Dark Match
J2K vs. Draven

J2K is out first, as usual, soaking up the cheers from the fans... which, of course, is nil. Shrugging his shoulders, he leans up against the ropes, waiting for newcomer, Draven, to make his way out.

The newcomer is out soon, where he wastes no time in locking up with J2K and immediately taking him down with a mixture of headlock takedowns, armdrags and hip-tosses; all of which annoy J2K, who slaps the mat in anger.

Trying to gain an upperhand, J2K furiously leaps at Draven, only to have Draven side-step the attack, resulting in J2K smashing chest-first against the turnbuckle pads. Taking advantage of this, Draven dropkicks J2K's back, sending him back against the pads and rolling him up with a schoolboy, getting a two-count.

Luckily for J2K, he is able to reach up and grab onto the bottom rope, stopping the count; but that doesn't stop Draven's advances. Soon, Draven hits a huracanrana, a Tornado DDT, and even one of his trademark moves -- "Holy Shit!"

With nowhere for J2K to run to, Draven lays him out in the center of the ring with the "Breaking Point", following that up by climbing to the top turnbuckle. Seconds later, Draven flies off, hitting "Hollywood Suicide", impressing the fans in attendance. Draven then nonchalantly rolls onto J2K and hooks his left leg, going for a cover...

...1...2...3!

Draven gets the easy victory, rolls out of the ring and celebrates on his way to the back. J2K, meanwhile, still lays prone in the ring, down and out from Draven's attack.

Winner: Draven



White noise.

The arena goes dark, with the audience suddenly lit by a flash of light across the big screen. Video suddenly comes alive, showing Vincent Kane in a NEWA ring. An announcer yells over the crowd noise from the video.

El Generico: ...Vincent Kane is here in NEWA!

Another flash of light obliterates the image, skipping the video to another point, where Vincent is sneering over the NEWA audience.

Vincent Kane: ...you're all wondering what I could be doing here in an NEWA ring. Trust me, it isn't to compete.

Another flash of light, and crowd noise suddenly shifting to boos on the video, as the SW audience seems transfixed by the video.

Vincent Kane: Here in NEWA, you have a roster filled with new guys and seasoned vets alike. Yet, they can't seem to be able to cut it in the big show.

Another flash, as the video seems to slow, Vincent's voice growing deeper with the slow-down.

Vincent Kane: I don't plan on breaking my morals...I do plan on breaking Billy Badson AT SHADOWS OF DEFEAT!

The video suddenly speeds back up, flashes of light flickering between shots, showing Billy Badson climbing into the ring, and then Kane and Badson staring eye to eye in the middle of the ring, audience screaming "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!" on a loop behind the images. Suddenly, the video tints red as Kane throws a cheap shot punch at Badson. Another flash of light, and Badson blocks a punch from Kane. The light rises in frequency to almost a strobe like pulse, showing Badson choking out Kane, Badson's fist raised in the center of the ring, the NEWA audience on their feet.

And then one final clip, back to Kane on his feet again, bringing the microphone to his lips.

Vincent Kane: Billy Badson...I CHALLENGE YOU TO A SUBMISSION MATCH AT SHADOWS OF DEFEAT!

His words dance in print across the big screen, before fading out totally to darkness along with the video. Blasts of static feedback and light flare across the screen and sound system, with each word displayed for a moment across the big screen.

White noise fills the screen until flashes of Chris Extreme standing in front of a camera are shown. He's wearing the same things he was wearing at Revelations, including the steel chair that remains wrapped around his skull, and the filthy clothes that appear they haven't been washed in weeks. He soon begins to talk.

"Hello, everyone, I am Chris Extreme. Welcome to my show. That's right, I said MY show. Corey Page can eat my dick. Fuck you, Corey Page, I will ruin you; just like how you ruined me!"

A voice can be heard from behind the camera, "Uh, Chris, can we hurry this up?"

Chris replies, "Don't fucking rush me, you prick, you faggot. I'll kill you. Tonight, I make an announcement about Corey Page and I... I have my own revelation of my own. And Tony Millennia won't be able to ruin this because I'll make sure that asshole is forced to retire tonight! Corey Page, tonight, you will find out that I have a special surprise for you."

The voice behind the camera speaks again, "Uh, is Corey Page even here yet?"

The questioning incites Chris Extreme;"You asshole! Don't question me! I'll kill you!"

Grabbing a beer bottle, he bashes it against the wall, breaking it in half and threatens to attack the cameraman with it. The feed then cuts out.

Singles Match
Shane Donovan vs. Snoop Jackson

"Reduced to Teeth" by Finch begins to play as Shane Donovan makes his way to the ring, ignoring the standard pagentry that comes with wrestling entrances, as he slides into the ring.

"PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME!!!!

PLEASE HAVE A LITTLE MERCY ON ME!

The verse begins as Snoop Jackson confidently emerges from behind the curtain, with "Say Hey There" by Atmosphere playing in the background, slowly making his way toward the ring, to the loud cheers of "Snoop" echoing from the crowd. He jumps onto the ring apron and raises his arms, signalling the crowd to get louder. Snoop enters into the ring and the crowd rises to its feet, as he climbs the nearest corner and shouts to the crowd...

Snoop Jackson: What's my name?!

The crowd quickly replies.

Crowd: SNOOP!

Snoop then dismounts the turnbuckle, takes the cross from around his neck, and places it squarely in the referee's hand. He goes to his corner and begins to warm up, waiting for the match to start.

The bell sounds and Shane Donovan wastes no time charging in and tackling Snoop Jackson to the ground. Seemingly more stunned than hurt, Snoop raises his arms up in defense as Shane attempts to work around him with punches, but to no avail; as he goes for the straight choke. The ref counts it, and on four, Shane releases and then steps up off Snoop, who lays on the ground trying to catch his breath.

After taking a few steps around the ring, Shane heads back over to Snoop, who is slowly trying to get his feet; however, Shane quickens the process and lifts him up by the hair and then whips him into the ropes. On the return, Shane is prepared to land a back body drop, but Snoop is able to counter it with a kick and running shoulder tackle which takes both men down to the mat.

Shane, being merely dazed, begins getting up almost immediately, with Snoop not far behind him. Up first, Shane lands a hard forearm to the back and then quickly uses the advantage to slam Snoop's head into the mat with a hard snap-DDT. Not wasting any time, Shane pops back to his feet and bounces off the ropes, coming down across Snoop's throat with a hard elbow drop and stays on top for the cover.

...1...2...

Snoop kicks out just before the three, but Shane doesn't seem surprised.

He rises back to his feet, while Snoop uses the opportunity to roll outside of the ring and get his head back into the match. Listening to the praise from the crowd, Snoop loses focus of Donovan, who sees this as nothing but an advantage. Using the ropes, Shane springboards himself off the top rope, landing a solid body splash onto Snoop; both men hit the ground hard, with Snoop's head bouncing off the guardrail.

Shane is slow to get up, but when he does, he forces Snoop to his feet and slides him back into the ring to avoid the countout. Rather than entering himself, Shane climbs to the top turnbuckle and waits, waiting for Snoop to get to his feet. The ref begins counting Shane to get off the ropes, but Shane argues back with him for a moment and the ref seems to lose count. Between all of this, Snoop gets to his feet and Shane dives off the turnbuckle, hitting a hard flying-forearm that knocks Snoop back halfway across the ring. Shane gets to his feet quickly and runs over, trying for a three...

...1...2...

Snoop places his right foot on the ropes, breaking the count.

Visibly annoyed now, Shane grabs Snoop's bald head and pulls him to his feet. After landing a few punches to keep his opponent dazed, Donovan takes a few steps back and uses the ropes for leverage and runs straight at Snoop. Before being able to execute whatever he was going for, Snoop gets a huge boot up in his face, which sends Shane down to the mat and out of the ring.

Falling to his hands and knees for a moment, sucking up oxygen and trying to regain focus, Snoop checks on Shane to make sure he is still out. As the referee counts to seven, Snoop gets back to his feet and moves over to Shane, grabbing him by the hair and pulling him back into the ring. Snoop points out to the crowd and gets a small pop, and then drops a big standing leg drop across the throat of Donovan.

Jackson keeps his leg over Shane's throat and the ref starts the count..

...1...

Shane kicks out before the two count and Jackson just seems annoyed by it, as he gets back to his feet, bringing Donovan with him. Snoop sends a hard knee to Donovan's midsection, setting him in a hunched-over position, allowing for Snoop to put him into a suplex position. Quickly lifting Shane into the air, holding him up, letting the blood rush to Shane's head, Snoop lets go of Shane and lets him tumble to the mat from high in the air, dropping Shane on his shoulders and neck.

Afterwards, Snoop rolls Shane onto his back and applies a Camel Clutch, which causes Shane to feel the effect of being dropped on his head/neck. However, seeming to get strength from somewhere, Shane is slowly trying to overpower the big man, who remains on Shane's back. Realizing this, Snoop wrenches the hold back even harder, trying to keep Shane down, but to no avail.

Finding the strength from within, Shane rises, flips Snoop up and over his right shoulder. Out of breath, Shane collapses back to the mat for a moment, collecting oxygen, using the ropes to help him stay afloat. Slowly, he walks to the nearest turnbuckle, takes a deep breath and charges across the ring with full-force towards Snoop, giving him a hard running dropkick into the corner.

As Snoop stumbles out, Shane stops him, sits on the top turnbuckle and applies The Clincher from this position. Snoop is able to hold on pretty well, but it isn't long before Shane is able to wrench him from the top rope, forcing a roll in mid air where Snoop lands on the mat face-down with Shane on top of him, holding onto the Clincher.

Seconds later, Snoop begins tapping the mat, giving the win to Shane Donovan, who walks victoriously to the back.

Winner: Shane Donovan



.backstage
Standing around the backstage area, Mike Phantasy drinks some water out of a plastic cup, drinking it quickly. As the camera zooms out, it shows his left arm in a cast, and his waist almost bare, due to his Purity Title loss at Revelations. He seems almost disgusted at himself as he shakes his head and pours some more water into his cup, from a nearby water-cooler. Suddenly, a door that's close-by opens up and in steps Corey Page, officially arriving at the arena, bumping into Mike Phantasy, who relinquishes his cup of water and lays it on the water-cooler.

"I thought you were dead," he states with a sly smirk.

Corey, being the witty bastard that he is, fires back with a quip of his own; "No, but I wish you were."

"Funny. Chris Extreme should have just shot you in the head. Really."

"Look, Mike, I know you're pissy because you lost your title; but I've got business to attend to..."

After saying that, Corey Page goes to walk off, but stops when he hears Mike mumble something under his breath. "Asshole," Mike passive-aggressively moans, "at least I don't have to do anything around here, except to collect my paycheck."

Having his back turned to Mike, Corey's ears perk up and a smile forms across his lips. Turning around, he goes face-to-face with Mike, a former ally of Chris Extreme. "True, you're not doing anything tonight. However, come October 31st -- Halloween; aka Illusions, one of our greatest annual pay per views, you will be collecting a paycheck by working in that ring."

Shocked, Mike can barely mutter out a single word, except for some incoherent rambling, "What?! But... but... my arm... I can't!"

"Sure you can," Corey cordially responds, "You have a match against... Nikita, if she happens to lose in tonight's main event. You know her, one of the girls you've been complaining about; even going as far as to name her one of the suspects in attacking you. If she did attack you, this is your chance for revenge. You should love this, Mike; even though you have a... uh...," Corey coughs and rolls his eyes, "...uh...a broken arm."

Steam nearly shoots out of Mike's ears, as he has no clue how to respond, until he finally utters a threat towards Corey.

"Fine. You book me into that match. Sure... go ahead, Mister "Owner"... Mister "President"... Mister 'Page'. Yeah, you do that."

"I just did. You better hope Nikita wins."

"Good! Good! I'm glad!" Mike shouts, as he retreats, almost falling over a box as he exits the corridor area. Corey Page, meanwhile, fixes himself up and walks inside, ready for the night to continue.

Singles Match
Flame vs. Trent Turner

As a loud booming sound is heard, the music of "Broken" by Seether and Amy Lee hits the PA system. Suddenly, a voice can be heard being emitted from it...

"I am the one that you dream about."

“I am the one you wish you had, but in the end that was it, now with my heart you fight.”

On the large screen, the face of Hecate is shown, slowly fading away only to reveal her tombstone. Standing next to the tombstone is Flame, who can be seen with a tear dropping from his face, which soon turns from sorrow to pain. Without warning, the flashing stops and silence covers the arena. Once again, a booming sound is heard and fire shoots from the turnbuckle pads, revealing Flame standing in the middle of the ring, the crowd lightning up with excitement, due to his presence.

The lights in the arena go completely black. Suddenly, blue and yellow strobe lights begin to flash in the arena. “Build Your Cages" by Pulse Ultra hits the system, along with a large shot of pyro. The fans in the arena shoot out of their seats as Trent Turner makes his way through the curtain. Trent raises his arms and looks out at the crowd. The music begins to build up as Trent remains at the top of the ramp. Continuing the music, Trent begins to feel the build-up of the music. Finally, the music explodes and another large shot of pyro goes off as Trent raises his head and begins to walk to the ring. The fans are feeling the electricity from the entrance; as Trent climbs the steps to to stand on the apron. He turns to face the audience with a blank stare, anticipating his match, when a bright yellow spot light lands on him, as he glares out at the people. With the strobes and music still playing, Trent enters the ring and walks to the opposite side of the ring, using the ropes to stand on as he holds his arms into the air, listening to the audience cheer for him.

The bell sounds and Trent Turner charges right in after Flame, but is met by the turnbuckle when Flame side-steps him and pushes him chest-first into the corner.

Wasting no time with the opening, Flame moves in behind Turner and props him up, sitting him on the top turnbuckle. He climbs up with him and drops him down from the second turnbuckle with a hard Belly-To-Back slam from the top rope.

Hurt, Turner rolls on the mat and ends up on his hands and knees, holding his back, trying to work away the pain from the huge slam, but Flame isn't giving him any time to recover. He drags Trent back to his feet and whips him into the ropes, trying to land a big clothesline, which winds up ducking beneath. Instead, Turner tries wrapping Flame up in a crucifix, but it gets reversed. Flame uses his power and hoists Turner up and holds him in position for a moment until dropping back full-force with a Samoan Drop.

However, Flame doesn't let go, using his strength and weight to his advantage. Flame gets back to his feet, while Trent seems out of it and isn't struggling too much, allowing Flame to make a few motions, until he has Turner propped over his shoulder. Falling forward, Flame delivers a huge powerslam and stays on top of Trent, looking for the cover...

...1...2...

Turner barely gets his shoulder up before the ref's hand comes down for the three count.

Flame, more annoyed than anything, gets back to his feet holding onto Turner's hair. After a moment of deliberation, Flame grabs Turner's throat and looks to be going for a chokeslam, but Trent is able to get a kick in before being lifted into the air. Seeing an opening, Turner launches himself off the ropes in springboard fashion, trying to land a big springboard moonsault onto Flame; but once again, he fails as Flame catches him in mid air, only to drop him straight down with the move he calls "Hecate's Revenge"!

Once again, Flame drags Trent to his feet, and sets him up for the big chokeslam. This time, there's no struggle, as Trent is lifted into the air and slammed down with full force. Flame uses one hand to cover Trent...

...1...2...

Still having fight left in him, or maybe he just isn't quite sure what's going on, Trent lifts his shoulder from the mat, obviously annoying Flame.

Flame wanders around the ring for a moment, watching Trent struggle to get to his feet on his own. Flame laughs a bit to himself and then steps towards his opponent, who's just about up. He drops a few forearms across the back and neck of Turner, who would have fell to the mat if it wasn't for Flame holding him up.

Deciding to finish this, Flame throws Trent one last time towards the ropes for an Irish whip, but he can't make it. He collapses when he hits the ropes and falls awkwardly through them to the outside mat. Flame laughs to himself as the ref starts the ten count. Having no intentions on winning this match by count out, Flame climbs to the outside and lifts Turner back to his feet. Almost rolling him back into the ring, but he seems to have an idea of sorts. He still has a few more seconds left in the count, and Flame lifts Trent Turner up over his shoulders, in position for the Flame Bomb...

The referee's count is at seven and Flame drops a Trent Turner into the guard rail with a huge Flame Bomb. Turner's back bounces off the guardrail and he falls to the mat motionless. Flame's face turns to one of a chaotic joy as he lifts Turner up by the trunks and throws him back into the ring, sliding in the ring after him at the nine count and once again covering Turner with one hand.

...1...2...3!

Declared the winner, Flame walks nonchalantly to the back, with a big smile on his face. Trent Turner, meanwhile, takes a while to get back to his feet. Once he does, he grabs a chair from the ringside area, slams it off the steel post and walks to the back, holding it in his hand.

Winner: Flame

Ace Rodgers stands in the backstage area, standing to the right of Billy Badson, who is wearing his wrestlight tights, complete with the Purity Title strung over his left shoulder. Pointing the microphone at Billy's direction, Ace begins asking some questions.

"Billy, the last time we saw you, you walked out with that title and slapped Trent Turner for disrespecting you. What I want to know is... now what? What's next for you?"

Billy begins, "Well, Ace, I plan on going to our pay per view, Illusions, to defend my honor, defend the old school -- and most of all, defend this Purity Title."

"I see," says Ace, "who will be your opponent?"

"My opponent, Ace, that'll be..." before Billy can continue, he is cut-off by a steel chair that connects across the broad of his back, dropping him like a sack of bricks.

"Trent Turner! What the hell are you doing?!" shouts Ace, who is forced to leap back, hoping not to get struck with the chair. Trent, who is obviously upset at Billy's post-match actions, stands over the fallen champ, holding the chair high above his head. Holding the chair over his head again, Trent uses it to crack down onto Billy's back, following that up by tossing the chair down and walking away.

Meanwhile, Ace Rodgers is to the side and is requesting some help for Billy. Several officials walk in, aide Billy Badson in getting to his feet, but he manages to push them away and cripple off, holding his back, feeling much damage from the attack by Trent Turner.

Submission Match -- Non-Title
Billy Badson vs. Vincent Kane

The lights dim and a red hue drapes over the arena. The sirens in the beginning of "Straight Hate" by Bloodsimple can be heard faintly for a moment, until the song begins and the hate and anger pours from the PA system. The crowd is silenced, or so it seems from the deafening roar of the lyrical massacre.

"There's something up with the FATAL ATTRACTION."

The red spotlight moves from panning the crowd to the entrance of the ramp, where Vincent Kane steps out from the back, his arms raised in the air, fists clenched, and moving down the ramp in a pretty quick fashion. The fan's reaction is still silenced by the music and it's impossible to tell if they love or hate the man. However, he acknowledges them, trying to get them into the moment.

"For every action there's an opposite reaction.
It's like a trip to the brain that drives me FUCKIN INSANE!"

Vincent uses the steps to enter the ring, but he paces around the outside of the ropes, doing almost a full lap around the ring. Throwing his fist into the air and obviously trying to pump up the crowd.

"You never had a chance anyway.."

Kane finally steps through the ropes as the music dies down, and you can finally hear the mix of cheers and boos from the crowd. Vincent just smiles faintly as he steps to his corner and props himself against the turnbuckle, passing his Lust Title out to a ring attendant.

With no music and no pyros, lights, or anything, Billy Badson steps on to the ramp from backstage and wobbles to the ringside area, feeling the affects of the previous attack. Once inside, he removes his Purity Title and hands it off to the referee, who then passes it to the ring announcer.

Ding, ding, ding.

The bell rings and both men casually step out from their respective corner, taking their time to measure each other, wishing to come out the victor in this submission match, where the rules are obvious and simple -- make your opponent submit in order to win.

Leaning back, Vincent Kane eyes Billy Badson wobble out of the corner, still holding his back, while Vincent smirks, knowing what he has to do. Both men step into the center of the ring, where they instantly lock up, with Vincent coming out on top by locking in a side-headlock. Sending some forearms to Vincent's gut, Billy backs him up against the ropes and pushes him out, sending Vincent into the opposite set of ropes.

Obviously, Vincent Kane uses the ropes as a spring and bounces back, sending Billy down to the mat with a terrific shoulderblock. Looking to hit an elbowdrop, Vincent drops the the mat, hoping to strike Billy, but hits nothing but canvas, as Billy rolls to safety.

Thanks to nagging back pain, Billy is slow to get to his feet, enabling Vincent to rise before him and use Billy's pain against him, using some elbows to back him up against the turnbuckle pads. Whipping Billy across the ring, Vincent forces the Purity Champion to slam back-first against the turnbuckle pads, dropping him down to his knees, much to the joy of Vincent Kane, who follows in with a charging knee to the face of Badson.

Hoisting the Purity Champ up, Vincent Kane bashes his face off the top turnbuckle pad, scoops him up and backbreakers him, leaving Billy laying across Vincent's right knee for a few seconds, as Vincent applies some more pressure. When he is finished having Billy laid out, Vincent gives him a clubbing blow to the chest, sending Billy down to the canvas, having him choking for oxygen.

After forcing Billy up against the ropes with some kicks and stomps to the back, Vincent leans him over the middle rope and positions his right knee across Billy's back, pushing down; not only choking Billy, but also applying more pressure to Billy's back, which has been pounded with two chairshots.

Once the referee enters the scene and starts his 5-count, he forces Vincent to stand back from Billy, allowing him to gain his balance. However, it doesn't take long for Vincent to continue to capitalize on Billy's condition. He strikes him with some punches, backing him up against the turnbuckle pads again. Just like before, he whips him out, sending him reeling, back-first, up against the opposite set of turnbuckle pads. Vincent slowly walks in on Billy, strikes him with a back elbow attempt, turns Billy around so that his chest is leaning against the turnbuckle pads and then steps out, walking into the opposite corner, which he whipped Billy out of.

Playing to the crowd, Vincent gets a mixed reaction, as he speeds across the ring, hops into the air, puts two knees together and attempts to jam them into Billy Badson's back. Fortunately, the old timer is aware of his senses and tumbles backward, thus allowing Vincent Kane to smash knees-first into the top turnbuckle pad, forcing him to crash back onto the canvas.

Using the ropes to keep himself afloat, Badson stumbles into the corner and notices Vincent clutch his knees. Knowing what to do, Billy commences stomping and kicking at Vincent's legs/knees, even grabbing his right leg, placing it on top of the bottom rope and starts jumping on and dropping some knees onto it. Receiving the reaction that he was hoping to get, Badson drags Vincent into the middle of the ring, bad back and all.

In this location, Billy applies a twisting toehold that puts pressure on Vincent's entire right leg, including his knee position. Bracing the leg between his own, Billy Badson drops down, his left knee landing squarely on top of Vincent's right. Grinding down some more, Billy hopes to wear Vincent down enough, but still knowing full-well that he won't submit.

After some time, Billy slowly rises to his feet, hunches over, holds his back and sits Vincent up. From this position, Vincent is locked into a rear-chinlock, having Billy clasp his hands around his chin, furthering that by digging his right knee into his back, wearing him down some more. Despite the submission attempt, Vincent is keen to rise to a kneeling position, sending Billy stumbling back with a swinging elbow to the gut.

Shrugging off the pain in his knees, Vincent Kane leaps to his feet, free of Badson's clutches, and bounces off ropes, returning with a running clothesline to Billy, knocking him onto his back. Not holding back, the Lust Champion, wrestling in a non-title match, grabs Badson by his head, lifts him up and knees him in the gut, bending him over. Applying a front facelock, akin to Badson's own "Bad-lock", Vincent Kane begins wailing away on Billy with some kneelifts. When he strikes Billy with his injured right knee, Vincent grimaces, steps back and holds himself, trying to regain his presence.

Noticing this, as well, a dazed Billy Badson steps up to Vincent and starts chopping his chest, soon changing that up by swinging a fist towards Vincent's head. Unfortunately for Billy, Vincent is well-aware of this strike attempt and he blocks it. However, he cannot the kick to the knee from Badson, which drops Vincent onto the ground.

Dropping a bionic elbow across Vincent's neck, Billy shadows Vincent's prior offense, striking him with some "old man" kneelifts to the face, dazing Vincent, too. After a wave of more chops and slaps to the chest, Billy latches onto Vincent Kane and goes for a suplex. Luckily, as he is lifted into the air, Vincent uses his left knee to strike Billy, forcing him to be dropped to the canvas.

Dazed, Billy witnesses Vincent Kane rise up, deciding to leap at him with a clothesline attempt. Seeing this, Vincent turns his side to Billy and motions his hips towards him, while grabbing onto Billy's wrist, flinging him up-and-over with a judo throw.

Taking a deep breath, Vincent Kane walks up behind Billy Badson, sits him up and unloads a series of stiff football/soccer kicks onto his back. Grabbing onto Billy's head, he lifts him up, only to swing him over again with a snap mare, putting him back into a seated position. Yet again, Vincent strikes Billy with a football/soccer kick, drops down and instantly applies a double-chickenwing submission hold, complete with a knee to the back.

Vincent Kane's knee is driven directly into the area that had been damaged by the chair, forcing Billy to cry out in anguish, yet he still does not give up. Upping the pressure, Vincent begins to pull harder back on Billy's arms, while giving him some harder knee-strikes to the back, all of which wears Billy down further.

With the fans supporting him, Billy eventually gets to his feet, finding his way to freedom via a backdrop, which sends Vincent Kane flying. Refusing to give up, a very sore Billy Badson lifts Vincent Kane back up, looksto the crowd and hooks on a side-headlock, much to the glory of the fans. Vincent struggles to break free, but finds a way; as he is able to hoist Billy up and drop him on his back with a Backdrop Driver.

The fans are going nuts, as neither man can find the effort to force the other to submit. Nevertheless, they both lay down-and-out, trying to suck up the oxygen needed to give them the extra-boost. Both men slowly get to a kneeling position, as they crawl over towards each other, where they soon begin a battle of the fisticuffs, while in a kneeling position.

Vincent Kane strikes Badson. Billy fires back with a right hand of his own, which Vincent follows up by striking Badson with another jab. He headbutts Billy and then tries for another punch, only to have it blocked. In return, Billy uses his right index finger to poke in Vincent's left eye, temporarily blinding him. Still kneeling down, he instantly hooks onto Vincent's head, applying a side-headlock from this downed position, much to the delight of the fans.

Despite having his neck cranked down, with his head tucked between Billy's armpit, Vincent Kane does not submit, and fights back with all of his might. Rising to only one knee, Vincent Kane slaps Billy in the stomach, hoists him up into the air and then drops down, delivering a back suplex. Surprisingly, Billy hangs on, frustrating Vincent even more.

Both men roll to the side, the headlock still held on to Vincent Kane, while they both slowly climb to another kneeling position. Badson gets up, holding Vincent and his head to the side, underneath his armpit, and then flips him back over with a headlock takedown, landing atop Vincent, trying to suffocate him. Eventually, after some struggling, Vincent Kane is able to rise to his feet again, still trapped in the headlock. Just like before, he hoists Billy up into a back-suplex position, only to whip him forward, while falling onto his back, delivering a double-knee back-cracker onto Billy!

Having Badson laid out, feeling the burning blow of his previous move, Vincent rolls to his side and realizes Billy's predicament. Rolling Billy onto his stomach, Vincent crawls onto him, jabs his right knee into Billy's back and places his two hands aruond Billy's chin. Yanking back, he applies as much force as possible, as he tries to make Billy submit, but to no avail. Each time the referee moves into position and asks Billy, the response is always a firm "No!"

Becoming agitated, Vincent starts clubbing Billy across the back, hoping for a submission, but still gets nothing. Seconds later, he lifts Billy up and gutwrench suplexes him, rolls him onto his stomach again and proceeds to drop a double-knee across his back. Standing back up, he hovers over Billy, allowing him to rise just a bit. In doing so, he soon hunches over and grabs onto Billy's right arm, apparently trying for a Camel Clutch.

But Billy has other plans.

As Vincent is bent over, Billy uses his left arm to give him some elbow shots to the head, dizzying him. Aware of an excellent opportunity, Billy grabs Vincent's leg -- the same one he worked over earlier -- and plucks on it, dragging Vincent onto his back. Slowly getting up to his own feet, with Vincent's foot in his hand, Billy turns around and unloads a stiff kick to Vincent's leg.

Hey, Billy may be old, but he still has a strong kick in his leg.

Applying a spinning toehold, Billy is quick to figure-4 Vincent's legs, drop down and then apply the leglock, hoping it'll force Vincent to submit, as he listens to the fans chanting, "Tap, tap, tap!" over and over again.

Fortunately for Vincent, the ropes are not too far away, as they're just in arm's reach, allowing him to pull himself to safety. Once given a warning to release the hold, Billy obliges, stands up and steps towards Vincent Kane. As he goes to lift Vincent up, Billy is shocked when Vincent strikes him with a lowblow, catching him off-guard, dropping him down to his knees.

Receiving a warning from the referee, Vincent shrugs it off, uses the ropes to stand and surrounds Billy. As Billy is on his knees, Vincent bounces off the ropes and returns with a running knee to Billy's back, sending him throat-first over the middle rope. Grabbing Billy's white hair, Vincent punches him in the skull, drags him to his feet and positions him on his shoulder.

Vincent Kane charges into the corner, holding Billy up on his right shoulder and smashes him back-first against the turnbuckle pads. The force of the blow is enough to send a rebound reaction out, enabling Vincent to twirl his body around and spinebuster Billy. Using a ground-and-pound tactic, Vincent soon looks to apply a Triangle Chokehold onto Billy, which the Purity Champion is desperately trying to avoid, knowing that if its locked-in, it could be lights out.

As Vincent lays on his back, hoping to choke Billy, the old geezer finds an escape, slipping away from Vincent's clutches. Before Vincent can stir, Billy sweeps his legs out from beneath him, via a swift kick to the knee, allowing Billy to return to work on his legs. Billy goes to lock in the Figure-4, but as he turns, Vincent uses his free leg to kick Billy's rear end, thereby sending him chest-first into the corner.

When Billy stumbles back, Vincent snaps up, grabs onto Billy's right arm and brings him down with the "Where It Ends". Aware of what's occuring, Billy rolls forward, escaping from Vincent's submission attempt, only to immediately latch onto Vincent with a Bad-Lock!

At the second that hold is applied, Vincent Kane starts squirming, in a very uncomfortable position. Taking notice of this, Billy sends some knees to Vincent's face, trying to wear him down, coupled with Billy twisting him around and then dropping him with a neckbreaker. With the hold still applied, Billy furiously tries to make Vincent submit.

The referee moves in, checking Vincent's arm. He lifts it...

It falls once...

He lifts it again...

It falls twice...

He lifts it for the third, and possibly final, time...

Vincent Kane's arm stays afloat!

The fans are going wild, so is Billy, who is in complete dismay, as Vincent finds a surge of energy, enabling him to get to his feet. Trying to fight this off, Billy sends some more knee-strikes to Vincent's head/face, but to no avail. Recovering enough energy, Vincent is finally able to release Northern Lights Suplex Billy, sending him crashing onto his back!

Vincent Kane crawls over towards Billy Badson, rolls him onto his stomach and places both knees onto Billy's back. From here, Vincent places his right hand around Billy's chin, while locking his legs together and pulling back. Eventually, Vincent rolls onto his back, giving Billy an upside-down surfboard stretch.

Thanks to his already-injured back, Billy is forced to submit, as he taps Vincent Kane's leg three-times. Seeing this, the referee calls for the bell, forcing Vincent Kane to drop Billy, while the fans chant in approval of both men, who gave it their all.

Once he is declared the winner, Vincent rises to his feet, walks into his corner and is awared with his Lust Title, while the referee checks on Billy, giving him his Purity Title, helping him up to his feet. Chants are roaring in of approval for both men, who soon meet in the center of the ring, with Billy extending his hand to Vincent Kane.

The Lust Champion looks around, unsure of what to do, with the fans encouraging him to shake. Shrugging the hesitation away, Vincent shakes Badson's hand, while Badson nods in approval. Vincent then walks to the back, while Billy stays in the ring, beaten, but soaking up the applause from the fans.

Winner: Vincent Kane



.backstage
Vincent Kane pushes his way past the black curtains, re-entering the backstage area, after his latest match. He steps past several officials, holding the Lust Title over his right shoulder, stopping only when he is bumped into by another Sin Wrestling star.

"Vincent Kane..." Flame whispers, walking into the scene, radiating, as usual.

"What do you want?" Kane asks, standing opposite of Flame, who has a lighter in his hands, flicking it on and off.

"What I want is another shot at that title... just me and you. No Travis Miller... and no Cock... falls-count-anywhere. What do you say?"

Pondering Flame's question, Vincent Kane hurriedly replies, "You want a shot? Fine, you've got it. At Illusions... me and you... falls-count-anywhere." He pats his belt, while giving Flame an intimidating glare.

Saying nothing, Flame steps back, smirks and nods his head. "Sounds good to me.," he says, as he starts to walk away. Stopping, he twirls around and threatens to throw a fireball at Vincent Kane, much like how he has been doing to several other people these past few weeks.

"Keep your head up and your eyes open," Flame caustically states.

"I always do," is the reply given to him by Vincent Kane, who continues to grip his Lust Title, watching as Flame walks out of the camera's view.



.backstage
It's been days since the major revelation of Chris Extreme stealing Corey Page's identity, and even getting plastic surgery to resemble him. Nevertheless, Chris Extreme stands in the back, looking and wearing the exact same thing he wore at Revelations; including the half torn flesh, which partially shows his former face. Of course, it blends in with the fake flesh used to resemble Corey Page.

On top of that, the bloodstained chair used at Revelations remains around Chris Extreme's neck, as he watches some of tonight's action on a monitor. He remains focused, not flinching a muscle, only perking up when he hears the footsteps of another person nearing. Becoming paranoid of possible intrusion, Chris steps back and hides behind a wall, thinking it's a potential attacker. The footsteps get closer and closer, until the person arrives at the position that Chris once stood. It's time for Chris Extreme to leap into gear.

"I've got ya, you bastard! I know who you are! I own this damn company, now, Page! I'll fucking kill you...!"

Chris Extreme bursts out of the shadows, from out behind the nearby wall, and hurdles towards the person who now stands in front of the monitor, grabbing him harshly.

"Ow! Jesus, watch out!" rumbles the voice of Mike Phantasy, who grimaces in pain, as Chris Extreme grabs hold of his arm.

Realizing his mistake, Chris releases the vice grip and questions Mike, "What are you doing here?! I know you! I own you! This is my federation! I own it! I signed for it!"

Shrugging off Chris Extreme's outburst, Mike, an ally of Chris Extreme, points to his injured arm and commences talking. "You know me! I'm Mike, dude! Mike Phantasy! We were in the Master Race together... remember?"

"Oh yes. Heil!" says Chris.

"Yes, Heil. Listen, I know you're a busy man..." Mike seemingly begins bargaining with Chris; but he is soon interrupted by Chris' erratic behaviour.

"Damn right I am. I've got a major announcement to make after this next match. It involves me versus Corey Page -- at Illusions... for all the marbles and power."

Mike nods, "Yes, yes, I know. However, I want to ask for a favor..."

"Favors, eh? I'm Chris f'n Extreme and I own this place; I give no favors!"

A sly grin slithers across Mike's face. "Oh, but... you see, Corey Page made this decision. I don't think he should be doing that."

"You're damn right; he shouldn't be doing that! I'm still the boss here, not him!" Chris retorts.

"I know, that's why I need you to un-do his idea."

"If he decided on something, without my approval, then fine. It's no more. Errr... now what do you want?"

"There's this match," Mike slyly states, making sure Chris' ears are listening intently to what he has to say, "and I want out of it. For one, I am an injured star! Corey Page put me into a match against Nikita... of all people! I don't want revenge... I'm too injured for revenge!"

"It's true, I can't have MY wrestlers get further injured," a damanding Chris Extreme blathers.

"Exactly. So, pull me out of this match and replace me with someone else. Just think how much it'd spite Corey Page," Mike plants the seed in Chris' head, getting quick results.

"You're right! You're damn right! No wonder I hired you for the Master Race! You were always a good little Nazi! You are injured, you don't have to wrestle!" exhumes Chris, while Mike Phantasy gleefully rejoices. "That old bag, Nikita, can face... uhm... she can face..."

Walking in the distance is Shane Donovan, who Mike notices over Corey's left shoulder, giving him an obvious idea, which he uses to answer Chris. "She can face Shane Donovan at Illusions! He's free... especially after losing the chance to compete for the World Title last week. Heh."

"I like how you think!"

"Me too," Mike agrees.

"Good. I'm glad you agree. Now get the fuck out of the boss's way, asshole," commands Chris to Mike Phantasy, who calmly steps aside, happy to have been removed from his match.

Title Shot vs. Career
Xander Gates vs. Tony Millennia vs. Stryker Graff

"Love Is Not Enough" by Nine Inch Nails sputters to life, sending the crowd into an uproar. With every single light dead, smoke rises from beneath the stage. Rising from their dormant state, golden lights ignite all over. Shining down on Tony Millennia, who steps out from behind the curtain, a bright golden spotlight leads him down the aisle.

but underneath we're not so tough

Rolling inside the ring, Millennia criss-crosses the ring, climbing one corner and then the adjacent one. Hopping down from that corner, he twirls around in the ring and points up to the rafters. Simultaneously, sparks and fireworks shoot off from the ringposts.

LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH

Soon, the gold washes away as the rest of the arena lights rise from the dead. Meanwhile, Tony Millennia paces around the ring, his mind racing a million thoughts a minute, none of which shine through his intense, yet blank stare.

"Death March" by Black Label Society strikes the speakers, thus bringing out Xander Gates, who is dressed in a black priest's robe. Standing atop the entrance, he basks in the hatred of the fans, who continue to jeer him as he makes his way towards the ringside area. Once he rolls in, he walks into a corner to keep picking on the fans, waiting for his match to commence.

SUPPOSE YOU WERE TO DIE TONIGHT...
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY...

Darkness engulfs the arena as Walking Dead begins. The stage illuminates with a flickering blind white light as mist pours out from the back. Soon, out of the mist steps Stryker Graff with that trademark grin on his. He stands in the center of the stage and looks out into the crowd. After a moment, he starts making his way down to the ring, cracking his knuckles and neck as he does so. He then slides under the bottom rope and then jumps to his feet. He climbs the top of a turnbuckle and looks over the crowd one more time before shaking his head in disgust, but with that grin on his face.

As soon as Styker Graff jumps off the turnbuckle and faces his opponents, he's taken down with a double clothesline. Xander and Millennia wait as Stryker returns to his feet, only to work together once more with a double flapjack on Stryker Graff. With Stryker down, Xander turns on Millennia, pulling him into a belly to belly suplex. Xander waits for Tony Millennia to rise back to his feet and goes for another suplex, but Millennia gets in a few closed fist punches beforehand, and manages to get Xander down with a powerbomb. Millennia goes for an early pin.

...1...2..

But Stryker Graff delievers a double axe handle to the back of Tony Millennia just as Xander Gates kicks out. Stryker whips Millennia aginst the ropes and as he comes running back, Stryker takes him out with a clothesline only to be taken down by a spear ala Xander Gates.

Xander bends down to pull Millennia to his feet but recieves a rake to the eyes and stumbles back. Millennia jumps up and grabs the temporarily blind Xander Gates and preforms a snap suplex. With Styker still down, Millennia continues wearing down Xander Gates with boots to the chest. Xander gets a moment to breathe when the ref breaks up the relentless kicking. Gates rises to his feet when Millennia charges forth and lifts him into a fireman's carry takedown. Millennia leans against the ropes for a moment, watching the two downed opponents when, once again, Xander gets to his feet. With Xander running towards Millennia, Tony hooks his arm and swings him around into a full nelson to preform his trademark attack, Bullet in the Gun.

Just as he's about to go for the pin, Stryker Graff finally returns to the match, yanking Millennia away from the fallen Xander, following up with a superkick to Tony's face. Stryker hurries to pin Xander Gates.

...1...

But Millennia comes charging back with a closed fist to the back of Stryker's head. When Stryker staggers to his feet, he finds himself in an inverted facelock ala Tony Millennia. From there, Millennia lifts Stryker up and spins his body around and drops to a seated position, planting Stryker's face into the mat, for a Starfire Deluxe, Tony's finisher.

But Millennia isn't done yet. He hoists Stryker up and flings him over the top rope; he wants Xander Gates all to himself. With Xander finally getting back to his feet, Millennia, once again, places him in a full nelson hold and screams out at the crowd, signalling for the Millennial Descent. Just as he's about to pull Xander up, Xander manages to pull Millennia onto his back and ram him into a turnbuckle. Gates moves forward and rams Tony's back into the turnbuckle repeatedly until the hold is released.

Xander turns around and throws several european uppercuts at Tony before preforming a backcracker on Millennia. For a moment, though, the crowds attention is diverted to the stage where Nikita makes her way out. She hurries down to the ring and immediately begins cheering Tony Millennia on, clearly not wanting him to lose this match. Millennia absorbs this and pushes to his feet, delivering several stiff punches to Xander's abdomen and then face.

The tables turn again as Xander Gate manages an STF on Tony Millennia. Xander quickly sets Tony Millennia up on the turnbuckle, climbs up, and preforms a DDT off the ropes, smashing Millennia's head into the mat. Xander pulls Millennia to his feet by his hair but Millennia won't give up. He goes once more for the Millennial Descent, hoping to end the match, but Xander counters and sets him up for X Marks the Spot, which is done successfully. Gates goes for the pin.

...1...2...3

With the ring of the bell, Stryker begins to stir and Nikita holds her face is sorrow for Millennia's loss and the end of his career in SW. Nikita then makes her way onto the apron to go to Tony when Stryker stands up behind her. She tries to kick him in the face, but she grabs her foot and yanks her off, making her smack her head against the barricade, knocking her out cold.

Absolutely fuming at his own loss, Stryker slides into the ring and picks up the assault on Millennia. With furious kicks to Tony's chest and head, the crowd boos at Stryker. Stryker pulls Millennia up onto the slam his back down into the mat with his Grave Digger. Graff rolls back out of the ring for a moment to grab a chair and slides back in. As Tony Millennia slowly begins to sit up, Stryker takes the opportunity to wack the chair over Millennia's head, not once, but twice, splitting open his head. Stryker Graff stops for a moment before wrapping the chair around Tony's arm. The fans go into a full scale uproar at this point.

But the boos turn to cheers as Regan Chambers runs down to the ring and slides in. Immediately, Stryker stops what he's doing and exits the ring with his tail between his legs. Regan removes the chair from around Millennia's arm and helps him back up. On the outskirts, Nikita's finally coming to and rising to her feet. She watches along with the audience as Regan Chambers and Tony Millennia shake hands, reminding the world of their 2004 fued. The fans begin to chant in unison "THANK YOU, TONY!" Nikita blows Tony a kiss before making her way backstage, and Regan Chambers raises Millennia's hand in front of the world one last time.

Winner: Xander Gates



.ringside
Rammstein's heavy German music of "Sonne" blasts the speakers.

Dear world,

I hate punks.
I hate goths.
I hate sluts.
I hate niggers.
I hate spics.
I hate chinks.
I hate sand niggers.
I hate tee-pee niggers.
I hate eskimos.
I hate Jews.
I hate Jesus.
I hate Muhammad.
I hate Buddah.
I hate labels, racial slurs, and atheists.
I do, on the other hand, like hot fudge sundaes.

Love,
Chris Extreme

p.s. I'm the world's greatest asshole.

"Sonne" booms louder and Chris Extreme marches out, steel chair hanging from his head, clothes dirty and flesh hanging from his face. As he walks to the ringside area, he stops in front of the railing, viewing several members of the "LOST" cast, who are in attendance, promoting the third season of the hit television show.

From left-to-right are the actors who play Hurley, Kate, Walt and Jin. Right off the bat, he glares down Hurley's actor, Jorge Garcia, and jiggles his man-boobs. Second, he focuses on "Kate"/Evangeline Lilly, licks his lips and unzips his pants, pulling out his cock, threatening to rape her. Having his sexual desires turned away, he focuses on "Walt", wiggles his cock at him, chuckles and walks off; coming face-to-face with "Jin"... whom he proceeds to vomit on.

After being pulled away by security, leaving a trail of vomit that smells a lot like liquor and Morgana's latest brand of beauty accessories, Chris Extreme wobbles over towards the ring announcer, slaps him across his head and steals the microphone away from him. Throwing the microphone into the ring, Chris rolls inside, picks it up and proceeds with the announcement he promised to make earlier.

Picking the microphone up, he stumbles around the ring, making quick glances at everyone around the ringside area. He finally holds the mic up to his mouth and starts speaking, while looking at Jorge Garcia, who is still in the front row, "Hurley, you've got to be the hottest slut on Lost. I've never seen a woman with a bigger set of tits than you. I just want to lick and squeeze those monsters..."

Suddenly, a random person in the audience shouts, "He's a dude, dude," in Chris's general direction, startling him.

"What the Jesus? You're a guy! Security, get that faggot out of my arena and out of my show!" Chris Extreme beckons, forcing the security to hop over the railing and lead a very disgusted and upset Lost cast out of the arena. "Finally those bastards are out of here," he speaks, "I hope they took that goddamn smoke monster with them."

Watching as security walks the cast members to the back, Chris Extreme enjoys few moments of silence to soak up the jeers from the audience.

"Wow, you all love me."

Obviously, the fans boo him some more, even giving him a "Shut the fuck up" chant.

"Now, it's time to get to the announcement -- and that is, I, Chris Extreme, will be facing Corey "Ugly Douchebag" Page at Illusions. And yes, it will be for full control of this terrible promotion; and if I win, I promise to not only run it straight into the grown, but I also promise to ruin Corey Page." The fans can't stand listening to Chris's threats, forcing them to boo even louder. Eventually, this brings out someone who has been waiting in the back, listening intently to what Chris has to say.

You must die!
I alone am best!

#I hope ya flip some guy the bird
#He cuts you off and you’re forced to swerve
#In front of the Beatles’ tour bus
#A bookmobile and a mack truck
#Hauling hazardous biological waste
#The light turns red, you have no brakes
#And "Hard Copy" gets it all on tape
#So you can see the look on your face
#Die Die Die Die Die Die Die
#Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

With "I Hope You Die" by the Bloodhound Gang" playing in the background, a blue spotlight rains down at the entrance and the curtains pop open, revealing Corey Page, who has a microphone of his own. As he steps out, a thunderous applause permeates the entire building, driving Chris Extreme mad with rage.

"Shut up! All of you, shut up! I demand it! I own all of you!" screeches Chris Extreme into his microphone, getting no such satisfaction. Instead, a wave of cheers for Corey drowns him out, sending him spiralling into a jealous haze.

Corey finally speaks once the crowd hushes down a bit.

"I was standing in the back, listening to you ramble, rolling my eyes and holding back my own vomit, when I decided to make my presence felt. Unlike you, I'm going to make this short, sweet and straight to the point," Corey proudly states, making Chris listen closely. "Number one, yes, I am facing you at Illusions and, no, you will not be walking out the winner. I would kill myself before letting you walk out as the winner -- trust me.

"God, I wish," groans Chris.

"Har har. However, I would like to let you know that I have a bit of power, as well; along with some things on the line. If I win, not only do I get my promotion back, but the following decisions will happen: (A) Aaron Berg is hired back. Yes, you all know our old friend, Aaron Berg. But what you don't know is that Chris Extreme fired him. Why? Because Aaron Berg's wife is black."

A resounding amount of boos pour in, not liking Chris Extreme's decision. He fires back, though, "I had to fire him! She's black! what was I supposed to do?!" Once that's said, a disgruntled fan throws a can of drink into the ring, beating it off Chris Extreme's skull.

"Hey! I saw that! Security, get him out of here!" Chris points to a black teenager, but security doesn't know what to do. Corey, on the other hand, does have an idea.

"Don't listen to that idiot. Security, give that guy a free t-shirt, requests Corey, which the security guards oblige, pissing Chris Extreme off even more.

"Hey! You work for me! Not him! What do you think you're doing?!"

"I'm taking back control."

"The hell you're not," exclaims Chris, "I'll kill you!"

"We'll see about that; because our match at Illusions will have special stipulations, which is something I'll get to next..." Pointing towards the Sin Wrestling Screen, Corey begins pointing out a certain set of rules. "At our next show, The Countdown, there will be 5 sets of matches, all featuring several Sin Wrestling superstars. Some of them will be working for Chris Extreme, some will be working for me. The side who has the most wins gets to decide the special stipulations for our match at Illusions; for example, if Chris' wrestlers beat my guys, 3-2, then he will decide the stipulations." Corey smirks, "But let's face it; that won't be happening."

Angered, Chris retorts, "Like hell it won't! My guys will destroy your guys! I'll pick the baddest, meanest, whitest and mosy Aryan guys ever! You'll see! In fact, we'll beat you 4-1... or... or... hell... we'll beat you 5-0!"

"You bring up a good point. What happens if someone wins by more than 1? Well, it's simple, really. If the victory is by more than a margin of 1, then the winner will be able to add extra stipulations to that match. Hell, we could have an exploding ring, thumbtacks, barbed-wire rope, submission, last-man-standing match on our hands!" states Corey, inciting the fans, who want to see Chris Extreme's blood spill.

"I... uh... fine! You got it! Heil!" says Chris, before he drops his microphone, giving a blank stare out at Corey Page.

"Good. Next week, we pick our teams, and we get ready to find out what kind of match we will have. And Chrishy, for God's sake, remove that chair from your neck... unless you want it used against you," Corey Page spurts, while walking to the back, to the sound of "I Hope You Die" by the Bloodhound Gang.

As the song plays on, Chris Extreme remains in the ring, having an appropriately named song blast from the speakers.

Ladder Match -- World Title
Destiny Daniels vs. Nikita

The steel ladder stands in the center of the ring, directly beneath the World Title that hangs from the ceiling. As the lights in the arena dim, the audience hushes to a silence, waiting for the competitors for tonight's main event to make their way out.

The arena goes dark and whitish blue strobe lights flash to the beat of "Save Yourself" by Stabbing Westward, which erupts over the speakers in the arena. Nikita steps out onto the stage and then makes her way down to the ring.

I know that you've been damaged
Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you

Nikita slides into the ring under the bottom rope and jumps up before stepping onto the second rope in the corner to recieve praise from the audience.

I can not save you
I can't even save myself!

She jumps off of the ropes and walks a small circle around the ring while cracking her knuckles, waiting for the match to begin. Around her right shoulder is one half of the Tag Team Titles, which she ironically holds with her opponent for tonight's match. Speaking of which...

The arena goes black and a low hiss is heard.

the
destiny
show

Destiny whispers, "Your destiny awaits." and the music, "Maneater" by Nelly Furtado fades in harshly, cranked up to its highest setting possible.

Maneater, make you work hard! Make you spend hard!
Make you want all, of her love!
She's a maneater! Make you buy cars. Make you cut cords!
Make you fall, real hard in love!

Scarlet fireworks explode in chain up to the top of the entrance ramp, where the flames form a ring of fire from which Destiny emerges. She sways down the ring, an albino snake resting atop her shoulders.

You wish you never ever met her at all!
You wish you never ever met her at all!
You wish you never ever met her at all!
You wish you never ever met her at all!

Handing the snake to a stagehand, she slides into the ring, reveling in the reaction of the crowd. She tests the ropes, motions for her music to be cut, and feigns a devilish smile.

destiny
fulfilled

Holding her portion of the Tag Team Titles, Destiny stares across the ring at her co-holder/opponent. They both hand the Tag Titles off to the referee, who then points to the sky, showing the World Title, which is on the line.

When the bell rings, both ladies commence circling around the ladder, eyeing it up-and-down, trying to figure out a quick method to get to the top. They circle around it at least 720 degrees, when Nikita decides to burst up the ladder, trying to get the title right away.

Upon seeing this, Destiny goes around to the other side, grabs Nikita by her tights and drags her down. She strikes Nikita with a stiff forearm, jarring her slightly, backing her up against the ropes. Whipping Nikita out, Destiny ducks down upon Nikita's rebound, hoping to hit a backdrop, only to have her potential victim leapfrog up-and-over her. Storming against the opposite set of ropes, Nikita bounces back and leaps at Destiny, taking her down with a reverse bulldog.

Standing up, Nikita starts pounding on the co-holder of the Tag Titles with some stomps to the head, each of them pounding Destiny so hard, that she ends up hanging halfway out of the ring. Of course, this gives Nikita another chance to quickly scurry up the side of the ladder.

Again, however, she does not get far.

Fixing herself from hanging out of the ring, Destiny stands on the side of the ring apron, springboards off the top rope and flies through the air, delivering a single-leg dropkick to Nikita's back, knocking her off the ladder. As a result, Nikita hurdles to the canvas below, slingshotting herself throat-first across the top rope.

In the meantime, thanks to Nikita falling off, the ladder collapses to the side, nearly hitting Destiny Daniels. Thankfully, she is aware of the lumbering ladder and rolls out of the way. She decides to pick it up and use it as a weapon, targetting Nikita, who is still bent over the top rope. Holding the ladder up, Destiny bashes it across Nikita's back, drops the ladder, hooks onto Nikita and then Russian legsweeps her onto it. Down here, she continues to lay next to Nikita, who is holding the back of her head, following her last move up by laying on her side and then delivering a barrage of kicks to Nikita's face.

Standing up, Destiny grabs onto Nikita's long hair and lifts her up alongside her. Sending some right-and-left kicks to Nikita's ribcage, Destiny is taken aback when Nikita catches her left foot, swings her around and then clotheslines her down to the mat.

A little stunned, Destiny climbs up to her feet, only to receive the edge of the ladder in her gut. Hunched over, she then feels the brunt of the ladder come crashing down onto her back, quite like what Nikita felt moments ago. Furthermore, Nikita grabs onto Destiny's hair and then faceplants her onto the side of the ladder, wanting to bust her tag partner open. Not only that, but Nikita lays the ladder in the center of the ring, returns to Destiny Daniels, lifts her up and then Atomic-Whips her onto the ladder, sending a shockwave directly up Destiny's spine.

Delivering a football kick to Destiny's spine, Nikita lays her flat across the ladder, motions towards the ropes and darts forward. Springboarding off the middle rope with a moonsault, Nikita flies back, hoping to land on Destiny... but misses! Fortunately, Destiny rolls out of the way, sending Nikita chest and stomach first onto the steel ladder.

Wobbling up, holding her chest region, Nikita soon faces a vicious martial arts kick from Destiny, which nearly knocks her onto her back. Next, Destiny positions the ladder in front of the Nikita, bounces off the ropes and returns with a baseball slide dropkick, having the ladder bash up against her face. Kipping right back up, Destiny proceeds to stomp on Nikita, almost forcing her up against the bottom turnbuckle pad in the corner.

Sitting Nikita against the pads, Destiny bounces off the adjacent set of ropes and returns with another baseball slide dropkick; this time she goes so fast that she accidentally skids right past Nikita's face and lands on the floor. In fact, she refuses to take a moment to breathe, as she instantly wraps her hands around Nikita's chin, not allowing her to heal from the previous dropkick.

Draping Nikita over the bottom rope, Destiny applies a cravate/rope choke mixture, hoping to suck oxygen out of Nikita, which seems to work. Destiny hops up onto the side of the apron, propels herself into the air using the middle rope and comes crashing down with a stomp onto the back of Nikita's skull, which she does not once, not twice, but three times. Having Nikita seated back into the corner, holding the back of her head, Destiny re-enters by slingshotting herself back in over the top rope and hitting a double-stomp onto Nikita's chest, trapping her up against the bottom pad.

Now with Nikita rendered immobile in the corner, Destiny walks over to the ladder, stands it up and positions it underneath the title. However, before she can even get to the third step, Nikita receives a surge of adrenaline and pounces out of the corner, smashing her body up against the ladder, causing it to topple to the side, sending Destiny to the ropes, crotching her. Taking advantage of this, Nikita grabs the ladder and swings it at Destiny's head, sweeping her off the top rope, knocking her to the canvas.

Nikita gives Destiny a stomp, positions the ladder underneath the World Title above and commences climbing.

One rung climbed...

Two rungs climbed...

Three...

Four...

Seeing Nikita halfway up the ladder jolts Destiny to a standing formation, forcing her to charge up the opposite side of the ladder, where she and Nikita engage in a chop battle. A forearm knocks Nikita down a rung, allowing for Destiny to climb up an extra rung, as well. Now with the height advantage, Destiny leaps over the ladder, sunset-flips Nikita and sit-down powerbombs her all the way to the canvas from the side of the ladder. A "holy shit!" chant breaks out, while Nikita and Destiny lie prone in the ring, unable to move.

The first to make any sign of movement is Destiny, who actually uses the ladder to help herself up to her feet. Looking over her left shoulder, she gives Nikita another deadly kick, rolling her up against the ropes. Thinking she has Nikita done for good, Destiny starts to climb up the side of the ladder, but only gets a few rungs up, when Nikita crawls forward and darts up alongside her. From here, Nikita hammers Destiny with some forearms, turns her outward and then huracanranas her from the side of the ladder, sending her spiralling to the canvas below.

It goes to say that the ladder also topples over, landing against the side of the ropes.

The first up, Nikita, takes the ladder, lays it flat against the ropes and hoists Destiny up. She Irish-whips Destiny into the opposite set of ropes, ducks down and then backdrops Destiny high into the air, forcing her to land back-first across the ladder. Of course, this causes Destiny to lay upside-down on the steel structure, giving Nikita an idea on what to do next.

Heading to the outer portion of the apron, Nikita climbs to the top turnbuckle and wastes no time in leaping off, sailing through the air and landing a flying legdrop onto Destiny, who remains on the ladder. Sliding her off, Nikita now grabs the ladder and leans it against the corner. Next, Nikita hooks both of Destiny's legs and falls back, catapulting Destiny towards the ladder.

However, Destiny avoids danger by hanging onto the side of the object, looking over her shoulder and leaping backward, catching Nikita with a moonsault off the side of the ladder, surprising everyone in attendance, including her opponent.

Both woman lie in the ring, trying to be the first up, with Nikita actually being the girl to rise first. Lifting up the ladder, she turns around and goes to head to the middle of the ring, only to be surprised with a dropkick from Destiny, who connects perfectly with the ladder, sending it into Nikita's face. As a result, Nikita flies backwards, accidentally heaving the ladder over the top rope and onto the floor.

Nevertheless, Destiny remains in the ring, where she unloads on Nikita with a series of chops, shrugging off the tiny trickle of blood that now streams down her forehead. Using some more chops and slaps, Destiny is able to back Nikita up against the ropes, step back and charge forward, hoping to nail a clothesline. Before it can be hit, though, Nikita becomes aware of her plight, ducks down and goes to backdrop Destiny, who, instead of falling to the floor, lands on the side of the apron and grabs Nikita by her hair.

Yanking Nikita down, Destiny goes to re-enter the ring, only to receive an overhead kick from Nikita, who views Destiny try to get back in. Returning to a dazed position on the side of the apron, Destiny can only stand there, while Nikita rises to her feet and prepares to suplex her back in.

Considering she is Destiny Daniels, she is able to formulate a quick plan that involves her wrapped her right leg around the middle rope, halting the suplex attempt. Reversing the move, she sends Nikita to the floor with a suplex of her own, sending her out of the ring, off the apron and onto the concrete.

Gasping for oxygen, Destiny rolls back into the ring, taking her time to get to her feet, while Nikita rolls to her side, feeling the pain in her lower-back. Eyeing the steel ladder to her right, Nikita places both hands on it and gets to her feet, lifting it up, hoping to slide it back inside. Her plans are thwarted when Destiny recognizes what's happening, staggers over to the ropes and slingshots herself to the outside, giving a modified version of "The Rattler" to Nikita, thereby smashing the ladder into her face.

On the floor, Destiny picks up the ladder and officially slides it back inside, while Nikita desperately tries to get to her feet, even using the guardrail to try and stand. Luckily, her attemp to stand is sped up thanks to Destiny, who grabs her by the hair and rolls her back inside.

Before Destiny slides back inside, she grabs a steel chair and flings it into the ring, having it land on Nikita's face. Once inside, Destiny takes the chair, sets it up into a proper seated position and returns her forcus on Nikita, who is just now starting to get to her feet. After bashing Nikita's skull off the seat of the chair, Destiny whips her into the corner, allowing her to sprawl back-first against the turnbuckle pads. Next, she sets the chair up just a few feet in front of Nikita and goes to the opposite corner. Charging across the ring, she springboards off the chair, hoping to hit Nikita with a diving forearm attempt, but wishes she could take it all back once Nikita rolls to safety.

Destiny strikes the corner hard, while Nikita takes the chair, flattens it out and smashes it against the back of Destiny, knocking her face-first into the middle turnbuckle pad. Flinging the chair at Destiny's back, Nikita turns around, finds the ladder, sets it up and positions it directly beneath the title. As she begins her ascent, she notices Destiny starting to rise, forcing her to drop down and return to her attack.

However, unbeknownst to Nikita, Destiny has taken the previously used chair and is holding it against her chest, lying in wait for Nikita to come near. Inching closer, Nikita has no idea that she is about to be waffled, as she hunches over, grabs Destiny by the hair and...

Bam!

Seeing fit, Destiny swings her body around and catches Nikita at the base of her skull with a roaring chairshot that knocks her off her feet. She doesn't even allow Nikita to recouperate from that shot, either. Destiny immediately lifts her up, throws her up against the ladder and starts unloading with a series of Martial Arts Kicks onto Nikita's chest and stomach region, forcing Nikita to start coughing up some blood.

Next, Destiny stands Nikita between the ladder, striking her with a kick, making sure to keep her there. Bouncing off the ropes, Destiny springs back with a running dropkick that collapses the ladder, squashing Nikita in between the two sides. It goes without saying that both Nikita and the ladder topple over.

Keeping Nikita sandwiched in between the two sides, Destiny climbs to the nearest top turnbuckle and leaps off, hitting a moonsault onto the ladder/Nikita. Rubbing off the pain of landing on the ladder, Destiny turns to another corner, climbs it and leaps off with a somersault senton bomb onto the ladder, further squishing Nikita between the sides. Lastly, Destiny turns towards a third corner, climbs it and leaps off, landing planting both feet onto the ladder with a flying double-stomp.

Having Nikita firmly laid out, Destiny kicks her off the ladder and sets it up underneath the hanging World Title, with Nikita in between the two sides. Slowly, Destiny Daniels starts ascending the side of the ladder, hearing the crowd roar in raucous at the match they are witnessing, getting closer and closer to the prize at the top. Ironically, the sound of the roaring fans that is helping Destiny climb the ladder, also aides Nikita in awakening from her painful slumber.

Becoming quite aware of her predicament, Nikita scurries out from between the ladder and quickly escalates the opposite side of which Destiny is climbing. Like a bat out of hell, she strides up the side, also reaching out for the title, which Destiny is now clinging onto. Knowing that she has nothing left to lose, Nikita leaps off her side of the ladder and jumps at Destiny, latching onto her head/neck, while wrapping her legs around Destiny's waist.

Having Nikita pulling and yanking on her, trying to get her to release her grip on the title, Destiny accidentally slips off the ladder, sending it toppling into the corner, leaving both ladies hanging from the air, with Destiny still holding onto the World Title for dear life.

As they swing back-and-forth in the air, the fans chant in amazement, watching as Destiny desperately knees Nikita, trying to drop her; all while Nikita hangs onto Destiny, hoping to force her to release the grip on the title. The camera zooms in on Destiny's knuckles, which are now white and bleeding, not releasing the title for the life of her.

Nikita even tries elbowing Destiny from this position, but it's all in vain; as Destiny is finally able to slip the title off its hook, resulting in both women plummeting to the canvas below!

The bell sounds and the winner is made official.

Your new Sin Wrestling World Champion...... Destiny Daniels!

The camera fades out, showing Destiny still holding onto the title, her knuckles bleeding, hurting and proud to be the champion, while Nikita looks on, devastated.

Winner: Destiny Daniels
