You Make Me Sick by Egypt Central Blares through the arena and Red Lights illuminate the arena. The crowd send up an mixed reaction as Reno Destiny Emurges from the back through the curtains. He walks slowly to the top of the ramp and stands looking around the arena. Some fans throw the X sign in the air praising destiny as he walks down the ramp. Mellow his facial expressions are as he approaches the ring apron. He turns to assend the steel steps in front of him. as he walks into the ring he turns around walking backwards toward the opposite turnbuckle before turning around. with his forhead down in the turnbuckle he lunges his way to the second rope and stares into the crowd and holds the X in the Air.

RW: Look at the capacity crowd on their feet high praise for a superstar whose been gone almost the better part of a year.

JC: But the fans never forget their favorites.

"NEVER BACK DOWN IN THE FACE OF ANGER!" The lights flicker, then go out as "Indestructible" by Disturbed blares through the arena. A yellow light illuminates the stage area, and two rockets of pyro fly from the far side of the arena to explode on the stage. Josh Konnely steps out into the smoke left by the exploding pyro, and raises his arms as the crowd boos. With his fists clenched and a scowl on his face, Konnely walks down the aisle to ringside. He runs up the steps, walks to the center of the apron, and climbs through the ropes into the ring. Going to the opposite corner, he steps onto the second rope, glaring out into the booing crowd. Josh raises both arms, his hands forming cornas, as the crowd boos loudly. He steps down out of the corner and shoves past the referee before leaning back against the ropes, ready to fight. With the fans booing him loudly.

RW: I guess its clear whose the good guy and whose the bad guy.

They stand toe to toe with each other as the bell rings. Josh starts it off with a flying forearm and corners Reno into the corner and nails him with fists, eventually Josh is countered with a knee to the midsection and a bionic elbow then Reno follows it up with a german suplex. Mic Check and a GTS later we see Reno is now in control.

JC: Reno isn’t showing much ring rust now.

Reno is making quick work of Josh and starts up with his Kill You.

RW: What an awesome torture rack, wherever Lex Luger is now he’s looking on with pride.

Finally finishes his Kill You with a Death Valley Driver, he goes for a pin 1…………..2………………kickout!

JC: How the hell did Josh kick out of that?

Reno is thinking, how to end this, he stands up and takes a few steps back, crouches a little, soon Josh is getting up, or trying to, he’s a little wobbly and he’s facing the wrong corner as he turns around he meets Reno Destiny’s Fate and that’s all she wrote for Josh, the ref counts 1…………2………..3!!!

RW: Reno Destiny wins! Reno wins!

RW: Well now John, this whole little formation coming to be known as "Exile" is very interesting and all, but we still have more matches to call.

JC: Your right Randy, inlcuding this next one, with the newly "reinvented" Kris Chambers, and a masked man simply known, as Tao.

RW: Let's get to the ringside area for introductions while our cage lowers.

The cage then begins to lower, its a bit larger than the normal hell in the cell, encompassing the entire ringside area, including the announcers, this is new and the announcers don't seem to like it, but we can see one Robyn Bryne barely make her way out before the cage slams closed, right next to her is the girl who has come to be known as Lacey, making sure to stay out of the way of this violent match.

JC: Not sure about you Randy, but I really don't like the idea of being in here with these two.

RW: Neither do I John, with what these two have been saying the past week or so to eachother back and forth, this match is going to be intense.

Robyn Bryne: Standing in the ring, your current National Champion, he is simply "Wicked"!... Kris CHAMBERS!

RW: "Wicked" seems to be an understatement at the moment with his alliance with SFT's residential lunatic Dameon.

Ancient sounding Japanese music begins to ring out through the loud speakers as we see some classic looking Samauri make their way out onto the stage, seemingly signaling the entrance of the mysterious Tao. A few moments pass while the audience is aww struck by the performance they are putting on. This even seems to mild interest Kris Chambers who stands close to the ropes facing the rampway. But before Robyn can even make an introduction the camera pans back and we see Tao slide out from under the ring with a kendo stick in hand, sliding in behind Chambers and nailing the National Champion in the back of the head almost breaking the kendo stick in half in the process. Chambers instantly falls outside the ring, smacking off the ground as Lacey's attention is drawn away from the Samauri, who are now making their way to the back. She begins to scream for "her man" as Tao continues the assault, leaping out of the ring and begining a vicious assault with his feet.

JC: Tao was under the ring the whole time?!?

RW: Has that crazy bastard been under there the whole time?

JC: No clue, but I wonder what else he has up his sleeve.

But as the kicking assault continues we see Chambers begin to fight his way back to his feet, first by catching one of Tao's boots then knocking the balancing leg out from under his opponent. Chambers and Tao begin to scuffle on the ground, rolling back and forth while throwing punch after punch, some connecting some not. Eventually we see Chambers get the advantage when he leans down and bites into the forehead of Tao, partially ripping the mask of Tao while slicing open his forehead, causing blood to flow down his forehead and be left on the chin of the "Wicked" one.

JC: HOLY HELL!

RW: Holy hell is right John, this is definitely not the same Chambers we saw getting layed open by Dameon last week.

Tao then begins to writh in pain while Kris Chambers attempts to recover from the kendo stick shot that almost took him out of the match early. Seeing Tao begin to get to his feet we see Chambers slide in under the bottom rope, bounce to his feet, hit the ropes and return with a HUGE tope suicida (suicide dive) that takes down Tao while sending Chambers himself face first into the wall of the cell, partially splitting him open, but nothing too major. Feeling the rush of adrenaline pump through him we see Kris rise to his feet, slapping the sides of the cage while yelling out to the crowd some incoherant ramblings. Chambers then returns his attention to Tao, picking him up and rolling him into the ring, but as Kris tries to follow we see Tao fall across the back of Chambers with a double-axe handle before continue to relentlessly hit forearms across the back of Kris. Tao then lifts up Chambers before hitting a quick snap suplex, followed up by placing Chambers in a triangle choke. Tao then begins to motion to the ref to check on Chambers who is quickly begining to turn blue in the choke.

RW: This could be it, the first round could be ALL Tao here with this vicious choke.

JC: I highly doubt Chambers will give up that easily. But you never know.

Sure enough we see the "Wicked" one throwing his free arm into Tao who quickly releases the hold, bouncing back to his feet before nailing a stiff impact ddt in the center of the ring on Chambers who is layed out flat on his back. Taking a quick peak out towards the crowd Tao rushes as fast as possible to the nearest corner, ascending to the top before leaping off with his feet under him, going for a huge double-foot stomp, but Chambers moves causing both of Tao's legs and feet to slam the mat hard, instantly jamming both of his knees to the point he collapses back to the ground in extreme pain, a loud grunt is audible from Tao who clutches at his injured appendages.

JC: That mistake might cost Tao in the long run.

RW: True John, but what condition could Mr. Wicked himself be in after that choke, slaming the cage, and that DDT?

JC: Good point Randy, its still anyones match I guess.

Rolling over to the ropes we see Tao start to pull himself to his feet, obviously sore from the impact on his knees and his inability to roll after the crash landing. Kris is also getting to his feet at this time, seeing his chance Chambers charges at Tao diving at the head once again, but Tao ducks pulling down the top rope in the process, this sends Chambers clean out of the ring and once again he smacks the ground hard, bouncing off while spattering a touch of blood on the mat, which didn't seem to help much in this instance. The ref then makes his way over to Tao, leaning down to check if the man is ok, simply to be pushed off in the process, which certainly means he is fine. Tao once again starts to pull himself to his feet, but as he is reaching a standing base we see Chambers reach in under the bottom rope, triping Tao up before pulling him halfway out of the ring and slamming both knees onto the edge of the ring with some authority.

RW: OH! That one HAD to hurt.

We hear a scream eminate from Tao who rolls back into the ring clutching at his knees, not wasting ANY time we see Chambers slide in under the bottom rope, quickly running up and placing Tao into what looks like a modified figure four, applying as much pressure as possible. Tao instantly begins to try and fight out of his prediciment, clawing, and crawling trying to make it to the ropes, not realizing at this point they won't help him any.

JC: Can't go there for help Tao, its no-disqualification.

RW: I don't think he cares at this point John, he just wants some form of leverage to try and work his way out.

"Wicked" then latches onto the closest foot of Tao to him and drops all his weight back three of four times, looking as if he is trying to rip the ankle out of its socket, this causes Tao to stop his crawl towards the ropes, dropping back while clutching at his head in an EXTREME amount of pain, reaching towards the sky for a moment it appears he is asking some form of higher power for help, but this comes to no avale as he then quickly falls back once again tapping the mat vigorously. At this point the ref calls for the first bell, awarding round one to Kris Chambers who is reluctant to release the hold but after a couple of moments does, pulling himself to a corner to recooperate for a second before round two commences.

Robyn Bryne: And your winner of Stage One, KRIS CHAMBERS!

RW: There you have it, round one to Chambers, who doesn't look like he is doing too good.

JC: Neither man does, and that was just the first round Randy. What could they do to eachother next?

RW: This is the pinfall and/or submission section, round two, so anything and anywhere in the entire cage John.

Lacey who stands outside the ring is freaking out in excitement at this point, knowing "her man" is doing amazingly so far against the "unknown" Tao.

RW: She looks happy...

JC: You're right, and she can keep bouncing all she wants.

RW: Put your eyes back in John, you have a wife, all you can do is run to the end of your chain and bark.

The ref then calls for the bell signaling the begining of round two as both men fight to get back to their feet, sometimes a thirty-second break just isn't enough. Chambers is first back to his feet making his way across the ring to where Tao is laying, up against the bottom turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring. Chambers then clutches Tao by the back of the head, trying to lift the man to his feet, but this fails as Tao grips the waistband of Chambers pants, falling back and sending Chambers head first into the turnbuckle post, leaving him limp and hanging while the little blood spot on his head turns into a huge gash, dripping down onto the mat below. The crowd is now fully behind both men, exchanging chants of "Let's go Chambers" and "Let's go Tao".

RW: The fans are loving this brutality John!

JC: How could they not Randy, I would actually have paid to see this match, but I am on the payroll, so HA!

RW: Chambers could very well have a concussion from that impact, but I guess that is left to be seen, and examined by the medical staff after the conclusion to this match.

Tao then pulls himself using the bottom rope out of the ring, lifting up the apron while searching for something which he quickly finds. A steel chair. Using it as a crutch to get to his feet we see him draw back and unleash a wicked, no pun intended, chair shot to the top of Chambers head, making the champ fall back into the ring in a heap. Tao then walks up to the apron, placing his ass on it before using the ropes once again to pull himself to his feet. Looking down at Chambers we see Tao pull the chair up above his head, tossing it onto the limp body of Chambers before heaving himself into the ring, flipping and landing both legs across the chair which has landed on the face of Chambers, this causes both men to begin to flop around the ring in pain.

JC: That move might have hurt him as much as it did Chambers.

RW: Doubtful, Tao is still able to stand, unlike a certain "Wicked" champion.

Tao then crawls over, pushing the chair off of Chambers before attempting the pin. The ref then hits the mat and begins to make the count.

1...! 2...! ...Kickout!

Lacey jumps around as Tao sits with his arms out almost in a confused manner as the referee explains that is what just a two count. Not agreeing Tao slaps his hands together three times before waving off the referee.

RW: HOW CLOSE WAS THAT JOHN!?!

JC: Extremely, but I think that just proves how badly Chambers wants this.

We then see Tao slap himself a couple of times, appearing as if he is trying to build up some adrenaline, which seems to work for the time being as he stands up without any assistance, gripping the back of the bloodied head of Chambers, lifting the man up and sending him into the near corner, before following up with a huge clothesline that almost takes Kris clean off his feet. Tao then backs up once more before charging in and attempting another clothesline, but the National Champion uses the ropes to lift his legs over Tao, rolling him up in the process, the ref drops for the count once more.

1...! 2...!

Kickout!...

Before Chambers has any time to argue with the ref Tao is back to his feet and nails Chambers right between the eyes with a stiff drop kick, taking the champion down and out of the ring. Staying on the attack we see Tao slide out of the ring and smack the back of Chambers a couple of times with his forearms, trying to further weaken the champ. Tao then lifts up Chambers before nailing him with an STO onto the hard mats below. Once again, Tao wastes no time in lifting Chambers up and sliding him part way into the ring before backing up and giving Chambers a SOLID boot to the temple, rolling Chambers back into the ring.

JC: Tao really means business here tonight Randy.

RW: It's a Pay-Per-View John, thats like crack to a wrestler, they work all month long for a moment like this, and to stack a title shot on top of it, well thats like super-dope-smack!

JC: Nice analogy... Hippie.

RW:...I hate you.

Tao's adrenaline has seemingly worn off as he stumbles towards the cage and has to grip onto it to hold himself up. Taking a knee for a moment we see Tao appearently recollecting himself and his thoughts as he tries to think of what to do to end this as quickly as possible. But Chambers, dazed and confused, looks to have other thoughts on his mind as he is almost back to his feet, looking at Tao, then the far ropes, then Tao once more. The fans are sitting in a controlled frenzy at this point; clapping, stomping, screaming, and pounding back beers to this insane contest. As Tao raises to his feet and begins to make his way back to the ring we see Chambers charge the far ropes and on his return attempt a rolling plancha over the top rope, but as he is falling down onto Tao we see the mysterious masked man reach up, setting his opponents legs on his shoulders before turning and bouncing Chambers not only off of the cage, but rotating even more and sending him head and back first directly into the very turnbuckle post that split him open earlier. The crowd lets out a huge "HOLY SHIT!" chant as both men are layed out on the ground.

RW: WHAT A COUNTER FROM TAO!

JC: OH MY GOD! If that doesn't make the highlight reel for tonight I don't know what will!

RW: This whole match could be a god damn highlight reel!

Lacey now stands at the cage screaming for Kris to get back to his feet, but the champion has yet to move since the vicious impact with the solid steel post. The referee then jumps out of the ring to check on the two men, but Tao is slowly crawling towards Chambers, and as he gets to him he tosses an arm over the man. The ref then begins to make the count.

1...! 2...! 3...!

Robyn Bryne: And your winner of Stage Two! TAO!!!...

RW: And thats what it took John! A vicious ass impact like that to keep Chambers down.

JC: But Randy, what will happen next, we are to the decision making round, Last Man Standing rules, and this match has already been this brutal and this vile.

RW: I forgot all about the fact it was Last Man Standing, this is one for the record books folks, this is going to be intense.

Both men at this point seem to be trying to recover, Tao by pulling himself into the ring and Chambers by simply just trying to rise up off of his now possibly injured back. Lacey's voice is now cracking as she continues to yell at "Wicked" Kris Chambers, that he needs to continue and keep fighting and she keeps mentioning something about consequences.

JC: What the hell could that mean Randy? No poon?

RW: That, or the fact that Dameon might maim him if he loses, either way, its definitely not a good result.

Chambers is now to the apron, pulling himself up as the referee slides into the ring, calling for the bell to begin Stage Three of the match, as he does though we see Tao slide nailing Chambers with a baseball slide, taking Kris all the way to the cage and then to the ground, spilling more blood in the process. Tao then grabs the pant leg of the referee telling him to begin the count.

JC: Tao trying to get this last stage over with quickly.

1... 2... 3... 4... 5...Chambers then gets back to his feet, hearing the count and knowing he could easily lose his title at this point. Fighting through the pain he slides under the bottom rope once more, only to be met by a horrendous chair shot to the back from Tao who was laying in wait. Two more chair shots then ring out through the arena before Tao drops the steel, now wrinkled, folding chair before collapsing against the ropes and signaling that the ref begin to count again. 1... 2... 3... 4... Chambers is begining to pull himself back up. 5... 6... Chambers is almost to his feet when Tao begins to make his way over, only to be pushed back by Chambers, who then rushes in clipping the knee of Tao, from the front, taking both men down momentarily. While both men lay near the center of the ring we see Kris throw a few stiff shots to the side of Tao's head, rocking the obviously in pain Osakian.

RW: To what length are these men willing to go for that National Championship?!?

JC: If I was a betting man, I would be willing to say... ALL THE WAY!

RW: You just wanted to say "All the way" didn't you.

JC: Lacey bouncing around is awesome.

RW: Earth to John... *waves hand*

JC: Ta-ta's...*drool*

RW: We lost him...

Rising back to his feet Kris then grabs the back of Tao's mask, lifting him up as blood drips down into the ring from both competitors. Chambers then whips Tao into the corner, following him in with a stiff Yakuza kick that sends blood spraying out towards the audience who still sit simply eating this match up. Tao then collapses against the chest of Kris who backs up slowly letting his opponent hit the mat. The referee then begins to start his count. 1...2...3...4...5...6... Tao is now to his knees. 7... One foot planted on the ground. 8... Kris stops the count by grabbing the head of Tao once more picking him up and setting him on the top turnbuckle before delivering a LOUD chop to the chest of his opponent that causes almost everyone in the arena to cringe. Kris then goes for another stiff chop but his arm is kicked by Tao who quickly reaches out clutching the head of Chambers before diving out and smashing the National Champion face first into the mat, leaving a bloody head print in the center of the ring. The impact has slide Chambers almost all the way out of the other side of the ring. Both men now lie on their backs breathing heavily as the referee once again begins to count.

RW: The National Champion is laying half way out of the ring right here in front of us.

JC: You got that right Randy, and now the ref might be on his way to making this a double count-out.

RW: But then who gets the title?

JC: Well thats easy.

RW: It is?

1...2...3...4...5...

JC: Sure... Lacey, and her boobies.

RW: I hate you even more...

6...7... Chambers slides back slightly, setting both feet on the ground outside the ring, we are not sure if this is on purpose or not, but Tao is also to his feet so the referee stops the count. Tao then slowly begins to stumble towards Chambers who is attempting to get back into the ring. Tao clutches the waistband of Chambers before slicing his throat signaling the end is about to come. He hoists the champion up and uneasily sets him on the top turnbuckle of the nearest corner, pointing out directly at Randy and John who now look extremely nervous.

JC: What the hell is he thinking?!?

RW: Maybe he thinks Lacey's boobs are amazing.

JC:... How unprofessional can you be?

RW: Oh so now I am the unpro... You know what, nevermind, all I know is I don't want to be here right now.

Tao then slowly begins to climb the ropes, with each step he hits Chambers in the head or on the back with his forearm, trying to keep the champion dazed. Tao then adjusts the legs of Chambers, positioning him for what looks like a powerbomb, but something in the crowd appears to have distracted Tao for a moment, because we see Chambers fall back partially before using the ropes to pull himself and one of his fists into the sternum of Tao, knocking the wind out of the "masked madman". Chambers then takes a moment to look behind him where he can see the announcers table with two nervous announcers sitting behind it. Letting out a huge roar we see Chambers pick up Tao as if he is going to bodyslam him. But without warning he places one foot, followed by the other on the top rope before leaping off backwards and smashing both him and Tao through the table with a miraculous Moonsault Fallaway Slam. The crowd explodes as the table does the same, with both announcers catching body parts to their heads and bodies in the "car crash-esque" maneuver. The crowd now looks at the carnage as they begin to scream in a riotous fashion "This is brutal".

RW: Hol... My le...

JC: Randy... ok?... I thin... Damn that hur...

RW: Ugh... Someone bring us a new table right after this match damn it!

The referee then slides out of the ring and begins reluctantly making his count, not sure if he should call the medics down and cancel the match or not, as both men have suffered severe bloodloss...

1... 2... 3... 4... 5... Chambers begins to stir, but Tao still lays almost lifeless.

6... 7... Chambers begins to use the chain link to pull himself to his feet while Tao begins to slightly show signs of life.

8... 9... Chambers gets to his feet as Tao is now part way to a knee.

10!!! Chambers then collapses back against the cell wall as the Tao falls face first to the ground and the ref calls for the bell signaling the end of this hellacious match.

Robyn Bryne: Your winner and STIIIIIIIILL National Champion!... "WICKED" KRIS CHAMBERS!!!

The cell begins to raise up slowly as Chambers lets the links go dropping flat onto his back from exhaustion, Lacey is quick to run to his aid, helping him up to his feet as she hands him the National Championship Title, getting blood all over herself in the process.

RW: My god, that match was simply amazing John!

JC: You got that right Randy, even though I still have a dead leg, and not to mention our mics cut out for a second there, this was one for the history books.

RW: These men hated eachother, and I am sure they still do, but this showed just how much a title here in the SFT means to people.

"Stupified" by Disturbed starts to play as Chambers and Lacey make their way towards the ramp, Chambers barely able to walk still manages to raise his National Championship above his head. Medical staff then charge past him, obviously heading to the aid of Tao, who still has barely moved since the catastrophic crash through the table. A few more members of the staff then run down with a new announcers table and some brooms, attempting to clean up the mess left behind during the match.

JC: This was pure chaos Randy, and this was only the third match of the night!

RW: I know John, I know... Whats next on our list?

JC: Well it's... Oh no...

RW: What?

JC: Saint Jude versus The leader of Exile... Dameon... First burn match, for the hardcore title...

　 Static can be heard ringing through the loud speakers momentarily. Then as clouds begin to pass through the screen of the Strike-Tron we can hear lightning striking as the lights dim and strobes flash along with the crashing, the words "Continue the Revolution" appear on the screen in blood red letters, seconds later we hear the opening riffs of "King Of The World" by Porcelain And The Tramps ring out through the arena as the crowd stands to their feet knowing who is to appear. Within a few seconds we see the curtains get thrown aside, we then see the figure of Rachelle Deviose, Dameon's valet, step out onto the rampway with a large cloaked figure following closely behind this soon enough is realized to be the one and only Dameon, who tosses his hood back behind his head revealing his scarred face, wielding his ever trusty kendo stick in his right hand. As usual half and half the crowd boos and cheers for "The Beast" as him and his psychotic temptress make their way down the ramp, randomly yelling things out towards the crowd.

"Cause I'm the fucking king of the world. Get on your knees. I'm the fucking king of the world. Do as I please... So get up and get out and I'll show you. What it means for me to control you... 'Cause I'm the fucking king of the world"

The song continues to play as Dameon and Rachelle are now arriving near ringside, Dameon then grips a couple of fans shoulders, hoisting himself up onto the guardrail while raising the kendo stick high into the air, drawing a reaction from the entire crowd before him. A moment later Dameon hops down from the guardrail, hitting the ground and instantly spinning around leaping onto the apron, spinning around and throwing his arms out in a very "Messiah-like" fashion as Rachelle sits on her knees next to "The Beast" staring first up at him and then out to the crowd. Helping his valet to her feet Dameon then steps into the ring, making his way over to his corner, handing his kendo stick to Rachelle, Dameon then throws up the ever familiar "X" before he begins to loosen up for his match.

Dameon looks around him at the various pyrotechnic equipment in and around the ring before carefully taking a seat in one corner, holding the kendo stick along his leg. His music cuts out and soon after "Ring Of Fire" by Johnny Cash hits the loudspeakers.

Saint Jude steps through the curtain and walks shyly to the ring.

JC: Once again, ladies and gentlemen, the ever awe-inspiring arrival and presence of Saint Jude.

RW: Check the sarcasm at the door, buddy.

As Saint Jude walks down the ramp and lingers at ringside, referee Austin Jolley speaks to Rachelle Deviose as she stands at ringside. We don't hear what he says, but he makes a "you're out of here" gesture. Rachelle screams furiously.

RW: What's this about? Jolley is throwing Rachelle out of the ringside area for a Hardcore Championship match?!

Austin Jolly points to the explosives in the ring and around ringside as Rachelle pulls at her hair and begins to yell at him.

JC: I think he's decided that it is too dangerous for Rachelle Deviose to be out here. She clearly doesn't like the decision, but Austin Jolley isn't going to let her stand in harm's way. From his seat in the corner of the ring, Dameon calls Rachelle's name. She smiles as she looks at him. Dameon silently points up the ramp, indicating for her to go ahead to the back. Rachelle's smile turns to an angry frown or scowl. She turns away from him and stomps her foot before heading up the ramp to the locker room area.

Saint Jude hesitantly climbs into the ring and says something to referee Austin Jolley. The two of them talk for a moment as Jude removes the Hardcore Championship from around his waist and hands it over to Jolley. Jude's music cuts out as Jolley hoists the title belt for all the crowd to see, drawing cheers from the fans of hardcore wrestling.

Robyn Byrne: The following contest is a First Burn match for the Hardcore Championship! The only way to win is to successfully burn your opponent.

Robyn Byrne: Introducing first, the challenger, from SEATTLE, WASHINGTON... "THE BEAST" DAMEON!

Dameon rises out of the corner as his name is announced and he comes face to face with Saint Jude, holding the kendo stick up menacingly.

Robyn Byrne: And his opponent, from WACO, TEXAS and weighing in at 200 pounds... he is the reigning Hardcore Champion... SAINT JUDE!

Dameon takes three quick steps back as Saint Jude is announced and waves a hand to the crowd. The Beast throws the kendo stick to the canvas and then jabs a hand toward Jack Jones... throwing a FIREBALL into the face of the champion! Jude drops to his knees, clutching his face and screaming in pain. On the mat, the last of the flame burns itself out.

RW: What the Hell?!

JC: The Beast just threw a fireball in the face of The Saint!

RW: Is that it?! Did Dameon just win the Hardcore Championship?!

JC: I don't think that counts, Randy. The bell never rang. Robyn Byrne was just completing the introductions over here by us when Dameon busted out the old burning paper fireball trick and struck Jude right in the face.

Referee Austin Jolley yells at Dameon for the pre-match "magical" assault, but has little power to do much more. He assists Saint Jude in getting to his feet and brings him into a corner. A trainer trots down the ramp and slides into the ring, joining the Jolley in attending to Jude. The medical staff member applies something to the face of Saint Jude to ease the burn. As the trainer climbs back out of the ring, Jude appears to have tears of pain in his eyes, but he grits his teeth defiantly.

Austin Jolley: What do you say, Jude? You want to go ahead with the match?

With barely a nod and not a word, Saint Jude runs at Dameon and strikes with an elbow to the jaw. Austin somewhat reluctantly calls for the bell as Jude kick starts the match. Jude shoots several more rapid fire foreams to the head of the challenger.

JC: I hate to say it, but Saint Jude has been FIRED UP to start this match!

RW: Hate to say it? You've been waiting all night to say that!

JC: Oh, okay, you caught me.

RW: I can read you like a book, John.

Saint Jude continues his provoked assault with a kick to the gut followed by a right handed backfist across the jaw. Dameon staggers back into the corner, where Saint Jude dropkicks him in the chest. With The Beast sucking wind in the corner, Jude grabs Dameon's own kendo stick.

RW: Good God! What does the Saint have in mind here?

JC: Something "Beastly," I'm guessing!

Saint Jude begins swinging the singapore cane wildly, smacking the legs and chest of The Beast. Dameon tries in vain to shield himself with his arms as the repeated blows strike his torso. At last Saint Jude pulls back and smacks Dameon in the skull. The Beast falls to the mat, seated in the corner and cradling his head. Jude raises the cane over his head triumphantly.

Dameon pulls himself up while Saint Jude showboats and postures. Jude takes a defensive swing with the kendo stick as The Beast charges him. Dameon ducks under the swing and catches him with a ranhei.

JC: Whoa! Quick counter by Dameon, into a pinning situation!

RW: But there are no pins in this match, it's all about burning your opponent!

Austin Jolley just stands there with his arms out at his side, indicating he cannot make a count. Dameon recalls the stipulation and releases Saint Jude, climbing to his feet. The Beast grins and reclaims his kendo stick. Saint Jude regains his feet only to come face to face with The Beast, who pulls back and breaks the kendo stick over the Saint's head. Jude drops to the mat like a rock.

Dameon grabs the dead weight of Saint Jude and brings the smaller man to his feet. Flashing another sick grin, The Beast hooks the Saint and throws him back with a wrist clutch exploder that drops him on the back of his head.

RW: Jesus! Absolutely brutal exploder suplex by The Beast!

JC: Ya' know, Randy, you shouldn't use the name of Christ in vain like that. And for what it's worth, Kyle Murphy used to do that same move. He called it the Dublin Calling.

The Beast aggressively pulls Saint Jude up to his feet again, wasting no time before hitting the Revolutionizer. One more time Dameon pulls the motionless body of Saint Jude up off the mat. The Beast sets Jude in a standing head scissors and applies a double underhook.

JC: I'm not quite sure what this is, but I'm sure it will not be good for Saint Jude.

RW: I won't wager against that, partner. Knowing Dameon, it'll be brutal!

Dameon muscles Saint Jude over his shoulder, holding him up in a crucifix. The Beast pushes Saint Jude as high up as he can extend his arms, then throws him forward so that Jude flips over and lands face first as Dameon falls to a seated position beside him.

RW: OH! That's the Dameon Driver!

JC: Does this guy come up with some sick offense or what?!

RW: He absolutely does. And that's just his ring legal arsenal!

JC: Just end it already, Dameon. He's defenseless!

Dameon retakes his seat in the corner, casually grabbing one of the pyrotechnic casings as he does so. It takes close to a minute before Saint Jude even manages to get up to a knee, and then push himself up to his feet. Finally Saint Jude is up to his feet, though he appears to still be out of it.

JC: He's got those Krispy Kreme eyes. All glazed over.

RW: Damn it, you're making me hungry now!

"The Beast" Dameon hops back to his feet as Saint Jude stands with his back to him. Dameon does something with the cannister in his hand, and the pyrotechnic firework shoot out, striking Jude in the back. Saint Jude falls forward and lays motionless on the mat. Austin Jolley calls for the bell.

RW: Good God, it's all over!

JC: Thank God! That was just sick! Do you smell that, Randy? The flesh has just been burned off the Saint's back right in front of our eyes.

RW: Yeah, and if you can believe it, this match had the potential to be much worse with infinitely more explosions. Leave it to The Beast to execute controlled destruction and chaos.

JC: I guess Saint Jude just learned not to challenge The Beast to a match that takes you out of your own element and puts you right in Dameon's element. Jude

"King Of The World" hits again, signaling and accentuating The Beast's victory.

Robyn Byrne: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner and NEW Hardcore Champion... DAMEEEOOOOON!

JC: What a great and hellacious night for Dameon. Earlier we saw him form his own fierce faction and I think he just sent Saint Jude to the hospital en route to recapturing the Hardcore Championship.

RW: Yeah, what's next for The Beast and his demonic band of wicked monsters and miscreants?
