SuperMania III: UNITED POWER

[Tito Capaci]

We rejoin programming in the backstage area. We are in Dave Hunters locker room. Dave is sat on a chair pulling on his knee pads with the UWC International Heavyweight Championship belt across his waist. Mike McManus is behind him pacing back and forth.

Mike McManus: Tonight’s the night Dave… Tonight is THE night. Me and you back together like it’s meant to be. And tonight we’re coming out with the Midwest Title as well… are you ready?

Dave Hunter: ye…

Mike McManus: Of course you’re ready… you were born ready. You are a winner baby and you’re gonna win tonight as well. Tonight is the night you become a legend… a UWC legend and a POW legend. You’re gonna need help carrying all that hardware man.

Dave finishes putting on his knee pads and reaches into his bag for his elbow pads and starts to put them on. Mike continues.

Mike: So what’s your game plan tonight?

Dave: Same as every night man… win. By hook or by crook… I’m taking that title home tonight

Mike: (laughing) That’s my boy… that’s the attitude I’m talking about… that’s the old Dave… that’s Controversy Defined right there man… That’s why you’re part of the Family… that’s wh…

We here a voice from off screen

Voice: Excuse me?

The camera pans across to show Big Ci stood in the doorway. He has the UWC Extreme Championship proudly draped across his shoulder. He is dressed to compete.

Mike: … Oh… hey Ci… how’s it go…

Big Ci: Excuse me? What did you just say? That’s why he’s part of what?

Mike: … Oh yeah sorry man… old habits die hard I guess

Big Ci: Indeed they do. (to Dave) You ready?

Dave stands up and walks to Ci

Dave: Of course I’m ready

Big Ci: Good… the Horsemen (he emphasises the word for Mikes benefit) are 2 up tonight… I’m about to go out and make it 3… let’s go for the clean sweep tonight man

Dave: You’re damn right

Big Ci: I’m going into that ring in a couple pf minutes… and I’m gonna hand George Duke his ass… and then the referees gonna hand me his belt… but then I’ll be right there watching you and Stevens, bud. Good luck out there man.

Dave: You too bro… kick his ass yeah

Big Ci: No worries... do me proud.

Dave and Ci shake hands and hug. They separate and Big Ci goes to leave the room ready for his match. Mike shouts after him.

Mike: Ci…

Big Ci turns back

Mike: I just want to say… good luck out there tonight

Mike extends his hand to shake. Ci looks at Mike, Mikes hand, Dave, and back to Mike. He takes the hand shake firmly. Mike goes to separate but Big Ci hold on. He pulls Mike right to him and leans in to him. They are nose to nose as Ci speaks quietly. The camera zooms in for effect

Big Ci: Dave… is a Horseman. You and him tonight… is for one… night… only. That’s it. Do I make myself clear?

Mike: (gulping) Yeah

Big Ci: Good…

Ci lets go and Mike backs away. Ci looks back at Dave before turning back and walking out of the room ready to rumble ashe heads towards the entranceway. Mike looks partially embarrassed as Dave slaps him on the back, making him jump.

The scene fades to black

[Tito Capaci]

“Out to get me" by Guns 'n' Roses tears through the sound system as Big Ci emerges from the back, the UWC Extreme Championship gold strapped around his waist. The crowd erupts as he makes his way down the isle, high fiving and shaking hands. He gets to the ring and his smile fades, his face looks deadly serious. He climbs the corner and holds up his gold, vowing aloud to bring home the Unified Valor Title.

Pilgrim: Big Ci looks to in top shape tonight. We’ll see if he can get the upper hand in this unification rematch.
Almanti: I’ll save you some time. No, no he can’t.

The lights dim down as several trumpeters dressed in royal garb line the walkway. They loudly play a Royal Fanfare, before dropping their trumpets and raising their swords. “God Save the King” pipes through the speakers and George Duke emerges from behind the curtain, dressed in a long flowing robe and jeweled crown. He carries a scepter and struts down the isle, mocking the Queen as he waves timidly at the angry crowd. He steps into the ring and opens his robe, revealing the Valor Championship Title and his Queen Victoria II airbrushed cast.

Pilgrim: You know, I’m not from the UK, but even I feel a little bit offended by what I’m seeing.
Almanti: Isn’t there a special award we can give George Duke for this?

He hands off the gold to an assistant and winks at an enraged Ci while he hangs up the robe and crown in the corner. Big Ci jumps the gun and charges at George from behind, driving him headfirst into the turnbuckle. The crowd counts along as Ci rams Duke’s head into the pad.

Ci rears back one more time, but throws George over the top and to the outside. Duke crashes to the floor hard, and the crowd erupts. The Valor Champion slides in timidly and heads for the referee. Ci waits calmly as George feigns injury to the referee, begging him to reprimand Ci for his trip over the top. After much complaining, the ref gives in and reminds Ci of the rules. With Ci distracted, Duke charges, blindsiding Ci with a running knee in the spine. Ci goes down, and George stays on top, stomping away at Ci’s neck. The referee finally pushes George away, giving him a scolding of his own. Ci gets to his feet and both men meet in the center of the ring, standing toe to toe. They stand, staring for a few moments, before George strikes first. Ci is ready for him, and takes him to the mat with a headlock takedown. Ci jumps to his feet and drops back down with a legdrop. George jumps to his knees and moves a few feet forward before dropping again and rolling out of the ring. The referee stops Ci from following, but George reaches inside and drags Ci out by the leg. The two exchange blows all around ringside, while the referee begins his count.

George has started to gain the upper hand, delivering a few stiff jabs, causing Ci to stumble back a bit. George rears back and delivers the death blow, but Ci moves, and Duke drives a fist directly into the ring post. He shouts as he cradles his wounded appendage.

Ci grabs Duke by the hair and hurls him over the guard rail, into the front row. Ci rolls into the ring and back out again, to break the count. Duke is on his feet, and trying to climb back ot ringside. Ci gives him a hand, pulling him forcefully by the arm, flipping the champion over the rail and to the floor. He rolls Duke back inside and follows.

Pilgrim: This match is getting pretty extreme for a Valor title Match!
Almanti: Well, he is the Extreme Champion, Pilgrim.

Duke is waiting for him, unceremoniously crowning Ci with his cast. Ci goes down and Duke pulls him back up to his knees with a handful of hair. He delivers a flurry of fists to Ci before rearing back. His arm fires off like a rocket, driving the cast into Ci’s head. He goes down to the mat while the referee warns George about the blatant use of his cast. George spits on the mat and brings Ci back to his knees again. Ci has been busted wide open, a thick stream of crimson cascading down his face. George laughs as he rubs Ci’s face all over the cast, spreading the blood all across Victoria’s face. Ci falls back to the mat, but uses the ropes to get up. George responds by kicking him in the ribs. Ci nearly goes down again, but George grabs him and sets him up – Piledriver! He hooks the leg for the cover.

1!
2!

Ci kicks out and George curses openly. He locks on a headlock, using the cast to apply extra pressure. After a while, Ci goes limp.

The referee raises Ci’s arm – it falls.
He raises it a 2nd time – it falls again.
He raises it for the 3rd and final time – it fall-no! Ci’s arm shoots back up straight as the crowd explodes. Ci gets to his knees, George, confused, wrenches harder, bringing Ci back to the mat. Big Ci again begins to get up, this time George is unable to bring him back down. Ci gets to his feet and delivers a stiff shot to George’s gut to break the headlock. Ci rears back and delivers a big roundhouse. George stumbles back a bit. Ci fires off another, and George is up against the ropes. Ci leans back and throws a monster powerhouse punch, this time sending George over the top and to the apron. George gets to his feet and Ci grabs him by the hair and slams his skull into the post. George falls to the floor, pulling down his King’s robe and crown in the process. Duke lays flat on the floor, unmoving, covered with the fallen robe. Ci picks up the crown off the mat and throws it into the audience. The referee once again reprimands Ci while Duke begins to stir on the floor. When George emerges, blood is pouring from his face, leaving thick drops all over the floor and apron as he quietly returns to the ring. He charges again, blindsiding Ci with a knee to the back. Duke brings Ci to his feet and delivers a swinging neckbreaker. He lifts him up again and repeats with another. He brings Ci up again and delivers a piledriver. George locks on The Duke Lock!

Pilgrim: Ci is in trouble now! He could have his spine snapped in half!
Almanti: Hey, then he gets to park close to the arena!

Ci is fading fast, but manages to slide a foot onto the bottom rope to break the hold. Instead of breaking the hold, George leans back harder. The referee begins his count.

1!

Duke lets go and bows graciously to the jeering crowd. He lifts Ci up and delivers a gutwrench suplex, landing him in the center of the ring. Duke climbs to the top rope and leaps with a Flying Headbutt, but Ci moves and Duke drives his skull into the canvas. Both men are down and the referee begins to count once again.

Ci is crawling to the ropes. George starts to push himself up, but falls flat again.

Ci is up! He moves toward Duke and brings him to his feet. He delivers a stiff Knife-edge chop, the crowd responds with “Whoo!”. He delivers another – another “Whoo!” Duke throws a few Fred Sanford jabs before falling to his knees. Ci brings him up again and Evenflow DDT! He makes the cover.

1!
2!

George kicks out, but it was close. They get to their feet and George throws a punch that hits nothing, and Ci delivers a stiff lariot. George goes down again. Ci goes to follow up, but gets clocked in the skull again with the cast. George gets to his feet and kicks Ci. Ci rolls away and gets up as well. Both champions lunge at eachother, tearing into one another like wild animals. The referee tries in vain to gain control of the situation, but gets himself crushes in the corner for his efforts. The ref slumps to the mat, hurt. Both men continue brawling, but noticing the ref is down, George lands a knee to the groin. Ci stumbles back a bit and George readies himself for a big punch. Ci responds first and delivers a sharp uppercut. George stumbles backwards and topes over the ropes. Duke clutches the top rope for support, but ends up hanging himself in the ropes! His legs kick wildly as the blood cascades down his body and all over the ropes. Ci climbs to the middle turnbuckle and jumps down with a double axe-handle smash. The force of the blow pushes George out and down to the floor. Ci steps outside and charges at George, who counters with a backdrop on the floor. The Valor Champion rolls inside and waits for Ci to return. When he does, he is waiting with the scepter – he smashes it into Ci’s skull, sending pieces of it flying everyway. Ci falls like a tree, out cold. Duke shakes the referee awake before making the cover.

1!

Pilgrim: Oh no! This is disgusting!

2!

Alamanti: Oh Yes! This is brilliant!

The referee stops short, spying the shattered scepter, noting pieces of it in Ci’s hair. He immediately gets to his feet and calls for the bell.

Pilgrim: George Duke has been disqualified! In Valor Title rules, the title will change hands!
Almanti: Noooooo!

George throws a tantrum as Ci offers the handshake he promised. Big Ci looks around wondering if he should take the hand of George Duke. The crowd is begging him not to do it, positive it's a trick.

Almanti: I can't believe that Big Ci is even thinking about taking Duke's hand! What kind of moron is he?

Pilgrim: It's not moronic, Tony. It's called sportsmanship.

Big Ci is about to take Duke's hand and shake it to the dismay of the crowd when King Cobra slides in under the rope from the backside and spins George Duke around. Duke rares back for a punch, but Cobra blocks and levels a shot of his own! Duke throws another right, but it's blocked again by Cobra and Cobra lands a right hand of his own! Duke starts playing hardball and hits an eye poke and then drops down to one knee and nails a low blow. Before he can continue, security fills the ring and starts dragging both men backstage.

Almanti: And it looks like Cobra and Duke still have issues with one other here. I would love to see those two square off.

Pilgrim: And if I know Big Ci, he's going to to want there to be a rubber match between he and Duke.

Almanti: And if I know Duke, he's going to want his title back.

[Tito Capaci]

Backstage Shawn Stevens is walking towards the stage entrance as he passes the equiptment cases he hears a voice.

Voice: Good luck CHAMP.

"Champ" was said with a sneer as Stevens turns to see Rich Morrison sitting on one of the equiptment cases.

Shawn: What do you want?

Rich: Oh nothing, just here to wish you good luck. Quite a match for someone like you. Dave Hunter, another champion from another company. That's tough.

Shawn: Yeah we'll I'm planning on winning, unlike you.

Rich's head snaps up and he jumps to his feet.

Shawn: Oh, well that struck a nerve.

Rich: You know what, f**k you. I'm sick of your shit CHAMP. You know I was screwed tonight. But it doesn't matter because you and I have some unfinished business. So I'm actually hoping you'll win.

Shawn: Why? So I can beat you again? You forget last time?

Rich: Last time was what I said it was, a fluke. You couldn't beat me again.

Shawn: Really, well after I take care of Hunter, I'll give you whatever kind of match you want. I have no problem kicking your ass again.

Rich: There won't be an "again" Stevens. I'm taking my rightful spot as a champion so you have to things to worry about. Win tonight and then prepare yourself for Rich Morrison versus Shawn Stevens round two.

Shawn: Any time Rich, anytime.

Stevens turns and walks to the entrance way to go out for his match. Rich stares at him with his sly grin then starts to chuckle to himself as he turns and walks the opposite way.

[Tito Capaci]

The lights all around the arena go out as “Devotion and Desrie” hits and the stage lights up as Shawn Stevems walks out on to the stage. Stevens stands on the stage with a determined look on his face as the crowd erupts. He stands in the middle of the stage pumping his arms and looking to the crowd, shouting out to them.

Richard Huff: “And now making his way to the ring… from Chicago, Illinois… weighing in at 223 pounds… and he is the POW Midwest Heavyweight Champion, Shawn Stevens!”

Stevens walks down the ramp and he walks up the steel stairs and he enters in to the ring. He then climbs up a turnbuckle and he looks all around the arena as the crowd erupts. He leaps back down and he walks over to the ropes and faces the people. Stevens nods his head with a smile as he shouts out to the crowd.

AP: Stevens has been unbeatable since winning that belt here.
TA: Yeah, alot of tough dudes have fallen at his feet.
AP: And his task tonight wont be easy as well

“You KNow My Name” hits as the lights around the building flash and Dave Hunter walks out on to the stage with Mike McManus right behind him. He has the UWC International Championship over his shoulder as he stands on the stage and he looks around the building, which is BOOO'ing him. He slaps the title a couple of times and then points all around the arena with a grin on his face.

Johnny Hartside: “And now making his way to the ring, accompained by Mike McManus… from Whiston, Merseyside, UK… weighing in at 284 pounds… and he is the UWC International Champion, Dave Hunter!”

Dave walks down the ramp and he enters in to the ring. The ref stands between the two men as Stevens stands back in his corner. Dave walks over and he climbs up a turnbuckle and he holds the title up high. He then leaps back down and he walks over and he walks over to the ropes. Mike McCain holds the title up high as Mike claps him on from the outside..

AP: Mike didnt fair well earlier...hopefully this time is different.
TA: Your always negative with a jinx. Just sit there and be quiet
AP: Haha

The two men stand face to face, nodding in acknowledgement of each one's talents. They see the belts being held by the Manny Salazar, who hands the belts over to a handler. Salazar double checks both men, who are ready to go. Salazar calls for the bell!

Dave then nails Stevens with a hard elbow to the side of the head. Dave follows it up as he takes Stevens down with a snapmare. Dave then drops down and he hits Stevens with a dropkick to the back. Stevens holds his back in pain as Dave lifts him up to his feet. Dave whips Stevens in to a corner and Dave charges in and goes for a clothesline, but Stevens moves out of the way.

AP: Man, those boots in your face, they knock teeth loose.
TA: He makes them dropkicks look like a work of art.....please, give me a break!

Dave rolls out of the ring to get some distance as he drops down to the ground holding his chest. McManus talks to him, to re-group. Dave slowly gets up to his knees as Stevens stands in the ring looking out to him. Dave gets up to his feet and he looks in at Stevens and he slowly enters back in. Dave and Stevens meet in the middle of the ring and exchange a few words with each other, and Dave then catches Stevens with a poke to the eyes.

AP: This is frustrating Dave
TA: He'll keep his cool, thats why Mike is there

Stevens has it locked in as Dave rives in pain, trying to reach the ropes. Stevens tries to make him submit, but Dave doesnt. Finally as the ref checks on Stevens' hold, Mike quickly grabs Dave's hand and pulls him to the rope.

AP: Ah look at that
TA: What, that's his job...protect his client at all costs
AP: No he should win on his own

The ref instructs Stevens to break it, and he does...but focus on McManus, who is yelling at the fans. He reaches over the ropes and grabs him by the coat and drags him up and flips him in the ring.

THE WINNER AND STILL POW MIDWEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: Shawn Stevens

"Devotion and Desire" plays as an exaughsted Stevens is handed both titles while he bows on his knee's and smiles, sweating. The fans are taking pictures and cheering his name as he thanks them.

TA: This is such injustice
AP: Your so blind it's sad.

Dave helps Mike up and drags him up the ramp and to the back as Mike just has that pissed off face on, but Stevens doesn'tt care as he just points his finger in the No position. Stevens then gets on the post, holding the titles up, embracing the fans before he leaves and heads up the ramp.

AP: The Stevens era continues in the Midwest
TA: Unfortunately

[Tito Capaci]

The jumbotron flips on and shows a split screen with one still shot of Tito Capaci on the left and a shot of FDCM on the right. The crowd cheers as this picture flicks off to show highlights of their first match, a draw for the UWL World Heavyweight Championship. It then shows highlights of their second match for the UWL World Heavyweight Championship, a match in which FDCM won. It then shows clips from Capaci vs. FDCM III, which Capaci won. The screen shows a huge explosion and when the smoke clears, CAPACI VS. FDCM IV is shown on the screen.

[Tito Capaci]

Alex Pilgrim: THIS...is the match we've been waiting for all night. We've had countless unifactions thus far, but now, is the ULTIMATE unification!

Tony Almanti: HELL YEAH! Wait...which unification is this?

Alex Pilgrim: (sighs) It's to create the ultimate POW Champion. Neither of them are POW champions in the official sense, but they have been dominant elsewhere.

Tony Almanti: So who are they?

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

Richard Huff: Your first competitor of the night! The last UWL Champion of Champions! With a trove of girls who all know how great he truly is, FLYING DIAMOND CUTTER MAN!

Tony Almanti: WHOA, Flying Diamond Cutter Man! So...that means that his opponent is...

The lights dim down a near candlelit dimness as "The Maine Theme" from the Godfather begins to play. "The Sicilian Badass" makes his way to the top of the ramp with the UWC Championship around his waist. He smirks at the crowd, brushes off some fictitious lint on his shoulder and walks to the ring. Tito Capaci pulls the belt off of his waist and holds it up with one hand while hopping up onto the second rope. He points to the belt and the audience cheers for their favorite company's owner. Tito Capaci hands off his belt to Benny Lawson who now holds both of them in their glory up for the crowd to cheer for. Benny Lawson hands the belts off to a ring attendant at the side while Tito Capaci takes off his jacket and adjusts his suspenders.

Richard Huff: And your second competitor. The man who OWNS Power On Wrestling, the last reigning UWC Champion. THE SICILIAN BADASS! TITO CAPACI!

Alex Pilgrim: So you finally got it? This is to crown the greatest Champion in POW History! These two gods...no, Titans clash in this ring tonight to see once and for all who deserves the title of "Greatest Damn Wrestler in the Business Today"

Tony Almanti: So it's for the "GDWBT" Championship?

Alex Pilgrim: SHUT UP!

Benny Lawson calls for the bell!

Former UWL Heavyweight Championship/UWC Heavyweight Championship Unification Match
Former UWL World Heavyweight Champion Flying Diamond Cutter Man vs. UWC World Heavyweight champion Tito Capaci

Pilgrim: And let's get this thing started!

The two men circle each other, sizing one another up. Tito goes to lock up with FDCM, but fdcm steps back shaking his finger at Tito. Tito goes for another lockup, but FDCM backs up once more laughing at his opponent. Tito goes for a third, this time with a smile, as fdcm tries to back up, but backs into the turnbuckle letting Capaci get hold of him. Tito pulls fdcm out of the corner and then slams him against the turnbuckle a couple of times before letting a nasty chop hit fdcm in the chest. fdcm clutches his chest and tries to get away, but Tito slams him back into the corner and proceeds to choke fdcm out. Before Lawson can break it up, fdcm knocks Tito's hands from his throat and headbutts the boss in the face. Tito steps back, and then slaps fdcm in the face.

Tony Almanti: Where the hell's the respect? You'd think there would be some professional courtesy, but noooooo.

Alex Pilgrim: I think they'd both rather just win.

fdcm steps back into the corner with a cocky flourish and then hops up onto the middle rope. Capaci sees this and backs across the ring with a smile and a "bring it on" hand gesture. fdcm hops down from the turnbuckle and slowly advances across the ring, scratching his chest where Tito earlier went to work. fdcm slows down as he nears the boss. Tito tries for another shot, but fdcm ducks it and comes back with a couple of quick jabs, finishing off with a flourish combo. fdcm grabs hold of Tito's head and tries to hit an early diamond cutter, but Tito pushes him off and then grabs onto fdcm's midsection from behind. fdcm fights as Tito tries to bring him back in a german suplex. Finally, fdcm wins out by hooking his leg around Tito's. He then reaches back and grabs onto Tito's head, bringing him down with a jawbreaker. Tito bounces off and lands on his back on the mat clutching his jaw and neck. fdcm pulls Tito up to a sitting spot by his hair and then puts his knee into the back of Tito's head while pulling him back with a modified facelock. Tito reaches out with his leg and barely sits it onto the ropes. Benny Lawson forces fdcm to release the hold after the count of four. Tito stands up, massaging his jaw once more.

Alex Pilgrim: Looks like FDCM isn't going to hold anything back against the boss.

Tony Almanti: Would you?

Alex Pilgrim: I guess not if it were something like this on the line, but he also signs my paycheck, heh.

FDCM tries to whip Capaci into the ropes, but Capaci counters, sending fdcm into the ropes instead. fdcm tries to leap off and hit Tito with something that's probably another diamond cutter, but Tito grabs hold of fdcm's head and brings it down onto his knee. Tito, looking disappointed that there's no blood yet, hoists fdcm up onto his feet and pulls him over in a german suplex, dropping him onto the back of his head. With a roll, Tito stands back up and pulls fdcm back over. This happens for a third time, and Tito then bridges fdcm over for a pin.

1...

2.NO...KICKOUT!

FDCM kicks out of the pin attempt just after the count of two and pulls himself free of Capaci's grasp. FDCM gets back to his feet while Tito gets back up as well, adjusting his suspenders. FDCM tries to go for another irish whip, but this time when Tito reverses it, he nails FDCM with a clothesline. Tito holds onto fdcm's arm and pulls him back up. Tito whips fdcm and then pulls him back, trying to hit him with another clothesline. fdcm ducks underneath it, and just as this happens, one of the Diamond Cutter Girls hops up onto the apron, forcing Lawson to go get her off of the ring. Taking the opportunity, fdcm jams his thumb into Tito's eye. With both arms now free, fdcm reaches up and nails Tito with a diamond cutter. Tito manages to shrug it off at the last second, but he still crashes into the mat. fdcm covers him for the pin as his vixen gets down from the ring apron.

1...

2...

KICKOUT!!

Tony Almanti: He kicked out a Diamond Cutter! That's the move fdcm excels at!

Alex Pilgrim: He didn't take the full force of the move, if he had, this match would surely be over.

Tito shakes the cobwebs loose as he tries to get back to his feet. An irate fdcm hops up onto the top rope and dives off after a moment's hesitation. He connects squarely with Capaci's head with a flying diamond headbutt. He rolls off of Capaci, not moving. Capaci moves a tiny bit in the ring, but is now laying still, breathing hard and clutching onto his face.

All of a sudden, fdcm leaps back to his feet laughing. He wanders over and picks up Capaci and tries to whip the boss into the ropes again, but Capaci counters it for a third time, sending fdcm into the ropes. Fdcm rebounds off the ropes and head toward Tito. Expecting something else, Tito gets nailed in the grill with a roaring elbow. Tito falls back into the ropes and bounces off to fdcm who nails him with a boot to the gut. FDCM runs back and bounces off the ropes, this time trying for his 'Running Diamond Cutter'. Expecting this, Tito sidesteps and grabs onto one of FDCM's arms. fdcm gets wrapped up into a hammerlock. Tito pushes down on fdcm's shoulder, increasing the pressure on the hold greatly. Before Tito can do anything else, fdcm reverses around Tito and pulls him into a hammerlock of his own, clubbing Tito on the back of the head. He then pulls Tito's arm around and locks Capaci's head, bringing him down in a dragon sleeper. Before Lawson can even check on Tito, "OH HELL NO" can be heard being shouted from Tito as he reverses the move into his own version of the dragon sleeper, the Sicilian Sleeper. FDCM gurgles as he starts to fade. Tito screams out "Dumb Fairy Ass" as he torques on FDCM's neck and fdcm fades altogether. Benny Lawson pulls up fdcm's arm and lets it go.

Lawson lifts fdcm's arm up for a third time, but FDCM skins the cat over Capaci and nails him with a knee in the face, dropping Tito from a low height. Tito clutches onto his face with open eyes as a trickle of blood squirts from his nose and lip. The blood, seeming to have revived him, forces Tito to get back to his feet while fdcm walks around groggily from the Sicilian Sleeper.

Tony Almanti: LOOK AT FDCM GO! Right...into...the turnbuckle...

Tito Capaci pushes fdcm into the corner face first, busting his lip open ever so slightly and then turns him around. FDCM readies another eye poke, but Tito grabs onto fdcm's neck and slams him down to the mat, choking him. With everything he's got, Tito puts his feet up onto the ropes while Benny Lawson begins the count. Finally, barely before the count of five, Tito lets go and covers fdcm for the pin with his feet up on the ropes while Lawson doesn't notice.

One of the Flying Diamond Girls gets back onto the ring apron and distracts the referee while another nails Tito in the crotch with a low blow. Tito rolls off of FDCM clutching his bejeweled area, eyes bugging out in pain. Benny Lawson finally forces the redhead off the ring apron and turns to see both men on the ground, holding onto various body parts in pain.

Tito shakes off the pain and lunges at FDCM, covering him up. Once again, Lawson goes for the pin.

KICKOUT!


Pilgrim: These two guys would rather die than lose this match, Tony.

Almanti: The would rather be embarrased than lose this match. Both of these men don't fear dying. It's image that drives these two. Make no mistake about it, Alex.

Tito decides to slow down the match and moves in and gets Flying Diamond Cutter Man in an abdominal stretch. Capaci is too tired himself to crank it really tight, but right now, both men are really feeling the effects of this match. Lawson asks FDCM if he's ready to concede and he gets a "no" response in the form of a spitball right in his face.

Pilgrim: I guess that means that FDCM still has a little fight left in him.

Almanti: Graceful under fire, Pilgrim. That's what I call it.

Tito gets a bit of a second wind and really cranks in that abdominal stretch. Lawson asks FDCM again if he wants to submit, but this time from a safer distance. FDCM refuses to quit and starts to inch toward the ropes. Capaci tries to hold him back, but FDCM won't be denied. Tito realizes it is going to be inevitable that FDCM is going to get to the ropes, so he simply releases the hold and FDCM, trying to move at full force toward the ropes jolts through the air like a rubber band being released, and actually falls through the ropes!

Pilgrim: And Tito being a smart veteran, saw the writing on the wall there!

Almanti: There is a lot of championship match experience in the ring right now. We're seeing the best of the best!

Tito rolls out of the ring and follows FDCM around one corner. He gets his hand on FDCM's shoulder and spins him around before delivering a knee lift to the gut of UWL World Champ. Tito follows that up with a big European uppercut that knocks FDCM back a few feet. Tito grabs FDCM by the hair and pulls him around another corner. He pulls back hard and whips FDCM into the announcer's table right in front of Pilgrim and Almanti!

Pilgrim: And Tony, we're right in the middle of the action now!

Almanti: These guys are bleeding for crying out loud and this is my good suit!

Capaci walks over and grabs FDCM's hair and pulls back, delivering his head face first into the announcer's table. He looks back and sees that Lawson is on seven on the count, so Capaci rolls in the ring to stop the count and then back out. As he approaches FDCM again, the Flying Diamond Cutter Girls have gotten between Tito and FDCM. Capaci, remembering the shot to the groin, flat out bitch slaps one of the girls, sending her flying and down to the floor. He points to another one and asks if she wants a piece, and she declines as the girls part like the Red Sea to get out of Capaci's way. FDCM was ready, however and flies out with a huge clothesline, sending Tito to the floor!

Pilgrim: And I love to root for my boss, but he just hit a damn woman and he deserves whatever he gets!

Almanti: That woman just spiked him in the nutsack a few minutes back, Alex. That was totally justified!

Pilgrim: It doesn't matter now because FDCM has retaken control of this match.

FDCM levels a hard right hand against Capaci's cheek. And another right. And another right. And then a left, and a right, and a left, and a right! FDCM backs up, spins around as Capaci staggers forward a bit and FDCM hits Capaci with a hard clothesline that FDCM goes down with for an easy choke on the POW owner.

Pilgrim: And FDCM has all the momentum at this point!

Almanti: Give it a few minutes.

FDCM is the one who looks up the referee and sees the count up around the eight mark. FDCM rolls in the ring and then back out. He immediately goes over to Capaci and picks him up. He body slams him hard on the announcer's table and then takes a spare microphone cord and wraps it around Capaci's neck, trying to choke him out. He can hear Lawson threatening to call the match, so FDCM takes the cord from Capaci's neck and drags him off the table. He gets Capaci to his feet and rolls him back in the ring.

Pilgrim: Finally! A resemblance to some order around here!

Almanti: I've said it before. Give it a few minutes.

FDCM gets Capaci to his feet and quick picks him up and drops him on his knee for an atomic drop. This isn't the first time Capaci's groin has been hammered, and he's starting to feel the long term effects of it. FDCM closes in for the kill. He tries to go for the Diamond Cutter, but Capaci sees it coming and shoves him off, but FDCM was dangerously close to landing it.

Pilgrim: And we almost crowned our first POW Wolrd Champion right there!

Almanti: No way. Capaci is the smartest cat in this company. He saw that coming the whole time.

FDCM comes back hard at Tito, but Tito sidesteps and hits a drop toe hold that sends FDCM face first into the top turnbuckle! Tito sees this as an opening and closes in quickly.

Pilgrim: And once again the tide has turned in favor of "The Made Man!"

Almanti: I told you to be patient!

Tito lifts FDCM to his feet and whips him into the ropes. As FDCM bounces off, Capaci catches him and nails his Capaci Capper! The fans in the arena go nuts as Capaci pops up and signals to the crowd that this is going to be the end!

Pilgrim: And Mr. Capaci is going for the Sicilian Silencer! NOBODY gets up from this!

Almanti: Get ready to crown our first POW World Champion!

Capaci grabs FDCM by the hair and lifts him. Capaci gets a handful of hair on both sides of the sides and bends down to FDCM's level and really lays on bragging and taunts. Tito whips FDCM's head under his arm to connect on his Siclian Silencer. He gets him up to the top of the veritical suplex portion and really hangs it there for show. As he brings it down, however, FDCM manages to spin all the way around catches Capaci's head and NAILS a Diamond Cutter! The crowd goes crazy as Benny Lawson is as surprised as anyone to see FDCM flopping one arm across the chest of Capaci!

Pilgrim: WHAT A MOVE! FDCM MAY HAVE JUST PULLED THIS DAMN THING OFF!

Almanti: Unbelievable move! How did he manage to reverse that! That was CRAZY!!!!!

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

The crowd goes crazy as the Flying Diamond Cutter girls storm the ring with confetti raining down from above. Capaci is still out cold, and FDCM is dehydrated and having trouble getting to his feet.

Pilgrim: What a match between two absolute legends!

Almanti: Well, FDCM just added to his legacy securing a huge victory at SuperMania, no doubt. I'm sure Tito will not be happy with this result!

Pyro starts to explode all over the arena and fans are booing or cheering the new POW World Champion. Lawson hands FDCM both the UWC and UWL World Heavyweight Belts which FDCM throws one over each shoulder. Lawson then takes the brand new POW World Heavyweight Championship Belt and hands it to him. FDCM drops down to his knees holding the new title high above his head and looking to the stars as the scene begins to fade away.

[Tito Capaci]

As the pyro's continue to go off live, the scene fades to black as the final video montage begins to play with "Memory Will Never Die" by Default


I whisper in your ear
The words you want to hear
We see Lance Erikson, Josh Eagles and Hannibal walk down the ramp respectively
You feel the wind and it reminds you
It happens everytime

You stop and close your eyes
You can't deny what lives inside you
We see Alex Pilgrim, Tony Almanti, Greg Gold and Doc Williams laughing at the announce table
Well I know it's hard to see
What is meant to be

When yesterday is so far behind you

Deep inside your soul knows I'm always there
We see Hannibal slap Josh Eagles, only to return it

You made me believe the day you surrender to me

The memory will never die
The love that you gave
We see Simon Winters burning midnight Felon with his cigar
I'll never throw it away
The memory will never die



Now the video changes over to "Blown Away" by Breaking Benjamin to show the action of SuperMania III.


They fall in line
One at a time
We see Kaleb Shadix dropping Showtime with his finisher
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose

We've got to move
Steady your hand
We see Morrison and Holmes slugging it out
(I am losing sight again)

Fire your guns
It's time to run

Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
we see Dave nail Mike McManus by accident as Shawn Stevens ducks.
After the fall
We'll shake it off

Show me the way


Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
We see Lance Erikson kick Lestat down
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all



There's nothing left
So save your breath
We see Flying Diamond Cutter Man give Tito a Diamond Cutter
Lying in wait
(Caught inside this tidal wave)

Your cover's blown
No where to go
We see Hannibal gives Josh Eagles a low blow
Holding your fate
(Loaded I will walk alone)


Fire your guns
It's time to run
We see Eddie Buchalini E Kick Mr.J off the apron
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall

We'll shake it off
Show me the way
We see Shawn Stevens roll up Dave Hunter for the win


Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
We quickly see a vision of all the winners, either posing on the ramp or holding their titles up in the ring.
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all

[Tito Capaci]
