***Due to time constraints, these results will be condensed. SMW results will continue ordinarily after this event, sorry for the delay these last few weeks***
AFTER A BRIEF MONTAGE HIGHLIGHTING ALL THE CARNAGE AT HARVEST FROM HELL, “WARRIOR” HIT AND A LARGE PYRO DISPLAY WENT OFF INSIDE A SOLD OUT WORCESTER CENTRUM, AND THE CROWD IN UNISON CAME TO THEIR FEET AS JOE DIANO’S THEME SONG HITS AND HE COMES OUT HOLDING THE SMW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.
Joe Diano: You know, I’ve been waiting my entire career to be introduced as the SMW World Heavyweight Champion, Joe Diano. I have sweat, bled, cried, and poured each of these unforgiving liquids into the squared circle to get where I am today. And now, twenty years after training my ass off all across the World from Mexico to Japan, Canada to Russia, and so on, I am glad to see that it has all paid off. You see, at Harvest from Hell, my life changed. Harvest from Hell signified the end of one journey, and beginning of another, and I swear to you all that-----
JOE DIANO IS CUT OFF BY J.J. RAMPLIN’S MUSIC AS HE MARCHES TO THE RING TO PLENTY OF BOOS.
JJ Ramplin: Look, I’m not here to rain on your parade, and I’m not here to take away from you winning the SMW title, because I know how much it means to you, just as you know how much it would mean to me. Now we’ve known each other for a long time, and although it’s no secret that you and I have had our differences in the past, why don’t we give these people what they want to see, and throw on a wrestling clinic as we go one on one for that SMW Heavyweight Championship. You see it appears as if my SMW contract is up at the end of the week, and the only way to void this contract would be if I were holding that title. So now I ask you, with no tricks, no mind games, no blindsided assaults, none of that… I am just asking you man to man to put that title on the line in a match here tonight!
Joe Diano: I say it’s on!
AFTER A BRIEF STAREDOWN, JJ RAMPLIN SURPRISINGLY STICKS OUT HIS HAND AS JOE DIANO COMPLETES THE HANDSHAKE. RAMPLIN THEN POINTS TO THE SMW TITLE ON JOE DIANO’S SHOULDER BEFORE ROLLING OUT OF THE RING, AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA.
BACKSTAGE JENNIE FINCH STANDS BY WITH JEREMY DART
Jennie Finch: Hello Jeremy, at Harv---
Jeremy Dart: See that’s where you shut the hell up, and let me talk. You see it is true that my accomplice Recon Rage and I were taken out at the hands of Lenny Armstead. But the chair shot I gave Lenny Armstead on the Aggression prior to the event clearly was what led to Lenny Armstead retiring from SMW. And therefore it is I who deserves to be the next TV Champion. And tonight I face Low Ki to claim a spot in the six way TV Title ladder match qualifier, in which I will go one step further in becoming the TV Champ!

Sebastian X vs. Bone Collector
These two SMW newcomers battled it out in a great wrestling contest. Bone Collector, who has punched his ticket into the 6-way ladder match at Lethal Lottery, came out with everything he had and took the fight right to Sebastian X. However after running at Sebastian X, Sebastian X ducked down and hip checked him right over the top rope and to the floor. Sebastian X then followed him out and stomped a mudhole in Bone Collector before picking up the steel steps. However when the ref warned Sebastian X that he would be disqualified, X put the steps down, only to be dropkicked from behind by Bone Collector. Bone Collector threw Sebastian X into the ring and then unloaded an arsenal of suplexes on Sebastian. After several pin attempts, and several near falls, Bone Collector decided to climb up to the top rope. He stalked Sebastian from up there and waited for him to get up, however when he did, Sebastian X quickly grabbed the ref and held him in front of him almost as a human shield. Bone Collector had no choice but to get off the top rope and try to get Sebastian X away from the ref. Sebastian X however had a great plan as he threw the ref slightly out of the way, but the ref was turned away long enough for Sebastian X to kick Bone Collector right in the groin with a mule kick, before hitting a devastating DDT as the ref turned around and made the reluctant 3 count.

BACKSTAGE IN PRESIDENT JOE COREY’S OFFICE, A KNOCK IS HEARD AT THE DOOR
Joe Corey: Come in.
JAKE DIAMOND AND THE REST OF THE DIAMOND EXPRESS STORMS INTO THE OFFICE
Jake Diamond: Look Corey, I don’t see how you are allowing JJ Ramplin to get a rematch for the World title yet I, the former champion, am nowhere to be seen on tonight’s card.
Joe Corey: Well as everyone knows, we have the Lethal Lottery coming up, and tonight we are going to have the live lottery to decide which superstars will team up in this tournament. There will be a total of eight teams in which the partners will be picked randomly. Over the next two Aggression’s, preliminary matches will take place with the winners of those matches going onto the semi-final matches which will take place at Lethal Lottery. The winning teams of those semi-final matches will advance to the battle bowl. The battle bowl will contain four men who will compete in an over the top rope battle royal with of course the winner going on to face the world champion that very same night in the main event. Jake, you will be entered in the tournament, so there’s your chance to get back into the World title hunt… until then, get the hell out of my office.
Jake Diamond: But what about the main event… why not make it a triple thre---
Joe Corey: I said get out!
Jake Diamond: Screw you Corey! You’ll regret this!
BACK AT RINGSIDE
6-Man TV Title Ladder Match Qualifier: Hassad vs. Gunner Scott
Gunner Scott never got a chance in this one because as he was making his way to the ring, Jeremy Dart assaulted him from behind on the stage. He knocked him down with a club to the back, and then just wailed on him, punching and kicking him repeatedly. He pulled him to the ring, and Irish whipped him right into the steel steps, when at that point Hassad made his way out to the ring. They began to double team Gunner Scott, and literally picked him apart head to toe. Eventually Dart grabbed the timekeeper’s chair and dented it over the skull of Gunner’s head. Gunner Scott was busted wide open as Hassad threw him into the ring, and followed in, forcing the referee to call for the bell to begin the match. Hassad then climbed up to the top rope and jumped off with a moonsault on a defenseless Gunner Scott to give him the victory in record time, and punching his ticket into Lethal Lottery.
Match Time: 0:11
AFTER THE MATCH, LOW KI RAN OUT TO THE RING AND CHASED JEREMY DART AND HASSAD OUT OF THE RING, FORCING THEM TO BAIL THROUGH THE CROWD.
BACKSTAGE IN COMMISSIONER DUSTIN STERN’S OFFICE WITH LUTHER REIGNS AND SATAN’S SON.
Satan’s Son: Look, we were screwed out of a tag team title shot for Harvest from Hell, we should’ve been in that match, and if we were, we would’ve won it.
Dustin Stern: Yeah but it was you two who beat down the tag champs after the match… you two should be suspended so don’t come in here giving me this bull about how you guys deserve a title shot. Besides, you guys aren’t the number one contenders, and without Austin Aimes and Carl James’ consent, you guys are unable to receive a title shot anyways.
JUST THEN, CARL JAMES AND AUSTIN AIMES, THE NEW TAG CHAMPS, STEP INTO THE SHOT.
Austin Aimes: Hey Dustin, I couldn’t help but overhear that conversation you guys were having.
Carl James: We back down to no one so if these punks want a shot, so be it… that’s just one more W in the win column.
Dustin Stern: I think we can all agree on a date for this match. What about the biggest event in all of SMW? Lethal Lottery!
LUTHER REIGNS AND SATAN’S SON DON’T TAKE THEIR EYES OFF OF AUSTIN AIMES AND CARL JAMES AS THE SHOT FADES TO COMMERCIAL BREAK.

Last Man Standing: Mr. Charisma vs. J-Rod Jefferson
This was a great match that was long awaited, and James Robinson announced during the match that it would be Mr. Charisma’s last in SMW. Things got ugly early when Mr. Charisma clotheslined J-Rod out of the ring, and then followed out, before reaching under the ring and grabbing a garbage can. After smacking J-Rod in the head 4 times with the lid, Charisma put the can over J-Rod’s head, and then clotheslined him down. Charisma then took J-Rod’s head and bounced it off the announce table several times before finally taking the monitor from the table and got ready to hit J-Rod with it. However when J-Rod got up, Charisma swung the monitor at him, but J-Rod ducked down and the monitor hit the ring post and smashed to pieces. J-Rod then pulled Charisma down with a reverse neckbreaker from behind. J-Rod then lifted up the steel steps and waited for Charisma to get up, but when Charisma got to his knees, he low blowed J-Rod, before dropkicking the steps right in his face. He then climbed up on the apron and leaped off with a leg drop. The ref began counting but Charisma was up at 2. J-Rod then reached under the ring and started to get creative, pulling out a stop sign, and using the metal pole part of it to choke out Charisma. After a good minute of choking him out, J-Rod took the sign and smacked it over he forehead of Charisma. Charisma was busted open as the ref began counting again, but he was up at 5. J-Rod then set Charisma up on the announce table. J-Rod then climbed to the top rope, and leaped off with a elbow drop that Charisma moved out of the way for, allowing J-Rod to crash right through. “HOLY SHIT” chants rung through the audience as the ref began counting. Incredibly, at 9, J-Rod used the barricade to lift himself up, but he definitely had just about nothing left in him. Charisma took advantage of his, taking him down with a huge clothesline that took him inside out. Charisma then reached under the ring and got a table and set it up. He set it up, only to have J-Rod tackle him down from behind. The two battled it out and got back in the ring, trading shots up and down the ring for a good 2 minutes. Eventually J-Rod hit a beautiful swinging neckbreaker before sliding under the ring and getting a ladder. He brought it in and hit Charisma right between the eyes with it. He then set it flat on the second rope in the corner, but Charisma grabbed J-Rod from behind and scoop slammed him onto it. J-Rod was screaming in pain, as Mr. Charisma set the ladder standing up in the corner of the ring. He picked up J-Rod and got him in an electric chair drop position before climbing up the ladder. Fans stood in awe as Mr. Charisma went to electric chair drop him off the ladder to the outside, but J-Rod flipped over and hit a reverse hurricanrana all the way to the outside of the ring, making both men crash through the table set up earlier. The fans went into a frenzy as the referee counted to 10 with both men still knocked out on the ground as he called for the bell, calling for the draw.
Match Time: 14:56
BACKSTAGE IN PRESIDENT COREY’S OFFICE WHO IS WITH JON STERN, A KNOCK COMES ON THE DOOR AND UFC PRESIDENT DANA WHITE STEPS IN TO A BIG POP FROM THE CROWD.
Joe Corey: Just the man I wanted to see.
Dana White: Glad to be here Joe… and it’s good to see you again, Jon.
Jon Stern: Likewise.
Joe Corey: Let’s get right down to business shall we. The UFC is, as you know, collaborating with the TWF. I say we take that right to SMW where we can proudly say we have one of the greatest UFC fighters to ever step foot in the octagon, training with us. Now we got SMW’s biggest pay-per-view of the year coming up in Lethal Lottery, and I say we have ourselves a first ever SMW superstar versus UFC superstar inside the octagon!
Dana White: Hey Jon, that’s not it. As many people know, UFC has just bought PRIDE Fighting. Therefore we will bring back to the octagon, one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. He is a wrestling freestyler with unmatchable power. He has a mixed martial arts record of fifteen wins and eight losses. He is UFC’s first ever Heavyweight champion, a pioneer in the sport, and he took part in the 1992 summer Olympics for wrestling. Ladies and gentlemen… “The Hammer” Mark Coleman!
JON GIVES DANA WHITE A LONG STAREDOWN BEFORE SMILING AND SLAPPING HANDS WITH WHITE.

6-Man TV Title Ladder Match Qualifier: Low Ki vs. Jeremy Dart
Low Ki ran right down to the ring, and immediately took the fight to Jeremy Dart with his spectacular offense. He tossed Dart outside the ring, and used a running springboard crossbody from the second rope over the top rope to the outside onto Jeremy Dart. However Dart showed his aggression and when he got up, he hit stiff kick after stiff kick to the gut of Low Ki, and then followed them up with a beautiful clothesline that took Low Ki inside out on the floor. The fight then went back in the ring, and Low Ki tried to run at Dart with a head of steam, but Dart caught him up in a fireman’s carry and dropped his opponent into a gut buster. Dart was working over the ribs of Low Ki, tossing him up into the air and letting him fall front first to the mat. Jeremy Dart then got in a bow and arrow type hold, putting more pressure on Low Ki’s gut. Low Ki began to fight back with spin kicks and finally an enziguri. Low Ki then hit a super kick to the chest of Jeremy Dart and went to the top. Low Ki leaped off with a moonsault but Dart moved out of the way and Low Ki hit the mat hard, again hurting that injured ribcage area. Dart took advantage again, getting into some vicious holds on the mat that made it seem as if Low Ki was on the verge of tapping out. However with the crowd behind him (something that he hasn’t been used to for a long time), he used all his energy and some assistance from the ropes to get Dart off and get back to his feet. But again, Dart got in a huge knee to the gut of Low Ki, before hitting an absolutely bone crushing stump piledriver. Low Ki was out as Jeremy Dart went for the cover, but out came Gunner Scott to get revenge for earlier in the night. However, while the ref was working to get Gunner back to the back, Hassad came from the crowd with a steel chair, pulled Low Ki by the feet out of the ring, and then smacked the chair right over his forehead. Hassad then threw Low Ki back in the ring as Jeremy Dart went into the cover, and the ref had no choice to make the 3 count, not seeing what had just transpired.
Match Time: 8:07
AFTER THE MATCH, GUNNER SCOTT RAN INTO THE RING BUT THE NUMBERS GAME PLAYED AGAINST HIM AS JEREMY DART AND HASSAD JUST BEAT ON GUNNER. THINGS GOT WORSE FOR HIM AS RECON RAGE CAME OUT TO THE RING AND JOINED IN ON THE BEATING, BEFORE TAKING HIS NIGHTSTICK AND CRACKING IT OVER THE SKULL OF GUNNER SCOTT. HASSAD AND JEREMY DART THEN LIFTED UP LOW KI AS RECON RAGE DID THE SAME TO HIM, HITTING HIM WITH THE NIGHTSTICK RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES. THE 3 OF THEM THEN STOOD WITH THEIR HANDS RAISED IN THE RING, LOOKING VERY PROUD OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.

JOE COREY’S THEME SONG HITS AND HE COMES DOWN TO THE RING WITH A MICROPHONE.
Joe Corey: Ladies and gentlemen, the time you’ve been waiting for… the time that you wait for each and every year leading up to Lethal Lottery. After random drawing, the eight teams for Lethal Lottery have been chosen. We will see Big Evil Nate team up with Shannon Moore, Matt Stryker team with Recon Rage, Aaron Stevens team with Dylan Page, Mr. Vain and Low Ki, Jake Diamond and Ted Huntsman, Nova and J-Rod Jefferson, Aries and Ashida Kim, and finally Steve Bradley and Sebastian X! All these men have a chance at an SMW Heavyweight title match, now good luck to you all as preliminary round matches begin next Aggression!
BACKSTAGE JAKE DIAMOND IS BEING INTERVIEWED BY JENNIE FINCH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN TED HUNTSMAN COMES UP.
Ted Huntsman: Look man, I don’t like you, and you don’t like me, but that title shot is one I deserve after spending three years in SMW and cleaning house in those three years.
Jake Diamond: You deserve it? That’s a joke. I won the battle bowl last year and ended Max Ogden’s reign. Yet when I’m not even involved in the decision, I lose my title to Joe Diano? And you think you’re the one who deserves the shot?
Ted Huntsman: Why, you got a problem with that?
Jake Diamond: Yeah I got a problem with that, you damn punk.
JAKE DIAMOND SLAPS TED HUNTSMAN RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE, BUT BEFORE HUNTSMAN CAN RETALIATE, DYLAN PAGE ATTACKS HUNTSMAN FROM BEHIND. THE TWO THEN BEAT ON HUNTSMAN BEFORE SECURITY PULLS BOTH MEN BACK AND HONKY TONK MAN IS SEEN IN THE SHOT LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY.
Jake Diamond: Corey thinks he can strip me of the title shot I deserve? This isn’t over.

SMW Heavyweight Championship: Joe Diano vs. JJ Ramplin
Before this match started, the two stars slapped hands showing each other some respect, but then it was all down to business as the two realized the stakes of this match and began trading shots. Joe Diano went for the Irish whip but coordinated wrong when he bent over too soon and JJ kicked him right in the face. Ramplin then hit a beautiful clothesline, before picking Diano up and hitting him with a running powerslam. Ramplin got the early advantage and kept taking out Diano with an arsenal of suplexes. However Diano reversed a gordbuster by flipping over and landing on his feet, before kicking Ramplin with a shuffle side kick right to the face. Diano went for the cover but Ramplin was out easily at 1. Diano then stayed on the mat and executed a triangle choke. But Ramplin hit a beautiful counter when he stood up with Diano still on his shoulders in the triangle, and electric chair dropped him onto the mat. JJ went into the cover but Diano got his shoulder up at two. Ramplin then got up and lifted Diano up, before lifting him up in a gorilla press position and throwing him right over the top rope and to the floor. Ramplin followed him out, grabbed Diano by the back of the head and started ramming him right into the steel steps repeatedly, and on the final time, pulled him in and got him with a Russian leg sweep on the outside. Ramplin then threw Diano into the ring and followed in, before lifting him up and putting him in another gorilla press position. However this time Diano jumped down and hit the Diano Dream from behind. Diano hooked the leg and covered him but miraculously, Ramplin was up at only 2. Diano even looked shocked as he lifted Ramplin up again, and went for the Diano Dream for the second time, but Ramplin pushed Diano against the ropes, and ran him over with a spear. Ramplin went into the cover but Diano was up at 2! The crowd stood in awe as they realized history was being made when all of the sudden, Jake Diamond hit the ring with a steel chair. First he cracked it over the skull of the referee, before hitting Ramplin, and then Diano with it. Both men were laid out as Jake Diamond screamed, “I told you you’d pay Corey, this should’ve been MY title shot!” When the ref regained consciousness, he called for the bell, ending the match in a controversial way, as the ring announcer called it as a draw.
Match Time: 10:27
BOTH DIANO AND RAMPLIN GOT UP AFTER THE MATCH, SHOCKED AT WHAT JUST HAPPENED, JAKE DIAMOND INDIRECTLY COSTING JJ RAMPLIN HIS CAREER. JOE DIANO WAS GIVING RAMPLIN WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AS RAMPLIN SURPRISINGLY STUCK OUT HIS HAND. JOE DIANO COMPLETED THE HANDSHAKE AND BEGAN TO WALK OUT OF THE RING. HOWEVER JJ THEN TAPPED ON DIANO’S SHOULDER, AND WHEN DIANO TURNED AROUND, RAMPLIN RAN HIM OVER WITH THE “RAM’S HORNS”! THE CROWD GAVE A MIXED REACTION BUT SURPRISINGLY THE CHEERS WERE QUITE LOUD AS SEVERAL “THANK YOU RAMPLIN” CHANTS WERE HEARD, AND THE SHOT FADED OUT TO RAMPLIN STANDING IN THE RING TO QUITE A POP.
