The arena is alive with anticipation of tonight's event, a night which will feature some of the greatest talents to ever grace a CWA ring. We then fade to black for a moment as the opening for "Wiener Blut" by Rammstein begins to play. We see images of The Moose, Silas Brueck, Simon, Xandra, Myst, Max Cameron, Pyro, Michael Anthony, Heidi Hawkins, Kathy Smith, Shannon Skanes and Slim Pickens before we head backstage where Ray Dees is with Anthony Lawrence of the Unrated team.

Anthony Lawrence - I am telling you, Ray, this is a mistake.

Anthony tries handing a large brown envelope to Ray only to have it shoved back at him.

Anthony Lawrence - This is what you wanted, images of your favorite girl in the buff.

Rose Lemieux enters the picture behind Anthony and grabs the envelope from him, pulling out photos and her jaw drops.

Anthony Lawrence - I have a really good explanation for this.

Ray Dees - I had nothing to do with those!

Rose then slaps both men across the face before she storms off and we head to the ring.

Myst vs. Rated R

"A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park plays and the crowd cheers wildly as Myst comes out to fight for the first time in a long while. She stands on stage and blows a kiss to her fans and then she makes her way down the ramp to ringside. She tells the fans there to get their cameras ready to watch history. She then pulls herself onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. She tests the ropes and does a few stretches as her music fades and then the lights dim. The crowd is electric as they hear the opening chords of "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and a single firework explodes above the stage to signal the arrival of the supposedly retired Rated R. The lights stay dim and the cameras try to get a view of what is going on. The flashes from cameras don't shed enough light to reveal what is happening either.

Ricky Simms - Now we get to see what Myst had planned for Rated R tonight.

Henry Lesher - She might be the one person who can get Ryan Yorke into a CWA ring again.

The lights slowly come back up and we see a blanket covering one of the corners. Myst screams at the figure under the blanket that it cannot hide from her. She tells the figure under the blanket that now is the time to retire and she should have been the one to end his career. The baffled referee rings the bell with a shrug after it sounds. Myst then tears off the blanket and we see a life sized stand up of Rated R. Myst takes a step back, eyes narrowing and she looks around at the booing crowd. She tells the stand up that he'd better be prepared to by Mystified. She then picks it up and slams it to the mat before she lays across the back of it and then bends the head back so she can apply a partial Mystifier. She tells the referee to ask him. Mark Davis just hangs his head and calls for the bell. Myst then jumps to her feet, her arms raised and then she motions to the ring announcer who throws her a microphone. Myst sounds like she is out of breath.

Myst - I am here tonight to win! This is my first match and I feel great tonight! I am going to emerge tonight as both the Women's champ and as the number one contender once the Sanitarium Match has concluded. My company needed me and I am back. Ryan, if you have anything to say about what we just witnessed here, you know where to find me. Until then, I consider this chapter in my life and my career closed. I have other targets to take down tonight.

Myst then throws the microphone back to Jen Hawkins and then she drops and rolls out of the ring before she heads up the ramp to the back, her hands raised in victory. The crowd has a mixed reaction considering they didn't get the match that they expected.

Henry Lesher - Well, it was still better than Sting against Jeff Hardy.

Ricky Simms - True.

Wyatt Gibson is seen leaving his office when he is headed off by Kathy Smith.

Wyatt Gibson - Well, if it isn't the champ. What do you want?

Kathy Smith - I want to know where the new assistant is.

Wyatt Gibson - I know Sylvia is here. Look, you have enough to deal with tonight. Don't add to it when you don't have to.

Kathy Smith - I watched Corina pull her shit and I am not going through that again.

Wyatt Gibson - Watch the language there, Kathy. I am sure this isn't going to be another situation unless you let it become that. Keep in mind this is Tony Parizi's sister. Shannon has a lot more to worry about here than just his marriage.

Kathy Smith - I have met Sylvia more than once. I know she is recently divorced and she's always been a big fan of my husband.

Wyatt Gibson - Like I said, he has more to worry about than his marriage. Just focus on your match tonight and everything else will work itself out.

Kathy Smith - I have heard that before.

Myst - *as she walks by* I heard that before too.

Myst blows Kathy a kiss and winks at her before heading into her locker room. Kathy shakes her head and walks away. Wyatt turns and finds Vesuvius standing there.

Wyatt Gibson - And what would you like?

Vesuvius - A spot in the Sanitarium.

Wyatt Gibson - You never entered it officially so my official answer is no.

Vesuvius - You'll regret that answer, Gibson.

Wyatt Gibson - Take it up with Shannon then.

Vesuvius - I might just do that.

Vesuvius heads off and Wyatt lets out a long sigh before he just turns and heads back into his office mumbling about not coming out for the rest of the night.

Shannon Skanes & Rose Lemieux vs. Unrated

"Break" by Three Days Grace plays as Anthony Lawrence and Jeremy Todd emerge onto the stage to the boos of the crowd. Anthony has a brown envelope under his arm and he smirks as he makes his way down the ramp, Jeremy close behind and telling the camera that the pictures will make them rich and famous. Anthony stops at ringside and asks a fan how much he'll pay for what's in the envelope. Before the fan can agree on any price, we hear "Deep" by Nine Inch Nails and Shannon Skanes races out from backstage and down the ramp to ringside. He gives Jeremy a clothesline to the floor and then kicks Anthony in the gut before he takes the envelope and rolls into the ring with the pictures in hand. Shannon then pulls a lighter from inside his blue jeans back pocket and lights the envelope. The pictures and envelope burn quickly as Shannon drops Unrated's get rich quick scheme to the mat where the referee stomps the flames out. She tells Shannon to get rid of the lighter and he does so. Jeremy Todd gets to his feet on the floor while his partner rolls himself into the ring. The referee calls for the bell while ignoring Shannon's protests that his partner has not arrived yet. He then takes a thumb to the eye from Jeremy Todd who grins as his team appears to be involved in yet another handicap match until Rose arrives.

Ricky Simms - Well, Shannon is on his own as we await Rose Lemieux.

Henry Lesher - So you're saying he is on his own either way then.

Jeremy whips Shannon off the ropes and gives him a backdrop to the mat. He then stands Shannon up, whips him into his corner and tags Anthony Lawrence into the ring. Anthony steps through the ropes and then he and Jeremy Todd give Shannon a double vertical suplex to the mat. They then stand over him while the crowd boos. Jeremy exits the ring while Anthony stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick back down to the mat. Anthony then pulls Shannon to the middle of the ring and places him in a Boston Crab. The referee checks for a submission, but the CWA owner refuses to give up. He pulls himself up from the mat and then tries to drag himself towards the ropes against the best efforts of Anthony. Shannon claws his way closer to the bottom rope and reaches out. His hand manages to grab the bottom rope and this forces the break. We then finally see Rose Lemieux making her way down the ramp towards the ring.

Ricky Simms - I wonder why she is so late. She doesn't appear to be in a hurry.

Henry Lesher - She likely has no clue that the match has already started.

Shannon gets to his feet after Anthony releases the hold and then Anthony places him in a side headlock. Shannon whips him off the ropes to break the hold and then gives Anthony a lariat that brings him down to the mat. He then turns towards his corner only to be blindsided by Jeremy Todd who clotheslines Shannon to the back of the neck and sends him face first to the mat. Jeremy then puts the boots to him before the referee finally steps in between and she tries to get Jeremy out of the ring. Anthony Lawrence gets to his feet and then he starts trading punches with Shannon. Shannon ducks a right hook and spins Anthony around before giving him an atomic drop. He then whips Anthony head first into the corner buckle. Shannon then turns to his corner and goes to Rose in order to make the tag. She smiles and then drops off the apron to the floor. She gives Shannon the finger and then takes a vicious kick to the back of the head from Anthony Lawrence who then turns Shannon around and gives him a springboard DDT to the mat where he hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Unrated win the match and Anthony jumps to his feet and celebrates with Jeremy Todd as if they won the Super Bowl. The crowd boos while Rose heads up the ramp and laughs to herself.

Ricky Simms - Why would Rose do that?

Henry Lesher - Maybe she's realizing this place sucks. That does happen a lot.

Inside the ring, Unrated continues to celebrate their victory as if it was a sixty minute marathon and they somehow survived. They then tell the camera at ringside that they are going to bring back the tag belts and that they will own them. The crowd continues to boo them as they exit the ring and head up the ramp towards the backstage area.

Ray Dees rushes to meet Rose Lemieux backstage and she shoves him down before he has a chance to ask any questions. She rounds a corner and finds herself face to face with Bruce Miller.

Bruce Miller - Not planning to shove me down, are you?

Rose Lemieux - Get out of my way.

Bruce Miller - That double cross, didn't see that coming.

Rose Lemieux - I am sick of doing what everyone expects of me. I am sick of this company holding me back.

Bruce Miller - So you stab Shannon in the back. That's a good career choice.

Rose Lemieux - What does it matter? I am never going anywhere here, been waiting over two years and I have fought week in and week out just to see the old legends come back and take my spot.

Bruce Miller - Someone's been drinking the same Kool Aid Lucy Johnson did when she was here.

Rose Lemieux - She was right, Bruce! This company caters to the very few and leaves the rest of us twisting in the wind. I am done with it.

Bruce Miller - So now what?

Rose Lemieux - Maybe I quit. Maybe between Ray stalking me, Unrated stalking me and being held down while putting up with all of it, maybe I just quit.

Bruce Miller - Guess you won't be at ringside for Heidi then?

Rose Lemieux - Oh, go to hell.

Rose manages to get passed Bruce and heads out the door into the parking lot while he shakes his head and turns away.

Retro Battle Royale

The crowd cheers as twenty men and women from the CWA's past, both recent and distant, stand inside the ring and await the bell before they start fighting. The bell does sound and the punches start to fly.

Ricky Simms - There is a lot of CWA history inside that ring right now.

Henry Lesher - I love most of these people and want them to come back. It really exposes the current crop for how bad they are. I mean, Rose Lemieux thinks she deserves any of the spotlight at all? Give me a break.

Inside the ring, Ash is holding onto the top rope as Freak, Himself tries to throw him out to the floor. Kosmic Kitty is nearby and trying to dodge punches from Wren SilverPhoenix. Wren then grabs Kitty by the hair and tries to whip her over the top, but Kitty grabs the middle rope and kicks Wren in the ribs instead. Trey Walker is tossed over the top rope to the floor by Gerard Angelo. Gerard then takes a clothesline to the mat from Giovanni Mabius. In another corner, Q has both Boomshakalaka and Rod Gordon trying to throw him out. He lands a double axe handle smash to the back on Boom and then knees Rod in the gut to get himself out of the corner. Lone Wolf takes a charge at Q, but the big man ducks that and backdrops Lone Wolf right over the top rope to the floor.

Ricky Simms - We didn't get to know Lone Wolf or Trey Walker well during their first runs here and this is much the same.

Henry Lesher - Doesn't Walker have a DVD out about his conversation with Matt Hardy or something?

Ricky Simms - Wrong Walker, Doc.

Boom and Rod target Aftershock in the middle of the ring, seeing that Q isn't likely to go out by their command. Aftershock gives both men knife edge chops to the chest and then rams their heads together. Aftershock then finds himself face to face with Sal Clemenzo and they start trading punches for the first time in over seven years which delights the crowd. Ash manages to free himself from Freak's grip, eye gouges him and then hip tosses Freak over the ropes only to have him land on the ring apron. Freak then jumps back through the ropes into the ring only to take a spear from Eli Ryder. Ryder then gets to his feet and starts fighting Ash. Giovanni Mabius kicks Leech in the chest and Leech answers by grabbing Mabius by the hair and whipping him over the top rope and out to the floor. Leech then gives him the finger which draws cheers from a surprisingly pro-Leech crowd. Leech then finds himself in a hand to hand battle with Parker Davis. Davis gives Leech a series of punches that back him into a corner. Boom charges at that corner and Parker ducks him and tosses him right over the top rope and out to the floor. Rod Gordon is seen shaking his head at that display.

Ricky Simms - That is Boom all right.

Henry Lesher - Well, the right guys are going out early here. Whoever wins this should replace Slim in that farce of a title match.

Gerard Angelo finds himself face to face with Ash for the first time in a long while. They have a few words and then start trading punches. Chance Boudreaux is then seen trying to toss Q over the top rope. Q stops his momentum and then rakes Chance's eyes along the top rope. Aftershock knees Sal Clemenzo in the gut and tries to whip him over the top rope. Sal stops that and headbutts Aftershock down to the mat. Parker whips Leech at Sal and Aftershock, causing a collision between the three men. Parker then raises his arms and says he is the best. Leech dropkicks Parker in the back, sending him tumbling over the top rope and down to the floor. Leech then puts the boots to Aftershock, stands him up and whips him over the top rope and out to the floor, some in the crowd starting a chant for the usually reviled former 420 Flock leader.

Ricky Simms - Leech looks good for someone who hasn't been in the ring for a long time.

Henry Lesher - He always looks good. The man made Kathy Smith interesting. He can do no wrong!

Leech stands Sal up only to take a jawbreaker from Sal. Kosmic Kitty whips Wren off the ropes and Wren shoulder blocks Kitty to the mat. In one corner, Dante and Razorblade are keeping each other company with a lock up and a series of punches followed by Razor placing Dante in a full Nelson. Freak, Himself moves in and kicks Dante in the ribs before he and Razor then try to whip Dante over the top rope. Dante manages to grab the top rope and holds on. Eli Ryder then crashes in and clotheslines both Razor and Freak down to the mat. Dante then pulls himself back into the ring. Rod Gordon and Gerard Angelo start trading knife edge chops. Gerard then knees Rod in the gut before whipping him over the top rope and out to the floor. Gerard raises his arms and tells Rod that is how a hall of fame talent does things. He then gets tossed over the top rope with a hip toss from Sal Clemenzo.

Ricky Simms - Gerry dropped his guard and Sal tossed him from the ring.

Henry Lesher - This is actually a pretty good match. It is a shame they can't all by like this.

Leech then kicks Sal in the back, turns him around and gives him a bulldog to the mat. Kosmic Kitty holds on for dear life in the corner while Dante is now trying to throw her out to the floor. Ash then makes his way to that corner and gives Dante a shove into the corner buckle and into Kitty as well. Ash then gives Dante a belly to belly suplex to the mat. He then stands Dante up and whips him off the ropes. Dante ducks a clothesline and then arm drags Ash right over the top rope and onto the apron. Ash has some unkind words for Dante from there, but someone pulls Ash down off the apron to the floor and the referee signals that he has been eliminated. The man who pulled Ash down was no other than Vigilante posing as a cameraman. Vigilante then wastes no time in clocking Ash with the camera he had been holding.

Ricky Simms - I had wondered where Vigilante was. He tends to show up for events like this.

Henry Lesher - He just wanted to make sure Ash didn't win. That makes sense given their history.

Dante watches this unfold on the floor which allows Leech to toss Dante over the top rope and out to the floor. Leech then finds himself face to face with Freak. Bombshell steps out of her corner and she is confronted by Wren. Wren slaps Bombshell across the face. From the floor, Gerard Angelo has a few words for Wren. He is then clotheslined on the floor by 6Pac Dudley. Security now rushes down to ringside to try and get Vigilante and 6Pac away from the action. Inside the ring, Sal Clemenzo is trading punches with Q. Q tries to whip Sal over the top rope, but Sal stops that and then he manages to lift Q up and over the top rope where he crashes right into the security team on the floor. Eli Ryder then grabs Sal from behind and gives him a German suplex to the mat. Eli then stands Sal up, whips him off the ropes and both men clothesline each other to the mat.

Ricky Simms - We are down to nine wrestlers in this one.

Henry Lesher - Well, some stupid eliminations here. I guess that's to be expected. Q and Dante deserved better fates.

Leech kicks Bombshell in the ribs and then rams her and Wren's heads together. He tosses Bombshell over the top rope and she manages to land on the ring apron. Leech then dropkicks her to send her down to the floor. This leaves an opening for Chance Boudreaux who puts the boots to Leech before he can get up. Chance then stands Leech up, takes a thumb to the eye from Leech and he then gives Chance a hip toss over the top rope and down to the floor. The groundswell of support for Leech continues to grow as he then starts putting the boots to Eli Ryder. Leech then stands Eli up and whips him into the corner buckle before going for a clothesline which Eli ducks. He then tries to whip Leech over the top rope, but Leech holds onto the top rope and manages to stay inside the ring. Freak, Himself then charges and clotheslines Eli out over the top rope and down to the floor. He is then dumped over the top rope to the floor by a recovered Sal Clemenzo who then starts trading punches with Leech.

Ricky Simms - This has quickly become a war of attrition, one Leech appears to be winning.

Henry Lesher - He is always winning. It just took the fans seven years to catch on.

Kosmic Kitty is again locked up with Wren. Wren eye gouges Kitty and then whips her off the ropes before she ducks her head for a backdrop. Kitty instead kicks Wren in the face and then gives her a dropkick that sends Wren to the ropes. Kitty then gets to her feet and Wren grabs her and tries to toss her over the top. Kitty gets a handful of Wren's hair and both ladies topple over the top and out to the floor. The crowd boos the elimination of Kosmic Kitty and she looks sad as she gets to her feet on the floor and realizes that she has been eliminated. Wren is incensed and she grabs a nearby security team member and starts ramming his head into the guard railing.

Ricky Simms - Wren is unhappy and we are down to Sal Clemenzo, Leech and Razorblade in this one.

Henry Lesher - I could not be happier.

Leech takes a clothesline from Sal. Sal then boot chokes Leech while Razorblade is seen watching from the corner. Razor steps out and calls to Sal. Sal turns and takes a roundhouse kick from Razor. Razor then stands Sal up and whips him off the ropes before giving him a backdrop to the mat. Leech then gets to his feet and stands face to face with Razor. The two say a few words and this gives Sal a chance to get back to his feet. Sal then takes a superkick from both Leech and Razor that sends him over the top rope and out to the floor. The two men then say a few words and they shake hands which draws cheers from the crowd. Leech then makes a motion towards the ropes. He and razor then tumble over the ropes in unison, but Leech lands on the ring apron while Razor actually hits the floor. The bell sounds and Leech has his arms raised in victory.

Ricky Simms - Leech looked like he made a deal with Razor to split the twenty-five grand that was on the line for the winner and then went back on the deal.

Henry Lesher - That's his own fault then. Trusting Leech is a sign you're going to lose.

The fans start a chant for Leech and he has a microphone handed to him by Jen Hawkins.

Leech - So, you people want to see me back in the CWA? I will tell you this. I won this match tonight for some IRS debt I have accumulated. The money I made tonight will help and I have zero interest in working with the people this company employs on any kind of regular basis. As far as I am concerned, the CWA can go to hell.

He heads out of the ring and up the ramp, the crowd's cheers now turned to boos. he smirks as if that was his plan all along.

Moose is seen sitting at his stall, a towel around his neck. Slim Pickens enters the shot, the CWA Title over his shoulder. This causes Moose to stand.

Slim Pickens - I didn't come here for trouble. I came here to talk.

The Moose - Talking is over, Slim. Tonight is about what happens inside that ring.

Slim Pickens - And at the end of the night, I think it might be a good time to call it quits.

The Moose - Why?

Slim Pickens - I just watched those veteran guys in that ring. I am older than most of them and they have moved on. I don't want to wrestle beyond my best before date.

The Moose - Look, don't overthink this. Just come out for our match and I'll take my title belt back.

Slim Pickens - I didn't say I was going to roll over, Moose. I said I figure now is a good time to get out.

The Moose - You're not taking the title with you, Slim. That's mine tonight.

Slim Pickens - You sound awfully cocky there, peckerwood.

The Moose - You'll see why tonight, Slim. That belt is mine as soon as that bell rings.

Slim shakes his head and exits as we then return to the ring.

Kathy Smith's Gauntlet Challenge

"Gold Dust Woman" by Hole plays as Kathy Smith makes her way to the ring. The crowd gives her a solid ovation as she holds her title belt high above her head. She then hands it off to the timekeeper and then she rolls herself under the bottom rope into the ring. She then jumps to her feet as her music fades and then we hear "I'm a Bad Man" by Chamillionaire and Michael Anthony walks Sarah Anthony out onto the stage. The crowd boos the new power couple of the CWA. As they make their way down the ramp, it is announced that this first match will be a submission match. Michael applauds that announcement while Sarah looks nervous in regards to her in ring debut tonight. She stops at ringside and Michael tells her what she is to do out here right now. He isn't very nice about it either before he orders her into the ring. He tells her that everything is riding on this match as she steps through the ropes into the ring and the bell sounds to start the match.

Ricky Simms - Kathy has brought interest to her title tonight.

Henry Lesher - If you say so. This is a valet getting a title shot.

Sarah moves in to lock up with Kathy and Kathy pushes off and then immediately locks in a reverse chinlock and the referee is asking Sarah whether or not she wants to submit. Michael can be heard screaming at Sarah to fight back from ringside. A "Shut up Michael" chant has already started in the crowd. Sarah reaches back and gives Kathy a snap mare to the mat which allows her to break free of Kathy's hold and then Sarah locks in an abdominal stretch on the defending champ. The referee now is asking Kathy if she submits and Michael's now applauding and saying Sarah is doing as she has been taught. Kathy manages a hip toss to break the hold before it has been completely applied. Kathy then whips Sarah off the ropes and gives her a shoulder block down to the mat before giving her a knee drop to the forehead. Kathy then pulls Sarah to the middle of the ring and she applies a figure four. The referee again checks for a submission as Sarah screams and reaches out for the ropes which are too far away. Michael jumps up onto the apron and screams at the referee.

Ricky Simms - Well, you would think this was Michael's title shot.

Henry Lesher - Well, he does have to lead this airhead around by the nose. I feel for the guy.

Michael argues with the referee and we see Sarah tapping out. The fans boo as Michael refuses to drop off of the apron and he actually grabs Casey Braun's shirt to continue arguing with her. Casey pulls away and threatens to disqualify Sarah. Michael drops off the apron and shouts something rude towards the fans at ringside. Sarah manages to pull herself closer to the ropes and then grabs the middle rope to force the break. Casey pulls Kathy away from Sarah, but Kathy protests that Sarah already tapped out. The fans are upset as Kathy argues and Michael applauds from ringside while shouting at Sarah. Sarah slowly gets to her feet and then spears an approaching Kathy Smith to the mat. Sarah then tries to quickly place Kathy into a Boston Crab. Instead, Kathy reverses it and Sarah is on the bottom and in extreme pain while the fans cheer.

Ricky Simms - Sarah just can't match Kathy in this one.

Henry Lesher - I really feel for Michael and the crap he has to work with in this one.

Michael paces at ringside and then jumps onto the apron again. The referee again goes to get him down and we see Sarah is tapping out. Michael screams at Casey Braun to keep her attention. Casey starts to turn around and Michael grabs her shirt again. Casey then calls for the bell and announces she is disqualifying Sarah Anthony. Michael steps through the ropes into the ring and then gives Casey a DDT to the mat while the fans boo him loudly. He stands over Casey and then tells the fans that this is their fault. Kathy Smith gets to her feet and she goes to Michael and dropkicks him in the chest, sending him through the ropes and out to the floor. Michael gets to his feet on the floor and tells Kathy she just made a big mistake. Sarah rolls herself out to the floor and Michael takes her by the arm and almost drags her up the ramp while she appears to be in pain.

Ricky Simms - Michael won't win husband of the year anytime soon.

Henry Lesher - He has control of the women. I kind of like it, Rick.

Kathy then catches her breath inside the ring and we hear "Showstopper" by Toby Mac as Kelli Pickens is walked down the ramp by Slim Pickens. He seems to be a little more proud and less loud than Michael Anthony was. He stops at ringside with her and gives her a few pointers while it is announced that this fall in the gauntlet will be a tables match. The crowd cheers that announcement and referee Steve Miller is seen slipping under the bottom rope to take Casey's place in this match. Miller calls for the bell once Kelli is inside the ring and Kathy moves in and the two lock up.

Ricky Simms - This is a battle for Kathy and the challengers won't get any easier. This fall will be determined by which lady puts the other through a table. It can be inside or outside the ring.

Henry Lesher - Lady? I don't see any ladies here Rick. I only see cattle.

Kathy gets shoved to the ropes by Kelli and then Kelli kicks Kathy in the ribs, sending her falling through the ropes and out to the floor. Kelli then heads out of the ring as well and stands Kathy up. She then whips the defending champ shoulder first into the steel guard railing. Kelli then reaches under the ring and pulls out the first table we have seen brought into the match. Kelli sets it up at ringside and then signals to the crowd that she is going to end this one fast. Kathy shows she has other plans as she spears Kelli to the floor and then delivers a series of forearm smashes to the side of the head.

Ricky Simms - Kathy is showing a lot of moxie in this one tonight.

Henry Lesher - Thank God these women are keeping their clothes on tonight. Maybe I won't need to salt my eyes in this one.

Kathy stands Kelli up and then slams her head into the ring steps. Kathy then picks Kelli up and tries for a power bomb through the tables, but Kelli catches her in a head scissors and taken her down to the floor, knocking the table over without breaking it. Kelli and Kathy are both down as the referee checks on them and Slim can be heard nearby giving advice to Kelli. Kelli starts to get to her feet and then tries to stand the table up, but one of the legs has been dislocated and the table won't stand properly. Kelli then reaches under the ring apron and pulls out a second table. She slides that under the bottom rope into the ring and then turns her attention back to Kathy. She kicks Kathy in the ribs and then rams her head into the steel ring steps. She then rolls her into the ring before doing the same herself. Kelli then boot chokes Kathy while using the top rope for added leverage while the fans appear to be torn on which woman they are cheering for at this point. Kelli releases the choke and then starts to set up the second table.

Ricky Simms - Kelli is doing well considering the amount of time off she has had.

Henry Lesher - Well and Kathy is not used to having to wrestle real matches. I don't like Kelli, but she is no fluff princess.

The table is set up and Kelli ensures it is sturdy enough for her liking. She then pulls Kathy into the corner nearest to the table. She gives Kathy a series of punches to the head. Kathy answers with a shoulder block in the corner on Kelli and then Kelli knees Kathy in the gut. Kelli then stands Kathy up and then gives her a headbutt before sitting her on the top rope. Kelli then climbs to the top rope and shouts towards the cheering fans. She sets for a superplex and Kathy blocks it. Kathy then gives Kelli punches to the gut while Slim shouts to Kelli from ringside. Kathy then picks Kelli up and gives her a gourdbuster to the mat, sending her through the table on the way down and causing the referee to call for the bell while Kelli and kathy are both left motionless inside the ring.

Ricky Simms - That was excellent. Honestly, the ladies are impressing the fans tonight.

Henry Lesher - Well, these are fans used to seeing people like Pyro and Max Cameron so the bar has been set pretty low, Rick.

Slim enters the ring to check on Kelli Pickens and tries to convey the message to her that he is proud of her. He helps her out of the ring while ringside fans applaud her efforts. Kathy is still on her back inside the ring when we hear "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park and the crowd cheers as Myst comes out for a second time tonight. She passes Slim and Kelli on the ramp and they have words with one another. Myst tells Slim she is going to show his family how a champion does things. She then marches to the ring while Slim pauses and appears to consider attacking Myst. Instead, he continues to help his woman to the backstage area. Myst slips under the bottom rope into the ring as it is announced that this fall will be a stretcher match. The first woman to place the other on a stretcher and reach the stage area wins. The crowd cheers this announcement while Myst just nods and the referee rings the bell with Kathy still on her back in the middle of the ring.

Ricky Simms - Kathy is exhausted right now. Myst might be able to just throw her on the stretcher and get her easiest win ever against a live person.

Henry Lesher - This is true. Kathy's never had a problem laying down for Myst before, so why start now?

Myst goes to Kathy and grabs her by the hair to pull her up to her feet. She then whips Kathy through the ropes and out to the floor. Myst drops and rolls herself out as well and then she grabs a stretcher they have brought down to ringside. She tells the EMTs that brought the stretcher down to get out of her way. She then grabs Kathy by the hair again and starts to set her on the stretcher. Kathy answers with a knee to the gut on Myst and then gives her a headbutt before running her into the steel corner post, slamming her back against the unforgiving metal. The crowd is again torn on who to cheer for in this one, though they appear to be favoring Myst. Kathy manages to pick Kathy up and then slams her down to the floor. Kathy then gives Myst a leg drop to the chest as she tries to hold onto her title belt. We then see Michael Anthony making his way back onto the stage.

Ricky Simms - What the hell is Michael doing back out here?

Henry Lesher - Maybe he's ready to tuck it back and win the belt himself?

Ricky Simms - Dear Lord, I certainly hope not.

As Michael lurks on stage, Kathy stands Myst up and gives her a knife edge chop to the chest and then sets her on the stretcher. Kathy starts to pull the stretcher up the ramp while keeping one hand on Myst's throat. Michael shouts from the stage and the referee shouts at Michael that he had better leave. Michael doesn't budge, but Myst manages to roll herself off of the stretcher half way up the ramp. The referee then pulls the stretcher back to the starting point at ringside. Kathy puts the boots to Myst and Myst rolls herself off the ramp and down to the concrete floor alongside it. Kathy jumps down and Myst does a kip up to her feet and then lands a superkick to the chin on Kathy that sends her down to the floor. Michael applauds Myst and she tells him to shut up, drawing cheers from the crowd. Myst pulls Kathy by the hair back to ringside where the stretcher is. She picks Kathy up and slams her onto the stretcher and then gives her an eye gou7ge for good measure. Myst then starts to push the stretcher as fast as she can towards the stage area and Michael Anthony. Kathy rolls off of the stretcher mere moments before the match would have ended, but Myst keeps pushing the stretcher catches Michael in the gut, causing him to double over. Myst then tells him to get the hell away from her match.

Ricky Simms - It appears neither woman wants him out here right now.

Henry Lesher - He hasn't done anything to warrant such an attack. I think Myst is overreacting.

Myst turns her attention back to a retreating Kathy while the EMT team returns the stretcher to ringside again. Kathy crawls to ringside and Myst pulls her to her feet by the hair. Kathy then gives Myst a knee to the gut before giving her a power bomb to the floor which catches the fans off guard. Kathy falls backwards and actually trips into the stretcher and leans her back against it while trying to catch her breath. Myst stirs on the floor. Kathy gets to her feet and then puts the boots to Myst. Myst fights through that, pulling the feet out from under Kathy. She then slams Kathy's head into the floor before she then gets to her feet and stands over the defending champion. Myst then sets Kathy on the stretcher and then starts pushing it up the ramp as quickly as she can while holding onto Kathy's legs with one hand and pushing with the other. Kathy struggles to roll off of the stretcher, but Myst crosses the finish line and the bell sounds. It is announced that Myst is the new champ.

Ricky Simms - Myst is the new Women's champion of the CWA!

Henry Lesher - This is actually good. She is an actual wrestler. Maybe there is hope for this company after all.

Michael Anthony now storms back onto the stage and goes for a sneak attack on Myst, but he is speared to the stage by a charging Simon. The crowd cheers as Simon stands over Michael Anthony and tells him to pick on someone his own size. Michael lays on the stage while the crowd starts a chant for Simon. Myst looks at Simon with a raised eyebrow and says nothing as she takes her newly won title belt and heads backstage.

We see Xtasy entering the building and looking frantic. Her checks his watch and heads for a locker room only to be headed off by Neriah Sweet.

Neriah Sweet - Xtasy, what brings you here?

Xtasy - I have a battle royal match tonight!

Neriah Sweet - But that's already been fought and it's over.

Xtasy - No, that can't be. I have been a recognizable face for this company in so many ways.

Neriah Sweet - Well, there were a lot of commercials, but the match is over. I don't know what else to tell you.

Frank Merritt walks into the picture.

Frank Merritt - Tell him to fuck off. Nah, I'll do it. Fuck off, X.

Xtasy hugs Frank.

Xtasy - Thank you for that. I have missed that.

Frank pulls away from Xtasy and mutters something about not being gay as he leaves the frame quickly.

Neriah Sweet - So what now that you've missed your chance?

Xtasy - I guess I can do this. I lay out an open challenge to Rated R...

Neriah sweet - He's retired.

Xtasy - To Heath Newton.

Neriah Sweet - He's dead.

Xtasy - To Scavenger's chair.

Neriah sweet - It's melted.

Xtasy - To.... I could fight.... I guess....

Frank Merritt - *from off camera* Or you can fuck off X!

Xtasy hangs his head and heads right back out the door into the cold Vancouver summer night.

Slim Pickens vs. The Moose

Frank Merritt makes his way down the ramp towards the ring to the cheers of the crowd. He tells one fan at ringside that if there was any justice, he would be the referee for the Sanitarium tonight. He then makes his way up the ring steps before stepping through the ropes into the ring. He paces inside the ring and waits for the actual participants in this match as if he expects to fight as well. We then hear "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits and the crowd cheers for Moose, the challenger for the title tonight. Moose makes his way down the ramp and is seen taking a few deep breaths at ringside before pulling himself onto the ring apron and then stepping through the ropes into the ring. He then has a few words with Frank and it appears Frank is telling him how lucky he is that he's only refereeing the match. Moose's music fades and then we hear "Showstopper" by Toby Mac and Slim Pickens is walked onto the stage by Kelli Pickens. They stand arm in arm and she has the CWA Title belt draped over her shoulder. They make their way down the ramp to ringside and then Slim gives Kelli a kiss on the cheek before pulling himself onto the ring apron. He and Moose argue while Slim is still on the apron and Frank shouts at Slim to get in the ring.

Ricky Simms - It is quite the dynamic Frank is bringing to this match tonight.

Henry Lesher - Well, he did see Xtasy backstage and we know how much he hates seeing that guy. This is a bad time for these guys to get him to call their match, but it works out really well for Merritt fans like me.

Slim finally steps into the ring and Frank does call for the bell to start the match. Moose then moves in and locks up with Slim. Moose powers Slim backwards into the corner and then gives him a series of knee lifts to the ribs followed by a gutwrench suplex to the middle of the ring. Moose then sits Slim up and places him in a sleeperhold. Slim answers with an eye gouge on Moose and then snap mares him to the mat before placing Moose in a grapevine submission hold. Slim shakes his head and says this is his match and he goes out on his terms.

Ricky Simms - So rumor has it that this will be Slim's last match in the CWA tonight.

Henry Lesher - I wish I could believe that to be true. I saw that mouthbreather Dark Shadow in the back before the show, so does he swap out for Slim then? I mean, he might actually be a downgrade from Slim.

Moose gets to his feet and shows signs of powering out of Slim's hold, so Slim does release it and then delivers a bulldog to the mat on Moose before rolling him over for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Slim then stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and then backdrops him to the mat. Slim then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. Moose gets to his feet and takes a flying dropkick to the chest from Slim that sends him back down to the mat where Slim again tries for the pin. 1...2... kick out again by Moose. Slim pulls Moose back to his feet and then gives him a vertical suplex to the mat. Slim then sets for and delivers a second vertical suplex and then pulls Moose up to try for a third. Moose blocks the attempted third vertical suplex and reverses it to deliver one of his own. Moose then stands Slim up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a clothesline to the mat followed by a knee drop to the forehead. Moose then sits Slim up and locks in a sleeperhold for the second time in this match.

Ricky Simms - Moose is trying to wear down the champion here.

Henry Lesher - Well, he is against Slim. He gets tired out thinking about exercise.

The referee checks for a submission, but Slim continues to fight, his arms raised. Slim then turns himself and uses his right foot to snag the bottom rope and that forces the break. Slim then rolls himself out of the ring to regroup and Kelli is there with him immediately. He waves her off and signals that he is fine. Moose slips out of the ring to join him and then the two start trading punches on the floor. Instead of counting the two men out, Frank just leans on the top rope and watches them fight. Slim manages to give Moose a series of knife edge chops that back him into the guard railing. Moose then ducks his head and gives Slim a backdrop right over the railing and into the aisle between the fans. Slim gets to his feet and Moose reaches over, grabbing his hair and slamming his face into the guard railing.

Ricky Simms - It would appear frank is going to let these guys just fight it out.

Henry Lesher - Well, why wouldn't he?

Slim slowly gets to his feet and Moose snap mares him over the railing and back to the ringside area. Moose then pulls Slim towards the announce table and then slams his head into it. Moose then picks Slim up and slams him down onto the announce table which delights the nearby fans. Moose then climbs onto the ring apron and then goes to the corner nearest to the table and makes his way to the top. He dives off and misses a flying elbow smash as Slim rolls himself off the table in time to avoid the move. Moose goes through the table which shatters on impact. Slim rolls towards the ring and Frank simply applauds from the ring while he still fails to count either man out. Slim gets to his feet and rolls himself into the ring. He then tries to catch his breath in the middle of the ring while Moose rolls himself out of the remnants of the announce table.

Ricky Simms - Well, we had a front row seat for that and it was a close call, but Moose paid the price.

Henry Lesher - Slim is just delaying the inevitable.

Moose pulls himself to his feet on the floor by use of the ring apron. He then rolls himself into the ring and is greeted with a kick to the head from Slim just as Pickens gets to his feet. Slim then stands on the chest on Moose and tells him he's the champ and that's not going to change. Slim steps off of Moose, pulls him to his feet and whips him off the ropes. He drops his head for a backdrop and Moose gives him a double axe handle smash to the back and then gives him a kick to the back before picking him up and scoop slamming him to the mat. Moose then delivers an elbow smash to the chest on Slim and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim. Moose then stands Slim up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges in for a shoulder block on Slim. He then gives Slim a fisherman's suplex to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out again by Slim and Moose looks over at Frank Merritt. Frank holds up two fingers and shakes his head.

Ricky Simms - I will say this, Frank is calling it down the middle right now.

Henry Lesher - Oh he'll let them kill each other. He could care less. He'll just count the pin and call for the bell.

Moose pulls Slim to his feet, whips him off the ropes and then dropkicks him down to the mat. Moose then looks to the ropes again. He goes to the nearest corner and starts climbing. He stops at the second rope and waits for Slim to get to his feet before delivering a bionic elbow to the head on Slim that takes the champ back down to the mat. Moose then looks out to the fans and they cheer as he appears ready to try and end this. Moose pulls Slim part way to his feet and then gets caught in a small package roll up by Slim. 1...2... kick out by Moose and the challenger jumps to his feet. He then puts the boots to Slim before standing him up, whipping him off the ropes and both men clothesline each other to the mat. Frank again shows no sign of counting a man down, instead screaming at them to get up and fight.

Ricky Simms - Frank is part ref, part motivational speaker here.

Henry Lesher - Your pain is his motivation.

Ricky Simms - Not a bad catch phrase there, Doc.

Slim and Moose both roll over and push themselves up from the mat. They each get to their feet and then start trading punches. The crowd appears once again torn between two very popular wrestlers. Slim goes for a knife edge chop, but Moose grabs that arm, brings Slim down to the mat with a trip and applies an arm bar submission hold on Slim Pickens. He sits back in it and pulls as hard as he can on the arm. Slim refuses to submit when asked by the referee. Slim instead reaches out for the ropes with his free arm. He pulls himself closer to the ropes while Moose applies further pressure on the arm and shoulder of Slim. Slim manages to snag the bottom rope and that forces the break. Moose releases the hold and then retreats to the middle of the ring. Moose waits for Slim to stand and then he charges and spears Slim through the ropes and down to the floor with Moose right on top of him. Moose then gets to his feet on the floor and then pulls back the mats that cover the concrete floor at ringside. Frank is seen smiling inside the ring as he still doesn't count either man out. Moose headlocks Slim and goes for a DDT onto the exposed concrete, but Slim blocks that and then he backdrops Moose to the floor instead. Slim then puts the boots to Moose at ringside before he rolls himself back into the ring.

Ricky Simms - Moose was trying to send Slim off in a very violent fashion there.

Henry Lesher - That's how this business works, Rick.

Moose slowly gets to his feet at ringside while Slim tells Frank to start counting the challenger out. Frank refuses and explains how many count outs he has prevented already. Moose then pulls himself onto the ring apron and starts to step through the ropes only to be shoved back out to the floor by Slim Pickens. Slim then goes to the ropes in the corner nearest to Moose and makes his way to the top. Moose gets to his feet and Slim goes for a flying body press. Instead, Moose catches him in mid air and then gives Moose a spinning power slam to the floor which draws loud cheers from the fans. Moose then slowly gets to his feet and then rolls himself back into the ring while a "holy shit" chant starts in the crowd. Slim gets to his feet on the floor and staggers back to the ring, using the bottom ring rope to pull himself into the ring. He then takes boots to the head from Moose. Moose then pulls Slim to his feet, whips him across the ring to the corner buckle and then backdrops him to the mat only to have Slim land on his feet. Slim then shoves Moose into the corner buckle and then gives him a reverse neckbreaker to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose and the fans groan.

Ricky Simms - The fans thought that was it right there.

Henry Lesher - Moose is a lot tougher than a lot of people give him credit for. I learned that lesson years ago.

Slim catches his breath while he stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick back to the mat. Slim then lands a leg drop to the chest on Moose and again hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Slim slaps the mat and looks to Kelli at ringside for inspiration while the fans turn almost entirely in the champ's favor. Slim then stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and misses a clothesline as Moose ducks it. Moose then gives Slim a series of rights and lefts to the head before he then sets for and delivers a Moosedriver on Slim. Moose then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! The Moose pulls off the win and is the new CWA champion. The crowd cheers as a chant for Slim Pickens starts as well.

Ricky Simms - Wow, what a finish! Moose is just so dangerous and hits that finisher from anywhere and at anytime!

Henry Lesher - Hey, full marks to both men and to management on picking the one referee who would let these guys beat the holy hell out of each other. Kudos all around on this title match.

The belt is handed to Moose and he stands in the corner, looking at the title belt and then looking over at Slim Pickens. Slim stirs on the mat and gets to his hands and knees while Kelli is shown as crying at ringside. Moose makes his way over to Slim and then helps him to his feet and shakes hands with Slim Pickens. They embrace for a moment and hold each other's hands high which draws loud cheers from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Well, these guys show some sportsmanship after the match.

Henry Lesher - I admit that's fine since the match was so violent.

Slim exits the ring and retreats up the ramp with Kelli at his side while Moose stays inside the ring with his title belt raised high and he celebrates with the fans.

Wyatt Gibson is seen pacing. He looks nervously around him and then manages a smile as Halloween Jack steps into the picture, dressed as a referee. The two men exchange a handshake.

Wyatt Gibson - Thank you. I needed someone to come in and call this match and I figured you were the best man for the job.

Halloween Jack - Based on what?

Wyatt Gibson - You were always just so.....

Halloween Jack - Okay, let's be honest here Wyatt. Sunstroke tonight has been about nostalgia. It has been about proving that this company can still put on a top notch show.

Wyatt Gibson - True.

Halloween Jack - I had zero interest in some battle royal, so you gave me this gig. Thing is, I might just stick around for awhile. Now, you said there would be another referee or two for this?

Wyatt Gibson - Well, you guys are more like spotters. The risk of injury here is huge. The weapons part make this really dangerous and it's two cages on top of each other and then the ladder at the top of the second cage. The risks are huge and I need people inside and outside the cage to call for EMTs as needed.

Halloween Jack - Just make EMTs the refs, Wyatt. Cut out the middle man.

Wyatt Gibson - This match will have unequalled enforcement. The winner will be the right winner in this one. There will be two referees as ringside, one in the first cage and one in the second who will also have to stand on the roof if needed. You're going to be in that second cage and slated for roof duty.

Halloween Jack - This should be fun. Can I ask one more question?

Wyatt Gibson - Shoot.

Halloween Jack - Can I climb the ladder and get the contract myself?

Wyatt Gibson - No.

Xtasy - *as he walks through the shot* Can I?

Frank Merritt - *walking through behind Xtasy, still wearing his referee's shirt from the match moments ago* Don't make me tell you again, X.

Jack heads towards the ring and we do as well.

SUMMER SANITARIUM
Ringside referees

First cage referee

Second cage referee

"Machine Gun Blues" by Social Distortion plays as Simon comes out to a loud ovation from the crowd. He has a steel chair in hand and makes his way down the ramp while tapping the steel grating with the steel chair. He smiles as he reaches ringside and looks upon the double cage in front of him. He then enters the door to the structure and then slips under the bottom rope into the ring. He paces inside the ring as Halloween Jack climbs a ladder inside the first cage to reach the second as the referee. "Forty-Six and 2" by Tool then starts to play and Silas Brueck comes out with six feet of rope in his hand and he gets a decent pop from the crowd as he gets set to make his debut in what could be the biggest match of the year in the CWA. Silas reaches ringside and looks over the cage from the outside first before nodding his head and then making his way inside to join Simon.

Ricky Simms - This cage is affixed to the ring posts unlike the cage we have for regular cage matches which allows for action outside the ring. In this case, the cage is right next to the ropes and doesn't allow a lot of room to regroup if things are going badly and you need a break.

Henry Lesher - Well, this should be a fantastic match simply because it doesn't have any Hoshi like wrestlers involved.

Silas and Simon stand across the ring from one another and just glare while Silas' music fades and then we hear "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC and Max Cameron comes out wielding a baseball bat. The crowd boos him this time around, but he pays them no mind as he makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then hits the corner of the cage with his bat. He looks into the ring at Simon and smiles and the two of them have words. Max then slips into the ring and gets to his feet between Silas and Simon, swinging the bat and looking at the two of them as if he is choosing which will be his first victim. "Kush" by Dr. Dre then plays and Pyro comes out to a negative reaction along the same lines as Max did. He is twirling a kendo stick in his right hand and he smiles as he makes his way down the ramp, another competitor anxious to prove his worth in this soul destroying match. Pyro wastes no time in slipping into the cage and talking his place in the corner furthest from the entrance. He gives Max dagger eyes on the way by his former partner. We then hear "Deep" by Nine Inch Nails and owner Shannon Skanes comes out onto the stage wearing a black glove. CWA fans over the age of thirty recall that Shannon wore a loaded glove during one particular feud in the early 90s and he has brought that out of retirement for this match tonight. He holds the gloved hand high as he reaches ringside and starts arguing with both Max and Pyro from there.

Ricky Simms - The glove is back, for tonight only I guess.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, I guess he once had an edge to his game. That has long since disappeared, of course.

Shannon slips into the cage and his music fades while he finds a neutral corner to stand in. "I'm a Bad Man" by Chamillionaire plays as Michael Anthony comes out with brass knuckles on his hand. He tells the camera his punch will be much worse than Shannon's. He makes his way down the ramp with Sarah trailing behind and she has her head down. The fans boo Michael with more vigor than they gave anyone else in the match so far. He ignores the fans and slips into the ring, standing in the center of the ring and arguing with Max without waiting for the bell to sound. We then hear "Vow" by Garbage and Heidi Hawkins comes out onto the stage with a leather belt in her hand. She twirls the belt as she makes her way to ringside and then she looks into the cage. Heidi is then attacked from behind by what appears to be a fan at ringside, but it is Rose Lemieux with a chair. She hits Heidi in the back of the head, sending her face first into the cage and then she falls in a heap. Ringside security pushes Rose back while referee Laurie Smith checks on Heidi.

Ricky Simms - What the hell is Rose's problem?

Henry Lesher - What isn't her problem?

Laurie signals that Heidi is out cold and requires medical attention. Heidi's music then abruptly stops and "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park plays as Myst comes out to a loud ovation from the crowd. Myst quickly makes her way down the ramp and gets into the face of Rose Lemieux, who is still fighting with security team members. Myst tells her to stay out of this match ot she'll end her pathetic career. Myst then shows the camera that she has brought handcuffs to the match tonight and then she slips into the Sanitarium.

Ricky Simms - Well, everyone who can complete is in the match now.

Henry Lesher - Rose did us a favor, taking that terrible excuse for a wrestler out of this match.

The bell finally sounds and Max charges at Shannon. Shannon ducks a swing from the bat and catches Max with the loaded glove in the gut and then gives him an inverted atomic drop. Myst gets caught in a lock up with Silas, but they are both attacked by Pyro who takes turns hitting them with his kendo stick. Pyro then clotheslines Myst to the mat and then takes a chair shot to the head from Simon. Simon then uses the chair to hit Pyro in the ribs and then turns and clocks Michael Anthony with it. Max Cameron swings the bat at Shannon, but misses him and hits the mesh of the cage instead. Max then takes another punch from the loaded glove, this one connecting with Max's jaw and sending him down to the mat. Shannon is not prepared for a spear from Myst who then pulls Shannon to the ropes and uses her handcuffs to attach him to the bottom rope. Myst then takes the baseball bat from Max and starts hitting Shannon in the ribs with it.

Ricky Simms - Well, since the rules are out the window, Myst is going to use everyone's weapons I guess.

Henry Lesher - That's a smart move on her part. I like it.

Myst tosses the bat away and then turns to Max and gives him a knee lift to the face. In another corner of the ring, Simon sets the chair he brought up and then sets to DDT Michael Anthony into it. Michael Anthony instead powers out of that and gives Simon a scoop slam onto the chair. He then loads up with the brass knuckles and drops a fist, but Simon move out of the way and Michael's fist hits the mat instead. Michael then takes a kick to the chest from Pyro who then gives him a swinging neckbreaker to the mat. Simon gets to his feet, picks up the chair and swings it at Pyro, but Pyro ducks that and catches Simon in the gut with the end of the kendo stick and then smacks him across the back with it. Pyro then drops the kendo stick and starts climbing the cage. There is a small opening at the top of the first cage that leads into the second one and it is right above where Pyro is climbing. Seeing this, Myst charges to the side of the cage and grabs Pyro by the legs. She pulls him onto her shoulders and then gives him an electric chair down to the mat where Max then leg drops Myst across the chest.

Ricky Simms - The action is fast and furious as all seven wrestlers want to climb their way into the number one contender's spot.

Henry Lesher - That is the name of the game, Rick. It's a tough call on who might be man enough for that chance.

Max Cameron then opts to start climbing the cage. He is grabbed by Simon and brought back down to the mat where Simon gives him a clothesline and then Simon gets to his feet and starts trading punches with Michael Anthony. Michael whips Simon off the ropes and misses a clothesline when Simon ducks it. Simon then gives Michael a side Russian leg sweep to the mat and then Simon goes to the cage and he starts trying to make the climb to the second cage. Pyro manages to pull Simon back down to the mat and then whips him off the ropes before flinging him face first into the side of the cage. Simon falls down to the mat and then Pyro finds himself in a fist fight with the gloved Shannon who quickly takes control and backs Pyro into the nearest corner. Shannon then rakes Pyro's eyes along the top rope before hitting him with the loaded glove and taking him down to the mat. Silas Brueck then manages to place a length of rope around the throat of the CWA owner and chokes him with it. Myst gets to her feet and sees the predicament Shannon is in and looks confused. She spots the key to her handcuffs on the mat near where Shannon had been left and curses herself.

Ricky Simms - Shannon freed himself and got back into the match.

Henry Lesher - Why would Myst bring the key?

Ricky Simms - In case she were caught in the cuffs herself?

Henry Lesher - Yeah, I guess, still kind of stupid if you ask me.

Myst grabs the handcuffs and then heads over to Shannon. She kicks him in the back and then thumbs him in the eye before whipping him into the corner buckle. She again handcuffs him to the top rope and then boot chokes him for good measure. She then takes a shot to the back with Pyro's kendo stick as he shows no regard for her saving him from Shannon's attack. Myst turns and takes a kick to the gut from Pyro who then hits her over the top of the head with the kendo stick. Silas Brueck seems pleased with Myst taking his choking victim away and then uses the rope to choke a distracted Simon. Michael Anthony backs away from Simon and Silas before he uses the ropes to get to his feet. Michael then starts climbing the ropes in the corner nearest to Simon and Silas. Michael then lands a flying cross body on both men that takes them both down to the mat. Michael then starts to climb the side of the cage in the midst of the chaos. Pyro spots this and he rushes to that side of the cage and he starts up after Michael. He grabs Michael by the foot and Michael then kicks Pyro in the head, knocking him back to the mat. Max Cameron then starts up the side of the cage next to Michael Anthony and the two start climbing towards the second cage at the same rate of speed.

Ricky Simms - Climbing to the second cage is just the first step towards the number one contender spot.

Henry Lesher - Hey, I have really enjoyed the violence so far. We need more of these matches.

Michael Anthony grabs the ceiling for the first cage and tries to pull himself up, but Max grabs him and then gets behind him. The crowd holds its collective breath as Max then delivers a Rock Bottom on Michael Anthony from the ceiling of the first cage down to the mat. The crowd cheers and referee Mark Davis checks on both Max and Michael. Pyro then starts to make his way up the side of the cage, but he is joined quickly by Simon on one side and Silas on the other. Simon grabs one leg and Silas grabs the other and they make a wish before they each pull. Pyro lets out a scream and falls to the cage while grabbing at his groin. Simon and Silas then start exchanging punches on the side of the cage after moving closer together. Silas eye gouges Simon and Simon eye gouges Silas. Shannon can be heard screaming at referee Mark Davis to get him free of Myst's handcuffs.  Mark refuses and Myst gets to her feet and gives Shannon a roundhouse kick to the chin. Myst then quickly makes her way across the ring and then starts climbing the cage. She climbs up between Simon and Silas and shoves Silas off the side of the cage and down to the mat. She and Simon then start climbing the cage together as they have apparently agreed to work together in this match.

Ricky Simms - If Simon and Myst are working together here, that tips the odds in their favor.

Henry Lesher - Well, they are clearly way above the other wrestlers in this match since they were smart enough to leave previously. If they work together, I figure Simon will be the number one contender.

Simon and Myst reach the second cage, but Max Cameron is close behind them. He is still wincing from the fall he took, but he knows what is on the line here and he refuses to be left behind. Max climbs into the second cage while Simon and Myst discuss who should get the right to climb the ladder. Max ends this discussion by slamming their heads together and then he picks Simon up and slams him onto the roof for the first cage. He then leg drops Simon before he gets to his feet and takes a superkick from Myst. Myst then lands a knee drop onto the head of Max Cameron while a very pained Silas manages to climb into the second cage as well. Myst starts to climb the wall of the second cage only to have Silas pull her off and power bomb her onto the fallen Max Cameron. Silas then looks up to the ladder above the second cage and he sets to climb the second cage, but he is caught by an outstretched hand from Pyro who is almost all the way into the second cage. Silas kicks Pyro in the head while dropping onto the cage roof of the first cage again. Silas then sets Pyro up for a bulldog, but Pyro gives Silas an atomic drop instead.

Ricky Simms - Michael and Shannon are the only ones who have not reaches the second cage yet.

Henry Lesher - Shannon may never be free from the handcuffs. It's worth noting everyone left their weapons behind when they went to the second cage. That leaves Michael Anthony with an advantage if he ever gets back into this match. He does look to be pretty out of it, though.

Referee Mark Davis continues to look over Michael Anthony and actually signals for EMTs to attend to him. Above them, Pyro and Silas are trading punches. Myst gets to her feet slowly and then she shoulder tackles Silas from the side. Pyro then gives Myst a bulldog to the steel mesh ceiling to the first cage. Simon then grabs Pyro, picks him up and power slams him onto the first cage's roof and there is a loud banging noise as the connections for the mesh on one side of the cage give way. The five wrestlers who had been battling on the roof to the first cage tumble through as the roof gives way and they all drop to the mat in a heap even as EMTs enter the cage to attend to Michael Anthony. The crowd starts a "holy shit" chant as the mesh roof swings over and crashes into the side of the cage, reaching down almost to the level of the top rope.

Ricky Simms - Dear Lord, that was dangerous to everyone!

Henry Lesher - Hey, that's what you get when you don't pay for quality cages. That never happens in any of the big companies.

EMTs now scatter to check on everyone who fell as well as Michael Anthony. Shannon Skanes, meanwhile, makes his way to the corner nearest to the cage door as he is still affixed to the rope via handcuffs. Heidi Hawkins crawls into the cage and pulls herself onto the ring apron, and we see she has a key in her hand. She uses the key to unlock a fresh and ready to fight Shannon from the cuffs. She then drops off of the ring apron and back out to the floor. Shannon scrambles up the side of the cage and we see Michael Anthony sitting up, a pool of blood where Michael's head had been laying. The EMT members try to get Michael to lay back down, but he refuses and actually shoves one aside before he starts to make his way toward the side of the cage. He starts to climb which draws boos from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Michael clearly has a concussion and should be out of this match.

Henry Lesher - He isn't, though. He is still as likely to win this as anyone else.

Myst manages to start climbing the side of the cage as well, her back cut on the way down to the mat via the steel mesh. Simon is at her side and is climbing as well. Max Cameron sits up and says something about being retired before he shoves an EMT away from him as well. He has blood trickling down his cheek, but that doesn't cause him any concern as he starts to make his way up the cage. The entire roof being dropped off to one side has opened the two cages into one massive cage with a hole on one side which will allow them onto the roof of the second cage. Unlike the steel mesh roof between cages one and two, the roof to the second is strong steel and far less springy and we can guess it would be far more devastating to hit it. The opening to the roof is manned by Halloween Jack who has been clinging to the side of what was the second cage since the roof gave way. He now climbs onto the roof where he anticipates being joined shortly by a large number of wrestlers for such a small and dangerous place.

Ricky Simms - I worry for the health of any man or woman in this match right now.

Henry Lesher - I have to agree. The danger factor is really quite high right now. This could be a career ender. Max Cameron, Pyro, you guys hear that?

It is Shannon who reaches the opening onto the roof first and he starts to pull himself through, but Michael Anthony grabs his feet and pulls him downward. Michael then lands a punch to the gut with the brass knuckles he is still carrying. He then hits Shannon in the head before Shannon has a chance to use the loaded glove and Shannon falls all the way to the mat far below and he crumples into a heap. Michael then pulls himself through the opening and onto the roof barely out of the grasp of Simon or Myst. Myst quickly climbs through the roof onto the top of the cage and she has words with Michael while both wrestlers realize just how high above the crowd they really are here. Simon then steps onto the cage roof and he gets into it with Michael, the two exchanging rights and lefts. Max Cameron looks up and sees this distraction and smirks before he emerges onto the roof of the cage. He shoves Myst towards Simon and they stagger dangerously near the edge. Myst falls onto the side of the cage and Simon holds her hand to ensure she doesn't fall to the floor. Max then starts to climb the ladder on one side while Michael climbs the other. This happens as Silas Brueck emerges through the opening onto the roof. Silas grabs Max Cameron with one hand and Michael Anthony with the other and pulls them both down.

Ricky Simms - There are five people at the top of this structure! This is so insanely dangerous!

Henry Lesher - I can't argue with that Rick. Even I am nervous and I never get nervous.

Silas rams Michael and Max's heads together and then he kicks Max in the chest, almost knocking him back through the opening into the cage. Max does fall and catches himself. His feet fall into the cage and catch Pyro in the face before he can even reach the roof, sending Pyro back to the mat in a heap. Max tries to pull himself back onto the roof while Silas kicks him in the head and tries to end his career once and for all here. Simon then pulls Myst back onto the roof and starts trading punches with Michael Anthony which allows Myst to start climbing the ladder. Michael thumbs Simon in the eye and then knees him in the gut before he reaches up for Myst. he grabs a handful of her wrestling trunks and pulls her down off the ladder while also exposing her from the waist down to the wrestling world. Myst tries to restore her dignity as Michael then climbs the ladder. Simon then grabs Michael around the throat and choke slams him off the ladder and onto the hard steel roof of the cage.

Ricky Simms - My God, someone is going to die up there. Michael already had to have a concussion and that won't make it any better!

Henry Lesher - It's the fight he has to get that title shot, Rick. He doesn't let morality stand in his way and I like that.

Simon starts to climb the ladder and Silas starts to climb the other side, allowing Max to get back onto the top of the cage. Max actually starts climbing the same side of the ladder as Silas and rams his head into the ladder before tossing him down to the steel roof. Max then continues the climb and finds himself face to face with Simon at the top of the ladder. They start trading punches and ramming each other's heads into the ladder. Myst starts climbing the ladder under Max while Michael Anthony somehow manages to climb under Simon. Silas Brueck, out of desperation, starts to shimmy his way up the side of the ladder, a foot on rungs on either side once he's able to reach. Myst places Max on her shoulders and gives him an electric chair onto the roof of the cage, drawing a huge cheer from a shocked crowd far below. Michael Anthony grabs the legs of Simon and pulls him off balance before shoving him down and onto the roof of the cage. Simon's momentum roll him off the roof and his hands grab the side of the cage to prevent a major fall that could be life threatening as much as career ending. Michael reaches up while Silas manages to get to the top of the ladder. He gives Michael a series of forearm smashes to his concussed head. He then rams Michael's face into the top of the ladder repeatedly. Myst starts to climb the other side of the ladder and, somehow, Max starts to do the same. He actually spits blood onto the roof of the cage while he climbs.

Ricky Simms - I cannot believe this match is sanctioned by the CWA. The winner of this match will need a month to recover from this.

Henry Lesher - They knew what they were signing up for, Rick.

Myst eye gouges Silas and shoves him off the ladder and back down to the cage roof. She then takes a thumb to the eye from Michael who then rams her head into the top of the ladder. Max Cameron then shoves Myst off the ladder and she falls to the cage roof and then rolls right into the hole that leads to the mat far below. She falls and is caught by Shannon Skanes, who has just finished getting to his feet and was looking to head up to the roof. Shannon and Myst's eyes meet and they pause for a moment before he gently sets her down. At the top of the ladder, Michael Anthony reaches up and grabs the contract for a title match just as Max spits blood in his face. The contract is pulled down and the referee calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - My God, Michael Anthony won.

Henry Lesher - He wanted it so bad that a mere brain injury was not going to hold him back. I personally love it. He has become my new hero. He keeps his wife in her place and now he wants the title.

Michael holds the contract high as Simon climbs back onto the roof of the cage, shaking his head and kicking the side of the ladder as he does so. Max drops down and starts arguing with Simon about who's fault it is that the wife beater won the number one contender's spot. The crowd boos loudly while Sarah Anthony at ringside actually is seen crying. There is no telling whether those are tears of joy or not.

Ricky Simms - Fans, what happens from here? Tune in to the next edition of Overdrive and find out!

Henry Lesher - That was awesome. I rarely say that, but I will give credit where it's due tonight. Great match.
