(Writers note: This is the last episode before GSW goes on hiatus, but fret not it will be back at some point. Id like to thank everyone that's stuck with GSW the past sixteen-eighteen shows, it means a lot. )
The show opens with a recap of the first half of The Quarter Finals of The Ironman Title Tournament. The screen fades to black after the last highlight then the music changes tones and it fades back in on Stan Hansen attacking and choking out Kurt Angle. It ends on Hansen posing in the crowd before cutting to Kurt passed out on the floor.
The screen fades to black again as it goes to Th GSW Arena. The crowd is mildly hot as the camera pans the audience. A familiar welcomes the viewers to the show as it cuts to the commentators both dressed in jeans and t-shirts.
Nick Crew: Hello ladies and gentlemen, and with a tear in my eye I welcome to this episode of GSW. Last week GSW Kurt Angle was choked out by the man who will challenge for the title at SuperCard, Stan Hansen. And yes ladies and gentlemen the match has officially been made. Hansen vs. Angle 2, No DQs, No Count Out, Falls Count Anywhere for the GSW Title!
Havoc: But let's focus on tonight first!
Crew: Absolutely. Tonight we have Stan Hansen in action against Raven, t and in our main event the last quarter final match in The GSW Iron Man Title Tournament. Last week we saw footage of Matt Hardy being assaulted by Raven and Saturn…
It cuts to the footage as Nick continues to talk.
Crew: …as you can see Raven and Saturn crushed Matt's hand in the locker and as such Matt has been advised to miss his match against Nick Jackson, giving Nick an automatic buy into the finals.
The Duchesses music began to play and the crowd boo as the usually cocky Duchess is stone faced and clearly pissed.
Canario: The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first from Blackpool, England, The Duchess.
She gets in the ring and stretches in the corner opposite of her opponent.
Canario: Her opponent already in the ring, from Neverland, Pixie Belle.
Pixie stands about five foot even, wearing a purple and black shirt and matching tights and boots. She's has a small tattoo on her bicep. She smiles as she poses to the small cheers form the crowd. The bell rings again and the two shake hands in the middle of the ring.
Crews: A surprisingly respectful display from The Duchess. Not really the woman you want to be in the ring with right now. Melina and her cohorts form TMZ have prying into her personal life and since she can't her hands on Melina she's just as content to take it out on other women. In this case Miss Belle.
The two lock up and Duchess drives her knee into Pixies stomach causing her knees to buckle and she slumps down against Duchess. Duchess pulls her up and pushes her against the ropes. She bounces off the ropes and she jumps a little and Front Dropkicks Duchess stomach, knocking her back to the mat. Duchess rolls onto one knee. Pixie runs past her and hits the ropes. She tires for a Shining Wizard but Duchess catches her and stands up and Powerbombs her folding into a pin for a two count.
Duchess grabs her by the hair and rolls her onto her stomach and pulls back on her hair before locking in a Camel Clutch. Pixie easily gets free and crawls out between her legs and Schoolboys her for a two count. Both women roll right to their feet and Pixie runs at Duchess and rolls her into a Crucifix Pin for another two count. Pixie rolls to her feet but Duchess rolls out of the ring.
Crew: Miss Belle is rolling here!
Havoc: Yeah but she's letting Duchess have too much time to collect herself.
Duchess walks around ringside. The camera zooms out and catches someone front row taking a photo of Duchesses ass. She turns to him and smirks.
Duchess: Get a good s-
She stops mid sentence and punches him the crowd ooh. She leans over the barricade, hitting him before hopping over and starting to stomp on him. Pixie and the ref run out of the ring and try to pull her off.
Crew: What the hell is she doing?
The guy with the camera gets up, staggers and runs away. The crowd is silent and confused. Duchess breaks free from the ref and Pixie and storms off backstage. The ref calls for the bell. The crowd boo. Pixie ad the ref look at each other confused as Pixie is announced as the winner. It cuts to the commentators.
Crew: The Duchess struck a fan?!
Havoc: A couple of times actually. And then she stormed off in the middle of a match.
Crew: Rarely a dull moment in GSW. Uh, let's, uh move one. Let's go to a word from our International Champion Taz.
Havoc: Hopefully.
It cuts to Taz standing backstage, his title around his waist, the towel over his head.
Taz: SuperCard. Me and Cesaro, one on one for this title.
He sneers.
Taz: I can't wait. I can't wait to choke you out! I can't wait to stand over you holding the title up jut like every other man that thought they were tough enough, that thought they were man enough to beat me and take my title away from me! And Low Ki I know you'll be watching, I know you'll be watching really damn closely. When I'm done with Cesaro, I dare you, no, I beg you to step up and face me! Last time I took you out of this company but next time…ILL PUT YOU OUT OF THIS DAMN BUSINESS!

Morishima: Steiner! Fight!
He throws the mic away and waits for one of the Steiners to get in the ring. Rick stand sup, holding his shoulder. Him and Scott converse on which one will get in the ring. Rick nods and runs into the ring. Him and Morishima immediately start to trade fists and forearm strikes.

Morishima slowly gets to his feet and faces Rick. Rick charges and Clothesline Morishima. He rolls right back up and Rick hits him with another Clothesline. He rolls right up again and Rick tosses him with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex to a big pop. Rick barks and the crowd (and Scott) cheer.

Alpha: He's still a paying f-
He's interrupted by the door opening. Jack Palmer storms in. Duchess stands up and gets in his face.
Palmer: You should be fired. You should be on the first plane back to England and the only reason The System made that call is because they know if we lose you, we lose our tag champs, and they don't want to risk it. But rest assured you are on a very strict probation, the littlest slip up and your ass is gone.
He turns and storms out of the room. Alpha and Tommy try to calm Duchess down as it fades to the commentators.
