Houston, TX

The lights flash to the beat of the music. We see Moose, Hoshi Yakamoto, Precious Darling and AJ Cameron sitting around a table in the middle of what is usually the dance floor. Moose frowns as he surveys the club and he actually sighs while waiting for the judge of the contest to arrive. None other than Steve Austin enters the picture.

Steve Austin - If y'all wanna see me slam back fifteen beers, gimme a hell yeah!

Moose - You're not a member of the CWA.

Steve Austin - Sounds like a challenge to me.

Moose - Can we get this over with?

Steve Austin - Hey, son, you show some respect for Stone Cold.

AJ Cameron - *towards someone off camera, likely Paulie La Cerva* I'm wearing heels tonight. I thought the stripper thing was tonight. Is that okay?

Steve Austin - *glaring at AJ* That's messed up. I didn't know y'all were that kind of group. Maybe I'll sit this one out. *storms off mumbling about the state of wrestling.

"The Reflecting God" by Marilyn Manson plays as we see images of AJ Cameron, Tommy Purr, Malk, Moose, Freak, Himself and Pyro before we head to ringside where Henry Lesher and Ricky Simms are ready to call tonight's action.

"Touched" by Vest plays as AJ Cameron makes his way onto the stage, but he doesn't look well. He slowly makes his way down the ramp towards the ring, the crowd giving him a rather mixed reaction. He stops at ringside and seems a little wobbly before he makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He then leans his head against the corner buckle while his music fades. "Super Massive Black Hole" by Muse plays as Rebella DeCesare then makes her way out onto the stage. She takes a moment while the fans boo her and she then quickly makes her way down the ramp to the ring. She rolls herself under the bottom rope into the ring and the referee calls for the bell while ropes are lowered from the rafters and into the reach of the wrestlers involved in this first match of its type in the CWA.

Ricky Simms - AJ is looking kind of rough after last night's drinking contest.

Henry Lesher - He didn't know when to stop.

Ricky Simms - The fans at home will see what we are talking about later tonight. Anyway, the rules are simple. The first to climb one of these ropes and swing across to retrieve the contract hanging above this ring gets a shot at the Aerial title.

Henry Lesher - So go ahead and change the channel. The EVC did. We won't be seeing them at all tonight.

AJ manages to right himself and moves in for a lock up with Rebella. She ducks that, knees AJ in the gut and then gives him a series of forearm smashes to the jaw. Rebella then whips AJ off the ropes and he gives her a shoulder block to the mat. AJ then gives Rebella a knee drop to the forehead and then he gives her a series of rights and lefts to the side of the head. AJ then gets to his feet, grabs onto one of the ropes and starts to pull his way up. Rebella gets to her feet and manages to reach up and grab AJ around the knees. She then finds the strength to pull him off of the rope. He lands on her shoulder and then she drops him back with an electric chair, using his momentum against him. The crowd cheers the move and she then makes a move to the rope.

Ricky Simms - Nice move by Rebella on AJ who doesn't seem to be at full speed tonight.

Henry Lesher - That makes him on par with Max then.

Rebella starts pulling herself up the rope while AJ gets to his feet. He reaches up for her and takes a kick to the face from Rebella. AJ then pulls himself up the rope with one hand while he reaches up with the other. He manages to grab her around the waist and then falls back, giving her a back suplex to the mat. AJ then gets to his feet only to have his feet pulled out from under him by Rebella. Rebella then kips up to her feet and then she jumps to the rope and starts to shimmy her way up while AJ slowly gets to his feet. He reaches up and grabs onto one of Rebella's feet. He holds on for dear life while she tries to reach out to grab the contract.

Ricky Simms - Rebella is so close.

Henry Lesher - We have to watch AJ all night, do we? Wonderful, super, excellent...

Rebella kicks down at AJ and she loses her grip on the rope, falling and landing on AJ Cameron. Rebella then stands AJ up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Rebella then puts the boots to AJ and then she starts to quickly shimmy her way up the rope. AJ struggles to get to his feet and then he falls to his knees again while Rebella swings herself over and grabs the contract which prompts the referee to call for the bell while Rebella jumps down to the mat, contract in hand.

Ricky Simms - Rebella wins herself a shot at the Aerial title.

Henry Lesher - No one cares, I am glad it's over.

Rebella leaves the ring while the referee checks on AJ and he assures her that he is fine.

Paulie La Cerva and his girlfriend Drina stand next to the table where the drinking contest has begun. Paulie is not happy with AJ.

Paulie La Cerva - AJ, you drank fruit juice in the first round, so you get a double shot this turn.

AJ Cameron - Look, the bartender screwed up.

Paulie La Cerva - AJ, you're not botching this contest. It's a double shot for you.

Precious Fairchild - I still have my shirt on.

Paulie La Cerva - Yeah...

Moose - How can Malk be a title holder and me with nothing?

Paulie La Cerva - Save the whining until you're really drunk.

Moose - I've paid my dues to the CWA.

AJ Cameron - Hey, I have to deal with being related to Max. Don't talk to me about paying your dues.

Paulie La Cerva - Okay, so everyone's ready for round two?

Hoshi Yakamoto - I really don't want to puke on anyone.

Paulie La Cerva - Then don't do that.

Hoshi Yakamoto - I am just saying.






"Touched" by Vest plays as AJ Cameron makes his way onto the stage for the second time tonight. He slowly makes his way down and ramp and clearly isn't fully ready for this challenge. AJ then makes his way up the ring steps and then steps through the ropes into the ring. AJ then paces inside the ring and then does a few jumping jacks while telling the referee that he's fine. We then hear "Downfall" by Trust Company and Tommy Purr makes his way onto the stage where the crowd greets him with cheers. Tommy then quickly makes his way down to the ring, shaking his head as he looks in at AJ Cameron. Tommy then steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring where he starts arguing with AJ. His music then fades and "Southtown" by POD plays as 6Pac Dudley steps out onto the stage where the crowd has a mixed reaction to him. 6Pac then runs down the ramp to ringside and nods his head as he looks into the ring at the challenge which awaits him.

Ricky Simms - 6Pac is out here alone, stating his partner will be Moose if he accepts that challenge. Otherwise, he has to pin both AJ and Tommy tonight.

Henry Lesher - Hey, Moose would be wise to stay out of this.

6Pac pulls himself onto the apron as AJ insists on starting the match. Tommy finally relents and he exits the ring which leaves AJ inside the ring. 6Pac then steps through the ropes into the ring and the referee calls for the bell to start the match. 6Pac looks back for Moose, but shakes his head when there is no sign of him. 6Pac then locks up with AJ. 6Pac backs AJ into the corner and then gives him a knee lift to the gut. 6Pac then gives AJ a hip toss to the middle of the ring and then applies an arm bar on the struggling AJ Cameron.

Ricky Simms - AJ is going to be sore when this night is over.

Henry Lesher - Why must people named Cameron be losers?

AJ gets to his feet and then gives 6Pac a series of knife edge chops to the chest. AJ then whips 6Pac off the ropes and then he gives 6Pac a backdrop to the mat. AJ then picks 6Pac up, power slams him down to the mat and then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by 6Pac. AJ stands 6Pac up, whips him into a neutral corner and then charges in for a shoulder block, but 6Pac side steps it and then rolls AJ into a school boy pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by AJ. 6Pac then stands AJ up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor while Tommy just shakes his head on the apron.

Ricky Simms - Tommy is apparently trying to teach AJ a lesson here.

Henry Lesher - If he hasn't learned it by now, my guess is that he never will.

6Pac climbs to the top rope in the corner. AJ gets to his feet and takes a missile dropkick to the chest from 6Pac who then stands AJ up and rolls him into the ring. 6Pac rolls himself in and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by AJ. 6Pac then goes to the corner buckle, climbs to the top and then he manages to hit a moonsault onto AJ Cameron before he hooks the leg and again tries for the pin. 1...2...3! AJ has been eliminated from the match by 6Pac.

Ricky Simms - 6Pac is half way there!

Henry Lesher - Yes, he is half way to losing to Tommy Purr.

6Pac gets to his feet as AJ rolls himself out of the ring and then Tommy catches 6Pac off guard with a bulldog to the mat and then he stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat followed by a leg drop to the throat. Tommy then stands 6Pac up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a running knee lift. Tommy then gives 6Pac a knee to the gut followed by a double under hook suplex to the mat. Tommy then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by 6Pac. Tommy stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline when 6Pac ducks it and then he whips Tommy off the ropes. AJ slams a chair across the back on Tommy, dropping it when he realizes he hit the wrong person as the referee calls for the bell. 6Pac rolls himself out of the ring and charges at AJ, giving him a spinebuster to the floor before landing a series of punches to the head on him.

Ricky Simms - Wow, AJ just cost 6Pac the match and won by DQ in striking his own partner?

Henry Lesher - Geez, that's convoluted on him.

6Pac chokes AJ while we then see Lydia Parizi on the big screen over the stage.

Lydia Parizi - This seems hardly fair. 6Pac, we agree that you're getting a raw deal, so next week you will get your barbed wire match with Moose. We cannot believe Moose abandoned you tonight.

Ricky Simms - She's lying.

Paulie is seen as we return to the drinking contest.

Paulie La Cerva - Okay, so we have four round down and everything looks good.

Moose - Are you kidding me? My life sucks. My hips hurt, shoulder hurts and I am still here. I am still in this company after all of this time.

Paulie La Cerva - Pace yourself Moose.

Hoshi Yakamoto - My God, I think I'm a lesbian!

Precious Fairchild - Anyone else hot? I feel hot right now. This place needs air conditioning.

AJ Cameron - *looking at his hands* I think my stubby fingers put women off.

Paulie La Cerva - My God, not a damned one of you can hold your liquor.

Precious Fairchild - Like it is damned hot in here!

Precious then removes her shirt and Hoshi stares intently at her chest.

Hoshi Yakamoto - Yeah, I like girls. What would the Republican Party think?

Paulie La Cerva - For the record, we are moving up to double shots now.






"Touched" by Vest plays as AJ Cameron steps out onto the stage for the third time tonight. He shakes his head as he limps his way down the ramp. He is half way to the ring when Tommy rushes down to argue with him, still hot over the finish to the last match. Tommy is berating AJ for interfering in the match, stating he can handle 6Pac. AJ just shakes his head as he turns away from Tommy and resumes his walk to the ring. Tommy heads him off and continues the argument. As they argue, AJ's music stops and then we hear "Voices" by Rev Theory and Malk makes his way onto the stage where the crowd gives him loud cheers. He makes his way down the ramp to ringside and gets between AJ and Tommy and actually tries to reason things out before the match.

Ricky Simms - When Malk is the voice of reason, that's trouble.

Henry Lesher - Well, I hate to agree but you're right there.

Malk rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring as AJ and Tommy then follow which allows the referee to call for the bell to start the match. The three competitors get to their feet and then Tommy starts arguing with AJ again while we see Malk rolling his eyes. Malk then clotheslines both of them to the mat. Malk puts the boots to AJ and then stands Tommy up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him to the mat. Malk then stands AJ up, whips him off the ropes and shoulder blocks him down to the mat before giving him a leg drop to the throat. He then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by AJ Cameron and Malk slaps the mat.

Ricky Simms - There are four briefcases, one in each corner. When you score a pin, you get to pick a briefcase. Only one holds the contract for a shot at the TV title. The other three are empty. You get a case for every pinfall win for achieve.

Henry Lesher - Since everyone else sucks, Tommy will win.

Malk stands AJ up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a kick when AJ side steps it and then AJ gives Malk a DDT to the mat. AJ then takes a kick to the face from Tommy who then picks AJ up and runs him face first into the corner buckle before slamming him to the mat. Tommy then climbs the ropes in the corner and leaps off, landing a scissor kick to the back of the neck on AJ before rolling him over for the pin. 1...2...3! Tommy scores a pinfall and gets the first crack at the cases. He picks a case in the nearest corner, opens it and reveals that it is empty. He tosses it out to the crowd and then turns and takes a spear to the mat from Malk. Malk then stands Tommy up, whips him into the opposite corner and then gives him a clothesline in the corner.

Ricky Simms - Tommy opened the first case only to find it empty.

Henry Lesher - So he'll get the contract with the next pin. Big deal. It took him mere seconds to score the first pin on that hung over AJ loser.

Malk then attempts a bulldog, but Tommy tosses him away only to take a thumb to the eye from AJ who then gives Tommy a knee to the back and then gives him a reverse neckbreaker to the mat. AJ then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy. AJ then stands Tommy up, but Malk gives both a clothesline to the mat and then Malk boot chokes AJ which causes him to roll out of the ring to the floor. Malk then stands Tommy up, whips him off the ropes and then misses with a clothesline when Tommy ducks it and then he gives Malk a facebuster to the mat. Tommy then stands Malk up, whips him off the ropes and both men clothesline each other to the mat. The referee starts counting both men down while AJ rolls himself into the ring.

Ricky Simms - All three men are desperate to score the pin in this one.

Henry Lesher - Tommy wins. Just get it over with, Tommy. You're the man.

AJ stands Malk up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick to the mat. AJ then goes to the top rope and leaps off at Malk, but he takes a kick to the head from Tommy which sends him down to the mat and then Tommy goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Tommy scores his second pinfall win of the match. He then rolls himself to the next corner and grabs a briefcase. He opens it and shows it to the camera and shows the contract while the referee calls for the bell to decalare Tommy the winner. Tommy tells the camera that Gary Barber's time as champ will be short and then he rolls himself out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - I cabn't help but think that AJ is in this state tonight as a result of last night. I don't think that this helps him.

Henry Lesher - AJ sucks anyway. He should wrestle drunk so he doesn't feel it.

Paulie La Cerva - Okay, so Hoshi is out. Like, seriously, she is out.

Moose - You shouldn't leave her on the floor like that. I may puke on her.

Precious Fairchild - My pants are making me hot now.

AJ Cameron - I think my hands are growing. That's bad when you're drinking, right?

Paulie La Cerva - Okay, so it's down to you three. Precious, please leave your pants on.

Precious Fairchild - But they're hot.

AJ Cameron - I'll say.

Moose - Now I just think I should puke. It's bad when you hold it back, makes you sicker.

Paulie La Cerva - Puke and you're out, Moose.

Moose - How does Malk beat me, though? Now I get 6Pac talking shit about me...

Paulie La Cerva - More double shots this round, guys. I sense we are getting down to it now as we hit double digits here. I know Precious is nearly done.

Precious Fairchild - *pointing to the floor* I love her you know. *starts crying* I love her so much.

Paulie La Cerva - That's fantastic.




"Walk with Me In Hell" by Lamb of God plays as Pyro makes his way onto the stage. The crowd actually gives him a solid ovation and he stands on stage while the steel cage is lowered onto a ring that AJ Cameron is already in the middle of. Pyro makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then he steps inside the door to the cage. Pyro then rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring and he stands face to face with AJ and tells him that he doesn't want to fight like this, that he knows AJ is in no shape to fight right now.

Ricky Simms - The winner of this match gets a shot at the Old School title.

Henry Lesher - It looks like Pyro wants none of it right now, though. I would just knock AJ out and take the easy win. AJ is humiliating himself by being in every match tonight. This is truly sad.

The referee talks to Pyro and he simply shakes his head and then he has a few unkind words for AJ before he drops and rolls himself out of the ring. Sugar rolls herself out of the ring as well and explains the situation to ring announcer Sammy Jo Johnson.

Sammy Jo Johnson - Pyro has opted out of this match as he feels AJ Cameron is in no shape to compete and this match is no contest.

The crowd boos and then we see Cordelia Parizi on the big screen, shaking her head.

Cordelia Parizi - Pyro, you want to take the high road? You are passing up a shot at the Old school title belt? Well, fine then, Backdraft will feature an open challenge for the Old School title then. The cage will be in place and maybe someone will be inside that ring who isn't AJ Cameron. As a result of your high road move tonight, Pyro, you're not permitted to challenge Malk for the Old school title during the entirety of his reign. You'd better be making the right move tonight.

Pyro just nods and tells the camera he won't need the Old School Title shot when he's the contender for the World Title. He smirks as he makes his way up the ramp while AJ is left shaking his head in the middle of a ring surrounded by a cage not meant to be used tonight.

Moose is seen staring through a shot glass.

Moose - There are days I wish that I could just turn evil and be like those ECV... VCE... whoever the hell they are.

AJ Cameron - My ears hurt. I think alcohol got in them.

Paulie La Cerva - Precious deciding that this contest was clothing optional has caused her to be removed. It's down to you two.

Moose - Do I keep being a hero or do I start waving brass knuckles around and challenge people to barbed wire matches? What do I do, huh?

AJ Cameron - You're a good man, Moose. Good, strong ears on you.

Paulie La Cerva - Okay, so you guys are ready for another round then?

AJ Cameron stands up, wobbly and leaning on the table as he does so.

AJ Cameron - I am proud of my family, despite everything it has done. Tomorrow night, I'll win everything for the Cameron name. It's my time to shine.

AJ then starts pulling himself up onto the table.

Paulie La Cerva - You probably shouldn't do that. It doesn't look sturdy.

AJ Cameron - *standing on the table* I'll win the drinky contest because I can have drinks and drinks and be the greatest diva in CWA history.

AJ then raises his arms in victory and loses his balance. The table falls forward while he falls backward and AJ then clocks the back of his head on a chair while falling to the floor, the chair falling apart on impact before the wreckage surrounds the head of AJ Cameron. Paulie stands over him and sighs.

Paulie La Cerva - The winner of the first ever CWA Drinking Contest, as a result of a self-inflicted knockout by AJ, is Moose.

Moose - I am going to throw up.

Paulie La Cerva - As a result of winning, Moose, you either get rehab or a trip to Fiji. It is up to you. I'll also give you tomorrow night off. I have a flight booked to take you home. We'll still pay you, though.

Moose - You're a kind man, Paulie.

We then cut to a shot of Moose at his home, not looking impressed.

Ricky Simms - My God, it's Moose and that's live!

Moose - I wondered how the hell I got home and why I had a wad of cash in my pocket when I woke up an hour ago. Paulie, I can hold my liquor. I don't know what you spiked my drinks with, but I am not the kind of guy who passes out for a day and misses his matches. I was going to come out tonight to team with 6Pac if only to shut the guy up, but you managed to keep me out and make me look bad. I don't like games, Paulie. If this is how you want it, I might need to look to some vigilante justice here to right the wrongs.

The shot turns to snow while the crowd cheers that last comment.

Ricky Simms - Paulie really screwed both Moose and 6Pac over there.

Henry Lesher - Never take drinks when the Devil is paying your tab, Rick.








We look back to the ring and Tommy Purr, Malk and AJ Cameron are already inside the ring arguing while the ring crew sets up tables surrounding the ring. "C-lebrity" by Paul Rogers and Queen plays as Kira Yakamoto then makes her way onto the stage and starts to make her way down the ramp, drawing cheers from the crowd. She stops at ringside and looks around at the tables before she then makes her way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. The referee calls for the bell, but the arguing doesn't stop in the center of the ring. Kira shakes her head and then lets out a loud whistle to get her opponents' attention.

Ricky Simms - These guys really need to set aside their differences and just fight this out.

Henry Lesher - Tommy is just so vastly superior to his minions that they grow jealous of his looks, talent and sheer luck. It's bound to happen that they make a foolish choice and turn against him and his teachings.

Kira finally turns AJ around and kicks him in the gut and then she gives him a bulldog to the mat. She then takes a series of forearm smashes to the jaw from Tommy while Malk takes a few steps back. Malk then charges and spears Tommy to the mat. Kira then takes a knee to the gut from AJ who then gives her a flapjack to the mat. AJ then gets to his feet and kicks Tommy in the back before turning him around and giving him an eye gouges. AJ then whips Tommy off the ropes and then whips him right into Malk, sending both men to the mat. AJ nods his head and then turns his attention back to Kira, pulling her by the hair to her feet. Kira then gives AJ a jawbreaker and then she jumps to the ropes. She lands a flying headscissors off the top, bringing AJ to the mat in a heap and drawing cheers from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Pretty simple rules here. The last one who doesn't go through a table wins.

Henry Lesher - I cannot believe AJ opted to wrestle tonight after the concussion he received at the drinking contest. I mean, just how stupid is he?

Ricky Simms - After that spill off the table, doctors agreed that he had a mild concussion, but it was his decision to wrestle tonight. I'm just floored that Paulie did that to Moose. I knew about AJ's fall, but I had not heard about what they did to Moose there.

Kira rolls AJ out of the ring, next to one of the tables. He then kicks Kira in the gut, slams her head onto the table and then he picks her up with the intention of slamming her through the table. He then takes a chop block from Malk who has rolled himself out to the floor behind AJ. Malk then picks AJ up and gives him a power slam through the table, eliminating him from the match.

Ricky Simms - My God, someone has to stop AJ before he dies out there tonight.

Henry Lesher - He thinks he's Arnold from Twins, but he's really Danny DeVito.

Malk stands over AJ and then turns his attention to Kira. Kira gives Malk a series of knife edge chops to the chest which cause him to stagger backward towards a table behind him. Kira then dropkicks Malk and he falls back onto a table which does not break. Kira then climbs onto the apron where she takes a dropkick to the back from Tommy that sends her to the floor where she crashes face first into the guard railing. Malk pulls himself off the table only to take a suicide dive through the ropes from Tommy Purr which sends Malk crashing into the railing as well. Purr then gets to his feet and then takes a standing dropkick from Kira. Kira then gets to her feet. Tommy kips up only to take a spinning heel kick to the chest from Kira that sends him back to the floor again.

Ricky Simms - Kira is standing tall out there.

Henry Lesher - Well, yeah, Gary and Sal are nowhere to be found, so she only has one actual wrestler to beat out there tonight.

Kira then stands Tommy up, brings him over to one of the tables at ringside and then Tommy rams her head into it. Tommy then picks Kira up and takes a chop block from Malk. Malk then gives Tommy a back suplex to the floor and then stands over Tommy with a smirk on his face. Malk then stands Tommy up and then sets for a vertical suplex through the table, but Tommy blocks it. Tommy then picks Malk up and slams him onto the table, which does not break. Tommy then climbs onto the apron and then lands an elbow smash from there on Malk which sends him crashing through the table. Tommy then slowly gets to his feet before he turns and stands face to face with Kira.

Ricky Simms - It comes down to Kira and Tommy.

Henry Lesher - Tommy against a jobber, yep.

Tommy takes a swing at Kira, but she ducks it and then she gives Tommy an atomic drop and he staggers forward, right into a clothesline from Malk. The referee orders Malk away from ringside and Malk tries to argue he should still be in this match. The referee will have none of it as Mary again points towards the ramp and orders Malk away from the ring. Malk hangs his head and does so while Kira gets Tommy into a headlock and then gives him a bulldog to the floor. Kira then stands Tommy up and then she gives him a double leg takedown through the nearest table and the referee calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Kira wins!

Henry Lesher - It's hardly fair since Tommy already wrestled earlier tonight and then Malk was so stupid and.... bah! I may just quit over this result!

Ricky Simms - I have the paperwork here for you. I carry it for such an emergency as this.

Henry Lesher - Wow, this is an official document, Rick. No Ronald McDonald anywhere on it.

Kira makes her way away from Tommy with her arms raised, clearly very happy with her win tonight, but she turns and takes a chair shot from Rebella DeCesare. Rebella then pulls Kira by the hair back to ringside, picks her up and slams her through one of the remaining tables. She then bows to the booing fans and smiles.

Ricky Simms - Rebella had no business being out here.

Henry Lesher - Free country, Rick.

The stripper pole stands in the middle of the screen, a shiny piece of steel amidst a sleazy peeler bar. Bombshell walks in, dressed in her street clothes and looking down at her watch. Cordelia Parizi enters the shot as well, shaking her head.

Cordelia Parizi - I don't know what happened.

Bombshell - You're sure nothing happened to AJ at the drinking contest which would cause him to not show up here.

Cordelia Parizi - Paulie told me AJ was just fine, walked right out of that bar.

Bombshell - Sober enough to fight?

Cordelia Parizi - Paulie said he was a rock through that whole competition. I guess they praised his ability to hold his alcohol, too.

Bombshell - AJ?

Cordelia Parizi - Right, AJ.

Bombshell - So, if he doesn't show up then I win by default. I hardly think that's right.

Cordelia Parizi - Well, we can't award something as grand as this by default.

Bombshell - So then what happens?

Cordelia Parizi - You get a check for coming out.

Bombshell - But AJ is all right.

Cordelia Parizi - Oh, he is just fine.

Bombshell - If I find out you're lying to me, I'll see you and your sister inside the ring next week.

Cordelia Parizi - Well, there's no need for that.

Bombshell - If you're lying to me, there is every need for that.

Bombshell storms off and Cordelia looks mildly disturbed by that threat.


Freak, Himself



AJ is already inside the ring as "Dance of the Manatee" by Fair to Midland plays and Freak, Himself comes out to a loud ovation from the crowd. He quickly makes his way down the ramp to the ring, slips in under the bottom rope and then quickly gets to his feet where he stands face to face with AJ. He starts by telling AJ just to back out of this match before he suffers a permanent brain injury, but AJ refuses to back down and says that he will fight this last match tonight. "Walk With Me In Hell" by Lamb of God plays as Pyro comes out onto the stage and the crowd cheers him as he makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring while a glass chamber is lowered into place around the ring.

Ricky Simms - AJ is a madman for staying inside the ring for another match.

Henry Lesher - He's like the Brooklyn Brawler times six.

The referee calls for the bell as Pyro clotheslines AJ to the mat. Freak then gives Pyro a clothesline to the mat and then boot chokes hi, using the ropes for added leverage. Freak then releases the choke, stands Pyro up and whips him off the ropes before giving him a dropkick to the mat. Freak then gives Pyro a leg drop to the throat and then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Pyro. Freak then gets to his feet and takes a superkick from AJ Cameron. AJ then stands Pyro up, whips him through the ropes and he slams into the glass head first before he hits the floor outside the ring. AJ then drops and rolls himself out to the floor while Freak gets to his feet.

Ricky Simms - Freak is choosing this match to make his return, one of the most dangerous styles of match we have.

Henry Lesher - Well, at least he can wrestle.

AJ stands Pyro up and slams his face into the glass wall of the chamber. Freak then leaps through the ropes and lands a suicide dive onto both AJ and Pyro at ringside, sending them crashing to the floor. Freak then stands Pyro up and slams his head into the steel ring steps and then rolls him into the ring before rolling himself into the ring where he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Pyro. Freak then stands Pyro up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block, but Pyro steps out of the way and then leaps to the second rope before giving Freak a sunset flip into a pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Freak.

Ricky Simms - Nice turn around there by Pyro.

Henry Lesher - I am kind of surprised that Pyro has yet to lose since his return. Something is wrong with this company. Of course, that's kind of like saying the sky is blue.

Pyro stands Freak up as AJ rolls himself into the ring. Pyro picks Freak up and slams him to the mat and then he starts trading punches with AJ Cameron. AJ then eye gouges Pyro and whips him off the ropes before giving him a spear to the mat, drawing on every ounce of strength that he has left. AJ gets to his feet and starts putting the boots to Pyro while Freak gets to his feet behind AJ. Freak then gives AJ a backcracker and then goes for the pin. 1...2... AJ rolls his shoulder out which actually draws cheers from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - The fans are starting to grant some respect to AJ for wrestling in every match tonight.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, they really like stupid people.

Freak stands AJ up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives Pyro a knife edge chop to the chest before whipping him at AJ. Pyro spears AJ in the corner and then gives him a spinebuster to the mat. Pyro then takes a kick to the face from Freak who then goes for the pin on AJ. 1...2... kick out by AJ. Freak then stands AJ up and takes a jawbreaker from AJ who then pulls the feet out from under Freak. AJ then rains down punches to the head on Freak. Pyro then grabs AJ into a sleeperhold and AJ answers with a snap mare on Pyro. Pyro lands on his feet and then gives AJ a super kick to the face. Pyro then whips Freak through the ropes and into the side of the glass chamber, shattering the wall and causing the structure to crumble on that one side. Pyro then gives AJ a springboard DDT to the mat and then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Pyro gets the win and gets a shot at becoming the next CWA champion! His arms are raised and the crowd cheers him on.

Ricky Simms - Pyro turned down a shot at the Old School title, but he simply could not resist this match.

Henry Lesher - I want to argue with the result, but I can't. The world is all wrong.

Pyro exits the ring and heads out through the broken wall of the chamber, stepping over Freak as he does so. His arms are raised high as the crowd cheers him on and we fade to black on an image of the fourth man to enter the main event for Backdraft.
