As winter closes in on the outside world, things are heating up in Halifax. Backstage we see Moose preparing for his Double Ladder match later on tonight. He starts lacing up his boots as two unknown men enter his locker room. They casually sit on a bench discussing current happenings in AW as Moose gapes at them in awe.

Guy 1: Can you believe this, it feels like a dream.

Guy 2: I know man, I've always dreamed about being a wrestler. I never once imagined who my trainer would be.

Moose has heard enough.

Moose: Hey!

The two guys look over at Moose and instantly have surprised looks on their faces. They are at a loss for words.

Moose: I know you guys are new here, but there's one thing you need to know. Never enter my locker room.

Moose's words seem to knock some sense into the two unknown guys.

Guy 1: I can't believe this, first we get a training session with Leech and now...

Guy 2: Wait a second! Moose! Think you could show us a thing or two? You're a pretty -

In a split second Moose is on his feet and choking both guys, one in each hand.

Moose: As you can probably tell, any time someone mentions the name "Leech" around me, it strikes a nerve. Now, you can either tell me where you saw Leech now, or we can wait until you both pass out due to lack of oxygen, and we'll repeat the process over and over until you talk.

It doesn't take long before one of them talks. You're unable to hear what's said, but Moose releases them both and promptly walks out of his locker room in pursuit of Leech.

"The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails plays as Shannon Skanes emerges onto the stage and the crowd greets him with a loud ovation. He makes his way down the ramp and then marches down the aisle to the ring without looking at the fans. He then pulls himself onto the apron, then steps through the ropes into the ring. He has a microphone in hand.

Shannon Skanes - AW is a company that is crazy enough to throw an outdoor event in December and you people actually showed up. It could snow inside this ring tonight. See, we figure that if football players can play in this, then wrestlers can too and we heated the canvas here with heaters around the ring as well.

Shannon lowers the microphone and looks around at the crowd for a few moments while they let out another cheer.

Shannon Skanes - I am so sick of this damned company. Wyatt Gibson was supposed to fight Noah Skanes for Wyatt's job. I know you people wanted to see it, but that match is off. That match is not going to happen.

Henry Lesher - Thank God for small miracles.

Shannon Skanes - You see, I had a long talk with my wife and my son today. Anarchy Wrestling is not working out for us. We are tired of the backstage politics and the infighting. We are tired of our family being the targets for people like Rated R and others who want to be like him. It is beyond my comprehension that he tried to kill my wife and never went to prison for it. I'm sick of it. Myst is sick of it. Noah is sick of it. We have sold the damned company to Wyatt Gibson as of today. He's the owner now. The company is his.

Shannon steps towards the ropes, the crowd's tone completely different now as their cheers have changed to a rather mixed reaction.

Shannon Skanes - See, I could leave on that note. I could, but I won't. No, I will tell you this. I am not leaving alone. My family has sold the AW name and rights to Wyatt, but the Championship Wrestling Association name is still mine. Next Saturday, from Prospera Center in Chilliwack, British Columbia, you will see the first CWA event in a very long time. The CWA originals will show this company what this is really all about. Wyatt, enjoy the complaints, the constant overturn, the no shows. You'll be grey in no time, my friend. I feel bad for you fans the most. You have actually paid to watch this garbage.

Shannon tosses the microphone down and exits the ring and starts up the ramp while the crowd boos him for the most part. He pays no attention to anyone as he makes his way up the ramp and into the backstage area.

Ricky Simms - I didn't see that coming.

Henry Lesher - I really don't care, but he's right about this company having a lot of garbage around. Look, we are in Halifax, and we are outside? There is a perfectly good indoor arena nearby.

Ricky Simms - It only seats 5,000 people and we have demand for far more than that.

Henry Lesher - Why? Seriously, why do they want to pay to watch this in the cold? It could snow inside that ring tonight, just like Shannon said.

The camera then switches to backstage where Shannon is heading out the door into the parking lot. He is headed off by Ray Dees.

Ray Dees - Shannon, can we get a comment?

Shannon Skanes - What is there to say?

Ray Dees - Why?

Shannon Skanes - My son ran this company and he got nothing but headaches for it. Now look at tonight Ray. EOS is dominating the card and suddenly the cards are a lot shorter. Everyone and their dog is missing from this event. It's embarrassing that this is being passed off as a pay per view event so close to Battle of the Warriors. BOTW is the biggest event every year and the way I found to save it was to run a CWA Originals event under its banner.

Ray Dees - AW won't hold Battle of the Warriors?

Shannon Skanes - No, they can keep that. Wyatt doesn't need to change any event names or anything. We just reserve the right to use any name we held before AW existed. We will go up head to head with them and show we are superior.

Ray Dees - But then you're trying to make AW look bad.

Shannon Skanes - I don't need to try. AW makes itself look bad.

Shannon steps into his limousine and is then driven away while a stunned Ray watches, his jaw dropped open as he shakes his head.

Donovan Blake vs. Halloween Jack

"Last Resort" by Papa Roach plays as Donovan Blake makes his way out onto the stage. He is given a mixed reaction by the crowd as he stands on the stage and takes in the atmosphere here tonight. He is then attacked from behind by Halloween Jack who gives him a chop block down to the stage. Jack then picks Blake up and slams him down on the steel, then gives him a leg drop across the throat. Jack then drags Blake by the feet to ringside, then stands him up and whips him shoulder first into the steel guard railing. Jack then stands Blake up and rolls him into the ring. Jack then rolls himself into the ring and goes for the pin. 1...2.... kick out by Donovan Blake.

Ricky Simms - Jack is clearly on a mission tonight.

Henry Lesher - Well, he takes tonight's booking as an insult. Shannon's right about this show.

Jack stands Blake up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges in for a shoulder block only to take raised knees to the chest from Blake. Blake then climbs the ropes in the corner. He lands a double axe handle smash to the back on Jack, then places him in a headlock and backs him into the corner. Blake then gives Jack a bulldog to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Halloween Jack. Blake then stands Jack up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Blake then waits for Jack to get to his feet before giving him a baseball slide that sends him into the guard railing. Blake then stands Jack up and gives him a knife edge chop to the chest, then another and then a third. Jack answers with a thumb to the eye and then slams Blake face first into the steel ring steps before he rolls him back into the ring.

Ricky Simms - The outdoor cold has to be making these moves hurt a little more. Though the ring and the ringside area are apparently heated, it still has to be cold for them.

Henry Lesher - They should get used to it. With the Skanes money gone, this company can't afford to heat arenas anymore.

Jack rolls Blake into the ring and then rolls himself into the ring. Jack then stands Blake up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a clothesline to the mat. Jack then stands Blake up and sets him for and then delivers a vertical suplex on him. Jack then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top rope. Jack leaps off and lands a knee drop to the chest on Donovan Blake, then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Blake.

Ricky Simms - Blake is making a good accounting for himself here.

Henry Lesher - In your eyes, maybe. What I see is Halloween Jack being stuffed so far down the card that he has no choice but to quit.

Jack stands Blake up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick, sending him back down to the mat. Jack then stands Blake up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a clothesline right over the corner buckle and out to the floor. Jack then jumps to the top rope and leaps off, landing a flying body press onto Donovan Blake. Jack then rolls himself into the ring where referee Francis Clarke has a few words with him about his tactics in this match. We then see 6Pac Dudley in the front row, a chair in hand. Donovan Blake gets to his feet, just in time to take a chair shot to the face from 6Pac. 6Pac then disappears into the crowd while both Jack and the referee have no clue what just happened. Jack drops and rolls himself out of the ring to the floor. He then stands Blake up and rolls him into the ring. Jack then rolls himself into the ring and looks to the crowd. They give him his usual mixed reaction.

Ricky Simms - It doesn't look like Jack knows anyone hit Blake.

Henry Lesher - No one did. 6Pac did and he's nobody.

Halloween Jack brings Donovan Blake to his feet, then sets for a suplex, but then delivers The Treat on Blake and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3!

Ricky Simms - Donovan Blake is supposed to wrestle again later tonight, but it won't be easy after a chair shot from 6Pac and what could be an injured neck with Jack's finisher there.

Henry Lesher - Well, maybe next week they will give him a real challenge?

Jack rolls himself out of the ring to the floor and then heads up the ramp towards the back, a smile on his face when he tells the camera that he is on his way back and no one will stop him.

Backstage we see Moose walking into a Gym. He looks around and sees that it's pretty much deserted.

Moose: I can't believe they lied. I guess I didn't choke them hard enough.

There's a slight noise behind Moose which causes him to turn around. He walks towards an office in the building and slowly makes his way in. Leech is standing in the gym packing his wrestling gear into a duffle bag. A smile slowly starts to form on Moose's face.

Moose: It's been a while.

Leech instantly jerks and looks up with a look of sheer terror on his face.

Moose: I see you still remember me.

Leech starts to relax a bit, his terrified look starts to form into a sarcastic grin.

Leech: Well, if it isn't my boy Moose. I have to tell you, I've been rather upset as of late. You don't call, you don't write, it's almost as if we're not the lovers we once-

Moose: Shut up. I'm not here to play around. I wan't you in the ring, and tonight. I may have a title match tonight, but I can easily walk all over you, and then enter the Double Ladder match without having broken a sweat. Maybe back in the CWA things would have been different, but not any more. You are nothing but a coward, and a shell of who you once were.

All humor has fanished from Leech's expression.

Leech: Fine, if it means that much to you... I'll just go in there and LET you be a bigger man again. I'll give you're ego one last tug job if that's what you require. I have all I need.

Leech holds up a check.

Leech: I don't need to wrestle anymore, I can train and make a living. If you want to get revenge, you won't get it. All you will get is me, letting you, defeat me.

Leech laughs,

Leech: it's for you're own good.

Leech grabs his bag and passes Moose, who doesn't try to stop him.

Kosmic Kitty vs. Max Cameron vs. Bombshell

"I Am the Body Beautiful" by Salt N Pepa plays as Bombshell comes out onto the stage to loud cheers from the crowd. 6Pac Dudley is at her side, a steel chair in his hand as he smirks, walking her down the ramp towards the ring. Bombshell then makes her way onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. She then tests the ropes while her music fades out and then we hear "How Many Licks" by Lil Kim and Kosmic Kitty steps out onto the stage to a loud ovation from the crowd.

Henry Lesher - Oh God, I have to watch that wrestle tonight?

Ricky Simms - The fans love her.

Henry Lesher - It's cold. Half of them are probably frozen, so they're applauding to avoid death.

Kitty tosses Twinkies out right and left from a basket she has over her arm as she makes her way towards the ring. She then hands the empty basket to a little boy at ringside and gives him a kiss on the cheek before she pulls herself onto the apron and then she leaps over the top rope into the ring. She then looks around at the crowd as her music fades and "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC plays and Max Cameron comes out and stands on the stage where the crowd gives him a mixed response. Max then heads down the ramp, shaking his head when he sees the two women inside the ring. Max then makes his way up the ring steps and then steps through the ropes into the ring where referee Casey Braun then calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - We have triple threat rules in this one.

Henry Lesher - If this doesn't send Max out of the company, nothing will. Off to BLPW he goes.

Max clothesline Bombshell to the mat and then does the same to Kosmic Kitty. He then puts the boots to both women and then stands Bombshell up, whips her off the ropes and gives her a backdrop onto the still downed Kosmic Kitty. He then tries to pin them both, Bombshell on top of Kitty. 1...2... Kitty rolls a shoulder out. Max shakes his head, stands Bombshell up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. Max then stands Kitty up and takes a jawbreaker from Kitty. Kosmic Kitty then stands Max up, whips him off the ropes and gives him an inziguri that sends him face down to the mat. Kitty then lands a rolling thunder onto the back of the fallen Max and rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Max Cameron as Bombshell pulls herself back into the ring.

Ricky Simms - Kitty looked good there.

Henry Lesher - Pervert.

Bombshell gets to her feet as Kitty stands Max up. Kitty then whips Max towards Bombshell and Bombshell gives him a super kick to the jaw and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Kitty pulls Bombshell off of Max. Kitty then stands Bombshell up and the two start trading rights and lefts. Bombshell gives Kitty a series of forearm smashes to the jaw, backing her into the corner buckle. Bombshell then gives Kitty a hip toss to the mat and then places her in a full Nelson, looking to make the other diva submit here. Referee Casey Braun checks for a submission, but Kitty refuses to give up here as Max gets to his feet. Max then grabs Bombshell by the hair and then pulls her face first to the mat, also slamming Kitty's face into the mat as Bombshell still has her in the full Nelson. Bombshell releases Kosmic Kitty and Max pulls Kitty out from under her. He then picks Kitty up and gives her a power slam to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kosmic Kitty.

Ricky Simms - Kitty proving she's a tough one this week.

Henry Lesher - Really? I thought Max was watching his career head back into the toilet again.

Max stands Kitty up, whips her into the buckle and then goes for a shoulder block on her, but Bombshell trips him down to the mat and then she quickly applies an ankle lock submission hold on Max. The referee is now asking Max if he gives up, but Max refuses to do so. Kosmic Kitty climbs the ropes in the corner. She then leaps off the top rope and gives Bombshell a dropkick to the face to break her hold on Max. Kosmic Kitty then applies an ankle lock on Max the same as Bombshell has just done. Bombshell, meanwhile, gets to her feet while checking for blood on her lip from the kick to the face. Bombshell charges at Kitty and goes for an elbow smash on her. Kitty rolls out of the way and Bombshell's elbow lands across the back of Max Cameron. Bombshell then turns to Kitty and takes a series of knife edge chops from Kitty. Kitty then whips Bombshell off the ropes and both women clothesline each other to the mat.

Ricky Simms - This could work to Max's advantage.

Henry Lesher - If he has a brain and the jury is out on that.

Max uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet, one of his ankles clearly giving him trouble. We then hear "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out onto the stage. Max turns to the stage and motions Rated R to the ring. Kosmic Kitty then rolls max into a school boy pin. 1...2...3! Kosmic Kitty gets the win over a distracted Max Cameron.

Henry Lesher - Oh God no.

Ricky Simms - Huge win for Kosmic Kitty this week!

Henry Lesher - God, please no.

Max cameron pleads his case to referee Casey Braun and then turns and takes a Bitch Kick from Bombshell that sends him down to the mat, flat on his back and apparently out cold. Bombshell then exits the ring shaking her head while kitty rushes to Rated R and embraces him on the stage. The crowd actually appears to be cheering for local boy Rated R.

Henry Lesher - These fans do appear to have taste though. Of course, this again may be delirium because they are freezing to death.

Wyatt Gibson is seen sitting in his office where Crystal Braun is set to interview him.

Crystal Braun - Wyatt, no one expected this.

Wyatt Gibson - Oh I know. People were speculating on everyone from Q to Dante to Ash on who would take over from me. Now that I run this company, things will be run my way. No one will intimidate me or tell me what to do.

Crystal Braun - Will you stay on as GM or hand that job to someone else?

Wyatt Gibson - I don't need anyone for GM. I intend to hire myself an advisor, someone this company should know well, but I call the shots.

Crystal Braun - Advisor, do I know him?

Wyatt Gibson - *laughs* Yeah, I imagine that you do. Next week I may reveal that advisor to the world. Until then, it's no one's business.

Crystal Braun - What does this mean to EOS?

Wyatt Gibson - EO what? Vigilante never showed up this week, Halloween Jack is a joke, Frank is a loser, Moose is going to fail. I don't have to deal with them or even speak to them. They are imploding already.

Crystal Braun - The city of Halifax is watching an outdoor event in below freezing weather. Doesn't this concern you?

Wyatt Gibson - It's Halifax, not Bermuda. They are dressed for the weather.

Crystal Braun - There have been signs already that perhaps these fans will not boo Rated R and may go against the typical fan favorites throughout this event. How does that affect your job?

Wyatt Gibson - I don't care who they cheer for. I still get my money and my company scores another huge win, now out from under the Skanes' family shadow. This is a great day for wrestling.

Crystal Braun - That is a matter of opinion, I guess.

Open Monarch Challenge

We head to the ring and see that the four participants for this match are already inside the ring. The winner will be December's Monarch over AW. The rules are that two men will wrestle at a time while the other two stand in opposite corners and can tag in to face whoever they want to. Henry Rolls and Craven Broderick step out onto the apron and Donovan Blake and 6Pac Dudley opt to start the match while referee Mark Davis calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Looks like Mark Davis is back calling wrestling matches in AW.

Henry Lesher - The Skanes family is gone. The rules all change now in this crappy shack of a company.

Ricky Simms - The winner of this match will be the last one left standing in the ring of the four here.

6Pac locks up with Donovan. Donovan breaks that with a knee to the gut and then gives 6Pac a series of knife edge chops that back him into the ropes. 6Pac answers with an eye gouge on Donovan and then places his throat over the top rope and tries to choke him out while the referee threatens to disqualify him. 6Pac then releases that, whips Blake off the ropes and gives him a dropkick to the mat. 6Pac then does a kip up to his feet and then lands a leg drop across the throat on Blake and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Donovan Blake.

Ricky Simms - 6Pac in control early here as these two renew their fight from earlier.

Henry Lesher - It wasn't a fight. 6Pac drilled him with a chair.

6Pac stands Blake up, whips him off the ropes and Blake ducks a clothesline and then gives 6Pac a series of kicks to the gut before he then whips 6Pac off the ropes and then levels him with a round house kick to the jaw. Donovan Blake then rolls to the corner and tags in Craven Broderick. Craven steps through the ropes into the ring and then starts putting the boots to 6Pac before he has had a chance to get to his feet. Craven then stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a side slam to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by 6Pac. Craven then stands 6Pac up, whips him into a neutral corner buckle and then charges into raised knees from 6Pac. 6Pac then gives Craven a clothesline to the mat and then tags in Henry Rolls. Henry slowly steps through the ropes into the ring and then circles a still dazed Craven Broderick.

Ricky Simms - Henry's first time inside an AW ring tonight.

Henry Lesher - Judging from his appearance, this is his first time outside of the local Krispy Kreme or Tim Horton's or whatever they have here.

Henry grabs Craven by the hair and tries to slam his face into the mat, but Craven blocks it. Craven then tries to pull the feet out from under Henry, but his center of gravity is too low and he is simply too well balanced to fall down so easily. Craven then thumbs Henry in the eye before getting to his feet. Craven then comes off the ropes and goes for a clothesline on Henry which staggers him, but does not bring him down. Craven tries another clothesline, but it does not being Henry down. Donovan Blake climbs the rope in the nearest corner behind Henry and then leaps off, drilling Henry in the back with a dropkick that sends him face first to the mat. Craven then rolls Henry over for the pin attempt. 1...2... Henry rolls a shoulder out.

Ricky Simms - Henry Rolls seems to be doing well for himself in there.

Henry Lesher - Maybe he thinks the Monarch in AW gets unlimited Burger King for the month.

Craven slowly pulls Henry to his feet and then tags in 6Pac Dudley. 6Pac climbs the nearest corner and leaps off, landing a dropkick to the chest on Henry that sends him back down to the mat, this time flat on his back. He then goes for the pin. 1...2... Donovan Blake pulls 6Pac out of the ring to the floor by both feet. Blake then picks 6Pac up and drops him over the steel guard railing, catching the throat of Dudley on the unforgiving structure. Donovan Blake then rolls 6Pac into the ring where Henry Rolls is up to his hands and knees. Henry goes for the pin on 6Pac. 1...2...3! Henry Rolls eliminates 6Pac!

Ricky Simms - I didn't see that coming.

Henry Lesher - No one can see anything with that planet inside the ring.

Ricky Simms - That's harsh.

Henry Lesher - Parents in the front row are strapping their kids down so they don't get sucked into orbit around the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man in there.

Henry gets to his feet only to take a round house kick to the chin from Donovan Blake. Donovan Blake then goes to the corner with Henry in a headlock and then lands a bulldog from the second rope. He then turns Henry over and goes for the pin. 1...2... Henry gets a foot on the bottom rope to stay alive in this one. Outside the ring, we see 6Pac getting to his feet and he looks unimpressed. Donovan Blake stands Henry Rolls up and whips him into the corner buckle. He then charges for a shoulder block, but Henry ducks under him and sends him over the top rope to the floor. Well, he either ducked or fell to one knee because he's tired. On the floor, Donovan gets to his feet and turns to take a clothesline to the floor from 6Pac who then picks Donovan up and drops his throat onto the unforgiving steel guard railing to the delight of the crowd. 6Pac then rolls Donovan into the ring. Henry falls onto Donovan and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Henry Rolls eliminates a second man in this match!

Ricky Simms - 6Pac repaid the favor he got from Donovan Blake tonight!

Henry Lesher - Usually he gets paid for favors, I hear. Anyway, yes, Donut Kong is doing well and making a mockery of this night as Shannon predicted before we even got started.

Henry Rolls is out of breath as he slowly gets to his feet only to take a series of knife edge chops from Craven Broderick. Craven then whips Henry into the corner buckle and then backs him out of there and then gives him a side Russian leg sweep to the mat where he then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Henry and the crowd cheers the underdog on. There is even a chant started for Henry.

Henry Lesher - These fans are chanting for me! I am finally accepted!

Ricky Simms - I think they're cheering for Henry Rolls.

Henry Lesher - Of course and... I was just saying what Roly-Poly Ollie must be... you know... thinking.

Ricky Simms - Our Monarch will either be a fat man or a crossdresser.

Henry Lesher - Even I am dumbfounded with the reality of that statement...

Craven stands Henry up, whips him off the ropes and tries for a shoulder block, but Henry is simply too big and he shoulders Craven to the mat. Henry then goes to the ropes, though the crowd screams at him not to climb them. Henry climbs to the second rope, already out of breath. He then goes for an elbow smash from there only to find no one home as Craven rolls out of the way and then Craven goes for the pin on the winded Henry who is experiencing pain in his elbow from the fall. 1...2...3! Craven is the new Monarch of AW!

Henry Lesher - Well, that should kill another title in this company. This is why Vigilante didn't show up tonight. This company is a joke.

Ricky Simms - Craven Broderick is your new AW Monarch. I don't know what to say. There he is. There she is. That is the king and queen of December. Happy Holidays and sleep with one eye open.

Craven blows kisses to the fans as he leaves the ring and heads towards the back, a stunned crowd watching their newest champion celebrate his big win.

Ricky Simms - You have to wonder if 6Pac and Donovan could have focused more on the others in this match instead of their hatred for each other if things could have been different.

Henry Lesher - No, things would have been the same. They're just not very good at the whole wrestling thing.

Backstage Moose storms into Wyatt's office. He's extremely pissed off about his confrontation with Leech.

Moose: I want Leech in the ring. I don't care when it is. Tonight, next week, next month, I don't care. I want him in the ring, and I want him to fight. I don't care how you do it, just do it.

Wyatt: I have enough problems of my own. Noah and this power-struggle he's started is much more of a concern than someone like yourself seeking revenge.

Moose gets up close to him.

Moose: It's not that hard, there's a simple way to get him into the ring with me, and there's a simple way to make him fight.

Wyatt: I'm all ears.

Frank Merritt vs. Hoshi Yakamoto

“Gods and Monsters” by John 5 starts one minute into the song just when the drums and bass has kicked in and Frank’s roaring mug is shown on the big screen as he stomps out from the back followed by Destiny. Frank stops at the top of the entrance ramp and flexes his arms in front of him and roars, causing his face to redden and the veins in his neck and forehead to bulge. Destiny hooks her left arm into Frank’s right as he heads down the ramp towards the ring while the fans boo him and pelt him with soda cups, trash, and other debris.

Ricky Simms - These fans aren’t showing the Monster any love!

Henry Lesher - Frank is the best "Big Man" this company has! He's a God in that ring!

Frank is at ringside and in single bound leaps up and onto the ring apron in single bound. He pushes the top rope down and enters the ring and stops in the center while the arena is blanketed in darkness with only a single spotlight to illuminate him. Green and silver pyros erupt from each of the four corners simultaneously while Frank again flexes and roars. On the outside of the ring, Destiny applauds Frank and beams proudly at her man in the ring. His music then fades and we hear "Surfing with the Alien" by Joe Satriani and we see Hoshi Yakamoto making her way out to the ramp, Bart Phillips close behind her. They receive the loudest ovation of anyone who has come out here so far tonight. Hoshi pulls herself onto the apron and then leaps over the top rope into the ring. Referee Francis Clarke then calls for the bell and the Xtreme title match is underway.

Ricky Simms - So Canada is not a Frank Merritt fan. That shouldn't surprise me.

Henry Lesher - I hear he gave a lecture on a street corner earlier today about why Canada sucks. He was throwing rocks at old people, too and telling people to stop being so Canadian. They just took it and apologized to him because they're Canadian.

Ricky Simms - I like Canadians.

Henry Lesher - You would, I mean, look at you.

Hoshi moves in for a lock up with Frank, but then ducks and cuts the feet out from under him. Hoshi then rolls herself out of the ring to the floor and reaches under the ring and pulls out two trash can lids. She then rolls herself into the ring and quickly gets to her feet, then starts drilling Frank over the skull with the trash can lids. Hoshi then slams them together on either side of Frank's head. Frank falls back to the mat and Hoshi tosses the lids aside and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Frank Merritt. Hoshi then rolls herself out of the ring and again reaches under the ring, frantic to find something else to get an advantage on the much larger Frank Merritt in this match up.

Ricky Simms - Hoshi looks ready to have a heart attack.

Henry Lesher - Ask me if I would care.

Hoshi finds a kendo stick under the ring and then rolls herself back into the ring. She quickly gets to her feet and brings the weapon back, starts her follow through and Frank catches her wrist in time to prevent the shot. Frank then pulls the kendo stick from her grip and then slaps her across the head with it, then the other side of the head. He then stands behind her and starts choking her with it while a sadistic smile crosses his face. Bart Phillips climbs onto the apron and screams at Frank. Frank then releases Hoshi and swings the kendo stick at Bart. He catches it, but then Frank knocks him off the apron with a vicious clothesline that sends him down to the floor. Frank then turns back to Hoshi and starts whipping her across the back with the kendo stick.

Ricky Simms - This is exactly what Hoshi was trying to avoid.

Henry Lesher - Then she should never have signed the contract for this match because this is what she is going to get.

Frank tosses the kendo stick aside and then tosses Hoshi out of the ring through the middle and top rope. Frank then drops and rolls himself out to the floor. Frank reaches under the ring and pulls out a table. He then quickly sets it up on the floor, a smile on his face. He turns to Hoshi and stands her up. Bart Phillips then attacks Frank with a chair shot to the back of the neck. Bart then crowns Frank with a chair shot across the top of the head. Frank drops to his knees and Hoshi gives him a DDT to the floor. She then tries for the pin on the floor. 1...2... kick out by Frank Merritt. Hoshi then goes to the ring apron, jumps onto it and then lands a moonsault onto Frank from there and again she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out again by Frank Merritt.

Ricky Simms - Hoshi again almost had Frank for the three count.

Henry Lesher - There is no way that twig will defeat that monster.

Hoshi looks under the ring and pulls out a chair. As she draws it out from under the ring, Frank starts to get to his feet. She starts to bring it down on Frank, but he is able to catch her hand for the second time in this match. He then gives her a brutal kick to the gut, pulls the chair from her hand and then clubs her across the skull with the chair and then he gives her a clothesline, using the chair in places of his arm and bringing Hoshi to the floor with a sickening thud. Frank then smiles as he looks down on the now bloodied Hoshi and he nods his head.

Ricky Simms - Hoshi is really out of her element in this match. I admire her courage, but this is Frank's match.

Henry Lesher - Courage? This is pure stupidity, Rick. She should have handed him the belt and kept her pretty face. Now she is going to lose them both in one beautiful match.

Frank places a foot on Hoshi's chest for the pin. 1...2... Hoshi rolls a shoulder out. Frank then turns to referee Francis Clarke and argues about the speed of his count. Frank then grabs Hoshi by the hair and pulls her to her feet. He then picks her up by the throat and then choke slams her through the table Frank had set up at ringside. Frank then goes for the pin. 1...2... Max Cameron pulls Frank off of Hoshi! Max stands Frank up, then whips him shoulder first into the steel corner post. He then picks Frank up and slams him onto the floor. Max then picks up the ring steps and slams them into the ribs of Frank Merritt and then he hops over the guard railing and disappears into the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Max comes out here and picks a fight with a member of EOS!

Henry Lesher - Hoshi still won't beat Frank. Trust me.

Hoshi crawls over and goes for the pin on Frank. 1...2... kick out by Frank Merritt. Hoshi then uses the ring apron to slowly pull herself up while Bart Phillips comes over to her and checks on her. Frank, meanwhile is up to his hands and knees and Bart gives him a kick to the ribs. Hoshi then climbs onto the apron and then leaps off, landing a scissor kick across the back of Frank's neck and then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... Frank rolls a shoulder out in time. Hoshi then gets to her feet and heads to the ropes. She makes her way to the top and then leaps off for a moonsault, but she is caught in mid air by Frank who then gives her a power bomb to the floor. Bart charges right into a clothesline from Frank who is running purely on adrenaline at this point. Frank then picks Hoshi up and choke slams her onto the ring steps and then goes for the pin on the floor. 1...2...3! Frank Merritt is the new Xtreme champion!

Ricky Simms - Hoshi has nothing to be ashamed of in this one, losing a very close battle to Frank Merritt. I am certain he will want a shot at Max after tonight's done as well.

Medics come out to attend to Frank and Hoshi as we look backstage.

Backstage Leech storms into Wyatt's office.

Leech: What the fuck is this?!

Wyatt throws his hands up in the air in frustration.

Wyatt: Now what do you want? What's it with people storming in here tonight? I have enough problems of my own. Whatever problems you have, take them elsewhere, I'm busy.

Leech, much like Moose earlier, gets up real close in Wyatt's face.

Leech: Listen, buddy, I've been drawing cash in this organization long before you tried to cash in on the CWA's success after it folded. A lot of the money that lines you're pockets has my blood spilled all over it. I'm sick, to death, of being fucked with. You can either listen up, or I fuck you up. Honestly, I'm hoping for the latter.

This causes Wyatt to laugh.

Wyatt: Well, I'm glad you're in the fighting spirit.

Leech: I'm always in the fighting spirit when someone fucks me over, Wyatt.

Wyatt has a smile face wide.

Wyatt: But Leech, whatever do you mean?

Leech: I know you stopped payment on my check, don't play stupid with me. I'm here, to get my cash right now. I don't want to hear that you don't have it either, that would be the worst thing you could ever say. So Wyatt, hand it over if you know what's good for you.

Wyatt: I'd love to Leech, but you aren't owed any money. You are a Wrestler, and you get paid to wrestle. I'm not sure who told you we'd pay you to train new guys with you're lackluster, and so called, skills, but once I found out about it, I stopped it. If you want to get paid, you have to wrestle, it's that simple.

Leech is shaking in anger.

Leech: Fine! If that's what it takes, that's what I'm bound to do. I'm telling you this though, I will NOT face Moose. I know he's behind all of this bullshit. I'll wrestle, under that one condition, you don't book me against Moose.

Leech storms out of Wyatt's office and slams the door behind him.

The Moose vs. Rated R vs. Maybon vs. Tommy Purr

"Creep" by Radiohead plays as De'Anton Maybon starts making his way towards the ring. He gets a mixed reception from the crowd, many of them already chanting for Rated R as they know the main event is set to begin. Maybon just shakes his head when he reaches ringside and then pulls himself onto the apron. He steps through the ropes into the ring, though Henry Rolls isn't out here to manage him right now.

Ricky Simms - I understand that Henry Rolls is still catching his breath from his match earlier tonight. He apparently said something about the elevation, though we are at sea level so...

Henry Lesher - He probably found the caterer's table and is doing his best vacuum impression.

Maybon paces inside the ring as his music fades and then "I Feel Alright" by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers starts to play and the crowd boos The Moose as he comes out onto the stage. Moose just shakes his head and then starts down the ramp towards the ring while the chants for Rated R get louder. Moose makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. A "Moose sucks" chant starts as the Canadian crowd make it clear whose side they are on.

Ricky Simms - Canada has been called bizarro world before.

Henry Lesher - The fans are winning me over here, cheering for their hero Ryan Yorke.

Moose paces inside the ring as his music fades and then we hear "Walk Idiot Walk" by The Hives and Tommy Purr comes out to a rather mixed reaction from the crowd as he holds the AW title high above his head. Tommy then starts down the ramp towards the ring. He stops at ringside and spots a fan holding up a Rated R sign. He takes it from the fan and starts arguing with him while nearby fans boo Tommy. We then see Rated R rushing out from the back and rushing down the ramp. he calls to Tommy and then broadsides him with the CWA title belt, sending him to the floor to the delight of the crowd. Rated R then stands Tommy up and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself into the ring as well. Referee Mark Davis calls for the bell to get the action started in this double title match.

Ricky Simms - The fans love Ryan, cheating and all.

Henry Lesher - Halifax is a wonderful city.

Ricky Simms - You were putting Canada down, Doc.

Henry Lesher - Canada is a hole, but Halifax is where people cheer for Rated R. That makes them good enough to be American.

Rated R rolls himself out of the ring and grabs a ladder from ringside while Moose rolls out of the ring on the opposite side and does the same. They each slide a ladder in while Maybon brawls on the mat with Tommy Purr. Maybon stands Purr up and then gives him a face buster onto the ladder Moose slid into the ring. Maybon then greets Moose with an eye gouge and then whips him through the ropes and right back out to the floor. Maybon then turns and takes a clothesline from Rated R that sends him over the top rope and out to the floor. Rated R then sets up the ladder he slid into the ring and starts to climb it while the fans cheer him on. Tommy Purr reaches for the ladder and starts climbing up under Rated R. Ryan kicks down at Tommy. Tommy grabs the feet of Rated R and the ladder becomes unstable. It rocks back and forth and then falls sideways, sending both Rated R and Tommy into the ropes where they become momentarily tangled and then they both land on the canvas.

Ricky Simms - Ryan takes the first shot at grabbing a title, but Tommy would have none of it,

Henry Lesher - Tommy and Ryan should work out peace here and agree to split the titles.

Ricky Simms - That falls under the title of things that will not happen tonight.

Moose pulls himself into the ring and sets up the ladder that he brought into the ring under the AW title belt. Maybon then pulls himself into the ring and gets to his feet where he starts trading rights and lefts with Moose. Moose then rakes Maybon's eyes along the top rope. Maybon then responds with an elbow to the throat on Moose and then slams his head into the ladder. Maybon folds the ladder and backs himself into the corner. He charges at Moose, but Moose dropkicks the ladder right into Maybon. Maybon falls onto the mat with the ladder on top of him. Moose then steps on the ladder, jumps on it twice and then jumps off and grabs the ladder from Maybon. Moose starts to set up the ladder, but Rated R grabs Moose, turns him around and then gives him a thumb to the eye before he then knocks the ladder to the mat. He tries to DDT Moose onto the ladder, but Moose stops him and then executes a modified backdrop on Rated R to break free of the headlock. Moose then crouches over Rated R and starts wailing away on him while the fans start another chant for Rated R.

Ricky Simms - Why would people cheer for a man like Ryan Yorke?

Henry Lesher - Hey, Ryan is misunderstood by everyone else. Halifax gets it.

Moose stands Rated R up and whips him into the corner buckle. He then charges and lands a series of shoulder blocks on Rated R. Moose then turns and takes a series of rights and lefts from Tommy Purr. Tommy then whips Moose off the ropes and backdrops him onto one of the fallen ladders. Tommy then sets up a ladder under the CWA title belt and starts climbing while fans plead for Ryan to stop him. Maybon starts making his way up the other side of the ladder. They both reach the top and Maybon and Tommy start trading punches. Rated R then shoves the ladder and it falls sideways, sending both of them over the top rope and crashing to the floor which brings the crowd to its feet.

Ricky Simms - Maybe the cold has frozen the brains of the fans tonight.

Henry Lesher - Oh sure, when they disagree with you, that makes them insane.

Rated R sets up the ladder under the CWA titles again and now he starts making his way up the ladder. Now, it's Moose who is headed up the other side of the ladder. This is another instance in which both wrestlers reach the top at the same time. Rated R eye gouges Moose. Moose grabs Rated R by the hair and then dives off the ladder. Moose drives Rated R face first to the mat and then the ladder lands on both men down on the mat while the crowd cheers the sheer violence and impact here. Tommy grabs the bottom rope and pulls himself into the ring, blood running down his cheek from a cut on the forehead.

Ricky Simms - These guys are already showing the wear and tear of this double ladder match. This could shorten careers.

Henry Lesher - If this was meant to shorten careers, I would insist on Hoshi and Kosmic Kitty being inside this ring right now.

Tommy sets a ladder underneath the AW title and then slowly starts making his way up it. In the nearest corner, Maybon starts climbing the ropes. The crowd cheers as Tommy nears the top of the ladder. Maybon launches himself off the top, grabs Tommy around the waist and pulls him off the ladder. He then turns him in mid air and manages to power slam him to the mat. The crowd starts a "Holy shit" chant as both men lie on the mat. Moose is on his feet now and is readying a ladder beneath the CWA title. Moose starts up the ladder, but sees Rated R is on his way to ruin this attempt. Moose then launches himself off the ladder and clotheslines Rated R to the mat. Moose then gets to his feet and starts trading punches with Maybon. Maybon thumbs Moose in the eye and then brings him to the nearest corner and starts giving him kicks to the ribs. Maybon then gives Moose a hip toss to the mat while we see Rated R rolling himself out of the ring to the floor. Maybon gives Moose a leg drop across the throat and then he goes to the ladder that is beneath the CWA title belt. Maybon starts up the ladder, but we see Rated R bringing the ring bell into the ring with a sadistic smile on his face.

Ricky Simms - This doesn't look good.

Henry Lesher - He can end the match whenever he wants now. This is great.

Rated R drills Maybon in the back of the legs with the ring bell, bringing him down quickly off the ladder. Rated R then gives Maybon a shot to the head with the ring bell, his smile growing wider. He then turns and sees Tommy charging too late. Tommy drives the second ladder right into the ribs of Rated R and sends him through the ropes and out to the floor. The ring bell falls from Ryan's grip and a security guard takes it and hands it back to the timekeeper who wisely hides it behind his chair. Inside the ring, Tommy sets up the ladder under the AW title belt and then he starts to climb. Moose reaches up and gives Tommy a series of double axe handle smashes across the back and then gives him a backslide off the ladder to the mat. Moose then rolls Tommy out of the ring to the floor. Moose then turns and sees a very bloodied Maybon getting to his feet. Moose gives Maybon a clothesline to the mat. Moose then stands Maybon up and whips him into the corner buckle. Moose then charges straight into a clothesline from Maybon that sends Moose to the mat. Maybon then starts up the ladder beneath the AW title belt while we see Rated R rolling himself into the ring. Rated R gets to his feet, taps Maybon on the shoulder and then throws salt up at him, catching him in the eye. Rated R then rubs any salt on his hands into the wounds on Maybon's forehead with that sadistic smile once again on his face.

Ricky Simms - I cannot imagine the pain.

Henry Lesher - I love this. He is actually rubbing salt in the wounds of Maybon!

Rated R then rolls Maybon out to the floor and then starts up the ladder after the AW title belt. Moose is on his feet now and he grabs Rated R by the hair and slams his face into the ladder. He then gives Rated R a belly to back suplex to the mat, then stands him up and sets him for a vertical suplex. He gives Rated R a vertical suplex to the mat and then folds the ladder under the CWA title up and drills it into his ribs. Moose then climbs the ropes in the nearest corner, ladder in one hand. He then turns and puts the ladder in both hands and then leaps off, sending the ladder into the face of Rated R. Moose then sets up the ladder under the CWA title again and starts to make his way up the ladder. Moose reaches the top of the ladder and he frees the CWA title from its restraint. He then sits atop the ladder and shows the belt to the booing fans.

Ricky Simms - Moose gets the CWA title belt, the ones Rated R came into this match holding. The fans are not impressed.

Henry Lesher - I agree. Moose should have gone after Tommy's belt and left Ryan's alone. It's rude taking his belt in his hometown.

Maybon charges and knocks the ladder that Moose is sitting on over, sending him right over the top rope where he clears the security railing and lands hard on the floor outside of it. The crowd cheers and Maybon bows before them while Tommy Purr finally drags himself into the ring and into this match. Tommy gets to his feet while Maybon puts the boots to Rated R. Maybon then stands rated R up and whips him into Tommy and then gives Rated R an inverted atomic drop before he misses with a clothesline on Tommy, Purr ducking it and then giving Maybon a knee to the ribs. Tommy then slams Maybon's face into the corner buckle and then gives him a German suplex to the mat, then stands him up and gives him a second and then stands him up a third time for another. Tommy then releases Maybon and then sets the ladder up under the only remaining belt, the AW title belt that Tommy entered this match defending.

Ricky Simms - One title is down and one is still left to go. Can Tommy grab it?

Henry Lesher - If he does, Halifax might burn this arena down. Of course, they may do that for heat anyway.

Tommy makes his way up the ladder, but Maybon grabs his foot to prevent him from getting any further while Rated R grabs the other side of the ladder and he starts slowly making his way up while the fans start another chant for him. Tommy turns and starts kicking away at Maybon. Maybon refuses to let go. Tommy looks over his shoulder and sees Rated R climbing the other side of the ladder. Tommy then takes his free foot and actually kicks the rope. The ladder falls over and both Tommy and Rated R are knocked to the mat while Maybon looks on, baffled and still holding the foot of Tommy Purr. Maybon then turns Tommy over and places him in a Boston Crab.

Ricky Simms - Tommy sacrificed himself to prevent Rated R from getting the belt.

Henry Lesher - That's what it takes.

Rated R starts pulling himself to his feet while Moose is seen limping as he walks to the guard railing and then steps over it. Rated R starts to set the ladder up under the AW title belt. He then sees Moose reaching for the ropes to pull himself in and Rated R goes for the baseball slide. Moose steps out of the way and Rated R crashes to the floor. Moose then starts putting the boots to Rated R while the crowd boos. Moose then rolls himself into the ring and sees Maybon has Tommy in a Boston Crab. Moose nods his head and then headlocks Maybon and gives him a bulldog to the mat. Moose then readies the ladder under the AW title belt. Rated R rolls himself into the ring as Tommy Purr reaches for the ladder. Moose stands Tommy Purr up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a backdrop to the mat. Rated R then drops the ladder that had been beneath the CWA title onto the head of Moose. Rated R then clubs Moose over the head with the ladder again before he then drops the ladder and gives him a clothesline over the top rope and out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Rated R doing what he has to in order to prevent Moose from unifying the title belts.

Henry Lesher - You realize Ryan wanted to lose the CWA title since Shannon left, you know. That title doesn't deserve Ryan as champion.

Rated R sets the ladder up under the AW title belt. He then grabs Tommy by the hair, stands him up and whips him into the corner buckle. He then turns his attention to Maybon who is standing bloodied in the far corner. Rated R charges at Maybon, but Maybon brings a foot up and kicks Rated R in the chest and sends him falling to the mat. Maybon then heads for the ladder and makes certain is it set below the title belt. Moose rolls himself into the ring and sees Maybon climbing. Moose grabs Maybon by the foot. Maybon turns and jumps off the ladder and lands a double axe handle smash across the back of Moose while Tommy Purr rolls himself into the ring.

Ricky Simms - This match has become complete chaos.

Henry Lesher - No, it's anarchy and it's what this company is supposed to be about.

Tommy starts up the ladder while Maybon brawls with Moose in the ropes. Rated R crawls to the ladder and quickly starts making his way up towards the top. Tommy reaches the top first and reaches for the belt. Rated R gives him a punch to the throat and then shoves him down off the ladder. Rated R then reaches towards the belt. Moose and Maybon both notice how close Ryan is and they make their way to the ladder. Ryan unhooks the belt as they shove the ladder over. Ryan clears the top rope and he also clears the railing and then he lands in the front row, but he has the AW title belt in his hands and he holds it high, causing Mark Davis to call for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Rated R did it! He is the AW champ once again!

Henry Lesher - Well, it's a shame Moose had to ruin Tommy's title reign like that by stealing the CWA title.

Ricky Simms - Oh grow up.

Tommy Purr rolls himself out of the ring to the floor and he heads off in the direction of Rated R while the crowd cheers. Security rushes out as Moose and Maybon brawl inside the ring, arguing over who caused Rated R to become AW champ. Medics are also coming out to attend to all four bloodied wrestlers.

Ricky Simms - This has settled nothing, but Rated R got the other major title and Moose won back the CWA title. Tommy is going to be obsessed with getting his title back now. Any idea of these two being a team just died.

Henry Lesher - Shannon was right. Three EOS wins in five matches. It's exactly how he said it was. We need some justice around here, someone or something that can destroy EOS.

Ricky Simms - Oh give it a rest, Doc. This win was a split. Frank deserved that win and Halloween Jack got a hand he didn't expect from 6Pac. They're not walking over this company.

Henry Lesher - Hey, a couple of months from now when there's no one wrestling here that isn't EOS, you'll have to admit I was right. Moose ruined the show.

Ricky Simms - There's no talking to you. Well, fans, next week we are back with another edition of Insurgence. We will see you then and see how all of this plays out!

We fade to black with fans lifting the bloodied Rated R up and carrying him as their hero.
