Ascension 22

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is the Finals of the Gold Rush Tournament and is scheduled for one fall!

Gordito makes his way out to a loud pop from the crowd.

Phoenix makes his way out to a booing crowd.

The two men trash talk each other in the middle of the ring and begin shoving one another when suddenly.

Ty and Serafina take a seat next to the announcer's table. Phoenix and Gordito look down at Ty and he nods back to them and holds the WZCW World Title out in front of him almost to tantalize them.The ref signals for the bell and Gordito gets caught off guard by Phoenix who kicks him in the midsection and begins stomping away at him in the corner.

Phoenix rushes forward and goes for a leg lariat but Gordito moves and Phoenix crashes hard into the turnbuckle.

Gordito gets up and drags Phoenix to his feet before hitting a few well placed punches. He whips Phoenix into the ropes and sends him flying with a back body drop.

Copeland: Gordito is certainly in his element on the outside. He was a major player in the Mayhem division before reaching this point.

Cohen: Nothing but a garbage wrestler, once Phoenix gets flying around the ring Gordito won't be able to keep up.

Gordito poses for the crowd while Ty mockingly claps along with them. Gordito looks over at Ty and walks over to him, staring him down. Ty looks up uninterested and points towards the ring steps. Gordito turns around and Phoenix levels him with a spinning heel kick.

The crowd begins booing as Phoenix stands over Gordito before dragging him over to the corner. He climbs up to the top turnbuckle and signals for The Final Flight. He jumps off the turnbuckle but crashes hard as Gordito moves out of the way. Gordito gets up and grabs Phoenix, trapping his arms and begins headbutting him over and over again. Finally one last headbutt drops Phoenix hard to the ground. Gordito stumbles back for a moment before climbing the top turnbuckle. He waits for Phoenix to get up and comes flying off with a crossbody of his own but Phoenix hits a Koppu Kick mid air and lands hard on the mat. Phoenix goes for the cover but only gets a two count as Gordito kicks out at the last second. Phoenix gets up clearly looking frustrated. He stands in the corner and waits for Gordito. He gets up and Phoenix goes for Rebirth! Gordito ducks the kick and hits Phoenix in the midsection and quickly connects with the Meteor of War! He covers Phoenix and gets the three count!

Harrys: Here is your winner of the Gold Rush Tournament, Gordito!

Copeland: Incredible! Gordito is going on to All or Nothing to face Ty Burna for the WZCW World Title!

Cohen: This is a travesty! Phoenix had Gordito right where he wanted him!

Gordito gets up and the ref raises his hand as Phoenix slowly rolls out of the ring. Ty stands up and enters the ring slowly, applauding Gordito's effort. Gordito turns and notices Ty and points towards him and motions for the title. Ty walks up and the two staredown for a few moments before Ty raises the WZCW World Title high up into the air.

Copeland: Our World Title match has now been set. Gordito versus Ty Burna!

Ty and Gordito continue to stare each other down as the crowd buzzes loudly.

*Pyros go off*​

The camera pans around the arena showing off the fans and their signs until it focuses on the ring as Constantine stands in the middle of it.

Constantine: Greetings to the WZCW Universe!

The crowd boos heavily.

Your hero will be seizing the moment at All or Nothing, because I, John Constantine, will be leaving their as your EurAsian Champion in his first ever attempt at the gold. Now granted, I should be the Elite X Champion by now and set to hold the belts together, but how many other people can say they beat the Elite X Champion? Chris Beckford? Please. Baez? Not good enough to face him. Michael Winters? Who? Blade? A greater joke than Beckford and then there's the mystery sixth opponent. Who's it going to be? Mr. Baller? Doug Crashin? Jordan Lights?

The crowd continues to boo at him.

Chuck Myles better just hand me over the belt like he should have done and save these "competitors" the embarrassment. This like me running in a voters poll unopposed, simple one, two, three and I'm done.

"Enya Stomp" starts playing as Chris Beckford, Baez and Michael Winters come out.

Beckford: John, didn't you hear the news? The EurAsian Championship is being contended over in an All or Nothing special, the first three people who get pinned are eliminated, then it's down to the final three to get the first pin, meaning the EurAsian Champion will be selected from the finest of the six. While myself and my colleagues here don't appreciate your choice of words, you do realise you've made things harder for yourself? While it's every man for themselves, it's sure not going to be a problem eliminating the most hate man in the match.

Constantine doesn't take likely to the words being said as the crowd cheer in support.

Constantine: How dare you insult a man of my stature?! I should have you removed from the match, then who will be laughing?

Baez: I believe Chuck Myles is given he named that match. Now we suggest you leave the ring and show us what you got at All or Nothing, or we could help stop your mouth running off like it is!

The crowd cheers as Constantine starts smiling and trying to reason with the three guys who stand near the ring. He then drops the mic and then runs off through the crowd, the others follow until up towards the barricade as they head off back with smirks on their faces.

Connor: Constantine is treading dangerous grounds to provoke the other competitors right before All or Nothing and that chance at the EurAsian Championship. Cat Connors and Jack Cohen here, we're at ringside for Ascension.

We cut backstage to Constantine who's in the carpark, he's signalling over to one of the limos as it starts running the motor.

Constantine: Make a fool of me! I'll show them, then I'll be laughing last!

He gets in the limo and slams the door as it drives off.

Cohen: Despite me agreeing with Constantine, should we get on with some matches now?

Connor: Yes, let's do. Coming up we got the Tag Team Champions in action taking on some of our newest roster members, let's get to it!

 

[Phoenix]

Anderson: The following Tag Team Match is scheduled for one fall!

Conner: The tag team champs look pumped here tonight as they try to put behind their loss last week to Brothers In Arms.

Cohen: Yea, but from what I hear communication has been non existent between betwen the champs. And the rap version of Butch Cassidy and The Sun Dance Kid may pick up a big win here tonight.

Tucker kicks out.

Connor: The tag team champs haven't gotten off to a good start here tonight

Cohen: That's cause they are the tag team champions of circumstances CC. These guys don't know how to be an efficent team, like Cooper and Hays are being.

Cooper pulls Tucker a bit away from the corner and turns him over. Cooper grabs Tuckers legs and rolls him over into a Boston Crab. Tucker screams out in pain, but the corner he's facing is his opponents. Steele's had enough and runs in, but Cooper points him out and the ref stops him. Steele argues with the ref as Hays comes in and starts stomping on him. Cooper steps out and Hays takes control as Steele exits the ring. Hays picks up Tucker and locks in a standing sleeper hold.

He lifts Tucker up, but Tucker swings back down and flips Hays over his head. Both men up quickly. They charge at each other and knock each other down with a clothesline. Tucker and Hays crawl towards their corners. Cooper is yelling at the top of his lungs, drawing the refs attention. Tucker makes the tag and Steele runs in the ring.

Steele gets up holding his knee. Cooper comes up from behind and puts Steele in a reverse DDT position. He blows on his hand once like a mic, and hits Testing, Testing, check. He goes for the cover. 1... 2... 3.

Anderson: Here are your winners. The Say Hays Kid and Justin Cooper!

Justin stands up and smiles satisfied with his victory. Tucker slides into the ring to check on his partner as Cooper exits the ring and meets Hays on the ramp, both men raise their arms as the slowly exit.

Connor: The struggles continue for the Tag Team Champs.

Cohen: You meant to say Chumps, these guys were awful out there.

Tucker is trying to appoligise to Steele. Steele is fusterated with the loss. Both men start arguing in the ring as Steven Kurtesy comes through the crowd and slides in with a steel chair. Steele sees Kurtesy and pushes Tucker out of the way, taking the full force of the chair shot. Tucker gets up and starts punching Kurtesy, causing him to drop the chair.

He swings Steele meekly around as his arms are limp. He finally drops Steele and the 2 men stand over him. Crashin lets Tucker go, who crawls into the ring to check on his partner. Kurtesy and Holmes exit the ring and all 3 men walk up the ramp, satisified with what they've done as EMT's rush down to check on Steele.

Connor: I don't think we've seen a more dispicable group than the Crashin Movement.

Cohen: What are you talking about? These guys are geniuses. They are taking out their competition one by one, and no doubt are aiming to be the top of the tag division.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We cut backstage to Becky Serra and Chris Jones.

Becky: I'm here with the former Mayhem Champion Chris Jones who says he has an important announcement.

Jones grabs the mic from Becky and stares right into the camera.

Jones: Wunderbar, you must feel pretty proud of yourself after stealing my Mayhem Championship last night at Meltdown. It won't happen again I promise you that. At All or Nothing I'm invoking my rematch clause and I will prove who the true Mayhem Champion is Wunderbar, and your German ass won't be able to stop me.

Jones forcefully hands the mic back to Becky and Jones walks away. Becky looks towards Jones before looking into the camera.

Becky: Well you heard it hear first. Chris Jones will take on Wilhelm Wunderbar at All or Nothing for the Mayhem Title!

 

[Phoenix]

Anderson: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall!”

Wake up by Rage Against The Machine hits as Sam Smith emerges.

“On his way to the ring, from Washington DC, weighing 235lbs, this is Sam Smith!”

Methodical and cocky, Smith struts to the ring.

The music switches to Suicide Messiah by Black Label Society, as well as the tone of the crowd, as Jordan Lights comes out pumping his first into the air. He stops and stares at Baller on the stage, with Baller returning the favor.

Anderson: And his opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 255 pounds, "The Justice" Jordan Lights!

Lights does not take his focus off Smith as he enters the ring, with both men getting face to face.


Lights and Smith tie up and quickly Lights uses his superior height and weight advantage force Smith into the ropes. Smith sneaks out by wriggling underneath the marginally taller Lights and almost eats a dropkick. But he avoids it by ducking backwards with a spectacular agility. Both men face off with eyes dead on each other

Connor: “Awesome agility by Sam Smith.”

They tie up again but Smith immediately wrings the arm to take control. He kicks Lights in the knee and then plants him face-first with a bulldog. He drags him back up before scooping Lights up and dropping him flat on his back.

Cohen: “This is a great start by Sam Smith. Everyone is being taken aback by the technical ability of the new guy. He looks like he has everything.”

Smith grabs Lights’ right arm and wrenches it hard before dragging him to the corner. He shoves his shoulder hard to Lights’ midriff and repeats it a couple of times. He pauses and steps away before taking a running start but Lights kicks him in the face. Smith crumples to his knees. Lights grabs him head and hits him with his knees a couple of times. This gets a great cheer from the crowd.

Connor: “The veteran Jordan Lights is as popular as ever and is fighting back here.”

Cohen: “Lights needs to go back to tagging already; he is less boring when there are more people in the match.”

Lights backs off before running and launching himself. His forearm smashes into Smith’s cheek, which floors the rookie. Lights goes for a cover. 1...2...Smith kicks out firmly.

Smith rolls onto his stomach but Lights picks him up before he rolls away. Lights whips Smith across the ring and as he comes back, he eats a big boot from Lights. He is clearly feeling the momentum and signals for the C.Y.A. As Smith rises, he sees Lights and manages to evade him by blocking the set-up kick. He keeps hold of the leg and forces him to the floor. He tries to set up for his own move, the Double Jeopardy.

Lights screams but Smith doesn’t have the hold on forcefully, he drags himself to the ropes. The ref forces Smith to break the hold but as soon as he does, he stomps on Lights and forces him to the floor.

Smith rolls outside himself and stalks Lights as he drags himself up using the ring apron. As he gets upright, Smith charges and hits a huge clothesline.

Connor: “Jordan Lights was practically flipped inside out by that clothesline!”

Smith rolls inside which forces the ref to count Lights out.

Cohen: “See, I told you Sam Smith was smart!”

1...2...3...4. Lights is barely getting to his feet while Smith cockily laughing in the ring. The ref reaches nine just as Lights attempts to climb in the ring. Smith grows frustrated and pulls Lights in. He immediately goes for a cover but only gets two, before Lights forces himself out of it.

Smith grabs a front facelock before grabbing Lights’ trunk and snapping him to the mat with a suplex. As he looks pleased with himself, he repeats the move, getting even more momentum behind the impact.

Cohen: “Ow!”

Smith picks up Lights again. He taunts him for a second before moving to hit a Northern Lights suplex. As he lifts him up, Lights flips around, moves his body weight and plants Smith with a DDT. Lights goes for a cover, 1...2, that’s a long two count but Smith just about kicks out.

Connor: “Sam Smith doesn’t want this match to end just yet. Does he sense a huge victory?”

Cohen: ”Of course he does, he is on the roads to big things!”

Lights grabs Smith’s neck and locks in a sleeper hold. Smith flaps about trying to get out of it but Lights is able to keep on top. Smith then uses his leg strength to push both him and Lights up. Once he gets to his knees, he forces Lights into the corner with an impact that forces Lights to release the hold.

Connor: “Clever escape by Smith!”

Smith turns and waits for Lights and then tries to slam him down with a spinebuster but Lights counters it with a swinging neckbreaker! Lights is up much quicker and signals for the CYA! He kicks Smith in the gut, lifts him up and drops him on his head with the brainbuster!! Lights covers him and the ref counts, 1...2...3!!!

Connor: “A good win for Jordan Lights! Bu-”

Cohen: “Smith got screwed!”

Connor: “Stop your jabbering!”

-----------------------
We're backstage in the parking lot as the EMTs are taking Alexander Steele out on a stretcher to an ambulance. Tucker Graham watches on in disbelief as his partner is carried away. He clenches the Tag Team Championships tightly as he gets a tap on the shoulder, he turns to reveal its Brad Bomb.

Bomb: Think you and I need to talk, it appears we have a common problem in hand!

They both walk off as the ambulance drives off.

 

[Phoenix]

Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Enya Stomp hits and the crowd lets out a pop. Chris Beckford makes his way out and does his signature taunt on the stage before running down to the ring.

Anderson: Introducing first, from Leeds, England, Chris Beckford!

Connor: And here comes one sixth of the EurAsian title match at All or Nothing.

Cohen: Ridiculous! It’s ridiculous that he gets another title shot when the likes of Constantine and Blade are so deserving!

He jumps onto the turnbuckle and does his taunt again before backflipping off. Clubbed to Death hits and Ferbian emerges. He walks slowly down to the ring, smirking.

Anderson: And his opponent, from Copenhagen, Denmark, Ferbian!

He looks out disrespectfully at the crowd before getting into the ring. He measures up Beckford, who is quickly jumping up and down, looking pumped. The referee calls for the bell and the two wrestlers start circling each other. They lock up in the centre and Beckford gets the advantage with the headlock, but Ferbian quickly pushes him off, sending him into the ropes. Beckford returns and Ferbian leans forward for the Back Body Drop, but Beckford leaps over him and goes into the ropes on the opposite side. Beckford comes back with a huge flying clothesline, taking Ferbian down. The crowd give a loud cheer as Beckford stands up and backs off. Ferbian sits up, looking slightly shocked before getting back up and shaking his head. The two quickly lock up again but this time Ferbian gives Beckford a knee to the gut and follows up with an axe-handle to the back. Beckford falls to his knees and Ferbian kicks him full force in the face before going for the pin, 1... 2... Beckford kicks out. Ferbian starts to stomp on Beckford’s head before picking Beckford up and lifting him up for a suplex. But Beckford counters, landing behind Ferbian and dropkicks him in the back, sending him outside the ring. Ferbian slowly gets to his feet with help of the crowd barricade but Beckford runs and jumps through the ropes, taking out Ferbian with a suicide dive, making the crowd let out a big cheer. Beckford gets up and does his signature taunt before rolling Ferbian into the ring and going for a pin, 1... 2... Ferbian kicks out. Beckford starts climbing the top rope and waits for Ferbian to get up. Ferbian gets to his feet and Beckford leaps off the top rope going for a missile dropkick but Ferbian kicks him out of the air with a big boot. Ferbian catches his breath for a moment before going for the pin, 1... 2.... kick out by Beckford.

Connor: The newcomer has been impressive here so far!

Ferbian stands over Beckford before delivering a fist drop to his skull. He goes for another pin, 1... 2... Beckford kicks out. Ferbian picks a dazed Beckford up and hits him with a European Uppercut, making Beckford stumble backwards into the corner. Ferbian runs at Beckford, going for a splash in the corner, but Beckford rolls out of the way and Ferbian collides with the turnbuckles and bounces backwards. Beckford jumps onto Ferbian’s shoulders, going for a Hurricanrana but Ferbian reverses, powerbombing Beckford! Ferbian goes for a cover, 1... 2... Beckford gets a shoulder up! Ferbian pulls himself to his feet and picks up Beckford. He lifts up Beckford for a reverse Piledriver, but Beckford reverses it with a Sunset Flip pin, but Ferbian uses the momentum to roll out of the pin and onto his feet. He goes to kick Beckford in the head, but Beckford lies back, avoiding the kick, before kipping up to his feet and hitting a Dropkick! Both men are down on the mat and the referee begins the count as the crowd cheers them on loudly. At the count of 5, both men are on their knees, exchanging right hands back and forth. Beckford quickly jumps to his feet and nails Ferbian with an Enziguiri! He goes for the pin, 1... 2... Ferbian gets a shoulder up! Beckford picks Ferbian up and places him on the turnbuckle. He motions to the crowd, who cheer back at him before hitting the Top Rope DDT! Beckford goes for the pin, 1... 2... Ferbian gets a shoulder up again!

Beckford lets out a sigh of frustration before getting up. He measures up Ferbian, signalling for the Cross Drop. Ferbian finally gets to his feet and turns around into a kick to the gut from Beckford, who then goes for the Cross Drop, but Ferbian goes behind Beckford and hits a devastating German Suplex. The two men lie motionless on the mat as again the ref starts to count again. Both men use the ropes to get to their feet and start exchanging shots. Ferbian gains the advantage, hitting Beckford with right hands, making him go backwards into the corner. Ferbian goes for a clothesline, but Beckford ducks under it and dropkicks Ferbian into the corner. Beckford Irish Whips Ferbian across the ring into the opposite corner. Beckford runs at Ferbian, but Ferbian bursts out of the corner, hitting the Deal Breaker! Ferbian crawls over to Beckford and covers him. 1.... 2.... Beckford gets a shoulder up and Ferbian can’t believe it!

Connor: Can you believe the heart of Beckford tonight! He is just not staying down!

Cohen: He better hope he can do that at All or Nothing!

Ferbian slams the mat with his fist and argues with referee, who insists it was a two count. Ferbian gets up and, while the referee is checking on Beckford, takes the padding off a top turnbuckle. Ferbian picks up Beckford and Irish Whips him into the exposed turnbuckle, but Beckford jumps straight up to the top rope, before jumping off, turning in mid-air and hitting Ferbian with a Crossbody! But Beckford can’t go for the pin as both men lie on the mat for a moment before slowly starting to get up. Ferbian goes for a big boot, but Beckford ducks under it, and runs into the ropes. He returns and goes for a Crucifix Head Scissors, but Ferbian stops him in the Crucifix position and turns him upside down before hitting a Reverse Piledriver! Ferbian goes for a weak cover on Beckford, 1... 2.... Beckford gets a shoulder up again! Ferbian looks furious, not being able to believe that Beckford has kicked out again. Ferbian signals for the end and goes behind Beckford. He waits till Beckford gets to his feet before grabbing him around the waist, going for The Dane, but Beckford reverses, rolling forwards, sending Ferbian into the ropes. Ferbian returns from the ropes and wildly swings a right hand, but Beckford ducks under it and hits Ferbian with a big Faceplant! Beckford drapes and arm across Ferbian’s chest, 1... 2... kick out by Ferbian! Beckford lies back on the mat for a moment before rolling out onto the apron. He uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet as Ferbian gets up inside the ring. Beckford springboards off the top rope, but Ferbian rolls forward. Beckford manages to land on his feet. Ferbian turns around, and Beckford jumps onto his shoulders, delivering a Hurricanrana that sends Ferbian face first into the exposed turnbuckle! Ferbian falls backwards onto the mat, barely conscious before Beckford climbs to the top rope. Beckford jumps off and hits the Cross County before going for the pin, 1... 2.... 3!

Anderson: Here is your winner, Chris Beckford!

Connor: What a match! The rookie gave it everything, but Beckford outsmarted Ferbian, using the exposed turnbuckle against the man who exposed it! Beckford now has some huge momentum heading into All or Nothing!

Cohen: He’s going to need it, going up against the likes of Constantine, Baez, Blade, Michael Winters and one more opponent yet to be announced! Who could it be...?

--------------------------------------
We're backstage with Vance Bateman who's in his office, he has his eyes closed before taking a deep breath as the camera moves back to show Tucker Graham and Brad Bomb with him.

Bateman: So let me get this straight. You want to vacate the Tag Team Championship so you two get some revenge against the Crashin Movement for what happen to your respective partners over the past two shows?

Both of them nod

Are you sure? I mean I can let Brad Bomb replace Steele?

Graham: With all due respect sir, I don't think it's right to replace Alex unless an official change took place.

Bateman: That's fair enough, but you left me with a problem. Since Brothers in Arms and Hays/Cooper earnt victories, they could easily compete for the belts, but you also have a right to defend them. How about a little comprimise?

Graham: Yeah?

Bateman: I'll grant you the chance to vacate the belts to go after the Crashin Movement. But you two have a chance to win the Tag Team Championship as a new team at the same time. So we'll have you two, Brothers in Arms, Hays & Cooper and the Crashin Movement compete in a Tag Team Gauntlet to determine new Tag Team Champions. What do you say?

Graham: Sounds perfect! I know I won't let Alex down, and justice will be served!

Bateman: Good, it's done then! Please hand me back the belts please.

Tucker Graham places the Tag Team Championships on top of Bateman's desk.

Better get on out of here.

Graham and Bomb exit as Bateman stands pondering.

You know, I don't think four teams is enough. I need another team, a duo that's deadly, unpredictable, dominating, a pair that stands a good chance of being Tag Team Champions.

He opens the door to find Barbosa standing behind it, leaving Bateman having a concerned look on his face before he then smiles.

 

[Phoenix]

Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

We Die Young begins playing and DK Wilton makes his way out to a a moderate amount of boos. He throws the horns up before making his way down to the ring and jumping up to the top turnbuckle. He throws the horns up one more time before hopping down into the ring.

Anderson: Introducing first, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He stands 6'3" and weighs 235 lbs, DK Wilton!

Bliss hits the PA and Blade makes his way out to a mixed reaction. He does his signature taunt at the top of the entrance ramp before walking down to the ring and sliding in. He hops up to the second turnbuckle and does his taunt once more.

Anderson: And his opponent, from Dublin, Ireleand. He stands 6'2" and weighs 235 lbs, Blade!

Connor: This match came about last week when Wilton was bragging ihmself up to one of our esteemed general managers. Blade overheard and decided he wanted to teach the rookie DK Wilton a lesson.

Cohen: I don't have a problem with Blade showing rookies up. What I have a problem with is all these rookies thinking they're World Champion material before they even set foot in this ring.

The ref signals for the bell and the two lock up in the center of the ring. Blade quickly takes advantage with an armbar and backs Wilton into the ropes and whips him across. He hits a clothesline that drops Wilton to the mat. He gets up and stomps away at Wilton before dropping a knee across the forehead. He goes for the pin and hooks a leg, getting a two count. Blade gets to his feet and drags Wilton with him. He tosses him into the corner and connects with an European uppercut. Blade backs up and readies for a clothesline attempt and rushes forward. Wilton gets his foot up and kicks Blade away. Blade turns back towards Wilton and Wilton connects with a quick dropkick, sending Blade to the ground. Wilton connects with a knee drop and goes for a pin of his own, getting a two count.

Connor: Wilton has taken control here but he took a beating at the onset of this match Cohen. What does Wilton have to do to win?

Cohen: Stay out of his own way? His style is similar to Blade where he goes for submission maneuvers and leans towards a more technical match. I don't think Wilton wants to go that route, Blade is one of the best in the business in that field.

Wilton gets up and applies a headlock to Blade on the ground, wrenching back on his neck. Blade struggles to one knee and tries to hit a few elbows, but Wilton kicks Blade in the back of the leg before throwing Blade head first hard into the mat. Wilton applies a chin lock and keeps Blade grounded. Blade reaches out for the ropes and is fingertips touch the bottom rope but Wilton drags Blade back into the center. Blade struggles once more to one knee and this time connects with a back suplex. Both men lay on the ground and the ref begins a ten count. Blade is up to his feet at six and waits for Wilton to get up. Wilton reaches his feet and gets caught by Blade with a belly to belly suplex. Blade quickly drags Wilton up and sends him into the ropes, and lifts him up off the rebound and hits a devastating backbreaker. He covers Wilton and gets a two count.

Connor: It looks like Blade is focusing on the back of Wilton. It's a very smart move as it sets up for the Halo. I think Blade is focused on getting passed Wilton tonight and preparing for All or Nothing where he will be one of the six in the Eurasian Title match. Could he over look Wilton however?

Cohen: You can look over any opponent if a title opportunity is ahead of you CC. I don't think Blade will do that as he has that loudmouth Wilton on the ropes.

Blade does his taunt and the crowd responds to him and he walks over to pick Wilton up when Wilton hits an eye poke followed up by a small package. The ref counts to two as Blade gets out of it at the last second. Wilton and Blade both get up and Blade swings wildly at Wilton who duck sand hits a suplex and applies a bridge, getting a two count from the pin attempt. Blade backs up into the corner trying to regain his balance and Wilton comes flying in with a splash and follows up with a bulldog, sending Blade crashing into the mat. Wilton goes for another cover and gets a two count. Wilton gets up and looks frustrated. He motions for his finisher The Encore and picks Blade up in a fireman's carry. He walks to the center of the ring with a determined look on his face but Blade suddenly struggles out of the carry and hits a enziguri to the back of Wilton's head. Blade falls to his knees and breathes heavily before getting up and dragging Wilton up with him. He whips Wilton into the ropes and connects with a kick to the midsection. He lifts him up and connects with The Halo! He covers Wilton and gets the three count.

Anderson: Here is your winner, Blade!

Connor: A great victory by Blade tonight as he prepares for the Eurasian Title match at All or Nothing. Not to take anything away from DK Wilton though, he had an impressive showing tonight.

Cohen: He had some good moves yes, but at the end of the day the victory is what is most important, and Blade now has some much needed momentum going into All or Nothing.

Blade gets up and the ref raises his hand. Suddenly the lights dim low and flames appear on the Titan Tron. The flames eventually fade away and Phoenix appears on the screen.

Phoenix: I'm glad to see you're struggling with a rookie like Wilton Blade, while I've been facing the very best of WZCW. You said my destiny was in your hands, but I think you have it the wrong way Blade. You see at All or Nothing, I will be the sixth participant in that match, and you will have no choice but to watch me become the new Eurasian Champion!

Phoenix disappears and the lights come back up. Blade has his hands on his hips and shakes his head as he paces in the ring before finally exiting.

Connor: A shocking announcement from Phoenix. Now we know who the final participant in the Eurasian Title match at All or Nothing. Blade has had his hands full when it comes to Phoenix over the past couple months, this cannot make him happy.

Cohen: I thought Myles was going to announce this? Phoenix just ruined a juicy article for WZCW.com!

Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

The lights fade out except for a single spotlight on the stage with others spiralling around it until they all focus on Showtime Cougar who exits out with the Elite X Championship in a chorus of boos as he raises high in the air to the set of some golden pryos.

Anderson: Introducing first, from Winnipeg, Canada, weighing in at 213 pounds, Showtime Cougar!

Connor: Anderson rightly stating that he is NOT the Elite X Championship, for those who missed Meltdown last night here’s what happened. In a rare appearance by Austin Reynolds on Meltdown, he faced Constantine in a singles bout but he had a few surprises when he got there

Austin stands on top of the turnbuckle and posses on the corner. "Ladies and Gentlemen" cuts in and Showtime walks out dressed in usualy business attire. He holding a couple of papers in his hand and a mic..

Reynolds: I know why you're out here. You're out here to try and say that you somehow got screwed out of the match. But the fact is that didn't happen Showtime. I beat you cleanly in that ring... 1... 2... 3... everyone saw it, I have proven myself to be the greatest Elite X Champion ever... and if you're out here demanding a shot, then move to the back of the line because you had your shot.

Showtime: Of course Mr. Reynolds. You say the camera sees everything. Mr. Camera man roll that beautiful footage from last Ascension.

The titantron shows the closing minute from the Reynolds vs Showtime. Reynolds hits the Ratings Killer from the top rope. As the ref slides to make the count, Showtimes right leg moves under the bottom rope. The ref makes the 3 count without ever looking up and calls for the bell. Showtimes foot remains under the rope as the video pauses.

What is that, what does that look like to you? It looks like my foot is under the rope. So now the camera shows it, the fans now it, and now you know it, that you didn't actually win, you self absorbed, egotistical bloat.

The fans cheer as a sneer of anger crosses Austin's face.

But Austin I have your redemption right here. It is a match contract signed by Bateman and me for us to have a rematch at All or Nothing. And this won't be just a regular match... no... Austin I want to beat you more times than anyone else. That's why this match is a 30 Minute Iron Man Match!

The crowd explodes as Showtime and Reynolds go face to face.

Showtime: And if you're still a little scared to face me one on one, I'll sweeten the deal for you. There is a clause in this contract I put in myself. If you win this match Austin, then I will retire from WZCW. Something for you to think about..

Connor: So Showtime made the challenge, then he made his presence felt even more during Reynolds’ match with Constantine

Constantine climbs into the ring and the ref rings the bell. Austin meets Constantine quickly and goes for a lock up. Constantine over powers Austin and throws him down to the mat.

Austin is up and bounces off the ropes. He goes for Millions and Millions. Constantine narrowly dodges it. Austin gets to his feet, but Constantine comes up from behind with a chop block.

Constantine gets on top of Austin and gets into a mounted position. He starts pounding rights and lefts into the skull of Austin. The ref counts to 4 and has to pull Constantine off.

Constantine lifts Austin up and hits a Backbreaker on his knee

Austin grabs Constantine shoulders and jumps up to hit a Lungblower.

Austin gets to his feet and straddles through the ropes and posses to the crowd. Constantine is up on his feet. Austin jumps off the ropes, goes for the Ego Crush. Constantine cathes him in mid air. Austin quickly flips back, hitting a Frankensteiner. Austin goes for the cover 1... 2..... So close as Constantine just kicks out. Austin stands and works the crowd up. Showtime stands up from his chair. Austin kicks the standing Constantine in the gut and goes for the Ratings Killer. He notices Showtime standing and turns to face him, still holding Constantine in position. Austin points at Showtime and yells at him. Austin finally goes to lift Constantine. Constantine is dead weight and stays on his feet. Constantine grabs Austin and lifts him up into the air. Axis of Evil. Constantine crawls on Austin for the cover. 1... 2... 3.

Harrys: Here is your winner, John Constantine.

Constantine holds his arms up in victory as the crowd boos. He slowly exits the ring as his assistant Mia runs down to check up on him. Showtime grabs the Elite X Title by ringside and walks into the ring. He stands over Austin and places the contract on top of Austin. He yells 'Think about it, Champ' and quietly exits the ring, still holding the Elite X Title. Showtime makes his way up the stage ramp and turns back to the ring. Austin has grabbed the contract from his chest and turns over. Showtime flips the Elite X Title onto his shoulder and smiles at it. He turns to look at Austin once more and then goes backstage.

Connor: And as you can see, he stole the Championship, effectively giving Austin Reynolds an ultimatum: sign the contract or don’t get your belt back!

Cohen: But you saw right there CC, Showtime did not rightfully lose against Reynolds and was entitled to a rematch. He just showed Reynolds that he can be screwed out just as equally.

Showtime is in the ring staring at the titantron with a smirk on his face, raising the Elite X Championship one more time before the music changes

[youtube]4ols4m_lyy0[/youtube]​

The crowd boos heavily as Dr. Steven Kurtesy walks out from behind the curtain with Doug Crashin behind him who’s giving him pep talk as he heads down the ramp.

Anderson: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Doug Crashin. Representing the Crashin Movement, from Sydney, Australia, weighing in at 235 pounds, Dr. Steven Kurtesy!

Cohen: Soon to be the next Tag Team Champion, I bet my bottom dollar on it.

Connor: Still can’t believe Holmes and him are getting a shot after what they did to Alexander Steele. No wonder the company is falling apart with them around!

Kurtesy climbs inside the ring as Crashin applauds him on his entrance, Showtime holds the Elite X belt in his hand before he looks to handing it over to the referee, only he shoves him to take a swing at Kurtesy with it who ducks under it with a school boy as the ref signals for the bell and immediately counts 1…….2..kickout by Showtime. The referee gets the belt out as Cougar gets up in Kurtesy’s face before slapping him and following up with a suplex, he gets up to his feet quickly and drops the elbow on him before doing a cover of his own, 1…….2..kickout as Crashin applauds Kurtesy on. Showtime gets Kurtesy up to his feet and in the corner, he proceeds to irish whip him only to be countered by Kurtesy who irish whips him back into the starting corner chest first before following up with The Straight Jacket.

Kurtesy gets up and paces to the opposite side of the ring as the ref follows as Doug Crashin swings an elbow into Showtime’s face, leaving him somewhat defenceless as Kurtesy turns back around and gets him back to his feet, he balances him against the ropes, hitting him with the kesagiri chop, and another, Showtime then snaps out of it, switching placing and hitting some chops of his own as he gets more aggressive in frustration, irish whipping his opponent and catching him up on the rebound with a running flying elbow, both men get to their feet as Showtime drags Kurtesy down with an armbar, getting him to his feet, Kurtesy then elbows Showtime, reversing the arm twist into an armbar drag of his own, holding Showtime’s arm in a wretch, stretching it before relinquishing it.

Connor: Kurtesy trying to make it harder for Showtime to hit the Final Act, he won’t be able to climb the turnbuckle or fully apply his finisher without that arm being good.

Cohen: The master of psychology doing what he does best, taking the likely means of defeat and slamming a door straight on it.

Kurtesy stands waiting as Showtime staggers up to his feet, holding his arm in pain as Kurtesy moves in to get offence in but Showtime catches him and hits the Ratings Crash out of nowhere, to take both men down, Crashin his holding his head in disbelief as the referee starts a ten count as they stagger slightly. Showtime rolls onto his knees as Kurtesy still hasn’t’ moved, he goes to crawl over and is about to get the arm over only for the crowd to jump as Austin Reynolds runs down from the stage, Showtime stops the cover attempt and gets up ready to intercept the Elite X Champion, only that Reynolds runs around the ring rather than into it, heading straight for the timekeeper and reclaiming his championship belt. Showtime looked pissed as he climbs out in pursuit as Reynolds runs over the barricade, going through the crowd with Showtime in pursuit. Reynolds heads up into the upper seating area as the crowd are cheering in a frenzy, Showtime is following closely saying “You can’t steal that from me!”

Connors: Looks like the ratings just picked up!

Cohen: Shut up CC! Reynolds ruined a perfectly good match!

Reynolds stops at one of the entrances as Showtime stands at the bottom of the stairs, he follows in pursuit until Reynolds points back at the ring, to which Showtime turns and sees the referee is up to the count of 7, he starts running back down the stairs, 8, back through the crowd who get out of his way, 9, he leaps over the barricade getting close to the ring, 10! The referee signals for the bell.

Anderson: Here is your winner as a result of a countout, Dr. Steven Kurtesy!

Kurtesy and Crashin quickly roll out of the ring and up the ramp as Showtime is one knee outside the ring with a look of anger and disgust at what just happened, he stares out blankly before he gets back up to his feet. Austin Reynolds hasn’t moved as he has a smile on his face, though he suddenly frowns when he looks at it. Austin doesn’t look happy to have his title back though. He pulls out some paperwork from his back pocket and uses the faceplate of the title to sign it. He then gets a mic out, raising it to speak.

Reynolds: Showtime David Cougar, The Ratings Winner Austin Reynolds, Elite X Championship, 30 minute Iron Man match, All Or Nothing.

He screws up the contract and throws it down the ramp in Showtime’s general direction, pausing the crowd dies down a little.

You’re ON!!!

The crowd erupts, Showtime looks pleased but Austin’s face doesn’t change at all as he raises the championship high, staring at his pay per view opponent.

Connors: Ladies and Gentleman, it has been made official, Austin Reynolds has signed the contract that Showtime gave him on Meltdown. All or Nothing will see the Elite X be defend in WZCW’s first ever Iron Man match. Showtime Cougar has stated if he can’t win, he will retire, but I think he has one or two things up his sleeve.

Cohen: You think? Showtime knows what to give what the audience wants, he will put that wannabe in his rightful place!

Connors: Well Ladies and Gentleman, as developments continue, we got to take a short break, but afterwards, we’ll be seeing Steven Holmes taking on Mark Hancock, stay tuned for Ascension!

 

[Phoenix]

Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

"Rooster" by Alice In Chains blasts through the speakers and the crowd begins booing, with Hancock slowly coming out focusing on the ring.

Anderson: Making his way to the ring, first, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 205 pounds... Mark Hancock!

He continues going down and slides underneath the ring ropes, perching himself on the top rope staring into the crowd. As his music dies down, he turns his attention to the entrance. "Hell's Bell's" by Bruce Faulconer hits and the crowd doesn't stop their hatred as Holmes comes out on the top of the stage with a smirk on his face.

Anderson: And his opponent, representing the Crashin Movement, from London, England, weighing in at 240 pounds... "The Elite" Steven Holmes!

Connor: Steven Holmes looks to be making two for two as he will want to pick up more momentum for the Crashin Movement as they will have the Tag Team Championships in sight at All or Nothing.

Cohen: Hancock better be on his toes tonight if he wants to walk out in one piece. No-one knows who these guys will take down next.

Holmes removes his silk robe and lays it carefully on the steps before entering the ring at leisure. He goes into the middle of the ring and points to the ceiling. Hancock blindsides Holmes with a running forearm smash and begins the attack, forcing the referee to signal for the bell.

Hancock delivers some headbutts, sending Holmes into the corner. Holmes puts his head underneath the top rope forcing the referee to break the hold and push Hancock back. Holmes sees his opportunity and delivers a high knee to Hancock, followed by a vertical suplex. Holmes goes for a cover... 1... kickout. Holmes immediately goes for a chin lock on Hancock, trying to wear him down. Hancock is too fresh and easily gets to his feet. With Holmes still locking in the submission, Hancock forces Holmes to move backwards towards the ropes and sends him for an Irish whip. Hancock attempts for a clothesline but Holmes ducks. Hancock tries for a back body drop by gets a neckbreaker for his efforts. Hancock clutches his head as Holmes goes for the pin... 1... 2... kickout. Holmes immediately goes for the submission with the head scissors. As soon as Hancock tries to escape, Holmes uses his leg strength to slam the head of Hancock to the mat. Holmes releases and hits the knee drop with a cover following... 1... 2... kickout by Hancock. Holmes goes for yet another submission and hugs the waste of Hancock with a body scissors. Hancock slowly gets up and tries escaping, but Holmes has other ideas with a German suplex, taking down Hancock. Holmes switches his arms for his legs and applies a sleeper hold, forming a body scissors sleeper combination. Hancock tries reaching for the ropes but they are out of his grasp. Holmes smirks as he watches Hancock struggle.

Connor: It seems Holmes isn't using anything fancy in this match and the kiss strategy is working for him.

Cohen: If you were open-minded about our jobs maybe it'll work for us too.

Hancock as forced Holmes to break the leg submission and slowly, but surely gets up to his feet. Hancock hits some stiff elbow shots that releases the sleeper of Holmes. Hancock hits with some strong fists, dazing Holmes. He hits a headbutt on Holmes and follows with a clothesline. Hancock runs off the ropes and delivers a forearm smash... and another. Hancock hits a running knee attack, pitting Holmes in the corner he was earlier in. Hancock runs at the turnbuckle and hits an avalanche, with Holmes falling to the ground. Hancock goes for a cover... 1... kickout by Holmes. Hancock mounts Holmes and smashes his face with some fists before the referee forces him off. Hancock waits for Holmes to get up and hits a tiger suplex, followed by a pin... 1... 2... kickout by Holmes. Hancock gets up and signals for the end as he is behind Holmes who is up at his feet. Hancock goes for the Black Out... but Holmes quickly reverses it into the Elite Sleeper... which Hancock easily gets out of and tries for a scoop slam, but Holmes wriggles out of it and hits a DDT... with Holmes crawling for a cover... 1... 2... near kickout by Hancock. Holmes slowly gets up, with Hancock following. Holmes sends Hancock for an Irish whip and delivers a scoop powerslam taking down Hancock. Holmes looks down at Hancock and locks in Aristocracy Reigns, with Hancock screaming in pain. Hancock tries for the ropes or escape, but he has no choice and begins pounding the mat.

The referee signals for the bell as Holmes continues to apply the pressure. Holmes' music hits as the referee pulls Holmes off the prone Hancock.

Anderson: And the winner of the match... "The Elite" Steven Holmes!

The crowd boos Holmes as he raises his arm into the air and proceeds to exit the ring, only to look back at Hancock and smile, entering back in. He lines up Hancock who is on all fours and goes for a knee to the temple... but stops before he delivers it, allowing Hancock to roll out of the way. Holmes smiles as Hancock narrowly avoids the contact.

Connor: It seems Holmes has delivered a statement to the locker room that anyone could be a potential target for the Crashin Movement.

Cohen: After both Steven's performances tonight, these guys are on a serious momentum wave and will have a good chance to leave with those Tag Titles after All or Nothing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We cut backstage to just outside Vance Bateman's office where Zakk Falcon, Cory Allen, and Jonny Sherman stand looking at some offical paperwork.

Zakk: Wow we made it, our triple threat match must have impressed the higher ups.

Sherman: I can't wait for my first official match.

The three look around the backstage area almost in awe as Ty Burna walks by with the WZCW World Heavyweight Title draped across his shoulder.

Ty: More fresh blood has arrived? Well let me be the first to welcome you three to WZCW. Now let me give you some advice, there's nothing worse than a rookie acting cocky and proclaiming he will be World Champion from the gate. You have to work your way to the top, and you will be through many wars if you wish to be successful. Stay humble, work hard, and you'll make it.

Just then DK Wilton walks up and sees Ty. He jumps right into Ty's face.

Wilton: You better keep that title nice and warm for me Ty, because it's going to be mine very soon.

Wilton begins walking away with a strut when a bemused look crosses Ty's face.

Ty: Hey Wilton.

Wilton turns back and gets decimated with Consecrated Banishment from Ty. Wilton is laid out cold on the concrete. Ty adjusts the title on his shoulder and looks to the three shocked rookies.

Ty: See what I mean?

Ty begins walking again towards the entrance as the camera moves to zoom in on DK Wilton who is out cold.

There’s a mixed reaction of boos and cheers from the crowd as Everest makes his way out and raises his hands on the stage before heading down the ramp. He shifts his head from side to side but not giving too much notice to the crowd.

Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 205 pounds, Everest!

Connor: Everest will no doubt be wanting to make a point against our World Champion Ty Burna. But no doubt will be wanting to prove a point to Big Dave prior to their encounter at All or Nothing.

Cohen: A point to prove? He’s proven many points but how much more can he prove?

Everest climbs into the ring and raises his arms again before rolling them in a warm up fashion as he stands waiting for his opponent.

​

The arena goes dark in excitement as the crowd cheer in anticipation for the World Champion. Suddenly the lights come back on and Ty Bruna is standing in the middle of the ring much to everyone’s surprise.

Anderson: His opponent, weighing in at 235 pounds, he is the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Ty Burna!

Cohen: Cheap tricks!

Ty Burna hands over the World Heavyweight Championship to the referee as Everest points at it making a few words at Ty before the referee signals for the bell as we get underway here, both men circle around the arena before Everest moves closer to make a grab at Ty who swings at him, Everest ducking under but Ty follows with an elbow to the back of the head which causes Everest to stagger slightly before taking him by the head to drag him to the corner, knocking his head against the pad. He takes Everest and irish whips him to the other corner and follows straight up after to him with a high kick to the head in the corner which makes Everest drop straight down in the corner.

Ty walks over before standing in front of Everest, he goes down to grab him but Everest blunts him in the face before slamming him shoulder first into the turnbuckle, allowing a chance to get out of the corner before unloading some stomps on the World Champion. He paces out before running at him with a knee, which dazes Ty, Everest then gets him up, bringing him to the centre before dropping him with a clothesline, followed by a knee drop to the head, he goes for a cover 1……..2. kickout by Ty. Everest gets his opponent up and irish whips him, he tries for a spinning heel kick but Ty ducks under and then hitting a high knee on the return to knock Everest to his back before getting back up and being dropped with a shoulderbreaker.

Connor: Good mix of action here between the top two performers here

Cohen: Would you expect anything less?

Ty keeps control as he gets Everest up again before giving him a kick to the thigh, he follows with another and then unloads a left and a right on him to back him against the ropes, Ty then runs at the ropes opposite to Everest and tries for the Consecrated Banishment but Everest ducks and Ty is left up to dry on the top rope, Everest then hits an enziguri to drop the Champion to the outside. Everest follows pursuit as stands over Ty, he turns towards the camera and says “Keep watching Dave!” as he gets Ty up and then hits a Russian Legsweep to slam the Champion back first into the barricade. He slides into the ring and then back out again to reset the referee’s count as he tries to keep up his offence on Ty who’s holding his back in pain. He stomps a couple of times of Ty’s back before pacing away and then sliding into the ring before running at the ropes and going for a baseball slide, but Ty evades it and then meets Everest with a right hand, Everest is back up to his feet and tries to catch Ty off guard with some quick offence but Ty lifts him up and ends up dropping him on top of the steel steps with has Everest out on the floor.

Ty uses the chance to get some energy back before heading towards Everest who’s still down after taking the steps bump, Ty gets him up and rolls him into the ring, following straight after his opponent. With Everest down he tries to apply the Muta Lock and is successful which has Everest screaming in pain, he’s asked if he wants to quit but shouts no, Ty keeps the hold locked on tightly but Everest tries reaching for the ropes, he shimmies closer and closer as he looks ready to tap any second, but he grabs the rope and Ty lets go of the hold. Ty gets up and ready to meet Everest who uses the ropes to get himself up, he turns to a waiting Ty who tries with a right but Everest ducks to get behind him, launching Ty with a German suplex. The referee goes to check him as Everest staggers in the corner, he checks to see if the referee is looking and starts to unfasten the pad, he gets it partly off before the referee turns around as Everest walks away like nothing happened.

Cohen: Everest utilising the referee’s lack of vision here.

Connor: The fans seem to be in mixed reaction about it.

Everest then ascends the turnbuckle as Ty is still trying to get himself sorted, Everest is waiting for the opportune moment but can’t seem to find one as Ty gets to his feet and knocks against the ropes to make Everest sway slightly on the turnbuckle top. Ty then heads over to Everest who swings a right, followed by another and then kicks Ty away and goes for the high offence but Ty catches him with a spinebuster which has both men down. The referee starts counting as they slowly roll to their fronts, Everest using the ropes, by the time the referee reaches 8, both men are back up as they exchange slow rights with each other with Ty winning, then Everest grabs Ty’s hand and irish whips him into the corner that has the slightly loose turnbuckle back which Ty hits face first as he holds on to his face, Everest stands ready and waiting to deliver The Rock Slide, he goes in to hit it but Ty elbows him in the head a couple of times before he relinquishes the hold as the referee checks on Ty who’s holding his eye, Everest holds onto the ropes to get some composure after those knocks to the head, until suddenly one of the camera jumps and slams a camera into Everest’s face which knocks him off of the ropes as Ty sees a moment to hit the Consecrated Banishment and going for the cover, 1…….2…….3!

Anderson: Here is your winner, the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Ty Burna!

Cohen: What the hell just happened?

Connor: It seems one of the camera crew took out Everest, giving Ty the victory.

Ty is holding eye still but appears to be ok as he is handed his Championship Belt to raise it into the air as the cameraman climbs into the ring, he takes his jacket and baseball cap off to reveal its Big Dave which has the crowd booing heavily.

Cohen: I give my hats off to Dave, he outsmarted Everest to counter what happened last week.

Dave stands over Everest before Ty looks over at Dave, they stare at each other for a moment until Dave kicks to roll Everest to the outside and follows carefully in pursuit, keeping an eye on Ty. He then goes over the announce table as he starts to disassemble it. Ty tries to intercept on the action but Dave holds a monitor ready to strike Ty with it if he comes closer. Suddenly the crowd roars in cheer as Gordito comes running through the crowd, he leaps up onto the barricade, running on top of it, then onto the announce table before leaping onto Dave and unloading rights on him as the referees tries to separate them two. Gordito gets off of him before climbing into the ring with Ty as Dave and Everest are both down on the outside. Gordito and Ty stare intently at each other before Ty then raises the World Heavyweight Championship high in the air as the crowd stand in silence in anticipation.

Connor: It appears to be the calm before the storm here Jack. But the question will be, who will leave All or Nothing as the World Heavyweight Champion?

Cohen: Anyone’s guess is as good as mine but I expect one of these losers to mess it up.

Connor: Well that’s all we have time for as we got Gordito and Ty in the ring, Dave and Everest on the outside, there’s so much at stake and anyone could walk out with it all or with nothing. I am Cat Connors alongside Jack Cohen, we’ll see you at All or Nothing!
