WZCW SuperShow I: The "Megashow"

[Phoenix]

Everest is stands posed and ready to take out Bratchny, but out comes Titus who runs down the entrance ramp and slides into the ring, to stand poised behind Everest. Karen points Everest to turn around, who does so and sees Titus just standing there staring at him with Everest just staring intensely back.

Scene slows down into black and white

They both stand there staring

Resumes as normal

Bratchny breaks it up and holds Everest in a headlock and looks for From Russia With Love while Titus slides back out of the ring but Everest shoves Titus off and grabs him with The Rock Slide which connects. Cover by Everest 1……2……3.

Everest sits up in a position that’s comfortable for his back but sits there staring at Titus who stands outside the ring next to the apron. The ref gives Everest his belt back and holds it tightly while staring at Titus still. Titus eventually heads up the ramp while Everest gets back to his feet, raising his belt in the air, watching on Titus who turns back around and stares back.

The crowd cheer as he lands a few chops to Ricky and then launches himself off of the ropes and lands a flying clothesline to Ricky. Titus looks to be building some momentum as a sickening thud comes from outside of the ring. Titus stops in his tracks as he inspects what has happened. He looks out and sees Carmen Bratchny strewn out on the floor with Blade standing over him with the chair in his hand.

Titus looks shocked and dismayed. Trevor Steel runs at Blade and he too get strewn out by Blade as another sickening crash fills the arena. Blade looks Titus in the eye as Blade makes his way up the ramp. He turns around to look at Titus once more before mouthing “IT WAS ME”. Titus looks absolutely shocked and does not notice Everest coming from behind him. Everest takes Titus by surprise and as Titus turns around, Everest plants him with The Rock Slide. Everest quickly rolls out of the ring and Ricky gets up as the rWo look on with surprise. Ricky picks up Titus and lands the Blunderbuss. Ricky climbs on top of Titus and the referee counts the fall. 1…2…3.

Connor: I do not believe what just unfolded before my eyes.

Cohen: Get used to it, CC. The strong are running the show and Titus needs to realise this.

Connor: Everest cost Titus this match when he was in control.

Everest makes his way up the ramp, smiling very widely as Titus begins to regain consciousness.

*Pryos go off*​

Copeland: Hello and Bonsoir from Paris, France as the WZCW have rolled into town for this one night special before we reach London for Kingdom Come. Hello again everybody, I'm Sebastian Copeland, alongside Jack Cohen and Cat Connors, we're at ringside and are ready for the WZCW Megashow!

Connor: This is quite an exciting time for me Cope as I will going to my first ever Kingdom Come, I watched it last time at home and now I will be the envy of my friends as I will be doing commentary with you...and Jack.

Cohen: I'm pleased you're happy to go by first name acquaintances, Mademoiselle!

Cohen tries to continue his French flirting but 'Supernova Goes Pop' hits over the speakers as the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion Everest comes out in his training gear and heads down the rampway

Harrys: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Everest!

Everest climbs into the ring and takes the microphone from Truman Harrys who leaves Everest alone in the ring.

Everest: I realise that most of you here tonight won't understand me, but then most people don't seem to understand me. I stand before you on the last stop before Kingdom Come, ready for a successful defence of this championship belt against a man who feel it is his time!

Yet, last week, the best idea he could come up with to try and play mind games was by running into my match with Carmen Bratchny and give me a stare. Titus, if you wish to send a message, then do something more effective! I found your petty attempts to put me off to be infuriating, so I sent you my example the next night on Ascension. The difference between you and me Titus is that if I want my opponent to fear me, I give him a reason to fear me! All you did was show how much of an easy target you are as well as a man who is all mouth and no talk! In fact I...

Titus' music kicks in as he comes out with a microphone and heads straight down to the ring and stands directly opposite to Everest.

Titus: So you got my message then?

You see, the fact is that you came out on Ascension to attack me proved that what I did was effective enough to get your attention. And that was just that. It's funny how a long time ago we've been here, starting off as young rookies with a good life ahead of us. I messed up it and got suspended, you became Mayhem Champion at Kingdom Come, I returned you became WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, I became the longest reigning Elite X Champion, you reclaim the belt and are now the longest reigning World Champion and I am the Lethal Lottery winner.

Everest: Which just proves one thing, that despite being here so long, the only difference between you and me is that I don't make mistakes while you continue making them. You betrayed me on Meltdown Six with that kick to the gut followed by a Tit Drop, and what did I do? The following week, I took a steel chair, that you brought to the ring and I destroyed you with it! You got suspended, I headlined pay per view after pay per view. But when it comes down to who is the best, all the proof needed is what is sitting on my shoulder right now, The World Heavyweight Championship.

Titus: Something I wish to contest over at Kingdom Come.

Everest: Titus, I beat you before, what's to stop me from beating you again?

Titus: I'll keep it simple. If you want to prove to the world and most importantly, to me, why you're the better man? Then I wish to make this match a Pure Rules Match! Three ropes breaks allowed, no closed fists on the account of losing one of their rope break chances, twenty count on the outside and most importantly, the title can change hands on a disqualification or countout. You see, I've seen how you've been of late, aggressive, getting DQed, counted out, you surely don't want to say you retained your title because you couldn't bring your A game into this match?

Everest: If you think that is the most appropriate way to defeat you, then so be it! But know this, Titus, I always bring my A game into every championship match whenever I'm challenging or defending, those matches that occured every other week simply didn't matter. In fact, I wanted this match to happen that I'm offering to get it over and done with right!

Everest drops the mike and gets in Titus' face to which Titus shoves back, knocking the belt off of Everest's shoulder who then runs at Titus and takes him down with some rights but Titus reverses it and they keep rolling around hitting until the referees and security try to break them up.

Copeland: These two can't wait to get it on, and with Pure Rules too! This is one Main Event to remember!

Vance Bateman then comes out while the security restrain the two competitors

Bateman: Gentleman, it seems we have a problem. While myself and Myles have no problem with this Pure Rules decision, the fact is that you two need to restrain yourselves for tonight. You're both on the same team tonight and I require both of you to co-operate with each other. I will warn you both right now, if either of you fail to work with each other and end up brawling out like you just did then tonight, then forget about Kingdom Come. You both will be suspended from the pay per view, but also the man who throws the first punch will be never seen in a World Title Match again! Do I make myself clear? Now get ready because you got a match to prepare for!

Bateman leaves as Titus and Everest relax themselves down before leaving up the aisle with the security in escort.

Copeland: Kingdom Come has arrived too early for these two, but will they both keep under Bateman and Myles' orders?

Cohen: They have to be intelligent enough to know that Main Eventing Kingdom Come is an honour you don't simply want to drop for the sake of getting into a fist fight, no matter how much you hate each other!

Connor: I think the right call was made, not just for tonight but with the match itself, the fact that Everest has to beat Titus and vice-versa makes them going in without any advantages or disadvantages. As you rightly said, this will be a match to watch!

Copeland: And now let's get started with a new WZCW debutant!

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

The Guillotine by Escape The Fate hits as CardiffCam sprints down to the ring. He stops at the bottom and mimicks a sniper aimed at the crowd. He then slides into the ring and continues to taunt the crowd.

Harrys: Introducing first, from Cardiff, Wales, he weighs in at 190 pounds, CardiffCam!

Copeland: CardiffCam was dominant in his debut match. Jack, Cat, how well do you think Cradiff will do tonight against the seasoned vetern Excellency.

Cohen: First I would hardly call Excellency a seasoned vet. Second, Cardiff will roll over him tonight.

Connor: Cardiff has to make sure he doesn’t get too cocky. Excellency will take advantage of any mistake he makes.

Falling On by Finger Eleven hits as Chuck Myles walks onto the stage.

Myles: First, Excellency, that was the worst performance yet in your less than stellar... ah hell I ain’t going to sugar coat it, You’re Fired! Now Cardiff I’ve decided that instead of giving you a harsh discipline for your disrespectful attitude I’m going to give you a chance to back your claim. I’m going to add you to the USA verse Crashin match that is happening right now. And to the winner of the match, I have a very special surprise for that I will be announcing later tonight. Now let’s start this match.

Black Betty starts to play and Crashin makes his way onto the ramp he nods at Myles and starts walking to the ring as they go to commercial.

 

[Phoenix]

We return from commercial and Crashin is now in the ring.

Crashin: Ladies and Gentleman! The opponent who is going to win here tonight weighs in at 240 pounds! He hails from Yokohama, Japan and is The Incredible One, Doug Craaaaassssshhhhhiiiiinnnnnn!

Copeland: So for those of you just watching at home, Cardiff has been added to the USA and Crashin match and according to Chuck Myles, the winner of this match will recieve a special surprise that will be announced later tonight.

Conner: And Excellency has been relased from WZCW.

Cohen: Oh CC nobody cares about Excellency. What matters is that one of these two men will be victorious here tonight.

Copeland: Wanna bet on that Jack.

Cohen: 2 on 1, your on.

"The Star Spangled Banner" by Jimi Hendrix begins playing as USA rushes out to the entrance ramp full of energy. He turns around and salutes the American Flag on the Titan tron before turning around and running into the ring and salutes the fans.

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is an EurAsian League Match, scheduled for one fall!

‘Ten Thousand Fists’ blares out to a brilliant pop as the words SURVIVOR scream out to the crowd, and Rush emerges with a smile on his face as he does his traditional beating of his chest and grabbing of his right forearm with his left hand and raises it above his head in his signature pose before making his way down the ramp.

Harrys: Introducing first, from Windsor, Ontario, Canda, weighing in at 361 pounds, Rush!

Copeland: Rush could quite possibly be in the best position to win the King For A Day spot in the EurAsian League, all he has to do is beat Scott Hammond, a man who’s league performance hasn’t been as good, and he’ll progress through.

Cohen: Fat chance of that happening. In fact, when Hammond wins this, I’m setting up a petition for him to entered into the Chamber!

Connor: Regardless anyhow, Blade and Beckford will be watching this match closely as they have an equal chance at this, providing Rush comes off the losing end.

He heads to the front side of the ring and climbs onto the apron and poses as the song screams TEN THOUSAND FISTS IN THE AIR in a strobe of camera flashes. He enters the ring and throws his T-shirt out to the fans as the bass of 'When I'm Ere' kicks in as Scott Hammond appears from behind the curtain. He stands at the top of the rampway for a moment and gives out a disapproving stare to the crowd. He quickly raises his right hand in the air before he slowly heads down to the ring, keeping his eyes fixated on Rush.

Harrys: Introducing first, from London, England, weighing in at 275 pounds, he is The English Engima, Scott Hammond!

Cohen: Mark my words, Scott Hammond will not finish the league without a victory under his belt!

Copeland: What are your odds for that?

Connor: Gentleman please!

Hammond climbs into the ring and stands in corner, leaning against it while still staring at Rush, he then takes a few paces forward and then runs at Rush who tries to get a big boot in, but Hammond locks on a T-Bone and throws his large opponent across the canvas as the bell sounds. Hammond gets on his knees and starts slamming against the back of Rush’s head who tries to get back to his feet as Hammond wraps his arm around Rush’s head, looking for the DDT but he is lifted up in the air and meets the canvas face first. Rush then grabs Hammonds legs and turns him up as he positions himself between Hammond and the turnbuckle and catapults him into it, he gets back to his feet and crushes Hammond with full pace. He then gets Hammond up and hits a reverse samoan drop, leading into a cover attempt 1……2…..kickout.

Rush gets back up, bringing Hammond up, he tries to go for a suplex, but Hammond blocks it, Rush tries a second attempt, but again it’s blocked and countered with a snap suplex of his own. Rush gets up promptly as Hammond grabs him in a nelson hold and slams Rush into the mat, he stomps on him a couple of times followed by an elbow and goes for a cover 1.…..2….. kickout by Rush. Hammond picks up his opponents and slams him into the corner, climbing onto the second rope and unleashing a few rights but Rush hoists Hammond onto his shoulders and looks for the Rushing Powerbomb, he starts running but Hammond jumps up and hits a DDT under Rush’s momentum taking him down.

Cohen: I tell you, it’s going to happen tonight!

Copeland: Jack getting more cockier than Hammond does on a weekly basis.

Hammond takes a moment to stir before getting back up, he looks at the fallen Rush and at the turnbuckle. He heads over and climbs up and measures the distance and leaps off with a diving headbutt but Rush rolls out of the way and Hammond meets the mat. Rush gets up to his feet and sees how close Hammond is, so he climbs up himself to go for his signature moonsault, but when he gets to the top rope, Blade comes running down onto the apron and tries to distract Rush who’s telling him to get going as does the ref. This allowed Scott Hammond some time as he runs up the ropes and throws Rush off the top with a belly to belly suplex. Both men are down as Blade jumps down off the apron and Hammond slowly crawls over to the fallen Rush. He gets an arm over 1……2…..3. Blade rubs his fists together as he heads back up the ramp with a smirk on his face while Rush and Hammond are flat out on the mat.

Harrys: Here is your winner Scott Hammond!

Copeland: That no good Blade, he had no right being down there. He just distracted Rush, allowing Hammond to get the victory. But regardless, it means that Blade and Beckford are the two with opportunity to get into the Chamber now that Hammond got his only victory in the league.

Cohen: Quit your complaining, Seabass. Blade said he was going to be in control of his destiny, that was a mixture of him doing that along with Rush’s stupidity!

Connor: But as you said Cope, Blade and Beckford have got the best chance of a lifetime now with their match later on tonight, you think Blade is taking this very seriously.

Hammond is finally up as the ref raises his hand in victory, coming to and realising what’s happened as he gets a big smile on his face. Rush is laying on the mat looking annoyed but in disbelief in how close he was to getting to the Chamber. Hammond gets out of the ring and proceeds to walk up back up the aisle.

--------------------------------

We cut backstage to Bateman and Myles in their office, watching what just happened in the match that preceded.

Bateman: I don’t care if it is your league, Blade knew the rules and he should be disqualified

Myles: But as you said Vance, it’s my league and Blade was never directly involved. The match will still take place regardless. Rush shouldn’t have been so incompetent enough to take his mind off the match when he had the opportunity right in front of him. He’s undeserving of any title shot.

Bateman has a ponder

Bateman: Hmm, I think I’ll call you upon that. I’m going to give Rush a chance to compete for any midcard title of his choice, the Elite X belt, the Tag Titles or the EurAsian belt, if that’s ok with you? Naturally, after Kingdom Come!

Myles: What are the terms? And I may allow it.

Bateman: That this match takes place at Kingdom Come. And his opponent will be determined by the Blade/Beckford match. If Blade wins, then Rush faces the loser of the Reynolds/Steel match, but if Beckford wins, Rush gets his chance of revenge against Blade at the same time in competing for this title shot.

Myles: Hmm, you might be on to something. And what happens to either Beckford, Reynolds or Steel pending on their situation? Actually, I got it. Whoever doesn’t get a match from this outcome will be placed into the Mayhem Championship Scramble, last according to my calculations, we should be nearing, or on double figures. I love it when a plan comes together.

Bateman: Alright, Hannibal, let’s get on with the show! It’s the Mayhem Tag Match up next right? My idea.

Myles: …Genius!

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall!

Shinedown hits in the arena, and John Smith comes out and walks down the ramp, taunting some of the nearby fans.

Harrys: Introducing first, from London England, weighing 250 pounds, John Smith!

Smith gets into the ring and waits for his tag partner. Next Devil Inside hits, and Kravinoff comes out onto the entrance ramp. He walks down the ramp, eyeing up Smith.

Cohen: Now this, this right here is a tag team and a half!

Copeland: Well, they'll certainly have the size and strength advantage. But let's see how far that gets them.

Harrys: His tag team partner, from the East African Republic of Uganda, weighing 245 pounds, Hunter S. Kravinoff!

Hail Mary hits and the crowd let out a pop as Baker walks out onto the stage with Malik behind him.

Harrys: And their opponents, first from Compton, California, weighing 232 pounds, James Baker!

Baker walks to the end of the entrance ramp and waits for his tag team partner. We Fly High hits and Mr. Baller comes through the curtain and makes his way down the ramp to join Baker.

Harrys: And his tag team partner, from Miami, Florida, weighing 220 pound, Mr. Baller!

They get into the ring together and they each climb onto a turnbuckle and taunt for the crowd.

Copeland: Four Mayhem title contenders here in this tag match, including the former Mayhem champion James Baker.

Connor: This could have implications for Kingdom Come!

The bell rings and it’s Baller starting off against Kravinoff. They lock up in the centre of the ring and Baller gets the advantage, going behind Kravinoff and taking him down with a waistlock. Kravinoff struggles to get to his feet and manages to break the waistlock but turns around into a dropkick from Baller, which takes him down. Baller follows it up with a standing moonsault and pins Kravinoff, 1... 2... kick out! Baller tags in Baker with a wristlock on Kravinoff, and Baker vaults himself over the top rope and takes down Kravinoff with a clothesline. Baker picks up Kravinoff and nails a snap suplex. Baker picks him up again and delivers a second to Kravinoff. Baker walks around the ring, watching Kravinoff roll around in pain. Baker gets sick of waiting for Kravinoff to get up, and picks him up himself. Baker Irish whips Kravinoff into his own corner and shouts “tag yourself in!” to Smith.

Connor: Looks like Baker is bored of playing with Kravinoff already.

Cohen: Kravinoff is just getting warmed up, give him a few minutes.

Smith leans over the ropes and slaps Kravinoff’s shoulder. Smith gets in the ring and locks up with Baker in the centre of the ring. Baker breaks the tie up and kicks Smith in the gut, going for a quick DDT. But Smith uses his superior strength to lift Baker up and delivers an inverted atomic drop followed by a big clothesline. Smith walks over to Kravinoff and shouts “that’s how it’s done!” at him. But Smith turns around to see Baker coming at him through the air with a diving cross body. Baker goes for the pin, 1... 2... kick out. Baker picks himself up and tags in Baller, who starts delivering stomps to Smith’s head. Baller picks Smith up and tries to Irish whip him, but Smith reverses it and Baller goes running into the corner. Baller uses his agility to hop up onto the second rope and hit a whisper in the wind on Smith. Baller picks Smith up again and delivers a few right hands to the head. But out of nowhere, Smith grabs Baller by the throat and delivers a desperation chokeslam. With both men down, their tag partners shout encouragements. Just as Baller tags in Baker, Smith is able to tag in his partner. Kravinoff runs at Baker, who hits a big clothesline. Kravinoff gets back and is hit with a dropkick. As he tries to get up again, Baker hits a Shining Wizard. Smith, who’s on the apron watching this, shouts “I’ve had enough of this!” and jumps off the apron and makes his way back up the ramp without bothering to look back at his abandoned tag team partner.

Cohen: What a coward, leaving his tag partner to fend for himself. Smith is probably just jealous.

Copeland: I don’t think anyone would be jealous of Kravinoff right now, Cohen.

Kravinoff shakily gets to his feet and sees Smith leaving before turning around and walking into Da Xtreme Knockout. Baker tags Baller in, and Baller drags Kravinoff near to the corner and hits the Buzzerbeater. Baller gets back up and tags Baker in once again. Baker climbs the turnbuckle and hits All Eyez On Me and finally pins Kravinoff, 1... 2... 3.

Harrys: Here are your winners, the team of Mr. Baller and James Baker!

Copeland: Well, I guess you could call that an impressive showing from this duo.

Connor: They were on the same page tonight, but I think it’ll be a different story at Kingdom Come.

Cohen: Which can be said for the tag match up next, Mr. Baller and James Baker team up against Hunter Kravinoff and John Smith prior to the Mayhem Scramble, can they contain their urge for chaos for one night before the big match? Find out and be disappointed in a few minutes!

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is a King for a Day qualifying match.

Headstrong hits the speakers and Reynolds emerges with his arms spread and a confident grin beaming on his face. He points to his Star tattoo and the logos on his ring pants as he struts to the ring.

Harrys: Introducing first, from The West End of London, weighing 190 pounds, Austin Reynolds!

Reynolds gets into the ring and waits for his opponent. Now Meet the Monster hits and the crowd let out a big pop.

Harrys: And his opponent, from Philadelphia, PA, weighing 270 pounds, Trevor Steel!

Steel goes down the ramp quickly and gets into the ring. Reynolds walks over to him and gets in his face, trash talking. The referee calls for the bell and both men start exchanging right hands. Reynolds takes the advantage and backs Steel into the corner. Reynolds goes to keep punching Steel but Steel ducks under one of the right hands and pushes Reynolds into the corner, switching their positions. Steel Irish whips Reynolds into the opposite turnbuckle. The impact makes Reynolds bounce off the corner as he walks right into a Lou Thesz press from Steel, who unleashes a flurry of right hands to Reynolds, as the crowd cheer him on. Steel picks up Reynolds and Irish whips him again. Reynolds reverses it, sending Steel into the ropes. Steel bounds back and hits Reynolds with a clothesline before going for the pin. 1... Kick out by Reynolds, who gets to his knees and quickly backs into the corner while keeping his eyes on Steel.

Copeland: And Steel is off to a great start here, taking it to Reynolds.

Cohen: Neither of these guys deserves a spot, let’s not kid ourselves. Not when there’s guys like Hammond and Blade out there who are much more deserving!

Reynolds hesitates before getting to his feet and coming out of the corner. He locks up with Steel and slaps on a headlock. Steel manages to push Reynolds off and hooks Reynolds’ arms to go for the headbutts. But Reynolds wrenches his arms free and delivers the dropkick to Steel. Steel gets up quickly but he’s met with another dropkick from Reynolds, who then goes for the cover. 1.... kick out! Reynolds gets Steel up and runs into the ropes behind him then comes back with a leg lariat. Reynolds starts stomping on Steel’s midsection and head. Reynolds climbs through the ropes and onto the apron, getting ready for the springboard. Steel gets to his feet, slightly dazed and sees Reynolds flying at him. Out of desperation, Steel hits an uppercut to Reynolds’ throat. Reynolds crashes into the mat and Steel drops to his knees. Both men slowly try to make their way to their feet. Reynolds charges at Steel, going for a clothesline but Steel ducks under it and gets Reynolds from behind with a big German suplex, which bridges into the pin, 1.... 2... kick out by Reynolds. Steel takes a moment to catch his breath before getting to his feet. He watches Reynolds struggle to get up. Reynolds grabs the ropes and uses them to pull himself up as Steel measures him up. Reynolds turns around and Steel tries to go for a side effect. Reynolds elbows his way out and hits a discus lariat out of nowhere as both men collapse to the mat and the referee begins to count.

Connor: These men are going back and forth, they seem to be equally strong!

Cohen: Or equally weak.

At 7, both men get to their feet. Steel throws a right hand and Reynolds throws one back. They exchange punches but Reynolds rolls under one of Steel’s punches, before rolling back and delivering a spinning heel kick. Both men get back up and Reynolds hits a monkey flip. With Steel down, Reynolds crawls over to him for the pin, 1... 2... kick out by Steel. Reynolds picks up Steel and pushes him back into the corner. Reynolds lift Steel up, placing him on the top turnbuckle with difficulty. Reynolds climbs up after him, standing on the top rope where Steel is sitting. Reynolds jumps up to hit the Frankensteiner but Steel catches him and delivers a Powerbomb to him from off the top rope. Both men crash to the mat, with Reynolds taking the full impact of the Powerbomb. Steel drapes an arm across Reynolds to pin him. 1... 2... kick out from Reynolds. Steel sits up and runs his hands through his hair with a look of shock on his face.

Connor: Wow, what does Steel have to do to put Reynolds away!?

Cohen: Obviously more than what he’s doing now.

Steel pulls himself to his feet and delivers a few stomps to Reynolds. Reynolds gets to his hands and knees with Steel still stomping away, trying to stop Reynolds from getting up. From his knees, Reynolds delivers a strike to the abdomen of Steel, who backs off clutching his stomach. Reynolds jumps to his feet and grabs Steel, attempting the Five Star, but Steel ducks behind him and gives Reynolds a kick to the back of the leg, bringing him down to his knees. Steel sees the opportunity and locks in a Dragon Sleeper. Reynolds struggles to get out as quick as possible, but the sleeper is locked in too tight. Steel wrenches back on Reynolds neck as Reynolds starts to lose consciousness. Reynolds goes limp and the referee goes to check on him. He lifts up Reynolds’ arm once and it drops. He lifts Reynolds’ arm again and it drops the second time. But on the third time, Reynolds manages to keep his arm up, as he grasps for a chance to escape. Reynolds gets to his feet, struggling to get out of the sleeper. Steel takes the sleeper off Reynolds and pushes him into the ropes. Reynolds springboards off the ropes and hits an elbow right to Steel’s face, who goes down. Reynolds leans on the ropes, trying to shake off the effects of the sleeper.

Connor: A courageous performance by both men, it could go either way here.

As Steel gets to his feet he turns around into a kick to the gut and Reynolds gets ready for the Ratings Killer. But Steel powers out, delivering a back body drop to Reynolds, who goes crashing to the mat. Reynolds gets back to his feet and Steel picks him up to go for the Michinoku driver, but Reynolds pushes off Steel’s shoulder and drops behind him. Steel turns around, Reynolds hits another kick to Steel’s stomach and this time successfully hits the Styles Clash. Reynolds flips Steel over and pins him, 1... 2... 3!

Harrys: Here is your winner, and one of the participants of the King for a Day match, Austin Reynolds!

Cohen: Reynolds gets in to King for A Day, but looking at who’s in there, I don’t fancy his chances.

Connor: Well Reynolds has just proven that you can never count him out!

Copeland: Well the King for a Day picture is certainly heating up now!

---------------------------------
We're backstage with Becky Serra and Karen Swindle in front of the Megashow logo.

Serra: Ladies and Gentleman, with me at this time is Carmen Bratchny's manager, Karen Swindle. Now Karen I heard that including the Kingdom Come Match, you won't be at ringside tonight either.

Karen: That is correct Becky, this was a personal request from Carmen, given the tension between himself and Ricky as well as Titus and Everest, he thinks the safest thing for me is to be here.

Serra: And how will Carmen focus knowing he's teaming up with the man he's facing at Kingdom Come?

Karen: Well Carmen's a professional and he will look to be keeping this match different to what happens at the pay per view. Naturally I cannot say the same for Ricky, but...

The camera pans back to find Ricky with his rWo colleagues standing behind.

Ricky: Say the same for me? You know Karen, I got you figured, you're a person who likes to motivate people by creating vivid colourful pictures of what they see in their opponent rather than what they get! This can be said for tonight, I will be courteous to Carmen, despite all the trouble he's been putting me through, to prove that our match is the one to watch at Kingdom Come. But to also prove that I'm more of a competitor than you make me out to be and that I'm more of a man than your boy will ever be!

But first, my boys here are going to show why the rWo will be victorious in all our conquests at Kingdom Come. You better be watching because who knows, maybe we'll make things even easier for us than how they're already are!

He turns to his Ace, Dave and Karnage.

Go on boys! Make me proud!

They head off, leaving Becky and Karen to watch on with puzzled expressions.

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is a ten man elimination tag team match!

"Hello" by Brookroyal begins playing as Matt Royale makes his way out. He gets a decent amount of boos sent his way as he walks down to the ring.

Harrys: Introducing first, from St. Louis, Matt Royale!

​

Karnage, Big Dave, and Ace David walk out to a very loud chorus of boos from the crowd. They walk down the aisle, jeering at the crowd. All three slide into the ring and pose to another round of boos.

Harrys: And his tag team partners, representing the rWo, Ace David, Karnage, and Big Dave!

"Broken Soul" by Original Sin hits as Lars makes his way out. He walks slowly down to the ring, not moving his gaze to any of the heckling fans around him. He enters the ring and stands in the corner, not looking at his partners.

Harrys: Finally, from Ragnarog, Lars Reidar!

Cohen: What a team, four of these men clearly will be walking out of Kingdom Come with either a championship or a title shot!

Connor: They are impressive Cohen, but they face a team that's just as impressive tonight.

10's by Pantera begins playing as Killjoy makes his way out with the Mayhem Championship on his shoulder. He makes his way down and slides into the ring and leans in the opposite corner from his opponents.

Harrys: And their opponents, first from His Inner Sanctum, he is the Mayhem Champion, The Killjoy!

"Down With The Sickness" by Disturbed begins as Corey Payne walks out to the ramp. A loud cheer rises up from the crowd as he makes his way down, slapping hands with the fans. He enters the ring and stares down his opponents.

Harrys: And his partners, first from Las Vegas, Nevada, Corey Payne!

"In Too Deep" by Sum 41 begins as Frankie Smith makes his way out with the Elite X title around his waste. He stares down to the ring as he walks down. Upon entering he jumps up onto the second turnbuckle and holds the Elite X title up high.

Harrys: From Dublin, Ireland, he is the Elite X Champion, Frankie Smith!

"Blackened The Sun" by Tech N9ne begins as the lights go dark and a static light begins flashing. Ty Burna and Serafina slowly make their way out to the entrance ramp to loud boos from the crowd. They walk down to the ring and Ty slides in, handing his Ouija scroll to Serafina. He removes his hoodie and tosses it outside, and stares Lars Reidar down intensely.

Harrys: From Parts Unknown, Ty Burna!

​

Showtime David Cougar walks out, the Eurasian Title wrapped around his waist. He walks down with a cocky look on his face, dismissing the fans in the process. He slides into the ring and unstraps his belt, holding it up high to another round of boos from the crowd.

Harrys: And from Winnipeg, Canda, he is the EurAsian Champion, Showtime Cougar!

Copeland: This is sure to be an epic encounter. We have one team with three champions and two KFAD competitors, against 3 contenders and two KFAD competitors.

Cohen: Seabass, this match will prove who should win at Kingdom Come. I have no doubt in my mind. The strong survive, and the weak will be eliminated.

The referee signals for the bell and Matt Royale starts it off for his team. On the other side some dissension brews as who will start. Finally Showtime and Ty shove Killjoy into the ring and take their places outside. Killjoy looks to tie up with Royale but Royale is quick to counter with a shot to the midsection. He whips Killjoy into the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Killjoy ducks and springboards off the ropes and hits a dropkick. He goes for the quick cover and gets a two count. He pulls Royale up and whips him into the ropes and goes for a spinning wheel kick at the same time Royale goes for a spear. The two men end up colliding heads and both collapse to the ground, both have an arm over the other. The ref hesitates for a second, before counting the three for a double pinfall.

Cohen: What just happened?!?

Connor: It appears both men knocked each other out when they collided and ended up eliminating each other.

Cohen: Idiots, it's all that fool Killjoy's fault. Now Royale doesn't have the opportunity to prove himself worthy of the King For A Day status.

Killjoy slowly gets to his feet and realizes what happens. He rolls out of the ring and makes his way to the back. Royale meanwhile remains on the mat before slowly rolling out of the ring and starts walking back, wobbling very badly. Meanwhile Ty Burna enters the ring as does Ace David. Ace quickly goes for a flying forearm smash but Ty ducks and Ace crashes into the mat. Ty picks him up and whips him into the corner. He follows up with a running splash, collapsing Ace against the corner. Ty goes to work with fists in the corner before pulling him from the corner. He whips him into the ropes and then connects with a devastating bicycle kick. He drags Ace to the corner and Showtime tags in. Ty lifts Ace up and both he and Showtime whip him into the ropes and drops him with a clothesline and leg drop combination.

Copeland: I think we've seen it all now. Ty Burna and Showtime Cougar just worked together in a tag team match.

Cohen: What choice do they have Seabass? They face an united front in the rWo and a dangerous man in Lars Reidar.

Showtime picks Ace up and whips him into the corner. He lifts him up onto the turnbuckle and connects with "The Final Act"! He covers Ace as Big Dave tries to save him but Ty intercepts him. The ref makes the three count and Ace David is eliminated. Ty and Dave get separated from the refs and are forced back to their respective corners. Showtime tags Ty back in as Corey Payne gets a frustrated look on his face. Lars Reidar suddenly enters the ring and a buzz can be heard throughout the arena.

Connor: We've wanted to see these two men face off for so long. We finally get a preview before they battle in the KFAD Elimination Chamber!

Cohen: They're going to lock these two freaks in a cage and let them destroy each other? Now that's quality entertainment!

Lars and Ty slowly walk to the middle of the ring, trash talking one another. Suddenly they break down and start throwing bombs at one another and Lars takes control. He whips Ty into the ropes and drops him with a sitout spinebuster. He stomps away at Ty before dragging him up and lifting him up for a shoulderbreaker. Ty comes crashing down across Lars' shoulder, wincing in pain as he does. Lars goes for the cover but only gets a two count. He drags Ty up again and whips him into the corner. He rushes Ty but Ty gets a boot up and kicks Lars back. Lars turns around and gets hit with a running high knee. Ty quickly follows it up with a running knee drop across the throat of Lars and then drags him into his corner. He looks to Payne who suddenly starts jawing at Ty. Ty stares him down before slapping him right in the face, the ref counts it as a tag and Payne enters the match rubbing the right side of his face.

Connor: What was the point in that? Ty's been working well with Showtime Cougar, yet he can't work with Corey Payne?

Cohen: Who's a threat to him now CC? Showtime and him have nothing to go to war with each other right now, and Payne is one of Ty's opponents in the KFAD. I mean how much simpler can it get for you?

Payne goes to work on Lars and connects with a few stomps before pulling him up. He knees him in the gut before connecting with a spinning backfist, knocking Lars down. He goes for the pin, but only gets a two count. Payne again drags Lars up but Lars surprises him with a knee of his own followed by a Big Boot. Lars falls to one knee before standing once more and stomping away at Payne. He walks over to his corner and tags in Karnage. Karnage enters and waits for Payne to get up. As Payne gets to his feet, he suddenly gets hit with a huge spear from Karnage! Karnage goes for the cover, but only gets a two count. He pulls Payne up and hits a headbutt followed by a belly to back suplex. He tags in Lars once more and Lars enters the ring, dropping an elbow across the chest of Payne.

Copeland: Payne needs to tag one of his partners in quickly. He's getting beat down badly by the rWo and Lars.

Cohen: He's an MMA fighter, not a wrestler. He doesn't know the meaning of tagging in. He'll be destroyed here shortly if he doesn't figure it out.

Lars picks Payne up and lifts him up and connects with a power slam. Payne lands awkwardly on his leg and suddenly grabs at his thigh wincing in pain. Lars goes for the cover but only gets a two count. The crowd starts getting behind Payne as Lars applies a rear chinlock. Payne starts to fade as the ref checks him, but he suddenly gets to one knee. He elbows Lars in the midsection and then gets to his feet. He punches Lars and suddenly hits a roundhouse kick, knocking Lars down while Payne drops as well. Both men begin crawling to their corners, Payne reaches out to tag in Ty, but Ty suddenly pulls his hand away. Payne pulls himself to his feet and limps to the corner, jawing away at Ty again. Ty suddenly connects with a right hook that knocks Payne backwards, and gets lifted up by Lars and dropped with the "Sacrilegious Desecration". He covers Payne, and gets the three count.

Connor: And just like that, Payne is eliminated from this match. I thought Ty said he wanted to win this match, not sabotage it.

Cohen: He's eliminating the weak CC, and it looks like Payne is now injured as well. He wants to win this match, but also wants to increase his odds of winning in the KFAD match.

Payne is kicked out of the ring by Lars, and Payne staggers to his feet and begins limping to the back, but turns around and points at Ty and then heads to the back. Frankie Smith enters the ring as Lars tags Big Dave in. Dave and Frankie lock up in the middle of the ring and Dave takes control, whipping him into the ropes and connecting with a power slam. He kneels up and stares down Showtime, before dragging Frankie up and hitting a dragon whip, sending Frankie sprawling across the mat. Dave gets up slowly and walks over to Showtime, trash talking him before turning around and hitting a clothesline on Frankie. Dave lifts Frankie up again but Frankie counters quickly with a wrist clutch exploder. Dave crawls to the corner and lays against the bottom turnbuckle, but quickly gets caught by an Ole kick by Frankie. He picks Dave up and whips him into the ropes, ducking a clothesline from Dave and connects with a neckbreaker. Frankie goes for the pin but only gets a two count.

Copeland: Frankie has taken control over Dave, Showtime does not look very comfortable in the corner however.

Cohen: That coward Showtime will run from this match at any moment. He wants nothing to do with Big Dave.

Frankie lifts Dave up to his feet and then onto his shoulders for a samoan drop. Dave floats over and suddenly lifts Frankie up and connects with the "Stamp of Authority". At that moment Showtime drops from the turnbuckle and grabs his Eurasian title and begins walking to the entrance ramp. Ty quickly follows him and grabs him. The two begin arguing as Big Dave looks on from the ring. Showtime begins shoving Ty and Ty returns the favor. Big Dave suddenly bounces off the ropes and comes flying over the top rope. Ty looks up and quickly shoves Showtime out of the way. Dave crashes into Ty and both men hit the floor hard. Showtime grabs Dave and begins punching away at him. Meanwhile Karnage enters the ring and waits for Frankie to get up, and hits him with a spear. Lars has dropped to the ground and grabs Ty, tossing him into the ring. Showtime pulls Dave up and tries whipping him into the steel steps, but Dave reverses it and sends Showtime crashing shoulder first into them. Karnage grabs Frankie and throws him over the top rope to the floor below and falls him out there, tossing him onto the announce table.

Connor: This match has broken down! The ref has no control anymore.

Cohen: It was bound to happen Double C, there's no way these men could keep their composure long enough in a standard match.

Copeland: We have Karnage and Frankie fighting right on top of our announce table!

In the ring, Lars whips Ty into the ropes and lifts him up and hits a powerslam. By this point the ref has signaled for the bell. Dave and Showtime on the outside continue to brawl, and Dave is sent into the turnbuckle post. Karnage and Frankie are trading bombs on the announcer's table, Frankie suddenly lifts Karnage up and drops him with "The Final Message", breaking the announcer's table and both men collapse on the ground. Showtime throws Dave into the ring as Ty starts coming back against Lars. Showtime attacks Lars from behind as Ty hits a bicycle kick on Dave as he rises. Lars suddenly hits Showtime with a backbreaker drop, dropping him to the ground. Ty turns around and begins brawling with Lars again, only for Lars to hit a roundhouse kick, knocking Ty back. Dave is to his feet as is Showtime. Lars and Dave whip Ty and Showtime respectively into the ropes but both reverse it as Lars and Dave hang onto the ropes. Ty and Showtime quickly run up and both hit clotheslines, knocking Lars and Dave to the floor. Showtime raises his arms up as Ty leans against the ropes pointing at the retreating Lars Reidar and Big Dave. Ty suddenly turns around and he and Showtime begin staring each other down, jawing at one another.

Harrys: The referee has called this match a no contest!

Cohen: Look at the destruction around the ring. If this was supposed to be a preview of Kingdom Come, I can't wait!

Connor: In the KFAD match there will be at least an elimination chamber to house the chaos. And with the likes of Ty Burna and Lars Reidar involved, that's going to be a wild match!

Copeland: No doubt about it. And from what we've seen here tonight, the Elite X and Eurasian Championship matches will be hotly contested as well.

---------------------------
We cut backstage to a worn down Big Dave coming through the curtain panting looking frustrated at what just happened. Out of nowhere an EMT runs up to him.

EMT: Mr. Dave, you need to come with us, it's Ace.

Dave: What about Ace? Where is he?

EMT: He's in an ambulance on the way to the nearby hospital. I don't know if you saw, but after he was pinned, he was just laying on the outside of the ring, not moving at all. We got him out of there as quickly as we could but they think it might be his neck after taking The Final Act. You need to get down there as quick as possible, he looked in real bad shame.

Dave has a blank shocked stare on his face before taking a few paces and then running straight to the carpark.

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is an EurAsian League Match scheduled for one fall! As the result of the earlier match tonight, the winner of this match will be entered into the King For A Day Elimination Chamber at Kingdom Come!

‘Bliss’ bursts throughout the arena to a massive hearing of boos as dark red lights start to flash. Blade walks out on to the stage, looking over his shoulder with a steel chair in hand as he storms down the ramp, he gets inside the ring.

Harrys: Introducing first, from Dublin, Ireland, weighing in at 235 pounds, Blade!

Copeland: Well Blade managed to get this match to be the one with the odds back in his favour. Quite surprised that still stood given Blade’s actions.

Cohen: Will you quit whining? Is this because he didn’t turn out to be an rWo member?

Copeland: Purely speculation there.

Connor: But surely Blade is not as favoured to win as he lost to Rush and Beckford beat him?

Cohen: But they both beat Hammond and lost to Big Dave, enough said!

“Enya Stomp” plays as Chris Beckford appear at the top of the stage, he spreads his arms out as he bolts down to the ring and slides in. He’s quickly on his feet again before jumping onto the bottom left turnbuckle. He spreads his arms again and does a backflip off of it.

Harrys: His opponent, from Leeds, England, weighing in at 226 pounds, Chris Beckford!

Cohen: And he will be in the Mayhem Title match after this one is done while Blade can sit safely inside his Chamber pod.

Connor: Despite it being random selection?

Copeland: And the fact that the pods do open after five minute intervals?

Cohen: …You didn’t let me finish, I said…let’s get it on!

The bell sounds as both men pace around the ring in a circle before Beckford hits a dropkick on Blade and both are back up quickly where Blade hits a clothesline. Both men are vertical again as Blade goes for an enziguri but Beckford dodges it, bounces off the ropes and hits a hurricanrana that makes Blade fall onto the second ropes. Beckford gets up onto the apron and hits a dropsault onto Blade’s face and lands on his feed on the outside to the cheer of the crowd. He slides inside and looks to get Blade off guard but is caught by a 180 spinebuster and an early pin attempt by Blade 1….2…kickout by Beckford. Blade then goes for a second pin cover 1…….2… and a third 1……..2…kickout. Blade gets up and takes Beckford up with him and goes for the irish whip, he picks up Beckford in a side slam but Beckford quickly slides out and gets a neckbreaker in.

Beckford then bursts to the turnbuckle, signalling for the Cross County as he climbs up but Blade is back up to his feet and leans on the ropes which crotches Beckford on the top of the turnbuckle. Blade then climbs up to join him and hits a few rights before getting him out of the awkward position and hits a powerslam from the top. Blade is slow to get a pin cover and only hooks one leg, 1…..2… kickout by Beckford. Blade is up to his feet first as Beckford is still flat on the mat, the Zero Hunter goes to lock in the Texas Cloverleaf which has Beckford yelling and screaming out in pain as Blade shouts “tap” while keeping an intense hold on his opponent.

Copeland: Has Beckford’s journey come this far only to end here in submission?

Cohen: Beckford, tap out now if you want a chance of being fit for the Mayhem Scramble!

Connor: The pain must be excruciating, I can’t imagine what it must be like for Beckford. And doing this will eliminate the Cross County as a possible threat.

Beckford has his face flat against the mat as he must be getting worn down from the pain, he looks up and tries to crawl to the near ropes but they seem so far away. He edges closer and closer despite being in so much pain, with one last might he reaches out and gets a hold of the ropes as the ref tells Blade to relinquish the hold. Beckford holds on to his knee and rolls to sit down on the apron for a chance to recover, but Blade runs and hits a baseball slide which makes Beckford fly into the barricade. Blade rolls out and lifts up Beckford to drop him on the same spot he landed on.

Blade argues with the ref for a moment to back off but gets Beckford back up again and drags him to the steel steps, he tries to slam Beckford’s head into them but he places his hands firmly down before elbowing Blade in the face and then slamming it into the steps which gets Blade dazed for a while. Beckford quickly slides in and lays on the mat for a moment while Blade recomposes himself, when he does he climbs onto the apron and goes between the ropes where Beckford grabs him and hits a roll up 1……2……3.

Harrys: Here is your winner and the final King For A Day participant, Chris Beckford!

Beckford falls out of the ring and lays face first on the floor with a smile on his face as the referee goes to check on him while Blade sits in the ring with a shock look on his face and holds his head in disguise and slams the mat profusely.

Copeland: Blade had dominated this encounter but Beckford used his speed and agility to his advantage and is going to Kingdom Come!

Connor: And that means Rush will get Blade in revenge for earlier. This is hotting up to be one Kingdom Come to remember.

Cohen: No it’s not!

Copeland: So to confirm who’s in the Chamber, it’s Matt Royale, Corey Payne, Ty Burna, Lars Reidar, Austin Reynolds and now Chris Beckford. All six men will be looking to…oh wait a minute. Something’s going on backstage.

---------------------------

We cut backstage to Chuck Myles walking through the corridor with some security men, walking past a few locker rooms, he gets to one door which reads ‘Matt Royale’ on a gold plate, he opens the door without knocking to find Matt Royale sitting in the locker room talking to his advisor.

Royale: Mr. Myles, I’m glad you’re here, I wish to make a complain about…

Myles: The complaint is no longer viable! Your performance in the Elimination Tag was abysmal and to add further insult to injury, I hear you’re trying to scam the tech crew out of their hard earn money with some Black Market Poker, no wonder royalty gets such a bad press because they’re nothing more than crooks!

Royale: But, Mr. Myles…

Myles: Save it Matt, I’ve had enough of it! As of right now, your WZCW contract is hereby terminated!

Royale: But what about my King Fo…

Myles: Bateman and I have already taken care of it. You know that triple threat match that occurred earlier tonight where I promised a surprise? That was for your King For A Day spot. So as of right now, you’re out of that match and the WZCW and USA is in your place. Security, please remove this man from my building.

The security guards grab hold of Royale and drag him off out of the corridor while he screams out begging Myles to give him his job back. Myles stands watching before noticing the advisor is still there.

Myles: You might want to join him…

The advisor doesn’t say a word and scrams off out of sight.

Copeland: In case you just missed it ladies and gentleman, USA is now in the King For A Day Elimination Chamber match and Matt Royale has been fired from the WZCW. So if you’re looking for a surprise, this is it. Royale is gone and USA is in the Chamber, joining Corey Payne, Ty Burna, Lars Reidar, Austin Reynolds and Chris Beckford. This Megashow has got me pumped up even more for Kingdom Come.

Connor: Much like it has gotten me excited! But will there be more surprises to come as up next we have the six pack challenge up next? Heavy Artillery have a chance to join Second Coming in the challenge for tag team gold. How do they do that? Either Jordan Lights or Max Karzai must pin William Teach or Steven Kurtesy and they’re added to Kingdom Come.

Cohen: It’s not going to happen, providing that either team is smart enough to lay down for a pin by his own partner in this match without any side effects, then the dream will end in just a few minutes.

Copeland: And that is up, next!

 

[Phoenix]

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a stipulation. If either member of Heavy Artillery pins one of the tag team champions, then they will join Second Coming and Teach N’ Kurtesy in the tag team title match at Kingdom Come!
*
Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas hits and the arena lets out a pop. The orange lights flicker throughout the arena as Karzai and Lights come out onto the entrance ramp.

Harrys: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 458 pounds, Max Karzai and Jordon Lights!

Copeland: Heavy Artillery coming out together for this six man one pinfall match.

Cohen: The rules are not in their favour Seabass. They have to pin the tag team champs to advance to the tag title match. And the worse part for them is this is a 6 way match, not a tag match, so anybody can pin anybody.
Copeland: Still Jack, Heavy Artillery are determined to over come the odds. And they appear to be the most focused team heading into this match.*

They hold their fists in the air, and go down the entrance ramp and slide into the ring. They go to opposite corners and taunt for the crowd. East Jesus Nowhere hits, and after a few seconds, Garth Black and Phoenix appear on the stage. They talk momentarily, before they both pose with their arms spread and feet together. They then walk down the ramp and into the ring.

Harrys: First their opponents, at a combined weight of 381 pounds, Garth Black and Phoenix!

“Slither” starts playing throughout the arena as the crowd get into an uproar to see William Teach and Steve Kurtesy enter onto the stage with their arms raised in the air as the bell rings.

Harrys: and their opponents, at a combined weight of 471 pounds, they are the WZCW tag team champions, Dr. Steven Kurtesy and William Teach!

Cohen: The tag team champs look poised to keep Kingdom Come a two team match.
Conner: Let’s hope Heavy Artillery changes that.

The bell rings. Teach nods at Kurtesy and quickly lies down. Kurtesy jumps on him for the cover. 1... 2..., Karzai and Lights stomp on Kurtesy and eventually kick him outside the ring. Garth and Phoenix with forearms from behind. They each grab a member of Heavy Artillery and Irish whip them off the ropes and clothesline them over. They stare at Heavy Artillery as Teach casually puts his arms around Second Coming as if the four of them are teaming up. Garth and Phoenix glare at Teach and start taking turns throwing punches at him. Teach is dazed as Second Coming hit a spinning heel kick and back heel trip combo. Phoenix jumps onto the apron and Garth grabs Teach’s legs. He falls backwards sending Teach into Phoenix who forearms him back down on Garth’s knees. Phoenix jumps and hits a leg drop on Teach. Garth goes for a cover. 1... 2..., Teach kicks out. Phoenix sees Lights on the apron and forearms him back to the concrete. Phoenix follows as Garth heads outside the ring to Karzai. Teach lies on the mat and Kurtesy quickly slides into the ring. He goes for the cover. 1... 2..., Karzai runs in with a forearm. Karzai starts hitting Kurtesy with some forearms and clotheslines Kurtesy and himself over the ropes. Garth slides in the ring and goes to pick Teach up. Teach quickly small packages him for a cover getting a 2 count.

Conner: Interesting strategies by both teams so far. Haven’t seen much of an alliance at all between Teach N’ Kurtesy and Second Coming.
Cohen: No but Teach N’ Kurtesy’s strategy is clear. One pins the other and Heavy Artillery is out of the match at Kingdom Come.

Teach and Garth on their feet, Teach with a few quick punches on Garth. He goes to Irish Whip him and instead hits a knee to the gut followed by a DDT. Meanwhile, Phoenix and Lights have been trading punches on the outside. Phoenix goes to smash Lights head on the table. Lights blocks and smashes Phoenix’s head on the table and follows with a clothesline. Karzai has been punching Kurtesy. Karzai runs from behind and bulldogs Kurtesy. Teach picks Garth up inside the ring. He hits him with a backbreaker on his knee. Teach goes for the pin, but only gets a 2 count. Karzai and Lights in the ring now. Wait for Teach to turnaround and they hit with a double dropkick. Teach down, Heavy Artillery pick him up, Irish Whip him and hits a double clothesline sending him over the ropes. Heavy Artillery turn their attention to Garth. Lights has him in a powerbomb position, looking to hit Smoldering Light. Phoenix in and knocks Karzai with a clothesline. Garth suddenly pushes forward and he and Lights fall through the ropes. Phoenix picks up Karzai. Sitout Facebuster connects. Phoenix picks him up and Irish whips him, Karzai reverses. Phoenix off the ropes, runs into a shuffle kick by Karzai. Phoenix now against the ropes, Karzai with some forearm shots. Kurtesy enters the ring and flips both men from behind over the ropes. Kurtesy yells at Teach to get in the ring and Teach slides in. Kurtesy applies the weakest looking ankle lock and Teach taps out quickly. The bell rings, but then “Falling On “ by Finger Eleven hits and Chuck Myles is on the stage.

Myles: Now I must imagine that my colleague Bateman must’ve thought up this match, but your guys fun ends now. If either of you guys pull that shit just once more in this match, I’ll not only strip your guys titles, but remove you from the match all together. Now restart the match.

Kurtesy and Teach look sad but then Lights and Garth both enter the ring and attack Teach and Kurtesy. Lights throws Teach off the ropes and hits him with a sidewalk slam. Lights goes for a cover as Garth picks Kurtesy up and hits a Sitout rear mat slam. 1... 2..., kickout by Teach. Garth goes the cover on Kurtesy. 1... 2... Kurtesy kicks out. Lights with a roll up on Teach. Another 2 count. Garth trips Kurtesy and pins him. 1... 2... kickout by Kurtesy. Crowd applauds as Garth and Lights look at each other and start trading fists. Lights hits a European uppercut on Garth. He Irish Whips Garth across the ring. Lights goes for a big boot, Garth ducks it. Garth springboards off the ropes and hits Lights with the Black Hole. Karzai enters the ring and hits a Full Nelson on Garth. Phoenix from behind on Karzai, hits him a full nelson bulldog, Incinerator. Karzai rolls outside the ring. Phoenix sees Teach on the apron and runs and pushes him off the apron. Phoenix turns around and Kurtesy is up. Low shuffle kick to the gut by Kurtesy connects. He grabs Phoenix and slides him under the ropes to the concrete. Lights on the top rope, goes for a cross body. Kurtesy dodges it and Lights lands on the mat. Kurtesy picks Lights up by the leg and gives him a dragon screw. Lights rolls outside the ring and Garth and Kurtesy and now alone in the ring. Garth up and Kurtesy grabs him by the throat. Shock Method! Kurtesy stands up, but Karzai spears him and they roll outside the ring. Phoenix slides in the ring and crawls to cover Garth. 1... 2... Garth kicks out.

Cohen: What was Garth thinking? This match and Heavy Artillery’s dreams would’ve been over.
Copeland: Perhaps it was instinctive Jack?
Conner: Phoenix appears furious over Garth kicking out.

Inside the ring Phoenix is yelling at Garth. Garth talks back. Phoenix pushes Garth and Garth pushes back. They start throwing fists and Garth has Phoenix against the ropes. Garth with a crossbody sends both of them over. Phoenix and Garth continue to fight outside the ring as Kurtesy stand on the apron and questions them. Meanwhile Heavy Artillery Irish whip Teach over the guardrail and slide in the ring. Kurtesy turns around and Heavy Artillery hook him and hit a double suplex into the ring on him. Karzai covers Kurtesy with Lights on top of him. 1... 2... 3.

Harrys: Here are your winners, Max Karzai and Jordon Lights.

Copeland: What and exciting finish, and what about Second Comings meltdown.
Cohen: This is outrageous. Garth choice single glory over his teams chances and Kingdom Come. Now three teams compete for the gold.
Conner: Eat your words Jack. Heavy Artillery are going to Kingdom Come. It should be explosive.

Lights and Karzai celebrate in the ring as Second Coming realize what has happened. Second Coming stare at Heavy Artillery and nod their heads and motion that the title will be theirs. Kurtesy rolls outside the ring and Teach meets him bring their belts. They stand against the wall and hold their belts high as they go to commercial.

Harrys: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!

‘…To Be Loved’ starts playing to a huge ovation as Carmen Bratchny runs down the aisle. He proceeds to do his usual lap around the ring giving low fives to the fans before sliding into the ring

Harrys: Introducing first, from Moscow, Russia, weighing in at 230 pounds, Carmen Bratchny!

Copeland: First out is a man who will no doubt be a favourite to take Ricky’s True World Title away at Kingdom Come

Connor: That is true Seabass, but will they co-exist tonight?

Cohen: You both kidding? Ricky’s going to get a number done on him so he can’t even get to Kingdom Come!

​

Harrys: His partner, representing the rWo, from Tortuga, weighing in at 260 pounds, he is the True World Heavyweight Champion, Steamboat Ricky!

Ricky comes out to a large outburst of boos as he raises his championship belt high in the air and makes his way down to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and does his usual run around the ring. He looks at Bratchny and points at him with some trash talk, Bratchny tries to answer back but Ricky waves him aside as they await their opponents.

A massive pop erupts as Titus comes out to the stage. In response, he points the crowd to his left to cheers and then follows it with a point to the right, followed by cheers.

Harrys: Their opponents, first, from Keystone City, Kansas, weighing in at 215 pounds, Titus!

He walks down the ramp and does a lap round the ring giving high fives to the fans. He walks up the steps and climbs the turn-buckle to give a thumbs up and sits waiting for his partner to come down and even the odds.

Cohen: Much like Bratchny, Titus isn’t going to make it to Kingdom Come if he turns his back for one second on Everest, especially after their war of words that opened the show.

Connor: I wouldn’t be so certain, Jack. You know there would be some serious consequences if they both can’t co-exist after Myles and Bateman gave their final words of warning regarding this match.

Orange laser lights shoot back and forth across the blank big screen that then flashes the words “Are you Ready to Go”. The arena goes dark for a few seconds until the lights return with the World Heavyweight Champion standing in middle of the stage.

Harrys: His partner, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 205 pounds, he is the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Everest!

Everest makes his way down the ring with a pace of attitude and doesn’t acknowledge Titus as he slides into the ring and raises his title belt high in the air. He then goes right up into Ricky’s face before giving the referee his belt and then snatching Ricky’s title and proceeding to throw it on the floor which is met with immediate right hands from Ricky as the belt sounds as Bratchny and Titus climb out onto the apron to watch their opponents at Kingdom Come go at it.

Ricky hits out his rights, on Everest in the corner, he backs away and gives a taunt out before going for a clothesline, of which is ducked by Everest who hits rights of his own and then some kicks to the gut which drops Steel down in the corner before the ref starts counting on him, so he ceases. But then rushes back to the corner and starts stomping out on Ricky, causing the ref to pull him back as Titus calls out to not get disqualified and reaches out for a tag but Everest stands staring at him before getting Ricky back on his feet and forcing him into the turnbuckle face first. Everest then throws Ricky backwards to the mat, he sits up and then gets a mouthful of Everest’s boot to take him down, followed by a cover 1…..2… kickout by Ricky.

Everest gets up to his feet and stares at Ricky for a moment before turning around to face Titus, he points at him saying that’s what’s going to happen at Kingdom Come, but Titus quickly taps Everest’s hand and the referee calls the tag to a massive ovation as Titus climbs in and hits a knee drop on Ricky, going for the immediate cover but Everest is still arguing with the ref over the tag causing Titus to get up to intervene and eventually Everest gets out onto the apron, Titus goes back to Ricky who catches him in a cradle 1…..2…..kickout by Titus.

Copeland: Ricky needs to make the tag, he has a chance with Everest and Titus not co-operating smoothly as we hoped!

Connor: But even so, Ricky has taken a bit of a beating here.

Cohen: Nonsense, Ricky’s got them where he wants them, he’ll tag when he wants to tag!

Ricky uses the ropes to get up as Titus paces side to side behind him, once Ricky is up and around, he’s face to face with Titus. Ricky goes for a quick right but Titus ducks out of the way and Ricky runs into his corner to tag Bratchny in, rolling out of the ring. Bratchny climbs into the ring as both him and Titus stand in the centre with the crowd chanting their names, they have a chat in the middle, both nodding and knocking fists together before they lock up in the middle. Titus powers into a headlock before Bratchny shoves him off and runs at him but Titus is quick to evade and hits a bulldog on his opponent for tonight. Bratchny is on his feet again quickly to catch Titus in a sidewalk slam on a second bulldog attempt.

Bratchny then looks at the turnbuckle with a smile and shouts “Red Comet!” to which the crowd cheers and boos in a mixed reaction, he heads over to climb the turnbuckle but Ricky quickly moves over and blind tags himself back in which makes Bratchny slightly frustrated as he climbs down from the turnbuckle. Ricky doesn’t go for Titus but turns around and whacks a right Bratchny who holds onto the ropes and is quick to grab Ricky’s hair slamming him into the mat. He gets in as does Everest who stands poised behind Titus, Titus turns as Everest goes for a spinning heel kick which misses and hits Bratchny instead, taking him off his vertical basis.

Ricky gets up to his feet as Titus kicks him in the gut and runs at the ropes, looking for the Tit Drop but Everest is quick to hit The Rock Slide on Ricky which Titus watches before standing face to face with Everest as Ricky lays on the apron before Bratchny hits a baseball slide to knock him off. Bratchny then runs at the ropes and leaps through the second ropes to meet a steel chair that Ricky grabbed from under the ring. Ricky continues his onslaught as the referees try to separate him and Bratchny. Meanwhile, Titus and Everest haven’t budged from their stare down, neither is giving into the other or looking for an early strike.

Copeland: The match appears to be over, but that’s not the story here!

Connor: Where Ricky and Bratchny couldn’t keep their personal differences aside, Everest and Titus are just waiting to get it on.

Cohen: You could cut the tension with a knife. I want them to get going with this match right now!

Copeland: But that will have to wait Jack. Well it’s been an amazing show in France, but our next stop is London, England for Kingdom Come, the showcase of the immortals! Who will walk out of the Main Event as World Heavyweight Champion? Find out then. Ladies and Gentleman, I am Seabastian Copeland, alongside Jack Cohen and Cat Connor, goodnight and see you at Kingdom Come!

The Megashow fades out on Everest and Titus in their lockdown in the middle of the ring.
