Shannon Skanes - Safe to say I owe you one.

Shelia Lavin - I am hoping you don't lose sight of that when calling Q's match tonight.

Shannon Skanes - I'm not calling the match crooked.

Shelia Lavin - I'm not asking you to. Just watch for Bombshell or any of the rest of that gong show that Tommy hangs around with.

Shannon Skanes - But it's no DQ.

Shelia Lavin - *nods* Yes, between two people.

Shannon Skanes - I'll do my best.

Shelia Lavin - See that you do.

Shannon whistles to himself as he then exits the office and we hear "Keine Lust" by Rammstein as we see images of Rated R, Nameless, Kosmic Kitty, Artifice, Tommy Purr with Bombshell, Demitri Lucian and Max Cameron before we head to ringside where Henry Lesher and Ricky Simms are all set to call the action. What catches our attention is that Snake and Gothic of Circus of Pain are already beating down PB FUBU with no help in sight.

Air Canada vs Circus of Pain

Ricky Simms - FUBU had the courage to come out here alone when Nikki Richter asked if Air Canada had the courage to get things started, but he's had no help here at all.

Henry Lesher - Lightning probably realized his partner sucks and went out for a drink. I know I would.

Snake stands FUBU up, whips him off the ropes and spears him to the mat and nods his head as Matt McNulty applauds from ringside. Nikki Richter is opposite McNulty and clearly COP feels they have everything well in hand as referee Mark Davis tries to maintain control. He also checks on FUBU and considers ending the match here. FUBU slowly gets to his feet as Snake tags Gothic into the ring. Gothic lands a series of punches to the face on FUBU. FUBU eye gouges Gothic and clotheslines him down only to take a big boot to the face from Snake before he then leaves the ring.

Ricky Simms - He just can't withstand an attack from both members of this team.

Henry Lesher - Because he sucks. Lightning was smart tonight. Mark that down. It may not happen again.

Gothic does jumping jacks over the fallen FUBU, then grabs him by the hair and stands him up. Gothic then gives FUBU a Rock Bottom and then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Circus of Pain with an easy win tonight in what became a handicap match.

Ricky Simms - Wow, Lightning is going to have some explaining to do when FUBU finds him.

Henry Lesher - He's at a bar. Maybe he went to another company? I would be hurt, but I'd get over it.

Ricky Simms - Stop that.

Henry Lesher - I can be really strong emotionally, you know.

As the victorious Circus of Pain makes their way as a group towards the backstage area, we look into the darkest recesses of the building where Salty Tom and Shengee Shmelky are with Scavenger. Scavenger is sitting in a stairwell and is looking down at the floor.

Shengee Shmelky - Scav, a moment?

Scavenger - Tonight I have made a decision. I have decided that my alliance with Vesuvius isn't enough for me. I need to hurt people, Shengee. Next week.... I return.

Shengee Shmelky - Why are you here in the dark?

Scavenger faces Shengee, no emotion in his eyes.

Scavenger - Sometimes.... it's all about the darkness. I'll show them all. It starts next week.

Shengee and Tom back away as Scavenger grabs at his hair and starts talking to himself in a language none of us understand. We then leave this surreal scene to return to the ring.

Sykotic Tendencies vs Antichrist

"Pipeyard Killings" by 2 Ton Predator begins to play as Demitri Lucian leads Jackson Rayge towards the ring, tonight being the debut match for the sick giant of a man under the control of the evil Lucian. As they reach the half way point to the ring, Sykotic Tendencies attacks Rayge with a chop block that brings him down to the floor and then rains down punches to the head on him.

Ricky Simms - Syko wasting no time here in his debut.

Henry Lesher - He must have heard Rayge's resume. He's such a sick and twisted man who Lucian is making into something better. It's inspiring.

Ricky Simms - If that resume is accurate, it's scary as hell.

Sykotic drags Rayge to ringside, shoving Lucian aside. Sykotic then stands Rayge up and DDTs him to the floor and gives the crowd a sadistic smile before he then rolls Rayge into the ring. Syko then turns to Lucian and has a few words for him, tilting his head sideways as he does so. He charges at Lucian and Lucian runs half way around the ring as Rayge gets to his feet inside the ring. Lucian rolls himself into the ring with Sykotic close behind. Sykotic gets to his feet and is greeted with a clothesline from Jackson Rayge that sends him over the top rope and down to the floor. Jackson then checks on Demitri Lucian and, certain he is okay, then rolls himself out of the ring where he puts the boots to Sykotic.

Ricky Simms - Jackson Rayge getting the advantage now as Syko allowed Lucian to become a distraction.

Henry Lesher - Lucian is a genius.

Ricky Simms - He didn't do anything.

Henry Lesher - Oh, he has done everything.

Lucian exits the ring and looks on approvingly as Rayge slams Syko face first into the guard railing. Rayge then picks Syko up and runs him face first into the steel corner post before then rolling him into the ring. Jackson enters the ring after that and referee Francis Clarke has a few words with him about such tactics. Rayge steps around Clarke, stands Syko up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a big boot as Syko ducks it and then pulls the feet out from under Rayge. Syko then applies an ankle lock submission hold on Rayge. Francis Clarke asks Rayge if he submits, but the bigger man refuses to do so and reaches for the ropes. Outside the ring, Lucian looks to be unconcerned. Rayge manages to roll himself over and kicks Syko off of him and into the corner buckle before then giving him a mule kick that winds Syko.

Ricky Simms - That hurt.

Henry Lesher - When you're as big as Jackson is, everything he does hurts.

Rayge uses the ropes to get to his feet where Syko thumbs him in the eye and then runs his eyes along the top rope. Syko then gives Rayge an over the head release suplex to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jackson Rayge. Syko turns to referee Clarke and clearly isn't impressed with the count. He then stands Jackson up, whips him into the corner and then misses with a spear when Jackson side steps it. Jackson then gives Syko a pump handle power slam to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Syko. Jackson Rayge looks to ringside at Lucian and Lucian seems to convey what he wants without actually uttering any words. Jackson nods, stands Syko up and then whips him over the top rope and all the way over the guard railing and into the crowd. As referee Francis Clarke tells Jackson off for such tactics, we see fellow Lucian follower Renske in the crowd laying a beating on Syko with a chair.

Ricky Simms - Sykotic was set up here.

Henry Lesher - Lucian is a genius.

Ricky Simms - Oh, enough of that.

Renske dumps Sykotic over the railing to ringside when Lucian applauds. Renske then disappears into the crowd as Rayge rolls himself out of the ring and stands the bloodied Syko up. Rayge slams Syko face first into the steel ring steps and then rolls him into the ring, the camera showing where a gash was opened up on Syko's forehead by Renske out of the referee's line of sight. Rayge enters the ring and looks out at Lucian again. Lucian nods. Rayge stands Syko up, knees him in the gut, double under hooks him and then gives him the Smasher/Devourer to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Jackson Rayge wins what appears to have been the second handicap match of the night.

Ricky Simms - The power Rayge has scares the hell out of me.

Henry Lesher - Next world champ right there. I'll pay to see him and Nameless do battle.

Jackson Rayge exits the ring and looks for approval from Lucian and Lucian nods. We then look backstage where Shawna Miller is with PB FUBU.

Shawna Miller - FUBU, you took a beating out there tonight. Where was Lightning?

PB FUBU - I haven't got a damned clue, but he some explaining to do.

Lightning then enters the shot.

Shawna Miller - Well, here's the man of the hour. Lightning, you left FUBU out there to take a beating from Circus of Pain tonight. Why?

Lightning - One cannot fight the darkness. It is everywhere.

PB FUBU - What the hell are you talking about? We had a match tonight!

Lightning - Tonight... every night.... the darkness grows. It will take over all. The time is coming.

Lightning then wanders off as FUBU looks baffled. Shawna sighs.

Shawna Miller - Looks like you need a new partner.

PB FUBU - I don't have time for this. I need to know what the hell is going on here.

FUBU walks off in pursuit of Lightning as we head back to the ring.

Max Cameron vs Rizz vs Artifice

"Her Portrait in Black" by Atreyu starts to play as Rizz is led by Bonnie out from the backstage area and into the spotlight of the AW ring. Rizz high fives fans along the way as they catcall Bonnie. Bonnie takes her place at ringside as Rizz jumps onto the apron and then steps into the ring. No sooner has he entered the ring than his music fades out and smoke begins to fill the ring. Rizz looks behind himself and then backs into a corner, aware that Artifice is entering the ring unseen. His belief is proven when the smoke starts to clear and the masked Artifice is standing in the corner opposite his. We then hear "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC and the crowd gives a mixed reaction to new Superior champion Max Cameron as Cameron Jacques, Malice and Aftermath lead him towards the ring. Max stops at ringside and hands his title belt to Malice who lays it over his massive shoulder. Max then steps up onto the apron and has a few words for his opponents only to take a clothesline from Rizz that sends him back down to the floor. Rizz then rolls out of the ring to attack the Superior champ only to have Aftermath and Cameron Jacques head him off.

Ricky Simms - Youthful Aggression are protecting Max Cameron here this week.

Henry Lesher - You know, the fact Max has a title shows how needy this place really is.

Rizz rolls himself into the ring rather than fight all of YA at once. Artifice takes a step towards Rizz as the debuting star gets to his feet. Rizz lands a series of punches to the gut on Artifice and then gives him a snap mare to the mat where he applies a front face lock on Artifice. Max Cameron rolls himself into the ring and referee Mark Davis calls for the bell to put this match in the books. Max Cameron gets to his feet and kicks Rizz in the back of the head, then stands him up, whips him off the ropes and ducks his head for a backdrop only to take a kick to the face from Rizz. Rizz then gives Max a standing dropkick that sends the Superior champion back out of the ring and to the floor where his stable is waiting to catch him. As they ask if Max is okay, Rizz stands Artifice up, whips him off the ropes and Artifice ducks a clothesline before then delivering one of his own to send Rizz to the mat. Artifice then leg drops Rizz across the throat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rizz as Max gets back into the ring. Max puts the boots to Artifice before he has a chance to get up and then tosses Artifice through the bottom and middle rope down to the floor. Max then stands Rizz up, whips him into the corner and misses with a clothesline there. Rizz rolls Max into a school boy pin fall attempt. 1...2... kick out by Max.

Ricky Simms - That was close as this match gets emotional fast.

Henry Lesher - Soap operas are emotional. Wrestling is supposed to be hatred.

Ricky Simms - Hatred is an emotion.

Henry Lesher - No, with wrestling it should be a way of life.

Rizz stands Max up, whips him off the ropes and Max ducks a clothesline and gives Rizz a reverse neck breaker to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rizz as Artifice rolls himself into the ring. Max stands Rizz up, whips him into the corner and gives him a sidewalk slam from there and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rizz. Artifice then headlocks Max and, before he has a chance to react, picks him up and delivers a spike DDT on the Superior champ and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Artifice scores an upset against Max! Cameron Jacques, Malice and Aftermath enter the ring and starts laying a beating on Artifice.

Ricky Simms - This is why YA gets barred from ringside.

Henry Lesher - They're far more impressive than the man leading them is.

We see Atticus Finch racing towards the ring with a chair in hand. He slides into the ring, gets to his feet and takes a Van Daminator from Aftermath, the chair crashing into his face. Aftermath then leg drops Atticus across the back of the neck as Malice sets for and delivers a splash across the back of Atticus. Cameron Jacques then grabs the chair and clubs Atticus across the back of the neck with it. They then help Max Cameron to his feet and hold the Superior title high, drawing the ire of the crowd.

Ricky Simms - They just destroyed Atticus there.

Henry Lesher - That was actually fun to watch.

Youthful Aggression leaves the ring, satisfied with the carnage they left behind even if Max took the loss this week. Rizz stands outside the ring with Bonnie, clearly glad he didn't get the worst of this mauling by YA this week. We then look backstage where Ray Dees is with Myst.

Ray Dees - Myst, you got a concussion as a result of the punishment you took at Battle of the Warriors, yet you're the Monarch of AW. Any comment on that?

Myst - You know, a lot of people were already using me as one to build their reputation off of. This isn't going to change, of course. I'll be fine.

Ray Dees - When might you be able to return to action?

Myst - I was medically cleared earlier today. I'll be in the ring as soon as next week.

Ray Dees - Rated R won the million. Do you have anything to say to him?

Myst - Yeah, he owes me half. If it wasn't for Nameless, that money would have been mine. I'll see him again in the ring.

Ray Dees - Thanks for your time.

Myst - Whatever.

She walks off and we return to the ring.

Daniel McCoy vs D.I.C.K.

"Tear In My Beer" by Hank Williams plays as Dwayne Irving Carter Kingston makes his way out. The crowd hasn't seen him before, but his behavior brings the heat. He lets out a southern scream and then flips them off. He then tips his cowboy hat to the camera while licking his lips. He then enters the ring and asks the crowd "where the wooly bully is at" and points to his crotch. He then tosses his cowboy hat out of the ring and tests the ropes as his music fades. We then hear "Delilah" by Mindset and the crowd cheers as Daniel McCoy races towards the ring on a dead run. Kingston smiles and motions McCoy into the ring and the two start trading punches as referee Steve Blake calls for the bell to get things underway.

Henry Lesher - I don't know why, but I really like this Kingston guy. He has a dueling banjos feel to him, you know?

Ricky Simms - I had a feeling you would like him.

Henry Lesher - More than I like you.

Ricky Simms - Thank God for that.

Kingston whips McCoy off the ropes and both men clothesline each other to the mat. They then both kip up to their feet. They circle each other, move in for a lock up and Kingston lands a knee lift on McCoy and then headlocks him before giving him a bulldog to the mat, a smile on his face. Kingston then gets to his feet and puts the boots to McCoy as Daniel rolls himself out of the ring to regroup. Kingston rolls himself out of the ring and pulls the mats away from the concrete before he then turns McCoy around and knees him in the gut. He picks McCoy up and body slams him onto the exposed concrete and then knees him in the ribs before standing him up and rolling him back into the ring. Kingston rolls himself into the ring as well and then goes for the pin on McCoy. 1...2... McCoy rolls a shoulder out.

Ricky Simms - McCoy was on a hunt for Vesuvius this week. He really wants some respect around here.

Henry Lesher - He might as well quit then, because he won't get it.

Kingston stands McCoy up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him to the mat. Kingston then quickly gets to his feet and leg drops McCoy across the throat. He then goes to the ropes, climbs to the second rope and lands a knee to the chest on McCoy from there. Kingston again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Daniel McCoy. Kingston stands McCoy up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a German suplex to the middle of the ring. Kingston then stands McCoy up again and smiles for the crowd, telling them he is set to end this. McCoy then delivers a series of knees to the gut on Kingston, backing him into the ropes. McCoy then gives Kingston a hip toss to the middle of the ring and then lands an elbow smash across the throat of Kingston before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kingston.

Ricky Simms - McCoy isn't rolling over for Kingston this week.

Henry Lesher - I'm sure there are plenty of guys around here who will, though.

McCoy stands Kingston up, whips him into the corner buckle and then dropkicks him in the back. Kingston then turns and takes a series of knife edge chops from McCoy before Daniel then arm drags Kingston to the mat, placing him in an arm bar. Kingston gets to his feet, reverses the arm bar and then kicks McCoy in the chest before then giving him an arm drag to the mat. Kingston then applies a side headlock. McCoy gets to his feet, backs Kingston into the corner and then whips him to the opposite corner. McCoy gives Kingston a monkey flip to the middle of the ring and then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. When he reaches the top, he raises his hands towards the roof and then executes a flying dropkick on a surprised Kingston. McCoy then goes for the pin only to have Kingston reverse it and hook the tights as he does so. 1...2...3! Kingston wins here with a hook of the tights!

Ricky Simms - Cheat for a win there from Kingston!

Henry Lesher - How many times must I say that a win is a win?

We see Shannon Skanes making his way to the ring, shaking his head. He rolls himself into the ring and raises the arm of Daniel McCoy. The other referee raises Kingston's arm and they start having words. As Shannon leans back to hit the referee, Kingston spears Shannon to the mat. Kingston tells him to keep his nose out of wooly bully's business or the wooly bully will take business to him. Kingston then rolls out of the ring with a smile on his face and heads towards the back, Daniel McCoy frustrated even more now by this result.

Backstage we see Myst exiting the building when Vesuvius heads her off.

Myst - Get out of my way.

Vesuvius - You won a title last week. You are required to fight every week. Shelia Lavin may have given you the week off, but I didn't.

Myst is then clubbed across the back of the head by Halloween Jack. She falls in a heap to the floor and Jack high fives Vesuvius. The two of them turn to walk away when they are attacked by a security guard who had been standing nearby. He drills Jack in the side of the head with a strong kick and then tackles Vesuvius down. When security rushes to pull the guard off of Vesuvius, we see that it's none other than Simon.

Simon - Guess who's here, Vesuvius?! You want to take shots at women?! Take a shot at me, you bastard! Come on, hero! Give me a shot!

Security drags Simon away as Jack and Vesuvius try to collect themselves. Myst is still down on the floor and hasn't moved.

Hoshi Yakamoto vs 6Pac Dudley

"Southtown" by POD plays as 6Pac Dudley makes his way towards the ring, the crowd giving him a decent pop as he does so. He tells the camera he is about to take the Asian Sensation down and then he jumps onto the apron before somersaulting over the top rope and into the ring. He then poses on the second rope for the crowd as his music fades. We then hear "Surfing With the Alien" by Joe Satriani and Hoshi Yakamoto is walked to the ring by Bart Phillips. She holds her Xtreme title high for the crowd to see and high fives fans as she makes her way around the ring for a full lap before making her way up the ring steps and onto the apron. She then hands her title belt to Bart and steps through the ropes into the ring. Referee Francis Clarke calls for the bell and the match is underway.

Ricky Simms - Two popular wrestler squaring off here in a non title match up.

Henry Lesher - Two people I really don't care about. This is going to make me want to punch old people in the face.

Ricky Simms - That's not funny.

Henry Lesher - I never said I was trying to be funny.

Hoshi and 6Pac circle each other. They lock up and 6Pac shoves her into the corner and then gives her a belly to belly overhead suplex out of it. 6Pac then holds her down in a back bridge for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. 6Pac stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a knee to the gut, sending her somersaulting through the air before she lands hard on the mat. 6Pac then applies a sleeper hold on Hoshi. The crowd starts a chant for her as 6Pac tightens his hands around her head and neck.

Ricky Simms - Dudley with the quick start here.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, but it's against nobody.

Hoshi's arm is raised and falls once. It is raised a second time and it drops again. He raises it a third time, but this time it stays raised and Hoshi then reaches out and grabs the ropes to force the break. Hoshi then pulls herself out of the ring to regroup. 6Pac then pulls himself out of the ring and comes face to face with Bart Phillips. 6Pac takes a swing at Bart, but Phillips ducks it. Hoshi then trips the feet out from underneath 6Pac Dudley. Hoshi then rolls herself back into the ring and then poses on the second rope and receives a loud ovation from the crowd. 6Pac then uses the apron to get to his feet and then rolls himself into the ring where Hoshi greets him with a rolling thunder. Hoshi then stands 6Pac up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a dropkick in the corner. Hoshi then gives 6Pac a bulldog from there and then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by 6Pac Dudley.

Ricky Simms - After a slow start, Hoshi is really taking it to Dudley.

Henry Lesher - I still manage not to care.

Hoshi stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and 6Pac ducks a clothesline and then gives Hoshi a clothesline to the mat followed by a leg drop across the throat. 6Pac then goes to the ropes, makes his way to the top and then lands a knee drop to the chest on Hoshi from there before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. 6Pac argues with the referee on the speed of his count, then stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and dropkicks her to the mat. 6Pac then makes his way to the top rope again. He leaps off the top for a head butt onto the downed Hoshi only to have her roll out of the way and he hits the mat head first. Hoshi then gets to her feet, then makes her way to the top rope. 6Pac gets to his feet, turns and takes a shoulder block off the top from Hoshi who then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Hoshi grabs the win over 6Pac this week!

Ricky Simms - Big win for Hoshi here this week.

Henry Lesher - If you say so. Let's move on.

Hoshi quickly leaves the ring and makes her way to the back, embracing Bart Phillips as she walks. We then look backstage and see Vesuvius in his office with an ice pack against his forehead. Shannon Skanes enters the office and doesn't look impressed.

Vesuvius - What the hell do you want?

Shannon Skanes - You know what, Vesuvius? You had better call your goon Jack off of his crusade here. If he ever touches my wife again, I'll kill him.

Vesuvius - Death threat on TV? I could fire you for that.

Shannon Skanes - Be a wise ass all you want. Keep him away from her.

Vesuvius - Get Simon away from my damned show.

Shannon Skanes - *smiles* I have nothing to do with that. You'll have to handle that on your own, big man.

Tommy Purr vs Q

"Battle Without Honor Or Humanity" starts to play as Q makes his way towards the ring. From backstage we see Tommy Purr coming out with a length of chain. He wraps it around Q's throat and starts choking him with it. Moments later, Shannon Skanes comes out to call the match and gives the signal for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Hardcore rules here. Falls count anywhere!

Henry Lesher - Now we're talking. I sat through ages of crap to get to this.

Q manages to grabs Tommy around the head and snap mares him to the floor to break the choke. Q then tries to catch his breath while he wraps the chain around his fist and then clocks Tommy in the forehead with it and then goes for the pin on the floor. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Q then wraps the chain around the feet of Tommy, ties it off as well as he can and then drags him to ringside where he cinches the chain to the guard railing. Q then lifts the apron and pulls out a crow bar. He drives it into the ribs of Tommy Purr as we see Bombshell racing out from the back with a chair in hand. She clocks Q with the chair and that's when referee Shannon pulls the chair away from her and orders her away from ringside. A now bloodied Q leans back against the apron as Purr untangles his feet from the chain and then starts getting up to a standing position. Bombshell retreats towards the back and Shannon tosses the chair aside. Q grabs Tommy by the hair, but Tommy lands a low blow and turns the tide in the match. Tommy then slams Q's forehead against the guard railing. Tommy then picks Q up and body slams him onto the floor. Tommy goes for the pin. 1...2... Q rolls a shoulder out. We see Bombshell is still standing in the aisle, not heading to the back as ordered.

Ricky Simms - Bombshell lurking about here.

Henry Lesher - She wants to watch the best wrestler in AW up close. I don't blame her there.

Tommy stands Q up and tries for a whip into the steel corner post, but Q stops himself and reverses it, sending Tommy shoulder first into the steel corner post. Q then picks Tommy up and power bombs him on the floor and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy and Q shakes his head. He exchanges a glance with Shannon and then stands Tommy up. Q chucks Tommy over the railing and into the front row of the crowd. Q then reaches under the apron and pulls out a trash can. He readies to slam Tommy over the head with it only to have Bombshell hit him across the back of the head with the same chair she used earlier. Shannon then gives her a round house kick that sends her into the steel corner post and then DDTs her to the floor. Tommy Purr has used this distraction, got to his feet and launches himself over the railing and spears Q into the apron and then gives him a brain buster on the floor and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Tommy Purr grabs the win with a heavy assist from Bombshell. Shannon raises Tommy's arm in victory, then knees him in the ribs and DDTs him onto the floor. Shannon then starts for the back, shaking his head.

Ricky Simms - Shannon just couldn't get Bombshell out of there.

Henry Lesher - No one is as smart as Tommy or Bombshell. Face facts, Rick.

Backstage we see Thibor Dragosani stepping into Vesuvius' office. Security guards are in there with him.

Thibor Dragosani - Wanted to see me?

Vesuvius - I am really disappointed in your performance here in AW. Come back when you know what you're doing.

Thibor Dragosani - Pardon?

Vesuvius - You heard me. *to the security guards* Take him away.

The guards swarm Thibor and start dragging him out. As they do, Simon turns and leaps over the desk and clotheslines Vesuvius to the floor. He's once again dressed as a security guard and now security has to keep Thibor under control as well as pull Simon off of their boss. Scavenger is then seen in the doorway shaking his head. He simply turns and exits without lifting a finger to help anyone here.

Rated R vs Halloween Jack

"Survival of the Sickest" by Saliva plays as Halloween Jack comes out to the loudest of the negative reactions tonight. He is wearing diamond encrusted sunglasses as he makes his way towards the ring. He then pulls himself onto the apron, removes his sunglasses and then steps into the ring.

Ricky Simms - Jack may not have won the million, but he made the finals and then won a hundred grand after that.

Henry Lesher - He could be the next champ.

Ricky Simms - I thought you said Jackson Rayge was the next champion.

Henry Lesher - Oh, flip a coin.

As Jack does jumping jacks inside the ring, we hear the opening chords of "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R appears from the crowd. He slides into the ring behind Jack, pulls his feet out from under him and then starts slamming his head into the mat as the crowd cheers Rated R on. Rated R then chokes Jack as referee Mark Davis counts towards a possible DQ. Rated R releases the choke, stands Jack up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a knife edge chop that echoes to the rafters. Rated R then places Jack's throat over the top rope and chokes him with it as the referee again counts towards a possible DQ. Rated R releases the choke, whips Jack to the opposite corner and then gives him a German suplex from there. Rated R then gets to his feet and stands over Jack, spitting on him. Rated R then puts the boots to him as Jack slinks out of the ring and signals for a time out. Rated R exits the ring and takes a thumb to the eye from Jack who then picks Rated R up and dumps him onto the Spanish announce table. Jack then climbs onto the apron and then lands a leg drop across the throat of Rated R that sends him through the table and down to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Rated R won that million dollars last week and that means he gets the next shot at Nameless.

Henry Lesher - Which he will lose. He's not the old Rated R.

Ricky Simms - I don't know. He isn't playing to the fans and he isn't playing by the rules either.

Henry Lesher - He's not the old Rated R. I speak only truth.

Jack stands Rated R up and rolls him into the ring and then rolls himself into the ring, avoiding the count out. Jack then casually goes for the pin on Rated R. 1...2... Rated R gets a foot on the bottom rope. Jack shakes his head and has a few words with referee Mark Davis who insists that it was only a two count. Jack stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and then both men clothesline each other to the mat. Referee Mark Davis then starts counting both men down as the crowd starts a chant for Rated R. On the three count, Halloween Jack rolls himself onto Rated R for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Jack then slowly pulls himself to his feet as Rated R rolls to the ropes and starts pulling himself up as well. Halloween Jack waits for Rated R to turn and then gives him a low blow right in front of the referee. Mark Davis calls for the bell as Halloween Jack gives Rated R the Pumpkin Bomb and then stands him up and gives him a second Pumpkin Bomb, the crowd booing the loudest we have heard all night.

Ricky Simms - Jack intentionally got disqualified. Apparently he is sending Rated R a message tonight.

Halloween Jack applies an STF on the fallen Rated R as Vesuvius appears on the big screen with a smile on his face.

Vesuvius - Ryan, you get the title shot at the next pay per view. I am proud to call you the number one contender for Bloodshed. The great part is, I intend to destroy you every week from now until then. It will take all of your million bucks to undo the damage I create.

Ricky Simms - My God, Rated R getting broken in half by Jack here tonight and Vesuvius says this is just the beginning! That's it for Assault this week. Tune in again next week fans for more excitement!

Henry Lesher - I am really warming to Vesuvius again.

We fade to black on a psychotic Halloween Jack with an out cold Rated R in the STF.
