GCWA Friday Night Inferno



*You ever have one of those months where everything stacks on top of everything else? And it's only the first week? Anyhow, enough of that, we're moving forward!*

*The GCWA logo flashes across the screen, fading into smoke as we see Deana Barrows standing there, smirking at the camera.*

Deana Barrows: Welcome the the world as it is now...

*Flashes of images behind Deana show people wearing masks, riots, explosions, and apparently a music festival of some sort.*

Deana Barrows: There is chaos... unpredictably... and zero order...

*Many of the infamous images of 2020 show up.*

Deana Barrows: But now, there will be order. There will be control. There will be leadership.

*Suddenly, the images change to peace and benevolence. A beautiful sunset. A beach with waves crashing on it. Utter calm.*

Deana Barrows: It is a new era. A Legacy era. And from now on, things are going to be under control... of us...

*Suddenly, the members of Legacy are standing behind Deana, each with a smile crossing their face. All of their gold is displayed to the camera.*

Deana Barrows: To the rest of the GCWA... adapt... or depart...

*Deana gives the camera another of her enigmatic grins as the heat grows. The flames from below seem to surround everything, burning along the edges as the image goes away, illuminating every square inch of the screen. In the flames, shots of different wrestling maneuvers are shown. Punisher. Cancelled. The Sound of Silence. The Death Penalty. Souled Out. The Flight of the Raven. The Perfect Finisher. The Stroke. Crown of Thorns. Each as impressive as you would expect. In the center of the flames, an image of the current GCWA World Heavyweight Champion, Lissie Hope, is shown holding the belt as she smirks at the camera. The fury of the flames overtakes the champion, as she disappears from sight. "Legend" from the Score then plays, leading us into the beginning of Inferno!*

"BANG BANG, BANG BANG, BANG BANG, THIS FIRE'S A WEAPON... BANG BANG, BANG BANG, BANG BANG, WON'T STOP 'TIL WE'RE LEGEND!"

*Throughout the flames, images of the various wrestlers competing in the company flash by, some doing their signature maneuvers, others posing for the camera. As the music hits a crescendo, the screen blows apart, and we return to the GCWA Arena in Dallas, Texas! The audience is cheering loudly from all around as the crowd prepares for another epic show! While there are far fewer costumes than last week, a portion of the crowd does now seem to be set up as a Legacy section, holding up signs reading everything from "Raven Rules" to "I Want To Wed Warstein". We go to ringside.*

Rockwell: We've made it to Friday Night Inferno!

Hood: Finally! Felt like it took forever this time...

Rockwell: Ladies and gentlemen, we've got another amazing show for you tonight. We'll be seeing multiple members of Legacy in competition, their first fights since what happened at Fright or Flight. It's set to be a very strong night of competition!

Hood: And I can't wait to see Legacy dominate...

Rockwell: You're switching pretty fast from The A-List, aren't you, Hood?

Hood: I'm a multitasker, I can kiss up to multiple stables at once.

Rockwell: Sure, sure. Well, it's going to be crazy tonight, so let's get to the action!


Singles Match
Rex Terrestrial (0-0) vs. Aaron Warthog (5-26)

Minos: Our first contest is scheduled for one fall... introducing first... standing 6'1" and weighing 330 lbs... from Charleston, South Carolina... here is Aaron Warthog!!

"Everyone Knows I'm Hog Wild!"

*Hank Williams Jr starts the intro to "Hog Wild" as the fans all turn to look at the entrance ramp. The heavyweight known as Aaron Warthog comes out, jutting out his chin on the stage and facing the audience. He starts down to the ring, pounding on his stomach along the way, ready for another brawl.*

Rockwell: Warthog was hiding in his pillow fort with Memphis Belle this week, due to the election.

Hood: I want to make fun of him. I really do. But he got to spend all that time with Memphis...

Rockwell: Jealous?

Hood: I wouldn't go that far. But you have to admit, Warthog apparently has game... who knew?

Minos: His opponent... making his GCWA Debut... standing 6'6" and weighing 275 lbs... from Atlanta, Georgia... here is "The Complete Delivery" Rex Terrestrial!!

*Welcome to Planet URF plays over the PA system. The fans turn, wanting to see this unique addition to the roster. Unfortunately for them, nothing happens. The music continues to play, but no one appears from the back.*

Rockwell: We don't know much about Rex, other than that he has an intergalactic history with Space Lord.

Hood: Well, we know he's not someone to be on time. Where is he?

Rockwell: Don't tell me we have another attack in the back!!

*The camera shot switches to backstage, where we can see the entrance to the arena ahead. The camera pans around, doing a slow 360, showing... absolutely nothing other than a few puzzled-looking GCWA employees. One shrugs at the camera. We go back to ringside.*

Hood: Nope, no assault. Just no sign of Rex Terrestrial.

Rockwell: Well... damn. That sucks.

Hood: Not for Warthog...

*Warthog is urgently talking to Minos and the referee, wanting this one to be legally counted. The ref seems to have no choice. Minos leaves the ring, as the bell rings.*

Rockwell: So... we've begun...

Hood: He's still got 10 seconds...

*Warthog looks on anxiously, waiting, as the referee begins his count. 1... 2... no sign of anyone... 3... 4... 5... Warthog is sweating, but then he's always sweating... 6... 7... the curtain moves, causing a gasp from Warthog, but it must have just been the wind... 8... 9... Warthog's hands come up... 10!!!!*

Minos: Here is your winner... Aaron Warthog!!

Hood: He did it!! The streak is over!!!

Rockwell: Can we really call it a win when his opponent didn't...

Hood: Shut up, Adrian! Let the big guy have this moment!

*Warthog is jumping up and down, pumping his fists in the air, his first victory in the GCWA in a long time. Sure, he won a few in Outsiders, but this one matters! Memphis Belle is seen running towards the ring, a huge smile on her face. She rolls in and quickly hugs Warthog, who lifts her up into the air on his shoulder Macho-Man style. The crowd, loving a good celebration, is getting into Warthog's excitement.*

Hood: This could be the start of a new run for Aaron Warthog! A victory under his belt, a woman in his arms, life can't be any better!

Rockwell: We're taking this a little too far...

*As Warthog parades back and forth with Memphis on his shoulder, the crowd starts up a "Good For You" chant. Warthog loves it, eventually bringing Memphis back down and giving her a huge kiss in the center of the ring! Finally, the two lovebirds walk off, holding hands, as we cut away.*







*The lights go out in the arena. "Keep Me" by The Black Keys begins to play over the PA. The crowd isn't sure how to react as the music is unfamiliar to them. White lights begin flash at the top of the entrance way where "Too Sweet" Terry Marshall and First Mate Rodman appear. The crowd gives a mixed reaction. Some boo at this new found look and attitude of Marshall, but some are still loyal Sexamaniacs and cheer him regardless.*

*Marshall struts to the ring, and gone are his traditional red and yellow. Marshall now wears a black bandanna, a black n.W.o t-shirt, and black jeans. Rodman is dressed in a similar attire, and conspicuous by his absence is Dark Lord.*

Rockwell: Well, I see "Too Sweet" Terry Marshall and Dennis Rodman, but where is Space Lord.

Hood: You mean First Mate Rodman and DARK Lord.

*Marshall get into the ring and begins to play a air harmonica on the microphone. The lights come up and the music fades out as Marshall and Rodman stand in the middle of the ring.*

Marshall: YO! YO! YO! DALLE, WHAT DO YA KNOW!?!

*The crowd gives another mixed reaction.*

Terry Marshall: LISTEN UP JACK! The first thing you all gotta realize, brother, is this right here is the future of wrestling. You can call this the Nefarious Wrestling Outsiders, brother. Nefarious, wicked or criminal, and brother, we are more wicked than the witch of the or west. Criminal, well the hands we have been dealt in the GCWA have been nothing short of criminal. Given our rightful title shot, on short notice to prepare, I still had my toes in the water and my ass in the sand when I found out about the match. Then, we not only fight on short notice but the Barrows had to run interference too.

Then, we demand our rightful rematch and the Barrows gotta screw with us again and stack the deck in an ultimate X match and through the Sins of the Father in there for good measure. Well Brothers, Terry Marshall and the Dark Lord are tired of getting jerked around while The Legacy are getting jerked off.

*The crowd once again gives a mixed reaction, but a heavy round of boos come at the mention of The Legacy.*

Terry Marshall: Time after time, we found ourselves on the outside looking in, so what did we do, we decided to go to the outside of the outside. Now we are the outsiders, looking at the outside, and the inside. You probably don't understand, it is complicated math. But you don't need to understand the math, you just need to understand that the N.W.O is here, and we are here for life.

If you don't like it, if you hate it, if you hate us, well I'll tell you right now you STICK IT JACK! The N.W.O is going to take no prisoners as we rip this place down to its filthy rotten core.

*The crowd begins to chant "STICK IT!", and Marshall gives a cocky grin.*

Terry Marshall: Now, you are probably wondering where my man Dark Lord is. Well brother he...

*The Imperial March begins playing over the PA cutting Marshall off. Marshall and Rodman look a bit shocked and confused as the look to the entrance way. The crowd pops big as Major Helmet steps out onto the entrance way.*

Rockwell: MAJOR HELMET IS HERE!

Hood: So? Who cares?

*Helmet marches to the ring with a no nonsense, B.A.M.F walk. The crowd cheers Helmet on as he climbs into the ring. Helmet points at Rodman and then Helmet pulls his face shield down ready for war. Helmet takes a step forward, as does Rodman when Dark Lord descends from the rafters of the GCWA arena.*

*The Crowd is roaring as Dark Lord lands in the ring between Rodman and Helmet. Dark Lord raises a Lightsaber (clearly a replica, duh) and points the red lightsaber in Helmets face. Major Helmet takes a step back and raises his face shield, and in response Dark Lord lowers the lightsaber and holds his other hand out. Marshall places the microphone into Dark Lords hand. Dark Lord begins to pace around the ring slowly.*

Dark Lord: Helmet, I told you that you were fired. Your services are no longer needed, you are going replaced. You do not have the darkness that is required. I have found someone MUCH bolder than you. I have a new major, a new crew.

*Helmet is seen shaking his head and mouthing the word "no" over and over again.*

Dark Lord: MEET YOUR REPLACEMENT!

*Some generic music plays and a man in a all blue military looking suit, with a long blue cape, and a blue hooded masks, marches out. The crowd doesn't know who this man is, but they boo him because they love Helmet.*

Rockwell: So, uh, this is the new Major?

Hood: He looks so regal.

*The man marches to the ring and enters it, and Helmet give him an evil look as the newest member of the NWO enters the ring.*

Major Helmet: This guy? This guy is my replacement? He looks like a walking blueberry.

*Dark Lord shakes his head as the crowd begins to chant.*

CROWD: BLUE BERRY! BLUE BERRY! BLUE BERRY!

Dark Lord: SILENCE!

*The crowd begins to boo, something Dark Lord isn't used to.*

Dark Lord: No, this is not your replacement, this is my new Sargent. This is Sargent Snake. Your replacement is behind you.

*Helmet turns around and is met with a hand full of salt being thrown into his face by Guy Fieri, or well, for copyright reasons, someone that looks like Guy Fieri. Helmet grabs his eyes and staggers backwards right into a backstabber from Sargent Snake.*

Dark Lord: Meet your replacement... MAJOR FLAVOR!

*The crowd erupts with boos as the N.W.O takes it all in and plays to the crowd making them mad. Trash begins to fill the ring, as the upset fans sacrifice their $5 cup of soda for a cool visual and a change to express their anger.*

Terry Marshall: If we will do this to our little buddy Helmet, just imagine what we are going to do to the rest of the GCWA. XAVIER LUX! MARCUS KA'DERRION! TAKE WARNING, BECAUSE YOU TWO ARE AT THE TOP OF OUR HITLIST!

*A cup of cola hits Marshall in the chest. Marshall smirks and wipes his chest.*

Terry Marshall: As far as I'm concerned, all of this trash in the ring represents all you fans out there. You're all a bunch of heel mark pieces of trash and just like Legacy and SOFT, you can all STICK IT!

*Marshall drops the mic and poses as "Keep Me' by The Black Keys plays again.*

Rockwell: This is definitely a confusing and disappointing change...

Hood: You're telling me... I can't root for The A-List, Legacy, AND the NWO! Damn it!

Rockwell: I'm sorry for any pain this causes you, Hood, but we've got to move on.

Hood: I'm a pro, I'll deal with it. I still don't think I can cheer for Dark Lord anyway...


Singles Match
Outcast (4-0) vs. John Thompson (1-2)

Minos: The next match is scheduled for one fall... coming to the ring... standing 6'2" and weighing 220 lbs... from Las Vegas, Nevada... here is John Thompson!!

*The arena goes dark. Simple Man begins playing over the speakers. A lone spotlight appears, and the silhouette of John Thompson stands in the middle of it arms outstretched in a V. For a few moments John Thompson continues to stand in this pose. He slowly drops his arms to the sides, then he begins walking to the ring, the spotlight following him. He enters the ring under the ropes, stands in the center posing in the V formation again. The spot light dims as the arena lights brighten. John circles the ring a few times before settling into his corner.*

Rockwell: Thompson has been pretty quiet this week.

Hood: Has he been helping with the vote counting in Nevada? Because that shit is taking FOREVER man!

Rockwell: I know they say whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but this is getting ridiculous.

Minos: His opponent... standing 6'1" and weighing 228 lbs... from Chicago, Illinois... here is the GCWA Unified X-Division Champion... Outcast!!

*"Existance is Punishment" by Crowbar begins to play, with the fans giving a cheer for the new champion as Outcast makes his way out. He walks towards the ring, the championship held on one shoulder as he considers the competition waiting for him.*

Rockwell: After Outcast's huge victory over The Lost Soul at Fright or Flight, he's looking for his next long-time rival.

Hood: John Thompson has shown that he can wrestle, so he could give Outcast a run for his money. Better than TLS, at least.

Rockwell: TLS is taking a break from wrestling right now, Hood, you can save the insults.

Hood: Why? This is the perfect time, he can't respond! Hah!

*The Bell Rings.*

Rockwell: Okay, let's see where Thompson will rank on Outcast's competition list!

Hood: C'mon, John, show this guy what you've got!

*Outcast hands off the Unified X-Division Title to the referee, telling him to not take it too far as this won't take long. He turns back... as Thompson rushes at him, leaping into a Claymore Kick!! But Outcast dodges out of the way, knocking into the referee, as Thompson flies by, crashing into the corner!! Outcast helps the ref up, throwing a quick "Sorry, don't DQ me" his way as he turns towards where Thompson is hanging in the corner, trying to get free. Outcast darts in wish his own kick, smashing Thompson in the back of the head!! Thompson slumps in the corner, with Outcast pushing him down to hang from the corner before jumping up onto the turnbuckle above him. Outcast then immediately leaps back down with a modified OD (Double Footstomp), smashing Thompson from the turnbuckle!!*

Rockwell: Ouch!! A major misstep from Thompson has this one just about over!

Hood: Man, that's just as disappointing as the vote counters...

Rockwell: Speaking of counting, the ref's there, but Outcast isn't making the pin...

*Thompson is still down, hurting, as the referee hovers nearby. But Outcast is just sitting in the corner, looking extremely disappointed. He didn't come here for such a quick outing. But Thompson doesn't show any signs of recovering quickly, so Outcast slowly pulls himself up. He walks over to Thompson, picking him up just long enough to snap him down with a swinging back breaker!! Thompson crumples to the ground, badly hurt, as Outcast kips back to his feet. He shakes his head again and walks over, pulling Thompson up once more instead of going for the pin. He talks to Thompson for a few seconds, saying that he should have showed up to fight, before lifting him up and delivering Burnout (Package Piledriver)!!! Outcast finally makes the cover... 1... 2... 3!!!*

Minos: Here is your winner... Outcast!!

Rockwell: Well, that was brutally fast...

Hood: Yep, I thought this was going to be a major fight. But Thompson just didn't have it tonight.

Rockwell: Too bad for Outcast, but a win is a win...

*Outcast still looks like he wants more, but the referee is directing him back as he tends to Thompson. A ringside guy brings Outcast his belt, with Outcast patting it on his shoulder before turning away.*



*After the bell rings for the end of the match, Outcast rolls to the outside of the ring and looks infuriated. Outcast marches to the ring announce and grabs the microphone from his hands and rolls back into the ring. Outcast walks around looking a bit angry.*

Outcast: You kidding me with this shit? I give you the fight of my life in an absolute war at Fright or Flight, and in the process capture the Unified X-Division, and what is my next big challenge? A rookie who could barely even show up for this fight. I've been in this sport almost as long as John Thompson has been alive. I didn't spill my blood and become a champion for this, and I DAMN SURE didn't beat addiction for this.

*The crowd cheers a bit, but Outcast pays them no attention.*

Outcast: I want a challenge; I want a fight. I know there is a lot of tough competition here and that Deanna Barrows has been handing out golden tickets like she is Willy fucking Wonka. So, I'm asking who wants a shot at my championship, who wants to step into the ring with me at Darkness Falls?

I don't care if it's someone from Legacy, I don't care if it's E.W. Montgomery, Abi Gold, the giant Druk Dorji, or anyone else. I fear no man born from his mother, and I will face anyone that is willing to sign on the dotted line and step up at Darkness Falls. I'll be here next week, and I'll be sitting right here in the middle of the ring waiting on someone to accept.

*Outcast throws the mic down and holds the Unified X-Division championship over his head as "Existence is Punishment" by Crowbar plays.*

Rockwell: Outcast is throwing down the gauntlet!

Hood: Always a risky thing to do, especially if it's got infinity stones on it.

Rockwell: We'll have to see if someone...

*Suddenly, the crowd is roaring, as Outcast lowers the title. He starts to turn... and gets blasted by Welcome To The Slaughterhouse (Charging Lariat)!!! Outcast is down, as the wrestler gets up over him, looking down at him. You can hear E.W. Montgomery's voice as he asks, "Did I get him?" He leans over, staring at the gold laying on the ground and smiling.*

Rockwell: Montgomery with the quick answer!!

Hood: Hell, Montgomery isn't known for his quickness. This had to be planned before Outcast's challenge!

Rockwell: But it probably didn't help that he mentioned Montgomery's name...

Hood: Yep, he was going to wait until next week for an answer... but sometimes you get answers when you least expect it!

*Montgomery is back up now, moving towards the ropes, taking his time after having pushed himself to get over the railing from the crowd. It wasn't an easy jump but he made it. We fade to commercial.*







*We cut backstage to the locker room of the A-List. We see Dylan Thomas and Dave Branson having a conversation with the X-Factor champion Lord Allton. The conversation gets interrupted by a knocking at the door. Thomas goes over to open the door and standing in the hall is Mike Zybala, holding a box. Thomas faces contorts with anger.*

Dylan Thomas: You! What the hell do you want?!

Mike Zybala: Put away the hate boner, Dylan. Where's Ro...Allton?

*Allton hears the commotion by the door and shouts over.*

Lord Allton: Dylan? Who is it?!

Dylan Thomas: The asshole.

Lord Allton: Barry?!

*Allton tenses ready to fight as Dave, Vincenzo and Tank all stand up, ready to fight as well.*

Dylan Thomas: No. The other asshole.

*Dylan steps to one side revealing Zybala standing in the doorway.*

Lord Allton: Zybala! What brings you to the A-List locker room? At ease boys. Come on in.

*Dylan shakes his head but gestures for Zybala to come in. He walks up to Allton, puts the box on the floor and shakes hands with Allton. He turns his head towards Thomas.*

Mike Zybala: Love you too, Dylan. (Turns back to Allton.) I want to apologize about last week. I keep forgetting that you're teetotal, and felt that a make-up gift was in order. So I got you this.

*Zybala picks up the box and puts it on Allton's lap. Allton looks at it curiously for a bit before he starts to open it and Zybala keeps talking.*

Mike Zybala: Now, I remembered that you were a bird person, but I couldn't find one extraordinary enough for a gift...

Lord Allton: Look Zybala I know that I'm the best Outsider that you've ever had on your roster, but you needn't keep giving me...

*Allton's voice trails off as he takes the lid off of the box peering down inside. This allows the camera to get a good look as well.*

Lord Allton: A...turtle? I'm not sure that I follow...?

Mike Zybala: Well, after I couldn't find you a bird, I started to look around the store, unsure of what to get you. I didn't know about preferences or allergies or anything like that. Then I saw this little guy. Something inside told me to inquire about it. I asked a worker and they told me that this here is a balding's turtle. It's on the endangered list and they weren't really supposed to have it. One of their workers found it near a highway and rescued it and brought it to the store. I figured that with your history of working at a zoo, you would be the perfect guy to take care of him. That, or you knew someone who could. Maybe some zoo with a female so they could continue the species? The store worker said they were calling him Maturin, but you can name him whatever you want..

*Zybala looks down at the turtle, not noticing the look of inner turmoil on Allton's face.*

*Allton cricks his neck a little as he continues to stare down at 'Maturin '*

Lord Allton: 'Maturin'? Really?

*Allton is starting to hear a familiar voice inside his head.*

Pennylord: GETITOUTGETITOUTGETITOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lord Allton: SSSSSsssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh Penny, shush!

Pennylord: KILL IT BEFORE IT KILLS ME!

Lord Allton: It can't kill you! You're inside my head!

*Suddenly Allton snaps back into the room and notices that Dylan, Dave, Lissandra, Vincenzo, Tank and Zybala are all collectively looking at Allton in unison.*

Lord Allton: What are you all staring at?

Lissandra Thomas: 'It can't kill you, you're inside my head'?

*Allton sheepishly shakes his head and Pennywise seems to have calmed down for a time.*

Lord Allton: Never mind that. Thank -you Zybala, this is a very thoughtful gift.

*Allton passes the box to Tank who pushes past Zybala to put the box on the table. Allton turns his attention to Dylan, Lissandra and Dave.*

Lord Allton: Don't you three have a match to get to?

Dylan Thomas: Oh yeah! You're right.

Lissandra Thomas: Are you going to be OK?

Lord Allton: Of course. Now, get going...

*Dylan, Dave and Lissandra walk past Zybala with Dylan and Dave eying him as they walk past. Allton is oblivious to this as he looks at his new pet.*

Lord Allton: Vincenzo... get some vegetables from catering.

Vincenzo Larossia: Sure thing, boss.

Lord Allton: Thanks Zybala. Sometimes I wonder just what your agenda is but... this little guy is very sweet.

Pennylord: HE'LL KILL YOU! HE'LL KILL ME!

Lord Allton: For the love of.... Penny. Quiet.

Mike Zybala: My agenda is keeping my stars happy. Plus, you seem to be able to keep Dylan and Dave under control. I may have beat him bloody in our last encounter, but I get the feeling he wants to return the favor. Besides, you've never given me a reason not to like you personally. I'll leave you be. Hope you like the turtle. Take care.

*Zybala leaves the locker room as Allton stares at the turtle, trying to ignore the screaming in his head.*

Hood: Damn that Zybala, disturbing Lord Allton!

Rockwell: He gave him a turtle!

Hood: The worst pet ever!

Rockwell: I think I can think of a few worse...

Hood: Nope, it's a Zybala turtle, nothing worse!


Singles Match
Xavier Lux (7-2-1) vs. Dylan Thomas (10-9-1)

Minos: Introducing first... weighing 225 pounds... XAVIIIIER LUUUUUX!

*The lights start to flicker, matching the opening riffs and drums of Disturbe's 'The Infection'. After the heavy intro, a brief pyro explosion goes off in the entrance and as lyrics of the song begin, Xavier Lux steps out from behind the smoke left by the pyro. He stands there looking around, indifferent to the mix reaction from the crowd, but feeling full of confidence at the same time. He makes his way down the ramp, keeping his focus in the ring, and once he gets there he slides under the bottom rope, quickly jumping to his feet in the middle of the ring. He then runs the ropes to get the blood pumping and then goes to the corner, doing last minute stretches as he patiently waits for the match to start.*

Rockwell: Xavier Lux and his tag team partner Marcus Ka'Derrion have established themselves as one of the top units in GCWA... but two losses to Legacy must have them questioning their next move.

Hood: Why you gotta be so negative all the time? I'm sure Lux int thinking about anything other than beating the leader of the A List.

Minos: And introducing his opponent... also weighing in at 225 pounds... DYYYYLAAAAAN THOMAAAAAS!

'Watch Me Shine' by Fozzy starts up and Dylan Thomas emerges through the curtain arm in arm with his wife Lissandra Thomas. Both have a huge air of arrogance about them. The arena is FILLED with boos at these two. Does it phase them? Not in the least. Dylan leans over and kisses Lissandra before he makes his way to the ring with a huge smirk on his face, leaving his wife atop the ramp.

Rockwell: He's not bringing Lissandra with him tonight?

Hood: A bold strategy, Cotton. We'll see if it pays off.

*In the ring, Dylan arrogantly shouts at the people whilst on the nearest corner. As the music dies down, Dylan eyes Xavier Lux as the referee calls for the bell.*

*DING! DING! DING!*

*At the opening bell the two men take a few steps towards each other and circle slowly, Dylan Thomas reaching out for a tie up. Xavier Lux slaps his hand away and lunges for Dylan's waist, wrapping him up and tossing him with a quick snap suplex. Thomas skids across the mat and into the corner, quickly popping to his feet. He turns to face Xavier Lux, who charges across the mat and leaps through the air for a massive body splash! Dylan Thomas dives out of the corner and Lux crashes into the turnbuckle, stumbling back to the middle of the mat in a daze. Dylan Thomas senses an opportunity and scrambles back to his feet behind Xavier, slapping on a tight sleeper hold. Xavier tugs at Thomas' arm, trying to escape, but Thomas kicks the back of Xaviers knee and drops him down to the mat for more leverage. Dylan Thomas smirks at the fans, then lets go of the hold to hammer Lux with several hard punches knocking him flat to the canvas! Dylan Thomas bounces off the ring ropes to build momentum, then leaps into the air and drops a heavy knee down on Xaviers midsection.*

Hood: Is it just me, or does Dylan Thomas seem a little more aggressive than usual?

Rockwell: It's not just you. He's looking to make Lux suffer early and often here.

*Dylan Thomas presses his forearm against Xaviers jaw and flattens him out on the mat, making the cover as the referee slides into position to make the count. ONE... TWO... Xavier Lux gets a shoulder up, rolling Thomas off of him and climbing back to his feet. Thomas quickly advances, looking to keep the pressure up, but Lux is prepared and counters with an arm drag takedown. Dylan Thomas pops back to his feet, jaw clenched angrily as he advances again. This time Lux counters with a picture perfect hip toss, slamming Dylan powerfully to the mat. Xavier drags Dylan back to his feet, Irish whipping him into the ropes and catching him on the rebound with a scoop slam! The ring shakes wildly on impact and Lux hooks Dylan's leg! ONE... TWO... Thomas manages to kick out, sliding out from underneath Xavier and grabbing the bottom rope to pull himself across the canvas and out of the ring!*

Hood: "Perfection Personified" heads to the floor.

Rockwell: It's a smart move. He's got to recollect himself and make some changes to his strategy or else Xavier will start chaining things together and the momentum could really snowball...

Hood: We just finished Halloween. Please hold off on any mentions of snow.

*Dylan Thomas stands at the fan barricade, trying to clear his head as Xavier Lux stands up inside the ring and sizes him up. Xavier Lux bounces off the far ropes and charges across the mat before hurling himself over the top rope with a flipping pescado! Lux slams into Thomas like a cannonball, knocking him powerfully into the barricade before both men land on the floor in a heap! The fans explode for the high risk maneuver, cheering for Xavier Lux as he slowly pulls himself back to his feet and surveys the crowd. Dylan Thomas tries to push himself up to his hands and knees, but Lux drives a heavy knee into his ribs and flattens him once more. Thomas gasps for air as Xavier grabs a fistful of his hair and pulls him up, but Dylan manages to shove Xavier away from him and into the steel ring post!*

Hood: Oh! Jesus! Lux goes face first into the ring post! He looks dazed!

Rockwell: He's lucky he didn't break his nose there.

*Xavier Lux clutches at his face and drops to a knee as Dylan hooks his head and DDTs him hard to the floor! The fans gasp loudly as Dylan pops back to his feet and grins maliciously down at Xaviers body. The referee leans over the ropes and shouts down to the two competitors to bring the action back inside the ring, but Dylan waves him off and kneels down next to Lux and once more begins to hammer him with right hands.*

Hood: Dylan is REALLY working over Lux at every opportunity!

Rockwell: Well, Xavier Lux made it very clear this week that he sees "The A List" as a poor mans "Legacy"... maybe Dylan Thomas took exception to that?

Hood: Obviously. You'd think any comparison to Legacy would be taken favorably, though... especially from a guy like Xavier Lux who can't beat them!

*The referee has seen enough of the carnage on the outside and begins to count the competitors back into the ring. "ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!"*

*Dylan relents with the punches and begins dragging Lux across the floor towards the ring, trying to lift him up to the apron and roll him back into the ring. Xavier fires an elbow backward reflexively and drills Thomas in the mouth, creating some separation between the two. Lux leaps up in the air and dots Dylan between the eyes with a Pelé Kick, both men collapsing to the floor once more. "FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!"*

*Xavier rolls himself underneath the bottom rope and back into the ring, pulling himself to his feet in the corner and taking a deep breath as the referee continues to count, but before he reaches ten Dylan is able to stumble and dive back under the rope and onto the mat. The fans cheer, glad this match didn't end on a count out as Xavier and Dylan each fight back to their feet and stare at each other from across the ring.*

Hood: Neither man looks the freshest they've ever been.

Rockwell: This has been much more brawl than technical match! These two are putting some serious tolls on their bodies.

*Dylan steps towards Xavier looking for a belly to belly suplex, but Lux cracks him with a powerful European uppercut and sends "Perfection Personified" stumbling back to the corner. Again Xavier Lux charges across the ring, hoping to connect with a body splash, but this time Thomas throws a foot up in the air and Xavier leaps right into the big boot! Lux hits the canvas hard, and Thomas quickly dives on a leg and looks to lock in a "Hollywood" cloverleaf! Xavier Lux kicks furiously with his free foot, striking Thomas several times before the leader of the A-List has to let him go. Lux rolls to his feet in front of Dylan before falling backwards into the ropes to slingshot himself at Thomas... hurricanrana! Xavier Lux hits a hurricanrana and sends Dylan Thomas flipping head over heels to the mat!*

Hood: Look at the agility of Xavier Lux!

Rockwell: Dylan needs to tread carefully here, I think Xavier is starting to get loose here!

Hood: What a slut.

Rockwell: You KNOW that's not what I meant.

To his credit Dylan tries to get back up immediately after the hurricanrana but is wobbly on his feet, clutching the top rope tightly for balance. Xavier moves towards him and Dylan retreats a few steps into the corner and lifts his hands in front of his face to cover up!

Hood: Actually Lux may be the one that needs to tread carefully. Every time he's followed Dylan into the corner tonight he's gotten wholloped!

*As if he's listening to the commentary team, Xavier stutter steps towards the corner to get Dylan to react. As soon as Thomas flinches Lux drives a roundhouse kick into Dylan's side with a sickening thud! Dylan tries to keep a brave face, but as his body stiffens and tightens up it's obvious that the kick has him hurt! He shrinks into the corner as Xavier closes the distance and starts to brutalize him with punches and elbows! With nowhere to go Dylan drops to his knees and tries to double leg Xavier to the mat, but Lux knee strikes Dylan right in the jaw as he changes levels! Dylan crumples and Xavier quickly grabs him by the wrist and drags him to the center of the mat before dropping down and hooking the leg for the cover. ONE... TWO... T- *

Hood: Shoulder up!

Rockwell: Somehow Dylan Thomas kicks out! He's going to need to be wheeled out on a stretcher if he doesn't find a way to win tonight!

*Xavier Lux, realizing how exhausting it may be to try and take Dylan out fist but fist, starts to think about bigger risks and bigger rewards. His eyes lock on the ring post in the corner, and he drags himself up to his feet and stomps across the ring as the fans begin to cheer loudly. One step at a time, Lux makes his way up the ropes to the top of the post and carefully spins himself around to face the motionless Dylan Thomas. With victory in sight, Xavier hurls himself from the top rope with his patented frog splash elbow...*

Hood: OH!

Rockwell: Goddamn!

*At the last possible second before impact, Dylan gets his knees up and pressed tightly to his chest! Xaviers eyes widen in horror midair, but it's too late to stop himself. He lands over Thomas, Thomas' knees flattening Xaviers lungs so brutally that fans hear the "whoosh" of Luxs air being knocked out of him. Dylan quickly rolls the limp body of Xavier off of him.*

Hood: Xavier should have gone straight to the top rope after dragging Dylan from the corner! That pin attempt cost him valuable time and let Dylan recover!

Rockwell: I'm not sure I'd say Dylan is "recovered".

*It looks like it takes Thomas everything he's got to climb off his back and up to his feet. He stares at Xavier for a moment, as if debating whether to make a cover, but he suddenly grabs both of Lux's ankles and lifts his legs up... Senton Leg Drop! Dylan Thomas Neely bends and snaps Xavier in half, rolling to his hands and knees near Xaviers head and screaming down at him.*

Dylan Thomas: A poor mans Legacy?! That's what you think of The A-List?! Well how about now!!!

*Dylan stands, extending his arms and taunting them loudly, urging them to take this photo opportunity to snap a shot they can remember the night by. The Dallas fans boo loudly but Dylan seems indifferent and struts in a small semi circle around Xaviers body. Lux rolls to his hands and knees, crawling around the mat and desperately gasping for breath, and Dylan looks at him arrogantly, motioning for him to climb to his feet. Slowly Xavier Lux reaches the ring ropes and pulls himself up, turning to face Dylan when-*

*SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!*

Hood: Oh God! Thomas just slapped Lux right in the mouth!

Rockwell: What'd the five fingers say to the face, kids?!

*Dylan follows the slap with a heavy boot to the gut, doubling Xavier over. Thomas tucks Luxs head between his legs, looking for the Connecticutter... but Xavier shoves him away and straightens up quickly, knowing it was nearly lights out for him. Dylan grabs Xavier by the wrist and tries to tie him up, but Lux hits a sharp uppercut and dazes Thomas! Xavier quickly whips Dylan into the corner and for the third time tonight chases after him and leaps through the air, but not for a body splash...*

*He lands a textbook drop kick.*

Hood: The Toxin!

Rockwell: WHAT AN IMPACT! It looked like Lux just kicked the jawbone off of Dylan Thomas' skull!

*Dylan is smashed back into the turnbuckle, head whipping violently backward and then forward. Dylan stumbles from the corner, no idea where he's at as Xavier Lux quickly hops to the top rope and takes a final deep breath to steady himself. Lux leaps at the wobbly Thomas, and there are no mistakes this time.*

Hood: The Cure! Xavier hits his top rope DVD, and Thomas is down!

Rockwell: Xavier makes the cover! That has to be it!

*The referee makes it official. ONE... TWO... THREE!!!*

Minos: The winner of this match... XAAAAAVIER LUUUUUUX!

*Xavier Lux pops slowly to his feet, a bit battered and bruised but satisfied with the nights victory as the bell rings and the referee raises his hand in the air for the raucous crowd. With a final glance to the motionless Dylan Thomas, Xavier leaves the ring and makes his way up the ramp towards the backstage area.*

Rockwell: Maybe The A List ARE the generic knock off version of Legacy?

Hood: Hardly. I still want to see those groups faceeach other, but tonight it's Xaviers night.

*Lux disappears behind the curtain as Dylan Thomas begins to stir in the ring, and the camera shot fades out.*







*The camera goes to the backstage area where the N.W.O are in catering. There is a staff member trying to enjoy his dinner, when on either side of him sits Major Flavor and Sargent Snake. Across from the staffer First Mate Rodman sits down. The Staffer goes to stand up, but Marshall is behind him and places his hands on his shoulders and the staffer slowly sits back down and looks very afraid. Dark Lord walks into the frame and looks at the plate and shakes his head.*

Dark Lord: This meal, looks very un-nutritious. Only two of the major food groups represented, no vegetables, no fruits, lots of sugar.

Sargent Snake: Issss, that a protein ssssshhhhake?

Major Flavor: This meal looks like it needs to spend a week on vacation in Flavortown.

Terry Marshall: Well, let's help the brother out.

*Marshall reaches over the staffers shoulder and picks up the milkshake. Marshall grabs the straw from the cup and tosses it aside and then takes a drink from the cup and then instantly spits it out.*

Terry Marshall: UGH! This isn't a protein shake.

Staffer: Na... No, it's a chocolate milkshake.

Marshall & Dark Lord: DISGUSTING!

*Marshall then pours the Milkshake over the head of the staffer. The staffer looks embarrassed as the whole N.W.O laugh at him. The staffers face turns red and he looks as if he is about the cry as he jumps up from the table and runs away.*

Dark Lord: It is good to have a crew together, but now I just need to find some privates.

*Everyone goes silent and awkwardly look around at each other and then all look a Dark Lord and erupt in laughter*

Xavier Lux: Yeah, real fucking funny. Only joke I see around here is you bunch of clowns.

*The laughter stops as Xavier Lux and Marcus Ka'Derrion appear. The N.W.O stand from the table and come face to face with Sins Of The Father.*

Terry Marshall: I'd choose your next words real carefully, because they might be the last you speak before your jaw gets wired shut.

Dark Lord: The odds are not in your favor, five to two.

Xavier Lux: Yeah, five of you clows against us two might just make it a fair fight for you clowns.

Marcus Ka'Derrion: Come on man....

*As Marcus puts his hand on Xavier's shoulder both Marcus and Xavier are struck with steel chairs to the back by S&M. Marcus and Xavier stagger forward right into right hands from Dark Lord and Terry Marshall. Rodman, Flavor, and Snake jump in and make it a seven on two assault.*

*Marcus falls to his knees, but doesn't stop fighting as he grabs Terry Marshall around the leg and tries to take him down. Dennis Rodman puts a stop to that with a kick to the ribs, followed by Major Flavor smashing a pepper grinder into the back of Marcus.*

*Xavier is also fighting back as he grabs Dark Lord around the waist. Masher and Strangler each grab an arm of Xavier and pull him back from Dark Lord. As S&M hold Xavier up, Dark Lord pulls his red lightsaber out and smashes the glass of the high-quality replica over the head of Xavier. The shattering of the glass knocks Xavier to the ground and bust his head open. The N.W.O stomp away on both Xavier and Marcus and then Terry Marshall starts giving orders.*

Terry Marshall: Pull um up. Pick these sons of bastards up.

*S&M lift up Xavier while Snake, Rodman, and Flavor lift up Marcus. Marshall pulls two black Sharpies out of his pock. Marshall tosses one to Dark Lord and the two men go to work. Marshall steps back revealing a big penis on the forehead of Marcus that is quickly blurred out, and "N.W.O" on each of his cheeks. Xavier has a giant "N.W.O" across his forehead and his eye brows colored in the make a giant unibrow.*

*The men are released and both Xavier and Marcus sink to the ground. Dark Lord and Marshall high five and the scene cuts back to ringside.*

Rockwell: These two teams continue to attack each other!

Hood: And I'm all for it! I hope it goes until one of them kills the other...

Rockwell: You're actually wishing for murder??

Hood: ... I mean, not literally... figuratively, of course...

Rockwell: ... I don't believe you.

Hood: What, just because I worked for a company where wrestlers died doesn't mean I want to see that actually happen... again...

Rockwell: Let's just... keep going...


Singles Match
Justice Cross (6-8) vs. James Raven (11-0)

Minos: The next match is scheduled for one fall... making their way to the ring... standing 5'3" and weighing 126 lbs... from St. Louis, Missouri... here is "The First Lady of the GCWA" Justice Cross!!

*Piano notes could be heard over the pa system then Amy Lee's voice begins to sing. Justice begins to walk out onto the top of the ramp as the words "Wake me up" begin to play over the speaker now. As she makes her way down to the ring she argues with the fans then gets to the floor near the ring. Justice continues to the ring with a smirk on her face before climbing onto the stairs. When she would get half way onto the apron she turned her back to the ropes then did a back flip over them. With both feet on the ground she would go over to each side of the ring smirking as the fans had mixed reactions towards her.*

Rockwell: Justice is looking to earn some respect here in the GCWA, and she's had some strong matches as of late.

Hood: Yeah, too bad she's facing the GOAT...

Rockwell: Justice has some major victories under her belt, Hood, including being GCWA World Tag-Team Champs with Enforcer. A win here would probably make them #1 contenders again.

Hood: Again, too bad...

Minos: Her opponent...

*The lights in the building dim, the fans buzzing in their seats as they munch on overpriced concessions and await what's coming next. After a few long moments of near silence, recognizable guitar riffs begin to blare over the sound system and drag the fans up to their feet.*

*A light fog creeps out from behind the curtain, silver and blue spotlights swirling together at the top of the stage.*

"NOW HERE WE GO FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME!"

Minos: Standing 6'3" and weighing 225 lbs... from Toronto, Ontario, Canada... accompanied by Jackson Hart... one-half of the GCWA World Tag-Team Champions... here is "The People's G.O.A.T." James Raven!!

*The crowd boos in unison as "Bleed it Out" by Linkin Park plays and signals the arrival of The Peoples G.O.A.T., a small shower of silver and blue sparks spraying into the spotlights as James Raven and Jackson Hart step through the curtain, both wearing an ear to ear grin. The lights in the building return full blast as the spotlights and sparks disappear, Raven & Hart make their way slowly to the fans sitting around the stage, ignoring their hands and soaking in the negative reaction. Raven looks down to the ring and begins to make his way down the ramp, now bobbing his head to the music and still ignoring the crowd until he reaches the steel ring steps. He pauses for a moment before bounding up the steps in two paces, then leaping over the top rope from the apron into the ring.*

*James makes his way to each of the four ring posts, standing on the middle rope to pose for the fans before dropping down to his corner and stretching out for his bout.*

Rockwell: Raven got shafted out of a lot of money this week, thanks to his own stablemate...

Hood: It was a pretty good prank from Warstein, wasn't it?

Rockwell: Would you call it a prank if it cost you $300,000?

Hood: I'd laugh for sure, since there's no way they're getting $300K from me. Can't get blood from a stone!

Rockwell: But a stone can cause the blood to flow.

Hood: ... That's just creepy, Adrian...

*The Bell Rings.*

Rockwell: This is our first time seeing Raven in action since what happened at Fright or Flight...

Hood: A good warm-up for Raven as he prepares for Lissie Hope.

Rockwell: He'd better not treat this as a warm-up if he wants to stay undefeated...

*Justice straightens up, ready to make herself known. Raven just slowly comes out to meet her, looking down on her, both literally and physically. He tells Justice that he knows how jealous she is. After all, she's a sub .500 wrestler while he's the next World Champion. He tells her she might as well just walk away, but Justice isn't having it, as she's ready to go. Raven shrugs, then takes a swing right at Justice's head... but Justice isn't there anymore, ducking to the side. She then comes in and grabs Raven by the neck, going for Lights Out (RKO)!!! But Raven pulls away, taking a couple of steps away, a little surprised. Justice smirks at him, telling him to keep talking, as she prepares to come in again.*

Rockwell: That was a close one for Raven...

Hood: Nah, he was ready for it. Raven always has the match planned out.

Rockwell: So he planned to avoid Lights Out by a thin margin?

Hood: ... yep, yep, he did.

*Raven locks up with Justice again, his eyes narrowed. He twists her around, putting her in an armlock from behind as he talks to her once again. But Justice immediately twists and reverses the hold, getting behind Raven instead! Once again, Raven looks thrown off as Justice works his arm, trying to keep him in place. But Raven ducks himself underneath and comes up face-to-face with Justice... and clocks her with an uppercut, sending Justice staggering backwards to the ropes! Raven comes in at her, no longer willing to give her an inch, as he pops away at Justice's side with lefts and rights, smashing away at her ribs. Justice tries to protect as much as possible, but being on the ropes, she can't retreat. After a few more shots, Raven then pulls Justice forward and drops her with a swinging neckbreaker, before making the loose cover... 1... 2.. and Justice kicks out.*

Rockwell: This isn't quite David vs. Goliath, but Raven's definitely got the reach advantage.

Hood: He's also got the GOAT advantage, which means he can't lose.

Rockwell: There's no such thing as a GOAT advantage...

Hood: Spoken like a true non-GOAT.

*As Justice gets up, Raven is right there, giving her an arm drag takedown. It almost looks like Raven is now playing with her, as he waits for her to rise and gives her another one. He then goes for a Kimura Lock, but Justice gets away with a roll, managing to slide out of the ring. She takes a few moments, getting her breath back, as Raven waits in the ring, looking bored. He gestures to Justice to get back in, even stepping on the ropes to open them for her. Justice, looking insulted, reaches out and grabs Raven's grounded foot, yanking on it to cause Raven to fall backwards! As Raven gets back up, Justice has already slid back in, grabbing Raven quickly and getting a sitout facebuster! She makes the cover... 1..... 2.. and Raven kicks free, pushing Justice off of him.*

Rockwell: That was a pretty slow count, ref...

Hood: Oh, don't start throwing THAT around!

Rockwell: I'm just saying what I'm seeing...

*Justice is working now to ground Raven, having applied an ankle lock to work the leg. Raven fights the hold, showing no signs of tapping out, and it doesn't seem like the ref is expecting it, either. Raven works to get up, then does a roll forward, causing Justice to get sent into the corner. Raven gets up, shaking out his ankle before moving over to Justice, grabbing at her. But Justice again avoids his grasp, then catches Raven from behind, rolling him up! The ref moves into position, dropping to his knees... 1..... and Raven kicks out. Justice gets up, glaring at the ref, then turns to Raven... and Raven nails her with the F.Y.S (Superkick)!!! Justice folds backwards, possibly out of it, as Raven makes his way over and drops for the cover... 1... 2... and Justice barely kicks out in time. Raven sits up, maybe a tiny bit impressed that she kicked out from that one, but still looking confident.*

Hood: Raven can come at you in so many ways...

Rockwell: Including having Jackson Hart get involved...

Hood: Oh, c'mon! Jackson's just enjoying the match, he hasn't done anything!

Rockwell: True... I just don't like him being down here...

Hood: They're tag champs! Hell, I'm surprised the rest of Legacy isn't here...

*Raven has brought Justice up now, holding her by the head before taking her over with a vertical suplex. He puts a hand on her again, wanting the count... 1... 2... but Justice keeps kicking out. Raven shakes his head, wondering why she's not taking the hint. He pulls her back up, lifting her easily into the air and landing a dragon suplex! Justice is hurting badly now, as Raven tells her to stay down and covers her again... 1... 2... but Justice won't listen, shoving her arm up! Raven sighs, getting to his feet. He moves to the side, saying something to Jackson for a moment before bracing himself to the side. As Justice fights her way to her feet, Raven lines up his shot, then runs forward for the Divebomb (Spear)!! But Justice LEAPFROGS over it, as Raven crashes through the ropes instead, ending up on the apron! Raven pulls himself up, having saved himself from a bad fall, and turns back to come in, but Justice meets him there, landing a rope-hung DDT!*

Hood: Damn, what's wrong with our mats?

Rockwell: What?

Hood: Obviously there's a deformity the way Raven tripped there...

Rockwell: Give Justice her due! She's fighting great out there!

Hood: Oh, yeah, she's doing okay, considering she's still standing...

*The referee circles out of the way as Justice braces her arms under her, looking like she's ready to finish this one. She stalks her prey, moving slowly on her hands and knees, as Raven struggles to recover from that DDT. As Raven works his way up, Justice comes in, again latching on for the Lights Out!! But Raven manages to push her off, then reverses it, going for his own Flight of the Raven (RKO)!! But Justice breaks away, shoving Raven towards the ropes... only for Raven to race back and this time land The Divebomb!!! Justice is bent in half by the hit, rolling and holding her ribs in agony. She gets up, gasping, but Raven's waiting for her... this time landing The Flight of the Raven!!! Justice is out, as Raven takes a moment to look more relaxed before he makes the pin... 1... 2... 3!!!!!*

Minos: Here is your winner... "The People's G.O.A.T." James Raven!!

Rockwell: Justice didn't back down, but Raven pulled away at the end.

Hood: He's just got so many tricks in his tool belt!

Rockwell: Raven is an amazing wrestler, no doubt, which is why I don't know why he and the rest of Legacy need referee tricks to win.

Hood: What ref tricks? You're seeing conspiracies everywhere, Adrian. Geez...

*Raven gives the referee a nod before leaving the ring, going out to where Jackson Hart is waiting. Hart seems to give Raven a hard time for not winning quickly, with Raven telling him to be quiet goodnaturedly as they leave the area.*






Minos: The next match is scheduled for one fall... coming to the ring... standing 6'3" and weighing 285 lbs... from the Black Eye Galaxy... here is Dark Lord!!

*"Keep Me" by The Black Keys begins to play over the PA. Dark Lord comes out of the back with Terry Marshall at his side and First Mate Rodman behind them. The three start walking down the aisle, a remarkably slower pace from Dark Lord's normal entrance.*

Rockwell: Sports Entertainment Xpress became the Nefarious Wrestling Outsiders, and they've already taken out Major Helmet, fired their crew, and attacked Sins of the Fathers...

Hood: Busy night for them.

Rockwell: But now Dark Lord, formerly known as Space Lord, has to take on the challenge of the North American Champion...

Minos: His opponent... standing 6'4" and weighing 234 lbs... from Chicago, Illinois... he is the GCWA North American Champion... Shawn Warstein!!

*"Centuries Remix" by Fallout Boy feat. Juicy J begins to hit the speakers, bringing out Warstein from the back. He's on his own, as he lifts the North American Title over his head.*

Rockwell: Warstein revealed how the plans of Legacy taking over go back a pretty long way...

Hood: It takes a lot of planning to pull off a corporate takeover.

Rockwell: But now Warstein's got to go one-on-one with a very tough...

Hood: Did you say one on one?

*As Warstein stands on the ramp, smirking at the wrestlers waiting for him in the ring, Sargent Snake and Major Flavor both come out of the back, attacking Warstein from behind!! Warstein shakes off a weak hit from Flavor and turns, fighting back, even as Marshall & Dark Lord laugh in the ring with First Mate Rodman.*

Hood: It's an ambush!

Rockwell: Warstein's been attacked by the newest members of NWO!

Hood: Copyright pending...

Rockwell: And Marshall & Dark Lord are... wait a second...

*As Warstein tries to fight off the double-team, the camera turns to ringside, where Rodman is suddenly sliding out of the ring, but not by his own power. He turns and swings, missing, as he's taken down by the Flight of the Raven!! Marshall turns, suddenly realizing something's up, but he gets nailed by a double dropkick from Jackson Hart & Noah Jackson!!! He drops backwards, as Dark Lord turns and attacks, grabbing Hart by the throat and bodily launching him into the corner!*

Hood: Holy crap, it's a double ambush!!

Rockwell: Both stables planned to ambush the other!!

Hood: This is looking chaotic, get out of there, Minos!

*The large announcer is already on his way out, perfectly content to strike back if threatened, but everyone else is busy. Noah has jumped on Dark Lord's back, pulling him back away from the attack on Hart. James Raven is in there now, attacking a recovering Marshall. Meanwhile, at the ramp, Warstein takes another hit from Sargent Snake but continues to shrug it off. Major Flavor prepares another dose of salt, setting himself up behind Warstein... and suddenly Flavor's arms are grabbed from behind!! Two GCWA security guards are there, holding Flavor back, while more are pouring out to go after Snake. Flavor tries to pull free, but falls over as a nightstick slams into his stomach!!*

Rockwell: Is Security trying to get control of this one?

Hood: Or is this a TRIPLE ambush??

Rockwell: Wow, we are really hitting our ambush quota tonight...

*More security grabs onto Snake, allowing Warstein to get in some free shots. He uses the North American Title, clocking Snake upside the head. In the ring, the brawl has continued, with Marshall & Dark Lord coming together to fight against the three members of Legacy. Dark Lord seems to be making a comeback, though, letting his fury grow as he smashes Noah away from him, launching him into the corner with Hart. Dark Lord backs up, preparing for the Big Bang in the corner!! But more GCWA Security is there, tackling Dark Lord before he can move!! They hold Dark Lord down, even as others are hitting Marshall, taking him off his feet!!*

Rockwell: GCWA Security is taking this too far!

Hood: No, they're doing what they're supposed to do, Adrian! They're protecting the Legacy Era!

Rockwell: This is insane!

Hood: No! This is the GCWA!

*As Marshall fights to get up, Noah nails him from behind with the King Hit!! He falls forward, even as Dark Lord roars and explodes upwards, sending security guards in all directions. He turns and delivers a clothesline to Noah, then turns to Hart, preparing for the Big Bang again. But now Warstein and Raven are both there, smashing into Dark Lord from behind to take him to the mat! Warstein then delivers the final shot, landing the King's Crown!! Dark Lord's down, as Warstein puts on a foot on him, smirking, as Raven stands up and walks off without counting, probably remembering Warstein costing him some money this week.*

Hood: There you go, Warstein wins!

Rockwell: There wasn't even a count! This match didn't even get started!

Hood: I stand by my ruling.

Rockwell: This was an absolute train wreck!

*The members of Legacy come together, smiling as they look at the chaos around them. Security is still working over members of the NWO, keeping them from getting up.*



*We cut to the back, where Deana Barrows is watching the whole thing. She has a huge smile on her face, loving the example her guys have shown to the world. Nodding, she gets up from her desk and turns... almost running right into the GCWA World Heavyweight Champion, Lissie Hope! Deana, startled, takes a step back, realizing that all of the security is currently at ringside.*

Deana Barrows: Uh, Lissie! Good to see you! Ummm, are you here to talk about...

*Without a single word, Hope kicks Deana in the stomach, doubling her over. She then grabs hold of Deana and drops, landing the Crown of Thorns!!! Deana's out cold, as Lissie gets back to her feet.*

Lissie Hope: Bitch.

*Lissie turns and walks away without a second glance, leaving Deana unconscious in her office. We fade out.*


OOC: Hey all. So I could give you plenty of reasons for what happened this week, but there's no reason to go into everything that happened. If someone wants to know privately, message me and I'll go into details, but suffice to say in the last month it's been shot after shot and this week decided to start firing harder. Anyhow, the show's up, and Zybala's got himself a Sunday Inferno, so everyone's happy, right? *lol* I'll be looking to pull things together better this next week, our final card before a scheduled Darkness Falls.
