March 19th, 2006 - Baltimore, MD

It's a full house in Baltimore for the latest edition of Insurgence. Many in the crowd are holding up signs proclaiming their belief in local hero and tonight's guest referee, The Moose. Instead of the standard AW opening, we instead hear "Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails and Shannon Skanes makes his way into his own personal spot next to the ramp way. He smiles for the crowd and they start a "GWO GWO" chant. He bows.

Shannon Skanes - Welcome to the first edition in many years of Shannon's Corner! See, sometimes we need to go old school to appreciate wrestling again. Now, tonight I am going to show you people what a real interview segment is supposed to look like. Tonight I am going to show you an interview with one of the most controversial stars in the history of this business. Allow me to introduce... Sal Clemenzo!

"Halls of Fear" by Nino Rota starts to play and Sal Clemenzo comes out, his arm locked with Serena Marcelli. Sal is dressed in his finest suit and Serena is dressed in an evening gown that would not look out of place at the Oscars. Sal steps away from her for the interview and locks eyes with Shannon for a moment, the crowd cheering as they anticipate a fight here.

Shannon Skanes - *taking a step back from Sal* I won't waste your time. You're a busy man and I have a match to win tonight. I'm sure the fans here are dying to know, who do you see as your number one target in this company at this time and why?

Sal Clemenzo - My number one target? Every single son of a bitch in this federation who rushed to forget me. Every who does pompinaio give me the respect that I've earned. But first I'll make an example of that worthless piece of shit, Halloween Jack. I’ll tell you Skanes if that fucker thinks he can send me to the hospital without getting a receipt, then he’s got another thing coming. I'm going to bury that, cazzo and his shit career.

Ricky Simms - I think we just got pulled from a few networks.

Henry Lesher - Ask Sal if he cares.

Shannon Skanes - Such strong language from Clemenzo tonight. *smiles* Now, tell us, why should myself or the fans give a damn about you again, Sal?

Sal Clemenzo - You ask another question like that, and I'll show you why. Look at me Skanes, I’m wearing a five thousand dollar Armani, tailor made, a Rolex that set me back fifty gees, I've got the finest woman in the world on my arm, and you know how I got that? No don’t ask, I’ll tell you. By being the best wrestler in the world today. Titles? Held more than most will ever get the chance to go for. Victories? Too numerous to count. Skill? Off the fuckin’ chart, my man. I’m the most vicious bastard this or any other federation has ever seen. So the fact that you even had the stones to ask a question like that, tells me you might be the dumbest douche bag known to man.

Shannon Skanes - My oh my, Sal is the touchy one tonight. Okay, let's change things up a bit and talk about something relaxed and casual. My financial advisor, Tony Parizi, is wondering if you need any help with your taxes this year.

Sal Clemenzo - So old man Parizi is handling the Skanes fortune huh? I take back my previous statement, you are the dumbest douche bag known to man. But it’s funny I didn't know the old bastard could count add up the two dollars Canadian that makes up the vast Skanes fortune. Well I hope you're ready for retirement on the bread line, cause after he bilks you for the little bit your worth, that’s where you and whatever trollop you are dicking at the time will be. But you can do me a favor, you tell that cunt that I've got my eye on him, and I'm waiting for him to make his move.. Oh don't give me that look Skanes, I'm sure he whispers softly in your ear his grandiose plans for revenge against me, while he's got you bent over giving you all 3 inches of his viagra backed member, but I’ve known him too long to think for a second that he’s forgotten what where I put him.

Shannon Skanes - Yeah, Tony's not a man to forget the one who got him sent to prison. You're probably off of his Christmas list. Let's talk Christmas wishes in relation to Blind Rage, April 2nd. Tell me your dream match and dream opponent for the occasion.

Sal Clemenzo - Me. Halloween Jack. Buried Alive. That way we can do his execution and funeral all in one night. *Sal turns to face the camera.* Bring the kids folks it'll be show like no other. Blood, tears, a grown man crying, it’ll be fucking glorious.

Ricky Simms - We need a five second delay on this.

Henry Lesher - No we don't. This is gold.

Shannon Skanes - It's only a matter of time until you cross paths with Ryan again. Why should Rated R fear your return?

Sal Clemenzo - Well let's get one thing straight. If there's anybody in this fed that I respect it'd be that evil fucker. But to answer your question Rated R holds the number one title in the world today, and it belongs on my waist. He knows it, the people know, and Vesuvius will learn it. In fact I plan on presenting it to my lovely girl Serena as a wedding present.

Shannon Skanes - Wedding present?

Sal Clemenzo - Yep you heard it here first, I popped the question, she accepted. We’ve set the date for the week after I win the world title, again.

Shannon Skanes - That moves nicely to my other guest then. Serena, soon to be Clemenzo as well, you said Kosmic Kitty is always around when bad things happen and in that same show, something bad happened. Any coincidence there in your mind?

Serena Marcelli - Well Shannon, I don’t think it's coincidence. I believe it's incompetence. Kitty's incompetence in the ring. AW management's incompetence at not handling her right, namely firing her. So no coincidence it is not.

Shannon Skanes - Does this mean you're open for a return to the ring or are you happy at Sal's side?

Serena Marcelli - Either place is fine by me, but yeah I'd have no problem stepping in the ring again.

Sal Clemenzo - And don't underestimate her for a second Skanes, we've spent the past year training her, and if this fed ever gets a Women's Title you're looking at the first champion.

Shannon Skanes - Since posing for Playboy is in style these days, can we expect to see you in a spread soon?

Serena Marcelli - Well it wouldn't be the first time I've posed nude for pictures. But then again only Sal has seen those ones. But I'm not as young as most of the women who pose, so I don't see them asking me. But if they did... sure why not. If Sal approves of course.

Sal Clemenzo - *smiles* Hey, I'd have no problem with that at all.

Shannon Skanes - Just remember one thing, Sal. Officially, you and I are square and we have the same foes. If that changes, I have no problem facing you one on one again.

Sal Clemenzo - I haven't backed down from a fight yet. Bring your financial advisor.

Shannon Skanes - *nods* I might just do that.

"Halls of Fear" by Nino Rota plays again as Sal and Serena leave arm in arm, the same as they did when they came in.

Ricky Simms - Sal's back and set for action. It looks like Halloween Jack will want to be careful.

Henry Lesher - He's well covered. Sal might have bitten off more than he can chew here.

We then look backstage and see Phil Castle entering the building only to collide with Rated R.

Phil Castle - Well if it isn't the champ.

Rated R - Well, look what the cat dragged in. What's this I hear of you making matches during the week?

Phil Castle - I manage this place now, so I'll have my office open during the week for people to make challenges and request matches.

Rated R - It didn't take long for you to make yourself comfortable. Just don't get too comfortable.

Phil Castle - Why not, champ?

Rated R - Better men than you haven't lasted at that job. Better men than you have turned that job down. I'll help you pack when you're done.

Phil Castle - You're dead wrong. You'll be gone before I am.

Phil then walks away from Rated R while Ryan just shakes his head, adjusts the belt over his shoulder and then heads for his dressing room.

Lara Jackson vs Kelly Buchanan

"Naked Cousin" by PJ Harvey plays as Kelly Buchanan starts towards the ring. She receives a loud negative reaction from the crowd, but pays it no mind and she winks for one man who is cat calling her. Half way to the ring, she is attacked from behind by Lara Jackson who gives her a double axe handle smash to the back and then picks her up and drops her face first onto the guard railing. Lara then pulls Kelly to ringside and sets her for a DDT, slamming her face first to the floor. Lara then stands her up and rolls her into the ring before rolling herself into the ring. The bell sounds and Lara goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kelly.

Ricky Simms - Lara thought she could get the pin there, but Kelly managed to roll a shoulder out.

Henry Lesher - No one cares. Let's get this over with so we can get to real talent.

Lara stands a bloodied Kelly up, whips her into the corner buckle and then gives her a hip toss from there to the mat. Lara leg drops Kelly across the throat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kelly Buchanan. Lara again stands Kelly up, whips her off the ropes and backdrops her to the mat. Lara then gives Kelly an elbow across the throat and again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kelly and Lara begins to question the speed of Steve Blake's count. Lara again stands Kelly up. Kelly thumbs Lara in the eye. Kelly then whips Lara into the corner buckle and then gives her a knee in the gut before giving her a double under hook suplex to the mat. Kelly then applies a sleeper hold. Referee Steve Blake checks on Lara who appears to be fading in the hold. He raises her arm once and it falls. He raises it a second time and it falls. He raises it a third time, but she manages to keep it raised.

Ricky Simms - Lara's not going to fall asleep in this one.

Henry Lesher - I might.

Kelly releases the hold, stands Lara up, whips her into the corner and misses with a clothesline when Lara ducks it and then she drags Kelly to the mat into a small package. 1...2...3! Lara gets the win over Kelly Buchanan this week to continue her climb in AW.

Ricky Simms - Impressive win for Lara Jackson. No cheating was required this week.

Henry Lesher - It will be impressive if she defeats a real woman like Lunacy Muse or Serena Marcelli, but they're not on the card, are they?

As Lara exits the ring, we look backstage and find Gerard Angelo hobbling his way to his dressing room when he is met by Ray Dees.

Ray Dees - Gerry, fans want to know when your ankle will be set for you to wrestle again.

Gerard Angelo - Don't you have traffic to chase?

Ray Dees - We just want to know your status.

Gerard Angelo - When I am ready to return to action, you won't be the first to know Ray. I'm not telling you a damned thing.

Ray Dees - Can we have a hint?

Gerard Angelo - No, but if you don't back off, I'll give you a shot or two with my crutches.

Ray wisely backs off and we return to the ring.

D.I.C.K. vs Maybon

"Tear In My Beer" by Hank Williams Sr. plays as Dwayne Irving Carter Kingston makes his way out from backstage and into the bright lights of Insurgence. He quickly makes his way to the ring, tipping his hat towards the camera once. We are then informed of our latest Kingston fact. "It takes Dwayne Kingston less than five minutes to beat down GWAR." Kingston jumps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He takes off his cowboy hat and tosses it to the timekeeper and then tests the ropes as his music fades and we hear "Creep" by Radiohead and De'Anton Maybon steps out in front of the crowd to a mixed reaction from the crowd, Henry Rolls struggling for breath as he follows close behind. Maybon starts talking to Kingston from ringside and Kingston simply smiles and motions him into the ring.

Ricky Simms - Odd match up here between these two.

Henry Lesher - Kingston is leaps and bounds higher than Maybon, though Maybon and Parker Davis won me over last week.

Maybon steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. The bell sounds and Maybon locks up with Kingston. Kingston breaks that up with a knee to the gut on Maybon and then gives him a series of forearm upper cuts that send Maybon into the corner. Kingston then hip tosses Maybon to the middle of the ring and applies a surfboard on Maybon while Henry Rolls paces at ringside. Referee Mark Davis checks on Kingston for a submission here as the crowd debates on who they hate more between them.

Ricky Simms - Henry Rolls appears to be deep in thought at ringside.

Henry Lesher - Probably a dilemma about dessert.

Maybon struggles his way up to his feet and Kingston releases him before kicking him in the back. Kingston then gives Maybon a reverse neck breaker and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Maybon. Kingston stands Maybon up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him backwards. Maybon stumbles through the ropes and falls to the floor. Henry Rolls checks on Maybon while Kingston rolls himself out of the ring. Kingston grabs his hat from the timekeeper and pulls a set of brass knuckles from inside it. He puts them on and smiles as he makes his way around to Maybon. Behind him, Parker Davis is rushing to make the save before anything has even happened. Kingston hears Parker coming, turns and drops him with the brass knuckles. This leaves his back turns to Maybon and Maybon gives Kingston a German suplex to the floor. Maybon then stands Kingston up, sets him for and delivers a brain buster on the floor to Kingston.

Ricky Simms - That's got to hurt.

Henry Lesher - Parker is doing a great job these days helping his friend Maybon out.

Ricky Simms - I stand by my calling him a bastard last week.

Henry Lesher - He might have heard you say that.

Ricky Simms - I don't care.

Maybon stands Kingston up, rolls him into the ring and then rolls himself into the ring. He goes for the pin on Kingston. 1...2...3! Maybon gets the win and Kingston appears to be out cold.

Ricky Simms - Kingston's injured here.

Henry Lesher - No doubt about that. His head bounced off the floor.

As medics enter the ring to attend to Kingston, we look backstage to Hoshi Yakamoto standing in the shower, the glass being distorted so our view of her body is obscured. Humming harmoniously, the taps stop, as the shower door opens and a sultry leg moves out slowly. Hoshi grabs a towel and pulls it into the shower. She steps out a few seconds later, soaked and her hair tangled wrapped in a towel that wraps around her lithe torso. Hoshi looks down and sees a rose on the floor, then another, and another.

Hoshi Yakamoto - Oh, Bart.

Hoshi trips over something, and she falls forward her towel slipping loose slightly as she falls into a man’s chest as she looks up she shrieks.

Hoshi Yakamoto - STEVE!

Referee Steve Blake, chuckles sheepishly.

Steve Blake - Hi Mrs Philli…I mean Hoshi.

Hoshi Yakamoto - Steve, were you here the whole time?

Steve Blake - I guess.

Hoshi Yakamoto - Oh…well…if you see him, tell Bart I appreciate the roses.

Steve Blake - It wasn’t Bart. It was me.

Hoshi Yakamoto - You?

Steve Blake - Hoshi, since you lost the X-treme title I haven’t been able to think about anything other than you…I can’t sleep, eat…

Hoshi Yakamoto - Steve I forgave you.

Steve Blake - You’re so naïve, Hoshi. I know you forgive me for that…I just pray that you forgive me for this...god, you’re so beautiful. Hoshi I…

Hoshi Yakamoto - Steve, no!

Steve Blake - Love you.

Hoshi Yakamoto - Oh great. It’s Petey Morgan all over again.

Tears start to brim in Hoshi’s eyes as Steve looks at her.

Steve Blake - Ssssssssssssshhh…it’s okay. Bart doesn’t need to know…

Hoshi Yakamoto - How dare you! I am happily married! How dare you try and make a move on me!!! Go! Go away!

Steve leaves as Hoshi starts to cry, gabs a vase filled with the roses and lobs it at the now closed door which makes the glass vase shatter as they fall on the floor. We then head back to the ring.

PB FUBU vs Bombshell

"I Am the Body Beautiful" by Salt N Pepa plays as Bombshell is led towards the ring by Gerard Angelo. They are half way to the ring when Lightning emerges from the back with a baseball bat in hand. Gerard turns, sees him coming and swings a crutch right into the jaw on Lightning. Lightning falls, but makes sure to shoulder block the injured ankle of Gerard, sending him sprawling to the floor in pain. In the confusion, Bombshell doesn't see FUBU coming and he drops her with a clothesline to the floor. FUBU then stands her up and pulls her by the hair to ringside where he slams her face into the ring apron and then rolls her into the ring. FUBU smiles as he then jumps onto the apron and then somersaults over the top rope into the ring.

Ricky Simms - More aggressive actions from the tag team champions this week.

Henry Lesher - You have to be aggressive when you're not very good.

FUBU stands Bombshell up, whips her off the ropes and then backdrops her to the mat. He goes for a leg drop, but she rolls out of the way and then quickly gets to her feet. She starts trading rights and lefts with FUBU and then thumbs him in the eye before tossing him through the ropes and out to the floor. She then waits for him to get to his feet before she launches herself over the top rope and lands a flying cross body on FUBU that sends him back down to the floor. Bombshell then stands over FUBU and smiles towards the crowd before she boot chokes him on the floor. Bombshell then stands FUBU up and rolls him into the ring before rolling herself into the ring. Bombshell then goes for the pin on FUBU. 1...2... FUBU gets his foot on the bottom rope. Outside the ring, we see Lightning has made his way there and Gerry is using the railing to get there as well, hobbling badly on his injured ankle.

Ricky Simms - Looks like outside interference may continue in this match.

Henry Lesher - Only wimps make a big deal about that. I'll get you a mirror so you can see what one looks like.

Bombshell stands FUBU up, whips him off the ropes and knees him in the gut, sending him through the air in a full somersault before he lands on his tailbone on the mat. Bombshell applies a standing side head lock. FUBU quickly gets to his feet, then picks her up and gives her an atomic drop that breaks the lock she had on him. FUBU then grabs Bombshell by the hair and slams the back of her head down to the mat. He then knees her in the forehead and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Bombshell. Gerard Angelo climbs onto the apron and starts arguing with the referee. Francis Clarke makes his way over to tell Gerard to jump off the apron and Lightning throws a baseball bat into the ring to FUBU. FUBU then drills Bombshell in the throat with the bat and then tosses the bat back out of the ring to Lightning before going for the pin. Francis Clarke sees the pin attempt and counts it. 1...2...3! FUBU wins in what has to be seen as an upset.

Ricky Simms - Bombshell suffers a dose of her own medicine this week.

Henry Lesher - Don't care.

We then see referee Mark Davis rushing to the ring. He rolls himself into the ring and raises Bombshell's hand. He tells Francis Clarke about the use of the baseball bat. Clarke shakes his head and says that a referee's decision is final in AW, regardless of what happened. Davis shakes his head and again raises Bombshell's hand while Gerard Angelo hobbles into the ring to check on her.

Ricky Simms - Apparently Mark Davis is rushing to the defense of Bombshell? What about the other screw job endings? Where is he for those?

Henry Lesher - Leave him alone. He's doing what you have griped for referee's to do for years?

Ricky Simms - Last week he was handing wins to Simon and this week he's reversing a decision for Bombshell?

Henry Lesher - Okay, stop with conspiracy theories.

The argument continues inside the ring and we look backstage where Phil Castle is with Jason Knight in Knight's office.

Jason Knight - With you being the public figure the roster will answer to now, I can start taking some time off.

Phil Castle - I can handle things for sure.

Jason Knight - I expect the events leading up to Blind Rage to go perfectly.

Phil Castle - They will. Between the mole and the referee, we're all set.

Jason Knight - Yes, but keep your eyes open. You never know what some idiot like 6Pac or Tommy Purr might pull. Hell, even Hoshi Yakamoto can be a wildcard.

Phil Castle - All covered. I'll keep them all busy.

Jason Knight - *as he shakes hands with Phil Castle* I'm putting a lot of faith in you.

Phil Castle - You won't regret it.

Craven Broderick vs Shannon Skanes

"It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls starts to play and Craven Broderick makes his way towards the ring, telling the camera that it's time to break another face. Craven jumps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He tests the ropes as his music fades and "The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails plays. Shannon Skanes is led towards the ring by managers Myst and Kathy Smith. They receive some catcalls from the crowd as they take their place at ringside and Shannon climbs the steps onto the apron. Craven warns him not to step into the ring or he'll suffer for it. Shannon looks towards the crowd, shakes his head and then steps through the ropes into the ring. The bell sounds and they lock up. Craven quickly shoves Shannon into the corner buckle and then gives him an arm drag to the middle of the ring where he applies an arm bar. Shannon gets to his feet, eye gouges Craven and then gives him a series of kicks to the ribs before hip tossing him to the mat.

Ricky Simms - Fast start between these two.

Henry Lesher - I'm really starting to feel discouraged without tonight's show. This is the fourth match and nothing has interested me yet.

Shannon stands Craven up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of shoulder blocks before giving him a belly to belly overhead suplex to the mat. Shannon then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Craven Broderick. Shannon stands Craven up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him down to the mat. Shannon then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. He goes for a flying elbow smash from there, but Craven moves out of the way in time and Shannon hits the mat hard. Shannon grabs at his elbow as Craven grabs his arm and pulls him towards the corner. Craven rolls out of the ring and wraps Shannon's arm around the corner buckle. Referee Steve Blake demands a break of the hold, but Craven refuses.

Ricky Simms - Looks like Broderick has snapped.

Henry Lesher - That might make things entertaining.

Craven finally does release and rolls himself into the ring. He places Shannon face down on the mat in a hammer lock. Referee Steve Blake asks Shannon is he submits, but he refuses. Craven then places Shannon's arm over the bottom rope and starts pulling it under the rope and we hear Shannon screaming in pain while refusing to give up here. Craven releases the hold before referee Steve Blake can reach the five count needed for a DQ. He then stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and shoulder blocks him back down to the mat. Craven then climbs to the second rope and lands a knee to the forehead on the former GWO owner from there. Craven then goes for the pin. 1...2... Shannon kicks out. Craven then stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and ducks his head for a backdrop. Shannon kicks Craven in the face and then gives him a Rock Bottom to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Craven.

Ricky Simms - The tables turn in Shannon's favor here.

Henry Lesher - That won't last. He can't keep momentum in a match any better than he keeps a woman.

Shannon stands Craven up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a splash in the corner before giving him a hip toss to the mat. We then see Vesuvius coming out from the backstage area. The crowd gives him a loud and very negative reaction. Shannon turns and sees Vesuvius. Myst and Kathy walk over to Vesuvius and have a few words with him. He answers by throwing salt in their eyes and then starts throwing them both around. Shannon rolls out of the ring, grabs a chair and charges after Vesuvius. Vesuvius takes off running and the chase is on. Shannon follows Vesuvius through the backstage area and into the parking lot. Vesuvius then turns back and smiles.

Vesuvius - You have never been very smart.

Shannon is then attacked by wrestlers we haven't seen on AW TV before. Inside the ring, referee Steve Blake has now counted Shannon out and Craven wins on that basis.

Ricky Simms - Dear Lord, that's Everest, Kenshiro, Sandman and other former CWA wrestlers loyal to Vesuvius!

Henry Lesher - No one cares who they are.

They complete the beat down on their former boss and high five each other before exiting the shot. Vesuvius walks over to Shannon and smiles, then leans in close.

Vesuvius - Blind Rage, bring your friends. I'll bring mine. We can show AW what a real rumble looks like.

Vesuvius then kicks Shannon in the face and walks away. Medics finally arrive to attend to Shannon, a bloodied mess on the ground.

Rodd Gordon vs 6Pac Dudley

"Pride" by Damageplan plays as Rodd Gordon makes his way towards the ring, his Xtreme title held high above his head. He reaches ringside and hands his title belt to the time keeper before pulling himself onto the apron. He then steps through the ropes and looks around at the sold out crowd while his music fades. We then hear "Southtown" by POD and see 6Pac Dudley making his way towards the ring on a dead sprint. He slides into the ring and the bell sounds as Rodd Gordon puts the boots to him. Rodd then stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him to the mat. Rodd then quickly gets to his feet and starts putting the boots to 6Pac. Rodd then stands 6Pac up, whips him into the corner buckle and then misses with a shoulder block when 6Pac moves out of the way. Dudley then gives Rodd a knee to the ribs and then a gut wrench suplex to the mat. 6Pac then goes to the ropes, quickly climbs to the second rope and lands a leg drop across the back of the neck on Rodd before he's had a chance to get to his feet. 6Pac then rolls Rodd over for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Rodd Gordon.

Ricky Simms - Strong start here for both men in an entertaining match up.

Henry Lesher - How about no on that one? I'm still finding this entire show as exciting as NyQuil.

6Pac stands Rodd up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a round house kick to the chest that sends him down to the mat. 6Pac then climbs the ropes again, this time going to the top. He hits a somersault leg drop across the chest on Rodd from there and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rodd. 6Pac shakes his head, stands Rodd up and whips him into the corner buckle. 6Pac then gives him a monkey flip out of there and then goes to the ropes again as we see PB FUBU coming out from the back. 6Pac turns and asks his former partner what he's doing out here. FUBU shrugs and says he wanted to make sure 6Pac was doing well. Rodd Gordon, meanwhile, has got to his feet and proceeds to grabs 6Pac off the top and body slam him to the mat. Rodd then looks out at FUBU and has a few words for him. FUBU says a few things back to Rodd and then Rodd leans through the ropes while 6Pac gets to his feet behind him.

Ricky Simms - They really need to get FUBU out of there.

Henry Lesher - They need to get Nameless out here to destroy them all. Where's he? He's suspended! How does that happen and turn our entire show into garbage?

6Pac turns Rodd around, knees him in the gut and gives him a Bottlesmasher. This brings the crowd to its feet. 6Pac then signals to the crowd he is set to finish the Xtreme Champion off, stands him up, sets for and delivers the Drive By on him, a modified Canadian Destroyer.

Ricky Simms - Looks like 6Pac is set for the win this week.

Henry Lesher - Maybe, but who cares?

6Pac goes for the pin on Rodd Gordon. 1...2... FUBU pulls 6Pac off of Rodd. 6Pac then rolls himself out of the ring and starts having words with FUBU as we see Lightning making his way towards the ring as well, the usual baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire in his hand. Rodd Gordon starts to pull himself up and the referee turns his attention to Rodd for a moment as Lightning clocks 6Pac with the bat. FUBU then stands 6Pac up and rolls him into the ring. Rodd Gordon collapses onto 6Pac for the pin attempt. 1...2...3! Rodd Gordon gets the win partly due to the members of Air Canada, former stable mates with 6Pac Dudley.

Ricky Simms - This is bizarre.

Henry Lesher - I know. I can't fathom so many talent less wrestlers in the same company either.

Backstage we see Moose entering the building. Seeing him on the big screen, the crowd explodes. He is then headed off by Shengee Shmelky who has Salty Tom standing behind him, chowing down on a packet of salt.

Shengee Shmelky - Moose, tonight you call the main event in Baltimore and the fans are going crazy for it! Your thoughts?

Moose - I thought you talked funny.

Shengee Shmelky - I did, but Eminem said I was.... see only one lame pretend white rap guy is allowed I guess. The courts will decide soon.

Moose - Shame about that. Have a nice night.

Shengee Shmelky - But we want to know your opinion of AW and being here.

Moose - You know what? It's nothing major, Shengee. I was called to referee a match since apparently there have been some questionable things going down. I'm going to do that and go home.

Shengee Shmelky - Do you believe the idea that Simon has been favored by Aw management?

Moose - You miss my point again. I don't give a damn. I referee the match, get a pay check and go home.

Shengee Shmelky - What about your wrestling career?

Moose - No one has given me a reason to want to go to the ring yet. Until that happens, I am fine where I am.

Shengee Shmelky - What have you been doing in the six months since GWO closed?

Moose - Stuff, now get out of my way. I have to get ready.

Moose shoves his way past Shengee while an oblivious Salty Tom cracks open another salt packet. We return to the ring.

Kosmic Kitty/Rated R vs Parker Davis/Mordecai Darius

"Saint" by Marilyn Manson plays as Mordecai Darius and Parker Davis start towards the ring. Parker is carrying the chair he used last week to create so much mayhem as he almost made Maybon the number one contender for the world title. Parker yells at the camera about being the best in the world today and then rolls himself into the ring. He slides his chair out of the ring to the floor and then starts talking to Darius about how things are going to work, complete with finger poking to the chest. Darius just nods and appears to mostly ignore Parker. Their music fades and we hear "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out arm in arm with Kosmic Kitty who is carrying a basket of Twinkies. She tosses the soft pastries the way of the crowd and the happy couple reaches ringside where she hands the basket to a lucky little girl before he steps into the apron and then holds the ropes open for Kitty. She steps onto the apron and steps through the ropes before Rated R does the same. Rated R then grabs the microphone from the ring announcer.

Rated R - How does this work with the mixed tag thing? I know I'm the man and Kitty's the woman. Which one of you is the bitch?

Parker and Darius fly into a rage and attack Rated R as the bell sounds. Rated R drops the microphone and we see Kosmic Kitty climbing the ropes. She lands a dropkick to the chest on Darius that sends him sprawling to the mat. Kitty then rolls Darius out of the ring before she goes to her corner and Parker and Rated R are left brawling against the ropes. Parker clotheslines Rated R over the top rope and down to the floor.

Ricky Simms - There won't be much technique in this one.

Henry Lesher - I must admit, that was a good shot taken by Rated R at Parker and Darius before the match, though.

Parker Davis leaves the ring, stands Rated R up and whips him shoulder first into the ring steps. Parker then rolls Rated R back into the ring before rolling himself back in as well. Parker then puts the boots to Rated R while Kitty shouts words of encouragement from their corner. Darius is now in his corner as well and calls out to Parker for the tag. Parker drags the AW champion to his corner and tags in Darius. Darius enters the ring and both men boot choke Rated R in the corner. Parker then exits the ring before referee Francis Clarke is able to reach a five count. Darius stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a lariat that takes him down to the mat. Darius then goes for the pin. 1...2... Rated R kicks out and Kitty applauds.

Henry Lesher - What does Ryan see in her?

Ricky Simms - Ummm, look at her.

Henry Lesher - I try not to.

Darius stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a dropkick when Rated R dodges it. Rated R then headlocks Darius and gives him a bulldog to the mat. Rated R then places Darius' throat over the bottom rope and chokes him with it, releasing before the referee can reach a five count. Rated R stands Darius up, pulls him to his corner and tags in Kitty. She steps through the ropes. They whip Darius off the ropes and then give him a double dropkick to the mat. Kitty then climbs the ropes in the nearest corner and lands a flying leg drop onto the throat of Darius before she goes for the pin. 1...2... Parker breaks it up with a kick to the head on Kitty. Parker then stands Kitty up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor where her head hits the steel guard railing. Parker smiles, but turns and takes an eye gouge from Rated R who then picks Parker up and dumps him over the top rope and down to the floor. Rated R exits the ring and starts putting the boots to Parker while Darius rolls out of the ring and grabs Kitty by the hair.

Ricky Simms - Kitty and Darius are, of course, no strangers to each other.

Henry Lesher - Kitty knows him almost as well as she knows the missionary position.

Ricky Simms - Dear Lord, Doc, have some respect.

Henry Lesher - For that bed hopper? That'll be the day.

Darius slams Kitty's face into the steel steps. Rated R then grabs Darius and slams his face into the steel corner post. Rated R then rolls Darius into the ring before rolling Kitty into the ring as well. Parker manages to find his discarded steel chair and picks it up. Rated R turns and takes a chair shot to the face from Parker Davis. Referee Francis Clarke sees that and calls for the bell. Parker protests that it was an accident and throws the chair aside.

Ricky Simms - Well, there goes that match, thanks to that bastard Parker.

Inside the ring, Darius is enraged at being denied a victory over Kitty and he rolls himself out of the ring and starts having words with Parker. As the two jaw at one another, we see De'Anton Maybon rushing out from the back. He grabs the discarded chair and slams it across the back of the head of Darius. He and Parker then high five each other and start for the back. Parker leans in close to the camera.

Parker Davis - Tonight wasn't about winning. I had to send the champ a message not to mess with me. Message delivered via Maybon here, the toughest son of a bitch in AW today.

Ricky Simms - They make a dangerous team.

Henry Lesher - They wouldn't be dangerous if they were both running with scissors.

Ricky Simms - I thought you liked Parker.

Henry Lesher - Opinions change. Deal with it.

Backstage we see Lara Jackson readying to leave when she is headed off by Phil Castle.

Lara Jackson - What do you want?

Phil Castle - Anarchy may have an opening within its inner circle. The stable could use a tough woman like you.

Lara Jackson - No one owns me, Castle.

Phil Castle - Just think it over. If you want your path in AW paved in gold, follow the right path. Follow ours.

Lara shakes her head and exits the building. Phil nods.

Phil Castle - She's going to be in soon enough.

We head back to the ring.

Simon vs Diego Alvarez

"Sold You" by Seether plays as Simon steps out from backstage and he gets a more mixed reaction than usual. He pays that reaction no mind as he makes his way to the ring. He rolls himself into the ring and then crouches in the corner and looks towards the entrance for Diego Alvarez. "Clash of the Titans" by Cypress Hill starts to play and Diego Alvarez starts to make his way towards the ring. He stops at ringside and looks around at the crowd, nodding his head. His music then stops playing and we hear "H" by Tool and the arena comes unglued as Moose starts to make his way towards the ring with a smile on his face.

Ricky Simms - This match will be a Taipei Death Match! Each man will wear tape on his fists that are covered in broken glass. This will not be a match for the kids to see.

Henry Lesher - Have you seen the games kids play these days? You're so out of touch.

Moose steps into the ring and motions Simon to him and starts putting two sided tape on his hand. Diego pulls himself onto the apron and looks around at the crowd before stepping through the ropes. An attendant outside the ring slides a bucket into the ring and Simon places his tapes fists into it and draws them back out, the double sided tape now covered in glass. Diego proceeds to do the same while "Moose" chants get louder. Moose looks to Simon as he kicks the bucket towards the apron where the attendant takes it away. He makes sure Diego is set to go and calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Moose is the best man to call a brutal fight like this.

Henry Lesher - Simon will win this one. Diego's not man enough to go over in a hardcore match like this.

Diego and Simon trade rights and lefts as the crowd cheers. Simon then knees Diego in the gut and gives him a quick DDT to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Diego Alvarez. Simon stands Diego up, whips him off the ropes and shoulder blocks him down to the mat, then misses with a knee drop when Diego rolls out of the way. Diego then pulls himself to his feet and gives Simon a right hook to the jaw followed by a bionic elbow between the eyes and then clotheslines him to the mat where Diego goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Simon. Diego then stands Simon up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a German suplex to the mat, stands him up and gives him a second German suplex and then holds his shoulders down for the pin attempt. 1...2... Simon again kicks out. Diego gets to his feet and starts putting the boots to Simon. Simon rolls himself out of the ring to regroup, Diego following close behind him. Diego turns Simon around and takes a left to the forehead follows by a head butt. The bloodied men then start trading punches again.

Ricky Simms - It's like watching men use cheese graders on each others foreheads.

Henry Lesher - Abdullah the Butcher's here?

Ricky Simms - *sighs* No, Doc, he isn't.

Henry Lesher - That's a tease.

Diego slams Simon's forehead onto the steel steps. Simon then low blows Diego and then rolls him into the ring. Simon grabs the chair from underneath the timekeeper and dumps him onto the floor, then folds the chair and rolls into the ring. Moose tells Simon that's not part of this match and Simon almost takes a swing at Moose. Simon then drills Diego across the back with the chair three times before tossing it out of the ring. He then rolls him over for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Diego. Simon has a few words for Moose as the crowd starts another chant for the guest referee.

Henry Lesher - That was a slow count.

Ricky Simms - The hell it was. Moose just isn't giving Simon wins like Mark Davis did last week.

Simon stands Diego up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a fall away slam from there and again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Diego. Simon again has a few words for Moose. Simon stands Diego up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a series of right hooks to the forehead, further bloodying his opponent. Diego then drops and rolls himself out of the ring. Simon follows. Diego picks up the ring steps and turns and smashes Simon across the forehead with them. Diego then tosses them aside and stands Simon up, rolling him into the ring. Diego rolls himself into the ring as well and goes for the pin on Simon. 1...2... kick out by Simon.

Ricky Simms - This match is just as brutal as we expected. Moose is calling it down the middle and letting them beat the hell out of each other.

Henry Lesher - Every match should include beat the hell out of each other in its description. There's too much ballet around here, not enough fighting.

Diego stands Simon up, whips him into the corner and then charges into raised knee from Simon who then lands an upper cut to the jaw on Diego and follows that up with a head butt and then clotheslines him down to the mat. Simon then measures Diego for and delivers a right hand to the already bloodied forehead. Simon then two handed chokes Diego while referee Moose looks on. Simon releases the choke, stands Diego up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline when Diego ducks it and then gives Simon a reverse neck breaker. Diego then rolls out of the ring and picks up the ring steps and then slides them into the ring. Diego rolls himself back into the ring while the fans cheer him on. Diego stands Simon up. Simon gives Diego a right hook to the jaw. Diego knees Simon in the gut and then gives him a DDT onto the ring steps and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Diego Alvarez gets the win and the crowd goes wild, Moose raising Diego's hand in victory.

Ricky Simms - Diego gets the win over the man who is the number one contender!

Henry Lesher - That was a fast count by Moose.

Ricky Simms - Fat load of crap that is.

As Moose exits the ring, we see Phil Castle on the big screen.

Phil Castle - Since Diego is so convinced he's deserving of a title shot, tell you what we'll do. At Blind Rage on April 2nd, Diego and Simon will challenge Rated R for the belt. To keep things fair, Mark Davis will be the referee for the match. No offence, Moose, but that count was fast and we want everything fair at our next big pay per view.

Moose - Fast count my ass.

Phil Castle - Heal up fast, guys. The real test is coming soon.

Phil laughs and then fades from the screen and we fade the show to black with a final shot of the bloodied opponents in the main event tonight.
