TCW Tag Team Championships No.1 Contender's Match: The New Wave vs. The Tag Team Specialists

New Wave get the win but they won't be satisified, as it'll be via DQ and the Tag Team Specialists will walk out of the ring looking like the winners. I just see this feud being spun out a little longer.

TCW All-Action Championship: "The Evil Prince" Sammy Bach © vs. Acid

As talented as Acid is, I just don't see Bach losing the belt on free-TV in a match that has had very little build, then again you could surprise us and just have Bach/Powell just be a personal thing.

"The Wonder" Eric Tyler vs. ???

Hmm a former rival ? Seeing as TCW seems to be on a whole DaVE reunion kick right now, how about the return to TV screens for non other than Vin Tanner ! Honestly this could go either way.

Laying Down The Law Challenge: "The Total Officer" Rick Law vs. ???

I think it's time Giant Tana answered the challenge...you know you want to.

"The Chosen One" Wolf Hawkins vs. "The Mexican Machine Gun" Antonio Marquez

Marquez seems to be 'jobbing' his way into the fans hearts, putting on good matches but coming out on the losing end. Hopefully with the addition of the B-show, will also see him pick up some wins.

"Southern Justice" Ricky Dale Johnson vs. The TCW World Heavyweight Champion, "Rough Justice" Tommy Cornell (Non-Title)

It's non title and by the looks of things Cornell has just finished his program with Tyson Baine, Tornado's not back from injury yet and no one else is really ready....so TCW will go back to their default setting for his month with RDJ once again challenging for the World Title.

Without giving much away on this, I should really point out that Eric Tyler wrestled for quite a while before DAVE came around..could be anybody, really..

Laying Down The Law Challenge: "The Total Officer" Rick Law vs. ???

I think it's time Giant Tana answered the challenge...you know you want to.

Hmm, now that you mention it..

The whole Giant Tana in-joke did start when I saw BP have Giant Tana as the mystery opponent of Christian Faith, thereby giving me the green light to always pick Tana whenever there's a mystery opponent, so having him come out as the ??? opponent of another Main Eventer would be a nice little homage to that..

I miss DAVE, I really do. Best promotion ever.

Actually I think that the whole Tana thing started from the alts thread where Tana got a huge amount of weird and crazy alts made for him, giving diary writers an excuse to actually use him in the diaries

Zeel1 · October 2, 2009

I miss DAVE, I really do. Best promotion ever.

Indeed, looking back, it does seem like a hell of a company. I bet it really shook everyone up when it was first known it was gone, it had all the ingredients of the future #1 Company, but it just wasn't in the cards..

I think I know where my own in-joke came from, thank you!

Nah, but I did see those pics shortly after that..stuff of legend, quite frankly. I wonder if any diaries have used them yet..

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have not had access to my computer for the past week or so, and I just now got it back. The next Total Wrestling, however, is only two matches away from being finished, so expect it by Saturday or so. Thank you all for your patience - I know my shows take pretty long in the first place, so coupled in with issues such as this only makes it that much worse..

And I'd also like to thank everyone that voted for me to become 1 half of the CornellVerse Diary Writers of the Month for October! I really, really didn't expect that, especially during my first month eligibility! Pretty nice thing to come back to, eh?

TCW Total Wrestling

Brought to you LIVE, from the Mayor Street Arena, and on GNN Total Sports!

Angry Chair by Alice In Chains, the opening theme of TCW Total Wrestling, hits, as highlights of the best moments of Total Wrestling's history race by the screen. It eventually all cracks and breaks, to show the crowd at the Mayor Street Arena! They're going wild with anticipation, as our announcers Jason Azaria and Phil Vibert hype up the show!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JasonAzaria.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/PhilVibert.jpg

Jason Azaria: Hello, Total Wrestling fans! We're coming straight at you tonight, LIVE from the Mayor Street Arena! Total Wrestling has hit the big time - 15,000 screaming fans in attendance tonight, and they are hugely excited - and for damned good reason!

Phil Vibert: Right you are, Jason - because tonight, in our Main Event, on free TV for the first time since January of 2006, we've got the TCW World Heavyweight Champion Tommy Cornell, going one-on-one with his blood rival, Ricky Dale Johnson! Where else but TCW, would you see such a huge match on live TV?!

Azaria: I couldn't tell you, Phil! I don't know if there's another company that could bring you a match that big, period! But it's not the only high profile match on the show, not by a long shot - we've also got a title match tonight, a Malice In Wonderland rematch, between the All-Action Champion Sammy Bach, and the always highly dangerous Acid!

Vibert: That will be an exciting match, for sure, Jason - and we've also got a match between two of the top tag teams of our currently very hot division, as the ultra popular team of The New Wave, takes on the veteran tandem known as The Tag Team Specialists, who are just two days removed from their first two-on-two title shot in years, in which they came very close to defeating the red hot team of Danger and Violence! And the Total Board has come to the conclusion, that the winner of this match, shall become the No.1 Contender's to the Tag Team Championships!

Azaria: And that's not all - we've also got a rematch between two incredibly gifted, bright young prospects - Antonio Marquez, and the now former International Champion, Wolf Hawkins! From what I've heard, despite nearly beating him two weeks ago, "The Mexican Machine Gun" has yet to earn Wolf Hawkins' respect! But you have to think a victory over Hawkins would rectify that for Marquez! And just two days after his title loss, in that thrilling contest against Brent Hill, Hawkins momentum has been brought to a screetching halt - now's as good a time as any, for Marquez to strike, and earn his first TCW victory!

Vibert: We've got all that and so much more, tonight on TCW Total Wrestling! So let's get started alread- ..aw, damn it.

In-Ring Segment

Kid Rock's "F*ck Off" blares throughout the arena, and as soon as it's villianous sounding intro starts, the crowd viciously send jeers raining down to the stage. After making them wait throughout the entirity of the rather long intro, The Syndicate, in their entirity, make their way out, lead by Tommy Cornell, who is now the only one of the group that remains champion. And despite the fact that they are all in suits, they don't exactly look like winners at the exact moment - none are happy, especially the TCW World Heavyweight Champion, although, he's probably happy the the black eye he received last week is finally gone..they make their way to the ring quite slowly, before all entering it at differant sides. They stand spread out across the ring, with Tommy Cornell in the middle. He waits for the crowd's booing to die down, but it takes quite a bit of time..at one point, he gets impatient, and pulls a mic out from his pocket, speaking over the crowd.

Tommy Cornell: You know, a lot of people - a lot of people are talking, about how The Syndicate has had a big downfall in the past couple weeks..

He pauses to let the jeering continue, although some cheer the prospect of The Syndicate looking vulnerable..

Cornell: ..after all, Brent Hill unleashed a very unprovoked attack on Wolf Hawkins, just a couple weeks ago..then I was pinned last week in the main event..then at The War To Settle The Score, we went 1-for-3, with Sam Keith losing out to RDJ, and Wolf Hawkins losing his International Title to Hill..

The crowd cheers throughout this sentance, clearly angering Cornell, but he seems to be trying his best to ignore them..

Cornell: As a matter of fact, some are going as far as saying that The Syndicate has had less momentum as of late then they have had since forming. But you know wh-..you know what, I take that..I take that as a compliment. I do. Because at our weakest..we still have this.

Cornell gestures to the TCW World Heavyweight Championship, a semblance of an arrogant smile coming across his face, and the jeering continues.

Cornell: Even at the weakest we've been in months and months..still, The Syndicate retains the TCW World Heavyweight Championship - the single most valuable title in professional wrestling..today. So, you see, after coming to this realization..I really could'nt have been prouder of my stable. Because even at our lowest point, we carry the gold that every single young punk that comes into this business dreams of carrying. Even at our weakest, we are still strong. Even at our worst..we're the best. That's why there is not a shadow of a doubt in my mind, that we are, indeed, the single greatest stable in professional wrestling history.

Cornell pulls the mic away from his mouth, and soaks in the jeers for a bit, a full smile now emerging on his face. He looks ever arrogant, and a quick shot shows the rest of The Syndicate has become much more positive as well. After soaking it in for a bit, Cornell puts the mic back to his mouth.

Cornell: So now that I've gotten that addressed..another thing I'd like to address, is one..Ricky Dale Johnson.

Cornell isn't even able to finish saying his rival's name before the crowd erupt in cheers at the sound of it.

Cornell: ..well, you know what, I've talked a lot of crap about "RDJ"..I mean, no one can doubt the fact that I've kicked his ass from pillar to post dozens of times within the last four years, but the fact is, a couple months ago Ricky Dale Johnson put forth the statement, that he is the only man on this roster, who has beaten me for the TCW World Heavyweight Championship, and indeed, he is right. The other two men, the other two elites who are able to boast the tremendously impressive acheivement, of defeating Tommy Cornell, the greatest wrestler in this business today, for the TCW World Heavyweight Championship, the greatest title in this business today, they are both no longer in this company. And the reasons for that are quite obvious - they both say that they beat me when I was still a kid, and that they could never take me down in my prime. But Ric-

He has to pause again for the jeering this garners. He's really starting to look impatient here.

Cornell: ..But Ricky Dale Johnson did. He beat me for this belt, just two years ago. He's the only man remaining that has taken me down for this title, and he's the only man in the history of wrestling that has beaten me for it, in my prime, and for that, Ricky Dale Johnson deserves many accolades. But he's beaten me..twice. And I have beaten him..around 50 times. What everyone needs to realize, is that RDJ has not pinned me since that night, two years ago. For almost the entirity of 2006, the Total Board decided to ignore my pleas of getting a title rematch - each month, they screwed me over, giving shots to guys like Rahn or Baine instead. Finally, I got the chance to reclaim my title in December of that year..and I haven't lost a title match since. Ricky Dale has not beaten me in two years..whereas just a few months ago, at Psycho Circus, I locked him into the Guilt Trip - and put him to sleep. So you see, while Ricky Dale Johnson is good, undeniably good..the fact is, he's not better then me. He's beaten me twice, and for that he deserves all the credit in the world - but he's simply not as good as me. And that is why, tonight, I shall be defeating him. I'm a better wrestler now then I ever was, and I shall only get better. There was a time he could best me, but that time has passed. And that time..that time will never be seen, again.

Cornell pulls the mic away from his face, and scans the crowd with an arrogant grin, who loudly voice their disapproval..but the smile turns to a scowl, and the jeers turn to cheers, when Puddle Of Mudd's "Livin' On Borrowed Time" hits! A tremendous ovation showers the stage, as Ricky Dale Johnson comes out onto it, with a mic in hand!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RickyDaleJohnson.jpg

He crosses his arms, peering at Cornell with a look of disdain, before putting the mic to his lips.

Ricky Dale Johnson: So, I don't have a shot then, is that it? I don't have a chance to beat you? Is that what you're trying to say? That's real nice, Tommy. And you talked about putting me to sleep, as if the Guilt Trip is a sleeper hold. Don't go around acting like you making me pass out makes you a badass - the only reason you put me to sleep, was because you couldn't make me tap.

The crowd pops at this sentiment, clearly agreeing. The expression on Tommy Cornell's face, however, is not quite so positive.

RDJ: You know, I want..I want to respect you. I do. I want so badly to be able to respect you - but you make it so damned hard. You just-

Another pause for the pop.

RDJ: ..It's just that it seems like everytime you go out there, and put on a match of the year candidate..every time you go out there and retain your title fair and sqaure..every time you battle against the odds, and overcome them..you proceed to follow it up, by coming out here and run your mouth, talk yourself up, and essentially kiss your own ass, for 20 minutes!

Another pop, and Cornell looks quite peeved at this point.

RDJ: I find it a bit ironic, quite honestly. You demand so much respect, but sometimes it seems like you go out of your way to make people despise you - to the point where they pretty much think could'nt think any less of you. You really seem to be defeating your own purpose, Tommy..

Cornell: Is that right? Is that what you think? Well, fine then. No more talk. It'll just be me and you, one-on-one. And once I take you down, and leave you broken and bleeding..we'll see then, just how much disrespect I get.

RDJ: Hmph..well if that's the way you want to take this, fine. But before you leave me "broken and bleeding", just remember two things. 1..I defeated your co-leader, Sam Keith, two nights ago. And 2..the last time we wrestled each other on Free TV..I defeated you, and then went on to take your title away at the next Pay-Per-View..you just keep that in mind.

With that, RDJ drops the mic, and the fans pop, as Puddle Of Mudd's "Livin' On Borrowed Time" hits again. The two blood rivals stare at each other, and the electricity between them can almost be seen, as the announcers lead us into the first commercial break..

The Syndicate come out to open the show. Cornell talks down everyone that has stated that the Syndicate has been vulnerable, by stating that even at their weakest, they have the TCW World Heavyweight Championship - even at their weakest, they're still the greatest stable in wrestling history. He goes on to taunt his opponent for tonight, Ricky Dale Johnson, only to get interupted by Johnson himself. RDJ reminds Cornell that the last time they met on Free TV, RDJ defeated him, then went on to win the TCW World Heavyweight Title from him..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bplus.jpg

Azaria: Some tough talk from Cornell, but you know what, Phil, Ricky Dale has a point - the last time they faced off on Total Wrestling TV, Ricky Dale defeated him, in what may go down as one of the most historic matches in TCW history!

Vibert: That was indeed the match that absolutely solidified Ricky Dale as a main eventer - the match that let everyone know that he could, indeed, defeat Tommy Cornell.

Azaria: And while it is true that RDJ has not gotten a victory over Tommy since his title win, to say that Cornell has "beaten his ass pillar to post" is a bit of a stretch..

Vibert: Cornell tends to exagerate the truth every now and again, Jason. RDJ can definately get it done, but the question is, can he get it done tonight?

Azaria: We'll find out in a little less then two hours, but until then, we've got a great show lined up for you tonight, wrestling fans, and first off, is a Tag Team Titles No.1 Contender's match, between The New Wave and The Tag Team Specialists! That match is next, right after this commercial break!

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JoelBryant.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RobertOxford.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/Guide.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/Scout.jpg
The Tag Team Specialists vs.

Alice In Chains' "Them Bones" hits, to a not-so-warm welcome from the Total Faithful, as The Tag Team Specialists make their way out from the Crippler Position. As is typical, they don't look too happy - this week, it's likely because of the failed tag team title shot they used up, just two nights ago. But as Jason Azaria points out, they need to put that match past them as quickly as possible, because they have the chance to get another title shot tonight. They talk a little trash to some fans at ringside, before entering the ring. "Hammerhead" by The Offspring hits, and the jeers become cheers, as out come The New Wave, to a fine ovation - still the second most popular tag team in the company. Their walk down the ring is as uneventful as The Tag Team Specialists, although they do run the last few steps, into the ring. They run up to the hard camera side of the ring, jumping up onto the second rope. They put raise a fist each, shouting "HOO-HAH", along with the crowd. They then jump onto the mat, and turn to stare down The Tag Team Specialists. Vibert reminds us of all the problems that these two teams had throughout February. They talk amongst themselves as to who will start for which team, and it turns out to be Scout and Joel Bryant. The two go nose-to-nose, as the fans definately seem to be anticipating this match..

The bell rings, and Joel Bryant swiftly shoots in for a takedown, but Scout is able to hold him in place - and Bryant's positioning ends up backfiring, as Scout is able to catch him from here, with a Gutwrench Suplex! From here, Scout took control, keeping him grounded with a few strikes, before driving him into the mat with a Gordbuster, for 2! Scout keeps onto the attack for a bit, before tagging in Guide, who comes into the ring with a bang, hitting a wicked Springboard Rolling Wheel Kick upon entry, for a close 2 count! But the veteran Bryant is able to take control, when he counters an attempting Flying Clothesline off the top, with an inverted Atomic Drop! Bryant then grabbed Guide by the hair, and threw him into the Tag Team Specialists' corner, to tag in Oxford! Oxford and Bryant double team Guide in the corner, kicking him down to the mat! Referee Ray Johnson abmonishes them, and when that doesn't get Bryant to the apron, he starts a 5 count - but before he can get to 5, Guide is sent facefirst into the mat with a vicious Double DDT!

Bryant gets back to the apron, as Oxford covers - but he makes a mistake when he props his feet up on the bottom rope, as Referee Ray Johnson sees this, and stops the count. When Oxford covers again, Guide is just able to kick out at 2. All the same, Oxford is able to keep the advantage. Guide tries to make a comeback, countering a Back Body Drop attempt with a kick to the face, but when he tries to follow up with an Irish Whip, Oxford is able to hold onto him, and rake his eyes, before nailing him with a Belly To Belly Suplex, for a close 2. Oxford keeps the usually high flying Guide grounded, keeping him at bay with some stomps, and an armbar, before eventually being taken down with a Hip Toss. Guide and Oxford stand at the same time, and Oxford is whipped to the ropes with an Irish Whip, before being slammed down with a Spinning Powerslam, for a 2 count! Guide and Oxford, from here, both crawl to their corners, and Scout and Joel Bryant are once again tagged in!

Scout and Bryant go back and forth with punches, hitting shot after shot after shot, but Scout is able to duck a punch, and take control, punching and Knife Edge Chopping him, backing him into the ropes, before going for an Irish Whip. Bryant reverses, whipping him to the ropes instead. Scout rebounds, and Bryant tries for a Spinebuster, but Scout is able to slip behind Bryant - and then catch him with a Backbreaker for 2! The New Wave side is able to keep control for a while here, as Scout just about puts Joel Bryant through the wringer, hitting quite a few power moves, at one point hitting him with a Black Hole Slam, for a very narrow 2 count. Moments later, he sends Bryant and himself crashing into the canvas with a Superplex! Scout hooks the leg, and everyone's convinced that the Tag Team Specialists are finished, but at the last second, Robert Oxford comes in to break up the count! He sends a few stomps to Scout, but Guide comes in as well, nailing Oxford with a Springboard Crossbody! Guide throws Oxford out of the ring, then meets him with a Suicide Dive when he gets to his knees! Meanwhile, in the ring, Scout pulls Bryant up, and goes for a Gutwrench Powerbomb, but Bryant is able to hold onto to the top rope to stop it, before pulling himself to the apron - and hot shotting Scout, sending him neck-first into the top rope!

From here, Bryant takes control, and is able to keep Scout grounded for the most part. Scout looks to be in trouble when he's locked into an American Figure Four Leglock, but he was able to grab the ropes - only for Bryant to lay the boots to him, pull him to the middle of the ring, and re-apply the Figure Four! After nearly a full minute more in the hold, Scout is able to crawl over towards his partner! Guide is stretching his arm out, bent over the ropes, trying desperately to make the tag - but in comes Oxford, to knock Guide off of the apron! Oxford checks the angered Ray Johnson's count, currently at 2 - and decides to lay in an elbow drop to the stomach of Scout! Bryant breaks the hold, and two again pull Scout to the middle of the ring - but this time, when Oxford goes to re-apply the Figure Four, he kicks Bryant away, and he ends up hitting Oxford, just as he was getting back to the apron - knocking him to ringside as well! Bryant shoots a look of concern to his fallen partner, before turning back to Scout - only to be taken down to the mat, and to be locked into the Special Forces Mutilation Armbar! Bryant screams in pain - and after a few seconds, he taps out!

The New Wave win, via submission, after Scout locked Joel Bryant into the Special Forces, at 10:03

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cplus.jpg

Azaria: Bryant taps! And now The New Wave have earned a shot at Danger and Violence!

Vibert: DAVE being representated huge there, Jason - The New Wave vs. Danger and Violence, for Tag Team Gold! I love it!

Azaria: Yeah, and The New Wave have got to be pleased with themselves after that win - not only do they now have a tag title shot to look forward too, but they also got a little revenge over The Tag Team Specialists!

Vibert: Indeed they did - they've been giving them hell for a month straight now - it's gotta feel good to get them out of their hair, for now!

Azaria: Wrestling Fans, up next, we have what is sure to be a thriller - an All-Action Title match! Sammy Bach takes on Acid, after the commercial break!

Vibert: But for now, let's take you to the always lovely Jasmine Saunders! Jasmine?

Backstage Segment

Cut to the back, to see the always cheery Jasmine Saunders, for the first time tonight.

Jasmine Saunders: Thank you Phil, and ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I would like to introduce to you, the legendar-

Suddenly, a hand comes from off screen, grabbing the top of the mic, thusly cutting her off..

..and the screen pans out to reveal that the hand belongs to none other than Sam Keith.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SamKeith-2.jpg

Jeering is heard in the background, as Keith slowly takes the mic away from the pretty little interviewer..then gestures for her to leave.

Sam Keith: Go.

Saunders: Wha-, what do you-

Keith: Go.

Saunders looks perplexed by this, but eventually turns and walks away. Once she's off-screen, Keith turns to the camera..

Keith: ..So, last night..I was defeated by Ricky Dale Johnson..in the single toughest match..of his career. I won't say it was a fluke. I won't say he got lucky. He won. He did it fair and sqaure..he was the better man on that given night..I won't make any excuses about that match. Although, it's not for lack of ammunition. I mean, the guy does have a good ten years of youth on me, if that match took place a decade ago, it would'nt have been a contest. He caught me out of my prime, and still nearly got his ass handed to him. I mean, I'm 47 years old, and it took every single bit of strength he had, in his prime, just to get an advantage over me. I mean, Jesus Christ, I am sort of freak of nature..but I won't be making that excuse. Because he did defeat me. Just barely, but he did it.

And you know, for years, Ricky Dale Johnson has been talking about that Total Cell match he had with Tyson Baine, in 2006, back when he was the champion..the match many call the bloodiest in TCW's history. Blood drenching the canvas..blood falling from the top of the Cell..blood scattered across the cage. He's been talking about how it was the most brutal 20 minutes of his entire life..but as of the last Pay-Per-View, the most brutal match of his career has been replaced. The most brutal match of his career..occured two nights ago, and I know that for a fact. I know, for an absolute fact, that RDJ has never been so scared in his life. I saw the fear in his eyes two nights ago. It came up the first time I countered the Southern Justice, and ended up behind you. It increased the second time I blocked it, and even moreso when I kicked out of that Running Powerbomb. And it was after the third Southern Justice attempt, when I caught you, and nearly beat you, with that Northern Lights Suplex..I saw the fear in your eyes after you barely kicked out - doubt was in your mind.

You knew, you knew to yourself, that if you could not hit the Southern Justice, then you could not take me down - and indeed, that is the only move you have that can beat me, whereas I have around 500 or so that can take you out, but that's a story for another day. The fear in your eyes..that's a fear, that Tyson Baine could never have strickin in you. He inflicted a lot of pain unto you, in that Cell..but you never looked as scared in there, as you did in the ring with me. I gave you a fear, that Baine, that wanna-be demon, could've never summoned. And the reason for that, is because unlike Tyson Baine..I'm real. I'm very real. And sometimes..and this is to all of you fans, all you boys in the back..sometimes..it's reality..that is the scariest thing of them all.

An arrogant grin comes across Keith's face..but his expression turns to one of surprise, when he feels a gloved hand plop down onto his shoulder. And the screen pans to show just who it is behind him...

..and it turns out to be the demonic Tyson Baine himself! A roar of cheers are heard in the background, as Keith turns to face Baine, a look of shock on his face - although he does his best to turn it into a look of anger.

Keith: You got something to say?

Tyson Baine: ...Sam Keith...hell..is real. And hell..is fear..personified.

Keith jerks away from Baine.

Keith: You. Are not. Lucifer. You're Tyson Baine. You're a human being. And honestly, I think that any thinking otherwise, is simply distracting you from getting the job done in the ring. A word of advice, Tyson. If you would stop with this hell act, if you would quit acting as though you were some sort of frickin' Demi-God..then maybe, just maybe..you could become a World Champion again..maybe.

Keith scoffs at this, and slowly turns and walks off-screen. Baine's expression is just the same as it was when he came into the screen, un-moving..and the screen cuts back to the arena.

Sam Keith has an interview backstage, by himself. He tells us that he put Ricky Dale Johnson through the toughest match of his entire career two nights ago, a match even tougher then the one he had with Tyson Baine. He ridicules Baine, calling him a wanna-be demon, and saying that isn't real. Baine interupts Keith's interview, however, and lets him know that hell is very real. Keith plays this off, and tells him if he quites focusing on his act, then he could perhaps become World Champion again..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bplus.jpg

Azaria: My God, the nerve of Sam Keith, trying to talk down Tyson Baine, of all people!

Vibert: Tell me about it! Of all the people you'd want to piss off, why would you want to target Tyson Baine?

Azaria: I couldn't tell you, Phil, but Wrestling Fans, your in for a treat, because up next we've got an All-Action Title match!

Vibert: Yeah, and it's between two high-flying DAVE Alumni - Sammy Bach, and Acid! These two guys probably inspired the All-Action division - according to Sammy Bach, Acid's the man who brought high flying to America in the first place!

Azaria: But Phil, Sammy's going to be quite incensed going into this match - he's been very upset for the last few days, he's been absolutely inconsolable, ever since that accident two nights ago.

Vibert: The so-called accident..

Azaria: It was accidental, Phil, and I don't want you making any implications otherwise! And folks, since that missed Motion Censor Roundhouse Kick, no-one has seen Karen Killer! She was sent to the hospital, to check for a concussion, but she apparantly snuck out of it, and she hasn't been seen since!

Vibert: Killer's always been a mysterous one Jason..and a tough one too - but she was knocked out after that kick, for over an hour. She really shouldn't be running around right now, when she may very well have a concussion!

Azaria: I can't imagine the shape that Sammy Bach is in right now. Ever since he joined TCW, Bach has shown that he's in love with Killer, to the point of obsession. And we saw how he lost it when she was kicked..but this match should still be an amazing one folks, and it is up next, after this commercial break!

TCW All-Action Championship

Acid vs. Sammy Bach

"Ugly" by The Exies hits, as the lights go green, and the fans give a plentifull reception, as out comes the much respected Acid onto the stage. He adds something a bit new to his entrance, scanning the crowd on the stage, before pulling his mask up above his mouth - and spitting the acidic liquid into the air, almost spraying it out, letting it fall downwards onto him. He pulls the mask back down, before hurriedly walking down the ramp. He seems to be warming up to being a fan favorite for once. He flips over the top rope, and awaits his opponent..the lights go dark, as 30 Second's To Mars' "Capricorn" hits. Sammy Bach's usual light show is seen, but the faded screen he usually kicks through is not present. When the intro is done, the lights come back up, and reveal Sammy Bach. But he doesn't have his usual fire, nor does he have Karen Killer on his arm like he usually does. The most obvious change, however, is the look on his face - his eyes and the area around them look red, and slightly swollen. He looks as though he's cried quite a bit these last few days, but for the moment, he looks completely devoid of emotion. His usual jump into the ring is skipped tonight - he simply slides into the ring, and hands the belt to Referee Sam Sparrow..

..but seemingly as soon as the bell rings, the emotion shoots back into Bach, as he lets out a primal scream before tackling Acid to the mat, and raining down punches and elbows! The usually vicious Acid is on the defensive at the beggining of the match, as Referee Sparrow desperately tries to pull Bach away from Acid, as the incensed All-Action Champion puts the boots to Acid! Bach risks a Disqualification by shoving Sparrow away, and nailing Acid with a Running Knee! Bach covers for a 2, but continues screaming as he pulls Acid up by the mask - then hits him with a swift and devastating combonation, following up a backbreaker with an immediate neckbreaker! Bach covers again, but Acid is able to power out - only to find more stomps rained down onto him! Finally, Sam Sparrow gets between Bach and Acid, and with all his might, shoves Bach back, seperating him from Acid! Bach is able to settle down a little - enough to allow Acid to get to his knees, only for him to yell "I hate you Teddy!", and hit a Running Dropkick to the side of the head of Acid, for another nearfall! Vibert questions Bach's sanity after that yell, asking if he somehow sees Acid as being Powell tonight! Meanwhile, Acid is finally able to get on the offensive, by countering a Bulldog by shoving Bach into the corner! Bach rebounds off of the impact - right into a German Suplex! Acid bridges, but Bach kicks out!

Acid does what he can to stay on the offensive, definately not wanting to allow Bach to attack him again - this includes him nailing Bach with a Puro-like stiff spinning kick, right when he got to his knees, from the German Suplex! This earns another 2 count. After this, it becomes a bit more of the high flying match that All-Action Title matches would be expected to be, as Acid takes a few risks to keep Bach on the defensive - including a Springboard Dropkick, and a Springboard Clothesline, both of which scored nearfalls. However, on the third Springboard attempt, it costs him, as Bach is able to shoot up to his feet in time, and shove Acid all the way to the outside! Referee Sam Sparrow starts the count, but Bach shows no signs of wanting to end the match via count out, swiftly making his way out, to throw Acid back into the ring! Bach hurls himself back into the ring with the Springboard Legdrop - his former finisher, which is able to connect! But Acid shows his durability in kicking out! His anger seeming to rise, Bach forcefully pulls Acid up to his feet by the mask, and goes for the Adrenaline Rush - only to be caught in Mid-Air with a Back Suplex! Acid bridges, but it only earns another 2!

After a few minutes of Acid being in control, Bach forcefully tries to take it back by grabbing Acid's mask, and starting to pull it off! But Acid holds on to the mask, and when Bach gets it over his mouth, Acid responds by spitting his trademark acid into Bach's eyes! The fans pop this time, as Bach goes down screaming, and Acid decides to just try and end it, going up to the top rope! Acid comes off it with the Acid Rain Bomb - but Bach is able to roll away in time, sending Acid crashing into the mat! Trying to capitilize on Acid's mistake, Bach crawls over to him, and drapes an arm over him - but Acid shows his durability in kicking out! At this point, Bach seems to have calmed down by focusing on the match, and after a couple minutes of holding the advantage, and slowing the match down, Bach decides to show some of the innovation that won him the All-Action Championship, going out to the apron, and Springboarding off the top rope, before driving Acid's face into the mat, with a Springboard Bulldog! The move is executed to perfection, and the announcers are convinced Bach has it when he covers Acid, but Acid continues to perservere, kicking out once again!

It's at this point, Bach's emotions seem to re-emerge, due to the frustration of the match, as it's at this point, he switches to kicks on the downed Acid, occassionally shouting Teddy Powell's name! After a bit of this, Bach decides to finish Acid off, pulling him for an Adrenaline Rush attempt! But Acid is able to hold onto Bach, then trip him to the ground, before locking in the Acidity Test STF! But before Acid can get it completely on, Bach is able to shoot to the ropes! Acid breaks the hold swiftly - and then when he tries to advance on Bach, he is met with a kick to the stomach from the downed All-Action Champion. Bach then springs up, grabs Acid by the head - and then drives him head-first into the mat with a vicious Tornado DDT! Bach follows this up with a bunch of stomps to the face of Acid, his own face twisting more and more into an expression of insanity! Bach doesn't go for the pin after this huge move - he simply pulls Acid back up by the mask, and abruptly pulls him down with the Bach On Your Back! Acid tries to fight it, hanging on for about 15 seconds - but eventually it seems he can't find he can't find a way to break it - he taps!

Sammy Bach wins, via submission, after locking Acid into the Bach On Your Back, at 11:56

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bminus.jpg

Azaria: Acid taps! Bach wins the match - he's still the All-Action Champion!

Vibert: Yeah, but I don't think that fact is going to cheer him up much..

Azaria: I think the only thing that could cheer him up right now would be Karen Kil-, wait a minute!

Vibert: Oh come on, don't! The match is over!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SammyBach.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/Acid.jpg
In-Ring Segment

As soon as Bach is handed the All-Action title, he continues the assault on Acid! He puts the boots to him, then pulls him up, and nails him with the Adrenaline Rush!

The crowd jeers viciously, but Bach doesn't even seem to take notice, as he drives the heavy gold down onto Acid multiple times!

Bach holds up his All-Action Championship..and then goes over to the corner, yelling "Get up, Teddy!" Acid struggles to get to his feet, using the ropes! He turns around, and Bach runs towards him looking to hit him with the Title Belt..

...but is stopped dead in his tracks, when P.O.D's "Addicted" hits over the PA! Bach freezes in the middle of the ring, and turns to see the stage, as Acid goes back down, and the fans give a healthy response, as out comes Teddy Powell onto the stage!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TeddyPowell.jpg

Powell is bandaged and bruised, as he comes out in Street Clothes. He's carrying a microphone with him, and he puts it up to his lips..

Teddy Powell: Get away from him, Sammy..he's not who you want to attack.

With this Powell starts treading down the rampway, as Bach gestures for him to enter the ring.

Powell: Listen..Sammy, listen to me. You know, I know..everyone knows..what happened at the pay-per-view, was an accident. I didn't-I didn't mean to do what I did, Sammy..but that doesn't make it any better. I kicked your girl, Sammy, and..you have every right in the world..to hate me, right now.

Sammy is insensed in the ring, snarling and calling for Teddy to get in the ring. Teddy gets closer to the ring, but doesn't quite look ready to fight.

Powell: Sammy, please just..just hear me out. You know I wouldn't do anything to try and hurt you. No matter what you say, no matter what Karen Killer says, I am your friend. I'm only here to help you. Two nights ago, I was trying to beat some sense into you, but..well..I think I was taking the wrong approach. There's only one way now, for me to gain your trust..and it's to put a stop to this fighting.

Some fans actually boo this statement, as Sammy doesn't look ready to stop at all.

Powell: Sammy...for what happened two nights ago, I'm..I'm sorry..but I'm also not sorry. You see, I'm not sorry that I kicked Karen Killer, individually, because she had it coming. She's brainwashed you for months. She's gotten you to abandon everyone that really cares about you. She deserves everything she gets, but I am sorry that I kicked your woman, Sammy. For that, I deserve your hatred..and I deserve whatever punishment you wish to dish out. So, Sammy..

With this, Powell jumps up to the apron. Sammy looks ready to explode, but Referee Sam Sparrow holds him back as much as he can.

Powell: I want you-

Powell enters the ring, and steps up to Bach.

Powell: - to do your worst. Do whatever you feel is neccessary..but I'm not going to fight you. Not anymore.

With that, Powell, turns the mic off, and puts it in his pocket. He then stands before Bach, his arms down, and his eyes closed. Bach pauses for a moment..then shoves Sam Sparrow to the mat, before tackling Powell, putting him down with a big forearm! Bach sends punch after punch down onto the face of Powell, pulling off his bandages, and re-opening his wounds, in the process, causing blood to spill down his face! Bach pulls Powell up by the hair, and throws him out of the ring!

Bach climbs onto the apron, and hits an elbow drop off of it, to the back of Powell! Bach continues his attack, punching, kicking and stomping Powell, to absolutely no resistance! And in the process of the attack, Bach slowly sends Powell up the rampway, throwing him into both barricades multiple times along the way! Eventually, Bach's attack sends Powell back to the stage! Bach pulls Powell back up by the hair - and bulldogs him onto the metal stage! As the jeering continues on, Bach pulls Powell up again, then sends him face-first onto the stage again, with the Stone Cutter!

Bach sits upright, as many officials come out to check on Powell. Bach slowly stands and starts making his way to the back, apparantly finished with Powell..but then pauses. He slowly turns to look at his bloody former partner..

..and then dives into the sea of officials! Bach strikes all of the referees and medics, getting them to clear the way, before pulling Powell up once again! He brings Powell up close, and with the camera in close to the action, you can hear Bach's words without a mic..

Sammy Bach: I..will..kill..you!

With that, Bach grabs Powell by the throat, and holds him up by it! Bach holds Powell in Chokeslam position for a moment..then walks to the edge of the stage!! While most of the fans jeer, some of them actually pop at the prospect of seeing someone sent off the stage! Bach lets out a roar, and looks to send Powell crashing off the stage..

Powell: Look what she's making you do!

Suddenly Bach stops, and looks up to see that Powell had pulled the mic back up to his lips! Powell breaths heavily, clearly in dire pain, as blood is pouring down his face, and onto his shirt.

Powell: Look..at what she's brainwashed you into..look at what you've become..I'm your friend, and look what she's making you do to me.

Bach's face is frozen in shock at these words, and Bach looks away from Teddy, an expression of confusion growing. Slowly, the All-Action Champion lets Powell down, before turning away from him. He starts walking away from him, as Powell takes a few steps away from the edge, continuing to speak..

Powell: It doesn't have to be this way, Sammy..it shouldn't have to be this way..we shouldn't be fighting, we shouldn't be at war..we're friends. We're best friends.

Bach seems to be ignoring Teddy, walking aimlessly towards the center of the stage, and Powell follows.

Powell: We..we grew up together. We got into this business together. We debuted together. We teamed together for years..years, Sammy..it shouldn't be this way. It shoul-

Powell is abruptly cut off by a Super Kick from Bach! The fans jeer viciously, as Bach's expression turns to a strange mix of shock, anger and confusion! The referees and medics finally come back to swarm over the bloody, and likely knocked out Teddy Powell, as the conflicted Bach makes his exit..

Post-match, Acid is attacked by Sammy Bach, only to be saved by Teddy Powell. As Powell makes his way down the ramp, he apologizes for what occured at The War To Settle The Score, and he lets Bach know that he was no longer fighting him. He tells Bach to do his worst, and is subsequently beaten brutally, being re-busted open in the process. Bach beat Powell all the way down the rampway, and then attempted to Chokeslam him off the stage. But Powell was able to talk Bach down, and avoid being tossed - only to be Super Kicked, and laid out on the stage.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bminus.jpg

Azaria: God..wh-what a scene..

Vibert: This feud between Bach and Powell could not be much more personal..

Azaria: I-I..folks, for once, I really don't know what to say..

Vibert: Powell is doing everything he can to try and re-gain Bach's trust, but I'm not sure if it'll ever work at this rate..

Azaria: ..I, I'm speechless, let's, let's take a commercial break..

Backstage Segment

When we come back, we fade into the backstage, to see the always cheery Jasmine Saunders.

Jasmine Saunders: Hello, wrestling fans, and welcome back to TCW Total Wrestling! Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I would like to introduce to you, the new TCW International Champion, please welcome, Brent Hill!

The screen pans out to see Brent Hill, smiling big, despite a bruise or two, the International Title proudly brandished over his shoulder.

Brent Hill: Thank you very much, Jasmine

Saunders: Brent, just two nights ago, you had an absolutely amazing match with Wolf Hawkins! In fact, many are saying that you two not only stole the show, but that you also put on the best match TCW has had so far, and indeed, a match of the year candidate!

Hill: Heh, well that's a lot of accolades, and I most definately appreciate that. You know, while I really dislike Wolf's attitude, I gotta give it to the kid - he put up one hell of a fight, and at such a young age, the guy already wrestles at a Main Event level, that some guys my age still can't can't accomplish. If he gets a little more experianced, and is able to stop being so damned big headed, then he could very well become the best in the business. But you know what, Jasmine, at The War To Settle The Score, on that night, I was the better man. And on that night, I finally won my first TCW singles Championship!

Hill smiles, as he pulls the belt off his shoulders, to look at it.

Hill: God, that is so beautiful.

Saunders: Indeed, it is, and congratulations, Brent. You really deserve it.

Hill: Well thank you, Jasmine, I'm glad you think s-...

Hill pauses, looking past the pretty young interviewer, and Jasmine looks back, then gains a look of surprise. The screen pans out after a second, to show..none other then John Anderson.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/HumanArsenal-1.jpg

He's bedecked in the same suit he wore about a half hour ago, and is sporting a rather smug looking grin. The fans jeering is heard in the background, as he takes off his sunglasses to look at Hill, eye-to-eye.

John Anderson: Well, well, well..International Champion, huh? Well you know what, Brent..I'm sure you won't beleive me when I say this..but I'm happy for you.

Hill: ..Is that right?

Anderson: Yes, yes it is. I'm happy, that you can be successful, without The Syndicate, I am. Honestly, man..I'm proud of you. And I just wish you, my congratulations.

Anderson smiles as he offers his hand to Hill. But the newly crowned International Champion doesn't even look at it. He just stares at Anderson with an angered expression on his face.

Hill: What..in God's name..makes you think, that I want to shake your hand?

Anderson: Oh, come on, Brent..you're not still mad at me, are you?

Hill: ...Not still mad?

Brent stares at Anderson for a moment..and then grabs him up by the collar, pulling him in close, a look of rage forming on the International Champion's face.

Hill: Not still mad?! You were supposed to be my friend, damn it! You were supposed to be my partner, my companion - the one I could trust, no matter what happened! And you sold me out! And for what?! So you could continue being used by that bastard, Tommy Cornell?! So you could continue being his pawn, his puppet?! Huh?! Is that what you betrayed me for?! Yes! Yes, I'm still mad! I'm mad as hell, and if you don't get out of here in the next 10 seconds, I'm going to annihilate you, no matter how damned injured you are!

Anderson: ..You can't be serious!

Hill: Oh, I'm damned serious! I don't want to see you! I don't even want to hear your damned name any more! Now get out!

With that, Hill forcefully shoves Anderson away. Anderson doesn't look pleased, and Brent looks about ready to knock him out.

Hill: ...1...2...3..

Anderson doesn't look too ready to fight..and instead turns and walks away..

Hill looks on for a moment..before doing the same.

Brent Hill, the new TCW International Champion, has an interview backstage, which is interupted by his former partner, John Anderson. Anderson tells Hill he's happy for him, but Hill lets Anderson know that he never wants to see him again. Hill gets the point across by threatening to annihilate him, injured or not. Anderson eventually buys it, turning and walking away.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bminus.jpg

Vibert: Boy, from one set of former partners feuding, to another, eh Jason?

Azaria: No kidding, it seems like that's a recurring theme tonight!

Vibert: Yeah, but moving on from that, we've got what could be a great match coming up - Eric Tyler, coming off a rather shady win over Genghis Rahn two nights ago, will be wrestling a mystery opponent, one he claims is someone who is very old school, and a former enemy of his!

Azaria: And given the long career of Tyler's..and, well, the fact that he's got a habit of pissing off everyone he meets..that could very well be anybody!

Vibert: Definately an interesting situation, Jason! And here comes Tyler now..let's see who TCW's newest addition is!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EricTyler.jpg

Guns 'N Roses' "Chinese Democracy" hits, and out comes "The Wonder" Eric Tyler. The fans jeer Tyler, who is more hated then ever, after his rather hypocritical way of winning at the Pay-Per-View. He makes his way down the ramp, looking as generally displeased as usual, giving his usual beratings to those who dare sit in the front row.

Tyler makes his way down the ramp, and into the ring, continuing to talk trash to the fans, as his music fades.

Tyler stands in the ring, as the fans await in anticipation as to what theme is about to hit..

..and react in a shocked pop, as it turns out to be "Final Countdown" by Europe!

Vibert: What?!

Azaria: Wait a minute! It..it couldn't be!

The pop of antipation continues, and as soon as the intro's done, out comes none other then the highly respected Steve Flash!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SteveFlash.jpg

He comes out from the Crippler Position, with a bright smile, quite pleased with his reception.

Azaria: Steve Flash! Steve Flash! I can't beleive it!

Vibert: Steve Flash, making his first appearance in TCW, after over two decades of wrestling! And folks, he only wrestled six matches during his tenure in DAVE, but they where six of the best matches in DAVE's history!

Azaria: And he's out here to wrestle the man who he's wrestled in indy companies all over the United States, in the 80's and early 90's! This is a match years in the making!

Flash walks down the rampway, clapping the fans hands on the way down, fan friendly, as always. He slides into the ring, and steps up to Eric Tyler..who offers him his hand! Always unassuming, Flash smiles and accepts the handshake..

..only for Tyler to kick Flash in the stomach, and try for a DDT, as the bell rings!

Eric Tyler makes his way out, and awaits his mystery opponent, who turns out to be Steve Flash! Once Flash enters the ring, Tyler offers a handshake, but when it's accepted, he kicks him in the stomach, and goes for a DDT!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EricTyler.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SteveFlash.jpg

Eric Tyler vs. Steve Flash

The sneaky Eric Tyler is fighting to catch the surprised Steve Flash with a DDT, presumebly looking for a quick and easy victory. But Flash has never been easy to defeat, and despite being taken by surprise, he is able to counter Tyler with a Snap Overhead Belly To Belly! Tyler is sent flying across the ring, and as soon as he's up, he's pleading his case to a not-so-pleased Steve Flash, telling him he was just messing with him. Tyler then again offered his hand, but this time Flash doesn't go for the bait, instead grabbing his arm for an irish whip, taking down "The Wonder" with a Tilt-a-whirl Backbreaker! Tyler bounces up off the impact - and is then caught with a vicious Reverse DDT! Flash hooks the leg of Tyler, but he's just able to kick out. Flash continues the domination, whipping Tyler to the ropes, then catching him with a Throw Down Spinebuster! Flash then follows up by going up to the top rope, and, showing off his age defying athleticism, comes off it with a Flying Elbow Drop, driving his elbow into the heart of the 48 year old Tyler! Flash covers, and Tyler just narrowly avoids the loss!

Flash continues his dominant start for a few minutes, and looks to keep it going, pulling Tyler up to his feet - but the veteran Tyler is able to counter with one of the oldest tricks in the book, stomping on Flash's foot, which Tyler follows up with by hitting a Snap Suplex! Tyler floats over to cover, but Flash kicks out just after a 1 count! Tyler keeps on the offensive for a bit, trying to keep Flash grounded. But as has been proven multiple times in the past, this is easier said then done, as Flash is able to get to his feet, then jump up into the air, for a very impressive Snapmare - which Flash immediately follows up on with a Running Neck Snap which Flash, in turn, immediately follows up on with a Basement Dropkick! Flash gains another nearfall off this combo, as Vibert praises Flash's skills, stating that he's putting on a clinic, as usual. Flash pulls Tyler up to his feet, and goes for a Tornado DDT - the usage of which was popularized by Flash, atleast in the States - but Tyler is able to shove Flash away in mid-air, then catch him with a Shooter Takedown!

Off the takedown, Tyler wastes no time in trying to defeat Flash, going for the famous Stoneshooter submission hold - Flash is able to kick him away on the first attempt, but when the man that many call "Remarkable" tries to follow up with a Running Dropkick, Tyler is able to catch the legs, and take him down, before this time successfully locking in the Stoneshooter! Tyler leans back as far as he can, putting a massive amount of torque on the back and legs of Flash, who quickly finds himself screaming in agony! Flash valiantly tries to crawl forward to the ropes - but at the last second, Tyler is able to step forward to the middle of the ring! Flash is kept into the crippling hold for well over a minute, the crowd doing their damnest to will him on! Flash again crawls over to the ropes - and again, Tyler is able to walk back to the middle of the ring! Tyler shoots as far backwards as he can manage, wrenching even harder onto the legs of Flash - and while doing so, he talks some trash to him as well! But Tyler may end up eating those words, as Flash is able to reach back, and lock his arms around the neck of Tyler! Flash wrenches back on Tyler, and continues doing so until he's the one with the leverage advantage! But the real pain only comes when Flash is able to completely twist himself around - and suddenly Tyler finds himself locked into the Bow And Arrow Lock! Screaming in pain, Tyler swiftly undoes the leg lock, and is able to fight away from Flash's grip!

Flash was able to break the devestating submission hold, but Tyler is still the one with the advantage, as he punt kicks Flash right in the stomach, knocking him a couple feet into the air! Tyler then again tries for the Stoneshooter, but this time is able to kick him away - and Flash proceeds to follow up with a Running Dropkick! But when he gets up, he's holding his legs and limping a bit - damage has definately been done! Flash keeps on the offensive for the next couple of minutes, but after every big move, he has to stop and take a second to hold onto his leg. One more then one occassion, this ends up potentially costing him the victory, as it delays multiple pin attempts, all of which Eric Tyler just gets the shoulder up against. The injury finally caught up with Flash, after Tyler ducked a Short Arm Clothesline attempt, and then countered with a Chop Block! Flash went down in a screech of pain, but before he could hit the mat, Tyler hooked his arms for the Tradition Lift!

Flash is in a mass of pain in nearly part of his frame at this point, but he had the precense of mind to send a few kicks back to the torso of Tyler! Before being locked in the hold too long, he's able to get back to the mat - stumbling a bit on the landing. Flash hits the ropes, and goes for a Hurricarana on Tyler - but "The Wonder" is able to counter this with a harsh Powerbomb! Tyler uses the positioning to keep Flash's legs in the air, pinning him to the mat - but as soon as Referee Ray Johnson goes down for the count, Tyler grabs the second rope for leverage! 1..2..Flash desperately flails his legs, but can't kick out - 3! Tyler gets it! As soon as the bell rings, Tyler flies off of Flash, celebrating as though he had won fairly - and Flash actually gets to his feet before Tyler, using the ropes to stand up, with a look of bewilderment on his face! He tries pleading his case to Ray Johnson, but doesn't get much sympathy from the veteran referee!

Eric Tyler wins, via pinfall, after Tyler hit a Powerbomb and held onto the ropes, at 10:42

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cplus.jpg

Azaria: Well that was cheap!

Vibert: Eric Tyler's never been afraid to bend a rule or two, Jason.

Azaria: I know, but damn it, Tyler's been talking for days about how he's going to bring in "one of his own", and have an old fashion kind of match, and -

Vibert: - and he backed up that claim by using some of the oldest tricks in the book.

Azaria: Phil, seriously, sometimes I feel like you're defending Eric Tyler.

Vibert: I'd never go out of my way to defend his actions, Jason - I'm just telling it like it is, that's all.

Azaria: Well, that blemished ending aside, that was a fine match, and I'm very pleased to say that Steve Flash has finally found his way to TCW! And now, Phil, here's a little something you may not have known..

Vibert: Lay it on me.

Azaria: ..Steve Flash was raised from an infant to a young adult in Edmonton, Alberta, and by all means considers himself a Canadian - but he's never had to fight to get a passport here in the States, because he was actually born in Manhassent, New York - and is legally known as an American!

Vibert: Get out of here.

Azaria: It's true, Phil. His dad found work in Manhassent a year before his birth. His parents thusly bought a house there, and that's where he ended up being born.

Vibert: Boy, you really are a human encyclopedia, Jason..I didn't even see that on his Wiki page!

Azaria: My sources are as un-named as that sites', Phil. But I find them a tad more trustworthy..anyway, folks, we're going to go to commercial now, and when we come back, we will have yet another installment of the Laying Down The Law Challenge!

In-Ring Segment

Nickelback's "Breath" hits, and out comes the beloved Rick Law to a fine reception. He's as humble as always, tipping his hat to the crowd, before walking down the ramp, and entering the ring. He pulls a mic from his pocket.

Rick Law: Well, well, well..what can I say about you fine folks here..? Well, aside from "Go Patriots", that is..

5 cent pop.

Rick Law: You all know how this goes - I don't got much to say..bring out my opponent.

Law lowers the mic, and the fans pause for a moment in anticipation, until "Becoming The Bull" by Atreyu hits. Some of the audiance might have expected a bigger name at this point in the challenge, but most of the crowd jeers accordingly, as out stomps American Buffalo, his manager Floyd Goldworthy barking advice into his ear, as usual.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/AmericanBuffalo.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/FloydGoldworthy.jpg

Azaria notes that the American Buffalo has fallen on a bit of a losing streak as of late - getting a big win over Law tonight, and ending the Laying Down The Law Challenge, would be a great way for him to bounce back. Buffalo does his typical entrance, of slamming his hands behind him, and bringing them up in a horn gesture, as a fire arch shoots out above him. It leaves a good deal of smoke, which Buffalo proceeds to inhale in, then exhale out of his nose.

He makes his way into the ring, and stares directly into the eyes of Rick Law, seemingly quite focused..

Law tips his hat to Buffalo, and then throws it to the crowd, before the bell rings.

Rick Law comes out for the ninth installment of the Laying Down The Law Challenge - and this week, it's the American Buffalo that answers the call.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RickLaw.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/AmericanBuffalo.jpg

Rick Law vs.

American Buffalo attempts to gain the immediate advantage, dashing at Law out of the box. But Rick Law has a speed advantage that he's not particularly used to in this match, and is able to dodge Buffalo's first attempt at a Shoulder Block. Law shoves Buffalo on, causing him to rebound off the ropes. Buffalo tries to use this to his advantage, going for a high velocity clothesline, but Law is able to duck this one. Buffalo hits the ropes again - and just about gets caught with the Long Arm Of The Law, but his crafty manager, Floyd Goldworthy sees it coming, and is able to get on the apron in time to grab Buffalo, keeping him from running into an easy victory. Law, as usual, put all the force he could muster behind the lariat attempt, and the momentum ended up sending him to his knees - where the American Buffalo was able to catch him with a harsh Big Boot! Control now in his corner, American Buffalo covers Law, but the former International Champion is able to kick out.

Buffalo is able to keep the momentum for a while after sealing it with the Big Boot, hitting his typical power moves - although at one point he introduces a new move to his arsenal with an Overhead Belly To Belly, in an attempt to show off his slowly improving technical skills. It only gets a 2 however. Law shows some resiliance in kicking out of several big moves, but when he's finally able to string some offense together, a comeback ends up being snagged, as when he goes to hit the ropes, perhaps setting up for the Long Arm Of The Law, he gets tripped up by Floyd Goldworthy, falling to the mat! Referee Yasuyuki Terakado sees this, and despite his always present leniancy, he is absolutely irate, and ends up throwing Goldworthy out, to a massive applause! Goldworthy pitches a fit in protest, and complains all the way up the ramp - but it doesn't help Rick Law much, as Buffalo gets back on the offensive during the commotion, and is able to keep Law grounded, trying to keep the speed advantage out of the equation.

Buffalo keeps on Law, but shows a few signs from here-on-out, of perhaps being a tad lost without his manager. At one point, he hits a crushing Spear, that hits with enough force, that Azaria is already counting Law out - but Buffalo shockingly doesn't go for the cover, instead pulling Law up for a Stampede attempt! This mental error may end up costing Buffalo, as Law is able to slip out behind him before he can get a running start, and Law is then able to catch him with a Clothesline from behind! But Law is too winded to follow up, and the referee starts a 10 count, as the crowd tries to rally behind Law. At 5, they get up at the same time, and trade punches, to a "Boo!/Yah!" chant. Eventually, Buffalo, with a slight strength advantage, is able to get the advantage, sending punch after punch to Law. But when he tries to get him with the Irish Whip, Law reverses it, sending him to the ropes instead. Law then attempts to catch Buffalo with the Long Arm Of The Law, but Buffalo ducks it - then nails a huge flying Clothesline!

But again, without his manager Goldworthy out to guide him, it seems Buffalo doesn't realize what a great pinning oppurtunity he already has, again opting instead to pull Law up for another Stampede attempt! Buffalo backs into the corner, then dashes to the opposite corner - but mid-run, Law is able to slip behind Buffalo again - this time, adding a shove to his back, sending him crashing into the corner! Buffalo bounces off impact, as Law hits the ropes right next to the corner - boom, Long Arm Of The Law! Even American Buffalo is just about folded in half on the impact! Law covers, and gains his ninth straight victory this year!

Rick Law wins, via pinfall, after hitting the Long Arm Of The Law, at 8:54

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_c.jpg

Azaria: Rick Law with yet another great performance, turning away yet another steep challenge!

Vibert: Yeah, and Jason, I have to say, in that latter half of that match, it became more and more apparant as to why Buffalo has a manager - on two occassions, he threw away a possible victory!

Azaria: Agreed, Phil! But you know what, as the master of facts, even I was surprised to learn this little thing you may not know..

Vibert: A two-fer tonight, Jason?

Azaria: ..Throughout his 18-year wrestling career, American Buffalo has never been without a manager! He has literally never wrestled a match while striking out on his own! So without one, he's just like a rookie in there - he's never really learned when and where to capitilize all by himself, he's always had someone guiding him throughout his career!

Vibert: Well hell, that may end up costing him, Jason! You can't possibly go your entire career that way!

Azaria: Agreed again, Phil! Buffalo really needs to learn how to go out on his own..but in any case, coming up next is another man who many think should be on his own - the now former International Champion Wolf Hawkins, shall be taking on the man that nearly upset him two weeks ago, "The Mexican Machine Gun" Antonio Marquez!

Vibert: Nice segue.

Azaria: Thanks, I try.

Backstage Segment

Cut backstage to see Eric Tyler, towel over his shoulder, still a tad sweaty from his match about 10 minutes ago. He's got an arrogant grin as he saunders around the hallway, and heavy jeers can be heard in the background.

Eric Tyler: Heh, Tyler, you did it again, Champ..so much for Flash being the most talented vet..

Tyler scoffs at that notion, but pauses when he hears a feminine voice..

???: Eric, Eric!

Tyler stops, and turns to see Jasmine Saunders bounding towards him.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JasmineSaunders.jpg

Many men would probably be elated at the sight of her, but Eric Tyler puts on a scowl.

Tyler: What the hell do you want, bimbo?

Saunders is able to ignore this remark..

Saunders: Eric Tyler, just a little while ago, you faced and defeated the legendary Steve Flash, but..well, in a bit of an underhanded way..

Tyler: Underhanded way? I didn't win in an underhanded way - I won my way. Listen here, "Jas", as everyone around here seems to so fondly adress you..cheating is the oldest of the old school. People have been breaking the rules of wrestling, since before they were written. Dirty tactics behind the referees back have been a part of wrestling, for about as long as headlocks have been a part of wrestling. There was rarely a wrestling match in ancient Greece, that didn't involve a Greco-Roman Hair Pull or two. Everyone knows that a large part of the Russian Sambo Style has always been a thumb to the eye. Hell, I even think Abe Lincoln hit a low blow or two on that Sabretooth Tiger that he wrestled to the ground of the White House Lawn. So I don't want any crap from anybody about how I win my matches - especially a little tart like you! You know what, the only single person that has any less right to criticize me is that Viking-looking peice o-

???: Hey, hey, hey - watch it, bud, it's Live National TV!

Tyler jumps at the sound of a familar - gravely, yet mellow - voice, and he turns with a scowl to see the 5 time Hardcore Champion, Genghis Rahn!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/GenghisRahn.jpg

Genghis Rahn: You do all that talk about being old school, yet you go out calling our pretty little interviewer a bimbo, and trying to alert the censors with your insults of me? And this just two nights after what you pulled, are you ever practicing what you preach?

Tyler: Two nights ago? I have no idea what you're talking about..

Rahn: Oh, you don't? Well, maybe this'll jog your memory..

Rahn puts his hand up to his forehead, and starts picking at one of his many scars..before eventually pulling out a peice of glass from one?! He shows it to Tyler with a mis-leadingly mellow smile..

Rahn: See that? That one's from you..I think. I'm not 100% on it, but it definately looks like it's from a light tube, and before the shot you gave me two nights ago, I haven't gotten hit with one of those since, like, '95, so..

Tyler: Alright, fine, fine. I did something I wasn't proud of - I de-evolved myself, and became a garbage wrestler, just like you - for about 10 seconds. I do what I have to do to win, Genghis. I do what I have to do.

Rahn: Is that right? So you'll dump your morales, your standards, your values, for just a little while - if it means you can get beat me, is that right? Are you willing to do it again, Tyler?

Tyler: ...What are you saying?

Rahn: What am I saying..? I'm saying-

Rahn points at Tyler..

Rahn: -You,-

Rahn points at himself..

Rahn: -me, Hardcore Match.

Tyler: Pfft, you've gotta be kidding! I'd just never lay my hands on a "weapon" again!

Rahn: Had a feeling you'd say that..but I think you might just change your tune afte-

Before even finishing the sentance, Rahn swiftly tackles Tyler into the wall! Saunders screams and makes her exit, as Rahn rams Tyler's head into the wall, before throwing him to the other side of the hallway! Rahn then sits next to Tyler, ever-casually.

Rahn: A few more attacks like this, and I'm sure you'll be more then ready for a rematch, Eric..but the only type of match I'd accept right now, is one with no rules. So uh, just as soon as you regain conciousness, and realize what happened to you..get back to me about that, 'kay? 'Kay. See you, Eric.

With that, Rahn stands..then drops a knee over "The Wonder"'s forehead. Rahn walks away, laughing non-chalantly, as the screen fades..

Eric Tyler is backstage, when Jasmine Saunders comes up asking for him to explain his cheating in his match with Steve Flash. Tyler states that cheating is the oldest of the old school, but is interupted in his tirade by Genghis Rahn, who challenges the most tenured man on the roster to a hardcore match. Tyler declines, prompting Rahn to attack Tyler - his plan being that this would get Tyler behind the idea of a rematch, and that the only rematch Rahn would accept, would be a hardcore one, thereby getting Tyler to give him what he wants..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bminus.jpg

Azaria: Wow! Rahn may have mellowed out - or so it seems - but he knows how to send a message when he needs to!

Vibert: Well it's always going to be tough to get Eric Tyler in a hardcore match. I mean, my company had hardcore rules as Standard, and he wrestled..about seven of them, throughout his some 10 years with us! Most of the time he only wrestled the "Tyler's Rules" matches..

Azaria: Indeed, but as you mentioned, a select have been able to push him to the extreme! The question remains though, will Rahn suceed in this? Will he get the match with Tyler that he so wants?

Vibert: I can't tell you Jason, but I can tell you this - up next, I'm getting a match I definately want to see!

Azaria: Hah, no kidding, Phil! Wolf Hawkins, the now former International Champion, will be going one-on-one with one of the brightest prospects I have ever seen - Antonio Marquez! And that match will b-, oh, that match'll be now!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/WolfHawkins1.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/AntonioMarquez.jpg

vs.

Azaria's hyping is interupted (Although it was pretty much finished, anyway) by The Gorillaz' "Clint Eastwood", which blares alongside the sound of riot-like jeers. Wolf Hawkins comes out looking as arrogant as ever, despite no longer brandishing the International gold that he's held for the past seven months. He saunders his way down the rampway, then strides up the steps in typical fashion. He does his usual entrance of walking all the way across the apron, shooting an odd look to the fans, as though wondering why they boo him, before going up to the top rope, and doing the double hand-flick gesture, fellowed by a Devil Horn Gesture - the formerly beloved Youth Gone Wild pose. He jumps down onto the canvas, as Control Machete's "Artillería Pesada" hits to a nice reception, and out comes Antonio Marquez, in his typical big smile and shiny jacket. He claps a few of the fans hands, before dashing on down the ramp. He jumps up onto to the apron, then to the second rope, then top rope, before backflipping off the turnbuckle post, onto the canvas - all in one swift motion! He seems pleased with himself after his showboating, but Hawkins doesn't look too impressed..in fact, he looks generally as bored as possible with this flashy entrance..

..but bored isn't exactly the look seen on his face when he is immediately met right in the mouth with a Dropkicksault from Marquez, directly at the ring of the bell! In a show of stunning athleticism, Marquez gets a running start before the Dropkicksault, and after following through with the flip, actually lands on top of Hawkins, in pinning position! Shocked and harmed, Hawkins just barely kicks out of the immediate pin attempt! Marquez keeps the flashy offense coming with a harsh Springboard Spin Kick, for another 2! Hawkins tries to cut off his momentum with a Kick-In-DDT, before Marquez counters with a Back Body Drop, then runs over to the corner, jumps to the top rope, and comes off it with a Crossbody, again putting Hawkins in a pinning predicimate, and again nearly scoring the massive upset! Finally, Hawkins has an answer for Marquez, after reversing an Irish Whip. He goes for a Back Body Drop, but Marquez is able to stop himself in the ropes. Marquez then dashes towards Hawkins, and goes for a clothesline, but Hawkins ducks. And Marquez turns to face Hawkins, he's met with a jaw cracking Super Kick! Hawkins covers, but Marquez narrowly kicks out, much to Hawkins' shock!

Vibert defends the strength of the Super Kick, claiming that the reason Marquez could kick out was because it was the first move Hawkins hit, and Marquez was not yet softened up enough for the victory, and not because the Super Kick is a weak move. Meanwhile, Hawkins takes control of the match after being put the wringer in the first couple minutes, keeping Marquez grounded with the Puro-Style kicks that Cornell likely taught him. After catching him with one to the lower back, Hawkins starts to work that area, focusing many of his holds on it, before bringing him up for a few Backbreakers and slams, wearing him down more then anything. He tries to capitilize on it with a Snap Powerslam, but Marquez counters it in stunning fashion, twisting in mid-air for a Reverse DDT! But instead of another pin attempt, Marquez nips up to his feet, then climbs up to the top rope again, for a Moonsault attempt - only for Hawkins to roll out of the way at the last second, leaving Marquez to crash into the mat! Hawkins crawls over, pulls "The Mexican Machine Gun" over to his back, and drapes an arm, but Marquez shows his endurance in getting the shoulder up!

The match goes back and forth for a few minutes here, and the first finisher attempt of the match occurs when Hawkins goes for the New Moon Rising - but with lighting speed, Marquez is able to not only duck it, but then shoot backwards, and grab the still twisting Hawkins in mid-air, before slamming down him with a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam! Marquez, rolling after this reversal, goes for the finish, swiftly locking in his Champagne Breakfast submission hold - but unfortunately for him, Hawkins had the precense of mind to roll closer to the ropes after being slammed down, and was able the ropes, almost the second the devastating hold was locked in. Not to be detirred, Marquez meets the grounded Hawkins with a snap kick to the back, before going up to the top rope once again! Marquez does his jumping C gesture, before going off the top with a beautiful Champagne Sunrise Frog Splash! The impact is so great, that Marquez actually hurts himself a little, as well as Hawkins - and the moment that Marquez takes to hold his ribs, is just enough time for the crafty Hawkins to roll to the outside, avoiding being pinned!

Say what you will, but that little move showed some great precense of mind, as Vibert points out. Marquez waits in the ring for a bit, until the ref's count gets to 5 - but when Hawkins stands up, Marquez shows it's not the 10 count he's waiting for, instead he dashes all the way across the ring, then clears the ropes completely with a flip to the outside, before nailing Hawkins with a Seated Senton! Marquez shoots up and yells to the crowd, who yell their approval back to him! Marquez then pulls Hawkins up, and throws him into the ring. Marquez goes up to the apron, and again waits for Hawkins to rise. When the former International Champion gets to his feet, Marquez jumps up to the top rope and goes for what looks like a Springboard DDT - but Hawkins holds him up in the air in suplex position for a bit, before bouncing him off the same top rope he springboarded off of, and nailing him with the Rough Ride! Hawkins sits up for a bit with an arrogant grin, before pulling Marquez up to his feet by the hair - and locking him into the Guilt Trip! Marquez flails for many seconds, but doesn't tap - only to eventually pass out! Hawkins gets a very hard fought victory!

Wolf Hawkins wins, via submission, after Antonio Marquez passed out to the Guilt Trip, at 9:47

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_b.jpg

Azaria: Wow! My Lord, what a match, and what a counter!

Vibert: "What a counter"? That's all you've got to say?! He reversed what looked to be Springboard DDT, into a Rough Ride! That may be the greatest counter I've ever witnessed!

Azaria: Fine, fine, I guess I had that coming..but really, after all the accolades I've given the kid, even I didn't see him dominating so much of this match coming!

Vibert: Well you know what, Jason, neither did I - and I was calling him a future World Champion before anybody else! That was an amazing performance by Antonio Marquez!

Azaria: Honestly, it shocks me that after a full month in this company, he hasn't gotten a win yet-..wait a minute..

In-Ring Segment

After a few moments of his typical hamming it up, Hawkins meets the downed Marquez with a sudden punt kick to the ribs! Hawkins scans the crowd with a greasy grin, as his music fades.

Hawkins pulls the former Soap Opera star up by the hair, and then pushes him up against the ropes. Hawkins talks a little smack to the semi-concious Marquez, before slapping him right across the face, showing a massive amount of disrespect! Hawkins then shoves him towards the middle of the ring, as Marquez staggers to stay on his feet. Hawkins hits the ropes, then absolutely nails Marquez with the New Moon Rising Running Enziguri!

Hawkins poses over the fallen Marquez for a while, before calling for a microphone.

Wolf Hawkins: This..this right here, is a message, sent directly to a one..Brent Hill.

The crowd pops at the mention of Hill's name, causing Hawkins' smile to dull a bit.

Hawkins: Because you see, two nights ago, Brent did what I truly, truly..truly doubted he could do, and that's defeat me for the TCW International Championship in this very ring.

The crowd again pops, causing Hawkins' smile to disspear.

Hawkins: ..But while I give him all the kudos in the world for that, I must say that there is one thing he forgot to mention in that little interview of his earlier, and that is that next week..I will be getting my rematch against Brent Hill. Oh yes..oh yes. I will be getting a shot at regaining what is rightfully mine, but not only will I be getting a shot at the belt..I will also be getting a shot at the belt..in the main event! Haha, that's right! For the first of what is sure to be literally thousands of times, Wolf Hawkins will be main eventing a TCW show, in a one-on-one title match! So, Brent, enjoy your next week with my title. Enjoy going out in all the house shows and defending it against lame duck challenger after lame duck challenger. Enjoy it, because after next week's Total Wrestling is said and done..you will never hold it..ever again.

Hawkins non-chalantly throws the microphone over his shoulder, as his arrogant grin returns, and "Clint Eastwood" by The Gorillaz hits again. Hawkins acts like he's going to leave, then decides to add a second Punt Kick to the ribs of Marquez, just because, before making his exit, to a roar of boos.

Post-match, Hawkins adds injury to injury, attacking the fallen Antonio Marquez, capping it off with the New Moon Rising Enziguri that he was unable to hit in the match. He then states that the attack, to be sent to the new International Champion, Brent Hill. He announces the title rematch he will be having for the Main Event of TCW Total Wrestling, in just one weeks time.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_b.jpg

Vibert: What the hell is up with this kid? You think that little display impressed Brent Hill a single iota?

Azaria: I doubt it, Phil, I really do! And it doesn't seem Hawkins has gained any respect for Marquez, despite him taking him to the limit twice now!

Vibert: He'll earn some respect sooner or later, Jason, but even so, I must say I really love the idea for next weeks main event!

Azaria: Same here, partner - the International Title scene has been hotter then ever recently, and it only got bigger two nights ago, when Brent Hill and Wolf Hawkins - arguably - stole the show!

Vibert: Who's arguing? That was a classic match! An absolute classic! And now it's main eventing next week, I can't wait for it!

Azaria: Me either, Phil, but this should keep us content in the meantime..Ricky Dale Johnson vs. Tommy Cornell!

Vibert: Oh hell yes, it'll keep me content! The biggest headliner of TCW today, here tonight, on live prime time Television! This will be awesome - and this will be right after this commercial break!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TommyCornell-1.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RickyDaleJohnson.jpg

vs. Ricky Dale Johnson

The lights turn to a dark blue, and Metallica's cover of the classic "Turn The Page" hits, to a mass of boos from the crowd, as out comes the TCW World Heavyweight Champion Tommy Cornell. He's sporting both the TCW World Heavyweight Title over his shoulder, and his typical scowl, although it's a bit less intense then usual, perhaps happy to have seen his protege`s' "message". He scans the crowd, looking typically displeased as usual, as he strides down the ring. He rolls into the ring, and forcefully shoves his prestigious belt into the chest of IE Referee Sabanobu Koruba, apparantly not wanting any time in starting off this massive main event. "Livin' On Borrowed Time" by Puddle of Mudd proceeds to blare, to an absolutely enormous reception, and out comes just about every TCW fan's favorite wrestler Ricky Dale Johnson - one of the biggest reactions he's ever gotten, coming off the rubber match victory over Sam Keith. He walks down the ring simply, yet hurriedly. He still shows some love to his fans, but does it without ever taking his eyes off the TCW World Heavyweight Champion. RDJ enters the ring quite slowly, knowing, perhaps better then anyone, how untrustworthy Tommy Cornell is. But Cornell, to his credit, waits (im)patiently in the corner, skipping a pre-match attack, atleast for this contest. The two stare each other down, as the bell rings..

For the first 10 or so seconds, neither make a move, and the crowd gets louder and louder, anticipating the first blow. The stare down continues, as Cornell starts talking a bit of trash. RDJ seems unimpressed, but doesn't make a move, seemingly not wanting to make the first mistake. Cornell tries to force him to do so, giving him a hard push to the chest, taking him back a few steps. RDJ keeps his cool, as Cornell continues talking some crap - and follows up on it with a slap right to the face - which is quickly countered with a massive return slap, that actually takes Cornell to the mat on impact! The fans pop, as Ricky Dale suddenly drops the cool act, and goes bezerk on Cornell, putting in stomp after stomp to his most hated rival! RDJ pounds on him in the early going, using basic strikes - although every last one of them are delivered with such strength, as if he put every single bit of his power behind each of them. His assualt is brought to an abrupt end, however, when Tommy Cornell counters a Headhunter Lariat attempt with a Back Body Drop, that takes Ricky Dale Johnson all the way out to the floor, crashing to the outside! Cornell hams it up a bit for the crowd, soaking in the anti-adulation, before following RDJ to the outside!

Some rough brawling ensues for the next minute or so, as Cornell throws RDJ against everything available - the steel steps, the gaurd rail, the ring apron, the ring post. IE Referee Koruba's count gets to 8, before Cornell throws RDJ's battered body into the ring, and follows. Inside, Cornell follows up on his brutal attack by lifting RDJ up, and nailing a harsh Implant DDT! Cornell covers for the first pin attempt of the match, but RDJ is able to kick out. Cornell retains control for a little while longer, trying to keep RDJ grounded - but as Ricky Dale Johnson has shown so very many times in the future, that's not exactly quite easy to do. After quite a few seconds in a Dragon Sleeper, Ricky Dale is able to get to his feet, and actually pull Cornell towards the ropes - and in a show of athleticism, he actually jumps at the ropes, springing his feet off of them, using the leverage to get to his feet, hooking from behind in Reverse DDT position - and completing the motion by pulling him up in Oklahoma Slam position! RDJ turns around, and gets a running start, before sending Cornell back-first into the mat with the Oklahoma Slam! RDJ covers, but Cornell is just able to kick out at 2!

Ricky Dale keeps on Cornell, softening him up forearms, and nearly seals the win after following up on a Low Dropkick with a Snap DDT, but Cornell is again able to kick out. Ricky Dale keeps the pressure on Cornell, but the TCW World Heavyweight Champion attempts to repeat an earlier spot, countering a Lariat with a Back Body Drop to the outside again - but this time, RDJ is able to stay on the apron! Cornell turns and sees him, and throws a haymaker - but Ricky Dale blocks it, then nails him with one of his own! Cornell stumbles back a bit, but then dashes forward for a headbutt to the exposed stomach of RDJ, taking him down to his knees on the apron - Cornell follows up on this by pulling Ricky Dale's head and torso between the ropes, until he's elevated by his ankles on the ropes alone! And Cornell likely gives him a concussion with an absolutely cruel DDT - the third variation of one hit so far! Cornell gets up and plays it up to the crowd for a while, obviously quite sure of victory after that move. He continues to show his incomparable arrogance by pinning RDJ with his foot on his chest - but RDJ gets the shoulder up! Cornell looks shocked, and covers him, this time hooking the leg, but again RDJ kicks out!

Cornell starts to get a look of desperation here, but he keeps his cool as he pulls RDJ up, and lifts him up in Suplex position..and then bounces his legs off the ropes! He's clearly going for the Rough Ride - but it's safe to say RDJ has been hit with this move quite few times, as he's actually able to stop it by wrapping his ankles around the top rope! Cornell looks bewildered at this, and instead catches the elevated RDJ with a European Uppercut, allowing him to fall to the mat! But when Cornell pulls RDJ up, and whips him to the ropes, Ricky Dale is able to counter - then catches him on the rebound with his signature Headhunter Lariat, that actually causes "Rough Justice" to flip backwards! Cornell struggles to his feet, and desperately dashes towards Ricky Dale - only to be driven into the mat with a Twirling Spinebuster! Ricky Dale Johnson springs up and starts playing the crowd, who are definately sensing that the end is near! Ricky Dale paces for a bit, waiting for Cornell to get back to his feet - and when he does, Ricky Dale goes for the Uranage Slam - but Cornell is able to elbow him away. The force of the blow causes Ricky Dale to stagger a bit, and ends up turning around after the impact - and Cornell uses that oppurtunity to nail a chop block, taking Ricky Dale down to one knee! Cornell hits the ropes, but we'll never know what he was going for, as RDJ catches him with the Uranage Slam! Ricky Dale drapes the arm..

1...

2...

No! No, Cornell kicks out! Even Azaria has to give Cornell some props for this - he kicks out, after a devastating Uranage Slam! It's at this point that now RDJ seems to be wondering what he has to do to put away his long-time nemesis! He decides to take a risk, lifting him up in Suplex position, to get him onto the top rope, attempting a Superplex - but Cornell struggles vailiantly! He tries to get over Tommy over once..no cigar. He tries a second time..and still doesn't get him. After the third attempt, Cornell catches RDJ with a European Uppercut - sending the dazed Ricky Dale flying off the top! Cornell waits for RDJ to stand - then sends him back onto his back with the Three Inch Shrink! Cornell shoots back up, with a determined leer, pulling Ricky Dale Johnson back up to his feet, before setting him up for, and nailing him with, the Rough Ride! But in what could very well cost him dearly, Cornell does not go for the pin - instead, he pulls Ricky Dale back up to his feet, and locks him into the Guilt Trip! And it's shades of Psycho Circus, as Ricky Dale is kept in the brutal hold for well over a minute here! He seems to fade over about 50 seconds in the hold, and Cornell immediately asks IE Referee Koruba to check the arm, and he does so..

He lifts it once..

He lifts it twice..

..NO! Ricky Dale gets the arm up! Cornell looks shocked, and the fans are on their feet, as Ricky Dale refuses to die! Using all the might he has in his left arm - the only free one - he shoves at the mat, causing him and Cornell to both roll to their sides! This gives Ricky Dale the chance to crawl towards the ropes! He inches closer and closer, every second feeling like an eternity..until he finally grabs the bottom rope! Tommy Cornell looks absolutely stunned! He almost loses by DQ, as he doesn't notice the ref's count until he gets all the way to 4 - Cornell begrudgingly letting RDJ go! He then pulls Ricky Dale away from the ropes, and goes for the cover, trying to capitolize on the Rough Ride attempt he did not pin on earlier..1...2..NO! Once again, a look of near fright comes across the face of Tommy Cornell! But he changes that expression to one of anger as he gets to his feet, and proceeds to drag Ricky Dale to his! He goes for a second Rough Ride - only for RDJ to slip out behind Cornell at the last possible second! The dazed Ricky Dale stumbles back a few steps, as Cornell turns around. Cornell goes for a clothesline, but Ricky Dale ducks it, and hits the ropes! Cornell turns to face him - and gets caught with a Running Double Leg Trip, which Ricky Dale follows up upon with a Jacknife Cover!

1...

2...

3!!!

He gets it! He gets it! He gets the win, off the flash pin! Cornell looks shocked, and the roof of the arena is nearly blown off by the reception!

Ricky Dale Johnson wins, via pinfall, after a Jacknife Cover, at 18:29

Azaria: Ricky Dale wins! Ricky Dale wins!

Vibert: My Lord, what a match! What a contest!

Azaria: And what arrogance, on the part of Tommy Cornell! He could've gotten the win after that Rough Ride, but instead decided to rub it in a little more, and make him tap out instead!

Vibert: Indeed, Jason, and that cost him there, for damned sure! Ricky Dale sneaks out a victory, after this long, grueling match!

Azaria: I'm sure our TCW World Heavyweight Champion will have something to say about the way this match ended, but folks, signing off from this weeks Total Wrestling, I'm Jason Azaria -

Vibert: - I'm Phil Vibert -

Azaria: - and we will see you, next week!

great show and your ratings are really high now, must be the storylines

Im looking forward to Bach/Powell and the main event was amazing but the best part of the show, imo was Hawkins and marquez

Hawkins doing 2 of cornell's finishers to end the match is auto win

He sees him as a father figure as well as a mentor in my dynasty, so it's only natural he would try and use some of his moves every now and then. He actually attempted the Rough Ride in his first match of the diary.

I attribute the ratings boost to TCW going International, by the way.

I'm glad you like the Bach/Powell/Killer angle, because as of right now, it's going to be a long one. I've got a good deal planned for it..

March 2nd, 2008 Total Wrestling show notes:

- Steve Flash's black and blue bandana is a custom..not that it looks like much to brag about in that size. The full size version looks a lot better..and so does the PNG version. I swear, that pic was blurred more then any other JPEG I've ever done in PhotoFiltre..still, I guess it looks alright, considering the fact that I am still at the most basic of basic editing skill levels. My other pic edits include such grueling works as Acid's nose paint being turned green, Ino given multiple facepaint color alts, and the absolute masterpeices of Karen Killer and Sammy Bach's eyes being turned to a sky blue..still not sure why I did that, I guess because the red I tried to do for Bach didn't turn out right..

- Again, very sorry for the delay, but hey the internet up and blinked out for a while..what can you do?

- And again, thanks very much to the 14 of you that voted for TCW: Total Control to become co-CornellVerse Diary Of The Month, for September 2009! And in my first month of eligibility, a pretty good omen for this dynasties future, if I may say so myself..

Brought to you LIVE, from the War Memorial Auditorium, and on The Pop! Network!

KoRn's "Twisted Transistor" plays, as TCW Underground's intro fades in, showing clips of all sorts of differant TCW matches and wrestlers, albeit with a good few more Lower Carders in it then with TCW Total Wrestling's, to keep the video from being false advertising..eventually, the clips crack, then shatter, to reveal the 2,000 fans at the War Memorial Auditorium! They likely don't expect a PPV-level show, but they still seem more then excited for tonight, and in the booth, is former interviewer Shawn Doakes, and the former Total Wrestling announcer, Kyle Rhodes!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/ShawnDoakes.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/KyleRhodes.jpg

Shawn Doakes: Good evening, Total Wrestling fans, and welcome to the inaugural edition of TCW Underground - Total Championship Wrestling's newest television show! My name is Shawn Doakes, and sitting next to me, is none other then Kyle Rhodes! Kyle?

Kyle Rhodes: Hello there, Jason, glad to be back on TCW programming. It's only been a few weeks since I was replaced, but it feels like an eternity.

Doakes: Eager to get free front row seats to wrestling matches again, eh?

Rhodes: Exactly.

Doakes: Well folks, we've got a very promising night in store for you, but first things first, we have three new wrestlers making their debuts, and Kyle, from what I understand, the three are all "Indy Darlings", as some put, and they all also wear masks..bit of an odd coincidence, there.

Rhodes: Well it's not a coincidence for the first two - two of them make up our newest tag team, and they go by the name of Masked Mayhem. Making up that team are two high fliers, who are well known in the Coastal area - Black Eagle, and Snap Dragon. And the third wrestler, entering the singles division, is also well known on the Coast, as well as having gained a following in Mexico - he's wrestled as Blue Sky in the past, but has more recently been known as Ultimate Pheonix - he's changed name again, albeit it only slightly, upon his entry in TCW - he will now be wrestling, as Ultimo Pheonix.

Doakes: You sure know your indies, Kyle!

Rhodes: My specialty.

Doakes: And we also have the "Remarkable" Steve Flash in action, against JD Morgan, The New Age Party Crashers taking on Giant Tana and Danny Fonzarelli, and in our main event tonight, we have Wolf Hawkins going one-on-one with the ever-dangerous Acid! Let's get this party started!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/BlackEagle.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SnapDragon.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SamuelCannon.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/AaronAndrews.jpg

vs.

These four fliers work hard to make the match exciting, but the fans weren't really into it throughout most of the 7 minutes of the back-and-forth action. They did pop pretty hugely however, when Andrews and Cannon hit Stereo Suicide Dives on both of their opponents on the outside. At one point, after quite a bit of damage, Samuel Cannon gets to Andrews for the hot tag. Andrews puts together a string of moves on Dragon, but his momentum is cut off when he gets a little too close to the Masked Mayhem corner, as Black Eagle grabs him by the hair, causing him to fall backwards. This dirty little move actually garners some heat for Eagle, as he follows it up with a Spin Kick to the head of the downed Andrews, from the apron! This gives Snap Dragon the chance to tag out, and as soon as he does, the illegal Dragon follows that up with a Low Dropkick to Cannon, who was laying on the apron, recovering! Andrews' partner taken out, Eagle slingshots himself into the ring for the New Jersey Turnpike! This scores the win for Masked Mayhem, making their debut a success - albeit in rather shady fashion.

Masked Mayhem win, via pinfall, after Black Eagle hit Aaron Andrews with the New Jersey Turnpike, at 7:57

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_dplus.jpg

Doakes: I don't particularly like the use of the hair in that match Rhodes, but I must say, Masked Mayhem was very impressive in their debut match!

Rhodes: Well, it got the job done, Shawn..a very exciting match either way, a nice beggining to TCW Underground.

Doakes: Agreed, Kyle. In any case, we now take you to the always lovely Jasmine Saunders!

Backstage Segment

Cut to the back, to see the ever-cheery Jasmine Saunders.

Jasmine Saunders: Thank you, Shawn, and ladies and gentlemen please give a warm welcome to my guests at this time, Freddy and Laura Huggins!

The screen pans to reveal the two siblings. Freddy as always is grinning ear-to-ear, as his sister Laura stands behind him, looking rather apathetic.

Freddy Huggins: Thank you, sug! And hello to all my fellow huggers - I'm sure that all of your days have just been brightened, because here is your hero, your role model, your king, and..dare I say it - your idol! That's right - it's your favorite wrestler, and mine, the one, the only..Freddy Huggins! And tonight, I shall face some over-rated flippy floppy high flier! Well as all of my All-Action title reigns could tell you, facing over-rated flippy floppy high fliers is pretty much my MO! I do it better then anybody else, and tonight, I shall beat the living hell out of "Ultimo Pheonix" - whatever the hell that name means! I'm going to go out there in front of all of my acolytes, and put on the greatest show anyone has ever seen, just like always! Haha!

Freddy walks away from the mic, and just sorta strides around in the background for a bit, seemingly in his own little world..Laura is not at all amused however, as she grabs the mic from Saunders.

Laura Huggins: You listen to me, Jasmine - my brother is a 3-time All-Action Champion, and it is incredibly unfair that he has relegated to working on a lower show such as this! He should have been main eventing The War To Settle The Score last month, he should be facing Tommy Cornell for the TCW World Heavyweight Championship! Instead, he's supposed to be Ultimo Pheonix's welcome mat?! This is completely unfair, he should not be treated this way! But after tonight, it's all going to change! Once Freddy demolishes Ultimo Pheonix, the TCW Total Board will have no choice but to notice him! And I promise, by the next Pay-Per-View, Total Madness, Freddy Huggins name will be on the card! Let's go, Freddy.

Laura makes her leave, grabbing Freddy by the arm as she goes. Freddy continues smiling cheerily, making a "call me" gesture to Jasmine Saunders as he's pulled off-screen..

Freddy Huggins has an interview backstage, alongside his sister, Laura. He cuts his usual delusional promo, and he and Laura both claim that Ultimo Pheonix will be destroyed tonight. Laura also makes the claim that her brother has been severely overlooked, and that by the time Total Madness comes around, he will definately be on the card.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_c.jpg

Doakes: Some rather stern words from Laura Huggins.

Rhodes: She seems to think there's some sort on conspiracy here..

Doakes: You know, Freddy Huggins is a very talented young man - he is, after all, a three-time All-Action Champion, as she said - but main eventing a Pay-Per-View? Challenging for the World Heavyweight Title? Freddy Huggins isn't quite on that level yet..

Rhodes: No kidding. It may be quite a few years before Huggins gets to those peaks. In any case, coming up next, we've got a fine match in store for you - as Steve Flash takes on JD Morgan.

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SteveFlash.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JDMorgan.jpg
Steve Flash vs.

Steve Flash gets a nice reception, despite his loss last Tuesday. It's clear the Total Faithful have a lot of respect for him. This match however, was not a good as expected from these two. JD Morgan didn't seem to have his working boots on tonight, perhaps working on the B Show lowering his motivation. It's still a decent match however, which Flash controls for about 60% of the time. JD Morgan's main offense comes once he Drop Toe Holds Flash into the second turnbuckle, and then goes to an opposite corner, to unhook the top turnbuckle padding. Referee Ray Johnson sees this, and abmonishes him for a bit, before going to re-lace the padding. Morgan uses this distraction to pull a chair out from under the ring! He dashes at Flash, trying for a running Chair Shot, but the veteran Flash ducks it - and ends up behind him, in perfect position for the Flash Bang! Flash nails, and covers, for the victory!

Steve Flash wins, via pinfall, after a Flash Bang, at 8:52

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_dplus.jpg

Doakes: And Steve Flash, with the victory!

Rhodes: The first of what I predict to be many TCW wins for the legendary Flash.

Doakes: Indeed, Flash is incredibly talented, and is incredibly respected by the Total Audiance!

Rhodes: The Total Audiance? Steve Flash is respected all around the world, Shawn..

Doakes: You're not wrong, Kyle - and now, once again, we take you to the beautiful Jasmine Saunders!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JasmineSaunders.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/AntonioMarquez.jpg
Backstage Segment

Cut to see Saunders again.

Jasmine Saunders: Thanks again, Shawn, and ladies and gentlemen at this time, I'd like to introduce one of the hottest young prospects in all of wrestling, "The Mexican Machine Gun", Antonio Marquez! Antonio?

The screen pans to show him, and there is a decent pop in the background.

Antonio Marquez: Thanks, Jas..you think I'm hot, huh? You don't look too bad yourself..

Saunders: Heh, thanks..but seriously, Antonio. Just a few days, you came very close to defeating the now former International Champion, Wolf Hawkins. You definately gave him a scare, dominating him for the first few minutes..but it doesn't appear as though you've gained his respect yet..

Marquez: Not it does not. And I have accepted the fact that the only way to get his respect is to beat his ass in the middle of the ring. Rest assured, "The Mexican Machine Gun" plans to do just that, sooner, rather then later.

Saunders: But all the same, you've already managed some accolades, nearly beating the likes of Rick Law, Wolf Hawkins on two occassions, and one-half of the current Tag Team Champions, Joey Minnesota. And your great performances so far have inspired Phil Vibert to pick you as a future World Heavyweight Champion.

Marquez: That's very kind of him, Jasmine - but I won't set my sights too high. Just know that my first TCW victory is coming up very soon, and once I get it, I fully plan on starting a winning streak - if only to please all of the adoring fans who've taken to me so quickly.

Saunders: They do indeed adore you already, Antonio, but I've heard a lot of rumors that the wrestlers in the back have not yet gained your respect. Many remember when you first appeared, answering the Laying Down The Law Challenge, a little less then a month ago - stating that your main reason for being in TCW was to wipe away the stigma that your popularity in wrestling was only gained because of your TV star-status..some don't think you've wiped that away, quite yet.

Marquez: Yeah, I've heard that too. Strangely enough, though, no one has yet to say any of that to my face. So let me put out a challenge of my own - anyone that thinks I don't deserve my popularity, can meet me in the ring, next Tuesday! I'll show anybody on the roster, just how legit, I really am.

Saunders: Well good luck in the future, Antonio, and I hope to see you again.

Marquez: Thank you Jas, and I hope to see you quite a few more times, hot stuff..

Marquez winks, as he backs away, leaving Saunders giggling a bit as the screen fades.

Antonio Marquez has an interview backstage. He talks about his career so far, until Jasmine Saunders points out that many in the back still think his popularity only stems from his Soap Opera days. He lets the locker room know, that anyone that doesn't think he's legit can face him in the ring this Tuesday.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cplus.jpg

Doakes: Hmm, looks like Marquez may be gaining some enemies in the back..

Rhodes: Gaining enemies is a big part of raising your stock in wrestling, Shawn.

Doakes: That's a pretty good point, Kyle! But in any case, up next we have the debut of Ultimo Pheonix, taking on the "Teen Idol", Freddy Huggins, right after this commercial break!

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/FreddyHuggins.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/UltimoPheonix.jpg

vs. Ultimo Pheonix

Ultimo Pheonix has a pretty special entrance, as the lights darken, Metallica's "Battery" hits, and he's looking almost like a superhero, as he is slowly elevated from under the stage, surrounded by smoke, with a black and sky blue cape around him. He discards it, and walks down the increasingly smokey ramp - his entrance somewhat resembling that of Enygma's. He walks at a regular pace, until at one point he dissapears into the smoke. He dashes through it, and continues dashing until he makes his way into the ring. Sublime's "Seed" hits, and Freddy Huggins comes out to noticeably less fanfare.

Like the first match, this one wasn't a bad one - solid story of Pheonix being near-unstoppable, with Huggins only being able to take the advantage with cheating tactics. Both men get the crowd a little more into it with some big spots, most of them of course coming from Pheonix. The biggest move of the match comes when Pheonix backflips off the top rope, to nail Huggins with a huge Flying Reverse DDT! Pheonix covers, but Laura Huggins is up on the apron before the pin, distracting Referee Sam Sparrow! Pheonix keeps Freddy pinned for about 10 seconds, then gets up to bicker to Laura. Pheonix gets in front of Sparrow to argue to her, and Laura decides to shove Pheonix into Sparrow! Sparrow gets knocked onto his back, and Pheonix stands right back up to get in Laura's face - only to receive a stiff low blow! Sparrow gets back up quickly, but is just short of seeing the blow! Pheonix is doubled over, stumbling towards Freddy Huggins, just as he gets up to a knee - and the multiple time All-Action Champion jumps up to catch Pheonix with a move that Doakes dubs the "Hug Goodbye"! (Zig Zag) Freddy covers Pheonix - and gets the victory!

Freddy Huggins wins, via pinfall, after Laura low blowed Phoenix, allowing him to hit the Hug Goodbye, at 7:50

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_d.jpg

Doakes: Well, Huggins gets the win - but I don't know why exactly he feels so proud of it!

Rhodes: I probably wouldn't be acting like I won the Super Bowl either, Shawn. But a wins a win.

Doakes: I guess, so, Kyle..but in any case, a fine match before that happened, and Ultimo Pheonix with a great performance tonight.

Rhodes: Great performance, indeed, and now we shall take you to the gorgeous Jasmine Saunders.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JasmineSaunders.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EddStone.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TexasPete.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/ShaneSneer.jpg
Backstage Segment

Cut to the back once again, to see the ever-smiling Jasmine Saunders.

Jasmine Saunders: Thank you Kyle, and ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you t-

Suddenly, Saunders is interupted, by Edd Stone, who barages on-screen, slinging an arm around the pretty young interviewer. He's got his typical grin, as the screen pans to show his tag partner Texas Pete, and his manager, Shane Sneer.

Edd Stone: Hey there, darlin'! You know something, it's your lucky day, Jasmine! Me and Pete drew some straws over who would be working you over, tonight, and as usual - I'm the one that got lucky! Haha!

Saunders: Yes, well..good for you..

Saunders does not look too interested in Stone, trying to jerk away, but Stone keeps her in close.

Stone: No, no, it's good for you, darlin'! After I take down Tana and Fonzarelli tonight, I'ma do the same to you, and show you who the real doctor of love is..

Saunders: Right..can't wait..

Saunders attempts to appear as uninstered as possible, again jerking away, but Edd doesn't seem to be getting the hint.

Saunders: Look, can we please focus on the match? I mean, you're going up against a former International Champion, and one multiple-time Tag Champion, surely you don't think it'll be an easy-

Texas Pete: ..New Age!

Pete's shouted interuption causes Saunders to shoot a glare over to Pete, in time to see him him down a bottle of JD. Stone uses this oppurtunity to bend back a bit, checking her out, and, as if unable to resist, suddenly spanks the young interviewer, causing her to jump!

Saunders: Ahh! Oh, for God's sakes, are you serious?! You know what, here, just take it! Ugh!

Saunders shoves the mic into Stone's chest, and storms off, clearly outraged. Stone "watches her leave", before giving Pete a little backhand to the stomach, looking peeved all of a sudden.

Stone: Nice going, Whiskey Dick! There's another chick you've scared off! Tch!

Stone rolls his eyes, and walks off screen, as Pete responds by staring blankly for a few seconds, before taking another swig, seemingly oblivious. Shane Sneer facepalms all-the-while, as the screen fades..

The New Age Party Crashers are backstage for an interview..but Edd Stone decides to spend the entire interview hitting on Jasmine Saunders instead of focusing on their upcoming match. He goes as far as spanking her, causing her to storm off, clearly offended. In hindsight, this is probably why all of the rest of NAPC's promo's so far have been without an interviewer..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cminus.jpg

Doakes: ...Uh..

Rhodes: Nothing to say to that, eh Shawn?

Doakes: Not especially.

Rhodes: Same here.

Doakes: In any case, the New Age Party Crashers will be taking on Giant Tana and Danny Fonzarelli, right after this commercial break!

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EddStone.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TexasPete.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/GiantTana.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/DannyFonzarelli.jpg

The New Age Party Crashers vs. Danny Fonzarelli and

Fonzarelli and Tana, as an unregular team, come out seperately, to their admittedly awesome singles themes - "Magic Man" by Heart, and Alien Ant Farm's cover of "Smooth Criminal", respectively. The fans give some pretty good receptions to them both, which is a bit surprising, given that neither of them have been on TV since December. This match is decent, but again, one might get the feeling that the motivation is off a tad. Fonzarelli in particular, has not been very happy with being off-screen, which may have come into play. The match was back and forth, with the faces controling the majority of it. The end came when Stone slapped the illegal Fonzarelli, causing him to enter the ring in a rage, with Referee Ray Johnson quickly going over to him, trying to calm him down. During the distraction, Giant Tana was able to string together some offense, only to be tripped up by Shane Sneer after hitting the ropes. Tana stumbles forward, right into the Party's Over, and is then pinned, and defeated.

The New Age Party Crashers win, via pinfall, after Edd Stone hit Giant Tana with the Party's Over, thanks to some interferance from Shane Sneer, at 7:57

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_dplus.jpg

Doakes: Boy, there sure does seem to be a lot of foul play tonight, Kyle!

Rhodes: Indeed there does, Shawn, and I think that may have something to do with the level of competitiveness being raised here on TCW Underground. Remember, a lot of these wrestlers called for this type of show, to be better presented, and now that they have the chance, they're going to do whatever they can to cash in on it, and a gain a Nationally Televised win.

Doakes: You know, you may be right, Kyle. But you know what, up next, in our Maaaaaaaaaaaain Event, are two men who have no problems whatsoever with getting on TV!

Rhodes: Not at all, Shawn - Wolf Hawkins, the former International Champion, going one-on-one with the always vicious Acid.

Doakes: This one's sure to excite, folks - and it is up next, right after our final commercial break!

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/WolfHawkins1.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/Acid.jpg

vs. Acid

We come back to hear The Gorillaz' "Clint Eastwood", and the fans give a heinous reaction, as out comes the ever-arrogant Wolf Hawkins, saundering out with a very apparant swagger. He offers a high five to a little kid at ringside, only to pull away at the last second, taunting him and laughing, as he climbs onto the apron, and does his usual entrance of walking all the way across it while scanning the crowd quizically, as if asking "What are you booing me for?", before going up to the top rope, and doing the once beloved Youth Gone Wild pose. He jumps into the ring, as the lights go green, and the fans give a hearty response. "Ugly" by The Exies hits, and Acid comes out, introducing his new entrance of green sparks falling onto the stage. He treads through them, and doesn't interact much with the fans - although the little boy from before is able to pat him on the shoulder without any resistance, as he's perhaps slowly warming up to being a fan favorite. He jumps onto the apron, and flips into the ring, standing sqaure up to Wolf Hawkins, looking as feirce as he always does.

The bell rings, and this match is very much an exciter. Acid and Hawkins don't have the percieved lack of motivation that the others might have had, and end up putting on a Prime Time level match. The match starts out pretty back and forth, with Hawkins somewhat underestimating Acid every time he gains control. This continues, until at one point, Hawkins goes as far as presenting his face, allowing Acid to take a shot at him - Acid responds to this with a Roundhouse Kick right to the side of the head! Acid covers the newly dazed Hawkins, but only earns a 2 count. Acid keeps control for a bit, getting the pop of the night on a big Missle Dropkick, that scores another nearfall. Hawkins keeps on the defensive, until he blocks a Back Suplex, getting back to his feet, and hooking Acid in Bulldog position, only to catch him with a stiff Knee Lift! Acid, dazed, stays on his feet, only to be taken down with a lighting quick Super Kick! Hawkins covers by nonchalantly laying back-first on top of Acid, obviously quite confident in his victory - but Acid kicks out! Shocked, Hawkins goes for another cover, but again, he is only able to get a nearfall!

While shocked, Hawkins is able to keep control of the match, and at one point adds another highlight to his ever-growing reel, with a Springboard Rolling Wheel Kick, that just about knocks Acid's head off! But Acid shows a lot of heart in kicking out, yet again! After this, Hawkins' frustration raises, and he decides to go for a Superplex! But in mid-air, Acid is able to slip out behind Hawkins after the attempt! They both land on their feet, and Acid shoves Hawkins right into the corner - causing Hawkins to bounce back off impact, directly into a German Suplex! Acid bridges, but Hawkins kicks out! Acid continues the attack, but makes a fatal mistake when, at one point, he tries to incapacitate Hawkins with a spit of his acid, only for Hawkins to duck, leaving Referee Sam Sparrow to take the poisonous mist! Sparrow goes down in agony, and Hawkins takes control for a bit. As the referee remains down, they go back and forth, but at one point, Acid tries to set up Hawkins for a Powerbomb, which Hawkins blocks with a Low Blow! Acid doubled over, Hawkins is easily able to catch him with a Sunset Flip - just as Referee Ray Johnson runs down the ramp! 1..2..3! Hawkins gets it!

Wolf Hawkins wins, via pinfall, after hitting a Low Blow and following it up with a Sunset Flip, at 10:02

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bminus.jpg

Doakes: And yet another shady victory!

Rhodes: I must admit, even I don't like this - by no means does Hawkins need to take that route to win matches, and yet he does it anyway, just to make things easier for him.

Doakes: Yeah, and..oh now what's he doing?!

Acid's sting of bad luck this week continues, as for the second time this week, he gets attacked after his loss! Hawkins stomps down on Acid, before pulling him up - and nailing him with the New Moon Rising!

Hawkins hams it up for the crowd, before calling for a microphone!

Wolf Hawkins: This, this right here, is absolute crap! I am Wolf Hawkins! I am the future of this industry, personified! I am the protege` of Tommy Cornell, the best in the world today! And they book me on this show?! A show meant to present the most obscure parts of our roster?! Let me tell you something right now - there is not a damned thing about Wolf Hawkins, that is obscure! I should be on Prime Time TV, and Prime Time TV only!

The fans jeer Wolf's arrogant tirade, causing him to pause for a moment.

Hawkins: And furthermore, the Total Board has a hell of a lot of nerve, booking me against that mist-spitting freak, Acid, just days before I face the International Champion, Brent Hill!

The crowd cheers at the mention of the whitehot Hill, causing Hawkins to give a scowl that would make Cornell proud.

Hawkins: Well you know what, right now, I'm going to teach those jerkoffs at the Total Board what happens when you mess with Wolf Hawkins! After tonight, I'm going to make sure that they will never disrespect me again!

With that, Hawkins throws the mic out of the ring, and pulls Acid back up, by the mask! Hawkins hits the ropes - and nails a second New Moon Rising! And it doesn't look like he's finished yet, as he goes to the outside, to retrieve a Steel Chair!

Hawkins bangs the chair upon the mat a few times, screaming for Acid to get up, as the fans boo every bit of this..

...but the jeers turn to cheers, when Brent Hill runs in, in street clothes!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/BrentHill.jpg

Hawkins is stunned at the sight of Hill, and ends up getting tackled by the current TCW International Champion! Hill sends down a few punches onto Hawkins, then pulls him up, and tries for the Revenge Tour '08 Double Underhook Facebuster! But Hawkins counters with a Back Body Drop, and quickly makes his way to ringside!

The fans jeer, as Hawkins smiles deviously, obviously proud of his escape..but that smile turns to pain, when Brent Hill catches him with a Plancha!

Hill stands, and holds the TCW International Title over the downed Hawkins, as the fans cheer, and "Faint" by Linkin Park hits, and the screen fades!

Post-match, Acid is once again attacked, this time by Wolf Hawkins. Hawkins gets on the mic, and complains about being booked, both on the B show, and just days before his match with Brent Hill. Hawkins continues the assault, but Acid is saved once again, this time by Brent Hill! Hill is unable to hit the Revenge Tour '08, but he does score with a Plancha to the outside, to end the segment, and the show!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bminus.jpg

Doakes: Wow! Brent Hill with the save, and a message sent to the No.1 Contender!

Rhodes: Shawn, even I'm excited for this one - Wolf Hawkins and Brent Hill tore the house down at The War To Settle The Score, and the main event this Tuesday should be no differant!

Doakes: Indeed it should! It was a match of the year candidate, and we may have another in store for you, wrestling fans! Until then, signing off from the great, inaugural edition of TCW Underground, I'm Shawn Doakes -

Rhodes: - I'm Kyle Rhodes -

Doakes: - And we shall see you, next Thursday!

Gregory McKay

Good evening, wrestling fans! With the inaugurial edition of TCW Underground in the record books, (If you missed it, don't fret - you can view it on the TCW.com Video Vault right here) we move on to tomarrow night's TCW Total Wrestling! And in our main event, it's finally here! It's been built up all week, Brent Hill vs. Wolf Hawkins for the TCW International Championship! Last Tuesday, Wolf Hawkins decided to send Hill a message by attacking Antonio Marquez after defeating him. But when Hawkins attempted to do the same to Acid in the main event of the first TCW Underground Episode, the International Champion ended up making the save for Acid, and while he wasn't able to hit his very impressive new finisher, the Revenge Tour '08, on Tommy Cornell's protege`, he was still able to catch him with a plancha that pleased the audiance! Things have been personal between these two since Hill was kicked out of The Syndicate last month - as it has been with Hill and every other member of The Syndicate. Hawkins was heavily involved in that brutal beating, as he not only nailed the initial New Moon Rising that began it, but he also was the one that delivered the chair shot that busted him open! While the story that many are telling in anticipation to this match is how it's a rematch from their show stealer at The War To Settle The Score, you'd better beleive that the bitter rivalrly between Hill and The Syndicate are what's going through both of these two mens minds right now!

Speaking of championships, The TCW Tag Team Champions, Danger and Violence will be competing tomarrow, in a non-title match with the quickly rising team of The New Age Party Crashers, Edd Stone and Texas Pete! So far, the only team to have beaten the NAPC are the current No.1 Contender's, The New Wave! How D&V fare against them may be something of a sign as to how they will fare in their title defense at Total Madness! As well as this, it seems the challenge that Antonio Marquez made on TCW Underground, asking anyone that disrespects him to step into the ring against him on TCW Total Wrestling, has been answered - the expert technician, JD Morgan steps up to challenge Marquez! This match is likely to be pretty personal - after all, shaking off the idea that his former Soap Opera was the only reason for his success was the main catalyst for him moving to TCW in the first place! Can Antonio Marquez seal his first TCW victory, and earn some respect in the locker room, once and for all?

As well as this, the undefeated Koshiro Ino is in action, and so is the demonic Tyson Baine, who will be taking on Joel Bryant, in what looks like an interesting, if somewhat odd, match-up! Apparantly, Bryant himself actually requested this match! Everyone knows that the Tag Team Specialists are always respect-hungry, and this seems like just another occassion in a very long line for Bryant, in which he tries to insert himself into the Main Event - just another occassion, in which Bryant looks to earn his respect! But has he bit off more then he can chew? Tyson Baine is always an incredibly dangerous competitor, and lately, in challenging Tommy Cornell, he has looked more bloodthirsty so far this year, then anybody else! So it makes this web anaylst wonder if the veteran "Straight Shooter" may be just a tad over his head on this one..we will also have yet another installment of the Laying Down The Law Challenge! Reportedly, Rick Law's back problems, which surfaced in a match with Genghis Rahn a couple weeks back, only continue to bother him going into this match! Whoever answers the call this week, may have a serious target to go after..

And we also have the hot upstart, Teddy Powell in action tonight, but he's got one hell of a roadblock in front of him if he wants to continue his winning ways, as he takes on the veteran Eric Tyler, still currently embroiled in a feud with Genghis Rahn! Many other TCW Anaylsts have been asking Tyler if his answer to Rahn's hardcore match challenge has changed in the past week, after his attack on the last edition of Total Wrestling, but Tyler has swiftly called them off with a simple "no comment". Whether or not Tyler will face Rahn at Total Madness is the question many are asking, but for Eric Tyler's sake, I hope he isn't thinking about Rahn too much, going into his match with Teddy Powell! While still a bit banged up from that welcomed assault last week by Sammy Bach, Teddy Powell is a very tough competitor, and looking past him may very well lead to Tyler being upset. And if he won't take my word for it, then he can just ask American Buffalo..

All this great action is on tap, tomarrow night, on GNN Total Sports! TCW Total Wrestling, be there!

Tigerkinney · October 27, 2009

"The Kobra" Koshiro Ino vs. "The Proud Warrior" Clark Alexander

I am right in still thinking that Ino is still unbeaten, unbeaten or not he's not going to lose to the proud jobber.

JD Morgan vs. "The Mexican Machine Gun" Antonio Marquez

Morgan's role in a fed like TCW is put to put others over. Marquez has locked impressive in several defeats and it's about time he got a win under his belt.

TCW Tag Team Champions, Danger and Violence (Eddie Peak and Joey Minnesota) vs. The New Age Party Crashers (Edd Stone and Texas Pete w/Shane Sneer) (Non-Title)

The upset win for NAPC is not completely out of the question, but I see you opting more for keeping the tag champs looking strong.

"The Wonder" Eric Tyler vs. "Constant Motion" Teddy Powell

Outside of the All Action Division, I don't see Powell picking up much in the way of victories.

Laying Down The Law Challenge: Rick Law vs. ???

Bad Back or not I don't see Law losing one of these challenges just yet. Has Giant Tana stepped up to the plate yet ?

"The Straight Shooter" Joel Bryant vs. Tyson Baine

Glorified/extended squash to keep the monster strong.

"The Kobra" Koshiro Ino vs. "The Proud Warrior" Clark Alexander

I agree 100% with what Tigerkinney said and I laughed when I read the proud jobber line.

JD Morgan vs. "The Mexican Machine Gun" Antonio Marquez

JD never seems to get any love on this board and I really do not see it ending with this match.

TCW Total Wrestling

Brought to you LIVE, from the Illinois State Park, and on GNN Total Sports!

Angry Chair by Alice In Chains, the opening theme of TCW Total Wrestling, hits, as highlights of the best moments of Total Wrestling's history race by the screen. It eventually all cracks and breaks, to show the crowd at the Illinois State Park! They're going wild with anticipation, as our announcers Jason Azaria and Phil Vibert hype up the show!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JasonAzaria.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/PhilVibert.jpg

Jason Azaria: 15,000 screaming members of the Total Faithful are in attendance tonight, for what promises to be yet another great edition, of TCW Total Wrestling! I'm Jason Azaria -

Phil Vibert: - I'm Phil Vibert -

Azaria: - and Phil, what a night we have in store tonight!

Vibert: What a night indeed, and first and foremost, our main event - the most highly anticipated TCW International Title rematch, since Ricky Dale Johnson vs. Bryan Vessey takes place tonight! Wolf Hawkins vs. Brent Hill! They had an absolutely stunning, show stealing match at The War To Settle The Score last month, and the rematch clause is cashed in upon tonight! Let's see if they can out-do themselves!

Azaria: And that's not all - we've also got our TCW Tag Team Champions in action tonight, in a non-title match against a very promising young tandem! Danger and Violence take on The New Age Party Crashers, Texas Pete and Edd Stone!

Vibert: And it seems the challenge that Antonio Marquez issued last Thursday, on the inaugural edition of TCW Underground, against anyone who didn't respect him as a legit competitor, has been answered - JD Morgan steps up, looking to put Marquez to the test!

Azaria: We've also got the 10th Installment of the Laying Down The Law Challenge, the ninth TCW match of the undefeated Koshiro Ino, and more! Let's not waste any more time!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/KoshiroIno.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/ClarkAlexander.jpg

Koshiro Ino vs. Clark Alexander

"Calm Like A Bomb" by Rage Against The Machine, as it has several times in recent weeks, opens the show, and out comes Koshiro Ino to thunderous applause. His stiff, yet crisp style and undefeated streak, mixed with the fact that he's both red-hot, and fresh as a daisy on the TCW roster, adds up to him already being one of the most popular wrestlers in TCW. This is shown not only by the reaction, but a few signs sporting his record (8-0) as well. He does his typical entrance in the ring, humbly bowing to the crowd, before the Nirvana classic, "Heart Shaped Box" hits, and out comes Clark Alexander. The reaction for Alexander is okay, but his time off-screen has caused his popularity to wane. Vibert notes that Alexander has not been seen in recent weeks, and Azaria responds to that by claiming that Alexander's likely happy to see TCW Underground come about, and notes that Clark Alexander will indeed be wrestling on it's second episode, later this week. Alexander doesn't have much of an entrance, although he does do a fist pump in the middle of the ring, to show his warrior pride. The two respectful wrestlers shake hands in the middle of the ring to a pretty good pop, before this ones gets started.

Clark Alexander looks pretty strong in the opening minutes, swiftly tackling Ino down, working him over with some kicks, before trying to lock in a Crossface early. Ino is able to flip out of this attempt without too much worry, however, and is able to get on his feet, still held onto Alexander's arm. Ino tries to take control with a Short Arm Clothesline, but Alexander ducks, and goes for a Back Suplex, only for Ino to wriggle out and land behind Alexander - and Ino proceeds to law Alexander out with a clothesline to the back of the head! Ino earns a nearfall after this stiff shot, and keeps the momentum for a couple of minutes after this, trying to use his Puro-style Stiff Kicks to keep Alexander down. At one point during this period of control, Ino shows size-defying atheliticism with a crisp looking Hellfire Kick, catching Alexander right in the temple with the flipping kick! However, the wrestler formerly known as Ice Man C.A. shows his endurance in kicking out.

Alexander takes a good bit of abuse for awhile, before reversing an Irish Whip attempt, and following up on it with a Back Body Drop. Alexander follows up on this with a few Suplex variations, before going for his Hawiian Breaker DDT finisher, but Ino is able to counter with a Northern Lights Suplex, scoring a 2 off of it. After this nearfall, Ino waits for Alexander to get to his feet, and when he does, Ino goes for his stiff Puro Roundhouse Kick to the temple, but Alexander ducks it - and takes Ino down with a Running Bulldog! From here, Alexander is able to lock Ino into the Crossface submission, and Ino looks to be in trouble, flailing on the mat! He stays in the hold for about 15 seconds, before lunging forward, grabbing the ropes! Alexander releases, and pulls Ino up to his feet - only for Ino to shove him away, and nail him with the Roundhouse Kick this time! Alexander starts to fall, but Ino catches him before he even gets to a knee - and drives him into the mat with the Kobra's Bite! Ino covers - for the victory!

Koshiro Ino wins, via pinfall, after hitting the Kobra's Bite, at 7:41

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cminus.jpg

Azaria: And another impressive win for the rising Koshiro Ino, 9-0 now!

Vibert: I knew I saw something special in Koshiro Ino when I first saw him, and he's been proving me right ever since he debuted here!

Azaria: He's earned a lot of respect as a dominant performer in his few months here, Phil - and coming up, we've got a man who's been fighting for respect since he got here!

Vibert: Indeed we do, Jason - "The Mexican Machine Gun" Antonio Marquez takes on JD Morgan, who is supposedly one of the boys in the back who have been ragging on Antonio Marquez, one of the boys who seems to beleive that the only reason he ever got popular was because of his Soap Opera days! Marquez fights for respect, coming up next - but before that, let's bring to the lovely Jasmine Saunders!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JasmineSaunders.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/AntonioMarquez.jpg
Backstage Segment

We cut to the back for the first time tonight, to see the always cheery Jasmine Saunders.

Jasmine Saunders: Thank you, Phil! Ladies and gentlemen at this time, I'd like to introduce to you, "The Mexican Machine Gun" Antonio Marquez!

Cheers can heard in the background, as the screen pans to show Marquez, who's hopping side-to-side a bit, clearly ready for his match coming up next. He smiles and speaks while getting ready.

Antonio Marquez: Thank you, Jasmine.

Saunders: Now, Antonio, in the past few weeks, you have indeed suffered some ridicule at the hands of some of your peers-

Marquez: All of it from behind my back, yes.

Saunders: And one of the frontrunners of that ridicule is JD Morgan - the man who's answered the challenge you put forth on the first episode of TCW Underground. So given that, would you say that this match coming up next is a personal one?

Marquez stops the hopping, and sighs a bit.

Marquez: ..Well, you know, Jasmine..I have to say, I'm a little surprised that Morgan was one of the cats mocking me. I mean, I always thought of him as a pretty respectful dude, as a good judge of character. But apparantly, I was wrong. And I have to say, Jas..that yes, this is personal for me. I came to this company with one goal in mind - to prove I'm legit. To prove I never needed TV to succeed in Professional Wrestling. You don't get by on popularity alone here - you have to climb your way up the ladder, rung-by-rung - that's what I'm here to do. And it's true, I've yet to win a match here in TCW..but you know what, Jas? JD Morgan can say the exact same thing. So I truly don't know where he, or anybody else for that matter, can try and make fun of the Mexican Machine Gun.

On that note..I have this message for Morgan. JD - if that is your real name - I want to let you know, that after tonight, you're going to have all the respect in the world for me. That's right, that's right, because once I'm done beatin' you down - Machine Gun Style - I'm gonna show the whole world your true colors, when I make you tap to the Champagne Breakfast! And don't let the name fool you - it isn't light, and it sure as hell doesn't glisten. As a matter of fact, it may very well be..your worst nightmare.

Marquez gets a slight grin on his face, as he turns to Saunders,

Marquez: See ya, doll..

And heads off-screen, likely to the Crippler Position. Saunders giggles a bit, as the screen fades..

Antonio Marquez has an interview backstage in which he states that he is surprised that JD Morgan was mocking him, as he thought him to be respectful. He lets Morgan know that he'll have all the respect in the world for him, after he makes him tap to the Champagne Breakfast.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cplus.jpg

Azaria: Some rather stiff words there from Antonio Marquez.

Vibert: Well, you know Jason, the guys got a point - JD Morgan's never won a match on TCW TV either. He really doesn't have much right to mock Marquez.

Azaria: Well that match should be a fine one, but we'll see if Antonio Marquez can pull through on his promise to make JD Morgan tap out, after this commercial break!

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/AntonioMarquez.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JDMorgan.jpg

vs.

Control Machete's "Artillería Pesada" blares as soon as we get back, and out comes Antonio Marquez to a very nice reception, sporting his usual slick black vest. Despite his ****iness, he's quickly caught on with the crowd and he plays to them during his entrance. He does his usual showing off in entering the ring, jumping up to the steps, then to the apron, in one jump. He then jumps to the bottom rope with one foot, and pushing off the turnbuckle pole with the other, in a very impressive flip over the top rope and into the ring. But all the showboating aside, he doesn't actually look too pleased, fully serious coming into this one. "Icky Thump" by the White Stripes hits afterwards, and the fans aren't very pleased to see JD Morgan come out. He sports his usual displeased scowl, likely not too happy to have heard Marquez bring up his TCW record. He ignores the crowd for the most part while going down the ramp, although at one point he threatens to back-hand a little kid at ringside. Morgan slides into the ring, and steps up to Marquez, and talks a little smack, likely continuing his disrespect..

..but as soon as the bell rings, Marquez takes Morgan up, and drives him down with an Inverted Atomic Drop, then follows up by hitting the ropes, and nailing the stunned Morgan with a Running Leg Lariat. Marquez thusly takes the immediate control, deciding to excite the crowd a bit in the beggining, with a Springboard Clothesline, and a Springboard Leg Lariat, taking it to Morgan, gaining a 2-count off of both of the two high flying manuevers. Morgan tries to take control back after a couple minutes of this, when he holds on after an Irish Whip, then pulls him in for a headbutt. But when Morgan hits the ropes, to try and capitolize he ends up getting met with a Rolling Wheel Kick, scoring another 2 count! Marquez continues to stifle all of Morgan's attempts at making a comeback, until at one point, he gets overzealous and charges Morgan, who is backed up into the ropes - and the veteran technician catches Marquez with a Back Body Drop, sending him all the way to the outside! Marquez struggles to get up, his back clearly aching, as Referee Ray Johnson starts the count. He gets up to 5, before Marquez is able to get into the ring - only for Morgan to immediately snatch him up for a Northern Lights Suplex! Morgan bridges, but Marquez narrowly kicks out!

Despite the show of durability, Marquez stays on the defensive for a bit, as Morgan works over the back of Marquez, keeping him grounded for the most part. Although, for a bit, he does take Marquez up in a Bear Hug, only to slam him back-first into opposite corners a few times. But at one point, Morgan gets tired of working him over, and attempts to defeat him with a Powerbomb - only for Marquez to counter with a Hurricarana! Morgan just barely kicks out, and steps right back up - only to be met with a Running One Legged Dropkick! And Marquez follows up with this by nailing a massive Springboard Moonsault - which Morgan just narrowly kicks out of! Marquez continues to stun JD Morgan with his heavily flashy offense - but gets caught when Morgan counters a Crossbody into a Backbreaker..then lifts him back up, and nails two more backbreakers, before mercifully letting Marquez fall to the mat! Morgan covers, heavily confident in his win, but Marquez still kicks out, to Morgan's surprise! At this point, Morgan throws his technical game out the window, instead simply stomping Marquez's back into the mat! He uses all sorts of strikes - knee drops, elbow drops, leg drops, punt kicks, but when he follows up the assault with a cover, Marquez again kicks out!

Morgan looks frustrated, but that look slowly detiriorates to a strange calm expression..before again, dissapating into a malicious grin. Morgan then pulls the young Mexican up by the hair, and sets him up in suplex position - before dropping him head-first into the mat with a Brainbuster - a move which, like the Piledriver, was for many years banned from usage in TCW! Morgan continues grinning devilishly as he pushes Marquez - who isn't moving at this point - to his back, and pins him..only for Marquez to again kick out at 2! Morgan looks on in bewilderment, before pinning again - only to get the same result! Morgan pounds the mat for a bit, before sending a few more kicks to the back of Antonio Marquez, and going for the Cross Atlantic Stretch - but Marquez is just a bit too close to the ropes, and it doesn't take much effort for the semi-concious Marquez to grab the bottom rope! Morgan's frustration building with each passing second, he pulls Marquez up by the hair again, and gives him a few choice words, before whipping him to the ropes. Morgan goes down for a Back Body Drop - and Marquez counters stunningly with a crisp Sunset Flip Powerbomb! Most would definately cover after this move, but it's not enough for Marquez - instead, he goes right up to the top rope - and nails a picture perfect Champagne Sunrise Frog Splash! Marquez shoots back up to his feet, and signals the end, with his trademark pose of putting his hand up in two "C"'s in the air, while jumping up and doing the splits, much to the fans delight! He then pulls Morgan to the middle of the ring, and locks him into the Champagne Breakfast! JD Morgan only fights it for a few seconds, before tapping out! Marquez wins it!

Antonio Marquez wins, via submission, after making JD Morgan tap to the Champagne Breakfast, at 10:09

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cplus.jpg

Azaria: Marquez wins! Marquez wins!

Vibert: And the ultra-talented Antonio Marquez, who in my opinion has unlimited potential, gets his first of what I predict to be many TCW victories!

Azaria: And I have to think that Antonio Marquez has earned JD Morgan's respect, after he comes through on his promise and makes him-

Vibert: Oh, for God's sakes!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/AntonioMarquez.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JDMorgan.jpg
In-Ring Segment

Marquez celebrates his long-awaited first TCW victory for a bit, posing on the top rope for a bit - only for JD Morgan to sneak up from behind, and slam him down with a Back SuperPlex!

The fans jeer viciously, as Morgan sends a few kicks to the back of Antonio Marquez, continuing to attack the spot he's weakened for the past ten minutes!

Morgan ignores the hatred of the crowd, as he rolls out from the ring..to retreive a chair! He gets back in, and waits for the battered Marquez to get to his feet, and the second he does, Morgan drives the chair right into the small of the back of Marquez! Marquez freezes in pain on his feet for a bit, and Morgan takes that oppurtunity to hit a second shot across the back of Marquez, taking him down! He sends a few more shots from above to the back of Marquez, before tossing it aside!

Morgan then goes down to lock in the Cross Atlantic Stretch! Marquez struggles valiantly for abit, but eventually starts tapping. Morgan seems to finally be satisfied with this, and he poses above Marquez, clearly proud of his actions, smiling smugly, contiuning to ignore the venemous jeers this gains him.

Post-match, Marquez is celebrating, until JD Morgan comes back up and nails him with a Back SuperPlex. Morgan follows up with multiple chair shots to the back, before forcing Marquez to tap out to the Cross Atlantic Stretch.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_dplus.jpg

Azaria: My God, that was absolutely classless!

Vibert: Man, what's happened to JD Morgan? He used to be a lot more respectful then this!

Azaria: He's bitter over losing, so he attacks Marquez! I really hope he gets some commupance after that assault!

Vibert: Well either way, a great match Jason, and coming up, I predict another one - my boys, Danger and Violence face-off against one of the hottest new tag teams in wrestling - The New Age Party Crashers, in non-title action!

Azaria: You're right, Phil, that match should be explosive - and it's coming up, right after this commercial break!

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EddStone.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TexasPete.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JoeyMinnesota.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EddiePeak.jpg

The New Age Party Crashers vs.Danger and Violence

"Little Smirk" by Theory Of A Deadman, The New Age Party Crasher's collective theme hits, and out comes the two hard partiers themselves. Edd comes out with his usual flair and careless swinging - although his sight is once again impaired, this time simply because he put his vest on wrong, apparantly thinking it was a hoodie. Stone almost falls off the ramp because of this, prompting an embarassed Sneer to pull the vest off his face. He berated Edd for this, but it's pretty clear that it's in one ear and out the other. Surprisingly, Texas Pete has very few shenanigans, apparantly having finished his last bottle of the night before coming out here. The duo once again impress everyone by their ability to actually find the ring without difficulty. It never does get less surprising. The screechy opening chords of KoRn's "Freak On A Leash" follows suit, accompanied by a massive pop, as out comes the Tag Team Champions - Joey Minnesota and Eddie Peak, Danger and Violence! Minnesota proudly brandishes his tag belt, but Peak is far too busy with his frantic head banging, stirring the crowd into a frenzy, having them once again take on the appearance of a mosh pit, banging along with him all the way down the ramp, and into the ring. Pete and Stone decide between themselves who will start for their side, and for once, it turns out to be Pete. Minnesota and Peak, on the other hand, have no such conversation. Minnesota learns from past attempts at trying to argue with Peak, and simply steps onto the apron, as the bell rings..

..and shockingly, Eddie Peak does not hold back a bit to start us out, immediately tackling Pete, and raining down stiff shot after stiff shot. Texas Pete's usual style typically sees him going slow to start things off, which makes starting off with the ever-frantic Peak a bit of a mismatch. Thusly, Peak dominates him without even letting him get a shot in for the first minute and a half - although it may feel more like an hour and a half for Pete. Pete puts a stop to the abuse by catching a running Peak with a clothesline. We then see the rather amusing sight of the big, rugged Pete scrambling back to his corner to tag Stone in, clearly not wanting much more of Peak! Stone doesn't look too enthused when Pete tags him either, but seeing that Peak has already gotten up, Stone decides to throw caution to the wind, and enters the ring with a Springboard Seated Senton! Azaria notes that Edd Stone is always pretty flashy, and Vibert responds by saying that he heard being "flashy" once earned Stone a night in jail. Moving right along from that..

Stone continues with the flashy offense, but at one point it backfires, when Peak rolls out of the way of a Springboard Legdrop, leaving Stone to crash and burn! Peak shoots back up to his feet as if nothing happened to him, before pulling Stone up to his by the hair - and nailing him with a Gutwrench Powerbomb! It only earns a 2 however, and when Peak gets up, he sees Joey Minnesota desperately trying for the tag. He doesn't look thrilled to get out of the match, but decides to tag out to Minnesota, who, like Stone, comes in with a Springboard, landing a Springboard Elbow Drop into the stomach of Stone! Again, Stone narrowly kicks out, but Minnesota is unphased, putting together some swift, yet impactful offense on Stone. It gets to the point where Texas Pete seemingly gets worried, and comes in - only to get caught with a Snap Powerslam! As Minnesota shouts out to the crowd, as Stone gets up, and steps towards Minnesota - only to get caught with a Back Body Drop that sends him to the apron. Minnesota catches Stone in the ribs with a Spin Kick, and then..climbs the top rope? My God, Minnesota catches Stone, still on the apron, with a Flying Spinning Headscissors, taking him to the floor! And Minnesota actually hangs on to the second rope, on a knee, posing for the crowd, and earning a "Minnesota" chant in doing so!

But as Azaria and Vibert praise the amazing show of athleticism, Minnesota turns, still on a knee - only to meet the boot of the recovered Texas Pete, right to the temple! Minnesota looks just about knocked on, as Pete pulls Minnesota into the ring. But behind him, Pete hears what sounds like a rampaging bull, and turns to see Eddie Peak dashing right towards him! Pete scrambles to get back on the apron, only to immediately be knocked right off it! Pete struggles to his feet - and turns in time to see Eddie Peak hit the Suicide Dive through the ropes! Peak springs up and roars to the crowd, who roar back to him! But meanwhile, in the ring, Edd Stone, still shaking out the cobwebs, stands up on the apron, and nails a Springboard Frog Splash onto the fallen Minnesota! Stone looks confident, but Minnesota is narrowly able to kick out! As Peak makes his way back to the D&V corner, Stone continues beating on Minnesota, but doesn't seem to be able to put him away. At one point, he tags in Pete, and he does some basic kicking and punching to the downed Minnesota, keeping him grounded. This goes on for about thirty seconds, until Minnesota counters an Irish Whip with a Short Arm Clothesline! Minnesota crawls over to his corner, but at the last second, Pete grabs his ankle - only to be nailed with an Enziguri! Minnesota lunges forward, into the hot tag to Peak, and Peak absolutely turns Pete inside out with a massive lariat, as soon as the big man gets to his feet! And after Peak knocks Stone off the apron, he wastes little time in picking Pete up for - and nailing him with - the Peak Of Perfection, for the pin, and the win!

Danger and Violence win, via pinfall, after Eddie Peak hit Texas Pete with the Peak Of Perfection, at 9:47

Azaria: Wow! What a great tag match that was!

Vibert: Of course it was great, it had Peak and Minnesota in it! Repping DAVE huge, they lit the crowd on fire just now!

Azaria: Yeah, and..hmm?

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JoeyMinnesota.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EddiePeak.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/Guide.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/Scout.jpg

In-Ring Segment

As Danger and Violence are celebrating in the ring with their titles, KoRn's "Freak On A Leash" fades into "Hammerhead" by The Offspring.

The fans pop, but D&V look rather suspiciously towards the stage as the No.1 Contender's to their titles, The New Wave come onto the stage, in street clothes, holding microphones.

Their nerves may be a bit settled though, when they see the team applauding the efforts of the champions..

Guide: Eddie, Joey..two months ago, we saw The Tag Team Specialists ripping on you and DAVE, and it made us absolutely sick to our stomachs.

The fans pop this sentimate, clearly showing which side they were on.

Scout: Yeah, and in recent months, combating with them and the now defunct Machines..us four, we've started to bond.

Guide: We've always had a lot of respect for you two as individuals..and as of late, we've gained a lot of respect for you two, as a fellow dominant tag team.

The crowd again cheers, the Total Faithful always appreciating respect.

Guide: ...But..

Scout: ..those tag belts that you hold ever-so proudly, are the same belts that me and Guide here have been chasing for about nine months now.

Guide: That's right. They're why we are here in TCW in the first place. We are now nearing our 1st Year Anniversary with this company..and still we have yet to gain the titles we crave.

Scout: The fact is, in just about every single Pay-Per-View match we had in 2007, we ended up being screwed by The Syndicate. We chased The Machines for about six months straight, and we kicked their asses every single time..only to be left with nothing to show for it, and frankly..frankly, I'm glad that those belts are now around you two's waists. Because now..we can finally get a fair shot at them!

Guide: That's right we will..at Total Madness, it's going to be one hell of a match..which is fitting, because, you guys need to realize that as much as we respect you..that we plan on this being the culmination of our struggle. We fully plan on becoming TCW Tag Team Champions, and in order to attain that goal..we're going to give you..hell. So good luck..and may the better team win.

The two lower their mics, and then raise their fists, and most of the crowd shouts along as they scream the soldier's "HOO-HAH!". "Hammerhead" by The Offspring comes back in, and The New Wave get a pretty nice pop as they make their leave. Meanwhile in the ring, Minnesota and Peak look as though they have no issues with what was said..well, atleast Minnesota does anyway. Peak looks about as untrusting now as he did when they first came out..

After the win, The New Wave come out to show their respect to the Tag Team Champions. However, they then remind everyone just how long they've been hunting for TCW Tag gold. They make it known that they fully intend for the Total Madness title match to be the culmination of the hunt, they fully intend to finally take the tag team titles, in less then three weeks.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cplus.jpg

Azaria: Well that was an..interesting exchange..

Vibert: Jason, Guide and Scout won my tag titles more then any other team out there, so I think what I'm talking about when I say that those two men absolutely love gold. And the fact that they've been hunting the belts in TCW for so very long, and have so little to show for it, it really has to be eating at them. They hide it well, but I really do see the frustration in their expressions. When they came into this company, they really had to have thought that, by now, they'd have long since won those belts.

Azaria: Well when they first entered, everyone thought that it was only a matter of time until they won the titles. I mean, a lot of people do think, after all, that they are THE GREATEST TAG TEAM IN THE WORLD TODAY!

Vibert: Well in my not-so-humble opinion, Jason, I think they deserve to be called as such. In fact, I think they're such an amazing team, that at one point I considered re-naming them to "The World's Greatest Tag Team", but that was apparantly taken..

Azaria: While we're on the passing subject of DAVE and it's alumni, we've got a pretty interesting match up next between two DAVE Alumnis - the veteran "Wonder" Eric Tyler takes on the high flying Teddy Powell, when we come back!

Backstage Segment

When we come back, then screen fades into the back where the ever cheery Jasmine Saunders stands.

Jasmine Saunders: Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I would like to introduce to you, the man who will be in the main event of tonight, and is the current TCW International Champion..please welcome, Brent Hill!

The screen pans to show Hill, sporting a confident smile, as well as the International Title over his shoulder.

Saunders: Nice to have you here again, Brent.

Brent Hill: Thank you, Jasmine.

Saunders: Now Brent, later tonight you will be facing Wolf Hawkins in a main event rematch to the classic one you two put on at The War To Settle The Score, for the TCW International Title. How do you fig-...

Jasmine suddenly pauses and looks over Brent's shoulder. Hill's smile fades as he looks past him..and it turns into an evil scowl, as the camera pans to show who's behind him..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/HumanArsenal-1.jpg

John Anderson: Hello, Brent..look, I just wan-

Hill's typical composure dissolves as he grabs his former best friend by the collar.

Hill: How many times do I have to tell you that I don't want to see you ever again?! How many times do I have to tell you that I would just as soon like to forget you ever existed?!

Anderson: Brent, really, we need to talk-

Hill: I don't want to talk to you! I don't want to be anywhere near you! We were Tag Partners for three years - we were best friends for 13 years, and you turn on me, so Tommy Cornell can keep using you to protect his ass?! No, I don't want to talk to you!

Anderson: Brent, there was nothing personal abou-

Hill: Well it's personal now!

Anderson: Damn it, Brent, you saw me! I didn't like doing what I did, but it was what had to be done! You have to beleive me Brent, I wouldn't have done it if it was my choice, I had no other options!

Hill: Get out..of my..sight.

Anderson: ..So that's it, huh?

Hill: Yes. That's it, get out.

Anderson: Fine..but one more thing.

Hill: What?

Anderson: Don't look back.

Hill shoots an odd look to his former partner..but it swiftly turns to one of pain, as from behind comes Wolf Hawkins, with a running knee to the back of the International Champion!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/WolfHawkins1.jpg

Jasmine Saunders screams and swiftly makes her leave, as Hill is nearly bent backwards over his knee, and Hawkins goes for a clothesline, but Hill is able to duck it, only to take a few shots from John Anderson!

Hawkins and Anderson both take shots on Hill, but Hill is able to catch Wolf with an elbow that sends him back a few steps, and is then able to clothesline the injured Anderson to the ground!

Hawkins dashes at Hill, but is caught with a kick! Hill nails a European Uppercut, and suddenly, Hawkins decides against the sneak attack, turning and running off as Hill turns back to the former Human Aresenal!

As soon as Anderson gets up, he gets thrown right into the wall! Hill sends in a couple stomps to the downed Anderson, to drive the point home, before leaving in a huff!

Brent Hill is backstage for an interview, but he can't answer a single question before his former partner, the injured John Anderson comes up to him. Anderson wants to try and explain his betraying of Hill, but Hill wants none of it. Eventually, in comes Wolf Hawkins to attack Hill from behind, and two Syndicate members try and double team Hill, but Hill is able to fight back, and quickly cause Hawkins to back off. Hill sends Anderson into the wall to end the confrontation, before making his leave.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_b.jpg

Azaria: My God, and things between Anderson and Hill get more and more bitter!

Vibert: Hawkins and Anderson try to soften up Hill before the main event International Title match, but it backfired!

Azaria: Hawkins couldn't do much damage to Hill, but Hawkins was more or less unscathed as well!

Vibert: You're right, Jason, but man, did Brent Hill dodge a bullet just now! Wolf Hawkins is always a dangerous competitor, and coming in with an injury, I don't know if Hill could retain his title!

Azaria: Coming off that, we're going straight back into the action, with two former DAVE wrestlers - Teddy Powell taking on Eric Tyler!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TeddyPowell.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EricTyler.jpg

Teddy Powell vs. Eric Tyler

"Addicted" by P.O.D blares, and the fans give a very nice reception as out comes Teddy Powell, a bandage over his forehead after that beaten from Sammy Bach last week, but he still looks to be in very good shape, slapping his own temples to psyche himself up. He dashes down the ramp with his typical energy, jumping right between the bottom and second ropes, rolling to land on one knee, shooting up the "A" for signal, for Adrenaline, in an impressive little entrance. He looks pretty pleased, despite the intensity of his feud with the All-Action Champion. But the cheers turn to jeers, as soon as "Chinese Democracy" by Guns 'N Roses hits, and out comes Eric Tyler. Vibert notes how much he absolutely detests anyone under 30, and how the Adrenaline Rush team had a very long and bloody feud with the School of Tradition in DAVE. And indeed, Tyler does not look pleased to have to be wrestling Powell as he treds down the rampway. Tyler slides into the ring, and goes right up to Powell, giving him a peice of his mind, making it clear what he thinks of him.

Tyler's berating continues after the bell rings, and Tyler decides to put an exclamation point on it with a slap to the face of Powell. And this absolutely enrages Powell, who swiftly hits an Ed Henson Press, raining down punches to take the early lead! Referee Ray Johnson is quick to get Powell off of Tyler, but as soon as Tyler's up, he's nailed with a Bicycle Kick from the highly speedy Teddy Powell! Powell goes for the cover, trying to gain a quick victory, but Tyler is just able to kick out, keeping from being upset in less then a minute! Still incensed, Powell forego's his typical high flying, instead striking "The Wonder" with punches and kicks, before leveling him with a rope-assisted Suplex! Powell again covers, but Tyler again kicks out. Powell keeps control for the first few minutes, until he decides to go up top. He waits for Tyler to get up, and goes for a Missle Dropkick, but Tyler is able to get out of the way, causing Powell to crash into the mat! The crafty Eric Tyler scrambles to get on top of Powell, trying to capitolize on the younger man's mistake, but Powell is able to kick out!

All the same, Tyler takes control and keeps it for a few minutes, sending stomps down onto the left ankle of Powell, deciding to work that particular part of him! Tyler takes up Powell's left ankle, and drives it into the mat multiple times in DDT-like fashion, then locks him in a Single Leg Grapevine, focusing as much of his power as he can onto the ankle! As Tyler wrenches on the leg, he also sends multiple shots to the ankle, stretching it out as far as he can! Powell looks to be in a mass of pain as he struggles to get to the ropes! He claws forward, crawling closer and closer to the bottom rope! He's a fingertip away, when Tyler releases the hold, getting up to his feet to pull Powell back to the middle of the ring! Tyler looks to re-apply the Grapevine, but Powell catches him with a kick! Tyler goes back down for it, and hooks the left leg, but Powell meets him with a second kick, before struggling up to one knee! Powell lays a few punches into the face of Tyler, as he gets up to one leg - then nails him with an Enziguri! After taking a second to recovering from the assault on his ankle, Powell crawls onto Tyler for another pin attempt, but Tyler kicks out!

After allowing his ankle a little more recovery time, Powell decides to go the high flying route again, nailing a Springboard Dropkick, and a Crossbody off the top rope, both of which earn two nearfalls! However, when Powell tries to pull Tyler back up after this display, he gets a rake to the eyes for his credit! Tyler follows up on this by picking Powell up, and dropping him head-first onto the top turnbuckle pad, hitting him with the Snake Eyes! Before Powell can even finish rebounding off the impact, Tyler lifts him up again, and hangs him into the Tree Of Woe position! Tyler takes a moment to insult the crowd, before wailing on Powell, sending punch after punch, and kick after kick to Powell's ribs, chest and face! Powell is helpless, as Tyler dashes to the opposite corner! But when Tyler goes for the Low Dropkick, Powell is able to pull himself up and out of the way, leaving Tyler to crotch himself on the turnbuckle post!

Tyler writhes in pain for a long moment, as Teddy Powell pulls himself onto his feet on the top rope! And swiftly after Tyler turns to get his back to the corner, Powell meets him with an amazing rope-assisted Dropkick*! Most men would probably go for the win after that type of move, but instead, Powell gives Tyler a little shove with his foot, to keep him backed up in the corner. He then runs to..the opposite corner? He climbs up to the top rope, and has a rather heinous look in his eye! As the announcer's speculate on just what he has planned, Powell shoots the "A" sign to the crowd - then comes off the top, and soars all the way across the ring for a massive Missle Dropkick to the downed Eric Tyler**! Teddy Powell spends the next few seconds jumping around and playing to the crowd, really getting them beleiving in him, before turning to Tyler, and starting to stalk for the Motion Censor Roundhouse Kick! Tyler struggles to get up to his feet, and Powell goes for the huge kick - but Tyler ducks it at the last second, and sends his fist right between Powell's legs, a blatent low blow, but Referee Ray Johnson is out of position! Tyler gets the doubled over Powell into an Inside Cradle! 1...2..

No! No, Tyler does not get the victory off this blatant cheating! Tyler argues profusely with the ref, before pulling Powell up by the hair! Tyler whips Powell forward, then pulls him for a Short Arm Clothesline - but Powell ducks it, and Tyler ends up accidentally decking the referee! Ray Johnson goes down! At first Tyler looks rattled to have hit the ref..but eventually, a devlish grin comes across the veteran's face. Tyler turns to see Powell get up to his feet - and meets him with another rake of the eyes, before planting him head-first into the mat with a Jumping Piledriver! Tyler continues with his evil grin, before slowly stepping out of the ring and grabbing a Steel Chair from under it! Tyler rolls into the ring, and starts stalking for Powell! He slams the chair onto the mat over and over, looking incensed! Powell gets up to one knee, while Tyler starts to rear back! But the heinous jeering suddenly turns to cheering, when Genghis Rahn comes up and onto the apron! Just as Tyler rears back for the blow, Rahn grabs the chair! Tyler turns to Rahn with a shocked expression, and the two rivals play a little tug-of-war, which ends when Rahn snatches the chair away, and throws it to ringside! Rahn jumps down to the floor, as Tyler screams at him! Meanwhile, Powell gets up to his feet behind Tyler, and Rahn signals for Tyler to turn around. Slowly enough, Tyler does - and as soon as he does, he's caught with a huge Motion Censor Roundhouse Kick! Tyler goes down - and in comes Referee Sam Sparrow, right in time to see Powell pin Tyler! 1...2...

3!! Powell wins! Powell wins!

Teddy Powell wins, via pinfall, after hitting the Motion Censor, at 10:29

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cplus.jpg

Azaria: Wow!! Teddy Powell with a second upset, this time over the veteran Eric Tyler!

Vibert: Man, what a match! I've always known Teddy Powell could fight, but he's come into TCW with a fire I've never seen in him before!

Azaria: Indeed he has, and, I- oh hell, speaking of his motivation..

Vibert: Yeah, here it comes right now..this won't end well..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TeddyPowell.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SammyBach.jpg
In-Arena Segment

Teddy Powell takes a lot of joy in what is a bit of an upset, but he's not allowed much celebration time, as after only about 10 seconds of P.O.D's "Addicted" playing through, the PA song changes to "Capricorn" by 30 Seconds To Mars.

Powell's elated expression swiftly changes to one of confusion, and later concern, when out walks the All-Action Champion, Sammy Bach, without any flash or flare to his typically over-the-top entrance. And even more concerning is the look on the face of Bach, his eyes red and pretty swollen at this point. He looks as though he hasn't slept in a week, as though he's cried for the last eight days straight, and he likely has. Currently, however, there is no emotion. He looks cold and straight faced. He doesn't even bring his beloved All-Action title with him tonight, but he does however have a microphone in his hands. He speaks, with the same level of coldness, although his voice occassionally breaks***, possibly a sign that he's far more emotional then he sounds..

Sammy Bach: ....Teddy. I've thought long and hard..about this. I've gone through every scenario. I've gone through every other option..but every time..every time, I always end up at the same spot. Every time, I end up reaching the same conclusion. Every time, it becomes more and more clear, that there's only way to end this..

Bach points at Powell.

Bach: You and me..at Total Madness.

Powell has by now called for a mic..

Teddy Powell: Sammy, I told you last week, man. I won't fight you. I-I can't do it, man. It's not the right way to go about thi-

Bach: Don't tell me what's right! I'm sick of you telling me you know how to fix things! Ever since you've gotten here, you've been nothing but a roadblock for me, for my career..and for my beloved Karen Killer, who nobody has seen since was rushed to the hospital - thanks to you! You say you're here to help me?! You've done nothing, since getting here, but put me through hell! And now you dare to deny me my right to assimilate you?! You dare deny me my right to do to you, what you did to Karen?!

Bach looks to be fighting back more tears - or perhaps he's just out of them at this point - as he shouts in pain to Teddy Powell. Shots over to Powell see him looking rather guilty as he listens to his former best friend.

Bach: No..no, I won't allow it. I won't..but I know, I know how to get you in this ring..I know how greedy you are, you little bastard, so I know what you want!

Bach lowers the mic, and goes past the curtain for a bit, leaving Powell to think about that statement. A few seconds pass, before Bach re-emerges, this time holding his All-Action title!

Bach: This is what you want, isn't it?! This is why you're even here, isn't it?! Admit it! The only reason you came here was to take my championship, no matter what you had to do to get the shot! No matter what lies you had to put in my head! No matter who you..had to assault..you sick son of a bitch! You selfish peice of sh*t!

The crowd "Ohhhhhh"'s at this statement - censored for TV, but not at the arena - as Powell meanwhile nods his head "no".

Bach: Don't you lie to me! It was all a trick to try and steal my belt! So you won't wrestle me, unless I put it on the line! That's it, isn't it, you greedy bastard?! Well, fine - it's on the line! You and me, at Total Madness, for the All-Action Championship!

Powell: ...That's what you want, huh?

Bach: Yes! That's exactly what I want! It's the only way to end this, and you..once and for all.

Powell, still winded from the match, looks very conflicted with this decision. He pauses for a long moment, scanning the crowd, who in turn start a unique "do it!" chant. He then, almost begrudgingly, raises the mic back to his lips.

Powell: ....Fine.

The crowd pops at the sound of this simple word, ready and eager to see Powell and Bach go at it again. Meanwhile, an evil grin, suddenly forms on Bach's weary face.

Bach: I knew it..I knew it, you just can't resist gold, can you? You just can't..well you know what, Teddy..I'm glad. I really am, because..at Total Madness..after I beat you bloody, after I batter you across the ring, after I put every last bit of my strength into making you suffer..I'm going to do to you, what you did to me. What Emma did to me. What Phil Vibert did to me..

Before that last statement, Bach points over to the broadcasting booth, and before his next, he points all across the crowd..

Bach: ...and what all of these people did to me. I'm going turn my back on you..and leave you for dead..

With this, Bach ends his tirade with a creepy little laugh, an insane look on his face. Bach drops the microphone, and makes his leave, as "Capricorn" by 30 Seconds To Mars hits again. The screen cuts to Teddy Powell in the ring, nodding his head "no", clearly not thrilled at having to go back on his "I won't fight Sammy Bach" word so quickly, as the screen fades...

Immediately after his match, Powell turns to find Sammy Bach. Bach challenges Powell to a match at Total Madness, which Powell swiftly declines, again stating that he doesn't want to fight Bach anymore. This causes Bach to go on a tanget, insulting Powell, which eventually ends in Bach accusing Powell of feigning friendship, in an attempt to get shots at Bach's All-Action Title, which Bach backs up by putting the title on the line. After a long pause, Powell begrudgingly agrees to a title match at Total Madness. Bach ends the promo by stating he will do to Powell what everyone else has done to him - leave him for dead.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_b.jpg

Azaria: My Lord! This just looks worse and worse every week, Phil!

Vibert: Oh, I know, Jason, it just gets more and more heated with every passing show, and now we've got an All-Action Title match set for TCW Total Madness later this month - Sammy Bach vs. Teddy Powell II!

Azaria: The last time these two went at it, nine days ago, it ended after Powell accidentally Roundhouse Kicked Karen Killer! Who knows how this encounter will fare the second time around!

Vibert: And on that note, we're going to commercial break, and once we come back, we're going to get the tenth installment of the Laying Down The Law Challenge!

Azaria: Law has really started to have some back problems as of late, and whoever it is who gets a shot at him tonight may very well have a target to zero in on!

***Commercial Break***

In-Ring Segment

Nickelback's "Breathe" hits, and out comes Rick Law to yet another massive reaction. He's nursing a sore back, but still has his typical humble grin as he makes his way down the ramp. He cringes when he bends down to enter the ring, much to the concern of Vibert and Azaria. He hides it well, however, as he takes up a microphone.

Rick Law: My, my, Illinois..go Cubs!

Typically cheap pop.

Law: And I'm sure you all know what's coming next, because it's time to st-

The challengee tonight must not be very patient, as despite Law's usually promos always been very short and to the point, Alice In Chains' "Them Bones" interupts anyway, and out comes Robert Oxford, with his typical steely glare, his partner Joel Bryant in tow.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RobertOxford.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JoelBryant.jpg

Law doesn't look particularly happy to be interupted, but tries to hide anger, as he typically does, while Oxford enters the ring. Law eyes Bryant as he makes his way to the side of the ring, as Oxford stands right up to Law, and folds his arms. Law waits a second to see if Oxford has anything to say, and when he doesn't speak, Law raises the mic back up to his mouth.

Law: ...Well. Hi, Robert. I suppose this means you're accepting the challenge tonight.

Oxford again has no response, just keeping his arms folded, looking at Law as though he had ran over his puppy. After a bit of waiting, Oxford decides, for whatever reason, to shove Law, taking him back a few steps. The anger on Law's face is quite clear at this point. He slowly takes his hat, and throws it to the crowd, before bringing the mic back up to his mouth.

Law: Ring the bell.

Rick Law came out for the Laying Down The Law Challenge, but before he could announce it, he was interupted by Robert Oxford. Oxford said nothing, instead giving Law a shove. Angered, Law commanded that the bell be rung, and the match began.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_b.jpg

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RickLaw.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RobertOxford.jpg

Rick Law vs. Robert Oxford

The bell did indeed ring, and during the first few lock ups, Rick Law completely overpowered Oxford, shoving him across the ring twice. And both times, Oxford looked shocked, as if he didn't expect the size differance to come into play. Law takes control in the opening minutes, pretty much overwhelming "The Phenom" himself. Oxford took a lot of abuse, until Law lifted him up in his usual delayed Vertical Suplex! Oxford got a thumb into the eye of Law, which allowed him to land on his feet behind the former International Champion. Oxford drives his forearm into the back of Law, and that alone causes the big man to fall, clearly feeling the effects of his injured back! And as Vibert points out, Robert Oxford is one of the worst opponents you could pick to wrestle while nursing an injury! And indeed, Oxford targets the back and shows no mercy in doing so, sending about five or six knees to it in quick succession at one point!

After a minute and a half of torturing Law, Oxford decides to really bring the pain, whipping Law to the ropes, while nearing the opposite ones! And when Law rebounds, Oxford goes for a Back Body Drop to the outside - the same style of move that started his back problems to begin with! For once, a trace of fear enters the eyes of Law, and when Oxford Back Body Drops him over the top rope, Law holds onto the top rope for all he's worth, slipping to the apron! Now that he knows just how vicious the veteran is, Law fights to keep Oxford from knocking him off the apron, sending quite a few closed fits to the temple of Oxford, until one downs him. As Referee Sam Sparrow abmonishes Law for his rare rulebreaking, Law enters the ring, only to be immediately bullrushed by Oxford! But Law is able to counter, and ends up giving Oxford a taste of his own medicine, Back Body Dropping him all the way to the floor! While Oxford screams on the outside, Law nurses his wounds a bit, and Sparrow starts the 10 count. It doesn't get far, before Oxford gets to his feet - only to swiftly be met with the Disturbing The Peice Baseball Slide, to a huge ovation!

Law takes a few seconds to play to the crowd, before again having to cringe and hold onto his back - every motion hurts it a little, and that one did quite a lot! Nevertheless, Law shows his usual courage in quickly sending Oxford into the ring. Law hits the ropes, and goes for the Long Arm Of The Law, only for Oxford to duck it - but Law is quick in turning around, and ends up catching Oxford with a Running Bulldog, before he can even stand up straight again! Law keeps on Oxford for a few minutes, using his general power moves for a bit. Eventually, he tries to end things with a second Long Arm Of The Law attempt, but this time after Oxford ducks it, the crafty vet is quick to capatilize with a kick right to the back! As Law seethes, Oxford wraps his arms tightly around the neck of Law, locking him into a Sleeper Hold! The fans quickly clap for Law as he valiantly struggles, but his back problems may have ended up going against his struggling, as eventually Oxford gets Law down to the mat. The fans continuing rooting for Law, as the ref checks his arm once..twice..thre- no! Law gets the arm up! Law slowly fights up to his feet, and breaks the Sleeper Hold with a Stunning Face Crusher! The impact causes Oxford to take a few steps backwards, into the ropes, which he rebounds from - right into a huge Long Arm Of The Law clothesline! The sound of the blow echos all across the arena, as Law covers Oxford for the academic pinfall!

Rick Law wins, via pinfall, after hitting Oxford with the Long Arm Of The Law, at 8:55

Azaria: And Law wins it! Law wins it, yet again!

Vibert: Another one bites the dust, Jason! But man, I think his back may only be getting worse!

Azaria: Well, as you said, Phil, Oxford was one of the worst opponents to wrestle with an injury! He attacked that back of Law all night long!

Vibert: Well, one half of the Tag Team Specialists failed to pull a minor upset..after the break, we'll see if the other half can suceed!

Azaria: That's right, wrestling fans - up next, in our semi-main event, it's Joel Bryant taking on Tyson Baine!

Backstage Segment

We fade in to the back once again, to see the ever-cheery Jasmine Saunders for the last time tonight.

Jasmine Saunders: Welcome back to TCW Total Wrestling! Jasmine Saunders here, and standing with me at this time, is the record holding 5-time Hardcore Champion, Genghis Rahn! Genghis?

The crowd cheers in the background, as the screen pans to show Rahn, looking as mellow as he has for a while now.

Genghis Rahn: 'Sup, Jas.

Saunders: Now, Genghis..less then twenty minutes ago, you went out there during Eric Tyler's match with Teddy Powell, and ended up helping Powell to score the upse-

Rahn: Woah, woah, let me stop you there, cutie..I didn't help Powell win. I helped Powell in evening the odds. I mean, let's face it, if Tyler hadn't cheated, that match would've ended long before it did. Powell was kicking his ass all match, until Tyler decided to take out the ref. All I was doing was put the match on even ground, and on even ground, Teddy Powell got the win. It's just that sim-

Mid-sentance, in comes Eric Tyler, tackling Rahn to the ground!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/EricTyler.jpg

Jasmine yelps and scrambles away, as Tyler sends punches down onto Rahn! He stands up, and starts kicking and stomping the downed hardcore wrestler!

Eric Tyler: You want to interfere in my matches?! Huh?! You wanna screw with my career?! Do you?!

Tyler delivers a running kick to the face of Rahn, before continuing the stomps.

Tyler: You want hardcore, huh? Is that what you want?! Hardcore?!

Tyler goes off-screen for a moment, then dashes back into it with a Steel Chair! He brings the chair down onto the ribs of Rahn once, twice - three times!

Tyler throws the chair away, then pulls Rahn up by his hair, and throws him through a (rather randomly placed) curtain, through to the wall!

Satisfied with this, Tyler leaves in a huff.

A slight pause occurs, followed by Rahn pull the curtain over his head, and casually stating,

Rahn: So is that a yes..?

Genghis Rahn is backstage for an interview, but is swiftly jumped by Eric Tyler.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_c.jpg

Vibert: And the attacks between Tyler and Rahn continue!

Azaria: It seems neither of these two men are content with in-ring battles, Phil!

Vibert: Well, in this next match, I think Joel Bryant's going to get all the in-ring battling he can stand, and perhaps much more!

Azaria: You may be right, Phil! Bryant's always tried to insert him in the spotlight, but he may have seriously bitten off more then he can chew this time!

Vibert: I'm sure Bryant's got enough in him to bring the fight to the big man, but I really don't know how much of a shot he has in actually bringing him down!

Azaria: I suppose we'll find out now partner!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JoelBryant.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TysonBaine.jpg

Joel Bryant vs. Tyson Baine

While Azaria and Vibert hype up the match, "Them Bones" is playing through, and Joel Bryant is already in the ring, having stayed at ringside throughout Oxford's match, the commercial break and the Rahn interview. He looks very determined, as he rightfully should be. Not only is he facing Tyson Baine of all people, but Robert Oxford, sat up in a chair at ringside, still very much beat up, is little more then a spectator, not at all looking likely to interfere any time soon. Shortly after "Them Bones" fades away, the arena goes black, and the fans are already on their feet, knowing exactly who's coming. The usual entrance of Tyson Baine follows, with towers of flame arching up on the stage, and continuing to do so as Nickelback's "Hold Out Your Hand" hits. As soon as the intro's done, out comes the demonic Tyson Baine, as always ignoring both the fire, and the stellar crowd reaction, staring dead-set at his opponent as he treads down the rampway. He steps up to the apron, and over the top rope, not a speck of arrogance, humor, joy, or any other real discernable emotion aside from unrelenting hate to be found on the face of Baine. Bryant, to his credit, is standing his ground, not looking intimidated - although he may very well be shaking like hell on the side, as he stares down the massive challenge in front of him..

The bell rings, and Baine's usual explosive start is foregone this time. Instead, Baine stands motionless for the first few seconds, continuing to stare down Bryant, and apparantly getting into his head a bit by doing so, as every added second seems to add to Bryant's uneasiness. It doesn't take long until this uneasiness translates to anger, and Bryant dashes at Baine for the first clothesline attempt, but Baine ducks it - then turns right around, and floors Bryant with a knockout level punch, right to the back of the head! But before Bryant can even fall, the merciless Baine grabs Bryant by the shoulders and neck from behind, and hurls him across the ring, thereby forcing Bryant to again face him! As Bryant gets up to one knee, he's met with one of Baine's, right into the forehead! Baine covers, but, again to the credit of Bryant, the "Straight Shooter" is able to kick out. This show of toughness doesn't help Bryant much however, as Baine continues to slug on him for quite a few minutes after this!

Baine puts the beatdown on Bryant, and after getting nailed with a Jackhammer, the very tenured wrestlers decides that it isn't worth it, and bails! Bryant leaves the ring and walks up the ramp, as IE Referee Yasuyuki Terakado starts the count! Now, with most men, referees are able to talk sense into them, and keep them from following. Tyson Baine of course is not most men, and responds to Terakado's abmonishing by shoving him out of the way! Most ref's would likely DQ Baine over this, but Vibert points out that again the Japanese Ref's are showing leniacy, and instead of disqaulifying the big man, Terakado just leers defiantely as Baine steps over the top rope, and with shocking agility, dashes up the rampway! The speed of Baine takes Bryant off-gaurd, so much so that he trips over his own foot up the ramp! By the time he scrambles to his feet, he's met with a massive Shoulder Block from Baine! Baine takes up Bryant in Military Press position, and in a show of massive strength, carries him that way all the way down the ramp! Baine hurls Bryant right over the top rope from the floor, and rolls into the ring, just beating the count!

But after re-entering the ring, Bryant is none too thrilled about meeting Baine face-to-face again, and by the time Baine's up to his feet on the mat, Bryant has rolled over to the apron, where he struggles to his feet. Baine pursues Bryant - and gets an immediate Hot Shot for his troubles! Baine staggers backwards, and Bryant, finally getting an oppurtunity at taking Baine down, dashes over to and climbs on top of the turnbuckle, where he comes flying off with the Double Axehandle! But Baine doesn't go down, instead just dazily staggering back a few more steps! Bryant hits the opposite ropes, and rebounds strong with a Chop Block, and Baine starts to go down to one knee - but not quite! Starting to get impatient, Bryant hits the ropes again for a clothesline - but is met with a massive Snap Powerslam from Baine! And Baine holds onto Bryant in that position, to impressively pick him up from right off the ground, and ram him back-first into the corner, setting him up in Tree Of Woe position! The crowd pops hugely as Baine dashes to the opposite corner, and lets out a yell that would raise the dead! (Literally, according to Azaria..) But mid-way through Baine's run, Bryant is pulled out of the corner, and out from the ring by his trusty tag partner, Robert Oxford!

And yet again, the Japanese Leniancy shows, as many referees would see this as DQ-worthy, but not Terakado. Oxford gets Bryant to his feet, and makes sure he's okay, and the two actually hug much to the fans absolute disdain. Baine, likely sickened by any show of friendship, especially one such as that, hits the ropes and nails both with a Baseball Slide dropkick! Baine throws Bryant into the ring, before deciding with his typical cruel intentions that Oxford has yet to suffer enough! Thusly, Baine pulls Oxford up by the hair, and rams him backfirst into the barricade, before holding him up in the air and dropping him onto it! Baine re-enters the ring - and before he can even get to his feet, he's met with a kick to the temple by Bryant! Bryant sends punches, kicks, knees, elbows and forearms onto Baine, but none of it seems to really phase him, as he stands up despite the assault! And this effort ends up only being one last for hurrah for Bryant tonight, as Baine grabs him by the throat, and sends him crashing into the mat with a Chokeslam! Baine then pulls the beaten Bryant up, and plants him with what may very well be an unlikely Hades Bomb! Baine bridges with a distinctly cold look on his face, and this is more then enough to garner the 3!

Tyson Baine wins, via pinfall, after hitting the Hades Bomb on Joel Bryant, at 9:49

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_bplus.jpg

Azaria: Good Lord, what a showing by Baine!

Vibert: Bryant pulled out quite a few stops here, and seemed determined - but his determination couldn't match that of Baine, he just tore through him!

Azaria: Tyson Baine has always been very dangerous, but it seems like recently, a fire has been lit under him!

Vibert: Oh, no doubt, getting back in the title picture really seemed to rejuvinize Tyson Baine, he seems more unstoppable now then ever!

Azaria: Well, folks that was our semi-main event, and you know what th-

Vibert: Wait a minute!

Azaria: Wh-, damn it, no! Come on now!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TysonBaine.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SamKeith-2.jpg

In-Ring Segment

Tyson Baine's celebration was cut short - not that he was doing much of it anyway, when he noticed the suited Sam Keith at ringside!

Baine immediately gained an insensed look as he got up to the ropes and starting barking at Keith to enter the ring! The sight of an angry Baine would cause most to turn and flee, but the legendary Keith doesn't even flinch!

But as Baine shouts at Keith, it becomes very clear what he's up to, when from out of the crowd, comes the also suited TCW World Heavyweight Champion, Tommy Cornell, his title in hand!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TommyCornell-Suit.jpg

Cornell sneaks up behind Baine - and smacks him in the back of the head with the 10 pounds of gold and leather! Baine goes down, and Keith comes in, and the two co-leaders of The Syndicate rain stomps down on Baine!

The crowd pours hatred down onto the ring, as Tommy Cornell holds up Baine by the hair, allowing Keith to send a few slaps Baine's way, before nailing him with a running kick that lays him out! It's at this point Keith really shows the mean streak he seems to have been highlighting recently, taking off his expensive suit jacket, and rolling it up, before using it to strangle Baine from behind! He pulls Baine up to his feet like this - and uses the jacket to assist him in nailing the Neutron Plex!

Keith looks on with a vicious smile, as Tommy Cornell just stands back and watches. Keith shoots a glance over at his partner, who encourages to keep going, and Keith complies by pulling Baine up by the hair, and sending him head-first into the mat with the once banned Jumping Piledriver!

Cornell smiles contently at the damage done, and pats Keith on the shoulder. A short conversation between the two lets everyone know that this is simply their way of letting Baine know once and for all not to cross The Syndicate. But it also lets us know that while Cornell seems satisfied, Keith is not, and the only active Hall Of Immortals member lets Cornell in on a gameplan! The same sick smile goes across Cornell's face, and the two both leave to opposite sides of the ring, both pulling out Steel Chairs!

Vibert asks what the hell the two have plans, as Azaria pleas for them to stop this - meanwhile, Cornell raises Baine's head up, and lays the Steel Chair onto the mat below his face! And it looks like as though Baine's lights may be put out permenantly, as Keith rears back, ready to sandwich Baine's head within the Steel Chairs!

But the vicious jeers turn to cheers, when out runs perhaps the most popular man in TCW history to make the save!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RickyDaleJohnson.jpg

RDJ runs down the ramp at full speed, with a Steel Chair of his own! And despite the 2-on-1 advantage, Keith still doesn't like the odds of facing an armed RDJ, quickly making his way out of the ring, once Ricky Dale enters it! Cornell looks on from across the ring, and too gets bullrushed, only to enter the ring at the last second, Johnson bringing the chair down and only hitting the top rope! But while Cornell makes the escape, he forgot very important, as Ricky Dale notices - the TCW World Heavyweight Championship, still laying in the corner!

Ricky Dale picks up the belt, as Tommy Cornell looks on in fright, swiftly accusing his rival of theft! Ricky Dale gazes into the belt for a bit, then turns to face Cornell and scoffs. Ricky Dale points at the belt, then at himself - the gesture's meaning very clear. He then non-chalantly tosses the belt over to Cornell, who scrambles to catch it, and almost fumbles it! As RDJ looks on with a grin, Cornell places the World Heavyweight title over his shoulder, and makes his way up the ramp, alongside Keith, as Puddle Of Mudd's "Livin' On Borrowed Time" hits, and the unnaturally tough Tyson Baine makes his way to his feet! Baine and RDJ share a bit of an akward glance, before both turning their attention to The Syndicate's Co-leaders on the stage, and we have that image as we fade to commercial break!

Post-match, Sam Keith and Tommy Cornell attack Baine, only for Ricky Dale Johnson to make the save! Ricky Dale picks up Cornell's TCW World Heavyweight Title for a moment, and clearly signals who he thinks the next champion is, before tossing it back to him!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_a.jpg

Azaria: And Ricky Dale Johnson makes the save for Tyson Baine - The Syndicate aren't going to have their way without a fight!

Vibert: You know, I'd say there's a friendship building between RDJ and Baine, but I've followed Baine's career for far too long to suspect something like that..

Azaria: Yeah, Baine's always been pretty adamant about the fact that he isn't one for friends. But I do beleive a lot of respect has formed between these two former rivals, and recent tag partners! And it seems as though The Syndicate's strength in numbers has definately weakened lately!

Vibert: Speaking of The Syndicate, and it's numbers weakining, our Main Event is up next! Brent Hill, the man who just over a month ago was kicked out of The Syndicate in brutal fashion, takes on The Syndicate's golden boy, Wolf Hawkins, for the International Championship!

Azaria: Oh man, am I excited for this - Wolf Hawkins vs. Brent Hill, the same match-up that delivered a five-star classic at The War To Settle The Score! Will this match be able to live up to the hype?!

Vibert: For most matches, the kind of expectations latched onto this one would be impossible to meet, but I'd be surprised if this match wasn't even better then the one last Sunday, because that was the very first time either men had fought each other. Now these two know each other a lot better, and will know a lot more of what to expect!

Azaria: You definately have a point, Phil! That International Title match is up next, right after this commercial break! I can't wait!

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/WolfHawkins1.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/BrentHill.jpg
TCW International Championship
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/TCW_International_alt2.jpg

vs.

We come back to hear "Clint Eastwood" by The Gorillaz hit, and the fans jeering goes right on cue with it, as out saunders Wolf Hawkins, still looking as confident as ever, despite the failed attempt of an attack on Hill about an hour ago! Hawkins does his typical entrance, going to the ring with his typical swagger, and it seems the Illinois sect of the TCW Faithful may be more anti-Hawkins then most, as the initial roar of jeers is sustained as Hawkins walks across the apron, his typical confused look being highlighted even more then usual. He decides to take a little page out of his Syndicate co-leader Sam Keith's book, and shoots a forearm jerk to them on the apron, not endearing himself to them at all. Displeased with the reaction, Hawkins decides to forego his usual in-ring entrance, and simply slips between the ropes, likely very eager to get this match started. "Faint" by Linkin Park hits to an absolutely massive reception, and Brent Hill comes out with his International Title around his waist, and his fist stuck high up in the air as he goes the ramp, staring at young Hawkins with fire in his eyes. He seems very determined as he enters the ring, and he walks right up to Wolf. Wolf lets Brent know what he thinks of him, but the current International Champ doesn't seem to be listening, simply staring into the (rather creepy) eyes of Hawkins, seeming to be the face of intensity..

The bell rings, and not a split second after, Hill whips Hawkins to the ropes, and goes for the Flapjack, but he takes one too many steps back, and Hawkins grabs onto the top rope, and flings himself onto the apron! Hawkins then shoots off the top rope with what appears to be a Springboard Seated Senton attempt, but Hill dodges that, and Hawkins lands on his feet! Hill tries to capitolize on this miscue with a German Suplex, but Hawkins rolls through with it and again lands on his feet. Hawkins then goes for a second Springboard, this time trying for a Leg Lariat, but Hill is able to duck it as well! Hawkins slides onto the mat upon landing, and swiftly springs up to face Hill, and they both stop short, in fighting poses, as the fans cheer this little stalemate. The match continues on like this for a bit, with neither man being able to get an advantage - or keep it very long, when they start to build momentum. This continues until at one point Hill nails a Snap Powerslam. Instead of going for the cover, Hill decides to go up top for a Moonsault attempt! But he takes a bit too long, and, in showing his athleticism, Hawkins nips up to his feet, then jumps up onto the top turnbuckle all at once - before sending Hill crashing back-first off of it with a Back Superplex!

This huge move only gets a 2, but it does indeed swing the match in Wolf Hawkins' favor, where it stays for quite a few minutes. Hawkins decides at this point that he's going to show the world every last bit of his extensive arsenal, first showing his brawling game, mounting for Hill for some vicious punches. Then he starts stomping, striking and working on the left arm of Hill, before locking him a tight and deadly looking Cross Arm Breaker! Hill flails in horrid pain, at one point getting to a knee, and lifting Hawkins a bit, only for the pressure and pain to bring him back down to his back! After a few more seconds of enduring, Hill shows some ingenuity, and gets back up to a knee, before pressing Hawkin's chest downwards, thereby pinning him! Quickly seeing this predicament, Hawkins has no choice but to unwrap his legs from Hill's arm, and kick him away with both feet, thereby kicking out at 2! Hawkins sends a few more stomps to the now bad arm, before, all in one motion, again jumping to the top turnbuckle, and springing right off it for a Picture Perfect Moonsault! Hawkins looks quite confident in himself as he covers Hill, but Hill kicks out at 2, much to Hawkins' anger!

Hawkins now switches to the puro-ish style that his mentor inexplicably mastered at some unknown point of his life, but he gets far too arrogant, at one point going as far as letting Hill get to his feet, just so he can knock him back down. But this backfires on the first attempt, as Hill ducks Hawkins' attempt at a Roundhouse Kick to the head, and the force of the blow causes Hawkins to turn his back to Hill - leaving him wide open for a massive German Suplex from Hill! Hill bridges, but Hawkins barely kicks out at 2! But Hill keeps the offensive up all the same, hitting some more huge moves in the next couple minutes, including the Flapjack he attempted earlier, and a Running Seated Powerbomb, from corner to corner, but both only garner a nearfall! After a minute or so of a beatdown, Hill takes Hawkins to the mat with a Full Nelson Suplex, before going up to the top rope! He poses to the fans for a bit, and Azaria speculates that he might be going for the King Of The Hill Flying Legdrop, but suddenly Hill stops in his tracks, as he sees someone going down the rampway...

..and it turns out to be John Anderson, still suited! The pop the fans got from seeing Hill go up top quickly dissapates into venomous jeers as the still-injured Anderson slowly comes down to ringside! Hill shoots a glance back over to the still downed Hawkins, before jumping down to the apron, to shout at his former tag partner to leave. Anderson is still and unmoving, but the unrelenting anger of Hill at the sight of his former best friend is completely apparant. But as he bickers, Wolf Hawkins gets up to a knee, and sees the altercation. Thinking quickly, Hawkins runs up behind Hill, and grabs him around the neck, launching him downwards, hot shotting the back of his neck into the top rope! Anderson moves to the side to avoid Hill as he falls to the floor! IE Referee Sabanobu Koruba tries to keep Hawkins in the ring, but has no such luck, as Hawkins swiftly departs and throws Hill back in. Hawkins follows him into the ring via a Slingshot Leg Drop. A cover on this only garners a nearfall, however.

Hawkins keeps on the offensive once again here, mixing the Puro style kicks with an occassional flashy move. But the flare almost backfires in a massive way when Hawkins hits a beautiful Crossbody off the top, only for Brent to roll through and cover him, and Hawkins just narrowly kicks out from this! Enraged by this, Hawkins quickly responds with a harsh Tornado DDT, planting Hill headfirst into the mat! Unmercifully, Hawkins does not go for the cover, instead lifting Hill for a Gutwrench Powerbomb! Hawkins seems to think he's got Hill finished here, but Brent Hill continues to show his toughness by kicking out! Hawkins starts to get frustrated here, and starts stalking Hill, waiting for him to get up! As soon as he does, Hawkins dashes forward with a New Moon Rising attempt - but Hill catches the leg, and nails Hawkins with a Capture Suplex! Hill pulls Hawkins back up, and sets him up for the Revenge Tour '08 Double Underhook Facebuster - but pauses when he sees John Anderson jumping up to the apron! Hill takes a moment to give Anderson a peice of his mind, which gives Hawkins enough time to Back Body Drop out of the Revenge Tour '08 attempt!

Hawkins takes a glance over at Anderson, to see Sabanobu Koruba abmonishing him. Seeing that the referee is distracted, Hawkins makes his way over to the corner, and undoes the top turnbuckle pad, leaving the steel turnbuckle exposed! Hawkins hits Hill with a quick Leg Lariat, before trying to whip him into the exposed turnbuckle - but Hill counters, whipping Hawkins into it instead! Hawkins stumbles back into Hill - only to be nailed with a Tiger Suplex, dropping him right on his head! Hill could likely get the victory on this, but he instead glares at Anderson, who has by now dropped back to ringside. Perhaps sending a message to Anderson, Hill prolongs this match by a bit, going up to the top rope, and diving off for a massive King Of The Hill legdrop! Before Hawkins can even finish recoiling, Hill pulls him up, and kicks him in the stomach - before absolutely planting him with the Revenge Tour '08! Hawkins faces bounces off the mat from impact, and Hill covers - for the victory!

Brent Hill wins, via pinfall, after hitting the Revenge Tour '08, at 21:35

Azaria: And Hill gets it! Hill gets it! Brent Hill is still the TCW International Champion!

Vibert: What a match! What a damned match!

Azaria: This match went even longer then the one at The War To Settle The Score, another incredible contest between these two elite-level performers!

Vibert: And look at the staredown here - Hill and Anderson's eyes are locked onto each other's!

Azaria: The tension is thick enough for a knife, Phil! But signing off from this week's TCW Total Wrestling, I'm Jason Azaria-

Vibert: - I'm Phil Vibert -

Azaria: -and we shall see you, next week!

That's the advantage of having "Performance = Popularity" I guess. If everything is in the right place, even just a bit, you get good grades. My guess is that your match would have bombed if it was just either popularity or Performance based.

KoRn's "Twisted Transistor" plays, as TCW Underground's intro fades in, showing clips of all sorts of differant TCW matches and wrestlers, albeit with a good few more Lower Carders in it then with TCW Total Wrestling's, to keep the video from being false advertising..eventually, the clips crack, then shatter, to reveal the 2,000 fans at the Grissom Auditorium! They likely don't expect a PPV-level show, but they still seem more then excited for tonight, and in the booth, is former interviewer Shawn Doakes, and the former Total Wrestling announcer, Kyle Rhodes!

Acid got a pretty nice reception here, and it seems Freddy Huggins' antics have earned him a good bit of scorn. Despite this and the fact that the match was a pretty nice back and forth one, the result of it was never in any real question. After seven and a half minutes of Acid putting on a show, and Huggins countering with cheap tactics to keep himself in it, Acid finished off the "Teen Idol" after the Aciditic Trifecta '®' - a spit of the aciditic mist, followed swiftly by the Acid Rain Bomb, and the Acidity Test STF, which secured the victory for the DAVE Alumni.

Acid wins, via submission, after locking in the Acidity Test, at 7:33

Rhodes: And a good win for Acid.

Doakes: I suspect this victory over the multiple time All-Action champ will keep Acid right into the thick of the All-Action Title scene!

Rhodes: I suspect the same, Shawn, and-..hmm.

Doakes: Seems Ultimo Pheonix here isn't very patient, he's listed in this next match on our program, and isn't wasting any time coming out here!

In-Ring Segment

Indeed, only about 10 seconds into Acid's celebration, his theme, "Ugly" by The Exies is cut off by Metallica's "Battery". Ultimo Pheonix's mystique filled entrance follows, as he comes up from under the smoke-filled stage, adorned in a black and sky blue cape, which he quickly sheds.

He makes his way down to the ramp, and exchanges glances with his fellow masked man Acid, before sliding into the ring.

At first, Pheonix focuses on the stage, awaiting the entrance of his opponent..but then he spots Freddy Huggins, being helped up by his sister Lauren. Remembering Huggins' shady victory over him in his debut last week, Pheonix swiftly dashes over to the siblings! Seeing this, Laura makes her leave from the ring, and as she does so, Freddy gets floored with a Roundhouse Kick right to the temple! A now dazed Freddy Huggins falls over and rolls out from the ring. Pheonix smiles, and the fans seem to like it as well.

Soon afterwards, Exilia's "Can't Break Me" hits, and out comes Black Eagle for the match.

Doakes: Ooh, a little payback for that low blow from last week?

Rhodes: I guess..but a cheapshot's a cheapshot, Shawn.

Doakes: Eh, I suppose you're right..

Ultimo Phoenix vs.

This match was pretty good, but neither of these guys are very over, which made this match a rather quiet one. Phoenix and Eagle both tried for reactions with their high spots, but no dice. But despite the lack of love/hate either way, Phoenix still gets an okay reaction when he puts Eagle away with the Phoenix Firebird Splash.

Ultimo Phoenix wins, via pinfall, after hitting the Phoenix Firebird Splash, at 7:52

Rhodes: And Phoenix puts away Black Eagle.

Doakes: Phoenix looking very impressive here in TCW, and- oh wait!

In-Ring Segment

Just as Phoenix begins celebrating, in comes Freddy Huggins from behind, who never left ringside! Phoenix gets taken down with the Hug Goodbye!

Freddy smiles, and so does his sister Lauren once she comes in. Sublime's "Seed" hits, as Freddy does an arrogant little bow for the fans, who jeer him a good bit.

Doakes: And Huggins with an assault from behind!

Rhodes: You seemed fine with behind-the-back assaults when Phoenix did it, Shawn..

Doakes: I never said I condoned it, Kyle. I just saw it as a bit more justified of an attack then the one we just saw.

Rhodes: Well, in any case, up next we have JD Morgan taking on Clark Alexander.

Doakes: Should be a fine technical match-up!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/JDMorgan.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/ClarkAlexander.jpg

vs. Clark Alexander

After the attack on Marquez earlier in the week, JD Morgan gets a pretty heated reaction, whereas Clark Alexander gets a slightly better pop tonight then the one he got a few days beforehand. This match was pretty much what was expected - a back and forth technical affair, that was about 55% Morgan, 45% Alexander. The Total Faithfull once again show their love of variety, as they respond to the intricate chain wrestling with about as much vigor as they do the exciting showings of athleticism that was seen in the first two matches of the night. But in the end, the match's ending was pretty much as predicted - after a little over 8 minutes, Morgan countered the Hawaiin Breaker DDT into a Spinebuster. Morgan quickly floats over and locks Alexander into the Cross Atlantic Stretch. Alexander flails painfully on the mat, and is made to look strong, holding on for a good 20 seconds, before finally tapping out.

JD Morgan wins, via submission, after locking Alexander into the Cross Atlantic Stretch, at 8:33

Rhodes: And JD Morgan with an impressive victory.

Doakes: Morgan finally gets his first TCW win.

Rhodes: And I don't think it'll be his last, either.

Backstage Segment

Cut to the back for an interview with Antonio Marquez. He tells us that he was elated this Tuesday to get his first victory, even though JD Morgan made sure that it was a bittersweet one. Marquez then contacted the audiance of the Grissom Auditorium, commanding them to make a lot of noise, a command that they are pleased to follow. When Saunders asked of the condition of Marquez's back, the former Soap Opera Star swiftly turns serious, telling her that is back is fine - good enough, in fact, to wrestle on the next Total Wrestling, which is exactly what he's going to be doing - in a grudge rematch with JD Morgan!

vs. Edd Stone

Marquez got probably the best reception of anyone to appear on TCW Underground so far - his crisp, all-around style, charismatic look and entrance, and the mass of heart he has shown in his first month with the company has really won them over. Meanwhile, Edd Stone doesn't endear himself to them much, at one point ripping a Ricky Dale Johnson sign right from the hands of one, and throwing it to the ground, stomping on it a few times, just for the hell of it, laughing all the while. Once in the ring, this is likely the most exciting match of the night, and perhaps the ones the fans were most into as well. At one point, we saw a rather dangerous spot - Stone cowardly leaves the ring, and taunts a few fans at ringside, so, in one swift motion, Marquez jumps to the top rope, twists around, and then nails a beautiful Moonsault on Stone. After nearly nine minutes of a fine bout, Marquez ended it with the combanation of the Champagne Sunrise, and the Champagne Breakfast, swiftly securing the submission.

Antonio Marquez wins, via submission, after locking Edd Stone into the Champagne Breakfast, at 8:55

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_c.jpg

Rhodes: And the second win in a week for Antonio Marquez.

Doakes: I really think Phil Vibert made a fairly safe bet when he labeled Antonio Marquez as a future World Heavyweight Champion! This guy is absolutely phenominal!

Rhodes: You see a lot of young high fliers in the business, a lot of young brawlers in the business, and a good bit of young technicians, but there are very few men of Antonio Marquez' age, that is a world class wrestler in all three categories.

Doakes: No fake, Antonio Marquez is the real deal! But folks, up next, is our maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain event!

Rhodes: Indeed. Steve Flash vs. Robert Oxford, after this word from our sponsers.

***Commercial Break***

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/SteveFlash.jpg VS. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/RobertOxford.jpg

Steve Flash vs. Robert Oxford

The amount of respect that the fans truly seem to feel for the legendary Steve Flash is truly enormous, and is heard fullscale as just about everyone in the audiance lets their voice be known in cheering him. Robert Oxford, however, seems to have little respect from the audiance - or atleast, little audible respect. Still, this did not keep them from applauding after the opening exchange of Oxford and Flash's chain wrestling, which actually takes them to the outside, only for the battle of supremacy to continue. Oxford eventually gets control, then abruptly ends the exchange by shoving Flash's head into the ring apron, before throwing him into the ring. Once he's there however, Flash tries to catch him with with a Short Arm Clothesline - Oxford ducks it, goes for a Back Suplex, but Flash floats behind Oxford. Flash goes for what appears to be a Dragon Sleeper, but Oxford is quick to slip out of it, before shoving Flash away and the two have a bit of a staredown - all of that in the span of about 5 seconds, mind you - as the crowd applauds the stalement, as wrestling crowds have been accustomed to doing.

Throughout this match, Steve Flash tremendous selling abilities come fully into play, as he is able to both gain some sympathy and make Robert Oxford look more dangerous then even Rick Law did days beforehand, when he gained a look of terror at the prospect of Oxford Back Body Dropping him to the floor. This convincing selling makes it all the more well executed, when he starts a comeback by countering a Bulldog attempt with a Back Suplex. A few high impact moves later, Flash sets Oxford up for the Flash Bang, only to be caught with a thumb to the eyes! Oxford tries to set Flash up for the Samoan Drop, but Flash elbows his way back to his feet - before nailing the Flash Bang! Oxford recoils from the hot shot, groggily stumbling towards the middle of the ring. Seeing Oxford in this state, Flash decides to further secure the win by debuting a new manuever - a Double Knee Facebreaker (Codebreaker) that Shawn Doakes dubs the "Whiplash" - which brings this match to an end!

Steve Flash wins, via pinfall, after hitting Robert Oxford with the Whiplash, at 9:07

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_c.jpg

Doakes: Wow! What a move, and what a match!

Rhodes: Indeed that was a fine affair, with a fine ending.

Doakes: Second straight win for Steve Flash, after beating JD Morgan last week on TCW Underground's first episode.

Rhodes: Yes it is, and I think that-

Doakes: Hey, Hey!

In-Ring Segment

Almost as soon as Steve Flash's celebration begins, Joel Bryant suddenly runs in, and pulls Steve Flash off of the top rope to the mat!

Steve Flash's theme, "The Final Countdown" by Europe is swiftly replaced by a chorous of boos, as Bryant lays down some stomps onto Flash!

Bryant pulls Flash up by the hair, and then levels him with the One Shot Drop!

Bryant poses for the fans a bit, as Robert Oxford slowly pulls himself up via the ropes, then stumbles over for a few stomps on Flash as well!

Bryant signals to Oxford, and "The Phenom" makes his way up to the second rope, for his Finishing Knee Drop!

The Tag Team Specialists lay into Steve Flash with a couple more stomps, before raising their arms up in triumph, much to the fans displeasure, as "Them Bones" by Alice In Chains hits.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/Zeel1/grade_cminus.jpg

Doakes: What was that all about?!

Rhodes: I suppose the Tag Team Specialists felt a message needed to be sent..

Doakes: The only message they sent to me here was that they're sore losers!

Rhodes: Perhaps, Shawn. But the Tag Team Specialists have long-since heralded themselves as the greatest veterans in the business. Perhaps they already resented Steve Flash, due to him stealing that status, somewhat..

Doakes: Well, in any case..I'm Shawn Doakes -

Rhodes: - I'm Kyle Rhodes -

Doakes: - and we shall see you, next Thursday!

- "Phoenix" is a bitch to spell right on the first attempt. Seriously, just try and find someone who never once screwed it up. I dare you!

- I know it may seem a bit..wrong isn't the word, but not really cool to change the finisher of a legendary veteran such as Flash, who has likely been using the Flash Bang for a long time, but..I mean seriously, a Hot Shot as a finisher? ...For a babyface?
