- [ * * * ] - Opener - [ * * * ] -

The NLWF logo flashed across the screen and the opening video to ’Direct Hit’ began to play. It ran behind highlights of all NLWF New stars. We then cut to the crowd, who were, as always, rowdy here in Seattle. Signs all over the arena tonight, some of the best reading; "WHO IS THE CHOSEN ONE?!', 'Bloodstone family is Wrestling', 'Cyber Punk is my favorite Skizo'.

In the ring, The Voice introduced the Chairman of Pudge Entertainment, Mr. Carmine Vestieri. Carmine, a large Italian looking man walked to the ring in a fine looking suit, complete with a diamond studded belt buckle which he looks like he can do without. Carmine enters the ring, holding onto his hat as he does so. He was then handed a microphone by The Voice.

"Hello wrestling fans. The name is Mr. Vestieri and I own Pudge Entertainment. Now what Pudge is, is a muli-facitated, multi-layered organization in which the pimpest of pimp and the hardest of hard are contracted. Dig?"

Explained Carmine, and the crowd didn't really know what to make of him.

"You see, Ramirez Silva has asked me to sponsor some NLWF events and in return, I am able to sit on the board of directors for the company. Isn't that nice? And my first act as a board member, is to give my client, the Iceman Keith Cunningham. a contract. This athlete will be in action next week on Direct Hit, where he’ll also sign his NLWF contract, and begin his legacy."

Carmine Vestieri said, before walking up the ramp, leaving a stunned crowd behind.

- [ * * * ] - Shadow Deviant vs. Bart Bloodstone - [ * * * ] -
Tournament to the Title Round 1

The match started off quickly with Shadow Deviant dropkicking Bart, sending him backward into the ropes. As he rebounded, Shadow caught him in a sleeper hold, but Bart lifted Shadow off of the ground, and planted him back first in the corner for his efforts. Bart took two steps away from the corner, before turning around and crushing Shadow with a body avalanche. He fell to the mat holding his chest, and Bart immediately followed up with a stiff elbow drop to the small of Shadow back. Shadow Deviant rolls out of the ring to catch his breath.

Bart rolls out of the ring after Shadow, but he immediately rolls back into the ring. When Bart follows him in, Shadow hits him in the back of the head with a stiff elbow drop of his own, sending him back to the outside. Bart holds his neck, and is stunned just long enough for Shadow to hit him with a suicide dive. Shadow picks him up and rolls Bart back into the ring, then stomps on his lower back to keep him down, before hitting a reverse moonsault. He goes for the cover but only gets a two count.

He picks him up and Irish whips him, on the way back, Bart goes for a clothesline, but Shadow ducks under it, and hits him with a stiff super kick on his way back. He leaps to the top rope and hit’s a Diving Head butt, and goes for another pin, which ends in a long two count. He taunts for Bart to stand back up, and hops on both feet in anticipation. Bart stands up, and Shadow goes for The Last Laugh. Bart powers out of it, and goes for his Stone Stuck, but Shadow reverses it with a couple punches to the head. When he lands on his feet, he goes for The Last Laugh one more time, and again it is reversed and Bart delivered the Stone Struck for the victory.

Winner: Bart Bloodstone

- [ * * * ] - The Chosen One - [ * * * ] -

When the show came back from a commercial break NLWF Owner Ramirez Silva was waiting in the ring with a microphone in hand, he still looked pretty pissed off with having t he Bloodstone family taken part of his Tournament to the title. And is even more upset that Bart Bloodstone is moving on to the next round. Ramirez started off by addressing Bart and telling him he would never ever allow a Bloodstone to lead his promotion as Champion. He then went on to talk briefly about Johnny Bloodstone which appears to him that Johnny has no chance in moving on because of the surprise he has in store for the Straight edge superstar. He then went on to drop more hints and build up the man that he is calling the ‘Savior of NLWF’ as will as his ‘Chosen One.’ He ended with some strong words concerning that matter

“I reached out for a hand, and he reached back, In due time the NLWF savior…The Chosen One will take out the trash that has blown into Seattle and he’ll finally take care of the Bloodstone Family once and for all!”

And with that, Hurt by Loaded cued up and Johnny Bloodstone walked out onto the stage. He talked about how he doesn‘t give a rats ass if Ramirez had the power of Christ, that nothing would stop him from becoming the first ever NLWF Champion. He told Ramirez that it's time for the new generation to move past 'NLWF's Chosen Boy.’ Johnny told Silva that he will enjoy ending the career of who ever Ramirez reached out to. Johnny went on to tell Ramirez:

"While I respect legends, I also snuff them out."

Mr. Silva took great offense to this and told Johnny Bloodstone that if he wasn’t the owner he'd be right up there smacking the grin off Johnny's face. But since he was, Ramirez offered his chosen one to meet Johnny Bloodstone next week, to see if the new generation is all it's cracked up to be. Johnny Bloodstone accepted and the two men stared at each other, from the stage to the ramp as we cut to commercial.

- [ * * * ] - Cipher vs. Havoc - [ * * * ] -
Tournament to the Title

The match began with Havoc charging at Cipher. He nailed Cipher with a big knee to the mid-section right off the bell. He then laid into Cipher with hard kicks to both knees. Cipher staggered away, favoring his right knee but Havoc kept the pressure on. He charged at Cipher and hit him with a forearm shot to the lower back. Havoc then lifted Cipher up and attempted to plant him with a back drop, but Cipher shifted his weight mid-move and landed on Havoc in a cross body. Cipher quickly pinned but Ref Johnny Beans only could reach two.

Cipher grabbed Havoc by the back of the head and shot him into the corner. Cipher then charged in and nailed Havoc with a hard clothesline, snapping his head backwards. Havoc then staggered forward out of the corner, his eyes glazed. Cipher then quickly applied a waist lock and planted Havoc with one hell of a German supplex. Havoc hit the mat with a thud and Cipher floated over into a cradle pin.

One…TWO…

Havoc kicked out at two and Cipher began arguing with Ref Beans. Cipher stood and shoved Beans, allowing Havoc time to recover. Cipher then turned to face Havoc, who had recovered. Havoc then shot off the ropes and nailed Cipher with a running jump boot to the face. Cipher went down hard and Havoc pinned.

ONE…TWO…Cipher was able to kick out, before Ref Beans counted the three.

Havoc then stood and began to drop hard boots to Cipher's mid-section. Havoc then grabbed Cipher by the hair and shot him into the corner. Havoc went to follow that up with a running corner splash but Cipher moved out of the way. Cipher darted across the ring, hit the ropes and nailed Havoc with a huge spear. Havoc was nearly turned inside out and Cipher called for the end. He quickly got Havoc back up to his feet pushing Havoc into the corner while he looks for the Silent Spear, and he nailed it! Cipher quickly covered Havoc but didn't hook the leg. Referee Beans refused to count as Havoc's leg was on the bottom rope. Cipher stood up and grabbed ref beans by the collar. He threatened the referee in the corner but Havoc quickly got back up and nailed Cipher with a low blow from behind. Beans didn't see it and Havoc quickly nailed Cipher with the Havoc Bomb to pick up the three.

Winner: Havoc

- [ * * * ] - Harmony - [ * * * ] -

Backstage, we caught up with Bart Bloodstone, who was packing up, after his match with Shadow Deviant. Freddy Fingers then approached him and asked him if he thinks, his brother is really ready to take on a mystery foe in Ramirez’s Chosen One. Bart quickly asked Freddy Fingers if he had any idea who the chosen one was, that even a hint would help a ton. Freddy replies that he has no idea who the chosen one was. And that he saw a fresh face leave Ramirez’s office a hour before the show, but he didn’t get a good look. Bart simply looked at Freddy and told him that it really doesn‘t matter, Johnny would be ready. Freddy then asked Bart what his plans are for next week in his second round match next week on Direct Hit. To that Bart simply responded, 'Harmony, of course.'

- [ * * * ] - Cyber Punk vs. Boomer - [ * * * ] -

The match began with Cyber Punk and Boomer locking up. Boomer broke free and nailed Punk with a hard knee to the stomach. With Punk doubled over, Boomer hit the ropes and nailed him with a hard boot to the side of the head. Cyber Punk staggered sideways but Boomer quickly caught him and applied a front face lock. Boomer then planted his feet and took Cyber Punk over with a supplex. Boomer rolled over quickly and pinned Cyber Punk, only to receive a two count from the ref.

Boomer then stood and looked out into the crowd, posing for a moment. This allowed Cyber Punk the opportunity to stand and hit Boomer with a hard forearm shot to the back of the head. Boomer staggered forwards into the corner. Cyber Punk then grabbed Boomer's legs as Boomer held onto the top rope. Cyber Punk then lifted Boomer completely horizontally and booted him in the mid-section. DBoomer staggered around the ring for a moment, before Cyber Punk turned him inside out with a clothesline.

As Boomer got back up, Punk grabbed his arm and brouth him to the ropes where he went for the Cyber Death Driver but Boomer back flipped out of it, hit the ropes and drilled Punk with a DDT! Cyber Punk rolled out of the ring and laid on the outside. Both men are down from the last exchange and the crowd is waiting to see which villain will come out on top.

Punk re-entered the ring, set Boomer up and drilled him with the Cyber Death Driver. He then fell into a pin.

Winner: Cyber Punk

- [ * * * ] - The Asylum against Anarchy - [ * * * ] -

‘Fight like this’ by Dycfer Down hit the speakers when we returned from commercial and Havoc made his way to the ring. Havoc pulled out a mic and began talking about how everyone wants to know what the Asylum is all about. He went on to explain, saying that without the Asylum, there could be no NLWF.

"If NLWF was a bunch of Bloodstone’s running around? Well, that just wouldn't be good television. The Asylum are here to bring NLWF down, and make sure that this place isn't all rainbows and lollipops. NLWF needs to mirror the real world, and in the real world, there is no such thing as good and evil. Right now, the world is in a state of uncertainty as Good is often confused with Self-Aggrandizing and Evil is often confused with Necessity. In NLWF, things are going to change. The Good will do evil things and the evil will find themselves to be heroes. The Asylum’s main goal is to turn this new promotion called No Limits Wrestling Federation on it's ear, and it truly begins tonight."

"The Asylum will be on a higher level of competition, and to prove so, tonight all the prestige and all the glory of this Tournament to the Title dies. And to do this all we have to do is take the bottom of the ladder and pick off all of the unnecessary appendages. Once this is complete, NLWF will be a utopia for the competitive and sadistic."

Havoc then pulled out the banner of the Tournament to the Title banner and laid it on the apron as he then began to pour gasoline on it. And as it sat there. Dripping from gasoline, Havoc pulled out a match book and just as he went to strike a match, Francesco Rossi theme cued up and surprisingly, Francesco Rossi made his way out onto the stage, looking almost angry.

"Stop sucking your own dick and shut the hell up for a second."

He said, much to the delight of the crowd in attendance.

"Now I'm not the ideal guy to talk about respect... but what you are doing right now is pissing on me and everything I’ve ever done in this business. When I see you standing there I sometimes think I'm watching the special Olympics, and I let it slide, but right now you're about the burn the banner that is giving fuel to everyone still active in the tournament that true legends are ready to tear their bodies to pieces night in night out to have a chance to be called champion."

He said, with a lot of the crowd standing and clapping as he spoke

"I know your stank ass will never have the opportunity of ever being called a legend, but to me it means a hell of a lot. I cant help it, but if you set that banner alight I'm gonna have to show you the bad end of a good old Seattle ass kicking right now you worthless sack of shit.”

Havoc then stared at Francesco Rossi and lit a match. Before he could drop it onto the banner, Francesco Rossi rushed the ring and attempted to take out the young star. He blasted Havoc with a forearm shot that staggered him but when Rossi went for a clothesline he got hit with a low blow. Havoc then began a serious beat down until Cyber Punk comes back out on to the ramp and rushed down the ramp with a fire in his eyes. He slid in the ring and begun to dump Havoc over the top rope. Cyber Punk then picked up the banner and held it high in the air as Rossi began to recover and we went to commercial.

- [ * * * ] - Aftermath - [ * * * ] -

Bloodstone goes to a corner and stands on the second rope, pointing out at the crowd, and signaling that the NLWF Championship was coming home to him and no one, not even Ramirez Silva could stop him. His brother Bart then ran out to the ring. And the members of the Straight Edge Gunners looked down at The Mexican Samurai, who was starting to stir. The Straight Edge Gunners then started to attack The Mexican Samurai, who initially went down under their assault. The two of them then pulled MS to his feet for a heinous double-team maneuver, much to the delight of the crowd.

The crowd woke up a little bit more as none other than former JWF superstar…TAILS made his way through the crowd to the front row, laughing as he watched MS get beat. The Straight Edge Gunners noticed him from the ring, and Johnny Bloodstone, with a little bit of a smile, beckoned for him to step inside.

"Is Tails the Chosen One Ramirez was talking about?"

Freddy Fingers noted.

"If it is then its Sharpie Time!"

Eric Jones added.

Tails climbed over the barricade and then into the ring, pulling out his Sharpie pen from his pocket. The Straight Edge Gunners held MS's arms and grabbed his head to hold him in place for the signing.

Suddenly, Tails dropped the pen and super kicked Bart Bloodstone in the face! He went down, and MS swung his now-free arm into Johnny Bloodstone's groin. The blow startled Johnny as he gets hammered back against the ropes by Tails, who whipped him across the ring. Johnny grabbed the ropes and slid out of the ring before the Epic Sensation could hit him on the rebound, but Tails just turned and started stomping on Bart, while MS gets to his feet, Tails turned around and dropped MS with the No World for Tomorrow. And he kicks the lifeless body of The Mexican Samurai out of the ring.

Tails then turned to the still-downed Bart Bloodstone. Tails stood him up and whipped him into the ropes, catching him around the legs on the rebound, lifting him up and back into dropping him with a flapjack. But Tails doesn‘t stop there as he picks up Bart and drops him with a No World for Tomorrow. Tails pulled out the sharpie while looking out at Johnny Bloodstone who was trying to enter the ring but was held back by ring crew, and writes ‘Sensational Epic‘ on Bart‘s forehead, triggering Tails music to be played, and the crowd booed.

"Why is Tails here and why did he not only attack the Bloodstones but The Mexican Samurai as will?!"

Freddy asked at commentary.

"Surely this is a sign of the End of Days here in NLWF as we know it!"
