July 3, 2010


There is a wide shot of the skyline of New York City while tonight's theme music plays. We then fade to images of Rated R, Shannon Skanes' car on fire, Black Panther beating down Mr. Mystery, Jake Masterson winning the Vivid-Gore Title, Lucy Johnson gaining her upset win over Wren SilverPhoenix, Max Cameron coming out as the new GM for Assault and of Kira Yakamoto trashing Rated R's car. We then fade to a shot of the hot sun in the sky and then the words "Welcome to Sunstroke" appear in bright, red lettering on the screen. While the song continues to play, we then go back to a shot of New York and then fade to the set up for tonight's major show. The ring crew is shown putting things together in time lapse while the song winds down and then we fade to black.

"Cinnamon Girl" by Type O Negative plays as Lauren Strong comes out onto the stage with Heidi Hawkins, Neriah Sweet, Kelly Buchanan and Laurie Smith. The five ladies come down the ramp while the crowd cheers them on.

Ricky Simms - So begins Lesher's last night in the CWA.

Henry Lesher - This match right here is a big reason why I am quitting.

Ricky Simms - You found a McDonald's that would hire you?

Henry Lesher - Very funny, sorry I am moving up by moving unto the underground.

The five women competing in the softcore portion of the match take their place inside the ring. Referee Casey Braun calls for the bell and the crowd cheers.

Ricky Simms - There was a last minute change to this match. The five women in the ring will compete in a match where the last woman wearing anything wins. At any point in the match, any of the five can declare themselves to be out of the match, so stripping nude is possible but any woman can leave the match any time. The winner of this match will then head to the back, put on her wrestling tights and come back out to face the hardcore winner, a woman who wins against four others in a match without rules.

Henry Lesher - Without interest, too.

The five ladies fight among themselves and exchange punches and knife edge chops. Laurie Smith then bulldogs Heidi Hawkins to the mat before she then puts a knee across the throat of Heidi and chokes her, the referee warning Laurie that there are rules in this match. Laurie has a few unkind words for Casey as she stands Heidi up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. Kelly Buchanan then catches Laurie with a superkick to the chin and quickly tears off Laurie's T-shirt. Kelly starts choking Laurie with the T-shirt while Lauren Strong then tears off Laurie's shorts. Laurie screams she submits and Kelly releases her before Lauren kicks her out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Laurie's not popular with the girls and she is gone quickly here.

Henry Lesher - This is really a good reason for me to leave, this match right here.

Heidi Hawkins gets to her feet on the floor and sees Neriah Sweet standing in the corner nearest to her. Heidi reaches into the ring, pulls the feet out from under Neriah and then drags her out to the floor. The two then start trading punches on the floor while, inside the ring, Lauren and Kelly start fighting. Lauren kicks Kelly in the gut, whips her off the ropes and backdrops her to the mat. Lauren then leg drops Kelly to the throat and then pulls her T-shirt off. Lauren stands Kelly up, whips her into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block, but misses when Kelly side steps that and then she rams Lauren shoulder first into the corner. Kelly then tears Lauren's T-shirt off. On the floor, Heidi takes a headbutt from Neriah. Neriah then slams Heidi's head into the guard railing and then pulls off her T-shirt. Neriah then slides back into the ring. Kelly greets Neriah with a spear to the mat and then tears her T-shirt off.

Ricky Simms - These ladies are wasting no time in trying to win this.

Henry Lesher - I may kill myself before I quit.

Ricky Simms - You can make a noose from the T-shirts.

Henry Lesher - Stop being happy!

Kelly stands Neriah up, whips her off the ropes and dropkicks her to the mat, but Lauren comes in and knee drops Kelly to the forehead. Lauren then picks Kelly up and slams her to the mat and then tears Kelly's shorts off. Kelly declares she's done to the referee and quickly exits the ring. Kelly slaps the apron in disgust and then heads up the ramp towards the stage with her head down. Inside the ring, Heidi slips into the ring and is greeted with a kick to the head from Lauren. Lauren then stands Heidi up, whips her off the ropes and then backdrops her to the mat. Neriah is seen pulling herself out of the ring to the floor. Lauren stands Heidi up, whips her into the corner and then walks into a clothesline from Heidi. Heidi then reaches down and pulls Lauren's shorts off. The referee asks Lauren if she quits, but Lauren shakes her head. Heidi stands Lauren up, whips her off the ropes and then both women clothesline each other to the mat. Neriah slips under the bottom rope into the ring and then she grabs Heidi's shorts and pulls them off. The referee asks Heidi if she quits, but she shakes her head.

Ricky Simms - This is where our sencors have to be on guard.

Henry Lesher - I may quit before the end of this match.

Neriah stands Heidi up, whips her off the ropes and Heidi ducks a clothesline and then spears Neriah to the mat. Heidi tears off Neriah's shorts. Neriah tells the referee she is not giving up here. She then monkey flips Heidi off and right into the arms of Lauren who headbutts Heidi and then removes her bra. This causes Heidi to cover up right away and declare that she is out of this match while quickly scrambling from the ring. Lauren gets to her feet and starts trading forearm smashes with Neriah. Neriah then spears Lauren to the mat and tears off her bra. Lauren refuses to give up at that point and rolls over and kicks Neriah in the ribs before tearing her bra off. Lauren then gets to her feet and Neriah gets to hers. They move in and lock up, kicking each other in the ribs. Lauren goes for the takedown, but Neriah takes her down instead and quickly tears off Lauren's underwear which causes the referee to raise Neriah's arm in victory.

Ricky Simms - Neriah wins stage one of this two stage match up. I have no idea what might happen in the second stage.

Henry Lesher - I am so done with all of this. I really am.

As Neriah stands topless inside the ring, Athena comes out on stage. She has a microphone in hand.

Athena - I have some bad news for you people. You see, the second half of this match has been cancelled due to some underground movements. As a result, here is Neriah Sweet, your Queen of the CWA for tonight only. Neriah, congratulations. I'll see you inside another ring soon.

Neriah motions to Jen Hawkins and a microphone is tossed to her.

Neriah Sweet - I am afraid this is the last that the CWA will see of me, so I might as well give you all an eyeful of what could have been your favorite female wrestler ever. Shannon, you wasted me as a backstage announcer and now I get my chance to show the world what I can really do. But first, this is for the fans.

She tosses the microphone back to Jen and then removes her underwear and tosses them from the ring before blowing a kiss to the camera. She heads out of the ring while the censor struggles to keep things blurred to avoid lawsuits. We then look backstage where kathy Smith is seen watching this unfold on a monitor with Max Cameron.

Kathy Smith - What the hell is this?

Max Cameron  Ratings gold?

Kathy Smith - Look, I don't want this to turn into a circus show. I want you to make sure that the Originals Title doesn't have any big surprises like this.

Max Cameron - You think someone's going to get naked after winning that belt?

Kathy Smith - You know what I am talking about.

Max Cameron - Yeah, sure, I can make sure that everything goes smoothly from here tonight.

Max heads off and then we return to the ring.

Originals Title Match

"Phenomenon" by LL Cool J plays as Jon Shocker comes out to loud cheers from the crowd. He stands on stage and soaks up the cheers from the fans and dances to his music. He then makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then slips under the bottom rope int the ring. He jumps to his feet and tests the ropes while his music fades. We then hear "Mother" by Danzig and Night Dweller comes out to loud cheers from the crowd as well. He then rushes down the ramp to ringside and jumps onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. The referee calls for the bell and the two men start trading punches while the fans cheer.

Ricky Simms - This will be a gauntlet match for the Originals Title, commanded by Max Cameron.

Henry Lesher - Max Cameron commanding anything is part of the reason I am leaving.

Night Dweller ducks a right hook from Jon Shocker and then gives him an atomic drop. He follows that up with a clothesline to the mat and then a knee drop to the forehead before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shocker. Dweller stands Shocker up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him to the mat. Night Dweller then climbs to the second rope in the corner and goes for a double axe handle smash only to take a punch to the gut from Shocker. Shocker then gives Night Dweller a German suplex to the mat, stands him up and whips him into the corner before giving him a shoulder block. Shocker then gives Dweller a tilt a whirl backbreaker and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Night Dweller. Shocker then stands Dweller up and whips him through the ropes to the floor. Shocker then drops and rolls himself out after Dweller.

Ricky Simms - Jon Shocker is  in control here, clearly hoping to run this gauntlet and become the new champion.

Henry Lesher - Ugh, this is terrible. Where are the real wrestlers at?

Shocker stands Dweller up and takes a right hook from Dweller who than slams Shocker's head into the steel guard railing and then rolls him back into the ring before rolling himself in where he quickly applies a sleeperhold. The referee checks for a submission, but Shocker is unwilling to give up and reaches out for the ropes. We then see Black Panther heading down the ramp hich draws boos from the crowd. Panther stops at ringside and slaps the mat, apparently cheering on Jon Shocker.

Ricky Simms - Panther is supposed to be in this match at some point, but this isn't how he is supposed to come out here. It's not his time yet.

Henry Lesher - Panther decides when it's his time.

Dweller shouts to referee Mark Davis to get rid of Panther. Mark Davis leaves the action to go over to Black Panther. We then see Gravity slip into the ring and he clocks Night Dweller with brass knuckles before rolling himself out to the floor and then escaping through the crowd. Jon Shocker then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Night Dweller has been eliminated!

Ricky Simms - Cheap tactics by the newly minted Dark Forces lead to Night Dweller being eliminated.

Henry Lesher - This is what happens when you get in the way of a real wrestler.

Panther slips into the ring while a half asleep Jon Shocker gets to his feet. Panther gives him a superkick to the chin that sends him back down to the mat and then gives him a springboard moonsault onto the fallen Shocker before hooking the leg. 1...2...3! Panther takes advantage and eliminates Jon Shocker. The crowd boos loudly as Jen Hawkins announces that Shocker has been eliminated by the opportunistic Panther.

Ricky Simms - That's sad.

Henry Lesher - No, it's smart wrestling. Panther is going to be champ.

Panther stands in the middle of the ring with his arms raised and looks towards the stage. We then hear "Bonecracker" by Shocore and Blair Drake comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He doesn't look happy as he makes his way down the ramp and then makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron. He says a few unkind words to Panther from there and then steps into the ring where he is greeted with a series of kicks to the ribs from Panther who then rakes the eyes of Drake along the top rope and then gives him a side Russian leg sweep to the mat. Panther goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Drake. Panther then stands Drake up, whips him off the ropes and Drake ducks a clothesline before giving Panther a drop toe hold to the mat where he quickly goes for an STF. Panther grabs the bottom rope to force the break and then slips out to the floor where he signals for a timeout.

Ricky Simms - Dirty tactics won't be an advantage for Panther here as Drake's one of the dirtiest who has ever been inside the ring.

Henry Lesher - I'll admit you're right there.

 Drake dives through the ropes and lands a cross body block on Panther which sends him down to the floor. Drake then chokes the downed Panther and then gives him a headbutt before standing him up and whipping him shoulder first into the steel corner post. Drake then rolls Panther into the ring before rolling himself into the ring. He goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Black Panther. Drake then stands Panther up, whips him off the ropes and then Panther ducks a clothesline before giving Drake a reverse neckbreaker to the mat. Panther then gets to his feet and stands Drake up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick to the mat. Panther then gives Drake a leg drop to the chest and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Blair Drake.

Ricky Simms - This appears to be settling in as these two fight tooth and nail for the right to continue in this match.

Henry Lesher - Hey, that's how it goes. Drake is going to get pinned here because Pather just wants it more.

Panther stands Drake up, whips him off the ropes and then both men clothesline each other to the mat. The referee starts counting them both down while the fans are sounding quite pro-Drake. On the five count, Drake starts getting to his feet. He then kicks Panther in the side of the head before he then stands Panther up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a standing dropkick in the corner. Drake then gets to his feet and takes a vicious forearm smash from Panther who then follows up with a headbutt and then a knee to the gut. Panther then picks Drake up and drops him on the top rope, a slingshot off the throat that sends him falling backwards to the mat in pain. Panther then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Blair Drake has been eliminated.

Ricky Simms - He fought hard, but Panther got vicious to eliminate Blair Drake.

Henry Lesher - Well, that's what Blair used to do. Now, he's a wuss.

Panther gets to his feet, short of breath and not looking happy. Drake is rolled out of the ring by the  referee and then we hear "Once In a Lifetime" by Talking Heads and Samson comes out to boos from the crowd. He looks down at the ring and shakes his head. He makes his way down the ramp and then motions to Jen Hawkins, who tosses him a microphone.

Samson - Panther, I know you have your heart set on becoming a champion. The thing is, I am the rightful champion. Noah Skanes is waiting back there to try and become champion and you're standing between my chance to fight him. Those idiot kids and their idiot fathers went to a double DQ before our show even started tonight. Oh, crap, I spoiled the online content for Sunstroke. I guess that's how it goes when you hand me a microphone. Panther, I admire you for dispatching some has beens. I am not one of those. I am the rightful title holder. I am coming in to get my title back. Only a fool will dare oppose me.

Samson tosses the microphone back to Jen Hawkins and then pulls himself onto the ring apron where Panther greets him with a series of forearm smashes to the jaw and then clotheslines him back to the floor which actually draws cheers from the crowd. Panther then rolls himself out to the floor and starts putting the boots to Samson. Panther then stands Samson up, whips him shoulder first into the steel corner post and then rolls him into the ring. Panther then jumps up onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He starts putting the boots to Samson again, even boot choking him while using the top rope for leverage.

Ricky Simms - I guess Black Panther didn't appreciate Samson's tone.

Henry Lesher - Well, at least these guys are both fighters and at the top of their game.

Panther releases the choke, stands Samson up and then rakes his eyes along the top rope before giving him a side slam to te mat. Panther then sits Samson up and places him in a sleeperhold while the fans continue cheering for the usually hated Panther. The referee checks for a submission, but Samson instead starts elbowing Panther in the gut and then snap mares him to break free of the hold. Samson then uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet. He then goes to the corner buckle and climbs to the top rope. Samson then lands a scissor kick to the back of the neck on Black Panther before rolling him into a school boy for the pin. 1...2...3! Samson eliminates Black Panther! He then motions for the microphone again while the fans boo.

Samson - This is what happens when a second rate wrestler believes he is a main event star. Panther, go retire, go work in the bloody underground, or just go die. Just get the hell out of my ring.

Samson then clocks Panther in the head with the microphone and then kicks him out of the ring to the floor while "Samson sucks" chants start in the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Samson needs to be taught about respect.

Henry Lesher - He tried to warn Panther this was going to happen. Now, he has the title.

"Just Like You" by Three Days Grace plays as Noah Skanes comes out to loud cheers from the crowd. He then runs down the ramp and slips under the bottom rope into the ring where he then starts brawling with Samson. The two trade punches and kicks while the fans cheer. They battle their way to their feet and then start trading knife edge chops to the chest. Noah ducks a right hook from Samson, but Samson eye gouges Noah and then knees him in the gut before giving him a gutwrench suplex to the mat where he hooks the leg for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Noah.

Ricky Simms - You're not pinning Noah that fast.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, Samson will pin him soon enough.

Samson stands Noah up, whips him off the ropes and then misses a clothesline as Noah ducks that and then gives Samson a backslide into a pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Samson. Noah stands Samson up, whips him into the corner buckle and then lands a splash on him there. Noah then gives Samson a DDT to the mat and again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Samson. Noah then stands Samson up, whips him off the ropes and then dropkicks him down to the mat. Samson rolls himself out of the ring and signals for a timeout, turns and comes face to face with an enraged Black Panther. Panther advances on Samson who starts backing up right away. Samson then turns and starts running with Black Panther close behind. Samson then slides into the ring, clearly having forgotten that his real fight is waiting for him there. He takes a leg drop to the back of the neck from Noah who then rolls Samson over for the pin. 1...2...3! Noah is the Originals Champ once again! He jumps to his feet while Black Panther retrieves the belt from the timekeeper and then slides into the ring. He gets to his feet and finds Panther inside the ring with the title belt in his hands.

Ricky Simms - This looks like a tense moment.

Henry Lesher - It's tense alright. Panther should be the one holding the title as the champ. That kid came in last and didn't have to work for it.

"Hell's Bells" by AC/DC plays as Max Cameron comes out dressed in a suit and to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Inside the ring, Noah and Panther both roll their eyes and say a few things to one another while Max makes his way to the ring. He has a smirk on his face and steps up onto the ring apron and then through the ropes into the ring. He takes the Originals Title from Black Panther, a microphone in his other hand.

Max Cameron - I present to you, your Originals Champion, Noah Skanes! I am so proud of putting on a great match like this.

Black Panther - What the hell did you do?

Noah Skanes - I was about to ask the same thing.

Max Cameron - This is my moment as GM. Don't you get that? I am taking pride in my work, in putting together a fantastic event!

Panther and Noah then turn an exit the ring, leaving Max there to raise his hands in false victory. His smile quickly dissolves as “I’m Just a Girl” erupts from the speakers. Max shakes his head no as he brings the mic to his lips.

Max: You have no reason to be out here!

Wren emerges from the back, wearing her ring gear as well as a C.W.A. sweatshirt, and stops at the top of the entrance ramp as the music dies out.

Max: Either get in the back or –

Wren: Or what? You’ll quit again?! Max, you are just a figurehead; haven’t you figured that out yet? You’re a nobody playing the role of a somebody; like a little boy wearing his dad’s suit.

Max: Keep pushing me Wren, keep it up! I’ll fire you so fast your head will spin!

Wren: Then I guess if I’m going to get fired, I should take a parting shot on my way out, huh?

Wren starts walking down the ramp towards the ring.

Max: Security!!

Wren’s grin widens as security sprints out from the back and catch up for the fatal femme as she reaches the bottom of the ramp. They surround her and create a buffer between and the ring, and now it’s Max’s turn to widen his grin.

Max: I expected somebody to cause some trouble so I hired extra security.

Wren: Think they’re going to be enough?

The crowd begins to part like the Red Sea behind Max but the GM is clueless.

Max: Enough? For you?

Max scoffs.

Max: Get her out of here!

Frank slips over the security barrier and with two steps crosses the gap between the barrier and the ring. Max is unaware that the One Man Army has rolled into the ring and is now standing just seven feet behind him. Meanwhile, Wren laughs heartily while pointing behind Max. When the GM turns around, his smile vanishes in an instant.

Max: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! C’mon, Frank, you know you can’t do this….

Frank’s right eye twitches slightly but they remain locked on Max. Security has turned their attention to Frank, who poses a bigger threat than Wren, and begin to surround the ring. Some even reach up and grab the middle rope in case they need to pull themselves into the ring.

Max: I don’t know what you got going on with her, but I suggest you leave, or the both of you could be in the bread line.

Wren: Could be….

Wren’s comment is enough to get Max’s attention and her looks over his shoulder. This moment is all Frank needs and he launches forward and connects with a Mafia kick that nearly takes Max’s head off. Max drops to the matt, covering his head, and Frank’s attack continues while Security begins to climb in, as well as Wren. Frank turns his attention to the Security and begins dropping them with hard right hands nearly the size of toasters.

Wren mounts Max and begins hammering right fists into Max’s forehead. Most of the Security has hightailed it out of the ring and the others remain on the mat like remnants of firecrackers in the gutter. Wren rises to her feet and heads for the ring apron while Frank hoists Max up onto his shoulders. Wren uses the ropes to slingshot herself and connects with a springboard clothesline, and Max folds in half upon landing on the mat after the Springboard Doomsday Device. Both Frank and Max spit on the GM and then remove their sweatshirts to reveal an update 4:20 Flock t-shirt.

Wren: That’s right! The Flock is back and Max is just the beginning!

Frank takes the mic from Wren.

Frank: And the future members are among the ranks of those in the locker room. Who’s next to join?

Wren takes the mic back.

Wren: It’s only a matter of time before the rest of our ranks are filled….

Wren drops the mic and hugs Frank heartily and he returns the sentiment with a kiss on the top of her head.

Henry Lesher - I like that, but I am still quitting.

Ricky Simms - I still don't care.

Backstage we see Ray Dees pacing outside of the women's locker room when Athena comes out.

Ray Dees - Please *drops to his knees*, take me with you.

Athena - Where?

Ray Dees - I know, Athena. I know what's happening.

Athena - I don't know what you're talking about.

Ray Dees - I could go to Shannon now and...

Athena - Watch what you say, Raymond. If you want your wish fulfiled, you'll keep your damned mouth shut.

Ray Dees - *smirks* I would be forever in your debt.

Athena shakes her head as she walks off, a glimmer of hope showing in Ray's bloodshot eyes.

Vesuvius vs. Frank Merritt
Stipulation: Last Man Standing

"Fuhre Mich" by Rammstein plays as the arena lights darken for a moment. We then see Vesuvius come out onto the stage, his head lowered and wearing what appears to be an orange jumpsuit usually reserved for men in maximum security prison. He makes his way down the ramp, his head remaining down as he makes his way to ringside. He then stops at ringside and looks up at the lights. He shakes his head as he then pulls himself ono the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. He paces inside the ring while his music fades and then we hear "I Will Be Heard" by Hatebreed and Frank Merritt comes out onto the stage to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He stands on stage and looks down at Vesuvius, shaking his head as his opponent had. Frank then makes his way down the ramp and then slips under the bottom rope into the ring which allows referee Steve Hawkins to call for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Last man standing rules here.

Henry Lesher - I favor Frank by awesome factor alone.

Frank stands eye to eye with Vesuvius. Vesuvius backs off. Both men smile and then they start trading rights and lefts. Frank lands a headbutt on Vesuvius and then gives him a side slam to the mat. Frank then stands Vesuvius up, whips him off the ropes and misses a clothesline as Vesuvius ducks it before kneeing Frank in the ribs and then giving him a gutwrench suplex to the mat. Vesuvius then stands Frank up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a big boot to the chest that staggers him before shoulder blocking him down to the mat. Vesuvius then lands a knee drop to the head on Frank and then rolls him out of the ring to the floor. Vesuvius heads out after Frank and then stands him up only to take a jawbreaker from Frank who then pulls the feet out from under Vesuvius. Frank then kneels over Vesuvius and lands punches to the head on Vesuvius.

Ricky Simms - Frank is in control now.

Henry Lesher - Frank is always in control.

Frank chokes the downed Vesuvius. Vesuvius eye gouges Frank to free himself and then throws Frank off and into the guard railing. Vesuvius then rolls over to the ring apron and uses it to get himself back to his feet. Frank and Vesuvius start trading punches again. Frank gives Vesuvius a forearm smash to the jaw and then runs him shoulder first into the steel corner post. He then picks Vesuvius up and power slams him to the floor. The referee starts counting down the mountain man. On the four count, Vesuvius gets to his hands and knees, so Frank kicks him in the ribs, stands him up and goes for another whip into the steel corner post. Vesuvius reverses that and sends Frank shoulder first into the steel corner post instead. Vesuvius then puts the boots to the downed Frank while nearby fans cheer for both men.

Ricky Simms - The tide shifts here as these two are evenly matched.

Henry Lesher - In your mind only.

Vesuvius stands Frank up an rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself. Vesuvius then stands Frank up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a big boot to the chest. Frank staggers, but then gives Vesuvius a short arm clothesline to the mat. Frank then picks Vesuvius up and slams him to the mat. Frank then goes to the nearby ropes and climbs to the second rope. Vesuvius gets to his feet as Frank goes for a double axe handle smash. Instead, Vesuvius catches Frank with a punch to the ribs and then gives him a choke slam to the mat. The referee starts counting Frank down. Vesuvius leans on the ropes in the corner catching his breath. Frank starts to get to his feet, using the ropes to pull himself up. He manages to reach his feet on the ten count. Vesuvius goes for another big boot on frank, but Frank deflects that, turns Vesuvius around and then gives him an atomic drop before giving him a knee to the back and then an inverted DDT to the mat. Frank now takes his turn in the corner, trying to catch his breath.

Ricky Simms - Both men are giving it everything they have in this one.

Henry Lesher - It is hard seeing people make an effort, isn't it?

The referee starts counting down Vesuvius. Vesuvius starts to pull himself to his feet and Frank gives him a running boot to the side of the head. Frank then pulls Vesuvius to his feet and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Frank drops and rolls himself out after Vesuvius. Frank stands Vesuvius up and rams his head into the guard railing before dumping him over the railing and into the aisle in the crowd. Frank then steps over the railing into the aisle where he then stands Vesuvius up only to take a vicious knife edge chop from Vesuvius who shoves Frank backwards and he topples over the guard railing to ringside. Vesuvius then steps over the railing and starts putting his boots to the legs of Frank, hoping he has created a weakness in the monster.

Ricky Simms - Frank really wants to win this and build on the momentum that was created by he and Wren earlier.

Henry Lesher - Well, it's nice to see something finally happen around here that's worthwhile.

Vesuvius pulls Frank from the guard railing and then places him in a figure four leglock. Frank reaches under the ring and pulls out a crow bar. The referee pulls that from Frank's grip and explains that there are rules about weapons in this match. Frank says something unkind to the referee, but tosses the weapon aside. We then see Wren SilverPhoenix making her way down the ramp which draws boos from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Oh, great, this looks promising.

Henry Lesher - Frank is making Wren a better person.

Vesuvius spots Wren at ringside and releases the figure four. He gets to his feet and heads after Wren. We see Frank grabbing the crow bar while the referee tries to get in between Wren and Vesuvius. Vesuvius has a few words for Wren and the referee tells Wren to take off. Frank strikes Vesuvius in the back of the neck with the crow bar. Vesuvius drops like a rock to the floor and Frank tosses the crow bar back under the ring. Wren heads up the ramp and the referee turns his attention to Vesuvius. Seeing the mountain man out cold, he calls for the bell immediately and the crowd boos as Frank's arms are raised in victory.

Ricky Simms - Chalk up a win to Frank in this one.

Henry Lesher - Well, he was the better man, though just barely.

Frank heads up the ramp and to the stage. We then see Corina, Neriah Sweet and Jessica Sweet come out onto the stage. They are pulling a stretcher along with them, all of them dressed in skimpy nurse's outfits. The crowd hoots and hollers at them as they make their way to ringside and then lower the stretcher. They work together to place Vesuvius on the stretcher and Athena comes out onto the stage and waits for them to bring her man up.

Ricky Simms - What the hell is going on here?

Henry Lesher - This is when things get good.

Athena - *as the three girls reach the stage* Now is the time for us to take our leave of you. The CWA has seen the last of Vesuvius, the last of the Sweet sisters here and of myself and... Henry Lesher himself. Doctor, your carriage awaits.

Lesher gets up and leaves the announce table and heads up the ramp. He kisses the hand of Athena and then waves to the fans before he makes his exit. Athena stays on stage even as the girls wheel Vesuvius backstage.

Athena - Hey, he gave you a real match. You can't boo that. He didn't thumb wrestle anyone. He didn't fade away and not sow up for a world title match. He showed up, fought hard and now in order to see him, you will have to watch Underground Wrestling.

Athena throws the microphone down on the stage and makes her exit while the fans boo her announcement.

Ricky Simms - I'm free. This feels... weird.

The camera follows Athena, the Sweet Sisters, Henry Lesher, Vesuvius and Ray Dees out the back door of the building. They load Vesuvius into what appears to be a military vehicle and the driver is former CWA original Syckle. The camouflage colored Hummer drives off after everyone is loaded in while members of the CWA roster look on in shock. Shengee Shmelky comes out with a packed suitcase.

Shengee Shmelky - Wait! Wait! Take me with you! I used the shampoo like you asked, even killed the eggs! Come back! Don't leave me here!

Shengee lowers his shoulders and heads back inside, a tear trailing down his cheek.

Rated R  vs. Scavenger vs. Freak vs. Tricia Smith

"My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" by Type O Negative plays as Scavenger comes out onto the stage to the cheers of the crowd. He is without his chair or his trademark smile. He also is not followed by his wife Lauren tonight, so he looks very isolated at the moment. He makes his way down the ramp with his head down. He then pauses at ringside and then pulls himself onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. He paces inside the ring and his music starts to fade out. We then hear "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out onto the stage, already fighting with Tricia Smith if all people. Ryan knees her in the ribs and then gives her a tilt a whirl suplex onto the stage. He then starts putting the boots to her there only to take a spear from a charging Freak, Himself. Scavenger just watches from the ring while shaking his head.

Ricky Simms - Did Freak just make the save for Tricia? This match has a lot on the line. If Rated R wins, he gets to face Kathy Smith in a match of his choosing in two weeks. If any of the others win, they get a Vivid-Gore Title shot in two weeks' time.

Freak drags Rated R by the feet down the ramp to ringside. He then stands Rated R up and rolls him into the ring. We then see Razorblade coming out and heading down the ramp towards the ring, ready to call this match. He has a few words with Freak, but Freak seems to be a little more off than usual tonight and he's only partially listening while his eyes wander. Inside the ring, Scavenger grabs Rated R by the throat and asks him what the point of life is without a chair. Rated R answers with an eye gouge on Scavenger and then gives him an arm drag out of the ring to the floor where he collides with Freak and both men fall to the floor. Rated R gets to his feet inside the ring and has a few words for Razorblade. Razor looks towards the stage, clearly not happy with the drama he is being thrown into and his place in it as the peacekeeper.

Ricky Simms - I have no idea how this match might go and it feels so nice not to have Debbie Downer next to me talking about how everything sucks. I feel liberated.

Razor steps up onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He calls for the bell to officially start the match despite the fact Ryan is the only competitor inside the ring at this point. Freak slips into the ring behind Rated R and goes for the roll up. 1...2... kick out  by Rated R. Freak then stands Rated R up, whips him off the ropes and misses a clothesline as Rated R ducks it and goes for a reverse neckbreaker, but Freak shoves Rated R away and the two men look each other in the eye. Freak and Rated R trade punches while Tricia limps down the ramp and the pulls herself onto the ring apron, choosing her corner. Scavenger does the same on the other side of the ring, meaning Freak and Rated R will be the official combatants in this match now.

Ricky Simms - This finally is settling into being a match. I doubt the brawling is over, but Razor can put a cap on that. This guy is a legend in the CWA for a reason.

Freak eye gouges Rated R. Rated R knees Freak in the gut and then picks Freak up and slams him to the mat before giving him a knee drop to the forehead and then he hooks the leg for the quick pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Freak. Rated R stands Freak up, whips him off the ropes and Tricia makes a blind tag to the shoulder of Freak. Rated R clotheslines Freak down and then takes a dropkick to the chest from Tricia. She jumps to the ropes and goes for a moonsault, but she lands on raised knees from Rated R. Rated R then gets to his feet and grabs Tricia by the hair. Freak starts shouting at the referee that is a hair pull and Razor nods, tells Freak to calm down and then starts counting towards a DQ for Rated R. Rated R releases the hair of Tricia Smith and then slaps her across the face, smirking as he does so. Freak charges into the ring and kicks Rated R in the gut before giving him a headbutt. Razor then wraps up Freak and shoves him back to his corner and tells him to back off.

Ricky Simms - This match has a referee who can handle himself in Razorblade. He knows these guys and he'll do everything he can to see a fair result.

Freak leaves the ring while Rated R puts the boots to Tricia Smith. Rated R then stands her up, whips her off the ropes and dropkicks her down to the mat. Tricia then rolls away from Rated R and tags in Scavenger. Scavenger charges into the ring and then stops short of attacking Rated R. He looks out to ringside and looks around the entire ring. He appears to be tearing up as he stands there while Rated R gets to his feet. Rated R looks at Scavenger and asks if he misses the chair. Scavenger nods, much like a little kid might if asked if he missed a stolen bike. Rated R places a hand on Scavenger's shoulder and then gives him a forearm smash with the other, and gives him the Restricted to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Scavenger has been eliminated. Rated R stands over Scavenger and shakes his head while the referee then pushes Scavenger out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - I had heard that the loss of the chair was too much for Scavenger to bear coming into this  match and that rumor would appear to have been proven true here. It is sad to see.

Rated R finds himself face to face with Freak. Freak points at Tricia and tells Rated R this is just between them. Rated R looks baffled by his defense of Tricia and answers that with a thumb to the eye on Freak. Rated R then ignores the referee's warning for that tactic. Rated R gives Freak a knife edge chop to the chest, then knees him in the ribs and places him in an abdominal stretch. The referee checks for a submission, but Freak is unwilling to give up here. He shows signs of powering out, despite Rated R telling him to give up and accept his fate. Freak gives Rated R a hip toss to break free of the hold and then he places Rated R in an abdominal stretch. Rated R answers by giving Freak a hip toss before he can fully apply the hold. Rated R then whips Freak through the ropes and out to the floor. Rated R then looks over at Tricia and smiles. She spits in his direction, so he tells her she needs to learn some manners. Rated R goes to Tricia's corner, grabs her by the hair and drags her into the ring.

Ricky Simms - Razor has to stop this stuff. Ryan is out of control here and completely out of line.

Tricia fights back with punches to the ribs on Rated R, but he doesn't let go of her hair. He headbutts her and sends her down to the mat where he boot chokes her, using the top rope for added leverage. Freak slips back into the ring and trips the feet out from under Rated R. Freak the rains down punches to the head on Rated R, who quickly scrambles out to the floor. Freak follows and keeps the pressure on Rated R with a series of double axe handle smashes to the back of the neck followed by a bulldog to the floor. The fans cheer as Freak stands over Rated R. He then stands Rated R up and runs him shoulder first into the steel corner steps. Freak then stands Rated R up, rolls him into the ring and then does the same himself. He goes for the pin. 1...2... Rated R gets a foot on the bottom rope and Freak slaps the mat in frustration.

Ricky Simms - Freak thought he had him there, though anyone who has watched Rated R as long as I have knows that man is nearly impossible to score a win against.

Freak stands Rated R up and goes for the Irisuh whip, but Rated R reverses it and Tricia blind tags Freak for the second time in this match. This time, Rated R sees it and whips Freak ou through the ropes to the floor. Tricia comes in and is greeted with a boot to the gut followed by a power bomb to the mat. Rated R then goes for the pin. 1...2... Rated R pulls her up from the mat. Razorblade has a few unkind words for Rated R about that and the fans boo. Rated R picks Tricia up over his shoulder and slams her to the mat. She is motionless on the mat and Rated R gives her a knee drop to the forehead in order to bring her around. She barely moves as a result while Freak gets to his feet on the floor. He pulls himself onto the ring apron while Rated R points at Freak and says he's next. Rated R picks Tricia up, the girl dead weight in his arms, and he gives her a power slam to the mat. Rated R again goes for the pin. 1...2... and again pulls her up.

Ricky Simms - Razor has to declare this girl is out of it before Ryan does permanent damage to her back and neck. Rated R is a Nexus all by himself in there tonight, tearing this helpless girl to pieces.

Rated R pulls Tricia to the ropes and stands her up. He then tangles her arms between the top and middle rope. The girl's head falls forward as she is unresponsive at this point. Rated R slaps her across the face while Razor tries to free Tricia from the ropes. Rated R then gives her the Restricted to the mat when she is freed and then rolls her over for the pin. 1...2... Rated R still won't let this end and pulls her up. We then see Kathy Smith herself rushing down the ramp to the ring which draws cheers from the crowd. Freak rushes into the ring and gives Rated R a big boot to the head, again seemingly coming to the aid of Tricia Smith. Freak follows that up with a headbutt on Rated R before Razorblade pulls him to his corner and shoves him out of the ring.

Ricky Simms - Freak is trying to do the right thing here, but there is no telling why.

Rated R gets to his feet shaking his head and then he gives Tricia a leg drop across the throat before he goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Tricia is finally eliminated and Rated R turns to Kathy and tells her that she had better be ready for what's next. He then takes a running spear from Freak who rains down punches on Rated R before choking him. Referee Razorblade warns Freak to back off while Freak appears to be arguing with himself. Something about the beating Tricia went through caused a snap inside of him. He does release the choke, but he quickly applies an ankle lock submission hold. Tricia is seen being rolled out of the ring where sister Kathy grabs her and quickly signals that she requires medical attention.

Ricky Simms - Kathy is terrified here and Tricia has again been left in a bad state by Rated R.

Rated R manages to grab the bottom rope to force the break of Freak's hold. Rated R then pulls himself to his feet while EMTs come rushing down the ramp with a stretcher to attend to the fallen Tricia. Rated R smirks and gouges Freak's eyes along the top rope and then times it so that he tosses Freak through the ropes and onto the EMTs, sending the stretcher and the medics to the floor. Rated R raises his arms and bows to the crowd. Razorblade then shoves Rated R and has a few words for him. Rated R stands nose to nose with Razorblade and it appears they are about to come to blows here. This is when the lights go out.

Ricky Simms - What the hell is going on here? This keeps getting odder.

The lights come back up and Freak is inside the ring now, Scavenger's steel chair in hand. Its twisted wreckage meets the forehead of a stunned Rated R. Rated R is stunned because Razorblade is wearing the Sporadic mask we have seen before. He is struggling to remove it and motions to the timekeeper and we hear the bell. Freak cradles the chair close to his chest for a moment. He then rears back and drives it into the chest of the downed Rated R. Razorblade finally removes the mask and pulls the twisted chair away from Freak.

Ricky Simms - Is Freak trying to blame the chair for the mask and for Rated R being out cold here? How the hell did he get that chair? Scavenger left it at the curb to be thrown away.

Freak escapes the ring while a baffled Razorblade stands inside the ring with the chair wreckage in his hands and the crowd boos as Rated R is named the winner by disqualification. Razorblade exits the ring to help them load up Tricia Smith. Kathy Smith is clearly not happy with Razor, and he tells her to back off.

Ricky Simms - Kathy was counting on her former stable mate to call the match and he did well, but he was left in a bad spot there. Ryan gets the win. He gets a match of his choosing with Kathy Smith in two weeks. I still want to know what the hell Razor was wearing the Sporadic mask for and where Freak found that damned chair. This is the oddest finish to a match that I can recall seeing and I have been in this business for decades.

Backstage we see Shannon Skanes pacing in his office. Max Cameron limps in with an ice pack against his forehead.

Max Cameron - What the hell could you want?

Shannon Skanes - Did you see what just happened?

Max Cameron - Did you see what happened to me? Where was your moral outrage then?

Shannon Skanes - Ryan has a match against Kathy in two weeks. He can name the stipulation. Freak lost it and Razor is Sporadic? How the hell is any of this possible?

Max Cameron - I missed part of that due to the coma I was in after the Frank and Wren bullshit, sorry.

Shannon Skanes - Wyatt could have helmed this crap, you know. I lose Lesher to a company I never heard was starting up. Why did I hire you again?

Max Cameron - I am guessing to get me beat up. It worked.

Shannon Skanes - Stop your whining.

Max Cameron - Get me inside the ring then.

Shannon Skanes - I'd have to suspend your role as GM.

Max Cameron - Your point being? I want Wren and Frank.

Shannon Skanes - Let's go back in time here. Max, in two weeks at Assault, you can face Frank Merritt.

Max Cameron - If Wren interferes, she's suspended.

Shannon Skanes - Done.

They shake hands and we return to the ring as the Sanitarium cage is bring lowered.


The Moose vs. Jake Masterson vs. Slim Pickens vs. Lucy Johnson vs. Wren SilverPhoenix vs. Yellow and Black Attack vs. The Yakamotos

"Secret Separation" by The Fixx plays as Joe Davidson and Steve Blake make their way onto the stage where the crowd gives them a solid reaction. They stop next to the cage and then make their way inside. The referee closes the door and then we hear "Surfing with the Alien" by Joe Satriani and Hoshi and Kira Yakamoto make their way onto the stage. The crowd cheers them as well as they stand on stage and Kira bows to her fans while Hoshi blows them a kiss. They then make their way to ringside and high five fans on their way around the cage and then they step inside. The referee calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - Welcome to stage one of hell for the wrestlers tonight. Southern Comfort hasn't been seen tonight, so it's been decided that these two teams will fight it out for the tag belts and then the Yakamoto Sisters stay for the remainder of this battle. The Yellow and Black Attack will leave, win or lose.

Blake and Kira start the battle inside the ring and lock up. Steve shoves Kira down to the mat and then kicks her in the ribs before standing her up and whipping her off the ropes. Kira ducks a clothesline, jumps onto the top rope and then gives Steve Blake a headscissors takedown to the mat. Kira then rolls to her corner and tags in Hoshi. Hoshi charges in and goes for a somersault leg drop on Blake, but he rolls out of the way and rolls to his corner where he tags in Joe Davidson. Joe enters the ring and starts trading knife edge chops with Hoshi. She then ducks one and gives Joe an atomic drop before giving him a backstabber. She then rolls herself out of the ring and heads for the door. The referee opens the door, but Blake grabs Hoshi by the arm and holds her inside the cage. Kira runs on the apron and launches herself onto Steve Blake, sending him falling back into the side of the cage.

Ricky Simms - It's carnage at ringside as the Yakamoto Sisters try to get out of the cage and win themselves the tag belts. At least they battled inside the ring for a bit before going out here.

Joe Davidson rolls himself out to the floor and heads for the open door. Hoshi slams it into Joe's face and then gives him a bulldog to the floor. She and Kira then stands Steve Blake up. They give him a double vertical suplex to the floor which draws cheers from the fans. Kira then heads out the door to the floor and Hoshi follows only to have Joe grab her feet and pull her down to the floor. Joe Davidson then pulls Hoshi back while Kira is told by the referee she cannot re-enter the cage. Kira pleads her case to the deaf ears of the official.

Ricky Simms - Kira isn't happy that Hoshi is now fighting Joe and Steve alone here. I imagine Lesher would have enjoyed this turn of events, but thankfully he is headed away from this company.

Hoshi puts the boots to Joe, but Davidson pulls Hoshi down and she hits the back of her head on the side of the cage. Davidson then places Hoshi in a headlock while Steve Blake gets to his feet. Steve motions to Joe and Joe nods. He places Hoshi on his shoulders as Steve steps up onto the ring apron. Steve leaps off and actually kicks Joe Davidson in the face which draws boos from the crowd. A terrified Hoshi scrambles to the door and out to the floor while Blake stands over now former tag partner Joe Davidson. The referee declares the Yakamoto Sisters as champs while Steve Blake stands over Joe with a smirk crossing his face.

Ricky Simms - Why the hell woul Steve do this? Decades as allies and it comes down t this moment? Why?

The tag titles are handed to the Yakamoto Sisters, but Kira hands hers off to Hoshi and re-enters the cage. They have a few words about what happens now and Kira then slips under the bottom rope into the ring while Steve Blake exits and referee Mark Davis pulls Joe Davidson out of the cage. The crowd is not happy with the retreating Steve Blake, so doesn't seem to be upset with losing his chance to be a tag team champion. Kira is then attacked inside the ring by Slim Pickens who was apparently hiding under the ring since before the cage was lowered. The crowd boos his attack as the referee looks on. We then see Moose, Lucy Johnson, Jake Masterson and Wren SilverPhoenix rushing down the ramp to enter the cage. They are all shoving each other as they charge inside. The bell sounds and the big finale to this match is underway.

Ricky Simms - Now for the insanity. All three singles titles are on the line between these six wrestlers. To win the Vivid-Gore Title, you have to smash your opponent through the glass wall on the one side of the cage and then pin your opponent on the floor. To become the Rocky Mountain champ, you have to climb the ladder and retrieve that belt. To become the World Champ, you have to escape through the top of this cage. This should be some frenzied action to be sure.

Wren grabs a ladder from under the ring and shoves it under the bottom rope. Lucy happily grabs that ladder and starts to set it up under the Rocky Mountain Title. Wren slides into the ring and pulls the feet out from under Lucy before she has a chance to climb and then she chokes Lucy while telling her that the belt belongs to her. Wren then stands Lucy up, slams her head into the ladder and then gives her a German suplex to the mat. Outside the ring, Jake Masterson and Slim Pickens trade punches while Kira climbs to the top rope in the corner. She then leaps off and sends both Slim and Jake to the floor as she tries to win her second belt of the night. Moose opts to enter the ring and trips the feet out from under Wren before he starts to make his way up the ladder. Lucy gets to her feet and dropkicks the side of the ladder, sending Moose over the top rope and into the side of the cage. Lucy then sets the ladder under the belt only to take a side Russian leg sweep to the mat from Wren. Wren then starts choking Lucy and shouting at her that the title belongs to her.

Ricky Simms - Wren is intent on keeping her Rocky Mountain belt. Lucy is trying to prove her worth as a main event talent on the grand stage here and she is doing well thus far. This young lady has a lot of talent for this. Now, conspicuous by their absence are the defending champion Bullrush and Effing Legendary. First Degree apparently has an injury he has been battling, but management is not impressed with Bullrush not being present to defend his title and, it is my understanding he has been fired from the CWA. I will work to confirm this, though.

Moose gets to his feet on the floor and takes a clothesline back to the floor from Slim Pickens. Kira pulls Jake Masterson to the glass wall of the cage and slams his head into it. Primetime answers with a knee to the gut and slams Kira into the glass wall, but it doesn't break. He then picks her up over his shoulder and runs her towards the corner buckle. Kira slips off of his shoulders and runs him head first into the corner post. Kira then pulls Jake back to the glass wall and again slams his head into it, but is unable to break the glass. Slim stands Moose up and takes a jawbreaker from Moose who then starts climbing the cage in the corner towards the trap door at the top which marks the exit to become the world champ. Slim reaches up and grabs Moose's feet and pulls him down to the floor where he gives him a series of forearm smashes and knife edge chops. Inside the ring, Wren places the ladder on the throat of Lucy Johnson and then she starts to climb towards her title. Lucy manages to lift the ladder and it falls sideways, sending Wren out to the floor where she lands on Slim Pickens.

Ricky Simms - Wow, that looked brutal! I don't know how Slim will be able to come back from that one!

Moose gets to his feet and starts climbing the cage again. Wren reaches up and pulls him right back down. Kira, meanwhile, takes a series of forearm smashes to the jaw from Jake Masterson and he whips her into the glass wall only to see it not break once again. He curses and actually kicks it, which causes the referee to tell him that's not the way to break the wall in this match. Masterson has a few unkind words for the referee while he stands Kira up. Kira gives Masterson a spinning heel kick that sends him down to the floor. Kira then gets to her feet and slips under the bottom rope into the ring. She sets the ladder under the belt, but finds herself face to face with Lucy Johnson and then they start trading punches and kicks. Lucy then whips Kira through the ropes and hard enough to send her through the glass wall of the cage and out to the floor. Jake Masterson then rolls out onto Kira for the pin. 1...2...3! Jake Masterson gets the win and retains the Vivid-Gore Title!

Ricky Simms - Two titles are left to be decided now. PrimeTime keeps his title in dramatic fashion with an assist from Lucy Johnson. The crowd isn't overjoyed with this result.

Masterson gets to his feet on the floor and then grabs the Vivid-Gore Title from the referee. He shoves the referee aside and holds the belt high. He then goes around the ring and grabs the microphone from Jen Hawkins.

PrimeTime - I would love to stay in that ring and risk it all, but I don't want to damage my fine looks. You guys beat the hell out of each other. I'm out. Ladies, PrimeTime is now.

He tosses the microphone back to Jen Hawkins and heads up the ramp where we see a trio of young ladies are waiting for him. He wraps his arms around them and shows off his title belt. Inside the ring, Wren slips in and grabs a hold of the ladder. Lucy shoves Wren away from the ladder and they start arguing again. Moose slides into the ring while the two ladies argue and he sets the ladder up. He slowly starts to climb the ladder while Lucy and Wren have words. Lucy shoves Wren backward and then they both spot Moose climbing, and almost at the top as well. They both shove the ladder and Moose falls forward, doing a full somersault off the ladder and down to the floor in a heap. Slim Pickens is then seen climbing the side of the cage. Wren spots this and jumps to the top rope, leaps off and dropkicks Slim in the back, which causes him to fall to the floor in a heap as well.

Ricky Simms - Lucy and Wren might be ladies, but they are in better shape than the men here.

Kira is then seen struggling to pull herself back into the cage, not giving up on her dream to hold singles gold. Her arms have been cut by glass and there is a trickle of blood running down her cheek as well. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring where Lucy greets her by putting the boots to her. Lucy then sets the ladder up under the title belt, but Wren pulls the feet out from under her and drags her out to the floor. Wren and Lucy trade punches there and Wren then rakes the forehead of Lucy on the steel mesh wall of the cage. Lucy knees Wren in the ribs and then rubs her forehead along the mesh as well, so both ladies are bloodied now. Moose starts to slowly get to his feet and heads into the ring. Kira is climbing one side of the ladder and Moose starts to climb the other. At the top, the two meet and start trading punches. Lucy slips into the ring and shoves the ladder over. Both Moose and Kira fall to the floor and out of the open wall where the glass had been and onto the shards that remain outside.

Ricky Simms - My God, that has to hurt! Moose and Kira are out there, Kira out there for the second time now! Lucy has been carving Kira up with glass, intentional or not.

Lucy manages to steady the ladder under the Rocky Mountain belt once again. Lucy starts to climb the ladder inside the ring. Wren slips into the ring and actually starts climbing the ladder on the other side. Moose starts to crawl back into the cage. Slim grips the side of the cage with all the strength he has left. Lucy and Wren reach the top of the ladder and start trading punches. Lucy slams Wren's face into the top of the ladder. Wren slams Lucy's face into the top of the ladder as a response. They eye gouge each other. They both reach up and grab the Rocky Mountain belt. Moose then gets to his feet inside the ring and shoves the belt over. Lucy and Wren hang from the rope that holds the belt and kick at one another while the fans cheer.

Ricky Simms - Both women are holding on for dear life, trying to become the champ! Slim is climbing the cage towards the trap door on the other side of the ring!

Moose spots Slim climbing the cage and runs up the ladder that's resting against the top rope. Moose leaps from the ladder and right against the back of Slim Pickens. Moose falls backwards to the floor while Slim screams in pain and grabs at his back. The fans cheer wildly as he manages to hold on. Lucy kicks Wren inside the ring and Wren falls. Wren jumps to her feet and screams in agony as Lucy now comes down to the mat with the Rocky Mountain Title in her hands. Wren clotheslines Lucy to the mat and starts putting the boots to her while Moose manages to start climbing the side of the cage behind Slim Pickens.

Ricky Simms - Lucy is the Rocky Mountain champ, but Wren is making her pay for that win!

Wren grabs the Rocky Mountain Title from Lucy and readies to whip her with it, but Kira Yakamoto makes her presence felt by dropkicking Wren in the back and sending her falling onto the middle rope. Kira then gives Wren a 619 to the delight of the fans. Kira then retrieves the title belt and tosses it into the ring to Lucy Johnson who is bleeding, but seems to be pleased at her title win. Slim manages to get the door at the top of the cage open, but Moose grabs his foot and refuses to let go. Kira starts to climb the cage and she reaches up and grabs onto Moose. Moose screams at Kira to get off and kicks at her. Slim then kicks down and catches Moose in the face with a big boot and then he pulls himself up at the same moment. Slim escapes onto the cage roof and the referee calls for the bell while the arena comes unglued with excitement.

Ricky Simms - My God! Slim Pickens is your champion! The fans are going crazy.

Moose still climbs the cage after kicking Kira off the wall and he pulls himself onto the roof. Moose offers to shake hands with Slim. Slim looks towards the fans and agrees to shake hands with Moose. Moose pulls him close.

The Moose - Enjoy it while you can, Slim. I won't be denied again.

Moose then climbs down the outside wall of the cage and drops to the floor while Slim stands on top of the cage, seemingly on top of the world as the CWA champion. Lucy Johnson poses inside the ring with her title and they make the perfect picture to end the show, the crowd delighted to see these hard working wrestlers get their spot in the main event, their golden moments realized.

Ricky Simms - I could not be prouder to be a member of the CWA right now. Fans, it doesn't get any better than this. Doc, I won't miss your crap at ringside here. These wrestlers deserve our respect, especially after a show like this.

We fade to black on a split screen of Lucy and Slim as the two top stars in the CWA at this very moment. Who knows what might change at the next Assault?
