Harrys: The following contest is scheduled is a Six Man Tag Team match scheduled for one fall!

The lights go dim as Dr. Zeus walks out behind his devout follower Chastity who winds up a music box and sings out incantations. Zeus pushes his hospital bed with his face once again hidden behind a disturbing mask.
Harrys: Introducing first, from Portland, Oregon, weighing 265 pounds, The Good Doctor Zeus...
Copeland: Ever since his return, Zeus has unleashed nothing but terror and fear amongst the WZCW locker room. With his win at the Lottery and his chance to capture the World title, we've seen a new level of focus & aggression.
Cohen: As if the old Zeus wasn't scary enough! Now he's got a mask and even more followers than last time walking alongside him. I don't know Theron is going to manage.
Zeus places the hospital bed at ringside under the care of Chastity who places the music box on the bed, caressing the bed with a smirk.

The lights stay dim as Constantine slowly shuffles out with a burlap sack over his head. He stops at the top of the ramp and directly stares at Zeus before slowly heading down the ramp, putting his hands to his head.
Harrys: His tag team partner, first, from The Depths of Despair, weighing 265 pounds, Constantine!
Cohen: Two strange bed-fellows, don't you think Seabass? Both two dominating men wearing masks over their faces and speak of nothing but destruction?
Copeland: There seems to be a lot of that going around yet I find it funny this is the first time these two are teaming together. WZCW might fall should these two find a common ground and join forces permanently.
Constantine enters the ring and removes his burlap sack in front of Zeus who does nothing but snicker at the sight. Constantine isn't affected by Zeus' reaction.

The boos for the two previous competitors were very audible amongst the chilling darkness but as the legend walks out, the boos grow even louder (drowning out whatever loyal fans are left) as Titus walks out. He is really excited to be there and tries to get the fans fired up, telling them to stand up and cheer.
Harrys: And their tag team partner, from Keystone City, Kansas, weighing 225 pounds, 2014 Hall of Fame inductee... This is........Titus!
Copeland: And to complete the delusional trio is the legend himself, Titus. There must be something in the water supply if Titus has been affected by this weird phenomena.
Cohen: If anyone is delusional Seabass, it's you. All this talk of poisoned water and weird phenomena makes you sound like a conspiracy theorist. Titus is a legend who is getting shown disrespect by this crowd despite his happy attitude and care-free lifestyle.
Copeland: I didn't know care-free lifestyle meant kicking people in the groin.
Titus enters the ring and ascends the turnbuckles, imploring the fans to stand on their feet to cheer but they do the opposite. Titus still has a smile on his face as he jumps down, a little hesitant at approaching his partners and stares them down.
[YOUTUBE]0eTjMNV__5M[/YOUTUBE]
The crowd cheers louder for the second legend who appears on the stage, forming a diamond in the air with his hands. He lowers them and a shot of pyro happens behind him before walking down the ramp, interacting with the fans.
Harrys: And their opponents, first, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, weighing 219 lbs pounds, 2014 Hall of Fame inductee, "Showtime" David Cougar!
Cohen: I don't understand the WZCW Universe. Titus has been the epitome of the word hero whilst Showtime has done nothing but villainous crimes his entire career and Showtime is the one shown nothing but cheers. What does he deserve?
Copeland: Despite all he has done, Showtime is a legend and with the change of music going back to his original theme, one could say Showtime has gone back to basics and is competing for the fans. Plus, he doesn't kick people in the gro- HEY! What's Constantine doing!?
As Showtime enters the ring, Constantine breaks away from his team and begins beating up on Showtime. No matter how much Showtime tries to struggle, Constantine is focused and beats the crap out of Showtime. Dr. Zeus stares on, snickering to himself. Senior official Jurou Akiyama tries to get involved but Zeus is quick to block the path as Constantine continues his assault, leaving Titus to watch.
Copeland: Oh c'mon! Someone do something!
[YOUTUBE]w7ommSPg8_Q[/YOUTUBE]
The crowd explodes as the World Heavyweight champion runs out from the entrance way at full speed! However, it is too late as Constantine manages to hit the Cabin in the Woods on Showtime, laying him out on the canvas. Theron slides into the ring and looks to go after Constantine, jumping on him. They throw punches at each other...
Cohen: The match hasn't started and a huge brawl is already happening!
... until Titus gets in-between the two and separates them, pushing Theron back in the corner and telling him that it is not appropriate. As Titus is pre-occupied with keeping Theron at bay, Constantine stomps on Showtime a couple of times. The crowd boos heavily as Titus ignores Constantine and keeps Theron away.
Copeland: What the hell is Titus doing? He pulls away Theron after one punch but Constantine can attack Showtime with ease and he gets no reprimand?
[YOUTUBE]OmND5_zHUD4[/YOUTUBE]
Copeland: Here comes the cavalry!
Tastic takes a couple of seconds to run through the curtain and makes a b-line to the ring. As he enters the ring, he pushes back Titus and the two get in each others' faces. Theron then goes over to the fallen body of Showtime, protecting him from another Constantine attack. Zeus - who is still blocking Akiyama from doing anything - snickers at the sight and lets Akiyama pass, getting the participants in order before the match begins.
Copeland: So much history between all six members in this match and so much more being written as we progress through to Kingdom Come!
Cohen: No wonder Akiyama has had a lot of trouble getting everyone under control! They should've made this a Mayhem Rules match; no way we get a decisive victory here tonight.
Copeland: With the brutal ambush by Constantine on Showtime, we might be having ourselves a handicap match instead!
Zeus, Constantine & Titus go to their own respective corner with Titus informing the others that he will be starting. Zeus & Constantine oblige and get on the apron as senior official Jurou Akiyama + Tastic & Theron check on the status of Showtime. As they do, Titus tells Tastic & Theron to get on the apron as he will start with Showtime.
Akiyama: He cannot compete!
Titus: He's just playing possum, ref! He is fine!
Titus goes over to Showtime to try and pick him up but Theron steps up and tells the legend he wants a piece of him. Titus puts his hands in the air and backs off.
Copeland: Can't Titus see Showtime is in no shape to wrestle right now?
Cohen: Didn't you hear Titus? Showtime is a master manipulator! He's even got his own team-mates believing he is actually hurt!
Some EMT's run out from the ramp and enter the ring, helping Showtime to the outside. They help Showtime walk up the ramp as Titus shakes his head. Senior official Akiyama checks his ear piece, listening to something before he goes over to ring announcer Truman Harrys and says for him to announce something.
Harrys: Ladies and gentlemen, I've been informed that General Manager Vance Bateman has decreed the following match will become a Handicap match!
The crowd boos as Theron & Tastic look at each other.
Harrys: Should "Showtime" Cougar be cleared to compete, he may come down to the ring and match will resume as a six-man tag team.
Theron & Tastic begin planning as Titus does some last-minute warm-up exercises with a big smile on his face.
Copeland: The odds are stacked against the current and former World champion, thanks to our esteemed General Manager.
Cohen: What else could Vance do? The fans paid good money to see this match. Plus, don't you think it is ironic that Tastic & Theron are relying on Showtime to even the odds? Since when has Showtime been a reliable hand to others in his career? Good luck, guys!
Tastic decides to start things off as Theron gets on the apron. Akiyama asks both men if they are ready to compete and they give a yes. Akiyama looks at Titus with a concerned look and asks him again. Titus gets annoyed, yelling YES at the referee again. Akiyama signals for the bell.
* DING DING DING *
Tastic goes straight for Titus who backs up into the ropes, demanding the referee back Tastic away. Akiyama reluctantly obliges and pulls Tastic away as Titus yells at Tastic to start the match properly. As Titus gets out of the ropes, Tastic goes straight for Titus again but Titus once again utilises the ropes for a break. Akiyama tells Tastic to wait for Titus and he backs off, annoyed at Titus' tactics. Titus runs on the spot for a couple of seconds before running a circle around Tastic who stands perfectly still in the ring. Titus pretends to circle the ring, looking to start the match traditionally but sees Tastic isn't playing by Titus' rules. So, Titus continues circling the ring around Tastic, waiting for him to start off with a collar-elbow tie-up.
Copeland: What the hell is Titus doing?
Cohen: He wants to start this match-up in the traditional way but Tastic is too arrogant to follow a simple request from the legend. I don't know what is up Tastic's arse but he should take this match seriously.
Tastic eventually breaks from his position and goes after Titus but the legend delivers a thumb to the eye as soon as Tastic gets close. The crowd boos as Akiyama warns Titus but he pleads innocent. Tastic holds his eyes as Titus quickly slips for a schoolboy pin...
... 1
... 2
... kick-out by Tastic.
Tastic eventually recovers from the eye shot and darts at Titus but the legend is quick to retreat into his corner and blind tags in Constantine, quickly exiting the ring. The crowd boos as Titus' cowardice as Constantine looks at Titus, questioning the decision. Tastic, however, doesn't wait for Constantine and brings him in the hard way. Tastic stares at Zeus, daring him to do something but Zeus just remains on the apron snickering. Constantine gets up and Tastic just lays in the punches & chops, one after the other in a non-stop fury, backing Constantine into the corner.
Cohen: How impatient is this guy? He can't even wait for Constantine to enter the ring! It takes like two seconds!
Copeland: I think Tastic is just pissed from his exchange between his tag team partner Mikey Stormrage earlier on tonight... add the fact that Constantine attack Showtime & Titus was acting like a dick, I'd say Tastic is rightfully angry.
Akiyama gets to a count of four before Tastic backs out of the corner with steaming blood running through his veins. He whips Constantine to the other corner and runs after, delivering a huge running chop to Constantine in the corner. Tastic throws Constantine back into the original corner and hits another running chop. Constantine staggers out into Tastic who delivers a beautiful Northern Lights suplex with a bridge...
... 1

... kick-out by Constantine.
Tastic puts Constantine in a headlock and brings him into his corner, allowing Theron to tag himself into the match. The two men grab an arm of Constantine and deliver a double suplex. Tastic slides out and Theron goes for the cover...
... 1
... 2
... count interrupted by Zeus.
Zeus snickers as he looks at Theron before turning his back and slowly walking back to his corner. Theron watches Zeus, wanting to attack Zeus but keeps his focus on the match. Zeus looks on with disappointment as Theron brings Constantine back to their corner, tagging Tastic back in. The two perform a double snapmare with Tastic following up with a dropkick. Tastic slaps a chinlock on Constantine, looking to tap out the burlap man.
Copeland: Despite being a man down, Theron & Tastic are completely dominating the other team with some great tag team wrestling. I guess this is why they say not to piss off a cornered animal.
Cohen: Tastic & Theron aren't animals, Seabass; they're people. Those two people have to work over three opponents whereas if one of them goes down, the other has to take on three. The team of three can afford losing one man if it comes down to that.
Constantine manages to get to the ropes, breaking the hold of the chin-lock and slips outside the ring. Akiyama tells Tastic to back off as Constantine catches his breath on the outside. Tastic obliges until Akiyama turns around, slipping outside himself. He goes after Constantine but the former politician throws a stiff lariat at Tastic, knocking him down. Constantine takes a second or two of the referee's count to recover before picking up Tastic and driving his back into the barricade. Constantine then enters the ring and gets a few words from senior official Akiyama. With the referee distracted, Zeus drops down and delivers a throat thrust to Tastic before running back to his corner. Theron drops down off the apron and approaches Tastic, looking to protect him but Akiyama catches Theron, telling him to get back on the apron. Constantine exits to the outside and brings Tastic into the ring, sliding in himself and goes for a cover...
... 1
... 2
... kick-out by Tastic.
Constantine brings Tastic into his corner and where Titus has his arm outstretched, ready for a tag. Constantine reluctantly tags him in (still a bit sour from being tagged in before) and puts him in the corner for Titus. Titus comes in and delivers a few choice European uppercuts before Akiyama gets to a count of four. Titus backs off as Zeus chokes Tastic whilst in the corner, looking directly at Theron on the other side of the ring. Theron looks to get involved but Akiyama sees this, reprimanding Theron. Meanwhile, Zeus & Constantine hold Tastic hostage as the legend delivers a couple of uncontested European uppercuts.
As the referee turns around, Titus sees this and yells at his team-mates for breaking the rules. He says they should model themselves after Titus who brings Tastic out of the corner and locks in a very clean sleeper hold on Tastic. Tastic looks to lose consciousness as he tries fighting but slowly drops down from a standing position down to a kneeling one.
Cohen: And this is what happens when the team of two expends their energy quickly against a team of three. It's just a war of attrition for Titus and his team.
Copeland: Yes, the legendary Titus who takes cheap shots when the referee isn't looking but when they are, he is squeaky clean.
Cohen: It took Titus long enough to learn the tricks of the trade but he is quickly become a master of it! If you don't get caught by the referee, it didn't happen.
The crowd cheers on Tastic as he is fading away. Akiyama goes over to Tastic and lifts up his arm, letting it go. It is limp as Akiyama counts 1! He lifts up the arm again and again, it just drops. Akiyama counts 2 as he raises the arm for a third time, ready to ring the bell. It drops... but Tastic keeps his arm afloat! Akiyama waves off the submission as Tastic starts getting blood flowing back in his body. Titus looks worried and concerned as Tastic looks to slowly get to his feet, fighting out of the hold. Titus desperately adds more pressure but it is no use as Tastic gets to his feet, delivering a few elbows to the stomach of Titus. He grabs hold of Titus' waste and delivers an overhead belly-to-belly suplex! Titus clutches his back as Tastic is almost spent. The crowd cheers on Tastic as he does his best to crawl over to Theron who has his arm outstretched. Titus sees this and is quick to tag in Constantine whilst Theron receives the tag as well!
Theron jumps over the ropes as Constantine enters, coming in with a flurry of elbow smashes for both Constantine and Titus. Theron knocks Titus out of the ring with an elbow as Constantine comes for the surprise attack. Theron evades and grabs Constantine for an Atomic Drop. Constantine holds his groin as Theron pushes Constantine into the ropes, making him rebound towards Theron with momentum so he can hit a sidebuster! He goes for the cover...

... Zeus breaks up the pinfall again!
Instead of exiting, Zeus grabs the neck of Theron and looks to choke the life out of Theron! Akiyama tries getting involved but the grip is too tight!
Copeland: As soon as Theron & Tastic catch a break, Zeus is there to ruin it! He's not even the legal man nor has he tagged into the match yet!
Cohen: Basic tag team wrestling; always have that ace in the hole.
Akiyama gets to a count of four when Zeus lets go and slides out of the ring. Theron splutters but gets to his feet and looks to go after Zeus, raising his hand. However, he looks to focus on the match instead. Zeus doesn't manage to break Theron's mentality - much to his disappointment - but Constantine uses whatever energy he has left to rip Theron away from Zeus and deliver a nasty swinging backbreaker! Theron clutches his back as Constantine crawls to the corner, tagging in Zeus for the first time in the match. Constantine rolls to the outside as Titus recovers on the apron. Tastic is still recovering on the outside, watching on.
Zeus enters the ring and sits down next to Theron, snickering as he caresses the head of Theron as he recovers. Realising what is happening, Theron goes to retaliate but Zeus grabs the swinging arm of Theron and locks in a cobra clutch, becoming really aggressive as he forces Theron to his feet. Zeus applies tight pressure to Theron before performing a cobra clutch suplex, planting Theron into the canvas. Zeus literally crawls to the cover, snickering...
... 1
... Zeus decides to stop the count pre-maturely.
Akiyama asks him what's wrong but Zeus just snickers, locking in a dragon sleeper on Theron. He wrenches back on the neck of Theron, enjoying delivering the pain to the World champion. Theron is having some trouble fighting out.
Cohen: Theron is in a desperate situation. Tastic is still recovering and not ready for the tag. Showtime is out and despite the submission draining his energy, Theron is the freshest man in the match. He needs to fight out of it now if he stands any chance of putting up a tough contest.
As Zeus continues the pressure, Theron looks to fade... but loud cheers suddenly fill the arena. Zeus looks around, noticing nothing until he looks at the ramp.
Copeland: It's Showtime! He's not down and out yet, Jack!
Showtime is staggering down the ramp with medical personal warning him about competing. Showtime ignores all their advices and heads down the ramp. Constantine drops down from the apron and looks to finish what he started but Showtime is ready for the fight! He blocks all of Constantine's shots and delivers his own pain towards Constantine!
Cohen: This is a handicap match! Showtime has been ruled out so this is a disqualification! Where is the referee's ruling!
Copeland: Remember what Vance said, Jack? If Showtime was able to make it, he would be inserted back into the match! They aren't the legal men but this is no DQ! Showtime is back for vengeance!
Constantine goes for a lariat but Showtime evades, hitting the Ratings Crash on Constantine on the outside! Showtime locks in the commercial break on Constantine on the outside, giving him some payback! Akiyama ignores the action in the ring momentarily to go to the outside, telling Showtime to let go and go to his corner. Showtime obliges and climbs on the apron, looking for a tag. Reinvigorated by the return of his partner, Theron powers out of the Dragon Sleeper submission from Zeus and gets to his feet, switching behind Zeus and delivering a back suplex, drilling Zeus' head hard into the canvas.
Theron & Zeus are on the canvas and look to crawl to their corners... but it is Zeus who is without someone to tag as Titus doesn't look ready for the tag. Theron crawls over to his corner and tags in Showtime to a big cheer! Zeus has no choice but to fight as Showtime comes in, firing on all cylinders as he hits multiple knife edge chops on Zeus before sending him across the ring. Showtime runs the ropes as well, connecting with a running spinning back elbow to Zeus, knocking him down. Zeus finds solace in his own corner as Showtime seems fired up despite being still hurt. He delivers stomp after stomp of the mudhole variety to the cornered Zeus until Akiyama warns Showtime of a possible disqualification. Showtime backs into his own corner, looking to do a running attack. As this happens, Titus jumps up on the apron and tags himself in quickly before dropping down. Akiyama sees this and acknowledges the tag but Showtime doesn't see it. Showtime runs and connects with a running knee, dragging Zeus' body to the middle of the ring looking for a pin... but Akiyama waves it off!
Showtime asks what's wrong as Akiyama explains. When Showtime understands what happens, it is too late as Titus is already perched on the top rope and dives off at Showtime, hitting his patent flying clothesline. Titus rolls through and stands up, pointing to his head. He runs a lap around the ring as if he just started the match and taunts for the fans, signalling for the end. The fans boo as Showtime slowly gets to his feet.
Cohen: Excellent catch by Akiyama there to see that Titus tagged himself into the match and Zeus is no longer the legal man. One precision shot takes down an injured Showtime and with Theron/Tastic out of energy, he has this in the bag.
Copeland: With Zeus & Constantine out of contention as well, it is still fifty-fifty. Showtime is getting up and still has some fight left. If Titus doesn't put away Showtime soon, he'll get a rude awakening.
Titus continues to taunt and waste time until Showtime gets to his feet. Titus kicks Showtime squarely in the stomach, takes his time and
sets up the Tit Drop... but Showtime reverses, grabbing Titus' legs and tries applying the Commercial Break! Titus struggles, making it difficult for him to lock it in.
At this time, Dr. Zeus' follower Chastity - who has been silent all match - gets up on the apron and begins arguing with the referee! Akiyama is distracted and tells Chastity to get down but she refuses. With the ref's back turned, Titus manages to slip a leg free and punt Showtime right in the balls! The crowd boos heavily as Showtime lets go, holding his groin region. Titus slips out and looks to get to his feet. With the referee distracted, Tastic tries getting involved but a recovered Zeus grabs hold of Tastics' feet. Titus rolls up Showtime as Chastity gets off the apron. Akiyama turns around and sees Titus pinning Showtime and slides in for the cover...
... 1
... 2
... 3!
Showtime kicks out after the three put Akiyama declares a successful pinfall, signalling for the bell. Titus gets to his feet and is absolutely ecstatic with the victory!
Harrys: Here are your winners... Dr. Zeus, Constantine & Titus!
Copeland: Once again, Titus steals a victory by using underhanded tactics even when he his team had the advantage of numbers throughout the entire match. If you thought this was a phase or a misunderstanding, you are now proven wrong by his actions tonight.
Cohen: Don't be sour, Seabass. Titus is a great legend who has wrestled many matches with many people. His ring psychology is through the roof and is showing us a newer, improved Titus and I, for one, cannot be happier for Titus in finding this niche.
As Titus celebrates his victory, Tastic kicks Zeus in the head (who was still holding him down by the leg) and enters the ring, confronting Titus. He questions Titus' tactics and points at him, driving his index finger into Titus' chest to further his point.
Tastic: What happened to the proud Titus I fought and made me humble?
Titus: He found himself, sport. Next time, huh?
Titus pats Tastic on the head a little too hard, pissing off Tastic. Titus quickly exits the ring and celebrates his victory, leaving Tastic in the middle of the ring seething. He looks like he is about to burst. Theron enters the ring, almost recovered and goes over to Tastic to console him about the loss but Tastic just puts a shoulder into Theron and exits the ring. Theron has no idea what happens as Tastic looks frustrated as hell walking up the ramp.
Cohen: What's gotten into Tastic? No need to be a bad sport about the loss.
Copeland: It's a variety of reasons, Jack. I really think Mikey's words did a number on Tastic's psyche. What happened in this match and seeing old rivals like Titus act the way they have seemed to trigger off something.
Theron looks to help Showtime to his feet but Dr. Zeus slides in from the outside and attacks Theron from behind, dropping him to the canvas. Champion and challenger duke it out in the middle of the ring. Showtime, still holding his groin, gets to his feet to try and take out Zeus but Constantine slides in from the outside. He grabs Showtime and throws him to the outside. Constantine ignores Zeus/Theron and follows Showtime to the outside. Both Showtime & Constantine fight each other with Constantine winning the exchange, forcing Showtime up the ramp with shot after shot. Eventually, Constantine & Showtime fight their way back into the entrance area, leaving only Theron & Zeus fighting it out with Chastity watching on from the outside. Theron pushes Zeus away and both of them get to their feet. Zeus goes for a swing but Theron manages an elbow smash, making Zeus stagger into the corner. Theron hits a running clothesline into the corner, knocking down Zeus.
Cohen: Somebody stop Theron before he does something extremely dangerous!
Copeland: With what Zeus has done to Theron and everyone before him, Zeus deserves a little danger coming his way.
Chastity enters the ring and gets in-between Theron & Zeus, looking to save her leader from any further pain. The gentleman Theron cannot hurt the woman and backs off, sliding to the outside. The crowd boos for a second at Theron but realises what is he doing as he grabs a buster sword from underneath the ring. He slides back in and Chastity scurries away. Zeus slowly recovers as Theron looks to smack Zeus... but the Children of the Damned (John Doe & Fallout) jump through the crowd and look to save Zeus! Theron sees them coming and takes a swing, smacking John Doe in the face. The buster breaks as Doe falls to the canvas, allowing Fallout to take down Theron. A recovered Zeus sees the sacrifice made by Doe and smirks before helping Fallout destroy Theron in the middle of the ring.
Chastity re-enters the ring and goes over to the fallen Doe, singing to him as she holds his head slightly elevated whilst Fallout picks up the World champion, keeping his arms behind his back to allow Zeus free shots at Theron. Zeus delivers headbutts and throat thrusts, unrelenting in his assault. Each shot makes Theron weaker and weaker at the knees but Zeus does not stop. Fallout is having trouble keep Theron on his feet but Zeus delivers a couple more shots. On the final blow, Fallout lets go of Theron who drops the ground. The crowd boos heavily as Zeus goes to the outside and snatches a microphone before re-entering.
Zeus: Theron the noble warrior of Mystra, is what you claim.
I intend to hurt you, break you and maim.
My victory in the Lethal Lottery is not what led me to you.
It is the words of a false idol you preach and spew.
There is only one God Theron and he chose me,
To destroy those who oppose him like you, you see.
I might be fighting for the World championship at Kingdom Come.
But it is my mission to end you and make your life undone!
Zeus drops the microphone on Theron's body and snickers. Fallout stands behind Zeus and makes sure Theron doesn't move any more. Chastity helps Doe slowly get to his feet, who eventually stands behind Zeus too. Zeus lifts his hands into the air and looks to the skies, talking to the God's above.
Copeland: What an extremely scary sight. No matter what that man does or the things he says, there are disciples always ready to follow: the ever-loyal Chastity & Fallout as well as new follower John Doe brainwashed by Zeus' words. I don't know how Theron is going to contend with Zeus at Kingdom Come.
Cohen: The simple answer is that he can't. Unless he can find people willing to stand by and receive a beating from the Children, he's got to do this by himself. If he truly earned that World championship, Theron will find a way to contend... if he even makes it to Kingdom Come.
The show ends with all four standing tall over the fallen Theron Daggershield.
