As "Now We Run" by Steve Vai plays through on the PA system the show opens up and the camera shows fans cheering and holding up signs. The camera shows a sign saying “Who is the new owner?” The camera then shows a second sign saying “I came to see Corey Bull.” The camera then shows a third sign saying “Jason Price isn’t my champion”. The camera then shows Malcolm Gould and Jim Torres at their announce table.
Gould: Welcome to another edition of Monday Night Meltdown we’re live at the Mr Bloom owned former NAW Arena after what was a huge Spring Breakdown.
Torres: We’ve got a new NAW champion and new NAW Tag team Championships.
******************
"Tom Sawyer" by Rush hits the PA system, and the crowd erupts in cheers. It takes quite some time though before Alex Morgan appears on the stage. He does appear, nonetheless, and he has quite the scowl compared to his normal cheery demeanor. That's not to say you can't see any glimmer of hope in his bony face though, it's clearly still there.
Gould: Welcome back to NAW, Alex! I knew you wouldn't absolutely abandon ship!
Torres: He...kinda did though, didn't he?
Gould: Shut up, Jim. This man is the reason that we're doing this right now, show him some proper respect, please.
Morgan walks down the ramp slowly, stopping midway to adjust his bowtie, a trademark that he picked up during his NAW Ownership, and it brings another small pop from the fans. He greets several fans on his way down the ramp, stopping to greet one fan in particular. A man in his 30's, with short dusty hair and a goatee. They share words, though none audible, and Alex continues a lap around the ring, making sure to greet as many of the fans as he possibly can. He climbs up th e stairs and wipes his feet on the ring apron before stepping into the ring.
Gould: This man...so many things can be said about this man.
Torres: Like what? Talentless hack, loser, nerd, do--
Gould: Seriously, just stop...
The music fades out as Morgan stands in the center of the ring, microphone in hand, waiting for the crowd to subside. They do so with respect, and he nods gracefully.
Morgan: Thank you all for coming out again tonight.
Another quick pop from the crowd.
Morgan: This has been...well...it's been a journey. You see, when I started what was once WBSW, I had high hopes for it. On multiple occasions, they thought those hopes would be dashed. I thought those hopes would be dashed. But not once did I stop, not once did I give in, and not once did I lose all of the hope within me to turn this thing into a success.
He looks down for a second, as if lost for words.
Morgan: And then we brought in two investors. Robert Martin and Isaac Bloom.
A chorus of boos erupts at the sound of Bloom's name.
Torres: Listen to these people! No respect for the genius that is Mr. Bloom!
Morgan looks back up, glancing around at the crowd.
Morgan: And now, well now look where we made it to. I've got to say, I feel like this has become a success. And it's only growing from here! That's right, this company has so much potential, and it's just waiting to pour out. And it will. I have faith in this company.
He stops again as the fans continue to cheer, some now chanting his name.
Morgan: And I know some people think that by selling the NAW, I'm taking the easy way out. But trust me, there is nothing easy about this. I fought tooth and nail to keep this place my own. That's what it is. It's my baby. It's my...my creation. I've never been good with goodbyes. But this is one I have to make.
Suddenly, "Thick is the Skin" by Skid Row hits. The crowd all looks to the stage at once to see Morgan's long time head of security appear.
Gould: Mitch Thompson is here tonight too! No way!
Torres: Great, just what I wanted to see.
Mitch stands on the stage for a few seconds before making his way down the ramp as well. He slides into the ring, taking a lap around it from inside before getting close to Morgan. The two stare at each other. Not one of hate, or rivalry, or competition. But of brotherhood. Thompson reaches a hand out for a handshake, and Morgan quickly obliges. Thompson then is handed the microphone. The crowd quiets for him.
Thompson: Alex Morgan hired me, when I was just a nobody. He saw something in me, and knew I had it in me to keep this place safe and secure. He made me the head of security here, and I'd like to think I have done a damn good job. But with the resignation of Alex Morgan, my job gets interesting. A boss I don't really care for, or even really know. It's just...it's gonna be tough without you here, man.
Morgan reaches for another handshake, but instead is treated to a hug from the monster of a man. It's a ridiculous sight, but it's real. Thompson then holds Morgan's hand high, as if Morgan had just scored a great victory.
Torres: This is piti--wait, where are you going?
We hear the thud of a headset, and the camera turns to fix on Malcolm Gould sliding into the ring as well. He also has a microphone.
Gould: I would also like to say a few words about Alex. Not only my former boss, but my companion and friend. I don't even remember where or how we met, but we both hit it off quickly after finding out the other was a wrestling fan. Most people look at you like you're ridiculous, but hey, you love what you love, right? Alex has always been one of my closest friends, and we've always kept constant contact. And I just felt the need to also personally congratulate him on getting the NAW as far as it's gotten.
The crowd continues to cheer.
Torres: Jesus, now this is just awful. Absolutely terrible.
Gould: Alex Morgan, thank you so much for all that you've done for us. You're one hell of a guy, and one hell of a boss. I wish you the best of luck, as well as Mitch Thompson, in your future endeavors.
With that, Gould drops his microphone and also embraces for a moment. We see tears streaming down the face of Morgan, as well as a few of the female fans who showed up tonight. Some of the guys are probably crying too, who knows. The three men stand in the ring, each holding the others arm up high as "Tom Sawyer" plays again.

Mr Isaac Bloom: I regret to tell you that I’m not the new NAW owner.
David Fraggle: What do you mean by you’re not the new owner? Who is?
Mr Isaac Bloom: I don’t know who it is but earlier today I got a call from lawyers saying that yes I could be the General Manager of NAW for tonight however afterwards I have to resign from the company. I was offered a very nice sum of money that I couldn’t say no to so after tonight I’m retired. The second thing that I had to sell was my shares of NAW and again I got a nice pay check for them. The next thing that the lawyers wanted was a price for this arena, at first said it wasn’t for sale but I was made an offer that I couldn’t say no to so I agreed to sell the arena. David in one moment I made enough money that I can live off of and not have to worry ever again so this is me saying goodbye.
As David Fraggle and Mr Isaac Bloom stare at each other the camera fades.

Torres: Whatever happens I think we need to see a match now.
******************
Ian Walsh vs Jack Jeckel vs Flynn McCarthy
Rebecca: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is a triple threat match!
(The crowd cheers and cameras flash)
Gould: Two newcomers get to show us what they have and Jack Jeckel gets a shot at redeeming himself in the eyes of the boss, whoever it is.
Torres: Personally, I don't care who the boss is. They will love me and thats just that.
Rebecca: Coming to the ring first, he hails from Transylvania. Standing 6'2" and weighing in tonight at 255 pounds. From the Freakshow...this is JACK JECKEL!
("Peep Show" by Droch Fhoula plays in the arena, the stage become covered in smoke, Jack emerges from the smoke, he bows his head and put his hands in a prayer position. His manager Helana emerges from the smoke and stands next to Jack. Helena walks to the ring and walks up the ring steps, then hangs upside down on the ropes before entering the ring. Jack slides into the ring, stands then leans over the ropes.)
Torres: The Jeckels are a waste of space in NAW. Its like they are on the roster just to get beaten.
Gould: Jack and Jake have show then can wrestle, now they need to really step it up in the coming weeks.
Rebecca: And his opponents, first from Masric Beach, New York. Standing 6'6" and weighing in at 275 pounds, he is the Irish Hammer.....IAN WALSH!
(Tony Iommi's guitar screams out, marking the begining of "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, as Ian slowly begins his way down the ramp with Katie in tow. He points at the crowd as the booing increases. He climbs up the steps as Katie slides into the ring. He flexes as Katie points to him. He is ready for battle. Jack walks to a corner opposite him, his eyes on Ian and the ramp.)
Rebecca: And their opponent, hailing from Wicklow, Ireland. Standing 5'10" and weighing in tonight at 177 pounds, she is the Pride of Ireland.....FLYNN MCCARTHY!
(The whispered opening lyrics of 'Going To Hell' hit the sound system-- and as soon as the song proper begins, Flynn McCarthy's hopping over the rail separating the fans from the ringside area, landing with something of a smirk. Snagging an open beer from one of the people nearest to her, the redhead's taking a swing before she's climbing up in the corner of those rails, thrusting her pilfered booze over her head to a raucous ovation. Hopping down, Flynn rummages around a bit in her cleavage before she thrusts a tenner in the hands of whoever it was she stole her drink from before she's making her way up the ring steps, the bottle drained of its remaining contents before she's tossing it over to the side. Ducking between the top and middle ropes, the energetic Irish woman plays to the fans as her music fades-- a joke here, a lewd gesture there. The fans roar their approbal of the fiery Irish lass.)
Torres: Now that right there...is great. Seeing red hot competition makes my blood boil.
Gould: I call BS, your just staring at her ass.
Torres: Yeah, who am I kidding.
Gould: Dick.
(The ref checks all three competitors, getting a smirk and raised eyebrow from Flynn, and then calls for the bell. The three competitors circle each other before Jack rushes Flynn, going for collar and elbow tie up. but Flynn does a drop toe hold and springs to her feet and drives an elbow into Jack's shoulder blades. Flynn stands and Ian spins her around and whips her into the far corner. Ian rushes her and leaps for a splash, but Flynn is moving, bouncing off the opposite ropes and when Ian hits and stumbles back, Flynn clips him with a shoulder to the back of his knee. Flynn is up and Jack hits a right, then a left and gets Flynn in the corner. Jack goes to whip her into the opposite corner, but reverses it into a belly to belly suplex. Jack is up and he starts stomping on Ian as he attempts to stand.)
Gould: Jack is trying to send a message and end this one fast.
Torres: Like his career, I see his attempt going down in flames.
(Jack pulls Ian to his feet and whips him into the ropes and attempts a clothesline, but Ian takes the hit and stands there staring at Jack. Jack off the ropes and attempts to knock Ian over again, but instead gets caught in a head and shoulder overhead suplex that sends Jack over the top rope. Ian leans into the ropes and rolls his shoulders, as he sees Flynn leaning in a corner watching the whole exchange with a smirk. The two circle each other and lock up in the center of the ring.)
Torres: I think Ian just sent Jack on a one way flight back home.
Gould: He took that fall hard. Jack is over here in front of us rolling around while Helena is tring to check on him.
(Ian muscles Flynn into a corner, where he basically chest slaps Flynn hard, even the crowd "ooohed". Flynn tries to block a second attempt, but Ian pushes her head back till she has to move her hands, then does it again. Flynn iscringing and Ian pulls her out of the corner and scoop slams her, then climbs to the second turnbuckle and jumps, driving a knee into her midsection. Cover.

Kick out. Flynn gets her shoulder up and Ian pulls her to a sitting postion and wraps a rear naked choke on her. Flynn is doing everything she can to relieve the pressure and Ian is smiling, almost as if this is pathetic. Ian stands with Flynn, pulling her to her feet. The ref is right in her face and he leg flips up and into the lower realms of Ian, who lets go and grabs his wedding tackle as he drops to his knees. Flynn is holding her throat and the top rope, trying to catch her breath and as she turns to Ian, those Irish eyes are smiling in a way you don't want them to.)
Torres: Oh god, she gets hotter as she gets madder!
Gould: Jesus, would you act like she is a wrestler at least. The woman is one tough fighter and you have drool!
Torres: Hot and able to fight...are you even heterosexual?
Gould: Bah...urr...thats upsurd to even suggest that I am not!
(Ian is on his knees as Flynn kicks him in the gut with a boot. Then another, and another, spreading them over his torso. Ian manages to stay kneeling and upright. Flynn turns, putting her dairy air in his face and doing a dirty twist of it, before running off the ropes and driving a knee into his face. Cover.

Power kick out. Ian lifted Flynn up and tosses her back a little. Flynn is fast to her feet though and as Ian stands bounces off the ropes and Lou Thesz Press's Ian and starts to pummel his face over and over again. Ian manages to roll her off of him and then below him and he starts to lay in the rights. Ian stands and stumbles away and Flynn is rolling on the floor. WHACK! Out of nowhere, JAck hits Ian in the shoulder with a chair!)
Torres: Holy sh...
Gould: NO! You'll ruin our TV time.
Torres: Where did Jack come from?!
Gould: Well he did get up and it looked as if he was heading to the back, but he grabbed a chair and slid into the ring and is looking to capitaliaze.
(Jack drives the point of the chair over and over into the shoulders of Ian. Jack walks over and slams the chair across the head and face of Flyn and then tosses the chair and poses, the boos raining down on him and Helana cheering him up. Jack picks Flynn up and hits NO LAUGHING MATTER! Cover.

Kick out! Flynn gets her shoulder up and Jack looks shocked. Jack pulls her to her feet by her hair, but Flynn breaks it and drives a right into his face. Jack returns the favor. Right from Flynn, right from Jack, right from Flynn, right from Jack....and then Ian attempts to clothesline them both, but the duck...Double Dropkick on Ian and he goes flying shoulder first into a corner! Flynn bounces up and grabs Jack as he is standing...and Plastered him! Cover.

3....no 2 1/2! Kick out! Jack manages to get it up at the last second.)
Gould: Wow, this match just got interesting as all three competitors are doing there best to finish it here.
Torres: I wonder if Flynn is interested in slightly overweight commentators?
(Flynn stands and just lays some boots to Jack. Jack pulled to his feet by Flynn, but she catches a fist to the face as Ian swings with his left arm.)
Gould: Ian looks like that right arm is hurt. You see the way he is letting it hang there?
Torres: Maybe he dislocated it?
(Ian with a left to the head of Jack and he hits the mat again. Flynn is climbing the ropes as Ian struggles to cover Jack.
1....
2....
Splittin' Headache! Flynn dived off the top rope and drove her skull into Ian's shoulder. Ian is rolling on the mat and Flynn pounces like a tiger.....BANJAX! Flynn has it locked in on that bad shoulder and Ian is screaming. He is tapping!! The ref is calling for the bell as Flynn leans back one more time hard, then lets the hold go.)
Rebecca: Here is your winner....FLYNN MCCARTHY!
Torres: She did it! My soon to be ex wife did it!
Gould: Would you stop. She is a fighter thats for sure. This woman is going to go places here in NAW.
Torres: Yeah...like my house maybe!
Gould. Ass. The EMT's have come out now and it looks like Ian has injured that shoulder as he is being helped out by the EMT's.

Corey Bull vs Theodore Justice
“Hail To The Chief” by the US Marine Band begins to play and NAW Ring Announcer Rebecca Martin walks out to the center of the ring.
Rebecca: Ladies and gentleman, this next match is scheduled for one fall. On his way to the ring first, from Washington DC….weighing 217 pounds…”The Prodigy” Theodore Justice!!
Theodore Justice comes walking out onto the entrance ramp dressed in his wrestling gear, minus the usual suit and tie ensemble he wears over it. His cousin Luke is walking behind him and the two marc straight down the ramp and towards the ring. A few fans have their hands out to slap hands with Teddy Justice but he just ignores them and climbs inside the ring. He walks up to Rebecca, who’s holding the microphone, and she holds it up to his mouth as his music stops and he looks out over the crowd.
Teddy Justice: I’m thinking that some of you people may still be in the dark as to where I stand in the NAW these days. I thought I made it pretty clear but by the looks of things you people just aren’t getting the message. I mean, I walk out from the back and here you are still holding out your hands out for me to give you high fives and you’re still holding up your ugly little babies for me to kiss…and I told you, those days are over!
The arena explodes with boos and Teddy has to pause for a moment.
Torres: Did he just say ugly little babies?
Gould: He sure did.
Teddy Justice: Tonight a new age is about to manifest in the NAW! So get ready for…
Just then, his words are interrupted by the beats of “You‘re Going Down” by Sick Puppies coming out of the sound system. The boos instantly turn into cheers and Teddy is seen yelling some words in anger as he sidesteps to the middle of the ring, keeping his eyes on the entrance ramp. The lights start to dim around the stage as a little smoke trails across it and Corey Bull walks out with his loggers chain in hand. The crowd erupts with cheers for the villainous hero.
Rebecca: And introducing next, from The Great Northwoods…..weighing 385 pounds….he is one half of the NAW Tag Team Champions….”The Hatebringer” Corey Bull!!
”Define your meaning of war
To me it’s what we do when we’re bored
I feel the heat comin’ off of the black top
And it makes me want it more
Because I’m hyped and out of control
It it’s a fight, I’m ready to go
I wouldn’t put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know”
Bull walks to the ring with his eyes focused on Teddy Justice. The fans cheer on the monster as he climbs up and into the ring. He stands in the center and raises his fist with the chain into the air
”Its been a long time coming
And the table’s turned around
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down
I’m not running
It’s a little different now
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down”
Explosions go off on the ramp in the shape of a mushroom cloud as Bull looks out over the crowd and the lights come back up. The chain is dumped over the side and he takes off the prison shirt and tosses it into the crowd, getting ready for a fight. Teddy Justice watches on from across the ring, consulting with his cousin Luke on the ring apron and appearing to be formulating a game plan as he points at Corey Bull.
Gould: This referee better keep an eye on that cousin of Teddy’s. I don’t trust him one bit.
Torres: Well it certainly changes the odds in this match, that’s for sure. In fact, hold on a second…I better call my bookie.
Bull’s music comes to a stop and the referee signals for the bell to begin the match. Justice and Bull meet in the center of the ring and Justice starts to mouth some words to Bull, who appears unphased by them. They lock up in a grapple and Bull easily walks Justice backwards into the corner. Bull then plants his foot and swings Justice over his leg with a hiptoss and Justice rolls across the mat. Justice scrambles back to his feet and charges back at Bull to initiate another grapple, but this time Justice reaches up and rakes Bull’s eyes at the last second to gain control. Bull is stunned and Justice runs to the ropes and comes jumping back with a flying forearm to stagger the bigger man backward. Bull is backed against the ropes and again Justice comes running at him, but Bull shakes the cobwebs out and steps to the side to fling Justice over the top rope with another hiptoss. Justice lands on his feet and avoids taking damage but he has a look of frustration as he slaps the ring apron with his hands.
Gould: Well so far Teddy Justice has been unable to get much started in this match.
Torres: Well just look at the size difference here Gould…Bull comes in weighing 385 pounds and Justice is 220 at best. I’ll bet Corey Bull eats steaks for dinner that weigh more than that!
Luke comes up and gives Teddy Justice a few words of encouragement and Justice rolls back inside the ring. Bull meets him in the center once more and Justice greets him with a punch to the jaw. Bull laughs it off and then Justice fires back a few more followed by a standing dropkick that Bull also shakes off. Bull grabs Justice as he’s getting back to his feet and slams him to the mat with a reverse swinging neck breaker. Justice rolls around on the mat holding his neck and Bull stays on him with a few stomps. He lifts Justice to his feet and tosses him hard into the corner with an irish whip, then Bull runs in to crush Justice with a closeline. Justice falls to the mat and rolls under the rope and to the outside floor to recover but Bull follows him out and stalks Justice as he’s getting back to his feet. Luke, Teddy’s cousin, begins to sneak around behind Bull but Bull spots him and turns to show him a clenched fist. Luke instantly raises his hands outward in an innocent fashion as if he was planning nothing. Bull turns back to focus on Justice but Justice is already on his feet and he cracks Bull with a crescent kick to the face. Bull staggers backward and Teddy hops off the bottom ring step to crack Bull with another kick to the face. Bull falls to the floor and Teddy stomps him a few more times before lifting him to his feet and rolling him back into the ring. Teddy covers Bull and the ref counts.

Kick out!
Gould: Barely a two count there.
Torres: Well maybe he was hoping for a fast count? After that Filibuster last week I’d imagine that the ref’s a little jumpy around Teddy Justice.
Justice gets to his feet and starts to go to work on Bulls right leg. He stomps it a few times and then gets down and locks in a leg grapevine. Bull easily begins to power out of it but then Justice transitions it into a regular ankle lock and tightens his grip. Bull begins to wince in pain and the referee checks for the verbal submission. Bull shakes his head no but he still struggles as Justice squeezes with all of his might.
Torres: Wouldn’t that make a huge statement of Teddy Justice could make Corey Bull tap out?
Gould: It certainly would, but I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. Corey Bull is one of the most resilient wrestlers on the NAW roster.
Torres: Yeah, well so was Gunner Hughes before tapping out and losing the UWL Championship. There’s a first time for everything.
Bull is edging himself towards the ropes and Justice senses that he will have to break the hold soon anyway so he releases it early and scrambles to his feet to stomp Bulls right leg some more. Justice then grabs Bull by the ankle again and falls backward to the mat, hyperextending Bulls leg and causing more damage.
Torres: Teddy Justice is really trying to do a number on Bull’s right leg, a smart game plan if you ask me. Take away the wheels and the monster truck isn’t quite a monster anymore.
Gould: Well surprisingly I have to agree with you, it certainly sounds like a sound strategy.
Justice runs to the rope and comes back to jump up and land on Bulls’ leg with a knee drop. He lifts Bull to his feet and attempts to lift him up for a back drop but he barely gets him up before Bull clubs him across the head with a forearm. Justice drops Bull and shakes the cobwebs out and comes at him with a punch but Bull is ready for him and he blocks the punch and floors Justice with a closeline.
Gould: Nice counter by Corey Bull!
Torres: Yeah Teddy Justice got a little careless trying for that back drop and he just paid the price.
Bull recovers a little but, shaking his leg trying to work out the kinks as Teddy Justice is getting back to his feet. Bull walks over and attempt to grapple Justice but Justice dropkicks him in the knee and sends I to the mat. Justice grabs Bull by the leg once more and rolls him over to his stomach and locks in a single leg crab. The referee checks for the submission and Teddy leans back on Bull’s leg to apply even more pressure. Bull refuses to give up however and after a few moments Luke reaches inside the ring and offers his support. He grabs Teddy’s hand and together they apply even more pressure to Bulls leg, unbeknownst to the referee. Bull grunts in pain and after a few seconds Luke releases his gasp and slips away from the ring apron just as the referee turns back around. The fans boo their disapproval as Luke turns and laughs at them.
Gould: Well that cousin of Teddy’s is sure a piece of work isn’t he?
Torres: Well I have to admit, he sure doesn’t seem like he’s playing with a full deck but nonetheless he’s an effective ally for Teddy Justice it seems. Bulls’ already taken more damage in this match than their first meeting.
Justice is yelling at Bull to tap out but Bull refuses. He looks like he’s beginning to get a little groggy from the pain and the fans begin to cheer their support.
Gould: Listen to these fans! They’re showing their support for Corey Bull!
Torres: Well he might need more than fan support Gould, Teddy Justice really has that single leg crab locked in!
Corey plants his hands on the mat and begins to push himself up into a pushup position, with Teddy Justice still on his back wrenching away at his leg. The fans continue to go crazy and Bull lets out a growl as he flings Justice forward with his legs. Justice slides to the mat but he quickly scrambles to his feet and comes back after Bull. Bull gets to his knees and nail Justice in the stomach with a huge punch, then he gets up to his feet and plants Justice hard on the mat with a FaceDive, his version of the evenflow DDT.
Torres: The FaceDive!
Gould: He just drove Teddy Justice headfirst into the mat!
Corey Bull crawls over and makes the cover.

Kick out!
Gould: No! Only a two!
Torres: Wow I gotta admit, I thought it was over there.
Bull catches his breath a bit and then lifts Justice to his feet. He sends Justice running to the ropes with an irish whip and then plants him hard on the mat again with a swinging side slam. Justice holds his back in pain and Bull continues his assault with some hard stomps of his own. Once more he lifts Justice up and this time he sends him flying through the air with a full nelson overhead suplex. Justice folds in half as he lands on the mat and his cousin reaches inside the ring and attempts to console him. Bull walks over and stomps on Luke’s fingers and he staggers backward, yelping in pain as he shakes his hands.
Torres: Did you just see that? Corey Bull just assaulted Teddy’s cousin Luke!
Gould: That was far from an assault, it was more like a message. One that says “Keep your grubby hands out of my ring!” Besides, Luke shouldn’t even be out here, he’s tried to affect the outcome of this match once already.
Corey Bull laughs at Luke and then turns to grab Justice again as he’s getting to his feet. He tosses him to the ropes one more time and drops him with another one of his signature moves, the Lights Out. Corey looks down at Justice and then to the crowd, smiling and indicating that he’s ready for the finish. He picks Teddy Justice up and begins to set him up for the Killswitch, his vertical suplex piledriver finishing move.
Gould: He’s going for the Killswitch, if he hits it this one’s gonna be over!
Torres: But here comes Luke!
Luke then comes sliding into the ring with a folded up steel chair in his hand. He winds up and prepares to swing it at Corey Bull but Bull shoves Justice to the side and lifts his boot up to floor Luke with a big boot before he can get the chair shot off. Luke drops the chair and falls to the mat and Bull picks him back up and tosses him out of the ring. Bull nurses his hurt leg a bit as he turns back around to focus on Justice again but Justice has made it to his feet and he has the chair in his hand. The referee is trying to force Justice to give up the chair but Justice pushes him aside and cracks Bull right over the head with it. Bull staggers backward and again Justice winds up and delivers a huge shot to Bull’s head. Ball falls to the mat and the referee signals for the bell.
Gould: Teddy Justice has just gotten himself disqualified!
Torres: And it doesn’t look like he’s through with Bull yet!
Justice cracks Bull across the right knee with the chair several more times. Luke then enters the ring and together they begin to lift Bull to his feet. The fans then begin to go nuts as Corey’s brother Wyatt comes charging out from the back. Teddy and Luke drop Bull and wave on Wyatt as he comes sliding into the ring. They pepper Wyatt with a barrage of punches and kicks as he enters but Wyatt is just too pumped up and he floors Teddy with a huge roundhouse. He then blocks a punch from Luke and drop him with a Butchers Block, his jumping cutter finisher. Teddy Justice retreats to the outside of the ring and reaches inside to yank his cousin Luke out from under the ropes. Teddy aids Luke and the two begin to retreat the backstage area as the fans boo them. Corey Bull is back up inside the ring and he picks the chair up, then tosses it over the ropes and it lands right at Teddy & Luke’s feet. He waves them on, challenging them to finish things but Teddy & Luke want none of it as they continue to head toward the backstage.
Gould: Corey Bull is giving those guys their chair back and they still don’t want any of the Apex Predators.
Torres: Well Teddy Justice is a strategist, not a Neanderthal like Corey & Wyatt Bull. He knows that going head to ahead with the Apex Predators tonight would be unwise. I’m sure they haven’t heard the last of him though.
Teddy Justice and Luke disappear into the backstage and The Apex Predators stand in the ring holding their arms in the air in dominance as Corey Bulls’ music plays and Meltdown ends.
Gould: Welcome to another edition of Monday Night Meltdown we’re live at the Mr Bloom owned former NAW Arena after what was a huge Spring Breakdown.
Torres: We’ve got a new NAW champion and new NAW Tag team Championships.
******************
"Tom Sawyer" by Rush hits the PA system, and the crowd erupts in cheers. It takes quite some time though before Alex Morgan appears on the stage. He does appear, nonetheless, and he has quite the scowl compared to his normal cheery demeanor. That's not to say you can't see any glimmer of hope in his bony face though, it's clearly still there.
Gould: Welcome back to NAW, Alex! I knew you wouldn't absolutely abandon ship!
Torres: He...kinda did though, didn't he?
Gould: Shut up, Jim. This man is the reason that we're doing this right now, show him some proper respect, please.
Morgan walks down the ramp slowly, stopping midway to adjust his bowtie, a trademark that he picked up during his NAW Ownership, and it brings another small pop from the fans. He greets several fans on his way down the ramp, stopping to greet one fan in particular. A man in his 30's, with short dusty hair and a goatee. They share words, though none audible, and Alex continues a lap around the ring, making sure to greet as many of the fans as he possibly can. He climbs up th e stairs and wipes his feet on the ring apron before stepping into the ring.
Gould: This man...so many things can be said about this man.
Torres: Like what? Talentless hack, loser, nerd, do--
Gould: Seriously, just stop...
The music fades out as Morgan stands in the center of the ring, microphone in hand, waiting for the crowd to subside. They do so with respect, and he nods gracefully.
Morgan: Thank you all for coming out again tonight.
Another quick pop from the crowd.
Morgan: This has been...well...it's been a journey. You see, when I started what was once WBSW, I had high hopes for it. On multiple occasions, they thought those hopes would be dashed. I thought those hopes would be dashed. But not once did I stop, not once did I give in, and not once did I lose all of the hope within me to turn this thing into a success.
He looks down for a second, as if lost for words.
Morgan: And then we brought in two investors. Robert Martin and Isaac Bloom.
A chorus of boos erupts at the sound of Bloom's name.
Torres: Listen to these people! No respect for the genius that is Mr. Bloom!
Morgan looks back up, glancing around at the crowd.
Morgan: And now, well now look where we made it to. I've got to say, I feel like this has become a success. And it's only growing from here! That's right, this company has so much potential, and it's just waiting to pour out. And it will. I have faith in this company.
He stops again as the fans continue to cheer, some now chanting his name.
Morgan: And I know some people think that by selling the NAW, I'm taking the easy way out. But trust me, there is nothing easy about this. I fought tooth and nail to keep this place my own. That's what it is. It's my baby. It's my...my creation. I've never been good with goodbyes. But this is one I have to make.
Suddenly, "Thick is the Skin" by Skid Row hits. The crowd all looks to the stage at once to see Morgan's long time head of security appear.
Gould: Mitch Thompson is here tonight too! No way!
Torres: Great, just what I wanted to see.
Mitch stands on the stage for a few seconds before making his way down the ramp as well. He slides into the ring, taking a lap around it from inside before getting close to Morgan. The two stare at each other. Not one of hate, or rivalry, or competition. But of brotherhood. Thompson reaches a hand out for a handshake, and Morgan quickly obliges. Thompson then is handed the microphone. The crowd quiets for him.
Thompson: Alex Morgan hired me, when I was just a nobody. He saw something in me, and knew I had it in me to keep this place safe and secure. He made me the head of security here, and I'd like to think I have done a damn good job. But with the resignation of Alex Morgan, my job gets interesting. A boss I don't really care for, or even really know. It's just...it's gonna be tough without you here, man.
Morgan reaches for another handshake, but instead is treated to a hug from the monster of a man. It's a ridiculous sight, but it's real. Thompson then holds Morgan's hand high, as if Morgan had just scored a great victory.
Torres: This is piti--wait, where are you going?
We hear the thud of a headset, and the camera turns to fix on Malcolm Gould sliding into the ring as well. He also has a microphone.
Gould: I would also like to say a few words about Alex. Not only my former boss, but my companion and friend. I don't even remember where or how we met, but we both hit it off quickly after finding out the other was a wrestling fan. Most people look at you like you're ridiculous, but hey, you love what you love, right? Alex has always been one of my closest friends, and we've always kept constant contact. And I just felt the need to also personally congratulate him on getting the NAW as far as it's gotten.
The crowd continues to cheer.
Torres: Jesus, now this is just awful. Absolutely terrible.
Gould: Alex Morgan, thank you so much for all that you've done for us. You're one hell of a guy, and one hell of a boss. I wish you the best of luck, as well as Mitch Thompson, in your future endeavors.
With that, Gould drops his microphone and also embraces for a moment. We see tears streaming down the face of Morgan, as well as a few of the female fans who showed up tonight. Some of the guys are probably crying too, who knows. The three men stand in the ring, each holding the others arm up high as "Tom Sawyer" plays again.

The lights go back on and a hooded figure, a fake Carmesí and a fake Cyclone are standing at the entrance way looking at the ring. The hooded figure takes off his hood and it’s TRENT BROWN!
Gould: Trent Brown is back in NAW.
Torres: I’m shocked.
The fake Carmesí and Cyclone take off their masks and it’s Jimmy Hawkins and Danny Hawkins!
Gould: And he’s with The Renegades.

As we return from commercial the camera shows Mr Bloom and David Fraggle in Mr Bloom’s office.
Mr Isaac Bloom: David on Monday Night Meltdown #50 I’ve booked The Apex Predators against The Lost family for the NAW Tag Team Championships. For this match Jason Price will be the special guest ref.
David Fraggle: Yeah that sounds great but I was wondering are you the new NAW owner?
Mr Isaac Bloom: I regret to tell you that I’m not the new NAW owner.
David Fraggle: What do you mean by you’re not the new owner? Who is?
Mr Isaac Bloom: I don’t know who it is but earlier today I got a call from lawyers saying that yes I could be the General Manager of NAW for tonight however afterwards I have to resign from the company. I was offered a very nice sum of money that I couldn’t say no to so after tonight I’m retired. The second thing that I had to sell was my shares of NAW and again I got a nice pay check for them. The next thing that the lawyers wanted was a price for this arena, at first said it wasn’t for sale but I was made an offer that I couldn’t say no to so I agreed to sell the arena. David in one moment I made enough money that I can live off of and not have to worry ever again so this is me saying goodbye.
As David Fraggle and Mr Isaac Bloom stare at each other the camera fades.

Torres: How do you do that if you don’t know who it is?
Gould: I don’t have an answer to that yet.
Torres: Whatever happens I think we need to see a match now.
******************
Ian Walsh vs Jack Jeckel vs Flynn McCarthy
Rebecca: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is a triple threat match!
(The crowd cheers and cameras flash)
Gould: Two newcomers get to show us what they have and Jack Jeckel gets a shot at redeeming himself in the eyes of the boss, whoever it is.
Torres: Personally, I don't care who the boss is. They will love me and thats just that.
Rebecca: Coming to the ring first, he hails from Transylvania. Standing 6'2" and weighing in tonight at 255 pounds. From the Freakshow...this is JACK JECKEL!
("Peep Show" by Droch Fhoula plays in the arena, the stage become covered in smoke, Jack emerges from the smoke, he bows his head and put his hands in a prayer position. His manager Helana emerges from the smoke and stands next to Jack. Helena walks to the ring and walks up the ring steps, then hangs upside down on the ropes before entering the ring. Jack slides into the ring, stands then leans over the ropes.)
Torres: The Jeckels are a waste of space in NAW. Its like they are on the roster just to get beaten.
Gould: Jack and Jake have show then can wrestle, now they need to really step it up in the coming weeks.
Rebecca: And his opponents, first from Masric Beach, New York. Standing 6'6" and weighing in at 275 pounds, he is the Irish Hammer.....IAN WALSH!
(Tony Iommi's guitar screams out, marking the begining of "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, as Ian slowly begins his way down the ramp with Katie in tow. He points at the crowd as the booing increases. He climbs up the steps as Katie slides into the ring. He flexes as Katie points to him. He is ready for battle. Jack walks to a corner opposite him, his eyes on Ian and the ramp.)
Rebecca: And their opponent, hailing from Wicklow, Ireland. Standing 5'10" and weighing in tonight at 177 pounds, she is the Pride of Ireland.....FLYNN MCCARTHY!
(The whispered opening lyrics of 'Going To Hell' hit the sound system-- and as soon as the song proper begins, Flynn McCarthy's hopping over the rail separating the fans from the ringside area, landing with something of a smirk. Snagging an open beer from one of the people nearest to her, the redhead's taking a swing before she's climbing up in the corner of those rails, thrusting her pilfered booze over her head to a raucous ovation. Hopping down, Flynn rummages around a bit in her cleavage before she thrusts a tenner in the hands of whoever it was she stole her drink from before she's making her way up the ring steps, the bottle drained of its remaining contents before she's tossing it over to the side. Ducking between the top and middle ropes, the energetic Irish woman plays to the fans as her music fades-- a joke here, a lewd gesture there. The fans roar their approbal of the fiery Irish lass.)
Torres: Now that right there...is great. Seeing red hot competition makes my blood boil.
Gould: I call BS, your just staring at her ass.
Torres: Yeah, who am I kidding.
Gould: Dick.
(The ref checks all three competitors, getting a smirk and raised eyebrow from Flynn, and then calls for the bell. The three competitors circle each other before Jack rushes Flynn, going for collar and elbow tie up. but Flynn does a drop toe hold and springs to her feet and drives an elbow into Jack's shoulder blades. Flynn stands and Ian spins her around and whips her into the far corner. Ian rushes her and leaps for a splash, but Flynn is moving, bouncing off the opposite ropes and when Ian hits and stumbles back, Flynn clips him with a shoulder to the back of his knee. Flynn is up and Jack hits a right, then a left and gets Flynn in the corner. Jack goes to whip her into the opposite corner, but reverses it into a belly to belly suplex. Jack is up and he starts stomping on Ian as he attempts to stand.)
Gould: Jack is trying to send a message and end this one fast.
Torres: Like his career, I see his attempt going down in flames.
(Jack pulls Ian to his feet and whips him into the ropes and attempts a clothesline, but Ian takes the hit and stands there staring at Jack. Jack off the ropes and attempts to knock Ian over again, but instead gets caught in a head and shoulder overhead suplex that sends Jack over the top rope. Ian leans into the ropes and rolls his shoulders, as he sees Flynn leaning in a corner watching the whole exchange with a smirk. The two circle each other and lock up in the center of the ring.)
Torres: I think Ian just sent Jack on a one way flight back home.
Gould: He took that fall hard. Jack is over here in front of us rolling around while Helena is tring to check on him.
(Ian muscles Flynn into a corner, where he basically chest slaps Flynn hard, even the crowd "ooohed". Flynn tries to block a second attempt, but Ian pushes her head back till she has to move her hands, then does it again. Flynn iscringing and Ian pulls her out of the corner and scoop slams her, then climbs to the second turnbuckle and jumps, driving a knee into her midsection. Cover.

Kick out. Flynn gets her shoulder up and Ian pulls her to a sitting postion and wraps a rear naked choke on her. Flynn is doing everything she can to relieve the pressure and Ian is smiling, almost as if this is pathetic. Ian stands with Flynn, pulling her to her feet. The ref is right in her face and he leg flips up and into the lower realms of Ian, who lets go and grabs his wedding tackle as he drops to his knees. Flynn is holding her throat and the top rope, trying to catch her breath and as she turns to Ian, those Irish eyes are smiling in a way you don't want them to.)
Torres: Oh god, she gets hotter as she gets madder!
Gould: Jesus, would you act like she is a wrestler at least. The woman is one tough fighter and you have drool!
Torres: Hot and able to fight...are you even heterosexual?
Gould: Bah...urr...thats upsurd to even suggest that I am not!
(Ian is on his knees as Flynn kicks him in the gut with a boot. Then another, and another, spreading them over his torso. Ian manages to stay kneeling and upright. Flynn turns, putting her dairy air in his face and doing a dirty twist of it, before running off the ropes and driving a knee into his face. Cover.

Power kick out. Ian lifted Flynn up and tosses her back a little. Flynn is fast to her feet though and as Ian stands bounces off the ropes and Lou Thesz Press's Ian and starts to pummel his face over and over again. Ian manages to roll her off of him and then below him and he starts to lay in the rights. Ian stands and stumbles away and Flynn is rolling on the floor. WHACK! Out of nowhere, JAck hits Ian in the shoulder with a chair!)
Torres: Holy sh...
Gould: NO! You'll ruin our TV time.
Torres: Where did Jack come from?!
Gould: Well he did get up and it looked as if he was heading to the back, but he grabbed a chair and slid into the ring and is looking to capitaliaze.
(Jack drives the point of the chair over and over into the shoulders of Ian. Jack walks over and slams the chair across the head and face of Flyn and then tosses the chair and poses, the boos raining down on him and Helana cheering him up. Jack picks Flynn up and hits NO LAUGHING MATTER! Cover.

Kick out! Flynn gets her shoulder up and Jack looks shocked. Jack pulls her to her feet by her hair, but Flynn breaks it and drives a right into his face. Jack returns the favor. Right from Flynn, right from Jack, right from Flynn, right from Jack....and then Ian attempts to clothesline them both, but the duck...Double Dropkick on Ian and he goes flying shoulder first into a corner! Flynn bounces up and grabs Jack as he is standing...and Plastered him! Cover.

3....no 2 1/2! Kick out! Jack manages to get it up at the last second.)
Gould: Wow, this match just got interesting as all three competitors are doing there best to finish it here.
Torres: I wonder if Flynn is interested in slightly overweight commentators?
(Flynn stands and just lays some boots to Jack. Jack pulled to his feet by Flynn, but she catches a fist to the face as Ian swings with his left arm.)
Gould: Ian looks like that right arm is hurt. You see the way he is letting it hang there?
Torres: Maybe he dislocated it?
(Ian with a left to the head of Jack and he hits the mat again. Flynn is climbing the ropes as Ian struggles to cover Jack.

Splittin' Headache! Flynn dived off the top rope and drove her skull into Ian's shoulder. Ian is rolling on the mat and Flynn pounces like a tiger.....BANJAX! Flynn has it locked in on that bad shoulder and Ian is screaming. He is tapping!! The ref is calling for the bell as Flynn leans back one more time hard, then lets the hold go.)
Rebecca: Here is your winner....FLYNN MCCARTHY!
Torres: She did it! My soon to be ex wife did it!
Gould: Would you stop. She is a fighter thats for sure. This woman is going to go places here in NAW.
Torres: Yeah...like my house maybe!
Gould. Ass. The EMT's have come out now and it looks like Ian has injured that shoulder as he is being helped out by the EMT's.

Corey Bull vs Theodore Justice
“Hail To The Chief” by the US Marine Band begins to play and NAW Ring Announcer Rebecca Martin walks out to the center of the ring.
Rebecca: Ladies and gentleman, this next match is scheduled for one fall. On his way to the ring first, from Washington DC….weighing 217 pounds…”The Prodigy” Theodore Justice!!
Theodore Justice comes walking out onto the entrance ramp dressed in his wrestling gear, minus the usual suit and tie ensemble he wears over it. His cousin Luke is walking behind him and the two marc straight down the ramp and towards the ring. A few fans have their hands out to slap hands with Teddy Justice but he just ignores them and climbs inside the ring. He walks up to Rebecca, who’s holding the microphone, and she holds it up to his mouth as his music stops and he looks out over the crowd.
Teddy Justice: I’m thinking that some of you people may still be in the dark as to where I stand in the NAW these days. I thought I made it pretty clear but by the looks of things you people just aren’t getting the message. I mean, I walk out from the back and here you are still holding out your hands out for me to give you high fives and you’re still holding up your ugly little babies for me to kiss…and I told you, those days are over!
The arena explodes with boos and Teddy has to pause for a moment.
Torres: Did he just say ugly little babies?
Gould: He sure did.
Teddy Justice: Tonight a new age is about to manifest in the NAW! So get ready for…
Just then, his words are interrupted by the beats of “You‘re Going Down” by Sick Puppies coming out of the sound system. The boos instantly turn into cheers and Teddy is seen yelling some words in anger as he sidesteps to the middle of the ring, keeping his eyes on the entrance ramp. The lights start to dim around the stage as a little smoke trails across it and Corey Bull walks out with his loggers chain in hand. The crowd erupts with cheers for the villainous hero.
Rebecca: And introducing next, from The Great Northwoods…..weighing 385 pounds….he is one half of the NAW Tag Team Champions….”The Hatebringer” Corey Bull!!
”Define your meaning of war
To me it’s what we do when we’re bored
I feel the heat comin’ off of the black top
And it makes me want it more
Because I’m hyped and out of control
It it’s a fight, I’m ready to go
I wouldn’t put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know”
Bull walks to the ring with his eyes focused on Teddy Justice. The fans cheer on the monster as he climbs up and into the ring. He stands in the center and raises his fist with the chain into the air
”Its been a long time coming
And the table’s turned around
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down
I’m not running
It’s a little different now
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down”
Explosions go off on the ramp in the shape of a mushroom cloud as Bull looks out over the crowd and the lights come back up. The chain is dumped over the side and he takes off the prison shirt and tosses it into the crowd, getting ready for a fight. Teddy Justice watches on from across the ring, consulting with his cousin Luke on the ring apron and appearing to be formulating a game plan as he points at Corey Bull.
Gould: This referee better keep an eye on that cousin of Teddy’s. I don’t trust him one bit.
Torres: Well it certainly changes the odds in this match, that’s for sure. In fact, hold on a second…I better call my bookie.
Bull’s music comes to a stop and the referee signals for the bell to begin the match. Justice and Bull meet in the center of the ring and Justice starts to mouth some words to Bull, who appears unphased by them. They lock up in a grapple and Bull easily walks Justice backwards into the corner. Bull then plants his foot and swings Justice over his leg with a hiptoss and Justice rolls across the mat. Justice scrambles back to his feet and charges back at Bull to initiate another grapple, but this time Justice reaches up and rakes Bull’s eyes at the last second to gain control. Bull is stunned and Justice runs to the ropes and comes jumping back with a flying forearm to stagger the bigger man backward. Bull is backed against the ropes and again Justice comes running at him, but Bull shakes the cobwebs out and steps to the side to fling Justice over the top rope with another hiptoss. Justice lands on his feet and avoids taking damage but he has a look of frustration as he slaps the ring apron with his hands.
Gould: Well so far Teddy Justice has been unable to get much started in this match.
Torres: Well just look at the size difference here Gould…Bull comes in weighing 385 pounds and Justice is 220 at best. I’ll bet Corey Bull eats steaks for dinner that weigh more than that!
Luke comes up and gives Teddy Justice a few words of encouragement and Justice rolls back inside the ring. Bull meets him in the center once more and Justice greets him with a punch to the jaw. Bull laughs it off and then Justice fires back a few more followed by a standing dropkick that Bull also shakes off. Bull grabs Justice as he’s getting back to his feet and slams him to the mat with a reverse swinging neck breaker. Justice rolls around on the mat holding his neck and Bull stays on him with a few stomps. He lifts Justice to his feet and tosses him hard into the corner with an irish whip, then Bull runs in to crush Justice with a closeline. Justice falls to the mat and rolls under the rope and to the outside floor to recover but Bull follows him out and stalks Justice as he’s getting back to his feet. Luke, Teddy’s cousin, begins to sneak around behind Bull but Bull spots him and turns to show him a clenched fist. Luke instantly raises his hands outward in an innocent fashion as if he was planning nothing. Bull turns back to focus on Justice but Justice is already on his feet and he cracks Bull with a crescent kick to the face. Bull staggers backward and Teddy hops off the bottom ring step to crack Bull with another kick to the face. Bull falls to the floor and Teddy stomps him a few more times before lifting him to his feet and rolling him back into the ring. Teddy covers Bull and the ref counts.

Kick out!
Gould: Barely a two count there.
Torres: Well maybe he was hoping for a fast count? After that Filibuster last week I’d imagine that the ref’s a little jumpy around Teddy Justice.
Justice gets to his feet and starts to go to work on Bulls right leg. He stomps it a few times and then gets down and locks in a leg grapevine. Bull easily begins to power out of it but then Justice transitions it into a regular ankle lock and tightens his grip. Bull begins to wince in pain and the referee checks for the verbal submission. Bull shakes his head no but he still struggles as Justice squeezes with all of his might.
Torres: Wouldn’t that make a huge statement of Teddy Justice could make Corey Bull tap out?
Gould: It certainly would, but I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. Corey Bull is one of the most resilient wrestlers on the NAW roster.
Torres: Yeah, well so was Gunner Hughes before tapping out and losing the UWL Championship. There’s a first time for everything.
Bull is edging himself towards the ropes and Justice senses that he will have to break the hold soon anyway so he releases it early and scrambles to his feet to stomp Bulls right leg some more. Justice then grabs Bull by the ankle again and falls backward to the mat, hyperextending Bulls leg and causing more damage.
Torres: Teddy Justice is really trying to do a number on Bull’s right leg, a smart game plan if you ask me. Take away the wheels and the monster truck isn’t quite a monster anymore.
Gould: Well surprisingly I have to agree with you, it certainly sounds like a sound strategy.
Justice runs to the rope and comes back to jump up and land on Bulls’ leg with a knee drop. He lifts Bull to his feet and attempts to lift him up for a back drop but he barely gets him up before Bull clubs him across the head with a forearm. Justice drops Bull and shakes the cobwebs out and comes at him with a punch but Bull is ready for him and he blocks the punch and floors Justice with a closeline.
Gould: Nice counter by Corey Bull!
Torres: Yeah Teddy Justice got a little careless trying for that back drop and he just paid the price.
Bull recovers a little but, shaking his leg trying to work out the kinks as Teddy Justice is getting back to his feet. Bull walks over and attempt to grapple Justice but Justice dropkicks him in the knee and sends I to the mat. Justice grabs Bull by the leg once more and rolls him over to his stomach and locks in a single leg crab. The referee checks for the submission and Teddy leans back on Bull’s leg to apply even more pressure. Bull refuses to give up however and after a few moments Luke reaches inside the ring and offers his support. He grabs Teddy’s hand and together they apply even more pressure to Bulls leg, unbeknownst to the referee. Bull grunts in pain and after a few seconds Luke releases his gasp and slips away from the ring apron just as the referee turns back around. The fans boo their disapproval as Luke turns and laughs at them.
Gould: Well that cousin of Teddy’s is sure a piece of work isn’t he?
Torres: Well I have to admit, he sure doesn’t seem like he’s playing with a full deck but nonetheless he’s an effective ally for Teddy Justice it seems. Bulls’ already taken more damage in this match than their first meeting.
Justice is yelling at Bull to tap out but Bull refuses. He looks like he’s beginning to get a little groggy from the pain and the fans begin to cheer their support.
Gould: Listen to these fans! They’re showing their support for Corey Bull!
Torres: Well he might need more than fan support Gould, Teddy Justice really has that single leg crab locked in!
Corey plants his hands on the mat and begins to push himself up into a pushup position, with Teddy Justice still on his back wrenching away at his leg. The fans continue to go crazy and Bull lets out a growl as he flings Justice forward with his legs. Justice slides to the mat but he quickly scrambles to his feet and comes back after Bull. Bull gets to his knees and nail Justice in the stomach with a huge punch, then he gets up to his feet and plants Justice hard on the mat with a FaceDive, his version of the evenflow DDT.
Torres: The FaceDive!
Gould: He just drove Teddy Justice headfirst into the mat!
Corey Bull crawls over and makes the cover.

Kick out!
Gould: No! Only a two!
Torres: Wow I gotta admit, I thought it was over there.
Bull catches his breath a bit and then lifts Justice to his feet. He sends Justice running to the ropes with an irish whip and then plants him hard on the mat again with a swinging side slam. Justice holds his back in pain and Bull continues his assault with some hard stomps of his own. Once more he lifts Justice up and this time he sends him flying through the air with a full nelson overhead suplex. Justice folds in half as he lands on the mat and his cousin reaches inside the ring and attempts to console him. Bull walks over and stomps on Luke’s fingers and he staggers backward, yelping in pain as he shakes his hands.
Torres: Did you just see that? Corey Bull just assaulted Teddy’s cousin Luke!
Gould: That was far from an assault, it was more like a message. One that says “Keep your grubby hands out of my ring!” Besides, Luke shouldn’t even be out here, he’s tried to affect the outcome of this match once already.
Corey Bull laughs at Luke and then turns to grab Justice again as he’s getting to his feet. He tosses him to the ropes one more time and drops him with another one of his signature moves, the Lights Out. Corey looks down at Justice and then to the crowd, smiling and indicating that he’s ready for the finish. He picks Teddy Justice up and begins to set him up for the Killswitch, his vertical suplex piledriver finishing move.
Gould: He’s going for the Killswitch, if he hits it this one’s gonna be over!
Torres: But here comes Luke!
Luke then comes sliding into the ring with a folded up steel chair in his hand. He winds up and prepares to swing it at Corey Bull but Bull shoves Justice to the side and lifts his boot up to floor Luke with a big boot before he can get the chair shot off. Luke drops the chair and falls to the mat and Bull picks him back up and tosses him out of the ring. Bull nurses his hurt leg a bit as he turns back around to focus on Justice again but Justice has made it to his feet and he has the chair in his hand. The referee is trying to force Justice to give up the chair but Justice pushes him aside and cracks Bull right over the head with it. Bull staggers backward and again Justice winds up and delivers a huge shot to Bull’s head. Ball falls to the mat and the referee signals for the bell.
Gould: Teddy Justice has just gotten himself disqualified!
Torres: And it doesn’t look like he’s through with Bull yet!
Justice cracks Bull across the right knee with the chair several more times. Luke then enters the ring and together they begin to lift Bull to his feet. The fans then begin to go nuts as Corey’s brother Wyatt comes charging out from the back. Teddy and Luke drop Bull and wave on Wyatt as he comes sliding into the ring. They pepper Wyatt with a barrage of punches and kicks as he enters but Wyatt is just too pumped up and he floors Teddy with a huge roundhouse. He then blocks a punch from Luke and drop him with a Butchers Block, his jumping cutter finisher. Teddy Justice retreats to the outside of the ring and reaches inside to yank his cousin Luke out from under the ropes. Teddy aids Luke and the two begin to retreat the backstage area as the fans boo them. Corey Bull is back up inside the ring and he picks the chair up, then tosses it over the ropes and it lands right at Teddy & Luke’s feet. He waves them on, challenging them to finish things but Teddy & Luke want none of it as they continue to head toward the backstage.
Gould: Corey Bull is giving those guys their chair back and they still don’t want any of the Apex Predators.
Torres: Well Teddy Justice is a strategist, not a Neanderthal like Corey & Wyatt Bull. He knows that going head to ahead with the Apex Predators tonight would be unwise. I’m sure they haven’t heard the last of him though.
Teddy Justice and Luke disappear into the backstage and The Apex Predators stand in the ring holding their arms in the air in dominance as Corey Bulls’ music plays and Meltdown ends.
