:: THURSDAY NIGHT REDEMPTION ::
27th June 2002

[As the Thursday Night Redemption music comes to a finish for the first time ever, the show begins with a shot of the commentators, Gav Jones and Taff.]

GAV: "Wow! Welcome to the fantastic, first ever Redemption!"

TAFF: "It sure feels good to have the fed back in the race!"

GAV: "Fantastic, isn't it?!"

[Before the conversation progresses further, music starts playing loudly. It is "Real American". The crowd leaps to its feet.]

TAFF: "Here he comes! The man the people love! It's ...THE HUCKSTER!"

GAV: "FANTASTIC!"

[It is indeed The Huckster, dressed in red and yellow tights, white boots, a red bandana, and the traditional yellow vest. He makes his way out under the "McMartyn-tron" and starts posing.]

TAFF: "I can't think of any better way to start the first ever Thursday show!"

GAV: "It's all just so... FANTASTIC!"

[Having exhausted all his positions, The Huckster finally stomps his way down the ramp. He wavers to the side to slap the hands of a few front-row fans, then clambers up the steps and into the ring. Once there, The Huckster proceeds to run through his arsenal of taunts once again. If anything, this only intensifies the cheering.]

TAFF: "Here he is! Giving the fans exactly what they came to see!"

GAV: "Smashing, but I think they came here to see some wrestling too...."

[Finally, as The Huckster's music comes to an end, he motions for Mr Tuck to throw him a mic so he can address all the "Huckamaniacs". The Huckster waits several seconds until all the chants have died away, then raises the mic to his mouth.]

HUCKSTER: "I hope all you little dudes out there are taking your vitamins, saying your prayers, and buying "The Huckster's" merchandise! Yeah, baby!"

[Despite being a transparent sales ploy, this still elicits more cheering.]

HUCKSTER: "But "The Huckster" didn't come out here for that! He came out here to address ...The McMartyns!"

[The mention of this familiar name causes booing to erupt.]

HUCKSTER: "I know how you feel, little brothers...."

[Cheering again.]

GAV: "Isn't this brilliant?!"

TAFF: "I think you're over-excited. He hasn't really said anything important, yet..."

HUCKSTER: "The Huckster" has no beef with Jud McMartyn. She is the only one of them "The Huckster" considers a brother! "The Huckster" has no such feeling for the other two, however. Clive McMartyn, "The Huckster" appreciates you bringing back the CWF..."

[Cheers.]

HUCKSTER: "The Huckster" appreciates being on the roster..."

GAV: (He is almost breathless with excitement)"..fantastic...!"

HUCKSTER: "What "The Huckster" doesn't appreciate, "boss-man", is you trying to give the big belt to your little man! All these Huckamaniacs in here know who "The Huckster" is talking about...."

[On cue, the fans send up a chant of "Andrew sucks!".]

HUCKSTER: "Right on, brothers!"

[This simple remark changes the fan reaction instantly. More cheering ensues.]

HUCKSTER: "The Huckster" has never gotten along with the "boss-man", or his little dude, and "The Huckster" feels it his duty to make them pay for all those years without vitamins, prayers, or Huckstermania, baby!"

TAFF: ""The Huckster" seems to be challenging Clive and Andrew right now!"

HUCKSTER: ...."The Huckster" dares you pair to come down here, right now!"

[The crowd grow silent, listening intently for the sound of any familiar entrance theme.]

TAFF: "I wonder who it'll be? Andrew, Clive, or both?"

GAV: "I'm sure it'll be smashingly fantastic anyway!"

[There are a few moments silence before someone's music hits. It is not "Control", or "No Chance", however, it is, in fact, "My Life". This sends the fans into a renewed frenzy, as "The Man" parades into the arena and down the entrance ramp. He is dressed in an all white suit, with a purple top beneath, and a purple hat with matching feather. In his white-gloved hands is an expensive looking cane. Phil jogs up the ring steps into the centre of the ring, where he goes on to perform a few funky dance moves. Eventually, he signals his music to stop. Another mic is thrown to Phil. "The Man" clumsily drops his cane and he juggles the mic. Eventually he gets it under control and picks up his cane. He turns to face his ally and friend, "The Huckster".]

PHIL: "Huckster", "The Man" couldn't sit back there, listen to you bitch about the McMartyn family, call them down here, and get away with it!"

[The crowd gasps. It sounds like Phil is defending the McMartyns.]

PHIL: "I couldn't let you do all that and get away with it, ...not unless "The Man" gets to join in!"

[This returns the crowd to its steady cheering.]

PHIL: ""The Man" believes in you, "Huckster", and is gonna stand by you, no matter what! "The Man" has just as much beef with the McMartyns as "The Huckster"!"

["The Huckster" lifts his mic to reply, but before he can, another theme hits. Once more, it is not a McMartyn's theme. This time, it is "Pushing Me Away". Dan struts out onto the stage, dressed in his wrestling attire and coat, but minus his hat. He already has a mic in hand. He waits for the music, and the booing, to end before he speaks.]

TAFF: "What is Dan doing here?!"

DAN: "Hold on a minute, Phil. What do you think you're doing?!"

[Phil looks grim as he raises his mic to speak.]

PHIL: "What do YOU want, Dan?! You come out here to speak for Andrew?! Is he too scared, or something?!"

[This annoys Dan.]

DAN: "What are you talking about?! I have no affiliation with Andrew, or any McMartyn! "The Huckster" was supposed to tell you that..."

PHIL: "He did..."

DAN: "What, didn't you trust him then?"

PHIL: "I'd trust "The Huckster" with my li-, NO, more than my life! I'd trust him with my beer! You're the one I don't trust! I have no reason to believe a word you say!"

[There is a "Swede!" chant started in honour of Phil.]

DAN: "Well, maybe you will from now on. It is true. I am not a McMartyn crony!"

PHIL: "So why are you out here?"

DAN: ."..Because you are, Phil. I am in the CWF because you are. I came here for a chance to fight you, and you alone."

PHIL: "You already did. In a cage. You was done like a kipper!"

DAN: "You think that's it?! That display of your, so called, "Rage", was pitiful! I want to see what "The Rage" really lets you do! Do you remember, Phil, the final battle between the CCW and the CWF? Two teams of all the best each side could muster. We fought as allies on that day, Phil. I fought like I was possessed, that day. Two people fell victim to me before I was beaten down. Then your turn came. You fought like a monster! Five people, Phil! You knocked out five people in less than ten minutes! Now you're telling me that your struggling performance in that cage was the same "Rage" that left a pile of CCW bodies in your wake?!"

PHIL: "Okay, I see your point. But still, it doesn't look like I even needed "The Rage" to beat you, does it?!"

DAN: "True, but maybe I too can do better..."

[Before Dan and Phil can continue their bickering, another familiar theme starts up. "Control" begins to play. The crowd immediately lets out a round of heated booing. Andrew McMartyn, quarter owner of the CWF struts out onto the stage to stand near to Dan. Andrew is dressed in an expensive suit, carrying a mic. The three other stars all watch him intently. The usual "Asshole!" chant is about to start, but Andrew cuts in before it can.]

ANDREW: "What is going on here?! Why are you out here, in the middle of my arena, squabbling like children?! We're all grown men here! We know that if you have a problem with someone, the only way to settle it is like civilised people! In the ring!"

[After letting Andrew rant for a few moments, "The Huckster" seems to have had enough.]

HUCKSTER: "Hey, dude! "The Huckster's" had enough of you, coming out here, running your mouth! Worst of all, making fun of all these little "Huckamaniacs"!"

[Cheering greets this, of course.]

GAV: "This IS exciting, isn't it?!"

TAFF: "This is a very volatile situation!"

[Andrew is a bit confused by this.]

ANDREW: "What?! What are you talking about?! I haven't said anything about your "Huckamaniacs"!"

HUCKSTER: "Enough! "The Huckster" isn't going to stand for any more of your crap!"

ANDREW: "But I..."

PHIL: "Hey, you heard him! "The Man" and "The Huckster" are done talking! It's time for some action!"

[Andrew is about to speak again, but Dan cuts him off.]

DAN: "Well said, Phil! I couldn't agree more!"

[Dan starts strolling towards the ring. Phil and "The Huckster" adopt fighting stances. The fans start getting worked up at the prospect of a fight.]

GAV: "Gosh! It looks like Dan wants to fight Phil AND "The Huckster" by himself!"

TAFF: "It seems like everyone wants a fight!"

[Meanwhile, Andrew is annoyed by everyone ignoring him.]

ANDREW: "STOP IT!"

[Everything goes quiet. Dan stops and looks at Andrew. Both Phil and "Huckster" are looking at him now.]

ANDREW: "Listen! I will decide what happens in that ring! It's not up to any of you! It looks like you'll all start fighting anyway. If not in the ring, I expect you'll do it backstage! So I'm going to settle this! Tonight's main event match will be a tag match! All of us will compete!"

[The fans seem to like this idea, judging by the response. Dan, Phil and "The Huckster" offer no objections.]

ANDREW: "Fine! It's settled then! Dan and I will face "The Huckster" and "The Man" on the very first Redemption! There is one condition!"

[They all listen, intently.]

ANDREW: "Dan, you will have no contact with "The Huckster" OR Phil until the match itself. Understood?!"

[Dan nods unhappily. Andrew, happy at having settled the matter, strolls back under the "McMartyn-tron" to the accompaniment of "Control". Dan also stalks back up the ramp and leaves the arena. Phil and "The Huckster" exchange an understanding look, then leave the ring together.]

TAFF: "I can't wait! This should be one awesome main event!"

GAV: "Fantastic news! What a fantastically smashing show this will be!"

RAZOR vs. STEVO
Referee: Sid Jefferies

JONES: Well, this match should be interesting!

TUCK: This next match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Birmingham, England, he weighs in at 265lbs … STEVO!

[The lights dim as the word "EXTREME?" flashes on the screen. 'Spit it Out' plays at full volume as Stevo steps out onto the stage. He is carrying his customary Kendo Stick with him and a bottle of water. Halfway down the ramp he throws his bottle into the crowd and spits water everywhere. He gets to the ring and walks around to the announcer's side. He climbs onto the apron and somersaults the top rope. He climbs a turnbuckle and raises his arms. Then he puts his kendo stick under the turnbuckle and awaits his opponent.]

TUCK: And his opponent, from Miami, Florida. He weighs in at 270lbs... RAZOR!

[The arena goes black, and lines of holographic razors show up on the entrance ramp as Razor walks down the ramp. 'Bad Guy' plays in unison with the light show. Razor gets into the ring and poses for the crowd. Referee Sid Jeffries]

[DING! DING! DING!]

[Razor and Stevo look at each other. Razor runs at Stevo but Stevo gives him a hiptoss. Razor gets up but Stevo gives him as few shots to the face and whips him into the corner. Stevo lifts Razor onto the top rope and sets up a superplex. Before he pulls it off Razor pushes Stevo off the turnbuckle and gives him a frog splash! He then hooks the leg]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[..No! Stevo kicks out!]

[Razor kicks the bottom rope in frustration and motions his hands for Stevo to get up. Razor waits for Stevo to get up and tries to give him the Pedigree but Stevo turns it into a back body drop! Stevo then clotheslines Razor down as he gets up and locks Razor in the Scorpion Deathlock. Razor pulls himself to the ropes and gets to them eventually but the damage is done. Razor rolls out the ring to prevent any further damage but Stevo follows him. Stevo follows Razor to the announce table where Razor is resting against. Stevo goes to punch him but Razor gives Stevo an elbow to the gut and grabs Stevo by the head, leading him over to the steel steps, and slamming his head into them! Razor then retreats away from the steel steps but charges towards them looking to attack Stevo but Stevo rolls out the way sending Razor running into the steel steps and flipping over them after crashing into them!]

Hudson: Ha! I hope that hurt the stupid punk!

[Stevo gives Razor a few stomps to the chest and lifts him up, tossing him into the crowd barricades! Stevo then slides in the ring and starts to pose while Razor recovers. As Razor gets up Stevo goes for a baseball slide but Razor dodges out the way and attempts a spinning heel kick but Stevo keeps the advantage, ducking it and delivering a snap suplex to Razor. Stevo rolls Razor in the ring and climbs the top rope. He then flies off the turnbuckle with a cross body block on Razor! Stevo rolls away from Razor but raises to his feet well before Razor and as Razor gets up pulls him between his legs and goes for a powerbomb but Razor fights back with some shots to the head and a reversal into a tornado DDT! Stevo's head bounces off the mat and Razor pulls back a leg]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[..Stevo kicks out!]

[Razor jumps to his feet and pulls Stevo up, lifting him in a suplex but actually a brainbuster as he sharply brings Stevo down on his head. Razor climbs the top rope and poses for the crowd before giving Stevo a big moonsault! Razor leaps back up, full of energy, and waits for Stevo. Razor seems comfortable, pulling off move after move, and getting up waiting for the next. Stevo is at his feet and goes for a clothesline but Razor ducks and on return gives Stevo a clothesline! He then goes to the top rope and delivers a huge dragonrana on Stevo!]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[..No! Somehow Stevo keeps kicking out]

[Razor can't believe that Stevo continues to keep the match going. He is running out of ideas and puts in a sleeper. He keeps this in as long as possible but Stevo does start to fight back. Stevo pulls himself to his feet and gives Razor some elbows to the gut. He then whips Razor off the ropes and gives him a tilt a whirl slam on Razor's way back! Razor's back bounces off the mat rapidly and it causes great pain. Stevo then locks Razor's head between his legs looking for his finisher, but Fury propels Messiah up in a flapjack, causing Messiah's neck to bounce against the top rope. Messiah falls to the mat and Fury climbs the top rope, seeing his chance. He is about to elevate off the turnbuckle but Messiah kicks the bottom rope and Fury falls crotch first onto the turnbuckle! Messiah then slowly mounts to his feet and climbs the turnbuckle also. Messiah then gives Fury a DDT off the top rope! Fury's face just ricochets against the mat and Messiah pulls his body over getting a pin]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[..Razor just kicks out!]

JONES: It's only a matter of time before Stevo finishes off this loser!

[Stevo backs away into the corner, and as Razor gets up Stevo charges at him but runs face first into the turnbuckle and bounces back falling to the mat, Razor suddenly runs off the ropes and plants an elbow drop on Stevo! He can't take advantage though and he lies on the mat trying to recover. Razor is the first one up and climbs the top rope, he then looks up to the roof of the arena and gives Stevo a devasting knee drop. He then hooks back a leg]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[..How did Stevo kick out?]

[Razor is gob smacked, he is shocked. He gets to his feet and kicks the bottom rope. He then decides to attempt a figure four and locks it in causing great pain on Stevo, he keeps this in for a while and looks confident for the victory when out of nowhere Stevo turns it over and applies the pressure on Razor! Razor suddenly taps out and Stevo stands up lifting his arms up in the air]

[Ding, Ding, Ding!!!]

TUCK: Winner of the match...STEVO!

[Razor seems angry at his defeat and kicks Stevo in the gut, then delivering his patented Razor's Edge on Stevo as the crowd boo and hiss. He then slides out the ring and searches under the ring, pulling out a table and setting it up on the outside. He then gets back in the ring and props Stevo up on the turnbuckle facing outwards towards the table. Razor then climbs the top rope himself and then bulldogs Stevo through the table on the outside. Razor gets up and poses to the angry crowd]

JONES: Well Stevo made a great impression winning the first match of Redemption.

TAFF: And so did Razor in destroying Stevo afterwards!

[Emma is backstage with Kid Punk. Kid has a demonic smile on his face. Tuesday, Kid tried to kill Blue Flash with a chair after he lost the opening match.]

EMMA: "Kid Punk, why in the world did you snap like that on Tuesday Night Turbulence?

KID: "Well Emma it's pretty simple actually. The Blue Flash is a freakish little superhero and I lost a match to him. Add on top of that to a bunch of stupid fans that don't know great wrestlers, you get one mad Punk. And when I was breaking that chair on the Flash's ass I could feel my anger and aggression pouring out of my veins as one hard blow after another struck the Blue Flash. And I have no regrets on trying to end that little freak's career."

EMMA: "So tonight it will be Kid Punk/Blue Flash part two. Do you think that you could pull off this one?"

KID: "There are no doubts in my mind that I could pull this one off. And I'll do you one better, I GUARANTEE that I will win this one. How many times can a dyslexic guy running around in a cape be victorious? I'm going to say, not very many. In fact, I hope that tonight I hurt that retard so bad that he won't be able to get up and walk in the morning. Now excuse me Emma, I have to go kick some ass."

[With that, Kid Punk walks away.]

DAMIAN ALI vs. SEAN O'KANE
Referee: Phil James

[The lights go red as a feminine scream is heard over the PA. The chorus of boos almost drowns out 'Seek and Destroy' by Metallica as it is blaring over the PA. Out comes Damian and Felicia and they survey the audience. Damian raises his arms in the air... only to flip off the crowd. The boos grow more intense and obscene chants start. Damian and Felicia just laugh as they make their way to the ring, teasing the fans as they go…]

TAFF: I will pay you £5 if this lasts more than 2 minutes!

['The Way You Like It' by Adam" plays and Sean O'Kane charges down the ramp, followed by Page. He dives into the ring and begins pounding at Damian Ali. He whips Ali into the corner and charges at him, but Ali stretches out a leg and it connects with O'Kane's face! O'Kane flies back and lands on his back. Ali walks forward and as O'Kane gets up, grabs his head and head butts O'Kane! He then drags O'Kane's leg over to the bottom rope and rests it on it, and then begins pressing down on O'Kane's ankle with his foot! O'Kane begins screaming with pain and after a four count by the referee, Ali lets go. Ali lifts O'Kane up and puts him in a gorilla press position and drops him face first into the mat. Ali then lifts O'Kane's face up only to ram it back into the mat. Ali then poses to the crowd, and Felicia is jumping up and down, cheering for her man, as O'Kane pulls himself off the mat. Ali goes for a big punch, but O'Kane blocks it and gives him one of his own. Ali tries again, but to the same result. He then goes for the big boot, but O'Kane ducks this and runs off the ropes and Ali tries it again, but O'Kane ducks this one and turns around, rolling Ali up in a schoolboy]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[..Ali just rolls out of it!]

JONES: That was a close one, huh Taff?!

TAFF: Page doesn't look too pleased about that!

JONES: Neither does Felicia! Look, she's giving Page the death stare!

[Ali rolls out the ring to catch his breath but O'Kane leaves him no time and gives Ali a baseball slide sending Ali tumbling into the announce table.]

JONES: Woah!

[O'Kane then gives Ali a few shots to the face and pulls him up, and leaves Ali hanging to the table to stay up. O'Kane then walks to the steel steps and runs at Ali, only for Ali to give O'Kane a tremendous flapjack over the announce table and into the crowd!]

TAFF: Oh my God! Where did that come from?!

JONES: O'Kane was dominating this match, but it looks like the tables have turned, literally!

[O'Kane crashes into a heap of fans and falls to the floor. Ali then waits a few seconds recovering before climbing over the crowd barrier and goes searching for O'Kane. He grabs O'Kane, lifts him up and throws him forward into the barricade. O'Kane crashes into the barrier and falls in a heap. Ali lifts him up again and chucks him over the barrier to the announce table area. As Sean O'Kane gets up, Ali climbs the crowd barricade and balances at the top. He then jumps off, attempting a double axe handle smash but O'Kane kicks him in the midsection as he jumps and delivers a belly-to belly suplex!]

JONES: This is O'Kane's big chance, what a move!

[O'Kane throws the stunned Ali in the ring and crawls in himself, slinging an arm over him…]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[..No! Ali slings an arm up!]

[O'Kane rolls on his back astonished that he only got a 2 count. He gets to his feet and looks up at the top rope. He hurtles to the top rope and climbs to the top seeming like he is going to try a flying elbow drop, but he doesn't see Felicia behind him. She pulls his leg off the rope, causing him to fall, crushing himself on the ropes.]

TAFF: Oooh! That's gotta hurt!

[O'Kane falls forward and lands hard on the canvas. Ali hooks the leg and goes for the pin…]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[...O'Kane gets the shoulder up!]

TAFF: I don't believe this! He almost had him!

JONES: What a close call!

[Ali is fuming! He grabs the referee by the collar and pulls back his arm looking to hit the ref when O'Kane suddenly gets up and attempts to clothesline Ali, but Ali ducks and O'Kane takes out the referee! O'Kane then receives his own clothesline as Ali bounces off the ropes and impacts O'Kane hard, sending him crashing to the canvas. Ali grabs Sean O'Kane and gives him a big punch, flooring O'Kane again. Ali sets him up…]

TAFF: HE'S FOR CONTRACT HIT!

JONES: I don't think I can take much more of this!

[O'Kane is screaming in pain as Damian Ali puts the pressure on. Referee Phil James is on his knees beside O'Kane.]

JONES: O'Kane can't take much more of this!

[O'Kane is still screaming and Ali is smiling sadistically. Suddenly Page jumps onto the turnbuckle and attempts to distract the referee as O'Kane begins tapping out. An angered Ali signals Felicia, who instantly runs round the perimeter of the ring and pulls Page of the turnbuckle. Page hits her head on the edge of the ring and lies out cold on the floor.]

JONES: Page is out cold! Someone call the EMT's!

TAFF: Remind me never to tick Felicia off!

JONES: Look! Ali's still got that pressure on O'Kane. He's gonna break something if he doesn't let go soon!

[Ali shouts the referee over. He applies more pressure. O'Kane is nearly passed out because of the pain. Referee Phil James grabs O'Kane's arm and lets it drop…]

[..1..]

[..2..]

[..3!]

[Ding, Ding, Ding!!!]

TAFF: It's over! It's over! I can't believe it! Ali wins by KO!

TUCK: Winner of the match, Damian Ali!

[Damian Ali raises his arms as Felicia joins him in the ring. They embrace as EMT's come to the aid of the unconscious Sean O'Kane.]

JONES: I believe you owe me a fiver, Taff. That match lasted longer than two minutes!

TAFF: Damn!

NIGHTMARE VS ACID
Referee: Phil James

["Super-Beast" hits, signalling the entrance of Nightmare. Being a relative newcomer, there isn't too much fan response. Nonetheless, Nightmare dutifully makes his entrance.]

TAFF: A rather unusual match up, in that Acid, the female VP of the CWF, is taking on Nightmare in a one-on-one hardcore match!

GAV: Fantastic! Anything can happen!

["Left Behind" starts up, and the fans, being more familiar with Acid, begin cheering. Acid charges down the ramp and slides into the ring, obviously eager to start the match. Acid has come to the ring with a trash bin lid in her hand, and she charges right at Nightmare. Taken aback, he swings a punch at the crazy VP, but she ducks. She bounces off the ropes and belts Nightmare in the face with her bin lid. Nightmare is knocked to the mat. Acid goes right for a cover. A one count. Nightmare is unhurt, but very shocked.]

TAFF: Wow! Acid is really taking it to Nightmare!

[Nightmare rises to his feet, looking angry. Acid dares him to try something. Nightmare lunges forward, trying to grab Acid, but she eludes him. Acid dodges behind Nightmare and jumps on his back, applying a Sleeper Hold. Nightmare staggers about the ring, trying to shake Acid. He lines himself up, and backs into the turnbuckle. Acid slips off his back and slumps in the corner. Nightmare staggers forward, clearing his head.]

TAFF: This is a strangely even match, so far...

GAV: That's smashing news...

[Nightmare rolls under the ropes and checks under the ring. He emerges with a trash can and a chair. He slides them into the ring and goes back under the ring. He comes up again with a kendo stick. Nightmare slides into the ring, ready to continue. However, Acid has recovered and attacks him. She lands a Dropkick, causing Nightmare to reel, though he keeps his grip on the kendo stick.]

TAFF: Acid is really in her element here...

[As Acid prepares to attack once more, Nightmare nails her with the kendo stick. Acid falls to the mat, clutching her head. Nightmare strikes her across the back with the stick, then rolls her over for a cover. A two count! Nightmare pulls Acid to her feet and whips her into the corner. He picks up the chair and repositions it.]

TAFF: Nightmare is planning something painful with that chair, I bet...

GAV: Of course! This is a very exciting match!

[Nightmare then moves in on Acid. He prepares to hit a Northern Lights Suplex, but Acid blocks it. She strikes him in the ribs, then, pushing off the ropes, she hits a Tornado DDT right onto the chair! Acid goes for another cover. A two count. Nightmare seems to really be hurting by now. He obviously never expected such a difficult fight.]

TAFF: Things are looking very good for Acid, right now...

[Acid pulls Nightmare to his feet. She looks to hit a DDT, aiming for the chair, but Nightmare counters. He grabs Acid by the neck and hits a Chokeslam. Acid lands atop the trash can, crumpling the thin metal. Nightmare is looking extremely ticked off. He tries a cover on Acid, but her hand is too close to the kendo stick. She beats Nightmare over the head, causing him to stumble to the ropes. Acid moves in to follow up, but Night acts first. He kicks her in the gut, doubling her over. Then pulls her head between his legs, looking for his "PitaBomb".]

TAFF: It looks like Nightmare is going to finish it! There's no way Acid will survive this!

GAV: Amazing!

[Before he can hit the move, Acid catches him with a low blow. Nightmare sinks to his knees. Acid picks up the chair and swings with all her might, catching Nightmare on the chin, and knocking him flat. Acid drops down and pins Nightmare. Referee Morgan drops down to count. One, two, three! Acid wins it!]

TAFF: Amazing, Acid has beaten Nightmare!

GAV: Fantastic!

TAFF: I bet Nightmare is still seeing stars after that chair shot!

GAV: Smashing!

["Left Behind" hits. Rather than leave the ring, Acid helps Nightmare to his feet, checking he is alright. Nightmare nods and brushes her off. He raises Acid's arm in victory, instantly becoming a fan favourite. Nightmare leaves the ring and exits the arena, giving Acid a chance to celebrate her first win in the CWF.]

[The packed crowd in the UWCN Sports Hall is eagerly awaiting the next match when suddenly "No Chance" begins to play. The fans boo wildly as CWF President Mr McMartyn swaggers out into the arena, his trusty henchmen Mr Ingham and Mr Quarterman following along behind. Following this trio comes striding company co-owner Andrew McMartyn, dressed already in his combat ensemble, the beautiful valet Natasha hanging on his arm. The group makes their way down to ringside and all climb into the squared circle. Mr McMartyn takes a microphone from Ralph Tuck as "No Chance" slowly dies down. He lifts up the microphone to speak.]

MCMARTYN: "Before I was so rudely interrupted by my so-called new business partner last Tuesday night on Turbulence, I was addressing the CWF’s viewing public over the significant matter of the World Championship. Now, my aim on Tuesday night was to crown a new federation champion right there, right then. I thought it ideal to kick off the new era of the Caerleon Wrestling Federation with the crowning of a face of the company, an inspirational figure, a leader. That was my intention, but it was not to be, soon being shot down by first Jud McMartyn, and then that loathsome upstart Acid. And now, to a certain extent I retract on my views of Tuesday night. I believe that yes, we should decide our new federation champion through the medium of contribution. And why this sudden change in heart? Because I know the perfect individual to do it. Oh yes, that’s correct. I, Clive McMartyn, will tonight bestow my ponsership on a selected individual, one CWF superstar who I feel is worthy to wear that strap around his waist. So who is it? Well, let me see, could it be ARRANBOY?"

[There is a sizeable pop for Arranboy, CWF legend and recently retired grappler who now holds the post of CWF Head Of Staff. Mr McMartyn furrows his brow and slowly shakes his head.]

MCMARTYN: "No, no. It couldn’t be Arranboy, he’s retired now you know! No more action in the squared circle for that monster… no, it’s not Arranboy. So if not him, how about STONE COLD ANDY MORGAN?"

[The roof nearly comes off the UWCN Sports Hall at the mention of the most popular and prolific competitor in CWF history. McMartyn gauges the reaction, then throws back his head and laughs.]

MCMARTYN: "HAHAHAHA! No, with great pleasure I can guranntee to you that Stone Cold Andy Morgan in most definitely a bona fide EX-CWF employee. No more drinking beer and giving their bosses Stunners for that individual. HAHAHA. So then, how about ‘THE HUCKSTER’ BOB JONES?"

[Again, another big pop rattles the arena.]

MCMARTYN: "No, no, no. Far too old… the man moves like a dinosaur for goodness sake! Well, it won’t be ‘The Huckster’… and it definitely won’t be someone like PHIL ‘THE MAN’ LEACH!"

[The arena explodes at the mention of the fan’s top superstar. Andrew McMartyn looks around resentfully at the ovation Phil Leach receives. The CWF President looks disdainful as he gives his response.]

MCMARTYN: "Oh no. No no no no no. It DEFINITELY won’t be that gentleman. No, my pick as the next CWF World Champion, the superstar I am officially sponsering… my son, ANDREW MCMARTYN!"

[A huge boo reverberates around the building as Clive McMartyn smiles broadly. Ingham and Quarterman both applause foolishly as Andrew McMartyn steps forward and bows his head to his father before taking the microphone. Mr McMartyn throws a fatherly arm around his offspring’s shoulder as Andrew begins to speak.]

ANDREW: "Thanks pops… you know, I’ve been in this company, wrestling my ass off in this very ring since Day One. I’ve seen a lot of people come, and a lot of people go. And standing here tonight, with all the experience I’ve gained over these years, I can safely say one thing. Nobody has ever had a patch on me!"

[This typically narcissistic comment provokes a large jeer from the audience.]

ANDREW: "So it’s for that reason I believe I’m the ONLY logical choice for CWF Champion. Athleticism, skill, commercial appeal, intelligence, great looks… the reasons why I’d make a good champ just go on and on and on. Hell, I think most of you people forget I’ve done it five times before! I’m a champ at being the champ! I know that shiny golden title belt belongs around my fabulous waist, and having to beat some idiot into submission for it will only making winning that extra bit sweeter! I’m truly honoured to have the ponsership of the CWF President- my Dad- Mr Clive McMartyn. Dad, I ain’t gonna let you down! Every one of you peasants better realise you’re looking at the next- and greatest- CWF Champion, because I am "Simply The Best" Wooo!"

[Mr McMartyn takes the microphone from his excitable offspring and re-addresses the crowd.]

MCMARTYN: "That, may I add, is the way it is going to be, and if you don’t like it, then hard luck- because you can take a McMartyn gurrantee to the bank. Thank You!"

["No Chance" begins to play once again as Mr McMartyn hands the microphone back to Mr Tuck and steps out of the ring, Ingham and Quarterman fussing around him, holding the ropes open and offering to help him down the steps. Andrew McMartyn climbs one of the turnbuckles to arrogantly taunt at the crowd before hopping out to the arena floor to join Natasha and the others. The party make their way up the steel ramp and towards the back, the capacity crowd on hand to boo them every step of the way.]

FAITH vs STEPHANIE
Referee: Gary Willis

[Back in the arena, "Our Time" is playing as Stephanie parades around the ring. The crowd boos her loudly as she readies herself for the upcoming match.]

TUCK: "The following match is scheduled for one fall, in the ring, STEPHANIE!"

["We Will Rock You" begins to play and Faith receives a modest pop as she walks out onto the entrance ramp. The CWF diva makes her way down to the ring and steps in through the ropes. The bell rings as referee Gary Willis signals for the match to officially begin.]

TAFF: "Aahhh… two women, rolling around on top of each other…. Aahhhh"

JONES: "I know, fantastic!"

[Faith starts off quickly, spearing Stephanie down to the mat. She mounts her and begins wailing away with slaps, right and lefts. Stephanie muscles back, knocking Faith to her side and rolling on top of her instead. Now Stephanie smashes away at the helpless Faith as the crowd pops big for this catfighting. This tussling back and forth continues until Faith succeeds in flipping Stephanie over her head and across the ring. Faith charges and floors Stephanie with a Clothesline, then picks her up and Snapmares her down. A Scoop Slam by Faith, who covers for the three count. 1 … 2 … Kickout. Faith picks up Stephanie and whips her to the corner, then charges across the ring. Stephanie gets a foot up however, spinning Faith around with the impact. She knocks Faith down to the mat, then delivers a succession of vicious looking hair tosses around the ring. Faith grabs her head and squeals in pain as Stephanie looks on merrily, seemingly getting pleasure from the pain she is causing her opponent.]

JONES: "Well, Faith certainly looked to have the advantage earlier in this match, but I have to say, Stephanie has made a smashing comeback! Brilliant!"

[With Faith lying vunerably on the canvas, Stephanie steps on her hair and grabs hold of her arms, pulling upwards with all her strength. Faith screams out as Stephanie literally tears the hair from her head! Whilst Faith cradles her burning scalp, Stephanie drops down for the cover- 1 … 2 … Kickout! Stephanie whips Faith to the ropes now, and hits a Monkey Toss to send her crashing down to the mat. With Faith clearly in trouble, Stephanie aggressively drags her to her feet and measures her for a huge slap! No! Faith blocks Stephanie’s attack at the last moment, and counters with a Jawbreaker! Stephanie crumples to the canvas, and Faith signals for the end! She runs to the corner and leaps up onto the ropes.]

JONES: "Faith going for the Faithsault here…"

TAFF: "Wait a minute… who’s this?"

[The camera pans round to the entrance aisle, where we see Razor running to the ring! The referee has his back turned and is checking on Stephanie. Razor leaps up onto the ring apron and shoves Faith right off the turnbuckle! Faith hurtles through the air and crashes down to the mat hard. As Razor hops off the apron and crouches down on the outside, Stephanie slowly reaches across Faith and covers her- 1 … 2 … 3! Razor quickly rolls out of the ring and hurries up the entrance ramp as "Our Time" begins to play. A dazed Faith looks around in confusion as she tries to work out what hit her. Ralph Tuck makes the announcement.]

TUCK: "The winner of the match… STEPHANIE!"

JONES: "I can’t believe it! Faith got royally screwed there!"

TAFF: "Heh heh…"

[Suddenly 'Left Behind' by Slipknot plays over the arena's PA System. Stephanie looks shocked as the CWF VP strides out and begins to walk down the ramp to the ring. Acid doesn't look very happy at all. She rolls into the ring, microphone in hand and stands up to face Stephanie.]

JONES: It's Acid! Looks like she's got a couple of things to say to Stephanie.

TAFF: Typical! The Goth Girl shows up to ruin the lovely Stephanie's victory!

[Stephanie looks very uncomfortable as Acid approaches her. Acid stares her hard in the eyes, then her face breaks into a sarcastic smile. She begins to clap unethusiastically.]

...CLAP...CLAP...CLAP...

Acid then lifts the microphone to her lips...]

ACID: Well done! Congratulations on you first win. You really are an amazing performer... NOT!

[The crowd go wild.]

ACID: Now, Stephanie, sweetie, am I to understand that you've gone and gathered together a little clique?

[Acid waits for an answer. Stephanie says nothing.]

ACID: Razor, Mr Extreme and some mystery guy, yes?

[Stephanie nods, trying not to be intimidated by Acid.]

ACID: Now, am I right in guessing that YOU and your little friends are planning to take over the CWF?

[Stephanie smiles and nods her head, confirming Acid's accusations.]

ACID: Really? Wow! And what makes you think that you have the power, the know-how, the right stuff to take over this fed?

[Stephanie grabs Acid's mic.]

STEPHANIE: I don't think, I act!

[Acid pulls the mic back.]

ACID: Confident, aren't you? Tell me something, LITTLE GIRL, do have any idea who you're talking to here? You are talking to the CWF VP- your boss, the chick who writes your pay check every month. And sweetheart, I can just as easily write you a pink slip!

TAFF: Oh no!

JONES: Is Acid going fire Stephanie?

ACID: [shouting] You come into my territory, you disrespect me and then claimk that you can overpower me! Do you REALLY think you can play with Acid and not get burnt? And do you REALLY think that I will stand by and let go of the CWF without a fight?

[Stephanie shrugs.]

ACID: Well, sweetie, let's test your nerve. Let's see how good you really are. At Turbulence, right here in this very ring, you and me one-on-one in a match!

[The crowd start going nuts.]

TAFF: Oh my God, Mosher! Acid, Stephanie in a match at Turbulence.

JONES: The VP has spoken...

[Stephanie is shocked.]

ACID: That is of course, you're not scared?

STEPHANIE: I've got nothing to be scared of, not when I have my guys with me! You're on, Acid!

ACID: Oh yeah! Your guys! Well, here's a little stipulation that I want to impose on the match. If your guys- any one of them- interferes in our match, I WILL FIRE ALL FOUR OF YOU ON THE SPOT! Do I make myself clear?

STEPHANIE: Fair enough!

ACID: And because of this stipulation, I think I'll call this match a Pink Slip Match!

[The crowd is still yelling and cheering for Acid.]

ACID: I think I've said all that there needs to be said, so if you don't mind I have more pressing business to attend to.

[Acid's music plays as she goes to the leave the ring, but as she's climbing over the ropes, she stops and turns to Stephanie. The music stops as Acid says...]

ACID: Oh by the way Stephanie- GET BENT!

[Acid leaves the ring and walks up the ramp as her music plays over the PA system, leaving Stephanie in the ring alone.]

JONES: Well, you heard here first ladies and gentleman. Acid, the CWF VP, will face Stephanie in a Pink Slip match at Turbulence.

TAFF: I can't wait!

THE BLUE FLASH VS KID PUNK
Referee: Sid Jefferies

TAFF: I'm sure you remember the first match between these two, where Kid Punk viciously attacked Flash with a chair...

GAV: It was a really fantastic match, but not very smashing of Kid Punk...

TAFF: Well it was "smashing" in some ways...

["Dysentry Gary" hits, causing a heavy, negative fan reaction. Kid Punk jogs down to the ring, and slides under the ropes. He shakes his shoulders and loosens himself up, ready for the match. The music changes, and so does the crowd response. "Flash" begins and The Blue Flash tears his way down the ramp, his cape flapping behind him. Spark Girl is absent today, possibly busy "rescuing" people. The Blue Flash bounds onto the apron, then jumps up onto a ringpost. He hits his most "heroic" pose, appealing to the fans. It seems to work.]

TAFF: Blue Flash is definitely more popular with the fans...

[Referee Jeffries calls both men to the centre of the ring. When they are ready, he signals for the bell.]

GAV: They've started! Smashing!

[Blue Flash takes the lead by attacking Kid Punk with a flurry of punches. Punk is not expecting this aggressive assault, and is driven back to the ropes. Flash whips him then plants Punk with a Drop Toe Hold. He leaps back up and hits another "heroic" pose. Flash decides to try a risky move and clambers up the nearest ringpost.]

TAFF: An unwise move by the Blue Flash, here...

[Flash leaps into the, looking to score with a Flying Elbow. Kid Punk, it seems, was faking, and rolls aside, letting Flash connect with the canvas. Flash rolls on the floor, clutching at his arm. Kid Punk takes control, locking on an Arm Wringer, then hitting an elbow to the head. He traps the downed "superhero" in an Arm Lock.]

TAFF: Kid Punk is firmly in control at this point.

GAV: It's a really fantastic display by both wrestlers so far...

[Flash is not ready to give in yet. Punk breaks the hold and pulls Blue Flash to his feet. He whips Flash, but is caught off guard when Flash plants him with a Hurracanrana.]

TAFF: It seems The Blue Flash may be regaining control...

GAV: That's a smashing thought...

[Flash goes for a pin, but only finds a two count. Flash pulls Punk back up and tries a whip of his own. Kid Punk, however, turns it round into a Shortarm Clothesline. He drags Flash up again, then immediately nails him with a Snap Suplex.]

TAFF: Neither man seems to stay in control for long, here...

[Kid Punk tries a quick cover. Another two count. He is annoyed by the resiliency of his foe, and starts angrily stomping at the "superhero". Flash eventually makes it to his feet. Punk doesn't let up. He tries to whip The Blue Flash into the corner, but finds it reversed. Flash sends Punk charging into the turnbuckles, and runs in himself. He sends Kid Punk to the mat with a Hurranacanrana Pin.]

TAFF: Blue Flash is back on top now, but that could change very quickly.

[Meanwhile, Flash has only gained a close two count. He pulls Kid Punk to his feet yet again and attempts another whip. Kid Punk reverses, sending Flash bouncing off the ropes. Punk misses with his intended clothesline, and is handed a DDT upon the Blue Flash's rebound.]

TAFF: I really felt that impact! Kid Punk took a heavy fall there!

GAV: What a smashingly brilliant counter that was!

[Kid Punk doesn't look to be getting up anytime soon, so Blue Flash decides to close the match. He runs to the corner and straps on his cape. He then goes to the farthest corner and starts climbing. Meanwhile, a loud fan reaction indicates another person has entered.]

TAFF: Who's that?! Someone else has just arrived!

GAV: Fantastic! Who is it?

[It is Deftonial, Kid Punk's old tag partner. He comes running down to the ring. Sid Jefferies is still watching the match, and has not noticed. Kid Punk notices Deftonial, and starts yelling to catch the ref's attention. As the ref heads in his direction, Deftonial leaps onto the apron and shoves The Blue Flash down to the mat.]

TAFF: No! Deftonial just attacked The Blue Flash!

[Deftonial quickly ducks out of sight beside the ring, as the referee spins round at the noise of Blue Flash hitting the floor. Kid Punk manages to gather the strength to get to his feet. He staggers over to the prone "superhero" and pulls him up for one last time.]

TAFF: Wow! Blue Flash was almost killed by that "Punk Kick"!

GAV: What a smashing match up!

[Kid Punk covers Flash. He gets the three count. "Dysentry Gary" hits once more, indicating the end of the match. Kid Punk rolls under the ropes, and Deftonial comes out of hiding to join him. He holds Kid Punk's arm up in victory, and the two of them meander back up the ramp, leaving the beaten Blue Flash laying in the ring.]

[Mr McMartyn is sat in his lavish office when there is an urgent knock at the door. The CWF President looks irritated to be interrupted, but answers anyway.]

MCMARTYN: "COME IN!"

[The heavy oak door creaks open and Kyle Reece enters the room. A small pop from the crowd in the arena accompanies his arrival.]

MCMARTYN: "Why hello there Mr Reece. How are you tonight?"

REECE: "A little sore… my meeting with that Swedish meatball on Tuesday was a pretty brutal one…"

MCMARTYN: "Indeed it was… young Hans has all the makings of a great CWF superstar… oh, as do you, of course."

[Kyle Reece does not seem flattered. He leans back across Mr McMartyn’s large desk.]

REECE: "Yeah well, I came here with a certain question in mind. All this week you and the other owners have been kicking up a fuss over the CWF Championship- but what I want to know is what are you planning to do about all the other titles?"

[Mr McMartyn smiles knowingly.]

MCMARTYN: "Ah yes. Well Mr Reece, you’re not alone in wondering that, this is for sure. As a matter of fact, you question was well-timed. I have just finalised plans for an tournament to be held, beginning this coming Tuesday on CWF Turbulence, a tournament that will end at next month’s Pay-Per-View with the crowning of the NEW CWF Intercontinental Championship!"

[Reece raises an eyebrow in interest. He turns to face his employer.]

REECE: "I’m listening… elaborate."

MCMARTYN: "…And the reason I’m telling you, Mr Reece, is because you will be competing in the first qualifying match-up this coming Turbulence, and your opponent will be Kid Punk!"

REECE: "Excellent… Mr McMartyn, I’ll see you at the Pay-Per-View!"

[Kyle Reece stands up and exits the room. Clive McMartyn leans back in his red padded leather chair and smiles.]

[Backstage we see two figures making their way along a corridor. As we get closer the duo become recognisable- it’s Phil Leach and ‘The Huckster’ Bob Jones, on their way to the ring! The main event of Redemption can only be next!]

PHIL LEACH & 'THE HUCKSTER' BOB JONES vs ANDREW MCMARTYN & DAN JONES
Referee: Adrian Davies

[The UWCN Sports Hall explodes in cheering as "Real American" hits the PA system in the arena. We're ready for the main event!

A massive pop welcomes 'The Huckster' as he comes out from the back. The veteran poses and flexes at the top of the entrance ramp before slowly making his way down to the ring and up the steel steps. He climbs into the ring and poses some more for the fans, who cheer wildly with nostalgia for the seasoned superstar. Bob Jones rips off his yellow "Huckstermaina" T-shirt as his music dies down.

A even bigger cheer goes up as Bob Jovi's "It's My Life" explodes out of the speakers. Phil 'The Man' Leach jives out onto the entrance ramp and makes his way down to the ring!]

TAFF: "Listen to these people, Gav! I don't get why this guy is so popular!"

Phil climbs in through the ropes and gyrates in the centre of the ring causing the female members of the crowd to go into hysteria. The cheers quickly turn to boos as "Pushing Me Away" by Linkin Park invades the speakers. The arena lights dip down as a sombre Dan Jones makes his way smartly down to ringside, coolly ignoring the jeering fans all around him. He elects not to enter the ring just as "Control" blasts over the PA. A boo far surpassing the one that greeted Dan rings out as Andrew McMartyn appears beneath the mammoth "McMartynTron", his glamorous new valet Natasha on his arm.

JONES: "I can't wait for this match! It's going to be brilliant!"

TAFF: "I can't wait for that Natasha bird to get closer!"

[Andrew arrogantly strides to ringside, sneering at the fans lining the barricades. His music dies down as he holds a quick strategy session with his partner. Dan and Andrew nod at one another and dive into the ring as the opening bell rings! The Huckster and Phil Leach quickly move to deal with this fast attack, stomping down Andrew and Dan before they have time to get to their feet. The pair quickly retract themselves from the ring and regroup. Phil Leach leans over the ropes to yell at them to get back in the ring, but Andrew and Dan grab his feet and yank him out to the arena floor! 'The Man' is beaten tot he floor savagely as The Huckster climbs through the ropes and hops off the apron to come to his aid. The veteran rushes to Phil's aid, but Andrew and Dan have already retreated around the ring.]

JONES: "The Huckster was a little too slow there!"

TAFF: "What's new..."

[Both teams climb back up onto the ring apron and the match gains some form of order. Dan Jones and The Huckster step into the ring to start things off. Father and son slowly circle each other, and lock up in the centre of the ring. Dan clamps on a Headlock, but The Huckster powers out and sends his offspring hurtling towards the ropes. He ducks a big Clothesline and bounces from the other side, only to get caught by a Reverse Elbow. The Huckster picks up Dan and punches him to the corner, but Dan Jones counters with a knee to the stomach. Dan knocks his father back with a Martial Arts Kick then floors him with a tackle. Dan Jones hits a Scoop Slam then tags out to his partner. Dan holds The Huckster whilst Andrew delivers a nasty kick tot he midsection. Andrew Irish Whips Huckster, then hits an Overhead Belly-To-Belly Suplex. He goes for the cover- 1 ... 2 ... Kickout.]

JONES: "Smashing Belly-To-Belly there! Close call too!"

[McMartyn Jr whips Bob Jones again, but the CWF legend dodges a High Knee and flattens his opponent with a Clothesline. Tag to Phil Leach, who leaps into the ring to much cheering. The Gentleman Pimp begins to unload on Andrew, sending him reeling with a flurry of chops. Andrew dodges a huge "Swede" from Phil and rakes the eyes, setting 'The Man' up for a Suplex. Phil blocks with his leg, and hits a big Pimp-plex! As Andrew staggers up, Phil floors him with a Pimp Clothesline. Phil Leach picks a battered McMartyn up and executes an Oklahoma Slam! 1 ... 2 ... No! Dan dives in and buries an elbow in Phil's back, breaking up the pinfall.]

TAFF: "Heh! Good one Dan!"

[Phil Leach leaps up and sends Dan flying back with a big "Swede". He drives "Lone Wolf" into the corner and unloads with a series of chops. Phil is pummelling Dan in the corner when Andrew leaps and blasts him from behind, knocking 'The Man' off his tag team partner before landing a Back Drop pin- 1 ... 2 ... Kickout by Phil Leach. Andrew hoists his opponent up and Dan grabs his neck. ¾ Neckbreaker Drop by the team of Andrew McMartyn and Dan Jones. Andrew covers again- 1... 2... Kickout again! Frustrated somewhat, Andrew McMartyn stamps savagely on Phil's face, then makes the tag out to Dan. Dan yanks Phil to his feet and delivers a Swinging Neckbreaker. He follows up with a Backbreaker... 1 ... 2 ... Kickout. He picks Phil Leach up for yet more punishment, but Phil elbows him in the stomach and goes for an Irish Whip. Dan counters and sends Phil to the ropes, slamming him down to the mat with a vicious Spinebuster. Dan Jones crosses over the legs and locks on his trademark Sharpshooter! Phil writhes in pain on the mat as Andrew McMartyn looks on gleefully.]

JONES: "Sharpshooter! If Dan Jones keeps that on much longer, 'The Man' may tap!"

TAFF: "May tap? How about WILL TAP?"

[Phil grits his teeth in agony as Dan rides back as hard as he can. The Gentleman Pimp looks close to tapping when 'The Huckster' climbs in the ring and boots Dan right in the face, breaking the hold. Referee Adrian Davies forces Bob Jones back to his corner as Dan tags out to Andrew McMartyn. The partners pull Phil Leach up and hit a Double Suplex. Andrew nails a Drop Toe Hold on Phil then hoists him up onto the turnbuckle. McMartyn grabs Phil's leg and executes a Super Dragon Screw. He brutally bashes at Phil's leg with a kick, then clamps on a Leg Lock.]

JONES: "Andrew McMartyn is preying on the injury Dan has already caused to that leg… fantastic strategy!"

[Phil cries out as Andrew forces his weight down on his limb. Annoyed that his opponent refuses to give up, Andrew pulls him up and delivers a Scoop Slam, then drops a elbow into his foe's chest. Andrew McMartyn with the cover-1 … 2 … Kickout! Andrew tags Dan back in and the two whip Phil Leach to the ropes- but Phil Leach powers back with a Double Clothesline, knocking both opponents down on their backs. The Gentleman Pimp sends both men tumbling back with hard punches, and Clotheslines Andrew over the top rope and out of the ring. Dan Jones boots Phil in the midsection and goes for another Backbreaker, but 'The Man' counters it into a PIMP DROP! The crowd goes wild as Phil drills Dan into the canvas. He covers the stricken "Lone Wolf"- 1 … 2 … NO! From the outside Andrew McMartyn grabs Adrian Davies' leg and pulls him out of the ring!]

JONES: "That was a certain victory for Phil Leach there!"

TAFF: "Haha! That was great!"

[McMartyn slides in under the bottom rope but eats a huge Haymaker from Phil. Dan stumbles to his feet and goes to nail The People's Pimp from behind, but 'The Huckster' cuts him off with a huge Shoulder Block. Bob Jones scrapes Andrew off the canvas and tosses him back out of the ring. Bob Jones returns to his corner whilst Dan harshly whips Phil Leach to the turnbuckle, sending the Gentleman Pimp hurtling back into the middle of the ring from the impact. The CWF's "Lone Wolf" sprints at Dan, who surprises him with a massive Powerslam! Phil Leach stumbles over to his corner and tags in 'The Huckster'. The CWF legend cannons into the ring to a huge ovation, dropping Dan with a succession of heavy Clotheslines. Andrew McMartyn scrambles back in and swings for The Huckster, who ducks and delivers a Back Suplex. As Dan woozily wobbles up to his feet, Bob Jones signals for the end, but referee Adrian Davies climbs back into the ring and blocks him! Davies screams at The Huckster to get back to his corner; he didn't see the tag!]

TAFF: "Bye bye!!"

[The fans vehemently boo the decision whilst meanwhile, Andrew and Dan lay the boots into Phil. McMartyn steps out to the apron and Dan Jones drops Phil with a Suplex. A Reverse DDT plants Phil Leach into the mat once more. Dan makes the cover 1 … 2 … No! Dan drags Phil up and whips him to the ropes. Flapjack by Dan, driving Phil face first to the canvas. 'The Huckster' looks on concerned as 'The Man' looks increasingly battle weary.]

JONES: "If Phil Leach doesn't make that tag soon, he's done for!"

[Dan Jones tags Andrew back in who immediately goes to work on Phil Leach again, beating him down with vicious kick after vicious kick. A Sambo Suplex by Andrew drives Phil to the mat yet again. The Huckster appeals to the crowd, trying to drum up support for Phil. As Phil is pulled to his feet he unloads a chop into Andrew's stomach, catching the CWF owner by surprise. Dan leaps into the ring and blasts Phil from behind, sending him stumbling forward, right into Andrew McMartyn's FINAL SOLUTION- NO! Phil counters by sweeping Andrew's legs out and slingshotting him over his head, right into his tag team partner! The two men collide and collapse to the mat, giving Phil the opportunity to drag himself across the ring… and make the tag to The Huckster! Bob storms the ring to a massive ovation, flattening Andrew and Dan with huge punches left and right. Bob flings Dan out of the ring and goes to work on Andrew. The Huckster beats the younger McMartyn al round the ring like a house on fire, but the sneaky competitor evens things up with a low blow.]

JONES: "That's wasn't very nice..."

[Outside, Dan Jones yanks Phil Leach from the ring apron and hurls him into the ringside barricade, then leaps up and grabs the referees attention. Andrew McMartyn slivers out of the ring and grabs a steel chair from ringside. He rolls back in and measures 'The Huckster' with the weapon, but out of nowhere Hardcore Hammond runs into the ring and tackles Andrew to the ground! The crowd goes wild as Andrew drops the steel chair and gets taken down hard. Hammond wails away on Andrew like there is no tomorrow. Dan Jones rushes in to help but 'The Huckster' cuts him off and punches him back. A massive boo goes up as CWF President Mr McMartyn marches to the ring, six burly security guards at his heels. The guards jump into the ring and tear Hammond off McMartyn's offspring. The fans cheer Hardcore Hammond's valiant effort as he is muscled backstage by the security team.]

TAFF: "What the hell did Hardcore Hammond think he was playing at?!"

JONES: "I don't believe it- all hell has broken loose here tonight!"

[Amidst the chaos, Andrew McMartyn lashes out at 'The Huckster', who blocks and fires back with punches of his own. He whips his opponent to the turnbuckle and mounts the ropes, looking for his fabled 10 punch. 1 … 2 … 3 … 4 … NO! Andrew shoves Bob Jones off the turnbuckle and down to the floor hard. Mr McMartyn applauds as his son climbs to the top rope- Andrew is looking for a Moonsault- NO! 'The Huckster' gets his knees up and drives them into Andrew's midsection. Both wrestlers crawl towards their corners where their respective team-mates await with arms outstretched. Andrew tags in Dan Jones … and 'The Huckster' tags in Phil Leach! Phil and Dan go at it furiously in the middle of the ring, exchanging flurries of punching frantically. Andrew scrambles towards the discarded steel chair and goes to waffle Phil, but 'The Huckster' comes in and catches Andrew with a Big Boot right to the steel chair! The weapon rebounds into the superstar's face and Andrew collapses like a tonne of bricks! Bob Jones goes for the Legdrop, but Mr McMartyn reaches in and pulls his son to safety, leaving 'The Huckster' to crash down to the mat. As Bob Jones hops through the ropes and makes after the McMartyns, Phil Leach and Dan Jones continue their battle in the ring. Phil ducks a sweeping Martial Arts Kick and scoops up Dan for another PIMP DROP! NO! Dan takes Phil by surprise and slips off his back- DARKNESS FALLS! Dan plants Phil to the mat with his Evenflow DDT- 1 … … 2 … … 3! Dan Jones scores the pinfall on Phil Leach!]

TUCK: "Here are your winners... ANDREW MCMARTYN AND DAN JONES!!"

[The McMartyns climb back in the ring to celebrate as "Pushing Me Away" begins to play. Natasha applauds from the outside as Mr McMartyn stands between the team and raises their hands. Suddenly, Dan Jones shoves the CWF President out of the way and delivers the DARKNESS FALLS to his partner! Mr McMartyn looks on in shock as Dan quickly rolls out of the ring and hurries to the top of the entrance ramp.]

JONES: "WHAT?!"

"HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA!"

[A mocking cackle booms through the arena as CWF Vice-President Acid saunters out from the back. She walks up and pats Dan Jones on the back.]

ACID: "A job well done I'd say Dan. Clive, let me introduce you to the man I name No. 1 Contender for the CWF Championship, and the man I intend to MAKE CWF Champion… Dan Jones!"

[Standing over his fallen son, McMartyn looks on in shock, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.]

ACID: "Surprised I got one over on you again? You needn't be... and you needn't be surprised when Dan Jones becomes the NEW CWF Champion… not that brat son of yours like you seem to think! But until then, I'll you on Turbulence- PARTNER!"

["Left Behind" plays as Acid triumphantly raises Dan Jones' hand. Thursday Night Redemption goes off the air as the camera fades out on this new alliance…]
