The crowd cheers as we look backstage and see Ingee Shmelky, Chris, Bass and Shengee readying for a performance. Ingee grabs the microphone and leads Flava out onto the stage at the top of the ramp.

Henry Lesher - I want to die.

Flava's first single starts to play. Yes, a Flava single! The boy band is now producing singles! The crowd cheers as the music plays its way into their hearts and Ingee sings lead.

Ingee Shmelky - *sings* Oh yeah, baby baby. Make me be yours baby baby. It's our time right now baby baby. Give it to me baby baby. Yippee and a half for your love!

Henry Lesher - Screw off, Ingee.

Ricky Simms - Shhh, he's about to sing the chorus.

Ingee Shmelky - *sings* Give me your heart. Give me your hand. Look at my feet. You'll understand. Give me your heart. I'll make this true. Love you so much. Strong like the flu.

The crowd cheers as Ingee waves and a guitar solo begins and the back up singers repeat the chorus.

Henry Lesher - This is a near death experience.

Ricky Simms - That's "Heart Giving Love" by Flava and it's gonna go to number one!

Henry Lesher - And prove there is no reason to live on this planet anymore.

Ingee Shmelky - *sings* Baby baby.... oooh ya... baby baby. Give it to me baby baby. oooo oooo yaaa yaaa. My time for loving is now.

Ingee Shmelky - *sings* Give me your heart. Give me your hand. Look at my feet. You'll understand. Give me your heart. I'll make this true. Love you so much. Strong like the flu. Give me your heart. Give me your hand. Look at my feet. You'll understand. Give me your heart. I'll make this true. Love you so much. Strong like the flu. Baby.... oooo... baby....

The crowd cheers and we hear Shmelky chants as Flava bows, aware this will send their debut album gold. Ingee giggles like a school girl as flowers are tossed onto the stage for him.

Ricky Simms - The album is titled "Flava Love" and that's our great band of 2004!

Henry Lesher - I knew I was going to hell someday, just never thought it would be until I was dead.

As Ingee leads his troops to the back, we see Lunacy Muse backstage shaking her head.

Lunacy Muse - That's the GM of Assault? Even Dante would never have made a fool out of himself like that.

Shannon Skanes enters the shot and the crowd cheers him on.

Shannon Skanes - Boy, this place sure has gone down the proverbial tubes.

Lunacy Muse - You started the ball rolling. I am working on bringing the CWA to the top. Tonight is the grandest event ever in the CWA;s history and you had nothing to do with it.

Shannon Skanes - You have grown a lot more confident with Parizi being back. You and Q figure I am going to slip by the wayside and that will be it. You're both dead wrong.

Lunacy Muse - Have fun getting your ass handed to you by Sal Clemenzo tonight.

Shannon Skanes - *laughs* You are going to regret crossing me, Miss Muse.

We then head back to the ring for more tournament action.

Round Two

Dante vs Ash

"Know" by System of a Down plays as Dante makes his way to the ring to the boos of the crowd. Dante steps through the ropes and smiles as they boo and even appears to encourage it. His expression turns serious when "The New Shit" by Marilyn Manson begins to play and Ash is led to the ring by Angela. Ash says a few things to the camera directed as Scavenger about costing Frank Merritt the last first round match. Ash then enters the ring and stands face to face with Dante. Dante takes about three seconds of this and then lands a series of knife edge chops to the chest of Ash as the bell sounds. Dante then whips Ash into the corner and backdrops him as he comes out of it.

Ricky Simms - Strong start here for Dante.

Henry Lesher - Of course it is. He is the world champion.

Dante stands Ash up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a tile a whirl slam. Dante then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Ash as Angela applauds from ringside. Dante then stands Ash up and whips him into the corner buckle. Dante then picks Ash up for a slam. Ash slides behind Dante and elbows him in the back of the head. Ash then gives Dante a reverse neckbreaker and tries for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Dante. Ash then stands Dante up, picks him up and gives him a shoulderbreaker before trying for another pin. 1...2... Dante reverses the pin. 1...2... Ash kicks out. Dante rolls himself out of the ring to regroup only to find Ash rolling out right after him. The two exchange punches outside the ring before Ash knees Dante in the gut. Ash then attempts to whip Dante into the ringsteps, but Dante reverses it and Ash hits the ring steps hard with his shoulder. Dante then rolls Ash into the ring. He gives a fan at ringside the finger before he re-enters.

Henry Lesher - Dante is a real man. He's taking Ash to school here.

Ricky Simms - I am getting a headache.

Henry Lesher - If I had to suffer through Alvin and the Chipmunks singing, you can deal with me.

Dante stands Ash up, whips him off the ropes and Ash ducks a clothesline and then gives the world champ a dropkick to the chest. Ash then heads to the ropes, climbs to the second rope and clotheslines Dante from there and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Dante.

Ash then stands Dante up, whips him into the corner and lands a series of kicks to Dante's chest while he is in there. He then pulls him out of the corner and gives him an atomic drop right back into it again.

Ricky Simms - This would be a huge upset if Ash pulled this off.

Henry Lesher - He won't. Dante is too much of a man to lose to him.

Ash picks Dante up and gives him a backbreaker and goes for the pin. 1...2.. Dante kicks out. Ash stands Dante up, then whips him to the corner. Dante comes out and lands a right hook to the jaw of Ash and Ash drops to the mat hard.

Both men get to their feet and then they lock up. Ash places Dante into an arm bar. Dante reverses it. Ash rakes the eyes of Dante, then places him in a headlock and drops him with a DDT. He then goes for the pin and hooks the tights out of sight of the ref. 1...2...3! Ash pulls of the upset!

Ricky Simms - Ash just took the world heavyweight champion out of the tournament!

Henry Lesher - This is highway robbery! Ash cheated!

Ricky Simms - As you are fond of saying, a win is a win. Ash is in the final four.

Henry Lesher - And is now a marked man.

Backstage we see Tony Parizi with Joe Davidson.

Tony Parizi - Let me begin here, Joseph by saying that I have been watching tonight's show and I am most disturbed by round two's lacking in Sal Clemenzo content.

Joe Davidson - That is duly noted. Now, we have heard a lot said about your alliance with Q. What plans do you have tonight on this matter?

Tony Parizi - Q is simply a bisness associate, nothing more. Now, Mister Skanes is here and blubbering about this and that and I hear he is throwing my name around. This is not acceptable in the least. The man needs to see the err of his way.

Joe Davidson - I see...

Tony Parizi - And soon the man who once ruled the CWA will see as well.

Dizz vs Moose

"If You Want Blood, You Got It" by AC/DC plays as The Moose makes his way to the ring. He gets a strong ovation as he steps into the ring with his head held high and fists in the air. As the fans cheer him, we hear "Nobody's Listening" by Linkin Park and the crowd erupts for Dizz as he makes his way down the ramp and pyro shoots off in every direction for the three time CWA champion.

Ricky Simms - It's been almost a year since Dizz arrived on the scene and he has had one helluva ride. This kid has become a man before our eyes.

Henry Lesher - I wasn't aware there was any of that sort of footage of Dizz kicking around.

The bell rings as Dizz steps through the ropes. The two stand nose to nose and each talk about this being a match of respect. They then back off and lock up. Moose then places Dizz in an arm bar. Dizz lands a knife edge chop to the chest of Moose and Moose responds with a headbutt which knocks Dizz to the mat. Moose then stands Dizz up, whips him to the corner only to have Dizz reverse it into a clothesline. Dizz then stands Moose up and gives him a German suplex to the mat before trying for the pin. 1...2... Moose kicks out. Moose then rolls out of the ring to regroup. Dizz gets to his feet and motions Moose into the ring. Moose smiles, climbs onto the apron and then steps through the ropes. The crowd cheers as they lock up again. Dizz tries for a shoot on the leg and ends up in a headlock from Moose. Moose then turns it around and bulldogs Dizz to the mat before trying for the pin. 1...2... Dizz kicks out.

Ricky Simms - Strong match up thus far between these two.

Henry Lesher - BO---RING!

Ricky Simms - Why? Just because they aren't trying to kill each other?

Henry Lesher - Exactly.

Moose stands Dizz up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a fireman's carry into a Samoan drop. Moose goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Dizz. Moose then heads to the ropes and climbs to the top. He leaps and misses with a knee from the top. His knee hits the mat hard.

Moose responds with a knife edge chop to the chest of Dizz. Dizz then picks Moose up and body slams him on the floor.

Henry Lesher - That's more of my kind of action.

Ricky Simms - You need help.

Henry Lesher - Not from you.

Dizz rolls himself into the ring as Moose gets to his feet. Dizz grabs Moose by the hair through the ropes. Moose then pulls Dizz down, guilotining him on the top rope. Dizz snaps back and falls hard to the mat as Moose rolls himself into the ring and makes the cover for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Dizz.

Moose stands Dizz up, whips him to the ropes and Dizz ducks a clothesline. Dizz lands a Reckless Abandon on Moose in the corner. Dizz goes for the cover. 1...2.... Moose gets a foot on the bottom rope! The fans calm down from their cheer as they had believed that was going to be it. Dizz stands Moose up. He takes a swing at Moose and Moose ducks it. He kicks Dizz in the gut, then picks him up and delivers the Moosedriver. He goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Moose pulls off the win! The crowd erupts as Moose celebrates inside the ring.

Ricky Simms - Ash will face Moose in the final four!

Henry Lesher - At least that match will be violent.

Moose then helps Dizz up and shakes hands with him. Dizz raises the arm of Moose before leaving the ring. Moose stands in one corner on the second rope posing for the fans. We then head backstage and we see that Lauren is in the back with Scavenger at his locker.

Lauren - Scav, what's up with that stuff with Merritt earlier?

Scavenger - *shrugs* The guy pisses me off.

Lauren - You have to face Ash tonight. You'd better watch your back.

Scavenger - *smiles* I have it covered hon.

Lauren - What are you talking about?

Scavenger - Just trust me.

Leech vs MLSQ42

The crowd boos as Tomoyasu Hotei's "Battle without Honor or Humanity" begins to play and Q makes his way to the ring for his round two match up here against Leech of the almost equally hated Flock. Q is led to the ring by Tina who has a few words for the fans about respecting this man. Q steps over the top rope and raises his arms and stakes his claim as the soon to be winner. "Raining Blood" by Slayer begins to play and Leech makes his way to the ring blowing kisses to the booing crowd. He is led to the ring by a very pissed off looking Frank Merritt. Leech slides into the ring as Merritt smiles at Tina. Q says a few words towards Merritt and Leech attacks as the bell sounds. Leech throws Q over the top rope and then springboard dives onto him over the top.

Ricky Simms - Leech with a fast start here against the monster former world champion Q.

Henry Lesher - He is on his way to the top if Dante has failed to get there. Q is my pick to win it all. You wait and see.

Leech stands Q up and whips him head first into the steel ring post. Leech then rolls himself into the ring and poses as if he just won the match and it's all over. Leech then baseball slides to kick Q in the chin. Q sidesteps it and Leech crashes into the guard railing hard. Q then picks Leech up and drops him on the ring steps, face first. Q then rolls a bloodied Leech into the ring. Q steps into the ring and boot chokes Leech, using the ropes for leverage. Q releases the choke before being DQed. Q then has a few words for Frank Merritt at ringside as he takes a step or two towards Tina. Q stands Leech up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a boot to the chest which knocks him to the mat and he tries for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Leech. Q then stands Leech up again, whips him into the corner and lands a series of elbows to the jaw of Leech. He then attempts to whip him to the opposite corner only to have Leech reverse it. Q hits the corner hard as Leech gives him a dropkick in the corner for his troubles.

Ricky Simms - Leech coming back strong here.

Henry Lesher - But he's losing a lot of blood. Q will wear him down.

Leech snap mares Q to the center of the ring and places him in a grapevine submission hold. Leech holds on for all he's worth as Frank Merritt takes another step towards Tina. Tina's reaction suddenly changes and she winks at Frank. As Frank steps closer to her, Tina withdraws a small bottle of pepper spray from her top and sprays Frank in the eyes with it. The crowd cheers as Frank drops to the floor grabbing at his eyes. Leech sees this and releases Q from the hold and has a few words for Tina at ringside. Q slowly gets to his feet as Leech grabs through the ropes and gets a handful of Tina's hair and pulls her close. Q then attacks Leech from behind with a swift kick to the back of the knee. Q then DDTs Leech to the mat and tries for the pin. 1...2... Leech gets a foot on the bottom rope.

Henry Lesher - Never let a woman distract you.

Ricky Simms - We know you have no interest.

Henry Lesher - True enough.

Q stands Leech up, whips him off the ropes and clotheslines him to the mat. He then looks to the crowd and smiles. He stands Leech up and lands a choke slam on him. He then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Q moves on to the final four!

Henry Lesher - Now there is a winner!

Ricky Simms - Flock now only has one man left in this thing.

Henry Lesher - And even that is one too many.

Q leaves the ring and walks Tina to the back. We then look backstage and we see Damien turning a corner and running into Night Dweller.

Damien - Just the man I was looking for.

Night Dweller - Where the hell is Amy?

Damien - Mister Dweller, you displease me with your question. I have no knowledge of where she might be.

Night Dweller - I am not asking you again.

Damien - You see, the man who knows where she is isn't the man you see before you. It's...... Kindred, the man rejected, the man left out, the man forgotten.

Night Dweller - The Kindred is about to die. I may take you down with him.

Damien - *smiles* Please try. Good luck against Total Mayhem tonight. It would be a shame if you got hurt.

Night Dweller - Just try it, Damien. Just bloody try.

The two stand face to face and we then head back to the ring.

Vigilante vs Max Cameron

"Hell's Bells" by AC/DC plays as Hardcore champion Max Cameron makes his way to the ring to face another member of EOS as the stable again is forced to face one of its own. He is cheered louder now than he was in his first match after overcoming the Flock. Max slides into the ring, hands his belt to the ref and we hear "Back In Black" by AC/DC and Vigilante makes his way to the ring to an equal reaction. He high fives fans all the way to the ring and looks inside. His expression becomes stone faced as he steps onto the apron and his eyes lock on Max's.

Ricky Simms - Enemies of the State have comprised half of round two and will comprise half of the final four as well. It's a shame they have to face each other and yet this might be a good measure of how equal their talents truly are.

Henry Lesher - It's a test of how bored I can get and how fast. I want hatred and blood and guts, not people respecting each other.

Ricky Simms - You are a sad little man.

The bell sounds as Vigilante steps through the ropes and hands his Superior belt to the ref. The two men nod at each other and circle each other inside the ring. They lock up. Vigilante powers Max into the corner. The ref orders the break and they slowly back off and the break is clean. Max and Vigilante then lock up again. Max quickly breaks the lock up and goes behind Vigilante with a firm grip on one arm and placing Vig in a hammer lock. Vigilante goes to the ropes, climbs to the top and somersaults behind Max. He then gives Max a bulldog and goes for a quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Max Cameron. Max rolls out of the ring. Vigilante follows. The two get to their feet and trade blows back and forth. We then see Dante coming out from the back and making his way down the ramp as the crowd boos.

Ricky Simms - This can't be good.

Henry Lesher - Of course it's good. It's Dante! bWe haven't seen him in a half hour.

Ricky Simms - Dante has a score to settle with Max Cameron for taking the hardcore title from him, but he also has issues with Vigilante who he faces later tonight for the world title.

Henry Lesher - Now he can destroy them both and Q gets a bye to the finals! That would be great! Then him and Q can be friends and all is well!

Ricky Simms - And in dream world is Doctor Lesher.

Vigilante elbows Max in the chest and then rolls him into the ring before rolling himself back in. Vigilante then places Max in a headlock as Dante makes his way around the ring and takes a seat next to the timekeeper with his world championship belt over his shoulder. The crowd boos Dante as he sits back. Inside the ring, Vigilante holds Max in the headlock until Max gets to his feet and manages to break the lock and whip Vigilante off the ropes. Max drops and Vigilante jumps over Max. Max jumps to his feet, leap frogs Vigilante and the monkey flips him out of the ring. Dante gets to his feet and the crowd boos. Dante gives a fan near him the finger and returns to his seat. Vigilante gets to his feet and rolls himself back into the ring. Max turns his attention to Dante and has a few words for him. Vigilante does the same. Vigilante then taps Max on the shoulder and turns him around and then gives him a knife edge chop to the chest. Max does the same to Vig. The crowd cheers as they exchange blows.

Ricky Simms - Things getting heated inside the ring as Dante looks on.

Henry Lesher - No one disturbs the peace like Dante.

Vigilante whips Max Cameron into the corner and gives him a sidewalk slam out of it. Vigilante tries for the pin. 1...2... Max kicks out. Dante applauds at ringside. Max is stood up by Vigilante and then whipped off the ropes. Max ducks a clothesline and then lands a reverse neckbreaker on Vigilante before trying for the pin. 1...2... Vigilante kicks out and Dante again applauds at ringside.

Ricky Simms - What side is Dante cheering for?

Henry Lesher - His own.

Vigilante and Max get to their feet and the lights go out. We then hear a few solid thuds and the crowd boos. When the lights come back on, both Vigilante and Max Cameron are out cold in the middle of the ring with Max laying over Vigilante. The ref looks around, knowing someone did something, but he has to make the count. 1...2...3! Max Cameron wins this match thanks to a heavy assist he never planned on.

Henry Lesher - Dante is not in his seat. That was an Eternal Nightmare attack. Dante figures if he can't win this thing, then neither can Vigilante.

Ricky Simms - Great sportsmanship shown here by Dante and Max wins a way he'll hate to.

Henry Lesher - Q now gets to face a seriously injured Max Cameron in the final four.

Ricky Simms - This tournament has taken an ugly turn.

Backstage we see Leech with Joe Davidson.

Joe Davidson - Leech, you guys have Ash left now in a semi final match against Moose. Your thoughts on the night so far.

Leech - Joe, I am going to destroy Q for what happened to Frank Merritt right after we get Scavenger dealt with tonight! I have watched the Flock being treated like losers for long enough! It is our time and that is our ring! Ash will steamroll over Moose and then take out whoever he has to face in the finals and then I become the new CWA hardcore champion!

Joe Davidson - There's no lack of confidence there.

Leech - Why should there be? Are you trying to tell me something?

Joe Davidson - No, of course not.

Joe backs off as Leech looks ready to strike him. Instead, Leech throws a nearby chair down the hallway and walks off.

Round Three

Ash vs The Moose

"The New Shit" by Marilyn Manson plays as Ash is led by Angela to the ring. Ash is holding up a sign which proclaims that Frank Merritt and Leech were both screwed tonight. Ash then tosses the sign into the crowd as he steps onto the apron. Ash steps into the ring as Angela cheers him on. Ash then test the ropes as we hear "If You Want Blood, You Got It" by AC/DC playing and Moose starts making his way to the ring. Moose gets a huge ovation from the crowd. He then says something to Angela which we miss, but manages to make her mad. Moose steps onto the apron, but Ash charges and shoulder blocks him off the apron as the bell sounds to start round three.

Ricky Simms - These guys have to be tired after all the action they have endured tonight.

Henry Lesher - No way Moose's knee is okay right now.

Ash climbs out of the ring and dives on Moose, but lands in a bearhug. Moose tightens his grip on Ash, but releases as he hears the ref counting both men out. Moose rolls himself into the ring as Ash grabs at his back and gets to his feet on the floor. Ash then climbs the ring steps and warns Moose to get back and allow him entrance to the ring. Ash enters the ring and takes a spear from Moose who then tries for the pin. 1...2... Ash kicks out. Moose heads to the ropes, climbs to the second rope and lands a double axe handle to the back of the neck of Ash. Moose then stands Ash up, whips him off the ropes and Ash ducks a clothesline, chop blocking the knees out from under Moose. Moose screams in pain as Ash slaps on an ankle lock.

Henry Lesher - We may be about to hear that leg snap. No more nice guy matches from here for these guys.

Ricky Simms - Tremendous pressure being exerted by Ash on the knee of Moose here.

Ash twists the ankle as Moose reaches for and grabs the bottom rope. Moose then drags himself out of the ring and lands hard on the floor, his knee obviously bothering him a lot. Ash climbs to the top rope as Moose slowly gets to his feet. Ash dives off, landing a flying body press from there. Ash then rolls Moose into the ring before entering it himself. Ash then rolls Moose up for the pin. 1...2... Moose grabs the bottom rope with his right hand. The crowd starts a chant for The Moose as Ash stands him up and then headbutts him to the mat before placing him in a sharpshooter. Ash leans back as the ref asks Moose if he gives up. Moose refuses to give up. Moose reaches for the ropes. He fails to reach the ropes, but only by the narrowest of margins. Moose inches his way closer to the ropes, pushing up off the mat as Ash struggles to hold him closer to the middle of the ring. Moose reaches again and this time manages to grab the bottom rope. Ash is forced to again release Moose before he has the time to make him submit and Ash stomps his feet twice in frustration. He then puts the boots to Moose as he lays on the mat, booting him in the head and to the knee.

Ricky Simms - Moose is in trouble. The referee has to be thinking about stopping this match if that knee takes much more punishment.

Henry Lesher - Moose just isn't very good and he needs to realize that. A Flocker is beating him!

Moose uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet as Ash stalks him. Ash boots the back of Moose's knee mercilessly. Ash picks Moose up and gives him a kneebreaker. He then whips him off the ropes and smiles as Moose falls before hitting the middle of the ring again. Ash then rolls Moose over for the pin. 1...2... Moose reverses the pin. 1...2...3! Moose moves on to the finals.

Ricky Simms - Moose moves on to the finals!

Henry Lesher - With a flat tire of a leg.

Ricky Simms - Moose is hurting bad and it looks good for whoever wins the match between Max Cameron and Q.

Henry Lesher - I told you Q would win it.

Backstage we see Lunacy Muse in her office when Ingee Shmelky enters.

Ingee Shmelky - Lunacy, that was fun. We are stars.

Lunacy Muse - Yes, you are a star and I think maybe you should go for your place as a star. I mean, you can only go so far when you're tied to your job as GM. Maybe.... maybe you should focus on your music career.

Ingee Shmelky - *sighs* It's gonna be hard being such a star.

Lunacy Muse - But you have to try it.

Ingee Shmelky - Yes, that might be the way to go. I'll think about it. But who would take over as GM of Assault?

Lunacy Muse - *nibbles on pen for a moment* You know what? I could do it! I have been playing secretary here long enough now and I am ready for the GM role.

Ingee Shmelky - *frowns* I'll think about it. I'll let you know next Monday.

Lunacy Muse - You just do that, Ingee.

MLSQ42 vs Max Cameron

Tomoyasu Hotei's "Battle without Honor or Humanity" plays as Q makes his way to the ring to the delight of no one outside of Henry Lesher. Q steps onto the apron and then over the top rope with his head held high. We then hear "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC play and Max Cameron comes out to another huge ovation, one which gets louder every time he comes out tonight. Max looks dazed after the attack he suffered earlier at the hands of Dante. Max steps onto the apron and looks around at the worried crowd.

Ricky Simms - Max already looks to be in rough shape for this match up with Q.

Henry Lesher - Dante cleared the way for Q to reach the finals. That was so nice of him.

Max steps through the ropes and is attacked as the bell sounds by Q. Q whips Max to the middle of the ring and then superkicks him in the jaw and goes for the pin. 1...2... Max rolls out.

Ricky Simms - Max showing a lot of fight here.

Henry Lesher - Against a merciless monster. The man is an idiot.

Q places Max into a side headlock and then turns it into a sleeperhold. Max senses the danger he's in and lunges to the ropes. The ref forces the break and Q tosses Max Cameron out of the ring. The crowd at ringside cheer Max on as Q steps out of the ring and drops to the floor. Q grabs the hair of Max Cameron and stands him up. Max thumbs Q in the eye, then pushes him over the guard railing before rolling himself back into the ring. Q gets to his feet, not appearing to be too impressed and steps back over the railing as he blinks his eyes in an attempt to clear his vision. Q rolls himself into the ring and takes a series of forearms to the back from Max Cameron as he fights desperately to get back into this match up. Max even comes off the ropes and lands a rolling thunder on Q and goes for the pin. 1...2... Q kicks out. Max then heads to the ropes and climbs to the top. He dives off for a moonsault which misses as Q moves out of the way. Q rolls Max up for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Max Cameron.

Henry Lesher - It's nearly over for Max here.

Ricky Simms - Max Cameron battling through what might be a concussion here in this match. It's what Battle of the Warriors has been about for nearly twenty years now.

Henry Lesher - Foolish pride?

Q gets to his feet first, places Max into a headlock and Max whips Q to the corner buckle. Max then backdrops Q to the mat and goes for a quick pin. 1...2... Q kicks out. Max slides outside the ring, desperate to find some edge that will get him the win here as he battles his own health in order to get a chance for a spot in the finals here tonight.

He grabs Max by the hair and attempts a whip into the steel ring post which Max reverses and the crowd cheers as they watch the head of Q bounce off the steel and Max rolls himself back into the ring. Q looks dazed as he uses the bottom rope to pull himself back inside. Max applies a Crippler Crossface on Q. Q immediately grabs the rope to force the break of the hold as the momentum has switched over here. Max stands Q up, whips him to the corner and attempts a clothesline which Q ducks. Q then lands the Q Jumper on Max and goes for the pin seemingly out of nowhere. 1...2...3! Q with the win over Max Cameron!

Henry Lesher - Q is the man of destiny here tonight!

Ricky Simms - The finals are set with Max Cameron set to face Q in the middle of that ring next!

Backstage we see Romeo Salvador looking at his Aerial title. Samantha Johnson enters the picture.

Samantha Johnson - Tonight Romeo, it has been announced that you will present that belt to the winner of the match between Cleo Styles and Pyro. Your thoughts on retiring?

Romeo Salvador - A man just has to know when the right time is to go and it's my time now. I'll keep my position on Breakthrough, but I won't be inside the ring anymore and that will be hard. However, as they say it is always better to go out on top.

Samantha Johnson - I'm sure the fans will understand that sentiment.

Romeo Salvador - Whether they do or son't, it won't change my mind.

FINALS

MLSQ42 vs The Moose

There is no need for Q's music as he is still standing inside the ring after his win over Max Cameron and he looks focussed on the one remaining match separating him from a million dollars and a title shot. "If You Want Blood, You Got It" by AC/DC plays and The Moose makes his way to the ring already favoring that bad leg. Moose is cheered by the crowd as he locks eyes with Q. These two have nbot forgotten their battle at Dead By Dawn or the ones they had even before that.

Henry Lesher - Let the crowning begin. Moose is overmatched.

Ricky Simms - I hate it when you're right, but Moose does appear to be quite hurt here. That knee has taken a lot of punishment tonight. Moose is proving himself to be very brave coming out here, but Q could eat him up in there.

Moose walks gingerly onto the ring steps and then onto the apron. He steps through the ropes and Q smiles, sensing this match is already over before it has even begun.

Ricky Simms - Let's trace how these two got here. Q started off in round one with a win over Jakob, then moved on to a win over Leech in round two before the defeat he handed Max Cameron moments ago to bring him here. Moose managed to defeat Nacho Mauma in round one, three time champ Dizz in round two and escaped Ash in the semi finals to reach this spot here.

Henry Lesher - Now Q beats Moose and we get on to the other matches of the night.

The bell sounds and Q approaches Moose. Moose dropkicks the knees of Q and then attempts to slap on a sharpshooter as the crowd cheers him on. Q powers out of the sharpshooter and then pulls himself out of the ring to regroup. Moose rolls himself out of the ring, staying on the attack. He scissor kicks Q to the back of the neck, then lands a series of rights and lefts to the back of the head of Q as he lies face down on the floor. Moose then rolls himself back into the ring and poses for the fans. He then winces and grabs at his knee before straightening up again. Q gets to his feet and looks into the ring stunned by what's happening here. Q then pulls himself into the ring and has a few words for Moose as the two circle each other. They lock up and Q breaks it right away and places Moose into a standing side headlock. Moose breaks free, whipping Q off the ropes. Both men shoulder block each other, but neither moves. Q then kicks the sore knee of Moose and then spears him to the mat and tries for the pin. 1...2.. Moose kicks out. Q then slaps on an ankle lock submission, doing further damage to Moose as both men wrestle their fourth match of five tonight.

Ricky Simms - Moose is game for this match despite his injury.

Henry Lesher - He is merely destroying whatever was left of his career.

Moose struggles to free himself from the ankle lock, rolling over and kicking at Q only to have Q turn Moose back over and re-apply the pressure. Moose reaches for and grabs the bottom rope and Q curses at himself for not holding him in the middle of the ring and away from the ropes. Q then takes Moose by the hair, stands him up in a corner and starts wailing away on him with rights and lefts. He then takes the sore leg of Moose and wraps it around the middle rope and pulls to strain whatever ligiments in that knee have not already been damaged. Q releases that hold in the ropes before the five count to avoid DQ, then snap mares Moose to the center of the ring before applying a Full Nelson on Moose. Moose appears to be in great pain, but he immediately starts to power out of it. Sensing this hold won't work, Q rekeases Moose, stands side to side with him and delivers a Russian leg sweep and goes for the pin. 1...2.. Moose kicks out. Moose chants start in the crowd as the fans want to see the EOS member come back against the monster known as Q.

Henry Lesher - When will the fans learn these chants do them no good at all?

Ricky Simms - Right after you realize a wrestler isn't a God just because you like them.

Henry Lesher - Well, that won't be happening then.

Q pushes Moose out of the ring and then steps outside the ring himself. Q then tosses Moose into the steel ringsteps, nailing that sore knee straight on. Moose screams in pain. Q stands Moose up, attempts a whip into the railing, but Moose plants his feet and nails a reversal with Q smashing hard into the guard railing before Moose drags himself back into the ring. Q shakes off the effects of hitting the railing and looks quite angry as he rolls himself into the ring. He grabs Moose by the hair and stands him up. Moose drops and gives Q a jawbreaker. Moose then picks Q up and power slams him to the mat. He goes for the pin. 1...2.... roll out by Q as Moose was milliseconds away from winning this thing. Moose stands Q up, whips him off the ropes and both men clothesline each other to the mat. The ref starts counting them both down. Q shows signs of life first as he rolls towards the ropes and uses them to start to get to his feet as the ref reaches a count of 5. Q gets to his feet at 7 and the count stops. Q then comes off the ropes and tries a leg drop on Moose only to find no one home. Moose then rolls Q up for a quick pin. 1....2... Q kicks out.

Ricky Simms - We are starting to see a lot of near falls as both men realize what is on the line here tonight.

Henry Lesher - It's a lot of money, prestige and power that somes to the winner of this match and I am very proud of Q for winning it.

Ricky Simms - The match isn't over yet.

Henry Lesher - The match was over before the opening bell. The rest is just a formality.

Moose and Q get to their feet. Q charges and Moose dodges the charges and then places Q into a headlock and DDTs him to the mat. Moose goes for the pin. 1...2... Q kicks out. Moose then gets to his feet and stands poised in the corner for Q to get up. When Q does get up, he is attacked by Moose who lands a Mooseplex on Q and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Moose pulls off the impossible upset!!

Henry Lesher - NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Ricky Simms - The Moose has won the tournament! This arena is going wild! On a bad knee and battling who knows how many other lifelong injuries we don't know about, Moose has become a millionaire and the top contender in the CWA coming out of Battle of the Warriors! He has earned the right to face the winner of tonight's match between Dante and Vigilante!

Henry Lesher - Q kicked out! That was a two count!

Moose rolls himself out of the ring and heads back to the back with fans high fiving him all the way. One fan holds up a sign which proclaims Moose to be worth a million bucks. Moose gives that fan a thumbs up and winks at the camera before disappearing into the back. Inside the ring, Q gets to his feet enraged, grabs the ref and lands a Q Jumper on him. Q then rolls himself out of the ring and starts towards the back. As he does, we hear "Deep" by Nine Inch Nails and the fans cheer as Shannon Skanes comes out of the back with a microphone in hand.

Shannon Skanes - Hey there Q! Remember me, your feud of the year buddy for 2003? Looky looky, it is 2004 and we still hate each other! You're threatening my company's livelihood and this match with Sal is my last stand as I see it. Watch me beat him Q just like Moose whooped your ass moments ago. Then watch as I come after you and tear you a new one, my friend, just for old time's sake!

Q laughs as Shannon exits and his music plays again.

Henry Lesher - Shannon is just making things harder on himself.

Ricky Simms - We'll find out if that's the case when we head to the action awaiting us on our standard card next!
