We hear "The Outsider" by A Perfect Circle as we see images of old Battle of the Warriors winners, images of hall of fame talents like Max Cameron, Moose, Vigilante, Leech, and Rated R. We see images of Shannon Skanes both in action and backstage in his office doing his work.

Help me if you can
It's just that this is not the way I'm wired
So could you please,
Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires

We see images of the 420 Flock, Dragon walking alongside SinMan and Ash as they walk towards an old CWA ring. We then fade to Vigilante, Leech, and Moose wearing Enemies of the State shirts while posing for cheering fans.

You're lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess. Why would I want to watch you?

Rated R is shown running Myst over in a computer recreation of the event. He is shown attacking Noah Skanes, beating up Tricia Smith, attacking Kathy Smith and then shown in his various brawls with owner Shannon Skanes

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb
belligerence
Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all its
decadence

Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the fault line

Images are shown of Slim Pickens, Wren SilverPhoenix, Bullrush, D'Anton Maybon, Tommy Purr and Hoshi Yakamoto from classic GWO moments. Tommy Purr is seen winking at the camera.

What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, why would I wanna watch you?

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

Myst is seen with the CWA title, then seen staring down Wren SilverPhoenix and then seen beating down Shannon Skanes in a rare match the two of them had. There are crowds shown from every era along the way.

They were right about you
They were right about you

Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it put it on the fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, coalesce, coalesce!

We see images from 1987 when Terminator and Shannon Skanes fought for an epic seventy-three minutes and three seconds in a match that's remembered as possibly the best cage match in CWA history. We see Shannon fighting Blair Drake and Bruce Miller in a triple threat match seen as the most surprising cage match result ever. We see images of Rated R winning the GWO Title and images of him winning a million dollars in the CWA tournament.

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama
prove sincere,
Do it somewhere far away from here

We see various forms of the CWA logo, of the GWO logo and of the AW logo before finally showing the current CWA logo and then we see Ray Dees pacing near the door to the arena in the parking lot.

Lucy Johnson enters the picture and Ray smiles.

Ray Dees - Lucy, a minute of your time?

Lucy Johnson - Why? Why waste my time talking to you?

Ray Dees - Might be your last chance.

Lucy  Johnson - Whatever, I just want this over with.

She pushes Ray out of the way and down to the floor. She then barges into the arena while First Degree enters the picture and he glares at a shaken Ray Dees.

First Degree - Want to get smart with me, Ray?

Ray Dees - No, I can wait you out, too.

First Degree tackles Ray to the ground and then turns to the camera and lunges towards it before he then turns and heads inside the building.


"Bad Medicine" by Die Mannequin plays as Rose Lemieux comes out onto the stage and receives a loud ovation from the crowd. She starts to make her way down the ramp only to be attacked from behind by Wren who is now going by the name Michelle McAllister. Wren chop blocks Rose down, then pulls her by the hair to ringside before standing her up and whipping her shoulder first into the steel ring steps. The crowd boos as Michelle then stands Rose up and rolls her into the ring before doing the same herself. Michelle goes for the pin only to have the referee tell her the match cannot be started yet. Michelle starts arguing with the referee as Slim slips into the ring under the bottom rope and that allows the referee tp call for the bell. Michelle nods, believing she talked Sabrina into calling for the bell. She then turns and takes a kick to the gut from Slim who then bulldogs Michelle to the mat before rolling her over for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by McAllister.

Ricky Simms - The usually large roster of members vying for a million bucks has been slimmed down to three tonight. One match here decides the million dollar winner for 2011.

Henry Lesher - This is a sad comment on the state of affairs within the CWA. I have my resume all set for ESW.

Slim stands Michelle up, whips her off the ropes and then backdrops her to the mat before he takes a superkick to the chin from a recovered Rose. Rose then dropkicks Slim to the mat and then she goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim. Rose stands Slim up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block only to have Slim step out of the way and then he gets a spear through the ropes and to the floor from McAllister. Michelle then starts trading rights and lefts with Rose Lemieux before whipping her off the ropes and then she ducks her head for a backdrop. Rose kicks Michelle in the head and then shoves her through the ropes and out to the floor with Slim. Rose then climbs to the top rope in the corner buckle. Slim and Michelle get to their feet only to both get taken down with a flying cross body by Rose Lemieux which draws cheers from the crowd. Rose then stands Slim up and rolls him into the ring before she climbs onto the ring apron. She then steps through the ropes into the ring and gives Slim a knee to the ribs before going for an abdominal stretch that Slim counters with a hip toss before he places Rose in a sleeper. The referee checks for a submission, but Rose is unwilling to give up.

Ricky Simms - This is some great action here as all three wrestlers battle it out.

Henry Lesher - It's a crapfest with no one willing to admit they all suck.

Michelle pulls herself onto the ring apron and then jumps onto the top rope, leaps off and headlocks Slim before giving him a bulldog to the mat. She then shouts to the crowd that the million is hers and they boo. She gives the fans the finger and then she gets to her feet over Slim while Rose has fallen to the mat from the sleeper she was just a victim of. Michelle stands between Slim and Rose, alternating kicks to the back both of them. Michelle then stands Slim up, whips him off the ropes and then kicks him in the gut, sending him flying through the air before he lands on his tailbone. Michelle then leg drops Slim to the chest and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim. Michelle then stands Slim up and whips him into the corner post before going for a running shoulder. Slim raises a knee and catches Michelle in the side of the head with it before giving her a knife edge chop to the chest and then her gives her a vertical suplex to the mat. Slim then gets to his feet only to take a dropkick to the chest from Rose that sends him back into the corner. Rose then gets to her feet quickly and then sets for a vertical suplex on Slim only to have him block it. He then gives her a knee to the ribs before giving her a body slam to the mat and then he gives her a knee drop to the forehead before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rose.

Ricky Simms - Slim was that close to a million bucks.

Henry Lesher - I couldn't care less. He'd just blow it all on pull tabs anyway.

Slim stands Rose up, whips her off the ropes and gives her a shoulder block to the mat as Michelle gets to her feet. He gives her a knife edge chop to the chest and she answers with an eye gouge and then rakes his eyes along the top rope before giving him a punch to the throat and then she gives him a German suplex to the mat, holding his shoulders down for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Slim. Michelle protests to the referee who isn't having any of it. Michelle then stands Slim up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a monkey flip to the mat. Michelle then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top. She leaps off and lands right in the grasp of Rose who gives her a spinebuster to the mat. Both women lie motionless on the mat for a few moments before Rose goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Michelle.

Ricky Simms - That was a close one.

Henry Lesher - Why is this still going on? People won't care just because the match keeps going.

Rose stands Michelle up only to take a jawbreaker from Michelle who then gives Rose a belly to belly overhead suplex. Michelle then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rose. Michelle then rolls Rose out of the ring before rolling herself out. Michelle starts pulling the mats up from the floor to expose the concrete. She sets Rose for a DDT onto the floor, but Rose straightens up and backdrops Michelle to the floor instead. Rose then rolls herself back into the ring where she is greeted with a knee to the ribs from Slim. He then pulls Rose to the middle of the ring and applies The Slim Chance on Rose. The referee checks for a submission and sees Rose is fading. She lifts Rose's arm and it drops once. She lifts the arm a second time and it drops. She lifts it a third time and it drops while Michelle slips back into the ring. The bell sounds and it's announced Slim Pickens has won the match.

Ricky Simms - Slim just won a million bucks.

Henry Lesher - Dear Lord, that's wrong.

Michelle McAllister pleads her case to Sabrina Davidson, but she has nothing to appeal for. Slim exits the ring and Michelle heads out after him. She turns Slim around and says that this isn't over. Slim just shakes his head and tells her he has a million reasons that this is over. He turns and starts up the ramp while Michelle looks skyward and screams. She then slips back into the ring where Rose is starting to come to. Rose uses the ropes to slowly get to her feet only to take a spear from Michelle that sends her through the ropes and out to the floor. Michelle screams that she should be the winner and it's her money.

Ricky Simms - Well, she might be using a different name, but she's still crazy.

Henry Lesher - Well, she was the least objectionable to winning that money. Now what?

Emma McIntyre is seen backstage getting ready for her match when Ingee Shmelky enters the picture, ready for an interview.

Ingee Shmelky - Emma, your reaction to word that tonight's show may be the last for Lethal Attraction?

Emma McIntyre - There is only one thing more tiring for me than listening to either of those two speak and it's talking about them.

Ingee Shmelky - But if they do leave, this would leave a large window open for you in terms of a possible World Title shot.

Emma McIntyre - I am aware of my chances, and I was going to get that shot whether they were here or not. Are you telling me I couldn't have beaten them on my own?

Ingee Shmelky - No, just that it's easier with this happening.

Emma McIntyre - I have a match to get ready for, midget. Go away.

She shoos him away and Ingee leaves, appearing dejected and upset while we return to the ring.



"So What" by Pink plays as Corina emerges onto the stage where the crowd greets her with boos. She shakes her head at them and tells the camera that this match will be over quickly. She winks at the camera before blowing it a kiss and then she makes her way down the ramp to ringside. She pauses there to have a few words with a fan in the front row and then she pulls herself onto the ring apron, then stepping through the ropes into the ring. Her music then fades and we hear "Gold Dust Woman" by Hole and Kathy Smith comes out to a decent pop from the crowd. Kathy then makes her way down the ramp to ringside and then stops there to look into the ring at Corina. Kathy then pulls herself onto the ring apron and steps through the ropes into the ring which allows the referee to call for the bell.

Ricky Simms - If Kathy wins this match, Corina is fired as Shannon's secretary.

Henry Lesher - Does anyone actually believe Shannon is not sleeping with this woman? I mean, seriously?

Kathy moves in to lock up with Corina and takes a kick to the gut instead. Corina then rakes the eyes of Kathy before whipping her into the corner buckle and then she gives her a knee to the gut before giving her a double underhook suplex to the middle of the ring. Corina then stands Kathy up, whips her off the ropes and clotheslines her to the mat before giving her a knee to the forehead and then she hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kathy. Corina then stands Kathy up, then whips her into the corner buckle where she goes for a shoulder block only to find no one home as Kathy side steps it. Kathy then gives Corina a clothesline to the mat and then boot chokes her, using the top rope for leverage while the referee threatens to disqualify Kathy. Kathy releases the choke, stands Corina up and whips her into the corner buckle where she gives her a series of shoulder blocks. Kathy then snap mares Corina to the mat and places her in a full Nelson.

Ricky Simms - Kathy is in control here.

Henry Lesher - The fans are leaving in droves. That's good work by the wife of the owner.

The referee checks for a submission, but Corina refuses to give up when asked. Corina uses her feet to stretch towards the ropes while Kathy struggles to hold her still in the middle of the ring. Corina then puts her arms up and drops out of the hold and Kathy gives her a knee to the back on the way down. Kathy then turns her around and gives her a bulldog to the mat before rolling her over for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Corina. Kathy then stands Corina up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor where everyone knew this match would end up. Kathy then climbs the ropes in the corner and waits for Corina to stand before launching herself. She goes for a missile dropkick on Corina, but Corina side steps that and Kathy hits the floor instead. Corina then grabs Kathy by the hair and slams her head into the guard railing. Corina then whips Kathy shoulder first into the steel ring steps and then rolls her into the ring before doing the same herself. Corina then places Kathy's throat over the bottom rope and chokes her with it while the referee tells her not to.

Ricky Simms - Back and forth action here, no clear advantage between them to this point of the match.

Henry Lesher - The competing companies are winning right now. This match sucks.

Corina breaks the choke on Kathy and then stands her up, whips her off the ropes and ducks her head for a backdrop. Kathy instead gives Corina  a knee lift to the face, then a Rock Bottom to the mat. Kathy then stands over Corina and indicates that she is ready to finish this one. Kathy goes to the top rope and quickly climbs to the top and then leaps off, hitting a falling headbutt to the chest on Corina before going for the pin. 1...2...3! Kathy Smith scores the win over Corina.

Ricky Simms - So much for Corina being Shannon's secretary.

Henry Lesher - He'll line another mistress up for that job.

Kathy leaves the ring and heads up the ramp towards the back while we look backstage.

Joe Davidson is seen backstage with CWA Original Samson. Samson tosses his long blond hair back and smiles.

Joe Davidson - I understand you have an announcement to make.

Samson - You see, tag team wrestling is a mostly dead art in this business. I have been a champion on my own a few times now. I have managed to carve out my own hall of fame credentials, but something is missing.

Joe Davidson - Tag titles?

Samson - *suddenly angry* Am I being interviewed or are you? Now, shut up and listen to me when I speak. I am the current wrestling star. The whole world knows that. Still, yeah, I want tag belts. I have found myself a beautiful and talented partner and I would like to call out an old tag team for a face off inside the CWA ring at anytime.

Joe Davidson - And who would that be?

Samson - I swear, Joe, you're making me want to hit you. I am trying to throw my hat into the ring nicely and you keep yapping. You're making this more difficult than it has to be. I am calling out Southern Comfort. You guys ruled the tag ranks not long ago and you were never really challenged. Here is that challenge, set forth by the most talented and most handsome man in the business today. Facing me would be your honor. My partner and I await your response. I suggest responding fast. I would hate to have to come looking for you. That could turn very ugly indeed.

Samson makes his exit and we return to the ring.


"Showstopper" by Tony Max plays as Slim Pickens comes out onto the stage and the crowd gives him a loud ovation. He is carrying a sign that proclaims her is a millionaire. The crowd is fully behind him as he makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then pulls himself onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. He then paces there while his music fades and then we hear "Bad Medicine" by Die Mannequin and the crowd watches the stage for Rose Lemieux. After a few moments, Rose comes out onto the stage clutching her ribs and walking with some difficulty as a result of the end of her match earlier tonight. Rose makes her way down the ramp to ringside and then stops there for a moment and she looks into the ring at Slim.

Ricky Simms - Rose really should not be out here. I understand that last spear Michelle McAllister gave her may have cracked a couple of ribs. She's in no shape to wrestle further tonight.

Henry Lesher - She was in no shape to wrestle before this, Rick.

Slim sees the state that Rose is in and motions to ring announcer Jen Hawkins who tosses Slim her microphone.

Slim Pickens - I am a man who loves being a millionaire! *loud cheers* Still, there is something to be said for dignity. I am not going to let a match happen between myself and Rose when she's clearly not able to wrestle. Rose, we can do this another time when you are ready to...

"Crying Like a Bitch" by Godsmack interrupts Slim and we see Michelle McAllister charge onto the stage with a microphone in hand.

Michelle McAllister - So, Rose has a cracked rib or two? Big deal! I wasn't going to say anything, but I wrestled earlier with a broken arm.

Slim Pickens - Which one?

Michelle McAllister - Shut up! The point is, that million dollars belongs to me! I am the bravest, the strongest and I cannot believe you're letting that Barbie doll get her way tonight.

Slim Pickens - I won the match fair and square. You're the one who had to make a big deal after. You can't just accept a loss.

Michelle McAllister - I can't accept a loss? What else do I do in this company? I have been here for years! I have been here longer than you. I have busted my ass to get to the top and you're the million dollar winner! You have the Rocky Mountain belt and you defend it against Buck, who didn't show up, and the Barbie doll? What bout me?

Slim Pickens - Easy there, Raven.

Michelle McAllister - Yeah, that's a good call since I am about to crucify you.

Michelle throws down her microphone and starts running down the ramp to ringside before slipping into the ring. She and Slim start trading punches while the referee tries to separate them and Rose actually slides into the ring as well. Rose slowly gets to her feet while Michelle and Slim brawl. Rose then superkicks Michelle to the jaw while security rush into the ring to try and break this up. Michelle starts getting to her feet while Slim is held back. Michelle spears Rose through the ropes and out to the floor for a second time tonight. Security tries to stop her, but Wren claws at them to get out of the ring and continue her attack on Rose Lemieux. She kicks Rose in the ribs and then gives her a knee drop to the ribs. She then turns to Slim and tells him this is all his fault. Security finally pulls Michelle away from the injured Rose Lemieux and Michelle continues telling Slim this is all his fault.

Ricky Simms - My God, she tried to end Rose's career there.

Henry Lesher - She didn't have much of a career anyway, Rick.

As Michelle is dragged up the ramp by security, Michelle tells the camera that Frank will see to it that this doesn't stand and that she will be a champion in this company soon. At ringside, the referee checks on Rose and signals that she requires medical attention. Inside the ring, Slim shakes his head and tells a retreating Michelle that this isn't over.

Rated R is seen pacing backstage. He is approached by Joe Davidson.

Joe Davidson - Ryan, tonight is a big night for you.

Rated R - It is a big night for the company, Joseph. You see, I win the right to run this company and then changes are made. People like yourself are fired and I bring in real journalists. I change the look of the ring. I change the roster. This drama with Lethal Attraction is entirely the fault of Shannon Skanes and the world will understand that when I have full control.

Joe Davidson - We saw you pleading with Myst for her hand in marriage this week and she...

Rated R - Do not speak to me about this matter, Joseph. My engagement to Myst is my business.

Joe Davidson - But we saw...

Rated R - What we wanted you to see and what would throw you off the truth. The CWA is going to be my company tonight and will be ruled by Ryan and Myst Yorke. It is destiny.

Joe Davidson - What would you do with Lethal Attraction?

Rated R - I am not concerned with such things right now. I am only focused on finally getting rid of the man who has stood in the way of true success for the CWA his entire time as owner. I'll expose him as the fraud he is tonight. He only cares for himself.

Joe Davidson - Well, you do that too.

Rated R - I admit what I am. The worst kind of monster is the kind who stays camouflaged and pretends to be something it's not. Shannon Skanes will destroy this company if I don't stop him.

Joe Davidson - Coming from the man who has been trying to destroy the CWA for years.

Rated R - I admit it. I explained that to you. Tonight, I expose the truth.

Rated R then exits the shot an we return to the ring.


As we prepare for our next match, First Degree emerges onto the stage with his Vivid-Gore Title belt in one hand and a length of rope in the other. Attached to the rope is Adam Smith whose neck is in a noose and he's out cold. First Degree drops the rope and makes his way down the ramp while the crowd boos him loudly. He makes his way around the ring to the ring announcer and takes the microphone from her.

First Degree - So Lucy and I have decided we are too good for this place. We're ESW property now and we're going to take our title belts with us. The tag belts are already packed up where no one can find them. I have disposed of Adam Smith and now I get to end this Emma bitch's run. I have hated Emma so damned much since her debut. I am tired of her getting attention that my woman deserves as the CWA champ. She and I have bled for this company and received nothing for it.

Ricky Simms - Funny, pretty sure they have two belts each. I must be seeing things.

Having heard this comment, First Degree turns slowly and faces Ricky Simms. He then makes his way to the announce table with a smile on his face. He leans down to Ricky Simms, getting in his face while the announcer shows no signs of being scared.

First Degree - I didn't quite catch that, Rick. You were saying something about me?

Ricky slowly gets to his feet and removes his headset, picking up his microphone and he smiles as well.

Ricky Simms - I can handle the BS coming from Doc here. I can handle it since he hasn't been given everything he ever wanted in this company. You and Lucy seem to think you're entitled to everything you have and then you want us all to kiss your ass for doing your job. I have worked for the CWA for almost thirty years now and I have seen men like you come and go.

First Degree - You've never seen anyone like me.

Ricky Simms - See, you and Lucy want to throw a tantrum because Red Dragon came into this company and gave her an actual fight. You want to throw a tantrum because people like Jack Spade and Emma McIntyre proved they actually belong inside the ring with you.

First Degree - Emma has missed more shows than I ever have.

Ricky Simms - You're still bitching about that? My God.. *turns to the fans* See, this is the whining we hear backstage from him and his spoiled champ girlfriend. This is why their contracts are done here and they're running off to another company or two. This is why those of us who see the big picture in terms of the CWA and not just of ourselves.

First Degree - What the hell do you know, old man?

"Beautiful Monster" by Ne Yo plays as Emma McIntyre comes out onto the stage and the crowd gives her a warm reception. She shakes her head as she makes her way down the ramp and stops at ringside before making eye contact with First Degree. She then marches around the ring and stands face to face with First Degree. Ricky then pulls the Vivid Gore Title from First Degree's grip and clocks him over the head with it while Emma then clotheslines him to the floor. The referee calls for the bell and the match is officially started.

Henry Lesher - Rick, sit down this minute! You can't be a part of a match!

Ricky Simms steps out from behind the broadcast table and starts rolling up his shirt sleeves, removing his tie. Emma puts the boots to First Degree and then gives him an elbow smash to the chest. Ricky starts putting the boots to First Degree, but Emma shoves him away and tells him she wants to win this one herself. She just keeps telling him she doesn't want First Degree to have an excuse for the loss. Ricky takes a few steps back and nods slowly.

Henry Lesher - Oh sure, listen to her and not me.

Emma then stands First Degree up and he thumbs her in the eye before giving her a fireman's carry into a side slam onto the announce table while Ricky sits back down. First Degree then chokes Emma with both hands while daring Ricky to stop him. The fans start a chant for Ricky, but he merely takes the Vivid Gore belt and tosses it to the floor. First Degree releases the choke and punches Ricky in the face, sending him falling backwards to the floor while the fans boo. First Degree then steps up onto the announce table and smiles before setting Emma up for a choke slam. Instead, she shoves First Degree off the table to the floor where he lands on his feet. Emma then takes him down with a diving clothesline to the floor. Emma then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by First Degree.

Henry Lesher - Maybe First Degree can take me with him? This company just keeps getting worse for real talents like myself.

Emma stands First Degree up and whips him over the guard railing into the crowd. She then climbs over the railing and then kicks him in the gut before she then places him in a chokehold. First Degree responds by falling backwards and causing Emma's back to hit the steel railing. This breaks the hold and he turns, grabs her by the throat and then choke slams her to the floor before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Emma. First Degree starts arguing with the referee about the speed of the count and then he steps back over the railing to ringside. He picks up his title belt off the floor and holds it down to Ricky Simms, who is starting to get up. He tells Ricky this is as close to a title as he'll ever get before giving him a shot to the side of the head with the belt. First Degree then starts whipping Ricky across the ribs with the belt while the crowd boos.

Henry Lesher - I am really enjoying this. What a great match!

Emma McIntyre gets to her feet and steps over the guard railing. First Degree continues his assault against Ricky Simms while Emma reaches under the ring and pulls out a fire extinguisher. She calls to First Degree and then sprays him in the face when he turns around. She then clocks First Degree to the head with the weapon before she throws it down and then she grabs the title belt from First Degree. She starts whipping him with the belt while the fans cheer. She then climbs onto the ring apron with the belt still in hand. First Degree slowly gets to his feet and takes a shot to the chest with the belt as Emma jumps at him. He staggers, but does not fall down. He then gives Emma a headbutt and then bites her nose before taking the belt from her. He tells her that's his belt and then he gives her a short arm clothesline to the floor.

Henry Lesher - He is going to leave as champion. This is great.

First Degree then places a foot on Emma's chest with his belt raised high. 1...2... kick out by Emma. First Degree shakes his head and tells the referee that isn't possible. He tells the referee that he is the superior athlete and that this belt is leaving with him. Emma then rolls First Degree into a school boy roll up. 1...2...3! Emma McIntyre has win the Vivid Gore title belt. She rolls away from First Degree while Ricky Simms is seen slowly getting to his feet.

Henry Lesher - This is a miscarriage of justice! First Degree is the rightful champ!

First Degree gets to his feet and promptly clotheslines referee Wendel Carlson to the floor before screaming at him about how he isn't doing his job right. He then starts whipping the referee with a belt that is no longer his. Ricky removes his shirt and we see welts across his back. Ricky picks up the chair he had been sitting on and he clocks First Degree over the head with the chair while Emma grabs her title belt. She starts up the ramp while Ricky returns to the broadcast table and an overworked security team comes out to escort First Degree away from the ring.

Ricky Simms - He caused that.

Henry Lesher - You are here to announce, not to be a hero.

Ricky Simms - The man has taken a lot of shots at this company and at the man who has employed him for nearly a year. I feel justified in what I did. Enjoy missing the CWA, Lethal Attraction. We won't miss you.

Emma rolls into the ring and holds her newly won belt high while the fans start singing "Na na na, goodbye" at First Degree. First Degree tries to fight off the security team, but they pull him up the ramp towards the back. He keeps screaming that this isn't over and that Lethal Attraction will leave Battle of the Warriors as champions.

Ricky Simms - There goes a spoiled man. Next up, his spoiled woman gets put in her place.

Henry Lesher - They are so much better off in another company where they'll be treated right and people use f-bombs cause that makes you cool.

Ricky Simms - Why are you mocking other companies? I thought you hated the CWA.

Henry Lesher - I just hate you, Rick.

Rose Lemieux is seen backstage being evaluated by medical staff when Kaleigh Simms enters the picture.

Kaleigh Simms - You okay?

Rose Lemieux - Not really, three bruised ribs and hurts like hell when I breathe,

Kaleigh Simms - Next week, Samson and his partner will be putting out an open challenge for what appear to be vacant tag belts.

Rose Lemieux - No way I am ready for that in a week.

Kaleigh Simms - Okay, just get better. I'll figure something out.

Kaleigh turns and leaves, causing Rose to scowl.

Rose Lemieux - I love the loyalty she showed there.

Medic - We'd wrap it, but wrapping ribs just causes more problems.

Rose Lemieux - So stop poking at me then, you pervs.

The two medics walk out and leave Rose to her pain. She didn't get a million bucks, a title belt or her hand raised in victory once tonight.

Rose Lemieux - Damn that Michelle Wren bitch to hell.

We then head back to the ring.


"Welcome to the World" by Kevin Rudolph plays as Jack Spade makes his way onto the stage where the crowd gives him a solid ovation. They are already chanting "champ" as he makes his way down the ramp and stops at ringside with a smirk on his face. He tells the camera this really isn't the way he wanted this to go before he pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He tests the ropes while his music fades and then we hear "Your Decision" by Alice In Chains and the crowd starts booing. The camera focuses on the stage, but there is no sign of Lucy coming out. The crowd quickly grows restless and then we see a camera backstage and Lucy Johnson is packing her gym bag with her wrestling gear. She turns and faces the camera and smiles.

Lucy Johnson - This is why I am done with this company. I am the champ and I am not the main event? First, I lose to some idiot at World War Three and then I lose to Emma "No Show" McIntyre, now this. The CWA is circling the drain and I am so done with putting in an effort for booing fans, losing matches and being treated like garbage. You want a punching bag? Go find someone else.

She then places the World Title belt into her bag and Shannon Skanes enters the picture, already dressed himself for his match tonight with Rated R. He shakes his head.

Shannon Skanes - I can't let you walk out champ, Bret.

Lucy Johnson - Who's Bret? Another old company guy to stroke your ego? Admit you wanted to watch me lose to Moose or Vigilante or any of the other fossils you kiss up to.

Shannon Skanes - Fossils?

Shannon motions to someone off screen and Max Cameron walks into the picture. He grabs the CWA Title from Lucy's bag and Shannon grabs her by the ear, pulling her away from her stuff and out of the locker room.

Lucy Johnson - Take your damned hands off me!

Shannon Skanes - You're not going to ruin this event, Lucy.

Once they reach the hallway, we find that First Degree is struggling to stop this, but he's being held back by Sal Clemenzo and Q while security looks on nearby. The crowd cheers at seeing them on screen and Shannon smiles at them.

First Degree - There's no way you're going to screw both of us out of our belts! You're a coward!

Shannon Skanes - Nice work, fossils.

Sal Clemenzo - I can always let him go.

Shannon Skanes - Hey, she called you that, not me.

Max brings the title belt out through the curtain and onto the stage and he holds it high as if it's his. Shannon pulls Lucy out, still holding her by the ear and tells Max that he's carrying the belt and not defending it. They head down the ramp while Lucy continues to thrash and fight against this title defense, the crowd already singing "Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye" to her. Shannon whips Lucy into the ring while Max hands the title belt off to the timekeeper. The crowd cheers as the referee calls for the bell and Jack Spade shakes his head.

Ricky Simms - Lucy's CWA career started off so promising. She went straight to the top, and then the ego took over. She was champ, but that wasn't enough for her and now she's in her last match here. She's in street clothes and clearly not ready for this match tonight. Shannon called in a few old foes to side with him tonight and prevent the destruction of Battle of the Warriors 2011.

Henry Lesher - This event hasn't been destroyed? They might as well stand Lucy in front of a firing squad. This is an ambush. It is exactly what she said it was. Shannon wants his guys in power and real talent like Lucy and First Degree are forced out as a result.

Jack moves in and actually tells Lucy that he doesn't want to win the title like this. She answers by slapping him across the face. Jack steps back and tells her that he's fine with the title being vacated and not winning like this. She responds by giving him the finger and accusing him of being in on this. We see Max Cameron and Shannon Skanes standing at ringside in front of the ramp, looking around for any possible interference. Inside the ring, Jack looks to the fans as if looking for advice and they seem united in him attacking her being the best move. He shakes his head and tells Lucy he doesn't want to win like this. When he tries to help her up, she slaps him across the face and then starts drilling him with forearm smashes to the jaw, backing him into the ropes. Lucy then gives Jack a monkey flip to the middle of the ring and then quickly goes for the pin on a stunned Jack. 1...2... kick out by Jack. Lucy then shouts at Shannon that she's leaving as champion tonight.

Ricky Simms - Lucy is determined to leave Battle of the Warriors as the title holder.

Henry Lesher - Good for her. Screw the establishment, Lucy.

Lucy stands Jack up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges in and gives him a shoulder block. She then goes for a hip toss, but Jack blocks it and then he gives her an atomic drop followed by an inverted neckbreaker that brings her down to the mat. Jack shakes his head as he looks around the ring and he actually goes to the ropes and tells Shannon he doesn't want to win like this. Shannon reminds Jack hat he's under contract. Jack then turns back to Lucy and she's on her feet. Again, Jack explains he doesn't want to win like this. Lucy goes for another slap to the face, but Jack catches her hand and squeezes her wrist. She drops to one knee while Jack pleads with her not to bring the other side of him out. He looks around at the crowd for support, but they are just calling for blood.

Ricky Simms - Jack has gone against the abuse to women side he was showing previously. He doesn't want this to go down like this.

Henry Lesher - Just Bret Hart the girl and get it over with. We all know what's going to happen here. Shannon even has his best friend's brother inside the ring to call the match.

Jack continues to ask Lucy not to do this and states he doesn't want this to go down right now. Lucy tries to hit a low blow on Jack with her free hand and he catches that, too. He then tells her that was unwise and gives her a headbutt before releasing her hands and then kicks her in the chest which sends her down to the mat in a heap. Jack then pulls her to her feet, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a dropkick down to the mat while the crowd cheers. Jack then stands over her and looks out at Shannon. He tells the CWA owner this isn't the way he wants this to happen. Shannon again informs him that he is under contract to the company. Jack stands Lucy up and takes a jawbreaker from Lucy who then headlocks Jack and gives him a bulldog to the mat before rolling him over for a quick pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade.

Ricky Simms - This might be the most bizarre title match I have witnessed.

Henry Lesher - What about Leech beating Kosmic Kitty with her dead cat?

Ricky Simms - That wasn't a title match, Doc.

Lucy stands Jack up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a handspring back elbow to the chin. Lucy then whips Jack to the opposite corner and then she lands a series of knife edge chops to the chest on her challenger. Lucy then sits Jack on the top rope and appears set to bring him back to the mat. She places him in a headscissors and tries to pull him down, but Jack grabs the top rope and holds on. He then pulls himself up, places his hands around the waist of Lucy quickly and brings her down to the mat with a modified power bomb. Lucy's back strikes the mat hard and he hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Lucy.

Ricky Simms - Lucy is fighting to keep her title against all odds I will give her that.

Henry Lesher - This is insane. She deserves every title she gets after leaving this joke of a company.

Jack stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a big boot to the chest that sends her back to the mat. He then turns to Shannon again and tells him just to end this. Shannon shakes his head and Max Cameron shouts at Jack to stop being such a whiner. Nearby fans laugh and Max seems confused by that reaction. Inside the ring, Jack shakes his head while he pulls Lucy up to her feet and then he goes for an atomic drop. Lucy actually does a reverse somersault and lands on her feet behind Jack before shoving him forward and through the ropes to the floor. Lucy then drops and rolls herself out of the ring to the floor. She turns her attention to Shannon and Max and heads around to them. She slaps Max across the face and then tries to do the same to Shannon, but he blocks it and he tells her to do her work for the last time in the CWA. Jack Spade then approaches her from behind and he grabs her by the hair before he then rolls her back into the ring. Jack then turns and gives Shannon and Max Cameron both the finger before he rolls himself into the ring.

Ricky Simms - Jack isn't grateful for the protection here.

Henry Lesher - They aren't protecting him. They are trying to protect the precious event here and that belt. If it shows up in another company next week, Shannon's fragile ego can't take it.

Jack then stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and backdrops her only to have her land on her feet behind him again. She then gives Jack a knee to the back before giving him an inverted DDT to the mat and then she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade and Lucy rolls her eyes. She accuses the referee of a slow count and then turns her attention to Shannon and asks him why he is doing this to the best champion his company has ever had. She screams at the fans she is the rookie of the year and gives them the finger when they boo her. She then turns back to Jack and goes for a knee drop to the head on him only to have him roll out of the way. Jack then uses the ropes to get to his feet while Lucy grabs at her knee. Jack then pulls Lucy to the middle of the ring, gives her a short arm clothesline to the mat and then places her in a figure four leglock. The referee checks for a submission, but Lucy is unwilling to give up. Max starts to climb onto the apron, shouting at the referee to ring the bell. Shannon pulls Max back down and whispers something in his ear which causes Max to settle down.

Ricky Simms - How the hell did those two end up aligning?

Henry Lesher - Maybe the Mayans were wrong and the apocalypse is this year. I would welcome it if I don't have to watch Max wrestle again.

Inside the ring, Lucy reaches out for the ropes and continues to refuse to submit. She then tries to turn the hold over which would reverse the pressure. She reaches for the ropes while having the hold half turned. She manages to grab the bottom rope with her fingertips and that forces the break. Jack releases the hold and quickly gets to his feet. He then stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and then misses a clothesline as she ducks it before giving him a side Russian leg sweep to the mat. She then jumps to her feet and goes for a springboard moonsault onto the downed challenger. Jack brings his knees up into the chest of Lucy and she falls to the mat while Jack gets to his feet. Spade then picks Lucy up and power slams her to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Lucy.

Ricky Simms - I admire her tenacity, her refusal to give up the belt.

Henry Lesher - And yet you support what they're doing to her.

Jack stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a tilt a whirl backbreaker to the mat which he then uses to go for another pin. 1...2... kick out by Lucy and the fans boo. Jack then stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and then goes for a dropkick, but Lucy sidesteps it and then she gives Jack an elbow smash before he has a chance to get back up. Lucy then sits Jack up and places him in a sleeperhold which causes both Shannon and Max to start pacing at ringside. The referee checks for a submission, but Jack refuses to submit and he does not show signs of fading within the hold. He rolls himself towards the ropes and snags the bottom rope with his foot which forces the break. Lucy does release the hold, then pulls Jack to the middle of the ring and goes for a figure four leglock of her own. As she tries to turn the hold, Jack kicks her away with his free foot and then he gets to his feet where he then stands nose to nose with Lucy and they have words.

Ricky Simms - Lost in all of this mess is the fact that these two are great wrestlers in their own right.

Henry Lesher - I will agree with you there. The better of the two is the one who's leaving.

Lucy and Jack start trading punches in the middle of the ring and then Jack ducks a right hook from Lucy before giving her a German suplex to the mat. He stands her up and gives her a second, then stands her up and delivers a third which causes cheers to erupt from the crowd. Jack then stands over Lucy and looks out towards Shannon before shaking his head. Jack picks Lucy up and slams her to the mat and then goes to the corner buckle before climbing to the top rope. Jack looks out to the crowd and then hits the Jack of All Spades onto Lucy where he hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Lucy and the crowd lets out a collective groan. Jack then stands in the corner and turns to say something to Shannon and Max. Max screams at Jack to show some respect to hall of fame talent. Lucy slowly gets to her feet and takes a running and jumping knee, called Lady Luck, from Jack Spade and that sends her back down to the mat where Jack again goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Jack Spade wins and is the new CWA World Champ! The crowd erupts and Shannon is seen pumping his fist at ringside while Max waits in vain for a high five. The owner grabs the title belt from the timekeeper and then rolls himself into the ring with it in hand. He gives the belt to a tired Jack Spade while Lucy starts coming to inside the ring.

Ricky Simms - Jack's your new champ, but he doesn't look happy.

Henry Lesher - Why should he be? The girl was in street clothes and was quitting. She didn't intend to come out here and certainly didn't intend to lose like this before the fans.

Jack Spade looks at the title belt and then at Shannon. Shannon tells him to put the belt on. Jack instead throws the belt to the mat and then heads out of the ring. Max slips into the ring and grabs the title belt. He gets to his feet and puts it over his shoulder. Shannon tells him not to do that while the fans cheer a retreating Jack Spade. Jack tells the camera he can't do it like this before he heads backstage.

First Degree is seen being escorted from the building by security team members, Q and Sal Clemenzo backing them up.

First Degree - Is this how star wrestlers are treated in the CWA?

Sal Clemenzo - I'd answer that, but us fossils don't hear so good.

Q - You're asking the wrong guys. Most of my time here, they were screwing me over. I'm just getting money for this.

First Degree - The true talent in this company won't stand for this, if there's any left in this podunk operation.

Sal Clemenzo - Again, my hearing is just shot.

Q - Maybe not, but it doesn't really matter to you anymore, does it?

They reach the back door to the arena and throw First Degree out into the cold night air. He shakes his head and points a finger at both Sal and Q.

First Degree - The CWA is everything that's wrong with wrestling. It's stale and treats everyone like crap.

Sal Clemenzo - I just figured this out. I can hear you. I just don't care what you're saying.

Q - I care, but not enough to stop any of this. I'm getting ten thousand for this gig.

Sal Clemenzo - I'm only getting five!

Q - I am the bigger star though.

Sal Clemenzo - You have got to be kidding me.

The door closes and Sal and Q walk backstage, debating the money they're being paid for tonight's appearance in a backstage capacity. We then see Neriah Sweet with Max Cameron in another area backstage, Shannon Skanes pacing nearby. Max still has the title belt in his hands.

Neriah Sweet - So we have a controversy coming out of the title match.

Max Cameron - All Jack has to do is take the belt. He is champ. He won the match. That's all we ask.

Neriah Sweet - What about the fact it will be perceived by some he was handed the belt without a fight?

Max Cameron - Lucy was quitting. He was number one contender. Hell, I would take the belt.

Neriah Sweet - You did.

Max Cameron - See? It's not that hard. As a returning CWA legend, I look forward to my automatic title shot.

Shannon Skanes - Wait a second. What are you talking about?

Max Cameron - Lucy said you like giving the belt to long time talent. No one is as long time as me once Ryan's gone.

Shannon Skanes - Are you kidding?

Max Cameron - Look how nice the belt looks on my shoulder. It was made for me, boss.

Shannon Skanes - You have to earn your shot.

Max Cameron - We can discuss this later, after your match with Ryan.

Shannon Skanes - Yes and speaking of that, remember I want you nowhere near the ring for this one. I beat him by myself. No matter what happens, you do not interfere.

Max Cameron - Okay, sure, I can play it that way.

Shannon Skanes - I own the steel cage and Ryan learns that tonight.

Max Cameron - Right, got it boss.

Neriah just gives up on the interview and walks off while we head to the ring for tonight's main event.



The cage is lowered over the ring. The crowd cheers as the lights dim and we hear the opening strains of "Deep" by Nine Inch Nails. CWA owner Shannon Skanes steps out onto the stage and smiles for the fans. He then makes his way down the ramp to ringside and makes his way around the cage, running his fingers down the steel mesh and nodding in approval before he heads inside the door. Ring announcer Jen Hawkins states this is a best three out of five falls match and the crowd cheers. Shannon slips under the bottom rope into the ring and jumps to his feet where he then talks to the referee for the match. Shannon then paces as his music fades and we hear "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out to loud boos from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Years and years of fighting have come down to this confrontation.

Henry Lesher - I have to admit even I'm interested in how this turns out.

Rated R pauses at ringside and looks up at the side of the cage. He scowls, but he does enter through the door and then steps up onto the ring apron. He steps through the ropes into the ring and the referee calls for the bell to officially start the match. Rated R and Shannon glare at one another and stand nose to nose, the crowd waiting for someone to throw the first punch. Rated R whispers something to Shannon and that causes the battle to start, Shannon throwing rights and lefts to the chin on Rated R and backing him into the ropes. Shannon then knees Rated R in the gut and whips him through the ropes and out to ringside. Shannon then drops and rolls himself out to the floor where he starts kicking Rated R in the ribs. Rated R then grabs Shannon's legs and trips him down, face first into the steel mesh side of the cage. Rated R then rolls Shannon into a school boy pin attempt on the floor. 1...2... kick out by Shannon.

Ricky Simms - Ryan was that close to going up one to zero.

Henry Lesher - Shannon's chances of winning this are zero.

Rated R stands Shannon up, then whips him shoulder first into the steel corner post before he applies a sleeper hold on the CWA owner. Shannon fights his way out of this by dropping a shoulder and then running Rated R head first into the steel corner post. Shannon then arm drags Rated R to the floor and then applies a Boston Crab on Ryan while the fans cheer. Rated R reaches out and manages to grab the steel mesh of the cage. He pulls himself up and then reaches back with one hand for the foot of the owner. Shannon releases the move, turns and punts Rated R in the side of the head before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R and Shannon slaps the floor. Shannon then stands Rated R up and rolls him into the ring before he grabs the ring steps. He picks them up and tosses them over the top rope into the ring which draws loud cheers from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Shannon has an impressive record in cage matches.

Henry Lesher - That takes a major hit tonight, when it matters most.

Shannon pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring where he  then grabs Rated R by the hair. Rated R shoulder blocks Shannon, low blows him and then picks him up before body slamming him onto the steel ring steps inside the ring. Rated R then lands a leg drop onto Shannon's throat which is on the steel steps. Rated R then stands over Shannon and smiles while the crowd boos. Rated R then places Shannon in a reverse headlock and then gives him a DDT to the mat and then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out. Rated R shakes his head and tells the referee that the count was too slow. He then picks up the ring steps and hits Shannon in the ribs with them twice before tossing them through the ropes and out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - How did Shannon kick out after the DDT?

Henry Lesher - He didn't. Mark Davis can't count right. You heard Ryan.

Rated R stands Shannon up and whips him into the corner buckle. He then rakes Shannon's eyes along the top rope, dragging him from corner to corner before ramming his head into the turnbuckle. Rated R then picks Shannon up and slams him to the mat and then goes to the ropes. He climbs to the second rope and lands a double axe handle smash to the back on Shannon and then gives him a swinging neckbreaker to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon and Rated R curses at the referee. Rated R then stands Shannon up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor while the crowd starts a chant for the CWA owner. Rated R kicks Shannon in the back, stands him up and whips him into the steel mesh of the cage. Shannon puts his hands up to block the cage and then turns and superkicks Rated R in the chin, sending him down to the floor. Shannon holds onto the cage to stay up and shakes his head before he drops and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon then stands Rated R up and whips him face first into the steel mesh of the cage before turning him around. Rated R then spits in Shannon's face, kicks him in the gut and rams his head into the steel mesh of the cage before scraping his forehead against it. Rated R smiles as Shannon starts to bleed and then Rated R gives Shannon a German suplex to the floor, holding him down for the pin. 1...2... Shannon kicks out.

Ricky Simms - My God, how much can these two take?

Henry Lesher - If Shannon were smart, he'd quit right now. Just quit and go live in Tahiti somewhere.

 Rated R slowly gets to his feet and then he grabs Shannon by the hair to pull him up. Shannon spits blood in the face of Rated R and then gives him a drop toe hold to the floor where he quickly applies an STF on Rated R. The referee checks for a submission, but Rated R refuses to submit. Shannon leans back in the hold and screams at Ryan to give up. Ryan shakes his head and refuses while the crowd cheers. Blood trickles down Shannon's chin and hits the floor while he tries to strengthen his hold on Rated R. Rated R manages to pull himself up from the floor and that weakens the hold. Rated R then grabs the ring apron and Shannon releases the hold. Rated R scrambles under the ring apron. Shannon takes a few moments to catch his breath, lifts the ring apron to pursue Ryan and takes a chair shot to the forehead from a waiting Ryan. Rated R emerges from under the ring, chair in hand and starts laying the headshots on the CWA owner. He tees off on Shannon and Shannon falls backwards to the floor. Rated R then goes for the pin with the chair covering the face of the owner. 1...2...3! Rated R wins the first fall.

Ricky Simms - Rated R wins the first fall here.

Henry Lesher - Shannon's done. Call it a night and give Ryan the keys.

Rated R struggles to pull himself up and then tries for a second pinfall by placing a foot on the throat of the owner. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out to avoid going down two to zero in the falls. Rated R then pulls Shannon to his feet and sets for the Restricted. Shannon instead fights his way free and manages to clothesline Rated R to the floor. Shannon then rolls himself into the ring and rests on the ropes while trying to catch his breath. Rated R gets to his feet on the floor and pulls himself onto the ring apron only to take an eye gouge from Shannon who then clotheslines Rated R off the ring apron and back to the floor. Shannon then struggles to climb the ropes while the crowd cheers him on. Shannon poses on the top rope and goes for s missile dropkick on Rated R. Ryan goes for a dropkick at the same time and they collide in a heap on the floor which leads to "Holy shit" chants from the crowd. Both men lie on the floor while the referee looks on.

Ricky Simms - That's a malfunction at the junction for sure.

Henry Lesher - Ed Whalen, you are not Rick.

Both men struggle to their hands and knees. They start trading punches there. Shannon blocks a punch and then rakes the eyes of Rated R before slamming his head into the steel mesh of the cage. Shannon then gets to his feet only to be tackled back to the floor by Rated R. Rated R then slowly gets to his feet and puts his hand to his forehead, finding that he is now bleeding as well. Rated R then places Shannon in a headlock and goes for a bulldog, but Shannon stops his forward momentum and he sends Rated R shoulder first into the steel corner post instead. Shannon then gives Rated R an inverted DDT to the floor and goes for the pin. 1...2... Rated R rolls a shoulder out and Shannon shakes his head. He looks skyward as if for guidance while he stands Rated R up and slams his head into the ring apron before rolling him under the bottom rope and back into the ring. Shannon then rolls himself in and he places Rated R's throat over the bottom rope, choking him with it while the fans cheer him on.

Ricky Simms - This is just as brutal as we figured it would be and we have only had one fall thus far.

Henry Lesher - And that's why Ryan wins the match and we can end this foolishness. Shannon thinks he can battle this man, but he is wrong. Rated R is simply the better man here.

Shannon maintains the choke while the fans cheer him on. He finally releases it when he sees Rated R appears to be passing out. Shannon then stands Rated R up, sets for and executes a slingshot Perfectplex into a cradle pin attempt. 1...2...3! Shannon wins fall number two and the crowd cheers him on. Shannon then stands Rated R and sets for another finisher on Ryan, but is blocked and Rated R then gives Shannon a vertical suplex to the mat before he rolls himself out to the floor to regroup.

Ricky Simms - Shannon has evened the match with his old finisher.

Henry Lesher - That's a damned sneaky move, too. You slingshot suplex a guy into a cradle pin. Moves like that are executed by cowards.

Shannon rolls himself out to the floor after Rated R and the two start trading punches on the floor. Rated R then knees Shannon in the gut and runs him shoulder first into the steel corner post before giving him a pump handle slam to the floor and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Rated R then stands Shannon up and whips him face first into the side of the steel cage. Shannon bounces off the mesh and answers with a knee to the gut on Rated R before giving him a facebuster to the floor. Shannon then rolls Rated R over for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon then stands up and rolls himself under the bottom rope and back into the ring. He uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet and then backs up to the middle of the ring. Rated R gets to his feet on the floor and pulls himself onto the ring apron where he is greeted with a standing dropkick to the chin from Shannon, sending him back to the floor.

Ricky Simms - These two are just so evenly matched. One fall apiece and neither man is showing any signs of giving up.

Henry Lesher - This feud is beyond personal, beyond belts and when Rated R wins, I'll be beyond happy Rick.

Shannon then goes to the corner buckle and starts climbing the ropes. Rated R gets to his feet and then climbs onto the ring apron. Shannon leaps from the top, gets Rated R in a headscissors and then spins down to the floor, dragging Rated R with him. They both lay on the floor while the fans cheer and applaud their efforts. Shannon then rolls to the cage wall and uses it to start pulling himself to his feet. He then turns to Rated R and Ryan chop blocks Shannon to the floor and then applies an ankle lock submission hold. The referee checks to see if Shannon submits, but the CWA owner shakes his head in refusal and he reaches out for the cage. He pulls himself closer to the cage wall while Rated R tries to strengthen his hold and force the tap out. Shannon grabs the mesh and then turns himself over and kicks Rated R away from him. Rated R's back hits the ring apron as Shannon kips up to his feet. Rated R takes a wild swing at Shannon, but Shannon ducks it and then he starts landing rights and lefts to the chin on Rated R. Shannon then gives Rated R an inverted atomic drop and then a head butt that sends him down to the floor. Shannon then puts the boots to him before reaching under the ring apron and drawing out a kendo stick. The crowd cheers as Shannon beats Rated R across the back with the kendo stick and then uses it to choke him, the referee now asking Ryan if he is willing to submit.

Ricky Simms - The longer this match goes, the more violent it gets.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, there won't be a Leech-Razor picnic in this one.

Shannon releases the choke and starts hitting Rated R across the back with the kendo stick, the camera revealing red welts across the back of the hated villain in this match. Shannon then drops the kendo stick, stands Rated R up and takes a thumb to the eye before Rated R then gives Shannon a bulldog to the floor, rolling him over and trying for a pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Rated R then grabs the kendo stick and smiles before he starts wailing Shannon across the back with it. Rated R then executes a modified camel clutch, using the kendo stick to choke Shannon. The referee checks for a submission, but Shannon refuses to give up even as his face turns bright red. The referee checks on Shannon and seems concerned. He looks towards the timekeeper, but he doesn't call for the bell to award a fall by superior decision yet. He checks the arms of the CWA owner and he manages to keep his hands raised. Shannon then plants his hands on the floor and starts pushing himself up from the floor. Rated R releases the choke and slaps Shannon across the back with the kendo stick hard enough that it breaks in half. Rated R then knees Shannon in the back before ramming his head into the ring apron. He then rolls Shannon into the ring before doing the same himself. He goes for the pin. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out and Ryan spits on him.

Ricky Simms - Ryan doesn't hide his contempt for this man.

Henry Lesher - That's a sign of true respect.

Ricky Simms - How the hell do you figure that?

Rated R then stands Shannon up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block there only to have Shannon side step that before giving Rated R a series of knife edge chops to the chest that back him to the middle of the ring and then he gives Rated R a belly to belly overhead suplex to the mat. Shannon then slowly gets to his feet, wipes sweat and blood from his forehead and then stands Rated R up before whipping him off the ropes and then each man clotheslines the other to the mat. They both lie on the mat while the crowd starts a chant for Shannon. The referee stands by and watches, powerless to even count these men down in this match as there cannot be a double knock out. Shannon rolls onto his stomach and then pushes himself up from the mat. Rated R then kips up to his feet only to be speared back down by Shannon who then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R and Shannon puts his face in his hands, frustrated that didn't achieve a three count.

Ricky Simms - My Lord, these men are really taking punishment in this one.

Henry Lesher - Your surprise seems odd to me since we knew what to expect here. Ryan has always brought out the best in Shannon.

Shannon stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and misses a clothesline as Rated R ducks it and then he goes for an inverted neckbreaker, but Shannon manages to get free and the two men start trading punches again. Rated R eye gouges Shannon. Shannon eye gouges Rated R. They trade forearm smashes that echo throughout the arena. Rated R then gives Shannon a side suplex to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Rated R then stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him back down to the mat. Rated R then gets to his feet and goes to the corner buckle. He climbs to the second rope as Shannon slowly gets to his feet. Rated R dives and takes a double axe handle smash to the stomach from Shannon who then gives Rated R a Rick Bottom to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... Rated R rolls a shoulder out and the fans groan while Shannon hangs his head.

Ricky Simms - I really thought we were looking at a third fall there.

Henry Lesher - Is it too early in 2011 for me to declare this the match of the year?

Shannon stands Rated R up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Shannon then drops and rolls himself out after Rated R. He puts the boots to Rated R while Ryan grabs onto the cage wall and starts pulling himself to his feet. Rated R then turns and knees Shannon in the stomach before ramming his forehead into the steel mesh of the cage. Shannon gives Rated R an upper cut to the chin and then rams his head into the steel mesh of the cage. Shannon then gives Rated R a knee lift to the ribs and then gives him a gutwrench suplex to the floor. Shannon then stands Rated R up and takes aim at the ring steps at ringside. He goes for the whip, but Ryan stops his forward momentum, elbows Shannon in the gut and then picks him up before slamming him onto the ring steps. Rated R then stands on Shannon and screams at him to just give up and stop this tragedy before it gets really ugly. The crowd boos and Ryan tells them to shut up, spitting towards fans at ringside.

Ricky Simms - Well, there goes Ryan being all sweet to the fans again.

Henry Lesher - I'd marry that hunky man if he'd have me, you know.

Rated R jumps to the floor and pulls Shannon off of the ring steps. He then picks Shannon up into a bear hug before running him into the steel mesh, letting go just before Shannon's back strikes the steel. Rated R then sets for a DDT, but Shannon blocks it and then gives Rated R a knee to the gut before giving him a snap suplex to the floor. The crowd chants for Shannon, but they are more cheering the overall match now than they are choosing sides. The referee stands by and checks on both wrestlers while they slowly get to their hands and knees. Shannon and Rated R start trading punches before they have even got to their feet. Rated R thumbs Shannon in the eye and then stands him up and whips him shoulder first into the steel ring post. He then rolls Shannon into the ring before rolling himself in. Rated R quickly applies a face down hammerlock on Shannon. Shannon grabs the bottom rope, but there are no rules and thus no forced break of the hold. Shannon uses his free hand to start pulling himself up while his sore arm is twisted by Rated R. Shannon then turns and knees rated R in the ribs which allows him to pull his arm free. Shannon then rakes the eyes of Rated R along the top rope. He then gives him a side Russian leg sweep to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon then stands rated R up and slams him into the nearest corner buckle before giving him a series of shoulder blocks. He then sets Rated R on the top rope and climbs to set for the superplex. Rated R starts trading punches with Shannon. Shannon then eye gouges Rated R and then lands the superplex on Rated R. The crowd starts another chant for Shannon while both men lie on their backs and catch their breath. Shannon finally rolls over and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R.

Ricky Simms - Shannon is close to going up two to one, but the fight in Ryan won't allow it.

Henry Lesher - It's career against company, Rick. Of course the fight in Ryan won't allow it.

Shannon uses the ropes to slowly get to his feet and then he stands Rated R up, whips him to the opposite turnbuckle and then goes for a shoulder block, but Rated R catches him with a kick to the chin, picks Shannon up and hits the Restricted on Shannon before going for the pin. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out and Rated R argues the speed of the count with the referee. Rated R then pulls Shannon to his feet and then whips him off the ropes before giving him a hip toss back to the mat and then he places him in an abdominal stretch. The referee checks for a submission, but once again it doesn't happen as Shannon refuses to give up when asked. Shannon the raises one hand and tries to find a second or third wind here in order to break free. He shows signs of breaking the hold, so Rated R lets go and headlocks Shannon before he then gives him a vertical suplex to the mat, complete with the hesitation while holding the CWA owner in the air. Rated R then gets to his feet and gives Shannon a knee drop to the forehead before going for the pin. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out. Rated R then stands Shannon up and whips him through the ropes and back out to the floor. Rated R then waits for Shannon to stand and then he lands a suicide dive through the ropes onto Shannon which sends them both crashing to the floor in a heap.

Ricky Simms - That's a risky move for Ryan, a man who usually goes with brutality and savagery over the flashy moves.

Henry Lesher - He will do whatever it takes to not only win, but win decisively and shut these fans up.

Rated R manages to get to his feet first and he kicks Shannon in the side of the head. He then stands Shannon up, rams his head into the ring apron and takes a knee to the gut from Shannon who then runs Rated R face first into the steel mesh of the cage before rolling him up into a small package at ringside. 1...2... kick out and reversal by Rated R. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Both men get to their feet on the floor and the crowd cheers as they again stand nose to nose. They start trading punches and then Rated R dives and spears Shannon into the steel mesh of the cage. Shannon turns this into a headlock and DDTs Rated R to the floor before rolling him over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R and now it's Shannon who is left arguing the speed of the count with the referee.

Ricky Simms - We are stuck at one pin apiece and this just keeps growing more desperate for both men.

Henry Lesher - How long has this been going on? They have to be exhausted.

Shannon stands Rated R up and slams his head into the ring apron before rolling him into the ring. Shannon then rolls himself in before applying a sleeperhold on Rated R. Rated R refuses to submit when asked by the referee and he reaches out for the ropes. Rated R manages to snag the bottom rope and starts pulling himself to his feet. He then elbows Shannon in the ribs to loosen the hold before giving Shannon a snap mare to the mat and then he dropkicks Shannon in the back. Shannon falls to the mat and Rated R goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon Skanes. Rated R then stands Shannon up, whips him into the corner buckle and then whips him to the opposite corner before giving him a running kick to the chest. Rated R then monkey slips Shannon to the middle of the ring and then goes to the ropes. He climbs to the top and poses for the booing fans. He then goes for a flying elbow smash, but Shannon rolls out of the way and Rated R hits the mat instead.

Ricky Simms - Rated R misjudged that one.

Henry Lesher - Doesn't matter since he's still going to win.

Shannon pushes himself up to his feet and then pulls rated R up, sets for and delivers a vertical suplex and then stands Rated R up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a fireman's carry into a side slam to the mat. Shannon then gives him a leg drop to the throat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and misses a clothesline when Rated R side steps it and then he gives Shannon a kick to the back before giving him an inverted neckbreaker that brings him down to the mat. Rated R then picks Shannon up over his shoulder and runs him head first into the corner buckle before giving him a power slam to the mat where he hooks the leg. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Rated R then stands Shannon up, pulls him into a corner buckle and kicks him in the chest there before giving him a double under hook suplex to the mat. Rated R then goes to the ropes and starts to climb. Shannon gets to his feet and Rated R goes for a flying cross body. Shannon catches Rated R in mid-air and spins him to the mat with a power slam before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R and Shannon places his face in his hands again in shock that didn't get the three count.

Ricky Simms - That was so close and mere moments after Rated R almost had his second pinfall victory here.

Henry Lesher - They're going to both just pass out in there.

Shannon stands Rated R up, whips him across the ring into the corner buckle and then charges for a shoulder block only to take a vicious clothesline from Rated R who then places his feet on the ropes for added leverage as the count starts. 1...2...3! Rated R takes a two to one lead and the fans boo as Rated R puts his feet on the ropes and tries for the pin a second time. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out and Rated R swears at the referee. Rated R rolls himself out of the ring to the floor and tells the camera he's the winner before pushing the cameraman down. He then calls the second referee over to open the door to the cage.

Ricky Simms - Ryan says this is over and he's leaving.

Henry Lesher - He's right. He got the three count, but Mark Davis counted too slow that second time.

The referee outside the cage is Steve Blake and he comes over to argue the point that the match isn't over. Rated R shakes his head and argues that he's disappointed in the referee. We then see Wren SilverPhoenix emerge from the crowd and she slams Steve Blake's head into the door of the cage before grabbing the key from him and then opening the door. Rated R steps out to the floor and he declares himself the winner. Shannon rolls himself out to the floor while Mark Davis heads out of the cage to protest Rated R's actions and state that this match is still in progress. Wren goes for a superkick on the referee, but Shannon blocks that and tackles Wren to the floor, sending her falling back into the guard railing. Rated R then puts the boots to Shannon before he's had a chance to get up and the crowd boos.

Ricky Simms - Why the hell is Wren out here? Ryan is trying to hijack this match and the company from Shannon.

Henry Lesher - This has been going on for five years and you're just clueing in now?

Rated R stands Shannon up and whips him into the guard railing before picking him up and dropping him, catching Shannon's throat on the guard railing on the way to the floor in a heap. Rated R then goes for the pin only to have the referee inform him it has to happen inside the cage. Rated R spits on the floor and then grabs the arms of the CWA owner and pulls him back inside the cage, though the door is still open. Rated R goes for the pin on the floor inside the cage. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out. Rated R then stands Shannon up only to take a jawbreaker from Shannon who then whips Rated R head first into the steel door frame and out into the guard railing. Shannon then heads back out of the cage only to be tripped down to the floor by Wren. Wren then headlocks Shannon and starts punching him in the head while the referee tries to restore some order in a match without rules. Wren releases the headlock, and then whips Shannon head first into the steel mesh of the cage before giving him a clothesline to the floor. Wren stands over Shannon as another familiar face appears from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Moose just jumped the railing with a chair in hand! What the hell is going on here? Wren and Moose have no business being out here!

Henry Lesher - It's a match without rules, Rick. This is what Shannon wanted.

Moose actually grabs a microphone from ringside announcer Jen Hawkins.

Moose - Look, I am old school and Shannon has sold this company out for assholes like First Degree, but this match needs to be settled fairly between men. Whether I like what he has done with the CWA or not, this gets settled fairly tonight.

Moose drops the microphone and then clocks Wren across the head with the chair and drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

Henry Lesher -  Get that cheater out of here!

Ricky Simms - I thought there were no rules?

Moose stands Wren up and whips her over the guard railing and into the crowd before he heads into the crowd as well. At ringside, both Rated R and Shannon Skanes get to their feet and start trading punches on the floor. Shannon then whips Rated R through the open door and into the steel corner ring post. Shannon then gives Rated R a clothesline to the back of the neck, sending him face first to the floor before rolling him over and going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R as Bruce Miller makes his way down the ramp to loud cheers from the crowd. He shuts the door and then pulls a lock from his jeans pocket to once again trap Rated R and Shannon inside. He folds his arms across his chest and nods towards Shannon as they make eye contact.

Ricky Simms - Bruce won't be so easy to get that key away from.

Henry Lesher - Sure he will. Someone send Dante or Sal Clemenzo down there. Get NC-17 in there to get the key away from him. Ryan is the rightful winner here tonight! I am going to file a protest!

Shannon stands Rated R up and rolls him into the ring and then rolls himself in as well. He looks to the fans and they are cheering, sensing a momentum shift here. Shannon then stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and then places him in a full Nelson. The referee checks for a submission while we see Moose and Wren brawling in the crowd. Rated R continues to refuse to give up and then raises his arms to drop out of the hold. He drops and Shannon knees him in the back of the head before standing him up, setting the cradle and again giving him a slingshot Perfectplex into a cradle pin. 1...2...3! Shannon gets the pin and evens the total pin count at two each. The crowd cheers wildly as Shannon then stands Rated R up and goes for his finisher again. Rated R blocks it and shoves Shannon away, through the ropes and out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Ryan is reeling and the next pin or submission takes it all!

Henry Lesher - This is all because of Moose. He had to screw Ryan out of his supreme victory tonight.

Rated R then drops and rolls himself out to the floor once again. He looks over at Bruce Miller, spits in his direction and gives him the finger. He tells Bruce that he's going to be fired first when he gets the company tonight. Rated R then runs Shannon's face along the steel mesh and busts him open further before punching him in the throat. Rated R then starts slapping Shannon across the face. Rated R knees Shannon to the side of the head and then stands him  up before pulling him to the ring steps once again. He slams Shannon's face into the ring steps and tells the camera this is finally the beginning of the end for the CWA. He picks Shannon up and Shannon manages to squirm off of Rated R's shoulder, then gives him a side suplex to the floor which leaves both men lying on their backs and trying to catch their breath.

Ricky Simms - I don't know how much these men can have left at this point.

Henry Lesher - There's more sweat on the floor than at a Chinese whorehouse.

Ricky Simms - What the hell does that even mean?

Shannon rolls over and gets to his hands and knees. The crowd starts chanting his name again while we see blood trickling from his forehead and down to the floor. Shannon then uses the ring steps to pull himself to his feet. Rated R uses the steel mesh of the cage to get to his feet and takes a knee to the back from Shannon who then runs Rated R shoulder first into the steel corner post. Shannon then rolls Rated R into the ring before doing the same himself. He looks out to the crowd and signals he wants to end this here. He starts to pull Rated R up and takes a low blow from Ryan who trips Shannon down and then quickly applies a sharpshooter on Shannon. The referee checks for a submission, but Shannon is unwilling to give up and he reaches out for the ropes.

Ricky Simms - Echoes of Stone Cold and Bret Hart here. Can Shannon manage to stay with it and fight his way out of this hold?

Henry Lesher - Austin didn't and he's a far superior wrestler to Shannon Skanes.

Shannon pushes himself up from the apron and pulls himself closer to the ropes and the crowd continues to chant his name. Shannon refuses to submit and reaches back for the feet of Rated R. Ryan tries to maintain the hold, but exhaustion is working against him as Shannon starts to reverse the hold. The crowd cheers as Ryan falls and Shannon locks the hold in. The referee checks for a submission, but Rated R refuses to give up. The crowd then boos as they see Orlock marching down the ramp with a chair in hand. Bruce sees him coming and starts to make his way up the ramp, but Noah Skanes is out and makes the save with a chop block that brings Orlock down to the ramp where Noah and Bruce put the boots to Orlock. Inside the ring, Shannon maintains his hold while Ryan refuses to give up and neither man appears to take any notice to the ruckus going on at the ramp. Noah Skanes motions to the back and Terminator marches down the ramp to help Noah drag Orlock away from the ring. There is a brief chant for Noah as he does this before we then turn our attention back to the ring.

Ricky Simms - So much for Orlock getting involved there.

Henry Lesher - Hey, this is just stupid. Orlock knows Bruce Miller will prevent a fair result and he wanted to remove him from ringside, so the kid and the burnout dragged him off. Where do I file my protest?

Rated R pulls himself closer to the ropes, lunges and grabs the bottom rope. He then starts pulling himself up and through the ropes. Shannon releases the hold before he's pulled through the ropes and then Rated R falls to the floor. Shannon manages to steady himself against the ropes and then takes a few steps back. Rated R gets to his feet and Shannon goes for a baseball slide. Rated R grabs the feet of the CWA owner and airplane spins him before dropping him to the floor. Rated R then knee drops Shannon to the forehead before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Rated R then stands Shannon up, whips him into the steel mesh side of the cage and then goes for a roll up into a school boy. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Rated R then stands Shannon up and then gives him a belly to belly overhead suplex to the floor. Rated R then goes for the pin again. 1...2... another kick out by Shannon Skanes.

Ricky Simms - This is possibly the best match I have ever witnessed. I am pretty sure it's the longest, too.

Henry Lesher - It's been a long match because Ryan is toying with his prey here.

Rated R stands Shannon up and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself into the ring. He then places Shannon in a side headlock. Shannon gets to his feet only to get a side headlock takedown from Rated R. Rated R then releases the headlock and goes for a camel clutch, but Shannon manages to squirm away and then Shannon quickly gets to his feet before he and Ryan start trading punches and kicks again. Shannon then rakes Ryan's eyes along the top rope before punching him in the throat. Rated R answers with a thumb to the eye on Shannon before giving him a short arm clothesline to the mat. Rated R then boot chokes Shannon, using the top rope for added leverage while the crowd boos Rated R. Rated R releases the choke, stands Shannon up and whips him off the ropes before backdropping him to the mat and then giving him an elbow smash to the chest before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon Skanes.

Ricky Simms - I am starting to wonder if we'll see a final winner tonight.

Henry Lesher - It might last into tomorrow, but the winning pin or submission will be captured by Rated R and then the company will be his.

Rated R stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and misses a clothesline when Shannon ducks it before Shannon then goes for a backslide into a pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon then rolls himself out to the floor, lifts the ring apron and pulls out a chair only to find Myst holding onto the legs of it. Shannon looks stunned and asks her why and Myst smiles before drilling Shannon across the head with the chair. Rated R rolls himself out of the ring with a smile on his face and Myst turns and drills him over the head with the chair as well. Both men lie motionless on the floor, the crowd cheering the surprise appearance of Myst who has apparently been under the ring this entire match. Myst throws the chair down and shouts at both Rated R and Shannon to stop calling her. She then goes to the cage door and Bruce Miller opens it for her, letting her out before once again locking the door.

Ricky Simms - That was unexpected. I guess Myst wants no one to win this match.

Henry Lesher - She probably just wants Shannon to leave her be and she hit Ryan by accident.

Myst heads up the ramp to a mixed reaction from the crowd as she seems indifferent to them now that her task has been completed. Inside the cage, the referee checks on both men and determines that the match  has to continue. Mark Davis is still left shaking his head at all of this interference, though. The camera then shows Moose and Wren are fighting behind the fans in the area near the refreshment stands. Security is trying to separate them without any luck. Rated R sits up first and shakes his head, checks for blood and finds it trickling down from his head to his cheek and falling to the floor. Rated R then gets to his feet while Shannon gets up to his hands and knees. Rated R then kicks him in the ribs before giving him a pump handle slam to the floor where he then goes for the pin. 1...2... Shannon rolls a shoulder out in time. Rated R then stands Shannon up and rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself. Rated R then stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him back down to the mat  before he then goes to the ropes. He climbs to the second rope and waits for Shannon to stand before hitting him with a diving shoulder block to the mat and then he again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon.

Ricky Simms - Even chair shots from Myst aren't slowing these two down and haven't caused enough damage to get Rated R a three count.

Henry Lesher - This is simply insane. Shannon should give up and retire. He is well overdue to leave this business.

Rated R stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and then clotheslines him to the mat before he then goes for a springboard moonsault. Shannon brings his knees up in time and Ryan lands on them, likely punishment for executing a risky maneuver he normally wouldn't dream of trying. Shannon then rolls to the ropes and starts pulling himself to his feet. Shannon then pulls Ryan to the ropes and places his throat over the second rope, choking him with it. Shannon then breaks the choke, whips Rated R off the ropes and backdrops him over the top rope and down to the floor. Shannon then climbs the ropes in the corner buckle. Rated R gets to his feet and takes a flying cross body to the floor from Shannon who then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon then stands Rated R up only to take a jawbreaker from Ryan who then slams Shannon's face into the mesh wall of the cage before giving him a side Russian leg sweep to the floor. He goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon Skanes as the crowd cheers.

Ricky Simms - Both men are getting so close to that final pin here.

Henry Lesher - This is clearly Rated R's match to win. No one can make him quit wrestling.

Rated R stands Shannon up, rolls him into the ring and then picks up the chair that Myst hit both of them with. He rolls himself into the ring, chair in hand, and then gets to his feet. He hits Shannon across the back with the chair and then hits him in the ribs with it. Rated R then unfolds the chair and sets it on the mat neat the corner. He then stands Shannon up, pulls him into the corner buckle and then kicks him in the chest five times before setting for a vertical suplex. Shannon blocks that and picks Rated R up before giving him a gourdbuster which causes Rated R's stomach to hit the chair before he falls to the mat grabbing at his abdomen. Shannon then folds the chair and sets it up in the corner buckle. He stands rated R up and goes for the whip into the chair, but Rated R reverses that and sends Shannon shoulder first into the chair before going for a pump handle slam on Shannon which is blocked and then Shannon headbutts Rated R backwards, grabs the chair from the corner and then goes for a headshot which Rated R blocks before kneeing Shannon below the belt and then he gives Shannon a Van Daminator, driving the chair back into his face. Rated R then goes for the pin on the downed CWA owner. 1...2... Shannon kicks out and Rated R shakes his head, stunned that this match is not over.

Ricky Simms - Shannon kicks out after taking a chair shot to the face!

Henry Lesher - Ryan is toying with him, Rick.

 Rated R stands Shannon up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block, but Shannon stumbles out of the way and Rated R's shoulder strikes the corner post instead. Shannon then picks Ryan up and gives him a shoulderbreaker. Shannon then stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him down to the mat. He then picks Rated R up and power slams him to the mat before hooking the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon then stands rated R up, whips him into the corner buckle and goes for a shoulder block. Rated R dodges the shoulder block, but Shannon stops his forward momentum and catches Rated R with a knee to the gut and then a stunner which brings Rated R to the mat where he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R and an excited crowd lets out a collective groan. Shannon then picks Rated R up and drops him face first to the corner buckle before watching him fall to the mat. Shannon then climbs to the second rope in the corner and waits for Rated R to stand. Shannon goes for a double axe handle smash, but Rated R catches him in a bear hug instead as momentum shifts yet again. The referee checks for a submission, but Shannon in unwilling to give up as that would lose him the CWA.

Ricky Simms - I can't see a submission winning the match tonight.

Henry Lesher - Maybe it's morning. Why don't you go outside and look? It has to be past your bedtime at least.

 Shannon pushes himself away from Rated R and lands a knife edge chop to the chest on Rated R and then gives him a headbutt which breaks the hold. Shannon then gives Rated R a series of forearm smashes to the chin before giving him a knee to the gut and then a snap suplex to the mat. Shannon then goes to the ropes and quickly climbs to the top. He goes for a moonsault onto Rated R only to take raised knees to the gut instead from the downed Ryan Yorke. Rated R then uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet. Rated R kicks Shannon in the side of the head and then picks him up and slams him to the mat before giving him a knee drop to the forehead and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Rated R then stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and Shannon ducks a clothesline before giving Rated R a belly to belly suplex to the mat and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R.

Ricky Simms - Every two count has to be setting a new record. I am just amazed.

Henry Lesher - Rated R makes Shannon tough. That's proof he is more a god than man.

Shannon stands Rated R up and whips him over the top rope and out to the floor. He then exits the ring and stands rated R up before slamming his forehead into the mesh of the cage. Shannon then gives Rated R an atomic drop which sends his forehead back into the mesh again. Shannon then gives Rated R a school boy roll up into a pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon then stands Rated R up and blocks a thumb to the eye from Rated R before giving him a clothesline to the floor where he lands a standing somersault onto Rated R before he again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Shannon then stands Rated R up, rolls him into the ring and then follows himself. He then stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and then backdrops him to the mat before he looks out to the crowd. They cheer as he signals that he is ready to finally end this. Shannon stands Rated R up, whips him into a corner buckle and then charges in for a shoulder block. Rated R instead greets him with a kick to the head and then picks him up and gives him a slam to the mat. Rated R then stands Shannon up, sets for and delivers a brainbuster on the CWA owner before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon Skanes.

Ricky Simms - If Ryan had hooked the leg there, this would be over.

Henry Lesher - I don't often agree with you, but I do there Rick.

Rated R stands Shannon up, delivers a series of knees to the gut and then sets for possibly another brainbuster. Shannon blocks the move, then picks Rated R up and plants him with a fisherman's suplex. Shannon then tries to catch his breath before he goes for the pin. 1...2... Rated R rolls a shoulder out. Shannon then stands Rated R up and whips him into the corner buckle again. Shannon moves in quickly with his head up and then gives Rated R a series of punches to the chest before he picks Rated R up and sits him on the top rope, facing out. The crowd cheers as they know what's coming. Shannon faces the ring and tries locking arms with Rated R. Rated R battles free, headlocks Shannon and then gives him a tornado DDT to the mat from the top rope. Rated R lays on his back for a few moments while the crowd starts another chant for Shannon. Rated R slowly lays across Shannon's chest and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon.

Ricky Simms - I can't envision any moves that could end this which these two have not tried.

Henry Lesher - Well, there are still weapons and possibly wrestlers under the ring.

Rated R stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and then shoulder blocks him  down to the mat. Rated R then drives a knee drop into the chest of Shannon Skanes. He then stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop, but Shannon lands on his feet and then gives Rated R an inverted DDT to the mat. Shannon then stands Rated R up, sets for and delivers a Perfectplex into a cradle for the pin attempt. 1...2... Rated R kicks out and then reverses the pin into a small package. 1...2... kick out by Shannon. Both wrestlers then get to their feet and stand nose to nose once again, drawing cheers from the crowd. Rated R and Shannon then start trading punches. Rated R eye gouges Shannon and then gives him a drop toe hold to the mat followed by a cross face chicken wing. The crowd boos as Shannon refuses to submit to Ryan's hold. Shannon reaches out for the ropes and Rated R struggles to maintain the hold. Shannon pushes himself up from the mat and, sensing he is losing control, Rated R releases the hold and then he puts the boots to Shannon. Rated R then stands Shannon up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Rated R then drops and rolls himself out after his opponent. Rated R then misses a punch as Shannon ducks it before he gives Rated R a choke slam to the floor where he goes for the pin. 1...2... Rated R rolls a shoulder out.

Ricky Simms - Dear Lord, a choke slam from Shannon? Has he ever tried a choke slam before?

Henry Lesher - I doubt it with how sloppy that looked. That's why it only got him a two count. Leave the power moves for the big men, boss.

Shannon then stands rated R up and rolls him into the ring before he jumps onto the ring apron and then he leaps to the top rope with surprising agility. Rated R gets to his feet and takes a missile dropkick from the top rope by Shannon. Shannon then rolls himself out of the ring to the floor, raises the ring apron and pulls out a length of chain. He wraps it around his fist, rolls himself back into the ring and then gets to his feet. He punches Rated R in the head with the chain wrapped fist and then he wraps the chain around the throat of Rated R while the referee watches helplessly. The referee checks for a submission, but Rated R refuses to give up even while being choked with a chain. Shannon seems almost insane as the wild eyed owner tries to tighten the chain's choke hold on Rated R. He screams at Rated R to give up and leave the CWA while Ryan appears to be fading. The referee checks on Rated R, looks at his eyes and looks at the chain around the throat of the hall of famer. He looks towards the timekeeper and back towards Rated R. Rated R's eyes flutter and the referee calls for the bell. The crowd erupts with cheers and Shannon refuses to release the choke hold.

Ricky Simms - Okay, Shannon, let him go.

Henry Lesher - There's your hero, Rick, a man who is trying to kill Ryan Yorke.

The cage door opens and Bruce Miller enters the cage and quickly slides into the ring. He tries to pull Shannon off of Rated R, screaming at him that the match is over. Bruce then signals towards the back and Noah Skanes, Arizona, Scavenger and Fixxxer all rush down the ramp to the ring. They rush into the cage and all work to pry Shannon away from Rated R. Once freed from the choke, Rated R slumps to the mat motionless and Scavenger checks him out, screaming that they need medics out here. Bruce stands Shannon up and shoves him into the corner buckle and asks him what the hell has got into him. Shannon drops the chain and glares at Bruce before he exits the ring. The crowd actually boos Shannon as he leaves the cage and he doesn't look like a man who just vanquished his arch nemesis.

Ricky Simms - My God, Shannon snapped there. Ryan never gave up and never submitted. How can his career end like that?

Henry Lesher - That's your hero, Rick. Go ask him.

Medics stream into the ring and the crowd is hushed as the wrestlers inside the ring help place Rated R onto a backboard before he's to be placed on a stretcher. Scavenger shakes his head and talks things over with his brother Fixxxer. We fade to black on a shot of Rated R being placed on a stretcher and takes towards a waiting ambulance that will take him to the hospital.
