J. Styles: Palace of Auburn Hills, it’s time for the opening bout!!! (crowd cheers) The following is a Hell in a Cell match scheduled for one fall!!!

(o(The crowd cheers loudly. Then over the speakers, the voice belonging to Saukrates announces that "it's time for the remix!" CD Lawrence comes to the stage, looking around at the crowd, then walking down the aisle in the middle, so no one can touch him unless they work at it.)o)

J. Styles: Introducing first, making his way to the ring from Miramichi, New Brunswick Canada…. CD Lawrence!!!

(o( He goes inside the cell and then slides into the ring and heads to the corner to acknowledge the fans that do support him. Smoke covers the stage slowly as “Going Under” By Evanessense plays… "Now I will tell you what I’ve done for you. 50,000 tears I’ve cried." The crowd looks on in eagerness. Chloe walks out of the curtains, through the smoke, looking straight ahead and being accompanied by the man known as Maines. "Screaming, Deceiving, And bleeding for you And you still won't hear me ....Going Under...." She walks down the ramp at a normal pace. )o)

J. Styles: His opponent, making her way to the ring from Chatam NB, Canada… Chloe Christianson!!!

(o( Upon reaching ringside, Chloe Christianson goes inside the cage but Maines is stopped by the ref. "Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself Maybe I'll wake up for once" The ref closes he door and locks it as Maines argues. Chloe grabs the top rope, jumping over it as though jumping over a fence. Landing on both feet, she kneels on one knee. “Not tormented daily defeated by you just when I thought I'd reach the bottom" With her head down, Chloe blesses herself. The crowd looks on while she prays. "I dive again I'm going under (going under) Drowning with you (drowning with you) I'm falling forever (falling forever) I've got to break through I'm, going under " As the chorus draws to an end, Chloe rises slowly to her feet, with her head still bowed, she stretches her arms out to the side as if hanging from a cross. CD Lawrence has seen enough, charging at her and nailing her right on the face with a drop kick! )o)

G. Miller: and CD is tired of waiting! He wants hiss revenge, and he wants it now!

Paco: He suckered punch a woman!! Now that guy has bawls!

B. Powers: First of all, you don’t hit a woman period, let alone sucker punch her! What a coward CD is!

(o(The bell rings as CD is stomping a mud hole all over Chloe’s back. CD then brings her to her feet and whips her to the ropes. Chloe bounces off and CD sends her flying with a back body drop! CD grabs her by her hair and brings her back up before tossing her in the corner… He then begins pummeling with rights and lefts! CD talks trash to her as he then whips her to the opposite side. She hits hard and CD charges at her going for a clothesline but she ducks it, coming out of the corner.. They turn towards each other and Chloe nails him with a drop kick right to the kisser! CD stumbles onto the corner and Chloe quickly gets up and begins to pound him with kicks to the mid section… Chloe then takes him out of the corner and whips him to the other side, CD reverses it, pulls her back and takes Chloe down with a short arm clothesline! CD goes for a quick pin but Chloe kicks out after two. CD brings her back to her feet only to toss her over the top, onto the outside!)o)

G. Miller: Chloe needs to use her quickness and agility if she wants to win this match up.

Paco: Hell, any match up! Chloe is always going to be a lot lighter and a lot shorter than her opponents. She has to get use to these battles week in and week out.

B. Powers: That’s right she does, but she can do it, remember she beat CD before.

(o(CD steps to the outside and as Chloe is starting to get up he kicks her back down. Chloe again tries to get up but CD nails her with a swift kick to the ribs this time. Chloe is in big time pain but Maines on the outside of the cage is yelling encouraging words to her. CD looks at Maines and laughs before picking Chloe up and whipping her towards the cage. Chloe hits face first and drops to her knees right in front of Maines. Maines starts talking to her but CD kicks the cage right where his face is, sending him stumbling backwards. CD then picks up Chloe and whips her towards the steel post… Chloe puts on the breaks, sliding to the floor and then jumping back up.. charging at CD and nailing him with a spinning heel kick! CD doesn’t go down but stumbles backwards and is dazed… Chloe gets up and nails him with another spinning heel kick and this time she takes him down! Chloe quickly hops up on the apron then takes a few steps back before taking a running start, jumping and landing on CD with a senton bomb! )o)

G. Miller: Chloe has started to bounce back on this one, CD better be careful, or he’s going to let another one slip away!

Paco: CD can’t afford to lose twice, with him losing in the TV tornado match, and losing the previous week to Chloe, this would be a major step back.

B. Powers: Yeah, his downward spiral would only get worst.

(o(Chloe makes the pin but CD kicks out after one. Chloe gets up and brings him to his feet, she then applies a headlock before running towards the corner of the cell with him and letting him go at the last second, ramming his head against the cell’s steel post! CD drops to the floor holding his head and Chloe quickly goes to his legs and hooks them under her arms… She then drops to the ground, catapulting CD over her, and sending him crashing against the cell! Chloe again moves in for the pin but CD again kicks out after two. Chloe brings him to his feet again and hooks him for a suplex, she tries to bring him up but he blocks it, and ends up lifting her and dropping her with the suplex! CD stumbles to his feet and then drops his huge leg across Chloe’s neck! CD makes a pin, one! Two! Kick out by Chloe.. CD brings her back to her feet and then whips her towards the cell. Chloe hits hard, but doesn’t fall, instead, stumbling backwards right into CD who turns her around, lifts her with a gorilla press and throws her against the cage again! )o)

G. Miller: CD is showing no remorse here guys! HE really wants to hurt Chloe!!

Paco: Payback can be a bitch they say, and right now, that bitch is Chloe!!

B. Powers: You call her a bitch, like it’s a bad thing. ;o)

(o(Chloe is down and out… CD moves in, flipping her over and making the pin! One! Two! Kick out by Chloe… CD brings her back to her feet and then takes her up the steel steps.. He then, while standing on the top steel step, hooks her between his legs! He calls for a power-bomb but as he tries to bring her up, Chloe drops to one knee, and nails him with a low blow! CD doubles over and Chloe then back body drops him all the way down to the floor! Chloe climbs inside the ring, and then climbs the turnbuckle… She stands at the very top with the crowd cheering her on… She jumps off, connecting with a corkscrew plancha!! The crowd cheers loudly and a “Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!” chant gets started… Chloe hooks the leg for the pin, and the ref counts. One! Two! Kick out! Chloe gets up and then sits CD up. She then does a cross on his forehead before applying her “thumb-to-the-neck” submission!! CD is kicking like crazy trying to get out of it and the ref can only watch and do nothing. )o)

G. Miller: In a regular match that move is illegal, but in a hell in a cell, anything goes! Chloe could make CD submit right here!!

Paco: That’s got to hurt like hell!!

B. Powers: Yeah, come here Paco let me try it on you!

(o(CD reaches under the ring, as he struggles with his other hand to push Chloe off… He manages to grab something, the lid to a metal trash can. CD takes it out and slams it against the side of Chloe’s head! Chloe still doesn’t let go but after a second shot from the lid she does!! CD rolls over, and coughs like crazy as he struggles to breathe.. Chloe stumbles to her feet and then begins kicking CD down to the floor… She then stops and brings him to his feet only to give him a kick to the mid section.. CD doubles over and Chloe runs towards the cell, then runs back, jumps up and goes for a fame-ass-err but CD moves out of the way and Chloe hits nothing but floor mat! CD grabs her by he hair and brings her up, he then lifts her, spins her around, hooks her and drops her with a widow’s peak! “OOOOH!” is heard from the crowd after they watch the devastating move. CD moves in for the pin! One! Two! Kick out! CD sees the metal lid from before and picks up Chloe. He then hooks her between her legs, lifts her and pile-drives her into it!! )o)

G. Miller: CD connects with his trademark move, and now he connects with that devastating pile-driver! It’s got to be over now folks!

Paco: Hell yeah, there is only so much a neck can take! Specially Chloe’s!

B. Powers: Oh, what’s that suppose to mean? That because she’s a woman she has a weaker neck? Well you watch her kick out right now!

(o(CD hooks the leg for the pin! One! Two! Th.. kick out by Chloe! The crowd cheers and CD upset, brings her to her feet and tosses her back in the ring. He goes in himself and then waits for her to get up as he stands by the corner… Chloe is struggling, but eventually manages to, holding her neck in pain… CD waits for her to turn towards him, and when she does, he goes for a super kick but Chloe sees it coming and drops to the mat doing a split and then punches CD right on his jewel case!! “OOOH!!!” is heard from the crowd as they watched the painful punch. CD doubles over and drops to the mat, holding the family jewels… Chloe gets up and doesn’t give him a break, bringing back to his feet and then tossing him back to the outside! Chloe then goes to the corner and climbs it yet again! She stands at the very top waiting for CD who is slowly getting up.. He finally manages to make it to his feet, but is doubling over in pain. Chloe jumps off, connecting with a fame-ass-err!! )o)

G. Miller: What a move by Chloe!

Paco: What hang time!!

B. Powers: That’s what I’m talking about sister, kick his ass!

(o(Chloe flips him over and makes the pin! One! Two! Th.. kick out by CD!!! “OOOH!” is heard from the crowd as Chloe slaps the mat frustrated, thinking she had the match won. She gets up and brings CD to his feet. She then whips him towards the cell… He hits hard and Chloe charges at him and goes for a cross body block but CD ducks and Chloe crashes against the cell, then lands on top of CD! Chloe rolls off of him and then stumbles to his feet and so does he… Chloe goes for a right hand but he blocks it. She goes for a left but he blocks it as well. She then gives him a kick to the mid section and this time she connects. She then whips him towards the cell again, but this time he reverses it! Chloe crashes against the cell and drops to one knee.. CD waits for her, as she gets up, turns around and he then nails her with a super kick!! “OOOH!” is heard from the crowd as Chloe does a 360 in mid air before landing hard on her back! CD quickly moves in and makes the pin! One! Two! Three! No! Two! Two! Chloe kicked out at the last second! )o)

G. Miller: I can’t believe she kicked out! That was a hell of a super kick!!

Paco: That’s one tough mamacita!! I wonder if she’s that tough in bed? (growl)

B. Powers: Get your mind out the gutter fat ass.

(o(CD Lawrence can’t believe she kicked out. He makes the pin again but again Chloe kicks out. Maines on the outside is worried and decides to get involved. He walks over to the door of cell, but he is stopped by the ref who warns him. Maines smiles and then shoves the ref out of the way. He stands there by the door as CD gets up and looks his way. CD begs him to come in… Chloe crawls closer to the ring and looks under it. Maines opens the door and stands by it. CD is ready for him, again, begging him to get in. Just then though Chloe comes from behind with a crowbar on her hand! She nails CD in the back of his head, sending him stumbling forward. Maines grabs the door of the cell and slams it close, right on CD’s face!! CD stumbles backwards right onto Chloe who jumps onto his shoulders and takes him down with a crucifix submission pin! The ref on the inside of the ring quickly makes the pin! One! Two! Three! Bell rings! )o)

J. Styles: Here is your winner… CHLOE CHRISTIANSON!!!

(o(The crowd gives a mix reaction, happy Chloe won but not so happy of the way she won. )o)

G. Miller: Chloe is victorious yet again over CD Lawrence, but again it’s thanks to Maines!!

Paco: CD let his emotions get the best of him. He had the mach won if he went for his finisher, instead, he went for Maines. It was a trap and he fell for it.

B. Powers: Yeah and now CD is 0 and 2 against Chloe.

G. Miller: Yeah, so this pretty much ends this feud wouldn’t you say?

Paco: Not by a long shot.

B. Powers: I second that.

(o(The camera cuts to the back. Jack Sullivan stands in the backstage area, carrying a large box of video tapes in his arms. Jack is wearing his usual wrestling gear, as well as a t-shirt, although the box of tapes obstructs any view of the shirt. Surrounding Jack is his Luchador Army, each one seemingly looking for something. Jones nervously walks up to Jack, a microphone in his hand. )o)

Jones: Ah, Jack, a word with you please?

Jack Sullivan: What the hell do you want? I'm busy trying to find someone to give these damn tapes to. Vince gave me damn soap operas, and I'm sick of having luchador tears on my damn couch.

Jones: Well, I just wanted to get your opinion on rookie class in the ICWF.

Jack Sullivan: ...My opinion? Why the hell would you want my opinion on it? I'm not some wrestling analyst. Do I look like a fat ass like Scott Keith? I have better things to do than stand here and be asked such questions.

Jones: Well Jack, you just seemed to be the man to ask, what with you beating several of them over the past few weeks. The fans seem to really like the new rookies, so I thought...

Jack Sullivan: ...Excuse me? Since when do I give a damn what the fans think Jones? I'm not here for them, I'm here for myself. If they enjoy watching a bunch of rookies getting their asses handed to them, good for the fans. Personally, I don't give a damn about that. Fuck the damn fans for all I care. Here, have yourself some soap opera tapes. Maybe you'll make good use of them.

(o(Jack shoves the box of tapes at Jones, who fumbles with the box for a few moments before steadying his grip on it. With the box no longer blocking Jack's shirt, it can be seen that Jack is wearing a FTF t-shirt. Jack grins at the nearby Luchador Army, and the group exits the area, leaving Jones holding a bunch of tapes. The camera switches back over to the crew. )o)

G. Miller: Did you guys see that shirt that Jack was wearing? It’s an FTF T-shirt!!

Paco: Now calm down Captain Long John Silver stuck up your ass. Don’t you go starting any rumors!

B. Powers: Did you not hear the way Jack spoke? That’s clearly FTF talk! And that shirt just adds to the obvious!

G. Miller: Could Jack Sullivan be the newest member of the FTF? With Killa Kali out with an injury, he could be the “interim” replacement!

Paco: Would you two shut the hell up! Have you forgotten that him and Titan 3 are good buddies? What if Titan 3 gave it to him as a gift? Huh? What about that?

B. Powers: Only you would be that naïve.

G. Miller: That, or he was paid off to try to play down the obvious.

Paco: are you calling me a sell out!?! I will never sell out!

B. Powers: Uh huh.

G. Miller: My feelings exactly Brandy. Well fans it’s time to get the Clash of the Champions Tournament started! The first, first round match is next!

Paco: Excellent, we’re about to crown the first double champion of the night!!

B. Powers: Yeah, this is my first Clash of the Champions pay per view. So I’m very exited!

Paco: oh really? So in a way, we’ll be popping your cherry eh?

G. Miller: Paco! Behave!

B. Powers: That’s ok Miller. Paco has no chance of popping my cherry.

Paco: Heh, that’s because that cherry has been popped more times than a Chinese firecracker!

(o(SLAP! Right to Paco’s cheek! That’s the first of the night, and I’m sure there will be more to come. The camera switches over to the ring. Joey gets inside it, and once the crowd settles down he speaks. )o)

J. Styles: Palace of Auburn Hills, it’s time for the opening bout!!! (crowd cheers) The following match is scheduled for one fall and it’s for both the North American Championship and Intercontinental Championship!!!

(o(The crowd cheers and the lights go out in the arena. Slowly, red spotlights line down the ramp, and a large explosion of pyro takes place on the entrance ramp. The cheers quickly turn to boos as slowly, Jack Sullivan walks to the ring, the spotlights following him down as "The Red" by Chevelle plays. )o)

J. Styles: Introducing first, making his way to the ring from Milwaukee, Wisconsin… He is the North American Champion… Jack Sullivan!!!

(o(He gets inside the ring and hands the belt off to the ref. Then “Hair of the Dogs” By Guns and Roses begins to play and flames erupt from the entrance way...We see a man emerge from the flames unscarred and unburned...Trent Steel makes his way to the ring, as the crowd boos him loudly as well... )o)

J. Styles: His opponent, making his way to the ring from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania… He is the Intercontinental Champion… “The Son of a Bitch” Trent Steel!!!

(o( He leaps to the top of the ring apron and goes in under the third rope...Trent removes his shades and trench coat and hands it to an assistant outside of the ring. )o)

G. Miller: This one should be a great one, with whoever the winner is, taking a major step towards ICWF greatness.

B. Powers: Yeah, they already accomplished a lot by being part of this tournament. Now they have a chance to take it a step further.

Paco: What I want to know is, why can the whole tournament be hardcore rules? I mean c’mon we are Insane! Our logo says it!

(o(The ref raises both titles, showing them off to the crowd. He then hands them to the time keeper before calling for the bell. It rings and Sullivan and Steel begin to circle each other before locking up in the middle of the ring. There is a power struggle but Sullivan manages to apply a headlock. Steel tries to get out of it, and does, pushing Sullivan to the ropes. Sullivan bounces off and Steel goes for a clothesline. Sullivan ducks it though and then stops. Both men turns towards each other and Sullivan goes for a kick to the mid section. Steel catches his foot though and then spins Sullivan around. He then lifts him for an inverted atomic drop but Sullivan blocks it and gives Steel a thumb to the eye for trying. Steel stumbles backwards and Sullivan nails him with a right hand. Steel stumbles over to the corner and Sullivan continues to pound him there with rights and lefts to the head and to the body. Sullivan then takes him out of the corner, lifting him for a body slam and connecting with it. )o)

G. Miller: Pretty even match up so far, but I expected Trent Steel to be the aggressor in the early going.

B. Powers: Kind of hard to be the aggressor when your opponent is almost 100 pounds heavier than you and almost a foot taller.

Paco: Yeah Miller, you dumb bastard. Can you not see the obvious?

(o(Miller scowls at Paco as back in the ring, Sullivan bounces off the ropes and drops an elbow on Steel. He goes for the pin but Steel kicks out after one. Sullivan brings him to his feet and whips him towards the ropes. Steel bounces off and Sullivan goes for a clothesline. Steel ducks it though, bounces off the other side, and Sullivan turns around, Steel nails him with a clipping tackle! Sullivan drops to the mat and Steel quickly gets up and begins to stomp on the leg he clipped. He then grabs it, hooks it under his arm and flips Sullivan, applying a half Boston crab! The ref asks Sullivan if he gives up but he shakes his head “no” and then reaches for the ropes that are nearby. He gets them without much trouble and Steel is force to break the hold. He stomps on the leg a few more times though and then brings Sullivan to his feet. He then hooks him for a suplex, and manages to lift and drop the big man! Steel rolls on top of him to make the pin! One! Two! Kick out! )o)

G. Miller: Trent Steel showing great power there! Is this the first time these two meet in the ring?

B. Powers: I believe so.

Paco: Well they were bound to meet. If not here, Sullivan was probably going to challenge him as he has move up the contender’s ladder.

(o(Steel brings him back up and then whips him towards the corner. Sullivan hits hard and Steel charges at him, and goes for a monkey flip! Sullivan holds him though and then spins him around, placing him on the top turnbuckle. Sullivan nails him with a series of knife edge chops! Sullivan then climbs onto the second turnbuckle and hooks Steel for a super-plex! Steel fights him off with body blows and then a shove, that sends Sullivan crashing down to the mat. Steel then stands up and jumps off, connecting with a leg drop! Steel hooks the leg for the pin again! One! Two! Kick out! Steel brings Sullivan to his feet and whips him towards the ropes. Sullivan manages to reverse it and Steel bounces off, but he goes for a cross body block! Sullivan manages to catch him though and drops him with a fall-away slam! Sullivan moves in for the pin and the ref counts! One! Two! Kick out! Sullivan gets to his feet and brings Steel to his. He then hooks him for a suplex, gets him up but then tosses him to the outside! )o)

G. Miller: Ok that was uncalled for! He didn’t have to do that!

B. Powers: He sure didn’t, the match needs to take place inside the ring. Remember, this is a regular match!

Paco: Will you two shut up and let the man do his thing!? Damn!

(o(The ref warns Sullivan but he still steps to the outside, going after Steel. The ref begins the 10 count as Sullivan peels Steel off the mat and then whips him towards the guard rail. Steel hits hard and Sullivan walks over, picking him back up, lifting him for a body slam but dropping him chest first unto the guard rail! The ref warns Sullivan but he ignores the ref. He then brings Steel to his feet and whips him towards the steel steps, Steel reverses it and Sullivan crashes against them! The ref reaches 6 on the count and Steel rolls back inside the ring, only to break the count as he slides back out. He picks up Steel but he surprises him with an European uppercut. Steel stumbles backwards and Sullivan charges at him, and runs him over with a clothesline! Sullivan then brings him to his feet and throws him inside the ring to shut the ref up. He goes in himself and makes the pin, one! Two! Kick out! Sullivan brings him to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Steel bounces off and Sullivan drops him with a power-slam! )o)

G. Miller: Jack Sullivan has dominated Steel for the last 3 minutes or so! Steel needs to get it together or Sullivan is going to make short work of him!

B. Powers: Steel is a lightweight, so make he should try some high flying moves to slow down, or take down the North American Champion.

Paco: Yeah but you know Steel doesn’t want to be known as a “high flyer” he wants to be known as a submissionist.

(o(Sullivan goes for the pin but Steel again kicks out after two. Sullivan gets up and brings steel to his feet. He then whips him to the ropes again. Steel bounces off and Sullivan catches him, applying a bear hug!! Steel is in pain but gets out of it right away, with a big head butt. Sullivan stumbles backwards, then goes after Steel but Steel nails him with a drop kick! Steel quickly gets to his feet and then walks over to Sullivan’s legs. He grabs the leg he worked on earlier briefly, and then drops an elbow across it! Steel flips him over and tries to apply an STF, but as he does, Sullivan throws back an elbow, nailing him right on the face. Steel rolls around holding his face as Sullivan gets to his feet, picks up Steel and whips him towards the ropes.. Steel bounces off and Sullivan goes for a back body drop! Steel stops though and hooks Sullivan with an abdominal stretch. Sullivan tries to get out of it but Steel grabs the rope for leverage while the ref is not looking. )o)

G. Miller: Well that’s one way to slow down Sullivan, applying wear down moves.

B. Powers: Yeah, but I don’t know if what you say is true Paco. I have seen him using high flying moves before.

Paco: Well I didn’t say he didn’t do them before you silly wench. I just said he doesn’t want to be known as a high flyer.

(o(The ref goes to check on Steel and he lets go off the ropes. The ref goes back to Sullivan and asks him if he gives up. Sullivan says no and Steel grabs the top rope again! Sullivan screams in pain and the ref checks Steel again but he lets go of the rope at the last second. The ref warns him about holding the top rope but Steel denies it. The ref goes to check on Sullivan again, and again Steel grabs the top rope! This time the ref sees him and forces him to break it. As he does, Sullivan delivers a hip toss on Steel. Sullivan stumbles towards the corner and holds his ribs in pain.. Steel stumbles to his feet and charges at Sullivan but Sullivan nails him with a big boot to the face!! Sullivan then brings him to his feet and wraps his hands around Steel’s neck! He then lifts him and drops him across his knee hard, delivering a choke-back-breaker!! Sullivan quickly makes the pin, hooking both legs! One! Two! Th.. kick out! Sullivan can’t believe he kicked out so he makes the pin again, one! Two! Kick out! )o)

G. Miller: Sullivan is in denial, he can’t believe Steel kicked out of is trademark move!

Paco: Thanks for stating the obvious genius.

B. Powers: That’s a powerful move no doubt, but Sullivan has to realize that he is dealing with one of the toughest wrestlers in the ICWF.

(o(Sullivan gets up frustrated and begins to stomp on Steel’s chest. He then brings him to his feet and whips him towards the corner, he hits hard and Sullivan follows it up with a crushing clothesline! Sullivan then grabs him by his head with one hand and begins to pummel him with his other. Sullivan then whips him towards the other side and again Steel hits hard. Sullivan rushes over and goes for a big splash, but this time misses as Steel gets out of the way! Sullivan hits nothing but turnbuckle and Steel quickly rolls him up from behind for the pin! One! Two! Kick out! Sullivan gets up quicker than Steel and nails him with a big boot to the face. Sullivan then picks him up and hooks him between his legs! Sullivan calls for a power-bomb, getting Steel up but he hangs on to Sullivan’s head, and begins to pummel him with right hands! Sullivan stumbles around and Steel then spins around while still on Sullivan’s shoulders and takes him down with a victory roll! One! Two! Th.. kick out by Sullivan! )o)

G. Miller: Well like it or not, Steel had to resort to some lightweight tactics!

Paco: Yeah and it almost paid off for the son of a bitch!

B. Powers: They don’t call it a ‘victory roll’ for nothing. That pin almost always guarantees a win!

(o(Both wrestlers get to their feet, with Sullivan being a step faster than Steel. He nails him with a right hand, backing him to the ropes and then whipping him to the other side! Steel bounces off but catches Sullivan off guard with a spinning heel kick! Both wrestlers get to their feet rather quickly, Sullivan holding his face though… Steel goes for a kick to the mid section but Sullivan manages to grab it! Steel turns it on him though, nailing him with an enziguri kick!! “OOOOH!” is heard from the crowd as they hear the loud smack… Steel quickly flips him over and makes the pin! One! Two! Th.. kick out by Sullivan! Steel can’t believe it and he quickly flips Sullivan over so he’s face down. He then gets up, runs towards the ropes, bounces off and delivers a leg drop to the back of Sullivan’s neck! Steel flips him over and makes the pin again! One! Two! Th.. kick out! Steel gets to his feet and brings Sullivan to his.. He then hooks him and drops him with a t-bone suplex!!)o)

G. Miller: Trent Steel showing great strength there and the momentum has definitely shifted to the Intercontinental Champion!

Paco: Without a doubt! Steel is showing you exactly why he is the meanest Son of a Bitch!

B. Powers: How can someone be proud of calling himself a SOB? I just don’t get it.

(o(Steel goes for the pin again, one! Two! Kick out! Steel gets to his feet and brings Sullivan to his. He then whips him towards the ropes but Sullivan reverses it. Steel bounces off and Sullivan goes for a back body drop! Steel sees it though, stopping and hooking Sullivan for a DDT! Sullivan blocks it though, and delivers a northern lights suplex with a bridge instead!! The ref counts! One! Two! Kick out! Sullivan stumbles to his feet but so does Steel… Steel goes for a right hand but Sullivan blocks it, and gives Steel a kick to the mid section. Steel doubles over and Sullivan goes behind him, pulls back on his head and hooks him under his arm… He signals to the crowd and then delivers a reversed twist of fate! Sullivan makes the pin right away and the ref counts! One! Two! Th.. kick out! Sullivan gets up upset but then tells the crowd is over. He picks up Steel and whips him to the ropes.. Steel bounces off and Sullivan catches him into his shoulders! Steel breaks free though, hooking Sullivan by one knee, lifting him and dropping him with a knee-breaker! Steel doesn’t let go of the leg, quickly hooking it along with the other and applying a sharpshooter! )o)

G. Miller: Here we go guys!! Trent Steel has his finisher locked up on Sullivan!! Our first double champion of the night is about to be crown!

Paco: Hell yeah! That’s what I’m talking about Steel, kick ass!!

B. Powers: Sullivan has huge legs though, I think it’s going to be tough for Steel to make him submit!

(o(Steel isn’t fully seated on Sullivan’s back yet as Sullivan is fighting the hold while trying to make it to the ropes at the same times… The ref asks him if he gives up? But he just ignores him.. Steel lets out a loud scream and manages to put all his weight on Sullivan, now having the sharpshooter perfectly locked! Sullivan grabs his head as the pain seems to be getting to be too much. The ref asks him again if he gives up but Sullivan shakes his head “no!” and then tries to reach for the ropes again.. His long arms reach for the bottom rope and he can feel them with the tips of his fingers. The ref asks him again and he says “no!” then reaches for the bottom rope again and manages to grab it!! The ref tells Steel to break up the submission hold and reluctantly he does.. Sullivan is in big time pain and Steel moves in for the kill. Steel drags Sullivan to the middle of the ring, he tries to apply his move again but Sullivan kicks him off. Steel stumbles backwards as Sullivan tries to get up. Steel comes back, grabbing him and whipping him towards the ropes. Steel bounces off and Sullivan catches him onto his shoulders! Sullivan is about to swing him around for his finisher but no, Steel breaks free landing on his feet in front of Sullivan. He grabs Sullivan by his legs and takes him down! Steel hooks his legs and applies the sharpshooter again! This time the hold is applied in the middle of the ring. The ref asks Sullivan if he gives up! Sullivan shakes his head “no!” and tries to reach for the ropes.. The ref asks him again and Sullivan taps! The ref calls for he bell. )o)

J. Styles: Here is your winner, and the NEW North American Champion!!! “THE SON OF A BITCH” TRENT STEEL!!!

(o(His music plays as the ref hands him his two titles, then raises his arm in victory. The crowd is booing loudly! )o)

G. Miller: and the SOB becomes the first double champion of the night!!

Paco: Holy shit this is awesome!!

B. Powers: I don’t know how awesome it really is, he has to go up against Titan 3 next!!

G. Miller: Well, knowing Trent Steel, he will be happy about it. He’s been wanting a shot at Titan 3 for the longest time, and now, he will get it!

Paco: Yeah, oh hell look guys! Is that what I think it is!

B. Powers: It’s an army of “scream” men! Why can’t I get an army of, say, Justin Timberlakes? Huh? Huh?

G. Miller: Yeah, that would be nice… uh, I mean, for you of course!

Paco: (rolls eyes)

(o(Trent Steel sees the army and begins laughing as he then exits the ring, and heads back up the ramp right through them, untouched. The Scream men surround the ring all jump inside! The referee, taken by surprise, makes a hasty exit, leaving Jack Sullivan alone in the ring, pulling himself up by the ropes, while he is slowly surrounded by his stalkers!)o)

Paco: oh man, Sullivan's a sitting duck!

(o(Sullivan gets to his feet and turns around, but doesn't even bat an eye at his stalkers, who all tilt their heads to the right at him curiously. Sullivan starts yelling at them and pointing fingers, ordering them to leave him alone, when all of a sudden the lights go out and "Scream for Me..." appears on the big screen! A voice asks "Do you like scary movies?" and then "Antichrist Superstar" by Marilyn Manson begins to blare as the Scream Stalker himself appears at the entrance, bathed in a purple spotlight, holding a microphone. He pauses to look around the crowd, seemingly soaking in his moment in the sun, before making his way down to the ring and climbing inside. The other Scream men part down the middle and make way for him as he steps up within arms' distance of Jack Sullivan.)o)

B. Powers: The stalker said last week that Sullivan would find out TONIGHT who he is! This could be the big unveiling!

G. Miller: I certainly hope so!

Paco: No kidding! I’m sick of this mystery shit!

(o(The lights come back on, and we see that the Scream Stalker is face to face with Sullivan with his henchmen waiting behind him. The crowd buzzes as "Scream" raises the mic to his...er, mouth hole.)o)

Stalker: Antsy, are you, Sully? A little uptight? I can see that you're quivering a bit. You want to know who I am, don't you?

Paco: Yank the mask off, already!

Stalker: Well, Jack, I promised you that tonight would be the night, but don't think that just because my secret identity of spooky doom is revealed that you get to meander along your merry way, confident that your life is back to normal. I'm not here to make your life normal, buddy, I'm here to make your life a living hell...and just in time for Christmas, too! That's right, Jack, this holiday season will be the worst holiday season of your life. I'm here to bring you off your high horse, I'm here to bring you to your knees! Santa says you've been a naughty boy, and I'm here to exact punishment on your "Evolved" ass! You want Evolution? Here's where things evolve from merely interesting...to insane!

(o(The stalker drops the microphone, which hits the mat with a thud that echoes through the arena. He steps up, face to face with a wide, fire-eyed Jack Sullivan, and we notice that the stalker is a bit shorter than his stalkee. With Sullivan's nose pressed against the nose of the Scream mask, the stalker seems to say something and points to his head.)o)

B. Powers: The stalker wants Jack to take the mask off!

Paco: What a lazy bastard, he can't even do it himself!

(o(Sullivan reaches up slowly, not noticing as the other Scream henchmen surround the two of them. Sullivan grabs the top of the mask...and yanks it off, revealing the stalker! The crowd buzzes, but nobody can see who it is because the henchmen have surrounded them!)o)

G. Miller: Who is it?! Who's there?!

Paco: Who is it?! This asshole is driving a man to drink, here!

B. Powers: Wait, the others are moving!

(o(Slowly, the other Scream men move out of the way, and the stalker is finally revealed: a man with long, blonde hair with a smirk that looks somewhat familiar...)o)

G. Miller: Oh my!

Paco: ...Holy...!

B. Powers: ...it's...SILVER CYANIDE!

(o(Sullivan stares with a look of shock...but then shoves Cyanide back and takes a swing at him! Cyanide ducks it easily, though, and Sullivan takes out one of the Scream henchmen! Quickly turning around, Cyanide is nowhere to be seen, and Sullivan is surrounded by Scream men!)o)

Paco: He put the mask back on! Sullivan, that's him right there!

(o(Sullivan lets out a yell and starts swinging wildly, taking out Scream man after Scream man in a desperate attempt to get to Cyanide! He slowly gets swarmed, though, but throws all his attackers off with a burst of power! He turns around once again, straight into a massive chair shot! Sullivan hits the mat hard, and Cyanide drops the chair and removes his mask again, staring down at Sullivan, before a crazed grin crosses his face and he lets out a victorious shout that is nearly lost in the noise of the crowd as a "Cy-a-nide!" chant starts up! "Antichrist Superstar" hits the airwaves again as Cyanide slides out of the ring and starts high-fiving the fans as he makes his way back up the ramp!)o)

G. Miller: Oh my! What a shocker!! Of all the people we thought the stalker was, it turns out to be that he was Silver Cyanide!!!

Paco: Damn, I never thought I would see him in the ICWF!

B. Powers: Yeah me either, but hey, if have seen Andy Murray, Josh Allen and even Jin Royale make a stop at ICWF, why not him?

G. Miller: I wonder if Sullivan had any idea that it was Cyanide?

Paco: I don’t know… but I’m glad we finally found out who he was, I was getting f’n annoyed!

B. Powers: One question still remains though guys.. Why stalk Sullivan? Why him of all people?

G. Miller: Well like I always say… “I’m sure that in due time, we will find out!”

Paco: Ain’t that the truth.. Where is my tequila bottle, I need a drink, or ten.

B. Powers: The first shocker of the night, and that’s only our second match!

G. Miller: Yeah, and speaking of matches. Up next is another 1st round match of the Clash of the Champions Tournament. This time, The Hardcore Champion of the World takes on the European Champion!!

Paco: Oh f’k, is not live from Europe is it?

B. Powers: No silly, it’s here, live! Joey take it away!

(o(The camera switches over to the ring, and focuses on Joey who is standing in the middle of it. )o)

J. Styles: Palace of Auburn Hills, it’s time for the next bout! (crowd cheers) The following is a “hardcore rules” match scheduled for one fall and it’s for both the European and Hardcore Championship!!!

(o(More cheers from the crowd as the lights in the arena go out, and the cameras circle around the arena. There are orange and black strobe lights pointing out and out of nowhere we see the word "3rd Earth" in the background of the Insane-A-Tron. Suddenly, fire begins to blaze over the words and then the face of DeMarko Frost is seen. All of a sudden, four flaming balls fit the stage and pyro start to shoot up as "Frostalious" by G-Stylez start to play. Frost comes down the ramp wearing black and orange spandex overalls with the words "The Frost" on the front and "Cold Blooded Killer" on the back. His towel, that he has over his head and his blacks are both black.)o)

J. Styles: Introducing first, making his way to the ring from Brooklyn, New York… He is the European Champion… “The Cold Blooded Killer” DeMarko Frost!!!

(o(He enters into the ring and goes to the ropes, he stands on the ropes and he folds his arms up as he looks around to the fans. The lights dim as the arena goes silent. The crowd sits on the edge of their seat in anticipation as "Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi begins to play over the loudspeakers. As the song's instrumental intro draws closer to the lyrics...a large burst of pyro shoots across the stage, the song coming to a complete stop. As the smoke clears, PIC stands in the middle of the stage, arms straight up in the air. Then, the song picks up at the chorus as PIC jumps up and begins running toward the ring, shaking hands all along the way with Willie Peterson following behind at a distance. )o)

J. Styles: His opponent, making his way to the ring from Kannapolis, North Carolina… He is the Hardcore Champion… PIC!!!

(o( PIC slides into the ring from a dead sprint and shoots up to the turnbuckle, raising his hands in the air as the crowd sings along with the song. He drops back down to the mat and hits the ropes, awaiting the opening bell.)o)

G. Miller: This one is hardcore rules so I’m sure you’re happy Paco.

Paco: and you know this man!! I’m already popping open a few coronas here… They compliment my tequila very well.

B. Powers: Your main dish is Tequila and your dessert is tequilas? Good grief Paco, how are your kidneys feeling right about now?

(o(The bell rings and both wrestlers launch at each other.. There is a power struggle as both wrestlers keep pushing each other back and forth. Finally PIC manages to get the advantage with a knee to the mid section, doubling Frost over. PIC then nails him with a hard right hand, plus another before whipping him towards the corner. Frost hits hard and PIC moves in, nailing him with a couple of knife edge chops to the chest. PIC then connects with two more right hands before taking Frost out of the corner, leaning him against the ropes and whipping him to the other side. Frost bounces off and PIC nails him with a spinning elbow to the face! PIC quickly moves in for the pin but Frost kicks out after one. PIC gets up and brings him back to his feet. He then whips him towards the ropes, Frost bounces off, no, he hangs on to them and this prompts PIC to charge at him, Frost sees him coming though and back body drops him to the outside!! )o)

Paco: Alright, they are on the outside! Now this match is going to get good!!

G. Miller: Even though he’s the Hardcore champion, PIC has never been known as a hardcore type of wrestler. But he did extremely well against TLS and the king of hardcore himself, Killa Kali.

B. Powers: He beat them both, in one night, I think that’s more than “extremely” well. Frost knows how to get hardcore though, he’s a former hardcore champion. So PIC definitely has his hands full here.

(o(Frost steps to the outer part of the ring, and as PIC starts to get up, Frost jumps on top of him, nailing him with a double axe handle smash! Frost now begins stomping on PIC’s chest hard… He stops after about ten stomps and then picks up PIC before whipping him towards the guardrail. PIC hits hard and falls to a seat down position. Frost charges at him, ramming his knee against PIC’s face! Frost brings him back up and then whips him towards the steel steps, no, PIC reverses it and whips him the other way, towards the steel post! Frost hits face first, and stumbles backwards, right into PIC who lifts him and drops him with a side suplex! PIC rolls on top of him for the pin! One! Two! Kick out by Frost. PIC brings him back to his feet and then hooks him for a suplex, he gets him up and drops him on the steel ramp! Frost again rolls on top of him for the pin but Frost again kicks out. PIC walks over to the ring now and looks under it. )o)

G. Miller: Looks like it’s time for weapons guys!

Paco: Hell yeah! That’s what I’m talking about!

B. Powers: No, no weapons needed! Come on PIC, keep it civil!

(o(PIC starts taking out all kinds of stuff including a table! The crowd cheers at the sight of it but PIC doesn’t go to use it first. Instead he grabs a hockey stick and as Frost is on all fours, starting to get up, PIC comes over and breaks the hockey stick across his back!! Frost drops back down to the ramp and PIC gets on top of him, still holding half of the hockey stick. He sets Frost up as if he was going for a camel clutch, but instead, puts the half a hockey stick under his neck, and begins pulling back, choking Frost!! The ref warns him but PIC ignores him! The ref gives him the five count and PIC finally breaks it off. Frost is coughing and holding his neck in pain. PIC brings him back up to his feet, turns him around and drops him with a neck-breaker, adding insult to injury. PIC rolls on top of him for the pin yet again, but again Frost kicks out! PIC brings him back up and then leans him against the steel post.. PIC then grabs a bat and swings at Frost, but Frost ducks and PIC breaks the bat over the steel post. He drops the half on his hands and lets out a loud scream.)o)

G. Miller: Oh I can only imagine that sort of pain must be feeling right now!!

Paco: Yeah, that sort of shot can shatter hands… Unless you have a corked bat of course.

B. Powers: Oh don’t even start that again.

(o(PIC is doubled over, rubbing his hands and that gives Frost the opening he needs, turning PIC around, lifting him and dropping him neck first across the guard rail! PIC goes down, immediately grabbing his neck.. Frost stumbles around, looking for a weapon to use. He grabs a fire extinguisher and waits for PIC to get up. When he does, Frost nails him in the mid section with it! PIC doubles over and Frost then nails him across his back with it! PIC drops to the ground as Frost tosses the fire extinguisher to the side. He then flips PIC over with his foot and makes the pin! One! Two! Kick out! Frost gets up and this time grabs a metal trash can. He lays it across the floor and then picks up PIC. He hooks him for a suplex in front of it, gets him up and drops him on top of it with a face first suplex! PIC holds his mid section in pain and Frost flips him over before making the pin! One! Two! Kick out again by PIC. Frost picks up PIC, lifts him for a body slam and delivers it onto the metal trash can, bending it even more. )o)

G. Miller: This match just keeps getting more brutal by the second!

Paco: Hell yeah! That’s what happens when you get a former Hardcore Champion vs. a current Hardcore Champion. They definitely know how to---

B. Powers: Get hardcore? Wow, what an insightful comment Paco.

(o(Frost then notices the table and sets it up. He then walks over to PIC and brings him to his feet. He then takes him about 20 feet away from the table.. Frost then hooks PIC between his legs, and lifts him up for a power-bomb! PIC uses that speed though to continue rolling through, falling behind Frost, and getting him down for the pin with a sunset flip! The ref comes over and counts! One! Two! Kick out! PIC stumbles to his feet and so does Frost, but much faster. He grabs PIC and gives him a kick to the mid section.. He then leans him against the guard rail then takes about then steps away from PIC before charging at him, but before he can do anything, PIC sends him flying over the guard rail and unto the fans with a back body drop! PIC goes over himself as the fans get out of the way. He grabs Frost by his head and begins to pummel him with right hands! He then brings him up, hooks him for a suplex and delivers it onto the row of chairs! )o)

G. Miller: This is the kind of action the fans love to see! In their face, so close they can taste it!

Paco: Man you are not kidding, I think I just saw a couple of fans licking PIC!!

B. Powers: Oh stop it!

(o(PIC pummels Frost with a few more right hands before bringing him back up and then taking him up the steps. The fans nearby are hollering and screaming patting PIC and Frost on their backs. PIC then hooks Frost between his legs as he stands on the steps. He then lifts him for a pile-driver, no, Frost blocks it, lifting PIC up as if he was going for a back body drop but spinning around and then slamming PIC forward with an Alabama slam!! A disturbing thud is heard as PIC’s head bounces off the concrete floor! Frost drops to one knee and you hear some of the fans cheering him on, while others cheer PIC on. Frost stumbles towards PIC, grabbing him but PIC grabs him too, and then with his feet delivers a monkey flip, sending Frost flying onto some empty chairs, where the fans had smartly moved out of the way! Frost is in big time pain, but so is PIC, who barely manages to get up. He stumbles toward the guard rail, past Frost and then gets back inside the ring area.. )o)

G. Miller: Where is PIC going!?!

Paco: Looks like he’s had enough, he’s quitting!

B. Powers: No he’s not! He’s getting back inside the ring, but for what though!?!

(o(PIC begins climbing the corner as the crowd cheers him on.. Frost is wrestling with the chairs, trying to make it to his feet. PIC is standing on the top turnbuckle, waiting for Frost… Frost finally makes it to an empty area and uses the guard rail to get to his feet.. He looks around wondering where PIC is.. he finally finds it, a second too late, as PIC jumps off from the top turnbuckle, flipping in mid air and landing on top of Frost with a shooting star press!! “OOOH!!” is heard from the crowd followed by the first “Holy shit! Holy shit!” chant of the night! The Insane-A-Tron shows the replay of PIC flying in mid air, showing the great hang time he got on his jump. Back to live action we go where we see Frost and PIC laying side by side, both not moving. The crowd is cheering both men on… PIC starts to show signs of life as he rolls over and throws his arm on top of Frost for the pin! One! Two! Th.. kick out!! “OOOH!” is heard from the crowd who definitely thought it was over! )o)

G. Miller: PIC flew through the air as if he had wins and connected with his trademark move! That was simply amazing!

B. Powers: and as amazing as that was, to me it was more amazing to see Frost kick out!

Paco: I think, what would be more amazing is if PIC pulls the move off again! Come on PIC!

(o(PIC stumbles to his feet and peels Frost off the ground. He then throws him over the guard rail. He goes over himself and then drags Frost towards the steel ramp. He then brings him to his feet, grabbing him by his hair and taking him up the ramp! PIC stops about half way up and then turns Frost around, pulls back on his head and hooks him for a reverse DDT! No, Frost fights him off, nailing him with a knee to the face, another, another, one more! PIC stumbles backwards releasing Frost as he drops to the ramp. Frost then tries to push himself up as PIC shakes his head, and then charges at Frost! Frost sees him coming though, and catches him, spinning around and dropping PIC with a spine-buster! “OOH!” is heard from the crowd followed by boos. Frost stumbles to his feet and then walks over to PIC’s legs. He grabs them and then drags him up all the way up the ramp… He then brings PIC to his feet and hooks him between his legs, he then brings him up for a power-bomb, then takes a running start down the ramp and then, as he is half way down, he drops PIC with a power-bomb! )o)

G. Miller: What a devastating running power-bomb by Frost!! That has got to be it!!

Paco: F’k yeah! PIC’s head has been bouncing off the mat, off the concrete and now twice off of the steel! He’s got to have a major concussion by now!!

B. Powers: Just think at what speed his body hits the ramp?! I mean Frost took a running start “down” the ramp!! Concussion city indeed!

(o(Frost gets on top of PIC and hooks both legs for the pin! The ref counts! One! Two! Th.. kick out by PIC!! “OOOH!” is heard from the crowd followed by cheers.. Frost looks at the ref in disbelief. Frost then notices the table and smiles slightly… He picks up PIC and then takes him down the ramp… he then tosses him inside the ring but holds him, so he’s right on the edge of the ring. Frost then hops on the ring as well and stands up outside of the ropes. He then brings PIC up and hooks him between his legs again! This time he hooks both arms before jumping off, and putting PIC through the table with a pedigree!! The crowd starts that chant again, you know the one.. “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” except that this time is more defying. Frost doesn’t go for the pin as he appears to have hurt his knee on impact.. PIC is twitching and appears to be seriously hurt.. Frost finally ignores the pain and makes his way over to PIC, dragging him out of the wreckage, flipping him over and making the pin! One! Two! Kick out!! )o)

G. Miller: HE KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT! He took Frost’s pedigree and still kicked out!

Paco: Now that’s what I’m talking about PIC! Show everyone that you deserve to the hardcore f’n champion!

B. Powers: That’s amazing that he kicked out! He’s been busted open, probably from a piece of wood but he still has enough sense in him to kick out! Wow!!

(o(Frost looks at the ref and grabs him by his shirt, accusing him of a slow count! The ref tells him it was only two and warns Frost. Frost lets him go and then pins PIC again! The ref counts, one! Two! Th.. kick out! Frost gets up and then tells the crowd is over… He flips PIC over so he’s face down and applies his cross-face finisher! PIC tries to get out of with whatever energy he has left.. He grabs the fire extinguisher Frost used earlier, and aims it at him, shooting him right in the face with it!! Frost immediately breaks the hold and rolls around the floor, burying his face in his hands! PIC stumbles to his feet and then walks over to the steel steps.. He pulls them away from the ring and then walks over towards Frost, wiping the blood that keeps oozing from a huge gash above his left eye away. He grabs Frost who can’t see a damn thing, and is swinging wildly. PIC gives him a kick to the mid section, slowing him down then turns him around, pulls back on his head and hooks him for a reversed DDT! PIC then walks backwards, up the steel steps. He then stands at the very top one before dropping Frost with a reversed DDT onto them!! )o)

G. Miller: Oh my!!! Did you hear that thud!?! Skull meeting steel sounds disturbingly nasty!!

Paco: Specially when the skull meets the edge of the steels steps! I think PIC just cut Frost deep on the back of his head!

B. Powers: Oh great, just what I want to see, brains oozing out of someone’s head. Excuse me for a second (faints.)

(o(Paco’s grabs Brandy as she falls on to him. He then lets her go as she softly falls on his lap. Paco has a very happy smile on his face until Miller pulls Brandy away and shakes his head at Paco. Back on the outside of the ring, PIC goes for the pin, hooking both legs for the pin! One! Two! Th.. kick out by Frost!! “OOOH!” is heard from the crowd but PIC is not fazed. He picks up Frost by his head and tosses him inside the ring. You see Frost’s head leave a streak of blood, obviously he’s busted open big time too. PIC slides in the ring himself and then lays Frost in front of one of the corners. He then climbs it as he calls for his finisher! The crowd cheers him on. He stands at the very top and then goes for a 450 splash! He connects… with nothing but mat as Frost rolled out of the way! PIC doubles over, holding his mid section in pain… Frost stumbles to his feet, holding the back of his head in pain.. PIC stumbles to his and then charges at Frost, going for a clothesline. Frost ducks it though, and takes PIC down to the mat and applies the cross-face submission again!! The crowd is on their feet, some booing loudly while others chant PIC’s name. The ref asks him if he gives up and he shakes his head “no!” He then tries to reach for the ropes but they are too far.. Frost pulls back hard, and PIC’s agony is obvious.. Blood starts to pour out of the cut above his eye again making the hold look even more painful! The ref asks him again if he gives up but PIC says no, and starts to inch his way over to the ropes.. Frost tries to hang on, but can’t as PIC is getting closer and closer! Frost pulls back even further now and PIC’s hand, which is inches away from the bottom rope drops to the mat! The ref asks him if he gives up but he gets no answer! The ref asks him again but again no answer! The ref then grabs his free arm, lifts it, lets it go and it drops! “One!” shouts the ref.. The crowd is cheering PIC on, chanting his name as the ref lifts his arm again, lets it go and it drops!! “Two!” shouts the ref as he brings the arm up one last time… He lets it go and it drops half way down as the crowd gasp! It moves up slightly but then hits the mat! “Three!!” shouts the ref as he then calls for the bell, it rings!)o)

J. Styles: Here is your winner, and the NEW Hardcore Champion of the World!!!! “THE COLD BLOODED KILLER” DEMARKO FROST!!!

(o(The crowd boos loudly as Frost’s music hits. He finally breaks the hold and falls flat on his back, dead tire as the ref hands him his two titles. The ref raises his arm in victory and the crowd continues to boo. )o)

G. Miller: Well the fans can boo him all they want, but you got to give DeMarko Frost his props!!

Paco: F’k yeah, he hit PIC with everything he had and then some!

B. Powers: Yeah. PIC hit him with everything he had too and Frost just kept fighting back, tonight was a night in which Frost would not be denied!

G. Miller: No he wouldn’t, and just like last year DeMarko Frost advances to the next round. Last year he faced El Linchador who was the World Champion and Lightweight Champion at the time, and unfortunately lost. Will he lose in this round?

Paco: It’s hard to say. I can’t even call it cuz he just had a very brutal match.

B. Powers: Yeah, and now that he is the hardcore champion, that means that his next match up will be hardcore rules too. He has a tough road ahead.

G. Miller: He will face the winner of our next match up, Pendragon vs. Blood!

Paco: Yeah, but we have a brief interview to show before we go to that. Let’s see who this is?

(o(The camera cuts to the back. It reveals Sean "Pit Bull" Holmes sitting next to A. J. The cameraman signal that they are ready for the interview. A. J. nods his head and begins...)o)

A. J.: So what do you think about that humiliating promo Draco cut?

Pit Bull: Well for one thing, the American Pit Bull Terriers, are very good dogs, despite their bad rep. Under the care of good owners they can be very obedient and protective dogs. The sheer power of this breed of dog is only for a select few who know how to handle the dog.

A. J.: Do you have anything to say to Draco and Casanova?

Pit Bull: Yeah I do. Draco, Casanova, I know you're watching this and I'mma tell you like I told Dark Figure, you fuck wit the dog, you're bound to get bit. Now your actions as of lately, have been rather childish. I will no longer let myself or Reggie to lower ourselves to such low levels of elementary kids. I've said it once and I'll say it again, what's next? "I know you are but what am I?" If you are looking for an easy win out of Reggie and myself, it ain't gon' happen. Now having that said I would like to quote, Chief Dan George, "What one fears, one destroys." And I guess you could say, that I fear you and your homosexual partner Casanova, so what I fear, I WILL destroy.

(o(The camera fades back to the commentators. )o)

G. Miller: Wow, very strong words by Pitbull.

Paco: That’s my boy, and if I know him and Savage like I think I do. I know they will back it up, fo’sho!

B. Powers: Well it won’t be an easy ride for them, that’s for sure.

G. Miller: It won’t be easy for either team. But Paco, Draco and Casanova also have to back up all the talk they did this past week. I mean they come to the ICWF full of a hype, how many wrestlers do you know of, that debut in an ICWF pay per view?

Paco: I know a few, and they all have delivered. But I think these two will be the first to fail, and fail miserably.

B. Powers: Savage must have giving you two bottles of that Vodka this week huh?

G. Miller: He probably did, hahaha. Well fans it’s time for the next match up of the night. The following is the last of the first round Clash of the Champions Tournament matches. The winner of this one, will go on to face DeMarko Frost in the second round!

Paco: This one isn’t hardcore rules though is it?

B. Powers: It sure isn’t, just good old fashion wrestling. Yey!

G. Miller: Yeah. Lucius Pendragon puts his Television Title on the line against Jason Blood who puts his Lightweight Title on the line. Pendragon isn’t a lightweight, but I’m sure he’ll take it with no problem.

Paco: Yeah, this is the only time in the ICWF where a heavyweight actually gets a shot at the lightweight title. It’s weird, but hella cool at the same time.

B. Powers: Yeah and I think this will Pendragon’s first real test in the ICWF. Sure the 4 way dance match was tough, but you are going up against one of the hottest wrestlers of the year, in Jason Blood. Lucius baby, if you’re listening, now it’s time to put up our…

Paco: Go back to the nut house ye’hoser!

B. Powers: Uh Paco, he’s not Canadian. But in any event, fans, lets send you back to Joey for the next match up!

(o(The camera switches over to the ring as Joey gets inside it. He looks around at the waiting fans who settle down. He then speaks.)o)

J. Styles: Palace of Auburn Hills, it’s time for the next bout! (crowd cheers) The following match is scheduled for one fall and it’s for the Television and World Lightweight Championships!!!

(o(The crowd continues to cheer. The Insane-A-Tron comes on, revealing. Lucius Pendragon walking down a hallway clutching his Television Title, which is thrown over his left shoulder, heading for the ring… Behind him you see about 6 men dressed in white, all wearing badges from the local mental institution. A door in front of him opens up, and out steps "The Party Animal" Reggie Savage with a bottle of vodka in his hand. Savage bumps into Pendragon, not seeing him coming, and they both stop and stare each other down. The men in white just look on.)o)

Reggie Savage: Nice belt...

(o(The two men stare each other down a little while longer, until Pendragon turns and walks off. The men in white follow him. Once he turns the corner Savage begins to walk in the other direction. )o)

Reggie Savage: It'll look better on me though, fuckin' weird-o...

(o(The Insane-A-Tron fades to black as you hear the crowd chuckling a bit… The few cheers that are heard, quickly turn to boos as 'Deliverance' by Opeth begins to pollute the atmosphere as a steady white strobe lights begin to circulate throughout the arena. Through a clouded pool of misty smoke walks Lucious Pendragon being followed by the men in white. He stalls at the front of the stage and then resumes walking down the ramp and into the ring. )o)

J. Styles: Introducing first, from Trenton, New Jersey… He is the Television Champion… Lucius Pendragon!!!

(o( He climbs the turnbuckle and raises his hands through the jeering crowd. The men in white surround the ring, to make sure Lucius doesn’t go anywhere else. The lights go down as the Insane-A-Tron starts to play a video of a mask.. A mask worn by only one man.. Blood drips over the screen as "Praise" by Sevendust comes over the PA as Jason Blood enters the arena... The crowd cheers loudly as Jason walks down to the ring with his manager Amber Dextris... )o)

J. Styles: His opponent, making his way to the ring from Statesville, North Carolina… He is the Lightweight Champion of the World!!! Jason Blood!!!

(o(Jason gets into the ring with her and poses for the crowd as they chant..."Flash us! Flash us! Flash us!" to Amber...Amber leaves after she takes Jason's coat and the crowd boos loudly.. Jason signals the ref he is ready..)o)

G. Miller: Well this match is set to go and guys, Lucius has come heavily guarded!

Paco: Yeah, you never know with this nutcase. He can say “screw the tournament” and try to make an escape.

B. Powers: I really doubt that.

(o(The bell rings and Pendragon and Blood size each other up before locking up in the middle of the ring. Pendragon quickly applies a headlock and then applies a hammerlock. Blood tries to get out of it, and does, reaching down between his legs, and pulling Pendragon’s leg, dropping him to the mat. Blood turns around, and goes to grab him but Pendragon kicks him off. Both wrestlers get to their feet quickly and lock up again. This time Blood applies the headlock but Pendragon right away pushes him off to the ropes! Blood bounces off and Pendragon nails him with a shoulder tackle, sending him down to the mat. Blood gets up right away though and bounces himself off the ropes again, They clash and again Blood goes down to the mat. Blood gets up a third time and goes to the ropes again, he bounces off, Pendragon gets ready but this time Blood delivers a drop kick to Pendragon’s knee, taking him down! Blood quickly gets on top of him and applies a headlock, keeping the Television Champion down. )o)

G. Miller: Pretty even match up here in the early going.

Paco: [yawn] I’m going to take a nap. Wake me up when it’s time for the next hardcore match.

B. Powers: Oh stop it you!

(o(Pendragon tries to get out of the hold, but can’t as Blood has a good grip. So he does the next best thing, grabbing the bottom rope nearby, making the ref tell Blood to break the hold. Blood does reluctantly and then quickly gets up, and begins to stomp on Pendragon, not giving him a chance to get up. Blood then delivers an elbow drop to the neck of Pendragon before applying the headlock again! Pendragon again grabs the rope right away and Blood is force to break the hold. As he breaks it, Pendragon steps to the outside to regroup… Blood doesn’t feel like letting him do that though, as he slides to the outside, turns him around and nails him with a right hand! Another! Another! One more! Pendragon is rocking and Blood grabs him and whips him towards the ring post! No, Pendragon reverses it, pulling Blood in and nailing him with a knee to the mid section! Blood doubles over and Pendragon hooks him under his arm and begins to pound him with forearm shots to the back! )o)

G. Miller: OH MY HE JUST PUT HIM THROUGH THE TABLE!

Paco: zzzzz HUH!?! WHAT? WHEN!?!

B. Powers: Hahaha (high fives Miller) you got him good!

(o(Paco curses at Miller as back to action we go, where the five times a dragon, I mean, Pendragon is driving his knee to Blood’s mid section repeatedly. Pendragon then lifts him for a body slam and delivers it on the hard mat floor. The ref reaches seven on the ten count and Pendragon picks up Blood and tosses him inside the ring. He goes in himself and then brings Blood to his feet. He whips him towards the ropes, Blood bounces off and Pendragon pushes him way up in the air, side steps him and letting him fall flat on his face! Blood holds his mid section, apparently having had the air knocked out of him. Pendragon quickly flips him over and pins him! One! Two! Kick out! Pendragon brings him back up and whips him towards the ropes. Blood bounces off and Pendragon catches him and drops him with a power-slam! Pendragon again makes the pin and the ref counts! One! Two! Th.. kick out by Blood! Pendragon brings him back up and applies an abdominal stretch. )o)

G. Miller: For the last 3 minutes it’s been all Lucius Pendragon. The Television Champion is looking really good, and looks like he could be keeping his undefeated streak alive.

Paco: He could, but it’s too damn early to tell. Jason Blood has been in some of the most brutal, and longest matches this year. So don’t count him out yet.

B. Powers: I think Pendragon knows this that is why he is trying to wear him out.

(o(The ref asks Blood if he gives up but he shakes his head no and then grabs Pendragon’s head with his free hand then uses it to pull himself up over his shoulder, breaking free and falling behind Pendragon! Blood quickly takes him down with a roll up for the pin! One! Two! Kick out! Both wrestlers quickly get to their feet and Pendragon goes for a clothesline! He misses though as Blood ducks it, runs towards the ropes, bounces off, and as Pendragon turns around he nails him with a spinning heel kick! Pendragon goes down hard and Blood gets on top of him, grabs him by his head and begins to pummel him with right hands! He then gets off of him and brings him to his feet. He then whips him towards the ropes, Pendragon bounces off and Blood nails him with a swift kick to the mid section. Pendragon doubles over and Blood runs towards the ropes, bounces off and nails Pendragon with a scissors kick! Blood flips him over and makes the pin! One! Two! Kick out! )o)

G. Miller: Blood has come alive in this time match up, and I know for some of his fans, they have to be saying, about time!

Paco: You know what I’ll never get, how can fans cheer for Blood, but boo Trent Steel when they are tag team partners?

B. Powers: It’s like the Ying Yang Paco. One represents good, one represents evil, but it is under the same circle.

(o(Blood gets to his feet and brings Pendragon to his. He then whips him towards the ropes, Pendragon bounces off and Blood sends him flying with a Japanese arm drag! Blood quickly gets up and goes to the corner as Pendragon is struggling to his feet. Blood climbs the corner and stands at the very top, waiting for Pendragon who finally makes it to his feet. He stumbles around, looking for Blood, finally finding him but a bit too late as Blood jumps off, landing on top of him with a Mosh pit! Blood hooks the leg for the pin! One! Two! Kick out by Pendragon. Blood gets to his feet and brings Pendragon to his. He then hooks him for a suplex, and tries to get him up, no, Pendragon blocks it and takes Blood down with an inside cradle! One! Two! Kick out! Both wrestlers make it to their feet quickly and Blood jumps onto Pendragon’s shoulders! He then spins around, hoping to go for a victory roll but Pendragon drops backwards, slamming Blood hard down to the mat!)o)

G. Miller: That one had to hurt Blood big time as that move is almost as powerful as a power-bomb!

Paco: You sure? It looks so damn simple! A guy drops backwards while the other is on his shoulders, what’s the big deal?

B. Powers: Some of the most powerful moves are the most simple ones.

(o(Pendragon stumbles to his feet and then walks over to Blood’s. He hooks them and then catapults him across the ring! Blood lands flat on his face then slides under the turnbuckle, and rams his shoulder against the steel post! Pendragon sees an opening, sliding to the outside and walking over to Blood. He grabs Blood’s arms and then slams it against the steel post! Blood grimaces in pain and Pendragon grabs the arm and does it again! The ref warns him from inside the ring but Pendragon ignores him. He grabs the arm and slams it one more time against the steel post and Blood screams in pain. Pendragon slides back inside the ring now and then drags Blood by his feet to the middle of the ring. He then gets down, hooking Blood’s arm with a pain killer!!! Blood is in serious pain now, and the ref asks him if he gives up? Blood shakes his head “no!” and then tries to reach for the ropes, but they are too far away! Pendragon continues to pull as hard as he can and Blood can’t seem to take much more! )o)

G. Miller: This could be it right here fans! Pendragon could become the last of the double champions here tonight!!!

Paco: I would consider this a big upset in the ICWF. I don’t care how talented Pendragon is!

B. Powers: Yeah it would be an upset indeed, and we already had one tonight with DeMarko Frost defeating PIC!

(o(The ref asks Blood again if he gives up? Blood doesn’t respond as he tries to crawl his way over to the ropes… Pendragon tries to hang on but Blood is managing to get close to the ropes… Pendragon gives one last pull and that brings out a loud scream from Blood who appears to be out know.. His arm drops and the ref checks him and asks him again if he gives up? There is no answer and the ref grabs his arm, he lifts it, lets it go and it drops! “one!” shouts the ref. He grabs the arm again, lifts it and lets it go… it drops! “two!” he shouts as he lifts the arm one last time, he lets it go and it drops… only half way though before coming back up and reaching for the bottom rope! The crowd cheers loudly and Pendragon shakes his head… He tries to hang on but can’t hold Blood as he reaches for the bottom rope, grabbing it! The ref tells Pendragon to break it but he refuses. The ref gives him the 5 count and Pendragon finally breaks the hold. He gets up, a bit upset and begins to stomp on Blood’s bad arm.)o)

G. Miller: Blood reached down deep to be able to reach the ropes!!

Paco: Hart of the champion ese! That’s what it’s all about in this tournament, having the heart of a champion! Simon que si!

B. Powers: Wow, that actually made sense. Good job Paco.

(o(Pendragon brings Blood to his feet and then applies an arm bar! Blood is in big time pain now and Pendragon twists the arm up, adding insult to injury. The crowd begins a “Ja-son! Ja-son!” chant and that seems to help the lightweight champion who begins to do a series of flips and twists and manages to reverse the hold! He then quickly begins to nail Pendragon in the mid section with a series of swift kicks! Pendragon takes about 5 of them before dropping to one knee, only to catch another kick straight to the throat! Pendragon drops to the mat as Blood lets him go. Pendragon holds his throat in pain and Blood brings him back up, hooks him, spins him around and drops him with a classic Rick Rude “neck-breaker!” Pendragon is now in serious pain and Blood appears not to be done.. He goes to the corner and jumps on the top turnbuckle.. He holds his arm in pain but manages to jump off, and connect with a guillotine leg drop! Blood goes for the pin and the ref counts, one! Two! Kick out!)o)

G. Miller: Oh how close was that pin!?!

Paco: Too damn close if you ask me!!

B. Powers: Blood has managed to bounce back big in this match up but you can tell his arm is still bothering him.

(o(Jason Blood gets to his feet and hen runs towards the ropes.. he jumps on to the top one then flips backwards, connecting with a springboard moon-sault! The crowd cheers loudly as Blood hooks the leg for the pin! One! Two! Th.. kick out! “OOOOH!” is heard from the crowd who definitely thought it was over. Blood gets up and brings Pendragon to his feet. He then whips him towards the ropes.. Pendragon bounces off, no he hangs on to them and this prompts Blood to charge at him! Pendragon moves at the last second though as Blood was jumping up, causing him to land on the top rope! Blood holds his jewels in pain as he sits on the top rope. Pendragon grabs the top rope and begins to move it up and down until Blood falls off, landing hard on his back! Pendragon stumbles over to Blood, grabbing his throat to check it before picking up Blood. He then hooks him for a suplex, but then hooks the leg as well and delivers a classic Mr. Perfect fisherman’s suplex! The ref quickly moves in for the pin! One! Two! Th.. kick out by Blood!)o)

G. Miller: Jason Blood barely got his shoulder up on that one! It was that close!

Paco: Yeah, and that’s cuz he hurt his other shoulder and Pendragon worked on that arm, so he’s hella weak!

B. Powers: Yeah, a few more slams on that bad shoulder and it could be all over for “the new face of fame!”

(o(Pendragon gets to his feet and brings Blood to his. He then lifts him for a body slam but instead of dropping him on the mat, he takes him to the corner and drops him shoulder first onto the top turnbuckle! Blood is in big time pain and Pendragon doesn’t give him a break, grabbing him and whipping him to the opposite side! The ref is there though, and Blood crashes into him, dropping him to the mat! Blood stumbles around but Pendragon grabs him and whips him again towards the corner. Blood hits hard and Pendragon charges at him, going for a splash but Blood moves out of the way at the last second and Pendragon hits nothing but turnbuckle! Blood quickly hooks Pendragon from behind, lifting him and dropping him with a side suplex! Suddenly, someone comes through the crowd… It’s Ryan Blasier! He hops the guard rail, carrying a baseball bat with 'Respect This' carved into it. He sneaks up on the unexpecting Blood who is climbing the corner!)o)

G. Miller: It's Ryan Blasier! What is he doing out here?

Paco: Maybe he wants more “air time.”

B. Powers: This guy is so obnoxious. Look out Blood!

(o(As Jason Blood stands at the very top, ready to deliver his finisher, Blasier nails him on his bad shoulder with the bat!!! The bat shatters and Blood lands hard on his bat and Blasier looks down at the him and says “Respect this!” )o)

G. Miller: Why the hell did he do that?!

Paco: I don't know. I didn't think he had a thing against Jason Blood. But he's definitely turned the tide of this match with, and pardon the pun, one swing of the bat.

B. Powers: That was pretty lame.

Paco: Was it? Or was it another homerun? Hahaha.

(o(Pendragon stumbles to his feet, seeing Blood down and he quickly picks him up. He hooks him for a suplex, lifts him but drops him with a hang’em brain-buster instead!!!! Pendragon hooks both legs for the pin, one! Two! Three! Bell rings!)o)

J. Styles: Here is your winner…. And the NEW Lightweight Champion of the World!!! LUCIUS PENDRAGON!!!

(o(The crowd boos loudly as the ref hands Pendragon his two titles. Pendragon’s music begins to play as the ref checks on Blood then calls for the paramedics! )o)

G. Miller: Jason Blood has been screwed here tonight, thanks to Ryan Blasier!

Paco: Man that guy has become as annoying as those damn Scream Stalker guys!

B. Powers: Now he’s leaving, yeah, now that the damage has been done!

(o(Blasier back tracks up the entrance ramp, pointing back at the ring and yelling at Pendragon who is wondering what the hell Blasier is talking about.)o)

G. Miller: What's he saying?

Paco: It sounded something like 'I told you I had your back. You can thank me later, Lucius' Did Blasier and Lucius have an arrangement set up beforehand? Or did Blasier just attack someone again at random?

B. Powers: Well Lucius looks like he doesn’t know what the hell Blasier is talking about. So I don’t know. That kid is mental. Blasier I mean, not that Lucius isn’t. More than likely he just attacked at random and now he's trying to make it seem as if Lucius was in it all along.

G. Miller: That would explain the confused look on Lucius face as he stares back at Blasier.

(o(Blasier disappears through the curtain as Pendragon’s music plays. The camera pans to the ring and a close up of the two pieces of broken bat laying in the ring. Pendragon notices and scratches his head.)o)

G. Miller: Yeah, we’re all confused here… One ting is for sure guys. Pendragon is 4 and 0 now, having won titles in back to back weeks!

Paco: Damn, that’s impressive!

B. Powers: It sure is. You always talk about all the rookies coming in, and who’s ahead of the class.. Who’s the one that’s going to be stepping up to the plate. I think it’s safe to say that Pendragon is one of them, he’s not only stepping up to the plate, he’s stomping on it!

G. Miller: He sure is and it’ll be interesting to see how he does against DeMarko Frost. So guys, the first round is done and we have Trent Steel taking on Titan 3 and again, DeMarko Frost taking on Lucius Pendragon. Surprises?

Paco: F’k yeah. No disrespect to DeMarko Frost but I thought this was the night where PIC faced off against Titan 3 again. I thought this would be the night where PIC won the World Title. I thought f’n wrong.

B. Powers: Yeah and I was surprised that Steel defeated Sullivan. I know that “technically” The Intercontinental Champion is suppose to beat the North American Champion, but, I don’t know. I thought Sullivan had more momentum going into the match.

G. Miller: I have to agree with both of you, but just like they say in football.. “this is why they play the game.” And speaking of playing the game fans, it’s time to play or rather, watch another match! We’ll take a break from the Tournament to give the wrestlers in it a little time to rest. Up next, is “The Table for Two” match!

Paco: Hell yeah! Hardcore!!!

B. Powers: for those of you fans that don’t know what a table for two is, I’ll explain. In order to win, you must put your opponent through two tables, before you can attempt a pin.

G. Miller: Sounds simple enough.

Paco: F’n A!

B. Powers: Sounds barbaric if you ask me, and there is no need for it.

Paco: Whatever behotch!

B. Powers: Oh no you didn’t you f’n wetback!

G. Miller: guys please! Fans lets go to Joey, who’s ready for the next match!
