Live from FedEx Forum
Memphis, Tennessee
With Randy White and John Cartwright

Opening

The show opens in the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee and pyro is exploding from all over. We go ringside to John and Randy.

JC: Well good evening ladies and gentlemen! Tonight we are going to have plenty of good show for you all here at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee.

RW: That's right John we've got some great singles competition lined up along with some intriguing Lethal Lottery matches as we continue that tournament into the second round.

JC: All in all Randy I'm guessing tonight will be a great night.

RW: Can't wait!

Just then the noise coming from the crowd slowly begins to dwindle out when suddenly the opening for "Pretty Noose" by Soundgarden begins to play throughout the arenas speakers. The entire crowd stands up in respectful cheers for Radiant as we see them turn towards the stage awaiting his arrival.

JC: WH-HOA! Look who it is!

RW: Radiant!

We cut to the stage where black, gray, and red smoke starts to fill up the stage in a gloomy mix. Suddenly Radiant steps through the smoke wearing holed up jeans, a white shirt with a leather jacket over it and black sunglasses as he begins to head down the ramp. He carelessly walks by the fans making his way down the ramp ignoring the few hands that desire to be touched. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and turns over to his left and heads to the steel stairs. He climbs up them and steps onto the ring apron. He pauses for a moment and stares down at his feet for a second. Soon enough he lifts his head up and steps into the ring in between the middle and top rope. He enters the ring and immediately heads over to the opposite side of the ring and leans through the ropes. He's handed a microphone as he slowly walks towards the center of the ring looking around at the crowd with a blank face. "Pretty Noose" by Soundgarden quickly fades out as does the crowd, as he raises the mic up to his mouth and begins to speak slowly and gingerly.

Radiant: I'm guessing . . . you’re all wondering why I've come out here tonight. Various thoughts running through your minds. "Is he officially retiring?" "Is he going to make a full return to the ring?" "Is his life finally on track to commit one way or another?" It could be any one of those thoughts.

As he pauses for a moment a small uproar from the crowd starts. He continues as they quiet back down.

Radiant: Well, I am here to tell all of you not to get your hopes up. In fact . . . I'm telling you all to have no hope what so ever. It's a word I hear being thrown around in and out of the ring, day after day after day after day after day. And I can't stand to hear it anymore! It's just a word. It has no significance, no meaning, it exists in our vocabulary and nothing more!

He shouts angrily into the microphone much to the surprise of the entire crowd. He continues.

Radiant: SFT had "hope" that I would deliver in this years Lethal Lottery amongst my "return." Hope they had. And I ask every one of them, and hell, each and every single one of you [pointing around into the crowd] what "hope" got them. What did it get me? A first round exit at the hands of Sophia Dubois and a guy named T.K. Money! No hope, no prayer, no wish, could stop that travesty from occurring. Those were not household names that were victorious folks. They are nobody's, nothing's . . .

His voice trails off as he gathers himself. We hear a lone boo from the distance, but primarily we have a stunned silence. He runs his fingers through the center of his scalp then starts speaking again.

Radiant: It was not "hope" that brought me back in the first place. To be perfectly honest I'm not sure what it was that brought me out of the shadows. But a week after I came back I find myself in the dark once again. Unsure of the future, even unsure of today. I guess I thought I could find the answer. The answer to all my problems. But it was nowhere to be found here. I did not find the answer!

He pauses again.

JC: What is going on here?

RW: I don't know John. I just don't know.

He continues.

Radiant: So where do we go? Where do I go? Do I stay . . . do I leave? Is what's waiting for me away from SFT really something I can return to? I just don't know. But I do know that this "hope" is all, but the dirt on the bottom of my shoes. Grains of dirt at best ladies and gentlemen. At best . . .

With that being said he lowers his arm and microphone down near his waste. He takes another look around the crowd still maintaining a cold expression. He starts to walk towards the ropes when all of sudden . . .

The sound of a guitar riff echoes through the arena as the crowd goes silent. When the last note is heard, the lights go out. Within 10 seconds, red lights flicker throughout the arena as "Set It Off" by Audioslave blasts throughout the arena. As the song blares out, smoke arises from beneath the stage and fills the entrance. Within seconds, the entrance is filled with smoke and two red lights beam from behind the smoke leaving a shadow of a man. The crowd goes nuts as the man steps outside of the smoke and is revealed as Ace.

JC: Hey it's Ace! Alright!

RW: Yeah great to see Ace is back! He'll also being making his in-ring return later on tonight!

JC: This is awesome!

Ace stands on top of the stage looking towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. A confused and curious Radiant looks on as he slowly walks backwards to the center of the ring. Ace then slides into the ring and climbs the nearest turnbuckle and taunts the crowd, as the crowd goes nuts again. He then jumps off and walks over to the opposite turnbuckle and taunts the crowd. He glares down at Radiant with a slight smirk as he walks to one side of the ring and grabs a microphone through the ropes. Ace begins circling the ring smiling, continuously looking at the crowd absorbing his reception. Radiant continues to look on blankly.

RW: Man I wonder what he's doing out here!

JC: I don't know we'll have to see.

RW: Ace and Radiant! Days of old John!

JC: I know it. This certainly is interesting.

Back in the ring we see Ace has finally stopped circling around and is now just a few feet away from Radiant merely looking at him, still with that smirk. "Set It Off" by Audioslave finally begins to fade out as we're left with chants of "ACE! ACE! ACE!" This goes on for nearly a minute before fading out. He acknowledges them with the glance of his eyes one last time quickly before transforming his face to a more serious tone as he looks back into the eyes of Radiant. He opens his mouth wide and runs his hand down his goatee. All is fairly quiet and settled now. He waits a few more seconds then raises the mic up and begins to speak.

Ace: Radiant . . . Nick, man. How's it going?

No reaction at all from Radiant. He continues.

Ace: It's been a looooong time friend. Real long time. I was just in the backstage area [pointing with his thumb behind him over his shoulder] and I was listening to everything you were saying man. The stuff about there being no hope, the Lethal Lottery not turning out the way you had expected it to, all of it. Your telling me there isn't the smallest part of you that's at least a little bit happy to be home? In S-F-T.

The crowd says along with Ace then cheers for a moment. Continuing.

Ace: Screw the Lethal Lottery you just need to be back in the ring period brother. Maybe you don't realize it, but this has always been a safe haven for you man. It's been a safe haven for a lot of people in this business. I bet the bumps we take in the ring are nothing compared to what we deal with outside of the ring. Hell being here is like the cooler side of the pillow. It fills in those holes we have in our lives. Do you not feel that anymore?

Ace pauses momentarily and awaits a response, but no response is given. Radiant maintains his current state. Ace shakes his head then continues on again.

Ace: And "no hope." Of course there's hope. Hope is nothing we can see nor hear, but we can feel it. We can express it. Not for the past . . . but for today and the future. It's what can get a person through the day. It's what could get you through a day should you embrace it. Man close your eyes, clear your head and take a giant leap of faith. Maybe giving hope a chance is the best shot you've got. I don't mean to preach nor tell you how you should live man, but I think those are some good friendly words of advice, no?

Ace holds out his arms for a second to see if Radiant is grasping anything he is saying to him. Radiant tilts his head back ever so slightly and crosses his arms one over the other. Ace takes a step forward while looking down at the ground and continues on.

Ace: I like to think of us as friends though we haven’t seen much of each other over the past few years. And if nothing else at least listen and take to heart what a friend of yours is saying to you. Maybe just maybe, better things may lie ahead. SFT without Radiant is no good. Life without Radiant is no good. Both without hope are no good . . .

With that said Ace lowers the microphone down before dropping it to the side. He takes another step closer to Radiant and awaits a response. Radiant looks at him seemingly never going to change his demeanor. A minute passes and Ace gradually extends out a hand.

RW: Oh it looks like he’s offering a handshake.

JC: Wonderful observation.

The crowd builds with anticipation and begins getting louder and louder with cheers. Finally Radiant unfolds his arms and reaches out and accepts Ace’s handshake. The crowd gets really loud with applause and ovation. Ace smiles as does Radiant, barely though, as they continue to shake hands. “Set It Off” by Audioslave kicks back in throughout the arena as we slowly pan away from the ring seeing Ace and Radiant standing there shaking hands. Ace holds a fist in the air as the segment cuts.

"Return of the Mack" hits and Superior Staffer Anthony Jesus makes his way out to the stage. He has microphone.

Anthony Jesus: Alexander, Aidan has not shown up here tonight in Memphis, Tennessee. I guess he must think your not worth his time. Personally, your not worth my time.

Alexander the Great: Worth your time? Well I think all these people out here would deem me worth of coming up there and personally fucking you up my dude!

The crowd pops and Jesus looks at Alexander with thoughts of how to bring pain to the world of one Alexander the Great.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Match Number Three
Saint Jude & Big T vs. Connor MacDaddy & Sara Pettis
( Standard Tag - Lethal Lottery Round 2 )

“Ring of Fire” hits and Saint Jude walks out on the stage. He walks down the ramp, but in a shy way. He enters the ring and waits.

RW: Saint Jude has been taught by the best and the best was taught by the very best.

The lights begin to dim and then go out. Two quarters drop on a table on the Tron. "You Dont Know" by Eminem ft. 50 Cent, Cashis, and Lloyd Banks hits the PA system. Gold, silver, and green lights flash throughout the arena. A single red spotlight shines down at the top of the ramp and out from behind the curtain walks Big T. He begins making his way down the ramp and the fans are cheering him so loud its deafening. But the crowd's reaction phases him not. Big T walks up the stairs and enters the ring. Big T jumps up on the middle turnbuckle, yells out to the crowd, and takes in their love for him. "You Dont Know" fades off and the lights come back on as Big T steps off the rope and waits in the corner with Saint Jude.

JC: Big T is just a week away from possibly living his dream of being SFT World Champion. If he can win here tonight with Jude, he sets himself up in the tag team finals of the Lethal Lottery tournament and could end up being #1 contender to a title he may hold already.

"Mack Daddy" by Sir Mix-a-lot blares over the PA system. 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 the middle finger. He slides in the ring and goes on the turnbuckle and makes X crosses in the air to the crowd.

RW: The name Connor MacDaddy has been surrounded by controversy as of late. What he did at Hotter Than Hell and what he may or may not be doing to his partner’s sister.

"Because I'm Awesome" by the Dolly Rots hits the p.a. as the arena lights go down to black. The stage lights flash between blue and white, as Sara steps out from the back. A spotlight hits her as she stands at the top of the ramp, before "blowing a kiss" into the sky. She starts to walk down the ramp, with the spotlight following her, slapping hands with fans on both sides. When she gets to the bottom the arena lights come back up, as she climbs the stairs, but stops before getting on the apron. She looks at Connor MacDaddy with nothing but hate in her eyes. She steps onto the apron but does not enter the ring.

JC: The daughter of XCW legend Ice and Andrew Pettis, better known as Amp. The mystery surrounding her sister Jane and Connor MacDaddy has been documented and eventually we will find out what is truly going on in the MacDaddy house hold.

The referee calls for the bell.

DING DING DING

RW: Let’s see who’s going to start it off for each team.

Big T and Jude talk and decide who’s going to start for them.

JC: Looks like Big T is going to start for his team.

Connor and Sara continue to stare each other down. Connor goes to step through the ropes to the apron and Sara enters the ring to stay away from him as much as possible.

JC: And it looks like Connor has decided that Sara will start for there team.

Big T looks at Sara who still has her eyes locked on Connor MacDaddy. Big T notices this and attacks her.

RW: Big T starting things off.

JC: He said all week he would use the distraction between Connor and Sara to his advantage.

Big T hits Sara with some shots to the back that make her drop to the mat.

RW: Big T has over a hundred pounds and about nine inches or so on Sara.

Big T keeps knocking Sara down as she tries to get up. All of a sudden Sara bursts up and runs off the ropes. Big T ducks his head and Sara leap frogs him. Sara bounces off the ropes and comes back to a waiting Big T who hits a tilt-a-whirl back breakers on Sara.

JC: That was one of the most vicious back breakers I have ever seen.

Sara is holding her back and rolling around on the mat in pain. Big T stalks around the ring, kicking her every three seconds just to keep her down. Big T brings Sara to her feet and sets her up for a suplex and Sara’s body hits with authority on the mat. Big T covers her, but does not hook a leg.

JC: 1! … 2! …

RW: Sara slides out from under Big T for the kickout.

Big T stands up and brings Sara to her feet as well. Big T whips Sara into a neutral corner where he then begins to chop her tiny frame.

JC: With each knife edge chop you can see the pain in Sara’s face.

Big T pulls Sara out of the corner and over to his own corner, where he tags in Jude. Jude comes in and hits Sara a couple times. Jude pulls Sara out of the corner and whips her across the ring. She bounces off the ropes and comes back at Jude who is running at her with a double ax handle but she ducks it. Sara stops mid motion to turn around before Jude can and hits a hurricanrana on him when he does turn around.

RW: Nice hurricanrana by Sara.

Sara is up and waiting for Jude who gets up and runs at her with a clothesline. Sara runs at him and ducks underneath Jude’s arm. Sara bounces off the ropes and hits a head scissor takedown on Jude, who slides out of the ring.

JC: A veteran move by Jude, but Sara is letting up.

Sara sling shots herself over the top rope and down onto Jude. Sara lands on her feet and looks out to the crowd and they cheer her. Jude is getting up and Sara whips him into the guardrail, Jude holds his back. Sara stays on him and whips him into the apron of the ring, Jude drops to his knees on the floor.

RW: Ms. Pettis is taking it to Jude here.

Sara brings Jude to his feet and rolls him in the ring. She slides in and covers him.

JC: 1! … 2! …

RW: NOOO!!

JC: Jude got his shoulder up.

Sara grabs Jude and looks at Connor as if she wants to make a tag but refuses too. Sara whips Jude into the ropes and hits a dropkick to his face, putting him down on the mat. Sara then goes out on the apron and crutches down, waiting for Jude to get up. Jude gets up slowly holding his face. He spins around to face Sara who spring boards herself off the top rope and flies through the air with a cross body that Jude ducks and Sara crashes into the mat.

RW: Crash and burn for Sara Pettis.

Sara is getting up holding her midsection. When she is on her feet Jude charges at her and makes her go inside out with a lariat.

JC: I’d give Sara a 9 on that twisting half gainer.

Jude collects himself quickly and is right on the attack. Sara is getting up slowly and when she is up Jude boots her in the gut, sets her up and hits a piledriver.

RW: Dropped Sara on the top of her head with that piledriver.

Jude covers her, hooking a leg.

JC: 1! … 2! … NOT YET!!

RW: I can’t believe the guts and will of Sara Pettis.

Jude stands up and brings Sara to her feet as well. Jude shoves Sara back into his corner and punches her in the gut. Jude tags in Big T and the two go to work on Sara as Connor just watches and smirks.

JC: Connor could less that Sara is getting pummeled by both Jude and Big T.

Jude goes out to the apron and Big T continues to hit Sara, and with each punch looks over at Connor. Big T sits himself on the top turnbuckles and grabs Sara by her head and hits a diamond dust out the corner.

RW: If Big T pins Sara, this match could be over.

Big T goes to pin Sara but doesn’t. Instead he drags Sara toward her corner. Big T holds Sara’s hand out for Connor to tag, but he won’t.

JC: Connor is refusing to tag Sara’s hand and get into this match.

RW: Come on Connor, be a man!!

Connor turns his back and Big T then drags Sara closer and reaches her hand out and tags in Connor. Connor turns around and can’t believe Big T just tagged him. Connor gets in the ring and as Sara gets up he launches her over the top rope and out to the floor.

RW: What a jackass!!

Connor turns around to receive a punch from Big T. Big T rocks Connor with a couple of shots to the face. Big T whips Connor into the ropes and lowers his head. Connor catches Big T with a kick sending him straight up. Connor rakes Big T’s eyes.

JC: What a dirty player!!

Connor waits for Big T to spin around toward him and when Big T does Connor blatantly pokes him in his eyes. Connor whips Big T into the ropes again and as Big T is running back toward Connor, Connor lifts him up and drops him throat first across the top rope.

RW: Connor just dropped Big T with a stun gun.

Connor covers Big T.

JC: 1! … 2! … and NOO!!

RW: Big T isn’t going to be pinned that easily.

Connor stands up and hits Jude out of nowhere, knocking him off the apron and down on the floor. Connor waits as Big T gets up slowly. Once Big T is on his feet Connor lifts him up across his shoulders and begins to spin around as fast as he can.

JC: The airplane spin is the prelude to the back spear!

Connor drops Big T on his feet and the two stagger around the ring trying to collect themselves. Connor is the first to do so.

RW: Here it comes!!

Connor runs off the ropes and runs by Big T, who is still trying to get all his bearings back. Connor is a full a head of steam as he bounces off the ropes again. Connor bounces off the first set of ropes again and when he does Sara trips him up and Connor lands face first on the mat.

JC: Sara tripped up Connor!

RW: Connor wouldn’t tag in so he deserves it!

JC: When Connor turns around his jaw is going to get jacked.

Connor is still yelling at Sara and finally decides to turn around….

RW: GAME OVER!!!

Big T covers Connor, hooking a leg as well.

JC: 1! … 2! … 3!

RW: Big T!! Big T!!

“You Don’t Know” hits up!

JC: Big T and Saint Jude did exactly what they said they would do, they took advantage of Sara and Connor’s unwillingness to co-exist.

Big T has his hand raised and so does Jude when he reenters the ring.

RW: Big T and Saint Jude join Sophia DuBois and Mike Zybala in the finals. Who will be the final two join them?

Winner: Saint Jude and Big T

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Match Number Four
Detective Matthew Jones vs. Josh Konnely
( Standard Match )

The whole arena goes pitch black as silence as all around the arena and than thunder sounds are heard and a huge bang as the titan-tron says the words "The Law" as the video is a very dark video showing jail cells closing and "I fought the law" by the Clash hits the arena and out steps Matthew Jones as he slowly walks up the steps showing no emotion to the fans and Matthew enters the ring and poses for the crowd for a second as he waits for his opponent to come out.

RW: Detective Jones has been very impressive in his short time here in SFT.

JC: He had a great showing last week against Big T and Sara Pettis.

"NEVER BACK DOWN IN THE FACE ANGER!" The lights flicker, then go out as "In The Face Of Anger" by Shattersphere blares through the arena. A yellow light illuminates the stage area as two rockets of pyro fly from the far side of the arena to explode on the stage. Josh Konnely steps out into the smoke left by the exploding pyro, and raises his arms as the crowd boos. With his fists clenched and a scowl on his face, Konnely walks down the aisle to ringside. He runs up the steps, walks to the center of the apron, and climbs through the ropes into the ring. There he stretches against the ropes and gets ready to fight.

RW: Like Jones, Josh Konnely has opened some eyes in SFT.

JC: Josh is a future champion, just like Jones. This is for rookie supremacy.

The ref calls for the bell.

DING DING DING

Konnely wastes no time and attacks Jones while his back is turned. Konnely with shots to Jones’ back. Konnely whips Jones across the ring, ducks his head, and Jones boots him up. Jones clothesline Konnely down, but Konnely is right up. Jones clotheslines Konnely down again, but Konnely is right up again. Jones dropkicks Konnely in the knees and he drops to the mat.

RW: Nice move by Jones.

Jones brings Konnely to his feet and rakes his eyes. Jones grabs Konnely and hits a suplex. Jones covers.

JC: 1… 2… Konnely kicks out.

Jones stands up and brings Konnely to his feet and tosses him in the corner. Jones chops Konnely a couple of times and then whips him across the ring into the turnbuckles. Jones charges in and Konnely moves out of the way at the last possible second causing Jones to ram his shoulder into the post.

RW: That’ll pop your shoulder out of socket.

Jones staggers around to face Konnely who hooks Jones and hits a snap suplex. Konnely grabs Jones arm he rammed into the pole and puts on a cross armbreaker. Konnely wrenches it in.

JC: You can see the pain in Jones’ eyes.

Konnely lays back as much as he can to put pressure on Jones’ elbow joint. The ref checks to see if Jones wants to give up.

RW: Test time for the Detective, can he handle the pain?

The crowd starts cheering for Jones, who begins to make his way toward the ropes.

JC: There you go, use that pig brain of yours.

RW: Pig brain?

JC: I can smell bacon here in Memphis.

Jones gets his foot on the rope and the ref tells Konnely to break the hold and he does as the ref counts to 4. Konnely brings Jones to his feet, kicks him in the gut, and hits a nice swinging neck breaker.

RW: That was almost perfect execution.

Konnely covers Jones.

JC: 1! … 2! …Jones with the kick out at the last possible moment!

Konnely brings Jones to his feet and hits a back breaker. Konnely then brings Jones to the corner and puts him across the top rope. Konnelys climbs up backward, putting Jones across his shoulders.

RW: This could be good or bad for the both of them.

Jones catches Konnely with elbows to the side of his face just before Konnely can get on the middle rope. Konnely leaves Jones across the top rope. Jones is on his feet and hits Konnely with punches when he turns around. Jones boots Konnely in the gut and goes for a piledriver, but Konnely blocks and goes through Jones’ legs. Konnely grabs Jones from behind and looks for a reverse DDT but Jones reverses by back flipping over Konnely’s shoulder and as he does he locks on The Cop Lock.

RW: He calls that The Cop Lock…

JC: …and he has it on Konnely real good.

Konnely is trying to withstand the submission hold for as long as he can.

RW: Come on kid, get to the ropes and break the hold.

Konnely is trying to get out of the Cop Lock but can not and as soon as Jones tightens up Konnely taps out.

JC: Jones made Konnely tap out!!

RW: This was a great match between two future champions here in SFT.

The ref raises Jones’ hand in victory.


Winner: Detective Matthew Jones

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Match Number Five
Kyle Murphy & Mikheil Jarvis vs. Dameon & TK Money
( Standard Tag - Lethal Lottery Round 2 )

"Hate Me" begins to ring throughout the arena, the lights dim, blue and white strobe lights flash around the entrance while smoke fills the whole stage. The beat picks up as the lights turn from their original nice colors to a darker red much like blood. Dameon bursts through the curtains with kendo stick in hand, using the kendo stick as almost a shade he peers out into the audience taking in all the boos and cheers as fuel for his match. Dameon begins to saunter down the ramp pointing his kendo stick around at different fans, and T.K. Money follows behind him. As Dameon reaches the halfway point of the ramp the lights in the arena come back on. Dameon starts to make his way around the ring, as T.K. just slides into the ring. Dameon spots a few fans holding random signs and screaming his name, he walks over to them and grabs a couple of shoulders, pulling himself up on the guard rail, the fans cheer, showing their appreciation to a wrestler that acknowledges them. Dameon jumps down from the guardrail, turns to the ring, slides in, and works his way to the far corner, and sets his kendo stick down on the apron for safe keeping. He then begins to loosen up his wrists while crouching in the corner waiting for his match to begin.

The sounds of Apocalytpica hit the PA System as Mikheil Jarvis walks out from behind the curtain. He walks down the ramp focused on only one thing and that's the mission ahead to defeat his opponent and continue to the next task. He climbs to the apron, but stops short of getting in the ring as he notices T.K. and Dameon staring at him.

"Enter Sandman" by Metallica hits the loudspeakers and green and gold pyro erupt at the stage area. Kyle Murphy walks out, with Fireball at his side. Murphy has the TV Championship over one shoulder and the US Championship over the other. He and Fireball walk down the ramp. Fireball shakes hands with some of the fans surrounding the aisle, but Kyle keeps his attention on the ring. At ringside Kyle leaps to the top of the steps, then walks to the middle of the apron before stepping into the ring. Going to the near corner, he climbs to the second rope and raises both championships over his head, Fireball applauding him from the floor. The crowd continues to roar, and Murphy steps down off the second rope. He holds up the championships one more time, then hands them to the referee and gets ready to compete.

JC: Well, we all continue to be baffled by this developing friendship and association between Kyle Murphy and the legendary Fireball, but I don't know that anyone is disappointed to see Fireball back.

RW: That's for sure. Fireball has wrestled many of the best wrestlers to ever set foot in an SFT ring, and has beaten almost all of them.

Murphy and Jarvis begin discussing who should start the match, each standing in the ring in their corner, as T.K. and Dameon do the same. Murphy pounds his fist on his palm three times, suggesting they do a "rock, paper, scissors" to determine who will start. Jarvis just shakes his head, and climbs out to the apron.

JC: I don't think Jarvis is much up for children's games.

RW: Apparently not. It looks as though it will be Murphy and Money starting off this Lethal Lottery quarterfinal matchup.

Kyle shrugs as he turns his attention to T.K. Murphy and Money lock-up, and Kyle easily pushes T.K. down to the mat with authority. Money gets up, frustrated, and Dameon shouts something at him. Murphy flexes his muscles, and smirks at T.K. Money takes advantage of the situation, deliver a left foot to the ribs of Murphy. He follows that up with a right foot to the other side. As Murphy steps back, T.K. punches him first with the left hand, then with the right.

JC: I think T.K. Money has realized that a lock-up is not the way to go with the nine-inch taller, hundred and ten pound heavier Kyle Murphy.

RW: Hey, what do you know? He's not as stupid as he looks.

T.K. attempts to whip Kyle into his team's corner, but Murphy counters and whips him hard to the corner instead. Money hits the turnbuckles hard, and staggers forward into a back body drop from Murphy. When T.K. gets back up, Kyle forces a lock up. Murphy forces Money back into his own corner, but Dameon takes advantage by making a blind tag as Murphy pushes T.K. back in the corner. Dameon comes into the ring as Murphy has Money pinned back in their corner. Dameon punches Murphy in the side, forcing him to let up off of T.K. Money.

JC: What's going on here?

RW: Dameon just tagged T.K. Money. The referee saw the tag, but Murphy did not, and that has opened the door for Dameon here.

Dameon whips Murphy to one of the "neutral" corners, and charges at him. He goes for a double knee lift in the corner, but Murphy sidesteps, causing Dameon to hit the top turnbuckle with both knees. Murphy quickly goes to his corner and makes the tag to the fresh man. As Dameon walks away from the corner, holding his knees, Jarvis takes him down with a chop block. Acting quickly, Jarvis follows this up with a Texas cloverleaf, targeting the legs of Dameon. T.K. Money comes in quickly, and Jarvis breaks the hold to greet him, as T.K. walks right into a Reverse STO from Mikheil.

JC: T.K. tried to help his partner out there, but Jarvis was ready for him.

RW: He sure did. But it looks like the distraction has given Dameon an opening again!

Jarvis turns back to Dameon, and is floored with a 'power clothesline' from The Beast as T.K. rolls out of the ring. Dameon attempts to pull Jarvis to his feet, but Mikheil places a shoulder into his gut and drives him back to the corner where Murphy is standing. Jarvis makes the tag to Murphy, and takes Dameon to the mat with a Northern Lights suplex before sliding out of the ring. Murphy follows up with an elbow drop, followed by a second. Kyle then whips Dameon back to his team's corner, following him with a clothesline. Grabbing his arm, Murphy sends Dameon to the opposite corner, and clotheslines him there as well.

JC: The Standard is rolling!

RW: It's hard to stop him when he's fired up like this!

Murphy grabs Dameon in a front facelock, and turns so that he can look at to Fireball. With a nod, Murphy drops Dameon with a spike DDT!

JC: That was Fireball's finisher, the X-Calibur!

RW: They say impersonation is the sincerest form of flattery, John!

Fearing for his partner, T.K. Money again rushes into the ring, raining forearms to the back of Murphy's head and neck as he gets to his feet. Covering up, Murphy staggers back to his corner, and Jarvis tags himself in. Running right past Murphy and Money, Jarvis dives into a cover on Dameon, but T.K. turns around and breaks the count up at two. When T.K. turns back to Murphy, Kyle catches him with a No Maker's Mark. Meanwhile, Jarvis runs to the ropes, but gets met with a big boot from Dameon. Murphy, not seeming to realize that he was tagged out, grabs Dameon and delivers a Celtic Cross. Kyle goes for a pin, but the referee explains to him that Jarvis made a tag, and sends him back out the ring apron.

Jarvis stands up to find Dameon and T.K. both down on the mat. T.K. rolls out of the ring again, and Jarvis catches Dameon with a running bulldog when he gets to his feet. Jarvis goes for another cover, but Dameon gets a foot on the ropes at two. Jarvis looks angry, but waits for Dameon to pull himself up. When he does so, Jarvis runs to the ropes.

JC: What's he going to do here?!

Just as Jarvis gets to the ropes, T.K. Money pulls the top rope down, causing Jarvis to fall over the top to the floor.

RW: We'll never know now! T.K. just bridged the top rope on him!

Money quickly hops up to the apron in his corner, and takes a much needed tag from Dameon. T.K. goes back out of the ring, trying to stay on Jarvis. As the referee starts a ten count, Murphy and Dameon start to fight in the ring. Murphy ducks a punch, and catches Dameon with a now rare Murphy's Law. On the outside, Jarvis regains control on T.K. Money, dropping him chest first across the security rail. Jarvis slides back into the ring as Murphy goes back to their corner. Jarvis tags in Murphy, as T.K. rolls into the ring. Murphy grabs T.K., and lifts him onto his shoulder in a Canadian backbreaker rack.

JC: Look at the power of Murphy! He's just manhandling T.K. Money like a rag doll!

RW: What a devastating move! T.K. might just want to give up here!

Murphy keeps Money up in the rack for some time, but T.K. shakes his head when asked if he wants to submit. Finally, Dameon slides into the ring and dropkicks Murphy in the knee. Kyle drops T.K., and Dameon runs to the ropes. This time Fireball takes redemption for earlier, pulling the top rope down and causing Dameon to crash to the floor. T.K. Money sees this as he gets to his feet, and he begins shouting at Fireball, asking what he did that for. Murphy takes advantage, whirling T.K. around and hitting him with the DUBLIN CALLING.

JC: DUBLIN CALLING!

As Murphy gets up, Jarvis reaches over the top rope and tags himself in. As Jarvis gets into the ring, T.K. pops up and falls back into his own corner, holding the back of his head.

RW: T.K. was able to get up after being dropped on the back of his head, but look at him! He's out on his feet!

Running towards T.K., Jarvis delivers the SILENCE!

JC: Jarvis with the Silence! He just tagged himself in and hit the Silence!

RW: I think that's going to be it! Jarvis is going to pick up the win!

T.K. Money collapses to the mat, and Jarvis covers him. Murphy reluctantly gets out of the ring, and the referee drops down to make the count.

JC: 1... 2... 3!

RW: Fireball supplied the distraction, and Murphy supplied the Dublin Calling, but Jarvis grabs the win with the Silence and then pin!

JC: Well, regardless of how they got there, Mikheil Jarvis and Kyle Murphy have advanced to the semifinals match of the Lethal Lottery!

RW: And I think it's for that reason that Kyle Murphy isn't going to complain about this strange ending! Talk about a crazy match!

Winner: Kyle Murphy and Mikheil Jarvis

Match Number Six
The Guyver vs. Nirvana
( Standard Match )

"Won't Back Down" plays over the address sound system. As it blast the sound system. The Guyver steps down the entrance ramp through the smoke. White sparkling with gold, red, and black pyro mixed as it begins to engulf the Guyver as he stands with his facing forward at the ring and his arms in a formation and his head is down. He spins 180 degree to his right and drops his arms to his side. He slowly brings his head up as he glares into the camera. As his head goes completely up and levels. He breathes a stream of smoke out of his nose. He slowly and menacingly walks down to the ring. He climbs onto the turnbuckle and raises his arms in the air. He crosses the ring to the opposite turnbuckle. Then he climbs up the turnerbuckle. As he raise his fist up through out the arena as he repeats the process acknowledging the crowd chanting and cheering. RW: Here is The Guyver and he looks ready to go.

The arena is plunged into darkness as the sound of gears moving echos through the arena. Gears start to rise from the ramp way, each one moving in it's own way. The Striketron begins to flash pictures of gears moving. The word "MACHINA" appears over the gears in dark crimson.

"Machina" Nirvana's voice calls out through the arena.

The gears continue to move, suddenly moving much faster as a beautiful image of a butterfly emerging from it's cacoon appears on the jumbotron. The arena is plunged into gold which flashes into silver every other second, than back into gold. Images of babies being born and people filing into churches and other social places to appear on the jumbotron. First just a child walking, and than a bear attacking a wolf and ripping it's guts out. A sigh is sent out over the pa as white powder begins to call from the arena celing. Soon, the jumbotron shows images of past Jeff King matches from SFT and RWA. Finaly, the last image shown is of Jeff King holding the SFT title above his head after his first world title win.

The gears move even faster, this time forcing a throne to rise from the area directly in front of the striketron. The sounds coming over the pa speed up. That's when "Play Dead" by Combichrist hits the pa.

"THAT'S RIGHT. LAY DOWN. PLAY DEAD. BE DEAD!"

Nirvana stands up, wearing a long crimson robe. Lucretia appears behind him, her hands running down his chest as he glances out into the audience with his piercing eyes. Within his eyes the audience can see moving gears, almost clockwork in nature. As the bass of "Play Dead" hits Lucretia rips the robe off of Nirvana and flames explode from behind them.

He is dressed in torn and tattered battle clothes. They are black and show wear from any battles, As if it's tradition to wear them in each battle he had. The crowd beings to cheer, but most of them are in awe of him as he walks towards the ring with great stride. He has his trademark cane at his side, the tip sharpened into a spike. Around his neck is barbed wire, tied together into a huge rope of wire. 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, spitting in the fans direction, and nodding towards the fans, who, in turn, boo him. Climbing into the ring with Lucretia, he removes his shirt, revealing his wrestling gear beneath it. Lucretia raises his arm above his head and goes in for a passionate kiss, than leaves the ring to take her place at the side. He goes to the to the back turnbuckle and nods to the fans with his cane, which he drops outside the ring with his barbed wire.

Guyver and Nirvana are siziing each other up as the bell rings. The Guyver with a series of body drops on Nirvana. Nirvana fights back with a snapmare into a russian leg sweep as the crowd cringe at the nastiness of the move.

Nirvana stands over Guyver but doesn’t pin him. Nirvana tries a leg drop but Guyver gets out of the way.

RW: This match has been a faster pace than I anticipated.

Nirvana gets a quick pin by Guyver but only gets a 1 count, Guyver with a quick pick up and a scoop slam, he monkey flips Nirvana into the turnbuckle and does a short bronco buster that gets the crowd behind him.

JC: Nice series there by Guyver.

Guyver with a sit down powerbomb that rattles the ring, he slowly gets to cover Nirvana 1…………2…………………..kickout!

JC: ooooooh that was close!

Guyver brings Nirvana to his feet but Nirvana catches him in the ugt with a punch. Nirvana lifts up Guyver and body slams him. Nirvana then drags Guyver to the rope and chokes him by stepping on Guyver's throat. The ref counts: 1, 2, 3, 4, and Nirvana steps off.

RW: Nirvana is trying to choke out Guyver.

JC: Take the wind out of his sails and he'll slowly shut down.

Nirvana picks Guyver up and runs and bulldogs him down and then locks him in a choke. The ref comes to check and feels that its a choke so he counts again: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Nirvana refuses to let go. And the ref warns him again and then counts again: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

RW: Nirvana wont let go.

The ref calls for the bell and Nirvana gets disqualfied.

JC: Nirvana just cost himself the match.

RW: That was dumb but I guess he's trying to make a point.

Winner: The Guyver

Match Number Seven
Myris vs. The Accountant
( Standard Match )

JC: Our next match is bound to be one hell of a bout!

RW: Just last week these two men were teaming together, and this week they're going one on one!

JC: It should be a good showing!

The crowd sit expectantly in their seats as the first murmurings of 'Head like a Hole' start to play out into the arena, strobe lights start to strafe the arena as they seek the illusive Myris. As the heavy line kicks in Myris emerges from one of the emergency exits in the crowd accompanied by a few of the security staff to keep the hateful crowd at bay. Myris makes his way to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope, he stands up, removes his shirt and throws it at the referee before standing on the second turnbuckle - a picture of focused tranquility amongst the seething boos from a disapproving crowd.

JC: There's Myris, who doesn't look too pleased after that loss last week.

The sounds of 'Money, Money, Money' begin to play as The Accountant walks to the ring carrying a silver briefcase and wearing spectacles. The Accountant enters the ring via the middle rope and then he sets the briefcase down under one of the corner turnbuckles, pops it open, places his glasses in it, closes it, and prepares for his opponent to enter the ring. He looks over at his opponent as he gives him a nasty smirk and prepares for battle.

RW: The Accountant seems pretty pumped as well.

The bell rings as Myris and Accountant circle one another. They both keep a keen eye on one another before both stopping and coming in to the ring locking up in a collar and elbow. Myris is the first to change it and locks Accountant in a quick hammerlock. Accountant takes his free arm and tries to reach behind himself to get at Myris, but he just can't seem to reach him. Myris wrenches on the arm causing Accountant to hold his shoulder. Accountant reverses the hammerlock and now has Myris in it. Myris is quick to get out it by dropping to the ground, rolling forward and locks in a quick leg lock on Accountant, but Accountant is too close to the ropes and the referee breaks the hold.

JC: This could turn in to one of those who can out wrestle who matches.

RW: Isn't that every match?

JC: Shut up.

Myris and Accountant both get to their feet as they once again circle one another. Accountant goes in to lock up but Myris is quick to get a kick to the gut, doubling Accountant over.

He leans Accountant against the ropes and proceeds to hit him with forearm smashes to the face and chest. He grabs Accountant by the arm and Irish-whips him across the ring.

RW: The Scotsman with an Irish-whip!

JC: Shut up before he comes over here and whacks you.

The Accountant is about to rebound as Myris runs and jumps up for a dropkick, but Accountant holds on to the ropes stopping the momentum as Myris falls to the ground. Accountant is quick though and grabs the legs of Myris and starts trying to force his way in to The Audit!

JC: He's going for the Audit!

Myris fights his way out of it as Accountant has one leg under each arm, trying to gain control of Myris. Myris brings his legs in towards his chest and brings Accountant down towards him and begins to just lay straight fist shots in to the face of the Accountant. Accountant tries to fight through the first three but the fourth one knocks him for a loop. Accountant releases Myris and finds himself on the ropes checking his face for blood. Myris gets up and rushes towards Accountant, Accountant thinks one step ahead again and throws Myris over the top rope with a back body drop! Myris though grabs on to the ropes and finds himself on the apron, as the Accountant turns around Myris comes flying through the air, He grabs a hold of Accountant's head and brings him down with a tornado DDT!

RW: Accountant took his eye off Myris for just that split second and Myris capitalized!

Myris is about to suplex him, but Accountant begins a barrage of back elbows to the head of Myris! Myris ducks one and Accountant spins around with the elbow attempt. He grabs a hold of Myris' head and waist and just powers him up on to his shoulder before dropping him with a quick neck-breaker!

JC: Accountant managed to get a neck breaker out of nowhere!

Myris and Accountant are both down as the referee checks on both of them before beginning the inevitable 10 count of doom!

RW: You too can be a referee, just pass preschool.

Myris and Accountant are not down for long though. they get to their feet in a fairly short time, as the referee barely makes it to 7 and seems to be struggling with any number higher than that. Myris leaning against the ropes is holding his neck as The Accountant finds himself standing more towards the centre of the ring. Accountant sprints towards Myris and levels him with a shot to the side of the head with his forearm. Myris goes down to the second rope as Accountant picks him back up, and gutwrenches him up on to his shoulder once again.

JC: He may be looking for that running power slam he likes to use!

RW: Stop telling Myris what he's going to do!

JC: Stop being a bitch!

Accountant walks with Myris on his right shoulder towards the turnbuckles, he begins to run towards the opposite side of the ring, but Myris gets free of Accountant's grasp! He drops down behind him and pushes him forward in to the turnbuckles! Accountant holds his chest as he comes walking backwards in to Myris, who once again grabs the Accountant around the waist. He then brings Accountant up and drops him on the back of his head with a German suplex! Myris, quickly to his feet then drags the Accountant's legs in a clockwise manner so that he's in perfect position. Myris scrambles up the turnbuckles and faces out towards the audience before he jumps off and delivers a gorgeous moonsault on to the Accountant! Myris' momentum takes him off the Accountant as he holds his chest from delivering the move!

Myris, gets to his feet slowly as he stands in the corner holding his chest. Accountant is laying on his side holding his own chest from the beating it has taken in the past couple of minutes. Slowly, Accountant gets to one knee facing away from Myris. Myris quickly runs to the ropes that Accountant is facing and hits him square in the face with The Stand Off!

JC: Stand off! Myris hit his shining wizard!

The steel cage is almost lowered and ringside personnel secure the cage.

JC: This is going to be violent.

“Basketcase” hits up and Twilight walks out slowly. He walks up the steps and enters the steel cage and then the ring. He looks around the cage and then sits in the corner.

RW: A lot of controversy surrounding this man.

JC: Twilight is one of those guys nobody understands and probably never will.

Anarchy Club's 'Blood Doll' begins to play when the lights in the arena turn blue. Jared Mayer walks out from the back. He does not stop or pause, just walks down towards the ring, eyeing his opponent showing no emotion. Lucretia Black walks out a moment after him and follows him down to the ring. She whispers some German into his ear. She steps back and allows him to climb into the ring.

RW: Jared has almost 100lbs on Twilight, I have no idea how Twilight expects to win.

JC: Let alone get a win inside the steel cage.

The referee calls for the bell as the cage door is locked.

DING DING DING

Twilight is staring at Mayer while he is still sitting in the corner. Twilight brings himself to his feet and gets right in the big man’s face.

RW: Twilight has some balls to step to somebody a hundred pounds bigger.

Mayer and Twilight don’t say anything to each other. They just stare into each other’s eyes looking for weaknesses. Twilight then begins to strike Mayer. Twilight is hitting Mayer with punches but they don’t faze him. Twilight runs off the ropes and hits a clothesline on Mayer, but it doesn’t knock the big man back even a step.

JC: Twilight better figure out something to do before Mayer gets a hold of him.

Twilight dropkicks Mayer and then again and then again, throwing Mayer’s balance off slightly. Twilight hops up on the middle turnbuckle and tries a body press but Mayer catches him and drops him to the mat with a sick power slam.

RW: Mayer has so much power and he just showed it as he drove Twilight’s body into the mat.

Mayer grabs Twilight and brings him to his feet. Mayer lifts Twilight up and body slams him. Mayer brings Twilight to his feet again and runs him into the steel cage. As Twilight bounces back Mayer grabs him and hits a double arm suplex. Mayer covers Twilight.

Twilight is up and running fast off the ropes and again with a dropkick staggering Mayer backward. Twilight starts nailing Mayer in the face with forearm shots. Twilight has Mayer reeling against the ropes and as he has Mayer staggering Twilight runs Mayer across the ring and tries to run him into the steel cage but Mayer blocks by grabbing the cage and then clotheslining Twilight.

RW: That was a nasty clothesline.

JC: I thought he took off Twilight’s head.

Mayer jumps up in the air and misses an elbow drop when Twilight rolls out of the way. Mayer goes for another big elbow drop but again Twilight rolls out of the way. Twilight gets up real quick as Mayer is coming down and then dropkicks Mayer in the face. Mayer isn’t down long and he charges at Twilight who uses Mayer’s own momentum to send him into the cage.

RW: Now Twilight’s using his brain in there.

Twilight is up and waiting for Mayer and Mayer is up and Twilight hits a head scissor takeover on Mayer sending Mayer into the corner. Twilight hits Mayer with some forearm shots. Twilight goes across the ring and then runs at and splashes Mayer in the corner. Mayer falls out the corner and Twilight climbs to the top rope quickly and comes off with a splash on Mayer.

Twilight climbs up to the rope again and when Mayer is up Twilight hits a missile dropkick, sending Mayer to the steel cage and through the ropes. Mayer stands up on the apron, between the ropes and cage, so Twilight runs off the ropes and hits suicide dive squashing Mayer against the cage. Twilight hops on the middle rope and starts slamming the back of Mayer’s head against the cage.

RW: A lot of frustration in Twilight coming out inside the steel cage.

Mayer is draped over the top rope, Twilight climbs to the top rope, and comes off with a leg drop driving Mayer’s neck across the top rope. Mayer falls down to the apron and rolls back under the bottom rope. Twilight covers.

JC: 1! … 2! …and Mayer with the kick out.

RW: This has been a good match.

Twilight is sitting on the top rope and when Mayer comes at him he kicks Mayer in the gut. Twilight grabs Mayer’s head and has him setup for Twilight Zone.

JC: If he hits the Twilight Zone, its all over.

Twilight jumps off but Mayer holds him up and starts walking backward and eventually driving Twilight face first into the steel cage.

RW: I know it was out of desperation but it was a smart move.

Twilight is bleeding and Mayer drapes an arm over him.

JC: 1! … 2! … 3 NOOOOOO!!! Damn that was close!

RW: Twilight has a lot of fight in him.

Just as Mayer is getting up the lights in the arena go out.

JC: What is this?!

RW: What happen to the lights?

As the lights are off you can here something going on in the ring.

JC: I wish I could see in the ring.

The lights are still off and you can hear bodies slamming against the steel cage.

RW: Somebody is getting there ass kicked in that ring.

JC: Is it Mayer or Twilight? I can’t see!

The lights stay off and there is no sound coming from the ring.

RW: It’s gotten quiet in there.

The lights come back on and we find both Twilight and Jared Mayer knocked out and bleeding in the center of the ring in the form of an X. The referee is knocked out as well.

JC: Mayer, Twilight, and even the ref have all been knocked out.

RW: Referee is lucky he isn’t bleeding too.

EMT’s and ringside personnel come out to ringside and begin to unsecure the cage and do so. The cage begins to raise and EMT’s rush in the ring.

JC: Who did that to them?

RW: The fact they are in the form of an X would say Dangerous X has struck.

JC: Those guys really are dangerous.

RW: I guess this match is being thrown out is what I’m being told from the back.

JC: That’s a shame, it was such a good match too.

RW: Well when we come back Ace has his first match in quite a while as he teams up with Big T to challenge for the Tag Team Titles.

Main Event

( Standard Tag - Tag Team Titles )

RW: Alright John hope your ready because it's time for the main event!

JC: I'm always ready for the main event Randy.

RW: Yeah, but this features a returning superstar from the past!

JC: And he's a good one.

RW: Whoo-hoo!

We cut to the center of the ring where ring announcer Amanda Summers is standing with a microphone up near her mouth. The crowd cheers as she waits a few moments then speaks.

Amanda Summers: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Tag Team Championships!

HERE WE ARE!!!.....BORN TO BE KINGS WITH THE PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE " Strobe lights flash throughout the arena. Gold Lights flash around the stage area as the beat drops from the song. Out from the curtain Reno Destiny emerges looking out towards the crowd and the ring pointing at himself.

Amanda Summers: Making his way to the ring first weighing in at 225 pounds, he is one half of the Tag Team Champions . . . RENO DESTINY!

He takes his time walking to the ring as gold lights flare throughout the arena. He gets to the ring apron and slides into the ring. He walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs slowly. He raises his Tag Team Championship belt in the air and the crowd swarms him with boos. Seconds later "Princes of the Universe" by Queen fades out as Reno tosses the Tag Team Championship belt over his shoulder and smirks.

JC: God I hate that guy.

The lights dim as we hear the ticking of a clock. Green strobes start going off around the entrance as three green search lights start to scan the crowd. We hear "Line in the Sand" by Moorhead start on the speakers as sparks start to rain down from the bottom of the SFT-tron, we see Rayn walk through the sparks and stand in front of them. He lifts the World Heavyweight Championship belt into the air above his head while the Tag Team Championship is strapped around his waste.

Amanda Summers: And his partner and other half of the Tag Team Champions as well as your World Heavyweight champion, weighing in at 230 pounds . . . RAYN!

Rayn lowers the belt and walks down to the ring. He climbs up the steps, and walks across an apron. He climbs up to the second turnbuckle, raising the title up above his head. He looks out at the crowd for a moment, before lowering the belt, and hopping into the ring. He walks over to the turnbuckle in the opposite corner of the ring, and climbs to the second turnbuckle, once again raising the title above his head. He drops to his feet on the ring mat and un-straps his Tag Team Championship and raises it in the air along with his World Heavyweight title in the other. Reno joins him as they hold their combined three championships into the air receiving a very hostile reaction from the crowd. "Line In The Sand" by Motorhead fades out as both men lower their championships then begin speaking with one another.

RW: These guys are good. Say what you want about them, but look they have three championship belts between them right now.

JC: Right now . . .

RW: Well, we'll see.

The lights begin to dim and then go out. Two quarters drop on a table on the Tron. "You Dont Know" by Eminem ft. 50 Cent, Cashis, and Lloyd Banks hits the PA system. Gold, silver, and green lights flash throughout the arena. A single red spotlight shines down at the top of the ramp and out from behind the curtain walks Big T.

Amanda Summers: And their opponent, weighing in at 255 pounds . . . BIG T!

He begins making his way down the ramp and the fans are cheering him so loud it’s deafening. But the crowd's reaction fazes him not. Big T walks up the stairs and enters the ring. Big T jumps up on the middle turnbuckle, yells out to the crowd, and takes in their love for him. "You Dont Know" fades off and the lights come back on as Big T steps off the rope and waits in the corner keeping his eyes on Reno and Rayn. They both hold up their championships again and smile as T looks on.

JC: God their asses. Haha.

RW: Yep. And you know what time it is now John. We know who’s coming out!

JC: Oh yeah!

The sound of a guitar rift echoes through the arena as the crowd goes silent. When the last note is heard, the lights go out. Within 10 seconds, red lights flicker in the arena as "Set It Off" by Audioslave blasts throughout the arena. As the song blares out, smoke arises from beneath the stage and fills the entrance. Within seconds, the entrance is filled with smoke and two red lights beam from behind the smoke leaving a shadow of a man. The crowd goes nuts as the man steps outside of the smoke and is revealed as Ace.

Amanda Summers: And Big T's partner making is in-ring return, weighing in at 220 pounds . . . ACE!

Ace stands on top of the stage looking towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. He then slides into the ring and climbs the nearest turnbuckle and taunts the crowd, as the crowd goes nuts again. He then jumps off and walks over to the opposite turnbuckle cutting in between Reno and Rayn and taunts the crowd. He gets back down and looks at Reno and Rayn before walking over to Big T. They embrace in a slight hug as the crowd cheers for them. Ace begins jumping up and down trying to loosen up.

RW: It is so nice to have Ace back in SFT.

JC: Back in the ring more importantly.

RW: Amen to that.

We cut back to the ring as Amanda Summers has already exited and we see Reno Destiny and Rayn handing their championships over to referee Charles White. He holds them all into the air, to no reaction from the crowd. Both teams go to their respective corners and decide who will start the match as the referee hands the titles through the ropes to Amanda Summers. Big T and Ace decide that Ace will start to the delight of the crowd and Reno and Rayn decide that Reno will start for them. Reno and Rayn bump fists as Rayn climbs through the ropes to the outside as does Big T. Referee Charles White brings both men closer to the middle then calls for the bell.

DING! DING! DING!

JC: And we are on our way!

RW: Curious to see how Ace fairs these first few moments back.

Reno Destiny wastes no time as he jolts forward with a kick to the gut of Ace. Ace holds his stomach as Reno follows up with a vicious right hand and then another backing Ace up to the ropes. He grabs him by the hand and arm and Irish whips him to the other side off the ropes. Reno charges at the running Ace and lays him out with a hard right clothesline. He takes a step back and begins laughing as he looks down at a panting laid out Ace. The crowd starts to boo heavily.

JC: Aw man tough start for Ace here.

RW: Reno's not impressed that's for sure.

Reno reaches down and grabs Ace by the hair and brings him up to his feet. He places his hand over the throat of Ace and cocks back with his other hand. He swings and Ace ducks underneath it and begins countering with strikes of his own. The crowd cheers as he punches Reno again and again. He takes a step back and flexes his body as the adrenaline kicks in. He finishes him off with a hard right clothesline of his own now sending Reno to the mat in a violent heap. Reno bounces back up and Ace knocks him down again and then again for a third time. Ace now reaches down and grabs Destiny by the hair and brings him to his feet. He whips him into the ropes and catches him on his way back with a high elevating back body drop. Reno crashes down and immediately places the back of his hand onto his lower back writhing in agony. Big T turns towards the crowd from his corner and raises his hands into the air clapping as the crowd eats it up. Ace now raises a fist into the air adding to the crowds response.

JC: Yeah this is the Ace we know!

RW: He's looking' good now.

Ace walks back towards Reno Destiny and brings him up again. He puts him into a headlock and brings him over to Big T and tags him in. Ace holds up one of Reno's arms exposing his ribs as Big T delivers a thunderous blow to the ribcage of Reno. Ace steps out between the ropes as Big T takes over officially. T brings him to the center of the ring and kicks him in the gut. He places Reno's head under his armpit and flips one of Reno's arms over the back of Big T's head. He pauses for a moment before lifting Reno straight up into the air and falling back with a vertical suplex. Big T pops right up to a sitting position then to his feet. He runs and bounces off the ropes and drops a hard right elbow to the sternum of Reno Destiny. He gets up again and bends over to pick Reno up. T Irish whips Destiny into the ropes nearest Rayn as Rayn slaps the back of Reno making himself the legal wrestler now. Big T snags Reno and flips him into a Tilt-A-Whirl backbreaker. Reno rolls out of the ring and drops to the mat area outside the ring lying motionless. Meanwhile Rayn darts into the ring and catches Big T off guard with a straight kick to the face.

JC: And here comes your World Heavyweight Champion ladies and gentlemen!

RW: He about damn near took Big T's head off!

Rayn starts walking around Big T while looking down at him thinking about what to do. Before we know it Big T staggers to his feet on his own. Rayn walks up to him and kicks him in the gut and drops him with a DDT.

JC: Big T has got to be at least half way concussed now!

Rayn scurries for a quick cover.

1 . . .

2 . . .

. . . Ace comes in out of nowhere and kicks Rayn at the back of the head to break up the count. Referee Charles White gets up and starts pointing Ace back to his corner. Rayn gets up and looks over at Ace for a moment with a smug smile. He then picks up Big T and starts delivering some solid left hands mixing in a toe kick here and there. Rayn picks him up and scoop slams him to the mat and follows up by stomping on him repeatedly. He breathes heavily after his assault and looks around the arena to acknowledge the smattering boos. He then walks over to the nearest turnbuckle and climbs it up to the top. He pauses ever so shortly before leaping off with an elbow. Just before impact Big T manages to roll out of the way sending Rayn into the canvas. The crowd cheers hoping to motivate Big T.

RW: Oh this could be a turning point!

Rayn squirms on his side while Big T lays semi motionless on his stomach. We now see Reno Destiny has climbed back up onto the ring apron as he extends his arm out, Ace does the same from his corner. Both Big T and Rayn begin crawling to the corners. Rayn looks up to see how close he is. Out of nowhere crawls quickly from his hands and knees and makes a quick tag to Reno. Big T now a couple feet away is extending his hand out to Ace. Reno enters the ring and sprints, but just before he reaches T he's able to tag in Ace. Reno stops in his tracks and holds up his hands as Ace now climbs into the ring. Ace isn't buying any of the mercy pleas though as he strikes Reno in the face. He does it again until they've backed up close to the middle of the ring. Reno suddenly takes a shot, but Ace ducks as they both spin around and Ace springs the "Blackjack" on Reno Destiny! He sits up and looks over at Reno, but before he can make a cover Rayn runs back into the ring and starts stomping on Ace. He picks him up and looks as if he's setting him up for "The Acid Drop" until Big T races towards him and knocks him down and starts pounding away on him. Rayn is able to flip Big T over, now he's pounding away!

JC: All hell has broken loose!

RW: All four men are in the ring.

Charles White tries desperately to separate the two. Before we know it they both roll out of the ring on top of one another. They both stand up and Big T takes a large swing, but Rayn ducks underneath it. Both men turn around and coincidentally they lay each other out with tremendous clotheslines.

JC: Uh oh both Big T and Rayn have laid each other out on the outside of the ring!

Back in the ring we now see Ace leaning over to pick up Reno Destiny. Reno barely conscious as this has not been a pleasant night for him thus far. Ace grabs Reno by the face and brings him close. He says something we cannot make out then he grabs his legs and trips him to his back. He folds one under the other and flips over to his stomach.

RW: He's locked in "Reality!"

JC: He's gonna tap! He's gonna tap!

Ace drags Reno to the center and really lays in on the "Reality" hold. Reno screams in extreme distress. Ace yells at Reno to "Tap!" Reno's right hand slowly starts to rise above the mat.

JC: He's gonna tap!

When suddenly . . . we start to see a bit of rustling in one section of the crowd. A number of people quickly starting to part ways to form an opening as we then see Radiant walking quickly through the crowd then hop over the guard rail.

RW: Radiant? What's he doing here?

JC: I don't know Randy.

The crowd now deafening throughout the arena as Radiant walks around the ring and heads over to the announcement table area. He grabs one of the ring attendants and throws him off to the side.

RW: Hey what was that for?!

Radiant bends down and picks up a chair and folds it closed. He looks into the ring, but still with no expression whatsoever. He slowly walks near the ring apron and quietly slides in. Referee Charles White does nothing, but warns him as he's somewhat intimidated.

JC: What's he thinking?

Meanwhile Ace continues to drive Reno closer and closer to tapping out when suddenly . . . SMASH! Radiant swings and smacks Ace in the back of the head with the chair knocking him forward to his chest, out cold. The referee calls for the bell immediately then starts barking at Radiant. Radiant drops the chair softly onto the mat and looks down at the unconscious Ace. Just then, he smiles.

RW: What the hell! Why the hell did Radiant do that?!

JC: What's wrong with him!

The crowd pain stakingly loud with boos. A couple cups and balled up pieces of paper thrown into the ring towards Radiant after his despicable act. Radiant begins laughing as he drops to his knees and slides on his stomach backwards out of the ring. He stands on the outside of the ring and just stands there looking at Ace who finally rolls over to his back leans up onto one elbow holding the back of his head. He looks at Radiant with a puzzled look. Radiant starts to back away and head towards the entrance ramp. Ace gathers himself the best that he can as he gingerly rolls out of the ring and starts walking after Radiant. Radiant turns around and walks backwards up the ramp as Ace follows far behind slowly. Ace grimacing with each step. He cannot believe what took place. Radiant reaches the main stage and turns around and quickens his pace as he disappears into the curtains. Ace sprints as fast he can though still slow and follows him to the backstage area until he too disappears.

RW: This is nuts!

Amanda Summers: Winners of this match... "The Icon" "The Legend" Big T and "The Wildcard" Ace!! Still your tag team champions... Rayn and Reno Destiny!!

Winner: Big T and Ace

Ending

Big T is out on the floor gathering himself after wrestling in two tag matches in one night. Rayn and Reno Destiny are in the ring with there tag team titles. Just then Guyver and Dameon come from the crowd, slide in the ring, and start attacking Rayn and Reno.

RW: Dangerous X is in the house!

Dameon pairs off with Reno and Guyver pairs off with Rayn. Dameon and Guyver are hitting Reno and Rayn with punches and kicks. Big T comes in the ring with a steel chair and blasts Reno and then blasts Rayn, both in the back.

JC: Chair shots for the tag team champions from the #1 contender to the World Title.

Big T drops the chair and you see him instruct Guyver and Dameon.

RW: Always a ring general is Big T.

Guyver and Dameon grab Reno and drag him to the edge of the ring and pull him out, letting him fall hard to the floor. Big T hops out of the ring and goes over to the commentators table. He looks under the table and pulls out 4 pairs of shackles. Big T then grabs the World Title and brings all items in the ring.

JC: Where did those come from, Randy?

RW: Don’t ask me, I have no idea!

Dameon and Guyver bring Reno to his feet and drag him up the ramp by his arms. Meanwhile the steel cage from the Twilight and Jared Mayer match begins to lower.

JC: This is getting bad for our World Champion.

Big T is in the ring and drops the shackles and World Title in the center of the ring. Rayn is getting up and when he does Big T blasts him in the chin with Game Over. Up at the top of the ramp Dameon and Guyver turn around so Reno can see the ring and then drop him on the steel ramp. Guyver grabs Reno’s legs and locks on Alert Cloverleaf and then Dameon locks on Fragile X also on Reno.

RW: Reno is in two different submission moves right now and looks to be in a lot of pain.

Reno is screaming out in pain. The steel cage is completely lowered and Big T drags Rayn to one of the sides of the cage. Big T then props Rayn up against the ropes and grabs two pairs of shackles. Big T shackles Rayn’s left wrist and then his right wrist to the steel cage. Big T then shackles Rayn’s left ankle and right ankle to the steel cage as well.

JC: Big T has Rayn shackled and spread out on that cage.

Big T slaps Rayn and Rayn comes too. Rayn looks around and then notices he is shackled to the cage from all limbs. He then looks at Big T and stares at him while Big T picks up the World Heavyweight Title. Big T gets right up in Rayn’s face with the World title and you can see Big T talking smack. Big T then drops the belt and starts laying in haymakers on Rayn, one after another after another after another!

RW: Big T is taking Rayn to the wood shed here tonight.

Dameon and Guyver finally release Reno since he passed out from the pain. Big T is still pounding away on a defenseless Rayn. Big T finally stops after hitting Rayn seemingly a hundred times. Big T picks the World Title up and if you read his lips he says “as a world champion you should be close to your title” and then Big T hits Rayn in the head with the belt.

JC: Title belt to the head will knock out anybody.

RW: He’s going to hit’em again!

Big T runs toward the opposite ropes, bounces off, runs at Rayn, and almost takes off his head with a second title belt shot to the head. Big T grabs Rayn by the hair and starts smashing the back of Rayn’s head against the steel cage. Dameon walks down the ramp, around the ring, picks up a steel chair, and tosses it over the top of the cage and into the ring.

JC: Another chair?

Big T picks up the second chair, lifts it above his head, and comes down smashing it over Rayn’s head. The chair stays on Rayn’s head and is covering his face.

RW: That was a brutal chair shot!

Big T picks up the World Title, walks to a corner, and begins to climb. Big T is standing on the top rope and then scales to the top of the cage, still with the World Title. Big T gets to the top and sits himself comfortably. Big T holds up the World Heavyweight Title and points at Rayn, whom even though his face is covered by the chair you can see blood starting to drip down his chest.

JC: Big T has just sent a very physical and violent message to the champion.

RW: In just over a week, Big T will challenge Rayn for the SFT World Heavyweight Championship at the pay per view.

JC: Yes, but will Rayn make it for that match?

RW: Good question, John. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. For John Cartwright, I’m Randy White, saying good night and see you at INSERT PPV NAME HERE!!

Inferno goes off the air with Big T holding the World Title with the Tron in the background with Rayn’s no longer covered by the chair bloody face…
