Dan: It's been several weeks since we've heard anything out of the Johnny Payne camp. As far as we know, his condition hasn't exactly improved that much. Last we heard, he still hadn't regained any feeling below his waist. We're anxiously awaiting an update not only on his condition, but also on his future in the sport of pro-wrestling. He is not here tonight. He has not received clearance from his doctors and he is obviously in no condition to wrestle anytime soon. He was, however, scheduled to meet the man who claims to have ended his career, "Hardcore" Henry Thunder. Thunder will face Blackjack Takahashi instead. Andy Burton is standing by with the introduction of this match. Andy: This contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Phoenix, Arizona, weighing 277 pounds, "HARDCORE" HENRY THUNDER!!! Dan: This man's attitude has gone from bad to WORSE!!! Ever since he "injured" Johnny Payne, he's been on an ego trip a mile wide! Dima: Hey, if you can back up your words, why not? Andy: And his opponent, from Tokyo, Japan, weighing 245 pounds, BLACKJACK TAKAHASHI! Dan: The ever-dangerous Blackjack Takahashi making his way down the aisle. These two men have met before. In that match, Blackjack was soundly defeated and he has revenge in his eyes tonight! Dan: This match is underway as both men not wasting any time in going at it! Takahashi still in his long black leather jacket! Both men punching away at each other! Thunder gaining an edge with his heavy right hands! Takahashi backing up and Thunder tosses him under the top rope to the floor! Thunder going out after him and they're brawling on the outside! Ramon De La Cerveza trying to keep this in the ring! We've got a full scale brawl on the outside! Thunder ripping the jacket off of Blackjack and OH--Blackjack with a low blow!! Thunder is stunned and Takahashi picks up a chair! BOO-YAA! He cracks him right on top of the head with it! Now he throws it in his face and rolls Thunder back in the ring! Dima: They should both be disqualified! Dan: Blackjack putting the boots to Thunder now! He is out for revenge! Thunder pulling himself up with the ropes, but Takahashi still laying those devastating right hands to the kidney area! Takahashi grabbing Thunder by the legs and he pulls him to the center of the ring! Takahashi trying to roll Thunder over! He gets him in a Boston crab! Thunder is in trouble and Blackjack attempting to soften up the back! Dima: This Thunder is not such a bad guy after all! Dan: Thunder pushing up! He powers out of the hold!! Takahashi goes flying to the outside! I think he hit his head on the steel barricade! Takahashi is down and Thunder going to the outside! Thunder picks up Blackjack and he whips him to the steel!! Thunder now follows up with a clothesline and Takahashi finds himself in the first row of this sold out Fleet Center crowd! Dima: I think this Takahashi is better off where he is! Dan: Thunder pulls the Japanese superstar back over the guardrail and OH NO!! He's just pulled our table away from us!! (Dan and Dima's headsets become detached. Thunder sets up the table in the center of the ringside area while Dan and Dima stand off to the side. Takahashi is slowly getting to his feet. Thunder turns his attention to Blackjack and picks him up for a vertical suplex. He holds Blackjack high in the air for all to see before bringing him down through the table. The loud crack echoes throughout the Fleet Center and many fans let out a gasp of awe. Thunder rolls the lifeless body of Blackjack Takahashi in the ring and gets back in the ring himself. He ignores the admonishing referee Ramon De La Cerveza is giving him. Dan and Dima realize it is safe and pick up their headsets. They remain standing for the rest of the match.) Dan: I can't believe what Henry Thunder just did! Dima: He doesn't belong in a wrestling ring! Dan: A demolition derby would be more like it! Thunder now picking up Takahashi into the Hardcore Torture Rack!! Ramon checking it and Takahashi gives it up!! Andy: The winner of this match, at a time of 7 minutes and 17 seconds, "HARDCORE" HENRY THUNDER!!! Dan: He's not letting go of the hold!!! Ramon De La Cerveza still calling for the bell, but what good is that gonna do?!! Thunder is trying to end everyone's career!! This guy has lost it!! Argie Otero is making her way down the aisle now with an army of security!! She's gonna put an end to this!! Dima: She can't take on Thunder! Dan: She's looking Thunder right in the eyes and telling him to break the hold!! Thunder just spit in her face!!! He's still got Takahashi in the Torture Rack!! Argie signaling the security guards! OH MY!! They just tackled Thunder!! They bring him to the mat and now they're pinning him down! What're they doing?! They've just handcuffed Henry Thunder!! Dima: "Handcuffed" Henry Thunder sounds like a good name! Dan: They're taking him away and Argie Otero has been insulted! I think it's safe to assume that Henry Thunder will be fined accordingly! Right now fans, let's take you backstage to where Brandon Yeager is standing by with Legion! Brandon: I'm here with Legion! Now Mr. Legion, you've been here in the AICW since it began. Tonight you take part in what could possibly be the most important match of your career. What are your thoughts on Mark McMahon? Legion: Mark McMahon. Mark McMahon! Do you wanna know my thoughts on McMahon? Well I'll tell you my thoughts om McMahon! Mark, much like his father, is nothing but a load-down, backstabbing, egotisitical, self righteous jerk, whose stench in the wrestling industry is unbearable! I hate everything that McMahon stands for, and I'm going to do everything in my power to see to it that after tonight, McMahon NEVER WRESTLES AGAIN! Brandon: This match could have a big effect on the International Title division! If you are victorious tonight, what are your plans for the future? Legion: The AICW International Title! Ever since I have arrived into this federation, for some strange reason, Argie Otero has something against me! In a perfect world, I would be stripping Garibaldi of his International Title! If it wasn't for my master, Kyle Bane, Argie would probably still HAVE ME HOMELESS! However, I am a patient man, and Otero can't protect Garibaldi forever! The time will come where Legion will knock the 8-Ball into the corner pocket of the wrestling industry, and finally, I will get what I have coming to me! AICW Championship Gold! Brandon: One final question, if you do get an International title shot, who would you choose to face? Legion: I'll fight anybody! I doesn't make any difference to me! 8 Ball, Valentini, Mista Smith, I'll take them all on! Because what you don't realize AICW is that because of your mistreatment of Legion, you have released a force within me that you cannot hope to comprehend. A force that is going to consume each and every individual that tries and gets in my way! My only purpose is to glorify my master Kyle Bane! And anyone that tries to deny my master of the glory that he is due, WILL BE ANNIHILATED!!!!!!!!!!! Brandon: There you have it from Legion! Back to you guys on the outside! Andy: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 260 pounds, LEGION!!! Dan: Legion sounding VERY determined to wipe out Mark McMahon! Andy: And his opponent, led to the ring by the lovely Kelly Lynn, from Stamford, Connecticut, weighing 245 pounds, MARK MCMAHON! Dan: Listen to these fans cheer Mark on his way to the ring! Byron Brady is staying in the locker room getting ready for his match but there you see him watching the match! (The camera shows "Hard Line" Byron Brady in the locker room watching Mark McMahon's entrance on a small television. Brady is doing jumping jacks as he watches.) (DING DING DING) Dan: There's the bell and this match is underway! Both Legion and McMahon staring coldly at each other from both ends of the ring! You can feel the tension between these two! Dima: Look at the hatred in their eyes! Dan: Both men's eyes not blinking! Referee Peter Kaplan is giving instructions as they slowly move to the center of the ring! Neither man is paying attention to it! McMahon and Legion are completely focused on each other! Dima: Neither man's eyes move! Dan: Both men standing face to face!

Legion now with an eye gouge followed by another stiff shot! McMahon staggering backwards and Legion with a forearm smash to the upper back area! Legion now pounding away like a madman! Those are closed fists!! Dima: Legion's eyes are bloodshot! Dan: This guy is obsessed with destroying Mark McMahon! Referee Peter Kaplan pulling Legion away from Mark McMahon and he's warning him about the closed fists! Kaplan must try to keep these guys from exploding! Legion pulling McMahon by the hair to the center of the ring. He whips him to the ropes, McMahon back and a knife-edge chop by Legion! McMahon lands flat on his back as a result of that blow! Legion kicking McMahon in the leg right near the knee! He's working over the knee! Legion drops the elbow on the left knee! He's getting back to his feet...FIGURE FOUR by Legion!! He's right in the center of the ring! There is nowhere for Mark McMahon to go! Legion dominating this match! Dima: Successfully applying this move early in the match will give him an advantage later on! Dan: Mark screaming in pain! He's trying to crawl to the ropes, but it's no use! Legion screaming at McMahon to give it up! He won't quit! McMahon trying to roll out of it! Can he get this over? If he does, Legion will be the one hurting! He's got it halfway over! Listen to these fans cheer for McMahon!!! They're encouraging him and he's responding!! McMahon reverses it! McMahon reverses it!! Legion struggling to reach the ropes and he does, but McMahon has broken out of that painful hold! Legion slowly getting to his feet, McMahon still on his hands and knees! Dima: We're only a few minutes into this match, but both men already look like they've been through a war! Dan: Legion picking up McMahon. He sends him to the ropes, reversal by McMahon. Legion comes back, SPINEBUSTER by Mark McMahon! Listen to these people go nuts! McMahon is pumped up, and he's getting to his feet! Legion flat on his back, and McMahon applys a figure four of his own!!! Legion in some serious pain, and he's trying to reach for the ropes! He's waving his arms like a madman trying to grab something! He just grabbed hold of referee Peter Kaplan's pants, but that doesn't count! Legion lets go and he's slowly pulling himself backwards to the ropes! Mark McMahon putting all his effort into this move! Legion only about a foot away from the ropes! Dima: He better get there soon or else this match will be over! Dan: Legion still pulling himself to the ropes! McMahon putting everything he has into this hold! Legion grabs the ropes, but I don't think McMahon realized it! He's still got the hold on! Referee Peter Kaplan breaking the hold, and Mark McMahon looks a little frustrated with himself! He goes to pick up Legion, but Legion grabs a handful of tights and guides Mark McMahon through the ropes and to the floor! Nice leverage move by Legion! McMahon hits the concrete floor hard and now Legion with an opportunity to collect himself. Legion, however, going out on the apron. BOO-YAA! He nails McMahon with an elbowdrop from off the ring apron! Legion shouting at the ringside fans! He picks up McMahon by the hair. Fisherman suplex on the concrete by Legion! Legion rolls back in the ring, leaving McMahon laying on the outside! Legion is once again in control of this match! Dima: He should be going for the pin. Dan: Mark getting back to his feet now, but he is hurt. These men have given it their all since the outset! McMahon getting back in the ring. He looks tired, but you can still see the determination in his eyes! Legion nails him with a stomp to the back of the head! He brings McMahon to his feet and picks him up for a body slam!

Dan: McMahon is down on the mat! Legion putting all of his weight on McMahon! There is no way that McMahon is gonna get up from this! Referee Peter Kaplan lifts McMahon's arm in the air!
