(A video comes on screen portraying classic moments in wrestling, from Sammartino to Hogan, from Hart to Michaels, and the very early years of professional wrestling. The video fades to black, as the words, 40 years in the making appear out of nowhere, a giant WZCW logo appears, as the video is cut to static after a while. A countdown begins, before the video cuts back to the San Diego Sports Arena where an explosion of fireworks rocks the arena! The crowd goes wild as the red and black fireworks continue, before ending with a BANG!)
Sebastian Copeland:Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again, to WZCW Meltdown! We are live from the San Diego Sports Arena, in beautiful California, and it's great to be here, and the crowd shares my sentiments! Jack 'the Enforcement' Cohen:And again, we have a blockbuster night coming up for you all on our third show here tonight! Copeland:Are you going to say that every week? Nonetheless, you're right, and I think this could be our best show yet! Cohen:Shut up Cope, I can say what I want. But yes, WZCW just keeps getting bigger and better, we're already selling out crowds. Copeland: And these fans couldn't get any louder if we paid them to! Cohen:I don't know, by the looks of it, these people would do anything to get money. It's San Diego, God knows how these people got tickets. I guess I overcharged my taxi drivers the last few days. Copeland:Not even a minute into this and you're already badmouthing the crowd. Well I can assure you all that tonight won't just be Jack Cohen's commentary, because tonight marks the beginning of the Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament! Cohen:That's right Cope, and there have been a few changes to it that we were noted of on WZCW.com. First, there are going to be two rounds before the final match at Unscripted, which is now a singles match. Tonight, we will have 4 qualifying matches: Strife vs Will Josephs, Craig vs Rios, and DC vs Rios. But there's going to be another blockbuster, and I can't wait. It's going to sort the men from the boys, and it's going to be our Battle Royal, to determine which one person will go forth in the Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament. Copeland:Now, we don't just get one week of Tournament matches, we get next week as well. A great move here by Chuck Myles. Cohen:He's opening up the tournament to any and all comers. It's going to determine just who is the best amongst the rest, and whoever wins this battle royal is going to prove to everyone that they can stand out from the crowd and they can damn sure get it done enough to claim that they are World Championship material. Copeland:Widening the field in this tournament is only going to make it better. You're right, it's going to determine just which people are worthy of being crowned WZCW championship, but the road to that looks longer and tougher than it ever did before. Cohen:But that's not all, because tonight, 3 new WZCW recruits will be looking to make an impact in the show. It will be Mohammad Hasheem vs Everest vs Arch Angel. I went backstage, and all three competitors were fired up and raring to go, and that's only going to mean an awesome match we're going to have. Copeland:And another match announced on WZCW.com, will be Northern Lights, going against the newcomers in Tristan Kist and 2Fly. Cohen:I'm looking forward to seeing those smartass Canadians get shut up in that ring later on, so I'm well behind Kist and 2Fly for that one. Copeland:To take a line you have used the last few weeks: enough talking, it's time for action!

Match 1: Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament, Round 1: DC vs. Aries
Harrys: The following contest is a Pinnacle Pursuit Qualifying match. It is scheduled for one fall.
(The lights dim and the beginning drum intro of Americana resonates throughout the arena. Aries steps out onto the entrance ramp, wearing a hood to cover his face, as he lifts it up and looks out at the crowd, shaking his head before walking swiftly down to the ring. His face is a mask of intensity and focus as Aries jumps on to the ring apron and then ducks under the ropes. He looks out again to the crowd the same stern look still on his face.)
Harrys: Introducing first, from Boston Massachusetts, weighing in at 245 pounds, The Zodiac Killer: Aries.
(Name of the Game" by The Crystal Method hits. D.C makes his way stepping with the rhythm, he stares straight towards the ring at Aries. His face also a mask of intensity He looks out into the crowd, before he slowly makes his way towards the ring.

DC stands at stares straight at Aries, before sliding under the bottom and climbing the turnbuckle.)
Harrys: and his opponent, from Santa Ana, California, weighing in at 200 pounds, DC
DC has hopped down from the turnbuckle and has made his way into the middle of the ring. There the two combatants stare at each other, neither taking a backwards step. The tension begins to mount as both just stand and stare, neither willing to make the first move. Suddenly Aries tries to land the first punch, but this is blocked by DC. DC throws a punch of his own but this is in turn blocked by Aries, who shoves DC fair and square in the chest, sending the smaller man back a couple of paces. But DC runs straight back towards Aries but is met by some brutal lefts and rights by the bigger man, stunning DC and forcing him back. Aries then himself takes a step back and lines up DC for a superkick, which DC manages to duck under. Whilst moving under the superkick attempt, DC grabs Aries around the head/neck area, perhaps looking for a neckbreaker, but Aries successfully counters this attempt and then goes for a neckbreaker of his own, which is in turn countered by DC. The two men then both take some steps back from each other, whilst staring wholes right through their opponent. Both men try to take a quick stock of the situation, before both rush in to lockup again.
Aries and DC both grab each other by the head, but soon the greater strength of Aries wins out and he soon pushes DC hard into the corner, Aries rushes in delivering a vicious clothesline. Hen then follows this up with a hard knee to the gut, followed by a couple of hard shots to the face of DC. Aries then delivers some huge chops to DC, stunning the smaller fan. Aries then grabs DC around the head and suplexes him out of the corner. Aries keeps DC in the head hold, manoeuvrers himself and delivers another suplex, sending DC crashing back first into the turnbuckle. DC slumps into the corner as Aries backs up, then runs at DC delivering a hard knee to the face of DC. Aries then grabs him and Irish whips him into the other corner. DC hits his back hard into the turnbuckle as Aries follows in with a vicious clothesline that floors the smaller man.
Aries then grabs DC by the head and starts to deliver some vicious fists. The ref then gets in between warning Aries about using clenched fists. This allows DC to get to his feet. Aries is arguing with the ref, back to DC. He finally shrugs of the ref and turns back to DC. He is the hit by one, then two hard strikes from DC. Who then grabs Aries around the head and hits a sitdown jawbreaker. As Aries gets a bit wobbly on his feet DC hits him with a Firing Back (spinning mule kick). Aries is stumbling as DC grabs him and hit a bulldog. DC then makes his way to the top rope, as Aries groggily makes his way to his feet.

DC hits Aries with a couple of hard shots as Aries tries to make his way to his feet. He fights back with some shots of his own. DC then goes for a fishermans suplex, but this is countered by Aries, who goes for a suplex of his own. But DC counters this as well and does end up hitting a fishermans suplex on Aries. DC quickly helps Aries to his feet and sends him crashing into the corner. DC follows him in, grabbing Aries around the head and hits a Tornado DDT. Again DC makes a cover 1 2.. kickout again by Aries. DC stands, looking around, looking a tad frustrated. He delivers a couple of hard boots to Aries, before he looks towards the corner and begins to climb the turnbuckle. Aries is slowly getting to his feet, DC comes off the top rope looking for a Flying Cross body. But Aries catches him and slams him to the ground.
Aries then quickly follows in, locking DC in a one legged Boston Crab. DC struggles and claws trying to make his way to the ropes. His fingers outstretched grasping for safety. Finally DC grabs the bottom rope, but Aries doesnt relinquish the hold. The referee begins to count, 1 .2 .3 .4. At 4 Aries finally relinquishes the hold on DC
Aries then hauls DC to his feet and hits him with a Head and Arm Suplex. Aries then quickly makes a cover 1 2 kickout by DC. But Aries keeps up his offence and hits a springboard fist on DC. Makes another cover 1 .. kickout by DC. Aries then takes his turn to climb the top rope. He comes off the top looking for a frog splash, but hits nothing but canvas as DC cleverly rolls out of the way. Aries claspes and his forearm in pain as DC hits a running dropkick to his face. He then quickly manuvaeurs himself, locking Aries in the S.S.S (Haas of Pain). Aries grunts in pain and reaches out for the ropes. DC applies more pressure to the hold, which causes Aries to retract his hand only inches from the ropes. Aries however soon gives and even greater effort and grasps at the bottom rope as DC immediately lets go of the hold.
Aries attempts to get to his feet but is caught by DC who hits him with a reverse DDT. Cover by DC, 1 .2 kickout by Aries. DC then grabs Aries by the head and delivers some hard shots.

DC desperately reaches out for the ropes, but is still a little distance from them. He tries to reach out again for the ropes, but again is no closer. Aries applies more pressure to the choke and DC looks as if he is fading quickly. In vain he raises his hand for the ropes but his not even close. After being locked in the Choke for a good 20 seconds, DC looks in all sorts of trouble. But out of nowhere he gets a huge bust of energy and despite Aries best efforts is able to reach out grasping the ropes. Aries releases the hold and stands, not believing what he has just seen. Aries continues on DC lifting him up looking for a Michinoku Driver, but DC is able to counter it and get out of the attempt. DC backs off a few paces but Aries follows him in but his hit with a Hurricanrana. DC with the cover 1 2.. kickout by Aries. DC then is up quickly, hitting Aries with a dropsault.

Aries then lights up DC with some MMA style chops forcing him further back. Aries delivers another hard punch, and swings for another. But DC ducks below his arm, grabs Aries and hits the Chemi-Kill.
The crowd suddenly gives out great applause. DC looks around at the crowd for a moment, taking the cheers in. He then looks towards the corner as the cheers continue. He then makes his way towards the corner, he climbs the turnbuckle, taunts to the crowd and delivers a Flat Out. DC makes the cover 1 2 .3. DC gets through to the semi final of the Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament.
Harrys: Here is your winner: DC!!
Copeland:DC is going through to the next round in the Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament, and he's done it in impressive fashion! Cohen:Damn this DC. This looks to be his first win in WZCW, and it was a good time to get it, but for some reason, he just pisses me off. He's arrogant, that's it! Copeland:Arrogant or not, he's moving on and is one step closer to that elusive WZCW title! Aries however, suffers his third consecutive loss, and things aren't going his way it would seem.

**Commercial Break**
DC is still celebrating over the fallen Aries in the ring. Suddenly, My Heaven by Akira Yamaoka hits the speakers. DC turns around in shock, and looks up at the entranceway. Dr. David Creed comes from behind the curtain, with a briefcase in his hand, as the crowd immediately begin booing. DC does not look happy, as Creed stares without emotion out at the crowd, before moving down to the ring.
Copeland:Oh, not Creed. What the hell does he want? Cohen:Werent you paying attention throughout the week? Creed has some legal issues he needs to address regarding one Chuck Myles. I guess he just wanted to come down here at this moment. Copeland:And I think Creed might have something to say about last week. There is still a question lingering over whether DC will be forced to quit.
Creed climbs the steps and straightens his tie, before moving into the ring. DC is motionless, as Aries rolls out of the ring and up the ramp in shame. DC looks into Creed coldly, and Creed returns the favour. Creed receives a microphone off of Kyle Harrys, and his music is turned off. DC and Creed stare each other down for a few more moments, before Creed raises the microphone.
Creed:First of all, Id like to say that I am blessed to be in San Diego.
The crowd gives some cheers in surprise, before Creed changes his emotionless face to a disgusted one.
Creed: But thats just it. I would like to say that, but I have come to realise that this town is the very epitome of hell!
DC moves over to receive a microphone as the crowd shower Creed with boos.
Creed:Now, I have come out here to-
DC: What the hell are you doing here?
Creed turns and looks at DC in anger, positively seething at him.
Creed:Well, Mr. DC, now that you want to involve yourself in my business, Im going to ask you a frank question here: what are you doing here? As some people may know, last week, in your match with Strife, the stipulation was that if you do not win, you would quit WrestleZone Championship Wrestling.
Creed gestures up to the giant screen, where a video of DC is shown. DC looks at the camera and says If I Dont Win, I quit! These words are replayed a few times, before the video cuts to static.
Creed:A rather brash statement I take it DC? And now, lets go back to the last Meltdown, and see what transpired: )
The video on screen changes to DC, trying to make his way back into the ring, while being held back by Dr Creed. The referee reaches the 10 count, and the bell is rung. Harrys cries out the words This match, is a No-Contest! These words are repeated, before the video again cuts to static.
Creed:Now, as I take it, a No-Contest, is not a win, is it DC?
DC looks stunned, before moving to lift the microphone up to his mouth, but Creed cuts him off.
Creed:Do not dare answer that! You, and all these people know, that you should no longer be a WZCW employee. I dont care what I have to do, but you are going to be forced to quit this company, and its all your fault. You did not win DC! You DID NOT WIN! You should have wrestled your last match on the last Meltdown, but you came back, and everyone turned the other way, they just forgot about it! Well I did not DC! What you did to Aries tonight, was assault, as you are legally not an employee of WZCW anymore! You-
Creed is cut off by a sharp guitar rhythm, as Chuck Myles makes his way out to the arena to a huge cheer by the crowd. Myles is carrying a microphone, and swiftly makes his way down to the ring. He climbs the apron and ducks under the top rope and immediately starts talking.
Myles:Woah, woah woah! Churchy, you dont come out here calling the shots, because tha-
Creed:Silence! How dare you come out here Charles, and interrupt me when I am talking! That is the height of disr-
Myles:One more word from you, and I will personally fire your ass! Now, it seems we have a sticky situation here. You, DC, made that claim last week, and we cant deny it. If you didnt win your match, you said you would quit. Now, God-boy here obviously wants to make more of this, but what he forgets, is that I also made a statement regarding the Strife vs. DC match last week.
Myles gestures up to the screen, as we see Chuck Myles last week, come out to the arena during that match. He has the microphone in hand, and says Ive had enough of this crap! Yeah thats right God-boy, I said crap, and I could say a few more words about you as well. Now, Im not having another match ruined by outside interference. Creed, you are banned from ringside in this match! If you come back out, I give the referee full orders to disqualify Strife, and I will personally pull him out of the Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament and suspend him indefinitely! Deal with that, and get your ass to the back! The video cuts to static again.
Myles:Did you hear that last part? I ordered you, to go to the back, or else Strife would lose the match, and would be pulled out of the Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament and suspended. And, it appears that you did come back out, and costed DC the match.
Creed looks positively stunned as DC puts a smile on his face.
Creed:The referee did not see it, he rang the bell, that was it, done fi-
Myles:I dont care what the referee didnt see. The fact is, you disobeyed my orders, and you should pay the consequences!
Creed:Hold on a minute! Did you not hear me before? Youre probably wondering whats in this briefcase. Its those lawsuit papers I talked about earlier in the week. I said, that Strife and I would be taking legal action, if you wandered into our business once again, and thats exactly what youve done. And theres also some papers in here that will make sure that DC never wrestles in this company again.
Myles looks unaffected, and shakes his head at Creed.
Myles:Heres the deal you slimy little maggot! You leave those papers behind, and forget about them. You broke the rules I laid down, and should pay the price. However, Im not going to lie; DC didnt win, and should therefore quit. But because of the circumstances surrounding the finish to that match, I think its only fair, that if you dont keep on with this legal crap, I will not suspend your boytoy Strife.
Creed seems to think about this for a while, before he looks over at DC.
Creed:And what is happening with him?
Myles:As I see it, no matter what legal papers say, DC, and only DC decides if he quits or not. Not you. So, DC, are you going to quit my company?
DC stares out at the cheering fans, urging him to say no. He looks at Creed with cold eyes, before turning to Myles.
DC: HELL NO!
The crowd erupts in cheers as Creed mutters under his breath.
Creed:Fine! Fine! This blasphemous little punk can stay. But believe me Myles, you may think you have won, but this war has not even begun. This is blackmail, and in this country, that is an ill-
Myles:Kicking your ass may also be illegal, but if you dont shut your mouth, I will be forced to do it! Bring all your lawyers, I dont give a crap. This is a wrestling business, and this is my company. So Creed, you and Strife can bite my ass!
The sharp guitar rhythm kicks in as Creed looks beside himself. DC applauds Myles, who exits the ring, not looking too happy. He walks up the ramp and slaps a few of the fans hands, before ducking behind the curtain, leaving Creed to yell out this is not over! to him. Suddenly, Creed tries a cheap shot on DC, but DC blocks it and hits rights and hands on Creed. DC knocks Creed to the floor with a clothesline, and heads to the top turnbuckle, going for the Flat Our! Just as DC looks about to jump off, Creed rolls out of the way and out of the ring, gripping his head. DC points out after him, telling him to come back into the ring. Creed just looks at DC with pure hatred, before backing up the ramp.
Copeland:Chuck Myles diffused this situation, but Creed obviously wanted to go on with it. Cohen:This is a damn outrage! Sue Myles Creed! Sue him for every penny he has! DC should be out of here, and he and Myles have found some way around it! Copeland:That way was Creed costing DC his match last week, after Chuck Myles said that he would suspend Strife if Creed came out. He made the decision that if Creed wanted to pursue legal action against Myles or DC, to get him to leave the company, then Myles would suspend Strife! Cohen: Thats blackmail damn it! Blackmail! DC knows he is supposed to quit, but hes too much of a girl to admit it! Copeland:He would have won that match if it werent for Creed! He had every right to object to it! And I dont know what the hell Creed is trying to do with Myles, but it obviously isnt fazing the owner too much. Cohen:Well it should. I happen to know that Creed is very high up in the religious community, and they have some very good lawyers. Myles and DC might even be put behind bars if Creed takes it further. Copeland:But the good thing is, Creed has the brains not to take it further. If he did, Im sure Myles would fire both him and Strife, and thats obviously something that Creed doesnt want, although I wouldnt mind seeing it. Myles has sorted the issue out, its the end of the story. DC is moving on in the Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament, and hes going to face the winner of Craig vs. Rios. I think Creed should be more worried about Strifes upcoming match than he should be with this rubbish.
Copeland: Well what a start we have made here to Meltdown. A terrific first up match in Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament between DC and Aries. And now we gear up for some triple threat action.
Cohen: These three men are looking to make a splash, but Myles has made it a difficult task; a triple threat match. Take it away Kyle Harrys!
Harrys: The following contest is a triple threat match and it is scheduled for one fall.
Suddenly the lights dim and The Arms of Sorrow fills the packed out arena. Slowly Arch Angel steps onto the stage. His head is bowed and covered by his trench coat hood. A few beats of the song play before he lifts his head to the crowd. Nodding at the crowd Arch Angel slowly makes his way towards the ring. He slides under the bottom rope.
Harrys: Introducing first, from Chicago; Illinois, weighing in at 234lbs, Arch Angel!
Suddenly the lights go completely out. The the arena is filled with 'Supernova goes Pop'. The lights to the arena come back to life and Everest is standing in the middle of the entrance way. As the crowd sees him a huge cheer goes up, which Everset soaks in. Everset then makes his way hastily towards the ring.
Harrys: and his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 205 pounds, Everest!
Arabic music hits the speakers, as the crowd begin booing, waiting the arrival of Mohammad Hasheem.
Harrys: And his opponent, from Ramallah City, Afghanistan , weighing in at 285 pounds, Mohammad Hasheem!
There is still no sign of Hasheem after a long wait. The crowd is hushed in confusion. After Hasheems music has played twice, we see Mohammad Hasheem, Rajeem and Rasheeka in the back smiling.
Hasheem:You stupid Americans do not believe me, do you? I told you countless times that I will not be appearing in this match-up! Some may said that I am chicken sh*t! Some say that I am afraid! Well neither are correct! It was my choice, MY CHOICE, to not participate in this match! This is a message to everyone in this world! I do what I want, whenever I want! I do not, and will not be pressured into any match! There are 3 people I have to address. The first one is Everest! You know what, I will include Arch Angel in this as well! The both of you can drop dead, you are probable so happy right now that I am not participating in this match because if I did, then the 2 of you wont have nothing left to even compete in the Pinnacle Battle Royal later on tonight, which by the way I was even fuckened asked to be in the match! And to you Chuck Myles, I hate you so much that if you ever mess with me again, I will kill you, literally! I am an Arab American, it is my destiny to serve my country and to destroy all threats, and you, Chuck Myles, are a threat to me and to my people! Death to you, Myles, and death to America!
As Everest and Arch Angel look out in confusion, Chuck Myles appears on the screen, not looking too happy.
Myles:I thought that you would wuss out of this match sooner or later Hasheem. But Everest and Angel, you might not have to deal with that idiot tonight, but you will have to deal with another superstar. If Hasheem has pulled out, it leaves me no choice, other than to put this superstar in the match. Good luck to all of you.
Radio Star hits the speaks as Titus makes his way out from the back to cheers from the crowd. He has one of his Oscars in his right and he stops and waves to his adoring fans before making his way towards the ring. Just near the apron he stops again and takes in the cheers of the sold out crowd.
Harrys: their opponent, from Newcastle England, weighing in at 200pounds, Titus!
Nearly as soon as Harrys finishes announcing Titus, Everest charges at Arch Angel in the ring. He begins hitting him with lefts and rights, gaining an early advantage. He grabs Arch Angels hand and Irish whips him into the ropes. By this stage Titus has hopped up onto the ring apron, but is sent flying off of the apron as he collides with Arch Angel, we can clearly see their heads clashing.

With Everest down laying on his face, Titus locks in the Ankle Lock! Everest struggles towards the ropes, hand out stretched trying to clasp onto the bottom rope.

He locks in a Rear naked choke. Titus reaches out for the ropes but is no where near them. He is in no mans land as Arch Angel applies more pressure to the choke. Titus is saved by Everest delivering a kick to the back of Arch Angel, causing the hold to be broken. Everest then gets Arch Angel to his feet and his a Russian Legsweep. Titus seems to be struggling as a result of the chokehold, but he has no time to recover as Everest then grabs him and hits a vicious German Suplex.

The referee turns towards them ordering them to leave, but Rajeem and Rasheeka try everyting to keep the refs attention diverted.
Because on the other side of the ring Mohammed Hasheem has made his way seemingly from under the ring and has slid into the ring chair in hand. Titus is sitting up on his knees wondering what is going on. When 'bam', he his hit in the back of the head by Hasheem, once then twice hard. Hasheem then tosses the chair out of the ring, grabs Titus and hits The Toss Breaker! (Flying Neckbreaker where he picks the opponent up in a fireman's carry and spins them off into a neckbreaker) Hasheem then stops for a moment looking around and turns sliding out of the ring and begins to make his way back to the back. At the same time as Hasheem exits the ring Rajeem and Rasheeka stop distracting the ref, who turns to see Everest barely on his feet, Arch Angel struggling to get to his feet and Titus seemingly out in the centre of the ring. Arch Angel is barely up but is soon hit with a kick to the side of the temple. Everest then rushes over to the limp form of Titus he locks in the Mountain Climber (Dragon Sleeper) to an already out Titus. The ref checks Titus raises his hand it drops once, raises his hand, it drops twice, raise Tituss hand for a third time, but it drops again and the ref calls for the bell.
Harrys: Here is your winner, by knockout Everest!!
On the top of the ramp stands Hasheem, Rajeem and Rasheeka who all smile down at the ring before turning and making their way backstage.
Match 3: Pinnacle Pursuit Tournament, Round 1: Strife vs. Will Josephs
Copland: This next match should be interesting; you have the dominating giant Strife versus the Tenacious Iron will Josephs
Cohen:My only thought is that Josephs better keep on his feet and not let Strife get a hold of him if he as any hope of winning this match
Harrys: This match is scheduled for one fall, and it is a Pinnacle Pursuit tournament Match. Making His way to the ring, Accompanied by his manager Dr. David Creed, weighing 340 lbs, Strife!
An Air Raid Siren rings throughout the arena. It cycles through twice before the arena turns into pitch black.
My Heaven begins to play as A single white light shines upon the entrance ramp to reveal a figure in dark brown robes and a shiny Iron Mask standing on stage. The figure then makes a symbol of a cross with his right hand, (Roman-Catholic Blessing), and proceeds to walk slowly to the ring, followed by his manager, Dr. Creed. A slow and deliberate pace is walked before Strife finally makes his way to the ring. He slowly makes his way to the Steps as he climbs, and proceeds to step over the top rope. Creed follows shortly thereafter, climbing through the middle rope. Strife stands like a statue in the corner, as Creed moves to the middle of the ring, a second spotlight shining upon him. Creed makes his way to the corner, and begins to disrobe Strife, all the while Strife stands motionless. Once the robe is taken off, Creed stands in front of the Monster and makes a motion with his head. At this point, Strife reaches up and unlatches the Iron Mask with his left hand in the back. His right hand lowers the Iron Mask to reveal the Executioners Hood underneath. Strife then places his mask onto the folded up Robe that Creed carries. Creed exits the ring as Strife stands motionless in the corner, waiting for the bell to ring.
Harrys:And his opponent, making his way to the ring, from Pennslyvania, weighing 242 lbs, Iron Will Josephs!
Electric Funeral by Black Sabbath hits the arena as Iron Will Makes his way to the ring. He glances up nervously at the giant standing in front of him, but then he sakes his head, as in shaking off his fear, and runs in a dead bolt into the ring to meet the giant head on.
Strife immediately goes on the attack, grabbing Josephs and tossing him into the corner. Then with surprising agility and speed, he delivers the crushing rights and lefts to Josephs. Strife overwhelms Josephs with elbow strikes, finally hitting a crushing uppercut with so much force, that it almost knocks Josephs out of the ring. Strife whips Josephs across the ring, only he follows him and crushes him with a body Avalanche on the other side. Strife backs off and returns to the other corner. He glances at his manager, who gives him a nod and tells him to keep going. Strife runs full force and gives Josephs another Avalanche on the other side, knocking Josephs down. Strife puts both his hands around Josephs neck, and with a gruesome display of raw power picks him up over his head, swings him around while carrying him to the center of the ring. Strife Lifts Josephs over his head once again and slams him down hard with a sit down chokebomb. As Strife goes to pin Josephs, Creed gets on the apron and tells Strife to inflict more punishment. Strife Hits a one arm sidewalk slam, before measuring Josephs for a chokeslam. Strife slaps on the choke before lifting Josephs high into the air, slamming him down with one arm. Strife picks up Josephs limp body, and military presses him over his head. Instead of dropping him down to the match, Strife looks over at Creed who is pointing at the turnbuckle. Strife walks Josephs over to the turnbuckle and drops him down over the turnbuckle in a modified snake eyes. Strife then shows runs and bounces off the ropes before destroying Josephs with a Big Boot. Strife looks out at Creed, who now gives him the thumbs down. Strife then Sets Josephs up for a powerbomb, but instead guillotines him by dropping him on the top rope. Strife reaches down and pulls Josephs up by the head as he applies his Vice of Virtue finisher on Josephs. Josephs struggles against the hold, but there is nothing he can do. Josephs body goes limp after a few seconds, after referee calls for the bell.
Harrys:Here is your winner, Strife!
On the outside Creed, gets a chair. Creed enters the ring as Strife is having his hand raised after a dominating victory. The referee tries to take the chair from Creed, but Strife just Tosses him out of the ring. Creed sets the Chair into position, as Strife picks up the prone body of Josephs. Strife lifts Josephs into the Crucifix position as Creed watches on. Strife then gives Josephs The Holy Retribution onto a chair. Josephs Body is shaking with spasms of pain. More referees and Officials arrive on the scene to try and stop Strife, but he just intimidates them, and scares all of them away from coming inside the ring to stop them. Creed tells Strife to dispose of Josephs, So Strife picks up Josephs again and places him the crucifix position high over his head. Strife turns to face the officials in front of him, with Josephs over his head. Strife suddenly runs, and gives Josephs a Tossing Holy Retribution over the top rope to the floor, just missing the officials. The officials turn to attend to Josephs while Strife and Creed stand tall in the ring watching the carnage below.
Copland:Oh my God, Strife just destroyed Iron Will Josephs!
Cohen:This wasnt a match, this a slaughter fest, sheer domination by Strife.
Copland:I want to know, who in the hell can stop Strife?
Cohen:After that display, I dont think theres anyone here that can stop Strife, we may just be looking at the next WZCW Champion.
(Match written by: Echelon)
We cut backstage to a private box high up in the arena. Some adults are drinking adult beverages at the bar, while others are sitting down eating food. In the front row of the box, three kids are sitting there wearing WZCW gear, looking down at the ring excitedly as Strife celebrates in the ring with David Creed. The kids look on. The camera pans out to reveal Koala Typhoon and Windy Bridges sitting around the kids watching with them, in their ring gear and a Northern Lights t-shirt each.
Kid: That guys scary!
Koala: Dont worry kids, he cant get you up here. Youre safe.
Windy: Plus if they ever tried to hurt you guys wed take care of him.
Kid2: We know! Thanks for the seats again, this is awesome!
Windy: Hey, no problem kiddies, it was our pleasure! Anything for the youth. You guys just enjoy the show, ok?
Koala: Right. Sorry kids, but Windy and I gotta head down to the ring, our debut match is up next!
The kids exclaim disappointment as Windy and Koala get up, pat the kids on the head, shake the parents hands and walk out of the private box stretching and getting ready for their match on their way down to the ring.
Copeland: Northern Lights vs. 2Fly and Tristan Kist, coming right up after this!
Match 4: Northern Lights vs. 2Fly and Tristan Kist
Copeland:And now for the debut of Northern Lights, the wacky Canadians that we had the pleasure of being joined by last week here on commentary. Cohen: I wouldn't call it a pleasure, I would call it a pain in the behind. Who are these morons anyway, sucking up to kids. Impress the real fans of wrestling by doing it in the ring. And I don't like their chances against 2Fly and Tristan Kist. Copeland:Both these sides are relatively unknown though to us WZCW fans. They're all making their debuts tonight, but I just like Northern Lights here, they're bouncing with energy, and Kist and 2Fly could be in for a tough night at the office. Cohen:What the hell are you basing your opinions of Kist and Fly on Cope? Copeland:I caught up with them backstage, and they were as arrogant as they come. Northern Lights are about entertaining the fans, and they look fired up, so that's what I'm basing it on. Cohen:Don't tarnish Kist and 2Fly's reputations before they've even been in the ring here in WZCW! Copeland:How did I tarnish them? Cohen: By saying that they actually talked to you, God.
Harrys:The following contest, is scheduled for one fall! In the ring, from Trenton, New Jersey, weighing in at 250 pounds, Tristan Kist!
Kist is shown in the ring as make an "X" with his forearms out to the crowd, to no reaction.
Harrys: And his partner, from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 240 pounds, 2Fly!
The camera pans out and we see 2Fly next to Kist, who raises his arms, again, to no reaction from the crowd. A dim blue light takes over the arena as the roar of a bear, followed by the cry of an eagle screams over the arena, as the crowd hangs in anticipation. Suddenly, Animals by Nickelback hits and the lights flicker between the existent blue haze and a bright red light. Out of the back, Koala Typhoon and Windy Bridges, Northern Lights appear, full of energy, and jog down to the ring, slapping hands with fans on their way down.
Harrys:And their opponents, from Red Deer, Alberta, weighing in at a combined total of 480 pounds, Koala Typhoon and Windy Bridges: Northern Lights!
Once they just about hit the ring, Koala takes a left, and Windy takes a right, slapping hands with fans on their way around the ring, meeting on the other side. They slap hands before Windy slides into the ring and Koala grabs the second rope, lifts himself up to the apron and enters the ring. Both jump up on opposing second turnbuckles and pose for the fans as the regular lights come back on as, Kist and Fly are held back by the referee from attacking Northern Lights. Northern Lights look around in a heated staredown, before the bell is rung and this one begins!
Koala Typhoon looks to start out with Tristan Kist here. The two move together and lock up in the middle of the ring. Typhoon looks to have the better of it, and grounds Kist down, before hitting a kick to the gut of Kist. Kist grips his stomach before backing off a little, frustrated. The crowd cheers for Typhoon. Kist shakes himself off, and goes to charge at Typhoon, who ducks, as Kist loses his balance and almost charges into Windy Bridges on the apron. Kist stops and smirks, looking between his closed fist and Bridges, and goes to strike Bridges, before Bridges decks him with a right hand first, and as Kist stumbles back, Typhoon hits a Northern Lights suplex! Typhoon keeps it in a bridge as the referee counts this pin:
1! 2! But 2Fly runs into the ring and breaks up the count.
Fly puts in a stomp on Typhoon for good measure again, before swiftly ducking out as Bridges looked ready to come in. Typhoon gets himself back to his feet, before shaking his head and looking at 2Fly raising his hands in innocence.
Copeland:Every man has already gotten himself involved in this match, and Kist looked stunned, I thought he was out for that pin before 2Fly illegally broke it up. Cohen:Illegally? Cope, thats tag team wrestling. Arent you even going to bring up the cheap shot that Typhoon or whoever the hell it was, gave to Kist? THAT was illegal!
Typhoon turns back to Kist, and drags him to his corner and tags in Windy Bridges, who jumps over the ropes and into the ring. Before Typhoon leaves, he lifts Kist up and hits a flapjack onto the top turnbuckle. As Kist is knocked to the mat, Bridges climbs the top rope. The crowd amps up, before Bridges dives off with a diving elbow drop! Kist writhes around in pain, as Bridges moves in for the cover:
1! 2! But again, 2Fly breaks up the cover attempt.
As 2Fly goes to escape the ring, Bridges grabs his left leg and trips him face first in front of his corner. The crowd laugh along with Northern Lights, as the referee moves him out of the ring. Bridges is up and lifts Kist as well, sending him into the turnbuckles. Bridges comes charging after Kist with a stiff clothesline and takes him down with a one-armed bulldog before moving in for the pin. Suddenly, Bridges stops as he sees 2Fly ready to come into the ring from the apron. Bridges charges at 2Fly and hits a dropkick through the ropes that sends 2Fly flying off the apron and landing with a thud on the mats below. Bridges looks out at the crowd and at Fly, before climbing the top rope. Bridges waits for Fly to come up, as the crowd rises to their feet. As 2Fly makes it to a vertical base, Bridges looks ready to dive off, before Kist charges from nowhere and knocks Bridges off his feet, sending him crotch-first on the top turnbuckle..

The referee scolds Kist, as 2Fly rolls Bridges into the middle of the ring and into a cover attempt:
1! 2! But Bridges kicks out!
2Fly steps up and looks angry, as he lifts Bridges up and hits some rights and lefts, before taking him down with a clothesline. 2Fly looks cockily around the crowd, as he bends down and scoops Bridges up. Looking for a scoop slam, but Bridges catches himself on his feet, before turning around on a shocked 2Fly and hitting a DDT. Both Bridges and 2Fly are on the mats, as the crowd starts firing up, willing Bridges over to an outstretched Typhoon. Bridges looks set to reach him, before Kist comes in and drags Bridges back into the middle of the ring by one leg. The referee admonishes Kist, and while his back is turned, Typhoon climbs sneakily into the ring and drags Bridges back near his corner. He ducks out of the ring again, and makes the tag to Bridges as the shocked referee turns around.
Copeland:You've got to love Northern Lights. Yes, that was bending the rules, but they were giving it back to Tristan Kist for what he did to stop them getting the tag in the first place. Cohen:Come off it! If that was anyone else, you would be crying out in anger!
Typhoon comes in and immediately runs towards Kist, who has his back turned and doesnt see anything, still moving to get out of the ring. Typhoon creeps over to him, and just as Kist is about to duck under the ropes, he taps him on the back. Kist freezes a little, before slowly turning around. Typhoon quickly runs the other side of Kist as he turns around, and Kist is left scratching his head. The crowd laughs, before Typhoon hits an inverted atomic drop on a shocked Kist. Kist grips his lower areas, before Typhoon charges to the ropes and back into a bulldog headlock takedown on Kist. Windy Bridges has gotten to his feet, and sees 2Fly trying to sneak up on Typhoon. Bridges runs at Fly and hits a German suplex. Northern Lights high-five in the middle of the ring, before simultaneously lifting up Kist and 2Fly, and Irish whipping them both to opposite turnbuckles. The bigger Typhoon takes Windy Bridges, and Irish whips Bridges first into Kist, and as Bridges comes back, he Irish whips Typhoon into 2Fly!
The crowd rises and applauds Northern Lights, as Kist and 2Fly stumble together in the ring. Bridges takes 2Fly and hits a swinging neckbreaker, as Typhoon takes Kist and delivers a spinebuster on top of Fly!
Copeland: Northern Lights are on fire here Force! Cohen:What the hell is that referee doing? Butler, get your ass in there and do some officiating damn it! Copeland:Hes just paying Tristan Kist and 2Fly back for their cheating before hand. Hey, the crowd is having fun, Northern Lights are having a ball, and youre just being the party pooper. Cohen:I am the life of the party Copeland, never forget that. Youd know if you ever went to parties. You are what we call the loser. But its not a party person, because they dont get invited. The story of your life I suppose.
Windy gets out of the ring as the referee rolls Kist into his corner. Typhoon slowly picks up 2Fly, ho gauges him in the eyes while the refs back is turned, before 2Fly hits an Orton-style backbreaker out of nowhere!
Copeland:Wow! That looks to be the first offence that 2Fly and Kist have got in for a very long time. Cohen:And now begins these idiot Canadians downfall.
2Fly looks like he has snapped, as he puts in a few angry kicks to the ribs of Typhoon. He lifts Typhoon up and sends him shoulder first into the steel ring post. He sits Typhoon against the bottom turnbuckle, and puts a knee right into his face. The referee starts a 5 count, which is broken up at 4. Kist makes his way slowly back to his feet, and as 2Fly begins arguing with Paul Butler, Kist moves and starts choking Typhoon from the outside. The crowd showers him with boos, and out of the corner of the referees eye, he sees Windy Bridges look to come into the ring. He moves quickly to prevent him from doing so as Bridges argues in vain, as Kist continues to choke Typhoon out. 2Fly moves over and puts a boot into the temple of Typhoon that rattles the brains of him. The referee finally turns around as Bridges reluctantly obliges, and Kist breaks up his choke and moves away innocently, as 2Fly drags Typhoon into the middle of the ring.

Copeland:Kist and 2Fly certainly have turned the tables on Northern Lights here, catching many by surprise. Cohen:I knew they had it in them. If Koala Typhoons parents are watching, I hope they are seeing the beating hes receiving. Maybe that will teach you for giving him a name like Koala. Stupid Canadians.

Windy Bridges looks between the referee and 2Fly, who is slowly getting up along with Typhoon, before Remedy by Seether hits the speakers.
Copeland:Oh no! Oh no! Its Sex and Violence! And the referee is down! I do not like this! I do not like this! Cohen: Ha ha! Sex and Violence are just coming out to oversee this one, theyre not going to do anything.

Harrys:Here are your winners: Windy Bridges and Koala Typhoon: Northern Lights!!
Copeland:They did it! The new team on the scene, Windy Bridges and Koala Typhoon have defeated fellow newcomers Tristan Kist and 2Fly, in their debut match! What an impressive showing. Cohen: Im not saying a word. Butler had some of the worst refereeing Ive ever seen. Northern Lights should have been disqualified. They cheated while he was down for Gods sake! Copeland:Well, thats the wacky Northern Lights for you, they had fun in the ring and got the job done, and looked impressive. Cohen:But what the hell was the point of Sex and Violence coming out to the arena and not doing anything?
Bridges rejoins his partner as they hold off celebrating, as Sex and Violence and Northern Lights have a heated stareoff.

After a while, Sex and Violence stop and stare up at Northern Lights, before making their way to the back. Outside the ring, Kist and 2Fly are arguing, both gripping the backs of their heads in pain.

Northern Lights then hit a double clothesline on Fly and Kist, sending them tumbling out of the ring. Animals hits the speakers as Northern Lights celebrate in the ring to a roaring crowd.
Copeland:Well Im still a little confused as to the actions of Sex and Violence. Were they saving themselves for the Battle Royal or something? Its not like them to resist an opportunity to take out a weakened opponent. Cohen:Northern Lights have just been through a tough match, Sex and Violence were playing it smart by saving their attack until the Battle Royal, when it matters. Copeland:Well, a disappointing night for Kist and 2Fly, they just didnt perform and were outclassed in the end. A great debut for Northern Lights: Koala Typhoon and Windy Bridges!
Chuck Myles appears on the screen to a huge cheer from the crowd. He is back in his office, looking calm as usual.
Myles:You know, I had a treat planned for tonight. But...I decided to save it for next week!
The crowd boos at Myles, who laughs a little.
Myles:I wouldn't do that to my loyal WZCW fans, here in San Diego!
The crowd changes to huge cheers, before Myles looks a little more serious.
Myles:Now, I felt that there was something missing here in WZCW. And that, was a theme song. So, I consulted some of my backstage crew, and we had to decide who, out of a long list of bands, should be able to give us a theme song. It was a tough decision, and because we're so lazy, we decided to give you guys the chance. If you logged on to WZCW.com, you would have seen a poll there, letting you decide which song should be the WZCW theme song. It came down, to two bands: Finger Eleven, with 'Paralyzer', and Disturbed, with '10 Thousand Fists'. And I know the winner, and called up the band, and they were more than happy to come here and give a live performance of their song!
The crowd erupts in cheers, before Myles gestures out to the arena.
Myles:Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...Finger Eleven, performing WZCW's NEW Theme Song: "Paralyzer"!!
Finger Eleven comes out to huge cheers, as the WZCW crew have set up a band stage on the side of the entranceway. They come out and take their places behind their instruments, and begin playing as the crowd cheer them on!
[youtube]BYGCT4AQIR0[/youtube]
The song finishes with a BANG, as the crowd erupts in applause. Finger Eleven thank the fans, before they all crowd around one mic and give the devil horns to the crowd.
Finger Eleven: WZCW FUCKING ROCKS!!!
Finger Eleven leaves the arena and heads to the back, acknowledging the fans, with the noise still ringing in the arena.
Copeland:Wow! What an amazing performance by Finger Eleven! I'm loving this new song! Cohen:Please Cope, don't kid yourself, we all know you only like the music because everyone else cheers for it. You're more of a classical kind of loser. But it was an awesome performance, and I'm looking forward to hearing it every week.

We Fly High by Jimmy Jones hits over the PA System in the arena. The scene cuts to a limo driving through the city at night. Cut back to the arena where a limo pulls up backstages and the doors open to reveal all four members of High Society in the parking lot. As Ace Cannon, Jason Sincade, AJ and Bishop make their way through the backstage area to the ring, we hear Sebastian Copeland and Jack Cohen speak back at ringside.
Copeland: Well, ladies and gentlemen, High Society is making their way to the ring, you know what that means! Cohen: Its time for our main event! Alright!! Battle Royal time! Copeland: FOURTEEN men and TWO women will enter the ring, ONE will come out victorious and move on to the semi-finals of the Pinnacle Pursuit tournament. Cohen: Thats right, and that person will have a ONE in FOUR shot at holding the WZCW World Championship over his head at Unscripted on August 26th. Copeland: And Jack, here come FOUR of those men, on their way to the ring right now.
At this point, High Society steps through the curtains to a chorus of boos and starts making their way down to the ring, taunting the fans.
Cohen: Cope, do you want my expert opinion on this one? Copeland: Are you going to give it to me even if I say no? Cohen: Isnt that what your wife tells you every night Cope? Copeland: Har har har. Cohen: Anyway, I was saying . If you ask me, one of these four men WILL win the battle royal tonight. Copeland: There are TWELVE other people in this match, Jack. Cohen: But none of them have three other guys theyre tight enough with to trust completely. Copeland: Good point Jack. But like I said twelve other guys will be in this match, and as we know, anything can happen!
As High Society enters the ring, Might Getcha by David Banner hits over the sound system and Jack Harris makes his way down to the ring, taunting the fans. He enters the ring and stares down High Society. As Harris turns to taunt the fans, Animals by Nickelback hits over the sound system and Koala Typhoon and Windy Bridges appear at the top of the stage to a loud pop. As the lights flicker from red to blue and back, they jog down to the ring. Once they just about hit the ring, they go in opposite directions, slapping hands with fans on their way. They meet on the other side and slap hands before they both enter the ring. High Society taunts them and Harris stares them down as the warm up for the match.
Copeland: And heres another couple of guys who might have a good chance at getting far in this thing. Cohen: That is if theyre not too worn out from their earlier match. But then again I hear the airs pretty thin up there in Canada. Copeland: Well they were pretty impressive in their debut, and that luck might continue into this battle royal!

In the corner, Everest is stomping away on Arch Angel, whos now curled up against the bottom turnbuckle. He bends over to pick up Angel, but Harris appears behind him, after having knocked AJ to the mat with an uppercut, and clubs him in the back. Harris places Everest face first between the second and third ropes and begins working his neck and chest as Angel recuperates in the corner.

Copeland:What a tremendous display of athleticism from Aurelia Molotov! Did you see that Jack? Cohen:Unfortunately I did I think I saw a little too much from that angle to tell you the truth. I think I might be sick to my stomach. Copeland:What action! Folks, stay in your seats, because theres much more where that came from, well be right back!

Copeland:The action has spilled to ringside, ladies and gentlemen. Downward Spiral attempted some typical Sex & Violence tactics but Windy Bridges caught wind (pun intended) and turned the tables. Cohen: Maybe so, but Brian Michaels is putting the smackdown on Koala Typhoon!
Windy gives Spiral an elbow drop as hes lying on the math, and quickly applies his patented camel clutch.
Copeland:Its a camel clutch! Cohen:Bridges, you idiot! You cant make your opponent tap in this match. Let go of the stupid submission and throw him over the damned top rope!

Copeland:By God, it took three men, but they eliminated her! Aurelia has been eliminated by High Society! Cohen:I told you Copeland, the numbers game would work to High Societys advantage, its only a matter of time now before theyre in the final three!
Back from the break, Celeste is being triple teamed in the corner by High Society. Windy Bridges and Everest are now exchanging blows in the middle of the ring.

Michaels gets up from his move and smirks, pleased with what hes accomplished, to heavy boos from the crowd and a clapping motion from his partner, Downward Spiral.
