[The show opens to the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is very cold outside, obviously. The snow is falling on this arena as we go to the ringside area.]

Nathan: Hello and welcome to yet another amazing episode of Friday Night Inferno!

Kate: I am Kate Madison alongside Nathan Gust...

Nathan: They know who we are, woman.

Kate: Yeah, whatever.

Nathan: So... tonight we have five great matches to bring to you. The first match... is going to have a little something extra. Our first match features three prominent superstars who are out to prove that they are very storg competitors. Today, I give them the chance to prove all that and more.

Kate: What in the world are you talking about?

Nathan: For the first time on Inferno... in an attempt to spoof the classic "Burning Man Match"... Angel of Death, Joe Mokoko, and DeShaun Pierce will compete in a... a... COLD AS HELL MATCH!

[The camera goes to the outside of the arena, showing how cold it is out there. Then we see a local lake, almost frozen over. Next to the lake, a wrestling ring is set up and all three competitors are very cold... obviously.]

Angel of Death vs. Joe Mokoko vs. DeShaun Pierce
(Cold as Hell Match)

[The three half-frozen warriors meet in the center of the ring. The referee -- dressed in a thick winter jacket -- ring a small bell.]

Nathan: I guess this is a true ironman match.

Kate: Har har. Funny...

[Joe tells DeShaun to wait one moment. He then turns to AOD and knocks him out with 'Untouchable'.]

Nathan: That was quick work...

[Joe then turns to DeShaun.]

Joe Mokoko: What it is, muh nikkuh?

[The rookie shivers and laughs. He then superkicks Joe, who goes over the top rope and lands in the snow. DeShaun climbs to the top turnbuckle and slips off, luckily landing on top of Joe. He grabs a handful of snow and makes a snowball. He then jams the snowball in Joe's mouth, causing him to choke a bit. DeShaun gets up and he grabs the snow shovel lying next to the ring where they tried to make a path. He lifts it up over his head and slams it down onto Joe's chest.]

Nathan: Oh this is more fun than I thought...

[DeShaun pulls Joe up and slides him into the ring. The newcomer shivers a bit as he slides into the ring. He gets Joe up and delivers 'Unforgettable' to him. Instead of going for the cover, he climbs to the top turnbuckle again.]

Kate: Be careful up there.

[Just like before, DeShaun slips and lands a few feet from Joe. Joe uses the icy ropes to get up and he walks over to DeShaun. He points and laughs at the new guy before helping him back up.]

Joe Mokoko: Yo yo yo... watch this...

[Joe steps back and then goes for the 'Moko-K.O.', but DeShaun ducks it. He headbuts Mokoko and then delivers a reverse DDT into backbreaker. He goes for the cover...]

1...

2...

NO!

[At the last second, Angel of Death gets in a leg drop on DeShaun, breaking up the pin. AOD helps DeShaun up. The rookie punches AOD between the eyes and delivers 'Unforgettable Remix', before going for the cover.]

1...

2...

3!

[The referee rings the small bell before heading back to his heated car.]

Nathan: DeShaun Pierce wins the first ever Cold As Hell Match!

Kate: And it just happened to be his first match.

Nathan: Yeah. All this time I thought blacks were afraid of the cold. Tonight, DeShaun showed no fear.

Winner: DeShaun Pierce

Lucas Balkan vs. Johny Fierce
(Standard Match)

[The scene goes back to the ringside area, where Kate and Nathan are ready to call the second match of the night.]

Kate: Wait a second. When did he get here?

[She points at the ring, where Balkan is waiting quietly. The arena lights fade to black as the first guitar riffs from "Bad to the Bone" begin to play. The lights come on as the song fully kicks in and Johny Fierce walks out to a warm response. He stops at the top of the ramp and raises his fists to the crowd. He walks down tot he ring, shaking his wrists loose ready for a fight.]

Nathan: The legend looks ready for action.

Kate: He's a legend?

Nathan: Definitely. He was known as X2 in Strike Fantasy Wrestling.

Kate: I didn't know that...

Nathan: I bet you also didn't know that I introduced he and SwitchBlade to SFW officials, did you?

Kate: No, of course not...

Nathan: I didn't think so.

[Fierce circles the ring and walks over to the announcer's table. Nathan stands up and the two shake hands.]

Nathan: Good to have you back, buddy.

[Johny smiles and he enters the ring. The opening bell sounds.]

Nathan: Lets see if Fierce has anything left under the hood.

Kate: Was that a car reference?

Nathan: Ugh...

[Fierce charges at his adversary and the two lock up. Fierce overpowers Balkan and delivers a tilt-a-wirl slam to the enigma. He lifts Balkan up off of the canvas and lifts him up in the air.]

Kate: The power!

Nathan: Gorilla press slam! Yea!

[Fierce drops an elbow on Balkan's chest and then goes for the cover.]

1...

2...

NO!

Kate: Fierce is taking it to Balkan.

Nathan: It's sad. I had such high hopes for Lucas...

Kate: He could still bounce back.

Nathan: This is Johny Fierce he's facing... not some average nobody...

[Balkan gets up and tries a tequila sunrise but is countered by Fierce with a knee to the face of Lucas. Fierce now with a double arm DDT. He goes for the cover again.]

1...

2...

NO!

Kate: That was close.

[Fierce with a German suplex then a irish whip to the ropes followed by a flying knee to Balkan's face again. Fierce off the ropes Balkan tries to get out of the way but cant in time. Fierce nails him with another elbow drop.]

Nathan: Wow Fierce looks pretty good after all this time.

[Fierce gets up and he does 'Heavy Handed' followed by his 'Flying Armbar'. He covers Balkan one more time.]

1...

2...

3!

Kate: And Fierce wins this in quite the upset.

Nathan: An upset? He's Johny friggin' Fierce! Balkan should be happy to have faced such talent...

[Fierce celebrates as he leaves the ring. Lucas slides out of the ring and leaves unhappy again.]

Winner: Johny Fierce

[The scene goes to the locker room area where Havoc is standing in front of a monitor with a smile on his face. Reporter in training Gerald walks up with a pen and paper.]

Gerald: Excuse me, Mr. Havoc, sir.

Havoc: What, peon?

Gerald: I noticed that you are here in Toronto... but you don't have a match tonight. Is there any kind of surprise we can expect from you tonight?

Havoc: First of all... if you expect something, it isn't really a surprise. Second of all... fuck you.

[Havoc slams the World Heavyweight Title in Gerald's face, knocking the rookie reporter out cold. The champ walks away and Harold comes into view.]

Harold: Come on, kid. Get up. Part of being a reporter here is that you have to learn how to take a beating...

[The scene goes back to the arena, where Nathan and Kate are playing checkers.]

Nathan: Oh sorry. I thought that would take longer.

Kate: Well you'd think it would've been a longer interview... being that Harold is training Gerald and all.

Nathan: One day... Gerald will ramble on and on just the same.

Kate: Watch it, Nathan.

Nathan: Blow me, Kate. You're not my boss...

Kate: That is sexual harrassment!

Nathan: And?

Saga* vs. Daniel De Marco
(Television Championship Match)

[The arena lights cut off for a moment and are replaced with red and black lights which start flickering all over the arena, there's a blast of white Pyro on the top of the ramp and then "Breathe" by Fabolous hits the speakers and Daniel De Marco makes his presence known and steps out from behind the curtain. He pauses for a moment, soaking in the atmosphere before making his way to the ring. He enters the ring via the second rope, he then makes his way to one of the turnbuckles, climbs the second rope and raises his arms in the air, cool as you like.]

Nathan: There is a newcomer that has a lot of potential. So far since his SFT career has begun he is six wins and no losses, and he hopes to take the Television title with him tonight..

Kate: Yeah we know that, doesn’t everyone?

[Lights go out for a moment and then red lights appear around the entrance way. Local H's Bigger begins to blast and out comes SFT's GREATEST HOPE; Saga! The camera focus on him as his sunglasses caress the tip of his nose. Saga then adjust his glasses as he looks at the piece of trash fans and shakes his head in disappointment. Saga then makes his way into the ring, climbs to the top rope, and gives the fans the good ol' fashion middle finger. Wasting no time Daniel runs up behind Saga, and nails him in the back of the head, pulls him off.the top rope turns him around and nails him in the face once, twice, and the third time he hits him so hard that he knocks Saga off of his feet. Daniel applies a figure four leg lock on Saga. Saga hit’s the canvas once but gets to the bottom rope a couple of seconds later. The hold is released, and both men get back up to their feet at about the same time. Saga kicks Daniel in the gut and delivers a DDT, but Daniel gets right back up.]

Nathan: Looks like Saga is going to have to do a better job than this.

Kate: Duh, but its only the beginning of the match.

[Both men grapple up, and Saga sends Daniel to the ground with a snap suplex. Marco gets back to his feet only to get knocked right back down with a dropkick to the chest. Saga literally runs up the top rope and leaps out into the air connecting with a lionsault off the top rope. Saga grabs Daniel by the neck and lifts him up to his feet. Well for his effort, Daniel grabs Saga’s head and does a snap mare take down. Saga gets back to his feet, and the two men lock up. Daniel makes his way behind Saga, grabs him and throws him with a german suplex. Daniel walks over to Saga, and starts kicking him in the side, the head, hell anywhere he can, not giving Saga a chance to get back up. Moments later the referee tells Daniel to get back and stop kicking so he does. Saga is a little slower to get to his feet this time. Daniel grabs Saga lifts, and drops him hard with a vertical suplex in the center of the ring. Daniel quickly pops back to his feet, springs himself off the far ropes and connects with a baseball slide to the face of Saga. Daniel goes for the cover

Winner: Daniel De Marco

Nathan: Our next match is-

[Suddenly "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin interrupts the surprised announcer. Waylander walks out to a myriad of boos and general cries of “YOU SUCK” carrying a microphone.]

Waylander: Cut the music! Cut it!

[His music cuts off and he waits for the crowd to die down enough so that he can be heard.]

Waylander: I come here tonight to introduce one of the participants in the upcoming Pay-Per-View, Hallowed Ground III. You have seen his messages throughout the last few weeks and no doubt have been wondering who this person is. He has asked to remain anonymous, but, in the name of fairness, I feel it is my obligation to SceneFades to reveal the name of one of their opponents at HG3.

Nathan: I’ve been curious who this was.

Kate: But if asked to remain anonymous, shouldn’t that be honored?

Waylander: Ladies and Gentlemen, Saga and Brickcity “B,” one half of the tag team known as WAI, is none other than-

[Without warning "Ghost Love Score" rips through the speakers, surprising even Waylander.]

Nathan: What’s this?

[Waylander turns to see who comes out of the back when a blur of black and white leaps from the audience, a chair grasped in his hand.]

Kate: My God!

Nathan: Where did he come from?!

[The figure runs up behind Waylander, slamming the chair mercilessly against the back of the General Manager’s skull. Waylander drops like a sack of something heavy released from a great height, and the huge man stands over the dazed GM, taunting him.]

Nathan: Who is that?

Kate: I don’t know, I can’t see from here, he’s wearing that broad-brimmed hat!

[The man drops the chair on Waylander, and grabs the microphone. He straightens, and removes the hat, tossing it into the audience, revealing none other than-]

Nathan: Grizzly Z! It’s Grizzly Z!

Kate: I thought he was gone!

Nathan: I guess he’s back!

[Grizzly Z soaks in the crowd’s mixed cheers and boos for a moment before raising the microphone to his lips.]

Grizzly Z: Scenefades. I’m coming for you.

[Z drops the mike and stalks backstage as the StrikeTron flashes the W.A.I. banner and the PA plays "Numb vs. Encore" by Linkin Park and Jay-Z.]

Nathan: Whup Ass Inc.! Grizzly Z and Venom!

Kate: It all make sense now... I think.

Nathan: Well I'll be damned. Finally a Tag Team Title match that matters...

Seth Dryden vs. Connor MacDaddy
(Standard Match)

[Out of nowhere, "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria blares to life, sending the fans into a roar of approval. Seth Dryden appears on the ramp, grinning from ear to ear. He trots down to the ring as green pyro shoots off on either side of the ramp. He slides in the ring, and poses on the turnbuckle for the crowd, playing it up.]

Nathan: There's a tough opponent in Seth Dryden. What a opponent for Connor's return.

Kate: That's for sure, Nathan.

Nathan: Finally... the U.S. Champ gets some competition!

Kate: It's just too bad Connor is going to destroy him.

["Mack Daddy" by Sir Mix-a-lot blares over the PA system as large red X pyros fires off. A few seconds into the song Connor steps out onto the stage and makes an X with his arm in the air. He starts to walk down the ramp. Mid ramp he slows down and points to a few fans and gives them a big thumbs up. He slides in the ring and goes on the turnbuckle and makes X crosses in the air to the crowd, and Seth runs and hits him in the back while he's up on the ropes. The bell rings to start the begining of the match. Repeatedly he smashes into the back, and suddenly pulls Connor off the ropes. He turns conner around to be greeted by a fist of Connor's. The hard blow stuns Dryden. Connor grapples up, and applies a northern light suplex followed into a pin.]

Nathan: Not this early.

1...

2...

NO!

[Connor gets up, grabs Seth by the hair and pulls him up only for Dryden to grab him by the top of the head, and connect with a jawbreaker. Connor quickly gets back to his feet. Seth throws a hard haymaker, but the effort is useless because Connor blocks it. Connor apply's a arm bar. Seth takes his other hand and begins punching Connor until the hold is released. Seth grabs Connor and slings him into the corner. Seth runs at him, but Connor connects with a big boot to the face. Connor grabs Dryden by the head, bangs his head once on the turnbuckle, bangs it again, and the third time it is blocked. Then Dyrden elbows him in the gut, and then smashes his face on the turnbuckle once, takes a step back and delivers a thunderous roundhouse to the back of Connor's head. Connor falls into the turnbuckle stunned. Dryden backs up a few steps. Then takes off running and connects with a big splash.]

Kate: It's a close match so far.

Nathan: Yeah, it keeps going back and forth like a prostitute having a good time haha.

[Seth kicks Connor in the back of the knee to knock him on his knee's, then uses the opposite foot to kick him in the face, sending Connor to the ground. Connor slowly gets to one knee. Dryden grabs him by the hair only to get hit below the belt. Following that Connor delivers a DDT, and goes for a cover.]

1...

2...

NO!

[Connor gets back up and stomps on Drydens chest. Dryden grabs his chest as if he had the breath knocked right out of him. Then Connor goes to the corner, and climbs up on the top rope. He raises his hands in the air, and leaps out into the air. He soars through the air like a eagle, attempting a elbow drop, but Seth rolls out of the way and immediately gets up to his feet, and crouches down waiting patiently. He begins running right as Connor just makes it to his feet and nails him with a spear. Dryden jumps back up to his feet, throws his fist in the air, and yells loudly. Seth Dryden, walks over to Connor, picks him up off the ground, kicks him in the side of the knee, immediately following that he kicks the opposite side, only but in the side instead of the knee, and then goes for a roundhouse trying to kick Connor in the face, but its blocked, Then Connor nails Dryden in the face once, throws another haymaker that literally knocks Dryden off of his feet, and onto his back. The crowd cheers. Following that, Connor runs into the ropes, and drops a big leg on Dryden's neck. Connor goes for the pin.]

1...

2...

NO!

Kate: He almost had it that time

Nathan: Yeah he did, but almost doesn't count.

[In a rage, Connor grabs Dryden, pulls him up, grabs his wrist, and slings him into the corner. Connor threw Seth so hard that when he hit the turnbuckle, he flipped over and landed on the outside floor. Connor then climbs up top again. Once again Connor leaps off the top rope to the outside, and he smashes Dryden with a big splash.]

Nathan: Wow! What a stunt. That had to hurt both men.

Kate: Are you alright Connor?

[Both men just lay on the floor trying to regain strength. Amazingly, Dryden is the first one on his feet, following Connor. The count has now reached six so both men focusing on getting in the ring. They both slide into the ring, and are up at the same time. Both men do nothing but look at each other for a moment. Now words are being exchanged between both men. Dryden gets in Connor's face, only for Connor to get right back in Dryden's face.]

Nathan: Things are heating up in the ring between those two.

Kate: You think?

[Suddenly a punch is thrown by Connor, then one from Dryden. Back and forth they go until Dryden gets the upper hand, and delivers blow after blow. Each blow sends Connor one step back. Dryden grabs Connor, and slings him into the ropes, then takes off running and connects with a running neckbreaker. Dryden stands up, turns around, and leaps into the air doing a backflip to get in 'Kings Over Jacks', but Connor moves out of the way. Dryden lands hard on the mat and Connor uses the rope to get to his feet. He waits and watches as Dryden gets to his feet. The United States Champ turns around and Connor knees him in the gut. He then sets him up and delivers the 'Big Mac' followed by an immediate cover.]

3!

[The bell sounds and the announcers jump to their feet.]

Nathan: Connor just won?!

Kate: Yes, he did!

[Nathan sits down and he rewinds the scene on his monitor. He shakes his head.]

Nathan: No! Dryden's foot was on the bottom rope!

Kate: Too late now...

Nathan: Not exactly.

[Nathan stands up with a microphone and he slides into the ring. The referee is holding Connor's arm high in the air as Dryden gets to his feet in the corner. Nathan pulls Connor's arm down and shakes his head.]

Nathan: Hold it right there. Seth Dryden's foot was clearly on the bottom rope, meaning this match must continue.

[Nathan turns to walk away, but Connor grabs his shoulder. He pulls him back and argues with him. Connor pushes him and Nathan pushes back, right into a clothesline from Seth Dryden. Seth stands up and nods his head to Gust before climbing to the top turnbuckle. Nathan slides out of the ring with a smile on his face.]

Kate: That was just wrong!

[He sits back down.]

Nathan: If you thought that was wrong... watch this!

[The lights suddenly go out and cameras start flashing all over the arena. When they come back on, Dryden is lying on his back in the middle of the ring and MacDaddy's arm is over him. Standing over both men is Havoc with a chair in hand.]

Kate: What the hell is going on?!

[Nathan stands up with the microphone.]

Nathan: Re-start the match.

[The bell sounds and the referee reluctantly drops to the mat to count.]

1...

2...

3!

Winner: Connor MacDaddy

[Havoc stands over both men with the World Heavyweight Title strapped around his waist. He looks over to the announcer's table with a smile.]

Kate: You set up my husband... and the U.S. Champ!

Nathan: I have to do what's best for business...

Kate: You are despicable.

Nathan: Thank you. Thank you, very much. Next up is our glorious main event. Kyle Murphy is set to defend his Intercontinental Championship against The Great Malinko. That match... is next.

[The scene goes to the parking lot, where Christian Cage has just arrived in a gold limo. He steps out of the car when it comes to a complete stop and he looks at the camera.]

Christian Cage: Hey Nathan. I know you are just dying to retaliate after what happened at War... but that won't be happening tonight. Sure, I could come down to the ring... and you come get your scrawny ass in there and try to take me out. That would be just fine and dandy for you, I'm sure.

Kate: Yes, please come down here and shut this dork up...

[He opens up his briefcase and pulls out a sheet of paper.]

Christian Cage: Unfortunately for you, a restraining order has been issued against you. You, sir, can not come within one hundred yards of me until Hallowed Ground. These are the orders of the powers that be, so don't start pointing fingers at me.

Nathan: I already knew about that. I always think ahead...

[Christian puts the sheet back in his briefcase and puts it inside the car.]

Christian Cage: So, young one, I'll see you at Hallowed Ground... which will surely be the last day of your pathetic Hardcore Title reign...

[As he turns to get into the limo, he gets cracked side the head with a hockey stick, shattering the piece of sport equipment. Christian falls to the ground and the camera pans up to the man holding the stick.]

Kate: It's Rumpke!

Nathan: I told you I always think ahead.

[Rumpke goes into the limo and comes back out with a bottle of Cognac.]

Rumpke: Thanks, Gust.

[The alcoholic opens the bottle and starts to drink as the scene goes back to the ringside area.]

Kate: Who aren't you going to have attacked tonight?

Nathan: You. I kinda like having you around... for now.

::MAIN EVENT::
Kyle Murphy* vs. The Great Malinko
(Intercontinental Championship Match)

[The entrance clouds with smoke and "South West Voodoo" hits as The Great Malinko makes his way through the fog to the ring.]

Nathan: I expect this to be no less than amazing.

["Enter Sandman" begins to blare across the loudspeakers and there is a blast of gold pyro at the entrance. Kyle Murphy then walks out on stage and the crowd cheers. The Intercontinental Champion makes his way down the aisle in a nonchalant but focused manner. At ringside he climbs the steps up onto the apron and stares down Malinko before climbing into the ring. Kyle goes over to the opposite corner, climbs up to the second rope and, taking the belt from around his waist, holds it up high for the crowd to see. They cheer as Murphy steps down off the ropes and turns to hand the belt to the referee. The referee takes the belt and hands it down to the timekeeper on the outside. Finally the bell sounds and we're under way.]

Nathan: There's the bell! Let's get it on!

[Kyle and TGM start circling one another, neither in a rush to make the first move! Kyle dips into TGM, but fakes him out with a elbow in his gut! Kyle drops an elbow over the back of TGM's neck, then pushes him back to the mat.]

Nathan: The old fake collar-and-elbow tie-up! I used to spend hours instructing my charges on how to execute that properly...

[Kyle goes for an early figure four, but TGM kicks him off. Kyle bounces off the ropes and goes for a knee drop that misses. TGM to his feet... savat kick! TGM with a hard right across Kyle's face, and Kyle embraces the mat unwillingly! TGM drops an elbow!]

Kate: Is it just me or has TGM fattened up for this match? What did he weigh in at?

[TGM locks in a side headlock. Kyle gets to his knees and the IC Champion quickly on the defensive in the early going. Kyle to his feet, pushing TGM into the ropes. The ref calls for the break, but TGM pulls Kyle back from the ropes! Kyle lifts TGM in the air and drops him on his back, breaking the headlock. Kyle up quick, pushing TGM the turnbuckle... EYE GOUGE by TGM! Stopping Kyle before he could unleash a series of chops, TGM turns the tide, Kyle now in the turnbuckle... KNIFE EDGE CHOPS BY TGM!

Kick to the gut, TGM sends Kyle off the ropes, across the ring, leapfrog by Kyle, off the ropes, POWERSLAM BY TGM!! TGM'S GOING FOR THE FIGURE FOUR, roll up by Kyle.]

1...

2...

NO!

[Kyle showing his mastery in the ring there, nearly retaining the title from a defensive position. Kyle rolling out of the ring, he needs a second to regroup.]

Nathan: The thinking man's champion. Using the ten-count to his advantage. The longer this goes, the more it favors Kyle. Good boy, Kyle.

[TGM climbs out of the ring and goes for a double axe handle off the ring aprong... BUT KYLE STEPS TO THE SIDE AND TGM FLIES INTO GUARD RAIL! Kyle grabs TGM by the hair and throws TGM back first into the ring apron! Kyle throws vicious Knife Edge chops! Kyle whips TGM into the security railing! Kyle pulls at TGM's mouth with his fingers, leaning TGM over into the front row of fans. Kyle rolls back inside to restart the count... body slam! TGM's back cracking against the cement floor. Kyle pulls TGM's body to the railing, HE’S GOING FOR A FIGURE FOUR, THROUGH THE RAILING!]

Kate: I think I just heard TGM give! What a baby!

[Kyle screaming at the fans in the front row to make room...]

Nathan: Like those idiots are smart enough to make room. Put the camera on them and the cell phones whip out...

[Kyle trying to hook the line... TGM is somehow able over power him and send him flying into the ring apron!]

Nathan: What leg power by TGM , that was amazing.

[TGM shoves Kyle into the ring, he knows better than anyone, the title has to change hands there! He’s going to the top rope. Kyle to his feet.... he can't find TGM..... MALINKO WITH A DROPKICK! Kyle body rolls through the bottom rope. TGM hit his move! No! Kyle's outside... look at TGM's face! He has the IC Title in his hands, but Kyle's not in the ring!

Kate: This has got to be it! Malinko just drove Kyle's back into the steel of the ring apron!

[Somehow Kyle manages to get his feet under him and, using just his legs, stands up IN THE FULL NELSON!]

Nathan: Oh my GOD! Murphy stands up with Malinko on his back! He stood up out of the camel clutch position! AMAZING!

Kate: He is FREAKISHLY strong!

[Desperate, Malinko now wraps his legs around Murphy's body as he keeps the full nelson locked in while mounted on Kyle's back. But Murphy now on his feet is able to run backwards and drive Malinko's back into the turnbuckle. Malinko holds on! Murphy turns... and falls back to the mat, crushing Malinko under his weight!]

Nathan: That did it! That broke the hold!

Kate: Not only the hold, that may have broken Malinko's BACK! He got squashed!

Nathan: And this back and forth match up may have just changed again!

[Murphy goes for the pin.]

1...

NO!

[Malinko kicks out! Kyle pushes Malinko back down in another lateral press, this time driving his forearm into TGM's face as he does so.]

1...

NO!

[Malinko gets a shoulder up! Kyle appears a little bit surprised and agitated, but doesn't hesitate. He climbs to his feet and begins to pull TGM up to his feet... MALINKO WITH A LOW BLOW!]

Kate: OOH! An uppercut south of the border by Malinko!

[Kyle drops to the mat, holding the "Murphy Family Jewels." His eyes are wide and his jaw has dropped. Malinko wastes no time in pulling Kyle to his feet and whipping him to the ropes. Murphy bounces off the ropes and on the return is caught with Malinko's patented Tilt-A-Whirl.]

Nathan: Tilt-A-Whirl! That's going to do it!

[Malinko lunges into the cover.]

1...

2...

NO!

[Murphy pushes Malinko off!]

Kate: Another astonishing kickout!

Nathan: How many of THOSE have we seen the past couple weeks?!

[TGM goes right back on the attack and goes for a sharpshooter! Murphy won't let him turn it! Kyle shoves Malinko off with his legs!]

Nathan: Kyle avoids the sharpshooter!

Kate: But Malinko slammed into the referee in the corner! Referee down!

[Malinko is unphased and goes right back to Murphy. Kyle is up now and Malinko blasts him with a haymaker. Kyle rocks back, but fires right back with a right of his own. Malinko takes it hard on the chin, but fires another right that catches Murphy square on the jaw.]

Nathan: This has broken down into a straight up heavyweight FIGHT!

[Murphy is teetered again, but retaliates back with a European uppercut. This rocks Malinko back, but again Malinko delivers a hard right to Murphy. Kyle responds with another stiff European uppercut.]

Kate: Both of these men are taking heavy shots but neither one will go down!

[This time Murphy is able to get a second hard European uppercut in, staggering Malinko back to the ropes. Murphy charges, but TGM bridges the top rope and sends Kyle crashing all the way down to the floor. Malinko takes a second to regroup before rolling out of the ring and pulling Murphy to his feet. He hooks Kyle up and delivers a vertical suplex.]

Nathan: Vertical suplex on the floor! That's brutal!

[TGM pulls Murphy right back up and rolls him into the ring. Malinko slides into the ring behind him and pulls Kyle back to his feet. He sends Murphy to the ropes with an Irish whip and on the return catches him with a monstrous SWINGING SIDE SLAM!]

Kate: That'll do it! It has to be over here!

[Malinko goes for the cover, but the referee is still down. TGM stands up and leans over the ref. He gives the referee a nudge but the ref doesn't move. Malinko looks confused and agitated, but then gives a smirk.]

Nathan: Uh-oh! That can't be good!

[Malinko walks over to ropes on the other side of the ring and climbs out in front of the announce table. He gestures for the timekeeper to get out of the way and the timekeeper hastily obliges. TGM grabs the timekeeper's chair and slides into the ring with it.]

Kate: Don't do it! If you get caught you'll be disqualified!

[Standing, Malinko raises the chair over his head and takes a step towards Murphy, who is beginning to get to his feet. TGM goes to take Kyle's head off with the chair, but before he can finish his swing Murphy lifts him up in a double leg and drives him down to the mat with a big, nasty spinebuster.]

Nathan: What a spinebuster by Murphy! Both men and the referee are down!

Kate: Wait a second, what the Hell is this?!

Nathan: Brickcity "B"?!

[Indeed we see Brickcity "B" running down to the ring, steel chair in hand.]

Kate: And he's got a chair!

Nathan: Apparently the number one contender wants to get his shot in on this fight!

[Brickcity slides into the ring, where both Murphy and Malinko are down on the mat. Kyle Murphy begins to get to his feet and when he is up, Brickcity stares at him. Murphy has his back turned to Brickcity "B", but turns around and sees him. They look at each other and finally Brickcity "B" swings the chair. He seems to aim for Kyle, but Murphy ducks out of the way and the chair catches the now standing Great Malinko right over the head!]

Kate: What the Hell was that?!

Nathan: Brickcity "B" went after Murphy with that chair shot but Kyle ducked and Malinko took the bullet!

[Brickcity still has the chair in his hand as Malinko falls straight back, but "B" now sees that the referee is beginning to stir. Scared, Brickcity slides out of the ring, drops the chair and jumps over the security rail. As "B" takes off through the crowd, Murphy pins Malinko. The ref crawls over to begin the count.]

Kate: Not like this! NO!

1...

2...

NO!

Nathan: He kicked out! Malinko kicked out!

Kate: That was a slow count. The referee is still hurting it looks like.

[Murphy shakes his head, but gets right back on his feet. Malinko staggers up as well and Murphy charges, clobbering him with the Executioner's Axe!]

Kate: Massive clothesline by Murphy!

Nathan: That's the "Executioner's Axe!" A throwback to his days with The Executioner gimmick!

[Murphy immediately pins again and the ref drops down to count.]

1...

2...

NO!

Nathan: Again Malinko kicks out!

[Murphy looks a little angry now, but pulls Malinko right to his feet and sets him up for a powerbomb. Lifting him up, Murphy drives TGM to the mat with a devastating sit- down powerbomb!]

Nathan: A huge powerbomb and another cover!

1...

2...

NO!

Kate: Another kickout by The Great Malinko!

[Now Kyle really begins to get angry. He pulls Malinko up and whips him to the ropes, catching him with a spinebuster on the return.]

Nathan: That's the second big spinebuster Malinko's taken! Kyle covers yet again!

1...

2...

NO!

[Malinko gets the shoulder up!]

Nathan: This is just unbelievable! Murphy is visibly frustrasted as last week it was Havoc he couldn't put away and now The Great Malinko!

[Murphy looks irate as Malinko kicks out again. Now he rolls TGM over onto his stomach and holds him down. Rocking himself back, Murphy drives a knee drop into the small of Malinko's back... and a second... and a third!]

Nathan: Knees to the kidney area! That's got to hurt!

Kate: Both of these guys have been working the other's back all match long, so it's a sound strategy by Murphy!

[Kyle then pulls Malinko up and backs him into the corner. Murphy shoves his boot up into the throat of TGM and chokes him in the corner.]

Nathan: Boot choke! A boot choke by Murphy!

[The referee counts to five, then forces Murphy to stop the choke. Kyle holds his hands up innocently, then takes a step back. The referee lets them resume and Kyle quickly drives a back elbow into Malinko's face.]

Nathan: Oh! So much for a clean break!

[Murphy begins to stomp Malinko in the gut, which brings TGM down, down, down to the mat. With Malinko down now, Kyle begins to fire away with right hands to Malinko's head. Again the referee applies the five count before pulling Murphy off of Malinko.]

Kate: Good job, ref! Do your job!

[Murphy glares at the referee, who backs down into the corner opposite Malinko. Kyle stands in the middle of the ring looking at the referee, but when he turns around Malinko catches him by the throat!]

Nathan: Uh-oh! Murphy's in trouble!

[Malinko lifts Murphy up for a chokeslam, but Murphy manages to escape in mid-air and land on his feet behind Malinko. TGM turns to Murphy but receives a quick kick to the gut followed by a DDT. Kyle stands right back up and stares down at Malinko.]

Kate: What's Murphy got in mind here?!

[TGM uses the ropes to pull himself back up, then staggers towards Kyle. Murphy quickly snatches Malinko up on his shoulders in a fireman's carry. He turns to face the "camera side" of the ring as he holds Malinko on his shoulders.]

Nathan: Kyle Murphy with The Great Malinko way up on his shoulders! Let me tell you, with a 6'7, 270 pound man that is damn impressive!

[Kyle Murphy has a very intense look on his face as he hesitates momentarily for effect.]

Kate: What's he going to do?!

Nathan: DEICIDE! Murphy just hit The Great Malinko with HAVOC'S move! I think that's a message sent loud and clear to our SFT Champion!

Kate: Oh my God!

Nathan: The funny thing is that that move is pretty much a modified Murphy's Law.

[Murphy sits up and smirks before going for the cover.]

Kate: Surely this is over now!

1...

2...

NO!

Kate & Nathan: WHAT?!

Nathan: He kicked out! INCREDIBLE!

[Murphy is now insanely frustrated as The Great Malinko still refuses to stay down. Shaking his head, he rolls out of the ring.]

Kate: Now what's going to happen?!

[Murphy walks over to the timekeeper and yanks the Intercontinental Championship belt out of his hands.]

Nathan: Kyle just took his Championship! Is he going to just walk away?!

[Kyle now goes back to the ring and slides in with the belt in hand. The referee tries to stop him, but Murphy shoves him aside just as Malinko gets to his feet.]

Kate: NO! Don't do it!

[Malinko turns around and Murphy nails him right between the eyes with the Intercontinental Championship!]

Nathan: HA! That's as close as he's going to get to that title!

Kate: Right in front of the referee!

[The referee calls for the bell. Chimpo holds up a microphone after talking to the referee.]

Chimpo the Chimp: Here is your winner, as a result of a disqualification... THE GREAT... MALINKO!

Kate: But Murphy keeps the title! Damn it! I can't believe this match ended like that!

Winner: The Great Malinko

["Shoots And Ladders" by Korn begins to play over the loudspeakers.]

Nathan: Maybe it didn't!

[Shadow now walks out on stage with a mic in hand. The music stops.]

Shadow: Kyle Murphy! I put my faith in you and this is what you do? You go and get yourself disqualified to keep the Intercontinental Championship? Well here's what I'M going to do about that!

[A hush falls over the crowd.]

Shadow: You want that Intercontinental Championship so bad? Well I've got news for you! Next Sunday at Hallowed Ground III: Day Of The Dead, you will defend that title! That's right, I was going to put you in the main event if you'd give up that title, but I've CHANGED MY MIND!

[He pauses.]

Shadow: Havoc wants Seth Dryden one-on-one at Hallowed Ground, so he's going to get him. But as for you, I have a better idea for you! Since you want to nail The Great Malinko with the title and try to screw him over, I'm going to give you something special. At Hallowed Ground it's going to be Venom versus Brickcity "B" versus Kyle Murphy... VERSUS... THE GREAT MALINKO...

[The crowd erupts in cheers at the announcement of this blockbuster match.]

Shadow: In a Fatal Four Way ELIMINATION Match! So what that means, Kyle, is this. If you get yourself disqualified or counted out Sunday, you LOSE that Intercontinental Championship! Because by the rules of an elimination match ALL falls count the same. INCLUDING count outs and disqualifications. So have fun defend that title at Hallowed Ground, Murphy.

[With that Shadow turns and leaves as "Shoots And Ladders" hits again.]

Kate: WOW! Apparently Kyle Murphy just screwed HIMSELF over!

Nathan: But what an awesome match we just had made! A fatal four way elimination match for the Intercontinental Championship! Venom, Brickcity B, Kyle Murphy and THE GREAT MALINKO!

Kate: That should be loads of fun.

Nathan: I think we've had too much fun tonight. It's time for us to go, folks. We'll see you next week...

Kate: No we won't. There is no show next week...

Nathan: Oh yeah. Well... uhh... we'll see you in two weeks. Tune in to Hallowed Ground for tons of great action!

[The show fades away...]
