December 14th, 2008


"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor plays quietly as the number 2007 slowly fades up and then fades away, taking the music with it. We then see footage from BLPW's last King of Philadelphia tournament final.

Shane Gallard - Ladies and gentleman, this is the Finals of the BLPW King of Philly Tournament, and it will be a BLPW Chamber of Horrors Match! The rules of this match are as follows:

- The match will be held inside a 20 ft tall Elimination Chamber, with 4 interior glass chambers. There will also be a metal staging around the ring where the 4 interior chambers are.

- Each chamber will house various weapons and a new chamber will open every 3 minutes. On the inside walls of the chambers, there will be 4 ladders locked to the side of the walls.

- When the 4th and final chamber is unlocked there is a key ring inside of it with 4 different keys for each ladder. A wrestler must grab the key ring, find the right key and unlock a ladder before he can climb it.

- The first person to retrieve the title belt hanging from the roof of the chamber is declared the winner.

Introducing first, from Parts Unknown.....This is NC-17!!!!

["Miss Murder" by AFI blares over the PA system as the fans start cheering for NC-17. He slowly walks down the aisle obviously suffering from his previous matches. He slaps the hands of the fans as he climbs the steps and into the chamber. He goes to a corner and raises his arms in the air as the fans cheer louder for him.]

And his opponent, from Oakland, California...This is "Double J" Joe Jones!!!

["End of the Line" by Devildriver blares over the PA as JJ makes his way down to the chamber followed by Shawn Sanders. The fans are booing both of them as JJ slowly makes his way up the steps and into the chamber. He ignores the fans as the referee on the outside locks the chamber door with two separate chain locks. To insure there is no interference the referee turns and hands the keys to another referee who leaves the ringside area.]

Paul Stevenson - Here we go!

Richard Evans - This is gonna be brutal!

[The referee calls for the bell ring to start the match. NC-17 and Double J meet in the middle and JJ points up to the KOP Title belt hanging from the ceiling of the cage. NC slaps JJ across the face and JJ is enraged!]

Paul Stevenson - What an insult!

Richard Evans - You don't slap Double J!!!

[JJ tackles NC to the mat and begins firing away on him with right hands. The overhead clock on top of the cage begins counting down and there is 3 minutes until the first chamber opens. JJ picks up NC and tries to toss him over the ropes, but NC blocks it and tosses JJ over the ropes out onto the steel grating floor that's flush with the ring. NC springboards off the top rope and hits a cross body block on JJ and they crash down on the steel grating. JJ slowly gets to his feet and so does NC. NC takes a running start and tries to spear JJ, but he sidesteps him! NC goes crashing head first into the glass chamber with a thud! NC slumps down by the chamber holding his head.]

Rob Stallion - I'm surprised that glass didn't break when his head smacked into it!

Richard Evans - Ehh, we all know NC-17 is a waterhead anyway!

Paul Stevenson - A waterhead? Now you're trying to offend the handicapped too?

Richard Evans - Hey, my goal is to offend everyone Stevenson!

[JJ grabs NC by the mask and starts ramming his face into the glass chamber! NC-17 is hurt as JJ finally stops and looks around playing to the crowd. JJ sees that NC is hurt so he starts to scale the cage.]

Paul Stevenson - Is he gonna try to get the belt without using a ladder?

Richard Evans - I don't see how he can. This cage is shaped like a dome!

Rob Stallion - Maybe he's really Spiderman or something.

[Double J begins to climb up the side of the cage, but then he turns and sees that his back is parallel to the ground. He lets his feet dangle and then drops back down onto the metal grating right next to NC-17. He stomps his feet in anger as he realizes it would be taught to get to the belt that way.]

Paul Stevenson - I don't know what he was thinking....

Richard Evans - Well you know Paul, he probably does have more grip strength than most men....

Rob Stallion - And with that he's officially offended homosexuals!

[Double J tries to get into the chamber that contains weapons, but he can't get it open. He continues trying to kick the door and is yanking on the handle as well but he can't get it open. At this point NC-17 is trying to get to his feet so JJ turns his attention back to him. JJ tosses him back into the ring and kicks NC right in the gut. JJ looks up at the clock above the first chamber and sees that there is only about a minute left before it opens. JJ backs up and goes to kick NC again, but this time NC gets up and hits him with a superkick right in the face! Double J looks to be out of it as he's laying flat on his back on the mat. NC-17 falls as well and crawls through the ropes and towards the chamber which is about to open in

The buzzer sounds and the chamber door opens. Inside are a table, a steel chair, a kendo stick, a trash can and a huge stop sign! NC reaches in and grabs the kendo stick and the trash can. Double J staggers towards the ropes and NC takes the trash can and puts it over JJ's head and arms. NC then steps back in the ring and starts nailing the trash can with the kendo stick, while it's on JJ's head. JJ staggers into the corner and is leaning against it as NC quickly goes out of the ring and grabs the steel chair. JJ falls into the corner and is sitting down with the garbage can still on his head. NC-17 has the chair and runs across to the opposite side of the ring. NC gets a running start and surfboards the chair right into the can and face of Double J!! The fans are going crazy as JJ looks lifeless in the corner!]

Paul Stevenson - Man, Double J is taking a beating in there!!

Rob Stallion - There might be nothing left of these guys by the time they can actually get to the belt!

[NC removes the trash can from Double J's head and we can see he's been busted wide open again. NC drops the chair on the mat and picks up Double J. NC nails the Angel's Wings on the chair on Double J. JJ looks to be out of it as NC gets up and goes through the ropes again. NC is pulling on one of the ladders on the side of the cage, but he can't get it loose.]

Richard Evans - That dummy! Doesn't he realize he needs the key to get the ladder loose?

Rob Stallion - Maybe he wasn't paying attention when they announced the rules for the match.

Richard Evans - Can you blame him? I fell asleep while they were announcing all the rules for this match.

[NC looks frustrated as he turns his attention back to Double J. NC kicks JJ in the gut and then puts the chair in JJ's lap. NC turns away and runs towards the opposite corner. NC turns and runs towards JJ, but JJ gets up with the chair in his hand and swings it like a baseball bat cracking NC-17 across the face with the chair! JJ slams the chair down on the mat and then picks up NC-17. JJ piledrives NC-17 on the steel chair in the middle of the ring! JJ exits the ring and goes out onto the metal staging and goes into the open chamber. JJ drags out the table and sets it up on the grating outside the ring. JJ goes back in the ring and picks up NC-17 on his shoulders. JJ walks towards the ropes and dumps NC over the top rope and onto the grating on the outside. JJ follows him out and rolls him up on the table. JJ also follows him up on the table and is setting him up for a piledriver. JJ punches NC in the ribs and then hoists him up. JJ piledrives NC through the table and to the grating below!!!]

Paul Stevenson - My God, if his neck wasn't broken before it has to be now!!!

Richard Evans - And in just a few seconds, yet another chamber is going to open with more weapons available.

Rob Stallion - This match isn't going to end up pretty.

NC-17 is down and holding his neck in pain as Double J rolls out of the crumbled table and is holding his tailbone. JJ rolls under the bottom rope and back into the ring as he looks up at the clock on top of the second chamber...

The buzzer sounds and the chamber opens. Inside the second chamber is another table, a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, a huge roll of barbed wire, and another trash can filled with various items. JJ begins crawling across the ring towards the open chamber and he crawls through the ropes and towards the chamber. Double J grabs both the barbed wire bat and the huge roll of barbed wire and he holds them above his head. The fans are booing.]

Paul Stevenson - I don't even want to know what Double J plans to do with those....

Rob Stallion - I can tell you this much....it won't be good.

[NC-17 is still hurt outside the ring as Double J is walking around the ring to the other side of the metal grating. Double J starts unwinding some of the barbed wire as he makes his way towards NC. NC rolls over on his back and Double J reaches down with a loop of the barbed wire and wraps it around his neck. Double J puts his knee in NC's back and begins choking him with the barbed wire! NC is trying to block it with his hands but he's still being choked out. NC is gasping for air on the bottom as JJ is still trying to choke him out. JJ starts dragging NC by the neck back towards the ring. He drags him through the ropes back into the ring and NC is barely on his feet. Double J reaches down and grabs the barbed wire bat. As Double J raises the bat above his head to strike NC-17, NC kicks him in the groin! Double J drops to his knees and as he does NC hits the ropes and nails a Shining Wizard on JJ!!]

Paul Stevenson - I can't believe NC-17 is fighting back! I thought he was dead!

Richard Evans - Well just about every part of his body is bleeding and he was almost choked out by barbed-wire. I'm sure he's pretty pissed off right now.

Rob Stallion - Yeah I think that would piss me off too....

[NC-17 takes the opportunity to grab the barbed wire bat. NC holds it over his head and then drives it down into the head of Double J! NC is raking the bat across the head of Double J as we can hear Double J screaming out in pain! NC smashes his head one more time before standing up. We can see that Double J's forehead is a bloody mess as he puts his hands on his face. NC goes to the second rope with the bat. NC comes off and drives the bat right into the forehead of Double J! Double J is writhing in pain on the mat rolling around as NC raises the bat over his head and the crowd is cheering! NC drops the bat on the ground and goes to the outside of the ring. NC drags out the table and tosses it into the ring. He also tosses the trashcan into the ring as well which spills out over the ring.]

Paul Stevenson - Is that a Nintendo?

Richard Evans - Yeah, and there's also a football helmet and a Yield sign!

Rob Stallion - And look, it's Stevenson's charisma....in the can....

Paul Stevenson - You're not funny.

[NC waits as Double J gets to his feet. NC picks up the Nintendo and cracks Double J over the head with it! The sound echoes through-out the building as the Nintendo shatters all over the place. NC grabs the football helmet and puts it on his own head. NC goes to the top rope quickly. NC comes off and nails a flying headbutt with the football helmet on his head! The fans are going crazy as now the clock above the third chamber is counting down.

The buzzer sounds and the third chamber opens. Inside the chamber we see a metal snow shover, a bottle of lighter fluid, a box of matches, and a huge board covered with barbed wire! NC gets to his feet and he sets up the table from the previous chamber in the ring near the corner. NC then makes his way outside the ring and he grabs the barbed-wire board and brings that into the ring. NC sets the barbed wire board on top of the table and begins walking towards Double J. NC is dragging Double J towards the corner and picks him up on his shoulder. NC sets JJ on the top rope and then follows him up. NC punches Double J a few times, but Double J responds with a few shots of his own. Double J looks to have gained the upper hand and looks like he's gonna slam NC through the table and barbed wire. NC blocks it at the last second and headbutts Double J. Double J is stunned and as he is, NC-17 hooks him in a suplex and superplexes Double J off the top rope and both go crashing through the barbed wire board and the table!!!]

Richard Evans - Holy shit!!! They both crashed through that table!

Paul Stevenson - Matches like this will take 10 years off their lives!

Rob Stallion - Believe me I know. That's why I'm sitting here with you guys, and not still in the ring.

[Both Double J and NC-17 are laying motionless in the crumbled barbed wire board and the table. They're both tangled up in the barbed-wire as well as the fans are silent, not sure how to react to what has happened. After what seems like an eternity, NC-17 finally moves and his mask and pants are caught in the barbed wire. He's bleeding all over his body, as is Double J. NC tries to get up but then falls back down on his back in the barbed wire. Meanwhile the clock on the final chamber which contains the keys to unlock the ladders on the side of the domed cage is counting down.]

Paul Stevenson - Will either of these guys even be able to climb a ladder after this?

Richard Evans - I seriously doubt it...

Rob Stallion - I don't. These guys are warriors!

[Double J as well is trying to get up out of the barbed wire but his entire body is covered in cuts and he is covered in blood. His hair is also tangled in the barbed wire as he's trying to get it loose. He finally does as he decide to try and roll out of the barbed-wire. Double J does successfully but also rolls over more of the wire cutting himself. Double J sees that NC is having trouble getting up and decides to make it even harder. Double J grabs some of the loose barbed-wire and begins wrapping it around the arms and upper torso of NC-17! Double J twist ties the barbed wire when he's done as the clock counts down for the final chamber!

...1!

The buzzer sounds and the fourth chamber opens. Double J reaches up and grabs the key ring with the 4 keys on it. Also inside the chamber is another table, a pane of glass, a few steel chairs, and another trashcan filled with various weapons. Double J fumbles with the keys as he walks over to the nearest ladder that is chained to the side of the cage. Double J is feverishly trying the keys as NC is trying to get out of the barbed-wire.]

Richard Evans - Double J wants to get that ladder and get to the top of the cage!

Paul Stevenson - Can you blame him?

[Double J finally finds the correct key. He unlocks one of the chains on the top. He then bends down and unlocks the other chain on the ladder as well. As Double J pulls the ladder away from the cage, suddenly the ladder falls into two pieces! Double J looks down in shock at the ladder that has basically fallen apart!]

Rob Stallion - What the hell? That was a faulty ladder!

Paul Stevenson - We were told to expect anything in this match, and that has certainly been the case!

Richard Evans - Are you kidding me? All that work, and the ladder is trash!

[Double J is disgusted as NC-17 has finally managed to get himself loose from the barbed-wire. Double J takes a portion of the broken ladder and tosses it into the ring hitting NC-17! NC collapses on the mat again as Double J goes to another side of the cage and is trying to unlock the lock on the ladder. Double J finally manages to find the right key and unlocks the ladder. This time the ladder is not broken and Double J pulls it down onto the staging area. Double J tosses the ladder over the top rope and into the ring as NC-17 is slowly trying to get to his feet. JJ sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring and he begins his climb.]

Paul Stevenson - Man, I'm not sure if that ladder is tall enough!

Richard Evans - Yeah, Double J might just have to stand on top of the top rung to reach the belt!

[Double J starts climbing the ladder as NC-17 is still down. Double J is climbing and continues to climb. He's almost at the top, but he's still a good distance away from reaching the belt. Double J has reached the second to last rung and is still a good distance away. Double J looks around as if he doesn't know what to do. The crowd is cheering as NC is starting to get to his feet. Double J goes for broke as he's standing on the very top rung of the ladder and is still a couple inches short! Double J is reaching but he isn't tall enough. Suddenly, NC-17 tips over the ladder as Double J jumps to try and reach the belt. Double J's momentum along with that of the ladder sends him crashing to the outside staging around the ring!]

Rob Stallion - Holy shit! Double J has to be dead after that!!!

Richard Evans - There's no mats or anything out there! That's just solid steel grating!

Paul Stevenson - Man that landing did not look good.

[Double J is writhing in agony holding his ribs and back as NC-17 crawls towards the ring of keys which Double J dropped in the ring. NC grabs the keys and slowly crawls out of the ring towards one of the final two ladders remaining. NC-17 fumbles with the keys for a minute as well before finally finding the correct key. He's able to get down the ladder and he drags it over the top rope and into the ring. NC-17 collapses in the ring as he finally drags the ladder into the center of the ring. NC is struggling to get the ladder up as he's suffering from exhaustion and has lost blood. Double J is trying to roll back into the ring but is holding his ribs in tremendous pain. NC sets up the ladder and begins climbing up the ladder. It's a slow climb as he's very badly beaten up. Double J is crawling towards the ladder as NC-17 is getting to the top. NC-17 is trying to reach for the belt but Double J is trying to tip the ladder over with his hand as he lays on his back. NC sees this and turns around and drops a leg from the top of the ladder on Double J!!]

Paul Stevenson - Wow this match has been incredible!

Richard Evans - Just insane!

[NC-17 looks to have some momentum now as he looks somewhat refreshed. NC goes into the chamber and he emerges with the huge pane of glass! NC sets up the pane of glass in the corner as he goes to another chamber and grabs a table. NC sets up the table in the middle of the ring and then sets the pane of glass on the table. NC then grabs two steel chairs out of another chamber and he sets them up on top of the table. He then takes the pane of glass and bridges the two chairs with it!]

Rob Stallion - What the hell is NC-17 thinking?

Richard Evans - I don't know, but it doesn't look good.

[NC picks up the lifeless Double J and sets him up on the top turnbuckle facing towards the crowd and the cell. NC-17 goes to the outside and climbs the top rope as well. NC is setting Double J up for a powerbomb intending to drive him through the glass and the table below! NC is trying to hoist Double J up, but he's resisting it. Double J finally nails NC with a low blow and looks to have saved himself. Double J hops down and then rocket launches NC off the top rope and into the side of the side of the chamber!!]

Paul Stevenson - Double J might've saved his career there!

Rob Stallion - I'm inclined to agree with you there Paul.

[Double J grabs the keys from outside and goes for the last ladder. He sees that this ladder is much bigger and will be easier to get to the title with. Double J gets the ladder loose and puts it on the top rope and over into the ring. Double J is setting up the ladder in the ring as NC-17 is regaining his senses and trying to get back in the ring. Double J is making his way up the ladder and is about halfway up before NC is in the ring and grabs his foot. JJ kicks him off and tries to climb again. Instead, NC starts climbing the other side of the ladder and is trying to get to the top as well. Double J reaches up to get the title which is at his finger tips but as he does, NC chops him in the throat! JJ is stunned as NC reaches now as well and has his finger tips on the belt. Suddenly Double J reaches out and grabs NC by the groin!!!]

Paul Stevenson - He's got a handful of his nuts!!!

Richard Evans - What is he doing? This isn't his hotel room!

[NC yells out in pain as JJ slams NC off the top of the ladder. NC-17 goes crashing through the pane of glass and the table set up below it!!! NC-17 is completely out of it as the fans are both gasping in horror and cheering as well!]

Rob Stallion - JESUS CHRIST!!!

Richard Evans - I've said this before, but I really mean it this time......I think NC-17 is dead!

Paul Stevenson - I can't believe what I've just seen!!!

[Double J looks down and sees the lifeless body of NC-17 before looking up at the King of Philly belt. Double J with seemingly his last burst of energy reaches up and unhooks the belt from the loop. He grabs the belt and collapses onto the top of the ladder!!!]

Shane Gallard - The winner of this match, and this years WINNER of the King of Philadelphia Tournament...."DOUBLE J" JOE JONES!!!!

[EMT's are quickly at the door of the chamber and are unlocking it to get to NC-17 who is still down and hasn't moved since his fall.]

Paul Stevenson - I can't believe what I saw. NC-17 went crashing off the top of that 12 ft ladder through the pane of glass and through the table! He's still laying in a pile of glass and broken table!

Richard Evans - Man, I don't know if I've seen a match that crazy ever....

Rob Stallion - This might be the one and only time the BLPW ever uses this Chamber of Horror again...

[From the back, "Hot Stuff" Shawn Sanders comes running out as well and enters the chamber. Sanders gets into the ring and is helping Double J down from the ladder. Sanders is holding him up and raising his hand as the fans are half booing and cheering the performance of both men! Sanders is helping Double J out of the cage, as EMT's are still attending to NC-17 in the ring. They've brought the stretcher out, but suddenly NC-17 rolls over and is pushing the stretcher away. He's trying to get to his feet on his own as the fans are cheering for him. As this is happening, Double J and Sanders are on their way back to the locker room.]

Paul Stevenson - I don't even know what to say about what we've seen tonight....

Richard Evans - It's been a night of.......carnage.

Rob Stallion - Bodies have been battered, and bones have been broken, and I'm glad I was here to see it!

We then hear "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor play again and a slow fade is done to the Rocky statue. We see images of the Philadelphia Phillies celebrating their World Series win and then a video of Jeff Carter scoring for the Flyers before we head to ringside where Ricky Simms and Henry Lesher are ready to call tonight's action.

Ricky Simms - Welcome to Philadelphia!

Henry Lesher - Is that what that smell is?

Ricky Simms - History will be made here tonight as the CWA crowns its first King of Philadelphia. I am personally looking forward to this.

Henry Lesher - Well, yeah, but you don't have a life.

"For You" by Paperback Hero plays and the crowd cheers as Eli Ryder makes his way onto the stage. He then makes his way down the ramp towards the ring, giving fans high fives as he makes his way then around the ring before he pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Sammy Jo Johnson then starts announcing the competitors in the match, but we instead hear "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park and Myst makes her way onto the stage with a smile on her face while the crowd boos.

Myst - Oh, I love you all as much as you love me. I mean that. You see, tonight I had to make a hard choice. Eli, I have looked at your work lately. I especially am looking at your work last week. I have to be honest. I didn't like what I saw.

Eli motions to Sammy Jo who throws him her microphone.

Eli Ryder - Just what are you doing out here? I am here to fight tonight. I am getting back that title belt from Moose.

Myst - Yeah, this tournament leads to the winner getting a title shot. This tournament awards the winner a million dollars from the CWA coffers and that's why there is so much interest in tonight's affair. The problem is, I don't see you as having the heart.

Eli Ryder - Why don't you come down to the ring and question my heart?

Myst makes her way down the ramp and the crowd cheers. She scowls as she stands at ringside and looks around at the fans before she pulls herself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. She nods her head and motions for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Is this an impromptu match?

Henry Lesher - Myst is inside the ring and the bell sounded.

Myst - No, you're not facing me, Eli. In fact, you're done.

Eli Ryder is attacked from behind by JC Michaels and Gary Barber who are each carrying chairs. As they beat down the former champ, Myst drops and rolls herself out of the ring. She is grinning ear to ear while the crowd boos.

Myst - This is a handicap no DQ match and the loser is fired from the CWA.

Ricky Simms - This is crap! Eli has been railroaded!

Henry Lesher - Looks like Myst is a fan of the EVC. Good for her. There is hope for her yet.

Following a series of chair shots from the two EVC members, Gary Barber picks Eli up and places him in a bear hug while JC climbs the ropes in the corner. JC leaps off and gives Eli a devastating clothesline to the mat where he and Gary pin Eli to the mat while Tony Parizi slips into the ring and counts the pin. 1...2...3! Eli has been fired.

Ricky Simms - This is disgusting. Eli has been a great champion for this company and that's how he gets treated?

Henry Lesher - No, NC-17 was a great champion and, as soon as he was gone, Eli was done.

Gary and JC celebrate as if they won the Super Bowl while the fans start a chant of "Bullshit" and shower the ring with garbage, also tossing some in the direction of Myst who is retreating up the ramp.

Ricky Simms - The fans are choked. This is an outrage.

Henry Lesher - This is great!

Backstage, Precious is seen standing beside Bombshell in the Divas locker room.

BOMBSHELL: You're going to do excellent out there, Precious ... you have advanced and learned so quickly and so well.

PRECIOUS FAIRCHILD: Have you seen the crowd out there? It's sold out, Yvonne? This is huge ... it's monumental, girl ... and the fact that I'm about to put on a make or break match-up for my career is just ... God ... I'm shaking, I'm so excited ...

BOMBSHELL: That's good! If you're not shaking with excitement and anticipation every time you get ready to step through the curtain, then you've lost your passion for this business.

Hoshi Yakamoto steps into the frame.

HOSHI YAKAMOTO: Did I hear you talking about passion, Yvonne?

BOMBSHELL: Hey Hoshi ... what's up?

HOSHI YAKAMOTO: I just wanted to let you know that I know about you and Jack.

Bombshell and Precious exchange an uncomfortable look as Hoshi shakes her head.

HOSHI YAKAMOTO: Why didn't you tell me sooner, Yvonne?

BOMBSHELL: I just thought-

HOSHI YAKAMOTO: It's okay ... I just wanted to let you know that I don't have any anger towards you two. You two belong together ... and I'm happy for you.

BOMBSHELL: That's so sweet, Hoshi ... thank you.

HOSHI YAKAMOTO: But ... there is one thing that I ask as a favor.

BOMBSHELL: What's that?

HOSHI YAKAMOTO: How about you let me give you a kiss ... for good luck in your match tonight? You ARE standing under the mistletoe you know?

The Divas look up to find mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. Bombshell smiles as Hoshi nods her head. Hoshi puckers up and closes her eyes ... but before Bombshell can exchange the kiss, Precious puts her hand on Bombshell's chest and steps forward, giving an innocent and tender kiss to Hoshi that causes the sell-out crowd to go crazy with cheers. Bombshell is in shock as Hoshi opens her eyes and is also taken aback by Precious' surprising act. Precious smiles, blushing slightly ...

PRECIOUS FAIRCHILD: Thank you ... that's just what I needed ...

Precious winks and walks out of the locker room. From off to the side, Frank Merritt enters the picture. Frank looks at Bombshell ... then at Hoshi ... then out of the locker room after Precious ...

FRANK MERRITT: DAMN!

Shadow vs. Jack Spade

"King of the Stereo" by Saliva plays as Jack Spade emerges on the stage, already fighting with Shadow. Spade whips Shadow into the stage's backdrop and then he gives him a German suplex to the stage. Spade then starts choking Shadow while referee Steve Blake tries to pull him off of Shadow, threatening to end this match before it starts. Spade releases the choke, then picks Shadow up and slams him onto the stage while the crowd cheers him on. Spade then picks Shadow up again and gives him a power slam onto the steel.

Ricky Simms - Spade is clearly going after his EVC opponent based on what just happened to Eli out here. The crowd is really antsy now.

Henry Lesher - They're idiots. Spade's an idiot as well, aligned himself with the wrong people.

Jack Spade stands Shadow up and pulls him down the ramp to ringside. Spade then slams Shadow's head into the ring apron and then whips him shoulder first into the steel guard railing. Spade then stands Shadow up and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself in which allows the referee to call for the bell to make the match official. Spade stands Shadows up and then rakes his eyes along the top rope into the corner buckle where he slams Shadow's head into the buckle repeatedly. Spade then gives Shadow a side Russian leg sweep to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... Shadow rolls a shoulder out.

Ricky Simms - Close call, Spade almost winning this in record time.

Henry Lesher - He has to attack Shadow like this or he's going to lose and he knows it.

Jack Spade stands Shadow up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick back down to the mat. Spade then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. He then leaps and goes for a Swanton Bomb, but Shadow rolls out of the way and Spade hits the mat instead. Shadow then rolls himself out to the floor and indicates that he wants a timeout, though the referee keeps counting him out anyway. Spade collects himself and rolls out to the floor after Shadow. Spade starts trading punches with Shadow and then tries to whip him into the steel corner post, but Shadow plants his feet and sends Spade into the corner post instead and then gives him a chop block that brings him down to the floor. Shadow then rolls Spade, then himself, into the ring and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Spade. Shadow then stands Spade up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a round house kick and then gives him a spear to the mat and again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade.

Ricky Simms - I think we'll see a lot of early pin attempts. This is a marathon tournament, so if you can conserve any energy at all, you are a step ahead.

Henry Lesher - We will agree there, Rick.

Shadow stands Spade up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him an inverted atomic drop followed by a spinebuster to the mat. Shadow then stands over Spade and smiles. Shadow starts putting the boots to Jack Spade and then grabs him around the throat and pulls him to his feet. He kicks Spade in the gut and sets for a suplex, but Spade blocks it and then gives Shadow a snap suplex to the mat. Spade goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shadow. Spade stands Shadow up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block on him, but Shadow side steps it and sends Spade shoulder first into the corner and then gives him a Rock Bottom to the mat and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Spade.

Ricky Simms - I thought that was it.

Henry Lesher - Looks like Divine Intervention will need some divine intervention to survive the night.

Shadow stands Spade up, whips him off the ropes and Spade ducks a clothesline and then gives Shadow a reverse neckbreaker to the mat. Spade goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shadow who then rolls himself out to the floor. We see Shadow reaching into his tights while Spade rolls out after him. Spade grabs a handful of Shadow's hair, turns him around and takes a wicked right hook to the chin that sends him to the floor. Shadow then keeps his right first clenched as he stands Spade with the left and then rolls him into the ring while tossing a steel spike to the floor out of sight of the referee. Shadow then rolls himself into the ring and goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Shadow wins his round one match and moves on.

Ricky Simms - You could have counted to fifty as the former CWA champ was robbed.

Henry Lesher - Robbed? I think not. Shadow is simply the better man.

Shadow celebrates inside the ring and is joined by Gary Barber and JC Michaels and the three of them stand over an out cold Jack Spade. JC has the microphone tossed to him by Sammy Jo Johnson.

JC Michaels - That's two down and since Nameless didn't show up tonight, that just leaves you Tommy. That leaves you against all of us. If you don't like it, we don't care!

JC tosses the microphone out of the ring and the three EVC members leave while Henry Lesher is seen standing and applauding.

Ricky Simms - Doc, just sit down.

Scavenger is seen hobbling backstage, the chair under his arm and being used to help balance him. Tough Eagle enters the picture, not looking happy.

Tough Eagle - I asked Wyatt if we could get this match changed, but he said Myst won't budge.

Scavenger - I think the hangover is worse than the knee.

Tough Eagle - I will wrestle in your place then.

Scavenger - No way. I will take my medicine tonight and preserve my career.

Tough Eagle - Gary Barber will kill you inside the ring. The EVC is in control tonight. Eli is out. Spade is hurt. Purr can't fight them all himself and you are in no shape for this.

Scavenger - I must maintain my career in the CWA.

Tough Eagle - Your pride is going to get you killed.

Scavenger - I'd rather die a hero than live as a coward.

Tough Eagle - You've been watching Mel Gibson movies again. This isn't a movie, Scav. This is as real as it gets.

Scavenger - I am going to fight tonight, no matter what.

Tough Eagle sighs and mumbles to himself as he then exits the room and we head back to the ring for our next match.

Moose vs. Xtasy

"X Gonna Give It To Ya" by DMX plays as Xtasy comes out onto the stage, carrying a Sean Bean cut out as he makes his way down the ramp. The crowd gives him a warm reception. Xtasy talks to the Sean Bean cut out as he sits it at ringside and then he pulls himself onto the apron before he steps through the ropes into the ring. He then tests the ropes while he continues his one-sided conversation, his music fading. "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits plays as The Moose makes his way onto the stage, the crowd giving the new CWA champ a huge ovation as he stands on the stage with the title belt raised high above his head. Moose puts the belt over his shoulder as he makes his way down the ramp to the ring, then he hands the belt off the timekeeper before he gives the Sean Bean cut out a sideways glance and then he steps up onto the apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring.

Ricky Simms - This is an odd first round match up, for sure.

Henry Lesher - Xtasy is a chair short of a Scavenger.

Referee Mark Davis calls for the bell to get the action started as Moose locks up with Xtasy. Xtasy backs Moose into the corner where the referee asks for a clean break. Xtasy does back off and nods. He then offers to shake hands with Moose. Moose simply shakes his head and moves in and locks up with Xtasy again. Moose backs Xtasy across the ring to the opposite corner where a clean break is again called for. Moose takes a step back and then gives Xtasy a hip toss to the mat. Moose then applies an arm bar and then Xtasy gets to his feet and does a somersault and then he gives Moose a series of knife edge chops which back him into the ropes. Xtasy then whips Moose off the ropes and gives him a dropkick. He then goes for a springboard moonsault, but Moose gets his knees up and catches Xtasy in the gut with them, winding Xtasy.

Ricky Simms - X went to the well a little early against the champ here.

Henry Lesher - Hey, he knows he is in over his head here. You can't blame him for being desperate.

Moose gets to his feet and then starts giving Xtasy rights and lefts to the side of the head. Moose then whips Xtasy off the ropes and gives him a shoulder block to the mat and then delivers an elbow smash across the throat before he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Xtasy. Moose then stands Xtasy up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a knee to the gut which doubles him over and then Moose gives him a knee lift to the face which brings him down to the mat. Moose then goes to the corner buckle and climbs to the second rope. He then gives Xtasy a double axe handle smash across the back which sends him back to the mat where Moose again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Xtasy. Moose then stands Xtasy up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Xtasy doesn't want to fight the champ out here.

Henry Lesher - I am sure he wishes he had drawn someone else altogether in the first round.

Moose rolls himself out after Xtasy. He then stands Xtasy up and takes a jawbreaker from Xtasy who then gives Moose an upper cut and then rams his head into the ring apron before rolling him into the ring and then does the same himself while saying a few things to his cut out manager. Xtasy stands Moose up inside the ring, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Xtasy then lands a leg drop across the chest on Moose and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Xtasy then stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline when Moose ducks it. Moose then knees Xtasy in the gut and then gives him a gutwrench backbreaker. Moose then stands Xtasy up, whips him off the ropes and gives him an elbow to the forehead, picks him up and drops him with the Moosedriver and then Moose hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Moose wins and avoids a first round upset against Xtasy.

Ricky Simms - Good showing by Moose against a game Xtasy.

Henry Lesher - I don't like Moose's chances if it took him this long to put a side show freak like Xtasy away.

Moose rolls himself out to the floor and grabs his title belt from the timekeeper and starts to make his way up the ramp while the fans chant his name.

We agains hear "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor as we see JC Michaels and Gary Barber sitting in their dressing room with grins on their faces. This image slowly fades and we see the number 2002 fade up and fade away before we look to the first ever King of Philadelphia final match.

Paul Stevenson - I'm personally disgusted, but that doesn't change the facts. The winner of this match, King of Philadelphia and new BLPW World Title champion, "Hot Stuff" Shawn Sanders. But something tells me that he's going to get his, and he may not like the repercussions of his actions!!!

We fade back to a shot of Bruce Miller, wearing a suit, a grin on his face.

Bruce Miller - I was in the first King of Philadelphia tournament. I remember that damned bear. I would like to thank Myst for getting the rights to air that footage from a painful night in my life. It will be remembered this Christmas. Burn in hell.

Malk vs. Ghost

"Voices" by Rev Theory plays as Malk makes his way onto the stage area, the crowd giving him a warm response as he stands on stage, his arms raised. He then marches down the ramp towards the ring, his eyes narrowed at the ring itself and he then slides under the bottom rope into the ring. He jumps to his feet and turns his gaze towards the ramp as his music fades and then we hear "A Torrid Love Affair" by Boy's Night Out as Ghost makes his way onto the stage. He also gets a good reception as he makes his way down the ramp, speeding up as he does so before he slides under the bottom rope and then starts brawling with Malk while referee Rob Rai calls for the bell to get the action officially underway.

Ricky Simms - Our third first round match is a great chance for two up and coming stars.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, we have a complete idiot and a masked moron. This should be a barnburner.

Ghost and Malk trade punches and kicks and Malk thumbs Ghost in the eye and then whips him off the ropes before he gives Ghost a backdrop to the mat. Malk then stands Ghost up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a shoulder block in the corner before he whips him to the opposite buckle and then he gives him another shoulder block there. Malk then rakes the eyes of Ghost along the top rope and then gives him a punch to the throat while the referee warns Malk about his tactics. Malk whips Ghost off the ropes and then gives him a clothesline down to the mat. Malk then kneels over Ghost and gives him a series of punches to the head.

Ricky Simms - Malk is showing an aggressive side tonight.

Henry Lesher - Well, he has to or he'll get killed out there tonight. Malk need to move forward or he'll find himself a forgotten man again.

Malk stands Ghost up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as Ghost ducks it and then he gives Malk a knee to the gut and then gives him a DDT to the mat and goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Malk. Ghost stands Malk up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a hip toss to the mat. Ghost then picks Malk up and gives him a backbreaker to the mat and again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Malk. Ghost stands Malk up, whips him off the ropes and Malk and Ghost clothesline each other to the mat. The referee starts counting both men down as we see Bombshell making her way down the ramp.

Ricky Simms - What is she doing out here?

Henry Lesher - Well, Ghost has targeted her previously, so maybe she wants to even the score?

On the four count, Ghost manages to get to his feet. He spots Bombshell on the floor and then makes his way to that side of the ring and leans through the ropes and motions for her to leave. Bombshell has a few words with Ghost and the crowd boos her indirect interference. Malk gets to his feet behind Ghost while the arguing continues. Malk then rolls Ghost up with a German suplex turned to a back bridge for the pin. 1...2...3! Malk gets through round one in part thanks to Bombshell.

Ricky Simms - Malk moves on and Ghost won't be happy.

Henry Lesher - Don't care, glad we can move on to more important people here.

Malk leaves the ring and starts to make his way up the ramp. Ghost rolls himself out of the ring and then grabs a chair and attacks Malk with it, clubbing him across the back and then slams it over his head before leaving him in a heap. Ghost makes his way up the ramp, seeking out Bombshell who is nowhere to be found by now.

Ricky Simms - Ghost isn't taking the loss well.

Henry Lesher - Well, he sucks, but this was his chance for a million dollars. It must be hard to lose that.

We hear "Burning Heart" by Survivor as we see Scavenger hobbling around his locker room.

Scavenger - I know BLPW. I know the King of Philadelphia's reputation. I was almost in the 2003 tournament, but something came up and I wasn't able to attend. I hear it was a damned good follow up to the 2002 one. My knee really hurts.

We then see a fade to the number 2003 as Scavenger fades and then we look back to footage from the 2003 final.

Shane Gallard - The winner of this match, and new BLPW World Title champion, The King of Philadelphia , Heath Newton!!!

Richard Evans - New Champion! New Champion!

Paul Stevenson - Neither men are moving in the middle of the ring, what a performance!

Richard Evans - I don't think we'll ever see another event like this one, until next year that is.

Paul Stevenson - All of the men in the tournament should be proud of themselves, they've pushed themselves to incredible limits and put on one hell of a show.

Richard Evans - You know, you're right.

We then see a fade to an image of Heath Newton with the letters RIP along the bottom as there is no music played for this fade out. We hold on the Heath image for a few moments and then we head back to the ring.

Double J vs. Greyson Blaze

"End of the Line" by Devildriver plays as Joe Jones makes his way onto the stage where the crowd gives him a warm response. He stands on stage and smirks, nodding his head to the music.

Ricky Simms - The defending champ is here as we saw earlier tonight.

Henry Lesher - How about that fantastic job Gary Barber did as a ref when Newton won?

Ricky Simms - You're either kissing their ass or kicking it. There is no in between with you.

Jones makes his way down the ramp and stops at ringside to sign an autograph for one fan and then he makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then he steps through the ropes into the ring. Jones stands in the middle of the ring, his music fading and then we hear "My Own Enemy" by Thousand Foot Krutch and Greyson Blaze makes his way onto the stage, also getting a warm reception from the CWA faithful. He runs down the ramp to the ring, slips in under the bottom rope and then goes to the corner buckle and climbs to the second rope, posing for the fans. He jumps down and referee Mary Sanderson calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Another solid opening round match here.

Henry Lesher - Joe Jones is a real man, a defending champ. It's all his here.

Jones locks up in a test of strength with Blaze. The two stand even for a few moments and then we see signs that Blaze is actually getting the better of Jones. Jones answers by tripping the feet out from under Blaze and then releases the lock and lands a series of forearm smashes to the side of the head on the downed Blaze. Jones then stands Blaze up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Jones then lands a knee drop to the forehead on Blaze and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Greyson Blaze. Jones then stands Blaze up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a knee to the gut before he then gives Blaze a double under hook suplex to the mat. Jones then goes to the corner buckle and makes his way to the top. He goes for a flying elbow smash, but Blaze rolls out of the way and Jones hits the mat instead. Blaze then quickly gets to his feet and starts putting the boots to Jones. He then stands Jones up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick that brings him down to the mat. Blaze then lands a springboard elbow smash to the throat on Jones and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jones.

Ricky Simms - Blaze was really close to getting the upset there.

Henry Lesher - No way he beats Jones. It just won't happen.

Blaze stands Jones up. whips him off the ropes and gives him a hip toss to the mat and then applies a sleeper hold on him. Jones reaches for the ropes while the referee asks if he submits. Jones refuses to give up when asked while he reaches for the ropes. The crowd actually starts a chant for Jones as he pulls himself closer to the ropes, Blaze unable to keep him in the center of the ring. Jones finally lunges and manages to grab the top rope and the referee asks Blaze to break the hold. Blaze releases Jones and then gives him a headbutt and then another, backing him into a corner buckle where Blaze lands a series of knife edge chops on Joe Jones. Blaze then tries to whip Jones to the opposite buckle, but Jones reverses it and whips Blaze into the corner and then picks him up and gives him a sidewalk slam to the mat where he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Blaze.

Ricky Simms - Nice turnaround here by Joe Jones.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, Blaze is just in over his head.

Joe Jones stands Greyson Blaze up, whips him into the corner buckle and then he climbs the ropes in the corner and rains down punches to the head on Blaze while the fans count them off. Jones then jumps down and rakes the eyes of Blaze before setting him on the top rope. Jones climbs the ropes and then sets for and delivers a superplex on Blaze and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Blaze. Jones slaps the mat and informs the referee what he thinks of the speed of her count. Jones then stands Blaze up, whips him off the ropes and Blaze ducks a clothesline and then gives Jones a swinging neckbreaker to the mat before Blaze goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jones. Blaze stands Jones up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a backdrop to the center of the ring. Blaze then picks Jones up and gives him a body slam to the mat. Blaze again stands Jones up only to take a knee to the gut from Jones who pulls the feet out from under Blaze and then he applies a figure four leglock.

Ricky Simms - Jones has applied his finisher and Blaze is in trouble.

Henry Lesher - Blaze was in trouble before the match started.

Blaze reaches for the ropes while Jones tries to keep him towards the center of the ring. Blaze reaches with gritted teeth while the referee asks him. Finally, Blaze taps out and the referee calls for the bell. Jones releases the hold and quickly gets to his feet with his arms raised. The crowd cheers as he is announced the winner and Greyson gets to his feet slowly. Jones then shakes hands with Blaze before he rolls himself out of the ring and starts to make his way towards the back. Blaze indicates to Jones that next time the result will be different.

We hear "Burning Heart" by Survivor as we look backstage where Myst is in her office.

Myst - In this event, we are looking towards crowning a new King of Philadelphia while we also pause and look back on the past events with that name. 2004 was another fine edition of this event while the CWA was going through tremendous issues. The two men in this match head the list of free agents I would absolutely love to have on our roster, taking place of the trash I have rid myself of like Eli Ryder. Enjoy the 2004 final match between two real stars in this industry.

We fade to the number 2004 and then we look back to the final as mentioned by Myst.

We fade back to Myst in her office.

Myst - Kaz, Borac, if you're watching, the offer is still on the table.

Scavenger vs. Gary Barber

"Hollow Man" by The Hollow Men plays as Gary Barber makes his way onto the stage, walking on crutches with a wide smile on his face. The crowd boos loudly as he makes his way down the ramp, clad in an Eli Ryder T-shirt which has had Eli's face crossed out with spray paint. Gary tosses the crutches down at ringside and then does a few jumping jacks and then tells the camera he doubts Scavenger will be up to that tonight. Barber then makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He does more jumping jacks and chuckles as his music fades. We then hear "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" by Type O Negative as Scavenger comes hobbling out with Tough Eagle and his wife Lauren to a huge ovation.

Ricky Simms - This makes me sick.

Henry Lesher - Hey, he accepted the terms. Myst offered to fire him and he foolishly showed up instead.

Scavenger is brought down to the ring and he winces with every step on his sore knee. He stops at ringside and has a few words with Eagle, who looks very worried. Eagle then looks into the ring at Barber and has a few words with him. Scavenger slowly pulls himself onto the ring apron where he is greeted with a series of punches to the head from Barber who then pulls Scavenger into the ring and referee Steve Blake calls for the bell to get the match started. Gary Barber pulls the feet out from under Scavenger and places him in an ankle lock, putting pressure on the injured knee. The referee asks for a submission, but Scavenger refuses to give up.

Ricky Simms - Barber is a great wrestler and he smells blood here, going straight after the bad knee of Scavenger.

Henry Lesher - He's a shark in there, Rick.

Scavenger manages to grab the bottom rope which forces the break of the hold and Scavenger then crawls his way out to the floor. Gary Barber drops and rolls himself out to the floor. He winks at Lauren as he starts putting the boots to her husband, focusing on his injured knee. Barber grabs his leg, lifts it and slams the knee to the floor which causes Scavenger to scream in pain. Barber then asks Eagle if he wants to put himself in the ring and save Scavenger here. Eagle can be seen cursing and swearing to himself while he paces on the floor.

Ricky Simms - It kills Eagle to watch Scavenger get hurt like this and see what it's doing to Lauren.

Henry Lesher - Then why the hell is she here? She knew it would be a slaughter.

Barber stands Scavenger up and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself in. Barber then goes for the pin on Scavenger. 1...2... Scavenger rolls a shoulder out. Barber stands Scavenger up, whips him into the corner and Scavenger's knee buckles as he reaches the corner. Scavenger is tangled in the ropes and then Barber places a boot on the back of the neck of Scavenger, choking him with the rope while he taunts both Lauren and Tough Eagle at ringside. The crowd starts a chant for Scavenger, but Barber encourages it and says he wants it louder while he continues to choke Scavenger.

Ricky Simms - This is a mauling, not a match.

Henry Lesher - What on Earth did you people expect?

Barber releases the choke and stands Scavenger up. Scavenger thumbs Barber in the eye and then places his throat over the top rope and chokes him with it, drawing a huge cheer from the crowd. Scavenger then hobbles around and whips Barber into the corner buckle and then gives him a backdrop to the middle of the ring. Scavenger then assumes the three point stance in the corner which causes the fans to get louder. Barber gets to his feet and takes a huge spear to the mat from Scavenger, but the knee buckles as Scav hits it and he goes to the mat in pain, unable to go for the pin on Gary Barber while Eagle screams at him and slaps the ring apron.

Ricky Simms - Scavenger hit his old finisher there with a spear on Barber, but he's down.

Henry Lesher - A one legged man cannot defeat a man like Gary Barber.

Scavenger uses the ropes to get to his feet. Barber gets to his feet and takes a vicious right hook from Scavenger who then lands a second spear on Barber. Again, the knee gives out and Scavenger is unable to go for the pin. Scavenger slowly rolls over onto Barber and finally goes for the pin after ten seconds of trying to collect himself. 1...2... Barber kicks out. Barber then gets to his feet while Scavenger uses the ropes to do the same. Barber kicks the knee cap of Scavenger straight on and then pulls him to the middle of the ring, takes him down and places Scavenger in a sharpshooter. Scavenger screams in pain, but refuses to submit when asked by the referee. Barber leans further back and Scavenger continues to reach in vain for the ropes. He still refuses to submit while Eagle is seen reaching under the ring and pulling out Scavenger's chair. Eagle slips into the ring and clocks Barber with a chair shot to the back of the head with the chair, causing the referee to call for the bell while Lauren slides into the ring to check on her husband.

Ricky Simms - Eagle had seen enough. Scavenger was not getting out of that hold, but he refused to give up. Eagle acted before that knee was permanently damaged.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, Scav was too stupid to admit he was outclassed here and Eagle showed he is the smarter man by giving up.

Barber rolls himself out to the floor while grabbing at the point where the chair struck him, but he is still managing to smile. Barber looks into the ring and tells Eagle that they will meet soon and he grins as they attend to the injured Scavenger.

We see Wyatt Gibson backstage with his sister Jordan.

Wyatt Gibson - 2005, I remember that year. The GWO was the big deal then.

Jordan Gibson - Well, you eventually ran it into the ground.

Wyatt Gibson - Anyway, BLPW was our chief rival and sometimes it got ugly.

Jordan Gibson - And both companies failed.

Wyatt Gibson - The 2005 finals for King of Philadelphia, I admit I watched that. It was so violent and it was a fine match. I'll admit that and if we could have JL Willis here... that would be a dream come true.

Jordan Gibson - You know that all the fawning you people do over BLPW guys proves they were the superior product.

[JL Willis is laying in the mat holding his back in pain as Hammer still hasn't moved. Both Hammer and Scavenger are making their way to the ring to check on Hammer. Bright motions to the back for some EMT's to come to the ring.]

[Hammer looks to be moving a little bit now as the EMTs bring the stretcher down to the ring.

Finally Bright and Scavenger help him to his feet as JL turns and looks back at him. JL shakes his head in disbelief as the fans are cheering for both men.]

[Bright and Scavenger are helping Hammer out of the ring as the EMTs are trying to check out both men as they head to the back.]

JC Michaels vs. Vertigo

"Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva plays as Vertigo makes his way onto the stage, the crowd greeting him with a warm reception. He makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and then pulls himself onto the apron before he steps through the ropes into the ring. Vertigo then tests the ropes while his music fades and then we hear "Suicide Messiah" by Black Label Society and JC Michaels comes out to a huge chorus of boos from the crowd. He starts to make his way down the apron towards the ring and shakes his head as he reaches ringside and looks into the ring at Vertigo. He then makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Referee Rob Rai calls for the bell to get the action officially started as JC and Vertigo stand nose to nose and argue. Vertigo slaps JC across the face and the brawl is on as JC spears Vertigo to the mat. The two then exchange punhes and kicks at one another on the mat.

Ricky Simms - These two have no love lost for one another.

Henry Lesher - Vertigo is about to get schooled by the TV champ.

JC and Vertigo get to their feet and exchange knife edge chops to the chest. JC then eye rakes Vertigo and whips him into the corner, then charges to the corner where Vertigo greets him with a boot to the face followed by a clothesline to the mat. Vertigo then picks JC up and runs him shoulder first into the corner buckle and then slams him to the mat where he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Michaels. Vertigo stands JC up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. JC gets to his feet on the floor and Vertigo does a baseball slide which kicks JC in the chest and sends him falling into the steel guard railing. Vertigo then slams the head of JC into the railing and then picks him up with the intention of running him into the corner post, but JC slides off Vertigo's shoulder and rams Vertigo head first into the post instead. JC then slams Vertigo's head into the ring apron and then rolls him into the ring before rolling himself in.

Ricky Simms - JC has turned the tables in this one.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, Vertigo never should have taken this battle outside of the ring.

JC Michaels stands Vertigo up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him to the mat. JC then lands a knee drop to the forehead on Vertigo and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... reversal into a small package by Vertigo. 1...2... kick out by JC who quickly gets to his feet and starts putting the boots to Vertigo. JC then stands Vertigo up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a backdrop to the mat and then he lands a leg drop across the throat on Vertigo before he again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out again by Vertigo. JC stands Vertigo up and whips him into the corner buckle. He then goes to the corner, kicks Vertigo in the ribs and then takes a kick to the ribs from Vertigo who gives JC another kick and a punch to the face and then he turns JC around and gives him a vertical suplex to the mat. Vertigo then stands JC up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a knee to the gut before giving him a swinging neckbreaker to the mat where he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by JC who rolls himself out to the floor to regroup.

Ricky Simms - Back and forth action in what is the final match of our first round tonight.

Henry Lesher - Like it matters since JC has this in the bag.

Vertigo drops and rolls himself out to the floor after JC. He takes a kick to the gut from JC who then drops Vertigo with a clothesline to the floor. JC then stands Vertigo up, but takes an eye gouge from JC who then slams JC's face into the steel ring steps. Vertigo then rolls JC into the ring before he rolls himself in. Vertigo goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by JC who then rolls Vertigo into a school boy with his feet on the ropes for added leverage out of sight of the referee who counts the pin. 1...2...3! JC Michaels finishes the round with a win over Vertigo tonight.

Ricky Simms - Great match with a questionable ending.

Henry Lesher - Hey, JC saw a shortcut and took it. That's why he has gold and Vertigo dreams of it.

JC leaves the ring and starts for the back while Vertigo argues the result with the referee.

Myst is seen in her office when there is a knock at the door.

Myst - What?

Jordan peeks her head in.

Jordan Gibson - You wanted to see me?

Myst - Sit down.

Jordan slinks into the office and sits down quietly. She looks nervous.

Myst - Where is Vesuvius?

Jordan Gibson - I have no idea.

Myst - You're lying. In fact, everyone is lying to me.

Jordan Gibson - You're paranoid.

Myst - I have sent the Anarchy Angels home. Until we know what your role with Vesuvius is, I am keeping them out of the ring. As much as I dislike Kathy and her gaggle of whores, I like Vesuvius less.

Jordan Gibson - That was a storyline.

Myst - No, Vesuvius is an asshole. That's no storyline sweetie.

Jordan Gibson - Can I go then?

Myst - Sure, but keep this in mind. Everyone who has trusted Vesuvius and befriended him has been a complete failure and most of them don't work here anymore. Keep that in mind as you skulk about.

Jordan Gibson - Whatever...

Jordan exits the office while Myst sighs and starts filing her nails.

Bombshell vs. 6Pac Dudley

"Southtown" by POD plays as 6Pac Dudley makes his way onto the apron, the crowd booing him loudly. He holds the Aerial title belt high over his head as he makes his way down the ramp towards the ring. He stops at ringside and hands the belt to the timekeeper, saying he will be back for it in a moment. He looks at the stretcher at ringside and grins and then he rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring and quickly gets to his feet as his music fades. "Piece of Me" by Britney Spears plays and the crowd cheers as Bombshell makes her way onto the apron and then she runs down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope into the ring which allows referee Casey Braun to call for the bell and get the action started. 6Pac kicks Bombshell in the head, then pulls her to her feet by the hair. Bombshell spits in 6Pac's face, then knees him below the belt and then gives him a clothesline to the mat.

Ricky Simms - There are no rules to this. The winner is the one to put the other on a stretcher and then drag the stretcher to the stage.

Henry Lesher - Why waste such a good match on these two idiots?

Bombshell rolls 6Pac out of the ring to the floor. She then rolls herself out and then slams 6Pac's face into the stretcher. 6Pac answers with an upper cut on Bombshell and then he picks her up in a bear hug which is meant to wear her down early here. 6Pac holds her aloft while Bombshell tries to pull herself away from 6Pac. She eye gouges him and then does the same a second time which breaks the hold. 6Pac then knees Bombshell in the ribs and then gives her a gutwrench suplex to the floor. 6Pac then stands her up and rolls her onto the stretcher and starts tying her down. Bombshell thumbs 6Pac in the eye, rolls herself off of the stretcher and then kicks 6Pac in the groin and then pulls his feet out from under him before she puts the boots to him.

Ricky Simms - 6Pac is going to be sore after this one.

Henry Lesher - Thankfully, he will never have kids. That's a good thing.

Bombshell stands 6Pac up and slams his face into the ring apron and then she rolls him onto the stretcher. Bombshell chokes 6Pac on the stretcher and then she starts to strap him down. 6Pac then kicks her in the side of the head and rolls himself off the stretcher and then he reaches under the apron and pulls out a chair. He hauls off to clobber Bombshell with it, but she gives him a knee to the gut, pulls the chair from his grip and she catches him in the head with it. Bombshell then takes the Aerial title belt from the timekeeper and then clocks 6Pac in the forehead with it. She then places him on the stretcher and then starts pushing it towards the ramp without strapping him down.

Ricky Simms - Bombshell is running for it.

Henry Lesher -  Most of the fans are running for the washroom instead of watching this crap.

6Pac rolls himself off the stretcher as it reaches the ramp and he then quickly gets to his feet and gives Bombshell a spine buster to the floor. 6Pac then picks up the stretcher and slams it over the stomach of Bombshell. 6Pac then boot chokes her while he starts to smile. 6Pac slaps Bombshell across the face and then stands her up. He whips her shoulder first into the guard railing and then gives her a German suplex to the floor. 6Pac stands over her and shakes his head. He tells her she should have stayed out of his business and the kicks her before he sets the stretcher up again. 6Pac picks Bombshell up and places her on the stretcher as we see Ghost coming down the ramp on a dead run, a chair in hand. He catches a surprised 6Pac on the forehead with the chair and then drills him in the gut with it before he again strikes him across the head with it.

Ricky Simms - What the hell is Ghost doing out here helping Bombshell after she cost him a million dollars?

Henry Lesher - He's retarded.

Bombshell rolls herself off the stretcher and Ghost places 6Pac on it. He then pushes 6Pac himself up the ramp, then stops half way to the top and goes back for the chair. He picks it up, heads up the ramp and then clocks 6Pac across the head three times with the chair, busting him wide open. Ghost then pulls 6Pac on the stretcher onto the stage and the referee calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Ghost gave Bombshell the Aerial title!

Henry Lesher - Technically, didn't he just win it?

Ghost is thrown a microphone as Bombshell is announced the winner. The new Aerial champ picks the belt up off the floor and looks confused towards the masked Ghost.

Ghost - Tonight, Yvonne, you screwed me again. Tonight, you cost me a shot at a million bucks. Now, that might make these fans wonder why I would almost kill poor 6Pac here and hand you the title. Well, sweetie, I will see you soon and you're bringing that belt because you have owed me for a damned long time.

Ghost then reaches down and pulls off the mask to reveal that he is indeed Gerard Angelo which draws cheers from the crowd. Gerard nods and smiles.

Gerard Angelo - Next time, we square off the that belt. You can start paying me back for what you cost me earlier tonight and I'll tell you when that debt has been paid in full.

Gerard tosses the microphone aside and heads backstage while Bombshell looks shocked at this turn of events.

Myst rounds a corner as she exits her office and comes face to face with Tough Eagle.

Myst - What do you want?

Tough Eagle - Are you happy?

Myst - Oh, piss off.

Tough Eagle - Scavenger is in bad shape.

Myst - Yeah and you did that with your bloody speech about heroes. You're no hero, Eugene. You stood by and watched him get mangled out there. You let it happen. Instead of getting him the DQ loss right away, you let him suffer first. You're an ass.

Tough Eagle - Scavenger wanted to battle. I let him battle until he just couldn't go anymore.

Myst - You could have fought the match yourself and helped him and Lauren out. You could have been his hero. You could have been her hero. Instead, you cower. Maybe at Battle of the Warriors, you'll learn your lesson.

Tough Eagle - What?

Myst - I am paying your salary, Eugene. You're going to wrestle. Now we can see what a hero you are.

Tough Eagle - You really are a bitch.

Myst - I am a rich bitch and I am going to make you my bitch.

Myst pats Eagle on the head and continues on while Eagle fumes.

Round Two
Moose vs. Shadow

"Stem" by Crossbreed plays as Shadow makes his way onto the stage for the second time tonight. He has a sign in his hand which has the names of Divine Intervention members on it. Jack Spade, Eli Ryder, and Nameless have been crossed off and he has circled Tommy Purr's name. He shows the sign to the camera and then tears it in half and tosses it into the crowd. Shadow then heads down the ramp to the ring and then pulls himself onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. He then looks towards the stage as his music fades and "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits plays as Moose makes his way onto the stage. He again gets a huge ovation from the crowd and holds his title belt high. He then makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and then hands his belt to the timekeeper before he makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then he steps through the ropes into the ring. He and Shadow argue as referee Mark Davis calls for the bell to get the match started.

Ricky Simms - This is round two and we have learned that Tommy Purr's round two match will be a triple threat and Myst has stacked the deck against him. He gets to face BOTH JC Michaels and Gary Barber.

Henry Lesher - That is simply fantastic quick thinking on behalf of Myst. I applaud her for being able to book under such trying circumstances with all of the people we had wanted to se here who didn't make the trip.

Moose and Shadow start shoving one another. Moose then gives Shadow a devastating headbutt that sends him down to the mat where Moose then lands a knee drop to the forehead on Shadow. Moose then stands Shadow up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Moose then gives Shadow a knee to the forehead and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shadow. Moose then stands Shadow up, picks him up and gives him a slam to the mat. Moose then boot chokes Shadow, using the ropes for leverage. He then steps off the throat of Shadow, stands him up and whips him into the corner buckle. Moose then charges into the corner only to get a raised knee to the face from Shadow who then gives Moose a running clothesline to the mat. Shadow then boot chokes Moose, also using the ropes for added leverage.

Ricky Simms - This match started out fast for Moose, but now Shadow has the control.

Henry Lesher - It is an even match and the EVC is dominating this tournament. That is no accident or fluke.

Shadow steps off of Moose and then stands him up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick back down to the mat. Shadow then goes to the corner and makes his way to the second rope. He leaps off and lands a double axe handle smash to the back on Moose, then gives him a DDT to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... Moose gets a foot on the bottom rope. Shadow then pulls Moose to the middle of the ring and again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose and Shadow slaps the mat and argues with the referee. Shadow stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Shadow then pulls Moose to his feet and Moose gives Shadow a knife edge chop to the chest, then whips Shadow through the ropes and out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Now we are going to the floor again.

Henry Lesher - Hey, these guys can fight all night out here.

Moose drops and slips out to the floor after Shadow. Shadow is pulled to his feet by Moose and they start trading punches on the floor. Shadow then whips Moose into the steel ring post, but Moose stops himself, then turns and gives Shadow a kick to the jaw. Moose then spears Shadow to the floor before standing him up and rolling him into the ring and then he does the same himself. The fans start a chant for Moose as he stands over Shadow. Moose stands Shadow up, whips him off the ropes and Shadow ducks a clothesline and then he gives Moose an inverted atomic drop followed by a takedown and he quickly turns it over into a Boston Crab. The referee checks for a submission while Moose reaches towards the ropes and Shadow leans back in the hold.

Ricky Simms - The momentum is shifting quickly in this one.

Henry Lesher - That's what happens when people are evenly matched like this.

Moose refuses to submit when asked and he pulls himself up from the apron and crawls on his elbows towards the ropes, his strength overwhelming that of Shadow. Moose then lunges and manages to grab the bottom rope to force the break. Shadow reluctantly lets go of Moose and then pulls him to the middle of the ring and applies a cross face chicken wing on Moose. Again, Moose refuses to submit to the hold when asked. Shadow is again in a position of trying to hold Moose in the middle of the ring, but Moose again pushes himself up and starts to power his way out of the hold. Moose gets to his feet while Shadow looks a little lost, then Moose picks Shadow up and gives him an Angle slam to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shadow.

Ricky Simms - Both of these men can beat you before you know what's going on.

Henry Lesher - Like I said, evenly matched.

Moose stands Shadow up, whips him off the ropes and Shadow ducks a clothesline and then gives Moose a clothesline to the mat. Shadow goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. Moose gets to his feet and turns while Shadow launches himself off the top. Moose catches Shadow in mid-air and spins him to the mat in a power slam and goes for the pin from it. 1...2...3! Moose wins and advances to the next round!

Ricky Simms - Just like that, Moose moves on!

Henry Lesher - Well, he battled hard there. It should be interesting to see how much that took out of him.

Moose rolls himself out to the floor and grabs his title belt, slinging it over his shoulder as he heads up the ramp towards the stage and we look backstage.

Wyatt Gibson is seen playing his PSP in the hallway, leaning back against the wall when Tommy Purr approaches him. Purr doesn't look happy.

Wyatt Gibson - What's up, Tommy?

Tommy Purr - What the hell is with the booking? I get to face Gary and JC at the same time?

Wyatt Gibson - Well, we think this works since you want them both, why not have to beat them both down?

Tommy Purr - It's clear that management made a deal with the EVC tonight. First, you secured Eli leaving the company. Now, you stack the deck against me. I can't wait to see what you have up next.

Wyatt Gibson - You're interrupting my game, Tommy. Are we done here?

Tommy Purr - If you think I will take this lying down, you're wrong.

Wyatt Gibson - You need to stop worrying about me and focus on Gary and JC.

Tommy Purr - I am starting to wonder just what I am up against in this company.

Wyatt Gibson - Your biggest enemy is yourself, Tommy. I hope you can grasp that before it's too late.

Tommy shakes his head and walks away from Wyatt, who them resumes his game.

Double J vs. Malk

"Voices" by Rev Theory plays as Malk makes his way onto the stage. The crowd cheers him on as he makes his way down the ramp towards the ring. Malk high fives fans on his way around the ring and then he pulls himself onto the apron and steps through the ropes into the ring for the second time tonight. He leans back against the ropes as his music fades and we hear "End of the Line" by Devildriver and Double J comes out, again to a huge ovation from the crowd. He tells the camera that he is closer to retaining his status as the king of Philly and then he makes his way down the ramp to ringside where Malk dives through the ropes onto him. Malk then stands Jones up and whips him over the guard railing and into the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Malk is showing a mean streak here.

Henry Lesher - Give him credit. He knows Jones is better than him, so he jumped him.

Malk climbs over the guard railing and starts brawling with Jones in the middle of the fans. Jones rams Malk's head into the steel guard railing and then gives him a snap mare over it to ringside before he steps back over the railing. Jones then picks Malk up and slams him to the floor. Jones then lands a leg drop across the chest on Malk before he stands him up and rolls him into the ring and then does the same himself which allowed referee Steve Blake to call for the bell and officially start the match. Jones places Malk's throat over the bottom rope and chokes him with it, releasing it before he would be disqualified.

Ricky Simms - I don't see this match being a technical marvel.

Henry Lesher - Malk turned this into a fight and Jones is willing to oblige.

Malk then gets to his feet and starts putting the boots to Jones who rolls himself out of the ring to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Jones looking to take this back to the floor.

Henry Lesher - If Malk is smart, he'll stay in the ring. Since he's a complete idiot, I doubt he'll do the right thing.

Malk dives through the ropes and takes Malk to the floor with a partial cross body block. Malk then stands Jones up and slams his face into the announce table and then picks Jones up and slams him onto it. Malk then goes to the ring and pulls himself onto the apron. He attempts a diving headbutt from there, but Jones rolls out of the way and Malk's forehead bounces off the announce table instead.

Joe Jones has eliminated Malk from the tournament!

Ricky Simms - Impressive move there by Jones. Malk never recovered after his head his our table.

Henry Lesher - The idiot headbutted our table. Oh well, great moves by Jones and the handsome new CWA star moves on. At least the tournament is better looking with him around.

Jones exits the ring and makes his way up the ramp towards the backstage area with his arms raised while the fans cheer him on.

Chastity is seen wrapping her wrists with tape as Cordelia Parizi enters the picture to interview the Diva champ.

Cordelia Parizi - Chastity, tonight you have to defend that title in a ladder match. Your thoughts?

Chastity - I am a woman with no shame. I am a woman who controls that ring when I am inside it. I am a woman who has her sights set on being seen as the greatest CWA diva ever.

Cordelia Parizi - But you're in a match where you could wind up naked. Doesn't that take you down a notch?

Chastity - Hey, I am about guts and I am about bringing something new to this division. God knows it has needed it.

Cordelia Parizi - You're not worried about a potential lawsuit against the CWA as a result?

Chastity - It wouldn't be against me. It would be up tight religious folk who think the female anatomy is something to be ashamed of. I am not easily frightened, unlike Precious.

Cordelia Parizi - Well, good luck with your self esteem.

Chastity - Good luck with your leeching off your father.

Cordelia sneers at Chastity and leaves while Chastity simply shakes her head and resumes taping her wrists.

Gary Barber pulls himself onto the apron and steps through the ropes into the ring while JC Michaels pulls himself onto the apron and then he climbs to the top rope in the corner and raises his hands, drawing a further chorus of boos from the crowd. JC then jumps down to the mat and their music fades. We then hear "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry as Tommy Purr makes his way onto the stage. He shakes his head as he looks into the ring at JC and Gary. JC smiles and opens the ropes for him and motions for him to enter the ring.

Ricky Simms - Tommy was set before a firing squad here by Myst.

Henry Lesher - Hey, she took sides. She went with the winners. Tommy sided with Spade and Ryder and here we are.

Tommy reaches ringside and motions to referee Rob Rai that he wants JC to back off. JC steps back from the ropes, laughing while Tommy then slowly makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron.

JC then stands Tommy up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor where Gary Barber is. Barber then lands a leg drop across the neck on the fallen Purr before standing him up and rolling him into the ring where JC puts the boots to him.

Ricky Simms - Hopes for Purr are fading fast now.

Henry Lesher - It's not like he's fighting Jack Spade and Eli Ryder either. JC and Gary are top notch wrestlers.

JC stands Tommy up, whips him into the corner buckle and then Gary Barber gives him a running knee lift before he then gives him a hip toss to the middle of the ring where he takes a kick to the head from JC Michaels.

Gary Barber then lands a knee drop to the forehead on Tommy and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr as the crowd starts a chant for him. Gary stands Tommy up and whips him right into a clothesline from JC Michaels while Jack Spade makes his way down the ramp towards the ring, a chair in hand.

Ricky Simms - It looks like Spade is still here and can't sit back and watch this happen.

Henry Lesher - He can't get involved without getting Tommy thrown out of this match, though.

At ringside, Spade slams the steel chair on the apron to both encourage Tommy and try to distract his opposition.

Ricky Simms - This match is still a tough one for Purr.

Henry Lesher - Like I said, he aligned himself with the wrong guys.

Tommy power himself out of the abdominal stretch and then ducks a clothesline from JC Michaels before giving him a German suplex to the mat.

Gary Barber gets the win as the handicap nature of the match is too much for Tommy Purr. The crowd boos and the ring is again showered with garbage.

Ricky Simms - They may be winning, but the fans want to hurt them right now.

Henry Lesher - Everyone is jealous of a winner.

Barber rolls himself out to the floor and he and JC retreat to the back while Jack Spade enters the ring and checks on the fallen Tommy, shaking his head. Spade throws the chair down and motions for medical attention while we head backstage.

Wyatt Gibson is seen pacing in Myst's office, the boss not there. She does come in and rolls her eyes when she spots him. She takes her seat and puts her feet up on her desk, her hands behind her head.

Myst - What do you want now?

Wyatt Gibson - Well, we lost a round in the tournament.

Myst - Where did you put it?

Wyatt Gibson - I am not joking.

Myst - Look, who do we have left?

Wyatt Gibson - Moose, Joe Jones and Gary Barber.

Myst - I hear a triple threat match then.

Wyatt Gibson - But the tournament is always four rounds.

Myst - Tonight it has become three. My night is nearly done, so let's just leave the drama out of this, shall we?

Wyatt Gibson - It's not drama. It's booking.

Myst - No, you're turning it into drama. If you want drama, find out what the hell your sister is doing hanging around with an asshole like Vesuvius.

Wyatt Gibson - She has denied...

Myst - Of course she has. Grab a clue, Wyatt.

He shakes his head as he turns and leaves and we head back to the ring.

Chastity vs. Precious Fairchild

"Hot N Cold" by Katy Perry plays as Precious Fairchild makes her way onto the stage, the crowd giving her a warm reception. She then makes her way down the ramp towards the ring with her head down as she can be seen taking deep breaths. She looks into the ring and sees a pink ladder is set under the diva title which is hanging above. Precious then rolls herself under the bottom rope into the ring and quickly gets to her feet and continues to try and relax herself while her music fades. We then hear "Naked Cousin" by PJ Harvey and Chastity makes her way onto the stage with Missy close behind her. Chastity makes her way down the ramp while Missy massages her shoulders and gives her a pep talk. Chastity then pulls herself onto the apron and then slowly steps through the ropes into the ring. Referee Mary Sanderson calls for the bell as Precious and Chastity stand face to face.

Ricky Simms - A highly anticipated match here which could get the CWA heavily fined.

Precious manages to knock the ladder over and Chastity falls right over the top rope and down to the floor. Precious then stands the ladder up under the belt while Chastity regains her footing on the floor. Chastity removes her top and fans whistle at the sight of her red bra. She slips into the ring and trips the feet out from under Precious before she even has a chance to start climbing the ladder.

Ricky Simms - Chastity took the first fall, but it's all about who grabs the title.

Henry Lesher - I really want this to be over fast. I am going to lose my lunch.

Chastity chokes Precious while the referee threatens to disqualify her. Chastity releases the choke, stands Precious up and takes a knee to the gut from Precious. Precious then places Chastity in a headlock and gives her a bulldog to the mat. Precious then heads for the ladder and starts to climb. Chastity is on her feet and reaches up to the ladder and grabs the feet of Precious, then drags her down off the ladder and gives her a clothesline to the mat before putting the boots to her. Precious rolls herself out of the ring and paces on the floor while the champ motions for her to get back into the ring. Precious removes her top and exposes her bra and the crowd gives its catcalls and whistles for this while we hear Lesher gag.

Chastity then heads for the ladder, still set up under the belt. Chastity starts up while Precious gets to her feet on the floor. Precious slips into the ring and grabs Chastity by the legs the same as Chastity grabbed her and then drags her down to the mat. Precious then gives Chastity an airplane spin and sends her flying across the ring. Chastity winces and grabs at her back while she then gets to her feet. She looks up at the belt, narrows her eyes and removes her shorts as the match stipulation demands.

Henry Lesher - Okay, that is quite enough.

Ricky Simms - My God, you're really going to throw up. This is great!

Precious charges at Chastity. Chastity ducks a wild right and gives Precious a drop toe hold into the corner buckle. Chastity then picks Precious up and slams her, dropping her face on the top turnbuckle and sending her to the mat in pain. Chastity then stands Precious up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor.

Precious leaps over the guard railing and slides into the ring as the bra and panty clad Chastity grabs for the belt. Precious then knocks the ladder over and Chastity falls out to the floor, but she has the belt in her hands and the referee calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Precious was so close, but Chastity retains here tonight.

Henry Lesher - I am very glad she had the belt there. As it is, I believe I lost most of the vision in my right eye.

Ricky Simms - How?

Henry Lesher - I jabbed a pen in it during this match. So much woman flesh and... I can't talk about it.

Chastity heads up the ramp, indicating to Precious inside the ring that she was close, but the title is still hers. Chastity kisses the belt and raises it high while she continues up the ramp to the stage. "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers then plays and Jordan Gibson makes her way onto the stage shaking her head.

Jordan Gibson - I cannot believe this. The flash in the pan still holds the title in my division. Girls, 2008 is over. 2009 is coming. I want you, Chastity, and you Precious to know you are on notice. I intend to mold this division into something spectacular and above some childish antics as this stripping ladder match. Enjoy your title, Chastity, because the new year will see you losing it. We will soon see what kind of warrior you really are.

Jordan then heads backstage while Chastity glares at her.

Tommy Purr is seen sitting at his stall in the locker room when Jack Spade enters.

Jack Spade - Rough night.

Tommy Purr - I cannot believe this. We got railroaded tonight.

Jack Spade - *nods* Looks like Myst isn't impressed with our group.

Tommy Purr - I am sick of the EVC and their crap.

Jack Spade - And your plan is?

Tommy Purr - Jack, we have both been at the top before. We will get there again. One by one, I am going to take the members of EVC out. They're big men when they're running Eli out or double teaming me. Let's see who steps up one on one to face me.

Jack Spade - They don't play by the rules, Tommy.

Tommy Purr - Neither do I. If they think I am going to take this loss lying down, they're wrong.

Tommy storms out and leaves Jack scratching his head.

Joe Jones vs. Moose vs. Gary Barber

"End of the Line" by Devildriver plays as Joe Jones makes his way onto the stage. He receives a loud ovation from the crowd and he is grinning from ear to ear, telling the camera that he can smell the money now. He stops at ringside and looks around at the crowd before he jumps onto the ring apron and then leaps over the top rope into the ring. He leans back against the ropes as his music fades and then we hear "Hollow Man" by The Hollow Men and Gary Barber comes out, JC Michaels at his side. The two start down the ramp towards the ring. Barber then makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron while JC takes his place at ringside. Barber steps through the ropes slowly and comes face to face with Jones. They start arguing while Barber's music fades and we hear "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits and Moose comes out with the CWA title again slung over his shoulder.

Ricky Simms - This is the big main event. The winner of this match gets a million bucks and a title shot. If Moose wins, then Jones and Barber would square off to decide the number one contender.

Henry Lesher - I win either way. This should more than make up for the crap I just watched out here.

Moose reaches ringside and pulls himself onto the apron, then tosses the belt to the timekeeper while both Jones and Barber watch him. Moose then steps into the ring and referee Steve Blake calls for the bell to get the match started while the three have a few words with one another. The crowd then cheers as Moose grabs both Barber and Jones and slams their heads together before he gives Barber a clothesline to the mat and then he does the same to Jones.

Moose takes a knee to the gut from Jones. Barber then grabs Jones and whips him into the guard railing before he whips Moose shoulder first into the steel ring post and he then chop blocks Moose down to the floor before Barber stands Moose up and rolls him in. Barber then rolls himself in, pulls Moose to the middle of the ring and applies an ankle lock on the CWA champ.

Ricky Simms - That's the move which ended his first round match with Scavenger tonight.

Henry Lesher - Barber is trying to beat Moose in record time, but he has to watch out for Joe Jones here.

Joe Jones steps over the guard railing to ringside and sees Barber with a lock on Moose and then he slides into the ring behind Barber. Jones then knees Barber in the back and then places him in a full Nelson. The referee moves from asking Moose whether or not he gives up to asking the same question of Gary Barber. Barber shakes his head when asked and Jones tries to strengthen his hold while Moose hobbles to the ropes and slowly gets to his feet. Barber shows signs of powering out of the hold and Moose sees a perfect opportunity. He goes for a superkick on Barber, but Barber drops out of the hold and it's Joe Jones who is caught flush on the side of the face with the kick instead. Barber then sweeps the feet out from under Moose and tries to pin Jones. 1...2... Jones kicks out.

Ricky Simms - Moose inadvertently helped Barber there, almost to a million bucks.

Henry Lesher - That's nice of him, recognizing greatness inside the ring with him.

Barber standfs Jones up and whips him into the corner buckle, but Moose then trips the feet out from under Barber and gives him a series of punches to the head. Jones then lands a running kick to the face on Moose before he tries for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Jones then stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a backdrop to the mat. Gary Barber gets to his feet and catches Jones with a thumb to the eye and then he whips Jones into the corner buckle where he then lands a running knee lift to the chest on Jones. Gary Barber then pulls Jones from the corner and gives him a slingshot suplex to the mat before he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jones. Moose is on his feet as Barber gets up and Moose catches him with a kick to the gut, then whips him off the ropes and gives him a shoulder block to the mat before he puts the boots to him. Joe Jones gets to his feet and then gives Moose a running clothesline which sends the CWA champ over the top rope and out to the floor. Jones then turns his attention back to Gary Barber and the two of them start trading punches again.

Ricky Simms - Great action in this one.

Henry Lesher - For once, I am happy with all possible outcomes here.

Jones backs Gary Barber to the ropes with a vicious knife edge chop, then whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick to the mat while Moose slips back into the ring. Jones greets Moose with a knife edge chop to the chest, then whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick to the mat the same as he did to Barber. Jones then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. He lands a flying cross body on Gary Barber and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Gary Barber. Jones then stands Barber up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as Barber ducks it and then he gives Jones a reverse neckbreaker to the mat before he goes for the pin. 1...2...

Moose then places Barber in a headlock and goes for a DDT, but Barber blocks it and then he gives Moose a series of punches to the ribs, then whips him into the corner buckle. Gary Barber then knees Moose in the gut and gives him a double under hook suplex to the middle of the ring.

Ricky Simms - It is so even here. Anyone could win it.

Henry Lesher - I like Barber's chances. Momentum has to be his.

Gary Barber gives Moose a knee drop to the forehead and we then see Tommy Purr making his way down the ramp with a kendo stick in hand. JC Michaels sees him coming and goes to head him off, but Tommy crowns him with the stick and heads to ringside. Inside the ring, Gary Barber has some unkind words for Tommy and is distracted which leads to Joe Jones rolling him up for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Gary Barber.

Ricky Simms - What is Tommy doing out here?

Henry Lesher - Making this the most attractive match in the history of wrestling.

Moose gets to his feet and he has words with Tommy as well, telling him to mind his own business. Joe Jones then tries for the roll up on Moose. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Jones then springs to his feet and he tells Tommy that his distraction isn't helping and tells him to leave. Shadow runs down the ramp to intercept Tommy. Tommy turns and greets Shadow with a shot between the eyes with the kendo stick. Moose gets to his feet and he has words with Tommy while the referee tries to hold them apart. Rebella then appears through the crowd and she tosses brass knuckles into the ring to Gary Barber who then decks Joe Jones with them while Moose dives through the ropes and tackles Tommy. Barber goes for the pin on Jones. 1...2...3! Gary Barber is the 2008 King of Philadelphia! The crowd erupts with boos as Moose slips into the ring a moment too late.

Ricky Simms - Tommy came out to stop the EVC and wound up helping them. Rebella throws in the brass knuckles and it's all over.

Henry Lesher - The right man won. Now Barber gets another title shot.

Tommy Purr realizes what happened and he tosses aside the kendo stick and he rolls himself into the ring. He stands face to face with Moose and explains what he was trying to do. Moose nods, rolls his eyes and then gives Tommy a vicious upper cut and then picks him up and delivers the Moosedriver on Purr. Moose rolls himself out of the ring and grabs his title belt, then comes face to face with Barber who drills Moose with the brass knuckles. Barber then pulls the belt from his hands and he holds it high while JC Michaels now joins him and the crowd is again showering them with garbage.

Ricky Simms - This whole thing has exploded. How do the CWA stars stop the EVC if they can't get along with each other? This is insanity!

Henry Lesher - Jealousy and ego are ugly things. I blame this all on Moose.

Ricky Simms - Yeah, you would. Well, fans, happy holidays and see you for our year end show in two weeks. Till then, that's it from Philadelphia. Like it or not, Gary Barber is your winner.

A loud "Bullshit" chant is heard from the crowd as Gary Barber, JC Michaels and Shadow pose at ringside with the CWA title belt. We then fade to black.
