The Road to Americana 6-29-07

[Tito Capaci]

"They're Coming to America" by Neil Diamond begins to play as the crowd in the Star Pavilion at the Ameristar Casino in Kansas City, Missouri stands to their feet as they get ready for "The Road to Americana!" The camera pans the crowd as they hold up signs for their favorite stars such as Big Ci, Reck Maverick and the rest of the Horsemen. There are also signs that show their displeasure of Royal Flush members. The camera stops on the broadcast team of Alex Pilgrim and Tony Almanti as they open up the show!

Pilgrim: The Ameristar Casino is electric here tonight folks as the fans...hell, all of us are pumped after a huge show in Dixie Slampede last Friday! I'm Alex Pilgrim, and Mr. Almanti, we had a huge event last week.

Almanti: Do doubt about it, Alex. George Duke decimated his longtime rival in Brock Hoyle. Silver and Lestat looked like a legit tag team title contender. The tag champs retained, and, of course, mixed results in the bitter feud between the Horsemen and Royal Flush.

Pilgrim: Lance Erikson walked away with Big Ci's Valor title to score a win for Royal Flush, but Kailus Holmes and Flying Diamond Cutter Man beat the team many thought was unbeatable in Rich Morrison and Kaleb Shadix. Shawn Stevens retained the biggest prize in POW's Midwest territory, but the biggest story of the night had to belong to the Reck Maverick and Josh Eagles, Tony.

Almanti: Reck Maverick came away with the big win and earned the right to go up against SSS at Americana. It could be the most anticipated match in Midwest Heavyweight Title history.

Pilgrim: And the hits just keep on comi...

Pilgrim is cut off by "The Godfather Theme." The crowd stands to their feet and the noise level jumps about four notches as Tito Capaci is met with a mixture of loud boos and loud cheers. He gets to the top of the ramp and smirks at the crowd.

Pilgrim: The boss man didn't have a scheduled appearance tonight, Tony. So I'm not real sure what to make of this.

Almanti: That's the best part about being the boss. He can do whatever the hell he wants!

Capaci makes it to the steel steps and climbs up with a cocky strut. He steps between the middle and top rope and pulls a microphone from his jacket pocket and looks over the crowd before addressing them.

Capaci: Ladies and gentlemen, wrestling fans....this week....pro wrestling has endured a horrible loss. After struggling with what to do for an extremely long time, I have decided that we must honor fallen comrades no matter how despicable their actions. And we suffered a huge loss. I believe we owe a moment silence to the memory of.....

Pilgrim: I Just don't know if I agree with this or not.

Almanti: I've been torn myself over this issue.

Capaci: The memory....of......Gem City Wrestling.

Pilgrim: WHAT!

Almanti: We've been thrown for a loop!

The crowd immediately cheers knowing what has just happened.

Capaci: That's right, folks. I have conformation that Gem City Wrestling, headed by Mike Money and Thomas Gunns has gone bankrupt. It's not all that surprising is it? They had a cage of gold for god's sake. So Midnight Felon.....BBK....congrats. You just walked out of Power on Wrestling and into the unemployment line.

The crowd gives a big boost for the POW owner.

Capaci: Money, Gunns....you guys had the heart. But you didn't have the brains. You had the Canadian Power Trip as your main draw? In the steel belt? The most hard-working, American people in the world and you try to draw with The Canadian Power Trip? He's not that great in the ring. He's not any good with a microphone. Hell, he's midcard!

Again, the the audience in attendance gives a big cheer.

Capaci: You had one draw. Just one that I could see. Hell, George Duke wasn't there this time around to bail your ass out. Your one and only draw was POW product, Lance Erikson.

The crowd takes a different course of action this time as it boos the Royal Flush member.

Capaci: You give him one chance to win gold and he walks out of your little two-bit company as the GCW State Champion. Well, well, well. Surprise, surprise. The one guy from POW that walks over to the inferior talent in GCW, walks out with one of your most coveted titles. Now, I'm not to hold grudges forever. And I know GCW was once a half-ass company. So I'm going to do the right there and take the high road. We're going to ring the bell for GCW. Definitely not for every time you guys got started punctually because we wouldn't get to ring the damn thing. You had, what? Four cards? We'll ring the bell for every card. And, I've devised a special sound just for GCW's, uh, funeral I guess we'll call it. So everyone would bow their head and give a moment of silence for ringing of the bell.

The crowd pipes down and gets quiet. Even Almanti is quiet for a change. Suddenly, over the PA system, the special "bell" is really Capaci's voice taped in his signature saying...

FUH-GET ABOUT IT!!!!!

The crowd erupts in cheers and laughter, but Capaci doesn't move. A small smirk does creep across his face, however.

FUH-GET ABOUT IT!!!!!




.....


FUH-GET ABOUT IT!!!!!








.......



FUH-GET ABOUT IT!!!!!


Capaci puts the microphone back in his jacket pocket and smiles as he starts to exit. The Godfather Theme plays over the PA system again as Almanti and Pilgrim take the program back over.

Pilgrim: And once again, Mr. Capaci gets us going one way and then changes directly completely.

Almanti: It's like faking a left jab and then coming with the right cross. It takes you by surprise, but this hurts a lot less.

Pilgrim: And it is true, we have official confirmation that Gem City Wrestling is indeed closed. GCW was a sticking point for Mr. Capaci.

Almanti: Midnight Felon and BBK tried to pull a fast one on Mr. Capaci, but it blew up in their face. And now...they're back on th free agent list.

[Tito Capaci]

The areans glows blue lighting as "Resident Evil Main Theme" Marilyn Manson starts up. Oni walks out from the back with his head down and limp.

Pilgrim: And here comes Oni who has really made an impact since his, I don't know...personality change?

Almanti: I guess that's what it's called.

As Oni walks a slow pace to the ring his head just swings side to side slightly. Oni walks up the stairs and climbs in between the ropes. Once he's in the ring he suddenly throws his head back and spews a red substance in the air. His head then falls back down limp like as he waits for his opponent to come down the ramp.

"South of Heaven" by Slayer begins to play as the arena goes fully black. The crowd is awed by the presence of the darkness and now seemingly thickness of the air. As red lights glow throughout the arena, Shadow and Saya make their way to the entrance, Shadow holding his sword.

Pilgrim: And Tony, Here is Shadow....one of the most intimidating men in pro wrestling today.

Almanti: He has the all the tools the scare the hibby-jibbies out of you, man.

Slowly, Shadow and Saya make their way to the ring. Before climbing the steel steps to the ring, Shadow hands his sword to Saya. He climbs in and stares at Oni. Tanner Dutton checks checks both men for weapons.

Pilgrim: We have two very disturbed individuals in the ring. This could get nasty.

Dutton is happy with what he sees and calls for the bell!

ding-ding

Oni vs. Shadow

Shadow and Oni lock shoulder to shoulder, but Shadow uses his 9 inch height advantage as well as heavier frame to push Oni into a corner. Shadow grabs Oni by the throat with both hands and starts to strangle Oni illegally! Dutton gives Shadow to the count of five, but Shadow releases just before the five count. He gives Dutton a short stare and then starts the choke over pushing with such force it looks as if Oni's back will break in two pieces over the top of the corner post! Again, Shadow releases just before the five count. He picks Oni up, Gorrilla press and power slams him in the center of the ring. Oni gets in a three point stance, legs and one hand, while the the other hand holds his back in pain.

Pilgrim: And Shadow is off to a nice start here early, dictating the match.

Almanti: So big. So strong. So agile. He's dangerous.

Shadow methodically makes his way over to Oni. He grabs Oni by the hair and instead of picking him, delivers a straight right hand that connects into the face of Oni. Oni drops back to his back, and rolls out of the ring to gather his thoughts.

Pilgrim: And a smart move by Oni to take a minute here to gather his thoughts.

Almanti: Yeah, get yourself collected, calmed down, and then go back for more.

Oni starts walking around the ring, trying to shake off the cobwebs. He turns around one corner, but doesn't see that Shadow has climbed the turnbuckle directly behind him. As he walks way, Shadow measures and times his leap, takes off and hits a huge top rope bulldog all the way to the floor on Oni!

Pilgrim: OH MY GOD! Did you see that!

Almanti: Holy hell! I did!

Shadow gets up. The impact didn't phase him a bit. He lifts Oni to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Saya cheers Shadow on as Shadow climbs the top rope yet again!

Pilgrim: Shadow has a number of moves from the top rope, but I wonder if he's going to try to end it with the Psychosault!

Shadow gets to the top raises his hands above his head, leaps high and nails his top rope mounsault and keeps it for the pin! Dutton slides into position and starts the count!

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


Pilgrim: Another big win for Shadow! He's been making some noise as of late, my friend.

Almanti: With all of his athletic abilities, he should be making some noise on the card.

Pilgrim: One has to wonder just how long it will be until..

Pilgrim is cut off by music coming over the PA system. It's "Breakout" by Bullets And Octane. The team of Silver and Lestat come running down the aisle to work over Shadow. The crowd goes nuts. They start hammering away at the monster with hard punches and kicks.

Pilgrim: And Lestat and Silver are here to avenge the bloody massacre of Showtime brought about by Shadow!

Almanti: The last time we saw Mr. Showtime was at SuperMania III as Lestat carried Mr. Showtime out after a brutal attack by Shadow.

Back in the ring, Lestat and Silver momentarily gain the upper hand on Shadow and double whip him into the opposite ropes. As he returns, Shadow uses his momentum and size to hit two vicious clotheslines...one with each arm. Saya, now inside the ring cheers as Shadow picks them both up by the throat and hits a double chokeslam. Both of them lie motionless on the mat as he asks for his sword from Saya.

Pilgrim: What the hell! Somebody stop this crap!

Almanti: Oh no. This isn't good.

The crowd's fear suddenly turns to hope as they cheer loudly and look toward the entrance way. Coming down the ramp on a single crutch is Mr. Showtime. Fire is right beside him begging him not to go down in his state.

Pilgrim: Mr. Showtime is back?

Almanti: I guess you could say that. He may be a Ferrari, but as you can see...he's got a bad wheel.

Mr. Showtime has a microphone in his free hand and talks to Shadow as he makes his way slowly down the ramp.

Showtime: Now Shadow, you don't want to do this. You want me. You don't care about Lestat or Silver. I'm the guy you've always wanted to get rid of, so you deal with me. Got it?

Shadow chuckles evilly and hands his sword back to Saya. He lifts Silver up and tosses him out of the ring. He does the same of Lestat. Mr. Showtime reaches the steel steps but realizes it's too much trouble. He throws his crutch in the ring, and uses his good leg to slide under the bottom rope. He works his way back to his feet, using his crutch.

Showtime: So now what? It's just me and you, Shadow. Are you going to beat up on a cripple now? Is that what you've come to, Shadow? You can't beat up on healthy people? I don't see you going after Shawn Stevens or Big Ci. You're going to come over and beat up a man on a crutch.

Shadow smile goes away as he starts making his way to Mr. Showtime. He stands tall over Showtime, and Showtime looks a little worried about the current state of affairs. Without warning, Shadow grabs Mr. Showtime by the neck to set up a choke slam. Mr. Showtime's eyes get real big and he kicks hard, right into the groin of Shadow! The crowd cheers as Shadow drops Mr. Showtime. Mr. Showtime grabs his crutch and wraps it against one of Shadow's knees, but Shadow doesn't fall. Showtime backs up a few steps and DRILLS a Season Ender superkick right on the button and sends Shadow flying out of the ring! Fire runs and nails Saya with a few hard shots, and Saya takes off up the ramp to get away. The crowd cheers as Showtime jumps up on the middle turnbuckle to the screaming fans.

Pilgrim: And POW is full of surprises today! There's nothing wrong with Mr. Showtime's leg!

Almanti: You got it right the first time, Mr. Pilgrim. Mr. Showtime is BACK! Fire, Lestat, Silver and Showtime all make their way to the center of the ring. Showtime takes the microphone he had to momentarily drop and brings it to his lips.

Showtime: This in the ring right now represents a new standard of wrestling. We are Society of Chaos. Silver and Lestat are welcome additions for Fire and myself. Power On Wrestling is now on notice that we're here and we're here to rain the chaos down on everyone and make no mistake about it......We are the whole damn show!

The crowd cheers loudly as Lestat and Silver hold up their hands, Fire strikes a sexy pose for everyone to enjoy, and Showtime climbs up a turnbuckle and holds his arms out for the crowd.

Pilgrim: And Power On Wrestling Midwest just got a hell of a lot more interesting!

Almanti: Mr. Showtime is back that means the highlight reel crew better have their workboots on!

Pilgrim: What next? Stay here, we'll be right back to find out!

[Tito Capaci]

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: And welcome back to POW's "The Road to Americana!"

Tony Almanti: Sweetness has arrived, we're getting closer to the ever anticipated Americana!

Alex Pilgrim: Damn right we are...wait, that's the first time I've heard you put out a serious sentence.

Tony Almanti: Yeah, thought I'd try it out, what did you think?

Eddie Jones appears in the crowd at the top of the lower level in a very Sandman-esque manner. Dangling from his mouth is a cigarette. He takes a puff and exhales before putting the cigarette back in his mouth. He stands at the top of the stairway and stares down into the crowd. He raises one of his arms high into the air. Eddie makes his way down the stairs slowly as the crowd both cheers and boos at him. He looks around at the crowd occasionally and takes an occasional drag from his cigarette as he descends the steps. Eddie stops a moment when he gets to the barrier and takes a final drag on his cigarette. He exhales and drops his cigarette to the ground and crushes it out with his foot. He climbs over the barrier and rolls under the bottom rope. Eddie Jones leans back up against the ropes waiting for Silver.

Richard Huff: And from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 240 pounds...EDDIE JONES!

Alright, by Art of Chaos kicks up over the crowd as Silver walks onto the stage. Silver takes little notice of the crowd as he walks slowly down the ramp, keeping his eyes steadily on Eddie Jones. Silver leaps up onto the apron and over the top rope, landing squarely in the ring.

Richard Huff: And from Angel Grove, California, weighing in at 180 pounds, SIR...SILVER!!!!!

Manny Salazar calls for the bell!

ding-ding

Silver vs. Eddie Jones

Silver slightly tilts his head to acknowledge Eddie Jones sitting on the ropes waiting for him, contemplating lighting up another cigarette. Eddie Jones hoists himself up off of the ropes and stands, facing Silver. Silver looks over at him with a blank stare while Eddie Jones stands there looking slightly annoyed with his eyes half closed. Manny Salazar rings the bell, beginning the match. Eddie Jones tries to lock up with Silver, but Silver backs away from the much larger man and leans back against the ropes. Eddie Jones smiles for a second and backs off into the center of the ring, mocking Silver. Silver steps off of the ropes and meets Jones in the center of the ring head on. The two lock up and Eddie Jones easily pushes Silver off of him, forcing him down to the mat. Silver gets back to his feet after tumbling away. Silver leaps to his feet, and at once, flies at Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones goes to lock up again, but Silver goes low and kicks in Jones' knee. Eddie crumples to the side and drops to his other knee. Silver aims another kick, but Eddie Jones catches it and lifts up, driving Silver back into the mat.

Tony Almanti: And he takes a knightly bow!

Alex Pilgrim: Okay...

Silver tries to roll back, but Jones keeps hold of his leg and gets back to his feet. Jones kicks Silver in the gut a couple of times before dropping his knee into the chest of Silver, crushing him and pinning him at the same time.

Silver kicks out just after the count of two and Eddie rolls off of him, letting Silver get back to his feet. Silver grips the ropes while clutching onto his chest in pain. Eddie Jones advances on Silver and takes a pot shot to Silver's face. Silver drops down to the second rope and tries to get back to his feet, but Eddie Jones helps him back up and suplexes him into the center of the ring. Silver lands hard in the center of the ring, still trying to get to his feet. Instead, Jones grabs hold of his arm and steps on Silver's chest.

Alex Pilgrim: Eddie Jones, trying to rip Silver's arm out of it's socket.

Tony Almanti: Can't weild a sword with one arm...

Alex Pilgrim: Shut up...

Silver screams out in pain and tries to break free, but everything he does just increases the pressure on his arm and chest. Silver reaches his foot up and kicks Jones in his lower back. Jones doesn't release the hold, but it gives Silver the opportunity to roll to his side and release a bit of the pressure. He then reaches over and pulls Eddie Jones' knee out from under him, dropping him down to the mat. Silver gets back to his feet, clutching onto his chest still. Eddie Jones gets quickly back to his feet but Silver aims another kick to his knee. Jones falls forward as Silver tries to mount Jones to deliver punishment. Jones manages to roll himself over and pull Silver down to the mat, covering him for a pin.

2...

Silver manages to kick out just after the count of two again and the two man get back to their feet, locked up in another tie up. Jones gets ready to push Silver back down again, but Silver uses the momentum and falls down to the mat with Jones in tow. Jones rolls himself over to avoid being posted into the mat, but Silver keeps him rolling and drives him onto his shoulders.

Tony Almanti: SILVER WINS! SILVER WINS!

The scene cuts to the back where Greg Kilgreen has caught up with a familiar face...Flap Flanagan! Both Flap and Alf are present.

Kilgreen: Flap, I have to say it's great to have you back in POW. Where have you been?

Flap: Duh, hanging out with my homies and drinking Dr. Pepper.

Kilgreen: Right...Um. Why did you come back?

Flap: My brother from another mother, Reck has the match of his life this month against that damnable Shawn Stevens. Moral support.

Kilgreen: Are you here for the long haul?

Alf: Hey, Gregory. Why don't cut the BS and show me to the nearest vending machine?

Flap: That's not nice, Alf. Yeah, I'm here for good. I'm full time again.

Alf: Greg? The vending machine.

Kilgreen: Down the hall, second door on the left.

Alf: Thanks.

Alf waddles off leaving Kilgreen with a confused look on his face.

Kilgreen: Anyway, Flap...What do you think the fut....

Yelling from the back{You flea-infested varmin! Out, out, out!

Alf tears out of a room, as fast as little short legs will let him and Fire follows him out holding a black lacy bra tight against her chest. She turns around to see the camera facing her way, gives a sexy little smile and quickly gets back into her lockerroom.

Kilgreen: I told him the second door on the left. That was the first door on the left.

Flap: That's my boy! I better go see what other trouble he can get into. If it's that kind of trouble, I want to be there too! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kilgreen manages a smile as Flap takes off after his furry alien friend.

[Tito Capaci]

“Life, Birth, Blood, Doom” by Black Label Society plays over the PA and Lestat steps through the curtain.

Richard Huff: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome… Anaheim California… Lestat!!!!!

He walks down the ramp and up to the steps, half the crowd supporting him, the other half a bit perplexed. He enters the ring and stands in the corner of the ring, awaiting his opponent.

“Trip like I do” replaces Lestat's song in the arena as Scott Lanegan steps out onto the stage. He walks towards the ring and enters it.

Huff: And his opponent, in the ring, from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 260lbs, Scott Lanegan!!!!!

He keeps his eyes on Lestat as he taunts towards the crowd.

Alex Pilgrim: Lestat and Lanegan ready to kick things off here

Tony Almanti: It wasn’t too long ago that Lanegan found himself on the losing end of a tag team match along with Eddie Jones, against Lestat and Silver. He’ll be looking for a measure of revenge, if nothing more, tonight Alex.

Tom McElvoy calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

Lestat vs. Scott Lanegan

The two lock up and the bigger Lanegan forces Lestat up against the ropes. The referee orders the break and it is made cleanly.

Pilgrim: Clean break from these two right there

The two move off the ropes and circle each other before tying up again. This time Lestat is quick to apply a wrist lock, which is then turned into an arm wringer. Lanegan attempts to duck under his arm to counter the hold. However, he is too tall to do this. He tries to fight the hold but it is clamped down on.

Pilgrim: Lestat in control now

Lanegan finally gives up the attempts to counter the hold and instead fires forearms to Lestat’s face, breaking the hold. He forces him back to the ropes and then Irish whips him to the other side. Upon his return he catches him with a back elbow, knocking him of his feet momentarily.

Almanti: Hard back elbow

Lestat stands up and is caught by a scoop slam from Lanegan, followed by an elbow drop and a cover.

Pilgrim: Trying to end this one early here

1…

2…

Kick out

Lanegan stand up and picks Lestat up with him. He Irish whips him again and bows his head for a back body drop. Lestat telegraphs it, though, and catches Lanegan with a hard kick, sending him staggering back. He kicks him hard in the gut and doubles him back over. He runs to the adjacent ropes and catches Lanegan with a running neck breaker. He makes the cover

1…

2…

Kick out

Lanegan kicks out this time and Lestat stands up quickly. He stomps Lanegan and then heads to the top turnbuckle as Lanegan starts to get up.

Pilgrim: Lestat going up top here

Lanegan is up and he turns around, groggily. As he turns to face Lestat’s corner, Lestat dives off the top rope with a cross body block. Lanegan, though, catches Lestat and throws him up onto his shoulder. He signals for a powerslam. Lestat shifts his weight, however, and counters it in to a reverse DDT. Both men are laid out on the mat as the referee (and the crowd) begins to count

1…

2…

3…

Pilgrim: Both men are down now. Can one man get to his feet before the count of ten or will they both be counted out

4…

5…

Almanti: This could be thrown out unless one of these men can find their bearings

Lanegan and Lestat both start to their feet

6…

7…

8…

Lanegan is up to a knee

9…

Lanegan is up with Lestat now kneeling. Lanegan goes over to Lestat and pulls him, up by the hair. He drags him over to the corner and places him on to the top turnbuckle. He begins to climb up after him, going for the super-plex. He attempts the move but Lestat attempts to fight it of. He connects with punches to the abdomen and pushes Lanegan off the ropes. As Lanegan gets up, Lestat stands up of the top rope. He attempts a second cross body and this time connects

Pilgrim: Caught him that time with the high risk manoeuvre

The momentum of the move, though, is so much that the two roll backwards and end up with Lanegan covering Lestat. He holds on to the legs tightly

Winner: Lanegan

[Tito Capaci]

The scene cuts back to George Duke knocking on the door of Capaci's office. As he knocks the door opens as it was not shut all the way. Capaci is busy on the phones, but quickly hangs up as he sees Duke make his way in the office.

Capaci: George. You're making these little get-togethers almost weekly meetings. I'm going to have to start charging a consulting fee before too long.

Duke: You said if I beat Big Ci I would get a shot at the Valor Title. I beat him fair in the square in the dog collar match. Now then, when do I get Erikson? Americana works for me. Thanks, boss.

Duke starts walking out of the office, but doesn't feel all is right as he hears Capaci laughing.

Capaci: You got it all wrong, Georgy-porgy.

Duke: What are you talking about? A deal is a deal!

Capaci: You didn't understand the stipulations of the deal. I said if you beat Big Ci, then you get to fight Big Ci again. That's what I said and that's what you're going to get. The fans love that match up for some reason.

Duke: But what good does that do me? I want my damn Valor title back! I'm the longest reigning Valor champ in history and I deserve a shot to regain my title! What ever happened to champions getting a rematch clause?

Capaci: I believe 100% that champions should get another shot at their titles once they lose them. But Big Ci is a former Valor Champ too, and he hasn't had his rematch yet either.

Duke: What are you getting you at?

The POW owner stands to his feet and makes walks around to the first part of his desk where he takes a seat.

Capaci: Next week, I make good on my deal I made with you. Next week, at "The Road to Americana" it's going to be George Duke vs. Big Ci one more time. Now where do you think I'm going with this?

Duke: I'm guessing the winner gets a shot at Lance Erikson at "Americana."

Capaci: Now you're thinking like a CEO.

Duke: Alright. I'll jump through your hoops. I'll play your little games. But at the end of the day...it's going to be me that's taking that title away from Lance Erikson!

Capaci chuckles to himself as Duke storms out of the office.

The show comes back to Greg Kilgreen who is standing next to Night. Night is wearing his AAA medallion that will grant him a title shot for any title in any territory at any time. Night has been out for the past couple of weeks, but is ready to return.

Kilgreen: With me is Night of Final Cut, and Night, you've been gone for a couple of weeks. What happened there?

Night: I had a concussion, but I'm back. I'm ready to kick some bitch-ass.

Kilgreen: Rumors have been circulating that you and Daye could be working on your singles career for the next little bit. What's going on there?

Night: We're both very talented. We've tagged for a long time, but it's time we got into the single business and made a name for ourselves as individuals.

Kilgreen: You've got a "golden" opportunity that rests around your neck right now. Any ideas on how you're going to use it?

Night: It's staying hush-hush until I bust the MFer out. I could use it on anybody at anytime. Shawn Stevens, Lance Erikson, Shadix, hell...I might go after JR Zevon over in POW New England. I hold the cards, and that's a damn fact.

Kilgreen: But do you have a plan on when and where you'll use it?

Night: I know everything, Kilgreen. Unlike you and the res of the bitches. Believe that.

Night pats Kilgreen on the shoulder before walking off.

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: It's a night of returns, ladies and gentlemen! First Mr. Showtime made a huge entrance and now Night says he's coming back as well!

Almanti: And he and Daye are going to try the singles route. And why not? Daye damn near became the POW Midwest Heavyweight Champion last week at Dixie Slampede and Night has a title shot to any title, in any territory, at any time!

As the sound of Electric Wizard and “Barbarian” drone through the speakers, El Gran Bárbaro pushes the curtains aside. Clutching his right wrist in his left hand, he slowly clenches his hand, baring his teeth as he does so.

Pilgrim: And here comes El Gran Barbaro in this three way hardcore match!

Almanti: All three guys have enough of a mean streak to make this match pretty damn entertaining!

Pilgrim: This guy, Barbaro....he's a damn beast!

Almanti: The muscle mass is ridiculous.

He begins his slow walk to the ring, ignoring the fans. Climbing up on the ring apron, he hands his cloak to a ringside attendant, and then jumps the top rope. He silently waits as Lights Camera Action by mr.cheeks begins to play over the PA system. Daye comes out and onto the stage and kneels down with a hoodie on.

Pilgrim: Daye almost stunned the world with a near upset at Dixie Slampede. He's looking to build on that success with a win here.

Almanti: A win over one of the tag champions and the ex-Valor champ would be a huge victory Daye.

After a few seconds Daye rises up and takes the hood off and makes a pose with both hands in a l position like a camera. Daye then then makes his way down the ramp trash talking on his way to the ring. Before he even makes it up the steps "Death Rides A Horse" plays loudly over the speakers as George Duke comes running down the ramp full speed pushing a shopping cart full of hardcore goodies. The crowd nuts seeing the spectacle that is George Duke!

Pilgrim: And the time for play is over!

Almanti: Let's get to it then!

Duke pulls a hair dryer out of the shopping cart and slides into the ring. Daye takes a step back, but Barbaro doesn't move. Tom McElvoy calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

HARDCORE MATCH
George Duke vs. Daye vs. El Gran Barbaro

Pilgrim: What the hell is he going to do with a hair dryer?

Duke yanks the electrical cord away from the hair driver itself and throws the hair dryer at Daye, distracting him and starts whipping Barbaro with the electrical cord....prong side up!

Almanti: Son of a....

Barbaro gets backed into the corner, but comes charging hard at Duke and takes him down. Daye has gotten out of the ring and starts rummaging through the shopping cart. Barbaro continues pounding Duke from the full mount position. He gets up and gets Duke to his feet. He picks him up with two hands by the neck and throws him into the corner showing his brute strength. He gets his foot up high and starts choking Duke in the corner with his boot. There is nothing illegal, so McElvoy stands and watches.

Pilgrim: Barbaro is really taking it to the once Valor Champ here.

Almanti: Hardcore is Duke's specialty. He can take the pain, I promise.

Daye has found the weapon of choice and slides back in the ring. It's a 12 inch mini-TV and he slams it over the head of Barbaro, shattering the screen glass all over the ring floor! The crowd goes nuts as Barbaro drops in a heap on the shards! Daye immediately drops down for a pin!

1......



2......


But it's broken up just before the three count with a flying frog splash of the top rope from the 270 pound George Duke! Daye and Barbaro are both hurting as the broken glass shards are starting to cut up all three men.

Pilgrim: Damn it! We're seeing some big time hurt in there tonight! What a frog splash from George Duke!

Almanti: Frog Splash? That was more like a belly flop.

Duke is the first one to get his wind and puts an arm over Daye. McElvoy starts the count!

1....




2.....



KICKOUT!!!

Duke shakes it off and gets to his feet. He takes the hair dryer and slams it over Daye's head, busting it into several small pieces. Daye drops like a rock again and Duke goes for the cover again.

1......



2.....


But Barbaro tugs on Duke's legs and pulls him out of the ring to the arena floor!

Pilgrim: And great alertness from the Manos Del Muerte member.

Almanti: It's on like Donky Kong now, brother!

Barbaro throws a hard right hand that moves Duke back, but Duke fires back with a right hand that stuns Barbaro. Barbaro fires back and connects with Duke. Duke comes back with a punch of his own and it also catches flush. Barbaro goes with a flurry of punches that keeps moving Duke back and back and back until he reaches the guardrail on the far side. He takes Duke's feet and lifts him up over the guardrail and into the stands! Barbaro turns around just in time to see Daye running full speed, pushing the cart pins Barbaro up against the guardrail with a thundering clap!

Pilgrim: No mercy here! Daye is really using the weapons to his advantage here!

Almanti: He's got the mean streak we were talking about earlier, no doubt. And a chip on his shoulder after losing to SSS last week.

Daye pushes the cart aside and gets to Barbaro. He hits a hard knee to the gut before whipping and throwing Barbaro into the steel steps shoulder first. Daye poses to the booing crowd, which was a mistake as George Duke has gotten a chair from an unsuspecting spectator and waffles Daye across the back with it. The impact drops Daye to knees as he holds his back. Duke then has a perfect baseball swing that connects against the back of Daye's head, dropping him to the floor. Duke sees Barbaro standing and takes a swing at him, but Barbaro ducks under the attack and picks up with an inverted side suplex that drops Duke, forehead first on the corner of the steel steps and Duke is now busted wide open!

Pilgrim: Oh God! What impact! That could have killed it! George Duke may have just By-GOD DIED with that shot! Barbaro goes for a cover and McElvoy drops down and goes for the cover on the arena floor!

Save by Daye with a forearm to the back of the head!

Almanti: Yes! Keep this thing going!

Daye struggles to his feet and fires a right hand with not much behind it. Barbaro sidesteps it and catches Daye with a hard tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam on the concrete floor that grabs the fans attention! Barbaro goes for the pin and McElvoy is there for the cover!

KICKOUT by Daye!

Pilgrim: I don't know that is match is ever going to get back inside the ring!

Almanti: Who wants it to?

Barbaro gets to his feet and gives some hard boots to Daye while he's on the ground. Daye covers up, but the boots are still getting through. Barbaro stops suddenly, however, when the bicep of George Duke connects with the groin with a monster low blow from behind!

Almanti: Perfectly legal here baby!

Pilgrim: You're damn right, anything goes, but how is George Duke even breathing after that vicious shot on the steel steps?

Duke gets to his feet and pulls up his tights a little bit taking some deep breaths. Daye starts to get up as well. Duke reaches over into the shopping cart and pulls out a broom. He snaps the wooden handle over his knee and uses the rod to strike Daye repeatedly in the body and head. He turns to see Barbaro coming at him and wheels and strikes Barbaro with it as well. The shot sends Barbaro over near the ring. Duke follows him and pushes him in and slides in after him. Once on his feet, Duke swings at Barbaro, but Barbaro blocks it and connects with a lunging forearm to the bloody face of Duke, making him reel backwards toward the corner. Barbaro follows it up with a monster splash in the corner. As Barbaro comes out of the corner, Duke takes three forward and falls flat on his face. Barbaro goes for the pin and McElvoy is back in the ring for the count!

KICKOUT!

Pilgrim: God these guys don't understand quit!

Almanti: Gluttons for punishment...all of them....and we LOVE them for it!

Barbaro stands up and looks around the ring to signal this is. He lifts up Duke into a gorilla press and is about to go for his gorilla press into a powerslam finishing move, but before he can drop Daye dropkicks him in the back. Barbaro drops Duke before falling forward catching himself in the ropes. Daye comes forward connecting with some hard punches to the face of Barbaro. Daye whips Barbaro to the opposite ropes and as he returns he blasts him with a superkick that drops Barbaro cold. Daye move in for a pin, but Duke flies in with a monster swinging neckbreaker from the side as they both land on the broken shards of TV screen, cutting their bodies even more!

Pilgrim: Man, these guys are really going after it!

Almanti: They've tall taken this much punishment....might as well win the damn thing!

Duke gets up, picking out some of the shards of glass that have stuck into his skin. He doesn't even notice the blood. He walks over to Daye and tosses him out of the ring. He finds the extension cord that is laying in the ring and walks over to Barbaro. He wraps it around his neck and his going to try to choke him out! The crowd cheers, hoping Barbaro with submit, but no motion from Barbaro when McElvoy asks. Then Duke starts to take off Barbaro's mask!

Pilgrim: No, Duke! This is going to far!

Almanti: No more secret identity for this luchador!

Duke is starting to make progress as Barbaro really starts to struggle, but Duke still has the extension cord wrapped several times over around his neck. Just as Duke is about to get the mask off, Daye comes flying into the ring from the top rope with a cross body block on Duke! He keeps it for a pin!

KICKOUT BY DUKE!!!

Pilgrim: Dear Lord!

Almanti: Not done yet!

Barbaro quickly works on getting the mask tied back on correctly as Duke and Daye start slugging it out in the ring. Daye charges in and hits a huge running clothesline that sends Duke over the top rope to the delight of the crowd. Daye turns around, but Barbaro has gotten mask fixed right and hits a big boot right in the face of Daye. Daye drops to the ground, but Barbaro picks him right back up and hits a running power slam on the broken shards of TV screen that have by now spread over most of the ring. He keeps the slam for a pin!

KICKOUT BY DAYE!!!!

Pilgrim: This is turning into a matter of willpower for these warriors!

Almanti: Great action. Blood....everywhere!

Barbaro shows no frustration as he uses Daye's hair to get him back to his feet. He gives Daye a hard forearm strike to the nose backing up to the corner. He picks up the electric cord from what use to be a hair dryer and starts whipping Daye in the corner. He gives several hard whips in before Duke comes in with the chair! Barbaro turns just in time to see the Duke coming with the chair and ducks under it, but the arc of the chair is right in line with Daye's head and the chair shot splits Daye's head open right above the left eye! Barbaro quickly grabs Duke from the behind and hits a side suplex, forcing Duke to drop the chair. Duke grabs his back in pain while he stands as Barbaro closes in. As Duke gets to his feet Barbaro goes for a standing drop kick, but Duke steps to the side and Barbaro whiffs! Barbaro is now grabbing his back in pain from both the mat and the broken glass. Duke picks up, twirls him around and piledrives Barbaro headfirst on the chair! McElvoy gets in position as Duke goes for the pin!

Pilgrim: That has to be it!

Almanti: It has to be!

ANOTHER SAVE BY DAYE!!!!

Pilgrim: I can't belive it! I really can't believe it!

Almanti: What a freaking match!

Duke is extremely annoyed at this point and gets up in a furor. Daye goes for his Dayebreak superkick, but Duke catches the leg tugs it hard so that Daye falls on his butt and drops a headbutt right on the family jewels. Duke kicks Barbaro out of the ring and picks the chair back up. He drills Daye over the head with the chair....and then places it on his head?

Almanti: He's got it won, Alex. What the hell is he doing?

Pilgrim: No clue.

Duke climbs to the top rope and cusses to the fans before leaping and hitting a flying headbutt on the chair on Daye's face! Both men take heavy damage and the bleeding is getting excessive for both men! Duke is laid out, Barbaro is on the arena floor, and Daye is out cold as well! McElvoy starts his standing 10 count!

Barbaro is late for the save!

Pilgrim: George Duke has done it! He's done it!

Almanti: What a match! George Duke continues to win the bloodiest battles in POW history!

Duke rolls over on his back and Barbaro just lies on his stomach. Daye is still out cold. All the men are exhausted and damaged. But the crowd is cheering all three men they normally don't because of the savageness and down-right guts they just displayed.

Pilgrim: This is going to take a bit to clean up, but we have something going on in the back!

[Tito Capaci]

The show returns in Tito Capaci's office. The KC Dudes walk in, dejected. They know the deal they made before Dixie Slampede and they lost....they're suppose to be fired. Capaci looks up from his paperwork and sits back in his chair. folds his hands and looks at them, but they won't even look up.

Capaci: Guys, if you don't mind, remind me what the deal was going into Dixie Slampede.

KC Bad Boy: Well, um..I think it was...if we lost...we got fired or something.

Capaci: Oh yeah. That's right. If you lost, you got fired. What happened in that match with Manos Del Muertes for the tag titles?

KC Mad Man: WE kinda....lost.

Capaci: Ahh. Yeah, that's right. I remember now. I guess that means you guys are fired, right?

KC Bad Boy: Mr. Capaci, can we have just one more chance? I mean, we had to knock off the ring rust, right? That wasn't really fair to put is in after such a long layoff.

Capaci: Are you making excuses?

KC Bad Boy: It's not that really...I mean....it is, but please, please, please! One more chance!

Tito gets up from his chair biting his lip. He walks over to a wall and pretends to read awards and plaques and that he has earned over the years.

Capaci: I tell you what...I'm a man with a heart and maybe you can fair better in your own hometown. So how about this. Next week, you get one more chance. The Kansas City Dudes against Silver and Lestat.

The camera picks up the crowd cheering from the arena as they watch on the big screen.

Capaci: Same deal. You lose, you're fired. But, the winner gets a shot at MDM at Americana.

KC Mad Man: Thanks Mr. Capaci! We won't let you down!

Capaci: You're damn right, you won't let me down. If you get fired, I don't give a damn. You need to be more concerned with letting yourself down. You actually care if you keep this job.

KC Mad Man: Right.

The two Kansas City locals get up and walk of Capaci's office happy to be around at least one more day. As the camera fades back to the arena, Capaci can be heard mumbling under his breath...

Capaci: Local hillbillies....damn.

[Tito Capaci]

[Tito Capaci]

The show comes back from commercials as the crowd cheers loudly, anticipating the main event.

Pilgrim: Welcome back to "The Road to Americana!" This is the biggest main event in "Road to" history, no doubt about it!

Almanti: Eight of the top superstars, I won't even say in this company, I'll say in this business, are about to get it on right here in Kansas City in the middle of that ring!

Pilgrim: There is a massive buildup up tension and animosity between these two groups, that being the Horsemen and Royal Flush. They don't like each other...at all.

Almanti: Should make for a great match.

Lights go out in arena as the opening strains of "4 Horsemen" by Metallica play over the PA.After around 25 seconds white lights start to flicker in time with the drum beats. After the main tune kicks in the Horsemen walk through the curtain and pump the crowd. As the music starts getting heavy the horsemen line up on the stage (Ci, Reck, Holmes, and FDCM).

Pilgrim: And here come the Horsemen!

Almanti: This an elite group of guys. I hate to admit it, but these guys are all world class fighters.

All four men flash four fingers in sequence. FDCM holds his POW World Title high above with one arm. They then walk down the ramp, high fiving the crowd as they go. They slide into the ring all at once and throw up their 4 fingers again to the delight of the crowd. Once in the ring Horseman heads to a turnbuckle and climbs it. The hold up 4 fingers in unison again, which once more, the crowd goes crazy for.

Pilgrim: And the crowd is solidly behind the Horsemen tonight!

Almanti: As good as they are, they are going to need to be as extreme as possible to take care of Royal Flush.

The Horsemen bring their hands down and hop off the turnbuckle as "Kiss My Ass" by Ted Nugent plays over the PA system. The crowd boos as loudly for Royal Flush as they cheered for the Horsemen. Royal Flush members Shawn Stevens, Rich Morrison, Josh Eagles and Kaleb Shadix all step out together wearing Royal Flush t-shirts. It's obvious the booing doesn't bother them, in fact...they seem to enjoy it.

Pilgrim: Those four guys....have a lot of talent and a lot of big match experience between them.

Almanti: They could be the greatest sum of talent brought together at all once. These guys are loaded. I don't know if the Horsemen can stand up to this much fire power.

As the song continues, Royal Flush makes their way down the ramp and one by one, start to climb the stairs. Big Ci feigns a charge at the steps and Morrison and Eagles both jump off, pointing to him and yelling at the referee. Lawson quells them by ushering Big Ci back to his side of the ring. Once again, Royal Flush carefully gets in the ring keeping an eye on their surroundings.

Pilgrim: Folks, we are just moments away from a damn brawl.

Almanti: This should be awesome.

Lawson forces each team to choose someone to start the match. Big Ci stays in the ring as the other three Horsemen step onto the apron. Royal Flush get in a small huddle and after a short talk, Rich Morrison is going to start off them. Lawson figures to get this thing started legit before all breaks lose and calls for the bell!

ding-ding

Royal Flush vs. 4 Horsemen: XE
(Morrison, Shadix, Stevens, Eagles) vs. (Ci, Maverick, Holmes, FDCM)

Morrison and Big Ci circle each other a few times before locking up. Ci smiles and uses his brute strength to lift Morrison off the ground and catapult him into a corner. Morrison looks stunned at the brute strength of Ci and gets up with a bit of anger in his face. He charges Ci, but Ci catches him again, they lock up and Ci, once again tosses him into a corner. This time, he lands in his teams corner. He quickly tags in Shawn Stevens who hops in starts jawing with Big Ci.

Pilgrim: And Big Ci is showing is strength off early!

Almanti: Let's see how Big Ci handles the champ!

Stevens comes in and fires a right hand and decks Ci across the face. It rocks Ci back a bit. Stevens fires another right and another and another. Ci is backed into the corner and Stevens continues throwing right after right after right. Stevens backs away and throws his arms out to taunt the crowd. As he turns around, he doesn't see that Big Ci is back up and smiling. The crowd roars as Big Ci walks up behind Stevens while SSS is still showing off. When Stevens turns around Ci drops him with a stiff punch!

Pilgrim: And Big Ci is lighting Royal Flush up!

Almanti: I don't know what beats a Royal Flush...umm...lowball poker!

Big Ci picks Stevens up by his hair and whips hims into the corner so that Stevens collides stomach first and bounces off, holding his chest. As he comes back toward the center of the ring, Big Ci slaps on a full nelson in the middle of the ring! Stevens kicks his feet, trying to get away, but Big Ci drops down and takes SSS down with a HARD full nelson slam! The crowd is really going bonkers for the good guys!

Pilgrim: And Big Ci has it rolling early. He has been nothing less than dominate tonight!

Almanti: The Horsemen are definitely in control early.

Big Ci drags Stevens to the corner and tags points to Reck Maverick. The Atomic Ninja looks around the arena as they cheer for him to get his hands on Stevens two weeks before his title shot at Americana. Ci tags Reck in and Reck hops to the top rope and drops a guillotine leg drop on the outstretched arm of Stevens. Reck doesn't waste time and quickly slaps on an abdominal stretch and pulling hard on the arm that he previously put the leg drop on. Stevens is far from his corner, but begging for some help.

Pilgrim: And Reck Maverick picking up where Big Ci left off, Tony.

Almanti: It's a different tactic, a slower pace, but Reck, in addition to the win, wants to put on some long term effects to Stevens here. This match is big, but the match in two weeks at Americana is bigger!

Maverick keeps putting the pressure on and finally releases. He delivers a sharp roundhouse kick to the ribs of Stevens while he's on his knees and follows that up quickly with a an enzuigri to back of the head. It drops Stevens to his stomach. Reck tags in Kailus Holmes. Kailus walks in and hits some hard punches on Stevens. As he starts to get Stevens to his feet, Stevens hits a low blow that drops Kailus to his knees. Stevens rolls over and spots his corner where all of his teammates have their hands outstretched. Stevens uses the ropes as leverage and pulls himself up. He gets over and tags in Eagles. Eagles quickly hops in and meets Holmes before Holmes can make a tag.

Pilgrim: Could the balance of power shift?

Almanti: It's looking that way.

Eagles hits a knee to the face of Holmes, sending Kailus back on his butt with his legs outstretched. Eagles uses that to dropkick Kailus in the chest, putting him all the way on his back. Eagles takes one of Holmes' legs and hits a quick elbow drop on the knee. He decides to get a little extra help and places the leg on the bottom rope and drops an elbow on it again. Holmes pulls his leg into his body and holds his knee in pain. Eagles uses the time to taunt the crowd and the other three opponents. Eagles gets back on Kailus' back and pulls up on the chin hard, utilizing the camel clutch.

Pilgrim: And now Josh Eagles is showing that he's in charge. He can be absolutely brutal!

Almanti: This is a big boy's world, and he's a big boy.

Eagles gets tired of the hold and stands up. He puts his boot on the back of Kailus' head and shoves it hard into the mat. Kailus grabs his head in pain. Eagles gets Kailus to his feet and whips him into the Royal Flush corner. Eagles walks over to Reck Maverick and slaps him across the face. The natural reaction of course, is Big Ci, FDCM, and Reck all stepping into the ring to get back at Eagles, but Lawson stands between them and Eagles trying to get them back on the ring apron. While Lawson's attention is diverted, Stevens holds Kailus against the corner post while Shadix and Morrison hammer away with hard, repeated shots to the chest.

Pilgrim: Now...Come on! This needs to be stopped!

Almanti: It's great tag team strategy. Get the referee on something else, while your teammates beat the hell out of the legal man!

Royal Flush illegally beating on Kailus Holmes, of course, gets the reaction you would expect. The same group that Lawson is trying to control gets even more irate and yells at the referee to stop the illegal beating. But Lawson only sees three men trying to enter the ring illegally and pushes them away. This gives even more time for Royal Flush to beat on their man. Finally Lawson turns around, but Royal Flush stops hitting on Kailus just in time. Kailus being in a heap on the ground gives Lawson a clue and he points at the Royal Flush team, giving them a warning. Royal Flush give the "who? me?" body language. Eagles tags Shadix in and holds back Kailus' arms for Shadix to get a solid body shot on the ribs.

Pilgrim: And so far, good teamwork by Royal Flush.

Shadix gets Holmes to his feet and fires three hard right hands in rapid succession. He hits him again. Now he follows with a left. He comes back with a right, but it's blocked and Holmes throws a body shot that catches Shadix off guard. Shadix fires another left, but Holmes blocks it and drops, driving his shoulder into the knee of Shadix. The crowd cheers as Shadix grabs his knee and rolls a bit on the ground. Holmes is breathing heavy and is quite a ways from his corner. Shadix is lucky and is very near to his corner and tags Morrison back in. Morrison catches Holmes before Kailus can tag anyone.

Pilgrim: And you know that Rich Morrison has been wanting some payback for his loss to Holmes at SuperMania!

Almanti: And he gets a banged up Holmes to do it against!

Holmes is on all fours, using his knees and hands to stay up. He's trying to find a way to his corner, but Morrison is in his way. He bends down to get face to face with Holmes and slaps him right across the face. The fans boo at this disrespectful act. Morrison slaps Holmes again across the face! A red whelp is starting to come up on Holmes' face. Morrison reaches back to slap it again, but Reck springboards over the top rope and catches Morrison with a scissor kick across the face! Shadix, Eagles, and Stevens all explode into the ring in retaliation which causes Big Ci and FDCM to enter the ring as well! Lawson has lost control!

Pilgrim: Here we go! All 8 men are in the ring!d

Almanti: It took a little longer than I thought, but it finally happened!

Reck fights through until he finds Stevens and the two grab each other with their left hands around the back of the neck and start hammering each other punch for punch with their right hands. FDCM is working over Kaleb Shadix with punches while Big Ci is hammering away at Josh Eagles. Morrison sees an opportunity and hits his Headliner finisher on Holmes! He pins him! ...But Lawson is busy directing traffic and has no idea to count for the pin!

Pilgrim: And Lawson doesn't realize there is a pin in the ring!

Almanti: That's twice that rat bastard is going to screw him against Holmes!

Lawson finally sees the pin and jumps over. He starts the count!

SAVE BY MAVERICK! Reck makes the save and follows up with some rapid kicks and punches to Morrison. Stevens breaks it up with a forearm to the back. He tosses Maverick out of the ring. Big Ci charges Stevens, but Stevens bends down and uses Big Ci's momentum for a back body drop that sends Big Ci out of the ring.

Pilgrim: And Shawn Stevens has taken over!

Almanti: That's why he's the damn champ!

Stevens taunts the crowd, but Holmes gets to his knees and low blows Stevens in the family jewels! Stevens drops to his knees. Kailus leaps and mounts him and starts firing away. They lock up on the ground and roll out of the ring. Shadix and Eagles are double teaming FDCM in the ring. Lawson is a bit lost as well. Eagles and Shadix whip him into the corner. Eagles charges and goes for a big splash, but FDCM slides out of the way. Eagles bounces back, holding his chest. Shadix rushes FDCM, but FDCM hits a snapping ball kick to the stomach. He sees a great opportunity and hits a DOUBLE DIAMOND CUTTER!!!!

Pilgrim: A DOUBLE DIAMOND CUTTER!!! A DOUBLE DIAMOND CUTTER!!! Unbelievable!

Almanti: He can spring it at any time!

The crowd goes nuts as Lawson, not remembering who is legal and who isn't just accepts it as a legal pin and starts the count of FDCM on Shadix!

Morrison slides in for the save, but is stopped short by Big Ci!



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


The Horsemen all get in the ring and take their positions on the turnbuckles showing four fingers to the Royal Flush members are licking their wounds as they head back up the ramp.

Pilgrim: And a huge win for the Horsemen tonight. They have proven they aren't out of their league in taking on Royal Flush!

Almanti: They still have a lot of catching up to do as Royal Flush still holds all the POW Midwest singles titles, but the Horsemen have proved their worth tonight!

Pilgrim: You gotta come back next week to see where we go from here! One thing is for sure, it's just going to get more and more interesting! Good night!
