[Without warning the lights suddenly dim and a spotlight starts shining on a speaker that hangs over the arena. A crackling sound starts eminating from the speaker growing louder and louder the longer the noise continues. Suddenly the crackling disappears and his replaced with the sound of a grown man whimpering.]

[PAGE]: Why do I have the feeling I am not going to like what is going to happen.

[MCCOY]:'Cuz your a wimp.

[The whimpering continues for several more seconds until the person behind the whimpering starts to talk]

[VOICE]:It's been a long time since I walked through the shadows. But yet it beckons me. Should I continue walking or should i turn towards the light. I.....am........torn..........What...............should...........I.... The voice suddenly cuts off being replaced with a raspy harsh woman's voice]

[WOMAN]: You would like to see the light wouldn't you. You would like to see the warmth beating down on your face. But old man it just isn't going to happen. For you there is only..........................DARKNESS!!!!!!!!!!!

[The CSWAtron bursts into life showing the words Darkness in bright blood red letters. The letters starts dripping and slowly the whole word slides down the screen and disappears. From the sound system Counterfeit God by Black Label Society starts playing. As Zakk Wyld starts singing the top of the ramp fills with a thick smoke and a strobe starts flashing giving the top of the ramp a surreal eeire feeling.]

##Can't you see I feel your pain?##
##I've got Jesus running through my veins##
##In this hopeless life that's turned on you##
##Give yourself to me, I'll help you through##

[The video screen starts showing various clips of Ripper Longshanks, Jack Cross and Jeremiah Blackwell and the newest members of the Darkness taking down various opponents via their respecitve finishers. The clips quickly fade away and show the faces of the six men slowly merging into a single distorted image.]

##I feed off your unanswered fear##
##When visions of life's end appear##
##Hand over your will and then you'll see##
##Now get on your knees and worship me##

[DIAMOND LOU]: And now entering the ring weighing at a combined weight of 518 pounds. The DARKNESSSSSSSSSSS.............

[Mr. Dude steps out onto the ramp and looks down at the crowd with disdain. Dude is dressed in a pair of black wrestling shorts with lime green lines going down the legs of the shorts. His black hair hangs down to his shoulders and his eyes sparkle with a malice that wrestling fans have grown used to. Light reflects off the Thugs Life tattoo on his chest and the camera quickly zooms in on the scar tissue that the Irishman acquired at the IWA's Ground Zero]

[PAGE]:This could be interesting. Although it wasn't announced at the beginning of the show the two Darkness members will be Mr. Dude and the leader of the Darkness Ripper Longshanks. Interesting combination

[PAGE]:It doesn't matter who the Darkness send out. It will be lights out for Boudreaux and his good buddy Adam-X.

##GOD NO! GOD NO##!
##Worship me##
##On your knees##
##Worship me##

[Last but not least the leader of the Darkness, "The Loose Cannon" Ripper Longshanks steps through the smoke and stands beside Mr. Dude.. The Loose Cannon is bare chested allowing the fans and the camera to pick up on the tattoo of the pair of hands tearing through his flesh. A pair of eyes (coincidently the same color as Ripper's) peer out from behind the hands. The light from the strobe gives the pair of eyes some life and they appear to blink each time the strobe flashes. Ripper's lower body is covered by a pair of full length wrestling pants that have the words Loose Cannon etched down the side of each leg. At the bottom of each letter N there appears to be droplets of blood pooling. ]

[Slowly Ripper raises his arms until the are over his head. He then drops them quickly to his side as a series of red pyrotechnics start going off behind the the three men, sending red contrails up toward the ceiling of the Kemper Arena. Ripper squats down and peers into the ring as the pyro comes to an end, then he slowly stands back up and the two members of The Darkness raise their arms in unison as lightbulbs from hundreds cameras start flashing.]

##In this world when at it's best##
##Of never ending hate and death##
##Abandon all and trust in me##
##Escaping from reality##
##My world it has no space or time##
##The crippled walk and the sick feel fine##
##Hand over your will and then you'll see##
##Now get on your knees and worship me##

[The two men start making their way towards the ring, Dude on the right and slightly behind Ripper. A fan waving a Hell Hath No Fury Like The Fury shoves the cardboard sign at Dude and waits for a reaction. Dude reaction is swift as he grabs the sign looks at if for several seconds and bursts into laughter. He then rips the sign up into several pieces before throwing it back into the face of the now dejected fan.]

[PAGE]: That was uncalled for.

[MCCOY]: That fan should consider himself lucky that he isn't picking his teeth off the floor.

##GOD NO! GOD NO!##
##Worship me##
##On your knees##
##Worship me##

[Now at ringside the two men seperate with Dude sliding into the ring where he immediately jumps on the nearest turnbuckle where he can more easily taunt the fans. Meanwhile Ripper has jumped on top of of the ring apron and has spun around so that he is facing the crowd. With his arms wrapped around the top top the Loose Cannon lets the crowd see the ever present shark grin before he flips himself over the top rope to join the angriest man in Ireland inside the ring.]

##Beyond this wall of life unknown##
##I'll lead you where you need to go##
##Void of worry, stress and pain##
##Left with nothing but your name##
##We've washed your brain and cleansed your soul##
##Till' nothing's all you need to know##
##Hand over your will and then you'll see##
##Now get on your knees and worship me##

[With Dude still standing on the turnbuckle, Ripper comes up beside him and leans on the ropes to help Dude in his efforts to piss off the fans even more. A chorus of boos and YOU SUCK echo throughout the arena but do little to bother The Darkness. Ripper turns away from Dude and the fans and saunters over to the middle of the ring where a moment later Dude joins him.]

##GOD NO! GOD NO!##
##Worship me##
##On your knees##
##Worship me##

[As Counterfeit God fades away Ripper starts conversing with Dude and the two wait for the arrival of The Fury]

[An electronic hum reverberates through the speakers...]

[PAGE]: HERE WE GO!!!!!

[The hum gets more volume, words start to be audible through the speakers, starting low and gradually getting louder with each repetition...]

#Bawitdabadabangadangdiggydiggy#
#diggysaidtheboogysaidupjumptheboogy#
#Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy#
#diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy#
#BAWITDABA DA BANG A DANG DIGGY DIGGY#
#DIGGY SAID THE BOOGY SAID UP JUMP THE BOOGY#

[The shot cuts to the backstage area, and the dressing room door opens. Annie Cole, dressed in a long black gown that draws whistles from the male audience along with a black leather coat over it and black sunglasses, comes out first. Behind her comes Adam-X, dressed in black wrestling tights with an X on each leg and 'FURY' on the back. Behind him, the Nighthawk is wearing the usual black jeans and a black 'Hell Hath No FURY...' jersey.]

[DIAMOND LOU]: AND THEIR OPPONENTS...

#BAWITDABA DA BANG A DANG DIGGY DIGGY#
#DIGGY SAID THE BOOGY SAID UP JUMP THE BOOGY#
#BAWITDABA DA BANG A DANG DIGGY DIGGY#
#DIGGY SAID THE BOOGY SAID UP JUMP THE BOOGY#

[The Fury reaches the stage and they stand behind the curtain as the cheers grow louder with every passing second. Annie rubs her husband's shoulders as he stares at the ground with a look that could burn through concrete, even from under the lenses of his mirrored sunglasses. Next to him, Adam grins as he stretches out his legs in the final seconds before war.]

#My name is KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID...#

[The trio burts onto the stage and Annie stands in the middle as Nighthawk and Adam stand on either side, staring down their opponents in the ring as they lift their arms into the air.]

#And this is for the questions that don't have any answers#
#The midnight glancers and the topless dancers#
#The candid freaks, cars packed with speakers#
#The G's with the forties and the chicks with beepers#

[Nighthawk rips off his leather jacket and throws it to the ground, running to the ring at top speed and losing his baseball hat and sunglasses on the way. Adam is hot on his heels as they explode into the ring and a full-scale brawl breaks out before Lou Walsh can even finish his introduction.]

[MCCOY]: CHEATERS!

[PAGE]: The bell hasn't even sounded yet and we have all hell breaking lose in the ring as the Fury are taking it to the Darkness in the opening moments!

[As Eddie Page stated, before the bell had even rung, all four men had paired off and were going at it tooth and nail; Nighthawk and Mr. Dude in one corner, Adam-X and Ripper Longshanks in the other. Adam and Ripper tied themselves up in an elbow and collar lock-up, while the "Reign of Pain" and the Irishman exchanged a quick series of lefts and rights on the opposite side of the ring. Finally, referee Barry Alexander called for the bell, as Nighthawk quickly overpowered the Axis/Darkness member, knocking him down and sending him into the corner, where Nighthawk proceeded to stomp away at Mr. Dude, yelling, "You want darkness? How dark do you want to get, mother(beep)!". Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the ring, Ripper managed to turn the lockup into a standing side headlock. Wrenching it into Adam's head for a few moments before Adam sent him into the ropes, but Ripper managed to avoid whatever the Authority member had planned by holding onto the top rope. However, Adam-X had it well-scouted, and nailed Ripper with a running lariat, the momentum of which carried both superstars to the outside!]

[PAGE]: The referee needs to get some control here...all hell is breaking loose!

[MCCOY]: It's End of Days, Eddie...of course all hell is gonna break loose!

[Meanwhile, back inside the ring, Nighthawk pulls the Irishman back up to his feet, bringing him back to the middle of the ring with a belly to belly suplex, followed by a German release suplex. Outside the ring, Adam and Ripper continuously brawl with a series of lefts and rights. Ripper suddenly gouged the eyes of his adversary and a kick to the gut later, Ripper tossed Adam-X straight into the steel ring steps]

[PAGE]: Mr. Dude's getting manhandled by the Reign of Pain inside the ring, while outside the ring, Ripper's got the upper hand over the Authority member!

[MCCOY]: [laughing] And how hard was it for you to say that, Eddie?

[PAGE]: What are you talking about, Russell?

[MCCOY]: You know, a Darkness member getting the upper hand over an Authority member! I'm loving it!

[Out of the corner of his eye, Nighthawk spots what has just taken place outside the ring to his tag team partner. He quickly abandons his attack to Mr. Dude and charges towards the ropes, springboarding off the ropes into a...]

[PAGE]: SPRINGBOARD PLANCHA!!! Nighthawk connected with a springboard plancha to the Darkness leader!!! All four men are down!

[MCCOY]: Boring!

[The sold out crowd began to chant in unison, "Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t!" Annie looks on in horror, and runs over to Nighthawk to make sure he's ok.]

[PAGE]: How can you call this boring, Russell? We've got non-stop action here and the crowd is loving it!

[MCCOY]: Bah...you call this "non-stop"?

[Nighthawk waves Annie off, and begins to grab hold of the ring apron to pull himself back up. As Nighthawk slowly begins to crawl his way back to his feet, inside the ring, Mr. Dude is already on his feet, and connects with a running baseball slide on Nighthawk. Mr. Dude grabs the Reign of Pain by the hair and tosses him back into the ring, then crawls in after him. Mr. Dude quickly jumps to his feet and lands an elbowdrop to the back of Nighthawk. A second elbowdrop...a cover attempt...]

One...

Two...

Easy kickout at two.

[PAGE]: It'll take alot more than a couple of elbowdrops to put Nighthawk away.

[MCCOY]: You said it, Eddie...

[PAGE]: Mr. Dude pulls Nighthawk to his feet, whips him to the far ropes and connects with a spinning heel kick!

[By this point, Ripper Longshanks and Adam-X have both managed to recover and take their places in their respective corners. Mr. Dude manages a German suplex on the Reign of Pain, and makes the tag to Ripper Longshanks.]

[MCCOY]: Yessssssssssssssssssssssss!!! Here we go, Eddie!!!

[PAGE]: Ripper comes off the ropes looking for a guillotine legdrop! He connects! A cover...

1...

2...

[PAGE]: He pulled him up at two!

[MCCOY]: Ripper's not done with him yet, Eddie!

[Longshanks gets Nighthawk back on his feet and hits him with a pair of knife-edge chops. He Irish whips Nighthawk into the Darkness/Axis corner, and Mr. Dude pulls him down by the hair, hitting the tope rope throat first. Barry Alexander came over to warn Mr. Dude, who simply raises both his hands pleading innocence. Ripper makes the tag, and they proceed to double team him with a series of forearms and kicks, followed by a double-underhook suplex.]

[PAGE]: Nighthawk's in a world of trouble right now, he desperately needs to find a way to make the tag.

[Adam-X stands on the ring apron, looking anxious to get into the ring. Annie looks on from the outside, hitting her hands on the mat, trying to urge her man to get back into the match]

[PAGE]: Mr. Dude with another cover attempt...

1...

2...

[PAGE]: HUGE KICKOUT BY NIGHTHAWK!!! Wow!!! He nearly threw Mr. Dude halfway across the ring, and Ripper Longshanks can't be happy with that!

[Indeed, Ripper doesn't appear all that happy at all, angrily shaking the ropes in frustration. Nighthawk, back on his feet, hits Mr. Dude with a forearm to the jaw. A second forearm to the jaw, followed by a short-armed clothesline, sending Dude crashing to the mat. Nighthawk looks over at Adam-X, and the crowd rises to its feet]

[PAGE]: Listen to this crowd!!! They want to see Adam-X in this match, and that's exactly what they're gonna get! Nighthawk makes the tag!

[MCCOY]: Oh, great...real exciting, Eddie!

[Adam-X connects with a knee drop to the head of Mr. Dude, which he follows by pulling him back up to his feet. A kick to the gut, and a snap-suplex, followed by a springboard moonsault. Cover...]

Kickout

[Adam continues to press the attack with a series of fists to the head and face of Mr. Dude. Adam-X to his feet, goes off the ropes on the Fury side of the ring, making the blind tag to Nighthawk. Adam goes off the far ropes, but Ripper Longshanks hits the Authority member with a boot to the back. Nighthawk charges into the ring and goes right after Longshanks, but Alexander blocks him, having not seen the blind tag]

[PAGE]: Come on, Barry! He made the tag!

[MCCOY]: Hey, it was a blind tag...too bad Alexander's blind as a bat!

[Indeed, the Darkness/Axis members proceed to double team behind the referee's back, as Longshanks puts the chokehold on Adam-X and the Irishman grabs him by the feet. Annie screamed at the referee to turn around, which he finally does. He warns the Darkness/Axis members, who ignore the referee and make the tag. Ripper goes up to the top turnbuckle. Mr. Dude hits a DDT, and Longshanks connects with a double axe handle. Cover...]

[PAGE]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! He kicked out! Adam-X kicked out!!! Unbelievable!!! Another tag, and in comes Mr. Dude...they whip Adam-X off the far ropes, missing with the double clothesline, and ADAM-X HITS THEM WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN!!! What a counter!!!

[MCCOY]: Bah...lucky break! But all three men are down.

[PAGE]: Nighthawk stomping on the ring apron here, urging his partner to get back to his feet! He stumbles over and makes the tag!!! Nighthawk into the ring with a running lariat to Mr. Dude! Another one to Longshanks! Drop-kick to Mr. Dude, and he's caught in the ropes...he's caught in the ropes as Nighthawk hits him with a running forearm, and out goes Mr. Dude...

[MCCOY]: But out goes Nighthawk as well! He got a little too much momentum on that one, Eddie!

[PAGE]: They're brawling on the outside, but they're down on the inside. Alexander's gonna start counting them out...

Kickout!

[Nighthawk, meanwhile, has the upper hand on the outside, and Irish whips Mr. Dude into the guardrail, crumpling to the floor. Nighthawk takes his spot back in the corner, and Longshanks taunts him to come into the ring. He charges in, but Alexander cuts him off, allowing Longshanks to put an illegal chokehold on Adam-X, but Adam-X manages to counter with an elbow, a second elbow, a third elbow, and breaks the hold, charging off his own ropes, making another blind tag to Nighthawk, which this time, the referee manages to see. Adam-X connects with a running forearm, and Nighthawk leaps off the top rope with a flying guillotine legdrop!]

[PAGE] ..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Longshanks just barely kicked out!!! the match continues!!!

[MCCOY]: Amazing resiliancy from the Darkness leader!

[Nighthawk picks longshanks up and whips him across the ring to the opposite corner. Making the tag once again, Nighthawk flies across the ring with a huge splash, then whips Longshanks out of the corner right into a...]

[PAGE]: HUGE SPEAR TACKLE!!! A HUGE SPEAR TACKLE BY ADAM-X!!! Adam going up to the top rope, what's he gonna do???

[Adam-X climbs up to the top turnbuckle, but as he goes up, he makes another tag to Nighthawk, who also climbs up top, and with Longshanks in the middle of the ring, Nighthawk grabs his partner in a headlock, raising him high above the ring in a suplex position and flapjacks him from the top rope straight down onto Longshanks, but...]

[PAGE]: HE MISSED!!! Adam-X missing with a huge high risk manouever, and Longshanks is gonna make the tag to Mr. Dude!

[Mr. Dude and Ripper Longshanks double-team with a double-underhook powerbomb. Longshanks to the outside, Mr. Dude connects with a pumphandle slam, followed by a side Russian legsweep. He tags Longshanks back in, hitting the Authority member with an inverted back breaker rack, which Longshanks follows up with an off the top rope elbowsmash.]

[MCCOY]: COVER HIM!!!

[MCCOY]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[PAGE]: Nighthawk broke the three count!!! Nighthawk broke the three count!!!

[MCCOY]: I told you they were cheaters, Eddie!!!

[Once again, Alexander forces Nighthawk to the outside. Meanwhile, Longshanks goes right back on the attack with a cobra clutch suplex, followed by an over the shoulder stomach breaker. Suddenly, Longshanks flashes the old familiar shark grin, and locks in...]

[PAGE]: THE STRAIGHTJACKET!!! HE'S GOT THE STRAIGHTJACKET ON ADAM-X!!!

[Longshanks taunts Nighthawk, who then tries to get in the ring, but as Alexander cuts him off once again, Mr. Dude comes into the ring and proceeds to pummel the Authority member, as does Longshanks]

[PAGE]: Come on, ref!!! Turn around!!!

[MCCOY]: Hey, it's legal if the ref doesn't see it!

[The referee does indeed turn around, but by now it's too little, too late, as Adam-X lies prone in the middle of the ring, unable to make the tag to his Fury partner. Ripper, still wearing the shark grin, flashes the signal for...]

[PAGE]: THE DEEP END!!! OH MY GOD, LONGSHANKS IS GOING FOR THE DEEP END, AND THIS COULD BE ALL OVER!!!

[MCCOY]: Go for it, Ripper!!!

[Longshanks does indeed connect with the Deep End, but rather than immediately hooking on Boston crab, he hangs on and connects with not just one but two more powerbombs, before finally cinching in the Boston Crab]

[MCCOY]: He's gotta be out of it...this match is over...

[Longshanks further cinches the crab in, and Adam-X yells out in pain. Alexander kneels in to see if Adam-X will tap out...]

[MCCOY]: COME ON, ADAM!!! TAP OUT, DAMMIT!!!

[Alexander asks him if he gives, but Adam, still determined as ever, shakes his head...Ripper tries to lock it on harder, but Adam bridges his back and desperately reaches for the ropes...Ripper locks it on harder, but Adam, still reaching, makes a desperate lunge, and...]

[PAGE]: HE MADE IT TO THE ROPES!!! ADAM...MADE...IT!!!

[MCCOY]: How the hell does he do it, Eddie??? He should have been down and out ages ago!

[Ripper goes in for the attack, locking on a front chin lock, but Adam counters with a desperation mule kick to the "crown jewels". From almost a hand-stand position, Adam-X scissors both his legs around the head of the Loose Cannon, and connects with a snap-hurricanrana!]

[PAGE]: What an innovative manouver from the X-Perience of a Lifetime!

[MCCOY]: Innovative, Schminovative, Eddie...bah.

[Adam-X quickly kips up, suddenly reinvigorated by the crowd chanting his name and chanting for Nighthawk...Adam goes over to the Fury's corner, and...]

[PAGE]: TAG TO NIGHTHAWK!!! A TAG TO NIGHTHAWK!!! And Nighthawk comes into the ring and he's absolutely on fire!!! An uppercut to Longshanks! Mr. Dude comes charging in, and he gets an uppercut for his troubles as well!!! Listen to this crowd!!!

[MCCOY]: Bah, mindless sheep, all of 'em.

[Nighthawk grabs Mr. Dude by the ankles and slingshots him right into Adam-X, who connects with a leg lariat. Adam-X follows it up by scooping Mr. Dude up and nailing a press slam, as Nighthawk goes after Ripper. All four men are once again inside the ring, and once again, all hell is breaking loose. Barry Alexander struggles to maintain control in the ring, and as Nighthawk goes to Irish whip Longshanks into the corner, Longshanks reverses it, but inadvertantly sends the Reign of Pain crashing right into Alexander]

[PAGE]: Alexander is out, and there's no referee!

[MCCOY]: Great, now those Fury cheaters can get away with all kinds of shennanigans!

[As Nighthawk bumps into Alexander, he bounces right back towards Longshanks, who lands a kick to the gut and a reverse DDT on Nighthawk, before kicking him right out of the ring. With Nighthawk down on the outside, the Loose Cannon quickly turns his attention back to Adam-X, who is working Mr. Dude over in the corner. Longshanks nails him with a forearm to the back, followed by a suplex into the middle of the ring. Longshanks yells something at Dude, who slides out of the ring and grabs a steel chair, which he slides back into the ring. Longshanks sets the chair up in the middle of the ring, and whips Adam-X off the ropes, and...]

[PAGE]: BACK BODY DRIVER!!! A HUGE BACK BODY DRIVER ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR!!! AND ADAM-X IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE HERE, FOLKS!!!

[MCCOY]: He's been in serious trouble for almost the entire match, but that's gotta hurt!

THWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWACK!!!

[PAGE]: Longshanks with a chairshot to the back of Adam-X!!! Come on, that's enough!

[MCCOY]: Hey, he knows...look, see, he just threw the chair out of the ring!

[PAGE]: But the damage is done, Russell. Ripper goes for the pin, but there's no referee! THERE'S NO REFEREE!!!

[Mr. Dude climbs back into the ring and rouses Alexander, who struggles to make it over to make the count...]

[slowly counting...]

[still slowly counting...]

[PAGE]: Dear God, no...not like this...NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HE KICKED OUT!!! MY GOD!!! SOMEHOW ADAM-X DUG DEEP INTO THAT WELL AND MANAGED TO KICK OUT FROM A SURE THREE COUNT!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[Mr. Dude, who was moments ago raising his hands as a sign of victory, suddenly turned to a look of utter astonishment at the Authority member kicking out from such a devastating manouver. Annie clapped on the outside and slapped her hands on the mat, once again trying to help revive Adam and also to get the crowd back into the match]

[MCCOY]: How in the hell is Adam-X even still alive after that back body driver into the chair???

[PAGE]: I have no idea, Russell, but Ripper's looking mighty frustrated right now. He's gotta wonder, what will it take to put away the Fury?

[MCCOY]: As much as I can't stand to say this, but I gotta admit, Adam-X is turning in one hell of a gutsy performance here tonight!

[PAGE]: Longshanks tags in Mr. Dude, and he's going up to the top turnbuckle...FLYING ELB...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ADAM-X ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!!! HE ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY, AND HE...MAKES THE TAG!!! HE MADE THE TAG!!! In comes Nighthawk!!!

[Nighthawk immediately makes an acrobatic leap from the ring apron to the top rope, springboarding off the top rope into some sort of corkscrew huricanrana. He whips Mr. Dude into the corner and nails him with a huge...]

[PAGE]: SPINEBUSTER!!! A SPINEBUSTER!!! COVER HIM!

1...

[MCCOY]: NOOOOOOO!!! KICK OUT, DUDE!!!

2...

[Just before the 3 count, Longshanks jumps in and breaks up the count, but this time the Loose Cannon is on the receiving end of the warning from Barry Alexander, who forces him back towards his corner. Nighthawk makes the tag to Adam-X...]

[MCCOY]: He's either crazy or stupid to make the tag back in now!

[Nighthawk whips Mr. Dude off the ropes and goes right for his stomach, and as he hops over him, the Irishman is met with a spinning heel kick from Adam-X]

[PAGE]: Where the hell does he find the energy???

[MCCOY]: Steroids?

[PAGE]: What did you say?

[MCCOY]: Nothing!

[Adam-X kips back up again, waiting for Mr. Dude to once again rise to his feet, and when he does, he's greeted once again with a huge superkick. With Dude down, Adam-X makes the tag to Nighthawk, who immediately goes up top...]

[PAGE]: Now what are we gonna see?

[That question is soon answered as Adam-X grabs Nighthawk by the wrists and flips him over his head into a spiked flying senton, while simultaneously, Adam-X springs off the ropes and connects with a rolling thunder to Mr. Dude.]

[PAGE]: Another cover!!!

[PAGE]: Thr...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Ripper breaks up the three count again! Nighthawk springs back to his feet and lands a dropkick to the Loose Cannon, sending him tumbling through the ropes, right to the outside. Nighthawk turns to Adam, and Adam makes the signal for...]

[PAGE]: THE X-BOMB!!! THEY'RE GOING FOR THE X-BOMB!!!

[MCCOY]: Come on, ref! They are illegally double-teaming him, get one of those cheaters out of there!

[Adam positions Mr. Dude in a powerbomb position with his back to the turnbuckle as Nighthawk goes to the top. Adam then lifts the Irishman into the powerbomb as Nighthawk flies off the top and hooks him in a Prey Catcher, riding it to the ground as Adam powerbombs him. Adam keeps hold of the legs as Nighthawk keeps the Prey Catcher cinched in for a few seconds, and then Nighthawk releases the hold as Adam wraps him up into the X-Calibre.]

[PAGE]: This has GOT to be it!!! It's over!!!

[But then suddenly, Longshanks, back on his feet from the outside, nails Nighthawk from behind with a knee clip, and as he turns his attention to Adam-X, he drops the hold as Mr. Dude slowly rolls to the outside, barely moving as he lands on the outside]

[PAGE]: Mr. Dude is out cold, and it's two on one now!

[MCCOY]: Try one on one, Eddie...Nighthawk's looking a little worse for the wear after that knee clip from Longshanks!

[PAGE]: That's a good point, Russ...

[MCCOY]: Of course it is! They don't call me the "Best Damn Announcer in Wrestling" just because I need another nickname, Eddie!

[PAGE]: You just don't ever quit, do you, Russ?

[MCCOY]: Quit? Nah, I'm just getting started!

[Adam and Ripper engage in a brief mid-ring staredown, followed by a lock-up. Ripper gets him into a headlock, which he cinches in further, but Adam reverses his way out of it with a huge...]

[PAGE]: BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX!!! COVER!!!

[PAGE]: KICKOUT BY LONGSHANKS!!! And Mr. Dude is still down on the outside, he's still not moving!

[Ripper looks outside at his downed tag team partner. His shark grin replaced with the look of one who was seriously pissed off. Back up to their feet, and Adam-X goes for another suplex, but Longshanks reverses it and hits him with a full nelson slam. Longshanks goes for the cover...]

[PAGE]: KICKOUT!!! LONGSHANKS KICKED OUT!!!

[MCCOY]: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

[PAGE]: Longshanks is doing just about everything he can to keep in this match...

[MCCOY]: Which is a damn sight more than I can say about Mr. Dude right now. He still hasn't moved from the outside!

[PAGE]: Both Fury members are on their feet. They got Longshanks back up on his feet. What are they gonna do next?

[They whip the Loose Cannon off the ropes, setting him up for a double clothesline, but instead, Longshanks grabs hold of the top rope and flips himself over to the outside, where a prone, unconscious Mr. Dude lays flat on his chest. Longshanks yelled at him to get up, but after no response, Longshanks just angrily grabbed him slapped him on the back, and tosses him back into the ring.]

[PAGE]: Was that a tag? I think he just made a tag!

[MCCOY]: What, is he nuts???

[PAGE]: Adam goes for the cover!!! He's got the leg hooked!!!

[But before "Diamond" Lou Walsh could finish the announcement, out from the back come the other members of the new Darkness/Axis alliance...Loki, Laslow, Blackwell, Cross...they all came charging out and proceeded to lay the beatdown on both Adam-X and Nighthawk. As Annie looked on in horror, she yelled up the entranceway for help, when all of a sudden...]

[PAGE]: HERE COMES THE AUTHORITY!!! THE AUTHORITY ARE HERE!!!

[And sure enough, out came the Authority members...Napalm, Constantine, Mace, and Kushner, and a huge brawl breaks out all around the ringside area between members of both factions]

[PAGE]: The odds are all even now!!!

[MCCOY]: Bah, the Darkness and Axis were doing just fine without those idiots sticking their noses in where they don't belong!

[PAGE]: You would say that, wouldn't you?

[With Adam still down, Napalm, Kushner, and Constantine start taking care of business outside the ring, while Nighthawk and Mace continue to fight off the attackers from inside the ring. As Mace and Nighthawk both spun around, they bumped into each other...]

[MCCOY]: Uh oh...Here we go, Eddie!

[Mace and Nighthawk stood nose to nose, eye to eye, for the first time since the infamous Blood Feud.]

[PAGE]: I know this is gonna sound cliche, but you can cut the tension in here with a knife, Russell!

[MCCOY]: You can say that again, Eddie...no, wait...don't say that again!

[Figuring that two of their hated enemies are about to tear each other apart, the Darkness and Axis members back off, and make their way to the exit. The rest of the Authority members look on and watch as the two men talk back and forth, neither one appearing ready to back down. Finally, Adam gets back to his feet and puts an arm in between the two to seperate them. Nighthawk finally glances at Adam, grins sarcastically at Mace, and then rolls out of the ring, leaving with Annie while Adam consults with the rest of the Authority]

[PAGE]: My God, what's gonna happen next between those two?

[MCCOY]: I dunno, Eddie, but one thing's for sure, it's not over yet.

[PAGE]: I hate to say it, but you're probably right, Russell.

[MCCOY]: See? Damn, am I good or what?
