May 14th, Raleigh, NC

It's a capacity crowd tonight, anxious to see the latest edition of Insurgence. We hear "Passive" by A Perfect Circle and see images of Simon right from his original CWA appearance through his GWO title reign through his many victories in AW. We then head down to the ring where Vesuvius stands, a microphone in hand.

Vesuvius - Some people.... can't hack AW. That's okay. I understand that. I get it. For some, they want to be number one so bad, they cannot handle being anywhere other than at the top. Simon really pulled one over on AW this week. A member of my stable, MY STABLE, he has walked out on this company and will not be wrestling tonight! *loud chorus of boos* Now, here's what I have been able to do. Simon had a release clause in his contract. He was allowed to walk. His wife, however.... *smile crosses Vesuvius' face* Xandra, come on down!

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails plays as Xandra reluctantly makes her way towards the ring. The crowd boos her as well. She has tear streaks down her cheeks, her black eye liner a complete mess at this point. She stops at ringside and looks around at the crowd. She then pulls herself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes and into the ring. Vesuvius' smile widens.

Vesuvius - Been a long time, Xandra.

Xandra - Let's just get this over with.

Vesuvius - Your husband is a coward, my dear. Rather than work his way through the wrestlers we have here, he decided to flip this company off and quit. Pray tell, X, why did you marry him?

Xandra - I'm not here to answer that.

Vesuvius - That's where you're wrong. Simon left a lot of angry people in his wake. He's gone. All eyes are on you. People will take it out on you.

Xandra - What Simon did was wrong. I had nothing to do with it.

Vesuvius - Are you still playing things this way? It's always the man's fault with you, isn't it?

Xandra - *smiles at Vesuvius* I haven't found a decent one yet.

Vesuvius grabs Xandra by the throat and is set to choke slam her when "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace plays and Anarchy champion, Rated R, starts making his way towards the ring. The crowd cheers him and he high fives them as he reaches ringside. He then rolls himself into the ring and stands face to face with Vesuvius, who still has his hand around Xandra's throat.

Rated R - I think we've seen enough, boss.

Vesuvius - Well if it isn't the esteemed champion who helped send Simon away.

Rated R - Oh, how rich, now it's my fault?

Vesuvius - The blame goes far beyond this whore here. You see, Simon was supposed to become the world champion at Bloodshed.

Rated R - But he didn't. The title is still mine.

Vesuvius - From the day you won that title, I have been doing everything in my power to get it off of you and Simon was the best man for the job. Now, I go to plan B.

Rated R - *laughs* I cannot believe this. You're actually calling someone plan B.

Vesuvius - But plan B will take the title from you very soon.

Gerard Angelo rolls into the ring behind Rated R and chop blocks the right knee out from under him and then wraps him in a figure four. Vesuvius then choke slams Xandra to the mat while the crowd boos him and starts a "V-Man sucks" chant. Vesuvius then leg drops the knee of Rated R while he's still in the figure four. Gerard then releases the hold and leaves the ring with Vesuvius while Rated R lies screaming in the center of the ring. Vesuvius raises Gerard's arms high and tells the camera that this is the next AW champion.

Ricky Simms - That was a set up and it worked to perfection.

Henry Lesher - Rated R should know better than that.

Ricky Simms - It looks like plan B starts with Rated R's knee being injured.

Henry Lesher - I like it. It works for me.

Backstage we see Noah Skanes in his office looking over contracts and he looks concerned. Shannon Skanes, his father of course, enters the office already looking concerned as well.

Shannon Skanes - It's the way Vesuvius does business.

Noah Skanes - Look at this list. Tre Valdez, Simon, Rodd Gordon and all gone within a week.

Shannon Skanes - Add Daniel McCoy to the list.

Noah Skanes - *sighs* This company is in trouble then.

Shannon Skanes - On the surface it is, yes. You need to have a little faith though, son.

Noah Skanes - How do you mean?

Shannon Skanes - I ran into someone outside...

Shannon turns and looks towards the doorway to the office and The Freak, Himself walks in.

Noah Skanes - Holy crap, look what the cat dragged in.

Freak, Himself - Heard a rumor you were hiring.

Shannon Skanes - And? Tell him the rest.

Freak, Himself - I'm not alone.

Noah Skanes - This is unexpected.

Shannon Skanes - It's a cliche in this business, but AW is about to go old school.

Bombshell vs Rated R

Rated R is being attended to inside the ring by EMTs. We then hear "I Am the Body Beautiful" by Salt N Pepa and Bombshell starts for the ring. She receives boos as loud as her fiancee did moments ago. She smiles as she makes her way to the ring and Kosmic Kitty reluctantly announces the contestants for this match.

Ricky Simms - This must be part of the set up.

Henry Lesher - You catch on fast there, Rick.

Bombshell pulls herself up onto the apron and then leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She bows before the crowd and referee Joe Davidson has to call for the bell. Bombshell then pulls the still down Rated R to the middle of the ring and applies a figure four leglock on him. Joe Davidson checks for a submission here, but the champ refuses to give up. Rated R then reaches for the ropes while Bombshell tries to strengthen her hold on a weakened champion. Rated R lunges again for the ropes and this time manages to snag the bottom rope. Joe Davidson then breaks the hold. Bombshell protests as she gets to her feet. She then pulls Rated R to the middle of the ring again and goes for another figure four. As she turns around to wrap up his knee again, he kicks her into the buckle face first. Rated R then rolls her into a school boy pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Bombshell.

Ricky Simms - The champ is showing a lot of heart here.

Henry Lesher - Well, he has no knee ligaments left. He has to use something.

Rated R uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet. Bombshell gets to her feet and charges at Rated R. He ducks and Bombshell is backdropped over the top and out to the floor. Rated R then drops and rolls out of the ring. He gives Bombshell a double axe handle across the back followed by another and then a third as well. Rated R follows that up with an elbow across the back of her neck and then stands her up and rolls her back into the ring before rolling himself in as well, still hobbled on one knee and not able to put much weight on it.

Ricky Simms - Ryan's in trouble here.

Henry Lesher - Ryan will lose his title to Gerard Angelo. It's his own fault.

Rated R stands Bombshell up, whips her into the corner buckle and then gives her a series of shoulder blocks before he then gives her a belly to belly over head suplex to the mat. Rated R then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Bombshell. Rated R then stands her up again, whips her off the ropes and she ducks a clothesline before tripping the feet out from under Rated R and then applies a single leg Boston Crab on the onjured knee of the champ. The crowd starts a chant for Rated R.

Ricky Simms - Bombshell wearing down Rated R, perhaps as a pre-wedding gift to Gerard.

Henry Lesher - I think this is great.

Ricky Simms - Yeah, you would.

Rated R reaches for the ropes, clearly in serious pain from his injured knee. He then rolls himself over and kicks Bombshell in the back with his free leg and then he does a shoulder roll that takes the feet out from under her. Rated R then applies an STF on Bombshell. Bombshell reaches for the ropes while Rated R holds onto the submission maneuver. Bombshell then lunges for and manages to grab the bottom rope.

Ricky Simms - I thought he had her there.

Henry Lesher - That's because you're an idiot.

Rated R stands Bombshell up, then knees her in the ribs and delivers the Tommy Knocker and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Rated R manages the win despite the bad knee.

Ricky Simms - Amazing win by a gutsy champion tonight!

Henry Lesher - Everyone gets a lucky win, but his luck will run out soon.

Rated R limps away from the ring, referee Joe Davidson helping him to the back. We then look backstage and see Freak, Himself leading Shannon Skanes to the parking lot. He steps outside and comes face to face with Leech.

Shannon Skanes - Well, look who's here.

Leech - Freak and I aren't here to make friends with you. We heard you need people and we need a place to fight.

Shannon Skanes - I thought you had your own company now.

Leech - *smiles* That's none of your business. If you don't want to sign us, that's fine with us. We can go to BLPW.

Shannon Skanes - What's that?

Leech - Nice, look, you gonna sign us or not?

Shannon Skanes - Just realize this isn't NPA. This is AW.

Leech - Meaning what exactly?

Shannon Skanes - Meaning if you see yourself as an outlaw bringing a new truth to this company, you're in for a major setback.

Leech - I expect the contract sent to us by the end of tomorrow.

Shannon Skanes - And it's you and Freak?

Leech - *laughs* We're not alone, Skanes. Ever heard of Darren Romeo?

Shannon Skanes - I heard he was a flake job.

Leech - Forget anything you heard about that. Sign us. Book us. Stay out of our way.

Freak, Himself - *looking at his watch* We gotta run.

Leech - *nods* Right, business calls. Send us the contracts. You know the fax number.

Shannon Skanes - Oh, I remember it well.

Shannon watches them get into Leech's car and drive away, Noah coming out and standing next to his father.

Noah Skanes - I still don't trust Leech.

Shannon Skanes - You would be a fool if you did, kiddo.

Diego Alvarez

"Clash of the Titans" by Cypress Hill plays as an angry Superior champion makes his way to the ring. He steps through the ropes, grabs a microphone and addresses us all.

Diego Alvarez - So, I hear my opponent quit this week! Wow, do I have great luck or what? I have a title over my shoulder and no opponent to face. Tell you what? I want to fight tonight. I want to fight and I want someone backstage to accept my challenge. I'll wait all night if I have to.

Diego tosses the microphone down. There are a few moments of silence and then we hear "Tiny Rubberband" by Butthole Surfers and Shengee Shmelky makes his way towards the ring and the crowd cheers. He has a CWA T-shirt on and proudly shows it off to the crowd.

Henry Lesher - Tell me this isn't answering a challenge.

Ricky Simms - It appears this show needed a little Shmelk.

Henry Lesher - Nothing needs Shmelk.

Shengee picks up the microphone off of the mat and stands face to chest with Diego.

Shengee Shmelky - The CWA is proud to announce that there will be an event the day before bITCHSLAP! yo. The CWA is proud to announce that we be comin' back yo. Da Shmelk be rulin' da house again yo! I gots to be me yo and me be the rappin' king of Shmelk! June 3rd, from Toronto, Ontario, CWA presents Terror in the Aisles! *crowd cheers* Ya like that yo! I knews ya would! Tonight I be here to answer this Diego poser yo! I be da bomb and he be da fallen one tonight! Terror in the Aisles biatch, the CWA is back!

Diego then clotheslines Shengee down and referee Francis Clarke calls for the bell. Diego stands Shengee up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a backdrop to the mat that he follows up with a leg drop across the throat. Diego then picks Shengee up over his shoulder and gives him a power slam to the mat. Diego shakes his head and then goes to the ropes. He makes his way to the top and then lands a flying elbow smash across the chest of Shengee before he goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Diego wins and Shengee didn't get a single move in on him.

Henry Lesher - So does he represent the CWA? Is the CWA small and weak like that?

Ricky Simms - June 3rd, Terror in the Aisles and only twenty four hours before bITCHSLAP! What an exciting weekend that will be.

Henry Lesher - Well, Rated R should be losing his title to Gerry. That's a nice wedding present for the guy, too.

Backstage we see Tommy Purr posting the open contract for the WAR GAMES Match at “BiTCHSLAP!” on his makeshift office door. Ray Dees catches up with Tommy.

Ray Dees: So, Tommy, what exactly does this contract entail?

Tommy Purr: Basically, this contract states that whoever signs will represent Anarchy Wrestling in the WAR GAMES Match as a member of Team A.W.

Ray Dees: Are you willing to reveal to us who the fifth member of Team A.W. is? The mystery opponent that you’ve kept hidden from us these past couple of weeks?

Tommy Purr: Actually …

Gerard Angelo and Bombshell step into the picture.

Gerard Angelo: Well, look who it is, Tommy Pussy himself.

Tommy Purr: Oh, look, it’s “the Rebel Without a Clue.”

Bombshell: Still looking for pathetic individuals to comprise Team A.W. for the WAR GAMES Match on your mediocre Pay-Per-View?

Tommy Purr: Actually, I was just getting ready to inform Ray about that situation … see … the person I had planned to join Team A.W. was none other than Davlin McCaine. Unfortunately, prior commitments have kept Davlin from returning to the ring at present time … you know … aside from being a wrestler he’s also an author, an actor, and a pimp. And I mean “pimp” in the literal sense.

Gerard Angelo: What’s your point, Purr?!

Tommy Purr: My point is that there are now two slots open in Team A.W. … this contract will fill the final slot … but I’ve already chosen the fourth member of Team A.W.

Bombshell: And who’s that? What overrated performer did you dig up now?

Tommy Purr: Simple … your fiancé.

Gerard Angelo: I beg your pardon!?

Tommy Purr: See, Gerry, since you managed to weasel your way into MY event after I specifically said that you were barred from competing, I realized something. It’ll be more fun toying with you than keeping you on the sidelines watching from the outside. Just in case – by some random act of God – you survive your match against Ryan, you’ll have to make it through the WAR GAMES Match.

Gerry and Bombshell both look stunned.

Tommy Purr: Make sure you put Ryan away for good in your championship match, because if not … you’ll have to deal with him in the WAR GAMES Match.

Tommy smirks as he takes a stapler and slams it against the door, stapling the contract to the door. Tommy walks off as Ray, Gerry, and Bombshell look stunned.

Blonde Ambition vs YPM

"Surfing With the Alien" by Joe Satriani plays as Hoshi Yakamoto and Bart Phillips make their way towards the ring. They get a warm reception from the crowd as they high five fans and then step up onto the apron. They step through the ropes into the ring and their music fades and then we hear "My Favorite Game" by The Cardigans and Kathy Smith and Kelly Buchanan make their way towards the ring, led by their former stable mate Corina. Corina gives them some advice as they reach ringside and then Kathy pulls herself onto the apron and then steps into the ring. The bell sounds and Kathy locks up with Hoshi.

Ricky Simms - This match is a continuation from a match at Backdraft.

Henry Lesher - I fell asleep during that and I will fall asleep during this.

Kathy backs Hoshi into the ropes and then whips her to the opposite side of the ring and then gives her a dropkick that sends her down to the mat. Kathy then quickly gets to her feet, stands Hoshi up and whips her off the ropes and then gives her a clothesline to the mat. Kathy then pulls Hoshi to her corner and tags in Kelly. They both stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and gives her a double kick to the chest and then a double DDT. Kelly goes for the pin while Kathy exits the ring. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. Kelly then stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and Hoshi ducks a clothesline and then gives Kelly a lariat that takes her down to the mat and goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Kelly Buchanan.

Ricky Simms - Nice recovery by Hoshi there.

Henry Lesher - Sorry, I am sleeping.

Hoshi rolls to her corner and tags in Bart Phillips. We then see Parker Davis and De'Anton Maybon making their way towards the ring with the tag team titles over their shoulders. Bart enters the ring and stands Kelly up, then whips her into the corner buckle before giving her a knee to the ribs. Bart then picks Kelly up and gives her a shoulder breaker and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Kelly rolls a shoulder out. Parker starts shouting at them both from ringside.

Ricky Simms - Parker is busy ruining another match here with Maybon.

Henry Lesher - It's a tag team match. They heard there were real tag teams here and they couldn't believe it, so they had to come and see it themselves.

Bart stands Kelly up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a dropkick to the mat and then starts climbing the ropes in the nearest corner. Parker reaches for the ropes and Bart turns and launches himself at Parker. Parker catches him in mid-air and Maybon gives Bart a punch to the jaw. Kathy jumps off the apron and has words for the tag team champions. Maybon gives Kathy a super kick to the jaw and then referee Shawna Miller calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - This match has been thrown out.

Henry Lesher - Good, it was a useless match anyways.

Kelly and Hoshi make their way around the ring, see their fallen partners and dropkick both Parker and Maybon down to the floor. Hoshi then stands Parker up while Kelly stands Maybon up and then they ram their heads together. Kelly and Hoshi then lock eyes with each other. Kelly extends her hand towards Hoshi. Hoshi looks to the crowd and then back at Kelly. They then shake hands before they attend to their partners.

Ricky Simms - Looks like this feud is over.

Henry Lesher - Parker does another public service this week.

We see Myst entering the building and she has a smile on her face. She is headed off by Crystal Braun.

Crystal Braun - What's with the smile?

Myst - Tonight I will not only advance to the semi-finals in the CWA title tournament, I have been informed that I get a match at Terror in the Aisles I have been looking forward to.

Crystal Braun - What's that?

Myst - I get a shot at Dante.... and Rated R. My husband and I will team up to face them June 3rd. The ink is drying on the contract now.

Crystal Braun - Dante teaming with Ryan? That seems unusual.

Myst - It's what's on the line that drew them to it. The winning team squares off against each other in a match immediately following the match. If they win, Dante and Ryan destroy each other. If Shannon and I win, the world finally gets to see us wrestle each other.

Crystal Braun - I can't believe it.

Myst - Shannon and I have no fear in this one. We know what is going to happen. CWA fans will see a great event. This 50/50 split is looking better all the time.

Myst hums to herself as she then walks on and we head back to the ring.

Tommy Purr vs. D.I.C.K. vs Parker Davis

"Walk Idiot Walk" by The Hives plays as Tommy Purr starts towards the ring, Parker Davis already inside the ring with De'Anton Maybon standing at ringside. Tommy is walked to the ring by Mrs. Robinson and he has a few words with her when he reaches ringside.

Ricky Simms - That was a pretty amazing announcement. Myst would fight her own husband?

Henry Lesher - Dante will be there? That's the real news! He will win the match by himself and then destroy Rated R the day before Gerry takes his belt. It couldn't be more perfect.

Ricky Simms - You're as objective as ever, Doc.

As Tommy steps into the ring, his music fade and then we hear "Tear In My Beer" by Hank Williams, Sr. and Dwayne Kingston emerges from backstage with Cecil U.N. Tanner at his side. We then see the D.I.C.K. fact for the week which is, "D.I.C.K. doesn't need a lawyer, he settles all of his disputes in a staring contest format." Kingston then clotheslines Cecil Tanner down and grabs a nearby speaker and smashes it over the lawyer's head. Kingston then continues his march towards the ring while EMTs come out to attend to the fallen lawyer.

Ricky Simms - I guess Tanner's been fired.

Henry Lesher - They're dropping like flies.

Kingston reaches ringside and then pulls himself onto the apron, tipping his hat towards Maybon and then he steps through the ropes and into the ring. The bell sounds and Kingston drills Parker in the jaw with his hat, then tosses it out of the ring. A confused Maybon makes his way over to the hat and pulls out a brick.

Ricky Simms - That's the first loaded hat I have seen.

Henry Lesher - Kingston had to find a hat tough enough to sit on his head.

Kingston then starts trading punches with Purr, backing him into the ropes. Kingston then gives Purr a monkey flip that sends him down to the mat. Kingston quickly gets to his feet and looks over at the bloodied Parker Davis. Kingston goes for the pin. 1...2... Maybon puts Parker's foot on the bottom rope. Kingston sees this and rolls himself out of the ring to talk to Maybon. Purr then rolls himself out of the ring, runs around behind Kingston and then clotheslines him face first to the floor. Purr then stands Kingston up and whips him shoulder first into the steel corner post. Purr then gives Kingston an atomic drop.

Ricky Simms - Tommy in control while Parker lays in a pool of his own blood thanks to that brick.

Henry Lesher - Kingston was actually using the brick to cushion the strength of his punch. In fact, in the event of a car accident, his car uses him as an airbag.

Ricky Simms - Sure it does.

Purr rolls Kingston into the ring and then rolls himself into the ring as well. Tommy stands Kingston up, whips him off the ropes and Kingston ducks a clothesline and then gives Tommy a face buster, then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Parker finally shows signs of life as Maybon cheers him on from ringside. Kingston stands Tommy up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Kingston then goes to the ropes, makes his way to the second rope and then gives Tommy a clothesline from there. A dazed and bleeding Parker then manages a kick to the face on Kingston, then stands him up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Parker then turns back to Tommy and starts putting the boots to him. Parker then headlocks Tommy and gives him a bulldog to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Tommy kicks out.

Ricky Simms - Parker nearly pulled this one out.

Kingston gets to his feet at ringside and Maybon takes a swing at him with the brick. Kingston ducks it, pulls the brick from his hand and hits him in the ribs with it before cradling it against his chest and then rolling himself back into the ring. He then clubs Parker in the skull from an angle that referee Steve Blake can't see. Kingston again tosses it aside and then goes for the pin on Parker Davis. 1...2...3! Dwayne Kingston pulls off the win this week and exits the ring with a smile on his face. Tommy complains to referee Steve Blake about the brick, but Steve explains he never saw it. Kingston mocks Tommy as he retreats to the back, the crowd cheering Kingston more than they usually would.

Ricky Simms - Parker took that brick to the head twice. He appears to be badly hurt here.

Henry Lesher - Tommy needs to rediscover that mean streak if he's going to turn things around.

Backstage we see Sal Clemenzo with Guido making their way into Noah's office.

Noah Skanes - Take it to Castle. He's GM.

Sal Clemenzo - No, we have a proposal for you.

Noah Skanes - Such as?

Sal Clemenzo - I want to call a couple of legends out for this Terror in the Aisles event.

Noah Skanes - I'll see what I can do.

Sal Clemenzo - I have always wanted a match with that manimal BasketKase. If we can make that a reality, I would appreciate it.

Noah Skanes - I'll talk to Lesher. Who else?

Sal Clemenzo - I want to see how I would do against the true embodiment of evil.

Noah Skanes - Martha Stewart?

Sal Clemenzo - No, wise guy, give me Diablo.

Noah Skanes - Well..... I don't know if we could....

Sal Clemenzo - Make it happen. June 3rd, I face them both. If I don't, I come back here and pay you a visit.

Noah just sits silently as Sal then exits his office. He lets out a sigh when Sal and Guido are out of sight.

Pyro vs. Yakamoto Takashi

As we head back to the ring, we see an impatient Yakamoto Takashi is already inside the ring with Kira Yakamoto at ringside awaiting their title shot. "Murder By Numbers" by Bleeding Through plays as the lights dim and Xtreme champion Pyro makes his way out towards the ring, led by Giovanni Mabius who nods towards the camera.

Ricky Simms - That's a blast from the past.

Henry Lesher - Let's blast it back to the past.

As Pyro reaches the ring, Wren SilverPhoenix's voice suddenly emanates from underneath.

Wren's Voice: Hey, just act normal, I'm here to help.

Looking confused, Pyro leans over and lifts up the ring apron to find only a tape recorder and a steel chair wrapped in gas soaked rags under the ring. As understanding dawns on him, Pyro starts to raise back up with a snarl. Before that happens however, Wren comes barreling down the ramp and like an NFL calibur kicker, nails Pyro right in his backside with her boot, sending him crashing into the side of the ring. With Pyro momentarily stunned, Wren grabs the steel chair from under the ring and quickly lights it on fire. With the chair blazing brightly, Wren waits as Pyro gets to his knees then smashes the fiery chair directly into his face. As Pyro tumbles backward, Wren turns the chair over and brings it down unmercifully onto Pyro's right knee over and over as Pyro wails in agony. *ding ding* Hearing the bell, Wren drops the chair, picks Pyro up by the back of his neck and his pants and laboriously tosses the AW Xtreme Champion into the ring for a waiting Yakamoto before turning with a evil smile and leaving ringside. Giovanni Mabius is in a state of shock as this all happened so fast.

Ricky Simms - What the hell was that?

Henry Lesher - An attack I actually enjoyed.

Yakamoto Takashi starts landing double axe handle smashes across the knee of Pyro, then picks him up and gives him a press slam to the mat. Takashi then signals something to Kira Yakamoto and she reaches under the ring and pulls out a kendo stick. She tosses it into the ring to Takashi and he starts choking Pyro with it. Mabius pulls himself onto the apron and shouts something at Takashi. Takashi takes one hand off the kendo stick to take a swing at Mabius and Pyro manages to land a series of elbows to the gut on Takashi and then Pyro drops and rolls himself out of the ring. He then stands face to face with Kira and smiles. Takashi rolls himself out of the ring and, as Pyro cocks his fist to punch Kira, Takashi grabs his fist and pulls his arm back into a painful arm bar. Takashi then gives Pyro a side Russian leg sweep to the floor. Takashi slowly gets to his feet and then rolls himself into the ring while Mabius makes his way around the ring to check on Pyro.

Ricky Simms - It's a real trip down memory lane tonight.

Henry Lesher - It reminds me why the CWA folded like it did.

Mabius helps Pyro to his feet and then rolls him into the ring. Takashi stands Pyro up, whips him off the ropes and then chop blocks the knee out from underneath Pyro. Takashi then motions to Kira again. She reaches under the ring and pulls out a crow bar. Mabius sees this and grabs her hand and won't allow her to throw the weapon in to Takashi. Takashi walks to the ropes and reaches for Mabius, grabbing a handful of hair. He pulls Mabius onto the apron and then picks him up by the throat and brings him into the ring with a choke slam. Kira then tosses the crow bar to Takashi who turns and takes a low blow from Pyro who then grabs the crow bar and hits Takashi between the eyes with it. Pyro then gives him a shot to the throat with the crow bar and then clotheslines him to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2...3! Pyro wins the match in a hotly contested match up against Yakamoto Takashi.

Ricky Simms - That was really violent and I don't think these two have seen the last of each other.

Henry Lesher - I hope not. That was great, right from Wren's attack through to that last bit there. A crow bar is always a fun tool, great at parties. Whack one in the head and the rest of your guests get the hint and go home.

Pyro rolls out of the ring and again comes face to face with Kira. Mabius rolls himself out of the ring now, recovering from the choke slam and he stands behind Kira. Pyro gives Kira a headbutt to the floor and then a series of kicks to the ribs before he grabs his title belt and starts for the back.

Ricky Simms - It's going to take a lot to get the title off of Pyro's waist.

Henry Lesher - I never thought I would see the day someone said that and didn't burst out laughing.

The camera goes backstage where we see Tommy standing in his makeshift office with Hoshi Yakamoto. Hoshi looks slightly worried.

Hoshi Yakamoto: Tommy, why did you need to see me?

Tommy Purr: I needed to be the first to tell you that the police are here to talk to Yvonne … they discovered that it wasn’t Ryan who set her lawn on fire … it was Tanja.

Hoshi Yakamoto: What?! That’s impossible! But … why … I can’t believe that Tan would do su—

Hoshi doesn’t finish as a loud shriek is heard. Bombshell comes blazing into the picture and tackles Hoshi. The two Divas fall back onto a black leather couch, tipping it over onto its back as they begin throwing wild punches at one another. Phil Castle enters the office with a clipboard in hand as Tommy rushes over to pull Bombshell off of Hoshi. Tommy has Bombshell by the arms, but Hoshi gets to her feet and starts cursing in Japanese, throwing jabs at Bombshell. Tommy struggles to separate the two. Phil looks unconcerned.

Phil Castle: Hey, Tommy … I need you to sign something …

Tommy Purr: Uh … I’m a little busy right now, Phil … what is it?

Phil Castle: Oh, nothing that important, it’s just something to help secure “Tommy Time’s” spot on the card next week before “Parker’s Panto” gets the time slot.

Tommy Purr: *Struggling* Fine, whatever …

The Divas continue fighting as Tommy takes the pen out of a smiling Phil’s hand and scribbles his name. Phil smiles.

Tommy Purr: Is that all, Mr. Castle?

Phil Castle: Oh yes, Tommy … absolutely “Purrfect”!

Phil exits the office as Tommy goes back to trying to separate the women. Tommy screams for security as Tommy gets caught between the two, with Hoshi jumping on his back to try and get at a slapping Yvonne. Tommy finally separates the two.

Tommy Purr: That is ENOUGH!!! I’ve had it with this ridiculous feud … you two WILL end this at “BiTCHSLAP!” … and I’ve finally decided on your match stipulation.

Bombshell: Bring it on!

Tommy Purr: Since you two are such exhibitionists … making homemade videos with your significant others … and posing nude in “Playboy” … you two should have no issues with baring your bodies in front of a live audience.

Hoshi Yakamoto: What are you talking about?

Tommy Purr: At “BiTCHSLAP!” you two are facing off in the first-ever “Skin-to-Win” Match … the first Diva stripped COMPLETELY NUDE will lose the match.

Bombshell: I have no issues with that … considering I’m going to win.

Hoshi Yakamoto: It wouldn’t matter if you lost anyway, big shock, everyone’s already seen you naked you whore!

Bombshell: You bitch!

Tommy Purr: STOP! Save it for the 4th … Yvonne … I demand that you return the G.W.O. Women’s Championship … since I sold that replica to Tanja, we’ve been having you two running around as disputed champions. Not only will your match be for bragging rights as to who is the hottest “Playboy” Cover Girl, it’ll also be to determine the Undisputed Women’s Champion … the first-ever A.W. Triple-D.: Divas, Dames, & Dolls Championship.

Hoshi Yakamoto: Another piece of gold I can add to my list.

Bombshell: Big deal, you held the Xtreme Title … now Pyro holds it, some legacy YOU left behind!

Tommy Purr: And since you two can’t act like civilized ladies in front of me … I’ve hired a Special Guest Referee. In your match, Hugh Hefner will officiate.

Bombshell: I don’t care who officiates, as long as I get my hands on this little bitch.

Hoshi Yakamoto: I bow down to the queen of all bitches!

Bombshell: You’ll bow down to this!

Bombshell lunges for Hoshi again as the two Divas sandwich Tommy as he screams for more security again.

Wren SilverPhoenix vs Max Cameron

"Hell's Bells" by AC/DC starts to play as Max Cameron comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Max looks up into the ring from ringside and sees Shannon Skanes there all set to call this match up. Max sighs and steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes and into the ring. He and Shannon start to have word as his music fades. We then see Wren charging out, not even waiting for her entrance music. Wren begins to sprint to the ring, bat in hand. She slides under the bottom rope and goes right after Max Cameron who manages to bail out of the ring just in the nick of time and Wren slams the bat down onto the spot where Max was standing as Shannon Skanes watches in amusement.

Ricky Simms: Wren wasting absolutely no time in trying to get her hands on Max.

Henry Lesher: I haven't seen somebody move that fast in a long time!

Ricky Simms: Yes, Wren certainly seemed in a hurry to get her hands on Max Cameron.

Henry Lesher: Not her, Max. Did you see him escape from the ring? Talk about fast. HA!

Wren taunts Max to get back in the ring. After a few seconds Wren runs towards the ropes and holding the bat in both hands suicide dives through the ropes and into Max Cameron.

Ricky Simms: Amazing folks, Wren just pulled off a suicide dive through the ropes driving that wooden bat into the face of Max. Had she missed that might have been the match right there and Shannon Skanes is doing nothing to stop this.

Henry Lesher: The match right there? Wren wouldn't get hurt landing on her head. There isn't anything in there. HA HA!

Wren gets to her feet and goes after Max who is also making his way to his feet. Wren drives the bat down across the back of the head of Max. As Max tries to get up again Wren drives the bat down again into his skull. Wren drives a knee down into Max's back and then wraps the bat under the his chin and begins to wrench back hard with both hands. Shannon is conveniantly turned away, not seeing any of this.

Ricky Simms: What a vicious move. She's not only wrenching the back of Max Cameron, but she's choking him as well. If Shannon Skanes doesn't stop this Wren could crush his windpipe.

Henry Lesher: That'd mean no more Max Cameron promos. Don't stop them Mr. Skanes!!

Wren wrenches the move back harder and harder but finally Shannon comes over to the ropes and makes Wren release the hold. Wren releases the move and quickly pulls Max to his feet. Wren steps to the side and using all her weight whips Max into the ring steps. *CLANG* The camera zooms in on Max who rolls over and shows a trickle of blood rolling down his face.

Ricky Simms: It appears Wren had drawn first blood here tonight.

Henry Lesher: I hope it won't be last blood either.

Back in the ring now, Max finally goes on the offensive and hits Wren with a German suplex and then a belly to belly suplex, leaving Wren stunned. Max goes for a brainbuster, but Wren counters it with a punch. Wren goes for a gutwrench suplex, but Max blocks it. Max takes Wren down with a fireman's carry. Max runs into the ropes and almost takes Wren's head off with a lariat. Back on their feet, Wren and Max are exchanging blows in the center of the ring as Shannon just looks on.

Ricky Simms: They are really going at!

Henry Lesher: Punches are really flying out there Wren whips Max into the ropes, but Max reverses it and whips Wren into the ropes. Max catches her with a powerslam.

Ricky Simms: Max sent Wren down hard to the mat and this match is turning into everything we thought it would be.

Max tosses Wren over the top rope out on to the floor. Max climbs out to the outside and grabs a chair and walks over to Wren and swings the chair. **CRACK**! Max nails Wren square in the back of the head with the chair.

Ricky Simms: Max Cameron almost took off Wren's head with that chair shot!

Max waits for Wren to get up and swings the chair again. Max nails Wren right in the face with the chair.

Ricky Simms: Wren is bleeding profusely from the head!

Henry Lesher: Yeah. Cool, isn't it?

Max pulls Wren to her feet then clotheslines her to the ground hard. Max goes under the ring and comes back out with a baseball bat wrapped in barbwire. Shannon looks content to sit back and watch both wrestlers destroy themselves.

Ricky Simms: What is Max going to do with that?

Henry Lesher: Hopefully hit Wren in the face.

Max takes to time to yell at Shannon while Wren makes it to her feet. Max turns around and swings the bat at Wren who ducks and kicks away the bat. Max goes to pick up the bat but Wren connects with a roundhouse kick and Max goes down. Wren picks up the baseball bat as Shannon smiles. Wren nails Max with the bat to the back of the head Simms: Max has been busted wide open here! Wren hits Max with three repeated blows with the bat to the back before she tosses the bat aside

Ricky Simms: Max is a bloody mess!

Henry Lesher: He actually looks better than he used to! Wren drops Max with a DDT.

Ricky Simms: Max went headfirst right on the concrete floor!

Back on his feet, Max picks a chair up. *CRACK, CRACK, CRACK, CRACK, CRACK, CRACK* Max hits Wren with repeated chair shots to the head and back area.

Ricky Simms: My God! Is Wren still alive?!?!

Henry Lesher: I don't even know if she is breathing!

Max pulls out a table from under the ring, sets the table up and then rolls Wren onto the table. Max pulls himself up onto the ring apron and spinning around launches off the apron at Wren but misses when Wren rolls out of the way.

Ricky Simms: Max could have broken Wren's ribs.

Henry Lesher: I don't think we'll be so lucky.

Max gets to his feet and pulls Wren up and begins to make his way around the ring and up the ring steps. At the top of the steps, Wren gives Max a low blow then drops him down onto the steel platform with a piledriver.

Ricky Simms: A piledriver onto the steel steps. Max could be paralyzed for life!

Henry Lesher: Do you have to over exaggerate everything?

As both combatants lay battered and bloodied across the ring steps, exhausted from the terrible battle, Shannon Skanes watches as Wren rolls Max into the ring. Wren goes for the pin on the bloodied Max. 1...2... Max reverses it into a small package. 1...2... Wren kicks out. Max uses the ropes to get to his feet, then starts trading knife edge chops with Wren. We then see Pyro coming out from the back with a frown on his face.

Ricky Simms - This can't be good.

Henry Lesher - Agreed, Pyro isn't really any good.

Pyro rolls himself into he ring while Max and Wren lock up. Pyro shoves Max into the corner buckle and then picks Wren up and choke slams her to the mat. He then gives her an elbow across the throat and then rolls himself out of the ring to the floor. Max then goes for the pin on Wren. 1...2...3! Max gets the win thanks to Pyro.

Ricky Simms - Pyro aiding the win for Max this week.

Henry Lesher - Usually he helps people win by losing to them.

Max rolls himself out of the ring and actually extends a hand to Pyro. Pyro responds with a vicious clothesline on Max and then Pyro starts for the back, both of his future opponents lying broken and bloodied.

Ricky Simms - This is a new Pyro.

Henry Lesher - He had to change something. I mean, it's Pyro.

Tommy is backstage, once again, in his office with an ice pack on his face after a slap from Hoshi – that was meant for Bombshell – hit him instead. The lights dim in the room … and Tommy’s eyes narrow as he adjusts to the slow-growing darkness.

Tommy Purr: Who’s there!? Oh God, this better not be The Boogeyman.

A tall and dark figure arises from the shadows, as if pushed up from the floor directly behind Tommy’s chair where he sits behind his desk. The figure is of Mordecai Darius. Tommy turns to see him and is startled as Darius raises a finger to his own lips.

Mordecai: There’s no sense in calling for help … I’ll be brief … and I have no intention of hurting you, yet.

Tommy Purr: What the hell do you want, Malachy?

Mordecai: The name is Mordecai.

Tommy Purr: Whatever … what’s your glitch?

Mordecai: *Chuckling softly* I am not here to cause problems, Thomas … I am simply here to help you. To save you.

Tommy Purr: I don’t need any saving … now if you don’t mi-

Tommy goes to stand up, but Darius reaches out with one hand, clamping it tightly around Tommy’s neck and then pushing him down into his seat again. Mordecai digs his fingernails into Tommy’s Adam’s apple, making it difficult for him to breathe. Darius speaks out in a booming voice.

Mordecai: You foolish … FOOLISH … child. I open up my mind, body, and soul to channel the power of Christ through you, and you treat me with such disrespect.

Tommy Purr: *Gasping for air*

Mordecai: You are probably finding it harder to breathe … don’t worry, I won’t kill you. You have far too much potential as a member of my clergy for me to remove from the Lord’s planet. I want to save you Thomas … I want to cleanse your soul of all of the evils and the corruption you’ve taken on. I can smell the sin on you, it is so repugnant. You have lived a frivolous life … a life devoid of the presence of God or the proper faith … a life that is leading you on the path to eternal damnation. Your “love” for Daniel McCoy is not “love” … it’s perversion … it’s unnatural … it’s wrong. You need proper guidance, and I’m here to see to it that you repent for your sins. Repent, Thomas … repent … before it is too late.

In an instant, the lights flicker out all the way in the office. When the lights return, Mordecai has disappeared and Tommy is gasping and choking for breath as he looks around bewildered.

Trinity Holmes vs. De'Anton Maybon

"Creep" by Radiohead plays as Maybon comes out alone tonight for a change. He has both tag title belts over his shoulder and tells the camera that Kingston will pay for this before he then finishes making his way to the ring. He pulls himself up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes and into the ring. He then paces inside the ring, the tag belts left in the corner while he awaits his opponent for tonight. "Stand Up" by Trapt then starts to play as Trinity Holmnes emerges from the back, Bullrush at her side and the two make their way, arm in arm, towards the ring. The crowd gives them the loudest boos of the night, high praise for this duo to get under the skin of such a large number of people so quickly. Trinity stops at ringside and scowls at Maybon inside the ring. Maybon just looks out at her and smiles. Trinity pulls herself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Referee Casey Braun calls for the bell and the action is underway.

Ricky Simms - This should be an interesting match up.

Henry Lesher - Well, considering the injuries and exits we've been seeing tonight, it'll be fantastic if someone hasn't been killed or retired by the closing bell.

Trinity moves in for a lock up with Maybon only to duck and then she pulls the feet out from under Maybon and then goes for a crossface chicken wing only to have Maybon grab the ropes and quickly get to his feet. He turns and shoves Trinity down to the mat and then puts the boots to her. Maybon then stands Trinity up, whips her off the ropes and she leap frogs Maybon and then dropkicks him in the back, sending him right through the ropes and out to the floor. Trinity then goes to the ropes, climbs to the top and dives off for a flying cross body. Maybon catches her in mid air and then runs her into the steel corner post, wrapping her back around it before dropping her in a heap at ringside. Maybon then rolls himself into the ring to break up the count and then rolls himself back out.

Ricky Simms - Maybon is dissecting Trinity here.

Henry Lesher - He's showing her the same respect tonight he did in that promo I taped earlier this week.

Ricky Simms - Well, anyone who hangs around Parker Davis is bound to be a jerk.

Maybon grabs Trinity by the hair and pulls her to her feet. Trinity thumbs Maybon in the eye and then gives him a drop toe that sends him face first to the ring steps. Trinity then climbs onto the apron and gives Maybon a leg drop across the back of the neck. Trinity then rolls herself into the ring. Bullrush is seen applauding at ringside and then he starts making his way towards Maybon only to have referee Casey Braun take notice. Maybon gets to his feet and pulls himself onto the apron only to take a dropkick from Trinity that sends him back to the floor. Maybon stumbles and his face bounces off the guard railing.

Ricky Simms - Maybon doesn't even try to protect his face in those instances.

Henry Lesher - He has a blatant disregard for his looks. I noticed that myself.

Trinity waits for Maybon to stand and then leaps onto the top rope, launches herself and gives Maybon a flying head scissors that brings him down to the floor while Bullrush is again shown applauding. He tells the camera that this match is no contest. Trinity then stands Maybon up and rolls him into the ring before rolling herself in as well. Trinity goes for the pin on Maybon. 1...2... kick out by Maybon. Trinity slaps the mat and has a few words with Casey Braun. Trinity then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top. Maybon gets to his feet and turns. Trinity launches herself for a missile dropkick, but Maybon manages to grab her feet and then airplane spins her before slamming her down hard on her back. Maybon then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Trinity Holmes.

Ricky Simms - Nice show of strength there by Maybon.

Henry Lesher - Vesuvius and his team backstage want Trinity and Bullrush to square off for that CWA title. They want bragging rights over Shannon's very own Alpha title.

Ricky Simms - Clearly most will take issue with that.

Henry Lesher - They can try.

Maybon stands Trinity up, whips her off the ropes and clotheslines her down to the mat and then gives her a knee drop to the head and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Trinity. Maybon then stands her up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. Bullrush quickly makes his way over to her and attends to her while Maybon stands on the bottom rope and shouts at Bullrush. Bullrush turns and Maybon spits in his face. Bullrush jumps onto the apron and Maybon tells him to hit him.

Ricky Simms - Maybon knows damn well if Trinity takes the DQ, he moves on to the semis.

Henry Lesher - Smart kid.

Trinity gets to her feet and then rolls herself into the ring while Maybon continues to challenge Bullrush. Trinity then jumps on Maybon's back and applies a sleeperhold, his mouth hidden from view. He fades quickly and falls to his knees, his eyes closing. Referee Casey Braun checks on him and then calls for the bell. Trinity rolls herself out of the ring, placing a cloth into the top of her outfit while winking at the camera.

Ricky Simms - Trinity used chloroform!

Henry Lesher - That shows initiative. That takes her to the semis and Maybon gets a chance for a nice nap.

Ricky Simms - Maybon will be pissed.

Henry Lesher - And out of the tournament.

Backstage, Tommy approaches his office door and sees the contract still there. Tommy notices someone has signed up and takes the contract off the door and looks at it. Tommy’s face drops when he notices that it’s his signature.

Tommy Purr: But, how … why …

Phil Castle appears behind Tommy

Phil Castle: Oh, you don’t remember? You signed that when you were trying to separate Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum.

Tommy Purr: You said it was for “Tommy Time”!

Phil Castle: Well, I guess I lied.

Tommy Purr: You bastard!

Phil Castle: If you had let me in on the scheduling for this Pay-Per-View instead of hogging all the authority, I wouldn’t have done this to you.

Tommy Purr: It’s not bad enough that Gerry gets an A.W. World Title shot … but you trick me into signing up for my own WAR GAMES Match? Touche.

Phil Castle: I knew you wouldn’t be angry for long.

Tommy Purr: Oh, trust me, Phil, I’m plenty angry … but now … I’m going to make it my mission to see to it that YOU have your own little contest at “BiTCHSLAP!”

Phil Castle: I’m the General Manager, you can’t just toss me into matches.

Tommy Purr: Oh, don’t worry Sunshine, it’s not a match … you’ll be taking part in the first-ever “30 Seconds of Boom” Contest … if you can survive 30 seconds in a confined area watching television monitors playing nothing but past Boomshalkalaka promos, then you’ll prove to me what a real bad ass you are.

Phil Castle: Touche, Tommy … touché. You’re one sadistic dude, you know that?

Tommy Purr: I prefer the term “intelligently twisted” thank you very much. *Waving the contract around* THIS just might come in handy …

Tommy walks into his office as Phil marches off in the other direction.

Myst vs Nameless

"Pain Redefined" by Disturbed plays as Nameless makes his way towards the ring, his head down as Emily Blackstone leads him along the way. We then see Dante in the crowd, a few rows back from the front. He pays the camera no mind while the crowd cheers upon seeing the old CWA legend.

Henry Lesher - He's here! He's here!

Ricky Simms - Yes, we can see that. Settle down.

Nameless stops at ringside and looks out and spots Dante. He stops for a moment and then turns away and pulls himself up onto the apron. We then see Adam Lewis rushing out from the back and towards the ring himself. He looks out at Dante and shouts at security to get him out of here. Dante shakes his head and gives Adam the finger. Adam has a few words for Emily Blackstone and she just shrugs, anxious to stay out of all of this. Nameless enters the ring and appears to care little for what is going on outside the ring. His music fades and then we hear "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park and the crowd cheers as Myst appears from backstage and starts towards the ring. She wastes no time in reaching ringside and looking out towards Dante. She orders security to get him out of here and they begin escorting Dante, who doesn't appear to be very impressed with this.

Henry Lesher - Who is she to send Dante away?

Ricky Simms - She is the owner's wife.

Henry Lesher - Like anyone gives a damn.

Myst then turns and pulls herself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. She looks back out and sees Adam Lewis smiling at her and she shakes her head. The bell sounds and they move in for the lock up. Myst ducks it and gives Nameless a shoulder to the ribs and then she headlocks him and goes for a bulldog only to have Nameless pick her up and give her a fall away slam before he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Myst. Nameless then gets to his feet and stands over Myst for a few moments before he grabs her by the hair and pulls her to her feet. He gives her a whip off the ropes and then a big boot to the face that sends her back down to the mat before he goes for the pin again. 1...2... Myst rolls a shoulder out.

Ricky Simms - Nameless looking dominant so far, but Myst won't give up.

Henry Lesher - If she was smart, she would.

Nameless pulls Myst to her feet and whips her into the corner buckle. He then charges in for a shoulder block, but she side steps it and then rams Nameless' head into the corner buckle ten times while the crowd counts them off, then she clotheslines Nameless down to the mat while Adam Lewis is seen shaking his head at ringside. Myst then climbs the ropes in the corner and lands a five star frog splash onto Nameless before she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Nameless.

Ricky Simms - I thought she had him there.

Henry Lesher - Shows what you know.

Myst then pulls Nameless to his feet and then tosses him through the ropes and out to the floor. Myst then rolls herself out of the ring and to the floor. She is headed off by Adam Lewis and he shoves her. Referee Steve Blake warns Adam against that and Adam nods, then turns and rears back as if to slap Myst. He then simply smiles. Myst slaps him across the face. We then see Shannon Skanes rushing out of the back as Nameless clotheslines Myst once Adam Lewis has stepped aside. Shannon slams a chair across the skull of Nameless and then does the same to Adam Lewis while referee Steve Blake calls for the bell. Shannon then stands his wife up and rolls her into the ring, then signals to Kosmic Kitty that he wants the microphone.

Shannon Skanes - So this is how the game is going to be played again? Nameless, you want to make a name for yourself against my wife? Dante wants to destroy my family? June 3rd, my wife and I give Dante and Rated R their chance to take us down. Nameless, I can fight you any week you're free, my friend.

Shannon tosses the microphone back to Kosmic Kitty who announces that Nameless won via DQ. Shannon and Myst head for the back while Nameless gets to his feet and then stands staring blankly towards the CWA owners. There's no emotion there, no fear and no respect. We then look backstage and see Chastity Stills with Bullrush.

Chastity Stills - Bullrush, your woman made you two 1-0 tonight. What's your strategy against Krayne?

Bullrush - Trinity dominated just like we knew she would. I will dominate. You need a strategy if you have a weakness. I don't have one.

Chastity Stills - Maybon took the fall against Trinity there and you helped it happen. Are you worried about him exacting revenge here?

Bullrush - *smiles* I don't need a strategy, so I certainly don't need to worry. Maybon is a loser. Maybon is gone, out cold, lost to Trinity. All I have to do is defeat that loud mouth Krayne and I'm all set.

Chastity Stills - Anything to say to Krayne right now?

Bullrush - Yeah, he might have made it further, but he is against the truw wall of wrestling. He can't scale it. He can't knock it down. It's over before he tries.

Sal Clemenzo vs. The Moose

"Halls of Fear" by Nino Rota plays as Sal Clemenzo comes out to a solid reaction from the crowd. He is led by Guido and Serena Marcelli towards the ring. He stops and kisses Serena on the cheek before he steps up onto the apron, Guido standing behind Serena as Sal steps through the ropes and into the ring. His music then fades and we hear "I Feel Alright" by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. Moose comes out to one of the loudest ovations of the night. Moose quickly makes his way down the aisle to the ring and pulls himself onto the apron. He steps into the ring and the bell sounds as Sal and Moose start trading rights and lefts. Moose lands a knife edge chop on Sal and Sal answers with one of his own. Sal whips Moose off the ropes and both men clothesline each other to the mat. They then both kip up to their feet and nod.

Ricky Simms - These two matching each other move for move here.

Henry Lesher - This should be good and violent, so you can shut up now.

Sal and Moose lock up. Sal backs Moose into the corner and referee Francis Clarke asks for a clean break. Sal backs off and Moose shoves him. Sal gives him a forearm to the jaw and then a hip toss to the middle of the ring. Sal then applies an arm bar which Moose quickly reverses and then gives Sal a headlock he turns into a vertical suplex to the mat. Moose then gets to his feet and leg drops Sal across the throat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Sal. Moose then stands Sal up, whips him off the ropes and then dropkicks him down to the mat. Moose then goes to the second rope and lands a knee to the ribs on Sal from there. Moose then picks Sal up and gives him a fallaway slam to the mat before going for the pin again. 1...2... kick out by Sal Clemenzo and Moose shakes his head.

Ricky Simms - Moose in full control, but is unable to get the three count yet.

Henry Lesher - It doesn't count for anything without the three count.

Moose whips Sal into the corner buckle and then misses with a shoulder block as Sal steps out of the way. Sal then gives Moose a head butt and then an arm drag to the middle of the ring. Sal then applies a full Nelson on Moose and referee Francis Clarke checks for a submission. Moose refuses to give up as Sal tries to lock his fingers behind Moose's head. Moose reaches for the ropes as Sal struggles to hold Moose still. Moose lunges towards the ropes and manages to grab them, forcing the break. Moose then pulls himself out of the ring and to the floor. Moose is joined by Sal as he, too, rolls out of the ring. They then start trading punches on the floor.

Ricky Simms - Sal's match last week ended with a double count out. Is history about to repeat itself?

Henry Lesher - Oh let them fight it out.

Sal slams Moose's head into the apron and then rolls himself into the ring. Moose rolls himself in right after and then they start trading punches again. Moose eye gouges Sal. Sal knee lifts Moose in the ribs, then gives him a series of forearm smashes to the jaw. Sal then gives Moose a drop toe face first into the corner buckle and then gives him a back slide into a pin attempt. 1...2... Moose rolls a shoulder out in time.

Ricky Simms - Close call there for Sal.

Henry Lesher - Enough. I already explained those don't matter.

Sal stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and then Moose ducks a clothesline and gives Sal a German suplex to the mat and holds him for the pin. 1...2... Sal rolls out and then gets to his feet and gives Moose a kick to the stomach and then picks him up for a tilt a whirl back breaker. Sal then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Sal stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and Moose ducks a clothesline and then misses with a clothesline of his own as Sal ducks it. Moose then knees Sal in the face, picks him up and goes for a Moosedriver, but Sal manages to grab the ropes and clumsily pulls himself out of the ring to the floor. Moose follows behind and stands Sal up only to take a jaw breaker from Sal who then rams Moose's head into the steel steps before he rolls himself back into the ring. Moose then rolls himself into the ring and takes a bulldog to the mat from Sal who then quickly jumps to the top rope.Sal then executes a shooting star press onto Moose and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Sal Clemenzo gets the win this week over Moose.

Ricky Simms - Sal moves on to the semis.

Henry Lesher - I must admit, that was a fun one to watch.

As Sal leaves the ring, we see Wren SilverPhoenix leaving the arena. She opens the back door and comes face to face with Pyro. She manages a nervous smile.

Wren SilverPhoenix - Hey, no hard feelings about earlier, okay? I mean, it all evened out and...

She ducks a clothesline attempt by Pyro and then races towards her car. She slides across the hood and quickly opens the door and steps in. As the motor springs to life, Pyro punches the windshield and it cracks. The car then peels out of the parking lot and Pyro starts back towards the building. We then see Max Cameron standing in the doorway.

Max Cameron - Pyro, you got me this week. Next week.... payback is a bitch.

Pyro - *smiles* See you soon Max.

Pyro then turns away from Max and Max himself then heads back into the building.

Bullrush vs Krayne

"Vinegar Stroke" by Sunk Loto plays as Steffen Krayne starts out towards the ring only to be attacked from behind by Bullrush. Bullrush gives Krayne a series of double axe handle smashes across the back, then tosses him over the guard railing and into the front row of the crowd while Trinity appears from the back.

Ricky Simms - The gruesome twosome are looking to become two for two tonight.

Henry Lesher - If they meet each other in the finals, that means that Vesuvius wins. Despite Simon's exit from the company, Vesuvius would still rule the CWA and AW once Gerry has taken Rated R out.

Bullrush steps over the railing and starts putting the boots to Krayne. Bullrush rams Krayne's face into a nearby chair and then dumps him back over the railing to ringside. Bullrush leaps over the railing, grabs an audio cord and starts whipping Krayne with it while Trinity looks on nearby and smiles. Bullrush then starts choking Krayne with the audio cable and Trinity comes over and slaps Krayne across the face. She then spits on him before she backs off. Bullrush then releases the choke and whips Krayne shoulder first into the nearby corner post before he then turns Krayne around, picks him up and gives him a scoop slam onto the floor.

Ricky Simms - This is little more than a mugging by Bullrush here.

Henry Lesher - It's winning me over to the guy.

Bullrush then steps onto the chest of Krayne and stands there for a few seconds before stepping off. Referee Joe Davidson is screaming at Bullrush to get into the ring or this match will be called off. Bullrush stands Krayne up and gives him an inverted atomic drop. Krayne then finds the energy to clothesline Bullrush down to the floor. Krayne then turns to Trinity and points a finger at her and advances on her while Bullrush gets to his feet.

Ricky Simms - I believe Krayne just challenged Trinity for next week.

Henry Lesher - He's assuming he'll defeat Bullrush? He's a cocky one indeed.

Bullrush tries for a clothesline on Krayne, but Krayne ducks it and Bullrush wraps his shoulder aorund the corner post while Krayne rolls himself into the ring. Bullrush pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes and the bell finally sounds with Krayne giving Bullrush a series of knee lifts to the ribs. Krayne then whips Bullrush off the ropes and gives him a spear to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Bullrush kicks out. Krayne then stands Bullrush up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a handspring back elbow before delivers a reverse neck breaker. Krayne again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Bullrush.

Ricky Simms - This Krayne really has impressed the hell out of me since his arrival.

Henry Lesher - That doesn't mean anything.

Krayne stands Bullrush up, whips him off the ropes and Bullrush ducks a clothesline and then he gives Krayne a knee to the back followed by an inverted DDT. Bullrush then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Krayne and Trinity is seen shaking her head at ringside and pleading for a faster count. The referee tells her to be quiet or she'll be banished from ringside. Bullrush stands Krayne up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a knee to the gut that sends him somersaulting through the air. Bullrush then applies a sleeper on Krayne. The crowd starts a chant for Krayne that Trinity shouts at them to stop.

Ricky Simms - The fans aren't likely to listen to her.

Henry Lesher - They'll learn.

Krayne appears to be fading in the sleeper and referee Joe Davidson checks on him. He raises Krayne's arm once and it falls. He raises it a second time and it falls. He raises it a third time, but Krayne manages to keep it raised. Krayne gets to his feet quickly as Bullrush seems lost as to what to do with him now. Krayne elbows Bullrush in the ribs repeatedly to break the hold, then goves him a fall away slam to the mat. Krayne then stands Bullrush up and gives him the Off the Hook into a pin. 1...2...3! Krayne scores what has to be considered an upset win over Bullrush. Krayne then rolls himself out of the ring and points at Trinity, telling her next week she will suffer the same fate.

Ricky Simms - Krayne with the upset win here over the much decorated Bullrush!

Henry Lesher - Well, he's not flying below the radar anymore, so he's on his way down.

Krayne heads for the back while Trinity rolls herself into the ring and helps Bullrush up.

Ricky Simms - That brings this week to an end. Tune in next week for another edition of Insurgence!

We fade to black on a shot of Krayne high fiving fans while he finishes his walk to the dressing room.
