The camera joins Power On Wrestling star Lestat, whom is wearing faded blue jeans, black tennis shoes, and a black wife-beater tank-top, he stands in his locker room pacing back and forth. Stopping he looks to his cell phone and shakes his head.

Lestat: “Where are you? My match with Hellfire is shortly. You’re supposed to be here for that too!”

Sighing Lestat sits down on the bench and starts taking off his tennis shoes. About that time Silver comes strutting into the room as if nothing has been going wrong. Silver wears a bright Hawaiian shirt unbuttoned over top of a white tank-top, white quicksilver board shorts, and a pair of black flip flops. Lestat looks up and narrows his eyes seeing Silver acting so carefree. Jumping to his feet he begins to shout.

Lestat: “What are you wearing? Where the hell have you been!? Fire has been taken hostage! No one knew if you were okay. And, on top of all of that Mr. Showtime is still MIA!”

Silver: “Lestat, breath!”

Lestat shakes his head and takes a deep breath.

Silver: “Dude, slow down, you were talking to fast. I didn’t understand a word you just said.”

Lestat’s eyes widen in disbelief.

Lestat: “I said... Fire, has been kidnaped. Mr. Showtime is still missing. And, I didn’t know if something had happened to you too!”

Silver: “Fire was WHAT?”

Lestat sighs and looks dead at Silver.

Lestat: “Clean out your ears! Fire was taken by a group of men. The same men that attacked you and Leyna. They want you and Leon in place of her. I don’t even know if she is still doing okay.”

Silver: “Who took Fire?”

Lestat glares at Silver.

Lestat: “How should I know? They didn’t exactly call me up and say `Hi my name is Bob Killen and I took Fire.’ and, they didn’t leave a calling card that I have found either!”

Silver: “Well, lets find Leon, and get her back.”

Lestat: “Okay after the match.”

Silver: “Alright.”

The camera fades out leaving Lestat to get ready for the upcoming match with Hellfire.

Pilgrim: Ladies and gentlemen we have received word that Brutus Armstrong versus Robbie Huston will not take place as both men failed to make it to the arena.
Almanti: Great impressions.
Pilgrim: Yeah I doubt they'll last long.
Almanti: JTN is probably filling out the pinkslips now.
Pilgrim: Speaking of JTN we have gotten word he and Pickles are exchanging words backstage.

The camera cuts back to JTNs office backstage. Pickles is sitting across the desk from him as the two are grinning showing they can barely stand the other.

Jay: Well it's my show. I don't care who you are or what pull you have. I book the matches.

Nick: Too bad Nitro, I'm the commissioner. I have rank over you.

Jay: Rank?! Rank?! You sucked at running UWW when you had the chance. I had to take it over cause you were so bad.

Nick: That was then, this is now.

Jay: Well fine...I will allow JR Zevon, John Anthony, Buddy Love, Cory Barnett, and Nightkiller to be on POW Midwest next week. In fact. I will keep them throughout Legendaria. And maybe even more but only till then.

Nick: Good. Now next order of business. The main event.

Jay: Actually with Zevon and Anthony.....I have a great plan. You can book another match though.

Pickles sighs in frustration.

Nick: Well since I signed Kyle Neverwinter, I get to make his match.

Jay: Alright, who ya got?

Nick: Lance Erikson!

Jay: Ok that's doable.

Nick: So what's your plans for Anthony and Zevon?

Jay: You'll see. In fact I'll announce everything later tonight.

Nick: I hate when you do that.

“South of Heaven” by Slayer hits the arena as Shadow, Saya, and Hellfire make their way to the ring. Hellfire gets into the ring and Shadow and Saya wait on the outside.

Huff: Making his way to the ring, from Death Valley. HELLFIRE!

“Chaos Factor by Art” of Chaos hits as the lights dim almost to black. Red and white lights start to shine down the runway as Lestat and Silver walk down the ramp. Lestat runs ahead of Silver and slides into the ring. Lestat poses for the crowd as Silver slaps the fans hands till he reaches the ring. He then climbs up the steps and enters the ring through the ropes. He nods to Lestat and both take opposite sides and jump to the top of the middle turnbuckle and extend their arms in a (Randy Orton style) arms spread pose. They both hop off and Silver gets out of the ring.

Huff: And his challenger for tonight, hailing from Anaheim, California. Weighing 210 pounds. LESTAT!


Lestat vs. Hellfire


The referee calls for the bell as Hellfire charges across the ring with Lestat in his sights. Lestat sidesteps Hellfire and takes him down with a sweep to the legs. Lestat drops a couple knees into the back of Hellfire while he’s down. Lestat steps away as Hellfire gets back to his feet. Hellfire charges after Lestat, swinging with a wild clothesline, which gets ducked by Lestat, who hits Hellfire with a vicious dropkick.

Pilgrim: Lestat is taking the early advantage over Hellfire.

Shadow climbs onto the apron, causing Lestat to approach him. The referee gets between the two and turns to force Shadow off of the apron. Lestat turns back to the ring only to get caught with a hard uppercut to the jaw from Hellfire.

Almanti: Maybe you spoke too early Alex.

Hellfire grabs Lestat and takes him overhead with a big vertical suplex. He lifts Lestat off the mat and hits him with another big vertical suplex. He makes the nonchalant cover…

Lestat gets the shoulder up.

Pilgrim: A little lackadaisical with the cover there.

Hellfire lifts Lestat up again and picks him up in a big military press. He walks around the ring before dropping Lestat onto his back.

Almanti: He won’t take breathing for granted after that drop.

Hellfire makes another cover.

Almanti: I think Hellfire was really smelling it there.

Silver starts pounding the canvas on the apron in support of Lestat. Hellfire approaches and reaches outside the ring for Silver, who backs out of his way. Hellfire turns back to the rising Lestat and whips him off the ropes. He catches Lestat with a samoan drop. Hellfire gets back up and stomps on Lestat a few more times. He picks Lestat up again and lifts him up with another vertical suplex. He points at Silver on the outside and makes some form of remark, rousing Silver onto the apron and attempting to get into the ring.

Almanti: I think he specifically said something about Silver’s code of honor being misguided.

The referee is quick to stop Silver as Hellfire picks Lestat up and whips him to the ropes, where Shadow is waiting. Shadow catches Lestat with a guillotine as Hellfire makes a quick cover. The referee turns back around to catch the cover.

Lestat barely gets a shoulder up before the three.

Pilgrim: Hellfire almost got the cheap win thanks to Shadow.

Hellfire powers his way out.

Pilgrim: Lestat almost got the quick pin.

Hellfire gets to his feet and drops Lestat with a vicious boot to the head. Hellfire taunts the crowd a moment before throwing a smile to Shadow. Silver is back at the apron shouting support to Lestat. Hellfire again goes towards Silver, this time sliding under the bottom rope and making his way out of the ring. Silver takes a step back as Hellfire and Silver stare each other down. Silver then rockets forward with a hard elbow to the face of Hellfire, followed by numerous rights and lefts. Hellfire backs up into the side of the ring, when Shadow makes his way around the ring to grab Silver off Hellfire. Silver begins trading blows with both Shadow and Hellfire before the duo kicks Silver in the gut. They pick Silver up and hit a double atomic drop on him. Shadow turns back to the ring just in time to get caught by a hard baseball slide from Lestat.

Almanti: Lestat comes literally out of nowhere.

Hellfire looks down, stunned, at the prone figure of Shadow. Lestat takes the moment to springboard of the apron and hit a crossbody on Hellfire. Lestat and Silver both get Hellfire back up and toss him into the ring. Lestat gets back in and waits for Hellfire to rise.

Pilgrim: Could this be the end?

Hellfire slowly makes his way to his feet and turns around, only to get caught by a Season Ender (Superkick) from Lestat. Lestat quickly makes a cover, hooking both legs.

Winner via Pinfall: Lestat

Pilgrim: Lestat gets the victory!

Just then, Silver and Shadow make their way into the ring trading lefts and rights. Lestat joins, helping out Silver, with his own rights and lefts. Shadow struggles to hold them off until Hellfire joins in, evening out the odds. Referees and other POW officials hit the ring again to stop these four from brawling.

“Life Wasted” by Pearl Jam begins to fill the arena as 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 stands in the ring as the music changes to that of George Thorogood’s “Bad to The Bone” as the crowd immediately pops during the first guitar riff and Flap Flanagan and his trusty sidekick ALF emerge from behind the curtain. Flap has a can of Dr. Pepper in his hand and takes a drink before the dynamic duo walk down to the ring, giving the fans high fives along the way. ALF rolls into the ring as Flap walks around to side of the ring of the entrance aisle. He climbs up on the apron and turns his back to his opponent and looks out into the crowd. He takes another chug of his beverage and toss his can out into the audience... then as the saxophone solo of the song begins, Flap spews the Dr. Pepper into the air ala Triple H then he steps through the ropes. ALF is already perched on one of the turnbuckles so Flap goes over to that corner and ALF begins to message Flap’s shoulders as Richard Huff enters the ring.

Richard Huff - Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 30 minute time limit... The winner of this match will receive a shot at the Television Championship at Legendaria... First to my left, from Seattle Washington... weighing in at 240 pounds - Eddie Jones!

Jones raises his right arm to a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Richard Huff - and his opponent, from Flappyville, Flantario... Tipping the scales at an Earth-Shattering 155 pounds - “The Flanchise” Flap Flanagan!

Flap gives ALF a high five to the delight of the crowd. Richard Huff bows, then exits the ring. ALF hops off the turnbuckle and rolls out of the ring as the referee - Benny Lawson rings the bell to start the contest...

Flap Flanagan vs. Eddie Jones

RING - A - DING - DING!

Flap and Eddie begin to circle each other. Jones makes the first move by charging Flanagan dodges and the crowd chants “OLAY.” Eddie looks out at the audience and talks smack to fat kid sitting in the front row.

Pilgrim - Now... Is that really called for?

Almanti - I guess it is.

Flap stomps over to Eddie and taps him on the shoulder, when Eddie turns around Flap draws an imaginary line with his foot across the ring and dare Jones to cross that line... which Eddie does, and Jones again attempts to grab the Flanchise but Flanagan again dodges and kicks Jones in the ass. Eddie is really starting to get fumed now.

Almanti - I don’t think it’s smart for Flap to be agitating someone who is almost 100 pounds heavier then he is.

Flap hits the ropes and nails Jones with a clothesline... with little to no effect. Flap looks at Jones for a second and tells him to stay right there, then he hits the ropes again and delivers another clothesline that again Eddie doesn’t sell. Flap finally yelling “FUTTING PURORESU FUTTERS!” before hitting the ropes for a final time but this time Eddie counters with an overhead belly to belly suplex.

Almanti - Well it looks like the token offense for this match has just concluded...

Pilgrim - TONY! *Under his breath* kayfabe!

Almanti - Oh right!

Eddie picks Flap up and throws him into the turnbuckle and begins to ram his shoulder into the midsection of the Flanchise Player. After doing that 4 or 5 times Lawson finally pulls Jones off of Flanagan - who crumples to the mat. Jones points to himself to a small collection of boos from the crowd. He walks over to Flap and again picks him up. Jones takes a couple steps back then hits the rope and charges at Flanagan and dives with a flying forearm, but Flap takes a page from the book of Flair and flops face first to the mat as Jones sails over head, Jones crashes and the momentum sends Jones rolling out of the ring. Flap slowly gets to his feet and stumbles over to the ring ropes just as Eddie is getting to his feet and Flap grabs the ropes and uses them to slingshot himself over the ropes with a plancha... That is caught by Jones.

Pilgrim - This situation can NOT be good for Flap Flanagan!

Flap is heard yelling “Futt” as Jones drives Flap’s back into the corner post. Jones then rolls Flap back into the ring and rolls in himself as the ref’s count gets to about 6. Jones pins Flanagan but there is no count due to Flap’s feet being on the bottom rope. Eddie hooks the leg from out of the rope and Lawson begins the count.

1... and Flap kicks out.

Jones stomps Flap a couple times then picks up Flap and locks him in a front facelock and throws Flap’s arm over his own neck and snaps Flap back with a suplex. Jones then grabs one of Flanagan’s legs and turns Flap over into a half boston crab. Flap begins to crawl towards ALF slowly as he is dragging his weight as well as that of Eddie Jones. Meanwhile has produced a small foreign object from the pocket of his hawaiian shirt.

Almanti - What is that? Brass knux? A chain?

Pilgrim - It appears to be... Playing Cards?!

Alf opens the box and empties the contents into his paws and begins to shuffle the cards, he deals 7 cards onto the apron of the ring as Flap finally gets there. Flap picks up the cards as Lawson approaches Flap.

Lawson - Do you give up!?

Flap Flanagan - Do you got any QUEENS!

Jones looks back to see what the hell Flanagan is talking about and when he sees Flap playing cards he absolutely loses it. He releases the hold and begins to stomp the crap out of Flap Flanagan. Jones pulls Flap to his feet and begins to drive his knees into the midsection of Flanagan Jones then delivers a Downward Spiral and pins Flanagan. Lawson drops down for the count.

1...

2...

Flap kicks out. Eddie Jones stares down at his prey and signals for the Boiling Point. He picks Flap up and lifts him up for a suplex but Flap begins to kick his feet and somehow gets the momentum to swing back down and in the process drive both feet into the stomach of Jones and deliver some sort of bastardized Monkey Flip. Flap then raises to his knees and is shaking his fists... He’s Flapping up! Jones drives a hard fist into the head of Flanagan, but it has no effect and Flap keeps shaking. Jones delivers another punch but Flap springs to his feet and starts stomping around the ring. Eddie Jone keeps laying in right hands but Flap isn’t reacting then Jones must have hit Flap one to many times because Flap stops cold... turns to Eddie, looks him dead in the eye and points at him as the crowd screams “YOU!” Jones swings another time but Flap ducks and when Eddie gets re-oriented Flap delivers a Flap Slap! Jones looks pissed off but Flap hits the ropes and Jones tries a clothesline, Flap ducks and hits the other set of ropes and uses the built up force to level Eddie with a wicked clothesline. Jones quickly pops back up and Flap takes him down with a second lariat, Eddie is right back up so Flap responds with a flying tackle and follows it up with a spinout Powerbomb. Flap looks out to the crowd and hold one hand high into the air, then gets in Jones face and waves the hand back and forth across his face.

Almanti - Oh-no...

Pilgrim - Ha ha ha... Do you think Eddie Jones can “see” Flap Flanagan...

Flap bounces off the ropes and stops in front of Eddie and dusts off his shoulders before dropping a deadly fist drop on Jones. Flap then “Pumps up” his old dirty gym shoes and waits for Eddie to groggily get back to his feet and Flap lifts Jones up into the standing fireman’s carry... and Flap drops him down with the Flan 5 Samoan Drop and goes for the pin...

1...

2...

EDDIE KICKS OUT OF THE SIX MOVES OF DOOM! Flap grabs Eddies right arm and applies the Flapanese Armbar and begins to wrench away at it but Jones manages to get to the ropes so Flap releases the hold. Both guys get to their feet and begin trading right hands but the Flapanese Armbar must been to must because the much smaller Flanagan manages to gain the advantage and knocks Eddie Jones into the ropes. Flap charges Jones but Eddie catches Flap and drives him down with a spine buster and a pin.

1...

2...

Flanagan kicks out. Eddie is pissed off... Eddie grabs Flap and rolls him over onto his stomach. Eddie locks in the Steiner Recliner. Flap screams in pain as Maria turns away. Flap says he doesn't want to quit, then Eddie pulls back even harder and Flap starts wildly flapping his arms saying he gives up.

Winner via Submission: Eddie Jones

Almanti: Flap flapped out.
Pilgrim: Good one....how long you been waiting to use that?
Almanti: Not too long.
Pilgrim: Well the fact of the matter is Eddie Jones will now face Kaleb Shadix at Legendaria.

We cut backstage where we find Reck Maverick preparing for his tag match. He is approached by former Diamond Girl Reiko.

Reiko - Hey Reck.

Reck Maverick - Reiko? What's up?

Reiko - I was think about the invitation you offered me

Reiko smiles broadly.

Reiko - and I accept!

Reck Maverick - Really? That's awesome. With you as my manager my chances of becoming champion just went from "Highly likely" to "Guaranteed!"

Reiko - When do I start...

Reck rubs for his chin for a second.

Reck Maverick - Next week.

Reiko tilts her head in confusion.

Reiko - Huh? Why not tonight?

Reck Maverick - Because I know you want to rip off Diamond's head and shove it up his rectal cavity... and since Kailus and myself are already going to be beating him down - along with the Lucky son of a unnamed dog Shawn Stevens, there won't be enough left for you to punish. So you might as well take the week off and we'll start fresh next week.

Reiko - Okay, good luck tonight Reck.

Reck Maverick - Thanks.

The duo shake hands and Reiko leaves as Maverick goes back to his preparation.

“(Can’t You) Trip Like I Do” by Filter hits the arena as Scott walks out of the curtain. He looks around at the area, familiarizing his surroundings. He then steps into the ring as if nothing special had happened.

Pilgrim: Lanegan beat Eddie Jones just last week to get into this match.

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

Almanti: And here comes the champ, and he’s the champ for a reason.

Huff: The following match is for the Power On Wrestling Midwestern Television Championship. Introducing first, the challenger. Hailing from Seattle, Washington, he weighed in at 260 pounds. He is, SCOTT LANEGAN!

The crowd responds with a scattering of cheers as well as some boos.

Huff: And now, the champion. He weighed in at 240 pounds. Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio. He is, KALEB SHADIX!

The crowd responds with a heavy chorus of boos as Shadix raises the title high above his head.

Kaleb Shadix vs. Scott Lanegan

Shadix and Lanegan approach each other and lock up in a tie up. After a moment of struggling, Shadix breaks the hold and hits a knee into the gut of Lanegan. Lanegan doubles over and Shadix hits him across the back with a forearm. Lanegan falls face first to the mat but quickly gets back to his feet. Shadix charges in with a hard elbow to the jaw. Lanegan responds with elbow of his own. Lanegan and Shadix trade elbows before Lanegan gets the upper hand. Lanegan hits a couple elbows followed by a couple hooks the temple of Shadix. Lanegan hits an uppercut into the stomach of Shadix, doubling him over before hitting him with a snap suplex.

Pilgrim: Lanegan hits a beautiful suplex on the champ.

Lanegan goes for the cover and gets a little more than a one count.

Almanti: The champ isn’t ready to give in just yet.

Lanegan lifts Shadix up and backs him into a corner. He pummels him with numerous lefts and rights before twisting his arm and climbing onto the second rope. He comes off with a hard clothesline to the back of Shadix’s head, crumbling him to the mat.

Pilgrim: Looks like Lanegan’s taking a little of the Undertaker’s arsenal into his playbook.

Lanegan stomps on Shadix a few times before hitting a leg drop to the back of Shadix’s head. He lets Shadix get back to his feet before hitting several more punches. He backs Shadix into the ropes where he hits a couple chops on Shadix. The crowd starts responding very positively to Lanegan beating on the champ. Lanegan then whips Shadix off the ropes and catches him with a hard back drop. Lanegan waits a moment before going for the cover.

Shadix gets a shoulder up.

Pilgrim: Lanegan thought he might have had it.

Lanegan gets Shadix up and puts him back against the ropes. He hits a vicious chop that knocks the wind out of Shadix. Lanegan looks around at the crowd before going for another chop. This time though, Shadix catches Lanegan’s arm and spins him into the ropes. Shadix fires off with three rapid chops himself, before stepping back and hitting a hard elbow to the chin of Lanegan. Lanegan falls back against the ropes. Shadix hooks Lanegan’s head and hits a bulldog. Shadix sits on the mat a moment before getting up. Lanegan gets back up slowly only to get caught by Shadix with a Northern Light Suplex. He bridges and holds on for the pin.

Lanegan powers a shoulder off the mat.

Pilgrim: Shadix was half a count away from getting the win.

Almanti: That’s always the problem, that half a count.

Shadix sits Lanegan up and locks in a sleeper hold. Lanegan struggles around and forces his way to his feet. Shadix keeps up the hold and jumps onto the back of Lanegan, keeping the pressure. Lanegan flails around in the ring until he is finally forced to one knee. Shadix keeps on the hold as Lanegan slumps over onto the ground. The referee comes in to check on Lanegan.


He raises the arm once and it falls to the mat.


He raises the arm a second time and again, it falls to the mat.


Pilgrim: Could this be the end of the line for Scott Lanegan?


Lanegan’s arm is raised a third time and this time, he manages to keep it from hitting the mat mere milliseconds before it does. The crowd roars as Lanegan is still alive.

Pilgrim: Well folks, this one’s not over yet!

Shadix, frustrated, releases the hold and hits a couple knees into the back of Lanegan. He then tries to reapply the sleeper, but this time, Lanegan ducks under his arms and rolls away from Shadix and to his feet. Shadix backs away as Lanegan charges towards him. He hits a vicious running knee to the gut and doubles Shadix over onto the ground. Lanegan gets on Shadix and locks in a camel clutch. He asks Shadix if he wants to give up before getting off and stomping on Shadix upper back. Lanegan then hits an elbow drop across the neck of Shadix.

Pilgrim: Lanegan is really looking to take advantage.

Lanegan lifts Shadix up and puts him on his shoulder for a powerslam. As Lanegan takes a couple steps, Shadix steps off and hits Lanegan in the back of the head with a clothesline. Shadix hits a couple quick elbow drops before lifting Lanegan up and pushing him into the corner. He hits a couple hard chops before throwing several hard rights to Lanegan. Lanegan slumps over as Shadix steps away and charges in with a big turnbuckle splash. Lanegan crumples to the mat face first. Shadix pulls him closer to the middle of the ring and sets Lanegan up for a big Piledriver.

Pilgrim: This could be the end!

Shadix makes a confident, nonchalant cover and nods with each count.

3…NO! NOT QUITE!

Pilgrim: Lanegan gets a shoulder up! He’s still alive.

The crowd erupts, much to the ire of Shadix, who flips a big middle finger in the general direction of everyone. Shadix picks Lanegan up and sets him up for another Piledriver. This time, Lanegan drops Shadix with a back body drop and both men fall to the mat. The crowd chants for Lanegan to get to his feet as both men struggle to get up.

Almanti: This looks like it will be the turning point in this match.

Lanegan and Shadix get to their feet at about the same time and start trading staggered punches. Shadix finally goes for a wild punch, which gets caught by Lanegan. Lanegan hits several punches of his own before planting Shadix with a Double Arm DDT. He sits up and catches his breath for a moment before getting to his feet. He bounces off the ropes and hits a rising Shadix with a Spinning Elbow. Shadix crumbles and Lanegan goes for a cover.

Almost the three count! Shadix gets a shoulder up though.

The crowd groans in disappointment.

Almanti: Almost, Alex, almost.

Lanegan lifts Shadix up, points out to the crowd, and lifts Shadix up in position for the Junk Grunge.

Pilgrim: This is the end!

Shadix twist out of the position, lands behind Lanegan in a crouching position, hits a low blow that the referee somehow doesn’t see, and rolls Lanegan up for a school boy pin quickly. As the ref gets into position to check the shoulder, Shadix grabs a handful of tights for extra leverage.

Winner via Pinfall and Still POW Television Champion: Kaleb Shadix

Shadix rolls out of the ring quickly and goes to grab his title as Lanegan is left in the ring, looking a little annoyed.

Pilgrim: Shadix just got the undeserved win!

Almanti: I told you earlier, he was the champ for a reason. He knows how to get the win. As Shadix heads back up the ramp, he taunts Lanegan, who remains in the ring. When he gets to the curtain, he turns only to get caught with a chair shot just as he steps through the curtain. Shadix falls backwards and crumples to the floor. Out of the curtain steps Rich Morrison, holding the chair in his hand. He stands over Shadix and raises the chair high into the air.

We re-open backstage with Reck Maverick. He is shadow boxing in preparation for his match. He looks intense as he throws out his hands. He stops boxing and begins to bounce on the balls of his feet, breathing in and out rapidly. He turns to exit. As he steps forward he walks straight into the body of Big Ci, who has the Valor Championship over his shoulder. Ci locks eyes with Reck, who stares back. After a brief silence Ci speaks.

Big Ci: Leader huh? Leader…

Reck Maverick: Yeah… leader

Big Ci: You know… I started this group to be a dominant force… thee dominant force… in this business. Suffice to say… I haven’t achieved that yet. But for you to waltz in and take over whilst I wasn’t around to do anything… well I don’t know whether or not I’m too happy about that.

Reck: Before you start going on about this being the group you started… let me remind you that two weeks ago, when this group was falling in on itself, you were nowhere to be found. I was the one left with this group. I tried to call you and work this out but you weren’t there. You were off on a vacation when you should have been here taking care of things. So if anyone is at fault for me taking over… it’s you… not me… you. So if you have a problem… it should be with no one but yourself.

Big Ci looks to be getting a touch angrier with every word. He composes himself and speaks

Big Ci: You wanna play leader with the group I let you join and you want me to sit back and be your subordinate? Well then… Mien Fuhrer… go ahead… play leader… because as long as you and I are Horsemen… I have you back

He extends his hand. Reck looks cautiously at his hand, before extending his own and accepting the gesture. Ci, suddenly pulls Reck in closer

Big Ci: But don’t give me an excuse… to stop being a Horseman

He lets the hand go and backs out of shot. The camera zooms to Reck, who watches him leave intently.

Richard Huff: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now time for the Pick Your Poison Main Event!

The crowd cheers for Richard who prepares to leave the ring. Just as he reaches the ropes the lights dim into blue and red flashes. “Modest” begins it's catchy and simple drum beat and the Atomic Ninja makes his appearance.

Almanti: This is the moment we've all been waiting for!

Pilgrim: Reck Maverick is now coming down!

Almanti: In just a few weeks time, Maverick will face the Midwest Champion once again for the title in a Three Stages of Hell Match!

Pilgrim: He almost had his number at Americana, but the time limit died out on him!

Reck rolls into the ring as “Back in the Saddle” cuts off Reck's music. Out of the plume of smoke charges Flying Diamond Cutter Man, holding the POW World Championship belt aloft.

Pilgrim: The World Champion, set to face the number one contender, Kailus Holmes, tonight in this match!

Almanti: These two have had words to say in the beginning, and now, after so many months of waiting... we finally get to see it!

FDCM gets to the bottom of the ring and just as Reck's music dies, so does the champions. Being replaced by “The Fight”. Shawn Stevens, with an angry look upon his face, storms out from the back, the Midwest Championship belt wrapped around his waist.

Almanti: And here's the other champion!

Pilgrim: Two champions, two contenders, one seriously intense catchup we have here!

Shawn refuses to get into the ring, demanding that an eager Reck Maverick take some time to cool off. “Whatever” begins to play and the crowd scream, awaiting the number one contender.

Almanti: The final superstar comes along!

The crowd begin to get impatient as Holmes doesn't appear, but rather one of the POW staff members. He charges around the ring and eventually gets to Richard Huff, shouting something that the cameras can barely pin point.

Pilgrim: Something doesn't look right here.

Richard nods his head in agreement and stands up, holding his microphone to his lips.

Huff: Ladies and gentlemen, I have been informed that Kailus Holmes will not be participating in this match due to a head cold.

The crowd boo as Reck furiously looks at a smiling FDCM and Stevens.

Huff: However, POW officials have now been notified that there will be a substitute in this match.

Reck wonders who his new partner will be. Suddenly, glass crashes around the PA system and the crowd are stunned, as well as the two champions, to see Holmes' personal bodyguard Isaac Marshall, storm through the curtain, looking fully prepared for his debut.

Almanti: It's Isaac Marshall!

Pilgrim: What the hell is he doing here?

Reck stands threatened as Marshall leans through the ropes and stands toe to toe with him. The crowd scream as Reck won't back down from Marshall.

Almanti: Marshall and Maverick are at a stare down!

Pilgrim: This is The Enforcer's first match and he's already picking fights with Reck Maverick!

As the two continue their stare down, FDCM and Stevens launch forward, hoping to get a quick advantage whilst they are distracted, but Marshall and Maverick know and begin an assault of their own. Marshall and FDCM hammer at each other as Stevens begins to push Maverick into the turnbuckle.

Co-Main Event
Pick Your Poison
Kailus Holmes and Reck Maverick vs. Flying Diamond Cutter Man and Shawn Stevens

Almanti: And the official is having trouble keeping the peace here!

FDCM tries to grapple Marshall down but the powerhouse is just too strong and throws the champion to the mat. Stevens tries a cheap blow but Reck ducks it, hitting a well placed Judo kick. FDCM won't back down, standing up and charging at Marshall, temporarily hoisting him up and pushing him to the corner. Marshall adjusts his balance and stops FDCM in his tracks, again throwing him off.

Maverick lands another kick to Stevens' chest, the knock dropping the Midwest Champion down to the mat, forcing him to roll to the outside. FDCM is safe through as the official demanded Maverick to get out of the ring. Marshall grabs FDCM and throws him to the ropes. FDCM bounces off and comes back with a charging clotheslines. Marshall staggers, but won't stay down. FDCM goes again, hitting another clothesline, further pushing the big man down, but again he stands tall. FDCM tries one more time, leaping higher... and it works! Marshall drops!

Almanti: Ouch!

Pilgrim: He still ha s a lot to learn!

FDCM goes to tag in Stevens, but the Sensational One drops from the apron, saying he wants no part of Marshall. The crowd boo as FDCM furiously shouts at Stevens for his lack of courage.

Almanti: The champion wanting to stay fresh for Legendaria.

Marshall takes this time to regather his thoughts, suddenly launching a quick attack and grabbing FDCM's arm, throwing him to Reck's corner. Marshall aggressively tags in Reck and leaves the Atomic Ninja to it. Reck looks frustrated at his partner but refocuses back on the match. He leans into the ropes and hammers away at FDCM's head.

Pilgrim: Reck and Marshall, even though they have gotten off to a shaky start, have gelled very well here so far, as the Stevens/Cutter Man partnership seems to have dissolved before it began.

As Reck takes a step back to strike a ninja pose, Stevens comes out of nowhere and hammers Reck across the back of the head with a forearm. Reck crumbles under the force as the official pushes Stevens back. FDCM , although hates Stevens, is grateful for the save. He pulls himself back up and drags Reck to his corner. As he stands, Stevens slaps the back of FDCM's shoulder, tagging himself in. FDCM stares at Stevens as the Midwest Champion stomps on Reck's head furiously.

Almanti: And FDCM didn't like that one bit!

Pilgrim: It seems that now Stevens wants to fight.

Stevens sure enough looks ready, not giving Reck a moment to relax, changing from the stomping to furious closed fist strikes to Reck's cranium. As the official asks him to stop, Stevens changes to a wrist lock, pulling Reck's arm as hard as he could to try and get the submission victory. Marshall looks on without a care of what's going on.

Reck manages to build a base, placing his legs firmly upwards. Stevens is losing his hold as Reck fires an elbow into Stevens' side. Another. And another. Once more, and Stevens let's go. Reck goes for his corner but Stevens pulls him back with a head lock. Reck counters and rolls to the back, pulling Stevens down for a roll up!

1...

2...

Stevens kick out, Reck gets up but so does Stevens. Stevens goes for a spinning leg take down but Reck leaps high, flipping over the champion and preparing for the backlash. Stevens spins round and meets a well placed kick to the temple. Stevens goes down. COVER!

1...

2...

Again, Stevens kicks out. Reck sighs and tags in Marshall. The Enforcer casually steps into the ring and leaves Stevens there, demanding that FDCM get in the ring. FDCM stares at Marshall, who dares him to make the tag. FDCM doesn't take much convincing, and tags himself in. The crowd erupt as Marshall demands FDCM come and get him. FDCM cautiously walks up to Marshall, who is now hitting his chest, completely calling out the champion.

Almanti: The standoff begins!

FDCM starts to shout at Marshall, who menacingly laughs at FDCM's attempts of a psyche out. Reck spots Stevens getting up, noticing the standoff and slips out of the ring, having enough of everything.

Pilgrim: And Stevens has had enough!

Almanti: Good plan because if he keeps going it could jeapordise his title defence even more.

FDCM turns to see where Stevens is going and is hammered by Marshall in the process. Reck leaps over the ropes and chases his opponent. Marshall whips FDCM into the ropes and bends down to catch him for the back body drop, but FDCM catches Marshall off guard and leaps out, dropping the Enforcer with a Diamond Cutter! Reck and Stevens fight on the entrance ramp.

Almanti: FDCM has it won! He's done it!

Pilgrim: Experience will win over youth today, Tony!

As FDCM gets back up, Kailus slams the World Championship belt into FDCM's head, forcing the referee to call for the bell. The crowd boo as the number one contender stands over a fallen champion, staring as if in a trance.

Winners via DQ: Flying Diamond Cutter Man and Shawn Stevens.

Almanti: What?

Pilgrim: Holmes has just attacked FDCM!

Kailus suddenly snaps back into life, pulling FDCM to his front, knocking several right hands into his face. The crowd fill with boos as Holmes continues to hammer away. Marshall slowly returns to life, sitting up and seeing FDCM being attacked. The two spot each other and smile. Kailus dropping FDCM to the mat and demanding Marshall hold him up.

Almanti: What are they planning here?

Marshall holds FDCM up and throws him towards Kailus, who is on the other side of the ring. Kailus charges at the same time, planting FDCM with a full throttle style Spear. He snaps back to his feet, collecting the World Championship belt that Marshall hands him. Holmes holds it high in the air, sending a very physical message to the champion.

Pilgrim: This is complete chaos!

Almanti: And look over here!

Reck and Stevens continue to fight, eventually being forced by security to break them up. Holmes and Marshall laugh as FDCM doesn't budge an inch. Kailus returns to his quiet trance, staring at the World Championship belt for a few moments longer before dropping it beside the true champion.

The carnage is still going on in and around the ring as "Kobrakai" by LostProphets hits and JTN comes rushing out to the stage as fast as he can limp. He has a mic in hand as his music fades.

Jay: GENTLEMEN PLEASE! YOU MAY WANT TO STOP AND LISTEN!

Stevens and Maverick continue exchanging shots as Holmes stands over FDCM.

Jay: SHAWN! RECK! STOP!

The two slow down their fighting and look at each other as they are both still in a fighting stance. The two slowly turn to look at JTN.

Jay: Thank you. Now after seeing the events that have taken place tonight I have a couple of big announcements. First of all, Rich Morrison? You wanted Kaleb Shadix? Well you got him. FOR THE TELEVISION TITLE!

The crowd explodes as Stevens realizes this has nothing to do with him cheapshots Reck who slugs back.

Jay: Stop or neither of you get that title.

Once more the two comply.

Jay: Next we will see a team from the Northeast team up to take on a team from the Midwest. Buddy Love and Cory Barnett versus Eddie Jones and Big Ci!

The crowd lets out a thunderous roar.

Jay: Oh but that's not all with Northeast. See after seeing how well you four got along tonight. I couldn't resist. Since we have JR Zevon and John Anthony on loan and they get along so well also. We will see a special triple threat tag team main event. In which the Northeast team of JR Zevon and John Anthony team up to take on the Midwest team of Shawn Stevens and Reck Maverick, to take on the third team that spans the WORLD.....in Kailus Holmes and Flying Diamond Cutter Man!

For a brief second the crowd goes deathly silent. Maverick and Stevens eyes' widen at each other. Holmes snaps out of his trance and looks at the demolished World champion at his feet, as JR Zevon and John Anthony walk out onto the stage with a look of distain for each other. JTN has a huge grin on his face as the crowd lets a thunderous cheer out that shakes the building. JTN walks to the back as the men all stare at each other and their respective partners. From the back once more with the steel chair comes Rich Morrison, he sneaks up behind Zevon and cracks it over his head. Zevon goes down as Anthony doesn't know whether to smile or not. Morrison swings the chair again across the back of Zevon before tossing it down and heading to the back.

Pilgrim: MORRISON AGAIN WITH THE CHAIR!
Almanti: He was waiting for that revenge shot at Zevon. This isn't the last between these two!
Pilgrim: Anthony didn't know what to do either to stand and watch Rich's attacked because of their history, but he needs Zevon for next week! This is gonna be huge! And we still have one more match left!

"Death Rides A Horse" plays loudly over the speakers as George Duke steps out from behind the curtain wearing a Royal Blue robe. He makes his way to the ring, ignoring the negative fan reaction. He climbs in through the ropes and walks the ring, arms held high. He takes off his robe and hands it off to the ring attendant and waits for the match to begin.

Huff: In the ring the challenger....GEORGE DUKE!

"Out to get me" by Guns N' Roses hits as Big Ci comes out with the Valor Championship around his waist. He highfives the fans on the way to the ring. When he gets to the ring he stares at Duke before he enters the ring through ropes and taunts on the 2nd turnbuckle. Flashes the four finger salute. He keeps his eyes on Duke as he hands the title belt to the ref.

Huff: In the ring now, he is the Power On Wrestling Valor Champion.....BIG CI!

Pilgrim: And the final person.....

Every light in the arena goes completely out and a spotlight appears on the stage at the curtain. "Walk with me in Hell" kicks up over the PA and Holly steps out onto the stage wearing her usual. The audience boos her as she signals for Lance to step out from behind the curtain. Lance comes out and puts his arm around Holly's midsection and the two walk down to the ring. Lance grabs two chairs and the pair each sit on one as the match begins.

POW Valor Championship Match
George Duke vs Big Ci
Special Enforcer: Lance Erikson

The bell rings and Duke and Ci immediately begin to hammer away at each other. They trade right hands and Ci eventually gets the better of Duke and knocks him into the ropes. Ci then irish whip Duke across the ring and nails him with a devasting lariat on the return trip and immediately goes for the pin but Referee Dutton can't even get into position before George kicks out.

Big Ci picks up Duke and places him in the turnbuckle and starts delivering knife edged chops as the crowd "WOOOs" in the background

Pilgrim - It looks like the fans are really behind Big Ci tonight Tony.

But quickly Duke grabs Ci and spins him around so that Ci is the one in the turnbuckle and Duke begins to deliver chops of his own. The crowds reaction is less positive this time around. Duke brings Ci out of the corner and locks him in a front facelock and suplexes his heavier opponent and follows it up with a pin that only gets a 1 count. Duke begins to stomp at the head and chest of Big Ci as Lance Erikson watches on from outside the ring with a sinister grin smeared across his face.

Pilgrim - What is Erikson grinning about?

Almanti - I think Lance considers it payback from Americana.

Duke then synches in a rear chinlock and leans back placing more pressure on the neck of Big Ci. Duke breaks his own hold to deliver some Greg Valentine like Hammer blows to the chest of Ci before going back to the hold. Dutton checks for the submission but since no one has given up to a rear chin lock since 1910 Ci naturally fights through the pain and actually begin to stand. Ci manages to get to his feet and he drives some elbows into the midsection of Duke to break the hold. Now Ci grabs Duke and sets him up for a powerbomb. Ci looks over at Lance and points at him. Erikson motions for Ci to bring in on... but the momentairy distraction allows Duke to slip out of Big Ci's grip and begins to throw some stiff forearms into the chest of Ci but The Horsemen swats away one of Dukes shots and drives his knee into the midsection of his opponent and he follows up with a second and a third and a final one to the chin that causes to fall back onto the canvas and Ci pins him again. Dutton drops for the pin,,,

1...

Duke kicks out at one. Ci picks up Duke and hoists him for a scoop slam but holds him up in the air for a second before driving him into the mat. Duke is then set into a sitting position and Ci locks in a over head key lock. Duke almost screams in pain but he reaches up instead with his free arm and punchs Ci in the head. He continues to do this until Ci releases the hold. Duke then quickly gets to his feet and continues to deliver stiff punches to Ci who is quickly getting stunned by the shots. Duke then grabs Ci and hits a nice swinging neckbreaker. Duke then bounces off the ropes and hits a hard knee drop to the face of Ci and then goes for another pin.

1...

2..

Ci manages to kick out of the pin and Duke looks fairly cheesed. He grabs Ci and drags him over to the bottom rope and begins to choke him with it. Dutton begins to yell at Duke who completely ignores him so Dutton begins the count - 1... 2... 3... 4...

Duke releases the choke at 4 then lifts Ci up and slams his head on the turnbuckle and follows up with a short-arm clothesline and again a pin.

1...

2... Again Ci manages to kickout. Duke look up at the ref, takes one ragged breath and begins to choke the life out of Ci!

Almanti - Uh-oh I think George may have finally lost it!

Dutton grabs Dukes arm and pulls him off of Ci. George begins to verbally chew out the ref as Ci slowly but surely gets to his feet. George turns around and is caught with a elbow to the stomach. Ci then sets Duke up for a suplex but Duke uses the tested, tried and true method of hooking Ci leg with his own to prevent himself from being suplexed. George then throws Ci's arm off his neck and delivers a couple hefty blows to Ci's back and drives him to the ground with a DDT. Duke immediately shoots the half-nelson and pins his foe...

One....

Two...

Th- CI AGAIN KICKS OUT and Duke is livid. He grabs Ci by the hair and drives his fist into Ci's head again and again. Finally Dutton pulls him off. Ci is trying to pull himself up using the ropes while Duke stomps away and somehow Ci manages to get all the way back up. Duke again grabs Ci by the hair and goes for a big punch... But this time Ci catches it and begins to fire back with rights of his own. Ci then hits Duke with an inverted Atomic Drop then Ci fires Duke off the ropes and catches him with a powerslam that goes straight into the pin!

1...

2...

Duke kicks out at 2 and a half. Ci Lifts duke to his feet and hits a back suplex and then drops a leg drop on Duke. Ci then picks Duke up again and whips him full force into the turnbuckle to which Duke crashes into and comes stumbling out of... Ci grabs him for a German Suplex or something simular but Duke slings back with a mule kick to the crotch... and Dutton sees it! He's calling for the bell. Duke looks at Dutton then drives him in the face and throws him out of the ring. He then grabs Ci and Piledrives him into the canvas.

Winner via DQ and Still Valor Champion: Big Ci

Pilgrim - Oh my... Duke has went bezerk! he just assaulted the Ref and is continuing to pound Ci

Almanti - Well that stupid ref should not have disqualified Duke.

Pilgrim - But Duke broke the rules it was the only call he could make... Wait, what is Erikson doing?

At this point Lance Erikson climbs into the ring. Lance first looks down at Ci then at Duke. George looks back at Ci and motions to Lance saying he is all yours then he climbs out of the ring. Lance slides out of the ring himself and grabs the Valor Championship belt and slides back in. Ci slowly gets to his feet and turns around only to be blasted in the head with his own belt.

Pilgrim - Lance just hit Big Ci with the Valor Belt! This is insane! Where is security.

Lance throws the belt down and begins to hammer away at the now bloody Ci with closed fists. Lance stands up and stomps Ci a couple times then grabs the belt again and starts driving it down into Ci. Lance then holds the belt high in the air and drops it on Ci as he exits the ring.

Almanti - Well Lance Erikson certainly made an impact tonight!

Pilgrim - But how is Ci going to react to this?

Lance is walking up the aisle with a smirk on his face as Ci lays out cold on the ground.
