Good luck.

To be fair...The only music I changed was my own. 

I don't know what I hate more:

That I'm only billed as 5'6"

Or

That I'm billed from NYC

Double yuck.

EDIT: Fucking major kudos though to Alyon Mac for giving me a bad ass theme song!

This is my year to rise above jobber!

Mathews: Hey Phil.

Punk: Damn it, Josh. I’m pretty sure we’re recording.

Mathews: Does Vince know you’re doing this?

Punk: Who cares? I don’t work for Vince.

Mathews: I thought you were doing the Fox show now?

Punk: Yeah, but I work for Fox.

Mathew: Oh, so you can do this.

Punk: Yeah. How does TNA feel about you doing this?

Mathews: It’s Impact now, but yeah, they don’t know.

FFCW Quake
“The End” Episode 1
FFCW Arena
Chicago, Illinois

[The opening video package features a red, white, and blue color scheme. It shows such talent as jTj, PI, KJ, WP, PB, and more. The camera ends by focusing on General Manager, AM.]

Mathews: Good evening, and welcome to the first Quake of the new era!

Punk: They’re calling it The End, Josh. Do you really think it’s the end? God, I hope so.

Mathew: I’m happy for the paycheck!

Punk: I guess there’s that.

[Vilify by Device plays throughout the crowd. There is some confusion when KJ makes his way through the curtain. He’s wearing an all black suit carrying a manila envelope.]

Punk: I thought AM was the General Manager.

Mathews: He is. KJ certainly isn’t dressed to wrestle.

[KJ enters the ring and rips the microphone from the hand of the ring announcer.]

KJ: In this envelope, I hold different W2s I’ve received from FFCW over the past six years. What they all have in common is that they are all for more money than any of you idiots will see in your lifetime.

The difference is they have all been sent to me from different companies. I’ve been working for this promotion off and on for six years now. Most of the guys in the locker room have. It’s almost always the same guys, but it’s always a different financial backer. It’s always “going to be different this time”. New champions. New ideas. A new front.

What’s the idea this time? What’s the reason that I’m here to collect a check from...I don’t even know who this time. The difference...is me. I’m not the General Manager. I’ve done that before, and I’d argue I was the best there ever was. No. This time I’m going to do something that should have been done a long time ago.

I’m going to put this promotion out of its misery. So let this serve as a warning to everyone in the back. One way or another. I’m going to make sure this is the end. When it’s done this time, it’s never coming back. And I will do anything to ensure it. This is the final nail in the coffin of FFCW.

[He drops the microphone in the middle of the ring and jumps out of the ring.]

Mathews: What the hell does that mean?

Punk: He’s going to put this company out of its misery. What else does it mean, Josh?

Mathews: I don’t know, but we need to send it to the ring for our first match.

[The crowd pops as Hotel California plays. They sing along changing it to ‘Hotel Malifornia’ as Mal makes his way through the curtain.]

Mathews: All right! It’s great to see Mal back in the ring here in FFCW.

Punk: I remember when this guy used to buy a ticket. Trained at only sixteen years old. He literally had to wait before they’d let him wrestle his first match.

Mathews: Many people don’t know his first match was for the FFCW World Championship.

Punk: That’s right. One hell of an eighteenth birthday present. He got his ass kicked.

[Wild Thing by X plays. BIG EVIL MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THE CURTAIN. HE HAS A BEER IN HIS HAND, AND THE CROWD IS SINGING ALONG.]

PUNK: SPEAKING OF GETTING HIS ASS KICKED!

MATHEWS: WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

BIG EVIL: I AM THE SWEARINGEST MOTHERFUCKER IN THE WHOLE DAMN JOINT! CAPS LOCK ON! IT’S BIG EVIL TIME!

PUNK: THIS IS AMAZING!



BIG EVIL: DON’T YOU STOP THAT FUCKING MUSIC!

SINGLES MATCH
MAL VERSUS BIG EVIL
THE FUCKING BELL RINGS, AND BIG EVIL KICKS MAL’S GOD DAMN HEAD OFF. NOT LITERALLY. HE PICKS HIM UP. POWERBOMB. HE PICKS HIM RIGHT BACK UP LIKE CHRIS JERICHO USED TO DO. DOUBLE FUCKING POWERBOMB. AND ANOTHER ONE! HE PUTS HIS WEIGHT ON HIS SHOULDERS. THE MUSIC HASN’T STOPPED. 1...2...3. MOTHERFUCKER.
THE WINNER IS FUCKING BIG EVIL

[THE MUSIC IS STILL PLAYING. BIG EVIL PICKS MAL UP AND PATS HIM ON THE BACK. HE CLIMBS OUT OF THE RING AND GRAB HIS BEER. HE DUMPS IT ON HIMSELF BEFORE DOING A LITTLE AIR GUITAR SOLO. HE HEADS BACK UP THE RAMP AS THE SONG ENDS.]

Punk: THAT WAS THE FUC- Whoa. That was amazing. Maybe I don’t want this to end?

Mathews: Big Evil just turned it up to eleven, kicked some ass, and kept on partying. What a force.

Punk: I’ve never done drugs before, but I imagine it feels something like that.

[The cameras cut to the back where Mal is coming through the gorilla position holding his head. People are asking him if he is ok when GCB approaches him.]

GCB: Maybe it’s time to go back to hosting talk shows.

Mal: Maybe it’s time for you to go back to serving as the bodyguard of a crazy guy.

GCB: As far as I know, he doesn’t work here this time. Besides, I turned that into a fairly formidable tag team.

Mal: True.

GCB: Speaking of a tag team. We were the top graduates of the last training class.

Mal: You want to team with someone who just got killed?

GCB: Sure. You’ve got something to prove just like me. You down?

Mal: I’ll try anything once.

[The shake hands. We cut back to commentary.]

Mathews: Some interesting information learned there.

Punk: Yeah. Mal isn’t straight edge.

Mathews: Either way. If these two want to prove themselves in a tag team division, they will have their work cut out for them as we have a big tag team match coming up next.

Punk: Let’s send it to the ring.

[The crowd boos as Nirvana’s The Man Who Sold The World plays. Radikal and Raven Star make their way through the curtain sporting flannel tucked into their gear and thick brimmed glasses.]

Punk: I think I figured it out.

Mathews: Why you fucking hate these two so much?

Punk: Why I fucking hate these two so much. I think it’s that they come out to the Nirvana version instead of the Bowie.

Mathews: I think we figured this out.

Punk: We probably did. I tend to block this shit out between reincarnations.

[The crowd pops when Princes of the Universe by Queen plays. Legacy- WP and PB make their way through the curtain.]

Mathews: Many people would call these two the greatest team in the history of FFCW.

Punk: They also had one of the more memorable feuds.

Tag Team Match
The Men Who Sold The World (Radikal and Raven Star) versus Legacy (WP and PB)
The match starts with WP and Raven Star delivering some flashy high octane offense. WP goes for a springboard maneuver when Radikal kicks out the middle rope causing WP to go through the ropes to the floor. PB gets upset by this, and the official holds him back as the Ohioans deliver a double team assault. Raven tags in Rad who uses his size to put WP in a bad way. PB is trying to get the crowd behind his partner, but Will just cannot get to the ropes. Finally, he ducks a like from Radikal and makes it to PB. The Suplex King comes in and immediately begins to throw the Men Who Sold the World around the ring. Things are clearly in favor of the Legacy. He gets Raven Star up for the Legacy Bomb, but Radikal breaks the pin. PB suplexes Radikal over the top rope while WP hits Raven Star with the Solo Sault! The Legacy poses for the crowd! PB goes for the pin. 1...2...Rad pulls Raven’s foot under the bottom rope, but the official doesn’t catch it...3!
Winners, by pinfall, Legacy (PB and WP)

[The official raises Legacy’s hands as the crowd cheers.]

Punk: WP and PB clearly one of the greatest tag teams in FFCW History! Big win!

Mathews: What’s going on?

[Radikal and Raven Star are arguing with the official saying his foot was under the rope.]

Mathews: I think they’re saying his foot was under the rope.

Punk: This is pro wrestling. We don’t have instant replay.

Mathews: I guess you’re right. Let’s send it to a video package.

Maebashi, Gunma, Japan

Winnipeig, Manitoba, Canada

WMVP Returns in Two Weeks

[The video ends and WMS is at the commentary booth.]

WMS: Now I’ve been in the back listening to your funny haha bullshit all night, and I’m going to tell you that’s gonna need to stop. I’m about to head over to that entrance and come down to the ring for my match, and when my match is going on, I don’t want any of yer bullshit. Are we clear, lads?

Punk: Why is there even a third headset?

WMS: I’ll hold up this whole damn show. I’m not even going to compete if you don’t promise me you’ll cut the silly bullshit you’ve been doing in the other matches. I want some Gordon Solie shit out here. None of this funny haha bullshit.

Mathews: You’re in the main event-

WMS: Promise me!

Punk: Fine! We promise you.

WMS: Damn right.

[WMS looks annoyed as Riders on the Storm by The Doors plays. He walks over to the entrance ramp, exits, and comes back out throwing his arms up. He tears up a few signs before shaking his head in disgust.]

Punk: This isn’t really the main event is it?

Mathews: I think. It’s the last match I’ve got on my format.

Punk: I think you were scared.

Mathews: I’m not scared. The guy’s an asshole.

Punk: He really is. My question is though, who makes his gear? Did he get those plain black trunks and plain black boots on Highspots? Or are those customs?

[The crowd explodes when Started from the Bottom by Drake plays. The lights go down except for a single spotlight in the entrance way. Shinobi Musashi shadow boxes in the spotlight for a minute before throwing his hands up into the air and walking down to the ring.]

Mathews: Some say Shinobi Musashi is the greatest FFCW star to not hold the big one.

Punk: I mean, former multiple time Sub Forum Champion. That was kind of his belt, but he was really a victim of time. Every time he started to get real hot, things went South business wise. I’m not saying those two things are related. A lot of people would argue the trigger should have been pulled sooner a few times.

Mathews: This could be his time.

Singles Match
WMS versus Shinobi Musashi
The two circle around each other in the ring a bit. WMS goes for the referee’s hold, but Shinobi throws up a foot kicking him in the arm. WMS yells at the official for allowing him to kick him. They circle around again, and Shin throws another kick. Wisey jumps to the floor and yells “Tell him to stop fookin kickin me!” The official starts to count him out. He walks up the steps and tells the official to hold Shinobi back. He keeps the official in the middle and pokes Shinobi in the eye! He hits him with a clubbing blow before slowing things down. He applies a chin lock, but the crowd is behind Shin willing him back to his feet. WMS grabs him by the hair and throws him back down to the mat. He begins to argue with the official while stepping on the throat of his opponent. The official notices this and demands he get off. The crowd explodes when Shinobi kips up! He begins to throw wild kicks which barely hit, but he has lost his temper. He throws him with a hip toss before dropping down into position. KO Kick to the back of the head! Shinobi goes for the pin. It’s over!
Winner, by pinfall, Shinobi Musashi

Punk: The KO Kick has to be one of the most lethal finishes in the game.

Mathews: It truly is.

Punk: You have to think Shinobi is going to be in line for a title shot in the near future.

[The official is checking on WMS who shoves him as soon as he comes to. “What happened!? Did he fookin kick me? I told you not to let him fookin kick me!” He knocks over a camera man before making a mess of the papers at the announce table.]

Mathews: Hey!

Punk: How are we supposed to know what segment is next?

Mathews: WMS is a real sore loser. Let’s send it to the last pre-tape we have.

[Greg is wearing a clip on tie and a Muppets button down shirt.]

Greg: What’s going on, guys? It’s uhh. Your buddy, Greg! I, uh, apparently missed out on some credits for me journalism class, so I uh, am going to do some funky cool journalism for FFCW! Real journalism man. None of the fake news stuff. Oh, and I’m also the FFCW 24/7 Champion.

[DISCLAIMER: FFCW Management does NOT recognize a ‘24/7 Championship’.]

Greg: I’m going around the world interviewing some FFCW Legends and challenging them for my FFCW 24/7 Championship. It’s always on the line. So anyways, I’m here to interview a former FFCW World Champion. Fellow Cananananadian. RT! What’s going on?

RT: Not much, Greg. Not much.

Greg: Watch it, cat! Don’t you try to take my FFCW 24/7 Championship!

RT: I...wasn’t going to.

Greg: You know it’s on the line twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

RT: I sort of assumed as much.

Greg: Well, uh, yeah. Didja get the questions I emailed you?

RT: I don’t...think so? Let me check. You sent these like five minutes ago.

Greg: Yup. They’re pretty good questions.

RT: So you want me to just...You know what, Greg? Nevermind. I don’t need you, and I don’t need your questions. When I was on top of the world in FFCW, I was a party animal. I drank as much of the cheapest beer at the bar. I tried to remember to text my wife when I got back to the hotel. I’d be hungover FaceTiming my kids in the morning. Now, I enjoy an IPA sometimes. I’m a good person. I coach my son’s hockey team. All of your questions were about who I wanted to fight, what championship I was going to go after, and whether or not we’d see the return of The Real NoRTh AMericans. None of those questions are relevant. One of your questions was relevant though. ‘What do you want to accomplish?’ I want to be a good dad. I want to be a good husband. I want to be a good man, and I am. I’m not coming back.

Mathews: Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting that.

Punk: Neither was I.

[Greatest Show plays as FFCW General Manager, AM with the FFCW World Championship draped over his shoulder. He enters the ring and takes a microphone.]

AM: Thanks to Greg for...whatever that was. I didn’t really want to put myself in the spotlight too much as General Manager, but I was hoping for at least one Real NoRTh AMericans reunion. I understand though. We’re all older. We’re all wiser. For all intents and purposes, this is a very different FFCW than what some of you may remember. I think it’s going to be a good difference though. More focus on competition. More focus on respect. That’s my goal anyways. My goal is to give this promotion the end it deserves.

That starts with the FFCW World Championship. I am going to crown the FFCW World Championship right now. There isn’t going to be a tournament. There isn’t going to be a battle royal. I’m in charge, and I get to decide. There’s one guy in that locker room that I feel deserves this championship. Don’t worry. It’s not me. This guy would have never agreed to this if I had told him, so he doesn’t even know. Please welcome your FFCW World Champion, jTj!

[The crowd pops as God’s Gonna Cut You Down plays, and the crowd explodes. jTj makes his way through the curtain. He’s wearing an FFCW t-shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots. AM shakes hands with him in the middle of the ring. AM then stops him and puts the championship around his waist.]

AM: I didn’t really give you the opportunity to prepare a speech, but I will do this. I want you to choose your first challenger-

[The lights go out! Sink to the Beat by Cursive. The crowd is cheering like crazy. When the lights come back on, PI is standing in the ring.]

AM: Can I help you?

PI: Listen, I’m not here to fight. At least, not right now. AM, you made some good points. We’re older. We’re more mature, and as for myself, I’m more focused. And Jeff can attest that a focused PI is a dangerous thing, and this time, I’m not focused on revenge. I’m not focused on ending the career of someone I hate. I’m focused on my legacy. I’m focused on one more FFCW World Championship.

[The crowd boos when Must Be The Money plays and T-Money walks on stage joined by Bambi. He has a microphone in his hand. He points to the entrance. What Up, Gangsta plays, and the crowd boos even more. The Kid walks on stage high fiving T-Money.]

Kid: Y’all know what this show needed?!

AM: 20 year old rap?

Kid: I’m gonna let you get that clown in because you’re the boss this time around. But what these people really want to see is some new people in the main event scene not the same dusty ass guys as we had in here a bunch of years ago. So, old man with the belt on, you get to choose who you gon defend against? Far as the K-I-D is concerned, you have two choices. Neither me nor T have ever held the big strap, and I know what you’re thinking. We pretty fly, and we’ve got bling to spare, but if you think we don’t wanna pimp that strap, you’re out of it.

T-Money: Somebody said mo money mo problems. Well, T-Money is here to solve y’all’s problems. With that belt come a bigger purse, and Bambi likes fancy things. I’m gonna have to take that belt from you.

PI: Tell you what. All I’m asking for is one match for the richest prize in the game with my best friend. After that, I’d be happy to kick either of your asses with the title on the line.

T-Money: I ain’t goin to the back of the line for nobody! I gotta be at the top of the list.

PI: How about I put you on the top of the disabled list right now?

Kid: I’d like to see you try you old bitch.

[Kid and T-Money start down the ramp, but jTj takes the microphone out of PI’s hand.]

jTj: Hold on. Don’t I have a say here?

AM: You do.

jTj: I’m going to be honest. I hate the idea of this title being handed to me.

Kid: Then drop it! Me and T will fight for it right now!

jTj: I’m not going to do that. On one hand, I’d really love to square off with my best friend, but on the other hand, I’d really like to shut the two of you up. Now, I’m not a match maker around here, but this is what I’d like to see. A tag team match. Me and PI versus The Kid and T-Money. If you win, my first defense is against the two of you in a Triple Threat. If we win, I get to have my match with my friend, and PI gets his title shot. AM, you’re the boss around here, how does that sound?

AM: Sounds like the main event of Show Your Allegiance.

Kid: That’s fine!

T-Money: We don’t care!

AM: Well, I’ll draw up the contract.

Kid: Yo, why don’t we shake on it?

[Kid and T-Money come closer to the ring. PI dives to the floor taking both men out! jTj shrugs as the closing credits start to roll.]

Mathews: One week removed from our big return, and it feels good to be back.

Punk: And our first pay per view back, Show Your Allegiance, has a main event!

Mathews: It sure does! We’re going to see jTj and PI take on The Kid and T-Money with huge implications for jTj’s first World Championship defense!

Punk: And we’re going to see one of those teams in action tonight. We certainly are, but-

[The crowd pops as Started from the Bottom plays. A well dressed Shinobi Musashi walks through the curtain. He comes down to the ring with a microphone in his hand. He gets into the ring, and the crowd listens to what he has to say.]

Musashi: I just want to start out by saying if Mac hadn’t enforced a dress code, I would probably be wearing a ratty King’s Road t-shirt and some athletic pants right now. This suit is about as comfortable as it looks. I guess this is what he’s talking about with an older, wiser FFCW. I’m not sure why my name was on the run sheet to open with a promo to be quite honest. I didn’t ask for this time. I’m not gunning for an immediate title shot. I’m not trying to end anyone’s career. I’m just happy to be here. I’m happy to be in the place that lets me be me. I have a real sense of belonging here, so I guess it’s good to be home-

CRACK~!

[The crowd erupts in boos as KJ levels Shinobi in the back of the head with a chair! He’s driving the chair into the body of the former Sub Forum Champion! He begins to choke Shinobi with the top of the chair before driving it into his throat repeatedly! Security comes barreling down to the ringside area, and they try to pull him off as best they can. Shinobi is covered in blood, and KJ has a deranged look in his eyes as Musashi looks confused and a bit lost.][/i]

Punk: What the hell is the matter with him?!

Mathews: This is what he was talking about! He wanted to kill FFCW! KJ said one way or another, he would make sure this was the end!

Punk: I’m no doctor, but I think Shin’s concussed.

Mathews: Medical personnel finally coming down to ringside. This was uncalled for. We need to cut to something else.

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER~!

[Files through the entire FFCW roster. Lands on NESS.]

“Choose me! You know you want to! Only Ness can take you down this incredible journey! We will fight all the way through. We will overcome THE SUPER BOSS!”

**Insert Coins to Continue**

Mathews: I love Ness!

Punk: What about the time he turned and joined The Moderators?

Mathews: I don’t think we’re supposed to remember that detail.

Punk: Hard reset. Got it.

Mathews: Yeah, it wasn’t working.

Punk: So we pulled him out, blew on him, and now we’re trying again?

Mathews: Exactly.

[WMS comes up the announce table.]

WMS: Why are ya talkin about that goofy bloke, Ness? I’m the one ya need to be talkin about. I’m about to regain my winnin ways here. Not like last week where I got kicked in the god damn head. Eht’s ok though. I saw what happened to Shinobi in the opener.

[Finally, Riders on the Storm plays.]

Mathews: Go do your entrance!

Punk: Yes! Please! Go be boring somewhere else.

[WMS rolls into the ring and yells at the entrance way asking who they’ve got. Let Me Hear You Scream plays, and the crowd gives a decent reaction as System comes through the curtain.]

Punk: The Red Menace has returned to FFCW!

Mathews: It’s been literally years since we’ve seen System in a singles role.

Punk: It doesn’t look like WMS is too happy to see the big Australian.

Singles Match
WMS versus System
The official is about to call for the bell when WMS makes his way over to the official. He says there’s no way they could possibly be in the same weight class, and he wanted the match thrown out. System goes down to his knees and asked Wisey if that’s better. He rushes off the ropes and hits System with a running knee strike to start the match. He goes for a pin, but he gets thrown off before the ref even gets to one. He continues with the offense though throwing on a headlock while the big man was off his feet. System uses the roar of the crowd to power back to his feet. He throws WMS for a backdrop, but the Brit lands on his feet. He goes off the ropes and hits a dropkick, but he bounces off System’s chest. The big man takes him down with a clothesline. System throws him around the ring. He lifts him up for a power slam and throws him down. WMS rolls onto the apron. System picks him up by the hair and hip tosses him back into the ring. He goes for the pin, but WMS gets his foot on the rope. The official notices. Wisey rolls to the floor. The crowd goes apeshit when SYSTEM DIVES TO THE FLOOR! The big man hits a scary suicide dive. System pulls him up and throws him into the ring. He applies the Systematic Demise, and the official calls for the bell.
Winner, by submission, System

Punk: How often do you see a big guy like that put somebody away by submission?!

Mathews: WMS’ losing streak continues.

Punk: Knocked out. Tapped out. Maybe next week he’ll get pinned.

[WMS rolls out of the ring and messes up the commentary table.]

WMS: What was that? We’re not even in the same damn weight class! Ridiculous!

Mathews: Well, we’re now going to send it back to Cathy Kelley who has an interview with the Australian Electric Company.

[We cut to the back where Cathy Kelley is standing by with Zap and Heavy Mike.]

Kelley: Gentlemen, we are just moments away from your return to FFCW. You asked for this time; why?

Zap: In a few minutes, I go one on one with WP, but last week, we had to sit at home and watch as the commentators and everyone on social media heralded WP and PB as the greatest tag team of all time. They kept calling them the greatest tag team in history, and I just don’t think that’s true.

Mike: Of course it ain’t true, mate. We’re the best tag team in history. And at Show Your Allegiance, we intend to prove it.

Kelley: How do you plan to do that?

Mike: By beatin’ em in a tag team match.

Zap: THUNDER!

Mike: THUNDER!

[The crowd starts singing along as Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. The Australian Electric Company make their way down to the ring. Heavy Mike and Zap high five several fans as they come down to the ring.]

Mathews: That interview area must be very close to the Gorilla position.

Punk: Nah. They recorded that hours ago.

Mathews: They did?

Punk: Yeah Kelley Cathy is sitting over there, don’t you see her?

Mathews: Well, anyways, a singles win tonight would be huge momentum for either team.

[The crowd pops as The Man by Aloe Blacc play and WP comes through the curtain. PB follows him dressed in street clothes.]

Mathews: I love this match up. The two flashy high flyers of the group.

Punk: They both have a similar dynamic in the small high flyer and the big hoss. Although PB is more of a judo style thrower who is crazy strong than an out and out monster like Heavy Mike.

Mathews: I’m told we’re going to see them in action next week.

Singles Match
Zap [w/Heavy Mike] versus WP [w/PB]
The match starts with both men launching at each other. WP goes high, Zap goes low, and they both miss! They look at each other, but they both look at their opponent’s corner man! Both men jump to the top and dive to the floor taking down the big men. The official starts a double count out, but they both slide back in. They exchange some arm drags, and they generally seem to be fairly evenly matched. WP delivering strikes in the corner when Zap throws him over the top to the floor. PB runs over to make sure Mike doesn’t do anything. WP gets to his feet when Zap goes off the ropes for a Suicide Dive, PB shoves him out of the way! Zap takes PB down, but Mike grabs him from behind delivering a German Suplex on the floor! Zap gets to his feet, and PB is stirring. He runs at Zap and spears him into Heavy Mike! All four men are down on the floor. Mike and PB help their partners up and throw them into the ring at the last second. They pull each other up exchanging strikes. Zap sends WP into the ropes, and Mike trips him! The official ejects Mike as Zap goes to the top rope. Zap is yelling at the official to pay attention as he goes for the Flash Splash. WP moves out of the way and grabs him for an inside cradle. The official counts to three!
Winner, WP

Mathews: What a wild match ending in a victory for WP!

Punk: Absolutely, Josh. A crazy match, and I cannot wait for Show Your Allegiance when these two teams clash- Hey! Isn’t that?

[The camera quickly turns to two guys in hoodies standing in the aisles in the audience. They quickly run back up the stairs when they see themselves on the tron. PB sees them, but they are too far gone so he shakes his head as he and WP head back to the locker room. The camera then cuts to AM in his office talking on the phone.]

AM: Dude, I know. Cathy Kelley was a great get. Who cares if she’s taller than half the wrestlers? I’m having her come back to interview me so I can make an announcement that could’ve easily been a graphic on social media.

[Greg walks in.]

Greg: Yo Mista Mac your majesty, sir?

AM: Let me call you back.

[Hangs up the phone.]

AM: What are you doing here, Greg? I thought you had assignments.

Greg: YOU SAID go out and interview FFCW Legends who are no longer active in the ring.

AM: So what are you doing here?

Greg: Sir, you are an FFCW Legend who is no longer in the ring.

AM: Where’s Cathy?

Greg: I heard you had a big announcement to make. Maybe that you want to challenge me for the FFCW 24/7 Championship?!

AM: There is no FFCW 24/7 Championship.

Greg: There sure is.

AM: Ok...I can’t believe I’m going to do this. Humor me, Greg. Where IS the FFCW 24/7 Championship?

Greg: It’s a my house. Mom didn’t want to pay the extra money to check it.

AM: Of course not.

Greg: Got another question for ya. Will you signings and bookings me?

AM: What?

Greg: I want to wrestle.

AM: Oh. Tell you what. You find someone willing to get in the ring with you, and you can have your match.

Greg: AWESOME! Now, uh, so the rumor on the word of the street is that a particular very important cat not of the self licking variety has a very-

AM: GREG! At Show Your Allegiance it’s going to be The Dazzler versus System versus Franchise versus WMVP for the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship. That was the announcement. Now, Gregory, I have a very important assignment for you.

Greg: I’mmmmmm ready! I’m-

AM: PLEASE. Forget where my office is.

Greg: But how can I-

AM: GET OUT!

[Greg exits.]

AM: Wait...GREG! What happened to Cathy?!

[We cut back to Justin Roberts.]

Roberts: It is now time for our MAIN EVENT!

Mathews: We’re going to see one of the teams that will compete in the main event of Show Your Allegiance!

Punk: That’s right.

[The crowd pops as Hotel Malifornia plays. Mal walks on stage as the crowd sings along with the song. ]

Punk: He went from being the annoying kid at independent shows to a guy who has main evented a few events here in FFCW. I’m wondering if this tag team with GCB could be the turning point.

Mathews: It could be a pivotal moment in either man’s career if the team takes off.

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked plays. GCB walks through the curtain to a mixed reaction. He makes his way toward the ring and fist bumps Mal before they both roll into the ring.]

Punk: This team could be very successful if they get off on the right foot tonight.

Mathews: Yeah, but the Power Duo has teamed before.

[THE LIGHTS GO OUT. Sink to the Beat plays, and the crowd begins to buzz. PI is seen in the ring when the lights go on. Mal and GCB are still on the floor. They look like they’re getting ready to hit the ring when God’s Gonna Cut You Down plays, and jTj starts walking down to the ring.]

Punk: I think GCB and Mal thought they were going to try something cute, but jTj isn’t going to let that happen.

Mathews: How important is it for jTj and PI to get the win tonight?

Punk: Well, if they want to get their singles match down the line, they are going to have to beat T-Money and The Kid.

Main Event
Tag Team Match
GCB and Mal versus Power Duo [jTj and PI]
The bell rings with Mal and PI starting out in the ring. The Masked Maniac hits him with the forearm right off the bat. He thrusts him into a neutral corner where he delivers a series of strikes. The official gets to a count of four before PI stops striking. He backs up before throwing his entire body into the corner. He throws Mal to the floor before going off the ropes with a corkscrew plancha to the floor! PI grabs a water bottle from a fan and throws it at Mal. He throws him into the stairs before throwing him back into the ring. He climbs onto the apron before climbing to the top rope himself. He goes for a Coffin Drop, but Mal rolls out of the way!

Punk: Hard to say if that was luck or skill, but Mal managed to stay alive!

Mathews: Can he get to his corner in time?

Mal tries to get to GCB, and he DOES! GCB comes in and goes off the ropes. He hits PI with a senton. He goes off the ropes and drops all of his weight on the smaller man, PI. He then slaps a headlock on PI. The crowd is fired up behind the masked maniac, and he powers back up to his feet. GCB grabs PI by the mask and jolts him back down. The official yells at GCB for grabbing the mask. He turns the official around, and Mal looks like he’s considering hitting PI. At the last second he sneaks in and throws a weak kick at him still doubting whether or not he wanted to cheat. jTj gets into the ring mad that Mal cheated. The official goes to hold him back and GCB tells Mal to put his boot up as he sends him in. jTj finally backs off. GCB lifts PI up in the corner. Muscle Buster! The crowd goes wild! GCB makes the pin. 1...2...NO!

Mathews: jTj has not even been in the match yet.

Punk: We talk about GCB and Mal having never teamed before, but it’s been years since jTj and PI have tagged. They’ve been fighting solo for so many years.

GCB is pissed that PI kicked out of his finish. He argues with the official, and Mal tries to get his attention as PI crawls closer to jTj. GCB doesn’t hear what he’s saying, but by the time he gets to Mal, PI TAGS JTJ! He comes in furious! Clotheslines GCB! Clotheslines Mal! He lifts the big man up...PATRIOTPLEX! He grabs Mal and gives him a PatriotPlex for his troubles. PI motions he wants to finish it. jTj tags him in. FLYIN PI! He hooks the leg! 1...2...3!
Winners, jTj and PI

Punk: Talk about a quick change of the tide!

Mathews: The FFCW World Champion and the man who wants to his number one contender.

Punk: If they can do that to T-Money and The Kid, we’ll get the match I think a lot of us want to see.

[The camera cuts to a monitor in the locker room where T-Money and The Kid are watching.]

T-Money: jTj call himself the champion. Who he ever beat?

Kid: Since this thing started back up, he ain’t beat nobody. We’ll show them what a real team looks like next week.

T-Money: Damn right.

©FFCW; A Division of Mind’s Eye Entertainment[/u]

This might be my second favorite fed these days, second only to #NWAPowerrr. Definitely ahead of WrestleSystem.

Only gripe is shinobimusashi making a big deal out of the dress code, and but then PB being allowed to wear street clothes with no mention. Seed planting for a future feud though, me wonders!?

Love this so much, so well written, fun and funny. Can't wait for more!

“The End” Episode 3
FFCW Arena
Chicago, Illinois

[The opening video package features a red, white, and blue color scheme. It shows such talent as jTj, PI, KJ, WP, PB, and more. The camera ends by focusing on General Manager, AM. Tonight, there is no intro as Thunderstruck by AC/DC is already playing! Big Mike walks down to the ring followed by his partner, Zap.]

Mathews: We’re starting things off with a hoss fight!

Punk: It’s going to be a good one, Josh.

Mathews: Last week we saw the high flyers of each group in action. Tonight, it’s the big men. I think it will be a very different match.

[The crowd pops big as Last Man Standing by Bon Jovi plays. PB comes through the curtain with WP behind him.]

Mathews: PB is a former FFCW World Champion.

Punk: Back when he was a member of The Moderators.

Mathews: That’s true, but he’s clearly not in that mindset anymore.

[The official is about to call for the bell when Justin Roberts waves him off.]

Roberts: I’ve just been informed WP and Zap are BANNED FROM RINGSIDE!

Mathews: Whoa!

Punk: I mean it makes sense. Big Mike and PB both got involved in the matches last week.

Singles Match
Heavy Mike versus PB
The official calls for the bell, and the two big men lock eyes. They circle each other a bit getting ready to strike. PB goes off the ropes and tries to hit Mike with a shoulder block, but it’s absorbed. PB invites Mike to show him what he’s got. The big man goes off the ropes, but PB doesn’t feel a thing. Mike turns away before throwing a big punch that is blocked! PB spins him around and throws him with a T-Bone Suplex! The crowd is in awe. Mike gets right back to his feet! He Irish Whips PB into the corner before coming in with a big splash! PB pushes him out of the corner and walks out as if nothing happened! They lock eyes and the crowd is buzzing. NO! Radikal and Raven Star come into the ring and hit both men with superkicks! The official calls for the bell.
No Contest

Mathews: We’re receiving word that WP and Zap were NOT supposed to be banned from ringside. It was a bogus note that got passed to an unsuspecting intern.

Punk: The Men Who Sold the World set a damn trap for PB and Heavy Mike!

Mathew: But wait!

[WP and Zap come running back down to the ring! All three teams are now brawling in the ring. Here comes security and referees! We have a pier six brawl!]

Mathews: We have to get this thing under control! Let’s...uh...Well, I guess we’re sending it to Greg.

Punk: Oh come on!

Greg: Hey man. Do you have anything to eat?

[Greg is in the home of ‘The Original Maniac’ turned ‘The Guru’ Phenom.]

Phenom: Yeah man. Of course. Do you want some kale chips or maybe some kohlrabis?

Greg: Nope. Don’t eat that.

Phenom: I’ve got some seaweed.

Greg: YA CAN’T SEAWEED.

Phenom: You can, and you probably should…

Greg: Can you get GrubHub out here?

Phenom: Now, I don’t know what that is.

Greg: Probably for the better. The GrubHub delivery driver would probably want to challenge me for the FFCW 24/7 Championship.

[NOTE: THE FFCW DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A 24/7 CHAMPIONSHIP.]

Phenom: Right on, man. What are you doing here?

Greg: Will you wrestle me?

Phenom: No.

Greg: Well then, I guess this interview is over. I’m gonna go get me a couple Happy Meals. Where’s the nearest Mickey D’s?

Phenom: I have no idea…

[We come back from the video, and Franchise and System are already in the ring. Fireworks by Drake is playing as The Dazzler slides in. In the Castle by Wolfmother plays as WMVP comes down to the ring.]

Mathews: We are a short way away from seeing these four men in a fatal fourway for the vacant Sub Forum Championship. These four men were randomly paired for a tag team match tonight. Let’s see how it pans out.

Tag Team Match
Franchise and System versus WMVP and The Dazzler
WMVP and Dazz rock, paper, scissor to determine that WMVP will start the match. Franchise goes to the apron and points to System to go in. He shrugs, and they start to circle each other as the bell rings. They chain wrestle for a bit, and the crowd is very much into it. System is getting outwrestled so he starts to throw WMVP around a little bit. WMVP is feeling it, so he goes to the corner to make the tag to Dazzler. System uses his size to intimidate Dazz at first, but he doesn’t relent. He turns up the speed of the match to try and get the advantage. WMVP and Dazz start to utilize frequent tags which make System even more dire in his need to get to Franchise. He finally hits WMVP with a big power move and gets to Franchise. He tags in before jumping to the floor, pulling System onto his shoulders and dropping him with a Samoan Drop on the floor! The official reminds Franchise he is the legal man as he walks back to the locker room forcing the official to count to ten.
Winners, by count out, WMVP and The Dazzler

[Dazz and WMVP both look upset that they won that way.]

Punk: At Show Your Allegiance, it will be every man for himself! Franchise may have done the smart thing.

Mathews: Taking the biggest man out of the equation will definitely make a difference going into the big match for the Sub-Forum Championship.



WMS: Of course it’s going to make a difference! He’s a smart bloke that Franchise! It’s why he used to run with me I figure. Might be a smart thing for him to do it again.

Punk: Don’t you have a match to get ready for?

WMS: No. Matter of fact, I don’t.

[WMS leaves the commentary table, takes a microphone, and rolls into the ring.]

WMS: Two weeks ago. I got kicked in the head by a god damn karate man kickboxer. Last week, I was beaten by an inflated monster who DEFINITELY wasn’t in the same weight class as me. So this week, they tell me I’m wrestling somebody else. Well, I got news for ‘em. I’m not.

Ya see, I’m a wrestler’s wrestler. I’m a mat technician. I’m one of the best in the world. The fact is, they call me the Most Serious Wrestler. They say WMS stands for Wrestling’s Most Serious, but the truth is, they say it as a damn joke. They don’t respect me. They don’t believe in me. They think I’m just a guy who they can put out here as a damn joke to put their big muscle heads over. But I’m not. Matter of fact, I’m takin a sabbatical. I’m not gettin back in the ring until they find me a quality, British, WRESTLER to go head to head with.

Come on our out here lad.



Punk: Who is that?

Mathews: I have no idea.

WMS: What’s your name, bloke?

“Darksoul5532”

WMS: Of course it fookin is. Well darksoul5532 is takin my spot in this match tonight.

[WMS walks out of the ring.]

Mathews: Well, it looks like we have a debut tonight.

Punk: What do you know about darksoul5532?

Mathews: Well, he’s got 27 posts, and he was last online on November, 19, 2017 at 10:08 PM.

Punk: What?

Mathews: I don’t know a damn thing. But this could backfire on WMS. This guy darksoul5532 could pick up a big win.

[The crowd explodes as WILD THING BY X STARTS PLAYING. BIG EVIL WALKS THROUGH THE CURTAIN WITH A FUCKING BEER ALREADY IN HIS HANDS.]

MATHEWS: NEVER FUCKING MIND!

PUNK: I FEEL LIKE I WILL NEVER NEED TO SLEEP AGAIN!

MATHEWS: I FEEL BAD FOR DARKSOUL5532.

PUNK: WHO?

BIG EVIL: DON’T YOU DARE TURN OFF THAT FUCKING MUSIC!

MURDER
BIG EVIL VERSUS DARKSOUL5532
THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE FUCKING BELL AND BIG EVIL OFFERS HIM A SWIG OF BEER WHICH HE REFUSES. BIG EVIL TAKES ONE LOOK AT DARKSOUL5532 AND DOES A SPIT TAKE WITH HIS BEER. DARKSOUL5532 RUNS AT HIM, BUT HE JUST STICKS HIS ARM OUT TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE. HE GETS BACK UP, BUT HE RUNS INTO ANOTHER LINE. BIG EVIL STUMBLES A BIT AS HE SETS DOWN HIS BEER. HE KICKS DARKSOUL5532 IN THE GUT BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH THE BIG BOMB. HE DROPS HIM A SECOND TIME HOLDING THE SHOULDERS DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT.
WINNER, BIG EVIL

PUNK: IS HE DEAD?

MATHEWS: I DON’T THINK SO?

PUNK: SO IT WASN’T REALLY A MURDER?

MATHEWS: NAH, BUT THAT SOUNDS WAY COOLER, DOESN’T IT?

PUNK: OH DEFINITELY.



PUNK: I LOVe him.

Mathews: That was surprisingly long. I’m out of breath.

Punk: Good.

**CREDITS 1/2**
**CREDITS 2/2**

Ness: It’s Ness here! Are you ready to go with me on the fantasitcal journey? Together, we will defeat THE SUPER BOSS! You’ve done great on all of the missions leading up to this, and it’s almost time for our Final Adventure! Are you ready? Pick me!

Are you sure you want to choose NESS?

[The crowd pops as Hotel California plays. Mal walks through the curtain. He stays in the aisle when Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked plays, and GCB makes his way onto the stage.]

Mathews: These guys failed to beat the Power Duo last week. We’ll see if they can find their path to redemption tonight.

Punk: Difference being, to my knowledge, Kid and T-Money have never teamed before, so it will be curious to see how they function as a team.

[The crowd boos as Must Be The Money plays, and Bambi comes through. She dances provocatively while it rains little fake dollar bills. T-Money then comes through the curtain and begins to dance with her.]

Punk: Didn’t there used to be two Money Honeys?

Mathews: Yeah, don’t you remember? The other one is Cassandra, The Dazzling Doll now. She’s married to The Dazzler.

Punk: Either way, this Bambi looks like the type of girl who works the lunch buffet at The Silver Slipper.

Mathews: What do you know about that?

[What Up Gangsta? begins to play, and The Kid joins T-Money on the stage.]

Mathews: Such an interesting dynamic heading into Show Your Allegiance. If T-Money and The Kid win, they get a triple threat match with jTj down the line for the FFCW World Championship. They have to accomplish something as a tag team before they can get singles glory.

Punk: They’ve never teamed before, and they’re both known for being selfish. It should be interesting.

Mathews: If we see either of them make the choice Franchise did earlier, it could jeopardize their chances of getting that title shot.

Tag Team Match
Mal and GCB versus The Kid and T-Money
Kid jumps Mal from behind right as the bell is ringing. He grabs him by the hair and throws him into the corner. The official yells at him, and he says he doesn’t care what the official says. He throws Mal into the corner before throwing a series of closed fists. The official gets between them and T-Money begins to choke Mal. GCB gets mad and comes into the ring. The official goes to intercept, and the T and Kid take advantage to double team Mal. T-Money and The Kid use some quick tags to get in and out of the ring. GCB gets the crowd riled up behind him. He’s trying to will Mal over. He finally gets there. He comes in and starts dropping Kid and T-Money. Kid rolls to the floor and grabs Mal pulling him to the floor. He throws him into the stairs. The official yells at him which allows Bambi to throw T-Money a pair of brass knuckles. He hits GCB before tagging The Kid. He pulls his arm between his legs, and Kid goes off the ropes and hits the No Kidding! He hooks the leg of GCB.
Winners, The Kid and T-Money

[Bambi hugs T-Money and The Kid as they rush to the back. GCB rolls to the floor and looks at Mal disappointed. GCB yells “What the hell are you doing?” Mal gets up and GCB pushes him back down.]

Mathews: That wasn’t Mal’s fault. He got thrown into the stairs.

Punk: Mal hasn’t won a match since this thing relaunched!

Mathews: Ok, but that wasn’t his fault. Hold on. I’m being told something is going on in the back. Can we get a camera back there?

[Kid, T-Money, and Bambi are backstage. Cassandra, the Dazzling Doll is seated next to a wall.]

Cassandra: Leave me alone.

Kid: Look, all I’m saying is you used to roll wit T and Bambi, and I dig Bambi. I just want a Money Honey of my own.

Cassandra: I’m not interested.

Bambi: Candi, you should be happy he even interested in you after all that weight you gained since you got married.

Cassandra: I’m pregnant you dumb-

T-Money: Hold up! Hold up! You ain’t about to talk to her like that and get away with it.

Cassandra: Get away from me!

Kid: Hold up. Hold up. This ain’t gotta be hostile. I’m just saying The K-I-D wouldn’t mind a lady at my side for my World Championship Celebration. A manager. A business partner. Nothin too personal.

[Dazzler walks into the shot wearing a towel.]

Dazzler: She’s not interested.

Kid: Listen, we talkin business.

Casandra: We don’t want any part of your business. Dazzler, either kick his ass or let’s get out of here.

Kid: HA! Girl, I don’t know if you know this, but I’m a main eventer around here. I don’t get in little scraps in the hallway. People pay money to see me fight. But how about this? Next week, I give your hubby his little moment in the sun, but when I beat him, you accompany me to the ring in the main event at Show Your Allegiance.

Cassandra: Fine. He’ll do it. Let’s go.

Dazzler: What?!

[The cameras cut back to the commentary table.]

Mathews: Punk, that was uncomfortable.

Punk: Yeah, The Kid wasn’t taking no for an answer. I’m just glad he didn’t put his hands on her, or I think I would’ve hauled ass back there to kick his ass.

Mathews: Yeah. A strange situation leading into next week for sure. Well, that’s all we have for-

[The crowd boos as Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin plays. KJ walks through the curtain. He’s wearing the black suit again, but this time he has a photo of Shinobi Musashi in his hands. He walks over to Justin Roberts and demands a microphone.]

KJ: It’s all about the game and how you play it. It’s all about control, and if you can take it. Last week, I took control of Shinobi Musashi’s fate. I took control of his future. I hit him repeatedly with a steel chair, and let me tell you; that felt good. It felt good to take Shinobi Musashi out of commission because he’s the type of guy who wants this company to last forever. He’s the type of guy who will fight tooth and nail for a place like this. And now he can’t. He’s on the list of “Greatest FFCW Superstars to never hold the World Title”. And he never will. With him at the helm, this thing could live forever.

Which is why I will never let him at the helm. There are a lot of talented wrestlers here. I recognize that. This is the greatest way to make a living in the world. I recognize that. But at the end of the day, this specific company will NEVER do right by the men who give their blood sweat and tears to it. It just won’t. It can’t. It’s marred by incompetent leadership. It’s marred by the people who pay the bills not giving a damn what happens between these ropes. It’s marred by the most incompetent fans in the wrestling industry. You don’t know what makes good wrestling. I am the best wrestler in this company, and you don’t deserve to see me. So that’s why this is a rescue mission. I want to save the boys in the back. I want to save them from all of you because no matter what they give you, you’ll never give them what they deserve back in return. If ticket prices were raised by two dollars, you would just stay home. If a guy like Mal tried to sell his t-shirts for $25, he wouldn’t sell a single one. You’re cheap. You’re fickle. You always let us down. You’re the reason this company never lasts.

I will destroy it not because it’s not good enough, but because you’re not good enough.

[The crowd is booing and throwing trash in the ring when Started from the Bottom plays. Shinobi Musashi walks on stage in street clothes with a microphone in his hand.]

Musashi: You see me, KJ? You see, this is what a man does when he has an issue with somebody. They don’t hit them in the back of the head with a chair. Now, I’ll admit I considered giving you a taste of your own medicine, but I’m trying to stay on management’s good side. Because the morning after your little assault on me, I got on the phone with management. I said give me KJ. Mac said I’d never find a doctor who would clear me...Well, I did.

KJ: So you want to wrestle me at Show Your Allegiance?

Musashi: I want to kick your ASS at Show Your Allegiance.

KJ: Fine. Let’s do it.

Mathews: Whoa! Huge match for Show Your Allegiance!!!

Punk: Is it just me, or did he agree to that way too easily?

Mathews: What do you get when you lose three weeks in a row?

Punk: Jobber entrance?

Mathews: Jobber entrance.

Punk: It’s too bad. I like The Eagles.

[The crowd boos as Immigrant Song plays. The man who will face Shinobi Musashi at Show Your Allegiance, KJ walks onto the stage.]

Mathews: KJ asked for a little tune up match before his big war with Shinobi on Saturday.

Punk: Mal has got to be worried especially after what happened to Shin two weeks ago at the hands of KJ.

Mathews: I certainly hope it doesn’t come to that here.

Singles Match
KJ versus Mal
KJ offers Mal a handshake before the match starts. Mal shakes his head ‘no’. KJ slaps him softly in the most insulting way possible. He quickly begins to be aggressive with the smaller rookie. He delivers brutal forearm strikes to the back before pushing him into the corner. KJ leaves giant hand prints on the chest of Mal. He throws him into the ropes and hits Idol Consequences. He wrenches back on Mal until he has no choice but to tap.
Winner, by submission, KJ

Mathews: He’s not going to be able to ragdoll Shinobi on Saturday.

Punk: Of course not. It probably won’t stop him from trying though.

Mathews: 0-4. What does Mal have to do to catch a break?

Punk: Quit?

Mathews: Nah. Let’s send it back to a video package for Saturday’s Sub-Forum Championship Match.

“What does it mean to be FFCW Sub-Forum Championship?”

WMVP: The best in-ring wrestler in the world.

System: More than a dumb heavy.

Dazzler: It means I’m back in the spotlight.

Franchise: More money. More power.

“Why are you going to win the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship?”

System: Because I have no other choice.

Dazzler: Because when I was FFCW World Champion, everyone called it a fluke. I want to prove it wasn’t.

Franchise: These other guys think they have the advantage over me, but I’ve already proven I’m smarter, ‘aven’t I?

WMVP: Because it’s MY belt.

“Who’s your biggest concern going into the match?”

Franchise: The big bloke, System.

Dazzler: The Monster, System.

System: The World Traveller, WMVP.

WMVP: Myself. I’m the only one who can stop me.

[We cut back to the ring where GCB is already waiting.]

Mathews: Interesting comments from the four contenders. How about one guy who will never be a contender?

Punk: Not if he doesn’t win this one. He’s 0-2 about to be 0-3.

Mathews: Come on. How do you know that?

[Wild Thing STARTS PLAYING AND YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT MEANS IT’S NOT GOING TO STOP. BIG EVIL MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THE CURTAIN. HE HAS TWO BEERS WITH HIM THIS WEEK, AND HE IS ALREADY STUMBLING.]

PUNK: CAPSLOCK ON BABY. LET’S SEE IF OLD GREASY CAN LAST LONGER THAN DARKSOUL8675309!

MATHEWS: THAT WAS NOT HIS NAME AND YOU KNOW IT.

PUNK: WHO CARES? IT’S YELLING AND CUSSING TIME, DAMN IT.

BIG EVIL: DON’T YOU STOP THAT FUCKING MUSIC!

SLAUGHTER
BIG EVIL VERSUS GCB
GCB IS ACTUALLY SMART ENOUGH TO RUN. HE GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR, BUT BIG EVIL GETS OUT THERE TO CHASE THE LITTLE RAT BASTARD. HE’S RUNNING WITH TWO FUCKING BEERS IN HIS HANDS. HE’S SPILLING A LITTLE BIT, AND THAT SHIT PAYS OFF! LMAO! GCB SLIPPED ON THE FUCKING BEER! BIG EVIL THROWS HIM INTO THE RING POST BEFORE HE THROWS HIM BACK INTO THE RING. HE HITS THE BIG BOMB. HE GOES TO LIFT HIM AGAIN, BUT HE SHAKES HIS HEAD AND JUST FALLS ON HIM. IT’S OVER.
WINNER AS IF YOU ALREADY DIDN’T FUCKIN KNOW, BIG EVIL

MATHEWS: GCB IS STILL A LOSER!

PUNK: WHO CARES? BIG EVIL RULES!

**STATIC**

BIG EVIL: THE FUCK?

LEVEL UP
SHOW YOUR ALLEGIANCE
BIG EVIL VERSUS…...NESS!

Mathews: Whoa! Does that mean Big Evil is The Super Boss?

Punk: I guess? We haven’t seen Ness since we’ve been back. He kept talking about The Super Boss. Maybe it’s a Big Evil Super Boss?

[An unwelcomed guest joins the table.]

WMS: That was some damn rubbish. That’s what that was. I’m glad I didn’t have to call it.

Mathews: What are you doing out here?

WMS: They said ‘Aye, if you’re not going to wrestle tonight, go cut a promo while we mop up the beer. Why’s he even allowed to have beer out here anyways? I’m no prude. I like to have a couple a pints after the show, but he’s sloshed! WHY DO THEY KEEP YELLIN AT ME?!

Punk: Get in the ring, moron! They want you to cut your promo in the ring. These headsets cannot be broadcast over the PA.

[WMS grabs a microphone and rolls into the ring.]

WMS: I shouldn’t even have to be here tonight. I’m not wrestling at Show Your Allegiance because there’s no way they’re going to find an opponent I’d be willing to face. I only showed up to pick up me paycheck, and they said ‘We ain’t andin out paydays til the end of the night, brother. Go out there and cut a promo while we mop up the beer, brother. I am a World Class Athlete. I’m the greatest British wrestler this company has ever-

[WMS is cut off by SHARP DRESSED MAN BY ZZ TOP! The crowd and WMS don’t believe it when JJ walks through the curtain.]

JJ: I hear you’re lookin’ for a match.

WMS: You want a match with me, old man?

JJ: You haven’t won a match since this thing started up again. I reckon I like my chances.

WMS: You reckon you- Fine! Let’s go, mate! You and me! Show Your Allegiance!

JJ: I’ll be there.

[Sharp Dressed Man plays again as JJ exits. WMS looks at the commentators and yells “I’m good with that. I like that!”]

Mathews: A huge match made for Show Your Allegiance.

Punk: Yeah. These two are usually in the discussion for the best British born FFCW star of all time. Now it’s time for them to go to battle.

Mathews: Speaking of best British born FFCW stars, one of them is going to be involved in the following match.

Punk: Yes. A preview of the match we found out is happening at Show Your Allegiance.

Mathews: That’s right. It’s going to be a triple threat match pitting The Legacy against The Australian Electric Company against The Men Who Sold The World.

Punk: For the FFCW World Tag Team Championships!

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Zap walks through the curtain conspicuous by the absence of Heavy Mike.]

Mathews: All three teams agreed to leave their partner in the locker room for this one.

Punk: Interesting. We’ll see if they actually follow through with that.

[The crowd boos as Smells Like Teen Spirit plays. Radikal comes through the crowd with a vape.]

Punk: He can’t really vape in here, can he?

Mathews: I don’t think so.

Punk: We get it dude, you vape.

[The crowd cheers as The Man by Aloe Blacc plays. WP makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: WP, without question, the most successful competitor of the three.

Punk: He definitely is. The whole Legacy reunion just seemed like a short term gimmick, but they’ve been back together for quite some time now.

Mathews: And Saturday, they try to capture the FFCW World Tag Team Championships.

Triple Threat Match
Zap versus Radikal versus WP
Radikal rolls to the floor to start the match. He throws his arms out and says he doesn’t care what happens. Zap and WP do a little bit of the anything you can do I can do better. The crowd leans toward WP, but they are impressed by Zap as well. WP goes for the first pin, but Rad drags him to the floor. He goes in trying to steal the pin, but Zap kicks out. Radikal works over Zap much to the dismay of the crowd. He delivers a series of low strikes while going for pinning combinations. WP comes back into the ring and gets some offense on Radikal. WP and Zap double team Radikal, and then take turns going for pins. They keep breaking each others pins. They get face to face and begin arguing. Rad throws a dropkick sending Zap into WP and rolls Zap up. WP jumps to the top and splashes onto both of them to break the pin. He throws Rad out and sets up for the Solo Sault. He nails it spot on! Radikal slides back in and hits him with the Rad-I-Kill before pinning Zap for the three count!
Winner, Radikal

Punk: Radikal stole it!

Mathews: Anything goes in a triple threat. He hit him with the Rad-I-Kill.

Punk: Come on, Josh! It was a little cheap.

Mathews: It was a little cheap I guess. I agree. Well, it looks like it’s time to send it to...Greg.

Greg: What’s up gang? It’s the FFCW 24/7 Champion, GREG! I’m looking for a fight here at the Wizards and Icon Con here in Sioux City, Iowa! Trying to find an opponent for Show Your Allegiance.

[Walks up to security guard.]

Greg: I’m Greg the investigative reporter for FFCW.

Security: It’ll be $35.

Greg: Oh, I’ve got a press pass.

[Greg pulls out a piece of paper that says ‘Presz Pass’ with grease spots on it in what looks to be red sharpie.]

Security: Press isn’t even spelled right.

Greg: I thought it’d be cool if I spelled it like Thesz. Like Lou Thesz. He was a rassler. I’m a rassler.

Security: So you made that yourself?

Greg: Sure did.

Security: $35, kid.

Greg: I just need to come in and interview a wrestler.

Security: Why don’t you go talk to him?

SPOILER: Click to show

(Imagine this set up in a parking garage)

Greg: So-so-so-soultrain Jones?! Vincent?! VIRGIL?! Will you wrestling me?!

Virgil: I thought you’d never ask.

Punk: Is that a real thing?

Mathews: I think so.

Punk: What the fuck.

Mathews: It's the main event.

[The crowd boos as What Up, Gangsta? plays. The Kid comes through the curtain accompanied by T-Money and Bambi.]

Mathews: This is a guy who is competing in this match because he wants another man’s pregnant wife to accompany him to the ring.

Punk: He’s scum. The absolute worst. I don’t even want to talk about him.

Mathews: So, we’re just going to sit here?

Punk: Until Dazzler comes out, yeah.

[Dazzler comes running through the curtain before Fireworks by Drake even starts to play. He runs down to the ring.]

Mathews: He ain’t waitin’!

Punk: Go kick his ass!

Main Event
*If Kid wins, Cassandra must escort him to the ring at Show Your Allegiance*
The Kid [w/T-Money and Bambi] versus The Dazzler
Dazzler doesn’t wait for the bell and immediately goes after The Kid. He hits him with a flurry of strikes as the official tries to get control of the match. He begins to choke Kid when he nearly gets disqualified. He finally backs down before he begins to strike again. Bambi jumps up on the apron, and the official goes to tell her to get down. T-Money slides in and chop blocks Dazz to take him off his feet while the official isn’t looking.

Mathews: Why are they allowed to be out here?

Punk: These guys will take any shortcut they can.

Kid now begins to deliver a series of strikes to The Dazzler. He starts to choke him on the middle rope. The official calls for the break, and he does it on four. He argues with the referee while Bambi chokes Dazzler on the ropes. The official catches her and starts yelling at her when Kid grabs Dazz and throws him to the floor. T-Money grabs him on the other side of the floor and hits him with The Money Maker! Kid tells the official to starts counting Dazzler out. He gets to about 7 when Kid tells T to throw him back in. The official yells at T-Money for putting his hands on him. Kid begins to pose as if he’s jTj. He lifts Dazz up and hits him with The PatriotPlex.

Mathews: He just hit him with jTj’s move! This is totally disrespectful!

Punk: But Josh, he’s so proud of himself. He’s about to win what’s essentially been a 3-on-1 handicap match.

Kid goes for the pin. DAZZ KICKS OUT! The Kid cannot believe it! He’s furious. He starts throwing sloppy punches of rage. He picks him up and sends him into the ropes, but Dazz springboards...DAZZLING KICK! Dazz goes for the pin. 1...2...NO! Kid kicks out! Dazz pulls out a Standing Shooting Star Press! 1...2...NO! Dazzler looks to the top. He heads up to the high rent district. T-Money gets on the apron. Dazzler hits him with a swift kick causing him to fall onto Bambi! There’s no one to interfere. Picture perfect Shooting Star Press off the top...into the knees of The Kid. He cradles him...with a handful of tights. 1...2...3!
Winner, The Kid

Mathews: He had the tights!

Punk: Damn it! Not like that.

[T-Money rushes into the ring to attack The Dazzler. The Kid starts putting the boots to him as well.]

Mathews: You won the match. What else left is there to prove?

Punk: I’m about to go in there.

[jTj and PI come running down to the ring!]

Mathews: We don’t have to wait until Saturday! Let’s go!

Punk: Please!

[T-Money and Kid immediately powder walking up the ramp with Bambi.]

*Card Subject to Change*

Earlier Today

[We see the sunny parking lot outside the venue. Train tracks behind the building which a train speeds by on. A car pulls into the parking lot. The Dazzler and Cassandra get out of the car.][/i]

Dazzler: I wish you would’ve stayed at the hotel.

Cassandra: I signed a contract. I have to do this.

Dazzler: Why exactly did you sign that contract?

Cassandra: I don’t know. Hormones. I’m three months away from having your child.

Dazzler: That’s why I’m worried about this.

Cassandra: Don’t worry. Focus on your title match.

Dazzler: Focus on my title match? How can I focus on my title match?!

Cassandra: Because. I’m going to go sit in YOUR locker room. My HUSBAND’s locker room. The FATHER of my child’s locker room, and I’m not going to leave until I have to go out in the main event. T and Kid may be a little sleazy, but they would not jeopardize the health of our child. They’re not that kind of psychopath.

Dazzler: You’re right. You’re totally right. I’m sorry I doubted you.

Cassandra: I love you.

Dazzler: I love you, too.

[The embrace and kiss. When the angle widens, a production assistant is in the shot.]

Assistant: Cassandra, you’re needed to report to The Kid’s locker room for a strategy meeting.

Cassandra: I’ll be back before your match. I promise.

SHOW YOUR ALLEGIANCE

[Pyro goes off, and we go straight to Josh Mathews and CM Punk.]

Mathews: Punk, we are live on FITE TV for Show Your Allegiance, and this is a special event!

Punk: It sure is, Josh. We’ve got Fucking Virgil on the card tonight!

Mathews: Card subject to change as always, but we do have a lot of action for you!

Punk: And we’re not waiting!

Mathews: We most certainly are not!

[Hotel California plays, and Mal walks through the curtain to a big ovation!]

Punk: Mal has the worst record in all of FFCW, and yet the people still cheer for him!

Mathews: Mal has a record of 0-4, but he hopes to get a win tonight.

Punk: His opponent doesn’t have a shining record, either.

[Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked play, and GCB comes down to the ring to some heat.]

Punk: These people are just here for the Virgil match. They don’t care about this.

Mathews: Come on, Punk. These are two blue chippers.

[Suddenly, AM appears on the screen.]

AM: I’m sitting back getting ready to watch this match when I ask myself, why is this match happening? Mal, you’re 0-4. GCB, you’re 0-3. Why am I giving the two of you pay per view time? I need this match to either really deliver or be really short. I think about you Generation Z kids, and you’re not really intrinsically motivated. You’re fine with just pursuing your art as long as you’re paid a living wage. You have no aspirations to work to be the best. So I tell you what, I have a contract here for an FFCW World Championship Match any time you want, anywhere you want. Whichever one of you is the first to score a pinfall, not just tonight, will get this contract. Score a pinfall and the contract is yours. Let’s call this ‘Pin It to Win It’. By the way, this promo went way over so instead of a ten minute time limit, this match will now have a five minute time limit.

Singles Match
Pin It to Win It Contract on the Line
Mal versus GCB
They start with some chain wrestling, and they’re both trying to get the pin. They are trying to get different pinning combinations. School Boy. Small Package. School Boy. Small Package. It’s all about the pin. GCB hits a German Suplex and bridges for the pin. Mal kicks out! They hit a myriad of reversals. 30 seconds! They engage in a strike fest. Mal catches him with a kick. Going for Malifornication! He hits it! Time runs out.
Time Limit Draw

Mathews: Dang! The pressure of the raised stakes wasn’t enough.

[AM comes back on the screen.]

AM: That offer stands, boys. You score a pinfall, you’ll get this contract. Don’t wait too long, though. You may not always be in the pool by yourselves.

Punk: AM with a take on the Money in the Bank contract. This could be a career changing opportunity for one of these kids. Pin It to Win It.

Mathews: What do you think he meant by them not always being in the pool by themselves?

Punk: I’m assuming more guys could get a shot at that Pin It to Win It contract.

Roberts: The following contest is a special Legends’ Challenge Match!

Punk: Come on, Justin. Using the term legend a little liberally there, aren’t we?

[Play That Funky Music plays, and Greg comes down to the ring. Nobody really knows what to think.]

Mathews: I can say without hesitation Greg is one of the strangest individuals I have ever met in my life.

Punk: That’s fair. NO! Don’t-

Mathews: Justin, why would you- Damn.

Greg: What’s up funky cats? What’s? What’s up with the funky...cats? Meowww. Meowww. Biggest match of my life tonight. It’s gonna be six or seven stars, Dave. You know, Dave? The Dave man. Mr. Daveman. He’s watching, right? Right? Is he watching?

[Roberts thankfully takes the microphone back.]

Roberts: I’ve just been informed that Virgil got in a fight with his Uber Driver on the way back from the Olive Garden, and therefore, Greg will a different opponent!

Mathews: What?! Come on!

Punk: I demand a recount!

Mathews: Who’s it going to be?!

Punk: Darksoul3352!

[The crowd is confused when When I Come Around by Green Day plays. A man in black pleather pants and long blonde hair comes through the curtain.]

Roberts: From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 215 pounds, The Savior of the New Generation, BAKER.

Singles Match
Greg versus Baker
Greg wipes his nose from his elbow to his palm before offering his hand to Baker. He laughs profusely when Baker doesn’t accept it. Baker takes a few steps back. SUPERKICK! He nearly kicked Greg’s head off. He picks him up. Razor’s Edge! He then grabs the legs of Greg and applies the Sharpshooter...GREG TAPS!
Winner, by submission, Baker

Cathy Kelley makes her way onto the ramp with a microphone as Baker heads toward the back.]

Kelley: Baker, can you tell us a little about yourself?

Baker: I’ve got Bret’s technique, Razor’s machismo, and Shawn’s swagger...if you know what I mean.

Kelley: I...I think I do.

Baker: Name’s Baker, and I’m The Savior of The New Generation.

Kelley: What exactly does that mean?

Baker: I’m going to do everything they did...Only better.

[Baker dances off as Cathy looks flush.]

Mathews: What an effective debut for Baker!

Punk: I’m looking forward to seeing more from the Saviour of the New Generation!

Mathews: Absolutely. But now it’s time for a match I’m quite excited for.

[The crowd boos as Riders on the Storm plays. WMS makes his way through the curtain. He stomps down to the ring with a sour look on his face.]

Mathews: I really hope this match just consists of JJ kicking his ass the entire time.

Punk: Right? He’s such a prick.

[The lights go down as Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top begins to play. The place explodes when JJ walks through the curtain. He plays a little air guitar on the ramp before walking down to the ring. He takes his jacket off and gets ready to fight.]

Mathews: Two mat based wrestlers. This should be a good one.

Punk: I can’t wait!

Singles Match
WMS versus JJ
WMS offers to start the match with a handshake, but JJ kicks his hand away. “Shake my hand!” WMS yells. JJ puts his hands behind his back. WMS slaps him in the face. “Shake it!” He shoves him into the corner and is trying to pull the arm out. The official comes over and calls for the break. He finally backs out and yells for JJ to shake his hand. JJ goes in for the shake, but he pulls his hand away. WMS begins to stomp and kicks the bottom rope. JJ grabs him from behind wrapping him up in a school boy roll up! WMS kicks out at one and rolls to the floor.

Mathews: JJ showing he’s a master of mind games.

Punk: He’s doing a great job of getting under Wisey’s skin, but I wish he’d just kick his ass.

WMS pounds on the mat before going over to the announce table and messing with them some. He messes with Josh’s hair and ruffles Punk’s papers before noticing the official has reached 7 on his count. JJ dives to the floor to a big reaction from the crowd! The Sharp Dressed Man grabs WMS and throws him back into the ring to finally get the match going some. JJ throws some kicks at WMS, and the crowd is very excited. He goes off the ropes and hits him with a basement dropkick. He goes for the pin, and the official gets into position, but WMS kicks out in time. WMS drop toe holds him onto the middle rope and begins to choke him. The official calls for the break, and he breaks on four. He hits JJ with a knee to the head before he begins to choke him again. Things are not looking good for The Gentleman. The official calls for the break again, and this time, he breaks at three. He applies a headlock. “You will shake my hand after I kick yer ass!”

Punk: WMS still upset about the lack of a handshake.

Mathews: He wants the respect of the legend.

JJ gets the crowd behind him as he gets to his feet. He pulls WMS over his shoulder and takes him down with a powerslam! He goes for the pin, but WMS kicks out. JJ goes off the ropes going for a back senton, WMS moves out of the way. Wisey tries to hook the leg and go for the pin. JJ kicks out! The crowd cheers as both men begin to circle each other. WMS yells “SHAKE MY HAND!” JJ responds “You want me to shake?!” JJ turns around and shakes his ass. The crowd cheers as WMS is livid. JJ dives through the ropes to the floor running away from WMS who is now chasing him around the ring. JJ slides back in, and when WMS follows, he gets him with a knee to the head. He applies the half crab. WMS is in pain. He’s got him right in the middle of the ring. WMS is scratching and clawing for the far rope, but JJ has it locked in! The official calls for the bell!
Winner, by submission, JJ

[WMS grabs the official by the collar.]

WMS: I didn’t tap! I didn’t tap! I was reaching for the ropes! I was reaching for the damn rope!

Mathews: I don’t think he tapped…

Punk: Of course he tapped!

Mathews: I guess it doesn’t matter what I think. The official’s decision is final.

Punk: That’s- oh come on!

[WMS comes over and grabs another headset.]

WMS: I didn’t tap. I would never tap to that washed up old- Either way, I WILL beat him. I’m GOING to beat him if it’s the last thing I do.

Part 1 of 3

Glad I finally made it to the big time but I hail from Baltimore, MD and enter to Final Countdown by Europe. I’ve never even been within 1600 miles of LA! And Green Day sucks!

Major props for the New Generation gimmick and nailing my 2003-04 look of pleather pants and long blonde hair though.

Roberts: The following triple threat match is for the FFCW WORLD Tag Team Championships!

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Some of the crowd is singing along as Zap and Heavy Mike make their way down to the ring.]

Mathews These guys are energized for this one!

Punk: They’ve been saying they’re the best for a minute. Now, it’s time for them to prove it.

Mathews: Without question. A win in this match would make them the first FFCW World Tag Team Champions of the last era.

[The crowd boos as Man Who Sold The World plays. Radikal and Raven Star make their way through the audience. They blow smoke from their vapes at anyone who tries to high five them.]

Punk: I fucking hate these guys.

Mathews: I know.

Punk:

Mathew:

[The awkward pause on commentary is interrupted by Princes of the Universe by Queen! WP and PB make their way through the curtain to a big ovation.]

FFCW World Tag Team Championship Match
Triple Threat
Australian Electric Company (Zap and Heavy Mike) versus Men Who Sold the World (Radikal and Raven Star) versus Legacy (WP and PB)
The bell rings, and all three teams are in the ring. The official tries to get only two in the match, but AEC and Legacy immediately jump Radikal and Raven Star. Mike and Zap double team Radikal in one corner while WP and PB double team Raven Star in the other corner. Both teams signal to each other for a double Irish whip sending the Men Who Sold the World into each other! Mike drops Raven with a big scoop slam. Zap heads to the top. FLASH SPLASH!

Mathews: Now this is the match we wanted to see!

Punk: Absolutely! Two of the best teams in FFCW finally going to war!

The crowd pops as the two teams face off in the ring. The place is buzzing. The official demands two of them go to the apron. WP and Zap go to the apron, and the two hosses come face to face. They shove each other a little bit. Mike goes off the ropes and hits PB with a shoulder block, but he doesn’t move. PB goes off the opposite ropes and comes at Mike, but he doesn’t budge either. Then, they begin to have a strike battle. PB grabs Mike and deadlifts him over his head with a German Suplex. He goes off the ropes and drops all of his weight on him with a splash! The official gets into position to count, but Mike bench presses him over his head and throws him off. They get up and lock up throwing body punches at each other in the side. Both men run to the ropes. DOUBLE CROSS BODY! They are both down!

Mathews: Both men desperately need to get to the corner!

Punk: Those two just threw everything they had at each other. They need to get a tag!

Radikal yanks Zap off the apron and throws him into the stairs! Raven Star grabs WP and throws him into a table. Raven tags PB who’s almost to the corner and drags him to the floor. Radikal jumps in attacking Mike, and Raven Star comes in as well for the double team. The official tries to get Radikal out of the ring. They both pick him up and hit him with a double Radikiller! They pick him up again and hit a double Nevermore! They both pin him. The official won’t count it unless Radikal gets out of the ring. He heads to the apron when Legacy slides back in. PB grabs Rad in a waistlock while WP dropkicks him! Zap slides back in, and now all six men are going at it! The official is desperately trying to get control of the situation. PB gets Radikal up and hits him with the Legacy Bomb! He puts him in the pinning predicament, but the official won’t count. “You’re not legal!” He yells! PB huffs and goes to the corner while Radikal goes to the floor. Mike hits WP with the African Earthquake, and the official yells that WP is not legal! Mike is arguing with him when Radikal pulls PB off the apron! Raven grabs Mike...NEVERMORE! Raven Star throws WP into Zap before going for the pin. He pulls the tights! The official doesn’t see it!
Winners, and NEW FFCW World Tag Team Champions, The Men Who Sold The World [Radikal and Raven Star]

Punk: They stole it!

Mathews: He had a handful of tights!

Punk: He sure did!

Mathews: He was so worried about getting two guys in the ring that he missed that!

[The camera cuts to the back where The Dazzler walks down a hall. He finds The Kid and T-Money sitting on some equipment cases.]

Dazzler: Where’s my wife?

Kid: What?

Dazzler: You heard me. Where’s my wife?

Money: We haven’t seen here.

Dazzler: Don’t feed me that bullshit. She’s been with you for hours.

Kid: Maybe in her dreams.

Dazzler: Tell me where she is. NOW!

Bambi: We haven’t seen her.

Money: Sounds like y’all got problems.

Dazzler: You’re gonna have a fucking problem.

[Dazzler swings at T-Money, but Kid attacks him from behind. They are putting the boots to him when the camera man sets down the camera to try and break it up. Then security comes running down the hall to try and separate them.]

Mathews: What the hell’s going on back there?

Punk: I don’t know. Something fishy.

[WILD THING PLAYS, AND YOU FUCKING KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! BIG EVIL MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THE CURTAIN WITH A BIG OLD CUP OF BEER WHICH HE IS SPILLING INTO HIS MOUTH. ]

BIG EVIL: DON’T YOU DARE STOP THAT FUCKIN’ MUSIC!

MATHEWS: AND WE’RE YELLING AGAIN!

PUNK: THE ADRENALINE IS FLOWING THROUGH MY VEINS, JOSH. CAN YOU FEEL IT?

MATHEWS: I CAN! I CAN FEEL IT!

PUNK: WHAT’S HE GOING TO DO WHEN NESS’ MUSIC PLAYS THOUGH? HE USUALLY COMES OUT SECOND!

[BIG EVIL IS HIGH FIVING MEMBERS OF THE CROWD AND OFFERS THE OFFICIAL A SWIG OF BEER, BUT IT IS TURNED DOWN. SUDDENLY, THERE IS SOME STATIC, AND…Super Mario Brothers Theme begins to play. Ness comes down to the ring while Big Evil looks furious in the ring.]

Mathew: I don’t think Big Evil is too happy that his song stopped playing.

PUNK: YEAH WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT?!

Mathews: You know you don’t have to yell anymore, right?

PUNK: BUT I LOVE IT!

BIG EVIL: PLAY MY MUSIC AGAIN! PLAY MY FUCKING MUSIC!

[WILD THING PLAYS AGAIN.]

SINGLES MATCH
BIG EVIL VERSUS NESS
BIG EVIL IS STILL YELLING AT THE PRODUCTION AREA WHEN NESS HITS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A RUNNING KNEE! BIG EVIL IS TAKEN OFF HIS FEET FOR THE FIRST TIME! NESS BEGINS TO SPAM BIG EVIL WITH FOREARMS. THE OFFICIAL BACKS HIM UP. EVIL GETS TO HIS FEET AGAIN. NESS GOES FOR ANOTHER RUNNING KNEE, BUT BIG EVIL MOVES OUT OF THE WAY. HE PICKS UP HIS BEER AND STARTS WORKING ON THAT. NESS GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND KICKS THE BEER OUT OF BIG EVIL’S HAND! “MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!” HE GRABS NESS BY THE THROAT. HE LIFTS HIM UP FOR A CHOKESLAM, BUT HE JUST HOLDS HIM UP THERE CHOKING. NESS IS LOSING HIT POINTS. BIG CHOKE SLAM! BIG EVIL PICKS HIM BACK UP...ANOTHER CHOKE SLAM! HE PICKS HIM UP A THIRD TIME! THE OFFICIAL JUMPS FROM THE IMPACT. HE LAYS ON HIM. IT’S OVER.
WINNER, BIG EVIL

BIG EVIL: NOBODY SPILLS MY FUCKING BEER.

MATHEWS: DO YOU THINK HE WOULD GET DRUNKER AS THE MATCH WENT LONGER AND MAYBE BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE?

Punk: Josh, he’s gone. Stop yelling.

Mathews: But you- Nevermind. Hey- What the-?!

[The lights go out. Hot pink laser lights begin to shoot around the arena. Level Up by Ciara begins to play. Six women in shiny outfits come on stage and begin dancing. Ness walks toward them. He tries to walk between them, but he is pulled in and begins doing the dance routine with them. The lights go out, and they’re all gone.]

Mathews: What the hell was that?

Punk: I think Ness just...levelled up?

Mathews: Well, he might want to level up a few more levels before he tries to fight Big Evil again.

Punk: You can say that again.

Roberts: The follow contest is a Fatal Fourway for the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship!

[Let Me Hear You Scream by Ozzy Osbourne plays, and System makes his way through the crowd high fiving several members of the capacity crowd.]

Mathews: System has evolved into quite the fan favorite in the last few weeks.

Punk: He really has. That might not be enough to win the Sub-Forum title though.

[The crowd boos as Vilify by Device plays, and Franchise makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Franchise is a strategist. That much is for sure.

Punk: He cares about money and winning the championship. That’s all he cares about.

[The crowd pops when Fireworks by Drake plays, but no one comes out. The video stops. It starts over again, but still, there is no one. It stops and plays a third time, but there is no sign of The Dazzler.]

Mathews: Dazz was looking for his wife earlier. I wonder where he is.

Punk: It’s not like him to just not show up for a match.

Mathews: Well, we’re pretty sure he’s still in the building.

[Into the Castle by Wolfmother plays, and The World Traveller WMVP walks through the curtain.]

FFCW Sub-Forum Championship Match
Fatal Fourway
System versus Franchise versus The Dazzler versus WMVP
The referee rings the bell despite there only being three men in the ring. Franchise jumps to the floor not wanting any part of either man. WMVP and System shrug. They lock up, and System applies a headlock. WMVP pushes him off, sending him into the ropes, but the big man comes back with a strong shoulder block. WMVP gets back to his feet quickly, but System applies another headlock. WMVP actually tries to deadlift him, but the monster is too big. System takes him down to the mat. He shifts his weight to apply more pressure, but WMVP wriggles out of it. He wraps his legs around the neck of the big man applying a head scissors. The Australian rolls around and jumps over bridging into a pinning predicament. 1..2...Franchise comes in to break it! Franchise turns to pose to the crowd clearly feeling very proud of himself. System and WMVP are both back to their feet and slowly approach him.

Mathews: Something tells me this isn’t going to work out for them.

Punk: What is your first clue?

Franchise takes a step back and realizes both men are right behind him, but it’s too late. They each grab onto him. They lift him up for a double chokeslam! They go off the opposite ropes and come down with stereo leg drops! System hits him with a gutwrench powerbomb! He goes for the pin! WMVP breaks it. WMVP then pulls Franchise up and hits him with a step up enziguri! He goes for the pin, but System breaks it. WMVP and System are face to face when Franchise hits System with a low blow. WMVP is staring at him in rage when Franchise kicks him in the dick, too! Franchise grabs System and throws him over the top rope to the floor!

Mathews: He’s taking the advantage! No disqualification in a match like this!

Punk: This is about the only way he’s going to win a match like this!

Franchise then takes WMVP down with a Thesz Press and delivers a series of punches to the face. He gets up quickly and delivers a series of punches to the throat. He lifts him onto his shoulders...Samoan Drop! He hooks the leg. 1...2..NO! System breaks the pin! WMVP rolls out of the ring as System and Franchise exchange strikes. Franchise catches him with an eye poke. System holds his face in pain. Franchise applies a front chancery and tries to choke him out. He wraps his legs around him and takes him down to the mat. The official gets into position checking on System, but he doesn’t look like he’s ready to give up. Franchise keeps wrenching back on it...DAZZLER HITS A SHOOTING STAR PRESS ONTO BOTH OF THEM!

Mathews: Dazzler is here!

Punk: I hope he found his wife…

WMVP runs at Dazzler who throws him with an arm drag. Franchise runs at him, and he throws him with an arm drag as well. System runs toward him, and he goes for the arm drag. It’s blocked. He kicks the big man before swinging around and gripping him for a German Suplex. He lifts him up...He throws him! Franchise is trying to capitalize on it by going toward System, but Dazzler catches him with the Dazzling Kick! He hooks the leg on Franchise. 1...2...NO! System and WMVP break the pin!

Mathews: I thought Dazz was going to be the new champion there!

Punk: He almost had him!

WMVP picks Dazz up and hits him with the Shining Wizard! System throws WMVP to the apron, grabs Dazzler and hits him with the Cobra Clutch Slam! He wraps the legs locking in the Systematic Demise! Franchise goes off the ropes and hits him with a baseball slide dropkick to the head! He pulls Dazzler out of the arms of System and lifts him up. Samoan Drop! He goes for the pin. 1...2...NO! System lifts him by the belt. Cobra Clutch Slam! Systematic Demise! The official Dazzler dives over breaking it with a double axe handle. All four men are stirring. System starts to get up. Dazz runs to the ropes and jumps off with the Dazzling Kick, but System ducks it! System catches him! Systematic Demise. Franchise tries to break it, but WMVP locks him in the Viaje Vice! Two submissions simultaneously! The official watches both. DAZZ TAPS! FRANCHISE TAPS!
Winner, by submission, and the NEW FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System!

Mathews: But they both tapped!

Punk: I think Dazz tapped first.

[The official goes over and grabs the championship. System looks at his own reflection before putting it over his shoulder for a second time. WMVP gets up and looks furious. System offers a hand to him. WMVP looks around at the crowd and looks at System. They shake hands, and System raises his hand!]

Part Two of Three

[The Dazzler walks down the hall holding his neck in agitation. Bambi, T-Money and The Kid walk down the hall. Dazz grabs a chair.]

Bambi: You tapped out. You tapped out!

Dazzler: I’m going to ask you again. Where is my wife?

Kid: That’s a good question. Our match is about to start!

Dazzler: When we got here, they told us she was needed in your locker room.

T-Money: Our locker room? We ain’t got a locker room.

Kid: We changed in the same locker room as everybody else, and your wife was not in there.

Dazzler: Just tell me where she is assholes.

[Dazzler swings the chair at Kid, but T-Money kicks the chair into his face. They take the chair away from him and put his arm in it. They jump on the chair, and it sounds like Dazzler’s arm snapped. AM and security come running over.]

AM: Get your asses to the locker room or you’re out of the main event.

[T-Money, Dazzler, and Bambi shrug as they walk back to the locker room.]

AM: Dazz, we need to get you to the hospital. Your arm is broken. I’ll go with you.

[Dazzler starts to protest as the cameras cut back to ringside.]

Mathews: Dazzler may have a broken arm.

Punk: And he still hasn’t found his wife.

Roberts: The following contest is a grudge match!

[The crowd boos as Immigrant Song plays. KJ walks on stage and looks at the crowd with disgust. He makes his way down to the ring with a look of annoyance on his face. He enters the ring and waits for his opponent.]

Mathews: KJ is a man who wants to see all of us out of this job. He wants to see no more FFCW.

Punk: I feel like KJ idolizes the era of FFCW when he was in charge. He hates the idea that someone else is keeping it alive, so he wants to take it away.

Mathews: Why couldn’t he just walk away? Instead he’s attacking people and trying to hurt people. It’s sick.

Punk: It is, but I feel like that’s the type of person he’s always been.

[The lights go out. Started from the Bottom plays. A single spotlight goes down on the stage where Shinobi Musashi walks out. He begins to shadow box on the stage before ditching the boxing robe and heading down to the ring.]

Mathews: Shinobi Musashi, in my opinion, is one of the best guys to never hold the FFCW World Championship.

Punk: He’s also a guy with one of the shortest tenures on the roster. But at the same time, I agree.

Matthews: He’s been so dominant and impressive in the time he’s been here.

Punk: A win over KJ would put him in the World title picture for sure, but it’s also about so much more than that.

Grudge Match
KJ versus Shinobi Musashi
The bell rings and Shinobi gets into a boxing stance. KJ goes into a similar stance. However KJ just slaps Shinobi in the face. The crowd oohs. They begin to shove each other. They break into what essentially looks like a hockey fight! They each have a hold of the back of the other man’s head, and they’re just punching each other. The official tries to get in the middle of it. He pushes them apart. Both men look aggravated. They back into their corners before they come in and lock into a tight collar and elbow tie up. Both men push as hard as they can. Shinobi throws him with an arm drag! He gets right back up, but Shin throws him with another arm drag! KJ goes at him again, and Shin throws him with an arm drag a third time! The veteran rolls to the floor to buy some time, but Musashi doesn’t give it to him as he goes off the ropes and dives to the floor! KJ crashes into the guardrail with Shin on top of him. Shin begins to deliver a series of chops on the floor. KJ tries to run away, but he’s following him and continuing to chop him! He is painting KJ’s chest red with chops!

Mathews: Look at his chest! He’s gonna bust him open!

Punk: Not to mention that when your chest is sore, it’s so hard to catch your breath.

Mathews: And if you can’t breath, you can’t fight.

Punk: And Shinobi knows he’ll have to take KJ’s breath away if he wants to put him away.

Shinobi pushes KJ into the ring post. He wrenches back to go for the KO Kick, but KJ moves out of the way causing him to kick the post! Shin screams out in pain holding his shin. KJ hurries to roll into the ring catching his breath. The official goes to the floor to check on Shin’s ankle. He assures him he’s good enough to keep going, and he rolls back into the ring and begins the count out. KJ looks like he’s going to go drag him back in, but he decides against it. Shin is limping a bit from kicking the ring post head on. He rolls into the ring as the official gets to 7. KJ comes running over and puts the boots to Shin. He grabs onto the top rope and stomps on the injured ankle. The official prompts him to get off the rope. He finally backs off. He then puts Shinobi’s foot on the bottom rope before propelling himself up and dropping all of his weight on the injured leg. He does this a few more times before he jumps out of the ring, grabs Musashi’s ankle and slams it into the ring post before laughing like a jackass.

Punk: This is the methodical dismemberment of Shinobi we were promised.

Mathews: How long can Shinobi withstand this punishment to his ankle?

Punk: I don’t think this kind of thing is about winning for KJ. It’s about hurting Shinobi Musashi.

Mathews: He wants to run him out of the company.

The official starts counting KJ out as he’s jaw jacking with the crowd. He rolls back in and starts delivering punches to the head of Shinobi. The ref calls for a break, and he does, but then he kicks Shin right in the forehead. He then goes back to the ankle and drives it right into the mat. He grabs Shinobi’s ankle and applies an ankle lock! Musashi is crying out in pain. The official asks him if he wants to give up, and he insists he doesn’t. He screams out again. He then forward rolls causing KJ to flip forward! They both get up. KJ runs into a clothesline from Shinobi! He gets back up, and Shinobi takes him right back down. He pauses to hold his ankle, and KJ hits him with a chop block! He grabs the ankle and applies a half crab! Musashi is clearly in pain. He reaches desperately for the ropes.

Mathews: He’s torturing him! This is inhumane!

Punk: Why won’t he just quit?! Why won’t he live to fight another day?!

Mathews: He wants to defend the honor of FFCW! He doesn’t want to give up.

Punk: But he should!

Shinobi gets to the ropes! KJ holds onto it until the official gets to four. He finally breaks, and Shinobi holds his ankle in pain. KJ parades around the ring, very proud of himself. Shin starts to pull himself up, and KJ mockingly does a boxing stance. He throws sloppy jabs at Musashi clearly mocking him. He then grabs him in a front chancery move, BRAINBUSTER! KJ hooks the leg. 1...2...NO! KJ looks upset, but he pulls Shinobi up by his hair. He throws him into the corner hard. He lifts him onto the top turnbuckle. He tries to get Shinobi up for a Superplex, but Musashi slides out. He moves toward the middle of the ring. When Musashi turns around, KJ comes off the top with a codebreaker! KJ grabs his legs and jumps over with the bridging pin. The official goes over. 1...2..NO! Musashi kicks out again! KJ gets up and is furious. Shinobi starts to shake. He’s clearly feeling the roar of the crowd deep within him.

Mathews: I think he’s still in this.

Mathews: He’s not giving up, Josh!

Shinobi throws a left jab. A right hook. A left jab. A right underhook. He bends down which is usually the signal for the KO Kick, but his ankle gives out. He goes down holding it in pain. KJ goes over to take advantage. Shin was playing possum! Inside cradle! 1...2...NO! KJ kicks out, and he’s furious! They both get back to their feet quickly. Discus punch from Musashi! Shin falls on top of KJ. 1...2...NO! Both men are slow to get up to their feet. They get to their feet and start to circle each other. KJ hits Shinobi with a BRUTAL chop across the chest. Shinobi hits KJ with a brutal chop of his own, and KJ’s chest is now bleeding! KJ holds his chest in pain. CANADIAN DESTROYER FROM MUSASHI! He hooks the leg. 1...2...KJ GETS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE! Shinobi questions the official as to why it was two. KJ grabs his ankle and applies an ankle lock! Shinobi manages to roll out of it. He stumbles a bit before going for a handspring elbow! KJ catches him. German Suplex! Shinobi lands on his feet! He lets out a scream! KJ looks stunned then pissed. He sends Nobi into the ropes. Idol Consequences! He’s got the Boston Crab portion locked in. The official is right there asking Shinobi if he wants to give up. He screams no! KJ lets go of the good leg to wrench double on the bad leg, but the break of the grip allows Shin to kick KJ in the face with the good leg! The grip fully breaks. Shinobi pulls himself to the apron. He springboards up to the top rope with his good leg. He shifts and hits KJ with a moonsault! He hooks the leg. 1...2..NO! KJ kicks out! They both get up again. KJ sends him off the ropes. He goes for Idol Consequences again, but Shinobi jumps over! SUNSET FLIP! 1...2...3!!!!!!
Winner, by pinfall, Shinobi Musashi!

Mathews: He stole it! What a finish! What an ending!

Punk: I did not see that coming!

[The lights go out! When they come back on, HOLZHAMMER IS IN THE RING!]

Mathews: What the hell is he doing here?!

Punk: I don’t know, but I know whenever he shows up, it’s never good.

[Holzhammer grabs Shinobi and hits him with a brutal headbutt right to the neck! KJ rolls to the floor and grabs a steel chair. He gets in the ring.]

Mathews: Is KJ going to try and take Holzhammer out, too?

Punk: He said he wanted to destroy this company.

[KJ lifts the chair up, but then he opens it and sits down. Holzhammer picks Musashi up by the hair before headbutting him in the neck again. He motions for KJ to get up and puts Shinobi’s head on the seat of the chair. He goes off the ropes and drops a leg on the back of Musashi’s head resting on the chair! KJ offers his hand to Holzhammer, and HE ACCEPTS IT!]

Punk: Fuck.

Mathews: This could be the handshake that changes FFCW forever…

Punk: Fuck.

[The lights go out. When they come back on, they are gone. EMTs rush down to the ring to check on Shinobi.]

Mathews: Let’s send it to the back.

[The cameras cut to the back where Cathy Kelley is standing by with jTj and PI are standing with her.]

Kelley: Gentlemen, in just a few minutes, you head down to the ring for the main event. What are your thoughts going into this match?

jTj: Cathy, do you notice how I’m holding this FFCW World Championship in my hand? It’s not on my shoulder or around my waist. As far as I’m concerned, I’m not really the FFCW World Champion yet. I won’t really be the FFCW World Champion until I beat this man standing next to me. Tonight is about proving we’re the best. Tonight is about proving we’re the only ones who deserve to fight for this title.

Some people say it’s strange that I’m here with PI. Some people thought it would’ve made more sense to have a handicap match. Some people thought it would’ve made more sense to have a triple threat. But here’s what those people don’t understand. This is my best friend. I have always had his back. I have always been there for him. I would do anything for this man.

As for T-Money and The Kid? They’re bonded by greed. They’re both capable guys in their own right, but they don’t have the alliance we do. They don’t have the brotherhood we do. They’re not the Power Duo! We’re brothers. We’re closer than blood. This man has gone to war with me, and tonight, I’ll do the same for him. Kid, T, tonight, you’re going to find out why they call me The John Wayne of FFCW, and that’s a shoot. Tell ‘em, PI!

PI: I think we need to let our actions do the talking.

[He walks away, and jTj and Cathy both look a bit confused. The camera cuts back to ringside where Justin Roberts is standing.]

Roberts: It is now time for your MAIN EVENT! If T-Money and The Kid win, they get a triple threat match for the FFCW World Championship! If jTj and PI win, they will face off in a singles match for the FFCW World Championship!

[Nelly’s Must Be The Money plays, and little fake dollar bills with T-Money’s face begin to fall down from the rafters. Bambi comes on stage and begins to do a dance that would solicit a lot of singles at your favorite gentlemen’s establishment before T-Money makes his way through the curtain. He takes her arm as What Up, Gangsta? by 50 Cent starts to play. The Kid joins T-Money and Bambi on the stage. The three of them make their way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Where is Cassandra?

Punk: We know they were having a hard time finding her earlier. Dazzler was looking for her.

Mathews: In fact, they had said they hadn’t seen her. I wonder how it will factor into their match tonight.

Punk: They have to be focused on The Power Duo. They cannot let something like this distract them.

[The lights go out. Sink to the Beat by Cursive plays. The lights come back on and PI is standing on the stage. God’s Gonna Cut You Down plays, and the roof comes off the place. The John Wayne of FFCW, jTj makes his way onto the stage.]

Mathews: One of the most impactful duos in the history of this promotion. Two of the original greats.

Punk: You know I don’t know a ton of history about this promotion pre-FF NXT, but these guys have always been stars since I laid eyes on them.

Mathews: I believe they’ve faced off before. I believe they’ve done battle, but it’s definitely been over ten years since they’ve had a singles match. They have so much more knowledge and experience than they did the last time they would’ve faced.

Punk: I would love to see these two in the main event of a pay per view.

Main Event
*If T-Money and The Kid win, they get a Triple Threat for the FFCW World Championship.*
*If jTj and PI win, they face off for the FFCW World Championship*
The Kid and T-Money [w/Bambi] versus PI and FFCW World Champion, jTj
Both teams continue facing off from the in-ring introduction as the official tries to get one in and one out. T-Money and jTj start the match. They get right in each other’s faces, and you can feel the intensity. T-Money goes off the ropes and hits jTj with a shoulder block, but he doesn’t budge. jTj picks him up over his head in a gorilla press! He motions like he’s going to throw him onto the floor into Bambi, but instead he throws him into the mat! T gets right back up, but jTj takes him down with a clothesline. T gets back up, somersaults under the clothesline and blind tags Kid. He jumps to the floor and goes around to the side of the ring before pulling himself onto the apron. He tells the official to back jTj up before he gets into the ring. He complies, and The Kid turns his back to jTj facing the crowd to taunt. When he turns around, jTj levels him with a forearm! He picks him up and delivers a scoop slam! Kid bounces back up and jTj hits him with another one! He bounces back up, and jTj hits him with a third one!

Mathew: Look at the power of jTj! Look at the dominance! Look at the power!

Punk: And he’s doing all of this for PI! He’s beating them up for PI! His best friend!

jTj asks the crowd if they want PI, and they do. He tags him in. PI jumps onto the top rope and hits Kid with a frogsplash! He hooks the leg! Kid kicks out, so PI indicates he’s going high risk again. He climbs up the top rope and looks down on Kid, but KID GETS HIS KNEES UP! PI holds his ribs in pain, and Kid gets up throwing him right into the corner shoulder first into the ring post. Kid pretends his knee is hurt and asks the official to come check on him while T-Money chokes PI on the middle rope. jTj is yelling for the referee to pay attention. Eventually, he loses his cool and enters the ring. The official pushes him back to his corner while Kid runs in with a knee strike to the ribs. They are now double teaming the masked man. The official smartens up to what is going on and comes over hollering. Kid takes T back in. The big man lifts PI up and drops him with a scoop slam. He picks him up and drops him with another scoop slam. He looks at the crowd and asks if they want one more, but they boo. He picks PI up by the mask and does it anyway.

Mathews: This is exactly what we expected from T-Money and The Kid.

Punk: Exactly! These two guys will do whatever it takes to win, but they are fighting for a shot at the richest prize in FFCW!

T-Money sticks his fingers in the eye holes of the mask and tries to drag PI into his corner. He tags in The Kid. He jumps over the top rope to enter the ring and runs the ropes bragging about how good his knees feel. He then does a double knee drop on PI. He goes for a pin, but the masked maniac kicks out before he even counts one. Kid then applies a chinlock. He occasionally repositions his arm to choke PI, but the official doesn’t catch it. He looks at the camera and says “I would’ve done this to Cassandra if she was into this sorta thing, but I dunno where she is.” jTj gets the people to start clapping for PI! They desperately want the masked maniac to get back to his feet! He feels the power from the crowd! He’s up. He throws stiff elbows into the midsection of The Kid. He snapmares him over his shoulder. He runs into the opposite corner and hits T-Money with a hip attack knocking him off the apron. Kid comes running at him...He throws him over the top rope! He springboards to the top. Corkscrew Senton onto all of them!

Mathews: PI has no avail for his body! This guy will go to any length to win!

Punk: He’s crazy! Crazy people do moves like that!

T-Money and The Kid are stirring as PI gets back to his feet. Bambi comes over and yells at him for the ridiculous stunt. jTj yells at the official to watch her. She backs away as T-Money and The Kid jump PI. The official is telling them to get back in the ring when they lift PI up and throws him through the announce table! jTj comes down and runs around the ring, but they quickly slide in. jTj checks on PI while the official starts counting him out. Jeff is asking him if he still wants to do this thing when he pushes past and slides back into the ring. Kid tags T-Money who drops an elbow on him as he’s sliding in. The larger man keeps his weight on the smallest man in the match. He drives elbows into the shoulder area. He stands up over PI and drops all of his weight on the small of his back causing PI to let out a cry of pain. T then applies a Camel Clutch! He’s wrenching on the back of the maniac. Kid yells “Tap bitch!” from the apron. He’s nowhere near the ropes. jTj yells encouragement. The official asks him if he wants to give up, but he assures him he doesn’t. Money is yelling for him to quit.

Punk: PI is a lot of things, but a quitter isn’t one of them!

Mathews: How’s he going to get out of this!

jTj finally jumps in the ring and kicks T-Money’s hand off. T jumps up to fight Jeff, but the official is pushing him back. Kid grabs PI’s leg to stop him from getting to his corner, but PI hits him with an enziguri! PI baseball slides between T’s legs to make the tag to jTj! The crowd blows up! He hits T-Money with a huge clothesline! Kid runs into a gigantic hip toss! He takes T-Money down with a Saito Suplex! He lifts Kid over his head in a Gorilla Press. He pumps him up and down a few times before throwing him down. T tries to catch him with a spear, but jTj catches him and drops him with a DDT. Kid comes back toward jTj. He lifts him up. He holds him in the air! PATRIOTPLEX! jTj goes for the pin, but the official reminds Jeff that Kid is not legal. He throws him to the floor. T-Money comes at Jeff, but he gets kicked in the midsection. He lifts the big man up. He holds him up. PATRIOTPLEX!

STATIC

[jTj turns his head to the screen where Cassandra is screaming. She is handcuffed to a barbed wire fence by a dumpster behind the building.][/i]

Mathews: That’s Dazzler’s wife…

Punk: What’s she doing out there?

“You didn’t think I was going to let you all have fun without me, did you?”

[IT’S CK]

jTj tags PI into the match as he jumps out of the ring and runs up the ramp.

Mathews: jTj just abandoned this match.

The referee is still watching the screen as the mobile camera operator follows jTj. PI looks up the ramp! Kid hits him from behind with a double axe handle! T pulls PI’s arm between his leg. NO KIDDING! T takes him MONEYMAKER! Money makes the pin.
Winners, T-Money and The Kid

Punk: This match is over! Can we switch cameras?!

Mathews: I’m told they think CK is out by the production truck. Apparently he texted or emailed that video to someone in the production truck and demanded it be played immediately. Not sure about the details. Our director went out to look into it. AM is at the hospital with The Dazzler.

Punk: I’m going out there.

Mathews: Whoever is in the truck, can we please cut to the mobile cam? Punk is heading out there. Folks, we haven’t seen CK in a long time, and personally, I thought that was a good thing. CK is a first rate psychopath.

[The camera finally goes outside. CK and jTj are fighting by a car. Suddenly, he kicks him and tries to throw Jeff in the car. HE SLAMS THE CAR DOOR ON JTJ’S HEAD!!! Punk comes running out along with some security. CK jumps in the car and speeds away.]

Punk: Cassandra! Cassandra! Are you ok?

Cassandra: He didn’t hurt me, but I’m not ok...Please help me.

Punk: I’m right here. Hey! Don’t touch Jeff’s neck! Be careful with his neck damn it!

🤯 will NOT forgive @jtj for abandoning him in his time of need and costing him a world title shot. Mark my words, marks.

FFCW Quake
“The End” Episode 5
FFCW Arena
Chicago, Illinois

[The opening video package features a red, white, and blue color scheme. It shows such talent as jTj, PI, KJ, WP, PB, and more. The camera ends by focusing on General Manager, AM.The show opens with AM already standing in the ring.]

AM: Josh, Punk, I want to open the show tonight. A lot happened after I left Saturday night. I’m going to address as much of what happened Saturday night as I can. As you probably already know, I went to the hospital with The Dazzler after he was attacked. The injury wasn’t nearly as severe as we were worried it was. He’s going to take two weeks off to heal his arm and spend time with his wife who was clearly traumatized by CK.

Now, speaking of CK, he ruined the main event Saturday night. I’ll get back to that in a minute, but he also kidnapped Cassandra and held her hostage for hours. He also manipulated Kid and T-Money into setting the whole thing up, and they clearly didn’t know who they were dealing with. He confessed to the whole thing because he’s a goddamn psychopath, and he was in custody, but bail has been posted. The wrestling promoter in me looks at the marquee of CK versus The Dazzler, and I see the dollar signs. But then I put myself in Dazz’s shoes, and I think what could I gain from a professional wrestling match? How could I get my revenge within the confines of a pro wrestling match? And the answer is, I couldn’t. I imagine The Dazzler would like to murder CK, and I don’t blame him. So, CK is not under contract. CK is not getting a contract. Dazzler, if you put your hands on CK, you will not be under contract any longer either. Please be smart.

Next, I want to talk about what happened in the main event. I didn’t like the way that went down. I didn’t like it one bit. jTj walked out on the match, and he got his head slammed in a car door. jTj is not cleared to compete. I am stripping jTj of the FFCW World Championship.

[Crowd boos.]

AM: This is not a decision I feel good about. However, there will be a match for the vacant title tonight. Because I’m quite frankly pissed at Jeff for walking out on PI and leaving him hanging, I’ve put three names in a bag. The Kid, T-Money, and PI. I’m going to draw two of those names out, and those two will face off tonight for the FFCW World Championship. The winner will face the third name at our next FITE TV event which will be called Chiaroscuro. Now, let’s find out who’s going to be in our main event tonight. First name is...PI. Now, let’s see who he’ll be facing. Tonight’s main event for the vacant FFCW World Championship will be PI versus The Kid! That means T-Money has cemented himself a spot in the title match at Chiaroscuro.

Now, I have one more thing I want to address from what happened on Saturday. KJ made a friend. Isn’t that nice? Two of the most unlikeable people in the history of this company are buddies now. Holzhammer, I sat under your learning tree when I was young, vulnerable, and naive. I used to idolize you. Subconsciously, part of me still probably does. You and KJ are boys. You want to try and sabotage the thing I brought back? You want to take down the thing I control? I’ll give you the chance. I will give you the chance because I believe in this. I believe in what we’re doing here. I want to give this company the final chapter it deserves. I would love for you to be a part of that. All you have to do is sign a contract.

[Carmina Burana plays. Holzhammer walks down to the ring. AM reaches into his pocket and pulls out a folded up paper and a pen. He offers it to Holzhammer who takes it from him. Holzhammer sets them down on the mat, and AM looks confused. Holzhammer grabs AM’s face...HEADBUTT! The General Manager goes down! Holzhammer takes the contract and rips it up over AM’s motionless body.]

Mathews: Well, it doesn’t look like Holzhammer will be signing with FFCW.

Punk: So guests of the company just get to throw headbutts? What the fuck was that?

Mathews: I don’t know, Punk. It seems AM’s naivety got the better of him.

Punk: Still, a lot to unpack there.

Mathews: Absolutely, The Dazzler, Shinobi Musashi, and FFCW World Champion jTj all on the injured list after last night.

Punk: Soon to be former FFCW World Champion.

Mathews: That’s right. An FFCW World Championship match later tonight between The Kid and PI for the vacant championship.

Punk: PI got kinda lucky there. He wasn’t even supposed to be in the chase anymore.

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction when Play That Funky Music plays, and Greg comes down to the ring.]

Mathews: We’ve got a rematch from Show Your Allegiance here, Punk.

Punk: Riveting.

Mathews: Baker beat Greg pretty handedly Saturday night. I’m curious to see if tonight is any different.

Punk: Are you really?

Mathews: No.

[The crowd is confused when You Start A Fire in Me plays, and Baker comes through the curtain.]

SPOILER: Click to show

Roberts: From In Your House, The Savior of the New Generation, BAKER!

Punk: Do you feel his desire, Josh?

Mathews: I desire to listen to some Green Day.

Punk: Maybe next week he’ll come out to Tell Me A Lie.

Mathews: I’d actually like that. Don’t get my hopes up.

Singles Match
Greg versus Baker
The referee calls for the bell. Baker tells Greg to put him in a sleeper. Greg is confused and lays down and pretends to take a nap, but he keeps laughing the whole timer. Baker pulls him up by his hair. He turns his back to Greg and yells at him to put him in a sleeper. Greg starts trying to put him in a sleeper before tapping him on the shoulder and telling him he never learned a sleeper. Baker sucker punches Greg, does a double leg takedown, applies the sharpshooter, and Greg taps out.
Winner, by submission, Baker

Punk: Why do we let Greg wrestle?

Mathews: We?! I don’t make the matches!

Punk: I know, but that was terrible.

Mathews: Baker continues his undefeated streak in FFCW.

Punk: Do we really have another match coming up?

Mathews: Yeah. Five matches tonight.

Punk: That’s too many.

Mathews: Most of them are going to be short.

Roberts: Already in the ring, GCB! If GCB wins this match by pinfall, he will get a contract to challenge for the FFCW World Championship at any time he chooses!

Punk: Whoa! Jobber entrance for GCB!

Mathews: Hey, we’re supposed to put over Pin It to Win It!

Punk: How’s that work again?

Mathews: If GCB or Mal win a match by pinfall, they get a contract for a future FFCW World Championship Match at a time of their choosing.

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Level Up by Ciara plays. The group of women are dancing on stage with Ness walking through pink smoke in the middle.]

Mathews: Let’s see how Ness has levelled up.

Punk: I challenge anyone who is complaining about this theme song change to actually pay attention to the lyrics. It fits his character perfectly.

Mathews: And it’s so catchy!

Punk: It’s no Tell Me A Lie, but it’s good.

Singles Match
GCB [Pin It to Win It] versus Ness
GCB comes right at him going for a clothesline, but Ness ducks it. They change positions. GCB runs at him again, but he gets leapfrogged. Ness is spamming punches. GCB finally blocks one. He wraps his arms around Ness thinking belly to belly, but Ness blocks it. Spinning Backfist from The Gamer! He goozles him! Chokeslam! He picks him back up! Another one! He picks him back up! ANOTHER ONE! It’s Chokeslam Spam! He hooks the leg!
Winner, by pinfall, Ness

Mathews: What a victory for Ness!

Punk: Does he get the contract thingy now?

Mathews: No. It’s only Mal and GCB for right now.

Earlier Today

[WMVP is doing calisthenics when System walks in with the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship on his shoulder.]

System: I watched the match back.

WMVP: So did I. Many times.

System: Listen, you fought like hell in that match. Franchise tapped out right after Dazz did.

WMVP: At the same time…

System: Hey. I’m not the referee. I don’t make those kinds of decisions.

WMVP: So you came to gloat?

System: Dude! No. I came to say I talked to AM. I said the only person I’m defending this championship against is you.

WMVP: Name the time and place.

System: Chiaroscuro. AM already put the match in place.

WMVP: I’ll see you then. Keep it warm for me.

Mathews: Wow! Huge match signed for Chiaroscuro!

Punk: One on one. No excuses this time.

Roberts: Already in the ring, from right here in Chicago, Illinois, Mal! If Mal wins this match by pinfall, he will get a contract to challenge for the FFCW World Championship at any time he chooses!

[The crowd boos when Vilify by Device plays. Franchise walks down the ramp with disdain in his eyes.]

Mathews: Here’s a guy who was not too happy about tapping out at Show Your Allegiance.

Punk: He thinks he should be FFCW Sub-Forum Champion.

Singles Match
Mal [Pin It to Win It] versus Franchise
They circle around each other slowly to start the match. They lock up. Mal throws Franchise with an arm drag. He follows up quickly with a dropkick. Franchise starts to look frustrated. Mal goes for a sling blade, but Franchise catches him with a German suplex. He goes for the pin, but Mal kicks out. He throws several punches before throwing Mal into the ropes. Samoan Drop! Mal rolls to the floor! Franchise is very upset. He tells the official to count Mal out. The referee is counting when hands come out from underneath the ring and hold Mal out!
Winner, by count out, Franchise!

Mathews: Who’s hands were those?

Punk: I don’t know!

[WMS rolls out from underneath the ring. He takes the microphone from Justin.]

WMS: Congrats on the win, Franny.

[He slides into the ring.]

WMS: I got a proposition for ya. You and me? Back together. I’ve never held the tag team titles. You have. Maybe you can take me to the promised land?

[He offers his hand to Franchise...who accepts it.]

Punk: AWW! No! Not these two together again.

Mathews: All right. Well, I’ve been told we’re going to send it to some words recorded earlier today.

Earlier Today

[JJ walks in and sits down.]

JJ: When I agreed to take the booking this past Saturday night, it was supposed to be a one time thing. Pop the first pay per view, get to wrestle in front of a new audience, and go home. But then, something happened. It felt so good to be back in front of that crowd. It felt so good to be back in that ring. I’m not that old. This dog might have a few tricks left in it. What I’m saying is, if it’s ok with you, I’d like to come back for one more run. What I’m REALLY saying is, I’d like to compete for the FFCW World Championship again. It doesn’t have to be next week. It doesn’t have to be at Chiaroscuro. I just want one more run.

[‘Sharp Dressed Man’ plays as we cut back to ringside.]

Mathews: Well, we already know that T-Money has the title shot at Chiaroscuro, but I’d love to see JJ get a shot after that.

Punk: I agree.

[The crowd boos as Man Who Sold the World plays. Radikal and Raven Star make their way through the crowd. A production assistant walks down to the ring with the FFCW World Tag Team Championships.]

Punk: Whoops. Looks like they forgot their championships.

Mathews: I’ve been told they feel the belts are too gaudy and mainstream, and they won’t be seen with them. They’ve got patches on their flannels that say ‘FFCW World Tag Team Champion’.

Punk: Well fuck’em them. We’re the tag team champions? Put on a belt, Josh.

Mathews: All right. Wait. I want that one. Trade me.

Punk: Aren’t they the same? Wait. They’re not. Yeah, ok, I’ll trade you.

[The crowd pops when Thunderstruck plays. Heavy Mike and Zap come down the ramp to a huge ovation from the crowd. They high five several members of the crowd before coming over to the announce table. They look at Josh and Punk with the titles on their shoulders.]

Mathews: We’re just keeping them warm.

Punk: Put em back Josh.

Mathews: But I like this one!

Punk: It’s not worth it.

Mathews: Ok. You know, this was supposed to be a title match, but Radikal and Raven Star refused to defend on Quake.

Non-Title Match
FFCW World Tag Team Champions, The Men Who Sold the World [Radikal and Raven Star] versus The Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap]
The match starts with Mike getting an ‘AEC’ chant started from the crowd. Raven Star covers his ears and says he won’t start until it stops. The big man doesn’t care, and the bell rings. Mike is dominating Star, and the crowd loves it. He fights him into the corner where he tags in Zap who does some amazing fast paced flippy stuff on Raven Star. He signals he’s going to the Flash Splash, but Radikal pushes him off the top to the floor. Zap gets back in at the last second, but the champions are in control now. They work Zap over pretty badly. Mike is getting upset as they take shortcuts. Radikal is taunting Mike. He pulls out his vape pen and takes a big hit before blowing the smoke in Mike’s face! The big man jumps in the ring and rips the vape pen out of Radikals hand! He starts to break it in half, but THE VAPE PEN EXPLODES! The official calls for the bell
Winners by DQ, The Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap]

Mathews: We need to get some help down here, fast.

Punk: How many times have I said it? How many times have I said they shouldn’t be allowed to have those fucking vape pens when they wrestle!?

Mathews: Trainers in the ring. This is bad. This is really bad.

Punk: Mike is holding his face. I think it burned his face.

Mathews: What?! WHAT?! Stop yelling! Sorry, someone is yelling at me on the headset. Ok! Ok! We’re going to the video!

[Dead and Bloated by Stone Temple Pilots plays, and CK is on the screen.]

CK: How’s the neck, Jeffy? How’s the wife, Dazz? I’m doing great. I heard my old buddy AM is in charge now. Sounds like he’s doing great. See, I always have a plan, and I get what I want. I want a match. I want a fight. I want a contract. The problem is, you don’t want to give me a contract. Why is that? Do you not like money? I’ve always made a lot of money for this company because I draw eyes to it that it wouldn’t normally attract. The psychologist who wants to study me. The person who wants to see how I tick. All of the moms’ groups who want to go on the internet and start a petition to get this program cancelled. They watch me. Now, if they tune in and see good old fashioned wholesome Saturday morning wrestling, they don’t have anything to complain about, do they? There once was a guy who said controversy creates cash. He was a fucking asshole. But he was right.

And me? I love wrestling. Where else do I get to harm and torture people within the letter of the law? Where else can I do all of the things I love to do and not get locked up for it? Nowhere. I love sadistic nature. I love the violence. It brings out a side of me that nothing else does without risking twenty five to life. I cannot think of a single way, or I’d probably do that instead.

I know what the real problem is, Alyon. If that is your real name. The problem is no one on that roster wants to face me. No one on that roster wants to fight me. Let me rephrase that. No one on your ACTIVE roster wants to fight me. Dazzler does, but he’s got a boo boo. Jeffy does, but I don’t think his neck is working too good right now. So, we both have a problem. You don’t have anyone to fight me, and I’m not going to leave you alone until you find someone who will. I know the director and the guys in the truck are big fans of mine, so I am not worried that this video will find you. You, on the other hand, better be worried about what’s going to happen to you if you don’t find me an opponent.

Mathews: Well, that’s not good.

Punk: That guy is a menace to society, and if AM doesn’t find someone to fight him...Maybe I’ll have to.

Roberts: The following contest is your main event, and it is for the FFCW World Championship!

[The crowd boos as What Up, Gangsta? plays, and The Kid makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: He went from being in a Triple Threat with jTj and T-Money at Chiaroscuro to facing PI one on one tonight.

Punk: Can you imagine a world where this prick is the champion?

Mathews: Do I have to?

Punk: Hopefully not.

[The lights go out. Sink to the Beat by Cursive begins to play. PI walks down to the ring.]

Punk: You know, if jTj cannot be our champion, I’m totally ok with PI being the champion.

Mathews: Yeah same. I think he would be a great champion.

[Suddenly, God’s Gonna Cut You Down plays, and jTj walks through the curtain with the FFCW World Championship flung over his shoulder. He’s wearing a cut off t-shirt, black jeans, and cowboy boots. His neck is covered in KT tape.]

Mathews: I didn’t even know he was here!

Punk: How great would it be for him to put the championship around PI’s waist tonight?

[jTj asks Justin for a microphone.]

jTj: Now at the beginning of this program, AM told a damn lie. He said I wasn’t medically cleared. Now that just isn’t true. I was taken to a medical facility Saturday night, and I got up, got an Uber back to the arena, and drove my truck home as is my constitutional right. Nobody can force me to see a doctor. God Bless America. SO, as far as I’m concerned, AM cannot strip me of this FFCW World Championship. He didn’t send me any paperwork that I was stripped. So, Kid, you want a title shot? Fine. PI, I’m not letting you fight my battles for me this time. Kid, you want a title match, you fight me.

Mathews: What?!

Punk: His neck is covered in that kinetic tape! He’s a walking bullseye.

[PI throws up his hands. Kid shrugs. The official raises up the championship. PI walks up the ramp.]

FFCW World Championship Match
The Kid versus jTj ©
Kid runs into the corner as soon as the bell rings. He hits Jeff right in the neck with a forearm. jTj lets out a primal cry of pain. Kid grabs him...Piledriver. He jumps back up to see what jTj does. He rolls over onto all fours then clutches his neck...CURB STOMP! Kid hits his finish the No Kidding and goes for the pin. JTJ KICKS OUT! Piledriver! A THIRD PILEDRIVER! He pins him.
Winner, and NEW FFCW World Champion, The Kid

Mathews: Justin announced that with no emotion in his voice.

Punk: What the fuck was the ref thinking?! GET SOME GODDAMN MEDICS OUT HERE! WHAT THE FUCK?!

Mathews: We need help guys...We’ll see you next week..

FFCW Quake
“The End” Episode 6
FFCW Arena
Chicago, Illinois

[The opening video package features a red, white, and blue color scheme. It shows such talent as jTj, PI, KJ, WP, PB, and more. The camera ends by focusing on General Manager, AM.The show opens with a red carpet in the ring, bottles of champagne on ice, and gold balloons in the ring.]

Punk: Are we really starting the show like this?

Mathews: I’m told AM got a letter from Kid’s team of attorneys Monday morning threatening what would happen if they tried to reverse this. They also demanded a victory celebration.

[A light show begins. Bambi dances on stage. T-Money comes down to the ring along with a bunch of white people wearing FUBU and women in bikinis. What Up, Gangsta? by 50 Cent plays, and everyone in and surrounding the ring begins to clap and sing along. Six muscular men who totally aren’t local independent workers walk on stage wearing bulletproof vests. The Kid rides a big wheel tricycle onto the stage. His ‘security team’ stands on each side of him.]

Punk: How much of the budget did we blow on this?

Mathews: I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure the guy in the giant Bears jersey and the white Crocs did an Impact Twitch show a few weeks ago.

Punk: I thought I recognized him. How much are we paying these people?

Mathews: I don’t know, but I would’ve put on silly clothes for an extra ten spot.

[The ‘security team’ lifts the tricycle so he can step onto the ring apron. Everyone congratulates Kid as they exit the ring to surround it except for T-Money and Bambi.]

The Kid: Bruno Sammartino. Bob Backlund. Hulk Hogan. Diesel. John Cena. You know what they all have in common? None of them could shine my LeBrons. None of them could TOUCH The K-I-D! One week ago, y’all experienced as my man Tony Schiavonne would say, ‘The Greatest Night in the History of Our Great Sport’. The Kid became The Man. It was a bigger night than the 86 Bears. Bigger than any of Michael Jordan’s NBA Finals. And bigger than the Cubs winning the World Series! And in a few weeks, The Man will get to defend his FFCW World Championship against his best friend. I’ll get to go one on one with my big homie. T-Money! That will truly be the greatest main event in the history of FFCW!

Bambi: That will be a wonderful night, but right now, we’re going to have all of The Kid’s honeys share their favorite memories with you.

[One of the girls starts to get up on the apron when Greatest Show plays. General Manager AM walks on stage.]

AM: Man, Kid, that was moving. It really was. Are your lawyers down there? I don’t see anyone who looks like a lawyer, but if they’re representing you, who knows how they dress? Now, you mentioned facing T-Money at Chiaroscuro. You also mention Hulk Hogan and Diesel. Now, in January of 1999, those two went head to head in a match known as The Finger Poke of Doom. I can’t have that happen in one of my World Championship Matches.

Kid: You better not be taking away his championship match!

AM: I’m not. I’m not. But I was thinking. How can I assure we get a compelling championship match? I thought maybe triple threat? Maybe a fatal four way...But that still doesn’t stop you and T from teaming up to sabotage a quality World Championship Match. I know you think of T-Money as your bitch, and the two of you will do anything to keep that championship around The Kid’s waist.

T-Money: Who are you calling a bitch?!

AM: Listen, T, you’re getting your shot at the FFCW World Championship. In fact, you’re going to get the first shot in a Gauntlet Match. Other participants will include JJ...The Dazzler...and whoever I damn well feel like including. Can I get a glass of bubbly for the road?

[AM smiles as he walks off stage. Kid flips the table and looks furious. T-Money doesn’t look too happy either.]

Mathews: Wow. A gauntlet match. That is a huge match for Chiaroscuro.

Punk: It really is. Second match announced for that show. I’m just glad while they have the camera on us, The Kid’s supposed friends are taking all of the crap from his victory celebration back to the back.

Mathews: Do the girls have to go? Girls, you can stay.

Punk: We’re married men, Josh.

Roberts: It is now time for our opening contest! It is a non-title match! Already in the ring, GCB! If GCB wins by pinfall, he will get a contract to challenge for the FFCW World Championship whenever he wants!

[The crowd pops as Let Me Hear You Scream plays. The FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System makes his way through the curtain.]

Mathews: Gotta think if GCB wins at all, he’d also be in line for an FFCW Sub-Forum title match.

Punk: Easier said than done.

Mathews: Especially for a guy who’s never won a match.

Punk: Well, yeah.

Non-Title Match
GCB [Pin It to Win It] versus FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System
They lock up. There is a bit of a power struggle. System throws GCB across the ring. GCB comes running back to a series of punches. System ducks a swing and throws GCB with a German suplex. GCB rolls to the floor. System chases him around. He slides back in to attack the champion. He hits him with a gutwrench suplex. He goes for the pin. System kicks out! GCB goes off the ropes and hits him with a senton. He goes for another pin, but the champion kicks out! GCB is arguing with the official. System gets behind him...Systematic Demise! GCB taps!
Winner, by submission, FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System

Mathews: The question is; can he make WMVP tap?

Punk: That remains to be seen.

Matthews: Well, we’re going to send it to a video.

[Some light violin music plays as we drive through a neighborhood with matching houses each flanked with colorful flowers. The camera pans to a sign that says “Thank You for Visiting Pleasantville.” The green grass on the side of the road starts to turn brown. Then, slowly, WILD THING BY X STARTS TO PLAY AND YOU REALIZE THIS IS A GODDAMN BIG EVIL VIGNETTE. WHATEVER FUCKING VEHICLE IS DRIVING THIS LITTLE CAMERA AROUND PULLS INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A ROADSIDE SALOON CALLS “BIG’S”. THE CAMERA OPERATOR GETS OUT OF THE LITTLE WHITE SEDAN AND APPROACHES THE DOOR. UPON ENTERING, SOMEONE CRASHES INTO THEM. THEN BIG EVIL COMES OVER AND PICKS UP THE CAMERA TALKING DIRECTLY INTO IT.]

BIG EVIL: HOW THE FUCK ARE YA? I HOPE YOU’RE THIRSTY YOU LITTLE PANSY! WHY DID YOU WEAR A FUCKING POLO TO A BIKER BAR. I GOT A FUCKING CALL FROM AM AND HE SAID THE PEOPLE MIGHT LIKE TO SEE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF ME. THERE IS ONLY ONE SIDE OF ME THOUGH. I DRINK BEER AND KICK ASS.

[HE DROPS THE CAMERA, AND THE PRODUCTION ASSISTANT IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TO PICK IT BACK UP. EVIL GOES OVER THE BAR WHEN SOMEONE YELLS ‘HEY IS THAT THING FUCKING RECORDING?’ AND THROWS A BEER BOTTLE AT THE CAMERA OPERATOR CAUSING THEM TO RUN OUT OF THE BAR.]

[The video stops as Greg is seen in the locker room watching it. AM walks into the shot.]

Greg: Hey, uh, thanks for not making you do that report.

AM: No problem, Greg. Your death would’ve weighed heavily on my conscience.

Greg: Heh.

AM: Why aren’t you in your gear?

Greg: What?

AM: You have a match!

Greg: I just thought when I lost two in a row, you’d-

AM: You are on a bit of a losing streak, aren’t you? Tell you what, Greg. How would you like to join the pool for Pin It to Win It?

Greg:I...YEAH!

AM: Get down there. Just wrestle in your street clothes.

Greg: I wanna change my music.

AM: You don’t get music for this. Get down there.

[Greg runs toward the ring.]

AM: Everybody thinks they can change their fuckin music.

Mathews: I’m good with my theme song.

Punk: You like achy breaky heart?

Mathews: That’s not my theme.

Punk: Yes it is, Josh.

Roberts: Already in the ring, Greg! If Greg wins by pinfall, he will get a contract for an FFCW World Championship Match at the time of his choosing!

[The place deflates when Immigrant Song plays. KJ walks on stage, and the crowd boos.]

Mathews: Well, KJ is here. Do you think Holzhammer is close behind?

Punk: Entirely possible. He never seems to be far.

Singles Match
Greg [Pin It to Win It] versus KJ
KJ immediately attacks Greg. He throws several hard punches in the corner. The official calls for him to break. He backs up. He starts punching again. The official pulls him off one more time. THE LIGHTS GO OFF. They come back on, and KJ and the referee are gone, but HOLZHAMMER is in the ring. He hits Greg with a headbutt! The lights flash again. KJ and the official are back in the ring. The official is very confused, but KJ steps on Greg who is motionless. He tells the official to count.
Winner, by pinfall, KJ

Mathews: How the hell did he do that?

Punk: I don’t know. Did he really need Holzhammer’s help to beat Greg?

Mathews: That’s a fair point. Well, last week we had a very unfortunate accident take place right in the middle of the ring.

Punk: Roll the footage…

Last Week

Radikal is taunting Mike. He pulls out his vape pen and takes a big hit before blowing the smoke in Mike’s face! The big man jumps in the ring and rips the vape pen out of Radikals hand! He starts to break it in half, but THE VAPE PEN EXPLODES! The official calls for the bell
Winners by DQ, The Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap]

Mathews: We need to get some help down here, fast.

Punk: How many times have I said it? How many times have I said they shouldn’t be allowed to have those fucking vape pens when they wrestle!?

Mathews: Trainers in the ring. This is bad. This is really bad.

Punk: Mike is holding his face. I think it burned his face.

Mathews: I’m going to have a sit down interview next week with Zap to talk about Mike’s condition and Mike’s future here in FFCW.

Roberts: The following contest is a non-title match!

[Radikal and Raven Star make their way down the stairs through the crowd as Man Who Sold the World plays. A production assistant walks down to the ring with the FFCW World Tag Team Championships. They point to their patches as they walk down the stairs.]

Punk: I fucking hate these guys.

Mathews: Yeah.

Punk: They are not even bad wrestlers. They’re decently good wrestlers. They’re just shitty people.

Mathews: I agree.

[The crowd pops when Princes of the Universe by Queen plays. PB and WP come out to a huge ovation from the capacity crowd.]

Mathews: You gotta think if the Legacy can pick up the victory tonight, they will be in line for a World Tag Team Championship Match.

Punk: Technically, the Australian Electric Company beat them last week.

Mathews: Right, but we’re not sure when we’ll see them again.

Punk: Well, we wish Mike all the best, but right now, we want to see Legacy pick up the victory.

Non-Title Match
FFCW World Tag Team Champions The Men Who Sold the World [Radikal and Raven Star] versus Legacy [WP and PB]
PB runs toward Raven to start the match. The champion tries to attack quickly, but PB ducks and spins him around throwing him into their corner with a giant German Suplex. He tags in WP who hits the Solo Sault! They go for the quick victory. Radikal jumps in to break the pin. The official pushes him back out, but PB comes in and swings at him. The referee is trying to break Radikal and PB up when WMS and FRANCHISE come through the crowd and pull WP out of the ring. Raven Star attacks PB to continue the official’s distraction. Franchise hits WP with a Samoan Drop. WMS hits him with Fools Rush In! They slide under the ring while PB goes back to the apron confused to see his partner out on the floor. The official is in the process of counting WP out, but he gets back in at the last second only to be hit with NEVERMORE!. Raven Star pins him.
Winners, by pinfall, The Men Who Sold the World [Radikal and Raven Star]

[PB is checking on WP when WMS and Franchise slide into the ring and attack him. Radikal and Raven Star head toward the crowd when WMS grabs a microphone.]

WMS: Raddy, Raven, we’re coming for you next, but we wanted to end the Legacy to prove we’re SERIOUS about tag team wrestling. By the way, we’re not The Empire anymore. We’re The Union Jacks!

Punk: Union Jackasses is more like it.

Mathews: What a way to sort of declare yourselves for the tag team division!

Punk: Yeah, jump guys from behind and screw them out of a match.

Mathews: The Legacy seemingly have an obstacle before they can capture the FFCW World Tag Team Championships.

[The lights go out. The crowd pops when Sink to the Beat by Cursive plays. The lights come back on and PI is standing in the ring with a microphone.]

PI: Rewind. Rewind back to the first night this thing was back. I stood in this ring, and I said I was focused. I was focused on one more run at the FFCW World Championship. I was focused on my legacy. You see, so much of my legacy is lunacy. It’s the death defying stunts. It’s the crazy lengths that I’ll go to to get what I want. I’m no stranger to having to do crazy things to get what I want. I’ve always had to do that my entire life. So enter The Kid and T-Money whining and complaining like they always do. Teaming up with jTj to take them out before I got my title shot wasn’t that crazy. Compared to most of the things I’ve done in my career, it was normal. I thought the Cassandra thing was weird how nobody knew where she was. But I didn’t care. I was focused on my legacy. I was focused on my title shot. Then, she was handcuffed in the parking lot, and you knew, CK. You knew John Wayne couldn’t resist. You knew the White Knight couldn’t resist. He had to save her, and you knew that. So there I was left vulnerable to take the pinfall 1...2..3. And my friend was hurt. My brother was hurt. Don’t get me wrong, man. I’m a little pissed at Jeff. I wish he would’ve stayed there and fought with me because I’ve gone in battle with him and for him more times than I can count. I’ve done “the right thing” more times than I can count. With him. For him. My best friend. My brother. It bothered me, but I understood.

Fast forward to last week. Alyon Mac stands in the middle of this ring and says it’s going to be ME and THE KID for the FFCW World Championship. I got my match. I got my shot at my legacy. This is what I asked for. Then who shows up? Fucking John Wayne himself. Jeff had so much kinetic tape on his neck you would’ve thought he was fucking Tutankhamen. But the White Knight had to ride in. I couldn’t fight his battles for him. Where was this Jeff when I fought CK inside Hell in a Cell? Where was this Jeff when I was fucking abducted by Holzhammer? Where was this Jeff when KJ made me fight his battles for him? He looked at me and said ‘I’m not going to let you fight my battles for me.’ But that wasn’t his battle. That was MY battle. That was MY shot.

Then, CK came on the television. He said he was going to come back. He said he was going to fight. He said there was no one here who would fight him. Bitch, I’m right here. You started this. You and your little fucking mind games that tore Jeff apart. You fucking know how to make people tick. You know how to make people go crazy, and you’re fucking dangerous. Well, guess what? I’m dangerous, too. And I’m right here. I should’ve known that I couldn’t get to my final chapter without taking you out, well fine. I’ll do it. Let’s do it. Let’s fight. Let’s have one more round. AM said he wouldn’t sanction the match. Alyon, I’m begging you. You only have to let him walk into this company one more time because when I’m done with him, he won’t be walking anywhere.

[AM walks on stage. He takes a deep breath. His eyes widen. He walks off stage.]

PI: Bitch, I’m right here!

FFCW Quake
“The End” Episode 7
FFCW Arena
Chicago, Illinois

[The opening video package features a red, white, and blue color scheme. It shows such talent as jTj, PI, KJ, WP, PB, and more. The camera ends by focusing on General Manager, AM.]

Earlier Today

[The show opens in AM’s office. There are monitors on both sides of him. CK is on one monitor, and PI is on the other.]

AM: I cannot believe I’m even toying with the idea of going through with this. CK, you manage to always get what you want, don’t you?

CK: I’m as surprised as you are. I didn’t think anyone on your roster would willingly step into the ring with me.

AM: Well, for whatever reason, PI feels he needs to fight this battle.

PI: I need to eliminate anything between me and the FFCW World Championship. I know CK, and he won’t rest until he can get under my skin.

AM: You don’t have to let him under your skin. You want in the FFCW World Championship Gauntlet Match? I’ll put you in. Call this thing off right now, and I don’t hire him. It’s that simple.

PI: You heard him. He isn’t going to stop. He isn’t going to leave people alone. He will keep hurting people.

AM: Then we let the police deal with it.

PI: No. This is my battle.

AM: This is what he wants. He wants you to let him in. Into your head. Into this company.

CK: You want me in. You both do.

AM: Listen, I have parameters before I sign off on this. Lights out. I’ll need you to both sign a release of liability. I'll provide a referee. Last Man Standing rules. It goes until one of you cannot answer a ten count. But this is the final deal. Whoever loses leaves FFCW. Forever. I’m not dragging this shit out. It ends at Chiaroscuro.

CK: One last hurrah. For PI.

PI: I’ll rid my life of this bastard once and for all.

AM: PI, that means no title shot. No one more chance. Your career ends with a Lights Out Match with a psychopath if you lose.

PI: I WON’T lose.

AM: You want this so bad? Fine. I need you both in Chicago next week to sign the contract. If you lay a hand on another member of the roster, the match is both off.

CK: And if we touch each other, the match is off. We know the routine.

AM: You sign a release of liability? I don’t care what you do to each other.

Mathews: Was that real?

Punk: PI and CK Lights Out Last Man Standing Loser Leaves FFCW. That’s a mouthful.

Mathews: I want to call that one remotely. I don’t want to be ringside for that.

Punk: They backed AM against a wall. What could he do?

Roberts: Already in the ring, GCB! If GCB wins by pinfall, he will get a contract for a future FFCW World Championship match at the time of his choosing!

[The crowd pops as Level Up by Ciara plays. The girls come out on stage and dance. Through the pink smoke comes Ness. They all do the level up dance on stage as he then makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: We saw Ness pick up the victory over GCB two weeks ago, but now the stakes are higher with a third person in the Pin It To Win It pool.

Punk: Greg. The third person is Greg.

Mathews: Either way. The pressure is on to get a win.

Singles Match
GCB [Pin It to Win It] versus Ness
GCB goes to the floor as soon as the bell rings. Ness locks eye contact with him. He goes off the rope. New Move Unlocked! SUICIDE DIVE! Ness throws punches with both hands before throwing GCB back into the ring. He slides in. He eyes lock onto GCB. He picks him up. GAME OVER! He goes for the pin.
Winner, by pinfall, Ness

Punk: Ever since Ness levelled up, he’s been undefeated!

Mathews: Personally, I think it’s the dancing girls.

[Camera follows GCB back to the locker room. Greg and Mal are sitting on a bench watching something on Mal’s phone when Baker enters.]

Baker: Bret had his own locker room. Shawn had his own locker room. What do I have to do to get my own locker room?

Mal: Win more than 2 matches...against Greg. No offense, Greg.

Greg: Heh. What?

Baker: Well, at least I’m better than you. None of you have ever won a match. Excuse me, I need to go make that 3 matches won.

[He walks out of the locker room. He’s walking down the hallway You Start A Fire begins playing. He passes a kid in the hallway and offers his sunglasses, but the kid doesn’t look up from his cell phone. Baker shrugs before walking through the gorilla position. He walks through the curtain to a mixed reaction from the crowd.]

Mathews: He knows it’s not 1995 anymore, right?

Punk: I’m just glad he doesn’t aspire to be T.L. Hopper or The Goon or something.

Mathews: That is reassuring.

[The crowd cheers when In The Castle by Wolfmother plays. WMVP makes his way through the curtain. He comes down to the ring. He hangs his special jacket on the ring post.]

Mathews: We’re just over a week away from WMVP challenging System for the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship.

Singles Match
Baker versus WMVP
Baker offers his hand to start the match. WMVP accepts, but Baker pulls him in and tries to give him a Diamond Cutter. WMVP grabs him though and takes him down with a back body drop. He begins to work the arms clearly setting up for the Viaje Vice. Baker cuts him off, and he has the advantage for awhile. He signals for the jackknife. He lifts him up, but WMVP turns it into a triangle choke. He brings him down to the mat, and then, he transitions it into a Viaje Vice! The official gets into position and asks Baker if he wants to give up...He does!
Winner, by submission, WMVP

Mathews: Well, so much for being undefeated.

Punk: WMVP is going to need to make System tap out if he wants to be Sub-Forum Champion.

Mathews: All right, well, two weeks ago, a vape exploded in Heavy Mike’s hand. Earlier today, I got to sit down with Zap and talk to him about how Mike was doing and what this meant for the future of their career.

Earlier Today

Mathews: Thanks for doing this, Zap.

Zap: Yeah, no problem.

Mathews: So two weeks ago, Mike snapped the vape out of Radikal’s hand, and it blew up in his face, literally. What was going through your mind when that happened to your partner?

Zap: Obviously, I was concerned. I know Punk has brought it up on commentary before asking why they were ever allowed to bring the vapes down to the ring, and we wondered the same thing. You see lots of stories on the news and social media about these things blowing up, but you never think it’s going to happen to you.

Mathews: Pretty scary moment I imagine. So, my next question, how is Mike doing?

Zap: I mean, from the nose down, he’s the same guy he’s always been. He’s been hitting the gym with me. He jokes around. He’s in surprisingly good spirits. If you just talked to him on the phone or something, you’d never know he’d been in an accident.

Mathews: What do you mean from the nose down? Is he experiencing hair loss? Was he burned?

Zap: Well, he does have some burns. And his hair got a little messed up, but the real issue is...he’s totally blind right now.

Mathews: Oh my god. So...is it permanent?

Zap: The doctor wasn’t sure. He said he may recover...He may not.

Mathews: So he may never wrestle again…

Zap: Hardly the case. I don’t know if you remember, Josh...We won the match. We’re technically in line for a World Tag Team Championship match, and Mikey wants to cash in at Chiaroscuro.

Mathews: How is that even possible?

Zap: Well, Mike can’t see, but he can still fight. He proposed the first ever “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?” match.

Mathews: What’s that?

Zap: One member of each team is blindfolded, or in Mikey’s case, blind. The blind fight the blind and the seeing fight the seeing.

Mathews: And AM agreed to this?

Zap: He said we could pick the stipulation for the match IF I beat the tag team champions next week in a handicap match.

Punk: Wow! Great interview, Josh, and a huge announcement for next week with huge implications for Chiaroscuro.

[The crowd boos as Riders on the Storm plays. Franchise comes through the curtain followed closely by WMS.]

Punk: Hey, it’s the Union Jackasses.

Mathews: After being unable to defeat JJ at Show Your Allegiance, WMS has decided to re-enter the tag team division with his old buddy Franchise.

Punk: They have a big target ahead of them, though. They’re calling out one of the all time great teams, the Legacy.

Mathews: That’s right. It’s been confirmed the match will take place at Chiaroscuro, but tonight, they’re in singles action.

[The crowd pops as I’m the Man by Aloe Blacc plays. WP comes through the curtain followed by PB. They come down to the ring to a big ovation from the crowd.]

Singles Match
Franchise [w/WMS] versus WP [w/PB]
They lock up, and WP wows the crowd throwing him with some arm drags and hip tosses. WMS calls him over to their corner out of frustration. WP comes into the corner with double running knees. WMS gets up on the apron, and the official goes over to yell at him. Franchise drops WP throat first on the top rope for the cut off. Franchise chokes Will on the middle rope until PB chases WMS away from the official. Franchise works WP over for awhile until he sees PB yelling at WMS on the floor. He goes over to see if WMS needs back up. WP catches him with the roll-up!
Winner, by pinfall, WP [w/PB]

Mathews: WP stole one!

Punk: He sure did, but I wonder what this means for the tag team match at Chiaroscuro?

Matthews: Well, that remains to be seen, but right now, let’s send it back to last week when we found out about the FFCW World Championship Match scheduled for Chiaroscuro.

Last Week

[One of the girls starts to get up on the apron when Greatest Show plays. General Manager AM walks on stage.]

AM: Man, Kid, that was moving. It really was. Are your lawyers down there? I don’t see anyone who looks like a lawyer, but if they’re representing you, who knows how they dress? Now, you mentioned facing T-Money at Chiaroscuro. You also mention Hulk Hogan and Diesel. Now, in January of 1999, those two went head to head in a match known as The Finger Poke of Doom. I can’t have that happen in one of my World Championship Matches.

Kid: You better not be taking away his championship match!

AM: I’m not. I’m not. But I was thinking. How can I assure we get a compelling championship match? I thought maybe triple threat? Maybe a fatal four way...But that still doesn’t stop you and T from teaming up to sabotage a quality World Championship Match. I know you think of T-Money as your bitch, and the two of you will do anything to keep that championship around The Kid’s waist.

T-Money: Who are you calling a bitch?!

AM: Listen, T, you’re getting your shot at the FFCW World Championship. In fact, you’re going to get the first shot in a Gauntlet Match. Other participants will include JJ...The Dazzler...and whoever I damn well feel like including. Can I get a glass of bubbly for the road?

[AM smiles as he walks off stage. Kid flips the table and looks furious. T-Money doesn’t look too happy either.]

Mathews: Wow. A gauntlet match. That is a huge match for Chiaroscuro.

Punk: It really is. Second match announced for that show.

Mathews: Well, up next we’re going to see four of the announced participants in that gauntlet in action.

Punk: It’s gonna be a tag team match, playa.

Roberts: The following contest is a tag team match, and it is your main event!

[The crowd boos as Must Be The Money plays. T-Money and Bambi walk on stage. What Up Gangsta then plays, and The Kid joins them. He throws the FFCW World Championship over his shoulder as they walk down to the ring.]

Mathews: The Kid has been absolutely insufferable on Twitter the last two weeks.

Punk: Not for me he hasn’t.

Mathews: Really? You didn’t find him trying to use the title to get free Uber rides, milkshakes, and lapdances annoying?

Punk: Nah, I blocked him years ago.

[The crowd pops as Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top plays. JJ walks on stage, and he has a certain swagger in his step.]

Mathews: Two weeks ago, JJ said he wanted one more shot at the time. In about a week and a half at Chiaroscuro, he’s going to get it.

Punk: Talk about a great opportunity for this guy. I’d love to see JJ with one more run at the top.

[The crowd pops huge when Fireworks by Drake plays. The Dazzler walks right past JJ and heads right for the ring. He doesn’t wait for JJ to talk down with him.]

Mathews: This Dazzler’s first match back since his injury, and you better believe he’s got some pent up aggression.

Punk: Imagine your wife gets kidnapped, the kidnapper gets a job here, and you’re told if you put your hands on her kidnapper, you’re fired. He’s going to put all of his focus on

Mathews: Dazzler wants to release that aggression and while we found out T-Money and Kid had nothing to do with it, I think he still strongly dislikes them.

Punk: Who doesn’t?

Main Event
Tag Team Match
FFCW World Champion The Kid and T-Money [w/Bambi] versus JJ and The Dazzler
Dazzler goes right for The Kid as soon as the bell rings. Kid tags T-Money, but Dazzler won’t let him out of the ring. Dazzler is fighting T off as well, but won’t take his hands off The Kid. This is a side of The Dazzler we’ve never seen before. JJ comes in and pulls him back trying to calm him down. The official is considering throwing it out. JJ hopes on the apron and calls for the tag. Dazzler looks unsure, but he tags JJ in.

Mathews: JJ and Dazzler have certainly never teamed before.

Punk: They haven’t, but I don’t think Dazz needs anybody.

JJ comes in and throws a few punches at T-Money. The crowd is all behind him. He goes for an Irish Whip, but he reverses it. T sends JJ into his corner. He comes in with a big splash. He delivers a series of punches. The official pushes T-Money out of the corner. Bambi jumps up on the apron and strangles JJ while The Kid punches him. The official finally turns around, and T-Money knocks JJ down with a big boot before he tags in the World Champion. Kid comes in and works over JJ. He takes about every shortcut in the book that he can. Bambi also trips JJ at one point. Kid and T then utilize a series of tags to work over the Gentleman.

Mathews: JJ desperately needs to get to Dazzler here.

Punk: These guys are trying to take JJ out of the equation before Chiaroscuro.

Bambi distracts the official, and both of them are in the ring. Kid misses JJ and hits T-Money knocking him onto the floor! He is flustered and Bambi goes to check on T. JJ somersaults over to Dazzler and tags him in. Dazzler comes in house of fire. Big bumps for Kid. Dazzling Kick! 1...2...Kid kicks out! Bambi is back on the apron, and T-Money slides into the ring. He rushes in. Kid slips. T-Money hits Dazzler with the brass knuckles! JJ attacks T. Kid goes for the pin!
Winners, by pinfall, T-Money [w/Bambi] and FFCW World Champion, The Kid

Punk: What a win for The Kid!

Mathews: Hold on! I’m being told there’s a commotion in the back. Rodney! Send the roaming cam to the locker room.

Punk: I don’t like this.

[The camera man gets close to the locker room, and there is smoke coming out of the door.]

Mathews: Why is there smoke coming out of there?!

[KJ comes out of the locker room with a baseball bat followed by Holzhammer with a four foot lead pipe.]

KJ: Camera man! Come here!

Holzhammer: Ha ha ha ha ha.

[Holzhammer grabs the camera man and drags him into the locker room where several members of the roster are on the floor, and Mal is covered in blood. There is a monitor in the locker room where you can see exactly what’s on camera. The camera then cuts to AM on headset in the production truck in a split screen.]

AM: Send security, obviously, but call the fucking cops. I’m tired of this shit. He doesn’t even work here. Call the cops.

KJ: Why won’t you just let this die? Will you PLEASE just let us kill this?

AM: KJ, you son of a bitch, you’re going to have to come up with something else because I’m not going down that easily! CALL THE GODDAMN COPS I SAID.

Mathews: What the hell is going on?!

Chicago, Illinois

[The opening video package features a red, white, and blue color scheme. It shows such talent as jTj, PI, KJ, WP, PB, and more. The camera ends by focusing on General Manager, AM.]

After We Went Off the Air Last Week

[Police have Holzhammer in handcuffs putting him in the back of the car while KJ is yelling at them.]

KJ: AM, you’re going to pay for this!

AM: He doesn’t work here. If he shows up on FFCW property again, he better be here to sign a contract.

[The video stops, and AM is standing in the ring. Immigrant Man plays, and KJ walks down to the ring.]

AM: Is he here?

[Suddenly, Carmina Burana plays. Holzhammer walks down to the ring with a four foot lead pipe in his hand. He enters the ring and stands by KJ.]

AM: Good, you’re both here. Three weeks ago, I offered you a contract. You headbutted me and then have proceeded to show up here every week since. Last week, I called the police on you. Tonight, I want to make a deal.

KJ: You want to make a deal?! YOU want to make a deal?!

AM: Yeah. Shut up. KJ, I will burn through every match on your contract tonight if you want. You want to destroy this company? You want to end that? You can’t do that if you’re not here.

Holzhammer: What’s your deal?

AM: Holz, I gave you a contract for three months the first time around. That’s all the longer I intend to run for. This contract is for less. This contract is for one match. You and KJ in a tag team match. You win, you make the terms of your contract. However many dates you want. However many appearances you want. The only thing I negotiate is your pay. If you lose, you’re gone forever. KJ is gone forever.

[AM takes the contract out of his pocket. Holzhammer takes it out of his hand, and signs it.]

KJ: So after we beat the crap out of your entire locker room last week, who are you going to feed to the lions?

AM: You’re right. You did beat up a lot of my guys last week, but more importantly, you two have been under my skin since this thing started back up. If someone is going to take care of this issue, it’s me.

KJ: Fine. You’re going to fight us by yourself? No one in that locker room can hang with us.

AM: Well, I disagree. However, interestingly enough, my partner, like yours, doesn’t have a contract here either.

[The crowd EXPLODES WHEN GOING OUT IN STYLE BY DROPKICK MURPHYS PLAYS. The crowd, Holzhammer, and KJ don’t believe it when RT walks through the curtain.]

RT: One match. One night only. I’m coming back to kick your asses!

[Holzhammer levels AM with the pipe, but RT grabs an empty chair from the fourth row on his way down to the ring and slides in. KJ runs right into a chair shot to head. RT blocks the lead pipe with the chair, and then, he swings for the fences. He misses Holzhammer, but the pipe wielding villain jumps out of the ring anyways. RT checks on AM. Security comes rushing down.]

Mathews: Holy shit.

Punk: A huge match added to Chiaroscuro this Saturday night.

Mathews: With stakes that could change this company forever.

Punk: It’s been over ten years since Holzhammer has been a full time member of this roster.

Mathews: It could certainly expedite the end that KJ has been talking about.

Punk: No kidding.

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction as You Start the Fire plays, and Baker makes his way through the curtain. He’s introduced from “In Your House”.]

Mathews: Baker suffered his first loss last week.

Punk: 2-1 isn’t a bad record, but I cannot imagine what his record might be if he hadn’t complained about his great Green Day song.

Mathews: You think Alex is that petty?

Punk: I absolutely do.

[Baker waits unsuspectingly, but what he doesn’t know is...THIS IS A FUCKIN BIG EVIL MATCH! WILD THING PLAYS AS THE BIG BASTARD HIMSELF BIG EVIL COMES THROUGH THE FUCKING CURTAIN. HE HAS TO PUSH OPEN THE CURTAIN WITH HIS ELBOW BECAUSE THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS DOUBLE FISTING.]

BIG EVIL: DON’T YOU DARE STOP MY FUCKIN MUSIC!

PUNK: I CAN FEEL IT IN MY VEINS, JOSH.

MATHEWS: THE SWEARINGEST MOTHERFUCKER IN FFCW HISTORY! WHO ALSO JUST HAPPENS TO BE UNDEFEATED.

PUNK: YOU DON’T THINK BAKER IS BEING FUCKING PUNISHED NOW?!

MATTHEWS: WELL, FUCK. I GUESS HE IS.

ATTEMPTED MURDER
BAKER VERSUS BIG EVIL
BAKER TRIES TO STRUT HIS STUFF AND DO SOME BULLSHIT RUNNING AROUND BIG EVIL AT THE BEGINNING. HE KICKS ONE OF EVIL’S BEERS OUT OF HIS HANDS WHICH IS A RECIPE FOR DEATH. BIG EVIL KICKS HIM STRAIGHT IN THE GUT AND POWERBOMBS HIS ASS TWICE. HE KEEPS THE SHOULDERS DOWN.
WINNER, BY PINFALL, BIG EVIL

[THE OFFICIAL IS RAISING BIG EVIL’S HAND WHEN SUDDENLY Level Up by Ciara plays, and the dancers come on stage. Ness comes out to join them.]

Ness: REMATCH?!

BIG EVIL: YOU’RE DAMN FUCKING RIGHT I’LL GIVE YOU A REMATCH. I AIN’T NO BITCH. I WON’T BACK DOWN FROM A FIGHT!



Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been informed that since Baker has yet to win a match by pinfall, he will be added to Pin It to Win It. I’ve also been informed that all Pin It to Win It participants will compete in a Fatal Fourway at Chiaroscuro!

Punk: Wait, how is Baker in Pin It to Win It when he’s two and two?

Mathews: I guess because he won both of those matches by submission?

Punk: Oh shit. You’re right. That’s pretty petty. I’m not surprised.

Mathews: Either way, with a Fatal Fourway on Sunday, we should have a winner of some sort for the Pin It to Win It.

[The crowd boos as Riders on the Storm plays, and WMS comes through the curtain accompanied by Franchise.]

Mathews: This Saturday night, these two will attempt to make their mark on the tag team division by going head to head with the Legacy.

Punk: Hell of a challenge to dive in with.

Mathews: It really is. Especially when I don’t think they’ve ever had a tag team match.

[The crowd cheers as Last Man Standing by Bon Jovi plays. PB comes through the curtain closely followed by WP.]

Singles Match
WMS [w/Franchise] versus PB [w/WP]
The official calls for the bell, and the crowd is clearly on the side of PB. They lock up, and PB is quick with a headlock takedown. He crawls around WMS to switch his leverage point, but WMS manages to get to the ropes. He breaks, and then begins to throw the smaller man around. PB may be short, but he’s low key one of the strongest guys on the roster as he throws Wisey around effortlessly. He goes for a pin, but Franchise jumps up on the apron. WP comes around to pull him down, and they are chasing each other around the ring. Franchise slides into the ring to evade WP who follows him. He drops something which WMS picks up. The official is trying to get WP and Franchise out of the ring, ejecting them both while WMS hits PB with a low blow followed by Fools Rush In. He hooks the leg and has a handful of tights. The official completely misses it.
Winner, by pinfall, WMS

Mathews: Oh come on! He stole one!

Punk: I can’t say I’m surprised, but the singles matches are tied up leading into Chiaroscuro.

Mathews: Let’s take a look at one of our big championship matches for this Saturday night.

[Joker and The Thief by Wolfmother plays.]

Dazz runs to the ropes and jumps off with the Dazzling Kick, but System ducks it! System catches him! Systematic Demise. Franchise tries to break it, but WMVP locks him in the Viaje Vice! Two submissions simultaneously! The official watches both. DAZZ TAPS! FRANCHISE TAPS!
Winner, by submission, and the NEW FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System!

Mathews: But they both tapped!

Punk: I think Dazz tapped first.

[The official goes over and grabs the championship. System looks at his own reflection before putting it over his shoulder for a second time. WMVP gets up and looks furious. System offers a hand to him. WMVP looks around at the crowd and looks at System. They shake hands, and System raises his hand!]

-----

System: Dude! No. I came to say I talked to AM. I said the only person I’m defending this championship against is you.

WMVP: Name the time and place.

System: Chiaroscuro. AM already put the match in place.

WMVP: I’ll see you then. Keep it warm for me.

-----

He goes for another pin, but the champion kicks out! GCB is arguing with the official. System gets behind him...Systematic Demise! GCB taps!
Winner, by submission, FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System

Mathews: The question is; can he make WMVP tap?

Punk: That remains to be seen.

------

He lifts him up, but WMVP turns it into a triangle choke. He brings him down to the mat, and then, he transitions it into a Viaje Vice! The official gets into position and asks Baker if he wants to give up...He does!
Winner, by submission, WMVP

Punk: WMVP is going to need to make System tap out if he wants to be Sub-Forum Champion.

Chiaroscuro 2020
FFCW Sub-Forum Championship Match
WMVP versus System ©

Punk: That might be the match I’m looking forward to the most, Josh.

Mathews: It certainly will be, as the kids say, a banger.

Roberts: The following contest is a handicap match. If Zap wins, The Australian Electric Company will get to choose their stipulation for the World Tag Team Championship Match at Chiaroscuro.

[The crowd boos as Men Who Sold the World plays by Nirvana. Radikal and Raven Star sort of shuffle down the stairs. A production assistant brings down the FFCW World Tag Team Championships.]

Punk: They should be stripped of the titles.

Mathews: You really think so?

Punk: Yes. They refuse to carry them. They refuse to bring them to the ring. They have no respect for them.

[Thunderstruck by AC/DC begins to play as Zap comes through the curtain. He has more electricity than normal. The crowd is strongly behind him.]

Mathews: If Zap wins this handicap match, it will be the first ever ‘Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?’ Match which means one member of each team will be blindfolded.

Punk: What happens if Radikal and Raven Star win?

Mathews: I think it will just be a regular tag team match.

Handicap Match
*If Zap wins, he chooses the stipulation for the Tag Team Championship Match at Chiaroscuro*
The Men Who Sold the World [Radikal and Raven Star] versus Zap
The tag team champions jump Zap at the start of the match, but the official threatens to disqualify them. Finally, Radikal goes to the corner. Raven Star starts the match working over Zap. He tries to put him away quickly. However, Zap is not staying down. He starts throwing a lot of strikes which is uncharacteristic of him. He’s showing a more angry side. He works Raven into the corner, and the official calls for a break. Raven rushes to Radikal for the tag. He comes in and starts to work on Zap. He goes for the Rad-I-Kill, but Zap slips out of it. He goes for a roll up, but Radikal kicks out. He runs to Raven and makes a tag. Star comes in and hits Zap with a double axe handle. He Irish whips him into the corner. Radikal holds Zap while Raven comes in with a splash. He calls for Nevermore out of the corner. Zap holds onto the rope. He lifts Raven up and uses him to knock Radikal off the apron. He delivers a backdrop before jumping to the top. Flash Splash! He stole it!
Winner, Zap

Mathews: Wow! We will see the first ever ‘Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?’ at Chiaroscuro!

Punk: What a win from Zap.

Mathews: Now he’s going to have a chance to team with his blind best friend, Mike, at Chiaroscuro.

Punk: But we’ve got one more match tonight.

Roberts: The following contest is a Triple Threat Match!

[What Up, Gangsta plays, The Kid walks down the ramp in a suit with the FFCW World Championship on his shoulder. He sits down with Mathews and Punk at the commentary table.]

Kid: Y’all remember how good it was when The Kid was on commentary?

Punk: I actually sort of forgot about that. After a lot of effort and therapy.

Kid: The correct response was ‘Congratulations and welcome Mr. Champion, sir. Please teach us something about commentary.’

Punk: I’m out of here.

[The crowd pops as Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top plays. JJ makes his way down the ramp.]

Kid: I can’t wait to beat JJ’s old ass. Like, this old man snuck out of the retirement home, showed up here, and not only do we give him a job. We give him a title shot. What the fuck.

Mathews: JJ beat WMS at Show Your Allegiance.

Kid: And? I wake up every morning and beat WMS three times before breakfast. I’m the Kid. I’m the champ. I’m the greatest.

Mathews: Well, JJ is just one of the men who will be facing you Saturday night.

[The crowd boos as Bambi walks on stage. Then, Must Be The Money plays, and T-Money joins her. They walk down to the ring stopping to pay their respects to The Kid.]

Kid: This man right here is the only one who deserves to get a title shot at Chiaroscuro. He deserves it. Just like I deserve it.

Mathews: Will you shake T-Money’s hand if he beats you at Chiaroscuro?

Kid: I love this man, T-Money. We could very well be brothers. But the fact of the matter is, I would stab my own brother in the back to keep this title. He ain’t taking this from me.

[The place erupts when Fireworks by Drake plays. The Dazzler walks on stage.]

Kid: See, this man is deranged. He thought me and T did something to his wife. We didn’t do anything to that fat old bitch.

Mathews: You realize she’s over seven months pregnant, right?

Kid: I ain’t know nothing about that. I’m the World Champion not an optometrist.

Mathews: Well, I think Dazzler would love for the headlines to read ‘FFCW World Champion becomes a father for the first time.’

Triple Threat Match
JJ versus T-Money versus The Dazzler
As soon as the bell rings, Dazzler and JJ begin to double team T-Money. They both hit him with some cool shit before Bambi jumps up on the apron. Dazzler goes to tell her to get down when T-Money pokes JJ in the eye. He hits him with the Moneymaker and goes for the pin. Dazzler breaks it! JJ rolls to the floor, and Bambi goes over to slap him. He grabs her hand and chastises her. T-Money goes after him. They are exchanging fisticuffs on the floor when Dazzler jumps to the top. Shooting Star Press onto all three of them! He pops back up and yells in The Kid’s face. He then throws T-Money into him! Dazzler then throws JJ in the ring and goes for the pin. JJ kicks out. T-Money and The Kid both slide into the ring, and the official is trying to get Kid out. Bambi jumps on the apron and throws in the brass knuckles! DAZZLER CATCHES THEM! He nails T-Money! He nails The Kid. He looks at JJ. He throws the knuckles to JJ while he springboards off the middle rope! Dazzling Kick! He throws JJ to the floor! He heads to the top. Shooting Star Press on T-Money. We have a winner!
Winner, by pinfall, The Dazzler

Mathews: Dazz did it! He’ll have to do it to The Kid on Saturday if he wants to become champion, and he won’t be able to use those brass knuckles. While we get things ready for the contract signing, why don’t we go over the card for Saturday night?

Mathews: That should be a great event this Saturday night.

[Cult of Personality plays as CM Punk comes back down to the ring. He gets into the ring and takes the microphone off the table.]

Punk: I have been asked by FFCW Management to conduct this contract signing. First, let’s bring down a squadron of Chicago’s finest.

[A slew of police officers walk down to the ring. About four of them are outside the ring while two get into the ring. Dead and Bloated by Stone Temple Pilots plays as CK walks down to the ring.]

Mathews: This guy has played mind games and been manipulative this entire time. He kidnapped a woman and somehow snaked his way back here.

[The lights go out. PI is in the ring when they come back on.]

PI: Let’s fucking do that.

Punk: Whoa! Slow down. I’ve been asked to go over some particulars first. The number one thing being that you sign a release of liability. What that means is no matter what you two do to each other, you cannot sue the company. Do you both understand?

CK: No matter what?

Punk: That’s what it says.

CK: Funnnn.

PI: I wouldn’t count on having too much fun.

CK: You don’t know what my kind of fun is.

Punk: Hold on! Nobody’s having fun until this thing is signed. Next. Last Man Standing rules. You’ll fight until one of you cannot answer a ten count.

PI: Can I make a suggestion?

Punk: Sure?

PI: Have an ambulance waiting.

CK: Maybe a coroner.

Punk: I’ll pass those on to management..Finally, whoever loses can never wrestle in FFCW again.

CK: Can’t

Punk: What?

CK: When I’m done with him you’ll say he can’t wrestle in FFCW again because he won’t be able to wrestle again.

PI: Sign the fucking papers.

Punk: There, there, initial there, and sign at the bottom. Ok. PI, same thing. I will put this in an envelope and send it to legal. See you Saturday, folks.

[PI immediately flips the table over and the SPIKE is taped to the bottom. He rips it off with a smile on his face. CK backs into one of the cops. He starts trying to loosen the cop’s nightstick when he gets his eyes on the gun! He reaches for it and is wrestling the cop for it when Punk kicks CK in the head. PI freezes when he realizes what CK was trying to do. He sort of collapses in the ring. The police pull CK out of the ring and put him in handcuffs.]

Mathews: What the hell is going to happen Saturday!?

©FFCW; A Division of Mind’s Eye Entertainment[/quote][/quote][/u]

[The show opens with AM sitting at his desk in his gear.]

AM: Tonight, against my better judgment and despite the recommendations of the Chicago Police Department, the main event is happening. We’ve been required to hire an additional private security company, and I actually got a direct phone number for the National Guard, but it’s happening. CK and PI are lucky that there is someone in management above me even who really wants to see how this plays out. So tonight, the match pitting PI against CK in a Lights Out Loser Leaves FFCW Last Man Standing Match will happen.

[Suddenly, All About the Power starts playing...in his office.]

AM: Why...the fuck...is music play? In my office?

[Then, David Otunga walks in.]

AM: David, if you’re here to host the Chiaroscuro Kick-Off Show, you’re late. And we don’t have one. And if we did, it would be hosted by Cathy Kelley because she’s hot.

Otunga: I’m actually here for something much more serious.

AM: And what would that be? I’ve got eight matches tonight including one that I’ll be wrestling in.

Otunga: No you won’t.

AM: What?

Otunga: You won’t be wrestling. I’m here as legal counsel for KJ and Holzhammer. The contract you drew up is absolutely ridiculous, and that match will not be happening.

AM: What?! Hold on.

Otunga: Listen, I’m willing to negotiate, but unless you’re willing to make major concessions, that match isn’t happening how you signed it.

AM: David, let’s get the cameras out of here and get legal on the phone, then we can talk.

Otunga: Fine.

[The fireworks explode. It’s a black and white set and logo. We cut to Josh Mathews and CM Punk.]

Mathews: Did you see that? David Otunga here to try and put a stop to one of our main events tonight.

Punk: Well, I am glad he’s not here to wrestle, but I also hope AM comes up with something to help the main event go on.

Mathews: We’ve got three title matches tonight, the aforementioned tag team match, and we’ll also be calling the Lights Out Loser Leaves FFCW Last Man Standing Match between PI and CK.

Punk: Try to say that three times fast, but in all seriousness, that will be an absolute war, and I’d be surprised if they both walk out on their own volition tonight.

Roberts: The opening contest is a Pin It to Win It Match! If one of these men can win the match by pinfall, they will get a contract for an FFCW World Championship Match at any time of their choosing.

Punk: So it ends tonight.

Mathews: That’s right. There are no disqualifications in a fatal fourway.

Pin It to Win It
Baker versus GCB versus Greg versus Mal
The match begins with them all standing in their respective corners. Mal and Baker quickly run to the opposite corners, kicking Greg and GCB. They pull them into the corners and jump over going for stereo sunset flips! The official won’t count the stereo pins. Mal and Baker start arguing when GCB hits Mal with a German Suplex. He gets Baker up on his shoulders. TKO! Greg runs into him and gets hit with a belly-to-belly suplex. Mal knees him in the back and hits GCB with Malifornication. He goes for the pin, but Greg breaks it. The Funkmeister immediately backs into the ropes while Mal looks furious. Mal runs at Greg who moves and throws him over the top rope. GCB goes at him, and Mal throws him over the top rope, too. Baker hits Greg with Sweet Chin Music! He knocks Greg out. He then signals for the Sharpshooter. Mal and GCB slide in, but Greg taps!
Winner, by submission, Baker

Roberts: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner is Baker, however, he does NOT win the Pin It to Win It contract since he did not win by pinfall.

Mathews: Hahahahahahhaha.

Punk: Hahahahahahahaha.

Mathews: Well, we thought it was going to end.

Punk: We sure did. I didn’t even think about someone winning by submission.

Mathews: I bet management didn’t either.

Roberts: The following contest is a rematch!

[The crowd pops as Level Up by Ciara plays. The dancing girls come on stage before Ness joins them. They dance for a second before he makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Ness has been on a hot streak since he added the hot girls.

Punk: Joshua.

Mathews: Whaaat?

Punk: Come on.

[THEN YOU FUCKING REMEMBERED WHO HE’S FACING. THAT’S RIGHT YOU CRAZY SONS OF BITCHES. THIS IS A BIG EVIL MATCH. WILD THING IS PLAYING, AND BIG EVIL HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING WITH A LITERAL FUCKING TRAY OF BEERS. THIS MOTHERFUCKER HAS A TRAY OF BEERS ON WHEELS. HE SLIDES IT DOWN THE RAMP. HE LOSES A FEW ON THE WAY.]

MATHEWS: I HOPE THE ILLINOIS STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSION DOESN’T SEE HOW MUCH HE’S DRINKING BEFORE THE MATCH.

PUNK: THE VICE PEOPLE HOPEFULLY AREN’T HERE FOR DARK SIDE OF THE RING: FFCW EDITION.

MATHEWS: OH THAT WOULD BE BAD. MAYBE IT’S NA BEER.

PUNK: AS A STRAIGHT EDGE PERSON, I CAN TELL YOU...NOBODY DRINKS NA BEER.

THE REMATCH
BIG EVIL VERSUS NESS
PER EVIL’S REQUEST, AT NO TIME DID WE STOP PLAYING HIS FUCKING MUSIC. HE STUMBLES INTO THE RING WHEN THE REFEREE RINGS THE DAMN BELL. EVIL SWINGS FOR THE FENCES, BUT NESS DUCKS. HE SPAMS HIM WITH SOME FUCKING PUNCHES. EVIL GOES FOR A HAYMAKER, BUT NESS IS ABLE TO EVADE IT! NESS GOES OFF THE ROPES… FLYING KNEE! EVIL FALLS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AND PUKES ONTO THE FLOOR. HE TURNS AROUND. NESS HITS HIM WITH GAMEOVER! HE HOOKS THE LEG!
WINNER, BY PINFALL...Ness?

[EVIL ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND RIPS THE MICROPHONE OUT OF JUSTIN ROBERT’S HAND.]

EVIL: FOR AWHILE NOW, I’VE BEEN REAL FUCKING CURIOUS HOW MUCH I CAN DRINK WITHOUT LOSING...SO TONIGHT WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS! I FOUND MY LIMIT, AND GOD DAMN IT, I’LL DRINK TO THAT.

Mathews: He’s getting suspended.

Punk: He’s totally getting suspended.

[The level up girls are dancing on stage. Ness looks at them, and he looks upset. He shoves one of them off the stage. The others scream as he is kicking and hollering. Cathy Kelley comes on stage.]

Kelley: Ness, you just beat your rival, Big Evil, why are you so upset?

Ness: Where is my podium?! Where is my trophy?! How do I get out of here!?

Kelley: Through the door?

Ness: I was in cutscenes for what felt like forever. I beat EVERY level. I levelled up more times than I care to remember. What do I have to do to beat this game? Does this game even end? Does this game EVER end?!

[Ness walks off the stage looking dejected.]

Mathews: What the hell was that about?

Punk: I have no idea…

Roberts: The following contest is a tag team match!

[The crowd boos as Riders on the Storm plays, and The Unionjacks WMS and Franchise make their way through the curtain. WMS rips up a fan’s sign.]

Mathews: These guys are jerks. I cannot wait to see them get beat up tonight.

Punk: You have WMS, extremely unlikable. Franchise, moderately unlikable, but you put them together? Two real pricks.

[The crowd pops when Princes of the Universe plays. PB and WP collectively known as the Legacy comes down to the ring.]

Tag Team Match
The Unionjacks [WMS and Franchise] versus Legacy [WP and PB]
Franchise and PB start out the match. PB throws Franchise around the ring with a series of suplexes. WMS is yelling instructions trying to get Franchise to tag him in. PB locks in a crossface, and Franchise can’t get the tag. WMS comes in and kicks PB in the face. WP yells at the official who is distracted. WMS kicks PB between the legs while the official isn’t looking. WP tries to come in again, but the official kicks him out. Franchise hits PB with a double axe handle. He hits him with a series of forearms before dragging him into the corner. He tags in WMS who puts the boots to him. They continue to tag in and out double teaming PB. WP is trying to get the crowd fired up behind his partner. WMS then pushes WP off the apron. He slides into the ring, and the official rushes to stop him. WMS and Franchise are double teaming PB, but finally, he just seems to be suddenly impervious to pain. He throws Franchise with a belly-to-belly. He then hits WMS with the same. He power walks over to WP and tags him in. WP runs in and hits Franchise with a 6-1-9. He then jumps onto the middle rope and elbows WMS off the apron. He jumps to the top and leg drops Franchise on the middle rope. He goes for the pin. WMS jumps in and breaks it. PB runs around and pulls WMS out. Wheelbarrow suplex on the floor! WP jumps to the top. Solo Sault! Hooks the leg.
Winners, by pinfall, Legacy [WP and PB]

Mathews: Wow! The Unionjacks tried to cheat every step of the way, but Legacy still came out on top.

Punk: You know? I always looked at these guys and thought: good friends, better enemies, but they really will go down as one of the great teams in FFCW history.

Mathews: I think you’re absolutely right.

Part 1 of 3

Uh oh, formatting.

Punk: Am I right to understand the next three matches are title matches?

Mathews: That’s right, Punk.

Roberts: The following contest is for the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship!

[The crowd pops as Into the Castle by Wolfmother plays. WMVP makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: This match has been built on respect.

Punk: It really has. These two guys would both make us proud to be Sub-Forum Champion.

Mathews: Both of these men have won their matches by submission. It begs the question; which move is better; the Viaje Vice or the Systematic Demise?

Punk: Anaconda Vice.

[The crowd pops again as Let Me Hear You Scream plays. System walks down to the ring with the championship around his waist. ]

FFCW Sub-Forum Championship Match
WMVP versus System ©
The match starts with both men shaking hands in the middle of the ring. They lock up, and it’s a bit of a power struggle. System powers the smaller man down, sending him to the mat. WMVP gets back up. They circle back around and lock up again. WMVP applies a headlock. They chain wrestle for a while, and they have a series of near falls. System goes to the floor clearly feeling a bit frustrated. WMVP yells ‘come on’ and tries to get him to come back in the ring, but he doesn’t. He goes off the ropes and attempts a suicide dive, but System catches him with a European uppercut! The big man then DDTs him on the floor! He throws him back in the ring and goes for the pin. WMVP kicks out. System stays on him, hitting him with a Gutwrench powerbomb. He goes for the pin again. WMVP kicks out. MVP then transitions into an arm bar. He’s got System right where he wants him in the middle of the ring. System rolls onto his knees. He power lifts him up, but WMVP breaks the hold and wraps around his neck. Reverse rana on the big man! He applies the Viaje Vice! The crowd is hyped. System refuses to give up. He struggles to get to the ropes as WMVP wrenches back. Finally, he manages to get his long leg on the rope, and the official calls for the break. WMVP is surprised nearly to the point of arguing with the official. System pulls himself up. Cobra Clutch Slam! Systematic Demise. He has it locked in. WMVP clearly isn’t going anywhere. WMVP escapes the body scissors. He jumps over to shift his weight onto Systems shoulders, but it also makes the clutch tighter. 1...2...The referee calls for the bell!
Winner, by submission and STILL FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System

Mathews: WMVP quit at the last minute!

Punk: No! No! No! No! No! He didn’t quit! He didn’t tap. Both of his arms were entrapped. How could he tap?

[WMVP is furious. System seems exhausted not really knowing what’s going on. WMVP shoves the official down. System grabs him and asks him what the hell his problem is. He kicks the bottom rope and stomps up the stage cussing under his breath.]

Mathews: Man, I think WMVP is also saying he didn’t quit.

Punk: Well, maybe he didn’t…

Mathews: Either way, the referee’s decision is final.

Punk: I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind seeing these two go at it again.

Mathews: I think that’s one of the responses on EWR when you have a good match. Let’s send it to the back.

[We cut to the back where Cathy Kelley is standing by AM’s door.]

Kelley: So, I’m standing outside AM’s door, and there is a lot of yelling going on in there. I’m not sure what the deal is.

[RT walks into the shot approaching the door.]

Kelley: RT, do you have any idea what’s going on in there?

RT: Nah, I just got a text from AM asking me to sign a new contract for this match.

[David Otunga, KJ, and Holzhammer walk out of AM’s office.]

Otunga: I’m sure I can get more of what you asked for.

KJ: What are we paying you for if we can’t get everything we want?

Holzhammer: I vote we just beat the hell out of them.

Otunga: We’re getting close. We’re negotiating. I’m going to get you everything you want.

[They continue to walk away. RT looks at Cathy.]

RT: Maybe the contract isn’t ready yet.

[AM busts out of the office looking furious.]

AM: I don’t negotiate with terrorists. Cathy, you look wonderful. The stupid contract isn’t enough for them. I’m trying to find something they will agree to, but legal won’t budge on certain things. I cannot believe they hired a lawyer.

RT: And it’s David Otunga.

AM: Right? Unbelievable.

RT: You know what? Just give them whatever they want if they win...It’s not going to happen.

AM: Are you sure?

RT: Yeah, we got this.

-----

Roberts: The following contest is the first ever “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” Match for the FFCW World Tag Team Championships!

[We cut back to ringside where Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Zap walks out first. He motions to the entrance way where Mike comes out to a huge reaction! He’s wearing a cool custom mask that covers his eyes as well as rocking a giant wooden walking stick! Zap guides him down to the ring.]

Mathews: The man is totally blind and totally jacked!

Punk: I wouldn’t even fight this guy blind, Josh! What are the rules for this thing?

Mathews: Well, it’s similar to the old mixed tag match. The seeing fight the seeing and the blind fight the blind. A member of the Men Who Sold the World will be blindfolded.

Punk: So the challengers actually have a fair shake at this.

[The crowd boos when Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana plays, and Radikal and Raven Star enter through the crowd. A production assistant brings the FFCW World Tag Team Championships down by hand.]

Punk: Please let tonight be the night these two lose the championships.

Mathews: Either way, we’re making history with a revolutionary match type.

Punk: There have been blindfold matches before.

Mathews: Yes, but unlike those boring god-awful blindfold matches, in this one, they have a partner on the apron to guide them.

FFCW World Tag Team Championship Match
“Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” Match
The Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap] versus The Men Who Sold the World [Radikal and Raven Star] ©
The referee asks the champions which one of them will be wearing the mask. Radikal puts on the mask. Mike says he wants to start the match, so Radikal doesn’t have a choice. The two blind men walk toward each other with their partners yelling instructions. Mike catches Radikal with a right hook after swinging around big time. He feels around for Radikal before throwing some stiff punches at him. The official calls for a break, and he finally backs off. They chain wrestle a little bit, and Zap clearly wants to get into the match. Mike tries to find him, but Radikal also trails the sound of his voice. He splashes Mike in the corner knocking Zap off the apron. He works Mike over in the corner until the official calls for a break. Zap slides into the ring and German Suplexes Radikal! The official yells at him to go to his corner. Mike, not seeing what happened, grabs Zap and hits him with a belly to belly suplex. Raven yells for Radikal to come to him and make the tag, and he does. Zap and Raven Star are now legal. The champion rushes over to take advantage of Zap. He beats him down with a series of moves. Raven throws Zap into the corner and instructs Radikal to hold him in place. Raven Star comes into the corner with a big splash! Radikal gets caught though and falls off the apron. Zap rushes to the corner to tag Mike. He comes into the ring while Radikal is still on the floor. Raven Star helps his partner into the ring before running around the ring to attack Zap. The official yells at Raven Star when Radikal pulls off the blindfold and kicks Mike between the legs. He pins him hooking the tights. The official counts it.
Winners, by pinfall, and still FFCW World Tag Team Champions, The Men Who Sold the World [Radikal and Raven Star]

Punk: Come on! Back to back bad calls in title matches from the same ref.

Mathews: I’d say management is watching, but with everything going on with the contract negotiations they may not be.

Punk: The Australian Electric Company got robbed.

Mathews: No argument there, but, alas, the championship matches continue.

Roberts: The following contest is a gauntlet match for the FFCW World Championship!

[The crowd boos as What Up Gangsta? by G-Unit plays, and The Kid comes down to the ring with the FFCW World Championship.]

Mathews: You don’t normally see the champion come out first, but he doesn’t know who he’ll be facing first.

Punk: He’s got three challengers toni-

Mathews: AT LEAST three.

Punk: Don’t even interrupt me again.

Roberts: And now, let us all find out who will face The Kid first!

[The crowd boos as Must Be the Money plays. Bambi walks on stage followed by T-Money.]

Mathews: How does this fare for The Kid?

Punk: Well, a lot of people would’ve said this was going to be his easy one.

Mathews: Do you buy into what AM said about Kid counting on T-Money to lay down for him?

Punk: I don’t know. We’ve seen T-Money do what it takes to win championships before.

FFCW World Championship Match
Gauntlet Match
The Kid © versus T-Money [w/Bambi] [Challenger 1]
The official calls for the bell, and the two friends shake hands. They circle each other a few times before locking up. They both press as hard as they can, but they end up breaking the tie up. They circle around a few times again, and they lock up for a second time. Kid applies a headlock, but T-Money lifts him high over his head! Kid rolls out and looks shocked. They lock up again, and T-Money puts on a headlock of his own. Kid pushes him into the ropes and screams for a break. Kid then goes to the center of the ring and gets on all fours challenging him to amateur style wrestling. T goes on top and quickly rolls Kid onto his shoulders. The official counts to two, but Kid kicks out. Kid then tells T to get into the same position. He does, and Kid kicks him right in the gut! He rolls him up with a handful of tights!
Winner, by pinfall, The Kid

[T-Money looks furious that The Kid cheated. He rolls to the floor and kicks the barricade. Bambi is pointing and laughing at him. He looks at her as he heads for the ramp, but she indicates she’s staying out here. Sharp Dressed Man begins to play, and it’s clear JJ is the next entrant in the gauntlet. He passes T-Money on the ramp, and he gets jumped! T-Money is in a rage throwing JJ into the barricade. He then hits him with the Moneymaker on the stage.]

Punk: T-Money showing his true colors jumping JJ for The Kid.

Mathews: Did he do it for The Kid, or is he just pissed?

Punk: I don’t know. His girl seemingly just left him, and his best friend stole away what may be his only shot at the championship.

Mathews: This could also be JJ’s only shot at the championship.

Gauntlet Match
The Kid © [w/Bambi] versus JJ [Challenger 2]
JJ rolls into the ring and insists to the official he wants to start, so the referee calls for the bell. Kid runs at him into the corner, but JJ catches him with a drop toe hold onto the middle turnbuckle. He jumps up and hits double knees in the corner. He goes off the ropes, but Bambi grabs his ankles. The official chastises her when The Kid hits him with a low blow and rolls him up.
Winner, by pinfall, The Kid [w/Bambi]

[Fireworks by Drake plays, and he doesn’t hesitate as he runs down to the ring.]

Matthews: Dazzler isn’t waiting.

Punk: He sure isn’t.

Mathews: After everything he’s been through, imagine if he became FFCW World Champion!

He gets up again and drops a series of elbow drops He jumps up to the top rope and delivers a Shooting Star Press. He hooks the leg, but Bambi pulls Kid’s foot onto the rope. The official calls for the break and asks Bambi if she did that. Dazzler gets into the official’s face saying of course she did that while Kid goes to the floor. He finally drops yelling at the official to go off the ropes! Suicide dive to the floor! He takes Kid and Bambi down. All three are down on the floor when the referee begins a double count out. They all start to get up slowly and Kid throws Dazzler into the steel stairs. He rolls into the ring and tells the official to count faster.

Punk: He retained the championship!

Mathews: But wait-

Roberts: And now, the fourth and final challenger in the Gauntlet Match!

Punk: What?!

Mathews: Remember, he said at least 3!

[Kid is cussing out Justin Roberts about there being another challenger. Then, the lights get low… STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM BY DRAKE BEGINS TO PLAY, AND SHINOBI MUSASHI RETURNS!]

Mathews: What?! We haven’t seen Shinobi since Show Your Allegiance!

Punk: He’s never been FFCW World Champion! You know he’d love to change that!

Punk: He fucking stole it.

Mathews: The Kid successfully defended against four challengers tonight whether you like the way he did it or not.

[Kid jumps on the announce table and takes Josh’s headset.]

Kid: THE GREATEST FFCW WORLD CHAMPION IN HISTORRRRRRRY! AH SHIT!

[Shinobi runs toward him and chases him up the entrance ramp.]

Part 2 of 3

Roberts: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been asked to read, in great detail, all of the stipulations for the following match. The following moves have been BANNED. The MacDown, the Rolling Thunder, and the Beer Blaster. Use of these moves will result in a disqualification and immediate termination.

Mathews: AM and RT’s finishers are banned?

Punk: I don’t think he’s done yet.

Roberts: Please welcome, guest commentator, PAUL HEYMAN!

Punk: Fuck.

Heyman: I cannot wait to see how great KJ and Holzhammer are going to be in this match. It is going to be true beauty to watch the masters at work.

Mathews: Hey man.

Roberts: And now, please welcome, special guest referee, David Otunga!

[ All About the Power plays, and David Otunga makes his way down to the ring wearing a referee shirt with the sleeves cut off and wrestling trunks.]

Punk: Why is Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband refereeing in his gear?

Heyman: He’s not Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband you ignoramus!

Punk: Was that the important detail?

Mathews: I’m getting a very bad feeling about this whole thing.

Roberts: The following contest is a tag team match! If KJ and Holzhammer win, KJ will become FFCW General Manager again!

Punk: What?!

Mathews: How did they agree to this?

Punk: They better have a plan.

[Immigrant Man plays, and KJ walks on stage. He looks proud as he comes down to the ring. He shakes hands with Paul and hops into the ring. He gives David Otunga a hug. Then, Carima Burana plays, and Holzhammer makes his way onto the stage. He enters the ring and shakes hands with KJ. Greatest Show from The Greatest Showman plays, and AM walks onto the stage. The crowd pops when Going Out in Style plays, and RT joins AM on the stage. They make their way down to the right ready to fight the odds.]

Punk: God I hope they don’t win.

Mathews: It would change the trajectory of FFCW forever.

Tag Team Match
*If KJ and Holzhammer win, KJ becomes General Manager again.*
KJ and Holzhammer versus The Real NoRTh AMericans [RT and AM]
KJ and AM start out the match. AM asks him if he really thinks he’s going to take his job. KJ slaps him. AM slaps him back. They exchange a series of strong strikes until AM Irish whips him hard into their corner. RT holds him in the corner while AM comes in with a Stinger Splash! Otunga calls for a break to get out of the corner, and AM tags RT. The former champion comes into the ring and begins to deliver a series of kicks to the midsection. He snapmares KJ out of the corner delivers a stiff kick to the back. He tags AM back in, but Otunga says he didn’t see it and pushes AM back. RT shrugs and hits KJ with a double axe handle. He scoop slams him in the corner and goes for a pin. Otunga moves over slowly to get into position. AM is yelling from the apron to hurry up. Otunga stops to tell AM not to tell him how to do his job. RT gets up, and KJ rolls him up. Otunga tries to count fast, but AM comes in to break the pin. Otunga threatens to disqualify him, so AM begrudgingly goes back to his corner. RT goes over and tags AM while KJ tags Holzhammer.

Heyman: I know you two don’t know this, but there is no one AM fears in the business more than Holzhammer.

Mathews: AM idolized Holzhammer when he was first getting started and would constantly try to get feedback from him about his matches. To my knowledge, they have never gone head to head.

Punk: I’ve faced some of my idols. I hope AM is in the right headspace.

Heyman: It won’t make a difference! He doesn’t stand a chance.

Holzhammer and AM lock eyes. They circle around the ring. AM runs at him. HEADBUTT. AM goes down fast. Holzhammer lets out a demonic laugh. He picks AM up by the throat. He laughs in his face before he slaps him. AM is clearly shaking in his knees, but he doesn’t go down. Holzhammer looks insulted by the fact that he’s still standing. He delivers a chop thrust to the throat, but AM doesn’t go down. He throws a few weak sloppy punches, and they agitate Holzhammer. He lifts him up with a double handed choke and drops him down to the mat. He mounts him and throws a series of punches. He chokes him down to the mat with his shoulders down. Otunga gets into position. 1.2.RT jumps in breaking the pin. Otunga gets in his face and pulls the ‘FFCW’ logo on his shirt. Holzhammer and KJ proceed to double team AM. RT tells Otunga to turn around, but he is not paying attention. Holzhammer lifts him up for a chokeslam, and they do a Chokeslam/Backstabber combo. KJ goes for the pin, and Otunga gets over to count. Holzhammer yells “Not yet!” KJ sends him off the ropes, and hits him with Idol Consequences! He’s got the Boston Crab locked in, and David Otunga asks if he should just call for the bell. RT jumps down to take the bell hammer away.

Heyman: He can’t do that! Someone stop him!

Mathews: It may not matter! I don’t think AM is going to quit!

Heyman: Of course he’s going to quit. It’s one of the most devastating moves in the game!

Punk: He won’t give up.

Holzhammer goes down to the floor to go after RT who blasts him in the head with the bell hammer! Holz appears somewhat shaky legged. RT starts hitting him with a series of chops and uppercuts. He then hip tosses him onto the announce table. Otunga then sticks his body out of the ring to threaten a disqualification. KJ breaks the crab in the ring to grab Otunga and yells at him for not paying attention to what is going on in the ring. AM gets up and dropkicks KJ into Otunga! RT meanwhile asks Justin Roberts nicely to get out of his chair and waits for Holzhammer to get up from being thrown into the announce table. Otunga pushes KJ out of the way to attack AM with a clothesline. KJ gets in Otunga’s face and is yelling at him. KJ shoves Otunga. The referee shoves him back and AM rolls him up. Otunga looks agitated, but he actually goes to make the count! 1...2...NO!

Heyman: What the hell is David thinking?!

Punk: Maybe he doesn’t like being their bitch?

AM rolls over as KJ gets up, pissed. He’s yelling at Otunga for counting. KJ punches Otunga in the face. He turns around to a chairshot from RT! The crowd pops. Holzhammer climbs onto the apron. Chairshot to the head! He throws AM the chair who hits KJ with it. He throws it back and RT throws it at KJ. Van Daminator! RT lifts him up...SPIKE PILEDRIVER ON THE CHAIR! AM turns toward the entrance way and calls for another referee. They hit KJ with stereo elbow drops. An official finally comes down to the ring. AM pins KJ. 1...2...Holzhammer pulls the official out of the ring. HEADBUTT! He climbs onto the apron. RT comes at him, but he gets caught in a goozle. Chokeslam! AM runs right into a big boot. Holzhammer stands in the center of the ring looking satisfied with himself.

Heyman: This is beautiful. The Devil Himself reigning supreme!

Punk: I may hate his guts, but Holzhammer is nearly unstoppable.

Mathews: One of the most legendary forces in the history of FFCW.

RT grabs him around the waist. Holz grabs him applying a claw hold on the head of RT when AM pulls himself up, shrugs, and hits him with a low blow! RT grabs the chair and waffles him with it. AM hits Holz with a spinning back kick. They each grab a side of him and take him down with High Times. They then go on both sides of him and apply arm bars. Holzhammer almost looks somewhat vulnerable. KJ gets in and drops an elbow on AM, but he shakes his head. He gets right in the face of KJ and slaps him. RT picks Holzhammer up. AM grabs KJ. Beer Blaster and MacDown at the same time!

Heyman: Call for the bell! Call for the bell! Those moves were banned!

Mathews: There’s no referee.

David Otunga is on his feet on the floor. AM and RT go for stereo pins. Otunga shrugs and slides in.

THE LIGHTS GO OUT!

The lights come back on. Otunga is gone, and there is a masked man with a lead pipe standing in the ring. RT feeds into a lead pipe shot, and AM does the same. The mysterious man takes off his mask…

IT’S NESS

Mathews: What?

Punk: What the hell? Why, Ness?

Heyman: It’s beautiful! I love it!

Holzhammer and KJ pin AM and RT. Ness drags the other official into the ring. He counts to three.
Winners, by pinfall, KJ and Holzhammer

Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen, at 11:59 tonight, KJ will once again become FFCW General Manager.

[Ness rips the microphone out of Roberts’ hand.]

Ness: My journey started with The Unlockable Character. I was trying to find Holzhammer, and I did it. Then, KJ took control of the game, and he manipulated my every move. Lately, I’ve been working on pissy little side missions when my ultimate mission has evaded me. I will join these men. I will follow these men. We will END the game. With these men at my side, it’s going to be GAME OVER!

Holzhammer: GAME OVER!

KJ: GAME OVER!

Mathews: We’ve never seen a side of Ness like this before.

Punk: We really haven’t.

Heyman: It’s going to be Game Over for FFCW. I love it.

Punk: Hey fuck off.

-------

Roberts: The following contest is a Lights Out, Loser Leaves FFCW, LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!

Heyman: Try to say that five times fast.

Mathews: Why are you still here?

[The crowd boos as Dead and Bloated by Stone Temple Pilots (Sorry, I wasn’t feeling the NIN song…) plays. CK comes through the curtain to a chorus of boos.]

Punk: They call Holzhammer the Devil Himself. This guy is also worthy of that title. What a piece of shit.

Mathews: Abducting pregnant women and handcuffing them to barbed wire fences to basically forcing his way back into the company.

Punk: Terrible person.

Heyman: I’m a big fan.

[The lights go out. Sink to the Beat by Cursive is playing…]

Lights Out
Loser Leaves FFCW
Last Man Standing Match
As soon as the lights come on PI is in the ring with the spike in his hand trying to drive it into the head of CK. The official looks shocked and there is nothing he can do. CK is trying to pull him off so PI starts punching him in the face with the spike in his hand. He then sticks the spike in CK’s mouth before dragging it out along the side of the mouth. The jagged spike is causing CK to bleed from the mouth already. He punches him some more before CK drops. He hits PI with a low blow, but it gets no sold. PI steps back and delivers a spinning back kick to the head of CK. He then steps back and delivers another spinning back kick! He then jumps to the floor and looks under the ring. He grabs a giant trash can and throws it into the ring. He grabs a stop sign and throws that in. He reaches in and pulls out a table. He slides in and dumps the full trash can on CK. There are staple guns, pipes, bats, and actual trash in the trash can among other unidentifiable things. He then throws the trash can at CK. He puts the upper half of his body in the trash can and begins to hit the can with the baseball bat!

Mathews: What the hell?!

Punk: CK hasn’t gotten any offense in since the match started.

Heyman: This guy should be committed.

Punk: They both should!

He keeps hitting the can with the bat until the official tells him to back up because he wants to count. 1...2...3...CK comes out of the can with blood coming from his forehead now as well as his mouth. PI comes over the pick him, and CK has a cheese grater! He starts to grind at the mask damaging the material, but when he doesn’t get the desired result he goes for the throat. PI elbows him in the head several times before knocking the grater out of his hand. PI grabs him and delivers a piledriver on the stop sign. The official wants to start counting again. 1...2...3...4...5...PI throws himself at CK. He picks up a bag. He dumps it out, and of course...Thumb tacks. He delivers a standing Shooting Star Press onto CK and the thumb tacks. He grabs CK by the bloody hair and pounds his head into the mat. CK begins to laugh which startles PI.

Punk: What the fuck.

Mathews: CK is one deranged guy.

Heyman: I don’t see this thing ending until one of them needs to be taken out on a stretcher.

Mathews: That’s for sure. I hope this referee is getting hazard pay for this one.

Heyman: We may need hazard pay before this thing is over!

CK picks up a baseball bat and makes his way toward PI. He lifts the bat high over his head and swings, but PI evades it. He lifts it up over his head again and comes down, but PI rolls out of the ring. PI starts to lift up the table outside the ring, but CK does a suicide dive into PI and the table on the floor. The table breaks a little, but he drives his knee through it to completely break it. He then takes the splintered side of the table and drives it into PI’s chest. He does this a few times before picking PI up and throwing him into the guard rail. He then starts jaw jacking with a fan in a PI t-shirt. He rips the fans shirt, and the fan takes a swing at him. A security guard immediately gets between CK and the fan, but CK pulls the guard over the barricade. He punches him a few times before he starts reaching around his utility belt. PI comes toward CK, but he is hit with a nightstick. CK keeps going through the different parts of the belt before grabbing mace. He sprays it into PI’s eyes. PI grabs onto the fan’s shirt to try and wipe his eyes. CK then throws the security guard onto the announce table.

CK: He doesn’t even have handcuffs!

Mathews: What are you looking for?!

CK: This will have to do.

He pulls the security guard’s belt off and goes back toward PI. CRACK! He whips him with the belt. PI is running away to avoid the belt. CK follows him. PI jumps over the barricade to evade him. CK takes the fan's chair and throws it at PI sending him down. He rushes over there to start whipping him repeatedly. He then wraps the belt around the neck of PI and chokes him with it. PI tries to escape as CK keeps wrenching. Finally, he grabs PI by the mask and smashes his head into the floor. He throws his arms up to the people around him who boo. The official begins to count.

CK picks up a speaker and throws it at PI. The sound guy is freaking out when CK grabs him by the collar. He checks his pockets and pulls out a pair of scissors. He runs at PI with the scissors, but PI drop toe holds him into a trash can! The scissors are stuck in the side of the plastic trash can. PI picks CK up and throws him into a door. They are in an empty trainer’s room. PI grabs the hazardous waste bin off the wall and hits CK in the head with it. He then proceeds to break it open and dump the contents on the floor including a bunch of needles. He grabs CK and powerbombs him onto the hazardous waste!

Heyman: I’m gonna throw up.

Mathews: This is inhumane.

Punk: I get lights out. I get a liability waiver, but this is conduct that should result in arrest.

Heyman: Exactly. It’s criminal.

The official pushes PI out of the way as he begins to count.

CK pulls himself up. PI lunges at him, but he throws him into a cabinet. He proceeds to pull down the contents of the cabinet on PI including bashing him in the head with a glass jar of tongue depressors. He grabs a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and dumps it on the wounds of PI who screams in pain. He throws him into the closed door of the office before opening it and throwing him out. They fight back the way they came, and CK grabs PI and scoop slams him on the stairs to the upper deck.

Mathews: What does it say about this match that a scoop slam on the stairs seems fairly humane?

Punk: Whatever it takes to end this thing.

CK drags him up the stairs. He throws him against the railing and hits him with a series of chops. He continues to drag him up the stairs pulling him by the mask. The mask starts to tear, and PI forearms him in the side. He then begins to throw a series of punches to the body. He grabs CK by the hair and drags him further up the stairs. He throws him through the doorway. They are fighting out by the concession stand. PI dumps him onto the concession stand and jumps behind looking for something to hit him with. He takes the grease pan from the grill and dumps it on the chest of CK. He rolls off the counter holding his chest in pain. PI jumps up on the counter and does a 630 off the counter onto CK and the cement floor. Both men are down!

They both jump up! CK grabs PI by the mask and sends him through a glass door.

Mathews: That’s the balcony terrace that overlooks the parking lot.

Punk: I believe that’s the location of the after party tonight.

They are fighting on the terrace where there are lots of tables with snacks and drinks. CK grabs PI and drags him across the table covered with two liters of soda. He takes a two liter of Diet Pepsi and douses himself with it. He uses the table cloth to wipe some of the grease off of his chest. PI then grabs CK and drags him across the pop up bar before dumping him onto the cement. He then begins to throw glass bottles of alcohol at him, and they’re shattering around him. CK rolls out of the way and gets to his feet. He suplexes PI into the broken glass. He then takes a bottle of vodka and dumps it out all over PI. He then fixates on a tiki torch which is lit on the other side of the balcony. He dumps the food table and uses the table cloth to wipe as much alcohol as he can off of himself. He grabs the tiki torch, and PI sees the flame coming toward him as he’s covered in vodka. PI runs away toward the lower end of the balcony. CK follows him, and PI goes to the edge which looks over the parking lot as well as a dumpster. He climbs on top of the ledge, but CK follows him and moves toward him. He tightrope steps away from the man coming toward him with the torch...PI JUMPS OFF THE BALCONY INTO THE DUMPSTER! The official looks mortified as he sees PI motionless in the dumpster. 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.
Winner, the Last Man Standing, CK

CK: Now that’s television! That was for television!

[Dead and Bloated plays as CK takes the torch and THROWS IT INTO THE DUMPSTER!]

Mathews: GOOD GOD!

Punk: WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH HIM?

Heyman: That was too far.
