[FADE UP]
[The lights of the arena go out suddenly. Complete darkness fills the whole are as the P.A. screams to life as well as the giant screen. Dark, black and white video fills the screen with the Authority logo and words flashing with water marks and scratches. The crowd explodes as lights start swirling around the arena and the music comes to life.
[MCCOY] And here we go for our main even tonight. It has been non stop action so far on Wildfire and we are not letting up.
[PAGE]: This is going to be a very important match. Not only does the winner advance in the Tag tournament, but this match puts stablemates against stablemates in an I QUIT match. In Robert Marshall's ever present attempt to destroy the Authority, he has manipulated the tournament where Constantine and Napalm will face Adam-X.
[MCCOY] Manipulated? I am insulted Eddie. Marshall just did things fairly and to make sure that the fan whore, Adam-X will not be able to hog the spotlight and cheat throughout the match.
[Two fireworks shoot from the lighting rig above the ring and down to the stage, criss crossing to form a giant silver X in the air. They hit the stage causing two giant explosions happen on the stage. The lights in the arena come back on fully as a figure walks out of the opening. The crowd is on their feet and deafening the arena as the two men in the ring stare at the stage in disbelief.
[PAGE]: And ADAM-X IS HERE!
[MCCOY]: Why do the fans through themselves at this fake? Will someone tell me why he is so great?
[PAGE]: If you really have to ask that question, then you need to open your eyes.
[With his neck length blond hair hanging freely, Adam-X stares at the arena with his trademark mischevious smile across his face. Black tights hug his body with silver flames running up the side of this thigh to the Adam-X symbol at the top fo the flames. His black boots up to his calf have the same symbol in silver on the outside of the boots. A black elbow brace is on his left elbow. He is in top shape as his muscular upper body shows. He stands on the stage and soaks in the cheers. He soaks and absorbs every scream and cheer for him. He looks around and throws his arms over his head to form and X. The crowd screams even louder as he does this.]
[Adam stands there enjoying every second of the crowds cheers. He makes his way down the ramp and slides into the ring. The fans scream and chant his name as he goes from turn buckle to turn buckle, crossing his arms into an X. The fans scream louder as Adam-X gets them even more rilled up. Adam eventually goes to the corner and waits on Napalm and "Devil's Own" Alex Constantine to come down.]
[PAGE]: Now all we are waiting on is for the Authority to make their way out for what should be a match to remember.
[MCCOY]: And there is no way that they can cheat tonight. Marshall is a genuis for making this match an I QUIT match. Oh, are these idiots going to pay as he forces Napalm and Constantine to destroy their best friend on his Road to Redemption.
[PAGE]: Sometimes I think you enjoy this way too much.
[MCCOY]: Making me the best in the damn business.
[The lights in the arena suddenly go off. The only light left is that of the Giant screen of the Jumbotron. The symbol of the Authority flashes on the screen as the fans begin to cheer. Black and white video of Adam-X, Jeff, Kushner, Napalm, Mace, and "Devil's Own" Alex Constantine show at both work and out of the ring, dirty prints with water marks and scratches on the film. Suddenly fire screams up on the stage booming across the length of metal structure. THe P.A. screams aloud as the Authority's music, "Pts.of.Athrty" by Linkin Park pours through Arena. The fans are on their feet and screaming loudly.]
[The fire jumps higher and suddenly in the middle of the stage it lowers. Fire raging all around them and through the opening of the fire wall, "Devil's Own" Alex Constantine and Napalm walk through the stage to the arena. The fans cheer loudly going crazy for the young superstars. The lights in the arena come back as the fans are cheering and a small amount chanting for the Authority members as the CSWA fans are in the arena. Alex and Napalm stand looking over the crowd, raising their arms over his head at the edge of the stage. Both men's eyes filled with intensity as they looks towards the ring at Adam-X.]
[Alex stands there dressed for battle with the Great Plains Championship belt hanging on his right shoulder. Wearing black half tights, Silver fire travels up his right side. He is wearing black knee pads with black boots up his calves. Both boots have the Authority symbol on the outside in silver. Alex is wearing a black elbow brace on his left arm. Both fists and wrists are taped up in white athletic tape. The lights show the definition to his well developed upper body and arms. His brown hair is spiked up in the bed head style as his green eyes shine through the arena. He has on his black AUTHORITY:CSWA T-shirt. There are no sleeves and it is cut down the sides as it hangs on his muscular frame].
[Napalm is dressed in black tights. Silver Authority symbol along with right side of his thighs and silver flames up the left side. His massive physique shines under the lights. His long black hair hangs down his shoulders as his fists and wrists are taped up. The wall of fire drops down as the Authority makes their way down the ramp and to the ring. They smacks the hands of his fans on both sides as they head down. Alex jumps up on the ring apron and climbs into the ring. Napalm walks up the metal steps onto the ring apron. He steps over the top rope and into the ring as the fans continue to cheer for them.]

Alex hands the Great Plains Championship belt to the referee and pulls the T-shirt off, throwing it out to crowd where it is attacked by the fans. Napalm and Alex lean back into the corner with their arms on the ropes, keeping their eyes trained on Adam-X. All three men go to the center of the ring and stare at each other briefly. A few words are exchanged with smiles. Napalm walks over to the corner and steps over the ropes as Adam and Alex square off. Barry Alexander motions for the bell.]
[PAGE]: And we are under way as Constantine is starting things off for his side.
[MCCOY]: And Adam-X starts things off for his side. Wait, he has to start things off because the moron has no partner.
[PAGE]: All part of his road to redemption which we still have no idea why Robert Marshall is doing this to Adam-X.
[MCCOY]: Who cares. He is getting what he deserves.
[Alex and Adam lock up in a collar and elbow tie up. Adam goes for a hiptoss but Alex blocks it. Alex tries to reverse it and hit a hiptoss but Adam blocks it. Adam locks on a side headlock on Alex but Alex manuevers out of it, reversing it to a side headlock of his own. Adam moves out locking an wrist lock on Alex who promplty counters and reverses it into a wrist lock of his own. Alex twists hard but Adam rolls onto the ground coming up and locking an arm bar on Alex. Alex moves and counters it with an Armbar of his own.]

[MCCOY]: Do I need to give you some alone time? You seem to be getting a little excited watching your boys.
[PAGE]: Why don't you call the match...unbiased for once.
[MCCOY]: Ohhhh, testy.

Adam holds onto Alex's right leg and quickly drops and elbow into his knee. Adam jumps back up and drops another elbow. Adam drops another elbow on Alex's right knee. Adam-X jumps up and crosses Alex's legs setting up his submission move.]
[PAGE]: ADAM-X is going for the X-CALIBRE! Adam is going for the X-CALIBRE!
[MCCOY]: Alex isn't letting that happen though.
[Alex quickly starts moving along the mat grabbing the bottom rope before Adam can flip him over and lock the move in. Barry Alexander moves in making Adam-X break the hold.

[PAGE]: And Big Scary comes into match. Adam-X better get his wits together from that last move he took from Alex Constantine.
[MCCOY]: If we waited on Adam-X to get his wits together, I would be dead of old age before that happened.
[Napalm steps over the top rope and into the ring. As Adam-X is getting up, Napalm begins to pummell him with hard forearms shots to his back, leveling the blond superstar to the mat. Napalm stands over him and grabs hold of the ropes for leverage as he delivers a series of hard stomps to the back and neck of Adam-X. Napalm backs off as the crowd is torn of who to root for. Napalm pulls Adam-X up by his hair to his feet and grabs him tightly around the waist in a devestating bear hug.]
[PAGE]: That bearhug of Napalm's could end this here and now.
[MCCOY]: Well, he isn't around for his intelligence.
[Napalm squeezes Adam tightly and shakes him as he tries to endure the massive pain. Napalm cinch's it in tighter, locking his hands to hold Adam-X in the air. Adam looks up in pain as Napalm motions to Alexander who walks over with the microphone.]
[NAPALM]: Do you quit? Say it Adam!
[ADAM-X] NO! You're buying the first round tonight though for your headache.
[Adam-X slams his forehead down onto Napalm's with a hard headbutt. Napalm steps back but doesn't release the hold. Adam-X brings his arms up and delivers a hard right hand into Napalm's face. Napalm takes another step back, the hold slightly releasing as Adam-X delivers another hard right hand. Adam-X claps the sides of arms against Napalm's ears causing the big man to let go. Adam-X falls to his feet to the ground. He steps back and bounces off the ropes, running at Napalm.]
[PAGE]: Adam struggled there but got Big Scary to release that devastating Bearhug of his.
[MCCOY]; He had to do something before ribs started to crack.
[Adam runs at Napalm jumping up to hit him with a flying forearm. Napalm takes a step back but doesn't go down. Adam-X runs and bounces off the ropes again as Napalm tries to get his bearings.

[ADAM-X]: NO!
[CONSTANTINE]: QUIT! Do you QUIT?
[ADAM-X]: NEVER! I NEVER QUIT! Didn't I teach you anything?

[PAGE]: WHAT IS ROBERT MARSHALL DOING HERE?
[MCCOY]: I don't think that he liked seeing Adam-X on a comeback in the match. I think he is chosing the lesser of two evils here.
[PAGE]: He has no business being here at this match and inflicting more torture on the AUTHORITY.
[MCCOY]: No right? The man owns the company. He can do any thing he wants and we welcome his presence every chance we get.

[PAGE] MY GOD, I can't believe what I just saw. That is appalling that Robert Marshall would get involved in this match up.

[Napalm leans in more, pulling Adam's arms behind him more. Pain surges through Adam's face as Alexander walks over with the microphone. Napalm has the hold locked in tightly on the exhausted superstar. ]

[ADAM-X]: NO!
[Napalm leans in more, pulling on Adam-X making pain shoot through his arms and back.]
[NAPALM]: FOR GOD'S SAKE, Just QUIT!
[ADAM-X]: NO! I AM NOT GOING TO QUIT!
[NAPALM]: Do you QUIT?
[ADAM-X]: NO!
[Napalm leans back and locks more pressure on Adam-X with a leg scissor around Adam's waist, cutting some air flow and cutting off his legs. Adam-X can go nowhere. There is no way to break the hold as he lays his head against the mat, trying to ignore the pain. His face screams as Napalm leans back in with more pressure.]
[NAPALM]: DO YOU QUIT?
[ADAM-X]: NO....NO
[PAGE]: I don't think Adam-X is going to quit. He is still fighting this but there is no way out. He just refuses to give up.
[MCCOY]: He needs to just get it over with and get out of pain. He is delaying the enevitable. He could end this all now by just quitting.
[PAGE]: That is not Adam-X's style though. He doesn't give up.
[Alexander is checking on Adam-X who is not fighting back anymore. His head is laying on the mat with his eyes closed. Robert Marshall is up and to the ring.]

[ADAM-X]: N..N..NO!
[Napalm pulls back on the move. Adam-X isn't fighting as the pain is getting too much. Alexander is checking on Adam-X again to make sure he isn't out. ]
[NAPALM]: ADAM, QUIT! Do you QUIT?
[ADAM-X]: ........
[DING! DING! The bell sounds signalling the match over]
[PAGE]: What just happened? Adam-X didn't say he quit. No one quit!
[MCCOY] Look! Marshall called for the bell.
[PAGE]: This isn't fair. What is he saying.
[Marshall is yelling at the referee and telling him to raise the hands of Alex Constantine and Napalm. He is motioning to Adam-X and is yelling at the referee. The microphone in the referee's hands picking up most of the conversation.]
[MARSHALL]: HE SAID I QUIT! NOW RAISE THE HANDS OF THE CONSTANTINE AND NAPALM.
[ALEXANDER]: I didn't hear him say anything.
[MARSHALL]: HE SAID I QUIT! NOW DO WHAT I SAY OR HEAD TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE!
[Alexander looks over at the men in the ring. Napalm and Constantine are in the ring. Alex is helping Adam up who is half out. Alexander looks back at Marshall and then back at the men. He walks over and raises the hands of Alex Constantine and Napalm as the crowd cheers but is in shock at the same time.]
[DIAMOND LOU]: AND YOUR WINNERS!!! "DEVIL'S OWN" ALEX CONSTANTINE AND NAPALM, THE AUTHORITYYYYYYY!!!!!!
[PAGE]: This is unfair and just plain wrong!
[MCCOY]: What are you crying about? Your boys still won.
[PAGE]: But not this way. Not with Marshall sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.
[MCCOY]: Careful, or Robert may not like what you are saying.
[PAGE]: I don't care right now. Whatever personal grudge he has against Adam-X, this is not the way to handle it. He ruined a great match, soiled this sport, and it makes me sick.
[MCCOY]: Anyone looking to work with me needs to apply at the CSWA home office.
[Robert Marshall walks around the ring smiling as the heads to the ramp. The Authority stands in the ring fuming at what the Marshall just pulled. Alex walks over to Barry Alexander and grabs the microphone from him. He goes to the ropes and starts addressing Marshall who is walking backwards up the ramp, smile up his face.]
[CONSTANTINE]: MARSHALL! You think you are so damn smart. You want to punish us all for what? For some personal grudge you have. You have crossed the line to far this time. Bad enough you made this match happen but we played things your way. Now, we do things our way! Remember, that this is all your fault in the end.
[Marshall stares at the ring with a look of shock and bewilderment. The crowd suddenly explodes as Jeff Kushner comes running from the opening. He grabs Robert Marshall from behind by his collar and drags him to the ring. The crowd is deafening as Kushner throws Marshall under the ropes into the ring. Napalm walks over and grabs Marshall up by his collar and stares at him. Marshall is frozen by fear as the large man holds him like he is nothing.]
[MCCOY]: I don't like the looks of this. God, get out of there ROBERT. SOMEONE HELP HIM!
