All In DVD Taping

[Tito Capaci]

Before the opening song begins to play, the screen in the arena flicks on where a camera is focused on the parking deck at the Star Pavilion. In just seconds, a gray Hummer pulls up and parks. The crowd erupts into a mixture of boos and cheers as BBK and Tosha get out of the passenger side while Midnight Felon climbs out of the driver's seat. They shake their head and start to chuckle as someone approaches them. It's the POW owner, Tito Capaci.

Felon: Titty, you have more balls than I thought coming into this parking deck all alone to meet up with BBK and myself.

Tito: I'm getting my belts back tonight, ladies. Guaranteed.

BBK: Really? That will be a trick. Seeing as how, well, you know.

BBK and Felon reposition the the belts on their shoulders just to emphasize the fact that they have them. Capaci smirks.

Tito: Yeah, Felon, I noticed you used that belt as a hood ornament and strapped it over the grill over your hummer. That was a nice touch. I wish BBK would have had the same sense to put the belt he's holding over the grill of THAT truck. (pointing to Tosha)

Immediately, BBK drops both belts and takes a swing at Capaci who ducks under it and delivers a low blow to the family jewels of BBK. Capaci follows that up with a double ax handle to the back, but Felon jumps in and hits a hard clothesline on Capaci. Just when it looks like it's going to be a 2 on 1 fight, someone else jumps in. He's got a baseball bat and a blask ski mask on. He's wearing black jeans and a black, POW hoodie sweatshirt, so nobody can tell who it is. He whacks each member of Murderous Intent with the baseball bat a few times and drops the bat. He walks off as Capaci wipes a bit of blood from his lip. Capaci addresses the two men who have just been abused by the masked man with the baseball.

Capaci: That was my partner. I don't think you two are going to get along with him.

As the camera flicks off, "Stand" by Blues Traveler begins to play throughout the arena as fans stand to their feet and cheer a the second DVD Taping for POW, "All In" is about to get underway! The screen now shows highlights from the various "Road to All In Shows" As the song winds sown, Alex Pilgrim and Tony Almanti take over at the announcer's table.

Pilgrim: No doubt about it, Tito Capaci and his partner are playing for keeps when it comes to getting these Tag Team Championship belts back! Welcome to Power On Wrestling's second installment of DVD tapings, "All In." I'm your host, Alex Pilgrim and with me as always, the always entertaining, the always electrifying, Tony Almanti.

Tony Almanti: Tonight.....wow. It's going to be huge. Easily the biggest night in POW history. The POW Owner,Tito Capaci, is lacing up the boots and we have already seen, he still has a little pop. The POW Heavyweight, a scaffold match, a 10 man battle royal.....AWESOMENESS DEFINED!!!!!

Pilgrim: There are a lot of great matches on this card, but it all comes to a head when Shawn Stevens takes on Danny Danielson for the POW Heavyweight Championship!

Almanti: Let's get this party started!

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: All 10 of our competitors are in the ring. I would say all 10 men, but as you can see, we POW has its first female competitor in this 10 man battle royal!

Almanti: Which is an absolute travesty to the sport. Women are on this planet for three things: cooking, cleaning, and sex. The only wrestling a chick needs to be doing in between the sheets.

Pilgrim: Tony, this is 2007. Women are equals in this country now.

Almanti: Alex, just because your politically correct, doesn't mean your actually correct. I heard a great man say that once.

Tanner Dutton calls for the bell to get the match started!

10 Man Battle Royal for TV Title Shot on 3-29-07

The bell rings signalling the beginning of the match. In the ring stands Diablo Raid, Black, Mr. Showtime, Fire, Victor Bloodmoon, Eddie Buchalini, Chris Knight, Bubba, Shane Hunter, and Shadow. The ring announcer, Richard Huff, is standing next to the ring as are four POW officials by each corner. Huff is going over the rules for the match.

Huff: The following match is the ten person battle royal. The only way to be eliminated in this match is to be thrown over the top rope with both feet hitting the floor. This match will have a twenty minute time limit. Competitors I will announce the start of the match. Are you all ready?

All ten stars acknowlege Huff with a nod or signal. Huff nods back.

Huff: Alright. Good luck. Begin!

The bell rings an immediately Fire and Showtime run for Bubba and start trying to throw him over the top rope. Black grabs Diablo Raid and within seconds tosses him over. Diablo hits the floor and jumps up in rage.

Eliminated by Black: Diablo Raid @ 0:30

Pilgrim: The dominant Black has not been seen since First Rights, but right there he shows he hasn't lost a step.

Fire and Showtime double suplex Bubba over the ropes on the opposite side. Bubba lands on the apron and goes to get back in but Showtime dropkicks Bubba's face and Fire hits his knees with a dropkick of her own. Bubba goes flying from the apron. Fire and Showtime get up and stand in a corner while the rest of the melee continues.

Eliminated by Showtime and Fire: Bubba @ 1:23

Pilgrim: The couple takes out their former adversary with a duo dropkick.
Almanti: Bubba flew off that apron, I mean flew. Has he even landed yet?

Almanti was right, Bubba lands on the barricade and gets up. He flips off the crowd and Showtime and Fire before leaving. Eddie Buchalini and Shane Hunter are battling while Shadow and Chris Knight are exchanging blows. Showtime, Fire, Black and Victor are watching the action from corners. Black runs at Eddie and Shane and yakuza kicks the back of Shane Hunter sending him right into Eddie who kicks Shane in the gut and hits the E-Drop. Eddie hops back up proud of himself but turns right into Victor who clotheslines him to the mat.

Pilgrim: Eddie Buchalini can't win the match like that. He should have tossed Hunter over rather than use that finishing manuver.
Almanti: Well now he met Victor Bloodmoon. Welcome to POW new guy.

Victor picks up Shane Hunter and goes to toss him over the top rope but Black shoves Victor over and tosses Shane out himself.

Eliminated by Black: Shane Hunter @ 5:47

Victor shoves Black who just looks up to the air and laughs. Victor shoves him again. Black just turns around with his back to Victor. Victor looks confused but while he isn't paying attention Shadow blindsides the other big man just staggering him. The rest of competitors all back off as Victor and Shadow stare at each other. Eddie meanwhile crawls back to his feet and runs at Victor. Victor sidesteps him and he runs right into Shadow. Shadow and Victor are now on both sides of Eddie. Eddie realizes his mistake and goes to run but Shadow grabs his throat and lifts him into the air. He walks to the ropes and chokeslams Eddie right out of the ring. Eddie hits the floor with a huge thud that echos in the arena. The crowd lets out a huge "OOOOOOH" as Shadow turns back to Victor with a grin. Victor looks even angrier now missing two eliminations.

Pilgrim: Eddie B. is gonna be feeling that one for a week. The newcomer Shadow just tossed him over the ropes like a child with that vicious chokeslam.
Almanti: I'm feeling that on Alex.....
Pilgrim: Tony did you hear the whole arena gasp in pain, we all felt that one.

Victor and Shadow begin exchanging rights and lefts. In the background Chris Knight went after Fire. Showtime is sitting back while his partner holds her own against. Fire grabs Chris Knight and throws him into the turnbuckle. She jumps after him and begins punching him in the head. Then in one fluid motion she jumps and locks her legs around his head and hurricanrana's Knight across the ring. Victor and Shadow now have each other by the throat trying to chokeslam the other. Black is still sitting in the corner opposite of Showtime. Fire runs over to Chris Knight and whips him to the ropes. She goes for a cross body but he ducks under her to get a big boot from Black. Black backs up and tells Fire to toss him out. She looks confused. Showtime notices whats going on and shows concern.

Almanti: Black just told Fire to toss Knight out?
Pilgrim: Yeah when did he become nice?
Almanti: Well it is ladies first?

Fire picks up Chris the whole time keeping her eyes on Black who just has a grin from ear to ear. Fire tosses Knight over the ropes but he tries to pull himself back in. Fire delivers a stiff kick to Knight knocking him to the floor.

Eliminated by Fire: Chris Knight @ 9:56

Black grins and goes to grab Fire. Showtime sprints across the ring to save his partner. Fire tries to fight free but Black is stronger. Showtime flies over and starts laying into Black with all kinds of strikes. Shadow meanwhile gets Victor's hand off of his throat and kicks Victor in the ribs. He then throws Victor into the turnbuckle shoulder first and he hits the steel ring post. Victor recoils back holding his shoulder. Shadow grabs Victor by the neck and tosses him over the top rope. Victor tries to grabs the ropes by due to the shoulder pain he can't and he hits the floor.

Eliminated by Shadow: Victor Bloodmoon @ 11:21

Almanti: Victor and Shadow were the two biggest men in this ring, but Shadow just showed his was bigger.
Pilgrim: No doubt. Shadow made a name for himself immediately with that toss.

Showtime and Fire are fighting back Black when Shadow goes and grabs Fire's hair. Showtime and Black continue exchanging punches. Shadow laughs as he twists Fire to face him. Showtime shoves Black off and goes for a Season Ender hitting Shadow right in the jaw. Shadow releases Fire. Showtime winds up again and hits another Season Ender still Shadow doesn't go down. Fire crawls behind Shadow's legs as Showtime goes for one more Season Ender. He connects for the third time and with Fire behind his legs Shadow goes falling over the top rope. The crowd pops for the teamwork of Showtime and Fire and the elimination of the monster of a man.

Eliminated by Showtime: Shadow @ 13:35

Showtime falls to his knees. Fire goes to check on him. Black notices the two ignoring him.

Pilgrim: Mr. Showtime had a brutal match against Jay T. Nitro in UWC. It seems his energy is drained after having to hit three Season Enders on Shadow to send him over the ropes.

Black goes and kicks Fire to the mat. Showtime springs back up. Black tosses Fire down he picks up Showtime and hits the Blood Boiling Buster. Fire gets up and rushes at Black to help Showtime. Black just laughs, again he grabs her by the hair. Fire turns and tries to slap Black but he just uses his freehand to block her attempt. He hoists her over his shoulder and walks toward the ropes laughing. Showtime turns and tries to make it to his feet in time, but Black dumps her over the ropes. Showtime gets up and glares at Black. Black turns to see Showtime staring at him.

Eliminated by Black: Fire @ 15:47

Almanti: Black just showed her why women can't hang with the big boys.
Pilgrim: Fire held her own this entire match. She eliminated a couple people too.

Showtime and Black stare at each other and start to circle each other. Showtime runs at Black, Black runs back at Showtime. Showtime goes for a high dropkick, Black goes for a low one at the same time. The two go around the other. Both spring back to their feet. Showtime goes for the Season Ender but Black ducks under it and he locks his arms around the waist of Showtime. He turns and German Suplexes him over the top rope. Showtime catches the ropes and holds on. Black starts to celebrate. Showtime is dangling but the refs say he didn't touch. Showtime skins the cat and reenters the ring. Black still celebrating turns around and gets a bewildered look on his face seeing Showtime standing in front of him. Black shakes off his amazement as the crowd pops seeing Showtime still in it.

Huff: There is only 2 minutes left to this match!
Almanti: Last time Black went to a draw. Will it happen again?
Pilgrim: Showtime might be able to win. He seems to have Black's number.
Almanti: Don't count Black out. Look how dominant he has been tonight and also at First Rights.

Black runs at Showtime. Showtime kicks him in the gut. He grabs him and goes for a suplex. Showtime hits it. Black bounces off the mat. Showtime picks him up and tosses him into the corner. Showtime follows but Black tries to backdrop him over. Showtime does a handstand on the turnbuckle, again Black thinks he eliminated Showtime. Black steps away from the corner but Showtime comes back down and locks his legs around Black's head. He flips himself off the ropes and hits a hurricanrana. Black staggers back to his feet. Showtime goes to throw Black out but Black grabs the ropes and holds on tight.

Huff: Thirty seconds left!!!
Pilgrim: Showtime is trying his damndest to throw Black over but he is fighting! WE MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER DRAW!

Black is still holding on. Showtime is trying all his might to throw Black over. Black uses an elbow right to the face of Showtime. The crowd starts the countdown from 10. Showtime lets go. Black elbows him in the face and legs go of the ropes. 8. Black grabs Showtime and tosses him over the ropes. 6. Showtime holds on again. He is dangling trying to pull himself back in. 4. Showtime slingshots onto the apron. 2. Black hits a vicious spinning wheel kick sending Showtime flying. Showtime hits the ground as the bell rings. The refs talk amongst themselves.

Black looks furious thinking he went to another draw. Showtime sits up on the ground holding his head. Both men are staring at the refs as they talk. Tanner Dutton finishes talking and runs over to Richard Huff, he whispers their decision in Huff's ear. Huff nods and grabs his microphone.

Huff: Ladies and gentlemen, the referees have decide that the result of this match is.......BLACK WINNING WITH 1 SECOND LEFT!

Eliminated by Black: Mr. Showtime @ 19:59
Winner: Black

The crowd boos as Black celebrates. Showtime hits the ground. But gets up and walks to the back as Black celebrates.

Pilgrim: Unlike First Rights, Black got the lone win tonight. With one second to spare Mr. Showtime was eliminated.
Almanti: Black showed he learned from last time.
Pilgrim: I don't think this will be the last time these two meet.
Almanti: One thing is for damn sure...Black will be facing someone next week with the TV Title on the line!

[Tito Capaci]

The scene opens up backstage at All In with The Four Horsemen: XE all
standing around, congratulating Shane for all his hard work and victory.
Lance Erickson tries to pull out a cooler from his locker that looks a
bit too big to fit. After a few moments, he gets the hulking item out
and slams it down on a bench.

Big Ci: Whatcha got there Lance?

Lance Erickson: Well, look at Shane here, he needs to CELEBRATE!

Lance pops open the lid and the cooler is shown full of ice and frothy
cold ones. Lance pulls one out, pops the top, and right before he can
take a sip...

Dave Hunter: Uh...Lance?

Lance Erickson: Yeah? (notices the looks from everybody)...What?

Dave Hunter: You can't go out to the ring after you've been drinking...

Lance looks down at his beer and frowns.

Lance Erickson: Oh...

Shane Hunter: Hey! Not to worry guys! I brought something that we CAN
drink!

Shane produces a couple of powerades from the same locker Lance grabbed
his cooler from. He passes them around, and the Four Horsemen open them
up and clash them together in a toast. Big Ci and Lance Erickson have
solemn looks on their faces. Noticing, the Hunter Brothers look
inquisitively.

Dave Hunter: Yo, what's up with you two?

Big Ci: We've got some very important matches tonight, Lance and I.

Lance Erickson: Bingo.

Big Ci: I've got to show Nick Pickles who he's dealing with, and then
Lance has got the biggest strain. He's got the chance to be the first
one of us to hold the gold.

Lance Erickson: My opponent's no slouch either. Ci, we've got to do
something...

Big Ci: We've got to go All In.

Lance Erickson: Or go home.

Dave Hunter: (Looks back and forth between the two men) You guys know
what? Who the hell would I be if I didn't have faith in you two? I
joined up because we four have the most talent out of anybody in POW. Show
those bastards who they're dealing with and make everybody else in POW
fear you two.

Shane Hunter: After we're done whipping ass here tonight, we need to go
party to celebrate our new champion, I can't be the only one with
accomplishments.

Lance gets a manly look in his eye while Big Ci gets an evil grin on
his face. The four men clash their drinks together one more time, spewing
gatorade all over the place.

All 4: HORSEMEN!

[Tito Capaci]

The vicinity goes dark as Rob Dougan's "Clubbed To Death" slowly begins. About twenty-or-so seconds into the instrumental melody, Jason Dread finally emerges onto the scene drapped in a black with gold trim boxing-like robe. Gold and silver strobe lights begin circling about, and Dread slowly begins sauntering down the entry way.

Pilgrim: And there is Jason Dread. A former UWC competitor with a heck of a resume.

Almanti: He's just damn good.

Approaching the ring, Jason leaps up onto the apron and then enters the ring. He then paces around a bit while gently slapping himself and pumping himself up for his upcoming encounter. Now, Dread strips himself of his robe that covered most of his body -- including his face -- and throws it outside the ring. His music now dies down, and he is ready for action.

Pilgrim: It's time for one of the fan favorites!

The lights begin to alternate between dark blue and crimson red as "His World" begins to fill the arena...

"C'mon light the fuse,
Now he's rocking and he's ready to go,
Cuz now the countdown has started and he's ready to blow,
He's got the dope sounds pumping on the stereo,
He acts fast, putting on a show,

C'mon now get yourself together there's no time to rest,
And if you put the time in, he'll put ya to the test,
He's like a running man, in his world, war is less,
And if you wanna test him, best bring your best,
Don't make me spell it out, bring your best."

Over the music the sound of a flute can be heard... it's a familiar tune: The tune of the Green Power Ranger!

The chorus of the song begins to play...

"In this world (his world!)
Where life is strong,
In this world (his world!)
Life's an open book,
In this world (his world!)
Where compromise does not exist,
In his world, this world's every step, meets the rest.

In this world (his world!)
Where one is all,
In this world (his world!)
Never fear the fall,
In this world (his world!)
Where compromise does not exist,
In his world, this world's every step, meets the rest."

Suddenly a puff of smoke explodes in front of the curtain and Reck Maverick appears out of thin air. He stands in a cool ninja pose for a second, his eyes darting back and forth and his Dragon Armour glimmering in the light then he breaks into a traditional ninja run as he quickly dashes to the ring and dives between the first and second ropes.

Almanti: This guy is weird.

Pilgrim: But nobody can doubt his wrestling ability, Tony.

Almanti: I doubt his IQ.

"Running him back again, well what'd ya' expect,
Coming on and reach it out of ten, got a real rough track,
Flying out of her memory, he slaps on his shoes,
He's the best there ever was, haven't you heard the news

Intergalactic continental champ, running feets,
Hyperactive instrumental with, pulling strings,
He's the one who understands, when the tides will swing,
So he's breaking down doors, never following,

Come on and suck yourself up, cause it's time to play,
Bouncing with beats and the vibes, cause they're here to stay,
Come on and with the only member gone, now ripping the day,
Blowing up, coming back, it'll blow you away,
Because the pressures of this world, they can take their toll,
And now it's time to get away when they take their hold,

And the only way to break free is to break the mold,
You can't stop now,
Lock and load,
Don't you stop now,
Come on and rock and roll"

He kips up and draws his Blade of Legend. He begins to go into a Kata, swinging the blade and throwing kicks, Finally he drops to one knee and goes to drive the blade in the mat, but he stops short to avoid tearing the canvas - as he is doing the Kata the lights slowly cut of except a single spotlight shining on Maverick. He places the sword back into it's sheath and hands it to a ringside attendant then slowly stands up and removes his Armour as the lights come back up. With the Armour removed he salutes his fans with a now trademark thumbs up as the music dies. He walks to his corner and sits upon the top turnbuckle as he waits for the contest to begin.

Pilgrim: Here we go! This match all came about because Jason Dread couldn't hit his intended target last week.

Almanti: That's right. Last week, of course, Dread decided to get the better of Dave Hunter last week and tried to whack him with a chair. Hunter's reflexes were pretty quick. He ducked. Reck wasn't as fortunate. Reck was none too pleased with the interference as well.

Pilgrim: As he shouldn't have been. I will tell you this, Reck Maverick was almost foaming at the mouth for this match all week!

Manny Salazar walks to the center of the ring and calls for the bell!

ding-ding

Jason Dread vs. Reck Maverick

Jason Dread and Reck Maverick start to exchange words as they walk towards each other in the ring. In mid-sentence, Reck throws a quick slapping backhand that takes Dread off guard and spins him around. Reck quickly slaps on a standing crossface chickenwing and really wrenches it in which makes Dread wince in pain.

Pilgrim: Wow! Reck is really sharp tonight. He came in with a gameplan!

Almanti: Hit first. Hit last. Hit hard. Hit fast. Works for me!

Dread is able to pull Reck over to the ropes where he grabs on with his free hand and Salazar forces Reck to break the hold. Reck does, but doesn't get a clean break. He does a double-ear slap which rings Dread's bell pretty good and throws him into the corner. Reck gives a nice knee lift into Dread's gut, really putting Dread in deep in the corner. Reck jumps back a few steps and with a running start, hits a hard splash in the corner. Dread bounces out of the corner a few steps which Reck capitalizes on by coming from behind and landing a hard bulldog.

Pilgrim: Reck is on FIRE!

Almanti: Dread just didn't come prepared. Reck just wants this one more.

Reck does a kip-up to the delight of the fans and gives a huge double "thumbs up" to the fans. He walks over to Dread who is laying on the ground slaps on his signature figure four!

Pilgrim: And there it is! According to Reck Maverick, that is the BEST DAMN FIGURE FOUR IN NORTH AMERICA!!

Almanti: Huh? Is his name Reck or Ric?

Dread is seething in pain and is pounding the floor with his fist. Salazar perceives correctly that this is not a tap-out and that Dread is going to try to win break the hold. Salazar closes in and gets just inches from Dread to see if he can get an answer. Dread takes Salazar by the back of the head and gives the referee a monster headbutt! Salazar is out cold! Reck notices what is going on and breaks the figure four hold. Dread rolls out of the ring, limping heavily from the figure four. Maverick checks on Salazar who is still unconscious.

Pilgrim: Damn it! Every week Jason Dread does something that is blatantly illegal! Someone needs to take a stand!

Almanti: Shut your pie-hole, Alex. The man is a winner!

The fans cheer as Benny Lawson comes sprinting out from backstage. He gets in Jason Dread's face, first giving him a lecture and giving the what-for for headbutting his good friend, Manny Salazar. He then initiates the 10-count on Dread.


1.........


2.........

But Dread grabs Lawson and punches him square in the face and now Lawson goes down!

Pilgrim: Jason Dread is OUT OF CONTROL!

Almanti: Ok, I'm starting to agree with you now.

Suddenly the bell rings and Reck Maverick stands upright in the ring. Jason Dread climbs up on the ring apron, wondering what is going on as well. Richard Huff climbs into the ring and takes the microphone.

Huff: Ladies and gentlemen. By orders from the front office, due to the assault of POW officials during a sanctioned match, Jason Dread has been disqualified. Therefore, Ladies and gentlement, the winner of the match....The Hero of the Story, the Star of the Show.....REEEEEEEEEEECK MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVERICK!!!!!!

Dread is extremely pissed and charges in to take out Huff, but Reck sees it and saves Huff by jumping in front and landing a huge Maverick Cutter which delights the crowd.

Pilgrim: Thank you POW top brass! Something had to be done about Jason Dread.

Almanti: I like a man who will do almost anything to win, but at some point, you just have to be a damn man and get in the ring and fight.

Pilgrim: Wait a minute...I'm getting word that Jason Dread has been suspended indefinitely for his abuse of non-fighting POW employees! This is a huge development!

Almanti: You have to abide by some of the rules at least some of the time. I bet Capaci keeps him around just in case he needs a hitman.

Pilgrim: That sound about right. Tonight, we still have the Valor Championship to be decided. George Duke defends his Valor Title against Macros. We send it back for more on the Roman Centurion!

[Tito Capaci]

The camera cuts backstage to Macros's locker room. Riley paces around the locker room waiting for his man to get ready. Macros can grab the gold tonight, it would take a freak accident to stop him. Macros sits in a chair, preparing for his match.

Riley: Alright, finish getting ready. I'll meet you out in the hall.

Riley exits the room and closes the door behind him. Macros finishes taping up his feet and stands up. Before he is even fully erect, the air conditioner from the wall behind him comes falls from it's nook in the wall and crashes down on the chair, completely destroying it. Macros looks at the damage, knowing he's just narrowly avoided injury or even death. Riley rushes in, hearing the noise.

Riley: Holy crap! Are you okay?! I'll be right back.

Riley rushes back out the door and down the hall. Macros takes a last look at the scene before leaving the room.

Pilgrim: My god! He could have been killed! That air conditioner must weigh a ton.

Almanti: No way, Pilgrim. I'd say 500 pounds, tops.

Pilgrim: Either way, I think we know who is responsible for this.

Almanti: Wait a minute, now - you can't prove anything. You know how shoddy these dives are. Things fall out of the walls all of the time! Even if someone did push it out of place, you can't just jump up and say it was our great Valor Champion, George Duke! It could have been Reck Maverick.

Pilgrim: Why would he do that? They're friends.

Almanti: Maybe he was jealous because Macros got the title shot.

Pilgrim: Don't be ridiculous! Either way, if that thing had hit him - it would have crushed him just like that chair. I doubt Duke would've minded that.

Almanti: No, no - you heard him. Something like that would take the sport out of it.

Pilgrim: Whatever. I guess we'll settle that mess soon. Right now, it's time for our next match.

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: Here we go, folks! The first of the POW belts to be on the line is the Television Title and David DeAngelo and Lance Erikson have something besides the prestige of being the first TV Champ on the line.

Almanti: Absolutely. These two guys don't like each other very much. In fact, I would say there is a touch of disdain for each other. That makes this is a great match and a possible classic. This little feud has had everything. Cake in the face, high heels getting a man in trouble...the works.

Pilgrim: But it's all about to be settled right here. And here comes Lance Erikson.

The lights dim to less than 30% and two spotlights circle the arena. "Now You're a Man" kicks up over the sounds system and 11 seconds in when the vocals start up Lance Erickson walks out onto the entry way with his right fist raised. After a few seconds, he runs down to the ring, slides in and hops onto the far bottom rope, pointing to the crowd which pops huge. He drops down and walks to the middle of the ring in preparation for his opponent.

Pilgrim: Lance has really stepped up his game in POW. He's had the hot hand as of late and he can make a huge statement for the 4 Horsemen: XE with a big win tonight!

The ring lights go bright pink and the arena lights turn down as the Ding Dong Song plays over the speakers, the crowd begins to boo and hiss vehemently as David DeAngelo strolls through the curtain, some of the women swoon but for the most part the crowd completely against him.

Almanti: Does this guy have style or what?

Pilgrim: Are you kidding me?

David saunters down the aisleway looking at the crowd and giving them sexy eyes, he makes it to the ringside area and the lights come back up as he climbs the stairs, he walks across the apron and wipes his feet off on the apron and then steps between the ropes, as he gets through he peels off his silk button down and then unties his ascot before tossing it into the crowd, he walks to the other side of the ring feeling his own toned abs and then he rips off his tear away slacks and tosses them to the ringside attendant, he then stands there in his trunks basking in the crowds hate for him as he awaits his opponent

Pilgrim: And we are about to get underway! Buckle your seat belts!

Almanti: That little cliche is a little overdone.

The head official, Benny Lawson has been assigned this match and he calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

David DeAngelo vs. Lance Erikson *TV TITLE MATCH*

David and Lance stand eye to eye as David says something smart. Lance chuckles along before leveling David with a right hand. Dave gets right back up and Lance corners him in the corner and begins blasting him with lefts and rights. Lance then sends David across to the opposite corner. Dave comes bouncing out of the corner and Lance charges for a clothesline, but Dave leapfrogs him and when Lance turns, Dave drops him with a round house kick!

Tony: Man what a move
Alex: DeAngelo is the man, you just dont realize it.

Dave arrogantly shows off to the crowd as he picks Lance up. Dave then chops Lance a couple times as the crowd WOOOO's along. Lance though reverse it and begins nailing Dave hard with chops, making Dave fly up aganist the ropes. Lance then takes him by the head and bulldogs him to the mat. Lance makes a cover........1..........2..but he kicksout.

Alex: Gonna need more then that to put him away
Tony: Im sure Lance knows that

Lance picks Dave up, but Dave drives elbows to the midsection. Dave then lifts Lance up quickly and gives him a devastating backbreaker. Dave then takes a breather before getting up. He purches himself on the second turnbuckle and goes off for a knee to the head, but Lance moves out of the way.

Tony: Went for it and missed
Alex: Come on DeAngelo, focus...this is for the TV title.

Dave gets up and Lance comes flying at him and hits a spinning heel kick. Lance makes the cover..........1.......2........but Dave kicks out. Lance picks Dave up, but Dave slaps his hands away and goes for a punch, but Lance ducks it and gets him in a "Bridge of Lance"..........1..........2......but Dave kicks out again.

Tony: Lance must be thinking, what can i do to put this guy away.
Alex: He just cant do it

Lance asks the ref if he's sure it wasnt three. Dave uses the ropes to get himself up. Dave then from behind gets Lance in a "Cincinnati Bow Tie"! Lance tries to fight it, but Dave has it locked in. The ref checks to see if Lance has faded, but he isnt just yet. Dave tells him to just go to sleep, but Lance begins firing elbows left and right into Dave's ribs. Lance then lunges forward to the ropes and drops down, choking Dave on the top on.

Tony: What a way to get out of that move.
Alex: He coulda decapitated him!

Dave holds his throat, coughing as he turns around and him a belly to belly suplex. The crowd is cheering as Lance gets to his feet and goes off the ropes for a legdrop, but Dave gets up before Lance reaches him and Dave gets him with a classic scoop slam.

Alex: Theres the clever Dave i know
Tony: Very nice indeed

Dave laughs as he picks Lance up and tells the crowd he is ready to execute the "Macho Gezpacho". So Dave mockingly blows a kiss in Lance's face, but Lance grabs him by the head and drops down, giving him a jawbreaker! Dave is hurt as Lance pops back up gets Dave hooked in and plants him with a "Shattered Lance"!

Tony: He landed it!
Alex: Oh no...DeAngelo better kick out!

Lance covers him..........1............2...........3.

WINNER and NEW POW TELEVISION CHAMPION: Lance Erikson

Pilgrim: And the first ever POW TV Champ is Lance Erikson! The Horsemen have to be thrilled!

Almanti: Dave fought hard, but Lance was on fire tonight.

Pilgrim: Lance Erikson gets the opportunity to represent POW has its TV Champ. Well, Shawn Stevens represents POW as the Heavyweight Champ. He goes up against Danny Danielson in the main event tonight for the POW Heavyweight Championship. Here's a quick preview for that most important match.

[Tito Capaci]

The lights in the arena dim down low as the screen shows the video promo for the biggest match of All In, the POW Heavyweight Title match pairing Shawn Stevens against Danny Danielson.

The video starts with UWL highlights with both Danny and Shawn Stevens in backstage areas getting along.

Narrator: Less than a year ago, two professional wrestling warriors were on the same page. They felt a bond. They believed in one another and were prepared to help one another if the need arrived. But as time would have it.....things change.

The video switches to a slow-motion shot of Danny Danielson wrapping a chair around Stevens on two different occasions since Danny Danielson has joined the UWL.

Today, the warriors are bitter and sworn enemies. With a title, but above all else, pride on the line, both men will be battling with every bit of strength. They will leave it "All In" in the ring. On March 22, 2007, Danny Danielson -flashes footage of Danny Danielson staring into the camera after taking off his aviator glasses-[/i] and Shawn Stevens -the promo flashes footage of Stevens striking his classic pose- will be.....

ALL IN![/size]

Alex Pilgrim: Well! Things are really heating up here at POW!

Tony Almanti: Absolutely, we have our first Television Champion, Alex. I can't wait to see what Lance and Black can conjure up next week. They must have something big in store for us next week!

Pilgrim: But the greatness doesn't stop just yet. We have another grudge match about to get kicked off right here, tonight. Big Ci and Nick Pickles have been going round and round and last week Bubba helped out Nick Pickles to a victory. The top brass at POW said, nu-uh this week! Bubba banned from ringside!

Almanti: Which I think is a little harsh. The contact from Bubba what completely unintentional last week. It's all a big misunderstanding.

Pilgrim: You don't really believe that!

Almanti: No, but I think having Bubba at ringside brings an unknown element that I absolutely love!

Alex Pilgrim: Anyway, on to the next match!

"Money" by Pink Floyd blasts out over the PA, once the second chorus of the song hits, Nick Pickles shows up on the stage, but Bubba is absent. Nick Pickles swaggers down to the ring in his tights, letting the boos proudly wash over him. Nick Pickles hops up onto the ring apron, and stares into the crowd with fierce eyes. Nick Pickles climbs into the ring and jumps around, getting ready for his opponent.

Richard Huff: Our first competitor, weighing in at 250 lbs...Nick
PICKLES!!!!

Before Nick Pickles has a chance to do anything, "Out ta Get Me" by Guns'n'Roses blasts throughout the arena. The crowd goes wild as Big Ci runs out onto the entrance ramp with his arms raised above his head. The audience goes nuts as Ci runs down the ramp, slapping hands with all the people in the crowd on his way down to the ring. Big Ci does a round around the ring, blessing all the fans in the front with high-fives. Big Ci slides his big body into the ring and glares at Nick Pickles while he gets to his feet.

Richard Huff: And our other man, weighing in at a massive, 350 lbs!!! BIG CI!!!!!

Tony Almanti: He sure is big, that's for damn sure!

Alex Pilgrim: Absolutely. He's one of the largest guys in POW right?

Manny Salazar calls for the bell to start the match.

Big Ci vs. Nick Pickles
Bubba banned from ringside

Big ci and Nick Pickles lock fists to start the match out in a test of
strength. Big Ci easily pushes Nick Pickles onto his back. Nick Pickles
gets back up and goes for the test of strength once again. Big Ci
raises his arms once more with a smile, but Nick Pickles drops down and pulls Ci's leg out from under him. Big Ci falls to the mat with a loud thud and Nick Pickles quickly drops a couple of fast elbows on the big man. Ci rolls away from Pickles and gets back to his feet while Pickles points and laughs while tapping his temple.

Tony Almanti: Nick Pickles trying to get under the skin of Big Ci by
showing him that he's not all about muscle, he's about the brain.

Big Ci smiles at Pickles while he slowly advances on him. Big Ci locks
Pickles up in a test of strength once more, but releases one of his
hands and clubs Pickles on the back of the head. Not letting go of the other hand, Ci pulls Pickles back up and clubs him once more. The audience goes wild as Big Ci pulls Pickles back to his feet and whips him into the opposite ropes. Nick Pickles rebounds off the ropes, ducks a clothesline and dives out of the ring to get away from the large man. Nick Pickles makes Manny salazar keep Big Ci away as he climbs back in. Big Ci pushes Manny Salazar out of the way as he charges his opponent. Nick Pickles dives back out of the ring while Ci yells out "COWARD" to the crowd. The crowd replies "WHAT?" and Ci responds once more. Infuriated, Nick Pickles leaps up and guillotines Big Ci onto the top rope. Big Ci staggers back and into Manny Salazar who gets pushed back by the big man.
Pickles takes advantage of the situation and leaps into the ring,
delivering a massive kick to the lower regions of Big Ci.

Alex Pilgrim: What a despicable tactic by Pickles! I can't believe the
ref didn't see that! He was standing right there!

Nick Pickles dives over Big Ci and pulls him down to the mat for the
pin. While Manny Salazar goes for the count, Nick Pickles gets his feet on the ropes.

ILLEGAL PIN!

Manny Salazar looks up and sees Nick Pickles with his feet on the
ropes, gaining illegal leverage. Big Ci pushes Pickles off of him with
authority and Manny Salazar starts reprimanding Nick. Big Ci staggers to his feet and Nick Pickles sidles around the ref, continuing his physical assault on Big Ci. Ci covers up as Nick Pickles pushes him into the corner with his neverending flurry of punches and kicks. Big Ci falls back into the corner and Nick Pickles hops onto the second rope to continue raining down blows from on high. Ci reaches through Pickles' legs and hops the man up onto his shoulders. Big Ci Walks out of the corner with Pickles still on his shoulders, punching, and powerbombs Pickles into the mat as hard as he can. Big Ci covers Nick Pickles while Manny Salazar goes to count.

THR...KICKOUT!!

Alex Pilgrim: Wow, a powerbomb like that and he still kicked out!

Tony Almanti: The mat's padded! I know it is!

Big Ci calmly gets to his feet and moves over to the corner, crouches down and waits for Nick Pickles. Nick Pickles slowly starts to move and rolls over onto his stomach. Using the ropes, Big Ci crouches even lower with a hungry look in his eyes. Nick Pickles finally gets to his feet and puts his head into the corner turnbuckle, regaining his breath. He staggers over to the middle of the ring and turns around just as Big Ci charges him. Big Ci throws a huge lariat, but Pickles ducks it. Big Ci rebounds off the ropes and throws the huge clothesline once more, connecting with Pickles' neck and face, driving him into the mat with a resounding crash. Big Ci covers Pickles once more.

Alex Pilgrim: IT'S OVER! BIG CI CONNECTS WITH THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL THE SECOND TIME AROUND!!!

Tony Almanti: Now we know what would've happened during their last match if Bubba hadn't been at ringside!

Pilgrim: The blood-feuds aren't over yet. Rob Matthews and Rich Morrison are mere moments away from climbing a 15 ladder to a small space above the ring. Someone will get thrown off the scaffold. And to add insult to injury....they'll lose the match in the process. Let's get a sneak peak and see how this match came to be.

[Tito Capaci]

The lights dim down and the screen flickers a few times and starts running a preview for the Rich Morrison vs. Rob Matthews feud match at All In. It just shows pictures.

First, it shows Rich Morrison and Rob Matthews in MPW raising hell together with several pictures.

Next, it moves to the LWE where several more photos of Matthews and Morrison are shown together in harmony.

It then moves to the UWL where there is large slide show of even more pictures of Rob Matthews and Rich Morrison working together as a team, unified.

Finally, it shows a picture of Rich Morrison handing the title in respect to Shawn Stevens after losing the Heavyweight Championship Match at First Rights. Then it shows Rob Matthews holding his contract in front of the audience just last week announcing his intentions for his one match in POW.

It closes with it's only video footage.....it just last week with Rob Matthews powerbombing Morrison off the ramp. The screen fades to black.

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: And folks, it is now time for one of the most highly anticipated matches of the night. We have a scaffold match against two guys who were the best of friends, but have a score to settle!

Almanti: No joke. Rob Matthews has decided he doesn't like Morrison's new-found nice-guy attitude. I tend to agree, but tonight, someone's ass is getting tossed off a scaffold!

"Here comes the money" by Naughty by Nature begins to play over the speakers in the POW arena. The building goes dark and a single light is shown at the entryway. Out of the curtain, "New Money" Rich Morrison appears. The crowd is cheering loudly as Rich arrogantly walks to the ring. Every footstep corresponds to a beat in his theme song. Rich climbs up the ladder and stands on the scaffold overlooking the arena from 15 feet higher than the ring floor.

Pilgrim: And Rich Morrison and his new attitude has really resonated with the POW fans. They love him now. Listen to those cheers!

Almanti: I'm going to be honest with you, I'm with Matthews. This new Morrison just lacks.....balls?

Pilgrim: Shut up, Tony.

"Somebody" by Blue October plays as Matthews comes out. He stands at the ramp as light flashes and he waves to the crowd with a grin so evil on his face. He slowly walks down the ramp and climbs up the ladder into the ring. He goes near the center of one of the scaffold and points to himself, screaming, ”there is no better than me”. He finally calms eyes down Morrison.

Pilgrim: Both combatants stand ready on the scaffold as we await the bell. Tanner Dutton stands below the scaffold and points at the bell-man!

ding-ding

Rich Morrison vs. Rob Matthews (Scaffold Match)

Almanti: I hope somebody breaks something. I want to see the bone!

Pilgrim: Well, unfortunately, you might get your wish tonight. Both men are fighting on a scaffold hung 15 feet above the ring. The object of the match is to throw your opponent off the scaffold and into oblivion.

Almanti: No nets, no pads? Someone could get hurt!

Pilgrim: Yes, there is a good possibility of that.

Almanti: Even Rich Morrison?

Pilgrim: I... suppose so.

Almanti: YES!

The bell sounds and both men stare at each other from opposite sides of the scaffold. After a few deep breaths, both wrestlers slowly approach one another. They meet in the center and the crowd explodes as they begin exchanging blows. Matthews begins to teeter, but regains his balance. He lands a wild haymaker to the side of Morrison's head. Morrison drops to the scaffold. Matthews delivers a few kicks to the ribs before starting to push Morrison to the edge. Morrison breaks free with an elbow to the jaw and gets to his feet. He throws another punch at Matthews, who sidesteps and kicks Morrison in the gut. He sets him up for the Jack-knife!

Pilgrim: Oh no! We might see a repeat of last week, but 10 times worse!

Almanti: Actually, it would only be 3 times worse. Do the math, Pilgrim. It will, however, be 10 times better!

Morrison breaks free and slides down behind Matthews. He pushes him hard. Matthews goes over the edge! But he grabs hold of one of the support wires to avoid falling. He turns fast, in time to catch a stiff running clothesline from Morrison. He falls hard on his back. Morrison does not let up - locking on an armbar. After a few moments, Morrison releases his hold. He waits for Matthews to get to his feet before rushing forward with a running headbutt to the chest! Matthews clutches his chest and bends over, using his free hand to keep him on his feet. Morrison takes advantage with a DDT! The crowd goes insane! Morrison follows up with a few stomps to the back, but Matthews soon sweeps out Morrison's legs. Morrison falls and rolls off the scaffold! But he manages to hang on to the edge.

Pilgrim: A close call for Rich Morrison! He managed to hang on, but now he's dangling 15 feet in the air! He has no footing, how is he going to get back up?!

Almanti: He's not, Pilgrim. He's going to die. This is great!

Matthews gets up fast, thinking he has won. He starts to celebrate, but soon notices his opponent hanging on. He walks over calmly and spits at Morrison, before stomping on his hand. Morrison howls in pain, but still hangs on. He stops again. Then again. And again. The crowd boos louder with each display of poor sportsmanship. Morrison's hands are turning red, and he can barely hold on any longer. Matthews stomps one more time, but Morrison lets go with one hand and reaches up to pull his opponent's leg. Matthews falls forward and Morrison quickly grabs hold of the scaffold again. Matthews has also gotten lucky enough to grab hold of the scaffold. He holds on for dear life just a few inches away from Morrison.

Pilgrim: My God! Both men are hanging off the scaffold! There is no turning back now! This one is almost over!

Almanti: I can't wait to see the look on Morrison's face when he dies!

Both men begin kicking at each other. A flurry of feet bombard both competitors. Morrison manages to reach over with one hand and slam his fist down on Matthews hand. Matthews involuntarily lets go and falls! He crumples into a ball upon impact with the mat.

Pilrgrimi: And that's going to do it! Rich Morrison has done it! What a match by Rich Morrison to pull out a victory when it seemed damn certain he was going to lose!

Almanti: I'm shocked. I can't believe Morrison lucked out of this win. Matthews had a win staring him in the face and let it go!

Pilgrim: You can argue with results and Rich Morrison has been winning a lot lately. I can't imagine to see what is in store for a legitimate global superstar like Morrison if he continues his winning ways.

Almanti: Duh, a winning record!

Morrison, all but forgotten, hanging from the scaffold manages to hang on long enough for officials to rush over with the ladder. He climbs down slowly as EMT's tend to an unconscious Matthews. Morrison breathes a sigh of relief when his feet touch the floor. He looks over at his fallen foe and heads up the ramp. At the top his raises his hands in victory as EMT's have Matthews on the stretcher and start to move him out of the ring. Morrison starts to walk backwards into the backstage area, waving to the fans one last bit. But before he can get behind the curtain, a familiar face pops out from behind the curtain and nails a huge diamond cutter on the top of the ramp!

Pilgrim: What? What the hell? IT'S FLYING DIAMOND CUTTER MAN!

Almanti: Holy crap! The reigning Universal Wrestling League World Heavyweight Champion is right here in POW! The rumors are true!

The crowd erupts into boos as FDCM throws up the Diamond Cutter sign and quickly turns it into two middle finger salutes to the crowd. FDCM hocks up some spit and drops it on Morrison's body as he walks backstage.

Pilgrim: And you just knew that if and when FDCM was going to sign with POW, he would make a huge entrance, and that's exactly what he did. But I imagine that Rich Morrison will have to something to say about this next week!

Almanti: Hopefully, this will bring back the old Rich Morrison!

Pilgrim: This was a great match, but I have a feeling that Shawn Stevens and Danny Danielson don't want to be outdone.

[Tito Capaci]

FDCM slips back behind the curtain as Morrison slowly starts to come to. The EMT's have taken Rob Matthews on stretcher to the loading dock of the Star Pavilion so he can be taken to the hospital via ambulance. As Morrison gets help off-stage, the tag team of Alex Pilgrim and Tony Almanti take the program back over.

Pilgrim: Folks, we are about ready for one of the most anticipated matches of the night. It's perhaps the match I was most looking for. George Duke, the POW Valor Champion is going to take on undefeated Macros with POW Valor Championship belt on the line!

Almanti: This is going to be a great fight, Alex. There are two totally different styles here. Macros is the cunning submission artist. He combines that with quick strikes so that he's great from any range. Duke? He's a brawler. He also comes from a more pure wrestling background, so the throw, the power moves, that edge goes to the champ. No doubt, these two men are very different, but both are very, very good.

Huff: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the POW Valor Championship!

"Death Rides A Horse" Ennio Morricone blares over the p.a. and the fans get back to their feet to verbally berate the Valor Champion George Duke as he steps through the curtain clad in his royal blue robe. He stands atop the stage and opens his robe to give everyone a good view of his title belt. Duke closes his robe again and begins to walk down the aisleway.

Huff: …from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at two hundred and sixty eight pounds, he is the Valor Champion! GEORGE DUUUUKE!!!

Duke climbs up the ring steps and he removes his robe, he drops it off to the ring attendant and he steps through the ropes removing his belt. Duke removes his title belt and hands it off to the referee. Duke jaws with Manny Salazar, the official for the match before jumping up on a middle turnbuckle and heckling some fans. His hecking stops however, when Macros' music hits.

Macros’ theme is playing in the arena and he and Riley are already halfway down the rampway. When Duke hears the music, his jaw drops, not ready for the suddenness of it. Macros is looking straight ahead, focused on the task ahead while Riley is jawing with some fans at ringside.

AP: An interesting matchup here Tony, old school meets new school.

TA: How can George Duke hold onto that belt against an absolute fighting machine like Macros.

AP: Experience, he’s got to use his experience.

Macros steps between the ropes and takes a long look at Duke who is finally getting down off the turnbuckle. The referee shows the belt to Macros, he then stands mid-ring and holds it up high for everyone to see. Salazar passes the belt to an official below and calls for the bell!

POW Valor Championship Match
George Duke (c) vs. Macros

The two meet mid ring and Macros puts up his hands teasing a test of strength. Duke touches his hands but then backs away, he straightens his tights up a little and steps forward again touching at Macros’ hands but not grabbing them. Duke backs away again and Macros is fuming.

AP: Duke already playing head games in there.

Duke finally clutches onto Macros’ hands and the two lock chests together trying to outmuscle the other. Macros being the younger of the two begins using his youth and superior conditioning and he begins winning the test of strength, as he begins turning Duke’s hands upward. Duke releases one hand and locks Macros into a top wrist lock, Macros attempts to fight out of it but Duke grabs a handful of hair and trips him down to the mat. Duke wrenches up on the arm he has a hold of and he grinds his knee down into Macros’ jaw. Macros uses his free arm to push Duke’s knee off of his face, and he begins to make his way back up to his feet. Duke wrenches up on his arm again and Macros stops dead in his tracks, Duke then forces him back down to the mat and reapplies his knee onto Macros’ jaw.

AP: Duke is keeping Macros grounded, and it’s probably a smart move on his part.

TA: Well yeah, you let the guy get to his feet and he’s liable to rip your throat out, he’s like a pitbull.

Duke switches position and drops down body to body to Macros so that he can’t get away, Duke applies a key lock and rolls Macros over onto his stomach. Duke lays Macros’ arm out flat and stomps down hard on his hand, Macros tries to withdraw his hand away, but Duke catches it and stretches his arm out flat again, Duke then stomps on his hand a second time grinding his boot down on Macros’ fingers. Macros cries out again and tries to get away from the veteran, but Duke lays his arm out a third time, this time dropping all of his weight down with a knee drop into Macros’ already damaged hand.

AP: I’m not envying Macros in there.

Macros cries out a third time and rolls out of the ring to the floor clutching at his hand. Riley tries to help Macros out, but he ignores him and pops some of his fingers back into place. Macros then rolls back into the ring, eyeing Duke the whole way. Duke calls for the test of strength this time and Macros takes it unthinking with his injured hand. Duke grabs it quick and applies pressure causing Macros to drop down to one knee, Macros then shoots a quick elbow into Duke’s gut and he then uses a sweeping kick to take Duke’s feet out from under him. Macros mounts Duke quickly and lands a big right hand and he recoils from the pain in his hand. Macros recovers quickly and he begins raining down multiple forearm shots into Duke’s face. Duke puts his boot into Macros’ stomach and he flips Macros off of him. Macros jumps up to his feet and Duke throws a right hand and Macros blocks it following it up with another big forearm shot. Duke staggers back against the rope, and Macros moves in and whips him off to the far side, Macros acts quickly and hits the ropes behind him shooting himself after Duke who slid under the bottom rope to the floor.

AP: Quick thinking by Duke, I’m not sure what Macros may have had in mind, but it was just curbed there.

TA: We never said Duke was stupid, I’d say avoiding any attacks from Macros would be considered a smart move.

Macros nears the opposite side and Duke reaches in and hooks Macros’ ankle tripping him down to the mat. Duke reaches under the bottom rope and grabs Macros’ arm pulling him halfway out of the ring. Duke traps Macros’ arm and begins splitting his fingers apart as far as they’ll go. Macros’ cries out and tries to squirm away but Duke holds tight and continues twisting and contorting Macros’ fingers. Duke releases Macros’ hand and drags him by the wrist over to the ring post. Duke rears back and slams Macros’ hand against the metal post, Macros attempts to roll away but Duke grabs him again and rams his hand into the post a second time. Macros rolls back to the center of the ring and Duke follows him in. Macros gets to his feet and lands a hard knee into Duke’s gut, Duke doubles over and Macros hits the ropes and comes off with a swinging neck breaker. Duke goes down, but recovers quickly and gets back to his feet. Macros meets him with a quick jawbreaker, Duke staggers around a bit and Macros moves in for the kill with a reverse DDT. Macros covers Duke.

ONE…
TWO…
KICKOUT!

Duke gets back to his feet and Macros grabs his head and turns him around attempting a standing neckbreaker, Duke throws an elbow into the back of Macros’ head and Duke reaches up and hits his own neckbreaker. Duke gets up and leans down pulling Macros back up to his feet. Macros grabs Duke and begins hitting rapid knees into Duke’s ribs. Duke loses his grip and Macros puts him in a standing Anaconda Vice.

AP: Macros showing us his submission skills.

TA: And if there’s one guy that’s got those skills, it’s the Legion Soldier.

Macros applies pressure on the hold as he backs Duke back up into the corner. Macros releases the hold and throws a wild haymaker. Duke ducks out of the way and Macros ends up in the corner. Duke throws Macros’ arm over the top rope, rears back and kicks him in the elbow with the point of his boot.

AP: Duke is not letting up on Macros’ right arm. He’s methodically breaking him down piece by piece.

Duke holds the screaming Macros in place, he rears back and kicks him hard in the elbow again. Duke then loses all sense of strategy and he moves in and begins biting at Macros’ damaged hand. Macros cries out in surprise as well as pain. And he responds quickly by throwing a few quick headbutts to stop Duke in his tracks. Duke backs up dazed and Macros grabs him and throws him back into the corner, Macros lifts him up and sits him on the top turnbuckle before he climbs up himself. Macros hooks in a suplex and tries to grab a handful of Duke’s trunks but fails because he can’t grip with his hand.

TA: Trying to suplex a man with only one hand is like trying to dance with only one leg.

Macros quits trying to use his injured hand and he quickly uses momentum to quickly hit an awkward snap superplex.

AP: HE JUST SUPERPLEXED HIM WITH ONE ARM!!!

TA: But did you see how they landed Alex, neither one of them is feeling to hot after that one.

Both men lay in a heap as the referee begins the ten count.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…

Macros begins to stir, trying to shake out some of the pain in his hand.

FOUR…

FIVE…

Duke rolls over onto his stomach and begins trying to push himself up.

SIX…

SEVEN…

Both men get to one knee.

EIGHT…

Both men get to their feet. Duke is still dazed and Macros moves in and tries to apply the Legion Crusher. But George is too heavy and too low to the grand for him to get enough momentum. Macros abandons the move and instead tries to apply the Vitruvious Claw, he applies the hold but can’t apply the necessary pressure with his hand in the state it’s in. Macros recoils away clutching at his hand and Duke spins him around and boots Macros in the gut before hooking him up and spiking him to the mat with a piledriver. Duke covers Macros and hooks the leg.

ONE…

TWO…

THRE-NO KICKOUT!!!

Pilgrim: UNBELIEVABLE!!! I thought that was it!

Almanti: Macros has the heart of a champion, that much is certain!

Duke hops up, infuriated with Salazar. Duke decides he wants to put an exclamation point on the match and heads for the turnbuckle. He goes between the ropes to get to the outside before climbing up.

Pilgrim: Wuh-oh. George Duke is not known for his high-flying expertise.

Almanti: George Duke is a BIG man. Can the ring even hold that match?

Before Duke can get set to jump, Riley smacks Duke on the foot with his cane. The shot doesn't do any real damage to Duke, but it really pisses him off. Duke starts jawing at Riley who is doing nothing but trying to buy some time for Macros. Duke says his last little bit and decides to he wants to complete his high-risk maneuver. But it's too late. Macros is already up and has met Duke in the corner. Macros gives a forearm shot to the chest and jumps up to the middle turnbuckle before giving a fist to the face of Duke. Duke fires back with a couple of punches of to the stomach of Macros. Macros almost falls back out of the corner, but keeps his balance and fires another forearm to the face of Duke. He gets Duke head in position and tries to lift Duke up for a superplex, but Duke blocks! Macros tries it again, but Duke blocks! Macros fires several hard punches to the midsection of Duke to loosen him up. WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! He goes to lift again and this time Macros gets Duke's huge frame up!

Pilgrim: SUPERPLEX!!! HE JUST NAILED A SUPERPLEX!

Almanti: HOLY CRAP! That was just awesome!

The fall obviously took almost everything out of Duke who only shows a hint of breathing. It also took something out of Macros who tries to shake out the cobwebs. It takes him several seconds to see Duke sprawled out and he lays across Duke for the pin! Salazar slides into position for the count!

2........





THR-KICKOUT!!!!!

Pilgrim: YE-NO!!!!! George Duke had something left in the tank! How?

Almanti: This has been an amazing match! All-world material!

Macros sits on his knees and takes a deep breath. He can't believe that Duke got his arm up and by the look he gives Manny Salazar, he seems to think the count was a bit slow. Macros gets to his feet and pulls Duke up by his hair. He hammers some knees into Duke's body all the way to the ropes. He returns with an attempted hammer throw to the ropes, but Duke reverses sending Macros instead. Macros bounces off the ropes and tries to clothesline Duke, but Duke ducks under it. Macros bounces off the opposite ropes and leaps at Duke with a flying Roman Salute, but Duke sidesteps and catches Macros in mid-air! He converts the bear hug into a Northern Lights Suplex! Duke covers as Salazar slides into position!

Almanti: A Northern Lights Suplex! Duke is going for the pin!

Pilgrim: Wait a damn minute! Duke has both of his feet on the top rope and Salazar doesn't see!

3!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duke quickly gets the feet off the rope and runs a big circle around the ring with his arms in the air. The crowd boos at the cheating George Duke.

Pilgrim: So much for no cheating to win the Valor Title!

Almanti: Hey, if you're smart enough to cheat and not get caught, you deserve it.

Pilgrim: That means absolutely nothing coming from a guy like you. The fact remains that George Duke has retained his POW Heavyweight Championship tonight.

Almanti: Just as I knew he would.

Pilgrim: That's not what you were saying earlier.

Almanti: Well, I have to show no bias during the match, you know.

Duke is handed his title and he slides out of the ring before Riley can inform him of what happened. As Riley tells Macros the details of the match, the rage building inside Macros is evident. Duke sees it too and puts into another gear as he runs up the ramp with his retained title belt.

Pilgrim: Well, I know Macros is upset that his career undefeated streak came to an end, but this is a learning experience. He is still one of the top contenders for the POW Heavyweight Championship.

Almanti: Absolutely. It's only a matter of time before he gets a shot at the top prize.

[Tito Capaci]

Tony Almanti: So, Alex, while we wait for our next match, we finally got the results of the POW Most
Popular Announcer that everybody took.

Alex Pilgrim: And?

Tony Almanti: As I predicted, I won. But not by the landslide I thought it would be. I won with 55.5%. You were at 44.5%. Good job old man.

Tony Almanti turns and shakes Alex Pilgrim's hand.

Alex Pilgrim: (Laughing) Not a problem. Anyway, coming up, we have the match a lot of people have been waiting for. Our boss and the Owner of POW, Tito Capaci will be dusting off his tights and stepping into the ring with a mystery partner.

Tony Almanti: Well, he doesn't really wear the tights, he wears...well, we'll see.

[Tito Capaci]

Luthien Morgoth is seen bursting through the black curtain as "Step Up" by Drowning Pool blasts over the PA system. He walks to the ring, then slides in as the crowd boos uncontrollably.

Richard Huff: First, weighing in at 250 lbs. LUTHIEN MORGOTH!!!!

The lights dim as "Prelude 12/21" by AFI is heard throughout the venue. Jake Ryan Winters makes his way to the ring, looking straight ahead at his partner. Winters knows exactly what needs to be done.

Richard Huff: And his partner, weighing in at 241 lbs...JAKE...RYAN
WINTERS!!!

Alex Pilgrim, well, we have our first team out here tonight, Jake Ryan Winters and Luthien Morgoth.

Tony Almanti: I don't think these two are very happy with the men who stole the titles from Tito Capaci...

Victory remix by Puffy begins to blast over the P.A. as Felon and BBK slowly step from behind the black curtain, sporting the Tag Team Titles around their waists. The intensity in the arena rises instantly as Murderous Intent walk with a purpose to the ring, some fans cheering some fans just cant stand the rawness that Felon and BBK bring to professional wrestling. As they enter the ring Felon stands on the top rope and extends his middle finger high in the air as BBK smiles arrogantly and yells out as he points to Felon " Put that in your 420 pipe as you prepair to take a ride on the Ego wave of fame.

Richard Huff: And introducing the next team, at a combined weight of 575 lbs, the team who currently hold the Tag Team titles, made up of BBK and Midnight Felon, MURDEROUS INTENT!!!

The lights dim down a near candlelit dimness as "The Maine Theme" from the Godfather begins to play. "The Sicilian Badass" makes his way to the top of the ramp. He smirks at the crowd, brushes off some fictitious lint on his shoulder before producing a microphone and raising it to his lips while the audience quiets down.

Tito Capaci: Now, I'm sure there has been quite a bit of speculation as to who my tag team partner is for this match. I've heard a laundry list of possible candidates. Is Brock Hoyle ready to come back to the ring? Is it Chester Coban? The epinonymous Flying Diamond Cutter Man? (The audience cheers the the mention of the "man")

Tony Almanti: TELL US BOSS!!!

Tito Capaci: Well, it's none of these fine performers. I suppose I'll
let him do the talking. This man has one of the greatest win/loss
records in wrestling history 109-15-7 and he's going to help me whip Murderous Intent's thieving asses back to wherever they're from. My Partner...

The lights go out and they flicker on and off as "A Heavy Hearted Work of Staggering Genuis" by Anberlin plays. As that fades out and into "Kobrakai" by Lost Prophets hits and the lights flicker some more and JTN can be seen standing on the stage with his arms raised to his sides. The audience goes wild as Jay T. Nitro shakes Tito Capaci's hand.

Tito Capaci: Don't worry about it Dick. I'll take care of the
introductions. BBK and Midnight Felon. You two did something unforgivable. Now, I've been nice and let you hold on to those belts for the past week. But know this, nobody screws with the boss. Nitro and I are going to beat a lesson into the two of you tonight.

Tito Capaci and Jay T. Nitro walk down to the ring with a determined and angry look while Tito takes off his suit coat and tosses it into the crowd. Tito Capaci and Jay T. Nitro slide into the ring and Nitro heads to his corner. Capaci points to Winters and Morgoth and then to their corner. The two men exit the ring to their own corner and stand to watch. Tito Capaci adjusts his suspenders while Felon and BBK argue as to who will face the boss. The Big Man, Midnight Felon steps up and stared down at the Boss, trying to impose his size onto Tito Capaci.

Alex Pilgrim: Looks like they've finally gotten things sorted out.
Midnight Felon vs. the Boss.

Tony Almanti: You can't be the boss without being fearless. Look at him stand up to Felon like that.

Tito Capaci looks up and down at Midnight Felon who's trying to
intimidate him. Before Midnight Felon can do anything, Tito Capaci launches a boot into the groin of Felon. Nathan McElvoy tries to reprimand Tito, but Capaci raises his hand and whispers something to McElvoy. Nathan McElvoy looks embarassed and then calls for the start of match bell.

Capaci's Quest for the POW Tag Titles to be Returned
Jake Ryan Winters and Luthien Morgoth vs. Murderous Intent vs. The Kingpins

Tony Almanti: Wow, looks like our fine Boss there took out the biggest threst in this match right off the bat!

Alex Pilgrim: Well, there's a creative way to do that.

Tito Capaci laughs while Midnight Felon stumbles over and tags in BBK. BBK hops into the ring while Midnight Felon takes a seat on the ring steps to wait for the pain to pass. BBK tackles Tito Capaci and starts dropping blows on the Boss. Before Nathan McElvoy can intervene, Tito Capaci reaches up and starts throttling BBK. BBK backs off of Tito, hoping that he'll release the hold on his neck, but Tito holds on tight. Nathan McElvoy gets to the count of 4 before Tito releases the hold. Getting back to his feet, Tito and BBK start trading blows. Tito finally counters one of BBK's right hands and delivers a brutal european uppercut. Tito jumps over quickly and tags in Jay T. Nitro.

Tony Almanti: Well, looks like Tito wanted to give Mr. Nitro a shot at BBK before this match is over. You heard what he said. You don't screw with the boss.

Jay T. Nitro slingshots over the top rope and brings BBK down with a cross body block. Nitro stays on top of BBK for the pin.

2..KICKOUT!

Jay T. Nitro springs back to his feet with a raucous applause from the crowd as BBK crawls over and tags in Luthien Morgoth. Luthien Morgoth cracks his knuckles and enters to face Jay T. Nitro. Luthien Morgoth looks back at Jake Ryan Winters who nods at him. Luthien Morgoth and Nitro lock hands and start a test of strength. Luthien Morgoth wins it out and throws JTN into the corner where BBK is slowly catching his breath. JTN smirks and tags in BBK. BBK jumps in and bolts over to the Boss's corner, but Luthien Morgoth heads him off with a clubbing blow to the back of the head. Luthien Morgoth wrenches BBK's arm around before
connecting with a devastating elbow. BBK blocks a punch from Luthien Morgoth and picks him up before dropping him into a backbreaker. BBK dives over and tags in Tito Capaci once more. BBK hops out of the ring and moves away from the ring over to the barricade to get a breather. While Tito climbs back into the ring, Luthien Morgoth crawls over and tags in Jake Ryan Winters. Tito Capaci stops Winters' assault before it happens by raising his hand. Tito walks over to the ropes and calls for BBK to get back up onto the apron. BBK shakes his head, but Tito Capaci pulls a
Pink piece of paper out of his pocket and waves it around.

Tony Almanti: Look at that! If BBK doesn't get back up to the ring, he'll get fired!

Alex Pilgrim: It does seem like the Boss wants to make a point here tonight.

BBK hops back up onto the apron as Tito does a mock bow and tags him in. Tito Capaci exits the ring while Jake Ryan Winters lays into BBK with a few right hands. Winters then grabs on to BBK and tosses him over with a nicely done belly to belly suplex. Winter then hops up onto the top rope and dives off, completing the combo with a splash from up high. Winter then picks up BBK and drags him over to Tito Capaci who tags himself in. The two men then lift up BBK and toss him to the outside, onto his partner, Midnight Felon.

Alex Pilgrim: I see, Bossman just wanted to eliminate the idiots so he could have a match with the non-thieves.

Tito Capaci and Jake Ryan Winters lock up, but Tito spins around and locks him into a headlock. Winters pushes Tito off of him into the ropes. Tito grabs onto the ropes to stop himself and gives Winters the 'no-no' sign. Capaci advances on Jake Winters and blocks a punch before delivering several of his own. He then whips him into the corner before body splashing him while tagging in Nitro. Nitro hops into the ring and up onto the second rope. JTN then delivers a 10-count of punches while the audience gleefully counts along. JTN then jumps and plants his feet into the stomach of Winters while grabbing onto his shoulders and rolls back, sending Winters flying across the ring.

Tony Almanti: And now we know why these two are the best in UWL!

Alex Pilgrim: That's for sure, these two work great together, I'm glad we finally get to see them in action here in POW.

Winters rolls out of the toss and ends up in his own corner and tags in Luthien Morgoth. Luthien Morgoth steps into the ring to face JTN. Nitro throws a punch, but Luthien Morgoth blocks it and wrenches JTN's arm around. Luthien Morgoth yanks JTN's arm down, potentially increasing damage before he locks JTN's head into a headlock. JTN turns Luthien Morgoth and pushes his into the ropes, sending Morgoth across the ring and rebounding off the ropes. JTN drops Morgoth down with a drop toe hold. JTN grabs onto Morgoth's leg and lifts him up into a high angle boston crab. Luthien Morgoth lets out a loud groan before JTN drops down to one knee.

Alex Pilgrim: Wow, Jay T. Nitro is taking it to Luthien Morgoth there with that modified version of the single leg crab.

Luthien Morgoth raises his hand as Nathan McElvoy goes down to check on Morgoth. Luthien Morgoth struggles against the pain for a moment. BBK hops up onto the apron and Nathan McElvoy runs to stop him from entering the ring just as Luthien Morgoth taps out, but McElvoy doesn't see him tapping out. The Midnight Felon, rejuvenated, charges into the ring and picks up Jay T. Nitro off of Luthien Morgoth and presses him over his shoulders. Felon then drops JTN onto his shoulders and powerslams him into the mat, on top of Luthien Morgoth. Jake Ryan Winters and Tito Capaci charge the two attakers, taking the fight to the outside of the ring. Jay T. Nitro and Luthien Morgoth slowly rise to their feet.

Alex Pilgrim: All three teams are back into the match here. There's no telling how this one'll turn out.

Tony Almanti: Yeah, both teams thought Murderous intent was out of this one, but they came back with a bang!

Outside the ring, Capaci has found a loose electrical cord and has it wrapped around the neck of Winters. He is tugging upward, choking Winters out. Felon is laid out on the ground at their feet. As McElvoy runs over to the nearside ropes to end this situation, JTN has and starts yelling at Tito to drop the cord. Capaci starts arguing with McElvoy. Meanwhile, inside the ring, JTN has beaten Morgoth down and put a figure four leg lock on him. Morgoth is already tapping out AGAIN, but the referee doesn't see it! McElvoy is yelling at Capaci to let loose of Winters with the cord, but Capaci refuses. As McElvoy has his attention on the POW owner, Mr. Ego quickly climbs into the ring and nails JTN in the face, knocking JTN out!

Pilgrim: What the hell? How did he knock JTN out with one punch?

Almanti: He MUST have something in his hand!

Mr. Ego throws something in the air to Tosha who catches it and shows it to the camera with a huge smile on her face. It's a trailer hitch ball from the Hummer! Ego slaps on his F.M. hold, a modified crossface and yells at McElvoy who turns and charges down to go for the count!

Pilgrim: No! No! There wasn't even a legal tag! Mr. Ego is not the legal man!

Almanti: We're talking about Murderous Intent, for goodness' sakes, Alex! They don't have to follow the damn rules!

As McElvoy drops down, Morgoth is begging for mercy and tapping out. McElvoy hops up and calls for the bell, declaring Murderous Intent the winners and NEW POW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!

Pilgrim: I don't care how you spin this, Tony. Murderous Intent does not deserve those belts!

Almanti: They got the job done. They're results oriented people and results are exactly what they got!

Capaci is shocked and can't even speak. JTN is finally coming around outside the ring. McElvoy hands the tag belts over to Mr. Ego and Felon as the crowd erupts into a mixture of boos and cheers. They climb out of the ring, mocking Capaci as they walk up the ramp.

Pilgrim: This is a disgrace. This tag team has no respect for that title. They have no respect for this company. Now they have cheated to win. I am not at all happy with these events.

Almanti: Well, just what the hell can do you about it? They won the match. Almost fair and square. Do you think Capaci wouldn't have done it if he had the chance?

Pilgrim: That isn't the point. Nobody should be crowned champions like that. Nobody.

Murderous Intent throw the belts over the shoulder and exit through the curtain to the backstage area.

[Tito Capaci]

The camera picks up just behind the curtain where Murderous Intent have entered the backstage area. They are laughing and Mr. Ego gets a quick kiss from his girl. They turn the corner to the long hall with locker rooms, but are stopped in their tracks by Reck Maverick and Macros! The crowd cheers to see M&M together, nose to nose with Murderous Intent. A stand still is in place and neither team wants to back down. Finally, Felon speaks.

Felon: Hey look, Candy boys. We've already wasted two tag teams tonight. Don't make it three, alright? Just step aside and let the big boys get through.

Murderous Intent each take a step forward, but both members of M&M hold their ground, refusing to let them through.

BBK: What the hell is your problem, huh?

After a bit of a silence, Riley steps from behind Macros and between the two tag teams.

Riley: Gentlemen, gentlemen. Please!?!?! There's no reason to resort to senseless violence and I know that this is exactly where this little confrontation is headed. No, no. You need to get involved in violence that makes all the sense in the world. Both sense and.....cents. There is money to be made with the new crowned POW Tag Team Champions in Murderous Intent versus the dynamic tag team of Macros and Maverick, otherwise known as M&M to POW fans. What do you say, gentlemen? Do we have a deal?

Riley extends his hand toward Murderous Intent hoping for a handshake to solidify a title shot for M&M. Felon and BBK look at Riley's hand and then each other. They look back at the hand and again to each other. They look at the hand and then look at each other for a little bit longer and then, in unison, smack Riley, dropping him to the ground. Immediately, Macros and Maverick jump on the offensive and an all-out brawl breaks out backstage! Before anyone can really get the upper-hand, security rushes in to break up the fight. After several minutes of fighting both tag teams, security and event staff personnel are able to get it under control.

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: Tonight has already been an amazing spectacle and now Murderous Intent has just added to their long list of enemies!

Almanti: I'm getting the impression that Murderous Intent is quite use to having enemies.

Pilgrim: That may be, Alex. But Capaci, JTN, Macros, Maverick....God knows who else they have pissed off, but it's a "Who's Who" of POW Wrestling!

Almanti: I for one, can not WAIT to see how this all transpires. Well, Alex, it's been a good run so far, and now here we are at Power On Wrestling's second, that's right, SECOND DVD Taping, All In.

Alex Pilgrim: Damn right Tony, it's been a hell of a run so far, and a
hell of a show tonight too. Now we're nearing the end of our show. It's time for the Main Event! Let's go down to Richard Huff for the introductions.

The lights go out and the arena is pitch black. The intro to "The
Fight" starts to play as the fans cheer in anticipation. As the guitar picks
up, yellow lights flash around on the entrance way. Danny Danielson takes a few steps out of the entrance way and stops to look around at the crowd. He tugs on his yellow t-shirt and says a few words out loud. "I'm the FUTURE of this business!" After a brief moment, Danny Danielson begins his walk down the aisle. He high-fives a few fans and continues his walk around ringside. Danielson climbs up onto the ring apron and mounts the turnbuckle, posing for the crowd. He jumps down and into the
ring.

Richard Huff: Ladies and Gentlemen, our first competitor in The MAIN EVENT! Weighing in at 220 lbs, from Spokane, Washington...he is, THE FUTURE, DANNY DANIELLLLLLLSON!!!!

The lights go out and the logo of S³ appears on the screen. As his
music hits and the lights come back on Triple S is standing on the stage in his signature pose with his arms spread in the air. He lowers his arms and walks down the ramp. He makes his way to the ring. The fans go wild as Shawn Stevens climbs the ring steps and enters the ring. He raises the belt over his head and the fans go even crazier while cameras flash left and right. Shawn Stevens hands the belt to Benny Lawson who raises the belt while Richard Huff continues on.

Richard Huff: And our other competitor, weighing in at 223 lbs, out of Chicago, Illinois...The POW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION...SENSATIONAL SHAWN
STEVENS!!!

The fans go even wilder for Shawn as Benny Lawson calls for the bell to start the match up.

POW Heavyweight Championship Match
Shawn Stevens vs. Danny Danielson

The bell rings as Shawn Stevens and Danny Danielson lock up and jockey for position. Shawn Stevens pushes Danielson back, but Danielson ducks under and pulls Stevens' arm around, wrenching it in the process. Danny Danielson lifts up on Stevens' arm to increase pressure. Stevens smiles and rolls forward out of the wrench, Shawn deftly whips around on the ground, tripping Danielson in the process. Back up to his feet, Shawn goes to put a hold on Danielson, but Danielson pushes Shawn off and into the ropes. Stevens rebounds back and ducks under a clothesline from
Danielson and bounces off the opposite ropes. Danielson bends down for a back drop, but Stevens rolls over him, pulling down into a pin. Benny Lawson goes down to count.

KICKOUT!

Alex Pilgrim: Both these men in this match are speedy and great
technical wreslters. We're seeing a great display early on in the match.

Tony Almanti: Wouldn't that have been a slap in the face if Stevens had picked up the win right there?

Alex Pilgrim: Oh yeah, the fans definently wouldn't be happy with a match that short.

Stevens hops up to his feet while Danielson rolls back and vaults
himself up. Shawn Stevens ducks under a punch from Danny and lays into him with a chop. Danielson clutches his chest as Shawn winds up for another, but Danielson beats him to it and lands a hard knife-edge on Shawn's chest. Shawn pauses for a moment and listens to the crowd boo Danielson, raises his hand and then nails Danny with a chop of his own. Danny Danielson blocks the next chop attempt and drives a right fist into the mug of Stevens. Shawn Stevens steps back a few paces, but Danielson goes to
pounce on him. Stevens throws his opponent off to the side, sending him to the mat. Danielson gets quickly back to his feet and Stevens grabs the arm and goes for an Irish Whip, but Danielson counters and sends Stevens into the ropes. Shawn Stevens ducks under another clothesline, but this time hooks Danielson's arm and swings around, hooking the other arm. Stevens picks up Danielson in a full nelson and slams him down back first into the mat. Shawn hops over and hooks the leg for the cover once more.

KICKOUT!!

Alex Pilgrim: It looks like Shawn Stevens wants to end this match
quickly. He's taking every opportunity to attempt a pin.

Tony Almanti: Either that or he's worried about Danielson late in the match.

Alex Pilgrim: I don't think that's it. Every time Danielson has to kick
out, he uses just a little bit more energy.

Shawn Stevens gets back to his feet and poses with his signature pose while the audience goes wild for their Heavyweight Champion. Danny Danielson gets to his feet and backs into a corner to catch his breath. Shawn Stevens gives Danielson the "bring it on" hand gesture and gets down, ready for the attack. Danny Danielson circles slowly around Stevens while the audience boos him. Danielson finally goes to punch Stevens, but fakes that into a shin kick to Stevens' side. Stevens takes the kick, but gets hold of Danielson's leg. Danny Danielson hops and throws an
enziguri, but Stevens ducks and Danielson goes to the mat. Danielson goes for a back kick, but Steven steps aside and grabs that foot too. Shawn Stevens twists one of Danielson's feet around, putting massive amounts of pressure on Danny's ankles.

Alex Pilgrim: Danielson looking to use some of his martial arts
knowledge there, but Stevens had his number and now Danny Danielson is paying for it!

Danny Danielson grimaces from the pain and reaches for the ropes, but they're just out of his reach. With a wild look in his eyes, Stevens torques the ankle even more, forcing Danielson to open his mouth wide in pain. Danny Danielson reaches out and his fingertips barely graze the ropes. He pulls himself forward and grabs onto the ropes, but Shawn Stevens pulls him away, back to the center of the ring. Danny Danielson, in a last ditch effort, rolls forward out of the ankle lock, catapulting Shawn Stevens to the ropes. Stevens flies out of the ring, but grabs onto the bottom rope to keep himself from crashing onto the floor outside.

Tony Almanti: Shawn Stevens almost died tonight, cause that woulda hurt BAD.

Benny Lawson keeps Danny Danielson at bay while Shawn Stevens climbs back into the ring. Stevens climbs back in and stands up while Benny Lawson releases Danielson. Danny Danielson goes to grab onto Shawn Stevens, but Stevens drives his heel into the weakened ankle of Danny Danielson. Danny Danielson grabs his ankle in pain and turns around while Shawn Stevens picks him up into a torture rack from behind. Danny Danielson struggles so that Stevens won't be able to use his move, and then he falls over to Stevens' back and rolls forward, taking Stevens with him in a
Sunset Flip. Benny Lawson drops down to the mat once again.

KICKOUT!!!

Shawn Stevens kips up while Danny rolls back, getting away from his opponent. Shawn Stevens whollops Danielson with a hard right, sending him reeling around. When he's back facing Stevens, Shawn tries to go for his Painkiller, but Danielson ducks by falling and Benny Lawson catches the full brunt of the move, getting knocked out. Danny Danielson takes advantage of the situation and brings his fist up into Steven's nether region. Shawn Stevens falls to his knees while gasping for air. Danny Danielson hooks Stevens' arms and lifts Shawn up into The Calm Before the Storm. Danielson twirls around 180 degrees before driving Shawn's face
down into the mat. Stevens bounces out of the move and rolls over onto his back, not moving. Danny Danielson goes down for the cover, lifting both of Stevens' legs. Danny Danielson yells for Benny Lawson to awaken while the boos resound throughout the arena. Benny Lawson doesn't move, so Danny Danielson releases the pin to go wake the referee. Benny Lawson starts to stir, so Danielson hooks back into the pin. Benny Lawson raises his arm for the extremely slow pincount.

THR...NO! KICKOUT!!!!

Tony Almanti: OH MY GOD! HOW DID STEVENS GET OUT OF THAT???

Alex Pilgrim: I don't know, but it looks like him wailing Benny Lawson on accident was a blessing in disguise!

Danny Danielson grabs his hair and starts arguing with a hurt Benny
Lawson, but Benny Lawson can't do anything about what has just happened. Danny Danielson climbs up to the top rope as Shawn Stevens doesn't move a muscle and flies off for a splash, but Shawn Stevens raises his knees, sending Danielson crashing into the mat. Benny Lawson, finally back to his feet, looks at both men and starts a slow 10-count.

Both men get back to their feet. A wobbly Shawn Stevens blocks a punch from Danny Danielson and then sidesteps a kick. Shawn Stevens hooks both of Danny Danielson's arms from behind, and putting his head into Danny's back, twirls him around before picking him up, so that Danielson is inverted on Stevens' back. Stevens drops down to the mat, putting an imprint of Danny's head into the canvas.

Alex Pilgrim: Wow! What a desperation move! That was The Family
Tradition!!!

Tony Almanti: Two HUGE moves almost one after the other!

1...

2...

THRE...KICKOUT!!!!!

Tony Almanti: How in god's name did he get out of that one?

Alex Pilgrim: I would guess that because of Danielson's earlier Calm Before the Storm, Shawn Stevens didn't have a whole lot to put into that move...

Stevens is the first one to his feet. He reaches down to grab DD by the hair, but Danielson responds with a huge low blow that doubles Stevens over. Danielson double underhooks the arm for a DDT maneuver, but before he can lift up Stevens, the Sensational One uses all the strength he has left to stand up straight, sending Danielson over the top of him and onto Danielson's back. Danielson hops up, holding his back. As he turns to Stevens, Stevens gives a good thrust kick into the stomach, which doubles over Danielson. Stevens is the one who double underhooks the arms this time and executes a picture perfect Windy City Driver into a pin!

Pilgrim: What power! The Windy City Driver!

Almanti: No! No! No!

Lawson, still a bit groggy slides into position and starts a still slow count....

Pilgrim: Stevens has done it! Stevens has retained! Stevens has retained!!!!!!
