A dotty, old reel of film shows images of FWA in its beginnings, the footage playing a montage of moments showing Glory Braddock holding the World title above her head, the original members of Apocalypse standing together, Michael Kyzer is then shown claiming his first championship and becoming the first ever Atlantic Champion, Kirsta Lewis and Jackie Daniels are then seen beating Angelica Jones in the ring and claiming the tag team championships.
“The Old Guard, once so strong, so dominant, are gone…”
Marie Williams and Brittany Lohan celebrate winning the tag team championships at PRIDE and standing tall over a divided Jackie Daniels and Kirsta Lewis, however the shots of there success are suddenly stopped and the paused image of there title reign is merged with the successful shots of celebration of Glory Braddock and also Michael Kyzer when suddenly, a flicker of a flame appears in the corner, within seconds, the pictures are engulfed in flames and the images are melted away by the heat of the growing fire.
“Times have changed in the FWA and the tides are continuing to move…”
Suddenly the burning room fades to black and the present day images appear as if live, yet the scene is quickly that of Dedication, Jackson Adams has the pin and the bell sounds, to the shock and bemusement of the world, Jackson Adams and Tommy Dewitt have done it, both of them clutching the tag team championships as if surprised themselves, both of them celebrating like mad. The shot then quickly changes to Eli Legacy beating Michael Kyzer, a sly grin runs up his face as he glares out across the fans and just as he promised, he stands above the pain ridden body of Michael, the title held in hand.
“A new era is beginning to take shape…”
Jacob Laymon and Glory Braddock are seen standing across the ring from one another as the dramatic music begins to play before highlights of the match are shown in quick motion, some of the moves being shown three of four times from different angles, back and forth the match goes, with both of them fighting to achieve everything they can however Jacob finally has it finished and with the fans glad to see Glory’s reign over, Jacob stands proudly in the ring as the winner, however the music suddenly changes as the lights go out and Dante arrives back in the FWA, he beats Laymon down, busting him open as Glory runs away with the World title in her hands.
“…A new era that is being aggressively challenged”
Dante is seeing roaring to the fans who cheer him on as the images turn to the rumble, showing member after member fly out of the ring to the outside, with many of the high moments being replayed as the sounds of “Iron” by Woodkid begin to sound out. It shows the ‘rat pack’ off Eli, Doctor Ian, Greg Venom and Tommy Dewitt taking control of matters, but then the images and the music stop as Lethal Weapon’s music hits!! Weapon is seen coming to the ring and eliminating members before battling back and forth with anyone who comes across his path, often Eli Legacy, however, with Tommy Dewitt being eliminated, it comes down to Kirsta and Lethal Weapon, they are on the apron and Eli charges them, but they both pull the ropes down to see Eli eliminated, with them battling back into the ring, they then viciously go back and forth with one another, before a big clothesline takes them both to the outside of the ring!!! Weapon and Kirsta Lewis win the Rumble!!!
“Times are changing and tonight… The carnage, shall follow!”
Carnage 10
Live from Chicago, Illinois!!
Kiss it goodbye by Nickleback suddenly rages out of the speakers as the fans cheer wildly, screams coming from all around the audience who have patiently waited for the show to begin, fireworks then explode from the staging and fire off in different directions, exploding to the delight of the fans into beautiful colours and screeching like banshees. The big screen is showing a 3D image of the Carnage sign as the cameras look up at the set from ringside, before the shot then swings around the fans, many of them holding placards. However, before anything else can be said, the bell rings and this show is instantly underway.
****************************************************************************
Jackie Daniels Vs Marissa Stamm
Walters:
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to FWA Carnage, we are here for the fall-out from Dedication of which we expect there to be a lot, I am joined out here, not by Eddie Vines who won a contract to go back into the wrestling business, but by Gareth Sorenson, the former voice of Sweden’s version of the hit show, Gladiators.
Sorenson:
Thank you Jerry and I’m looking forward to tonight, first night on the job and I hope I don’t let anyone down.
Walters:
Not at all, it’s actually nice to have someone agreeable to work with for once!
Sorenson:
Glad to hear it.
"She Dominates" comes over the speakers as the lights go out, flashbulbs going off as Marissa makes her way to the ring with a sly grin across her face, she walks down the ramp ignoring the fans either side of her and then slides under the ropes before quickly nipping up to her feet, she then runs to the far corner and leaps to the middle rope before glaring over the fans who just look back at her, excited to see what the new name on the FWA roster sheet can bring to the table.
Walters:
Marissa Stamm’s debut on Carnage tonight, she played a role in the Dedication Rumble but wasn’t able to win it and along with Wrath, she’s very much apart of the new breed of wrestler that’s come into this federation in recent times Gareth.
Sorenson:
She’s a tough cookie, I do my homework on these guys and she is someone who likes hardcore wrestling, she can take some punishment but she can give it as well.
Walters:
Yet, she remains a beautiful young girl with a career in acting as well as in this federation, so she’s got a lot going for her.
Sorenson:
Not the type of girl you’d imagine would be happy taking a chair to the face!
Walters:
Definitely not!
“Fire It up” By Black Label Society suddenly explodes from the speakers causing the fans to cheer loudly, Jackie Daniels then steps out and just nods her appreciation to the fans, she then turns to the ring and just glares at Marissa, no doubt, the words shared between the two of them during the mid-week beginning to run through her mind, however she shakes it off and just runs down the ramp before rolling under the ropes and getting back to her feet quickly, she stands in the middle of the ring and just glares at Marissa as the fans continue to show her some support.
Walters:
Jackie Daniels with a little more experience here, but not so much in solo competition, so this is going to be a great opportunity for both of these women to make a real name for themselves in the early goings of this event.
Sorenson:
I have to ask a question first, because I happen to know that Jackie struggled to get to Chicago tonight, I don’t know the reasons, but I do know that she got here later than anyone else and really struggled to commute to Chicago.
Walters:
Wow, you really do, do your homework.
Sorenson:
I do, but I just wonder if that lack of preparation or time could be a disadvantage to her tonight?
The fans lightly begin to chant “Let’s go Jackie” over and over again as the two ladies circle the ring to the sound of the bell, both of them are instantly talking trash to one another, but then physically lock up heavy with the collar-elbow, but Marissa quickly breaks it with a knee to the stomach of Jackie, she then grabs her wrist and twists the arm, locking in the wrist lock, however Jackie rolls into a forward roll, then twists herself back into her own arm before suddenly standing and countering the hold herself, locking in a wrist lock on Marissa instead and tugging on the arm taking Marissa down to the mat on her back, however Marissa quickly nips back up to her feet instantly, turns into Jackie and slaps her arms away breaking the hold before hooking both her hands around the neck of Jackie and dropping back for a monkey flip, however Jackie lands right onto her feet and staggers, Marissa is up now as well, Jackie charges her, but Marissa sidesteps her and slaps her legs from under her before going for the quick pin,
1…
No, Jackie kicks her off, quickly Marissa is back up at Jackie gets to all fours and charges in, but Jackie moves out the way of a punt, and swipes the legs of Marissa away this time before going for a pin of her own,
1…
No, Marissa kicks out this time, quickly both women get back to there feet and leap into the air at the same time going for a dropkick but miss one another landing on the mat and quickly rolling away from one another to the applause and cheers from the fans all around, all of them impressed by what they just saw.
Walters:
Wow, this is fast paced stuff.
Both women just stare at one another, clearly trying to work one another out, however Jackie just smiles and looks around at the fans, breaking her gaze with Marissa before slowly the two of them circle the ring again, both of them remaining cautious. They edge closer to one another gradually, this time extending there arms to link fingers in a Greco roman knuckle lock, however as they do, Jackie gains instant dominance, placing her leg behind Marissa, tripping her backwards, however Marissa manages to keep her shoulders off the mat, standing on tip tops and leaning on the top of her head, bridging her body off the mat.
Jackie just leaps up into the air, keeping Marissa pinned but aiming to come down on her stomach knees first, however as she leaps Marissa, places her feet gently into the waistline of Jackie forcing her to land on her feet as Marissa uses the momentum to roll back up to her feet and in the same movement, she then leaps into the air and wraps her legs around the head of Jackie before throwing her with a beautiful hurricanrana! Jackie grabs her head but stands right back up, angrily she charges Marissa, but Stamm sidesteps her and pushes her in the back toward the ropes, but Jackie leaps onto the middle rope and then springs back at Marissa with a spinning kick, but Stamm ducks it just in time and turns to see Daniels has landed on her feet as well, she charges in after her, but Jackie drops back and hooks her arm, throwing her with a nice arm drag!
Marissa stands up this time as Jackie waits for her, Stamm turns and just runs at Jackie but Daniels ducks low and lifts Marissa high with a back body drop which is meant to take her over the ropes, but Stamm just lifts high into the air as Jackie stands and then lands perfectly back across her shoulders legs first, she grabs the top rope to get her balance and then with some momentum, lets go with a spinning Hurricanrana that has Jackie Daniels dazed!!
Sorenson:
Brilliant counter, worked well to keep some momentum here.
Walters:
She certainly did and Jackie is rocked right now.
Jackie quickly stands back up and tries to shake it off, she turns to Marissa who is up on her feet also, she runs at her, but Marissa suddenly leaps at her, hooking her arm as if going for an arm drag, but uses her momentum to spin around the body of her opponent before grabbing her other arm and using that to hit an arm drag instead, the move so full of momentum that Jackie just hits the mat and rolls under the ropes to the outside of the ring! Marissa is instantly back up and runs to the ropes where Jackie is standing with the use of the crowd barrier, she grabs the top rope and leaps over them, but Jackie see’s it and slides into the ring just as she does it, Marissa quickly grabs the rope and manages to land on the apron, stopping her own momentum, but Jackie is one step ahead of her now and runs at the corner as her feet touch the apron mat, she leaps off the middle turnbuckle and comes back with a stiff dropkick that knocks Marissa down causing her to hit the apron and roll onto the mats on the outside of the ring as the fans begin chanting “this is awesome” over and over to this fast paced match up.
Jackie just runs at the far ropes and sprints back across the ring, but Marissa see’s her and leaps back up onto the apron, Jackie adapts and goes for the baseball slide at Stamm’s feet, but she leaps up over the attempt causing Jackie to slide to the outside of the ring as she lands inside it, however Marissa isn’t waiting up either and runs into the far ropes herself, she then leaps as she see’s Jackie turn to her right over the ropes into a HUGE corkscrew plancha!!!
Walters:
WOW! Massive move by Marissa Stamm!
Sorenson:
Both of these ladies can pull that out of their locker if they need to, great move by Marissa.
Marissa just grins as she sits up on the outside of the ring, she glares over at Jackie Daniels and then rolls to her feet, the fans are actually giving her some stick, but Marissa just shrugs it off and showing total arrogance, just grabs Jackie, lifting her to her feet before she rolls her in the ring. She rolls in after her and waits as Jackie begins to slowly stand, she holds her neck and shoulder in some pain before turning to Marissa, who hits a nice spinning heel kick right to the gut of Daniels who grabs her stomach instantly, Marissa then runs past Jackie into the ropes, but Daniels shakes off the pain and turns into Marissa as she comes back hitting a nice hip toss that has Stamm in a seated position, in the same movement, Jackie forward rolls in front of her and then as she’s standing, leaps into a nice dropkick just under the jaw of Marissa knocking her back down!
Jackie cleverly goes for a rare pinfall in this match,
1…
2…
Marissa kicks out.
Jackie seems to have Marissa dazed from that shot and lifts her to her feet before pushing her back into the ropes, she then sends her across the ring, Stamm hits the ropes and comes back, but Jackie just grabs her around the hips with both hands and ruggishly just throws Marissa high in the air, well over 8ft before Stamm comes back down landing chest and stomach first on the mat causing her to instantly roll to her side kicking her legs as the oxygen from her body explodes out of her lungs!
Sorenson:
Holy shit! Marissa just had some serious airtime!!
Walters:
She did indeed and this might be the way back into this match that Jackie Daniels needed.
Again, Jackie drops down for the cover,
1…
2…
Marissa kicks out again.
Jackie just grabs Marissa and lifts her up again before going for a back drop, but Marissa rolls through it and lands on her feet behind Jackie, however she is dizzy and stumbles back into the corner of the ring, Jackie turns and just runs at Stamm, but Marissa quickly lifts her foot with a slapping sound into the jaw of Jackie knocking her back toward the middle of the ring, Marissa then runs at Jackie as she turns to face her and just dips her head low, rolling her body up Jackie’s and up onto her shoulders, but Jackie suddenly hooks both of her arms and locks Marissa’s feet into her hips before suddenly bending forward slightly, pulling the arms and feet apart from one another, tugging on numerous parts of Marissa’s body causing Stamm to suddenly yell in pain at the submission counter as the fans applaud loudly, expecting this to be the end of the match.
Walters:
Brilliant counter, such a clever move by Jackie Daniels!!
Jackie just continues to tug on the arms and legs of Stamm causing her to shake her head wildly at the referee who is demanding an answer as to whether she gives up or she can stand it, but Marissa just continues to shake her head and shouts “no” repeatedly, she tenses her arms and tries everything to escape the move, using brute force to try and pull her arms through and momentarily it works, breaking the grip of Jackie allowing Marissa to pull her arm through which in turns breaks the hold entirely, she drops to the mat and with the arms that are still linked, she just throws Jackie aside with an arm drag, but Daniels seems to no sell it and rises right back to her feet and walks at Marissa, she see’s this and throws a boot at Daniels, but Jackie catches it and spins her around 360 degrees before suddenly slapping a terrifying chop across the chest of Marissa that has the fans cringing at the impact, she then turns and runs into the ropes before coming back with a roar and a clothesline, but no, Marissa does the splits to avoid it in the middle of the ring, she then stands and as Jackie faces her, goes for a vicious looking spin kick, but Jackie ducks it, she then anticipates Marissa going for a second kick in quick succession and ducks it again, she then stands but is caught by an impressive third spin kick to the jaw that knocks her to the mat like a sack of bricks!!
Marissa covers,
1…
2…
NO! Jackie kicks out, but instantly grabs her jaw in pain.
Both women seem to just lay on the mat for a moment however Marissa has had enough and rolls out of the ring onto the apron, she stands up and grabs the top rope awaiting Jackie to stand, when she does, she leaps up onto the top rope and then flies off going for a clothesline, but Jackie steps into it and grabs Marissa in mid-air bringing her down so her feet touch the mat before dropping her into a backbreaker only to lift her in the same movement and drop her forward with a reverse STO causing Marissa to land face first on the mat, Jackie then goes for the cover,
1…
2…
NO! Marissa kicks out this time as the fans continue to cheer and applaud this brilliant match between two of FWA’s newest, youngest talents.
Sorenson:
This has been such a 50/50 match, its rare to see two competitors so evenly matched.
Walters:
I totally agree, this has been a top bout, but it looks as if Jackie is ready to finish it now.
Jackie just stands to her feet and lifts a finger to the fans signalling for the end of the match, she turns back to Marissa who stands in a daze, as Stamm turns, she slams a hard boot into her stomach and grabs her head, ANGELS SUICIDE, She turns her body to go for the twist of fate, but Marissa suddenly pulls away, drops to the mat and grabs her from the groin rolling her backwards, the fans are instantly booing loudly as the referee slides down,
1…
WAIT, Marissa has her feet on the ropes and her hand grabbing Jackie’s tights,
2…
3…
NO! The referee hasn’t seen Marissa cheat, but she HAS won this match, the fans are going mental with boos, angered to see such a good match tainted by such a cheap win, but Marissa doesn’t care, she grabs her jaw in pain, but rolls right out of the ring as Jackie Daniels sits up in it, totally confused, angrily pleading with the official to reverse his decision, telling him that Marissa used the ropes, but the official is refusing, she then turns to Marissa who is instantly talking herself up to the fans, to Jackie and to anyone who will listen, her face smug and cocky as ever.
Walters:
Marissa stole this one, she couldn’t have cheated much more then she did.
Sorenson:
A win’s a win and I can’t say I’m totally against her for that, she got the job done.
Walters:
But by cheating?
Sorenson:
It’s only cheating if you get caught Jerry!
*****************************************************************************
The cameras go backstage to the quiet scene of Brittany Lohan sitting in her dressing room, she sits staring at the ground, not even in her ring attire yet, she isn’t saying a word and her eyes haven’t moved from the same place since the scene begun, Marie Williams quietly walks in and just glares at her with confusion, she walks across to her and sits in the chair opposite.
Marie:
Is everything ok? You don’t seem your normal self?
Brittany doesn’t budge and remains silent for a moment longer, her mind deep in thought.
Brittany:
‘My normal self’? what is that exactly?
Marie seems a little dumbfounded by the question, but shrugs it off.
Marie:
Look, if this is about the absolution of apocalypse, forget it, we never needed Glory Braddock anyway, Memento Mori are still together aren’t we! So we’ll get our tag titles back and get back to winning ways, right?
Brittany just glares up at Marie for a moment, staring her in the eyes, a stare that makes even Marie feel a little uncomfortable.
Brittany:
I’m not sure for how long…
Marie:
What!?!
Brittany:
Jackson was right about me, I’m not a monster anymore, I’m not the woman I was when I came into this company, into this business, something more ‘human’ has begun to come into my mind, whether its about your mother, about you, or just about my opponent. I would crush people in the past and now I offer them mercy… I have changed Marie.
Marie:
What are you saying?
Brittany:
I’m saying I need time… Time to think, time to consider what’s happening to me… I need time.
Brittany just stands from her seat and without hesitation walks out of the dressing room causing Marie to look on in total shock, her face dropping at the prospect of Brittany going, she suddenly glances a gaze at the ground herself before angrily looking up and around the dressing room.
Marie:
What the fuck is going on around here!?!
The cameras focus on Marie as she just shakes her head in confusion, her mind clearly distracted by what’s happening to the group she was once apart of.
******************************************************************************
Walters:
Something about that seemed rather ominous, what could Brittany be thinking of doing?
Sorenson:
I don’t know, but if she doesn’t clear her mind for whats coming up soon, then Jackson Adams could be beating her again, remember, they have to face off tonight and if Brittany is distracted against a man like Adams, it’s going to be a short match.
Walters:
I totally agree, but I also agree with Marie, what the hell is going on!?! Apocalypse were once the dominate force in this federation and now they are literally no more!
Sorenson:
Every empire eventually crumbles Jerry!
Suddenly “Countdown to Extinction” By Megadeath suddenly plays and the fans stand, the atmosphere instantly cranks up as Jacob Laymon quickly walks out from the back, the marks from what Dante did to him still showing, but not on his expression as he smugly stands on the stage looking down at the fans and grinning from ear to ear, his eyes sparkling under the stage lights with pride as he walks out for the first time as World Heavyweight Champion of the FWA. With a slow pace, he walks down the ramp, listening to the fans either side of him, but taking delight in the angry, horrible reactions he is getting, he finally reaches the ring and then walks around to the steps, remaining totally casual in everything he is doing.
He walks across the apron and then enters the ring, he is handed a microphone and then stands in the middle of the ring silently, waiting for both the fans and his music to come to an end, safe to say, his music is the first to do so as the fans continue to remain loud, chanting over and over “You’re an asshole”, Jacob just smiles and nods in agreement with the fans before slowly lifting the microphone to his mouth causing the fans to come to a dim hush.
Jacob:
Funny that I come out and get this reaction, because only two weeks ago, I seem to remember some of you people cheering me for taking Glory Braddock off her perch, AT LAST! But incase some of you have forgotten what I’m talking about or maybe you just live under a rock and missed the pay per view, let me explain. At Dedication, I did what I said I was going to do, I walked out to this ring against the longest reigning champion in this companies history and I beat her fair and square, even when she sent out Apocalypse to get the job done, even when she sent out Trinity or whatever they are called in MCW to get the job done, I STILL beat her in the middle of the ring to become the NEW World Heavyweight Champion of this company.
Jacob grins from ear to ear, proud of his accomplishment, however he stops pacing the ring for a second and glances at his shoulder then back at the fans surrounding him, his smile not fading.
Jacob:
Ah, but of course, If I’m the World Champion, where would my World Championship belt be? Well for those under the rock, again, let me explain, it seems Glory, in her moment of shock ran off with said title belt and as such I now only have the title, less the belt, but that suits me, I’m happy for that to be the case and I couldn’t give one flying shit for that tin can, I much prefer the fact that when I walk the halls now, they all know what I am, the stage hands, the roster, the management, I am the leader of this company, the champion of champions.
Boo’s ring out around the arena as Jacob just paces the ring again, his smile slowly fading as he stops and looks up the ramp silently, he then lifts the microphone.
Jacob:
But one thing didn’t go to plan, on a night when Apocalypse was dismantled and a change of era was instilled, one over the hill gimmick refused to die and that gimmick, is Dante. I burned the son of a bitch to a god damn cross and still he comes back to taunt me, to ruin my moment and I have to be honest, I’m not happy about it and sure, I’m only human, seeing the big man chasing you around the world is a little unnerving, but as of right now, that intimidation he might have had over me, that fear factor… It’s gone, because Dante, I know you’re backstage, I know you’re here, so big man, instead of sneaking up on me, instead of cowardly attacking me after a match, I’m asking you, NO, I’m TELLING YOU, get your ass to this ring… NOW!
The fans cheer loudly from every corner of the arena as Jacob just steps back toward the far side of the ring, his eyes glancing everywhere incase Dante tries to attack him from behind again, however he doesn’t have to wait long as suddenly the lights go out and the fans get even louder, a few lights and camera flashes being the only light in the entire arena.
Suddenly with a blast that shakes the arena, flames explode from the stage and down the ramp as Dante’s music hits the speakers causing the fans to grow in excitement even more, the big man walks out from behind the curtain and just steps onto the staging, he looks demonic as ever and just stands at the top of the ramp, his eyes focused evilly on Jacob Laymon who glares back at him, not budging from his place in the ring, his expression one of anger now, not one of a man in shock, however Dante just walks down the ramp, ignoring the fans either side of him, his focus on one man. He reaches the ring and grabs the top rope before pulling himself up onto the apron, he then stands there glaring back and forth at Jacob again as the red spotlights from the roof circle around the ring, Jacob still doesn’t budge, but also doesn’t look as defiant as he did before, nonetheless, Dante steps over the ropes and gets into the ring before eyeballing Jacob, the two men face to face, glaring at one another in a moment that has been longed for, for a long time now, slowly Dante’s music comes to an end and the red spotlights gently return to normal as the fans continue to be loud and proud, all of them expecting the big man to finally speak. Jacob just shuffles for a moment but refuses to budge from where he stands, he glares Dante down and then slowly lifts the microphone to his mouth.
Jacob:
So you actually found the bullocks to step into the ring with me face to-
Dante suddenly slaps his hand around the throat of Jacob, not caring for anything he has to say as he does, Jacob drops the Microphone and looks shocked at the sudden attack, Dante however just glares at Jacob as the fans go nuts, however not for long as the boo’s explode, Rayne Young sprints down the ramp and slides in the ring, chair in hand, with a great WHACK he slams the chair across the back of Dante and again and again, Dante suddenly roars and turns to face him, but Rayne hits a vicious blow to the head of Dante knocking the big man down to the mat.
Boo’s are exploding from every part of the arena as Rayne and Jacob work together, booting on Dante and angrily beating him down not letting the monster have a moments rest, Rayne then asks Jacob to step back, as he does, Rayne slams the chair down across the chest and stomach of Dante over and over and over again, suddenly “Passive” hits the speakers and the cheers explode through the arena again, as another monster suddenly steps out, Priest pushes the curtains aside and storms down the ramp, he grabs the top rope and climbs over it into the ring, before charging Rayne and Jacob with a double clothesline, but both men duck it and quickly leave the ring.
Walters:
Laymon and Young just gave Dante some measure of payback, but not as much as they wanted, Priest is the man to come to his rescue!
Sorenson:
Priest made it clear that he didn’t like what Jacob done to Dante in MCW and has had his own issues with Rayne in recent times so it’s no real surprise that he came out here, but would you want to face the team of Priest and Dante?
Walters:
Not a hope!
Priest just glares at Rayne and Jacob heading up the ramp and then turns to Dante who is up to one knee, who hooks his arm trying to help him to his feet, but suddenly Dante stands and slaps his hand around the throat of Priest, CHOKESLAM, A HUGE, HUGE CHOKESLAM ON PRIEST!!! The fans are in shock, the commentary team are in shock, even Rayne and Jacob are in shock, but Dante just angrily glares down on Priest before looking up the ramp at Jacob and Rayne, he then walks to the ropes and points his finger, not at Jacob Laymon, but at Rayne Young and slowly tears it across his throat as the fans continue to sound astounded at everything happening.
*******************************************************************************
Kyzer is seen backstage to cheers from the fans, many of whom are still trying to get to grips with what just happened, he leaves Riley Addison’s office and just looks very pleased, he is stopped by part time wrestler William Windsor who is attired from his match in the warm up show.
Windsor:
What the hell are you so happy about? Didn’t you just lose your title?
Michael Kyzer grins from ear to ear and nods in agreement before lifting a piece of paper in his hand.
Kyzer:
I did, but now, I have been given the opportunity to get it back, one on one with Eli Legacy! I’m cleared to compete for the show in two weeks!
William seems a little lost for words, however suddenly a masked attacker charges in to the back of Kyzer knocking him to the ground, Windsor instinctively throws a right hand of his own, but the masked athlete blocks it and just slams a headbutt right into the bridge of his nose knocking him backwards with a stumble before he falls on his backside.
Kyzer gets to all fours, but as he does, the masked athlete slams a boot into his ribs with a slap causing the fans to cringe at the impact, it then leans down and grabs Michael Kyzer by the hair, painfully lifting him up to his feet, Kyzer is met with a knee to the stomach before being lifted straight into a devastating spinebuster right through a drinks table, his head crashing with force into the marbled floor underneath. Kyzer is totally out of it and Windsor just looks on as the masked attacker stands and glares at him, however it just shakes it’s head before walking off leaving William to glare at the devastation in front of him, the body of Michael Kyzer, blood running from his head.
****************************************************************************
Jackie Daniels is seen pacing backstage, she is waiting around the management offices and just looks angry and impatient, however Tom Hammond comes into the shot, he looks around at where she is with some confusion and then turns to her.
Hammond:
Jackie… What are you doing here?
Jackie:
What do you think I’m doing here?
Hammond:
Erm… I don’t know, but nobody ever comes here, the floors are actually carpeted, we only ever film with hard, dangerous looking floors!
Jackie:
What?
Hammond:
I was just referencing about the flo-
Jackie:
Shut the fuck up about Floors! What do you want? Apart from annoying me?
Hammond:
Just what I originally asked, out of curiosity, I wondered what you were doing in the management quarter?
Jackie sighs and rolls her eyes at the geek that is Tom Hammond, the reporter still glaring at the carpets as if they were gold.
Jackie:
I’m here because what happened at the opening of tonights show was a travesty!
Hammond:
What? The fireworks? They were ok, I thought!
Jackie:
No you dumb fuck, I meant the result of my match, Marissa clearly cheated to win, she got a false victory over me and I’m here to do something about it.
Hammond:
Oh, well shouldn’t you speak to Riley Addison?
Jackie:
Riley’s busy, so I’ve come direct to the bookers office, thus why I’m here.
Hammond seems to piece the puzzle together now himself and just smiles with pride.
Jackie:
Anything else?
Hammond:
Actually, yeah, what are you asking them to book?
Jackie grins from ear to ear and just shuffles around for a moment as if unable to contain her excitement.
Jackie:
Marissa told me she was hardcore, she thought she could do the most sickening of things and that somehow that actress bitch might be able to top me, well Hammond, at Carnage in two weeks, I’m going to show her the difference between a wrestler and an actress, because it’s going to be me Vs Marissa in a tables match!!
Hammond:
A tables match? I was expecting something really gruesome!!
Jackie:
This is for starters Tom, because once I’ve put her through the table, well, then we get to real messy business, trust me, this is going to be her warning shot, but if she keeps talking trash about me, then I’m going to purposely mess up that pretty little actress face of hers!
Jackie just turns as a man opens his office door, with a wink and a smile she walks in and the door closes behind her, Hammond just looks shocked by her words, but then glares back down at the carpet, his expression clearly amazed by the quality of the fabric.
******************************************************************************
Walters:
We knew the issues between Marissa and Jackie were going to continue and that pretty much confirms it.
Sorenson:
Yes it does, but it also means that things are going to take an ugly turn for the worse, did you hear her threat? Tables are only the beginning!
Jackson Adams Vs Brittany Lohan
The ringside area grows Semi dim as the FWA-Tron illuminates. Flashes of a man can be seen doing different wrestling manoeuvres to various wrestlers. The words Jackson Adams flicker on the screen as we hear You're Going Down by Sick Puppies start to play over the P.A. System. The white lights start to flicker just as wildly as the fans cheer.
"Define your meaning of war
To me it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more
Because I'm hyped up, outta control
If it's a fight I'm ready to go
I wouldn't put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know"
Jackson Adams steps through the entrance, and onto the stage right at the top of the ramp. The lights start to flicker even more wildly. He is wearing a hooded jacket with the hood covering his eyes; he walks slowly to the top of the ramp.
It's been a long time coming
And the tables' turned around
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
I'm not running, it's a little different now
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
He stops for a moment, looks up then quickly jerks down the hood with an arrogant skip, as pyrotechnics shoot up behind him causing a white flash.
Define your meaning of fun
To me it's when we're getting done
I feel the heat coming off of the blacktop
So get ready for another one
Let's take a trip down memory lane
The words circulate in my brain
You can treat this like another all the same
But don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain
As the Pyros fade we can see the arrogance and readiness in Jackson's eyes as he starts to head towards the ring.
It's been a long time coming
And the tables' turned around
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
I'm not running, it's a little different now
Cause one of us is going
One of us is goin' down
Jackson cockily strides down to the ring flashing smarmy grins to the crowd as they cheer wildly.
This is hardly worth fighting for
But it's the little petty shit that I can't ignore
With my fist in your face and your face on the floor
It'll be a long time coming
But you got the message now
Cause I was never going
Yeah, you're the one that's going down
He hops up on the apron then wipes his feet on it before he steps into the ring.
One of us is goin' down
I'm not running,
it's a little different now
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down
One of us is goin' down
The song starts to fade and the lights turn to normal as Jackson does an arrogant hop across the ring taking off his jacket and tossing it to the floor before handing his title to the official carefully, he then turns and waits patiently for the entrance of his opponent, Brittany Lohan.
Walters:
Earlier on, Brittany had some real issues in her head, so I am interested to see how she approaches this match tonight.
Sorenson:
Brittany needs to get her head in the game, right now, Jackson is in her mind, convincing her of certain things and that can’t be good for her focus.
“Warrior” by Disturbed then hits and the cheers suddenly turn to boo’s, Jackson just waits patiently for her to enter, but as the curtains are pulled aside, confusion reigns over the audience as Brittany steps out from the ring in normal clothing, not even ready to compete, she has a microphone in hand and just waits for her music to come to silence before speaking. Jackson, like many others stands confused, glaring up at his opponent, wondering what she is up to.
Brittany:
Jackson Adams, lets face facts, we are not the best of friends and we don’t partiucarly like one another, never have, never really will, but in the build up to Dedication, you said something that struck me, you said something that made a whole lot of sense to me, you said, that the Brittany Lohan who destroyed people for fun, the same Brittany Lohan who was brutal and merciless no longer existed, you said she had died, replaced by a tamer, meaker version.
Some cheers erupt, however most of the fans remain silent, listening to Brittany as she speaks.
Brittany:
Well I wanted to come out here and tell you that I agree with every word you said and tonight, I will NOT be climbing in that ring with you, nor will I against anyone, at least, not for now. You see, I need to walk away from the business, take some time to think, have a real heart to heart with myself and find out why I don’t enjoy watching the blood flow like I use to, I need to rediscover the monster within and Jackson, you were the one who motivated that change.
The fans are shocked to hear Brittany is leaving, even if it is just temporary.
Brittany:
So as of right now, with the permission of Riley Addison, Brittany Lohan defaults the victory to you Jackson and turns away from the business.
Suddenly boos erupt as Marie Williams runs out onto the stage, instantly she is trying to find out what Brittany is doing as Lohan drops the microphone, however Brittany just ignores her and walks back through the curtain leaving the entire arena, even Jackson astounded by her decision to just walk away!
Walters:
Holy shit! Did Lohan just go LOA on us?
Sorenson:
I actually think she did!!
Walters:
Marie Williams is going to be pissed!!
The scene fades away from the arena as Jackson’s arm is lifted in victory in the middle of the ring, but the tag team partner looks dumbfounded still, shocked at the decision that just got aired.
********************************************************************************
Lethal Weapon appears in the back entering the arena, he has a bag over his shoulder and is dressed in a designer suit, his expression as usual is cold as he speaks to nobody and just passes many of the stage hands on his way to his dressing room, however he suddenly stops and his cold expression slowly turns to one of anger, he glares at the man in front of him who is revealed as Eli Legacy as slowly the camera begins to turn. Eli looks just as angry, his new Atlantic Championship across his shoulder.
Eli:
Nice of you to turn up.
Weapon just places the bag down on the floor, preparing for a fight.
Weapon:
What do you want Eli?
Eli:
I want revenge, revenge against you costing me my shot at The World Heavyweight Championship, costing me my unbeaten run and that starts tonight, that starts with me beating you down and letting Jacob and Rayne watch as I finish you off myself and put your ‘title momentum’ in reverse, understand?
Weapon:
Idle threats? I put my bag down so we can throw fists and you hit me with ‘idle threats’?
Eli angrily just stares at Lethal as Weapon slowly begins to grin and picks his bag back up throwing it over his shoulder.
Weapon:
Eli, if you can beat me tonight, good for you, but you couldn’t beat me at Dedication and you couldn’t beat me at Carnage 9, so I’m not holding out much hope for you and your chances.
Eli:
Oh wait, is this because I’m a part of your STUPID ‘Sick Society’? Give me a break!
Weapon:
Actually, it is, you keep losing because you haven’t been where I have, you haven’t done what I have and until you are willing to actually get your hands dirty and dig deep… You are going to keep losing.
Weapon just smiles and sarcastically taps the shoulder of Eli before walking past him into the arena as an angry Legacy just looks on, his expression one of rage.
******************************************************************************
Priest can be seen preparing for the main event in his locker room, he gently grabs at his throat, still clearly pissed off at how Dante chokeslammed him earlier in the night, he grabs an elbow pad and lifts it up his arm before suddenly stopping to see Rayne Young standing in the doorway to a loud chorus of boos from inside the arena. Young is standing with his hands in the air, his palms open.
Rayne:
Keep calm, I’m not here to fight.
Priest:
Then you better turn back, because seeing you is enough to make me want to fight!
Rayne:
Look, I know we don’t have the best of relationships, in fact, we hate one another, but I know what you want…
Priest just glares at Rayne, interested now in what he has to say.
Rayne:
I know you are looking for that main event match, that huge extravaganza of an event that is going to make the world stand up and take notice again, I know you want to have that match that will see you climb back to the top.
Priest:
That’s what I want?
Rayne:
Yes. You either want to be a contender again, or you want to go out in a blaze of glory!
Priest:
And how do you know this?
Rayne:
… Because I want the same thing.
Rayne and Priest just glare at one another for a moment, neither of them speaking, the two legends seemingly in agreement about something.
Rayne:
Fighting in the MCW, in this place, it takes a toll and someday I’m going to have to retire, right? Either way, I know you feel the same and after what Dante did to you, I wanted to come here personally with an idea…
Priest:
Go on…
Rayne takes a second and just collects his thoughts before speaking.
Rayne:
Well, I just felt what Dante did was out of order, so, at Warfare & Riots, this companies big event, why not have a match worthy of its name, why not have monster Vs monster, Dante Vs Priest!!
Some cheers from the arena explode at this as Rayne looks on with a smile, happy with his idea, even Priest seems to consider it for a moment, his hand raising to rub his chin, however, he then grins himself and glares back at Rayne:
Priest:
Fighting Dante one more time would be something I would love to do, but lets face it, you came here with this idea to get Dante of your back and if not of your back, of Jacob’s. At Warfare and Riots, Jacob Laymon is fighting the Lethal Weapon and quite frankly, my monies on the challenger, but with Dante wanting revenge, I think Jacob stands no chance.
Priest shakes his head at Rayne’s attempts and Young’s expression gives away that Priest got the plan down to a T.
Rayne:
But he chokeslammed you?
Priest:
And that pissed me off royally, which is why your idea, your plan was obvious, BUT, I will accept it… On one condition.
Rayne suddenly sounds intrigued, a smile running up one side of his face.
Rayne:
Being?
Priest:
At Warfare and Riots, I want the match to be in a hell, in a cell.
Rayne:
Done.
Priest:
But it won’t be Priest Vs Dante…
Rayne:
What!?! So who then?
Priest:
It will be Priest Vs Dante… Vs… Rayne Young!
Rayne’s face suddenly goes pale as he listens to the words of Priest, the fans are going mental, Priest just smiles as Rayne glances around the room, considering the match he has just been challenged to.
Rayne:
Me against two of the biggest monsters in this business, in a hell in a cell, are you crazy?
Priest:
You walked into my dressing room knowing full well what I want to do to you… I’d say you weren’t sane.
Rayne just continues to glare at Priest and nods as he tries to take in the information processing in his head, he then looks up and glares into the eyes of Priest.
Rayne:
Fine… But when tonight is over, you’re going to regret involving me!
The fans go mental as Rayne Young just traces backwards before turning down the lobby leaving a maniacal looking Priest to look on, a huge smile appearing across his face.
*******************************************************************************
Walters:
Did you hear that!?! Rayne Young, Priest and Dante in a hell in a cell match at Warfare and Riots!! Does it get bigger then that!?!
Sorenson:
Wow! Talk about a double main event, Laymon Vs Weapon and now a three way hell in a cell featuring three of the most dominant, most legendary superstars in the business, unbelievable!
Inception Championship Match
Marie Williams Vs Wrath
["I Am Hell (Sonata in C#)" by Machine Head hits the speakers and John Ojeda storms out showing no emotion or care for anything around him, he doesn’t even look unnerved by his first outing at a Carnage show. He charges down to the ring, ignoring the fans and slides in; ready to square off with his opponent, the fans show him a mixed reaction, not sure how to take his smash mouth attitude, but John doesn’t seem to care and just waits for the champion to appear as he stretches in the ring, limbering up for the match ahead.
Walters:
John Ojeda, better known as Wrath has been brilliant for the FWA since his recent arrival along with Marissa Stamm who we saw won earlier, he did us proud in that Dedication rumble.
Sorenson:
He did and Riley saw fit to offer him this title opportunity for just that reason, but it’s a big ask, taking on Marie Williams.
Walters:
It is, but I have to wonder, is she going to be ready for this herself? With Brittany’s announcement earlier, she herself can’t be straight in the head, right?
“You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake”
Ben Watson: Ladies and gentlemen….
“Holding my breathe, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold”
Ben Watson: From Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 130 pounds, “The Devilish Diva” MARIE ANNABELLE WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!!
A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Williams appears, her face full of confusion and distraction, the Inception title over her shoulder. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of “Haunted” by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena.
“Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, your all I wanted
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back now, I’m haunted”
Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to a mixed reaction from the fans. She pays little to no attention to the reaction. Her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story but no doubt, the break up of apocalypse, the leave of absence of Glory and even the leave of absence of Brittany is going to be playing on her mind.
“Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I say to you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishin he was you instead”
Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She normally strikes a pose, but instead, just enters the ring normally and just glares at Wrath for a moment, he finger pointed at him as she talks some trash, telling him to back off, she then walks across the ring and grabs a microphone, ignoring the ringing of the bell, she hands her title to the official but then turns to Wrath who just leans in the corner casually, bored of her already.
Marie:
John, Wrath, whatever the fuck your name is, stay there because before I beat your ass, I got some things I want to say!
Mainly boo’s ring out as Marie just turns to the entrance ramp, turning her back on her opponent and just looks up at the curtained off area.
Marie:
Now I don’t know what the fuck is going on recently, with Glory leaving and now Brittany decided she needs a hiatus, but what it looks like to me, is that Apocalypse, beyond all it’s games and tricks, was nothing but a group full of cowards, cowards who did nothing but hold me down, hold me down and stop me achieving, so Braddock, Lohan, good riddance to bad rubbish! Good riddance to you, to your careers and to your bullshit, because I don’t need you, I don’t fucking need any of you, as of right now, the era of Marie Williams begins and it starts with me beating the shit out of the new boy behind me!
Boo’s ring out, but some of the fans become aware of John Ojeda frowning in a “what the fuck” manner as she mentions him.
Marie:
People, Marie Williams isn’t going anywhere, I’m not quitting, I’m not needing time out to get my head straight, I am here to reign supreme as the best champion in this company and I’m here to prove that with everyone else gone, the true strength of Apocalypse can now show her worth to you all and go on to become The World Heavyweight Champion!
Marie just grins from ear to ear as she raises her arms in the air in victory, she then throws the microphone out of the ring and just nods at her own comments as the fans show a little less positivity toward her, she then turns, but Wrath is waiting for her and boots her with a stiff kick to the stomach, he then lifts her up onto his shoulders, THE VIKING SLEDGEHAMMER!!!! HE HITS IT!!!!! The fans are going mad, but are in utter shock at this. Marie is motionless, as John quickly covers her, hooking both legs,

WRATH IS THE NEW INCEPTION CHAMPION!!!!
Walters:
It’s over? What!?! How?
Sorenson:
Wow! Marie was so distracted by things going on, she didn’t pay attention to her opponent and she paid the consequences! John Ojeda is here to stay and is the NEW Inception Champion ladies and gentleman!
Walters:
This is such a strange new era! In less then a month, we now have a total new set of champions and of all the defeats, Marie is going to be the most annoyed!
Sorenson:
The baron run continues for her Jerry!
Wrath just stands to his feet and is handed the Inception title by the official, he glares at it for a moment and then smiles before turning to the fans, he lifts the belt in the air as the official raises his other hand, the reaction he is getting is still mixed however, with many of the fans actually siding with Marie, however he ignores it and just nods happily at his achievement, he steps out of the ring and just backtracks up the ramp as Marie Williams suddenly sits up and grabs her head with her hands, she looks up the ramp to see Wrath with the title and shakes her head, looking for confirmation from the official before demanding him to re-start the match, telling him that she ‘wasn’t ready’, but he tells her he can’t do that and the title is lost as slowly the scene fades to black and the show goes to an ad-break.
*******************************************************************************
AD-BREAK
******************************************************************************
“Mind Heist” by Zack Hemsey suddenly hits the speakers as the fans stand to their feet, the video of FWA owner, Riley Addison hits and the man himself steps out in a suit and tie, he smiles at the fans and just stands at the top of the ramp, proudly looking over the Chicago crowd that sell out this impressive arena, he then walks down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans and taking the time to have quick conversations with them and in turn, the cheers keep coming, with Chicago welcoming Riley with both arms. He reaches the ring and climbs up the steps and across the apron, he gives the fans a quick pose and then enters the ring, taking a mic from the announcer before stopping dead centre to look around at the fans surrounding him as his music comes to an end.
Walters:
Riley Addison is out here with something to say.
Riley just smiles at the fans and then takes in a deep breath, his smile fades as he is about to speak, his mind thinking to the points of which he has to make.
Riley:
Ladies and Gentleman, firstly, let me thank you for coming to the show, thank you for giving us a great night so far and thank you Chicago, for welcoming the FWA!
Cheers erupt for the cheap pop as Riley begins to pace the ring nervously.
Riley:
Sadly, the extent of my kind, good welcome end there, because the news and the reasons I’ve come out here tonight are not good, not good at all. Firstly, let me just confirm that Brittany Lohan and Glory Braddock are BOTH now on a leave of absence and I allowed this to help them with there personal demons and problems and I wish them both back to us as soon as they feel ready.
A murmur of a sound circulates as Riley continues to speak.
Riley:
Furthermore, Michael Kyzer’s return to action is now permanently on hold until Doctors are able to consider him fit. This is because somebody attacked him backstage as you saw earlier, now before anyone goes pointing fingers, let me make something clear, I don’t know who this person is, I don’t know what they want and I don’t know how they got in here, but what I do want to know is if anyone in the back knows anything? I got security looking for this person, I got the police searching the area as well, so any support you guys in the back can offer, I’d appreciate it.
Boo’s gently echo at the news that Michael Kyzer won’t be coming back as planned, however Riley sighs and lifts his hand to quiet down the fans.
Riley:
Sadly guys, I’m not finished. As many of you saw at Dedication, Glory Braddock left the company with the World Heavyweight Championship, although I know for a fact, that she didn’t leave the building with it, so it begs to question, where is it? I phoned the Joe Louis arena and I know it wasn’t left behind, so someone picked it up and I need to know that was and I need it back. You see, whether Jacob wants it or not, it is his to have and as the owner of this company, I want it back, so if you have it, please come and see me. Well, guys, I think that’s it, so sorry it couldn’t be happier bu-
Suddenly “Survival of the Sickest” by Saliva explodes through the speakers causing the fans to go mental with cheers, the video of Lethal Weapon is playing over the speaker system as Riley stops midsentence and just looks up the ramp in confusion as to what the new number one contender of the World wants, Lethal suddenly appears from the back, bag in hand, he walks onto the ramp and just salutes the fans either side of him before taking the bag and putting his hand in, he then lets the bag drop, revealing the World Title!! The fans cheer even louder as Weapon just throws the belt over his shoulder, he grins from ear to ear and shines it with his cuff, the zoom of the camera showing the belt with his name on it, not that of Jacob Laymon. He walks down the ramp and just stops at the bottom, taking in the support and the cheers of the fans, he then walks around to the ring steps and slowly walks up them and along the apron before entering the ring, his eyes meeting the less impressed expression of his boss, Riley, he takes a microphone and just waits for his music to end, he then adjusts the belt and with a cocky smile, looks at it before glancing back at Riley who is instantly asking for it back.
Weapon:
Just so you know, this wasn’t planned…
Riley just remains silent and listens to what Lethal has to say.
Weapon:
Glory Braddock took the title at Dedication, but seems she realised her mistake and threw the belt aside, now I could have left it and carried on with my night, but I saw it, picked it up and thought about holding it for awhile. I just figured it would be easier this way.
Riley:
What would be easier?
Weapon:
Well, lets face it, sooner or later I was going to have this title over my shoulder anyway, either right now, or when I beat Jacob Laymon at Warfare and Riots, so Riley, I’m just saving you some time and some money, see, I’ve got my name on it already and everything and the way I see it, Jacob really isn’t fussed about the belt, so, hell, I might as well get use to wearing the thing for when the time comes that I beat him in the middle of this ring because god knows, I DO give a damn about wearing it proudly, as all champions should.
Riley:
Nick, come on now, whatever you think is going to happen, even if you do beat Jacob, right now, that titles belongs to him and should be over his shoulder, not yours!
Weapon:
Wrong, it shouldn’t. Jacob Laymon is a poor excuse of a leader for this roster, for this industry and his lack of care for this title proves it. This is wrestling for Christ sake and these belts symbolise everything that every single superstar in the world wants to have and yet, Jacob, he devalues the belt by claiming it’s nothing but a piece of ‘tin’, really!?!
Riley:
Nick…
Weapon:
No, fuck you. When someone can come down that ramp and take it from me, fine, but until then, this belt is staying over my shoulder and in my hands!
Cheers erupt as Weapon stands up to Riley, his face becoming angry as the owner suddenly looks down at the canvas and just bites his top lip, before pacing away from Weapon and then quickly turning back to him, his face suddenly enraged.
Riley:
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARROGANT PRICK…
The fans ‘Ooo’ as Riley just suddenly loses it!
Riley:
I’m fed up of this, I’m fed up of this façade that we are meant to be friends, that we are meant to be on the same side, because every week I am getting attitude from you, I’ve been hit with a steel chair, I’ve been hit with the spear and now, NOW, you want to cause me problems by refusing to show me the respect of doing what I’ve asked and giving me that title back, really!?!
Weapon:
Riley-
Riley:
No… FUCK… YOU… I know you’ve been having meetings with the board behind my back and I know you’ve been placing the knife between my shoulder blades along with the darling wife of yours, but that’s for another day, right now, I want that title back.
Weapon just waits for Riley to finish and then lifts the microphone slowly to his mouth.
Weapon:
Are you quite done? If so, let me explain something to you, because Riley, we are friends, but on both the occasions I attacked you, you got involved in my business, you get involved in my business again and I assure you, you’ll be attacked again. My agenda isn’t with you Riley and nothing I’ve done to you or I say to you is personal, my war is with the ‘Sick society’ of this business, of this industry, something Jacob Laymon is very much a part of and you know this, but Riley, if you get in my way, if you stop me achieving my goal of destroying the sick society, then this ‘friendship’, is over and like them, you become an enemy, not a friend.
Riley sighs and just leans in the corner of the ring as he takes on board what Weapon is saying, however as he does “Countdown to Extinction” by Megadeath suddenly explodes through the speakers and the boos erupt also, Jacob Laymon walks out from the back and just shakes his head at the two men in the ring, his eyes meet Weapon’s and the two of them angrily glare at one another.
Jacob:
You know, I, like everyone else, stood backstage listening to this bullshit and I decided I’ve listened to about as much as my stomach can handle. Lethal, let me remind you of a few things, ok? You say I’m apart of this ‘sick society’ that you’ve made up in that twisted little head of yours, but what I have I done to be aligned with such an illustrious group as this huh? Let me see, I ran a wrestling federation that had good ratings and kept the business interesting, a little known fed called the MCW and not the shell that the Salvatore brothers resurrected, but the real deal MCW, I formed the FWA, a federation you stand in right now and then when I dropped down and gave your ‘friend’ the reigns, I joined this roster and worked my way to the top to become World Champion. Wow, now I’ve said it out loud, you’re right, I’m a real bastard and I can see why you hate me, I mean, in the last 6 months I’ve been more successful then you have been in the last 5 years, right?
Jacob just grins a smug grin and waits as Weapon lifts his own microphone.
Weapon:
Jacob, being a draw, having a federation, bringing in ratings, they are all great things, sure, but look beyond the obvious, what has been the main motive behind all of those successes huh? You sure as hell didn’t run MCW for the best interests of Whitecloud because let’s face it, the federation often changed hands for short periods and went to different board members, Sheryl, my wife, even took a crack at having the place off you for a very short period, but you know why the deal never went through Jacob? Because your shit wasn’t in order! On the face of things, MCW was a true success, but behind the scenes, it was run by a shabby, selfish son of a bitch who didn’t know what the fuck he was doing and was lucky to have some knowledgeable business brains around him, end of. As for the Sick Society Jacob, since when have you been a role model for the youth of today? You think Eli Legacy is going to learn the rights and wrongs of this business from you? Or Jackie Daniels? Bullshit! The grit and graft you need to be a real success in this business and not just an overnight 15 minute wonder is something you and your era know nothing about because you never bothered to learn the meaning of being a true success in this business, you just took the quick fixes which is the same teachings that you pass down to the kids of tomorrow!
Cheers erupt around the arena as Jacob continues to smile and shakes his head in disagreement at Weapon, though he is quickly becoming disgruntled as he paces down the ramp and up the steel steps before waiting on the apron, he glares at Weapon momentarily before entering through the ropes and standing right up to Weapon.
Jacob:
You fucking hypocrite, lets face facts, you bought down the WFN, your own families federation with your oversized ego and self worship and had it not been for me, you would have done the same with the MCW! You’re the cancer, the killer, the man who destroys this business, not the ‘sick society’ you claim are doing it and that somehow, you’re actually the saviour, bullshit! Why don’t you go to Luke Tanner and his family and ask them what they think huh?
More ‘Ooo’s’ erupt from around the arena as Weapon just grins up one side of his face and just nods as he tries to take on what Jacob said, his temper beginning to boil over this time, he considers what Jacob has said before suddenly, he swings his arm slamming the microphone right into the head of Jacob knocking the World Champion to the mat with a bang causing the fans to cheer loudly, however boo’s erupt quickly after as Rayne Young and Eli Legacy suddenly appear from the back and sprint down the ramp, Weapon just backs off Jacob and holds the World title in his hand, ready to use it as a weapon if needed, Rayne and Eli just climb up onto either side of the ring as Jacob slowly stands, holding his head, his face fuming. The fans are demanding Priest and Dewitt to show as Weapon glances quickly from one man to the other, surrounded by three of his biggest rivals in recent times. Riley rolls out of the ring seeing this and just walks toward commentary causing more boo’s from the fans as the owner decides not to help his so called ‘friend’.
Walters:
What the hell? If Riley is his friend, shouldn’t he be in that ring offering Weapon some element of back up?
Sorenson:
In fairness, I can’t imagine I’d want to help him after everything he’s done!
Suddenly “Passive” By A Perfect Circle explodes and the fans go nuts, all of them cheering loudly, Priest suddenly walks out from the back with Tommy Dewitt in toe and the two men quickly make there way down the ramp toward the ring, seeing this, Jacob, Eli and Rayne quickly clear out and watch angrily as Priest and Tommy enter the ring alongside Weapon, offering him the backup he needs, all six men are shouting abuse at one another as the show goes to adverts.

Six Man Tag
Jacob Laymon, Rayne Young & Eli Legacy Vs Priest, Lethal Weapon & Tommy Dewitt
Walters:
Ladies and Gentleman, welcome back and this match is about to explode, Riley is joining us down at commentary and we have all six men already out here!
Sorenson:
Absolutely no love lost here between these guys!
Walters:
But this match is about to get underway after the crazy start to this main event, but here we go!
The fans are still up in arms and going crazy, edging the two teams to just rip each other apart and forget the rules but as the bell sounds and the two teams pick their corners, things begin to become organised. Both Priest and Dewitt check but are shrugged away by Weapon who makes it clear he is going to start as he places the World title down in his teams corner, his eyes glancing across at Riley as he does like a warning, across the ring, Rayne Young steps into the ring and seems ready to get things going for his team. Finally the bell sounds and the two men just circle the ring to a huge ovation of noise from all around them.
Rayne and Weapon circle the ring, staying clear of the arms of their opponents as they pass them before suddenly leaping in, both men locking up in a collar elbow tie up, the two legends who fought at PRIDE show no signs of giving in either with both men pushing back and forth on one another for a clear 30 seconds, but Weapon suddenly breaks the lock and grabs Rayne with a tough side headlock before grinding it in, however, Rayne quickly runs back into the ropes and uses the momentum to throw Weapon across the ring into the ropes opposite, as he hits them he comes back and just slams into the shoulder of Rayne taking him down and instantly drops into a quick cover,
1…
Rayne kicks out almost instantly.
Both men leap back to there feet and Rayne steps forward toward Weapon but is quickly thrown back down to the ring mat with a nice arm drag and Lethal holds on, locking the elbow and the shoulder in place as he extends the arm, however Rayne quickly rolls up onto his knees and just grabs his shoulder with his other arm, trying to relive the pain, however he just stands to his feet forcing Weapon to change his hold to a wrist lock, he twists the arm slowly and then bends it backwards into a hammerlock tugging on the arm, he then pulls Rayne back toward the corner and to a huge cheer, tags in Priest who enters the ring over the top rope and takes an arm of Rayne as Weapon does the same, together they throw Rayne off the ropes across the ring, he hits the ones opposite and runs right back into both men who wait for him, as he gets close, they lift him off the ground and drop him with a huge double spinebuster that has Rayne arching his back in pain, his feet kicking the canvas!
Priest drops over him for the cover, hooking the leg,

No! Kickout by Rayne.
Walters:
Big double team move by Priest and Weapon.
Sorenson:
Wowzer! A double team move of two guys like that, I don’t care who you are, it’s going to hurt!!
Priest just sits up and then slowly rolls to his feet, he leans down grabbing Rayne by the head and lifts him up, however as Rayne gets to his feet, he slams a stiff knee into the stomach of Priest causing him to stumble back, quickly Rayne just stumbles to his corner tagging in Eli Legacy, quickly Legacy charges in and right at Priest, but the big man lifts his boot straight into the face of Eli nearly taking his head right off! Priest just quickly stands this time and points angrily at Rayne, shouting abuse at him, he then turns back to Eli who has rolled onto his front, cradling his head in pain, seeing this, Priest just grabs him by the ankles and slowly places his boots into the back of his knee joints, instantly the much smaller Eli is yelling in agony, however holding onto those ankles, Priest just jumps on the spot bringing his total weight right down across the back of his knees!!! Eli rolls away cradling both of his legs in pain as Priest glares down at him with a sadistic amusement.
Priest walks across to Eli, easily lifting him back up to his feet, he takes him by the wrist and twists the arm before walking back to the corner, this time tagging in Tommy Dewitt who enters the ring and grabs his free arm, both men throw Eli across the ring into the opposite set of ropes, he comes back ducking a double clothesline by both men and hits the ropes again, however this time he isn’t quick enough and firstly Dewitt hits a spinning heel kick to the stomach of Eli bending him forward as Priest lifts his boot from the mat straight into his face knocking him backwards, landing hard, back first on the canvas.
Instantly Eli rolls out of the ring holding his chest and face in agony, however Jacob quickly leaps in and charges across at the two men going for a double dropkick, but Dewitt and Priest quickly sidestep causing Jacob to fly through the ropes to the outside of the ring to a loud eruption of cheers from the watching audience, suddenly Rayne chases in right after him and charges Priest but the big man see’s him at the final moment and ducks lifting Rayne on his back high and over the ropes to the floor below!!
Suddenly to the shock of everyone, Priest runs into the far ropes and comes flying back across the ring as his three opponents quickly duck to avoid him, however Priest pulls the bluff stopping just in front of the ropes, however, right behind him, Tommy Dewitt charges in, Priest turns to him and with both hands lifts him nearly 9ft in the air right down onto Laymon and Eli Legacy as Rayne dives out of the way!!! Young quickly stands back up, but as he does, Priest runs across the apron and dives off hitting a huge flying clothesline that takes Rayne down and has the fans going wild!!! Suddenly Lethal Weapon climbs up to the top rope, in a moment that is very uncharacteristic, Lethal stands on the top, waiting as Dewitt, Laymon and Eli stand, suddenly he flies off, hitting a huge crossbody across all three men taking them all back down!!
Walters:
WOW! What action!! Have you ever seen Priest or Weapon do something like that?
Sorenson:
Never! But his team have totally dominated so far!
Weapon, Priest grab Laymon and Rayne, punching, kicking and throwing them back around to their corner as Dewitt just rolls Rayne Young back into the ring, he then rolls in himself as all six men climb back up onto the apron in there relevant corners. In the ring Dewitt waits for Rayne to stand, he then drops him with a clothesline before tagging in Priest, the big man gets back into the ring and just watches as Rayne sits up on his knees, with a smile, he just swings his boot right into the chest of Rayne with a slapping sound, he then goes for it again, aiming for his head this time, but Rayne ducks the punt and quickly stands to his feet, he boots Priest in top of his thigh, knocking the big man down to one knee before quickly grabbing his head and dropping him viciously down to the mat with a DDT! Boo’s begin to ring out as Rayne and Priest both lay on the mat, tired and hurting however slowly Rayne rolls the big man over and goes for the pin,

Kick out by Priest.
Rayne just rolls up to his knees and tags Jacob Laymon in to even louder boos, Young picks Priest up to his feet and knee’s him in the stomach bending him over, he then hooks his arm exposing the ribs of Priest allowing Jacob to hit a hard kick, Priest just grabs his side as he stands and backs into the wrong corner allowing Laymon to suddenly go mad with boots as Rayne leaves the ring. He just slams boot after boot, after boot right into the midsection of Priest forcing the big man to drop into a seated position in the corner and in the worst of territories. Jacob carries on until the official physically pushes him away warning him of disqualification, Priest slowly begins to stand up as Jacob pushes his way back toward him, he grabs Priest, snapmaring the big man back into the centre of the ring, he then runs into the ropes adjacent and comes back with a big boot to the side of Priest’s head knocking him flat onto the mat, quickly Laymon covers,

Priest kicks out.
Jacob angrily just grabs Priest, lifting him to his feet as he stands and hooking him in a front facelock before backing up into his teams corner, as he does Eli slaps his back tagging himself in, Jacob holds Priest in place allowing Eli to slap a kick across his ribs again, Jacob lets him go and then leaves the ring allowing Eli to slap a chop across his chest and another and another knocking Priest back into the adjacent corner of the ring.
Walters:
Priest needs the tag because Laymon and his team are really singling him out here!
Sorenson:
Easier said than done, they are hardly giving Priest a second to clear the cobwebs are they?
Eli grabs Priest by the head snapmaring him back into the centre of the ring again before hooking his head into a rear chin lock and laying him onto his side as he lays himself, trying to wear the big man down on the mat taking away any size advantage he might have. Priest just grits his teeth and extends his hand toward his corner, but he is miles away and has no chance of a tag, nonetheless, Eli grinds the hold in, talking trash in his ear the whole time doing whatever it takes to wear him down and get into his head.
The official is checking on Priest, demanding an answer as to whether or not he wants to continue but there is no way Priest is going to give up now, not even to the Atlantic Champion, but Eli knows what he is doing and continues to wear the wrestling legend down, keeping him grounded as best he can, loudly both Weapon and Dewitt are calling for Priest to fight back, demanding he use his strength to get out of this, encouraging him along, with the fans offering a loud support as well, Priest slowly rolls up to one knee, but Eli keeps the hold locked in, applying pressure to try and bring Priest back down, but the big man ignores it and just slams an elbow into the stomach of Eli and another as he stands up and another breaking the hold, he then turns and runs into the ropes building up some momentum, but Eli is a step ahead and leaps into the air hitting a perfect dropkick right under the jaw of Priest knocking him back down to the mat, he covers,

Priest kicks out.
Eli just sits up in the ring smiling to the fans who boo him loudly, he then rolls up to his feet, lifting Priest with him before applying the front facelock and backing up to his corner, this time tagging in Rayne Young and again exposing the ribs allowing Rayne to stomp hard against them this time, Young then stands Priest straight before hitting a tough right hand to the jaw of Priest knocking the big man down to one knee and clearly dazing him, Rayne then runs into the far ropes and just slams a boot across his face, knocking Priest down to the mat.
He covers,

Another kick out by Priest.
Walters:
Clever wrestling by Eli Legacy, wearing Priest down and keeping him grounded, but notice the change in style from Rayne, very much a smash mouth attack.
Sorenson:
It might be less technical, but it can be just as affective!
Rayne stands and lifts Priest and as they have done ever since taking control, they lock in the front facelock and make the tag, this time Rayne to Jacob, who enters quickly and slams a boot, again, into the ribs of Priest causing the man to stumble across the ring, however as Jacob chases him, Priest suddenly counters in desperation, grabbing the head of Laymon and landing a stiff European uppercut and another and another and another knocking Jacob back across the ring into the opposite corner he then grabs the wrist of Jacob throwing him across the ring, but no, Jacob counters throwing Priest instead, before charging in with a vicious big boot that whiplashes the head of Priest in the corner knocking him back into a seated position as the fans boo heavily toward the current World Champion of the FWA.
Laymon just stands in front of the downed Priest and seems to pity the man before disrespectfully shoving his head with his boot, he then slams a hard kick into his chest and another and another until the official again breaks it up, he grabs Priest by the arm and lifts him up to his feet before twisting it by the wrist, he then slams a tough forearm across the shoulder blade and another knocking Priest down to one knee before hitting consecutive hard shots over and over eventually knocking Priest flat onto his front allowing Jacob to drop beside him and lock in an armbar that has Priest roaring with pain and desperately reaching out to his partners for the tag, he can’t and Jacob just locks it in harder, however Priest quickly uses his experience to position himself so he can get up to his knees, instantly releasing the pressure on his arm, he then quickly stands forcing Jacob to stand with him, angrily Priest uses his free arm to slams a right hand to the stomach of the champion and another and another breaking the hold and again, he runs into the near ropes to get some momentum, but this time, Jacob grabs him and lifts Priest with a perfectly executed side slam into a pin,

Priest kicks out.
Jacob just grabs the big man by the arm dragging him over to his teams corner again, this time Eli Legacy tags himself in and instantly goes about stomping a hole into the chest of Priest while he is grounded, he then picks the big man up and hits another tough chop knocking Priest into the adjacent corner of the ring, he walks across to Priest and just slams vicious right hands time and time again, the official eventually steps in, pushing Legacy back, however Eli then charges back in going for a running clothesline, but Priest suddenly lifts his boot right into the face of the smaller man with brutal contact knocking Eli instantly to the ground as the fans cheer wildly, all of them begging for him to now go for the tag.
Priest see’s the opportunity and with Eli leaping for his ankle to stop him, the big man extends his arm and to the huge cheers from the audience, slaps the hand of Tommy Dewitt!!
Walters:
HE DONE IT!!! Here comes one of the tag team champions!
Sorenson:
Huge moment in this match and now they have a fresh man in!
Dewitt enters the ring as if he’s been waiting for this moment his entire life, he charges Eli going for a clothesline, but Legacy ducks it and then runs at the far ropes, Dewitt continues into the ropes opposite and both men charge one another in the middle of the ring only for Tommy to leap in the air hitting a nice flying clothesline that takes Eli down hard, but Legacy bounces right back but runs right into another clothesline and another, again he stands but Tommy grabs his wrist and throws him across the ring into the ropes, Eli counters throwing Tommy instead but Legacy ducks way to early and Tommy stops right in front of him before grabbing him by the hair and planting him face first into the canvas!! Eli just stumbles back up to his feet and then into the far corner as Tommy roars to the already excited fans and charges in to him with a flying forearm smash that knocks Eli into a seated position in the corner, he then walks across to his teams corner, lines him up and runs back in with a huge fash wash, his boot slapping across the face of Eli with a sickening contact!
Jacob just charges across the apron trying to attack Tommy, but he ducks the clothesline attempt and runs on at Rayne knocking him right off the apron and down to the safety mats below, he then turns as Jacob does, but acts first knocking the World Champion down to the mats as well with a solid clothesline!
Sensing an opportunity, he then dives onto Eli going for the cover,

No! Eli kicks out!!
Quickly Tommy grabs Eli by the hair and lifts him to his feet, but Legacy just slaps his hands away and then leaps into a perfect dropkick that takes both men down to the mats, leaving them there as they try to shake the cobwebs. Eli this time quickly goes for the cover,
1…
No! Tommy kicks out early.
Eli just angrily picks Tommy up and tags in Rayne who even angrier leaps into the ring and just grabs Dewitt around the head slamming knees into his chest and face over and over again, he then runs into the ropes and comes back hitting another stiff knee into the face of Tommy knocking him to the mat and off his feet.
Rayne goes for the cover this time
1…
2…
No! Priest suddenly slides back in breaking the count, as he stands Eli is back in as well and just dropkicks Priest in the leg knocking him down to his knees, he then runs back into the ropes and charges back at Priest, SPEAR BY TOMMY DEWITT!!!! Eli grabs his waist and rolls out of the ring, but Dewitt chases him out and quickly the two men begin brawling on the outside of the ring, back inside the ring, Priest is up but Rayne charges him with a clothesline that takes both men over the ropes and down to the outside with a thud!!!
As they fall, Lethal just enters the ring and stands solid as he stares at Jacob who just stares back at him, Laymon enters the ring as well and the noise level increases by about 10 decibels as the two men suddenly begin back and forth with the trash talk, however finally Weapon fires first with a right hand, but Laymon fires back, then Weapon, then Laymon, then Weapon, then Laymon, neither man backing down or giving an inch from one another, however Laymon then slams a knee into the stomach of Weapon stopping his momentum, he slams some hard forearms across his back and then runs back into the ropes, however as he does, Weapon steps into him and lifts him with a spinning AA spinebuster that rocks the ring as Weapon suddenly bounces back up to his feet, roaring with adrenaline!!
He then turns to see the World title belt sitting in the corner of the ring and just grins as a groggy Jacob Laymon begins to stand up, Weapon grabs the belt and just positions it as if he is readying to hit Jacob with the gold, however as he does, boo’s erupt as Riley Addison suddenly leaps onto the apron and grabs one of the belt straps!!
Walters:
Weapon was looking to use that belt, but what the fuck is Riley doing!!
Sorenson:
Riley Addison just got up from the announce desk and he is trying to stop Lethal using that belt.
Walter:
Is he? Or is he just trying to get the belt back like he asked him earlier!
Sorenson:
Either way, Lethal isn’t letting go!!
Lethal and Riley continue to play a tug of war, arguing back and forth as they do it, the official suddenly runs over, demanding the owner get down from the ring, getting in Riley’s face and demanding he let go and not intervene in this match, but with the officials back turned and Weapon distracted, Jacob Laymon suddenly slams a forearm right into the groin of Weapon causing Lethal to let go off the belt, Riley flies off the apron to the mats and cradles the belt to his chest before scurring up to his feet and slowly walking around the ring and away from the match as he realises what he may have just done!
Weapon stays on his feet but looks in agony, however Jacob doesn’t care and with the official now looking, he grabs Weapon positioning him between his legs, he then hooks his waist and lifts him to his shoulders before dropping him powerfully, OWNED!!! HE HITS IT!!! JACOB LAYMON HIT HIS FINISHER ON WEAPON!!! He casually covers Weapon as the official drops down,
1…
2…
3…
IT’S ALL OVER!!! JACOB’S DONE IT…
…WAIT…
The official is shaking his head, he is telling Jacob ‘no’. Laymon can’t believe it, LETHAL WEAPON KICKED OUT!!!! Jacob just runs his hands over his bold head and just shakes his head in disbelief, however he then looks to his corner as Eli Legacy leaps back up onto the apron having thrown Dewitt into the ring barrier, he is begging Laymon to let him finish Weapon off, his hand extended. Jacob glares at Weapon again and stands, slapping the hand of Eli before dropping to the canvas and rolling out of the ring, he then backs around the ring, watching as Eli leaps to the top rope and perches himself, he then poses to the fans before flying high, SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!! NO!!! WEAPON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!!
Jacob just stops in his tracks and looks amazed that Weapon suddenly climbs up to his knees, groggy but aware of his surroundings, Lethal then waits as Eli just stands, holding his stomach in pain, he drops the shoulder as Eli turns into him and then lifts Eli across them, with a rage in his expression, he then turns to look at Jacob and further up the ramp Riley Addison and then throws Eli out in front of him, EQUILIBRIUM!!!!!!!!!!! Eli lands head first and is laid out flat, quickly Weapon covers him his eyes focused all the time on Jacob and now Rayne Young as both men back up the ramp, then up at the curtained off area at Riley Addison, as the official counts,
1…
2…
3…
The fans explode, the entire arena is going crazy
The bell sounds as “Survival of the Sickest” suddenly blares out of the speakers, but the eyes of Weapon don’t budge, he slowly stands, his arm being raised by the official, but his anger shines through his expression as he glares at Jacob, Rayne runs to the apron to help Eli out as Tommy and Priest enter the ring with Lethal, but the final images of the night are clear for all to see, as Weapon stands on the middle rope, his eyes looking at Jacob, his finger pointed higher up, at Riley Addison and the World Heavyweight Championship Belt.
