Joe Louis Arena is buzzing with anticipation of tonight's Valentine's edition of Overdrive. They erupt when, instead of the usual opening music, we instead hear "Rock Superstar" by Cypress Hill and the lights dim throughout the building. However, after a few moments, we see a laughing Hector Braun on his way to the ring instead of the man that the crowd anticipated. He steps onto the apron and into the ring and shakes his head before he begins to speak.

Hector Braun - You people crack me up. You know, I thought it was funny when I pretended Vig was coming out, but pretending Weapon is coming out is just as fun. Now, this is Valentine's Day and, as such, we are celebrating. We are...

"Somebody Told Me" by The Killers plays and Wyatt Gibson starts making his way to the ring as the crowd cheers him on. He has roses in one hand and a heart-shaped box of chocolates in the other. He steps up onto the apron and into the ring and then stands nose to nsoe with Hector for a few tense moments before he grabs the microphone.

Wyatt Gibson - Though standing inside the ring with a man who once tried to have me fired, I am still moved enough to state a fact. I haven't been on camera much these past few months and yet a drama has played itself out before our eyes as Kosmic Kitty, the darling of the GWO, has changed thanks to the incompetent, impotent, overrated and clearly overmatches Stevie James. Kitty was hurt and tonight, in honor of this occasion, I am here to tell her there is a man in the GWO who would treat her right and it's me.

"Rumors" by Lindsay Lohan plays as Kosmic Kitty comes out from the back to a standing ovation from this crowd, many of whom have T-shirts on that praise her. She wastes no time running down to the ring and sliding under the bottom rope, then jumping to her feet. She stands face to face with Wyatt. A tear runs down her cheek. She reaches out for the roses. He smiles as she takes them. She looks at them and, as she reaches out for the chocolates, she kicks him below the belt and then slaps him across the face with his roses before she gives him a roundhouse kick to the side of the head. She throws the roses down on the mat and then stomps on the box of chocolates as well. Kitty then leaves the ring with a more mixed reaction from the crowd now. We then head to the usual opening as "Sucked In" by Jerk plays and we see pictures of Myst, Shannon Skanes, Youthful Aggression, Dying Breed, Sal Clemenzo and the VWA wrestlers all posed together before we head to ringside where Henry Lesher is joined this week by Shawna Miller.

"Headsprung" by LL Cool J plays as Jake and Matt make their way to the ring wearing old CWA T-shirts that were Shannon Skanes and Bruce Miller ones as well. Of course, they crossed all of that out with a big red x in spray paint. They pull the shirts off, wipe their noses with them and then toss them into the crowd. They step up onto the apron and then into the ring where they then await their opponents for tonight. "Blaze of Glory" by Jon Bon Jovi plays as Shannon Skanes and Bruce Miller make their way out from the back. Neither man looks impressed as they stroll down the ramp to the ring where Beyond Control is already mocking them and asking which hip they want replaced after the match. Shannon jumps up onto the apron first and he has a few words with Jake Evans. Evans takes a swing at Shannon and Shannon jumps back off the apron to avoid it. Shannon and Bruce then talk strategy from outside the ring for a few moments as Beyond Control head to their corner and opt to have Matt Classic start this match. Bruce steps through the ropes a few moments later and the bell sounds to get things underway.

Shawna Miller - This is great, being at ringside to watch my man inside the ring.

Henry Lesher - Usually I accept whoever they send out to sit with me, but I have heard you're pretty vacuous so I don't see why you would be out here unless it's those mammaries you possess. They should have given me Q or Shelia Lavin or Dante or maybe a furry kitten.

Bruce locks up with Matt. Matt backs Bruce into the ropes. The ref asks for a clean break, but doesn't get it from Bruce who raises a knee to the gut on Matt and then Bruce gives him a series of forearm smashes to the side of the head before setting him for and delivering a vertical suplex on the former GWO tag champion. Bruce then gives Matt a knee drop to the forehead and then goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Matt Classic. Bruce then pulls Matt to his side of the ring and then tags in Shannon. Shannon steps into the ring and gives Matt a series of kicks to the ribs as Bruce holds his arm up. Bruce then steps out of the ring as Shannon applies an arm bar. Matt lands a knife edge chop to the throat on Shannon, then whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him to the mat. Matt Classic then rolls to his corner and tags in Jake Evans. Evans jumps to the top rope and lands a flying headscissors takedown on Shannon from there. Jake then quickly gets to his feet and gives Shannon an elbow smash across the chest and then Jake goes for the pin, his feet on the ropes. The referee spots the feet on the ropes and refuses to count the pin. Jake denies he was doing that as he pulls Shannon to his feet, then whips him into the corner and gives him a German suplex out of it. Jake then goes for the pin without a foot on the ropes. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out.

Henry Lesher - This might be the longest stretch of time he has been inside the ring without getting injured in months. Of course, at his age, you have to expect that.

Shawna Miller - Just wait for it. They are going to show the world what they're made of.

Jake stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a spinning heel kick to the chest. Jake then tags in Matt Classic who climbs to the top rope and goes for a five star frog splash from there only to find no one home when he hits the mat. Shannon rolls to his corner and tags in Bruce Miller. Bruce steps through the ropes and lays the boots to Matt Classic. Bruce then stands Matt up and whips him off the ropes and shoulder blocks him to the mat. Bruce then rolls Matt over and applies a Boston Crab on Matt Classic. Bruce leans back as Matt struggles not to submit here. His pain is short lives as Jake Evans enters the ring and kicks Bruce in the head twice to break the hold. The referee then sends Jake back to his corner as Bruce stands Matt up. Bruce whips Matt Classic into the corner and then gives him a belly to belly suplex out of it and goes for the pin. 1...2... Matt manages to kick out. On the apron, Shannon calls for the tag. As he does, a man emerges through the crowd, leaps over the guard railing and then pulls Shannon off the apron and then slams his head into the corner post. The mystery man then picks Shannon up and gives him a body slam to the floor. The camera then is able to capture a shot of his face and it's Halloween Jack.

Shawna Miller - What the hell is he doing out here?

Henry Lesher - I would say he is sending a message about next week.

Bruce goes to his corner to make the tag and finds no one there, then spots Shannon virtually motionless on the floor. He leans through the ropes and calls out to his partner as Jake smiles behind him. Jake Evans, freshly tagged in by Matt Classic, rolls Bruce up from behind, complete with a handful of tights. 1...2...3! Beyond Control are the winners. As Jake and Matt high five each other, we see Bruce exiting the ring and Kathy Smith racing in from the back. Shawna Miller scowls upon seeing Kathy and she leaves her broadcast position.

Henry Lesher - First match and my partner leaves, gotta be a new record.

Shawna heads off Kathy and tells her to stay out of this. Kathy looks innocent to her charges. Shawna calls Kathy a homewrecker. Kathy slaps Shawna across the face and then the brawl is on. The two ladies fight as Beyond Control stays half way up the ramp to cheer them on, telling them to kill each other. Security starts to come in from the back to break things up as Bruce Miller checks on Shannon, unaware of what his wife is up to. We then head backstage where we see Boomshakalaka with Ray Dees.

Ray Dees - Boom, tonight you are in a Weapons of Choice match against some dangerous people. Any fear going into this one?

Boomshalkalaka - What would I have to be afraid of?

Leech steps into the shot with a brown paper bag in his right hand.

Leech - Be afraid of what I have in my hand here. This weapon will end the match quick.

Ray takes a whiff of whatever is in the bag and proceeds to pass out. Boom steps back as Leech opens the bag and smiles at what's inside of it. We then head back to the ring.

"Hell's Bells" by AC/DC plays as Max Cameron makes his way to the ring, drawing the ire of the fans. He has a few words with one fan in the front row once he reaches the bottom of the ramp. He then steps up onto the apron, into the ring and there he waits. "Hell's Bells" is replaced by "Back In Black" and Thor comes out to the ring, bringing the fans to their feet. Thor looks into the ring at Max and shakes his head, then steps up onto the apron and then into the ring. The bell sounds as Max charges at Thor and the two of them exchange rights and lefts to the head. Thor whips Max off the ropes, then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Thor then boot chokes Max in the ropes. Thor releases the choke before the ref can reach a disqualification count. Thor then stands Max up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a big boot to the chest that sends him back to the mat. Thor then climbs to the second rope, waits for Max to stand and goes for the double axe handle. Max ducks that and gives Thor a knee to the gut and then a reverse neckbreaker. Max then gets to his feet and he takes his turn boot choking Thor in the ropes. Max then stands Thor up, whips him into the corner buckle and then backdrops him out of it to the mat.

Henry Lesher - Why must I sit through drivel like this before seeing Leech?

There is, of course, no one next to Lesher to talk back. Max lands a leg drop across the throat of Thor and then stands him up, whips him off the ropes and then clotheslines him to the mat. Max then goes for the quick pin. 1...2... Thor manages to kick out. Max again stands Thor up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a sidewalk slam out of it to the mat. Max then heads to the ropes and makes his way to the top. Thor stands, turns and takes a flying body press to the mat from Max who again goes for the pin. 1...2... Thor manages to roll a shoulder out in time. Max then stands Thor up again, whips him off the ropes and Thor ducks a clothesline before kneeing Max in the gut and then giving him a DDT to the mat where Thor then goes for the pin. 1...2... Max gets a foot on the bottom rope. Thor then rolls Max out of the ring and follows him out. Thor stands Max up on the floor and whips him shoulder first into the steel corner post. Thor then gives him a German suplex on the floor.

Henry Lesher - If this match stayed outside the ring or involved a lot of cheating, it might get my interest.

Thor stands Max up and rolls him into the ring. Thor then rolls himself into the ring and goes for the pin on Max. 1...2... Max manages to roll a shoulder out. Thor then stands Max up, whips him off the ropes and Max ducks a big boot from Thor. Max then gives Thor a fallaway slam to the mat. Max then stands Thor up and delivers the Maximum Impact on him and then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2...3! Max Cameron gets the victory over Thor.

Henry Lesher - This is when Ricky or Shannon would blubber on about how important a win this week's was for Max. Of course, that is because they prattle on like idiots.

Max leaves the ring and nods as his music plays and the crowd boos more loudly now than they did when he came to the ring initially. We then look backstage where new signee The Barber is all smiles with Kelly Buchanan.

Kelly Buchanan - Barber, next week you say you're all set to make a GWO debut?

The Barber - I gotta tell ya, it sure is great to be in the GWO, the big time. I am set to debut in that ring and remind people what wrestling is meant to be about.

Gerard Angelo - *as he walks through* Bad hair?

The Barber - What the...?

Kelly Buchanan - That's Gerard Angelo. He is going for the Canadian title next week.

The Barber - Good for him. Maybe the week after he can make some snide remarks inside the ring with me.

Barber heads off shaking his head as we head back to the ring for more action.

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails plays as Xandra comes to the ring in a black bra and black panties much to the delights of the male fans in the front rows. Xandra is accompanied to the ring by Vesuvius who has a few words with a few fans in the front row. Xandra steps into the ring as her music fades and "Halls of Fear" by Nino Rota plays and Serena Marcelli makes her way to the ring with Sal Clemenzo close behind her. She is clad in a pink bra and panty set for this match up tonight. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and Vesuvius and Sal Clemenzo have a few words outside the ring. Inside the ring, Xandra picks Serena up and body slams her to the mat. Xandra then knee drops Serena in the stomach. We then see Tanya Whitmore running to the ring with a white bra and red thong on. She jumps onto the apron as Sentinel gets in between Sal and Vesuvius and the three of them start arguing. Whitemore rams Serena and Xandra's heads together, then whips Xandra into the corner buckle. Serena chop blocks Tanya down, then takes a boot to the face from Xandra. Xandra then lands a series of kicks to the back on Tanya, sending her out of the ring to the floor. Serena then gets to her feet and gives Xandra an inverted atomic drop. Serena then headbutts Xandra and then clotheslines her over the top rope to the floor.

Henry Lesher - I would love to make some form of comment, but I comment on wrestling and this isn't it.

Serena stands Xandra up, whips her into the corner and then charges in shoulder first. Xandra moves out of the way and then gives Serena a body slam out of it. Xandra then goes to the ropes, climbs to the second rope and then lands a leg drop across the chest of Serena. Xandra stands Serena up as Tanya Whitmore rolls herself into the ring. Xandra whips Serena off the ropes and dropkicks her to the mat. Tanya gets to her feet and she lands a dropkick on Xandra that sends her through the ropes to the floor. Tanya then headlocks Serena and lands a bulldog on her and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Serena. Tanya stands Serena up, whips her off the ropes and hip tosses her to the mat. Xandra gets to her feet and snarls at Tanya Whitmore inside the ring. Xandra rolls herself into the ring and grabs the back of Tanya's bra and shakes her violently back and forward with it, then turns her around and thumbs her in the eye before giving her a DDT to the mat. Xandra then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Xandra pulls off the win here. Outside the ring, Sal Clemenzo jumps onto the apron and protests that call. Sentinel pulls Sal off the apron. Vesuvius drills Sentinel in the back of the head with a chair. Inside the ring, Xandra has her arms raised in victory when Serena dropkicks her in the back.

Henry Lesher - It was almost interesting in the end.

Tanya gets to her feet, but Serena lands a jawbreaker on her. Serena then rolls herself out of the ring where Sal Clemenzo is waiting for her. Xandra gets to her feet, turns to Tanya inside the ring and knees her in the chest. Sentinel rolls himself into the ring and pulls Xandra off of Tanya by the hair. Vesuvius rolls himself into the ring, grabs Sentinel around the back of the throat, then knees him in the back as security fills the ring.

Henry Lesher - If we could lose the females in the ring, this would turn interesting.

As they are pulled out of the ring, Xandra gets her hands on Tanya again. From within the throng of people, Xandra is suddenly holding Tanya's bra high as some nearby whistle and catcall. They are then rushed to the back as we look backstage and see Shawna Miller with Ray Dees.

Ray Dees - Shawna, you attacked Kathy tonight and we are all wondering why.

Shawna Miller - It's not enough that Kathy ruined Shannon's marriage? It's not enough she is destroying Myst's career? She has to keep coming out here and sticking her nose where it doesn't belong!

Ray Dees - You have some strong feelings on the matter then.

Shawna Miller - I have had issues with Kathy for years. This is nothing new. Next week at Malicious Intent, I challenge Kathy to a falls count anywhere match. Let's see what that bitch has to offer.

Ray stands speechless as Shawna walks away and we head to our next match.

"Gimme" by Alice Cooper plays as Nikki Alexander makes her way to the ring to a very mixed reaction from a crowd that isn't certain how to take her at this point. She reaches ringside and looks up at the bright lights and into the ring for a few moments before she pulls herself onto the apron. As she steps into the ring, we hear "Gold Dust Woman" by Hole and Kathy Smith makes her way to the ring. Kathy wastes no time running down the ramp and sliding into the ring where she then gets into a fistfight with Nikki. As they brawl it out, "Jenny" by The Killers plays as Madison Ali makes her way to the ring. She smiles as she sees Kathy and Nikki brawling. Kathy clotheslines Nikki over the top rope to the floor and then looks out at Madison Ali. Madison pulls herself onto the apron and the ducks a right hook from Kathy. Madison shoulder blocks Kathy through the ropes and then Madison steps into the ring as Nikki pulls herself back inside under the bottom rope. Madison gives Kathy a side Russian leg sweep. Madison then stands and takes a shoulder tackle from Nikki into the corner buckle. Nikki then gives Madison a monkey flip to the center of the ring and right onto the fallen Kathy Smith. Nikki then places Madison into a Boston Crab and leans back in it as Kathy uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet.

Henry Lesher - There sure is a lot of cheese in tonight's show.

Ricky Simms - *as he steps over the guard railing and takes a seat next to Lesher* Yeah, you've been cheesier than normal.

Henry Lesher - Wow, it's the in ring flop.

Madison fights to get to the ropes, but her efforts prove to be unnecessary as Kathy dropkicks Nikki in the back, breaking the hold. Kathy then picks Nikki up and tosses her over the top rope and to the floor. Kathy then stands Madison up, whips her off the ropes and backdrops her to the mat. Kathy then goes for a knee drop only to have Madison roll out of the way. Madison then uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet and then she places Kathy in a standing side headlock as Nikki rolls herself into the ring. Kathy whips Madison off the ropes to break the hold. Nikki lands a spinning heel kick on Madison that sends her to the mat and then Nikki sweeps the feet out from under Kathy. Nikki then lands an elbowsmash across the throat on Kathy and goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Kathy Smith.

Ricky Simms - You're not going to pin her with a simple elbow smash.

Henry Lesher - True, but I hear she likes being pinned by other women more than men.

Nikki stands Kathy up, whips her off the ropes and dropkicks her to the mat. Madison then lands a superkick to the jaw on Nikki and then follows that up with a leg drop across Kathy's throat. Nikki then rolls Madison up for the pin from behind. 1...2... Madison manages to kick out. Nikki then stands Madison up, whips her off the ropes and spears her to the mat. Nikki then stands over Madison and takes a superkick from Kathy that sends her over the top rope and to the floor. Shawna Miller is then seen running in from the back with a chair in her hand. Kathy has a few words with her, then Madison rolls her into a school boy pinfall attempt. 1...2...3! Madison Ali pulls off the win here this week, with a small aid by Shawna Miller who is seen smiling at ringside.

Ricky Simms - Shawna wasn't lying backstage. She and Samantha Johnson had the biggest feuds with Kathy of anyone in the old CWA.

Henry Lesher - I really couldn't care less.

As Madison rolls out of the ring and celebrates her win this week, the big screen fades to show the outside of a fancy hotel in down-town Detroit. That simple establishing shot fades, to show what must be the hallway outside a room in the hotel. Here we see two men, dressed all in black, and wearing ski-masks. One draws out a gun, while the other knocks on the door. From inside we hear a muffled voice.

"Hello?"

The man with the gun answers.

"Room service."

"I didn't order room service."

"It was placed by one Rated R, and maam it seems to be a Valentine's Day gift of some sort." "Oh really, just a second."

A few seconds pass, and the door opens to reveal Crystal, girlfriend of Rated R. Before she can utter more than a gasp of surprise, the man with the gun shoots her. Thankfully he used nothing more than a dart-gun, and after stumbling back, the lovely lady falls to the ground unconcious. The man without the gun, lifts up a large duffel bag, unseen before this, and enters the room followed by his partner.

The screen fades out.

"Unforgiven" by Metallica plays as The Iceman leads Frostbite and Jess Bollinger down the aisle to the ring. They receive, at best, a lukewarm reception from the capacity crowd. The three of them step up onto the apron together and then step through the ropes before looking back to the ramp for the entrance of their opponents. "New Age Messiah" by Sentenced plays as Jonny Richter makes his way to the ring, Havok and Deacon close behind him. Deacon and Richter discuss strategy as Havok steps up onto the apron. Havok steps into the ring as Jess Bollinger is elected to start for State of Emergency. The bell sounds and the two men lock up. Havok knees Jess in the gut. Jess responds with a headbutt on Havok, then whips him into the corner buckle where he then gives Havok a series of kicks to the gut. Jess then snap mares Havok to the center of the ring where he places him in a front facelock. Havok grabs Jess' right arm and arm drags him to the mat and then tags in Deacon. Deacon steps through the ropes and starts putting the boots to Jess. Deacon then applies an ankle lock submission hold, but Jess immediately pulls his way to the ropes to force the break.

Ricky Simms - No one with a clear advantage yet.

Henry Lesher - Agreed, they appear to suck equally.

Deacon stands Bollinger up, whips him off the ropes and ducks his head for a backdrop. Jess then kicks Deacon in the face and pulls him to his corner where he tags in Frostbite. Frostbite steps through the ropes and picks Deacon up and body slams him to the mat. Frostbite then stands Deacon up and whips him through the ropes to the floor. Frostbite then slides under the bottom rope to the floor and grabs Deacon by the hair, stands him up and takes a thumb to the eye. Deacon then tosses Frostbite, shoulder first, into the steel ring steps. Deacon then rolls himself into the ring and then taunts Bollinger and Iceman as Frostbite slowly gets to his feet on the floor. Deacon then does a baseball slide into a dropkick to the chest on Frostbite before he has a chance to re-enter the ring. Deacon then stands him up rolls him into the ring and then enters the ring himself and goes for the pin. 1...2... Frostbite gets a foot on the rope.

Ricky Simms - Deacon might have won it there if not for the ropes.

Henry Lesher - It all has to do with how much both teams suck.

Deacon stands Frostbite up and pulls him to his corner where he tags in Jonny Richter. Richter enters the ring and picks Frostbite up and body slams him to the mat. Richter then gives him a leg drop across the throat and tries for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Frostbite. Richter stands Frostbite up, whips him off the ropes and Frostbite ducks a clothesline and then dropkicks Richter to the mat. Frostbite then scrambles to his corner and tags in The Iceman. Iceman enters the ring and backdrops a charging Richter, then spears a charging Deacon and backdrops Havok as he charges into the ring. Iceman then picks Richter up over his shoulder and power slams him to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... Deacon pulls Iceman off of Richter. Frostbite and Bollinger charge into the ring as it becomes clear that the referee has lost all control of this match. We then see Parker and a man we haven't seen in GWO circles before sliding into the ring to attack State of Emergency.

Ricky Simms - That's Deraneo!

Henry Lesher - I'll have to take your word on that since I don't know what one looks like.

Ricky Simms - Another VWA alumni enters the fray here. Parker is taking out his frustrations on Frostbite here as we have no control inside the ring!

The ref spots the intruders in this match and calls for the bell, disqualifying the VWA team and giving the win to State of Emergency. However, Deraneo, Parker, Deacon, Havok and Jonny Richter have cleared the ring and they all appear to be quite pleased with themselves. This is when "Money" by Pink Floyd plays and Hector Braun comes out.

Hector Braun - You know, I find this hilarious. I really do. You idiots from the dead territory demand respect and pull this? Next week, Frostbite and Iceman get the tag team title shots against Thunder Storme and Canadian Carnage. Enjoy the fact your little stable is not permitted tag title shots for the next two months, if you last that long.

The crowd cheers Hector as his music starts up again and he shakes his head as he heads for the back. The big screen once again fades to the back. We see Sal seated in his and Serena's locker-room. The two lovers are in the midst of a discussion, when there is a knock at the door. Before Sal can answer Guido enters.

"Hey Sal."

"Yeah Guido?"

"That package has arrived."

"Good."

Dollface looks at Sal quizically.

"Package?"

"Yeah."

"What is it?"

"You'll see. Guido, have the boys bring it in."

"Duality" by Slipknot plays as Austin and Devanshi make their way down the ramp. He makes his way into the ring, and Devanshi grabs the mic and hands it to Austin. The boos are intact.

Austin Fierro - Boo me...F**k you. I bet you thought last week was real funny, you think Rated R got the best of me, and that he's my "Moose", the one my father couldn't beat. I don't need to remind you how I got this title, and who I won it off of. This is my time damn it!

"I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace plays and Rated R makes his way out onto the stage.

Rated R - What's all this Austin? Why whine and complain about this, I'm simply better than you.

Austin stands on the turnbuckle.

Austin Fierro - Why don't you come down here and say that?

Rated R unbuttons his shirt and walks down the ramp. He slides into the ring, and Austin gets into Rated R's face. Rated R distracted Devanshi sneaks her way behind him. She hits him with a lowblow and Rated R falls to the mat. Austin picks up the mic and lays down shouting at him.

Austin Fierro - It isn't over Ryan...It isn't over until I say it's over!

Youthful Aggression head down the ramp and Devanshi pulls at Austin, telling him who's coming they make their way out through the crowd.

Henry Lesher - Don't build that up and then not give me my finish.

"Weapon Of Choice" by Fatboy Slim plays as Hector Braun dances his way to the ring, now wearing a referee's shirt over his usual black three piece suit. Behind him security is bringing out the weapons for use in this match, a tazer, a cattle prod, a table and a brown paper bag which contains Leech's weapon that appears to be causing the security guard carrying to have the urge to vomit. Hector steps into the ring as the music fades and Leech, Boomshakalaka, Gerard Angelo and Sentinel make their way to the ring. Once all four have stepped through the ropes, the bell sounds and each is free to use their weapon. Sentinel starts trading punches with Boom as Leech does the same with Gerard. Leech headbutts Gerard into the corner as Boom picks up his cattle prod and jabs at Sentinel who dodges it and then gives Boom a Rock Bottom to the mat, causing the ring to shake.

Ricky Simms - I had really hoped Leech was kidding about the dead cat thing.

Henry Lesher - I admire that kind of creativity in a match like this.

Sentinel grabs Boom around the throat as Leech takes a clothesline over the top rope from Gerard Angelo. Sentinel choke slams Boom through the table as Gerard then grabs Sentinel in a headlock and bulldogs him onto the broken table. Gerard tries for the pin. 1...2... Leech pulls him out of the ring to break up the count. Leech then eye giuges Gerard and then whips him into the guard railing. Leech then pulls himself into the ring and is greeted by Sentinel with a series of forearm smashes to the chin. Sentinel then whips Leech into the corner. Leech moves out of the way of a shoulder block in the corner, then grabs the paper bag in the middle of the ring and pulls out the very dead looking cat and starts swinging it. Sentinel sees this and rolls out of the ring. Boom stands up and takes a faceful of dead cat to the cheek. Leech then kicks Boom in the gut and whips him into the corner. Leech then dropkicks Boom in the corner, all the while holding onto the dead cat.

Ricky Simms - I think some stations may have turned the feed off at this point.

Henry Lesher - Hey, how many dead cats are put to good use? I bet you that Fluffy never had a day this exciting before his death.

Boom headbutts Leech and then clotheslines him to the mat. Leech still does not let go of his cat. Gerard Angelo pulls himself into the ring and gives Boom a double axe handle across the back. Sentinel opts not to leave the match after all, rolling himself into the ring and chop blocking Gerard and Boom to the mat. Sentinel then applies a camel slutch on Boomshakalaka. Leech gets to his feet and staggers to Sentinel and shoves the cat in his face. Sentinel releases the camel slutch and rolls himself right back out of the ring. Leech then gives Gerard a kick in the ribs as he gets up, then shoves the cat in his face. Gerard staggers backwards and then falls awkwardly through the ropes to the floor. Leech then stands Boomshakalaka up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a face full of dead cat before landing the Blood Drain on him and going for the pin. 1...2...3! Leech grabs the win here this week.

Henry Lesher - Well, I may not like his choice of friends these days, but that was pretty awesome.

Ricky Simms - I know I feel sickened by this experience.

With the sudden blaring of Nino Rota's "Halls of Fear", annonces the arrival of the World Champion. Sal strides down the aisle, followed by two men, carting a large box. Sal enters the ring, and climbs the turnbuckles, posing with the belt as the two men struggle to get the box into the ring. Finally after much struggle, and verbal bashing from Sal they succeed. Sal grabs a mic, as the two men exit.

"Happy Valentines Day to all of you that have somebody. Now as for all of you single men out there, which by looking at you is most of you."

The crowd boos.

"Well for all of you, I recommend a hooker, and I hear that Kosmic Kitty is in the back taking appointments. You better act fast."

Sal laughs as the crowd continues voicing its displeasure.

"Now I'm sure you're wondering what's in this box, so I'll get right to the point and show you. You see this is a gift, not for you, not for my lovely girl Serena, and not even for me. No this is for Rated R. You paying attention back there Rated R. Now I promised you something special, and here I am to deliver it."

Sal lifts the lid on the box, and reaches in. With a bit of strength he pulls the struggling Crystal from the box. The sultry brunette is bound at the wrists, and gagged. Sal forces her to her knees, and holding her down with his knee, pulls a gun from his jacket. The crowd goes deathly silent.

"Now you made this personal by threating my Serena, you took this beyond the bounds of a wrestling match. So you remember that when your wondering why I did this. Know that I did this because you wanted me too, you wanted me to hurt your family, your friends, and your assorted loved ones. So with that said it's without further ado, I present you with this."

Sal levels the gun at Crystal's back, and pulls the trigger. The crowds gasps as the shot rings out, but those gasps of shock are quickly replaced by wonderment that it didn't really sound a gun. One look at the now writhing in pain Crystal, answers that question. It was but a paint-ball gun, as evidenced by the bright green spot on her bare back.

"That's the last warning you get Rated R, let's leave this between us."

Sal drops the mic, and exits the ring as Rated R rushes down the aisle. The champion carefully backs out of the ringside area as Rated R checks on his girl.

Henry Lesher - You have to respect a man who uses the paint gun first to illustrate a point.

Ricky Simms - Both of these men are going to end up in jail when this feud is settled.

The weapons match finished, Hector Braun grabs the microphone again.

Hector Braun - Well, tonight we have just witnessed the sickest match in GWO history. I had intended for this next match to be last man standing, tag action and things of that nature. However, there hasn't been a sign of Q this week and Jack Spade never cut a single promo this week. Promos are how we make money, people. Promos make the world go round and so now we have instead got a triple threat match this week.

As he speaks, we see Kosmic Kitty making her way to the ring. She has a smile on her face and waves to a few in the crowd who are still cheering for her. Many are justified in being baffled at her recent actions inside and outside of the ring.

Hector Braun - Well here comes the number one contender to the hardcore title. Now why she is number one contender is simple. Kosmic Kitty has become a twisted individual when she wrestles and a hardcore match will play into that as will...

Now inside the ring, Kitty takes the microphone from Hector Braun.

Kosmic Kitty - I am not going to fight my hero and my ex tonight. I have a proposal for you, Hector. If Radd wins, I fight for the hardcore title. However, when Rated R wins instead, I get a shot at my Pacific title and Radd, too.

Hector Braun - *nods* You know what, Kitty? You got yourself a deal. Compared to some of the relative disappointments from GWO's beginnings, you're a star.

Kitty leaves the ring as "Vindicated" by Dashboard Confessional plays and Radd Matthews makes his way to the ring shaking his head. He enters the ring and gets right in Hector's face arguing that Kitty cannot call the shots like that. Hector just turns his back and leaves the ring as "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace plays and Rated R makes his way down the ramp to a more mixed response than we are used to him seeing. He smiles at Kitty and winks at her as she shows him she still has his autograph kept close to her heart. Rated R then steps up onto the apron and asks Radd if he remembers the beating he took last time. Rated R then steps through the ropes and the bell sounds to get things underway. Rated R and Radd go in for the lock up. Radd instead knees Rated R in the gut, then gives him a snap suplex to the mat. Radd follows that up by standing over Rated R and delivering a knee drop to the forehead on the number one contender for the world title.

Henry Lesher - You know, in recent weeks, Kitty has proved she isn't a complete idiot.

Ricky Simms - I am sure she'll be glad to hear such high praise from you.

Radd stands Rated R up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of forearm smashes across the chin. Radd follows that up with a vertical suplex out of the corner. Radd then heads to the ropes, makes his way to the second rope and then goes for an elbow smash across the throat only to have Rated R roll out of the way. Rated R then pulls himself to his feet and starts putting the boots to Radd as Kitty applauds from ringside. Rated R then stands Radd up, whips him off the ropes and then hip tosses him to the mat. Rated R then applies an arm bar on Radd. Radd gets to his feet, does a somersault to free himself from the arm bar and Rated R then clotheslines him to the mat.

Ricky Simms - So much for that little acrobatic move.

Henry Lesher - Rated R really is becoming my favorite.

Rated R stands Radd Matthews up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him to the mat. Rated R then knee drops Radd to the forehead and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Radd Matthews. Rated R then stands Radd up, whips him into the corner and then charges into raised knees from Radd Matthews who then delivers a dropkick to the chest of Rated R that sends him to the mat. Radd then goes to the ropes and lands a lionsault on Rated R and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Radd slaps the mat in frustration and asks the ref if he knows how to count to three. The ref holds up two fingers, so Radd gives the ref one finger. Radd then stands Rated R up, whips him into the corner and then knees him in the gut before giving him a swinging neckbreaker to the mat. Again, Radd goes for the pin. 1...2... Rated R gets a foot on the bottom rope to keep the match alive.

Ricky Simms - Radd must be wondering what he has to do to finish Rated R off.

Henry Lesher - Well, he needs to find talent for one.

Radd rolls Rated R out of the ring and then follows him out. Radd grabs Rated R by the hair and slams his head into the guard railing and then stands him up and whips him into the steel ring steps which strike his knees hard and he is sent sprawling to the floor. Kosmic Kitty then steps around the corner and stands between Radd and Ryan. Radd smiles and steps towards Kitty who tells Radd to back off. Radd again laughs and then throws a punch at Kitty who ducks it. Kitty then slides into the ring and runs as Radd is in close pursuit of her. Rated R gets to his feet on the floor as Radd chases Kitty around the ring. Kitty then uses the ropes to pull herself over the top and to the floor where she lands on her feet. Radd tries springing over the top rope to the floor and lands in Rated R's clenches instead. Rated R gives Radd a spinning power slam to the floor. Rated R then stands Radd up and delivers the Restricted on him. Rated R then stands Radd up again and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself in as well. Rated R then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Rated R wins another big match!

Henry Lesher - Rated R again outsmarts everyone and emerges the winner. Might as well give him the title right now.

Ricky Simms - Sal Clemenzo is a resourceful champion. He won't go down that easily, Doc.

Backstage we see Kathy Smith pacing in her locker room. Shannon Skanes enters the picture, his hands raised as if he fears she might be carrying a gun.

Shannon Skanes - I come in peace. Look, I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your concern the past few weeks.

Kathy Smith - Right and you must be thrilled at me and Myst being close.

Shannon Skanes - Myst is doing her thing. I know I haven't been there for her as she has needed me to be and she'll figure things out.

Kathy Smith - So, you figure she'll come back to you?

Shannon Skanes - Of course I do.

Kathy Smith - *winks* Then you have nothing to worry about.

Shannon then steps towards Kathy with an eyebrow raised and we head back to the ring.

"Halls Of Fear" by Nino Rota plays as Sal Clemenzo comes out to a rather mixed reaction, Serena Marcelli leading the way. Sal makes his way down the ramp and nods towards a few young men in the front row dressed like him. They nod back. Sal then reaches ringside, hands his title belt to his girl and then pulls himself onto the apron and then into the ring. Sal then paces a bit as his music fades and "Duality" by Slipknot plays. Canadian champion Austin Fierro is walked to the ring by Devanshi and he receives a rather cool response from the Detroit crowd. Austin hands his title belt to Devanshi and then makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then into the ring. He and Sal start having words as "Welcome To the Jungle" by Guns N Roses plays and Slim Pickens starts making his way to the ring, led by Kelli. They get an ovation from the crowd. Slim high fives fans as he makes his way down the ramp. He then hands his TV title over to Kelli once he reaches ringside. He then jumps up onto the apron and smiles as he looks into the ring and sees Sal and Austin in a shoving match. Slim steps into the ring and then his music fades. We hear "Cold" by Breaking Benjamin and Dizz comes out to a loud chorus of boos. Of course, that's partly due to him wearing a Youthful Aggression T-shirt and holding up a sign that declares that Rated R is the next world champion.

Ricky Simms - Dizz is quite the attention grabber.

Henry Lesher - The proper term is whore, attention whore.

Dizz reaches ringside and looks at the three women with belts over their shoulders. He takes his belt and pulls a girl over the guard railing and places it on her shoulder. He tells her she'll be knocked out with it if she tries anything, then he rolls himself into the ring. The girl wearing Dizz's belt over her shoulder looks uncomfortable, but she stays there anyway. We then hear "Shitlist" by L7 and Parker Davis comes out from the back with his Pacific title on his waist. He tells the camera it pays to be different and points to his VWA T-shirt.

Henry Lesher - Did he just mention payment and point to the shirt of a defunct territory?

Ricky Simms - I thought I heard that, too.

Parker reaches ringside and then hands his belt to the ref who hands it off to the timekeeper. Parker then steps up onto the apron where he takes a side kick from Slim Pickens. The ref calls for the bell to make this official as Slim then hip tosses Austin over the top rope. Dizz lands a dropkick on Sal Clemenzo that sends him through to the floor, leaving Dizz and Slim as the two starting this match up.

Ricky Simms - Apparently this match will take the form that our last match was supposed to take with single eliminations and tagging until there is one man left standing.

Henry Lesher - That almost makes it interesting.

Dizz and Slim exchange a series of knife edge chops, Slim starting to get the advantage as he then lands a headbutt on Dizz that sends him into the corner. Sal, Parker and Austin take their places in their respective corners as Slim hip tosses Dizz to the mat and then knees him in the back twice. Slim then stands Dizz up and applies an abdomenal stretch as Slim wastes no time in trying to get the former CWA world champion eliminated. Dizz battles to get free of the hold, pulling his arms down sepite Slim's size and strength advantage. Dizz then hip tosses Slim to the mat to free himself and then tags in Austin Fierro. Austin steps through the ropes and starts exchanging right hands with Slim Pickens. Austin then thumbs Slim in the eye and then gives him a vertical suplex to the mat. Austin then stands Slim up, whips him off the ropes and knees him in the gut and then gives him a gutwrench backbreaker and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim Pickens. Austin stands Slim up, whips him off the ropes and ducks his head for a backdrop. Slim headlocks Austin and DDTs him to the mat and then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... Austin manages to kick out. Slim then tags in Parker Davis. Parker tells the camera he is going to show the world how the VWA does things.

Henry Lesher - He's going to fold?

Ricky Simms - Sounds like it.

Parker steps into the ring and slaps Austin Fierro across the face. He then stands Austin up, whips him off the ropes and then dropkicks him to the mat. Parker looks out to the crowd and smiles as they boo him. We then see Frostbite making his way down the ramp with a chair in hand. Parker spots him and shouts out a few things at him. Frostbite motions for Parker to come out and fight him. Parker agains shouts something at him and Austin rolls him up from behind. 1...2...3! Parker Davis has been eliminated courtesy of a distraction by Frostbite!

Henry Lesher - Apparently that's how the VWA does things.

Ricky Simms - He sure showed us.

Parker leaves the ring and charges at Frostbite. Frostbite takes a wild swing at Parker with the chair, but Parker dodges it and spears Frostbite down as security rushes in from the back. Austin is standing inside the ring and appears to be quite happy with himself. Sal Clemenzo nominates himself to enter the fray and walks up behind Austin and taps him on the shoulder. Austin starts to turn around and takes a series of forearm smashes to the side of the head. Sal then whips Austin off the ropes and dropkicks him to the mat. Sal then quickly gets to his feet and then gives Austin a series of kicks to the head and back before standing him up and whipping him into the corner where Dizz stands. Dizz gives Austin a kick in the gut and then headbutts him. Austin stumbles back to Sal who gives him a fisherman's suplex and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Austin gets a foot on the rope. Sal then stands Austin up, whips him off the ropes and Austin ducks a clothesline and then shoulder blocks Sal to the mat. Austin then tags in Slim Pickens. Slim charges into the ring and lands a series of double axe handle smashes across the back of the world champion. Slim then picks Sal up and body slams him to the mat and then lands a leg drop across the throat on Sal before trying for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Sal Clemenzo.

Ricky Simms - Close call there.

Slim stands Sal up and tags in Dizz. Dizz enters the ring and dropkicks Slim out of the ring and then gets to his feet in time for an eye gouge from Sal. Sal then whips Dizz off the ropes and gives him a jumping spinning heel kick that sends him to the mat. Sal then kips up to his feet. Dizz also kips up to his feet. Sal attempts a heel kick which Dizz backbridges to avoid. Sal then elbows Dizz in the stomach while he is still performing the back bridge. Sal then boot chokes Dizz in the ropes. Sal stands Dizz up, whips him off the ropes and leap frogs over him, then monkey flips him when he comes back to the center of the ring. Sal tags in Austin Fierro after that. Austin enters the ring and headlocks Dizz and goes for a suplex that Dizz blocks. Dizz then lands a snap suplex on Austin. Dizz then quickly gets to his feet and then stands Austin up, whips him to a neutral corner and then hip tosses him out of it before placing him in a headlock. He goes for a bulldog, but Austin ducks, shoves Dizz in the back and right into a right hook to the head from Slim Pickens. Dizz turns and takes a spear to the mat from Austin who then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Dizz has been eliminated with a heavy assist to Slim Pickens.

Ricky Simms - That has to be considered a shock, somewhat.

Henry Lesher - If that inbred hick wins this, I won't be happy.

Ricky Simms - We'll take that into consideration.

Slim steps into the ring with Austin and the two of them lock up. Austin breaks that with a knee to the gut on Slim then gouges his eyes along the top rope. Austin then chokes Slim over the top rope as the ref warns Austin against such tactics. Austin releases the choke and then whips Slim off the ropes and gives him a belly to belly suplex before he goes for the pin. 1...2... Slim rolls a shoulder out. Austin stands Slim up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick that sends him to the mat. Austin then picks Slim up for a scoop slam to the mat. Austin follows that up with a leg drop across the chest. Austin then heads to the ropes and makes his way to the top. Sal Clemenzo starts shaking the ropes, sending Austin off balance and he falls off the top rope, straddling the ropes in an uncomfortable looking fashion. Slim gets to his feet and snap mares Austin from the top rope to the mat. Slim then climbs to the second rope and lands the Slim Proposition on Austin and goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Slim has eliminated Austin Fierro!

Ricky Simms - Slim scores what has to be an upset there.

Henry Lesher - Big time help from Sal, of course. That idiot can't tie his shoes without help.

Sal Clemenzo steps into the ring and circles Slim and then the two of them lock up, the final competitors in this battle. Slim breaks the lock up with a headbutt and then lands a series of knife edge chops that sens Sal into the corner buckle. Slim then climbs to the second rope and rains punches down to the head of Sal as the fans count them off. They reach ten and then Sal grabs Slim around the waits, pulls him out of the corner and gives him an inverted atomic drop. Sal then clotheslines Slim down and then heads to the ropes in the nearby corner. Sal Clemenzo perches himself on the top, poses once there and then lands a flying elbowsmash to the throat on Slim before going for the pin. 1...2... Slim kicks out. Sal slaps the mat and then pulls Slim to his feet and whips him through the ropes to the floor. The referee starts counting Slim out as Sal backs off to a neutral corner. Pyro explodes from the ramp as we hear the beginnings of "I Hate Everything About You" Sal continues leaning back in the corner, but watches the rampway as the ref heads in that direction as well, prepared to tell Rated R to stay out of this. We then see Rated R emerging from the crowd. He steps over the guard railing and nails Sal in the back of the head with a chair. Rated R then escapes through the crowd again as Slim pulls himself into the ring.

Henry Lesher - That would not be cool.

Slim spots Sal Clemenzo down, climbs to the second rope in that corner and lands the Slim Proposition on him. The ref is looking around for the culprit, but finds no one around. Slim goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Slim Pickens has won the match!

Henry Lesher - Maybe it's time for me to quit.

Ricky Simms - We have been wanting to hear that for two years now. Regardless of how it happened, great win for Slim Pickens.

Henry Lesher - If you want to take a win like that, I guess.

Ricky Simms - You're the man who always says a win is a win.

The camera focusses on Slim standing on the corner buckle, his TV title held high as he poses for the crowd and then the camera fades to black. We'll see you all at Malicious Intent.
