When the show fades in, everyone is bunched into the lower seats. The fans are on their feet as the camera pans around the arena, showing some of the more memorable signs, and we waste absolutely no time as we cut to the commentary team.
Gould: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second annual Hall Of Fame! I'm Malcolm Gould, alongside my broadcast partners Jim Torres and Teddy Moser!
Torres: And what a stacked card we have for you tonight, opening it with a singles match between Thee Vamp and Alexei Rykov.
Moser: Guys I’ve just received word that our General Manager “The Very Good” David Fraggle has something to say right now in his office.
The camera shows “The Very Good” David Fraggle, Lluvia, Carmesí and Thee Vamp in an office.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: Hello my brothers and sisters it is I “The Very Good” David Fraggle here tonight to make a couple of very special announcements. The first one is tonight’s show’s card. Our first match was meant to be Thee Vamp vs Alexei Rykov. If Alexi losses the match then he is fired from NAW on the spot.
Thee Vamp: Thank-you.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: The second match is Carmesí vs Insignificant Reject. Insignificant Reject for some unknown reason if you lose the match then you’re fired from NAW as well
Carmesí: Thank-you.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: The next announcement is during my match Francois Martin’s head will be the temporary General Manager of NAW. That means that everybody listens to it.
Lluvia: But what can a head do?
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: Whatever it wants to. Tonight I’m making one more announcement for the rest of my time as General Manager of NAW I will not step into the ring. You call think of this as a break from the ring and anything that comes up you’re on your own without me. With that said you’ve got matches to prepare for good luck.
Scene fades and goes back to ringside.
Gould: David Fraggle taking a break from wrestling.
Moser: The Lost Family didn’t seem happy about it.
Torres: I say we just forget him, he’s no Alex Morgan and it’s ridiculous that he’s in the position that he’s in. The fact that he’s even wrestling tonight tells me that he’s abusing his authority.
Gould: But he says that he wants to give the future a chance to impress everybody.
Torres: Well of course he’s going to say that so he doesn’t get exposed for his own ego.
Moser: You guys can argue about this later but just now it’s time for our first match.
Thee Vamp vs Alexei Rykov
Rebecca: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Krasnodar, Russia. Standing at 6’4 and weighing at 265 pounds. He is the "Sovetskiy Soldat" Alexei Rykov.
As the USSR anthem plays Alexei strides out from behind the curtain proudly as the music of his former union plays. He walks defiantly to the ring, despite USA chants. He walks in conventionally. He goes to the ropes and lifts his hands high into the air, drawing heat and chanting from the crowd.
Gould: The fans don’t like this man or his country.
Moser: Just hear this chants of USA.
Torres: I think he’s great.
Rebecca: Introducing his opponent from parts unknown standing at 6’3 and weighing at 270 pounds, he is one half of the NAW Tag Team champions Thee Vamp.
”As Cry Little Sister” plays on the PA system the lights go out. Thee Vamp walks out from behind the curtains and walks slowly to the ring. When he gets to the ring he slides into it and crawls to the centre of the ring as the lights go back on. He then waits on the match to start.
Gould: Listen to the fans cheer him.
Moser: I wonder how he feels about David Fraggle saying that he’s to do things on his own tonight?
Torres: I hope that it bothers him because I hate this whole Lost Family and David Fraggle running things thing.
AS the bell rings Thee Vamp and Alexei both walk to the centre of the ring and have a stare down. Alexi pushes Vamp and then Vamp pushes Alexi back. Alexi then punches Vamp and then Vamp punches him back. Alexi ten goes for a punch but Vamp ducks it. Vamp then sneaks behind Alexi and school boys him. The ref counts.

Torres: How can you tell? He wears a mask.
As the bell rings Carmesí stands up. Reject runs to him and punches him in the face. Carmesí walks backwards into a corner and Reject punches him three more time knocking him down.
Gould: Reject with the sneak attack.
Moser: You don’t want to make Carmesí mad.
Torres: Why not? The guy is a disappointment to the company.
Reject leaves the corner and walks to the centre of the ring. He runs to Carmesí who gets up and kicks him in the face. Reject walks back to the centre of the ring and Carmesí runs at him.

He says a few words, and after a few seconds, the flood of agents moves forward. We see Teddy Justice come out, waving to the crowd. He smiles and looks around, and we see even more agents walk out behind him. They all escort him to the ring, from the front and the back.

He then runs to a nearby corner jumps onto it and raises his arms. He then jumps off of the corner, turns around and waits on the match to begin as his theme stops playing.

The fans cheer.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: I don’t want to take up much longer I do want to say that earlier tonight I said that I was going to take a break from wrestling now to focus on my role as General Manager of NAW.

Oh wait I forgot my other announcement. I believe in finding the future of NAW but to do that properly we need to give them a championship worth holding. Therefore I’m reversing Alex Morgan’s decision to vacant the NAW Horizon Championship tonight and announcing that tonight’s main event will officially be Gunner Hughes vs Alaric Trudeau Tales, Ladders and Chairs for just the NAW Championship.

Gould: Jack went for one too many big moves and it cost him.
Moser: I hope he’s okay.
Torres: It’s his own fault for being desperate.

TLC Match - NAW Championship: Gunner Hughes vs Alaric Trudeau
Gould: Alright now, main event time fellas. Who are you picking to win? I’m gonna go with Gunner Hughes retaining.
Torres: Of course you are Gould, you’ve been drinking that Gunner Hughes kool-aid ever since he became NAW champ again. But I’m picking Alaric Trudeau for the upset. I don’t think Gunner has ever faced somebody the likes of Alaric, somebody who’s willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. I think Trudeau leaves here tonight with two title belts. What about you Moser?
Moser: I think I’m just going to keep quiet and enjoy the match.
Rebecca: Ladies and gentleman, this next contest is a tables, ladders, and chairs match and is for the NAW Championship!! Introducing first, the challenger!
The lights in the arena darken and "Light'em Up" by Fall Out Boy begins to play. As the song intro begins, torches light up both sides of the entryway and illuminate the curtain.
Rebecca: Standing at 6’0 and weighing at 205 pounds, he is the NAW Horizon Champion, New Orleans, LA….”The Crescent City Saint” Alaric Trudeau!!!
Alaric Trudeau's face is illuminated and the look of evil content frightens the audience and they gasp. Alaric casually strolls through the curtain with his NAW Horizon Championship around his waist and he heads down the aisle with his manager Rodrigo and his sister Alexa following behind him. He stops midway through to gaze upon the crowd. His piercing eyes stares into the souls of the crowd and he turns, with his back to the ring and raising his arms from his sides. The lights slowly brighten and Alaric continues his path to the ring. He walks up the stairs and enters the ring, then removes his title belt and hands it off to his sister. His music then comes to a stop and a shotgun blast is heard echoing throughout the arena. A guitar riff starts to pay and then “Mama Said Knock You Out” By Five Finger Death Punch begins to lay. Gunner Hughes comes stomping out from the back, head shaven bald and the NAW Championship draped over his shoulder.
Rebecca: And introducing the champion, standing 6’4 and weighing 274 pounds, he is the NAW Champion, from Portland, Oregon….Gunner Hughes!!!
Gunner walks down to the ring and stops to look at all of the chairs and ladders set up on the outside of the ring.
Gould: Well the champ with different music here tonight and a different look too.
Moser: Well maybe he thinks that shaving all that extra hair off his head will give him an advantage in climbing that ladder.
Torres: Or maybe he just wants to make it easier for the doctors to stitch up his head this time after he gets it caved in again by Alaric.
Gunner smiles at Trudeau with an evil looking smile from the outside as he points to the NAW Championship hanging above the ring. Gunner then climbs in and raises an arm above his head and camera flashes fill the arena. His music comes to a stop and the bell rings to start the match. The two lock up in the center of the ring and Gunner gets the early advantage with a knee to the midsection of Alaric. He pounds away at Alaric with a couple of forearms to the back and then whips him to the corner. Gunner runs in after Alaric with a huge closeline and crushes him into the corner. Gunner throws a few more punches Alaric’s way, hitting him with lefts and rights and bouncing his head backwards off the turnbuckle. Gunner then grabs Alaric by the arm and whips him hard into the opposite corner. Alaric crashes into the turnbuckle back first and then comes stumbling out towards the center of the ring. Gunner comes running at him and launches a Buckshot but Alaric sees it coming and ducks underneath it at the last second. Alaric runs past Gunner and bounces off the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, then comes flying back at him with an enziguri to send the NAW champ to the mat. Alaric climbs back to his feet and catches his breath as he looks down at Gunner and gets a smile on his face.
Gould: Well the champ was trying for his big boot finishing move a little early here tonight but it seems that Alaric was ready for it.
Moser: Yeah, you gotta give it up to Alaric for scouting that move.
Torres: And now Alaric’s about to start his own assault on the champ.
Gunner gets to his feet and Alaric comes up from behind and sweeps his leg out from under him. Gunner hits the mat and Alaric grabs his leg and drops down backwards, hyperextending the champ’s leg. Alaric scrambles back to his feet and lays into Gunner’s leg with a few stomps, then jumps up and comes down with a knee drop right across Gunner’s calf. Gunner rolls around on the mat and grabs his leg in pain as Alaric gets back to his feet and admires his handiwork with a smile. Gunner uses the ropes to help himself stand, but Alaric stays on him with a dropkick to the back of his knee. Gunner hits the mat again and rolls underneath the bottom rope and falls to the outside floor. Alaric wastes no time as he follows him out and picks up one of the chairs. He folds it up and just as Gunner is again getting to his feet he swings it at him and cracks him across the back. Gunner falls to all fours and again Alaric lets him have it across the back and flattens him face first on the floor. Alaric tosses the chair to the side and then picks up one of the ladders set up nearby. He lifts it above his head and drives it down on the back of Gunner’s leg, doing even more damage to the right leg of the NAW champ.
Gould: A very smart strategy by Alaric, working on the leg of the champ.
Moser: It sure is.
Torres: Yeah without legs Gunner can’t climb that ladder, and without climbing that ladder he can’t leave here with the NAW Championship.
Alaric drops the ladder down a second time on the leg of Gunner Hughes, then he slides the ladder inside the ring. Gunner is crawling towards the ring steps and Alaric runs up and meets him with a stomp to his fingers. Gunner rolls over and Alaric gets on top of him and starts to batter him with a flurry of punches and elbows. Alaric gets up and lifts Gunner to his hands and knees and then drags him over towards the steel ring steps. He lifts Gunner’s head up and brings it down towards the top step, but Gunner puts his hand up and stops his head from hitting the step. He then unleashes a few hard elbows to Alaric’s midsection to break free from his grasp. Alaric stumbles backward and Gunner lunges out and closelines him to the floor. Both men are laid out and the fans at ringside are yelling their support.
Gould: Gunner with a desperation move to escape the assault!
Moser: Good thing, he almost got his bell rung on those steel steps.
Gunner climbs to his feet and turns around to see Alaric doing the same. He shakes out his hurt leg a little bit and then meets Alaric with a huge roundhouse punch to the head. Alaric stumbles backward into the barricade and Gunner delivers another huge roundhouse, this time to the midsection. Alaric’s legs come right up off the ground and he lands in a sitting position up against the barricade again. Gunner then picks up the chair that Alaric was using on him and gets an evil looking smile on his face.
Torres: Uh oh, this isn’t gonna be good!
Gunner winds up with the chair and is just about to swing it down on Alaric when suddenly somebody comes up from behind and snatches the chair out of his hand. Gunner spins around to see Rodrigo standing behind him with the chair in his hand. Gunner points at him and mouths a few angry words and Rodrigo starts to back off, looking a bit intimidated as he holds the chair up in a defensive position.
Gould: Look at Rodrigo backing off with his tail between his legs!
Moser: Yeah he wants nothing to do with the NAW champ.
Gunner backs Rodrigo up a few steps as he continues to yell at him, but it gives Alaric time to recover behind him. Alaric gets to his feet and comes up behind Gunner with his arms raised in the air in a double axe handle motion and the fans start to scream. At the very last second Gunner spins around and again closelines Alaric to the floor. He turns his attention back to Rodrigo but Tyson has already taken it upon himself to floor Rodrigo with a dropkick from behind. Tyson gives Gunner a thumbs up sign as he walks away and Gunner pulls the chair out from underneath Rodrigo. He walks back over to Alaric who is just getting to his feet and he smacks him right over the head with the chair. Alaric drops to the floor and Gunner tosses the dented chair to the side and lifts Alaric back to his feet to roll him inside the ring. Gunner climbs in the ring after Alaric and again grabs him as he’s getting to his feet, then he bodyslams him on top of the ladder. Alaric rolls off the ladder and holds his back in pain and meanwhile Gunner picks the ladder up and unfolds it.
Gould: The champion is getting the ladder ready!
Torres: No way, Alaric is already getting to his feet.
Gunner positions the ladder in the center of the ring and starts to make the climb. On the outside of the ring, Alexa bangs the canvas with her hand trying to rouse her brother Alaric who is slowly climbing to his feet. Sensing that he won’t make it up to the belt in time, Gunner leaps off the ladder towards Alaric with a double axe handle but Alaric jumps up and nails Gunner in the stomach with a standing dropkick. Gunner keels over and falls to the mat and Alaric gets a chance to catch his breath. Alaric walks over and stomps Gunner a few times as he’s getting to his feet, then he grabs him and drops him headfirst to the mat with an DDT. Rodrigo is back to his feet on the outside of the ring and he celebrates the move along with Alexis as the fans boo them. Alaric then yells to Rodrigo to slide a table into the ring. Rodrigo quickly pulls a table out from underneath the ring and slides it inside underneath the bottom rope. Alaric scoops the table up and props it up in the corner of the ring. He then turns and grabs Gunner by the hair as he’s trying get to his feet again and he leads him over to the table. He pushes Gunner against the table but instantly Gunner starts to fight back. He works Alaric backward towards the center of the ring with punches but Alaric manages to eventually block a punch and then he grabs Gunner and falls backward, driving him face first into the standing ladder behind him with a Russian leg sweep. Gunner hits the mat and appears to be on dream street and Alaric begins to climb the ladder.
Torres: Here we go, we could have a new champ right here!
Gould: Well you can’t count Gunner out yet!
Gunner starts to crawl towards the ropes and after a few seconds he manages to grab the bottom rope and pull himself to his feet. He staggers over to the ladder and grabs Alaric’s foot just as he gets near the top. Alaric tries to kick Gunner off of him but Gunner reaches over and pulls his other foot out from underneath him and Alaric slides down the ladder. Gunner then grabs Alaric from behind and falls backwards to the mat with a backdrop. Alaric bounces off the mat and Gunner rolls over and gets back to his feet. He lifts Alaric back up and sends him to the ropes, then catches him with a back body drop on the rebound, sending him flying upside down right into the ladder! Alaric and the ladder both come crashing to the mat and the fans cheer their approval loudly.
Gould: Oh wow did you see that? Gunner just sent Alaric upside down right into that ladder!
Torres: Yeah, a little higher and Alaric might have been able to grab the NAW Championship with his feet!
Moser: Indeed!
Meanwhile on the outside of the ring, Tyson slides a chair inside the ring from his side and Gunner spots it, smiling as he picks it up. He raises it up and cracks Alaric across the midsection with it and Alaric writhes in pain. Gunner then lays the chair out across Alaric’s face and takes a few steps back.
Torres: Oh man, what’s he gonna do here?
Gould: Well whatever it is, it doesn’t look good for Alaric!
Gunner leaps up and comes crashing down on top of the chair with a big legdrop, driving into the face of Alaric. Alaric holds his face and rolls around the ring, eventually hitting the edge and falling to the outside floor. Alexa quickly rushes over and checks on her brother. Gunner climbs out of the ring and stalks Alaric, yelling at Alexa to get out of the way as he comes walking up. Alexa however, doesn’t back down. She puts a finger in Gunner’s face and starts to yell at him. Gunner returns a few words of his own and Alexa winds up ready to slap him. But before she can swing her arm it’s caught from behind by Tyson. Tyson pulls her away from Gunner and Gunner goes to work on Alaric with a few stomps. He lifts Alaric to his feet and whips him hard into the ring steps, sending him tumbling over top of them. Meanwhile, Tyson and Alexa are still face to face as Tyson continues to antagonize her but Rodrigo sneaks around the corner of the ring and blindsides Tyson with a shot to the back of his head. He then lifts Tyson up and whips him headfirst into the barricade before going over and checking on Alexa and then leading her to the other side of the ring. On the opposite side, Gunner lifts Alaric to his feet and rolls him onto the announce table. He then reaches down and grabs a monitor cable and proceeds to wrap it around Alaric’s neck. Alaric kicks and flails his legs, sending everything on the announce table flying.
Torres: Great…there goes my soda.
Gould: I think Gunner’s gonna try to choke the life out of Alaric Trudeau!
Gunner finishes wrapping Alaric’s neck with the monitor cable, but instead of choking him with it he quickly flips Alaric over and ties the other end of the cable around one of his ankles and then to the table leg with a knot. He gives Alaric one last elbow to the face and then turns and rolls back inside the ring with a laugh.
Torres: What the hell? Did he just tie Alaric to the announce table with that monitor cable?
Gould: He sure did, and now he’s looking to end this match and go get his title belt!
Gunner starts to set up the ladder and Alaric shakes the cobwebs out and realizes what has happened. He unwinds the cord from his neck and rolls off of the table, then darts for the ring but the cord catches his ankle and he falls on his face. He looks down and notices the cord ties to his leg just as Rodrigo comes running up and starts to help him untie it. Gunner is halfway up the ladder and Alaric finally gets himself free and climbs up onto the ring apron. He looks at Gunner on the ladder, then to the corner, and then he scrambles to the top turnbuckle and leaps off towards the ladder with a dropkick. He nails Gunner and Gunner flies off the ladder and through the table that was set up in the corner. The ladder comes crashing down and again Alexa slaps the mat and yells her support to her brother.
Torres: Oh my, did you see that!? Alaric Trudeau just sent Gunner Hughes through that table!
Moser: Ouch!
Gould: And Gunner’s not moving!
Both men are down for a few moments but Alaric finally sits up and slowly crawls to his feet. Gunner is lying face down motionless on a pile of wood that used to be a table. Alaric walks over and pulls him up by his hair. Alaric bodyslams Gunner on top of the ladder and then yells for Rodrigo to set another table on the outside of the ring. Rodrigo obliges, pulling another table out from under the ring and setting it up. Gunner rolls off of the ladder and Alaric is right there to lift him up and walk him over to the edge of the ring where table was just set up. Alaric stands Gunner against the ropes and runs towards the opposite side of the ring to bounce off the ropes, but Tyson is right there to reach up and pull down the top rope, causing Alaric to tumble to the outside. Alaric falls to the floor and scrambles to his feet, but again Tyson is right there with a chair to lay Alaric flat on his back. Again Rodrigo comes running at Tyson but this time Tyson is ready for him and they collide with a flurry of punches. Tyson drops the chair and they work their way towards the aisle way taking turns getting the better of each other and then they fall over the barricade and into the crowd. Meanwhile, Gunner catches his breath and exits the ring to go after Alaric. He lifts Alaric to his feet and slams his head off of the steel ring steps. Alaric falls to the floor and Gunner grabs the chair and holds it tightly, stalking Alaric as he slowly starts to get up. Rodrigo breaks free from Tyson and comes running up behind Gunner, but Gunner sees him and spins around to smack him over the head with the chair. Rodrigo falls to the floor and Gunner returns his attention to Alaric but it’s too late as Alaric is recovered and waiting for him. He delivers a superkick right to the chair and drives it right into Gunner’s face. Gunner falls backward and to the floor, a spot of blood beginning to trickle from his forehead.
Gould: Wow what a kick!
Moser: And it looks like the champ is busted open.
Torres: Yeah and Alaric smells that blood too, check out the look in his eyes!
Alaric sees Gunner on the floor busted open and he gets a huge smile on his face. He then drags Gunner over to the ring steps and lays his head across the second step. He picks the chair up off of the floor and looks into the crowd with a sinful looking smile.
Gould: Oh this can’t be good. He’s looking to deliver another brutal chair attack to Gunner’s head!
Torres: Yeah and just like on the last Meltdown…this could be lights out for Gunner Hughes!
Alaric raises the chair above his head and brings it down hard across the steps, smashing Gunner’s head. Gunner rolls off the steps and now his forehead is all covered in blood. Alaric nails him a few mores times across the back with the chair, then tosses it to the side and climbs back inside the ring to start setting up the ladder.
Moser: What an assault!
Gould: Gunner Hughes may need medical attention after that!
Torres: Oh man, I think we’re gonna crown a new champion right here!
Alaric finally gets the ladder in position and then begins to climb the steps. Gunner rolls over onto his stomach and crawls up the ring steps towards the inside of the ring. He rolls inside just as Alaric reaches the top of the ladder. Alaric reaches up and grabs the NAW Championship but Gunner finally stands up and lunges for the ladder. He pushes the ladder over and Alaric loses his grip of the title belt, falling over with the ladder. He crashes to the canvas and both men are down again for a few moments. They each crawl to opposite sides of the ring and use the ropes to pull themselves up, but it’s Alaric who shakes the cobwebs out first. He runs across the ring at Gunner to go for a closeline but Gunner has also recovered and ducks down and levels him with a spear. He then lifts Alaric to his feet and tosses him over the top rope with a bodyslam, sending him crashing through the table that was set up on the outside of the ring. Gunner takes a few seconds to catch his breath, then he picks the ladder up and sets it in place.
Gould: Now it’s Gunner sending Alaric through the table!
Moser: And he’s looking to end this match right here!
Torres: Nooo!
Gunner starts to climb the ladder and the fans start going nuts. Rodrigo and Alexa are trying to revive Alaric who is still pretty groggy from his trip through the table. He starts to slowly get to his feet but as he realizes that Gunner is about to win the match and he starts to move much faster. He rolls inside the ring and starts to scurry up the opposite side of the ladder. Gunner is at the top and reaching up to grab the title but Alaric gets up there and nails him in the stomach with a punch. Gunner drops down a couple of steps and now the two are face to face. Alaric again nails Gunner with a punch but Gunner fires back and stuns Alaric with a hard punch of his own. Alaric begins to fall and out of desperation he hooks his arm around Gunner’s head for a suplex.
Moser: What’s Alaric thinking?
Gould: I’m not sure. He’s certainly not going to be able to suplex Gunner over his head from up there?
Alaric keeps his grip on Gunner’s head and then he leaps out from the ladder and swings around behind him to lock in a dragon sleeper hold. He puts his knees in Gunner’s back for leverage and squeezes with all of his might as the crowd gasps,
Gould: I can’t believe what I’m seeing! Alaric has a dragon sleeper locked in and is forcing Gunner to hold them both up!
Moser: Oh man, this makes my back ache just seeing it!
Torres: Yeah me too. I’m going to have to call my chiropractor now.
Alaric tightens his grip on Gunner and Gunner appears to be losing consciousness. His legs slowly begin to give and after a few more seconds he decides to leap off the ladder backwards with Alaric on his back. Both men crash to the canvas and appear to be laid out cold as the crowd again gasps in amazement.
Gould: Well I guess Gunner decided that jumping was his only option.
Torres: Yeah, it might have been his only option…but it sure wasn’t a good one.
Alexa shouts to Alaric to get up and Tyson does the same in Gunner’s corner. Rodrigo then enters the ring and starts to try to wake Alaric up. After a failed attempt he looks at Alexa who is yelling at him to keep trying. Rodrigo looks at Alaric and then up at the title belt, then he stands up and heads to the ladder. He start to climb and the fans go nuts.
Gould: What’s Rodrigo doing?
Torres: I don’t know? Is he going to try to get the title belt for Alaric?
Moser: Is that even legal?
Everyone looks on with confused expressions on their faces and after a few seconds Tyson hits the ring and starts to climb the opposite side of the ladder after Rodrigo.
Torres: Ok this is getting weird now.
Both managers near the top of the ladder and begin to trade punches. Rodrigo rakes Tyson eyes to get the upper hand and then rams his head off of the top of the ladder. Tyson almost loses his grip but regains his composure and fires back with a chop to the throat of Rodrigo. A few more punches are thrown back and forth and Alaric and Gunner have now both gotten to their feet and both of them turn to see their managers on the ladder duking it out. After a couple of confused looks of their own, they both decide to start trading punches themselves. Tyson gets the upper hand on Rodrigo and flips him off the ladder with swinging neckbreaker. Both managers crash to the mat and roll out of the ring to the outside floor.
Torres: Jeez it’s like a bar fight out here!
Moser: Yeah, even the managers are fighting!
Inside the ring Gunner has Alaric trapped in the corner crushing him with shoulder charges, but upon delivering one final charge Alaric brings his feet up and Gunner dives past him and into the ring post. Alaric recovers a bit and then drags Gunner back out into the ring. He drops him with a facebuster and then moves the ladder back in position. He looks and sees Gunner starting to move and nails him with some more stomps. He lifts Gunner to his feet and irish whips him to the ropes, then when Gunner comes running back for the rebound he jumps up for a standing dropkick. But Gunner telegraphs the move and steps to the side to catch Alaric by the legs, powerbombing him down on the mat afterwards. After a few seconds Gunner climbs to his feet and picks up the steel chair lying on the mat. Alaric gets to his feet and Gunner swings the chair and cracks it over his head. Alaric falls to the mat, his head now dripping with blood as well. Gunner takes a few seconds to recover, then he walks over to the corner and props the dented chair up into the top turnbuckle. He walks back over and grabs Alaric as he’s getting up and lifts him up in the bodyslam positon. He starts to run towards the turnbuckle in an attempt to smash Alaric into the chair back-first, but just as Gunner gets a few steps from the corner Alaric slips out of Gunner’s grasp and spins around to land behind him. Alaric quickly dropkicks Gunner from behind to send him stumbling face first into the chair. Gunner comes stumbling back out of the corner dazed from the chair shot and Alaric drops him with an implant DDT. Alaric takes a little bit of time to recover, then he gets back to his feet and re-positions the ladder and starts to climb.
Torres: This could be it, we’re gonna have a new champ!
Moser: Gunner better hurry! Alaric is gonna get that title!
Gunner slowly rolls over and uses the ladder to pull himself back up to his feet. He sees Alaric on the opposite side climbing and almost to the top so he hurries over and grabs Alaric’s leg. Alaric tries to kick him off as he drags him down the ladder rung by rung and to the mat. After a few attempts Alaric finally nails Gunner in the heads with a hard kick and sends him stumbling backward and into the corner. Alaric charges in after him but Gunner ducks out of the way and Alaric hits the bare turnbuckles. Gunner takes a few steps back and waits as Alaric stumbles out of the corner and into the center of the ring and then he runs up and levels Alaric with a Buckshot! The crowd goes crazy as Gunner grabs the ladder and begins to climb.
Gould: He hit him with a Buckshot! This could be over!
Gunner gets to the top of the ladder and unhooks the NAW Championship before falling to the mat. Alaric is still out cold as Alexa and Rodrigo flood the ring and check on him.
Rebecca: Here is your winner, and still NAW Champion…Gunner Hughes!!!
Winner: Gunner Hughes
A battered and bloody Gunner rolls to the outside and holds up his title belt with the aid of Tyson Phoenix who is holding him up and helping him to the back. Alaric sits up and wipes the blood from his face, a disappointed look in his eyes as he watches Gunner leave with the NAW Championship.
Gould: Wow what a match!
Torres: It sure was, and Alaric was so close too.
Moser: Well Gunner Hughes has been the champion for a long time, and now we know why.
Gunner stumbles to the back with his title belt in his grasp and the fans sitting near the aisle way pat him on the back as he walks by.
Gould: Well that about does it for us fellas, I hope everybody enjoyed a fantastic night of wrestling. I'm Malcolm Gould, alongside my broadcast partners Jim Torres and Teddy Moser. Have a great night everybody!
The fans continue to cheer as their NAW Champion disappears into the backstage and the show goes off the air.
Gould: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second annual Hall Of Fame! I'm Malcolm Gould, alongside my broadcast partners Jim Torres and Teddy Moser!
Torres: And what a stacked card we have for you tonight, opening it with a singles match between Thee Vamp and Alexei Rykov.
Moser: Guys I’ve just received word that our General Manager “The Very Good” David Fraggle has something to say right now in his office.
The camera shows “The Very Good” David Fraggle, Lluvia, Carmesí and Thee Vamp in an office.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: Hello my brothers and sisters it is I “The Very Good” David Fraggle here tonight to make a couple of very special announcements. The first one is tonight’s show’s card. Our first match was meant to be Thee Vamp vs Alexei Rykov. If Alexi losses the match then he is fired from NAW on the spot.
Thee Vamp: Thank-you.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: The second match is Carmesí vs Insignificant Reject. Insignificant Reject for some unknown reason if you lose the match then you’re fired from NAW as well
Carmesí: Thank-you.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: The next announcement is during my match Francois Martin’s head will be the temporary General Manager of NAW. That means that everybody listens to it.
Lluvia: But what can a head do?
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: Whatever it wants to. Tonight I’m making one more announcement for the rest of my time as General Manager of NAW I will not step into the ring. You call think of this as a break from the ring and anything that comes up you’re on your own without me. With that said you’ve got matches to prepare for good luck.
Scene fades and goes back to ringside.
Gould: David Fraggle taking a break from wrestling.
Moser: The Lost Family didn’t seem happy about it.
Torres: I say we just forget him, he’s no Alex Morgan and it’s ridiculous that he’s in the position that he’s in. The fact that he’s even wrestling tonight tells me that he’s abusing his authority.
Gould: But he says that he wants to give the future a chance to impress everybody.
Torres: Well of course he’s going to say that so he doesn’t get exposed for his own ego.
Moser: You guys can argue about this later but just now it’s time for our first match.

Gould: Listen to the fans cheer him.
Moser: I wonder how he feels about David Fraggle saying that he’s to do things on his own tonight?
Torres: I hope that it bothers him because I hate this whole Lost Family and David Fraggle running things thing.
AS the bell rings Thee Vamp and Alexei both walk to the centre of the ring and have a stare down. Alexi pushes Vamp and then Vamp pushes Alexi back. Alexi then punches Vamp and then Vamp punches him back. Alexi ten goes for a punch but Vamp ducks it. Vamp then sneaks behind Alexi and school boys him. The ref counts.

Torres: How can you tell? He wears a mask.
As the bell rings Carmesí stands up. Reject runs to him and punches him in the face. Carmesí walks backwards into a corner and Reject punches him three more time knocking him down.
Gould: Reject with the sneak attack.
Moser: You don’t want to make Carmesí mad.
Torres: Why not? The guy is a disappointment to the company.
Reject leaves the corner and walks to the centre of the ring. He runs to Carmesí who gets up and kicks him in the face. Reject walks back to the centre of the ring and Carmesí runs at him.

He says a few words, and after a few seconds, the flood of agents moves forward. We see Teddy Justice come out, waving to the crowd.

They looked at me and they said that my size would stop me from ever being a top start in NAW but I proved them wrong.
The fans cheer.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: I don’t want to take up much longer I do want to say that earlier tonight I said that I was going to take a break from wrestling now to focus on my role as General Manager of NAW.

Just because I’m in the NAW Hall Of Fame now doesn’t mean my career is over it’s just getting exciting.
The fans cheer louder.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: Finally I want to say Theodore Justice tonight I did beat you but after what you did tonight I promise you that your time will come. Oh wait I forgot my other announcement. I believe in finding the future of NAW but to do that properly we need to give them a championship worth holding. Therefore I’m reversing Alex Morgan’s decision to vacant the NAW Horizon Championship tonight and announcing that tonight’s main event will officially be Gunner Hughes vs Alaric Trudeau Tales, Ladders and Chairs for just the NAW Championship. That’s right Alaric you could leave here tonight with two titles. Now hit my music.

TLC Match - NAW Championship: Gunner Hughes vs Alaric Trudeau
Gould: Alright now, main event time fellas. Who are you picking to win? I’m gonna go with Gunner Hughes retaining.
Torres: Of course you are Gould, you’ve been drinking that Gunner Hughes kool-aid ever since he became NAW champ again. But I’m picking Alaric Trudeau for the upset. I don’t think Gunner has ever faced somebody the likes of Alaric, somebody who’s willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. I think Trudeau leaves here tonight with two title belts. What about you Moser?
Moser: I think I’m just going to keep quiet and enjoy the match.
Rebecca: Ladies and gentleman, this next contest is a tables, ladders, and chairs match and is for the NAW Championship!! Introducing first, the challenger!
The lights in the arena darken and "Light'em Up" by Fall Out Boy begins to play. As the song intro begins, torches light up both sides of the entryway and illuminate the curtain.
Rebecca: Standing at 6’0 and weighing at 205 pounds, he is the NAW Horizon Champion, New Orleans, LA….”The Crescent City Saint” Alaric Trudeau!!!
Alaric Trudeau's face is illuminated and the look of evil content frightens the audience and they gasp. Alaric casually strolls through the curtain with his NAW Horizon Championship around his waist and he heads down the aisle with his manager Rodrigo and his sister Alexa following behind him. He stops midway through to gaze upon the crowd. His piercing eyes stares into the souls of the crowd and he turns, with his back to the ring and raising his arms from his sides. The lights slowly brighten and Alaric continues his path to the ring. He walks up the stairs and enters the ring, then removes his title belt and hands it off to his sister. His music then comes to a stop and a shotgun blast is heard echoing throughout the arena. A guitar riff starts to pay and then “Mama Said Knock You Out” By Five Finger Death Punch begins to lay. Gunner Hughes comes stomping out from the back, head shaven bald and the NAW Championship draped over his shoulder.
Rebecca: And introducing the champion, standing 6’4 and weighing 274 pounds, he is the NAW Champion, from Portland, Oregon….Gunner Hughes!!!
Gunner walks down to the ring and stops to look at all of the chairs and ladders set up on the outside of the ring.
Gould: Well the champ with different music here tonight and a different look too.
Moser: Well maybe he thinks that shaving all that extra hair off his head will give him an advantage in climbing that ladder.
Torres: Or maybe he just wants to make it easier for the doctors to stitch up his head this time after he gets it caved in again by Alaric.
Gunner smiles at Trudeau with an evil looking smile from the outside as he points to the NAW Championship hanging above the ring. Gunner then climbs in and raises an arm above his head and camera flashes fill the arena. His music comes to a stop and the bell rings to start the match. The two lock up in the center of the ring and Gunner gets the early advantage with a knee to the midsection of Alaric. He pounds away at Alaric with a couple of forearms to the back and then whips him to the corner. Gunner runs in after Alaric with a huge closeline and crushes him into the corner. Gunner throws a few more punches Alaric’s way, hitting him with lefts and rights and bouncing his head backwards off the turnbuckle. Gunner then grabs Alaric by the arm and whips him hard into the opposite corner. Alaric crashes into the turnbuckle back first and then comes stumbling out towards the center of the ring. Gunner comes running at him and launches a Buckshot but Alaric sees it coming and ducks underneath it at the last second. Alaric runs past Gunner and bounces off the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, then comes flying back at him with an enziguri to send the NAW champ to the mat. Alaric climbs back to his feet and catches his breath as he looks down at Gunner and gets a smile on his face.
Gould: Well the champ was trying for his big boot finishing move a little early here tonight but it seems that Alaric was ready for it.
Moser: Yeah, you gotta give it up to Alaric for scouting that move.
Torres: And now Alaric’s about to start his own assault on the champ.
Gunner gets to his feet and Alaric comes up from behind and sweeps his leg out from under him. Gunner hits the mat and Alaric grabs his leg and drops down backwards, hyperextending the champ’s leg. Alaric scrambles back to his feet and lays into Gunner’s leg with a few stomps, then jumps up and comes down with a knee drop right across Gunner’s calf. Gunner rolls around on the mat and grabs his leg in pain as Alaric gets back to his feet and admires his handiwork with a smile. Gunner uses the ropes to help himself stand, but Alaric stays on him with a dropkick to the back of his knee. Gunner hits the mat again and rolls underneath the bottom rope and falls to the outside floor. Alaric wastes no time as he follows him out and picks up one of the chairs. He folds it up and just as Gunner is again getting to his feet he swings it at him and cracks him across the back. Gunner falls to all fours and again Alaric lets him have it across the back and flattens him face first on the floor. Alaric tosses the chair to the side and then picks up one of the ladders set up nearby. He lifts it above his head and drives it down on the back of Gunner’s leg, doing even more damage to the right leg of the NAW champ.
Gould: A very smart strategy by Alaric, working on the leg of the champ.
Moser: It sure is.
Torres: Yeah without legs Gunner can’t climb that ladder, and without climbing that ladder he can’t leave here with the NAW Championship.
Alaric drops the ladder down a second time on the leg of Gunner Hughes, then he slides the ladder inside the ring. Gunner is crawling towards the ring steps and Alaric runs up and meets him with a stomp to his fingers. Gunner rolls over and Alaric gets on top of him and starts to batter him with a flurry of punches and elbows. Alaric gets up and lifts Gunner to his hands and knees and then drags him over towards the steel ring steps. He lifts Gunner’s head up and brings it down towards the top step, but Gunner puts his hand up and stops his head from hitting the step. He then unleashes a few hard elbows to Alaric’s midsection to break free from his grasp. Alaric stumbles backward and Gunner lunges out and closelines him to the floor. Both men are laid out and the fans at ringside are yelling their support.
Gould: Gunner with a desperation move to escape the assault!
Moser: Good thing, he almost got his bell rung on those steel steps.
Gunner climbs to his feet and turns around to see Alaric doing the same. He shakes out his hurt leg a little bit and then meets Alaric with a huge roundhouse punch to the head. Alaric stumbles backward into the barricade and Gunner delivers another huge roundhouse, this time to the midsection. Alaric’s legs come right up off the ground and he lands in a sitting position up against the barricade again. Gunner then picks up the chair that Alaric was using on him and gets an evil looking smile on his face.
Torres: Uh oh, this isn’t gonna be good!
Gunner winds up with the chair and is just about to swing it down on Alaric when suddenly somebody comes up from behind and snatches the chair out of his hand. Gunner spins around to see Rodrigo standing behind him with the chair in his hand. Gunner points at him and mouths a few angry words and Rodrigo starts to back off, looking a bit intimidated as he holds the chair up in a defensive position.
Gould: Look at Rodrigo backing off with his tail between his legs!
Moser: Yeah he wants nothing to do with the NAW champ.
Gunner backs Rodrigo up a few steps as he continues to yell at him, but it gives Alaric time to recover behind him. Alaric gets to his feet and comes up behind Gunner with his arms raised in the air in a double axe handle motion and the fans start to scream. At the very last second Gunner spins around and again closelines Alaric to the floor. He turns his attention back to Rodrigo but Tyson has already taken it upon himself to floor Rodrigo with a dropkick from behind. Tyson gives Gunner a thumbs up sign as he walks away and Gunner pulls the chair out from underneath Rodrigo. He walks back over to Alaric who is just getting to his feet and he smacks him right over the head with the chair. Alaric drops to the floor and Gunner tosses the dented chair to the side and lifts Alaric back to his feet to roll him inside the ring. Gunner climbs in the ring after Alaric and again grabs him as he’s getting to his feet, then he bodyslams him on top of the ladder. Alaric rolls off the ladder and holds his back in pain and meanwhile Gunner picks the ladder up and unfolds it.
Gould: The champion is getting the ladder ready!
Torres: No way, Alaric is already getting to his feet.
Gunner positions the ladder in the center of the ring and starts to make the climb. On the outside of the ring, Alexa bangs the canvas with her hand trying to rouse her brother Alaric who is slowly climbing to his feet. Sensing that he won’t make it up to the belt in time, Gunner leaps off the ladder towards Alaric with a double axe handle but Alaric jumps up and nails Gunner in the stomach with a standing dropkick. Gunner keels over and falls to the mat and Alaric gets a chance to catch his breath. Alaric walks over and stomps Gunner a few times as he’s getting to his feet, then he grabs him and drops him headfirst to the mat with an DDT. Rodrigo is back to his feet on the outside of the ring and he celebrates the move along with Alexis as the fans boo them. Alaric then yells to Rodrigo to slide a table into the ring. Rodrigo quickly pulls a table out from underneath the ring and slides it inside underneath the bottom rope. Alaric scoops the table up and props it up in the corner of the ring. He then turns and grabs Gunner by the hair as he’s trying get to his feet again and he leads him over to the table. He pushes Gunner against the table but instantly Gunner starts to fight back. He works Alaric backward towards the center of the ring with punches but Alaric manages to eventually block a punch and then he grabs Gunner and falls backward, driving him face first into the standing ladder behind him with a Russian leg sweep. Gunner hits the mat and appears to be on dream street and Alaric begins to climb the ladder.
Torres: Here we go, we could have a new champ right here!
Gould: Well you can’t count Gunner out yet!
Gunner starts to crawl towards the ropes and after a few seconds he manages to grab the bottom rope and pull himself to his feet. He staggers over to the ladder and grabs Alaric’s foot just as he gets near the top. Alaric tries to kick Gunner off of him but Gunner reaches over and pulls his other foot out from underneath him and Alaric slides down the ladder. Gunner then grabs Alaric from behind and falls backwards to the mat with a backdrop. Alaric bounces off the mat and Gunner rolls over and gets back to his feet. He lifts Alaric back up and sends him to the ropes, then catches him with a back body drop on the rebound, sending him flying upside down right into the ladder! Alaric and the ladder both come crashing to the mat and the fans cheer their approval loudly.
Gould: Oh wow did you see that? Gunner just sent Alaric upside down right into that ladder!
Torres: Yeah, a little higher and Alaric might have been able to grab the NAW Championship with his feet!
Moser: Indeed!
Meanwhile on the outside of the ring, Tyson slides a chair inside the ring from his side and Gunner spots it, smiling as he picks it up. He raises it up and cracks Alaric across the midsection with it and Alaric writhes in pain. Gunner then lays the chair out across Alaric’s face and takes a few steps back.
Torres: Oh man, what’s he gonna do here?
Gould: Well whatever it is, it doesn’t look good for Alaric!
Gunner leaps up and comes crashing down on top of the chair with a big legdrop, driving into the face of Alaric. Alaric holds his face and rolls around the ring, eventually hitting the edge and falling to the outside floor. Alexa quickly rushes over and checks on her brother. Gunner climbs out of the ring and stalks Alaric, yelling at Alexa to get out of the way as he comes walking up. Alexa however, doesn’t back down. She puts a finger in Gunner’s face and starts to yell at him. Gunner returns a few words of his own and Alexa winds up ready to slap him. But before she can swing her arm it’s caught from behind by Tyson. Tyson pulls her away from Gunner and Gunner goes to work on Alaric with a few stomps. He lifts Alaric to his feet and whips him hard into the ring steps, sending him tumbling over top of them. Meanwhile, Tyson and Alexa are still face to face as Tyson continues to antagonize her but Rodrigo sneaks around the corner of the ring and blindsides Tyson with a shot to the back of his head. He then lifts Tyson up and whips him headfirst into the barricade before going over and checking on Alexa and then leading her to the other side of the ring. On the opposite side, Gunner lifts Alaric to his feet and rolls him onto the announce table. He then reaches down and grabs a monitor cable and proceeds to wrap it around Alaric’s neck. Alaric kicks and flails his legs, sending everything on the announce table flying.
Torres: Great…there goes my soda.
Gould: I think Gunner’s gonna try to choke the life out of Alaric Trudeau!
Gunner finishes wrapping Alaric’s neck with the monitor cable, but instead of choking him with it he quickly flips Alaric over and ties the other end of the cable around one of his ankles and then to the table leg with a knot. He gives Alaric one last elbow to the face and then turns and rolls back inside the ring with a laugh.
Torres: What the hell? Did he just tie Alaric to the announce table with that monitor cable?
Gould: He sure did, and now he’s looking to end this match and go get his title belt!
Gunner starts to set up the ladder and Alaric shakes the cobwebs out and realizes what has happened. He unwinds the cord from his neck and rolls off of the table, then darts for the ring but the cord catches his ankle and he falls on his face. He looks down and notices the cord ties to his leg just as Rodrigo comes running up and starts to help him untie it. Gunner is halfway up the ladder and Alaric finally gets himself free and climbs up onto the ring apron. He looks at Gunner on the ladder, then to the corner, and then he scrambles to the top turnbuckle and leaps off towards the ladder with a dropkick. He nails Gunner and Gunner flies off the ladder and through the table that was set up in the corner. The ladder comes crashing down and again Alexa slaps the mat and yells her support to her brother.
Torres: Oh my, did you see that!? Alaric Trudeau just sent Gunner Hughes through that table!
Moser: Ouch!
Gould: And Gunner’s not moving!
Both men are down for a few moments but Alaric finally sits up and slowly crawls to his feet. Gunner is lying face down motionless on a pile of wood that used to be a table. Alaric walks over and pulls him up by his hair. Alaric bodyslams Gunner on top of the ladder and then yells for Rodrigo to set another table on the outside of the ring. Rodrigo obliges, pulling another table out from under the ring and setting it up. Gunner rolls off of the ladder and Alaric is right there to lift him up and walk him over to the edge of the ring where table was just set up. Alaric stands Gunner against the ropes and runs towards the opposite side of the ring to bounce off the ropes, but Tyson is right there to reach up and pull down the top rope, causing Alaric to tumble to the outside. Alaric falls to the floor and scrambles to his feet, but again Tyson is right there with a chair to lay Alaric flat on his back. Again Rodrigo comes running at Tyson but this time Tyson is ready for him and they collide with a flurry of punches. Tyson drops the chair and they work their way towards the aisle way taking turns getting the better of each other and then they fall over the barricade and into the crowd. Meanwhile, Gunner catches his breath and exits the ring to go after Alaric. He lifts Alaric to his feet and slams his head off of the steel ring steps. Alaric falls to the floor and Gunner grabs the chair and holds it tightly, stalking Alaric as he slowly starts to get up. Rodrigo breaks free from Tyson and comes running up behind Gunner, but Gunner sees him and spins around to smack him over the head with the chair. Rodrigo falls to the floor and Gunner returns his attention to Alaric but it’s too late as Alaric is recovered and waiting for him. He delivers a superkick right to the chair and drives it right into Gunner’s face. Gunner falls backward and to the floor, a spot of blood beginning to trickle from his forehead.
Gould: Wow what a kick!
Moser: And it looks like the champ is busted open.
Torres: Yeah and Alaric smells that blood too, check out the look in his eyes!
Alaric sees Gunner on the floor busted open and he gets a huge smile on his face. He then drags Gunner over to the ring steps and lays his head across the second step. He picks the chair up off of the floor and looks into the crowd with a sinful looking smile.
Gould: Oh this can’t be good. He’s looking to deliver another brutal chair attack to Gunner’s head!
Torres: Yeah and just like on the last Meltdown…this could be lights out for Gunner Hughes!
Alaric raises the chair above his head and brings it down hard across the steps, smashing Gunner’s head. Gunner rolls off the steps and now his forehead is all covered in blood. Alaric nails him a few mores times across the back with the chair, then tosses it to the side and climbs back inside the ring to start setting up the ladder.
Moser: What an assault!
Gould: Gunner Hughes may need medical attention after that!
Torres: Oh man, I think we’re gonna crown a new champion right here!
Alaric finally gets the ladder in position and then begins to climb the steps. Gunner rolls over onto his stomach and crawls up the ring steps towards the inside of the ring. He rolls inside just as Alaric reaches the top of the ladder. Alaric reaches up and grabs the NAW Championship but Gunner finally stands up and lunges for the ladder. He pushes the ladder over and Alaric loses his grip of the title belt, falling over with the ladder. He crashes to the canvas and both men are down again for a few moments. They each crawl to opposite sides of the ring and use the ropes to pull themselves up, but it’s Alaric who shakes the cobwebs out first. He runs across the ring at Gunner to go for a closeline but Gunner has also recovered and ducks down and levels him with a spear. He then lifts Alaric to his feet and tosses him over the top rope with a bodyslam, sending him crashing through the table that was set up on the outside of the ring. Gunner takes a few seconds to catch his breath, then he picks the ladder up and sets it in place.
Gould: Now it’s Gunner sending Alaric through the table!
Moser: And he’s looking to end this match right here!
Torres: Nooo!
Gunner starts to climb the ladder and the fans start going nuts. Rodrigo and Alexa are trying to revive Alaric who is still pretty groggy from his trip through the table. He starts to slowly get to his feet but as he realizes that Gunner is about to win the match and he starts to move much faster. He rolls inside the ring and starts to scurry up the opposite side of the ladder. Gunner is at the top and reaching up to grab the title but Alaric gets up there and nails him in the stomach with a punch. Gunner drops down a couple of steps and now the two are face to face. Alaric again nails Gunner with a punch but Gunner fires back and stuns Alaric with a hard punch of his own. Alaric begins to fall and out of desperation he hooks his arm around Gunner’s head for a suplex.
Moser: What’s Alaric thinking?
Gould: I’m not sure. He’s certainly not going to be able to suplex Gunner over his head from up there?
Alaric keeps his grip on Gunner’s head and then he leaps out from the ladder and swings around behind him to lock in a dragon sleeper hold. He puts his knees in Gunner’s back for leverage and squeezes with all of his might as the crowd gasps,
Gould: I can’t believe what I’m seeing! Alaric has a dragon sleeper locked in and is forcing Gunner to hold them both up!
Moser: Oh man, this makes my back ache just seeing it!
Torres: Yeah me too. I’m going to have to call my chiropractor now.
Alaric tightens his grip on Gunner and Gunner appears to be losing consciousness. His legs slowly begin to give and after a few more seconds he decides to leap off the ladder backwards with Alaric on his back. Both men crash to the canvas and appear to be laid out cold as the crowd again gasps in amazement.
Gould: Well I guess Gunner decided that jumping was his only option.
Torres: Yeah, it might have been his only option…but it sure wasn’t a good one.
Alexa shouts to Alaric to get up and Tyson does the same in Gunner’s corner. Rodrigo then enters the ring and starts to try to wake Alaric up. After a failed attempt he looks at Alexa who is yelling at him to keep trying. Rodrigo looks at Alaric and then up at the title belt, then he stands up and heads to the ladder. He start to climb and the fans go nuts.
Gould: What’s Rodrigo doing?
Torres: I don’t know? Is he going to try to get the title belt for Alaric?
Moser: Is that even legal?
Everyone looks on with confused expressions on their faces and after a few seconds Tyson hits the ring and starts to climb the opposite side of the ladder after Rodrigo.
Torres: Ok this is getting weird now.
Both managers near the top of the ladder and begin to trade punches. Rodrigo rakes Tyson eyes to get the upper hand and then rams his head off of the top of the ladder. Tyson almost loses his grip but regains his composure and fires back with a chop to the throat of Rodrigo. A few more punches are thrown back and forth and Alaric and Gunner have now both gotten to their feet and both of them turn to see their managers on the ladder duking it out. After a couple of confused looks of their own, they both decide to start trading punches themselves. Tyson gets the upper hand on Rodrigo and flips him off the ladder with swinging neckbreaker. Both managers crash to the mat and roll out of the ring to the outside floor.
Torres: Jeez it’s like a bar fight out here!
Moser: Yeah, even the managers are fighting!
Inside the ring Gunner has Alaric trapped in the corner crushing him with shoulder charges, but upon delivering one final charge Alaric brings his feet up and Gunner dives past him and into the ring post. Alaric recovers a bit and then drags Gunner back out into the ring. He drops him with a facebuster and then moves the ladder back in position. He looks and sees Gunner starting to move and nails him with some more stomps. He lifts Gunner to his feet and irish whips him to the ropes, then when Gunner comes running back for the rebound he jumps up for a standing dropkick. But Gunner telegraphs the move and steps to the side to catch Alaric by the legs, powerbombing him down on the mat afterwards. After a few seconds Gunner climbs to his feet and picks up the steel chair lying on the mat. Alaric gets to his feet and Gunner swings the chair and cracks it over his head. Alaric falls to the mat, his head now dripping with blood as well. Gunner takes a few seconds to recover, then he walks over to the corner and props the dented chair up into the top turnbuckle. He walks back over and grabs Alaric as he’s getting up and lifts him up in the bodyslam positon. He starts to run towards the turnbuckle in an attempt to smash Alaric into the chair back-first, but just as Gunner gets a few steps from the corner Alaric slips out of Gunner’s grasp and spins around to land behind him. Alaric quickly dropkicks Gunner from behind to send him stumbling face first into the chair. Gunner comes stumbling back out of the corner dazed from the chair shot and Alaric drops him with an implant DDT. Alaric takes a little bit of time to recover, then he gets back to his feet and re-positions the ladder and starts to climb.
Torres: This could be it, we’re gonna have a new champ!
Moser: Gunner better hurry! Alaric is gonna get that title!
Gunner slowly rolls over and uses the ladder to pull himself back up to his feet. He sees Alaric on the opposite side climbing and almost to the top so he hurries over and grabs Alaric’s leg. Alaric tries to kick him off as he drags him down the ladder rung by rung and to the mat. After a few attempts Alaric finally nails Gunner in the heads with a hard kick and sends him stumbling backward and into the corner. Alaric charges in after him but Gunner ducks out of the way and Alaric hits the bare turnbuckles. Gunner takes a few steps back and waits as Alaric stumbles out of the corner and into the center of the ring and then he runs up and levels Alaric with a Buckshot! The crowd goes crazy as Gunner grabs the ladder and begins to climb.
Gould: He hit him with a Buckshot! This could be over!
Gunner gets to the top of the ladder and unhooks the NAW Championship before falling to the mat. Alaric is still out cold as Alexa and Rodrigo flood the ring and check on him.
Rebecca: Here is your winner, and still NAW Champion…Gunner Hughes!!!
Winner: Gunner Hughes
A battered and bloody Gunner rolls to the outside and holds up his title belt with the aid of Tyson Phoenix who is holding him up and helping him to the back. Alaric sits up and wipes the blood from his face, a disappointed look in his eyes as he watches Gunner leave with the NAW Championship.
Gould: Wow what a match!
Torres: It sure was, and Alaric was so close too.
Moser: Well Gunner Hughes has been the champion for a long time, and now we know why.
Gunner stumbles to the back with his title belt in his grasp and the fans sitting near the aisle way pat him on the back as he walks by.
Gould: Well that about does it for us fellas, I hope everybody enjoyed a fantastic night of wrestling. I'm Malcolm Gould, alongside my broadcast partners Jim Torres and Teddy Moser. Have a great night everybody!
The fans continue to cheer as their NAW Champion disappears into the backstage and the show goes off the air.
