Shannon Skanes - What are you doing here? Ricky Simms - You know, when I took a stand for Parker Davis, I knew you would find a replacement, but replacing me with Vig threw me. Shannon Skanes - Yeah, you quit, right? Ricky Simms - Now I come back here and you're suddenly wrestling again? The thing that gets me is, CWA legends like you and me have a lousy record in AW, even worse than we did in the GWO. Max will beat you tonight and the streak will continue. There's no way in hell you retire him. Shannon Skanes - And if I do? I mean, it sure sounds like you want to wager on this. Ricky Simms - No, you're not worth my time. This company isn't worth my time. See you around.... when you realize there is no beating these guys. You're just destroying your place in this business and those idiot fans will love watching you fall. I never got a single letter, card or e-mail since I left AW. No one gives a damn. Shannon Skanes - It sounds to me like they don't give a damn about you. Listening to the drivel you're spouting, I can hardly blame them. See you around, Rick. Simms shakes his head and then makes his way
out of the locker room, Shannon then continuing his work out. Southtown" by POD plays as 6Pac Dudley comes out to the cheers of the crowd, but he is quickly attacked from behind by Slim Pickens and the referee calls for the bell, the Xtreme title match now underway. Slim tosses 6Pac off the ramp and into the aisle next to the guard railing, then lands a leg drop across the chest on 6Pac from there and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim as referee Mark Davis has rushed in to call this mess of a match. Slim stands 6Pac up and pulls him down to ringside, then slams his face into the steel ring steps. Slim then lifts the apron and hunts for the perfect weapon to use here and settles on a Singapore cane. He pulls it out from under the ring with a sadistic smile on his face and then slams it onto the steps as 6Pac moves out of the way. 6Pac then lands a series of knee lifts on Slim, then pulls the cane from his hands and uses it to clothesline Slim to the floor. He then kneels on Slim's chest and chokes him with the cane. Slim uses a modified monkey flip to get him off and then crawls underneath the ring. 6Pac quickly gets to his feet and grabs Slim's feet as he disappears under the ring, pulls him out and takes a head shot from a trash can lid. Vigilante - This is a hell of a way to open a show. Henry Lesher - If you say so. This was the night I was supposed to tear that idiot Surgeon to pieces and AW refuses to insure the match? They haven't heard the last from me on this. Vigilante - You were going to get destroyed. Henry Lesher - BasketKase is the superior specimen and Orlock would have been destroyed. Slim gets to his feet and readies for another head shot with the trash can lid, but 6Pac gives him a low blow with the cane. 6Pac then spears him against the steel corner post. 6Pac follows that up with a DDT onto the floor and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Slim rolls a shoulder out. 6Pac shakes his head as he stands Slim up and throws him shoulder first into the steel corner steps. 6Pac then pulls out a table and starts setting it up on the floor. That completed, he then turns his attention back to Slim. Slim eye gouges 6Pac and then knees him in the gut. He sets him for a power bomb, but 6Pac lands a series of punches to the face on Slim and then causes Slim to drop 6Pac to the floor instead of through the table. 6Pac then sweeps the feet out from under Slim. 6Pac then gets to his feet and signals to the crowd and then picks Slim up and body slams him onto the table. 6Pac then climbs onto the apron, makes his way to the top rope and then lands a somersault leg drop across the throat of Slim, sending him through the table and to the floor where 6Pac goes for the pin. 1...2...3! 6Pac retains the title! Vigilante - That was a convincing end to that match. Henry Lesher - It convinced me that Slim's getting worse. Is that the best AW could come up with to challenge for a belt tonight?
Crystal Braun - Gerard, tonight you try to win back your AW title in a match against Tommy Purr which is set to go thirty minutes. Your thoughts? Gerard Angelo - I am tired of being pushed to the back again. I am tired of people talking about how I can't hold a title more than four weeks. I'm going to tear Tommy apart and pin him over and over again. I'll make my point. Crystal Braun - Can you give us your guess what the final score will be? Gerard Angelo - I'll pin him five times. He won't pin me once. Like I said, I have something to prove. I will prove it at Tommy's expense. Gerard moves along and Crystal looks at the camera and smiles before we head back to the ring.
"The Beat of My Heart" by Hilary Duff plays as Reyna Preciosa comes out to make her AW debut. The crowd gives her a decent reaction for a first time wrestler, some of the males shooting her whistles and cat calls. She quickly makes her way to ringside, then leaps onto the apron and then leaps over the top rope into the ring. She looks nervous, this being her debut match and all. Reyna tests the ropes and looks around at the crowd, taking a few deep breaths while her music fades away. "Survival of the Sickest" by Saliva then begins to play and Halloween Jack starts to make his way towards the ring. The crowd greets him with a chorus of boos and he feigns being hurt by this. Halloween Jack then looks into the ring at Reyna and smiles. He tells the camera that this girl isn't in Tijuana anymore. Vigilante - Halloween Jack, a gentleman as usual here. Henry Lesher - He's as reliable as Jeff Hardy and as healthy as Steve Austin. Vigilante - You're a bastard. Henry Lesher - True. Halloween Jack pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring and he offers to shake hands with his opponent. The crowd boos him and he looks hurt again. Reyna looks to the crowd and then reaches out her hand as if to shake hands with Jack, but instead she gives him a kick to the gut that sends him backwards through the ropes and out to the floor as referee Steve Blake calls for the bell to start the match. Reyna looks surprised as if she had expected the kick to send him down, but not out of the ring to the floor. Jack gets to his feet quickly and looks unimpressed. He rolls himself into the ring and takes a knee to the chest from Reyna who knows she is in trouble if Jack gets to his feet. She then quickly turns Jack over and applies a Boston Crab on Jack. Jack reaches out and manages to snag the bottom rope to force the break. Reyna hesitates to break the hold for a moment, but relents and Jack this time pulls himself out of the ring to the floor on his own volition. Vigilante - This girl is better than Jack expected. Henry Lesher - Well, most of the women on this roster do suck, so can you blame him for being surprised? Jack waits a five count on the floor and appears to be talking to himself, then he pulls himself onto the apron and steps back into the ring. He moves in with Reyna for a lock up, but instead knees her in the gut and then gives her a series of forearm smashes to the jaw that send her into the corner, then gives her a hip toss to the center of the ring. Jack's cocky grin crosses his face again and he nods. He then picks Reyna up and gives her a power slam to the mat and then covers her with one hand on her forehead. 1...2... Reyna kicks out. Halloween Jack questions the speed of the referee's count. Jack shakes his head, stands Reyna up and whips her into the corner buckle before giving her a knee to the gut and then he gives her a gut wrench suplex to the mat where he tries for the pin again, this time hooking the leg. 1...2... kick out by Reyna and Jack slaps the mat in frustration. Vigilante - Jack is clearly getting mad at his inability to close the deal here. Henry Lesher - It's a girl's first wrestling match. This is an embarrassment for Jack in every way. Jack stands Reyna up and takes a jawbreaker from the rookie. She then comes off the ropes and lands a lariat on Jack that brings him down to the mat before she goes for the pin. 1...2.... kick out by Jack who again rolls himself out of the ring to collect himself. Reyna opts to follow him out this time. She stands Jack up and whips him into the guard railing, feeding on the positive reaction from the crowd. She then stands Jack up and takes a punch to the throat. Jack then slams her face first into the guard railing twice before he picks her up over his shoulder and runs her into the steel corner post. Vigilante - That's overkill. Henry Lesher - At its finest. Teach her to stay out of your business, Jack. Halloween Jack then climbs the ring steps onto the apron and then lands a leg drop across the back of the neck of the rookie Reyna while the crowd chants for her in vain. The referee reaches the ten count and calls for the bell. Vigilante - It's a double count out. The girl gets herself a draw in her first week! Henry Lesher - Yeah, and won herself a free ride to the local hospital. Halloween Jack grabs himself a steel folding chair and smiles as he looks down on her. The crowd then cheers as they see Vesuvius rushing out from the crowd with an extension cord in his hands. He leaps over the railing behind Jack and starts strangling him with it while the crowd cheers. Henry Lesher - I thought he quit. Vigilante - Since when does he care about what happens to a rookie girl? Vesuvius takes the microphone from ring announcer Kosmic Kitty. Vesuvius - Jack, you failed me time and time again. I blame you for the fact I don't own this company anymore. Next week, see you at Insurgence. You want to send a message? Send it through me... if you've got the guts. Vesuvius ties the extension cord to the middle rope and hangs Jack there while he chokes for breath. Vesuvius then heads back into the crowd while security rushes out to free Jack before he is choked further. Reyna is down at ringside and looks worse for wear after her first experience inside an AW ring. Vigilante - Looks like Vesuvius hasn't forgotten Jack. Henry Lesher - That's an understatement.
Rated R - What do you want? Ray Dees - We could ask the same of you, Ryan. You've been very critical of this company for over a month now. People want to know what you want. Rated R - Well, world peace and enough food for the world would be great, but those aren't going to happen. I guess what I want is my business. Ray Dees - Rumor has it that your AW contract runs out at the end of August. Can you confirm that? Rated R - I'm not confirming anything. Go ask that weasel Wyatt or the spoon fed Noah about it. Ray Dees - Where is all of this bitterness coming from? Rated R - *slams Ray against the wall and holds a forearm across his throat* Do you see a title belt over my shoulder? No, no you don't! Gerard Angelo stole it months ago and have I had a match for it yet? No, that hasn't happened! Tonight I am facing Freak! Gerard and Tommy are fighting to be world champ as are Moose and that idiot Krayne! People want me to play nice! People want me to wait my turn! I keep hearing in the dressing room about needing to be a team player! I am not a team player! I am Ryan Yorke! I know there isn't a damned person in that locker room looking out for me, so why would I look out for them? It's my damned title, Ray! I want my belt back and I am going to do whatever it takes to get the attention of the idiots in charge! *smiles* When tonight is over, Rated R will be the one everyone is talking about again. That's how it should be, Ray. That truth is the only thing stopping me from snapping your weasel neck right now. Thank me for not snapping your neck. Ray Dees - *coughs* Thank... thank you.... Rated R - Who's your favorite wrestler Raymond? Ray Dees - Rated.... Rated R.... Ryan finally releases Ray and smiles as Ray falls to his knees and coughs and spits on the floor. Rated R - That's right. On your knees around me Raymond. Rated R walks away while Ray tries to catch his breath.
Vigilante - It could all end here for Max. Good riddance. Henry Lesher - I think Shannon will choke again. I can't see this being the end of Max. The bell sounds and the two of them lock up in the middle of the ring. They then shoves each other backwards. Max then gives Shannon a knife edge chop to the chest. Shannon gives Max a knife edge chop to the chest. Max gives Shannon a knife edge chop to the chest again. Shannon gives Max a head butt that sends him back into the corner buckle. Shannon then gives Max a series of shoulder blocks in the corner. Shannon then sets Max for a vertical suplex, but Max blocks it. Max then gives Shannon a series of punches to the gut and then gives him a spear to the mat before going for the pin. 1....2... kick out by Shannon. Max then stands Shannon up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of knee lifts before giving him a double under hook suplex to the mat where Max again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Vigilante - Max really wants this. Henry Lesher - Well, it is his career on the line. Max stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick to the mat. Max then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top while the crowd starts a chant for the former AW owner. Max leaps off for a flying elbow smash, but Shannon rolls out of the way at the last possible moment. Shannon then kips up to his feet. Shannon then puts the boots to Max. Shannon stands Max up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a spinning heel kick to the mat. Shannon then lands a lion sault on Max Cameron and goes for the pin. 1...2.... kick out by Max. Shannon shakes his head as he stands Max up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a vertical suplex to the mat from there, then stands him up and gives him a second, stands him up again and gives him a third vertical suplex to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2.... Max rolls a shoulder out. Vigilante - I thought he had Max there. Henry Lesher - Max and Shannon both lack finish, so this could go on for awhile. Shannon stands Max up, whips him off the ropes and both men clothesline each other to the mat. Referee Francis Clarke starts counting them both down. The crowd starts another chant for Shannon. On the four count, Max does a kip up to his feet. On the five count, Shannon does the same and then winks at Max. The two of them then start trading punches in the middle of the ring. Max and Shannon then start trading knife edge chops again. Max then clotheslines Shannon right over the top rope and out to the floor. Shannon lands on his feet, but Max knocks him down with a baseball slide. Max then rams Shannon's head into the guard railing and then slaps him across the face. Shannon responds by pulling the feet out from under Max and then gives him a series of punches to the face. Shannon then grabs Max around the throat and stands him up and looks set for a choke slam? Max thumbs Shannon in the eye and then gives him a DDT to the floor. Vigilante - This is turning as ugly as we expected. Henry Lesher - It's almost entertaining me, which is more than I can say for the first two matches tonight. Max stands Shannon up and rolls him into the ring, then rolls himself into the ring barely in time to beat the referee's count. Max then picks Shannon up over his shoulder and runs him face first into the corner while we see Myst rushing down the ramp. Max spots her and rolls himself out of the ring to the floor. Referee Francis Clarke has a few words for her, but Shannon then grabs Francis' foot and looks to be indicating his ribs are badly hurt. Myst slaps Max in the face outside the ring and ducks a clothesline and then Myst slams his face into the steel corner steps and then she headlocks him and gives him a modified springboard bulldog, using the steps and driving him face first into the floor while Shannon continues to distract Francis Clarke. Myst stands Max up and rolls him into the ring. Shannon stands up and indicates that he will be okay after all and Francis sees Max motionless inside the ring. He looks for Myst, but she is nowhere to be found. She's actually crouching next to the ring. Vigilante - Brian Pillman would be proud. They're Canadians all right. Henry Lesher - What the hell are you talking about? Shannon stands max up, gives him a slingshot suplex into a small packs and the referee counts the pin. 1...2...3! Shannon Skanes wins and Max has been retired! Vigilante - Husband and wife team up to rid this company of Max and that's poetic justice for anyone who has watched this fight over the past three years. Max involved the whole Skanes family and now he has paid the price for overstepping his bounds. Henry Lesher - Oh, it's not like he boiled their rabbit in a pot or anything. They made their money on him. Shannon exits the ring and embraces Myst and the two of them head for the back while the crowd cheers.
Crystal Braun - Wyatt, what's going on tonight? Wyatt Gibson - Well, as we had planned, three teams of women were going to face off inside that ring. Instead, it didn't happen. It has come to my attention that the Glamour Girls, with the exception of Kathy Smith, have left AW. Crystal Braun - And me and my sister lose our chance to rid the company of them.... but what about the Parizis? Wyatt Gibson - I had talks with them earlier today. Next week, they will make an open challenge for a tag match. I guess they want their return to the ring to be a grand one or something. Crystal Braun - When did Lydia wrestle? Wyatt Gibson - Who knows? I have a hard time keeping track of all of it. Crystal Braun - What about rumors that they have Steve Hawkins as their manager? Wyatt Gibson - Well, I mean honestly Steve has been a road agent for us and I can't see that. He makes surprise appearances here and there, but I can't see that happening. Crystal Braun - But you can't say that won't happen. Wyatt Gibson - Nothing is impossible in this company.
"Suffocating Sight" by Trivium plays as Freak, Himself comes out to a decent pop from the crowd. He stands on the stage for a few moments while his music plays and looks around at the crowd. He then makes his way down the ramp with Harmony Fallacia close behind him, carrying the tag team titles on her shoulder. She then takes her place at ringside while Freak rolls himself into the ring. Freak then climbs to the second rope and poses there for the fans before he jumps back down while his music fades. We then hear the opening chords of "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out to the loudest boos of the night, wearing his BLPW T-shirt and handing out Epic programs to the fans. He stops at ringside and looks at Harmony and gives her a warning to stay out of this. He then makes his way up the ring steps and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Referee Joe Davidson calls for the bell and the match is begun. Freak and Rated R lock up. Rated R gives Freak knee to the gut and then a head butt followed by an eye gouge. Rated R then rakes Freak's eyes along the top rope. Vigilante - This is a rematch between Freak and Rated R. Uprising settled nothing between them. Henry Lesher - Ryan has something to settle with this entire company. Rated R picks Freak up and slams him down to the mat. Rated R then boot chokes Freak until a four count by referee Steve Blake. Rated R then stands Freak up and whips him off the ropes. Freak ducks a clothesline and then gives Rated R a series of knees to the gut and then gives him an atomic drop and then a German suplex to the mat where he holds his shoulders down in a bridge position. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Freak then quickly gets to his feet, stands Rated R up and whips him into the corner buckle. Freak charges in for a shoulder block, but instead takes raised knees from Ryan to the chest. Rated R then climbs to the second rope and gives Freak a clothesline from there and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Freak. Rated R then chokes Freak while referee Joe Davidson threatens to disqualify Ryan. Rated R releases the choke and then lunges at the referee, but thinks better of it and turns his attention back to Freak. Vigilante - Rated R looks to be in a bad mood tonight. Henry Lesher - Yes, because AW has screwed him over repeatedly in the past few months. Who can blame him? Rated R stands Freak up and then whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Rated R then drops and rolls himself out of the ring and comes face to face with Harmony. Rated R shakes his head and has a few words for her and then gives her a thundering clothesline down to the floor. Freak gets to his feet, sees Harmony is down and snaps. He headlocks Rated R and gives him a bulldog to the floor, then stands him up and slams his face into the steel ring steps five times before rolling him into the ring and then rolling himself into the ring. Freak places Rated R's neck over the bottom rope and then chokes him with it. Freak then stands Rated R up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a backdrop to the middle of the ring. Freak then leans against the ropes and seems to be having an internal conflict over the level of violence he just used. Vigilante - Freak seems to have upset himself with those tactics. Henry Lesher - He's not a man then. Freak appears to be talking to himself and then stands Rated R up. Freak whips Rated R into the corner buckle and then misses with a shoulder block when Rated R side steps it. Rated R then rolls Freak into a school boy pin attempt, complete with feet on the ropes for added leverage. 1...2...3! Rated R gets the win over Freak! He then rolls himself out of the ring, gives Harmony a knee lift to the face and then clotheslines her out into the crowd before he heads up the ramp towards the back. Vigilante - A cheap win for Rated R here. Henry Lesher - And, as I always say, a win is a win. I didn't hear you mention a cheap win when Shannon needed his wife to beat Max.
Kathy Smith - I must say you surprised me. Myst - What do you mean? Kathy Smith - Last night... convincing me to stay in AW when the rest of the girls left. Myst - Last night? Kathy Smith - You really are the best. Kathy then turns and walks away from Myst, humming to herself. Shannon enters the picture, one eyebrow raised. Shannon Skanes - What was that about? Myst - I have no clue. I think Kathy is losing it. Shannon Skanes - *shrugs and then smiles* Baby, tonight was perfect. We ended the career of Max Cameron. I know the perfect way to celebrate. Myst smiles and wraps her arms around Shannon's neck. Myst - We're not waiting till we get back to the hotel? Shannon Skanes - Not that, baby, I mean something grand here. Next month at Outrage, you and I renew our vows. We do it right inside that ring. Myst - *laughs* You're crazy, baby! You're on! The two of them then exit the building, deeply in love and totally unaware that their conversation was overheard.
"Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne plays as Jack Spade makes his way towards the ring. The crowd gives him a warm response in his return to the company. Jack slides into the ring and then jumps to the second rope and poses as fireworks go off. He salutes the crowd and then jumps down off the ropes and waits while his music fades. We then hear "Surfing with the Alien" by Joe Satriani and Hoshi Yakamoto makes her way towards the ring. She also gets a solid reaction from the crowd. Hoshi stops at ringside and looks into the ring at Spade who is looking back out at her. She jumps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring and she seems to be a little uncertain about her opponent this week. Hoshi then steps through the ropes into the ring and referee Casey Braun calls for the bell. Vigilante - Good to see Spade back in the ring again. Henry Lesher - Well, it might matter to you, but it doesn't matter to me. Hoshi and Jack Spade lock up. Hoahi head butts Jack. Jack then shoves Hoshi into the corner and then gives her a monkey flip to the middle of the ring. She lands on her feet and starts trading forearm smashes to the jaw with Spade. Spade then backs Hoshi into the ropes and then gives her an Irish Whip and then gives her a standing dropkick that sends her down to the mat. Jack then stands Hoshi up, whips her into the corner buckle and then gives her a knee lift followed by a tilt a whirl back breaker before he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. Vigilante - I don't see any ring rust in Jack's moves tonight. Henry Lesher - Well, he is against Hoshi. It might show if he were wrestling Rated R or someone important. Jack stands Hoshi up, whips her into the corner buckle and then misses with a clothesline as she ducks it and then gives Jack a backslide into a quick pin attempt. 1....2... kick out by Jack Spade. Hoshi stands Spade up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of kicks to the gut. Hoshi headlocks Spade and gives him a tornado DDT to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... Jack gets a foot on the rope. Hoshi shakes her head and has a few words for referee Casey Braun, then stands Jack up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a dropkick when Jack grabs the ropes and stops his forward momentum. Jack then gives Hoshi a leg drop across the throat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. Vigilante - He won't pin her that easily. Henry Lesher - Yeah, I hear it takes at least two drinks to get her to lay down. Vigilante - That slander. Henry Lesher - It's not slander if it's true. Jack stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and leap frogs her and then gives her a hip toss to the mat where he applies an arm bar. Referee Casey Braun checks on Hoshi who says that she is okay. Hoshi then gets to her feet and reverses the arm bar. Jack then knees Hoshi in the ribs and then gives her a belly to belly overhead suplex to the mat. Jack then picks Hoshi up over his shoulder and then runs her face first into the corner buckle. Jack then gives Hoshi a slam to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. Jack shakes his head as he stands her up, whips her off the ropes and she ducks a clothesline and then gives Jack a reverse neck breaker to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade. Hoshi stands Jack up, whips him into the corner buckle and then misses with a shoulder block attempt as Jack side steps it. Jack then gives Hoshi a knee to the gut and then a gut wrench suplex to the mat and then jumps to the top rope. He then lands the Jack of All Spades on Hoshi and goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Jack Spade is victorious in his return to AW! Vigilante - That was quite the win. Henry Lesher - Yes, for anyone who cared it was. I didn't care. Jack leaves the ring and high fives fans as he makes his way to the back.
Crystal Braun - Leech, if you have a minute... Leech - Whatever. Crystal Braun - There is a lot of history between you and Moose. Leech - Over three years of it. Crystal Braun - It goes back to when you turned your back on Moose as a tag partner in the old CWA. Leech - Yeah, I know. I was there. Crystal Braun - My point being, who is to say you can be trusted as the referee tonight? Leech - Oh, I can't be trusted. I have never been a man who can be trusted. Whether I was leading Flock or holding up EOS, I was never trustworthy. Crystal Braun - Holding up EOS? Leech - Oh I held that group up, held them together and made them look good. It was me who took the real risks, wrestled the really bloody matches and Vig and Moose got the praise while I got stitched up. Crystal Braun - Then you're against Moose? Leech - No, I don't give a damn. Krayne's a dick. Moose..... look, get out and leave me alone. Crystal retreats and Leech continues getting ready for his appearance tonight.
Hoshi Yakamoto has just got to her feet inside the ring when 6Pac Dudley slides into the ring and gives her a series of kicks to the ribs. As he gives her a vertical suplex to the mat, we see Bombshell rolling herself into the ring. She starts putting the boots to both Hoshi and 6Pac as we see Reyna Preciosa rushing to the ring as well. Once Reyna rolls herself into the ring, referee Mark Davis calls for the bell to make this match official. Vigilante - Three ladies and a 6Pac in this one. Henry Lesher - So we have four queens in the ring then. Vigilante - That was actually a decent burn. Reyna and Bombshell start trading punches. 6Pac stands Hoshi up and whips her into the corner buckle. 6Pac then charges into raised knees from Hoshi who then gives 6Pac a clothesline to the mat and then she clotheslines both Bombshell and Reyna down as well. Hoshi stands Bombshell up and whips her off the ropes and then dropkicks her to the mat. Hoshi then lands a rolling thunder on Bombshell and goes for the pin. 1...2... 6Pac pulls Hoshi off of Bombshell and then whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. Vigilante - Unlike other Monarch matches, this one gives the title to the first person in this match who can pin anyone else. It leaves 6Pac with a three in four chance of losing that title. 6Pac stands Reyna up, whips her into the corner and then lands a hand spring back elbow to the jaw on Reyna. 6Pac then gives Reyna a snap mare to the mat and applies a sleeper hold and asks Reyna if she is enjoying her first night in the ring. 6Pac tries to get the rookies to submit while Hoshi slowly gets to her feet, still feeling the effects from her match with Jack Spade that only ended moments ago. Hoshi then steps behind 6Pac and applies a sleeper hold on him while he maintains his sleeper on Reyna. Bombshell then rolls herself into the ring and smiles as she watches the others all wear each other down. Bombshell then climbs the ropes in the nearest corner to them. She leaps off and dropkicks Hoshi in the back which impacts them all. Bombshell then pulls Hoshi off of the other two and then goes for the pin on her. 1...2.... kick out by Hoshi. Vigilante - Looks like Bombshell and the others want to go for the pin on Hoshi, figuring she would be the weakest since her other match just ended. Henry Lesher - That's usually referred to as common sense. Bombshell stands Hoshi up and whips her off the ropes, then gives her a monkey flip right through the ropes and out to the floor. 6Pac then goes for the pin on Bombshell with a small package right after she threw Hoshi out. 1...2... Bombshell kicks out. Bombshell then gets to her feet and starts trading punches with 6Pac Dudley. Bombshell thumbs 6Pac in the eye and then gives him a round house kick to the chest. He stumbles backward and Reyna rolls him up into a school boy for the pin attempt. 1...2... Bombshell kicks Reyna in the back to break it up. Bombshell then stands Reyna up and sets for a vertical suplex, but Reyna blocks it and then she gives Bombshell a snap suplex to the mat. Reyna then gets to her feet grabbing at her back. Reyna is then speared to the mat by 6Pac Dudley who goes for the pin. 1...2... Hoshi pulls 6Pac off Reyna and right out to the floor. Hoshi and 6Pac then start trading punches on the floor, with 6Pac quickly getting the upper hand on her and giving her a clothesline to the floor. 6Pac then climbs onto the apron where Bombshell greets him with a super kick that sends him back to the floor. Bombshell smiles, turns and takes a series of knees from Reyna. Reyna then exits the ring onto the apron and then executes the WTF DDT on Bombshell and goes for the pin! 1...2...3! Reyna Preciosa is the new AW Monarch! Vigilante - That's an upset right there. Henry Lesher - So she's queen? We're done with this? Good, glad to hear it. Let's move on from this. Reyna leaves the ring and starts for the back while a shocked 6Pac realizes what happened.
Shannon Skanes - Where did you go? Myst - What do you mean? Shannon Skanes - I mean, we were all close and then you were gone. Myst - When? Shannon Skanes - Just a few minutes ago. I was at the vending machine getting you a Pepsi. Myst - I don't like Pepsi. You ready to go? Shannon Skanes - .... Myst - You ready to go or not? Shannon Skanes - Um, sure. He puts the can of Pepsi on a nearby table and leaves with Myst. A hand from off screen then grabs the can of Pepsi and we hear someone humming as they walk away, the camera only glimpsing dark brown hair and slender legs as a woman turns the corner. Kathy Smith then rounds the corner, still humming from earlier. We leave this bizarre scene to head back to the ring
"Ink" by Finch plays as Gerard Angelo starts to make his way towards the ring. The crowd greets him with loud boos. He gives one fan the finger and stops at ringside to tell the camera that now is his time and he is taking his belt back. Gerard then steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Gerard tests the ropes while his music fades and we hear "Walk Idiot Walk" by The Hives and Tommy Purr comes out to a huge ovation from the crowd. Purr poses on the top of the stage with the belt above his head while Mrs. Robinson smiles behind him. Purr then makes his way down the ramp while pyro shoots off from either side of the ramp.

Tommy picks Gerard up and power bombs him through the table. Referee Steve Blake counts that as a DQ and tells the time keeper that makes it 2-1 Gerard! Vigilante - That's hardly fair. Gerry brings the damned table into the ring and Tommy takes a DQ for using it? Henry Lesher - Well, I don't know how I feel about that. Tommy continues to argue with referee Steve Blake about that ruling and Gerard rolls Tommy into a school boy, using the ropes for added leverage. 1...2...3! With that, Gerard takes a 3-1 advantage! Kosmic Kitty - Ten minutes gone, twenty to go. Henry Lesher - Dear God, Gerry's ahead 3-1? Vigilante - Just like that, Gerry has a huge advantage!

Tommy Purr - Where's Angelo? Jack Spade - I haven't seen him. Tommy punches the door and heads on down the hallway. He rounds a corner and finds Hoshi Yakamoto there with Bart Phillips. Tommy Purr - I want Angelo! Where's Angelo? Hoshi Yakamoto - We never saw him. Bart Phillips - We have no clue, dude. Tommy heads in the opposite dorection and sees a very nervous looking Ray Dees standing against the wall. He heads for Ray only to take a chair shot to the face from Gerard who had been hiding in a storage closet. Gerard comes out with a self satisfied smile on his face and then slams the chair across Tommy's back and then drives it into his ribs. Gerard then tosses the chair aside and pulls Tommy by one foot back towards the ring. Vigilante - That was bizarre. Henry Lesher - It was brilliant by Gerry actually. As Angelo reaches the stage, still dragging Tommy behind him, the referee tells the time keeper that the score is now 3-2 because of the chair shots by Gerard Angelo! Vigilante - It's not brilliant to do that on camera when they can see you. Henry Lesher - True enough. Gerard protests as he pulls Tommy to ringside.

Vigilante - Little known fact is that Steve Blake and Joe Davidson were a tag team in the 80s in the old CWA. Joe is used to making the save for Steve. Henry Lesher - Gerard's temper is costing him his title tonight. Gerard Angelo gets to his feet slowly. Tommy is up to his hands and knees now. Gerard takes a step towards Tommy. Tommy pulls the feet out from under Gerard and then turns him over and applies a sharpshooter much to the delight of the crowd. Referee Joe Davidson asks Gerard if he submits here to no avail. Tommy leans back in the hold. Gerard refuses to give up and reaches for the ropes. Gerard then tries crawling to the ropes. He is unable to reach them on the first lunge, but he does manage to grab them on the second lunge and Tommy is forced to let go. Tommy stands Gerard up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a backdrop to the mat from there. Vigilante - It's a miracle for any Tommy Purr fan that he has come back here. Henry Lesher - He is the champ for a reason, you know. Most of it is my support. Vigilante - Sure it is, Doc.

Henry Lesher - Then you have no clue what you're doing here anymore than you did when you were a wrestler. Gerard stands Tommy up, whips him towards the corner, but Tommy holds up and avoids the steel. Gerard charges at Tommy and Tommy side steps him. Gerard's head bounces off the steel on his own momentum. Tommy then picks Gerard up and gives him an F5 and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Tommy scores a pin fall and takes a 4-3 lead! Vigilante - Nice recovery there by Tommy and now he is in the driver's seat with less than ten minutes to go. Henry Lesher - He has been the class of the match. Tommy looks to the crowd and smiles, despite the punishment his body has taken and he feels the momentum shift. Gerard Angelo rolls himself out of the ring and Tommy follows behind. Gerard then reaches under the apron and pulls out a trash can. Tommy kicks Gerard in the gut before he has a chance to use it and then sets him for a DDT on the floor. Instead, Gerard gives Tommy a punch to the ribs and then another and then gives him a headlock and follows that with a DDT on Tommy. Gerard tosses the trash can aside and then rolls Tommy into the ring with a smile on his face now. Gerard rolls himself into the ring and goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Gerard evens the score at 4-4!

Gerard slaps the mat and then grabs Joe Davidson by the throat and demands a three count. Joe shakes his head despite the threat of physical violence. Steve Blake then pulls himself onto the apron and stands face to face with the challenger. Vigilante - Steve and Joe stand together here and deny Gerard's three count! Henry Lesher - They're old and they're idiots. Gerry needs to stop worrying about them and pay more attention to Tommy. Blake enters the ring and he and Joe stand side by side while Gerard pleads his case. Tommy Purr gets to his feet behind Gerard. Gerard turns and takes a knee to the gut and then Tommy delivers the Tommyknocker! Tommy goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Tommy again takes the lead at 5-4! Vigilante - Gerard really is screwing himself over here. He had Tommy down and then spends his energy arguing with the two referees. Tommy stands Gerard Angelo up, whips him off the ropes and then knees him in the gut and places him in an abdominal stretch while the fans start a chant for the champion. Gerard shows signs of powering out while he refuses to give up here. He manages to break free with a hip toss on Tommy that sends him down to the mat.

Henry Lesher - That's why I love him. Vigilante - love him? Henry Lesher - You heard me.
Noah Skanes - Ryan's starting this crap again. Wyatt Gibson - What do we do? Noah Skanes - We need to keep him more occupied and distracted I guess. Wyatt Gibson - And how do we do that? Noah Skanes - Surgeon's man is itching for a match, I hear. Wyatt Gibson - Orlock? Noah Skanes - It might take a monster to do the job and since Nameless is missing, this is the next best thing. Wyatt Gibson - We could see if Sal Clemenzo is busy. Noah Skanes - I want Ryan distracted, not dead. Wyatt Gibson - Good point...
We head outside to the parking lot, As I Am by
Dream Theater plays as Leech heads down a makeshift entranceway and
heads towards the ring to the delight of the few fans who've headed
outside to watch this. Leech rolls under the razor wire, into the
ring and leans against the ropes. Vigilante - Moose retains the title! Henry Lesher - That was a match even I liked, despite the fact you were cheering for Moose the whole way. You need to be more objective like I am. Vigilante - I can't believe you just said that. Henry Lesher - Now they get cleaned up and we get ready for..... Summer Sanitarium. Vigilante - Are you drooling?
Wyatt Gibson - I don't see the problem. Noah Skanes - This little plan of Mom and Dad's..... it's insane. Wyatt Gibson - I still don't see how. Noah Skanes - They are renewing their vows, complete with best man and maid of honor. They're giving an open invite to anyone in the wrestling world to be there. They're renewing their vows inside the wrestling ring at Outrage. I don't like it. Wyatt Gibson - You're paranoid. The buy rate should be huge. Noah Skanes - It will be huge because everyone knows, this is an opening for someone to ruin the damned thing. Wyatt Gibson - Noah, you're stressed. Have yourself a beer and everything will be fine. Noah Skanes - He told me and I never listened. Wyatt Gibson - Who did? Noah Skanes - For all the abuse the guy took, Vesuvius made a lot of sense. Wyatt Gibson - Vesuvius? Now I am questioning your sanity. Noah exits the office and Wyatt lets out a heavy sigh. This could get very complicated.
Vig - You can't discount the fatigue factor
