you're a God-forbidden backyard wrestler MAKES ME GOD DAMN SICK!

[[ Cena goes to respond. ]]

John Cena: Wel-

Edge: SHUT UP!

[[ "YOU GOT SERVED! YOU GOT SERVED!" ]]

Edge: When that bell rings, Cena.. I'm going to straight up murder your ass. I'm gonna' beat you like you have never been beaten before. What are you gonna' do now that you don't have a creative team protecting you, caring for you, watching over your every move, Cena? Huh?

[[ Edge slaps Cena in the face. ]]

Edge: Huh? You gonna' go down like the BITCH you are, Cena? Or you gonna' grow a set and fight me, you sonuvabitch?!

[[ Another slap. ]]

John Cena: I guess I'm gonna' fight.

[[ CENA PICKS EDGE UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! The bell rings and Cena drops Edge down, F-U! F-U RIGHT OFF THE BAT! ]]

Match Two:  Cena's Open Challenge
John Cena vs. Edge

Cena goes for the pin after the FU, but Edge kicks out. Cena dominates Edge all through this match, busting him open on an FU from the ring apron to the announce table! Trish comes down to ringside and gets FU'd for her troubles! Edge rolls Cena up, only gets two. Here's Orton, RKO ON CENA! One..two..Kickout! Edge is throwing everything he can at Cena, but he keeps kicking out! Edecution! Kickout at two! Cena starts getting fired up, FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Two count only. Tomko distracts the ref, allowing Edge to hit the low blow. Cena staggers, back, Edge sets it up, SPEAR-NO! Cena ducks, Edge hits the referee! Cena grabs Edge, FU! Then, STFU! Edge is tapping like crazy but there's no referee! Tomko and Orton slide in with chairs, CON-CHAIR-TO, misses! Cena clotheslines Orton out of the ring, FU ON TOMKO! Edge SPEARS Cena! He covers, the referee revives. One, not like this, two.. Three! Edge cheated to win. Cena's debut is spoiled but the fans love it!

Winners:  Edge via Pinfall (25:19)

[[ Jim Cornette pops up on the jumbo tron from his office. He's all smiles so far, looking very pleased with everything he's been seeing on the big edition of Glory this week. He has a piece of paper in his hand, and looks to get down to business with the LoC fans in Chicago. ]]

James E. Cornette: I hope everyone's enjoyin' the show tonight in Chicago!

[[ Cheap pop. ]]

James E. Cornette: Now, I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it to Chicago tonight. I had some things come up, including a specially called meeting with the League O'Champions Championship Committee. That meeting just ended about fifteen minutes ago, and man o'man, do I have an announcement for everyone!

[[ He looks really excited. The fans have quieted down, very interested. ]]

James E. Cornette: But first off, how 'bout the action so far on Glory tonight? Huh? John Cena's debuted!

[[ Boos all around for Cena. ]]

James E. Cornette: Now I know he ain't the most popular guy in the world. He doesn't really fit the style LoC was goin' for, but LoC's a meltin' pot in the world o'wrestlin'. It ain't about your gimmick or how good you are on the mic.. It's about what ya' do in the ring. And it seems to me Cena did alright for himself against Edge!

[[ More boos. Cornette looks worried at this reaction and quickly changes the subject. ]]

James E. Cornette: Anyway, down to business. We got a Pure Champion to crown after this, and don't forget a Heavyweight Champion! So here it is, my announcement for tonight. Starting next week in St. Louis, Missouri, we're gonna' begin an eight-man tournament to crowd a new ELITE Champion! The bracket was randomly put together, and it will feature heavyweights and light-heavyweights together.

[[ Cornette looks at the bracket in front of him on the paper. ]]

James E. Cornette: Two first-round matches will take place next week on Glory, then two after that. The finals will be held on LoC's next big event, Canadian Collision, which has officially been signed to be held in the Stampede Dome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada!

[[ Pop for the location and event being named. ]]

James E. Cornette: Now here's the eight participants. "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels, CM Punk, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, "Legend Killer" Randy Orton, the newly acquired Petey Williams, the also newly acquired Jay Lethal.. The loser between Colt Cabana and AJ Styles tonight.. And last but not least, "The Trouble King" Steve Corino.

[[ Cornette pauses and looks confused. ]]

James E. Cornette: I don't know what the god damned fuck a "Trouble King" is. He probably ain't winnin' the tournament anyway, so I don't guess it even matters.

[[ Another pause. ]]

James E. Cornette: Also on Glory next week, the newly crowned LoC Champion WILL defend his title against the man I have just had sign a contract to League O'Champions!

[[ Cornette grabs the contract off his desk and holds it up. The camera zooms in. ]]

James E. Cornette: The ink's barely dry on it! ROB VAN DAM'S COMIN' TO LoC NEXT WEEK!

[[ The fans start a huge "R-V-D!" chant. RVD gets a Heavyweight title shot next week in his debut match! ]]

James E. Cornette: That's all I got to say right now. I'm gonna' send the action back to the ring and let you people get your money's worth of wrestlin' action! Colt Cabana and AJ Styles is gonna' be a damn good match! I'll see all you LoC fans in St. Louis next week! Enjoy the rest of the show!

[[ Cornette fades and we immediately cut to the backstage area. Glory next week is stacking up already! ]]

Match Three: Titles versus Contracts
The Hardy Boyz(c) vs. Lacey's Angels

Joey Ryan didn't even show up to the match. Jimmy fought this match on his own, and really didn't have a chance. Lacey spent the entire match reading the classified ads in the newspaper, looking for employment. The finish comes in around seven and a half minutes as The Hardyz hit the Swanton-Twist of Fate combination. Albright slides in the ring, acting like he may break it up, but Lacey tells him not to. The three count comes and it's done. Jimmy and company's gone from LoC!

Winner: The Hardy Boyz via Pinfall (7:33)

[[ Maria overtakes our screen as security escorts Lacey's Angels to the back. She's smiling a huge smile, clutching the microphone with both hands. On either side of her is Shane Douglas and Steve Corino. Both men are stroking their goatees, still in their ring gear from their opening match win. ]]

Maria: Hey everybody!! I'm Maria! And beside me right now is Shane Douglas and Steve Corino!

Shane Douglas: HAHA, Maria! You got that right!

Maria: I wanna' start the interview off by asking Steve Corino a question.

Steve Corino: Sure.

[[ Corino braces himself for what's coming. ]]

Maria: As being in the Elite title tournament, Mr. Cornette called you the "Trouble King." Now, my question is.. What is a "Trouble King?"

Steve Corino: ....

Shane Douglas: Maria, that's a god damn awesome question! The fuckin' Frachise has wondered the same thing.

[[ Shane Douglas takes the mic from Maria and pokes it in Corino's face. ]]

Shane Douglas: WHY CORINO, WHY?! WHY ARE YOU USIN' SUCH A RIDICULOUS FUCKIN' NICKNAME?!

[[ Maria snatches the microphone back. ]]

Maria: That's my job!

Shane Douglas: I DON'T TRUST YOU, MARIA!

Steve Corino: I really don't have an answer for my nickname, Maria. Anything else you want to ask that I don't have answers to?

[[ She thinks. ]]

Maria: Mr. Cornette also said it didn't matter what a "Trouble King" was because you'd not win the tournament.

Steve Corino: What the fuck? He said that?

Maria: Yep.

[[ Douglas starts pointing and laughing at him. ]]

Shane Douglas: HAHAHAHA! OWNED CORINO!

Steve Corino: Here's my comments, Maria. Fuck Jim Cornette! I'm gonna' win that tournament and that title. And when I do, I'm gonna' throw the God damned thing off a bridge!

[[ Corino storms off, leaving the Franchise eyeballing Maria. ]]

Shane Douglas: He's not winning that fucking tournament. Maria, you know want to know who's gonna' win?

Maria: Yes, I want the scoop!

Shane Douglas: Do you want the scoop? Then bow down and KISS THE FRANCHISE'S FUCKIN' ASS, BITCH!

[[ Maria bends down and starts looking. ]]

Maria: Where's the donkey? I LOOOOOVEEEE animals!

Shane Douglas: Fuck this. I'm winning that ELITE title, Maria. I'm gonna' take those seven over men, and FRANCHISE THEIR FUCKING ASSES! THAT'S A FACT, JACK!

Maria: I'm not Jack. I'm Maria..

[[ She pauses. ]]

Maria: Bitch.

[[ She smiles. ]]

[[ Fade. ]]

[[ Jimmy Jacobs is seen moping against a wall outside of his locker room. He just lost his and Lacey's jobs in LoC. He's slamming the back of his head against the wall and his hands cover the front of his face. Joey Ryan, Disco Machine, and Lacey are carrying suitcases and bags from the locker room. ]]

Jimmy Jacobs: I failed tonight. The hero didn't get the win, but he still got the girl. Lacey and I are still together, and we will continue to be together, even in unemployment!

[[ He shakes his head. ]]

Jimmy Jacobs: I wish I was able to have delivered those LoC Tag Titles to Lacey tonight. But that wasn't what destiny had in store for us. Destiny knows what she's doing, though. Destiny will keep Lacey and I together forever.

[[ He raises his fist in the air, and then is kneed in the face accidentally by Joey Ryan, carrying out a laptop computer. ]]

Joey Ryan: Watch out, dude.

Jimmy Jacobs: Hey! Is that my computer?

Joey Ryan: Dyn-O-Mite!

[[ He continues walking. Jeff and Matt Hardy walk up to him with their belts. ]]

Matt Hardy: Shame you put your contract on the line to get a title shot and lost.

Jeff Hardy: Yeah. All you had to do was ask for a title shot. It was noble to put your career on the line for love.

Matt Hardy: I was in love once.

Jimmy Jacobs: Then Edge banged Lita.. But Lacey and I's love is pure. She's pure. She's beautiful, wonderful, spectacular, caring, loving, compassionate.. She's everything Lita used to be until Edge came along and changed her.

Matt Hardy: Idiot.

Jeff Hardy: Loser.

Jimmy Jacobs: Fuck you, Matt Hardy! Go paint a picture, Jeff!

Jeff Hardy: I already have.

[[ Jeff Hardy reveals a picture he painted of Jimmy and Lacey. ]]

Jeff Hardy: It's a going away present.

[[ Jimmy stands up and grabs the painting. He looks at it and then to Jeff. ]]

Jimmy Jacobs: Wow.

[[ Jimmy lays the painting down and starts stomping away on it! ]]

Jeff Hardy: Hey, my paintin'!

[[ Lacey comes out with her bag and Jimmy grabs her by the arm. ]]

Jimmy Jacobs: Let's go, love.

Lacey: GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME, JIMMY! YOU'RE A FAILURE! A TOTAL FAILURE!

[[ Jimmy Jacobs leads Lacey out of the arena. He stops right before going out the door. ]]

Jimmy Jacobs: Come, Lacey... It's time for love to take the wheel. Goodbye LoC.

[[ They leave. We go to the ring. LoC wishes Jimmy and Lacey the best in their future endeavors, which probably results in them going onto greater things in SGW, starting tomorrow night at Supremacy.. Live on PPV. ]]

Match Three: Pure Title Match
AJ Styles vs. Colt Cabana

Styles made Cabana use all three of his rope breaks during the same move. Styles went for the kill knowing he had the advantage with the ropes. Styles Clash attempt, blocked, back body drop instead. Colt gains some momentum with a series of chops. He goes to punch AJ in the face, but pulls back, knowing a fist to the face is a rope break penalty he doesn't have. Colt then punches AJ in the balls and tells the ref "it's not the face!" The two battle on, with Styles taking over. The end looks near, STYLES CLASH! AJ doesn't go for the pin, he climbs up top. HE MISSES SPIRAL TAP! Colt springs up, COLT .45! COLT .45! ONE! TWO! THREE! COLT CABANA IS THE NEW PURE CHAMPION! Ace Steel and CM Punk enter the ring and celebrate! AJ gets up, pissed at himself. He shakes Colt's hand, showing respect.

Winner: Colt Cabana via Pinfall (34:25)
New LoC Pure Wrestling Champion

[[ As soon as the scene switches from Cabana holding his Pure title high, we cut to the backstage area where some damage has already been done it seems. We see the Dudley Boyz standing over Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro, who are each laying among the remains of broken tables. Mercury's even bleeding from his nose. Melina isn't safe either, Bubba has her by the hair. He stares down at her as she tries getting free. ]]

Bubba Ray Dudley: So, this is how your boys want to play ball, huh?

[[ Bubba's never been this serious in his life. ]]

Bubba Ray Dudley: There's a reason why D-Von and I are the greatest tag team in this sport right now. It's not because we can spit in people's faces and then jump them, or even cheat to win a match.

[[ D-Von shakes his head 'no.' ]]

Bubba Ray Dudley: It's because D-Von and I.. DON'T GIVE A SHIT!

D-Von Dudley: Preach it, my brotha'.

Bubba Ray Dudley: Your boys started a war they had no need of starting last week with us. It continued tonight with their little antics, and look at what it got 'em. It got 'em a table for two!

[[ Bubba brings Melina's head down lower, pointing it in the direction of where her clients lie motionless. ]]

Bubba Ray Dudley: So tell your boys when they wake up, that tonight was only the beginning.

D-Von Dudley: It ain't ova'!

Bubba Ray Dudley: Nope. Not by a long shot. This little feud here, it ain't over, Melina.. Until someone's DEAD!

[[ Bubba pie faces Melina to the ground. ]]

D-Von Dudley: OH, TESTIFY!!!

[[ Melina looks terrified as she sits on the ground. The Dudleyz walk off and she tries reviving MnM. This war is definitely just beginning! We fade to the ring. ]]

Match Four: Grudge Tag Match
Val Venis and CM Punk vs. Randy Orton and Tyson Tomko

Tomko and Venis start and it doesn't look good early for Venis and Punk. Val's isolated half the match from getting Punk tagged in, and he's beaten mercilessly. Venis is wearing the crimson mask five minutes in from a Yakuza Kick to the face from Tomko. Punk keeps breaking up tags, but finally comes in, causing a four-man riot in the ring! Tomko goes for a boot outside, misses, hitting the ring post! Trish slides in a chair, RKO ON THE CHAIR ON VENIS! Orton flashes the "Hey!" sign, turns around, STO! Punk drags Venis to his corner, tags him. He then sets Orton up top, PEPSI PLUNGE ON THE CHAIR! Punk tags Venis, MONEY SHOT! Tomko looks seriously hurt on the outside, Venis covers.. One, two, three! You have got to be kidding me! Two weeks in a row! Punk and Orton celebrate in the middle of the ring! What a win!

Winner: CM Punk and Val Venis via Pinfall (12:42)

[[ A hype video for next week's edition of Glory from St. Louis plays. Immediately after this, we fade back to the ring. The fans are pumped, thinking this is going to be the main event, but it's not. "Iron Man" plays, which is a theme we've not heard in LoC before. VINCE RUSSO?! What the hell is Vince Russo doing here, and why is Jay Lethal walking beside him? The real question should be, why is Jay Lethal wearing a weight belt, fringes on his t-shirt, sunglasses, and a big cowboy hat? They enter the ring and Russo gets the microphone and speaks. ]]

Vince Russo: Hello Chicago!

[[ Boos. ]]

Vince Russo: I know you people wanna' hurry up and get to da' main event, and that's fine. What I gotta' say won't take long at all, it's only gonna' be a warnin' of things ta' come here in League O'Champions!

[[ He pauses and walks around the ring. He stops on the other side from where he was at. ]]

Vince Russo: LoC is missin' somethin'. It's gotta' feva', and da' only cure is more sports entertainment, bay-bee!

[[ Lethal nods, agreeing with everything Russo's saying. ]]

Vince Russo: You people gotta' watch Kurt Angle, Bryan Danielson, Colt Cabana, AJ Styles.. All these people are fine if you like that wrestlin' bullshit, but me.. It's all about TITTIES, ASS, AND ENTERTAINMENT!

[[ The fans were booing Russo, but there's no wrestling fan who will boo those three things. ]]

Vince Russo: That's why we're here. Startin' next week, me and Shelton Benjamin here's gonna' be recruitin' people for Sports Entertainment Xtreme, bay-bee! And when this faction's put togetha', there ain't gonna' be a damn thing nobody can do about stoppin' it!

[[ Lethal takes off his hat and leans in, whispering in Russo's ear. ]]

Vince Russo: Whaddya' mean your fuckin' name's not Shelton Benjamin?!

[[ Lethal whispers again. ]]

Vince Russo: Jay Lethal? Who 'da FUCK is Jay Lethal?

[[ Lethal points to himself, Russo rubs his head. ]]

Vince Russo: Fantastic.

[[ He's speechless on live television. ]]

Vince Russo: Well, SEX is gonna' be the new wave of wrestlin'. "Jay Lethal" and myself's gonna' pick the biggest, baddest, coolest motherfuckers who hate wrestlin' as much as we do to be in our stable! I mean, look at what I did for 'em!

Jay Lethal: OOHHH YEAH! MADNESS!

Vince Russo: I turned Shel-, erm, Jay Lethal here, into a full-blown "Macho Man" Randy Savage ripoff! It's beautiful, bay-bee! AIN'T NO STOPPIN' HIM NOW!

[[ Lethal whispers in Russo's ear again. ]]

Vince Russo: Well Lethal, I don't know what the hell your theme music is!

[[ Lethal starts walking around the ring in total Macho Man mode. ]]

Vince Russo: Next week.. Consida' LoC TURNED UPSIDE DOWN!

[[ Russo drops the mic. He walks out of the ring, but Lethal takes the mic, huffing and puffing before he speaks. ]]

Jay Lethal: DIG IT?!

[[ We fade to commercials. The main event is NEXT! ]]

Match Five: LoC Heavyweight Title
LoC Glory Main Event
Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle vs. Bryan Danielson

Jeremy Borash: It is now time for the Glory main event. It's scheduled for one fall, and it is for the LoC Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, standing to my left.. He is from Aberdeen, Washington. He weighed in this morning at 185 pounds. He is a former RoH World Heavyweight Champion.. "AMERICAN DRAGON" BRYAN DANIELSON!

Christian hops out of the ring as the bell rings, leaving Danielson and Angle to go at it. After a brief staredown, Danielson starts things off by giving Angle an uppercut that nearly takes off his head! Three stiff chops sends Angle back into a corner. The ref calls for a clean break, Danielson backs up and Angle charges at him, to the back, GERMAN! Danielson can't believe he allowed Angle to do that. He gets back on his feet and Christian slides in, REVERSE DDT ON ANGLE! Christian slaps his chest, Danielson gives Christian a forearm to his neck, allowing Danielson some time to start working away on the back and arms of Christian. Danielson has Christian by the waist, attempting a belly-to-belly, Angle slides in the ring, grabs Danielson by the back, GERMAN SUPLEX ON DANIELSON, CHRISTIAN FLIPS OVER! A DOUBLE SUPLEX!  ANGLE DUMPS CHRISTIAN OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A MODIFIED ANGLE SLAM! Angle gets off the top rope, Danielson charges, he's buterflied the elbows! Angle's fitting it off! Danielson's trying to get the Cattle Mutilation on Angle at all cost. Danielson steps up to the bottom rope, trying to get leverage. He places his feet against the middle turnbuckle, and then walks up to the top one, AND FLIPS OVER! DANIELSON HAS CATTLE MUTILATION ON! ANGLE'S FIGHTING IT OFF AND CHRISTIAN'S ON THE OUTSIDE! Trish can't get Christian revived in time, because ANGLE TAPS! ANGLE TAPS! BRYAN DANIELSON IS THE NEW LoC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

Winners: Bryan Danielson via Submission (57:49)
New LoC Heavyweight Champion

[[ Bryan Danielson releases the hold as referees and agents help Angle out of the ring. He is the first-ever LoC Heavyweight Champion! The fans are throwing garbage and toliet paper into the ring to show what they think of the outcome of this. The fans clearly wanted Angle to come out as Champion in this one. "The Final Countdown" blares through the PA system in the arena, barely being heard for the boos. Danielson grabs the LoC title away from Ricky Steamboat's hands, kissing it, and then laughing. He knows LoC belongs to him and there's nothing Cornette can do about it. He looks at the entrance ramp, and there's someone we've not seen in LoC before. ]]

[[ Shawn Michaels. ]]

[[ Danielson doesn't know what to think of his former trainer standing at the ramp, applauding. Michaels looks very happy for his former protégé winning the Heavyweight title. This is irking Danielson, and ends his celebrating. He exits the ring, keeping his eyes on Michaels, and exits through the crowd. We zoom in on Shawn Michaels as the show ends. Bryan Danielson is the new LoC Champion, but why is Shawn Michaels here? ]]
