Outstanding Outing In Ottawa


LAST WEEK :

Gutter Rat: I know who she is, Jimmy.. I know everything. Now.. You've got a choice.

Jimmy Pez: A.. choice?

[Jimmy's voice is slightly higher than usual. Gutter Rat pauses, lowering his head and staring Uncle Jimmy right in the eyes..]

Jimmy Pez: I'll.. I'll tell him. I'll tell them all.

Gutter Rat: Time isn't on your side, old man.. Get it done, and get it done now.

[ To the ring, and the ending of Hysteria last week... ]

[Pez latches his gold-ringed hand around the microphone, brings it to his mouth and stares at both Leandro and Gutter Rat. He can tell behind that leather mask, the sinful, twisted mind of the Rat Bastard is enjoying every damn second of this. The Beast's mountainous body heaves, as he stares down on his fallen manager.. Awaiting the life-changing sentence, he will surely utter.. As the last seconds tick away, Jimmy speaks into the mic with a shaky but damn well honest voice..]

Jimmy Pez: You've.. You've got a daughter, Leandro.

[The scarred face of Leandro stares blankly into Jimmy's unshaven face. The shock hits him like a freight train, and the deafening roars from the crowd almost seem muted in the ears of The Beast. Unblinking.. Unchanging. He just stares those deep, bloodshot eyes and lets his mind hang in the limbo of shock. Gutter Rat nods his head, the world knowing those lips are curling into a sick smile, behind that masked face. Our announcers are speechless, utterly shocked at what has just been announced.. The last image we see is The Legacy Champion's face and vacant eyes.. The eyes of The Beast.. The face of a father.]

To the Right, Tempest, the 4-Towers Champion, and Standing tall in the center Leandro, the NLR Legacy Champion, All three grip their belts over their right shoulders and pose for the camera, showing at this time, the best three men in the NLR in their divisions at this moment.. ]

Bang....

[ CEO Marcus Anderson looking as uppity as only he can on one side, and "Big" Ed Johnson on the other, looking at him not amused... Then Jimmy Pez walks in between them, and as Anderson just stares at the screen, Pez pushes Johnson completely off screen taking his place... ]

BOOM!!!!

[ And in the background, barely audible, is Andersons voice... ]

CEO Marcus Anderson: "Suspended until Further Notice"...


NLR, as you may have noticed, is not your normal wrestling show...
We�re like...
Shakespeare with a strap-on...
So that�s they way you like it!

NLR 24/7


[ We now take you to the ring, where the action is already set to take place... ]

Jackie Frazier: This match is schedueled for one fall, and is for the NLR Four Tower's Title! Introducing first, Standing at 6' 0'', weighing in at 240 pounds.. LSD!

[LSD bounces out onto the stage, as 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen hits the PA system. As he struts down the ramp, he slaps hands with the fans, he rolls into the ring, as Frazier introduces the next wrestler..] Jackie Frazier: Next, standing also at 6' 0'', and weighing in at 245 pounds.. Jason Payne!

[Jason walks down the ramp, as 'Sober' by Tool plays in the background, and rolls into the ring.. and goes to work right away with LSD, with hard right hands. The similarly sized wrestlers go back and forth, with Payne whipping LSD into the ropes, but he gets tripped up by Tempest, who ran down the ramp when the brawling began! He slides into the ring, and tosses Payne to the mat with a scoop slam, but turns around into a snap suplex from LSD!]

JP: Tempest didn't even get introduced!

Sully: All three men in this match are the same size.. It should be interesting to see how they adapt..

[Tempest pries himself off the mat, and the three men all circle eachother warily.. Tempest starts things off by clotheslining LSD to the mat, but then turns around into a boot to the stomach by Jason Payne! He slaps him in the side of the head, and attempts to drive him face first into the mat with the 'Affliction Theory'! Tempest drops him to the mat with a Flat Liner, and goes to lock in a Figure Four, but LSD dropkicks him in the back, sending him to the mat face first!]

JP: Two close calls there!

Sully: Sheesh, this is too action packed for me!

[LSD drags the dazed Payne to his feet, picks him up into the air.. and drops him head first into the mat! He grins to the crowd, picking him up for a second brainbuster, then dropping him onto the top rope, sending him falling to the outside! Tempest comes up behind him and German Suplexes him to the mat! The crowd boos as he drags him up a second time, germaning him to the mat again!]

JP: We could see a hat trick!

Sully: LSD is in a bad way!

JP: Not nearly as bad as Jason Payne!

[As Tempest releases high on the third suplex, sending LSD soaring through the air and to the mat face first, the camera cuts to a scene of Jason Payne lieing on the padded concrete with no clue what's going on inside the ring. Tempest is in the ring, dominating LSD with various holds. He drags him to his feet, kicks him in the midsection, and goes for the Epicentre, but LSD says no, and spears him! LSD now is in control, dragging him to his feet, and throwing him off the ropes! Tempest comes hard into a flying forearm! LSD covers without hooking the leg.. 1... 2... The entire crowd goes 'OH!' as he kicks out!]

JP: If he hooked the leg, he would've had him!

Sully: Sheesh, LSD is taking it to Tempest!

[He picks Tempest up, and drops him with a STO variation. He hooks the leg.. 1.. 2... No! LSD holds his head in his hands, unable to comprehend that the Four Towers Champion kicked out of that move! Payne slides into the ring, taunting to the crowd, who starts a 'Payne Sucks!' chant! Payne drops LSD with the 'Affliction Theory, and laughs mercissely, dragging him to his feet a second time and driving him back into the mat!]

JP: Payne has got this one! LSD is done!

Sully: Don't be too sure, yet..

[Tempest takes his chance, and whips Payne off the ropes.. Tempest gets down on his stomach, letting Payne jump over him, who comes back into a HARD Arm Drag! Payne hits hard, and bounces off the mat and to the ropes, halfway across the ring!]

JP: They heard that one in wherever the hell that Payne fellow comes from!

Sully: Look out! It's LSD!

[LSD flies into Tempest with a flying forearm! The crowd goes nuts as LSD's desperation move paid off! Tempest holds his head as he climbs up to one knee, as LSD kicks the hell out of him with a Dropkick to the side of the face! Tempest has no idea where he is, but LSD can't seem to get up.. Infact it's Jason Payne who's up first, and he stuffs Tempest between his legs, and tries to Power Bomb him to the mat, but LSD hits him with a spear, sending him to the outside, and Tempest flopping to the mat face first! The ref is with Tempest, asking him if he can continue.. Outside the ring, The Grudge has jumped the steel barrier, and nails The Grudge Killer on Payne, landing him on the stairs!]

JP: Holy shit!

Sully: That must've killed Jason Payne!

[Inside the ring, Tempest has recovered, and low blows LSD.. then drives him into the mat with the Epicentre! Grudge cheers him on as he locks in the Ankle lock, then grapevines it, as LSD slowly drags himself twords the ropes, crying in pain as Tempest continues to add pressure to the ankle, before tweaking it a little too far, and snapping the ankle, causing him to tap out, as he shouts in pain. Tempest releases the hold, as LSD rolls away, sobbing while holding his ankle.]

Frazier: The winner, as a result of submission.. Tempest!

[It goes to commercial as LSD is getting helped out of the arena, and Jason Payne is loaded onto a strecher.]

NLR 24/7


JP: Folks, Welcome back, I'm being told we've gotta cut backstage..

[Suddenly, the camera switches instantly to backstage, inside the office of the General Manager. The sheepish face of Jimmy Pez paces inside his office, glancing towards the camera as he does.. The screen zooms back and we actually see what he is constantly glancing at. The crowd jump to their feet, and a wave of cheers echoes around the arena, as the scarred face of our Legacy Champion almost takes over the entire screen. His massive frame hunched over in a leather armchair, inside Pez's office, Leandro looks deep in thought.. His eyes not focusing on anything in particular, glassy and vacant, as they stare towards the ground. Pez looks as though he's about to say something, but stops himself.. ]

JP: Ladies and Gentlemen, I was not aware of this! The Legacy Champion is here tonight in Canada!!

Sully: I still can't believe what we heard last week, JP! This animal, this unforgiving monster is.. is.. A father?

JP: That's right, Sully..

Sully: Well, I dont know about you, but personally.. I'd be more comfortable leaving Michael Jackson as the babysitter for my kids, before this damn maniac!!

[Finally, Jimmy stops pacing and turns to face The Beast, mustering up the courage to speak..]

Jimmy Pez: We will find her, big guy.. We will find her..

[Leandro doesn't move. The crowd begin a distinct "Leandro! Leandro!" chant, but El Mexicano Condena doesn't notice.. Its as though his five senses are numb, almost gone. Leandro lets his dark, soulless eyes stare into nothing, ignoring Jimmy Pez's words..]

Jimmy Pez: I know it's not what you wanna hear.. But this is gonna take some time. I have children too, you know this, big fella.. And if I didn't know where they were, I would try as hard as possible to find---

[The last words out of Jimmy Pez's mouth are choked, and become nothing but splutters and gasps. He stares into the bloodshot, crazed and very much alive eyes of Leandro, only inches from his face. The Beast holds Pez against the wall, his two huge tattooed arms easily keeping the small manager off the ground. He struggles against Leandro, but knows its of no use.. Silently, The Legacy Champion speaks through his eyes.. No one has any idea what hes going through, and no one is going to stand between this animal and his child. No one. ]

Jimmy Pez: Stop.. Please..

[He gasps only two words out, before Leandro drops the small body of Jimmy Pez to the ground. Under other circumstances, Pez would instantly suspend anyone who dared to touch him like this.. But these aren't those circumstances, and Leandro isn't just anyone. The Beast heaves back into the chair, and rests his head in those hard-knuckled hands. Across the room, Jimmy catches his breath, and stares at his client.. At his Champion. The camera fades to black.]

NLR 24/7


[ Backstage, in a non-descript locker room, Gutter Rat is sitting near his locker, taping his wrists with a blank expression on his face. The door bursts open, and Bobby and Myles Knight run in.]

Bobby Knight: Fank Youz for 'da pwesents....

[ In Mexico... Once Upon A Time... Gutter Rat had gotten the kids both a little something... Bobby had gotten some maracas, noise makers, that had reminded Gutter Rat of little Bobby... Small, noisy, always on the go... What the hell, at least the kid would drive nuts with the rattling things... Myles had gotten a book as old as Leandros anger... 101 uses for Rattlesnake... Troy hadn't been amused at either gift really, but the fact that Gutter Rat was being civil in a federation where the only rule was to "screw your adversaries" out of the spotlight to make room for you, was an enigma in it's own, so Troy hadn't said anything... Myles signed a thank you, and Gutter Rat had only nodded and continued to wrap his wrists...]

Bobby Knight: Come On Mylez, Letz let him be, Kyle Bow-er iz heer, an I wunt to go fin him and say hi!

[ Myles signs something really quickly, after reading Bobbys lips, and what ever it was, Bobby is taken aback by this. He looks at Myles with his head tilted to the side. Shrugging, he walks over, and sits by the door, shaking the maracas that Gutter Rat had now wished the kid had left at home... Bobby looks less than pleased at having to wait Gutter Rat adjusts his mask a bit, so Myles can read his lips... ]

Gutter Rat: What do you want?

[ Myles signs, but Gutter Rat, still a novice, has to make him slow down several times before bobby blurts out... ]

Bobby Knight: He sayed two be cairful arownd dat gurl...

Gutter Rat: Around WHAT girl?

Bobby Knight: Don' be Stoopid!!! You like dat girlz frum lasted weak... Iz she gunna be yur gurlfriend?

Gutter Rat: Look kids, Johnson just told me to watch her while he's gone... I had to save her ass last week, AND the week before and I'll probably need to save her ass this week too... My talent is being wasted here, fighting guys like Panther, or like this Bones McCoy... Besides, the crazy Bitch maced me... She's lucky I got a "Soft-Spot" for dames...

[ Myles smiles with a devilish grin, and flashes his hands to Bobby who says... ]

Bobby Knight: Mylez sayz moor like a Hard...

Gutter Rat: ENOUGH!!! Now get out of here, I gotta get ready to work...

[ A quarter of the Chicago-Posse leave the room, laughing as they go... Gutter Rat sits on the bench, just finishing taping his trunk-like arms, and turns to the burlap sack behind him... He pulls out a copy of the new NLR Magazine being debuted, on the cover is Sinn with the words "Hottest Diva In Wrestling"... He starts to thumb through the magazine, talking to himself... ]

Gutter Rat: Pfft... Girlfriend... I oughta just curb the bitch against the ring-steps for all the trouble she's been... Flaunting around here, looking like some starlet out of a movie... With those eyes... And that body, and those legs.... Girl like that's bound to cause all kinds of trouble for herself... And can I help it if McCoy is one of those "Navy Guys"... I mean, Christ, where was he last week while she was gettin double-teamed by Kronik? Fucking guy... It's ok Sinn...

[ Gutter Rat begins stroking one of the pics from the inside of the magazine... Giving us ALL that creepy creepy feeling... ]

Gutter Rat: I gotcher back... Whether you want me to... Or not....

[ The phone rings... And the Rat Bastard answers... ]

Gutter Rat: Johnson?? The cemetery? Promo shoot? Now?? But I got a match in just a few... Fine...

[ He grabs his bag, and heads out the locker door... ]


HcW is supposed to be hardcore....
Our only question is...
How hard exactly do you have to be to join a bunch of pussies?

NLR 24/7


[ "Attack" by 30 Seconds to Mars blasts on the speakers with half the crowd booing and the other half cheering as they know that the resident mouth of the NLR, Kyle Bauer is soon to appear... Attention is drawn to the top of the Entrance Ramp, under the tron, as we see �The King Of Extreme� Kyle Bauer emerge from under and stands for the crowd... As he walks down toward the ring the screen shows clips from his previous bouts, especially highlighting his finishing moves... He reaches the steps and walks to the top and stops to play the crowd again... Once again, half of the crowd cheers and the other half boos. Bauer steps through the ropes and leans back into a corner to await the arrival of Panther... ]

JP: Both Bauer and Panther are pretty evenly matched, and this is a Standard Rules Match, so I expect to see quite a bit of real wrestling action.

Jackie Frazier: From St. Louis, MO, standing in at 5'4" and weighing 175 lbs , He is Kyle Bauer!!!

[ Then Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N Roses hits the speakers as we see The Panther arrive... Most of the crowd cheers him, but a few are booing... He walks down the ramp toward the ring and slides under the bottom rope, and the ref quickly checks him for weapons... ]

JP: As I said earlier, both men are equally matched and this should be a fine example of great wrestling moves. It�s all gonna come down to who can out-wrestle and out-maneuver his opponent.

Sully: Well, I�m going to stick my neck out and give the nod to Bauer... He seems to have lost a step as of late, but he's always been known to be a team player... I think he wants to save some face here, and I doubt he�s gonna let a rube like The Panther get in his way...

Jackie Frazier: From British Colombia, Canada, standing in at 5�6�, and weighing 165 lbs, its �The Panther" !!!

[ The referee calls the two wrestlers to the middle of the ring and lays down the law, then calls for the bell and this match is underway... Both men shake hands then back up a few steps and the referee signals for the action to begin... They lock up and it�s a shoving match with the advantage going back and forth. Finally Panther gets an upper hand and backs Bauer into the ropes... The ref calls for a clean break, and Panther breaks cleanly. Both men lock up again and this time it�s Kyle with the upper hand as he backs The Panther into the corner... The referee again calls for a clean break and once again there is a clean break, as the fans begin to goan mercilessly... ]

JP: It would appear that the natives are restless this evening!

[ Panther comes out of the corner only to be hit with a nice Arm Drag by Bauer... He's quickly to his feet, only to have another Arm Drag executed by Kyle... Panther quickly to his feet again and as Kyle goes for a third, Panther steps out of the way and Kyle Bauer misses... The Panther takes advantage of the miss by hitting a Spinning Cartwheel Kick just as Bauer gets to his feet... He slides out of the ring and starts walking around ringside to gain his bearings... The ref begins the count-out, at the four count, Bauer climbs the ring steps and walks along the ring apron... Finally, at the seven count, Panther runs over to drag him into the ring, but Bauer leaps over the top rope, grabbing Panther about the waist, flips him on his back, rolls him up for the pin�
1...
2...
TH... Panther just manages to get a shoulder up in time... The ref holds two fingers in the air to show it was only a two count and not a three count... Bauer turns to take it to him again, but gets a kick to the midsection by Panther... Bauer doubled over from the kick and The Fastest Man In The NLR hits a nicely executed Swinging DDT, then rolls Bauer over for the pin... The ref drops for the count...�
1...
2...
And Bauer kicks out... Both men to their feet and circling each other, as the crowd begins to get into the contest... ]

JP: This has been a legal and fairly wrestled match... Both wrestlers have taken quick advantage of their opponent by trying to get a quick pin... The referee is doing his best and has been dropping quickly for the pin, but it�s still too early to gain a pin by either wrestler.

[ Panther lunges toward Bauer with an attempted Body Block and Bauer side-steps the lunge, and pushes Panther chest-first into the corner ladder... As Panther rebounds backward off the ladder, Bauer hits a Gut Wrench Suplex and goes for the pin...
1...
2...
Once again Panther gets a shoulder up... Bauer drags him to his feet and hits a Short Clothesline on him followed by a Chop Block... Panther goes down and Bauer locks in a Sleeper Hold in the middle of the ring. Panther valiantly fighting the Sleeper but he can�t seem to get to the ropes to break the hold. We see Panther drop to his knees with Kyle Bauer holding onto the Sleeper Hold tightly. Panther drops to his rear to the mat while Bauer leans over him from behind, tightening the Sleeper Hold... The ref checks the hold, and it is not a Choke, so he lets the match continue... We see Panther manage to get back to his knees, then to his feet while Bauer maintains the Sleeper Hold. Panther with an elbow to the head of Bauer... Then another... And another... And another... Finally Bauer releases the Sleeper Hold... He runs and rebounds off the ropes to attempt a knockdown to Panther but Panther side-steps the maneuver and pushes Bauer into the ropes. As Kyle rebounds off the ropes Panther goes for a Drop Kick but Kyle saw it coming and holds tightly to the ropes, causing Panther to miss the Drop Kick and land hard on his back, knocking the wind out of him... Bauer quickly goes up the ladder, and as Panther rises up, Bauer leaps and plants him with a Diving Tornado DDT that resounds throughout the arena... Bauer hooks the leg for the pin...

3!!! ]

JP: I told you it would come down to a Technical maneuver and who could pull off the better moves and take advantage of his opponent.

Jackie Frazier: You winner, by pinfall, Kyle Bauer!!

NLR 24/7


[The camera opens in the backstage area, where we find the Fastest Man in the NLR, The Panther, heading back to his locker. The small masked wrestler looks slightly recovered, loosening the chin strap on his leather mask, as he passes the slightly ajar door of the NLR General Manager.. Suddenly, The Panther stops in his tracks, and steps back a couple steps. He glances around the hallway, before peeking through the gap between the door and the wall. Without warning, the door is pulled back and Panther finds himself face to chest with the Legacy Champion himself, Leandro! The crowd cheer loudly for The Beast, and Panther tilts his head back to lock eyes with the Champ. The Fastest Man in the NLR takes a step back, holding up his hands in defense..]

The Panther: Easy there, big man.. I don't want any trouble.

[Leandro doesn't look impressed, as he stares down into the masked face of Panther. His bloodshot eyes survey those of the Panthers, wondering exactly why it is this kid felt the need to jump right into The Beast's business..]

The Panther: You know, I spent a lot of time working in the Mexican Wrestling Association.. And your name came up more than anyones. Every week I would hear a story about The Beast, something either in the ring or.. in the outside world. But it was always the same.. Leandro overcomes, Leandro defeats.. Leandro shows no mercy.

[El Mexicano Condena doesn't budge, doesn't seem moved by these words. The much younger face of Panther continues to look high up into the battle-scarred face of The Beast, talking confidently, and smiling..]

The Panther: Some inside the Mexican Wrestling Association even went as far as to say.. Leandro has no equal. But you know what, big guy? I disagreed with them all.

[The Panther's smile drops, as his voice suddenly becomes cruel. Edging closer towards Leandro, he speaks in almost a whisper..]

The Panther: Because El Mexicano Condena never had the honour of facing the quickest.. The most cunning.. Most agile wrestler to ever grace the ring.. Me. No, big man, you were only considered unequaled there because I wasn't around to prove size doesn't matter! But as fate would have it, here we are---

[Before Panther can finish his sentence, The Beast latches one massive claw around his throat and just launches him across the hall!! The Panther crashes into the cement, and drops to the ground. The arena crowd gets loud as Leandro steps out from the doorway, staring at The Panther quickly getting to his feet.. Leandro roars savagely, challenging The Panther to retaliate.. The much smaller man dives up at The Legacy Champion, but Leandro easily catches him in mid-air and just spears him to the cold floor! The fury is unleashed as punch after devastating punch is thrown into the masked face of Panther, Leandro not letting up, seemingly possessed by something deeper. The frustration of not being able to find his child could be the fuel.. Perhaps.]

Jimmy Pez: Jesus!! Lets get some help down here!!

[The face of Jimmy appears, and he instantly calls out for help.. He knows he has no chance of pulling Leandro off, and soon enough the security team rush into action. The Panther tries hard to shield his face, but the giant that is The Legacy Champion is way too overpowering.. Dozens of arms try desperately to pull The Beast off, and it takes a good twenty seconds until Leandro is up on his feet and swinging wildly at the security guards!! Half of them back against the walls, fearful for their own lives, but the other half tackle Leandro to the ground.. He lets out an animalistic roar, as they hold him down and call for medics to check on Panther. Jimmy Pez shouts for them to ease up on Leandro, as the camera fades to black..]

JP: The Legacy Champion like a Beast possessed, fans! Tearing into The Panther like I haven't seen Leandro do since the Pay-Per-View!

Sully: I guess curiosity did kill the cat, JP!! Hah!


They say that the head of WoC found the secret to saving his fed.
But then...
He had a couple of Guinness and forgot where he fucking put it.

NLR 24/7


[ The fans are buzzing about the events of Hysteria so far when Heart of a Champion by Carman begins to play on the speakers. The excitement builds to a fever-pitch as out steps Ragonus clad in jeans, NLR t-shirt, and his infamous trench coat. ]

Sully: The Excess Champion is here! What will our mysterious champ have to say?

[ Watching the fans cheer Ragonus smirks as he looks back and out steps his wife and manager Rachel Smit. Wearing a blue dress that goes down to her knees she carries the Excess Title belt with her as the two walk down the ramp together. Reaching the ring Ragonus holds the ropes open for Rachel before walking through himself. As his music dies down Ragonus grabs a microphone as Rachel wanders around the ring making sure all the fans get a good look at the title. ]

Ragonus: Normally I don't speak much but after the events of last week I am inspired. John Pariah won an intense match to earn a shot at the Excess Title.

[ Fans cheer at this as they know the title match will be even crazier. ]

Ragonus: True. But I have a problem. See Pariah seems like a great wrestler. A real talented grappler. But I am not a wrestler.

JP: Wait.......what?

Ragonus: I am a warrior. I come here not for glory or money but for the thrill of combat. Therefore my goals in NLR are not to merely win the Legacy Championship and have my peers call me "a legend". I want something that is greater and truly eternal.

[ Rachel finally finishes her showing of the belt and moves to stand beside Ragonus as he stares at the fans his gaze moving over each of them in turn. ]

Ragonus: John Pariah you are unfortunately just a wrestler. I seriously doubt you have what it takes to give me what I need. Spawn couldn't. Mobius couldn't. LSD and Kyle Bauer failed miserably. If you truly believe in your heart you are in a different class then them I give you my blessing.

[ Ragonus grabs the Excess Title and holds it in front of his face aiming towards the entrance ramp. ]

Ragonus: TO COME AND GET IT! MAKE US BOTH LIVE FOREVER PARIAH!

[ The fans go nuts at this prompting Ragonus to toss the mic outside of the ring. Helping Rachel out of the ring the two begin to leave the ring as his last words still echo in the arena... Suddenly the lights go off and "God Hates Us All" by Slayer begins to play over the pa system. ]

Sully: What the hell? Is there something wrong witht he lights?

JP: I don't know. I'm not getting anything about any technical problems. But I assume that if the electricity was out, then there wouldn't be music playing. Sully: Well what the hell then?

[ The lights come back on as noneother than "The God of Hardcore" Spawn. The crowd is silent for a second and then erupts with a HUGE pop for the returning star. ]

John: Oh my god, it's Spawn! It's Spawn!

Sully: I hate to sound like a mark but. Heeee'sss baaaacckkk!!

[ Spawn is wearing a "Viscious by Choice, Twisted by Nature" t-shirt ( by Swannie Designs) as he walks over to a nearby corner and steps up onto the second turnbuckle, holding his fist up for the crowd as he receives a huge pop. Spawn points to the shirt and then to himself as a very serious demeanor comes across his face before he steps down and then walks over and asks for a mic. The crowd begins to chant "Spawn! Spawn! Spawn!" over and over again before it dies down so that Spawn can speak. ]

Spawn: Well, it seems that you all have missed me while I was gone. I mean I don't see how you couldn't, with all of the half asses, half wits, and jobbers that have wander through the door since I have been on the shelf. Hell, it makes you almost thing that I was the bouncer around here, I mean with all of the pissants running around, claiming to be wrestlers and all. I guess it really is hard to find good help these days..

[ The crowd pops loudly. ]

Spawn: And the worst part is that I had to watch these punks while I was laying in a hospital bed, recouping from a bunch of wannbees, losers. and has beens tossing me 20 feet into the air onto a solid concrete slab. The only thing that I hate worse than being taken out by a bunch of lower tiered wrestlers is knwoing that they guy that was supposed to be watching my back fucked around and got himself FIRED! But anyways, here I am, sitting in a hospital beg when the news hits me that both of my bros Fear and Hate are both the shelf as well which means there aint nobody here, representing the Twisted Emotions brand who wasn't on the IL. So I pulled myself out of that bed, limped down the staris till I could walk, walked out othe hospital till I could run, and ran until I got to the airport, boarded a plane, and ehre the fuck I am. Back on the scene baby.

[ The crowd begins to chant "Welcome Back! Welcome Back!" as Spawn looks around and smiles to them before going back to being serious. ]

Spawn: Cause you see, the Twisted Emotions brand isn't just a group. it isn't just a faction. It isn't even JUST a saying, it's a way of life! A genre. A calling. You see this on my t-shirt? This shit is in my blood! The day that Fear came to me and offered me my spot, he didn't offer me untold riches. He didn't offer me titles or prestige or any of the crap that I already have anyway. And anybody who knows me knows that i don't need anybody watching my back. So I sure as hell didn't need that. But what he did offer me was just a place. A chance to believe in something. And believe me, even though my bros Fear and Hate have fallen, I'm right back here right now to pick the ball up and run over anybody in my path!

[ The crowd lets out a huge pop. ]

Spawn: Now I'm sure that anybody who knows me knows that I have some unfinished business around here. Rangonous! You have been walking around with MY title ever since you won it from me months back. You know, i remember talking with you back in the locker room one night and you asked me if I was going to challenge you for a rematch the title immediately. I said no, and you breathed a sigh of relief as if all of your troubles had drifted away. Well son, get ready. Cause next week, you will be wishing that you had that breath back as I choke the life out of you slowly and take back the title that is rightfully mine! And it's only the beginiing as the Twisted Emotions brand comes back with a venegence. And whether your like the taste or not, the TE brand is going ot be shoved down-your-throat!

[ The crowd erupts with a huge pop as "God Hates Us All" begins to play again and Spawn thows up the TE sign before turning and leaving the Champion in the ring, as the show cuts to commercial ]


If you�re ever in Amish country and you see Saint Xover with his arm buried in a horse�s ass.
Don�t be afraid.
He�s just pretending to be a mechanic.

NLR 24/7


[ �Numb� by Linkin Park hits and smoke begins to billow from the NLR entranceway, after a few seconds Mak and Sozzey of Kronik burst out from the smoke. Both men are sporting an MWF tag title each wrapped tightly around there waists. ]

Jackie Frazier: Introducing first, they are the former MWF Tag team champions, Mak and Sozzey, the team of Kronik.

[ Mak and Sozzey really give it to the crowd as they head to the ring, a guy at ringside throws his beer at Mak and Mak spits at him hitting him full force in the face. The man charges at Mak who lets security do there job and walks off with a grin on his face as the fan is dragged away from ringside. Mak and Sozzey stand in front of the ring and knock fists before sliding into the ring under the bottom rope and going to pose on opposite corner ladders with the MWF titles.]

JP: These guys can�t bring those in here, those aren�t NLR titles.

Sully: You go tell them that, as far as I�m concerned those two can do whatever they want.

[ Suddenly �Numb� fades out and �Larger than life� by the backstreet boys hits to a rather sizeable pop. Pink strobe lights come on and after a few seconds Troy Boy appears standing centre of the entrance ramp with one huge white strobe light illuminating him, after a few more seconds the extremely sultry figure of Sinnocence appears behind Troy. Sinnocence steps around Troy and walks to the ring, Troy walks out of his spotlight and follows her to ringside. Mak and Sozzey stand tall in the ring and hold up there MWF tag titles as Sinn and Troy slide into the ring together. ]

Jackie Frazier: And there opponents, introducing first hailing from Chicago Illinois, Troy Knight. And his partner, hailing from Albany New York, she is Sinnocence.

[ Troy Boy and Sinn get a huge pop from the NLR crowd and Kronik raise there tag team titles in response but the crowd boo them heavily chanting �N � L �R, N � L � R�� at the former MWF champs. Mak and Sozzey seem to see this as a sign of disrespect and they begin to jaw with some members of the crowd. The ref goes to take the title off of Sozzey and put it at ringside but Sozzey pushes him away and the ref lands on his backside in the centre of the ring, Sozzey takes Mak�s title and places both of them under a corner ladder, the crowd is all over Kronik once more and a few fans try to spit at Mak and Sozzey. ]

JP: That is no way to treat an NLR official.

Sully: Well you go do something about it then, go on I need a good laugh.

[ Suddenly Sinn walks up to the huge form of Sozzey and slaps him full force across the face for being such a jerk to the ref. Sozzey looks taken back by what Sinn did and as she walks to her corner and steps outside onto the apron Sozzey runs forward with a low animal growl, Troy moves quick and uses Sozzey�s own momentum to take Sozzey down with a beautiful drop toe hold. The ref tells Mak to get out of the ring and the bell rings for this match to start. ]

JP: Well it looks like that bully Sozzey just got some of his own medicine.

Sully: Oh yay now lets go play kick ball, this is the NLR, and there are no bullies just winners and losers. You and that Ref are prime examples of losers.

JP: Oh go to hell.

Sully: Why should I go to WOC?

JP: Agreed, I wouldn�t wish that on anyone.

[ Sozzey drags himself up and looks over at the smiling Troy and he charges forward looking to completely squash Troy into oblivion, Troy is to quick though and he hits Sozzey in the jaw with a short elbow to the chin, Sozzey reels back stunned once again and Troy runs forward and hooks him up before leaping up and hitting a beautifully fluid tornado DDT. Troy is up quick and in a low martial arts style pose looking for the interference from Mak but it does not come and Troy decides to kick the prone figure of Sozzey in the head a few times. Troy drags Sozzey to his feet and whips him into his corner before walking over and tagging Sinn, Troy sets Sozzey up in a front face lock and lifts him up a little before Sinn vaults over the top and adds extra impact to the sit down face plant slam by landing a legrop on Sozzey�s back as he hits the mat. As Troy exits the ring Sinn slaps Sozzey across the face a few times and dares him to get up, Sinn stands to the side of Sozzey now and measures him as he begins to stand, before reaching out with full extension and hitting Sozzey with a sidekick to the temple. Sozzey tumbles to the mat like a pile of bricks and Sinn poses quickly for the crowd. ]

JP: Great teamwork by Troy and Sinn have seen them on top so far but don�t underestimate Kronik, they can turn a tag match at the drop of a hat.

Sully: They are slippery customers all right. There is a lot of tag experience in Kronik and they will cut off the ring.

[ As Sinn measures Sozzey once more he begins to crawl to his corner, Sinn realises he is heading for his corner and she walks after him to stop him, Sozzey thinks quickly and grabs Sinn by her top and in a desperate move throws her through the ropes to the outside in the Kronik corner. Troy looks on in concern as Sozzey drags himself up on the ref and Mak goes down to ringside to look at Sinn, Troy decides to play a part and begins to walk to the Kronik corner. Sozzey pushes the ref so he can see Troy heading to the Kronik corner and the ref admonishes Troy and sends him back, while the ref is busy with Troy Mak picks up one of the MWF tag titles and hits a just recovering Sinn right in the forehead with it. Sinn hits the ringside mats hard and she looks almost unconscious as Mak throws away the MWF tag title and rolls her back into the ring. ]

JP: Oh come on, how could he miss that, Sinn had the upper hand but now she will have to fight just to survive.

[ The ref looks over and sees the dazed looking Sinn on the mat; he didn�t see anything and as such can do nothing, Sozzey walks over to Mak and tags him in. Sozzey drags Sinn up by her hair and whips her into the ropes, moving forward he catches her on the rebound in a bear hug type manoeuvre as Mak comes over the top and clotheslines her down into a Kronik style double team spinebuster. Both Mak and Sozzey spring up from the impact and pose for the crowd to a huge chorus of boos and even a few thrown cans and cups from the crowd. As the ref checks on Sinn, Sozzey walks over to Troy�s corner and lays a vicious slap onto his face before walking off to his own corner, Troy moves through the ropes and makes to attack Sozzey but the ref steps in and sends Troy back to his corner. ]

JP: Some one-upmanship from Kronik now as Sozzey returns the favour Sinn paid to him at the start of the match.

[ Mak is quick and vicious now as he drags Sinn to her feet and lifts her into a bear hug, Sinn cries out in pain and Mak grins as he tightens his grip on the much smaller Sinnocence. Fighting for her very life Sinn begins to gouge the eyes of Mak and he lets go of her to save his eyes, Mak doesn�t waste time though as he snapmares Sinn over and lays into the back of her head with a vicious seated dropkick to the back of the head. Sinn rolls forward and lays out flat on the mat Mak gets to his feet once more. Mak drags Sinn up once more and after taunting her for a second he kicks her in the gut, Sinn doubles over and Mak begins to lay into her with a stiff series of slaps and chops to the head. Suddenly Mak lays in a vicious slap that makes Sinn cry out and she fires back with a straight left hand, Mak looks angry and a little stunned as he fires back with a left that Sinn blocks, quickly Sinn kicks Mak in the gut and places her long leg over the back of the neck of Mak before dropping to the mat driving Mak face first into the mat. ]

JP: Great move there, almost a modified fameasser and now Sinn has a chance to get back on an even footing with Mak.

Sully: No doubt that was desperation but right now it is looking like desperation is her last and best hope.

[ Both Sinn and Mak are down now, Sozzey and Troy are both begging for the tag but neither of there partners are stirring as the ref begins to count 1 � 2 � 3 � 4, suddenly Sinn rolls over onto Mak and the ref slides into position...
1...
2...
3...
No!!! Mak managed to kick out just before the ref could count three; Troy is living on a knife edge through Sinn right now and the same goes for Sozzey through Mak. Sinn and Mak are still both down but Sinn has begun crawling to her corner, Sinn is mere fingertips away from Troy and the hot tag now but suddenly Sozzey steps into the ring and runs across hitting a big boot to the back of the head of Sinn. Troy tries to enter the ring but the ref pushes him out as Sozzey leaves the ring and Mak staggers to his feet. Mak drags Sinn up by her hair and whips her once more into the Kronik corner of the ring, The staggering Mak tags in Sozzey, Mak hooks Sinn up in a front face lock and lifts her up quickly but somehow she manages to wrap her legs around Sozzey�s head and flip both men over in a great double attack move spiking both men�s heads into the mat. Mak, Sozzey and Sinn are all down now, the ref pushes the illegal Mak out of the ring and onto the ring apron as Sinn begins the long crawl to her own corner... ]

Sully: C�mon girl, you can do it make the tag.

JP: Oh this is bad for Kronik.

[ The crowd is deafening now and Sozzey is getting up as Sinn and Troy are still a few centimetres apart from making the tag, suddenly as Sozzey gets to his feet completely Sinn surges forward and tags in Troy who vaults over the top rope and into Sozzey with a vicious Asian throat spike. Mak charges at Troy now but Troy kips up and spins around to hit Mak in the back of the head with a sweet looking martial arts spinkick as Mak runs past him, Sozzey hits the ground hard and Troy watches as Mak begins to stand up clutching at his throat. Suddenly Troy seizes on the moment and runs up the corner ladder, Troy launches himself backwards in a moonsault type flip but as he flips over Mak�s head he catches him with a seated extension dropkick to the jaw and even grabs Mak�s head as he goes over to pull him onto an amazing pinfall attempt. 1..
2...
Sozzey runs at Troy and Mak to break the pinfall but Sinn flies out of nowhere and knocks Sozzey absolutely loopy with a front face lock bulldog and the ref counts the final�
3!!! ]

JP: Oh my god, what the hell was that?

Sully: That was freaking amazing is what that was, wow.

Jackie Frazier: Your winners of the match, the team of Sinnocence and Troy Knight.

[ After the "Immaculate Conception" Sinn and Troy stand and celebrate as �Larger than life� by the Backstreet boys hits, Sinn runs over to Troy and they hug in centre ring as the now recovered Sozzey drags Mak to the outside. The crowd is going insane for Troy and Sinnocence now and Sozzey and the groggy looking Mak are looking very upset at ringside. Suddenly Sozzey perks up considerably and he helps Mak to the entranceway. Suddenly Sozzey says something to the ref and the ref disappears behind the entranceway, �Larger than Life� fades out and �Numb� hits as Kronik pose on the NLR entranceway with the MWF tag titles. The crowd boo Kronik loudly and throw trash as Sinn and Troy watch on disgusted at Kronik�s actions. ]

NLR 24/7


JP: Folks, We just got word that there is a disturbance at the cemetery shoot involving Gutter Rat right now.... We're taking you there!!

Sully: No sign of G.R. has been seen since he left the building earlier at Johnsons request...

[ The camera makes its way to where a "Big" Ed Johnson stands beneath a massive yet naked tree... The sudden sound of thunder and a bright flash of lightning illuminates the area to reveal a long blood stain, with drag marks in the dirt towards the empty grave... Johnson spins, as there is another bright surge of lighning that fills the sky and the thunder roars as the camera shows the gravestone at the edge of the hole. The light on the camera is flipped on and the name on the grave stone of Gutter Rat can clearly be read... However the words upon it are not as would be expected....

Here Lies
Gutter Rat
Unknown - 09/18/2005
Liar...
Thief...
Fraud...
Fool...

The cameraman suddenly rushes forward and lying there, cold and motionless in the grave as a much brighter and louder flash of lightning fills the air and the wind picks up heavy enough to be hear beneath the microphone's wind screen is Gutter Rat with arms crossed over his chest and a dark black rose in atop their junction point...

Meanwhile, Johnson has walked over to the front of an old '76 ford Pickup, the front end, mashed, bloody, and pats it... We can hear him on the phone... ] "Big" Ed Johnson: It's done Sinn, yeah, you tell McCoy I lived up to my end... Now I expect you guys to get me back on the show... By ANY means neccessary...

[ And with another bright flash of lightning and a lound crack of thunder all transmission is suddenly lost.... ]


The PX Network...
Do we want to betray the Network that has been our bread and Butter?

JP: What the Hell?

Sully: Did we just witness?

JP: Not on TV....

Sully: Look at this!!!

[ Johnson walks back over to the site, and the look on his face as he relieves himself is priceless... He then grabs the shovel, and begins filling.... ]

JP: We gotta head for commercial... And thank God!!!

NLR 24/7


[ Just before the main event... Liberate by Disturbed begins to blast over the pa system as the fans from Canada begin to cheer wildly as only one man has that as his entrance music� The lights go dim and once more the crowd erupts into cheers as the White Haired Demon simply called Fear appears on stage sporting a brand new look. Instead of his mesh shirt and his leather pants, he is wearing a black trench coat with a solid grey t-shirt and black jeans underneath it�By his side as usual is his lovely wife Darla Price�

Right as the chorus to Liberate hits a huge explosion of pyro erupts at ringside illuminating the arena in a red glow as Fear begins walking down the ramp slapping the hands with a few of his fans as he finally reaches the ring he slides underneath the ropes and just smirks as he soaks in the cheers� ]

JP: NO WAY! He had us fooled�

Sully: The Demon Knight has returned a lot sooner then he had told fans earlier in the week! But my question is why has he returned so soon after suffering at the hands of Leandro?

Fear: Now look at who we have here! It�s the white haired demon knight! Looks like I�m back a little sooner then I had originally planned and for good reasons too� You see there seems to be a slight problem in the back with one Marcus Anderson giving some loser like Naz a shot at a title that rightfully I deserve the second crack at! Now I know that Naz must defeat little old Grudge for that honor and all but lets face facts here, Naz plus legacy title shot equals a pissed off demon knight hunting down one Marcus Anderson!

But all is not lost as we all know that I have a slight problem with Grudge and Leandro and that jerk off holding my four towers title Tempest! But two of you can wait and have fun �teaming� up together� LEANDRO I�M GUNNING FOR YOU BUDDY OLD PAL! You thought attacking me during my last match here would just make me go away, oh no Leandro it�s only pissed me off and yes you might be bigger then me and a little bit stronger then me but the saying is, never travel alone!

JP: What could he mean by that?

Sully: Maybe he meant Leandro should get some back up?

[ Suddenly �Darkness� by Disturbed begins to play and a man with white face paint and long black hair appears on stage. Fear just smirks as Darla claps as this giant of a man walks slowly down the ramp and as he reaches the ring hops up and places one leg over the ropes and enters that way. Fear looks at this man before shaking his hand as the crowd cheers�. ]

Fear: Allow me to introduce my personal �Problem Killer� RAGE!!! Now he doesn�t talk that much but let�s just say that actions well they speak a hell of a lot louder then words my friend and soon enough he�ll prove it! But for now Leandro, and Mr. Anderson rest easy knowing that I won�t touch you just yet� But please note should Naz win tonight, well Mr. Anderson you will find out first hand why you don�t piss off the white haired demon!

[ Liberate begins to play again as Fear slides out the ring as Rage walks over the ropes again as the cameras fade to the back� ]


We had a commercial portraying some of the members of Core...
But then, once again, they cried foul...
Matt Lanier for President? Hardly...
He's more like the one who left the white stain...

NLR 24/7


[ �Anarky� by Kmfdm welcomes us back from commercial and has the fans in a frenzy. The sold out Corel Center greet The Grudge with an uncharacteristically warm accolade. The Grudge walks out onto the stage and heads down the ramp to the ring, not slowing his pace for a second. The Grudge has an almost worried expression on his face, keeping his head down as he walks down the ramp. His eyes tell a story of deep thought. ]

JP: We�ve seen a different side of The Grudge these past few days Sully!

Sully: Ya, this is certainly not the Grudge we�ve all grown accustomed to.

JP: Well he�s stood up for the fan favorite Naz and his quest to return to the NLR after having been fired by NLR CEO Marcus Anderson.

Sully: It was a move that caught us all off guard and was more than uncharacteristic of him.

JP: I think he finds himself at a cross roads right now. He�s torn between his feelings and his career. Grudge idolizes Naz and has for quite some time. Marcus Anderson has put him in a position where he now has to make a choice that no one should be forced to make.

Sully: I don�t know, I�m still a little sketchy about all of this. Since when does The Grudge have a conscience?

JP: Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news Sullivan, but he is human after all!

Jackie Frazier: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! It is for the Next Level Revolution�s Legacy Championship number one contender�s spot. Weighing in at 6 foot 4, 235 pounds, hailing from Los Angeles, California, he is the Legacy Title number one contender. He is �The Homicidal Creep�; The Grudge.

[ The Grudge reaches the ring and heads directly to the corner. He leans back into one of the Towers and with his head just slightly lifted, The Grudge locks his eyes on the ramp. As the sounds of Kmfdm fade, there is a brief silence to build up the anticipation within the crowd. Moments later, Watergate�s �Heart of Asia� blasts throughout the arena, and the fans explode! ]

JP: The man of the moment here in the NLR folks!

Sully: He�s been making headlines to rival our Legacy Champion for the last few weeks and live here tonight, he gets the chance to return to the big leagues.

JP: He was exiled 13 days ago today, and on this unlucky numbered day, Naz has his last chance! Speaking of Naz, here he comes!

[ Naz slowly walks out onto the stage, his head down as well, paying not attention to the sold out crowd screaming his name. Naz pauses at the top of the ramp. He keeps his head down for a second, before throwing his arms into the air and letting out an invigorating yell. Naz then charges down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope, into the ring. Naz moves to the center of the ring, locking eyes with The Grudge. The two exchange a stare, saying more than words ever could. ]

Jackie Frazier: And in the ring now, weighing in at 5 foot 1, 195 pounds, hailing from New Delhi, India. The �Bengali Tiger�; Naz! If Naz wins this match, he will also earn himself an official Next Level Revolution contract, as per guaranteed by NLR CEO, Marcus Anderson.

JP: And it is now official! These two will duke it out for a shot at Leandro�s title and Naz�s spot here in the NLR!

[ The Grudge walks out of the corner and meets Naz in the center of the ring. The two lock gazes, but don�t say a single word to one and other. Naz extends his hand for a hand shake, never taking his eyes off of The Grudge. The Grudge pauses for a second, knowing that Naz�s hand is extended to him, but he too keeps his eyes fixated on the man in front of him. After much anticipation, The Grudge thrusts his hand forward and briefly, but firmly shakes Naz�s hand before throwing it down and stepping back. The Grudge tilts his neck on either side, cracking it in the process, and Naz nods his head, ready for action. ]

JP: Let�s get it on!

Sully: The wait is over, it�s make or break time!

[ Naz waits for the sound of the bell and jolts towards Grudge when he hears it. Like a sprinter off the line, Naz charges full speed at Grudge, who sees the attack coming and throws his boot into the air, driving his foot into Naz�s stomach. Naz doubles over and Grudge grabs hold of his head with both hands and then quickly jerks it backwards, throwing Naz down to the ground. A hesitant look comes across Grudge�s face as he steps away from Naz who is holding the back of his head, wincing in pain. ]

JP: Uh oh, The Grudge looking hesitant here.

Sully: Thank you Captain Obvious!

[ The Grudge shakes off the hesitation quickly and turns back to Naz, but turns right into a running lariat and gets knocked down to the mat. Naz however does not share that same hesitation, and jumps onto The Grudge quickly and starts rifling off hard right hands. The ref quickly comes over and tries to pry off of The Grudge but the intensity of Naz is threw the roof and he gets in a half dozen more shots before the ref manages to wrap his arm around Naz�s chest and pull him off, not without a throwing down a stiff kick on his way up. ]

Sully: Some thank you!

JP: What?

Sully: Naz sure knows how to show gratitude, doesn�t he? The Grudge comes out, sticks up for him, and then doesn�t even know if he�s willing to go through with this match, and THIS is how he gets thanked.

JP: Sullivan, you know as well as Grudge does that this means the world to Naz. Grudge shouldn�t have expected Naz to not bring an intensity of this level. He needs a contract and The Grudge is the only thing in his way.

[ The ref releases his grip on Naz, Naz quickly runs back to Grudge, who was almost back on his feet, and forces him into one of the corners with another fury of punches. Grudge posts up a defense by trying to block the punches with his arms, but to no avail. Once again the ref gets into Naz�s face trying to pull him apart. ]

JP: Naz has better watch himself, I understand the need for intensity here tonight, but he doesn�t want to get himself disqualified.

Sully: Get him out of there ref, come on do your job!

[ Before the ref is forced to pull apart Naz, the Grudge throws up his arms and grabs hold of Naz by the neck. Using his distinct size advantage, Grudge spins himself out of the corner and places Naz in his place. Grudge the cocks back and delivers a straight punch square to the middle of Naz�s face, busting his nose open! Blood starts pouring from Naz�s nose and the ref rushes over and scolds Grudge! ]

JP: This thing is erupting in to a street fight!

[ Naz�s eyes water and he is visibly trying to collect himself, but this time Grudge will not give him enough time to do so. Grudge takes a run towards Naz and once he reaches the corner throws up his knee and drives it into Naz�s chest. Nax bounces back onto the ladder and then out of the corner. He stumbles near the center of the ring. He doesn�t get far though, as Grudge reaches out grabbing Naz by the head once again, this time from behind. Grudge then sits himself down onto the mat, keeping a firm grip on Naz, thus slamming the back of his head down onto the mat. The Gurdge slips overtop of Naz and hooks his leg. ]

Sully: Busted nose and all, Naz is fading quick here!

JP: Hook of the leg �

[ The ref drops down � 1 � 2� no! Naz kicks out and pushes the Grudge off of his chest. Naz sits up and check the blood leaking from his nose, as he does so, The Grudge gets to his feet. Grudge walks over to Naz and pulls him to his feet. Grudge then pushes Naz against the ropes, but his attempt is reversed by Naz who whips himself around shifting the momentum and sending Grudge across the ring. The Grudge bounces off the ropes and comes back at Naz who jumps up into the air and hits a big missile drop kick onto Grudge, knocking him to the mat. Naz moves over to Grudge�s leg and locks him into a single leg boston crab. Grudge screams out in pain as Naz sits down onto Grudge�s back, firmly gripping his knee and lower quad. ]

JP: And just like that Naz has taken control of this match.

[ The ref checks on Grudge as he reaches out for the ropes but they are simply out of his reach. Grudge stretches out and is mere millimeters from the ropes when Naz repositions himself and drags Grudge to the center of the ring. A look of frustration and pain, combine across Grudge�s face before he screams loudly and extends his legs forcefully launching Naz off of his back, and half way across the ring. ]

Sully: Did you see that?

JP: An impressive display of strength from Grudge there! He isn�t the number one contender for no reason.

[ Grudge struggles to his knees, holding the attacked leg. Knowing what�s on the line, Naz waists little time, and gets right back on the attack, or at least he tries. Naz rushes Grudge again and bear hugs him, then tries to quickly throw the Grudge over his head, looking for a belly to back suplex, but Grudge�s size difference as well as ring awareness prove to be too much. Grudge grabs the top rope on his way up, which stops him from going anywhere. The ref moves over and tells Naz to break the hold, because Grudge has the ropes, but Naz, again, pays no attention and violently pulls Grudge backwards once again, catching him off guard this time, and succeeds in his suplex. As the Grudge gets lifted into the air his arms go up and accidentally hit the ref in the head, sending him flying as well. The Grudge lands hard on the back of his head on one side of the ring and the ref lands in a heap on the other. ]

Sully: Look at that cheater! Again he ignores the ref, and now he causes the Grudge to knock him down! He�s going to cheat his way into the NLR!

JP: The ref is down, anything goes now!

[ Naz is a little disoriented, the match taking its tolls, but he manages to stagger to his feet with the aid of the ropes, surveying the damage. Suddenly, the sounds of �Natural Life� come blasting through the arena and everyone in attendance shifts their attention from the ring to the stage, instinctively booing in the process. Seconds later Marcus Anderson walks out in front of the crowd looking infuriated. He has a mic in hand and as he walks down the ramp he address Naz who stares a hole through Anderson with the rage burning in his eyes. ]

Marcus Anderson: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on just a minute here. Naz if you think that I will stand by and watch as you cheat your way to an NLR contract and a Legacy Title number one contenders spot, you�ve got another thing coming.

[ Anderson reaches the bottom of the ramp and stares up at Naz from the outside. Naz looks back at him from inside the ring, still overwhelmed with hatred. The ref has started to stir as well, confused with what�s going on, he too needs to take a second to reassess the situation, but something is amiss. ]

Marcus Anderson: When will you�re ridiculously under-developed brain, wrap it�s self around the concept that you are not going to win this battle? I am the puppet master around here and people like you work for me! You make me money, you work when I tell you to work and you endure what ever hellish things I put you through! You weren�t content with simply going away when you know damn well that I had justifiable means to fire your ass! Instead you put up this big fuss and pull a temper tantrum like a two year old.

[ The crowd is now almost drowning out Anderson�s voice with their jeers directed at the NLR�s CEO. He isn�t phased though and continues his rip into Naz. ]

Marcus Anderson: I will give you credit though, you have found that fire that I was looking for. I see in you now shades of what I sought when I first brought you to the NLR. There is only one problem now though; I don�t know how long you�ll keep it up. So that means that, I�m going to make it my personal goal to fuel that fire of yours Naz! I�m going to personally make sure that the rage seeping from your every orifice right now, continues to pour until you�ve got nothing left!

[ Naz stands in the ring looking about ready to leap over the ropes and rip into Marcus Anderson, but before he does, Anderson continues. ]

Marcus Anderson: This is far from over for you Naz! You wanted to make my life miserable by pestering me for the last few weeks, well now it�s pay back time. Because like I said, if you thought you could fuck with me and get away with it, you�ve got another thing coming! That �other� thing .. . is standing right behind you!

[ Naz�s angered expression is taken over by a look of confusion. Naz turns around to see what in the hell Anderson is talking about only to be met with a thunderous chair shot to the skull! Naz�s forehead explodes red, matching his nose, and he drops like a sac of bricks to the mat below. Blood quickly flows onto the canvas as we then see the chair tossed to the mat beside Naz and then Naz getting pulled to his feet, by The Grudge! Marcus Anderson is now making his way into the ring, with a huge grin on his face, with the ref looking on in confusion. He has no choice but to call for the bell, disqualifying The Grudge for his use of the chair. Anderson snarls an angry look at his direction, but returns his attention back to the Grudge as he watches Naz get hoisted above Grudge�s head. Anderons smiles a sadistic smile as he watches Grudge send Naz freefalling to the mat only to quickly spin it into a devastating Grudge Killer, onto the steel chair! ]

JP: What the hell is going on?

Sully: I TOLD YOU!

[ Naz�s face collides with the chair and he stays down in a heap, not moving. The crowd is going ballistic at this point, showering The Grudge and Marcus Anderson with jeers. The two men stand over the motionless Naz with contempt. ]

Jackie Frazier: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match by disqualification, and NEW number one cont- �

[ Marcus Anderson realizes what Jackie is about to say and cuts her off before she can finish the announcement. ]

Marcus Anderson: Thank you Mrs. Frazier, but that�s quite enough out of you tonight!

[ Marcus Anderson receives a loud �ASS HOLE� chant for his interruption, but he pays no attention to it. ]

Marcus Anderson: Naz, congratulations, you won the match! As promised you earned yourself a legitimate contract here in the Next Level Revolution! However, I regret to inform you that because you won this match via disqualification, I cannot in good conscience forfeit to you, our good friend Grudge�s number one contender�s spot! It�s like winning a title match kiddo, if you win by DQ, you don�t get the title!

[ Grudge laughs and yells out inaudible profanities to the crowd as he listens to Marcus Anderson defend his title shot. ]

Marcus Anderson: Welcome back Naz, you�ll wish you hadn�t � I�ll make damn sure of that!

[ Marcus throws his mic down to the ground and the sounds of �Anarky� by Kmfdm come on throughout the arena. The Grudge moves overtop of Naz and stares down at him sadistically. Marcus Anderson then grabs hold of his hand and raises his arm into the air. Grudge keeps his eyes fixated on Naz, who still hasn�t moved. ]

JP: This is disgusting! It was all a diabolical set up by that dastardly Marcus Anderson!

Sully: I think you need to lay off the Batman John, it�s getting a little out of hand.

JP: The Grudge played Naz for a fool. Sticking up for him, putting himself on the line, it was all a ruse!

Sully: And a brilliantly executed one at that!

JP: There is no need for this, Naz has not merited this kind of treatment. Sully: Well that�s your opinion and you can keep it for yourself. As for the rest of us, we will relish in watching our show end in style! With Naz out like a light and our next Legacy Champions with his arms raised and title shot intact!

JP: Highway robbery I tell you, it�s highway robbery!

Sully: For Sir Whines-A-Lot, I�m Sully, this is the NLR, have a great week! Good Night!

[ Fade to black for another week. ]
