Clip: As the song continues, a clip is shown where the camera zooms into Joe's pupil, and then clips of him in his old ICW, LOW, and even the old BTW days are shown. Even some clips of him as a kid...
Song: We've seen our share of ups and downs, oh how quickly life can turn around... In an instant! Cause when you are with me, I'm free... I'm careless, I believe... Above all the others... We'll fly... This brings tears... To my eyes... My sacrifice!

Song: Guitar riffs... Cause when you are with me... I'm free... I'm careless... I believe... Above all the others, we'll fly... This brings tears... To my eyes.
Clips: Joe doing various things, from hardcore matches, to more shots of him performing his finishers, including a shot where he's jumping from the top of a ladder with it to the outside of the ring.
Song: I just want to say hello again! My sacrifice...Guitar plucks...
Clips: As the song fades, the pictures become darker and darker, as shots of Joe Cool holding the BTW World Title after a very painful match... The final clip is of a sign held by a fan when he showed back up on Warfare he following week afer sending C4 off of the ramp, which reads "Thank You Joe!.....We immediatly cut into recent events, dramatic music begins playing and the video goes back to a week or two before ICW In Your Face, C4 is in the middle of the ring delivering a promo, and wanting to fight Bob Rocket for the World title, just when Mick Hardy is about to let him have his match, Joe interrupts and says that C4 can't have the title on the line. Calon jumps up and pounds his feet on the mat in a hissy fit.
C4: WHAT!! ARE YOU DRUNK? Joe your one sorry piece of sh*t. Calon Cross is the man that puts the ass' in the seats and you know I deserve the damn shot. You either put the title on the line or forget it all together!
JC: Oh I see, so C4 wants to main event ICW No Remorse huh? He thinks since he's the "cock of the walk" he can automatically get a shot against Bob Rocket for the World title huh? I don't much like your attitude, assmonkey! I'll tell you this, you want to main event ICW No Remorse..... HOW ABOUT YOU MAIN EVENT AGAINST JOE COOL!!!!
The fans errupt as Joe and Calon stare each other down.
C4: Me? Versus Joe Cool? The Masterpiece? The Man without Fear? The Smooth Criminal? YOU GOT IT!
We break away from Joe and C4 starting each other down to go to ICW In Your Face, where C4 is fighting GI for the Hardcore title in a death match. Gi nails the Codered off the ladder while C4 is slumped on the top turnbuckle, but it ends up to be a double pin and C4 is helped up by Dark Rider when the referee says 10 and GI loses. He then gives GI the Heatstroke...soon after Joe comes out and lays Dark Rider out with a chair shot and the Solitaire Unraveling.
We cut to a clips of Joe and C4 interviews intermingled with fights between the two.
C4: Joe is trying to distance himself from me as much as possible.
Clips: C4 attacking WWW superstars then Joe having him removed from the building.
JC: Did security removing you instead of me seem cowardly? Maybe to a self-serving "holier than thou" prick like yourself, who twists things to fit your own interests.
Clip: C4 acting cocky in the ring
C4: Everyone knows since the other night, Joe has a problem with me.
Clip: Joe gives C4 the Solitaire Unraveling off the stage
C4: He can't stand that I'm reaching heights he never could.
Clips: C4 winning the Hardcore title, being picked #1 for FNX
C4: Too bad hes backed himself into a corner by challanging me for No Remorse.
C4 attacks Joe Cool while wearing a Lo Tai Xaio mask
JC: We don't play by your rules C4, we play by mine. See we do that, because I'm the only one that can make the rules. You can't make the rules because you don't have the authority, and you just plain don't deserve the right to do it.
Clip: C4 removing the Lo Tai Xaio mask to reveal who he is.
C4: HEY JOE! Face the facts... Calon Cross is in every way shape and form one hundred percent perfect!
Clips: C4 defeating Bob Rocket, DLM, and Pozen on FNX
JC: C4, you don't even to deserve to have me grace you with my presence in the ring.
Clip: Joe startles a cocky C4 and lays him out once again with the Solitaire Unraveling.
JC: You are nothing! When we fight, sure you might get in your standard TJO, Token Jobber Offense..
Clips: C4 assaults Joe backstage, lead pipe shots, and the Heatstroke on the concrete floor, along with a comment from Rick Daniels put in.
RD: Our very own Joe Cool fights C4 in get this, a "Respect" match! C4 doesn't respect anybody!
Clip: C4 and Orb beating up Bob Rocket, and another clip of his attack on Joe, just to show he doesn't respect anyone
JC: But in the end you'll be One Step Closer to the bottom of the ladder when I beat you down.
Clips: Various ones of Joe beating up C4, including another shot of the Solitaire Unraveling off of the stage.
JC: But hey, I'm not telling you anything, that you don't already know....
Joe's final words echo as the video package fades and we head back to the ring.
RD: Yeah and the rules were changed earlier today. Joe already said he respect C4 as a wrestler, but said he'd never quit. So they both decided to have the rules changed to C4 has to say I Respect You, and Joe has to say I Quit!
DL: Which means it may be awhile before we get a winner. Joe has no quit in him, and C4 has no respect for anyone.
"Instigator" by D12 hits as C4 walks out only to be booed out of the arena. His music is being drowned out by the resounding amount of boos from the crowd...
Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen we now go on to the main event of the night with this matchup, a Respect Match! Introducing first, from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina...weighing in at two hundred and twenty five pounds....C4!!!!
RD: Did Kelly just announce C4? These fans are booing the hell out of him!
DL: They are Joe's friends, his family, and his hometown fans, they are letting C4 know EXACTLY what they think of him.
C4 makes his way to the ring and poses on a turnbuckle. The fans boo Calon and he responds with the �up yours� gesture. C4 warms up against the ropes.
RD: C4 is ready to step into the ring with Joe. He is prepared, emotionally, mentally and physically.
DL: This is perhaps the biggest match of his life.
C4 watches the entranceway as the arena goes dark. "The Man Without Fear" by Drowning Pool & Rob Zombie blares over the speakers and Joe Cool steps through the set entrance to a standing ovation!!
Kelly: And his opponent, from right here in East Rutherford, New Jersey! Weighing in at two hundred and seventy pounds...JOE COOL!!!!!!
RD: Listen to that ovation Love! I can't tell which reaction was louder, the hate for C4 or the cheers for Joe!
DL: Joe Cool is finally home! Main eventing in his hometown and the fans are glad to see him.
Joe steps inside of the ring and removes his overcoat and smiles. C4 glares at him from the corner and Joe flips him off to draw cheers from the crowd.
RD: Man Joe just blatantly flipped off C4..what a total lack of disrespect!
DL: C4 knows how it feels then!
The crowd is buzzing with anticipation as both Joe and C4 look at each other awaiting the bell..when the bell finally DOES ring the crowd ROARS with approval that match finally starts and Joe and C4 don't start things traditionally by locking up but they start fighting back and forth with rights and lefts. Joe blocks a right hand from C4 and nails one of his own and begins knocking C4 back into the ropes, he irish whips C4 to the other side, C4 comes back and Joe tries to backdrop him, but C4 lands on his feet! Joe turns around for a clothesline but C4 counters with an arm drag, Joe is back up, goes for another clothesline, C4 ducks it, and nails a HUGE neckbreaker to give him the early advantage and end the wrestling sequence abruptly. Joe falls down to the mat and holds his neck in obvious pain and C4 smirks at the crowd who are booing.
RD: C4 doing the smart thing here, going right after that neck of Joe. Of course everyone knows Joe has a history of neck problems, in fact that was a key factor in his matchup with Judgement!
DL: Yes and unlike that match C4 has no injuries that we are aware of, which puts Joe at a huge disadvantage.
RD: Yes but knowing Joe he'll create a weakness, possibly in the knees.
Joe wastes no time in getting back up, trying to shake off the small pain in his neck. C4 grabs him and whips him into the ropes, and he tries for a clothesline and Joe ducks it, bounces off the other side right into a dropkick from Cross. C4 is back in control. He picks Joe up and forces him into the turnbuckle, slamming the back of Joe's neck into the top turnbuckle pad. He tosses him down with a snapmare and smirks again before trying to remove the turnbuckle pad here in the early going.
DL: C4 trying to remove that padding to expose the steel ring on the turnbuckle..the referee is telling him not to!
RD: All the referee can do is beg, there are no rules!
C4 tosses the padding down but Joe is already up and dropkicks C4 causing him to hit the turnbuckle face first and fall back down and the fans cheer with approval. Joe is back up shouting at them and he picks up C4, who now has a small cut above his eye..but C4 retaliates with a low blow and then drop toeholds Joe into the middle turnbuckle, and he's back in control. He picks Joe up in a powerbomb-like position and just drops him on the back of his neck right on that exposed ring!!!
DL: Oh my God! What a vicious manuever!
Joe drops to the mat like he's been shot in the neck holding it in pain. C4 now executes some stomps before allowing Joe to stand just enough to get in a swinging neckbreaker, putting him back down. C4 goes to pick Joe up but Joe hits him in the ribs with right hands, Joe whips C4 into the ropes, but C4 blocks the whip, kicks him in the gut, and nails a DDT!
RD: It seems like every time Joe gets an advantage C4 goes back to the neck. That's not only smart strategy but a neck submission could make Joe say those words he's never said!
DL: Of course I don't think anyone could blame him.
Joe rolls outside of the ring holding his neck and the crowd at ringside is cheering him on, Joe turns around as C4 leaps over the top rope with a pescado! Both guys are down at the base of the ramp, but C4 is up first and he whips Joe into the steel barricade, back and neck first. C4 rolls Joe back inside the ring and gives the middle finger to a fan in the front row..this small amount of time allows Joe to drop down with a baseball slide knocking C4 into the barricade! The fan talks trash at C4 as Joe is back in control. He goes and searches for weapons under the ring and finds a kendo stick!
RD: The first weapon of this matchup has been found!!!
DL: And I know Joe intends to use it.
C4 turns around and sees the kendo stick in Joe's hand and starts begging off, but Joe will hear none of it he slams the kendo stick into C4's ribs to weaken him and then he nails him with a shot in the knee, which makes C4 drop down on the concrete floor on his back and he rolls to his side holding the knee.
RD: That's not fair at all!
DL: It's within the rules Rick.
Now having the obvious advantage Joe rolls C4 into the ring and follows him in. C4 is up with a small limp, trying to shake off the effects of the kendo stick shot. Joe grabs his leg and executes a picture perfect dragon screw legwhip. Still holding the knee he pulls C4 over to the ropes and he places the leg over the bottom rope and jumps from the middle one with a butt drop on the inside of the knee. He repeats it twice and then drags C4 to the middle of the ring and tries for a figure-4, but C4 manages to use his other leg to kick Joe through the ropes and outside of the ring, buying him some time.
RD: C4 used a smart move right there, he wants to prevent Joe from hurting that leg if he can, because then Joe will have an opening to win and he doesn't want that.
DL: That's true, and if Joe wants to win he'd better go back to work to get the advantage in his favor.
Joe climbs back inside as C4 is trying to shake off the pain in his leg and he runs and clips the knee, putting C4 back on the mat. C4 tries to get back up and Joe puts him back down with a drop toe hold, and then he locks in an STF! While Joe has him in the STF on that knee he demands the referee ask C4.
RD: The referee has the mic and he's asking C4 if he respects Joe..
C4: You've not yet earned the right to hold my jock strap Joe, much less my respect!
Joe doesn't like what he hears and releases the STF but with the foot of C4 on the inside of Joe's knee he drops back into a deathlock, but instead of keeping it on as a submission he picks himself back up and drops back again! He releases the knee and kicks C4 in the back to make him roll over on it. Joe goes back to a Figure 4 but this time it's near the turnbuckle and C4 manages to push him off and into it. As Joe stumbles out of the corner, C4, with a noticable limp now, nails Joe with a snap suplex putting him down on that neck.
DL: And now C4 is back in control, although you can tell Joe has weakened that knee.
RD: Yes and C4 has a neck injury on Joe to work with, so they're pretty much even now.
C4 slams Joe with another snap suplex before climbing outside to get some weapons. He tosses in that same kendo stick from before along with a chair, a table, ladder, and C4 also has a steel chain wrapped around his fist...and then he pulls out something he's familiar with..the lead pipe...
DL: Uh oh...that's the lead pipe he used to injure Joe's neck anyway! Using that thing could take Joe out permanently!
C4 rolls into the ring and measures Joe up as Joe tries to stand he hits him in the head with a lead pipe shot! Joe falls back down to the mat and the referee takes the pipe away from C4!!
RD: He can't do that it's all within the rules!
DL: I think the referee is trying to risk the damage done to both men, and he knows what C4 could do with that pipe.
C4 argues with the referee as Joe struggles to pick himself up and he's visibly busted wide open across his forehead. C4 decides to forget about the lead pipe and he grabs the chain and starts choking Joe with it. Joe tears at his neck trying to pull away the chain but C4 wrenches back on it. C4 tells the referee to ask Joe if he gives up.
C4: GIVE UP OR I'LL CHOKE YOU TO DEATH!
RD: C4 made it clear right there...The referee is asking Joe.
Joe can't talk he's being choked but he shakes his head no and snapmares C4 over his shoulders to stop the choking and he tries to regain his breath. He grabs the mic from the referee.
JC: C4 you should know I'm the man without fear! I don't even fear DEATH!
Joe stomps on C4 and as C4 tries to get up Joe comes off of the ropes with a shining wizard kick! C4 falls back down and Joe is back in control. He picks up C4 and whips him into the turnbuckle, but C4 reverses and Joe goes to the turnbuckle. C4 sets Joe up top and tries for a superplex but Joe holds on and he drops down to the apron and with C4 still on the top Joe jumps into the ring with a Sunset Bomb!!!
DL: Wow! An awesome move from Joe! He countered the superplex with the sunset bomb!
The fans are on their feet cheering as Joe is back in control once again. He grabs the leg of C4 to work on it some more, he drags C4 to the ringpost and goes outside with a ring post figure 4!!! C4 screams in pain as his knee is being torn into by Joe. Joe demands the referee ask him.
C4: I RESPECT YO....
RD: He's gonna say it! We are gonna have a winner!
C4: I RESPECT YOGI BEAR!!!!
DL: Hey boo boo, he didn't say it!
RD: Don't ever call me Boo Boo again damnit.
The fans boo at C4 not quitting and Joe releases the figure 4 even though he doesn't have to. He slides back into the ring as C4 struggles to get himself up on the now bad leg. Joe grabs C4 and picks him up on his shoulders, the crowd suspects he's going to hit his finisher but before he can C4 escapes with a HUGE neckbreaker!! C4 is back in control after that vicious neckbreaker. C4 sets up a chair and grabs Joe...T-BONE SUPLEX ON THE CHAIR!! Joe is holding his neck and kicking his legs after the landing and C4 decides to end it. He gets the mic and asks..
C4: And now, you'll be counting not only the lights, but the number of fans who hate you when you quit!
JC: Go to hell assmonkey!
DL: It's going to take a helluva lot to make Joe quit!
He places Joe close to the turnbuckle and he climbs up for the Disasterpiece....but Joe kicks the ropes causing C4 to crotch himself..Joe grabs the chair and swings it upward into C4's head which makes him fall back down to the mat. Joe sets up the table and the ladder. He puts C4 on the table and starts climbing up the ladder, and we can see C4 is also bleeding profusely.
DL: Joe looks like he's going to try something risky here Rick...
RD: He's tried the One Step Closer like this before and he missed it! He misses it all the time!
C4 decides he doesn't want to feel the One Step Closer, and he climbs up the ladder opposite Joe and starts hitting him. Joe does a smart move by kicking C4 in the knee, and when C4 looks down to hold it in pain Joe slams his head on the front of the ladder. C4 starts to tip backwards but Joe grabs him before he can fall and he has a better plan...he grabs C4 and picks him up on his shoulders..SOLITAIRE UNRAVELING OFF THE LADDER TO THE TABLE BELOW!!!
DL: Joe just sent C4 down through the wood into the ring...and now Joe's looking to top that!
Joe stands up on the ladder and the fans are buzzing..ONE STEP CLOSER...AND HE HITS IT!!! Joe holds his stomach in pain and C4 seems to be out of it. Both men are down and the fans are stomping their feet to get Joe up and after a few moments he gets himself up..the whiplash appears to have hurt his neck. He grabs the ladder and tosses it outside, along with any other weapons. He grabs a mic and starts smacking C4 to wake him up..
JC: And now, C4, Calon Cross, you tell my hometown how much you respect the Smooth Criminal!
RD: Is C4 going to say it, after all he's been put through?
C4: Who do I look like to you? Arthea Franklin?
JC: F*CK YOU C4! I'm going to MAKE YOU respect me!
Joe grabs the kendo stick and slams it down on C4's knee and then locks on the Cool Crunch! He's got it locked in tight and if C4 wasn't fully awake before he is now! Joe wrenches the hold and pulls on the knee and as C4 is in visible pain he tells the ref to ask him.
DL: Here we go this could be it.
C4: I RESPECT...CALON F'N CROSS!!
Joe has a look of extreme anger and frustration on his face and he turns around and begins to just wildly punch C4 in the face.
RD: Uh-oh Love..I think Joe has snapped!
Joe continues laying his fists into C4's face but C4 reaches out with an effort to get him off and he grabs the kendo stick and pops Joe right in the skull! Joe falls off of C4 and C4 struggles to stand on his knee. He picks up Joe and nails him with a jumping DDT on the mat and Joe goes completely vertical in the air and lands on his back. He picks Joe back up and lands a Tiger Suplex dropping him on that neck again. C4 decides to lock on a submission of his own..he locks on a border city stretch which holds on the arms and wrenches the neck and Joe is slipping in and out of being awake and out cold, but he is in visible pain. C4 decides to smack him around to boos from the crowd. He demands the crowd shut up and the referee asks Joe.
JC: Hey C4, Kiss My Ass!!
C4: WRONG ANSWER JOE!
C4 grabs Joe and delivers a cobra neckbreacker. He then picks Joe back up with an arm wrench, then does a lionsault into a DDT! He once again placed pressure on the neck before he goes to the stretch again...Joe is yelling and he's losing a lot of blood as C4, who is also bleeding heavily is shouting at the crowd..the referee asks Joe again...but C4 wants to speak first...
C4: Joe...you know I'm going to snap your neck if you don't say I Quit!
DL: Man Joe is in trouble here..I know C4 means it!
RD: If Joe does say I Quit I don't think the fans would love him any less....
JC: Argh....I QUIT!!
DL: HE SAID IT!! JOE SAID I QUIT!
RD: I think C4 just made history!
C4 finally releases the hold after hearing the two words and he drops back to the mat, exhausted. The referee raises his arm in victory and Joe is out cold in the center of the ring. C4 picks himself off of the mat and holds his hand up. The fans are booing him but they are also in shock at what has happened. C4 grabs the mic.
C4: Joe....I made you quit! But....I want to say this, you gave me the best match of my life..and for that I have to say thank you...
DL: C4 is showing some class and respect to Joe!
RD: Well why shouldn't he? Joe and C4 fought for awhile with each other in a brutal contest!
C4 waits for Joe to stand and offers his hand for a handshake and Joe looks around, and before he even gets the chance to take it someone attacks him from behind...two people actually! They begin stomping down Joe as C4 raises the mic to speak once agian.
C4: Now that I've done what no one else could do, I'd like to introduce my brothers..."Devine" Evan Vines & Kryst Ciafri!
DL: I knew C4 couldn't show respect!
C4 joins his brothers in the kicking down of Joe..when suddenly from the back GI & JJ Crawford, Joe's Pac-stablemates run out!! The slide in the ring and begin fighting with all three people, and before it gets to be 3 on 2, with Joe still being out of it, El Enigma runs out to even the odds!! GI and JJ throw out C4's brothers, and then Enigma nails C4 with a dropkick sending him outside! C4, Vines & Ciafri cuss at them as they stand in the ring...Enigma, JJ and GI all step outside as EMT's begin bringing a stretcher for Joe...but as the EMT's get in the ring Joe refuses their help...he uses the ropes to pull himself up..the fans are now on their feet giving him a standing ovation!
RD: We knew the fans wouldn't love him any less listen to this ovation for Joe!
DL: No Remorse certainly will go down in history as a historic pay-per-view! I'm David Love, for Rick Daniels, good night everybody!
Respect Match
Joe Cool vs C4
DL: And now ladies and gentlemen it's time for the main event, but before the fighters come out let's go to a highlight tape showing how this came about.
