[The screen goes black as the countdown to the PPV finishes. White letters come up on the screen, reading simply: "WARNING: The following program may be unsuitable for some viewers. Discretion is advised." This is replaced by a spinning LCW logo, as "Chop Suey" by System of a Down begins to play. For the next two minutes, your mind is deluged with shots of LCW past and present, finishing with a shot of "The Extreme Franchise" Tyrone Walker standing tall the ring after winning the LCW World Heavyweight Title from Johnny Wannabe and Jim Roberts. This is replaced by another shot of the LCW logo. The scene switches to a view of the arena, showing the full seats, and a show of fireworks announcing the beginning of the broadcast to those in attendance. We then cut to the announcer's table, where Jimmy Williams sits patiently, awaiting his cue.]
Jimmy: Welcome LCW fans to our April spectacular, Supernova! Tonight the LCW's title division gets blown wide open as the four men's singles titles are being merged into two belts! Half the number of titles, quadruple the number of contenders! Tonight, in our double main event, we will see Hardcore Champion The Shadow and World Television Champion "The King of Pain" Stephen Greer battle it out over the Unified Television Title, while in the other match of our double main event, LCW veteran and current World Cruiserweight Champion Angel of Death takes on current World Heavyweight Champion "The Extreme Franchise" Tyrone Walker. Can Team Danger stay on top of the LCW, holding the World Tag Team Titles as well as the two Unified titles, or will The Shadow and Angel of Death put a stop to their tyrannical rule over the LCW? We'll just have to wait to find out, as three other matches are scheduled tonight. In a match that has been declared a #1 contenders match, The End will take on Good Intentions. The winner of this match will face Team Danger for the World Tag Team Titles next Friday at Disturbing Behaviour, so everything is on the line for both teams tonight. Also tonight, the #1 Contenders to the Unified Titles are in action as "The Sasquatch" Jacob Lawrence and "The Southwestern Icon" Texas Lightning go one on one, and STEALTH faces "Reverend" Jakob McLean! That's an exciting lineup, and I can't wait to see what happens! Take us away, Ray!
[Cut to a shot of the entranceway, with a voiceover from Ray Albright.]
Ray: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the #1 Contendership to the World Tag Team Titles.
[On the big screen is a flashing dollar sign. Alternated with Damien G. White III. They flash about every 5 seconds. "Money Talks" by AC/DC hits and a green spotlight with a white dollar sign comes to the entranceway. He follows it to the ring and jumps over the top rope.]
Ray: Introducing first, from Wall Street, he weighs in at 240 pounds. Already in the ring, accompanied by Opal, here is Damien G. White the Third!
[White poses for the crowd as various fight sequences are flashing on the big screen. "The Fight Song" by Marilyn Manson comes on the PA. Carlos Cula comes out from the back. He stops at the top of the entrance ramp and flexes his muscles. He poeses for 30 seconds or so and then slowly walks to the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope and stands behind Damien with his arms crossed.]
Ray: His partner, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he weighs in at 345 pounds. Joining his partner in the ring, also accompanied by Opal, here is Carlos Cula!
[White, Cula and Opal pose for the fans as the sound of church bells fills the air to a mixed reaction.]
Ray: Their opponents, led to the ring by The Repenter, here are Father Superior and Purgatory, Good Intentions!
["Highway to Hell" by AC/DC replaces the church bells as Father Superior, Purgatory and The Repenter step through the curtain, and head down to the ring. The Repenter slides into the ring as Father Superior and Purgatory step over the ropes to enter the ring.]
The End vs. Good Intentions
Jimmy: Father Superior removing his habit as Purgatory taunts their opponents. Purgatory leaves the ring, as does Damien G. White the third, leaving Carlos Cula and Father Superior to start things off. Cula goes for a tie-up, but Father Superior avoids it, opting to bury an elbow in the back of Cula's neck instead. Cula drops to one knee, and Father Superior hits him hard in the face with a kneelift. Cula hits the mat hard. Father Superior goes for a splash, but Cula quickly rolls out of the way. Cula takes the upper hand, grabbing Father Superior by the head as he rises to his feet. Father Superior is whipped into the ropes, and Cula follows closely, nailing Father Superior with a lariat in the corner. Cula now choking Father Superior with his foot as the referee begins to count. (One, Two, Three, Four, Cula releases the choke.) Cula lodges his foot in the throat of Father Superior again right away. Father Superior struggling to push Cula's foot away, and he finally does. Father Superior holds the foot of Carlos Cula as he walks out of the corner. He spins Cula around by the foot, and catches him quickly with an abdominal stretch out of nowhere.
[Cula cries out in pain as Father Superior tightens the hold. They are nowhere near the ropes, so Father Superior has no choice but to keep it a legal hold.]
Jimmy: Cula is struggling to get out of the hold. Cula with a left hand to the side of Father Superior's head. This distracts Father Superior enough to allow Cula to hiptoss him, breaking the hold. Cula holds onto Father Superior's arm, and locks in a leglock armbar. We're seeing some technical wrestling out of a pair of teams that aren't known for their technique. Father Superior struggles towards the ropes, reaching out to grab the bottom rope. He reaches it, and the referee begins to count. (One, Two, Three, Four, Cula releases the hold.) The referee backs Carlos Cula away from Father Superior as he gets back to his feet. He rushes over and tags in Purgatory as the referee allows Cula to continue the match. Cula steps back a bit, tagging in Damien G. White the third. White ducks a lariat from the enormous Purgatory, and counters with a swift kick to the back of the big man's left knee. Purgatory turns, but ends up on the receiving end of a dropkick to the same knee, which takes him down a step. White with a hard forearm to the face of Purgatory, but that only serves to anger the much larger man. Purgatory back on both feet now, and he grabs White by the head, tossing him into the corner. Purgatory rushes in, but White lifts his foot, connecting with the head of the big man.
[Purgatory is staggered, facing the other way now, as White climbs to the top rope. White leaps off, catching Purgatory by the head, and goes for a bulldog. Purgatory crashes hard to the mat.]
Jimmy: Purgatory is down! White rolls him over, and covers! (One, Two, Purgatory powers out of the pin.) White went flying out of the pin, and hits the referee! The referee is down, and out! Cula enters the ring as Purgatory gets to his feet. White attacks an entering Father Superior, knocking him out of the ring. Purgatory is on his feet, but shaky. Cula and White set up on either side of the big man. White with a spinning heel kick while Cula goes for a sweep! Purgatory hits the mat again! Father Superior is back on his feet, sliding into the ring. Father Superior attacks White, dropping him with a piledriver while Cula begins stomping on Purgatory. Father Superior hits Cula with a lariat, knocking him away from Purgatory. Both illegal men roll out of the ring as the referee starts to stir. A groggy Damien White crawls over to Purgatory, draping his arm across Purgatory's shoulders. The referee wakes up, and sees the pin. (One, Two, KICKOUT!!!!) Purgatory kicked out! Both men get to their feet slowly as their tag team partners return to their respective corners. Purgatory grabs White by the head, dragging him towards Father Superior and the Good Intentions' corner. Purgatory tags in Father Superior, then picks up a groggy Damien White into a backbreaker, which he holds. Father Superior climbs the ropes, Demolition Decapitation! This match is all over, folks! Purgatory attacks Cula as the referee drops to make the count. (One, Two, THREE!!!)
[Cula and Purgatory brawl on the outside of the ring, making their way to the back as Father Superior celebrates the win. Suddenly, The Chaos Factor jump out from the crowd, and attack Father Superior. The three men brawl to the back as "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC plays, signifying the Good Intentions win. Cut to Jimmy at the announce table.]
Jimmy: Well folks, that was the barn burner I expected it to be. Purgatory is certainly establishing himself as quite a monster in that ring. Up next is another behemoth of the LCW rings, "The Sasquatch" Jacob Lawrence, taking on "The Southwestern Icon" Texas Lightning.
[Cut to backstage, where Crazy Canuck is giving Jacob Lawrence a pep talk before the match. Cut to a shot of Texas Lightning in his locker room, preparing for the match. Finally, cut to a shot of the entranceway, with a voiceover by Ray Albright.]
Ray: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Tuktiaktuk, Northwest Territories, he weighs in at 499 pounds. Making his way to the ring, led by Crazy Canuck, here is "The Sasquatch" Jacob Lawrence!
[A spotlight shines on the entranceway. Snow begins falling from the ceiling. "Great White North" by Bob and Doug MacKenzie begins playing over the PA. Jacob and the Crazy Canuck exit from the back and walk to the ring.]
Ray: His opponent, from Nacogdoches, Texas, he weighs in at 244 pounds. Led to the ring by Sassy Stephanie, here is "The Southwestern Icon" Texas Lightning!
[He comes out to "The Hunter" by GTR, doing a slight imidation of Mick Foley's "Bang Bang" act as he comes down to the ring. He poses several times and taunts the fans.]
"The Sasquatch" Jacob Lawrence vs. "The Southwestern Icon" Texas Lightning
Jimmy: This should be an excellent match as both of these competitors have torn up LCW rings for quite a while now. The bell sounds, and Jacob Lawrence immediately advances upon Texas Lightning. TL side-steps the big man, and bounces off the ropes behind him. TL comes back quickly off the ropes, and goes for a bulldog, but Jacob shrugs him off. TL lands hard on his ass, and Jacob capitalizes. He picks up TL by the head, and nails him with a kneebreaker. TL cries out in pain as Jacob hits the knee that has been a chronic problem for him. This could be a quick match.
[Jacob whips TL into the ropes, but TL holds on to the ropes instead of rebounding off of them. Jacob knocks him out of the ring with a big boot. TL hits the floor hard. Jacob climbs over the top rope and outside of the ring.]
Jimmy: TL and Jacob in front of me now, as the bigger man picks up TL and tosses him back into the ring. Jacob climbs back in, as TL struggles to get back to his feet. He gets up, but is visibly hurt on the one side. Jacob catches TL in a bearhug. Just as TL is about to tap out, Jacob hits the Great White North! TL is knocked unconscious! The referee checks him. He's calling for the bell! This match is over!
[Jacob releases the hold, and stands up. The referee raises Jacob's hand as Sassy Stephanie collects her husband from the ring. Cut to the announcer's table.]
Jimmy: What a suprising twist tonight, as a lucky hit to Texas Lightning's weaker knee completely affects the match! I guess we should get right to the next match. Ray, what do you have for us?
[Cut to the entranceway, and Ray's voiceover.]
Ray: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Parts Unknown, he weighs in at 270 pounds. Making his way to the ring, here is STEALTH!
[The lights go out and fans begin to cheer and boo. "The Unforgiven II" by Metallica starts and the fans are going NUTS. Just as the intro goes into the music, fireworks explode in the ring and from the rafters. STEALTH then is lowered from the ceiling to a spot in the crowd. His arms are raised in the air as he hits the floor. He unclips himself and slowly walks to the ring. With red strobe-lights flashing, STEALTH enters the ring and stands in the centre. He throws his arms into the air and red fireworks erupt from the four turnbuckles as well as the rafters! When the fireworks fade, the lights come up and the music fades out!]
Ray: His opponent, from Jacksonville, Mississippi, he weighs in at 305 pounds. Making his way to the ring, escorted by The Repenter, here is "Reverend" Jakob McLean!
[Church bells ring throughout the arena, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd. The Repenter steps through the curtain, followed closely by "Reverend" Jakob McLean. The two men walk to the ring, greeting the fans along the aisle who are cheering them. They reach the ring, and Jakob McLean climbs in.]
STEALTH vs. "Reverend" Jakob McLean
Jimmy: The bell sounds as STEALTH and McLean stare each other down. They dive into a collar and elbow tie-up. They jockey for position, as STEALTH is a little un-used to being the smaller man in the match. A kneelift gives the former LCW champion the advantage, which he turns into a DDT. McLean rolls away from STEALTH, and gets to his feet. STEALTH advances on McLean, but Jakob nails STEALTH with a hard scoop slam. STEALTH avoids an elbow drop, and connects with one of his own. STEALTH back on his feet now, helping McLean up by the head. McLean gets STEALTH off of him with a low blow. STEALTH drops to his knees, and McLean grabs him by the head. McLean slams STEALTH's face into his knee repeatedly before the referee backs McLean away.
[STEALTH uses this reprieve to get back on his feet. The referee steps out from between them, and McLean jabs his thumb in STEALTH's eye. STEALTH staggers back, and McLean connects with a thundering right hand when STEALTH turns back around. McLean follows with another right, then one more, battering STEALTH up to the ropes. McLean pushes STEALTH into the ropes, then whips him across the ring to the other set of ropes. STEALTH comes back, ready to deliver a lariat, but McLean ducks it. STEALTH hits the other set of ropes, and McLean drops to his stomach. STEALTH leaps over the prone McLean, hitting the ropes on the other side yet again. This time, McLean is ready for the returning STEALTH, taking him up and over with a hiptoss that sends STEALTH to the floor.]
Jimmy: What a combination, resulting in the expulsion of STEALTH from the ring! STEALTH is still reeling from that exchange, as Jakob reaches down to grab STEALTH by the hair. There is some sort of commotion in the crowd ... it's The Chaos Factor! They're headed to the ring to help their leader! Good Intentions have appeared at the entranceway now, they're headed to the ring! Both teams hit the ring at the same time, each one attacking the other group's leader! The referee has seen enough, he's calling for the bell!
[The bell rings repeatedly as referees stream to the ring to separate the six men.]
Jimmy: The problems between Good Intentions and The Apocalypse are far from over, I'm afraid. I can only see great things between these two groups in the future. Speaking of the future, it's time for the first solid step towards the future of the LCW as four title divisions are melded into two! The first of our two Main Event matches is next!

[Cut to a shot of the new Unified Television Title belt on the timekeeper's table, then to a shot of the entranceway.]
Ray: The following contest is the first of two main events, scheduled for one fall. It is for the Unified Television Title. Introducing first, from where the darkness meets the light, he weighs in at 230 pounds. Making his way to the ring, the LCW Hardcore Champion, here is The Shadow!
["Fade to Black" by Metallica plays over the speaker as the lights dim to black. A single blue spotlight appears at the entranceway, where a man stands, wearing a trenchcoat and large brimmed hat. The man makes his way to the ring, slowly, taking in all that is around him. He climbs gingerly into the ring, where he removes the coat and hat to reveal The Shadow. Slowly, the lights return to normal as he prepares in the ring.]
Ray: His opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, he is one half of the World Tag Team Champions. Weighing in at 239 pounds, he is the World Television Champion. Making his way to the ring, here is "The King of Pain" Stephen Greer!
[The boos begin immediately as the first chords of Twiztid�s "We Won�t Die" erupt over the loudspeaker as do the boos from the fans. The roars are so big that the camera up in the balcony is shaking from the decibel shattering roar. Red, orange, green and blue smoke rises from the stage while strobe lights flash across the ceiling brightening up the ballroom. All the fans turn one way and when the camera pans over it sees Greer standing up in the balcony holding his stop sign. He then slowly makes his way through the fans towards the ring wearing a multicolored ICP hockey jersey and black combat pants. He finally climbs over the barricade into the ringside area and climbs into the ring.]
Main Event #1, Unified Television Title Match: The Shadow vs. "The King of Pain" Stephen Greer
Jimmy: This should be an interesting match, as we have two very different basic styles, although I have seen The Shadow get as hardcore as Greer tends to get, and I have seen Greer's technical side. The bell sounds, and Greer rushes into a collar and elbow tie-up with The Shadow. The Shadow ducks around, getting a waistlock on Greer. Standing switch by Greer, then another by The Shadow. One more by Greer, then one more by The Shadow. The Shadow goes for a German suplex, but Greer blocks it with a back heel kick that connects low. The referee warns Stephen Greer.
[The Shadow has staggered over to the ropes, and Greer sends The Shadow over the ropes with a dropkick. The Shadow gets to his feet in time to catch a springboard cross body block by Greer. Both men tumble to the floor. Greer gets to his feet first, and raises The Shadow up by the head. He sets up The Shadow, slamming him into the guardrail with a russian legsweep! Greer grabs The Shadow by the head again, and slides him back into the ring. The Shadow gets back to his feet as Greer slides into the ring. Greer rushes at The Shadow, but ends up on the receiving end of a drop toe hold. The Shadow latches on with a leglock, but Greer kicks him off. Greer rushes at The Shadow, who drops him to the mat, hooking on an armbar. Greer struggles to the ropes, reaching the bottom one. (One, Two, Three, The Shadow releases the hold.) The Shadow kicks Greer in the small of the back as he gets back to his feet. The referee backs The Shadow off, allowing Greer to stand up. Greer and The Shadow lock up in the middle of the ring.]
Jimmy: They're back at it now, this time Greer gets the advantage with a spinebuster on The Shadow. Greer raises The Shadow off of the mat to a standing position. He whips The Shadow into the ropes, and nails him with a powerslam on the way back. The Shadow on his feet again, thanks to Greer. The Shadow tries to get the advantage again, going for a snap suplex, but Greer blocks it. FISHERMAN'S BUSTER! Greer hit the Sweet Dreams! He goes for the cover! (One, Two, THREE!!!!)
[The bell sounds as Greer gets back to his feet. The referee gets the new title belt from the timekeeper, and puts it around Greer's waist.]
Jimmy: We have a new Unified Television Champion! Now, can Stephen Greer's tag team partner make it a double feature, winning the Unified World Title, or will LCW mainstay Angel of Death break the string of victories for Walker? We're about to find out! Ray! Get us going!
[Cut to the entranceway, with Ray Albright's voice over once again.]
Ray: The following contest is the second match in our double main event, and is scheduled for one fall. It is for the Unified World Title!
[The crowd erupts at this announcement.]
Ray: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, he weighs in at 195 pounds. Making his way to the ring led by World Women's Champion Black Widow, here is World Cruiserweight Champion, Angel of Death!
[The opening beats of "Angel of Death" by Slayer test the subwoofers in the arena as the house lights go dark. A single white spotlight focuses on the entranceway, where Angel of Death stands, his head bowed, his shoulder length hair fallen in his face, and his arms outstretched ever so slightly, palms raised in a sign of benevolence. On the screen, a picture of the statue that stands between Angel of Death's parent's graves is shown, looking very much like AOD, in the same position. His wife and valet Black Widow steps from backstage, dressed in a long black dress with a web motif, carrying his sledgehammer. She puts her hand lightly on his shoulder, and he flips his head up, sending his hair back behind him, and they make their way to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope as she climbs the ringsteps. He holds the ropes open for her, and she quickly climbs into the ring. They stand in the center of the ring, united, as shots of red pyro shoot from the corners of the ring, and from either side of the entranceway.]
Ray: His opponent, from St. Alban's, New York, he weighs in at 230 pounds. Making his way to the ring, here is the World Heavyweight Champion, "The Extreme Franchise" Tyrone Walker!
[Suddenly then the house lights dim down and red, orange, blue and green smoke starts to rise up around the entrance way on the stage. Insane Clown Posse�s "Fuck the World" then erupts over the PA and just as it does, the boos blow the roof off the building. As the fans continue to boo, the curtain parts and onto the stage steps Walker wearing a New York Mets jersey with Walker #24 on the back. He slowly makes his way down the steps towards the ring bathed in cheers keeping his eyes on his opponent in the ring all the way.]
Main Event #2, Unified World Title Match: Angel of Death vs. "The Extreme Franchise" Tyrone Walker
Jimmy: As Tyrone Walker approaches the ring, AOD takes a run, diving between the ropes, tope suicida catching Walker hard on the outside! AOD straddling the World Heavyweight Champion now, driving his fists into Walker's face. Walker pushes him off, and slides into the ring. AOD is right behind him, climbing the ropes on the outside. Walker turns, missile dropkick! AOD is determined to be the first Unified World Champion! Walker rolls out of the way of a kneedrop, and quickly gets back to his feet. Walker bounds up to the top rope as AOD gets to his feet, hurricarana! Walker takes AOD down for the first time in this match! AOD rolls away from Walker, and kips up! Walker and AOD rushing to the middle of the ring now, AOD with an armdrag. Walker comes back, as does AOD. Walker with an armdrag! Both men rushing in again, AOD kicking Walker in the midsection. AOD with a quick DDT! Walker is dazed! AOD picking up Walker, whip to the ropes. Reversal, irish whip to the corner. AOD hits hard, and flips out of the ring!
[Walker jogs to the ring as AOD gets to his feet. Walker springboards over the ropes to the ring apron, then off the ring apron with a flying headscissors on AOD. AOD rolls, and is back on his feet quickly. Walker runs in, but meets a superkick from AOD, who climbs into the ring right afterwards. Walker gets up, groggy from the superkick, and slides back into the ring to an awaiting Angel of Death.]
Jimmy: These men are determined to win this match! Walker counters the rush by AOD with a tilt-a-whirl side slam. He hooks the leg! (One, Two, Kickout!) Walker grabs AOD by the head, yanking him to his feet. Short-arm DDT! AOD blocks it, and hits a Northern Lights suplex! (One, Two, Kickout!) AOD gets to his feet first, and boots Walker in the head.

He raises AOD to a standing position, and hits him with a Snap DDT. Walker on the top rope again, moonsault! AOD moved! Walker is down and hurt after that missed high risk move. AOD climbing the ropes this time, he's waiting for something. Walker gets to his feet, he's on rubber legs. Walker turns to face AOD. AOD with a corkscrew hurricarana!

This has got to be it! The cover! (One, TWO, THREE!!!!!!!!)
[Fireworks go off in the arena as Tyrone Walker's hand is raised in victory. Stephen Greer runs to the ring from the back to celebrate with his tag team partner. The referee hands Tyrone Walker the Unified World Title, and Greer puts it around Walker's waist. The pair continue to celebrate as we fade to the credits.]
