October 4th, 2009 Edition

Backstage we see Shannon Skanes entering the building when he is headed off by Tony Parizi.

Tony Parizi - What brings you here tonight?

Shannon Skanes - There have been years of history written and I think it's nearly time to end that.

Tony Parizi - Putting a gun in your mouth?

Shannon Skanes - No, I come here tonight to make a challenge.

Tony Parizi - What sort of challenge?

Shannon Skanes - You'll know soon enough.

"Burn It To the Ground" by Nickelback plays as we see images of The Moose, Gary Barber, Tommy Purr, The Mask, Bombshell, Hoshi Yakamoto, Jack Spade, Greyson Blaze, and Malk before we head to ringside where Ricky Simms and Henry Lesher are all set to call tonight's action.

Young and the Reckless vs. Magnus Divine

"When A Man Loves A Woman" by Michael Bolton plays as Fist Rockbone and Splint Chesthair are walked onto the stage by their manager, Gerda Sideiron. She has her arms locked with theirs and they are unaware they are being followed by Magnus Divine down the ramp. He has a bucket of what we hope is water in his hands. He dumps the full bucket over Gerda, then slams the bucket into the forehead of a dazed Splint before he rolls Fist into the ring and then does the same himself. The referee calls for the bell and the crowd cheers as Magnus stands Fist up, whips him off the ropes and then clotheslines him to the mat before landing a leg drop across the throat on him and then he goes for the pin. 1...2...3! The Young and the Reckless are now winless in two matches, neither which reached a minute long.

Ricky Simms - I think these guys need to change careers.

Henry Lesher - Again, some fan favorite has to resort to cheap tactics to defeat two handsome men inside the ring.

Ricky Simms - Looks don't really affect outcomes, Doc.

Henry Lesher - Then explain why Rose Lemieux ever had a shot at a title, much less held one.

As Magnus exits the ring and starts up the ramp towards the back, Splint grabs the microphone from ring announcer Sammy Jo Johnson.

Splint Chesthair - Our manager was doused and I was dazed! That doesn't count! I will take this to Barack Obama himself if I have to! This is an injustice! We are being oppressed!

Ricky Simms - God, whatever.

The crowd cheers Magnus on as he makes his way to the stage and his opponents try to compose themselves. We then head backstage.

Myst is seen sitting in her office, going over contracts when her door opens and Shannon Skanes is seen there with Bruce Miller on one side of him and Bruce's brother Steve on the other.

Myst - What the hell do you want?

Shannon Skanes - A rematch.

Myst - What?

Shannon Skanes - I want a match next week, you and me, inside the ring to decide once and for all who runs this company.

Myst - You're insane.

Shannon Skanes - Actually, I am as sane as it gets. This company needs stability, needs direction and no one is better than me for providing that. I had though I wanted to get out, but I just can't. This business is in my blood. It is part of what defines me as a man.

Myst - If I refuse?

Steve Miller - We suspected you might. See, I have been a part of this company for a few months now, watching things backstage as a sound technician. The thing is, the company is eroding from under you. Where are the EVC? Where are Wren and Vigilante? What about Q, Rated R, or any other letters of the alphabet? Face it, this company needs a shot in the arm and a fight between the two of you might be what it needs. If you win, he's gone forever.

Bruce Miller - If you lose, your bitch ass is gone forever. Win-win.

Myst - *smirks* Did you three practice this little confrontation? Were you all set to come in here like bad asses?

Steve Miller - This is where you deflect Shannon's challenge with questions.

Shannon Skanes - They said you would do that.

Myst - Challenge accepted, but under one circumstance.

Shannon Skanes - Name it.

Myst - Lumberjack match. I name the lumberjacks.

Shannon Skanes - *pauses and smiles* Okay, let's do it this way. Twenty lumberjacks and we each name ten of them.

Myst - Deal.

She shakes hands with Shannon and the Miller Brothers smile and nod their heads.

Steve Miller - Verbal contract is made.

RC Pride vs. Health Care Crisis

"Sell You Beautiful" by Rx Bandits plays as RC Pride makes her way onto the stage with the half Anarchy Diva belt over her shoulder. She makes her way down the ramp, followed by Greyson Blaze while the fans give them both standing ovations. RC steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring while Greyson accepts the Diva belt from her and places it over the left shoulder while his tag title belt stays over the right. RC's music fades and then we hear "Peace Frogs" by The Doors and The Surgeon steps out onto the stage with Selena and Martina Garcia behind him, the twins who are his latest creation. They are wearing matches white two piece leather outfits, each with Red Cross symbols on the back of the tops and on the side of the bottoms. Their names are written in black lettering on the backs of the bottoms of their outfits. They curse in Spanish towards the ring as they make their way down the ramp and the crowd gives them a mixed reaction.

Ricky Simms - I thought The Surgeon had stepped away from this business forever, but he has found odd ones in these two. RC challenged the divas to a battle royal, but since these two were the only ones who answered her challenge, this handicap match was born.

Henry Lesher - Hey, they're all handicapped all right. At least the billing is right.

Martina rolls herself under the bottom rope into the ring and jumps to her feet while the referee calls for the bell. Martina tries to slap RC across the face, but RC ducks it and then gives Martina a knee to the gut followed by a gutwrench suplex to the mat and then she goes for the quick pin. 1...2... Martina kicks out while The Surgeon applauds from ringside. RC then stands Martina up, whips her off the ropes and then goes for a dropkick, but Martina manages to stop in time to avoid it and then she starts putting the boots to RC Pride. Martina then pulls RC to the ropes and places her throat over the bottom rope and then chokes her with it while the referee threatens to disqualify Health Care Crisis. Martina breaks the choke in time, then stands RC up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a backdrop to the mat before tagging in Selena. Selena and Martina then give RC a double vertical suplex to the mat. Martina then exits the ring while Selena stands RC up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a dropkick to the mat.

Ricky Simms - Fantastic action in this one.

Henry Lesher - Fantastic? Your standards drop every week, Rick.

Selena then stands RC up, whips her into a neutral corner and then goes for a handspring back elbow, but RC steps out of the way and then she gives Selena a bulldog to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Selena Garcia. RC then stands Selena up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a dropkick to the mat. RC then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top. Martina shakes the top rope to knock RC off balance and RC falls onto the top rope. Selena kips up to her feet and then does a hand stand to go for a head scissors on RC. Instead, RC does a somersault from her perch to the mat and then dropkicks Selena out of her hand stand with a shot to the chest. RC then goes for another pin attempt. 1...2... Martina breaks it up by kicking RC in the back. The referee threatens to disqualify Martina and escorts her from the ring while The Surgeon tosses a cloth into the ring to Selena. Selena holds the cloth over the mouth of a surprised RC and she quickly fades while Martina continues arguing with the referee. Selena then tosses the cloth out of the ring and places an already out cold RC into a sleeper hold. Martian exits the ring and the referee checks on RC. He sees she is out cold and calls for the bell immediately.

Ricky Simms - Chloroform? That could kill someone.

Henry Lesher - Not in small doses. Hey, I know The Surgeon well and have for seven years now. If these girls are trained to misbehave, then I will become a fan of theirs. That's rare, haven't been a fan of a diva since Lunacy Muse.

Martina and Selena embrace outside the ring while Casey Braun tries to wake RC Pride. Greyson Blaze then blocks the exit of the diva tag team and has a few words for The Surgeon.

Ricky Simms - Looks like Greyson wants a tag match with them.

Henry Lesher - He is already saddled with a loser girl, why lose with his girl?

Health Care Crisis moves on as Greyson slips into the ring. He checks on RC and shouts at the retreating girls that they are cowards. We then look backstage.

Tony Parizi is seen pacing in his office when Myst steps in.

Myst - You wanted to see me?

Tony Parizi - I invested in the CWA almost two years ago now. I am staring down the barrel of Shannon Skanes getting the power and you being gone.

Myst - I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Tony Parizi - Cute, but if you lose, then I am gone too. Maybe I need to really get back into the waste management game.

Myst - You got out when?

Tony Parizi - Hey, I am not as into that as I was. Outside of hiring Adin Vick and taking care of the Ray Dees problem, I have kept my nose clean.

Myst - And now you get to bail on me.

Tony Parizi - No, I am not bailing on you, just if you don't emerge as the winner... I don't see what's left for me here.

Myst - Well, I have been meaning to take a vacation.

Tony Parizi - Any ideas on who your ten lumberjacks will be.

Myst - Oh, I know who to call. Trust me. We aren't going anywhere, no matter how nice a vacation would be.

Tony Parizi - I can imagine.

Myst exits the office and Tony shakes his head.

Gary Barber vs. Malk

"Voices" by Rev Theory plays as Malk steps out onto the stage. The crowd gives him a warm reception and he gets a decent pop as he makes his way down the ramp towards the ring. He stops at ringside and shakes hands with a fan in the front row and then signs a T-shirt for another fan before he makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He tests the ropes while his music fades and then we hear "Hollow Man" by Hollow Men and we see TV champ Gary Barber stepping out onto the stage to a loud chorus of boos. He makes his way down the ramp to the ring, his eyes focused on Malk the entire way. He then pulls himself onto the ring apron and steps through the ropes into the ring which allows the referee to call for the bell.

Ricky Simms - This should be a solid match. If Malk wins or gets a draw, he faces Greyson Blaze in a hardcore match for the Hardcore Title.

Henry Lesher - Sadly, neither man is hardcore and neither man is Tommy Purr. Tommy needs to wrestle in all matches and abandon his stable of not quite wrestlers.

Malk locks up with Gary Barber. They wrestle against the ropes and then Barber steps back for a clean break only to land a series of knife edge chops to the chest on Malk. Gary Barber then whips Malk off the ropes and then gives him a knee to the gut followed by a knee lift to the forehead and then gives him a side Russian leg sweep to the mat. Barber then goes for the quick pin on Malk. 1...2... kick out by Malk. Gary Barber then stands Malk up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges in for a shoulder block only to miss it as Malk side steps it. Malk then picks Barber up and slams him to the mat and then puts the boots to him. Barber quickly scrambles under the bottom rope and out of the ring to the floor where he signals for a timeout. Instead, Malk baseball slides into a kick to the chest on Barber which sends him backwards into the steel guard railing.

Ricky Simms - Malk is showing a lot of fight tonight.

Henry Lesher - That's because he knows he is in over his head. He's wrestling scared.

Malk stands Barber up and slams his forehead into the guard railing and then rolls him back into the ring before doing the same himself. Malk then gets to his feet quickly and lands a series of punches to the head on Barber. Malk then picks Barber up and power slams him to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Gary Barber.

Ricky Simms - Malk is in full control at this point.

Henry Lesher - That's not meant to last.

Malk stands Barber up, whips him off the ropes and then both men clothesline one another to the mat. The referee starts counting them both down. The fans start a chant for Malk which seems to spur him on as he then starts pulling himself to his feet. Malk then kicks Gary in the ribs before standing him up and whipping him into the corner buckle. Malk charges into the corner and takes knees to the chest from Barber. Barber then jumps to the second rope and then lands a clothesline to the mat on Malk from there. Barber then applies a figure four leglock on Malk and the referee checks for a submission, Malk refusing to give up. Malk reaches out for the ropes. Barber struggles to hold Malk away from the ropes even as Malk inches closer and closer. Malk then snags the bottom rope with his hand and the referee forces the break of the hold.

Ricky Simms - Malk manages to stay in this match.

Henry Lesher - For now, but Barber will take him down. Barber is a main event guy. Malk is not.

Malk gets to his feet and takes a series of punches to the head from Gary Barber. Malk then gives Barber a knee to the gut. Barber answers with a knee lift of his own and then gives Malk an arm drag to the middle of the ring. Malk then gets to his feet only to take a clothesline over the top rope and out to the floor from Gary Barber. Barber then goes to the corner buckle and climbs to the top rope. Barber leaps off the top at Malk gets to his feet. Barber is caught in mid-air and then takes a spinning power slam to the floor from Malk. Malk then gets to his feet and rolls himself into the ring while the referee then starts to count out Gary Barber.

Ricky Simms - If Barber is counted out, this sets Malk up for a title match next Sunday.

Henry Lesher - It's his only hope to beat Gary Barber. He certainly cannot beat him by pinfall or submission. This is because he sucks.

Barber gets to his feet on the floor and then pulls himself onto the ring apron. Malk then rakes his eyes along the top rope before he then hip tosses Barber over the top rope and back into the ring. Malk then applies an arm bar. Barber quickly gets to his feet and then gives Malk a series of forearm smashes to the jaw. Barber then hip tosses Malk over the top rope to the floor. Barber then rolls himself out to the floor as well. He stands Malk up and they start trading rights and lefts. Malk then whips Gary Barber over the guard railing and into the aisle between the fans. Malk steps over the railing and starts brawling with Barber in the aisle while the referee reaches a ten count and then calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Malk earns a draw and thus is in the Hardcore Title match next week.

Henry Lesher - No one wants to pay to see that, Rick.

Security rushes in to try and separate Malk and Gary Barber, though they are not quick to break things up and clearly there is unfinished business here.

Kathy Smith is seen walking backstage and she walks straight into the men's locker room. A stunned Magnus Divine is wrapped in a towel and steps back from her. She storms through to find Shannon Skanes and his son Noah near the back of the room.

Shannon Skanes - Still raiding men's locker rooms are we?

Kathy Smith - So you book me in this Trick Or Treat match and now you're fighting Myst?

Shannon Skanes - Yeah, those things are not related.

Kathy Smith - You have your hands all over both.

Noah Skanes - I guess this doesn't involve me.

Noah steps away and is attacked by Daniel McCoy with a chair. McCoy gets in a few stiff shots to the head and back before Shannon Skanes shoves him away and McCoy retreats with a smile on his face.

Daniel McCoy - Will you answer my challenge now, kid?

McCoy runs off with security close behind while Shannon and Kathy help Noah up.

Shannon Skanes - Do we get an explanation?

Noah Skanes - McCoy challenged me in the freaking parking lot. He said he can find a team to take down the entire Originals roster. I laughed him off. I guess he doesn't take kindly to laughter.

Kathy Smith - He's a nutjob, Noah. You know how to pick your opponents.

Noah Skanes - They pick me, Kathy. Well, I guess I'll throw down with him then and we can put my title on the line.

Shannon Skanes - You only wrestle on Warriors.

Noah Skanes - Next week, I wrestle at Dead By Dawn.

"She Wolf " By Shakira plays as Lacy Gerbrand poses on stage with Bishop Spade following close behind. The crowd is giving them both a good pop as they make their way down to the ring. Lacy slides into the ring stretching out her legs as she waits for her mystery opponent.

Ricky Simms- Lacy in her first singles match here tonight against a member from the CWA Originals Roster

Henry Lesher- Great I should have stayed at home

"So Hot" By Kid Rock plays as Jack Spade walks out to a loud chorus of boos, He smirks all the way to the ring as he tells the camera the mystery opponent is actually him. Bishop is quick to get in Jack's face as he shrugs her off and enters the ring. The ref starts the bell as she is reluctant but goes for a lock up. Jack cuts her off quick with a kick to the gut and a hard body slam. Jack stands on her hair and poses for the booing crowd as he smirks at Bishop at ringside. Jack stands her up, only to knock Lacy back down with a stiff standing clothesline.

Ricky Simms - What the hell is wrong with Jack!?

Henry Lesher - He decided to start taking out the trash in the company

Jack backs up a couple steps and waits for Lacy to slowly rise. Jack charges that couple steps and delivers that Lady Luck kick to Lacy's head. Jack stands over Lacy and yells in her face, telling her she has no place in the ring. Jack hooks her up in a Texas Cloverleaf, He drops to one knee while driving his other knee in her back. She immediately starts to tap as the ref calls for the bell awarding Jack the submission victory but Jack doesn't let go.

Ricky Simms - Jack is going to break her in half

Henry Lesher - Jack told me that he was debuting his new submission finish The Lasting Impression and he said he was going to break someone's spine with it.

Bishop and the ref try and pry Jack off as other security hit the ring. It takes a bunch of them to finally pull Jack off. Jack scurries to the outside of the ring, grabbing mic and smiling at his damage while medical staff come to tend to Lacy.

Jack Spade - Baby sis! I told you that you have no place here and you force me to take action. So at Dead by Dawn I challenge you to a match. If you win I will leave you alone and even aid your wrestling career but If you lose well you can obviously tell by Lacy what is going to happen.

Jack just laughs as he walks up the ramp staring at Bishop who curses his name while checking on Lacy Gerbrand.

Jordan Gibson is seen backstage in the hallway with a clipboard in hand and apparently going over some numbers as she can be heard counting quietly. Scavenger is seen entering the shot

Scavenger - You got a minute?

Jordan Gibson - What do you want?

Scavenger - I heard that you're in charge of the divas again.

Jordan Gibson - You want to explore your feminine side?

Scavenger - Look, no jokes here, I want you to call off the Trick Or Treat match next week.

Jordan Gibson - That is a joke.

Scavenger - My wife is not an object to be leered at.

Jordan Gibson - The more you say it, the more matches she signs up for like this. You do understand that, right?

Scavenger - Then I will referee the match.

Jordan Gibson - No, not a chance.

Lauren steps into the shot, not looking impressed.

Lauren Strong - Jake, what are you doing?

Scavenger - Just talking with the GM here.

Lauren Strong - You had better be hitting on her, because if you're trying to get me out of the match next week, I'll slap you across the face.

Scavenger - I was totally hitting on her.

Jordan Gibson - No, slap him across the face.

Lauren Strong - Give it up, Jake. Men find me attractive and you were at the strip club last week.

Scavenger - Who told you?

Lauren Strong - My uncle did.

Scavenger - That stupid Eagle.

Jordan storms off in one direction, Scavenger in the other and Jordan rolls her eyes before getting back to work.

Bombshell & Rose Lemieux vs. Hoshi Yakamoto & Jack Spade

"Piece of Me" by Britney Spears plays as Bombshell and Rose Lemieux make their way onto the stage. They get a warm ovation from the crowd and quickly make their way down the ramp to ringside. Bombshell slides under the bottom rope into the ring while Rose steps up onto the apron and then takes her place in their corner. Their music fades and then we hear "So Hot" by Kid Rock and Jack Spade steps out onto the stage with Hoshi close behind. Spade gets booed loudly by the crowd and smiles and waves to the fans. He and Hoshi slowly make their way down the ramp while profanities are shouted at Jack Spade.

Ricky Simms - Apparently the fans are not impressed with Spade this week.

Henry Lesher - Look, he is simply ridding the CWA of horrible divas. That's a good thing.

Spade steps up onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. The referee calls for the bell and Hoshi is seen taking her place in their corner. Spade moves in and locks up with Bombshell only to trip her down to the mat and then he applies a headlock on her. Bombshell gets to her feet and backs Jack to the ropes. He then knees her in the face and gives her a swinging neckbreaker to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Bombshell. Spade then stands Bombshell up, whips her off the ropes and then backdrops her to the mat. He then tags in Hoshi Yakamoto. She steps into the ring and Spade steps out. Spade starts arguing with fans in the front row, his back to the action.

Ricky Simms - Spade really needs to focus here.

Henry Lesher - No he doesn't. Who needs focus to beat these two?

Hoshi puts the boots to Bombshell. She then stands Bombshell up, whips her off the ropes and then dropkicks her to the mat. Hoshi then goes to the corner buckle and climbs the ropes. Bombshell gets to her feet and Hoshi leaps. Bombshell catches Hoshi in mid-air and spins her to the mat with a overhead belly to belly suplex. Bombshell then rolls to her corner and tags in Rose Lemieux. Rose charges into the ring and starts putting the boots to Hoshi. Rose then stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and goes for a backdrop, but Hoshi shoulder blocks Rose to the mat and then she picks Rose up and slams her to the mat. Hoshi then goes to tag in Jack, but he is still arguing with fans in the front row. Hoshi calls out to him, so her turns and she tags him in. Jack shakes his head and says he is having fun fighting with fans. Hoshi shakes her head and exits the ring.

Ricky Simms - Jack's ego is out of control.

Henry Lesher - Then give him a challenge.

Jack steps into the ring and then he gives Rose Lemieux a heart punch which silences the crowd. Jack then shoves Rose to the mat and then places a boot on her chest for the pin. 1...2...3! Jack Spade and Hoshi get the win and the boos from the crowd are louder as Jack bows inside the ring. Bombshell charges into the ring and shoves Jack out through the ropes to the floor. That draws loud cheers from the fans.

Ricky Simms - Jack showing what a bully he is here tonight.

Henry Lesher - I like it. End it fast. Get rid of that Rose Lemieux girl.

Jack gets to his feet on the floor and then resumes his argument with the fans. Security keeps them apart while we then look backstage.

Malk is seen with Neriah Sweet in his locker room.

Neriah Sweet - Malk, it appears that you will once again be fighting with Greyson Blaze and gold will be on the line. Your thoughts?

Malk - There is a mutual respect between Greyson and myself. Of course, I know I am due and this match will show that. I am more hungry than he is.

Neriah Sweet - You think so?

Malk - That's obvious. I am bigger, stronger and I have that fire to be the champ. Greyson, and I mean him no disrespect, just can't match me on those levels.

Greyson Blaze - *as he steps into the shot* That's news to me.

Malk stands nose to nose with Greyson.

Greyson Blaze - See, I saw us as equals really. We're both members of the same group. We stick up for each other. I see this match as a chance to prove ourselves and it could go either way.

Malk - I respect you, Greyson, but you have never beaten Moose. I have. I have held gold in this company and I am built for the Hardcore Title. I can intimidate people.

Greyson Blaze - I can't?

Malk - You can try.

Greyson Blaze - I can beat anyone on any given night.

Malk - I know you're a good wrestle. I just see this match as a big step for me and you'll put in a good showing.

Greyson Blaze - I'll show you a good showing. I'll show you hardcore. I'll see you next week.

Greyson storms off and Malk shrugs.

The Moose vs. Greyson Blaze

"Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits plays as The Moose makes his way onto the stage with the Old School Title over his shoulder. He makes his way down the ramp and high fives fans on his way around the ring. He then hands his title belt off to the timekeeper before he pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. His music then fades and we hear "The Day I Died" by Six as Greyson Blaze makes his way onto the stage. He looks to be in a foul mood after what happened to RC Pride and then the discussion he just had with Malk. Predictably, RC Pride is not walking him to the ring.

Ricky Simms - Greyson is already having a rough night tonight.

Henry Lesher - That's because he's a poor wrestler and he's made bad choices in life.

Greyson paces at ringside for a few moments and then finally steps up onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. The referee calls for the bell and Greyson charges at Moose and lands a series of punches and kicks on him before eye gouging him and then whipping him into the corner buckle. Greyson then plants a boot to the throat on Moose in the corner, breaking it in time to avoid the disqualification. Greyson then whips Moose to the opposite corner and charges for a shoulder block, but Moose steps out of the way and rams Greyson's shoulder into the steel corner post. Moose then pulls him from the corner and then gives him a pump handle slam to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Greyson.

Ricky Simms - Blaze had the edge early, but Moose is turning it around.

Henry Lesher - That's because Greyson sucks.

Moose stands Greyson up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a clothesline to the mat. Moose then knee drops Greyson to the forehead and then applies a sleeper hold on Greyson. We then see The Surgeon and the Garcia twins come out behind him and this draws boos from the crowd. They start to make their way down the ramp only to be attacked from behind by a chair wielding RC Pride. Inside the ring, Greyson reaches for the ropes while refusing to submit to Moose's hold. Greyson lunges and manages to grab the middle rope to force the break of the hold. Greyson then pulls himself out of the ring for a breather, but with Moose close behind.

Ricky Simms - Greyson is trying to get back into it while RC tries to gain revenge on Health Care Crisis for their actions earlier tonight.

Henry Lesher - Well, people without talent have to cheat to gain revenge.

Greyson starts trading rights and lefts with The Moose and then whips Moose into the steel guard railing, shoulder first. Greyson then rolls The Moose into the ring before he looks to the ramp where RC Pride is running Martina and Selena off. The Surgeon, however, has a crow bar in his hand and he clubs RC to the back of the neck with it. Greyson charges up the ramp towards The Surgeon. Inside the ring, Moose shakes his head and the referee continues to count Greyson towards a count out. Greyson clotheslines The Surgeon to the ramp and then attends to RC as the referee reaches a ten count and calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Moose didn't want to win the match that way.

Henry Lesher - But he won and Greyson again fails. This is a theme with him.

Greyson helps RC up and helps her towards the back while Health Care Crisis and The Surgeon stay down on the ramp, the crowd cheering both Moose inside the ring and Greyson outside of it.

Shannon Skanes is with Kathy Smith in the locker room, where we wonder if they are still arguing from earlier tonight.

Kathy Smith - Alright, let's get this straight then. You are willing to admit it.

Shannon Skanes - This is stupid. We're not in high school.

Kathy Smith - You and I have something here. Myst is in your past. She is not coming back.

Shannon Skanes - We had a night...

Kathy Smith - Which happened once and then she went back to not answering your calls. If you beat her next week, we buy out Tony Parizi and we run the CWA together.

Shannon Skanes - Then I get accused of favoring the Glamour Girls.

Kathy Smith - Shannon, they are all Glamour Girls. The CWA is home to girls who can fight. We don't pretend to be tougher than we are, smarter than we are or more beautiful than we are. It's not about proving ourselves against other companies, just against ourselves.

Shannon Skanes - Call yourself whatever you want. With the economy as it is, we need to stay out of legal trouble. That means getting the waste management types out of here.

Kathy Smith - Including Lydia and Cordelia?

Shannon Skanes - Lydia seems to be distancing herself from that element, but Cordelia for sure.

Kathy Smith - What about Sal?

Shannon Skanes - Sal is history. No one has heard from him in months.

The Mask vs. Tommy Purr

"Coffin Fodder" by Cradle of Filth plays as The Mask makes his way onto the stage. The crowd boos him as he makes his way down the ramp to the ring for his shot at becoming the World champion. He pauses at ringside for a moment, his head down, and then he makes his way up the ring steps onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. He then tests the ropes while his music fades and then we hear "Downfall" by Trust Company and Tommy Purr makes his way onto the stage where the crowd gives him a solid pop. He stands with the belt raised high over his head and then he makes his way down the ramp to the ring. He shows the belt to the camera and then steps up onto the ring apron, tosses his title to the timekeeper and then steps through the ropes into the ring which allows the referee to call for the bell.

Ricky Simms - World Title on the line this week.

Henry Lesher - Finally, a match I want to watch. It's about time.

Tommy locks up with The Mask. The Mask then kicks Tommy in the gut and then gives him a headbutt before whipping him off the ropes and then giving him a hip toss to the mat. The Mask then applies an abdominal stretch and the crowd starts a chant for Tommy while he refuses to submit to The Mask's hold.  Tommy reaches for the ropes while The Mask tries to strengthen his hold. Tommy then powers out of the hold by giving The Mask a hip toss to the mat. Tommy then whips The Mask off the ropes and backdrops him over the top rope to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Good back and forth action in this one.

Henry Lesher - That's what happens when you have two actual wrestlers inside the ring.

Tommy then goes to the corner buckle and makes his way to the top. He leaps off and lands a double axe handle smash to the back on The Mask. Tommy then stands The Mask up and gives him a short arm clothesline to the floor and then puts the boots to him. Tommy then stands The Mask up and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself into the ring. He pulls The Mask to the middle of the ring and then applies a sharpshooter on The Mask. Mask refuses to submit when asked by the referee as he reaches out for the ropes.

Ricky Simms - Tommy wants it over while The Mask is struggling to stay in this one.

Henry Lesher - This match will go on for awhile yet, and I will love every moment of it.

The Mask slowly pulls himself towards the ropes while Tommy struggles to maintain the hold. Tommy releases the hold before The Mask can reach the ropes and he tries to apply an STF, but The Mask grabs the ropes and the referee forces Tommy to back off. The Mask quickly gets to his feet and then greets Tommy with a straight kick to the chest followed by a clothesline to the mat. The Mask then boot chokes Tommy, using the top rope for added leverage. The Mask releases that before the five count, then stands Tommy up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick to the mat. The Mask then goes to the corner and climbs to the second rope. Tommy gets to his feet and The Mask shoulder blocks him from the ropes back to the mat where The Mask then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr.

Ricky Simms - Very close call there for the champ.

Henry Lesher - Tommy is thrown off by facing a real challenge this week.

The Mask stands Tommy up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a clothesline over the top rope to the floor. The Mask takes a few steps back while the referee counts. Tommy gets to his feet and The Mask waits for him to pull himself onto the apron before kicking him in the gut, sending him back to the floor. The Mask takes a step back again while Tommy tries to regroup and a chant for the champion starts. Tommy gets to his feet and then slips under the bottom rope into the ring where he takes a leg drop to the back of the neck from The Mask who then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr.

Ricky Simms - That was close.

Henry Lesher - Tommy needs to ramp it up here. I know he can.

The Mask stands Tommy up, then whips him off the ropes and gives him a kick to the gut. He goes for a snap suplex on Tommy, but Tommy blocks it and then gives a vertical suplex to The Mask. Tommy then stands The Mask up and gives him a second vertical suplex to the mat. Tommy then stands The Mask up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick to the mat. Tommy then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. The Mask gets to his feet and takes a missile dropkick to the chest from Tommy who then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by The Mask.

Ricky Simms - Lots of close calls here as both men try to finish this match.

Henry Lesher - Tommy has the momentum now.

Tommy stands The Mask up, whips him off the ropes and then goes for a clothesline, but The Mask ducks it and then gives Tommy an inverted DDT to the mat. The Mask then stands Tommy up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a shoulder block there before sitting Tommy on the top rope. The Mask then climbs and sets for a superplex on Tommy. Tommy instead shoves The Mask back down to the mat and then perches himself on the top rope. The Mask gets to his feet and takes a flying cross body from Tommy who then tries for the pin. 1...2... kick out by The Mask. Tommy stands The Mask up, takes a knee to the gut from The Mask who then picks Tommy up and then gives him the Needle Driver to the mat. The Mask then stands Tommy up, again kicks him in the gut, picks him up and gives him another Needle Driver to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2...3! The Mask is the new World champion!

Ricky Simms - The Mask just beat Tommy Purr!

Henry Lesher - That was very impressive.

The Mask rolls himself out of the ring and tells the camera he never stopped believing in himself. He picks the belt up from the timekeeper and then turns to come face to face with Gary Barber. The two jaw at one another while a stunned crowd boos the result. We then hear "Place For My Head" by Linkin Park and Myst steps out onto the stage.

Myst - Okay, so The Mask is the new champ and we have controversy again. The Mask faces Gary Barber next week for the title. Problem is, Tommy should be in there as well. The other problem is, The Moose is also itching for a fight and would love to tear into any of the three of you. Next week, at Dead By Dawn, the four of you will square off in an Iron Man Match. For 60 minutes, you'll fight and the wrestler who scores the most wins in those 60 minutes will be the champion. The three who fail to wrest the title that night will then square off the following week on Overdrive to determine the first CWA Superior Champion. hey, this might be the last chance I get to make a match, so I might as well make it a damned good one.

The crowd cheers the announcement while Tommy starts to come to inside the ring. The Mask and Gary Barber continue to argue while the show goes off the air.
