Both men are in the ring as the bell rings. Snow Mann starts it off with a quick clothesline but before the match even heats up, the man in the blood red robe comes running down and gets in the ring. He hits Snow Mann in the midsection then DDT’s him. He quickly turns around and hits Bone Breaker with a Spine Buster!

Phil: Who the hell is this guy?

The man in the robe continues his assualt on Bone Breaker, finally things settle down and the ring is cleared and only the man remains.

The man has a mic and says “I guess you’re wondering, just who I am? Well lets just say I am a blast from the past, come back to do his hauting.”

The man takes off the robe to reveal...

Steve: “Its Fox! All this time it was Fox, Fox has come back to SFT!”

Phil: “Oh hell yes, Fox is back !”

Fox stands there for a moment taking in the crowd response which is mixed, but most cheer, he stands there for a moment and then walks away.

Steve: This is big for SFT, and I think things are gonna get way more interesting.

That Damn Good starts up and out comes Deadly Game Tony Barrera, he slowly walks down to the ring as the crowd response is incredible. He gets in the ring and poses there for a moment as the cameras flicker like crazy. Everyone trying to get a picture of Tony Barrera.

Cocky by Kid Rock hits and the SFT Television Champion stands at the rampway as again the cameras go wild. He pauses there for a second just smiling down at Tony. He soon begins to make his way down to the ring. But before he can get in the ring, Tony flies across the ring jumps out and nails Apocalypse with a flying summersault.

JC: Oh my, did you see that!?

The bell rings and Tony Barrera quickly rolls Apocalypse into the ring, he does a cradled suplex and the ref counts 1.2.kickout by Apocalypse. Apocalypse looks angry now as he gets up and hits Tony with several foreams and then nails him with a bulldog. Apocalypse sets up Tony and hits a shoulder block then follows it by a brain buster!

RW: Ow, thats gonna hurt tommorrow.

Apocalypse tries a Russian Leg Sweep but Tony counters it with a reverse Russian Leg Sweep. But it takes alot out of both men.

JC: I think Tony just took out both of them with that move.

Now both men slowly get up. Tony grabs Apocalypse and hits a suplex. He then tries a powerbomb but Apocalypse trips him up, they get tangled and both hit the corner hard. Apoc with a weak cover 1..2.kickout by Tony. Apoc tries a neckbreaker but Tony reverses it and Apoc is down.

RW: What a match!

Tony tries a cover but only gets a 1 count. Both men are now totally worn out. Neither can do much to stand. Tony and Apocalypse both on their feet. Tony goes for a roll over pin, but Apoc counters it into a small package, grabing alot of tights. The ref doesnt see the infraction and counts 1.2.3!

JC: Apocalypse keeps the title! Not a bad way to keep the night moving, lets see whose next on the card.

THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH, Apocalypse by Pinfall!

JC: Next up our Intercontinental Champion is set to take on Iceman in what should be an exciting, fast paced ladder match!

RW: When that ladder gets brought to the ring you know someone's gonna get hurt John!

JC: Definitely!

RW: Here comes the first competitor!

The lights in the arena dim, and "Supernova Goes Pop" hits the speakers as the lights begin to flash blue. The fans begin to cheer as Iceman steps out from the back with his arms raised. He flexes to impress some lady fans in the front row, then he climbs the steel steps and gets in the ring.

JC: Iceman looks like he's in the best shape of his life tonight!

RW: This match will be a great one, no doubt in my mind.

Iceman waits in the middle of the ring, occasionally glancing up at the IC title belt that hangs above the ring. "In The End" hits the speakers, and SwitchBlade appears on stage to another pop from the crowd. He to raises his arms as the fans cheer. SwitchBlade pauses at the top of the ramp and looks down at Iceman in the ring. SwitchBlade then looks above the ring at his Intercontinental title that hangs above. SwitchBlade nods, points to his title, then books it down the ramp and slides into the ring. The bell sounds as he does, and he gets up to exchange blows with Iceman.

JC: And here we go!

Iceman and SwitchBlade exchange left and right hands, with SwitchBlade taking control. He slugs Iceman across the face a few times, then Irish whips him to the ropes. SwitchBlade takes him down with a clothesline, then waits for him to get back up. As he does, SwitchBlade throws a kick to the mid section, followed by a spin kick to the upper body that takes Iceman back down to the mat. SwitchBlade then picks Iceman back up off the mat and pulls him in to a snap suplex. SwitchBlade quickly rolls out of the ring, and walks half way back up the ramp, where a ladder was just placed by a crew member. SwitchBlade hits the joint in the middle to fold the ladder, then he lifts it up and begins to make his way back towards the ring.

RW: SwitchBlade is going after the ladder early on here!

Iceman staggers to his feet on the inside, and sees SwitchBlade approaching the ring carrying the ladder horizontally in front of him. Iceman bounces off the opposite of SwitchBlade, then baseball slides under the ropes SwitchBlade stands in front of, kicking the ladder into SwitchBlade and sending him to the mat.

JC: What a move by Iceman!

Iceman rolls the ladder off of SwitchBlade, and begins to stomp away on his midsection. After he knocks the wind out of Switch, he grabs the ladder himself, and lifts it vertically into the air. He then uses all off his strength to bring the ladder crashing down on the abdomen of SwitchBlade. The crowd lets out a huge gasp, feeling SwitchBlade's pain. Iceman lifts the ladder up again, this tiem bringing it down on SwitchBlade's rib cage. The crowd lets out another gasp, and Iceman throws the ladder down, making a huge noise.

RW: Iceman really took SwitchBlade out there!

Iceman grabs SwitchBlade by the head and lifts him to his feet. He throws an elbow to his face, then drags him towards the ring and rolls him in. Iceman rolls in as well and goes right back to work on SwitchBlade. He throws more boots to the rib cage he already injured. SwitchBlade scrambles to his feet and Iceman goes to whip him into the corner. SwitchBlade counters, and pulls Iceman right into a knee to the gut, sending him head over heels to the mat. SwitchBlade leans on his own knees trying to regather himself.

JC: SwitchBlade better get right back to work.

Iceman uses the ropes to pull himself up, and he charges SwitchBlade. SwitchBlade is ready for him and trips him up with a drop toe hold. SwitchBlade then signals for his trademark, "Entering the Darkside"

RW: Oh no! This early in the match up?!?

JC: I don't know Randy, Iceman is fighting this with all he can!

SwitchBlade rolls Iceman over and spreads his legs apart. SwitchBlade stick his leg in between Iceman's, then crosses Iceman's over. SwitchBlade reaches for Iceman's head, but Iceman Rolls over and stands to his feet, now holding SwitchBlade in the same position that Iceman was in previously!

RW: What a counter! What a counter right into Iceman's "Icing it Down"!

JC: Wow! That could put SwitchBlade out right here!

Iceman locks in his submission move and SwitchBlade writhes in pain. SwitchBlade tries to fight his way to the ropes, but Iceman keeps dragging him away. SwitchBlade digs down deep, and uses every once of strength in his legs to spin out of the hold. Iceman is sent flipping to the mat, and both men are down.

RW: SwitchBlade really saved himself there, along with his IC title.

SwitchBlade begins to crawl around, and he reaches the end of the ring that faces the ramp. He allows himself to fall out, and he lands on his hands. He pushes himself up and staggers over to the ladder that he left there earlier. He grabs the ladder and slides it into the ring. On the other side, Iceman has crawled out, and he's now searching for something under the ring apron. He grabs a ladder of his own, a match taller one, and slides it into the ring. SwitchBlade is now setting up his ladder, as Iceman continues to search under the ring. Iceman pulls out yet another ladder, one the same size as SwitchBlade's.

JC: Uh-oh. One ladder was dangerous enough Randy, but three?!?

RW: This can't be good for somebody…

SwitchBlade has his ladder set up now, and he realizes that Iceman has been busy. Iceman has stepped onto the ring apron and was about to step through the ropes. SwitchBlade grabs him by the head and flips him into the ring, right on top of a ladder. Iceman's back slams into the rungs, and SwitchBlade begins to take control. He stomps on Iceman a few times, making sure he stays on the ladder. SwitchBlade grabs the ladder he set up, the one that's the same size as the one Iceman is on. SwitchBlade folds up the ladder and carrys it with him to the corner. SwitchBlade climbs to the second rope, while holding the top of the ladder. He then allows himself to fall from the second turnbuckle, while holding the ladder. It comes crashing down on top of Iceman's body, parallel to the ladder beneath him.

RW: Oh my God!

JC: Iceman sandwich!

The crowd roars as SwitchBlade picks up the third, taller ladder and sets that up. He steps on the bottom rung, and slowly makes his journey to the top. By the time he reaches the third rung, Iceman has begun to stir. He flips the ladder on top of him off and rolls off the bottom ladder. He begins to stagger around and sees Switch on the fifth rung of the ladder. Switch has two rungs to go before he can easily grab the belt. Iceman bounces off the ropes to get momentum, and he flings himself into the ladder. It comes crasing down, sending SwitchBlade flying into the ropes, then back down to the mat. The ladder flings back and hits Iceman in the face, knocking him down as well.

RW: Wow, what a great much it's been so far.

JC: How much more could either of these guys take Randy?

RW: Not much John, not much.

Both men begin to stagger to their feet after being down about two minutes. They meet in the center of the ring, and Iceman plants a boot to SwithBlade's gut. He then grabs him in a double hunderhook position, and flips him into a powerbomb. Iceman walks away from SwitchBlade now and grabs one of the smaller ladders. He sets it up on the middle of the ring, and begins the journey himself. As he reaches the second rung, SwitchBlade snaps to life, and pulls himself up. He grabs the other ladder that's the same size, and sets it up next to Iceman's.

RW: We may see an aerial battle here!

SwitchBlade climbs as quickly as he can to meet Iceman at the same height he's at. Iceman sees him coming, and grabs a hand full of his hair. He slams Switch face first off the top of the ladder. Switch doesn't fall, so Iceman does it again. Switch still doesn't fall, so Iceman raises his arm, and calls for the "Icepick".

JC: He can't be serious….

RW: He wouldn't!

JC: I think he would!

Iceman throws his foot in the air, but SwitchBlade catches it and pushes him back! Iceman goes flying backwards, while holding on to his ladder. He hits the top rope, while still holding on, and comes springing back up towards SwitchBlade! He hits SwitchBlades ladder, causing it to fall… only for SwitchBlade's ladder to do the same thing! Iceman isn't expecting it this time, and he falls off of his ladder. His ladder continues to bounce though, and hits SwitchBlade again, causing him to fall off his ladder and both ladders collapse.

RW: What the hell was all that about?

JC: That certainly was interesting to say the least, Iceman and SwitchBlade were human ping-pong balls for a second there, and the ladders were the paddles!

SwitchBlade some how manages to get to his feet first, and he makes his way over to Iceman. He calls for the end, and screams "enough is enough damn it!". He grabs Iceman by the hair and lifts him up quickly. He launches him into the corner, and throws a few boots to his gut. SwitchBlade then turns away from Iceman, and kicks both small ladders out of the ring. He grabs the big ladder next, and sets it up close to the center of the ring, but somewhat close to the turnbuckle he has Iceman in. SwitchBlade walks back over to Iceman now, and props him up on the top turnbuckle. He grabs Iceman by the head and palces his head under his arm. He calls for the tope rope DDT, and jumps off. Iceman grabs his torso at the last second, and uses his own momentum to toss him face first onto the mat. SwitchBlade quickly gets up but he grabs his face in shock.

RW: Beautiful counter!
Iceman is still on the second rope, and he quickly climbs to the top. He looks at the tall ladder, standing a few feet away. He looks around at the crowd, then dives in the direction of the ladder! He grabs on, and the ladder begins to fall. As it does, he jumps straight into the air and snatches the Intercontinental Belt!

JC: It's over!

RW: No, not yet! The belt didn't budge!

Iceman hangs above the ring, holding onto the belt for dear life. SwitchBlade, still staggering, tries to jump and grab on to Iceman's feet. He manages to grab his right foot, and SwitchBlade hangs on for dear life. He begins to try and pull Iceman down, but Iceman has a firm grip on the belt. He reaches behind the gold plate, and begins to unbutton the snaps on the leather, one row at a time.

JC: iceman almost has it….

RW: Can he do it….

Snap! The belt slips from the support, and Iceman comes falling down to the ring, awkwardly on top of SwitchBlade.

JC: Yes he can! Iceman has the belt!

RW: SwitchBlade was so close, but Iceman has done it!

JC: What an amazing match, it could have gone either way, but today was Iceman's day!

The bell sounds, and Iceman can't even make it to his feet as the ref raises his arms. "Supernova goes Pop" plays over the speakers.

THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH, Iceman by Climbing the Ladder and Retrieving the Belt!

Iceman helps Switchblade up. Iceman sets up a ladder. Iceman climbs one side and Switchblade climbs the other side. They go up to the to of the ladder. They raise there hands high in the air, showing unity. Iceman is tossed a mic.

Iceman: Though we have fought, The Immortal Outlawz still live, Shadow. You can have your unholy alliance with Dangerous X, but we're still here.

The scene fades to a commcerial for some SFT merchandise.

The voice says.... "X-Is Coming! X-Is Here!" The beat starts up. And finally "Welcome to Atlanta" by JD and Ludacris hits!! The red X pyro shoots off as the "Playa" President Anthony Jesus emerges from behind the pyro. The crowd immediately boos him. Infact, thats all you can hear are boos.

JC: I dont think the fans like Dangerous X aligning with the Dead Pac.

RW: Its all to destroy the Immortal Outlawz.

President Jesus sits at the announce table. He puts on a headset.
