BAM! KA-POW! KA-BOOM! Pyro lights up the large Inferno stage and the crowd pans the fanatic fans at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles yell thier asses off.
 
RW: Welcome to Friday Night Inferno!
 
JC: The very first of many Infernos under Ms. Kate Madison's rule!
 
RW: That's right, we have a great night planned for all of you!
 
JC: Yes, and the night will cap off with a highly anticipated title match between Nirvana and Burton Edwards.
 
RW: Yes, I can't wait. But first... we have two rookies, Max vs. Manix!
 
- Match One -
Manix versus Max
[ Singles Match ]
Both Manix and Max are in the ring as the bell rings.
 
JC: Nothin like a good rookie match!
 
Max charges Manix and attempts a clothsline, Manix ducks and Max's momentum spins him arond. Manix kixks Max in the stomach and gives him a stong DDT. He doesn't let go of his head and locks in a UFC-like submission move.
 
RW: I can hear Max's neck wrenching from here!
 
The pressure on Max's neck is too much, and he taps out quickly!
 
RW: Manix makes quick work of Max.
 
JC: I see that Manix has a bright future in SFT.
 
[ The feed cuts backstage where we scan across the lockerroom area. Out of a door to our left walks SFT Television Champion, Riley Thorne. Riley, who's dressed in street clothes and his leather jacket, walks out of the door grinning. He turns to his left and paces off down the hallway. The crowd cheers and boos at the site of Riley with a mixed reaction. ]

JC: "Riley Thorne is in the house tonight!"

RW: "What the hell is he doing here? He doesn't have a match tonight!"

JC: "Looks like maybe he's here to finish some unsettled business."

RW: "I guess we'll find out."

 

- Match Two -
The Black Ninja versus Maxx Crimson

[ Singles Match ]
 

Maxx Crimson stands in the ring waiting for Black Ninja.
 
JC: Where the Hell is Black Ninja?
 
From nowhere, a large ball of smoke appears in the ring behind Maxx. The Black Ninja appears and jumps through the air, preforming a perfect spinning kick to Maxx Crimson's face. Crimson flys backward about 20 feet, out of the ring, and onto the ramp.
 
RW: Holy crap!
 
The referee starts a 10 count. 1.....2.....3.....4.....5.....6.....7.....8.....9.....10!
 
RW: Maxx Crimson is out cold!
 
JC: The Blank Ninja gets an impressive victory!
 
anishinabe is seen entering the area. he is holding not only his wreatling bag but also a sledgehammer. As he walks through the parking area he notices Manix leaning against a Mercedes SL 600 Roadster.  anishinabe throws the hammer at manix who out of shear luck is able to dodge out of the way.  A loud boom is heard as the sledge hammer slams through the driverside window of the car. manix looks at anishinabe and at the hammer and mutter to himself

manix: Damn I thought he only threw a tomahawk. (Now speaking so anishinabe can hear him)  Anish, just the man I was looking for.

Anish charges manix. manix not wanting to get killed slides across the hood of the car before anish gets ahold of him.  anish pulls the sledge hammer out of the broken window and slams it down on the roof of the car. manix from some reason starts to laugh and then quickly stops as anish starts to move around the rear of the car.  Manix counters by moving towards the front of the car.

Manix: Anish about last week, I didn't know that was your car. I have brought a peace offering. This car, I picked this up for you.

reaching into his pocket manix pulls out the car keys and hits the trunk release. The trunk opens as you see it is filled with six cases of bombay.

Manix: See, who else would have a car filled with bombay.

anishinabe looks into the trunk and smiles. He holds his hand into the air as manix tosses him the keys.

anish: Your right white man, this must be my car.

manix walks off towards the back rooms as anishinabe looks over his car and the damage he has just done to it.
 
- Match Three -
Havoc versus Bryan Statis
[ Singles Match ]  
 
The scene opens in Kate Madison's office. The door opeand Bryan Statis comes stroming in.
 
Kate Madison: What are you doing in here? You have a match.
 
Bryan Statis: At Memories, I won the Six-Pack challenge for a US title shot.
 
Kate Madison: I know.
 
Bryan Statis: I refuse to wrestle until I get that shot. I know the manegement, they will procrastinate until they just plain forget, and I become a speck from the past.
 
Kate Madison: Okay, you're right. Not next week, but the week after, you'll face Louis Cypher for the United States Championship. Now go out there and wrestle.
 
Bryan Statis, Maybe you didn't hear me... I am not going to wrestle, until I get my title shot.
 
Bryan Statis walks out of Kate's office, as Kate looks pissed. She picks up the phone and dials a number as the screen fades to the ring after Havoc has entered the ring. His music quiets down as he paces the ring, ready to fight. Kate Madison appears on the StrikeTron.
 
Kate Madison: Havoc... I'm sorry to tell you that Bryan Statis will not be fighting you tonight, which means you win via forfeit. I feel terrible about this situation, so I have taken the liberty to book a match for next week. You will be facing the winner of tonights main event in a world title match! So take a break and start training.
 
Havoc smiles and shrugs his shoulders and starts to head to the back
 
[ Havoc starts to leave the ring when a man in a black leather jacket with his black hair pulled into a ponytail, jumps over the railing with a louisville slugger in his hands. It's SFT Television Champion, Riley Thorne! He jumps into the ring behind Havoc and swings the bat right over the back of his head. Havoc falls to the ground and Riley begins to stomp on the back of his head. Havoc lays in the middle of the ring motionless as the entire arena is filled with boos. He then calls for something to the announcers, and they toss him a microphone. ]

Riley Thorne: "Havoc. I offered you the chance of a lifetime and you shoved me to the gutters. I offered you a proposition that you very well should have accepted. Now look at you. Laying in the middle of the ring with nothing at all going for you, except a swelling knot on the back of your skull."

[ Riley squats down next to Havoc's face, all the while pointing a finger in his face. He puts the microphone back up to his lips and begins to speak. ]

Riley Thorne: "Havoc, you made a big mistake my friend. Before the only enemy you had was that fuckin' nobody, Nirvana. Now look what you had to go and do. You had to go and piss me off. Now look at yourself, laying in a puddle of your own blood. There's more where that came from Havoc, so you'd best watch your back, son."

"To the rest of you punks backstage, look what happened to him. I SAID LOOK AT HIM!"

"This is what happens to you when you don't co-operate with the new revolution. This is what happens when you turn me down. And this is what happens when you think I'm nothing more than a pushover. Fuck you, Havoc."

"By the way, when you are suffering, Havoc ... Know that I have betrayed you."

[ With that, Riley stands up and throws the microphone down on Havoc and begins to walk out of the arena with nothing but the crowd's boos to keep him company. Riley throws his hands in the air along with his bat while he's turning facing the ring walking backwards out of the arena. The scene fades on Havoc's body laying motionless. ]

Ray Cross versus Anishinabe versus Agent Orange
[ Triple Threat Match ]  
 
Agent Orange is already in the ring, when Ray Cross' music hits. Ray comes from the crowd and sneaks behing Agent Orange. He turns him around and hits an implant DDT! He quickly pins him...

1...

The pin's broken up by Anishinabe, who came from seemingly nowhere. Ray Cross and Anishinabe trade chops to the chest. Ray Cross gets the upper hand, but Anishinabe racks Cross' eyes, and then hits a step up enziguiri. Ray Cross falls to his knees, and then falls flat on his face. Anishinabe pins.

Cross kicks out. Anishinabe picks Ray Cross up and whips him to the ropes and hits a quick belly to belly suplex, that sends Ray Cross rolling out of the ring. Anishinabe stands and is about to follow Ray Cross when Agent Orange comes out of no where, and springboards off the middle rope in front of Anishinabe, and hits a headscissors. Anishinabe lands laying down, parallel with the opposite ropes. Agent Orange rushes and hits a rolling thunder on Anishinabe. Orange pins.

1...

2...

Anishinabe puts a foot on the rope, and Agent Orange argues with the ref. As this goes on, Ray Cross comes in the ring behind Agent Orange and hits a reverse DDT. Ray Cross then picks up Agent Orange and sets him up for a sharshooter, but Anishinabe sends up springboarding off the middle rope and hitting a standing moonsault on Ray Cross, who let go of Agent Orange. Anishinabe ends up pinning Ray Cross.

1...

2...

Agent Orange breaks the pin and whips Anishinabe to the ropes. Anishinabe rebounds and goes for a spinning wheel kick, but Agent Orange dodges out of the way, and Anishinabe ends up connecting on the barely standing Ray Cross. Anishinabe gets up and turns towards Agent Orange, and gets a superkick for his troubles. Agent Orange walks over to Ray Cross, and picks him up and whips him to the corner. Agent Orange follows in, but Cross moves, sending Orange ramming into the turnbuckles. Ray Cross sets up Agent Orange on the top rope. Ray Cross gets up on the 2nd rope, and hooks Agent Orange for a tiger driver. Before Ray Cross has a chance to hit it Anishinabe runs and hooks a side russian legsweep on Cross, on the 2nd rope. As Anishinabe hits the russian legsweep, Ray Cross hits the tiger driver on Agent Orange. All three men are laid out on the mat.

RW: Oh......my!

JC: ....Sweet Jesus, I think they're all dead.

Anishinabe is the first to stir. He groggily gets up, and looks at Ray Cross laying on the mat, and Agent Orange trying to get up. Anishinabe runs to the ropes to hit a lionsault. Agent Orange gets up as this is happening, and when Anishinabe bounces off the springboard for the lionsault, Agent Orange hits a Yakuza Kick on Anishinabe. Anishinabe ends up landing on his head on the mat, and just lays there. Agent Orange falls back down, still worn out from the tiger driver. Agent Orange slowly gets up and picks up Ray Cross. Agent Orange tries for a Death Valley Driver, but Ray Cross hops out of it, and spins Agent Orange around and goes for a snap piledriver. Ray Cross lays there beside Agent Orange, and slowly rolls over and lays his arm on Agent Orange.

3!!!!!

 

Suddenly "Play God" blares over the arena PA and Justin Paige runs down to the ring! He slids in and immedietly goes after anishinabe!

JC: What!?!?! I thought he hated Cross?!?

RW: Maybe there is a good explination for this??

Justin tackles anishinabe to the mat, beating the hell out of him before Cross kicks Paige in the head sending him right out of the ring!! Justin grabs a 2x4 from upder the ring and slids back into the ring swinging. He connects with Anishinabe and Angent Orange but when he is face to face with Ray Cross, Justin just laughs in his face and turns to leave. Cross will have none of that and stright up punches Paige in the back of the head!!! Paige grins from ear to ear and turns around swinging the 2x4 full force at Crosses head!! The impact is so hard it shatteres the board and Cross drops! The fans start a "holy shit!" chant as Justin sets him up on the turnbuckle, and hits a belly to belly suplex with out releasing! Paige bounces off of Cross as he slams on top of his limp body! By this time Orange and Anishinabe are up and pissed off at Paige who simply gives them the fingers and Super kicks Agent Orange right across the ring! Anishinabe pauses for a second before charging at Justin. Waiting for the right moment Justin swings a hard right into the jaw of Anishinabe with a pair of brass knucks!! Everyone in the ring is down and Paige drags Ray cross out of the ring.

JC: Where is he taking him?!?!?

RW: I don't know but I have a feeling its not gonna be good!!

JC: Paige just fucked everyone in the ring up, just to get to Cross!!

Justin drags Cross to the top of the ramp and poses for the crowd. Paige stands him up and signals for it all to end. JC: Oh my god...he isn't...he is gonna!! Justin takes a running start and half way there Kate Madison comes running out in front of Justin! Justin slams on the breaks and starts yelling at her. All the meanwhile Cross is crawling his way back to the ring.

Madison: wooooah Paige just wait a second. I don't want all this to happen right here....save it for this big match that you two wanted...and in the mean time, I was just informed that on next weeks Titans....you..and Riley!! I'm not telling you if its for the title yet...but who knows...that is as long as you can hold your self back from Cross.

Justin: You mean, if I stay away from Cross until after my match on titans...it could be for the title??

Madison: Yup...so I guess just sit back and wait...

Kate turns and looks at Cross who is struggling to get into the ring and leaves. Justin just stands there looking in aww.

JC: Paige may get a T.V. title shot at Titans next week?!?!

RW: Wow! All this kid has done since getting back is impress people..

Outside in the parking lot, a car pulled up outside the arena. As it slowed to a halt, the passenger door opened, and Burton Edwards stepped out. He still looked weaker than he usually did, but much better compared to how he was only days ago. As he began to walk up the stairs to the arena, the driver called out to him.

Driver: You sure you’ll be alright? You really do look pretty banged up.

Edwards: Look, for the last time, I’m fine. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a match to get ready for.

Driver: Okay, if you’re sure. Will you need picking up after the show?

Edwards: No, I’ll make my own way out of here.

With that, the driver gives a nod to Edwards, and drives away. Edwards still wasn’t sure who these people that were helping him were. He had assumed at first that they were just people who shared a goal with him, but he’d begun to get a little suspicious when they offered to arrange for a driver to get him here.

As he entered the arena, he pushed this thought from his head. This was no time to think about that sort of thing, not when he had a World Title match just hours away. He would get Inferno out of the way, and then he would start worrying about who those guys were. The championship would be the first and only thought on his mind until the night came to a close.

 
- Match Five -
Drogden versus Seth Dryden
[ Singles Match ]  

“Encore-Numb” hits and a returning Seth Dryden makes his way out the ring, he rolls in and leans up against the ropes waiting for Drogden to come out. Seth’s confidence is in abundance as he taunts the crowd and then smiles as he takes it all in. When Drogden’s music finally hits and “Back to the Primitive” plays, he comes running down to the ring and dives right into it and Seth begins almost instantly to go to work on him

RW: Seth is really going to work on Drogden

JC: Hardly a bad move, Seth’s gotta reestablish himself in this match and at the same time must use intelligence to overcome the size advantage Drogden has over him.

Drogden is trying to protect himself but it isn't working. Seth then goes for a snap suplex, but Drogden blocks it and delivers a few quick kicks to the mid section of Dryden. Drogden follows by whipping Seth into the ropes and following up with a drop kick as Seth bounces back towards the center of the ring. Seth falls onto his back but is almost as quickly snapping back up. Another clothesline by Drogden. He tries for a third, but Seth sees it this and uses his speed and agility to duck under it…he ducks and grabs Ryder and delivers a hurricanrana.

JC: Beautiful hurricanrana right there!

Drogden is down and is rolling around grabbing the back of his head. He slowly gets up and is stumbling around. He then sees Seth charging at him and he charges as well. The two men hit each other with a clothesline, causing them to both fall to the mat hard. The ref counts…1…2….3….4….5….6.. Seth starts to his feet ..7…..8…9… Drogden struggles to his feet just ahead of the ref’s count. As soon as Drogden staggers up, Seth is right on top with a drop kick to the knees and sends Drogden back on his back. Seth quickly follows by throwing Drogden outside through the middle ropes. He then gets tot he top turnbuckle and leaps off, going for an elbow drop. Seth connects, and Drogden lies motionless, but Seth is also down.

JC: That one took a lot out of both men. Seth sure is bent on showing his tenacity here this evening in his return match.

RW: Yeah, but I don’t know who got the worst of that one, Seth’s down as well. The Ref counts again… 1…2….3…4….5… Drogden slowly begins to rise ..6…7… Seth barely makes his way to his feet and Drogden rolls his staggering body into the ring before entering after him. The men meet in the middle of the ring and begin to exchange punches. Drogden takes advantage and throws Seth to the ropes. He catches him in a belly to belly suplex and plants Seth to the mat. Drogden springs to his feet and starts showboating. He ends the showboating quickly and runs to the ropes. He jumps on the second rope and uses it to catapolt himself into a cross body. In an amazing show of strength, Seth catches the man and runs at the ropes, causing both men to tumble outside.

RW: That was definitely cool!

JC: What do you know about cool?

RW: Shut up.

Outside, Drogden again is the first to his feet. A bit put off by his struggles thus far, Drogden walks a few feet away and pulls a chair out from under the mat. He grins an evil grin while looking down at Seth as the crowd boos in disapproval of what looks to be next. Drogden watches as Seth slowly staggers up. He raises the chair overhead and swings down at Seth’s head. Seth, though, sees it coming and dropkicks the chair into Drogden’s unsuspecting face. Drogden is out and Seth is pumped, waiving his arms in the air like a mad man. He rolls Drogden’s lifeless body into the ring. Seth climbs the top rope and take a minute to let the crowd rise in anticipation and cheer. He jumps off and connects with Aces full and pins.. 1….2….3!

 
- Match Six -
Kyle Murphy versus Johnny Legend
[ Singles Match ]  
RW: Johnny Legend's retired?
 
JC: Kyle Murphy wins?
 
RW: Guess so...
 
[ We cut backstage were we focus in on a door. The camera raises up and reaches the nameplate on the door that reads "Jeff King". The camera then drops down to the floor where we see a dirty baseball bat lying next to a white pedaled rose and a peice of paper with "Lucretia Black" on the front of it. The camera zooms in on the name and the rose and the bat, and then fades to black. ]
 
- Main Event -
Nirvana versus Burton Edwards
[ World Title Match - Special Referee Havoc ]  
Amanda Summers: The following match is our main event and is a special referee match for the SFT World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first... the special guest referee... from the city of dis... Havoc!

The arena goes dark and many prayers are said in low voices in latin simultaneously. Suddenly there is an explosion of fire as 'O Fortuna' begins playing. HaVoC steps out onto the ramp and moves his head to see all the fans and savor thier boos. He slowly walks to the ring and slides in. He hops onto one turnbuckle and (like egde) leans foreward with his arms at his side.

Amanda Summers: Introdicing first... the challenger... from Parts Unknown... Burton Edwards!

The arena lights cut out, and two jets of smoke begin to cover the stage as Rammstein's 'Reise, reise' begins to play through the arena. As the guitars kick in, the stage goes up in flames, and as the fire dies away, Burton Edwards walks onto the stage. He surveys the crowds of fans, before walking down the rampway, past the pillars of fire that lead to the ring. He slides in under the bottom rope, and removes his coat, before ascending one of the turnbuckles and looking out at the mostly booing crowds.

Amanda Summers: and his opponent... from Osaka, Japan... the SFT World Heavyweight Champion... Nirvana!

Ripping guitars hit the pa as "Demonizer" beings to play with Jeff King's voice booming over the pa

"For Nirvana so loved SFT.."

The arena is plunged into darkness as "DEmonizer" by Judas Priest hits the pa

"That he gave it a great pain..."

Suddenly an image of a new born baby hits the Striketron.

"And unto us he brought a great misery.."

The image morphes into a maggot infested corpse as the arena lights go blood red. Suddenly the SFT logo appears on the striketron but it is quickly dispelled as barbedwrie rips through it revealing a Japanese flag.

"From which we shall never recover"

a golden spotlight illuminates the entranceway. "Demonizer" continues to play on the PA, and Jeff King steps out from behind the apron , decked out in a fancy, old fashioned suit, hair parted off to the side, and greased down. He smiles to the crowd with all the pizazze of a salesman, but with the personality of a shark. Comfortable, yet slightly unsettling images display on the jumbotron, Traditional families eating traditional dinners, watching traditional television, playing with traditional toys...but nobody looks happy. They all have a sullen-eyed look about them which underlies the true feelings inside of them. Jeff makes his way to the ring followed by Ms.Black, spinning his cane, and doffing his hat to the fans, who, in turn, boo him. Burton exits the ring and attacks Nirvana.

JC: He can't wait!

Edwards tries to irish whip Nirvana into the stairs, but Nirvana reverses it and Burton flys into the steps. Nirvana then manages to pick up Burton in a suplex position before dropping him gut first across the safety rail. Then he climbs up onto the ring apron and goes for a spinning heel kick to the back of Burton's head. Edwards moves out of the way, standing upright in the crowd, which causes Nirvana to slam into the wall. Nirvana climbs to his feet and is met by a right hand from Edwards. Burton climbs over the railing and begins to take advantage of a staggered Nirvana. He grabs Nirvana's head and slams it into the ring apron, then takes a hold of Nirvana when he staggers back.

JC: Side Russian legsweep against the guardrail!

RW: Ouch!

Burton Edwards gets to his feet and rolls Nirvana into the ring. Edwards reaches underneath the ring and pulls out a chair, which he throws into the ring. Burton slides into the ring, but Nirvana is up and waiting for him. He begins to stomp Edwards, then grabs the chair. Burton gets to one knee and Nirvana lifts up the chair, but before he brings it down, Ref. Havoc grabs the chair, and throws it to the ground. Nirvana and Havoc get in each others face. Edwards grabs the chair and swings it hard and smashes Nirvana in the head! Havoc just pretends he didnt see it.

JC: What the -?

RW: How did Havoc not see that?

Edwards slides out of the ring and starts to take a breather. He walks over to the timekeeper's table and grabs the World Championship belt. He holds it close to his face and smiles at it. He waits outside the ring and watches Nirvana stumble to his feet. Nirvana supports himself on the middle rope and Edwards smashes him in the face with the World title. He then slides in the ring and make pin attempt...

1.....

2.....

Kickout!

Burton Edwards appears annoyed and holds up three fingers to Havoc to indicate his frustration. Havoc also looks a little frustrated as he shrugs his shoulders to Edwards. He stands up and begins to stomp Nirvana relentlessly, stomping him right of the ring. Burton then climbs out and joins Nirvana on the floor. Edwards picks up Nirvana in a shoulder breaker position and runs towards the nearest ringpost, but Nirvana slides down and uses Burton's own momentum to shove him right into the post. Nirvana climbs back into the ring. Outside, Edwards catches his breath before sliding into the ring. He stands and charges Nirvana, who greets him with a snap DDT. Nirvana then locks Burton Edwards in the Devilock!

JC: That could be all! Nirvana is on his way to another successful title defense

Edwards fights and fights to break the hold, but to no avail. After close to a minute in the hold, Burton is able to reach the ropes. Nirvana does not let go and Havoc counts... quickly...

Havoc: 1..2..3..4..

Nirvana breaks the hold and starts to stare down Havoc. Angrily, he turns his attention to Burton and begins to lay in kicks to the lower back of Edwards. Nirvana then pulls Edwards to his feet, leans him against the near ropes and whips him to the far side.

JC: Edwards sent to the ropes!

RW: Edwards connects with a high knee to the face of Nirvana!

Burton shows some signs of life, indeed taking Nirvana down with a high knee. Weakly he stands Nirvana up and applies the 'Therapy For Pain'.

JC: Apparently Burton is not strong enough to apply the hold properly. Nirvana battles out with ease.

Nirvana again sends Burton to the ropes, this time charging Edwards on the return. He attempts a clothesline, but Edwards ducks and manages to spin around, grab Nirvana from behind and connect with the 'Last Commandment'!

JC: The Last Commandment!

Edwards goes for a pin...

1..

2..

3!!!

JC: Oh my god!!!!

RW: Burton Edwards is the new SFT World Champion!

JC: He never would have won if we had a normal official!

RW: Stop making excuses, we have a new champion!

 
Edwards holds his newly won title in his hands. From behind, Havoc hits him in the back with a chair.
 
JC: What the hell?
 
RW: Havoc has a match with Edwards next week for the title!
 
Havoc starts bringing the chair down on Edwards, when Nirvana interuppts him and superkicks the chair into havoc's face!
 
JC: Nirvana is the only one left standing!
 
The screen fades to black as Nirvana looks down at Burton and Havoc.
