The crowd inside the famous Wembley Stadium in London, England give a standing ovation for the beginning of one of the biggest shows in the WZCW Calendar, the Lethal Lottery. Everybody is holding up their unique signs and are all excited to be in the event, especially those in the front-row as the camera passes them by. We then transition over to the commentary booth where all three are formally dressed and smiling.
Copeland:Hello everyone and welcome to the seventh Lethal Lottery event here in London, England! My name is Sebastian Copeland and I'm joined by my broadcast colleagues Catherine Connor and Jack Cohen. Guys, are you ready?
Cohen:You know I'm always ready, Seabass! I'm pumped, I'm excited and I cannot wait for the show to get started!
Connor:Indeed. We've got ourselves three championship matches where we guarantee that one will come out a new champion. We decide what happens to the vacated World Heavyweight Championship as Theron Daggershield & Constantine go one-on-one for the title.
Copeland:We will be hearing from both competitors with their thoughts on the match as well as a special last minute announcement coming up shortly.
Cohen:Outside of that, we've got nothing but wrestling. There will be no lolly-gagging, no interruptions... just wrestling all night long, baby!
Connor:What are we waiting for? Stop talking and get this show on the road.
Cohen:I couldn't have said it better myself, CC! Let's get to it!
Harrys: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is scheduled for one fall and is for the WZCW Elite X Champinship!
Camera shots begin to go around the arena as the London crowd get a taste of the catwalks of Milan. After a moment, the challenger struts onto the stage as if it were actually a catwalk. She poses exuberantly for a few moments; changing position every so often. Fianlly, she begins moving down the ramp towards the ring.
Harrys: Introducing first, the challenger. Weighing in at 135 pounds, from Milan, Italy... Eve Taylor!
Copeland:Eve Taylor has been a different animal recently. She as a lust for gold and no one is going to come between her and that goal, it seems.
Cohen: Not even her Stable mates!
Taylor continues down the ramp, sneering horribly at the fans who flock to the aisle and reach out their hands towards her. Finally, she reaches the ring and slides under the bottom rope; posing on all fours again before getting to her feet and readying herself for the match.
A huge reception goes around for the home-town boy. After a moment, a very focussed James Howard makes his way onto the stage and is met with another strong reaction from the English crowd. He stops for a moment, nodding his head approvingly as he looks out into the vast crowd. He takes the Championship from his waist and holds it high into the air.
Harrys: And now introducing, the Champion. Weighing in at 223 pounds, from Leeds, England... James Howard!
Connor:What a reception from the fans here in London. James Howard has promised to crush Eve Taylor like an hourglass here tonight. And perhaps he might just do that with the backing of these fans.
Copeland: It is impressive, right enough. But Taylor wont care about any of that. Both of these great warriors looks focussed and ready to go.
The normal shadow boxing from Howard is not evident here tonight as he makes his way down the ramp, not bothering to reach out to the fans who are desperate to touch him. Finally, he makes his way into the ring via the ring steps and holds the Championship above his head.
Cohen:This is it, folks. Hold onto your hats!
The two competitors stand across the ring from one another, knowing deep down that they are bracing themselves for an absolute war. Neither wrestler can afford to lose this match after all of the talking that has been done on both of their parts; a sentiment that can clearly be seen by the fierce look of concentration on the two faces. The referee signals for the bell and this match gets under way.
* DING DING DING *
Taylor and Howard begin walking towards the other competitor in the middle of the ring. When the two meet, the trash talking begins but it is inaudible to the crowd. From nowhere, Taylor slaps Howard across the face with such velocity that Howard's head spins on an axis. He puts one hand to his jaw as a wide smile appears on the face of his opponent. Slowly, he turns back to see Taylor laughing at him. With blistering speed, Howard launches a reciprocity slap at Taylor; knocking her to the canvas for the first time. Howard looks utterly raging at Taylor's behaviour in the opening of this match but it is little more than he expected from her in truth. Taylor begins to crawl away from Howard as he slowly paces after her towards to the corner of the ring. Stalking her, Howard prepares himself for anything but finds himself stunned when Taylor retreats to the corner and turns back towards him; tears streaming down her face. Howard is almost taken by surprise as Taylor cowers in the corner. Seeing her face, the referee pushes Howard backwards but Howard is not being taken in by the tricks of Taylor. Howard pushes past the referee with great force but finds himself on the wrong side of a low-blow from Taylor as the referee miss it. Suddenly, Taylor rolls up Howard for the first pinfall of the match! 1... 2... Kick out with no time to spare!
Connor:Well, that was almost the shortest match in Lethal Lottery history!
Cohen:Listen, if you can win a match with any means necessary, then you take that opportunity.
Copeland: Uh, she utilised a banned move, Jack. Taylor should be disqualified right here and now. She's very lucky to still be fighting this match...
Taylor gets back to her feet ad wipes the tears from her face; smiling brazenly as she does so. The crowd cannot believe what they have just witnessed, and more importantly, what the referee did not. A huge roar of disapproval goes around the arena as Howard struggles to get back to his feet but Taylor seems to care very little. She grabs Howard by the hair and drags him across the ring towards the ropes. Tossing him into the far ropes, Taylor nails him with a beautifully executed spinning heel kick when he returns' an impact that rocks Howard and takes him back to the canvas. Taylor gets back to her feet as soon as she possibly can and moves towards Howard. Mocking him now, Taylor begins to rub her eyes as if she is fake crying once again. The crowd burst into a fit of rage again as Taylor begins to enjoy herself. But she cannot afford to lose track of what she is doing amidst her bragging and she knows it. Picking Howard up once again, she pulls him towards the ropes once more. She gives the fans a quick taunt and then proceeds to drag the face and eyes of her opponent across the ropes. The crowd offer a shudder of horror as Taylor continues to drag as the referee utilises his 5-count. Just in the nick of time, Taylor releases Howard's head and gives the referee a cute smile in recognition of the count. Howard staggers backwards and quickly loses his balance, ending up seated in the middle of the ring. Taylor knows she has to follow up on her early promise and quickly nails Howard with a beautifully executed running slap that reverberates around the arena. Taylor rapidly crawls on top of Howard for the cover! 1... 2... Kick out once again!
Copeland:I can't believe just how dominant the challenger has been in this match so far. But then again, a low blow and cheating will make sure of it.
Cohen:Seabass, if Howard could get away with some dirty tactics, you bet your ass that he would be the first one to do so. This match isn't about being honourable; it's about winning one of the biggest championships in this business. If you want it, then do anything to get it.
The crowd cannot believe what they are seeing as Taylor seems to be in complete control of this match. Not that either of the competitors have endeared themselves to the London crowd all that much, but many at ringside seem shocked by the great start from the former Catwalk Model. Taylor gets to to her knees; still sporting that irritating mocking smile that she has had plastered to her face all match. She slowly moves around the current Elite X Champion and finally grabs at this legs. With absolutely no hesitation whatsoever, Taylor locks in the Figure Four Leg-lock! Once Taylor hist the canvas, the immense pain of the hold is plain to see on the face of Howard as he lets out a yell of sheer agony. Taylor continues to smile in the face of Howard as he struggles to make it to the bottom rope and ultimate salvation from this hold. Slowly, Howard crawls across the canvas; reaching out for the bottom rope as he does so. Closer and closer he edges as the smile of Taylor begins to fade; along with her chances of picking up the Elite X Championship because of this move anyway. The crowd begin to build anticipation as Howard makes one final push for the bottom rope. But Taylor is in no mood to allow this opportunity to slip past her and breaks the hold. She grabs the injured legs of James Howard and pulls him back towards the middle of the ring. Immediately, and without mercy, she locks the move in once again. But Howard uses all of his experience to immediately rotate his body and reverse the move; Taylor's smile now very much gone and replaced by an agonising expression. This time, it is the turn of Taylor to reach for the bottom rope. She extends her arm all of the way and begins to crawl; the referee constantly asking her if she wants to give up. But with one final push, Taylor makes it to the bottom rope and breaks the hold.
Connor:So close! Howard has finally managed to pull himself back into this match and with offence like that, perhaps the playing field might be levelled after such a one-sided opening to the match.
Cohen: This is his opportunity, true enough. Howard needs to claim this opportunity or the match might just get away from him.
Copeland:This match has already been Hell and both of these competitors still have the Lottery match to go!
Slowly, both competitors get back to their vertical basis; each of them nursing their injured legs as they do. But, one could argue, it is Taylor who is the hungrier of the two as she launches herself at the reigning Elite X Champion; clawing and striking at him and driving him back towards the corner of the ring. Once there, Taylor looks to completely reclaim the momentum in this match by mounting the turn-buckle. She gives the crowd a taunt by raising her arms out to her sides but Howard is in no mood to surrender his position in this match and the Elite X Championship along with it. Grabbing the legs of Taylor, Howard moves out of the corner with his opponent resting upon his shoulders. The crowd get anxious as Howard staggers around the ring with Taylor begging him not to bring her back to Earth with a crash. But the pleading falls on deaf ears as Howard slams Taylor into the canvas with a beautiful Sit-Out Powerbomb. He drapes himself over her lifeless body and covers her for the first time in the match. But although winded, Taylor manages to get the shoulder up after a count of 1. Howard wastes little time as a look of hideous anger crosses his features. He spins out of his position and grabs Taylor by the hair; dragging her towards the edge of the ring. There, he positions her with her head hanging over the apron and grabs her legs. Howard, this time, gives the assembled masses a taunt before catapulting the neck and throat of Taylor into the bottom rope. Quickly, he pulls Taylor back inside the ring and covers her for the fall. 1... 2... Kick out as Taylor manages to roll the shoulder out!
Copeland:I thought that was it!
Connor:Me too! After a shaky start, Howard has managed to pull himself back into this match and, if anything, the start of the match has just made him more furious and intent on breaking his challenger.
Howard gets to his knees as Taylor continues to nurse her injured throat and finding it very difficult to catch her breath. Slamming his fists onto the canvas, Howard looks utterly bemused. Not wasting any time though, Howard slowly gets back to his feet; possibly still feeling the effects of the earlier Figure Four. Howard silently considers his next move before moving back to Taylor who is beginning to get to her knees. Grabbing the hair of the former EurAsian Champion, Howard begins to pull her to a vertical basis. But Taylor knows that she needs to turn this match in her favour once again, she puts her hands around the back of Howard and rather unceremoniously drags her sharpened nails down his back with no remorse whatsoever. Howard lets out a pained yell as he straightens up immediately. Taylor stumbles backwards towards the ropes but is soon joined by Howard; who looks as though he is in no mood to allow Taylor back into this match after gaining a reasonable amount of momentum. But the dirty tricks of Taylor continue as she pulls Howard towards her; through the ropes and crashing out to the unprotected matted area on the outside. The crowd takes a collective sharp intake of breath as Howard collides with the stone floor. The referee immediately shoots outside of the ring and checks on Howard who is looking very shaky as he gets to his knees. Howard grabs the referee and uses him to get back to his unstable feet. But Taylor is not messing around and has made her way onto the ring apron. She checks her position and then suddenly launches herself off of the ropes with a startling Moonsault. Seeing Taylor at the last moment, Howard pulls the referee in front of him and dives out of the way. Taylor has just taken out the referee by accident and this could be trouble!
Cohen:Nicely done!
Copeland: I'm not sue who to blame for that but it signals bad news for everyone that the referee is no longer in control of this match. The inmates are now running the asylum and I'd imagine that is going to mean bad things for both of these competitors.
Taylor comes to on the side of the ring as Howard slowly makes his way back to a vertical basis. Judging by the expression on her face as she scans the situation, she cannot believe what has just transpired. Clutching at the security barrier at ringside, Taylor tries her best to get back to her feet but she, too, seems as though she is on a shaky relationship with stability. But getting back to her feet is not a problem as Howard makes his way towards his opponent and grabs her by the hair. With no hesitation or mercy, Howard takes the head of Taylor and slams it into the security barrier with surreal force; a confident smirk on his features now as he seizes control of the match. Taylor recoils with the impact of her face meeting the barrier but Howard is after her quickly. Grabbing her arm, Howard whips Taylor towards the steel steps at the side of the ring and Taylor can do nothing about it but accept the heavy impact as she tumbles over them. Howard moves towards her again as Taylor struggles to get back into this match. Grabbing her again, Howard looks down at Taylor as she uses him to slowly get back to her feet; his sick smile doing nothing to reassure the challenger. Pulling her towards the barricade once again, Howard picks up his opponent in a full press before letting her fall onto the barricade with devastating impact to the torso and gut. Taylor slumps over the barrier and out of sight as Howard begins to enjoy himself.
Copeland:How long can Taylor last with the offence that Howard is dishing out?
Cohen:Taylor is an impressive wrestler for sure. But no one can withstand this aggression and sustained attack for much longer.
Connor:With every shot, Howard gets closer to keeping his Championship; that's for sure.
Howard leans over the security barrier to find where Eve Taylor is lying prone on the ground; clutching at her ribs. Grabbing her by the hair, Howard begins to pull her back to her feet and seems to be enjoying the fact that the referee has been incapacitated. Holding her hair with his left hand and punching Taylor on the face with his right repeatedly; the crowd shudder with every stiff shot. Over and over, the punches come towards Taylor but she may just be too exhausted and hurt to block them. Finally, the outright aggression of the Elite X Champion comes to an end as he pulls Taylor towards him and some way over the barrier; only so far until her feet are hanging on it and she is suspended with a headlock. Howard stops for a moment, steadying himself and allowing the fans to get a good look at what happens to anyone that dare challenge his rule and his authority. Then, without mercy, Howard brings Taylor back down to Earth with a drilling DDT that sends shock waves around the arena and, more importantly, bursts open the forehead of Eve Taylor. Howard gets back to his feet slowly and surveys the damage he has caused. But he is not done there. With Taylor at his mercy, he begins dragging her towards the time-keepers area, right next to the commentary table. Setting Taylor up against the security barrier, Taylor looks completely out of it. Howard backs away, never taking his eyes off of his challenger. Suddenly, he runs at Taylor and athletically dives at her; hoping to put her through the security barrier. But just as Howard did before, Taylor moves out of the way at the last second and Howard goes through the barrier himself with an almighty crash!
THIS IS AWESOME!
THIS IS AWESOME!
THIS IS AWESOME!
Cohen:Can't argue with that!
Copeland:This match has just been turned on it's head once again! Howard was so firmly in control of this match and now he has potentially let Taylor back in!
Neither competitor looks like a winner at this point in time as both lie motionless on the outside of the ring. The referee is still out, too. But it is Eve Taylor who is first to spring into life; rolling over onto her stomach and trying to find any support back to her feet; blood dribbling down her face from before. As she grabs the ring apron and begins to pull herself back to her feet, the Elite X Champion begins to make a move from the wreckage. After what seems like an eternity, both competitors are back on their feet and struggling towards each other; the effects of this match playing heavily with their stamina reserves. They trade right hands with everything they have left until Taylor finally comes out of it as the victor. Driving a knee into the gut of her opponent, Taylor grabs at the head of Howard and finally tosses him back inside the ring. Finally, both competitors find themselves back inside the ring as Taylor joins Howard on the inside. But by the time Taylor is back inside, Howard has slowly squirmed to his feet and is looking regain the advantage in the match. He hits the opposite ropes and runs at Taylor and nails her with a running clothesline. Taylor hits the canvas once again as Howard ducks through the ropes and ends up on the outside of the ring. Waiting and waiting, Howard looks as though he is ready to put this match away. He gives the signal to everyone in London that this match is finished. Finally, with Taylor getting to her feet, Howard launches himself onto the top rope with a springboard and then nails Taylor with the CHAOS THEORY! Taylor rolls due the impact but Howard is onto her almost immediately; he covers her for the win...
Copeland:There's no referee!

Copeland:James Howard could have had this match won! The crowd could count to a million at this point but it doesn't make a difference when the referee is knocked out!
Connor: He was the one who pulled the referee into the way of the Moonsault from Taylor. He could have won the match right here if he had just wrestled with a bit of honour.
From the stage, another referee begins sprinting to the ring. Howard continues the pin as he sees the referee finally make the ring and slide under the bottom rope. Howard gives a massive smile as the referee counts the fall. 1... 2...
Referee:Wait!
Howard cannot believe that he has not won this match. He looks at the referee; who has shot back to his feet and is pointing towards something. Howard slowly turns his head as a massive groan goes around the arena. Taylor's leg is on the bottom rope! A look of sheer shock crosses the face of the current Elite X Champion as he ponders what he has to do to put away this match and his opposition. Howard releases the pin and uses the ropes to get back to his feet. He unsteadily moves towards the corner of the ring and slumps down to a crouching position as he waits for Taylor to get back to her feet. It seems like an eternity before Taylor begins moving but Howard doesn't press the situation; perhaps still in a state of shock that she managed to remain in this match more than anything. With Taylor getting back to her feet slowly, an idea comes to the current Champion. Turning on his heels, he goes through the ropes and slowly begins to climb the turnbuckles with unsteady and unsure footing. Once there, he continues to wait for Taylor to turn around. Once he sees the blood red features of her face, Howard jumps at her, looking to finish her off with the CHAOS THEORY once more! But Taylor has Howard well scouted and has used the time to recover. FASHION STATEMENT! Howard's face smashes into the boot of Taylor as the crowd burst into life. Slowly, the challenger crawls towards the Champion and puts an arm over him! 1... 2... 3!
Harrys: Here is your winner and NEEEEW Elite X Champion... EVE TAYLOR!
Slowly but surely, Eve gets to her feet with the help of the replacement referee who has fetched the Elite X Championship for her. He hoists her arm aloft with the Elite X title hanging high above her head. Taylor gives a massive smile through the crimson mask of her blood and then looks down at Howard; who simply cannot believe what has just happened.
Cohen:An extremely violent battle between two individuals who had no connection with each other until they found out they became champion & challenger at Unscripted.
Copeland:Howard & Taylor put everything on the line for the chance to wear the Elite X championship.
Connor:Could you imagine what they'd do if they fought someone they had a personal vendetta against?
Cohen:I shudder to think, CC. Congratulations to Eve for becoming the second woman in history to hold the Elite X title but Howard left his mark on her and that title, for sure.
Eve manages to roll out of the ring and ascend the ramp with a weakened body. She holds her forehead in an attempt to contain the bleeding but it is no use. The referee remains with James Howard who watches the new champion walk out with the title on her shoulders.
*********************************
We transition to the office of WZCW Owner Mr. Banks who stands facing the camera directly. He pauses for a couple of seconds before he speaks.
Banks:Tonight at the Lethal Lottery, we've guaranteed you that a new champion will be crowned as Theron Daggershield & Constantine do battle for the vacated World Heavyweight Championship. However, due to some very late circumstances that occurred during the Lethal Lottery pre-show, that championship won't be the only vacated title put on the line. For Garth Black & Johnny Scumm, they will no longer compete to become the number one contender... they will now fight for the WZCW Eurasian championship! With the stakes increased, so too has the match. Instead of a No Disqualification ruling, we have upgraded the fight to be a Mayhem Rules match... and that match is next!
Mr Banks smiles before the feed cuts out.
Copeland:In less than 24 hours, the Eurasian championship has been vacated and a new champion will arise tonight. Will it be Johnny Scumm or Garth Black?
Harrys: The following contest has been subjected to change. Therefore, this match is scheduled for one fall, and is a Mayhem Rules Match FOR the Eurasian Championship!!!
[YOUTUBE]JyX7dHmaRlA[/YOUTUBE]
Garth walks down to the ring with purpose, carrying a bottle of water. He looks into the camera, and mutters "It's my time, now!". He climbs in, has a drink of the water and tosses the bottle out of the ring.
Harrys: Introducing first, from The Last Chance Saloon, Garth Black!!!
Copeland: Do to unforeseen circumstances, Chris K.O. is no longer the Eurasian Champion. Tonight we crown a successor in what has been a very bitter feud.
Cohen: That's one way to put it. Another would be this has been a helluva month for Garth. Johnny Scumm has been relentless.
Connor: And now a Mayhem Rules Match. With everything on the line!
[YOUTUBE]rqJGHL3lnSM#t=72[/YOUTUBE]
Johnny Scumm walks out somberly- his eyes glued to Garth's. The crowd begins to boo but he doesn't look their way. Instead he gives them the finger and slides into the ring.
Harrys: And his opponent, from London, England, Johnny Scumm-
Harrys is cut off as he leaps out of the ring to avoid the oncoming collision. Both Black and Scumm exchange blows in the center of the ring. Johnny Scumm gains the upper hand, and sends Black tumbling out! Scumm leaps out as well, searching for a weapon. With the action already started, the referee reluctantly signals for the bell.
* DING DING DING *
Copeland: A fight that almost cost Harrys's head! Who will join Ty Burna, Matt Tastic, and Showtime as our new Eurasian Champion?
Connor: It's either man's game tonight. They've been at it for months, so I can't say. All I know is whoever gets the W deserves it.
Cohen: You kidding? We're not even a minute in this and Scumm's looking for a weapon. Clearly this is going to end early for Garth.
Scumm pulls out a foreign object...
...
...
...
A taser! He presses down on the handle and it gives off a loud click of electricity. On the other side of the apron is Garth Black, who spotted what Scumm was doing and also hunts for something to use. He reaches underneath and grabs...
...
...
...
Lighter fluid! He sets it at a corner post, but when he does Scumm creeps by him and strikes! Garth's body shakes spastically- Johnny holds him down and keeps the taser against his back. Garth violently moves away from the pain, and is kneed in the back of the leg for his troubles. Once down, Scumm rolls Black into the ring, and follows up with a pin! Akiyama counts.
1...
2...
Garth gets the shoulder up, but cries out. The effects of the taser still apparent. Scumm laughs and slides back out of the ring, exploring once again the armory underneath WZCW's ring.
...
...
...
Johnny Scumm yanks out a ladder! He lifts it over the ring and pushes it in Garth's direction. Black is still regaining his strength. Scumm looks again...
...
...
...
a pool stick! He twirls it evilly and steps back inside the ring.
Cohen: See? He's in the driver's seat.
Copeland: All I see is somebody wasting valuable time.
Garth is back on his feet, but Johnny Scumm swings the stick! He ducks out of the way, sprints to the ropes, Scumm swings again, and again a miss! Garth Black with Getting On The Bandwagon! The body attack brings down Scumm. Still getting over the electric shock, Garth grabs Scumm's legs for the Black Death, but Scumm wiggles out. Scumm runs the opposite direction, grabs hold of the middle ropes, and slings himself into Black! But Black catches him, rolls them both over, and lifts him up for the Black Out!!! But he's still in too much pain, and drops him into a judo throw.
With Scumm temporarily down, Black looks around the ring and spots the ladder. He gives the fans a wicked grin and sets it up.
Connor: This would be a very risky move if he is going to do what I think he's going to do.
Copeland: The Come Down? From the top of a ladder? This would be a defining statement if he lands it!
Cohen: Yeah. Defining why Johnny Scumm is walking out of here Eurasian Champion more likely.
Garth Black climbs the ladder slowly. The crowd starts clapping in rhythm for him, urging him to take the next step. Scumm comes alive at the sound of his bitter rival gaining support. He starts to make his way up the ladder to stop Garth. Garth lashes out with a right hand, striking Scumm! Scumm retaliates with a right of his own. The ladder quakes beneath the two! Garth strikes him a second time. Johnny Scumm answers with The "Face Smasher"!!!
Garth grabs his legs- preventing the move from being executed. Johnny Scumm hangs upside down, suspended in the air with only Garth holding him in place. The WZCW Universe is on the edge of their seat! Garth winces with half of Scumm pulling him down from the other end of the ladder...he makes a hellish face and lets out a primal scream. A warcry.
Black: HHHYYYYAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
Copeland: OH DEAR GOD.
Cohen: He can't...
Garth Black slingshots Johnny Scumm high into the air...and straight towards the live audience! Scumm comes crashing into the arena's stairwell- tumbing down each sickening step. He hits the inner barrier that keeps the crowd from entering the ring and stops. He clutches his ribs; blood dripping from his mouth.
HO LEE SHIT!!! HO LEE SHIT!!! HO LEE SHIT!!!
Garth Black sacrificed himself with the crippling move by falling outside of the ring. Both men incapacitated as Security calls for EMTs on Scumm's end.
Connor: I reiterate what I said. Whoever wins deserves the title, and it's anybody's guess on who that champion will be.
Cohen: It's not a guess. Scumm will get up from this and tase the shit out of Garth some more.
Copeland: After all the years I've known you, you're going to say that, Jack? Garth can't be more in the driver's seat if he pulled a steering wheel out from under the ring. Speaking of...
With Scumm being looked at, Garth Black rose to his feet and examined the contents hidden from sight. Black takes something out and it's...
...
...
...
An Alhazred Plushie Doll, complete with a Santa Claus hat on its head! Black looked at it oddly and noticed that it's hand had a sticker that said "Press Me". Black did. The Doll came to life in it's hands with hip thrusts. The gyrating Doll also began to sing a horridly perverted version of "Santa Claus is Coming To Town". People in attendance started laughing. Garth chuckled to himself and gave a kid the doll.
Copeland: Well, guess you never know what you'll find down there...
Cohen: What kind of God lets such a thing exist?!?
EMTs gather around Johnny Scumm, but Scumm pushes them away in a rage. He holds his side and tries to stand up...but can't. Garth Black starts asking the front row for a good weapon. Fans try to hand him beer cups, their children, and even a few car keys, but only one weapon went into Black's hand and it was...
...
...
...
A Prosthetic arm! A rabid fan happily gives away their arm for the fight. Garth carries it to the ring apron. He begins tearing a piece of the apron itself apart! He wraps half of the arm in the cloth and takes the lighter fluid out of the corner. He pours a healthy dose over the arm and asks for a light. An audience member flicks their Bic for Black and now he holds a torch! Scumm gets to his feet and limps over the barrier. Garth Black rushes him with the flaming arm and his met with a dropkick! The kick made the burning prosthetic hit Black in the face! The prosthetic ball of death falls to the floor and Scumm uses all of his energy getting Black and himself back into the ring. Akiyama waits for Scumm to get an arm over Black's chest.
1!
2!
Garth gets an arm up right as Akiyama brings his down for the third time. Scumm's face is traumatized as the EMTs that saw after him quickly put out the fire outside.
Copeland: Even with the flames blinding him, a drop from a ladder, and being mercilessly tased, Black still stays alive in this match.
Cohen: Sure. We all knew he had heart. But Scumm fell INTO THE AUDIENCE, SeaBass. And still tried to pin Black. The man isn't giving up.
Connor: Neither are. That's the problem. Someone is going to die if they keep this up. Or at least have their career end.
Both men slip away from one another and rest at opposing sides of the ring. Johnny Scumm firmly grasps the pool stick that was lying away from the danger. Garth Black looks down where he is, and notices the taser. He picks it up and stares daggers into the man that has caused him grief for months. Garth Black bellows- he rushes Johnny Scumm! Johnny Scumm runs towards him with the same expression on his face! As they plow into one another, the taser goes deep into Scumm's stomach. It brings him down, but not before he wraps the pool stick across the back of Black's neck. He holds on and brings his knees up...THE "FACE SMASHER"! The pool stick breaks on impact and Garth Black is down! Scumm rolls over Black almost on accident for the pin-
1...
2...
3...
The bell is rang, but neither men hear it. Referee Akiyama has to pull Scumm up for him to get his senses back. When the Eurasian Title is placed firmly over his shoulder, he looks at it in disbelief.
Harrys: Here is your winner and NEW EURASIAN CHAMPION...Johnny Scumm!!!
Cohen: I can't believe it. I mean I had a feeling it was his time, but seeing it play out I still cannot believe it.
Copeland: This...this one is for the record books. Johnny Scumm of all people pulled through and is now our champion. And Black didn't make it easy for him at all. Surprised if either men walk away from this unchanged.
Connor: A true Mayhem Rules match if ever there was one.
*********************************
We go backstage to find Theron Daggershield stretching and warming up for his match later. He smiles at someone off camera, and Leon Kensworth walks in.
Leon:Theron, you are moments away from your first ever singles match for the WZCW World Heavyweight Championship. How are you feeling?
Theron:I’m excited, Leonardo. Every challenge and every roll I’ve partaken in on this quest has led to this battle against Kaiser tonight.
Leon:You aren’t nervous?
Theron:Mystra has washed away my past failures. I fight for her tonight.
Theron turns and faces the camera directly.
Theron:Kaiser, there isn’t a roll that can save you tonight. I will be the new World Gladiatorial Heavyweight Champion. Praise be to Mystra.
Harrys: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WZCW World Tag Team Championship!
[YOUTUBE]pc2GXtwnxJU[/YOUTUBE]
Green strobe lights flash as Mikey Stormrage bursts out onto the stage with a ton of extra energy. He poses for a moment before the music changes.
[YOUTUBE]OmND5_zHUD4[/YOUTUBE]
Matt Tastic comes out just as hyped up as Mikey, and both men bounce around the stage pumping up the crowd.
Harrys: Introducing first, the challengers, at a combined weight of 563 pounds, Mikey Stormrage and Matt Tastic, Live Más!
Copeland:These two have been best friends longer than any other team I've known in WZCW and they look to solidify that friendship by capturing the World Tag Team titles together.
Cohen:You make them sound like two love birds wanting to start a family, Seabass. They might still be friends but they've been through a lot and there is a lot of baggage we probably don't know about.
Connor:Even so, these two together have accomplished some amazing feats. Tonight could be no different.
Both men climb onto the turnbuckles and do Mikey's Game Over taunt before turning to watch the entryway.

Flex Mussél and Ramparte make their way out from the back. Flex doesn't have his duffle bag this week, as the champions stare down the challengers with pure determination on their faces.
Harrys: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 410 pounds, they are the WZCW World Tag Team Champion, Cerberus!
They slowly climb into the ring and hold the belts high, with Referee Keith Morse doing his best to keep the two teams separated.
Copeland:There is a buzz going through this crowd!
Connor:Why wouldn’t there be? The longest reigning Tag Team Champions in WZCW history are about to face their biggest test yet!
Cohen:Cerberus is about to end the embarrassment that is Live Más once and for all, and in doing so, cement themselves as the best tag team this company has ever seen.
The former World Champion decides to start the match against Flex, who is rearing to go.
* DING DING DING *
They size each other up for a moment before locking up. Mussél, the stronger of the two men, wastes little time before taking control with a side headlock. He tries to take Tastic over, but Matt is able to use his agility to flip through and land on his feet. Before Flex can react, Tastic grabs a side headlock of his own and drives the champion’s chest down into the mat. Rather than attempting an escape, Mussél stretches his leg out and is able to make contact with the bottom rope, forcing a break. Matt gets up and backs away. Flex slowly gets up, a look of frustration etched on his face. The two men lock up once more, and again Mussél controls with a side headlock. He once again goes for the takeover, and this time when Tastic attempts to flip through, Flex grabs the hair, slamming Matt to the canvas. He quickly flips onto his knees and begins working back to his feet, but Mussél manages to keep working him back down. Tastic decides to change tactics and slides back until he goes under the bottom rope, slips out of the headlock, and stands on the floor. He quickly pulls Flex’s legs out from underneath him and before the champion can react, Matt leaps onto the apron and slingshots over the ropes with a tope atomico, driving Mussél’s head and upper back into the mat. Ramparte calls out to his partner from the corner, and Flex rolls over and tags out. Tastic considers a tag, but Ramparte holds up his hands, challenging the former World Champion to a test of strength. Matt looks with a surprised expression before heading in to accept the challenge. He locks his left hand with Ramparte’s right, but before their other hands are locked, Ramparte goes to the eye of Tastic and follows up with a very quick snap suplex. A cover doesn’t even get a one count, so Ramparte quickly gets to his feet and stomps away before putting his boot right on Matt’s throat in a blatant choke.
Connor:I’m not a huge fan of these tactics, but it’s hard to argue with where Matt Tastic is right now.
Cohen:The ego of Matt Tastic placed him right in Ramparte’s perfectly laid trap.
Ramparte makes eye contact with his partner and begins booting Tastic toward Flex. Once Matt arrives in the corner, Ramparte chokes away again. Referee Morse backs him out of the corner, which allows Flex to hop off the apron and bend Tastic around the corner post. Mikey charges into the ring out of frustration. The referee cuts him off, and Ramparte slips behind and begins to lay in more kicks to the exposed midsection of his opponent. Stormrage finally calms down enough to leave the ring. The champs make a tag, with Flex pulling Tastic back to his feet in the center of the ring. He slaps Matt a couple times before locking in an abdominal stretch. Mussél clubs away at the exposed midsection a bit, before increasing the pressure by reaching down and pulling up on one of Tastic’s legs. He cries out in pain as Flex puts as much torque on the ribs and abdominal muscles as he can. Matt manages to wriggle out and score with a couple right hands. With the separation, he runs the ropes, but Flex is able to recover in time to catch Tastic in a fireman’s carry, and drops him into a gutbuster. Mussél wastes no time in going for a cover with both legs hooked, 1…2.., Tastic rolls his shoulder out. Flex manages to hold onto a leg though, and rolls into a half Boston crab. Mikey starts pacing up and down the apron clapping to try and get the crowd behind Matt as Mussél sits deep in the hold.
Cohen: How can you not admire Cerberus? They’re leaving the loser Mikey Stormrage in the corner and dissecting a former WZCW World Champion.
Copeland:I don’t agree with your assessment of Mikey, and you also ignored the questionable way Cerberus took the advantage, but I do have to agree with the rest of what you said.
Tastic is able to push his chest up off the mat to relieve some pressure and starts crawling toward the nearest rope. Unfortunately, that rope is right near Cerberus’ corner. Flex reaches back and tags in Ramparte, who immediately stomps on the outstretched hand of Tastic. Mussél pulls Matt back toward the center of the ring as Ramparte charges off the far ropes, leapfrogs over his partner, and lands with a double stomp perfectly to the back. Flex slides to the floor and grabs Mikey’s leg as Ramparte rolls Tastic over for the pin, 1…2…, Stormrage manages to break free and just break up the pin in time. Mussél reaches into the ring and grabs Mikey’s foot before he can get up and pulls him to the floor. Flex attempts a knee to the midsection, but Stormrage catches the leg, lifts Flex, and tosses him overhead with a fallaway slam. Mikey lets out a roar on the floor, with Ramparte screaming at him from inside the ring. That screaming stops due to a rollup by Tastic, 1…2., Ramparte kicks out. He scrambles back to his feet, but eat a spinning wheel kick to the jaw from Matt. Mikey is back on the apron, pounding the top turnbuckle with the entire crowd clapping along. Both men are crawling toward their respective corners, but Mussél is still on the floor on the opposite side. Flex does manage to grab a nearby chair, however, and toss it into the ring. The referee goes to clear it as Tastic makes the tag. Matt rolls to the floor and Mikey charges in, but is cut off by Morse, who didn’t see the tag. Stormrage yells at the referee while, on the floor, Tastic uses the apron and ring post to slowly get back to his feet. Flex charges at him, but his European uppercut connects with nothing but steel. Morse and Mikey both turn when they hear Mussél cry out in pain, allowing Ramparte to hit Stormrage with a low blow. He crumbles in a heap and rolls to the floor near his partner.
Copeland:Keith Morse missed a huge call there and it might cost Live Más the tag titles.
Connor:I wouldn’t be so sure. Yes, Matt Tastic is in a bad way, but Flex might’ve just broken his arm on the ring post.
Mussél manages to use his good arm to roll Tastic back into the ring and rolls in himself after. Ramparte signals for the end and tags in Flex after he steps out of the ring in Cerberus’ corner. With some assistance from Ramparte, Flex lifts Matt, but before the champions can connect with Beauty’s Bitch of a Bite, Stormrage charges back into the ring, grabs Ramparte, and plows both members of Cerberus hard into the corner with a variation of the Jump Man Splash. Tastic falls over the top rope, but manages to hang on and stay on the apron. Mikey tosses Ramparte to the floor and sets his sees his partner on the apron. He lifts Tastic and carries him to Live Más’ corner, and tags himself in. Stormrage charges for another Jump Man Splash, but Flex steps out of the way at the last moment. Mikey catches himself so he doesn’t crash hard into the corner. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Ramparte up on the apron and ducks, causing Mussél to get hit by his partner’s Ink Mist. Flex stumbles backward, crying out in pain. Mikey turns to take advantage but Ramparte manages to grabs his head and snap it back over the top rope. Stormrage stumbles forward and bumps into a still blinded Mussél. Flex manages to grab a small package out of instinct, 1…2….
Tastic gets in the ring at the last moment and turns the hold over putting Mikey on top. He plays defense to prevent Ramparte from coming in as the ref begins to count, 1…2…..
Ramparte bull rushes and slams himself and Matt into their partners, breaking up the hold. All four men slowly get up and begin to swing away at each other. Ramparte gets the upper hand on the weakened Tastic while Stormrage easily avoids the wild swings from Mussél. Ramparte gets enough separation to attempt a springboard stunner. Mikey sees it just in time and tackles Matt out of the way. Ramparte lands hard, jarring his spine. Stormrage lifts Ramparte to his feet and tosses him to the floor. Mikey and Matt look at each other and both do Mikey’s Game Over taunt. Stormrage climbs to the top as Tastic throws Flex off the ropes. Matt catches Mussél in a pop-up gutbuster, and Mikey flies off the top with the Flying Burrito, smashing Flex down onto Tastic’s legs! Matt rolls out as Morse counts, 1…2….
3!
Harrys: The winners, and NEW WZCW Tag Team Champions, Live Más!
Matt slides back into the ring as the two men look at each other in disbelief for a moment, then share a massive hug. Referee Morse hands them the belts and raises their hands to a roar from the capacity crowd.
Copeland: The reign of Cerberus is over! The tag team division will now Live Más!
Cohen:I never thought I'd hear the words and I don't think I'll ever want to again! I cannot believe Cerberus would let those two goof-balls take the titles they worked so hard to keep away from them!
Connor:If the problems inside Cerberus weren't big enough, this may cause an even bigger rift through the group. However, congratulations to Matt Tastic & Mikey Stormrage on their championship victory! Mikey is now a record 3x Tag Team champion & Matt has become the 2nd-ever Grand Slam champion right behind Showtime.
Cohen:What selfish men, hogging all the glory for themselves! They should be ashamed!
*********************************
We transition to a dimly-lit room where Constantine sits with his face completely covered by the darkness.
Constantine:The pinnacle of my career passed me by just as quickly as I had reached it by the men who I thought I considered my allies... but it's the story of my career, isn't it? Being betrayed by everyone whom I call an ally. They took away my championship, my health... and my family... and this time, I could not let those despicable acts go unpunished.
Constantine stands up, his face still buried in darkness.
Constantine:I came back and did away with the so-called legendary Ty Burna; a powerful man turned to ash in seconds. I came for the second man - Dorian Slaughter - with the same intentions, looking to squash him like the insect he is and reclaim my World Heavyweight Championship he ripped from my hands. But then you stepped in, Theron Daggershield.
Constantine looks down at his hands, balling them into fists.
Constantine:As I went to deliver the judgement Slaughter so desperately deserved, you stood in my way and let him crawl with whatever strength his wretched body had left to safety. You protected a man who needed to be destroyed. How does one call themselves a righteous crusader by defending the life of a guilty man who took everything away from the innocent? You are no righteous man Theron and tonight, you will take Dorian's place!
Constantine lifts his head and removes the darkness from his face, looking directly into the camera.
Copeland: We’d like to welcome the principal owner of WZCW Mr. Banks out here with us ringside as he will be closely watching our next contest and will present the winner the World Heavyweight championship!
Mr. Banks stands up and waves to the crowd before taking a seat near the commentary table to watch the World title match.
TALE OF THE TAPE
Constantine was taken out by Dorian Slaughter & Ty Burna prior to defending his World Heavyweight Championship at Gold Rush.
After recovering from injury, Constantine vowed to destroy both men and recapture his championship.
His bloodlust took out the new World champion Dorian Slaughter, forcing him to vacate the title.
Theron Daggershield not only beat the World champion Dorian Slaughter in singles competition but came to his aid before Constantine could finally destroy him.
The match was made for Theron to take on Constantine to determine the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Connor: Are you excited boys? It’s world title time!
Cohen: And time for Constantine to rightfully claim what is his.
Copeland: I think Theron would have something to say about that.
Cohen: It doesn’t matter what he has to say because this exact same match happened last year at the Lethal Lottery and it didn’t end well for him.
[YOUTUBE]X9qc3YbusfQ[/YOUTUBE]
Theron appears at the top of the ramp to a thunderous ovation as the crowd cheers him on and little children can be seen with various Daggershield signs and merchandise. He uses his gigantic prop sword to signal down to the ring and begins to make his way down the ramp while rolling a d20 dice. He enters the ring and gets on the turnbuckle and poses for the crowd one more time before pointing to the vacant World championship sitting on a plaque near the announce table.
Copeland: That was then and this is now, it may be Theron’s time to claim the WZCW World title.
[YOUTUBE]CFZ9g9vEdbE[/YOUTUBE]
Constantine emerges at the top of the ramp to a mixed reaction. He pays no mind to any of it however as he keeps his eyes focused on Theron as he saunters down the ramp and slowly makes his way into the ring.
Copeland: While some think Constantine was justified in his actions toward Dorian Slaughter others think Constantine may have gone too far in his quest for revenge. The question tonight is whether that same viciousness will lead Constantine to his second World title.
Cohen: The answer to that question is obviously yes Seabass, Theron doesn’t have what it takes to beat a man who will do whatever it takes to win like Constantine.
Connor: As much as I hate to agree with Cohen Seabass I do wonder if Theron is ready to take on a man who’s in a moral grey area such as Constantine.
Constantine enters the ring and quickly goes face to face with Theron much to the dismay of the referee. He mouths the words “I will break you” to Daggershield before backing off into his corner and Theron at the request of the referee does the same.
Harrys: The following contest is set for one fall and is for the WZCW World Heavyweight Championship!!!!
The crowd cheers at the announcement of a World title match.
Harrys: Introducing first, from Stephenville, Texas, "The Warblade of Mystra, Theron Daggershield!"
The crowd erupts at the announcement of one of WZCW’s true heroes and Theron poses with his prop sword as little kids can be heard yelling at the top of their voices.
Harrys: And his opponent, from The Depths of Despair, weighing 265 pounds, he is Constantine!
The former world champion once again receives a mixed response but again Constantine does not care as he continues to stare a hole in his opponent. The bell rings and the two immediately lock up.
* DING DING DING *
Constantine gets the advantage however and backs Theron into a corner. The ref calls for a clean break and it looks as if Constantine will oblige until he goes for a swing which Theron ducks and delivers a haymaker of his own surprising Constantine quite a bit.
Connor: Constantine looks a bit surprised there doesn’t he?
Cohen: Just shocked by Theron’s lack of respect for the rules is all.
Theron backs off and gives Constantine room to get out of the corner and the two men lock up again. This time Theron gets the advantage getting Constantine in a headlock. The former world champion however powers Theron off however and The Warblade bounces off the ropes straight into a massive shoulder block sending Theron to the floor. Constantine wastes no time following up however as he hits a knee drop onto Theron and immediately hits a repeated strikes to his downed opponent. He picks Theron up and Irish Whips him off the ropes, Constantine attempts a clothesline but Theron ducks and he locks in an arm-bar but his opponent quickly wiggles his way out and slides under the bottom rope looking to take a breather while holding his arm.
Copeland: This may not be as easy as Constantine thinks it’s going to be.
Theron mockingly opens up the ropes for Constantine to get back in but the former World champion doesn’t take too kindly to the taunt. He signals for Theron to back off so he can get in and once Theron turns his back to oblige Constantine quickly grabs The Warblade’s leg and pulls him under the bottom and throws him straight into the steel steps! Theron holds his neck and back in pain but Constantine wastes no time picking Theron up and launching him straight into the barricade! Constantine then delivers repeated knee drops to an injured Theron and chucks him under the bottom rope into the ring.
Connor: Constantine has really taken a vicious turn and it may come at the expense of Theron’s health.
Constantine quickly makes the cover on Theron 1...2...Theron kicks out! Constantine delivers repeated headbutts to a downed Theron much to the dismay of Daggershield fans all throughout the arena. He picks him and puts him in the corner and continually stomps away at him as the ref calls for him to back off. Constantine begins jaw-jacking back and forth with the ref allowing Theron to recover and scoop Constantine up for Northern Lights suplex right into the bottom turnbuckle! Constantine’s body crumples in pain as Theron is still recovering from the previous attacks.
Copeland: Theron hit a devastating move there but can’t capitalize due to previous injuries, It’s any man’s game right now.
Both men struggle to their feet but Constantine gets there just a little bit faster and charges at Theron but is met with a elbow smash dazing Constantine. He then gets behind Constantine and hits an Atomic drop and goes for the cover 1...2...Constantine quicks out! Theron wastes little time staying on the attacks as he goes to the top rope and waits for Constantine to make to his feet. The former World champions turns around straight into a missile dropkick knocking Constantine halfway across the ring with his neck once again crashing into a turnbuckle. Fans begin to cheer Theron on as he makes to his feet and signals for the Critical Hit. Constantine struggles to his feet and Theron measures him for his finisher but Constantine was laying in wait and counters to Critical Hit into a devastating backbreaker! He doesn’t stop at one however as he repeatedly hits multiple backbreakers to the point where the crowd can hear Theron scream out in pain at the very force Constantine is putting on Theron’s weakened back. Constantine eventually just drops him on the mat adding insult to injury and goes for the cover 1...2….Theron just barely powers out.
Cohen: You know despite my personal dislike for him I have to hand it to Theron there, the dissecting of Theron’s back by Constantine cannot be an easy thing to fight through, but he may just be prolonging an inevitable loss with a career ending injury.
Constantine begins to become a bit frustrated by Theron’s reluctance to stay down. He then begins to grind his boot across Theron’s face almost in a sign of disrespect. He picks Theron up by the head and delivers a vertical suplex landing Theron once again right on the injured back. Constantine follows up with a sidewalk slam once again dropping Theron on his back and follows up by hooking the legs 1..2...Theron kicks out! Constantine goes to question the referee about the speed of his count but begins to notice Theron attempting to recover and thinks better of a rookie mistake. He makes his way over to continue his assault but Theron quickly rolls Constantine up for a pin! 1...2...Constantine just barely breaks out! Theron attempts to capitalize on the surprise but is met with a devastating Lariat from Constantine almost turning him inside out! Constantine is almost seemingly done playing games as he chucks Theron to outside and quickly follows. He then begins to pull the monitors off of the Spanish announce table as it becomes very obvious that he intends to cause more harm to Theron.
Copeland: This is about that time where we say goodbye to one of our beloved Spanish announce tables.
Cohen: Trump must be really proud.
Constantine picks up Theron looking to hit the Cabin in the Woods but Theron hits repeated strikes looking to get out of it! Dazed Constantine loosens his grip on Theron allowing The Warblade to attempt to hit the Critical Hit but once again Constantine counters! He then reverses it into a Depths of Despair sending both men straight through the Spanish Announce table!!!!!!
Connor: OH MY GOD!!!
Cohen: Constantine’s neck!!!
Copeland: Theron’s back!!!!
The crowd is shocked, stunned, and excited at what’s just happened and even Mr. Banks looking on at ringside is entertained by the recent developments. The ref begins to count as both men are down on the floor.

Constantine is almost under the bottom rope but Theron is grabbing his leg to stop him!
Copeland: Can either man make it in on time?
10!
Neither man makes it in! The ref calls for the bell and the official decision is soon made.
Harrys: Neither made it back inside the ring at the count of ten therefore this match is draw!
Copeland:No way!
Cohen:We're ending without a champion?
??? : I don’t think so!
Mr. Banks snatches the microphone out of the hands of the ring announcer much to the surprise of everyone.
Banks: There’s no way we’re ending this match like that. Restart the match with no count outs, no disqualifications, NOW!
The crowd erupts as the ref has no choice but to restart the match!
Constantine wastes no time picking up a beaten and battered Theron and chucking him straight into the ring to capitalize on previous events. Theron looks lifeless as Constantine looks to hit the Cabin in the Woods but Theron springs back to life and hits the Critical Hit out of NOWHERE!!!!!!
Connor: This may be it!
Copeland: All Theron has to do is hook the leg!
Cohen: Constantine no!
Constantine is out but Theron clutches his back in pain unable to capitalize for a few seconds. Eventually he is able to crawl over Constantine’s body and hook the leg!
1….
2….
Thr-NO! Constantine just drapes his foot over the bottom rope breaking the count! The crowd is in disbelief as Theron’s is devastated from almost having victory in his grasp.
Copeland: Theron’s previous injuries stopped him from immediately going for the cover and may have just cost him the World title!
Theron drags Constantine back to the middle of the ring and pain and begins to scale the top rope looking to hit the Limit Break! Theron leaps off the top rope but Constantine moves out of the way! It makes no difference however as Theron lands on his feet! He turns around however straight into an Isolation from Constantine! He hooks the leg! 1...2...kickout but Constantine catches Theron’s leg and hooks him straight into an STF!
Cohen: Tap out Theron! TAP OUT!
The crowd is going crazy urging Theron not to tap but he screams out in pain as he struggles to make it to the ropes. There’s nothing he can do however as Constantine has all his weight on him in the center of the ring! Theron sees there’s no point in trying to drag his body weight along with Constantine and instead rolls over pinning Constantine’s shoulders to the mat!
1….

Constantine kicks out! Both men get up and Constantine charges at Theron but runs right into the Critical Hit! Theron cover him!

Copeland: He did it! Theron really did it!
Connor: Theron Daggershield is the new World champion!
Cohen: I can’t believe what I’m seeing…
The fans erupt with happiness as Theron’s arm is raised he lies on the ground exhausted followed by the ref checking on Constantine who quickly rolls out of the ring also exhausted from the war. Mr. Banks claps his hands in support of both men but grabs the World title and enters the ring. He helps Theron to his feet and presents him with the World title much to pleasure of him and the fans and Theron is able to raise it high in the air with a tremendous smile before falling back down with the title in his arms.
Copeland: Both men put up a hell of a fight but in the end it was Theron finally accomplishing the dream of a lifetime and winning the World title!
Cohen: I truly can’t believe what I’m seeing…
Connor: Well believe it Jack because Theron Daggershield is not on top of WZCW and will defend the World title at Kingdome Come.
Daggershield is eventually able to make it to his feet one more time and pose on the turnbuckle with his newly won title before being helped to back by the officials.
The crowd is settling down from the previous World Heavyweight Championship encounter, readying themselves for the main event match that lies ahead.
Copeland:What a night it has been thus far, ladies and gentlemen! Personal scores have been settled tonight and every championship that was put on the line gone home with a new owner. Two new champions were crowned and two more were decided from those that were vacated. We've definitely shaken up things here tonight but it is far from over!
Connor:If anything, business is about to pick up as we get to the entire reason we are all here tonight and that is to kick off the biggest battle in WZCW history; the seventh annual Lethal Lottery match!
The crowd goes wild as the announcement of the Lethal Lottery starting plays across the titantron in the 02 Arena. Everybody stands on their feet in anticipation and excitement!
Cohen:Old rivalries will be re-ignited and new feuds will be created. Old partnerships will break and new alliances will form, even if only temporary. It is a place where everyone - both old and new - will be put to the test for the rare opportunity to main event the grandest stage for the biggest prize in our industry.
Copeland:But before we do, let's take a special look at the Lethal Lottery by the numbers...
[YOUTUBE]d_lbaJOvNK4&t=0m31s[/YOUTUBE]
The Lethal Lottery
What makes this match so special? Well, let the numbers do the explaining:
30
30 competitors will enter the match looking to capture the richest prize in our industry: a shot at competing for the WZCW World Heavyweight Championship in the main event at the biggest stage in history, Kingdom Come!
160
The total number of competitors that have entered the harsh gauntlet over the years including...
15
The amount of WZCW World Heavyweight Champions that have competed in the Lethal Lottery, including all three WZCW Hall of Fame legends and Matt Tastic who won the very first and only Lethal Lottery with the title directly on the line. However...
6
Only six winners have emerged victorious in the Lethal Lottery match. An impressive set of WZCW superstars:
We see a clip of Big Will eliminating Steamboat Ricky to win Lethal Lottery I
We see a clip of Titus eliminating Carmen Bratchny to win Lethal Lottery II
We see a clip of Showtime eliminating Big Dave to win Lethal Loterry III
We see a clip of Ty Burna eliminating Big Dave to win Lethal Lottery IV
We see a clip of Drake Callahan eliminating Rush to win Lethal Lottery V.
Finally, we see a clip of Matt Tastic eliminating Chris K.O. to win Lethal Lottery VI.
It will be a tough battle indeed to get to the end but there are also some other records on show:
7
The record number of eliminations that the 6’6, 585 lb, Japan native, Manzo eliminated in Lethal Lottery I.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Aaron Craig.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Rajheem.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Davinda Jeatter.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Tom McBrady.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Glacier.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Murfish.
We see a clip of Manzo eliminating Chris Cobain.
It took 5 Lethal Lottery events for Manzo’s record of 7 eliminations to be matched by the man who has eliminated the most men throughout their years competing in WZCW: Ty Burna!
14
The number of eliminations that Ty Burna has accrued over the many Lethal Lotteries he has competed in thanks to his impressive performance in 2014, beating the previous record of Big Dave's of 8.
1
Whilst WZCW doesn't recognise time as an official record, Glacier only managed to do battle inside Lethal Lottery for 1 mere second, holding the record for the shortest time in the match.
Just as Glacier enters the ring, Manzo furiously rushes him, only to deliver a massive clothesline, sending him right back out of the ring, eliminating him from the match.
1 also represents the longest time spent in the Lethal Lottery: Steven Holmes, Drake Callahan & Ty Burna all spent almost 1 Hour in Lethal Lottery IV, Lethal Lottery V & Lethal Lottery VI (respectively). Holmes entered the competition at #2 and was the 28th man to be eliminated whereas Ty Burna entered #1 and was the 27th man to be eliminated. However, it would be Drake Callahan's efforts that would prove fruitful as he won the entire event after entering in at the #3 spot.
Speaking of the #3 spot...
#3, #7, #13, #8, #6
These are the numbers that previous winners have entered at. Despite the luck of having the final spot, it seems that the lower half is where someone wants to enter the event. But perhaps the most convincing stat of them all!
1/2
50% of Lottery winners went on to the main Event of Kingdom Come to emerge victorious.
But the number that matters most in the Lethal Lottery is the number lucky enough to host the sole survivor who will go on to challenge for the WZCW World Heavyweight Championship at Kingdom Come.
We get clips from past Lotteries. We see people teaming up, eliminating one another, performing amazing acrobatics, and then finally end on a clip of last year’s Lottery winner, Matt Tastic, staring up at the Kingdom Come sign after his victory.
The crowd cheers for the video package, ready for the match. WZCW Ring Announcer Truman Harrys stands in the middle of the ring, raising the microphone to his mouth to introduce the match.
Harrys: The following contest is the Lethal Lottery match!
More cheers from the mostly British crowd.
Harrys: In this match, 30 participants will enter. The participants were drew #1 & #2 will begin this match. After a period of time, another participant will enter the match and will continue to do so until all 30 participants have entered the match. Participants can only be eliminated from the match by being thrown over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. The remaining participant who stands in the ring as the sole survivor will be declared the winner of Lethal Lottery VII and go on to main event Kingdom Come for the WZCW World Heavyweight Championship!
Connor:Let's get this thing bloody started!
Cohen:What she said! Let's do this!
[YOUTUBE]1_Hto9j-EDY[/YOUTUBE]
The crowd gives off a mostly positive reaction to the man who represents America with too much pride. Max Steele walks out from the back with Old Glory in his hands and waves it about. He raises it in the air - to which some of the crowd don't appreciate - before marching down the ramp.
Harrys: Introducing the entrant that drew Number One, from the Motherf*cking United States of America, weighing 280 pounds... Max Steele!
Copeland:This entry doesn't come as a surprise due to Max Steele suffering a loss to Constantine during the Roulette Rounds where the loser would automatically draw #1 in the Lethal Lottery this year. Despite most victories stemming from early entrants, nobody has won from the first position. It's going to be tough for the American veteran.
Cohen:Nothing is too tough for Max Steele, Seabass. Just saying his name makes you tougher than before!
Steele enters the ring and plants his flag in the middle of the ring with pride, posing with it for a moment before readying himself for the match.
[YOUTUBE]B3NdXha5Hyg[/YOUTUBE]
Harrys: And the participant who drew Number Two, from Boston, MA, weighing 275lbs pounds, "The Sadistic" Logan McAllister!
Logan receives boos from the crowd as he walks out into a red light holding his sons' hand. Logan stares down the old man with malice whilst his son Hayden smiles with glee to see the veteran. McAllistor brings his son down the ramp, holding him close to him as he walks down the ramp. Logan gets to ringside and puts Hayden over the barricade and into an empty chair next to a familiar face. Hayden smiles as Logan turns to Steele and slowly enters the ring.
Connor:A relative new-comer to WZCW, Logan hasn't exactly had much success here. Maybe tonight with his son in the front row, he might have a chance to rectify that or at the very least, turn some heads.
Cohen:If standing up to legends and taking out some of his competition isn't enough, I don't know what will get people to start paying attention to Logan. He's an admirable father, too! What's not to like?
Logan enters the ring and stares down Max Steele who stands in the middle of the ring, rearing to go. The music of Logan dies down, replaced by the noises of the crowd. A couple of seconds pass before the bell rings to start the match.
* DING DING DING *
Copeland:Here we go!
Steele taunts for the fans, looking directly at Logan who doesn't seem too impressed with his antics. Logan goes for a direct punch but Steele blocks it, giving Logan a big right hand back to his face. Logan goes for another shot but Steele blocks once more, punching Logan again. Steele gives Logan three more punches to the face, backing him towards the ropes. Steele whips Logan across the ring and gives him the Freedom Boot right to the face, knocking Logan down to the canvas. Steele parades around the fallen body of Logan, rallying the fans before he runs the ropes as best he can to look for the FAT MAN LEG DROP... but Logan is quick to evade the hit! Steele hits nothing but canvas, grabbing his legs in pain. Logan shakes his head and slaps Steele right across the face. Logan laughs and taunts to a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Connor:Just over a minute in and already Logan is showing disrespect.
Logan picks up the veteran and looks to toss him over-the-top rope... but Steele turns it around, throwing Logan over! Steele cleans his hand with his back turned, looking to pose. However, he sees that Logan has managed to hang onto the top rope, surviving this encounter. Steele goes to address the situation but Logan delivers a stiff shoulder through the second rope. Logan grabs Steele's head and drags its through the second rope, delivering a nasty DDT to the ring apron. The crowd feels the intensity of that hit as Logan manages to land on the apron and slide back into the ring. Steele lays there motionless as the count-down begins playing down...

Entrant #3: Dr. Zeus
Zeus walks out with his hospital bed and pushes it down the ramp, taking his time down to the ring. Logan stares at Zeus with a bewildered look on his face.
Copeland:He's still lugging that thing around?
Cohen:Could be a smart strategy to help him for later.
Zeus gets to ringside and stares at Logan, who beckons him to come into the ring. Zeus snickers and slides into the ring. Logan attacks Zeus with everything he has but Zeus withstands the pain and eventually counters with a series of throat thrusts. Logan holds his throat as he has trouble breathing, allowing Zeus to smack Logan with a big headbutt, forcing Logan into the corner. Zeus wraps two hands around the throat of Logan, choking him as he best he can to subdue him. Zeus lets go, letting Logan catch some air as Zeus turns to Steele who is slowly recovering. Zeus grabs Steele and cautiously throws Steele over the top, making sure he lands on the apron.
Connor:What's Zeus planning?
Zeus goes through the second rope and places his hand on the throat of Max Steele, choking him with EUTHANASIA! As Zeus has the submission locked, he looks down to the hospital bed below and smirks. He lifts up Steele into the air and CHOKESLAMS STEELE RIGHT INTO THE HOSPITAL BED! Steele crashes into the frame, breaking it to pieces. The crowd is in shock from what has happened as Zeus smiles, observing the wreckage with glee.
Harrys: Max Steele has been eliminated!
Copeland:Oh my God! Zeus destroyed Steele!
Cohen:What the hell does he think he's doing to such an old veteran? The most conditioned body wouldn't do too well after that... but someone like Max Steele? That's got to be it for him!
The referee's and medical personnel attend the scene and look after Max who isn't moving as Dr. Zeus gets back in the ring, admiring his work before turning to the titantron to await for the next participant.

Entrant #4: Steven Kurtesy
The look on Dr. Zeus' face goes from glee to shock as he hears the theme of his old rival. The crowd cheer and get on their feet as Steven Kurtesy walks out from the back, relying on a cane to keep him upright.
Copeland:He's back! Former World champion Steven Kurtesy is back!
Connor:In his first ever appearance in the Lethal Lottery!
Kurtesy has a huge smile on his face as he throws away the cane to the side and runs down the ramp with all his strength. Kurtesy bypasses the wreckage on the outside and slides into the ring, going straight after Zeus and tackling him to the ground hard. The two psychiatrists battle it out with fists flying everywhere! A recovered Logan McAllistor stays in the corner, witnessing the fight and leaving them to do as they wish.
Cohen:There is no love lost between these two lifelong rivals!
Zeus pushes Kurtesy away and shakes it head in disbelief, getting up to his feet and going for a throat thrust. Kurtesy swats Zeus' attacking hand away and throws one of his own! Zeus tries another but Kurtesy evades, going behind Zeus and putting him in a Dragon Sleeper hold! Kurtesy looks around the arena before dropping Zeus' back into Kurtesy's knee. Kurtesy follows up with a snap Russian legsweep and rolls through to his feet. He throws his hands up in the air and the crowd cheers for Kurtesy's return.
Copeland:He walks out with a cane yet he hasn't missed a step!
Kurtesy sets up in position to take down Zeus one more time. Zeus slowly gets to his feet and Kurtesy goes for PRESCRIBED SEDATION... but Zeus pushes Kurtesy away from him. Kurtesy turns around and is met with a big throat thrust to the (well-documented) injured throat. Kurtesy drops to the ground in pain, struggling to breath. Zeus mounts Kurtesy and chokes him out as another count-down comes up.
... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!

Entrant #5: John Doe
Doe down the ramp past whatever is left from the wreckage from earlier and slides into the ring, immediately going over to aid Zeus. Kurtesy tries fighting Zeus back with some headbutts, giving him a second of relief until Doe enters the ring and delivers a spinning back fist to Kurtesy, keeping him down. Doe looks up at Zeus, hesitating to attack. Doe & Zeus analyse each other intensely for a few seconds before both going after Kurtesy.
Connor:A potential ally for Zeus in John Doe. I wonder how long that will last?
The two continue to attack Kurtesy to a booing crowd as Logan watches from the sidelines. He approaches Zeus & Doe and gets extremely close but neither of them seem to care at the moment. Logan gets extremely pissed at this, standing behind Zeus and grabs him around his waist.
Logan:Peek-a-boo, ********.
Logan lifts up Zeus and sends him flying with a German suplex. Doe is alarmed and goes after Logan but Logan evades the attack, delivering a German suplex of his own to John Doe. Kurtesy gets back to his feet as Logan surveys the damage. Kurtesy gives him his thanks and a nod but Logan punches him in the face before giving Kurtesy his own German suplexes. Logan McAllistor stands up in the middle of the ring with all three men on the ground in pain and let out a big roar to an applauding crowd.
Copeland:I guess Logan was getting tired of being ignored.
Cohen:He just reminded everyone that he is in the match still and can provide some destructive power.
Logan goes after the freshest man John Doe and puts him in the corner, throwing multiple knee strikes into his stomach before trying to eliminate him from the match. Doe hangs on for dear life with Logan doing everything he can to get rid of Doe. Zeus staggers to his feet and attacks Logan from behind, allowing Doe to get back on his feet. Kurtesy recovers and grabs Zeus, pulling him out of the corner and across the ring into his own. Kurtesy tries eliminating Zeus as Doe counters, attacking Logan in the opposite. This remains until the count-down begins again...
... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!

Entrant #6: Armando Paradyse
The crowd boos as Armando Paradyse comes out extremely excited, jumping up and down with glee before running down the ramp.
Connor:Let's see if Armando's training has paid off for him.
Paradyse jumps Kurtesy from behind before running to the other side to attack Doe. Zeus staggers out of the corner, giving Paradyse an opportunity to run and attack Zeus as well. Doe goes over to Paradyse to try for an attack but Paradyse grabs the attacking arm of Doe and chucks him over the top. Paradyse grabs Kurtesy and goes the same to the next rope. Paradyse repeat this process with both Zeus & Logan, throwing them over the top on each side of the ring. Paradyse runs circles in the middle of the ring cheering at the top of his lungs as if he won the match already. He has his eyes closed and celebrates whilst jumping up and down.
However, little does he realise that all four competitors did not get eliminated and have now surrounded him. Paradyse opens his eyes and sees Zeus staring back at him. He turns around to see Doe doing the same. He tries to escape but Logan & Kurtesy block his path as well. Paradyse smiles sheepishly and pleads for mercy but he gets a headbutt from Doe, then Logan, Kurtesy & finally Zeus for his troubles, knocking him down.
Connor:Nope, I guess not.
Doe & Logan go back to fighting as well as Kurtesy & Zeus, leaving Paradyse to recover by himself. Logan works over Doe with a couple of body shots before stepping back, looking for a big attack. Doe dodges the attack and responds with a pele kick, catching the big man in the temple. Logan drops down to a seated position with Doe working him over. Meanwhile, Zeus tries to eliminate Kurtesy but ultimately pushes him back. This gives Zeus the opportunity to hit a spinning heel kick on Kurtesy knocking him down. Zeus & Doe remain tall as the crowd reminds the competitors of the count-down...

Entrant #7: Fallout
Smoke fills the stage as the crowd is surprised at another return to the Lottery. Dr. Zeus turns around with a huge grin on his face as he sees his former ally emerge from the smoke.
Copeland:Oh no...
Cohen:The Pale Riders are coming back, Seabass! Fallout has returned!
Fallout marches down the ramp to an excited Zeus who cackles maniacally and John Doe staring at Fallout, not sure what to make of him. Hayden in the front row cowers behind the barricade as Fallout walks past, entering the ring. He stands beside Dr. Zeus without even looking at him. Zeus admires him before looking over to Doe with a smile. Doe nods back at Zeus as the good doctor looks forward to see Paradyse, McAllistor & Kurtesy all recovering. They notice immediately of the alliance formed, taken aback by it. McAllistor & Kurtesy look at each other and seem to telepathically tell each other a plan.
Connor:Looks like this may end up being a three vs. three situation, guys... and not by choice.
However, Paradyse steps up to the plate with a cocky smile on his face.
Paradyse:I'm not scared! I'm Ar-
Before Armando can finish his sentence, Fallout punches him square in the face and throws Paradyse over the top rope.
Harrys: Armando Paradyse has been eliminated!
Connor:There goes that plan...
Logan & Kurtesy attack the group of three as best as they can and do their best to fend for themselves but ultimately, the numbers game is too much as Zeus/Fallout/Doe beat them all down. Zeus & Doe grab McAllistor and feeds him to Fallout, HITTING HIM WITH THE HALF-LIFE! Logan lays in the middle of the ring knocked out as Kurtesy does his best to get back up. Zeus smiles and LOCKS KURTESY IN EUTHANASIA, choking the life out of him. Fallout & Doe pick up the lifeless bodies of Logan whilst Zeus kisses Kurtesy on the forehead.
Zeus:It was nice to see you Kurtesy, my old friend.
But you've already lost this battle; your time has reached the end!
Zeus squeezes the last bit of life out of Kurtesy before driving him towards the ropes, forcing him over the top whilst Doe & Fallout throw Logan over the top rope. Both of them hit the ground simultaneously, unconscious on the floor.
Harrys: Logan McAllistor & Steven Kurtesy have been eliminated!
The crowd boos as John Doe, Dr. Zeus & Fallout all stand tall in the ring with Zeus smiling wickedly.
Connor:In a space of a minute, these three completely demolished the competition and eliminated them with ease.
Copeland:With these three on the same page, I don't know if anyone can stop them.
Cohen:I feel sorry for the next guy. You've got to be crazy to go up against these guys.
Fallout, Zeus & Doe turn towards the entrance ramp, waiting for the next person as the count-down once again comes up.
... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!
[YOUTUBE]YgSPaXgAdzE[/YOUTUBE]
Entrant #8: Alhazred
Connor:How about the one guy crazy enough to do anything?
The crowd cheers as Alhazred's music hits. He stands up on the rampway, stroking his beard and intensely looking at the trio in the ring. He just shrugs his shoulders.
Alhazred:F*ck it.
Alhazred charges down the ring with all his speed and slides into the ring. Going after Fallout, Zeus & Doe with lightning quick strikes. It proves effective for a few seconds until Fallout clocks Alhazred with a European uppercut, stunning him. Zeus fires a throat thrust to Alhazred and the group of three beat the absolute crap out of Alhazred in the middle of the ring. The fans boo loudly at the sight that could become the rest of the Lottery. They pick up Alhazred and look to toss him over the top but he hangs on with feline-like grip. They try their hardest to throw Alhazred over the top but he won't budge. However... all of a sudden, all three men stop and back away, holding their faces. Zeus has a disgusted look on his face whilst Doe covers up his nose holes and Fallout does his best to re-arrange his face mask.
Copeland:Did... did Alhazred just drop his guts?
Cohen:Phew... I can smell it from here! What the hell did that guy eat for breakfast!
Copeland:It's so bad it penetrated Fallout's gas mask!
Connor:... I... I think I'm going to be sick...
Alhazred gets down off the ropes and smells his own brand, almost knocking himself out. However, he recovers and flips all three of them the bird before running at Fallout with a big elbow strike, knocking him down. Doe tries to attack but Alhazred ducks and hits him with a heart punch. Doe clutches his chest as Zeus goes in but receives a strong right punch in the face. Zeus goes down and Alhazred goes after Fallout, mounting him and hitting a series of repeated elbow strikes. Alhazred continues the attack until Doe manages to recover and pulls Alhazred off, trapping his arms underneath his armpits and hits a couple of headbutts. Doe looks back and checks on the other two who are recovering, deciding to pursue Alhazred who has taken refuge in the corner. The count-down begins once more...
... 5... 4...
Copeland:Who is going to be next?
... 3... 2...
Cohen:Whoever it is, they better be ready to fight alongside Alhazred if they wish to survive.
Copeland:Alhazred may have just found someone crazy enough to join his fight.
Cohen:I thought Krypto was dead.
Connor:And it looks like Krypto is ready to go as he sprints to the ring.
Krypto, having sprinted to the ring, climbs to the top turnbuckle. He makes a leap and takes out both Zeus and Fallout. He hammers away with big punches to the downed Zeus, catching his squarely in the face. He then stands and runs at the downed Fallout and connects with a running shooting star press. He then gets to his feet and turns his attention Doe, who has Alhazred trapped in the corner hammering away with huge rights and lefts. Krypto leaps on his back and tries to pull him away from his former frenemy. It doesn't prove very useful, as Doe continues to hammer away. Eventually Krypto wraps his hands around the eyes and mouth of Doe, trying to pull him away. This proves fruitful, as Doe reaches back to try and throw Krypto off of him. This allows Alhazred to slip out of the corner and catch his breath. Doe and Krypto continue to struggle, with Doe getting the upper hand. He tosses Krypto over his shoulder and slams him onto the mat. The distraction the small Krypto provided is enough for Alhazred to connect with a vicious low blow to Doe, but instead of simply hitting him in his beanbag, he holds on tight with an iron grip. Doe screams in pain.
Copeland:Not exactly orthodox offense by Alhazred, but effective none the less.
Connor:I think every man in the audience is feeling that one.
As Alhazred literally leads Doe around the ring by the balls, Fallout begins to stir. He crawls over to Zeus and helps him to his feet and the two men advance upon Krypto, who rolls under the bottom rope to try to get to safety just as the countdown clock begins to go off.
...5...4...3...2....1...

Entrant #10: Dr. Coberer
Cohen:Talk about a real competitor.
Copeland:We haven't seen Coberer in some time, so ring rust may be an issue.
After his music plays Coberer comes slithering, literally slithering along the ground, to the ring. He slides into the ring only to slither right up to Dr. Zeus and hiss at him.
Connor:It looks like we are going to get a battle of the doctors.
Zeus stands tall, and Coberer simply slithers away, and tries to climb over the top rope. Zeus grabs him by the collar and throws him to the floor where Coberer slithers to the ground.
Harrys: Dr. Coberer has been eliminated!
Cohen:That was anti-climactic.
The Coberer distraction provides enough time for Krypto to roll back into the ring and dropkick Zeus to the ground. He then turns and dropkicks Fallout into the corner. Alhazred then releases his iron grip on Doe, who falls into the opposite corner. Alhazred and Krypto then exchange glances and nod and run and hit opposite bronco busters on Doe and Fallout just as the clock begins to tick down.
...5...4...3...2...1...

Entrant #11: James Howard
Copeland:Here comes the former Elite X Champion, James Howard.
Connor:With a chair in hand, this can't be good.
Cohen:He looks pissed and rightfully so, he was robbed of his Elite X championship in front of his home country.
Howard slides into the ring with the chair and lays out Alhazred with a shot over the head. Dr. Zeus charges but a chair shot to the midsection, followed up by a shot to the back put Zeus down. Doe and Fallout try to disarm Howard, but each man receive chair shots for their trouble. Howard turns his attention to the diminutive Krypto, who does his best to avoid the chair shots. He runs around the ring, he dodges each swing, until suddenly a flash of bright light hits the arena. The light moves until it stops on Krypto and begins to pull him into the air.
Cohen:What the hell?
Copeland:It looks like some sort of tractor beam.
Connor:It looks like Krypto is being pulled into some sort of mother ship to take him to his home planet.
Just as it appears that Krypto will finally be able to return home, James Howard climbs to the second turnbuckle and takes a swing with his chair. He knocks Krypto out of the tractor beam and to the floor.
Harrys: Krypto has been eliminated!
Cohen:Haha, it looks like Krypto will never get home.
Connor:That was certainly a weird moment. At least Howard appears to have lost his chair.
Howard hops down from the turnbuckle and finds Alhazred the first man to his feet. He softens him up with a couple of jabs to the midsection before he throws him to the ropes. Off the rebound, Howard leapfrogs but Alhazred connects with a Pele kick to knock Howard to the ground. As Howard tries to get back on his feet, the duo of Zeus and Fallout drag him to the corner and try to toss him over the ropes. He wraps his legs around the top rope, allowing him to fight easier. Meanwhile Doe again targets Alhazred. The two men begin to trade blows back and forth. Alhazred works quick punches while the larger Doe works power blows. Eventually Alhazred gets the upperhand and connects with a kick to the midsection and follows it up with a quick DDT to put Doe onto the mat and allow Alhazred a breather. He looks over to Howard, who is still hooked in the ropes. Zeus is doing his best to power him over, but Howard is hooked in tight. Fallout hammers away with big clubbing blows, but notices that Alhazred is trying to catch his breath in the corner. He runs and tries a splash, but Alhazred moves, leaving Fallout to crash chest first into the turnbuckle. He stumbles out of the corner and Alhazred connects with a one handed bulldog to put Fallout down. This causes Zeus to release Howard, who collapses to the ground. Zeus advances on Alhazred, and the two tie up. Alhazred slips behind Zeus, and locks in a sleeper.
Copeland:Alhazred is suddenly on fire.
Cohen:The countdown clock is ticking though, and there are no friends in this match.

Entrant #12: Eve Taylor
Copeland:And James Howard's eyes just lit up.
Cohen:The new Elite X Champion, who robbed James Howard earlier, will be looking to become the first female winner of the Lethal Lottery.
Connor:As much as I would love to see some girl power in the Kingdom Come main event, I don't know if Eve would be the best representative.
Eve takes her time getting to the ring, her eyes never leaving James Howard, who is now standing and awaiting her. She circles the ring, her eyes never leaving Howard. She picks up the chair Howard lost earlier and climbs onto the apron. Howard is immediately on her, hammering away with huge right hands. She falls to the ground, losing the chair. Howard starts to exit the ring through the middle ropes, but Doe is on his feet and tries to dump him over. This distraction proves enough for Eve to slide into the ring and set her sights on her competitors. Alhazred has Zeus on the ground, the sleeper still locked in. Doe has Howard in the corner, kicking away at his midsection, so Eve turns to Fallout. She grabs him by the head and slams him to the mat. She then stomps away, kicking at his mask. She grabs him and lifts him in the air and uses her nails to rake his back. Suddenly Eve is thrown over the top rope from behind. She manages to use her long legs to catch onto the ropes and save herself from elimination. She receives a swift kick in the midsection by Howard, who managed to rush out of the corner Doe had him in. He tries to eliminate her, but her legs work to her advantage. Howard, more content on dishing out punishment, grabs her by the hair and pulls her into the ring. He then plants her with a snap suplex. He checks the clock, as it counts down. He then leaps and drops a big elbow onto Eve as Zeus finally breaks the sleeper by crawling to his feet and slamming Alhazred into Doe, who then holds the mad scientist in place as Zeus begins to choke the life out of him.

Entrant #13: Vee A.D.Z.
Cohen:Next please, this guy has no chance.
Copeland:Quiet Jack. Vee has just as much chance as anyone in this match.
Connor:It will be a special night for him, as his girlfriend is sitting front row to watch his performance.
Vee stops to kiss his girlfriend before turning his attention to the match. The crowd cheers as Vee hops onto the apron and springboards in, taking down Fallout. He then turns his attention to John Doe, who has stopped pinning Alhazred down. Doe swings wildly at the charging Vee, but Vee ducks and springboards off the ropes with a hurricanrana, sending Doe into the corner. From there he runs and hits a flip kick. He then turns and hits a one legged dropkick to Dr. Zeus, knocking him off Alhazred. The evil doctor urges Vee to come at him, so Vee obliges. He runs and ducks an attempted clothesline. He springboards off the ropes, but Zeus catches him. He goes to dump him over the top rope, but Vee hangs on and actually pulls Zeus over the ropes with him. The two man are teetering dangerously on the apron when Fallout comes over and drags Zeus back into the ring. He then turns to Vee, who connects with a kick to the midsection through the ropes. He then connects with a sunset flip to the safety inside the ring, but catches a stray elbow from James Howard, who is hammering away on Eve. Howard pays no mind to the staggering Vee, who gets taken down by a big Lariat from Zeus, flipping him through the air.
Copeland:What a vicious lariat!
Cohen:He almost knocked Vee out of his boots.
Eve blocks a punch from Howard, and sweeps his legs from under him. She leaps in the air and stomps on the midsection of Howard with both feet, but her bad ankles cause her to lose her footing, leading to another huge lariat from Zeus. Alhazred crawls to his feet in the meantime, and Zeus barks orders and Fallout and Doe, who start to close in on the cornered man. Alhazred starts to throw hard rights, doing his best to fight off the two bigger men. As he tries to fight off the two men, Zeus walks over and the three men overwhelm Alhazred. Each Doe and Fallout grab an arm and Zeus begins to headbutt Alhazred until he collapses. The trio of Zeus, Doe, and Fallout stand tall as the clock begins to countdown.

Entrant #14: elegANT
Connor:So here comes elegANT, but I wouldn't be too excited if I was him.
Copeland:The odds are stacked against him right now.
Cohen:Did you know that elegANT made his WZCW debut in last years Lethal Lottery? Not that it matters as Zeus and crew will make short work of him.
elegANT walks around the outside of the ring, each time he tries to enter, Zeus' crew stalks him. Luckily Vee begins to stir, as does Alhazred, and the two take out Doe and Fallout respectively with dropkicks. They stumble into the ropes, but don't go over. This allows elegANT the time to slide into the ring and begin to take the fight to Zeus. He chops away with knife edge chops, backing him into the ropes. He then Irish whips him into the far ropes and takes him down with a leaping crossbody. He then shakes Zeus' hand and then runs the ropes and connects with The Nicest Elbow Drop You’ve Ever Seen, much to the approval of the crowd. Meanwhile Alhazred and Vee team up for some creative punch and kick combos to Doe and Fallout, backing them into the corner together. Alhazred then gets on his hands and knees and Vee runs and leaps off of him and splashes both men, causing them to collapse. Across the ring, Eve Taylor has pulled James Howard to his feet and wraps him in the ropes. She runs and spears Howard, sending both of them tumbling through the middle rope, to the floor.
Copeland:An impressive spear, but neither person are eliminated as they went through the middle rope and not over the top.
Connor:These two just plain don't like each other.
elegANT has taken to the second rope and waits for Zeus to stand. When he does he leaps and connects with a knee to the side of the face. He rolls out and connects with a stinger splash to Fallout, who is standing in the corner. elegANT is fired up and helps the team of Alhazred and Vee try to eliminate Doe. In fighting takes over though, as Alhazred sneaks in a shot on Vee, and the two start to trade shoves, leading to punches and forearms. elegANT tries to separate them, but Fallout comes in with a double axe handle across his back. He then lifts him in the air and slams him down with a reverse suplex. He goes to check on Doe, who talks some quick strategy before they turn their attention to Vee, who took Alhazred down with a roundhouse. Fallout spins him around and Irish whips him into the far corner. He then Irish whips Doe, who connects with a body avalanche. He then uses his boot to choke Vee. Fallout stomps on elegANT a few times before he turns to Alhazred. Alhazred shoves him away, but Zeus comes in from behind with a chop block and takes Alhazred down. Zeus then retreats to the corner to catch his breath, where he orders Fallout to toss Alhazred out.

Entrant #15: Gino Galluci
Cohen:Who?
Copeland:My notes say this is Gino Galluci, a former pizza chef, making his WZCW debut.
Connor:Now I want pizza. Let's wish him luck as we hit the half way point of tonight's match.
Gino makes his way over Howard and Taylor, who are rolling around the floor trading punches. He climbs into the ring and immediately targets Dr. Zeus. He runs and connects with a double axe-handle. He then connects with an uppercut of the European variety before he climbs and begins to punch away at Zeus, the crowd chanting as he gets to ten. On the other side of the ring, Alhazred is fighting with Fallout, trying to keep from being eliminated. Doe tries to drag Vee out of corner, but Vee connects with a desperation roundhouse kick. Doe is staggering around as Vee leaps to the top rope, only for Doe to gather his wits and shove Vee off the top rope to the floor.
Harrys: Vee A.D.Z. has been eliminated!
Cohen:Good riddance.
Connor:Tough break for Vee, who is walking over to his girlfriend in the front row again.
Doe looks around the ring for his running mates, and finds Alhazred with Fallout in a standing armbar. elegANT walks over to Gino and the two connect with a double suplex to Zeus. Doe walks to Fallout and Alhazred and clubs Alhazred over the head with a forearm. After Fallout shakes his arm out, the two double Irish whip Alhazred into the ropes. Off the rebound they both double over looking to back drop Alhazred over the ropes, but Alhazred connects with a double DDT, then he collapses. Eve Taylor has managed to crawl back into the ring, with James Howard in hot pursuit. Eve runs and leaps over Alhazred, and hits the ropes, where she takes Howard down with a spinning wheel kick. She gets to her feet and looks around and tries to go after elegANT, but Gino intervenes with a body block. elegANT can't help but shake hands with Gino for the help. The two then perform a double elbow drop to Eve. Howard, using the ropes, gets to his feet and sees Alhazred struggling to get to his feet. Howard seizes the opportunity and grabs Alhazred by the tights and throws him over the top rope as the crowd boos.
Harrys: Alhazred has been eliminated!
Copeland:Tough break for a fan favorite, Alhazred.
Connor:Make it two eliminations for Howard tonight.
Howard looks around and sees the downed Eve and signals that he is going to throw her over. He picks her up but a low blow by Eve stops him in his tracks. She rolls to a seated position in the corner and watches as Doe and Fallout move to take on Gino and elegANT. Gino is punching away at the head of the downed Zeus when a big boot to the jaw from Fallout knocks him away, followed up by a shining wizard to elegANT, who was working on a kneebar on Zeus. The timer begins to tick down.

Entrant #16 Abel Hunnicut
Cohen:Here comes my pick to win it all.
Connor:Abel has been nothing short of a monster in his short time in WZCW.
Copeland:And with the guidance of Steven Holmes, he may just pull off the big win.
Abel climbs onto the apron and over the top rope. Fallout runs at him but a big boot puts him down. John Doe charges but a clothesline ends the attempt. Zeus charges and gets flapjacked onto the top rope for his troubles. Eve and Howard put aside their differences for a moment to charge the monster, but double overhead chops but them both down. Gino and elegANT are on their feet, but wisely don't blindly run in. elegANT tries some kicks to the legs while Gino uses punches and chops in rhythm to try to take the big man off his game. Abel is backed into the ropes, but he kicks elegANT away and then grabs Gino around the throat and tosses him into the corner. He begins to hammer away with fists and forearms. elegANT jumps on the back of Abel, but Abel falls backwards squashing elegANT under his near two hundred and seventy pounds. Gino uses the opportunity to hop to the second rope and drop an elbow onto Abel.
Copeland:Abel has come in like a man possessed, but finally he is taken off his feet.
Connor:How do you get such a giant over the ropes?
Zeus, holding his throat, orders his soldiers to their feet. Eve stirs, but Doe locks her in a full nelson, causing her to struggle, unable to get free. This prompts Fallout to head over to Howard, who is wise to the advancing Fallout, and connects with a sharp punch to the midsection from his knees. He keeps punching away until he gets to his feet and connects with the TKO! He follows it up with the Tenzen choke! Zeus ignores Fallout and walks over to Eve and starts to punch away, she being unable to defend. Across the ring Abel is doing his best to deal with Gino and elegANT, who have him subdued. Gino is on the back of Abel, while elegANT works the legs with sharp kicks once again. Abel starts to teeter backwards, eventually falling and unintentionally dumping Gino over the rope. He manages to catch himself as the clock again begins to tick down.

Copeland:The crowd is electric as one half of the new tag team champions is up next.
Connor:How much do you think he has left in the tank after a grueling battle with Cerberus earlier in the night?
Cohen:Doesn't matter as fatty won't win. His destiny is to be outshined by everyone else.
Stormrage sprints, well quickly jogs, to the ring and slides under the bottom rope just as Gino Galluci hits the floor, courtesy of a big clothesline from Abel.
Harrys: Gino Galluci has been eliminated!
Stormrage first sees Dr. Zeus, who he takes down with a Live Mas slam. Doe releases Eve Taylor and then charges, only to be met with a Live Mas slam for his troubles. Abel turns, only to be met with the third Live Mas slam. Stormrage turns and grabs elegANT and slams with with his patented belly to belly suplex. James Howard releases Fallout from the Tenzan choke and charges his former friend and he eats a belly to belly. Stormrage looks around, the only man left standing, and lets out a loud "Game Over!"
Copeland:Its Live Mas Slam City as Stormrage cleans house on every standing member of the ring.
Connor:And at three hundred plus pounds, there will be no easy way to toss him over those ropes.
Eve Taylor stirs and catches Stormrage's attention. The new champs square off, Stormrage in total control with a headlock. He transitions to an Irish whip and throws Eve into the ropes. She hangs on though, and Stormrage telegraphs his next move, allowing Eve to hit a High Heel Kick! Eve watches as Stormrage stumbles backwards into the ropes. She tries to eliminate him, grabbing a leg, but she finds herself unable to lift the big man. Dr. Zeus joins the fight, trying to lift Stormrage, but they can only manage to get him a few inches off the ground as he hooks his arms around the ropes. elegANT and John Doe are both on their feet next. Doe begins to walk to Zeus, but elegANT cuts him off with a running forearm smash. He kips up, then runs the ropes and connects with a running senton back splash. Fallout, who is finally beginning to stir, crawls over to Eve and Zeus, and begins to try to get Stormrage over the top rope. This leaves James Howard alone, who wisely finds a corner and decides to catch his breath. As he breaths deeply, Abel, stirred on by the words of Steven Holmes at ringside, joins the fight to eliminate the rotund Stormrage. Just as it appears that Abel is the man to lift Stormrage, James Howard runs and throws Abel with a German suplex.
Cohen:Why did he do that? Stormrage was going out, but Howard saved him.
Copeland:Maybe he still respects his former partner. Maybe he saw an opening and took it. In the heat of the moment people do strange things Jack.
Connor:Meanwhile, the timer has almost counted down.

Entrant #18: Cassanova
Cohen:Now here is a guy who can go far.
Connor:He has nothing to lose tonight.
Copeland:It would be quite a moment for a rookie to win the Lottery, that is for sure.
Cassanova takes his time entering the ring. He sees James Howard working a modified kimura on Abel, who is trying to use the ropes to get back to his feet and break the hold. Eve has stopped trying to eliminate Stormrage, but Fallout and Doe are still hard at work. Zeus and elegANT are locked in a struggle, in a collar and elbow tie up, forcing each other around the ring. Cassanova, instead of entering the fight, perches atop the turnbuckle and begins to read from his sacred book.
Connor:What the hell? Why isn't he fighting?
Cohen:Being smart. He knows he doesn't need to fight yet, so why expel any excess energy.
Stormrage manages to kick Doe away, and then Fallout. He unhooks himself from the ropes and walks over to Cassanova and kicks him from his perch, his book falling to the ground. Cassanova responds in kind with a slap to the face. Stormrage slaps him back. The two start to slap each other back and forth, until a rake of the eyes gives Cassanova an advantage. Stormrage holds his face as Cassanova connects with a springboard kick to the side of the head, knocking Stormrage to the ground. Cassanova goes up to the top rope and leaps and connects with the Library Dive! A beautiful 630 senton. James Howard meanwhile is on the receiving end of some big punches from Abel, who then lifts Howard onto his shoulder and delivers snake eyes onto the nearest turnbuckle. Zeus has elegANT caught in a dragon sleeper. Doe and Fallout are back on their feet and set their sights on Eve Taylor. Eve looks for a way to escape their clutches, but ultimately fails. Doe manages to grab her by a hand full of hair and Fallout hoists her onto his shoulder. He goes to toss her out, but she again wraps her long legs around the ropes and make it a fight as the clock begins to tick down.
...5...4...3...2...1...

Entrant #19: Kagura Ohzora
Connor:Now here is a girl I could see main eventing Kingdom Come.
Cohen:She doesn't even speak the English.
Copeland:We are a global company Jack and Kagura would make a fine representative.
Kagura comes in with a flurry and knocks down Fallout with a jumping side kick. She then drops Doe with a judo hiptoss. Zeus advances to defend his soldiers, but Kagura unloads a series of elbows that push Zeus back. She turns and floors Cassanova with a shuffle side kick. elegANT gets to his feet but walks right into a red mist. This blinds him, even through his mask, long enough for Kagura to connect with the Fifth Dance of Amaterasu Omikami. A double heart punch that causes elegANT to stumble blindly toward the ropes, where a simple toss is enough for Kagura to score the elimination.
Harrys: elegANT has been eliminated!
Copeland:A shame as elegANT was my pick to win it all here tonight.
Cohen:How does it feel to be a loser Seabass?
Howard is on the ground holding his face, while Abel and Stormrage meet in the center of the ring. The two large men begin to shove each other, then trade right hands until Abel gets the advantage with a blocked punch. He connects with a kick to the midsection and hits a backbreaker on Stormrage. Howard is back to his feet now and uses a low dropkick to the back of the knee to take Abel down to a knee. Out of nowhere Eve Taylor runs in with a standing hurricanrana driver, the Mascarana! She then turns to Dr. Zeus and begins to throw rights and lefts, having seemingly found a second wind. Again though John Doe and Fallout save Zeus from much of a beating. Doe grabs her around the waist and works toward an arm wringer while Fallout climbs to the second turnbuckle and leaps, smashing down with a double axehandle onto Eve's arm. Kagura wastes little time and rushes toward James Howard and hits him with a knee, dropping him down to the mat where she locks on a reverse chinlock, trying to wear him down. Meanwhile Cassanova seams to have befriended Abel Hunnicutt, as the two work together to try to eliminate Mikey Stormrage. Abel lifts Stormrage in a display of raw power, and Cassanova helps to dump him over the ropes. Mikey hooks a leg around the middle rope and does his best to hang on as Cassanova tries to pry his leg free.
Copeland:Mikey could use a miracle.
...5...4...3...2...1...

Entrant #20: Matt Tastic
Connor:Listen to this crowd go nuts as last year's winner makes his way to the ring.
Copeland:It looks like Mikey Stormrage is getting his miracle in the form of the newest Gran Slam Champion, Matt Tastic.
Cohen:Why should fat ass get any help? Tastic needs to ditch him if he wants to win this back to back.
Matt quickly grabs a soda from a fan in the front row and takes it into his mouth. He climbs onto the apron and spits into the face of Abel, causing him to stumble backwards. He punches Cassanova hard in the jaw, sending him tumbling off of Stomrage. Tastuc climbs into the ring and helps his friend back onto the apron. Stormrage climbs back into the ring where he and Tastic then lift Cassanova over their heads and drop him to the floor below.
Harrys: Cassanova has been eliminated!
Stormrage thanks Tastic and the tag champs fist bump before they survey the scene. Dr. Zeus has taken to fighting with Abel, neither man able to gain much of an advantage. John Doe is fighting with Eve Taylor, Doe gaining the upperhand with a scoop slam, followed by a quick leg drop. Fallout and James Howard are trading blows, with Howard getting the best of the exchange using his MMA knowledge to work quick punching combos. This leaves Kagura, who Team Live Mas decide to leave alone, but Kagura is ready to fight and begs them to attack. They shrug their shoulders and advance upon Kagura. She readies herself, taking a defensive stance. She kicks at the knee of Stormrage, keeping him at bay. Tastic however gets in and ties her up. He works to a half nelson where he begins to unleash knee strikes to Kagura. Stormrage tries to get in on the action, but a blow to the back from John Doe stops him. Stormrage turns around and eats a big haymaker, stunning him. He wobbles and finds himself against the ropes. Doe runs and loads up a big clothesline, but Mikey reacts and backdrops him over the top rope. Doe manages to skin the cat however and quickly scrambles back into the ring before Stormrage can realize he didn't score an elimination.
Cohen:Good job Doe, way to stay on your toes.
Copeland:I certainly thought Doe was done after that.
Howard, meanwhile, connects with a kick to the kidney that causes Fallout to stumble back into Zeus and Abel, who are tied up in the corner. Abel simply swats Fallout away with a massive chop, but it buys Zeus enough time to slip out of the corner and try to pick Abel up and lift him over the top rope as the clock ticks down.
...5...4...3...2...1...

Entrant #21: Flex Mussel
Copeland:So the first of the former tag champs makes his way to the ring. You have to wonder how the earlier loss will affect his mental state.
Cohen:I think it will make him even hungrier to win.
Connor:He is certainly coming in at an opportunistic spot, only nine men left.
Flex makes his way to the ring and enters. He wisely avoids the obvious target of Team Live Mas, and instead goes after the weakened Fallout. A gutwrench throw puts Fallout back onto the mat. Flex then turns to John Doe, who tried to avenge his friend. He ultimately fails however and eats a big clothesline for his efforts. He ignores Zeus, who is still trying to muscle Abel over the top rope, and turns to Kagura. They tie up and Kagura tries to take him down with a judo throw, but Flex counters and slips behind, where he connects with a reverse DDT. Just as it appears he is in total control he turns around into Matt Tastic, who chops him across the chest. He chops him a few times, until he decides to Irish whip him into the ropes. Off the rebound Tastic throws Flex into the air, where Mikey Stormrage connects with an European Uppercut off the pop up, the Falcon Punch! Tastic and Stormrage slap hands before turning and being leveled by a double clothesline by Abel Hunnicutt, who not only freed himself, but put Zeus down with swinging neckbreaker before turning his attention toward the tag champs. Abel looks to his mentor Steven Holmes, who is at ringside, and Steven orders him to try to eliminate someone. He grabs Flex, but Flex fights back. The two trade blows, neither man giving an inch. Eve Taylor approaches and rakes the back of Abel, which allows Flex to take his down with an impressive throw. James Howard tries to go after Eve, but Flex steps in and grabs an arm and connects with a shortarm clothesline. Flex and Eve look around and stand tall as the clock begins to count down.
...5...4...3...
Connor:Number twenty two is next, who could it possibly be?
Copeland:The former tag team champions are back in business!
Ramparte jogs to the ring as James Howard stands his ground. Eve and Flex stand by the entering Ramparte. John Doe, Fallout and Dr. Zeus regroup opposing Cerberus and Mikey and Matt stand by James Howard. All 3 trios stare each other down waiting for the first move as Kagura and Abel seem stuck in the middle. They both survey their surroundings and the tension builds to see who makes the first move. In a sudden moment, Kagura turns her back from Abel and he uses the chance to lunge her out of the ring.
Harrys: Kagura Ohzora has been eliminated!
He rolls under the ropes. We see Steven by Kagura who gets up. She tries to attack Steven but Abel pulls her away, the referees quickly carry her away as she flails at them. She knocks several of them down as security has to come out and grab her.
Cohen:What has gotten into her?
Connor:Guys, look at the ring.
Copeland:I think a Trios Revolution might break out here tonight!
Live Mas Force, Cerberus and Zeus' new coven break out into an all out brawl. Fists fly everywhere as the fans go nuts and the clock ticks away.
Johnny Scumm appears and showcases his newly won title before running to the ring.
Copeland:Luck struck once when his #1 Contenders match turned into the actual title match. Will lightning strike twice?
Connor:We walked into this show with a vacant World title like last year, so who knows.
Scumm stops and just stares at the massive, violent brawl rather than straight up entering. Abel and Steven right by him. Eve delivers hard blows to John Doe's face. Howard clubbers away on Flex. Mikey exchanges with Ramparte. Matt Tastic and Dr. Zeus go at it. Fallout circles to attack whoever he can. Meanwhile, outside, Abel yet again with another blindside. He attacks Scumm as Steven barks orders and tosses him into the ring. Making him legal. Scumm gets up and straight away, Fallout is all over him as everyone keeps on brawling. Eve gouges at John Does mask and whips him across the ring. Matt and Mikey try a Double Suplex on Zeus, but Ramparte and Flex break it up. Beauty's Bitch of a Bite connects but Zeus near instantly attempts to toss out Ramparte. Only for Flex to break it up.
The Beard appears on the aisle. As soon as the music hits and his name is uttered, Dr. Zeus stops his attack and his eyes glisten. Beard sternly marches to the ring as the insanity slows down to a near halt.
Copeland:As if Dr. Zeus didn't have enough help as it is. Here's The Beard. The man who last year vacated the World title at that man's influence.
As everyone pairs off into quiet brawls around the ring, Beard enters with Abel outside looking on. Dr. Zeus grins happily and stares at his former Pale Rider counterpart and raises his arms. He screams at Beard.
Zeus: Come! Let us continue our ride!
For we must restore you to your old glory and pride!!
The tension builds as The Beard offers no response for a good while. Dr. Zeus gleaming the whole time. But Beard nods no and the crowd roars at the answer. And he knocks down the Good Doctor! Abel enters from behind and jumps Beard and the chaos erupts again! Abel hammers away at The Beard but he manages to get Abel off. Doe and Fallout attack and coincidentally pair off against the Tag Team Champions. Cerberus focus on James Howard and Johnny Scumm as the countdown begins for the next entrant.
Noah walks to the ring slowly, waiving to the fans but them clamoring for him to run catches his attention and he realizes the match he's in and does so.
Cohen:Oh, come on. Look at that. He doesn't even know he's in the Lethal Lottery.
Copeland:And yet that man has beaten a World Champion and been a contender for the Elite X Championship. I suggest not taking him lightly.
Noah enters the fray and pulls Abel. He chops him a few times and takes him down with a Black Out! In comes Johnny Scumm to stop Noah, but he's blocked. Noah wrenches the arm and hits a second Black Out. Matt Tastic pulls Noah from behind and eats a Black Out of his own! The crowd pops loud for Noah as he circles the field. He spots Eve Taylor and tries to throw her over, but fails. Beard comes in and whips Noah across the ring. He tries to attack but is taken down by a Slingblade. Noah looks like he's on fire. He signals to throw the staggering Beard over the ropes but Fallout and Dr. Zeus shove him across the ring! Noah goes over but manages to hold on as Zeus and Fallout are preoccupied with The Beard. Noah dangles but manages to get on the ring apron. But John Doe goes for a Clothesline! Noah ducks. He ducks a second time. But suddenly The Beard flies into the scene and is catapulted by Doe up and over and knocking Noah out of the ring with himself.
Harrys: The Beard and Noah Ryder have been eliminated!
Copeland:Unbelievable. I've never seen such a cohesive unit. These three could very well make it to the end and go from there.
Connor: What about Noah and Beard, Seabass? Beard stuck it Dr. Zeus. I fear that's not the end of that. And Noah shined bright even if it was for just a bit.
Zeus, Fallout and Doe survey the field and go in different directions to keep attacking everyone else as the clock ticks down.
Titus marches to the ring callously knowing what awaits him as Fallout, Zeus and Doe stop what they're doing and turn to Titus. They all lock eyes as Titus very carefully enters the ring. The 3 look at him and he stares them down. They pounce at him. But he punts them low!! A kick to the lower ding ding levels Fallout! Another one takes down John Doe! A third, emphatic one takes out Dr. Zeus!
Connor:What? That's rather uncharacteristic of Titus.
Mikey slowly gets to his feet and Titus spots him. He looks at Mikey. And before he can realize? A punt to the burrito! Mikey goes down. Johnny Scumm and Flex Mussel meet the same fate! Ramparte is kicked down low too. Abel is seen looking on and not getting up. James Howard gets up and is the last man to suffer Titus' wrath. He looks on and Eve Taylor stands tall opposite him. The two meet face to face with Eve daring Titus to kick her. He mouths off at her and claws her right in the right breast! Eve screams in shock and pain, but it doesn't last long as Titus quickly legsweeps her to the mat.
Copeland:I don't-I don't believe it.
Cohen:Oh my God! That was amazing! He just leveled 10 people! He did what he had to do! Titus is my hero!
Kendrick runs to the ring but before he can enter, Abel yet again uses an opening to attack Titus from behind. The two brawl and Kendrick see's the chance to get in and help take out Titus. They work together and whip the fallen hero across the ring for a double catapult. Titus slams the mat hard and Abel instant to betray. He shoots elbows at Kendrick who tries to fight back. But Abel is fierce and takes advantage. He hoists up his foe for the Worlds End, but Kendrick slides out and hits the EMP!
Connor:What an entrance for Kendrick Xavier. He just took down Abel Hunnicutt.
Cohen: Of course he did. Abel must be extremely exhausted. But guess what? He's still in this.
Kendrick tries to pull Abel up, but Titus gets back up and attacks Kendrick. He tries to kick him low, but Kendrick holds the leg. And hits an Inverted Atomic Drop. Titus grabs his crotch. So Kendrick decides to repeat the dosage. But before Titus falls down..... A Low Blow!!
Garth hobbles to the ring after his brutal match with Johnny Scumm. He foregoes Titus though and jumps on the fallen Johnny. Who can barely defend himself.
Connor:Garth must be very frustrated about the loss earlier in the match. Sebastian are you alright?
Copeland:I can't believe it.
Cohen:What? About Titus? I know. It's great! Never thought I'd be rooting for him.
Titus however, doesn't like being ignored. He goes for Garth but Eve Taylor stands up and grabs him by the hair. She pulls her and Flex and Ramparte get up. Crutching their lower area, they all gang up on Titus who has nothing to give back. Matt and Mikey help each other up, but John Doe, Fallout and Dr. Zeus cut the Tag Champs off. They then gang up on Kendrick. He manages to hit Fallout with an EMP. He goes for one on John Doe, but Dr. Zeus catches him and throws him out of the ring.
Harrys: Kendrick Xavier has been eliminated!
Garth and Scumm both get to their feet and keep brawling Garth throws Scumm to the corner and splats him with Getting Of The Train. He follows up with his GTS. The Blackout. But John Doe cuts him off and throws him out of the ring.
The lights dim and when they come back, Constantine appears in the ring. A little bruised, but that doesn't stop him. He instantly knocks down Dr. Zeus and hits the Depths Of Despair on John Doe. Fallout cuts him off, but the former #1 Contender bites Fallout. He pushes him to the ropes and eliminates him!
Harrys: Fallout has been eliminated!
Connor:Constantine has arrived and he's finally ended the trios' reign!
Copeland:John Doe and Dr. Zeus are still in there. So is Abel Hunnicutt and James Howard. And even that slimeball, Titus.
Cohen:Slimeball? Never thought I'd hear that out of your mouth.
James Howard gets up and attacks Constantine and the two square off. Meanwhile Eve and Titus are still going at it. Matt and Mikey get up and target Abel as Steven Holmes tells him to get away. They go for him, but Johnny Scumm and Ramparte interject. Dr. Zeus and John Doe don't seem pleased as they stay away. Titus manages to get the better of Eve and hoists her over the ropes. She holds on though. Ramparte comes in but Titus fights him off. Flex appears to intervene, but Titus kicks him low again! The crowd boos as Flex goes down on his knees. Titus screams at him.
Titus:You need their support to get anything done! But not me!! Because I'm a self made man!!
Titus keeps Flex low again. Flex screams in agony as Titus does it yet again. The fans are shown horrified by Titus' actions. Eve and Ramparte crawl to help, but Titus stomps on them. Another kick. As the clock runs down.
Connor:Stop it! Stop it, Titus!
Copeland: He keep kicking them in the dick! Why? Why does he keeping kicking them in the dick!
Another Hall Of Famer rushes the ring and Titus is instantly petrified! Showtime knocks down Titus with a series of fists. He slams him down and suddenly, the other wrestlers swarm to stomp a mudhole on Titus.
Connor:He's back. Showtime is back after an injury last year.
Showtime directs traffic and they all stand up Titus. They hoist him up in the air as he tries to fight back, but to no avail. He is thrown out.
Harrys: Titus has been eliminated!
Copeland:This is it. All the entrants have come out. This is the final group.
Cohen: I pick Hunnicutt.
The dust settles and Constantine attacks Showtime. He hits the Cabin In The Woods as Matt Tastic hits Dr. Zeus. Mikey goes for Eve Taylor. Abel Hunnicutt seizes the moment and in the ensuing melee grabs Showtime and tosses him out of the ring.
Copeland: WHAT?! No way!
Harrys: "Showtime" Cougar has been eliminated!
Showtime turns around to the ring shocked. He gets back up to his feet, but suddenly, Titus grabs him and tosses him against the guardrail. Security comes in to break it up. Titus looks pissed at Showtime and wants a piece of him as Showtime is on the defensive, still shocked at what happened. Security do their best to take the two to the back as the action in the ring keeps going.
Copeland:I cannot believe how Titus has been acting recently.
Cohen:Well, he is an actor, Seabass.
John Doe gets a hold of Johnny Scumm and tries to throw him over as Matt Tastic and Dr. Zeus exchange blows. James Howard is going head to head with Abel Hunnicutt. But Constantine interjects. He attacks Abel and scream at him. He stops to also scream at Steven.
Connor: There seems to be some resentment. Constantine may be mad that Abel took out his former Elite teammate.
In another corner, James Howard turns to Eve Taylor. Mikey comes in and the two double team her. Mikey elevates her for a Powerbomb and James springboards into..... Headshot!! They quickly grab Eve and toss her right out of the ring!
Harrys: Eve Taylor has been eliminated!
They quickly turn to Ramparte who is helping Flex up. They whip Flex to the ropes, but he manages to hold on. The grab Ramparte and also whip him. Aiming for Flex. Eve reaches her hand and pulls the top rope leading to both men going over upon collision.
Cohen:What is Eve doing?!
Connor:She was concerned for Flex after all those low blows he took.
Copeland: That concern just ended all of Cerberus in this match at once.
Harrys: Flex Mussel & Ramparte have been eliminated!
Eve looks on in shock as Strikeforce celebrate their reunion. Eve drops down from the apron, looking down at her stablemates. She doesn't know how to react as Flex & Ramparte recover. They are quick to ask questions, angry about what happened. Eve seems upset over the ordeal and tries explaining it but Ramparte walks past both Flex & Eve, walking up the ramp. Flex looks at Eve before following suit.
Copeland:There's been that underlying anger between this former team due to Cerberus claiming they were the best, and tonight it's come to bite them in grand form.
The Strikeforce reunion isn't long lasting though as Howard instantly breaks the fellowship and attacks Mikey. He tries to toss him, but Matt Tastic interjects and they go off into a corner. Johnny Scumm aims to push out Mikey while Constantine and Abel keep fighting. But from behind, Dr. Zeus pulls Constantine with Euthanasia. John Doe takes care of Abel by trying to push him over.
Matt and Howard brawl with Howard getting the better of it. He tries to whip Matt, but he counters it. Howard runs and uses the momentum to springboard into a Moonsault but Matt manages to kick him in the gut. He leaps onto Howard's shoulders and punches him several times before Huricanranaing him over the ropes and out. Matt skins the cat back in.
Harrys: James Howard has been eliminated!
Mikey gets back up as Scumm tries to Clothesline him out, but he ear claps Scumm. Stunned by it, Mikey and Matt team up and Clothesline Scumm over and out.
Harrys: Johnny Scumm has been eliminated!
Cohen:I'm seeing a trend here. These two are at it again.
Copeland: But Zeus, Fallout and Doe doing it was alright?
Constantine fights his way out of Dr. Zeus' clutches. But Abel attacks. He hits the Superiority Reflex to take down Constantine. Matt Tastic and Mikey are faced off by Dr. Zeus and John Doe. Zeus hits a Throat Thrust and a Spin Kick while Doe goes for a Spinning Back Fist. Mikey ducks it though and hits a European Uppercut. He follows with a second one and tries the Falcon Punch, but Doe blocks the attempt and locks a Full Nelson. Mikey struggles. He uses the ropes to get loose and Clotheslines John over them. But Doe lands on the apron. He uses the situation and pulls Mikey over as well. Abel hits a Swinging Neckbreaker as Mikey and John fight in a precarious position. John tries a kick, but Mikey catches it. He throws it to the side and John flies out.
Harrys: John Doe has been eliminated!
Copeland:An amazing run for John Doe in the Lottery.
Mikey turns to get back in the ring and Matt appears rebounding from the ropes! Sending Mikey off into the floor!
Harrys: Mikey Stormrage has been eliminated!
Matt looks on utterly shocked as do fans and Mikey, staring right at his partner.
Cohen:Serves him right. Haha. There goes Live Mas.
Matt turns to Dr. Zeus in anger. The Good Doctor just laughs evily and the two meet with stereo Clothesline knocking each other down. Mikey looks on at ringside, frustrated. Constantine starts to get the better of Abel as the two continue. Steven is shown slamming his hands hard on the apron. Constantine hits several headbutts onto Abel and holds him up for Steven to see. He gets up on the apron and Constantine releases him. He faces off with his former stablemate as the two bicker. Constantine shoves Steven off and he lands standing and laughing. Constantine turns and is met with a cane shot from Abel. It's Steven's cane. Abel uses it to hit Constantine in the back. He then throws him out to leave 3 in the ring. Steven looks at the leftovers laughing and Mikey is off in the distance still at ringside.
Harrys: Constantine has been eliminated!
Abel turns to survey what little field is left to cover as Matt Tastic and Dr. Zeus slowly get back to their feet. Abel see's his chance and takes a swing at the Good Doctor, but Matt catches the cane before it can connect. Abel struggles with it but Matt holds it in place with one hand. He cracks an arrogant smirk and elbows Abel. Making him let go of the cane into Matt's hand. Matt shoots a second elbow and aims to take a swing of his own. But Dr. Zeus grabs it from behind. He pulls on it as the two have a tug-of-war for it. Matt wrenches the cane which in turn wrenches one of Zeus' arms. Matt chops Zeus right in the back which makes him let go. But Abel tramples Matt with a Running Ax Handle.
Cohen:Abel and Zeus need to get Matt out of here so my blood pressure can go down. I do not want that clown on top again.
Connor: He's as good anyone and its clear he wants it bad.
Copeland:I'm still shocked by Titus' actions tonight.
Abel turns to Dr. Zeus who comes dashing in with a Lariat, twisting the Alaskan inside out. Zeus picks him up and tosses him over the ropes. But Abel, tenacious as he's been all match long, hangs on. Steven Holmes is seen stretching his arm and grabbing his cane. The Good Doctor turns his attention to last year's winner who is getting back to his feet. He grabs him by the head and pulls on it, but Matt headbutts him. He hooks Zeus and tosses him overhead with a Belly to Belly Suplex. Matt catches his breath as does Zeus at a slower pace. The Good Doctor leans on the turnbuckles to get back to his feet as Matt measures him. Matt he's his opportunity and dashes across the ring to hit the Guillotine Kick. Zeus is elevated off the ground before collapsing. Matt turns around, but is met with Abel who clutches Matt's face and STO's him to the canvas. Abel pulls him back up by his own face and pushes him to the ropes. Forcing him over. Matt tries to fight back but to no avail.
Copeland: This could be it for Matt Tastic. He's almost over and out.
Cohen: I don't trust Mikey being at ringside. We saw what he did last year.
Bit by bit Matt starts to slowly turn over. He tries to hang on as gravity starts to help Abel. But Matt manages to kick him in the face with good enough leverage. Abel staggers and Matt falls back into the ring. He charges Abel, but Abel gets down. Matt climbs on Abel and leaps into the air, which catches Dr. Zeus by surprise. Matt lands on his shoulders and punches him a few times but Zeus evades the fatal flip over. Zeus holds on and Powerbombs Matt onto Abel's back. Zeus catches his breath, exhausted from the long battle. He turns to the outside and smirks at Mikey Stormrage who looks at him seriously from ringside. He turns around and starts to exchange blows with Matt Tastic. Matt staggers and as he does, Abel hits a European Uppercut. Back and forth goes the punishment as Matt is caught between a rock and hard place. Matt tries to fight back but its too much. He instead lowers himself and knocks Zeus with a Drop Toehold. Abel kicks Matt and sets him up for Aristrocracy Reigns on the mat, but Matt fights off the hold. Abel hammers him in the back but Matt holds on. The two keep struggling around for leverage, but ultimately, Matt catapults Abel off his back and over the ropes. He lands on the apron, though. Abel gets back up as Steven shouts to support his ward. Matt stares at Abel waiting for a move to knock him down. As that happens, Zeus gets up. He rushes to throw Matt over, but Matt see's it coming and sidesteps him, knock Abel out!
Harrys: Abel Hunnicutt has been eliminated!
In an instant, Matt tries to shove Zeus over the top rope...
... but it doesn't work. The Good Doctor hangs on. Steven helps Abel up and screams at Matt Tastic.
Copeland:We could very well see Matt Tastic be not only the second Grand Slam Champion in WZCW. But also the first ever two time Lethal Lottery winner. He's so close to it.
Zeus gets back in the ring, but Matt takes advantage with several fists. He whips him across the ring and catches him with a Leaping Back Kick. Matt measures Zeus for a big move, but Steven gets on the apron but Mikey cuts him off. As that happens, Abel gets in the ring and hits The World's End. Security interjects though. Steven and Abel are taken away as Mikey stays in the distance at ringside. Zeus gets Matt and raises him on his shoulders to throw him over. But Matt grabs the ropes to block it. Zeus goes to another part to throw Matt over, but he holds on again.
Connor: Matt may have taken some unexpected abuse from Abel and Steven, but it's clear Zeus has taken too much of a beating at this point to take advantage himself.
Cohen: Matt's far more fresh than Zeus. Zeus basically started the match.
Zeus walks the ring, but Matt slides out the back. Several forearm shots stagger Zeus. Matt takes the lead and hits several shots to the stomach. He slides under and hits the Charge Shot. Dropping Zeus to his knees. Matt hoists him up on his shouders for the Headache Driver, but now Zeus gets away. He Throat Thrusts Matt who bounces off the ropes. Using the momentum he dashes, but is caught with the Euthanasia. Matt struggles with the hold as Zeus pushes him to the ropes. Matt kicks him though. Zeus covers his face in pain and Matt rushes at him. With his momentum, he tucks his head and rolls himself with his legs on Zeus' shoulders. Zeus teeters and Matt uses the momentum to flip the two over and to the apron.
Cohen: Not this again! Mikey is gonna help Matt win again!
Both dangle and hold on with their feet, fighting gravity to stay in the match. Mikey takes a few steps forward slowly towards Matt but Zeus manages to punch Matt in the gut. He falls onto the apron as Mikey hesitates. And he falls off!!
Harrys: Matt Tastic has been eliminated!
Dr Zeus lets go after seeing Matt hit the floor and quickly re-enters the ring!
Harrys: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE WINNER OF THE 2015 LETHAL LOTTERY MATCH....... THE GOOD DOCTOR! DR. ZEEEEEUUUUUUUSSSS!!!!!!
Copeland: We have a winner! By the skin on his hair, Dr. Zeus has done it!
Cohen: Thank God, Mikey Stormrage did not get involved.
Connor:I'm not thrilled. Dr. Zeus has done such horrible things.
Matt's on the floor clutching himself as Mikey checks up on him. Matt seems bothered but looks on at the ring dead serious. Dr. Zeus is in the ring as the lights dim and a single spotlight dangles above the winner. A sinister smile grows on his face as his creepy theme plays. Pyro blows above and on the stage as a referee comes in and raises the Good Doctor's hand.
Copeland:I hate to say it, but what an amazing performance by Dr. Zeus. Lasting so long and having such an effective plan.
Cohen:I told you, Seabass. This man is force to be reckoned with.
Connor:It seems the stage has been set for Kingdom Come 7. Theron Daggershield versus Dr. Zeus for the World Heavyweight Championship. And speaking of the Champion, look at the stage!
Another spotlight appears on the stage and we see someone else has arrived. Theron Daggershield hoists his newly won World Heavyweight Championship high above the air. Both men stare each other down as it seems the main event of Kingdom Come has been set. Matt and Mikey both hobble up the stage and Matt pats Theron on the shoulder. He raises his hand and Mikey does the same with the other. Both men endorsing Theron. He takes a step forward and points to Zeus and Zeus smirks. He then points back as the captions lead to the end of the show.
