The Road to SuperMania III 5-3-07

[Tito Capaci]

The show opens up with Josh Eagles fully dressed in his wrestling gear walking around back stage as if looking for something or someone. He stops various people along his travels looking to inquire about what ever or whom ever it is he is searching for. Turning a corner he stops dead in his tracks and a smile comes across his face. He has spotted Brian Lee and Brian Lee has spotted him and is coming toward Eagles fast, but in a non aggressive manner.

Eagles: "Brian, Brian just the run down bum I have been looking for!"

Brian: "What the hell do you want?"

Eagles: "Now is that anyway to treat a friend of yours Brian... I just came to give you this gift."

Josh raises the book he is holding and wags it in Brian's face. Brian slaps it away and Josh looks at him with a mock sadness in his eyes.

Eagles: "Oh don't worry, I didn't figure you could read so I actually got it on CD, chapter by chapter... it really is a fasinating listen, it is called... "Getting Over My Bad Life Because Nobody Cares". I figured you of all people would like it being the fact that you shot your mouth off about me running the same old things, when well Brian... everyone has some sad story to tell and I just don't care... just like I don't care about you... people like Reck Maverick or Macros... THEY are worth caring about, you... you are only worth giving an ass whooping."

Brian suddenly takes a big step toward Josh, who doesn't back down or move but watches as Brian's eyes flick to the corners and all around as 4 massive body guards emerge from the shadows. Brian just smirks.

Brian: "You know I could hit you before they ever even got close?"

Eagles: "Now, Brian we all know you could... but you won't! You just save it for the ring... take all that pent up anger and watch as I kick your ass later on tonight."

Eagles then leans in close to Brian's ear and whispers to him.

Eagles: "It should be a fun match... I wonder who else I may have bought!"

Josh then leans back out and pats Brian on the shoulder and walks away.

Eagles: "See ya tonight Brian!"

The scene cuts into the main part of the arena with the crowd on hits feet ready for another great night of hot POW action! Blown Away by Breaking Benjamins begins to play loudly across the arena as the fans get even louder. The big screen inside the Ameristar Casino's Star Pavilion in Kansas City, Missouri starts to show highlights of Power On Wrestling. Alex Pilgrim and Tony Almanti are sitting at the announcer's table ready to begin the show.

Pilgrim: Already the fireworks are getting started in POW! Folks, I'm Alex Pilgrim and with me, as always is Tony Almanti.

Almanti: The beautiful Tony Almanti, thank you very much.

Pilgrim: In case you haven't heard, The Road to Spring Breakage leads to a main event showdown between Flying Diamond Cutter Man and the boss man, Tito Capaci. It's going to be a very anticipated match. Tony, any thoughts on it yet?

Almanti: I've been thinking about this match since it was announced. These two men are even through three matches. That's right. One win a piece. One loss a piece and they fought to a draw. This match is going to be huge.

Pilgrim: In addition to that we have Flap Flanagan versus Reck Maverick in a blood feud between half brothers and then of course there is Kalius Holmes vs. Rich Morrison in a grudge match between absolute legends.

Almanti: There is no doubt about it, this card is huge. I love the transition Flap made last week, ready to step out of Reck's shadow. And Holmes vs. Morrison could go down as one of the greatest matches in the history of pro wrestling.

Pilgrim: And we haven't even started mentioning the unification titles. So much to talk about, so little time. In fact, it's time to start the show with the first match of the evening!

Dan Real is already in the ring when "Turn me on" by Kevin Little plays over the sound system as Brad Armstrong walks onto the stage. He runs over to the far left of the stage and claps above his head to the music. After this he runs and slides on his knees over to the right side of the stage and gyrates to the music.

Pilgrim: And here comes Brad Armstrong. Brad comes via a promotion out of the Southwest and he looks prepared for his POW debut.

Almanti: He was actually spotted by Jay T. Nitro, and it was Nitro that convinced Mr. Capaci to get the kid a contract. It's pretty high praise to get a personal recommendation from JTN, but all the same, this up and comer needs to prove it in the ring.

Brad Armstrong gets to his feet and runs down the stage claps the hands of the fans as he goes. Proceeding this he does a lap of the ring slapping the hands of the fans and starts to walk up the steps. He gets to the top step and jumps to the top rope; he then proceeds to do a corkscrew off the top rope and lands on his feet. Like a gentlemen he walks over and shakes the hand of the referee. As he does, Real comes in from the blindside and drills a right punch into Armstrong's ear, sending Armstrong down to the mat. Real starts to follow it up with some stomps to the midsection. Tanner Dutton quickly calls for the opening bell.

ding-ding

Brad Armstrong vs. Dan Real

Pilgrim: And you see the early intensity of Dan Real desperately trying to pick up his first win here in Power ON Wrestling!

Almanti: I call it as much a mistake of Armstrong. This is POW. There is no time for sportsmanship. That shaking hands with the referees is Bush League stuff.

Pilgrim: Or respectful.

Almanti: Or Bush League.

Dan Real stomps away but Armstrong rolls out of the ring. Real goes after him and follows him after one turn around the ring corner on the outside. As he closes in, Armstrong whips back around fires four hard right hands to the left side of Real's face, driving him backward which each punch. He finally backs him all the way to the guardrail. Armstrong backs up a few steps and dropkicks Real in the stomach, wrenching Real's back against the guardrail. Real falls to his knees and gets drilled by a Enzuigiri to the back of the head sending Real all the way to the ground, flat on his stomach.

Pilgrim: And there's that talent and excitement Capaci was promised! The pace of this match has been extremely fast, just the way Armstrong likes it.

Almanti: He'll like it even more if he gets a three count.

Armstrong gets real to his feet and shoves him into the ring. Real slowly starts to get to his feet as Armstrong hops up on the apron, still on the outside of the ropes. Real turns around only to be leveled by a springboard cross body block from Armstrong which he continues down into a pin. Dutton is quick on the scene and starts the count!

KICKOUT BY REAL!

Pilgrim: And a near fall for Armstrong has this crowd pumped!

Almanti: He's a goody-goody little bastard, but I'll have to admit the guy can flat out fly around the ring.

Armstrong doesn't argue with the count and quickly gets Real back to his feet where he pops him in the cheek with a flying knee that sends Real to the mat. As soon as Armstrong lands he plants and vaults back into the air and nails a standing corkscrew moonsault!

Pilgrim: Oh my! That's a move he likes to call the Razzle Dazzle! And he dazzled many audiences around Arizona with that one!

Almanti: He can call it whatever he wants. I call it freakish!

Armstrong has already climbed to the top rope where he take a deep breath and waves in some cheer from the crowd. He takes a flying leap and hits his 450 splahs he calls the "Roughing it in Arizona." Dutton, back in position starts the count as Armstrong hooks the leg and pulls it waaaaaay back on Real!

Pilgrim: This should be it!

The crowd cheers loudly as Brad Armstrong hops up and pumps his fist. He shakes hands with Tanner Dutton once more and then pumps his fist to the crowd to the ovation of more cheers.

Pilgrim: It appears as if Mr. Armstrong has already gained a bit of a following.

Almanti: He's exactly the type of wrestler that today's MTV generation loves to see. He's fast. He takes the big risks from the top rope. He does everything quick. There's no down time. He's going to be great for people with short attention spans.

Pilgrim: He could just be plain great. To backstage!

[Tito Capaci]

The camera cuts backstage as we see Flap Flanagan preparing for his match against Nick Pickles with ALF.
Suddenly we hear the Atomic Ninja fanfare and Flap looks around confused as ALF darts for the corner. He turns around and comes
face to face with his half brother - Reck Maverick! Flap takes a couple steps back.

Flap Flanagan - What do you want Reck!

Reck slowly begins to draw his Blade of Legend.

Reck Maverick - Dude, you made a HUGE mistake last week when you crossed me. You know how our family
works brother. One crosses the other and the only way to set things right is to...

Flap cuts him off.

Flap Flanagan - I see where this is going, and you can just go and futt off!

Flap turns to leave and he is met by Lance Erickson and Big Ci - Reck's new buddies. Flap looks up at Erickson as
Lance lowers his sunglasses.

Lance Erickson - You better take two steps back... Because I got a set of knux with your name on them.

Big Ci - That's right Flanagan, you mess with one Horsemen, you mess with ALL of us.

Flap takes a nervous step back.

Reck Maverick - Hold up guys.

Flap spins around to look at his brother.

Reck Maverick - 3 on 1 is a little unfair, so I'll give you a free pass tonight Flapper. But here's the kicker... At SuperMania
III your going to be getting into the ring with ME brother... one on one. There - LIVE on Pay Per View - you will pay for your treason...

The Horsemen leave, but before Reck walks out he looks back at Flanagan.

Reck Maverick - Welcome to the next level... brother.

Reck leaves as Flap exchanges looks with ALF.

[Tito Capaci]

Almanti: Wow. Looks like Reck took the whole, helping out Josh Eagles thing a little hard.

Pilgrim: Reck is absolutely right, though. Reck and Josh have been feuding since....hell, probably since they were in the womb and Flap Flanagan, the half brother of Reck Maverick turned on his own brother!

Almanti: This is a nasty business, Alex. Sometimes you have to get your hands a little dirty.

Pilgrim: But there is no excuse for turning your back on family.

The baseline to “Eye of the Tiger” begins to play and the crowd erupt with a chorus of cheers as King Cobra makes his way out from the entrance curtain.

Pilgrim: But putting, Maverick and Flanagan to the side for a moment, now we have our next event!

Almanti: King Cobra will take on Mr. Showtime! Two of POW's most promised talent pits their skills against each other in a bid to state their claim for the POW Championship.

Cobra walks down the entrance ramp, high fiving the children and younger generation of fans.

Pilgrim: Cobra had a fantastic week before tonight, completely shutting Shadow down.

Almanti: But he has still yet to prove that he is with the main eventers.

Pilgrim: But this match will certainly help out his case.

Cobra rolls into the ring as his music is cut and the arena descends into darkness. “Cancer California” by Bullets & Octane hits the arena. Mr. Showtime strides out from the curtain and cockily makes his way down to the ring.

Almanti: He had a calm week, taking time off and now he's here fully prepared for his bout with Cobra!

Showtime slides into the ring and Cobra pounces, hammering him with both his arms. Manny Salazar quickly calls for the bell!

ding-ding

Mr. Showtime vs. King Cobra

The bell rings and the match is officially underway. Showtime gets up to his feet as Cobra continues to attack. He stops the assault and changes his tactics, grabbing Showtime's long hair and pulling towards the turnbuckle corner. Cobra pushes him into the turnbuckle pads and climbs onto the second rope. The crowd count as Cobra hammers right hands onto Showtime's face.

Showtime blocks the 6th attempt. He pushes Cobra off him and shakes the punches off. Cobra rolls backwards on back to his feet, racing back to continue the assault, leaping onto Showtime and hammering him again with right hands.

Pilgrim: King Cobra not letting Mr. Showtime get a moments rest here!

Showtime again pushes Cobra off, trying desperately to catch a break, but Cobra again rolls back to his feet and resumes his charge, as he leaps into the air to connect for a third time, Showtime ducks down, leaving Cobra no where to go apart from into the turnbuckle.

Almanti: A nice padded sandwich!

Showtime scrambles up to his feet and stalks Cobra as he holds his mouth. Showtime grabs Cobra's head and charges backwards, hitting a reverse bulldog. Cobra's face bounces off the mat as Showtime returns to his feet once again, storming towards the turnbuckle.

Pilgrim: Another corner attack.

Almanti: This match has been going for near on two minutes and they have yet to move out of that corner.

Pilgrim: It's all about strategy. Changing your ways of attack before your opponent can get the win.

Cobra is on his knees, still holding his face. Showtime launches off the turnbuckle, flying directly into Cobra's path. Cobra suddenly launches up, extending his legs and slamming his feet into Showtime's stomach. Both men collapse to the mat. Showtime gasps for air as Cobra is the first one to make motion, checking his face once more for blood before returning to the match.

Cobra grabs Showtime's leg and spins around, locking in a figure four. Showtime screams as Cobra tightens the hold, forcing all his body weight onto the legs. Showtime pulls his body up and quickly tries to reverse the painful hold by rolling onto his stomach, however, Cobra has it scouted and continues the momentum, rolling once again onto their backs. The referee is close by as Showtime returns to crying in pain.

Almanti: That didn't work!

As the referee's back was turned from Cobra, he used this chance to grab the ropes and pull his body up, further wrenching Showtime's legs. Showtime slammed his hands on the mat and pulls the referee close in, informing him with four letter words what Cobra was up to. The referee turned his attention to Cobra who released the hold and pretended he was doing nothing. Once Cobra was out of eye contact, he again grabbed the ropes.

Pilgrim: Cobra using the ropes to cheat his way to a submission.

Almanti: It doesn't matter how you win. Winnings winning.

The referee snaps his head back and sees Cobra letting go of the ropes, caught as he was trying not to cheat. He demands Cobra release the hold, which he begrudgingly does. Showtime crawls back away from the ropes as Cobra eyes the referee, passing him with a sense of control and aggression. He goes to pick Showtime up again but Showtime catches him off guard and goes for a rollup.

Cobra kicks out. Showtime cannot get to his feet quick enough due to the damage and Cobra uses his body as a missile, driving the shoulder into Showtime's chest and sending both of them tumbling down.

Almanti: Cobra is in total control.

Cobra is now going for a cover of his own.

1...

2...

Showtime kicked out. Cobra pulls Showtime to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckle corner. He flips some of the fans off before walking over to Showtime. Showtime grabs he ropes and flings his legs upwards, kicking Cobra in the chest. Cobra continues to attempt an attack and is again hit by Showtime's feet. A third time is attempted but Cobra catches a leg, mocking Showtime. He pulls Showtime into the center of the ring and hopes for a dragon screw but Showtime leaps up and hooks the free leg around Cobra's neck, yanking him down with a hurricanrana.

Pilgrim: Showtime now gets some offense in!

Almanti: Cobra was too cocky. He should have got the job done when he had the chance.

Showtime rubs his wrenched leg in a vain attempt to try and heal it before he tries to make some momentum. He gets back up and limps gently to Cobra's head, leaping into the air and dropping a leg drop on his opponent. It hurts Showtime but he somehow forces some strength to get up and leap onto Cobra again, completing the double leg drop.

Almanti: Cover!

1...

2...

Cobra kicks out again. Showtime, concerned and frustrated about how his injured leg hobbles upwards, obviously the leg drop attack irritated him. Cobra isn't moving. Showtime has to think of something quickly, and races to the ropes.

Almanti: What the hell is he thinking of doing here?

Using the ropes as a springboard, Showtime catapaults himself off, flipping his body over and into Cobra's well prepared knees. Showtime rolls right off, gasping for air as Cobra sits up, smiling as his choking opponent.

Pilgrim: The King isn't down yet!

Cobra pulls Showtime up and hooks the arm over his neck. He pulls on Showtime's wrestling attire and flips him over, hitting a suplex. He moves the hips and manages to retain the hold, pulling Showtime up with him and hitting another. Cobra's energy is taking it's toll as it takes longer to get up for the third one, but with one almighty pull, he manages to pull it off.

Pilgrim: The Three Amigos!

Almanti: A tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero!

Pilgrim: He was a true legend wasn't he?

Almanti: Too bad the WWE completely raped his legacy from it.

Cobra's on fire, the crowd clapping as he kneels beside the fallen Showtime, flexing his muscles and mocking his adversary. Showtime isn't responding. He looks out of gas. Cobra sees that the match is his and moves to the turnbuckle.

Almanti: AGAIN with the turnbuckle!

Pilgrim: It's like their second home tonight!

Cobra climbs up, standing back faced to Showtime, he takes his time to point to the fans, informing them that Showtime will indeed be destroyed by this next move. He jumps up in the air, pushing his legs out in a sit-down position. As he drops, the legs work as momentum, flipping Cobra 360 degrees to Showtime... who has rolled!

Pilgrim: Nowhere to go!

Cobra lands hard on his ass, the pain too much to take sitting still. Showtime jumps up and stalks Cobra, who has also gotten up. He turns to face Showtime, who slams his foot right into his face!

Almanti: THE SEASON ENDER!

Both men collapse. The energy of the high risk moves have taken a terrible toll on their stomachs and lungs. Showtime crawls over to Cobra. The crowd cheering them on.

Crowd: This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome!

Almanti: Go for it, Showtime!

Pilgrim: He's taking too long!

Showtime pulls his uncooperative body towards Cobra, extending his closest arm out to try and cover. He flops it onto Cobra's chest and the referee slides into to register the pin.

1...

2...

Salazar stops the count and points to Cobra's foot which is has found the ropes! The crowd cheers as Showtime gets to his knees and takes deep breaths, resting with his head down and his hands on his thighs. He's too tired to get upset with it.

Pilgrim: And the passion and the sweat and the energy has taken it's toll on both of these great competitors!

Almanti: I almost hate that someone has to lose this match. They've both worked their asses off to get this win. What? I said I almost hate it. I don't.....just almost.

Showtime pumps himself back up and stands to his feet he pulls up Cobra and whips him into the corner. Showtime gets his running start and leaps for a huge splash, but Cobra manages to step to the side. Showtime's chest collides with the top turnbuckle and the impact knocks the air out of Showtime who now has trouble breathing. Cobra, being alert drops down for the pin!

KICKOUT!!!!!

Pilgrim: Wow! I thought he was too far gone for a kickout there!

Almanti: Both of these guys are riding hot streaks right now and neither wants to lose!

Cobra gets to his feet and takes a deep breath. The crowd starts to boo as two men start to walk down the entranceway. It's Nick Pickles and Bubba.

Pilgrim: Damn it! Nick Pickles has no business sticking his nose in this match!

Almanti: I guess the hell he does! He has a date with King Cobra and Kaleb Shadix that will determine the POW representative in the TV Title unification match!

Pilgrim: But that ain't now!

Cobra's attention immediately goes to Pickles and Bubba and he makes his way to the ring ropes and sits on one and lifts up the other, inviting Pickles to come in for a beating. Pickles stands on the floor yelling insults at Cobra from below. Meanwhile, Bubba circles around to the side and hops up on the ring apron.


Pilgrim: Here we go. This was a match for the ages and now it's gone to hell!

Almanti: Speak for yourself, it just got interesting.

Cobra sees Bubba on the apron out of the corner of his eye and points at him to show he knows his location in the ring. He starts barking insults and challenges at Nick who continues to yell at Cobra from the floor. Bubba puts one leg inside the ropes and Cobra flashes over to him and hits a hard knee to the top of Bubba's head, sending Bubba flying off the apron. The crowd cheers, then gasps as Cobra turns around to see the big foot of Mr. Showtime catch him right in the chin.

Pilgrim: The Season Ender! Come on!

Almanti: Pickles and Showtime.....haha, they hate each other but what a team!

Showtime drops down on the chest of Cobra and winks at the camera as Salazar drops down for the count!

The crowd boos as Mr. Showtime stands up and drops to his knees and flexes his muscles. Showtime stands back up and starts climbs out of the ring. He starts to walk up the ramp but passes Nick in the process. He stops and Showtime and Pickles have a long stare at each other. Showtime nods at Pickles and Pickles smirks and looks back at the ring where Cobra has finally gotten to his feet. Pickles smiles and starts backing up the ramp himself.

Pilgrim: I have to take issue with this match ended.

Almanti: Bubba never struck Cobra. Pickles never struck Cobra. This is nothing but excuses from you, Alex. I don't want excuses. Mr. Capaci doesn't want excuses. We want results, damn it!

Pilgrim: Well I dare say that King Cobra will be doing anythign within his damn power to get those results!

[Tito Capaci]

Lights Camera Action by Mr. Cheeks blasts through the arena as Daye comes out and passes King Cobra on his way to the stage. He and Cobra exchange glares all the way down the ramp. Daye makes his way onto the stage and kneels down with a hoodie on. After a few seconds Daye rises up and takes the hood off and makes a pose with both hands in a l position like a camera. Daye then makes his way down the ramp trash talking on his way to the ring.

Pilgrim: Well here comes a member of Murderous Entertainment Daye.

Almanti: You forgot to mention the real “God’s Gift to Wrestling”.

Daye grabs a microphone and waits for the fans to calm down before speaking.

Pilgrim: Well rumors have been flying around all week about Daye’s big announcement.

Almanti: Well if you shut up he can tell us.

Daye: I am sure all of you watching at home, the ones in attendance, and the locker room are dying to know about my announcement. Well I went to my main man Tito and I asked him if Night and I are involved in SuperMaina III. After finding out we weren’t I pitched him an idea and he gave me the go. So with that being said Night and I are looking for any tag team on the POW Midwest or New England roster to step up and see if they can defeat two of the most dangerous men in Murderous Entertainment.

Pilgrim: Wow an open challenge to both brands.

Almanti: He isn’t done yet Pilgrim.

Daye: I am not talking about an old an old fashion tag team match. I am talking about a dual ring steel cage match with weapons surrounding the inside of the cage. Nowhere to run or hide the only way to win is if both members are pinned or if they give up. Can anyone step up to the Murderous challenge?

Daye tosses the microphone down and exit’s the ring as his theme music hits.

Pilgrim: A dual ring steel cage with weapons surrounding the inside of the cage. That is a career ending match.

Almanti: An elimination style match, I wonder who will accept the challenge.

Pilgrim: Only time will tell. But the time is for some commercials. But keep it locked right here!

[Tito Capaci]

[Tito Capaci]

"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.

Pilgrim: And here comes Josh Eagles. It seems the fans aren't sure what to think of Josh's new attitude just yet.

Almanti: His new attitude is too positive. Remember when he was a total asshole? He was winning!

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: His opponent is a guy that seems to be tough as nails.

Almanti: Josh Eagles and Brian Lee are both guys that nobody wants to see on the other end of a card, I assure you.

"True Self" by Soil begins to play. Brian Lee walks out with his dripping wet hair covering his face. He walks a somewhat steady pace to the ring never bothering to look around at the fans. When he approaches the ring apron he stops and tilts his head down for a few seconds. He then slams his fist down twice on the apron and the roll in underneath the ropes. He stands up and and goes to a corner. He then throws his hair back out of his face and kneels down in fashion like he's ready to run at and attack his opponent. Tanner Dutton checks to make sure both men are ready and calls for the bell!

ding-ding

Brian Lee vs. Josh Eagles


At the bell, both me lock horns and fight for an advantage. Lee breaks the tie-up and rakes the eyes of Josh Eagles. Eagles stumbles away and the referee scolds Lee. Eagles takes advantage of this distraction, delivering a running forearm to the back of the head. Lee stumbles foward, but holds his balance on the ropes. Eagles comes running for a clothsline, but Lee delivers a boot to the gut. Eagles hunches foward, holding his abdomen.

Pilgrim: And Lee is able to gain the early advantage.

Al;manti: It's who has the advantage when the referee makes the 3 count that matters though, Alex.

Lee grabs hold of his opponent and pulls him over to the ropes. He begins choking Eagles on the top rope! The referee counts and Lee lets up just long enough for Eagles to shove an open hand in his face, then fire off a snapemare. Lee gets to his feet, and gets caught with a dropkick to the knee. Lee sinks down to the mat, cradling his wounded limb. Eagles drops an elbow before lifting Lee to his feet. Snap Suplex! Lee starts struggling to his feet, only to be met with hard scoop slam. Eagles climbs to the top rope and waits for Lee to get to his feet. Missile Dropkick - but no! Lee went diving out of the way. Eagles lands flat and pops back up, clutching his gut for air.

Pilgrim: Looks like Eagles got the wind knocked right out of him.
Almanti: Too bad that never happens to you.

Lee takes advantage of this- Go To Hell! Eagles falls to his knees, clutching his chest. Lee rears back and lands a wild haymaker to the head, the crowd pops as Eagles falls to his side. Lee makes the cover, hooking the leg.

Eagles kicks out with great effort. Lee, undaunted, raises him to his feet. Lee fires off a short-arm lariot, sending Eagles twisting through the air and back to the mat, face down. Lee follows up with a fist drop before ascending the ropes himself. Eagles is quick to his feet, however. He follows close behind. He follows Lee to the top rope - Super Eagles Wings! Eagles makes the cover.

Pilgrim: This could be it!

Dutton drops down to the mat for the pinfall, but as he starts to bring his arm down, he suddenly starts getting dragged out of the ring! The crowd stands up, trying ot see who pulled the referee out of the ring.

Pilgrim: What? Who is interfering here?

The camera zooms in and sees that Mike McManus, the manager is the man responsible for pulling the referee out of the ring.

Pilgrim: Why is McManus helping Lee? Lee didn't sign with McManus did he?

Almanti: No telling. With instant communications, I suppose it's possible.

As Dutton continues to argue with McManus on the outside, another figure slides in the back way. Eagles is hanging over the rope to get the referee's attention, but doesn't see the ominous figure standing right behind him. The crowd starts to cheer loudly, wondering what this famous McManus client is up to.

Pilgrim: Oh my God! It's Hannibal from the UWC!

Almanti: Hell yes! This just got interesting!

Eagles turns around just in time to see nothing but body as Hannibal lands his Cutting Edge version of the spear. Eagles goes down with a heap. Hannibal slides the body over the top of Josh and lumbers out of the ring. McManus just walks away, allowing Dutton to get back in the ring. He slides in to see a Lee pinning Eagles, the exact oppoiste of how it was when he left. He doesn't ask questions and starts the 3 count!

Pilgrim: And Brian Lee has just beaten Josh Eagles, the megastar!

Almanti: Eagles has to get that attitude back! He doesn't have the intensity he had during his title runs!

McManus slides into the ring and takes the microphone. The crowd boos, but McManus brushes them off and waits for them to quieten down a bit.

Mike M: Everybody knows that this man, Hannibal, was the fastest rising star on the global wrestling scene. The purchasing of the UWC by POW threw a wrinkle in Hannibal's plans as he's bigger and better than Kansas City.

This of course gets a huge boo from the KC faithful.

Mike M: Hannibal had to make a statement tonight. He had to make an impact. And he made an impact in Josh Eagles. Josh, you're the "current" UWL Heavyweight Champ? Hannibal wants your ass in the ring at SuperMania. Don't bring you're inferior titles. Just bring your ass and a lunch.

“Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll” by Saliva starts to play over the PA system as Hannibal extends his arms to the sky and laughs at the boos coming in. He and his manager, Mike McManus start their way to the backstage area.

Pilgrim: Mike McManus said that Hannibal needed to make a big statement right out of the gate, and that's exactly what he did, Tony.

Almanti: I've had the pleasure of watching Hannibal wrestle on several occasions. He is the real deal. He's a future POW heavyweight champion if Capaci can keep McManus from breaking the bank when free agency rolls around.

[Tito Capaci]

The cameras cut to backstage where Brad Armstrong is walking down the hall. A few of the POW backstage employees are congratulating the new guy on his debut win. He starts to turn down a hall, but is stopped dead in his tracks by another man. The camera wheels around to show it's Jay T. Nitro. You can hear erupt even from backstage, as evident from the crowd noise from the camera.

JTN: Brad, congrats, man. You did great. Dan Real isn't exactly top quality but he isn't chop liver either.

Armstrong: Thanks, Jay. I mean, with the quick training sessions we've had and folks like you really taking me in and taking me under your wing has been huge for me.

JTN: Hey, I'm always watching out for guys that can beat me one day. I like to have them on my team.

Armstrong: (laughing with JTN) Yeah, yeah. One day, I'll get you. I'm just pumped about being here for now though. The talent in this place is amazing. Winning a belt here is serious accomplishment. I can't wait.

JTN: Whoa, fella. You're good. You're damn good. I won't even go so far as to say you can't win a major belt here in POW. But what I'm going to say is, you need to stay grounded. That's Shawn's biggest problem. He gets his head in the clouds, starts thinking about how great he is....then he has a let down and gets beat by someone he shouldn't.

Armstrong: Sure, sure. I can stay grounded. I've idolized you growing up and you're one of the most confident guys in the business.

JTN: What you see in that ring isn't really an act. I know I should beat everybody I face. If you don't feel that way, you've already lost. I might play it up a little bit, talk a little bit more trash, sound a bit more cocky than I really feel sometimes because it helps sells tickets. There's nothing like a good sound bite to put rear ends in the seats. And if you're selling tickets, you're keeping a job. Understand?

Armstrong: Got it.

JTN: But enough pointers and advice for one night. Let's go celebrate. We got some non-alchoholic stuff in the hotel room for the party for your not-of-age-butt.

Armstrong: (laughing with JTN) Just for me?

JTN: No, Jason Lee is going to be there too. He's a little wet behind the ears too. I like you guys and will take some risks, but I'll be damned if I go to jail for aiding to the deliquency of a minor. (they start laughing). Come on, let's go.

[Tito Capaci]

"Money" by Pink Floyd begins to play throughout the arena as Nick Pickles and Bubba step to the of the ramp. The crowd boos the rich snob, but he reacts with laughs at the peons who he believes are just meaningless, jealous bastards.

Pilgrim: We've already seen Nick Pickles and Bubba tonight. I wonder if King Cobra is going to make an appearance.

Almanti: Not if he's smart. Nick has Bubba for a reason, you know.

Nick makes his way down to the ring and is smiling until Bad to the Bone begins to play over the PA. Flap and Alf walk out of the entrance with a cooler of Dr. Pepper. The crowd is booing Flap after he pulled last week, but Flap doesn't show much of an interest in their feelings.

Pilgrim: And here comes the biggest traitor of the day in my opinoin.

Almanti: Look, the guy made a business decision. He just earned himself a high profile match on one of wrestling's biggest stages. This was a matter of economical genius!

Flap and Alf set the cooler down outside the ring and Flap jumps up on the apron. He slowly climbs between the ropes, keeping an eye on both Pickles and Bubba.

The camera focuses in on the ring. Both Nick Pickles and Flap Flanagan are in the ring staring each other down. Bubba stands at ring side also staring at Flap.

Pilgrim: This could be a very interesting match up. They are all ready to tear each other apart and Bubba’s not even really in the match.

Almanti: Yeah lets just see what happens. Its still anyones game. The bell hasn’t even rung. One thing is for sure. This wouldn't be a fair two vs. two fight. I like Alf and all, but I think Bubba would kick his ass.

Tom McElvoy is ready for the match to begin and calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

Nick Pickles VS Flap Flanagan

The bell rings and Flap takes advantage of the situation by attacking Nick with a quick clothesline knocking Nick to the matt. He follows up with a stomp to the face. He goes for a second stomp but Nick grabs his leg and pulls him down to the matt for a cover.

1..

Kickout

Pilgrim: And Flap Flanagan trying to get a quick surprise pin!

Almanti: Should have gone for the rollup of DOOOOOM!!!! That one never fails.

Both men get back up and lock up. Flap hits Nick in the gut with several blows. Nick backs off holding his waist. Flap attacks Nick into the corner. Flap hopes up on the bottom rope and begins to pound on Nicks head. The crowd begins to count.

Nick pushes Flap away and Flap lands hard on the matt. Nick starts to climb the turnbuckle, Flap jumps to his feet and pulls Nick backwards onto the matt and begins to attack him with many quick stomps to the face. The referee warns Flap and being caught up in the moment argues with the ref. Nick being a veteran of the ring attacks Flap with a spinebuster. He follows up with a leg drop to Flaps body. Nick then covers Flap.

2..

Kickout

Pilgrim: And Pickles is not happy with that count! A damn close near fall for the pickle guy.

Almanti: I'm a little surprised that one didn't get it done. I'm starting to think McElvoy counts to too slow. He gets lost after two.

Nick gets up in disbelief. He pulls Flap up and goes to hit in the chest, but Flap moves and hits Nick with a DDT. Both men continue exchanging blows. Nick manages to toss Flap out of the ring knowing Bubba will take care of him. Nick picks a fight with the ref so that he does not see anything. Bubba takes the case of Dr. Pepper that Flap brought to the ring and smashes it into Flaps head. The Dr. Pepper spews everywhere and Flap begins to bleed. Bubba picks up Flap and tosses him back into the ring. Nick quickly covers Flap.

3!!!!!

Pilgrim: And winner of the match is Nick Pickles, but he had to use a Dr. Pepper can to finish him off.

Almanti: He didn't have to, he CHOSE to. Note the difference. I'm telling you now, Nick Pickles is pumped and ready to win that TV title! I'm predicting it now!

The crowd immediately starts to cheer as King Cobra busts through the crowd and comes in from the backside with a crow bar. He drives the back of the crowbar into the back of Bubba, sending him to his knees. Pickles turns around, but it's too late. Cobra takes the crowbar into the stomach of Pickles and then, while he's doubled over, takes it over the back of Nick to drop him on the ground. The crowd cheers as Cobra drops the crowbar and picks up a microphone.

Cobra: Listen to me, Nicky. You may think I've only got my mind on Shadix, but you my friend, are sadly mistaken. But I want you to know that you have to be concerned with more than Shadix too. You can cost me a match here. You can cost me a match there. But you can damn well bet that at SuperMania III you won't be the POW representative to take on Jay T. Nitro in the TV title unification match. That honor is going to befall on me. Just like this elbow is going to befall on you.

Cobra drops the microphone and hits a hard elbow drop on the head of Pickles. Cobra gets up amongst cheers and stares at the hurting bodies of Nick Pickles and Bubba.

As the show comes back from commercial, both Lance Erikson and Lestat are already in the ring. Benny Lawson is checking both wrestlers for hidden weapons and taking the time to explain the seriousness of following the rules.

Pilgrim: Welcome back to Power On Wrestling. We're about to jump right into a huge match between Lance Erikson and the trainer turned bodyguard known as Lestat. Tony, this could be an amazing match.

Almanti: There is power in numbers and Lance's mean streak makes him an almost unbeatable opponent right now. But, I will say this: Lestat is pretty much a badass. He stole Mr. Showtime's girl so he has to be packing it where packing it is big time...know what I mean?

Pilgrim: I would like to remind you that this is a family show.

Almanti: What? I just said he was packing it where it counts! How the hell do you think families get started?

Pilgrim: We really need Mr. Lawson to call for that opening bell.

Right on cue, Lawson points to the bell-man to get the match underway!

ding-ding

Lance Erikson vs. Lestat

As the bell sounds, Lance wastes no time faking to go in for a tie-up, but instead dropkicking Lestat down to the mat. Lestat is quick to rise and Lance goes for another, but Lestat steps back and Lance lands on his back. Lestat then rushes in for an elbow drop, but Lance rolls out of the way. Both men then hit their feet and stare down.

AP: Neither man has a big advantage right now
TA: Yeah, pretty even.

Lance charges in and Lestat fires away with rights and lefts. Lestat bounces Lance off the ropes, but Lance comes back with a flying forearm. Lance pops up and gets on the second turnbuckle on the inside and leaps off with a knee drop to the face. He makes a cover............



1........




2...........







KICKOUT BY LESTAT!!!!!!!!

AP: I dont know how that dont do permanent facial damage.
TA: Like he aint ugly enough?
AP: Now is that necessary?

At this point, Lance is going to pick Lestat up but see's Mr.Showtime coming down the ramp. Showtime just says relax as he hits the announce table.

AP: Whats this?
Showtime: Just came out to check on my old friend Lestat
TA: Yeah, let him be

Lance focuses back on the match, but Lestat fires shots to the midsection and then hooks Lance up and plants him with a snap suplex. As Lance is down, Lestat hooks him in a camel clutch as Lance winces in pain and reaches for the rope. The ref asks Lance if he gives up, but he does not.

Showtime: Look at this, the goon Lestat is showing some skill
AP: Goon?
Showtime: Yeah, all he does is stalk around Fire.
TA: I know, what a loser

Lance, with all his strength lifts Lestat up on his back and runs him into the post! Lestat breaks the hold now and stumbles out into Lance with a belly to belly suplex. Lance measures Lestat as he gets up, then charges, but Lestat catches Lance with a spinning heel kick!

Showtime: Haha, look...how stupid to not see that coming from this goon. Lance is just as bad
AP: Pretty cocky out here?
Showtime: Perhaps....just venting my feelings out here with Lestat
TA: I love venting on this douche beside me

Lestat looks at Showtime as Showtime just smirks. Lestat flips him off and awaits for Lance to get up. This is when Showtime tosses his headset and runs in the ring. Lestat catches him and the two exchanges punches as the ref calls for the bell!

AP: What the hell with Showtime!?
TA: He's doing what a man should do in this situation

Huff: Your winner by Disqualification.....Lestat!

As Showtime gets the better of Lestat, he kicks him in the face, sending him over the top rope. But then, Lance whips Showtime around angrily and yells at him about the DQ.

TA: Whats he yelling about!?
AP: Showtime cost him the match you moron!

Lance pushes Showtime on the chest as Showtime just tells him to relax. After a second push, Showtime seems put-out now. After the third push and slap. Showtime just checks his jaw, and the out of nowhere....gives Lance a "Season Ender"!

AP: Oh man!
TA: Haha, what a shot!

Showtime just leaves the ring and walks up the ramp as the fans give him a sorta mixed reaction. He feels justified in self defense and teaching Lestat a lesson.

The lights dim down as a video promo begins to play for the newly founded Kalius Holmes vs. Rich Morrison feud that has now come to light in POW. It starts by showing images of both Holmes and Morrison in MPW together. Then it shows images of both Holmes in Morrison during their stints in the LWE. Finally, it shows video footage of Morrison taking the MPW belt and spraypainting LWE on it on the first ever LWE television program. The montage ends with Morrison holding the MPW belt high in the air with "LWE" spraypainted in black over it.

Pilgrim: There is a lot of bad blood between Kalius Holmes and Rich Morrison. It dates back to the feud between Legacy Wrestling Entertainment and More Power Wrestling. This match is going to be an all out war, Tony.

Almanti: It could be argued that other than FDCM vs. Capaci for the unified world title match, that Holmes vs. Morrison will be the most highly anticipated match of the night. These two men are absolute legends of the sport.

Pilgrim: And for the first time, anyone in the United States can see this match. So please! Call your local cable provider today and order SuperMania III: UNITED POWER! Morrison vs. Holmes is just one of the many great matches this event will host!

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. 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: There he is... The POW Midwestern TV Champion...

Almanti - No really? Thank you Captain Obvious!

Pilgrim - Shut up...

The lights go dim as the introduction to “YYZ” begins to play. As the guitar kicks in, red and gold lights flood the arena as a small army of scantily clad women appears from behind the curtain. Two of them roll out an impossibly long red carpet down the aisle. Because there is no pyro in POW, one woman stands on either side of the entryway holding up a small sparkler. FDCM now finally strolls through the curtain, basking in the imaginary glow of the crowd’s approval and what he clearly perceives to be a MASSIVE pyrotechnics display. He cockily adjusts his sunglasses and polishes the UWL world title belt, then puts an arm around each girl as they stroll down the red carpet together, both women still waving the sparklers around. As they reach the ringside area, FDCM walks alone up the steel stairs as the first two women who had been rolling out the carpet now hold open the ropes for him to step through. He spins in the center of the ring with three bright white spotlights focused entirely on him, while holding up the “Diamond Cutter” hand signal, then comes to a stop with his arms outstretched, welcoming what he imagines as the DEAFENING jeers of the crowd as his championship sparkles as bright as his ego.

Almanti - I don’t care WHAT the boys in Kentucky say - There is the REAL World’s Champion!

Pilgrim - Didn’t they crown a new champion?

Almanti - LIES!

Pilgrim - Right... let’s back to POW - Home of the TRUE superstars!

Both men are now in the ring. Richard Huff is standing in the center with the Microphone in hand.
Huff - Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall with no time limit. First to my left - from Cincinnati, Ohio. Weighing 240 pounds - he is the POW Midwestern Television Champion... KALEB SHADIX!

Shadix holds up the TV title to a round of boos then he hands the belt to referee Nathan McElvoy.

Huff - And his opponent - From Jersey City, New Jersey. Weighing in at 230 pounds - He is the REAL World’s Heavyweight Champion... Flying Diamond Cutter Man!

FDCM arrogantly holds up his Championship belt then reluctantly hands it to McElvoy. He takes the belts out of the ring and hands them to the timekeeper. He then slides back into the ring and checks the wrestlers for foreign objects. Surprisingly Kaleb checks out clean. He then checks FDCM... and finds 3 sets of brass knuckles, a steel chain, a chloroform-soaked ragged and a chicken leg.

McElvoy - What the hell is THIS! ALL OF IT!

FDCM - What are you going to do about it? I’m the CHAMP!

McElvoy shakes his head and dumps all the equipment out of the ring and calls for the opening bell.

ding-ding

FDCM vs. Kaleb Shadix (non-title)

Pilgrim - Ok here we go - Champion vs Champion!

FDCM and Kaleb circle each other, however FDCM looks like he is more concerned with one of his FDCG’s then the TV Champion. So Kaleb takes the opening with a solid shot to the mouth, followed by another! 3 shots! 4 shots! 5, 6, 7! FDCM is reeling as Kaleb leaps back and prepares one of his trademark running High Kicks!

Pilgrim - What’s this!

One of FDCM’s girls grabs him by the ankle and pulls him out of the ring.

Almanti - Clever evasion tactic by the World’s Champion!

Pilgrim - ‘Clever’ isn’t the word I would use but sure, let’s go with that.

FDCM stumbles around the outside of the ring trying to clear the cobwebs as McElvoy begins the legendary 10 count...

1

2...

3...

4...

FDCM tells the Ref to go to hell and that he going back to Jersey! He starts to walk up the ramp with his harem. Kaleb looks at FDCM and mouths some profanity, he then taps McElvoy on the shoulder and tells him that something is going on the other side of the building... and since it’s pro wrestling the ref goes and looks at the other side of the building as Kaleb slides out of the ring and grabs the STEEL CHAIN!

Pilgrim - Uh-oh... I think Shadix is going to induct FDCM into the CHAIN GANG!

Almanti - Alex... The was the single most idiotic thing you have EVER said.

Shadix charges up the aisle and dives over 6 or 7 Diamond Girls and cracks FDCM in the back of the head with the Steel Chain. He then wraps the chain around the throat of the World Champ and drags him back down aisle and throws him into the ring. Shadix then gets McElvoy’s attention then pins FDCM. McElvoy goes for the pin.

1...

KICKOUT!

Kaleb flips off the Ref and starts dropping some closed fists on FDCM - WHAM, WHAM, WHAM! Now Shadix lifts up the World Champ and starts driving knees into the chest of FDCM, 4 or 5 of those and he finishes with a knee to the jaw which rocks the Cutter Man into a stagger, Shadix bounds off the ropes to deliver a clothesline but FDCM ducks and counters with a teeth shattering Super Kick! FDCM covers Shadix

1...

Tw... KICK OUT!

FDCM starts throwing a fit screaming “I AM THE WORLD CHAMPION! YOU DO NOT KICK OUT FROM THE WORLD CHAMPION!” Then FDCM starts to choke the TV champion as McElvoy starts a count.

1... 2... 3... 4...

Cutter Man breaks the choke hold and picks up Shadix and nails three shots to the face and he goes for the Discus Punch... and Shadix ducks and FDCM is now spinning around like a Top of gaudy colours. Kaleb stops the spinning and nails a neckbreaker. He now lifts FDCM up and sets up a Pile driver - McElvoy warns Shadix not to use that move, but of course Shadix ignores him and lifts him up... Now one of the Diamond Girls justs up on the apron (which is something to see in those outfits) and starts throwing what appears to be POPCORN at the TV champion. Kaleb just drops FDCM and turns and looks at the Scantily-clad valet. He walks over and snatches the bag of popcorn from the Diamond Girl and punts into the crowd.

Almanti - HEY! She bought that popcorn with her prostitution money!

Pilgrim - How do you know she’s in that line of work?

Almanti - I um... er... Oh look at that!

FDCM catches Shadix from behind with a vintage back scratch attack... Shadix groans in pain then turns around a b*tch slaps FDCM, who falls on his ass. Shadix approaches FDCM but the World Champ catches him with a drop toe hold and goes into a STF. McElvoy checks for the submission as Shadix shouts some words that make the production crew glad they have a 6 second delay. Shadix grabs the bottom rope and in a rare move FDCM breaks clean... Now one of the Diamond Girls starts choking Shadix with... looks like her bra. She lets him go as FDCM drags him to the center of the ring and attempts a Figure Four, but Shadix kicks him off and FDCM crashes into McElvoy who gets KO’ed as the crowd all scream at once - REF BUMP!

Suddenly the Diamond Girls start pitching a crap load of Steel Chairs into the ring.

Pilgrim - Whoa! There’s gotta be 15-20 chairs in the ring now.

Almanti - This should be very interesting.

Pilgrim - Those chairs have NO PLACE in that ring.

Almanti - Screw amateur wrestling! They got WEAPONS!

Both Cutter and Shadix grab one of the numerous chair and start the classic ‘duel of the folding chairs’ as the clang the metal time and time again. Shadix ducks a swing from FDCM and kicks him in the stomach and drives the World Champion into a pile of chairs with a Spinning Suplex Bomb. Now a bunch of Diamond Girls climb into the ring and dog pile Shadix, eventually restraining the TV Champ’s arms and legs as Flying Diamond Cutter Man slowly climbs to his feet and grabs a steel chair and THWACK! He cracks Shadix in the skull with the chair. Now Cutter and his crew notice that McElvoy is starting to stir so he orders the Girls to get all those chairs out the ring - which the do with AMAZING SPEED.

Almanti - In the 38 years I have been in this profession, I have NEVER seen anything like what we just saw.

McElvoy comes to his sense to see FDCM pinning Shadix. He goes for the count.

1...

2...
Thre... KICKOUT!

FDCM’s jaw almost hits the mat... He starts stomping away at Shadix, dropping elbows, knees, hell even scratching and biting the TV Champion. FDCM picks Kaleb off the mat and attempts his Famous Diamond Cutter... But Shadix reverses it into a Reverse (No Pun Intended) DDT. And goes for the Pin.

1...

2...

KICKOUT!

Shadix curses, and picks up FDCM and Drives some Elbows into his face, further stunning him, he then takes a few steps back and signal for the High Kick... But AGAIN a Diamond Girl slides into the ring and stands between Kaleb Shadix and Flying Diamond Cutter Man... Shadix just roars and Drives the Diamond Girl with the High Kick! He then picks her up and lifts her in a military press and tosses her into the mass of other Diamond Girls outside the ring, knocking them all down.

Pilgrim - Maybe NOW we can get down to wrestling...

Shadix turns his attention back to FDCM and does a mock Diamond Cutter Signal then...

WHAM! Replicator Diamond Cutter! But FDCM bounces right back up and starts running around the ring screaming like a mad man

Almanti - Alex, I’m scared! What’s the Champ doing?

Pilgrim - Not ordering Pizza, that’s for sure.

Almanti - I’m officially not talking to you anymore...

Pilgrim - Yay!

FDCM charges at Shadix... RUNNING DIAMOND CUTTER, but Shadix gets right back up! FDCM bounds off the ropes and hits a SOMERSAULT DIAMOND CUTTER... and AGAIN Shadix gets back up! FDCM ducks under a Shadix clothesline and a hits a SPIN DRIVE DIAMOND CUTTER...!

Pilgrim - I’m not believing this...

Almanti - Shadix is up AGAIN!

FDCM is right livid now. He gets one of his Diamond Girls to distract the ref as he nails Shadix with a vile low blow. He’s now calling another Diamond Girl to get into the ring and set up the FLYING DIAMOND DEVICE! FDCM climbs the turnbuckle as the girl tries to lift Shadix... she tries, tries again... she cannot lift him. Now Shadix grabs the Diamond Girl and whips her into FDCM who gets crotched on the turnbuckle... The Diamond girl is still planted face first in the corner... or in FDCM crotch - whatever you prefer.

Almanti - I don’t think The World Champ was expecting THAT until AFTER the match!

Shadix walks over and grabs the Diamond Girl by the back of the head and starts slams her head first into FDCM’s crotch! The fans generally don’t like Shadix but for once they chant along

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!

He then tosses her out the ring and a climbs the turnbuckle and set’s up FDCM for a Super Brain Buster... But somehow FDCM finds the testicular fortitude to push Shadix off onto the mat and flies through the air with his Flying Headbunt....

Pilgrim - Oh my... It’s looks like they are BOTH out!

Almanti: This is going to turn into a battle of wills!

As McElvoy begins to hold his arms to the air to start the double standing 10 count, the crowd stands to their feet as someone starts walking down the ramp. The fans erupt into a mixture of boos and cheers and even McElvoy fails to start the count as he looks toward the entrance ramp.

Pilgrim: What in the hell is the boss doing?

Almanti: One has to wonder if this has something to do with his unification match against FDCM at SuperMania.

Both men start to straggle to their feet as Capaci walks up the steel steps. McElvoy is a bit confused and feels a little uncomfortable telling his boss what to do. Capaci motions for McElvoy to take some steps toward him. Capaci takes his hand and acts as if he's going to cup the ear of McElvoy to aid his hearing over the screams, but instead hits a viscous elbow that knocks the POW official smooth out!

Pilgrim: Mr. Capaci! Come on, now!

Almanti: Watch the master at work!

Capaci immiediately walks over to FDCM and and hits a hard knee lift to the gut to the self-proclaimed "Real World Champion." Capaci puts him in a front face lock, lifts him up a vertical suplex and comes down hard for this Sicilian Silencer!

Pilgrim: Ok. This match needs to be thrown out.

Almanti: If Capaci wanted this match thrown out, he would have just flat interfered. He knocked the ref out for a reason!

By this time, Shadix has gotten to his feet and is laughing. The crowd is booing Capaci of course and Capaci holds out his hand for Shadix to shake. Shadix looks around and shakes the boss-man's hand. Capaci quickly turns the handshake into a short-armed clothesline, dropping Kaleb on his back. Capaci, makes quick work and gets Shadix to his feet and whips him to the rope. Shadix tries to leap with a shoulder tackle into Capaci, but Capaci actually catches Shadix in the air and sets him up for the Capaci Capper. He hits his Capper and Shadix lands square on FDCM! Tito drops down and is going to give the pin-count himself!

Pilgrim: What? Are you kidding me?


1......


Almanti: He's the owner, he can be anything he wants!



2........





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


Pilgrim: This is just not right, Alex. Even you have to admit this one!

Almanti: I don't know what to think. There are three guys in that ring that I really respect. I don't know what to do!

Capaci picks Shadix up and tosses him to the corner. He grabs FDCM by the hair and picks him up to his feet. Capaci turns around and is start lining up for a Diamond Cutter!

Pilgrim: And now we have Tito Capaci trying to add insult to injury by hitting Flying Diamond Cutter Man with FDCM's own move!

Almanti: What do you mean, "his move?" He doesn't own it.

Pilgrim: He actually does have it copyrighted.

Almanti: Whatever.

Capaci is about to drop the cutter on FDCM, but FDCM gives a hard push first, sending Capaci into the ropes. As he returns, FDCM is waiting and nails the returning Capaci with a Diamond Cutter of his own! The growd is in shock and not sure what to think.

Pilgrim: And I may get fired for this, but that serves Mr. Capaci right!

Almanti: You're a moron, Alex. He's the owner.

Pilgrim: I can't believe this. Folks, we STILL have a huge show left! The 4 Horsemen versus Murderous Entertainment is next!

The show fades to commercial with FDCM lining up his Flying Diamong Cutter girls around his arms.

[Tito Capaci]

[Tito Capaci]

Alex Pilgrim: Hey, Tony, do you ever hold grudges?

Tony Almanti: Yeah, I'm still pissed that you got the play by play spot and I didn't.

Alex Pilgrim: WHAT?? You're the funny one...

Tony Almanti starts laughing.

Alex Pilgrim: Ah, a joke. Well, we do have one hell of a grudge match coming up next! Let's go down to Richard Huff for los introductions!

Lights, Camera, Action by Mr. Cheeks kicks up over the P.A. and Daye comes out and onto the stage and kneels down with a hoodie on. After a few seconds Daye rises up and takes the hood off and makes a pose with both hands in a l position like a camera. Daye then then akes his way down the ramp trash talking on his way to the ring. The audience boos as Daye climbs into the ring and removes his hoodie.

Richard Huff: From The Big Apple, weighing in at 255 pounds, DAYE!

Are You Ready For Your Close Ups?
Lights, Camera, Action by Mr Cheeks kicks in on the speaker system as the lights go out. Blue lighting surrounds the entrance area as a hooded Night walks with his back turned to the crowd. His two hands in the air posing. He turns around lifting the hood over as the lights come on. He walks down to the ramp taunting some of the fans along the way before stepping over the ropes into the ring.

Richard Huff: Also from The Big Granny Smith! Weighing in at 327 pounds, NIGHT!

Alex Pilgrim: So we have Steven Spielberg and James Gandolfini in the ring.

Out Ta Get Me by Guns 'n' Roses blares over the PA and Big Ci comes flying out onto the stage while the audience goes wild. He jogs down to the ring, giving all the audience members within reach high-fives all the while laughing at his opponents. Big Ci stops short of the ring, not entering, waiting for his partner.

Richard Huff: And the first of their opponents! From Charlotte, North Carolina, home of the Hornets! Weighed in tonight at 295 pounds! BIG...CI!!!

The lights begin to alternate between dark blue and crimson red as "His World" begins to fill the arena...Over the music the sound of a flute can be heard... it's a familiar tune: The fanfare of the DragonZord!! Doooo - Do, Do - Do Di Doooo! 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 and Shredder helmet 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.

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 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 with Big Ci and flashes the Four Horsemen gesture as he waits for the contest to begin.

Richard Huff: And our final competitor! From San Jose, California...weighing in at 220 pounds, RECK MAVERICK!!!!

Night and Daye vs. Reck Maverick and Big Ci

Nathan McElvoy calls for the bell to begin the match and Night and Big Ci exit the ring, leaving Reck Maverick looking around at the cheering crowd and waving while Daye looks at him with murder in his eyes. Reck Maverick jumps around, hyping the crowd up, getting them to their feet in a raucous applause. Finally, Daye snaps and charges at the little ninja who promptly ducks under a clothesline, falling back into a bridge. Daye turns around only to see Reck Maverick lifting his feet and flipping over and locking his legs around Daye's neck, pulling him over with a head scissors. Daye flips over to the mat, landing hard on his back. Reck Maverick, with a flying leap, Reck Maverick drops a knee into Daye's face. He hops back up to his feet, leaping up for another knee drop. This time, Daye rolls out of the way and gets back to his feet, holding onto his face. Reck Maverick hops back up to his feet and gets met by Daye grabbing onto his arm and whipping him into the ropes. Reck rebounds off the ropes and manages to slide under a boot from Daye and get back to his feet without losing momentum. Reck bounces off the opposite ropes while Daye had snuck over to tag in Night.

Alex Pilgrim: Reck was just starting to build up steam and Daye goes and tags in Night! Very smart move!

Tony Almanti: Either that or he didn't want to be on the recieving end of a NINJA KICK!!!

Night hoists his large body into the ring while Reck stops and looks up at the big man; then slowly backing toward Big Ci. Night smiles and starts laughing at Reck Maverick while he tags in Big Ci.

Alex Pilgrim: I don't think the ninja kick would've worked against this behemoth.

Ci gets into the ring and immediately locks up with Night. Quickly, Night takes the upper hand by winning out in a test of strength, bending Ci back, torquing his arms and wrists. Ci finally manages to fight back, getting to his feet and slipping out of the test of strength, getting around behind Night and locking his arms around his midsection. Night, seeing what's coming, backs Ci up into the corner, crushing him. Night, free of the hold leans forward and then starts delivering elbows to Big Ci. After three shots, Ci manages to block a shot and pull Night into the corner, swapping places with him. Ci bends Night forward and delivers a couple of European uppercuts to him. Ci grabs hold of Night's arm and pulls him out of the corner, whipping him into the ropes. Before Night rebounds, he grabs onto the ropes, stopping his bulldozing. Night gets himself off the ropes and moves to Ci while putting Ci in his camera close-up frame. Ci smirks and throws a right hand to Night who blocks it and lifts Ci up into a scoop slam position. Night yells out as he falls back, trying to hit Ci with his fall-away slam, but Ci holds onto Night tightly, not going over with the slam. Instead, he falls down on top of Night while Tanner Dutton drops down to count the pin.

1...

KICKOUT!

Ci gets back to his feet while Night rises, dusting himself off. Night goes for another lock up, but Ci, being too quick for him, gets around behind him, locking in a half nelson. Ci pulls Night up and over, crushing him to the mat with a half nelson suplex of sorts. Reck Maverick hangs over the ropes, begging for a tag and Ci looks around while Night is still down and gets a huge cheer from the audience. Ci shrugs and goes to tag in Reck Maverick. Reck Maverick hops up onto the top rope, waiting for Night to get back to his feet. As soon as Night is back up, Maverick flies off, curling off and hitting Night square in the chest, sending him back down to the mat. Reck gets back to his feet and starts playing to the crowd once again.

Alex Pilgrim: WHAT...in the BLUE HELL...was that?

Tony Almanti: HA! You could call it the "RECK-ing ball". I swear this guy pulls more things out of back pocket than...ANYBODY!

Alex Pilgrim: Well, he certainly is effective at taking big guys down to his size.

Night manages to get back to his feet while Reck is still playing to the cheering crowd. Night tries to hit Reck with a shot from behind, but using his ninja sensory powers, Reck slips out of the way, turning around. He screams out GIANT KILLER and leaps into the air. Night, knowing what's coming, slides his feet out of the way while Reck stomps the mat, showing it who's boss. Night wollops Reck with a clothesline, driving him into the mat, and then he proceeds to mount Reck and pound his mask into the mat. After a couple of shots, Tanner Dutton intervenes. Night shrugs him off and covers Reck.

TH..NO..KICKOUT!!

Reck Maverick manages to somehow get his shoulder up from the crushing weight of Night who starts to get angry. Night looks over at Daye who nods and then Night proceeds to try and peel Reck's mask off, exposing his face to the crowd. But Night only gets as far as Reck's mouth, because as soon as that's exposed, A dark, bubbly mist flies out of Reck's mouth, blinding Night. Tanner Dutton missed all of this as he was busy trying to keep Big Ci from entering the ring. Night falls off of Maverick and starts stumbling around the ring, blinded by the Diet Pepsi Mist. Big Ci relaxes for a moment as Maverick didn't need his help and Reck pulls himself to his feet.

Tony Almanti: PEPSI MIST! I haven't seen that before!

Alex Pilgrim: How do you know it's pepsi?

Tony Almanti: Come on, you know he was slamming an entire case earlier. Half his weight is from Diet Pepsi!

Night somehow finds his way over to Daye in the corner who tags himself in. Daye springboards off the top rope and sends Maverick down to the mat with a springboard dropkick. Daye drops a couple of standing elbows into Reck Maverick and then leaps up to the top rope. He leaps off, nailing Reck with his New York Hangover! He covers Reck for the pin.

BIG CI INTERFERES!

Tony Almanti: He just made a 295 pound statement as to why Daye isn't getting the pin!

Alex Pilgrim: With Night still seeing as well as a blind man, Daye is in a bad situation here!

Daye gets to his knees and quickly delivers a low blow to Big Ci, dropping the big man to his knees. As the referee runs to check on Big Ci, Day turns around and delivers an eye gouge to Reck and then follows up with another huge lowblow to Maverick. He grabs the referee's shirt and yanks him to the mat as he covers Maverick!

Night and Daye quickly roll out of the ring, leaving Reck and Big Ci slowly getting up inside the ring.

Pilgrim: This was a cheap win for Night and Daye, but it still goes down in the record books as a big one for them.

Almanti: After what happened last week, Murderous Entertainment needed a big win to save face after what happened to the hands of the Horsemen. For them to come back like this has to be a big emotional lift for them.

Pilgrim: I have a feeling this Murderous Entertainment vs. 4 Horsemen bickering isn't over yet.

Almanti: It's one of those things that will be determined in time. But you know what gets to determined now?

Pilgrim: I sure do. Everyone is wondering who the next inductee to the UWC Hall of Fame is going to be. I just happen to know, and it's a big one!

[Tito Capaci]

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 fifth inductee will be honored!

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




Voice Over: Jay T Nitro, no doubt one of the biggest legends in the wrestling world. He is the Ultimate fan favorite no matter what he does.

We see JTN interacting with the fans from various events. We also see him holding up numerous titles.

Bobby McManus: I'll tell you, i watched the guy perform in countless promotions and he always amazed me. He just had that IT factor. When he came to the big dance in UWC....was one of the best things to happen in the business.

Voice Over: Jay T Nitro was a big name in companies such as GWF, UWW and EWA. In fact, he got his start under the name of "Nuclear" Nick Nitro. He enjoyed a successful stint there....but would eventually create his own federation in GWF.

We see some shots of GWF, including Jay's feud with the CWF owner.

Bobby McManus: At least we never feuded (laughs). But GWF was definitly a nice expierence for Jay and wrestling friends.

Voice Over: Jay T Nitro would then find himself in UWW. He quickly won many titles, including the world title...but would come across his arch nemesis...Nick Pickles

Nick Pickles: He may be one of the best...but so am I and i hate him with a passion.

Voice Over: With a feud that made headlines worldwide, Nick and Jay lit up the wrestling world. Jay got the best of Nick in the end during the UWW stint. And would move on to a few other companies and territories like UWL before landing in the biggest of them all....UWC.

Greg Gold: Wow, nobody could speak for days...no doubt one of the biggest signings in history.

Voice Over: Jay took part with his friend Havok as WCW in the tag division. They would have a feud with The Wrecking Squad which would become one of the biggest feuds of that year.

Highlights of the feud include Simon Winters burning Jay T Nitro with his cigar, but JTN gets his payback after the SuperMania match. We see clips from the first SuperMania, inside the steel cage match.

Simon Winters: That jerk....this scar never healed. WCW were tough to conquer...thats for sure.

Voice Over: Jay won the tag titles, and the International title before coming upon his crown jewel that would cement himself in wrestling history.

We see the WarZone Royal Rumble 2006 clip as the final three came down to Jay T Nitro, Tito Capaci and Jason Dread. We also see how it ended with all three men going out at the same time.

Bobby McManus: The moment that happen, i could just see the vision ahead....i knew this would be big.

Voice Over: And this would lead to the main event at SuperMania, a four way dance with two titles on the line, including the UWC Heavyweight Title.

Tito pulls JTNs foot off the rope and lifts him up again. This time he eye gouges JTN then quickly climbs the turnbuckle to go for the Hitman Horror but JTN spins around and hits a Painkiller Superkick propping Tito on the top turnbuckle. JTN looks at the crowd as they explode knowing what is coming. JTN quickly runs to the apron and goes for the leap. He grabs Tito's head and nails the Nuclear Diamond Blast to perfection. JTN may have hurt himself in the process but he crawls back over and flips Tito over. 1..........2..........THREE! NO TITO NOW HAD HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE! JTN starts to celebrate then the ref shows him Tito's foot was on the ropes. JTN looks disappointed but knows he needs to capitalize. He pulls Tito to his feet and his a European Uppercut then grabs Tito and lifts him up. He nails the veritcal suplex to DDT otherwise known as the Sicilian Silencer.

Greg Gold: "JTN JUST USED TITO'S MOVE AGAINST HIM!"
Doc Williams: "THAT IS UNFAIR!"

JTN goes for the cover. 1.........2.........KICKOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JTN cannot believe it. Tito will not give up himself now. JTNs jaw dropped almost to the mat. He can't believe it. He is asking the ref how it wasn't three. While he is doing that Tito is getting up. Tito shakes off all the punishment and goes to JTN and locks him in the chickenwing then lifts him onto his back. Oh no could it be?! Tito hits the Meltdown on JTN now! JTN crumples onto the mat. Tito throws one arm over him. 1...........2..........KICKOUT!!!! Tito rolls over in agony. He can't believe it himself now. Both men have kicked out of numerous finishing manuvers. JTN manages to crawl to the ropes as Tito does the same. Both men are sweating and drained of energy. The match is nearing the 70 minute mark. They both will not give up for the other one. The title means more than anything. Tito rushes JTN but JTN ducks and whips him into the corner Tito lifts himself up but JTN catches it before running under and catches Tito on his shoulder. He drops him on the top rope for a snake eyes. Tito bounces off and JTN shoves him into the corner again once again propping him up on the turnbuckle. JTN climbs onto the apron and leaps off and grabs Titos head. NUCLEAR DIAMOND BLAST!!!! JTN rolls him over in the middle of the ring. 1.........2...................3 NO!!!!!!!!!!!! KICKOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JTN cannot believe it again. Two Nuclear Diamond Blasts and Tito kicked out. JTN looks at the turnbuckle he hops up and backflips off into the frog splash hitting the Flame Splash to perfection. He covers Tito and hooks both legs. 1...........2............3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JTN WINS!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowd:YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Greg Gold: "JTN HAS DONE IT! HE IS THE NEW UWC WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!"
Doc Williams: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Tito Capaci Eliminated by Jay T. Nitro giving JTN the World Heavyweight Championship @ 82:13

Johnny Hartside: "YOUR WINNER AND NEWWWWWWWW UNITED WRESTLING COMPANY WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.........JAY T. NITROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The entire Lincoln Financial Field is standing, cheering going crazy as fireworks light up the Philadelphia skyline.

JTN is handed the belt as balloons and confetti are shot and fall from the rafters. "Kobrakai" by Lost Prophets hits as he is handed the belt. JTN is starting to tear up as he realizes his final dream has come true. He climbs to his feet and raises the title high in the air. The crowd explodes. Tito Capaci starts to stir as JTN looks over at him then at the title belt. Tito looks over at JTN and shakes his head in his own disappointment. He rolls out of the ring as JTN poses in the turnbuckles. Tito makes his way up the ramp staring at JTN the whole time. He gets a sneer across his face believing he should have won. JTN looks over at Tito but then continues the celebration. Tito heads to the back.

Greg Gold: A surreal moment.....definitly a highlight moment for Jay T Nitro, the UWC and wrestling.

Voice Over: Jay would defend the title very well, and even after losing it...he added one more trump to his cards as he became the first UWC Grand Slam champion by winning the TV title

Jay: Hey, what can i say....im that good (laughs)

Voice Over: So no matter what, Jay T Nitro proved time and time again that he was the man. And with young brother Shawn Stevens to represent the family...Jay T Nitro's legacy will live on forever...which is why we are proud to induct him into the UWC Hall of Fame!

We see one more clip of Jay T Nitro holding up the UWC World Heavyweight Championship

Video Montage Over

Pilgrim: Congrats are definitely in order for Jay T. Nitro. He's been a huge start everywhere he's been and is definitely deserving of this honor.

Almanti: Honor? You worry to much about honor. It's all about the wins and losses.

Pilgrim: Not always, Tony. I tell ya this much. You want to stay tuned right here throughthe commercial break because we still have the highly anticipated tag match between Midnight Felon and Shawn Stevens.....NEXT!

[Tito Capaci]

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: Welcome back to "The Road to SuperMania III!" We are all lined up for our main event and this will hopefully settle a dispute between two guys that have been at each other's throat for months now.

Almanti: They represent the very best of Power On Wrestling Midwest as well. Shawn Stevens is the standard bearer right now. He's the Midwest Heavyweight Champion. Midnight Felon is the outspoken spokesmen of Murderous Entertainment and one half of the tag team champions. In short, these two guys bring it in big matches.

Pilgrim: And it doesn't get any bigger than a cage match right here in Kansas City in the Ameristar Casino's Star Pavilion! The crowd is absolutely electric!

The crowd really is going nuts as they see the cage being lowered into place. It just gets louder. Superstar by Saliva begins to blast over the P.A. as Felon slowly steps from behind the black curtain.

Pilgrim: And here comes Midnight Felon. Tony, this man has been out in front, causing hell for Power On Wrestling. Nobody in this company is more controversial than Midnight Felon, but he backs it up every single week.

Almanti: I would agree that he's the most controversial wrestler in this promotion. That's a tall statement when Rich Morrison is on the roster!

The intensity in the arena rises instantly as Felon walks with a purpose to the ring, some fans cheering some fans just cant stand the rawness that felon brings to professional wrestling. As he walks through the door of the cage and into the ring he seems to be all business, seemingly not even wanting to wait for the bell.

Pilgrim: Felon is all business tonight. This is the match he's been trying to get for weeks.

Almanti: Well he got it and it's our treat.

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.

Pilgrim: And the POW Midwest Heavyweight Champion arrives!

Almanti: For now. One has to wonder will be ready for Dave Hunter if he's concentrating on matches like this? These types of matches do more than just physical damage. These matches weight on the conscious too.

Pilgrim: I would have to agree with you, Tony. But I have to believe that he's the champion because he can deal with adversity.

Stevens lowers his arms and walks down the ramp. He makes his way to the ring. The fans still are hesitant to cheer him, but he is slightly earning their respect back. Benny Lawson quickly goes over the rules to each wrestler in their own corner as POW staff makes sure the door to the cage is locked and the cage frame itself is securely fastened around the ring. Lawson gets the "ok" and calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

Shawn Stevens vs. Midnight Felon (Cage Match, Non-Title)

The bell rings and Shawn Stevens immediately attacks, jumping the much larger Midnight Felon with punches. He drives Felon back a few steps, but Felon sends Stevens head over heels with a forearm smash. Stevens scrambles back up and nails Felon with a roaring elbow that sends the big man wobbling! He hits the ropes and comes back with a running forearm that sends Felon almost off balance, runs the ropes again – and Felon tosses Stevens into the side of the cage! Stevens hits the cage back first and falls down between the ropes and the wall of the cage. Felon begins driving punches into the head of Stevens, until Stevens’ legs give out and he’s hanging over the top rope facing the ring. Felon backs off and then charges Stevens, looking to squash him against the cage – Stevens ducks the clothesline and Felon rams his head into the cage! As Felon falls backwards holding his head, Stevens runs to the top rope and comes off with a flying calf kick that takes Felon down!

Pilgrim: And now both men showing some offense!

Almanti: This is already turning into a violent affair, Alex. Keep the camera's rolling, this match could be the match of the year. This much talent combined with this much resentment and hatred mixed together forms a big sweaty mixture of kickass!

Pulling the big man up by his ears (as Felon has no hair for him to use), Stevens then begins to take serious control of the match, dragging Felon to the cage wall and raking his face across the links! Felon’s blood has started to flow as he manages to fight through the pain and elbow Stevens, sending him over backwards. Stevens tries to get back to his feet quickly, but Felon turns on him with the Size 16!

Pilgrim: And the size and strength of Midnight Felon comes through in a big way!

Almanti: A lot can be said for those monkey types that can get up the cage fast, but if you can beat your opponent into submission, screw it! Beat him to a pulp and then climb up the cage.

Pilgrim: And it looks like that is exactly what Felon is going to try to do!

Felon begins looking to exit the cage, but it’s not quite enough punishment to keep Stevens down long enough for him to escape. Felon has tried climbing the corner turnbuckle to get started, but Stevens grabs his leg and pulls. Felon’s size may work for him in the fight, but it works against him as he tries to escape, and he hits his head on the turnbuckle as Stevens pulls him down. Stevens tries locking Felon up for the Silver Shot, Felon blocks with an elbow smash and tries to hook in the Lockdown, but Stevens catches the arm before the hold can be completed and moves behind Felon with a hammerlock. Bending Felon forward, Stevens runs him head first into the wall of the cage!

Now it’s Shawn Steven’s turn to try to escape the cage. He climbs the ropes and tries bouncing on the top rope for a boost – but Felon is tough, and now he’s angry as hell. Grabbing Stevens by the waist of his pants, he slings the much smaller man halfway across the ring! Pulling Stevens up by the hair, Felon LAUNCHES him into the side of the cage! The entire structure shakes, Stevens spins as he hits the mat, but doesn’t fall, because Felon still has him! Again Felon charges across the ring and launches Stevens into the cage again! This time Stevens is able to turn enough to take the impact on the shoulder rather than the head, but he still falls to the mat hurt. Felon has to pause to catch his breath and wipe some blood away from his eyes, meanwhile, Stevens is beginning to bleed as well.

Pilgrim: I don't know that anyone doubted this match would get bloody. And here we are, both men are starting to bleed out.

Almanti: It's a beautiful fight. It's absolutely beautiful.

As Stevens slowly begins to pull himself to his feet, a tired and panting Felon beckons him on. Stevens grabs onto Felon’s tights and tries to stand, Felon clubs him with a forearm. He sets Stevens up for the running powerbomb… Stevens is deadweighting and Felon doesn’t get him up. Readjusting his grip, Felon brings Stevens up – and Stevens jumped with the lift, rolling over Felon’s shoulders, and hitting the Painkiller to the back of Felon’s head! Felon falls to his hands and knees as Stevens heads to the cage.

Pilgrim: This could be the opening Stevens needed!

Almanti: Damn it, Felon! Get up! Get up!

The roar of the fans as Stevens begins climbing lets Felon know what’s going on, and he shakes off the superkick as best he can. Stevens has a good head start, though, and Felon isn’t going to be able to stand in the ring and throw him down, he has to climb after Stevens.

Pilgrim: Felon is up, but I just don't know if he has enough to catch Stevens who has a hell of a head start up the ramp!

Almanti: He never should have told Murdeous Entertainment to stay away!

Felon again uses the turnbuckle to get started on the climb, and then begins scaling the cage. Stevens is almost to where he can throw a leg over the top when Felon grabs his ankle! Stevens stomps with his free leg, knocking Felon’s grip loose, but knocking his own legs off the cage! The fans scream in suspense as Stevens hangs there for a bit before getting his feet back in the cage. Felon, standing on the top rope and using the cage for balance, moves sideways to get a better grip on Stevens. But it takes just long enough for Stevens to get one leg over the top! Felon now grabs Stevens, not around the ankle, but by the laces of his boot.

Pilgrim: Felon is doing everything imaginable to keep Stevens from escaping the cage!

Almanti: I can't watch! I can't watch!

Felon lacks the combined leverage and strength to pull Stevens off the cage with one arm, and he can’t let go with the other, or he’ll fall. Stevens can’t kick Felon off this time, because his leg’s on the wrong side of the cage. And now Felon begins to slowly climb, hanging onto Stevens. Stevens bangs Felon’s head into the side of the cage, Felon snarls and refuses to fall. But he has to let go his sure grip on Steven’s boot to get any higher.

Pilgrim: What a match! Neither of these men want to give up ground!

Almanti: This is a huge match. Not for titles or for fan presence but for pride, Alex. You couldn't possibly understand.

The two men trade attacks – Stevens trying to fight Felon off, Felon trying to keep Stevens from fighting back so he can escape. Stevens finally takes a risk. Letting go with his hands, he rams Felon’s head into the top of the cage! One… two… three times and Felon falls back! Stevens pulls his leg over the cage, takes two steps down, and falls out of the cage and down to the ringside mats!

Pilgrim: That's going to be it! Stevens is going to escape the cage!

Almanti: Son of a b...

Pilgrim: TONY! Family show!

Almanti: Yeah, yeah.

Stevens is holding his back with one arm, but raising the other in triumph as Felon, still near the top of the cage, glares down. He throws his other leg over the cage and slides down to the floor. Benny Lawson sees this his feet have made contact and declares Stevens the winner!

Pilgrim: What an amazing match! This could have been the match of the year.

Almanti: Except for the ending, I suppose so.

Pilgrim: We unfortunately are out of time, but I assure you, this doesn't end here and The Road to SuperMania will continue next week! Until then!

The show ends with Stevens grimacing as he walks by the cage with Felon slamming against the cage and pacing like a beast. This dance between Murderous Entertainment and Shawn Stevens doesn't seem to be over yet.

[Tito Capaci]
