The Road to Reckless Abandon 9-7-07

[jtn]

"Know Your Enemy" by Rage Against the Machine as the camera pans the arena and zooms in on various signs held by the fans. The camera stops over at the announce table.

Almanti: Welcome to Power On Wrestling.
Pilgrim: Once more another exciting night planned. Some huge matchups once more on our way to Reckless Abandon and huge announcements planned by Jay T. Nitro.
Almanti: Well let's get this show on the road.

Richard Huff: The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

Gangsters by The Specials hits the arena as Splinter emerges from the curtain to a healthy dose of cheers.

Huff: Introducing first, from Liverpool, England…. “The Rude Boy” Splinter!

Splinter runs to the ring, slides in under the ropes, mounts the turnbuckle and salutes the people.

Huff: And his opponent, from Washington D.C., President Robert Pliskin!

Pliskin struts to the ring waving to the booing fans in presidential fashion. He takes a moment to pose next to an American flag hanging along the crowd barrier before entering the ring and staring down Splinter.

Splinter vs. President Robert Pliskin

Referee Tanner Dutton calls for the bell and Pliskin and Splinter immediately tie up. Pliskin takes advantage of his superior size and shoves Splinter into the corner.

Alex Pilgrim: Pliskin wasting no time utilizing his size advantage.

Pliskin is backed off his prey by the referee. Splinter emerges from the corner and the two men again meet in a collar and elbow tie-up. Splinter holds out longer but is eventually sent to the mat with a powerful shove. Splinter immediately regains his feet and charges after Pliskin. Pliskin sidesteps and Splinter hits the ropes. Pliskin attempts to shove his knee into Splinter’s gut but the Rude Boy counters into a schoolboy. Dutton counts….

1….

Pliskin easily kicks out and gets to his feet. Splinter greets him with a quick armdrag and then hits the ropes. Pliskin regains his footing only to be sent back to the mat with a spinning wheel kick. Splinter mockingly dances around the fallen Pliskin.

Tony Almanti: Fast and furious start to this match. Both men are out to prove a point and settle the score from last week but I wouldn’t taunt such a powerful man.

Pilgrim: Splinter with a textbook suplex, and he’s going for the Sharpshooter!

Almanti: Way too early for that….

Pliskin easily thwarts the sharpshooter and rolls to the outside of the ring. Splinter wastes no time and charges with a baseball slide knocking Pliskin against the barrier. Splinter grabs Pliskin and rolls him back into the ring. Splinter mounts the ropes and comes flying with a clothesline, but crashes to the mat hard as Pliskin skirts aside at the last moment. Splinter takes to his knees in pain and is met by a charging big boot from Pliskin.

Almanti: War on Terror! It’s over…. well not the war, the match.

Pliskin makes the cover.

Kickout!

Pliskin nails Splinter in the head his a short jab and covers again.

Kickout!

Pliskin grabs Splinters right arm and gives it a good twist locking on a Fujiwara armbar. Splinter struggles to the ropes. Pliskin uses all of his count before releasing the hold.

Pilgrim: Here we go, both men are submission aficionados.

Pliskin rolls out of the ring and pulls Splinter prone onto the apron. Pliskin leaps up to the apron and lands a vicious guillotine leg drop. Pliskin drags his foe back into the ring and locks on a single-leg crab. Tanner Dutton checks Splinter but he isn’t ready to die yet.

Almanti: Pliskin firmly in control of the situation in the ring, but apparently not at home in the bedroom.

Pilgrim: This is neither the time nor place for political gossip.

Pliskin becomes impatient and releases the hold. He immediately brings Splinter to his feet. Splinter nails Pliskin in the gut with two elbow shots, but Pliskin retains control and whips Splinter into the ropes. Pliskin catches the rebounding Splinter with an overhead belly-to-belly. A dazed Splinter is rolled to his feet by the momentum of the hold. Pliskin grabs Splinter by the arm and hits a short-arm clothesline. Pliskin peels Splinter from the mat and hits a belly to back backbreaker. Pliskin holds Splinter across his knees and waves to the fans.

Pilgrim: Pliskin is just toying with the newcomer now.

Pliskin positions Splinter for a reverse DDT.

Almanti: Code Red! A beautiful thing to behold.

Pilgrim: Pliskin being a little leisurely here.

Pliskin brings Splinter hard to the mat and locks on the Dragon sleeper. The referee is quick to check on Splinter, who is red-faced from the pain and struggle. Dutton lifts Splinters free arm and it falls to the mat.

1!

Splinter’s arm is raised in the air.

2!

Almanti: I didn’t expect Pliskin to squash the rat like this.

Pilgrim: Splinter in dire straits here.

Almanti: Hey! I made a funny!

Pilgrim: Good for you.

Splinter’s arm is raised in the air yet again. It falls…. but whips back in the air at the last second. Pliskin attempts to clamp on the scissors but Splinter has caught his second wind. Splinter struggles towards the ropes dragging a kneeling Pliskin along and catches a foot. The ref calls for a break but Splinter preempts and uses the leverage to flip over Pliskin and catch him with a reverse suplex.

Pilgrim: Beautiful counter….

Almanti: From a less than beautiful man.

Splinter crashes back to the mat from exhaustion. The referee begins to count.

Pliskin reaches the ropes and begins dragging himself up.

Pliskin reaches his feet and shakes off the cobwebs. He approaches the now kneeling Splinter. Pliskin lazily throws an axe handle but is met his a punch to the gut. Pliskin staggers back as Splinter hits another, then another, and then finally comes to his feet. Splinter then hits the doubled over President with a swinging neck breaker. Splinter hooks a leg but Pliskin kicks out before the referee hits the mat. Both men reach their feet at the same time. Pliskin throws a left, but Splinter blocks and sends out his own. Splinters blow knocks Pliskin into the corner. Splinter charges in with a splash but crashes face first on the top turnbuckle. Pliskin follows with an STO and then leans back for a rest against the ropes.

Almanti: Like a good politician, he offers a little bit of hope and then dashes everyone’s dreams.

Pliskin lands an elbow drop the Splinters chest before pulling the Rude Boy back to his feet. Pliskin seats his foe on the top turnbuckle and moves in for a muscle buster. Pliskin tugs on Splinter but Splinter is firmly latched onto the rope. Splinter brings a knee into Pliskin’s jaw sending the Prez reeling. Splinter pulls himself to his feet perched on the top rope. Pliskin moves back in and climbs to the middle rope. The two grapplers exchange blows.

Pilgrim: Things are heating up.

Almanti: This situation never leads to a pleasant result.

Pliskin gains the advantage and hooks Splinter for a superplex, but a desperate Splinter turns the tide with a knee to the Presidential jewels..

Almanti: The First Lady just cringed.

Pliskin falls crotch to a seated position on the ropes. The President is sent viciously to the center of the ring with a reverse Frankensteiner from Splinter. Splinter immediately pins Pliskin to the mat with a cradle.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Winner via Pinfall: Splinter

Huff: Here is your winner…. Splinter!

Pilgrim: Huge win for Splinter!

Almanti: A dirty win. He might have forever ended the President’s love life. Heinous.

Splinter leaps to his feet as the crowd lets out a cheer of approval. A dismayed Pliskin rolls from the ring favoring his crotch, shouting at the referee.

[jtn]

Splinter is seen backstage. He rushes past Rich Morrison. Splinter stops and turns back to Morrison.

Splinter: Mr. Morrison I believe I just proved I deserve something here in POW.

Rich: I agree. It was an amazing match. You have shined the last two weeks. How about a Television Championship match?

Splinter: Next week?

Rich: Sure. Why not? I'm feeling generous.

Splinter: That championship will be mine.

Splinter starts to walk away as King Cobra comes through the crowd. Cobra hits Splinter from behind. Splinter stumbles down as Cobra spins to the front of Splinter and lifts him into the air and hits the Snake Bite leaving the new number one contender laying in the back hallway.

Cobra starts to walk off leaving Morrison grinning.

Rich: I'll keep that in mind Cobra.

Cobra smiles back at Rich.

Rich: Look's like we have another new contender to the TV title.

Cobra nods in acceptance as he heads down the hall.

[jtn]

The camera pans back to Almanti and Pilgrim.

Almanti: Next up The Order is set to take on two former Northeast stars.
Pilgrim: Jason Resurrection and Mick Cormac team up to face Shadow and Hellfire.

Without any warning Morrison shows up on the video screen.

Rich: Actually Alex, they won't be. See Shadow and Hellfire had a hard time making it to the arena. And I can't find Resurrection and Cormac anywhere. So this match will NOT be taking place.

Almanti: Thank you Mr. Morrison! I don't think I could have sat through that.
Pilgrim: Oh shut up. It's POW superstars the best in the world.
Almanti: Well the best would make it to the arena and perform. So they aren't that.

Morrison vanishes from screen as it fades to commercial.

[jtn]

[jtn]

Pilgrim: Whoops sorry, a little commerical run off. We already have the participants in the ring for the next match.
Almanti: Who's editting tonight? They should be fired.
Pilgrim: Isn't it your nephew?
Almanti: Uhhh....

**Are You Ready For Your Close Up's....BITCHES**
Lights, Camera, Action comes on the speakers as the lights go out a few lights of blue and orange are panning over the entranceway as a hooded Night and Daye both walk out Daye walks ahead and kneels down as Night turns around behind him. Night puts his hands in the air and the two lift their hoods at the same time as the lights comes on. They both walk down to the ring taunting fans along the way with their signature "close up" taunt. They get into the ring and get loose before the match.

Huff: Introducing first, from New York City, New York. Weighing in at 582 pounds. They are the team of Daye and Night. The FINAL CUT!

“(Can't You) Trip Like I Do” by Filter hits 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.

"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: Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. GEORGE DUKE!

The crowd lets loose with a chorus of boos.

Huff: And introducing second, from Seattle, Washington. SCOTT LANEGAN!

The crowd lets out mostly cheers with some boos.

Pilgrim: And this match is underway.

Almanti: He’s stomping a mudhole in ‘im.

Pilgrim: That sounds like a recycled line, Tony.

Lanegan walks across the ring and looks at Duke. He runs across and goes for a boot to the head, but Duke rolls out at the last moment. Lanegan stubs his leg on the bottom turnbuckle and steps back, holding his foot. Duke kicks out and hits the leg out from under Lanegan. Lanegan falls face first to the mat.

[jtn]

JTN and Morrison are backstage both nodding agreeing over something. It's a strange sight.

Jay: He has to be suspended again. This is uncalled for.

Rich: Suprisingly I agree. I like him but he's not helping ME make money with his actions.

Jay: Well shame to see him go right after he came back.

Rich: He's a loose cannon. If he comes back next time we need to keep him under strict watch.

Jay: Agreed.

Just then officials drags George Duke past the pair of POW Higher Ups. JTN shakes his head as Rich stares right into Duke's eyes.

Rich: Sorry George but you're suspended again. Get your things and get out of my arena.

George: Hah! You're making a huge mistake.

The officials drag Duke off as the scene fades.

Hard Slammin’ by The Blackout kicks in as Kyle Neverwinter emerges from behind the curtain. He then begins to walk down the aisle as he gets mixed reaction from the crowd. He does not let this bother him as he stares at the ring showing no remorse for his opponent. He then circles the ring before sliding in and staring at the ref forcing him to back out of the ring in fear.

Pilgrim: Kyle looks focused tonight!

Almanti: Yeah, no doubt about it, I thought he was going to start beating on McElvoy for a second!


Huff: Ladies and Gentleman the following contest is set for a one fall, first let me introduce to you hailing from South Wales in the United Kingdom standing 5’10” and weighing in at 210 lbs, this is Kyle NEVERWINTERRRRRRRRRR!!!

The opening guitar rifts of "I Don't Wanna Be" begin to play and the song starts up.

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

Josh Eagles bursts onto the ramp with his hands raised high in the air and the crowd begins to cheer frantically.

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Josh makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the crowd, kissing some girls on the cheeks and ruffling the hair of the younger audience and slides under the ropes and into the ring.

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a deadly crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think about me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Josh makes his way around the ring once holding his hands up in the air and going to each turnbuckle and climbing to the top and giving his signature Eagles taunt to every side of the arena.

Can I have everyone's attention please
See, not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I'm trying to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

The music finishes up and dies down with Josh warming up on the ropes awaiting for the start of the match the crowd still cheering loudly.

Huff: And now his opponent who hails from Belleville, Ontario, Canada… he stands 6’0” and weighs in at 175lbs this is none other then JOSHHHHH EAGLESSSS!

The crowd goes wild at the announcement of Josh where they were more the less silent about Kyle knowing one way or another he wouldn’t care and the noise just picks up as referee McElvoy calls for the opening bell and the match gets underway.

Pin-Fall Only Match
Josh Eagles vs. Kyle Neverwinter

Pilgrim: Alright here we go, I already know this match is going to be a candidate for match of the year!!

Almanti: Or a candidate for slaughter of the year when Kyle is done with Eagles.

Pilgrim: I doubt it, these two are pretty close in size and use a lot of the same style.

Almanti: Exactly and Kyle isn’t injured!

In the ring Kyle and Josh are just staring at each other, sizing each other up, neither man moving or blinking waiting for the other to make a move. Josh flicks his wrist to loosen it up and Kyle flinches thinking the match was about to start, Josh smiles and both men rush into the center of the ring. Josh gets the upper hand, instead of locking him up he takes Kyle over with a deep arm drag and then pops back up delivering another one as Kyle rushes back in, Josh pops back up and attempts again, but Kyle counters and hits Josh with an arm drag of his own, both men pop back up again but Kyle is caught in the chin with a drop kick and he hits the mat and Josh is quick to get into the cover, McElvoy drops.

1
Kick out! Kyle gets back to his feet quickly and both him and Eagles lock up and Kyle pushes Josh right back into the corner. McElvoy gets in between calling for a break, Kyle releases Josh but slaps him in the face and backs up, Josh charges right out and slaps Kyle back in the face so hard he hits the canvas and Josh stands above him with a look of disapproval on his face tapping his finger to his heart.

Pilgrim: I think Josh was right, his heart and soul are going to give him the advantage in this match.

Almanti: Yeah, ok, we’ll see!

Josh backs off and allows Kyle to get to his feet, he is rubbing his jaw and looking at Josh, still with no passion in his eyes, then both men again burst forward and go to lock up, but Kyle by passes the lockup and attempts to bury a knee into Josh’s midsection, but it looks like Josh seen it coming as he rolls right over the knee grabbing Kyle under the legs and bringing him over into a quick school boy pin, and McElvoy drops, but doesn’t start the count as Kyle’s right leg is touching the middle rope. Josh let’s go of the pin and gets up as does Kyle who makes the mistake of having his back turned and Josh picks him up and drops him on his head with a back suplex.

This time Josh doesn’t go for the cover but heads to the outside of the ring in an attempt to climb the turnbuckle, but as soon as he reaches the top Kyle rolls out of the ring to the outside to avoid the maneuver. Josh instead hops down from the ropes and runs across the ring and jumps into the air flipping over the top rope landing on a surprised Kyle taking him out and catching his own leg on the ring barrier.

Pilgrim: I don’t know who Josh hurt more… himself or Kyle?

Almanti: That is why it is called a high risk move, why these idiots do it? I will never know!

Kyle is laying on the ground outside motionless and Josh is rolling around clutching his leg as McElvoy starts up the count.

Pilgrim: My god that was just way too close for comfort.

Almanti: No it wasn’t Kyle was just catching a breather and using the maximum time allowed.

Back in the ring Kyle was quicker to get the advantage after a sharp kick to the now agitated knee of Eagles and was now stomping on Josh’s knee as he lay on the ground trying to crawl to the ropes between stompings. Kyle lets up and runs at the ropes leaping up and coming off them with a lionsault that lands right across Josh’s knee causing him to scream in pain. No expression crosses Kyles face as he grabs the injured leg and drags Josh back to the middle of the ring and drops down with an elbow across his knee and stays there pulling back on the leg. McElvoy asks Josh is he wants to stop, but Josh refuses and is too far away to reach the ropes. Josh lifts his free leg up and drives it down onto Kyle’s head, once, twice, three times before he finally lets up and Josh rolls across to be closer to the ropes.

Kyle begins to get to his feet as does Josh who is using the ropes, but Kyle comes in too fast and while Josh is still holding onto the ropes he kicks him quickly in the back of the leg taking his legs out from under him. Kyle then places the hurt leg on the rope and grabs onto the top with both hands jumping into the air and bringing his full bodyweight down upon the hurt knee. Josh screams in pain and Kyle does the same move over again and this time McElvoy drags Kyle away from Josh and gives him a warning, Kyle just looks on not caring.

Pilgrim: Now I know Josh managed to beat John Anthony and all, but that was a man who refused to target his injury unless he had to!

Almanti: Now he is in the ring with a man who seems to be bent on breaking that leg at whatever costs, how poetic.

Pilgrim: Poetic?

Almanti: Yes, poetic!

Kyle has now again got Josh dragged back to the center of the ring, but this time has him flipped over and locked in a half Boston crab again applying a lot of pressure onto Josh’s knee. McElvoy is in perfect position asking Josh over and over if he wants to give up, but Josh is too stubborn and even when Kyle continues to lean back more and more he refuses to give in. The screams of pain from Josh can be heard throughout the arena and it seems to rile up the crowd who begin to chant “EAGLES, EAGLES, EAGLES”. A look of determination spasms across Josh’s face and he lifts his torso off the mat and drags Kyle across the ring and manages to reach the ropes, Kyle continues to hold onto the move and McElvoy is forced to count again

Kyle releases Josh before McElvoy can reach the 5 count and as he is backing away he stomps on the back of Josh’s leg for good measure. Kyle then stands in the center of the ring and waits for Josh to begin to get back to his feet, as he does Kyle stocks around behind him and rushes in, but Josh uses the ropes to elevate his jump and leaps into the air falling backwards and locking Kyle into the Eagles Claw (Triangle Choke) as he comes down.

Pilgrim: Now it’s over… this is it, how he would have beaten John Anthony!

Almanti: WOULD HAVE! Remember Kailus got involved last time this happened.

Josh is wrenching on the hold with all his might and the air is being cut off so much the Kyle can’t even scream in pain and Josh just leans back and wrenches on the move more, but the way Josh landed the move this time put Kyle a bit too close to the ropes and likely by accident trying to fight his way out, his foot slips under the bottom rope and McElvoy calls for Josh to break the hold and has to ask twice as Josh is in the zone. Josh releases the hold and rolls over backwards, struggling to his feet.

Josh then walks over to Kyle and grabs his right arm dragging him to the center of the ring and tries again to lock the claw back in where Kyle can’t escape, but Kyle pulls free and rolls away toward the ropes. Josh comes after him and Kyle lashes out and catches Josh in the knee with a swift kick watching him fall to the mat face first. Kyle uses the ropes to help himself up and this time Kyle goes to the outside and begins to climb to the top rope. Kyle reaches the top and looks at Josh who is in perfect position then leaps off the top with The Never Winter (Shooting Star Press) and he lands it perfect and goes right into the cover. McElvoy drops for the count.

KICK OUT!!!

Pilgrim: I don’t believe it, did Josh just kick out?

Almanti: I am in shock, even Kyle looks stunned.

For a quick moment a flash of shock spasms across Kyle’s face but is quickly gone as he gets up and once again heads for the top rope. Kyle stares down from the top looking at an immobile Josh and again comes off with the Never Winter, this time to meet both of Josh’s upraised knees in his midsection. Kyle rolls off clutching his chest in pain and laying motionless on the mat and so is Josh. McElvoy again starts a count.

Kyle stumbles towards Josh who is still clutching the ropes for support but gets caught in the midsection with a kick from Josh who then bends down and picks Kyle up over his head locking him in the Eagles Wings (Celtic Cross) still using the ropes for support, then he launches himself toward the middle of the ring dropping the move on Kyle and both men being laid out.

Pilgrim: He hit it, he finally hit the Eagles Wings!

Almanti: Now this really could be over!

But instead of covering Kyle, Josh begins to crawl toward the ropes and heads to the outside slowly he begins to climb the ropes and finds himself positioned for the Sweet Sacrifice (Swanton Bomb), but Kyle kips to his feet and jumps up to the middle rope taking Josh over with a deep arm drag, but showing amazing athletisism Josh changes in mid air and rolls out of the move and runs to the other side of the ring, Kyle hot on his tracks and leaps into the air and comes off with a Whisper In The Wind catching Kyle perfectly.

The adrenaline rush keeps going in Josh as he then pretty quickly gets to the outside and up the ropes and this time manages to come off the top and hit Kyle perfectly with the Sweet Sacrifice, causing the crowd to go wild. Josh covers Kyle, McElvoy counts.

Somehow Kyle manages to get his shoulder up and Josh looks purely shocked. But taking no time to think Josh goes up the ropes again and gets ready for the Sweet Sacrifice coming off, but Kyle rolls toward the ropes and out of the way, but Josh looks to have expected it as he didn’t come off with a real SS, but instead a front roll that brings him right back to his feet. Kyle is using the ropes to help himself up and Josh is waiting behind him and as he turns around he is nailed with a stiff chop, followed by another, and another backing him all the way into the corner, where using the ropes for support once more he places Kyle on the top and nails him with another stiff chop before climbing all the way to the top with him. Josh leaps up for a Frankenstiener but switches his position half way through and instead send Kyle and himself crashing to the outside of the ring with force.

Pilgrim: OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD… did you see that? We are going to need a medical team out here pronto!

Almanti: What was Josh thinking? Has he gone mad or something?

McElvoy doesn’t start the count but slides to the outside to check on both Kyle and Josh who are both not moving and begins to signal for medical help. After a few moments the EMT’s begin to file down the ramp, but Josh is now moving and is back to his knees, Kyle still lays motionless. Josh crawls his way over to Kyle and drags him to his feet with him, McElvoy and the EMT’s begging him to let him be checked but Josh just keeps saying it’s all about heart and he throws Kyle back into the ring under the bottom rope and crawls in after and makes the cover. McElvoy slides in and counts.

Winner via Pinfall: Josh Eagles

Pilgrim: That might well be the show stealer right there.

Almanti: That was incredible, neither man willing to give in!

Josh gets to his feet and raises his arm and the crowd goes crazy as he slumps back against the ropes, from the back Flap Flanagan comes running down and slides into the ring, grabbing Josh before he falls to the mat and supporting him and helping him outta the ring and up the ramp as the EMT’s attend to Neverwinter.

Non-title
Finisher Only Match
Kailus Holmes vs. Flap Flanagan

The match begins with Flap and Kailus circling each other. They lock up and Kailus easily pushes Flap backwards into the turnbuckle and Holmes quickly runs in and drives a knee into the stomach of the Flanchise Player! Kailus follows up with 4 more knees and he back out of the corner as Flanagan drops to his knees clutching his stomach then falls to the mat. Holmes is right back on top of Flap stomping the entire body of his opponent. Holmes lifts Flap back up and body slams him hard back into the mat.

Pilgrim - You think the Champ is trying to send a message to Josh Eagles?

Almanti - Oh no doubt, Eagles helped cause Holmes’ team to lose last week. What better way to get revenge then to destroy Josh’s BFF.

Holmes sits Flap up into a sitting postition and kicks him hard in the back. Kailus follows it up with a running knee drop. Holmes in now standing over Flap and is slapping him in the face.

Pilgrim - How disrespectful... Holmes is treating the Open-Weight Champion like garbage!

Holmes is now trash-talking Flanagan when all of a sudden Flap’s hand reaches up and grabs Kailus by the throat!

Almanti - What the Hell is this? The UnderFlapper!

Pilgrim - That’s what it looks like!

Flap slowly gets to his feet whilst still holding Holmes’ throat... Flap now unleashes a flurry of lefts and rights on Holmes and somehow Flap musters the strength to scoop slam Holmes! Flap mounts the World Champion and is unleashing some closed fists then Flap continues the punishment with a standing leg drop then lifts Holmes back up but Kailus cuts him off with a punch to the midsection and a knee to the chin that rocks Flanagan. Holmes tries another kick but Flap catches his leg and spins him around and sets him up for the Flanchiser!!!!

Pilgrim - This is it!

Holmes counters his way out of the move with a couple elbows to the head then locks on a front face look and from there goes into a suplex to face buster combination. Holmes now looks on a camel clutch.

Pilgrim - I don’t get it... The Camel Clutch isn’t Holmes’ finisher... it’s the Iron Sheik’s. Why is he doing that?

Almanti - It’s all about hurting the scrawny guy with big ears right now Alex... Kailus just wants to make Flanagan suffer.

Flap is writhing in pain but somehow he gets his feet under him and stands up with Kailus still piggybacking on him.


Pilgrim - Amazing! How is Flap so strong!

Flap charges backwards into the turnbuckle and Holmes releases his grip. Flap slams back again with a back elbow and a rolling kangaroo kick that creates distance between Flap and Holmes... Kailus looks like he’s bleeding a bit from the mouth, he wipes away the blood...

Almanti - Uh-oh... Run Flanagan! Kailus is mad now!

Holmes charges at Flap with a clothesline that Flap ducks and counters with a series of left jabs to Holmes chin and he finishes the combo with a jumping headbunt. Flap then quickly hits the ropes and charges at Holmes and attempts a clothesline of his own that connects and sends Kailus to the ground. Holmes rolls out of the ring where he is quickly joined by Bailey and Isaac. Flap walks over to his corner and ALF pops open a Dr. Pepper and Flap chugs it.

Pilgrim - Hm... This must be the break between rounds?

Holmes looks over at Flap and he tell Isaac to get him... Marshall cracks his knuckles and climbs up on the apron... but ALF dashes around the ring and grabs Marshall’s ankles and pulling him off the apron... Holmes angrily looks at ALF and the Melmac Maniac responds with a certain gesture that is commonly associated with two certain words... and Holmes is steaming and he also not paying attention as Flap planchas over the ropes taking out Holmes, Marshall and Tinsley! Flap grabs Kailus and rolls him back into the ring and Flap climbs the turnbuckle and waits for The World Champion to rise to his feet... Flap comes off with a Double Axe Handle... THWACK! And the Champion is stunned! Flap quickly hits the ropes but Holmes regains his wits and catches Flap with a Spine Buster and now it’s Holmes who is administrating mounted closed fists on the Flanchise. Holmes grabs Flap by the hair and drags him to the corner and lays Flap’s head on the bottom turnbuckle then runs across the ring and returns with a huge kick to Flap’s face!

Almanti - *SPITS DRINK* Whoa!

Pilgrim - Ok! Now this is too much... We know Flap is the toughest man in POW but this... is sickening.

Holmes looks out at the crowd and grins a most sinister grin then hits the ropes again with another sick kick to Flap’s face. Holmes then grabs Flap and lifts him up and sets him up for the F.R.O.

Almanti - This all she wrote... Flap can’t be conscious after those kicks.

Kailus throws Flap up and lifts his knees but somehow Flap gets the momentum to slap away Holmes’ knees and Flap just hits the mat... Hard

Pilgrim - I don’t believe it! Flap is still in it.


Flap slowly gets to his feet as does Holmes and they begins to trade punches... Flap begins to get the advantage and starts peppering Holmes.

Almanti - Kailus shouldn’t play shot for shot with a Flanagan... they are too dumb to die!

Flap grabs Holmes and irish whips him off the ropes and when Holmes returns Flap catches him with a chop block that sends Holmes flipping over Flanagan.

Almanti - Whoa... Cheap shot!

Now Isaac climbs back into the ring and starts to stomp over towards Flap, he grabs Flap by the throat and hoists him into the air.

Pilgrim - What is this! The Ref should DQ Holmes right now...

Almanti - It’s finisher only... There is no other rules.

Flap is gasping for breath... but musters the strength to drive a kneecap into the crotch of the Enforcer... Isaac drops Flap and holds the injured spot of his anatomy as ALF climbs the ropes and dives off with a crossbody... Isaac catches him in mid-air.... Suddenly WHAM! Flap charges in with a SPEAR that flattens Isaac and ALF safely rolls out of the ring. Kailus is now back to his feet and he attacks Flap from behind... but even with 100 pounds of extra weight the blow does phase Flap instead... The Open-Weight Champion is FLAPPING UP! Flanagan turns around a points at Holmes as the crowd yells “YOU!” Holmes attempts a punch but Flap blocks and delivers three punches of his own then whips Kailus into the ropes and hits a Big Boot...

Almanti - Wait! Can Flap do this!?

Pilgrim - Apparently he can Tony!

Flap cups his hand to his ear as the crowd cheers, Flap bounces off the ropes... ATOMIC LEG DROP!!!

Almanti - That’s not Flap’s Finisher! That doesn’t count!

Pilgrim - No, No it doesn’t... Hey wait a minute!

Flap is signaling for the Flanchiser when Kyle Neverwinter comes running down the aisle...

Pilgrim - Why is he here?

Almanti - Well No Remorse lost one battle tonight and I don’t think Kyle want to go 0-2!

Kyle hooks Flaps foot, causing Flanagan to lose his balance. Flap turns around and starts mouthing off at Kyle... giving Kailus time to get up. Flap turns around... SPEAR by Holmes and Referee McElvoy rings the bell.

Pilgrim - It’s over... Kailus hit his finisher and wins... but it doesn’t look like the party is over.

Neverwinter, Holmes and Marshall begin to stomp away at Flanagan... ALF gets back into the ring but is quickly dispatched by a Big Boot from Marshall... They stand Flap back up and Kailus hits another SPEAR! Suddenly “I Don’t Wanna Be” begins to kick in as Josh Eagles charges down the ring and slides in... He immediately begins to throw punches at everything that moves - Holmes, Neverwinter and Marshall are being hammered... suddenly Bailey gets into the ring and jumps onto Josh’s back and starts raking his eyes.

Eagles manages to get a hold of her and throw her off but then it booted in the skull by Marshall... Eagles stumbles around and Holmes lifts him up and delivers the F-R-O... Now all four members of No Remorse - Holmes, Neverwinter, Marshall and Tinsley are stomping and pounding Flanagan and Eagles into a pulp when another song hits the P.A. System... His World...

Reck Maverick comes dashing down the aisle and dives through the second and bottom ropes, quickly getting between No Remorse and their prey.

Almanti - Okay... Ninja or no ninja Reck Maverick doesn’t seriously think he can take on all four of them himself does he?

An evil grin spreads across the collective grins of No Remorse. Reck slowly stands up and draws his Sword! Needless to say the grin fades from No Remorse.

Pilgrim - Now THAT... That is an equalizer!

Almanti - HE IS OFFICIALLY INSANE!

Maverick points the blade at Holmes... Neverwinter begins to step forward to fight but a single hand of Holmes holds him back as he looks down at Eagles and Flanagan laying on the ground. He signals for his crew to exits the ring which they do as Reck places the sword back in it’s sheath.

Pilgrim - Is No Remorse afraid of Reck Maverick

Almanti - NO! They accomplished their job! Eagles and Flanagan are out of commission, why waste time on Maverick.

Richard Huff takes the microphone.

Richard Huff - Ladies and Gentlemen - The Winner of the Match: Kailus Holmes!

Winner via Spear: Kailus Holmes

Diary of Jane begins to play as another grin spreads on Kailus’ face. Meanwhile in the ring Reck helps his brother to his feet. Flap shakes the cobwebs out of his head and Reck fills him in on what happened. Flap look up the aisle at Holmes who is taunting him. Josh slowly gets to his feet and places a hand on Reck’s should as a sign of thanks but Reck slaps Eagles’ hand away and kicks him in the chest sending Josh back into the turnbuckle. Josh looks at Maverick confused as Reck climbs out of the ring and hops the barricade and makes his way out through the crowd. Holmes watches him leave and then both teams make eye contact as No Remorse continues to flaunt their victory.

Pilgrim - What was up with Maverick... He comes out saves Flap and Josh from No Remorse then kicks Eagles? What gives.

Almanti - I told you he was crazy.

Josh continues to hold his chest as No Remorse make their exit.

"Kobrakai" by Lost Prophets hits as JTN comes out onto the stage. He has a mic in hand and his music dies down as soon as he soaks in the fans response. JTN raises the mic to his mouth.

Jay: Well we need to make some matches for Reckless Abandon. Now we all know Josh Eagles and Kailus Holmes will do battle for the POW World Heavyweight Championship....and Reck Maverick and John Anthony will fight to unify the new POW National Heavyweight Championship....but we don't know the rest of the matchups. So let's see what I can do.

JTN pretends to think for a second.

Jay: How does Big Ci defending his Valor Championship against Kyle Neverwinter sound?

The crowd pops.

Jay: While Buddy Love defends his championship against Scott Lanegan....

The crowd pops louder.

Jay: And the winners of those two matches then face each other to unify the Mid Atlantic Championship and Valor Championship into one title....

The crowd explodes at the making of the mini tournament.

Jay: Now we have tag team championships....two of them actually....so the CIA will face the Rite of Chaos to unify the tag team championships.

Once more the crowd explodes.

Jay: We still have more championships that need to be taken care of. So Flap Flanagan, and the winner of Lestat, King Corba and Splinter match...will step into the ring together to combine the Openweight championship into the POW Television Championship.

Again the building shakes at a huge announcement.

Jay: Now Final Cut seems to be having problems with Nick Pickles and Bubba....now Pickles was fired from being commissioner, but he does have a talent contract until Reckless Abandon....so Final Cut will take on Nick Pickles and Bubba in a tag team match and the winners earn a POW Tag Team Championship Match for a later date. Now Pickles and Bubba's contracts may be officially up after Reckless Abandon but I believe a tag team title shot will cause them to stay....so may the best team win.

JTN turns to walk away.

Jay: Oh....and by the way.......enjoy the main event....

JTN heads to the back as the crowd buzzes about all his matchmaking for Reckless Abandon.

Buddy is tossing out Mardi Gras beads to the fans and Anthony is leaning against the turnbuckle as Huff bows and exits the ring. All four men move toward the center of the ring as Referee Dutton checks for illegal objects then calls for the bell!

RING-A-DING-DING!

All four men are standing in the center of the ring looking across at their respective Reckless Abandon opponents... Suddenly they all charge in and starting slugging each other with fists of fury. Big Ci grabs Buddy Love and tosses him into a turnbuckle and starts unleashing some Ric Flair like Knife Edge chops while John Anthony arm drags Reck Maverick in the center of the ring. Dutton is now forcing Ci and Love out of the ring.

Pilgrim - It looks like Maverick and Anthony are starting this contest.

John picks Reck up off the mat from but Maverick quickly pushes Anthony back. They look at each other briefly and then lock up each man is trying to get the advantage here but they are fairly matched. Anthony manages to grab a hold of Reck’s arm and apply an arm ringer and synchs in the pressure. Maverick looks for an escape and find one by executing a front flip to reverse the pressure and now has Anthony in the hold but John quickly escapes by kicking Reck in the thigh a couple times forcing Reck Maverick to break the hold. Maverick holds the back on his leg for a second then they lock up again - this time Reck applies a headlock and from there comes into a simple - yet - effective takedown, Anthony reaches up with his legs and hooks Reck’s head and brings him back into a leg scissors and Maverick kips up to break out of it.

Again Anthony and Maverick face off. Anthony lunges in again for a lock up but Maverick shifts his weight this time and drives his knee into John’s midsection - doubling him over.

Maverick looks a little surprised.

Almanti - Maverick is tagged out and the first moral victory goes to John Anthony!

Pilgrim - How so?

Almanti - They wanted to see who could go longer... Reck tagged out - he lost!

Pilgrim - Okay...

Big Ci steps through the ropes and immediately barrels over Anthony with a clothesline and a running knee drop! Ci quickly covers Anthony but fails to get a count. Ci lifts Anthony off the mat and hooks John up for a suplex - Anthony is trying to block it but Ci manages to power him up and over anyway. Ci then grips John in a chin lock as Buddy slaps his corners turnbuckle pad trying to will his partner back into the fight. Somehow John fights back up to his feet and he drives a couple elbows into Ci’s stomach and shoots him off the ropes and catches him with a dropkick. Anthony then begins to crawl towards his corner as Ci stumbles back to his feet and both men make the tag simultaneously! Both Maverick and Johansson fly into the ring and begin peppering each other with blows - Johansson being the more accomplished striker gets the advantage over Reck in the punch off and quickly snaps Reck over with a snap suplex... Buddy gets to his feet and Maverick actually Kips Up! Buddy Love looks a little shocked as Reck turns to face him then crouches into a combat stance and uses the classic “Come Hither” hand gesture. Love comes in a throws a couple body blows and an uppercut before Maverick catches one of Buddy’s punches and kicks him in the chest and snapmares him and delivers a low drop to the back. Reck quickly crouches on his opponent for the pin but like before there has not been enough damage for a count to be made. Reck picks up Johansson and whips him into the corner then runs after him - rolls across the ground and delivers a clothesline into the corner - Reck then grabs a headlock and attempts a bulldog but Love throws him off hard causing Reck to crash into the turnbuckle across the ring and stumble backwards giving Buddy time to run in deliver a devastating half nelson suplex then a running leg drop and goes for the pin.

Again Reck manages to kick out at the one count. John then stands Reck up again and this time locks on a Guillotine Choke and wraps his legs around Reck’s waist bringing the Ninja down to the mat. The Ref asks Reck if he wants to give up the fight - the first couple times Reck lets out an audible “NO” so Anthony continues to put on more pressure... There now is no response from Maverick so Dutton is doing the vintage “Drop your hand three times and it’s over” routine... He raises Reck’s arm once...

It falls... He raises it a second time....

It falls again... He raises for the final time and let’s go...

THUMBS UP!!!

Reck slowly starts to stand with all of John’s weight still trying to hold him down... Reck gets to his feet and drives Anthony back into the mat with a Spinebuster! Both men are now on the mat but due to the nature of the Spine Buster Reck is on top of Anthony so Dutton makes the count...

Reck was close enough to the ropes to get his foot on it. Buddy grabs Maverick by the hair and lifts him up and goes for the Jellow Shot but Reck manages throw him off and Johansson drops to the mat hard as Maverick falls to his knees...

Pilgrim - Well given the opponents Maverick has battled here in POW if there is one move he knows how to counter it would be the Jellow Shot aka the Diamond Cutter but can he now make the tag!

Reck slowly looks around trying to locate his tag partner, he finally sees him and slowly begins to crawl to his corner... Buddy tags in John Anthony but Maverick makes the HOT TAG and here comes Ci who is completely blowing over John Anthony and Buddy Love! He catches Love with a Spine Buster then catches Anthony with the Ace Crusher and goes for the pin.

John Anthony kicks out as Buddy Love charges in to make the save but Dutton quickly forces him out of the ring. Big Ci then grabs Anthony be the neck and lifts him up and locks in the Katahajime! Big Ci grins at Buddy while doing this since he’s taking out Love’s partner with Buddy’s own finisher. John fights for an escape and finds it by stomping on Ci’s foot then reversing the Katahajime into a variation of the Russian Leg Sweep. Anthony - who is coughing a little makes his way over and tags in Buddy Johansson who comes in and waits for Ci to get up before administering some Shake, Rattle & Roll action on Ci who is laid out with the final punch! Buddy Love is now starting to feel a little pumped up as he is doing a little Buddy Love dance for the fans then points to the turnbuckle! Buddy goes over to the turnbuckle and climbs it and signals for the “Flashing Boobies” and dives off with a big splash...

But Ci gets his knees up and Johansson gets all the air driven out of his lungs. Big Ci now gets to his feet and drops a leg drop on Buddy and goes for a pin...

Reck fires off Anthony but Buddy manages to reverse Ci and whip him instead but Ci quickly changes his plan and nails Anthony with a “Lariat from Across The Pond” and Reck charges across the ring at Love but Buddy back drops Reck over the top rope to the floor. Ci and Buddy now face off again Buddy come in for a clothesline of his own but Ci catches him and delivers the first 2 parts of the Trifecta before Anthony gets to his senses and breaks Ci’s grip with a roundhouse to the back of the head that causes Ci to collapse to the mat but Buddy is still out on the ground as well so Dutton begins the 10 count..

John Anthony comes back in and checks on Buddy who is beginning to get up. The two North East Champions walk up to the Midwest Champs as Reck’s Music cuts out. The four men look at each other for a moment and Reck pulls his mask down and says something to Anthony then extends his hand... Anthony looks at it for a second then shakes it! Ci and Love repeat the gesture as Dutton enters the ring and hads Love and Anthony their respective belts. All four men now hold their belts up into the air as the crowd cheers!

Pilgrim - Now this is a moment Tony... Four top caliber champions who are suppose to battle at Reckless Abandon put their professional differences aside to give the POW fans a scene that no-one will soon forget!

Almanti - I’m glad they are friends now Alex because once they get to New York there won’t be any friends!
