present Uprising.
July 1st, 2006
It's a packed house for a show moved at the last minute. Though scheduled for a showing in Las Vegas, Nevada, the show has been moved to Ottawa Ontario, putting this event at the Canadian nation's capital on Canada Day. Backstage we see Krayne looking out the side door of the building, before we have seen any opening credits for the show.
Krayne - Look, it's just a little protection.
The camera now gets close enough for us to see he is talking to Tony Parizi.
Tony Parizi - *looks around* I'm an accountant.
Krayne - Tony, we both know who you are.
Tony Parizi - I haven't been convicted of anything in a long time. I'd really rather not.
Krayne - There's a lot you could gain out of this.
Tony Parizi - I don't need money. I have a Swiss account...
Krayne - No, not for money. I'm not finished messing with Moose yet.
Tony Parizi - Moose? Talk about an overrated piece of...
Krayne - Exactly, so you in?
Before Tony can answer, we see the opening credits and images of Nameless, Rated R, Gerard Angelo, Tommy Purr, Moose, Krayne, Freak, Hoshi Yakamoto, Wren SilverPhoenix, Slim Pickens, 6Pac Dudley, Bombshell and Steve Hawkins while "Coming Undone" by Korn plays. We then go to ringside where Henry Lesher is joined by Sammy Jo Johnson tonight.
6Pac Dudley vs Yakamoto Takashi
"Southtown" by POD plays as 6Pac Dudley makes his way towards the ring, the crowd cheering him on. He high fives fans while Dex Cooper follows behind him carrying the Canadian flag. 6Pac makes his way around the ring, gives Henry Lesher the finger and then makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then jumps over the top rope into the ring. 6Pac then stands in the corner and waits while his music fades and then we hear "The End of the Earth" by Loudness and Yakamoto Takashi starts making his way towards the ring with Kira Yakamoto close behind him. He then slowly makes his way down towards the ring, not taking his eyes off of his opponent in the ring.
Sammy Jo Johnson - This is a big match to start the show, Monarch title on the line.
Henry Lesher - Big match? What planet are you from?
Takashi rolls himself into the ring and the bell sounds to get things started as 6Pac starts putting the boots to the much larger Takashi. 6Pac lands a leg drop across the back of the neck and then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Takashi. 6Pac then goes to the ropes and waits to Takashi is on his feet before leaping off and giving him a missile dropkick to the chest that sends him right back down to the mat. 6Pac looks to the crowd and they let out a loud cheer for him. 6Pac then climbs the ropes to the top again as Takashi gets to his feet. He leaps for another missile dropkick only to have Takashi catch his feet in mid air and then give him an airplane spin twice before dropping him flat on his back. Takashi then walks on 6Pac and walks off. Takashi then stands 6Pac up, whips him into the corner buckle and then picks him up on his shoulders and delivers an F5. Takashi manages a smile as he looks down on 6Pac and then puts his foot on 6Pac's chest for the pin. 1...2... 6Pac gets a foot on the bottom rope.
Sammy Jo Johnson - A little overconfidence there by Takashi.
Henry Lesher - You can forgive him that. Look who he is against.
Takashi stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a big boot to the chest that sends him back down to the mat. Takashi then starts climbing the ropes. Dex Cooper shouts out to him and waves the Canadian flag at him. Takashi has a few words with Dex while 6Pac slowly gets to his feet. Takashi turns and takes a dropkick to the chest from 6Pac. 6Pac then climbs the ropes and gives the big man a superplex to the mat. 6Pac and Takashi then lie next to each other while the crowd cheers that show of strength by 6Pac. Referee Joe Davidson starts counting both men down. On the three count, Takashi sits up. On the five count, 6Pac kips up to his feet and stops the count.
Sammy Jo Johnson - 6Pac showing the resilience needed to be a champion in this league.
Henry Lesher - This isn't a league. The AW is a series of bum fights made into a show. Most of this roster is paid in food stamps.
6Pac kicks Takashi in the face and then gives him a leg drop across the throat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Takashi kicks out. 6Pac then stands Takashi up, whips him through the ropes and out to the floor and then slides out of the ring to the floor himself. 6Pac rams Takashi's head into the guard railing and then stands him up. Takashi thumbs 6Pac in the eye and then gives him a series of knife edge chops that can be heard to the rafters. Takashi then clotheslines 6Pac to the floor and comes face to face with Dex Cooper. Takashi has a few words with Dex while 6Pac grabs the apron and pulls himself into the ring. Referee Joe Davidson continues counting while Takashi and Dex try to stare each other down. The referee then calls for the bell.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Takashi got counted out! 6Pac retains the AW Monarch title!
Henry Lesher - I cannot believe this has happened.
Takashi and Dex starts brawling on the floor while 6Pac is handed his belt once again. 6Pac then dives through the ropes and drills Takashi in the side of the head with the belt, sending him into the front row where people scatter quickly. 6Pac and Dex then high five each other and head towards the back, the Canadian flag being waved before the world.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Some proud Canadians here tonight.
Henry Lesher - They have no military. They have no courage. I guess this is the closest thing they have to a hero in this country. That's sad.
We look backstage and see Freak and Harmony in their dressing room.
Freak - I just haven'y faced Ryan before.
Harmony - Just remember last week when we won the tag titles. Just remember...
A man with flowers enters the room.
Flower Delivery Guy - Is there a Harmony Fallacio here?
Harmony Fallacia - That's Fallacia, but yeah.
Flower Deliver Guy - *hands her the flowers* Have a great day.
Freak - *looks at the card* These are from Ryan.
Harmony Fallacia - Rated R Ryan?
Freak - Well, I don't mean Nolan Ryan.
Harmony Fallacia - Why would he send me flowers?
Freak - I'd like to know that myself.
Xtreme Challenge
"Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N Roses plays as Slim Pickens starts making his way towards the ring. He is half way to the ring when a chair comes out of the crowd and hits him in the side of the head a moment before an enraged Wren leaps over the railing and falls onto the steel ramp in a fistfight between the two of them. Wren slams Slim's head into the steel, then stands him up and whips him shoulder first into the guard railing. Wren then stands him up again and pulls him to ringside. She goes for a slam into the steel steps, but Slim reverses it and sends Wren shoulder first into the steps. Slim then rolls Wren into the ring.
Sammy Jo Johnson - These two are really doing a number on each other, but I believe Nameless is in this match as well, so it doesn't really start until he gets here.
Henry Lesher - Seeing as I don't take Slim or Wren seriously, I would have to agree with you there.
Slim rolls himself into the ring and applies a sleeper hold on Wren. While referee Steve Blake tries to explain this match hasn't really started yet, we see The Nameless making his way towards the ring. He has a bit of a quicker step than usual and the CWA title is not over his shoulder. He then stops and we see Emily Blackstone sprinting from the back with Kenji close behind her. She slides into the ring and the bell sounds to get the match started. Nameless then turns and sees Kenji and Kenji makes his way to the opposite side of the ring.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Emily is in this match?
Henry Lesher - That's sad. Then why would Nameless come out here?
Sammy Jo Johnson - Maybe to size up his former manager.
Emily kicks Slim in the face to break up the sleeper and then stands him up and whips him into the corner. She lands a series of kicks to the gut on Slim. Slim then dives and takes the feet out from under her. Slim then stands Emily up, whips her off the ropes and dropkicks her back to the mat. Wren then gives Slim a knee lift and then gives him a clothesline to the mat. Wren then gives Slim a series of rights and lefts while he is down on the ground. Emily sees this and takes advantage, locking Wren into a backslide and holding her down for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Wren. Emily then gets to her feet and starts trading rights and lefts with Wren. Wren starts gaining the upper hand, sending Emily into the corner where she then lands a series of body shots before giving her a double under hook suplex to the middle of the ring.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Emily has acquitted herself nicely so far.
Henry Lesher - If only Nameless would choke slam someone.
Wren picks Emily up and power slams her to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Slim pulls Wren off of Emily. Slim stands Wren up and whips her through the ropes and right out to the floor where she collides with Nameless. Nameless then grabs her around the throat while Slim climbs the ropes in the corner and lands the Slim Proposition on Emily while Nameless choke slams Wren. Slim goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Slim Pickens wins a title shot!
Sammy Jo Johnson - Slim belly flops his way to a shot at the Xtreme title!
Henry Lesher - No one actually cares, though. Nameless hit a sweet slam on Wren as if to appease me.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Yeah, I am sure that was for you, Doc.
As Slim celebrates and heads for the back, we then head backstage and see Moose entering the building where he is headed off by Crystal Braun.
Crystal Braun - Moose, tonight you get a shot at immortality and another chance to become the CWA champion.
Moose - I'll tell you this. Nameless is a monster. He has run over a lot of people in his time in AW. Thing is... tonight he's trying to run me over. No one runs me over.
Crystal Braun - Krayne has had an impact on your recent matches. Are you concerned with that tonight?
Moose - Yeah, Krayne seems to want to single me out. That's fine with me. I'll make him regret it. If he comes near the ring tonight, he will wish he hadn't.
Crystal Braun - You seem focused tonight.
Moose - I am always focused. If you want someone without focus, interview Nameless.
Moose walks off and we head back to the ring.
Team STD vs Team Glamour Girls
"Buttons" by Pussycat Dolls plays as Grace leads Chastity, Corina, Ophelia, Kathy and Kelly towards the ring. The crowd cheers, the five women coming out dancing a choreographed number and lip synching along with the song wearing black and white tights. with white half tops. They all reach ringside and Grace takes her spot in one corner while four of the girls also take their place in the same corner while Corina enters the ring and tells the rest of them that she will start the match. "Le Disko" by Shiny Toy Guns starts to play as Bombshell leads Mrs. Robinson, Precious Fairchild, Sarah Darling, and Ebony Fairchild with Rebella DeCesare close behind them, their manager for tonight's big match. The crowd gives them a warm response as well.
Sammy Jo Johnson - This should be a big match.
Henry Lesher - If you say so. I have yet to see a match worth paying a cent for.
The five members of STD take their place in their corner. They send Sarah Darling in first. She smiles and waves to the crowd, but gets a mixed response along with a few catcalls. She then turns and locks up with Corina as referee Casey Braun calls for the bell. Corina ducks under and picks Sarah up on her shoulders and gves her a modified spine buster to the mat and quickly goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Sarah. Corina stands Sarah up, whips her into a neutral corner and then charges in for a spear, but Sarah side steps it and Corina crashes into the corner shoulder first before Sarah rolls her into a school boy with a hook of the tights for good measure. 1...2...3! Sarah Darling eliminates Corina!
Sammy Jo Johnson - That's a surprise.
Henry Lesher - Only to you then. The Glamour Girls are garbage.
Sarah Darling does a celebration dance inside the ring that is then interrupted when Chastity spears her to the mat and then she goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Just like that, Chastity evens the teams at four a piece.
Henry Lesher - Sarah really is the dumb one apparently.
Sammy Jo Johnson - A will admit that wasn't the way to get ready for the next challenge.
Chastity then turns and gets into a heated exchange with Precious Fairchild, exchanging rights and lefts in the middle of the ring. Chastity then gives Precious a knife edge chop and Precious knees Chastity in the gut, places her in a headlock and lands a DDT on Chastity before going for the pin on her. 1...2... Ophelia breaks it up with a kick to the head on Precious. Fairchild then stands Chastity up, whips her into a neutral corner and then gives her a series of elbow smashes to the jaw while Rebella looks on from ringside and applauds. Precious then goes to whip Chastity to the opposite corner, but Chastity plants her feet and reverses it, sending Precious into the corner where she then gives her a series of knee lifts before giving her a snap suplex back to the middle of the ring. Chastity then tags in Ophelia. They whip Precious off the ropes and give her a double dropkick down to the mat. Ophelia then goes to the ropes while Chastity exits the ring. Ophelia climbs to the top rope and poses there, then leaps off only to have Precious roll out of the way and tag in Bombshell. Bombshell stands ready in the corner. Ophelia gets up and takes the Bitch Kick that sends her down to the mat where Bombshell goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Ophelia has been eliminated.
Sammy Jo Johnson - We're down to four on three now.
Henry Lesher - It sickens me that this match is still going on.
Kelly Buchanan charges into the ring and starts brawling on the mat with Bombshell, the former friends renewing acquaintances here. Kelly grabs Bombshell by the hair and bounces her head off the mat. Bombshell reverses that and starts slamming Kelly's head onto the mat and then the two of them roll right out of the ring. They get to their feet on the floor and start trading rights and lefts. Bombshell then thumbs Kelly in the eye and whips her shoulder first into the steel ring steps and then gives her a German suplex on the floor. Bombshell then gives her a leg drop across the throat before rolling her into the ring. Bombshell then rolls herself into the ring and goes for the pin on Kelly. 1...2... Kelly gets a foot on the bottom rope. Bombshell stands Kelly up and pulls her to STD's corner where she tags in Ebony. Ebony leaps over the top rope into the ring and starts landing knife edge chops to the chest on Kelly, driving her into the corner buckle. Ebony whips Kelly into the opposite corner and then charges into raised knees from Kelly. Kelly then pulls Ebony to her corner and tags in Kathy. They then whip Ebony off the ropes and give her a double spear to the mat. Kathy then picks Ebony up and gives her a sidewalk slam. In their corner, Bombshell climbs to the top rope and goes for a leg drop onto Kathy. Kathy rolls out of the way and Bombshell instead lands on Ebony and, while referee Casey Braun escorts Bombshell from the ring, Kathy picks Ebony up and Kelly gives her a Doomsday Device off the top. Kathy then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Ebony takes a seat for the night.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Kathy and Kelly showing superior team work there.
Henry Lesher - Bombshell needs to pick better partners.
Mrs. Robinson enters the ring and catches Kathy Smith off guard with a series of rights and lefts to the jaw. Robinson then picks Kathy up and body slams her to the mat while Rebella again applauds at ringside. Robinson then stands Kathy up, whips her off the ropes and gives her a backdrop before giving her a knee to the forehead and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Kathy kicks out. Robinson stands Kathy up, whips her off the ropes and ducks her head to backdrop Kathy, but Kathy kicks her in the face and then Robinson takes a Rock Bottom from Kathy. Kathy goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Mrs. Robinson and Kathy slaps the mat. Kathy stands Robinson up, whips her into a neutral corner and then turns right into a Bitch Kick from Bombshell and Robinson goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Kathy is out as another Glamour Girl falls victim to a Bombshell super kick.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Bombshell appears to be taking matters into her own hands.
Henry Lesher - They are the only half way capable ones involved in this match.
Chastity enters the ring and locks up with Robinson. She then whips Robinson into her corner where Kelly gives her a punch to the face and then eye gouges her along the top rope. Chastity then gives Robinson a face buster and then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top. Bombshell shakes the top rope and Chastity falls off awkwardly. Mrs. Robinson then rolls Chastity into a small package for the pin attempt. 1...2...3! Chastity is out! That leaves Kelly alone on her team.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Things look bad for the Glamour Girls now.
Henry Lesher - Let's be honest here. It's the Bombshell show.
Kelly charges into the ring and spears Robinson to the mat. She then goes to the STD corner and dropkicks Bombshell off the apron. Kelly then does the same to Precious before she turns her attention back to Robinson. Kelly whips Robinson into the corner buckle and then gives her a tilt a whirl back breaker and then goes for the pin, hooking the tights out of the referee's view. 1...2...3! Kelly barely eliminates Robinson and barely gets to her feet when Bombshell charges in and pulls the feet out from under her. Bombshell then picks Kelly up and dumps her over the top rope and down to the floor. Bombshell then sees Grace making her way over to check on Kelly and baseball slides out of the ring and kicks Grace right into the guard railing.
Sammy Jo Johnson - That's hardly fair. She isn't a part of this match.
Henry Lesher - She is now.
Bombshell then rolls Kelly into the ring. Kelly gets to her feet quickly and when Bombshell enters the ring she takes a leg drop across the back of the neck. Bombshell rolls herself out of the ring and takes a chair shot from a now quite angry Grace. Grace rolls Bombshell back into the ring while referee Casey Braun decides to call for the bell, disqualifying the Glamour Girls.
Sally Jo Johnson - Grace lost her temper and it cost the girls the match.
Henry Lesher - No, they just couldn't legally stop Bombshell because they are all second rate stars.
As security fills the ring to break things up before they get out of control, we look backstage and see Vesuvius with Shengee Shmelky.
Vesuvius - Where's Salty Tom?
Shengee Shmelky - He got a job in a Broadway play with Craven Broderick.
Vesuvius - I see.
Shengee Shmelky - I am here because I heard you have an announcement to make.
Vesuvius - Yeah, I meant to deliver this news to Gerard Angelo and Bombshell before coming here and doing this. I have sold my shares in AW to Noah Skanes. He now runs the whole company.
Shengee Shmelky - But.... that makes this place the CWA?
Vesuvius - No, the kid likes the Anarchy name being in there, so he's keeping the two name thing. I just don't have anything more to prove and, to be honest, with the amount of crap I have taken here, I really don't give a damn anymore.
Shengee Shmelky - So what now?
Vesuvius - I have my night clubs. I have a few gyms opening in the mid west. I'll be fine.
Vesuvius then turns and walks away, whistling to himself while a shocked Shmelky Brother struggles to find the words to throw back to the ring.
Hoshi Yakamoto vs Kosmic Kitty
"Surfing With the Alien" by Joe Satriani starts playing as Hoshi Yakamoto comes out to loud cheers from the crowd. The ring has been set up so that there are four side on it. The winner of this match will be the first to climb on top of one of the side and dives across the ring and grab the Twinkie hanging from the pole that is at the center of the ring itself. Hoshi slides under the bottom rope into the ring and then jumps back to her feet and waves to the cheering crowd while her music fades. We then hear "S.O.S." by Rhianna and Kosmic Kitty starts making her way to the ring to an equally positive reaction from the fans who quickly forgive the blonde superstar.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Tonight's action really shows the strength of our female roster.
Henry Lesher - No, it exposes how weak we are without Parker Davis, Simon, Razorblade, Leech, Kingston, Maybon, and Sal Clemenzo who we haven't seen on this show in weeks. This company is a shadow of the farce it was. Now it is a running joke and the only ones not laughing are those of use left watching this crap.
Sammy Jo Johnson - You have the right to your opinion, even if you're wrong.
Once Kitty enters the ring, the bell sounds and the two divas lock up in the middle of the ring. Kosmic Kitty backs Hoshi into the corner and then gives her a hip toss to the middle of the ring before giving her an arm drag back into the corner and then she applies an arm bar on Hoshi. Hoshi grabs the ropes to force the break and then starts climbing the ropes, heading for the prize here. Kitty grabs the feet of Hoshi and pulls her off of the ropes and sends her down to the mat, flat on her back. Kitty then does a standing somersault splash onto Hoshi Yakamoto and then Kitty decides it's her time to take to the ropes. She makes her way to the top rope and dives for the Twinkie, but misses it by mere inches. Kosmic Kitty then applies a camel clutch on Hoshi in an effort to wear her down.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Looks like Ryan has been training her again.
Henry Lesher - Like I give a damn.
Hoshi gets to her hands and knees and weakens the hold. She then gets to her feet and drops backwards, landing on Kitty and forcing her to break the hold. Hoshi then heads to the nearest corner and climbs to the top rope. Hoshi then turns and makes a leap for the Twinkie, but Kitty catches her in mid air and gives her a power bomb to the mat, using her own momentum against her. Kitty then opts to climb the ropes and makes her way to the top rope. She leaps for the Twinkie, but misses and takes a flapjack to the mat from Hoshi. Hoshi then gives Kitty a leg drop to the back of the neck and then climbs to the top rope. She leaps off and Hoshi grabs the Twinkie and frees it, causing referee Mark Davis to call for the bell and raise Hoshi's hand. Seeing Hoshi is the victor tonight, Kitty rolls herself out of the ring and sits down next to the time keeper and starts to cry. Inside the ring, Hoshi eats the Twinkie and celebrates the win.
Sammy Jo Johnson - It took a few dives for one of these girls to get it, but Hoshi comes out with the win.
Henry Lesher - And that apparently broke the idiot's heart.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Kitty's a nice girl. I cannot figure out why she is with that terrible person Ryan.
Henry Lesher - She chose a winner over a nice guy.
As a satisfied Hoshi heads for the back, we look backstage where Shannon Skanes is entering his son's office.
Noah Skanes - What's up, Dad?
Shannon Skanes - Well, it seems Max Cameron has a front row ticket tonight. Even the camera didn't pick him up. I did, though.
Noah Skanes - Seriously?
Shannon Skanes - Him being here cannot be a good thing. He doesn't have a job within this company anymore.
Noah Skanes - Well, obviously.
Father and son then head out of the office and we head back to the ring.
Freak, Himself vs. Rated R
"I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace starts to play and former AW champion Rated R starts making his way towards the ring. Freak, Himself then rushes out, not waiting his turn and starts trading punches with Rated R on the ramp. Rated R eye gouges Freak. Freak knees Rated R to the gut and then gives him a swinging neck breaker onto the steel. Freak then drags Rated R by both feet to ringside and then stands him up and whips him shoulder first into the steel corner post while Harmony Fallacia rushes to ringside and seems to be pleading with Freak to relax. Freak then rolls Rated R into the ring, then rolls himself into the ring and referee Bruce Miller calls for the bell.
Sammy Jo Johnson - I believe Freak is reacting to Rated R sending Harmony flowers earlier tonight.
Henry Lesher - Rated R is too much man for just one woman to handle.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Sure he is. I believe he wants to mess with Freak's mind and it appears to have backfired so far.
Freak stands Rated R up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of shoulder blocks before giving him an inverted atomic drop and Freak then gives Rated R a head butt that sends him down to the mat. Freak then stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him down to the mat. We take a quick look and see that Kosmic Kitty is still crying at ringside.
Henry Lesher - God, someone get her out of here.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Some losses are harder to take than others and that match was a Kitty specialty.
Freak stands Rated R up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a backdrop from there. Freak then sees Kitty crying at ringside and looks over at Rated R. Freak rolls out of the ring and goes to Kitty.
Sammy Jo Johnson - He's... ummm... apologizing to Kitty for hurting Ryan? I don't think she even knew what was happening right now.
Henry Lesher - He's an idiot. This proves it to the world.
Rated R rolls himself out of the ring, collecting his energy and then chopping the knees out from under Freak. Kitty looks startled, but she then asks Ryan to win this match for her and he nods. Rated R stands Freak up and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself into the ring. Rated R then pulls Freak to the middle of the ring and applies a sharp shooter. Freak reaches for the ropes in vain as referee Bruce Miller asks is he submits. Freak refuses to give up even as Rated R sits back and tries to break the back and spirit of his opponent this week. Harmony is seen pacing at ringside and is clearly not liking the turn this match has taken. Freak pulls himself slowly towards the ropes. Rated R struggles to hold him steady. Freak then starts pulling himself up from the mat and then uses that momentum to reverse the hold and now Rated R is the one in pain and reaching for the ropes while the crowd cheers.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Nice reversal there by Freak.
Henry Lesher - It won't last.
Rated R pulls himself towards the ropes and then lunges and manages to grab the bottom rope to force the break. Rated R then pulls himself out of the ring to the floor. He comes face to face with Harmony and smiles at her. Freak sees this and then dives through the ropes, landing a la plancha onto Rated R, sending him head first into the guard railing. Freak then stands Rated R up and whips him shoulder first into the steel ring steps. Freak then rolls Rated R into the ring before rolling himself into the ring. He two handed chokes Rated R.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Again, Ryan playing mind games with Harmony and Freak, but it backfires.
Henry Lesher - He is causing Freak to flip out which weakens him in the long run.
Freak releases the choke, stands Rated R up and whips him off the ropes. Rated R ducks a clothesline and then gives Freak a reverse neck breaker. Rated R then goes to the ropes and calls to Harmony and summons her up onto the apron. Freak gets to his feet behind Rated R. Rated R plants a kiss on the lips of Harmony and Freak charges. Rated R steps out of the way and Freak spears Harmony off the apron and down to the floor. Rated R then pulls Freak to the mat with a school boy pin attempt. 1...2...3! Rated R gets the win thanks to the mind game he employed tonight.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Ryan didn't cheat, but he did use distraction to his benefit.
Henry Lesher - I'll bet that's the best kiss Harmony ever got.
Sammy Jo Johnson - I don't think Ryan has seen the last of Freak.
Henry Lesher - Freak should retire. This was embarrassing, even by his standards.
We then see Noah Skanes and Shannon Skanes making their way to the front row. There they find an empty seat where Shannon reports he saw Max Cameron.
Noah Skanes - Okay, Dad, we have an empty chair. Now what?
Shannon Skanes - He must be at the concessions stand.
Noah Skanes - There are a lot of those.
Shannon Skanes - We'll find him. I have never been bested by Max yet.
Shannon and Noah then head towards the back while stand in ring announcer Crystal Braun gets set to announce the contestants for the next match tonight.
Wren SilverPhoenix vs. Krayne
"The Enemy" by Godsmack plays and we see Wren coming out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. She quickly makes her way to ringside and takes a look at the empty seat where Max Cameron had been. She has a few words with a nearby security guard and points to the ring and then says a few unkind words about Max Cameron. She then turns and rolls herself into the ring. Wren then has a few words with referee Francis Clarke about the way this is going to go. Her music then fades and we hear "Vinegar Stroke" by Sunk Loto and Krayne comes out to a mixed reaction, tonight walked towards the ring by Chili Stokes. Stokes points to Krayne and says this is the next champion.
Sammy Jo Johnson - This should be an interesting match up. Moose wants a piece of Krayne. Max Cameron and Wren hate each other. Slim Pickens wants a match with Wren and earned the next title shot at the Xtreme title. Nameless gave Wren a choke slam earlier tonight, so we will see how that affects her in this match. This could turn out really interesting indeed.
Henry Lesher - To you and the mindless fans, yes. To me, it needs some real star power.
Krayne steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. The bell sounds and the match is on, an Xtreme title match actually starting inside the ring for a change. Krayne knees Wren in the gut and then whips her into the corner buckle before giving her an atomic drop. Krayne then chokes Wren with the top rope and then slingshots her down to the mat. Krayne then gives her a knee drop to the forehead and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Wren kicks out. Krayne then rolls Wren out of the ring where she takes a chair shot from manager Stokes who then smiles to the crowd. Stokes then throws the chair to Krayne and he tees off on her, a shot to the head with that same chair. Krayne then goes for the pin on the floor. 1...2... Wren rolls a shoulder out. Krayne stands Wren up and whips her shoulder first into the guard railing. We then see Max Cameron taking a seat in the empty chair. Security then tells him to leave, but Max shows them a paid ticket and refuses to move.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Here comes the brawl.
Henry Lesher - Anything to break this up.
Wren pulls herself up, using the railing as an aid and she spots Max. She dives over the railing and bowls Max over, sending his drink onto the fans sitting behind him. We then see Noah and Shannon Skanes rushing in to break this up before it destroys the match altogether. Krayne rests his elbow on the shoulder of Stokes and smiles while he watches this, unaware that Moose is making his way towards ringside. Moose catches Krayne and Stoke off guard with a crow bar across the back of their knees. He then drills it into the ribs of Krayne and then Moose grabs the chair and clubs Stokes over the head with it.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Moose making his presence known here.
Henry Lesher - Moose not minding his own business. That's what this is.
Wren makes her way back over the railing at the demand of Noah Skanes, who says she'll be suspended again if she doesn't back off. While security drags Max Cameron from ringside, Wren stands Krayne up and rolls him into the ring. Wren then pulls a table out from under the ring and slides it under the bottom rope onto the mat. Wren then rolls herself into the ring. She smiles and tells Krayne that "Stevie" is about to go down for the count. She then turns and starts setting up the table while Slim Pickens makes his way to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. Wren turns and is nose to nose with Slim who picks Wren up and power slams her through the table. Krayne then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Slim cost Wren the Xtreme title!
Sammy Jo Johnson - I do not believe it! Krayne is the Xtreme champ!
Henry Lesher - She needs to hang her head in shame. She was worried about Max, but a man from a lower value trailer park than Max's cost her the belt. That's a shame for Wren, but a good thing I don't give a damn.
"Animal I Have Become" by Three Days Grace plays as Krayne is handed his title belt and a very upset looking Frank Merritt marches towards the ring, wearing an old school Flock 420 shirt. He makes his way up the ring steps and then steps through the ropes into the ring and Krayne and Stokes quickly exit the ring and ringside area, disappearing into the crowd as Frank kneels next to the fallen Wren and then looks outside the ring at Slim and signals that he is ready to end Slim. Slim retreats for the back.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Frank apparently saw enough and he has come out here to align himself with Wren!
Henry Lesher - That's too little too late as Krayne's got the belt.
We then look to the parking lot and see Max being dragged to a bus.
Noah Skanes - Where's the bus headed?
Shannon Skanes - *shrugs* I heard Thunder Bay, though I don't really care. We have to get the trash out of here.
Max Cameron - I'll haunt you, Shannon! I'll haunt you and your miserable company.
Shannon Skanes - Tell Simon I said hi.... and tell him I said go to hell, too.
Max is loaded onto the bus. The door closes and the bus drives off, Shannon and Noah both looking concerned.
Noah Skanes - He's going to be a problem.
Shannon Skanes - Max is always a problem. If this continues, I may have to put him out of commission myself.
Noah nods and then they return to the building.
The Moose vs. The Nameless
"I Feel Alright" by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers plays as The Moose is already standing in the middle of the ring after his attack on Krayne, one which failed to prevent him from getting the title. Now it's Moose's turn to go for gold tonight as his music plays and the crowd starts chanting his name. Moose paces inside the ring then as his music fades and we hear "Pain Redefined" by Disturbed and Adam Lewis comes out with the Nameless close behind him. Lewis has the CWA title over his shoulder.
Henry Lesher - This is the first actual match of the night.
Sammy Jo Johnson - I think this has been a really entertaining night.
Henry Lesher - You would. Where's Ricky?
Sammy Jo Johnson - As a result of Parker Davis exiting the company, Ricky needed a week off. It turns out he feels he was responsible for Parker leaving.
Henry Lesher - Parker? Leaving over him? Ricky has inflated self esteem.
Nameless steps up onto the apron and then steps over the top rope into the ring. The bell sounds to get the action underway and Moose and Nameless start trading rights and lefts. Nameless starts gaining the advantage and backs Moose into the corner. He tries to whip Moose to the opposite turn buckle, but Moose plants his feet and sends Nameless into the corner and then gives him a series of kicks to the chest. Moose then gives Nameless a snap mare to the middle of the ring and applies a cobra clutch sleeper. Nameless quickly grabs the bottom rope to force the break and then pulls himself out of the ring to the floor.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Might be the first time I have seen Nameless running.
Henry Lesher - He is not running. He is lulling Moose into thinking he is doing well.
Moose drops and rolls himself out of the ring to the floor, turns Nameless around and takes a knee to the gut and then a clothesline to the floor. Nameless then gives Moose a knee drop to the chest before standing him up and rolling him into the ring, himself close behind. Nameless stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a big boot to the chest and then readies for the choke slam. Nameless stands Moose up, starts picking him up for the choke slam and Moose manages to thumb Nameless in the eye and then gives him a spinning DDT to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... Nameless kicks out. Moose stands Nameless up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him to the mat. Moose then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. Nameless stands and turns in time to see Moose coming off the top for a flying body press. Instead, Nameless catches Moose and gives him a power slam to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... Moose kicks out. Nameless slaps the mat and looks at referee Steve Blake. Outside the ring, Adam Lewis tells the big man to focus and crush Moose.
Sammy Jo Johnson - The champ is in control here.
Henry Lesher - Of course he is. He is the only true monster in AW.
Nameless stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and clotheslines him to the mat. He then grabs him around the throat. He picks Moose up as if for a choke slam. Moose gives Nameless a series of elbows to the side of the head. Nameless still manages to pick him up and choke slams him to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Nameless again appears agitated with the speed of the count. Nameless stands Moose up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges in shoulder first only to find no one home as Moose steps out of the way. Moose then gives Nameless a spine buster to the mat. Moose then rains down punches to the mask of Nameless. Moose stands Nameless up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a knee to the spine. Nameless then turns and takes a series of knee lifts from Moose and then Nameless shoves Moose to the mat and climbs to the second rope. Nameless waits for Moose to stand and goes for a clothesline from there, but Moose ducks it. Moose then gives Nameless a DDT to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... Nameless rolls a shoulder out in time.
Sammy Jo Johnson - You almost have to kill Nameless in order to pin him.
Henry Lesher - That's why he wins everywhere he goes.
Moose stands Nameless up, whips him off the ropes and clotheslines him backwards, then gives him a dropkick that finally brings him back down to the mat. Moose then makes his way to the ropes again and launches himself for a flying elbow smash only to find no one home when Nameless rolls out of the way. Nameless then uses the ropes to quickly get to his feet, Nameless again grabs Moose around the throat. The relentless monster stands Moose up. Moose knee lifts Nameless five times and breaks the hold, then picks the big man up and gives him the Moose Driver. Moose then picks Nameless up and delivers a second Moose Driver for good measure and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Moose is the new CWA champ!
Sammy Jo Johnson - In a result some will say is an upset, Nameless drops the belt here to Moose!
Henry Lesher - I am floored. I really am.
Moose is handed the title and rolls himself out of the ring. We then see Krayne on the big screen.
Krayne - So, you won a belt without my help, finally? Let me inform you of something I heard around Wyatt Gibson's office. You won the CWA title, so they are dissolving that Superior title of yours. It turns out a lot of people have left lately and they wanted to phase that belt out. Oh and I won gold tonight as well, despite your.... help. See you soon Moose. Next time we meet, we're both champions.
Krayne's image fades and Moose starts for the back with his newly won title over his shoulder. Clearly he intends to find Krayne. We then look to Wyatt Gibson's office where Wren SilverPhienix is staggering into the room.
Wyatt Gibson - Well, look what the cat dragged in.
Wren SilverPhoenix - Slim Pickens screwed me over, took my belt!
Wyatt Gibson - Right, I guess he wanted to face Krayne next week.
Wren SilverPhoenix - Over my dead body!
Wyatt Gibson - You were laying pretty still.
Wren SilverPhoenix - Look, smart ass, I'll slap the taste out of your mouth. I want Krayne next week!
Wyatt Gibson - No, Slim gets Krayne next week. Both of their dance cards are free the week after, though.
Wren SilverPhoenix - I want to make then both bleed. Give me a match with Slim in two weeks then.
Wyatt Gibson - Oh sure, that sounds fine with me, whatever. Just get out of my office. Your lip is bleeding on my floor.
Wren SilverPhoenix - I'm glad you're back, Wyatt. It's nice to have a GM that isn't physically imposing to my hamster.
She staggers out and we return to the ring for the last match of the night.
Gerard Angelo vs. Tommy Purr
"Walk Idiot Walk" by The Hives plays as Tommy Purr comes out for his title shot tonight, a rather tired looking Mrs. Robinson leading the way. Tommy reaches ringside and listens to the cheers of the crowd. Tommy jumps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Tommy tests the ropes and then paces nervously while his music fades and then we hear "Ink" by Finch and AW champion Gerard Angelo makes his way to the ring, tonight coming out by himself instead of with Bombshell.
Sammy Jo Johnson - So we have finally reached the main event tonight.
Henry Lesher - I am in mourning over the fact Nameless lost his belt. That was his belt.
Gerard reaches ringside and hands his title belt to the time keeper and then marches up the steps onto the apron. Tommy greets him with a series of rights and lefts and then clotheslines him back to the floor. Tommy then steps out onto the apron and gives Gerard a double axe handle smash across the back, then stands him up and rolls him into the ring. Once Tommy rolls himself back in, the bell sounds to get the match officially underway. Tommy stands Gerard up, whips him off the ropes and Gerard ducks a clothesline and then gives Tommy a knee to the gut followed by a gut wrench suplex. Gerard then stands Tommy up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a dropkick for good measure. Gerard then quickly gets to his feet and takes a clothesline from a charging Tommy.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Good back and forth action so far between these two.
Henry Lesher - Tommy's the better man. Gerard has done a lot to win me over, but he fails because I say he does.
Tommy picks Gerard up and runs him into the corner face first. Tommy then gives Gerard a power slam to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Gerard Angelo. Tommy stands Gerard up again, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a knee to the gut, sending him somersaulting through the air. Tommy then picks Gerard up and slams him back to the mat. Tommy then goes to the nearest corner and climbs to the top. Gerard gets to his feet, turns and takes a flying dropkick to the chest from Tommy who then goes for the pin. 1...2... Gerard again kicks out and Tommy looks to referee Mark Davis and has a few words for him.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Davis was fired once for biased officiating. I don't think he would be stupid enough to do it again, now that Vesuvius is completely out of the company.
Henry Lesher - He might be. I mean, they were stupid enough to hire him back.
Tommy stands Gerard up, whips him into the corner and then charges into a clothesline from Gerard. Gerard then gives Tommy a knee drop to the forehead and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Now it's Gerard's turn to berate the referee. Gerard then stands Tommy up, whips him off the ropes and then both men clothesline each other to the mat. Referee Davis starts counting them both down.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Both men holding nothing back in this one.
Henry Lesher - Gerard has nothing to hold back.
On the four count, Gerard rolls onto Tommy for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Gerard then gets to his hands and knees and Tommy kips up to his feet. Gerard stands and takes a series of punches to the jaw from Tommy that send him reeling into the corner. Tommy then gives Gerard a vertical suplex back to the center of the ring. Tommy then stands up and looks to the cheering crowd. Gerard gets to his feet, takes a series of knees to the gut and then gets the Tommyknocker and Tommy goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Tommy Purr is the new AW champion!
Sammy Jo Johnson - Ottawa goes wild. The fans are really in shock at this turn of events!
Henry Lesher - Finally, a champion we can all mastur..... see is a master of the ring.
Sammy Jo Johnson - What were you going to say?
Henry Lesher - It's about time Tommy became champ.
Sammy Jo Johnson - Well, that does it for Uprising and the event lived up to its name as we have some brand new champions upsetting the status quo around here! If Ricky's self-imposed exile continues, I might see you next week at Insurgence! Good night everybody!
The camera then freezes on a shot of Tommy Purr raising the AW title high above his head. Time will tell what a champion he will make.
