have done? This is not only a sin. Not only will I have to
repent; I'll have to be born again, because when I get done with
you, you'll look ten times worse than I do now. Just because I'm
an altar boy that doesn't mean I'm perfect. Doesn't mean you
can't piss me off. Beware, Azzy, I'm coming for you. I'm coming
for your soul, and it won't be long. Peace be with you, because
it won't be when I get a hold of you. In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

4:38. Azrael was stomping away on Luke as soon as he slid into

leveled Azrael with a spinkick. Luke came up favoring his ankle
but continued on the attack with clubbing blows to the back of
the neck. They traded standing. Luke hit a flatliner. Luke went
back to pounding Azrael's neck. Wilson called it retribution.

you could set your watch by it. Bailey handed Azrael that whacked
cutting instrument for some slicing and dicing. The lights went
out.
Lights on and Gabriel was in the ring. Gabriel and Luke attacked
the Elite with a vengeance. Luke clotheslined Azrael over the
top. Gabriel unleashed a wicked new move on Rainman, an inversion
of Azrael's Fall From Grace (torture rack into a sitout
powerbomb). Bailey ordered the Elite to retreat. Luke and Gabriel
cemented their alliance with an exchange of holy hand gestures,
as Wilson summed things up. "Amazing. The return of Gabriel,
The Archangel, the brother, the former tag team partner of
Azrael, the man that put Gabriel out of commission. He's back. He
is back for his revenge. Back to aid Altar Boy Luke in this Holy
War."
Goodman says this took place on 10/18/03.

marred to a degree when the top rope snapped clean off its
moorings after Luke got whipped into it. The guys didn't miss a
trick and adapted well for the rest of the match. (Sure glad it
was the last scheduled match of the evening, though.) Actually,
it should look pretty cool on TV, come to think of it. Post match

event, Jason Cross def. Altar Boy Luke via DQ (8:52) to advance

bitch," said Luke.

Angels Wings on Luke and the Best Moonsault Ever on Gabriel. Luke
was then laid out with the Violator 4:20 by Azrael and Rainman,
at which Bailey got into his face and said, "Welcome to your
personal hell. God’s not your friend. God doesn’t love
you. God can’t help you. God will murder you, if I
don’t do it first." He continued, saying that it was
time to cure the “spiritual syphilis” that had infected
the building far too long, and then forced the ref to make a
three count (although an unofficial one) on Luke. Bailey and
Daniels then hugged and Bailey told the fans that the NWA Elite
were their Gods, "not these pieces of sh*t."

took him out. Brandon rolled over onto a semiconscious James to
eliminate him. Luke then pinned Brandon with a Flying Leg Drop
(off of the top turnbuckle) all the way across the ring.
Northcutt finally won the match by pinning Luke with a
sick-looking butterfly brainbuster. Following the show's
intermission, Scott Hudson came out to welcome special guest
"Beautiful" Bobby Eaton. Sal Rinauro, The Naturals, and
a guy with a tennis racket interrupted the segment, though, and
attacked Eaton. Rinauro unveiled his new gimmick to be Sal
"The Snake" Rinauro, and held a sack that allegedly
