ANARCHY IN THE UK
PRE-SHOW
WELCOME TO FIW MATCH
Standard FIW Rules
Vi vs. Tabitha Brinkley
Referee: Mark Deveraux[/align]
JH: "Welcome to the Anarchy in the U.K. pre-show, ladies and gentlemen! I'm Jonathan Hitchen, this is Chip Martin, and we're about to enjoy a bonus of your subscription to the FIW Network; a match between newcomer Tabitha Brinkley and Vi!"
CM: "Vi freaks me out these days.... but Brinkley scares the SHIT out of me."
JH: "Bring back bad memories of bitter exes, Chip?"
CM: "You have NO idea."
Vi starts out the contest by pointing to her chest and announcing loudly "I'm Vi," for clarification. Tabitha responds by slapping the taste out of her mouth! This starts one hell of a strike war before Vi puts her size behind her, taking both of them to the mat! Her hard punches start to put the screws to Brinkley, but Tabitha comes back with both thumbs to her eyes! Devereaux separates them and reprimands Brinkley, but she shoves him off and launches for Vi again! Her ruthless assault continues for some time until Vi manages to put some space between them with a hip toss, and once Tabitha is back to her feet, Vi is more than prepared to deliver the Punchline! Brinkley goes down, and Vi picks up the pinfall with a three count!
JH: "Well, score one for the... uh... less lawless tonight! Something you can feel good about!"
CM: "No, WRONG, Hitchen. It's WORSE now. Now Tabitha's mad. DON'T LOOK AT HER! She might come over here!"
I believe in anarchy
Let's see you pogo!
GO!
I'm not ashamed of being a Punk
And I don't care, I don't give a damn
And I don't care what you say
Cause I believe in anarchy!
I I I I I'm not afraid
And I I I I I'm not ashamed
Cause I still believe in anarchy!
An extra-bombastic red, blue, and white pyrotechnic display EXPLODES through the Principality Stadium as we swing past the crowd, get some great panning shots, and finally settle on the commentary table where Jonathan Hitchen and Chip Martin are both poised and ready to call tonight's event!
JH: "We've got a lot of my fellow countrymen here in Cardiff, Wales! It's May 20th, 2016 and THIS is ANARCHY! IN THE U!K! I'm Jonathan Hitchen, and we are so honored to be joining you tonight!"
CM: "I'm Chip Martin, and I'm pretty sure at least 85% of the crowd here is drunk tonight, Hitchen. This pay-per-view could be a shitshow and they'd still go home happy. Lucky for them we've got a GREAT card tonight!."
OPENING CONTEST
FIGHTING SPIRIT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
ANARCHY RULES!!!
[size0]10-Man Hardcore Over-The-Top-Rope Elimination Battle Royal[/size]
Kursur vs. Xander Xavier Xross vs. "The Celtic War Beast" Gustav David Richlen vs. Logan Krueger vs. Nick Riot vs. Quincy Wilson vs. Katsu Shun vs. Kira Izumi vs. Black Tom vs. Juggalethal
Referees: Mark Deveraux & "Danger" Mark Fisher[/align]
QT: The following contest is the Anarchy Rules 10-Man Hardcore Over-The-Top-Rope Elimination Battle Royal for the FIW FIGHTING SPIRIT CHAMPIONSHIP!
A slew of FIW superstars and participants in this match are already in the ring, seven in total including Kira Izumi, Black Tom, Nick Riot and the defending Fighting Spirit Champion Kursur. Each participant has brought the lumber with them, as evidenced by Nick Riot holding his trusty steel chair and Katsu Shun has tonfa sticks hes twirling around in his hands to intimidate the other Fighting Spirit hopefuls. The lights go out in the arena as a green light faintly shines from under the ramp and Sinead O'Connor's voice is heard:
Referee: Richard Kelly[/align]
The guitar chords filter through the speakers and drench the arena in darkness, followed by a smattering of drums that light the stage up with blinding white strobes. The lights level out as Caleb Claudel and Harley Torres burst through the curtain. Harley is a ball of energy, pumping up the crowd while bouncing from side to side of the stage. Caleb steps out with a smile on his face, pointing out fans along the way. Harley meets Caleb at the top of the ramp and both lower their heads with their eyes to the ground, drawing attention to the Shark eyes on their hoodies that catch the ring in their sights. They both pop up with Harley quick-firing with a finger gun before they sprint for the ring.
QT: "Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for ONE fall, and is for the FIW Tag-Team Championships! Introducing first; making their way to the ring at a combined weight of 340 lbs your FIW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS HARLEY TORRES and CALEB CLAUDEL THE BRICK SHARKS!"
They dive in under the bottom rope in unison and Harley slides clear across the ring popping up to his feet while Caleb slides up to one knee. Harley points out two corners and throws himself into one, springing up to the middle turnbuckle and pumping a fist excitedly. Caleb climbs the other turnbuckle with a dazzling grin, pointing down at some of the most excitable fans. The two men retire to a respective corner where they get in some last minute strategizing about their opponents.
JH: "The Brick Sharks are strong favorites in this contest, Chip. Despite their best efforts, Helena Handbasket and Stephen Eversol just can't seem to get on the same page."
CM: "Don't you worry about them, Hitchen. They've got Kim Coulter in their corner! She'll put 'em on the right page! She has a way of having her clients win. That's why they call her Big Match Kim!"
JH: "Please don't make that a thing."
Referee: "Danger" Mark Fisher[/align]
QT: "Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the UNIVERSAL INTERGALACTIC CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, one of the TWO challengers; already in the ring and being accompanied by Kim Coulter and Stephen Eversol NATHANIELLLLL ALEXXXANDERRRRRRR!!!"
JH: "Alexander just took a nasty kick to the skull from Caleb Claudel, not to mention the rest of the match. You have to wonder how much he has left in the tank for this contest, Chip."
The rapid drum beat brings the arena to life with alternating green, blue, and white strobes. Johnny Amazing pushes his way through the curtain and steps into the center of the stage with his head low to the ground. He pauses at the top of the stage, eyes remaining down as he hops up and down in place a couple times. His eyes slowly rise to the ring in the distance and he extends two fingers to the ring, clicking his thumb like a gun and takes off down the aisle way. He saunters down to the ring, occasionally interacting with the fans before pausing again at the end of the aisle way.
QT: "And his opponent! Making his way to the ring from Chicago, Illionis and weighing in at one-hundred and ninety-seven pounds JOHNNY! AHHHH-MAAAAAA-ZING!"
He takes a deep breath and gets a running start to leap feet first into the ring, sliding in on his back and up to one knee. His eyes go low, scanning the crowd through the ropes before he pops up to his feet. He steps into the turnbuckle grabbing the ropes on either side of him and presses his chest against the turnbuckle, his eyes scanning the crowd. He climbs to the second rope and throws the hoodie off his head and points out a few fans with the Blank Spot taunt and wink. After a moment, he drops back down to the canvas and removes his hoodie, followed by his hat that he tosses into the crowd.
CM: "Johnny Amazing has no business out here! The General Manager awarded Nathaniel Alexander his title shot fair and square! He's under no obligation to honor the asinine requests of the champion!"

Each participant has brought the lumber with them, as evidenced by Nick Riot holding his trusty steel chair and Katsu Shun has tonfa sticks hes twirling around in his hands to intimidate the other Fighting Spirit hopefuls. The lights go out in the arena as a green light faintly shines from under the ramp and Sinead O'Connor's voice is heard:
My own love said to me,
"My mother won't mind,
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind."
He went away from me
And this he did say,
"It will not be long, love,
'Till our wedding day."[/align]
And with an explosion of green pyro and the sound of a tolling bell, "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom" cuts in as "The Celtic War Beast" Gustav David Richlen emerges onto the ramp:
[/size]"My mother won't mind,
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind."
He went away from me
And this he did say,
"It will not be long, love,
'Till our wedding day."[/align]
And with an explosion of green pyro and the sound of a tolling bell, "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom" cuts in as "The Celtic War Beast" Gustav David Richlen emerges onto the ramp:
I walk through fire, I feel no pain
Fields of war which fuel my veins
In the end, son, I was once like you[/align]
Richlen starts walking to the ring as the song plays, sliding under the bottom rope as the first verse ends:
Fields of war which fuel my veins
In the end, son, I was once like you[/align]
Richlen starts walking to the ring as the song plays, sliding under the bottom rope as the first verse ends:
Cut me, child, you'll see I bleed
Scars of black which help me see
In the end, son, I was once like you[/align]
As he stands up in the middle of the ring, he reaches over his head and rips the mask off to reveal the face paint:
Scars of black which help me see
In the end, son, I was once like you[/align]
As he stands up in the middle of the ring, he reaches over his head and rips the mask off to reveal the face paint:
Life, birth, blood, doom
The hole in the ground is comin' 'round soon
Life, birth, blood, doom
The hole in the ground is comin' 'round, comin' 'round soon[/align]
The mask gets tossed to the side along with his jacket and he twirls a solid steel chain around in his hand.
QT: Weighing 198 pounds, he is a former FIW Fighting Spirit Champion THE CELTIC WAR BEAST GUSTAV DAVID RICHLEN!
Violent J begins the non-WWE version of "The Greatest Show", orange lights search across the arena, and smaller strobes flash away heralding the entrance of JUGGALETHAL! He bursts onstage with maximum funk, jiving and waving at the fans, slappin' some hands and gladhanding on his way to the ring.
QT: The final competitor is making his way to the ring from Detroit, Michigan... JUGGAAAAAALETHAAAAALLLL!!!
Juggalethal slides under the bottom rope and pumps his fists in excitement before throwing both hands up in the air at the far side of the ring. He moves to the TV-side and throws his arms up there, as well, grinning before producing a bottle of Faygo in preparation for the contest ahead.
JH: A lot of people are calling Juggalethal the favourite going into this Hardcore Battle Royal, hes the last man out here.
CM: Kursur was the first man to enter! Thats not right!
JH: He got a good look at every single one of his opponents, dont let the packaging fool you, this is a very smart individual and Im sure he used that to his advantage.
Referees Mark Deveraux & "Danger" Mark Fisher have the unenviable task of officiating this train wreck, they call for the bell together and immediately Xander Xavier Xross heads for the outside. It wasnt so much stepping through the ropes as a full on dive through to the floor. A brawl kicks off between the other nine men, Kira Izumi sends Quincy Wilson down with a shot from his impressive kendo sword, Quincy rolls out under the bottom rope and thanks to Izumi, Gustav David Richlen follows.
CM: Look at how smart Triple X is, hes out there not taking any punishment.
JH: Hes not smart, hes a coward!
Katsu Shun is wielding a pair of tonfa sticks, he sweeps the legs from under the rookie Logan Krueger and kicks him out under the ropes before taking apart Black Tom with shots to the body, then the back. Tom flails through the ropes in exaggerated fashion. Nick Riot swings with his chair but Katsu ducks underneath. Riot kicks one of the sticks out of Shuns hands before Katsu sidesteps Riot to send him through the ropes.
JH: They arent eliminated, just to reiterate, all either went under or through the ropes.
Now Kira Izumi and Katsu Shun target Juggalethal and Kursur, who had engaged in their own battle in a corner of the ring. In stereo Kira Izumi and Katsu Shun land shots with their chosen weapons from behind. They bundle Juggalethal and Kursur out through the cables before the dust settles, the smoke clears and it comes down to Kira and Katsu. As Kira Izumi points his kendo sword at his adversary, Katsu Shun discards his remaining tonfa to produce a stick of the kendo variety strapped to his back.
JH: Its like a Kung Fu movie!
CM: Were about to get a sword fight! Or a stick fight! Hell, I dont know!
They clash with their swords in a scene reminiscent of the new Star Wars film, neither man gets an advantage until Kira begins to force Katsu Shun back into a turnbuckle only for the Phantom to come back and force Kira backwards! Kira goes low with a shot to the leg that wobbles Katsu but Shun retaliates with one to the shoulder. Kira kicks the kendo stick out of Katsu Shuns hand, prompting Katsu to yell "GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY" to the fans before taking Kira down with a basement dropkick. Katsu Shun looks for a Phantom Drive! knee strike but Kira avoids the contact. Kira walks into a sweet shot with a telescopic rod by Kursur! Kira goes down to the mat and Kursur uses the rod on Katsu Shun.
JH: The participants are coming back in to the ring now but look, Triple X is still on the outside. Arent they going to get him back in?
The FIW Fighting Spirit Champion barely has time to register that he has knocked down two of his rivals as Nick Riot blasts him in the back with his steel chair. Kursur staggers into the ropes and Riot follows up with a superkick to send Kursur over but he lands on the ring apron and slithers back inside. Gustav David Richlen spins Riot around and hits a spinning back elbow. Watching the action is Juggalethal, who is casually drinking his Faygo as he leans on the ropes. Richlen sets up Nick Riot for a german suplex, he hits it and holds onto the waist. Richlen drags Riot up and hits a second german. Richlen is looking for the third to score a hat trick but Riot struggles against him. Juggalethal now steps forward to spray Faygo into the face of Riot but the Prophecy ducks and Richlen is blinded! Juggalethal slams the bottle of Faygo into Riots head to knock him down on his ass.
CM: I feel like calling Unsolved Mysteries and saying Hey, I found everybody.
JH: Black Tom is up and in the ring, he and Juggalethal must be two of the more interesting characters in this match.
Black Tom sizes up Juggalethal, the only problem being that his weapon of choice is a toy lightsaber. Juggalethal fills his mouth with Faygo for the Moon Mist but looks over at Black Tom to see standing like a Jedi ready to take him on. Black Tom extends his hand in an attempt to use the force on Juggalethal which causes Juggalethal to begin choking on his own Faygo!
JH: I dont believe it, he has legitimate powers.
CM: He just made Juggalethal choke himself! What the hell am I saying?!
Black Tom revels in his success only for both him and Juggalethal to be hit with a flying double clothesline by the recovering Katsu Shun. Things get serious as all 10 men are back in, including the dastardly Xander Xavier Xross from his tour of duty around the outside. Triple X and Logan Krueger have cornered Quincy Wilson on the far side of the ring. Logan holds Quincy for Xross to level with right hands as Richlen has Kursur in the opposite corner. Richlen drives in shoulders to his midsection of the defending Champion.
JH: Things have settled down here, we have all participants in the ring for the first time and they appear to have split off into their own battles.
CM: I see Richlen and Kursur, Quincy Wilson getting a hammering courtesy of Triple X directing traffic.
JH: Ive got my eye on a three-way brawl between Nick Riot, Katsu Shun and Kira Izumi.
Quincy Wilson has had enough of being double teamed, he headbutts his way free before picking up the weapon he brought with him, a metal trash can. He slams it down on the head of Triple X, then Krueger, then Richlen, then Kursur, then Riot and then Katsu Shun. Hes going crazy with the trash can, its not just dented - its mangled beyond all recognition. The former Fighting Spirit Champion lines up Kira Izumi but the Japanese star back drops him out!
The hole in the ground is comin' 'round soon
Life, birth, blood, doom
The hole in the ground is comin' 'round, comin' 'round soon[/align]

Hes going crazy with the trash can, its not just dented - its mangled beyond all recognition. The former Fighting Spirit Champion lines up Kira Izumi but the Japanese star back drops him out!
--QUINCY WILSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED--[/align]
JH: Our first elimination is by one of the newcomers, Kira Izumi.
CM: A great moment for Izumi but hes got a long road to home if he wants to claim the Fighting Spirit Championship in only his second ever FIW contest.
JH: Quincy was certainly a big scalp coming in and Kira has earned that prize.
Black Tom is back up, he connects with a Yakuza Kick on Kursur, allowing Richlen to escape the plague doctors clutches. Richlen sees Xander Xavier Xross on dream street following Wilsons shot with the trash can and he clotheslines Triple X over to the floor.

Gus barely has time to register that he has eliminated one his rivals before being blindsided from behind by Logan Krueger. The Entitled Son puts the boots to Richlen as Xross is regaining his wits on the outside. Xross digs into his tights and produces a pair of brass knuckles, which he tosses in to Krueger. Logan measures Richlen and drops him with the knux. Triple X wants back in the match to get him some more of Richlen, the two referees are holding him back. Kursur ducks under a second kick from Black Tom and the unfortunate Juggalethal takes the shot. Kursur sees the distraction and heads out under the bottom rope.
CM: Kursur taking a break on the outside, he deserves that after having to defend his title against nine, now eight, competitors.
JH: You wouldnt be criticising our new General Manager, would you?
CM: Certainly not, I wouldnt do a thing like that.
Kursur takes the time to pluck out a table from under the ring as inside the squared circle and begin setting it up as Kira Izumi pops off an enziguri on Katsu Shun that sends him stumbling into an Ace Crusher by Nick Riot. Riot locks Juggalathal in a dragon sleeper but strangely Kira Izumi breaks it up. Kira capitalises with a Rebirth combination of offence to leave Riot down on the mat. Black Tom grapples with Richlen, who is still suffering from the effects of the brass knuckles shot and Tom connects with a Pele Kick. Black Tom dances his way to the turnbuckle, steps through the ropes and begins to climb.
JH: This is not a wise move in a battle royal to be up so high
CM: But look around, theyre all engaged in their own fights so Black Tom has a free shot on Gus!
Black Tom sails off the top rope with a frog splash down on Richlen. Black Tom stands, clutching his stomach after such an impact down on the Celtic War Beast only to be rushed over the top rope by Nick Riot!

The fans are not happy about Black Tom being tossed out, Kursur attempts to placate them by sharing a beverage with them but the question of his he can get the drink through his mask remains unanswered as Katsu Shun sets up Juggalethal on the ropes. In the far corner Nick Riot is looking to eliminate Kira Izumi but he is wrapped around the ring cables to block his elimination. Katsu steps up to the top rope, slips behind Juggalethal and hits the Omega CRASH!! to leave Juggalethal destroyed on the mat. Katsu nails Richlen with a jawbreaker before he gets thrown out by Logan Krueger, Katsu Shun lands on top of Black Tom!

CM: Black Tom was getting up and feeling the beat, only to get wiped out by Katsu!
Kursur looks to make Black Tom and Katsu Shun feel better with an offer of his drink but as both are flat on the mats, neither accept and the plague doctor shrugs. He sets his drink down on the table he set up earlier and once again observes the action. Logan now looks to eliminate Kira but again he pretzels himself on the ropes. Juggalethal and Gustav David Richlen are exchanging punches. Nick Riot has his trusty chair, he swings it and connects with a shot on the head of Juggalethal before saving one for Richlen.
JH: Nick Riot has come to the party in a big way.
A chair shot cannons off the head of Kira Izumi, who had turned the tables on Krueger. Nick Riot runs at Logan with the chair Krueger gets his foot up to send the chair back into the face of Riot! A cut has been opened up on Riots forehead as the Demon Seed hoists him up into a press slam position over his head. While holding Riot up, Krueger boots down a recovering (and stumbling Juggalethal) before he launches Riot over the ropes through the table at ringside!

--NICK RIOT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED--[/align]
JH: Two eliminations for Krueger!
CM: And to add insult to injury he tosses the chair down on top of him!
The reaction of Kursur at ringside is one of dismay judging by his body language as he sees that his table has been destroyed. Logan Krueger has produced his own weapon, a nightstick, but that does little to protect him as Juggalethal hits the stiffest of karate kicks to his head. Juggalethal drops a series of elbows down onto the son of an FIW Legend as he further weakens him.
JH: You have to be impressed with Kira Izumi, heres a young man who has recently arrived in FIW and is still in this thing after five eliminations.
CM: We are just over half way home and theres a clear divide between the two newcomers and the three more experienced grapplers.
Richlen joins Juggalethal in stomping the life out of Logan Krueger before that partnership ends with Richlen landing an uppercut on Juggalethal. The two former NGIW competitors go at it with Richlen knocking Juggs down thanks to a strike with a steel chain. Kira Izumi looks to eliminate Richlen, he hurls him over the top rope but Richlen survives and propels himself back in under the ropes.
JH: Gustav David Richlen saves himself by clutching onto the bottom rope, a smart strategy would be to stay there and let the others fight it out amongst themselves.
CM: Of course it would be smart, just look at Kursur!
Juggalethal sees Kira coming at him, he hits him with a headbutt but Kira responds with a palm strike. Kira looks to winch Juggalethal over the ropes and get him over but Juggs holds onto Kira so both topple over onto the ring apron. They trade blows with both only having one foot on the apron. Both Richlen and Logan come at them to knock them down but both Izumi and Juggalethal fight them off. Kira drops to his knees, pulling Richlen down onto the top rope throat-first as Juggalethal runs Logan into the top turnbuckle. As Logan rebounds down onto the mat Kira pushes Juggalethal into the ringpost and he falls down to the arena floor.

JH: Kira Izumi has eliminated another one!
Having rather enjoyed himself at ringside, Kursur has decided to re-engage. Kira Izumi steps through the ropes back inside the ring and first knocks down Krueger before receiving a Carnosel out of nowhere by Gustav David Richlen. Richlen pops off a spear on Logan Krueger reminiscent of Clay Kruegers Chainsaw Blade. Richlen drags Kira up to his feet, Kira surprises him with a knee strike. Kira irish whips him to the ropes but Richlen reverses to shoot Kira into the cables. Kursur trips Kira Izumi from the outside and he stumbles into an Orange Crush Powerbomb by Richlen.
CM: Thats the Call Of The Dullahan by Gus!
Gustav picks Kira up and with Kursur pulling down the top rope into a low bridge, he throws Kira Izumi out.

--KIRA IZUMI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED--[/align]
JH: A great showing by the newcomer and it took both Kursur and Richlen to eliminate him.
CM: We are down to three! Kursur, Richlen and Krueger. Whos your money on?
Richlen isnt exactly in a thankful mood following Kursurs interference and assistance to eliminate Kira Izumi. Kursur steps up onto the ring apron and Richlen knocks him back down! Richlen slides out and rams Kursurs masked face into the ring apron, then the barricade. As they fight on the outside, Logan hits a suicide dive through the ropes onto both of them!
JH: Richlen and Krueger had a hell of a match last week on ReVolt, it really could have gone either way.
CM: This is a renewal of that rivalry with the defending Fighting Spirit Champion thrown in the mix.
Logan focuses on Kursur, he picks him up and tosses him inside. Richlen slowly makes his way back into the ring as Logan picks up Kursur in a firemans carry, he then blasts him with a roundhouse kick to send him stumbling back into a corner. Logan works over Kursur in a turnbuckle as Richlen looks happy to let Krueger to all the work. Just as Logan gets one of Kursurs legs over the top rope, Richlen attempts to flip out the second generation Rising star but Logan lands hard on the ring apron.
JH: Richlen let Krueger do the heavy lifting, he swooped in but Krueger survives on the ring apron.
Krueger is back in and Richlen has a choice to make, he dismisses Kursur with a punch buried to the gut before taking down Logan. He pounds away going for the jaw as Logan covers up. Richlen grabs his steel chain and wraps it around his fist. He doesnt even look at Kursur, he only has eyes for the Entitled Son. He is about ready to lay waste to Krueger when Kursur grabs him from behind and launches him out!

JH: Richlens focus on Krueger cost him this match!
CM: He had that steel chain on his hand, he was about to smash his jaw into a million pieces!
Kursur has got this down from nine men after his title to just one and its one of FIWs young guns. The kid runs at the Fighting Spirit Champion but Kursur sees him coming, he nails Logan with a dropsault from a standing position. Kursur signals that its over, he pulls Logan to his feet and sets him for the Panacea but Gustav David Richlen reaches in to grab Logans leg.
JH: Richlen is not finished with Krueger! He wants to break his jaw!
CM: Leave him Gus, let Kursur finish him!
The plague doctor throws Logan to the mat and stares down at Richlen, the man he defeated just a few weeks ago on ReVolt. Kursur turns into a leg lariat by Krueger as the momentum shifts to the youngster. Richlen pushes the referees off him to climb up onto the apron only to eat a boot from Krueger. Kursur hits a discus polish hammer to send Logan toppling over to the floor! Kursur has won it!

QT: Here is your winner and STILL FIW FIGHTING SPIRIT CHAMPION KKKKUUURRSSSUUUURRRRRRRR!
JH: Richlen became with obsessed with Logan Krueger at the end of this match, his desire to beat the hell out of him caused his own elimination and he made sure that Krueger didnt emerge with the title.
CM: Forget about that, Kursur scored the last two eliminations and hes still Fighting Spirit Champion.
Richlen is hauled off to the back as Logan Krueger looks up from ringside to see Kursur handed his Fighting Spirit Championship and the plague doctor makes sure Krueger sees him raise it with one hand, the other by the referee in a token of victory.
JH: Some great performances in this match by Richlen, Kira Izumi and Krueger.
CM: But its Kursur who leaves Anarchy in the UK with the Fighting Spirit Championship.
The camera cuts away, fading in on a place we haven't seen in quite a while. And a man we haven't seen recently either. Darian Gray stands before his throne in his home, a portrait hanging above on the wall behind him. There's a marble table before him, blocking our view from the full beauty of Darian. And of course, the room is nearly pitch black save for the spotlight on Darian. He takes a seat, staring into the camera.
Darian: "As you've all noticed... I've been gone... I needed time. Perfection takes time. I was thinking... planning... molding something bigger than I ever have before. Perfection always finds a way to outdo itself."
There's a soft chuckle.
Darian: "You've already seen a small part of that new piece... Roy as my new masterpiece seems fitting. He needed to move on from the mask. The hiding... And just as I am the visionary and genius behind Roy... I was for Depicting Sorrow."
He nods.
Darian: "Understand that my accomplishments were huge as the leader of that family... I revitalized the tag division with my flawlessness. Not only was I performing at my best... But I had Roy at his best too... But what if I told you..."
The Portrait pauses and covers his mouth as he smiles and laughs. He straightens himself out before speaking again.
Darian: "What if I told you we were even better now? Impossible, right? Wrong. Roy, hidden under his mask, wasn't as strong as he could be. He was still dealing with issues. And Rufus created them as well... Except I was perfect. And I knew I could get more... When Roy was Sorrow... It was just a stage of his evolution. He needed to realize his imperfections and impurities which helped him transform into what he is now. A masterpiece."
Darian pauses for a moment.
Darian: "I have pictured many things... Depicting Sorrow is just one of many... I'm a visionary, a true artist. It's men that are like me who change the way the world is viewed. And it's about time the portrait in my mind's eye is revealed to FIW... and changes the way this world is seen for good!"
His voice fades out on his final words as the light flickers out above him and then flickers back on. There's a white card on the marble table. Darian seems shocked as he stands up, grabbing the card quickly. He sets it down and walks off hastily, the camera zooming in on the card. The lettering appears to be written in blood.

TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Standard FIW Tag-Team Rules
The Brick Sharks vs. Coulter Crew [size0]with Kim Coulter
Referee: Richard Kelly[/align]
The guitar chords filter through the speakers and drench the arena in darkness, followed by a smattering of drums that light the stage up with blinding white strobes. The lights level out as Caleb Claudel and Harley Torres burst through the curtain. Harley is a ball of energy, pumping up the crowd while bouncing from side to side of the stage. Caleb steps out with a smile on his face, pointing out fans along the way. Harley meets Caleb at the top of the ramp and both lower their heads with their eyes to the ground, drawing attention to the Shark eyes on their hoodies that catch the ring in their sights. They both pop up with Harley quick-firing with a finger gun before they sprint for the ring.
QT: "Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for ONE fall, and is for the FIW Tag-Team Championships! Introducing first; making their way to the ring at a combined weight of 340 lbs your FIW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS HARLEY TORRES and CALEB CLAUDEL THE BRICK SHARKS!"
They dive in under the bottom rope in unison and Harley slides clear across the ring popping up to his feet while Caleb slides up to one knee. Harley points out two corners and throws himself into one, springing up to the middle turnbuckle and pumping a fist excitedly. Caleb climbs the other turnbuckle with a dazzling grin, pointing down at some of the most excitable fans. The two men retire to a respective corner where they get in some last minute strategizing about their opponents.
JH: "The Brick Sharks are strong favorites in this contest, Chip. Despite their best efforts, Helena Handbasket and Stephen Eversol just can't seem to get on the same page."
CM: "Don't you worry about them, Hitchen. They've got Kim Coulter in their corner! She'll put 'em on the right page! She has a way of having her clients win. That's why they call her Big Match Kim!"
JH: "Please don't make that a thing."

I two-step with Lucifer, and ever since I started dancin,
Ive walked a fine line between Einstein and Charles Manson,
Starvin in this famine with my stomach growlin,
Like someone shouting a hundred thousand times louder than thunder poundin,
Fuck around and Ill punch your mouth in,
Im king of the mountain, with my life in this project like its public housing,[/align]
"Shotgun" Stephen Eversol walks out from the entryway with his manager, Kim Coulter, by his side. He raises his hands in the air to a raucous explosion of jeers from the crowd. He scoffs at them as he and Kim begin their walk down the ramp.
QT: " and their opponents! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by his manager, Kim Coulter "SHOTGUN!" STEPHEN! EVERSOOOOOLLL!!!"

This is the frontline, this is the dead-zone, barely alive or in a box is how you head home,
This is the frontline, this is the life that I chose, I thought I told you muthafuckas to lock and load,

Eversol walks up the steps to the ring apron and hops over the top rope into the ring. He holds open the ropes for Kim, paying little attention to the name calling directed at himself and his manager. Eversol runs to the opposite corner and climbs onto the top rope and raises his arms in the air once more to an even louder chrous of boos as Kim claps for him and he has has some not so nice words with the fans nearby. The music slowly fading out as he awaits his opponent, sitting on the top rope and Kim makes her way to the outside. The electronic sounds of Biggest & The Best by Clawfinger crawl through the sound system followed by the lyrics to the first verse.
JH: "Wuhh . this isn't Helena Handbasket's music?"
CM: "You're damn right it isn't! It looks like Kim Coulter has made a last-minute substitution!"

Nobody is perfect but I'm pretty fucking close
And I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly dose
I think you better listen 'cos I know who you are
And I think that you should treat me like a superstar[/align]
The overdriven guitar sounds and heavy bass kicks in and blue pyro goes off on the stage to the left and right of the entrance ramp.
And I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly dose
I think you better listen 'cos I know who you are

The overdriven guitar sounds and heavy bass kicks in and blue pyro goes off on the stage to the left and right of the entrance ramp.
I hope you understand that the knowledge I bring
Puts me in the position of a god or a king
'Cos I'm blessed with the gift of the magic touch
And I wouldn't say that I'm asking for too much
All you have to do is get down on your knees and pray
And I promise you the remedy is on its way
But you can never be like me so don't waste your time
Because I reign supreme and my position is divine[/align]
After the final set of blue pyro goes off and the song kicks into high gear, Nathaniel Alexander steps out from behind the curtain, hands outstretched to his sides egging on the crowd sending a chorus of boos his way as he walks down the ramp.
QT: "And his Tag-Team partner from El Paso, Texas NATHANIEL!! ALEXXXAAAAANDERRRRRRR!!!"
JH: "This is a calculated risk on Coulter's part, but she looks pretty damn smug about this entire affair!"
CM: "It's no risk, baby! All reward! The Coulter Crew is taking home THREE titles tonight!"

Nathaniel makes his way around the side of the ring taunting the fans along the way. He hurries up the steps and turns toward the crowd, raising his hands in the air, once again to a raucous negative reaction. He turns back toward the ring and enters through the top and middle rope and heads to a far corner. He leans in and faces the entryway, awaiting the beginning of the match.

DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING!![/align]
The Brick Sharks look a little unsure, but they've never been boys to waffle in the face of adversity. They slap hands, bump fists, and we're starting this one off with Caleb and Stephen in the ring.
JH: "This should be an interesting contest. Both men are strong strikers, and there's no argument that Eversol is the bigger, stronger man, but Caleb Claudel is much more formally trained."
Stephen does start with some clubbing blows, but Caleb only takes a few on the chin before dodging out of the way of the next few. He ducks under and uses the extra momentum to ROUNDHOUSE KICK EVERSOL IN THE SKULL, knocking him to the mat. It seems unlikely, sure, but Caleb tries for the early cover!
[align=center]ONE!
TW--NO![/align]
JH: "Can't say I'm surprised there, but you have to take those opportunities where you can get them."
He follows the attempt up with a football kick to the back, then dances over to tag in Harley. The young Mr. Torres hops over the ropes and dances a little light on his feet while Eversol gets up, entertaining the fans. He uses the momentum to nail a coulplw of low kicks to Eversol's calves, but the "Shotgun" doesn't have patience for it and tears into Harley with clubbing blows and a snap belly-to-belly. He snidely plants a boot on Torres' chest, fast-counting "ONE, TWO, THREE!" by clapping his hands while staring a hole right through Claudel, but in actuality he only manages a--
[align=center]ONE![/align]
-- before Harley rolls out of it. Torres comes up swinging, but Eversol is putting his strength to work here, and bullies Harley into the corner. He batters him with elbows and boots, then WRENCHES him backward with a DDT! Harley rolls around on dream street while Eversol ascends to the top, pointing at Torres and calling his mark! Harley gets to his hands and knees and that's when Stephen jumps off, DRIVING him face-first into the canvas with a leg-drop bulldog!
CM: "EAT SHIT!"
JH: "Would you watch your tongue!? You've been so crass of late!"
CM: "It's the FIW network and PAY-PER-VIEW, baby! I can be as crass as the wrestlers! Fuck! Besides, that's the name of the move!"
Stephen doesn't even bother going for the cover. Instead he looks to Alexander in the corner and asks if he wants a piece. Nathaniel nods smugly, and the two slap hands and trade places.
JH: "Nathaniel Alexander, the Diamond Standard moving into the ring now he has a lot to lose by pushing himself too hard in this match with the UIC on the line in our very next contest!"
Nate pulls Harley to his feet, but the Shark isn't out yet; he fires off a few punches to put distance between them, then NAILS a spinning back kick to Alexander's stomach! Nathaniel looks like he's had the wind knocked out of him, and that's when Harley leaps into attack mode with a running hurricanrana facebuster!
JH: "That's the 'Faced!'"
CM: "GodDAMMIT, Hitchen! You go 'oooh! FACED!'"
JH: "Why? Why do you "go" that? It doesn't make any sense! the name of the move is 'Faced!'"
CM: "It hurts me inside that I'm more with it and hip than you."
Harley laughs and celebrates his sick move, but he's a smart cat so he does so on the way to tagging in his hetero life mate, Caleb Claudel! Alexander is already back to his feet when Caleb's boots hit the canvas, and he's ANGRY! Alexander becomes all clubbing blows and rage as he flies at Claudel, and this time Caleb has a much tougher time avoiding the onslaught! He finishes it off with a HUUUUGE backbreaker over the knee, then stomps around the ring talking about how great he is to the fans' collective disapproval.
CM: "These people wouldn't know good wrestling if it walked up to them and spit in their drinks!
JH: "Something I wouldn't put past either of these men."
CM: "No, Hitchen. Trust me; they're far too classy to spit in whatever swill these people are drinking. A fine cognac or a nice Perrier, now that might be different."
Kim finds herself on the apron, suddenly, which probably means shenanigans. Richard Kelly is having none of it and just waves her off, paying extra close attention to Nathaniel, who has locked in the Leveraged Black Out on Caleb Claudel! Harley Torres is livid, shouting at both Kim and Kelly, telling her to get off the apron and telling him to do his job!
CM: "Tell that kid to shut up! Kelly is doing his job! He's watching the match! Kim's not hurting anything!"
JH: "Yet."
CM: "Watch her, Hitchen. Tell me if she does something. I'll keep my eyes on the match, thanks."
JH: "Well, regardless, there's a lot of pain to be had in a move like the LBO, combining the reverse chancerie with the body scissors puts so much pressure on-- hang on, what's Stephen Eversol doing!?"
Using Kim's distraction as cover, Stephen Eversol has sneaked over to the Brick Sharks corner of the ring with a steel chair in his hands! He gingerly approaches Harley, then CRASHES the chair into his back and skull full-force! Stephen's quick to slide under the ring before Kelly can turn around so that when he does, nobdoy's there! Including Harley Torres, who's lying in a pained heap on the floor!
JH: "That was just disgusting!"
CM: "I know! This move is so punishing! Give it to him, Nathaniel!"
JH: "Not the move, what Stephen Eversol just did with that steel chair!"
CM: "I don't know what you're talking about, Hitchen. I was watching the match. Y'know, like I'm paid to do."
Kelly's gaze doesn't linger for long as Kim is imploring him to keep an eye on Claudel to tap, and Eversol is back in his proper corner, tag rope in hand and cheering his partner on by the time R.K. knows to look anywhere else. Caleb Claudel finally manages to break a leg loose enough to earn a rope break, but the damage has clearly been done! He moves like a pained man, using the ropes to pull himself to his feet as Alexander puts the boots to him! If I was a betting man betting on boots, though, I'd bet on the boots of Caleb Claudel, and he puts my money where his mouth is as OUT OF NOWHERE, he pulls down into his reserve tank and BLASTS ALEXANDER IN THE FACE WITH A JUMPING CORKSCREW ROUNDHOUSE!!!
JH: "EAT DEFEAT!! THIS COULD BE OVER!!"
CM: "Yeah, if Claudel could move!"
Caleb crawls for the pin, but finds himself moving in the wrong direction. Apparently Alexander didn't land where he expected, and by the time he rights himself, Kim is dragging Nathaniel out of the ring!
JH: "Oh, COME! ON!"
CM: "Smart move by Kim, keeping her star player from further harm!"
JH: "He's supposed to be wrestling a match, dammit!"
CM: "Watch your mouth, Hitchen. Children watch this show."
Kim does her best to perk Nate up while Caleb suddenly realizes his partner isn't quite where he left him. He moves to lean over the ropes, finding Harley only just now climbing to his feet from the attack. Alexander takes the opportunity to roll back into the ring and take the tag from the waiting Eversol, who RUSHES into position behind Caleb and SPLATTERING him with an inverted double underhook facebuster!
CM: "HAVE SOME! That's gotta be it!"
JH: "NO!"
Eversol rolls him away from the ropes for a cover, hooks the leg, and RK begins the count!
[align=center]ONE!
Harley lunges into the ring!
TWO!!
He grabs for Stephen's leg, but can't quite generate the leverage to pull him off!
THREE!!!
DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!![/align]
QT: "Here are your winners, and NEW! FIW TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS! NATHANIEL ALEXANDER AND STEPHEN! EVERSOOOOOLLLLLL!!!"
The fans SHOWER the victors in a deluge of boos, "Frontlines" hits the loudspeakers, and Harley pounds the mat in frustration for a moment before checking on his partner!
JH: "Talk about a stolen victory! Those boys deserved a better end to their reign than that."
But the music gets cut off by Mushroomhead's cover of "Crazy", and as could easily be predicted, our humble General Manager walks out onstage, mic in hand.
"Now, I--"
He waits for the music to fade and the crowd to calm a bit, gently wiping the facepaint from the corners of his lips.
"Now, I gotta say... ... I am proud of you guys. All four of you! Well, five. Great match out there! And the last-minute pinch hitter?"
Ken makes an "OK" sign with his hand and winks.
"Great decision. I'm sure that was a managerial call, right Kimmie?"
Kim seems untrustworthy of Ken, but smiles politely to show that she is, indeed, really good at her job.
"Problem is, not only do you have another match to prepare for... ohhhhhh RIGHT NOW, Nate, but you also don't get to take it easy as Tag-Team Champions. Oh no!"
Ken wags his finger, and the Coulter Crew hold their titles closely while waiting for him to go on.
"See, I've got this idea called Tag-Team Térmico! During the entire lead-up to Summer of Sin, EVERY SHOW... the Tag-Team titles will be on the line against one of the other hungry teams in this beautiful federation. Oh yeah! And every team that lays their hands on tag gold will find themselves in a HUUUUUUGE brawl at Summer of Sin... in a GRAND CROSS match! Two cables will be suspended FIFTEEN FEET above the ring in a cross shape... y'know..."
Here, CMK makes an X with his fingers.
"ULTIMATELY... ultimately it looks kinda like a letter X. The Tag-Team Championships will be suspended at the meeting point of these two ropes, and the first team to bring them down walks out of Summer of Sin the NEW Tag-Team Champions!"
The crowd cheers because this sounds like a really cool idea and they like the sound of this completely original Grand Cross match.
"Now... you guys basically get a free pass to the match, since you'll be starting with the titles in your possession, but you might be asking yourselves... what if nobody beats you? You're two capable young men in the prime of your lives. What if everyone who steps to your Tag-Team titles falls flat on their little faces in failure? Well, in that case... YOU get to HAND-PICK the two wrestlers that you'll defend your titles against in the match!"
A crowd reaction, some kind of nods of agreement from the Crew. Mostly I'm just filling this space because we need a pause before CMK signs off.
"So good luck on your way to Summer of Sin... and good luck in your next match, Nathaniel!"
He performs a wink and a gun, and leaves to his own music.
UNDISPUTED INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Single Elimination Triple-Threat Rules
Zombie Black vs. Nathaniel Alexander [size0]with Kim Coulter
The Brick Sharks look a little unsure, but they've never been boys to waffle in the face of adversity. They slap hands, bump fists, and we're starting this one off with Caleb and Stephen in the ring.
JH: "This should be an interesting contest. Both men are strong strikers, and there's no argument that Eversol is the bigger, stronger man, but Caleb Claudel is much more formally trained."
Stephen does start with some clubbing blows, but Caleb only takes a few on the chin before dodging out of the way of the next few. He ducks under and uses the extra momentum to ROUNDHOUSE KICK EVERSOL IN THE SKULL, knocking him to the mat. It seems unlikely, sure, but Caleb tries for the early cover!
[align=center]ONE!
TW--NO![/align]
JH: "Can't say I'm surprised there, but you have to take those opportunities where you can get them."
He follows the attempt up with a football kick to the back, then dances over to tag in Harley. The young Mr. Torres hops over the ropes and dances a little light on his feet while Eversol gets up, entertaining the fans. He uses the momentum to nail a coulplw of low kicks to Eversol's calves, but the "Shotgun" doesn't have patience for it and tears into Harley with clubbing blows and a snap belly-to-belly. He snidely plants a boot on Torres' chest, fast-counting "ONE, TWO, THREE!" by clapping his hands while staring a hole right through Claudel, but in actuality he only manages a--
[align=center]ONE![/align]
-- before Harley rolls out of it. Torres comes up swinging, but Eversol is putting his strength to work here, and bullies Harley into the corner. He batters him with elbows and boots, then WRENCHES him backward with a DDT! Harley rolls around on dream street while Eversol ascends to the top, pointing at Torres and calling his mark! Harley gets to his hands and knees and that's when Stephen jumps off, DRIVING him face-first into the canvas with a leg-drop bulldog!
CM: "EAT SHIT!"
JH: "Would you watch your tongue!? You've been so crass of late!"
CM: "It's the FIW network and PAY-PER-VIEW, baby! I can be as crass as the wrestlers! Fuck! Besides, that's the name of the move!"
Stephen doesn't even bother going for the cover. Instead he looks to Alexander in the corner and asks if he wants a piece. Nathaniel nods smugly, and the two slap hands and trade places.
JH: "Nathaniel Alexander, the Diamond Standard moving into the ring now he has a lot to lose by pushing himself too hard in this match with the UIC on the line in our very next contest!"
Nate pulls Harley to his feet, but the Shark isn't out yet; he fires off a few punches to put distance between them, then NAILS a spinning back kick to Alexander's stomach! Nathaniel looks like he's had the wind knocked out of him, and that's when Harley leaps into attack mode with a running hurricanrana facebuster!
JH: "That's the 'Faced!'"
CM: "GodDAMMIT, Hitchen! You go 'oooh! FACED!'"
JH: "Why? Why do you "go" that? It doesn't make any sense! the name of the move is 'Faced!'"
CM: "It hurts me inside that I'm more with it and hip than you."
Harley laughs and celebrates his sick move, but he's a smart cat so he does so on the way to tagging in his hetero life mate, Caleb Claudel! Alexander is already back to his feet when Caleb's boots hit the canvas, and he's ANGRY!

Harley Torres is livid, shouting at both Kim and Kelly, telling her to get off the apron and telling him to do his job!

UNDISPUTED INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Single Elimination Triple-Threat Rules
Zombie Black vs. Nathaniel Alexander [size0]with Kim Coulter
Referee: "Danger" Mark Fisher[/align]
QT: "Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the UNIVERSAL INTERGALACTIC CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, one of the TWO challengers; already in the ring and being accompanied by Kim Coulter and Stephen Eversol NATHANIELLLLL ALEXXXANDERRRRRRR!!!"
JH: "Alexander just took a nasty kick to the skull from Caleb Claudel, not to mention the rest of the match. You have to wonder how much he has left in the tank for this contest, Chip."
The rapid drum beat brings the arena to life with alternating green, blue, and white strobes. Johnny Amazing pushes his way through the curtain and steps into the center of the stage with his head low to the ground. He pauses at the top of the stage, eyes remaining down as he hops up and down in place a couple times. His eyes slowly rise to the ring in the distance and he extends two fingers to the ring, clicking his thumb like a gun and takes off down the aisle way. He saunters down to the ring, occasionally interacting with the fans before pausing again at the end of the aisle way.
QT: "And his opponent! Making his way to the ring from Chicago, Illionis and weighing in at one-hundred and ninety-seven pounds JOHNNY! AHHHH-MAAAAAA-ZING!"
He takes a deep breath and gets a running start to leap feet first into the ring, sliding in on his back and up to one knee. His eyes go low, scanning the crowd through the ropes before he pops up to his feet. He steps into the turnbuckle grabbing the ropes on either side of him and presses his chest against the turnbuckle, his eyes scanning the crowd. He climbs to the second rope and throws the hoodie off his head and points out a few fans with the Blank Spot taunt and wink. After a moment, he drops back down to the canvas and removes his hoodie, followed by his hat that he tosses into the crowd.
CM: "Johnny Amazing has no business out here! The General Manager awarded Nathaniel Alexander his title shot fair and square! He's under no obligation to honor the asinine requests of the champion!"
"I'M NOT A SPACEMAN
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND
I NEVER REALLY DID
FIT IN WITH THIS WORLD[/align]
The lights flash red as Zombie Black makes his way out onto the stage, arms out to his sides. He crows at the crowd, moving down to the ring and interacting with the fans... gladhanding, making rude gestures, whatever fits the mark.
QT: "And their opponent... from SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS!! He weighs in at TWO hundred THIRTY four pounds... he is your UNIVERSAL INTERGALACTIC CHAMPIONNN ZOMBIE!! BLACK!!!"
He slides feet-first under the bottom rope pausing to look at the arena around him before popping to his feet and leaning over the ropes, getting the crowd worked up! Zombie hops off and walks to his corner, limbering up his muscles and waiting for the match to start.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND
I NEVER REALLY DID
FIT IN WITH THIS WORLD[/align]
The lights flash red as Zombie Black makes his way out onto the stage, arms out to his sides. He crows at the crowd, moving down to the ring and interacting with the fans... gladhanding, making rude gestures, whatever fits the mark.
QT: "And their opponent... from SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS!! He weighs in at TWO hundred THIRTY four pounds... he is your UNIVERSAL INTERGALACTIC CHAMPIONNN ZOMBIE!! BLACK!!!"
He slides feet-first under the bottom rope pausing to look at the arena around him before popping to his feet and leaning over the ropes, getting the crowd worked up! Zombie hops off and walks to his corner, limbering up his muscles and waiting for the match to start.
DINGDINGDINGDINGDING![/align]
Zombie and Johnny look at one another, look at the already-sweaty Alexander, then nod. BOTH men come firing out of the gate, gunning for Nathaniel Alexander! A punch from Zombie! Nathaniel responds in kind! A punch from Johnny! He fires one back! But the two on one assault becomes too much for the man, and he wobbles on his feet!
JH: "Nathaniel already in trouble in this one!"
Johnny and Zombie lock arms and both men CLOTHESLINE Nathaniel Alexander over the top rope, onto the outside!
CM: "I can't believe Zombie and Johnny fooled us all! They were in on this together the whole time!"
JH: "Oh, stop it. Zombie Black never wanted Nathaniel in this match. I respect Crazy Man Ken's wishes, but you can understand why he might be more interested in eliminating the third man as soon as possible than in keeping him involved in the contest."
Kim and Eversol both rush to get their horse in this race back to his feet and fighting fit. In the meantime the temporary truce between Black and Amazing has apparently worn off! Johnny's firing off punches and Zombie's responding with a few slugs of his own, until he gets desperate and starts dishing out the Havok Wings!
CM: "Johnny Amazing's ears have to be ringing after those chops!"
Amazing is hurt, sure, but undaunted. He pushes the advantage to black with a few elbows and a toe kick to put distance between them, then DASHES Zombie against the mat with a high-angle dropkick!
JH: "Incredible height and outstanding form on that dropkick! Johnny Amazing is truly a pure athlete par execllence!"
Johnny doesn't earn himself much of a reprieve, however, as Nathaniel Alexander is back in the ring, snagging the young lion from behind and lifting him HIIIIIIGH over his head before DROPPING him to the mat with a neckbreaker!
CM: "Paradigm Shift!"
JH: "Nathaniel Alexander is running off of the momentum of the previous contest; he's ready to pull out all the stops to win, and here he's going for a pinfall!"
[align=center]ONE!
TWO!!
NO! Amazing kicks out with both legs![/align]
JH: "He'll have to do more than that to put out the fiery spirit of Johnny Amazing!"
All three men are back to their feet, looking between one another and waiting for the spark to set it off but Alexander seems like he isn't in the mood to get double-teamed again, and charges in taking BOTH MEN DOWN WITH A DOUBLE LARIAT!!
CM: "Two big arms, one for each of 'em! I told you, Hitchen, Alexander's taking home two titles tonight!"
JH: "With Kim Coulter on the outside, I wouldn't be surprised. She was instrumental in the last match, I have no doubt she'll make her presence known in this one."
Nathaniel pulls Amazing off the mat while Zombie Black perhaps wisely rolls out of the ring to catch his senses after that blow. Alexander steadies himself and whips Johnny Amazing HARD into the ropes--but Amazing hops up onto the second one with grace and incredible ring awareness! He bounces off and NAILS Alexander in the head with a swift kick!
JH: "The Blank Point! That's the second HUGE kick in the skull Nathaniel Alexander's taken tonight! This could be Amazing's moment!"
Rather uncharacteristically, Johnny decides to lock Nathaniel into a sleeper hold, actually. He cinches it in tight and makes sure Nathaniel's not in a position where he can just use his superior strength to force his way out, then works at the woozy man's head while keeping his own on a swivel for Zombie Black.
JH: "Now, this is actually a wise move for Johnny Amazing, and it really shows how far he's come since his debut here in FIW; Nathaniel Alexander is already running on all cylinders from the last match, as we mentioned, and now Amazing is slowing that down. It's not his typical pace, but he's bringing Nathaniel back down so that his high speed offense can work naturally against him!"
CM: "If you ask me, he's scared! He knows he can't beat a hoss like Nate Alexander with his usual stuff, so he's freaking out and trying something new!"
JH: "Well, that's why I didn't ask you. Oh, now what is this!?"
Kim Coulter is (you guessed it) up on the apron. She's screaming at referee Mark Fisher and pointing at Nathaniel, claiming Johnny Amazing is pulling his hair to keep him in the hold. Mark doesn't buy it, but he's gotta do his job so he checks Johnny's grip. Sure enough; no hair. Mark turns back to tell Kim, but she redoubles her efforts to scream, and Johnny finally just gets fed up with her. He releases the sleeper hold and gets in her face, pointing up the stage and involving Mark in what I'm sure is just a very heated, yet logical and well-mannered debate. The plan, I'm sure, is to give Nathaniel Alexander time to recover, which he has plenty of. He gets back to his feet and walks over to the opposite ropes, leaning against them for a moment to help him get his bearings when CLANG!!
JH: "GOOD GOD! What a shot!"
CM: "What the hell!? Zombie Black just hit Nathaniel with a chair! Disqualify him! Strip him of the title! That sneak! That cheat! Where'd he even get that thing!"
JH: "Correct me if I'm wrong, Chip, but I think that's the same chair Stephen Eversol hit Harley Torres with in the last match! Seems to me turnabout is fair play!"
CM: "No! That's not how that works, dammit!"
Eversol is hot on the job, cornering Zombie and threatening him. He tries to tattle to Fisher about the chair, but despite it still being in Zombie's hands Mark attests he didn't see it because he was busy arguing with Kim, who conveniently starts laying into Fisher all over again. With the distraction in paly Eversol attempts to take the chair from Black, but Black isn't looking to give it up anytime soon! He boots Stephen in the gut and triumphantly holds his chair up, turning back to the ring TO GET THE STEEL RAMMED DIRECTLY INTO HIS TEETH FROM A DROPKICK THROUGH THE CORNER BY JOHNNY AMAZING!!!
JH: "AMA-ZING!! Where did he even COME from!?"
CM: "This is chaos! This match is a joke! Throw it out! Start over! BOOOO!"
"Danger" Mark finally has had enough and ejects Kim Coulter and Stephen Eversol from ringside! Kim argues with him, but finally relents when he threatens to disqualify Alexander (and ONLY Alexander) from the match! The two clear out of ringside, and it's Johnny Amazing climbing the top turnbuckle while Nathaniel is still on the floor! He takes off, but the move he's looking for doesn't hit his aim as ALEXANDER IS UP LIKE A SHOT, CATCHING JOHNNY IN A RACK POSITION!!!
CM: "YESSS!! NEVERMIND! THIS IS AMAZING!! GO, NATE, GO!!!"
Nathaniel swivels Johnny around into position for an overhead belly-to-back piledriver, hanging in the air for a moment to let the blood rush to Amazing's head--but Johnny finds his way out of it! He puts his arm between Alexander's legs while he's off-balance and rolls him into a schoolboy!!
JH: "HE'S GOT IT!! HE'S GOT IT!!"
[align=center]ONE!!
TWO!!
THH--ZOMBIE BLACK COMES SMASHING THROUGH BOTH OF THEM WITH A DIVING ELBOW!!![/align]
JH: "FALCON CRASH!!! FALCON CRASH!! ZOMBIE BLACK JUST SAVED THE MATCH!!"
CM: "STOP YELLING."
Nathaniel slides out of the ring, more from gravity doing its job on him than any self-preservation. Johnny is almost dead-center, and Zombie Black has made his way to the corner. He's eyeing Johnny Amazing as he climbs to his feet, and just as he finds his toes Zombie Black CHARGES IN, WRENCHING JOHNNY BENT OVER BACKWARD BEFORE-- NO!! NO!! JOHNNY MAINTAINS CONTROL!! He doesn't let Zombie Black pull him back ,and in fact deftly moves into position, WRENCHING Zombie forward and SPIKING HIS HEAD INTO THE CANVAS!!!
JH: "AMAZING BOMBER!! COVER!!!"
[align=center]ONE!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!!!
DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!![/align]
JH: "HE DID IT!! JOHNNY AMAZING DID IT!!!"
QT: "HERE is your winner and NEW! UNDISPUTED INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JOHNNY! AAAAAAA-MAAAAAAAAA-ZIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!"
JH: "A TITANIC effort, but Johnny Amazing finally FINALLY came out on top!"
HELLCAT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Standard FIW Ruels
Bisenshi Sakura vs. Mercedes Blackwell
Referee: Brittany[/align]
The arena is drenched in darkness as an operatic note rings out over the speakers.
The music kicks in and bathes the arena in pink and white alternating strobes as Brittany steps out onto the stage in her black and white stripes for the forthcoming contest. She kisses two fingers and puts it out to the capacity crowd with a smile. She skips down the aisle, moving from side to side to high-five the outstretched hands of various fans.
QT: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your special guest referee for the upcoming contest BRRRRIIIIITTTTT-NEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
JH: Crazy Man Ken put Brittany in charge of this Hellcats Championship match after she made the official announcement that she will be using her Fury Road victory to challenge for the title on July the 22nd at Summer of Sin.
CM: You gotta admit that shes got a golden opportunity here. She could be deciding who she will be challenging.
JH: She is making the ruling, but if I know Brittany she will make the call on who actually earns it here tonight.
Brittany makes her way up the ring steps and walks the apron, turning to the crowd to once again kiss two fingers and put it out to them with a big smile. Following the photo op, she ducks under the middle rope to enter the ring and throws both hands up into the air before pointing out a few fans that cheer loud enough to put a smile on her face which is basically any fan cheering at all.
JH: You have to admit that Brittany adds a level of unpredictability to this long-awaited encounter between Sakura and Mercedes. Her inexperience as a referee could play a major factor into this match.
CM: We already saw Sakura worried about that. She tried to hide it well but shes a terrible actress!
Zombie and Johnny look at one another, look at the already-sweaty Alexander, then nod. BOTH men come firing out of the gate, gunning for Nathaniel Alexander! A punch from Zombie! Nathaniel responds in kind! A punch from Johnny! He fires one back! But the two on one assault becomes too much for the man, and he wobbles on his feet!
JH: "Nathaniel already in trouble in this one!"
Johnny and Zombie lock arms and both men CLOTHESLINE Nathaniel Alexander over the top rope, onto the outside!
CM: "I can't believe Zombie and Johnny fooled us all! They were in on this together the whole time!"
JH: "Oh, stop it. Zombie Black never wanted Nathaniel in this match. I respect Crazy Man Ken's wishes, but you can understand why he might be more interested in eliminating the third man as soon as possible than in keeping him involved in the contest."
Kim and Eversol both rush to get their horse in this race back to his feet and fighting fit. In the meantime the temporary truce between Black and Amazing has apparently worn off! Johnny's firing off punches and Zombie's responding with a few slugs of his own, until he gets desperate and starts dishing out the Havok Wings!
CM: "Johnny Amazing's ears have to be ringing after those chops!"
Amazing is hurt, sure, but undaunted. He pushes the advantage to black with a few elbows and a toe kick to put distance between them, then DASHES Zombie against the mat with a high-angle dropkick!
JH: "Incredible height and outstanding form on that dropkick! Johnny Amazing is truly a pure athlete par execllence!"
Johnny doesn't earn himself much of a reprieve, however, as Nathaniel Alexander is back in the ring, snagging the young lion from behind and lifting him HIIIIIIGH over his head before DROPPING him to the mat with a neckbreaker!
CM: "Paradigm Shift!"
JH: "Nathaniel Alexander is running off of the momentum of the previous contest; he's ready to pull out all the stops to win, and here he's going for a pinfall!"
[align=center]ONE!
TWO!!
NO! Amazing kicks out with both legs![/align]
JH: "He'll have to do more than that to put out the fiery spirit of Johnny Amazing!"
All three men are back to their feet, looking between one another and waiting for the spark to set it off but Alexander seems like he isn't in the mood to get double-teamed again, and charges in taking BOTH MEN DOWN WITH A DOUBLE LARIAT!!
CM: "Two big arms, one for each of 'em! I told you, Hitchen, Alexander's taking home two titles tonight!"
JH: "With Kim Coulter on the outside, I wouldn't be surprised. She was instrumental in the last match, I have no doubt she'll make her presence known in this one."
Nathaniel pulls Amazing off the mat while Zombie Black perhaps wisely rolls out of the ring to catch his senses after that blow. Alexander steadies himself and whips Johnny Amazing HARD into the ropes--but Amazing hops up onto the second one with grace and incredible ring awareness! He bounces off and NAILS Alexander in the head with a swift kick!
JH: "The Blank Point! That's the second HUGE kick in the skull Nathaniel Alexander's taken tonight! This could be Amazing's moment!"
Rather uncharacteristically, Johnny decides to lock Nathaniel into a sleeper hold, actually. He cinches it in tight and makes sure Nathaniel's not in a position where he can just use his superior strength to force his way out, then works at the woozy man's head while keeping his own on a swivel for Zombie Black.
JH: "Now, this is actually a wise move for Johnny Amazing, and it really shows how far he's come since his debut here in FIW; Nathaniel Alexander is already running on all cylinders from the last match, as we mentioned, and now Amazing is slowing that down. It's not his typical pace, but he's bringing Nathaniel back down so that his high speed offense can work naturally against him!"
CM: "If you ask me, he's scared! He knows he can't beat a hoss like Nate Alexander with his usual stuff, so he's freaking out and trying something new!"
JH: "Well, that's why I didn't ask you. Oh, now what is this!?"
Kim Coulter is (you guessed it) up on the apron. She's screaming at referee Mark Fisher and pointing at Nathaniel, claiming Johnny Amazing is pulling his hair to keep him in the hold. Mark doesn't buy it, but he's gotta do his job so he checks Johnny's grip. Sure enough; no hair. Mark turns back to tell Kim, but she redoubles her efforts to scream, and Johnny finally just gets fed up with her. He releases the sleeper hold and gets in her face, pointing up the stage and involving Mark in what I'm sure is just a very heated, yet logical and well-mannered debate. The plan, I'm sure, is to give Nathaniel Alexander time to recover, which he has plenty of. He gets back to his feet and walks over to the opposite ropes, leaning against them for a moment to help him get his bearings when CLANG!!
JH: "GOOD GOD! What a shot!"
CM: "What the hell!? Zombie Black just hit Nathaniel with a chair! Disqualify him! Strip him of the title! That sneak! That cheat! Where'd he even get that thing!"
JH: "Correct me if I'm wrong, Chip, but I think that's the same chair Stephen Eversol hit Harley Torres with in the last match! Seems to me turnabout is fair play!"
CM: "No! That's not how that works, dammit!"
Eversol is hot on the job, cornering Zombie and threatening him. He tries to tattle to Fisher about the chair, but despite it still being in Zombie's hands Mark attests he didn't see it because he was busy arguing with Kim, who conveniently starts laying into Fisher all over again. With the distraction in paly Eversol attempts to take the chair from Black, but Black isn't looking to give it up anytime soon! He boots Stephen in the gut and triumphantly holds his chair up, turning back to the ring TO GET THE STEEL RAMMED DIRECTLY INTO HIS TEETH FROM A DROPKICK THROUGH THE CORNER BY JOHNNY AMAZING!!!
JH: "AMA-ZING!! Where did he even COME from!?"
CM: "This is chaos! This match is a joke! Throw it out! Start over! BOOOO!"
"Danger" Mark finally has had enough and ejects Kim Coulter and Stephen Eversol from ringside! Kim argues with him, but finally relents when he threatens to disqualify Alexander (and ONLY Alexander) from the match! The two clear out of ringside, and it's Johnny Amazing climbing the top turnbuckle while Nathaniel is still on the floor! He takes off, but the move he's looking for doesn't hit his aim as ALEXANDER IS UP LIKE A SHOT, CATCHING JOHNNY IN A RACK POSITION!!!
CM: "YESSS!! NEVERMIND! THIS IS AMAZING!! GO, NATE, GO!!!"
Nathaniel swivels Johnny around into position for an overhead belly-to-back piledriver, hanging in the air for a moment to let the blood rush to Amazing's head--but Johnny finds his way out of it! He puts his arm between Alexander's legs while he's off-balance and rolls him into a schoolboy!!
JH: "HE'S GOT IT!! HE'S GOT IT!!"
[align=center]ONE!!
TWO!!
THH--ZOMBIE BLACK COMES SMASHING THROUGH BOTH OF THEM WITH A DIVING ELBOW!!![/align]
JH: "FALCON CRASH!!! FALCON CRASH!! ZOMBIE BLACK JUST SAVED THE MATCH!!"
CM: "STOP YELLING."
Nathaniel slides out of the ring, more from gravity doing its job on him than any self-preservation. Johnny is almost dead-center, and Zombie Black has made his way to the corner. He's eyeing Johnny Amazing as he climbs to his feet, and just as he finds his toes Zombie Black CHARGES IN, WRENCHING JOHNNY BENT OVER BACKWARD BEFORE-- NO!! NO!! JOHNNY MAINTAINS CONTROL!! He doesn't let Zombie Black pull him back ,and in fact deftly moves into position, WRENCHING Zombie forward and SPIKING HIS HEAD INTO THE CANVAS!!!
JH: "AMAZING BOMBER!! COVER!!!"
[align=center]ONE!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!!!
DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!![/align]
JH: "HE DID IT!! JOHNNY AMAZING DID IT!!!"
QT: "HERE is your winner and NEW! UNDISPUTED INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JOHNNY! AAAAAAA-MAAAAAAAAA-ZIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!"
JH: "A TITANIC effort, but Johnny Amazing finally FINALLY came out on top!"
HELLCAT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Standard FIW Ruels
Bisenshi Sakura vs. Mercedes Blackwell
Referee: Brittany[/align]
The arena is drenched in darkness as an operatic note rings out over the speakers.
The music kicks in and bathes the arena in pink and white alternating strobes as Brittany steps out onto the stage in her black and white stripes for the forthcoming contest. She kisses two fingers and puts it out to the capacity crowd with a smile. She skips down the aisle, moving from side to side to high-five the outstretched hands of various fans.
QT: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your special guest referee for the upcoming contest BRRRRIIIIITTTTT-NEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
JH: Crazy Man Ken put Brittany in charge of this Hellcats Championship match after she made the official announcement that she will be using her Fury Road victory to challenge for the title on July the 22nd at Summer of Sin.
CM: You gotta admit that shes got a golden opportunity here. She could be deciding who she will be challenging.
JH: She is making the ruling, but if I know Brittany she will make the call on who actually earns it here tonight.
Brittany makes her way up the ring steps and walks the apron, turning to the crowd to once again kiss two fingers and put it out to them with a big smile. Following the photo op, she ducks under the middle rope to enter the ring and throws both hands up into the air before pointing out a few fans that cheer loud enough to put a smile on her face which is basically any fan cheering at all.
JH: You have to admit that Brittany adds a level of unpredictability to this long-awaited encounter between Sakura and Mercedes. Her inexperience as a referee could play a major factor into this match.
CM: We already saw Sakura worried about that. She tried to hide it well but shes a terrible actress!
Had a dream I
Hadnt Made It
Theres Nothing dragging
Me down now
Cause a girl gonna
Push it all out the way
Destined to break in
I found my way
Yeah
Cause a girl gonna
Push em all out the way[/align]
The thumping beat of Skys The Limit booms through the arena as Mercedes appears on the stage to a thunderous ovation. Mercedes has on a rather peculiar attire on and takes a moment to soak in the cheers before pounding her chest and yelling Lets Go! and beginning to walk down the aisle.
JH: Mercedes hasnt been quite the same since she lost the Hellcats title and her outfit tonight continues that theme.
CM: Whats she supposed to be - Rainbow Brite?
JH: I would wager she is continuing to uh, well, I dont want to say mess with Sakura
CM: Well, I guess Sakura isnt the only one who can sparkle!

I made it here in the spotlight
Woke up, see my life in the shade
Now thats not quite
Hustlin everyday
Im on my way to that sharp light
Its my destiny
To be bigger
Yeah I got fight [/align]
The Northern Cali Native gets into the ring slowly and soaks in the cheers one last time as her music continues to blare through the arena. She and Brittany share a look with one another and the guest referee offers the kind of smile youd expect from someone youve been unexpectedly estranged with but they continue to insist theres nothing wrong. Mercedes backs into her corner with some air-punches before pushing on her knuckles to loosen her hands and wrists up. She leans back on the corner with her hands on the ropes, awaiting her opponent.
JH: The situation with Mercedes and Brittany has been as strained as things are with Sakura and Brittany, AND Sakura and Mercedes.
CM: If you ask me, these three girls need to just get it on.
JH: They have.
CM: WHAT?!
JH: Two months ago at Rise of a Legend. It was a triple threat match for the title.
CM: Dont do that to me. You asshole.

Sakura-chan Nyoroyo~!!![/align]
It's Wiggly Sakura-chan! Bursting out through the curtain in the middle of a chiptune nightmare/soundscape [delete as applicable, depending on your viewpoint,] comes a very dancy Bisenshi Sakura, throwing some shapes, all the while trying to keep the Sweetest Hat in FIW on top of her head with her left hand. Her right arm seems to have lost all bone structure. Once she gets to the ring, it's Quinn Thompson who is given the sacred task of watching her hat, although her coat gets passed out to a nameless ringside gooba as she stretches in her corner.
JH: Sakura-chan. The reigning Hellcats Champion has had a ride in FIW. A short hiatus and a triumphant return have made for a tumultuous time for this woman.
CM: If you ask me, shes brought it all on herself. Shes let that title control her and now shes the biggest bitch in FIW.
JH: Sakura hasnt done anything to warrant that, Chip.
CM: Shes a fake bitch. And if theres one thing Mercedes hates, its when someone is fake!
The bell sounds as Brittany collects the Hellcats title from the champion. Sakura is wearing a particular kind of smile as she hesitantly hands the title belt over to her friend. Brittany returns the kind of smile youd expect given their situation and waits patiently for Quinns verbal cues.
QT: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the FIW HELLCATS CHAMPIONSHIP!
Huge pop for the womens title that everybody enjoys seeing defended. Brittany even raises it high into the air for everyone to see exactly whats on the line. Then she shows the belt to Mercedes Blackwell, followed by the champ that handed it over, before passing it off to a ring monkey.
QT: Introducing the challenger! From Fresno, California! She is a former Hellcats Champion MERCEDES BLACKWELL!
Mercedes comes out of her corner with a fist raised high into the air as the crowd rain down with their support or lack thereof for the Californian. Theres a very even mix in the air when it comes to those who want to see Mercedes as champ and those who want to see it remain on Sakura.
QT: And the opponent! From dangerously close to the Sun! She is the reigning HELLCATS CHAMPION BISENSHI SAKURA!
A burst of sparkles are thrown into the air as Sakura steps into the middle of the ring and accepts the crowds freedom to cheer or boo her with a very regal bow. Like with Mercedes there is an even mix in the air on what these particular fans want to see from this match.
DING-DING!
The bell signals the start of the contest and its a collar and elbow tie-up that gets us going. Sakura and Mercedes go back and forth transitioning into headlocks and arm wrenches before Mercedes manages to wrestle Sakura down onto her stomach. The former champion walks on Sakuras back after schooling the game and despite the boos mixed in with the cheers, Mercedes just shrugs her shoulders. Sakura reluctantly goes for another collar and elbow tie-up when prompted by Mercedes. This time when Mercedes gets in a headlock, Sakura shoots her off the ropes. Mercedes comes back and plows through Sakura with a huge shoulder block! When she goes off the ropes again, Sakura jumps to her feet and looks for a hip toss that is blocked but she quickly counters into an armbar takedown! Mercedes clamors to the ropes and Brittany is quick to make sure Sakura gives a clean break - which she does.
JH: Interesting contest so far. A little bit of arrogance from Mercedes when she took the champion down.
CM: She wasnt being arrogant! Thats called SPARKLE~!
JH: Well, Sakura just sparkled there with an armbar that Mercedes was desperate to get out of.
Mercedes comes back with a right hand but Sakura ducks and latches onto the arm with a lock. Mercedes arm drags her but Sakura rolls through into an arm drag of her own while transitioning into an armbar. Mercedes fights again, dragging herself into the ropes and Brittany once again checks to make sure that Sakura gives the clean break. The champ backs up with her hands up and Brittany checks on Mercedes that states shes fine. Sakura goes right for the arm again but Mercedes drags her into a huge forearm shot straight to the face! Mercedes nails another pair of forearm shots before scooping Sakura up and slamming her into the middle of the canvas. Mercedes hits the ropes and then drives the point of her elbow into the canvas as Sakura rolls aside! The Beautiful Star Soldier hits the ropes and dives over Mercedes with a sunset flip only for Mercedes to roll through and sit-out with a dropkick square in the face that gets her a two-count!
JH: A spirited affair here with Mercedes and Sakura. Brittany in good position for that count.
CM: Mercedes looks to disagree.
JH: I think thats just frustration on trying to put Sakura away.
Mercedes looks to maintain the offensive but Sakura grabs a hold of her and throws her face-first into the second turnbuckle! Sakura unleashes a rapid fire series of kicks in the turnbuckle before Brittany comes over about being the ropes. Sakura backs off again without a fight. Mercedes charges out and Sakura ducks a clothesline to roll Mercedes up in a cradle. Brittany barely gets in position before Mercedes kicks out and Sakura goes into another cradle. The succession continues for some time until Brittany looks absolutely dizzy yet counts the two before Mercedes springs off her shoulders and clamors into the ropes to catch her breath.
JH: The Sakura Clutch. Didnt score a victory but you can see how its winded Mercedes!
CM: Brittany too! She can barely count to three her head is spinning so much!
Sakura extends a hand to Mercedes with a very Bisenshi grin on her face that only serves to enrage Mercedes and send her charging out of the corner. Sakura takes cover into the ropes and this time its Mercedes that Brittany has to intervene against. Its a less clean break this time but eventually Brittany manages to wedge between the two and force Mercedes back from the ropes. While Brittany is reading Mercedes the riot act about the ropes, Sakura springs off the top rope soars over Brittany and BLASTS Mercedes with a flying knee to the face! Sakura smiles at Brittanys shock and heads to the top rope to finish things off. She sails with a moonsault twist.. and lands on her feet when Mercedes rolls aside! She flips into a kick that scores square in the face on the challenger!
JH: Prism Assault: Reflect! Rotate missed but Reflect did not! Shes got the cover!
CM: Thats not gonna get it done!
Chip is right. Brittanys hand is coming down for three when Mercedes kicks out. Sakura huffs and yanks Mercedes to her feet. Mercedes elbows her way out of Sakuras hold and shoves her into the ropes. Sakura rebounds into a boot to the stomach and Mercedes looks to hoist her into her shoulders. Sakura nails shot upside Mercedes head, drops down behind her and its WATER SPIRIT SUPLEX TIME! Sakura bridges out and Brittany is in position in the blink of an eye to count the TWO!
JH: Mercedes just kicked out of the Water Spirit Suplex! I dont believe it!
CM: FIWs own Wonder Woman!
Sakura is shocked and even Brittany is! Still, she assures Sakura that it was only two. Mercedes seeks refuge in the corner and delivers a back elbow when Sakura tries to follow. The champion wont be denied so Mercedes throws two boots right in her face! Mercedes bursts out of the corner with a Lou Thesz Press before lighting Sakura up with closed fists that Brittany immediately get onto her about, threatening disqualification. Sakura is barely to her feet when Mercedes ducks underneath her and throws her over with a Northen Lights Suplex! She makes the cover and Sakura kicks out at two.
JH: Now its Mercedes who cant believe she didnt get the three. That was a picture perfect Norteña!
CM: Im starting to wonder if Brittany can even count to three!
Mercedes argues for a moment and when she goes to retrieve Sakura she gets her arm yanked and tied up in a Jujigatame! Mercedes comes alive at the danger, flailing frantically in the hold and fighting to drag herself into a break. Brittany gets in position, asking Mercedes if she quits but the challenger refuses to submit! She grits her teeth and drags herself into the ropes, screaming for Brittany to get Sakura off. The champion immediately rolls backwards to her feet and holds her hands up. Mercedes grabs onto the ropes and starts to pull herself up JUST AS SAKURA BOOTS HER UPSIDE THE HEAD!
JH: What the hell was that?!
CM: What a cheap trick!
JH: I dont agree with that behavior at all from Sakura.
Sakura is backed up physically by Brittany this time and that Bisenshi grin is apparent as ever, the Beautiful Star Soldier once again holding her hands up innocently. Mercedes nudges Brittany aside to lunge at Sakura and she once again flips into a Jujigatame! This time Mercedes plants her feet and screams as she uses all her strength to turn and SLAM Sakuras head into the turnbuckle! The champion crumples in the corner and Mercedes stumbles out, clutching at her shoulder.
CM: What a counter to the Jujigatame! Beautifully done!
JH: But whats the toll it took on Mercedes arm?
We see that toll when Mercedes goes in for the Rack City but she cant raise Sakura up on her shoulders. The challenger falters and grabs at her shoulder, allowing Sakura to slip off her shoulders. The champion is on wobbly legs as the challenger drops to a knee, clutching her shoulder. Practically stumbling out of the corner, Sakura darts forward and DRIVES A KNEE RIGHT INTO MERCEDES TEMPLE!
JH: Good Sweet Christ! What a running knee!
CM: What the hell?! That play was right out of Billy Fuckin Walkers book!
JH: It did look very similar to the famed running knee of Mr. Blond himself!
Sakura falls into the cover and Brittany slides into position to count the ONE! TWO! THREE! Thats all she wrote, folks! The Sakura fans cheer! The Mercedes fans arent happy! Brittany looks relieved that its over, to be honest. Sakura slumps onto the canvas and tries to shake the ringing from her ears as Brittany retrieves the title belt from the ring monkey.
QT: Here is your winner and STILL the HELLCATS CHAMPION! BISENSHI SAKURA!
JH: Sakura did it. She retained her title against a very capable challenger.
Brittany presents Sakura with the Hellcats Championship and then raises the champs hand in the victory for the whole world to see.
CM: There it is, Hitchen! Your next Hellcats title match.
JH: If Sakura can hold onto that title until then, you are absolutely right.
CM: Poor Mercedes! Can I go check on her?
JH: I think you should stay put!
Sakura celebrates for her fans and Brittany checks to make sure that Mercedes is okay from that brutal knee as the scene cuts to uh, something else!
MAIN EVENT
DUAL CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Standard FIW Rules
Mad Dawg vs. Cage Murdock
Referee: Tony Clarke[/align]
QT: The following contest is our Main Event for the FIW DUAL CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP!
The twinging guitar sound echoes throughout the arena signalling the arrival of the former "Dragon" of The Golden Age Of Grotesque! Cage Murdock! He rushes out, throwing his arms up and down at the top of the ramp, flexing his massive physique. He makes his way down to the ring, slapping his face and preparing himself to lay down a massacre. He gets into the ring, climbing over the top rope like the giant he is and gets into the ring, a look of pleasure on his face. What he's about to do is his business, and he sure does take pleasure in doing it.
QT: Introducing first, he is the challenger CAAGGGEEEEEEE MMMUURRRRDDOOCCCKKKKK!
It's Wiggly Sakura-chan! Bursting out through the curtain in the middle of a chiptune nightmare/soundscape [delete as applicable, depending on your viewpoint,] comes a very dancy Bisenshi Sakura, throwing some shapes, all the while trying to keep the Sweetest Hat in FIW on top of her head with her left hand.

Sakura falls into the cover and Brittany slides into position to count the ONE! TWO! THREE! Thats all she wrote, folks! The Sakura fans cheer! The Mercedes fans arent happy! Brittany looks relieved that its over, to be honest. Sakura slumps onto the canvas and tries to shake the ringing from her ears as Brittany retrieves the title belt from the ring monkey.
QT: Here is your winner and STILL the HELLCATS CHAMPION! BISENSHI SAKURA!
JH: Sakura did it. She retained her title against a very capable challenger.
Brittany presents Sakura with the Hellcats Championship and then raises the champs hand in the victory for the whole world to see.
CM: There it is, Hitchen! Your next Hellcats title match.
JH: If Sakura can hold onto that title until then, you are absolutely right.
CM: Poor Mercedes! Can I go check on her?
JH: I think you should stay put!
Sakura celebrates for her fans and Brittany checks to make sure that Mercedes is okay from that brutal knee as the scene cuts to uh, something else!
MAIN EVENT
DUAL CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Standard FIW Rules
Mad Dawg vs. Cage Murdock
Referee: Tony Clarke[/align]
QT: The following contest is our Main Event for the FIW DUAL CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP!
The twinging guitar sound echoes throughout the arena signalling the arrival of the former "Dragon" of The Golden Age Of Grotesque! Cage Murdock! He rushes out, throwing his arms up and down at the top of the ramp, flexing his massive physique. He makes his way down to the ring, slapping his face and preparing himself to lay down a massacre. He gets into the ring, climbing over the top rope like the giant he is and gets into the ring, a look of pleasure on his face. What he's about to do is his business, and he sure does take pleasure in doing it.
QT: Introducing first, he is the challenger CAAGGGEEEEEEE MMMUURRRRDDOOCCCKKKKK!
"CUT IT!"[/align]
Pyros go off on the side of the stage and the arena is flooded in red light as "Cut the Cord" starts to play over the speakers.

"(Freedom, la la la la, freedom, follow me!)
(Freedom, la la la la, freedom)
Let me tell you, I'm vicious!
Not pass-aggressive
I got my finger on my pulse, staring straight into a hole and I'ma get it!
And I'm a savage!
It's automatic!
I got a way of making noise, the power to destroy with no static"[/align]
Mad Dawg steps out onto the stage wearing a scarlet and gray "Beware of Dawg" shirt with the sleeves cut off. He looks out into the sea of fans and raises the Global and World Heavyweight Championships up high, garnering a pop from the fans in attendance. He then looks towards the ring and marches his way down the ramp.

"Now victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten
I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell!
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness!)
'Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty
Cut the cord!"[/align]
Mad Dawg reaches the ring and climbs up the stairs. He steps between the ropes and enters the ring before walking over to the corner. He pulls himself up to the middle turnbuckle and raises both of the Dual Crown Championships over his head.
QT: And his opponent, he is the current reigning and defending FIW Dual Crown Champion MMMAADDDDD DDDDDAAAAWWWWWWGGGGG!
Quinn barely has time to finish her announcement of the FIW Dual Crown Champion as Cage attacks Mad Dawg before the bell can even sound! He hammers Mad Dawg with right hands and knocks him down. Cage pulls up Mad Dawg and thunders in a right hand that sends him staggering back to the ropes. Cage clotheslines Mad Dawg over as if he was in contention for the Fighting Spirit Championship earlier.
JH: Cage with hard right hands before this match has even begun!
CM: Tony Clarke had to pick the belts up from the mat, he didnt even have chance to take them from Mad Dawg.
Cage slides to the outside and headbutts Mad Dawg so hard hes left holding his own head. Mad Dawg gets taken face-first into the ringpost and then into the steel steps. Cage has made a fast start as he tosses Mad Dawg over the railing and Cage follows him out into the sea of humanity. Cage Murdock is pummelling Mad Dawg, who has not had an opportunity to get out of the blocks. They fight through the crowd with Mad Dawg coming back with a few shots of his own.
JH: This match may not even happen! Its chaotic, its Anarchy!
CM: This is Anarchy in the UK!
A host of officials and referees are out to try and calm this down but they dont show any signs of that as they come back over the barricade to ringside. Mad Dawg slams Cages head into the announce table, causing Hitchen and Chip Martin to flee. Mad Dawg has taken over and brings Cage around the ring to scoop slam Murdock on the floor. Mad Dawg shoves a cameraman down and begins choking Cage out with what looks to be a deflated inflatable banana. He tosses it back into the crowd before leading Murdock to the entrance ramp. Mad Dawg sends Cage into the crowd now and Cage eats a mouthful of the barricade in the front row. Mad Dawg looks for a piledriver or a powerbomb but Cage backdrops him back into ringside.
JH: This is out of hand!
CM: I see Crazy Man Ken himself at ringside, is he going to get between these two guys?
As Chip Martin is questioning the presence of the General Manager, they have made their way into the isle way and Cage lands a low blow on Mad Dawg. Cage sends Mad Dawg sprawling with a solid right hand and he hits a vertical suplex on the ramp. Both men are slow to their feet, when they do get there Mad Dawg nails the first person he sees and that happens to be Danger Mark Fisher, living up to his nickname.
JH: This is a rare sight, so many officials and referees trying to just get these guys back in the ring to start this match officially.
CM: Thats what Im telling you, it truly is Anarchy in the United Kingdom!
Cage lines up Mad Dawg for a haymaker but the Champion ducks and road agent Ethan Adams takes the shot. They have now reached the entrance itself and Cage waffles Mad Dawg with a fire extinguisher. If this match had started, they would have been counted out or disqualified already but the bell has never sounded. Cage slugs Jesse King for good measure just because he can and then he gets in the face of Crazy Man Ken!
CM: I know hes crazy but hed have to be suicidal to get in the middle of these two!
JH: Ive never tried to stop a fight in the street, Im always worried theyll both turn on me.
Finally they begin to head back to the ring with both men trading blows in the wildest brawl youre likely to see on British shores for some time. Cage tosses Mad Dawg into the ring and slides in after him carrying a Welsh flag, handed to him by a fan. Cage uses the flag to choke Mad Dawg! Mad Dawg fights him off, he lands boots to the stomach and clotheslines Cage out to the floor. Mad Dawg lifts Cage up, then drops him down on the steel steps. This looks like total chaos as a camera catches site of Fisher, Ethan Adams and Jesse King all being led away. At the behest of Crazy Man Ken, the bell rings to signal this match has officially started.
JH: I was going to say this wont be a technical masterpiece but youve seen that already.
Both are now back in the ring and sizing each other up; both are sporting a grin like they rather enjoyed that little outing before this match officially got underway. Cage Murdock steps back into a turnbuckle and removes the top buckle pad. He tosses it down to ringside and Mad Dawg simply shrugs his shoulders, he does the same on his side of the ring. Mad Dawg circles around Cage, he tackles him and forces him back to a neutral corner (i.e. one with the turnbuckle pad still on). Mad Dawg is going for the legs but Cage hammers away.
JH: Mad Dawg might have talked about a lack of focus for Murdock coming into this but you know as well as I do, when that bell sounds, Cage Murdock is all business.
CM: Thats just bait-and-switch by Mad Dawg, he wanted Cage to come out of his shell and he tried to provoke him.
Murdock mauls Mad Dawg in the corner, sending Mad Dawg down to a knee. He slams knees in across Mad Dawgs chiselled stomach and chest. Mad Dawg steps through the ropes, escaping to the floor but Murdock follows him. Murdock tries to send Mad Dawg into the ringpost but Mad Dawg blocks, as does Cage. Cage slams Mad Dawgs head into the ring apron before tossing him back inside. Cage takes his time stepping over the top rope and he chokes Mad Dawg against the ropes with his boot. Cage keeps things in his favour, kicking Mad Dawg to the outside and again they head to ringside.
JH: Cage Murdock won this title opportunity at Rise of a Legend when he survived the Panoptican.
CM: That was back on April 1st in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Murdock shoves Mad Dawg into the steel steps, dislodging them. As referee Tony Clarke fixes the steps, Murdock slams a chair down on Mad Dawgs back. We head back into the squared circle, where Cage connects with a Howlin' Mad Rush and covers for the first time in this match.

KICK OUT![/align]
Cage picks Mad Dawg up all the way into the air and a military press position. He calls for the spinebuster but Mad Dawg rakes his face. Mad Dawg drops down on his feet behind Cage, he hops up on Cages back and rakes his face. Mad Dawg now bites Murdock! Mad Dawg slams a boot into Cages knee and hits a single-leg trip. Cage is down and Mad Dawg drives a hard elbow into his inside thigh. Mad Dawg snaps the leg and uses the bottom rope for a sit-down splash to the leg.
CM: Can you hear Murdock howling in pain each time he did that???
JH: Crazy Man Ken has obviously told the referee to relax the rules, he wants a clear winner in this match.
Mad Dawg actually busts out some solid wrestling, he attempts a rough version of a figure-four but as soon as he applies it, Cages long arms allow him to grab the bottom rope. The Whole Reffin'Show Tony Clarke breaks it up. Mad Dawg releases the hold and stomps away on the bad leg. Mad Dawg grabs the leg once more but Cage reaches up and lands a thumb to the eye to create some separation.
JH: It was all Cage in the early going, up until the thumb to the eye, Mad Dawg was in control.
CM: Mad Dawg is finding a way to deal with this huge man.
Murdock kicks Mad Dawg back into a turnbuckle and Mad Dawg hits the back of his head on one of the exposed turnbuckles. Cage gets back up to his feet assisted by the top rope but hes hobbling, he pulls Mad Dawg into a short-arm clothesline. Mad Dawg slips to the outside and drags Cage with him as far the ring apron. He rams Cages leg down into the apron before wraps it against the ringpost, old school style.
JH: That could end the match right there!
Mad Dawg ties an extension cord around the ringpost and then ties it to the leg of Cage hes been focused on. Referee Tony Clarke is letting it go as Cage smashes Mad Dawg across the face with his free leg. Cage tries to get away but hes tied up, he stumbles into a series of forearm smashes by the defending Dual Crown Champion. Mad Dawg beats Cage down to the mat, then slips outside to pick up a steel chair.
CM: Same steel chair as Cage Murdock used earlier.
JH: How apropos.
He tries to use the steel chair but Cage uses his free leg to boot Mad Dawg away and he drops the chair. Cage reaches for it but as he gets his hand on it, Mad Dawg stomps on his hand! Mad Dawg picks up the chair and three time he uses the edge to jab it down on the injured leg. Mad Dawg picks Cage up just enough to hit a respectable sidewalk slam. Mad Dawg is uncharacteristically heading to the turnbuckle with the chair tucked under his arm. He gets up to the top rope before Cage shakes the ropes and Mad Dawg crotches. Cage launches Mad Dawg half way across the ring!
JH: Everything is happening in that corner because Cage Murdock is tied like a prize hog at the village fair.
Reading the commentators mind, Cage unties himself. Cage chokes Mad Dawg with the cord before he can barely picks him up for a belly-to-belly suplex due to the bad leg. Cage reaches across to cover.

KICK OUT![/align]
JH: Only the second pinfall attempt, that tells me that this has been all about punishing the other man.
Cage hurls Mad Dawg across the ring with an irish whip and he strikes one of the padless turnbuckles! Mad Dawg goes down and Cage meets him there with a fist drop. Cage drops a knee down from his good leg across Mad Dawgs chest.
JH: You can talk about the recent roads these men have taken, Mad Dawg lost out to Johnny Amazing on ReVolt while Cage Murdock came within an eyelash of losing to young Logan Krueger.
CM: Forget all that, this match is about a fight, you saw it right at the start and now its generated into this war.
JH: Cage Murdock wants to brawl, Mad Dawg is set on taking the vertical base away from the near 7-footer.
Murdock scoops Mad Dawg up and hits snake eyes but on a corner with a turnbuckle pad, Mad Dawgs head snapping back. Cage looks at the turnbuckle and then looks across the ring to see the exposed bolt. Cage picks up Mad Dawg, hes on a wobbly leg but he gets over there only for Mad Dawg to counter and send Murdocks head into the bolt! Mad Dawg gets on the hop to knock Murdock down with a running shoulder block. Mad Dawg grabs an arm, he wrenches it and hits a kick across his face. Before Cage can go down, Mad Dawg lands a gutbuster and covers.
JH: Both these men are no stranger to groups but they are alone tonight.
CM: GAG just ended and Mad Dawg knows all about the Urban League and the Black Label Society.

JH: Mad Dawg is building momentum.
CM: Each time the kick out is weaker and that time he barely got a shoulder up!
Mad Dawg applies a sleeper hold, hes thinking Euthanasia but Cage drops down into a modified jawbreaker. Cage slowly makes his way back up to his feet, where Mad Dawg is still doubled over. Cage lifts Mad Dawg onto his shoulders for the Murder Rack but instead of dropping him down, he climbs the top rope with him on his shoulders! Cage is fighting back the pain as he now reaches the top turnbuckle.
JH: This is insane!
CM: What strength, what power! Cage is a monster!
Cage takes a deep breath, as does Mad Dawg I expect, Cage leaps down to the arena floor and HITS THE MURDER RACK THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
JH: No, dont do that!
CM: Holy Sh*t!
Murdock is also down, he landed hard down at ringside and so is Chip Martin. Tony Clarke checks on the health of both men, hes practically got the X sign in the air already as Cage begins to stir. We cut briefly backstage to see Logan Krueger, watching on, he has demanded a rematch with Murdock. Back to the action, its clear Cage has a banged up leg and is clutching his lower back as he crawls for Mad Dawg. Mad Dawg nods his head to the referee that he can continue as Cage drags him forward so he can slug him across the shoulder blades. Cage pulls the deadweight of Mad Dawg up and places him back under the bottom rope.
JH: Chip Martin is still down here and Cage Murdock is about to win the FIW Dual Crown for the first time! Mad Dawg is lifeless!
Cage edges into the ring after Mad Dawg and its game over for the Dual Crown Champion. Cage Murdock signals that hes had enough, he looks to shoot Mad Dawg into the ropes but Mad Dawg collapses to the mat. Cage tries again to pick him up but Mad Dawg turns him inside out with a back slide!

Tony Clarke didnt see the foot, he was concentrating on the shoulders! Mad Dawg isnt even aware, he exits the ring and gets handed his belts on the outside. His hand is raised as Cage looks around.
JH: Cage had his foot on the ropes at a count of two but referee Tony Clarke missed it!
CM: In the backslide position his long legs reached the bottom rope I cant believe were ending the night like this.
Mad Dawg celebrates holding the Dual Crown titles high in the air. Cage Murdock sits in the ring, his leg outstretched to touch the rope. He knows what happened even if Tony Clarke and Mad Dawg dont as Anarchy in the UK comes to a close on the smiling face of the man still in possession of the Dual Crown.

"I'M NOT A SPACEMAN
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND
I NEVER REALLY DID
FIT IN WITH THIS WORLD[/align]
The lights flash red as Zombie Black makes his way out onto the stage, arms out to his sides. Everyone's attention is drawn to the Grand Prix holder, who is smirking broadly through mussed facepaint.
JH: "It's Zombie Black! Fresh off his loss of the Undisputed International Championship, Zombie Black is looking to cash in!"
CM: "Now's the time!"
He stutter-steps toward the end of the stage, then backs up. THEN BREAKS INTO A RUN! Then stops. He laughs, clapping his hands, but Mad Dawg isn't amused. He crouches into a fighting stance, handing his Dual Crown Championship to Tony Clarke (who has to fend it off from Cage Murdock) and motions for Zombie to "bring it!" A stagehand offers Black a mic, and he takes it, putting it to his lips as the music fades away.
"Ohhhhh no no no. No no no no no. I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction, Mad Dawg. I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction of being correct! I just... gotta keep you on your toes. Y'know?"
Dawg relaxes a bit... a bit. But he knows better than to trust Zombie Black.
"Nah, nah. I'm just comin' out here... to call my fuckin' shot! I want THAT. That there! No, not Tony fuckin' Clarke! THE DUAL CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP!"
The crowd cheers, and Zombie runs a hand through his hair, fluffing it up even higher.
"July TWENTY-SECOND! La PLAZA DE TOROSSS!! SUMMER. OF. SIN."
He tosses the mic back to the technician, gives Dawg the 'ol Double Deuce and nods to Cage before raising his hands to the HUUUUGE mixed reaction from the fans.
CM: "You heard it here first, folks! July 22nd, Zombie Black will become the Dual Crown Champion!"
JH: "Maybe, Chip! Just maybe. He has a hard road to hoe ahead of him, and he'll have to beat the man who holds the title! Be sure to tune in and watch the first steps on that road, WEDNESDAY NIGHT! On FIW ReVolt! We'll see you there, thank you everyone!"
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND

The lights flash red as Zombie Black makes his way out onto the stage, arms out to his sides. Everyone's attention is drawn to the Grand Prix holder, who is smirking broadly through mussed facepaint.
JH: "It's Zombie Black! Fresh off his loss of the Undisputed International Championship, Zombie Black is looking to cash in!"
CM: "Now's the time!"
