(The sound of the crowd fades in as we see the N.E.W. Logo...And "Duality" by Slipknot begins to play in the background....The cameras pan around the crowds and eventually focus in on the commentators...)

Jason Barrett: Hello again everyone and welcome back to Monday Night Slam Dance....I am "Lean Mean" Jason Barrett along with "Too Hung" Brian Johnson, and the always "Sexy" Sara Anne....And tonight its going to be quite crazy....Lately N.E.W.'s roster has been growing by leaps and bounds, partially thanks to the exposure gained by joining with the National Wrestling Alliance, and also by being ranked # 16 so far on X-Net's top 100 federations...and gaining every day. The problem exists because we have so many matches tonight, that for the first time in a great while, we had more action than we could fit into our time slot...so earlier tonight we had several matches infront of the crowds here at the Verizon Center....And now we'll share some of the highlights with you at home....The first match this evening was the returning Vice President of N.E.W. taking on the returning anti-authority figure Chris Evans....

(The scene cuts to show Harley Clarkson and Chris Evans in the ring circling....They lockup and Harley puts Evans into a hammerlock....Harley seems to be talking to Evans, and whatever he's saying isn't making Evans any happier....Evans with a reversal into a hammer lock.....Harley seems to chuckle slightly, wincing as Evans wrenches on the hold.....Harley with a quick drop toehold takes Evans down as Harley floats over into a front facelock....Evans fights to his feet only to be met with Harley spinning into an inverted neckbreaker.....We cut to later in the match....Evans has the upper hand, he pushes Harley into the corner and gives him a hard knife edge chop...Harley reels, and he's met with another.....Harley has had enough as he reaches out and pulls Evans into the corner and gives him a chop himself....Evans reels now as Harley backs up and Evans stumbles into a BELLY TO BELLY that sends him across the ring.....Fade to later in the match....Evans with a dropkick that sends Harley into the ropes....Evans whips Harley across the ring and as he comes back, Evans bends over for a back body drop, but Harley grabs his head on the way by and nails the 3/4 turn neckbreaker! He then climbs ontop of Evans and begins punching away! He takes full advantage of the 5 count given him by Joe Diamond.....Afterwhich he rolls ontop of Evans....One....Two....Three.....Harley wins his first match back.)

Brian: Evans let me down on that one....His mouth wrote checks his ass counldn't afford.... Jason: Maybe so...But the following match was slightly more out of the ordinary as the new TV Champ Predator faced off against a man who's yet to get a foot hold in N.E.W.....Genesis....

(Scene cuts to earlier in the night....)

Jack Darling: Introducing first, from Houston, Texas. He is your current NEW Television Champion, and DWO member, he is PREDATOR!

(The light's cut off abruptly leaving the arena in total darkness for a couple seconds, and then a white light appears on the ramp. It's a single spotlight shining in the middle of the curtain. Smoke begins to fan out from under the curtain and all along the ramp. A mist like fog is created around the entrance. Suddenly the lights start flashing quickly and "Numb" by Linkin Park begins blaring over the PA.)

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes

(The smoke begins to rise up, covering the entire entrance, all the while the music playing and the fans know by now who's coming out.)

caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow
every step that I take is another mistake to you
caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow

(Red pyro's shoot off as the song goes into the chorus, and a figure begins to rise up out of the smoke.)

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

(The music suddenly slows down, as if being dragged across the pavement. Predator has his back to the crowd. He's wearing a black trench coat, with long blonde hair streaming down the back of it. That's all you can see of Predator, as the rest of it is clothed in black. Predator throws his hands into the air, and more pyro's shoot off, and the music returns to normal hitting the verse right on time.)

can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought I would be
has fallen apart right in front of you

caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow
every step that I take is another mistake to you
caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow
and every second I waste is more than I can take

(A plethora of pyro's, in all different sizes and colors, fire off as the Predator throws his hands to his side and begins make his way hastily down the ramp. Predator's logo appears on the NEWtron...

(Predator doesn't pay attention to the crowd, he just continues to make his way down to the ring.)

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

(Predator makes his way into the ring, and stands in the middle of it. The lights are still flashing, leaving Predator and the crowd in the dark more often than not. The song begins to pick up in tempo, and the lights follow....)

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

(...as the last word of the last verse hits the speakers Predator throws his hands up once again, sending off another plethora of pyro's. The song begins to fade out. Predator lets his trench coat fall from his shoulders and catches it right before it hits the ground. As soon as the trench coat falls from his shoulders you catch another glimpse of Predator's new look. He's wearing a pair of black and red wrestling tights. Down the left leg, the red leg, is "Predator" written in italic black letters. Down the right leg, the black leg, is "Drop Shot" written in italic red letters. Predator is wearing a black shirt with a picture of himself on the front, and the word's "I'M FINISHED" in white letters across the back. This time there is a new piece added to his attire, and it's the NEW Television Title strapped to his waist. Predator tosses his trench coat over the top rope, but he leaves the title on. Diamond Joe looks sideways at him, but doesn't say anything. Predator doesn't even look at Diamond Joe, he just takes his place in the corner to await the entrance of Genesis.)

Jack Darling: Introducing next, he is the challenger, he weighs in at 234 pounds, and stands 6' tall. He is GENESIS!

(With a sudden bright flash, the lights in the building go out, and "Stranger In A Strange Land" by Iron Maiden begins to play. After about ten seconds into the song, the lights come back up.)

Jason: Well, it looks like Genesis isn't going to show up this week.

(The people begin to murmur about what might be going on, but a hush fills the crowd as a good sized man steps out of the curtain with what appears to be Genesis across his right shoulder.)

Brain: Never mind, there he is. And we were worried he wasn't going to show up this week!

(Sara see's the man holding Genesis and her eyes shoot up in interest.)

Sara: Forget about Genesis, I'd like to know who the guy is holding him.

Jason: You and me both.

(It's hard to make out what the man looks like with Genesis lying across his shoulder, but he seems to be in pretty good shape because he handles Genesis with ease. The man flashes a toothy grin at the crowd, and makes his way down the ramp. As he's on his way to the ring people try to reach out and shake his hands, but get a look of contempt instead.)

Jason: I don't know who the guy is, but he doesn't seem to like the fans to much.

Sara: I could change his mind about not that!

Brian: I'm sure you could.

(The man reaches the ring and rolls Genesis in easily. When he rolls Genesis in the ring, you get a clear look at him. The man stands about six foot five and appears to weigh about two hundred and seventy five pounds. He is wearing a plain red t-shirt with the word "Hellrazor" across the front and a pair of black wind pants and matching shoes. The man enters the ring and grabs a handful of hair. He drags Genesis into the middle of the ring and walks over to stand beside Predator and Diamond Joe. Predator walks over and sticks his foot in the center of Genesis chest, and then looks at Diamond Joe.)

Jason: Looks like these two want Diamond Joe to make the three count, but he doesn't look like he wants to.

Brian: With those two in there, I don't think he has a choice. I don't know about the other guy, but we know what Predator is capable of.

(Diamond Joe is uncertain on what to do, but this new mystery man makes his mind up quickly as he nudges him in the back, towards Predator and Genesis. Diamond Joe gets down and begins to make the count, and fans begin booing and throwing trash towards the ring. Most of the trash falls short though, and this leaves Predator and this new man with great big smiles on their faces. Diamond Joe lays down the three count, and then scampers from the ring. Predator motions for a mic, and when one is tossed up to him, he offers it to the mystery man, but the mystery man pulls one out of his back pocket. Predator shrugs his shoulders and sticks his mic into his own back pocket.)

Mystery man: It's been a long time. It's been a real long time. In fact, it's been so long I don't know if you people even remember who I am. Some of you may, some of you may not. In the end, you will all not only recognize me, but fear me as well. For those of you who have no clue who I am, my name is Kevin Kirkland. "Hellrazor" Kevin Kirkland. This chump right here....

(Points to Genesis, who is still lying on the floor)

Kirkland: ....is just an example. You haven't seen shit yet. But in the near future you will. I'm not here to waste your time, or blow smoke up your ass. But for you punks in the locker room, if you're not with me, you're against me, and that's the wrong side to be on. When it's all said and done, when the dust settles, there will be two men on top of the pile, and you're looking at them.

(Kirkland and Predator raise both of their hands in victory, as if they won a championship of some sort.)

Kirkland: That's right, if you have a problem with this man, you have a problem with me. We are the official Hellrazors. Get used to us, because you will see a lot of us.....and usually you will be lying on your back looking up when you see me. It's been a while, but I am FAR from washed up. I'm not going to come in here demanding a title shot, but when I do kick your ass, deadman, don't be surprised. I'm through wasting time. My climb to the top starts now, AND THERE AIN'T A DAMN THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!

(Kirkland drops the mic and stares into the camera for a second. After that he flashes a brief smile, but it is one that never touches his eyes. Without another word said, he and Predator exit the ring and head to the locker room.)

Jason: Well, I'm not sure what that means, but it doesn't look good for the rest of NEW.

Brain: Yea, and he called Deadman out. I wonder what he's going to have to say about that!

Sara: I might just have to catch up with him later, and find out just what he meant.

Brian: Yea, you do that.

Jason: Anyways, on to our next match.

(The scene cuts back to the announcers...)

SaraAnne: I couldn't believe my eyes, Hellrazor is back in NEW? How did that happen??

Jason: As if that match being out of the ordinary wasn't enough, the following match didn't exactly follow the normal protocal either, as Hero and Symon Tyrell faced off....

(The scene cuts to the match already in progress....Hero has Symon Tyrell down on the mat and is delivering some hard kicks, Symon having taken the brunt of the match so far....Then from the far side of the ring another character slides into the ring, and wanders towards Hero....Beth motions to look behind him and Hero does so...He sees the stranger and starts asking him questions...The stranger doesn't say a word, but merely attempts to get passed Hero....Hero stands in his way...only to be met with a hard shove into the referee...The referee calls the match on account of disqualification and names Hero the winner.....But no one seems to notice as the Stranger slides behind the now recovering Nightstalker, and spins him around into a huge brainbuster....Hero returns again, and the stranger stands up to face him....But as he does, Reegan Beth and Nancy begin to climb into the ring, and he thinks better of it and falls backwards out of the ring....casually making his way back through the crowd....The scene cuts back to the Announcers....)

Jason: Now at the time we had no idea who that man was, but we soon after found out that he is Joshua Jousma, former wrestler among the NeWA ranks......We haven't a clue as to why he's here in NEW...Or if he's even signed to wrestle...but we will keep you posted as we know.

Brian: I think he simply saved us from a completely boring match....

Jason: The next match was supposed to be Prince Muhammed versus The Strip, but due to some problems with the airlines, Prince Muhammed couldn't make it....So the front office scrambled to find a replacement, and the match was then changed to be The Strip versus a kid named Billy Braxx....Then the unthinkable happened....The Strip never came out for his entrance, and the match was awarded to Billy Braxx....

Brian: The Strip as stupid as ever, throws away a sure win....

Jason: Maybe so....But now we are going to show you the words Death Jester shared before his match against The Omen....

(Jester walks past Pat Green and stops a moment. A tonka dumptruck in hand, and the NeWa Cruiserweight title over his shoulder....... )

Jester: Time to go change a mans future and make him my personal plaything. Do you have any questions or adoring comments to make to my perfectness?

( Jester throws his hands out to show his entire out stretched body covered head to toe in green and purple felt to the camera. )

Pat Green: Are you not taking Omens interference at Rebirth a little too personally? Certainly you expected something after what you did the week before to him.

( Jester looks up as if he's completely prepared for the answer. A slight grin crawls across his face. )

Jester: Well of course I expected something. But not something basicly insufferably stupid. A shovel? The guys like four of me or something and he feels he needs to weild a weapon against a little wrestler who just worked a long freaking match?

Pat Green: I guess I can see your point. But..

(Jester intercepts the mic before she can continue. )

Jester: You just ran out of time, I need to get down to business. Theres a moron getting ready to meet his master somewhere in this building and its time David killed himself another Goliath. Excuse me, I need to get truck'n.

(Jester pushes past the crew and heads to ringside. )

Jason: From the begining the match progressed normally....Omen barely able to get a hand on Jester, and Jester not being able to phase the big man much....That was until the following happened....

(From out of nowhere, newcomer Rad Brad slides into the ring...In his hand is a plastic shovel...Without hesitation he busts it right over Omen's head and slides back out of the ring....The shot doesn't phase Omen, but it gets his attention....The Omen turns his attention from Death Jester and focuses on Rad Brad outside the ring....Rad Brad taunts Omen, and it does the job as Omen climbs out of the ring and hops down onto the ground.....Before he can get far, Jester reaches over the top rope, having untied the wrapping from his wrist, and begins choaking out The OMen.....The referee begins the five count, and in the meantime Rad Brad feverishly grabs some cables from near the ring and ties them around Omen's leg, effectivly attaching him to the ring for the moment.....Jester breaks the hold before the five count and the referee repremands him....Rad Brad, delivering kicks to Omen, backs off the moment the ref comes towards him. The ref begins the ten count as Omen begins struggling first to his feet after the choaking, and then to figure out how to get his leg free....By the time he begins to untie himself, the ref is already to seven, and he is soon counted out.....The referee calls for the bell and announces Death Jester as the winner....Death Jester celebrates in the ring, but quickly slides out as The Omen releases himself and gets into the ring.....The scene cuts back to the announcers....)

Jason: Now if that wasn't enough for you, there was more...Lets see what happened AFTER the match....

(The scene cuts back to earlier in the night...)

SaraAnne: Oh God, what now?

Brian: Speaking of God, here comes those religious freaks Justice Inc!

(Hero and Reegan run down and stand on the apron. Omen begins walking toward them when Nancy runs in the from the side with a chair. Omen stops her though by wrapping his hand around her throat.)

Jason: He's going to chokeslam Nancy right here right now.

Brian: And Hero and Reegan are begging him not to but they aren't getting in the ring? Why?

Sara Anne: That's why! THat hag Beth is sneaking in!

(Beth enters the ring behind Omen. She has a large glass platter in her hand. She sneals up behind Omen as he picks Nancy up in the air.)

Jason: DO SOMETHING!!!!

(Beth smashes the platter over his head and he falls to the ground as does Nancy. Reegan and Hero enter the ring and begin holding him. Beth checks on Nancy, who is holding her throat, and demands a microphone. She gets it.)

Beth: We came down here for one reason. We said that Omen was just a tool used by Satan and we would not allow him to stop us and taking that mask off was step one in destroying him. And tonight that is what we're going to do. We're going to take that mask. And after we get through with Omen and then move on to trying to help Simon Tyrell find a new direction in life. We're going to move on and show DWO and the Horsmen the way and the truth. And show them what Justice Inc and teams are all about. DWO and Horsemen look out. Justice Inc. is coming. But tonight, Omen, your mask is coming off.

(Beth drops the mic as Nancy gets up and runs over to help Hero and Reegan hold Omen up so Beth can try to get the mask off. Beth walks over and has a big smile on her face. She gets the mask and begins pulling, when Omen comes to life and begins kicking. He gets lose and rolls out of the ring. He then runs to the back while adjusting his mask. The crowd boos not being able to get his mask off.)

Jason: That was close. We almost saw his face.

Sara Anne: They have made it a top goal.

Brian: Think it was to close for Omen.

(The four memebers of Justice Inc give looks of disappointment for not being able to get the mask off. )

Jason:This crowd loves Hero and all of Justice Inc! Listen to them!!!

Crowd: JUSTICE INC! JUSTICE INC! JUSTICE INC!

(The scene cuts to the present...)

Jack Darling: And in tonight's Penultimate event. Coming to the ring first, from Suffolk, Virginia � Blackbird 13.

("Angel Boy" plays as Blackbird 13 steps through the entryway, to a mixed crowd reaction. Nightfall by his side, they walk down the ramp and Blackbird gets into the ring.)

Jack Darling: His opponent, from parts unknown, the NEW International Champion � Harbinger.

("Light My Way" starts to play, the arena goes dark. The NEWtron plays a video of a blue sky. Then a few thunder noises. Slowly the sky turns grey. The words "The Storm of change has arrived" come onto the screen. White lights flash throughout the arena. Harbinger makes his way to the ramp and the spotlights shine on him for a few seconds before everything turning dark again. While his song is playing, sounds of rain, thunder and wind can be heard.)

Sara Anne: Old versus new in the N*E*W � I think Harbinger is about to take another step in the right direction.

Brian: I think Blackbird is going to show him that, unlike a racehorse, a few years only makes you better.

(The bell rings)

Jason: Blackbird and Harbinger lock up. Harbinger with a go behind. Headlock by Harbinger. Blackbird pushes him to the ropes. Shoulderblock by Blackbird � Harbinger down. Elbowdrop by Blackbird � rear chinlock.

Sara Anne: Good action by these two � the rookie and the veteran Blackbird.

Jason: Blackbird is really wrenching it in. Harbinger trying to break Blackbird's locked fingers beneath his chin, he can't do it Blackbird wrenching back, turning it into a Camel Clutch. Harbinger grabs the ropes � break called by Diamond Joe.

Brian: This match may be moving too fast for that arrogant punk Harbinger.

Jason: The two circle the ring, Harbinger working out his neck. He stops but Blackbird keeps coming. Harbinger shoots on him, single leg takedown. Harbinger kicking at Blackbird's hamstring, turning the ankle. Blackbird rolls onto his stomach to counteract the ankle lock. He rolls forward, throwing Harbinger off him.

Sara Anne: Looks like Harbinger can match move for move, let's see how he is for strategy.

Jason: Both men are up

Brian: This has been wild so far, no man getting the upper hand.

Jason: Harbinger off the ropes, Blackbird off the ropes, criss crossing. Harbinger drops to his stomach, pops up, clothesline Harbinger. Blackbird getting up � dropkick to the back of his head. Harbinger up, pulling at Blackbird's head � SNAP SUPLEX!

Sara Anne: A one count for Harbinger.

Jason: Harbinger pulls Blackbird up � LOW BLOW! Harbinger doubled over. European uppercut by Blackbird. harbinger falls against the ropes � KICK to the stomach by Blackbird. harbinger shot across the ring � Back elbow to the jaw. Harbinger is down.

Brian: Blackbird is showing that age comes before beauty in NEW � actually, age and beauty, looking at how ugly Harby is.

Jason: Blackbird grabs at his head, no hair, he grabs his neck instead. Harbinger's head between Blackbird's legs � he has Harbinger up for a pile--- no, Harbinger wriggles out. Three quick knees to the face of Harbinger, he's down to one knee. Blackbird pulls him up � DDT BY BLACBKBIRD.

Sara Anne: A quick two count.

Jason: Harbinger is looking a bit woozy from all the head shots. Blackbird backs Harbinger into the corner � CHOP! Harbinger reels. CHOP!

Sara Anne: Blackbird's winding up for the third.

Jason: Harbinger ducks behind Blackbird � GERMAN SUPLEX and he's holding on - RELEASE GERMAN � Blackbird lands hard on his neck. Harbinger stumbles over to the corner, resting for a moment, clearing his head.

Sara Anne: What a battle this is!

Jason: Both men across the ring from one another, charge in � Blackbird with the whip to the ropes. Clothesline. Harbinger pops back up. Ducks the next clothesline. SUPERKICK HARBINGER!

Brian: Blackbird is in �.

Jason: Blackbird bounces off the ropes. Clothesline by Harbinger. Harbinger to the second rope � ELBOW DROP.

Sara Anne: Go Harby!

Jason: . Pin attempt.

Brian: ONLY TWO COUNT!

Jason: Blackbird getting up, shoots Harbinger of the ropes. Dropkick. Harbinger down. KNEE DROP.

Sara Anne: Ohhhhhh.

Jason: He pulls Harbinger up, Snap suplex. He holds on � second suplex. Ready for the third

Brian: Goodnight Har-Bing

Jason: SMALL PACKAGE by Harbinger.

Sara Anne: One count.

Jason: Reverse by Blackbird.

Brian: One count.

Jason: Reverse by Harbinger.

Sara Anne: Two count.

Jason: Blackbird rolls back over. One, two

Brian: Rolls one more time....ONE...TWO...THREE!!...Harbinger won it!!

SaraAnne: No way! Blackbird won it!!

(The Referee moves over to talk to Jack Darling....)

Jack Darling: The referee has called his match a NO CONTEST due to BOTH men's shoulder's being down....This match is a DRAW....And still your International Champion...Harbinger!!!

Jason: Neither man is happy about that!

Brian: It just happens sometimes.....Too often it seems...

SaraAnne: That just means theres very balanced talent in N.E.W.

Brian: Balanced alright, they all suck....

Jack Darling: Laaaaaadies and Gentlemen, our next match features the North Eastern Champion and Joseph W. Rival III. So get on your feet!

(Crowd stands and erupts)

Jack Darling: First, standing 6�1 and weighing 217lbs, he is the FORMER Xtreme and Tag Champion, he is JOSEPH W. RIVAL the THIRD!!!

(�Here to stay� by KoRn plays over the speaker system. The crowd cheers but Rival does not come out. The music continues to play and Darling looks around confused. The music stops and Darling puts his hand to his ear, listening to instructions from the back.)

Jason: What the hell is going on here exactly?

Brian: Is Rival stuck cleaning the toilets still? Ha!

Darling: Weighing 290lbs and standing 6�7, he is a member of the Horsemen and the North Eastern Champion, he is�.Thanatos!!!

(�Breadfan� by Metallica plays as Thanatos comes out.)

Jason: Wait a minute, what the�.Joey Rival is in front of Thanatos and is carrying something, dropping something on the ramp?

Brian: Ha! He�s carrying a basket of rose pedals, and dropping them on the ground Thanatos walks on! This is just like Coming to America with Eddie Murphy!

Jason: It�s a vulgar display of power is what it is! Thanatos has a HUGE ego and its getting larger by the second! We may need two arenas, one for Slamdance, one for his ego!

Brian: Well, he is Thanatos after all!

Jason: And�?

Sara Anne: Thanatos black boots crushing the rose pedals with each step! They enter the ring and Rival sets the basket down and�.Thanatos just kicked Rival in the rear!

Jason: Joey raises a fist but Thanatos shakes his head! Do the slave rules apply to matches?

Brian: I don�t know.

(The bell rings).

Jason: Thanatos kicks Joey and flips him into the ropes!

Brian: Thanatos all over Joey with kicks and punches! Joey falls down and Thanatos hits him with the GATES to HADES!!! Monster clothesline and it could be over now! HE knocked his head off like a bowling ball!

Jason: Rival on the mat and Thanatos stomps on him! Thanatos backing off now, leaning against the ropes, cocky as ever! Rival gets up and Thanatos goes for another clothesline BUT Rival does an armdrag! Thanatos gets up and looks stunned and Rival hits a dropkick!

Sara Anne: Rival with a suplex and he covers Thanatos but he kicks out quickly! Rival is showing that last week was no fluke! That he can hang with the Horsemen! Rival hits a modified belly to belly suplex and Thanatos rolls out of the ring!

Brian: Rival looks like he�s going to jump over the ropes, but he does not! Thanatos circles the ring and hops up on the apron! He stands on the apron and Rival motions for him to enter the ring!! Thanatos is laughing!!

Jason: And the crowd is loving it! Thanatos steps into the ring and Rival is all OVER HIM!! This is pent up aggression for a week of cleaning toilets! Rival with devastating double axe handle blows to the back of Thanatos! He whips Thanatos into the ropes and hits a forearm shiver!

Brian: Thanatos has been knocked off his feet! The big man is down! Rival motions for him to get up and he does! That Rival! Who does he think he is?

Jason: Thanatos up and Rival hits a flying forearm! Thanatos is knocked into the corner and Rival knees him in the mid-section! Thanatos is sucking wind and Rival sets him up on the top rope! Rival climbs up and OH MY!!! SUPERPLEX!!!!!!!!!

Sara Anne: They just landed in a mess of humanity in the center of the ring! They are just laying there and the ref starts the count. The ref is continuing his count and they are both barely moving! Rival now drapes in arm over Thanatos but Thanatos shrugs it off!

Jason: Thanatos gets up and hits Rival with a POWERBOMB! But he�s not covering Rival! He wants him to get up. He waits in the corner and finally Rival is up. Rival is up and Thanatos grabs him for the Purgatory! He lifts him up and slams him down to the mat! It�s academic! One, two, three it�s over!

Jack Darling: And your winner, Thanatos!

Jason: What a great match!

Sara: This next one should be a good one too....

(We cut to a commercial break....When we return Deadman and Knox are in the ring, and the bell has barely rung...)

Jason: Knox swings and misses with a punch as Deadman ducks underneath. Deadman then turns and is met with a strong right hand to the jaw from Knox. Knox then turns and whips Deadman to the back end of the ring. As he comes off the ropes, Knox catches him in a front waistlock and then picks him up into a bear hug and then slams him down to the mat as the crowd responds. Knox is back up on his feet quickly as Dead rolls onto all fours. Knox grabs him by the head as he pulls him onto his feet. He then blasts Dead with a series of solid rights to the head as he works him into the side ropes. Knox then pulls Dead from the ropes, turns and whips him across to the opposite side. As Dead comes back through, he ducks under a clothesline and then turns quickly as does Knox. Dead then lands a kick to the gut as he slips Knox into a front facelock and snaps him down with a DDT.

Sara: Nice DDT

Brian: Deadman with a great reversal right there

Jason: Dead has a hold of Knox by the hair as he slowly pulls himself and Carl back up off the mat. Dead then scoops Knox up and body slams him back down to the mat. Dead then heads for the front ropes and comes off in a very deliberate style as he drops down with an elbow drop, but misses as Knox rolls under the bottom ropes and drops to the ring apron as Dead holds his right elbow in pain. Knox is quickly back up as he uses the ropes to pull himself up on the ring apron as Dead slowly gets back up, holding his elbow in pain. Dead holds his right arm down as he walks towards the center of the ring and then turns as Knox slingshots himself over the top rope and takes Dead down with a flying forearm shot to the head. Knox then scrambles back after the impact and then hooks the right leg of Dead for the quick pin

Brian:1...2...no !

Sara: He kicked out of it! Almost took him by suprise.

Jason: Dead kicks out just in time as the crowd responds. Knox has a hold of Dead as he pulls him up to a knee and then drives him back to the mat with a forearm smash over the back of the neck. Knox grabs a hold of Dead by the back of the neck once more as he pulls him to a knee and again blasts him across the back of the head and neck with a forearm shot that pushes him back down to the mat. Knox then drops down and drives an elbow drop down onto the back of Dead's head as he rolls over in obvious pain as Knox then makes the lateral press for the pin

Sara: 1...2...no!

Brian: Deadman gets a shoulder up in time.

Sara: I thought that was it.

Jason: Knox is back up on his feet as he heads for the near corner and slowly climbs the turnbuckles as the crowd buzzes with each step up to the top rope. Dead is still holding the back of his neck as he slowly works up off the mat with Knox crouched on the top turnbuckle in the near corner. Dead works up off a knee and then turns as Knox flies off the top rope and hits a missile drop kick straight into the chest of Dead who is knocked down to the mat. Knox scrambles again and makes the cover.

Brian: 1...2...no!

Jason: Deadman kicks out just in time.

Brian: Jesus christ I wish some one would atleast make the pin.

Sara: Watch your mouth.

Brian: Well hell I am getting tired of making the count.

Jason: Knox works back up onto his feet and then motions for Dead to get up as he crawls to Knox and grabs him by the pants as he tries to work back up onto his feet. Knox grabs a hold of Dead as he helps pull him up and then drives a knee into his gut, and Dead drops to a knee. Knox then grabs Dead by the head as he slips his head between his legs and then slips him into a double underhook. Knox then whips Dead down to the mat near the front ropes with a Butterfly Suplex as the crowd responds. Knox rolls over and is pushing himself back up as Dead rolls over and pulls himself up across the middle rope as he comes to rest there. Knox then backs up to the middle of the ring and then comes in as he leaps up and then drops his full weight down across Dead's back as his throat is also driven across the ropes as he drops off of them and down to mat. Knox then grabs Dead by the ankles as he pulls him away from the ropes and then turns him over as he drops down and makes another cover.

Brian: 1...2...no!

Jason: Deadman again just kicks out in time.

Brian: You got to be f#@king kidding me!

Sara: Settle down this is a great match

Jason: Knox is back up as he looks down at Dead and shakes his head as he reaches down and then grabs an arm as he pulls Dead up and scoops him into a fireman's carry. As Knox turns to his right, Dead is able to free himself as he slides down behind Knox and lands on his feet and pushes him up against the turnbuckles. Dead then moves in as he hooks Knox with a rear waistlock, but has it broken quickly as Knox stuns him with a stiff back elbow to the head as Dead stumbles away in pain. Knox then nails Dead with a stiff knee to the back. After the strong knee, Knox waits for his oppenent to turn around. Knox grabs him, lifting like he's going for a spinebuster, but Dead reverses the spinebuster into a DDT. Dead pulls Knox back up to his feet and whips him into the corner, and follows him in. Dead picks up Knox and places him on the top turnbuckle, facing the crowd. From there he grabs Knox, and hits......

Sara: Full Nelson Slam!!!

Brian: That's gotta be it!

Smith: 1...2...3!!! Yeah!

Jason: Its all over! Impressive victory by Deadman.

Brian: What else did you expect, he IS the champ.

Jason: Even in defeat, Carl Knox proved that he deserves another shot at the gold down the line.

Jack Darling: Your winner, and stiiiilllll champion �.. (The microphone goes dead as the opening stanza of U2's "Elevation" starts to play. The arena lights fade and strengthen with the guitar.) "Yeah, yeah
Woooooo
Wooo ooooo
Woooo ooooo

Woooo oooo
Woooo oooo
Wooo ooooo

High, Higher than the sun"..

(The Jumbotron and all the monitors in the arena stop flashing, displaying only one name...)

THE STRIP

(He steps into the light.)

The Strip: Deadman, I'm not here to insult you and call you a paper champion or some other thing meant to incite you and turn the crowd against you.

The Strip: I'm just here to be given that which is rightfully mine, a match for your NEW title belt.There are those who will try to say that I am grandstanding and just some punk who doesn't deserve it, but I say differently. We had a match, at least for a few moments, before The DWO came and interrupted it. We never had a chance to find out if the rookie sensation could better the stoic and strongest champion NEW has ever known.

The Strip: But let me step out of my humility for a moment � Let me allow these fans to recall the most talked about matches I have been in. With your fellow Horseman, PAGAN � I put on the match of the night, the match of the year, the fans want to see ME, they want to pay their money in order to watch me strut down the ramp, they want to pay their money to see ME in the biggest matches � and this will be the biggest NEW match of the year, this will be bigger than Joey Rival, this will be bigger than Brett Logan, this will be bigger than the human yawn generator, Carl Knox, this will be the match people refuse to watch on broadcast television because they know they only want to watch the best and most influential commercial for the continuing survival of NEW, ME, THE STRIP. So, Deadman, I'll let you think before answering, before telling these people that you will face me LIVE on Pay-Per-View, this month. Moment's up � what say you, Brother Deadman?

Jason: OH MY! Strip has just made a challenge to Deadman...

Brian: He has some nerve coming out here right after his match and interrupting his victory celebration!

(Deadman smirks ever so slightly, rousing from the mat, subsequent to acquiring a victory over Carl Knox. He tents his eyes from the lights to see Strip standing their, waiting patiently for a response. Deadman extends his arm as Jack Darling hands him a microphone.)

Jason: What's he going to say here... is he going to accept?

Brian: Is that a rhetorical question, Jason?

(Deadman holds the microphone to his mouth and peers throughout the arena who is stirring for a response.)

Deadman: Why do you ask questions that you already know the answers to, Strip?

(Strip simply smiles.)

Deadman: You are asking merely for your very own annihilation... and I will see to it that His Prophecy is fulfilled. I accept!

(The crowd cheers as STRIP walks backwards. smiling and nodding)
