May 26, 2002
Sunday Night 9:00pm
Live From Las Vegas, Nevada

Redemption Opening

We see as the the camera flying over the sold out arena at Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. The crowd is really up in arms, as you can feel the electricity and the adrenaline. A huge black curtain drops from the side of the arena and we see Static X there and they begin to play Push It. The crowd jumps on their feet and we actually see a few mosh pits in the lower sections and fights break out here and there.

Phil: Total Chaos is the way we start this ppv, just the way the SFT wanted it.

Steve: Definately, this will be one of a kind thats for sure.

Static X finishes playing the song as we see Shadow standing there on the stage with them as the song plays, the crowd spots him and he's greeted by boos and cheers.

Shadow has a mic in his hand and just stands there silently watching the crowd. As his silence continues the crowd gets rowdier and louder. Shadow lifts up his arms and eggs them to continue it.

Shadow: Yess.....Yess this is what I wanted. Give it to me. And I shall return it two fold. So here we are in the city of sin. Las Vegas, seems sorta appropriate for a ppv called Redemption. (crowd roars) How many of you seek Redemption? How many are willing to seek it out? I look at the guys in the back, full of hate, sin, and anger, they dont want any redemption, they dont give a shit about it. But tonight, I promise you, everyone will bleed, and their redemption will be given to them wether they like it or not, covered in blood. (crowd roars again)

Shadow: Tonight everyone will meet their maker, and redemption will be theirs, tonight in the ring, everyone goes one on one and it will be chaos, it will be anarchy, and there will be pain...such such pain. And you all will love it and when its all over, an entire federation will have knowledge of the word....Redemption.

(The crowd goes absolutely crazy as Shadow finishes his speech)

Phil: I think we're in for one hell of a night.

Steve: Phil, its already started, its already started. Lets get this show on the road baby.

MATCH NUMBER ONE
The Lotus Pod™ vs. I for an I™
Tag Team Titles Cemetery Match

Phil: Were going to go via satellite to a local cemetery where this match will take place. We will play there songs as they come into the camera focus.

The scene cuts to a dark cemetery. Tombstones and Graves, with withering flowers are seen. Then The Lotus Pod comes into the camera, in the arena Ali Ba-Ba by Dark Lotus plays. Knife and Phantom look at each other and look out into the darkness. Last Resort then hits as I for an I comes into the moons light. The ICON and Ian Wynn stare at Knife and Phantom for a couple minutes. As a breeze blows, they run and the match begins.

Steve: Here we go!

Knife and Ian Wynn go at each other. Knife gets an advantage on Ian Wynn with some kicks and forearm shots. The ICON and Phantom throw punches at each other, but eventually the towering Phantom is to much for The ICON. Phantom lifts up The ICON in a press and then drops him across his left knee.

Phil: The ICON's stomach is going to be hurting.

Knife has Ian Wynn on his shoulder. As Knife begins to take a couple steps, Ian Wynn slips done his back and shoves him off into the darkness. The ICON gets up, but slowly. Phantom low blows Ian Wynn and Ian Wynn goes falling over a tombstone.

Steve: As Ian Wynn goes flying into that tombstone, all I can say is may that poor soul rest in peace.

Knife comes out of nowhere with a double axe handle on to ICON. ICON goes tumbling backwards and hits his head on a crows nest. Knife and Phantom start working over Ian Wynn. ICON comes back over with a rotten piece of wood and clubs Knife in the back of the head. Ian Wynn kicks Phantom and ICON waits for him to turn aorund. Phantom, dazed but sees the "Showstoppa" coming at him and ducks out of the way. The ICON connects Ian Wynn in the jaw and he goes tumbling into an un-marked grave. A loud high pitched scream is heard in the background as the three men stop fighting momentarily.

Steve: What the hell was that?

Phil: I dont know, but im sure we'll find out.

Knife thinks nails the ICON in the back of the head with a shovel and he goes down to the ground. Knife and Phantom give some kind of hand signal as they both ascend stacked haystacks. They leap off at different times and do "The Apocalypse of Seven Churches" on to the ICON. For some reason Knife isn't getting up and Ian Wynn is no where to be seen. Phantom looks around confused screaming out Knife's name, but he hears no sound. Out of no where, Phantom goes down hard by a man wheeling a sledgehammer, but with a black hood on. He nails Phantom in the right shoulder repeatedly and than tosses him to the side. The masked man than turns to the ICON andnails him once in the face with the head of the sledgehammer. The ICON falls down to his knees, leaning back on a wheel-barrel. The masked man crouches over the ICON and looks in to his face. The man says, "Screw with the rest, you die by the best. The best in the business!" As he says, he removes his mask to reveal Tony Barrera and with a shocked look on the ICON's face, Tony just stares in to his eyes as the ICON passes out by a delayed concussion.

Steve: Tony Barrera has returned!!

Phil: In a big way too; Taking out Phantom, Knife, Ian Wynn, and long time rival The ICON!

Steve: I guess the match is a no contest then.

Phil: Guess so.

WINNER OF THIS MATCH: No Contest

Backstage Segment

Backstage, we see Dave Sagers talking with reporter Gauge. Gauge speaks.

Gauge: Now Dave, I hear you got something to say tonight.

Dave: You damn right I do. Tonight I am announcing a new tag team into SFT. My tag team partner will be none other than Incubus!

Crowd cheers.

Dave: Together, we are going to be called Vital Pulse. We are going to become the greatest tag team EVER. No man who be able to stop us. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and get ready for my title match against Alan.

Dave then pushes Gauge aside. Gauge just gives a funny look to Dave, and then leaves.

MATCH NUMBER TWO
Dave Sagers™ vs. Alan Black™
Hardcore Title Match

Steve: Well the next match is for the SFT Hardcore Title. The undefeated Dave Sagers takes on Alan Black one on one, and with the anything goes rule, this match will be a bloodbath.

Phil: Yeah, I mean, the hardcore title is one of the most brutal titles around. Who knows what will happen.

Steve: Well let us get to the action folks, and see what happens.

Phil: Hey Randy, do your parents know you're gay?

Steve: NO! Of course not.

Johnny starts laughing.

Steve: What? Did I miss something?

As the camera cuts to the ring, where we see Dave Sagers already in the ring. He climbs the top ropes, and taunts the crowd as they cheer for him.

Candy Peaks: This is a hardcore match, scheduled for one fall, and is for the vacant SFT Hardcore Title. Already in the ring at this time, the challenger, DAVE SAGERS.

When Dave gets down, the lights suddenly go out. Then "Voodoo" by Godsmack starts to slowly play. Then when it picks up, pyros start shooting from the sides, and Alan Black slowly appears from the darkness. When the lights go back on, we see Alan Black with a shopping cart filled to the brim with hardcore items.

Candy Peaks: Now coming down to the ring, the second challenger, weighing in at 333 pounds, ALAN BLACK.

When Alan makes it to the ring, he grabs the items from the cart, and throws them in the ring. One weapon almost hits Dave, but he moves to the side. Alan then enters the ring, and grabs one of the weapons, a steel chair. Dave notices a steel chair next to him, and grabs it. As soon as the bell rings, both Alan and Dave meet at the center of the ring. Alan goes to hit Dave with the chair, but Dave blocks it with his chair. Dave goes for a hit, but Alan blocks with his. Alan and Dave now start sword fighting with the chairs. Finally, Alan hits Dave in the leg with the chair, and Dave goes on one knee. Alan then smacks Dave in the head, and Dave falls to the ground holding his head. Alan drops his chair, and picks up Dave. Alan goes for "The Touch" onto the chair, but Dave lifts Alan up, and pushes him into the turnbuckle. Dave then delivers a bunch of spears to Alan. Dave then grabs a garbage can in the ring, places it in front of Alan, and delivers a dropkick to the can hitting Alan at the same time. Alan wobbles around, and then falls face first onto the garbage can. Dave grabs Alan and brings him to the center of the ring. He puts him in a headlock, but Alan lifts him in the air for a backdrop. Alan then grabs Dave's legs and places him in a sharpshooter. Dave starts yelling in pain, but doesn't tap. Dave then notices a kendo stick near him. Dave grabs the stick, and whacks Alan in the head once, twice, three times. Alan finally lets go, and tries to lift himself up. Dave then leaves the ring, and goes under the mat. He pulls out a wooden table. He unfolds the table, and places it to the outside.

Steve: Uh oh…the table is out. Phil: That means only one thing.

Steve: Time for lunch? Dave enters back in the ring, and grabs Alan. He sets him up for a powerbomb to the outside, and on the table, but Alan lands on his feet, grabs Dave by the sides, and delivers a belly to back suplex over the top rope, and ONTO THE TABLE! Dave is knocked out. Alan then climbs the top rope, and delivers a moonsault onto Dave. Alan goes for the pin. 1,2,kick out. Alan gets mad, and picks Dave back up. He drags Dave to the ring barrier, and throws him into the crowd. Alan climbs over as well, and goes after Dave. Suddenly, Dave delivers a low blow to Alan. Dave grabs Alan by the head, and DDTs him to the ground. The crowd starts cheering and start slapping Dave on the back. Suddenly, a fan accidentally knocks into Dave. Dave turns around, and delivers a knockout right hand to him. The fan is knocked out.

Phil: Man, I've just been WAITING for the day that would happen.

Steve: You'd think that would happen more.

Phil: You don't think though, so it's ok.

Steve: Yeah, hey wait, were you insulting me?

Phil: ME? No way.

Steve: Well good.

As soon as Dave turns around, Alan clotheslines him to the ground, and starts punching him in the head. Alan then grabs Dave, and throws him over the barrier once again. Alan then climbs the barrier, waits for Dave to get up, and delivers a double axe handle to him. Alan picks up Dave again, but Dave pushes him into the turnbuckle post. Dave picks Alan back up, and throws him into the ring. Dave then goes under the ring, and pulls out a giant ladder.

Phil: Uh oh, you know what that ladder means.

Steve: We're going to paint a house?

Phil: Boy, were you BORN this stupid?

Steve: Yes!

Phil: Uhh, no comment.

Dave throws the ladder into the ring. He then enters the ring himself. Dave sets the ladder up, and grabs Alan. Dave scoop slams Alan to the ground. Dave then climbs the ladder to the top. Dave signals for the end. Dave then goes for the "Five Star Frog Splash", but Alan grabs the hardcore title, which was place in the ring earlier, and Dave hits the title headfirst. Dave is knocked out. Alan then immediately gets up, climbs the ladder, and hits a Five Star Frog Splash of his own on Dave. Alan goes for the pin. 1...2â. KICK OUT! HE KICKED OUT! Alan looks down at Dave in amazement. Alan picks up Dave again, and now hits him with the "Tombstone" onto the title belt. Alan goes for the pin. 1...2...3! The bell rings, and Alan gets up. He grabs the hardcore title, and lifts it up high in the air. "Voodoo" by Godsmack plays once again, and Alan places the belt around his waist.

Candy Peaks: The winner of this match, and the NEW SFT Hardcore Champion ALAN BLACK!

Alan picks up Dave, and Dave starts shaking his head in pain. Alan goes to leave the ring, but Dave taps Alan on the shoulder. Alan turns around, and Dave lends out a hand. Alan looks at the hand, and shakes it in agreement. The crowd cheers at seeing this.

Phil: I dont get it. Sportsmanship? In a hardcore match? That's like...like...

Steve: Like you getting laid?

Phil slaps Steve alongside the head.

Phil: Hush your mouth, I will soon.

Suddenly, A man wearing a black ski mask appears from the crowd with a sledgehammer, enters the ring, and knocks out both Alan Black and Dave Sagers with it. He starts beating on Alan with the sledgehammer. The man then grabs Alan, and hits him with "Smokin' Gunn".

Steve: Who the hell is that?

Phil: Well he just did the "Smokin' Gunn". Who else would do that move?

Steve: Uhh..Goldeneye?

Phil bangs his head on the table over and over again. Suddenly, the man takes off the ski mask, and reveals himself to be JOE GUNN. The crowd starts booing him, as Joe drops the sledgehammer. Joe then grabs the hardcore title, and raises it high for everyone to see. "Dragula" by Rob Zombie starts playing, and as Joe drops the title on Alan, he says.

Joe: Keep the title warm for me.

Joe then exits the ring, and walks backwards, looking at what he has done. Alan is bleeding from the mouth, and Alan slowly gets up grabbing his stomach. A look of anger is shown in Alan's eyes. Alan then is knocked out. Joe just laughs as the crowd continues to boo him. Referees and EMTs come running down to the ring to help out Alan. They drag Alen out of the ring along with his hardcore title.

Steve: WOW! Joe Gunn is back, Alan won the hardcore title, we witnessed a great match. Phil: Randy is an idiot, Randy is gay, Randy is monkey shit, Randy!

Steve: Shut up!

WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Alan Black

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT

The scene's opened up backstage as Kris Sage, Fireball and the rest of the Elite were talking, then a laughter was heard outside the door. Then he faded away. Then Sage began to talk to the Elite.

Sage:Well, tonight is the night. The Elite is stronger then ever, and now we must show these people why we are the best Stable Champion's in the world.

Fireball:That's right. I brought you all here tonight to fight for the Elite, and tonight Sean Lane will face The Foundation member Eliminator. And his sweet love take's on Megan The Monster. Now for the rest of The Elite, i have plans for you all. So, let's get ready.

The Elite walked out of the locker room to go to the ring for a promo, but walking down the same hallway coming toward them was The Foundation.

Damion:Well, look's like we have a little standoff here. So Fireball, it look's like no love loss here tonight.

Fireball:See Damion like you have been from day one, you are a stupied jackass.

Eliminator:You better watch who your talking too, because you know Xavier is the Vice President also. He can make you pay.

Fireball:Understand this, I am also the VP and tonight. In that very ring i will make sure you don't walk out with that IC Title. The Elite, hold's it, and we shall never be beat by your punk's, and last week on Inferno you found that out.

Damion:Do be all happy with those Stable Cup Title's, because as my boys get back we will beat your asses.

Sage:You know what Damion, why wait let's get it on right now.

Sage goes to throw a punch at Damion but Eliminator jumped into the way, and blocked the punch. Lane, and Sorik came out from the locker room and attacked Eliminator, then Christian Cage was standing with his TV Title and clocked Nokio in the head with it knocking him to the ground. As the Foundation and The Elite went back and forth the light's went out in the hallway. A few moment's later a man was standing with a cane, and all the Foundation members were down and out, as The Elite stood and staired at this man. Then he walked off into the dark but Sage stopped him.

Sage:Who are you?

???:Tonight, The Foundation found one first hand what i am made of, and tonight is still young.

The scene's faded away as The Elite left the scene.

MATCH NUMBER THREE
Evan Corbyn™ vs. Myris™
Jr. Heavyweight Title Match

Phil: Wow as if this night hasn't been electrifying enough yet. Wait until you see what's next.

Steve: Despite what these guys have said in the past this match will be hell.

Phil: Myris from what I have heard said he is to retire should he lose this match.

Steve: Then he better win.

Phil: The guy hasn't been around that long has he?

Steve: Hey, it's not my call.

Phil: Whatever let's get this party started!

"Sweet Dreams" by Marlyn Manson hits the P.A. system as it's followed up by a thunderous amount of boos by the crowd. Out walking onto the stage comes Evan as he gives an evil smirk to the crowd. He stands aligned in the center of the stage and begins a slow paced walk down the ramp. He finishes his slow walk with sudden sprint down to the ring. He stops in front of the ring and hops up onto the ring apron. Evan stands there for a few seconds and looks around the arena with a snarl in lip. He climbs through the middle turnbuckle and enters the ring. Evan leans on some ropes and begins a few stretches as he awaits SFT's Jr. Heavyweight Champ to come on out.

Steve: Look at the determination in Evans eyes, you can tell he wants that title pretty bad.

Phil: This guy here is a menace and I think that tonight not even Myris can stop him.

Steve: I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

"Sweet Dreams" by Disturbed hits the speakers amplifying a huge welcoming response to Myris. A mixed reaction from the crowd follows up, but not as loud as what was heard for Evan. Myris throws aside the curtains and walks onto the stage with his title so nicely wrapped around his waist. Myris stands up onto the stage a bit and gives off a deepening concentrated look into Evan's eyes. Myris places both of his hands on the each side of the belt as he unbuttons it and drops it to floor. Myris wipes his mouth off with a swirl motion and then he jumps up and books it down the ramp sliding into the ring getting this match on the way.

Phil: And this match has started off with a bang!

Steve: Myris is obviously eager to get things rolling, look how he just ran in there and attacked Evan.

In the ring Myris knocked down Evan and starts kicking away at Evans back. Myris picks him up and gives him a right, another right and another right this time knocking him down. Evan checks his forehead for blood and then roles out of the ring. Evan stands up against the barricade just off to the side as he tries to slow the match and intensity down a bit. Corbyn daydreaming doesn't see Myris grab onto the top rope and fling himself over it crashing himself into Evan. Both men are down instantly but the well hyper Myris gets up to his feet quickly. Evan continues to lie on the ground as Myris walks around the ring and grabs a steel chair from the announcement area. Myris works his way back and finds Evan on the ground. He takes a huge swing onto the padding, but Evan roles out of the way.

Phil: Wow that was close.

Steve: He might've lost his head had that made contact.

Evan stands up and looks around for the ramp. He finds it and starts to run up it followed by Myris. Apparently this match is going backstage. Evan reaches the top and runs straight through the curtains. He stops half way in the backstage area and notices Myris is not behind him anymore. Evan looks around the backstage scenery and has no clue where Myris is. Corbyn walks back to entrance area and yet again walks through the curtains. As soon as he is visible for the crowd to see on the stage, Myris comes from the left side and clocks Evan in the head with that steel chair. Myris throws the chair aside and makes a cover.

3..Kick out

Phil: Oh shit that was close!

Steve: Man I thought this one was over already.

Myris puts his hands on his head in confusion and can't believe Evan kicked out. Myris picks Evan up and leaves him unattended for a second while he picks up the chair again. Myris winds up and takes a swing again. Evan ducks underneath it and kicks the off guard Myris in the stomach. Myris drops the chair and holds his stomach synchronized with a crying bellow by Myris. Evan now picks up the chair and holds it up into the air taunting the crowd. Evan takes a few steps back and then belts Myris straight into his head opening him right up. Myris falls to his hands and knees and Evan winds up again and slams the chair down onto his back causing Myris to give off a monstrous yell of pain and agony. Evan drops to his knees and grabs Myris's shoulders and flips him over. Evan lies across the chest of Myris and makes a cover.

2 Kick Out

Phil: Wow, not even a two and a half count.

Steve: God that was an inhuman chair shot that not even a giant can take and Myris kicked out from it.

Phil: This just goes to show how much Myris wants to keep his title and win this damn match.

Steve: If Evan can capitalize and maintain this match, this match will be as good as his.

Back up onto the staging area Evan stands up and begins to stomp his feet. He places out three fingers to the ref and claims he got the three count. Evan continues the complaining for several seconds giving the bloody Myris a chance to get off a cheap low blow. Evan bends over and yet again holds his stomach in pain. Myris stands up and grabs Evans arm as he slings his arm over his shoulder and picks him up and drops a crucial backdrop to the steel ramp. Myris picks Evan up again and hooks his arm over his shoulder again and this time from the front as he lifts Evan straight up into the air and delivers a massive suplex crashing both men down. Evan lays somewhat unconscious as a risky and darey Myris starts climbing the front stage PPV set up. A large cage that was placed in front of each side of the stage was the practically a zone born to give death and death only. Myris climbs the twenty-foot cage and reaches the top. Evan still lying down on the ground seems to have no clue what is happening. Myris raises both arms into the air signals he's about to take a leap of faith. The crowd rather than before yells out in full support of Myris's soon to be daring attempt. Myris gives a somewhat frightened look up at the ceiling, but then his courage over powers him as he leaps off. Time feels like it goes into to slow motion watching young Myris go air born off the twenty-foot cage. Fans stand up and cheer as slow as they've ever cheered from this awkward slow motion scene. Time seems to focus back to normal as Myris is seconds from impact and suddenly Evan gets up and dives out of the way as Myris crashes down onto the steel staging area below.

Phil: Oh my god!!!

Steve: Oh shit he's got to be dead!

Phil: Ladies and gentlemen if you missed that then you might as well not live.

Steve: Myris just jumped off a twenty-foot steel cage landing face first onto steel staging.

Phil: That damn Evan Corbyn was playing possum the whole time.

Steve: Oh that is not right.

On the stage medical personal immediately rush out onto to the stage with gear and all and begin to work on Myris. Evan is sitting on his ass looking at Myris with a weird and sick satisfied look on his face. The ref sounds for the bell and calls the match off and just gives Evan the belt.

Candy Peaks: Ladies and gentlemen the ref has decided to throw this match out and award the win by Knockout Evan Corbyn. With out further and do your new Junior Heavyweight Champion is Evan Corbyn.

Myris is placed onto a stretcher and taken off into the curtains for the last time. Backstage he is put into an ambulence and driven off to a local medical fecility.

Phil: This is a sad day in SFT history.

Steve: Folks you've seen it here first in SFT what too much courage can do over not enough brains.

Phil: Thoughts and prayers go out to Myris.

WINNER OFTHIS MATCH: Evan Corbyn

MATCH NUMBER FOUR
Nokio™ vs. Christian Cage™
Hell in a Cell Television Title Match

Steve: Right now it is time for the Television Title match, and I feel this one could steal the show.

Phil: I don’t know, Hell in a Cell does sound good, but African Death Match, I think it could be the better one.

Steve: Well anyway, its time for the repeat of a fortnights match between Cage and Nokio where Cage walked out the new Television Champion.

Phil: Yeah, well it looks like the cage is being lower as we speak.

The cage begins to lower as the lights go out. People scream out in cheers. Suddenly, "Toxicity" by System of a down begins to play. Gold lights flash on and off around the arena and on the stage. Suddenly, Nokio comes out from around the curtain and receives a huge cheer from the capacity crowd. He looks around the arena and then taunts the crowd. He then walks down the gold lighted ramp and when he comes to the bottom, he walks in through the door. He walks around the ring and checks the cage.

Steve: Nokio checking to see that the cage is up to par.

Phil: Well there is no doubt he wants it perfect, he wants some gold back, I guess even if it is the Television Title.

Steve: Yeah.

We cut back to the cage and Nokio slides into the ring and walks around the ring. "Toxicity" fades out. Suddenly the arena is plunged into darkness, except for a gold coloured spotlight shining down on the entranceway. The opening notes of 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' sound over the arena PA system, and the crowd, in recognition on the music, start their traditional chant of 'asshole, asshole'. As Klaus Meine sings the first line of the song, the entranceway is consumed in a breathtaking pyrotechnic display, lasting about 5 seconds. When the pyro dies down, we can see Christian Cage standing under the spotlight with his head bowed, wearing gold framed designer sunglasses the Television Title wrapped around his waist and a sleeveless Systematic 3.0 t-shirt. Cage's manager, Jason Valdez is standing behind his man, dressed in a sharp suit and dark glasses. When the song reaches it's first chorus, Cage throws his head backwards, sending water and sweat spraying everywhere and begins to strut down the ramp as the spotlight follows him and periodic pyro blasts are emitted from units positioned down each side of the aisle.

Steve: Cage looking confident, but should he?

Phil: I don’t know, Nokio may have him beat, but doesn’t Cage always look like that.

Steve: Yeah I guess.

When Cage reaches the cage and looks at Nokio inside. He then walks in through the door and make it to the ring area, he and Valdez climb the steps and Cage enters the ring, holding the ropes open for his manager to do the same. Cage then climbs up each of the four turnbuckles in turn and raises his arms to the crowd, causing the chants of 'asshole, asshole' to grow even louder and reverberate around the arena. When Cage climbs down from the fourth turnbuckle. He hands his sunglasses and title to Valdez and slips his t-shirt over his head, revealing his muscular torso as the lights return to normal and the music fades away. He then meets Nokio in the center of the ring where Cage begins to talk off Nokio. A smile comes over Nokio’s face, and Cage begins to worry. Suddenly, Nokio fires off straight away and begins to throw left and rights at Cage. Cage stumbles back as Nokio sets to ground him with one last punch. He taunts the crowd a little and then goes for it, but Cage ducks Nokio hits nothing. Nokio spins around, and is caught directly into a scoop slam. Nokio gets back up, to Cage’s approval and then sends him down again with a Powerslam.

Steve: Nice slam there by Cage.

Phil: Yeah, but there is a long way to go hopefully.

Steve: Same here.

Back in the ring, Cage lifts up Nokio and sends him to the ropes. He bounces back, and Cage looks to go for a Samoan drop, but Nokio beats him to the punch and clotheslines Cages over the ropes. Nokio then back up, as cage slowly begins to get back up. When Cage gets to his feet, Nokio runs back, bounces off the ropes, comes back and leaps over the top rope, looking for a splash, but Cage catches him, backs up, and fall away slams him into the steel cage behind him. Nokio holds his back in pain, as Cage looks at the damage. He then walks back to the ring, and climbs on to the apron. Nokio slowly gets back to his feet, but is then hit with an elbow to the head. Cage then grabs Nokio and grabs his head. He then begins to grate Nokios head into the cage, as Nokio begins to shed a bit of blood. Nokio falls to the ground as Cage looks around and begins to taunt the crowd to which they boo him. Cage then walks back over to Nokio and lifts him up, but he only gets half way, as Nokio grabs Cage and delivers a jawbreaker. Both fall to the ground. Nokio begins to flap his arms around, as Cage begins to get up slowly. Nokio finally hits the cage, and rolls himself over. He then uses the cage to get him self up. As he does, Cage begins to run at him at full speed. Cage tries to nail Nokio, but Nokio moves out of the way, and Cage hits the cage. Cage stumbles back, as Nokio kicks Cage and then delivers a DDT.

Steve: Nokio looks to be taking over the match now.

Phil: Yeah, but can he keep it up, that is what wins matches.

Steve: Thank you Mister Information.

Phil: Well it is true.

The camera spins around and we see Kris Sage sitting in the front row watching the match with great interest.

Phil: Whats Kris doing?

Steve: Watching the match stupid.

Back to inside the Cage, and Nokio gets up, and walks over to the ring. He stops at the ring, and looks underneath. Suddenly, a trash can comes flying from underneath and a fire extinguisher. Nokio gets up with the fire extinguisher, and when Cage gets back up, he shoots the foam into the eyes of Cage. Nokio then drops the extinguisher, grabs the trash can, and hits Cage with the trash can. Nokio then looks around, and then grabs Cage. He grabs Cage’s head, and rams it through the door of the cage. Cage goes flying on to the ramp. He begins to rub his eyes trying to get rid of the foam, as Nokio looks up to the top of the cage. He then taunts the crowd for him to climb the cage. He gets a huge reaction and begins to climb it. As he does this, Cage slowly begins to get up. Once up, he sees Nokio half way up the cage. Christian then walks over to the cage, but decides to walk into the ring area. He then walks over to the trash can that hit him before and places it into the ring, right in the middle. He then looks up at Nokio who is at the top. He then slides out of the ring and out of the doorway. He then begins to climb the cage, as Nokio just looks on in approval.

Phil: Now this could be ugly. The only way to go after this is down.

Steve: Oh yeah, I hope both these guys know this.

Phil: I think both these guys really don’t care.

Steve: Well they should, they are risking their career.

Back to the cage, and Christian has made it to the top. On the opposite is Nokio, who is taunting for the Dead End. Once Cage is up, Nokio runs at him, age sees this, and runs right at him as well. When they meet, they meet, they both spear each other. They fall to the top of the cage, as the crowd gets excited after that collision. They both lie on top of the cage, motion less. Suddenly, Nokio begins to show some sign of movement, and rolls his body. As he does, his far arm makes the cover. The ref down in the ring makes the count.
1..
2..
Kick out.

Steve: How did he kick out?

Phil: I have no idea. They collected heads, and he kicked out.

Back at the top of the cage, both Nokio and Cage slowly begin to get to their feet. Once then do, Nokio tries to go for a clothesline, but Cage ducks, and delivers a neck breaker. Cage gets back up, as does Nokio who holds the beck of his neck. Cage then looks down to the ring below him, and sees the trash can right beneath him. He sees Nokio, as Nokio turns around, Cage delivers a stiff uppercut. He then grabs Nokio and signals for the Extreme Revolution. He then looks down, and then sets him up, and finally lands the move, as the cage breaks and Nokio and Cage fall from the top of the cage to the mat with Nokio hitting the trash can below. Once again, both lie motionless in the ring, with both breathing heavily, and Nokio bleeding extremely bad. Cage then rolls over on to Nokio and goes for the pin.

Valdez then comes running in from outside the cage and slides into the ring to meet Christian. He then picks up Christian, who can not even stand and raises his arm in victory with the Television Title.

Steve: He did it, he made the pin, he keeps his title.

MATCH NUMBER SIX
Crip™ vs. Blood™
African Deathmatch United States Title Match

A hip hop beat begins to play as the fans stand to their feet in anticipation for the African Deathmatch. Blood and his mannager Blaq step through the curtain, to a steady stream of boos. He shrugs it off and heads for the ring which looks like a deathtrap not a wrestling ring. Steel bear traps are set up around the ring, and the ropes are wrapped in sharp barbed wire. Thumbtacks are scattered all over canvas and a barage of weapons ranging from 2x4's to barbed wire wrapped chairs are floating around somewhere. Bamboo poles surround the apron, each with a flame ignited at the end.

RW: This next match is going to be something else! Look at all this shit this is gonna be a bloodbath, litteraly.

Blood finaly makes it to the ring, where the ref pats him down. After taking not 1 but 3 guns from Blood, "Fuck the Police" hits and the people rise to their feet as Crip makes his way to the ring to a standing ovation.

JC: This is Crip's first match in over a month, and it very well could be his last.

WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Crip

MATCH NUMBER SEVEN
Eliminator™ vs. Sean Lane™
Intercontinental Title Match

Sean Lane and Eliminator begin to circle each other. Lane looks around at the capacity crowd but should not have taken his eyes off of Eliminator as the challenger lays out a distracted champion with a stiff clothesline. Eliminator delivers the boots to "Sweetness" relentlessly until he maneuvers his way to the ropes, causing the break. Lane slides outside of the ring as Brandi comes to comfort him. The two stand outside of the ring as Eliminator taunts the Intercontinental champion from the center of the ring. Lane hops onto the apron and yells back to Eliminator, who just stands in the ring. Lane shakes his head and hops down from the ring and walks over to the timekeeper. He grabs a microphone from the ring announcer.

"Hey, Eliminator, listen to me, punk. From what I understand, this entire Pay Per View is anything goes. If thats the case, why dont you bring your ass to the outside with me and give these people their monies worth."

Eliminator quickly agrees and runs to the outside but is met by a microphone welding Lane. Eliminator hits the floor as Lane returns the boots he felt earlier. Lane picks him up and whips him into the steel ring post. Lane charges in after Eliminator, who falls out of the way. Lanes head slams into the steel and he quickly falls to the floor. Eliminator gets to his feet and looks at the audience. Lane slowly rolls to his knees and hits a turning Eliminator with a desperate low blow. Lane climbs to his feet and throws a slow forearm, which connects with the side of Eliminators skull, and then rolls him back into the ring. Lane slides under the bottom rope and hauls Eliminator to his feet, before nailing him with a kick to the gut, and setting him up for a power bomb. Lane raises his arms to the crowd, but this distraction allows Eliminator to flip Lane over and send him over the top rope and back to the floor. Eliminator climbs out onto the ring apron and nails Lane with a Cactus Jack style elbow drop to the midsection, and then throws the Sweetness over the barrier into the crowd, which by now is reaching fever pitch. Eliminator drills Lane with a pile driver on the concrete floor, and Lanes head can be heard hitting the floor with a sickening crunch. As Eliminator stands up, with his back to the stricken champion, and taunts the crowd, Lane somehow summons up the strength to land another low blow on his challenger, sending Eliminator to his knees.

JC: Dont do that!! That really hurts!!

RW: My junk is hurting!!

Lane uses the safety barrier to haul himself to his feet, and hit a couple of weak stomps to Eliminators midsection, before dragging him to his feet and back into the ringside barrier. Lane sets up his challenger, and starts to drill him with left hands to the skull, opening a cut on Eliminators forehead, which slowly dribbles blood down his face. After five successive shots to the head, Eliminator begins to fire back with some left hands of his own. Eliminator knees Lane in the gut and drops the champion with a stunner like move on the floor. Eliminator slowly picks up the Intercontinental champion and rolls him onto the Spanish announcers table. Almost immediately, Brandi leaps onto the back of Eliminator and begins to choke him. Eliminator struggles with the fire cat on his back until he flips her off his back and onto Lane, who is still positioned on the table, sending both through the announce table!

JC: We need another table!

RW: Yeah, Sean Lane just went through ours.

Eliminator rolled into the ring and is now standing in the center of the ring as he begins to gloat about what he had just done. Kris Sage runs out of the backstage area with the referees and begins to tend to Brandi. She is still knocked out from the blow and no one can revive her. Sage cradles her in his arms as Lane begins to stir. Eliminator reaches down for a microphone.

"Hey, Sage, why dont you stop hitting on Lanes girl and try me out for size. Seems like Lanes done for tonight but I still wanna go. What do you say, rookie?"

Kris Sage looks down at Brandi and Lane, then he gets to his feet and slides into the ring. Both men begin to slug it out with Sage getting the advantage. Sages punches drive Eliminator into the corner and eventually down to the mat. Sage turns from Eliminator and looks for the crowds approval. He turns back around, only to be met with a stiff clothesline from Eliminator. Eliminator quickly picks up Sage and hits the Total Elimination Bomb. Sage lays on the mat, unmoving as Eliminator stands over him. Lane is finally to his feet and as the medics carry Brandi out of the arena, Lane quietly sides into the ring, spins Eliminator around and delivers sharp rights. Lane and Eliminator go back and forth until Lane knees the challenger in the abs. Eliminator doubles over long enough for Lane to lock in and administer a devastating piledriver. He slides over Eliminator for the pin but somehow the challenger kicks out. Lane stands up as Eliminator slowly gets to his feet. Lane walks behind him, waist locks him and delivers a Laneplex.

JC: Theres one Laneplex.

Lane spins Eliminator and hits another.

RW: Two.

JC: Three.

RW: Four, dammit, he is going to break him in half.

JC: Good, after what he did to Brandi, he deserves it.

RW: Hes not that bad.

Lane gets up with Eliminator once again and is going to hit a fifth Laneplex when suddenly, Ace appears in the ring. He grabs Lane, spins him around and lays him out with a Blackjack!!

JC: Ace?!? Ace is back!!

RW: And it seems hes got his head on straight. He just helped out a Foundation member.

Ace looks down at the Intercontinental champion but then looks up at a staggering Eliminator. Eliminator turns around, looks at the damage in the ring and then smiles at the "Wildcard". Ace begins to smile back but that quickly changes when he drops Eliminator also with the Blackjack. Just then, "Boom" erupts throughout the arena as Fireball and Sorik enter the arena and head to the ring. Ace slips out of the ring and hops into the crowd as Fireball and Sorik slide into the ring. Fireball glares at Ace while Sorik rolls Sean Lane onto Eliminator. The referee is looking at the four men, bewildered. Fireball turns around and tells the referee to count. The referee begins to count when Damion Xavier and Damien Sparks appear out of the backstage and slide into a brawl with Fireball and Sorik. The referee continues to count and the three count is registered.

RW: What the hell?

JC: Seems that Lane has retained the title but the bigger story is the Elite and Foundation battling it out in the ring.

RW: Eliminator was screwed! Fireball screwed him!

JC: How? Ace is the one who put him out.

RW: But...but...

As Ace is making his way up the rampway we see a man come out to meet him.

JC: Is that...its Jeff Savage, Jeff Savage is back!!!!!!!!

RW: No way!

JC: Way, maybe the Regulators will reunite

No soon is that said that Jeff Savage blindsides Ace with a superkick to the face and left down and out, as Jeff Savage lets Ace and SFT that he is indeed back in SFT.

Jeff Savage leave to a huge crowd response

RW: Incredible. The former World Champ just layed out a fellow Regulator.

JC: Well the World title match is next.

"Shoots and Ladders" by Korn breaks out in the arena , as SFT Owner Shadow walks out to mixed reaction of mostly boos. He walks down to the ring where he then slides in. He walks over to Glenn and they give each other a hand shake. Shadow then grabs a mic from his pants and looks down at Fox.

Shadow: Fox, I gave you everything. Dead Pac, title shots, everything, and this is how you repay me, the desire to eliminate your own fallen. Fox, I had so much planned for you, but your own hatred for the one man known as Glenn Owen has broken you. You left us Fox, and that was purely your own fault. But Fox, no matter how many times you leave us, you can be replaced. Fox, you thought you were something to this group, but Fox, your hatred has left you with nothing, has left you taken over by one man.

JC: What is going on?

RW: I have no idea, I think Shadow is saying he has a new Angel or something.
