Fireworks and cheers. Woo. What? I've been lazy on these opening segments since I've started, why stop now? [/b] Matthew Werner: Welcome to another edition of WFWF Loaded. I'm Matthew Werner joined as always by Matt Steel. Matt Steel: Charmed, I'm sure. Matthew Werner: Well, we definitely look to continue things in a very interesting manner. Matt Steel: For the past few weeks Trace Demon has been talking about respect, about how he doesn’t feel like the amount of work he has put into the company is being appreciated. It’s so bad that he didn’t even turn up for work last week. Matthew Werner: That’s right, and following some scathing words by Trace in several interviews this week Xavier Pierce has agreed to meet him in the ring for a special contract signing to get everything sorted out. Matt Steel: Although knowing Trace he’ll have something worked out that will make this less than a standard meeting. Matthew Werner: Well with Xavier Pierce already waiting on the King of Demons let’s join him in the ring. We move from the announce table to the ring which is all set up for a contract signing. A single table sits in the centre of the ring with two chairs on either side. The only things on the table is a contract and a pen. Xavier Pierce stands behind the table, a microphone in hand.Xavier Pierce: As you may all be aware, one of our own has made his feelings of discontent very clear with the way that the WFWF is treating him in recent weeks. While his actions in making his feelings clear could be considered less than professional we have come to the mutual decision to meet here, in front of you all, to discuss a new contract that will alleviate his concerns. So I would like you all to welcome Mr. Demon to the ring. A huge roar of boos erupt from the fans as the opening chords of “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” hit the speakers. The lights across the arena shut off one by one as six crimson spotlights replace them, each one turning on a different part of the arena in sequence. One by one each of the spotlights moves to the top of the stage, combining and showing the first signs of Trace Demon as he walks out into the spotlight. Unlike his usual attire Trace is suited up to the nines, complete with shades. Trace walks to the tip of the ramp, the spotlight following his every step, before holding out his arm, his fingers pointed like a gun aimed directly at Xavier Pierce. Suddenly he throws his hand up, mouthing “Boom” as pyrotechnics go off behind him as the lights flicker back to life.Matthew Werner: Trace Demon, who is scheduled to face long time foe Phillip Schneider later tonight, has been a fan favourite in the past year but he has made it very clear that that is no longer the case. Matt Steel: He feels like the fans, and the people running the company, don’t respect him or appreciate the sweat and blood that he has put into the WFWF for the past five years and honestly, it is difficult to argue. Matthew Werner: What are you talking about? The fans cheered him, he got numerous opportunities from management, what does he have to complain about? Matt Steel: Did you watch his interview online this week? You watch that and you’ll understand that he has plenty of things to complain about. Trace stands on the ramp and slowly looks around at the crowd, unfazed at all of the abuse that they are throwing his way. If anything he just smirks and begins making his way to the ring, completely ignoring the fans on either side of him as they attempt to reach out and touch the King of Demons, instead focused solely on Xavier Pierce. As he reaches the foot of the ring he stops and walks around, climbing up the ring steps and entering the ring between the top and middle rope. He waits as a stage hand passes him a microphone and then looks at Pierce, waiting for him to say something.Xavier Pierce: Thank you for joining us Trace. Trace Demon: Well when you’ve got a clinger like you calling me twenty times a day, it’s either meet up with them or call the police. And you wouldn’t cope well in prison; you look like too much of a bottom. Trace grins as Xavier grimaces. He pulls the seat out and sits down, throwing his feet up on the desk.Xavier Pierce: Okay then, let’s get to business. Right here I have a new contract for you that includes a ten percent increase on... Trace Demon: This thing? Trace picks up the contract that was on the desk, pretends to read through it and then throws it out of the ring.Trace Demon: No. Xavier Pierce: No? Trace Demon: What is it with people and not understanding the word no? I’m not signing that piece of crap. You see Xavier, I’m a businessman. People forget that about me, they forget that I used to run this place and that while we had some issues, morale wise and the like, I made a hell of a lot of money for this company. I did that because I am a damn good businessman, and I know how to work the system. I’m very good at that. Which means I know fully well what is in that contract, and I know that it isn’t what I want. That right there is not a contract, it’s an insult. Now this... He pulls open his jacket and pulls out a file of his own before casually tossing it onto the desk.Trace Demon: This is my new contract. Matthew Werner: Wait, he wrote his own contract? Matt Steel: Okay, that’s pretty genius. Xavier Pierce doesn’t think so. He looks at Trace Demon in astonishment and then down at the contract. He gives him a look, like he’s asking whether he’s really serious. Trace gives him a look of his own – he is deadly serious. Xavier picks up the contract and begins reading over it.Trace Demon: I think you’ll find all my demands are very civil and very doable. Xavier Pierce: You want a twenty five percent raise? That’ll make you... Trace Demon: Higher paid than just about everyone else in the company? Yeah, pretty much. Xavier Pierce: And what makes you think you have that right? Trace smirks, then gets out of the seat so that he’s standing just across the table from Xavier Pierce. There’s a quiet ferocity in his eyes and a fierceness in his tone.Trace Demon: Because I have slaved away for this company for the past five years, because I have given the best years of my life to this business no matter what it cost me. Because week after week, month after month, I came to work and I did everything I could to make sure that this company was a success, that these fans enjoyed themselves. And I got nothing from it. Nothing. So why do I have this right? Because without me this company would have died a long time ago and you bloody well know it. So, we could listen to you reading out loud all day, but the less I have to hear your voice the better, so let’s just get down to it. Sign the contract. Xavier Pierce: And why should I sign it? Why shouldn’t I just let you walk out the door. Trace Demon: You know, I thought about that. But then I realized that it just doesn’t matter. Did you read my last contract? Xavier is just about to answer when Trace cuts him off, happy to be able to do so.Trace Demon: The one authorised by our former owners, The Shadow Conglomerate. The sudden change in Xavier’s expression tells us that he hasn’t.Trace Demon: Let me enlighten you. Trace reaches into the other side of his jacket, and pulls out another file.Trace Demon: This is the contract that I had drawn up when I was running this place, and there’s a reason that you haven’t read it. You haven’t read it because as I was the director at the time it was for my eyes only, so I had it stored away where people like you and King Kraig couldn’t get your grubby little hands on it. Now a lot of it doesn’t really matter right now, but there’s one piece in particular that you should pay attention to. Trace opens up the file onto a particular page and then pushes it across the table to Xavier. As Pierce picks the file up and begins reading Trace watches with a grin. He already knows where this is going.Matthew Werner: So Trace Demon has been holding onto that contract for two years? Matt Steel: Now that’s a long con. Xavier finishes reading over the page and then slowly looks up at Trace, a look of realization in his eyes.Xavier Pierce: You can’t be serious about this. Trace Demon: Oh I’m deadly serious. For those of you who have not been enlightened by my little contract, that specific section details that if I am terminated at any time then I retain double my wages for the next twenty years. You see Xavier, I put that clause in myself under the assumption that somebody would remove it. I just wanted to see if I could get away with it. And then King Kraig came along, and he overlooked my contract. And then you came along, and you overlooked my contract. So either you sign my new contract, that at least keeps me working for my money, or you let me go home and earn far more. Xavier Pierce: So why don’t I just fire you and get you out of my hair? Trace Demon: Because it’d be bad for business. Sign the contract. Xavier looks down at the contract. He looks set to sign it and then spots something.Xavier Pierce: As part of your contract you want an International Championship match at Survival of the Fittest? Trace grins. Yes, yes he does.Xavier Pierce: We already have a match booked. Drakz vs. Drake Elias. The contracts have been signed. Trace Demon: Don’t care. Add me to it if you have to. I want in. Sign the f*****g contract or let me leave and collect my money. Xavier sighs, then reaches down for the pen. He’s about to sign when...Drakz: What the hell do you think you are doing? From the ramp the current International Champion appears on the ramp, storming towards the ring. He’s not looking too happy. His appearance gets a cheer from the crowds, just proving one of Trace’s many points about their flakiness.Drakz: I don’t care about half of what’s in that contract, but I am not about to let you weasel your way into another match with me that you don’t deserve. Trace walks to the ropes, remaining calm as he stares at the man that he is just dying to get his hands on.Trace Demon: Stop trying to duck me Drakz. I wouldn’t need to ‘weasel’ my way into another match with you if you’d just man up and face me. Then again, you’d need some balls for that, wouldn’t you? Drakz reaches the bottom of the ramp and climbs up the steel steps, stepping into the ring between the ropes. Trace backs up to let him enter and the two men stand in the ring together for the first time since their International Championship match.Drakz: There’s a reason I’ve not faced you Trace, because you don’t deserve it. You’re just some small time nuisance that thinks they’re worth more than they are. Trace Demon: Then why don’t you prove it? Prove it to me, prove it to these pathetic ingrates, prove it to the world. Prove that you can beat me because quite frankly, I don’t think you can. Xavier Pierce watches as the two men get closer to each other. He doesn’t want a brawl here, he just wanted a calm meeting. That didn’t go to plan.Drakz: You want me to prove myself? Trace Demon: Yeah, I do. Drakz: Okay Trace, but first, you prove yourself. You go to the ring tonight and you beat Phillip Schneider, and then I’ll let you in on the Survival of the Fittest match with me and Elias. That good for you Xavier? Xavier Pierce just nods. He knows he doesn’t really have any say in this.Trace Demon: Good, then we’ve got ourselves a deal. Drakz nods and exits the ring between the ropes, keeping an eye on Trace Demon as he backs up the ropes. The King of Demons walks back to the desk, hands the pen to Xavier and watches as he signs his new contract, knowing full well that he has no other option.Matthew Werner: Well Trace Demon has himself a new premier talent contract and we have ourselves a huge stipulation to the Trace Demon, Phillip Schneider match later tonight. Matt Steel: As if we needed any more reason to be excited for that one. Trace Demon picks up the contract off of the desk and holds it in the air like he’s just won some huge victory as the crowd boo him. His eyes remain on Drakz however as the two men never break eye contact as we fade out.To open the show, we have the returning Stephen Fowler taking on newcomer DeVante Parker. It was clear who had the experience edge throughout this, as Fowler really and truly dominated Parker. It wasn't even close really. Fowler hit a number of his signature moves while the crowd watched on. Fowler eventually hit his signature Acquiesce to get the big victory in his return.[/b] Keri Thames: Here is your winner, Stephen Fowler! Matthew Werner: Impressive win by Fowler there. "It's been a long time, it's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've been home!" Matthew Werner: Well, now wait just a minute here - that's David Brennan's music, but we're not expecting The New Epoch until the main event tonight. Matt Steel: Maybe he's bringing a little something something to help us get through the night tonight. Matthew Werner: Somehow, I doubt that. David Brennan steps out from behind the curtain, lit up like a lightbulb and loaded to the brim with drinks to spare. He very uncharacteristically sports a wide, ear to ear grin, his arms spread out wide, relishing in the less than welcoming response he receives from the crowd here tonight.[/color] Matt Steel: He did bring drinks! Matthew Werner: When doesn't he? Sauntering down the ramp to ringside, Brennan places his bottles up on the mat before hoisting himself up into the ring, stepping through the ropes, and taking one last opportunity to bask in the venom spewed at him from the crowd. He then beckons to a ring hand for a mic, retrieving one of his bottles and cracking it open, both hands now occupied.[/color] David Brennan: Seattle, Washington! The crowd pops at the mere mention of their collective identity. If Brennan has learned nothing else from his charismatic partners in crime, he's learned to turn the tide, so to speak.[/color] David Brennan: From the rousing response you were just so kind to bestow upon me, it's clear we can go right ahead and skip the introductions. However, before we carry on - it would be selfish of me to alone bask in the revelry that the great northwest has to offer me tonight - so without further ado, allow me to invite down to the ring, yet another man who needs no introduction - your WFWF International Heavyweight Champion - Drakz! The lights fade at the haunting, atmospheric sounds of "Heart Space" echo out across the arena. The focus flickers to a constant on the ramp as the music kicks into high gear, heralding the arrival of the best dressed International Champion in recent history. Dressed in his trademark suit, his championship belt clasped firmly around his waist, Drakz makes his way to the ring, soaking up the adulation this crowd thrusts upon him, their love of their own hatred toward him creating a thunderous atmosphere of confusion.[/color] Matthew Werner: My guess is we'll be seeing the entirety of The New Epoch much earlier than anticipated... Drakz steps into the ring, embracing his friend David as his music fades and light once more floods the arena. He takes the mic as David offers it to him, his turn to address a crowd that is slowly heating up in anticipation of what's next.[/color] Drakz: Good evening Toronto, you really love me! Once more, his reaction is truly mixed.[/color] Drakz: But really, tonight isn't about me, or David, or even me and David - tonight is about sharing with you, the good people of Seattle, the graces of which only can be offered by The New Epoch, and so, without any more hesitation, please, release your collective orgasms for the next WFWF World Heavyweight Champion, my friend and yours - Michael Kyzer! If there was any confusion as to the crowd's true feelings toward The New Epoch, it's gone as a storm of Boos erupts from the crowd, nearly drowning out the PA as Michael Kyzer emerges from behind the curtain. Unlike his comrades in the ring, his demeanor is much more subdued, his eyes first directed skyward, then toward the crowd as he begins his trek down to the ring. He stops at ringside, directing his gaze upward once more, ignoring his partners in the ring hyping his arrival, clearly intoxicated by their own personal crutches. He finally breaks his gaze, pulling himself into the ring. He is immediately greeted by Drakz and Brennan, who he is able to calm down, pulling them into a subdued huddle as his music dies down and the lights return for a third time.[/color] Matthew Werner: Other things are clearly on Michael Kyzer's mind tonight... Matt Steel: That's gotta be a new notion for him, given what was normally on his mind. Drakz and Brennan now sharing his more intent demeanor, Kyzer takes the microphone from Drakz, the three men now focusing their stares on the ramp they've all just traveled, and the curtain that would lead to the backstage area.[/color] Michael Kyzer: Seattle, Washington. I'm afraid what was to have been a celebration, a no doubt racuous one to herald the arrival of your hometown messiah, has been cut short on account of business, as usual. Whether you'll forgive me or not, I couldn't really care less, but perhaps you could all join me in directing your attention above the ring... Kyzer's free hand motions to point straight up, directing his two friends', and the entire crowd's eyes upward, to a fully assembled steel cage hanging several feet above the ring. The crowd thunders in approval at the sight of the cage, suspended skyward, looking ready to descend at a moment's notice.[/color] Michael Kyzer:...and have someone tell me exactly what the f*ck that is!!! Kyzer drops the mic to the mat at this, stepping to the forward most ropes and climbing out upon them, shouting toward the backstage area. Without the mic, it's impossible to properly hear him, but the words easily read upon his lips are repeated for all to hear as Brennan has retrieved the dropped microphone, and shares the group's sentiments with the remainder of the audience watching.[/color] David Brennan: Pierce, get your corporate ass out here and tell everyone just what the f*ck you're playing at! The crowd's cheers thunder as the jumbo screens cut immediately to an elegant wooden door, emblazoned with a shiny metallica nameplate engraved with the words "Xavier Pierce, CEO". The mere sight of the door gets a rise out of the three men in the ring, and they continue to mouth obscenities and threats in the general direction of the screen as the scene remains focused on the door, and nothing more.[/color] Drakz: Alright, mates, settle down. We've seen this game played before, and I know that all three of us are bright enough to have learned a thing or two from the great sensei of getting your way, Obo The Hobo. Time to play by the rules, boys. Get us some chairs! A ringhand steps into the ring, providing three folding chairs. Brennan sets each one out, side by side, and the three men take their places, firmly in the center of the ring, as the backstage focus remains solely on the shut office door of Xavier Pierce.[/color] Drakz: Well then, no wonder Obo pulls this one all the time - this seems it'll be quite easy. If I'm to understand the rules, we sit here, and refuse to budge until Xavier Pierce folds and gives in to our relatively warranted demands. David, I take it you've brought along some refreshments? Brennan grabs two of his beers that he's brought along, popping each open and passing one down to Drakz. He doesn't bother offering one to Kyzer, who's approach is much less comical than the others. He sits firm, his gaze straight ahead, focused on the screen ahead.
After a moment or two more, the men are to their feet, seemingly forced upright by the surge of excitement from the crowd as door to Pierce's office finally opens, just a crack. A hand from within passes a note to a passing crew member, and then motions for him to be on his way. The crew member takes off at a brisk jog down the corridors, searching up and down the halls before he finally catches glance of Stacey Grey. He breaks into a sprint to catch up with her, handing the note off as he struggles to catch his breath.[/color] Crew Member: Note for you....Ms. Grey...per order....sorry....per order of Mr. Pierce. Stacey glances at the note, before quickly huddling with her crew of handlers and stage hands. A microphone is quickly procured and placed into her hands, and she begins reading from the unfolded sheet of paper, a bit aprehensively as she's had little time to rehearse. The New Epoch, still in the ring, have come to the forfront of the ring now, listening with as much anticipation as anyone in the audience tonight.[/color] Stacey Grey: Err....ladies and gentlemen - per executive order of WFWF CEO Xavier Pierce, tonight's main event, pitting The New Epoch against the team of Drake Elias, Ace Bennett, and Raider, has hereby been ordered to take place in...to take place inside a steel cage! Matt Steel: Did she say steel cage?! Matthew Werner: She said steel cage! Matt Steel: And would you look at this, The New Epoch are not happy about this one bit! David Brennan: Pierce you coward - get out here and make the call yourself! Quit hiding behind doors and women! Chairs are tossed about and bottles are smashed as The New Epoch reacts to the announcement. Kyzer calls for calm, and motions for Drakz and Brennan to follow, the three men making a hasty exit toward the backstage area, Brennan sharing with the crowd a double dose of single finger salutes as the men make their exit the arena toward backstage.[/color] Matthew Werner: Folks, things are just getting heated up tonight on Loaded, as we've just learned that our main event will be a six man steel cage match.[/center]

Stone and Kidwell were in the ring to start this battle. This match was absolutely dead even…until the bell rang. From there, Stone did things to Kidwell that if not in between the bells, would be illegal. Stone started it off with a series of brutal punches and kicks, taking it to Kidwell like Randel Benjamin and the catering table. After he tired with the strikes, Stone began showing off his athletic prowess, running around the ring, dropping Kidwell in various locations with a series of clotheslines and big boots. Then, to show off his strength, Stone moved onto dropping Kidwell with a back suplex, a belly to belly suplex, a german suplex and he finishes with a butterfly suplex that literally caused Kidwell to be launched high up in the air and onto his spine with a loud thud. Cameron Stone then finishes the match off with the Set in Stone for the win. [/b] Keri Thames: Here is your winner, Cameron Stone! Matthew Werner: A ridiculously good win there for Stone, sending quite the message to Daniel Sabat. We cut a pre-recorded segment where we see both Ace Bennett and Ripp Jackson approach the office of the WFWF CEO Xavier Pierce from opposite ends of the hallway. Bad blood is boiling. Jackson nods his head towards the door and looks at Bennett, who nods his head in agreement. Jackson opens the door and walks in with Bennett following suit. In the office is Xavier Pierce, who is currently reading some papers. Sitting in front of him are Raider and Thunder, neither acknowledging the others existence either. Xavier looks up from his papers when he hears the door open.[/color] Xavier Pierce: Ah, there you are. We’ve been waiting for you two for a little while now. Thunder: Yeah, and let’s just say the conversation hasn’t exactly been all that enthralling either. Raider looks over at Thunder, more than primed to rip off his head if he makes another side remark.[/color] Ripp Jackson: Now, now Thunder. No need to be rude to your elders mate. Jackson takes a seat in the far corner of the room and Ace plants himself up against the wall. Knowing a fight is just about to break out in the middle of his pristine office, Xavier speaks up.[/color] Xavier Pierce: I’m sorry for ripping you two away from your busy days. I know you all have huge matches tonight, but I have something that I need to discuss with you. Raider: WFWF Tag Team Championship match next week? Xavier Pierce: Yeah, it’s about that. The mood instantly intensifies.[/color] Xavier Pierce: As you all know, I was brought into the WFWF to be the CEO after King Kraig departed, and I was brought in so I could clean up the mess that Kraig and EBR left when they departed. And while it wasn’t my first priority, Randel Benjamin and Dave Demento pushed the issue and forced me to take action when it came to the tag team division, which I did by stripping the absentee champions of their championships and putting together a stellar WFWF Tag Team Championship match at IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE. And now the tag team division is booming, with proof of that being in the main event next week with you four going at it for the WFWF Tag Team Championships. Ace Bennett: Get to it, Pierce. Xavier looks up at Bennett, who is visibly annoyed that he’s been called here.[/color] Xavier Pierce: Well, in order for us to keep interest in this division, we have to go things to get ratings. And what gets bigger ratings than huge stipulation matches? Very little is the correct answer, by the way. Ripp Jackson: Aye, but what’s that got to do with this match? What are ya throwin’ at us, X? Xavier Pierce: This match between the four of you is now being made a TLC match. There’s a collective ‘sh*t’ moment from the four participants.[/color] Ripp Jackson: The hell’s your problem, mate? I thought you were a cool bloke, and you’re throwing us all into this war just one week before three of the four of us have the biggest matches of our careers? What in the hell's wrong with you mate? Ace Bennett: While I’m never one to shy away from a challenge, I’m rather inclined to agree with Jackson. I have to fight one of the best superstars in the WFWF at Survival of the Fittest, and Raider has a WFWF Championship match. Not to mention me and him have a freaking cage match tonight. Are you trying to kill me before I have to face Brennan? As much as it’s killing me to admit it, I have to agree with the Taig. The jaws of everyone in the room drop at Ace blatantly saying that…period. Jackson stands up.[/color] Ripp Jackson: Taig, eh? Heh. You know, you're gonna have a hard time talking obscenities at me when you have no teeth in your mouth because I’m well within my rights to knock ya off of your block there mate. Jackson starts walking towards Ace, but before he can get to him, Thunder is up out of his chair and puts Jackson in a double chickenwing type move.[/color] Thunder: Calm it, mate. Save it for the match. Ripp Jackson: Xavier, while I disagreed with your choice a little bit ago…now I’m kind of looking forward to knocking this pompus sociopath off of his rocker. Ace Bennett: Good on ya, Paddy. Ripp Jackson: Pog mo thoin. Ace bears his teeth at the visibly angry Jackson, showing him his signature smile.[/color] Xavier Pierce: Thunder, get him out of here now. Thunder: My pleasure. Thunder starts walking with Ripp, making sure to not let him charge Bennett as they walk out. Back in the office…[/color] Raider: What in the hell is wrong with you, Ace? Picking a fight’s one thing, but you’ve now picked a fight with someone who can take you down a peg without the use of weapons…and now you’ve given him the will and drive to take you down harder. I thought you were interested in actually winning the titles? Ace gives Raider a look of cockiness.[/color] Ace Bennett: Believe me, I’m just as interested in getting that gold around my waist as you are, but if I’m going to be forced to compete in such a barbaric match type thanks to Mr. Ratings over there… Xavier shrugs.[/color] Ace Bennett: …I might as well have a little bit of fun with it. Samael and Jasmine were in the ring, ready for action. Samael, not used to facing a woman, seemed a little put off at first, not quite sure as to how to take her on. Jasmine took advantage, landing her fair share of strong blows to Samael, beating him down to start the match off. However, whenever Samael started to roll, he never stopped. After a few punches, kicks, a pair of clotheslines and a nasty fisherman suplex, Samael finished Jasmine off with the Serpants Temptation for the win.[/color] Keri Thames: Here is your winner, Samael Ahriman! Matthew Werner: Impressive win by Ahriman there. Matt Steel: Yeah, now we won't see him for another six months again until he decides to randomly show up. Matthew Werner: Well put. But that's beside the point right now. We now have a very important announcement as it’s time to reveal the next inductee into the WFWF Hall of Fame. The screen goes black as soft music begins to play, an orchestral version of ‘Welcome Home (Sanitarium)’. Vivid screams are heard in the darkness as a light in the background begins to flash repeatedly, each flash showing the silhouette of a man just for a second.Morgan Freeman: Very few men rise to the top of their industry at such a rapid pace as this man. From his pain staking start on the WFWF House Show circuit this man won his first WFWF title just one month after making his first appearance. That would set the benchmark for the rest of his career as he dedicated himself to the company and to the fans every time he entered the ring. From his start as a violent hardcore brawler he has become one of the world’s most renowned technical wrestlers and submission specialists. It is this prowess that has led him to multiple championship victories – the WFWF World Championship, the WFWF Tag Team Championship, the WFWF National Championship and the 2009 Survival of the Fittest Tournament. Suddenly the music explodes and the screen lights up, revealing the back of the man and his very distinctive colour hair. The man slowly turns, revealing the face of none other than the King of Demons himself – Trace Demon.Morgan Freeman: His dedication to his craft is what has given him one of the most successful careers in professional wrestling and one that is still going strong, if not stronger than ever before, today. Which is why we are proud to announce the induction of Trace Demon into the WFWF Hall of Fame class of 2012. Matthew Werner: So Trace Demon joins the ranks of the WFWF elite and joins Robbie Wreckless, Panzar, The Axis and Link in the class of 2012. Matt Steel: Do you think it’s got anything to do with his whole feeling underappreciated thing? Matthew Werner: The hall of fame is for the best the WFWF has to offer. Trace Demon has got in there because of his dedication to his craft. Up next we have Daniel Sabat's first defense of the National Championship. His challenger was none other than Dashing R, who won his first match to become number one contender. However, Dashing R was in for a wake up call here, as Sabat was clearly a step up from the level of competition he had faced last week. Sabat pretty much dominated his first challenger here and really looked impressive. Dashing R was disappointing, and he literally got no offense in. A Sabat Lock in the middle of the ring made Dashing R tap, giving Sabat his first title defense.Keri Thames: Your winner and still WFWF National Champion, Daniel Sabat! Matthew Werner: Sabat looking good out there. Matt Steel: Why does the way he look matter? I didn't know you went that way, Werner. Matthew Werner: I don't! Not that there's anything wrong with that.... Matt Steel: Everything makes more sense now.. Matthew Werner: ....We'll be right back folks.[/center]

Matt Werner: Welcome back from commercial break, folks! It looks like something is about to go down; the ring crew has rolled out a red carpet in the ring and there are three different stands set up with black sheets covering them. Do you have any idea about this, Matt?
Matt Steel: I’m just as clueless as you are, Matt.
Matt Werner: Well, after everything else that has already happened tonight I don’t think I can handle many more surprises…
As Werner finishes his sentence, the lights in the arena fade to black. Camera flashes illuminate the arena. On the titan tron a video begins to play: A Matte Black 2012 Camaro ZL1 drives rapidly up a mountainside. The car speeds around the winding roads until it suddenly breaks for a “STOP” sign, dead in the night. The video ends as the sound of a lion’s roar is heard throughout. ”Nightcall” by Kavinsky hits, white and blue spotlights begin to spread, and a main spotlight hits the top of the entrance stage. Raider runs out, full of energy, wearing his trademark white satin racer jacket and black dress pants. He stops at the top of the ramp and peers at the crowd from side to side as they are on their feet. He walks down the ramp and high fives fans along the way to the ring. He takes the ring steps to enter the ring, microphone already in hand. Raider walks to the center of the ring and looks at the three stands set up in the ring with black sheets covering whatever it is underneath them. He takes a few steps back and sizes up the stands as his music cuts and the fans overtake the sound of the arena with “Raider” chants. A few boos are heard, respectively, since we are in Seattle after all. He is grinning from ear to ear. He then motions with his hands for the crowd to simmer down so he can speak. He raises the microphone in his hand to his mouth.
Raider: Ladies and Gentleman… Guys, gals, and all alike, you are all in for a treat tonight!
He pauses for a second as the crowd roars.
Raider: If you didn’t already know, I’d like to welcome you all to a special edition of Loaded, The Michael Kyzer Show!
Thunderous sounds of boos overtake the cheers. The crowd is giving a mixed reaction at the mention of their hometown hero.
Raider: And since tonight is WFWF Loaded: The Michael Kyzer Show, I’d like to continue with the theme of the evening and officially declare tonight Michael Kyzer Appreciation Night as well!
Raider looks up and a huge banner drops from the scaffolding above the ring that has a posed picture of Michael Kyzer and the banner reads, “Michael Kyzer Appreciation Night.” The mixed reactions become deafening. A fired gun could be masked by the crowds’ noise they are so hot tonight.
Raider: My good buddy Kyzer, you see, loves his ego. And he loves attention. And since we’re best friends after all, I figured I’d give him everything he loves because he deserves it. In trying my best to give him everything he deserves, I’m going to take a little trip down memory lane and get a little old school on you folks this evening. A little over the top, a little unpredictable, and some of you may not like it, but I have to do it in order to show my appreciation and gratitude. It’s only fitting for me to do this for someone so profound like Michael Kyzer. I mean after all, Michael Kyzer is the best performer in the world, a true visionary, a game changer, right!?
The crowd doesn’t know how to react at this point, but the mixed reactions continue and even a few “Kyzer” chants break out over some of the boos.
Raider: Well, let’s get this celebration started, shall we? Folks, you are all in for a real treat tonight. First, let’s turn our attention to these stands behind me. It took me a few days to get a hold of these beauties and a few thousand dollars, but to show my admiration to Kyzer, money knows no bounds.
Raider walks over to the first stand and pulls the black sheet off. It is a framed picture of Michael Kyzer holding up high his first ever major WFWF Championship, the WFWF Intergalactic Spaceman Championship taken from the night he beat Reverend Shadow for said title back in 2006.
Raider: He looks great with that belt, right? Nobody wore that Championship quite like Kyzer, nobody! Check the facts. (Raider chuckles to himself for a second.) As I said before, he is a visionary, and a game changer. Six years ago, not only did Kyzer take the WFWF by storm and run through the competition as he climbed the preverbal WFWF ladder, but he even changed the name of the Championship to a more pristine name. Something that would bring honor and respect to this company. Could you imagine 2006, a time in the WFWF that was filled with drug fueled junkies such as Raider, without someone like Michael Kyzer? He was the saving grace of this company. The glue that held the foundation together. A leader. Just what the WFWF needed. Someone to take a crumbling dump and transform it into gold, sans Midas Touch, but close enough.
The mixed reactions have turned into full blown boos. Wherever Raider is going with this, the fans are not taking a liking to it. He then points to the titan tron.
Raider: Roll the footage.
Footage on the titan tron begins to play. A black screen appears with text that reads, “WFWF: The Last Hybrid Ever, March 22nd, 2006.” Then we are taken to a match featuring Raider and Kyzer; the only previous encounter the two men have ever had. The footage picks up toward the end of the match. Raider pushes Kyzer into the turnbuckle and begins to slam his knees into Kyzer‘s midsection. Raider pulls Kyzer out of the turnbuckle and starts to climb up the ropes. Once he makes it to the top, Kyzer shakes the ropes, causing Raider to lose his balance and unwillingly straddle the turnbuckle. Raider then climbs the ropes, facing Raider. Once he gets to the second rope, he locks Raider in a suplex position. He then pulls Raider up to the top rope as he makes it to the top rope as well. Kyzer falls backwards, throwing Raider with him for a Top Rope Superplex. Both men crash onto the mat. Kyzer somehow manages to throw his arm over Raider for the cover. 1… 2… Raider barely brings his shoulder up. Kyzer can‘t believe it as he slowly makes his way to his feet. Raider also slowly makes it to his feet. Kyzer goes to kick Raider in the midsection but Raider catches his leg and spins him around. Kyzer spins and comes back to face Raider and then Raider places Kyzer in the Raider Rocker position. Before he can execute the move, Kyzer slips out of his grasp and quickly places Raider over his shoulders and drives him into the mat with the F*cking Addiction, followed by the cover. 1… 2… 3! Kyzer wins. The footage ends and Raider’s sh*t-eating grin is still across his face. He laughs and applauds at the shown footage.
Raider: Michael Kyzer saved my life that night. I am indebted to him. He showed the world why he is the best in the business and the definition of a role model. I was on a slippery slope, bouncing around from clubs to bars, from hotels to motels, from cars to trains and airplanes. In between them all was a vast supply of pills, drugs, and booze. Later on that same night, I threw my stuff down and a week later was forced through a ‘friends and family’ intervention that put me in rehab and left me without a job in the WFWF. But this night isn’t about me, it’s about Kyzer, so lets get back on topic. After that night, the night he saved my life… I knew he would become the leader we all needed, the man with the plan to help save us all. Which brings me to stand number two.
Raider walks to the middle stand and pulls off the black sheet. It is a framed picture of Michael Kyzer & Drakz together after what looks to be a tag match, both men have their hands raised.
Raider: Our golden boy, Michael Kyzer, along with Drakz, led this company to places no one had ever seen before. A land unknown. The WFWF had taken a new direction. His plan worked and he saved you and you and you and you and you and everyone in this city. He saved everyone at home. He achieved ultimate success and he saved us all.
Raider points his finger at different audience members with an aggressively vindictive tone. For a moment Raider looks as if he might snap, but he quickly saves face and goes back to his sh*t-eating grin. Big. Ear to ear. Over the top… Sadistic. The crowd has turned on Raider as it looks like he has lost his mind.
Raider: I was going to roll some more footage, but you all seem a bit hostile. Let’s all take a minute… Take a deep breath collectively…. It’s been an eventful night so far and we still have a good portion of the show left, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Moving on to the last picture. This one is hot off the presses, it was actually just recently taken and I had to find a pretty penny to cover the expenses. But, again, for my buddy Kyzer, any and everything is possible.
Raider walks over and rips the sheet off of the last stand. This framed picture is of The New Epoch. From left to right, Drakz, Kyzer (middle up), DMK (middle down), David Brennan.
Raider: What a cute family!? What do you all think? We have husband and wife beside each other with their oldest son on the right and their new little baby in the middle. I don’t know if anyone has noticed, and even though they are all smiles here, there must be some issues in the bedroom. Look how ugly these kids turned out! I mean, the oldest child is a drunk and the little man, well I heard he has some anger issues. Maybe mama needs to give him some more attention and tuck that nip in his mouth? Or maybe daddy dearest hit him one too many times after a drug-fueled bender?
The crowd lightens up, some of the boos calm, and the audience returns to a mixed reaction.
Raider: Wait, wait, wait… What am I saying? I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… I never meant to show any disrespect. He has a beautiful family. You all think he has a beautiful family, right? I just got caught up with taking the trip down memory lane, I felt that old fire in me, relishing on all the great things Kyzer has done for you people and myself over the years. It was getting me really excited, and to look at this picture and see what he has become, well, it breaks my heart a little. I think it had to do with settling down. After all the one he chose to be his wife does resemble the crackhead tranny I passed by driving into the arena earlier tonight. Okay, that was the last one. Anyway, like I said, beautiful family, and I am sure one day his kids will grow up and maybe be half as successful as he is. But if he’d of stayed focused on himself, maybe he would have continued to be the greatest, bestest, awesomest, most bad-ass-est superstar of all time. We all have to grow up at some point and time though and I respect his decision to walk away for a few years to raise his family. I even heard the little one is a fan of mine. So to show my gratitude, I’d like to ask for The New Epoch to please make their way down to the ring at this time. I know we all have a big match later on and you guys are busy trying to control the show, but just give me a minute of your time, I promise it will be worth it! C’mon folks, lets get a chant going to give them some encouragement, T-N-E, T-N-E, T-N-E!
The crowd hesistants at first but joins in with Raider. Within seconds, Kyzer’s music blares over the PA and the fans jump to their feet, they can’t believe The New Epoch is actually coming out. On the titan tron a montage of clips are shown of the three guys and the accolades they have achieved over time. What is Raider thinking to call them out before their match later on? Suddenly, three different men dressed like mascots walk out from the entrance. The first is dressed as a green marijuana leaf with dopey designed eyes and constantly looks behind him as if he is paranoid. The second mascot is dressed as a can of Coca-Cola and has a replica WFWF Intergalactic Spaceman Championship around his waist and the third is dressed in a Jack Daniels bottle with a real bottle of Jack Daniels in hand. They make their way down the aisle and Raider holds the ropes for them as they get in the ring. He applauds them as the crowd laughs. The marijuana leaf claps his hands and does a little boogie. The Jack Daniels bottle stumbles around the ring. The can of coke crosses his arms, almost as if he is above the other two; superior.
Raider: Thanks so much guys, I’m glad you could make it. Let’s keep this whole appreciation night going so we’ll jump right in and start with you, Brennan.
Raider looks to the mascot dressed as a bottle of Jack Daniels. The mascot stumbles around. Raider tries to put the microphone near the mascots face but the guy waves off Raider as if he can’t speak. He opens up the real bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand and takes a swig.
Raider: Jack got your tongue, Brennan? Figures. You’re a man of little words and even less skill. Enjoy your buzz. I know you’re still hurting from being a loser, anyway. Hey, we all can’t be winners. Just keep drinking; I know you can be a winner when it comes to that.
The Jack mascot raises his left hand in the air as he takes another swig from the bottle. Raider turns to the marijuana leaf mascot. The mascot gives two thumbs up to Raider.
Raider: How’s it going, Drakz? You been listening to the Rolling Stones again? You seem like you’re in a really good mood tonight.
“Drakz”: More like Rolling Stoned… Haha.. Get it?
Raider shakes his head and points at the mascot like he just heard true words of wisdom. The crowd is eating this up.
Raider: I sure did, you are quite the wise man, Drakz.
”Drakz”: Thanks! So how is everyone doing in this joint tonight? If I must be blunt, sometimes I like to be a little high. What’s so wrong with that? You all know you like scoobie snacks… They’re my favorite. Wait… What was that?
The pot mascots eyes widen and he jumps up, doing a 180 and looks around frantically.
Raider: It’s okay Drakz… There’s nothing there. Just the fans. Calm down. Folks, this is a little bit more challenging then I thought it would be. I was trying to get Drakz and Brennan to help me show appreciation for Kyzer, but they are off in their own worlds at the moment it appears. Looks like they pregamed a little too hard. Go figure. Moving on…
Raider looks at the Jack Daniels bottle, who is now slouching up against one of the corners of the ring on the turnbuckle. The pot mascot is crunched down in another corner of the ring near the turnbuckle. The can of coke mascot is still front and center, smiling; unaffected. Raider walks over to the can of coke and sizes him up.
Raider: You always look so wise and refreshed Kyzer, how do you do it? Can you let me in on your secret? Perhaps a line to get me going?
The can of coke points at the word “Coke” on the costume and goes to speak but Raider cuts him off.
Raider: Don’t blow it now… You know, after all, coke isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Can you explain why it’s so great?
”Kyzer”: Well, there is just so much you can do with it. You can drink it, swallow it, which is my personal favorite of course… You can slurp it, you can put it up against your lips and it brings this nice tingly feeling to your…
Raider: Wow, buddy… Calm down there, you know there’s kids in the audience right? I don’t know where you are going with that but let me just stop you right there. I do like your championship belt though. Again, such an accomplishment… First ever and only Intergalactic Spaceman Champion. What’s it like in space after all? Or is that a euphemism for being spaced out? I never understood the actual meaning of that, can you explain? Wait, nevermind, more importantly, where is your little buddy, DMK? I love that little guy! Shouldn’t he be out here too for the celebration?
”Kyzer”: He’s right here, see!
The mascot puts his hands inside of his costume and tries to pull something out but nothing appears. He keeps digging and a few seconds later he pulls out a real can of coca cola. Only the can is empty and has been crushed as if someone stomped on it.
”Kyzer”: Oh no… Oops… I think I might have sat on him earlier. He was just so small… these things happen, you know?
The mascot looks genuinely upset. Raider pats him on the back.
Raider: Sure, I’m sure they do when you live the lifestyle that you guys live. Freak all day, party all night, right? Oh wait, I forgot, you gave up that lifestyle. Bummer. You were so much cooler then. I feel like you’re losing your touch now and becoming irrelevant. But, I will give you this, my favorite part of the new Kyzer is the production videos you have shown recently and I even have one of my own to show to you here shortly. It’s from your good friend, EBR. He made another video and I fronted the money because I wanted you to see how thankful I am that you have decided to change your life around and I am here to show my support. Anything you need buddy, just let me know.
Raider turns to the titan tron and another video begins. It says, “An EBRR Production”, followed by, “Drugs are bad for your health and they have a negative effect on the brain. To show why you should avoid them, here are a few examples as to what they can do to you:”, which is then followed by another montage of video clips of The New Epoch. Clips of them after losing a match, clips of them lashing out on talents such as AJ King or Philip Schneider on different episodes of Loaded… And the final clip is of Kyzer laid out, almost dead, after his loss to Philip Schneider at It’s Super Effective. The video ends by saying, “This message has been brought to you, paid for and sponsored by Raider; The New Epoch’s Anti-Drug.” When we cut back to the ring, Raider has one of the picture frames in hand and he charges the bottle of Jack Daniels mascot and smashes it over his head. The coke mascot tries to run out of the ring but Raider grabs him and throws him into the pot mascot. Raider then grabs another picture frame and waits for the pot mascot to get up. Raider then smashes that frame over his head. Pieces of glass are scattering all over the ring. Raider then goes to the last frame, the one of Kyzer holding his first ever WFWF World Championship, and waits for the coke mascot to get up. The mascot struggles and then turns into Raider who swings full force and blasts the frame straight through the can of coke. Raider steps back, charges, and clotheslines the coke mascot out of the ring. The other mascots have rolled out of the ring and to the floor by this point. Raider gets the microphone one last time. The sh*t-eating grin he wore on his face has faded into a vicious but methodical smirk. His adrenaline is pumping and he is seething.
Raider: To the people of Seattle, and everyone else around the world: I have nothing to hide behind and I can admit to my history and former struggles. I am not going to run around and act like or say something that I am not as a front. You all want to decide who the good guys and the bad guys are, well, I’ll leave that to you. But in my eyes, these guys are the scum of the WFWF and are the furthest thing from being any type of role models, leaders, or visionaries for this company. For them to claim to be the good guys is complete and utter bullsh*t, whether we are in one of their hometowns or not. It may not happen tonight, but sooner rather than later you will all see exactly what I mean. I will prove to the world that guys like Drakz, David Brennan and Michael Kyzer, specifically, have no place in the WFWF and are not welcome here anymore. Heed the warning Kyzer… You put me down and out of this game at my weakest all those years ago and I am back now, here to deliver the same fate to you. As you said, be fearful of the past because it has a tendency to repeat itself. In your case though… It just may not be the same result you are hoping for.
Raider drops the microphone, rolls out of the ring and walks straight to the back, ignoring the fans to a mixed reaction but finally the cheers are a notch above the boos.
Matt Werner: Wow, I can’t even begin to describe what we just saw here!
Matt Steel: Raider looked a little crazed out there, but I can tell you one thing, the tone in his voice tells me he is all business tonight. I can’t wait to see what happens in the main event!
[color=orangeIn the ring, we have Slanted taking on Alexis Chavente. In one of the more hotly contested matches of the night, Slanted tried to put an end to his losing ways since his debut. Chavente continued her strong impression from last week, but Slanted was much more game than her opponent last week. These two went back and forth in one of the more competative matches of the night. Slanted looked really determined to pick up his first win and Chavente wanted to continue her hot streak. In the end, Slanted attempted to drop the F-Bomb (see what I did there?) but Chavente was able to wiggle out of it and nail the Floating Card and get the big win. [/color] Keri Thames: Here is your winner, Alexis Chavente! Matt Steel: Ouch, Slanted must feel like the scum of the earth right now. Dude hasn't picked up a single win. Matthew Werner: Keep in mind that he has only faced three very good wrestlers in that ring, he didn't get any chumps to face in his first matches. He'll get there, he looked impressive once again tonight. The cameras cut to the backstage area where we Drake Elias and his manager Miraya Shah walking through the hallways. Miraya Shah walks with a purpose and an angry disposition as Elias following without expression.[/b] Miraya: I just want to know why the match was suddenly changed. This changes up how things will play out dramatically. Drake Elias: Don’t you think this time would be better suited forming some kind of strategy with my partners for the match? Miraya: This won’t take long. I just want a minute with him. They stop in front of a door that read WFWF CEO XAVIER PIERCE. Miraya knocks on the door to no response. She knocks again, but still no response. She looks at Drake who offers her nothing. She tries the handle but finds the door locked. [/b] Miraya: This is ridiculous. Where is Pierce? Drake Elias: I don’t know. I am going to get ready for this match. With Drake walks off while Miraya goes in search of the CEO.[/b] Matthew Werner: Let's bring it back to the ring. In tag team action, the current WFWF Tag Team Champions, Ripp Jackson and Thunder take on the Chicago based team of Mak Cross and Cam Nitta. It was definitely the most competitive match on the night, neither team wanted to give the other the upper hand. Thunder seemed lethargic once again, and Jackson really carried the weight for his team here tonight. Nitta and Cross worked well together, despite only having teamed together this one time. Jackson seemed to get a majority of the offense in when he was the legal man, but Nitta and Cross did when Thunder was in. At the end of the day, Jackson was unable to fight off both of his opponents, and Thunder eventually fell to a Claymore from Nitta, Cross really sending a message to his Survival of the Fittest opponent Jackson.Keri Thames: Here are your winners, Mak Cross and Cam Nitta! Matthew Werner: Big win there for Cross and Nitta. Matt Steel: And an even bigger loss for Jackson and Thunder. They have to defend their tag team championships against Ace Bennett and Raider in a TLC match. Matthew Werner: Things definitely aren't looking good for the WFWF Tag Team Champions. We'll be right back. [/center]

Matthew Werner: And we're back. Up next we got a pay per view quality matchup. Keri Thames: The following match is scheduled for one fall, with an added stipulation that if Trace Demon wins he will be added to the Survival of the Fittest International Championship match. Introduction first... As the opening chords of “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” hit the speakers the lights across the arena shut off one by one. Six crimson spotlights replace them, each one turning on a different part of the arena in sequence. One by one each of the spotlights moves to the top of the stage, combining and showing the first signs of Trace Demon as he walks out into the spotlight, a hood obscuring his face. Trace walks to the tip of the ramp, the spotlight following his every step, and then holds out his arm, his fingers pointed like a gun towards the ring. His other hand rises to the hood and in a simultaneous motion he pulls down the hood and throws his other hand up, mouthing “Boom” as pyrotechnics go off behind him, the lights promptly turning back on.Keri Thames: Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 230lbs and standing 6’3 he is the King of Demons... Trace... Demon! Matthew Werner: Trace Demon is coming into this match with an entirely new attitude towards the WFWF and their fans. Matt Steel: And a new iron clad contract to boot. Trace stands on the ramp and takes a look around at the crowd, unfazed at all of the abuse that they are throwing his way. He slowly begins to make his way to the ring, completely ignoring the fans on either side of him as they attempt to touch the King of Demons, instead focused solely on the ring. As he reaches the foot of the ring he stops, removes his robe and then looks up at the ring. In a single flawless motion he leaps up onto the apron and then enters the ring between the top and middle rope. He ascends the nearest turnbuckle, pointing to the fans and smirking as they return the abuse, and then leaps back down, settling in the centre of the ring.Matthew Werner: Part of that contract includes the stipulation that you heard just moments ago – if Trace Demon manages to defeat Phillip Schneider then he will be added into Survival of the Fittest’s International Championship Match. Matt Steel: But that is of course a bigger task than it sounds, because Phillip Schneider is not an easy man to beat. Keri Thames: And his opponent... The lights in the arena dim, "All or Nothing" by Skold vs. KMFDM plays over the P/A system, triggering a light show on the entrance way. The lights immediately come back up and begin to flash in the entrance way as Phillip Schneider makes his entrance out onto the ramp, staring gloomily out at the audience.Keri Thames: Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 220lbs and standing 6’3 he is the WFWF Heavyweight Champion... Phillip... Schneider! Matthew Werner: The question going into this one is whether Phillip Schneider is really going to be focused on this match when he knows that Hutton Brown is bound to be nearby. Matt Steel: Well of course he’s focused; there two men have a lot of animosity. Ringside fans extend their hands to Schneider, but he sulks to the ring directly down the middle, neither arguing nor pandering to the fans. Schneider makes his way to the ring, climbing to the apron and peeling off his jacket, setting it in the corner before climbing into the ring. Schneider stretches his hands and wrists a bit as he waits for the referee to check him for foreign objects.Matthew Werner: Well that’s no secret, but it’s hard not to think that he’ll be looking over his shoulder as to avoid another assault. Matt Steel: But I’m betting Trace has the same issues when it comes to Drakz. Both of these men have plenty of baggage coming into this one. DING! DING! DING! The sound of the ring bell signals the start of this highly anticipated match as both Trace Demon and Phillip Schneider eye each other up. They know that this isn’t going to be an easy battle and while they may hate each other, they can acknowledge each other’s talent. They walk up to each other and if this were any other match you’d be expecting a handshake but there is little chance of that here. Instead they stare into each other’s eyes, trying to psyche the other one out. It seems like Schneider snaps first as he fires out an open palmed slap at Trace’s face. The King of Demons sees it coming and blocks it before blasting his own palm across Schneider’s face. Trace backs away with a smirk as Schneider touches his cheek with a ‘how the hell did he get me first’ kind of look.Matthew Werner: Trace Demon with the first blow of the match with that slap. Matt Steel: I’m betting Schneider doesn’t like that too much. Matt Steel is right, Schneider sure as hell didn’t like that. Backing up he begins circling the ring as Trace Demon follows the lead, the two men slowly closing the gap between them. They both go in for the initial lockup but it seems like Schneider’s assurances of his own skills have gotten the better of him here because there is no denying that Trace Demon is the better technician. He shows it quickly as he pulls Schneider down into a side headlock, gripping Schneider’s head beneath his arm and squeezing tightly. Schneider tries pushing the King of Demons away but Trace is far too experienced for something like that as he sweeps his leg back, taking Schneider off of his feet, and flipping the slightly lighter man over onto his back, Trace following alongside to land on top of him, the headlock still tightly clinched.Matthew Werner: I’m not sure what Phillip Schneider was thinking trying to match Trace technically right there. Matt Steel: He underestimated Trace’s abilities and it came back to bite him in the ass. With the headlock clinched in Phillip Schneider finds himself in a very difficult situation very early on. He tries to prise his hands up and under the body of the King of Demons in order to break the grip but Trace’s positioning makes this nigh on impossible. Knowing that the headlock could easily lead to far worse things Schneider has no choice but to resort to his usual cheap tactics by twisting his arms around and raking his nails across the eyes of Trace Demon. While he’d much rather not Trace has no choice but to break the headlock as the pain shoots through his eye.Matthew Werner: Phillip Schneider with a less than ethical response to that headlock as he rakes the eyes of Trace Demon. Matt Steel: He wanted out, he got out. As Schneider gets to his feet the referee lambasts him for the illegal eye rake, threatening to disqualify him if it happens again. Schneider, ever the diplomat, pushes past him and goes after a kneeling Trace who is still holding his eye in pain. Schneider drills an elbow down upon his spine to make sure that he’s too stunned to block him when he grabs the King of Demons by the hair, yanking him to his feet. With some force Schneider whips Trace across the ring into the furthest turnbuckle. Trace hits the padding with enough force that he staggers forwards where Schneider comes out of nowhere, charging forwards and tackling Trace to the mat.Matthew Werner: Phillip Schneider taking back control here in this match as he takes Trace to the mat for some good old ground and pound. Matt Steel: You don’t really want to be wrestling Trace on the mat though; he’s just as dangerous down there as he is on his feet. That isn’t the way it’s looking right now though as Phillip Schneider has mounted Trace and begins unleashing lefts and rights upon the skull of the King of Demons. When Trace brings his hands up to block the blows the World Champion moves down to the ribs, throwing haymaker like blows against the sides. This seems to be what Trace was looking for however as he reaches down and grabs the left arm of Schneider as he throws another punch. The sudden grip on his wrist catches Schneider off guard long enough for Trace to pull forward, slipping out from beneath Schneider while keeping his hands grips tightly around the wrist. He manoeuvres to the side, pulling Schneider down onto the mat chest first, and tries to clinch in an armbar. Schneider finally gathers his senses and manages to slip away before the armbar can be locked in.Matthew Werner: Phillip Schneider did some damage with that ground and pound but like you said Matt, Trace Demon is very effective on the mat. Matt Steel: If he’d have managed to lock that armbar in then this one could have been all over. Trace is very effective with those submission holds. Both men push themselves up onto their feet with almost simultaneous timing, stopping the other from going in for the quick attack. Trace smirks and Schneider scowls as they stare each other down. The two men again begin circling the ring, never taking their eyes off each other, before closing the gap between them. Trace goes for the lockup only for Schneider to deliver a sudden boot to the gut, stopping Trace dead. Schneider promptly whips him into the nearest turnbuckle before charging forward and slamming into him, crushing Trace against the turnbuckle with a clothesline. Trace slumps to the mat, sat propped against the turnbuckle padding, as Schneider pulls him onto his side. Grabbing Trace’s hand Schneider places it against the bottom turnbuckle and then places a foot on it.Matthew Werner: We saw this in Schneider’s match with Mak Cross last week, targeting the hand of his opponent. Matt Steel: He’s sending a message to Hutton Brown, and the best kind of messages do always involve pain. Grabbing hold of the top ropes with both hands Schneider pulls himself up, pushing down upon the hand of Trace Demon with both feet. Trace shouts out in pain as all two hundred and twenty pounds of the World Champion crushes his hand. After a few moments of the referee attempting to pull Schneider away the painful move is stopped as the self professed King of Gore backs away to receive an ear bashing from the official. When he spots Trace attempting to get back onto his feet he pushes past the referee and drills a boot into the mid section. Again Schneider goes after the hand of the King of Demons, this time pulling it over the top rope and twisting it awkwardly as Trace again shouts out in pain.Matthew Werner: Trace Demon with no defence against this focused attack on his hand. Matt Steel: This is what’s awkward about Schneider’s focus on the hand; there really is no defence against it. I mean you’re already one hand down. Again the official is forced to step in as Schneider illegally uses the ring ropes to do damage. Schneider backs away and begins arguing with the referee in... Let’s call it an unsophisticated manner. As this is going on Trace manages to roll out under the bottom rope to buy himself some time to try and get some feeling back in his hand. Schneider sees this and true to form pushes past the referee to join Trace outside of the ring. Schneider exits between the ropes and goes to grab Trace, only for the King of Demons to spin around and blast him with a jaw shattering forearm that sends the World Champion staggering backwards and buying Trace a few more moments.Matthew Werner: Trace Demon taking this fight to the outside now, an area that both of these men have some experience with. Matt Steel: They’re both very effective at using the environment to do damage so it’s not a surprise to see that coming into play here. As Schneider recovers from the shock of the blow he turns straight into a second forearm from the King of Demons, then a third and fourth. Trace whips Schneider towards the security barricade and the King of Gore has no way of stopping the moment other than avoiding hitting the barricade face first. Instead Schneider smashes into it with his shoulder and collapses to the floor, Trace again taking a few moments to gather feeling in his hand.Matthew Werner: That attack on the hand really seems to have done some damage. Matt Steel: And that’s a big blow to Trace Demon’s chances. His game plan usually focuses around locking in one of his many submission holds, but that’s not an easy task with only one good hand. With the blood now rushing back into his hand Trace Demon grabs Schneider by the hair and pulls him up onto his feet. Spotting the nearby steel steps Trace whips Schneider in their direction, only for the World Champion to counter the move, instead sending Trace hurtling towards them. This is a situation that Trace is experienced at however and at the last second we see that signature leap as he goes from the floor to the top of the steel steps in a split second. Schneider, not wanting to let this opportunity escape him, charges forwards looking to pull Trace down upon the steps but the King of Demons sees the effort coming and leapfrogs backwards over the top of Schneider, landing behind him. As Schneider turns he receives a boot to the gut before Trace pushes his head down into a front facelock before hooking the arm. In a sudden move Trace pulls backwards, lifting Schneider overhead and planting him to the mat with a snap suplex.Matthew Werner: Trace Demon changing the momentum of this match in an instance with that snap suplex. Matt Steel: There’s only one word for that – ouch. If Phillip Schneider could talk right now that is exactly the one word he’d be saying. Okay, maybe not, it’d probably be a bit more graphic. Trace sits up, relishing the feeling of inflicting pain on a man he truly hates, while Schneider lays motionless, looking up at the ceiling with a look of pain on his face. With the referee’s count ongoing Trace lifts Schneider up onto his feet and rolls him into the ring before making the cover.. . . 1 . . . . . . 2 . . . But Schneider lifts a shoulder up just after two, showing that he isn’t done just yet.Matthew Werner: Trace Demon going for the cover here... but only manages a two. Matt Steel: This one has been very hard hitting and very fast paced from the moment the bell rung and I bet these guys are feeling it. Trace doesn’t take any time to mope over the two count, part of him already knowing that it wouldn’t have been enough to finish the WFWF World Champion. Lifting himself up onto his feet Trace grabs Schneider by the hair, pulling him up and throwing him into the nearby turnbuckle. There Trace grabs hold of the top rope with both hands and brings his foot up to the throat of Schneider, pushing against the windpipe with such force that he seems prepared to crack it in order to win this one. Schneider seems to wake up as he feels the air being drained from him and brings his hands up to the foot in an attempt to push it away. Unfortunately for him on this occasion boot beats hands and it’s only thanks to the intervention of the referee that Trace is forced to release the choke.Matthew Werner: Trace Demon has never been squeamish about breaking the rules but he actually seemed to be enjoying that. Matt Steel: Seemed to be? I can tell you for certain that he enjoyed that. Trace Demon doesn’t stick around to listen to whatever words the referee has for him, instead grabbing Schneider and yanking him up onto his feet. Trace pulls Schneider across to the centre of the ring before whipping him into the ring ropes. On the return he spins around on the spot and swings outwards with his elbow, looking to hit the high momentum rolling elbow, but Schneider shows his ring awareness by ducking underneath it. Rebounding against the ring ropes once again Schneider leaps into the air and catches a turning Trace Demon flush on the jaw with a spinning heel kick that sends Trace to the mat.Matthew Werner: That spinning heel kick came out of nowhere as Schneider once again takes control of this match. Matt Steel: If you blink during this one you seem to miss something. Schneider remains on the mat beside Trace for a brief moment as he breaths in deeply, trying to gather his breath after nearly having his windpipe crushed by the boot of the King of Demons. He doesn’t wait there too long, he wants to get back in control and finish this match. Getting to his feet he outstretches Trace’s arm and then slams his foot down upon the hand, again targeting that body part. Trace recoils his arm in pain but Schneider grabs it, outstretches it and again drives his boot down upon it before the King of Demons can really do anything to stop him.Matthew Werner: Phillip Schneider really going to town on that hand and it’s hard to tell whether he’s doing it to win this match or if he just wants to hurt Trace. Matt Steel: It’s probably a bit of both. Schneider grabs Trace by the hair and yanks him up onto his feet, drilling a knee into the mid section for good measure, before pushing Trace back into the turnbuckle. He makes sure he’s propped up against the turnbuckle before backing up to the opposite side. He’s about to charge forwards when...Matthew Werner: Phillip Schneider setting up the Legitimate Japanese Businessman Kick, this could be it... wait, is that... Matt Steel: Sure as hell sounds like it. A familiar theme echoes out around the arena, belonging to the one and only Hutton Brown. This immediately gets Schneider’s attention as he looks up at the ramp, waiting for his recent nemesis to turn up. There’s no sign of Hutton Brown however and after half a minute the theme simply cuts out, leaving Schneider completely confused. He turns back towards Trace only to find the King of Demons charging towards him, bringing his boot up and slamming it straight up into the jaw of Schneider.Matthew Werner: Trace Demon just hit Phillip Schneider with his own finishing move! Matt Steel: He’ll be bragging about that one later. As Phillip Schneider falls forwards Trace grabs him from behind in a pump handle lift position. Using the grip he lifts Phillip Schneider up onto his shoulders and, with a quick glimpse into the camera and a not so kind word to our esteemed International Champion, propels Schneider forward and drives him down onto his back with the one, the only, the very insultingly delivered Needle Damage!Matthew Werner: Trace Demon not only using Schneider’s Legitimate Japanese Businessman Kick but Drakz’s Needle Damage! Matt Steel: And now he’s going for the pinfall... . . . 1 . . . . . . 2 . . . . . . 3 . . . The referee calls for the bell as ‘Welcome Home (Sanitarium)’ hits the speaker system as Trace nonchalantly pushes Phillip Schneider away from him and rises to his feet. As the referee goes to raise his arm in victory Trace shoves him away, not wanting any contact with the WFWF official.Matthew Werner: Hutton Brown cutting this match short without ever appearing, but the big news here is not only has Trace Demon just defeated the WFWF World Champion but he’s also just got himself into the WFWF International Championship match at Survival of the Fittest! Matt Steel: A good day for the King of Demons as a whole. Keri Thames: Here is your winner... the King of Demons... Trace Demon! Trace smirks as the boos rain down upon him. He doesn’t care, he just beat Phillip Schneider, he just beat the WFWF World Champion, he just guaranteed himself another shot at the International Championship. Trace looks down at the slowly moving Schneider and, in the ultimate sign of disrespect, spits on him before exiting the ring as we fade out.We cut to the back to see a figure standing in the corner of a dimly lit room, his head bowed to the floor, two piercing blue eyes just visible through the mans matted hair.: “SuperBrawl is the biggest stage of them all, the place where dreams are realised and legends are created. After defeating everyone they put in front of me, quickly racking up a winning streak, I got my chance to perform in the biggest event of the year. SuperBrawl IV was where I finally made my mark, realised my dream of becoming a WFWF Champion, when I won the National Championship from Jon O’Deeves. ” The figure moves towards the camera, a twisted smile across his face.: “That is until someone in the WFWF decided they didn’t want me to show what I was capable of, they didn’t want me proving that I was the best. I was forced to defend my title against the man I had beaten at SuperBrawl, and this time there weren't going to be any mistakes. One fast count was all it took to take away my winning streak, my championship and my career. I realise now that you can’t succeed in the WFWF without knowing whose ass to kiss. This time my goals are much simpler, I don't care about winning back my title, getting to the top or picking up pay cheques. All I care about is getting revenge against this corrupt company, whatever it takes.” The man now looking straight down the camera, can clearly be seen as former wrestler Joe Bishop.Joe Bishop: “I, will have, my vengeance" The cage hangs over the ring as the crowd awaits the main event. [/b] Matthew Werner: This is the match that we have been waiting on all night. This is the first time The New Epoch has teamed together since forming. Matt Steel: And on the other side you have three rising stars in this company. Matthew Werner: You have three hall of famers and three more that could easily be one day. Before they can say anything else, the lights dim and “Bullet with a Name” explodes over the speakers. A lone spotlight appears on stage and Drake Elias stands under it. People erupt in cheers at the sight as he walks to the ring with the spotlight staying on him. He smiles to the crowd and he slides into the ring. He raises a fist into the air and relaxes in the corner waiting on his partners. [/b] The beginning guitar riff of "Over and Under" echoes through the arena as the lights go dark. Flashes of orange light illuminate the entrance ramp as the guitar continues. After about 10 seconds, the scream of the opening of the song is heard as Ace Bennett makes his way out to the arena, the orange flashes illuminating his body. Cupping his hands, he screams "COME ON!" to the crowd as the normal arena lights come on. The crowd cheers as Ace walks down the ramp with a purpose, a look a focus on his face. He acknowledges the cheers by bobbing his head up and down and pointing into the crowd as he makes his way to the ring. The chorus echoes through the arena as Ace slides under the bottom rope and climbs the turnbuckle, pointing out to the crowd and hyping himself up before the match starts.[/b] I'm over me being under you I'm breaking free I'm breaking through I've overcome all I'm underneath I can finally stand I can finally breathe
The lights in the arena fade and on the titan tron a video begins to play: A Matte Black 2012 Camaro ZL1 drives rapidly up a mountainside. The car speeds around the winding roads until it suddenly breaks for a “STOP” sign, dead in the night. The video ends as the sound of a lion’s roar is heard throughout. ”Nightcall” by Kavinsky hits, white and blue spotlights begin to spread, and a main spotlight hits the top of the entrance stage. Raider walks out but stops at the top of the ramp and peers at the crowd, from side to side. He then walks down the ramp, high fiving a few fans along the way. He slides into the ring and crosses his arms, fingers pointed out on the opposing shoulders. He then spreads his arms open, straight out, as the crowd roars. A circular pyrotechnic goes off above the ring, as the golden fireworks fall to the ground, circling Raider. He takes off his jacket and prepares for action.[/b] Matt Steel: I guess they just wanted us to sit through three separate entrances. Matthew Werner: You’d think they would want to seem like they are on the same page. Suddenly the lights go dark. The first chords of “You make me feel” by Archive come over the speakers. The video screen fires up and everyone is greeted by the closed office door of Xavier Pierce. It suddenly swings open and out walks David Brennan. He is followed by Michael Kyzer and then finally Drakz. The camera hangs on the room as empties are strewn across the room and a bong sits in another. Behind the CEO’s desk sits DMK smoking a cigar.[/b] The screen dies and a wall of pyro erupts over the stage and when it dies the lights come up. The New Epoch stand on the stage staring at the men in the ring. Drakz is grinning ear to ear as he begins his march to the ring. David sips on a longneck as he follows. Kyzer stands at the top of the ramp absorbing the reaction from his hometown. The boos are deafening. He soon follows his allies to the ring.[/b] Matthew Werner: Was that a midget behind the desk of CEO Xavier Pierce? Matt Steel: I am not exactly sure what is going on myself except I kind of dig their swanky group entrance music. All six men stand in the ring, each on one side. The cage begins to lower. It gets put in place and the ref locks the door. The moment the bell rings, chaos erupts. Drakz hits Raider in the face with an elbow. Kyzer eats a boot as Elias hits a high kick to face. Brennan trade punches with Raider until he catches Raider with a low kick. Brennan with an Evenflow DDT. Elias lifts Kyzer and launches him into the side of the cage. Ace gets planted with a belly to belly suplex by Drakz.[/b] Matt Steel: Jesus. This is just a straight up fight. Matthew Werner: Brennan and Drakz have zeroed in on Elias. They have a two on one advantage. Matt Steel: I have eyes. I can see that. Drakz and Brennan start to walk towards Elias and the big man stands waiting. Before either can attack, Elias makes the first move. He lunges and drills Drakz with a running savate kick. Brennan launches into Drake with a haymaker. David follows it up with several more punches and then mixes in a forearm shot to the face. Drake staggers backwards but doesn’t go down. Suddenly a boot catches him in the side of the face and Kyzer stands over him.[/b] Matt Steel: Kyzer caught him with the F~ck You! Ace catches Brennan from the side with a dropkick. Brennan stumbles and falls into the ropes. Ace runs and hits the Orange Glow on Brennan while he is against the ropes. Kyzer quickly grabs Ace and launches him face first into the cage wall. Kyzer turns and finds himself face to face with Raider. A grin comes over Kyzer’s face at this encounter. Raider approaches cautiously. Kyzer spits in Raider’s face and quickly follows it up with a vicious head-butt. [/b] Matthew Werner: Kyzer has no class. Matt Steel: As if that is new information to anyone. Raider stumbles back and Kyzer grabs him in a rear waist lock. Kyzer lifts Raider for a German suplex but Raider flips over and lands on his feet. Raider then kicks Kyzer in the back of the leg which causes Kyzer to fall to one knee. Raider follows it up with a dropkick. He gets to his feet and finds Drake Elias and Drakz both on their feet also. Drakz doesn’t look so pleased to be on the reversal of that dilemma here. Luckily for him, Brennan comes up behind Elias and hits an axe handle to the back of his head. Drakz charges Raider only to be met by a spinning heel kick. Drakz hits the mat. Ace comes off the top with an elbow. Brennan sandwiches Drake’s head between his foot and turnbuckle. Raider launches Kyzer across the ring with his own German suplex. Brennan goes for Ace and hits a high knee. He grabs Ace and scoops him onto his shoulder. He runs and goes to launch Ace into the cage. Ace slips down his back and whips Brennan face first into the cage.[/b] Matt Steel: This is chaos. Look Elias is too his feet and has locked onto to Drakz. Drake picks Drakz with a two handed choke hold. He runs and throws Drakz into the cage. Drakz goes over the top rope and finds himself trapped between the ropes and the cage. Somehow he is on his feet. Drake charge and spears him through the ropes into the cage behind him. It balloons out from the impact but doesn’t break. The crowd erupts in “Holy Sh#t!” chants. Ace pulls up Brennan and whips him across the ring. Brennan hits the ropes comes back only to be flipped in the air by the combined Raider and Ace. Brennan hits the cage back first which causes it to move violently but ultimately holds. Brennan falls halfway over the top rope where Ace viciously delivers a kick to the face. Elias gathers himself by Raider and Ace. [/b] Matt Steel: Look all three are staring at Kyzer. He is the only one still standing. Kyzer is in the opposite corner from his three opponents. Suddenly Drake takes off looking to spear Kyzer the same way he did Drakz. Kyzer moves and Drakes into the ring post shoulder first. He hits with enough impact to carry him around the ring post and into the cage. Ace takes Kyzer down with a flying forearm smash which Raider follows up with a springboard moonsault. The partners get to their feet as the crowd is erupting for this match.[/b] Matthew Werner: I don’t think this was how The New Epoch thought this was going to go. Matt Steel: I don’t think many people expected this. Raider grabs Kyzer and locks in the Lions’ Roar. Ace quickly grabs Kyzer’s arm and hooks in an arm bar. [/b] Matt Steel: They are going to rip Kyzer apart. Matthew Werner: You can hear Kyzer screaming. He is refusing to tap out though. Matt Steel: How much can he take before he just passes out? Kyzer screams louder as Ace really cranks back. Out of nowhere Drakz from behind and delivers a knee to the back of Raider’s head. He quickly grabs Raider and throws him across the ring with a T-Bone suplex. Ace releases the hold and goes after Drakz. He delivers a kick to the back of Drakz leg. He delivers another to the thigh and Drakz drops to one knee. He delivers a third kick to the shoulder and then follows it up with a drop kick. Ace quickly rises hits another dropkick on Drakz. Ace continues with the aggression as hooks Drakz into the Syracuse lock. [/b] Matt Steel: Ace is going out there with more intensity than I have ever seen him. Matthew Werner: Just like Kyzer he isn’t giving up though. Ace holds the move in for nearly thirty seconds before Brennan breaks it with an elbow drop to Ace. He grabs Ace and plants him with a sit-out face buster. Brennan gets back to his feet only to be surprised by a cobra clutch suplex from Raider. Raider helps Ace get to his feet. Ace sees Brennan and runs. He leaps going for a flying forearm but Brennan suddenly lunges and delivers a sick head butt. Ace crashes to the mat. Raider goes to hit a spinning back kick but David ducks and hits a diamond cutter.[/b] Matt Steel: We got Kyzer a broken mess on one side, Elias is finally moving in the corner after it appears he knocked himself out and Drakz isn’t moving either. I am watching careers end right here. Matthew Werner: David Brenna is climbing the cage! He is in the corner going up! Brennan to nearly the top of the cage and looks back over his shoulder. He leaps off turning in the air and drills Ace with The Fresh Cut.[/b] Matt Steel: JESUS! Brennan could have just broken Ace’s neck with that move. Matthew Werner: This crowd is going nuts. The crowd exploded for the move. Brennan takes a second but gets to his feet. His back is covered in blood where it got cut against the cage. He stumbles over to Drakz. David slaps Drakz’s face and he sits straight up looking very confused. David helps him to his feet as Elias is just getting to his on the opposite side. Brennan runs and smashes Elias in the corner with a clothesline. Drakz shakes his head and runs hitting Elias with a flying elbow. Elias stumbles out of the corner looking dazed. He shakes his head and then nearly decapitates Brennan with a roaring elbow out of nowhere. [/b] Matt Steel: Drake just came alive out of nowhere there. Drakz with grabs Drake and launches him into the cage. Drake hits face first and turns on the rebound. Drakz continues it with a Northern Lights Driver taking the bigger man to the ground. Drakz stands and gets greeted with Fame or Infamy by Raider. Raider grabs Brennan who is getting to his feet. He lifts him on his shoulders and hits Rock-N-Rolla. [/b] Matthew Werner: Both these teams have been so consumed with beating each other up that no one has even attempted a pin fall. Matt Steel: The ref has been hiding in the corner the entire time. I can’t blame him, he might accidently get killed. Raider takes a minute to get his breath before grabbing Drakz. He lifts him onto his shoulders going for the Rock-N-Rolla on Drakz too. Drakz manages to fight out of it. He hits the mat behind Raider and comes up with a low blow. He turns him hooks him. Drakz hits Needle Damage on Raider. Drakz looks around after dropping Raider and see Drake by the ropes. Drakz hops up to his feet and takes off. He hits a vicious knee to Elias. He grabs Elias by the head and pushes it into the cage. Drake fights back with an elbow that catches Drakz in the temple. Drakz stumbles back. Drake turns and is met with European uppercut. Drake falls back and hits the ropes. He bounces back and forearm shot to the head of Drakz. Drakz retaliates with another uppercut.[/b] Matt Steel: Is it wise for Drakz to get involved in a slugging match with Drake? Matthew Werner: He wouldn’t be my first choice. Drake stumbles back but comes back with a Shin Saikyou High Kick. That takes Drakz down. Drake takes a second before grabbing Drakz. Before he can act he is met with an attempted clothesline by Kyzer. Drake steps back but the move lacks any power with Kyzer’s arm hurt from Ace’s arm bar. Kyzer stands before Drake half broken with a big grin on his face. Drake throws a kick. Kyzer catches it and reverses with a dragon screw. Kyzer boots Elias in the midsection and he tries to get back to his feet. He hooks him and launches him overhead with a butterfly suplex. [/b] Matt Steel: I don’t know how he had the strength to do that. He was locked in those submission holds for good amount of time. He looked near dead earlier. Kyzer gets to his feet and limps towards the cage door.[/b] Matt Steel: We may finally see an end to this carnage. Matthew Werner: Look Ace is up! Ace has recovered enough to get to his feet. He dropkicks Kyzer in the back sending him into the turnbuckle. Ace turns him and lifts him onto the turnbuckle. Ace climbs the turnbuckle calling for Syracuse Drop to the delight of the crowd. He goes for the move, but Kyzer holds onto the turnbuckle. Drakz comes running with a dropkick but Ace whips up and Kyzer launches him his head and into the cage. He gets hung up on the ring post by the cage door. Drake runs out of nowhere and connecting with a leaping knee kick on Kyzer. Drakz takes Drake down and the two start brawling. Kyzer is slumped against the cage still on the top turnbuckle with Ace behind him. Ace is reaching for the door. The ref swings it open for him.[/b] Matthew Werner: Ace is going to win this for his team. Kyzer is out cold. A small figure starts running down the ramp. DMK is running down with a duffle bag in hand. He drops the bag and hits a dropkick on cage door. It slams into Ace’s head and he falls to the mat. Drake grabs Drakz and launches him into the cage. He turns his attention to Kyzer still sitting on the turnbuckle. He runs to kick Kyzer again, but Kyzer launches himself backwards and out of the cage door. Drake’s leg goes over the top rope and he gets hung up. Kyzer hits the ground and the ref calls for the bell. [/b] Matt Steel: The New Epoch got lucky here. Matthew Werner: That wasn’t the outcome that anyone wanted to see. DMK immediately runs over to Kyzer with the duffle bag in hand. He pulls out a bottle of water and pours it on Kyzer waking him up. DMK helps Kyzer up best as he can since he is a midget. Raider is up and helps Drake get free from where he was hung up. DMK pulls something out the bag and runs up the steps. He sprays something in Raiders face and Raider hits the mat covering his eyes.[/b] Matt Steel: Is that bear mace? Matthew Werner: Isn’t that what Dog the Bounty Hunter uses? DMK sprays Drake next. He starts thrashing around. DMK grabs the bag and climbs into the ring, Kyzer follows up the steps and back into the ring. DMK pulls out a six pack and chain from the bag. He chains the door shut behind them preventing anyone from entering that way. Kyzer pulls Ace up to his feet and lifts him on shoulders. He drops him with The Kyzer Effect. Brennan grabs a bottle and begins putting one back. He empties it in one sip and then smashes the empty over Raider’s head. Drakz is back to his feet too. He grabs a bottle and throws it back himself. He then proceeds to smash his empty over Drake’s head. Drakz then locks in The End Game on Drake. Brennan stands over Ace and jumps into the air coming down hard with a double stomp on his chest. DMK even delivers a few little boots to Raider.[/b] Matthew Werner: This is insane. Someone needs to come stop this. Matt Steel: Those guys don’t have any friends back there. Kyzer sits on the top turnbuckle watching the carnage. Brennan is on the mat laying punch after punch into Ace. Drakz finally releases the hold on Drake. Drakz grabs Raider by the legs and catapults him into the cage wall. Kyzer has a microphone through sober magic. He puts the microphone up to his mouth to speak but the crowd erupts into boos. He only smiles to this as it brings him to his feet. He stands over the three men laid out by The New Epoch.[/b] Michael Kyzer: If anyone thought that tonight would be the end of The New Epoch was unfortunately wrong. It isn’t going to be the end of The New Epoch. If anything this is our coming out party. The three wear smiles as the crowd starts launching trash against the cage. [/b] Michael Kyzer: These three asshats thought they would walk into MY town and beat us. And before us lay the heroes of the WFWF. These are what they offer us as tribute? I am insulted. You people got robbed of what you deserved. You deserved better than this. You deserve better than Drake Elias, Ace Bennett and Raider. Brennan opens a beer and pours it on Ace. He does the same to Drake and Raider. [/b] Michael Kyzer: The WFWF is a shell of what it once was. The current state of this company is a f~cking joke. Xavier Pierce is just a f~cking weasel like King Kraig before him, but Pierce is worst. He tries to hide behind his so called “good” intentions and desire to “fix” this company. But the inmates are still running the asylum. If that f~cking Jew can hold the show hostage only for me to get booked into some overly complicated match then this company has a problem. If a punkass like Trace can keep failing upwards and a f~cking immigrant can suddenly demand better title shots then we have a problem. If we can have Ace going around smashing people with chairs yet we are still vilified then we have a problem. Brennan and Drakz each lean in a corner, as Kyzer pauses while the crowd goes crazy. Their boos are deafening but the moment Kyzer raises the microphone again they start to quiet. [/b] Michael Kyzer: The WFWF is in a state of decay. Xavier Pierce has no clue how to fix this place, he has no idea how to return this place to prominence instead of the joke that it is right now. When I was running things, we didn’t have wrestlers taking over the show, hijacking it. Where the f~ck do you think Xavier Pierce is tonight if he wasn’t in that dressing room all night? Drakz is already laughing before Kyzer can even let it out.[/b] Michael Kyzer: Mr. Pierce found himself on a no fly list. It seems as if someone reported him as a possible terror suspect. Where the f~ck is the man running the show? He should be here instead of letting a midget impersonate him all night. Lucky for everyone we have a solution to all the plagues that ravage this company. Kyzer pauses and grins.[/b] Michael Kyzer: We burn this place to the ground. The WFWF can’t be fixed. It has to be destroyed and rebuilt. You can’t build on a cracked foundation and that is what the WFWF is sitting on right now. There is a giant crack in it. It is this crack that vermin like this come from. This isn’t what the future of the WFWF needs to look like if it is going to thrive. It is this man. Kyzer points Brennan.[/b] Michael Kyzer: This man is a future World Champion. He is going to go into Survival of the Fittest and will come out as the next World Champion. He is the future. He is the man that this company needs to be built around. David possesses that superstar quality you need to make it in this business. The crowd throws major heat at this.[/b] Michael Kyzer: And we have this man, Drakz. He has done nearly everything in this company. He has left and come back as many times as myself. And yet he always finds himself at the top of the food chain. It is a f~cking talent. It is this talent that will put Drake Elias, Trace Demon or anyone else back in their place. Kyzer smirks as he pauses.[/b] Michael Kyzer: And what do I have to offer? I am just a washed up junkie right? I am just going to fall back into drugs right? If you think that then you are straight up a f~cking moron. You see I am able to see the future. I am the Diviner of Destiny. I am able to mold the future. I did it tonight. I will do it at Survival of the Fittest. The New Epoch will decide the fate of this company and everyone in it. WE will build a new future here. He spits on Raider.[/b] Michael Kyzer: It won’t be Raider, Pierce, Schneider or anyone who shapes that. This is the first shot in the war. It won’t be the last. This is beyond anything anyone can imagine. This is the will result in the WFWF being reborn just like I was. The New Epoch is going to usher in the new Golden Era of the WFWF. He drops the mic as the crowd erupts. Litter has piled by the cage. The New Epoch stands tall in the ring.[/b][/center]

Okay, so apparently we all weren't on the same page. I was under the impression that Xavier Pierce was going to be absent to play into the angle TNE is doing. I remember mentioning this multiple times to both Ace and Horror. So everything that Brennan and I did just looks stupid now. Awesome.
Everything else was great. I liked Trace's seg and his match. I doubt anyone told him of what was supposed to be going on this show.
I also enjoyed Raider's seg a good bit.

And don't try to say it was an oversight either. You (Ace and Horror) wrote an entire segment that features Pierce. And if you forgot then that shows that you don't read crap people send you.

I'm with Kyzer and a little baffled with the Pierce angle. From what I understood, I thought TNE was taking the show hostage and Pierce was going to be 'kidnapped' or removed from the show all together, but at the same rate I still knew the angle with Trace was set to take place 'at the top of the show' as listed on the card with Pierce.
So I figured that segment and the segment that was sent to me regarding the tag match would take place at the beginning and then Pierce would disappear. The flaws here was where Kyzer said at the end of the show that Pierce wasn't even at the show, it was teased from the opening segment and even with the Drake segment. Yet the Trace & Tag match bits were scattered with Pierce still making an appearance.
I know it's hard for everyone to be on the same page with so many different things going on, but I can understand Kyzer's frustration when he had planned this weeks in advance and yet it wasn't executed that well.
Other than that, I enjoyed everything else, especially Trace's segment/ match. The main event was well written and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I think my favorite part was when DMK got a few 'little boots' in on Raider, I was laughing at that pretty hard. And even though I didn't show my segment to anyone in TNE before hand, I think it tied in pretty well to their segments throughout the show and the main event. Congrats to all the winners.

I'll take the fall on that one. No excuses.

Yeah, Kyzer's frustrations are pretty founded if this indeed was planned weeks in advance. Personally I had no idea that Xavier wasn't meant to appear on the show, otherwise I'd have worked around it for my angle. I think it's bringing the communication issue to the forefront. It's always going to be an issue with so many different people involved all with their own ideas, but it's something that needs to be worked on closely. Regardless, a decent show overall and very happy with my win. I'm coming for you Drakz, keep my title shiny for me.

I like how it looks like it was predetermined before the match that I was losing, especially since Trace's entire angle revolves around challenging for the International title, and it was apparently set up weeks ago that he was in that match..

He wrote that angle after the deadline from what I know. You lost based on RPs, not on an angle.

I like how it looks like it was predetermined before the match that I was losing, especially since Trace's entire angle revolves around challenging for the International title, and it was apparently set up weeks ago that he was in that match.. Actually, that stipulation was only added in after I'd found out that I'd gotten the votes for the victory, figured it made more sense than Drakz just agreeing to the triple threat match. And I originally wasn't even involved in the International Championship match at SOTF. I was meant to be facing Thunder and then me and Drakz were gonna do our thing at the next pay per view, but that was changed this week due to other circumstances.

Wow so the whole Xavier Pierce absence / TNE show hostage angle got f*cked right up the ass I guess.
I should have mentioned it to you Trace but to be honest I forgot about it when we were discussing your seg. However I would have thought either Ace or Horror would have picked up on it?
The segs on the show either way were great and a lot of heat was generated. Congratulations to Trace and thanks to Elias, Ace and Raider for a great match.

I feel really, really encouraged to write more segments now that I know that they're essentially cut and pasted into a thread without any sort of read through for continuity's sake.

Well I had Ace edit the results to that the Epoch segment is...well...correct. It's a cheap fix, but I wanted to make things right for everyone.
I apologize for not helping Ace organize this weeks results in better order than I did. We were waiting so long for votes and promos that we had to rush the results out so that no one got upset and started complaining because they were taking so long when we were gridlocked. Sorry.
And Schneider, it wasn't predetermined in the slightest. It was brought to our attention that because of what happened a couple of shows ago that Trace should be in the International Championship match at the PPV. It was gonna be announced this show one of two ways, it just so happened that since Trace won, we went that route is all.

Yeah, I don't like making excuses once again, but I didn't want people to complain that the results. So I kinda pieced together what I had quickly so they could get posted when they did. Bone headed move on my part I realize, bash away.

Bone headed move on my part I realize, bash away. I am not going to bash you. It just felt like everything that I worked on and everything that SYE worked on was pissed all over due to what I will just call communications breakdown. But I have felt this for awhile, that there isn't good communication around here at all. I have talked to both you and Horror before about angles and whatnot, it seems that neither of you would tell the other one about anything. It would be me informing one about what the other has told me. I really felt like this show was supposed to be a catalyst for the angle starting after the ppv. And it all lost it oomph if that makes sense. I appreciate the attempt to fix it but isn't quite the same thing as first impressions are nearly everything. Its whatever. If I do go through the trouble of planning something out weeks in advance and it everything goes entirely in another direction without a heads up or something, anything being said to me to let me "hey, we got to change this for this reason" then I am gone. I don't have a problem altering plans to help out with other things. But I am not wasting my effort again around here. I offered to write the main event to help everyone out, it is one less thing you guys to worry about and it made it easier to write the promo at the end. I offer to do things around here to help out, like writing the EC match for SOTF. Which I also feel slightly insulted, that it was just thrown in there without either of you even reading what was said. Don't bother booking me for the next show. I have zero desire to write a rp, a promo or anything right now. This may just come off like Kyzer being Kyzer but I feel like I have a legitimate gripe here. I know Ace apologized and reasons/excuses have been made, but I feel like I should be clear exactly why I was/still am pissed off. I have my storyline basically mapped out to the end of the year. This is one thing I really want to do and it is against a deadline. Something like this happening again can ruin an entire angle. It nearly did. Take what I say however you want. I honestly don't give a flying f~ck if I am coming off as an bunghole in this situation.

Throw my hat in the ring to not be booked next show either. This place is a mess. I too have my story mapped to the end of the year, rps and segs included, but if this is the way things are going to be handled, I'd just as soon scrap it all. We're constantly extending deadlines and dealing with no shows, and we're beat over the head to help along the process by writing segs, but if this is how they're handled, where's the incentive? Why bother having creative owners if everything submitted just get tossed into a word file without so much as a read through?
You guys knew how important this show was to Kyzer. You mentioned it yourself weeks ago when you posted the tour schedule.

Look, I want to get something clear. While I have taken it upon myself, to organize the entire angle I don't want it to seem like this is just mine. I have been trying to get input and ideas from every single person involved. I wanted this to be something that would stir interest in everyone involved and everyone who was just following it.
