IN RING R- Manson attacks Schultz with the sledgehammer, driving it into his gut several times. Schultz rolls out of the ring, underneath the ropes. Manson then sits down on the mat cradling the sledge hammer, rocking it back and forth. He then gives it a kiss, but before he can stand up, Szatkowski kicks him in the back of the head. Manson falls over on top of his beloved "Mommy". Trash starts kicking and punching Szatkowski then sends him into the ropes. A back bodydrop later and Danny hits the mat. Without looking Trash falls back and delivers an elbow to the Sensations chest. Schultz crawls back into the ring, still clutching his gut. Manson staggers to his feet with "Mommy" clutched to his breast. Schultz charges and spears Manson, effectively knocking himself out as his head connected with the hammer. The force still knocks the wind out of Manson, sending him staggering backwards a few feet before falling on his backside. Trash, sensing opportunity tries for the field goal, and kicks Manson as hard as he can in the back of the head. Manson takes a little nap.

IN RING A- JP grabs Blackout and slams him back to the mat. Patrick climbs the top rope, sails through the air, and slams down upon the prone body of Blackout with a horrendous splash. Hearing the air escaping out of Blackout, a satisfied grin appears on the face of Patrick. Looking carefully to make sure Omega and High Roller are still out, Patrick applies the Legend Lock on Blackout, in an attempt to make it physically impossible for Blackout to climb a ladder. Screaming in pain, Blackout starts tapping out, although nobody is paying attention. When Patrick hears his screams die out and he is satisfied that Blackout is unconcious too, he releases the hold. JP sets up the ladder, climbs to the top and victoriously grabs a suitcase as High Roller and Omega get to their feet. Patrick descends the ladder, and as he walks over to leave the ring, he nails High Roller in the head with his suitcase, knocking the gambler back out. The Legend by Design glares at Omega, who tucks tail and jumps out of the ring.

Brad: The Legend grabs a suitcase! Will it be the pinnacle of his career or the end of it?

Doc: Thats right! He could have just grabbed his walking papers!

IN RING W- While Dirge was disposing of Bo and Micky, Korben rolled out of the ring and procured a chair. Unbeknownst to Dirge, Korben had also crawled under the ring and made his way to the other side, the side to Dirges back. Kahuna starts to get to his feet and Dirge decides to knock him off of his feet, courtesy of the ladder. Before he can make the ladder part of Kahuna's anatomy, Korben hauls back and hits Dirges back with a jarring force. The chair bends back slightly from the blow. That worked so well, that Korben treats Dirge to three more of them. Of course, the ladder drops to the mat, shortly before Dirge. Kahuna, snaps it up quickly. With unanticipated ferocity, Kahuna drops the ladder, continuously on the prone Dirge. Meanwhile, Bo and Micky crawl back into the ring. Bo, Micky, Kahuna and Korben all look at each other, then look at Dirge. The four of them smile, then proceed to stomp a monster size hole in Dirge. Once Dirge stops making any sort of movement whatsoever, they stop the assault. Bo, Micky, and Korben look at Dirge and admire their work. Kahuna however looks around to see what else is going on. His eyes widen as he notices that there is no one left in ring A, but there are two suitcases still dangling there. Without hesitation, he abandons his temporary partners and hauls ass toward the empty ring. Not really thinking about why he would leave, the three wrestlers still standing in ring W, count their blessings that there is one less guy to worry about. The sense of satisfaction over, the three start tearing into each other while Dirge remains motionless on the mat.

Brad: You don't see Dirge take a beating like that very often!!!

Doc: You NEVER see it if he is fighting only one person. Four on one, how unfair is that???

Brad: John Patrick is about to open his suitcase, let's take you back to Jessica Beach!

John snatches the proffered key from Vice and proceeds to open his suitcase. Inside he finds an envelope. He tears it open and reads the paper inside.

Jessica: Well?

JP: Number one contender. Title shot at next PPV.

Vice: Congratulations John.

Jessica: Any thoughts on being the first in line for a shot at whomever wins the belt later tonight??

JP: Jessica, this is perfect. Exactly what I was hoping for. I didn't want to win the World Title by picking some suitcase out of the air and then wrestling some half-dead idiot for it later. I want whoever it is to be fresh and at the top of his game so I can annihilate him in front of the whole world. At next months pay per view, I WILL win my tenth World Title. I don't care who the champion is. And once again I will show why I'm the Legend by Design.

Patrick crumples up the piece of paper, throws it to the floor and stalks off camera.

JOHN PATRICK: NUMBER ONE CONTENDER

IN RING F- Fury and Payne get to their feet and resume blasting each other with haymakers. Basic Killer uses the second rope to help himself back to a vertical base. Deciding to get back into the fracas, he slams a forearm into Fury's back. If Fury felt it, he gave no indication. Killer gives him another blow, with similar results. Getting frustrated, Killer positions himself behind Payne and nails him with a forearm. No reaction whatsoever is observed from Dominic. Having had enough of being ignored, Killer leaves the two behemoths to their fist fight, and leaves to acquire a weapon they will not ignore. Scanning the ringside area, he spots a chair. Before he can get it, Korben snatches it up and gets back into his ring. Cursing, Killer looks around some more and see's the time keepers bell. He sprints over to get it before anyone else gets the same idea. In the ring, Payne starts getting the edge over Fury. Staggering, Fury is treated to a big boot that sends him down like a fallen redwood tree. Payne grabs the busted ladder and brings it down upon Fury several times. With Paynes back to him, Killer, with bell in hand, slides under the bottom rope and enters the ring. The clumsy entrance, was a little too noisy and Dominic realizes someone is behind him. Whipping around, he swings the ladder out to meet his would be assailent. Killer's world turns red as the gash the ladder causes starts to bleed profusely. Dropping the bell, Killer dives out of this ring and does not return. He looks to see if there is a ring that is a little safer. Payne, aware that Fury is out and Killer is yellow, thinks about how he can get the damned suitcase above him. Looking at ring A, he notices that no one is there, but a ladder is.. He immediately makes his way to that ladder. Beating Kahuna to the ring, he grabs the ladder and returns to ring F to get the suitcase that he has been working so hard to get, ignoring the two suitcase's still dangling above ring A. Kahuna, starts getting very upset that his ladder just walked off without him and he follows Payne to take back his ladder. Payne wastes no time in getting the last golden suitcase from ring F since he didn't have to climb to many rungs. Seeing Kahuna charge the ring, Payne hands the ladder to him and wishes him good luck with the rest of the match. With ladder finally in hand, and no opponent near ring A, BK walks over to stake his claim to a dangling suitcase.

IN RING R- With Schultz and Manson unconscious and Danny incapacitated, Trash realizes there are no ladders around. He looks over to Ring A, sees Kahuna setting up a ladder with nobody there to stop him, so he quickly slides under the ropes, crosses the area between the rings, and slides into Ring A. Meanwhile Danny is slowly trying to recover and get his bearings.

IN RING A- As Kahuna is setting up the ladder, Trash slides into the ring behind him. Kahuna takes one step up the ladder when Barlow grabs him by the hair and rams his head into the one of the rungs. He repeats the maneuver a couple of times and then lets Kahuna fall to the canvas. Trash then starts to climb the ladder, he gets to the top and gets a hand on one of the remaining briefcases, when Kahuna gets back and pushes the ladder over. Trash tries to land on his feet, but unfortunately, his face hits the turnbuckle. He bounces back and careens into a Kahuna clothesline. Kahuna picks him up and executes the Rainbow Slam on him. Kahuna starts to set the ladder back up but notices High Roller lifting his head in an effort to get up. Kahuna walks over and hits him with a Diving headbutt. Roller falls back into a coma. Kahuna again, goes to set the ladder up but Blackout has gotten up and greets him with a haymaker that sends Kahuna stumbling into the corner. Blackout takes the ladder and sets it up in the opposite corner to Kahuna, walks over and grabs Kahuna by the arm, and attempts to whip him into the ladder. Kahuna reverses it and whips Blackout into the corner they just came from. Kahuna charges, but Blackout gets out of the way. Kahuna's shoulder drives into the steal post between the top and middle turnbuckles. Blackout goes over to the ladder and starts to set it up underneath one of the suitcases.

Meanwhile back in the back, Dominic Payne has just dragged his suitcase in and is waiting for Vice to find the key. Jango Cross comes walking up as Jessica Beach looks on.

Jango: I can't believe you actually came back with a suitcase, I guess miracles do happen.

Dominic: How about you just shut up for a few minutes and take a look at what I got.

Dominic takes the key from Vice and opens his briefcase. Inside is a championship belt.

Jango: Oh lord, its a tag team belt. Great, just what you need, someone else to carry you. I hope you get a good partner, I really do, otherwise you won't have that belt for very long.

Jessica: Jango, why are you so critical of Dominic? The man is the largest athlete in the RAWF and has shown already that he is a top caliber athlete.

Jango: TOP CALIBER ATHLETE? Who the hell are you talking about? He couldn't...

Dominic: Hey this is supposed to be MY interview, if you are going to criticize me, can't you do it in private?

Jango slaps him upside the head.

Jango: Shut up and lets go watch the rest of the match.

Jango stalks off camera, with Dominic glaring at his back. After a few seconds, Dominic sighs and follows him.

DOMINIC PAYNE: WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPION

IN RING W- Micky and Bo decide to double team Korben, they both start throwing punches at him and overwhelm him. He staggers back, they each grab one of his arms and whips him into the ropes. They double clothesline him upon his return. A bloody Basic Killer rolls into the ring, sees that Dirge is unconscious and Korben is down and takes advantage by grabbing Bo from behind and executing an atomic drop. Bo gets bowlegged and stumbles toward Micky who decides to join in with a couple of punches to Bo's face. Bo turns around from the force of the blows and Killer hits him with another. Micky and Killer take turns slapping Bo around for a few seconds before Killer gets tired of the game and hits Bo with an elbow to the top of his head, sending him sprawling. Micky takes advantage of the momentary distraction to hit Killer with a couple of punches, backing him into the ropes. Micky backs up and charges Killer, but in a move of pure instinct The Basic One lowers his head and backdrops Micky over the ropes. But unfortunately for Killer, Korben has recovered. He charges and clotheslines him over the top ropes and down on top of Micky. Korben grins and gives the crowd a triumphant gesture .... totally ignoring their pleas for him to turn around ..... Dirge has gotten up and nails him from behind with a spinebreaker. Korben hits the canvas like a rag doll. Omega rolls into the ring, but he should have looked elsewhere because Dirge just picks him up like a piece of paper, presses him over his head, and throws him out .... on top of Micky, who was just getting to his feet. Omega and Micky hit the concrete with a thud that makes most of the spectators who see it wince.

IN RING F- Bill Fury slowly pulls himself up on the ropes .... looks around .... realizes that there is no one around him .... no suitcases to be had...... and nothing but a piece of scrap that used to be a ladder in the ring. So he breaks off a piece of the ladder and heads toward Ring A.
