Spring Breakage

[Tito Capaci]

As the clock strikes the top of the hour, The Dodge City Civic Center has a capacity crowd screaming for the first ever event held outside the confines of the Star Pavilion in Kansas City. "Cowboy" by Kid Rock begins to play over the PA system as the screen shows highlight from the "Road to Spring Breakage" series of shows. As the highlights fade away as the song fades to nothingness, the camera is focused on the announcer's table where Alex Pilgrim and Tony Almanti are holding down the fort.

Pilgrim: Power On Wrestling fans, welcome to the Dodge City Civic Center in historic Dodge City, Kansas. I'm Alex Pilgrim, and as always, my partner in crime is Tony Almanti. Tony, we're the partners in crime, but this is the hometown of a lawman by the name of Wyatt Earp. It may be a good idea to keep the lawbreaking to a minimum today.

Almanti: Pilgrim, the only laws you break are the ones the fashion police write tickets for. Look at that suit!

Pilgrim: What's wrong with my suit?

Almanti: It's brown!

Pilgrim: So what?

Almanti: Look man, brown suits went out with the Rockford files and James Garner, man.

Pilgrim: We're getting a little off track, Tony. My point is, this place has a lot of history and it's significant because tonight just has that feel that somehow history will be made.

Almanti: And could it be our first POW Midwest Heavyweight Champion change? Could it be that Murderous Intent loses the tag belts? But you're right, Alex. Tonight just has that feel that something big is going to happen.

Pilgrim: As you look at the card tonight, what do you see as a potential show stealer? Everyone is looking toward to that Heavyweight Championship match between George Duke and Shawn Stevens, a match we'll get into later, but what other match do you think people will be talking about tomorrow?

Almanti: I don't know that I can pick one. Every single match on this card is just huge. You have Showtime versus Lestat. Have you ever seen fights that were better than two guys fighting over one girl? Huh? Ever? No. Me either. But what about Reck Maverick and Josh Eagles? These guys genuinely hate each other. Oh yeah, both of them are just damn good. Nick Pickles taking on Kaleb Shadix is the most intriguing match of the night. Youth vs. experience. How can you vote against Flying Diamond Cutter Man versus Rich Morrison? Two of the biggest names in the industry right here in a territorial promotion. How did THAT happen? Any match with Murderous Intent is likely to steal the show, especially since they're going up against two members of the 4 Horsemen: XE in Lance Erikson and Dave Hunter. That should be an all out brawl. But I'm going to tell you right now. The AAA match has ladders. It has young, hungry wrestlers. I assume there will be blood. In short, Alex. I just can't tell you which match will be the talk of the town tomorrow.

Pilgrim: Absolutely. I think this very well could be the best night of wrestling action we've seen in the first, oh three months or so of Power On Wrestling. But without further ado, it's time for a match. All that's on the line is a title shot. What title shot? Any title they choose. Where? Any promotion they choose. Winning this match gives just about every card to that individual.

Almanti: There are no restrictions! All the titles are fair game. This is a huge opportunity for someone to walk away in very good position for gold.

Pilgrim: Well, all the competitors are currently in the ring. Again, the winner of this match will have to climb a ladder and grab the AAA medallion that hangs from the ceiling. The first man to control the medallion, wins the match.

Almanti: Let's rock this place!

Tanner Dutton surveys the ring and sees Big Ci, Night, Shadow, Daye, Victor Bloodmoon, Kid Luck, and Flap Flanagan all chomping at the bit, except for Flap Flanagan who is sitting on one of the top turnbuckles, drinking a Dr. Pepper. Three ladders are set up outside the ring, ready for use. Dutton calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

AAA Match (Any time, anyone, anywhere)

Pilgrim: And Spring Breakage has officially begun!

Almanti: Party down with some beer and swimwear!

Pilgrim: This ladder match is going to be a bit unusual in that most of the wrestlers involved are heavyweights, and quite a few of them tip the 300 pound mark. To the other extreme we’ve got Kid Luck and Flap Flanagan, both of whom weigh 150ish each.

Almanti: Enough talk, let’s get the match started!

The match begins with Night turning on Flanagan and knocking him clear over the ropes with a big right hand. Big Ci attacks Night with an axehandle from behind, whips him off the ropes, Night reverses, but Ci shoulder blocks him down! As this happens Shadow and Daye clothesline each other over the ropes and land at the ringside area where they begin exchanging punches. Victor Bloodmoon lunges at Kid Luck trying to use his size to overpower, but Kid Luck ducks the grab, hits a spinning kick to the face and then a corkscrew dropkick! Bloodmoon stumbles, Luck hits a running outside heel kick that takes both him and the big man over the ropes! Right now only Ci and Night are in the ring, they exchange punches. Shadow grabs Daye and throws him into the guardrail. Flap, with no one attacking him grabs a ladder and runs it into the back of Shadow’s head!

Pilgrim: Very tough match to call so far, wrestlers are fighting all over the place. The point of the match of course is to retrieve that medallion that’s suspended over the ring.

Flap slides his ladder into the ring and climbs in himself. Ci has Night pinned in the turnbuckle with a series of clotheslines, and Flap sets up the ladder. Night, seeing this, ducks a clothesline from Ci, then picks him up by the neck and throws him into the ladder! The ladder and Ci both land on Flap, and Night clears them out of the ring. As he bends to pick up the ladder, Kid Luck springboards to the top rope and double stomps Night on the back of the head, sending him face first into the ladder. Before he can do anything, Daye has ascended the ropes and hit a cross body that squashes the much smaller Luck. Daye picks up the ladder but doesn’t see Bloodmoon behind him. Bloodmoon scoops up Daye AND the ladder, scoop slamming him directly onto it!

Almanti: Now that’s the kind of viciousness you need to win a ladder match. You need to hurt people, hurt them quickly, and get them out of the match!

Pilgrim: Daye and Night are tag team partners, we’ll have to see what effect this has on the match.

Bloodmoon sets up the ladder, but there’s too many wrestlers still standing and he doesn’t try to climb it. Shadow and Big Ci have gotten another ladder from outside the ring, and Bloodmoon gets run over with a ladder shot! Shadow and Ci turn around and run down Flap with the ladder, and then hit Night… and then Shadow holds the ladder in position and dropkicks the end, sending it into Ci’s head and knocking him down! Shadow sets this new ladder in the corner, looks for a victim and chooses Kid Luck. He whips Luck into the corner – Luck matrix walks up the ladder and backflips over Shadow’s head before dropkicking him in the back of the head. Shadow goes chest first into the ladder in the corner. Luck turns on Bloodmoon, taking him over with a frankensteiner as Big Ci grabs Daye by the legs and catapaults him into Shadow, squashing him into the ladder! The ladder bends, and since it’s useless for climbing now, Ci puts it in the turnbuckle so that it’s flat side up, resting on the middle ropes.

Pilgrim: What do you suppose he’s setting up?

Almanti: Doesn’t matter, Bloodmoon just took his damn head off with Das Boot.

Ci falls out of the ring. Bloodmoon looks around, grabs Shadow by the neck. Lifts him up in a chokeslam, and drives him directly onto that ladder that was sitting on the ropes!

Pilgrim: MY GOD! He might have broken Shadow’s back doing that!

Almanti: Luckily for Shadow, his back was tougher than the ladder. Look at the thing, it’s mangled.

Bloodmoon now grabs the ladder and begins pulling at it, eventually ripping one of the legs off. The fans scream as the German monster swings the broken ladder part like a pipe. First he drops Daye with a shot, and then drops Night. Flap grabs the piece of ladder and uses it as a pivot to enzuigiri Bloodmoon! Bloodmoon stumbles and Flap uses the long piece of metal to execute a neckbreaker.

Pilgrim: Good move to put the man twice his size down, you gotta admit Tony.

Almanti: Yeah, but he’s still got a ways to go. And he’s about to…

Pilgrim: Get planted with the Royal Flush! What a move from Kid Luck!

Flap is down, and he’s rolled out of the ring. The participants seem to be thinning out. Kid Luck begins to climb the ladder that’s still standing. He’s getting near the top, but Daye clubs him from behind. Daye begins to climb the other end of the ladder, taking punches on Luck to keep him from climbing the ladder, although Luck doesn’t let go. Daye climbs to the top of the ladder, then pulls Luck up with him. He slams Luck’s head into the top of the ladder… and sunset flips over the top with a powerbomb… only Luck reverses MID AIR into a hurracarrana! The fans explode as Daye sits straight up and then flops to the mat barely moving. Night, seeing this, reacts with fury, scooping Luck up before he can attempt anything else, and planting him on the wrecked ladder with the M’Night Killa!

Pilgrim: There’s no one else standing, and the 6’11 Night is climbing the ladder. He’s going to be able to reach that medallion from the third rung… and… he’s… GOT IT!

Almanti: Damn, that Murderous Entertainment is really putting on a strong effort in POW. They already have the tag team belts and now Night can cash in that medallion to win another!

Daye hobbles up next to Night to congratulate him. Daye holds Night's hand up in victory as the fans boo the Murderous members.

Pilgrim: The only qustion now is who is Night going to go after? Will it be someone from POW Midwest or POW New England?

Almanti: And it could be any title and it could be at any time. Night is no stranger to this business. He may very well bide his time until he thinks he has the perfect spot and the perfect opponent for the perfect belt. The only question who can answer that question is Night himself.

Pilgrim: I can tell you one question that will be answered tonight: Who is going to walk out of the Doge City Civic Center as the POW Midwest Heavyweight Champion? Here's a preview of tonight's main event.

[Tito Capaci]

The lights dim as the screen shows a video promo for the POW Heavyweight Championship match later in the evening between George Duke and Shawn Stevens. It shows both the POW Valor belt and the POW Midwest Heavyweight Championship Belt on either side and suddenly flying toward each other. When they collide, an explosion occurs and when the dust settles, it shows a picture of Stevens and Duke staring each other down.

[Tito Capaci]

Black Label Society's "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom" begins to play over the PA system as Lestat walks out to the top of the ramp amongst the mixed reaction of the crowd.

Pilgrim: Folks, we're getting ready for a match of passion. Two guys. One girl. You figure it out!

Almanti: Everything was great until Lestat starting trying to get into Showtime's girl's pants!

Pilgrim: I think that's a mischaracterization, Tony.

Almanti: Not it. I know what goes through a man's mind. Why don't you?

Lestat starts to walk down the ramp when Fire runs up behind him, pleading with him not to have the match with Showtime. Lestat tries to be polite and reassures her everything will be ok. Lestat climbs into the ring and awaits Mr. Showtime. The lights go dark in the arena. The stage area turns to a gold color. Mr. Showtime comes out from behind the curtains. He points out to the crowd as they begins to boo.

Pilgrim: And here comes Mr. Showtime. He's had a rough start, not having the success he's accustomed to having. One has to wonder if the issues between himself and Fire are taking their toll.

Almanti: He hasn't had a lot of fair opportunities. He's rarely in singles matches, 1 on 1. This will be a more accurate test of where he is now. If he takes it to Lestat tonight, and I think he will....then Mr. Showtime will be back on the title scene!

Showtime smirks and heads down to the middle of the ramp stopping at the end of it.He turns and walks to the ramp and makes his way up it. He turns about and points to his black armband which has the Virginia Tech log on it. After he slips through the second and third rope. He raises his arms and walks ot the middle. Then he jumps to the turnbuckle and pose for the crowd getting them wild up.He pulls off his shirt and toss it into the crowd. Showtime makes a few poses, notices that Lestat is still arguing with Fire and runs in and hits a double axe handle from behind on the back of Lestat. Quickly, Manny Salazar calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

Mr. Showtime vs. Lestat

With Lestat on his knees, Showtime works quickly and hits a snapping kick to the Lestat's head, sending him all the way to his stomach. He backs up a few feet and hits a running elbow drop to the back of the neck of Lestat. He backs up again and nails him with another before getting Lestat back to his feet. He whips Lestat into the ropes and catches Lestat and throws the bigger man over the top for a releasing belly to back suplex.

Pilgrim: Showtime, working fast, is really on his game.

Almanti: This is his speed. He's an up tempo guy. This is a great start for Mr. Showtime.

Showtime taunts Lestat a bit before saying a fe harsh words to Fire. Showtime gets Lestat to his feet and hits a few knife edge chops to the back of the ropes. Showtime slides out of the ring and pulls on the feet of Lestat, forcing him again to fall on his stomach. Showtime grabs a leg and runs and runs the knee into the steel post in the corner. Lestat cries out in pain.

Pilgrim: This is definitely a more agressive Mr. Showtime. Maybe this was the spark he needed!

Almanti: Don't mess with a man's woman. That's all I got to say.

Showtime continues to work on the knee ramming into the steel post again and again. Fire comes over and pleads with Showtime to stop, but Mr. Showtime refuses. Again, Showtime runs the knee into the steel post, but sees that the refere is at 8 on the count-out. Showtime rolls back into the ring to stop the count, but rolls right back out with a fresh 10. He grabs the knee, and attempts to throw it into the post again, but something stops it...It's Fire! She has Lestat by the upper thigh and his holding it back from hitting the post. Showtime goes on a rampage, yelling at Fire. Fire yells back and Showtime gives a small shove right in the chest of Fire, pushing her back a few feet. Lestat sees this and manages to hobble over to the Showtime and hits a stiff elbow to the back of Showtime's head. Lestat tries to lift Showtime up for a side suplex, but his knee collapses out from under him.

Pilgrim: Wow. I think some serious damage may have been done to Lestat's knee with that ring post attack.

Almanti: I like the new Showtime! Who needs Cinemax?

Showtime again notices the referee's count-out and gets Lestat and shoves him back into the ring. Showtime rolls in and hits a leaping leg drop on the neck. Showtime points to the top turnbuckle and works his way up to the top. He looks down at Lestat. Then looks at Fire. Then looks at the crowd. He looks back at Fire and makes a cutthroat sign before pointing back at Lestat. He leaps for a huge frog splash, but Lestat just manages to roll out of the way!

Pilgrim: And there is still some awareness and fight left in Lestat!

Almanti: He just took too much time! Come on, Showtime! End his misery!

The referee looks around and both men are slowly getting to their feet, no need for a count. Showtime gets to his feet first and charges at Lestat, but Lestat sees it coming and trips Showtime so that Showtime flies into the turnbuckle face first. Lestat works his way over and starts to pick Showtime up by his hair. As he starts to lift him up, Showtime hits a big uppercut to the groin, which drops Lestat to one knee. Showtime quickly jumps up on the second turnbuckle and hits a dropkick to Lestat's face and goes for a cover! Salazar goes in for the pin!

KICKOUT!

Pilgrim: So close!

Almanti: Stay on him, Showtime! Finish this thing!

Showtime argues with Salazar about an apparent slow count and gives a few stomps on the bad knee of Lestat. He walks around gets Lestat's leg and is attempting to put the Figure 4 on his bad leg, and almost gets it in placed, but Lestat uses his good leg to shove real hard and Showtime flies into the turnbuckles again, and bounces back. Lestat reaches under and goes for a roll-up pin as Salazar drops into position!


1.....








2........








THRE---NO!!!!

Pilgrim: Oh my! He just kicked out of that one!

Almanti: Don't do that to me, Showtime!

Showtime shakes out the cobwebs and charges for a hard clothesline, but Lestat ducks under it. Lestat turns around, but Showtime has come to a dead stop and nails his superkick finisher, The Season Ender right on the chin! The crowd screams as Showtime hooks the leg with Salazar going in for the count!

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

Pilgrim: And Mr. Showtime is back!

Almanti: It's about time! Look out title holders, there's a living legend who is back in the winning ways!

Pilgrim: What an impressive victory for Mr. Showtime. I have to tell you, he looked as good as ever tonight. I have a feeling there are a few belts that could have Mr. Showtime's name written all over them.

Almanti: They're actually engraved, but I get your point.

Showtime doesn't stop with the victory. He drags Lestat's body over the ring post and forces Lestat to straddle the ring post. Showtime hops out and quickly slaps on the ringpost Figure 4! Fire is pleading with Mr. Showtime to release the hold, but Showtime's face just shows more resolve to ruin this man's wrestling career.

Pilgrim: Come on, now! Mr. Showtime has already proven his point! There is no need for this!

Almanti: I've said it once. I'll say it again. Don't mess with a man's wife.

Finally, security crews show up and start to wrestle Mr. Showtime away from Lestat. Fire is crying and wondering what she should do. Again, she elects to stay with Lestat as the medical crew come in to help him backstage. Showtime gets ushered out by security with a look of accomplishment on his face.

[Tito Capaci]

The show flips to backstage where Kaleb Shadix is walking out of his locker room to head towards the ring area. He's wearing his POW TV Championship belt when a newcomer, King Cobra, formerly of New Era Wrestling, catches him before he heads out.

Cobra: Shadix! Hey man, great work in your match with Black. You've turned a lot of heads in this company already and staying controversial is a way to stay in the limelight.

Shadix: I don't know who in the hell you are. I don't care. Bottom line, stay away from my ass. I don't have time for your man-crush over me at the moment.

Shadix tries to walk off, but Cobra puts out a hand and puts it into the chest of Shadix.

Cobra: Hey, man. I'm trying to be polite. Now your attitude has gotten you to where you are right now, but with me, all it will get you is an ass-kicking, you understand?

Shadix: Do you understand this?

Shadix throws a big right hand and connects to the right cheek of Cobra. He follows it up with another flurry of punches, but Cobra deflects most of them. Cobra regathers his control and catches Shadix in a front-lock bear hug and drives him into the back wall of the hall. Before he can unload punches, security is there to break them up so Shadix can continue to walk toward the ring. Shadix walks off grinning while Cobra is trying to fight through security.

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: Folks, there's a guy who has his eyes set on this POW Television Title and has a hell of a resume to back up his claim!

Almanti: He's with the big boys now. I know that New Era Wrestling pretended to be big-time, but let's face it....it's no POW.

Pilgrim: NEW has a very long and extensive history of success, Tony. POW is off to a dynamo type of start, but there is still a ways to go, my friend.

Almanti: All I'm saying is, this Mr. Nice Guy crap don't cut it around here. Ask Rich Morrison how that went for him. He quickly went back to the same jackass he's always been!

"Money" by Pink Floyd starts to play as the crowd immediately goes into a boo for Nick Pickles. Pickles steps out to the top of the ramp and laughs at the crowd.

Pilgrim: With the new talk about Kaleb Shadix and King Cobra, it makes you wonder if maybe Nick Pickles has the advantage. He's as dirty as the come, and the last thing he needs is a mental edge.

Almanti: I have to be honest. I like his style. He's unapologetic. He's witty. He's everything that's good with pro wrestling.

Pilgrim: Are you kidding me? He's a rich prick!

Almanti: And your point being?

Pickles walks down the ramp, dropping various denominations of dollar bills along the way. He walks up the steps and starts flipping through a wad of cash as if he's counting when The arena goes dark, and suddenly Adema's "The Way You Like It" begins. As the lights flicker back on, Kaleb Shadix is already emerging from the back.

Pilgrim: Let me guess, you like him too?

Almanti: You're damn right! Brash and arrogant. But you know what? He backs it all up!

Pilgrim: Yeah, when he pepper sprays the official and chokes ties his opponent to the damn guardrail with a microphone cord!

Almanti: The end......the means......You get too hung up on the details sometimes, Alex.

At the top of the ramp, he smirks and then begins walking down the ramp. The lights go out, and then come back on repeatedly as Kaleb makes his way down the ramp, only catching mere glimpses of him. As the lights continue flashing on and off, Kaleb finally makes his way towards the ring. He leaps up onto the ring apron and then steps through the middle and top ring ropes. Now, climbing the corner and standing on the second rope he glances about the audience, all the while the lights are continuing their alternation. He flips a quick bird towards the hissing crowd before getting down from the second rope and pacing around the ring as his theme dies down.

Pilgrim: This should be a great match. It's youth and athleticism of Shadix versus the experience and ring-smarts of Pickles.

Almanti: It's a win-win situation, really. Both of these guys are great!

Tom McElvoy, the referee for this match walks to the center of the ring and calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

Nick Pickles vs. Kaleb Shadix (Non-title Match)

Kaleb Shadix and Nick Pickles lock fists to start the match out in a test of strength. Nick Pickles falls onto his back. Kaleb Shadix
looks down trash talking to Pickles and gets poked in the eyes. As Nick gets back on top of his feet Kaleb Shadix charges at Nick only to be elbowed in the face. Nick laughs at Shadix and throws a few punches Shadix’s way. Kaleb Shadix catches one and whips nick into the ropes. Shadix kicks Nick in the midsection as Pickles doubles over. Kaleb Shadix calls for a brainbuster and connects with great impact.

The count:
1…..
.
.
2…
.
.
KICKOUT!

Kaleb Shadix brings Pickles to his feet and uppercuts him in the throat extremely viciously. Nick is holding his throat and even coughs some blood up. Nick turns around and walks right into a sidewalk slam. Kaleb Shadix smiles as he makes another cover

The count:
1…..
.
.
.2…
.
.
KICKOUT! Nick desperately kicks out at the last possible second.

Shadix looks on at this point very frustrated he hops up and marches toward the ref flipping the ref the bird. The crowd jeers a bit and he flips the crowd two birds. Nick is still down as Shadix looks on. At this point he is just stalking Nick Pickles, and is just looking to put the match away. Nick finally clings on to the rope trying to pull himself up. Kaleb sees the perfect opportunity and runs full speed to Nick and Nick pulls the ropes down sending Shadix to the outside. Nick once again pulls himself up, and makes his way to the outside where he is met by a flurry of punches and kicks from Shadix. As the ref makes his count to 5 Shadix rolls Pickles back into the ring, and climbs in himself.

Alex Pilgrim: This match looks to be all Shadix!

Tony Almanti: Nick Pickles will prevail.

Shadix once again brings Nick Pickles to his feet. And sets up for a perfect Northern Lights Suplex. OUT OF NOWHERE NICK GIVES SHADIX A NECKBREAKER!!!!

Alex Pilgrim: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!

Tony Almanti: I TOLD YOU WEALTH WILL PREVAIL!

Shadix is struggling to rise to his feet. Nick is down and out. McElvoy begins his count:
1…
2…
3…
4…
5…
6…
Shadix is finally up!
7…
Shadix brings Nick Pickles to his feet once again. Shadix whips Pickles to the ropes and runs into the opposite ropes. It looks like Shadix is setting up for a Running High Kick To Face. Nick ducks and Shadix lands on his feet he turns around only to be greeted by a spinebuster.

Alex Pilgrim: What a desperation move by Pickles!

Nick Pickles collapses after Shadix hits the mat.

Nick rises to his feet rather shortly and looks to be finally taking the advantage in the match. Pickles scoop slams Shadix. Shadix hits the mat but kicks Nick in the head.

Bubba hops onto the apron making the ref run over to him trying to get him off the apron. Shadix runs over to Bubba and flips him off Bubba takes a swing but Shadix ducks out of the way. Nick pulls something out of his tights….it’s brass knuckles he puts them on and turns Kaleb around and swings. Again Kaleb ducks and kicks Nick in the midsection and in the hand knocking the brass knuckles off Pickles’ hand. Bubba eventually hops off the apron and the ref turns around and concentrates on the match once again. Kalbe sets Nick up for Nick’s own Vlasic Crunch.

Alex Pilgrim: Now it seems Kaleb Shadix is trying to put this match away.

Nick counters. And as Shadix rises to his feet gives Shadix a spinning DDT. Nick rises to his feet and meets Shadix with the Billion Dollar Dream as Shadix frantically tries to break the hold Nick just locks in harder as Bubba claps outside the ring.

Just when Shadix looks to passout he starts elbowing Pickles’ in the midsection and eventually frees himself. Kaleb tries again for a Running High Kick To Face but Nick intelligently moves out of the way and Kaleb collides with the ref. McElvoy is completely out of it as Nick waves Bubba into the ring.

Kaleb picks up the brass knuckles that were thrown off earlier in the match. He swings and connects right into Bubba’s temple splitting him open. Nick turns around and hits Kaleb in the back of the head. Nick climbs to the top rope and tries a flying elbow, but just in the nick of time, Shadix rolls out from under it.

Alex Pilgrim: There’s four men knocked out in that ring! The ref, Nick Pickles, Kaleb Shadix, and Bubba!

Tony Almanti: What a match!

Suddenly, the crowd rises to their feet as a sprinting King Cobra runs down the ramp and grabs Shadix, pulling the body over on top of Pickles. Cobra grabs McElvoy, slaps him a few times to get awake and throws him next to where Shadix has been placed on top of Pickles. McElvoy starts the count in a groggy manner....

Pilgrim: And Shadix ends up winning the match, but I don't like the way he did it!

Almanti: You mean the way King Cobra did it!

Pilgrim: What happened to your "nice guy" Almanti?

Almanti: Maybe there's hope for him yet.

Cobra slides back into the ring. Bubba, who is back up, takes a swing at him, but Cobra ducks under it, shoves him to the ropes and follows it up with a clothesline that sends Bubba over the top rope to the delight of the crowd. Cobra walks over to the corner where Pickles sits and lifts him up. He whips grabs him and throws him through the ropes. Finally, he gets to Shadix who is just now starting to get to all fours. He gives Shadix a swift kick in the face before grabbing him and setting up for his finisher, the Snake Bite. He gets him into a vertical suplex and drops down into a cutter, leveling Shadix. The POW TV Champ rolls over on his back, out cold.

Pilgrim: And King Cobra made sure his debut in POW was going to be remembered!

Almanti: He didn't think this thing through, Alex. Now he has Nick Pickles and Kaleb Shadix looking for him. He's going to have to look over both shoulders and just when he thinks the coast is clear....BLAMMO! Haha, it's night-night sweetheart!

Pilgrim: It's going to be interesting to see how this three-headed monster plays itself for the POW TV Championship. But as you know, Tony, there was a tragedy this week on the campus of Virginia Tech University. On Monday of this week, a VT student shot and killed two individuals in his dorm and then entered a learning hall and killed 31 more in a senseless rampage.

Almanti: Putting aside all the differences, Mr. Capaci has called for all the wrestlers on the POW Midwest Roster to gather around the ring, making a chain, hand in hand.

[Tito Capaci]

Tito Capaci makes his way to the ring without any entrance music or special lighting. He doesn't have his normal cocky strut. Instead, he plainly, but quickly walks to the ring and climbs up the steps. His microphone is ready.

Capaci: At this time, I would like for every wrestler in the back to please come and join me as we remember those that were lost in the senseless tragedy that took the nation by surprise at Virginia Tech University.

The guys from the back file in quickly, without a word. Murderous Entertainment walks out followed by Big Ci and the Horsemen. Finally, all of the POW wrestlers in attendance are joined hand to hand around the ring when Capaci begins to speak again.

Capaci: This past Monday, the country was shocked when we saw how evil the human spirit can be. But at the same time, we can be proud of ourselves as a nation as we see the overwhelming show of support toward the friends and families of the victims, the victims that were injured, and the university itself. Unfortunately, this lesson had to be learned at the expense of 33 men and women who were working toward their college degree or in the case of the faculty members who were taken from us, helping youngsters to gain it. At this time, we would like for you to join us all in a moment of silence in remembrance of those 33 who no longer are with us.

Capaci, without saying word, puts the microphone down and walks backstage with the POW roster following him.

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: Obviously, a very touching moment. A somber moment. But quite simply, a healing moment.

Almanti: I'm from New York, a city that knows about tragedy. Believe me, those close to this tragedy do get comfort from even the smallest bits of recognition. Just to know people are thinking about you and pulling for you makes a huge difference.

Pilgrim: We certainly are thinking of them. Our thoughts and prayers, on behalf of POW, go out to those that have been touched by this tragedy.

Almanti: But, as you know, life goes on, even in POW. And that means we have blood-feuds. Nothing quite like what we're going to see....Mr. Reck Maverick versus the well-traveled, Josh Eagles!

"Sweet Sacrifice" Evanescense begins to play and the lights dim as a strobe light pours over the entrance area. The curtains part and the fans begin to boo as Josh Eagles makes his way onto the entrance landing with a smug and confident look on his face. Josh merley walks to the ring paying no mind to any of the fans, he then slides under the ropes and walks around staring into the crowd and laughing to himself as he awaits the start of the match.

Pilgrim: This match marks a best of five series between these two.
Almanti: Eagles will make short work out of Maverick. You heard him - Maverick's a jobber!

The lights begin to alternate between dark blue and crimson red as "His World" begins to fill the arena...At the conclusion of the song, somehow mysteriously, in the middle of the ring, Reck 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.

Almanti: I dont' get this crap. Is he one of those guys that runs around in a Star Wars Stormtrooper outfit?

Alex: Actually, Tony, the Stormtroopers don't have Light Sabers. They have laser guns.

Almanti: You're a nerd just for knowing that.

Reck places the sword back into it's sheath and hands it to a ringside attendant then slowly stands up and removes his Armour and helmet 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: The Atomic Ninja, making a grand enterence as always!
Almanti: That's because he's an ass.

Tanner Dutton comes in and calls for the opening bell!

Reck Maverick vs. Josh Eagles
Best of 5- Match 1

The bell rings loudly, and Maverick charges with a Running High Knee, catching Eagles in the head. Eagles staggers back against the ropes and comes running foward. He lands a Running Forearm on Maverick, sending the ninja staggering back into the corner. Eagles charges at his opponent, but catches a boot to the face. Eagles slowly backs out of the corner, holding his face. Maverick scoops him up, but he slips out behind and lands a slap to the back of the head. Reck turns and gets scooped up for the Airplane spin! Eagles spins several times, gaining speed with each turn before letting Maverick down. Both men are dizzy and stagger a bit. They meet in the center of the ring and begin exchanging blows. After a few rights and lefts, they lock horns in the test of stregnth.


Pilgrim: Nobody has gained the upper-hand yet. Neither man hit the mat - these men are quite evenly matched. This should be an interesting series between the two of them.

Almanti: Shut up, Pilgrim! You're keeping me awake.

Both men push against one another. Eagles has Maverick faltering. Maverick is bent over backward - his head is nearly touching the mat! He slowly begins to rise and Eagles has a panicked look on his face. Reck powers his way back upright and eventually whips out a snap suplex! Eagles is the first man to hit the mat! The crowd explodes and Eagles rolls to the outside to clear his head. Maverick poses in the ring while Eagles cups his ears and shouts at the fans. Eagles quickly runs to the other side of the ring and climbs to the apron. He climbs the top while Maverick is still posing. He leaps off with a Missle Dropkick, catching Maverick in the back. Reck flies foward into the ropes and out onto the apron. Eagles comes over and joins him on the apron. He jumps up and catches Maverick with a Hurricanrana
to the floor! Maverick is in a bad way as Eagles climbs to his feet with the assistance of the railing. The referee's count escalates higher and higher.

Maverick barely slides out in time. Eagles gets to his feet and drops an elbow on the prone Maverick. He lifts him to his feet and hoists Maverick up for a vertical suplex. He holds him up for what seems like forever (but what is more like 10 seconds) and then they drop to the mat. Maverick tries getting to his feet, but Eagles drops an elbow to the back. Maverick lays down flat. Eagles kicks his foe until he rolls onto his back. He makes the cover once again.

Almanti: If that happens, I'm quitting.

Maverick rolls over and grabs the ropes. Eagles cradles his stomach and lays in a fetal position. Maverick gets to his feet slowly and waits for his opponent to get up. Once he does, Eagles gets hit with a Double Arm DDT! Maverick makes the pin, hooking the leg.

Eagles kicks out, but it's too late! Maverick got the Three-count!

Pilgrim: And the star of the show wins match 1!

Almanti: Hey, he has to win 2 more! It's not over yet!

Pilgrim: But there is so much on the line, every match is important. Remember, the winner of this series gets a title shot. This is not a series to be taken lightly. I know both Maverick and Eagles want to earn their way into the main event and I don't know anyone that would argue a best of 5 between these two isn't a hell of a way to determine who gets that main event shot at the POW Midwest Title!

Almanti: We'll see. If Maverick wins the series, then no. This wasn't a good way.

Pilgrim: I know a couple thousand people in this arena who would disagree with you. Wait a minute, we have a camera backstage...

[Tito Capaci]

The camera you can tell is stalking. It's slowly bobbing up and down and slowly moving down the hall toward a huddle of men. Upon closer inspection, you can tell that it is Midnight Felon, Mr. Ego, Night, and Daye, otherwise known as Murderous Entertainment. The camera finally gets close enough you can hear a bit of the conversation.

Felon: They're not even going to know what hit them tonight, boys. Everything we've done up until this point has just been a sideshow for the feature presentation.

Night: Now you're speaking my language.

Felon: Tonight, when we take out.....wait a minute.

Felon looks up and sees the camera. He mouths a few 4-letter words before charging and slamming the camera down on his side. All the camera sees now is the floor which looks like the left wall and the left wall which looks like the back wall with the new camera angle. But the camera's microphones still work.

Felon: And if I catch you trying to film our strategy sessions again, we'll be filming you, but it will make the Abu Ghraib look like a damn Disney flick! Shut the damn thing off.

Suddenly, the camera shakes violently and the screen goes to static.

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: Why do I always get suspicious when a group like Murderous Intent gets in a huddle, talks in quiet voices and pitches a fit when they see the camera on them?

Almanti: Because you fear progress, Alex. You damn Republicans will be the bane of us all, I tell you!

Pilgrim: I actually voted John Kerry this go-round, thank you very much!

Almanti: You vote for that loon?

Pilgrim: Shut-up, Tony. You're just going to piss me off.

"4 Horsemen" Metallica begins to play. As the main tune kicks in, Lance Erikson and Dave Hunter of the 4 Horsemen: XE make their way to the top of the ramp.

Pilgrim: And here are two guys that I have to believe are a legitimate threat to win take the titles away from Murderous Intent!

Almanti: With the mean streak we've seen out of these two, I can't argue with that. Dave just destroyed his brother for crying out loud!

The 2 Horsemen make their way down to the ring ignoring the fans as they do. They slide into the ring and take opposite corners, jumping up on the turnbuckles and hoisting up four fingers on each hand as the crowd boos them. Their ritual is cut short however when Victory remix by Puffy begins to blast over the P.A. as Felon and BBKslowly step from behind the black curtain.

Pilgrim: And here comes Muderous Intent. I don't think I would be out of line when I say that these two men have caused more discussion than any other two men in the company.

Almanti: I don't think there is any doubt about it, Alex. These guys push the envelope. Their actions have gotten the attention of regional promotions far away from us, for crying out loud!

Pilgrim: Of course, you are refering to the UWL. They're the self-proclaimed UWL Tag Team Champions even though they don't have the belts. Those belts currently belong to Jay T. Nitro and Tito Capaci.

Almanti: Be that as it may, Murderous Intent did win a match against them.

Pilgrim: True, but the UWL belts were not on the line and they didn't beat JTN and Capaci anyway. They beat Morgoth and Winters.

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.

Pilgrim: Well folks, all four men are in the ring! We're about to get this POW Midwest Tag Team Championship match started!

Manny Salazar, the official for the match checks to see that both teams are deciding on a starter and calls for the opening bell!

Dave Hunter and Lance Erikson (4 Horsemen: XE) vs. Murderous Intent
POW MIDWEST TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Lance is in the ring, pumping up as BBK and Felon talk strategy over. BBK decides to start it now as Lance and him circle each other. Finally going in for a tie up, but BBK aint having it as he plants a knee into Lance's stomach. BBK then fire's some fists to the head of Lance. He whips him off the ropes, but Lance comes back with a flying forearm, knocking BBK down.

AP: BBK, mister ego thought he was in control.
TA: He was, still is...just a fluke spot there is all.

AP: Such smug individuals
TA: Can you blame them?

BBK and Felon take their titles and head up the ramp. Dave checks on Lance as he stares at the team on the ramp. They just point, laugh, then pat their titles.

TA: Murderous Intent rules
AP: Unfortunately

[Tito Capaci]

As the ring is cleared, the lights dim and a familiar voice to POW fans resonates through the Dodge City Civic Center.

Huff: Each event leading up until SuperMania III, a new member of the first UWC Hall of Fame class will be announced. Tonight, Power On Wrestling, the third inductee will be honored!

Voice Over: We are proud to annouce the second inductee into the UWC Hall of Fame-"



Voice Over: Vic Powers bolted onto the wrestling scene in 2001. With his muscular size and arrogant attitude, the fans quickly wanted to pour heat on him. Nicknamed the SuperBeast earlier in his career...he lived up to it.

We see Vic flexing his muscles as he does it right in his opponent's face, showing no signs of fear or respect,

Mike McManus: This guy was one tough dude. You looked at him as was like, damn....he can probably put a hurtin on me, and man did he ever when wrestling.

Slayer: I faced him many times, and he was as tough as they come.

We see Vic planting people with him patten Impact Powerbomb, leaving countless people out cold after the finisher.

Voice Over: In 2002, Vic made his way to the UWW, where he faced numerous challengers, including Slayer and Mr.Showtime.

Slayer: I cant remember how many times i came across him, but i guess that happens when your at the top eh?

Voice Over: Vic's tenture in UWW would only last so long before he ventured into the HWA, but finally landed in the United Wrestling Company in late 2005.

Bobby McManus: I had heard about him, and was like....man...we got to get him here.

Voice Over: Vic's claim to immortality would come in December of 2005, as he took part in the X-MASsace tournament to claim a vacated World Title. Going through names like Cyrus The Virus, Crush of The Wrecking Squad and long time friend Jack Hunter, Vic found himself in the final match aganist James Wade and Hannibal. This match would also lead to the creation of a powerful force.

James gets up and Hannibal is up as well. They exchange punches, left and right, left and rights until Hannibal gets the upper hand. Vic is coming to now. Hannibal chops James, and James chops Hannibal back.

Crowd:WOOOOOOO!

Vic then comes with a "Vicious Boot", but Hannibal ducks and Vic blasts James flying over the top rope.

Doc Williams: "Holy CRAP!"

Vic then turns around right into Hannibal "Final Retribution"!!!

Crowd:YYYYYYYEEEEEAAHHHHH!

Hannibal covers Vic.............1................2.........until suudenly someone pulls the ref right out of the ring. Its Mike McManus!!

Greg Gold: 'What the?"

Mike then sluggs the ref and the ref collapses onto the mat. Mike has the world title in hand as he hops on the apron now. Hannibal meets him halfway. Mike goes to swing the title but he misses as Hannibal grabs him.

Doc Williams: "Dammit swing again Mike"

Mike then throws the belt. Hannibal then nails him as he flies off the apron.

Crowd:YYYYYYYEEEAHHHH!

When Hannibal turns around, he gets nailed with the belt by Vic!!, who caught the title.

Greg Gold: "OH NO!"

Vic then catches Hannibal before he falls and plants him in a "Vicious Bomb"!!!!!!!

Crowd:OOOOHHHH!

Vic covers Hannibal as Mike signals for a ref. A ref comes flying down and makes the count.............1.............2...................3.

WINNER and NEW WORLD CHAMPION: Vic Powers

Greg Gold: "No NO...not like this."
Doc Williams: "Oh it looks so ingenuis."

Mike gets in the ring and hands Vic the belt as he holds Vic's hands up high. Vic smiles at Mike, as if it was the plan.

Hannibal is coming too. James Wade is back in the ring. And Jack Hunter is coming down the isle.

Greg Gold: "Whats this?"

Jack gets in and looks at Vic. James does as well. Then, James turns to Hannibal and gives him an "S.O.L"!!!

Crowd:OOOOHHHHHHH!

James then picks Hannibal up and thrusts him at JAck Hunter who gives him a "Final Kick'!!

Crowd:OOOOOHHHHHH!

Now Jack, James, Mike McManus and World Champ Vic Powers hold their hands high as the crowd gives some of the biggest heat of the night.


Voice Over: Vic, along with Jack Hunter and James Wade had aligned themself with Mike McManus and rigged the main event so that one of the men in the group would claim the World championship and bring it home to the McManus Family.

Jack Hunter: Nobody saw that coming (laughs)..nobody. I was kinda shocked myself, but hey, thats the business we're in right?

Voice Over: The relationship would quickly deteriate bewteen Vic and Jack, with Jack figuring out what Mike was up to and wouldnt play his game anymore. So friends turned to enemies.

Vic Powers: Definitly not something i wanted to do, but was necessary. He was threatening to come after my world title."

Voice Over: Vic and his stable would fend of the like's of Jack Hunter, Slayer and Ryan Helms, which would come to a head at Deadly Games. In an elimination match, Slayer and Jack's team would trump The McManus family, and in result as the stip stated, some of Mike's clients had to go.

Mike: Deinfitly not fair. Vic had that match won but we got screwed per my father.

Voice Over: Vic, now with only Mike left...would have to now face the challenge of Slayer at Wednesday Night Showdown for the title, on in which he lost. Shortly after, Vic departed from UWC...but he was never forgotten.

Bobby McManus: The fans wanted to see Vic lose that title, but when he retired...you could tell they missed him. His antics and skill in the ring was unparallel

Voice Over: In the end, Vic was remebered as one of the first great World Champions to grace the United Wrestling Company.

Slayer: He was good, no denying it. That's why he was a World Champ and that's why he's going into the Hall.

Voice Over: This is why we are honored to induct Vic Powers into the first class of the United Wrestling Company Hall of Fame!"

We see one more image of Vic, posing on the post with his World Title on the shoulder as confetti falls all around him.

Video Montage Over

[Tito Capaci]

AP: Congrats are in order for Mr. Powers, no doubt.

TA: The first UWC Hall of Fame class is shaping up to be an extremely good one already.

AP: We're about to see a fight between two guys that are destined to be a few company Hall of Fames before they end their careers!

"The Fight" by the Classic Crime hits the speakers as Danny Danielson comes through the curtain, he is clad in a pair of adidas pants, athletic shoes, and a referee shirt, he stops at the top of the ramp and pulls at the shirt looking at it and laughing to himself a little as the crowd boos him

AP: And here comes our special guest referee Danny Danielson, look at this guy. He's a real piece of work in that shirt.

TA: Show a little respect Alex, for one night only, this guy deserves the respect of any other POW official.

AP: Please don't talk like you think he's going to call this match fairly.

TA: Why not, he doesn't have a bias toward either one of these two. He doesn't like either one of them.

Richard Huff stands mid ring and makes the announcement

RH: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, your special guest referee, Danny DANILESON!!!

Danny continues down the aisleway ignoring the crowd as he walks, Danny steps up onto the ring apron and wipes his feet on the ring skirt before stepping between the ropes and into the ring, he gestures toward his shirt again, and again the crowd throws nothing but hate and catcalls his way, "America's Most Hated" by Kevin Federline kicks up on the p.a.

RH: From Manhattan, New York, weighing in at two hundred and ten pounds, he is "New Money" Rich MORRISON!!!

Rich is met by resounding boos as he comes through the curtain, he stalks down the aisle and keeps his eyes focused on Danny Danielson in the ring, Rich slides under the bottom rope and then gets to his feet, moving over to the corner and hopping up on the middle turnbuckle, he throws his arms in the air and the crowd boos him harder, Rich hops down and runs the ropes almost bowling Danny over in the process, he stops and then peers at the curtain, "YYZ" by Rush kicks up over the p.a. next, two Flying Diamond Cutter girls strain as they haul a huge roll of red carpet through the curtain, they lay it at the top of the entryway and begin walking it down the aisle, smoothing out all of the wrinkles and imperfections as they go, the process takes so long that they actually have to start the song over

AP: Jeez, is he coming out or what?!

TA: Just give them a minute, it's gotta be right.

two more ladies come through the curtain holding sparklers as Flying Diamond Cutter Man strolls through the curtain in his ring gear and sunglasses, he is also adorned with his sleeveless red robe which reads "The Real World Champion" on his back, and the UWL title belt is strapped around his waist, FDCM throws his arms around the two sparkler girls and they walk down the red carpet as the two "carpet layers climb the ring steps and wait for their champion, the trio stop at the end of the carpet and FDCM waves them off back to the back, he steps up the steel steps and walks across the apron, the two girls hold the ropes open for him and he steps into the ring to a chorus of boos as he basks in everyones hate for him

AP: Everyone in this match, even the referee, is absolutely hated by the POW fans.

TA: It oughtta do them some good to see them rip each other apart then.

RH: And his opponent, from Jersey City, weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds, he is the UWL Heavyweight Champion, and the self proclaimed Real World Champion, FLYING Diamond CUtter MAN!!!

FDCM removes his sunglasses and hands them off to one of the girls, he then holds his arms back as the other girl removes his robe for him, finally FDCM removes the UWL title belt and raises it over his head before handing it off as well, the two girls exit the ring and FDCM and Rich Morrison stare each other down as Danny Danielson calls for the bell.

ding-ding

Rich Morrison vs. FDCM (Special Referee- Danny Danielson)

AP: And after what could have possibly been the longest entrance in this company's short history, we're finally ready for action.

TA: This one's gonna be good.

FDCM gets up in Rich's face and begins jacking his jaw, Rich turns his face to the side to avoid being spit on and then he pushes FDCM back before giving him a vicious chop to the chest, FDCM takes a few steps back and looks at Rich with a grin on his face, he then steps forward and hits an open hand slap across Rich's chest, Rich backs up and hits the ropes before moving forward and hitting another chop which sends FDCM down to the mat, FDCM gets up and goes for another chop which is ducked, Rich then gets up and hits another chop sending him reeling backwards against the ropes, Rich moves forward and nails a few right hands before shooting FDCM off the opposite side and then backdropping him on the return, FDCM bounces back up holding his spine and Rich runs forward hitting a swinging neckbreaker, and making the cover

ONE...





Danny justs sits there with his hand raised staring right at Rich Morrison, Rich stares back with a look of fury in his eyes, Danny chuckles a little as he stands back up and stares on as FDCM rakes Rich's eyes and gets back to his feet, trying to blink the vision back, FDCM charges forward and hits a million dollar knee lift, which spins Rich all the way around, he then nails him with a hard discus punch sending Rich down to the mat, Rich gets back up and FDCM cinches in a side headlock, Rich drops down and takes him down by the ankles Rich floats over and slaps at FDCM's head before standing up and preparing himself for the oncoming assault, FDCM gets to his feet infuriated and he charges forward with a clothesline, Rich ducks it and FDCM throws a blow backwards which Rich dodges as well, FDCM turns throwing rights and lefts which Rich dodges before blocking the last one and slapping FDCM across the face

TA: Slapped the tastebuds right out of his head.

AP: And Rich seems to have gotten FDCM riled up, and FDCM needs to get his wits about him if he's gonna get back into control here.

Rich moves behind FDCM and hits a big time back suplex, he lets FDCM get back to his feet groggily before running forward and taking him down with running high knee to the chest, Rich covers him again

ONE...




Once again Danny stops counting and gets back to his feet looking out at the crowd, Rich gets up and is absolutely fuming as he backs Danny up against the ropes screaming in his face, Danny just backs slides away from him as FDCM comes crashing into him with a body blow, FDCM drags him by his hair out to the center of the ring and nails a reverse DDT, he then gets up again heads toward the corner, he steps between the ropes and climbs to the top, he sets his feet under him and flies off with a huge flying headbutt, the crowd groans and FDCM rolls over onto his back with a starry look in his eyes, Danny begins the count

ONE...





TWO...




Danny stops counting and he hops up sitting on the top turnbuckle with his feet resting on the middle, FDCM gets up first holding his head and stumbling around as Rich gets to his feet on wobbly legs, FDCM throws a right hand and Rich stumbles back using the ropes to hold himself up, Rich rebounds and hits FDCM with a huge right hand of his own, FDCM hits the ropes similarly and rebounds off before throwing another right hand, Rich ducks it and hits a backbreaker, he then stands and stumbles around for a moment, before looking down at FDCM, he then gets a running start and springs off the middle rope hitting a lionsault across FDCM's chest, Morrison covers, Danny Danileson doesn't even bother to start a count

AP: Aw come on, Rich Morrison has should have this thing won, but Danny Danielson won't count. This match isn't gonna end at this pace.

TA: It better, neither one of these two are looking too swift in there.

Morrison lifts FDCM to his feet but FDCM brushes him off and goes for the Diamond Cutter, Rich shoves him off and FDCM hits the ropes, Rich hits a boot to the gut and attempts the Queens Cutter '03, but FDCM hits a blow to the ribs to avoid it, FDCM then locks him in a dragon sleeper before rolling him around and hitting the Diamond Cutter, he then covers

Danny stops counting again exclaiming Nah![/red], FDCM gets to his feet and slumps in the corner out of exhaustion just staring across the ring at the chuckling Danny Danielson, meanwhile Rich Morrison has slid out of the ring to catch his breath

AP: And it doesn't appear he's counting for the champ either.

Rich walks up behind Danny and trips him up by his ankles, the crowd goes nuts as Rich pulls him back and crotches him against the ring post, FDCM looks on in amazement and then walks across the ring, he leans down and grabs Danny by his hair, he begins landing blows to Danny's face and then Rich rolls back in the ring and turns him around and boots him the gut lifting him up and driving him to the mat with his Operation: Kill Wrestling finisher, Danny doesn't get much time to gather himself however as both men lift him to his feet Rich grabs a cutter and so does FDCM on either side of Danny before they both leap into the air and drive him down to the mat, Danny lays unconcious as the team of Morrison and FDCM push Danny under the bottom rope and to the floor with their boots, the look down and admire their work before turning their heads and staring at each other, Morrison acts first throwing a right hand which FDCM blocks, FDCM then goes for a clothesline and Rich ducks under it and hooks him in a uranage position going for his New York City Side Effect finisher, FDCM elbows his way out of it and grabs onto Rich's wrist spinning out of it and attempting another Diamond Cutter, Rich hits a blow to the back, Rich then moves around to his front and leaps up attempting the Bankroll, he hooks onto FDCM's head but lands on his feet behind FDCM, FDCM then completes the counter by doing a standing switch and locking Rich up in a dragon sleeper yet again, meanwhile Benny Lawson runs down the aisleway

FDCM heads up the aisleway which is still covered by his red carpet, Benny Lawson catches up to him in the middle of the aisle and hands him his UWL title belt and raises his hand in victory, FDCM then completes his trip up the aisle and the scene fades

[Tito Capaci]

The lights in the arena dim down as the screen lights up and shows highlights from the first week of POW New England's programming, including the victory of FDCM over Big Ci. After the 2-3 minute montage of action, Randall Lovejoy had a pre-recorded message to say at Spring Breakage.

Lovejoy: POW Wrestling fans, it is my pleasure and honor to be the general manager of POW New England. POW Midwest set the bar amazingly high and I'm excited with the challenge of living up to that very same level. To help out with that, we have a few familiar faces. First, Victor Bloodmoon. This is a man that came within a hair's breath of being your POW Valor Champion. We have Eddie Buchalini, a man set to be inducted into the UWC Hall of Fame. We have several faces that may be new to you, but are soon to be very familiar faces in POW territories everywhere. Guys like Mick Cormac, Phillip Owen Weiss, Zevon, and The Combat Solider just to name a few. We have puro style, lucha style, power, grappling, everything! And we're bringing it all to you at POW New England! Keep checking our websites for taped video footage! See us once, see us forever!

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: Tony, I know you, like I was eager to see POW New England get started and I have to say, I was very impressed with what I saw.

Almanti: They have everything. To imagine that much talent for a first ever event is just crazy. Power On Wrestling should be damn proud to have that branch flying the POW banner.

Pilgrim: Lovejoy has done an amazing job there, no doubt. But now....We're finally ready for it Tony! The clash of two champions!

Tony Almanti: HERCULES AND ANUBIS!!

Alex Pilgrim: ...

"Death Rides A Horse" plays loudly over the speakers as George Duke steps out from behind the curtain wearing a Royal Blue robe and his Valor Championship. He makes his way to the ring, ignoring the negative fan reaction. Duke climbs up the steps and through the ropes. He raises his arms high above his head while the fans boo him incessantly. He takes off his robe and Valor Championship, handing them both to the ring attendant.

Richard Huff: Ladies and Germs! Introducing our first competitor this evening, YOUR VALOR CHAMPION, GEORGE DUKE!!!

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, POW Heavyweight Championship in hand. Shawn Stevens slides under the ropes before he springs back to his feet. Shawn Stevens hands the belt off to Benny Lawson. Before Richard Huff can make his introduction, George Duke attacks Shawn Stevens from behind, clubbing him down to the mat. Quickly, Benny Lawson calls for the opening bell!

POW Heavyweight Championship
George Duke vs. Shawn Stevens (c)

Shawn Stevens rolls out of the way of a stomp from Duke. Stevens gets enough room to get to a knee, but has to fall back to avoid a hard kick from Duke. Stevens rolls out of his predicament and gets back to his feet. Stevens blocks a punch from Duke and responds with a couple of rights to the Valor Champion. Stevens rebounds off the ropes and connects with a flying shot, knocking Duke to his back. Quickly getting back to his feet, Shawn Stevens lets a couple of kicks fly before he drops a leg on top of Duke. Stevens quickly leaps over George Duke for a pin.

1..KICKOUT!

George Duke kicks out with authority, pushing Shawn Stevens off of him. Stevens dusts himself off as Duke tries to hit Stevens with a boot. Stevens grabs hold of his leg and rolls under Duke, bringing him down once again with a dragon screw.

Alex Pilgrim: Stevens here, setting the pace of the match early. George Duke is going to have to do everything he can to keep up.

Tony Almanti: Stevens here, making a fool out of George Duke!

Alex Pilgrim: Tony Almanti here, mocking me...

George Duke has his arm grabbed by Stevens who tries to whip him into the ropes. Duke reverses and sends Shawn Stevens into the ropes instead. Stevens rebounds off the ropes and head back toward Duke. Stevens tries to jump into Duke but gets caught. Duke pulls stevens around and drives him to the mat with an Arn Anderson spinebuster. Before Duke can do anything else, Stevens grabs onto the ropes and pulls himself from Duke's grasp. Stevens hops back up to his feet and gets Irish Whipped into the ropes. Stevens grabs onto the ropes, stopping himself, forcing George Duke to spin around when his Axe-Handle connects with nothing.

Alex Pilgrim: I think Duke is having a bit of trouble here.

Tony Almanti: Well, that's what happens when you get a little anxious. The champ is as cool and collected as ever.

Shawn Stevens hops himself up onto the middle rope. He springs off of it, driving a missile dropkick into George Duke's face. Stevens hops back to his feet and rebounds off the ropes. He jumps over a rising Duke and bounces off the other side. Leaping, he drives a knee into George Duke's face. Shawn Stevens quickly drops another leg across the chest and neck of Duke. Getting back up, Shawn Stevens rebounds off the ropes again, striking a sitting Duke with a shin kick across the face. Shawn Stevens grabs onto Duke's legs, trying to step over and turn him into the Biohazard. George Duke struggles against the move, not allowing himself to be turned over.

Alex Pilgrim: WHOA! Shawn Stevens trying to end it early here! But I don't think George Duke is in a complacent mood just yet.

Tony Almanti: Why not? It'll totally stretch out your back, and you don't have to pay anybody for it.

George Duke grabs onto Shawn Stevens' ankles, effectively ending the move. After he pulls for a minute, Duke gets Stevens' legs out from under him, slamming him hard into the mat. Duke gets to his feet, still holding onto Stevens' legs and drives a couple toe kicks into the back of Stevens' thighs. After quite a number of those, George gets Stevens to his feet, and curling Stevens' left leg up, lifts him up, dropping Stevens' shin over his thigh. Duke lets go as Stevens limps off, toward the ropes. Duke advances on him and delivers a couple of special order right hands to Stevens. After a few shots, Stevens tries to flip over the ropes to escape Duke. Duke grabs onto Stevens' left leg and hooks his foot on the middle rope, trapping him upside down. Duke starts punishing Stevens' leg with a barrage of punches and kicks while Shawn is incapable of defending himself. Benny Lawson starts the count to disqualify Duke. Duke lets up after the count of four and walks away as Benny Lawson goes to check on Stevens.

Alex Pilgrim: That'll slow the champ down for sure. He can't use his blinding speed if Duke kills that leg of his.

Tony Almanti: But you know the champ, he won't give up after a couple of cheap shots like that. George Duke is going to have to do more than that.

George Duke pushes Benny Lawson out of the way, going back to work on the Champ's tied up leg. Benny Lawson starts his count once again, this time going faster. Duke lets up at the count of four again and raises his arms, and backs off once more. Stevens grabs onto the ropes and pulls himself up. He falls forward into the ring, clutching his leg in pain. George Duke drops a couple of boots onto the knee and with each one, Stevens writhes in pain. Duke hops out of the ring and grabs onto Stevens left leg, pulling him toward the turnbuckle post. Duke slams Stevens' leg into the turnbuckle post a couple of times before he wraps it around the post, pulling with all his weight. Benny Lawson yells at George Duke to release the hold. Duke finally does at the count of four again. George Duke climbs into the ring while Shawn Stevens tries to crawl from the corner with Benny Lawson checking on his status.

Alex Pilgrim: And Duke has all but cut off the Champ's offense with that underhanded tactic right there.

George Duke picks Shawn Stevens up and pushes him into the corner. Stevens throws a couple of weak punches out and Duke smirks, clocking Stevens in the face with a hard right hand. Shawn Stevens slumps to the mat as Duke walks off, arms raised while the crowd boos. Benny Lawson checks on Shawn Stevens while George Duke throws something into the crowd.

Alex Pilgrim: A ROLL OF QUARTERS! THAT CONNIVING BASTARD!!

George Duke pushes the ref out the way again and lifts a groggy Shawn Stevens up and wraps Stevens' leg around the middle rope and heaves back. Benny Lawson forces George Duke to let go. Shawn Stevens falls back down to the mat. Duke pulls a grounded Shawn out from the corner by his injured leg. George Duke bends down and wraps Stevens' leg around his neck and stands up. Shawn Stevens screams in pain from the Stretch Muffler. Benny Lawson goes down to see if Stevens wants to submit and notices a couple of quarters strewn about the mat. Benny Lawson picks them up and starts yelling at Duke, showing the loose change in his hand. George Duke starts trying to defend his case while Benny Lawson continues yelling.

Tony Almanti: I guess Duke should've made sure the roll of quarters was sealed.

Alex Pilgrim: And that's why Benny is our senior referee. He notices things like that!

Duke and Lawson continue to argue and finally, Duke releases the hold and gets in the Head Referee's face. Lawson doesn't give an inch and puts his index finger in the face of George Duke, warning him to back up. Duke gives a forceful slap to Lawson's hand and Lawson gives Duke a final warning. With Duke arguing with the official, Stevens recovers, sneaks up behind Duke, underhooks the arms and hit's his verterbreaker version for his finisher!

Pilgrim: Windy City Driver! Windy City Driver!

Almanti: That damn official just had to stick his nose in someone else's business!

Benny Lawson quickly slides into position and starts pounding the mat for the pin!

Richard Huff: And your winner.......and STILL, Power On Wrestling Midwest Heavyweight Champion.......SHAWN STEVENS!!!!

Pilgrim: And Stevens is really setting the standard for POW Heavyweight Champions! Two defenses, clean victories. Shawn Stevens has set the high water mark in this company!

Almanti: Give me a break, it's just beca....what the?

As Stevens is celebrating with the fans by acknowledging them while on the middle turnbuckle, a huge figure slides into the ring. It's Midnight Felon!

Pilgrim: Midnight Felon has no business in the ring right now!

Almanti: He's Murderous Entertainment, man! It's always his business whether it's his business or not!

Felon casually walks up behind Stevens, who still doesn't know he has company. Quickly, and with agility, Felon hops up on the turnbuckle with him and hits a nasty belly to back suplex from the middle turnbuckle. Felon quickly gets to his feet, gets Stevens to his feet and hits the "Stroke of Midnight." It doesn't take long before BBK, Night, and Daye all come strolling down the ring with smug smiles across them all.

Pilgrim: Before this gets any further out of hand, I really think we need to get some security out here.

Almanti: Hey, Stevens has nobody to blame but himself. He's isolated himself. If he doesn't have anybody in the back that will give him a hand, it's his own doing.

Night and Daye slide into the ring and each take an arm, and hold Stevens up, exposing the chest, ribs, stomach and head to Felon. Felon reaches back and gives a hard boot to the stomach of Stevens. The crowd is screaming, begging for someone to come out, but the top of the ramp is dead still. Felon pulls back and levels a hard side kick into the chest of Stevens. Felon laughs and points to Stevens while looking at BBK. BBK nods that he'll take a shot and instead of kicking, comes in close and hits several hard right hand close fists to the face of the POW Midwest Heavyweight Champion.

Pilgrim: For the love of God! Someone stop this!

Almanti: You seem so damn determined to see it stopped....YOU go in there and politely ask Murderous Intent to leave Stevens alone.

Pilgrim: My wrestling days are over, Tony. But 20 years ago, I'd roll some heads!

Almanti: Yeah, I'm sure.

Felon takes one more good hard shot at Stevens with a right hand and gives some instructions to Night and Daye who quickly slide out of the ring. The reach under the ring and pull out a table and set it up on the outside. BBK holds his hands out to the side as the crowd continues to boo, still looking at the entranceway for help. Felon climbs to the outside apron as BBK pushes Stevens over to the other half of the POW Midwest Tag Team Champions. Felon motions with his fingers to Night and Daye to push the table just a bit more. They do. Felon gives a sick smile to the crowd behind him before lifting Stevens up into the vertical suplex position and holds him there for several seconds.

Pilgrim: The Inside Out! And it's going to be a through a table! My God!

Almanti: Yes, Lord...THANK YOU!!! THIS IS AWESOME!

Felon drops back, and Stevens' body crashes through the table, ripping it in half. The crowd gasps as Felon shakes off a few cobwebs before getting to his feet. High fives all around for Murderous Intent. Felon slaps Richard Huff before taking his microphone and climbing back into the ring. BBK climbs up the steps as Night and Daye both slide under the bottom rope and stand behind the POW Midwest Tag Team Champions.

Felon: I have begging to have a match with this so-called POW Champion for weeks! Tito Capaci, give me this match or this crap is going to happen every single week! I don't want just any match. I want Stevens in a cage! That's right, Capaci. Felon. Stevens. Cage. Get it done soon, or this will be the first in a long line of bad instances for your little chump.

Felon drops the microphone all four members of Murderous Intent take a different turnbuckle and mock the crowd.

Pilgrim: All the complaining in the world doesn't change the fact that right now Murderous Intent is doing whatever the hell they want.

Almanti: This is a business based on results and Murderous Intent is doing whatever it takes to get the results they want. Take a long look, Alex...that's the long-term future of POW right there!

Pilgrim: I hate to end it on this note, but we have got to go! Spring Breakage is in the books and now we just play the waiting game. Will Capaci have an answer next week? We'll see next week at "The Road to SuperMania"!

The show fades away with a long distance shot of the ring with Night, Daye, BBK, and Felon all at their own turnbuckles showing off.
