Voice Over: "The Tradition began like most do, on an optimistic day three years ago. It spread like wild fire and has grown into an entity. This is where the best come to show the world what they can do. Championships are won, legends made...this is SuperMania!"
As that voice over winds down, the beat to "From Yesterday" begins to play as a video montage begins.
He's a stranger to some
And a vision to none
We see Flying Diamond Cutter Man holding up his UWL Championship
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one
Tito gets in the face of Flying Diamond Cutter Man, who slaps him
For a fortune he'd quit
But it's hard to admit
We see Shawn Stevens fending off Final Cut
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
We see Dave Hunter beat down Slayer as Mike orders him on
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
Wee see the Four Horsemen walking down the isle
From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
We see a bloody George Duke holding his Valor title
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
We see Bobby McManus pushing his son Mike
On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of sin
through the blood he can learn, see the life that it turn
We see Jester The Clown raking Shadow's eye's til he bleeds.
From council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent
We see Kalius Holmes and Rich Morrison brawling
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
We see Nick Pickles throwing money in the air and dancing.
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
We see Kaleb Shadix punching the face of an opponent
From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
We see the celebration of Eddie Buchalini holding up his Mid-Atlantic Title as confetti falls
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message
We see Mr.Showtime giving Lestat a Season Ender
He doesn't want to read the message
Doesn't want to read the message here
We see quick images of Vic Powers, Slayer and Baseball Furies coming down the isle
On his face is a map of the world
We see first Nick Pickles smashing a jar over Nitro's head, then a shot of Nitro giving him a Meltdown
From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
We see Duke and Ci going punch for punch
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
We see Hannibal and Eagles staring down with Mike in the background before brawling
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
We see Lance Erikson posing on the top ropes
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
We see the Wrecking Squad beating Murderous Intent with steel chairs
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message here
We see a flash of all the POW/UWC superstars in tonights show
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here
The the words come up SUPERMANIA III: United Powers

Gold and white pyro starts shooting all over the arena, lining the entry ramp, the ring, and the entrance area. The crowd is on their feet and giving it a loud cheer as SuperMania III is ready to begin!
Pilgrim: It's finally here! Power On Wrestling in conjunction with their new asset, the United Wrestling Company are ready to bring us SuperMania III: UNITED POWER! I'm your host Alex Pilgrim and with me as always is Tony Almanti.
Almanti: Biggest night of the year so far. Capaci says only Legendaria could be bigger, but I have to doubt that after looking at this card tonight. Hell, it even got me in a tuxedo, Alex.
Pilgrim: Legends dot this card like a leopard's spots. Jay T. Nitro. Nick Pickles. Kailus Holmes. Rich Morrison. Reck Maverick. George Duke. And then....
Almanti: And then we have the main event and few people can match the intensity and awesomeness that a Flying Diamond Cutter Man versus Tito Capaci match can bring and this time, the stakes are higher than they have ever been for the two of them!
Pilgrim: All the POW Midwest Titles and UWC titles are being unified here tonight, folks! Quit possibly the biggest, most important night in independent wrestling history! But first, we have to figure out who will be representing Power On Wrestling later tonight when the POW TV and UWC TV titles are going to be unified!
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: Shadix isn’t very welcomed by the fans in St. Louie.
Almanti: What does he care? When he has the gold, it won’t matter.
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 (Cheer/boo). He 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 the people to the crowd. After he slips through the second and third rope. He raises his arms and walks to 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.
Pilgrim: Showtime came here ready to win the gold.
Almanti: Well, he didn’t come here to lose, Pilgrim. My god, you are so stupid sometimes that it literally hurts.
Tanner Dutton takes a deep breath as this his is first SuperMania bout. He exhales and calls for the opening bell!
ding-ding
POW TV Championship Match
The bells rings and both men circle the ring. Showtime throws a few jabs, but Shadix easily avoids them. They continue to circle, waiting for each other to make the first move. Shadix fakes a punch and moves around behind a defensive Showtime. He lets loose with a blatant lowblow. Showtime goes down to his knees with a pained expression on his face. The referee moves Shadix into a corner to reprimand him.
Pilgrim: What a shameful way to start off the match!
Almanti: Hey, it’s all about pacing. That’s a quick and easy way to slow your opponent down. If all goes according to plan, Shadix will have to wrestle another match tonight! I think what he did is brilliant!
After the ref gives him a stern warning, Shadix moves over to Showtime, who is still kneeling. Shadix wraps an arm around his foe for a tight headlock. He pulls down a few times, really cranking the hold. Kaleb rears back his free hand and delivers a heavy punch to the face as he lets go of the hold. Showtime falls back to the mat. Shadix doesn’t give an inch of breathing room as he drops an elbow to the chest and follows up with by driving a series of knees into Showtime’s stomach. He pulls him by the hair to his feet and holds him in place as he repeats with more knees to the abdomen. He finishes up with a final knee to the face and lets Showtime drop to the mat. He makes the cover.
1!
2!
Showtime kicks out, but is very winded.
Pilgrim: I’ve got to hand it to Shadix. I don’t agree with his tactics, but he’s really using his head in this one. He’s slowing Showtime down while saving his own energy.
Almanti: That’s why he’s one of the best, Pilgrim.
Shadix brings Showtime back to his feet and whips him into the corner. He comes charging after him with a clothesline, but Showtime leaps out of the way. Shadix crashes into the corner and immediately flies back a few feet onto the mat. Showtime waits for him to get up and leaps with a wheel kick! Shadix stumbles backward and out onto the apron. He gets to his feet, but Showtime throws an excellent dropkick, causing Shadix to fly backward and into the guard rail. Shadix looks pained, but appears to be okay as he gets to his feet. He slides back in and counters a punch with one of his own. A stiff uppercut follows, which sends Showtime reeling in the other direction. Shadix wastes no time in delivering a bulldog and going for another cover.
1!
2!
Showtime kicks out and leaps to his feet before Shadix does. Once up, Shadix is caught with a Headlock Takeover. Showtime follows up with an elbow drop. He goes running to the ropes as Shadix climbs to his feet. Showtime springboards off the ropes with a clothesline. Both men go crashing to the mat. Showtime gets up and takes a breather in the corner, waiting for his opponent to get to his feet. Once he does, catches him with a running clothesline, closely followed by a rear chinlock.
Pilgrim: That hold will wear a man down. Both men are wearing each other down, and one of them has to wrestle again! I’d hate to be either one of these men tonight.
Almanti: You couldn’t handle it, Pilgrim. That’s why you’re behind the desk.
Pilgrim: What about you?
Almanti: I’m too pretty to fight. You know that.
After a full minute, Shadix finally manages to break free and pounces onto the kneeling Showtime. They wrestle around the mat for a few moments before Shadix successfully locks in a guillotine choke. Showtime finds the ropes and the hold is broken. Both climb to their feet and circle the ring again, being met with a loud applause from the crowd. Shadix makes his move but catches a Drop Kick to knee. Shadix falls to the mat and Showtime makes his move. He climbs to the top and when Shadix gets to his feet – flying Crossbody! He hangs on for the pin.
1.....
2.....
What! Suddenly the lights go completely out and the entire room goes bonkers. The screaming is loud as people are confused as to what's going on. Suddenly, a read spot light starts to rotate around the arena to the crowd and eerie music begins to play. The lights come back to full suddenly with a fallen Mr. Showtime drenched in blood and Kaleb Shadix looking around at the referee with a confused look.
Pilgrim: What's going on here? This is straight of our "Psycho" or something!
Almanti: It's eerily similar to what we've seen in the weeks leading up to SuperMania!
A crazy, psychotic laugh starts to fill the arena and finally they find the source. Standing on the jumbotron is Shadow. He's behind these things all along!
Pilgrim: And it's the dead man!
Almanti: Alright. I'm officially spooked.
Tanner Dutton, confused, darts looks around, but Shadix drops down for the cover, getting his body soaked with Showtime's blood. Dutton drops down and starts the count.
1.....
2.......
3!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pilgrim: And Shadix is going to win this match even though before Shadow got involved, it looked like Mr. Showtime might have had this match well in hand!
Almanti: That's the nature of, dare I say....the Beast!
The crowd cheers as Lestat comes running down the ramp with Fire right behind. Lestat leans down and checks the body Mr. Showtime. He visibly gets pissed and looks up in the direction of Shadow. The laughing continues until the lights flicker off again for just a few seconds. When the lights come back on to full, Shadow is no longer to be seen. Lestat puts Showtime over his shoulder, not waiting for the EMT's to get there and starts walking him up the ramp.
Pilgrim: I get the impression that this event may have shown Lestat and their friendship isn't worth fighting over. He looked very concerned about Mr. Showtime.
Almanti: That's the way guys are. Get in a fist fight today, but ya a beer tomorrow. But I get the feeling that Lestat and Shadow are going to have settle this out in a violent way. Hopefully here at POW!

The camera cuts to the back where Lance Erikson is sitting in the Four Horsemen locker room with a blank stare on his face when Big Ci walks in looking pumped.
Big Ci: What's up? You ready for tonight?
Lance Erikson: (smirks) Oh yeah. Just trying to relax a little before the match if you get me.
Big Ci: Totally understand. So what's your strategy for tonight?
Lance Erikson: Clean house, completely decimate.
Big Ci: And if that doesn't work?
Lance stands up, revealing a brass knuckle laden hand. He turns and punches the locker as hard as he can, leaving a small crater in the metal.
Big Ci: I see...

AP: Nope, and this next match is a long time waiting. And for this historic rubber match, UWC's own Greg Gold and Doc Williams are here with us and will call the action!
GG: Thank you very much guys. Pleasure to be back in chair calling the shots eh Doc
DW: Damn right, and this is the match we all wanted to see in UWC but it never came along...until now.
GG: Lets get to it.
The stage lights all around the arena flash green and yellow spot lights shaped like money signs shoot around the arena as “Money, Money” hits and Nick Pickles walks out on to the stage. Nick Pickles stands on the stage as dollar bills fall from the ceiling of the arena and the crowd erupts with boos. Bubba walks out and he stands behind Nick Pickles. Nick Pickles adjusts the collar of his jacket and he looks around the arena.
Richard Huff: “Making his way to the ring first, accompained by Bubba… from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania… and weighing in at 250 pounds… NICK PICKLES!!!!
Nick Pickles walks down the ramp making his way towards the ring. Nick Pickles walks up the steel steps and he steps through the ropes to enter the ring. He walks over and he climbs up a turnbuckle and raises his hands up and rubs his fingers together in giving the money signal. Nick Pickles just smiles as he climbs down from the turnbuckle. He walks across the ring and does the same on the opposite turnbuckle. He then climbs down and takes off his entrance attire and hands it out to Bubba. He then looks up to the stage and he waits for his opponent.
DW: Pickles is the man, he's gonna take it all tonight.
GG: He's up aganist a legend tonight though
"Kobrakai" by Lost Prophets hits and the fans explode as the International Champion, makes his way onto the stage. The fans go absolutely nuts as one of the biggest and best wrestlers of all time stands before them. You can see Nick in the ring sneering at the sight of his enemy. Jay T. Nitro poses on the stage and begins his walk to the ring.
Richard Huff: "Now presenting the next competitor, weighing in at 224 lbs. Brought to us by Chicago, IL. He is the Current Big Thing AND UWC Television Champion, Jay T Nitro!"
GG: He is still larger then life!
DW: I dont see the big attraction in him
JTN slides into the ring and removes the Television title from around his waist and hands it to the referee. JTN warns Bubba on the outside, as he is all to familiar with his antics. As the two meet in the center of the ring, the crowd flashes their camera's as this is a moment to remember. Benny Lawson, the head referee, calls for the bell!
ding-ding
The UWC Television Title Match
Jay T Nitro (c) vs. Nick Pickles w/Bubba
Nick mockingly pokes a finger in the chest of JTN, trying to push him around. Nick laughs, as does JTN..sarcastically. JTN then stops, as does Nick, who's eyes open wide. JTN then punches Nick as he flies and bounces backwards. The crowd goes nuts! Nick sits up in the corner and curses as he comes back up to JTN. JTN goes to shove him again, but Nick knew this an irish whips him. JTN gets up quickly but Nick nails him with a nice dropkick. While JTN is down, Nick drops elbow after elbow until finally making a quick cover..........1.......2......kickout!
GG: Nick trying for the quick finish
DW: Yeah, we'll he wants to reserve some energy for when he moves to the next match
GG: What are you kissin ass for money or somethin?
Nick pickes JTN up and goes to ram his head into the turnbuckle, but JTN blocks it with his foot and instead rams Nick's head into the turnbuckle. JTN then does it a few more times until Nick is see'ing stars. JTN then grabs Nick and plants him with a running bulldog. He makes a cover........1.......2..but kickout. JTN picks Nick up by the hair and whips him off the ropes. JTN goes for a clothesline, but Nick ducks under it, stops and locks in a "Billion Dollar Dream"!
DW: Oh man, this might be it...he has it locked
GG: JTN has time to get to the ropes
DW: Nick has put plenty of people to sleep with this
Nick has it locked in as JTN tries to get out of it and the fans will him on. Nick keeps dragging him away from the ropes as JTN flings his arms to try ann escape. Finally JTN grabs hold of the ropes and flings himself over taking Nick with him! JTN hangs onto the rope and lands on the apron as Nick falls to the mat! Bubba tries to help Nick up as JTN stands up on the apron and leaps off, double clotheslining Bubba and Nick down!
GG: Look at that!
DW: He out of his mind, why did he have to hit Bubba as well
GG: Wrong place, wrong time.
The crowd is loving this as Nick tries to crawl away. JTN picks him up and whips him back first into the guardrail as he yells out in pain. JTN then takes him and whips him back into the ring at the count of 7. JTN slides back in the ring, but Bubba garbs his leg and pulls him back out. JTN though slugs him to the ground and slides back in the ring, only to be met with a leg drop on the neck from Nick. Nick then rolls him over for a cover........1.........2..but JTN kicks out.
GG: This is a great match, my god...no wonder we wanted to see this
DW: Two of perhaps the best ever going at it...of course it's great.
Nick then starts to work on JTN's knee. With drops of his knee onto it, kicking it and punching it. JTN is screaming in pain as the ref cant do nothing. Nick places' JTN's leg on the rope and leaps up and sits down on it as he screams out. He does that a few more times.Nick then gets JTN in an Indian Deathlock, to work on the knee. JTN screams out and tries to wiggle out of it, but Nick is to intent on hurting the knee. Wrench after wrench until Nick finally lets it go. He gives it a few more kicks before asking the crowd what they think as they BOOOO him.
GG: Oh stop being smug
DW: He's smart, workin on the knee like that
GG: Nobody doubts his smarts or in ring ability...its his attitude
DW: Not a popularity contest.
Nick picks JTN up by the hair and spouts things at him before spitting in his face. JTN, hobbled though, slaps his hands away and drops him with an impact DDT! Nick is out cold, but JTN is slow to move as well. JTN finally makes the cover with Lawson counting!
1......
2...
But Nick gets a foot on the rope!
GG: Oh man, he keeps hangin on
DW: He's the man, when you accept it...then you'll know.
JTN can't believe it as he asks the ref. Nick gets up and JTN turns and swings for a punch, but Nick ducks and when JTn turns around, Nick scoops him up and gives him a "Barrel O'Pickle"! Nick then stands up and plays to the crowd as they give him huge heat. Nick picks JTN up, but JTN sweeps Nick's legs from under him, hooks them and catapults Nick into the post! Nick stumbles out of the corner shakin as JTN, still limping, hits Nick with a "Dimaond Fire"
GG: Nitro executes that move so well, its got to be over.
DW: Surprised necks dont snap on that.
JTN makes the cover as Benny Lawson slides into position for the count!
1........

But Nick kicks out! The fans cant believe it as JTN lifts Nick up and tries for a "Meltdown"...but JTN's legs buckle and Nick swings himself out of it and gets JTN in for a "Vlasic Crunch"....but JTN reverses that to and lifts Nick over his head, but he lands on his feet and rolls JTN up, holding the ropes!

GG: Justice, he held the rope!
"Money Money" plays as Nick jumps up and down estatic. The ref hands him the belt as he rolls out of the ring and hugs Bubba. Nick seems exaughsted after this great match. Jay T Nitro seems shocked yet again.
GG: Jay gave it all he could
DW: Yeah but Nick puts him into retirement with a loss...I love it!
Nick just kneels on the ramp and laughs hysterically as he waves goodbye to Jay, signaling that he go the final laugh. Jay rolls out of the ring and walks down the isle as the fans pat him on the back. Jay T. Nitro tries to stand, but his legs won't hold his weight. He waves in an EMT crew.
DG: Oh man. This doesn't look good. JTN is holding that knee.
DW: The end of era. I'm sorry, but it's about damn time.
DG: I can't believe you can sit there and say that about a man who helped to put UWC on the map!
DW: Look, I appreciate the man's accomplishments, but it's time for fresh meat.
The medical staff on hand at the Scottrade Center get to JTN and immobilize his knee. They try to put him on a stretcher, but JTN refuses and demands to walk out. Using a few staff members as a crutch, he walks out of the ring on his own terms. The crowd cheers as he starts up the ramp in a very ginger fashion.

The jumbotron inside the Scottrade center flashes a scene in the back with Kid Luck exiting his lockerroom, getting ready for the Valor contender match. He's stop by his long-time friend, Josh Eagles. They give each other a secret hand-shake type of deal.
Josh: It's time for D-NeXt to take care of business on the singles end tonight.
Kid Luck: Damn right. Together, we can own this place. For the reputation for strong talent it's getting....well, let's just say I'm not entirely impressed with the talent here.
Josh: No kidding. A bunch of washed up has beens and a lot of never-will-bes. We both have a shot at some serious gold, my friend. I'm going to finish this deal with Reck after SuperMania and if Hunter doesn't relieve Stevens of his belt tonight, I'm going to do it real soon.
Kid Luck: Same here. I don't care if Big Ci or George Duke. You're looking at the future POW Valor Champion and tonight just gives me a hell of a shortcut.
Josh: And then? We take over the POW Midwest Tag Team Titles. Picture it, Kid....POW Valor, Heavyweight and Tag Team Champions....just between us. Couldn't be better.
Kid Luck: A walk in the park.

Pilgrim: And here we go, a match with a huge payoff. A five way elimination for the number one contendership to the POW Valor Championship.
Almanti: Five POW Stars and one winner......this match could be one of those show stealers.
Huff: The next contest has a twenty minute time limit and is an elimination match for number one contendership for the POW Valor Championship.
"Alive and Amplified" by The Mooney Suzuki hits and as the drums and guitars blare out, the lights around the entrance rotate red-and-gold lights all around the arena. Once the opening kicks in, Kid somersaults out of the curtain and onto his knees to amazing cheers. He jumps to his feet and runs down the rest of the entrance, slapping the hands of the fans as he goes along. He flips and dives between the 2nd and top ropes into the ring. He jumps onto his feet, goes to a turnbuckle and raises his arms before jumping down and waiting for his opponents.
Huff: On his way to the ring, weighing in at 162 pounds, hailing from Miami, Florida......KID LUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Luck exits the ring as "Hysteria" by Muse hits and the lights go dim and a strobe light flashes through the arena. Blue and green spotlights circle around as the music plays, and Joey Harris dances out from behind the curtain, slapping hands with some fans before sliding into the ring.
Huff: In the ring now, weighing in at 230 pounds, he comes from Seattle, Washington......The Natural JOEY HAAAAAAAARRIS!
Harris exits the ring and stands his distance from Luck. "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom" by Black Label Society begins to play as Lestat makes his way to the ring with Fire. The pair slide in and pose for the crowd.
Huff: The next competitor comes to us from Anaheim, California he weighs in at 210 pounds. Being accompanied by Fire. LESSSSSSTAT!
Almanti: Why is he dragging out their names so much tonight?
Pilgrim: Showmanship?
Lestat and Fire leave the ring and talk between themselves. "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor starts and as it plays and King Cobra comes out onto the stage and stares at the people. He throws his fists in the air and begins walking to the ring. He gives a few high fives to the fans as he walks down the ramp. He jumps onto the apron and jumps over the top rope. He walks to the ropes and steps on the second rope to taunt to the fans. He turns around and stands in the middle of the ring.
Huff: In the ring now weighing in at 226 pounds he calls Highland Lakes, New Jersey home.....KING COOOOOBRA!
Cobra exits and stands on the final side. Every light in the arena goes completely out and a spotlight appears on the stage at the curtain. "The Four Horsemen" by Metallica kicks up over the PA and Lance Erikson steps out onto the stage wearing a black leather trenchcoat over his wrestling gear and a pair of sunglasses. He stands still for a second, letting the boos wash over him before he walks, steel faced down the ramp toward the ring, where another spotlight has appeared. He climbs the ring steps and steps over the top rope. Lance takes off his trenchcoat and shades, handing both to the ring attendant. Lance then moves over to one of the turnbuckles and leans against it, arms crossed.
Huff: The final competitor, he weighs in at 280 pounds, he hails from Portland, Oregon.....LANCE ERIKSOOOOOOOON!
The five men get into the ring and stare each other down. Huff exits the ring and announces the rules.
Huff: Only two men will be in the ring at a time, the remaining competitors will stand on the apron and be able to be tagged into the match, however tags are not required to become legal. Simply being in the ring will suffice. There will be four eliminations with the final winner being the number one contender to the Power On Wrestling Valor Championship.
Harris, Cobra, and Lestat exit the ring and stand on the apron leaving Lance and Kid Luck in the ring. The bell rings to start the match.
#1 Contender's Match for Valor Championship
Lance Erikson vs. Lestat vs. King Cobra vs. Kid Luck vs. Joey Harris
Pilgrim: We have the biggest man in this match facing the smallest.
Almanti: This is gonna be interesting.
Luck and Erikson tie up in the middle but Lance shoves Kid onto his back. Kid rolls back to his feet and the two tie up again. Once more Kid gets tossed onto his back by Lance. Kid kips up to his feet only to be met with a clothesline from Lance. Lance picks up Kid and tosses him into a corner. Cobra tags himself in and runs at Lance. Lance sidesteps him and Cobra bounces off the ropes and runs back at Erikson but Erikson catches Cobra in an STO. A huge thud can be heard throughout the arena. Lance bends down and locks on the Shattered Lance. Cobra is kicking and heard screaming in pain until he starts tapping out. Lance stands up proud of his fast work.
Eliminated via submission at 2:24 - King Cobra by Lance Erikson
Almanti: Uh, what just happened?
Pilgrim: Lance Erikson somehow just destroyed King Cobra with one move. Cobra had momentum coming in, but that was just swept from under him.
Almanti: Along with his chances of winning.
Cobra rolls from the ring and heads up the ramp as Joey Harris runs in and starts hitting Lance from behind. He brings Lance down to one knee then runs off the ropes and jumps over Lance then turns and dropkicks him right in the face. Lance grabs at his face as Harris runs to the apron and waits for Lance to get up. As soon as Lance makes it to his feet Harris pulls himself to the top rope and slingshots in trying to hit a flying forearm but Lance catches him and hits a huge spinebuster. Lance picks Harris up and whips him to an open corner. Harris collides chest first. And stumbles backwards right into the Bridge of Lances. Benny Lawson drops to make the count.
1..........
2..........
KICKOUT!
Pilgrim: Joey Harris was able to kick out at two and nine tenths!
Almanti: Or in English, right before three.....
Lance gets to his feet and argues with Lawson. Lawson yells back telling him it was a two count. Harris pulls himself to his feet but can't stay standing after the huge move. Lance shoves Lawson out of his way and grabs Harris, he lifts him up and hits the Blunted Lance. Again he covers Harris for the pin.
1.........
2.........
3!!!!
Eliminated via pinfall at 9:47 - Joey Harris by Lance Erikson
Pilgrim: Lance is showing he really wants it. Two down and two to go.
Almanti: Look at Lestat and Kid Luck, they don't want anything to do with Lance.
Sure enough Almanti was right, Lestat and Luck are arguing from their respective turnbuckles telling the other to get into the ring with Lance. Erikson is watching the two fight and he waves his hands and exits the ring. He points to both of them and tells them to fight each other. Lestat and Luck enter the ring and start circling each other. Lance leans on the top rope from the apron watching the match like a spectator.
Almanti: Look at that, they were both afraid to fight Lance after he took out Harris and Cobra so easily. So Lance is letting them fight each other. That's a smart plan.
Pilgrim: Actually it is, cause he can't be eliminated then.
Luck runs at Lestat and hits a huge flying forearm. Lestat staggers and Luck runs back and this time does a forward roll and hits a dropsault dropping Lestat to the mat. Luck quickly hops up to the top rope and goes for a moonsault but Lestat rolls out of the way, Luck lands on his feet but Lestat made it back to his and locks on a full nelson. Luck tries to fight his way out but Lestat lifts him high into the air and goes for a slam, Luck grabs his arm on the way down and armdrags Lestat through. Lestat smacks the mat in frustration as Luck runs back at him for an enziguri. Lestat grabs Luck's leg and ducks under the second one. He flips the smaller man over and digs his knee into Luck's back as he has a single leg crab locked on. Luck stretches to the ropes but Erikson is standing near the bottom rope and he hops down and pulls the rope out of Luck's reach. Luck screams in agony now that he cannot reach the rope. He appears to almost tap out when Erikson lets the rope go and Kid snags it and holds it for dear life.
Almanti: Erikson is toying with Kid Luck.
Pilgrim: He held the rope back just to make Kid Luck suffer in that hold.
Almanti: Excellent strategy, he wants Lestat to soften him up so he can eliminate him like Harris and Cobra.
Lestat breaks the hold but the damage is done. Erikson hops back up onto the apron and leans back on the top rope watching the two in the ring. Lestat signals its the end. He picks Kid up and waves his arm saying it's over. Lestat lifts Kid onto his shoulders for a powerbomb, but Kid does a hurricanrana. Kid makes it to his feet but he's stepping gingerly on his bad leg and holding his back. Lestat makes it back to his feet in a slight daze. Kid Luck climbs to the apron. He waits for Lestat to turn to face him and he springboard planchas into the ring right for Lestat. As he connects Lestat catches him and drops forward hitting a huge powerbomb. He covers Kid. Lawson makes the count.

Eliminated via pinfall at 16:09 - Kid Luck by Lestat
Pilgrim: Kid Luck tried his damndest but it just wasn't his night. We are on to the final two.
Almanti: Luck should change his name to Kid Unluck.
Pilgrim: We have just under four minutes left in this match. And don't forget last time
Lestat kicks Luck out of the ring only to be blindsided by Erikson. Erikson grabs Lestats head and hits a European uppercut. He grabs him again and hits another. He then grabs Lestat and hits a hard knee strike to the stomach of Lestat.
Pilgrim: Lance Erikson is in control right now. He has three minutes to seal the deal if he wants the title shot.
Almanti: He can do it.
Lance picks up Lestat and does a go behind, he hits the Lungblower to perfection. Once again Lance locks on the Shattered Lance. Lestat immediatly screams in pain. Fire is on the outside covering her eyes. She jumps up onto the apron trying to distract Lawson. Benny Lawson runs over to try and get her to jump down. In the ring Lestat is screaming and he starts tapping out, but Lawson is arguing with Fire. Erikson turns to see what's happening and he releases the hold. Lawson sends Fire from ringside and she walks away knowing she helped save Lestat. Erikson tells Lawson to pay attention next time and he turns and gets rolled up by Lestat in a small package.
1........
2........
KICKOUT!
Erikson quickly gets to his feet, as does Lestat. Without thinking Erikson runs at Lestat and elbows him in the side of the head. Lestat staggers once more. Erikson turns and reaches into his pants and pulls out the brass knucks. Lawson sees this and tries to stop him. Lestat is leaning in one of the corners trying to compose himself. Lawson finally wrestles the brass knuckles from Erikson and goes to hand them to the timekeeper, Erikson pulls out another pair quickly and runs at Lestat in the corner and hits a stiff punch to the side of Lestat's head. He quickly stuffs the weapon back into his pants as Lawson turns around.
Almanti: BRILLIANT! TWO PAIRS!
Pilgrim: I don't agree it was right, but it was a smart idea.
Lance signals its the end. He climbes onto the turnbuckle behind Lestat and spins him around. He lifts him up into a cradle piledriver setup. Erikson jumps off the turnbuckle hitting the Cerebral Gift. The crowd lets out a collective "OOOOOH!" after hearing the skull of Lestat crack on the mat. Erikson rolls Lestat over and covers him. Lawson slides into position.

Eliminated via pinfall at 19:17 - Lestat by Lance Erikson
Winner: Lance Erikson
Huff: And your winner and Number One Contender to the POW Valor Championship.....LANCE ERIKSOOOOOOOON!
Pilgrim: Lance Erikson has done it with less than one minute to go!
Almanti: I told you he would.
Pilgrim: He didn't do it in the right way but he won.
Almanti: Shut up he won, that is the right way.
In the ring Lance celebrates posing for the crowd. Lestat is helped out of the ring unable to stand on his own. Fire comes back out and Lawson and Fire help take him to the back as Lance continues to celebrate his huge win.

AP: Well up next will indeed be a match to honor the UWC. Going back to the past Tito went and pulled out an old alumni.
TA: Yeah but i cant believe he got the sick clown...is he nuts!
AP: Will be a tough challenge for Eddie, the Mid Atlantic champion to overcome.
Richard Huff: "This match is scheduled for one fall. Coming down the isle, accompained by manager Mr.J, weighing in at 225lbs from Parts Unknown....Jester The Clown!"
"Schizophrenic" plays as the lights now dimm and from behind the curtain emerges Jester, grinning with his sharp teeth showing. Mr.J is right behind him, chuckling as they walk down the long isle way. The fans are all on his case as he snaps at them on the way down.
TA: Oh..better be careful, i heard he once bit his mother's hand when she tried to feed him!
AP: That a fact?
TA: No, but it's got to be.
Jester rolls in the ring and sits in the corner meditating as Mr.J pats him on the head from the outside. He looks around at the crowd, who are teasing him. He waves them off, like telling them to stop. Now, "Soul on Fire" plays as the crowd erupts.
Richard Huff: "And his opponent, weighing in at 220lbs from Miami Florida, he is the Mid Atlantic Champion of POW New England.....Eddie Buchalini Jr!"
Fans go crazy as Eddie appears on the stage, Eddie takes off his sunglasses and tosses them in the crowd. He walks down the ramp and climb into the ring and takes his shirt off and tosses that into the crowd.
AP: Listen to the fans, they love him.
TA: He is a Hall of Famer...but i dont think Jester cares.
AP: No, probably not.
Tanner Dutton checks both grapplers for weapons and gives them last minute instructions. Dutton heads to the center of the ring, gives a quick glance to both men and calls for the opening bell!
ding-ding
The UWC Nostalgia Match
Jester The Clown w/Mr. vs. Eddie Buchalini Jr.
The bell sounds as Jester slowly gets up and eye's Eddie up. Eddie signals for a tie-up, so Jester comes in. They struggle back and forth, with no advantage. Jester drives a knee into Eddie's mid-section, breaking the tie up. Eddie crouches and winces in pain as Jester comes up behind him and rakes his eye's viciously. Eddie screams out as Jester smiles in joy. Eddie finally elbow's Jester in the head, making him fall backwards into the ropes. Eddie wipe's the little blood trickling from his right eye.
AP: That Jester drew blood already
TA: He's an animal...i wouldnt wanna face him.
Jester runs at Eddie, but Eddie catches him with a swooping side walk slam. Eddie then gets up and bounces off the ropes and drops a knee to Jester's face. Eddie then places a chin lock on him as Jester wiggles in pain. Jester cant reach the ropes, so he swings his fists upward and nails Eddie in the face, making him break. As Jester gets up, he catches Eddie with a dropkick when he turns back around. Jester picks Eddie up and whips him off into the post.
AP: Jester trying to control the temp here
TA: Would be the smartest move, cause Eddie is rather quick
AP: Yeah, thats true
Jester charges in with the shoulder, but Eddie ducks and Jester crashes into it as the crowd pops. Eddie then rolls Jester up! Dutton is right on top of it!
1......
2.....
But kickout!
AP: A near fall for Buchalini has this crowd in a frenzy!
TA: Whew, close call.
Both men pop up and Eddie goes for a punch, but Jester blocks it and nails him with a headbutt. Eddie stumbles back and Jester hooks him up for a suplex, but Eddie blocks that. Eddie then tries for his own and executes it well. Eddie then tries for an E-Lock, almost gets it fully in, but Jester uses his leg strength and kicks him neck first into the ropes!
AP: Ooo man, that's got to hurt
TA: Those ropes are so thick, could decapitate you
Jester gets up and picks up Eddie from behind and back body drops him. Jester makes the cove, with Dutton hitting the mat to start the count.
1........
But Eddie kicks out.
AP: It's going to take a little more than a back body drop and a lazy pin to knock the POW Mid-Atlantic Champion out of this fight!
TA: Jester knows exactly what he's doing. He's setting the tone and the pace of this fight.
Jester picks Eddie up by the head and begins driving knee's into the upper back. Eddie winces some more, and then Jester finally leans over and begins biting Eddie's forhead to draw more blood as the ref pulls him off.
AP: Man this is sick!
TA: Not to him, this is like snack time.
AP: It's illegal and Dutton needs to get a handle on this!
TA: You want some cheese with that wine, Pilgrim?
The ref warns Jester as Mr.J laughs on the outside. Eddie gets up and catches Jester as he turns from the ref with lefts and rights. Eddie then spontaneously hits Jester with an "In Your Face"! He makes the cover. Dutton was as suprised as anyone with the quickness of the attack and is a little getting over for the count.
1........
2...........
But Jester kicks out!
AP: And the Mid-Atlantic champ almost left here with a huge SuperMania win!
TA: And he can blame Dutton's lazy ass for that! It took him forever to get in position for that count!
Eddie picks Jester up and leaves him standing. Eddie tries for an "E Kick" but Jester ducks and Eddie catches himself on the top rope! Eddie slowly gets off the ropes and runs into Jester who gives him a "Laughing Dose"!
AP: The impact that had on the head is immense!
TA: One of the best finishers in the business.
Jester makes the cover and Dutton drops down, because he knows this is it and gives his best finishing count.
1........
2.........
But Eddie kicks out!!!!! The fans are going nuts as Jester looks confused.
AP: And without a doubt, Eddie Buchalini is showing he has the heart of a damn champion here tonight!
TA: Or he's stupid. Take your loss, rest up, surive to defend the Mid-Atlantic title another day.
Mr.J tells his crazy clown to try the pin again. Once more, Jester puts one hand on each of Eddie's shoulders and goes for a school boy pin. Dutton tries one more time...
1.......
2........
KICKOUT!
AP: That's not going to get it done! Eddie Buchalini came here to win!
TA: It has been an amazing match, that much is certain.
Jester picks Eddie up, but he slaps his hands away and nails him with a few punches. Mr.J gets on the apron and Eddie nails him with an "E Kick" as he flies off onto the floor and the fans go crazy. Jester comes back in and Eddie kicks him in the gut.
AP: Tide turning maybe?
TA: Eddie picked up the momentum. Let's see what he can do with it.
Eddie locks his arms up and is going to go for an "E Drop", but Jester lifts him up and drops him chin first onto the trunbuckle! Eddie stumble out of the corner, dazed as Jester picks him up and plants him with a "Big Top"! Jester makes the cover with Dutton ready to count!
1.........
2..........
3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AP: Jester did it! He came here to POW and picked up a major SuperMania victory!
TA: The crazy clown still has it! Capaci needs to get off his ass and sign this guy to a contract.
WINNER: Jester The Clown
Richard Huff: "Here is your winner by pinfall, Jester The Clown!"
"Schizophrenic" plays as Jester squirms out of the ring and helps his manager Mr.J up as he carries him up the ramp on his shoulder. Eddie sits up and looks disappointed he let that happen.
AP: Hard fought match, thats for sure. Nothing to be ashamed of
TA: Yeah that's true, not easy to beat this sick clown
Eddie stands up and the fans gives him a standing ovation for his effort put forth in this match. "SOul on Fire" now plays as Eddie leaves the ring and up the ramp, shaking hands with fans.

As the POW crew starts to get the ring ready for the double ring, Hell in a Cell match, the lights dim down and the jumbotron flips on which shows highlights of Night, Daye, Hidealgo 19, Barbaro, and Death Adder in competition. It shows highlights of Final Cut's previous match under these same conditions and the total carnage that was left in the ring. It shows Manos Del Muertes in various forms of tag team events, and being quite successful. As the montage ends, the lights come back to full just in time to see the cell make contact with the ground. A loud cheer from the crowd ensues.

Alex Pilgrim: For the first time ever, there are now not one, but TWO rings here tonight, and both will be used for a single match!
Tony Almanti: Don't forget about the cage!
Alex Pilgrim: Oh yeah, this isn't your standard cage match though, we'll let Richard Huff explain the rules.
Richard Huff: This match is an elimination style hardcore match...IN A CAGE! There are two rings inside a single cage and weapons are strewn about the floor around the rings. This is a no holds barred match where escaping the cage won't net you a win! To win, the competitors must beat the living hell out of their opponents and pin them or make them submit! Once one man is down, his partner will have to pick up the slack or risk losing the match for his team!
Lights, Camera, Action comes on the speakers as the lights go out a few lights of blue and orange are panning over the entranceway as a hooded Night and Daye both walk out Daye walks ahead and kneels down as Night turns around behind him. Night puts his hands in the air and the two lift their hoods at the same time as the lights comes on. They both walk down to the rings taunting fans along the way with their signature "close up" taunt. The two enter the cage and both enter into a separate ring, taunting the crowd who boos at them incessantly.
Richard Huff: And weighing in at a combined weight of 582 pounds...the team of NIGHT and DAYE...FINAL CUT!
The audience boos as they continue taunting the crowd. As the sounds of Alice Cooper & Rob Zombie hit, the Manos del Muerte walk out. First, Luz Rojo walks through, and pulls the curtains out of the way. Hidealgo 19 is the first man out, followed by Death Adder and Electric Head. And lastly, El Gran Bàrbaro comes through. They stand, from left to right, Luz, Death Adder, Bàrbaro, Electric Head and Hidealgo, each performing the Manos del Muerte sign. This done, they walk to the ring. Luz takes Bàrbaro’s cloak off, as Death Adder and Hidelago toss their respective entrance attires to ringside staff, and the three wrestlers roll into the ring. The posse exits the ring as MdM starts talking to Manny Salazar. Manny Salazar nods his head and the three men stay in the ring as the cage is locked.
Richard Huff: Uhhh....(doing some quick mental math)...and our second team, weighing in at a combined weight of 696 pounds, the HANDS OF DEATH! El Gran Barbaro, Death Adder, and Hidealgo diez y nueve, MANOS DEL MUERTE!
Alex Pilgrim: Wait just a damn minute! He's letting all three stay in the match?
Tony Almanti: It IS a no hardcore match...anything's allowed! Plus, these guys are all part of the same team.
Manos del Muerte vs. Final Cut
El Gran Barbaro locks up with the much larger Night by himself, easily holding his own while Daye and Death Adder start going at it! Hidealgo leaps over the top rope to the outside of the ring. He snags a chair and tosses it into the ring while El Gran Barbaro clubs Night in the back of the head to keep from reaching for by sending him face first down to the mat. Hidealgo leaps over the top rope and back into the ring. He picks up the chair and whollops Night over the head with it. El Gran Barbaro laughs as he covers Night for the pin.
1...
2...
3!!!
Alex Pilgrim: HOLY HELL! An elimination THIS soon into the match?
Tony Almanti: Wow...I mean...wow
With the help of Hidealgo 19, El Gran Barbaro 'escorts' Night to the exit door and kicks him out by the family jewels. Hidealgo 19 and Barbaro both get into the other ring where Death Adder has Daye down on the mat and is currently flying off of the top rope, crushing Daye with a brutal splash. Death Adder picks up Daye while El Gran Barbaro and Hidealgo 19 grab a table and a spool of barbed wire. Death Adder, while the other two are setting up, lifts Daye up and Tombstone Piledrives him onto the mat, breaking his head open. El Gran Barbaro continues working, wrapping the barbed wire around the table as Hidealgo 19 gets on the top and flies off with a Macho Man elbow drop, caving in Daye's chest.
Tony Almanti: What's El Gran Barbaro doing?
El Gran Barbaro finishes up and then finds some lighter fluid laying around and squirts some on the table, setting it ablaze, illuminating the entire arena. With the help of Death Adder and Hidealgo 19, El Gran Barbaro gets to the top rope with Daye in a scoop slam position. With an enormous effort, he leaps from the top rope, backflips and brings Daye down onto the barbed wire wrapped table, cutting him open like a fish. Barbaro holds on in the midst of the flames and Manny Salazar counts.
1...
2...
3!!!!!!!
Pilgrim: What the hell? That was FAST!
Almanti: If I didn't know any better, I would say that MDM has just made a statement that they believe they should be in the POW Midwest Tag Team Title picture!
Pilgrim: It's hard to argue with that logic!

As they begin the cleanup from the previous match, the jumbotron inside the Scottrade Center comes on. On the screen is the face of the POW owner, Tito Capaci.
Tito: It has been brought to my attention that the company that has decided it would be wise to try to raid POW of talent has already fallen upon hard times. I have satelite TV. I flip it over to the appropriate station and the appropriate time and they're running "Father Knows Best" reruns. Obviously, I'm a bit confused by this, but I think...you know, it's probably just the wrong station. Nope. It was the right station. I thought, meh, it got canceled or they lost the feed. Nope. I have come to find out that Gem City Wrestling had some....technical difficulties...inside the arena. I don't know about all that. But what I do know is that Murderous Entertainment has their name just about right. But what are they murdering? My guess is the bottom line.
The crowd laughs a bit at the joke. Capaci gives it time to sink in before continuing.
Tito: But since this is a Pay Per View shown in homes in all corners of this country and beyond, let me tell you now with a shadow of a damn doubt....Power On Wrestling is the most consistent, most reliable, hardest working territorial promotion in the damn world!
The fans cheer for that one.
Tito: I can tell you this much. You certainly need to build a relationship with the fan base before you sell them tickets for an 8:00pm show and don't get started until sometime the next damn day!
The crowd cheers again. Customer service is very important.
Tito: Wrestling fans, if you want to see a growing, vibrant promotion, you're watching it right now. We're a real promotion. A professionally run promotion. Basically, we kick ass. Keep that in mind before you spend your hard earned dollars here, and in two-bit promotions that may be held in the Dayton, Ohio area. Toodaloo.
The screen flashes off as the POW fans cheer again.

AP: What an event this has become so far. Living up to the hype indeed.
TA: And now we know that Nick Pickles and Kaleb Shadix will get their match later tonight. I can't wait to see it. Two of my favorites!
AP: Shadix really blasted Pickles for finding a way out of that match last week, but that's just the Pickles way....find the loopholes.
TA: You got that right! But up next is a clash of ego's as it's been dubbed
AP: Yeah, neither men have shown love for one another and been brawling each week.
The lights all around the arena begin to flash as “Find The Real” by Alter Bridge hits and the stage fills with smoke. Hannibal then walks through the smoke and on to the stage with his Mike McManus. Hannibal walks around on the stage pointing to him self and shouting insults out to the crowd. Mike McManus stands in the middle of the stage applauding his client. Hannibal bounces up and down on the stage for a moment and then starts walking down the ramp.
Richard Huff: “Making his way to the ring first being accompanied by Mike McManus… weighing in at 240 pounds… and is from San Antonio, Texas… Hannibal!
Hannibal and Mike McManus stop at the bottom and look around the arena. Hannibal then runs forward and he slides in to the ring. He lies on the mat for a moment and then he rises up to his feet. He walks over and he climbs up a turnbuckle and he looks out to the crowd. The crowd has erupted with boos as Hannibal taunts them. He then takes off his shirt and is about to throw it in to the crowd, but then he just drops it on the ground. Hannibal laughs at the people as he climbs down off the turnbuckle.
AP: Hannibal looks more ready then he's ever been.
TA: Yeah, its rather scary to see him like this, he might be unstoppable now.
"I Stand Alone" begins to play and the lights dim as a strobe light pours over the entrance area. The fans stand on their feet, anticapating this next match and awaiting the site of Josh Eagles.
Richard Huff: "And his opponent, weighing in at 185lbs from Ontario Canada.....Josh Eagles!"
The curtains part and the fans begin to give a mixed reaction 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.
AP: Mr.UWL as Hannibal like to call him looks unhappy with this man.
TA: Who cares, Mike has Hannibal ready for this.
Tom McElvoy checks both wrestlers to see if they are ready to go. Eagles gives a few big head nods with some hops that gets the crowd pumping. Hannibal doesn't answer the ref's question, but keeps staring a whole through Eagles. McElvoy takes that as a yes and calls for the bell!
ding-ding
The Clash of Ego's Match
Josh Eagles vs. Hannibal w/Mike McManus
The two stand toe to toe in the center of the ring as the bell sounds. Each one mouths off to the other as things get heated. Hannibal pushes Eagles who just looks down. Eagles then comes back and pushes Hannibal who just laughs. He then steps in and slaps Hannibal as the crowd gasps. Eagles then tackles Hannibal and they begin brawling. They roll themselves right out of the ring and onto the floor, throwing punch after punch. Hannibal kicks Eagles off and tries to get up, but Eagles jumps right back on him and keeps punching. Hannibal lifts him up and rams his back into the steel post, dropping him. Hannibal then rolls Eagles back into the ring. Hannibal gets back in the ring as well and points to the fans, asking them what they think of Eagles now.
AP: What an arrogant idiot.
TA: Maybe, but who is on the ground right now?
AP: Oh shut it
Hannibal gives the boots to Eagles, kick after kick. He then grabs him by the hair and mouths off some more, but Eagles pokes him in the eye as the crowd loves it. Mike is upset and tells the ref to watch that. Eagles gets up and gives Hannibal a few chops in the corner as the crowd WOOOOO's along. Hannibal's chest is welted red now as Eagles takes him and whips him off the ropes and catches him with a nice clothesline. Hannibal gets right back up and gets clotheslined again. He gets up again, but before Eagles can get him again, he drops and rolls out of the ring to re-group with Mike. As they talk, Eagles gets impatient and bounces off the ropes and baseball slides right into Hannibal as the fans cheer. Eagles comes outside and Mike pleads from him not to do anything as he inches closer.
AP: Yeah, get your hands on that wormy bastard
TA: This isnt right, he didnt do anything to him
But before Eagles can get his hands on Mike, Hannibal cracks Eagles from behind with a forearm and tosses him back in the ring at the count of 8. Hannibal gets in and the ref tells him to keep it in the ring. At this point, Mike takes the oppurtunity to choke Eagles with his tie! The crowd BOOO's loudly, but he breaks in time. Hannibal then goes and picks Eagles up and puts him in the corner. Hannibal now returns the chops from earlier, but Eagles gets out of it quick with an uppercut. Eagles then swoops him up for an Airplan Spin. He spins around 6 times before letting him go. Hannibal twirls all dizzy and Eagles nails him with a spinning heel kick. He makes the cover with McElvoy ready for the count!
1.......
But Hannibal kicks out!
TA: See, not even a two count!
AP: The night is young...and what the hell happened to impartiality among the announcing team?
TA: What? You act like we're two responsible journalist or something!
Eagles then tries to get Hannibal in the "Eagle Claw", but Hannibal quickly gets out of it and reaches the ropes.
AP: So close, if he had locked that in...
TA: Close dont count on this big stage, he was smart enough to see where he was ring wise.
Eagles tries to pick Hannibal up by the leg, but Hannibal leaps up and nails Eagles with an Insugari! Eagles plops down. Hannibal then goes and locks in a "Battle of Cannae"! Eagles pushes up with his arms and rives in pain as Hannibal wrenches in the sharpshooter. Eagles tires to crawl to the rope, but Hannibal pulls back. The ref asks Eagles if he wants to quit, but he says no. Hannibal is locking it as hard as he can, and Eagles tries to crawl again to the ropes, only this time...reaching it! The ref instructs Hannibal to break, which he unwillingly does. Hannibal stands up and awaits Eagles to do the same. Eagles finally gets up and Hannibal charges for a "Cutting Edge", but Eagles moves and Hannibal goes shoulder first into the post!
AP: Oh man, shoulder and steel are not ment to mix
TA: Boy arent you the brain child today.
AP: Dont start, not tonight
Hannibal comes out in pain, holding his shoulder as Eagles gets him with a snap suplex. Eagles then climbs the ropes as the ref counts him to get down. Eagles goes off for a "Sweet Sacrafice", but Mike rolls his client out of the way slightly and Eagles crashes and burns. The McElvoy yells at Mike who plays innocent. With both men down, McElvoy begins a count to 10. Both men are sweating and exaughsted.
1............
2............
3.............
AP: And one has to wonder with the extremely fast tempo of this match if anyone has anything left!
4................
TA: If this match ends on a countout, I'm going home!
5.............
Hannibal latches to a rope and starts to pull himself up slowly. Eagles is still trying to shake off the cobwebs.
6................
7................
At the count of 7, Eagles is on his knee's and Hannibal is full up so the ref stops the count. Hannibal goes for a punch, but Eagles blocks it and gives him a shot to the midsection. Eagles then goes for a DDT, but Hannibal lifts him up and gives him an atomic drop. Hannibal then give him a "Big Deal" as Eagles is hurt now! Hannibal hooks the leg and crowd gasps as McElvoy drops for the count! This has to be it!
1............
2........
But kickout! Hannibal looks shocked.
AP: And Josh Eagles isn't ready to lost his match quite yet!
TA: Did you see how slow that count was?
Hannibal picks Eagles up and tries for a "Punisher", but Eagles drops down with Hannibal's chin on his head, jolting Hannibal backwards.
AP: What a nice despertaion move
TA: Got to pull out all the stops to beat the Real Deal.
AP: Eagles musta read that memo
Eagles gets up and gets Hannibal in a "Kiss of Death" as Hannibal's head cracks the mat. Eagles sluggs over and makes the cover with McElvoy counting!
1....
2.........
But Hannibal kicks out! Eagles looks shocked now too as he argues with the ref.
AP: The frustration is mounting out there with both wrestlers having trouble putting the other one away it seems, even after their best moves.
TA: Well, Hannibal has an excuse. McElvoy's counts for him are so slow you could time him with a calender!
AP: His cadence is the same for both men!
TA: Whatever, Pilgrim. I've seen you try to dance and you aren't exactly Mr. Rhythm.
Hannibal uses the ropes to get up as Eagles see's him. He goes after him, but Hannibal stops playing possum and nails Eagles with a "Cutting Edge"! Hannibal makes the desperate cover as Mike jumps on the outside, thinking this one is over!
1..........
2..........
But NO! Eagles kicked out again! Mike McManus is livid and jumps on the apron in anger and screams at McElvoy, drawing the referee's attention. This allows Hannibal to reach into his boots and pull out what looks to be Brass Knucks. Hannibal goes to hit him with them, but Eagles blocks it and they struggle to get a hold of them as Eagles tries to rip them off Hannibal's hands.
AP: Watch out, foreign object struggle
TA: As long as it doesnt fly over here and hit me, hits you...thats ok
AP: Why, thanks.
Eagles pushes Hannibal back as he almost hits the ref, but stops himself. When he turns back around, Eagles catches him with an "Eagle Wings"! Josh then makes the cover as McElvoy stops with Mike and counts!
1............
2............
3!!!!!!!!!
TA: SON OF A BI...
AP: BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!! Josh Eagles has just won one hell of a match against one of wrestling's fastest rising stars in Hannibal!
TA: This is a disgrace!
WINNER: Josh Eagles
AP: He did it, he caught Hannibal off guard and won
TA: God dammit, i thought he knew better to let this happen
AP: Mike is not happy
Richard Huff: "Here is your winner by pinfall.....Josh Eagles!"
"I Stand Alone" plays as the crowd somewhat cheers, not for Josh necessarily, but because someone beat Hannibal and Mike. Mike is having a temper tantrum on the outside as the fans laugh at him. Hannibal just sits up and stares at Josh Eagles on the ramp, who points back to him and grins, sayin he got him. He raises his arms one last time before going to the back.
AP: This has probably only begun
TA: If you know Hannibal and Mike, im sure your right.

The cameras cut to the back where Nick Pickles is seen re-taping himself for the upcoming match. Bubba is steel-eyed and watching at the door. Pickles knows the camera is there but refuses to look up.
The camera then cuts to outside Kaleb Shadix's room, looking in. Inside, you see Shadix changing his clothes. He notices the invasion of privace and slams the door on the camera's face as the camera laughs and boos at the POW bad boy.
Pilgrim: Those two are not far away from the meeting we all wanted to see last week, Tony.
Almanti: It should be a damn brawl. Throw the rules out the window, boys!

“Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood begins to play as Flap Flanagan and his manager ALF drive through the curtain in their Golf Cart. The POW fans are booing the Flanchise Player, a truly unusual site to see. Flap attempts to block out the insults as ALF stops the cart and they exit. ALF pops the trunk and grabs a cooler filled with Dr. Pepper, and offers to throw out to his client. But Flap ignores him and climbs into the ring.
Pilgrim - Flap Flanagan not drinking Dr. Pepper? This is perhaps the most focused we have ever seen this superstar.
Almanti - Do you blame him? This is his chance to show the world that he is worthy of all his accomplishments.
Pilgrim - That’s a valid point. Let’s see how good Flap is with a clear head.
Flap runs the ropes a little bit, not doing any of his usual shtick. Finally the music dies and Flap stops and stares at the stage...
Now kicks in Metallica’s “Four Horsemen” as a figure wearing a red cloak rides out of a horse. He stops and the figure locks eyes with the man in the ring. The cloaked individual draws a sword and points it ominously at Flap Flanagan. Now Reck Maverick’s theme kicks in as he throws the cloak off of himself and jumps off the horse and runs down the aisle and dives through the ropes and kips up in front of his brother. The stare at each other for a moment then Benny Lawson separates the two as Richard Huff takes center stage.
Huff - The following contest is the Brother against Brother match... First to my left... From Flappyville, Flantario... weighing in at 155 pounds - The Flanchise Player - FLAP FLANAGAN!
The crowd boos as Flap slowly raises his arms into the air, not taking his eyes off of Maverick.
Huff - and his Opponent. Fighing out of San Jose, California, weighing in at 220 Pounds - The Atomic Ninja and member of the Four Horsemen XE - RECK MAVERICK!
The crowd goes wild as Reck just stands there, no gestures, no acknowledgment... just staring at his brother. Richard Huff bows then leaves the ring as Lawson checks both men for objects then calls for the bell...
RING-A-DING-DING!
Brother vs. Brother
Reck Maverick vs. Flap Flanagan
Both men walk up to each other, trash talking... Flap takes a step back and throws a right hand, Maverick catches it and underhooks it and looks Flap square in the eye and talks a little more trash. Reck Maverick shoves his brother back and tells him to give it his best shot. Flap shoots himself off the ropes and tries a shoulder block, but the 65 pound weight disadvantage lives up to it’s name as Flap just bounces back off of the Ninja. Flap curses then the two lock up. Maverick switches to a hammerlock, then into a headlock. Flap manages to inch to the ropes to get some momentum to throw Reck Maverick off and into the far set of ropes in the process, as Maverick approaches, Flap grabs the top rope and pulls it down while checking Maverick in the hip, causing him to flip and sail over the top rope. Flap quickly tries to get Lawson to count Reck out but the Ninja manages to get back in at the count of 4. Flap immediately starts to stomp at his brother, even with the stomping Reck manages to get back up. Flap keeps kicking, and finally Reck grabs Flanagan’s foot and counters with a lariat. Instead of going for a cover Maverick grabs Flap by the hair and drags to a turnbuckle and leans him against it. Maverick climbs to the second rope and begin to hammer away...

Maverick stops then hops off, delivering a Mongolian Chop in the process, and Flap collapses to the floor. Now it’s Maverick that is stomping his brother, but like Maverick - Flap manages to get to his feet. Flap swats away one of Maverick’s kicks and begins to lay in some of his patented Flap-Slaps, each shot rocks the Atomic Ninja. Flap steps back a tries a clothesline, but Reck ducks and tries for a spinning Roundhouse kick aimed for Flap’s head, which Flap also avoids.
Almanti - These two sure aren’t taking it easy on each other.
Flap tries to kick his brother in the stomach - Maverick catches the kick, but Flap BACK-FLIPS out of that spot and clotheslines the stunned Maverick.
Pilgrim - Whoa! Something unexpected by Flap Flanagan.
Flap now locks him his armbar submission. But Reck is the ropes so the hold is broken. Flanagan lifts up his brother, kicks him in the shin and delivers a Hurricanrana which he holds onto for a two count. Reck kicks out and grabs Flap’s leg in the process and locks in a leg grapevine that he holds onto for a couple seconds before Flap starts hammering Maverick’s chest to get him to break the hold, and soon as Maverick’s grip is loosened Flap wraps his other leg around Reck’s waist and grips him in a Rear Naked Choke. Flap is squeezing with every amount of power he can and Reck appears to be fading, but he plants his feet and bridges his back, effectively pinning Flap. Lawson makes the count
1...
2...
Flap kicks out and releases the hold, now he mounts Maverick and start unleashing haymakers, 6 or 7 before Lawson pulls Flap off. Reck slowly tries to get to his feet but Flap cuts him off by delivering a stiff kick to the ribs and follows up with a couple Elbows to the back of the head and shoots the half nelson and goes for a pin.
1...
2...
Again Maverick kicks out. Flanagan argues with Lawson giving the Atomic Ninja to get back up to his feet. Flap turns around to find Reck hand wrapped around his throat. Reck grabs the Flanchise’s right arm and throws it over his shoulder then lifts Flap into the air by his throat. Maverick shouts out “AFTER SHOCK” and drives Flap into the mat with a thunderous Chokeslam.
Pilgrim - Reck Maverick goes back to the past with his former partner - Omega Storm’s trademark chokeslam!
Maverick perches on Flap’s chest as Lawson makes the count.
1...
Flap kicks out at about the one and a half mark. Reck drops a leg on his brother, followed by a second, and finally a third and again perches on Flanagan’s chest it gets a two count but that’s all. Now it’s Maverick that is arguing with the Ref. Flap slowly gets to his feet and spins Maverick around and starts wailing on him with right hands. Flap manages to knock Reck back into the ropes, Maverick slips and his arms get locked in the ropes. Lawson tries to untangle Maverick but Flap shoves him aside and begins to fire away with right hands on Maverick. Finally after about 10 shots Lawson again tries to free Maverick but again Flap shoves him away - this time however when Lawson is shoved and not watching Maverick kicks Flap in the “family jewels” and the Flanchise Player collapses under the pain and Reck manages to untangle himself. Seeing his brother on the mat, Maverick decides to go up to the top turnbuckle... he lines up his shot... A launches off with a Diving Headbunt...
FLANAGAN MOVES! And the Atomic Ninja crashes and burns... Flap crawls over and rolls Reck onto his back and slings and arm over top of him.
1...
2....
Reck Kicks out at 2 and a half.. Flap sits up and curses. He then pins Maverick again - this time is a full pin - hooking the leg even... and AGAIN Reck kicks out at 2 ½! Flap picks Maverick up and rakes him in the eyes and shoots him off the ropes and hits a big boot... Flap looks out at the POW fans and does a Mock-Hogan Hand-To-Ear pose and bounces off the ropes with a Big Atomic Leg Drop and he pins Reck
1...
2...
Reck POWERS out of the move, throwing Flap half way across the ring and NIN-JA-ROONIES his way to his feet. Flap is on one knee watching his brother get up, he angrily shakes his head and charges Maverick with a punch, Reck catches the fist and goes for a punch of his own - that Flap catches. The two brother stand there - in deadlock, each one has the other by their wrist... slowly there attention turns to Benny Lawson... DOUBLE PUNCH!
Almanti - HOLY SNAP! They BOTH just clocked Lawson!
Pilgrim - What are they doing!
Reck jumps away from his brother and they face off. Flap cracks his knuckles as Reck goes into a Ninja combat pose - they both nod and they charge each other peppering each other with fists of fury... eventually Reck gets the upper hand - rocking Flap with three good shots that dazes him near the ropes and Maverick Ninja-kicks him over the top rope. Maverick runs to the other side of the ring as Flap gets up and Maverick dives over the ropes...
Pilgrim - CORKSCREW PLANCHA!
Maverick twists through the air as he crashes into Flap and they both hit the concrete. Maverick is the first to recover - albeit slowly, Flap isn’t too far behind and again they begin to trade shots - this time outside the ring. Flap kicks Reck in the guts and slams his head off the hood of the Golf Cart... and he does it again. Flap now lays Reck on the hood of the cart as Flap jumps back onto the apron. He points to the crowd and dives off with the Flying Flapper Leg Drop which nearly decapitates Reck as he is snapped over the edge of the cart. Flap slowly gets to his feet and he lifts up his opponent and locks on a front face lock then... DDT... ON THE FLOOR... Flap looks down at his brother and grins, then rolls back into the ring with the still KO’ed Benny Lawson. He sits up on top of one of the turnbuckles and ALF tosses him a Dr. Pepper and Flap cracks it open and begins to drink as a now bloody Reck Maverick slowly makes his way to his feet and manages to roll back into the ring and up to one knee before begin blasted in the head by a half empty Dr. Pepper can thrown at him by Flap Flanagan. Flap then hops off the turnbuckle and starts wailing Reck with the rights and lefts - but Reck just won’t stay down. Flap tells ALF to toss him the cooler which ALF does.. Flap then drives the cooler into Maverick’s back twice then steps back and waits for the Atomic Ninja to rise up... Flap swings the cooler and MAVERICK DUCKS! Flap spins around and Maverick pulls his mask down - PEPSI MYST! As Flap stumbles around blind Maverick grabs the cooler and CRACK! Blasts Flap with it. Maverick falls down on top of the Flanchise Player as Lawson finally regains his wits and attempts a pin...
1...
2...
KICK OUT!
Flap manages to get a shoulder up. Both men are starting to get up, Flap smashes Reck with a right hand... and Reck responds with a headbunt followed by scooping Flap onto his shoulder and dropping Snake Eyes on him then bouncing off the ropes Maverick attempts a lariat - Flap ducks and applies the ROLL UP OF DOOM!!!
1...
2...
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maverick KICKS OUT!
Almanti - OH MY GOD! Alex! I’ve seen WORLD CHAMPIONS that couldn’t escape that most deadly maneuver!
Pilgrim - That is definitely going to make the SuperMania III Highlight Video.
Flap quickly gets to his feet and is LIVID he starts laying stiff shots and thick kicks. However hard he tries Reck makes his way to his feet and begins to lay in some THICK Ninja Chops that echo throughout the building - each shot almost blistering Flap’s chest, but Flap continues his assault with the hard as hell punches. Finally it’s Flap that breaks up the Punch-Chop brawl with a kick to the stomach and another DDT. Instead of pinning Maverick Flap walks over and begin to untie the cover of one of the turnbuckles, then goes back and picks Maverick up and slams his head off of the exposed turnbuckle... and a Second TIME! Reck stumbles back and Flap steps out onto the apron and up to the top turnbuckle - Flap dives off.... MAVERICK COUNTERS WITH A SPINE BUSTER!!!
Pilgrim - Maverick used this move to beat Josh Eagles at Spring Breakage!
Almanti - But will it work here?
Reck perches on Flap and Lawson begins the count
1...
2...
KICK OUT!
Flap pushes his way out of the pin and now it’s Maverick that lifts his brother... He scoops him up for another Snake Eyes and this time drops him on the EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! Flap stumbles back - now he’s bleeding... Maverick locks him in a Full Nelson then Jumps up locks his knees into the back of Flap - DRAGON BUCKLER! Reck, still holding the Full Nelson rolls Flap onto his stomach and applies the Full-Nelson-Camel-Clutch part of the Dragon Buckler. Lawson checks Flap - who is bleeding pretty bad - for the submission... Flap is refusing to give up. Flap can’t reach the ropes... Then Flap begins to shake... He starts wagging his index fingers back and forth....
Almanti - Is Flap Flanagan... Hulking up?
Pilgrim - I believe he calls it - Flapping up!
Flap manages to work his way up to one knee, then to his feet... with the nearly 70 pounds heavier Reck Maverick still locking in the Full Nelson! Flap slams himself backwards crashing down on Maverick - which finally breaks the hold... By chance Flap is still on top of Maverick so Lawson tries the pin
1...
2...
Maverick manages to kick out! Flap now uses the ropes to pull himself up - as does Reck... They are holding onto the top rope trying to pull themselves up while hammering each other with punches... they both get to their feet, continuing to pummel each other - the blood flying with each punch. Reck turns the tide with a kick to the inside of the knee, followed by a second. Flanagan hobbles on the knee as Maverick locks Flap in a front headlock and throws Flap’s left arm over Maverick’s neck and he steps in and Snap Suplexes Flap, and follows through with the pin for a mere two count. Maverick picks up Flap and whips him into the turnbuckle on the far side of the ring, Maverick runs after Flap and rolls across the mat and jumps up with a clothesline and follows up with a Bulldog Headlock and a pin.
1...
2...
Flap AGAIN kicks out of the pin. Reck attempts to lift him up and Flap cuts him off with a couple punches to the stomach and a rake of the eyes. Flap manages to lift Reck up and Body Slams him. Flap then points to the turnbuckle and the crowd actually cheers a little as Flap steps out onto the apron and mounts the Turnbuckle... But Reck cuts him off and he climbs the same turnbuckle, he lifts Flap up onto his shoulders in the Fireman’s position...
Pilgrim - Could this be the Kage Maverick Cutter?
Almanti - I don’t think even Flap Flanagan could survive this...
Reck looks out into the audience, and his attention turns to Flap’s Golf Cart... More specifically the canvas roof of the cart. Maverick steps up onto the Top Turnbuckle...
Pilgrim - NO....
Almanti - Please tell him Reck isn’t thinking what I THINK he’s thinking! That is suicide!
Pilgrim - Don’t do it!
Maverick screams KAGE MAVERICK CUTTER at the top of his lungs and dives off the turnbuckle, twisting Flap into a 3/4 Neck Breaker as they both crash through the roof of the Golf Cart! The crowd starts to chant “HOLY SH*T” as Maverick crawls out of the wreckage, pulling out his brother and slowly rolling him into the ring. Benny Lawson has an absolute look of shock on his face as Reck again perches upon Flap’s chest - Spider-Style and yells at Lawson to count. The ref quickly hits his knees...
1...
2...
KICK OUT!!!
Pilgrim - No Way! Flap Flanagan kicked out of that! By all accounts he should be dead!
Almanti - The world had greatly underestimated the toughness of Flap Flanagan!
Reck looks down at his bloody, battered brother... then looks out into the audience as they begin to chant “FLAN-A-GAN! FLAN-A-GAN!” Reck’s head begins to tremble violently as he mounts his brother and begins to pound the hell of him. Reck then grabs Flap by the leg and drags him towards a turnbuckle and slides out of the ring, and basically crotches Flap on the post, he then applies his Figure Four Leg Lock - using the post as an anchor to apply more pressure... Flap begins to scream in agony as Lawson slides out of the ring and yells at the Atomic Ninja to break the hold - Reck does the “YOU CAN’T SEE ME” gesture to Lawson and continues to wrench on the hold. Finally Lawson begins the famous countdown to disqualification...
1...
2...
3...
4...
Reck finally releases the hold and rolls into the ring. He drags Flap into the center of the ring and applies a spinning toe hold... then he holds up four fingers - the symbol of the Horsemen and completes the Figure Four Leg Lock!
Almanti - This is it for the Flapper! No one gets through The Best Damn Figure Four in North America!
Flap screams in pain as Lawson checks for the submission - Flap is refusing... Reck continues to apply pressure, Flap lays down to relieve the pain Lawson makes a count!
1...
2...
Flap sits up to break the pin but unfortunately puts him right back into the full pain of the Figure Four. Flap again falls back and again Lawson counts to two. Flap figures he has to something to break the hold... Flap begins to try and turn the hold over - he throw one arm into the air and shakes it to gain crowd support - and they start to cheer on the Flanchise... Reck is shaking his head and try to force the momentum in the other direction to avoid Flap reversing the hold... Flap does it! He turned The Best Damn Figure Four in North America into a modified version of an Indian Death Lock... But Reck quickly manages to use his extra weight to flip it back over into the Figure Four and Flap again screams in extreme pain!
Now Flap begins to drag both his and Maverick’s weight towards the ropes, surprisingly even with the extra near 70 pounds that Maverick processes Flap is still able to inch his way towards the ropes, he gets near the ropes and ALF hands him something...
Pilgrim - What the HELL is that?
Almanti - It looks like... like a friggin’ Coconut!
Indeed ALF hands Flap a coconut and Flap sits up and grabs Reck by the upper body part of his uniform and pulls him up then switch his grip to the back of Maverick’s head then hold the Coconut in the air and yells “DEATH BY COCONUT!” and CRACK! He smashes Reck in the skull with said Coconut and it EXPLODES! Milk and chunks of the shell fly everywhere as Maverick flops back and finally the pressure of the Figure Four is relieved! Flap gets some distance from his brother and tries to work some circulation back into his knee. Now he stands up and limps over and drags Reck to the center of the ring... Now again Flap points to the turnbuckle and slowly limps over and mounts it... He points first to the sky then to his brother and leaps...
Almanti - Oh my God!
Pilgrim - SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
Flap reverse flips through the air and nails it perfectly! The crowd is going ape-sh*t as Benny Lawson makes the count!
One...
Two...
Thr... KICK OUT!
Maverick kicks out at the last second and now they are both laid out on the mat... Lawson checks them both and begins the 10 count...
1...
2...
3...
4...
5...
6...
7...
8...
For something completely different - they both Kip up at the 9 COUNT! They immediately grab each other by the back of the head and begin to rapidly punch each other in the head. Reck kicks Flap in the stomach and places Flap’s head between his thighs and lifts him up for the Cat’s Eye Slash! Flap slips out the back and spins Reck around and throws Reck’s arm over his shoulder as he goes for the Flanchiser but Maverick counters with an elbow to the head and ducks behind Flap and lifts him up for the Ninjetti-Plex, Flap again counters by flipping out of the move and upon landing behind Reck attempts another ROLL UP OF DOOM! Reck rolls through and grabs Flap by the leg and tries another Figure Four but after completing the spinning toe hold, Flap reaches up and locks in a Small Package! Lawson drops down...
1...
2...
Maverick shifts his weight so that he’s the one small packaging Flap!
1...
2...
3!
RING-A-DING-DING!
Both slowly make there way to their feet as Benny Lawson holds up Reck’s arm. Richard Huff takes the microphone...
Huff - Here is your winner: RECK MAVERICK!
“His World” begins to fill the building as Reck celebrates. He calls for the time keeper to toss him some Diet Pepsi’s and the Atomic Ninja cracks them open and begins to drink the beverage... Flap watches his brother and shakes his head. He walks over and spins his brother around and they begin to talk trash to each other... Flap gestures for ALF to throw him a Dr. Pepper and he cracks it open and raises it up as he locks eyes with Maverick. Reck nods as he lifts his can up and the two clang their cans together - there respective drinks flying everywhere... and finally the two brothers embrace!
Almanti - This makes me sick!
Pilgrim - What?
Almanti - I don’t know who’s worse - Flap for trying to get back into Reck’s good graces after getting his ass kicked... or Maverick who is stupid enough to welcome him back!
Pilgrim - This was a battle of respect - Reck won and I think his older brother finally realized that Maverick was indeed everything he claimed to be - and more...
Reck and Flap both get another one of their drinks of choice and they toast again as they make their way up the aisle. They stop near the curtain and turn to the screaming fans and give a Double Thumbs up then disappear in the curtain.

Pilgrim: And here we are. It's time for Power On Wrestling to tribute an entire match to the legacy of Teddy Davis.
Almanti: I don't understand it. Capaci and Davis have been bickering back and forth through their respective promotions, a little word sparring that was started by Teddy Davis. What in the world is Capaci thinking tributing an entire match to this guy?
Pilgrim: I guess he's trying to make his peace and move on.
Almanti: Well, I don't like it. I know Capaci is about the best business man in the wrestling industry today, but sometimes, it has to get personal.
Richard Huff takes center stage in the ring and pulls the microphone to his lips to read the address before the match.
Richard Huff: Ladies and gentlemen, fans of POW Wrestling...Tito Capaci and the entire Power On Wrestling company would like to take this time to thank Mr. Teddy Davis for his great contributions to the wrestling community. Unfortunately, Mr. Davis could not be attendance tonight, but we have heard is watching this event live on Pay Per View in Canada!
The crowd cheers for the fact that POW has graduated to having a continent-wide PPV event.
Huff: To commemorate Mr. Davis, Tito Capaci has decided putting forth the greatest puroresu match that North America has ever seen would be the best way to honor Mr. Davis. He has brought to extremely talented and popular individuals of the Far East to participate in this match. These two greats have never met in a ring outside of Eastern Asia and we would like all of the POW fans to welcome them as well.
The crowd cheers.
Huff: These two individuals have a mutual dislike for one another. They have wrestled many times and they have never walked out of a skirmish without both having a pair of black eyes. It is reported that they simply can't wait to get their paws on one another. And so, without further ado, in honor of Mr. Teddy Davis, the participants of "The Greatest Puroresu Match in the History of the North American Continent!
"Killing me softly" by the Fugees begins to play over the PA system. The crowd is on their feet, waiting to see who might stroll out from back stage.
Almanti: Killing me Softly by the Fugees? This sucks already!
Pilgrim: Hey, they have a different way of doing things over in Asia.
The audience in attendance and the PPV audience watching at home see, at the same time, not one, but BOTH competitors being brought down to the ring. Half of the crowd is stunned and confused while the other half breaks into hysterical laughter. The competitors just happen to be two Giant Panda bears imported from China being wheeled down to the ring in two cages.
Pilgrim: Pandas? Are you kidding me?
Almanti: Ahahahaha! It was a joke all along! That Capaci had going me going for a minute!
The handlers start to get the Pandas ready to be released from their cage where they would try to attempt to walk the bears up the stairs and into the ring. As they set up leashes through the cage, Huff continues.
Huff: First, from Red China, weighing in at 275 pounds.....He is.....LEOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
The crowd cheers as the handlers for that particular bear raise their hands and try to get the crowd into it.
Huff: And next, his opponent....also from Red China....he weighed in at 265 pounds......HIGHWAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!
Pilgrim: Leo and Highway, huh?
Almanti: Hmm...interesting. *cough* Lion's Road *cough*
Pilgrim: Exactly. Capaci had this whole thing set up.
Just as the handlers are about to let the bears out of their cages, a man runs down the aisle and grabs the microphone from Richard Huff. The man happens to be head of security at the Scottrade Center, Harvey Williams.
Williams: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't let those animals out there. They're not trained to be around all these people and they have to be caged in. Period. Absolutely not. If you let those bears out, I'm shutting this damn event down!
Williams is as surprised as everyone else in the arena when The Godfather Theme begins to play loudly over the PA system. The crowd stands to their feet and cheers as they know Tito Capaci will get to the bottom of this. There will be a tribute match between two panda bears, damn it! Capaci power walks down the ramp and up the steel stairs and cockily steps between the ropes and pulls out a microphone of his own.
Tito: I'm paying a hell of a lot money to rent this place. Those damn bears are fighting right here tonight!
Williams: Not possible. Those pandas are not fighting without some sort of enclosure.
Tito: I promised the world a damn tribute match and you spring this on me now?
Williams: You didn't tell me you were going to have wild animals fight! Not bears!
Tito: Did you not read the memo? They were secret fighters! If I told you who was fighting, it wouldn't be a secret anymore, would it? Hell, it probably would have been leaked out to the damn national media!
Williams looks up and sees the Hell in a Cell type enclosure lifted above the ring that was used for the Final Cut vs. MDM match. He gets an idea.
Williams: Hey, I tested that big cell thing out. It'll work. Lock it up, put the bears inside and you can have your match.
Tito: You have to be kidding. This is suppose to be a puroresu match. A Hell in a Cell match would be too damn entertaining to be a puro match, Harvey.
Harvey: Then you can't have the match. And if you want to be here instead of in jail when your unification match starts, I suggest you call this damn thing off.
The crowd starts to boo at Harvey who is now not a very well-liked person. Capaci relents and tells the the handlers to get the Panda's ready to roll backstage.
Tito: Fine. We're calling it off tonight. But at some point...we're having this match and if you don't want the business, that's your problem. We'll let someone else have the spoils.
The Godfather theme starts to play as Capaci steps through the ropes and down the steel stairs. The crowd cheers him on as he starts back up the ramp.
Pilgrim: Well, I don't know what to say. Would you say Capaci's plan backfired?
Almanti: Are you kidding me? That's the most humorous thing I've seen in a long-ass time. And like he said, he's having the match at some point. I guess that gets to be a surprise for all of us too!

Kailus Holmes and Benjaminm Payne are standing by POW's interviewer, Greg Kilgreen.
GREG: Kailus, you stand here tonight mere moments away from one of the most important matches of your career. What are your thoughts going into the match?
Kailus smiles cockily and pulls down his hood.
KAILUS: Greg, no matter how many times I hear you or the millions of morons around the world question exactly what is going through my mind, you never seem to get the message when I tell you. The only thing going through my mind at the moment, is the end of Rich Morrison.
PAYNE: Rich will know what it's like to feel pain! It will be pain like he's never experienced before! And I'm going to be right there to enjoy every solitary second of it all!
KAILUS: Rich... this is it. No more talking. No more security, and no more pretending to be "distracted" by some MPW reject. You think that LWE is better than MPW? Truth is, that's correct! I never argued that claim! I never took any interest in disputing that with you. LWE however, is just simply the bastard child of a company that Jamez claimed he killed. And tonight, I prove to the world that neither MPW or LWE will reign supreme. Tonight, I prove that the only reason those two companies had any kind of claim to fame... was because of me.
GREG: Obviously, you did hold both the MPW and LWE titles, just like Rich Morrison. So how is this going to effect the hardcore fans of both former companies?
KAILUS: It's the most important match in the history of MPW or LWE. And will be the single most shocking match in the POW. This match is not just going to be a simple wrestling bout... it's not even going to be a fight... this is a war. And when the rich wage war, it's the poor who suffer.
PAYNE: Morrison! All the "new money" in the world isn't going to help you now! This is the end of the line for you! Prepare for something that you have never experienced before!
KAILUS: Prepare... for the Next Level!
The two barge past Kilgreen and make their way to the entrance curtain as Greg adjusts his standing and brushes the creases out of his suit.

Alex Pilgrim: Well, we're back Ladies and gents...
Tony Almanti: It's time for the GRUDGE match. Two men who don't really like each other going head to head in an all out war to see who's right...and who's wrong!
The lights begin to fade into darkness, the arena decends into darkness for a few moments. The titantron flickers on, revealing images of various famous superstars fallen. Sprawled out on the mat, bloodied, bruised and beaten. The images intensify, flashing faster and faster before finally a bright white light transforms the titantron screen to a location where small lamps are positioned vertically. A man with a hood stands in the center, rubbing his hands in anticipation. The haunting piano then begins to play and the lights return, covering the arena in a deep blood red. Kailus cockily makes his way out the ring, the hood covering his face. He stops at the entrance stage, looking around at the fans. The drum loop is nearing it's end, Kailus thrusts his hands up, signalling for not only the guitar of the song to kick in, but for a huge yellow light to cover the back of the stage, shining on the back of Holmes. As the light finally subsides, Kailus lowers his hands and slowly walks down the ramp.
Pilgrim: Kailus has made his intentions known since day one here. He wants Rich Morrison.
Almanti: Well you know what they say, Alex...Be careful what you wish for.
Kailus moves down the ramp, pointing to the fans by the guard rail, exchanging hatred filled words with them. He shocks another fan by flipping him off as he nears the bottom of the stage. Kailus stops once again at the apron and resume looking around to play to the crowd. He resumes his push to the ring, but taking his time he paces to the ring steps. Before making his way up to the ring ropes, he leans forward, placing his right hand on the ring steps and pulling himself up like an animal on the hunt. In one swift motion, he straightens his back and leans through the ropes. He moves to the centre of the ring, pacing. He leans forward, grabbing his hood.He jumps back up, removing the hood and thrusts his hands outwards, signalling for more lighting to flash from above the ring apron. The red dull glow of the lights dies out and returns back to the original lighting. As the guitar solo begins, Kailus is on the turnbuckle, pointing to the crowd and claiming that he is the greatest superstar in the history of professional wrestling.
Richard Huff: Here he is, representing MPW. Weighing in at 250 pounds, KALIUS HOLMES!!!
Alex Pilgrim: Have you ever seen a guy more full of himself, Tony?
Tony Almanti: I'm about to.
"Americas Most Hated" by Kevin Federline begins to play over the speakers in the POW arena. The building goes dark and a single light is shown at the entryway. Out of the curtain, "New Money" Rich Morrison appears. The crowd is booing loudly as Rich arrogantly walks to the ring. Every footstep corresponds to a beat in his themesong. He slowly slides into the ring. He gets on the middle rope and throws his arms above his head. He steps down from the turnbuckle and "runs the ropes" for a bit. He finally stops, looks into the camera and grins a cocky, toothy grin. Morrison means business tonight folks!
Richard Huff: And his opponent, representing LWE and weighing in at 210 pounds...RICH MORRISON!
The audience boos both men as they try and get their kudos from the ticket buyers. Tanner Dutton starts the match off.

Kalius Holmes kicks out solidly and proceeds to boot Morrison in the face at the same time. Holmes gets back to his feet as Rich Morrison throws out the "This close" hand sign, enraging Holmes who backs Morrison into the turnbuckle with various punches and kicks. Kalius wraps his arms around Morrison, bringing him away from the turnbuckle with a quick Belly to belly. While Morrison is still down, Holmes grabs onto an arms and whips himself around, trying to lock Rich into an armbar, but Rich reaches out and grabs hold of the ropes with his foot before Holmes even has a chance to lock in the maneuver. Tanner Dutton pulls Holmes off of his opponent before anything illegal can be done.
Alex Pilgrim: Kalius Holmes is looking great out there, but Rich Morrison certainly knows how to hold the man off.
Rich Morrison leaps back to his feet while Kalius Holmes backs off. Rich Morrison attempts to lock up with Holmes, but Kalius instead grasps onto his head and pulls him down. Kalius tries to nail a DDT, but Morrison struggles out of it and Kalius kicks Morrison's leg out from under him.

2.NO..KICKOUT!
Rich Morrsion kicks out JUST after the count of two and Kalius pulls him quickly back up to his feet. Kalius kicks Morrison in the gut and grabs onto Morrison, bringing him over in a fisherman suplex. Kalius releases just as they hit and gets back to his feet, stomping Morrison a couple of times in the face. Rich Morrison rolls away from the flurry of feet and uses the ropes to get back to his feet as fast as he can. He turns just in time to see Holmes advancing quickly on him. Holmes reaches out for Morrison who goes down and brings Holmes down with a drop toe hold. Holmes falls, guillotining himself on the bottom rope and Morrison hops over the ropes to the ring apron. He leaps and brings his leg down on the back of Holmes' neck with an easy leg drop. Holmes bounces off of the rope and flips onto his back in the center of the ring. Rich Morrison leaps back into the ring and runs over Holmes, leaping onto the middle rope and backflipping off. Kalius Holmes lifts his knees, sending Rich crashing to the turnbuckle.
Alex Pilgrim: Whoa! Rich thought he had it won right there!
Kalius Holmes pulls himself back up and walks over to a hurt Rich. Kalius Holmes grabs hold of Rich's arm and whips him into the opposite corner, closely following him in, slamming him into the turnbuckle while locking his arms around Rich's midection. Kalius lifts Rich up easily and brings him over in a german suplex. Kalius Holmes rolls over, standing up and bringing Rich over with another German. He stands and this time, almost brings Rich down onto the ropes. Holmes, getting tired, repeats for a fourth time. Rolling Rich over once more, Holmes stands up, obviously out of breath and brings Rich over in one more German suplex, this time bridging up for the pin.

KICKOUT!
Just before the count of three, Rich kicks out of the near loss and slowly gets back to his feet while Holmes lays on the mat clearly out of breath. Rich raises one of his arms in a premature victory as he waits for Holmes to get back up. Rich grabs onto Holmes and helps him to his feet. Rich tries to whip Kalius into the far ropes, but Holmes reverses it and pulls Rich back. As if Rich was expecting it, he leaps up and grabs onto Holmes' head, attempting the Queen's Cutter '03. Kalius Holmes manages to barely push Rich off, crashing him into the mat hard. Rich lays there as Holmes covers Rich for the pin, wrapping Rich's closest leg.

(Rich lifts his free leg onto the ropes)

Tanner Dutton calls for the bell as Kalius Holmes rolls out of the ring with his arms raised for the win. Rich slowly sits up and starts yelling at Dutton, telling him he had his feet on the ropes.
Alex Pilgrim: As much as I hate to admit it, I think Rich was right there...let's check the replay.
::Cuts to a slow motion replay of Rich Morrison getting his foot on the bottom rope just after Tanner Dutton counts 'two'::
Tony Almanti: Looks like Kalius escaped with that one there. He got lucky tonight!
Rich can't believe it and backhands Dutton through the ropes. Security quickly jumps into the ring and takes hold of Morrison and start escorting him to the back ans Kailus laughs on.

The show cuts to a scene backstage where Jay T. Nitro is finishing up an exam with a staff doctor. The doctor sits down in his chair and shakes his head.
Doc: Mr. Nitro, it's not good.
JTN: What's the story?
Doc: To early to tell without some good scans of that knee, but there's some ligament damage in there. ACL, ICL, something. Too early to tell if it's strained, popped, pulled, torn...just don't know.
JTN: So what you saying? A couple weeks, a month? What? How long am I out?
Doc: Difficult to say. With your wrestling style, if it's a tear, you're out for a year or more. If it's a slight strain or pull, could be out training again in a couple of months. But you won't be ready to wrestle for at least 4 months either way.
JTN: I don't think so, doc.
Doc: Well, I'll reserve a final judgement until we get some scans done and read.
The scene closes with JTN dropping his head, wondering what next.

PIlgrim: And that is awful, awful news to hear about Jay T. Nitro, a legend of our sport.
Almanti: Yeah, it sucks. Can't deny that, but it's part of the game. You play, you get hurt, get back up again. Get over it.
Pink Floyd’s Money begins to fill the arena as Nick Pickles walks out into the aisle. Bubba walks beside him holding Pickles new UWC TV Championship high in the air. He walks down the ramp arrogantly as the crowd boos, hisses, and calls him names that would even make a sailor blush. He walks up the steel ring steps and walks across the apron a little before he steps through the ropes. He taunts the crowd a little, hands the referee his title, then goes to his corner...
Pilgrim - There he is Tony... The new UWC TV Title holder- A True UWC Icon... Nick Pickles.
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.
Almanti - I don’t believe it...
Pilgrim - What?
Almanti - Finally we got a match with two guys I like.
Richard Huff now stands in the middle of the ring with a microphone...
Huff - Ladies and Gentlemen - The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty-minute time limit... and is for the POW Midwestern Television Championship. First the challenger from Philadelphia, PA, and weighs in at 250 Pounds... Nick Pickles!
Pickles gestures to the crowd and they boo like crazy.
Huff - and his opponent... from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 240 Pounds... He is the POW Midwestern Television Champion... He is Kaleb Shadix!
The Crowd boos so Kaleb just flips them the bird. Huff bows then leaves the ring. Referee Tom McElvoy checks both men for weapons then rings the bell to begin...
RING-A-DING-DING!
POW TV TITLE AND UWC TV TITLE UNIFICATION MATCH
KALEB SHADIX vs. NICK PICKLES
Pickles moves in for a classic collar and elbow tie-up but apparently Shadix is in no mood for such shenanigans as he immediately tackles Pickles and starts raining down a boat load of rights and lefts. Shadix hops off his opponent and starts stomping him repeatedly until Pickles manages to roll out of the ring for a breather.
Referee McElvoy counts up to about 6 when Nick rolls back into the ring. Pickles begins to start a conversation with the referee but fakes it and charges at the TV champion... but catches a fist to the face for his troubles. Shadix grabs Pickles and whips him into the ropes and Pickles uses the momentum to knock the lighter man down with a shoulder tackle. Pickles throws his hands into the air and yells “HA! I GOT HIM” then noticing that Shadix is beginning to stir he bounds off the closest set of ropes. Shadix rolls onto his stomach as Pickles hops over him and continues to run and hits the far set of ropes as Kaleb hops up and catches Nick with a hiptoss... well tries to but Nick used his extra 10 pounds to prevent himself from being flipped and counters with a lariat and a pin attempt.
Referee McElvoy counts
1...
But Shadix kicks out with little effort.
Pilgrim - Easy kickout by the POW Television Champion
Nick locks on a rear chin lock on his opponent then distracts McElvoy into looking in a different direction as he converts the hold into a choke hold.
Pilgrim - Hey... HEY! That move is illegal!
Almanti - No it’s not Alex...
Finally the ref sees the choke and starts the required 5 count.
Almanti - NOW it’s illegal.
Pickles holds the choke until the 3 count and releases it. He then picks up Shadix and body slams him, and follows through with a good ol’ Elbow Drop, followed by a second then goes back to the Rear Chin Lock but before McElvoy can check it Shadix places his foot on the bottom rope. Pickles surprisingly breaks the hold, but then kicks Kaleb in the spine. He then picks the Champion up and drags him into one of the corners and starts punching him in the head. McElvoy attempts to break it up but only serves to distract Pickles long enough to allow Shadix to begin biting Nick on the bridge of the nose.
Almanti - Whoa! Looks like Kaleb Shadix may be having hallucinations
Pilgrim - Ok... This one I have to hear... Why?
Almanti - Well he thinks that Pickles is an actual Pickle! See he’s biting him.
Pilgrim - Right...
McElvoy counts to 4 before Shadix releases the hold... er his teeth. A stunned Nick Pickles stumbles back to regain his wits, but is immediately hit with a flying dropkick by the POW TV Champion. Shadix then grabs Pickles’ legs and tells the ref to close his eyes - which he does as Shadix stomps the nards of The Vlasic One. He then pins Pickles and yells at McElvoy to open his eyes. McElvoy drops down for the count.
1...
Kick out by Nick Pickles.
Shadix then returns the favour and begins to choke his opponent - McElvoy gets to about 4 and 99/100ths before Shadix releases the hold. Kaleb now lifts his opponent and hangs him on the ropes so that his head and arms are over the ropes. Shadix climbs out onto the apron and grabs Pickles’ head and does a variation of the 3/4 Neck Breaker or Diamond Cutter which whip lashes Pickles’ head off the rope and Nick crashes back onto the mat as Shadix slides back into the ring and goes for another pin attempt but only catches a two count from Tom McElvoy. Kaleb begins to argue with him which culminates with Shadix giving the referee the patented one finger salute.
Shadix turns around to receive an eye gouge from the recovered Nick Pickles. Pickles continues on the offense with two shots to the stomach and a stomp on Shadix’s foot, Nick picks him up for another body slam, but Shadix slips out the back - spins Nick around and nails a big ol’ nasty uppercut that rocks the challenger. Shadix bounces off the ropes and charges back with a running high kick that again rocks his opponent but doesn’t knock him off his feet. Shadix shouts an explicative and hits the ropes again and this time uses his Running DDT... Pickles goes down, but the impact was so great that it actually bounced Pickles back up to his feet. Kaleb rolls to his feet and takes a second to think of what the f**k he can do to keep Pickles down, he decides to again go off the ropes... this time it’s one time to many as Pickles catches him... BLAM Spine-O-Buster and a pin.
1....
2...
Kick Out!
Shadix quickly slides away from his opponent and uses the ropes to pull himself up, obviously he was NOT expecting that. The Champ takes a second to collect his thoughts then charges his opponent but again Pickles counters but this time with a back body drop. Shadix again quickly pulls himself up... and charges Pickles again... And again get knocked down. Pickles looks down at his opponent and yells “STOP RUNNING!”
Pickles picks the stunned Champion and sets him up for Vertical Suplex but Shadix turns it into a Small package pin for a quick 2 count. Pickles explodes to his feet surprised to see Shadix do an actually legitimate wrestling move. Shadix also gets up and they stare each other down...
Pilgrim - Tony... It's a Mexican Stand-off...
Almanti - Alex, they aren't Mexican...
Pilgrim - It's an expression... ah forget it.
With the two in a staredown, Bubba hops up on the ropes. McElvoy rushes over to get Bubba down off the apron and Pickles pulls out a set of brass knucks and takes a swing at Shadix who ducks under and pulls out a set of brass knuckles of his own and DRILLS Pickles on the turnaround. Shadix tosses the knucks in the opposite direction and falls on top of Pickles and pounds the ground to get McElvoy's attention.
Pilgrim: What the hell? Did you see that? They both tried to cheat!
Almanti: Shadix was the only one to do it effectively though, heh.
McElvoy turns and drops down for the pin. Shadix pulls back hard on the hooked leg!
1.......
2.........
3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pilgrim: And Shadix did it! He beat a huge UWC legend tonight!
Almanti: Sidenote, Alex....Kaleb Shadix is undefeated in singles competition. He's going to be wanting a shot at the Valor or Midwest Heavyweight belt real soon.
Shadix gets his hand raised and then rolls out of the ring before Bubba can reach the middle of the ring. Bubba bends down to check on Nick, as Shadix takes his new unified Title as well as the POW and UWC Titles with him to the back!
