[FWF]

The New Direction video package airs. After it fades out, “Sparkle and Shine” by Econoline Crush plays, signalling the start of the show. The camera moves around the arena, showing the screaming fans. It then shows the commentary team of Sam Strachon and Linda Myles.

STRACHON: Welcome to a very special edition of Live-Wire. We are live from Washington, DC.

MYLES: Special edition is right, Sam. To compensate for Stampede TV being down, we have thrown together an interpromotional show.

STRACHON: Wrestlers from both Live-Wire and MNR will be in action tonight.

MYLES: We have an amazing main event for you tonight.

STRACHON: Depending on which way you look at it.

MYLES: A dream match featuring the Iron Man champion, Matthew “the Raven” Knox.

STRACHON: And his opponent in his last Live-Wire match... Camisado.

MYLES: Live-Wire will host an FWF Women’s championship match as Jasmine defends her belt against Katherine Brown.

STRACHON: The World Heavyweight champion will also be in action as he takes on The Keg in a non-title bout.

MYLES: But before that, we have a tag team match. Let’s take it to Simon Jenkins.

"You Know You're Right" by Nirvana begins to hit the arena's speakers as the packed crowd roar and rise to their feet. With clear confidence in the style of his walk, The Predator proudly makes his way out from behind the curtain. As he makes his way down the aisle, green and gold fireworks go off behind him, forming the shapes of an eagle and a tiger before he pauses and points behind him when, to the amazement of the crowd, a red, white and blue eagle is formed at the top of the ramp by even more fireworks. Kindly acknowledging the excited crowd, The Predator hops into the ring and awaits his opponent.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...from the Eyrie, England ...weighing in at 267 pounds ...The Predator!

A dark, red light surrounds the arena as “All My Life” by Foo Fighters plays. After a moment, Dan Taylor enters the arena to a huge ovation. He begins to walk down the ramp, stopping half way. He drops to his knees as a range of fireworks explode from the titantron.

JENKINS: And his partner ...from Manchester, England ...weighing in at 245 pounds ...Dan “Dragon” Taylor!

The fireworks finish and Dan stands, continuing his journey. He strolls up the ring steps and ascends the turnbuckle from the outside, raising his arms. He then hops down into the ring where he shakes The Predator’s hand. He takes off his leather jacket and sunglasses and hands them to a member of the ring crew.

JENKINS: And they are ...The Lost Heroes!

STRACHON: The fans love ‘em... and I do too.

MYLES: Of course, The Predator making his name in UCW, the place that made you famous, Sam.

"I Am" by Dale Oliver hits the arena as James Bohne, cheesily grinning struts out with the "United States" Championship glistening over his right shoulder. By his side is Couch Potato. The two of the walk down the ramp and enter the ring to a booing crowd.

JENKINS: And their opponents ...representing Monday Night Rampage ...the team of Couch Potato and the FWF US champion, James Bohne ...The Phenomenals!

The bell sounds and Dan starts things off with Couch. The two of them lock up and straight away, Dan takes Couch into a standing armbar. From this position, Dan circles under Couch’s left arm, getting him into a wristlock. He bends the arm, applying a hammerlock.

MYLES: Dan Taylor is arguably the best technical wrestler in FWF.

STRACHON: With his partner being another.

MYLES: I don’t think Couch will be able to compete.

Couch struggles. He elbows Dan in the side of the head with his free arm. He then pulls Dan’s arm around and applies a wristlock of his own. Couch looks proud of himself. He turns to James and smiles and James claps him. Dan then rolls out. He then rolls onto his back and nips up before countering Couch’s move, getting Couch in a wristlock.

MYLES: I think Couch is outmatched in terms of technicality.

Dan takes Couch into a hammerlock and then immediately jumps forward into a headlock. Couch begins to elbow Dan in the stomach. He pushes Dan into the ropes and Dan comes back with a shoulder tackle. He bounces off the ropes and Couch gets up. Couch leapfrogs.

STRACHON: Picking up the pace here.

Couch goes for a clothesline, but Dan ducks. Dan then runs back with a running knee. Couch gets up and runs at Dan, but Dan executes the armdrag. James gets in the ring and runs at Dan, but Dan hits a hiptoss. James rolls out of the ring as Couch stands up. Dan lifts him up and drops him with a bodyslam. He then bounces off the ropes and hits a running falling headbutt as the crowd cheer.

STRACHON: The Dragon is back, Linda.

MYLES: This is Dan’s first match since February. So far so good.

Dan covers. ...1 ...2. Couch kicks out. Dan picks Couch up and tags in Predator. The two Irish-whip Couch. Predator kneels down as Dan lifts Couch in the air and drops him with a flapjack onto Predator’s knee. Dan gets out of the ring as Couch tags James in.

MYLES: Here comes the U...S champ.

STRACHON: I don’t know who I want to win more.

Predator and James go to lock up, but James kicks Predator in the stomach. He raises his arms as the crowd boo. He then bounces off the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Predator ducks it and hooks James from behind in a waistlock. Predator then nails a German Suplex.

MYLES: The Lost Heroes have been found, Sam!

Predator tags Dan in. Dan comes in and picks James up. He gets him into a wristlock and then Irish-whips him into the corner. Dan walks towards James, but James hits a drop-toe-hold, forcing Dan’s head to hit the second turnbuckle.

MYLES: Ouch.

STRACHON: That’s how you stop a guy in his tracks.

James hooks Dan from behind in a waistlock position. He then hits a German Suplex. He gets up and points at Predator, and then at Dan. James begins to stomp Dan. Dan tries to get up, but James hooks his head and plants him with a DDT.

STRACHON: Haha... who’s the DDT kid now?

MYLES: I thought you wanted him to win.

STRACHON: No... I want Predator to win.

MYLES: But that... then... I... Gah, I give up on you.

James tags Couch in. Couch goes straight into the cover. ...1 ...2. Dan kicks out. Couch picks him up and Irish-whips him. When Dan bounces back, Couch hits him with a huge clothesline. He covers again. ...1 ...2. Dan kicks out.

STRACHON: Couchie’s really showing Dan how it’s done.

Couch grabs Dan and picks him up. He then Irish-whips him into the Phenomenal’s corner. He runs at Dan, hitting with a splash. He then tags in James. James grabs Dan and pulls him out of the corner. He then hits him with a European Uppercut, taking him down to the mat.

MYLES: Dan Taylor is really being dominated in this match, Sam.

STRACHON: That’s because he started off on top. If you’re at the top, there’s only one direction you can go... down!

James raises his arms as the crowd boo. He shakes his head and picks Dan up, Irish-whipping him into a free corner. He grabs Dan and lifts him up, sitting him on the top turnbuckle. He then climbs up with Dan and hooks his head.

MYLES: Looks like he’s going for a superplex.

Dan begins to punch James in the gut. He then delivers a range of headbutts to James’ head. Dan hits James with a hard chop, knocking him off the top rope. Dan then adjusts himself, standing up on the top. The crowd cheer as Dan leaps off, hitting the Diving Headbutt.

MYLES: Diving Headbutt!

STRACHON: Shades of the great Dynamite Kid. It’s been so long since we’ve seen that.

MYLES: Both men are down.

...1 ...2 ...3. They both begin to move. ...4 ...5 ...6. James gets to one knee as Dan reaches out for Predator. ...7 ...8 ...9. James grabs Dan’s leg, stopping him from making the tag. With James holding onto his leg, Dan stands up. He hops for a bit, and then jumps up with an enziguri. Dan tags in Predator.

MYLES: The Predator is back in the match!

James gets up and runs Predator, but Predator hits a big back body drop. Couch gets into the ring and runs at Predator, but receives a big boot for his trouble. Couch rolls to the outside. James gets up and walks towards Predator who lifts him and drops him with a sidewalk slam.

MYLES: The third inductee into the Hall of Fame is proving why he deserves that spot.

Predator begins to wind up his arm to the crowd’s approval. He goes for the Wing Attack, but James ducks. James goes for a clothesline, but Predator blocks, grabbing his arm. Predator hooks James’ head as Dan comes into the ring and grabs him in a front face lock position. Predator then hits a variation of the armbreaker stunner as Dan hits the Impaler DDT.

MYLES: What a double team!

STRACHON: I believe they call that the The Super Duper Mega Cool Double Team Move of Awesomeness.

On the outside of the ring, Couch stands up. Dan grabs the top rope and uses it for elevation as he jumps over the top rope with a crossbody plancha. Predator covers James. ...1 ...2 ...3.

JENKINS: The winners of the match ...the team of The Predator and Dan “Dragon” Taylor ...the Lost Heroes!

STRACHON: Yes! The Predator won.

MYLES: What a way to open up the show.

STRACHON: And what a way to return to Live-Wire. What a great match.

MYLES: This is the New Direction of FWF!

STRACHON: James and Couch will get back to the B-show while we take a commercial break. Don’t go anywhere!

[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome back to Live-Wire.

MYLES: The dust is settling from that last match... and while it does, we have another one for you.

STRACHON: MNR’s Phantom is up next. I can’t wait for this.

MYLES: Fan of the Phantom are you?

STRACHON: Anyone who can repeatedly make the seven foot Joe Stall look like a midget is okay in my books.

MYLES: Not a Joe Stall fan then.

STRACHON: Are you kidding? He’s one of the reasons why UCW went out of business.

Eric comes out from behind the stage holding his guitar and playing along to the song. At a high point in the song, fireworks go off all around the stage. Taking off the guitar, Eric walks down to the ring, pointing to some of the fans in the crowd, playing to the fans. Placing the guitar near the commentators desk, he slides under the ropes and goes to each turnbuckle, throwing up the horns to the crowd. Finding a fan holding up a sign supporting him, he throws them his "Rock On" hat.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...weighing in at 210 pounds ...Eric “Hard Rock” Stuart!

MYLES: This guy seems quite popular.

STRACHON: It’s all about first impressions, Linda. If a nobody comes out acting like a somebody, then the idiots here will believe him.

A woman screams as the entire arena goes dark, and the song "Meet the Creeper" by Rob Zombie starts to play over the speakers. The video shows an ethereal figure walking towards the screen in a dark background. Smoke starts to fill the arena as a bright light from under the stage glows brighter until its almost impossible to see the Phantom rising from under the stage, leaving only his silhouette. The Phantom raises his hands as the entire arena goes a bright white as the song's chorus begins. White fireworks shoot upwards in random directions as the Phantom runs down to the ring, sliding under the ropes and standing up. Once inside the ring, the Phantom looks around the arena at the people there, nodding to some of the fans before going to his corner or watching for his opponent to come down to the ring.

JENKINS: And his opponent, representing Monday Night Rampage ...The Phantom!

The bell sounds. The two men go to lock up, but Phantom stops and pulls back, surveying the newcomer. He then slaps Eric in the face. Eric turns, holding his face. He turns back to Phantom and goes for a right hand, but Phantom ducks. Phantom then hits a dropkick to Eric’s left leg.

STRACHON: That’s it. Make him look like a fool.

Phantom bounces off the ropes. He goes for a clothesline, but Eric ducks. Phantom bounces back, but is cut off by a dropkick. Phantom gets up and runs at Eric, but Eric lifts him up and slams him to the mat with a spinebuster.

MYLES: I liked the sound of that music.

STRACHON: That was a terrible innuendo.

As Phantom is getting up, Eric bounces off the ropes. He then comes back, hitting Phantom with a swinging neckbreaker. He begins to fire up and with the crowd cheering, Eric climbs to the top rope. He jumps off with a moonsault, but Phantom moves out of the way and Stuart hits the mat.

STRACHON: He crashed and burned with that one.

MYLES: At least what I say isn’t clichéd.

Phantom begins to stomp away at Eric. As he is getting up, Phantom bounces off the ropes. He then plants Eric with a bulldog. ...1 ...2. Eric kicks out. Phantom gets up and stomps Stuart again. He does this repeatedly until the referee pulls Phantom away.

STRACHON: I think Phantom’s angry, Linda.

MYLES: Judging from MNR the past month or so, he has a problem controlling his temper.

Phantom picks Eric up. He Irish-whips him, but Eric counters, sending Phantom into the ropes. Phantom bounces back and Eric goes for a big boot, but Phantom ducks and Eric hits the referee.

MYLES: Referee down!

As Eric tries to help the referee up, Phantom gets outside the ring and grabs Eric’s guitar. He then brings it back into the ring. Eric turns around and Phantom swings the guitar into Eric’s head, knocking him out.

MYLES: Oh my God!

STRACHON: Brilliant. And look, the referee’s getting up.

Phantom covers Eric. ...1 ...2. He pulls Eric’s shoulder off the mat. He smiles as the crowd boo. Phantom picks Eric up and raises him into the torture rack position. He then nails the Exorcism Slam. All of a sudden, “Real American” by Rick Derringer plays and the crowd jump out of their seats.

MYLES: Oh my! Could it be?

STRACHON: Please tell me it isn’t.

MYLES: This is the capital of America, Sam. It looks like we’re going to get an appearance from the most patriotic member of FWF.

After a moment, “Commissioner” Joe Stall makes his way out in the arena. With the crowd cheering, he walks down the ramp. As he gets into the ring, Phantom gets out. The referee begins to count him out. ...1 ...2 ...3. Stall gets out of the ring. ...4 ...5 ...6. He begins to chase Phantom up the ramp and backstage. ...7 ...8 ...9 ...10. The bell sounds.

JENKINS: The winner of the match as a result of a count out ...Eric “Hard Rock” Stuart!

STRACHON: What!? No! No! No! No! No!

MYLES: Yes, Sam. Yes!

STRACHON: That’s just not fair!

MYLES: Fair or not, Eric Stuart is victorious ...and this crowd love it.

STRACHON: I love your mother.

MYLES: What the hell was that?

STRACHON: It’s the best I could come up with.

MYLES: Speaking of mothers, one person was involved in a car crash and as a result is not a mother, Katherine Brown... and...

STRACHON: Wait a minute. I’m high on controversy, but you can’t say that.

MYLES: Yeah. It probably was a bit too far. Sorry.

STRACHON: So you should be.

MYLES: Regardless, Katherine Brown may not have a baby, but she has a chance to get a title when...

STRACHON: That’s it. I’m reporting you to Mark Briggs. The DOA won’t be happy.

MYLES: It’s Katherine Brown versus Jasmine ...when we return.

[FWF]

The scene cuts backstage to show David Calaz and Jordan Glass walking down the hallway. Halfway down, they are stopped by Sah'ta Thor and Jason Fall of Empire of Blood, who are both holding their US tag team titles over their shoulders.

THOR: So. You’re the new tag team to Live-Wire then. Serafin?

CALAZ: That’s right.

THOR: We just thought it was our duty to come and meet you so we know what sort of competition we have. By the looks of things, we don’t have any. The way I see it, Empire of Blood are the greatest tag team... not just on Live-Wire, but in FWF.

CALAZ: Is that a fact?

PROZAC: Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah.

The camera turns around to show The Meds, Rob Prozac and Bert Ritalin. The two of them walk towards EoB and Serafin, holding their FWF tag titles.

PROZAC: You think you’re the best tag team in FWF? I disagree. He disagrees. They disagree and the fans sure disagree.

THOR: It’s not about the fans.

STRACHON: He’s right there.

PROZAC: It’s not about the fans, he says.

RITALIN: It’s not about the fans?

PROZAC: Of course it’s about the fans. And as far as the fans go, I think we are the greatest tag team in history.

Suddenly, one of the hallway doors in which the three tag teams are standing in front of opens to show Dan “Dragon” Taylor and The Predator stood there listening.

DRAGON: Hold up there, skipper. Now I don’t know if any of you were watching, but earlier tonight, myself and Predator here beat James Bohne and Couch Potato.

PROZAC: Who hasn’t?

PREDATOR: He’s got a point.

DRAGON: Right, right, right. Okay, to be perfectly honest, I’ve got better things to do than to argue over who the greatest tag team in FWF is at the moment. The Lost Heroes have only had one match up to now, so I’ll hold my hand up and say we’re not the best ...yet.

CALAZ: Damn right you’re not.

DRAGON: So the two of us are just gonna head to our locker room and watch the rest of the show. I’ve got some scouting for my Collision team to be done. However, we’ll leave you with two guys who think they’re the best.

Dan and Predator walk down the hallway and off the camera. The Meds, Serafin and EoB stare at each other when all of a sudden, Sausage and Bean of the Breakfast Table peer around the door with two large grins on their face.

MYLES: Oh, God.

STRACHON: It’s the Breakfast Table! UCW’s own Sausage and Bean.

MYLES: And former FWF Tag Team champions.

BEAN: He’s Sausage. I’m Bean... We’re mean and lean and keen.

SAUSAGE: We’ll hit you hard and break your legs... using bacon, toast and fried eggs.

BEAN: We’ll break a plate over your heads...

PROZAC: But we will make you take your meds.

Thor, Fall, David Calaz and Jordan Glass all shake their head and walk off leaving Prozac, Ritalin, Sausage and Bean. The two remaining tag teams stare down as the scene switches back into the arena.

STRACHON: What the hell was that all about, Linda?

MYLES: I have no idea, Sam, but one thing is for sure. We’ll find out who the better team out of The Meds and the Breakfast Table at Sunday Night ShowDown!.

STRACHON: Absolutely right. Sausage and Bean of UCW will challenge MNR’s Prozac and Ritalin for the FWF Tag Team championships.

MYLES: The fans will vote for the stipulation. Log onto www.fantasywrestling.2ya.com to cast your vote.

STRACHON: Will it be a UCW classic... a wedgie match?

MYLES: No wonder you went out of business.

STRACHON: Will it be a Fish on a Pole match? Or will it be a good old food fight?

MYLES: Vote now!

STRACHON: I tell you something; if this is the New Direction, then I’m turning myself around and running for the sake of my own sanity.

JENKINS: The following Monday Night Rampage guest match scheduled is for one fall and is for the Fantasy Wrestling Federation Women’s championship. Introducing first...

The arena goes dark. As the music begins softly there is an eerie red glow at the top of the ramp. A silhouette appears in the glow as a shower of glitter falls. Jasmine steps out with a sinister smile curved on her lips as she stops and glances at the crowd from one side of the room to the other before she struts down the ramp to the ring, her hips swaying in perfect time to the music.

JENKINS: The FWF Women’s champion …Jasmine!

"Rockstar" by Nickelback plays as Katherine Brown enters the arena. She begins to walk down the ramp, slapping the hands of fans’ as she goes to a huge ovation.
She then climbs into the ring.

JENKINS: And introducing her opponent …Katherine Brown!

Katherine begins to clap as the two wrestlers circle the ring. The crowd join in the clapping and the bell sounds. Katherine and Jasmine lock up. After back and forth struggling, Jasmine is able to take Brown into the corner. She goes for a right hand, but Katherine ducks.

STRACHON: The challenger dodging a bullet.

Katherine comes back with rights and lefts. She then Irish-whips Jasmine into the opposite corner and runs at her, hitting a splash. Jasmine stumbles out and Katherine lifts her up and slams her down to the mat with a spinebuster.

STRACHON: Remember Katherine lost the belt to Jasmine in a cage match at MNR’s Nightmare pay per view.

MYLES: And you’ve gotta think Brown wants that title back.

Katherine covers. …1 …Jasmine kicks out. Katherine grabs her and picks her up. She Irish-whips her, but Jasmine counters, sending Brown into the ropes. Brown bounces back, but Jasmine cuts her off with a roundhouse kick. She covers. …1. Katherine kicks out.

STRACHON: Couldn’t keep the former champ down with that.

MYLES: Former and possible future.

Jasmine stomps Katherine. She then allows Brown to get to her feet before grabbing her by the neck. Jasmine executes a hard chokeslam and goes straight into the cover. …1 …Katherine kicks out. Jasmine picks Brown up and sends her into the corner. Jasmine charges at her with a clothesline, but Katherine ducks.

MYLES: This could be the opening Katherine’s looking for.

Katherine bounces off the ropes as Jasmine stumbles out of the corner. Katherine then connects with a big boot. Jasmine gets up and runs at Brown, but Katherine executes a sidewalk slam. She winds up her arm and awaits Jasmine to get to her feet. In doing so, Katherine bounces off the ropes and nails the Clothesline from Hell. She covers. …1 …2 ...3.

JENKINS: The winner of the match …and new FWF Women’s champion …Katherine Brown!

MYLES: Katherine Brown has just picked up her third women’s championship reign.

Jasmine slowly gets out of the ring and heads backstage as the referee hands Brown her new belt. She celebrates for a moment with the crowd cheering before making her way to the back.

MYLES: What a great night it’s been tonight.

STRACHON: And things can only get better. The World Heavyweight champion is in action tonight.

MYLES: And if you think tonight’s been great, we’ve already been informed of our main event next week on Live-Wire.

STRACHON: That’s right. DOA Mark Briggs sent us the news through our headsets.

MYLES: We are going to have a triple threat tag team match for the United States tag team championships.

STRACHON: Already confirmed for that match are the current champions, Empire of Blood.

MYLES: And two of the men they had a confrontation with earlier tonight, David Calaz and Jordan Glass: Serafin.

STRACHON: Don’t miss Live-Wire next week… right here on Stampede TV.

MYLES: Still to come tonight: In Camisado’s farewell Live-Wire match… he will take on Matthew “The Raven” Knox.

STRACHON: But before that, it’s Pain versus The Keg… when we return.

[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome back to Live-Wire.

MYLES: We are just about ready for our World Heavyweight champion.

STRACHON: Damn right we are.

MYLES: And he will be up against the Keg. Of course, Keg being one of FWF's newer wrestlers...

STRACHON: Which means Pain is going to beat him senseless.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first...

"Can You Hear Me Knockin'?" by Rolling Stones plays. The Keg enters the arena. He is about to walk to the ramp, when all of a sudden, Pain comes from behind and hits Keg in the back of the head with the world title.

MYLES: Oh, what the hell?

STRACHON: It's Pain!

MYLES: Pain has just attacked the Keg.

Pain grabs Keg and picks him up. He then Irish-whips him into the steel steps. He pulls him up to his feet and bangs his head against the apron before rolling him into the ring, and then getting him himself. Keg slowly gets up and Pain hits him with a low blow.

MYLES: Low Blow!

STRACHON: God bless wrestling. People can legally attack people.

MYLES: FWF is supposed to be about respect. That belt is about respect. Pain is a disgrace to it all.

STRACHON: I'll disgrace your mother.

MYLES: Will you shut up about my mother!

Pain smiles as the crowd boo. He shouts at the referee and out of fear, the bell sounds. Pain then nails THE Superkick before covering. ...1 ...2 ...3. Pain laughs and snatches the microphone from ring announcer, Simon Jenkins.

PAIN: Dan! Dan! Listen to me. I have just proved why the older generation of FWF is the better. Now... I want on your Collision team. I want an answer and I want it at Sunday Night ShowDown!!

Pain drops the microphone. He grabs his title and heads backstage as the crowd boo. EMT's rush to the ring to assist Keg.

STRACHON: We'll take a quick commercial break while EMT's clear up what's left of the Keg, and when we return, our main event!

[FWF]

MYLES: Welcome back to this special interpromotional Live-Wire!

STACHON: It's now time for the main event!

The opening to Amon Amarth's "Cry of the Blackbirds" rings out, and the houselights shut off completely. A slight mist begins to pour down from the rafters, the fans scream in anticipation, then the lights turn back on, in a dim blue. A fog rises around the entrance ramp, and Matthew "The Raven" Knox steps out onto the entrance ramp. He runs from side, to the other, screaming out to the fans. He then makes his way leisurely down the ramp, slapping some hands, when he gets in the ring, he jumps onto the second rope, and raises one hand in the air to the fans, the mist stops, and the lights come up as he gets off the ropes. He then takes off his trench coat, and tosses it to the outside, leans against a turnbuckle, and waits for the start of the match.

JENKINS: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Monterey, California ...weighing 237 pounds ...he is the FWF Iron Man champion, Matthew “The Raven” Knox!

"Wake Up" by Lostprophets hits the P.A. System. Orange spotlights aimlessly search the arena, soon making their way to the wall opposite the entrance. They go up the wall and form letters, spelling out "Something That Produces Results". After the main guitar riff at the beginning ends, Camisado jumps out from behind the entrance as seventeen orange pyros shoot off from behind him. During the first verse, Camisado jogs down the entrance ramp, though only moving an inch or so with each step, moving along with the beat. As he walks down, more orange pyros on each side of the ramp shoot off, simultaneous with his steps. He then circles the ring, more pyros still following him. As the main chorus comes on, he makes his way around to the front of the ring, closest to the ramp. He slides into the ring and begins running back and forth, bouncing off the ropes. During the rest of the song, he pulls himself up to two opposite turnbuckles and grins out towards the crowd, mouthing various lines to the crowd's approval on his way back to the ring floor.

JENKINS: And the opponent ...currently residing in Dayton, Ohio ...weighing 184 pounds ...he is the New Cancer, Camisado!

The bell rings. Knox and Cam shake hands, then begin circling each other. They lock up, and Raven backs Cam into the corner. He relinquishes his grip, and allows Cam back into the centre of the ring. Knox goes for another lockup, but Cam dives behind him and lands a back body drop. He goes for a quick cover. ...1. Knox kicks out.

MYLES: You can’t win a match so early on!

STRACHON: Still, it was worth a try, Myles! But Matt Knox is right on his game tonight!

Both men get quickly to their feet, and come face to face with each other in the centre of the ring. They stare each other down, and Cam goes for a punch, but Raven blocks it and kicks him in the gut. He then plants Cam with a DDT.

STRACHON: Told you, Myles! The Raven is in the zone!

Knox goes for the cover. ...1 ...2. Cam kicks out. Raven picks Cam up and whips him off the ropes. Cam stops himself, and Raven charges at him, but Cam ducks and pulls the ropes, sending Raven flying to the outside.

MYLES: That’s one way to stop the momentum!

Cam stands up, and climbs to the top. He then flies off, nailing Raven with a cross body block. He then struggles to his feet, and raises his arms in the air. He then picks Raven up and whips him into the guard rail. Cam charges at Raven, but is caught and sent into the rail himself.

STRACHON: That had to hurt!

MYLES: Let’s see if Camisado can get back into this!

Raven picks Cam up, and rolls him back into the ring. He then slides in himself and makes the cover. ...1 ...2. Cam manages to get his foot on the ropes, and the referee stops the count. Raven then picks Cam up, and positions him on the top rope.

MYLES: What’s Raven doing here?

STRACHON: He might be looking for the Talons!

Briggs: The match will be over if he hits that! That move is BRUTAL!

As Raven walks over to Cam, he is kicked in the face, and sent reeling backwards. Cam then stands up on the top rope and nails Raven with a missile dropkick. He then scrambles over to Knox, grabbing his legs for the Last Resort.

STRACHON: This could be the end here! If Camisado can lock in the Last Resort, it’s over!

As Cam bends down, Raven nails him with an uppercut. He then gets to his feet, and charges at Cam, taking him down with a spear. He then quickly flips Cam over and locks on an STF. Cam tries to grab the ropes, but is too far away.

MYLES: We could see a submission here! Matt Knox has that STF locked on tight, and Camisado has nowhere to go!

Cam twists around, trying to throw Knox off him, but it isn’t working. He tries to reach for the ropes one more time, and begins inching closer. Reaching out, he brushes the ropes with his fingertips, but Knox applies more pressure. Cam then uses all his strength to roll through the ropes, sending both men to the outside.

STRACHON: Well, that’s one way to break the hold...

Both men lay on the floor as the referee begins to count them out. ...1 ...2 ...3. Camisado begins stirring. ...4 ...5. Cam uses the guard rail to get himself to his feet as Raven begins to stir. ...6 ...7. Cam rolls wearily into the ring as Raven gets to his feet. ...8. “The” Ross Walker runs out from the crowd and grabs Raven, sending him into the steel steps. The bell rings.

MYLES: What the hell?

STRACHON: Ross Walker! Damn him!

Ross then slides into the ring and grabs Cam. He sends Cam into the ropes, and spears him to the floor. He waits for Cam to get to his feet, and then kicks him in the gut. He then nails the Depth Charge, to a rousing chorus of boos. He raises his arms high in the air.

STRACHON: Ross Walker just ruined a damn good match!

MYLES: And unfortunately, we're out of time here on Live-Wire. Alongside Sam Strachon, I'm Linda Myles, and be sure to tune in next week!
