** Your TV screen goes black. The ICW logo flies towards the screen and seemingly passes right overhead. We are shown highlights of last year’s KOTC final. **

** The screen flickers and we start the show. **

** Pyros shoot off the stage of the brand spanking new set as glitter falls from the roof like rain. "Numb" by Linkin Park plays in the background and a small "Drink Heineken" blimp hovers above the sold out London Arena. **

Matt Hayes: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to ICW KING OF THE CAGE 2!

Tim Malcom: That’s right and your hosts for this evening are Matt Hayes and Tim Malcom!

Matt: What an action packed show we have in store for you today. ICW Owner and Founder, James Clash teams with his partner in crime, Mr. Charisma to take on Hellhole and Scurge Runik for the United States Title…

Tim: And our second main event shall be the KING OF THE CAGE FINALS!

Matt: An Ultimate Death match. You’ve got to pin your opponent, you’ve got to make him submit, THEN you’ve got to get the hell out of that cage!

Tim: And starting things off tonight we shall see the four Quarter Finals in what has been a SPECTACULAR tournament!

***A quick scene change shows the garage of the arena as a motorcycle drives through the open door. He pulls up to the entry door and parks the cycle. The leather jacket clad figure pulls off his helmet and we are greeted with a some what familiar face.***

Hayes: No, it couldn't be.

Tim: It just might be. The last time we've seen that bandana and sunglasses was on . . .

Hayes: Yes, I know. The Great Wrassle-Man.

Tim: Who just turned out to be none other than Luscious Larry.

Hayes: But it can't be him. He retired to spend time with his wife and daughter.

Tim: Which is also why he couldn't partake in the King of the Cage tournament.

***The figure motions a "follow me" wave with his hand and begins to walk from the garage to the backstage area. He is met with similar looks as given form by Tim Malcolm and Matt Hayes' words. The man nods in greeting to several of those backstage and then reaches the entry way out to the ring.***

***Once there, the scene flips back to the ring area as Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" hits the loud speakers.***

Tim: Well, we'll soon find out who this is.

Hayes: That we will. All we know is that he's a former ICW Champion.

Tim: That could be any number of people.

***The curtain is thrown back and out steps the leather clad man from behind to a surprisingly huge pop. He walks to the ring and takes a microphone before climbing into the ring.***

***He test out the mic by tapping on it three quick times, he then waits a moment for the crowd to quiet down a bit. He raises the mic to speak, but then smiles as he whips off the bandana and sunglasses. Revealing the newly returned former ICW Champion.***

Hayes: All the mystery, all the intrigue, all the suspense has led up to this.

Tim: And ICW has one of its greatest back in action. Several months he's kept the entire roster guessing.

Hayes: But it's time to face facts Tim, Luscious Larry is back.

Tim: Listen to this crowd, they love it.

***With his disguise off, Larry paces the ring listening to the crowd's reaction to his return from retirement. Spotting something outside the ring in the crowd, Larry leaves the ring, and asks the fan for it. After receiving it Larry climbs back in the ring raising the microphone to speak.***

Larry: Damn! Listen to you guys. If I knew this was going to be the response I got, I would never have retired in the first place. But now on to business. I have used my retirement to my advantage, I've thought a lot about what made me go away in the first place, and what needed to be done about it. In many ways, I am the Great Wrassle-Man personified. But not only that, when I was ICW Champion, I had the time of my life. The stalwart of the ICW, the Franchise of ICW if you will. Things are about to change here, and I'm going to be the one to do it. From now on, the ICW's own Iron Man will be kicking ass and taking names with the best of them.

***Larry pauses to think about what to say next.***

Larry: I'm sure you're asking yourself, "Why all the subterfuge? Why all the secrecy? Huh, Larry? Why?" It's simple. I know you fans wanted to see me, but there's a lot of people in the back that would have been frightened off if they knew that I was about to make my return. I have one goal in mind here. And I'm sure you can guess what that is, the one thing that has eluded me since last year's King of the Cage tournament. The ICW Championship. I lost that title one year ago at this very same pay-per-view that I have just returned at, and I won't stop until the title is once again in my hand. Let's face it, the ICW is once again about to head on the long hard road to La-La Land, courtesy of the ICW's Iron Man.

***Larry is about to toss the microphone away, but then remembers what he grabbed from the crowd.***

Larry: And one more thing . . .

***Larry gives the microphone back to the ring announcer and then holds up the sign from the crowd. It says simply "Double L Is The REAL King Of The Cage."***

***Larry then leaves the ring and gives the sign back to the fan before heading in back himself.***

** "We Live no More" by Black Label Society hits the PA System, and Scurge walk out to a good applause. He walks down to the ring, and enters the cage. The cage is filled with weapons. Scurge leans on the turnbuckle, awaiting the entrance of Hektik. **

Matt: Scurge a former US champion here in ICW in the cage right now, seems to be waiting for Hektik.

Tim: Well, Scurge did win a major title early in his ICW career.

** "Rock The Dead" – TwiZTiD blasts over the PA system, and immediately the fans begin to cheer for Hektik. They respect him for what he is, an ICW legend. The number one contender for the World Championship walks down to the cage, and enters. The referee locks the door, and the bell rings. Hektik and Scurge locks up, they break up and begin to exchange punches. Hektik gets the upper hand, and beats Scurge into a corner. He begins to deliver some hard chops, and sets up Scurge onto the turnbuckle. Hektik with a superplex off the turnbuckle, and down to the mat. **

Matt: Hektik with the upper hand in the match so far.

Tim: You got to accept that from a veteran in ICW.

** Hektik comes across a stop sign with a dent in it. He waits for Scurge to get up. When Runik does do, Hektik runs, and drop kick the stop sign into the face of Scurge. Hektik drops the sign, and force Scurge up to his feet. He performs side suplex to Scurge. He then drags Scurge up, and begin to grind his forehead against the wall. **

Matt: Scurge in this match-up so far hasn’t got any real offense in.

** Hekitk goes with a Gorilla Press Slam, taking down Scurge once again. Hektik seems to be getting bored with this match-up, he leans on the wall while waiting for Scurge to get up. Moments pass as finally Scurge gets to his feet. Hektik kicks him up and hits the Breakdown on him. Scurge lands on top of a steel chair. **

Matt: THE BREAKDOWN ALREADY! Tim: One of the most painful finishers in this sport today.

** Hektik didn’t go for the pin, instead he goes to the nearest turnbuckle. He takes his time to climb up onto the top rope, and then he begins to taunt the crowd. He goes for the 420 Splash, but somehow Scurge manages to roll out of the way just in time. Hektik crashes down onto the steel chair. **

Tim: Did I just see that? Don’t tell me that I just saw that…

Matt: Somehow Scurge rolled out of the way in time, saving himself for more pain. Tim: How can Scurge still be moving, especially after the Breakdown?

** Seconds pass, Scurge is slowly climbing up using the ropes. Hektik in the meanwhile is back up on his feet. Hektik goes over to Scurge goes for a powerful suplex, but Scurge wrap his legs around the ropes. Hektik forces Scurge off of the ropes, but Scurge somehow tackles Hektik down to the mat. Scurge gets to his feet, so does Hektik. Scurge kicks Hektik in the gut, and scissors kick him. **

Matt: Scurge is fighting back… he may manage to win this match.

** Hektik keeps getting back on his feet, but Scurge serves a snap suplex to him. Next he hits a Neckbreaker. Hektik gets up once more, Scurge goes to kick him. Hektik catches it, but gets kick in the face by the other foot. Hektik stumbles back, and gets super kick by Runik. Scurge jump to the nearest turnbuckle, and performs Runik Tribute onto Hektik. He goes for the pin. 1… 2… 3… **

Matt: RUNI WINS! RUNIK WINS!

Tim: That makes him the first man in the KOTC 2 semi-finals!

** "Immortal" by Adema hits and the crowd is gets on their feet as the Immortal One comes down to the ring. **

Matt: Listen to these fans. Shawn Temp is the favortie for this tournament, according to a poll on ICW.com.

Tim: But Temp seems a bit undecisive right now as to how he is going to treat this tournament.

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!

** The Mortal Kombat theme song hits and Mortal Kombat Man walks solemnly towards the cage. **

Matt: This is a man who has made so many promises about tonight, yet no one knows if he can actually make them come true.

Tim: If somehow he manages to pull off a win against Temp, then maybe he could actually win this thing.

** The referee locks the cage door, and the bell rings. **

DING! DING! DING!

** Temp and MK Man get straight into it, going toe to toe with punches. Temp manages to get the upper-hand however and backs Mortal Kombat Man into the corner. **

Matt: Look at Temp unload onto Mortal Kombat Man, he really is a different man tonight.

** Temp continues to beat on MK Man, before backing up to the other side of the ring, and charging at him. He goes for a turnbuckle splash, but Mortal Kombat Man gets out of the way and Shawn goes face first into the turnbuckle. MK Man then kicks Temp in the guts, and hits a drop toe hold. **

Matt: This is REAL wrestling. No weapons needed here.

Tim: You spoke too soon Matt, Mortal Kombat Man is heading towards a trash can!

** MK Man picks the trashcan up and waits for Temp to get up. When he does, MK Man swings at Temp with the trashcan, and catches him square in the face. Shawn staggers back, and Mortal Kombat Man swings again. Another perfect hit. **

Tim: Temp is looking dazed, he’s got his back turned towards Mortal Kombat Man as he rests in the corner. But MK Man still has the trashcan!

** MK Man slowly creeps towards Temp, but Shawn comes out of nowhere with a huge clothesline. Mortal Kombat Man goes down hard. Shawn Temp then picks up the trash can, and smashes it onto MK Man’s back. He then locks on a chinlock. **

Matt: Mortal Kombat Man is in a bit of trouble now.

** MK Man struggle’s to break the hold, but he can’t do it. Temp eventually releases it, and heads for a chair. He picks it up, as MKM raises to his feet. Mortal Kombat Man ducks a swing, but Temp kicks him, and smashes the chair across his head. Temp then throws the chair down, and sets MK Man into DDT position. **

Matt: He’s going to DDT him onto the chair!

** Mortal Kombat Man pushes Shawn away from him, and hits a superkick on the surprised opponent. Temp falls into the ropes, and bounces back to MK Man. Temp gets DDT’d into the chair. **

Tim: It backfired on him.

** Temp lies on the ground, and Mortal Kombat Man climbs the turnbuckle. He crouches on the top, as he looks at Temp. He then looks out to the crowd and stands up straight on the turnbuckle. He leaps off with a huge frogsplash, but Temp brings up his knees. **

Matt: He waited too long that time.

Tim: This match is backfired move after backfired move.

** Mortal Kombat Man and Temp both roll around on the ground for a while as they both try to catch tehir breath. The first man to his feet is Shawn Temp. MKM is on his knees and Temp kicks him to put him back down. Temp grabs two trashcan lids, and when MK Man gets to his knees again, Shawn smashes the lids onto his head. **

Matt: A Mortal Kombat Man sandwich.

** Temp casts the lids a side, and picks Mortal Kombat Man’s hurt body up. He hits the Shockwave on Mortal Kombat Man. He then places the chair that was used before onto MKM and climbs the turnbuckle and signals to the crowd. **

Tim: It’s time for the Temperature Rising, Matt!

** Temp leaps off, but MK Man manages to thrust the chair upwards towards Temp’s face. Shawn loses control of his flip, and Mortal Kombat Man rolls to safety. MKM sets up a table leaning on one of the corners, and attempts to place Temp on it. However Temp fights back and whips Mortal Kombat Man over to the corner where the slightly dented trashcan is. Temp runs forward but gets met with a boot to the face from MK Man. **

Matt: Those corner moves haven’t been doing a lot of good for Shawn Temp today.

** MKM picks up the trashcan and beats Temp over the head with it a few times making Shawn go closer to the table. He then shoves the trashcan onto Temp’s head, trapping him inside. He goes backwards a couple of steps and leaps forward with a spinning back kick. He hits smack in the middle of the can, causing it to crush against Temp’s face and Temp falls back onto the table. The trashcan falls off his head, and he sees Mortal Kombat Man running towards him. He notices this too late though, and MK Man tackles Shawn through the table. He is a little dazed himself, but he manages to drag Temp away from the ropes and covers him. **

1… 2… 3!!!

Matt: HOLY SHIT! SHAWN TEMP JUST GOT PINNED BY MORTAL KOMBAT MAN!

Tim: What an upset!

***AD BREAK***

Primetime will be on the 9^th of June and every Monday after. Look for the debut of ICW Intensity in the near future.

***END AD BREAK***

** "Calm Like a Bomb" by Rage against The Machine hits the PA system, and X-treme comes down to the cage. The former extreme champion stops before entering the cage, and begins to throw numerous weapons into the cage, such as a stop sign, a trashcan, a steel chair, Singapore Cane, and other objects that can be use to infect bodily harm. He stands there waiting for Mr. James Clash to show up. **

Matt: This is the first of what can be more than two matches tonight.

Tim: Later tonight, X-treme and his partner will face the tag team champions for the gold.

Matt: But for the moment, the quarterfinals of the King of the Cage Tournament.

** "Radio Clash" hits the masses, and Clash comes walking out onto the stage. Following him is his niece, Kaydence and Charisma. They all walk down to the cage together. Clash gets into the cage, as Charisma and Kaydence waits outside. The referee rings the bell, and X-treme rushes in towards Clash. The ICW Owner hits him with a low blow, knocking X-treme down to his knees. **

Tim: Typical of Clash to use such a low blow against his opponents.

** Clash grabs a trashcan lid, and smashes it on X-treme’s head. However, the former extreme champion refuses to go down. Clash with another, but X-treme still kneeling. Clash with another hit, this time knocking down X-treme. Clash begins to taunt the crowd, but soon focus his attention on X-treme. Clash drops the trashcan lid, and picks up X-treme. He irish whips him into the ropes, and hits a neckbreaker drop on X-treme. **

Matt: Mr. Clash is actually doing good in this match-up so far.

Tim: And outside the ring, look at Kaydence cheering her uncle on.

** Clash walks to the other side of the cage, and taunts again. Meanwhile, X-treme jumps to his feet. He takes the stop sign, and tries his best to hide it behind his back. Charisma, and Kaydence notices the gambit, and tries to tell Clash. Clash waves at them, and charges at X-treme without seeing a red stop sign behind X-treme’s back. Just moments before Clash is going to impact X-treme, the former extreme champion quickly hits Clash over the head with the stop sign, sending Clash down to the ground. X-treme picks him up, and powerbombs him twice. The fans begin to cheer for X-treme, as the man drag Clash back to his feet. **

Matt: Now X-treme is in the driver seat of this match.

Tim: I guess he should have paid more close attention to Charisma, and Kaydence.

** Clash tries to fight back, and succeeds. He once again kicks X-treme in the balls. He then locks in the Sting. X-treme begins to yell in pain, but manages to get out of it. He manages to get behind Clash, and hits a German suplex. By chance Clash lands on the steel chair, Clash is holding his back on the matt while X-treme jumps to the nearest turnbuckle. **

Matt: He gunning for the…

Tim: Twisted Shot!!!

** X-treme hits his finisher almost perfectly, and goes for the pin. 1… 2… 3… and X-treme advances to the semi-finals. **

Matt: I guess X-treme did very well in this kind of environment.

Tim: After all… He is X-treme…

** Clash gets up, while X-treme is celebrating. He takes his railroad spike out, and hits X-treme over the head with it. Clash’s music hits, and James goes backstage with Charisma, and Kaydence Clash at his side. X-treme is almost lifeless inside the cage. **

Matt: X-treme is out cold in the cage.

Tim: What about his other matches!?

Spike West is in the ring awaiting Charisma.He begins to talk on the mic.

Spike: Charisma! Get your punk ass out here! You talk a good bit of shit as do a good bit of people in this fed, but now it's time for the talks to end. Come out to the cage and face your end. You said you were going to punch me in the eye? Well you can't do it cowering behind a little whore and the owner you chickenshit bastard!

"Run Away" by Real McCoy plays over the loudspeakers as Charisma makes his entrance to the arena. He walks out and strait down to the ring concentrating on Spike's words. His eyes are leveled with Spike's as he runs and slides in. Weapons are scattered within the cage walls as the ref closes and locks the cage.

Charisma grabs his own mic.

Charisma: As you can see I'm here so you can stop running your fucking mouth and yes I am going to punch you in the eye! If I wanted to hear someone talking out of their ass I would've taken a big shit. Drop that mic and it's on. Or do you wanna run your mouth some more?

Spike goes to say something and Charisma runs and tackles Spike with force and true to his word begins to punch Spike in the eye repeatedly. Spike tosses Charisma off and gets up. Charisma goes for the same thing again and Spike boots him in the face.

***DING! DING! DING!***

Matt: Charisma starting this match with a bang, but Spike is trying now to get control of this match.

Tim: The real question is does Charisma want to win the match or just hurt Spike West?

Spike picks Charisma up for a tombstone piledriver and Charisma slides off his shoulders and shoves Spike into the cage face first. Charisma then grabs Spike's head and begins to scrape it along the cage, shredding the flesh on his head. Blood begins to pour as the jagged metal rips at Spike's skin.

Matt: And Charisma is just GRINDING Spike's face against the cage!

Tim: He hasn't even reached for the various weapons of mass destruction hanging from the top of the cage.

Like magic, Charisma lets Spike slump into a bloody heap as he begins to climb the cage to the top to reach for a chair. He gets up high enough to untie it and lets it drop. Spike staggers to his feet with blood gushing from his head.He grabs hold of Charisma's leg and pulls. Charisma drops the chair to use both hands to keep from falling. Spike yanks harder and Charisma is pulled from the cage right onto the chair he dropped.

Matt: Charisma might be regretting that decision to grab that chair.Spike picks Charisma up by the hair. He picks him up for a backbreaker and drops him onto the chair instead of across his knee.

Matt: These two will kill each other before this match is over.

Spike climbs up to grab another chair and drops to the mat with it. He slams it across Charisma's back several times. He then sets a chair under Charisma's head and grabs the other one. He raises it into the air and brings it crashing down. Fortuantely for one former Heavyweight champion he manages to move his head out of the way of the crushing blow. Charisma punches Spike in the face through the chair.

Matt: Charisma could have broken his hand with that move!

Tim: He put a dent in the chair and if that doesn't give Spike a black eye I don't know what will.

Spike is holding his eye and Charisma takes the opprotunity to bulldog him onto the other chair. Charisma sets up that chair in the middle and then grabs Spike and whips him off into the ropes. He drop toe holds him onto the chair. Spike grabs his eye as it just might have slammed into the corner of the chair (Holy Scotty Riggs and Raven Batman!).

Tim: Charisma is going to try to put Spike's eye out in this match!

Charisma applies a rear chinlock and holds Spike down onto the mat. Blood pours from around Spike's left eye dribbling down his face. He's also bleeding from the forehead and the mouth.

Matt: Clash and Charisma are trying to take complete control and one roadblock in their way appears to be Spike West.

Tim: And another is Scurge Runik.

Matt: Right now that roadblock is laying on the mat in the lock of Charisma bleeding all over the place.

Spike begins to rise from the mat as the crowd begins getting into this match. He elbows Charisma in the gut several times and whips Charisma into the ropes. He then forearms Charisma so hard Charisma flips. Spike sets Charima up for a German suplex and Charisma mule kicks him in the nuts. He then turns and...

Matt: HUGE BRAINBUSTER!

Charisma goes for the cover.

ONE! TWO! THREE! NO! KICKOUT!

Charisma looks at the ref in disbelief. He then climbs the cage for a weapon to beat Spike to death with. Charisma's hands find themselves a hammer.

Matt: Who...in the hell...left a HAMMER near two men who want to kill each other!?

Tim: I believe that would be El Clasho.

Matt: And the referees are replacing weapons as they get used...WHAT IN THE HELL!!!??? That's a..a...a...A WEED WHACKER?!!!?

Tim: Oh, boy wait till one of them catches a glimpse of THAT!

Charisma has the hammer and uses the part that pulls nails out to dig into that little bone right above the eye.

Matt: I can't watch this. Charisma is literally trying to tear Spike's head off with that hammer!

Charisma gets Spike up and spins him around. He smashes him in the mouth with the hammer.

TIM: HOLY SHIT!!!!

Matt: Charisma may have just knocked some of Spike's teeth down his throat! These two are going ballistic!

Charisma whips Spike into the corner and rushes him hammer raised to bash his skull open. Spike ducks and Charisma smashes the post and the hammer head breaks off the hammer.Spike kicks him in the gut and sets him up top for a superplex. He superplexes Charisma and floats over into a pin.

Matt: Spike might have it!

ONE! TWO! THRE...KICKOUT!!!

Tim: So close!

Spike picks Charisma up and whips him off into the ropes and goes for a power clothesline, but Charisma ducks and rebounds with his trademark flying forearm smash. Charisma spots the weed whacker and instantly heads for it.

Matt: You're kidding me.

Charisma climbs and grabs the dastardly weapon and tries to start it up. It starts with a whirring sound and Charisma smiles evilly. He walks over to Spike who is on his hands and knees and puts the spining aparatus to his back. The reaction is instant.

Matt: OH MY GOD! That sadistic bastard! Someone stop this now!

Tim: It's only a flesh wound.

Matt: Are you as retarded as Mr. Baggs? Spike West's back has been destroyed!

Tim: It looks a lot worse than it sounds people.

Spike's back is all bloody now, but fortunately the weed whacker cuts off and despite Charisma's attempts to restart it...nothing. So he does the one logical thing, beat Spike West in the head with it. Charisma tosses the useless tool to a corner and ties Spike up in the ropes. Charisma goes for a spear and Spike gets free and moves. Charisma spears the cage and goes through it. Spike rolls out and crawls out after him.

Tim: Charisma is now bleeding as well. These two men have beaten the hell out of each other and now they've been freed from the cage. Where in the hell is Charisma going?

Charisma begins to climb the cage. He stops halfway up and drops off the cage catching a rising Spike with a ddt to the floor.The crowd begisn their 'Holy Shit!' chant.

Matt: If this was in the cage it would be over. Charisma's arm is draped across Spike West and both men just might be out.

Charisma begins to move first slowly. He climbs to his feet using the cage for support. He picks Spike up and rolls him back in the ring and crawls over to go for a cover. Spike West is motionless.

ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! NO!

Matt: Spike kicked out once more! He had to reach down deep for that one!

Tim: Both men's gauges are running on E. All it takes is one move, one mistake, and three seconds...

Charisma gets Spike up and sets him up for an Ovation ddt. He raies his arms in the air and Spike gives Charisma a northern lights suplex.

ONE! TWO! THR...NO!

Tim: Spike almost stole this one!

Matt: Both men are down and out. Which one will make it to their feet first?

Charisma and Spike begin to crawl to corners to use the ropes to pull themsleves to their feet.They make it to their feet in opposite corners. Spike charges Charisma for a big spear and Charisma jumps over and twists himself into a pinning position.

ONE! TWO! THRE...NO! Kickout!

Spike gets up and boots Charisma in the gut and then grabs Charisma in a chokeslam. He drags Charisma over to the cage and begins to scrape his face along the cage.

Tim: Spike is now returning the favor to Charisma and is using that cage like a cheese grater.

There's that huge commotion and everyone's attention is on the rampway for good reason. In the ring there's a rope on the cage now as a weapon. There's a noose on it. Spike uses this to tie Charisma to the cage as he checks to see what's going on.

Matt: That's James Clash! Why in the hell is he out here? I smell a screwjob coming...especially because he has 'Stevie' in his hands...

Tim: You bet your sweet ass and it's going to rock! Spike deserves everything he gets for what he did to that poor innocent girl.

Matt: (snorts) Innocent! (laughs)

Clash: Spikey! Over here in this aisle way! You think you're SOOOO smart don't you? Well, I'll bet you never saw it coming did you? He didn't see it did he Stevie-o?

Matt: Our owner is talking to a railroad spike... I feel SO proud...

Spike doesn't see a certain young girl hop the guardrail and cut Charisma's bonds. He doesn't see her hand a railroad spike to Charisma. He never sees her leap the railing and dissapear into the crowd. He doesn't see, but he FEELS the impact Charisma makes on the back of his head with the metal spike.

Clash laughs and then flips Stevie in the air and catches it. He begins to whistle the ICW theme song as he watches Charisma cover Spike.

Matt: No dammit! Not like this!

ONE! TWO! THREE!

***DING! DING! DING!***

Six policemen enter from the back with batons drawn and handcuffs in hand. They head up and circle Clash. Some words are exchanged.

Clash: What do you mean drop the weapon and get on the ground?! I haven't done a damn thing wrong! No, I'm not dropping Stevie!

The policemen go to grab Clash and he nails one of them with Stevie. They immediatly assault with their batons! Clash curls into a ball and tries to cover himself as the metal batons strike him. Charisma sees this and frantically tries to get out but the hole made earlier was fixed mid match and he's waiting for the ref to unlock the cage.

Clash: RODNEY KING! RODNEY KING! RODNEY KING! RODNEY KING! RODNEY KING! RODNEY KING! RODNEY KING!

Matt: Clash isn't even black... We aren't even in LA...

The police stop beating Clash and handcuff him. They take him to the back and Charisma finally was released from the cage. He runs full speed to the back as medics come to check on Spike.

***AD BREAK***

The GREATEST match in ICW history is coming up soon… Who will win the title of King of the Cage 2003?

***END AD BREAK***

Matt: I wonder what happened to Clash.

Tim: Charisma will get him back. They’ve still got a US title match remember?

** "Immortal" by Adema hits the PA speakers, and Shawn Temp walks out from backstage. Hung around his neck is the extreme championship. He walks down the ramp, and pyros explode behind him. Shawn Temp jumps into the ring, and waits from his tag team partner. "Calm Like a Bomb" by Rage against The Machine blasts over the speakers, and X-treme walk down to the ring. He slides underneath the bottom rope, and gets in the same corner as Shawn Temp. **

Matt: What an unlikely duo in the ring…

Tim: After all, Shawn Temp not too long ago took the belt from X-treme…

Matt: Will they be able to contain their egos, and win the tagteam titles.

** Mudvayne's "Death Blooms" blasts over the loudspeakers and out walks the former Jr. Heavyweight champion to a chorus of cheers. Following him is The Ghost, they both has the tag team gold around their waists. Aerial Prodigy begins his slow walk down the aisle while giving high fives to the fans on the way. The Ghost charges right down to the ring, and slides underneath the bottom rope. Aerial Prodigy leaps up to the ring apron and drops to one knee as he hangs onto the ropes. He stands and leaps over the ropes into a roll. He comes up from the roll and jumps onto the second rope on the opposite side of the ring. Fireworks go off behind him as he poses for the fans. **

Tim: Both of the tag team champions are very light highflying wrestlers, let see how well they will put against The Immortal One, and X-treme.

Matt: This is the second match for Aerial Prodigy, X-treme, and Temp. All of them wrestled in the King of the Cage tournament.

Tim: So I wonder what shape they will be at the end of this match since some of them have to wrestle another match tonight.

** The bell rings, and Shawn Temp pushes X-treme out of the way and attack The Ghost. The two competitors lock up, Shawn kicks The Ghost in the gut and Piledriver him. The Ghost quickly gets up and clotheslines Temp. Temp gets up, and starts delivering blows. The Ghost fights back. The Ghost seems to get the upper hand, but now Temp seems in control. Shawn sets up for the DDT, but the Ghost reverses it into a spine buster. **

Matt: Someone finally seems to be in control over this match.

Tim: You can notice that Shawn is still tried from his last match, but he’s still got a lot of juice in him.

** The Ghost runs to the opposite ropes… while Shawn slowly gets to his feet. The Ghost hits the cross body splash on Temp. The Ghost goes the pin, but Shawn Temp gets out of it even before the one count. The Ghost jumps to the nearest turnbuckle, and waits for Temp to get up on his feet. Shawn gets to his feet quickly, and pushes himself into the ropes. That causes the Ghost to lose balance and his balls gets introduce with the pole. Shawn Temp runs over to The Ghost, still hung up on the turnbuckle. He performs the Hurancanrana on The Ghost. Temp then makes the tag with X-treme. **

Matt: Ghost is rolling on the ground in pain as X-treme steps in. Tim: I think he feels more pain form the pole then from the Hurancanrana.

** X-treme rubs his head from where Clash hit him with the railroad spike earlier in the evening. He walks over to the Ghost and start stomping on The Ghost. X-treme drags Ghost to his feet, and powerbombs him. The Ghost begins to crawl towards Aerial Prodigy, but X-treme grabs his leg. The Ghost fights back with a mule kick, and just barely makes the tag. Prodigy jumps onto of the top rope, and dropkicks X-treme. X-treme gets back, but Aerial is behind him. The former Junior Heavyweight champion hits the Reverse DDT on X-treme. **

Tim: This match reminds me of a seesaw… the momentum of this match keep on switching between the two teams.

Matt: I must agree with you on that one.

** X-treme manages to get on his feet, Aerial comes over to him. X-treme starts to punch Aerial in the gut, and then throws one half of the tag team champions over the top rope. The Ghost rushes into the ring to attack but is stopped by Shawn Temp and his punches. Shawn Temp knocks the other half of the tag team champions out of the ring. Shawn Temp begins to taunt the crowd, and the fans cheer him. X-treme sees it, and jumps in front of Shawn and starts wooing the crowd. Shawn pushes X-treme out of the way, but X-treme shoves back. They are pushing each other. **

Matt: The two egos of these men have just collided.

Tim: It seems like the crowd is just eating it up.

Matt: Those two better cut it out before The Ghost, and Aerial Prodigy regroup.

Tim: I think it’s too late.

** The Ghost, and Aerial Prodigy charge into the ring, and both clothesline their opponents. The pick up Shawn and X-treme, and throw them outside the ring. Aerial climbs up on the top rope, and hits the Fall From Grace on to X-treme as The Ghost performs a picture perfect frog splash on Shawn Temp. The crowd roars in an excitement. Aerial Prodigy roll X-treme back into the ring. He goes for the pin, 1… 2… The referee notice X-treme’s leg on the rope. Aerial Prodigy picks him up and goes for the "Final Flash" but X-treme catches Aerial’s high and reverses it with all of his strength into the Apocalyptic Demise. Now both men are down in the ring. Shawn, and The Ghost are back in their separate corners. **

Matt: Oh my god! The Apocalyptic Demise! Both men are down for the count.

Tim: Not really, they both are slowly crawling to each one’s corner.

Matt: X-treme gets their first, and Shawn comes jumping in.

** Shawn stops Aerial just before he could make the tag. Shawn Temp picks him up, and Powerslams his opponent. He runs into the opposite rope. Aerial gets up, but Shawn is flying at him with a super kick. Shawn Temp jumps to the nearest turnbuckle (Which the Ghost is hanging out at) and goes for the Temperature Rising. The Ghost grabs his leg, but Shawn kicks him in the face knocking him down outside the ring. He finally hits his finisher, and goes for the pin. The Ghost makes do of being outside the ring, by pulling Aerial Prodigy outside the ring. X-treme is outside the ring, with a evil smirk on his face. He grabs a chair and climbs the top rope. Meanwhile Aerial Prodigy is lying flat down on the mat, trying to catch his breath. A X-treme chant begins to fill the arena. The Ghost comes into the ring, and performs tornado ddt on Temp. He then proceeds by stomping on Shawn. The ref attention is on Temp, as X-treme performs the ARABIAN FACEBUSTER onto Aerial Prodigy. The fans begin to cheer so loud. X-treme goes hide the chair out of sight, and rolls Aerial back into the ring. **

Matt: God Damn…

Tim: I can’t believe the Ref didn’t see that Matt: The same move that secure X-treme a victory in the second round of the KOTC tournament

** The referee tells The Ghost to go back into his corner. Shawn gets up, and lays in the turnbuckle for a few moments. He tags X-treme in, and they both climb opposite corners and hit the Twisted Rising. Temp runs over to The Ghost, and knocks him off the apron as X-treme goes for the pin. The fan begins to count… 1! 2! 3! The bell rings, and the belts are given to The Icons. **

Matt: Ladies and Gentlemen, WHAT A MATCH!

Tim: The Icons should be very pleased with themselves after that.

Matt: And so should AP and Ghost! Both teams worked very hard for that and frankly, I think the best team came out on top.

"Calm Like A Bomb" by Rage Against The Machine plays and out walks X-treme to a huge ovation. He had already competed tonight and him and Shawn Temp put on an amazing show in the tag match. He gives some fans high fives on the way down and signs some autographs. He begins to climb the cage and once on top he poses for the packed arena crowd.

"We Live No More" by Black Label Society plays on the PA and Scurge Runik comes out to an equally large ovation. He does the same as X-treme and gives the fans a little more than they paid for and memories that would last a lifetime. He climbs the cage.

Matt: Now X-treme could start this match the second Runik's hand touches the top of the cage, but I think he's going to wait till Runik gets all the way up..

Tim: Probably. Now should be the time to mention tha the top of the cage has been reinforced so that these men can actually fight for a good while on this cage. How long that will last is beyond me.

X-Treme and Runik are now standing face to face. Runik sticks his hand out for a shake. Xtreme looks around at the audience and grasps his hand and shkes it. Not letting go both men punch each other in the face.

***DING! DING! DING!***

They begin slugging it out. X-treme gets the upper hand and sets Runik up for a suplex. X-treme gets Runik up and drops him back down once more with a reverse ddt.

Matt: OUCH! That was onto a metal support! Two moves onto hard steel...not the chain link, but the supports of the cage!

X-Treme begins to kick Runik over to the edge and kicks him, rolling him over. Runik hangs on by his fingers dangling from the cage. Xtreme begins to stomp on Runik's fingers. Runik drops from the top of the cage through the Spanish announce table.

Matt: There goes the Spanish announce table!

Tim: You know knowing waht I do now. I would have been the one who made the Spanish announcers tables. That guy has to be ROLLING in the $$$$!

Matt: True my journalistic partner.

Tim: Are you insinuating something there?

Matt: No, what in the hell are you...nevermind, X-Treme is climbing down now.

X-treme is down the cage and goes over to Runik and picks him up. He puts the man on his shoulders and runs at the cage using Runik's head for a battering ram. X-treme puts Runik's face against the cage and grabs hold of the chainlink with his hands, putting his boot on the back of Runik's head and tries to shred Runik's face.

Matt: An interesting submission hold. Runik can lose here if he taps out.

X-treme lets go and runs Runik's head back and forth across the cage.

Tim: A popular move tonight, well really for any cage match. Effective and Runik's bleeding now.

X-Treme grabs Runik's legs and slingshots him into the cage's corner. Runik stumbles around and then tries to climb the cage. X-Treme grabs Runik and pulls him off in the powerbomb postition.He holds Runik up for a good while walking a bit with him to find a good spot to throw Runik down at. He drops him on the tinly matted floor. He then drops against the cage breathing hard

Matt: X-Treme feeling the effects from the previous matches.

Tim: That powerbomb took a good bit out of X-Treme. Runik is quite a large guy.

X-Treme gets Runik up and whips him off into the rail, but Runik reverses it and sends X-Treme into the guard rail. He runs and clotheslines him over the rail, tumbling into the crowd as well after him. He grabs a chair and remembering what X-Treme did a few weeks ago gets up to the guard rail and leaps off with an Arabian facebuster.

Matt: Shades of the legendary Sabu and now X-Treme feels the same move he did albeit not from as high as he was.

Runik tosses X-Treme back over the guardrail. He then goes for a running springboard off the rail into a body block. Xtreme catches him midair and without setting him down belly to belly suplexes him. Xtreme looks like he's running on fumes as he climbs the cage. He gets to the top and rolls over and rests. His face is white, he's breathing hard, and his hands are bleeding from gripping the chain link so hard. Runik slowly begins to climb the cage as well. Xtreme forces himself to his feet. He knew going into this ppv that this night would tax his limits and he would hve to reach down deep to places never before to find the energy to get through this. Even as he forces his exhausted body to his feet he knows that there's two ways out of this match. As a winner...or a loser. Runik makes it to the top of the cage as well and they begin to slug it out once more. Runik kicks Xtreme a bit south of the border and ddt's him onto the chain link. He begins to scrape the flesh of Xtreme's head onto the chain link. Blood drips down onto the mat and even onto the cameraman's camera that's in the ring for a shot under the two. Runik pulls Xtreme to his knees and shouts out to the crowd. Xtreme punches Runik right in the crotch.

Tim: Paybacks for the earlier shot to the lower region. These two are putting it ALL on the line!

Xtreme suplexes Runik. He keeps his grip and goes for a second. Keeping his grip he goes for the third and gets Runik up halfway. He tries again and Runik blocks it. He then snap suplexes Xtreme and keeps HIS grip. Another snap suplex.

Matt: What a counter!

Runik picks Xtreme up once more and drops him down with a falcon arrow. A section of the cage gives way and both men almost go tumbling. Runik sets Xtreme up for a powerbomb onto the damaged part.

Matt: Runik has intentions of putting Xtreme through the cage! He knows that damaged part WIL NOT hold Xtreme's weight with the force of the fall!!!

Tim: Well, duh. He wants to end this match. The sooner he gets it over, the sooner he gets to rest for the next round nad thus less energy expended.

Matt: The question is will this do it? Yes, it's...OH MY GOD!!! X-TREME ALMOST LANDED ON HIS HEAD!!!

Runik had powerbombed X-Treme through the cage top and Xtreme landed a bit awkwardly, almost on his head.

Matt: What in the hell is Runik calling for?! Don't do it! Just climb down and pin him!

Tim: Runik obviously feels that the powerbomb wasn't enough to put X-Treme away.

Runik leaps off the cage and into the ring with a Runik Tribute!!!

Matt: Runik going for the cover!

ONE! TWO! THREE!

***DING! DING! DING!***

Matt: It was just too much for the man known as Xtreme. A classic battle though and a spectacular end. Runik is now checking on Xtreme.

Scurge helps Xtreme to his feet and raises Xtreme's hand.

Matt: And a good show of sportsmanship from Runik. Runik exits the cage with X-treme laging behind a bit, obviously dissapointed with himself. From under the ring comes someone running for Runik.

Tim: IT'S CLASH!!!! AND STEVIE!!!!

Clash pegs Runik in the back of the head by throwing Stevie and catching it on the rebound. He runs past Runik as Runik slumps to the ground bleeding from the back of his head. X-treme chases Clash to the back.

Matt: Clash was under the ring the ENTIRE time! He'd better hope X-treme doesn't catch him!

Tim: X-treme had better hope he doesn't get caught...

The camera cuts to the back as Clash rapidly turns a corner. X-treme follows and as he turns the corner, a black gloved hand slams him in the face with a pipe.

Matt: Who in the hell? That could have been anyone from Charisma, to Clash, to Kaydence, to...

Tim: Yeah, a little girl is going to knock X-treme out.

Matt: With a metal pipe, it doesn't take much.

Tim: You never even mentioned the most obvious culprit.

Matt: Who?

Tim:....Shawn...Temp...

Winner: Mortal Kombat Man

** The I-Tron shows a van driving down a road next to a forest. The van is much like those used to transport prisoners. The van takes a left into a clearing, and stops. Out of the drivers door, steps Texas Crazy Horse. His face si dark and evil, and he walks to the back of the van. He knocks on the doors. **

TCH: We’re here Hash.

** He opens the doors and we see Phil Hash in the back, wearing a straightjacket. TCH grabs Hash by his hair and pulls him out of the van. **

TCH: Phil… it’s time for the game to start. Run! Once I’m ready, I will find you.

** Phil runs off into the woods with his straightjacket still on as TCH pulls out a bad from the back of the van. He opens it, and checks that everything he ordered was in there. There are a couple of small throwing axes, a tranquilizar gun, with a few darts, a wooden club, an iron pipe, and a small hunting knife. He looks satisfied and he pulls out one of the axes and zips the rest of the bag up, before putting it on his back. **

TCH: Ready or not, here I come!

** TCH runs full speed into the woods where Hash went in, and follows the footprints made by Hash’s large body. He follows them into a large thicket of bush. At the edge of the bush are Hash’s shoes making Hs be able to run more lightly now. But that did not help him through this part, as Keith can easily follow the path that Hash drove through the bush with. **

TCH: This isn’t working for you Phil! I’m coming.

** The I-Tron then splits into two screens, one following Phil and one following Keith. Phil is running with no shoes on, and trying as best he can to not make any footprints. Keith however has just emerged from the bush, and is searching for a sign of where Phil Hash has been. He finally finds one. **

TCH: I’m on to you Phillip. I’ll be with you soon enough.

** Hash finds a well-hidden spot near a small stream, and sits down behind a tree. He rubs the straps against a sharp piece of bark. TCH has now arrived in the area where Hash is, and he can hear the sound of the rubbing on bark. **

TCH: What are you doing? I hope you don’t think you can cut those straps with bark? You’ll need something sharper than that.

** TCH slowly scouts the area, and eventually spots one of Hash’s bare feet. He creeps around, making sure Phil doesn’t see him, and now Keith can see Hash’s head. **

TCH: Maybe this will help!

** TCH throws the axe he has been carrying at Hash’s head. Although luckily for Phil, the exclamation made him move and so the axe goes flying into the tree. Hash looks at it wide-eyed, and rips it out of the bark with his mouth. He then runs off in a new direction. **

TCH: FUCK!

** TCH runs after Hash, and pulls out the tranquilizer gun as he goes along. Hash dodges past many trees and crosses over his own tracks a few times hoping that he might confuse Texas Crazy Horse. TCH gets a bit confused, but manages to keep following. Soon enough though, Hash stops again, but this time only quickly. He drops the axe to the ground and positions himself to where the blade cuts the straps. It does and he takes off the jacket before running again. Keith soon finds the jacket and the axe. **

TCH: FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

** He puts the axe into the bag, and sees a flash of skin through some bush. He fires the tranquilizer gun, and reloads as he goes, hoping he hit Hash. He heads to where he fired the darts, but none of them hit Hash. He then realizes he made a mistake, he left the bag back where he found the jacket. He returns to find Hash rummaging through it. TCH tries to shoot him, but in his haste he forgot to pickup the darts. Another mistake. He charges at Phil, but Phil pulls out the wooden club and bets Keith down. He leaves Keith bloody and bruised as he makes his way back to the van. **

***AD BREAK***

If I was Jesus I’d have been like "Hey, You just wait till I get off this cross, then I’m gonna fuck somebody up!"

Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!!

Matt: Listen to this crowd Tim, they HATE the C & C Wrestling Factory.

Tim: That doesn’t surprise me one bit.

** "Kick Some Ass" by Stroke 9 plays throughout the arena before Clash and Charisma have even gotten to the ring. Pyros go off on the side of the stage and Hellhole and Scurge come running down the isle and blindside C & C. **

Matt: Both Hellhole and Scurge are really eager to get this done…

Tim: Remember, He who makes the pinfall… Wins the title…

Matt: Do you think that will cause any tension between the two?

Tim: Probably.

** Hellhole rolls Clash into the ring. Kaydence goes to hit Runik with Stevie but Runik grabs it out her hand and nails Charisma with it. **

Tim: Well it appears that there is no DQ in this bout.

Matt: It seems Runik and Hellhole have got their shit together.

** Runik dropkicks Charisma as Hellhole holds Clash high above his head. Runik drops to one knee and Hellhole releases Clash. Clash’s body bends over Runik’s knee. **

Tim: Well I’ll bet that hurt.

** Hellhole pushes Mr. Charisma up against the turnbuckle. **

Matt: So far, Clash and Charisma haven’t got any offense in. If this keeps up, we could be looking at a new US champ.

** Hellhole takes a few steps back then runs up for a corner splash but Charisma rolls out of the way. Charisma hits a tornado DDT on Hellhole. He goes for the pin. **

** Hellhole pushes Charisma out of the way and then puts the boot to Clash’s head, stopping the pinfall attempt. He grabs Clash’s legs and performs a big swing, sending Clash flying into a dazed Charisma. **

Matt: What a throw!

Tim: Hellhole is using every bit of his strength in this bout Matt.

** Runik leaps to his feet and tells Hellhole something. **

Matt: What are they gonna do Tim?

** Hellhole moves over and positions Charisma so he is lying back against the bottom rope in the corner. He slaps Clash upside the head before putting Clash on Charisma. Runik runs up and goes for a bronco buster but Clash lifts his foot and it colides into Runik’s groin. **

Tim: I’ll bet the kind folks in Germany heard that thing crack.

Matt: Oooh! That must’ve severly damaged Runiks… ego…

** Hellhole goes to grab Clash but Clash kicks him away. Clash springboards off of the ropes and nails a cross body onto Hellhole. **

1…

2…

Kick Out!

Matt: He’ll be on his own for a while. Runik’s not going anywhere soon.

** Clash slaps Hellhole in the face as payback for seconds ago. Charisma picks the much larger man up and holds his arms back. Clash comes running in with a dropkick square into Hellhole’s chest. **

Matt: Hellhole is he outcast in this match by far. He overshadows all the others by at least a foot and he’s more than 100 pounds heavier than them all.

Tim: Yeah but we’ve seen him use his size to overcome even the greatest of foes.

** Clash goes for another dropkick but is met with… **

Matt: Stevie?

Tim: Stevie.

** Runik nails Clash across the face with Stevie. We flash to outside of the ring where we see Kaydence clash nurturing a sore neck. In the ring, Hellhole turns so that Runik can hit Charisma with Stevie. Runik throws Stevie aside and he and Hellhole start double teaming Charisma. Hellhole whips Charisma into the turnbuckle then whips Runik into him. Runik moonsault kicks Charisma then as Charisma stumbles out of the turnbuckle, Hellhole hits a big boot to his face. **

Matt: Nice double team tactics used by both Hellhole and Runik in this one.

** Hellhole and Runik strike a pose. Much to the crowds delights but as they are posing, Clash blindsides them with Stevie. **

Tim: Oh no! Now Clash has got Stevie!

** Clash goes nuts as he mounts Hellhole and starts pounding the life out of him. Clash lies Stevie across Hellhole’s chest and pushes down on it. **

Tim: That could break his ribs!

Matt: More like shatter them!

** Clash continues to put pressure on Hellhole’s ribs and Charisma starts kicking him in the gut. They don’t see Runik come up behind, he hits a reverse X-Factor on Charisma, he ducks a Stevie swipe from Clash and hits a vertical suplex on him. Runik checks to see if Hellhole is alright and he helps Hellhole stagger to his feet. **

Tim: My god, Hellhole must be in serious pain about now.

** Runik grabs Charisma by the hair and drags him up to his feet. He scoop slams the former two time champion and climbs the turnbuckle. **

Matt: Could it be…

Hellhole: Now that’s what you get for pissing me off Clash… Now with that out of the way I think I might retire properly… Your mom promised me your batch over in the Bahamas for giving her such a wild ride if you know what I’m saying… Good Luck Runik, I retire. I’m getting’ WAY too old for this shit…

** The crowd cheer for Mkman for the simple fact that he has come this far. He runs down to the ring and slides under the ropes. **

Tim: Matt, You said Scurge looked nervous, well this guy looks like an idiot…

Matt: He’s been getting cockier and cockier as he has advanced.

** The cage begins to lower. When it clanks onto the ground people start appearing from behind the curtain. **

** Guys like Charisma, Hellhole, X-Treme, Temp. All of ICW’s active roster, every participant in this tournament is coming out, and they’re all making their way down to the ring and circling the cage. **

Tim: Well Runik would be arrogant too if he wasn’t so tired from winning the US title.

** Mkman goes for the pin. **

Narrow escape.

** Mkman picks Runik up and whips him into the ropes. Mkman goes behind Runik and hits a back drop. Lands on his neck. **

Tim: That must’ve hurt.

** Mkman goes for the pin but it is broken up almost straight away because Runik’s arm is drapped over the rope. Mkman picks Runik up and whipcs him back into the ropes, Runik ducks a clothesline attempt and flips Mkman over. Runik locks on an Sharpshooter right smack bang in the center of the ring. **

Matt: There is one of the greatest submission moves of all time! And Runik;s got him in it in the center of the ring!

Tim: The first fall in this match could happen any second!

** Runik stands there with a determined look on his face as Mkman seems to be writhing in pain. Mkman makes several attempts to get to the ropes but can’t reach them. He squirms around and somehow breaks free of the hold. **

Matt: Your kidding…

** He gets back up and goes for a clothesline, Runik ducks and ankle trips Mkman down. He locks on another Sharpshooter. This time he leans all the way back and Mkman taps out. **

Tim: And the first fall goes to Runik! Now he’s just got to pin Mkman then get the fuck out of there and he’s won!

** Runik goes for a pin. **

Matt: Mkman just pinned Runik!

Tim: Now Runik has to pin him, and he has to get Runik to submit!

Matt: AHHHH! Too Many Stipulations! AHHHH!

** Mkman gets Runik up and whips him into the turnbuckle. He hoists Runik up onto the top rope before adjusting his mask to cover to bit of frizzy blonde hair that’s sticking out the back. He climbs up after and poses to the crowd. **

Tim: What’s he gonna do Matt?

Matt: Why are you asking me?

** Mkman goes for a super hurricarana, but Runik pushes him off of the turnbuckle. Runik stands up and leaps off for the Runik Tribute! **

Matt: He’s going for the pinfall! This could be the part of the match that decides the outcome of the tournament!

Tim: Runik has pinned Mortal Kombat Man! All he’s got to do is get the fuck out fo that ring and he’s won!

** The camera shows a group of ICW wrestlers outside of the ring. Shawn Temp is clapping whilst Hellhole is talking to Ghost about something. In the ring, Runik is struggling to get to his feet. He does, and then starts climbing the cage wall. **

Tim: This can’t be good Matt, Mortal Kombat Man is getting to his feet.

Matt: How is this possible? Runik hit him with everything he’s got!

** Mkman lands a dazed punch to Runik, but this only slows him down. Mkman turns around and reaches back. He grabs Runik and hits a Cross Powerbomb off the cage wall. He gets up and locks on an ankle lock. **’

Tim: He’s going to tap out! Runik is going to tap out!

** The ref checks Runik who is shaking his head, refusing to give up. He reaches out for the ropes but they’re too far away. Mkman twists the ankle further and Runik finally gives up. **

Matt: Runik just gave up! These two are on even ground again!

Tim: Yeah but Mkman isn’t letting go! He wants to injure that ankle!

** The referee prys Runik’s ankle from Mkman’s grasp and Runik clutches it in immense pain. Mkman backs off then makes a run for the cage wall. Runik can’t stand up. **

Tim: Mkman is gonna win!

Matt: Oh my god!

** Mortal Kombat Man drops to the ground and bends down winded. He then realizes what has happened. A ref rushes over to him and gives him the World Title. He just stands there staring at it. The whole arena is silent, even the wrestlers at ringside are in shock. Mortal Kombat Man walks up the aisle as the cage rises, but as he gets to the stage, Hektik grabs a microphone and slides into the ring. **

Hektik: Where do you think you’re going?

** Mortal Kombat Man turns and cocks his head. **

Hektik: You said that if you won, you would unmask, and I want to know who I’m going to beat for the World Title.

** Mortal Kombat Man walks back down to the ring and slides in. He looks at all the wrestlers at ringside, and then at the crowd. **

Tim: This is it Matt, we are now going to find out who Mortal Kombat Man really is.

Matt: Listen to this crowd Tim, they really want to know too.

Crowd: Take it off! Take it off!

Tim: This sounds like a strip show.

** Hektik takes a few steps backwards and Mortal Kombat Man reaches for his mask. He pulls it off. **

Matt: HOLY SHIT! IT’S LEE STONE! LEE STONE IS BACK, AND HE HAS WON THE WORLD TITLE!

Tim: AAHH! He has a dead cat on his head!

Matt: No you idiot, that’s his hair! I think…

** Lee climbs the turnbuckle and raises the belt over his head as the crowd goes nuts. **

Chris Watts: Ladies and Gentlemen, Your winner… And NEW ICW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… LEE STONE!

** ICW King of the Cage II comes to a dramatic end. **
