Meltdown 41

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Titus comes out to a huge pop with his new World title belt over his shoulder as he makes his way down to the ring.

Blade makes his way out onto the stage.

Blade charges and hits a clothesline, falling to his knees as he hits it. He then grabs Titus by the hair and begins punching the forehead of Titus.

Titus runs off the ropes and hits a knee drop on Blades face.

Titus jumps, hitting him with a flying clothesline.

Blade grabs Titus arm and jumps over the stairs, performing an arm breaker, with Titus’ arm and ribs smashing hard into the stairs.

Blade punches Titus, Titus punches back.

Titus grabs Blades legs locks in a British Figure-Four Leglock with Blade screaming out in pain.

Blade quickly slips beside Titus and flips him, hitting The Blade Runner out of nowhere. Suddenly Vengeance starts to slowly march down the ramp, looking viciously evil.

Copeland: What the hell is Vengeance doing out here?

Both men are out. Blade begins to crawl to Titus and drapes an arm over him. 1... 2..... Titus just kicks out. Blades pulls his hair in disbelief. Suddenly, without the referee seeing, Vengeance slides Titus' new title belt into the ring, with the belt coming to a stop just behind Blade. Vengeance gets up on the apron, distracting the referee as Blade gets up with the title belt and waits for Titus to get up. Titus gets to his feet and turns around into Blade smashing the belt off his skulls. Vengeance jumps off the apron and Blade picks up the now busted open Titus and hooks his arms, smirking. He hits the Halo and goes for the pin, 1... 2... 3!

Harrys: Here is your winner, Blade!

Copeland: I don't believe it. Vengeance slid Titus' new title belt into the ring for Blade to use against him. It seems like the ultimate insult to Titus...

Vengeance steps into the ring. The bloodied Titus grabs the pant leg of Vengeance who starts laughing. Vengeance picks Titus up and hits Judge, Jury, and Executioner on him. The crowd boos as Vengeance walks out of the ring. He grabs the new WZCW Heavyweight Title belt, slides into the ring and stands over Titus. He holds the belt high over his head as the show ends.

Harrys: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Now should either Vengeance or Ty Burna make the pinfall in this match, they will be the Number One Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at Apocalypse!

Out onto the stage, emerges a cloaked Ty Burna.

Vengeance makes his way onto the stage dressed in a hooded white robe.

Showtime makes his way to the ring.Titus making his way out onto the stage, he responds to their reaction by pointing in a panning motion back to them before heading down the ramp

Vengeance and Ty both double team and irish whip Titus, hitting a double back flip on him.

Titus kips up to an ovation and knocks Ty forward with an elbow from behind.

Ty grabs Showtime by the hair and slams his head to the mat

Vengeances uses the time to look at Titus with a sick smile

Vengeance hits the Judge, Jury and Executioner on Showtime. He gives a sign as Titus and mouthing “See you at Apocalypse”. He drops down to his knees and goes for the cover on Showtime, only at the same time, Titus reaches out with all his might and manages to tag Showtime’s foot, making a legal tag and he runs in to kick Vengeance in the face and run at Ty to knock him off the apron to the floor below.

Copeland: Titus finally getting some payback on these two monsters.

Titus feels the adrenaline rushing and sees Vengeance ready in position, so he runs at him and hits The Tit Drop, he goes for the cover but Ty is back up and drags him outside.

Titus jumps up to the apron and grabs Vengeance’s leg which distracts him, allowing Show to quickly lock in and hit The Final Act from the top rope, taking out both himself and Vengeance. Titus signals to the crowd as he climbs up the turnbuckle and measures the distance before leaping off with a graceful Red Comet which connects, the crowd get excited 1……2…..Ty drags Titus off from the outside.

Copeland: Damn, we thought Titus had it, but Ty had another thing coming!

Cohen: Neither Ty or Vengeance will give up that chance for the title.

Ty gets back into the ring as he stands stalking behind Titus who's getting back to his feet. Right before Titus up and can get a move in, Ty runs up and and hits the Consecrated Banishment to take the champion out.

Ty goes for another Consecrated Banishment on Showtime only for him to duck to take him and Ty over the top rope to the floor. Meanwhile on the inside of the ring, Vengeance gets a hand over Titus 1……..2……..3. The bell sounds but Showtime and Ty don’t care they keep exchanging lefts and rights with each other on the floor as the referees try to break up the brawling.

Harrys: As Vengeance made the pin, he is the Number One Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship!

In a moment of rage, Ty runs and slams Showtime’s back into the steel steps, getting in a rather angry state from the situation. Vengeance is still sitting before it finally hits him and a sick smile cracks through once again before he looks at Titus who’s slowly stirring, the stare just looks so deadly.

*Pryos go off*​

Copeland: Meltdown is live from Lexington, Kentucky as we are almost at Apocalypse, but everything seems far from fixed as we have title contenders to decide and the Dark Alliance of Ty Burna and Vengeance is getting stronger by the day. Will Titus be able to gain some ground with his World Title at stake? Hello again everyone I'm Sebastian Copeland, alongside Jack Cohen, we're at ringside for Meltdown and we got a few interesting factors coming up for tonight's show.

Cohen: I know, firstly from Ty Burna making sure Titus doesn't make it to Apocalypse to Austin Reynolds who was meant to be here actually getting banned from ringside as his Number One Contender is decided here tonight.

Copeland: Not to mention that two rivalries mix it up with Everest and Phoenix taking on USA and Garth Black. You think that they might be cautious with their big matches at Apocalyse being so near that they will sending messages without causing injuries.

Cohen: Unlikely to happen! And we will also see Baez...The Killjoy finally losing his Mayhem Title as he takes on Gordito. Word is that Vance Bateman has finally come up with the match for Apocalypse, hopefully we'll find out tonight about it!

Copeland: But let's get on with it as we have some straight up wrestling with Chris Jones taking on John Smith.

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

“Amaranth” by Nightwish hits and smoke starts to rise from the entrance. When it clears, Chris Jones is shown standing there, as though he appeared from nowhere.

Harrys: First, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and weighing in at 227 pounds, Chris Jones!

Jones poses on the turnbuckles and takes off his overcoat as “Sound of Madness” hits and John Smith appears on stage. He begins walking to the ring with little reaction from the crowd.

Harrys: And his opponent, from London, England and weighing in at 250 pounds, John Sm…

As soon as Smith enters the ring, Jones starts the attack. Forearms and knees take down the big Brit. He follows this up with a running knee drop. Smith begins to try and get back to his feet, but Jones hits him with a running leg-drop bulldog as Smith just makes it back to his knees. Jones picks up Smith, and drops him with The Lifesaver! Jones almost goes for the cover, but instead goes to the top and hits a huge moonsault! 1…2…3!

Harrys: The winner of this match, Chris Jones!

Copeland: Wow, clearly Jones wasn’t being paid by the hour for that one.

As he finishes saying that, “Falling On” by Finger 11 begins to play and the General Manager of Meltdown, Chuck Myles, makes his way to the ring with a mic in hand.

Cohen: Shut up, Seabass. The boss is here!

Myles enters the ring and begins chuckling as he watches Smith fighting to get back onto his feet.

Myles: So…John Smith…is that what you’re going by? Well, “Mister” Smith, I can see right through the B.S. No parent, not even a damn, dirty Brit would name their kid John Smith. So, we did some research. And when I say research, I mean we kept an eye on you when you took that drug test.

Fear races through the eyes of Smith as Myles laughs again until he starts speaking again.

Myles: You know what we found out when you took that test, “John?” That you aren’t really John Smith at all. I wish I could tell you the name was clever, but I don’t like to lie. You aren’t even a man, Anita. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, this pathetic excuse for a wrestler is a woman named Anita Dick. So, Anita, get the hell out of my ring, and the hell out of this company. We don't have Vixens around here! YOU’RE FIRED!!!!!!

The crowd goes crazy heckling the former John Smith as she walks out the arena trying to hide herself from the crowd under her arms, and a new song comes over the speakers:

-------------------------------
We cut backstage to a suited Doug Crashin who has a determined look on his face as his music of "Black Betty" starts playing as he appears to be heading out to the ring area.

-------------------------------
We cut back to the arena as Crashin makes his way out, looking out towards the booing crowd but he ignores it and heads down to the ring.

Harrys: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome Doug Crashin!

Copeland: Doug Crashin isn't set to compete this week as his tag partner Steven Kurtesy told him to take time off for this week after the loss that occured on Ascension against Pride of Toyota, let's take a look here

Kurtesy looks extremely frustrated by stays on Kravinoff with a single-leg Boston crab. This time, Kravinoff is in the middle of the ring, and his face is a portrait of agony. The ref checks on him, but Hunter refuses to give up. After what seems like an eternity, Kravinoff is able to somersault out of the hold and onto his good leg. Kurtesy is still between him and Toyota, but Kravinoff is able to take two hops on his good leg and launch at Kurtesy with a flying knee! Kravinoff screams out as he tries to crawl to his partner after using his injured leg to take out Kurtesy. The Doctor shakes out the cobwebs and tag Doug Crashin, right as Kravinoff tags Wasabi Toyota! The Matsumoto Mauler comes through the ropes and toward Crashin. Toyota hits him first with a throat thrust, then a savate kick. Crashin is out on his feet, but Toyota isn’t done. He let’s out a yell, then folds up Crashin with a belly-to-back suplex. Toyota goes for the cover, 1…2… and a kick to Wasabi’s head by Dr. Kurtesy breaks it up. Toyota makes it back to his feet and chases after Kurtesy, smashing him into the corner turnbuckles. While the ref checks on Kurtesy, Kravinoff rolls into the ring and hits the Double-Underhook DDT on Crashin before rolling out of the ring clutching at his knee. Toyota sees Crashin lying on the mat near the corner, and crushes him with a Bonzai Drop! 1…2…3!

Anderson: The winners of this match, The Pride of Toyota!

The ref and Toyota help Kravinoff to the back as Kurtesy goes to check on his partner. A cameraman follows them in right as Crashin starts waking up.

Crashin: ugggggghhhhh…Steven, I’m sorry, I can’t keep doing this to you.

Kurtesy: Calm yourself, Doug. I know that we have the potential to be great, it’s just a matter of finding what works for us. Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll put in a request to WZCW management for you to have next week off and for me to have a singles match. You accompany me to the ring and give yourself a chance to rest you body and mind. The Crash-Klinic will be at the top of the tag team division in no time.

Crashin slowly gets off the mat and is helped to the back by his partner.

We cut back as Crashin is in the ring with a microphone and looking at the titantron with a disapproving look on his face, no doubt disappointed in what occured last week. He stands in the middle of the ring for a moment before he unbuttons his jacket and holds the microphone up to his mouth

Crashin: As you can see, I didn't exactly have the best match last week on Ascension...in fact you haven't exactly seen me have the best match in WZCW one bit...now before you start making your assumptions, this isn't a quitting speech, it's a speech about change!

When I first came to this company, it was in the middle of the build to Kingdom Come...my debut match was against Ty Burna, and I held my own against him, in fact my performance was what earnt myself a contract in this company. But yet, since Meltdown 33, it's been a series, waves of losses, I'll ask you now, how many of you can my only victory in this company and who it was against?

It was against Phoenix...hell I even held the Mayhem Championship for thirty seconds, the point being is that my successes are only simply blimps on the radar, they happen so rare that no-one in this arena to the guys at the back take me seriously! My only two pay per view matches have both been in championship matches and yet I have so little to say I've gained from them!

I'll say it and admit right now, here and now, you know and I know that Doug Crashin has been a joke, a laughing stock to every one of you! I keep saying that I'm great, but I come up short...now I've had some hard thinking and I think that Kurtesy had the right idea for me to take time off this week, because it gave me time to think...what is it that defines me in comparison to say Titus or Chris Beckford! What I can do to make myself prove that I can be better than them! What can I make you believe in me?

Starting from tonight, I will be venturing around this great country, to the far corners of the globe, I will be personally visiting your towns and cities, I will be letting you all get to see that Doug Crashin is a man to be believed in. The change starts tonight! I have one supporter already and he's standing at the top of the stage right now.

He looks over to see Steven Kurtesy nodding and smiling back.

Hopefully this will be the beginning to see you all believe in me and rise up to be never the joke, but the competitor, the champion or as I use to say...The Incredible One!

Crashin places the mic on the mat and he leaves the ring, he nods and acknowledges the fans mixed reaction, he takes some fans hands along the way saying "You will believe in me" and "Belive in Doug Crashin!". He eventually reaches the top of the ramp, where Kurtesy waits, who puts an arm around him as they both leave with Meltdown going into the break.

 

[Phoenix]

“P.C.P” starts playing as the strobes flash throughout the filled arena as Garth Black enters from the curtain, he gives his spin and then paces down the ring, slapping hands with the fans on his way down and around the ring.

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Wales weighing in at 168 pounds, Garth Black!

Copeland: Garth Black is in tag team action right now, but it’s going to be interesting to see him face his former partner in this kind of match.

Cohen: Exactly, Phoenix knows what to expect of him, they worked as a team for so long, you wonder how many tactics they will pass on to their partners

Copeland: Not to mention that somewhere in the back of their minds, that Last Man Standing match at Apocalypse looms near.

Black climbs into the ring and does his spin again to remove his robes and stretches his arms out to the crowd as the “Star Striped Spangle” starts playing as USA comes out onto the stage, he salutes the crowd and heads down the ramp

Harrys: His partner, from the Purple Mountains Majesty, weighing in at 257 pounds, USA!

Copeland: No doubt USA will be feeling motivated, especially after what Everest did to him at the end of Ascension.

Cohen: But he has to remember that while this victory could have some importance going into Apocalypse, it’s actually at the pay per view itself where the win most matters.

He slides under the bottom ropes and starts talking to Black before he heads over to the turnbuckle and climbs up to pose to the crowd as “The Beginning is the End is the Beginning” hits with Phoenix making his way out to a loud chorus of boos. The lights dim low and flashing lights begin going off around the arena. He walks down the ramp, looking around at the fans as he stands waiting for his partner.

Harrys: Their opponents, from The Great Beyond, weighing in at 213 punds, Phoenix!

“Supernova Goes Pop” starts playing the crowd start booing to the arriving Everest who looks ready for action, making his way immediately down the ramp and throws some instructions at Phoenix, telling to go around to the side of the ring as he goes the opposite way

Harrys: From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 205 pounds, Everest!

Copeland: What’s going on here…

Black and USA are standing in the centre of the ring, looking at both side trying to determine what their opponents are up to, Black whispers something to him and he nods. Black then runs at the direction where Phoenix is who stands to one side, only for Black to bounce off the ropes and USA stands in waiting as he lifts and flips Black over him and the top rope to land on top of Everest who was caught by the assumption that they were going after Phoenix, who of which has slid under the ring and got a fist to the back of USA’s head which makes the referee signal for the bell. Phoenix gets USA to the corner and starts kicking him which makes him drop down to the floor eventually as Phoenix still continues to stomp, he stops and walks away before running back and using the ropes to lift him up in the air and hit a dropkick on USA’s chest in the bottom corner.

Phoenix then spots Garth Black is walking over to his corner and he runs to Black’s corner in anticipation, using the ropes to climb up and hits a quick enziguri to drop him down to the mat below with Phoenix given a glancing look at his direction. Everest is now back up in his corner and Phoenix calls over whether he wants him, Everest doesn’t give a straight response as he’s getting his head together from the early attack but Phoenix tags him in anyway as USA is still down in the corner. Everest takes a second but realises the situation and immediately goes for trying to choke USA on the bottom rope with his boot.

Copeland: Everest trying to get some advantage points before Apocalypse here

Cohen: Could you really expect less from the former World Champion?

Everest releases the chokes and then gets USA up onto his only to drop him again with a DDT followed by some more stomping to the head and then a running knee drop. He then drags USA over to the ropes and then uses it to choke him again, the referee is getting tedious over these actions and gets up in Everest’s face about it, telling him that he knows the rules. But the distraction gets Black who’s back up on the apron enough reach to tag USA on the back and he heads immediately in to dropkick Everest but he’s quick to his feet again and then kicks the knee that he worked on against Black last week, Everest then decides to screw it and immediately hits The Rock Slide on Black. He drags him near to his corner and tags in Phoenix telling him to “Finish it!” Phoenix climbs up and hits the Final Flight, he goes for the cover 1……2…..Phoenix gets up off of him, shaking his head and saying “No”

Copeland: Why is Phoenix refusing to pin Black?

Cohen: I don’t know, but it’s costing him precious time to get it.

Phoenix then looks at Everest who is looking very annoyed at this, demanding that Phoenix pins him but he mouths something at him and Everest slaps him on the back to tag him and goes for a tight cradle 1……2……3 as Phoenix leaves and heads up the ramp, looking back at Black.

Harrys: Here are your winners, Everest and Phoenix!

Phoenix is still looking back at he slowly shakes his head before continuing up the ramp while Everest savours the moment as Black is still down and USA is on the outside holding his neck. Everest then slides outside to where USA is and looks under the ring for an item, but has no luck, so he grabs the camera cable and wraps it around USA’s throat and begins to choke him, forcing his back into his knee and Everest enjoying every moment of it.

Copeland: Somebody get Everest away from USA, he’s choking the hell out of him!

Cohen: Why don’t you go over there Seabass?!

Suddenly the referees come down and try to get Everest to stop the choke as he looks like he’s snapped. He eventually lets go before dropping a few more kicks on USA before spitting on him and leaving to his music.

Copeland: Everest seems to have snapped and he’s given himself the advantage going into Apocalypse, how is USA going to cope with the damage done to his neck with so much little time before Apocalypse rolls in?!

Cohen: You got him Seabass, but Everest seems ready to get Apocalypse going right now, you wouldn’t doubt that either of these two men would want to call for a World Title shot pending on their victory in waiting.

Copeland: Maybe, but then when discussing victories, why didn’t Phoenix pin Black? Black got the victory over Phoenix at Redemption last month, you would think that having some level ground would make things interesting for both men that they know they can beat each other!

Cohen: Maybe it’s something we’ll hopefully find out sooner rather than later

Copeland: And with that statement, we will lead on to the Elite X Number One Contender's Match with Chris Beckford going up against Scott Hammond, it's up next!

------------------------------
Backstage we have Elite X Champion, Austin Reynolds standing in the front of the Meltdown logo with Leon Kensworth

Kensworth: Standing with me at this time is Elite X Champion Austin Reynolds, now originally you were scheduled to be at ringside for commentary for this match, but Vance Bateman has overruled it on the accounts of comprimising the situation regarding your who may be your opponent at Apocalypse, what do you have to say to that?

Reynolds: While Bateman may think that the Elite X Championship is his property, we are on Meltdown and I should have the free reign to do what I want, especially as I'm the Ratings Winner, people came to see me even though I wasn't scheduled to compete tonight. Now you, yes you Leon, will have to deal with the consequence of the women and children crying, demanding their refunds because they didn't get to see me live and in person.

As much as I would like to get an upclose view of the challenger's match, I think proving a point on Ascension is going to be a priority for me, so I think it's time to cruise around the city and show that the people who came here tonight have had a lost cause and I suggest getting your refunds while you can, because Ascension will see myself blow Meltdown out of the water with Big Dave by my side, see you tomorrow night, Beckford or Hammond, because I won't be seeing you at Apocalypse!

Reynolds walks off as Leon looks on bemused.

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is to determine the number 1 contender for the Elite X championship!

“When I’m ere” hits and Scott Hammond comes out to a mixed reaction.

Harrys: Introducing first, from London, England, Scott Hammond!

Hammond looks focused, yet slightly pissed off as he goes down the ramp and gets into the ring.

Copeland: It looks like Hammond has got a new fire in his eyes tonight!

“Gammer and Re-Con” hits and out comes Chris Beckford to a good pop. He does his signature taunt before running down to the ring.

Harrys: And his opponent, from Leeds, England, Chris Beckford!

Beckford gets into the ring and does his signature taunt in the corner again before back flipping off.

Copeland: Let’s see what Blade has done by being the puppet master for these two men.

Cohen: Puppet master? You’re so negative... Blade merely motivated them to be better.

The referee calls for the bell and the two men circle each other a moment before locking up. There’s a struggle for dominance before Hammond uses his superior strength to push back Beckford, who ends up in the corner. Beckford hesitates for a moment before walking back to the centre of the ring. Just as they both lean forward to lock up again, Beckford hits a quick kick To Hammond’s leg. He follows up with another, taking Hammond down to one knee. Beckford follows up with a dropkick to Hammond’s face, taking both men down. Beckford goes for a quick cover, 1.... Hammond pushes Beckford off him. Beckford goes straight back on the attack, delivering stomps to Hammond’s legs. Beckford tries to kick Hammond in the head, but Hammond catches his leg. With Beckford balancing on one leg, Hammond gets to his feet and pulls Beckford towards him by the leg into a T-Bone suplex, sending Beckford flying across the ring. Beckford hits the mat hard as Hammond gets to his feet and tries to get the feeling back into his leg. Hammond walks over to Beckford and picks him up. He lifts Beckford up over his head for a Military Press and walks around the ring with Beckford over head. He suddenly drops Beckford, who falls face first to the mat.

Cohen: Hammond showing that brute force is the way to win!

Copeland: Well let’s see if Beckford’s heart can make a comeback.

Hammond picks Beckford back up and backs him into the corner. He places Beckford on the top rope and starts climb up it after him. But Beckford kicks Hammond in the face, causing Hammond to stumble backwards. Beckford stands up straight on the top rope before jumping off and hitting Hammond with a Missile Dropkick. Both men crash to the mat and Beckford crawls over to Hammond to make a cover, 1.... 2.... Hammond kicks out. Beckford gets to his feet and turns to Hammond, who is also getting to his feet slowly. Hammond turns around into a big clothesline. He gets up again quickly and his hit with another clothesline. Once again Hammond gets up and Beckford kicks him in the gut and hits a neckbreaker. With the crowd getting into the match, Beckford gets onto the apron and waits for Hammond to get up. Hammond slowly uses the ropes to help him get to his feet. He turns around and sees Beckford springboarding off the top rope towards him, attempting a dropkick. Hammond catches him, hitting a Spinebuster on Beckford. Hammond goes for a weak pin, 1.... 2.... Beckford gets a shoulder up! Hammond catches his breath and angrily hits the mat in frustration.

Copeland: Both men want to get Austin Reynolds in the ring so badly!

Hammond signals that the match is over, picking up Beckford and lifting him up for the London’s Calling. But Beckford floats over Hammonds shoulder and does a sunset flip, pinning Hammond, 1.... 2.... Hammond kicks out! Both men quickly get up and Hammond goes for a clothesline, but Beckford ducks under it and hits Hammond with a Faceplant! Beckford gets up and makes his way over to the corner. He slowly climbs up and stands up straight before jumping off; going for the Cross Country, but Hammond gets his knees up! Beckford rolls around on the mat, clutching his ribs and Hammond quickly crawls over and tries to pin him, 1.... 2... Beckford kicks out! Both men lie on the mat for a moment, with the referee counting. Both men slowly start to get up and make it to their feet at the count of 7. Hammond hits Beckford with a right hand, which Beckford returns. They exchange punches for a few seconds, before Beckford blocks one and hits the Cross Drop out of nowhere! He drapes an arm over Hammond, 1.... 2.... 3!

Harrys: Here is your winner, and new number 1 contender for the Elite X championship, Chris Beckford.

Copeland: After a hectic match, Beckford’s heart comes out on top!

Cohen: This means nothing. Neither man can beat Austin Reynolds!

Copeland: We'll see about that tomorrow when Beckford teams up with Blade to take on Big Dave and the Elite X champion!

Beckford slowly rolls out of the ring. He catches his breath on his knees before lifting his head and doing his signature taunt. In the ring, Hammond sits up, looking disappointed with himself.

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Mayhem Championship!

“End of 9” by Guttermouth plays and Gordito runs out on stage towards the right side. He raises his right arm to the crowd who let out a large cheer. He then gives high fives to some of the fans, then goes over to the left side of the ramp and does the same thing. Gordito slides into the ring and climbs up a turnbuckle. He beats his chest twice and raises his arms.

Harrys: Introducing first, from San Francisco, California, weighing in at 257 lbs, Gordito!

“Goodbye” by SR 71 cuts in and Killjoy walks out to a huge ovation. He frantically walks around the entrance ramp, holding his Mayhem title belt in his right hand and wearing a new long black jacket. He hops onto the slide rail and leans into the crowd, letting them all touch his Mayhem belt. He runs over to the other side and almost dives into the crowd this time.

Harrys: And his opponent, from... Rat’s Ass, America, weighing in at 225 lbs, he is the Mayhem Champion... The Killjoy... Baez!

Cohen: Baez? The Killjoy’s real name is Baez?

Copeland: It appears some background checks have been done on KillJoy.

Cohen: You’d think they would’ve done one sooner on this nut job.

Killjoy climbs into the ring and poses one more time for the crowd. He hands the Mayhem belt to the ref who holds it up and then calls for the bell. Gordito and Killjoy circle the ring a bit. Gordito extends his hand. Killjoy steps back before reaching out and shaking Gordito's hand. Killjoy and Gordito lock up. Killjoy quickly puts Gordito in a headlock. Killjoy raise his hand to the crowd who cheer. He then takes his hand and starts noogieing Gordito's head. The crowd laughs at Gordito frantically swings his arms. Killjoy stops and is about to hit Gordito in the face. Gordito with a quick burst of energy lifts Killjoy up and executes a back body drop. Gordito rubs his head with a smile on his face. Both him and Killjoy are on their feet. Killjoy goes for a punch, but Gordito hits him first with a European uppercut. Gordito hits him again with it as Killjoy is against the ropes. Gordito steps back before charging with a clothesline, sending both men to the floor.

Copeland: Gordito sending both men to the floor. This match is about to get very violent.

Gordito is the first one up and reaches under the ring for some toys to play with. He soon emerges with a crutch in hand. Killjoy is slowly getting to his feet by the steel stairs. Gordito is warming up for a big swing. He swings high at Killjoy’s head, but Killjoy just ducks under it. The crutch smashes against the steel turnbuckle, snapping. Killjoy with a quick punch to the face of Gordito, which causes him to drop the crutch. Gordito walks over to Killjoy. Killjoy with a quick leg sweep causes Gordito to fall face first into the steel stairs. Gordito’s body rests on the stairs as Killjoy reaches under the ring and emerges with a steel chair. He swings and connects on the back of Gordito, a loud sickening thud. Killjoy takes a few steps back. He is preparing to charge at Gordito, chair first. He runs, but Gordito rolls off the stairs. Killjoy slams the chair into the stairs with his head close behind crashing into the steel chair. Killjoy stumbles awkwardly to his feet. He turns around and Gordito is standing behind him. He traps the arms of Killjoy and smiles. He starts head butting Killjoy 7 times before letting Killjoy fall backwards, sitting up against the steel stairs. Gordito reaches under the ring and produces a bowling ball case. He takes the bowling ball out and puts his fingers in. The crowd is cheering in anticipation as he lines up in front of Killjoy. He swings and lets go, the ball bouncing off of Killjoy’s nuts. Killjoy falls over holding his balls.

Cohen: Strike! That bum Gordito might actually win it right here.

Gordito goes for the cover. 1... 2... kickout by Killjoy. Gordito quickly up on his feet. He clasps his hands together and hits a double hand axle on Killjoy. Gordito then lifts Killjoy to his feet. Gordito looks to hit a jab, but instead his a backhand chop against Killjoy’s chest. Killjoy holds his chest as Gordito again goes under the ring and emerges with a kendo stick. He turns around, but Killjoy has recovered and kicks the side of Gordito’s leg. He follows with a kick across the chest causing Gordito to drop the kendo stick. Killjoy picks up the kendo stick and chases after Gordito. Gordito turns around and Killjoy hits him in the side of the head knocking him down. Killjoy lets out a loud scream as the crowd is on their feet. Gordito is on his feet now. Killjoy comes up from behind and with the Kendo stick, puts Gordito in a European headlock. He wrenches the neck of Gordito and then turns him into a reverse DDT position, Kendo stick underneath Gordito. KillJoy hits Twisted-T, Gordito's back landing on the Kendo stick on the floor. Killjoy with a cover. 1... 2... Gordito kicks out. Killjoy throws the Kendo stick into the ring and then starts looking under the ring for more weapons. He throws in the ring a garbage can, 2 lids, a cowbell, and a table. He then looks under the ring and pulls out a ladder. He picks the ladder up horizontally and walks over to Gordito. He charges at him, but Gordito ducks it and Killjoy runs into the corner. Killjoy stumbles after hitting the corner, allowing Gordito to climb onto the apron. Gordito fly's at Killjoy with a cross body block. Killjoy falls back with Gordito and the ladder on top of him. The ref goes to count the pin. 1... 2... Killjoy gets his arm up through the ladder to save it.

Copeland: Brilliant strategy by the challenger, using the ladder to almost get the pin.

Gordito moves the ladder off Killjoy, picks him up and throws him into the ring. Gordito slides in after him and picks up a trash can lid. Killjoy to his feet, kicks Gordito in the gut, preventing him from hitting him with the trash lid. He then kicks the lid, smashing it against Gordito's face. Gordito stumbles backwards as Killjoy runs off the ropes and goes for a Smashmouth. Gordito swings hard and cracks the lid off of Killjoy's head. Killjoy is down on the mat. Gordito hooks his legs from behind and falls back on his butt. He has KillJoy locked into a vertical Mexican Surfboard Stretch.

Cohen: Surf's Up, Ass is locked in. We have a new champion!

Killjoy cries out in pain. He struggles to break free, but to no avail. Gordito lets go of one arm and slaps the stomach of Killjoy. He goes to grab it again, but Killjoy frantically swings his arm away. He reaches out and just get ahold of the cow bell. He swings once, cracking it off of Gordito's skull. A second one breaks the hold. Both men are down and looking beat up. They slowly get to their feet. Killjoy has the cow bell in his hand a swings hard, taking down Gordito and himself in the process. Killjoy with the cover, 1... 2... Kickout by Gordito. Killjoy slowly picks Gordito to his feet. Killjoy goes for a Uranage Backbreaker, but Gordito elbows out of it. Killjoy stumbles away, and then charges at Gordito. Gordito instinctively ducks down and hits a Samoan Drop on KillJoy on a trash can. The can is flattened. Gordito goes for the cover. 1... 2..... Killjoy just kicks out. Gordito can't believe it, but claps his hands and looks pumped. He grabs the table and starts setting it up in the corner. He has it positioned and then raises his arms to the crowd. He turns around to get Killjoy. Killjoy is up and fly's shoulder first at Gordito's neck. Smashmouth connects, sending both men through the table. Killjoy drapes an arm over Gordito. 1... 2... 3.

Harrys: Here is your winner, and still Mayhem champion, The KillJoy... Baez.

Copeland: Well Jack, Killjoy or Baez, whatever he wants to be called, picked up and impressive win tonight.

Cohen: I don't know how impressive it was Jack, Gordito certainly took the supposed face of Mayhem to the limit.

Copeland: Yes he did and... hey what's Chris Jones doing out here?

Chris jones runs down the ramp with a ref close behind him. He slides into the ring and goes for the pin. The second ref slides into the ring and makes the count. 1... 2... the pin is broken up by Steven Holmes who ran through the crowd with a ref of his own. Holmes throws Jones outside of the ring and goes to pin Killjoy. 1... 2... Killjoy kicks out. Holmes with some forearms, goes and grabs the trash lid. He is about to hit Killjoy with it, but Jones has re-entered the ring and has the other lid. The two exchange strikes until "When I'm Ere" hits and Hammond walks down the ramp with a kendo stick. He steps into the ring and Holmes goes to strike him, but Hammond hits him first with the kendo stick. Jones goes to hit him after, but Hammond ducks him and hits him over the head with a kendo stick. Holmes and Jones roll out of the ring. Hammond circles the ring and then swings to his side. Killjoy is there and he grabs the stick. The two men hold onto the kendo stick and stare at each other as Gordito stands up against the ropes. "Falling On" suddenly hits and Chuck Myles and Vance Bateman both walk out onto the ramp.

Bateman: Well Chuck, it appears you can't seem to control what goes on on your show.

Myles: This is because of your idea to have the Mayhem Title be defended twenty-four seven. So I've been in talks with the board of directors and they said they don't want to see any more wrestlers jumped and injuries. So they are getting rid of twenty-four seven starting... now.

Bateman: Fine, fine, excuse me for trying to spice up the Mayhem division. But I have something really special planned for Apocalypse. Killjoy at Apocalypse you will be defending your Mayhem title in a six man ladder match. And the participants will be everyone in and around the ring.

Killjoy nods his head and stares at Hammond. Gordito claps his hands and points at Holmes and Jones outside the ring.

Myles: Wait, wait a minute guys. You say six Bateman, but there are only five guys down there.

Bateman: Well, I was going to include John Smith in that match, but you had to fire him or her. Good call on that, but don't worry. I'll name the sixth person on Ascension.

Myles: Sounds good. Now you guys get to the back now.

Holmes and Jones walk up the entrance ramp and stare into the ring. Killjoy, Hammond, and Gordito converse in the ring and then shake hands.

Copeland: Well folks, you heard it here first. Killjoy will be defending his Mayhem title in a six man ladder match against Scott Hammond, Gordito, Steven Holmes, and Chris Jones.

Cohen: But the real story Seabass, is who will Bateman choose as the sixth man. And rest assure I'll be there on Ascension to find out.

Copeland: But now our Main Event is up next as Ty Burna will take on the World Heavyweight Champion Titus, it's on next!

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

‘Blackened the Sun’ starts playing to the images of static flashes of white light. Out onto the stage, emerges a cloaked Ty Burna welcomed by a series of heavy boos, holding his Ouija scroll with Serafina walking alongside him, head bowed down.

Harrys: Introducing first, weighing in at 235 pounds, Ty Burna!

Ty turns towards Serafina who leaves back out through the curtain before he turns to face the ring, he walks slowly towards the ring, heading down the ramp at a slow and steady pace. When he reaches the ring he looks up at his opponent before walking into the ring and placing his scroll in the corner before standing tall and removing his hood and cloak and throwing it off over the ropes.

Copeland: Ty Burna has a tough challenge against the World Heavyweight Champion…

Cohen: You mean vice versa don’t you?

Copeland: Either way, I doubt either men will back down, especially as Ty will want to make statement about his hunt for Championship gold no doubt.

[youtube]/v/6-BVR557V_0&hl=en&fs=1&[/youtube]​

Titus makes his way out onto the stage, he responds to their reaction by pointing in a panning motion back to them before heading down the ramp.

Harrys: His opponent, from Keystone City, Kansas, weighing in at 215 pounds, he is the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Titus!

Copeland: Titus will want to make a stand against the dark alliance of Ty and Vengeance, he did his best last week but the alliance is too strong to stand up against. I’m sure with them being in singles action will assist the cause tonight...

Cohen: I wouldn’t count on it…

Ty smiles at Titus who is confused slightly as he’s indicated to look behind him and up at the top of the ramp is the familiar white cloak of Vengeance standing tall and facing the direction of the ring. There is no escape for the Champion on this occasion. Titus heads over to the referee who’s on the outside of the ring and Titus debates about getting rid of Vengeance from that position, but the referee says that there’s nothing he can do about it as he’s not interfering with the match itself. Titus hesitates for a moment before giving the belt to the time keeper and immediately sliding into the ring and brawls with Ty as the belt rings. Titus starts sizing up Ty, who merely stands there, his cold eyes upon the champion. They move to the centre of the ring and lock up, with Ty gaining the advantage by backing Titus into the corner. The referee breaks it up and Ty backs off, but quickly attempts to punch Titus in the corner, but Titus ducks under it, making Ty swing himself into the corner. Titus unleashes a flurry of right hands before Irish whipping Ty across the ring to the opposite turnbuckle. Ty bounces off the turnbuckles and into a neckbreaker from Titus. Titus quickly gets up and motions to the crowd, who cheer loudly. Out of the corner of his eye, the cloaked figure of Vengeance catches his attention. Titus looks up at the ramp to see Vengeance eerily walking down the ramp.

Copeland: Look at how he’s walking down to the ring tonight... It’s almost... Hypnotising.

Titus breaks his gaze away from his rival and turns back around to Ty, who catches Titus with right hands followed by kicks to Titus’ legs. Ty Irish whips Titus into the ropes and attempts a clothesline as Titus bounces back, but Titus ducks under it before grabbing Ty in a headlock, attempting a bulldog. Ty blocks it and lifts Titus up, hitting a back suplex. Titus crashes the mat and Ty attempts a pin, 1... 2... Kick out by Titus. Ty picks Titus up and backs himself into the ropes. He bounces forward and hits Titus with a high knee. With Titus down, Ty circles him like a vulture before hitting a running knee drop to Titus’ head. Ty goes for another cover, 1... 2... kick out by Titus. Ty once again picks up Titus, this time getting him in a front facelock for a Brainbuster, but Titus counters, reversing the face lock into a Northern Lights Suplex. Both men try to get to their feet, with Ty getting up first. He runs at Titus, but Titus nails him with a spinning heel kick. Titus goes for a pin, 1... 2... Ty kicks out! Titus gets up and sees the cloaked Vengeance slowly moving closer to the ring. Titus shakes his head defiantly before grabbing Ty’s leg and locking in an ankle lock. But Ty quickly rolls through, sending Titus headfirst into the top turnbuckle.

Cohen: And this is why Vengeance is the master of head games!

Copeland: Ty is a handful on his own, but when you have Vengeance distracting you at ringside... The champion is facing seemingly impossible odds here!

Ty gets up and pulls Titus out of the corner before nailing him with a Russian Leg Sweep. Ty goes for the pin, 1... 2... Titus kicks out! Ty remains calm and locks up Titus’ legs before locking in the Muta lock. Ty wrenches Titus’ head back as Titus screams out in agony, his eyes looking directly at the ramp at Vengeance, who takes another few steps towards the ring. Titus claws at the mat, managing to pull himself forward just enough to grab the ropes. Ty breaks the hold at the 5 count and gets off Titus, who, for a brief moment, seems to be completely distracted by the cloaked figure before him. Ty takes advantage of the distraction, driving a knee into Titus’ spine before rolling him over and going for a pin, 1... 2... Titus kicks out. Ty signals for the Consecrated Banishment, picking up a dazed Titus. Ty backs up a few steps and goes for the big kick, but Titus barely manages to dodge it. Ty turns around and walks into a big DDT from Titus. Titus shakes the cobwebs out of his head and gets up before climbing to the top rope, measuring Ty, who is stirring on the mat. Suddenly, Titus turns his attention to Vengeance, who’s at ringside and leaps off, hitting the cloaked figure with the flying clothesline instead. The crowd let out a huge cheer, as Titus gets up. He stands over his fallen rival and rips off the cloak. The crowd let out a gasp as Tarja is the one under the cloak, knocked unconscious from the flying clothesline! The blood drains from Titus’ face as he checks on Tarja, with the crowd now completely silent in shock. Suddenly, the real Vengeance comes stomping down the ramp. Titus gets back into the ring but is instantly met with the Consecrated Banishment. Ty goes for the pin, 1.... 2... 3!

Harrys: Here is your winner, Ty Burna!

Cohen: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Ty is the winner and the great Titus is a woman beater!!

Copeland: Shut up, Cohen. How the hell was he supposed to know it wasn’t really Vengeance under the cloak!?


Cohen: I knew all along!

Copeland: I highly doubt that!

Vengeance gathers Tarja from ringside and carries her up the ramp, you can see an angry look on his face as he looks like he wants to destroy Titus, he stops to look at Ty and then nods at him before continuing on up the ramp. Ty then grabs the bloody Titus and hangs him up against the ropes, facing towards the center of the ring and he then hits another Consecrated Banishment to knock Titus to the outside which the watching Vengeance has a smile on his face, Ty looks in his direction and extends his hand out to show the alliance is going strong.

Copeland: Titus has a tough challenge ahead of him as the dark alliance continues to grow strong, can he hold on to the World Heavyweight Championship at Apocalypse? We'll find out soon enough but I doubt their work is done for this week. If I was Showtime Cougar, I would be very cautious in this match on Ascension!

Cohen: Of which I'll see you there, from Sebass Copeland and Jack Cohen, good night!
