[Nighthawk rips off his leather jacket and tosses it to the outside, jumping up on the turnbuckle and pointing down at the Axis, flipping them both off.. Adam holds the ropes open for Annie before he stands on the middle rope and taunts their advasaries to enter the ring.]

[DIAMOND LOU]: From Detroit, Michigan and Seattle, Washington, accompanied to the ring by Annie Cole...NIGHTHAWK...ADAM-X...THE FURY!!!!!!

[PAGE]: Perhaps the greatest tag team in the history of this great business and they definitely mean business here tonight!

[McCOY]: Matter of opinion, Eddie...matter of opinion.

[PAGE]: Well, in my opinion, these guys aren't gonna waste any time...the match is underway! Adam-X is going after Laslow...Nighthawk's going after Taranis...all hell is breaking lose!

[Adam-X and Laslow lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up, but Adam-X quickly wins the test of strength by shoving Laslow straight into the corner and immediately stomping away, driving him down into the corner. While this is going on, Taranis exchanges lefts and rights with Nighthawk, landing a boot to the gut, which Nighthawk catches. Taranis goes for an enziguri, but Nighthawk counters with a step-over spinning heel kick, sending Taranis through the ropes to the outside. As Adam-X ceases stomping on Laslow, Nighthawk charges across the ring with...]

[PAGE]: Baseball slide drop kick!!! What a move from the "Reign of Pain"!!!

[Nighthawk's baseball slide drop kick sent Laslow crashing into the corner turnbuckles with such huge velocity that he bounced back off the turnbuckles and back towards the middle of the ring. Nighthawk tags Adam-X, who jumps up onto the top rope and connects with a...]

[McCOY]: No chance!

[Barry Alexander began to count]

[Laslow kicked out at 2. Adam-X quickly rose to his feet and once again tagged his partner back in]

[PAGE]: Nighthawk going up to the top rope, what's he got planned?

[PAGE]: CROSS BODY!!! CROSS BODY!!! Cover!!!

[Taranis charges in with a diving axhandle to the back of Nighthawk]

[PAGE]: And Taranis into the ring to break up the count!

[Alexander cautions Taranis, as he's not the legal man in the match. However, with the damage done to Nighthawk, Laslow rolls over and tags in Taranis]

[McCOY]: Alright! Here we go now! Come on, Taranis!

[Taranis picks Nighthawk up and connects with a pumphandle slam, driving Nighthawk into the mat. The Axis member goes off the ropes and hits a diving headbutt into the shoulder of Nighthawk. Taranis back up to his feet and once again tags in Laslow]

[PAGE]: And here comes Jonathan Laslow, scooping him up and...slams him down to the mat! Laslow hooks the leg, cover...

[PAGE]: Laslow dragging Nighthawk towards the middle of the ring, what's he gonna do?

[McCOY]: I think he's gonna set him up for a...

[PAGE]: SURFBOARD!!! He's got him in a surfboard!!! But Adam-X comes in to break it up...

[McCOY]: CHEATER!!!

[Referee Barry Alexander pushes Adam-X back towards his corner. Meanwhile, inside the ring, Laslow hooks on a Boston Crab, augmented by Taranis adding extra leverage by pulling on Nighthawk's arms, causing him to stretch]

[PAGE]: Talking about a cheater, come on ref! Get back in there!

[McCOY]: Cheater? Where?

[PAGE]: You know damn well, Russell...

[McCOY]: I didn't see anything and neither did the ref!

[By the time Barry Alexander turns around, Taranis is already back on the outside. Laslow makes the tag to his partner, who comes back in and connects with a rolling German suplex. Whipping Nighthawk into the ropes, he connects with a spinning heel kick, followed by a DDT attempt, but...]

[PAGE]: BACK BODY DROP!!! Somehow Nighthawk reveresed it with a back body drop!!! It took alot out of him, but he made the back body drop and...TAG TO ADAM-X!!! TAG TO ADAM-X!!!

[McCOY]: NOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Adam-X leaps up to the top turnbuckle and flies across the ring with a guillotine legdrop, but...]

[McCOY]: NOOOOOO!!! DAMMIT!!!

[Laslow immediately begins to work on the knees of Adam-X. He stomps on Adam's knee, grabs him by the foot and lands an elbowdrop to the knee...a second one connects...followed by a third. Laslow drapes Adam-X's leg on the bottom rope and climbs up to the second rope, splashing right down on the leg, putting pressure on the knee]

[PAGE]: The Axis appear to be in control here, and Adam-X desperately needs to make a tag...

[McCOY]: Duhhhh...ya think?

[PAGE]: Laslow looks like he's gonna go up there again...NOOOOOOO!!! WHAT A COUNTER BY ADAM-X!!! WHAT A COUNTER!!! He got his foot up and nailed Laslow in the groin!!! Adam-X needs to make the tag!

[Adam-X grabs a hold of the ropes and pulls himself towards the corner, trying to make the tag, as Annie slaps the mat on the outside, trying to get the fans back into it and to urge Adam on to make the tag to her husband, but from out of nowhere comes a charging Taranis into the ring, dropping the elbow on Adam...]

[PAGE]: Alexander needs to get some control here, or else this match is gonna break down into total chaos...

[McCOY]: And what's wrong with that, Eddie?

[Alexander forces Taranis back into the corner, while Adam-X makes a lunging tag to Nighthawk. The crowd pops loud, but...]

[PAGE]: What are you doing, Barry??? He made the tag!!!

[Barry Alexander blocks Nighthawk from getting into the ring, having not seen the tag]

[McCOY]: Hey, lay off on Barry, Eddie, he's just doing his job making sure those cheaters don't get away with anything!

[Meanwhile across the ring, Laslow has the sharpshooter locked in, Taranis holds Adam-X in a camel clutch for a few moments, then quickly slides out of the ring as Alexander turns around. Laslow keeps the sharpshooter locked on in the middle of the ring...]

[McCOY]: Come on, Adam...tap, dammit!!!

[PAGE]: Adam-X holding on here for dear life, but it's not looking good!

[Alexander leans in to see if the Authority member is ready to submit. Adam's hand seems poised just above the mat, looking almost ready to tap...]

[McCOY]: TAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!

[But thanks to Annie and Nighthawk's urging him on from the outside, as well as the fans, Adam clenched his hand into a fist...]

[McCOY]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Adam begins to crawl towards the rope, as Laslow tries to keep him in the middle, but to no avail as Adam...]

[PAGE]: HE MADE IT!!! HE MADE THE ROPES!!!

[PAGE]: Are we gonna see a figure fo...NOOOOOOO!!! WHAT A REVERSAL!!! WHAT A MOVE!!!

[What Page was referring to, was that as Laslow went for the figure four, Adam managed to kick Laslow off, sending him straight into his own corner and knocking Taranis right off the ring apron and into the guardrail. Adam quickly kips up and...]

[PAGE]: What a clothesline!!! Adam-X with a huge running clothesline!!! And there's the tag!!! In comes Nighthawk!!!

[PAGE]: All four men in the ring, and Alexander's almost completely lost control here...

[McCOY]: Hey, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!

[Laslow and Nighthawk brawl in one corner, Adam and Taranis in the other. Exchanging lefts and rights, slaps, knees, boots, etc., the Axis seem to be in control as grab a hold of both Fury members and Irish whip them both into the middle of the ring, but Nighthawk reverses the Irish whip, sending Laslow straight towards Adam-X, who also reverses the move with a...]

Adam-X back to his feet, charging towards Nighthawk, who backdrops him over the top landing a high-impact somersault legdrop, knocking Taranis down. The crowd on it's feet, begins a chant of "HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!"]

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

[DING DING DING!!!]

[PAGE]: THEY DID IT!!! THE FURY HAVE WON!!! THAT'S 2 FOR 2 AGAINST THE DARKNESS!!! AND LISTEN TO THIS CROWD GO NUTS!!!

[McCOY]: Bah...mindless sheep.

[DIAMOND LOU]: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS...THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURY!!!

[PAGE]: Listen to this capacity crowd, Russell! The Fury have won, and the crowd couldn't be happier!

[As the Fury made their way back up the ramp, slapping hands with fans along the way, something else was happening inside the ring...]

[McCOY]: What's this all about?

[PAGE]: I...I dunno, Russ...

[As Jonathan Laslow got back to his feet, Taranis yelling at him. Laslow yells back. Taranis shoves Laslow. Laslow shoves him back, when suddenly...]

[PAGE]:OH OH! The rest of the Darkness have appeared and they don't look happy.

[Standing on the top of the rampway are Ripper Longshanks, Johnny Storm , Jeremiah Blackwell and Loki. Blackwell and Loki immediately start walking down the ramp towards the other two members of the Darkness. They slide into the ring and quickly seperate Laslow and Taranis. ]

[RIPPER]:This shit has got to stop right now. You [Ripper points at Laslow} had better get your shit wired right now and start acting like a member of the Darkness. YOU! [Ripper points at Taranis] If you have a problem with another member of the Darkness bring it to all of us and WE WILL HANDLE IT!

[Something about the way Ripper looks when he says handle it alerts Laslow and he slowly starts to back up out of the ring. His way though is quickly blocked as Blackwell steps in behind him. Laslow stares coldly at Blackwell but the man from Plano just raises his hands and points back towards Ripper who by this time has reached ringside. A moment later Johnny Storm joins him]

[PAGE]:Something isn't right here.

[MCCOY]:If I were Laslow I would think about getting the hell out of Dodge.

[Without realizing it Laslow soon finds himself surrounded by Blackwell, Loki and Taranis. He goes into a defensive posture but the three men remain motionless. Ripper then slides into the ring and continues speaking.]

[RIPPER]:Laslow my friend you have some explaining to do. First you stand there and let Boudreaux take me out with a chair and then in this very ring you let the Fury walk away with another win. [Ripper grins] Are ya sick Jonathan. Is there something you are not telling us.

[Laslow remains silent deciding that silence would be better than any reason he could give for tonight's actions. Behind him Storm sneaks into the ring and stands behind Laslow. Storm grins wickedly and slowly raises the CSWA Heavyweight Belt over his head. Seeing what is going to happen, Taranis steps forward and blocks Storm from hitting Laslow from behind.]

[PAGE]:Looks like there is some breaking of ranks in the Darkness.

[MCCOY]:I would like to think not. I have a feeling something is up.

[Laslow turns around and sees his tag partner blocking Storm from waylaying him. Before Laslow can do anything though, Taranis rips the belt out of Storm's hand spins around and nails Laslow on the side of the head with it. Laslow staggers back into the arms of Loki who whispers something in Laslow's ear before pushing him back towards Laslow.]

THWAAAAAAAAACKKKKK!!

[PAGE]: OH MY GOD! THE DARKNESS ARE TURNING ON LASLOW!!

[MCCOY]: It's called culling the herd Eddie. Plain and simple. You may not like it but it keeps the group from becoming too weak.

[Blood immediately starts to pour down Laslow's face as drops to his knees. With a shocked look on his face, he stares back up at Taranis who is grinning evilly at him. A moment later the Darkness swarm over Laslow and he is soon lying on the mat being kicked and stomped on. ]

[PAGE]:God somebody stop this...

[MCCOY]: God doesn't exist in this arena right now Eddie.

[Blackwell hauls Laslow to his feet and sends him flying off the ropes where Loki drops him face first to the mat with a drop toe hold. A moment later Taranis comes off the turnbuckle where he drops a knee across the back of Laslow's head. Tarnanis and Loki then pick up Laslow and hold him high over their heads in what looks like a double powerbomb move. They continue to hold him there as Storm slowly climbs the top rope. Looking at the crowd Storm makes a motion reminiscent of the old Storm and leaps into the air.]

[PAGE]: DDT!! OH MY GOD!! DDT!!

[Laslow hits the mat hard his head driving into the CSWA Heavyweight belt that Ripper had convienately laid down. Laslow bounces once then a second time before going motionless. Ripper then crouches down beside Laslow, and grabs him by the hair. He looks into the former Darkness/Axis members face and softly speaks]

[RIPPER]:Well I guess we all know what's ailing you now Laslow. A bad case of Darkness.....................

[Camera fades away to a commercial for Ace Bandages with a shot of the Darkness surrounding a battered and beaten Laslow]
