[PAGE]: We're back, folks! And as if this week's edition of WildFire! couldn't get any more intense, this next match coming right up in just a few moments will not only be right off the charts, but it may even throw those charts right out the window, Russell!
[McCOY]: You said it, Eddie...not to mention all the rules as well! Call up the city morgue and make sure there's two empty spots available, 'cause we might need 'em after this match tonight!
[PAGE]: That's right. Last week right here on WildFire! Murray Monroe was informed by Robert Marshall that the old MSWA Gravity Title now belongs to the CSWA, and if his client, Quinn Tate, wanted to legitimately lay claim to the title, he'd have to put it on the line right here tonight against Authority member Jeff Kushner in a falls count anywhere TLC match! Right now, let's go up to ringside, 'cause it's time!!! Gravity Title on the line! Take it away, "Diamond Lou" Walsh!
[DIAMOND LOU]: Ladies and Gentlemen, this next contest, scheduled for one fall, is the TABLES...LADDERS...AND CHAIRS MATCH...AND IT IS FOR THE CSWA
GRAVITY CHAMPIONSHIP!!! And in this match...FALLS...COUNT...ANYWHERE!!!
[A huge chant of "SEE ESS DUBB EH!!! SEE ESS DUBB EH!!!" breaks out in the crowd before the two superstars even made their entrance. The camera pans all around the ring-side area, showing all the tables, ladders, and chairs that are all strewn around the ringside area, about to be used to inflict all kinds of destruction by the two individuals who awaited their intros from "Diamond" Lou.]
[The lights dim and the screens go black. On the screen appears the frail looking figure of an elderly man. He stands alone holding a cane against a black backdrop. His soft voice echoes over the speakers across the arena...]
[OLD MAN]: The darkness cannot reign forever...eventually the dying light will revive. Tonight...a new candle is lit...soon, the whole world will be on fire... Breakfast well, for NOW we dine together in HELL!
[The old man cackles and screeches, his laughter crashing across the building. Moments later, �Always� by Saliva hits the loudspeakers...]
[DIAMOND LOU]: And now...entering the ring ,.. from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 225 pounds... Authority member.... JEFF KUSHNERRRRRRRRR!!
[PAGE]: Listen to these fans go crazy at the announcement of the Authority member! His presence has them lit up!!
[McCOY]: Bah... They�re all sheep... He�s a cheater...
[PAGE]: Wow Russell! ... Look at those scars! This is our first chance to get a close look...
[McCOY]: I didn�t think he could get much uglier...
[Kushner steps slowly out from the back looking quite different from the man seen just a month ago at the first ever CSWA pay-per-view. His face is marked with the scars of that match-up, a gash over his left eye, from his forehead to his cheekbone, and a second across the opposite cheek from his nose to his ear. He chest is also scarred with a long mark, and his childhood scar across his belly. He�s wearing an unbuttoned black shirt and a pair of black cargoes. His hair is completely shaved off, getting rid of the classic spiked hairdo that was his trademark. More importantly though, Jeff was smiling...a huge smile...]
[As the song hits the first chorus, Jeff raises his hand in a salute to the crowd, before making his way down to the ring. With each step, a blast of fireworks lets off on either side of the entrance ramp. The lights raise with a huge blast of pyros from all around the ring, and unlike his usual stare of concentration, Jeff is actually grinning, and cheering out to the crowd.]
[PAGE]: The fans just can�t get enough of him!! They�re going crazy!!
[McCOY]: Crazy... good choice of words Eddie... I can�t believe they like this abusing cheater...
[PAGE]: He�s clearly a changed man tonight! And can�t you just admit that the video last week cleared him! He didn�t hit his wife! Just give him that...
[McCOY]: [hesitating for a half-second then changing gears] And he has Marshall to thank for it! I wonder what his Authority buddies think of that! HA!
[Eddie suddenly had nothing to say as the music began to die down...]
[His music quieted off, and he prepared himself to face Quinn...]
[DIAMOND LOU]: And his opponent, from New York City, New York, weighing in at 197 pounds...he is the CSWA GRAVITY CHAMPIONNNNNNNNN..."QUICKSILVER" QUIN TAAAAA...
[But before "Diamond" Lou Walsh could finish his intro, Tate was already on his way to the ring, dropping his belt on the ground about halfway up the aisle. Jeff Kushner greeted the charging champion with a baseball slide to the outside. Referee Barry Alexander called for the bell to begin the match as he too slid to the outside to retrieve the Gravity Title belt, which he raised up for the crowd to see before handing it off to the timekeeper.]
[PAGE]: These two aren't gonna waste any time here! This match is underway!
[McCOY]: Come on, Tate!
[The two began to brawl on the outside, exchanging lefts and rights and knife-edge chops. Kushner went for an uppercut, blocked by Tate, who responded in kind with a kneelift to the midsection.A second knee lift, and Tate with the upper hand, Irish whipped Jeff right into the steel steps on the outside.]
CRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!
[PAGE]: What an impact!!! You can hear the sound of those steel stairs reverberating throughout the Dakota Dome, Russell!
[McCOY]: Hahaha, look at Kushner bouncing off those steps!!! Serves ya right!!!
[PAGE]: Kushner is down, and Tate's got a chair!!! Tate's got a...no, wait! Kushner kicked him in the gut, knocking the chair right out of Tate's hands! Another kick to the mid-section, and Kushner's got the champ reeling here!
[McCOY]: Cheater!!!
[With the Gravity champion staggering backwards, Kushner lands one more hard kick to the gut, sending Tate flying right back into the guardrail. Kushner slowly rose to his feet, and as "Quicksilver came back off the guardrail, he was met by Kushner with a...]
[PAGE]: THESZ PRESS!!! A HUGE THESZ PRESS ON THE OUTSIDE BY KUSHNER!!! And Kushner is pummeling away at Tate!!!
[McCOY]: Figures...he can't beat Tate in the ring, so he has to do it on the outside...what a cheater!!!
[PAGE]: Ummm, Russ, it's falls count anywhere, remember?
[McCOY]: Bah.
[Kushner gets back up to his feet and retrieves the chair, dropped moments ago by Tate. With Tate still down in the corner, Jeff takes a huge swing at the Gravity champion, which connects with a scintillating impact. Tate rolls over in pain, and Kushner connects with a second chairshot, this time to the lower back. Kushner raises the chair above his head, as the fans continue to chant "SEE ESS DUBB EH!!! SEE ESS DUBB EH!!!]
[PAGE]: Listen to this capacity crowd on its feet!!!
[McCOY]: Kushner's wasting too much time here, listening to all these sheep!
[Kushner drops the chair, and pulls Tate back up to his feet]
[PAGE]: Kushner rolls Tate into the ring.
[McCOY]: Finally!!! About damn time, too!
[Kushner slides in under the bottom rope. Springing himself off the ropes, he hits Tate with a knee drop to the face. Kushner picks the Gravity champion back up to his feet and nails him with a belly to belly suplex. He picks Tate back up again, and hits him with a German release suplex. He goes for another German suplex, but "Quicksilver" counters by flipping out of it and over Kushner's head, landing right on his feet. Quickly spinning Kushner around, Tate lands a boot to the midsection and connects with a Crossed Arms DDT to Kushner]
[PAGE]: What a counter by the Gravity Champion!!!
[McCOY]: Yesssssss!!!
[PAGE]: Tate's slow to get back up...he's going to the outside, what's he gonna do?
[McCOY]: Here comes a ladder, Eddie!!!
[PAGE]: Right you are, Russ. Tate's got himself a ladder, he slides it under the bottom rope...Kushner back up to his feet...UNBELIEVABLE!!! KUSHNER WITH A HUGE BASEBALL SLIDE SENT THE LADDER RIGHT INTO QUINN TATE'S FACE!!! WHAT AN IMPACT!!!
[McCOY]: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Kushner goes out to the ring apron, the ladder still hanging off the side of the ring. Jeff uses the ladder as a catapault, springing himself right off the ladder and onto Tate with a...]
[PAGE]: SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!!! And Kushner going for a cover on the outside, the first pinfall attempt of the match...
ONE...
TWO...
Kickout at two by Tate.
[PAGE]: This match once again goes to the outside...
[McCOY]: Like I said, it's the only way Kushner can beat him...heaven forbid an Authority member winning a match in a "fair fight", Eddie!
[Kushner grabs a table and sets it up half way so that only one set of legs is extended while the other is still tucked underneath. Jeff scoops Tate up and slams him on the concrete floor. The Authority member pulls the Gravity Champion back up to his feet again, and Irish whips him towards the half set-up table, but Tate reverses the Irish whip and goes down, hitting a huge drop toe hold that sends Kushner face first into the table, smashing the table in half...]
[PAGE]: OH MY GOD!!! KUSHNER GOES FACE FIRST THROUGH THE TABLE!!! FACE FIRST THROUGH THE TABLE!!! AND KUSHNER IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN!!!
[McCOY]: That one's for Honey, Jeff!!!
[PAGE]: Don't even start, Russell! And Tate's got a broken piece of the table and...
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!
[PAGE]: ...hits Kushner with a shot to the head! Another shot!!! A shot to the midsection! Tate drops the table piece and he's got another table! Tate's setting up another table!!!
[McCOY]: More wood! I love it!!!
[PAGE]: Tate's got Kushner up on the table. He slides back into the ring, where he's got the ladder...the Gravity champion setting the ladder up inside the ring...now what?
[McCOY]: The CSWA Gravity Champ's about to show that loser Kushner how it's done, that's what!!!
[Tate climbs up to the top of the ladder, as Kushner lays prone on the table on the outside. Tate jumps off the top of the ladder and soars through the air, connecting with an corkscrew moonsault splash, sending himself and Kushner straight through the table]
[PAGE]: MY GOD!!! MY GOD!!! HE'S BROKEN IN HALF!!!
[A huge "SEE ESS DUBB EH!!! SEE ESS DUBB EH!!!" chant once again breaks out from the capacity crowd. Kushner is down; likewise, Tate is slow to get back up as well, but as he does, he rolls over onto Jeff, and hooks the leg for another cover attempt...]
ONE...
TWO...
THR...
[PAGE]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HE GOT A SHOULDER UP!!! KUSHNER GOT A SHOULDER UP!!!
[McCOY]: Is he crazy??? He should have just stayed down for the three count, instead of putting himself through more punishment!!!
[Tate slowly gets back to his feet. He grabs a steel chair and opens it up, setting the chair up. He grabs another chair and does the same, setting it up immediately opposite the other chair. He picks Kushner up and nails him with a huge...]
[PAGE]: SIDEWALK SLAM!!! HE JUST SIDEWALK SLAMMED KUSHNER RIGHT INTO THOSE STEEL CHAIRS!!!
[McCOY]: Ok, that's it...he's dead!
[PAGE]: The champ hooks the leg of Kushner, and this one looks like it's over...
ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
[PAGE]: MY GOD!!! MY GOD, WHAT DETERMINATION FROM KUSHNER!!!
Kushner kicked out at 2 9/10ths!!!
[McCOY]: Stupidity, more like it!!!
[PAGE]: There is absolutely no quit in this man...NO...QUIT!!!
[Tate back up to his feet, he tosses the chairs out of the way, making room for something else. He goes under the ring and pulls out a table, setting it up on the outside of the ring, and rolling Jeff Kushner back into the ring. Tate goes up to the second turnbuckle...then up to the third turnbuckle, and leaps off the top with a catapult leg drop suicida onto Kushner. Tate grabs the ladder and lays it on top of the downed Authority member.]
[PAGE]: And look at this, Tate is going right back up to the top turnbuckle!!!
[McCOY]: These guys are insane!!! Well...Kushner, mostly...Tate's alright!
[PAGE]: Tate off the top rope with a twisting somersault senton onto the ladder!!! But I think that move may have taken just about as much out of the champion as it took out of the challenger!!! Tate's slow to get back up!!!
[McCOY]: COVER HIM, TATE!!!
[But instead of going for the pinfall, "Quicksilver" Quinn Tate rolls back out to the outside, and grabs another folded up table, which he sets up on top of the table already set up. Tate slid back into the ring and grabbed the ladder, folding it up. Tate, waiting for Kushner to rise once again to his feet, nailed the former CWF World Heavyweight Champion with a huge battering ram to the face, sending him back into the ropes. Tate, still holding the ladder, turned and took a huge swing at Kushner's head, sending him over the top rope to the outside. Tate slid to the outside, and grabbing Kushner, he placed him on top of the second table. Tate rolled back inside the ring, and slowly began to set the ladder up towards the corner of the ring, closest to the tables.]
[McCOY]: My God...he IS insane!!!
[PAGE]: What the hell is the Gravity Champ gonna do here???
[The CSWA Gravity Champion slowly began to mount the ladder, one rung at a time. However, as he began to climb, on top of the second table, Jeff Kushner began showing some signs of life. Bleeding rather profusely, he slowly rolled over to his side, then somehow managed to roll off the top table and onto the ring apron]
[PAGE]: MY GOD!!! KUSHNER'S CLIMBING THE LADDER ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!
[McCOY]: He just doesn't get it!!! He doesn't know when to stay down, does he, Eddie???
[PAGE]: Tate's on top of the ladder, but so is Kushner!!! What's gonna happen here, Russ???
[The challenger and champion hook up in a collar and elbow tie up near the top of the ladder, the two tables sitting ominously just a few feet away. Jeff lands a shot to Tate's head. A second shot, and Tate is reeling a little bit, but Kushner continues climbing the ladder, pulling Tate up with him. Another shot just for good measure, then Kushner grabs the Gravity Champion, and...]
[PAGE]: "SILENCE FOREVER"!!! JEFF KUSHNER WITH A "SILENCE FOREVER" DOMINATOR OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER THROUGH TWO TABLES!!! MY GOD!!! MY GOD!!! BOTH MEN ARE BROKEN IN HALF!!! TATE IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!
[THE FANS]: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!
[PAGE]: We haven't seen Kushner do anything like that since the very first "Round the World" Tables match against Seamus Finnegan nearly three years ago!!!
[McCOY]: Three years later, he STILL hasn't learned anything!
[PAGE]: I'd beg to differ on that one, Russell...
[McCOY]: Admit it, you're just like the rest of these sheep, aren't ya, Eddie?
[PAGE]: [ignoring the comment and continuing to call the match] Kushner with a cover...WE COULD HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!!!
ONE...
TWO...
[PAGE]: IT'S OVER!!!
[McCOY]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
AND...
THREE...
[MCCOY]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[PAGE]: HE KICKED OUT!!! MY GOD, QUINN TATE KICKED OUT AT THE VERY LAST POSSIBLE MILLISECOND!!! MY GOD IN HEAVEN!!! I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!
[McCOY]: UNBELIEVABLE!!!
[PAGE]: Kushner going for another cover!!!
ONE...
TWO...
[PAGE]: KICKOUT AT TWO!!! TATE KICKED OUT AT TWO!!!
[McCOY]: Bah, it'll take more than that for Kushner to beat this guy!
[PAGE]: More than what??? He just put Tate through two tables!!! What more could he possibly do???.
[Kushner rolls Tate back into the ring, the blood congealed in the champion's white hair. Kushner goes under the ring apron and pulls out...]
[PAGE]: ANOTHER LADDER!!! MY GOD!!! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT LADDER!!!
[Kushner slides the ladder under the bottom rope. He then drags the Gravity Champion over towards the first ladder, which he folds up and places on top of Tate. Kushner then drags the second ladder and places it on top of the first ladder. The Authority member springs off the ropes and...]
[PAGE]: ROLLING THUNDER!!! A ROLLING THUNDER FROM JEFF KUSHNER ON TOP OF TWO LADDERS!!!
[McCOY]: That's gonna leave a mark!!!
[Kushner tosses both ladders off to the side, and hooks the champion's leg for another pinfall attempt]
ONE...
TWO...
KICKOUT AT 2 14/15ths!!!
[PAGE]: What the hell is it gonna take to win this match???
[McCOY]: Apparently alot more than that! Tate's showing why he's the Gravity Champion, and somehow I get the feeling it'll take a trip to the morgue before Jeff'll be able to get that belt off of him tonight!
[PAGE]: I'm beginning to think you might be right, Russell...
[McCOY]: Why thank you! They don't call me "The Best Damn Announcer in this business" for nothing!
[PAGE]: Who's they?
[McCOY]: What?
[Back to the match, the former referee slides back out of the ring and grabs another steel chair, anmd slides it back into the ring. Kushner pulls Tate right back up to his feet, and Irish whips him into the corner turnbuckle. Taking the smaller ladder and placing it right on top of Tate, Kushner then sets up the chair in the middle of the ring and charges across the ring, leaping right off the chair through the air, connecting with poetry in motion, driving the ladder right into Tate's ribcage and skull, causing him to bleed even more.]
[PAGE]: POETRY IN MOTION!!! POETRY IN MOTION!!!
[The impact causes the folded up ladder to fall down and hit the mat; likewise, the impact from the move causes the champion to fall down face first onto the fallen ladder. Jeff Kushner isn't in much better shape either, having propelled his body right across the ring and into a ladder.]
[THE FANS]: SEE ESS DUBB EH!!! SEE ESS DUBB EH!!!
[Kushner, slow to get back up to his feet, begins to set up the other ladder on one side of the ring, right by the ring ropes. Slowly he begins to mount the ladder, climbing one rung at a time up the 20 ft. high ladder. However, Tate begins to show signs of life, slowly staggers back to his feet, bleeding rather profusely. As Kushner makes it to the top rung, Tate, running on fumes, made a desperation leap off the chair and right into the ladder, the momentum sending Kushner flying off the top of the 20 ft. high ladder and into the second row of the Dakota Dome, scattering fans everywhere!]
[THE FANS]: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!
[PAGE]: MY GOD!!! WILL SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH??? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INHUMAN!!!
[McCOY]: AND I'M LOVIN' EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!
[PAGE]: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!!! KUSHNER MUST BE OUT COLD!!! OUT COLD!!!
[McCOY]: Out cold nothing, he's dead!!!
[Tate, totally worse for wear, rolls himself to the outside. With Kushner down in the crowd, the CSWA Gravity Champion climbs the guardrail. He raises both arms in the air, and leapst off the guardrail with a suicide senton, but...]
[PAGE]: HE ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!!! MY GOD, KUSHNER ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!!! THERE'S STILL SOME FIGHT LEFT IN HIM!!!
[McCOY]: But not much!!!
[Kushner, also bleeding profusely, staggered back to his feet for a moment, but collapsed from the pain. Both men down, referee Barry Alexander began to count...]
ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
FOUR...
[PAGE]: No, don't let it end like this!
FIVE...

[Kushner slowly began to stir, rolling back up to his side...]
