There is snow on the screen for a moment. We then see a close up of Rated R standing in the middle of an empty ring. He is grinning ear to ear which we know is bad news for someone.

Rated R - A great man once said he hated happy people. He hated happy people, because their smile, their happiness, meant someone, somewhere was miserable. My smile, my happiness, is due to the fact that I am winning. As we close in on the birthday of the man who founded this company, let us reflect on how he has failed and continues to fail. Let us reflect on how pathetic it is that a company he founded in 1984 is floundering and is run by his wife. Tonight I get the show back on track merely by being Rated R. By being who and what I am, I bring this show to another level. I am a champion. I am a winner. I am your worst nightmare and my smile will make all of you miserable soon enough.

He steps back and appears deep in thought for a moment before he continues.

Rated R - People wonder how "real" that moment was last week. How real was it when Shannon Skanes rounded a corner, saw me standing there and he tried to drill me into the floor? It was real, fans. The fact that makes that man sick and keeps him awake at night is that his company needs me. His wife is a smarter man than he is and she knows it. That's why I hold the hammer right now. That's why I am standing inside this ring and security isn't trying to push me out. That's why this edition of Overdrive will be the best you have seen in over a year. This isn't a show about Moose, JC Michaels or the failure of Max Cameron. This is a show about me, your true champion and the man who will dominate the ring again. 2009 is a year that will be truly Rated R.

The scene turns to snow for a moment again before we view tonight's opening credits.

We then see a splash on the screen.

Myst is seen in her office when there is a knock at the door and Wyatt Gibson looks in.

Myst - Any word on Ryan?

Wyatt Gibson - I don't know how he got into the feed like that. It's like "They Live" or something.

Myst - I am not happy. I don't like someone else having control over my show and having their own graphics displayed on screen. Ryan has an insider helping him.

Wyatt Gibson - Plenty of people in the locker room wanted him back.

Myst - My husband wasn't one of them.

Wyatt Gibson - It makes me question Shannon's popularity.

Myst - *sighs* I want to believe otherwise. I really do. I guess tonight I am going to have to make a choice.

Wyatt Gibson - Seriously?

Myst - I know Ryan all too well. He has big plans for tonight.

Wyatt Gibson - Well, there were rumors...

Myst - Finish that sentence and you're applying for welfare with your sister.

Wyatt Gibson - Backing away....

Wyatt steps out of the office and Myst curses, tossing papers all over her floor. She runs her fingers through her hair and shakes her head.

Myst - I fired Jordan, so who cleans up this mess?

Diva Battle Royale

When the camera returns to the arena, the camera takes note of the roaring crowd … whistling and hollering. We see signs such as “Welcome Back Rated-R.” to “Tommy Purr Paid Off ESW” to “Myst, Be My Valentine!” as the camera surveys the crowd. The camera finally cuts to the ring, where a bevy of beauties wait in the ring … nearly every Diva on the CWA roster, with the exception of Myst, Ashley Skanes, and Xandra … are crowding the ring. Kathy Smith, Ariel, Puckbunny Rose, Leather & Lace, Candy, Chastity, Bombshell, Hoshi & Kira Yakamoto, Tanja Michaels, Precious & Ebony Fairchild, Oopsie Daisy, Rebella DeCesare, Neriah Sweet, Cassandra O’ Shea, Mrs. Robinson, Destiny Hutton, Lydia & Cordelia Parizi, Sabrina Davidson, Sarah Darling, Leda Sophia Watanabe, Crystal Braun, Kelly Buchanan, Missy, Kosmic Kitty, Ophelia, & Sammy Jo Johnson. The Divas are confused as to why they have been summoned to the ring … but suddenly, the confusion wanes as “A Place For My Head” by Linkin Park kicks up over the P.A. system. The crowd gives a mixed reaction, as do a multiple amount of the Divas, as the sultry Myst walks out from backstage with a bright smile on her face.

Dr. Henry Lesher: Why is she smiling? I’m creeped out … just a little bit.

Ricky Simms: I agree with you … the thought of Myst smiling while addressing the Divas is a rather eerie image.

The music cuts out and Myst raises her microphone to her mouth.

Myst: Now, I know that some of you might be a little disappointed in me for my abrupt release of Jordan Gibson … however, allow me to assure you that I have found a suitable replacement … one that I have no doubt about, in my mind, that will make me think twice before dissolving that pathetic Divas Title.

The crowd boos and a number of the Divas glare and shout obscenities. Myst continues on.

Myst: I do have to say that I am not at liberty to reveal the Divas GM at this moment in time … but your GM was the one to summon you down here this evening. Not me. Ladies … your GM feels that a solid number one contender should be named for Veronica DiAtella’s Divas Championship … we cannot have “Battle of the Warriors” without seeing every major title in contention, can we? Therefore, tonight, in that very ring, The Divas General Manager has mandated an Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal to determine the challenger for the Divas Title at BOTW …

The camera notices people like Cassandra and Neriah looking worried and throwing their hands up in the air.

Myst: … However, there is a catch. The new Divas GM is aware of our cost-cutting policies. He’s also aware of the over-saturation of the Division … so, with that being said, the first three Divas eliminated will be the latest members to join “The Future Endeavors Club.”

The crowd boos as now, all of the Divas look worried and look around at their competition.

Myst: Any and every Diva is up for release. No Diva and no title is safe … if Bombshell were to be eliminated, her title would be vacated and she would be released. HOWEVER … if someone like Ariel is eliminated in the first three eliminations, that means that only two Divas would be released … seeing as how Ariel is wrestling without a contract. With that being said, the Divas GM has also mandated a special stipulation for both Ariel and Rose … in the event that EITHER Diva, working without a contract, wins the Battle Royal this evening, she will win a contract with the Division.

The camera focuses on Rose, whose expression brightens and she smiles brightly … Ariel snickers and sneers.

Myst: … Oh, and one more thing, ladies. The Battle Royal? It starts … now.

Suddenly, the bell rings and Myst disappears backstage as all of the Divas just look towards one another … Kathy snaps to attention and suddenly she rushes across the ring and spears down Sammy Jo Johnson, and suddenly the ring breaks out into chaos as the crowd goes wild!

Dr. Henry Lesher: Note to self, I will seek out the new Divas GM and kick her right into the ovaries.

Ricky Simms: Look at the bright side, Doc … three people are going to get fired!

Dr. Henry Lesher: Oooh … you know what, maybe this match isn’t such a bad idea after all. Someone eliminate Hoshi!

Mary Sanderson and Casey Braun stand on the outside of the ring watching for eliminations as the Divas claw it out. The match starts off as your usual clusterfuck bout in classic WWE fashion, with everyone pairing up. Suddenly, we see Rebella DeCesare slide out of the ring and to the arena floor. The referees ask her what she’s doing, but she ignores them and decides, instead to sit beside Ricky Simms at ringside, putting on a headset.

Ricky Simms: Rebella … what uh … brings you down to our neck of the woods?

Rebella DeCesare: It was just a bit too stuffy in the ring for my tastes. Besides, why waste my energy on half of a roster that DOESN’T deserve it?

Dr. Henry Lesher: That’s very true … it’s no wonder why you’re the First Lady of EVC.

Rebella DeCesare: Oh, Dr. Lesher, you charmer.

In the ring, Kathy Smith and Missy are trying to eliminate Sammy Jo Johnson … Chastity rushes over to help, but suddenly Kosmic Kitty tackles her with a Lou Thesz Press and begins wailing on the former Divas Champion. Cassandra, Catherine, and Destiny work over Crystal Braun in the corner, until Leather & Lace break it up by attacking the Managers of the Year! Ebony delivers a series of Chops to the inexperienced Neriah Sweet. Neriah is hurting big time, and Ebony goes for a Hip Toss. Neriah somehow counters it and executes her own Hip Toss over the top-rope. Ebony lands on her side on the apron and pulls herself up using the ropes. Precious charges Neriah, but Neriah ducks and Precious nails her own sister … sending Ebony to the floor!

Ricky Simms: Ebony Fairchild is the first Diva eliminated! And … oh no … Ebony is fired.

Rebella DeCesare: AWWW … poor Ebony … looks like she’ll have to waste space somewhere else.

Dr. Henry Lesher: Hey! Stop reading my cue cards!

Precious apologizes profusely to her sister … and Ebony is mortified to hear she’s been fired! Precious glares at Neriah and Neriah backs up and turns to run, but runs into a Clothesline from Lydia Parizi … Lydia and Cordelia beginning putting the boots to their fallen interviewer. Ariel gets whipped into the corner by Kosmic Kitty. Kosmic Kitty sets Ariel up for a Superplex, but Kelly Buchanan rushes in and grabs Kitty, setting her on her shoulders for an Electric Chair Drop, causing Kitty to hit the mat hard. Kitty rolls over onto all fours, and suddenly, Hoshi rushes in, launching off of Kitty’s back and hitting a beautiful Dropkick to Ariel’s stomach, causing Ariel to flail off of the turnbuckle, down to the apron, and down to the arena floor!

Rebella DeCesare: How ironic, the biggest piece of trash in the CWA took out the trash.

Dr. Henry Lesher: If I liked women, Bella, we’d be married.

Ricky Simms: Ariel working without a contract will have to find some other way to earn her spot on the roster.

Before Hoshi gets to her feet, Kelly nails her in the stomach with a swift kick! Leda Sophia whips Rose, but Rose reverses the move, and Rose hit’s a Backdrop on the return! Leda gets to her feet, and Ophelia hit’s a Dropkick causing her to fall back onto the ropes. Out of nowhere, Chastity and Sammy Jo hit a Double Clothesline on Leda, sending her over the top and out of the match!

Ricky Simms: And Leda is the last Diva fired …

Rebella DeCesare: Finally, if we could only do something about that last member of the Ryder offspring on this damn roster.

Dr. Henry Lesher: Okay … hey … you can insult Leda … you can insult Eli … but when you talk about firing Tommy Purr, then I’m going to have to tell you you’re being rude.

Leda is visibly upset as she is informed by Casey Braun that she has been eliminated and has been fired. While Leda is escorted to the back, Sammy Jo whips Destiny Hutton into the corner. Destiny rebounds off of the ropes with a Inverted Headscissors, but Sammy tosses Destiny’s legs over the ropes and Destiny lands on the apron. Destiny grabs Sammy by the hair and pulls her over the ropes and to the apron as well, the two begin trading punches on the apron, but Puckbunny Rose rushes up and hits them both with a Shoulder Block through the ropes, sending the two Divas down to the floor. Sammy Jo is stunned that she’s been eliminated. Missy is up on the opposite turnbuckle, laughing and pointing at Sammy, but suddenly, Rose rushes up from behind and shoves Missy, sending her over the turnbuckle and to the outside as well!

Ricky Simms: Puckbunny Rose showing that she wants her job back!

Dr. Henry Lesher: Why anyone would WANT to work here is a question I’ve often asked myself.

Rebella DeCesare: Don’t worry, when The EVC takes over for an entire month, you can be guaranteed that everyone is going to want to work here.

Kathy Smith goes to defend Missy’s elimination by swinging at Rose. Rose ducks the move and hit’s an Inverted DDT! Kira rushes over and hit’s a Senton Splash off of the ropes. Suddenly, without warning, the camera catches the sound of a loud “thud” and we see that Leather & Lace have been eliminated simultaneously. Sarah Darling jumps up and down in the ring, clapping, her large breasts bouncing up and down as Leather & Lace argue with the refs about their eliminations! Candy kicks Sarah in the gut and sets her up for a Powerbomb, but Bombshell runs up and launches off of Sarah’s back, hitting and Enzugiri to Candy’s head! Candy ends up turning around and comes face-to-face with sister Kitty … Kitty lifts Candy up for a Flapjack and Candy lands stomach-first on the ropes. Kitty and Bombshell then lift Candy’s legs into the air and dump Candy to the outside! Before the CWA Divas can celebrate, The Glamour Girls attack them from behind! Cassandra and Catherine step in to attack The Glamour Girls, pulling them off of Bombshell and Kitty.

Ricky Simms: This is all out chaos in the ring … each of these Divas wants to walk away as the number one contender for the Divas Title.

Rebella DeCesare: Too bad none of them are talented enough to actually go on and win it … and that says something if you can’t defeat Veronica DiAtella.

Ophelia gets a Clothesline from Cassandra, and Catherine grabs Ophelia’s legs, sending her over the top-rope with a Toss! The Managers of the Year then join hands and hit a Double Clothesline on Neriah Sweet and then another on Hoshi Yakamoto. In the corner, Chastity whips Daisy. Chastity gets on all fours as Lydia Parizi goes to execute the Poetry in Motion. The stronger Daisy catches Lydia in mid-air and sends her over the top like a rag doll, eliminating her. Daisy turns to talk trash to Lydia, and suddenly Cordelia jumps up onto Daisy’s back. Daisy grabs Cordelia by the hair and flips her forward and out onto the arena floor with her sister! Daisy poses as the crowd cheers, but suddenly, Kira climbs up onto Daisy’s shoulders in the Victory Roll position. Kira flings forward over the ropes and eliminates Daisy, pulling her over the ropes and to the arena floor with the Victory Roll as the crowd explodes with cheers! Kira gains her footing on the apron and poses, but suddenly we hear a headset drop …

Ricky Simms: What the hell is Rebella doing?

Dr. Henry Lesher: Being my hero?

Rebella has left her spot at the commentary table and grabs Kira’s feet, pulling her to the arena floor and eliminating her! Kira looks at Rebella and goes to attack her, but the referees pull her back, informing her she’s been eliminated! Kira is like a caged animal as she tries desperately to break free from the refs. Rebella laughs at her and walks back to commentary.

Dr. Henry Lesher: That was, hands down, the best thing about this match!

Ricky Simms: Why would you do something like that, Rebella?

Rebella DeCesare: Let’s be real, Ricky … it’s not like Kira was going to win the Divas Title anyway … so why bother winning this match? I did her a favor … just like I did her a favor when I gave the right people the right idea to eliminate Eli Ryder.

Dr. Henry Lesher: Genius! Pure genius!

Rebella DeCesare: Behind every great man like J.C. is a great woman like me … never forget that, boys.

Cassandra whips Sabrina into the corner and climbs the ropes, punching downward onto Sabrina’s head! Sabrina grabs Cassandra’s legs and shoves her towards the ropes and to the outside. Cassandra’s body lands on the apron and she begins to pick herself up. Catherine grabs Sabrina using a Body Scissors and a Sleeper Hold and Sabrina grabs the top-rope to steady herself. Cassandra grabs Sabrina and begins to pull her over, but Sabrina loses her footing and she, along with Cassandra and Catherine falls to the outside! On the other side of the ring, we see a frowning Sarah Darling being told that she’s been eliminated by Rose.

Ricky Simms: We’re getting down to the wire here …

Dr. Henry Lesher: Thank God, I have to pee.

Rebella DeCesare: You can go … I’ll keep the cynicism up for you …

Dr. Henry Lesher: Well, as long as there’s someone here to call this craptastic match for what it really is, I guess that’ll do.

We hear Lesher’s headset fall to the table as he leaves the announce table to go to the bathroom.

Ricky Simms: Am I the only one who takes contests in this company seriously?

Rebella DeCesare: Obviously. And that’s why you earn the small bucks.

In the ring, Tanja Michaels and Hoshi Yakamoto are working over Kosmic Kitty … Kelly Buchanan and Bombshell suddenly stare each other down and the crowd goes wild!

Ricky Simms: Oh my …

Rebella DeCesare: This should be very interesting …

Bombshell raises her eyebrows and smirks and suddenly she and Kelly are nose-to-nose and screaming at each other. Bombshell hauls off and slaps Kelly. Kelly retaliates, and the girls are not clawing it up, but literally punching each other in the face as the crowd cheers.

Ricky Simms: These two former BFFs are coming to blows finally … remember it was Bombshell that tried to help Kelly escape Vesuvius … until we learned Vesuvius’ woman-beating ways were all a ruse!

Rebella DeCesare: If you ask me, Kelly deserved a good woman-beating.

Crystal Braun and Neriah Sweet are suddenly eliminated with a Double Clothesline from Kathy Smith to the arena floor.

Ricky Simms: Kathy Smith wants a shot at that Divas Title … to get back into the wrestling game after be relegated to announcing duties.

Rebella DeCesare: There isn’t enough money on earth to make people sit through a Kathy Smith match.

Kosmic Kitty shoves Tanja Michaels away and begins wrestling with Hoshi. Tanja climbs the turnbuckle and goes for a Crossbody onto Chastity, but Chastity catches the tiny teenage Diva and dumps her over the ropes like a sack of potatoes. Chastity turns and suddenly comes face to face with Precious. As Kelly and Bombshell’s fist fight begins dominating one side of the match, the crowd cheers as the former rivals Precious and Chastity circle each other as well. They lock-up, but Chastity instantly knees Precious in the gut. Chastity sets Precious up for a Powerbomb, but Precious counters the move into a Headscissors over the ropes! The two Divas land on the apron and begin exchanging punches … but Chastity once again gains the upper hand. Chastity sets Precious up for another Powerbomb on the ring apron, but Kathy, hit’s a Clothesline while running along the side of the ropes inside the ring, knocking Chastity back onto the apron and down to the arena floor! The crowd cheers as Kathy talks trash. Kathy runs off of the ropes and comes at Precious to eliminate her as well, but Precious ducks and pulls down the rope, sending Kathy out to the apron as well. Chastity is on her feet and angrily pulls Kathy off of the apron, eliminating her. Kathy and Chastity begin punching each other in the face as the referees try to break them up. Precious watches on the apron, trying to catch her breath … but suddenly, Rose hit’s a high roundhouse kick to Precious’ head, causing her to fall to the floor as well!

Ricky Simms: Rose is playing for keeps in this match!

Rebella DeCesare: She’s Canadian, can she even spell “keeps”?

Rose turns to face the rest of her competition … and we see Hoshi delivering chops to Kitty in the corner … while Kelly delivers kicks to Bombshell in another.

Ricky Simms: This is going to be interesting. Rose is up against four other Divas that have carved out their own legacies in the CWA.

Rebella DeCesare: Yeah, wonderful legacies … two of these Divas will sleep with anything … one Diva does nothing but eat fattening snack foods and fail at suicide … and another one has been known as the resident jobber Diva. Swell.

Kelly gets whipped into the corner by Bombshell. Bombshell charges, but Kelly gives Bombshell an elbow to the face. Kelly pushes herself up onto the turnbuckle, but Bombshell runs up and hit’s a handstand Headscissors out of the corner. Kelly moves Bombshell’s legs from around her head and grabs on, pulling Bombshell up into a straddling position on the turnbuckle! The Divas exchanged more punches, but the crowd boos as 6Pac Dudley suddenly jumps through the audience and onto the ring apron. 6Pac tries to help eliminate Bombshell, but instead, both Bombshell and Kelly hit him in the face. 6Pac grabs onto both of them as he falls and all three tumble to the apron, but Bombshell is the only one who doesn’t tumble onto the floor! Kelly and 6Pac stagger, trying to get up. Bombshell climbs back up onto the turnbuckle and suddenly, she eliminates herself by vaulting off with a Diving Crossbody onto both Kelly and 6Pac. All three end up on the floor sprawled out.

Ricky Simms: The Aerial Champion is proving why she’s Aerial Champion!

Rebella DeCesare: Okay, I still don’t like her … but that was damn impressive. For her.

Ricky Simms: We’re down to three Divas … can Rose win this match and earn her contract???

Kitty goes to the corner with Hoshi and she’s ready to set up for the Boo Boo Kitty. However, Rose is there to make sure the move doesn’t follow through … helping Hoshi send Kitty to the outside! Kitty stomps on the arena floor, looking dejected and disappointed.

Ricky Simms: We’re down to the final two!

Rebella DeCesare: Wonderful. The person that wins this match is going to definitely become our new Divas Champion.

Ricky Simms: Change of heart, Rebella?

Rebella DeCesare: Something like that …

Hoshi Yakamoto and Rose shakes hands and circle each other. Hoshi gives Rose a knee to the gut before she charges and whips her off of the ropes. Rose comes back with a Lou Thesz Press, but Hoshi catches her and runs towards the turnbuckle! Rose gets smashed into the turnbuckle. Hoshi then whips her into the opposite turnbuckle, but Rose flips forward into the turnbuckle and swings her legs to the outside and lands on the apron. Hoshi has been following her at a fast speed in an attempt to squash her into the turnbuckle, and she is unable to stop in time to keep from sailing into the turnbuckle and over the ring post, eliminating herself! Rose has done it as she gets in the ring, crying excitedly and jumping around as the crowd cheers.

Ricky Simms: Rose has done it! Rose has won the Battle Royal AND her contract! What the-

As Rose celebrates, Rebella sneaks into the ring and ambushes Rose from behind, grabbing her by the hair and wrestling tights and sending her out onto over the top-rope. Rose gets stuck, so Rebella thoughtfully kicks the puck bunny in the stomach, causing Rose to fall to the floor. The crowd boos heavily as Rebella smiles and bows … Kathy Smith, at ringside hands her mic to Rebella who addresses the live audience.

Rebella DeCesare: I told Ricky Simms that the person who won this Battle Royal would go on to become Divas Champion … and you know something? I was absolutely right.

The crowd chants “YOU’RE A WHORE!” through the arena as Rebella smiles.

Rebella DeCesare: As part of The EVC Doctrine, every title will be brought into our stable … and that includes the Divas Title. My first act of business as The First Lady of Violence … is this … to eliminate and eradicate all traces of The Yakamoto lineage. Veronica DiAtella … you’ve been put on notice … your belt is mine.

“Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC begins to play as Rebella smiles vindictively in the ring and Rose cries, upset that she was so close at getting back her contract. Lesher returns to his commentating position.

Dr. Henry Lesher: So, what did I miss?

Ricky Simms: A travesty, Doc. A complete travesty.

Backstage in catering, multicolored streamers and balloons decorate the entire place as various members of the roster weave in and out of the room … the camera focuses on a large, white sheet cake that reads “Happy Birthday Tommy” and it’s obvious that we have interrupted Tommy Purr’s 27th birthday. The camera takes note of Tommy Purr … who is talking to Malk. Malk hands Tommy a wrapped box and states matter-of-factly.

Malk: I didn’t know what to get you since you have more money than God … but I heard you liked stuffed animals.

Tommy Purr: Thanks Malk, you didn’t have to get me a gift.

Malk: Eh, no big deal. I have to get ready for my match, thanks for inviting me.

Malk walks off and Tommy opens the gift happily … Tommy gives a dumbfounded look and pulls out a dead Yorkshire Terrier that’s obviously been prepared by a taxidermist. Suddenly, Myst enters the picture, a smug look on her face.

Myst: I didn’t expect Malk to take me so literally when I told him you liked stuffed animals … a Care Bear would’ve sufficed, but this is funnier.

Myst morbidly pokes at the glazed eyes of the taxidermied dog as Tommy responds to Myst in a bored fashion.

Tommy Purr: Ah, well, I didn’t expect YOU to show up … did someone tell you there was free cake?

Myst smiles warmly and then folds her arms.

Myst: Actually, I came over to speak with you … privately.

Tommy Purr: … About?

Myst: You’ll have to find out … in private. Let’s just say … I have a few birthday gifts for you that I don’t think you’ll want to return.

Myst turns on her heels and walks away. Tommy seems leery and then looks down at his stuffed Terrier.

Tommy Purr: I think I’ll name you Moscow.

Tommy then puts the dog under his arm and follows Myst off camera.

Sammy Jo Johnson vs. Kosmic Kitty

"Who Made Who" by AC/DC plays as Sammy Jo Johnson makes her way onto the stage where the crowd gives her a mixed response. The camera then looks to ringside where Kathy Smith is in her new role as ring announcer and she is shaking her head. Sammy Jo makes her way down the ramp with Ophelia and Chastity close behind her. Johnson steps through the ropes into the ring and then tests the ropes while her music fades. We then hear "Lala" by Ashlee Simpson and await the arrival of Kosmic Kitty. Instead, Rated R makes his way onto the stage shaking his head.

Rated R - You see, this is why the CWA is floundering and being run over by a second rate stable. Samantha Johnson against Kosmic Kitty? No, not tonight. If Samantha wants a match, she is going to have to wait as I have talked it over with Myst and agreed that this match is not to take place tonight.

Samantha Johnson shakes her head and grabs the microphone from ring announcer Kathy Smith.

Sammy Jo Johnson - How the hell am I supposed to believe that?

Rated R - Oh, I have the hammer tonight in terms of control. When this night is out, you'll see why I have the control and this roster is in for it. Everyone will see why Ryan Yorke is still the best wrestler in this business. I am the smartest and most talented which is a deadly combination. Samantha, your night is done and Kosmic Kitty will be better served waiting for a decent challenger.

Rated R walks off with a smirk on his face while the Glamour Girls shake their heads inside the ring. Kathy is seen smiling at ringside, though.

Bruce Miller is seen in his locker room looking concerned when Vesuvius enters the picture.

Vesuvius - What's this I hear about our match tonight?

Bruce Miller - Shannon is in jail.

Vesuvius - What?

Bruce Miller - Apparently Ryan created a restraining order and Shannon was in violation of it by being in the building tonight, so they took him away. It's bull, because Shannon was never served the notice.

Vesuvius - Looks like he's exposed Shannon as the paper hero he is.

Bruce Miller - I'll let him know you send your love.

Vesuvius - Maybe Ryan is just what this company needs right now, a major shake up.

Bruce Miller - The thing is, there are people around here who aren't exactly a big fan of Ryan.

Vesuvius - I can't see anyone stepping forward right now, though.

Bruce Miller - I certainly can.

Vesuvius - Who?

We return to the ring before he has a chance to answer.

JC Michaels vs. Greyson Blaze

"My Own Enemy" by Thousand Foot Krutch plays as Greyson Blaze makes his way onto the stage with Daniel McCoy at his side. The crowd cheers as Blaze makes his way down the ramp and then pulls himself onto the apron while McCoy takes his spot at ringside. Blaze steps through the ropes into the ring and then leans back against the corner while his music fades and then we hear "Suicide Messiah" by Black Label Society plays and JC Michaels makes his way onto the stage where the crowd greets him with loud boos. Michaels is followed closely by Gary Barber down the ramp to ringside and then JC rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring. JC gets to his feet and referee Mark Davis calls for the bell as Blaze and JC start trading punches to the head. JC then thumbs Blaze in the eye and whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him an arm drag back to the middle of the ring.

Ricky Simms - Greyson Blaze has a chance to build on the momentum he has been creating with this match against JC Michaels.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, but JC will expose him as the flash in the pan he is and be done with it.

JC Michaels applies a sleeper hold on Blaze while McCoy tries to encourage Greyson from ringside. Greyson reaches for the ropes while he refuses to submit to the hold by JC. Greyson lunges and manages to grab the top rope which forces the break and JC releases him. Greyson then turns and gives JC a series of knife edge chops to the chest which drive him to the ropes. Greyson then whips JC off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat before giving him a knee drop to the forehead and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by JC. Greyson then stands JC up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline when JC ducks it and then he gives Greyson a tilt a whirl over the knee backbreaker and then JC goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Greyson.

Ricky Simms - Both men get the early two counts in this one.

Henry Lesher - JC is the better man. Greyson is dead in the water.

JC stands Greyson up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges for a shoulder block, but Greyson brings a foot up and kicks JC in the jaw and then he jumps to the second rope and then levels JC with a double axe handle smash from there before he goes for another pin. 1...2... kick out by JC. Greyson then stands JC up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as JC ducks that and then he gives Greyson a knee to the gut and a snap mare into another sleeper hold. Greyson responds with a snap mare on JC to break the hold and places JC in a sleeper which is broken when JC manages to grab the middle rope. JC then rolls himself out to the floor with Gary Barber, both men shaking their heads.

Ricky Simms - It appears Greyson is more game for this match than they expected.

Henry Lesher - Like it matters.

JC has a few words with Barber and then he pulls himself onto the apron. Greyson greets him with a series of rights and lefts and then pulls him through the ropes into the ring. Greyson applies a headlock on JC and then gives him a bulldog to the mat before he rolls him over for another pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by JC Michaels. Greyson then stands JC up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick to the mat. Greyson then goes to the corner buckle and makes his way to the top. Gary Barber then jumps onto the apron and shouts at Greyson. Greyson leaps off and gives Gary a dropkick to the chest that sends him to the floor. Greyson lands on the mat where he takes a brutal punch to the face from JC who turns him and then gives him a DDT to the mat before rolling him over for the pin and he hooks the tights. 1...2...3! JC Michaels gets the win tonight through nefarious means.

Ricky Simms - I would give anything for JC to win a match fairly.

Henry Lesher - It just shows he is smarter than everyone he fights.

As JC's arm is raised, we see 6Pac Dudley rolling himself into the ring with a hockey stick in hand. He slams Greyson across the back with it while Daniel McCoy rolls himself into the ring to come to Greyson's aid. He tackles JC to the mat and then trips the feet out from under 6Pac. 6Pac then hits Daniel in the head with the hockey stick, sending him out to the floor and then he hits Greyson in the ribs with it repeatedly while JC rolls himself out of the ring and starts to make his way up the ramp with Gary Barber. Dudley then stands over Greyson and looks ready to finish him off while Bombshell slips into the ring behind 6Pac. She then taps him on the shoulder and delivers the Bitch Kick when he turns around, sending him down to the mat. She then rolls herself out to the floor while the fans cheer.

Ricky Simms - What a mess.

Henry Lesher - Bombshell always leaves a mess behind in her dealings with men. It's part of the reason she can't stick to just one. It sickens me.

Vigilante is seen backstage with Ray Dees.

Ray Dees - Vig, it was great to see you at ringside with Max last week.

Vigilante - It's always great to see me Ray!

Ray Dees - The fans are wondering when you'll be back.

Vigilante - Have you looked around here, Ray? This place is crawling with parasites. It's crawling with the kind of filth we used to keep on the outside. Why would I soil my reputation by lowering myself to being a part of this garbage?

Ray Dees - Then why were you at ringside watching it?

Vigilante - Max bought the tickets.

Ray Dees - We thought you hated Max.

Vigilante - I do.

Ray Dees - Then why sit with him?

Vigilante - He bought the tickets. Am I getting ahead of you, Ray?

Ray Dees - You're wearing an EOS T-shirt. Does that hint at a comeback of the greatest faction that the CWA ever knew?

Vigilante - I believe you're forgetting GoBoomRay there, Dees. Those guys were awesome. It was like Al Snow and Leif Cassidy rolled into one.

Ray Dees - They were the same guy.

Vigilante - No, Boom had a mask and Ray's face changed every week. He must have paid a fortune in plastic surgery.

Ray Dees - No, I mean Snow and Cassidy.

Vigilante - They weren't in GoBoomRay. Try to keep up, Dees. You're slipping in your old age.

Vigilante shakes his head and exits the shot.

Myst is in the ring and she has a smile on her face as the CWA fans are at a frenzy right now.

Myst - I'm out here right now to address a challenge that was presented to me by a member of the EVC, Eternity.

The fans start booing the mention of Eternity.

Myst - Yeah I don't like him much either. But he has proposed that there be a match at BOTW where he faces an opponent that I choose, and if he wins....then the EVC will run the CWA for a month. And if he loses, then the EVC will not play any games and interfere in matches for a month. Well before I answer this challenge, I'd like for Eternity to come out here now so I can answer his challenge.....in person.

After a few moments, "The Imperial March" by Metallica blares over the PA sytem as Eternity walks through the curtain followed by JC Michaels. They head to the ring as the fans are booing them. Myst has a smile on her face as both Eternity and JC step into the ring and stand across from her.

Myst - Well JC, I didn't think you'd be out here but I'm sure you'll like what I have to say as well.

JC - Well I invited myself....

Myst - Well that's fine. But anyway, to answer your challenge......I'm always up for a good challenge, and as a result of that....I accept your proposal for BOTW!!!

The fans have a mixed reaction as both Eternity and JC are jumping up and down and excited over the chance to take over the CWA for a month. Myst is smiling and nodding her head.

Eternity - That's great! I can't wait for BOTW now! And after I win, then you're gonna see what it's like to have someone screw with your career, and screw with your life every chance they get!

JC - Yeah and you're not gonna like it one bit....

Myst is still smiling though as the fans continue to boo the EVC. Both JC and Eternity raise their hands as they are about to exit the ring.

Myst - Wait guys.....don't you want to know who you'll be facing at BOTW?

Eternity and JC both turn around and walk back towards Myst.

Eternity - It doesn't really matter....but sure, go ahead and tell me.

Myst - You know it's actually pretty funny. Because when you made your proposal, I received a phone call from someone about 20 minutes after it aired. A phone call from someone begging and pleading with me to be the man to step in the ring with you. And when I got the call from this person, I have to admit I had my doubts. The Dynasty had their doubts as well. But after some thinking about it....I decided to give this man what he wants, and give him a CWA contract.....and a match against you!

Eternity - That's all fine and good. So who is this guy that clearly has a deathwish?

Myst laughs as she shakes her head.

Myst - I'll tell you what....I'll give you a hint and see if you can figure it out on your own. The one thing you should know about this man.....is that you've NEVER beaten him in the ring.

Eternity looks confused as he turns to JC and then back to Myst....

Eternity - Are you telling me you went out and found "The Cannibal" Slater Shaw? No one has heard from that guy in years!

Myst - No....it's not Slater Shaw.

Eternity - Okay, well then it has to be Kaz Nakamaki. He's a former BLPW World Champion....

Myst - Nope.....not Kaz either. But if he ever wants a deal here, he's got it.

Eternity looks even more confused and then his eyes open wide. He turns to JC and grabs him by the shirt!

Eternity - It's you! It's you, isn't it JC?!?!?!? We've had our history and you waited til now to turn your back on me didn't you?

JC smacks Eternity's hands off his shirt and then backs up. He straightens out his shirt and shakes his head.

JC - Why the hell would it be me? We're on the same team here. I want to take over the CWA as much as you do, you dope!

Myst - No, I have to say....JC isn't lying....it's not him.

Eternity - Well then I have no clue who it could be. There's no one else that it could be....

Suddenly standing next to Eternity, JC's eyes get very wide and he has a concerned look on his face.

JC - Ummmm.....well, there is one other guy that you've never beaten.......but there's no way in hell Myst could've gotten him.....there's no way......

Myst - Oh really? Are you sure about that JC? Well let's find out......

There is a pause as the fans are waiting with anticipation......after a few more moments, suddenly the lights dim and "Space Lord" by Monster Magnet starts blaring over the PA system! Then a man walks through the curtain and the fans explode!

Ricky Simms - HOLY GOD, It's HAMMER!!!!!

Henry Lesher - You've got to be kidding me!?!?!?! Hammer is the guy that will be facing Eternity at BOTW??

Ricky Simms - This is unbelievable!!!!

Hammer walks through the curtain wearing a pair of jeans and he has a wooden baseball bat in hand. The fans are still going crazy as both Eternity and JC look like they've seen a ghost in the ring. Hammer goes into a sprint and slides into the ring. Eternity stomps him a few times. Suddenly Hammer jams the bat into Eternity's gut and he doubles over. Hammer quickly grabs him and drills him with a thunderous Hammerbomb!!! Eternity is out of it in the ring as Hammer then turns and walks towards JC who still looks stunned and hasn't moved.

Ricky Simms - These guys are supposed to be best friends! What's happened??

Henry Lesher - JC has burned a lot of bridges recently....maybe this is another one of them.

Hammer gets right in JC's face and JC puts out his arms basically telling Hammer to go ahead and hit him. Hammer pauses for a moment as the fans are still going crazy. Meanwhile, coming down the ramp is Shadow and Gary Barber. Gary pulls Eternity out of the ring. Hammer has a smile on his face as he hauls back to crack JC. Before he can, Shadow grabs JC's legs and pulls him out of the ring as well. Everyone in the EVC looks to be in shock as they're pointing at Hammer and yelling various things. Hammer turns his attention to Myst, and he shakes her hand.

Henry Lesher - I can't believe this.....Now the EVC has to deal with Hammer too?

Ricky Simms - They're gonna get exactly what they deserve.

Hammer grabs the bat and exits the ring to the cheers of the fans. Myst follows him out as well.

Greyson Blaze and Bombshell are seen backstage in the gorilla position. Bombshell is holding the Aerial Title, which is dangled loosely in one hand.

Greyson Blaze: Thanks for the assist out there … you didn’t have to though.

Bombshell raises a hand to silence Greyson.

Bombshell: Think of it as me gaining some leverage against an old flame.

Greyson Blaze: Trust me, there won’t be any aid needed at Battle of the Warriors.

Bombshell: I’m aware … Tommy speaks very highly about you … and from what I’ve seen, competing against you would help me bring some credibility back to this title. However, one word of advice.

Greyson Blaze: What’s that?

Bombshell: Keep your eye on McCoy.

Greyson Blaze: What? I’m confused …

Bombshell shakes her head, disappointed.

Bombshell: McCoy has a history … a very notable one. Trust me when I say, watch your back.

Greyson Blaze: Look … whatever happened between him and Tommy is there business, it has nothing to do with me …

Bombshell: Until McCoy makes it about you. Just … please, heed my warning …

Bombshell walks off as Greyson looks thoughtful. McCoy enters the frame, looking after the retreating Bombshell.

Daniel McCoy: What was that all about?

Greyson Blaze: Oh … um … she was giving me some pointers about 6Pac.

Daniel McCoy scoffs.

Daniel McCoy: Did she also tell ya’ how she ruined the guy’s career and drove him insane … 6Pac ain’t always been such a jerk. Watch out for that girl, Greyson … Ah’ know she’s perdy and every-thang but …

Greyson Blaze: But what?

Daniel McCoy: She’s a man eater. She’s a temptress. Don’t let her bewitch ya’, Junior. Most importantly, don’t believe every-thang that she says …

McCoy now walks off as Greyson looks puzzled as to who to trust more … his tag team partner … or the person holding the title he wants.

Hoshi Yakamoto vs. Tommy Purr

"Switch 625" by Def Leppard plays as Hoshi Yakamoto makes her way onto the stage where the crowd gives her a warm response. She is accompanied by Tanja Michaels as they make their way down the ramp towards the ring and Hoshi then slides under the bottom rope into the ring. She then jumps into the corner and sits on the top rope while her music fades and then we hear "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry and Tommy Purr comes out to an equally loud ovation from the crowd. Purr makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and then steps up onto the apron before he steps through the ropes into the ring. Referee Casey Braun calls for the bell as Hoshi reaches her hand out and Tommy shakes it. The two then lock up and Tommy quickly backs Hoshi into the corner. Tommy then whips Hoshi to the opposite corner and then gives her a double underhook suplex to the middle of the ring and then he delivers a leg drop to the chest on Hoshi and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi.

Ricky Simms - Hoshi is down early here.

Henry Lesher - There's a shocker. Get Rated R back out here. He'll smack her around. Have I mentioned how happy I am that he's back?

Tommy stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a dropkick that sends her down to the mat. Tommy then goes to the corner buckle and makes his way to the top while Hoshi gets to her feet. Tommy leaps off the top rope and misses with a flying cross body as Hoshi ducks out of the way. Hoshi then gives Tommy an elbow smash to the chest before he has a chance to stand and then she applies a headlock on Tommy. Tommy quickly gets to his feet and backs Hoshi into the ropes, then whips her off the ropes. Hoshi leap frogs Tommy and then gives him a spinning heel kick to the back of the head and then she rolls him into a school boy for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Hoshi then stands Tommy up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick that sends him back to the mat.

Ricky Simms - Hoshi is holding her own here.

Henry Lesher - That will last a few moments, no longer.

Hoshi stands Tommy up, whips him into the corner buckle and then does a hand stand into a head scissors and then brings Tommy to the mat where she again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy. Hoshi then stands Tommy up, whips him off the ropes and misses as Tommy ducks a clothesline and then gives Hoshi a backslide into a pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi who then rolls herself out to the floor where she talks things over with Tanja Michaels. Hoshi then pulls herself onto the apron and steps into the ring and locks up with Tommy. Hoshi then knees Tommy in the gut, whips him off the ropes and gives him a backdrop, but Tommy lands on his feet and then gives Hoshi a standing dropkick to the back that sends her falling face first to the mat. Tommy then applies an STF on Hoshi. She quickly manages to grab the bottom rope which breaks the hold.

Ricky Simms - Quick thinking by Hoshi there.

Henry Lesher - She is just delaying the inevitable.

Hoshi gets to her feet and ducks a wild right from Tommy and then she gives him an atomic drop and then trips his feet out from under him and she goes for the pin. 1...2... reversal into a small package by Tommy. 1...2...3! Tommy wins the match and we see Max Cameron applauding at ringside while standing next to him is none other than CWA hall of famer Dizz.

Ricky Simms - Tommy gets the win and apparently Max brought someone else here tonight.

Henry Lesher - Hey, Dizz can at least wrestle. He could beat the holy hell out of most of the posers we have around here. I just wonder when Max became the Raven of the CWA with his band of misfits at ringside.

Tommy rolls himself out to the floor and nods towards Dizz and Max as he makes his way to the ramp.

The scene takes us backstage where we see Myst walking through the hallway. As she gets to her locker room, she sees a security guy that was standing outside her door, laid out on the ground. He checks on the guard who seems to be out cold.

Myst - What the hell is this?

Myst opens up the door of her locker room and sees that the lights are out.

Myst - Who the hell is in here???

Myst turns the light on.....

Myst - Oh this is real great...

Inside her office we see hanging from a noose attached to the ceiling is a life-size cut-out of Myst herself. On top of the cut-out is a large black cowboy hat, with the initials "M.R." on the hat. Myst looks furious as she tears down the noose and the life-size cut-out. She stomps on the cowboy hat as Wyatt Gibson walks into the scene as well.

Wyatt - Uhhh....what are you doing?

Myst - This Midnight Rider crap is making me crazy! Wyatt, I wanna know who this guy is, and what the hell he's doing here. And if he's a member of the EVC they're all gonna pay!

Wyatt - We're sure it's not Dusty Rhodes right??

Myst - Just get out of here....

Wyatt walks away as Myst sits down behind her desk.

Ricky Simms - The Midnight Rider strikes again......

Henry Lesher - This guys making enemies in a hurry.

The Bomb Shelter

“Piece of Me” by Britney Spears plays in the arena as Bombshell is already in the ring, which has been set up for her talk show segment, The Bomb Shelter. The crowd cheers and whistles at the curvaceous Aerial Champion, dressed in a red, sequined cocktail dress in black stilettos. The music fades as Bombshell brings her microphone to her lips …

Bombshell: Last Tuesday … over at Empire State Wrestling … the annual Soul Survivor Tournament took place. In that tournament, one person walked away with the crown of Soul Survivor … and a shot at any championship title belt in the ESW of their choosing. Let’s take a look at the footage.

Stills are shown of last week’s Soul Survivor, we see images of Tommy Purr fighting Malk, Brian Karagias, Decan Kayne, and Steve Hawkins in the tournament … the images are shown to sound effects of moves being hit in the ring, the reaction of the crowd, and the ESW commentators talking. Stills are then shown of all four men falling to The Tommyknocker … and then of Tommy having his hand raised after being named the Soul Survivor. The camera returns to the arena … and the fans are cheering wildly as Bombshell smiles broadly.

Bombshell: In one evening, four men fell prey to his finisher … in one evening, he became known as the Icon of the CWA by the ESW Commentators … in one evening, he made history … there is only one word to describe the person that is my guest tonight … that word is … TOMMY!

“Crazy Bitch” by Buckcherry hit’s the P.A. and the crowd is on its feet for Tommy Purr as he makes his way out to the arena with the CWA Tag Team Title over his shoulder. Dressed in a sharp black suit with a white collared shirt, Tommy takes a moment to take in the audience’s ovation. Tommy then saunters down to the ring as the fans cheer him on. Tommy enters the ring where Bombshell hands him his own microphone. She gives him a big hug and we can hear her say how proud she is of him. The music fades and the crowd’s reaction dies down.

Bombshell: Tommy … it’s been a huge week for you. First off, how does it feel, representing the CWA, walking into another company … and winning such a historic event?

Tommy Purr: Honestly. It felt phenomenal. It felt exhilarating. It was a moment that truly became one of the most memorable of my career.

Bombshell: And what of the ESW locker room? What do you have to say in regards to your opponents?

Tommy Purr: Unlike those in the ESW that talk bad about us here in the CWA, I’m not going to blast them … there’s no need. They called us Crappy Wrestling Association and other various names, but I went in there … and I showed them that we’re not crap. We’re just that damn good.

The crowd cheers wildly and begins chanting Tommy’s name.

Bombshell: With the annual Soul Survivor Tournament, the winner is granted a title shot of his or her choosing for any title on the roster. Everyone is dying to know … what title are you planning on challenging for?

Tommy Purr is about to give his answer, when all of a sudden -

J.C. Michaels: Whoa, whoa, whoa … nobody cares …

J.C. Michaels appears on the stage, interrupting the interview, much to the fans’ chagrin. J.C. makes his way toward the ring, his T.V. Title strapped around his waist, a microphone in hand. He makes his way up the stairs hastily and into the ring … as Tommy calmly looks on. J.C. then positions himself just a foot away from Tommy.

J.C. Michaels: Are you forgetting … Tommy, where you are right now? No one cares that you blew your way - no pun intended - to a tournament victory over the likes of Malk and Steve Hawkins. No one cares about your exploits in another company … in fact, I’d say it’s safe to bet that many people would find you a little hypocritical for your presence over in the ESW. I mean, you verbally bash The EVC for fairly dominating over you and your pathetic friends here in the CWA … and then you go over and dominate a sapless bunch of wrestlers who couldn’t wrestle if their lives depended on it? C’mon, Tom-Tom … it’s plain as day you want to be just like me, just like Barber … it’s obvious you want to be part of The EVC.

Tommy Purr: Michaels … the difference between me and you is the simple fact that I was INVITED into the ESW … they wanted me over there, and more importantly, they wanted me to stay. YOU? No one likes you, nor does anyone want you to stay … and it’s a pity that we have to bare the cross for Myst making a mistake in judgment by giving you a longer than necessary contract.

The crowd cheers as Tommy smirks and J.C. glares, his mouth twitching angrily as he grinds his teeth.

Tommy Purr: Did I make you mad, J.C.? You really shouldn’t make that face … it makes you look older.

J.C. Michaels: Do you know what truly disgusts me more than anything else in this company?

Tommy Purr: Your body odor?

J.C. Michaels: Keep cracking your jokes, Tommy … but I’m serious. What disgusts me the most is how these moronic people feed into your B.S. … how they eat out of your hand and fawn all over you. You’re seen as the CWA ‘Icon’ for winning a tournament? Where’s Gary Barber’s respect for winning The King of Philadelphia? Where’s my respect for being TV. Champion? You invade a promotion and are granted a title shot … meanwhile, I had to bruise egos and bust skulls for weeks before I was granted a shot at any gold. The ESW is treating you like gold, and it annoys me that your rewarded and praised for your hypocrisy.

Tommy Purr: Again, the differences between you and I are obvious and apparent … I didn’t threaten to shut down the ESW like you threatened to do with the CWA. You and your boys stormed in here like you were Nazis searching for Anne Frank … I’m one man trying to bolster his resume. You’re one man who is getting too big for his britches.

J.C. Michaels: At the rate you’re going, Tommy … the ESW might as well just close its doors right now.

Tommy Purr: What’s the supposed to mean?

J.C. Michaels: C’mon, Tom-Tom … everything you touch turns to shit.

Tommy understands what J.C. is getting at as J.C. grins and continues on.

J.C. Michaels: Look at Daniel McCoy. You got with him two years ago … the man was set to become a Main Eventer in the AW … and then his career went down the toilet. Your marriage fell apart. Your half-brother Eli Ryder was fired … your own twin sister Leda was fired tonight as well. You are Tag Team Champions with Jack Spade … but … whoops … where is Spade now? You trained Hoshi Yakamoto … and now she’s too busy chasing tail to be taken seriously. Your surrogate big brother Gerard Angelo? Yeah … his fake death might as well have been real … because no one has cared about him or his career for a good two years. And then, there’s your mentor … your old buddy … Rated-R. The man was damn-well in retirement … and then gets owned by Shannon Skanes backstage and doesn’t even throw a punch. Pathetic. Your ‘Crap Shoot’ is contagious … poor Bombshell can’t seem to keep a man or get T.V. time … God knows what will become of Greyson Blaze now that he’s under your win. Your track record speaks for itself Tommy … those who get involved with you, are doomed …

J.C. is being booed out of the building at this point as he grins wickedly at Tommy Purr. Tommy looks at him thoughtfully and smiles weakly, pulling the microphone to his mouth.

Tommy Purr: Then I guess, it’s safe to assume, you’re next.

JC's grin fades as Tommy continues.

Tommy Purr: You’re right. I forgot where I was tonight. My challenge for an ESW title can wait … right now, I’m staring at someone who needs an ass kicking more desperately than Karagias, Sunn, or Kayne.

The crowd cheers wildly as the two men stare each other down.

Tommy Purr: I never thought I’d say this, Michaels. But I want you. I want you bad.

J.C. gives a weirded out look as the crowd laughs.

Tommy Purr: I want you in this ring … no EVC, no Divine Intervention … just you and me … this goes beyond your group, this goes beyond the BLPW or CWA … this has now become about you and me … and you have now made things even more personal. At Battle of the Warriors, on the biggest stage the CWA has to offer, I hereby challenge you for the Television Championship.

The crowd cheers loudly as J.C. smirks.

J.C. Michaels: You think you can take me on? You think you have what it takes to do what your brother couldn’t?

Tommy Purr: I think the real question is, J.C. … do you have what it takes to put on a good match … and step out of Barber’s shadow? Or is your career going to go down faster than your promotion did … or worse, is it going to go down faster than your whore of girlfriend?

J.C. hauls off and slaps the taste out of Tommy’s mouth. The crowd is shocked and in a frenzy as Tommy calmly turns his face back to J.C. and smiles.

Tommy Purr: Please, sir … may I have some more?

J.C. goes to slap Tommy again, but Tommy blocks it and delivers his own! The crowd explodes as the two begin brawling in the ring! The two fall to the mat, rolling over one another and exchanging more punches. Suddenly, Barber and Shadow appear, trying to pry Michaels away … Frank Merritt and Jack Spade slide into the ring and are trying to get Tommy off of Michaels as well. The crowd is going wild as Tommy keeps punching Michaels who has a handful of Tommy’s collar and is hitting him in the gut. Eternity runs down to the ring to help break up the fight as well … and out follows Greyson Blaze, who steps into the ring to help calm Tommy down. J.C. is out of the ring and being pulled to the back as Rebella appears and tries to talk him down. J.C. screams obscenities in Tommy’s direction, blood trickling from a small cut on JC's forehead, as Tommy is held in place by his friends. The crowd begins chanting Tommy’s name as Tommy grins, blood making a small trail from Tommy’s nose.

Wyatt Gibson is seen mumbling to himself backstage as he makes his way through a corridor and then comes face to face with Shelia Lavin. She smirks.

Shelia Lavin - Oh, what is this?

Wyatt Gibson - I must be seeing a ghost. We're not hiring.

Shelia Lavin - Funny you should mention that. I came here because I heard there might be a job opening.

Wyatt Gibson - Oh, great, you mean you're replacing my sister running the divas division?

Shelia Lavin - *frowns* No, I wouldn't debase myself with such a pedestrian task. I heard there might be a job open at the general manager position for this show.

Wyatt Gibson - My job?

Shelia Lavin - I hear there's been a lot of chaos and unruly behavior of late around here. That's a shame and it reflects on you, Wyatt. It doesn't reflect well.

Wyatt Gibson - I don't deserve to be fired.

Shelia Lavin - I am not the one you need to convince. Where is Myst's office, anyway?

Wyatt Gibson - Go to hell.

Wyatt moves on and Shelia frowns.

Shelia Lavin - Such insolence, he's clearly overcompensating for something.

The Moose vs. Eternity

"The Imperial March" be Metallica plays for the second time tonight as a less happy Eternity than normal emerges onto the stage with Shadow in tow. Shadow stays close to Eternity with a chair in his right hand as they watch out for Hammer. They reach ringside without incident and Eternity then pulls himself onto the apron before he steps through the ropes into the ring. His music then fades and we hear "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits and The Moose makes his way onto the stage where the crowd gives him a warm ovation, possibly the loudest of the night. He holds the CWA title high above his head before he makes his way down the ramp towards the ring. He then stops at ringside and hands the title belt to the timekeeper before he pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Referee Steve Blake then calls for the bell and Moose and Eternity start trading rights and lefts which causes the fans to cheer.

Ricky Simms - Moose has been chased by the EVC members a lot and tonight he is taking the fight to them.

Henry Lesher - I just don't know how long Moose can do this on his own, though.

Moose backs Eternity into the corner with a forearm smash to the jaw and then whips him to the opposite corner before he charges and lands a knee lift to the chest on Eternity. Moose then gives Eternity a scoop slam to the middle of the ring and then applies a full Nelson on Eternity as the fans start to chant his name. We see Shadow pacing at ringside and he grabs the bottom rope and considers pulling himself onto the apron, but the referee warns him off about such a tactic. Eternity manages to snag the bottom rope with his foot which causes the referee to force a break of the hold. Moose releases Eternity and he bails out of the ring, signaling for a timeout.

Ricky Simms - Moose in complete control, so Eternity is looking for a break.

Henry Lesher - One on one, no one can deny that Moose is tough.

Moose drops and rolls himself out to the floor after Eternity. Moose grabs Eternity by the arm and Eternity uses his free arm to thumb Moose in the eye and then gives him a forearm smash to the jaw before slamming his face into the steel guard railing. Eternity then whips Moose shoulder first into the steel corner post. Eternity rolls Moose into the ring and then rolls himself in before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Eternity then stands Moose up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of knees to the gut before giving him a hip toss to the mat. Eternity then picks Moose up and gives him a power slam to the mat before he hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Eternity shakes his head as he stands Moose up and then he runs him shoulder first into the corner buckle before giving him a German suplex to the mat. Eternity again tries for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Moose and the crowd cheers.

Ricky Simms - Eternity is having some difficulty in pinning Moose here.

Henry Lesher - No one questions Moose in the toughness department. He's just a loner and that doesn't bode well for him against EVC members.

Eternity stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and Moose ducks a clothesline, picks Eternity up and gives him a fireman's carry into a side slam to the mat. Moose then rains down punches on the downed Eternity before he stands Eternity up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Moose then gives Eternity a leg drop to the throat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Eternity.

Ricky Simms - Moose is also having problems finishing the match here.

Henry Lesher - Oh, this match could go on for awhile.

Moose stands Eternity up, whips him into the corner buckle and then looks towards the ramp. Moose rolls himself out of the ring and heads off Gary Barber with a belt shot to the jaw, sending Barber to the floor. Shadow chases Moose and also takes a belt shot to the jaw as the referee calls for the bell. Moose then rolls himself into the ring and Eternity bails out rather than take a belt shot from the champion. Moose stands inside the ring with the belt held high as the fans chant his name again.

Ricky Simms - As I said, Moose is not a victim tonight. He refuses to take a beating from the EVC.

Henry Lesher - What happens next week when they get a chance for revenge?

Ricky Simms - We'll find out on the next edition of Overdrive. Tune in for...

"I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace plays as Rated R makes his way onto the stage. He is applauding in golf clap manner and rolls his eyes before he speaks on the microphone.

Rated R - Gary Barber? JC Michaels? Shadow? Eternity? All here in my little company? You see, this is where Moose has his ending and all is right with the world. Tonight is my night, though. Myst, I want my answer.

We then see Myst on the big screen hanging above the stage.

Myst - My answer is..... yes. You get your job back and you're in the ring next week.

Rated R - And Battle of the Warriors?

Myst pauses and sighs.

Myst - Rated R will fight Shannon Skanes in... a buried alive match.

Rated R - That's fantastic. And who do I warm up for that against next week? Maybe I get to beat up Hoshi or Kira or a Goomba of some sort?

Myst - Next week, you square off against... Sal Clemenzo.

The crowd cheers wildly as Rated R's jaw drops and Sal emerges onto the stage and the two stars start brawling.

Ricky Simms - Oh my God! These two had a bloody feud that raged for months and it just got rekindled! Sal and Ryan are beating the hell out of each other!

Henry Lesher - There is a GOD! Next week is going to be GREAT!

We fade to black on Sal and Rated R being separated by security team members and Rated R and Sal threatening each other as if they still hated one another.
