April 9th Phoenix, Arizona

It's a packed house as Phoenix gets set to host another explosive edition of Insurgence. The crowd files in, most of them carrying signs that depict their hatred of a wrestler or their love for one, sometimes both on the same sign. As they file in, we look backstage and find Moose entering the building only to be headed off by Chastity Stills, the newest interviewer for AW.

Chastity Stills - Moose, anything to say about your return tonight?

Moose - You work here now?

Chastity Stills - Shannon's co-owner and hired a few new interviewers and referees, yeah.

Moose - You were a Glamour Girl.

Chastity Stills - Yes I was, in CWA and GWO.

Moose - And you want me to talk to you?

Chastity Stills - Please, just a comment on your match tonight, your return to the ring.

Moose - Chastity, tonight I will prove why I have been what AW has lacked. Simon signed on for the wrong team and I'll be glad to show him just how wrong his decision was. Is that a good enough answer for you?

Chastity Stills - Works for me, yes.

Moose - Well, now I can sleep tonight.

Moose heads for his dressing room and we see the opening credits roll, images of Rated R, Tommy Purr, Diego Alvarez, Moose, Parker Davis, De'Anton Maybon, 6Pac Dudley, Gerard Angelo, Rodd Gordon and Bombshell before we head to ringside where Henry Lesher and Ricky Simms are all set to call the action.

Hoshi Yakamoto vs FUBAR

"Surfing With the Alien" by Joe Satriani starts to play as Hoshi Yakamoto is walked towards the ring by Tanja Michaels and Bart Phillips. They get a warm reception from the crowd and Hoshi waves towards the fans as she reaches ringside and then jumps up onto the apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. Her music fades and the lights above the ring flicker, then go out for a moment and, when they come back up, we see FUBAR inside the ring behind her. He dropkicks her in the back, sending her face first into the turnubckle as referee Steve Blake calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Quick thinking by FUBAR to gain the early advantage. He has to be in a bad mood after dropping the tag team titles last week.

Henry Lesher - Well, he should realize his team sucked because he changed his whole approach to wrestling. It won't matter, but he at least made minimal effort.

FUBAR slams Hoshi's face into the corner buckle ten times before then headlocking her and giving her a bulldog to the mat. He then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. FUBAR stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and both wrestlers clothesline each other to the mat. Steve Blake starts counting them both down. On the four count, FUBAR rolls over and grabs the ropes and starts pulling himself to his feet. On the six count, Hoshi kips up to her feet and then gives FUBAR a spinning heel kick that sends him through the ropes and out to the floor. Bart Phillips has a few words for FUBAR there as FUBAR gets to his feet. FUBAR gives Bart the finger and then pulls himself onto the apron. Hoshi misses with a shoulder block there and FUBAR sets her for, picks her up and gives her a vertical suplex off of the apron and onto the floor.

Ricky Simms - I think he just knocked her out!

Henry Lesher - We might be lucky and have them both knocked out. What kind of idiot does a move like that off of the apron?

Referee Steve Blake starts counting both wrestlers out. FUBAR and Hoshi both use the apron to start pulling themselves to their feet. Hoshi kicks at the ribs of FUBAR. FUBAR eye gouges Hoshi, then rolls himself into the ring. A somewhat blinded Hoshi then does the same and Blake is able to stop counting. FUBAR gets to his feet, grabs Hoshi by the hair and sets her for a DDT. She fights out of that by running FUBAR into the corner buckle and then gives him a monkey flip she turns into a small package pin attempt. 1...2...3! Hoshi ekes out a win over FUBAR and the crowd goes wild!

Ricky Simms - A little bit of luck there for the Asian Sensation.

Henry Lesher - Don't call her that. It only encourages her to wrestle more.

As Hoshi starts for the back, she, Bart and Tanja are attacked from behind by an enraged, baseball bat wielding Black Lightning. He gives each of them a shot to the head with the bat and then drills it into the ribs of Hoshi twice before he then heads to the ring to check on his partner FUBAR.

Ricky Simms - No shock to see that kind of sportsmanship from that team.

Henry Lesher - Where was that killer instinct last week when they dropped the titles?

As security comes out to ensure that the situation in under control, we look backstage and find Kathy Smith getting ready for a fight this week. Shawna Miller enters the picture, wearing a referee's shirt.

Kathy Smith - What the hell is this? You and I have a match tonight.

Shawna Miller - No, my new job precludes me from wrestling.

Kathy Smith - You must be frigging kidding me.

Crystal Braun - *entering the picture carrying a microphone* She's not kidding. I got her job.

Kathy Smith - Where the hell did you come from?

Crystal Braun - Shannon hired me.

Kathy Smith - Then Shannon and I need to have a little talk.

Kathy storms out and Crystal and Shawna look at each other and shrug.

Bombshell vs Diego Alvarez

"I Am the Body Beautiful" by Salt N Pepa starts to play as Bombshell comes out from the back to a mixed reaction from the crowd. She simply shakes her head as she reaches ringside and looks around at the fans. She then steps up onto the apron and into the ring, this week minus Gerard Angelo who is usually at ringside. She tests the ropes as her music fades and we hear "Clash of the Titans" by Cypress Hill and Diego Alvarez comes out to the loudest ovation we have heard yet tonight. He stops at the entrance and looks around at the fans for a moment before continuing his walk towards the ring. He stops at ringside and looks into the ring at Bombshell. He tells her tonight she finally loses her title to him and then he pulls himself onto the apron where Bombshell greets him with a thumb to the eye before she backs off and allows him into the ring.

Ricky Simms - Rude welcome there by the Superior champ.

Henry Lesher - Clearly she lacks respect for Diego and that's been the problem all along.

As Diego steps into the ring, the bell sounds and the match is underway. Diego and Bombshell lock up. Diego then shoves her backward into the corner buckle and then gives her a knee to the ribs before giving her a double under hook suplex to the mat. Diego then gives her a leg drop across the throat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Bombshell. Diego stands her up, whips her off the ropes and ducks his head for a back drop. Bombshell gives Diego an elbow to the back of the neck and then a DDT to the mat before rolling him over for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Diego.

Ricky Simms - Both wrestlers with early pin attempts here.

Henry Lesher - No one cares.

Bombshell stands Diego up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him down to the mat. Bombshell then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top. She poses once there to the catcalls from the crowd and then leaps off for an attempted elbow smash off the top, only to find no one home as Diego rolls out of the way. Diego then quickly gets to his feet and puts the boots to Bombshell. Diego then stands her up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. As Diego rolls himself out of the ring, we then see Gerard Angelo coming out, carrying one of his crutches to the ring with him.

Ricky Simms - Gerry doesn't need crutches anymore, so I don't like where this is going.

Henry Lesher - I think it's a good plan. I mean, Gerry needs any help he can get.

Diego stands Bombshell up on the floor and whips her shoulder first into the steel steps while the crowd cheers. Diego then spots Gerard and makes his way over to him and the two of them start arguing. Referee Steve Blake tells Gerard to back off or he's going to be thrown out of the building. Gerard just laughs and says Vesuvius wouldn't like that much. Bombshell approaches Diego from behind. Gerard swings his crutch and Diego ducks it, the steel then meeting the forehead of Bombshell. Diego then quickly rolls her into the ring while the referee sends Gerard away from ringside.

Ricky Simms - A DQ saved that title for Bombshell against Diego before. It looks like they were trying the same thing again!

Henry Lesher - And much like anything else in Gerard's life, he failed.

Diego pulls a dazed Bombshell to her feet, picks her up over his shoulder and then gives her the Moral Dilemma and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Diego Alvarez is the new Superior champion!

Ricky Simms - Diego finally gets some recognition in AW, something he had fought long and hard for.

Henry Lesher - He beat up a girl. I don't see the big deal.

Diego rolls himself out of the ring and grabs the Superior title belt from the time keeper. He holds it high and the crowd cheers him on. He then starts for the back while security holds Gerard Angelo out of reach from any of this. He's clearly not impressed.

We cut to Hoshi walking backstage after her match with FUBAR. A towel draped around her neck, flushed and breathing heavy she sees the door to the locker room of her close relatives The Yakamoto Zaibatsu. Knocking on the door, she enters.

Hoshi Yakamoto – Everyone decent? Hello?

Takashi Yakamoto is sat in the room on a chair that is almost buckling due to his immense weight. He’s facing away from Hoshi as he puts the last touches to his wrist tape. The lights are off but there are candles and the glow creates a sinister atmosphere. Hoshi comes and sits in front of him.

Hoshi Yakamoto - Hey bro! Excited about you’re match tonight?

Takashi does not respond.

Hoshi Yakamoto - Takashi? Do you understand me?

Takahi Yakamoto - I understand.

Hoshi Yakamoto - So…your thoughts.

Takashi Yakamoto - I want to make McCoy scream with pain. He annoy me.

Hoshi Yakamoto - I’m happy that you’re enthusiastic about this match but…me and Daniel are friends.

Takashi Yakamoto - I…see

Hoshi Yakamoto - Thank you Takashi. Thank you for your understanding.

Hoshi begins to leave.

Yakamoto Takashi - You have crush on McCoy.

Hoshi Yakamoto - *sheepishly blushing* A little.

Takashi Yakamoto - I see. I not allow you to interfere then.

The screen suddenly starts becoming distorted and then we go to static.

Pyrotechnic blast go off from one side of the stage to the other, as Re-Align by GodSmack hits the arena PA. Smoke begins to billow out from the entrance ramp, as on the Giant screen is all black, accept for the five letters that slide across in glowing red.

A huge blast of flame go off as Simon steps out, with Xandra on his arm. He looks around the arena, with a smirk on his face as the crowd boos loudly. He looks at his wife, and this kiss, passionately for all to see. They then turn and head for the ring. They arrive at Ringside as Xandra climbs the steps and sits between the 2nd and third ropes holing them open for Simon, who continues to scan the crowd, and smile. He finally steps through. Simon is dressed in a white wife beater tank top, skully cap, and a pair of carpenter jeans with a black leather belt and large silver belt buckle, with black boots. Xandra is dressed in a pair of tight faded jeans, and a black baby T-shirt, that shows a bit of her belly. The music fades as Simon takes a microphone.

The crowd begins to chant "YOU Sold OUT!" loudly as Simon stands int he ring, smiling waiting.

Simon - The show just started, really we've got all night.

The crowd boos loudly, as the camera pans the crowd and sees signs ranging from "Simon sold out!" to "Simon sucks, Xandra Swallows"

Simon - Now all week, all I have heard is "Why? Simon, why?" Why would I turn my back on Rated R and the Skanes family? Why would I side with Vesuvius? Well I've got my reasons.

The crowd boos once again.

Simon - Well...you all seem to suffer from short term memory loss. Do you not remember that it was the Skanes family, with their dysfunction that forced the GWO to close it's doors? Do you not remember who the man was in the GWO that you all hated? That you all boo'd? Do you not remember who the man was that overcame all of that to become the world champion, and that same man was cheered by all of you? Well the man you hated then was Rated R, and he is the same man now that he was then. And the man you cheered then was ME! And I'm the same man now that I was then. The only differences are the name of the federation...and the fact that people are sheep! The Skanes family screwed me and my wife over. They took our time away from us! I was world champion and she was the GWO Woman's Champion, and it was our time to shine. But they took that away from us. They sold my contract to some second rate federation called Restricted Wrestling, and they gave my wife a pink slip. Is that anyway to treat people? But yet all of you idiots, sit there and you cheer them...and you boo me and my wife. Sheep...fucking sheep that's all you are!

The crowd boos loudly.

Ricky Simms - He still hasn't explained why he has sided with Vesuvius.

Henry Lesher - Give him a second...so far he has made some great points.

Simon - As far as Vesuvius goes. Well I remember once reading that the greatest trickt he devil every played was convincing the world he didn't exist. But you know what would have been better? Was convincg the world that he and God hated each other and then turning around and proving to you all, that the real fool was you, because you had all been had!

Ricky Simms - Is he trying to say that Vesuvius and him have always been friends?

Henry Lesher - I think he is calling all of the fans idiots...and he probably isn't far off.

Simon - At Blind Rage it took a crooked referee, who I'll handle later tonight, Diego Alvarez and Rated R all to keep me away from what is rightfully mine, the Anarchy Championship.

The crowd begins to chant Rated R.

Simon - You can chant all you want because he doesn't have the balls to come out here now!

As if on cue we hear "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out to a loud ovation from the crowd. Rated R runs to the ring and slides in. He grabs the mic out of Simon's hand.

Rated R - You know you are a real piece of work Simon. You know I watched you int he GWO and as much as I wanted to destroy you there, I respected you, and the way you went about doing things. You fought on your own, it was admirable, really. But to do what you did at Blind Rage...well now my friend you have put yourself squarely in the cross hairs of a war you wanted no part of. Simon you are going down...one way or another, and your whore, and Vesuvius, and Gerard and Bombshell they will go with you!

Xandra grabs a steel chair from ringside and slides into the ring behind Rated R, she cocks back, but Rated R turns to face her. He grabs the chair away from her like he is going to hit her, but before he can he is blasted to the back of his head by a fore arm smash from Simon. Simon quickjly picks up Rated R, hoist him up onto his shoulders and performs a 7th Sign on Rated R, dropping him face first onto the steel chair. The crowd cheers loudly as the Rong of Power run to the ring. As they enter, Simon and Xandra slide out of the ring and begin to back up the ramp. Myst checks on Rated R as Shannon points at Simon and yells. Re-Align begins to play over the PA, as Simon and Xandra begin to kiss passionately, they then look tot he ring and laugh. Simon points to Rated R, who has managed to get to his feet. Simon gestures around his waist, then points to Rated R.


Backstage again we see Shannon Skanes emerging from a utility closet, a smile on his face. His smile fades as Kathy enters the picture.

Kathy Smith - You made Shawna a referee?

Shannon Skanes - Kathy, we have made a number of changes in staffing now that I am here. AW has been making a lot of money by overworking three referees. I simply hired another three referees and insured we would have five backstage interviewers.

Kathy Smith - Why her?

Shannon Skanes - It pulls in the male demographic a bit seeing as she's hot.

Kathy Smith - This is a mistake, she'll be as crooked as Mark Davis.

Shannon Skanes - Maybe she will. I'm just giving her a chance and maybe she'll fall on her face.

Kathy Smith - We're supposed to be a team, all three of us. Speaking of three, where's Myst?

Shannon looks down for a moment, then looks back at the closet.

Shannon Skanes - I assume she's getting dressed.

Kathy Smith - Nice to see you have your priorities straight.

Shannon Skanes - Oh I know the top priority, Kathy. You don't need to worry about that. AW will be one hundred percent ours soon.

Kathy just shakes her head and walks away.

Yakamoto Takashi vs Daniel McCoy

"Shadows of War" by Loudness plays as Takashi makes his way out from the back and then stops in the entranceway in a Sumo stance. Lights darken and blue strobes flash as he then marches the rest of the way towards the ring. He receives a loud chorus of boos from the capacity crowd. He then makes his way up the ring steps and then steps through the ropes into the ring where he then crouches in the corner and awaits his opponent. "Delilah" by Mindset starts to play as Daniel McCoy then comes out to a very different reaction than Takashi just got. McCoy makes his way to the ring, giving fans high fives along the way. He then makes his way around the ring, looking inside at Takashi and nodding his head as if he is appraising his opponent this week. McCoy climbs onto the apron and enters the ring from the corner opposite to Takashi. Referee Joe Davidson then calls for the bell and the match is underway.

Ricky Simms - Quite the challenge here for McCoy.

Henry Lesher - The greater challenge is for us in having to watch this tripe.

McCoy and Takashi move in and lock up. Takashi then shoves McCoy to the mat and then takes up a Sumo stance while a rocked McCoy backs up to the ropes before pulling himself to his feet. McCoy moves in again, locks up again and Takashi again shoves McCoy down to the mat, this time with enough force to send him right out to the floor. Takashi then drops and rolls himself out of the ring to the floor. He stands McCoy up only to take a jawbreaker from Daniel and then Daniel pulls the feet out from under Takashi. Daniel McCoy then rolls himself into the ring for a breather as Takashi struggles to get back to his feet.

Ricky Simms - The one drawback a large wrestler has is stamina. If Daniel can make this match last, he could tire Takashi out.

Henry Lesher - I know watching a McCoy match tires me out.

Takashi  rolls himself back into the ring where McCoy then lays the boots to him in an effort to keep him down on the mat. Takashi uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet through the onslaught. McCoy whips Takashi off the ropes. Takashi ducks a clothesline and then gives McCoy a reverse neck breaker and then gives him a two handed choke down on the mat. Referee Joe Davidson counts to four before the choke is broken and Joe warns Takashi about these tactics.

Ricky Simms - Takashi punishing McCoy here.

Henry Lesher - Takashi's about ready to punish Joe Davidson, too.

Takashi stands McCoy up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a vicious karate chop to the chest that sends him down to the mat. Takashi then goes to the ropes and starts to climb while the fans cheer. The big man reaches the top and allows himself a brief smile before executing the Jawdropper on the falen Daniel McCoy before he goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Takashi with an impressive debut this week, picks up the win over Daniel McCoy.

Ricky Simms - That was an execution.

Henry Lesher - Can we book him to face Hoshi next week then?

Ricky Simms - She appears to be in rough shape, actually. It's doubtful she'll be ready for action next week.

Henry Lesher - Then this guy should be paid double if he had anything to do with it.

As Takashi heads out of the ring and starts for the dressing room, we take a look backstage and find Diego Alvarez with the Superior title over his shoulder when he comes across Kosmic Kitty backstage.

Kosmic Kitty - Nice belt.

Diego Alvarez - Thanks, uh, nice Twinkies.

Kitty holds her Twinkie basket up, but she then frowns.

Diego Alvarez - Something bothering you?

Kosmic Kitty - Well, I was supposed to fight Radd this week and he never showed up.

Diego Alvarez - Yeah, I know the feeling. It happens.

Kosmic Kitty - I just wanted to hand out my Twinkies and make the fans smile.

Diego Alvarez - Come with me then.

Diego takes Kitty by the arm and brings her out into the aisle leading to the ring. Kitty throws her Twinkies towards the crowd while Diego again holds his newly won title high over his head. Kitty then hands her Twinkie basket to a lucky little boy in the front row and waves to the crowd. She gets one of the loudest ovations of the night so far.

Henry Lesher - Where's a sniper when you need one?

Ricky Simms - Oh, come on now, the fans love her.

Henry Lesher - Fans love baby seals too, but they are still getting clubbed, cute or not.

As Kitty and Diego then start for the back again, we see Jason Knight on the big screen over the entrance.

Jason Knight - You know what? This is so cute and so gallant of Diego to do this. I personally want to reward you both next week. Kitty, if you want someone who will show up, you've got it. Simon versus Kitty at next week's Insurgence. Diego, you want to play the hero? Be the ultimate hero and bring down Nameless is you dare. There, now you both have matches you should be happy with or should at least shut you both up.

Kitty and Diego both shake their heads as they continue their walk into the backdstage area.

Henry Lesher - I wonder what Rated R thinks of another man befriending his woman.

Ricky Simms - Oh come on, there's nothing to it.

Henry Lesher - I don't know, Rick. Kitty has that reputation.

Ricky Simms - Only to you.

Sal Clemenzo vs Gerard Angelo

"Halls of Fear" by Nino Rota plays as Sal Clemenzo then makes his way out through the curtain and into a standing ovation from the crowd as his quick recovery from the buried alive match at Blind Rage. Sal is walked towards the ring by Serena Marcelli and she takes her place at ringside as Sal jumps onto the apron and then jumps over the top rope into the ring. He tells the camera Vesuvius will be swimming with the fishes when all is said and done. His music then fades and we hear "Unretrofied" by Dillinger Escape Plan and Gerard Angelo comes out, carrying a crutch in his hand and telling the camera it has Diego's name on it. Gerard stops at ringside and shouts a warning towards Serena. Sal then greets Gerard with a baseball slide that sends him into the guard railing. Sal then starts putting the boots to him on the floor before then whipping him shoulder first into the steel corner post. Sal then rolls Gerard into the ring before rolling himself into the ring and the bell sounds to put this match into the books.

Ricky Simms - This will be brutal now that Gerry threatened Serena.

Henry Lesher - First he costs his girlfriend a title and now he's threatening Sal's woman? All he needs to do now is make some racial slurs on his way out and his death will be certain before the night is out.

Sal stands Gerard up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him to the mat. Sal then stands Gerard up, whips him into the corner and gives him a clothesline in the corner before giving him a hip toss to the center of the ring where he applies a full Nelson.

Henry Lesher - Is that the Masterlock?

Ricky Simms - No, it's a full Nelson.

Referee Francis Clarke checks on Gerard to see if he submits, but Gerard refuses to do so. Gerard makes an attempt to power out of the hold while Sal tries to lock his hands behind Gerard's head. Gerard does manage to stand up and then runs backwards, slamming Sal into the corner. Gerard then locks his left foot around the bottom rope and that forces the break. Sal releases the hold and takes a series of elbows to the jaw from Gerard. Gerard then snap mares Sal to the mat and applies a sleeper hold on him. Now Clarke is checking on Sal for a submission and, as he did with Gerard, doesn't receive one.

Ricky Simms - Good back and forth action here in this one.

Henry Lesher - Hard to believe they have both been world champions. I mean, Sal makes sense, but Gerard?

Francis Clarke raises Sal's arm once and it drops. He raises it a second time and it drops. He raises it a third time, but this time Sal keeps it raised and then starts showing signs of fighting his way out of the hold. Gerard releases the hold and then headlocks Sal and gives him a bulldog to the mat before trying for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Sal. Gerard then stands Sal up, whips him into the corner buckle and then runs in for a shoulder block only to find no one home as Sal steps aside and Gerry's shoulder strikes the steel corner post instead. Sal then picks Gerard up and scoop slams him to the mat. Sal then knee drops Gerard across the forehead and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Gerard. Sal then stands Gerard up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a dropkick in the corner.

Ricky Simms - Sal really taking over now.

Henry Lesher - Well, of course he is. Sal is an actual wrestler.

We then see Bombshell heading towards the ring and she grabs Gerard's crutch off the floor and heads for Serena. She hauls off as if to hit Serena with it from behind, but a hand grabs it from her. The camera turns and we see Shannon Skanes wagging a finger at Bombshell. He then steps over the railing and chases Bombshell towards the back. Sal takes notice and asks Serena if she's okay and she nods. Gerard then rolls Sal up from behind, hooking the tights while he does so. 1...2...3! Gerard Angelo scores a win thanks to a distraction this week. Gerard quickly exits the ring and starts for the back.

Ricky Simms - Distraction cost Sal the match.

Henry Lesher - Shannon's fault.

Ricky Simms - Hey, if it wasn't for him, Serena would by lying in a pool of blood right now.

Henry Lesher - All Shannon's fault.

As a stunned Sal tries to figure out what happened here, we look backstage and find 6Pac getting ready for his match with Parker when Crystal Braun enters the picture.

Crystal Braun - 6Pac, tonight you have a big match with Parker. Thing is, wherever Parker goes, Maybon is usually around as well. How will you combat this?

6Pac Dudley - Crystal, if they even try that on me, they'll regret it for a very long time.

Crystal Braun - But you're one man and they're two.

6Pac Dudley - Don't talk down to me.

Crystal Braun - I'm not. I just think that numbers being what they are...

6Pac Dudley - The numbers are in my favor. If Maybon tries anything, he'll find that out fast.

6Pac storms out of the dressing room and we head back to the ring.

Rodd Gordon vs Spartacus Conway

"Pride" by Damageplan plays as Rodd Gordon makes his way out towards the ring, his Xtreme title held high above his head. He shows it to the camera and says there isn't anything anyone can do to stop the champ. He then reaches ringside and poses with the title around his waist for a small section of his fans in the front row. He then tosses the belt to the time keeper and then jumps onto the apron. He steps into the ring and tests the ropes as his music fades and then we hear "Slither" by Velvet Revolver and Spartacus Conway comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He keeps his head down while he makes his eay towards the ring.

Ricky Simms - Rodd facing a challenge for his title on a night where we have already seen one title change hands.

Henry Lesher - Jobber A and Jobber B get set to duel here and I get ready to sleep.

Rodd stands inside the ring and motions Spartacus towards him. Spartacus reaches under the apron and pulls out a trash can and then steps onto the apron. Rodd dropkicks the trash can into Spartacus' face and Conway drops to the floor while referee Shawna Miller calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Shawna's first match is a hardcore match?

Henry Lesher - There's no rules, so she doesn't have to enforce any of them.

Ricky Simms - There's some doubt she will anyways.

Rodd exits the ring and pulls a fire extinguisher out from under the apron. He then drills Spartacus in the face with it and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Conway. Rodd then stands Conway up, whips him into the steel railing and then gives him a snap suplex on the floor to the delight of nearby fans. Rodd again goes for the pin on the floor. 1...2... kick out by the challenger. Rodd then stands Spartacus up and rolls him into the ring. Rodd pulls a table out from under the ring and slides it into the ring before rolling himself in as well. Rodd sets the table up while a dazed Spartacus tries to compose himself. Rodd headlocks Spartacus only to have Spartacus pick him up, turn himself and Rodd around and then gives Rodd a fall away slam through the table. Conway then tries for the pin. 1...2... Rodd kicks out.

Ricky Simms - I thought it was over there.

Henry Lesher - We're not that lucky.

Conway gets to his feet, picks Rodd up over his shoulder and runs him into the corner, head first. Conway then gives him a power slam to the mat and then rolls himself out of the ring. He reaches underneath the apron and pulls out another table. He sets it at ringside while Rodd shows signs of life and uses the ropes to start getting to his feet. Spartacus leaves the table set up next to the ring and then rolls himself into the ring only to be greeted by the kicks of Rodd Gordon. Rodd stands Spartacus up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Rodd then stands Spartacus up, whips him to the ropes and Spartacus holds on to them, stopping his momentum. Rodd charges at Spartacus and Conway ducks, back dropping Rodd over the top rope and through the table at ringside. Spartacus then climbs to the top rope and launches himself from there, landing a flying elbow across the chest of Rodd Gordon. Cinway then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Spartacus becomes the second new champion of the night!

Ricky Simms - In what some may consider an upset, Conway is the new Xtreme champ of AW!

Henry Lesher - I'm upset that it took time off my life. I want those minutes back.

Conway takes the title belt and shoves the camera out of the way as he heads for the back, not taking time to show off or do the usual celebration we would see here. We then look backstage where Simon is in Jason Knight's office. Phil Castle is seen sitting across from Jason as well.

Phil Castle - I don't see the problem.

Simon - I want Ryan next week. That's the problem.

Jason Knight - Kitty is a good way to piss Ryan off.

Simon - I am the rightful champion here. Kosmic Kitty is a jobber.

Phil Castle - You get the win and you move on. I still don't see the problem.

Simon - Look, if I do this, I get Ryan at the next pay per view.

Jason Knight - *laughs* So you're booking yourself then?

Phil Castle - We need to name a number one contender, so you get to prove yourself in two weeks when we do that.

Simon - What's the plan?

Jason Knight - We show the entire locker room you're the heir apparent. We'll do what we have to. You just keep winning.

Simon - Who's calling my match with Moose tonight?

Phil Castle - Mark Davis, like you even have to ask.

Simon - Fine, next week I destroy the Twinkie Princess. Next up, Rated R.

Simon leaves and Jason Knight and Phil Castle nod at each other, their plans coming together week by week.

6Pac Dudley vs Parker Davis

"Southtown" by POD plays as 6Pac Dudley makes his way towards the ring, the crowd cheering him on. He stops in front of the camera and poses once before continuing on his way towards the ring. He then jumps onto the apron and leaps over the top rope into the ring. He climbs onto the second rope and poses once more for the crowd before jumping back down as his music fades. We then hear "Cold Beverage" By G. Love And Special Sauce and Parker Davis starts towards the ring, the crowd booing him and loudly. Parker puts his hand to his ear and seems to enjoy their hatred as he makes his way to ringside. He then starts arguing with 6Pac Dudley from the floor and tells referee Mark Davis to make him back off. Mark Davis does as he's told and physically moves 6Pac back while Dudley tells the referee he will regret touching a champion.

Ricky Simms - Mark Davis calling a Parker Davis match. I wonder if they're related.

Henry Lesher - Yes, just like every Smith in the world is. I understand Parker's first cousin is snooker legend Steve Davis. He's also the bastard son of former WWE star Danny Davis.

Ricky Simms - That would explain a lot.

Parker steps up onto the apron and then steps into the ring. Mark Davis calls for the bell and the match is underway. 6Pac steps towards Parker. Parker signals for a timeout and then thumbs 6Pac in the eye before giving him a series of kicks to the ribs. Parker then gives 6Pac a gut wrench suplex to the mat and then goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by 6Pac. Parker shakes his head as he then stands 6Pac up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a monkey flip to the mat. Parker then goes to the ropes, makes his way to the top and launches himself for a head butt from there only to find no one home as 6Pac rolls out of the way. Parker almost knocks himself out when he hits the mat and 6Pac rolls him up to try and take advantage. 1...2... kick out by Parker Davis.

Ricky Simms - I'm surprised Parker's awake enough to kick out after that.

Henry Lesher - I'm surprised Parker hasn't ended 6Pac yet.

6Pac stands Parker up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a lariat to the mat and then 6Pac gives him an elbow smash across the throat before he goes for the pin again. 1...2... Parker kicks out. 6Pac stands Parker up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a backdrop to the mat from there before he then boot chokes Parker, using the ropes for added leverage. Referee Mark Davis then shoves 6Pac off of Parker and warns him that more of that will result in a disqualification.  6Pac has a few wrods for the referee and then turns his attention back to Parker. Parker pulls the feet out from under 6Pac and then quickly applies a Boston Crab on 6Pac. Referee Mark Davis asks for a submission here and 6Pac shakes his head and refuses. 6Pac reaches for the ropes as the crowd starts a chant for him. Parker screams at the fans to shut up as we see De'Anton Maybon marching towards the ring.

Ricky Simms - Oh great, look who's coming.

Henry Lesher - This is a great turn of events. Now I suddenly give a damn about this match.

6Pac reaches out and manages to grab the rope on his next effort and Mark Davis waits a few seconds before requesting the break of the hold. Parker then stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and 6Pac ducks a clothesline and gives Parker a dropkick that sends him out to the floor. 6Pac then turns and spots Maybon at ringside. The two start jawing at each other, but 6Pac suddenly smiles and the fans cheer. Dex and Rex Cooper stroll out of the crowd, step over the guard railing and Maybon immediately backs off when he sees them. Parker is distracted outside the ring and shouts at Mark Davis to get them out of here. 6Pac then lands a suicide dive through the ropes onto Parker, sending him to the floor. 6Pac then stands Parker up and rolls him into the ring. 6Pac rolls himself into the ring and looks to the cheering crowd and nods.

Ricky Simms - New Age Dog Pound are here and 6Pac is taking advantage!

Henry Lesher - Oh great, more idiotic Canadians, just what this company needs.

6Pac rolls himself into the ring, knees Parker in the gut and then gives him the Drive By before going for the pin. 1...2...3! 6Pac defeats Parker Davis and the crowd cheers.

Henry Lesher - 6Pac is going to pay for this.

Ricky Simms - The numbers game factored into this, but not the way Parker had planned.

6Pac leaves the ring and shakes hands with Dex Cooper and Rex before the three of them start towards the back, victorious for tonight. We then look backstage and see Gerard Angelo entering Jason and Phil's office. Only Phil Castle is present.

Gerard Angelo - Phil, this is a load of bull.

Phil Castle - What are you talking about?

Gerard Angelo - That Superior title rightfully belongs to Bombshell and you know it.

Phil Castle - Well, regardless, Diego has it now. I'm sure you can find him if you want to challenge him for it.

Gerard Angelo - I was the GWO champion. Diego is nothing to me.

Phil Castle - So you want a match then?

Gerard Angelo - Anytime, anyplace.

Phil Castle - Next week then, you and Diego battle it out.

Gerard Angelo - He'll be the shortest lived champion in AW's brief history.

Angelo then exits while Phil nods and smiles, another plan coming together.

Nameless vs Dragon

"Sober" by Tool plays as Dragon comes out to the cheers of the crowd. He holds his newly won Monarch title belt high. He then marches towards the ring with the belt over his shoulder. He stops at ringside and shows the belt to the camera. He then hands it off to the time keeper and then rolls himself into the ring. His music fades and we hear "Pain Redefined" by Disturbed and The Nameless is walked towards the ring by Emily Blackstone. She stops and reads the first message Nameless has given anyone since his return from exile.

Emily Blackstone - Dragon, you are a myth and Nameless will show you why you should have stayed away from AW. Nameless will give you more pain than anyone ever has in your storied career. Now is your chance to walk away unscathed. Now is your chance to save your pretty face from being destroyed at the hands of the next AW champion, Nameless.

Dragon takes the microphone from ring announcer Kosmic Kitty.

Dragon - No, you're wrong. I am the next AW champion. It's about time a real man held that title.

Nameless moves quickly towards the ring while Dragon takes up a defensive stance and motions Nameless on. Emily Blackstone shakes her head as she watches Nameless march up the ring steps where he gets into a fight with Dragon right away, the two of them exchanging rights and lefts. Nameless shoves Dragon backwards and then steps through the ropes. Referee Francis Clarke calls for the bell and the match is underway. Nameless gives Dragon a series of head butts that send him into the corner buckle. Nameless then grabs Dragon around the throat and sets for a choke slam, only to have Dragon give him a series of elbows to the side of the head. Dragon then shoves Nameless backwards into the corner and gives him a series of kicks to the ribs. Dragon then sets Nameless for and delivers a vertical suplex to the mat. Dragon then gets to his feet, pulls Nameless up and gives him a German suplex to the mat. Dragon again stands over the former AW champion and nods his head.

Ricky Simms - Dragon is really taking it to Nameless tonight.

Henry Lesher - He's another wrestler who is in over his head. This should be quick.

Dragon stands Nameless up, whips him off the ropes and then both men clothesline each other down to the mat. The crowd starts a chant for Dragon as referee Francis Clarke starts counting them both down. On the three count, Nameless sits straight up and then starts getting to his feet. As he reaches his feet, Dragon kips up to his and then the two men are face to face, neither of them backing down. Nameless gives Dragon a knife edge chop to the chest. Dragon answers with one of his own. Nameless gives Dragon a knee to the ribs and Dragon does the same in return. Dragon then whips Nameless off the ropes, ducks his head for a backdrop and Nameless greets him with a big boot to the top of the head. Dragon crumples down to the mat.

Ricky Simms - That had to hurt.

Henry Lesher - Not too much, there are no vital organs in Dragon's head.

Nameless goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Dragon. Nameless then stands Dragon up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Nameless rolls out and follows Dragon to the floor and then plants a boot on his throat and stands on it for a few seconds. Nameless then picks Dragon up over his shoulder and gives him a running power slam onto the floor. Nameless stands Dragon up, rolls him into the ring and then rolls himself into the ring as well. Nameless again goes for the pin on Dragon. 1...2... kick out by Dragon.

Ricky Simms - Dragon's still kicking out after that beating?

Henry Lesher - Like I said, hit him in the head and it does nothing.

Nameless pulls Dragon to his feet and sets for a choke slam. Dragon kicks Nameless in the knee caps and then ducks under and gives him a fireman's carry before dropping Nameless to the mat. He then signals to the crowd that he is all set to end this right here and now. We then hear "Tear In My Beer" by Hank Williams Sr. and we see Dwayne Kingston on the big screen, a smile on his face.

Dwayne Kingston - Partner, you done gone and won that match last week to get my title. Now I feel all nekkid without it and that's your fault, as I see it. Soon, yous and me gonna tangle and it's gonna get real ugly for you son. It's gonna get real ugly fast.

Nameless turns Dragon around, grabs him around the throat and gives him a choke slam and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Nameless gets the win thanks to Dwayne Kingston's distraction!

Dwayne Kingston - Aww, now, did I do that? Partner, that's heaven compared to what I gots in store for ya. There's room for one king around here and I am it!

His image then fades as we hear him laughing to himself. Nameless shows no reaction to any of it as he exits the ring, another victory under his belt as he starts to pursue a rematch for the AW title. We then look backstage and find Shannon Skanes in Jason Knight's office.

Shannon Skanes - So this is how it is?

Jason Knight - There's no need to rock the boat.

Shannon Skanes - I'll be rocking the boat, all right. Next week's card is a joke.

Jason Knight - Okay, name a match then.

Shannon Skanes - Next week, Sal Clemenzo and I against Bombshell and Gerard Angelo.

Jason Knight - Fine, now leave me alone so I can do my job.

Shannon Skanes - Funny you should mention that. Vesuvius and I own this place. Phil Castle if the GM. We need to evaluate your position here and decide whether you're necessary. I have Tony Parizi on that already.

Jason Knight - I have a very important function here!

Shannon Skanes - Then you will have nothing to worry about, will you?

Shannon exits the office and Jason Knight suddenly looks very nervous.

Moose vs Simon

"Sold You" by Seether plays and Simon is led towards the ring by his wife Xandra. The crowd greets them both with chants of "Simon sucks," which they both ignore entirely. Xandra takes her place at ringside and turns to have a few nasty words with fans in the front row. Simon climbs up onto the top rope and then jumps down into the ring, telling them all to show a little respect for the next world champion. His music then fades and we hear "I Feel Alright" by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. Moose comes out to a loud chant of his name and he quickens his pace when he sees Simon inside the ring. Moose slides into the ring and quickly gets to his feet where he starts trading rights and lefts with Simon as the bell sounds to get things started. Moose sees Mark Davis there to call this match and then proceeds to slam his and Simon's heads together. Moose then tosses Simon through the ropes to the floor and then tosses Mark Davis down next to him. Moose then takes the microphone from Kosmic Kitty.

Moose - Here's the deal. Mark Davis is calling this match? Shannon says that's fine and that makes this a no disqualification match!

The crowd cheers as Moose then rolls himself out of the ring and grabs the ring steps and then smashes them over the head of Simon. Moose then goes for the pin, grabbing Mark Davis' hand and slapping the floor with it. 1...2... Simon rolls a shoulder out. Moose then stands Simon up and starts to whip him towards the steel corner post only to have Simon reverse it and Moose's head bounces off the steel before Simon gives him an inverted atomic drop and then a clothesline to the floor. Simon then grabs the steel ring steps he was struck with and clocks Moose with them. Simon then nods towards Xandra and she removes the leather belt she was wearing on her black skirt. Simon wraps the leather belt around his fist and punches Moose in the forehead, opening a cut the stairs has already caused a little more. Simon then holds one end of the belt and whips Moose across the back with the other end five times, the slaps echoing throughout the arena.

Ricky Simms - My God, this is turning brutal.

Henry Lesher - This might make up for the rest of the night.

Simon wraps the belt around Moose's throat and drags him around the ring, making a full lap while mocking concerned fans at ringside. Simon then stands Moose up and rolls him into the ring. He ties the other end of the belt to the bottom rope and then rolls himself inside. Simon puts the boots to Moose while Moose tries to free his throat from the belt. Simon nods towards Xandra again and this time she throws brass knuckles to her husband. He places them over his fingers, cocks his fist and drills it into the already bloodied face of Moose. Simon then looks out at the crowd and mocks them again. Moose struggles on the mat and Simon leans down and asks him if he wants to give up. Moose responds by spitting in Simon's face.

Henry Lesher - That's not smart.

Ricky Simms - Moose is the toughest SOB I have ever seen in this business. He won't give up this easy.

Simon boot chokes Moose in the bottom rope as the crowd starts a chant for the fallen Moose. We then see Dragon rushing in from the back, a chair in hand. He slides into the ring and Xandra shouts a warning to Simon. Simon turns and sees Dragon there, holding the chair and smiles. Simon takes a step towards Dragon. Dragon raises the chair and threatens to lower it across the head of Simon. Simon dares him, while, behind him Moose frees his throat from the belt. Moose then trips Simon and, on the way down, Dragon clocks Simon with the chair. Dragon then exits the ring while Moose watches him with suspicion.

Ricky Simms - Dragon making a save for Moose?

Henry Lesher - No, it has more to do with his jealousy of Simon.

Moose goes for the pin, but referee Mark Davis is still out cold. Dragon rushes over to Davis and stands him up and rolls him into the ring. While he does so, Simon drills Moose in the throat with the brass knuckles and then rolls him over for the pin, using the ropes for added leverage. 1...2...3! Dragon slaps the mat with the steel chair as Simon's arm is raised in victory after a fast count by Mark Davis.

Ricky Simms - Moose got screwed over this week!

Henry Lesher - Mark Davis is the most fair referee we have. You don't see that because you're an idiot.

The fans start a "bullshit" chant as Simon bows before them. Moose then gives Simon a low blow, turns him around and delivers the Moosedriver. That brings the crowd out of its seats and, when he turns and looks at Xandra, she rushes away from the ring as fast as she can. Moose then turns back and looks at Dragon. Dragon heads for the back while a bloodied Moose hears his name chanted again by twenty thousand AW fans.

Ricky Simms - Moose may not have won the battle, but he won the war.

Henry Lesher - He's a sore loser. That doesn't surprise me. We should call him Moose Foley based on his AW record.

Ricky Simms - Oh, stop that.

Backstage we see Chastity Stills waiting outside of Dragon's dressing room. She paces nervously and then we see Phil Castle walking in.

Phil Castle - If you're waiting for Dragon, he won't be here.

Chastity Stills - Why not?

Phil Castle - For trying to cheat Simon out of a win, Dragon has been kicked out of the building for the night

Chastity Stills - Well, as we saw it, he was trying to even a handicap match with Xandra helping Simon out.

Phil Castle - Xandra was allowed to be there. Dragon wasn't. He need to be sent a message, I guess. He already has Kingston pissed at him and now he's picking a fight with Simon?

Chastity Stills - So what happens next week?

Phil Castle - Dragon wants to save Moose? Fine, then he can fight Moose next week.

Chastity is left standing alone as Phil vacates the scene and she's left without an interview with the unlikely hero of the night.

Rated R vs De'Anton Maybon

"Creep" by Radiohead plays as De'Anton Maybon starts making his way towards the ring. He gets a loud chorus of boos to greet him as he slowly makes his way towards the ring. He is at ringside when Parker Davis finally appears and limps his way towards the ring, nursing numerous bruises from his match earlier tonight. The tag champs carry their belts over their shoulders and Parker takes Maybon's so that he can step up onto the apron and then he steps through the ropes into the ring. He then leans back against the ropes as his music fades and then we hear "I Hate Everything About You" and AW champion, Rated R, makes his way out into the aisle to the loudest ovation of the night. He high fives a few fans as "Edge sucks" chants start, then he comes face to face with Parker at ringside and the two of them start arguing. Maybon then rolls out of the ring while referee Steve Blake tries to convince everyone they need to get into the ring.

Ricky Simms - This one will get violent fast.

Henry Lesher - I don't care, as long as it brings back the violent Ryan we saw at Bloodshed.

Rated R ducks a punch from Parker and it connects with the jaw of Maybon. Rated R then rolls himself into the ring while the tag champs talk things over and Parker apologizes for the head shot. Maybon then turns back to the ring, pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Steve Blake calls for the bell and Rated R locks up with Maybon. Maybon shoves Rated R into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of punches to the ribs. Rated R then gives Maybon a knee lift and then switches positions with him before giving him a series of rights and lefts to the jaw. Maybon stumbles out of the corner and Rated R taps him on the shoulder, causing him to fall face first to the mat.

Ricky Simms - The champ in full control here.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, but I want to see him turn violent. I miss the old Rated R. I have a lot of fan mail here stating...

Ricky Simms - I saw those and they are all in your handwriting.

Henry Lesher - No, you're wrong. All Rated R fans have excellent penmanship.

Ricky Simms - Sure thing, Sybil.

Rated R places the fallen Maybon into a camel clutch. Referee Steve Blake checks for a submission while the fans get another chant started for the champ, Kosmic Kitty sitting at ringside and leading the cheer. Parker Davis takes notice of this and starts making his way around to Kosmic Kitty. Inside the ring, Maybon refuses to submit here. Maybon starts to power his way out of the hold Rated R has on him. He reaches for the ropes as Rated R notices Kosmic Kitty backing away from Parker Davis. Rated R releases Maybon and rolls himself out of the ring to confront Parker.

Ricky Simms - I am sick of him pulling this.

Ricky Simms stands up from the announce table, removes his headset and walks up behind Parker. Maybon rolls himself out of the ring, turns Rated R around and starts giving him rights and lefts to the jaw. Rated R thumbs Maybon in the eye and then rolls him back into the ring. Ricky Simms turns Parker around and gives him a knee to the ribs and then a stunner that shocks Parker and the crowd. Simms then heads back to the announce table, puts his headset back on and sits down while a "Ricky, Ricky, Ricky" chant gets started.

Henry Lesher - What the hell was that?

Ricky Simms - Parker has ruined so many matches lately and his bullshit intimidation of Samantha has reached the boiling point for me. I am tired of him and Maybon, the bastards of AW, running around and pulling their shit without anyone saying anything.

Henry Lesher - I..... I.... ummm, wow.

Rated R whips Maybon off the ropes and then knees him in the gut, sending him somersaulting through the air before he lands on his tailbone on the mat. Maybon cries out in pain and Rated R headlocks him, stand him up and goes for a bulldog only to have Maybon shove him hard into the corner buckle. Maybon then goes for the school boy roll up, complete with a holding of the ropes. 1...2... Rated R kicks out. Steve Blake then sees Maybon's hand holding the ropes and gives him a warning. Parker starts getting to his feet at ringside. The chants for Ricky Simms are dying down, but Parker knows who hit him. Parker starts for the announce table. Ricky Simms gets up from his position at the table, folds the chair he was sitting on and holdsit up while again throwing his headset aside.

Henry Lesher - Words fail me right now.

Maybon sees this going on and leans through the ropes to take a swing at Ricky. He then turns back, takes a kick to the face from Rated R and then gets picked up and dropped with the Restricted before Rated R goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Rated R wins and the crowd explodes. Parker backs away from the chair toting Ricky when Rated R rolls out of the ring to join him. Parker tells Ricky he'll pay next week and to watch his back. Ricky gives him the finger and spits in his direction.

Henry Lesher - I wouldn't believe this if I wasn't seeing it. Ricky snapped. I mean, it's been coming for weeks. Every time he sees Parker he gets mad. Simply amazing and what a beating Parker will give him next week. I'll have to remember to watch that Insurgence instead of just dozing off throughout it. Most of my witty comments are from behind my eyelids. It's all crap, for the most part.

As Ricky and Rated R ask Kitty if she's okay, we head backstage where Simon has stormed into Phil Castle's office.

Phil Castle - People do knock, you know.

Simon - I want Dragon in that ring next week!

Phil Castle - Not happening, the contract with Kosmic is already signed and Dragon has a date with Moose.

Simon - Then I want him the week after.

Phil Castle - Yeah, but that's when we name the number one contender.

Simon - Look, Castle, you get me a match with Dragon! Make it happen!

Phil Castle - Whoa there, no need to blow a gasket. I'll see what I can do.

Simon - You'd better. I'll take a rematch with Moose while you're at it, too.

Phil Castle - One match at a time there, champ.

Simon storms back out of the office and we head to the ring for our main event.

Max Cameron vs Tommy Purr

"Hell's Bells" by AC/DC plays and we expect Max Cameron to come out, but instead we find Tommy Purr and Max brawling their way into the aisle. Tommy thumbs Max in the eye and then slams his head into the guard railing. Max responds with a forearm upper cut on Tommy and then whips him into the guard railing before then giving him an atomic drop. Max then dumps Tommy into the first row of the crowd. Max follows that up by making his way the rest of the way to the ring. He rolls himself into the ring and then holds his hands high for the cheering crowd, most of whom were won over by seeing Tommy dumped into the crowd. Tommy slowly pulls himself over the guard railing and then makes his way to the ring, not looking impressed. Tommy stops at ringside and then pulls himself onto the apron where Max takes a swing at him only to have Tommy duck it. Tommy then shoulder blocks Max through the ropes and then steps into the ring and rakes Max's eyes along the top rope into the corner where he slams Max's head into the buckle.

Henry Lesher - You going to commentate?

Ricky Simms - I could care less right now. Parker is threatening me? I was a wrestler long before him!

Henry Lesher - You haven't won a match since Jimmy Carter was president.

Ricky Simms - Shut up.

Tommy whips Max into the opposite corner and then gives him a sidewalk slam from there before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Max. Tommy then stands Max up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a spear to the mat and again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Max Cameron. Tommy slaps the mat and has a few words for referee Joe Davidson about the speed of his count. Tommy then stands Max up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Tommy then drops down and rolls out to the floor where he stands Max up, then whips him shoulder first into the ring steps. Tommy then picks Max up over his shoulder and takes aim at the corner post. Max slides off of Tommy's shoulder and then whips him into the steel corner post shoulder first. Max then rolls himself into the ring and quickly gets to his feet, then kicks Tommy through the ropes to stop the count on him. He tells referee Joe Davidson he wants no count out in this one.

Ricky Simms - I'm trying to maintain interest in the match, but.... next week. You know what? Parker wants a fight? He's got one. Next week I'll face him inside that ring!

Henry Lesher - You're completely off the deep end. What is it with you defending Kitty?

Tommy pulls himself onto the apron and then steps into the ring where Max greets him by placing him in an abdominal stretch. Tommy refuses to submit and quickly shows signs he is going to power out of this move. Max releases the hold, whips Tommy off the ropes and Tommy ducks a clothesline and then gives Max a reverse neck breaker to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Max Cameron. Tommy stands Max up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges in for a shoulder tackle only to find no one home when Max steps out of the way. Max then rolls Tommy into a small package. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Max is then arguing with Joe Davidson about the speed of his count while standing Tommy up. He whips Tommy off the ropes and Tommy ducks a clothesline and then places Max in a backslide which brings his shoulders to the mat. 1...2... kick out by Max.

Ricky Simms - Lots of near falls.

Henry Lesher - Oh, now you're watching and not being insane?

Tommy stands Max up, whips him off the ropes and then dropkicks him to the mat. Tommy then rolls himself out of the ring and folds a chair at ringside and then slides back into the ring. Referee Joe Davidson warns Tommy against using it, but Tommy slams it across the back of Max Cameron and the referee is forced to call for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Tommy gets disqualified as he tires of not being able to put Max away here.

Henry Lesher - Someone needs to put him away for good.

Tommy throws the chair down and exits the ring and starts for the back. He tells the camera he is the clear winner because he is the man still standing after the fight. The camera then turns to Ricky Simms who is still seething.

Ricky Simms - That's it for tonight folks. Tune in next week when I will make my AW debut inside the ring.

Henry Lesher - Yep, you're still insane.

We fade to black on Max Cameron inside the ring, struggling to get back to his feet after Tommy's attack.
