July 12th, 2009 "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring plays as we
see images of a younger Shannon Skanes from his previous days as a
wrestler. We see him winning titles and standing tall with allies as
well as images of him nose to nose with his greatest enemies. We
then see a current image of Shannon sitting backstage in his locker
room stall, aware tonight will be his last as a wrestler in the CWA.
We then looks to another area backstage where Noah Skanes is with
Neriah Sweet. Noah Skanes - Neriah, my thoughts are of how badly I am going to beat AJ Cameron and how he won't have an excuse for the beating he takes. Neriah Sweet - No worries about outside interference? Noah Skanes - No, I have overcome so much in my career, I can handle anything that this match throws at me. Neriah Sweet - Any advice for your father at all? Noah Skanes - I would have advice for him, but he doesn't need it. Tonight, everything is set aside and tonight we prove which family is stronger. Max and AJ are both in a world of trouble. Neriah Sweet - I guess it's good to be confident. Noah Skanes - No, it's good to be good Neriah. Confidence means nothing without talent. AJ is about to learn that the hard way. Tonight is my night. Neriah Sweet - Best of luck. Noah Skanes - Thanks, Neriah. He walks off and we head to the ring to get the
action started. "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits plays as The Moose makes his way out onto the stage and the crowd gives him a warm response. He waves to the fans and then quickly makes his way down the ramp to ringside. Moose then rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring and quickly gets to his feet where he then talks to referee Mark Davis while his music fades and then we hear "Voices" by Rev Theory and Malk comes out to a solid pop as well. Malk then makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then he hands off his title belt to the timekeeper before he then makes his way up the ring steps onto the ring apron. He steps through the ropes into the ring and the referee then calls for the bell as the two combatants circle one another. Ricky Simms - Solid rematch here for the Old School title as we start the show. Henry Lesher - Well, this is Moose's great embarrassment, Rick. That's what this is. Malk locks up with Moose and then whips Moose off the ropes and gives him a knee to the gut and then a double axe handle smash to the back. Malk then picks Moose up and slams him to the mat and then gives him a knee drop to the chest before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Malk then stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as Moose ducks it and then he gives Malk a series of elbows to the gut before giving him a bulldog to the mat. Moose then stands Malk up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Moose then goes to the corner buckle and climbs to the top rope. Malk gets to his feet and takes a flying clothesline off the top from Moose which brings Malk back to the floor. Ricky Simms - Moose taking over early on here. Henry Lesher - Hey, Moose is just trying to save face tonight. Moose stands Malk up and takes an eye gouge from Malk who then rams Moose's head into the guard railing and then he rolls Moose back into the ring before doing the same. Malk then places Moose's throat over the bottom rope and chokes him with it while the referee threatens to disqualify him. Malk does break the choke, stands Moose up and whips him off the ropes before both men clothesline one another to the mat. This leaves the referee starting to count both men down while a Moose chant starts in the crowd. Moose does manages to get to his hands and knees on the four count and then Malk does the same. Both men start trading punches from their knees and Moose then rams Malk's face into the mat before he then places him in a camel clutch. Ricky Simms - Looks like Moose is trying to wear down the champ here. Henry Lesher - Wear down Malk? The opening bell does that. Malk refuses to submit to Moose's hold and he then starts to pull himself up from the mat. Moose finally releases the hold, stands Malk up, whips him into the corner buckle and then he goes for a shoulder block. Malk side steps that and rams Moose's shoulder into the corner buckle and then he gives Moose a back suplex to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Malk slaps the mat and has unkind words for the referee before standing Moose up, whipping him off the ropes and then he backdrops Moose to the mat. Malk then gives Moose a leg drop to the throat before he again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Ricky Simms - Moose is showing his toughness here. Henry Lesher - He is tough, tougher than this. Malk stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a shoulder block, but Moose doesn't go down. He instead gives Malk an upper cut and then gives him a vertical suplex to the mat. Moose then stands Malk up, then gives him another vertical suplex to the mat. Moose then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the second rope. He then leaps off and lands a scissor kick to the back of the neck on Malk from there. Moose then stands over Malk and catches his breath while looking out to the crowd. He then picks Malk up over hos shoulder and then gives him a Moosedriver to the mat. Moose then stands over Malk, shakes his head and picks him up a second time and delivers a second Moosedriver before he finally goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Moose wins and becomes a two-time Old School champion! Ricky Simms - Moose gets the gold back over a very game Malk. Henry Lesher - Moose saves face. He can move on now to real wrestlers. Moose rolls himself out to the floor and starts
making his way up the ramp. He holds the title high above his head
as the crowd cheers him on. He then places the belt over his
shoulder as we head backstage. JC Michaels - Kira really has it in for you. Rebella DeCesare - She's a child. JC Michaels - Regardless, she really has it in for you. Rebella DeCesare - I am not worried about her, my dear. She is just worried about her title. That title will soon be mine. She knows it. JC Michaels - Well, clearly, it's not like you're challenged here. Rebella DeCesare - No, I am not. The booking is so unfortunate for everyone involved who isn't me. I am bringing more gold to the EVC. We'll run this company soon enough. JC Michaels - The cream will rise to the top. "Just Like You" by Three Days Grace plays as Noah Skanes makes his way onto the stage where the crowd gives him a solid ovation. He has the CWA Originals Title belt over his shoulder and he carries it down the ramp to ringside and then hands his title belt off to the timekeeper before he then steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Noah then leans back against the ropes as his music fades and we hear "Touched" by Vest play as AJ Cameron makes his way out onto the stage where the crowd gives him a mixed reaction. He then makes his way down the ramp to ringside with the CWA Tag Team Title belt over his shoulder. He points at Noah's belt and says his is a real title, that Originals is pointless. Ricky Simms - AJ is putting his foot in his mouth again. Originals has dozens of wrestlers in it. Henry Lesher - Originals is pointless. Noah is the champ. Shannon was the champ over a dozen times. That proves it right there really. AJ pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring, allowing referee Francis Clarke to call for the bell and start the match. AJ offers to shake hands with Noah and Noah looks to the crowd. The crowd tell Noah not to shake AJ's hand. Instead, Noah shrugs and grabs AJ's hand and squeezes it, bringing him to his knees before Noah then kicks him in the chest. Noah then gives AJ a hip toss to the mat and then places an arm bar on him. AJ refuses to submit when asked by the referee and then he gives Noah an eye gouge followed by a hip toss to the mat and then AJ applies a headlock on Noah. Ricky Simms - Good back and forth action in this one. Henry Lesher - We define good in different ways, I see. Noah backs AJ into the ropes, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick to the mat. Noah then lands a knee drop to the forehead on AJ and then he stands AJ up, whips him through the ropes to the floor and then starts climbing the ropes in the corner. AJ gets to his feet and takes a flying dropkick from Noah which sends him back down to the floor. Noah then stands AJ up and takes a thumb to the eye. AJ then picks Noah up and slams him to the floor before putting the boots to him. AJ then stands Noah up and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself into the ring. AJ then stands Noah up and rakes his eyes along the top rope, dragging him into the corner where he kicks Noah in the ribs. AJ then snap mares Noah to the mat and applies a chin lock. Ricky Simms - AJ taking over here. Henry Lesher - Noah is confused as he isn't fighting a starving lunatic this week. AJ is three-quarters of a wrestler and that's more than he can handle. Noah gets to his feet and then backs AJ into the corner buckle where he gives AJ a series of elbows to the gut. Noah then gives AJ a spine buster to the mat and then slams his head off of the mat. Noah stands over AJ while the fans cheer. He then looks to the crowd and nods his head while he stands AJ up. AJ then surprises Noah with a jawbreaker and then pulls the feet out from under Noah and applies a sharpshooter on Noah. Noah reaches for the ropes and refuses to submit when asked by the referee. The fans start a chant for Noah as he pulls himself closer to the ropes and then he manages to grab the bottom rope which forces the break. Noah then pulls himself out to the floor as AJ gets to his feet inside the ring. AJ then goes for a suicide five onto Noah, but Noah is waiting for him, catches him and spins him to the floor with a power slam which draws a cheer from the crowd. Ricky Simms - Nice counter there by Noah Skanes. Henry Lesher - He must have inherited his talent from Myst, not Shannon. Noah stands AJ up and rolls him into the ring and then he rolls himself in as well. Noah then stands AJ up, whips him off the ropes and AJ ducks a clothesline before he gives Noah a series of punches to the side of the head. AJ then climbs to the corner buckle and faces out towards the crowd as he readies to deliver a moonsault. Noah shoves AJ and causes him to fall, catching himself on the top rope before Noah delivers a backslide to the mat on AJ from the top in Noah's variation of the Executive Decision and he holds AJ's shoulders down for the pin. 1...2...3! Noah Skanes wins and AJ is forced out of the CWA! Ricky Simms - The Skanes-Cameron feud is through round one with Noah getting the win here. Henry Lesher - Tommy would never accept Noah as his tag partner. They will have to investigate what is to be done with the belt AJ just vacated. Noah leaves the ring and grabs his title belt
from the table and then picks up the tag title belt off the table as
well. He rolls himself back into the ring and then drills AJ between
the eyes with the tag title belt before he then drops it to the mat
next to a fallen and bloodied AJ. We then see Max Cameron on stage,
applauding the actions of Noah Skanes. Noah spots Max and seems
confused by his reaction. Noah then opts to head down the side of
the ramp and stay away from the stage where Max stands in order to
reach the backstage area. Myst - Our son won his match. Shannon Skanes - That doesn't surprise me. Paulie La Cerva - AJ loses his job. Look, if you can retire Max and rid the company of that dead weight, we could talk about your stakes in this company. Shannon Skanes - You want me to stay? Myst - It's good for business. Shannon Skanes - Well, if that's all it is to you. Paulie La Cerva - It's all business. Tonight we make a few bucks off of nostalgia for you and your career. Shannon Skanes - I was talking to my wife. Paulie La Cerva - Ex-wife, you mean. Shannon Skanes - Sal was right. You are a prick. Myst - Okay, enough, both of you. Look, Shannon, I want Max out of this company. He's not useful to us anymore. You can be. That's what we are telling you. If you want to be stupid, that's your call. We believe you can still be useful to us as a wrestler. Shannon Skanes - I have other plans. Paulie la Cerva - Care to enlighten us? Shannon Skanes - Go blow yourself, Paulie. Myst - You never know when to quit, Shannon. Well, you either quit too early or not at all. You are guaranteed to screw it up somehow, though. Shannon Skanes - Nice seeing you, too, dear. Myst and Paulie leave. Moments later, Shannon
throws a bottle across the room and it smashes against a wall. "Piece of Me" by Britney Spears plays as Bombshell makes her way onto the stage and the crowd gives her a rather mixed reaction. She then makes her way down the ramp to ringside and looks around at the crowd before she pulls herself onto the apron and then leaps over the top rope into the ring. She then paces inside the ring while her music fades. We then hear "The Day I Died" by Six and RC Pride and Greyson Blaze makes his way onto the stage where the crowd gives him a solid ovation. He tells the camera that tonight is his night and then he charges down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope into the ring. Referee Casey Braun calls for the bell as he jumps to his feet. Ricky Simms - The winner of this match can challenge for any title they want to other than the world title. Henry Lesher - Well, surely the powers that be realize that these two don't deserve that kind of perk. Greyson locks up with Bombshell and the two struggle against the ropes for the advantage. Greyson then knees Bombshell to the ribs and follows that with a hip toss to the mat before he places her in a headlock. Bombshell then gets to her feet and gives Greyson a series of elbows to the ribs and then whips him off the ropes before giving him a dropkick to the mat. Bombshell then lands a springboard moonsault onto Greyson before she hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Greyson. Bombshell then stands Greyson up, whips him through the ropes to the floor and then she waits for him to stand before she gives him a baseball slide to the chest which sends him falling into the guard railing. Bombshell then stands Greyson up and slams his head into the ring steps before rolling him into the ring and then she does the same herself before going for another pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Greyson. Ricky Simms - That was close. Henry Lesher - It's amazing how fast a bad match can send fans to the concession stand for peanuts and soda. Bombshell stands Greyson up, whips him off the ropes and she goes for another dropkick, but Greyson side steps it. he then drops and elbow to the chest on Bombshell before she can get back up. Greyson then stands Bombshell up, whips her to the corner buckle and then he gives her a backdrop to the mat from there. Greyson then climbs the ropes in the corner and waits for Bombshell to stand before he lands a flying body press to the mat and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Bombshell. Greyson then stands Bombshell up only to take an eye rake from Bombshell. She then runs her nails down Greyson's back before she whips him shoulder first into the corner buckle and then she rolls him into a school boy pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Greyson. Ricky Simms - Bombshell not quite able to put Greyson away there. Henry Lesher - I think a lot of fans headed for the washrooms as well. Bombshell stands Greyson up, whips him into the corner buckle and then she gives him a monkey flip to the mat from there. Bombshell then goes to the corner buckle and leaps to the top rope and then she dives off, going for a flying elbow smash only to find no one home as Greyson rolls out of the way and then he jumps to his feet and then he headlocks Bombshell before giving her a springboard DDT to the mat and then he goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Greyson wins the match and earns a title shot. Ricky Simms - Greyson wins the match and rolls himself out of the ring with a smile on his face. He high fives fans at ringside while the referee attends to Bombshell inside the ring. Henry Lesher - He beats no one and earns a title shot? Ricky Simms - I guess we find out tomorrow what title he plans to challenge for. That should prove interesting. Henry Lesher - No it won't. Myst - What do you want? Lydia Parizi - Still no sign of Sal Clemenzo or Aran Dishon. Myst - *sighing* Aran flaking is no big deal really, but Sal surprises me. Lydia Parizi - And you suspend whoever fails to show, right? Myst - That's the plan, yes. Lydia Parizi - Even though you know how nasty Sal can be. Myst - I can handle Sal. Lydia Parizi - Not saying you can't, but he's got connections and... Myst - Look, I know he had you and your sister swinging from the rafters, but that won't happen to me. If it does, I have ways of dealing with it. Lydia Parizi - Dad? Myst - That's for me to know and, if everyone's good, then no one finds out my ways of dealing with it. Lydia Parizi - I guess there's still time for Sal to show up. Myst - Not much time, Lydia. I guess there will be a new champion tonight. Lydia makes her exit and we head back to the
ring. "C-lebrity" by Queen and Paul Rodgers plays as Kira Yakamoto makes her way onto the stage with the Aerial title wrapped around her waist. The crowd gives her a warm response as she stands on stage and waves to them. She is then blindsided by Rebella who gives her a clothesline to the back of the neck which sends Kira face first to the stage. Rebella asks who is calling who out now. Rebella then grabs the belt from around Kira's waist and starts whipping her across the back with it while referee Mary Sanderson rushes out to try and get control of the situation. Rebella tosses the belt aside, grabs Kira around the throat and stands her up and then gives her a headbutt before she tosses Kira right off the stage and down to the floor while the referee threatens to disqualify Rebella. Ricky Simms - My God, Rebella with a vicious assault on Kira here. Henry Lesher - Well, that's a good start to a crap match. Rebella makes her way down the ramp to ringside while Kira slowly gets to her feet on the floor. Rebella then rolls herself under the bottom rope into the ring and then she stands in the center of the ring and bows before the booing fans. Rebella then goes to the corner and climbs to the second rope and mocks Kira from there. Kira shakes off the effects of the attack as best she can and then she starts running towards the ring. Kira slides under the bottom rope into the ring and is greeted with Rebella putting the boots to her. Kira fights through the attack and pulls the feet out from under Rebella and then starts choking her with both hands while "If You Seek Amy" by Britney Spears plays and Rose Lemieux makes her way onto the stage, shaking her head. Ricky Simms - It's like Kira and Rebella have allowed their hatred for one another to blind them to Rose being in this match. Henry Lesher - Easy enough to forget an unimportant wrestler like Rose. Rose makes her way down the ramp to ringside and frowns as she pulls herself onto the apron. She steps through the ropes into the ring and the referee can finally call for the bell to start the match. Kira stands Rebella up and whips her into a corner buckle and then charges in for a shoulder block which Rebella dodges and then Rebella rolls Kira into a school boy pin attempt. 1...2... Rose kicks Rebella in the face to break up the count. Rose then stands Rebella up, whips her off the ropes and backdrops her to the mat before she then gives Rebella a leg drop to the chest before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rebella. Rose then stands Rebella up and takes a jawbreaker from Rebella who then picks Rose up and gives her a fireman's carry into a side slam to the mat. Rebella then places Rose's feet on either side of the steel corner post and then rolls herself out to the floor. Rebella then pulls Rose's legs and tries to use the corner post to split her in two. Rose cries out in pain as Rebella then rolls herself back into the ring and starts trading punches with Kira. Ricky Simms - Rebella neutralizes Rose and turns her attention back to Kira. Henry Lesher - If Rose is a tranny as rumored, she just neutered him as well. Kira thumbs Rebella in the eye and then picks her up and drops her on the top rope, using the top rope to slingshot her throat and send her falling backwards to the mat, gasping for air. Kira then boot chokes Rebella while Rose slowly gets to her feet. Kira releases the boot choke and then picks Rebella up and power slams her to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... Rose pulls Kira off of Rebella and then quickly applies a Boston Crab on the defending champ. The referee asks Kira if she submits while Rebella uses the ropes to start pulling herself to her feet. Kira refuses to submit and then Rebella headlocks Rose and bulldogs her to the mat before rolling her over for the pin attempt. 1...2... Rose rolls a shoulder out. Ricky Simms - That was close as maybe Kira and Rebella are finally seeing Rose as a threat. Henry Lesher - Well, it's not like either of them are the second coming of Q. Rebella stands Rose up and whips her through the ropes to the floor. Rebella then turns her attention back to Kira and the two are again trading punches. Kira then ducks a right hook from Rebella, turns her around and then gives her an atomic drop followed by a side Russian leg sweep to the mat. Kira then stands Rebella up, whips her into the corner buckle and then gives her a shoulder block in the corner before sitting her on the top rope. Kira climbs to the second rope and sets for a superplex as Rose rolls herself back into the ring. Kira lifts Rebella and falls back to the mat as she delivers the superplex. Rose then leaps to the top rope and lands a shooting star press on Rebella and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Rose has become the new Aerial champ! Ricky Simms - Wow, that surprises even me. Henry Lesher - The sun rising every morning surprises you Rick. Rose rolls herself out to the floor and grabs
the Aerial title belt from the timekeeper's table and then places it
over her shoulder. Rose then starts up the ramp towards the back
while we look backstage. Crystal Braun - V-Man, no one took the challenge. Vesuvius - I told Wren and Vig that this would happen. I figured this was how it would go down. Kelly Buchanan - The CWA is amazing in its cowardice. Vesuvius - That it is. Now, let's see what Adin Vick has to say in regards to this situation. The camera pans across and we see Adin Vick sitting in the back of a pick up, looking after a BBQ grill, flipping burgers. Adin Vick - I left this company years ago when I knew they were cowards. I was too much for the CWA to deal with and I decided my career was better being plotted where I could be used best. My four years as a lead in the Tacoma Showhouse production of Lord of the Dance brought out the best in me. The camera slowly pans back to Vesuvius as he scratches his head. Vesuvius - Glad you weighed in on this, Adin. Wren waited all week for someone to jump in and no one did, so I understand she's a little upset with people. I don't know how that might play out, but she has been the champ before. Kelly Buchanan - It might become a very rough ride for some CWA performers if she chooses to come back to active wrestling. Vesuvius - I guess Anarchy is just too much for
you CWA fans and performers. It's a shame. I think this is also why
Vigilante just won't return to active duty. The place just isn't
what it used to be. Maybe if the right man was leading the
company.... Myst, we'll talk. "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC plays as Max Cameron comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He has a T-shirt on which declares this to be the retirement tour of 2009. He then makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then steps up onto the apron before he motions to ring announcer Sammy Jo Johnson that he wants the microphone. Max Cameron - I would like to say that it is my pleasure to be the man to retire Shannon Skanes tonight. I take great pride in the fact that AJ failed where I will succeed. I took the path of humility and now the end is how it should be. The tie between myself and the Skanes family can be cut tonight after my big match here against a man who owes me so much for my years of service. I don't ask for much, really. I command respect and I know deep down that tonight will be my crowning.... "Cry Little Sister" by Gerard McMann plays as Shannon Skanes comes out onto the stage. He is wearing his old Sensational Seven tights, red pants with "Sensational 7" written in yellow along the sides. His black wrestling boots and black elbow pads and knee pads are also vintage as is his red and yellow Sensational Seven jacket. Max just looks dumbfounded on the apron. Ricky Simms - Shannon is wearing his classic wrestling gear. Henry Lesher - Did he copy Hulk Hogan's color scheme on purpose? How could this man have been the champ? Ricky Simms - The Sensational Seven dominated the CWA in the late 80s and early 90s. Shannon was a fourteen time world champion. Bruce Miller was a five time world champion. Shannon held the Inter-Continental title for two and a half years undefeated. Steve Lang and Greg Anderson were the tag team champions for two and a half years undefeated. Mike Wagner was the first ever Aerial champion. Charley MacAdam was the first ever Eurasian champion. Charles Grogan and Bruce Miller were US tag champs for a year and Charles has quite the run as TV champ. They were simply the most impressive group the CWA Originals ever had and this man was their leader. Henry Lesher - You're telling me I didn't miss anything then. Is that the theme from Lost Boys? Ricky Simms - This is a tremendous moment. Why do you have to ruin it? Henry Lesher - He's two leg warmers short of Flashdance, Rick! What am I ruining? Shannon runs down the ramp to ringside and then he takes off his jacket and throws it out to the crowd. He then climbs the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Max is still dumbfounded on the apron and shakes his head as he tosses the microphone back to Sammy Jo Johnson and then he steps through the ropes into the ring which allows referee Rob Rai to call for the bell. Max and Shannon then lock up in a test of strength. Shannon gains the early advantage and stomps his foot on the mat to get the fans clapping for him. Max then gives Shannon a kick to the ribs and then picks him up and slams him to the mat. Shannon rolls out of that and jumps to his feet and then starts dancing back and forth while landing punches to the side of the head on Max. Ricky Simms - It's been twenty years since I saw Shannon wrestle like this. Henry Lesher - I can see why he needs to retire. Shannon whips Max into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of forearm smashes to the side of the head before giving him a hip toss to the mat. Max lands on his feet and then gives Shannon a clothesline to the mat. Max then picks Shannon up and slams him to the mat and then gives him a knee drop to the forehead. Max then rolls Shannon out to the floor before following close after. Max then stands Shannon up and slams his head into the guard railing before he then slams his head into the steel ring steps. Shannon then knees Max in the gut and slams his head into the ring steps. Shannon then picks Max up and slams him to the floor and then rolls himself into the ring to break up the count only to roll himself back out. Ricky Simms - This isn't going to be a pretty match. Henry Lesher - Of course not. Tommy isn't out here yet. Shannon stands Max up and sets for a vertical suplex, but Max blocks it. Max then gives Shannon a vertical suplex to the floor. Max then stands over Shannon and shakes his head before he then gives Shannon a kick to the head. Max stands Shannon up and rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself. Max then stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a shoulder block down to the mat. Max then stands Shannon up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a fisherman's suplex from there before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Max then slaps the mat and tells the referee that was a three count. Max stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and then backdrops him to the mat. Shannon lands on his feet and then gives Max a German suplex to the mat and holds him down for the count. 1...2.... kick out by Max who then rolls himself out of the ring and signals for a timeout. Shannon answers that by launching himself through the ropes and giving Max a lariat to the floor. Ricky Simms - Fantastic action in this one, Doc. You have to admit that. Henry Lesher - I don't have to admit anything. Shannon stands Max up and then whips him shoulder first into the guard railing. Shannon then stands Max up and runs him shoulder first into the steel corner post. Shannon then picks up the ring steps and prepares to crush Max's skull with them. The referee gets in between the two of them and threatens to disqualify Shannon from the match. Shannon thinks about it and then drops the ring steps. The referee heads back into the ring and misses Max kicking Shannon below the belt twice. Shannon doubles over in pain and Max gives him a DDT to the ring steps. Max then rolls Shannon into the ring before doing the same himself. Max then pulls Shannon to his feet and smiles as he delivers The Contradiction and then he rolls Shannon over for the pin. 1...2...3! Max wins in what is the swan song for Shannon's career. Ricky Simms - Max took advantage of the referee looking the other way and wins the match. Henry Lesher - That's how you end a career, against a man who doesn't matter. Max stands over Shannon with his arms raised and is smiling. We then see Noah Skanes come out onto the stage. He is applauding what he just saw and he makes his way down the ramp to ringside. Noah is smiling as he then steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He motions to Sammy Jo Johnson and she throws him a microphone. Noah Skanes - Max, congratulations on defeating my father and retiring him. This has to feel good for you. Max Cameron - Now I can be seen as the star I am. Noah Skanes - Right, that makes sense. I mean, you had to cheat there, but you got the job done. That's what matters, right? Max Cameron - I got the win, kid. Noah Skanes - Kid? Wow, I don't hear that often. See, the things is, I am not sure what you did there, Max. My father was retiring anyway and just came out to entertain these fine people tonight. He did that. Max Cameron - What's your point? Noah Skanes - I don't know that I have one. You see, I felt inspired when I saw Dad come out here in the old red and yellow. Knowing the rest of the Sensational Seven was watching in the back... Noah looks towards the stage and the crowd erupts with cheers while Max looks more than a little scared. Noah Skanes - *laughing* No, I can't do that to you. They're not all watching out back. In fact, outside of Bruce Miller, there is one member of the group who wanted to greet you tonight. Max Cameron - I'm not scared of Bruce Miller. Noah Skanes - I can't imagine you would be. My new manager wanted to let you know that things might never be over between our families. Max Cameron - Manager? Noah Skanes - Yeah, he's had enough time to recover now, hasn't he manager? Shannon kips up to his feet and then he starts landing punches to the back of the head on Max and then he tosses Max through the ropes to the floor. Shannon Skanes - *taking the microphone from Noah* You won, Max. You won the battle. My son will win the war. I, as his new manager, will be glad to watch him to it too. Max retreats up the ramp while the crowd
cheers. Drina Peretti - Do you know the risk you're taking? Paulie La Cerva - I cannot run a show and have Sal the champ. Drina Peretti - But this is Sal Clemenzo. You know what he is capable of. Paulie La Cerva - You forget what I am capable of? I am the man who will make Sal disappear. Drina Peretti - How many people has he made disappear, Paulie? Paulie La Cerva - You worry too much, my pet. I have Myst where I want her. I am going to have a new champion in Sal's place. Everything is falling into place for me tonight. Drina Peretti - Sal is a resourceful man. I can't see him taking kindly to you holding him off of television and trying to cost him his title this way. Paulie La Cerva - That's too bad for him. I run the show. He doesn't want to play nice, then he goes down. It's that simple. People will learn not to cross me, baby. Drina Peretti - I hope you're right. "Downfall" by Trust Company plays as Tommy Purr makes his way out onto the stage. The crowd gives him a solid ovation as he makes his way down the ramp and tells the camera that tonight he is winning his title back. He stops at ringside and looks around at the crowd for a moment before he pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He then leans back against the ropes as his music fades and then we hear "Hollow Man" by The Hollow Men and TV champ Gary Barber makes his way onto the stage to loud boos from the crowd. He is followed by JC Michaels down the ramp which causes Tommy to protest to referee Steve Blake to no avail. Ricky Simms - Tommy doesn't want JC out here. Henry Lesher - They have history. Tommy should have teamed with winners. Instead, he has teamed with guys like AJ Cameron and Malk, so here we are. Gary hands the title belt to JC Michaels and then steps up onto the apron before he steps through the ropes into the ring. The referee calls for the bell as Tommy locks up with Gary. Tommy backs Gary to the ropes where the referee asks for a clean break. Tommy takes a step back and gets a slap to the face from Gary. Gary then gives Tommy a series of knife edge chops to the chest which back him to the center of the ring and then Gary picks Tommy up and gives him a shoulderbreaker and then goes for the early pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Gary then stands Tommy up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of kicks to the chest while JC applauds at ringside. Gary then places his boot to the throat of Tommy and chokes him with it, using the ropes for leverage even as the referee threatens to end the match on a DQ. Ricky Simms - Gary showing a vicious streak here in defending his title. Henry Lesher - He is a vicious man, for sure. This is the first real match we have had all night and the night is nearly over. That's how bad things have become in the CWA. Gary releases the choke and then he gives Tommy a belly to belly overhead suplex to the middle of the ring. Gary then applies an STF on Tommy while the fans start a chant for the challenger. Tommy refuses to submit when asked by the referee and he reaches out to the ropes while Gary tries to hold him in the middle of the ring. Tommy then lunges ahead and manages to grab the bottom rope which forces the break of the hold. Gary releases Tommy, stands him up and takes a series of elbows to the gut from Tommy who then gives Gary a spinebuster to the mat. Tommy then picks Gary up over his shoulder and then runs him face first into the top turnbuckle. Tommy then spinds Gary to the mat with a power slam and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Gary. Ricky Simms - Tommy almost win his belt back there. Henry Lesher - You know what almost counts for, Rick. Tommy stands Gary up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Tommy then goes to the ropes in the corner and makes his way to the top. Gary gets to his feet and takes a flying clothesline back to the floor from Tommy. JC then makes his way around the ring to the side where the action is taking place and he starts to have words with Tommy Purr. Gary gets to his feet behind Tommy and then gives him a kick to the kidney before giving him an inverted DDT to the floor. Gary then rolls him in before doing the same himself and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Both Gary Barber and JC Michaels argue that should have been a three count, but the referee is not convinced. Gary then stands Tommy up, rakes his eyes along the top rope and then slams his head into the corner buckle. Gary then places Tommy on the second rope and then gives him a snap mare to the mat from there and then kicks him in the face. Gary then boot chokes Tommy, again relying on the ropes for leverage in his effort to weaken Tommy. The referee counts towards a disqualification, and Gary releases the ropes as well as the choke on the four count. Ricky Simms - Tommy is in tough here against Gary inside the ring and JC outside of it. Henry Lesher - Like I said, if he had a real ally, he might stand a chance. Gary whips Tommy to the opposite corner and then goes for a shoulder block in the corner only to have Tommy side step it. Tommy then goes for the school boy pin attempt on Gary. 1...2... kick out by Gary Barber. Tommy then stands Gary up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick to the mat. Tommy then goes to the ropes and quickly makes his way to the top. JC jumps onto the apron and the referee then goes over to JC and orders him off of the ring apron. JC refuses to jumps down and the referee tells him he is banned from ringside. As JC argues, Tommy lands a flying cross body onto Gary Barber and holds the leg for the pin, behind the referee's back. The crowd counts to six and screams for the referee to turn around. Hammer then rolls himself into the ring and clocks Tommy across the back of the head with a chair. Hammer rolls himself out of the ring and JC finally relents and heads away from the ring. Ricky Simms - The EVC strikes again! Henry Lesher - Hey, that's how it works when AJ is your teammate. Gary Barber sits up, sees that Tommy Purr is in trouble and wastes no time locking in Ockham's Razor. He strains as he applies the hold with everything he has and the referee checks on Tommy. Finding him unresponsive, the referee is forced to call for the bell and Gary Barber retains the TV Title. Ricky Simms - That's a miscarriage of justice right there. Henry Lesher - It's a thing of beauty, Rick. Gary rolls himself out to the floor and picks
up his TV title belt and starts to make his way up the ramp while
informing the camera that he did all of it himself. He is a
self-made champion. Ray Dees - Has there been a sighting of Sal Clemenzo tonight? Myst - No and we will have to strip him of his title. Ray Dees - What about Aran Dishon? Myst - There has been no sighting of him either. It's regrettable, but we have to suspend both men for their inaction tonight. The warning was there and the suspensions are now in place. Ray Dees - So either Pyro or Jack Spade will be the new champ. Myst - You're a genius Ray. Seriously, that's some great reporting there. Ray Dees - Well, thanks, I have.... oh, you were being sarcastic. Myst - It only took you ten seconds to figure that out. Ray Dees - What's your reaction to what happened with your son and husband earlier tonight? Myst - My reaction is none of your business. It's not related to the ring, so it doesn't have any importance to the product out there. Shannon and Noah will be well aware of my reaction soon enough. Ray Dees - As soon as next week? Myst - Maybe, but as I said, that's not really your business. Now, out of my way. I have a main event to watch. She shoves past Ray and we head to the ring for
tonight's main event. "Walk With Me In Hell" by Lamb of God plays as Pyro makes his way out onto the stage. The crowd actually gives him a solid reaction and he smirks as he is followed by Savannah Blackwell down the ramp. He stops at ringside and has a few words with Savannah before he pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He then stands in the middle of the ring as his music fades and then we hear "King of the Stereo" by Saliva and Jack Spade comes out to a loud ovation. He tells the camera that tonight is his night and then he runs down the ramp to ringside, leaps onto the ring apron and then jumps over the top rope into the ring which allows referee Mark Davis to call for the bell and start the match. Ricky Simms - One of these men will be the new world champ. Henry Lesher - Neither deserve it. Tell me why JC Michaels, Hammer or Moose aren't in there. Ricky Simms - These guys earned their shot, Doc. Pyro trades punches with Spade and then they start trading knife edge chops while the crowd seems to be slanted in favor of Jack Spade, though only barely. Pyro then kicks Spade in the gut before giving him a swinging neckbreaker to the mat and then he goes for the quick pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade. Pyro stands Spade up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Pyro then picks Spade up and slams him to the mat and then gives him a knee drop to the forehead. Pyro then stands Spade up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick to the mat. Pyro stands over Spade and smirks, nodding his head as if this is going according to how he planned it. Pyro then stands Spade up, then whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Pyro then stands in the middle of the ring with his arms raised and tells the camera that it's only a matter of time now. Ricky Simms - Pyro seems really confident considering he is rarely in this position. Henry Lesher - Well, as much as I don't like Spade, he was champ for six months in 2008, so Pyro is showing he's even more of an idiot than I would normally observe. Spade pulls himself onto the ring apron and takes a series of punches from Pyro who then slingshots Spade's neck off the top rope and sends him back down to the floor. The referee warns Pyro about such tactics, but Pyro pays no attention to the official as he rolls himself out to the floor. Pyro gives Spade a punch to the throat and then gives him a facebuster to the floor. Pyro again stands over Spade as if this match is already won. Pyro stands Spade up, rolls him into the ring and then does the same himself before he goes for the pin. 1...2... Spade gets a foot on the bottom rope. Pyro then pulls Spade to the middle of the ring and again goes for the pin. 1...2... Spade rolls a shoulder out. Ricky Simms - I thought Pyro had him there, actually. Henry Lesher - I love watching Pyro almost be a good wrestler and then regress to his larval form. Ricky Simms - Larval? Henry Lesher - You heard me, Rick. Pyro stands Spade up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as Spade ducks it. Spade then gives Pyro a series of rights and lefts to the jaw which back him into the corner. Spade then whips Pyro to the opposite corner and then charges in and lands a shoulder block there on Pyro. He then gives Pyro an inverted atomic drop followed by a clothesline to the mat. Spade then picks Pyro up and tosses him right over the top rope and out to the floor. Spade then rolls himself out to the floor and he starts kicking Pyro in the ribs before running him shoulder first into the guard railing. Spade then drags Pyro over to the announce table. Ricky Simms - It looks like we have the best seats in the house again, Doc. Henry Lesher - Well, if it we Tommy or Frank wrestling, I would agree. Jack Spade rams Pyro's head into the announce table twice and then lays him on top of it. Jack Spade then climbs onto the ring apron and then climbs the ropes in the corner. He poses for the fans and goes for a flying elbow smash on Pyro, but Pyro manages to roll out of the way and Spade crashes through the table instead. The crowd cheers the carnage as Pyro gets to his feet and rolls himself into the ring. He then rolls himself out after Spade, aware he cannot become champion by a count out. Pyro pulls Spade from the remnants of the table and then rolls him under the bottom rope into the ring. Pyro rolls himself in and then goes for the pin on Jack Spade. 1...2... Spade gets a foot on the bottom rope for the second time in this match. Pyro then tries to pull Jack away from the ropes, but Jack grabs the bottom rope and then pulls himself out of the ring. Ricky Simms - Jack is headed away from Pyro here. Henry Lesher - He must be hitting rock bottom if he's afraid of Pyro. Pyro drops and rolls himself out after Jack. Jack then gives Pyro a series of rights and lefts to the jaw and then slams his head off of the ring steps. Jack follows that up by slamming Pyro's head into the ring apron and then rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself. Jack then stands Pyro up and whips him straight into the referee, sending them both to the mat. Jack rolls himself out of the ring and grabs one of the video monitors that had been at the ring announce table. The fans are screaming at Jack not to use it as he rolls himself into the ring. Pyro stands and takes a shot to the forehead with the video monitor. Jack then climbs the ropes in the corner and leaps off the top, giving Pyro a shot to the head with the monitor which he then tosses from the ring while the crowd boos. Jack then helps the referee up and goes for the pin. 1.....2......3! Jack Spade wins and is the new CWA champion! Ricky Simms - Jack resorts to those tactics tonight? He doesn't need to do that kind of thing. Henry Lesher - I think I just became a fan. Pyro's bleeding like an Iranian rebel. Ricky Simms - Cut that out, Doc. Jack Spade just turned his back on everything he was in taking a severe shortcut to become champ tonight. The question we are all left to ask is why. Pyro no doubt has a concussion and Spade looks pleased with himself as he is presented the title. Henry Lesher - Jack Spade is the champ. Why shouldn't he be pleased with himself? Ricky Simms - Now you're his fan. Henry Lesher - I have always been a firm believer in a ruling class and this guy now rules. Spade stands on the top rope with the title belt over his shoulder while the fans boo him and EMTs attend to Pyro inside the ring. Spade then drops to the mat and places the title belt around his waist while telling the camera that it won't be going anywhere for a very long time. Ricky Simms - Tune in next week to Overdrive and see who steps up to challenge Jack Spade! Henry Lesher - May I nominate Frank? We fade to black as Jack continues to celebrate his victory. |
