::Atonement Opening::

A video intro is played on the StrikeTron. A recap of the Dark Wolf/Reno feud is played followed by a recap of The ICON/Dameon feud. The Atonement logo closes the video and the camera cuts to inside the arena where a huge pyro display erupts. The crowd goes crazy as RW and JC introduce everyone to the show.

RW: Ladies and Gentlemen, WELCOME TO ATONEMENT!

JC: Tonight looks to be a historical night here in Strike Fantasy Towers history.

RW: And if tonight’s pay-per-view is anything like the last two, we’re in for a huge night!

JC: Two months ago we saw the return of The ICON.

RW: Last month, The ICON and Dave Van Dam were named Co-Owners of Strike Fantasy Towers.

JC: And tonight, anything can happen. We’ve got an open invitation battle royal for anyone looking to return and get a shot at the World Title!

RW: All titles are on the line as well!

JC: Dark Wolf and Reno FINALLY get to settle their differences once and for all in a ladder match for the US Title.

RW: And what’s gonna happen for Dameon tonight? Not only does he have to defend his title against the seven plus footer in Lion, but The ICON is also special guest referee.

JC: And those two have had their share of problems with each other the last few weeks. We’ll see if things boil over tonight. The odds are definitely not in Dameon’s favor.

Blue Spotlights flicker throughout the arena and BANG! "CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES..." Individual pyro blasts lining the left and right side of the entranceway explodes as a domino effect from the bottom of the ramp to the top, which leads to a massive pyro explosion at the top of the set. "...THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!" The ICON and Dave Van Dam emerge from behind the curtain and stand atop the stage. They get a mixed reaction from the crowd. ICON and DVD make their way down the ramp and into the ring.

RW: Looks like Atonement is gonna start off with our Co-Owners.

JC: They love the spotlight, don’t they?

The ICON takes a microphone. The crowd boos him. He stands there and smiles.

The ICON: Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate the warm reception.

The crowd boos louder.

The ICON: Tonight will be a historic night for the SFT. Atonement is the name of the pay-per-view and correctly named. Tonight, we will atone for our past sins. Tonight, we will reopen the doors of the SFT to anyone and everyone. Tonight, we will put past transgressions aside and open the doors to a new era. A new regime has taken control. And we are hell bent on changing the culture.

Dave Van Dam: Tonight, Strike Fantasy Towers turns over a new leaf. The dark days that have haunted this company are going to give way to a new dawn. Tonight is our genesis. Tonight is our new beginning. We are back to make a name for this company once again. Tonight is our first pay-per-view since becoming owners of SFT and we will make our mark. When we look back on this date years from now, it will be known that this is where everything changed. We will get ourselves back to glory. We will once again be the number one federation! And it will be known that it all happened because The ICON and Dave Van Dam saved us! You can boo us all you want now, but know that we are doing what’s best for this company, whether you all like it or not.

The ICON: Change is what people have been asking for now for years, and change is what you’ve got! We will do what the people before us couldn’t. Why? Because we know how to get it done. We will succeed. I guaren-damn-tee it.

With that, the crowd reacts with more cheers than boos. The ICON and DVD make their way back up the ramp.

RW: Wow, what a statement made here tonight.

JC: I think I have goosebumps.

RW: I think you’re gay.

JC: Even if you don’t like The ICON and DVD, there’s no doubting that they are on a mission for the betterment of SFT. And for that, you have to respect them.

RW: Alright, our first match up is about to get underway. Has anyone decided to accept the open invitation? Let’s find out…NEXT!

Average Mike, Jobber Joe, Jack Jones, St. Jude, Xaokiin and Cheeky Joe all stand their ground in the SFT ring surrounded by tables, chairs, other objects of brutality and of course…ladders galore! They take a moment to observe their surroundings and get a feel for the arsenal they have at their disposal.

RW: Look at it, can you smell the intensity?

JC: I certainly smell something that's just a little bit off!

RW: Ah…must've been those 8 bean burritos I had an hour ago.

JC: God help you…

The bell rings and we are off. Each man goes after their nearest opposition. Cheeky Joe grabs Average Mike and the two begin trading punches. Average Mike and St. Jude lock up and begin struggling.

Jack Jones picks him up by the hair though and they resume trying to kill each other.

RW: What a chaotic start to this match, there are people fighting all over the place!!!

JC: And we still have that briefcase with the contract to face the World Champion hanging 20 feet above the ring.

RW: Shouldn't that be a question?

JC: What are you talking about?

RW: Well, you simply said, "who will be the next SFT world Champion!!!!" when it should've been, Who will be the next SFT World Champion???? Or at the very least "!?!?!?!"

JC: Shut UP Randy, Jesus…

RW: Walks! (starts rapping)

Cheeky Joe and Job joe are battling it out on the outside of the ring. Cheeky Joe grabs Job joe's head and slams it against the guard rail. Job joe looks at him, grabs his head and bashes Cheeky Joe's head against the guard rail. Cheeky Joe looks up angrily at Job joe and slams his head against the rail again, this time with much more force. Job joe is a little dazed but still looks up, he grabs Cheeky Joe and slams HIS head against the guardrail. Cheeky Joe gets up equally dazed as they both rub their heads. Cheeky Joe then grabs Job joe and with a small jump, obliterates Job joe's head into the guard rail. Job joe collapses to his knees, but begins to slowly rise to his feet. He rises and grabs Cheeky Joe's head. With a large grunt and a jump, Job joe bashes Cheeky Joe's head into the guard rail with sickening impact, sending Cheeky Joe to his knees. The two competitors stand up face to face, barely able to stand at the moment and start swinging at each other some more. Mike thrusts his hips up and throws Jude off of him. Mike rolls quickly to his feet and meets the on coming St. Jude with a clothesline. The two get up and St. Jude instantly spears Average Mike through the ropes. The two fall to the floor next to the announce table. St. Jude picks up Average Mike and Irish whips him into the stairs with a clang. He goes looks at the weapons scattered about and sees a steel chair. He picks it up and with a running start, charges Average Mike looking for decapitation. St. Jude swings but hits nothing but steel, killing his hands. Average Mike dives out of the way of the chair, gets up and kicks St. Jude in the gut. He takes St. Jude by his head and DDTs him onto the steel chair.

JC: Jude's getting up and is covered in blood!

RW: Wow that looks deep!!!!! Ouch Much!

JC: The first one to wear the crimson mask in the match, but I have a feeling he won't be the last!

Xaokiin takes Jack Jones and whips him into the ropes. Jack Jones comes bounding back looking for a clothesline, Xaokiin ducks and Jack Jones bounces off the ropes again. Xaokiin picks him up into a gorilla press and converts into a Diamond Cutter, slamming Jack Jones's face onto the mat. Xaokiin picks Jack Jones up and sends him into the corner. He quickly follows and starts laying in the boots to Jack Jones's stomach, sending him slowly down the turnbuckle onto his ass. Job joe punches Cheeky Joe, sending him staggering back near the steps in the corner. Job joe runs after him but Cheeky Joe senses it, ducks and flips Job joe over the steps onto the floor. Cheeky Joe looks around and finds a table against the guard rail. He picks it up and sets it up on the floor next to him. He walks over and picks up Job joe by the hair and walks him to the table. He takes Job joe's head and slams it against the table before rolling him on top of it. Cheeky Joe looks around sees a ladder. He grabs the ladder and drags it into the ring. Xaokiin and Jack Jones are battling it out when all of sudden they are both taken out by aman charging at them with a ladder. Cheeky Joe uses the width of it to bash the two several times on the ground before setting it up near the side of the table and Job joe. Cheeky Joe looks down and is annoyed as he sees that Job joe is nowhere to be seen. He looks around and begins wandering around the ring, looking for Joe.

RW: Where IS Job joe? I didn't see him leave and we would've seen him walk out of the arena for sure!

JC: Oh my god RW, I see him…is that a…?

RW: YES! IT IS!!!

Job joe creeps out from under the ring behind where Cheeky Joe is looking. He taunts the crowd a little as he pulls out from under the ring, cord first a TV much to the pleasure of the crowd. He calls over Cheeky Joe and taunts him a little. Cheeky Joe angrily goes towards him but is caught tremendously off guard as the decent sized TV is launched into the air and smacks him right in the head. Job joe runs into the ring and punches Cheeky Joe a couple of times finishing him off. He drags the TV into the middle of the ring and sets it up. He stands up and goes for Joe. Xaokiin gets up from his daze and knocks the ladder off from under him. Xaokiin looks at Job joe with his back turned and runs towards him, he leaps in the air and connects with a bulldog that sends Job joe face first into the TV. Xaokinn looks around and grabs the ladder and sets it up in the middle of the ring. Looking around he sees no one around to stop him. He begins his ascent to the top.

JC: Xaokiin could win the title opportunity right now! That quick! There's no one around to stop him!

RW: This may be it…but that would be SO disappointing…

JC: Why's that!?

RW: Well…we're only into like the 3rd page…

JC: Shut up.

Mike looks up and sees Xaokiin going up there and runs into the ring. He begins climbing the opposite side of the ladder. The two race up to the top but start trading punches.

RW: This is always a dangerous situation. That ladder just isn't very stable and who knows what else will happen!

JC: Like…St. Jude coming in!!! Look!

A bloodied St. Jude enters the ring and see the fighting at the top. He runs towards it and pushes the ladder. The two fall off the ladder and get crotched onto the ropes! The both bounce off though and are sent flying over onto the table below, smashing it to smithereens. St. Jude sets the ladder back up in the middle of the ring and tries to climb it but Jack Jones has other ideas as he turns St. Jude around and hits him with stiff haymaker. He hits him with a couple more, sending him into the corner. Jack Jones goes back to the ladder, collapses it and puts in the opposite corner. Cheeky Joe gets up slowly from the TV smashing in his face induced daze to see Jack Jones whipping St. Jude into the ladder in the corner, complete with upside down impact. The ladder falls on top of St. Jude who doesn't move very much from underneath. Cheeky Joe gets to his feet and superkicks Jack Jones. He picks him up and drags him over to the ladder. He grabs his head and sends him over in a suplex right onto the ladder.

JC: Cheeky Joe just sent Jack Jones into a ladder, ON TOP of Connor!

RW: Two birds with one ladder!!

JC: Cute…

RW: Thanks, I try.

Cheeky Joe rolls Jack Jones off of the ladder and smashes St. Jude with it, he takes it and smashes Jack Jones with it as well before walking to the middle of the ring and setting up the ladder there. Cheeky Joe begins to climb it in the middle of the ring and looks to have no distractions to prevent him from getting the title.

JC: Now Cheeky Joe is up and trying to get the briefcase!

RW: He may be going too slow, I think I see Job joe shifting around in his TV there.

Job joe indeed sticks his head out of his TV, his face busted open because of the glass. Job joe stands up and kicks his broken TV out of the ring. He sees Cheeky Joe climbing the ladder and looks around for something to do. He runs over to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle. He goes to the top and stands up.

RW: Job joe looks like he might be doing something crazy here!

JC: When doesn't he look like he might be doing something crazy!?

RW: I dunno! So lets just assume he's going to do something crazy!!!

JC: It doesn't look like he will though, with Xaokiin winding up with a steel chair and all.

Xaokiin, back from the table, has a steel chair in hand, winds up and hits Job joe squarely in the back, making him tumble to the mat with a thud. Christian then replaces him at the top turnbuckle and dives off as high as he can. He catches Cheeky Joe completely off guard with a tremendous top rope spear off the ladder and slams Cheeky Joe hard onto the ground. The impact takes a lot out of both of them and they both end up on their backs catching their breath. Average Mike gets up outside of the ring and grabs a ladder and tosses it into the ring. Average Mike gets into the ring and sets the ladder up near the side, adjacent to the ladder already erected. He looks up at the title just then and goes for to climb the ladder under it. Job joe gets up from the chair shot to the back and attacks Average Mike from behind. Job joe grabs Average Mike's head and bangs it against a rung, then the rung below it, then the rung below it and so forth to the bottom rung of the ladder.

RW: His bell was…rung!!!

JC: If I get you a gun, will you shoot yourself, please?

RW: Since you asked nicely…NOT.

Job joe picks Average Mike and sets him up in a bulldog. He runs up the rungs, leaps off them, twists, bounces off the ropes and twists some more, but Average Mike counters the acrobatics and sends him over the top with a belly to back suplex that plants Job joe right on the back of his neck. Average Mike picks up Job joe and tosses him into the ropes. Job joe comes bouncing back and is hit with a missile dropkick that sends him flying over the ropes. Average Mike goes after him and as he bends down to get to him, Job joe swings at him and absolutely destroys Average Mike with a shot to the head with a steel chair he found on the outside. Average Mike collapses in a heap. Job joe looks at the now immensely dented chair and tosses it aside. He goes back into the ring and picks up Average Mike. He puts Average Mike's head between his legs and lifts him up for a powerbomb. Average Mike holds his head though and throws a flurry of punches. It staggers Job joe and they fall towards the ladder. Average Mike hooks his legs around Job joe's neck and grabs onto the ladder. He positions him against the ropes and launches himself into a 180 and hurricanrana's Job joe over the ropes onto the mat! St. Jude gets up from the corner and sees the two rising to their feet. He bounds off the ropes and suicide dives the two of them through the ropes and the three tumble to the ground below. Mike gets up first and sees this. He climbs up a turnbuckle just as the three are getting up and he leaps off into a splash and all four go tumbling to the ground. Cheeky Joe is up and sees the wreckage. He runs to a turnbuckle and leaps off into a splash…all five of them tumble to the ground. Jack Jones is left alone in the ring…He looks up at the ladder under the briefcase and he climbs quickly to the top of it. His hands are basically touching the briefcase.

JC: Jack Jones is gonna win it right here! The rest of them literally tossed themselves out of the match!

RW: What the hell is he doing!? He can win the title right here!

Jack Jones looks at the briefcase and then looks at the five men below, all slowly gathering to their feet. He looks around and shouts "look out below" He taunts the crowd and then takes a tremendous leap off the top of the ladder, over the other ladder, over the ropes and into the crowd of wrestlers. A giant SFT chant starts in the crowd and lasts while the competitors rise to their feet.

JC: THAT is what SFT is all about Randy! THAT RIGHT THERE!

RW: He just gave up the briefcase for…a big leap!!!

JC: INTO OTHER PEOPLE!!!

RW: Touche…

The six of them all begin to brawl all over the place, splitting up into different sections of the ring. St. Jude picks up a steel chair and whacks Xaokiin with it, denting it to unusable fashion. He tosses it aside. Cheeky Joe looks around and finds a chair of his own, he uses it to bash Job joe Smith and dents it incredibly. St. Jude looks around and finds another chair, he picks it up and finds Average Mike, he turns him around and obliterates him, and tosses the destroyed chair aside like he does it for a living. Cheeky Joe finds a chair for himself and finds someone to whack it with, this time its Jack Jones. He tosses it aside completely unusable as well. From the other side of the ring he catches St. Jude in his sights. St. Jude catches his eye as well. They look frantically for a chair to use, but find nothing.

RW: All the chairs in the ringside area are dented and unusable!

JC: What's a wrestler to do?

RW: Ask the crowd!

St. Jude looks around and turns to the crowd. "SOMEONE GIVE ME A CHAIR!!!!" Suddenly the entire front section of the seats are flying into the air. St. Jude ducks as dozens of chairs are launched into the ring. Cheeky Joe looks to see whats going on, he then calls to the crowd on his side and the entire front section of the SFT Arena has thrown their chairs into the ring.

JC: Holy shit! Look at all those…CHAIRS!!!

RW: I've never seen anything like this! I swear!

JC: It's so extreme!!!!

The barrage of chairs stops finally and St. Jude grabs one and runs into the middle of the ring where Cheeky Joe meets him there. They knock the ladder out of the way and start swinging. St. Jude dodges a chair shot and goes after Cheeky Joe, but Cheeky Joe is too quick as well as the two veterans are looking for the kill. St. Jude turns around and holds the chair up but Cheeky Joe hits a variation of the mule kick and the chair is rammed into Jude's face. Jack Jones gets up from the wreckage of chairs and picks up a ladder.

RW: That's the third ladder tonight!!!

JC: That's it?

Jack Jones tosses the ladder into the ring, knocking Cheeky Joe with it.

JC: What's with him being hit by thrown objects lately, shit…

Jack Jones rolls into the ring and sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring. He looks around and sees the other two ladders and seemingly for shits and giggles, sets up the other two ladders beside the one in the middle. He begins to climb the one in the middle. Cheeky Joe gets up and begins to climb up on the other side of the same ladder. With each climb of the rung, the anticipation mounts, there is no one to stop them except each other. Jack Jones and Cheeky Joe make their way to the top of the ladder, they see each other and begin trading heavy lefts and rights. Cheeky Joe nails Jack Jones heard and it dazes Jack Jones, sending him lurching back but he keeps his grip on the ladder. He winds back and comes in with his own haymaker, sending Cheeky Joe stumbling down a rung or two. Cheeky Joe makes his way back and feels some shaking. St. Jude is up, he bounces off the ropes and slams into the ladders. Cheeky Joe and Jack Jones both jump and snag the briefcase.

RW: St. Jude has knocked down the ladders and all that's left is Cheeky Joe and Jack Jones HANGING BY THE BRIEFCASE!!!!!

Cheeky Joe and Jack Jones are fighting viciously, kicking and scratching what they can get. Cheeky Joe gets his legs wrapped around Jack Jones and pushes him down. Jack Jones's grip slips and he goes flying, but he catches cheeky's foot.

JC: Jack Jones is still in this thing, if he can pull Cheeky Joe off that briefcase, this match continues!!!

St. Jude looks at them and grabs a ladder he sets it up and climbs it about halfway. He turns around and eyes the both of them. He dives off into a flying spear, Cheeky Joe lifts up just enough so that Jack Jones takes the brunt of it. The two SFTers slam hard into the chair and ladder laiden ring. Cheeky Joe is left hanging onto the briefcase. With one hand, he unbuckles the suitcase and plummets the 20 feet to the ground. The bell rings.
RW: Cheeky Joe has just won number one contendership to the World Title.!!!!

JC: He fought as hard as anyone and its hard to see all these SFT legends in one ring and not get the recognition they deserve, but there can only be one number one contender and that my friends is Cheeky Joe!!!!!!

The whole crowd explodes, an enormous SFT chant encompasses the arena. Cheeky Joe slowly gets up and sets up a ladder in the middle of the ring. He climbs to the top of it and hoists the briefcase in the air and the crowd roars again.

Winner and Number One Contender to the SFT Heavyweight Title, Cheeky Joe!

Match Two
Kyle Murphy vs Johnny Legend
Number One Contender for the US Title

RW: Our next matchup will decide who will be taking on our US Champion at a future date.

JC: The number one contender for the US title will be battled for…NEXT!

"The Lord Is a Monkey" by Butthole Surfers slowly fades in - a voice comes on and says, "Bow Down Blockheads!" BAM! BAM! BAM! Fireworks go off ontop of the ramp. "The Lord Is a Monkey" by Butthole Surfers really kicks in, as the mist slowly fades away from the fireworks. Suddenly, Johnny Legend walks through the mist. Sporting flashy purple tights and jacket, as he stands ontop of the ramp.

Amanda Summers: Coming down to the ring at this time, (Legend walks down the ramp) weighing in at 250 pounds, hailing from Fire Island, New York... JOHNNY LEGEND!"

Johnny Legend slowly walks up the steps, and gives a few words to the fans... Some unkind words. He then gets into the ring and steps into the middle... Fireworks burst to the sides of the ring - Legend turns slowly around in a full circle and shows his winning smile. The mist clears after a few seconds, and Legend awaits his opponent, while he rests his back in a corner of the ring.

RW: Legend looks confident, but lately it seems he’s lost his focus.

"Mutherfucker Of The Year" by Mötley Crüe hits the loudspeakers and gold pyro erupts at the stage area. Kyle Murphy walks out with a grin on his face. Mickey Rourke is at his side. They walk down the ramp to ringside, where Kyle leaps to the top of the steps, then walks backward to the middle of the apron. He raises his left arm out at his side, palm up, before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. From there he goes to the far corner and climbs to the second rope. He raises his arms and flexes his muscles. The crowd roars its approval, and Kyle steps down from the middle rope. Murphy then crosses to the center of the ring and smacks his elbows into his palms as he waits.

JC: Kyle has a good opportunity here to get his hands on the US Champ and maybe reclaim some gold.

The bell rings and they go at it like wild animals. Kyle flies accross the ring with a cross body block, Legend gets up as if nothing and starts punching Murphy in the face. Murphy fights back with uppercuts. They stand there trading punches for what seems forever.

RW: These guys are really not holding back!

Legend climbs the ropes and does a top rope dive and hits Murphy with a huge elbow.

JC: Damn, that may be it.

Legend covers 1.2.kickout!

RW: You give Kyle very little credit. That’s why the man is a hall of famer.

Legend gets up and tries a powerbomb, but Murphy is able to counter it into a small package, but manages barely a 2 count. Legend gets up and kicks Murphy in the face and then drives his face into the mat with a front face suplex. Legend climbs the ropes just as Murphy is getting up, Legend with a clothesline but Murphy manages to duck it and Switch hits his head on nothing but mat.

JC: Owww

Murphy grabs Legend and hits a powerslam, and follows it up by picking him up and doing a strectcher.

JC: Theyre gonna have to call Legend something else like stretch cause he'll be able to stretch for miles after Murphy is done with him.

Murphy keeps applying pressure but Legend will not submit. Finally Murphy gets frustrated and releases the hold and quickly applies a sleeper hold.

RW: Looks like Murphy will try to put Legend down for good by making him go nite nite.

Legend begins to get groggy and starts to slowly close his eyes, Murphy is maneuvering him down but Legend falls flat on his behind causing the top of his head to connect with Murphy’s Jaw..

JC: Ouch, he’ll be eating soups for a week after that shot.

Legend is now up grabs Murphy and hits a suplex, followed by a drop toe hold, he then locks in a Boston Crab, Murphy slowly starts reaching for the ring.

Murphy finally reaches the ropes and Legend is forced to break the hold.

Murphy walks right into a superkick from Legend. Legend picks Murphy up and walks backwards gaining momentum for a running powerbomb, but Murphy counters with a DDT. Murphy goes for Murphy’s Law and nails it. He pins and hooks the leg. 1..2...3!

Kyle Murphy gets up and the ref raises his arm as the crowd cheers. Murphy points to Mickey Rourke who nods in approval.

RW: Kyle Murphy has done it!

JC: And he’ll know by the end of the night who he’ll be challenging for the US Title!

Winner via Pinfall and Number One Contender to the US Title, Kyle Murphy !

Match Three
Josh Konnely vs Ray Cross
Hardcore Title

"NEVER BACK DOWN IN THE FACE OF ANGER!"

"Never back down..."

The voices over the loudspeakers fades out and "Perfect Insanity" by Disturbed begins to play. The crowd is already booing as two pyrotechnic rockets streak across the Garden and explode at the stage. Josh Konnely emerges through the smoke onto the stage. He throws up the corna horns with his right hand as he steps out of the smoke. Josh is wearing a Jason Voorhees style mask, painted red. In his left hand he carries a baseball bat.

JC: What in the world?! What is that?!

RW: He's wearing a crimson mask, apparently.

Konnely stalks his way down the ramp and to the ringside area. He circles the ring, glaring out at the fans at ringside. At the announce table he stops and feigns a lunge at the commentators. John Cartwright and Randy White jump out of their seats just a little bit in momentary terror.

Josh nods in satisfaction, then drops the bat and steps up onto the ring apron. He climbs between the ropes and crosses the ring to the corner facing the ramp. There he climbs onto the second rope, facing out of the ring and into the crowd. He hangs his head and grabs the mask with both hands. Slowly raising his head, he pulls the mask off and scowls out into the crowd. His cold glare slowly turns to a slight grin as the fans boo him heavily. He hops down and crosses back to the opposite corner near where he entered. He hangs the mask carefully on the top turnbuckle as Amanda Summers climbs into the ring.

Amanda Summers: The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL and it is for the HARDCORE Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, weighing in at 200 pounds... originally from Saugerties, NEW YORK but now residing in Bridgeport, Connecticut... JOSH... KONNELY!

As his name is announced, Konnely throws both hands up with the cornas, and a blast of pyro from the apron and turnbuckles temporarily surrounds the ring in flame. "Perfect Insanity" fades out as Josh stands and waits, his hands on his hips.

"Hey Man Nice Shot" by Filter begins, and the stage opens to the left of the entrance. Ray Cross steps out onto the stage as a large tank begins to ascend from below.

JC: What the Hell is going on tonight?!

RW: These two are sparing no expense or effort with their scare tactics, I'll tell you that!

Josh Konnely looks on showing absolutely no emotion, and he non-chalantly sits down in the corner beneath his mask, leaning back against the middle turnbuckle. Meanwhile, Ray's crocodile Brokentooth snaps at a large slab of beef which has descended from above his tank, quickly devouring it. Cross grins as he lets the croc out of its tank, and Ray begins to walk down the ramp. The crocodile follows at his friend and master's side.

JC: What the f...?! They can't let that killer beast down here!

RW: I want hazard pay, damn it!

JC: You and me both!

RW: And Konnely may not LOOK fazed, but he's got to be thinking the same thing! I hope he has Aflac!

Josh Konnely just kicks back and relaxes in the corner as he waits for Ray Cross to finish halting Brokentooth in the corner opposite where he is sitting. Ray finally climbs the steps and into the ring, where he removes the Hardcore Championship from around his waist and hands it to the referee, who also looks out in horror at the sixteen foot croc at ringside.

Amanda Summers: Now entering the ring, he hails from Duluth, Minnesota and weighs in tonight at 252 pounds, he is the CURRENT Hardcore Champion... RAY... CROSS!

Referee Hardcore Hect calls Cross and Konnely to the center of the ring, and gives them instructions. He displays the Hardcore Championship to both men, and then to the crowd, drawing cheers from the fans. Hect passes the title belt out to the timekeeper as Ray and Josh go back to their respective corners.

Konnely takes a knee in his corner, not taking his eyes off of Cross. Ray turns his head and points out at Brokentooth, making sure his pet stays where it is. Josh takes advantage of Ray having his back turned, quickly standing up and charging Cross. Konnely connects with a hard forearm to the back of the champion's head, sending Cross to a knee. Hardcore Hect quickly calls for the bell as Josh Konnely kick starts the action.

JC: And finally we're under way!

RW: And this match might be for the Hardcore Championship, but I'm told that both of these competitors have agreed to a Submission Only stipulation. So we will see what happens with that as this match progresses.

Ray Cross tries to cover up as Josh Konnely stomps him in the back and rains down punches to his head. Hect finally puts a stop to this by pulling the challenger back off the champion. Josh complains that it is no DQ, and that he can do whatever he wants. Angrily he pushes Hect aside and stomps back toward Cross, but as Ray sits in the corner he recovers in time to kick Konnely in the gut.

JC: Quick counter by Cross!

RW: Josh Konnely a little bit over aggressive there. Thought he was in total control already with that early attack.

Cross gets to his feet quickly and grabs Konnely by the head, swinging him into the corner. Ray begins to pound Josh with punches and knife edge chops. Konnely quickly reaches out and rakes the eyes of Cross, causing him to turn his back and drawing the heat from the crowd. As Ray turns back around to face Josh, the challenger kicks the blinded champion in the knee.

As Josh Konnely delivers a front dropkick to the jaw of Ray Cross, The Dark Wolf saunters down to ringside and joins Brokentooth in Ray's corner. Josh looks at Wolf for just a split second, but stays on the attack, stomping the downed champion. Cross slides away and gets back to his feet, but Konnely drops down and puts him back on the mat with a fireman's carry, which he follows up with a side headlock, keeping the champion grounded.

JC: This Hardcore Championship submission match is certainly starting out as a technical exhibition.

RW: I wonder if it can stay that way?

JC: There certainly seems to be no love loss between these two guys, I know that.

RW: But look at Cross fight back to his feet.

Ray does push himself back up, forcing Josh up with him, his fifty pound weight advantage coming in handy as he muscles the challenger around. Cross quickly lifts Konnely up off the mat and hits a back suplex.

JC: Back body drop suplex, a classic counter.

RW: Great job by the Hardcore Champion.

Ray pulls Josh up to his feet and grabs a rear waistlock, hitting a German suplex. Holding the waistlock, Cross rolls Konnely back to his feet. Josh counters out with a go behind and hits a German suplex of his own. Konnely now brings Cross back to his feet with the waistlock maintained, and tries to hit a second suplex. This time Ray powers out, turning into Josh and dropping him with a DDT.

JC: Awesome chain wrestling there!

RW: It really was!

Cross stays on the offensive, turning Konnely onto his back and slapping on a camel clutch. Hardcore Hect checks for a submission, but Josh shouts "NO!" Trying to maneuver himself, he gets one foot under him, and then the other. Slowly he strains to lift the bigger man, standing up with Ray on his back. With an audible grunt and a roar, Konnely stands up straight with Cross on his back. With a jump the challenger falls to his back and squashes the champion under him in the process.

JC: What an incredible counter that was!

RW: Great power and resolve from Konnely!

JC: But how much did that take out of him?

RW: It looks like quite a bit.

Cross gets to his feet first, and waits on Konnely. Josh gets up, and Ray charges for a massive clothesline. Konnely ducks under the swinging arm of Cross and catches him in a cobra clutch. The crowd boos as Hect now checks the champion for the submission. In a show of his own strength, Cross quickly bends forward, throwing Konnely over his back and to the mat, breaking the hold.

Josh quickly rolls to his stomach and takes Ray down with a double leg. The challenger attempts to turn the champion over for a Boston crab, but the champ reaches up and rakes the eyes.

JC: A little pay back there for earlier.

RW: No doubt.

Konnely staggers toward his original corner. Cross charges him immediately. Josh turns just in time to catch Ray with a flapjack that drops the champion face first into the red Jason mask on the turnbuckle, causing the mask to fall to the floor, and temporarily stunning Ray. When Cross turns around, Konnely sets him up for the Konflict Theory. Just as Josh throws his weight back, Ray grabs the top rope to stay on his feet. Konnely falls all alone, the back of his head bouncing off the canvas as Cross saves himself with the block.

Ray Cross quickly locks in a sharpshooter, and Josh Konnely writhes in pain. Thinking fast, Josh pulls himself towards the camera side ring ropes, and reaches through the curtain on the ring apron. He reaches down and pulls up a kendo stick, unbeknownst to the champion. Josh swings the kendo stick out to his side, cracking Ray across the thigh. Cross shouts out in pain, but does not release his hold on Konnely. Josh swings the stick a second time, this time over his back, and connects with the back of Ray's head. Cross drops Konnely's legs and staggers forward. When he turns back around, the challenger slams the kendo stick down across his forehead. Josh drops to his knees as if to pin Ray, but stops and begins just punching the champion in the head as he remembers the submission agreement.

Konnely brings Cross back to his feet and sets him in position for the Egocide. Ray quickly spins out of it and hits a Northern Lights suplex. Both men roll to their stomachs and are down. They get up simultaneously, and Cross executes a quick single leg takedown. Without hesitation he locks in the Croc Tamer, looking to get the win.

Konnely slowly pulls himself towards the ropes, and he grabs the bottom rope with his right hand. Hect slaps his hands together, but tells Josh he cannot force the break because of the hardcore rules. Ray laughs at the futility of his foe's efforts, and wrenches the ankle harder. With both hands Konnely grabs the bottom rope and pulls himself under the ropes. With a shout of pain he pulls himself clear out of the ring, and out of the grasp of Cross.

Josh Konnely stands up with a slight limp, favoring the targeted right ankle. With a shake of his head he grabs a trashcan full of weapons and tosses it into the ring, almost hitting Ray Cross with it. He slides back into the ring, and tackles the champion, raining down right hands to the head.

JC: Uh-oh! I think this thing is about to break down!

RW: So much for the technical wrestling exhibition!

Konnely stands Cross up and hooks a front facelock. He delivers a snap suplex right onto the trashcan, which crumples under the champ's weight, with some weapons still inside. Josh grabs the can now and dumps out the remaining weapons. The mat is now littered with another kendo stick, a second baseball bat, a sledgehammer, a 2x4, rolls of barbed wire and even a staple gun.

Konnely turns back to Cross and gets kicked in the gut.

JC: Cross sets him up for the powerbomb!

RW: Death-Roll!

Cross hits the Death-Roll and follows that up by locking in a sharpshooter for the second time. Konnely shouts in pain, but reaches out and grabs the 2x4. Josh swings the lumber at Ray's leg, snapping the board over the champion's thigh. Cross drops his submission hold and falls to the mat.

JC: That was an inventive counter!

RW: Desperation move by Konnely, though.

Josh stands up slowly, and tries to catch his breath. Ray stands back up quickly and tries to slap a sleeper on the challenger, who had his back turned. Konnely quickly throws his leg back and delivers a mule kick low blow, breaking the attempt at the hold.

Josh Konnely now grabs the staple gun as Ray Cross holds his family jewels, standing wide-eyed.

JC: No... NO!

RW: Oh my GOD! Staple gun to the temple! He just shot a staple right into the head of the champion!

Konnely grins coldly as Cross falls to his knees, holding his head. Josh presses the gun against Ray's back now, sending a staple right between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck.

JC: This is sick! He's just stapling Ray!

RW: Insane! That's the name of the game for Josh! It's Konnely's MO!

Konnely raises the staple gun over his head, and brings the metal base of it down on the top of Cross' head.

JC: Oh Lord! Now that steel may have just cracked Ray's skull!

RW: This thing has gotten brutal in a hurry!

Konnely throws the staple gun aside and kicks Cross in the back of the head. He grabs the champion and throws him out of the ring. As he climbs to the outside himself, The Dark Wolf approaches him. Josh freezes him with a glare, and reaches under the ring. Konnely pulls out an SFT Bad Chemistry poster featuring himself holding the World Championship. Josh admires it for a second, then drives it into the gut of The Dark Wolf. He raises the poster over his head, and smashes it over his head.

JC: I didn't do it, officer! I was FRAMED! HAHA!

RW: A-HA... NO!

Josh turns around and Ray hits a superkick. He starts to fall into a cover, and now he is the one to realize he can't pin. Instead, he slides into the ring. Brokentooth comes around the ring as Konnely struggles to get to his feet. Josh dives into the ring just as the crocodile snaps at him, just missing his left boot.

JC: Good God! That croc would have ripped his leg clean off!

RW: Get him out of here, for Christ's sake!

Cross approaches Konnely, who brings him down by the arm and locks in an arm trap crossface.

JC: I guess that's a "Krippler Krossface" from the Konnecticut Krippler!

RW: Can he get him?!

Now it is Cross' turn to have to pull himself out of the ring to escape the clutches of his opponent. Konnely follows Cross out to the floor, with a tentative look over at Brokentooth. Konnely grabs Cross and applies another front facelock.

JC: Is Konnely trying for a suplex on the floor?!

Josh sweeps out Ray's leg, driving his face into the padded concrete floor.

RW: NO! KONFLICT THEORY!

Konnely grabs a table and slides it into the ring. He slides in and sets the table up. He climbs back to the outside and pushes Cross back inside. Josh then goes under the ring again, bringing out a metal crutch wrapped in barbed wire. He slides in as Ray stands up, and kicks him in the gut. Konnely quickly raises the crutch up, and brings it down right over Cross' head. The barbed wire tears the skin on the champions head.

Tossing the crutch back out of the ring, Josh grabs a roll of the barbed wire that was in the ring from the trashcan. He wraps that around his fingerless gloved hand, and uses that barbed wired fist to punch Ray repeatedly in the head. Konnely then grinds the fist and barbed wire into the face, ripping Cross open and turning him into a bloody mess.

JC: Well now it's Cross that's wearing the crimson mask as this match gets more and more brutal.

RW: Nothing pretty or fancy here anymore.

Konnely now throws the barbed wire out of the ring and pulls Cross to his feet. He lifts the champion and sits him on the top rope facing out of the ring, then climbs up himself, facing in. Konnely hooks Cross and lifts him up, falling off the top rope.

JC: Falling uranage slam through the table!

RW: What a side slam! From the top rope and through the table!

Josh instinctively hooks the leg after he and Ray crash through the table to the mat. Hardcore Hect waves him off, and Konnely pounds the mat in frustration as he remembers the agreed submission only stipulation. Cross rolls to his stomach and crawls away, barely knowing where he is at. Josh goes to the outside and grabs the baseball bat which he brought to the ring. He slides back in and stands over the face down champion, takes the bat in both hands, and presses it to Ray's throat to choke him.

Josh Konnely: COME ON! GIVE UP!

Cross gets his right arm behind Konnely right leg, and drives a forearm into the back of the thigh. Josh holds on, and Ray hits him in the shin. A second hard shot to the thigh causes Konnely to fall to a knee and drop the bat. Cross slides away as the challenger leans against the ropes. Ray grabs the other bat as Josh pulls himself to his feet. He swings the bat low and slams it right into the side of the challenger's boot.

JC: Oh God! That ankle is really getting worked over!

RW: It sure is!

Cross throws both baseball bats out of the ring, and he slides to the outside. He crosses to the timekeeper's table, and tells ring announcer Amanda Summers to move. He grabs her chair and slides back into the ring with it.

With Konnely laid down on the mat, Cross raises the chair up and slams it down on his challenger's right boot. Ray hits Josh in the leg a second time... a third time... a fourth time... and a fifth! Tossing the chair to the mat, Cross locks on the Croc Tamer again.

JC: Oh no! That ankle may already be broken, and now the Croc Tamer is locked in!

RW: This has to be it! No way Josh can hang on!

Hardcore Hect checks with Konnely for the submission. Josh shakes his head, even as Ray twists and wrenches the ankle. The challenger falls limp in the hold as the champion continues to punish him with the hold. He is about to pass out, and Hect talks to him.

Referee Hect: Do you want to give this up? Want me to end this?

Again Konnely shakes his head and shouts "NO!" Cross throws down his challenger's leg in frustration, and grabs the chair again. With Josh still face down, Ray lifts the damaged right leg and carefully closes the chair around it.

With the chair wrapped around Konnely's foot, Cross holds the chair with both hands and pulls backwards, bending the leg back in a modified Croc Tamer or single leg Boston crab. Josh shouts out in agony and pounds his fist on the mat twice. At last Konnely reluctantly taps out, knowing his leg might get broken if this continues. The bloody champion releases the chair and raises his arms over his head, falling forward against the ropes as he does so. "Hey Man Nice Shot" by Filter hits again as the bell rings.

Winner via Submission and STILL SFT Hardcore Champion, Ray Cross!

Hardcore Hect helps take the chair off Josh Konnely's leg as the Hardcore Championship is passed up to Ray Cross by the timekeeper. Ray turns toward Josh, still leaning back against the ropes. He is breathing deeply as he puts the title belt over his shoulder. Once Cross gets himself standing upright, he offers Konnely his hand.

Josh responds by grabbing the chair and driving the back of it into Ray's gut. The music cuts out. Konnely stands up on his own, limping noticeably, and he slams the chair across Cross' back. He slams the chair to the mat and raises the two cornas again.

With Ray Cross down on all fours, Josh Konnely gingerly runs backwards and delivers a running big boot to the champion's bloody face.

JC: Oh Good God! The match is over!

RW: A shining Yakuza kick to a defenseless Cross!

Josh raises his arms triumphantly, and grabs the Hardcore Championship. He raises the belt over his head before draping it down on Ray's prone back. Konnely grins sadistically and climbs out of the ring to grab his mask and the bat he brought out.

Josh is about to leave when he notices Ray starting to crawl around. Placing the mask and bat down on the ringsteps, Konnely slides back into the ring.

Cross is down on his hands and knees. Konnely squats in the corner, measuring him up. Josh charges and punts Ray in the head. Cross is knocked out cold by the boot to the skull, and Konnely smiles wickedly.

Hardcore Hect grabs Josh Konnely and pushes him away from the motionless Ray Cross. The Dark Wolf slides in a little too late to help his partner. "Perfect Insanity" hits now as Konnely climbs out of the ring, grabs his bat and mask, and makes his way to the back.

RW: That was just disgusting show of sportsmanship by Josh Konnely.

JC: Ray won the match but Josh had the last word!

Both men are down as Anish crawls back towards his corner. TK starts to get up and grabs Anish by the foot, but Anish uses his other leg to propel him toward his corner and he makes the hot tag.

Match Seven
Reno Destiny vs Dark Wolf

Camera fades into the SFT Strike-tron where The ICON is shown on the screen.

The ICON: You know what? I’ve seen enough hardcore matches and ladder matches here tonight. Dark Wolf and Reno, you guys can fight this one out in a normal single fall match.

RW: Well I guess The ICON wants to see an actual “wrestling” match here tonight.

JC: And we’re about to get one as the US Champion is making his way to the ring.

The guitar intro to Plowed by Sponge begins as the arena stands on its feet. Fans with their signs peer to get a glimpse of The Dark Wolf. Then the Drum beat picks up The lights dim and as the vocals start The Dark Wolf swiftly lunges out from backstage to a roar from the crowd. He stands there somewhat transformed by who he was and who is is meant to be.

As the arena welcomes him, his focus changes from his re-found fans. To the ring. A smirk runs sidelong on his face as he charges the ring and circles the ring once.Then leaping hepivots turning and sliding his knee on the apron and looks over the crowd once more.

He nods his head and goes into the ring through the ropes to the far side of the ring.The Dark Wolf climbs the corner turnbuckle and poses as the arena lights up with the flash of cameras that is like a free entrance lightshow. He then drops to the ring as the lights come back up.

RW: We’ll see if losing the Tag Title match earlier has any psychological effects on Dark Wolf here in this match.

Dark Wolf stands in the ring and awaits Reno’s arrival. Then out of no where Reno slides under the bottom rope and nails Dark Wolf with a steel chair shot across his head. Which sends him to the outside.

JC: It seems like Reno is getting a head start on Dark Wolf - no pun intended.

RW: Yea, so much for a ‘wrestling’ match, huh?

Reno throws Dark Wolf into the ring and he quickly follows. The opening bell sounds. Reno goes for the pinfall.

RW: 1... NO! Kickout. I hope Reno didn't think he was going to pin Dark Wolf that easily.

Reno gets up and he drags Dark Wolf to the corner. With Dark Wolf still down, Reno climbs to the second rope and he goes for a 180 leg drop, but Dark Wolf moves out of the way.

Match Eight
Dameon vs Lion with ICON as special ref
SFT Heavyweight Championship Match

JC: And now it all comes down to this.

RW: The SFT World Heavyweight Title is on the line next as The Lion looks to be the one to finally take Dameon out.

JC: Dameon has been a strong champion the last few months. He earned the title right after Bad Chemistry and no one has been able to take it away from him.

RW: Lion and Dameon met last Sunday in a Triple Threat Match and Lion was able to way away with the victory.

JC: But he didn’t pin Dameon, Randy.

RW: We’ll see if Lion can pin Dameon here tonight, John.

JC: And let’s not forget about the wild card in this whole thing.

RW: Yea, The ICON will be the special guest referee for this match and he and Dameon have been having their share of issues for the last five weeks.

JC: The ICON has made Dameon’s life a living hell. He told Dameon that he’s doing it for Dameon’s own good. That to be a legend you need to prove yourself worthy.

RW: Well, if that’s the case, Dameon has passed all of The ICON’s tests.

JC: But will his luck run out tonight?

RW: Let’s find out.

Blue Spotlights flicker throughout the arena and BANG! "CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES..." Individual pyro blasts lining the left and right side of the entranceway explodes as a domino effect from the bottom of the ramp to the top, which leads to a massive pyro explosion at the top of the set. "...THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!" Co-Owner of Strike Fantasy Towers, The ICON, makes his way down to the ring. He’s dressed up in a referee’s shirt.

JC: Do you think The ICON will be fair here tonight?

RW: Dameon stalked him out at home and demolished all of his cherished possessions. I don’t think so!

The Jumanji theme hits the PA as Lion walks out with Genevieve at his side. Lion bears his chest and stares proudly into the horizon. As he walks down to the ring a loud Lion's roar is heard. His walk is staggered and timid, as if stalking prey. He then climbs onto the apron just by stepping onto it, He then steps over the ropes and into the ring. From there, he waits.

JC: The Lion is a massive man. Dameon will have his hands full tonight.

RW: And with Genevieve at his side here tonight, Dameon is basically in a one on three.

JC: Yea, she was pretty upset that she couldn’t get her hands on Dameon last Sunday.

The arena lights dim as the Striketron fills with static, the words "A Revolution in Pain." appear a midst the salt and pepper scheme holding a hue of red, the opening notes of strike out through the PA the arena begins to flash with blood red lights, and as the rest of the guitars slowly join in strobe lights begin to flare in the entry way. Dameon then throws the curtain aside and steps out onto the stage as the vocals roar sending chills down the spines of children and soon to be mothers alike. Dameon throws his arms into the air with Kendo Stick in his left hand and around his waist is the prestigious World Heavyweight Title, Dameon then begins to make his way to the ring. "Never too late to stand your ground - Revolution begins In you - In me - Revolution!...BEGINS!!!" Standing about midway down the ramp Dameon begins to point out to the crowd who are half and half cheering and booing for "The Beast" of the SFT. Continuing his way down to ringside Dameon makes his way towards the announcers table, stopping momentarily to look down onto John and Randy, before sliding into the ring, heading to the nearest corner, climbing it, and throwing the "X" above his head once again. "Once lost - Lost in their game Mental chains breaking now Set yourself free Who are they to tell you what to do? The stage is not set, the road is not chosen Your fate not preordained They are losing control - every step of the way" Dameon now steps down from the turnbuckle, lays his kendo stick on the apron of the ring, detaches his World Heavyweight Title, then turns to the crowd roaring as he throws an "X" into the air, continuing to proclaim his dominance he hands his titles down to the ring aid, and begins to loosen his wrists preparing for the battle ahead.

JC: Dameon is looking confident tonight.

RW: You know, Dameon calls himself a beast. Lionel Kingston calls himself the lion. Ray Cross has a pet crocodile he brought to the ring tonight…when did this place become a fucking zoo?

JC: I have no idea Randy. I have no idea. But don’t feed the animals.

Dameon reluctantly hands the World Title over to The ICON. As ICON goes to take it from him, Dameon grabs a hold of it tight. ICON and Dameon both have their hands on the titles as each man stares the other one down. ICON rips the Title from Dameon’s hands, shows it up to the audience, hands it to the time keeper and calls for the bell. Dameon and Lion circle eachother. The two lock up and Lion quickly tosses Dameon to the mat. Dameon gets up quickly and attempts a clothesline but it doesn’t phase Lion. Dameon goes for another attempt, but gets the same reaction. Dameon confused charges Lion again and Lion shoulderblocks Dameon to the mat.

JC: Even at 6’5, Lion still towers over Dameon.

RW: It’s gonna be tough to bring the big man down. And Dameon is learning that the hard way.

Lion picks up Dameon and headbutts him right back down to the mat. Lion follows with an enormous leg drop that shakes the ring. Dameon grabs his throat and rolls out of the ring. The ICON begins to count out Dameon 1…2….3….The Lion exits the ring and ICON begins his count over 1….Lion grabs Dameon and whips him into the ring post….3…..Lion grabs Dameon and rolls him into the ring. Lion gloats to the crowd and then climbs onto the apron to get into the ring. With one leg over the top rope, Dameon gets up and grabs the top rope, shaking it.

Dameon bounces off the ropes and hits a dropkick to Dameon’s leg and Lion ends up face first into the mat. Lion back to his knees and Dameon hits a Shining Wizard. Dameon snaps on The Fragile X. ICON checks the hold seeing if Lion submits, but Lion says no.

JC: Could it be over this quickly?!

Lion, with the arm locked into the hold, gets himself back to his knees. With determination on his face, Lion is able to hoist Dameon up into the air and drop him with a modified sidewalk slam breaking the hold.

RW: Holy Shit! What a show of strength by Lion.

Lion gets up shaking his arm. Dameon is up holding his back. Lion hits Dameon with a big boot. He picks Dameon up and nails him with a Samoan Slam. Lion picks up Dameon and whips him into the corner. Lion sticks his chest out and then charges the corner nailing Dameon with a huge splash. Dameon crumbles to his knees and then to the mat. Lion goes to the top rope. Lion stands on the top turnbuckle and lets out a roar. He then attempts his Kingdome Come, a moonsault, but Dameon rolls out of the way at the last second!

JC: Oh My God! I think the entire earth just shook.

RW: Lion went for it all and came up empty.

Dameon pulls himself up using the ropes. Dameon gets Lion to his feet and hits a reverse Death Valley Driver. Dameon puts Lion into a figure four leglock. ICON asks Lion is he quits and he says no. Lion is in a lot of pain. Lion inches towards the ropes but can’t quite make it. He reaches out one more time and Genevieve pushes the rope towards him and Lion grabs on. ICON sees Lion in the ropes and tells Dameon to break the hold, but Dameon won’t. ICON counts 1…2…3….4…and Dameon finally breaks the hold. Dameon gets up arguing with ICON about the interference and the two men go back and forth with eachother. ICON is pointing at his shirt warning Dameon that he’ll DQ him. Dameon reaches back to punch ICON, but stops. ICON just laughs at Dameon. Dameon picks up Lion and takes him to the corner. Dameon Russian leg sweeps Lion forward into the top turnbuckle.

JC: What a vicious move!

RW: Dameon and ICON almost coming to blows here.

JC: Dameon can’t lose his focus.

Dameon turns over Lion for a pin fall. ICON counts 1……..2………and Lion kicks out.

JC: Think that count coulda been a little quicker?

RW: I was thinking the same thing.

Dameon shoots ICON a look that could kill. ICON shrugs his shoulders. Dameon picks up Lion but Lion hits Dameon with a quick punch to the gut. Lion whips Dameon into the ropes, and Genevieve pulls the top rope down sending Dameon over the top rope to the outside and crashing into the security rail. Lion distracts ICON. Genevieve grabs one of Dameon’s kendo sticks and hits him over the head with it. Dameon begins to bleed from his head.

JC: Looks like Genevieve got what she wanted.

RW: In a huge way. Dameon is busted open. And the tide has turned again here.

Lion rolls to the outside, and exposes the concrete under the mat on the outside. He picks up Dameon and military presses him up.

JC: Uh oh.

RW: Dameon well over 8 feet up into the air.

Lion just drops Dameon and Dameon comes crashing down onto the concrete with a sickening thud. Lion roars to the audience. He picks up Dameon and rolls him back into the ring. Lion climbs back in, gets Dameon up and hits him with a standing suplex, crashing Dameon back to earth once again.

JC: A turn of events here maybe for Dameon.

RW: Both men bleeding now. Everything’s even again.

Dameon, tasting his own blood, becomes infuriated. He mounts Lion and begins to pummel his head with rights and lefts. The ICON is berated Dameon and starts to count…1…2….3…..4…..5….but Dameon doesn’t care. The ICON, behind Dameon, grabs his arm. Dameon pulls his arm forward and then snaps it back hitting ICON in the face sending ICON into the turnbuckle. Dameon turns around and at the same time ICON is coming out of the corner. As Dameon turns around, ICON nails him with a Showstoppa!!!!

Inside the ring, ICON is standing over Dameon with a mic in hand.

The ICON: Dameon, you provoked me and I had no choice. You screwed yourself. You have no one to blame tonight but yourself! I was right all along. You aren’t Legend material. A legend can overcome the odds night in and night out. But you buckled under the pressure once and for all. Dameon, you took my most prized possessions from me and tonight I’ve taken your most prized possession from you!

RW: Wow, what a night we’ve had here tonight.

JC: Join us next Sunday night for all of the fallout from Atonement.

RW: I’m exhausted. Good night everyone!
