OPENING
The opening pyros go off in every which direction and the fans jump with
excitement as Friday Inferno hits the air.
JC: Welcome everyone to another Friday Night Inferno. I'm John Cartwright and this bum next to me is Randy White.
RW: Thanks John. I mean, hey!
JC: Well anyway we have a great show lined you for you all this evening.
RW: Yeah, alot better than last week. Tell them all about it John.
JC: Tonight XCW legend Ice makes her return match after a long leave of absence due to pregnancy.
RW: And tell them who she's fighting!
JC: I was getting to it Randy, calm down. Tonight Ice is going to take on... Hardcore Jack for the Intercontinental title!
RW: Some have raised eyebrows over Ice getting an IC title shot her first match back, but I think she deserves it.
JC: Well Randy I hope you don't waste all of your energy cheering for that match, because there's some other greats coming up as well!
RW: You ain't fooling John. We also have two fatal four way matches booked this evening. The first is a hell in the cell match between Hunter Johnson, Myris, Kirk Canyon , and Top Gun!
JC: Well if you think that's going to be great, the main event may be even better!
RW: John I'm drewling already. Andre Sheen defends his TV title against Christian Cage and another man who just made his return to the ring, ICON!
JC: Well Randy I can't wait any longer, let's start with the action!
RW: Good idea! First up is Mike Flair taking on Jed Masters.
MATCH
NUMBER ONE
Mike Flair vs. Jed Masters
Standard
Match
"Death Blooms" hits the speakers, and with that Mike Flair makes his way to the ring. He climbs the steps and walks into the ring. He starts bouncing off the ropes until Jed Masters makes his entrance. "Bad Boy For Life" hits next and out comes Jed Masters. He slides right in the ring and Flair goes for a clothesline. Referee Luke Vollenweider calls for the bell and it rings.
JC: Here we go!
Jed ducks Flair's clothesline and bounces off the other ropes. Jed comes back with a flying forearm and Flair falls to the mat. Flair bounces right back up and goes right after Jed. Jed grabs Flair by the head and slams him face first onto the turnbuckle. Jed hits a few right hands then launches Flair to the other turnbuckle. Jed charges Flair looking for a body splash but Flair gets the boot up and Jed hits it face first. Jed bounces away as Flair uses the top rope to pull himself onto the turnbuckle. Flair waits for Jed to turn around, then jumps off the second rope and catches Jed in a tornado DDT. Flair hooks the leg and Vollenweider goes down for the count. 1...2...no! Jed gets the shoulder up.
RW: Flair almost made quick work of Jed right there.
JC: No way he had him beat. Jed's going to make something out of himself, I guarantee it.
Flair gets a little steamed and quickly lifts Jed back to his feet. He throws Jed to the ropes and tries to deliver a back toss. Jed lands on his feet, and waits for Flair to turn around. When he does Jed catches him in the face with a snap kick, sending Flair staggering to the ropes. Jed bounces off the other ropes and hits Flair with a sharp drop kick. Flair falls through the ropes but hangs on long enough to catch his balance and not fall to the outside. Jed doesn't realize this and spins away to gather himself. Jed turns around to see Mike Flair trying to use the ropes to catapult himself into the ring. Flair goes for a double axe handle but Jed has time to react and hits a belly to belly suplex. Jed then crawls over and makes a cover. The ref goes to count, 1...2...kickout by Flair!
RW: Another close count.
JC: These two are really putting on a great match.
Jed sort of argues with Vollenweider but he doesn't allow it to distract him. Jed brings Flair to his side and sets him up for a vertical suplex. Jed lifts Flair straight into the air but balances him above for a minute. Jed then drops Flair to the mat and rolls over on top of him for a jack hammer suplex. Jed makes another cover, this time sticking his leg between Flair's for leverage. Vollenweider goes down again, 1...2...no, shoulder up!
RW: What a display of strength by Jed Masters.
JC: This match has been an excellent exchange so far.
Jed seems a little more angry this time but goes back to work. He let's Mike Flair get back to his feet, then starts with the right hands. Jed continuously hits Flair until he is right near the ropes. Jed looks to hit Flair over the ropes, but Flair suddenly blocks the punch and starts with some right hands of his own. Flair backs Jed to the ropes, then bounces him off of them. He grabs Jed by the arm and spins him right into an olympic suplex. Flair then quickly hops to the outside to the apron, then uses the ropes to propel himself into a body splash. He hurts himself a little and takes a second to get his wind back. Flair then falls backwards onto Jed and hooks one of his legs. Ref makes the count, 1....2....no! Jed just barely gets the shoulder up in time.
RW: Flair may have had Jed if he made the cover right away.
JC: You know, both of these guys are coming off victories from Titans. I'm amazed they're still doing well enough to put on as good a show as they are now.
RW: Oh yeah that's right John. Jed won that big rookie battle royal.
JC: And Flair beat Gravity in a pretty decent match up.
Back in the ring, Mike Flair lifts Jed Masters to his feet. Flair grabs Jed's left arm and begins yanking it right into Flair's shoulder. Flair does this again, and you can see the pain on the face of Masters. Flair pushes Jed back a little further, and repeats the process which may break Jed's arm. Flair sends Jed back again, and goes for one more shoulder breaking maneuver. On the fourth try, Jed suddenly uses the momentum given to him by Flair to spin around Flair, catch him in a rear grapple, and hit a huge German suplex! Both men are down as the referee begins to count. 1.....2....3....4....
RW: Both of these men have fought long and hard John. I think they're both ready to give up.
JC: I don't know Randy, Jed looks like he's starting to stir!
5.....6....7.... Jed gets to his feet. 8....9.... Flair stands up, but he is still staggering.
RW: It's not over yet!
Flair tries to gather himself up and run at Jed. Jed catches Flair by his legs and back body drops him to the outside. Flair manages to grab the ropes in mid air and uses them to pull himself up onto the apron. Jed doesn't realize what happened and Flair is able to grab Jed by the hair and slam him to the mat. Flair quickly climbs the turnbuckle from the outside and jumps back into the ring with a senton splash! Jed gets the wind knocked right out of him and barely staggers to his feet. He stumbles right into a boot to the stomach from Flair, followed by an even flow DDT. Jed's head bounces off the mat viciously and Flair hooks the leg!
JC: That's all she wrote right there!
Vollenweider goes for the count....
RW: 1....2....3! Flair picks up the victory!
Vollenweider calls for the bell and "Death Blooms" hits the speakers again as Flair gets up to celebrate.
JC: What a match to kick off Inferno!
RW: Jed put up a great effort but Mike Flair is walking out of Inferno with another victory.
WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Mike Flair via pinfall! {Commercial break.}
MATCH
NUMBER TWO
Mosh Girl vs. Aust
Standard Women's Match
RW: Hello again everyone and welcome back to Friday Night Inferno.
JC: Well folks if you thought our last match was great, you haven't seen anything yet!
RW: Calm down John!
JC: How can I calm down? Mosh Girl is fighting Aust in the next match! Woooooooooooooohoooooooooooo!
"Tougher Than Leather" hits the speakers and the fans erupt as the lovely Mosh Girl makes her way to the ring. She blows a kiss to a man in the front row with a Mosh Girl sign, and the fan goes insane. Mosh Girl climbs the steps slowly, then enters the ring through the middle rope, taking extra time to bend over in the middle of the ropes. Mosh gets in the ring and raises her arms as the crowd applauds. Mosh's music dies out, then "TV Party" hits. Aust comes out to a pretty good reaction herself, but she waste no time show boating, she runs right to the ring.
RW: Here we go!
JC: Oh baby! I love Mosh Girl, I don't know what she sees in that Knife character.
Referee Leon Tyson is officiating this one, and he calls for the bell to start the match. Mosh Girl circles around Aust for a minute, then they lock up. Mosh Girl starts things off with a snapmare take down. Mosh then locks in a head lock, but Aust quickly battles out with elbows to the gut. Aust takes to the ropes and nails a cross body. She hooks the leg and Leon makes the count, 1...no! Kickout by Mosh Girl. Aust lifts Mosh Girl back to her feet and throws her to the ropes. Aust ducks down looking for a back body drop, but she telegraphed the move and Mosh catches Aust in a swinging neck breaker. Mosh hooks the leg now and Tyson goes for the count again, 1...2...no! Shoulder up by Aust.
RW: This match is going very high paced, we've had two near falls already!
JC: I don't want this match to end quickly, this is great!
Mosh Girl picks Aust back up and sets her up for a snap suplex. Mosh Girl lands the suplex then climbs to the top. She goes for a body splash, but Aust rolls out of the way! Mosh Girl sees her move, and is able to roll on the mat and spring to her feet without getting hurt. Aust spins around, and is caught with a spin kick right to the chest.
JC: AH! She might have popped something!
Mosh Girl bounces off the ropes and goes for a leg drop. Aust rolls out of the ring and starts walking up the ramp before Mosh can do a thing.
RW: Looks like Aust has had enough.
Mosh Girl stands in the ring getting upset that Aust is walking away. Leon Tyson makes a ten count, then calls for the bell.
JC: Damn, I wanted a big cat fight!
"Tougher Than Leather" hits again as Mosh Girl celebrates in the ring anyway.
WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Mosh Girl via count out!
BACKSTAGE
The camera shows four different angles of Hunter Johnson, Myris, Kirk Canyon, and Top Gun all heading to the ring.
JC: Randy, these four look ready for battle!
RW: Hunter, Myris, Canyon, and Top Gun, all in the hell in a cell, next!
{Commercial break.}
MATCH NUMBER THREE
Hunter Johnson vs. Myris vs. Kirk Canyon vs. Top Gun
Fatal Four Way Hell in a Cell Match
RW: We're back again and our next match should be an incredible one!
Before Randy or John can continue speaking, "We Are Here" explodes into the arena, and Hunter "Hardknox" Johnson walks down to the ring.
JC: Johnson is out here early, the cell isn't even lowered yet!
RW: This may be one of the best matches we've ever had on Inferno John. I can't wait to get started!
In the ring Hunter Johnson paces around as the cell slowly lowers to the ring. After two whole minutes of lowering, the cell finally reaches the ground. Just as the huge cell hits, "Voices" begins to play over the speakers. Myris walks out accompanied by Dave Young. Myris walks through the cell door and rolls into the ring. Hunter and Myris stare each other down as they wait for Kirk Canyon and Top Gun. "Perfect Strangers" hits, then K.C. Kirk Canyon walks down to the ring. He steps into the cell and gets in the ring with Myris and Hunter. The three begin to circle around each other, watching their backs and staring their enemies down. Top Gun's music hits last, and he comes down to the ring with Riot Pig. Riot Pig and Dave Young stare each other down on the outside as the four competitors stare each other down in the ring. Referees Ashton White and Chris Nevels come down to the ring. Nevels gets in the cell to officiate the match. Ashton stays on the outside and looks the cell door shut with a chain. Nevels calls for the bell, and the action begins!
JC: Oh my, here we go!
Myris acts like he is going to go for Top Gun, but turns and attacks Canyon with a clothesline. Myris lifts KC up and backs him into the turnbuckle. Myris starts to repeatedly chop KC in the chest. At the same time, Hunter Johnson uses Myris's distraction to his advantage. HJ quickly grapples with TG and flips him into a fireman carry. TG flips then rolls into the ropes. HJ catches him on the rebound and delivers a tornado back breaker. HJ follows up with a sharp elbow drop and makes a cover. Ref Nevels slides in the ring and makes the count, 1....2....no! Myris turned around and broke the count with a kick to the head. Myris now picks up HJ and throws him into the corner where KC is. KC burst out and hits HJ with a clothesline. Myris sees KC and goes to attack, but he falls to a KC clothesline as well. Top Gun is just getting up now and KC goes to work on him. KC throws TG to the ropes then delivers a huge back body drop. Everyone is down except KC so he show boats.
RW: Big mistake by Canyon in my view. He has everyone down, he should be all over them!
KC lifts Top Gun to his feet, then hits him with a huge head butt. TG staggers to the corner and KC walks over to him. KC slaps TG with all of his might right on the chest, then props TG on the top turnbuckle. KC then lifts TG off, and holds him military press style. KC continues to hold TG, then turns around to see HJ standing. HJ comes off the ropes and drop kicks KC right in the face. This causes KC to lose his balance, and he falls backwards with TG on top of him with a cover. Nevels slides in, 1....2....kickout by KC.
JC: What a move by Hunter Johnson, he almost cost himself the match though!
HJ walks over to KC and begins to put the boots to him. Myris is back in the action and he lifts TG to his feet. Myris throws TG to the ropes, then hits the mat as TG bounces back. TG trips and goes flying through the middle rope to the outside. Myris climbs to the top rope, then waits for TG to get up. Myris then dives to the outside with a missile dropkick and connects with TG's face. TG goes flying into the cell and bounces back hard. Both Myris and TG are down on the outside.
RW: I think that was the greatest move I've ever seen out of Myris!
Back in the ring, Hunter Johnson has Canyon down in the corner. HJ is using his foot to choke KC, but Nevels steps in and breaks it up after five. HJ pushes Nevels away and lifts KC back to his feet. HJ sets up for a vertical suplex, then switches it up into a falcon's arrow. He holds KC down for the cover, 1....2....no! Myris pulls HJ off the cover.
JC: Good save by Myris.
Myris gets in the ring now and starts stomping on HJ. KC rolls to the outside and goes to attack Top Gun, who is leaning on the apron. Suddenly TG spins around and cracks KC with a chair, busting him wide open.
RW: Where the hell did he get that chair from?
JC: Probably under the ring apron.
TG throws the chair down then lifts KC to his feet. He kicks KC in the gut, then tries to plant him with a DDT onto the chair. KC counters by lifting TG off the ground, taking a few steps back, then side walk slamming him onto the chair!
RW: Ouch! You know that had to hurt.
JC: Well I didn't think it tickled Randy!
KC walks away from Top Gun now, and tries to catch his breath. In the ring, Myris has Hunter set up for a powerbomb. Myris lifts Hunter off the ground, but Hunter counters into a hurricane rana pin. Nevels counts, 1...2....shoulder up! Hunter gets up, looking a little angry. He lifts Myris up and grabs him around the head. He brings Myris head down to his side, then spins around, setting up for a power neck breaker. HJ hits the neck breaker, then he walks towards the ropes. HJ slowly climbs the ropes and makes his way to the top. On the outside, Top Gun quickly gets to his feet. TG reaches under the ring apron and grabs a table. He quickly sets it up in the corner of the cell, then climbs onto the apron and tries to stop Hunter. He hits Hunter with a few right hands, then climbs the turnbuckle from the opposite side. The two battle it out at the top, and TG takes control. He hooks him up for a suplex as the fans look on in awe.
RW: No way, no way Top Gun does this!
JC: He's going to suplex Hunter to hell!
Suddenly Hunter hits a few right hands into the gut of TG. He breaks the hold then slaps TG in the face a few times. Hunter climbs to the very top turnbuckle, and places Top Gun between his legs.
RW: Oh no, is he going to?
JC: I think so!
Hunter sets up, then powerbombs TG off the top through the table on the outside! TG looks like he is dead because he isn't moving at all. Hunter waste no time, and quickly goes for a moonsault on the knocked out Myris behind him. He lands it and hooks the leg, Nevels counts 1....2.....??? KC pulled Nevels out of the ring! KC quickly gets in the ring and waits for HJ to get up, kick to the gut, Canyon Stunner!
RW: Holy crap! First Top Gun is powerbombed through a table, then a huge moonsault, then a Canyon Stunner!
JC: Then you said holy crap and I slapped you!
On the outside, Nevels takes a minute to gather himself. Nevels slides in the ring slowly, then tries to count, 1.........2........no! Hunter gets the shoulder up.
RW: He kicked out!
JC: I can't believe it, and neither can Canyon!
Canyon gets up very pissed off. He pushes Nevels into the corner and yells at him. Nevels says it was only a two count, then KC starts to walk away. Nevels calms down, but KC quickly turns back and grabs Nevels by the head, then plants him with a Canyon Cutter!
RW: Referee down!
JC: What the hell is wrong with Canyon!
Canyon then turns around and is met by Hunter spinning him into The Last Sin! Hunter hooks the leg, but there isn't a ref!
RW: 1.....2.....3.....4......5.....6.... Hunter has the damn win!!!
JC: You idiot, it doesn't matter there isn't a ref!
Ref Aston decides to open the locked cell and enter himself. He takes a minute to open the door, then he quickly runs into the ring to count. He slaps the mat, 1.....2.....no! Myris breaks the count with an elbow to the back of Johnson's head.
RW: So close!
Myris now rolls HJ out of the way and covers KC himself! Ashton counts, 1....2.....kickout by Canyon. Myris lifts Canyon up, then backs him to the ropes. Myris Irish whips Canyon to the other ropes, then wraps him up in a sleeper. Suddenly both men fall because Top Gun is back up and has dropkicked Myris in the back.
JC: Top Gun is back up? I thought he died.
RW: Looks like nothing is going to keep him down, he might win this match John!
Top Gun lifts KC back up and spin kicks him out of the ring. Hunter goes after TG, but TG sees him coming and hits a hip toss which sends HJ rolling out of the ring. TG turns around and lifts Myris up. He tosses Myris to the ropes then belly to belly suplexes him. Myris springs back up and charges back at Top Gun. TG is ready for him and scoops him into a side slam. TG hooks the leg and Ref Ashton slaps the mat twice before Myris gets the shoulder up. On the outside KC and HJ start battling it out again. KC grabs HJ by the head, and slams it off the cell. KC then grabs HJ by the arm and whips him into the steel steps. He hits so hard that ha goes flipping over them and his body slams into the side of the cell again. KC then waits for HJ to get back up, then runs and uses the steps to get air born. He goes for a flying clothesline, but HJ moves and KC flies right into the cell himself. Both men are now down and out on the outside. Ref Nevels is starting to stir, and he begins to climb to his feet back on the inside. At the same time, Myris reverses and Irish whip that Top Gun tries. Myris catches TG with a boot to the face, then tries to catch his breath. Myris paces around for a minute, and TG gets back to his feet. Myris bounces off the ropes, then dives at TG and grabs him for a falling neck breaker. Myris quickly climbs to the top, and looks to end it. He sets up then nails the Satan Street frog splash.
JC: Myris has done it, this one is over!
Ref Ashton goes for the count, 1....2....??? Out of no where, Hunter jumps off the other turnbuckle and nails The Aftershock on both Myris and Top Gun!
RW: Oh my! Myris had it one but what a move by Hunter Johnson!
Myris rolls off of Top Gun, and Hunter takes a second to gather himself as he crawls over to cover Top Gun himself. At the same time, Kirk Canyon gets back in the ring, and grabs the staggering Myris by the head and nails the Canyon Cutter! Hunter covers Top Gun but Kirk is covering Myris! Ref Ashton looks at Hunter and Ref Nevels is up and looking at Canyon, both count 1....2....3!!! Both refs stand up and call for the bell!
JC: What the?
RW: Who wins?
JC: Kirk had Myris pinned, but Hunter had Top Gun pinned at the same time!
The cell begins to raises as Ref Nevels and Ref Ashton argue with each other about who the winner should be. Hunter and Canyon don't even realize what is going on yet, both are just trying to stand. After awhile, both men realize what is going on and start arguing with the referees themselves.
RW: Who should be the winner?
JC: I don't know Randy, it looked like Hunter and KC were both making the cover at the same time.
Suddenly "The New Style" hits and President Facilitator walks onto the stage holding a mic.
PF: Hunter, Kirk, great job by the both of you. That was a good show the two of you just put on. Unfortunately, it's hard to say who won. You both made a cover, and two official referees counted at the same time. So what I'm going to do is book a match between the two of you sometime next week to see who the better man is. Great job tonight guys, keep up the good work!
"The New Style" hits again and the president walks to the back. Hunter and Kirk stare each other down as Inferno goes to commercial.
WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Hunter Johnson & Kirk Canyon via double pinfall! {Commercial break.}
RW: We're back again and what a huge announcement we just heard.
JC: That's right our president just booked a big match for next week after an awesome match between four of our bright young superstars. Let's see the replay of that now.

Hunter and Ref Nevels is up and looking at Canyon, both count 1....2....3!!!

RINGSIDE
RW: I can't wait for that match John. After what these two went through tonight, it should be very interesting to watch them fight again.
JC: Ok, let's move on.
"Frequency" hits and "Maverick" Mark Barnes walks down to the ring along with Rachel. The fans keep chanting hootie, and you can see that it bothers her. Rachel aka Hootie McBooberson takes her place at ringside. Barnes bounces off the ropes as he waits for Nightmare. Barnes bounces off the ropes again but suddenly falls to the mat. Nightmare is on the outside and he hit him in the back with a chair. Nightmare rolls in the ring and Ref Leon Tyson calls for the bell.
RW: Nightmare has the early advantage.
JC: So you think, look now!
Nightmare goes for another chair shot, but Barnes hops to his feet and spin kicks the chair back into Nightmare's face. Barnes then places the chair on Nightmare's chest. Barnes goes to the ropes and comes off with a senton splash onto the chair. Barnes then rolls to the outside and lifts the curtain on the ring apron. He pulls out a trash can with all sorts of metal objects in it. Two baking pans, a ped x-ing sign, a fire extinguisher, and a frying pan. Also in the can is a broom, mop, and metal dust pan. Barnes throws the trash can into the ring. He then goes back under the ring apron and pulls out a ladder meant to be used later in the night, and a table. Barnes slides these two objects into the ring as well. Barnes jumps onto the apron and pulls himself back in the ring.
RW: Barnes is hardcore, there's no doubt about that.
Barnes walks over to Nightmare and gives him a quick Russian leg sweep. Barnes goes back to the object he brought into the ring and begins setting up shop. He positions the ladder diagonal in the corner. On the opposite side he leans the table in the same manner. Barnes then empties out the trash can and picks up a backing pan. He waits for Nightmare to get up, then cracks him in the head with it. Barnes throws the dented pan down to the mat, and backs Nightmare into the corner. He ties Nightmare's arms in the ropes, then grabs the broom and the mop. He sticks the mop end into the face of Nightmare, just to insult him a little. Barnes then takes the stick end of the mop and breaks it over Nightmare's head. Nightmare falls, but he is still tied in the ropes and can't move. Barnes grabs the street sign and first shoves the sharp end into Nightmare's gut. He then lifts Nightmare up and cracks the sign over his head. Barnes then throws down the street sign and walks to the pile of weapons. He looks them over thinking, and picks up the metal chair. Barnes winds up and charges at Nightmare with the chair. Nightmare quickly slips out of the ropes as Barnes swings. The chair bounces off the top rope and springs right back into Barnes' face. Barnes falls to the mat grabbing his head as Nightmare staggers to his feet.
JC: That's got to suck to be Barnes. This is Nightmare's chance to capitalize.
Nightmare pulls Barnes up by his hair, then throws him into the corner with the ladder. Nightmare starts stomping away on Barnes' midsection. Nightmare then walks over to the pile of weapons and picks up the trash can. Nightmare turns around and bashes the trash can over Barnes' head. Nightmare then places the trash can down and places Barnes on the third rung of the ladder. Nightmare careful climbs onto the second rung and jumps up, catching Barnes into a perfect hurricane rana, bringing is head right into the trash can. Barnes is busted open and Nightmare sees what he's done. Nightmare takes advantage and hooks the leg. Tyson counts, 1....2....kickout by Barnes. Nightmare quickly picks Barnes back up and tries to whip him into the corner with the table placed in it. Barnes somehow reverses and throws Nightmare into the corner with the ladder. Nightmare bounces out grabbing his back and staggers right into a boot from Barnes. Barnes then bounces off the ropes himself and bulldogs Nightmare onto the street sign. Nightmare is busted open now and there is blood everywhere. Both men stagger to their feet and Nightmare charges Barnes. Barnes ducks and back tosses Nightmare into the table! The table doesn't break though, and Nightmare uses it to spring into a tornado DDT on Barnes right onto one of the baking pans!
RW: My God!
JC: What a move by Nightmare!
Nightmare then gets up and grabs the ladder. He pulls it off of the turnbuckle and sets it up. Nightmare then grabs the table and sets that up to. He sets the table so that the rungs of the ladder are facing it. Nightmare then rolls Barnes onto the table and calls for the end. Nightmare climbs to the top of the ladder and raises his arms in victory. Out of the corner of his eye, he can see a black object in Barnes' hand, but it's too late. Barnes lifts his hand up and he's holding the hose of the fire extinguisher! He sprays mist into the face of Nightmare and causes him to stagger on the ladder. Barnes then stands on the table and hops onto the opposite side of the ladder. He climbs to the top quickly and wraps his arm around Nightmare's neck.
RW: No he won't do it.
JC: Yes he will!
Barnes calls for it, then jumps off the ladder holding Nightmare and executes The Freezeline through the table, smashing it into pieces!
RW: OH MY GOD!
JC: That was great!
RW: Freezeline off the ladder through a table! It's over, we have a new hardcore champ!
Barnes uses everything he has left to barely drape is arm over Nightmare. Leon Tyson makes the count, 1....2....3! Tyson calls for the bell and awards Mark Barnes the title! Barnes takes the hardcore title and raises it high over his head. Rachel gets in the ring to celebrate with him.
JC: What a match between Nightmare and Mark Barnes.
RW: That really was extreme John, it will be tough living up to that one.
JC: God win by Maverick Mark Barnes.
WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Mark Barnes via pinfall!

MATCH
NUMBER SIX
Christian Cage vs. The ICON vs. Andre Sheen
Three Way Television Title Ladder Match
The advertisement introducing the main event flashes on the screen. It fades away and the arena is shown once again. There is a ladder set up on the outside right in front of the ring, and there are a few more stashed underneath the ring.
JC: This should be a hell of a main event to top off a hell of a night!
"Crush Em" hits the speakers and Christian Cage walks onto the ramp. He starts to showboat when suddenly his music stops playing and his entrance video changes into the words "Get ready, because we're taking over!" start flashing on the tron.
RW: What the hell is this?
JC: I have no idea.
RW Who's taking over?
The words flash for about a minute then stop. "Crush Em" starts to play again and Christian Cage's video plays again. He shrugs the weird occurrence off and walks down to the ring.
JC: That was weird Randy, something fishy is going on.
"Last Resort" hits next, and ICON runs down to the ring and waste no time. ICON gets right in and spears CC to the mat. ICON lifts CC up and throws him to the ropes, then brings him down with a hip toss. ICON locks in a solid headlock as "Lord of the Thighs" hits and "Uncovered" Andre Sheen walks out with the TV title on his shoulder and Eva by his side. Sheen sees the action going on in the ring and quickly runs in to join. Sheen breaks the headlock with an elbow drop. Referee Adam Brooks calls for the bell to start the match. Sheen lifts ICON off of CC and starts off with some right hands. ICON quickly counters and nails some right hands of his own. He backs Sheen into the corner and starts hitting him with rights, lefts, and some boots. ICON then turns around to work on CC. CC sees him coming and is able to setup and nail a snap suplex. CC then has his back turned to Sheen, who nails a dropkick. Sheen is in control now as he throws CC to the outside. Sheen brings ICON to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Sheen bounces off the ropes himself and nails a huge clothesline. ICON bounces right back up so Sheen starts a series of chops to the chest. Sheen then pulls ICON out a little and sets him up for a suplex. Instead of a regular suplex, Sheen moves ICON forward and drops him spread eagle onto the top turnbuckle. Sheen then climbs to the top himself and hits a superplex.
RW: Nice suplex by the champ.
Sheen rolls to the outside and grabs the ladder already setup. He folds it shut then tosses it in the ring. Suddenly CC blindsides him and spin kicks his face. Sheen is down on the outside and CC rolls into the ring. He picks up the ladder Sheen slid in and slams it down on ICON's chest. CC then sets the ladder up in the middle of the ring and starts to climb.
JC: Christian Cage is looking for the early win!
CC is at the third rung when Sheen slowly slides back into the ring. By the time CC is at the fifth rung Sheen is up and he pushes the ladder. CC falls awkwardly and appears to hurt his ankle. Sheen walks over to him and wrenches the ankle even more. Sheen picks up the ladder, then drops it right onto CC's ankle. Sheen turns around and ICON is there waiting for him, looking for the Showstoppa! Sheen is able to duck, but ICON still catches him with a leg sweep.
RW: ICON is very quick with his legs, always has been.
ICON then rolls Sheen out of the ring and turns back to CC. ICON lifts CC to his feet and throws him to the ropes. CC falls right into a drop toe hold, then ICON follows up with an ankle lock. CC screams in complete pain as his nearly broken angle gets closer and closer to snapping. CC reaches for the ropes with all he has but it doesn't matter because it's a ladder match.
JC: ICON is going to break Christian Cage's ankle!
RW: He's very smart. Christian isn't going to be climbing any ladders with a broken ankle.
CC begins tapping out, even though it doesn't matter. ICON doesn't let go and you can see more and more pain in Cc's face. Suddenly ICON releases the hold and lies on the mat, Sheen has just missile drop kicked him from off the top! CC rolls to the outside grabbing his ankle as Sheen grabs a ladder and sets it up. Sheen then goes to the outside and grabs another ladder from underneath the ring. Sheen slides it in the ring, then kicks CC before getting back in the ring himself. Sheen sets leans the other ladder in the corner and waits for ICON to get up. Sheen slams ICON back first into the ladder, then kicks him a few times before climbing the other ladder. Sheen sees that ICON is starting to move, so he jumps in his direction. ICON moves, catches Sheen by the head in mid air, and slams him into the ladder. Sheen bounces out of the corner, and ICON plants him with a spinebuster. Both men are down.
JC: These two have been going at it all week!
RW: They are certainly giving us the match they promised us!
ICON is up first and he climbs the ladder. Sheen can barely get up, so he uses the other ladder to help him. He sets it up and slowly starts to climb. The two meet at the top and start slugging it out. ICON slams Sheen's face off the ladder and Sheen almost falls. ICON suddenly throws his foot into Sheen's face and nails the Showstoppa!
JC: HOLY SHIT! Ladder to ladder Showstoppa!
Sheen flies off the ladder, hits the ropes, bounces into his ladder, and knocks it into Icon's ladder, ICON falls spread eagle on the top rope, then drops to the outside.
RW: What chaos!
JC: Everyone is down!
CC is the first man up, and he rolls back into the ring. He picks up one of the ladders and sets it up.
RW: Don't tell me Christian Cage is going to win this?
JC: I'll give you fifty dollars if he does. If he loses you buy my Dr Peppers for the rest of the year.
RW: Deal! Christian Cage has his hands on the belt!
At the last possible second, Sheen pushes the ladder. CC falls over ICON who is on the apron, and to the outside.
RW: You prefer diet or regular?
JC: Haha! Regular!
ICON gets in the ring now, and meets Sheen in the ring. ICON hits a few rights, steps back, and sets up for another Showstoppa. Sheen catches his foot this time and spins him into an atomic drop. Sheen quickly climbs the ladder, and looks to grab his belt. He looks down at ICON though, and seems to think it over. Sheen suddenly jumps and hits a frog splash on ICON!
RW: Nude Era! Nude Era! It's got to be over!
JC: I think Sheen hurt himself just as much though!
Sheen slowly crawls to the ladder again, and picks it up. He sets the ladder right under his belt, and starts climbing. ICON slowly gets up as well, he starts climbing on the other side.
RW: I don't like the look of this!
ICON gets just as high as Sheen, and they both slug it out as they make their way to the top. They slam each other's head off the top of the ladder, but neither falls. Instead they both stagger, and try to grab the belt. They both grab it at the same time, but it doesn't unsnap!
JC: Who has it?
RW: Who is going to take it home?
Christian Cage gets back in the ring, he quickly pushes the ladder, but Sheen and ICON hang on to the belt and are hanging in mid air.
JC: Oh my God!
RW: This is great!
Christian Cage gets pissed and starts swinging at them with the ladder. Neither men fall though.
JC: Christian Cage has turned Andre Sheen and The ICON into human piñatas!
ICON waits for CC to swing again, then kicks at the ladder. This causes it to spring back into Cc's head and he falls to the mat, ladder on top of him.
RW: This is so intense!
ICON and Sheen begin to battle it out gladiator style, holding on to the belt and kicking at each other with all they've got. ICON wraps his legs around Sheen's head and tries to rip him off the belt. Sheen falls! No! Sheen grabs Icon's legs! Sheen starts climbing back up to the belt using ICON as a rope.
JC: Now that is the first time I have ever seen that.
Sheen makes his way back to the belt. Both men are once again hanging until Sheen throws out own last desperation kick and ICON falls on top of CC and the ladder below! Sheen grabs the strap holding the belt with one hand, then rips the belt free with the other. Sheen let's himself fall to the mat as Adam Brooks calls for the bell. "Lord of the Thighs" hits again as Sheen raises the TV title over his head.
RW: Andre Sheen has done it! Andre has retained his title!
JC: What a match by all three guys, especially ICON and Andre.
Sheen is raising the belt over his head, when suddenly ICON spins him around and hits him with another Showstoppa!
RW: Come on!
JC: What the hell!
Suddenly the lights go out. They come back on seconds later, and Dave Steel is in the ring, but he's not alone, he's with Dave Van Dam!
RW: It's Dave van Dam! It's Dave van Dam!
JC: Oh my God it's Dave van Dam!
Van Dam jumps and spin kicks ICON in the face. Dave Steel runs to the ropes and hits Blades of Steel. The fans are going wild and chanting DVD, DVD, DVD.
RW: Dave van Dam is back! Is he with the Regulators? Why is he with Dave Steel?
DVD gets up and looks at Andre Sheen now. DVD starts walking towards a staggering Andre Sheen but Dave Steel puts his hand out. Dave then grabs Sheen's hand, and DVD's hand, and raises them both.
JC: What the hell is this?
RW: Is Van Dam a Regulator?
JC: I guess we'll find out sooner or later!
WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Andre Sheen via grabbing the title!
INFERNO CLOSING
