September 26th, 2010

"The Outsider" by A Perfect Circle plays as we watch footage from Backdraft showing Lucy Johnson winning the World Title. We then see images of Slim and Lucy arguing and fighting during the weeks between that moment and where we are at now. We also see images of First Degree winning his belt, JGH battling with his opponents over the last few weeks leading up to this moment and then Austin Houston having words with Rated R at Restricted last week. We see Corina with Shannon Skanes, Rated R making the save for Kathy Smith and then Noah Skanes bloodying himself last week at Restricted with the image of Samson decking Ricky Simms at ringside last week. We then see Shannon Skanes backstage, putting on his wrestling gear when Ray Dees enters the picture.

Ray Dees - Shannon, are you wrestling tonight?

Shannon Skanes - I am doing what I should have done right from the start.

Ray Dees - Against Rated R?

Shannon Skanes - Things have spiraled out of control and that's my fault. I have to put a stop to this tonight.

Without elaborating on his meaning to that statement, Shannon gets up, looks at himself in his locker's mirror and heads out the locker room door. Ray gives the camera a nervous smile and shrugs.

"Gold Dust Woman" by Hole plays as Kathy Smith comes out onto the stage where the crowd gives her a loud ovation. She stands on stage for a few moments and waves to her fans before she makes her way down the ramp to ringside and then slips under the bottom rope into the ring. She's wearing her wrestling gear and doesn't look like she's very happy. She has a microphone in hand.

Kathy Smith - Fans, it's good to see everyone here. I wish I were here for something a little lighter than this is going to be, but let me start by bringing out a few friends. "Cinnamon Girl" by Type O Negative plays as Lauren Strong, Kaleigh Simms, Missy, Heidi Hawkins, Shawna Miller and Rose Lemieux make their way onto the stage and then head down the ramp as well.

Henry Lesher - Well, if it isn't the land of the misfit tramps.

Ricky Simms - That's a little harsh there, Doc.

As the ladies enter the ring, all wearing wrestling gear and apparently match ready, Kathy then continues what she came out to discuss.

Kathy Smith - Now, tonight Lucy Johnson defends her title against Slim Pickens. Tricia Smith, my sister, squares off against Kira Yakamoto for the Women's Title. This should be a great night for the ladies, but there is a larger issue going on here. You see, I know what's going on Lydia. I know what you're doing. That's why I have these ladies here with me. Lauren has faced you before. Shawna has faced a great many like you before. Rose is in the process of being buried by your actions, same with Kaleigh here. Missy and Heidi are in line for a push of their own, but you're putting yourself in there as a wedge to prevent things from happening as they should and I know why. I know, Lydia, so let's get this out for everyone to see.

Kathy lowers her microphone as "Woke Up This Morning" by Leonard Cohen plays and Lydia Parizi steps out onto the stage where the crowd boos her. She is flanked by Athena and Chastity as she makes her way down the ramp to ringside. She refuses to step into the ring, but she is willing to talk as she grabs a microphone from ringside.

Lydia Parizi - Well, look at the almost talented women inside the ring as Kathy takes time for herself and away from the real talents of the CWA. This is why I had to do what I did, why you got attacked as you did and why it won't stop. Bring a ragtag group of women to the ring if you want, but I have an allegiance among my team that you don't have.

Chastity - *taking the microphone from Lydia* You have been jealous of me for some time now Kathy, since I proved I can beat women you can't. You're hollow and forgettable and that drives you insane. You're right about one thing. Lydia has plans, but this isn't just her plan. Athena and I had plenty to do with this, too, as the Glamour Girls make their return.

Kathy Smith - A team that might have won one match total as a team.

The crowd boos as Samantha Stryker, Kelly Buchanan, Corina and  Laurie Smith make their way onto the stage. Corina has a microphone as well.

Corina - Kathy, you're wrong. The Glamour Girls were a force in this industry. We garnered plenty of attention without needing the kind of props you did to be noticed.

Kathy Smith - Is that why you're trying to sleep with my husband?

Corina - He'd be mine if I wanted him.

Kathy drops and roll out of the ring, heading up the ramp. The ladies inside the ring exit and the brawl is on. The fans cheer as the women fight at ringside and on the ramp. Kathy does manage to get to Corina and gives her a clothesline to the ramp before putting the boots to her while the fans cheer. Security forces them come out to split everyone up, but they are actually dressed in riot gear and swing batons at the ladies wildly.

Ricky Simms - This is overkill.

Henry Lesher - Ryan said he would fix the security problem. This is a good fix. I like it.

Security team members stand over the fallen women while the crowd has a mixed reaction, combined with some shock at seeing women take such a beating from a supposed security team.

Wyatt Gibson is seen backstage with Neriah Sweet.

Neriah Sweet - Wyatt, it has been some time since we saw you in the CWA. What's the reason for the visit?

Wyatt Gibson - I was told that the CWA had me on a shortlist of people for the GM job. It would be nice to make matches again.

Neriah Sweet - But you were fired for the contracts people were getting.

Wyatt Gibson - Rightfully so, I will admit. After some time off to reflect, I see things differently.

Neriah Sweet - And you would come back?

Wyatt Gibson - i can't see who else they could go with here.

Rated R then steps into the picture.

Rated R - Well, there are a few ways we can go. You see, Wyatt, there are three shows now. I am a firm believer in democracy, so I intend to allow a vote to decide who runs my show. I am far too busy to make every match every time it's on. I just need someone who can think like me.

Wyatt Gibson - Does anyone think like you?

Rated R - Someone does, yes. Maybe you're mystified as to who could possibly run my show, but I have a good idea.

Neriah Sweet - Myst?

Rated R - I never said that/ Don't put words in my mouth. Now, Wyatt, nameless backstage nobody girl, I have a match to win and a casino running drunk to fire.

Ryan makes his exit and we head to the ring.
 
Rated R vs. Tough Eagle

"Wild Hearted Son" by The Cult plays as Tough Eagle comes out to the cheers of the fans. He doesn't waste any time in making his way down the ramp to ringside and then makes his way up the ring steps onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. He paces inside the ring as his music fades and then we hear "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out to loud boos from the crowd. He stands on stage and looks down at Eagle inside the ring before Ryan lowers his head. He makes his way to ringside and then pulls himself onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. The referee calls for the bell and Ryan asks Eagle just to leave the ring and save himself from the embarrassment. Eagle gives Ryan the finger and spits in his direction. Rated R charges for a clothesline, but gets caught with a wicked knife edge chop by Eagle who then whips Ryan off the ropes and gives him a spinning power slam to the mat where he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R who then pulls himself out to the floor and asks for a timeout.

Ricky Simms - Ryan's ego didn't show him how tough this man really is.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, he is almost as tough as Scavenger. Oh, I am being sarcastic for any of you idiots at home who don't know that.

Rated R pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps back into the ring. He moves in for a lock up with Eagle, kicks him in the gut and then goes for a headbutt, but that sends him reeling instead. Eagle then gives Rated R a thundering knife edge chop that sends Rated R to the mat and then Eagle gives Rated R an elbow smash to the throat and then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. Eagle then stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and Rated R ducks a clothesline before he gives Eagle a knee to the gut and then gives him a swinging neckbreaker to the mat. Ryan then goes to the nearest corner and climbs to the second rope. He jumps down from there and gives Eagle a scissor kick to the back of the neck, sending him face first to the mat. Rated R then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Eagle.

Ricky Simms - The action goes back and forth in this one.

Henry Lesher - But this is Ryan's match, Rick. There is no doubt as to who wins this one. None.

Rated R stands Eagle up, eye gouges him and then places his throat over the top rope and chokes him with it. He releases that choke before the referee can reach a five count and DQ him and then gives Eagle a body slam to the mat. Rated R then gives Eagle a leg drop to the chest and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Eagle. Rated R then stands Eagle up, whips him through the ropes and out to the floor before Ryan heads out of the ring. He stands Eagle up and whips him shoulder first into the corner post. He then stands Eagle up and rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself. Rated R then stands over Eagle and tells him this is what happens to people who don't do their job right. He kicks Eagle in the side of the head, then stands him up only to take a vicious knife edge chop to the chest. Eagle then gives Rated R an inverted atomic drop and then picks him up into a bear hug, The referee checks for a submission, but Rated R refuses to give up when asked.

Ricky Simms - He can't take Eagle lightly here. The big man is still in good shape.

Henry Lesher - But Ryan is in better shape. Eagle never had that level of talent and still doesn't.

Rated R pulls back from the hold Eagle has on him and rakes the eyes of the big man, weakening the hold. Rated R then gives Eagle an elbow to the chest and then a second which weakens the hold further. Rated R then ducks out of the hold and gives Eagle a gutwrench suplex to the mat. He then stands over Eagle and shakes his head. He grabs at his back and tries to shake off the effects of the bear hug while standing Eagle up. He whips Eagle off the ropes and then backdrops him to the mat. He then looks to the fans and says that he is ready to end this. He stands eagle up, then picks him up and delivers the Restricted on Eagle before going for the pin. 1...2...3! Rated R gets the win over the security leader tonight.

Ricky Simms - It was a tough fight, but Ryan won it.

Henry Lesher - As I predicted. Always have faith in the evil one.

Rated R has his arms raised in victory, but we then see Shannon Skanes slipping into the ring and attacking Rated R. He spears Ryan to the mat and then chokes him with both hands. Rated R tries to kick Shannon off, to no avail. We then see the riot ready security team sending six of its members into the ring where they attack the CWA owner with their batons and even strike him with their shields. The crowd boos while Rated R escapes the ring and heads towards the back.

Ricky Simms - This new security team is definitely overkill.

Henry Lesher - They're fantastic. They need to have their own calendar.

Kathy Smith is standing with Missy backstage. Corina enters the shot, Missy standing between them.

Missy - Okay, let's hash this out ladies.

Kathy Smith - Shannon doesn't need you as his secretary.

Corina - He hired me, so that's not your call.

Kathy Smith - You know, we can work this out in a way that works for both of us.

Corina - Really? How?

Kathy Smith - Lydia has been wanting her NC-17 match for some time now. You Glamour Girls come out and face my Sinsational Seven team.

Corina - Clever, a play on the name of your husband's old stable? Can't you come up with anything of your own?

Kathy Smith - You going to accept my challenge or be a whiny bitch about it?

Corina - What's the next pay per view?

Missy - Dead By Dawn.

Corina - Yeah, sure, let's do that then. But next week, at Breakthrough, I want you one on one Kathy.

Kathy Smith - *shrugs* You know what? You've got it.

Corina heads off while more of the riot gear equipped security team look on in the background. We have to wonder if this is the beginning of martial law in the CWA.

Joey K vs. Vesuvius

"Mein Teil" by Rammstein plays as Vesuvius comes out onto the stage where the crowd gives him a mixed reaction. He stands on stage for a few moments and takes in the atmosphere of the event before he makes his way down the ramp to ringside. He then pulls himself onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. He then leans back against the ropes and looks towards the stage while his music fades and then we hear "Through Being Cool" by Saves the Day and Joey K comes out to a decent pop from the crowd. Joey then rushes down the ramp to ringside and does a lap of the ring while exchanging high fives with fans before he jumps onto the ring apron. He then leaps over the top rope into the ring and poses for the fans before he then looks over at an unimpressed Vesuvius. The referee calls for the bell and Vesuvius and Joey circle one another. They lock up and Vesuvius shoves Joey into a nearby corner.

Ricky Simms - Vesuvius has a size advantage, so Joey has to be quick and smart here.

Henry Lesher - His early appearances haven't shown him to be either of those things, Rick.

Vesuvius gives Joey a series of punches to the ribs and then gives him a hip toss to the middle of the ring. Vesuvius then applies a nerve hold on Joey while the fans try to cheer Joey on. Vesuvius maintains his hold while Joey refuses to submit when asked by the referee. Joey reaches for the ropes. Vesuvius tries to hold Joey away and towards the center of the ring, Joey then elbows Vesuvius in the ribs which weakens the hold enough that Joey lunges for and grabs the middle rope to force the break. Joey then turns and gives Vesuvius a series of forearm smashes to the jaw which stagger the big man backwards. Joey then knees Vesuvius in the gut before giving him a bulldog to the mat and then rolls him over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Vesuvius.

Ricky Simms - Joey spoiled the fast start for Vesuvius there.

Henry Lesher - It won't matter in the end. Joey is literally over his head in this match.

Joey stands Vesuvius up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him to the mat. Joey then goes to the ropes in the nearest corner and quickly climbs to the top. He goes for a flying leg drop off the top, but Vesuvius rolls out of the way and Joey lands on his tailbone instead. Vesuvius then gets to his feet while Joey grabs at his back. Vesuvius kicks Joey in the chest and then picks him up and slams him to the mat. Vesuvius then rolls Joey face down and applies a camel clutch on Joey. Joey is in severe pain, but refuses to submit when asked by the referee. Vesuvius leans back in the hold and tells Joey to give up or listen as his back is broken.

Ricky Simms - Vesuvius is back in control here as he tries to wear Joey down.

Henry Lesher - Well, clearly Vesuvius is the better man and Joey would be wise to just give up.

Joey refuses to submit as the referee continues to ask. Joey then starts pulling himself up from the mat to weaken the hold and lower the strain on his already sore lower back. Joey then inches towards the ropes while the fans actually start a chant for Joey K. Joey then lunges and manages to grab the bottom rope with his right hand to force the break. Vesuvius reluctantly releases Joey and shakes his head as he stands Joey up. Joey gives Vesuvius a series of punches to the gut and rubs before giving him a jawbreaker. Vesuvius staggers backward into the corner and Joey then climbs to the second rope in that corner and raisn down punches to the side of the head on Vesuvius. The fans count a total of ten punches before Joey jumps down. Vesuvius then tries a clothesline which Joey ducks before he gives Vesuvius a serupkick to the jaw. Joey then clotheslines Vesuvius to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Vesuvius. Joey then backs off to the corner and waits for Vesuvius to stand. Joey then delivers the K  Krash that sends Vesuvius back to the mat. Joey then goes to the ropes while the fans cheer.

Ricky Simms - RKW fans know what's coming here.

Henry Lesher - Rolls out of the way, V-Man!

Joey leaps off the top and lands the K Krusher on Vesuvius before hooking the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Joey K gets the win over Vesuvius in impressive fashion this week. The referee raises his arm as the fans cheer. He then drops and heads out to the floor before he high fives his fans at ringside again. As he makes his way around the ring and celebrated this week's success, we head backstage.

Slim Pickens is seen backstage with Jessica Sweet.

Jessica Sweet - Slim, tonight you get your rematch.

Slim Pickens - I am getting my belt back tonight, yes. See, that peckerwood First Degree and his little girl there, they think they can stand with me and tonight they fall like everyone else does.

Jessica Sweet - Well, you could be seen as vulnerable and on your own here.

Slim Pickens - I think you're blind, girl.

Jessica Sweet - But you don't have a tag partner or anything.

Slim Pickens - No, you're right. All I have is that crowd out there cheering for me.

Jessica Sweet - But they were cheering for you when you lost the belt to Lucy, too.

Slim Pickens - Hey, that's fine. Don't believe in me if you don't want to. I am going to just prove you and everyone else wrong when I am the champ again.

Jessica Sweet - It won't be easy though, not with First Degree hanging around.

Slim Pickens - This girl has to defend her mountain belt before she fights me. She has to battle and bleed before she even meets me. This battle is mine to win and the wrestling world can see that. My condolences if you can't see the obvious, Jess.

Jessica Sweet - I just feel, with the roll Lucy has been on, the odds are stacked against you.

Slim Pickens - The fact I am still wrestling, at this stage of my life, has proven a lot of people wrong and tonight I prove them all wrong again. If that peckerwood wants to try and cost me my title, I am ready for him. Lucy, shine the belt up nice, because it's coming home to me.

Slim leaves and we head back to the ring.

Kira Yakamoto vs. Tricia Smith

"Baby Baby Baby" by Endeverafter plays as Kira Yakamoto comes out to the cheers of the crowd with her tag title belt over her shoulder. She makes her way down the ramp towards the ring and then pulls herself onto the ring apron before she steps through the ropes into the ring. She then climbs the ropes in the corner and waves to her fans while her music fades and then we hear "Bleed It Out" by Linkin Park. Tricia Smith then comes out onto the stage where the crowd gives her loud boos and jeers. She shakes her head at them and makes her way down the ramp to ringside. She then pulls herself onto the ring apron and steps through the ropes into the ring which allows the referee to call for the bell and officially start the match.

Ricky Simms - The winner of this match will be the CWA Women's champion.

Henry Lesher - A title no one will ever care about held by a wrestler no one will ever care about.

Kira and Tricia start trading chops. Kira then ducks a chop from Tricia, turns her around and gives her an atomic drop. Kira then gives Tricia a knee to the back followed by an inverted neckbreaker and then a quick pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Tricia. Kira then stands Tricia up, whips her off the ropes and then backdrops her to the mat. Kira then lands a knee drop to the chest on Tricia before again going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tricia who then turns the pin over. 1...2... kick out by Kira. Tricia is to her feet first and kicks Kira in the ribs before picking her up and slamming her to the mat. Tricia then pulls Kira to the corner buckle and places her throat over the bottom rope before planting a foot on the back of Kira's neck, choking her with the rope.

Ricky Simms - There's more of Tricia's mean streak on display here.

Henry Lesher - It shows how weak you are if you have to break the rules to defeat a Yakamoto.

Tricia releases the choke, stands Kira up and whips her to the opposite corner buckle. She then delivers a running elbow to the side of the head on Kira before giving her an arm drag to the middle of the ring where Tricia applies an arm bar on Kira. The referee checks for a submission, but Kira answers with a series of forearm smashes to the jaw on Tricia with her free arm. She breaks free of the hold and then gives Tricia a knee to the gut followed by a headlock into a springboard bulldog to the mat where she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tricia. Kira then stands Tricia up, whips her off the ropes and then they both clothesline one another to the mat which causes the referee to start counting them both down.

Ricky Simms - Who gets up first here?

Henry Lesher - The fans on their way to the bathroom.

On the five count, Kira kips up to her feet. Kira then gives Tricia a knee to the gut followed by a snap suplex to the mat. Kira then stands Tricia up, whips her into the corner buckle and goes for a shoulder block. Tricia side steps that and sends Kira shoulder first into the corner buckle. Tricia then pulls Kira to the center of the ring and applies an abdominal stretch. The referee checks for a submission, but Kira refuses to give up despite the shoulder and abdominal pain. The crowd starts a chant for Kira while Tricia yells at the fans to shut up. Kira shows signs of powering out of the hold, so Tricia actually releases it, knees Kira in the head and then whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. Tricia then raises her hands inside the ring and declares herself the winner while Kira gets to her feet on the floor.

Ricky Simms - Tricia needs to stay on Kira here.

Henry Lesher - Like half the roster has been already.

Kira climbs onto the ring apron and Tricia greets her with a slap across the face. Kira answers by grabbing Tricia by the neck and placing her throat over the top rope before dropping back to the floor, causing Tricia's throat to slingshot off the top rope and she falls backward to the mat which delights the crowd. Kira then climbs back onto the apron and then springs onto the top rope before landing a somersault leg drop to the throat on the downed Tricia Smith. Kira then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Kira Yakamoto secures the win over Tricia Smith and is the CWA women's champ!

Ricky Simms - Kira is in rare territory here as she has won the title.

Henry Lesher - Well, it had to be one of the two idiots. Congratulations to Kira on becoming the official village idiot of the CWA. I'm sure she'll carry her stupidity with grace and honor.

Kira leaves the ring and has her new belt handed to her by the timekeeper. She heads for the back while the fans cheer their new champion.

Noah Skanes is seen in his locker room when Lord Orlock enters the picture.

Noah Skanes - What do you want?

Lord Orlock - Tonight you face Samson one last time, but I will face the winner.

Noah Skanes - Not tonight you won't.

Lord Orlock - Dead By Dawn, I will face the winner. Next week, at Breakthrough, there will be a number one contender's match. If you still have that belt, I invite you to be at ringside to watch me get the next shot.

Noah Skanes - And when you fail?

Lord Orlock - I will not fail. I have waited years for this chance and I will not lose. I will be the number one contender for three weeks and then... the title you own will become mine.

Noah Skanes - Nice to have dreams, Orlock. Making them a reality, however, is easier said than done.

Noah heads out while Orlock glares in his direction. As mad as the monster might be, he doesn't make a move yet. Will he make that move tonight or will he wait?

Samson vs. Noah Skanes

"Once In A Lifetime" by Talking Heads plays as Samson comes out onto the stage to the boos of the crowd. He smiles as he sees a steel cage being lowered onto the ring, one which will confine he and the champ tonight in a battle for the Originals Title. He looks out at the fans and tells them to boo louder, that he likes it. He then makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then runs his fingers along the outside of the cage before he head in the door. He then rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring and has words with the referee about calling this match fairly. His music fades and then we hear "Before I Forget" by Slipknot and Noah Skanes comes out to loud cheers from the crowd with his title belt over his shoulder. Noah makes his way down the ramp and hands his title off to the timekeeper before he heads into the cage. The referee calls for the bell as Noah pulls himself onto the ring apron. He steps into the ring and has words with Samson there.

Ricky Simms - Originals Title on the line between these two who look to finally end their feud.

Henry Lesher - Samson will finally expose Noah as the poser he truly is. Watch the paper champion fall.

Samson and Noah start trading punches and then kicks as well while the fans cheer. Samson then knees Noah below the belt and then whips him into the corner buckle before giving him a running knee lift to the ribs. Samson then pulls Noah from the corner and then gives him a vertical suplex to the mat. Samson then stands Noah up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Samson then drops and rolls himself out to the floor while Noah uses the cage to slowly get to his feet. Samson then kicks Noah in the ribs before raking his forehead along the side of the cage. Noah answers with a knee lift to the gut on Samson and then rakes his forehead along the side of the cage, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Noah is already bleeding here, but he was softened up for that last week on Restricted.

Henry Lesher - When the moron bloodied himself for ten grand.

Noah gives Samson a side suplex to the floor and both men lie there while a chant for the champ starts. Noah does get to his hands and knees first and then slowly gets to his feet while Samson reaches his hands and knees. Noah then kicks Samson in the ribs before standing him up and whipping him face first into the side of the cage. Noah then gives Samson a German suplex to the floor. Noah gets to his feet and looks down at Samson and nods his head. He then stands Samson up and rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... Samson rolls a shoulder out. Noah then stands Samson up, whips him off the ropes and dropkicks him back to the mat. Noah then goes to the ring apron and starts climbing the ropes in the corner. Samson gets to his feet and Noah goes for a flying cross body. Samson instead headlocks a falling Noah and DDTs him to the mat which draws loud "Holy shit" chants from the crowd. Samson catches his breath and then goes for the pin. 1...2... Noah rolls a shoulder out on time. Samson shakes his head.

Ricky Simms - Impressive move by Samson there using Noah's momentum against him, but he didn't get he three count he expected out of that.

Henry Lesher - Mark Davis made a slow count there. This is all wrong.

Samson stands Noah up and whips him into the corner buckle. He then charges in for a shoulder block and catches Noah right in the abdomen. Samson then gives Noah a belly to belly overhead suplex to the middle of the ring. Samson then goes to the corner buckle and makes his way to the second rope. Noah gets to his feet in time to take a double axe handle smash to the chest from Samson who then rolls Noah into a school boy for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out  by Noah. Samson then stands Noah up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges into a raised knee to the face from Noah who then clotheslines Samson to the mat. Noah then stands Samson up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - The champ is back in control here.

Henry Lesher - Samson is baiting him, Rick. You'll see.

Noah climbs the ropes in the corner. Samson gets to his feet and Noah launches himself. Noah hits the flying cross body nd they both fall into the side of the cage, the steel mesh clawing the back of Samson who slumps to the floor. Noah then picks Samson up over his shoulder and runs him face first into the steel mesh. Noah then runs Samson half way to the opposite side of the ring before giving him a power slam to the floor. The crowd cheers as Noah stands over Samson. Noah then stands Samson up and rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself. Noah then stands over Samson and nods his head. He grabs Samson by the neck, pulls him to his feet and knees him in the gut before picking him up and giving him a slingshot suplex into a cradle pin attempt. 1...2...3! Noah wins the match and retains his title.

Ricky Simms - Noah uses his father's finisher to finally defeat Samson.

Henry Lesher - It's a Perfectplex with that little slingshot added.

Ricky Simms - I know. I saw it and he won.

Henry Lesher - It's a cowardly move, meant to get a surprise three count. I think it should be banned.

Noah exits the ring as the cage is lifted. Noah is handed his title belt and heads up the ramp while the fans cheer him on. He holds the belt up for his fans, the victor on this night.

Rated R is seen backstage with two men who are dressed in riot gear. He doesn't look happy.

Rated R - I didn't want this. I didn't want her harmed and I told you that.

Security Guard #1 - You told us to take them down when it happened and we did.

Security Guard #2 - You weren't very specific. You told us to stop any women's action that might lead to nudity and we did just that.

Rated R - Yes, but Kathy was not to be a target. I want this company to rise above the cheesy strippers and garbage that populate the women's division, but Kathy was not to be touched tonight.

Security Guard #1 - It won't happen again.

Rated R - I am paying you guys top dollar and out of my own pocket. It had better not happen again. Now, about Shannon Skanes, I had him right where I wanted him. Your assistance was not required.

Security Guard #1 - ....

Security Guard #2 - From what we saw, he was tooling you.

Rated R - Pardon me?

Security Guard #1 - What he means to say is we believed you needed assistance.

Rated R - No, I did not require your help. I will signal you when I need your help. I will finish my business with Shannon on my own terms.

He heads off while the two guards look at one another and shrug.



"Your Decision" by Alice In Chains plays as Lucy Johnson and First Degree come out onto the stage together with First Degree holding his Vivid-Gore Title belt high over his head. The camera shows the Rocky Mountain belt hanging above the scaffold over the ring. The crowd boos them as they make their way down the ramp to ringside and then it's Lucy who enters the ring first. First Degree circles the ring and then pulls himself onto the ring apron while their music fades. We then hear "Always" by Saliva and JGH comes out to a loud ovation from the crowd. He shakes his head as he looks into the ring at the challenge awaiting him.

Ricky Simms - There will be two titles decided here. JGH has to overcome both of these competitors if he wants to walk out of here with either title tonight.

Henry Lesher - Well, this was supposed to be three against two, but Jakob Kore and Austin Houston had other things to do, so JGH is on his own. There's no shame in backing out. He can admit he is overwhelmed.

Ricky Simms - He isn't likely to do that.

Henry Lesher - Because he's not that smart.

JGH makes his way down the ramp to ringside and looks at the scaffold that's been built. He nods his head as he looks it over and then he pulls himself onto the ring apron. He steps through the ropes and this allows the referee to call for the bell. Lucy and First Degree both move in on JGH only to take a double clothesline to the mat from him. JGH then knee drops First Degree to the forehead while Lucy springs to her feet with a kip up. JGH then takes a superkick to the jaw from JGH and she then gives him a leg drop to the throat before First Degree goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by JGH as the tide turns. First Degree then stands JGH up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him to the mat before Lucy then gives him a series of kicks to the head. First Degree then climbs the ropes in the corner. He gets to the second rope as Lucy stands JGH up and holds him for First Degree. First Degree goes for a double axe handle smash, but JGH dodges that and Lucy takes the shot instead. Lucy falls to the mat and JGH heads to the scaffold. He starts to climb with First Degree close behind.

Ricky Simms - This is the opening JGH needed.

Henry Lesher - Yeah and it's about to close fast.

JGH reaches the top of the scaffold and reaches for the belt, but is shoved off the scaffold and down to the mat by First Degree. JGH appears to twist his knee as he hits the mat. Lucy is seen using the ropes to get to her feet. First Degree jumps off the scaffold and down to the mat. He then picks JGH up and power slams him to the mat. He goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by JGH. First Degree then pulls JGH to the middle of the ring and applies a figure four leglock on JGH. Lucy starts putting the boots to JGH while the referee tries to ask JGH is he submits. Despite the situation he is in, JGH refuses to give up and tries to pull himself towards the ropes. Lucy leg drops JGH across the chest and the referee counts down JGH's shoulders. 1...2... JGH springs up and again reaches out for the ropes. He pulls himself closer and manages to grab the bottom rope which forces the break. First Degree breaks the hold and JGH slinks out of the ring while First Degree realizes that this is a match without rules. He curses and heads out of the ring after JGH.

Ricky Simms - First Degree was never told to break that hold by the referee. He saw JGH grab the rope and his instinct was to let go.

Henry Lesher - It doesn't matter. He's still a dead man walking here.

JGH turns and gives First Degree a shoulder block to the floor. Lucy launches herself through the ropes and gives JGH a flying cross body that sends him down to the floor. Lucy then stands over JGH and shakes her head before going over to check on First Degree. As she does so, JGH manages to pull himself to the side of the scaffold and he starts pulling himself up. Lucy makes a move towards JGH and he catches her with a kick to the side of the head. He then continues his climb while First Degree then starts up after him. JGH reaches the top of the scaffold for a second time and heads after the belt. First Degree reaches the top of the scaffold and he catches JGH. He turns JGH around and knee him in the gut before picking him up and slamming him onto the scaffold. JGH then kicks up his feet and kicks First Degree in the gut. First Degree stumbles and falls off of the scaffold to the mat. Lucy climbs the scaffold quickly while JGH gets to his feet on top of the scaffold. He reaches up while Lucy makes a charge. She shoulder blocks JGH and he staggers, but he doesn't fall backward. He starts exchanging right and lefts with Lucy while First Degree starts climbing the scaffold on the side behind JGH.

Ricky Simms - JGH is battling valiantly against the odds here.

Henry Lesher - He won't win though. I mean, he is a step up from the usual mess we have inside a CWA ring, but not by much.

JGH catches Lucy with a knee lift to the ribs and then he picks her up and drops her off the scaffold to the mat which draws loud cheers from the crowd. JGH then slowly makes his way to where the belt hangs above the scaffold. First Degree manages to reach the top and he charges at JGH. JGH grabs the belt as he takes a spear that sends him off the scaffold and down to the mat. JGH is clutching the Ricky Mountain Title belt against his chest, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - JGH has become the Rocky Mountain champ!

Henry Lesher - This is a great tragedy!

First Degree stands over First Degree while Lucy looks on in horror while she slowly gets to her feet. First Degree goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. He lands a flying knee drop to the forehead on JGH and goes for the pin. 1...2...3! First Degree retains his title belt while Lucy falls to one knee in the corner. JGH might be out, but he is still clutching his newly won belt close to his chest.

Ricky Simms - First Degree retained, but the crowd is ecstatic that the dream of holding all the gold is vanquished for tonight by JGH!

Henry Lesher - That's a garbage stipulation. He never pinned Lucy. That shouldn't count as a win. This is a tragedy and shows why this company is at the bottom of the heap.

First Degree exits the ring and grabs his title belt from the timekeeper. Inside the ring, Lucy pleads her case to the referee, but to no avail. She starts arguing with Casey Braun, the crowd cheering her being upset. JGH finally shows signs of life and rolls himself out of the ring, the belt still held tightly to his chest. He starts making his way to the ramp while a new referee starts making his way down the ramp. Casey Braun explains that she's done for tonight and she turns away from Lucy. Lucy knees Casey in the back and then whips her head first through the ropes and out to the floor. Lucy then goes to the ropes and spits on Casey while a new referee takes her place.


Slim Pickens rushes down the ramp to ringside while Lucy argues to the new referee that she isn't ready to fight yet, so soon after losing her Rocky Mountain belt. Slim slips under the bottom rope into the ring and the referee calls for the bell to start the main event without even taking down the scaffolding. Slim lands a series of rights and lefts to the head on Lucy and then gives her a bulldog to the mat before rolling her over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Lucy. Slim then stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and dropkicks her back down to the mat. He then goes to the nearby ropes and climbs to the top. Lucy gets to her feet and takes a missile dropkick to the chest from Slim who then rolls Lucy into a school boy pin attempt. 1...2...3! Slim wins the first fall!

Ricky Simms - Lucy had better get her head into the game here. She just lost the first of a two out of three fall match with Slim.

Henry Lesher - This is wrong. She should have had a break. Where's the stupid backstage crap with some nobody, maybe ask Kira how she feels as the nothing champ?

Slim stands over Lucy and says that the gold is coming back home. The crowd cheers. Slim then stands Lucy up, whips her into the corner buckle and then gives her a shoulder block there. Slim then whips Lucy through the ropes and out of the ring to the floor. He heads out after her, puts the boots to her and then stands her up before putting her over his shoulder. He then starts climbing the scaffold while the referee warns Slim to get down.

Ricky Simms - What the hell is Slim doing?

Henry Lesher - He's being stupid. Instead of staying on her, he is playing King Kong.

Slim reaches the top of the scaffold and then he slams Lucy onto it. He then looks out to his fans and smiles. The crowd cheers as he stands Lucy up and knees her in the gut. He sets for a power bomb that might send her through the mat. Instead, Lucy straightens up and gives Slim a backdrop onto the mat from the scaffold. Lucy then turns, out of breath, and then hits a 450 splash onto the downed Slim from the scaffold before she hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Lucy evens the pin count at one and draws loud boos from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Slim took a big risk there and it cost him.

Henry Lesher - He lost a spine and two hips on the landing there. This might just be the end of Slim's career.

Lucy slowly gets to her feet and tells the camera that her night is about to get a lot better. She goes over to Slim and stands on his chest. She raises her arms towards the crowd and they boo her in response. Lucy then stands Slim up, whips him off the ropes and ducks her head for a backdrop, but he kicks her in the face and then gives her a Rock Bottom to the mat before hooking the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Lucy and the crowd groans. Slim slaps the mat and gives the referee a dirty look. He then stands Lucy up, whips her into the corner buckle and then gives her a tackle to the mat. He again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out again by Lucy Johnson. We then see First Degree coming back to ringside, a towel around his neck and a water bottle in his hand. His belt is nowhere to be seen.

Ricky Simms - I don't like the fact he is back out here. He has no business out here.

Henry Lesher - He has every right to look out for Lucy. The way Slim mugged her, it's criminal and he has to protect her from such an idiot. It's the idiots who hurt you in the ring, you know.

Slim stands Lucy up and whips her off the ropes and then misses a clothesline as she ducks it. She then gives Slim a knee to the gut followed by a DDT to the mat and then she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim while First Degree nods at ringside. Lucy stands Slim up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a German suplex to the mat where she holds his shoulders down for the pin. 1...2... and again Slim kicks out. Lucy shakes her head as she gets to her feet and then kicks the downed Slim. Slim heads out of the ring to the floor and stands face to face with First Degree. They have words while Lucy heads out of the ring to the floor. She elbows Slim in the back of the neck, rams his forehead into the ring apron and then rolls him back into the ring before winking at First Degree.

Ricky Simms - There's the distraction working for Lucy.

Henry Lesher - You're mad at something that worked? First Degree never touched Slim there.

Lucy rolls herself back into the ring and gets to her feet while Slim shakes his head to clear the cobwebs. Lucy then applies a full Nelson on Slim. The referee checks for a submission, but the challenger refuses to give up. The fans start a chant for Slim Pickens while First Degree tries in vain to get one started for Lucy. Slim manages to lower his arms which brawls Lucy's hold. He then leans forward before bringing his head back and striking Lucy in the jaw with it. She falls backward into the ropes and her arms get tangled between the top and middle rope. Slim smiles and then starts landing haymakers between the eyes on Lucy while the referee tries to free her from the ropes. He manages to free her arms from the ropes and se falls to her knees. Slim places her in a headlock and then gives her a snap suplex to the mat, stands her up and then gives her a brainbuster to the mat from there. He goes for the pin. 1...2... Lucy gets a foot on the bottom rope. Slim pulls her to the middle of the ring and tries for the pin again. 1...2... Lucy kicks out and Slim shakes his head.

Ricky Simms - That's as close as you can get without winning the belt.

 Henry Lesher - What are you talking about? No it isn't.

Slim stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and gives her a big boot to the chest that sends her back down to the mat. First Degree then pulls himself onto the ring apron. He drops his water bottle on the mat while he argues with Slim. The referee then tries to get First Degree down while Lucy crawls towards the water bottle. Slim takes a swing at First Degree and he finally drops off the apron, but doesn't stop arguing with Slim. Lucy takes the cap off the water bottle and then calls to Slim. She throws the water into Slim's eyes while the referee still is seen arguing with First Degree. Slim screams and grabs at his eyes and Lucy throws the water bottle from the ring. She rolls Slim into a small package while the referee counts the pin. 1...2...3! Lucy wins the match and retains her title belt! She rolls herself out of the ring and embraces First Degree while the referee checks on the downed and apparently blinded Slim Pickens. Ricky Simms actually gets up from his broadcast position.

Henry Lesher - Where the hell are you going? The show isn't over, Rick. The party just started.

Ricky grabs the water bottle, smells it and makes a sour face. He shakes his head as he carries it back to the broadcast position and takes his seat, putting on his headset.

Ricky Simms - Slim got pure alcohol in the eyes.

Henry Lesher - That's water, Rick!

Ricky Simms - Really?

Ricky splashes the alcohol into the eyes of his broadcast partner and Lesher recoils.

Henry Lesher - It burns! It must be holy water!

Ricky Simms - Holy water, my ass. Lucy keeps the title tonight, and I have to wonder if anyone can break up the position that this couple occupies in the CWA.

Henry Lesher - Father Merrin?

Ricky Simms - Oh stop, it isn't holy water and you know it.

Lucy holds her World Title belt high while the fans boo. Inside the ring, the referee attends to Slim as medics head to the ring. A JGH chant breaks out in the crowd as apparently a new savior has been crowned, but he shows no sign of coming to the rescue.

Ricky Simms - How will all of this play out? Tune in to Breakthrough on Sunday and find out!

We fade to black on an image of Lucy and First Degree on stage holding their gold high. This is eerily the same as what we saw at the end of Backdraft.
