Background:

Times have changed in JackSlater Promotions. President Watts, for years now the firm but fair leader of the promotion, has seen his condition deteriorate over the last year. Some consider it very fortunate that Watts hired former thorn in his side Tammy Sytch, destitute after her daddy’s money was lost defending her in a lawsuit stemming from Summerfest 29, as a secretary. While the job initially seemed degrading to Sytch, which Watts reveled in, the cowboy’s health began deteriorating as he made bizarre decisions that left people concerned for his mental state, such as looking into starting a football league and booking a ladder match with nothing above the ladder. Requiring help, he promoted Miss Sytch to his Executive Assistant. Watts began withdrawing from even the backstage area as Miss Sytch stepped into a leadership role, speaking for Watts and punishing those who questioned her newfound authority.

A crisis occurred as the flamboyant head of the wrestler’s union founded before Summerfest XXX, given a share of revenues by Watts, absconded to The Baja with a significant portion of the promotion’s funds. As fans became increasingly disillusioned with the direction of JSP, with underhanded and handsome wrestlers seeing their status rise for seemingly no reason, money dwindled and Miss Sytch brought in a series of wealthy investors – Billionaire Ponzi Scheme operator Ted DiBiase, love-struck promoter Motoko Baba, new age tech guru Jim Theranos, formerly known as Jimmy Jacobs – to help out. To the shock of fans, Sytch rolled a seemingly non-responsive Watts out to the ring in a wheelchair, where, after having been dropped by bumbling “executives” Johnny Ace and Terry Taylor, he was eventually coaxed by Miss Sytch into signing over partial control of the company to the her new ruling council. Dark times have followed for many of JackSlater Promotions’ fan favourites.

Optional Pre-Show: Marking the Demise of the High Horsemen

Spoiler

Wrestling’s High Horsemen – Buck Zumhofe, Grizzly Smith, Terry Garvin, Steve Gatorwolf, Bill Armstrong, Ken Wayne, and Hardbody Harrison – left JackSlater Promotions several months ago in pursuit of a promotion where rules didn’t exist, logic had no place, and grandstanding was encouraged. Though the High Horsemen often made efforts to show up once again and draw attention to their departure, fans did not miss them and their dedication to all things except wrestling. It has been revealed that this motley crew of aspiring wrestling philosophers and moral beacons eventually rode their high horses straight off a cliff, into obscurity and also the very sharp rocks below. Some lingered on painfully but in the end there were no survivors. Though they are not missed and attempts to create a highlight package proved impossible, JackSlater Promotions will mark their timely demise with a quick ringing of the bell and the blowing of a slide whistle to remind the fans of how much worse things could be.

Alex Wright vs. Buddy Rose vs. Kento Miyahara (With Johnny Ace)

In an attempt to pursue the female demographic while eyeing global expansion for JackSlater Promotions, Miss Sytch has decided to begin the card with a few of her “pretty things” she’s gathered from around the world. It’s a battle of the boy toys as Das Wunderkind Alex Wright will take on newcomer and aspiring Japanese ace Kento Miyahara, with Director of Executive Relations Johnny Ace, one of Bret Hart's casualties, sent in by Motoko Baba as his guide, and American Playboy Buddy Rose in a fast paced match that is sure to set pulses racing and hearts fluttering around the world.

Intercontinental Championship Match: Tully Blanchárd (Champion) vs. Chad Gable

President Bill Watts had been trying to strip longstanding Intercontinental champion Tully Blanchard of his title due to Blanchard’s years long refusal to defend his title against worthy opponents. Blanchard evaded Watts’ plan by dropping a bombshell – he was in fact born in Calgary, and as a “Canadian” he felt discriminated against by the all-American President. As Watts grew visibly weaker, business savvy Miss Sytch convinced him to leave the new, denim-clad Blanchard as champion and hire a bevy of Canadian stars. An appeased Blanchard, “as Canadian as maple pie eh”, has gone on to embrace Canadiana. Cutting promos in both English and what he believes to be French about how he represents all the Canadian fans from Toronto all the way to Montreal, saying sorry sarcastically after defeating his outclassed opponents, boasting of being friends with the President of Canada, and proudly wearing a jersey of Canada’s team – the Vancouver Canucks, Blanchard seems to be a changed man. After Miss Sytch gave him permission to select his next challenger Blanchard finally settled on Chad Gable, the smallest man on the roster and a proud American who has represented his country in international competition. Blanchard has been mercilessly attacking Gable, battering “les shrimp” as they allegedly say in Quebec and laughing that it will probably cost him a fortune to pay his medical bills in the United States, while also accusing him rather baselessly of being a gun-toting, bigoted, bible thumping, culturally ignorant, overly patriotic American idiot. Gable has borne these insults with quiet dignity and at Summerfest plans to exact revenge by taking the title back to the United States and stopping the man giving mass exposure to the rarely discussed Ugly Canadian stereotype.

One Minute Backstage Interview with Chris Jericho

Dean Malenko vs. Sammy Guevara (With Kamille and Terry Taylor)

GTV has been causing turmoil in JackSlater Promotions for nearly a year now. The increasingly popular webseries sponsored by Jim Theranos has been highlighting the seedy underbelly of the promotion through its various “found footage” videos, including scandals such as:

Buff Bagwell having Mother call in sick for him
Christian bathing in a tub of self-tanner, unaware of its horrid appearance on HD television cameras
The secret truth of Val Venis’ relationship with his valets and “co-stars” Cutie Suzuki and Mayumi Ozaki
Finlay drinking non-Irish coffee with his potato breakfast
Bret Hart’s house reeks of old man stink, leading to much mocking from his neighbour The Shrieking Sheik
Jericho and Gable discussing the best shoe lifts on the market and revealing their real heights
Kamille’s foot based Patreon, which has since been promoted on GTV; Also that Bobby Eaton is a Patron
Gino Hernandez haggling with a used car salesman over his “new” Cadillac
Dr. Death Steve Williams does not have a doctorate but rather a Master’s Degree in Art History
Bill Watts blasting someone on the phone for daring to bring up his “god danged bastard of a son”
William Regal excusing himself from a meeting to enjoy his afternoon tea only to drink a can of Pepsi and eat some pudding with a soup spoon rather than a dessert spoon
Eden Stiles kissing a man with the world’s ugliest tattoo
Marty Jannetty flirting online with a young woman who is reputed to be a very close relation to him
Tully Blanchard struggling to memorize the Canadian anthem in both French and English
Johnny Ace and Motoko Baba shopping for Mr. and Mrs. matching fanny packs
Owen Hart catfishing computer expert Terry Taylor and spiking President Watts’ chili with hot sauce
Buddy Rose weighing himself and revealing that he is in fact not a slim, trim, 217 pounds

Despite these truly stunning revelations, the most damning reveal was that Dean Malenko is in fact not a renowned ladies man and international man of mystery often lovingly referred to as Double Ho Seven, but rather a happily married father of three. His career in tatters, Malenko re-emerged as The Ice Man. After revealing that Guevara, was behind GTV by catching him as he live streamed an “unplugged” concert featuring Jericho and Jarrett, Malenko has set out to stretch Guevara until he begs for mercy.

Trillion Dollar Trio Championship Match: The Bohemian Club: Ted DiBiase and William Regal and Gino Hernandez (With Monsieur Duprée) vs. Mitsuharu Misawa and Genichiro Tenryu and Kototenzan (John Tenta) (With Johnny Ace)

The Trillion Dollar Trios belt, donated by DiBiase, is on the line as The Bohemian Club defends against Motoko Baba’s imports with a one million dollar (or ten million yen should DiBiase win) wager on the line. Ted DiBiase, one of JackSlater Promotions’ new investors, has made it his mission to increase the promotion’s value and saw to classing the joint up by bringing in a touch of class with Lord William Regal and a wealthy up and comer in Handsome Gino Hernandez, mysteriously banned from the promotion by President Watts when he was still active despite the lobbying of Tully Blanchard. DiBiase’s loss to Bret Hart further incentivize him to bring in the trios belt and he has encouraged other wealthy wrestlers to do the same. His French man-servant, Monsieur Duprée, is on the premises to assure that things do not get unseemly. Baba’s group is led By Misawa, disgruntled about his previous JSP run and eliminated from singles competition due to his defeat at the hands of Bret Hart. Tenryu is helping his stablemate out and has brought in his new protégé, Kototenzan. The former Earthquake John Tenta, a victim of Steiner's reign of terror who has yet to fully recover mentally after he came in as part of the Canadian influx, was brought in by Tenryu due to their shared sumo background. Tenryu has pulled rank on Tenta several times, smacking him stiffly for failing to lower the ropes for his superiors or trying to speak in English. This harsh discipline has drawn long hard stares from the Canadian big man. Johnny Ace will be there at Motoko Baba’s behest to ensure that her representatives are respectful and to translate as required, despite his rather limited Japanese vocabulary.

One Minute Backstage Interview with Owen Hart

Last Man Standing Match: Fit Finlay vs. Eddie Gilbert (With Missy Hyatt)

Miss Sytch has looked at the key demographics and decreed that JackSlater Promotions needs a women’s wrestling division in order to appeal to the legions of wrestling fans whom she believes want to ogle barely clothed women under the guise of enjoying their wrestling. No one seemed better suited to the job of training these wrestlers than Fit Finlay, recently retired after having his body and ego severely bruised in a match with Scott Steiner. Finlay’s first trainee has been Missy Hyatt, the spoiled rich girl with feathered hair and padded shoulder jackets with miniskirts, who has thus far gotten by on her looks but has been selected by Miss Sytch as the ideal first candidate to be trained. This development did not sit well with her partner and paramour at Hot Stuff International, Eddie Gilbert, who wanted Hyatt at his side or in his corner at all times. Hyatt has been making great strides in the ring and even appeared in a few training vignettes in her cut off sweat shirts and leg warmers, but she has also no showed some Gilbert matches and been too sore to lower the ropes for Gilbert upon his entrance to the ring. Her failure to utilize her loaded Gucci purse to assist Gilbert in a match with Christian further enraged Hot Stuff. After the loss Gilbert grabbed Hyatt and harshly threw her into the Vector W2 that he typically drives to ringside and sped off in a cloud of exhaust to the loud jeers of the JSP faithful.

Gilbert initially wore uneasy smiles when dealing with Finlay which progressed to disdainful scowls as he has walked up to his limo only to find Finlay sitting with Hyatt discussing wrestling, found them standing close together in the concession line whispering about wrestling, and even sitting ringside together… discussing wrestling. The happiness that Hyatt seems to get from wrestling and her training with the man she dubbed “more rugged than Fit” seems to matter not to Gilbert. Convinced that Hyatt has no place in the ring and that no man actually wants to talk to her just about wrestling, Gilbert took matters into his own hands by donning his neon semi rimless sunglasses before blasting Finlay with his patented fireball, even burning off the Irishman’s greasy mustache, when he found him poolside with Hyatt once again discussing wrestling. Only a quick leap into the pool saved Finlay from dire damage. Gilbert has vowed to beat Finlay in the ring, in the stands, the parking lot, and even at the concession stand in a Last Man Standing match that he feels will prove once and for all where Hyatt’s priorities should be. Finlay has vowed to defeat Gilbert while expressing that Hyatt’s agency alone should dictate what she does and who she does it with.

State of the Promotion Address – The Ruling Council addresses the fans

Jim Theranos will lead the ruling council and associates through a concise PowerPoint presentation detailing the new immersive initiatives JackSlater Promotions is undertaking in order to increase customer engagement with the product and find innovative new revenue streams. Terry Taylor, Theranos' assistant and a victim of Bret Hart, will assist.

Val Venis (With Cutie Suzuki and Mayumi Ozaki) vs. 2 Cold Scorpio vs. Marty Jannetty vs. La Parka (With Salina de la Renta)

Vendettas abound among some of JackSlater Promotions’ most eclectic figures. Val Venis, renowned for his crossover appeal in two industries, was pulsating with pent up aggression after seeing a GTV segment in which Miss Sytch escorted 2 Cold Scorpio out of “her” office and dreamily giggled that from that point on she’d have to call Val “the little Valbowski”. Scorpio himself has been disgruntled ever since his debut promo was ruined as a red-eyed and grinning Marty Jannetty walked through the background of an otherwise intense promo and laughed at the camera while shooting a thumbs up as wafts of smoke followed from behind him. Marty himself has a bone to pick. He had previously been fired yet again by Bill Watts after he, while in a chemically altered state, freaked out backstage when “a literal freakin skeleton” walked by and spooked him so badly that he disappeared for days. Having convinced Miss Sytch to hire him back by helping her fulfill one of her teenage dreams, he’s vowed revenge on La Parka for ruining what was sure to be a big time run in JSP. The Chairman La Parka has been hunting for Val Venis as well after he propositioned La Parka’s manager, Salina de la Renta, by crudely asking her if she wanted a real boning for once in his new crossover film – No Ho’s Barred. Desperate to get the feuding men out of her hair, Miss Sytch has washed her hands of each of the men and thrown them into one match to settle their differences.

Owen Hart vs. Chris Jericho (With Smith Hart, Bruce Hart, Keith Hart, Helen Hart, and Diana Hart sitting ringside near his corner)

Chris Jericho has made his triumphant return to “save” JackSlater Promotions as part of the Canadian invasion and has stressed to the legions of fans that he is now the best in the world at what he does. A calm and confident Jericho has set out to right some past wrongs before he pursues the heavyweight championship, with his sights first set on the Harts. Jericho has mentioned how he once looked up to the Harts as an aspiring Canadian wrestler, but when he turned 18 and went to the Hart brothers wrestling school all they taught was how to write a cheque as they droned on about their glory days in between taking liberties with their trainees. Now an international superstar and with the backing of good friend Ted DiBiase, Jericho has purchased the Hart mansion, turning the famed Dungeon into the Lion’s Den recording studio for Fozzy and friends like Jarrett. He has also hired the hapless Hart brothers, penniless and without a clue after their father died of shame and they jealously cast out their brother Bret, to work as his chauffeurs, butlers, and bathroom attendants as Helen bakes for him all day and Diana follows him around clapping.

The youngest Hart brother has been an exception, as Jericho holds self-sufficient and talented Owen in very high regard as an inspirational figure, even going the wrestling hipster route by saying that he is “even better than Bret”. Still, the prankster who proudly called himself The Black Hart has become increasingly uncomfortable with Jericho’s treatment of his family. Owen has stopped laughing at Jericho’s abuse of his family after Jericho chastised him to stop fraternizing with the help while he attempted to visit his mother and after a close call in his classic match with Bret at May Day Massacre, in which Bret risked his career by intentionally causing a no contest that would allow Owen to continue as a singles wrestler. The youngest Hart has seemingly become a different man. Owen’s pranks have increasingly centered on Jericho - tampering with his scarves, light up jackets, tour bus, and even with the scheduling of Jericho’s signing tour for his 8th autobiography - until Jericho could take no more. Family honour is on the line as Owen Hart sets out to prove that even the Black Hart is in the right place sometimes. Jericho may own the Hart House, but Owen has declared that he’ll never own the Hart family legacy.

One Minute Backstage Interview with Scott Steiner

Tag Team Championship Match: The Jeff Jarrett Experience (Champions Jeff Jarrett and Scott Norton, with Colonel Rob Parker) vs. The Reckoning (Bobby Eaton and Dr. Death Steve Williams)

Desperate times have created a new partnership as Bobby Eaton and Dr. Death Steve Williams have come together to form The Reckoning. Scott Steiner broke the neck of Eaton’s previous partner, ending his career, leaving the man Miss Sytch dubbed “not so Beautiful Bobby” on his own. Dr. Death, long a Bill Watts favourite, saw his reputation tarnished after he was put on the shelf for months by an extended stay in the Steiner Recliner. Coming together as a team after securing Watts’ signature directly, a rare instance of anyone bypassing Miss Sytch, they have ascended the tag ranks. Country music superstar Jeff Jarrett, no longer allowed to participate in singles matches after submitting to Bret Hart, moved into the tag ranks and was given the tag titles, without even a match, by Miss Sytch and allowed to choose his fellow champion. Along with bodyguard to the stars Scott Norton, Jarrett has spent most of his time standing on the apron crooning his biggest hits for the “lucky” fans as Norton dominates in the ring. Jarrett may have been given the right, along with Fozzy, to record the theme music for every wrestler in JackSlater Promotions, but he may soon lose the right to call himself champion before the night is through. As The Jeff Jarrett Experience manager Colonel Rob Parker often says – Ain’t he great?!

Mask Match: Christian vs. Andrade Almas (Special Guest Referee Atlantis)

Fan favourite and burgeoning main eventer Christian saw his momentum crash to a halt as Miss Sytch rose to power. Despite bringing his three Cs – Christian, Charisma, and Canada – to JackSlater Promotions, Miss Sytch deemed Christian an eyesore and threatened to enact the Ugly Laws from American history to ban Christian from appearing in JSP. A brutal Steiner Screwdriver in a title match forced matters and Christian was required to wear a blue mask over his mangled face if he desired to continue in the promotion. His claims that he has healed have fallen on deaf ears with Miss Sytch as she has dismissively shooed him away.

Andrade Almas has had a very different experience. A favourite of Miss Sytch, and dubbed her “hot tamale”, Almas saw himself put in favourable matches and pushed quickly through the ranks. After his former manager and translator was fired, largely due to a fit of jealousy from the Executive Assistant, Almas began practicing English and cutting short promos in front of fans. Miss Sytch put an end to this, assuring Almas that no one was buying a ticket to hear what he had to say and that all he had to do was stay sweaty and pretty as he ran around the ring “like a good little Mexican jumping bean”. Growing increasingly disillusioned, Almas has looked to his past and desires to prove that his talent alone is what brings him success at the grandest promotion in wrestling. A Mask Match has been set up, as Sytch and the ruling council hope to generate interest for JackSlater Promotions in the hot Mexican wrestling market, and either Christian will be allowed to wrestle without his humiliating plain blue mask or Almas will be allowed to don his mask again and become La Sombra once more. Atlantis, the man who initially claimed Almas’ mask and who has been inspired by Almas’ recent fire and passion, will be refereeing to ensure that if Almas wins his mask it is truly well earned.

One Minute Backstage Interview with Bret Hart

Heavyweight Championship Match: Scott Steiner (Champion, with Tammy Sytch and Buff Bagwell) vs. Brett Hart

As President Watts weakened and JackSlater Promotions began taking in investors, an issue emerged – no one in power, especially Executive Assistant Miss Sytch, was happy with the world heavyweight champion. A solution emerged when Scott Steiner was brought in, his new Big Poppa Pump persona a shock to those who only knew him as the freakishly strong and deceptively agile wrestling innovator. Steiner, with his amateur wrestling background, colossal physique, newly bleached hair, and extremely arrogant and abrasive attention-getting attitude, was the only man who appealed to each stakeholder within the company. Steiner won the championship in convincing fashion and has since been on a reign of terror, defeating all comers in brutal fashion and causing numerous injuries, all while cutting scathing promos and backing up even some of his most ridiculous threats. Miss Sytch and oiled up gigolo Buff Bagwell have almost always been found hanging onto Steiner’s every word and in some cases literally hanging off Steiner himself.

During Steiner’s reign of terror a new hope has emerged. Bret Hart has risen through JSP much to the chagrin of the ruling council. A desperate President Watts signed Hart to a massive contract when he was desperate for Canadian talent, and this contract became particularly onerous after Executive Assistant Miss Sytch began booking Hart in irrelevant opening matches or handicap matches and cryptically chastising him for wasting his "Sunny Days". With the ruling council making many cuts in order to meet the terms of Hart’s contract, including cutting ties with all other Harts, Bret found himself highly paid but on the bottom of the card and spurned by his own jealous family. The frustrated Hitman eventually offered a solution – he would work in JSP for free and even quit the promotion upon his first loss, provided that every wrestler he defeated would from that point on be barred from singles competition while Bret remained under contract. The council agreed and The Hitman began excellently executing the roster, decimating the underlings and friends of the ruling council over the last several months. As Hart mounted a massive winning streak, with the one exception being against his younger brother, and Steiner continued injuring both fan favourites and perceived villains alike, pressure mounted as the roster was stretched precariously thin. The ruling council has come up with the only solution agreeable to both sides– Hart vs Steiner, for the Heavyweight Championship, with Hart agreeing to talk privately with Watts, and only Watts, about renegotiating the terms of his contract should he win. Watts himself shocked the fans and especially Miss Sytch by slowly grabbing the pen from her hand and signing the match contract himself just one week prior to Summerfest, as The Hitman confidently stared down a flexing and swearing Steiner in the middle of the ring.

The Alternative Wrestling Federation presents: Vengeance

Live from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with commentary highlights from good 'ole JR Jim Ross.

Interview:

Spoiler

Jim Ross: "Well ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we're kicking things off here."

Matt Cardona: "Welcome everyone to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast live at Vengeance and I'm your host 'Always Ready' Matt Cardona, AKA the thousand dollar Broski, AKA the Michael Jordan of wrestling figure collecting. 'Bare Minimum' Bryan Myers is apparently running late, but we're not waiting for him. Tonight I'll be buying an ultra-rare one-of-a-kind LJN AWF Golden Age of Wrestling Corporal Kirchner prototype figure from the man himself. I've got my wallet full of Broski bucks and I'm going to beat 'Bare Minimum' Brian to the punch one more time."

MC: "Here with me is none other than AWF legend Corporal Kirchner and today he's brought his ultra rare LJN AWF Golden Age of Wrestling Corporal Kirchner prototype figure. So without further adieu, let's see that fig Corporal."

Corporal Kirchner: "I think I might have left it in my coat in the locker room. I can't seem to find it here in my bag."

MC: "What? Bro, you said you brought the fig?"

CK: "I did. I'm telling you it's back in my locker room."

JR: "Well folks, let's get tonight's pay-per-view started for real with our first match."

Evening Gown Match for the AWF Women's Championship
Alexa Bliss (C) with Robert Stone vs Chelsea Green
Bios:

Spoiler

Alexa Bliss: She may seem like a snotty little valley girl, but Alexa Bliss is as cunning in the ring as she is out of it. Arrogant, cocky and judgemental, she's not the most popular wrestler in the women's dressing room. That fact is compounded by her controversial "Moment of Bliss" show. What really matters though is that she can back it all up in the ring and has been the longest reigning Women's Champion in AWF history. Think current day Alexa Bliss.

Entrance Theme: "Bliss" by Muse

Robert Stone: AWF newcomer and the promotions first and thus far only agent, Robert Stone gets results. He led Chelsea Green to the top of the women's division contender rankings. Along the way Stone romanced Green and proposed marriage, a proposal she accepted. However lacking scruples and showing his cunning Stone broke of their engagement on the altar in the middle of the ring on Monday Nitro only to be seen on the titantron with his newest client and love interest, Alexa Bliss. Think current day Robert Stone.

Chelsea Green: The AWF's up and coming women's division wrestler, Chelsea Green had it all. The looks and the in-ring ability it takes to the Women's Champion. Her meteoric rise to the #1 contender spot saw her go on a ten match unbeaten run. However it all came crashing down when her heart was broken by her agent and fiancee' Robert Stone. Green says she's fine, but she's clearly become unhinged as is apparent by not only her behavior but also her appearance and her ever present accessory, one of many leftover bottles of champagne from her to have been wedding. Think Laurel van Ness on TNA.

Entrance Theme: "Crazy" by Patsy Cline

Match:

Spoiler

"Our first match tonight is going to be... titillating to say the least."

"And down to the ring comes the challenger Chelsea Green and she's looked more unhinged with every passing week since her former agent Robert Stone left her at the altar and has joined forces if you will with the Women's Champion Alexa Bliss. And hang on a minute here, while I'm no fashion expert, that looks more like a wedding dress that miss Green is donning than it does an evening gown"

"Well that's not blue moon of Kentucky, but Chelsea Green has given the crowd a nice look at what I guess you could call a moon of Bliss as she unsuccessfully tried to take off the champion's evening gown."

"Dammit, Robert Stone has just interfered with this match and it looks like he was offering a kiss from the apron for Chelsea Green when Alexa Bliss came in from behind and gave her a DDT. And now she's just landed Twisted Bliss. Oh, and here we go, she's taking that evening gown, well wedding dress, off of Chelsea Green."

"Now what is going on here folks. The damn match is over. They need to leave the poor girl alone."

Interview:

Spoiler

Matt Cardona: "Bro! You said it was in your coat? I NEED THAT FIG!"

Corporal Kirchner: "Take it easy, take it easy. I'll just go out to my car and..."

MC: "Wait, what's going on out there? What the hell are they doing to her?"

Jim Ross on commentary: "Dammit, Alexa Bliss is putting in some real shots here as that slimeball Robert Stone is holding Chelsea Green. But wait, what do we have here! It's Matt Cardona! Alexa Bliss has turned tail and run but Robert Stone's back is turned to the entrance ramp! Whoa, Matt Cardona is really taking Robert Stone to the wood shed!"

CK: "Hey Myers, where the hell is Cardona? He was freaking out about this action figure and now he's nowhere to be found? I just brought it in from my car"

Brian Myers: "Don't worry about it. I'll pay you for it. I can only offer you the bare minimum though because it's so old. How about fifty bucks?"

CK: "Are you kidding me? Done deal!"

JR: "And would you look at this. Matt Cardona is carrying Chelsea Green in his arms to the back."

"Our second match of the night here folks is an AWF first. It's the first ever 'Ratings Rumble' for the World Television Championship and we've got no loss of characters suitable for prime time with the 11 known AWF combatants set to take to the ring. However there are an additional five 'mystery' opponents who we don't know. So far we know that Abyss, Sanada, Bo, Chris Nowinski, Elias, Jim 'the Anvil' Neidhart, Hernandez, Mr Anderson, 'The Alpha Male' Monty Brown and the 'Billion Dollar Heir' Ted DiBiase Jr are the confirmed participants, but the mystery opponents are anybody's guess. On top of that we don't know what order any of the participants are coming out either. Now after the first participant comes out the clock will count down from one minute until the next participant comes out and so on. The last man in the ring after everyone else has been thrown over the top rope will be the new AWF Television Chamnpion."

ENTRANCE: "Well lucky us, here's out first competitor, it's that jackass Elias and something tells me we're going to be hearing any Johnny Cash tonight."

ENTRANCE: "Hold on a minute though, here's our second competitor and it's none other than Texas' own Kevin von Erich and the ladies are getting excited I can assure you."

ENTRANCE: "Oh great, and now here comes the pompous and arrogant Harvard graduate Chris Nowinski."

ENTRANCE: "I don't know what's going on here folks because that's Chris Nowinski's Havard theme again, but he's already in the ring. Wait a damn minute, it's Eugene! And here he comes to the ring with Nowinski's letterman's jacket, well he's got it on inside out, but it's the jacket he took from Nowinski on Monday Nitro when he beat Nowinski in that debate and match. Eugene is our first mystery opponent of the night and the crowd is loving this as he waves to the fans. And Nowinski is furious in that ring as he gestures to Eugene to take off the jacket."

ENTRANCE: "And here's our next opponent coming down the aisle, it's newest member of the AWF roster, all the way from Japan it's Sanada. Let me tell you folks, I think Sanada is a real wild card in this match."

ENTRANCE: "And here we have another big man on his way to the ring, it's LAX's very own Hernandez."

ENTRANCE: "Still no eliminations yet here folks as our next competitor is set for the ring. And it's Bo from the Wyatt Family."

ENTRANCE: "Well time is up yet again and, is this who I think it is? It is! It's Koko B Ware and Frankie! The crowd is loving this."

ELIMINATION: "Haha, and look at Eugene flapping his arms like he's Franky, but look out there as Nowinski from behind, but no, Eugene pulled down that top rope and Nowinski went over! Koko signaled for Eugene to look out as he was entering the ring and he surely helped keep Eugene alive there as Nowinski is fuming."

ENTRANCE: "Well now we're down a man, but here comes another competitor, it's "the Anvil" Jim Neidhart!"

ENTRANCE: "Running to the ring here is the "Alpha Male" Monty Brown.

ELIMINATION: "And look at the 'Alpha Male' and 'the Anvil' here folks, two big bulls. Whoa, did they just move the ring? Well they didn't move each other as they collided. And again, but this time 'the Anvil' took the worst of it. And look at this, Monty Brown just alpha bombed 'the Anvil' out of the ring! What an incredible show of strength as 'the Anvil' is eliminated."

ENTRANCE: "And our next Ratings Rumble participant here obviously needs on introduction as it's that loudmouth Mr Anderson introducing himself as usual."

ELIMINATIONS: "Oh and Hernandez has Koko B Ware up here, and it's a border toss! He just border tossed Koko out of the ring as he was flying like Frankie, but what's this? Eugene just came in from behind and put out Big Mex Hernandez! We're down to 6 competitors at the moment here folks."

ENTRANCE: "And what the hell is this, it's that sadistic clown Doink. He's the third mystery competitor! Just listen to that creepy music and poor Eugene isn't smiling anymore. He looks genuinely frightened at the sight of Doink."

ENTRANCE: "Now it's our next competitor, the Reverend Christopher Park."

ELIMINATION: "What the hell is Elias doing here folks? He's grabbed that guitar that was at ringside and he's just smashed Reverend Park over the head with it and Park is bleeding! But what's this? Park seems unfazed. He's got Elias up here and he just gave him the shock treatment. And what's this? He just chokeslammed Elias out of the ring and eliminated him!"

ENTRANCE: "Oh, now what's this?!? It's Gangrel! Here's our fourth mystery opponent here and we're going to have a real war here between Gangrel and Reverend Park, you can bet on it."

ENTRANCE: "And now it's our penultimate competitor, the man who bought his spot by paying Elias for it, the Billion Dollar Heir Ted DiBiase Jr. And he may have just bought himself the television championship."

ELIMINATIONS: "Whoa, and Reverend Park and Gangrel just eliminated one another as Gangrel went to clothesline Park and his momentum carried him over with him."

ENTRANCE: "So we're down to seven participants here with our final competitor and final mystery opponent about to come out here as the clock... well what's this? The clock has just changed...

And it's... wait a minute! Wait a minute! Could it be?!??!? I know that countdown. And look at the Nitrotron and look at the face on Mr Anderson. What does that say... 'save'... 'AWF', it says 'save AWF'... 'Y'... '2'... Oh my God, is he really here in the AWF? 'Y2...L'??? Y2L? But that's Chris... oh wait a goddamn minute, that's not... It's Lenny Lane!"

ELIMINATION: "Oh and will you look at this, Lenny Lane, or should I say Y2L, just eliminated Mr Anderson."

ELIMINATION: "Sanada just eliminated Y2Lenny Lane or whoever the hell he is now."

ELIMINATION: "And Doink just tricked Eugene there and out goes poor Eugene after such an impressive showing."

ELIMINATION: "But what's this? Monty Brown just knocked Doink over the top rope and almost into the first row seats! We're now down to five folks."

ELIMINATION: "Look at this! Sanada and DiBiase have just eliminated 'The Alpha Male.'"

ELIMINATION: "But now that snake DiBiase just dumped Sanada over too. We're down to the final three!"

"It looks as though DiBiase and Bo have some sort of alliance here and they're going to team up on Kevin von Erich."

ELIMINATION: "Oh, and look at that! Bo just double-crossed that arrogant ass DiBiase and threw him over!"

"Both men are drained at this point, especially Kevin von Erich who was the second entrant in this Ratings Rumble. Von Erich taking a risk here going to the top... but wait, Bo with an avalanche hip toss as Kevin wasn't fast enough getting off those ropes."

ELIMINATION: "Kevin has Bo in the claw here, but Bo backing away and they both go over the top rope, but Bo held on and landed on the apron as Kevin landed on the floor! Bo is the winner of the Ratings Rumble!"

Spoiler

NOTE, if you don't want to spoil mystery Rumble entrants read the match first.

Entrance Theme: Current Elias theme "Drift"

Kevin von Erich: From Texas' famous von Erich familiy, Kevin von Erich is one of the most popular wrestlers in the AWF thanks to his wrestling style and rugged good looks. No stranger to success he won multiple titles before coming to the AWF including WCCW World Heavyweight and WCCW Tag Team championships. He's also a two time AWF United States Champion. Technically sound and a high-flyer is a tough opponent for any competitor. Think prime WCCW Kevin von Erich, barefoot and white trunks.

Entrance Theme: "Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent

Chris Nowinski: Harvard graduate and collegiate wrestling champion Chris Nowinski is the self-proclaimed smartest man in the AWF. Nowinski is adept both on the debate stage and in the wrestling ring. Think WWE Chris Nowinski.

Entrance Theme: Chris Nowinski's WWE theme

Eugene: Living his dream to someday be a professional wrestler, fan favorite Eugene is one of the most happy-go-lucky members of the AWF roster. However many of his fellow AWF superstars look to take advantage of Eugene, but Eugene usually finds a way to come out on top. Think WWE Eugene.

Entrance Theme: "No Easy Way Out" by Robert Tepper

Sanada: One of the most recent additions to the AWF roster, Sanada makes his way from Japan. In Japan he held multiple titles and is considered to be a prospective contender for various AWF gold. Think Sanada with the big hair but also with the suit.

Entrance Theme: Sanada's theme from NJPW

Entrance Theme: "Insane in the Brain" by Cypress Hill

Bo: Bray Wyatt's brother Bo was the first member of the Wyatt Family stable. A very gifted wrestler he enjoyed a brief stint as the United States Champion, he's had little success since then. Formerly a fan favorite and always smiling, since coming under his brother's influence he never smiles anymore and in fact his long can often times hide his face altogether. However his ability in the ring has remained unaffected. In fact he's found a ruthless string never seen before in his early days in the AWF. Imagine Bo Dallas in the Wyatt family, he wears cut off jean shorts which are somewhat short and an unbuttoned flannel with the sleeves cut off.

Entrance Theme: Wyatt Family theme

Koko B Ware: An AWF veteran, Koko B Ware is back for the Ratings Rumble. He's not alone though as he's brought Frankie along with him. Think classic WWE Koko B Ware.

Entrance Theme: Koko B Ware theme

Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart: AWF veteran Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and his signature goatee are back for the Ratings Rumble. A former NFL football player can not only take a hit but he sure as hell can dish one out. While "The Anvil" can be a bit crazy but you can bet he's all business in the ring. Think WWE Jim Neidhart from his Hart Foundation days.

Entrance Theme: Hart Foundation theme

"The Alpha Male" Monty Brown: Former NFL footballer Monty Brown is one of the latest additions to the AWF roster. The former linebacker has been able to leverage his skills in a short amount of time and is undefeated in his first five AWF matches. A Ratings Rumble win would make his hot run even hotter. Think TNA Monty Brown with the leopard print trunks.

Entrance Theme: "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J

Mr Anderson: A man who needs no introduction to AWF fans, Mr Anderson has vowed to win the Ratings Rumble and give the fans what they really want, more of him on TV. Think WWE Mr Kennedy, but goes by Mr Anderson.

Entrance Theme: Mr Anderson theme from TNA

Doink: AWF's true clown, Doink isn't going to make your children laugh. In fact you might want to tuck them away when he's on. Don't let the getup fool you though, Doink is a solid in-ring wrestler witha penchant for violence.

Entrance Theme: Doink's heel theme

Reverend Christopher Park: Having only arrived in the AWF just over a year ago, Reverend Park, or Abyss depending the day and if he's been made to bleed, has made quite the name for himself most notably for his feud with the Billion Dollar Heir Ted DiBiase Jr. As his name Christopher denotes, he's a follower of Christ and wants to make wrestling entertainment about sporting aspects and fair play so that it's consumable for everyone. Thnk Joseph Park from TNA, but when he goes to the Abyss look he's TNA Abyss but the mask does not have the hair extensions and he's wearing less generic attire.

Entrance Theme: A somber version of "Amazing Grace" with a female vocal

Gangrel: Another AWF veteran and overall veteran wrestler, Gangrel leaves both fans and competitors unsure of his origins as many suspect he's a vampire. Indeed he only trains at night and has never been seen in broad daylight. Think WWE Gangrel.

Entrance Theme: Gangrel's theme

"The Billion Dollar Heir" Ted DiBiase Jr: One of the richest men in the World and the richest man in professional wrestling Ted DiBiase Jr is his father's son. Hated by almost the entire AWF universe, he's leveraged his vast wealth to get matches and even titles during his time in the organization. Still he's one of the more talented and well-rounded AWF superstars who can match up against any opponent. Thing prime WWE Ted DiBiase Jr, he wears black tights with gold leaf detailing and the billion dollar belt.

Entrance Theme: Of Mice & Men's cover of Pink Floyd's "Money"

Lenny Lane: One of the most smug and arrogant competitors in the AFW, Lenny Lane hasn't been seen in months. That of course doesn't mean that he hasn't been keeping his eye on developments and he believes the Television Championship is his destiny. Think WCW Lenny Lane but with black tighs.

Entrance Theme: Lenny Lane's AFW theme "Break Down Walls"

Josh Matthews: "Lance Storm, it was just over a year ago that you were victorious in that great ladder match to defend your North American tile. This year however you find yourself on the side of challenger as Johnny Kanyon lays claim to the title."

Lance Storm: "If I could be serious here for a minute Josh Matthews, it's the Canadian 105kg and over Championship in accordance with the Canadian metric system. It's not my fault that you don't understand the metric system. It's not my fault that even worse that idiot Johnny Kanyon can't do the math to convert 105 kilograms into pounds. It's not my fault the best wrestlers are from Canada. It's not my fault that I'm the best technical wrestler on earth. The American people, these fans, have tried to keep me down. Well tonight I'm going to bring dignity, honor, values and the maple leaf back to the title, that title being the Canadian 105kg and over Championship."

Mask vs Hair Casket Match
El Gringo Loco, "Love Machine" Art Barr vs Mil Muertes with Catrina
Bios:

Spoiler

El Gringo Lock "Love Machine" Art Barr: A terror in Mexico where he wrestled prior to coming to the AWF a few years back, Barr was the most successful "gringo" in Mexican wrestling. Despite his success he was hated by the vast majority of Mexican wrestling fans for his disparaging remarks about Mexico and his Mexican opponents. Still his talent is undeniable and he's held countless championships. However he's also unmasked many Mexican wrestlers including some legends and holds those masks in as high esteem as any championship he's ever held. A skilled technician as well as a high-flyer, he also isn't afraid to mix it up much less bend the rules. This is the maskless Art Barr of Los Gringos Locos.

Entrance Theme: "Magic Man" by Heart

Mil Muertes: Hailing from Mexico City where his entire family died from an earthquake when he was just 7 years old, Mil Muertes is an AWF newcomer. He came to the promotion from Mexico where he was the Heavyweight Champion for the past two years. Despite his mask, Muertes is your typical Luchador as he's much bigger. With his cold stare he's a man of few words which he leaves for his lover and valet Catrina. Think Mil Muertes of Lucha Underground.

Entrance Theme: "Animal Magnetism" by The Scorpions

Catrina: The sexiest woman in the AWF, Catrina hails from Mexico where she began managing Mil Muertes. Perhaps "manage" is the wrong word though as she seems to be the only person capable of controlling the brawler. Their relationship is more than just professional though and anyone who puts a hand on Catrina suffers a fate that only Mil Muertes can bring.

Match:

Spoiler

After collecting every mask he's ever encountered throughout his career, "Love Machine" Art Barr's reputation is known throughout the wrestling world. However his reputation may now come to haunt him as he is for the first time ever the recipient of a mask vs hair match challenge, this time from the monster Mil Muertes. However this isn't just any mask vs hair match, it's a mask vs hair casket match.

Muertes essentially beats Barr from pillar to post to casket which he introduces into the ring. Catrina eventually gives Barr the "lick of death" which signals for Muertes to end things, but she then kicks Muertes from behind right between the legs. Barr then takes over using the casket and eventually delivering three frog splashes before rolling Muertes into the casket for the win. In the ring Catrina gives Barr another "lick of death" before a long kiss. Barr then goes over to the casket to take Muertes' mask, but just as he gets there Muertes sits straight up. Barr with Catrina in tow flee the ring as Muertes gets out of the casket and slowly pursues them.

Triple Threat Match for the AWF New Jersey 462lb and over Championship
Johnny Kanyon (C) vs Lance Storm vs Pentagon Dark
Bios:

Spoiler

Johnny Kanyon: Being one of the best technical wrestlers in the business today perhaps is why Kanyon is so confident in his ability. Who better than Kanyon? At the moment very few as he is the United States Champion. However the New Jersey native's pedigree in life doesn't match his pedigree in the ring. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he didn't convert kilograms into pounds correctly and has mistakenly dubbed himself the New Jersey 462lb and over Champion. Think WCW Kanyon, with black tights and a denim jacket with the sleeves cut off.

Entrance Theme: "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop

Lance Storm: Pound for pound one of the best wrestlers in the AWF and indeed the World, the Canadian national, or perhaps nationalist, Storm is a very "serious" opponent for anyone. Storm has proclaimed himself the best technical wrestler on the face of the Earth. The former North American Heavyweight Champion, he'd renamed the title in accordance to the metric system to the Canadian 105kg and over Championship complete with the Maple Leaf on the title belt. Think WCW Lance Storm complete with the Maple Leaf tights.

Entrance Theme: Lance Storm's WCW theme

Pentagon Dark: This Mexican luchador is one of the best new wrestlers in the AWF. A superstar in Mexico, the dark and mysterious Pentagon is every bit as dark in the ring. A man of few words he let's his amazing in-ring ability do the talking. Think current AEW Pentagon Jr in terms of look and ability.

Entrance Theme: "Nightfear" which is a mashup of ""Thrill Switch" by Cut One (Pentagon's theme) and "NightCall" by Kavinsky

Match:

Spoiler

The self-proclaimed New Jersey 462lb and over champion, or is it the New Jersey 524lb and over champion as the number is ever changing and the champion can't do the math, Kanyon looks to defend his title. He'll have his work cut out for him though as former Canadian 105kg and over Champion Lance Storm and Mexican luchador enmascarado Pentagon are serious challengers to his title.

After an exciting encounter with high spots and submissions, Lance Storm regains his now Canadian 105kg and over Championship after Kanyon submits to the Canadian Maple Leaf.

Kota Ibushi: Arguably the best wrestler in the World today, Ibushi is one of the AWF's biggest stars and arguably the biggest star in all of Japan where the AWF is popular as a result. Currently the Intercontinental Champion, he's held every AWF title including a brief stint as World Heavyweight Champion. Think Kota Ibushi as you've seen him the past few years.'

Entrance Theme: "I Ran" instrumental by Flock of Seagulls

Pac "The Ripper: Think Pac as you see him in AEW now, but with a black cloak and black top hat that he wears to the ring. One of the best wrestlers in the AFW today, Pac is also one of the most dangerous. He uses his technical wrestling ability along with his high-flying moves, but he supplements that with a cutting edge brutality that wears down his opponents.

Fan favorite and Japanese national hero Kota Ibushi faces his toughest title challenge yet as Intercontinental Champion as he takes on Pac. Already dangerous, Pac's new persona as "The Ripper", which he debuted when he attacked Ibushi at an AWF Nitro live event from Tokyo that left some in the crowd in tears, has helped the dangerous opponent realize and even darker side.

Despite launching an impressive comeback and nearly retaining his title, Ibushi eventually succumbs to Pac's "Whitehall wrench" after being hit with the "black arrow". Multiple referees have to come to the ring to get "The Ripper" to break his hold on Ibushi who lays seemingly passed out in the ring as the new champion stands over him.

Rock n Roll Express (C) vs Harlem Heat vs Beer Money vs The Straight Edge Society
Bios:

Spoiler

Rock n Roll Express: The number tag in the AWF and in the World at the moment, The Rock n Roll Express are the five-time AWF World Tag Team Champions. With their natuarl chemistry they've turned tag team wrestling into an art form as they are masters of the quick tag and great double team moves. Their ability in the ring is match by their popularity outside the ring as wrestling fans, particularly of the female variety, blow the roof of the arena every time they come down to the ring. Think early to mid 80s Rock n Roll Express.

Entrance Theme: "Rock n Roll" by Led Zeppelin

Harlem Heat: One of the best tag teams in wrestling today has joined the already swollen tag team ranks of the AWF. While they've never before competed in AWF until very recently, they've been tag team champions three times in other promotions. Size, strength and speed, Harlem Heat are not only capable of standing up to any other tag team, but they're also capable of dominating teams. Think mid 90s Harlem Heat.

Entrance Theme: "Fight the Power" by NWA

Beer Money: One of the best tag teams in the business and the AWF, Beer Money are in their prime. Having won tag team titles in multiple territories, they've also been AWF World Tag Team Champions on three occasions. They've feuded with the Rock n Roll Express on more than occasion, but now find the swelling ranks of the AWF tag team division more competitive than in the past with title shots fewer and further in between.

Entrance Theme: Beer Money theme without lyrics (apart from the beginning)

The Straight Edge Society with Serena Deeb: While The Straight Edge Society is faction consisting of CM Punk, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson and Serena Deeb, it's also the name that Gallows and Anderson use for their tag team. Previously just know as Anderson and Gallows, they stuttered in the lower ranks of the AWF tag team division seemingly more interested in a night out on the town than AWF Tag Team Championship. Under the guidance of CM Punk and now clean and sober they've risen up the AWF tag team ranks to being top contenders. Anderson brings the agility and skill while Gallows brings the size and strength. Their finishing moves are the "Breathalyzer" (formerly the Boot of Doom) and the "Sobriety Test" (formerly the Magic Killer). Think Luke Gallows of The Straight Edge Society partnering with Karl Anderson who is in the Joey Mercury role and Serena Deeb accompanying them to the ring.

With the tag team titles hanging high above the ring and all tables, ladders, and chairs fair game, five-time champions The Rock n Roll Express face their toughest ever title defense against bitter rivals Beer Money, the dangerous Straight Edge Society and AWF newcomers Harlem Heat.

JR: "Let me tell you folks, the new champions Harlem Heat look like a force to be reckoned with here. They've got the size, speed and strength to take on anybody and were able to take it to the best tag teams in the... Wait a minute, what the hell is this?!?

Harlem Heat are starting to fight back though! They're giving what's for! It's Bo stepping in here though and he delivers a ladder shot to Stevie Ray. And another for Booker T. Now the Wyatts are getting a table. Rowan has Booker T up here... powerslam through the table! And what's this? Otis with a splash off the second rope onto Booker T. He might have busted ribs!

AWF North American Championship Match
The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes (C) with Stacy Rhodes vs Bray Wyatt
Bios:

Spoiler

Cody Rhodes: In terms of his look he's the Cody Rhodes of AEW today, but without the neck tattoo. When he's not in the ring he's wearing a suit. In the ring he's that very same Cody Rhodes. The golden boy and "franchise" of the AFW Rhodes is primed to be World Champion someday. He's got it all too including his beautiful wife Stacy (Stacy Kielber, now Stacy Rhodes) and his shiny United States Championship.

Entrance Theme: Cody Rhodes theme "Kingdom"

Stacy Rhodes: Stacy Kiebler, now the wife of Cody Rhodes, she is considered the most beautiful woman in wrestling. Every wrestler in the AFW dreams of having a wife like Stacy. While she always accompanies Cody to the ring, she rarely if ever gets involved. Still her presence alone can prove to be more than a distraction for the American Nightmare's opponents.

Bray Wyatt: In terms of look he's the very early Bray Wyatt of Florida wrestling and TNA, but in terms of physique he's the The Fiend. New to the AWF he and his Wyatt Family have made quite the splash and his promos are like nothing the AWF fans have ever seen.

Entrance Theme: Wyatt Family theme

Bo: Bray Wyatt's brother Bo was the first member of the Wyatt Family stable. A very gifted wrestler he enjoyed a brief stint as the United States Champion, he's had little success since then. Formerly a fan favorite and always smiling, since coming under his brother's influence he never smiles anymore and in fact his long can often times hide his face altogether. However his ability in the ring has remained unaffected. In fact he's found a ruthless string never seen before in his early days in the AWF. Imagine Bo Dallas in the Wyatt family, he wears cut off jean shorts which are somewhat short and an unbuttoned flannel with the sleeves cut off.

Cousin Otis: Bray Wyatt's cousin from northwestern Florida, Otis is a newcomer to the AWF. Despite being new to the promotion, he's already well known as he's used his size to brutal effect in the few matches he's been in. Think current day Otis Dozovic, but imagine him in the Wyatt Family. He wears black trunks, a cutoff denim jacket over a cutoff white t-shirt that looks like it's seen better days.

Rowan: Rowan is the first Wyatt Family member to join the group who wasn't directly related to Bray Wyatt himself. However Rowan is a childhood friend of Wyatt's when they grew up together in northwestern Florida. A monster in the ring whose loyalty to Bray Wyatt is beyond question. Think Rowan of the Wyatt Family with the green jumpsuit and white sheep mask.

The "Black Sheep": His identity is revealed in the match notes, but the Black Sheep is an imposing figure. At 6' 6" tall he's every bit the monster he seems to be. He has semi-curly hair that is somewhat long and his bangs somewhat cover his eyes. He wears old,dirty jeans, a dirty white tank top with a cutoff army shirt jacket over it.

Match:

Spoiler

Having made a big splash in the AWF since the arrival of his Wyatt Family, Bray Wyatt's target has been clear from the beginning. The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes. The champion hasn't back down from Wyatt and his "family", but the challenger has proved purposely elusive and unwilling to engage Rhodes on his terms. Stacy Rhodes, formerly Stacy Kiebler, is for the first time fearful for her husband's well being, and with good reason as Bray Wyatt is thus far an unknown quantity.

From the bell Cody takes it to Wyatt and puts on a real show. Cody is in his prime and he's just oozing confidence. However the rest of the Wyatt family, Rowan, Otis and Bo eventually head down to the ring. The Rock n Roll Express however come down to intercept them from giving Bray Wyatt a numbers advantage.

JR: "The Rock N Roll Express here are giving it to the Wyatts. Hang on a minute though folks. Who is that? It's a man with a black sheep mask on? Who the hell is that? He's got to be with the Wyatts. OH, and he just gorilla press slammed Ricky Morton onto the railing! And now he's just driven Robert into the post!" After a distracted Cody turns to face Wyatt again the challenger ducks his punch which connect with the referee. The rest of the Wyatt Family ascends into the ring.

"Cody is fighting them off here! He just knocked Otis off the apron. Bo is charging him though and... WOW, what a power slam by Cody as Bo rolls out of the ring. Rowan on the apron now, but Cody with an amazing disaster kick knocks him to the floor! But wait, that 'Black Sheep' is in the ring now and... he side slams Cody down to the mat."

"Bo helps the referee into the ring here. In the meantime Bray Wyatt has a limp Cody... Sister Abigal! Sister Abigail! And that has got to be it folks. Yes, dammit, Bray Wyatt is the new North American Heavyweight Champion."

"What the hell do they want with Stacy here now? You won the damn match, take your title and leave the damn ring. Otis has... put her down! Otis is carrying Stacy up the ramp as the Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family head to the back."

So I held a grudge and I did something about. I took your World Heavyweight belt..."

Sting: "Ooh! Hahahaha! You sure did take my belt Punk, but you left the ice cream bars!" Sting, somewhere in the bowels of the building, takes a big bite of his ice cream bar. "Damn, those are good, aren't they guys? What do you think Luke?" Camera turns around onto a passed out Luke Gallows with his tongue out and a beer bottle in his hand. "Whoops! Looks like Luke isn't here. I guess you were right Punk, when he drinks he turns into Festus! Hahahaha! But hey, at least he's got a drinking buddy. How's that Frose' Serena? Oh, dammit! I forgot the hair." Sting pulls out a big blonde wig and puts it on Serena Deeb's head. "Oops I did it again! Wrong one. This is your's isn't it Chad? Hahahaha. How's that Jack Daniels? Wow, he finished that fast!"

CM Punk: "What the hell are you doing Sting? You're out of your mind! You're..."

Sting: "I know, I know. Crazy? I've stepped over the line? I've taken it too far? Everybody thinks I've snapped? Well I haven't snapped! I just feel good! Come on down and join our party Punk! And remember, the only thing that's for sure about Sting... ahhh, nevermind."

Sting pours some beer into Gallows' mouth and Punk runs away from the interview to find them.

Unafraid to speak his mind to anyone about anything, the AWF has had to put out the disclaimer that all of New Jack's views are his own and not that of the AWF. New Jack is also unafraid of anyone and is willing to do whatever it takes to win even if it means putting himself in harm's way.

Entrance Theme: "Natural Born Killaz" by Dr Dre and Ice Cube

Kane: Think Kane circa 2003 in terms of his look and physique. In fact there really isn't any difference from that Kane. The "monster" is considered the AWF's "big man" and no one strikes fear into opponents as much as he does. A former World Heavyweight Champion and United States Heavyweight Champion he's been less focused on title pursuits over time and more focused on destroying anyone that crosses his path.

Entrance Theme: Kane's WWE theme without lyrics

Match:

Spoiler

"Ladies and gentlemen, here comes New Jack to the ring and he's not alone. He's got a shopping cart, a shopping cart from the Dollar Store? Well wherever it's from, it's got some tools of New Jack's trade from what I can tell. He said he was coming straight from the ''hood' and it looks like he did. Hell, that trash can even has graffiti on it. And he just deposited the cart at the entrance tot the cage and he just threw a crutch to the top fo the cage? What the hell is he... now he's... What in the hell is New Jack doing here? He's climbing to the bop of the cage! This match is supposed to start inside the damn cage!"

"Oh my God! We know what that signals. It's that monster Kane coming down to the ring now. This match isn't going to be a slobberknocker folks, it's going be end of somebody's career and not matter how dangerous New Jack is I don't think you bet against the monster Kane. And now Kane is climbing to the top of the cage! Again, this match is supposed to be in the damn cage!"

"That shot with the crutch has seemingly only angered Kane here. He's getting shots in on New Jack. And now what is he doing? Oh my good, he's going to choke slam New... OH MY GOD! He just choke slammed New Jack through that steel cage and down into the ring! Somebody get in there and see if he's alive dammit! Ask God is my witness he's broken in half.."

"They've got New Jack on that stretcher now and they're wheeling him up the ramp. It looks like this match and possibly New Jack's career is over here folks. Well wait, why are they stopping? What in the hell is New Jack doing up! He's making his way down the ramp again! And here come Harlem Heat out to stop him. Booker T and Stevie Ray are trying to talk some sense into New Jack but he isn't having it. He's all fired up!"

"Outside the cage here folks and I can't believe I'm saying this, but New Jack has really taken it to Kane here. He's thrown everything from that shopping cart at him except the kitchen sink! And now he's going back to the cart and he's got something wrapped in rags. Oh my God! He's got a cinder block! What's he going to do with that? He just disintegrated that cinder block on the head of Kane who is now sprawled all over my announce table!"

"Wait a minute folks. What the hell is New Jack doing at the top of that cage? What's he going to... OH MY GOD! New Jack just jumped sixteen feet from that top of the cell and landed on Kane on the announce table! I think both men must be done here! Get the officials and paramedics over here now dammnit!"

"New Jack is barely able to push that cart to the ring here now. He's parked it next to the ring and he's crawling up the steps. Kane is still... Oh my God! Kane just sat up! He just sat up like he was maybe taking a nap and nothing happened! It's as if that cinder block never disintegrated over his skull or New Jack crash-landed on him from sixteen feet above the ring! Kane making his way into the ring here. New Jack's got something in his hand here though folks. It's a staple gun! What's he going to do... Kane grabbed New Jack by the throat here and he's got him up for a choke... What in the hell! New Jack just used that staple gun on Kane's forehead! It's had almost no effect though! Is is that mask or is this monster impervious to pain? Another staple. And another. Oh, but Kane just choke slammed him."

"Kane has New Jack up here now and down! Tombstone piledriver into the ring! This may finally be it folks. Kane has crossed New Jack's arms over his chest for the cover. One... two... NO! New Jack put his foot on the rope! And Kane just tilted his head towards New Jack. If we could see under that mask I'm sure it'd be a look of disbelief. Kane going outside the ring now, and oh no, he's got those steel steps. He's going to drive them into New Jack's cranium. Where is New Jack? He rolled out of the ring but Kane didn't see where? Kane is looking and he just found him. Kane retrieving those stairs again and New Jack crawled under the ring just in time."

"New Jack from behind now as Kane doesn't see him! He's got that chain wrapped around Kane's neck and he's choking him out! He's choking him out! I think Kane is out here folks. New Jack back over to that cart and what's this? Oh my God, he's got a bottle of gin and a bottle of juice. What the hell is drinking for during a match like this with a monster like Kane?!?!?? He should be covering him."

"Kane just sat up again! He was seemingly choked out but he's up. He's headed straight for New Jack here and... OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! New Jack just spit out some of that gin and juice and used lighter to create a fireball in Kane's face! And now New Jack is on him for the cover. One.. two... three! Oh my God, New Jack has just defeated Kane in a Hell in a Cell match! Can you believe it?"

"Well folks, New Jack is now slowly walking, barely walking here, up the ramp with a cup of gin and juice. I'm positive that won't help him with his... But wait! Kane just sat up again! Oh my God! This monster who New Jack left for dead is getting to his feet! New Jack sees him now and New Jack just threw down his drink and is making his way to the back as fast as his busted up body can take him!"

AWF World Heavyweight Championship Match
CM Punk (C) vs Sting
Bios:

Spoiler

CM Punk: This is Straight Edge Society CM Punk with short hair and a very light beard. He's been dropping "pipe bombs" for months now and his target had been Sting who he beat for the World Heavyweight Championship. Some fans love him, some fans hate him, but he always gets a reaction.

Entrance Theme: "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour

Sting: This is the mid-Crow era Sting in terms of his age, build and personal look (hair length), but in terms of his persona and gimmick look it's the Joker Sting of TNA. Since his return after a three month hiatus his face paint has become more and more disheveled of the past four weeks and his hair has just a hint of a green. None of his moves have "scorpion" associated with them and the scorpion death lock is now call "the killing joke."

Entrance Theme: Sting's TNA theme

Match:

Spoiler

Sting is back after a three month hiatus since losing the World Heavyweight Championship to CM Punk and suffering a severe beating by the Straight Edge Society.

JR: "Well folks, the challenger Sting is about to... wait a minute, that's not Sting's music, that's CM Punk's music." ("Cult of Personality" is playing) "And that's Sting. Look at that grin on his face! And now he's signing along to the music! Well I guess it is fitting of this new Sting."

"Look it here folks, on the Titantron, it's CM Punk in the bowels of the arena with the rest of the Straight Edge Society and it looks like he's trying to revive them. He's being motioned to come out though and here he comes."

"This has been a grueling match folks and both of the mean are heavy on their feet to say the least here. And it's CM Punk with a punch right to Sting's face. But look at that look on the face of Sting! It's as if he enjoyed that. Another punch. Still that look. Another punch. Sting is laughing here. Another punch. Sting just told Punk to hit him again! Another punch! Sting just told him that's more like it. Sting is out of his mind here."

"And what did Sting just pull out of his tights here? I'll be damned, it's one of those little bottles of vodka! He's got CM Punk, who has just suffered multiple Stinger splashes, by the hair here and he's pouring it down his throat here! Oh, and he just delivered the Death Drop!"

"Sting with the Killing Joke here on CM Punk and.... referee is looking for the tap.... and he did it, CM Punk just tapped out to Sting! Sting has regained his World Heavyweight Championship! I have to tell you though folks, this is not a Sting we've ever seen before and I don't know if this crowd here in Milwaukee knows what to think of him."
