The pyros explode in the arena as Tourniquet plays.
Mister Mav: Welcome to Lockdown! Joshman has strep throat and has asked that I, in an act of solidarity, speak only when necessary, so let’s get to the action as I carefully choose when I speak tonight!
Tag Title Match
Instruments
of Destruction hits to strong heat as Lock strolls onto the stage, flanked by
JJ Massacre. Lock's trenchcoat billows
slightly as he makes his way down the ramp and slides into the ring, walking to
the nearest turnbuckle and stands on the second rope, staring out into the
crowd. Massacre picks a turnbuckle for
himself and imitates Lock, glaring at the fans with a crazed look on his face. Evolution hits to a pop, and Lone Wolf and
Red Fusion walk out to the stage. The
two of them nod slightly at each other before darting down the ramp and sliding
into the ring, but Lock and Massacre bail out.
Lock begins to yell at Fusion, demanding that he go to his corner as
Lock climbs onto the apron, letting Massacre begin the match against Lone Wolf.
The two men
lock up and Lone Wolf gets Massacre into a hammerlock before taking him down
with an arm drag. Massacre pops back
onto his feet and walks right into a samoan drop. This time Massacre is a little slow getting to his feet and Lone
Wolf goes to pull him up, but Massacre hits Lone Wolf with a quick low blow,
sending Lone Wolf to the mat. The ref
confronts Massacre, telling him not to do that again, but Massacre just grins
and tags in Lock. Lone Wolf gets onto
his feet, but Lock kicks him in the chest.
Lone Wolf doubles over and Lock bounces off the ropes and hits a hard
scissors kick, sending Lone Wolf back down to the mat. Fusion starts yelling at Lock, but Lock
brushes him off before stomping on Lone Wolf.
Lock pulls Lone Wolf to his feet and whips him into the ropes. Lone Wolf tries coming off with a
clothesline, but Lock ducks the attack and locks in the Lockmission! Lockmission to Lone Wolf!
Lone Wolf
struggles to reach the ropes, but Lock has him in the center of the ring. Red Fusion tries to come into the ring, but
the ref cuts him off. Massacre notices
the distraction and heads into the ring, hitting a few hard jabs in Lone Wolf's
ribs before sneaking back into his corner.
The ref finally gets Fusion back onto the apron and it looks like Lone
Wolf can't hold out much longer. Lock
tightens his grip, but Lone Wolf backs into the corner, slamming Lock into the
turnbuckle. Lock manages to maintain
his grip, but Lone Wolf has the ropes.
The ref threatens to disqualify Lock, but Lock releases the hold. Lone Wolf begins to stagger toward his
corner to tag in Fusion, but Lock catches him and hits a sleeper slam.
The crowd
begins to chant for the cherry as Lone Wolf struggles to get to his
corner. Lock tags in Massacre, who
rushes into the ring and grabs Lone Wolf's leg, dragging him back to the center
of the ring right as he was about to make the tag. The fans start to boo as Massacre drops a few elbows onto Lone
Wolf's back before lifting Lone Wolf onto his feet. Massacre sets up the Prescription, but Lone Wolf staggers
Massacre with a hard elbow to the gut and hits the LW Piledriver. LW Piledriver out of nowhere, and it looks
like that move took everything that Lone Wolf had left in him! Both men are down, and the ref begins the
ten count.
At seven
both men begin to stir, both of them struggling to reach their corner and make
the tag. Fusion is standing on the
second rope, reaching in as far as he can, and the crowd wants him in the
match. Massacre makes the tag to Lock,
who tries to stop Lone Wolf, but Fusion stretches even further and gets the
tag. Fusion makes his way into the ring
and ducks a clothesline from Lock before answering with a clothesline of his
own. Lock gets to his feet and takes a
swing at Fusion, but Fusion blocks and answers with a right of his own. Lock swings again, but Fusion blocks and
counters again, staggering the owner.
Lock goes for a superkick out of desperation, but Fusion sidesteps and
hits a belly to belly suplex on Lock.
Fusion screams at Lock, demanding that he get up, and Lock struggles to
his feet. Lock goes to hit Fusion with
a hard right, but Fusion blocks it and hits the Pain Train. Pain Train to Lock! Fusion goes for the cover! One...two...NO! Massacre managed to break up the pinfall, and then charges at
Lone Wolf, who is trying to maintain his balance on the apron. Massacre dives through the ropes, taking
Lone Wolf down with a hard spear! Both
men land outside the ring, and it looks as though that maneuver did as much
damage to Massacre as it did to Lone Wolf.
Neither man is moving!
Back in the ring Fusion is up and pulls Lock to his feet, but Lock elbows Fusion in the chest and sets up the Lockdown, but Fusion backdrops out of it. Lock staggers back onto his feet and Fusion goes for the Pain Train, but Lock floats out and kicks Fusion in the chest, setting up the Lockdown again. Fusion backdrops out again, but Lock lands on his feet! Fusion turns around and Lock goes to kick him in the chest once more, but Fusion catches his leg and hits an intense clothesline! Fusion drags Lock back onto his feet and hits the Pain Train! Red Fusion covers, one, two, three!
Winners: The New Blood via Pinfall to retain the Tag Titles
Red Fusion stands over Lock and shouts at him, but Massacre suddenly tears into the picture and drills Fusion with the Fall Out!
Mister Mav: Red Fusion gets a measure of revenge, but the fall out of this match saw just that, JJ Massacre connecting on Red Fusion, and those two could meet in ten days in the Lord of the Ring Tournament!
Fear is shown in a dimly lit room, surrounded by mirrors.
Fear: We’re getting close, Marauder. You and I are going to jerk the curtains at Lord of the Ring, with one of us getting a shot at the richest prize in this business, and the other being left with seemingly insurmountable odds in his way to get the same. But I’m not even concerned about that yet, because at Lord of the Ring, it is time that I finish what I started almost two months ago. The undoing of Triple M. We’ve talked about mirrors, we’ve used them to assault each other, and that is where our fate lies. We open Lord of the Ring, Triple M, but not in just any old match. You think you can humiliate me? Face me in the match that I made famous, face me…in the Hall of Mirrors. That’s right, one of the most difficult and strenuous matches, a unique gem that makes LWF famous, and will we see which of us—
The mirror behind Fear suddenly shatters, knocking him down, and Triple M emerges from the hole, standing over Fear and staring down at him.
Triple M: Challenge…accepted.

Mister Mav: CoolJ is here, but who is his partner?

Psiko still has Nomad in the People’s Punishment, but Emperor comes out of the crowd and is standing on the barricade, and he jumps off the barricade and hits the Leap of Royalty on Psiko at ringside! The fans are cheering loudly as Emperor poses with the LWF Title!
Commissioner Arelas is shown at his desk.
Arelas: Commissioner Arelas here, with not one, not two, but five matches prepared to be added to Lord of the Ring, a title match, and the tournament first round matches. First item of business, the title match. Earlier tonight we saw CoolJ’s return to the ring, and at Lord of the Ring we will see if he returns to gold, as he challenges Iceman for the Imperial Title. But wait! It gets better. The Book of Imperialist reads as follows, that Iceman defends the Imperial Title in a triple threat match, against CoolJ and his partner from earlier tonight, Nomad.
A graphic is shown of the title match. Graphics are then shown of the tournament matches as Arelas lists each matchup.
Arelas: And now, you first round matches. Fear and Triple M will indeed square off in a Hall of Mirrors Match, and the loser enters the tournament and will face JJ Massacre in the first round. The other half of that bracket will see Dr. K against Red Fusion. On the other half of things, Fusion’s partner, Lone Wolf, will face the Cross-Hemisphere Champion, Diablo. In our final first round match, Ruff Rabbi will face Killer Krash, and fans, those matches are all signed, sealed, and slashed.
A commercial is shown for LWF: Lord of the Ring. The theme for Lord of the Ring is Superstar by Saliva.
Piggy Pie hits to strong heat as Dr. K comes down the ramp. He slides into the ring, then spins around and drops to his knees with his arms extended. Rise hits to a massive pop as Phoenix rises from the flames and makes his way down to the ring. The two circle in the ring before locking up.

Dr. K covers, one, two, three!
Winner: Dr. K via Pinfall
Mister Mav: What an upset! You have to give the assist to Lock, who caused the distraction, but Dr. K just pinned Phoenix! Dr. K has a ton of momentum behind him, could he be the next Lord of the Ring?
Dr. K rolls out of the ring and celebrates with Lock to strong heat, and Psiko slides in and points at Phoenix and laughs. Psiko turns and points at Dr. K as he stands with Lock on the ramp, and Phoenix kips up behind Psiko. Psiko hears the crowd erupt and slowly turns around, and when he sees Phoenix he bails out of the ring, scrambling up the ramp and hiding behind his stablemates, as Phoenix stares at him from the ring.
