Dark Match: Five Man Battle Royal
The five guys in this match start incredibly quickly, as Kassius Hero and Braden Munroe double team White Rabbit and force him into the corner, kicking at him until he falls to his butt, then they alternate stomping on him. They do this repeatedly, and let me tell you, it's violent. Not sure how he's gonna get out of this situation.
Jean Paul on the other hand is being very strategic against Mihail Eros, throwing a few punches, but not in the manner that Mihail would be accustomed to fighting against. He whips Eros into the ropes, and as Eros comes back, Jean Paul is able to jump up and wrap himself around Eros' arm in an armbar fashion, and hold it locked in while Eros squirms about and screams in pain. He is able to club at Jean Paul's leg and is eventually let go of. Jean Paul gets to his feet quickly and Eros gets up as well, and he doesn't even see a Snap Suplex coming from Jean Paul. Jean Paul gets right back up and this time is hit from behind by Braden Munroe.
White Rabbit has the advantage over Cassius Hero now, as he forces him into a corner, then pulls him out and drops him with a quick DDT. He gets up, and Hero gets up very slowly. White Rabbit hits him with a Big Boot and covers, picking up the three count and eliminating Hero.
The crowd cheers as Jean Paul and Munroe get into a very nice back and forth with right hands coming from both men. Jean Paul ducks underneath a right hand from Munroe, and from behind is able to connect a German Suplex. He covers Munroe, but only gets a two count from it. White Rabbit on the other hand, just hit Eros with the Rabbit Stunner. He gets up and Jean Paul hits him hard from behind and covers Eros, picking up a three count!
It's down to three guys now, Munroe, Jean Paul, and White Rabbit. Paul and the big bunny double team Munroe, and he is eliminated after Jean Paul is able to lock in the Abandonner, and Munroe taps in just a couple of seconds, which leaves a one on one contest between himn and the rabbit. The two lock up, and Jean Paul sends White Rabbit to the mat with an Arm Drag. They get up and he does it again, they get up one more time and Jean Paul fakes White Rabbit out, who was preparing for another Arm Drag, but he hits White Rabbit instead with a Dropkick. He picks up white rabbit and connects with a vertical suplex, and he covers, only picking up a two count.
Jean Paul seems confused that he wasn't able to just get rid of the rabbit right away, as White Rabbit climbs to his feet. He goes for a Clothesline, but Jean Paul ducks and when the rabbit turns around, Jean Paul kicks him with an Enziguiri. He covers again, and still only gets a two count. He gets up, this time almost in disbelief, and he picks up White Rabbit, who pokes him in the eye right away. He is able to throw a few right hands and hit Jean Paul hard, forcing him to the ropes. He whips Jean Paul to the other ropes, and Jean Paul comes back and hits him with a diving Crossbody. He gets right to his feet and locks in the Abandonner, and the rabbit is able to tough it out for a while, but after a few failed attempts to get a rope break, he is forced to tap as Jean Paul wins his debut match.
Televised
We cut, then we start the now familiar video package featuring some of the best superstars in NAW. Clips of Kandi Washington, Virgil Keenan, Cthulhuson, Gunner Hughes, the Black Circle Boys, the Vice Squad, and some more superstars. The video package ends, as "Now We Run" by Steve Vai continues. We see fans in the very small Kirby Sports Complex at Lafayette College in Easton, PA. Fans are screaming, and this week we didn't have room for a pyro display. We see fans with signs again though, supporting their favorite wrestlers. We cut around the arena, and then we cut to the commentary table.
Gould: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of NAW Meltdown! We have another stacked card for you guys tonight, and can't wait to see how things pan out. I'm Malcolm Gould, alongside my broadcast partner, Jim Torres, and we are both incredibly pumped for this show!
And things start off quickly as "Paracidal Epitaph" by Demolition Hammer hits the PA System. The fans who recognize this start to cheer, and some other fans look around, discussing what they think is gonna come up. After about thirty seconds, when the vocals begin to kick in, we see a glimpse of the Madman, Joe Martinez, as he heads out onto the stage, banging his head with the tune. He smiles, as he stands on the stage, looking over the audience, who begins to cheer him on.
Rebecca: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall... Introducing first, from Aztec, New Mexico... The Madman.... Joe Martinez!
The fans cheer a little bit more as he heads down the ramp slowly, he even goes so far as to slap a couple hands. He rolls into the ring, getting up quickly and walking around the ring as he continues headbanging. He holds his right arm in the air, balled in a fist for a few seconds, and as he holds it, he slowly turns it into the familiar devil horns that you see at rock concerts all the time. Before he can finish though, his music cuts to give way to blackness throughout the arena. The camera shudder noise from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films plays, and the light synchronizes with it. After several seconds, the music begins to pick up, as we hear the blasting sound of "Chainsaw Dismemberment" by Mortician.
Rebecca: And his opponent...from Austin, Texas.... Nate Gacy!
Most of the fans remember the last show's dark match where Nate Gacy risked the life of an NAW enhancement talent, Todd Morrison. For this, he is booed heavily as he walks down the ramp, although he pays no attention to the fans. He stares at the ring, almost as though he is staring a hole through it. As Nate gets to the ringside area, he circles around the outside of the ring two times before climbing onto the apron and climbing in between the middle and top ropes. He begins walking in circles around the ring before backing into his corner.
Gould: Both of these men looked very tough in their matches last week, making quick work of their opponents, as Martinez picked up a victory, although Nate Gacy's match was tossed.
Torres: Gacy's match being tossed was bogus though, brother. Nothing wrong with a little post match message for a future opponent, right? Maybe Martinez learned something from watching that.
The bell rings, and Mark Lansing gets out of the way quickly. Martinez and Gacy circle the ring before locking arms. Gacy gets the upperhand, taking down Martinez with a quick tackle-style takedown. He holds him in a facelock then, as the two get back to their feet. Gacy quickly drops Martinez then with a quick DDT, and he hops right back to his feet, looking around evilly. Martinez is back up, too, and Gacy hits him hard with a few heavy right hands to knock him back down to the mat. Gacy walks over to Martinez, grabbing him by his crazy hair, and whips him into the ropes. Martinez bounces off and runs back, being hit hard with a back handed chop, which drops him back a few steps, then Gacy hits him with a Dropkick, totally sending him to the mat again.
Gould: The Madman can't seem to get any offense going at all, total domination by Gacy so far tonight.
Gacy knees Martinez in the ribs a few times, then bends him forward, putting the head of Martinez between his legs. He grabs either side of Martinez, getting ready to lift him for a powerbomb. He looks around, showboating a little bit to boos from the crowd, and when he finally goes to lift, he can't get Martinez off the ground. Martinez stands tall now, dropping Gacy onto his head behind him, as he looks around and pounds his chest a couple of times. Gacy is getting to his feet, somewhat stunned from the drop, and as he gets up onto a knee, Martinez kicks him hard in the chest, sending him right back to his back. Martinez gets down on one knee and starts viciously pounding Gacy repeatedly in the face. Lansing, doing his job, gives Martinez to the count of five, albeit a pretty slow count. After that, he tells Martinez he has to get off of Gacy, and reluctantly, Martinez does so. Gacy is getting back to his feet, holding his head, and Martinez whips him into the ropes, and as Gacy comes back, he plows right through Gacy hard with a huge shoulder block.
Gould: Wow! Martinez with a huge comeback that could be the game changer for this match!
Martinez gets to his feet quickly, and he backs into the turnbuckle, leaning on it as Gacy slowly gets to his feet. Gacy charges for Martinez, who sticks a boot up to meet Gacy and knock him back a few steps again. He then runs at Gacy and hits a swinging Neckbreaker, to a crowd pop for a pretty cool execution. Gacy rolls onto his stomach, in an attempt to crawl to a rope to get himself up more quickly. Martinez grabs a leg and drags him to the ring center though, as he grabs Gacy's legs and sets up a Boston Crab. He is just about to sit on it when Gacy finds enough leg strength to flip Martinez off of him, and Martinez lands hard on his back on the mat, laying for a couple of seconds to get his breath back that was just knocked out of him from landing awkwardly.
Torres: Very smart counter on Gacy's part right there, keeping things alive for him so he can get a breather in quick.
Gacy gets to his feet and looks at Martinez, who is reaching back to grasp at his spine in discomfort, and Gacy just shakes his head. He pulls Martinez to his feet, and toys with him for a little bit, just because he can, before he finally hits Martinez hard with an Uppercut, which sends him crashing to the mat hard. Gacy looks at the booing fans, and in a cocky manner, he drops an elbow right into the ribs of Martinez. He gets up, doing the same thing again, then he does it again. He keeps toying with Martinez, who is clutching his chest after the repeated elbow drops, and he kicks him in the ribs a few times. He finally decides to go for a cover.

TW--Kickout!
Gould: Martinez keeps things going for himself, definitely looking pretty tough after kicking out after this display over the last couple minutes.
Martinez slowly gets to his feet, and Gacy looks angry. He whips Martinez into the corner, then he charges after him. Martinez ducks out of the way of a corner splash, rolling toward the middle of the ring, and as Gacy comes out of the corner, groggy and dazed, Martinez is able to hit him hard with a Northern Lights Suplex, and he hops right back to his feet, the crowd definitely starting to get behind him. Gacy gets to his feet, and Martinez takes him down with an Arm Drag. This is repeated then a few times, the crowd cheering after each Arm Drag from Martinez. He finally gets up, and as Gacy comes at him, he hits Gacy hard with a boot to the chin, which puts him flat on his back.
Gould: Wow, these guys are just absolutely tearing each other apart in that ring tonight.
Torres: Yeah, they're definitely making things go pretty hard, and it makes you wonder if both of them, or even either of them is going to be able to walk out of that ring with any ease, or by themselves at all, after this is over.
Martinez marches around the ring a few times, getting the fans all riled up, Gacy is to his feet, and he is able to kick Martinez hard in the gut, then he tosses him over the top rope out of the ring roughly. Martinez hits the floor hard, and rolls over, laying right next to the apron, with one arm under it. Gacy gets out of the ring and picks up Martinez, who then throws dirt into the eyes of Gacy, temporarily blinding him. He then rolls Gacy into the ring and covers.

Martinez hops to his feet quickly as his music hits and he holds his arms high in the air after his win.
Rebecca: Here is your winner, Joe Martinez!
Torres: He clearly cheated to win! That's bogus!
Gould: I don't agree with how it happened, but I do think the better man won tonight. Joe is one hell of a competitor.
Joe Martinez heads up the ramp slowly as Nate Gacy looks up the ramp at him, clearly furious as he gets to his feet and shakes the top rope angrily as he shouts up at Martinez, who just smiles as he holds an arm high.
Scene opens to Katherine Brock getting ready for her Triple threat match with Akrista Walsh and Kandi Washington. She's just lacing up her black boots when there's a knock on the door.
Katherine: Door's open.
Much to Katherine pleasure Trent Brown walks in . He's in his normal attire of jeans, a nice long sleeve shirt this time a light blue ,gray vest and his famous flat cap. Katherine smiles as Trent speaks.
Trent: You ready for the match love? This is going to be a hard one ya know. No worres though. I got you'er back as always. That Walsh girl seems OK. She may just might doubt you'er skill. Still seems like an OK lass.
Katherine smiles as she does her best to put tape around her wrists. Though fully capable of doing things for herself putting tape on is kind of a two hand job and she somewhat struggles with it. Trent smiles and shakes his head before taking the tape from her.
Trent: Looks like ya need some help on that. I know you'er stubborn as an ox much like meself but come on and let me help ya for once.
Katherine gives a slight laughs and she knows he's right and smiles as she agrees to let him help her.
Katherine You can help me this time. Though this means I help you next time.
This time Trent laughs as he helps her get the last bit of tape on and agrees to the deal.
Trent: Ok ya got a deal . This Kandi Washington looks like a little hellcat but you and Walsh will cut her down to size. I'll make sure those goons of hers stay out of it.
Katherine does a few last stretches before the match. She jumps up and smiles as speaks one last time.
Katherine Thanks hun that means alot . Well ready or not its showtime. Let's go.
And with that Katherine and Trent leave the locker room and head to the ring for the match as the scene cuts out.
Sebastian Jankowski vs Santa Claus
We cut to the ring and we here "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine hit the system and the crowd cheers. The lights flash different colors, mostly red and white, and they pulse to the beat. As soon as the lyrics start, you see Sebastian Jankowski run from behind the curtain out onto the stage. He hops up and down several times, getting the crowd pumped for his match. He smiles as they cheer him on, and he looks around, admiring the small but loving crowd.
Rebecca: The following match is scheduled for one fall... Introducing first, from Posnan, Poland... The White-Red Kid.... Sebastian JANKOWSKI!
The crowd cheers as Jankowski runs down the ramp and rolls into the ring, holding his arms high for several seconds as the guitar starts to sound more and more like a turntable. He hops up and down several times now in the center of the ring, running to a turnbuckle and holding his arms high as the crowd cheers. He hops off and runs to the opposite corner, holding his arms high again to get an even bigger pop from the fans. The smile on his face is absolutely huge as his music fades out. After a few seconds, the fake snow starts falling again as a techno remix of "Here Comes Santa Claus" by Bing Crosby starts to play. Santa and another Mrs. Claus are seen in his sleigh, being pulled down the ramp electronically. Santa waves to each side of the arena, waving to the fans who continue to cheer him loudly.
Rebecca: And his opponent....from the North Pole.... Santa CLAUUUS!
The crowd cheers loudly yet again for him as he gets out of the sleigh, grabbing a few wrapped boxes and walking around the ring, handing them to some of the younger fans in the crowd. The kids getting the presents smile, and he gives them all a slight ruffling of their hair as they get excited for gifts. He then climbs into the ring, and looks at Sebastian, who is just too ready for this match to see the smiles on the kids' faces, wanting to give them a smile for him as well.
Gould: Wow... Sebastian Jankowski jsut looks absolutely pumped up for this match, Jim. I'm not sure how Santa will fare, with Jankowski in such a focused mode.
Torres: True, but the thing that people are forgetting is that Jankowski doesnt have the best ring skills in the company, you know? He's alright, but he's not spectacular in there. So we'll see how it turns out, but I've got my reservations.
Mark Lansing looks at both competitors, each of them giving him a nod as they stare each other down from their corners. He nods back and calls for the bell as the match begins. The two men move in toward the ring center and Santa goes for a lockup, but a smart Jankowski knows how it will turn out, and ducks under it, instead trying to wrap his arms around Santa's waist to lift him for a belly to belly Suplex. Santa just shakes his head as Jankowski tries and fails miserably to lift him, and he hits Jankowski in the spine with a quick Double Axe Handle, which just causes Jankowski to collapse face first to the mat. Santa picks him up and lifts him, sending him to the mat on his back this time with a Scoop Slam. He then runs to the ropes, coming back and landing a Leg Drop right to Jankowski's throat. Jankowski rolls around the ring for a few seconds, holding his throat trying to catch his breath as Santa gets back to his feet and adjusts his outfit a little bit to make it more comfortable.
Gould: Wow, Santa is making this look way too easy!
Santa grabs Jankowski by the hair and throws some quick right handed jabs at Jankowski, but after a few, Jankowski catches his hand and shoves him back a few steps. He kicks Santa in his stomach repeatedly, not getting a whole lot done, but after each step, Santa is forced to back up. He finally gives Santa a swift kick to the shin, which does take him down to one knee. As he sees the opening he's given himself, Jankowski runs to the far ropes, coming back in hope of hitting a Dropkick, but Santa rolls out of the ring quickly, and Jankowski misses, also leaving the ring, bt with a little less grace as he lands roughly on his back on the outside. Santa picks Jankowski up and rolls him into the ring, and Jankowski gets up as Santa slides himself back in. While Santa is still down, Jankowski takes this chance to get a few quick stomps in, hoping to keep Santa down long enough to put in a little offense.
Torres: Some people think it's a cheap shot, but that's smart by Jankowski.
Gould: For once i'm inclined to agree with you, Jim. Jankowski has to do everything possible in order to keep the match going, and he definitely has to start getting his own offense in if he wants to have a shot at all of winning this match.
It works, and Santa is down for a few seconds, so Jankowski can get some kicks to the ribs in as well before Santa can get up. As Santa does climb to his feet, Jankowski runs to the other ropes, and this time successfully dropkicks old Saint Nick and sends him tumbling hard onto the mat. Jankowski hops to his feet now, clearly excited to get things rolling good. He picks Santa up, hops into the air, and sends Santa across the ring with a headscissors that leaves the crowd screaming in excitement. Jankowski swings his arms up and down in an attempt to get the crowd even louder, and as Santa gets up, Jankowski charges, connecting with a huge running DDT, which causes Santa not only to be planted face first into the mat, but also to do a full front flip and lay on his back. Jankowski quickly gets to his feet, looking around at the fans and nodding his head. He runs over and covers Santa quickly.

T--Santa powers out of the pin, sending Jankowski high in the air and across the ring, he pushed him off with such force. Santa gets to his feet, as does Jankowski, and the two men share a staredown. Jankowski runs at Santa, who is able to level Jankowski out with a quick Clothesline, as Mrs. Claus smiles and claps her hands, getting the fans into it. Jankowski gets up and ducks another clothesline, instead kicking Santa in the stomach and then hitting him hard with an Enziguiri that absolutely flattens him. Jankowski climbs to the top rope and sits on the top turnbuckle, waiting for Santa to get up. As he does, Jankowski dives off, going for a diving headscissors. He puts his legs pefectly over Santa's shoulders and tilts the move, and Santa is forced to roll with it. Suddenly, Santa grabs Jankowski's legs and slams him to the mat with a huge 180 Powerbomb! Jankowski is absolutely lifeless for a few seconds after the huge slam, and Santa actually drops down to one knee from the force of the move. Mrs. Claus also looks very shocked at it.
Crowd: This is awesome *clap clap-clap clap clap*
Torres: Holy hell, Gould, did you see that fabulous counter? And the crazy thing about this is that both men look to have taken a lot of damage from it!
Gould: Yeah, that move was absolutely huge, and it could mean the end of the match coming soon if Jankowski is as out of it as he looks to be.
Santa gets to his feet slowly, and Jankowski leans on the second rope, staying down on one knee to avoid too much strain. Santa sort of limps over and starts laying a few right hands onto the forehead of Jankowski, then he whips him into the opposite ropes. Jankowski comes back and hits Santa hard with a jumping elbow strike. He gets back up and starts pumping the crowd to get real loud, then he smiles as he pulls Santa away from any ropes. He jumps up onto the top rope and does a huge backflip off, looking for a Moonsault, but Santa rolls out of dodge just in time!
Gould: Jankowski almost had the Moonsault in!
Torres: Well, almost doesn't exactly do anything in his favor when it comes right down to it. Looks like he needs to learn to be a little more careful next time.
Santa gets to his feet slowly and looks at the downed jankowski. He picks him up and whips him to the ropes. When Jankowski comes back, Santa is able to hit the Yuletide Cheer, and he covers quickly.

We come back from the commercial to see the commentary table. Malcolm Gould and Jim Torres are sitting there.
Gould: We have just received word that Mitch Thompson would not actually be making it to the arena tonight due to the weather, but the announcement has come through that he will be placed on the inactive roster.
Torres: That's right. He did have a short history of back problems, but it was never anything to worry about. Doctors said that he would have to made inactive indefinitely while he rehabilitates it, but it won't be a permanent move. And he will remain part of the security staff, which is a huge plus.
Akrista comes out to the crunchy bass line of "Nice n Sleazy", wearing a gray trench coat over her ring attire, not through the main entrance, but moving amongst the fans. The lights have a gray filter, and a moderate amount of smoke fills the space. A look of cold determination on her face, she ignores everyone around her, cheering and booing. Placing one hand on the barrier, she vaults over, and makes her way to the ring edge. Jumping onto it, she flashes a quick smile to the crowd, but it’s the smile of a predator. Hopping over the top rope, she drops her trench coat to the mat and stretches, waiting for her opponent. Interesting side note: She was accompanied to the ring by Sebastian Jankowski, who still looks exhausted from his match with Santa Claus earlier.
Gould: My money is on Akrista. She seems to want revenge on Kandi and who can blame her? She’s worked too hard to be where she’s at and she feels Kandi is setting women back.
Torres: Do you honestly believe that? Kandi is simply doing what is best for Kandi!
“Fastest Girl In Town” by Mranda Lambert hits as Katherine Brock makes her way to the ring in a normal fashion, climbs the steel steps and steps into the ring.
Torres: Kat has an equal chance in winning this one too.
Gould: I agree and if the partnership between these ladies works well, they might have the advantage in this match.
“Get Naked” hits the p.a. system and Kandi Washington struts out from the back with a flesh colored two-piece halter top, and booty shorts with white stiletto heel boos. She stops at the top of the ramp and has her two championships draped down her shoulders. She has Ice to her immediate right as she looks down at the ring, slowly sliding her titles off from her shoulders. She hands them over to Ice and she sets them on her wrists as Kandi places her hands down on her hips. She struts down the ramp to the sounds of boos and chants of “whore” as she makes her way to the ringside area. She stops at the apron and flips her hair over the shoulder as she turns toward the steel stairs. She flips her hair once more and starts up the steps as her heels click against the metal. She makes her way on the apron and lowers her body down as she steps under the second rope. She motions for her opponents to step aside as she walks to the middle and raises her arms. Ice enters the ring with both titles over her shoulders and arms folded across her chest. Kandi purses her lips and blows a kiss to her opponent. She turns around and walks over to the ropes, leaning back against them, and her elbows rested against the top rope. Ice makes her way out as the ladies just glare at each other.
Torres: She must be known for winning since she’s pretty dominating in the other regions of the UWL league. I think she could very well win this match.
Gould: But like Akrista and Kat have both pointed out, how many times did she need the outside assistance of her bodyguards?
Gould: The referee has just called for the bell and both the ladies are staring a hole in Kandi. I wonder if she’s feeling hot yet.
Torres: This doesn’t look like an ideal situation for the self-proclaimed First Lady.
Akrista and Kat both start to make their way toward Kandi as they race her in the corner. They both start to open up with socks and punches to her head as she is forced down in the corner. They grab a hold of the ropes and repeatedly punch away at the top of Kandi’s head and all Kandi tries to do is cover up. The referee manages to pull Kat away, but Akrista refuses to stop.
Torres: Akrista better be careful she doesn’t get herself disqualified.
Akrista leans down and grabs Kandi by a handful of her blonde locks and calls Kat over. They each grab an arm and flips her back with a double suplex. Kat runs off the side ropes with an impressive leg drop. Akrista then positions herself on Kandi’s chest and starts to clobber her with punches to the face. Kandi covers up as the referee grabs Akrista up off from her chest. As Akrista is torn away, Kat lifts her up and shoves Kandi’s legs in between her legs. As she tries to lift Kandi up, but Kandi reverses it with a body drop. As she turns around, Akrista runs up behind her with a double forearm shot to her back.
Gould: The number’s gain is really starting to take their toll on the early going of this match. I think Kandi can kiss this match goodbye.
Torres: I am afraid you’re right. Akrista is relentless in her attack.
Akrista is connecting boots to the back as Kat staggers up to her feet. They both help Kandi up to her feet and whip her into the corner. Kat grabs Akrista and whips her into Kandi, but Kandi gets an elbow to her face. Akrista falls back to one knee and Kat runs at Kandi, but Kandi takes her down with a clothesline. Akrista turns around and connects with a boot to the midsection of Kandi. Kandi stumbles backwards and Akrista runs at her with a spear.
Torres: I think Kandi may have been broken in half.
Gould: Akrista is going for the cover!

Kat breaks up the three count. Akrista stares at her and Kandi is rolling out of the ring.
Gould: Oh no, they are arguing about who was going to pin Kandi. Kat goes to turn around and Akrista grabs her into a cobra clutch submission hold.
Torres: And she just drilled Kat face first into the mat with a cobra clutch bulldog.
Kandi has managed to get up to her feet on the outside as she’s staggering around the ring. Akrista slides out and they begin running around the ring post. As Akrista goes to almost catch her, Kandi reenters the ring, but as Akrista runs around the one ring post, Ice catches her with a thunderous clothesline that nearly beheads her.
Gould: The referee didn’t see that! What the heck ref!?
Torres: Akrista looks a bit dazed. This might be the opening Kandi needed.
Kat is holding her neck and Kandi lifts her up by the hair. She whips her into the ropes, but as Kat bounces off the ropes she takes Kandi down with a dropkick. She holds her chest as ravels in pain. Kat stands up to her feet and lifts her up, she tucks Kandi’s head in between the legs and lifts her onto her shoulders.
Gould: POWERBOMB!
She goes for the cover, 1 – 2 – Kandi manages to get a shoulder up at the last minute. Akrista is managing to get up to her feet, but still feeling the effects of that clothesline, and reenters the ring while Kandi is arching her back off the mat. Akrista sees the opening and quickly locks in the gogoplata.
Torres: This deadly move can put Kandi out for sure!
Kandi tries to fight out of it, but Kat comes behind Akrista and grabs her by the ears. Akrista breaks the hold and Kat is lifting her up backwards. Akrista battles out of it with elbows to the midsection. Kat breaks the hold and she turns around as Akrista runs at her with a leg scissors takedown. Kat rolls up to her feet and as she kneels up, Akrista runs and connects with a shining wizard!
Gould: Oh my God! Oh my God! Akrista has just taken out Kat.
Akrista goes to turn toward Kandi, but Kandi meets her with blows to the midsection. Kandi is up to her feet and she clasps her hands through Akrista’s hair and slams her backwards with a mat slam. She stands on Akrista’s hair and yanks up on her wrists as Akrista is shrieking in pain.
Torres: The referee is trying to force her to break the hold.
She manages to break the hold and walks over to the corner as she begins to climb to the top rope. She slouches down as Akrista begins to climb up to her feet. As she turns around, Kandi leaps off the top rope with a top rope crossbody.
Gould: THE CENTERFOLD!
Torres: She rolled up her too. She has a handful of tights!

Gould: Kandi has just stolen one!
After the match, Akrista then pounces on Kandi as she starts to relentless pound away at the back of Kandi’s head. Kandi is screaming as she’s in the feeble position and covering up her head. She tries to escape, but Akrista is screaming and pounding away with both fists. Ice enters the ring and right before she goes to grab her, Kat charges her with a running clothesline, but it hardly takes the big woman down.
Torres: Trent has just slid a chair in, but Ice grabs it!
Ice swings it, but Kat uses it against her as she sends Ice flying with a dropkick to the steel. Akrista becomes distracted and Kandi quickly slides out of the ring. She stumbles to the back and Akrista grabs Ice’s arms and neck.
Gould: The Gogoplata on Ice! Ice is tapping!
Kandi is walking backwards up at the ramp as she’s gripping the sides of her hair and Kat grabs the feet of Ice as she locks in a figure lock.
Torres: Ice is being punished for sticking her nose in this match. Anyway, we'll be right back everyone!

Backstage, “Mister Terrific” Scotty Blazer was chasing down Alex Morgan and caught him by the armBlazer: Mister Morgan.
Morgan: Hey, Scotty. I’m sure you’re here about getting onto the card tonight...
Blazer shook his head.
Blazer: Not at all. I actually have a thought about my future with the company.
Morgan: Okay, shoot.
Blazer: I want a match at the next PPV.
Morgan: Anything in particular?
Blazer: I want a one on one match with anyone on the roster, with the idea being that if I win I get a title shot.
Morgan: You’ve put together a very impressive record here Scotty, but it may be too soon for a World title shot.
Blazer: Not that one.
Morgan: Well, we could talk about a tv title shot..
Blazer: Tag title shot.
Morgan: I’m sorry?
Blazer grinned.
Blazer: I want a tag title shot.
Morgan: Did you pick up a partner somewhere when I wasn’t looking?
Blazer: Not yet. Let’s say it’s me and a partner of my choosing against whoever the tag team champions are. Is that fair?
Morgan: You know what? I’ll definitely think about it. Everyone does love a good mystery.
Blazer grinned and shook Morgan’s hand.
Blazer: Terrific.
As Blazer left, Alex shook his head.
Morgan: Mystery tag partner....I really do like that idea.
Alex scratches his chin as we cut to the arena.
Virgil Keenan vs Patrick Sparkman
"Yonkers" blasts over the arena speakers as Virgil Keenan appears on the stage. He holds an arm high to a mixed reaction from the small crowd, and wastes no time looking around before heading down the ramp.
Rebecca: The following match is part of a "Beat the Clock" Challenge, between Gunner Hughes and Virgil Keenan. The man to beat his opponent or beat his opponent in the shortest amount of time will get to pick the stipulation for the NAW Championship match at Spring Breakdown! Introducing first, Virgil Keenan!
Virgil slides into the ring and walks around it inside for a lap or two, awaiting the opposition, as "Everybody's Dixie" signals that arrival. The banjo licks are heard loudly throughout the arena and we see Patrick Sparkman appear onstage in his Confederate Army garb, waving a Confederate flag proudly. Not aggressively, but proudly. He smiles and waves to the crowd who buries him in boos. He just shakes his head as he comes down the ramp slowly.
Rebecca: And his opponent...the Southern Gentleman... Patrick Sparkman!
Sparkman sets his flag up in his corner and climbs up the ring steps, bowing to the crowd before getting into the ring between the top and middle ropes. He smiles as he waves to the fans courteously, and they continue to boo him.
Torres: This crowd is so rude, he's bowing, greeting, waving, all of that, and they still boo him! It just isn't right, Gould.
The fans start to all look towards the entrance ramp as somebody appears to have just walked out on the entrance ramp.
Gould: Hey, it’s the NAW Champion!
Torres: Yeah, and he coming this way too.
Gould: Well I guess he wants to come out and get a closer look at the number one contender Virgil Keenen and see how he fares in their “special challenge” that they have going tonight.
Gunner Hughes heads down the aisle, much to the approval of the fans. They cheer as he walks around the ring and towards the announce table and Virgil notices him from inside the ring. Virgil walks over and tosses a few of his trademark f-bombs Gunner’s way as he points at the NAW Championship around his waist. Gunner stops for a moment and returns fire.
Gunner: “Spring Breakdown junior…..you’ll have your shot!”
Gunner pats the faceplate of his NAW Championship, then he walks over and takes a seat next to Malcom Gould at the announce table and grabs a headset as Virgil goes back to business inside the ring.
Gunner: Hey fellas, how’s it going tonight?
Gould: Not too bad champ, good to see you.
Torres: Yeah same here. What brings you out here anyway?
Gunner: Hey Jimbo….it doesn’t sound like you’re too happy to see me out here? What, a champion can’t come out and do a little scouting on is future opponent?
Torres: Hey I’ve got no problem with you being out here at all Gunner…you’re the NAW Champion you can do whatever you want. I’d just hate to see you waste valuable time out here when you could be getting ready for your big champion versus champion matchup with Cthulhuson.
Gunner: “Well thanks for your concern Torres, but I think I’ll survive. For now, I just want to sit here and see if Virgil Keenan’s bite is really as devastating as his bark.
The match starts now, and the two men lock up in the center of the ring. Virgil sends Sparkman to the mat with a quick takedown, and they both get up, this time Virgil hits him with a Clothesline. He smiles and turns to see Sparkman getting up, and he hits him hard with a huge right hand, followed by a few more, which force Sparkman back into one of the ropes. He whips Sparkman into the opposite ropes, and when Sparkman comes back, Virgil hits him with a Dropkick. He gets right back up, strutting around the ring arrogantly, then he goes to the corner. Sparkman gets to his feet and Gunner charges at him, hitting him hard with a lariat, and getting a quick cover over Sparkman.

Kickout!
Virgil gets up and looks over at the commentary table, and Gunner holds his hands up innocently. Virgil turns around, and receives a kick to the ribs from Sparkman. This is followed up by a vertical Suplex, and Sparkman has control of the match now. He gets over Virgil on one knee and throws some right hands until Higgins forces him back, and Sparkman obliges. Virgil is to his feet and Sparkman throws a hard right hand, and when Virgil comes back toward him, Sparkman grabs his arm and pulls him to the mat with an armbar. Virgil is quick to grab a handful of the bottom rope though, as Higgins instantly forces a break.
Gould: Great ring awareness by Virgil there to get to the ropes before any real damage can be done to his arm.
Torres: Yeah, this kid is definitely great at what he does. How you feeling right now, Gunner?
Gunner: Yeah I’ll give him credit…he’s definitely showing right now why Alex Morgan chose him to face me at Spring Breakdown for the NAW Championship. Let’s just hope for his sake that he can keep this momentum going because Sparkman is certainly not done yet.
Virgil gets to his feet quickly and Sparkman misses a clothesline. Virgil turns around and throws some heel kicks at Sparkman, who eventually falls to the mat, and Virgil goes to the top rope, an uncommon occurrence for him. He comes back down with an elbow drop and a cover.

Kickout!
Virgil gets up and looks around quickly as he picks Sparkman up, sending him immediately back down with an Uppercut that could be heard throughout the arena. Sparkman slowly gets to his feet and Virgil runs behind him, coming back and kneeing him hard in the back of the skull with the S.A.F! Virgil immediately locks in the Texas Cloverleaf, and though Sparkman fights it the whole time, constantly trying to roll over onto his back, it doesn't work very well, and he is forced to tap within seconds.
Rebecca: Here is your winner, in three minutes and twenty one seconds...Virgil Keenan!
Virgil gets up and smiles and nods at Gunner, who just stares up at him.
Gunner: Pretty impressive showing from the number one contender here, I have to admit. In fact I’ll even go as far as saying that he could even be the second best wrestler in the NAW. He’s finally enjoying the spotlight that he’s always wanted right now, and I hope he really takes his time to bask in it. Because at Spring Breakdown I’m going to send him right back to the end of the line where he started….and then he’ll really have something to complain about. Anyway, good evening guys…enjoy the rest of the show.
Gunner stands up and removes his headset, the he shakes hands with some of the fans sitting at ringside as he makes his way back up the aisle way and disappears into the back as we go to commercial.

The camera shows backstage where “The Very Good” David Fraggle is looking right at the camera with “Sideshow” Euan Dante and White Rabbit behind him.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: Hello my brothers and sisters it is The V-List and White Rabbit. Tonight is about finishing what we didn’t want to start. We’re finishing something that was forced upon us and then we’re focusing on what we really wanted. Tonight we finish things between Sideshow and Marco and then we move onto The Vice Squad. Tonight is a night where Sideshow will show no mercy and he will get his revenge over his enemy.
“Sideshow” Euan Dante laughs.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: That’s right laugh my little Sideshow because the best is still to come. Vice Squad I want to introduce myself to you properly. My name is “The Very Good” David Fraggle and I’m the only one not called Gunner Hughes who has been there and done that. People have looked at me in the past and said that I would never achieve anything but I proved them all wrong. Vice Squad this is the part where I want you to turn your monitor volume up louder because it‘s going to change whatever you felt for us before now. For the past five months I’ve heard fans cheer me, however it’s because they saw a man go from nothing and become something, they must have thought that I was an inspiration to them. To be honest it felt very nice at first but now I understand something. It was my own personal hardwork that got me to the stage where I’m at tonight and not what they thought of me. I never needed them to make a name for myself and I can continue to keep making a name for myself without them liking me.
“Sideshow” Euan Dante: Vice Squad you like the fans supporting you, but the fact of the matter is that’s not what we want. We want to be remembered for us overcoming all of the obstacles that were thrown at us and that’s exactly what we’re doing. We’re coming right for you and we’re going to be the ones who take you out of the wrestling business forever.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: That gives me an idea Sideshow. Lance carter I’m challenging you to a one on one match on the next Meltdown. I want you and the stupid fans to see that I’m my own monster and that nobody can stop me or The V-List.
as the scene fades "The Very Good" David Fraggle spits red mist at the camera.
Gunner Hughes vs Cthulhuson
We are back in the main arena, and the crowd is explosive. Suddenly, the lights dim quite a lot, and the crowd looks around, fans just looking at one another. Suddenly, the violins of Clint Mansell's "Lux Aeterna" play over the PA system. After just a couple of seconds, Raven Bellatrix is seen coming from behind the curtain, with the torches from the last show. She does the same with them this time as she did the last, and the crowd don't seem all that fond of her.
Gould: Here is Raven Bellatrix, the uh...lovely manager and valet of Cthulhuson.
Torres: Why the hesitation? She looks damn sexy tonight. And look at her dancing!
Virgil: What I find more intriguing about the whole scenario is how someone gets away naming their daughter that. Also this is a fire hazard, are we that trusting in her fire juggling abilities? I sure the fu-
Gould: Please Virgil if you're going to be out here you can't swear! .
Virgil: hmph
She continues this for a while, much to the chagrin of the crowd, and shortly after, Cthulhuson himself appears, TV Title wrapped around his waist. He looks around, observing the crowd, and just staring. He looks around for a few seconds more, while Raven dances around him still juggling the torches. The two actually walk down the ramp this way, until they part ways, as Cthulhuson goes toward the ring steps. He looks at a few fans who suddenly bow down to him, appearing to be sarcastic about it. He shakes his head as he gets into the ring.
Rebecca: The following match is part of a Beat the Clock Challenge between Virgil Keenan and Gunner Hughes. The man who beats his opponent or does so in the quickest time will get to pick the stipulation of their match at Spring Breakdown! Introducing now, the Television Champion... Cthulhuson!
Virgil: And that it is. I'm sure you're all going to be very curious to see what I pick.
Torres: If you win right?
Virgil: Like I said, you must be curious what I'm going to pick.
Cthulhuson hands is belt to Eddie Higgins and then he takes off his robe, handing it down to Raven. He walks over to his corner as we hear a shotgun blast that catches everybody off guard. Suddenly, we hear "Dead Man Walking" by Bloodsimple hit over the system, and the fans start to cheer loudly.
Gould: And here comes our NAW Champion!
Virgil: Wait, what's this here?
Gould: wait, what? HEY don't touch that!
The music plays for a while more, and suddenly, we see Gunner Hughes on the stage, holding his arms up. He has two championship belts draped over either shoulder, the NAW Championship over his left, the UWL International Championship over his right. He stands on the stage for a while as the fans keep cheering him on, and we can tell who the fan favorite is in this match. Gunner walks down the ramp slowly, keeping an eye on Cthulhuson the whole time.
Rebecca: And his opponent, he is the UWL International Champion, and the North Atlantic Wrestling Champion.... Gunner Hughes!!
Virgil: "More like Gunner Snooze."
With that Hulu and Gunner and even Virgil himself jump a little. Keenan has picked up and started announcing through a near hand operated microphone that's always handed out when someone requires to speak. Gunner doesn't look amused in the least as he stares down the Number one contender who retorts with a huge cheek to cheek grin.
Virgil: "Oh this is going to be fun...."
Torres: You can't just talk through that the whole match!
Gould: Yeah, isn't that a little distracting?
Virgil: Very much so Gould, you're a keen fellow.
Gunner goes to his corner irked as Cthulhuson stands in his, remaining patient. Higgins calls for the bell, and the match starts. The two lock up, with Gunner sending Cthulhuson to the mat with a quick takedown. They get back up and lock up again, Gunner s0ending Cthulhuson to the mat yet again. Gunner is up and Cthulhuson runs at him as Gunner sends him down with a hip toss. He gets back up and this time catches a boot to the head which keeps him down for a few seconds. He drops down and covers Cthulhuson.
ON--Kickout.
Virgil: KICK OUT, OH MY GOD GOULD DID YOU SEE THAT, AMAZING!
Gould: I, uhh, well it's just a kick out. match is only a few seconds long...
Gunner gets up glaring intensely at Keenan who is giddily yelling out the play by play. Cthulhuson takes a lil more time to his feet giving Gunner time to refocus from the obvious distraction. Gunner whips Cthulhuson into the corner, and walks over, throwing an elbow that catches Cthulhuson right in the side of the head. Cthulhuson staggers out of the corner, and Gunner takes several steps back. When Cthulhuson reaches him, Gunner sends him to the mat quickly and viciously with a Powerslam.
Gould: Wow, Gunner seems to be absolutely dominating this match up. He could have Cthulhuson beat in a couple of minutes.
Virgil: it's times like these where I wish Hulu didn't suck so much.
Torres: didn't he beat you?
Virgil: If by beat you mean he tapped out like a little bitch then yeah, sure.
Cthulhuson gets up slowly, and Gunner grabs him by the mask, pulling him to his feet, doing his best to ignore the vocal onslaught in his ears. Gunner goes to set up for a Suplex, but Cthulhuson punches Gunner in the side a few times, forcing him to let go. Gunner has no time to react before Cthulhuson trips him up, sending him to the mat. Cthulhuson starts trying to lock in a headlock, but Gunner doesn't allow it to happen. Cthulhuson gets to his feet before Gunner can, and starts stomping on Gunner in an attempt to keep him off of his feet. Gunner slowly does get up, still being stomped by Cthulhuson. He turns the stomps into kicks though, getting Gunner hard in the sternum, which takes him back down and knocks the wind out of him.
Gould: And now some offense from the TV Champ.
Torres: I don't think that this is gonna bode well for Hughes. If you let this guy get in any kind of offense, it makes him an absolute animal.
Virgil: So on a scale from 1 to Patrick Sparkman, how bad do you think Gunner Hughes is?
Torres: I don't know if tha-
Virgil: Trick question, the answer was actually 'terrible'. Close guessing though.
Cthulhuson picks Gunner up and whips him into the ropes, and as Gunner comes back, he is met with a Dropkick from Cthulhuson. He gets back up and starts laying into Gunner with a bunch of right hands, the crowd starting to boo him loudly. He gets up, and as Gunner is up, Cthulhuson hits him hard with kicks to the shins to keep him off of a vertical base. He gets around to behind Gunner and locks his arms from the sides, lifting him quickly and connecting with a Tiger Suplex, which holds Gunner down for a couple seconds as Cthulhuson also rolls through with it. He hops right back up and drops down to cover Gunner now.

Kickout!
Gould: Wow, Gunner is just not letting Cthulhuson get any progress made in this match at all, is he?
Virgil: Hey, hey, hey, Hulu, buddy, got a tip for you, how about you stop sucking? That something you could do for me?
Gunner grabs Cthulhuson by the mask, whips him into the ropes, and as Cthulhuson comes back, Gunner kicks him hard in the head with his patented boot, the Buckshot. He covers Cthulhuson, staring at Virgil the whole time.

Vice Squad vs AKN
This match is written from the perspective of Malcolm Gould
Hey guys, our TV deal kinda sucks, so we have too many commercials for our matches, something had to be cut out, and somehow, this is the match that got that, shockingly. Both teams entered to a moderate to high level of cheering from the fans in Easton. The Vice Squad held their belts high for the fans to see, giving them the edge as far as fan support was concerned.
Spade and Sharpe started the match against each other, locking up and Spade taking an early advantage with a whip to the other ropes and a Clothesline. He makes a quick point to grab Sharpe and send him back to the mat with a Scoop Slam. He gets up and hits Sharpe with another Clothesline, and as Sharpe gets up, Spade hits him with a left hook, knocking him onto one knee, then a left-right-left kick combo, followed by a Spinning Heel Kick to the temple, and I'm pretty sure that Sharpe is out of it. Spade covers, but only gets a one count out of it before Lance Carter is in the ring to save the match. He gets out as Lansing tells him to, so Leon doesn't feel a need to hop into the match or anything. Keeping things civil is awesome.
Spade dominates for a couple minutes, and eventually whips Sharpe into his team's corner, tagging in Leon, and the two alternate kicks for about five seconds before Spade leaves the ring. Corella goes for a huge right hand to Sharpe, who ducks out of the way and is able to quickly turn around, and as Leon turns around, Sharpe kicks him hard in the side of the head with a wheel kick. Sharpe slowly gets up, and Leon looks more off guard than anything. Leon is to his feet and Sharpe ducks another Clothesline, coming back and jabbing Leon in the ribs a few times to knock him back a couple of steps. He runs to the ropes and comes back, hitting Leon with a high knee that puts him hard on the mat. Sharpe holds an arm high as he runs to the nearest turnbuckle. He climbs up and turns, diving off and landing a diving elbow drop right into Leon's chest, as he covers.

Kickout!
Leon gets up now and the two men stare each other down as Sharpe backs up and tags in Carter. Carter whips Leon into the ropes, and he is met by Sharpe with a Diving Crossbody, and Carter slips in easily for a cover, but Leon kicks out of it almost instantly. Sharpe rolls out of the ring as Carter throws some more hard jabs to Leon's ribs before whipping him into the ropes and hitting him with a Dropkick of his own. Leon goes down hard and Carter picks him up, then headbutts him. Carter immediately drops an elbow onto him, getting more and more of a small cheer growth with every move. Carter finally picks Leon up and knees him in the ribs a few times before planting him into the mat face first with a DDT, and he rolls over, covering Leon.

TW-Kickout!
After a minute of exchanges between Carter and Corella, which included both men attempting but failing to use their finishers, Spade is back in the ring, and Carter has found a weakness. He whips Spade into the ropes, and as Spade comes back, Carter dives low, taking him out at the knees. Spade rolls onto his back, holding one of them in severe pain, and Carter rolls him onto his gut, lifting him by the leg and slamming him knee first onto the mat. He does this with both knees a few times, and I'm pretty sure that he's got this. I don't see Spade walking out of this match. Carter goes for a cover.

Kickout!
Leon is excited now to see his partner kickout of the cover, and he starts stamping a foot on the apron, letting his partner know he's still here and he's got his back! Carter lifts Spade up, who shoves him back and makes a last ditch effort, diving to his corner and barely grazing the hand of Corella. Lansing signals the tag, and Leon hops into the ring, ducking a Clothesline, turning quickly, and derailing Carter with a Clothesline of his own. He connects with a Suplex, and as Carter rolls to his feet, he hits him hard with a right hook, which causes Carter to stumble back into the turnbuckle. Leon walks over and throws right hand after right hand, the crowd chanting along.(...1...2...3...4...5...6) Leon lets go, and Carter falls to the mat. Carter is slowly to his feet, and Leon grabs him and pulls him toward his corner, tagging in Spade. Spade grabs Carter now and drops him with an Inverted DDT. He locks in his finishing Sharpshooter, and Carter starts to squirm around, trying either to break out of it or grab a rope. Sharpe jumps into the ring, but Leon is there too and he hits Sharpe with a Clothesline. Carter starts crawling toward one of the ropes, but he isn't quick enough, and he taps out! AKN has just won in their NAW debut! My, oh my!
Spade holds his arms high in victory as Lansing grabs one of his arms and one of Leon's arms as their music plays. The crowd does cheer them, but not too incredibly loud. It was definitely a great match, and I'm very interested to see what these guys have in store for us.

V-List vs Latin Kings
Malcolm Gould: What a great show we've had so far Jim but up next we have our main event
Jim Torres: It sure has being Malcolm…
Just then the familiar cop siren fills the arena and the fans burst into cheers as the Miami Vice theme plays.
Torres: What do these two clowns want?
Lance Carter and Hank Sharpe - The Vice Squad – walk out on to the stage, soaking up the applause. They make their way down the ramp and round the outside of the ring. They walk up to the announce booth as two extra chairs are brought over by stage hands.
Gould: Looks like they’re out here to join us Jim.
Torres: Great stuff…
Lance Carter: Don’t worry Jim we’ll try our best not to make you look sucky.
Gould: Vice Squad, what brings you out here?
Hank Sharpe: We’re here to the watch the match, to see who has the pleasure of being beat by us..
The lights black out, and the voice over can be heard "Who you tryna' get crazy with, esé, don't you know I'm loco?". The crowd boo loudly as the lights flash back on, a gold tint to them as they flash with the beat of the music. After a few seconds, Diego & Marco appear on the stage. They play to the crowd, soaking up the boos, which seem to be somewhat subdued tonight, perhaps due to who they are facing next.
Rebecca Martin: Challenging for the right to face The Vice Squad for the NAW tag team titles, Marco Uribe and Diego Martinez, The Latin Kings!
Jim Torres: These could be the guys taking them titles off you..
Lance Carter: I very much doubt that..
Storytime" by Nightwish hits the PA system and David Fraggle and Euan Dante walk out to a chorus of boos, the loudest reaction of the night. They walk to the ring with purpose – gone are the days of playing up to the crowd. Keeping their eyes on The Latin Kings and climb through the ropes.
Rebecca Martin: The other team challenging for the NAW tag team title No.1 contendership, David Fraggle and “Sideshow” Euan Dante, The V-List!
The crowd boo even more.
Gould: Well the V-List receiving a different reaction than usual tonight but having disrespected the fans here tonight I guess that’s to be expected.
Torres: Yeah I’m sensing a different attitude here now.
Gould: Let me ask you Lance, how do you feel about David Fraggle calling you out, saying he wants to face you?
Lance: You know, that’s fine. If he wants to fight me, we can fight any time. The Vice Squad don’t go around backing down from fights, especially from those who go around disrespecting others. I would have no trouble putting David on his back if that’s what he wants
Gould: And how about this match tonight, one of these two teams will be facing you guys at Spring Breakdown. Care to put your money on any one?
Hank: Well both teams have what it takes Malcolm..
Gould: Do I sense sarcasm there?
Hank: You’d make a damn fine cop there Gould my boy.. No, our money is actually on V-List to get the job done here tonight.. I know, shocking right?
Gould: Tonight? You say it like you don’t see them as a threat?
Torres: This is the 3rd straight show V-List have main evented, just look at them, they look like they’re ready to take the world on..
Hank: In short, no.
Gould: It looks like the match is about to get under way here..
Euan Dante and Diego Martinez are in the middle of the ring to start things off as the ref calls for the bell.
The two men circle each other, each the taller member of their team. Martinez lunges forward to try and catch Euan but Euan ducks out of the way. They circle each other once before locking up, Martinez manages to get Euan into a wrist lock. He wrestles Euan down to one knee.
Gould: Diego Martinez is the tallest out of the 4 men, standing 6’ 4’’, giving him somewhat of a power advantage in the match here..
Euan gets back up on both feet but Diego whips him into the ropes. Euan bounces back and ducks a clothes, he rebounds off the other side but is caught by a knee to the gut and falls to the mat. Diego puts a couple of boots to the back of Euan before picking him up and taking him over to the corner. He tags Marco in.
Torres: This is some good work here early on from The Latin Kings.
Gould: That’s a tag by Marco who climbs to the top turnbuckle and takes Euan out with a flying clothesline.
The crowd cheer a little as Euan hits the mat. Marco picks Euan put and pushes him into the corner and proceeds to run into him with a corner splash. The crowd boo as Euan drops to his knees. Euan tries to use the ropes the climb back up but Marco stomps on his back. Marco allows Euan to climb to his feet this time but whips him back into the corner. He stands in the opposite corner and goes to attempt another corner splash but Euan ducks and falls to the floor as Marco hits the turnbuckle. The crowd boo as Euan reaches out to his partner, eager to join the match. Euan makes the tag just as Marco is getting back to his feet.
David climbs in to the ring to more boos and goes straight for Marco. He flies at him with a clothesline in the corner and follows it up with a few punches to the mid section. David brings Marco into the middle of the ring and whips him into the ropes but Marco reverses into his own Irish Whip. David bounces back off the ropes and gets caught by a shoulder block.

Hank: BO?
Diego turns back around but is met with a quick chop across the chest. David whips Diego into the corner and as Diego bounces out of the corner, David comes off the ropes and hits Diego with a bulldog. David crawls to his corner and tags Euan in. Euan climbs to the top rope and waits while Diego gets to his feet to hit him with a flying crossbody. Euan follows through with a pin..
Euan picks Diego up and knees him the gut to get him bent forward and follows it up with a swinging neckbreaker. The crowd boo now V-List have gained control. Euan comes off the ropes with a seated senton and goes for another pin.

Hank: If you say so Jim..

He whips Marco into a corner and runs at him but Marco manages to duck the attack. David hits the turnbuckle and stumbles backwards. Somehow Marco manages to hit a massive spinning side slam. Both men fall to the mat and Marco just manages to get an arm over David.
Euan jumps into the center of the ring and breaks the pin up. The ref tells him to get back on the outside. David and Marco climb to their feet, Marco tries to make it to his corner and lunges and tags Diego in. Diego, the fresh man charges at David and hits a clothesline. David gets back up and Diego hits another clothesline.
Gould: Diego, the fresh man, could get control of the match back here.
David gets back to his feet again and Diego goes for a powerbomb but David starts punching Diego, whilst atop his shoulders. Diego tries to bomb him but David manages to counter into a hurricanrana. The crowd boo.
Gould: What a counter!
Torres: This could be the end now if David can tag Euan in..
Gould: V-List have looked strong here tonight, wouldn’t you agree Vice Squad?
Hank: Yeah, you know, they’ve looked good, sure… Good enough to beat us Lance?
Lance: …..Nah.
Both men are lying in the center of the ring as their partners want in. David is the first to start trying to get to his feet. He edges towards his corner as Diego edges towards his. Diego makes the tag and Marco explodes into the ring, stopping David from making the tag. Marco drags him back to the center. Holding David by the leg, he’s perhaps trying for a leg submission or an elbow to the leg but David wriggles and kicks free. Marco immediately tries to grab David up off the floor but David again counters with a big DDT. He picks Marco up and takes him over to his corner and tags Euan in. He holds Marco up off the mat over his knee. Euan climbs to the top rope and hits Marco with a leg drop across the chest, forcing him to the mat and covers. Another TWO COUNT. Euan picks Marco up but Marco elbows him in the stomach and tries to make it to his corner but Euan stops him with leg lariat across the back. Marco jumps in to the ring and starts to beat Euan down but David comes running across and clotheslines Marco to the outside. They get up and start brawling on the outside.
Gould: Here we go folks, we have action on the outside here..
Torres: What a main event! Both these men want that title shot.
Euan and Marco are exchanging punches on the inside of the ring while Diego and David are brawling outside. Euan tries to suplex the Marco but Marco manages to get his foot in the way. Marco pushes Euan back and he accidentally catches the ref. Marco then catches Euan with a big boot. On the outside, David whips Diego into the steel ring post and he falls to the floor in pain, holding his shoulder. David turns and walks over to the announcers desk. The Vice Squad get to their feet as David starts yelling at them.
David Fraggle: You’re going down Squad! You’re going down!
David climbs on the apron to get back in the ring but Marco stops him at the ropes. He goes to throw David back to the ground but David sprays Green Mist into the face of Marco.
Torres: GREEN MIST! GREEN MIST!
Gould: That’s illegal…
Torres: There’s no ref..
Lance: Rookie mistake there..
Hank: We wouldn’t have fallen for that..
David jumps down from the apron as Euan hits the blinded Diego with a springboard Enziguri. He climbs to the top rope to go for his finisher – Top Rope Moonsault. The fans boo as he hits it and goes for the cover. The ref. has been stirring and rolls over to count the pin
The crowd boo loudly.
Rebecca Martin: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winners and new No.1 Contenders to the Tag Team Titles, The V-List.
The V-List stand in the center of the ring amidst all the boos. They pick the downed Marco Uribe up and look to be going for a double team move. The Vice Squad get up from the announcers desk and slide into the ring. They save Marco from a big double powerbomb and V-List slide to the outside. Vice Squad show off the title belts as the crowd cheer. Suddenly the V-List slide into the ring to try and sneak attack the Squad but they turn around and catch them before they can. The two teams watch each other. Vice Squad eventually leave the ring and begin to walk up the ramp. David Fraggle signals for a microphone.
David Fraggle: Hey Squad! We’ll see you at Spring Breakdown where we will take out the trash!
The two teams star down from the stage and the ring as the show goes off the air.
The five guys in this match start incredibly quickly, as Kassius Hero and Braden Munroe double team White Rabbit and force him into the corner, kicking at him until he falls to his butt, then they alternate stomping on him. They do this repeatedly, and let me tell you, it's violent. Not sure how he's gonna get out of this situation.
Jean Paul on the other hand is being very strategic against Mihail Eros, throwing a few punches, but not in the manner that Mihail would be accustomed to fighting against. He whips Eros into the ropes, and as Eros comes back, Jean Paul is able to jump up and wrap himself around Eros' arm in an armbar fashion, and hold it locked in while Eros squirms about and screams in pain. He is able to club at Jean Paul's leg and is eventually let go of. Jean Paul gets to his feet quickly and Eros gets up as well, and he doesn't even see a Snap Suplex coming from Jean Paul. Jean Paul gets right back up and this time is hit from behind by Braden Munroe.
White Rabbit has the advantage over Cassius Hero now, as he forces him into a corner, then pulls him out and drops him with a quick DDT. He gets up, and Hero gets up very slowly. White Rabbit hits him with a Big Boot and covers, picking up the three count and eliminating Hero.
The crowd cheers as Jean Paul and Munroe get into a very nice back and forth with right hands coming from both men. Jean Paul ducks underneath a right hand from Munroe, and from behind is able to connect a German Suplex. He covers Munroe, but only gets a two count from it. White Rabbit on the other hand, just hit Eros with the Rabbit Stunner. He gets up and Jean Paul hits him hard from behind and covers Eros, picking up a three count!
It's down to three guys now, Munroe, Jean Paul, and White Rabbit. Paul and the big bunny double team Munroe, and he is eliminated after Jean Paul is able to lock in the Abandonner, and Munroe taps in just a couple of seconds, which leaves a one on one contest between himn and the rabbit. The two lock up, and Jean Paul sends White Rabbit to the mat with an Arm Drag. They get up and he does it again, they get up one more time and Jean Paul fakes White Rabbit out, who was preparing for another Arm Drag, but he hits White Rabbit instead with a Dropkick. He picks up white rabbit and connects with a vertical suplex, and he covers, only picking up a two count.
Jean Paul seems confused that he wasn't able to just get rid of the rabbit right away, as White Rabbit climbs to his feet. He goes for a Clothesline, but Jean Paul ducks and when the rabbit turns around, Jean Paul kicks him with an Enziguiri. He covers again, and still only gets a two count. He gets up, this time almost in disbelief, and he picks up White Rabbit, who pokes him in the eye right away. He is able to throw a few right hands and hit Jean Paul hard, forcing him to the ropes. He whips Jean Paul to the other ropes, and Jean Paul comes back and hits him with a diving Crossbody. He gets right to his feet and locks in the Abandonner, and the rabbit is able to tough it out for a while, but after a few failed attempts to get a rope break, he is forced to tap as Jean Paul wins his debut match.
Televised
We cut, then we start the now familiar video package featuring some of the best superstars in NAW. Clips of Kandi Washington, Virgil Keenan, Cthulhuson, Gunner Hughes, the Black Circle Boys, the Vice Squad, and some more superstars. The video package ends, as "Now We Run" by Steve Vai continues. We see fans in the very small Kirby Sports Complex at Lafayette College in Easton, PA. Fans are screaming, and this week we didn't have room for a pyro display. We see fans with signs again though, supporting their favorite wrestlers. We cut around the arena, and then we cut to the commentary table.
Gould: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of NAW Meltdown! We have another stacked card for you guys tonight, and can't wait to see how things pan out. I'm Malcolm Gould, alongside my broadcast partner, Jim Torres, and we are both incredibly pumped for this show!
And things start off quickly as "Paracidal Epitaph" by Demolition Hammer hits the PA System. The fans who recognize this start to cheer, and some other fans look around, discussing what they think is gonna come up. After about thirty seconds, when the vocals begin to kick in, we see a glimpse of the Madman, Joe Martinez, as he heads out onto the stage, banging his head with the tune. He smiles, as he stands on the stage, looking over the audience, who begins to cheer him on.
Rebecca: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall... Introducing first, from Aztec, New Mexico... The Madman.... Joe Martinez!
The fans cheer a little bit more as he heads down the ramp slowly, he even goes so far as to slap a couple hands. He rolls into the ring, getting up quickly and walking around the ring as he continues headbanging. He holds his right arm in the air, balled in a fist for a few seconds, and as he holds it, he slowly turns it into the familiar devil horns that you see at rock concerts all the time. Before he can finish though, his music cuts to give way to blackness throughout the arena. The camera shudder noise from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films plays, and the light synchronizes with it. After several seconds, the music begins to pick up, as we hear the blasting sound of "Chainsaw Dismemberment" by Mortician.
Rebecca: And his opponent...from Austin, Texas.... Nate Gacy!
Most of the fans remember the last show's dark match where Nate Gacy risked the life of an NAW enhancement talent, Todd Morrison. For this, he is booed heavily as he walks down the ramp, although he pays no attention to the fans. He stares at the ring, almost as though he is staring a hole through it. As Nate gets to the ringside area, he circles around the outside of the ring two times before climbing onto the apron and climbing in between the middle and top ropes. He begins walking in circles around the ring before backing into his corner.
Gould: Both of these men looked very tough in their matches last week, making quick work of their opponents, as Martinez picked up a victory, although Nate Gacy's match was tossed.
Torres: Gacy's match being tossed was bogus though, brother. Nothing wrong with a little post match message for a future opponent, right? Maybe Martinez learned something from watching that.
The bell rings, and Mark Lansing gets out of the way quickly. Martinez and Gacy circle the ring before locking arms. Gacy gets the upperhand, taking down Martinez with a quick tackle-style takedown. He holds him in a facelock then, as the two get back to their feet. Gacy quickly drops Martinez then with a quick DDT, and he hops right back to his feet, looking around evilly. Martinez is back up, too, and Gacy hits him hard with a few heavy right hands to knock him back down to the mat. Gacy walks over to Martinez, grabbing him by his crazy hair, and whips him into the ropes. Martinez bounces off and runs back, being hit hard with a back handed chop, which drops him back a few steps, then Gacy hits him with a Dropkick, totally sending him to the mat again.
Gould: The Madman can't seem to get any offense going at all, total domination by Gacy so far tonight.
Gacy knees Martinez in the ribs a few times, then bends him forward, putting the head of Martinez between his legs. He grabs either side of Martinez, getting ready to lift him for a powerbomb. He looks around, showboating a little bit to boos from the crowd, and when he finally goes to lift, he can't get Martinez off the ground. Martinez stands tall now, dropping Gacy onto his head behind him, as he looks around and pounds his chest a couple of times. Gacy is getting to his feet, somewhat stunned from the drop, and as he gets up onto a knee, Martinez kicks him hard in the chest, sending him right back to his back. Martinez gets down on one knee and starts viciously pounding Gacy repeatedly in the face. Lansing, doing his job, gives Martinez to the count of five, albeit a pretty slow count. After that, he tells Martinez he has to get off of Gacy, and reluctantly, Martinez does so. Gacy is getting back to his feet, holding his head, and Martinez whips him into the ropes, and as Gacy comes back, he plows right through Gacy hard with a huge shoulder block.
Gould: Wow! Martinez with a huge comeback that could be the game changer for this match!
Martinez gets to his feet quickly, and he backs into the turnbuckle, leaning on it as Gacy slowly gets to his feet. Gacy charges for Martinez, who sticks a boot up to meet Gacy and knock him back a few steps again. He then runs at Gacy and hits a swinging Neckbreaker, to a crowd pop for a pretty cool execution. Gacy rolls onto his stomach, in an attempt to crawl to a rope to get himself up more quickly. Martinez grabs a leg and drags him to the ring center though, as he grabs Gacy's legs and sets up a Boston Crab. He is just about to sit on it when Gacy finds enough leg strength to flip Martinez off of him, and Martinez lands hard on his back on the mat, laying for a couple of seconds to get his breath back that was just knocked out of him from landing awkwardly.
Torres: Very smart counter on Gacy's part right there, keeping things alive for him so he can get a breather in quick.
Gacy gets to his feet and looks at Martinez, who is reaching back to grasp at his spine in discomfort, and Gacy just shakes his head. He pulls Martinez to his feet, and toys with him for a little bit, just because he can, before he finally hits Martinez hard with an Uppercut, which sends him crashing to the mat hard. Gacy looks at the booing fans, and in a cocky manner, he drops an elbow right into the ribs of Martinez. He gets up, doing the same thing again, then he does it again. He keeps toying with Martinez, who is clutching his chest after the repeated elbow drops, and he kicks him in the ribs a few times. He finally decides to go for a cover.

TW--Kickout!
Gould: Martinez keeps things going for himself, definitely looking pretty tough after kicking out after this display over the last couple minutes.
Martinez slowly gets to his feet, and Gacy looks angry. He whips Martinez into the corner, then he charges after him. Martinez ducks out of the way of a corner splash, rolling toward the middle of the ring, and as Gacy comes out of the corner, groggy and dazed, Martinez is able to hit him hard with a Northern Lights Suplex, and he hops right back to his feet, the crowd definitely starting to get behind him. Gacy gets to his feet, and Martinez takes him down with an Arm Drag. This is repeated then a few times, the crowd cheering after each Arm Drag from Martinez. He finally gets up, and as Gacy comes at him, he hits Gacy hard with a boot to the chin, which puts him flat on his back.
Gould: Wow, these guys are just absolutely tearing each other apart in that ring tonight.
Torres: Yeah, they're definitely making things go pretty hard, and it makes you wonder if both of them, or even either of them is going to be able to walk out of that ring with any ease, or by themselves at all, after this is over.
Martinez marches around the ring a few times, getting the fans all riled up, Gacy is to his feet, and he is able to kick Martinez hard in the gut, then he tosses him over the top rope out of the ring roughly. Martinez hits the floor hard, and rolls over, laying right next to the apron, with one arm under it. Gacy gets out of the ring and picks up Martinez, who then throws dirt into the eyes of Gacy, temporarily blinding him. He then rolls Gacy into the ring and covers.

Martinez hops to his feet quickly as his music hits and he holds his arms high in the air after his win.
Rebecca: Here is your winner, Joe Martinez!
Torres: He clearly cheated to win! That's bogus!
Gould: I don't agree with how it happened, but I do think the better man won tonight. Joe is one hell of a competitor.
Joe Martinez heads up the ramp slowly as Nate Gacy looks up the ramp at him, clearly furious as he gets to his feet and shakes the top rope angrily as he shouts up at Martinez, who just smiles as he holds an arm high.
Scene opens to Katherine Brock getting ready for her Triple threat match with Akrista Walsh and Kandi Washington. She's just lacing up her black boots when there's a knock on the door.
Katherine: Door's open.
Much to Katherine pleasure Trent Brown walks in . He's in his normal attire of jeans, a nice long sleeve shirt this time a light blue ,gray vest and his famous flat cap. Katherine smiles as Trent speaks.
Trent: You ready for the match love? This is going to be a hard one ya know. No worres though. I got you'er back as always. That Walsh girl seems OK. She may just might doubt you'er skill. Still seems like an OK lass.
Katherine smiles as she does her best to put tape around her wrists. Though fully capable of doing things for herself putting tape on is kind of a two hand job and she somewhat struggles with it. Trent smiles and shakes his head before taking the tape from her.
Trent: Looks like ya need some help on that. I know you'er stubborn as an ox much like meself but come on and let me help ya for once.
Katherine gives a slight laughs and she knows he's right and smiles as she agrees to let him help her.
Katherine You can help me this time. Though this means I help you next time.
This time Trent laughs as he helps her get the last bit of tape on and agrees to the deal.
Trent: Ok ya got a deal . This Kandi Washington looks like a little hellcat but you and Walsh will cut her down to size. I'll make sure those goons of hers stay out of it.
Katherine does a few last stretches before the match. She jumps up and smiles as speaks one last time.
Katherine Thanks hun that means alot . Well ready or not its showtime. Let's go.
And with that Katherine and Trent leave the locker room and head to the ring for the match as the scene cuts out.
Sebastian Jankowski vs Santa Claus
We cut to the ring and we here "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine hit the system and the crowd cheers. The lights flash different colors, mostly red and white, and they pulse to the beat. As soon as the lyrics start, you see Sebastian Jankowski run from behind the curtain out onto the stage. He hops up and down several times, getting the crowd pumped for his match. He smiles as they cheer him on, and he looks around, admiring the small but loving crowd.
Rebecca: The following match is scheduled for one fall... Introducing first, from Posnan, Poland... The White-Red Kid.... Sebastian JANKOWSKI!
The crowd cheers as Jankowski runs down the ramp and rolls into the ring, holding his arms high for several seconds as the guitar starts to sound more and more like a turntable. He hops up and down several times now in the center of the ring, running to a turnbuckle and holding his arms high as the crowd cheers. He hops off and runs to the opposite corner, holding his arms high again to get an even bigger pop from the fans. The smile on his face is absolutely huge as his music fades out. After a few seconds, the fake snow starts falling again as a techno remix of "Here Comes Santa Claus" by Bing Crosby starts to play. Santa and another Mrs. Claus are seen in his sleigh, being pulled down the ramp electronically. Santa waves to each side of the arena, waving to the fans who continue to cheer him loudly.
Rebecca: And his opponent....from the North Pole.... Santa CLAUUUS!
The crowd cheers loudly yet again for him as he gets out of the sleigh, grabbing a few wrapped boxes and walking around the ring, handing them to some of the younger fans in the crowd. The kids getting the presents smile, and he gives them all a slight ruffling of their hair as they get excited for gifts. He then climbs into the ring, and looks at Sebastian, who is just too ready for this match to see the smiles on the kids' faces, wanting to give them a smile for him as well.
Gould: Wow... Sebastian Jankowski jsut looks absolutely pumped up for this match, Jim. I'm not sure how Santa will fare, with Jankowski in such a focused mode.
Torres: True, but the thing that people are forgetting is that Jankowski doesnt have the best ring skills in the company, you know? He's alright, but he's not spectacular in there. So we'll see how it turns out, but I've got my reservations.
Mark Lansing looks at both competitors, each of them giving him a nod as they stare each other down from their corners. He nods back and calls for the bell as the match begins. The two men move in toward the ring center and Santa goes for a lockup, but a smart Jankowski knows how it will turn out, and ducks under it, instead trying to wrap his arms around Santa's waist to lift him for a belly to belly Suplex. Santa just shakes his head as Jankowski tries and fails miserably to lift him, and he hits Jankowski in the spine with a quick Double Axe Handle, which just causes Jankowski to collapse face first to the mat. Santa picks him up and lifts him, sending him to the mat on his back this time with a Scoop Slam. He then runs to the ropes, coming back and landing a Leg Drop right to Jankowski's throat. Jankowski rolls around the ring for a few seconds, holding his throat trying to catch his breath as Santa gets back to his feet and adjusts his outfit a little bit to make it more comfortable.
Gould: Wow, Santa is making this look way too easy!
Santa grabs Jankowski by the hair and throws some quick right handed jabs at Jankowski, but after a few, Jankowski catches his hand and shoves him back a few steps. He kicks Santa in his stomach repeatedly, not getting a whole lot done, but after each step, Santa is forced to back up. He finally gives Santa a swift kick to the shin, which does take him down to one knee. As he sees the opening he's given himself, Jankowski runs to the far ropes, coming back in hope of hitting a Dropkick, but Santa rolls out of the ring quickly, and Jankowski misses, also leaving the ring, bt with a little less grace as he lands roughly on his back on the outside. Santa picks Jankowski up and rolls him into the ring, and Jankowski gets up as Santa slides himself back in. While Santa is still down, Jankowski takes this chance to get a few quick stomps in, hoping to keep Santa down long enough to put in a little offense.
Torres: Some people think it's a cheap shot, but that's smart by Jankowski.
Gould: For once i'm inclined to agree with you, Jim. Jankowski has to do everything possible in order to keep the match going, and he definitely has to start getting his own offense in if he wants to have a shot at all of winning this match.
It works, and Santa is down for a few seconds, so Jankowski can get some kicks to the ribs in as well before Santa can get up. As Santa does climb to his feet, Jankowski runs to the other ropes, and this time successfully dropkicks old Saint Nick and sends him tumbling hard onto the mat. Jankowski hops to his feet now, clearly excited to get things rolling good. He picks Santa up, hops into the air, and sends Santa across the ring with a headscissors that leaves the crowd screaming in excitement. Jankowski swings his arms up and down in an attempt to get the crowd even louder, and as Santa gets up, Jankowski charges, connecting with a huge running DDT, which causes Santa not only to be planted face first into the mat, but also to do a full front flip and lay on his back. Jankowski quickly gets to his feet, looking around at the fans and nodding his head. He runs over and covers Santa quickly.

T--Santa powers out of the pin, sending Jankowski high in the air and across the ring, he pushed him off with such force. Santa gets to his feet, as does Jankowski, and the two men share a staredown. Jankowski runs at Santa, who is able to level Jankowski out with a quick Clothesline, as Mrs. Claus smiles and claps her hands, getting the fans into it. Jankowski gets up and ducks another clothesline, instead kicking Santa in the stomach and then hitting him hard with an Enziguiri that absolutely flattens him. Jankowski climbs to the top rope and sits on the top turnbuckle, waiting for Santa to get up. As he does, Jankowski dives off, going for a diving headscissors. He puts his legs pefectly over Santa's shoulders and tilts the move, and Santa is forced to roll with it. Suddenly, Santa grabs Jankowski's legs and slams him to the mat with a huge 180 Powerbomb! Jankowski is absolutely lifeless for a few seconds after the huge slam, and Santa actually drops down to one knee from the force of the move. Mrs. Claus also looks very shocked at it.
Crowd: This is awesome *clap clap-clap clap clap*
Torres: Holy hell, Gould, did you see that fabulous counter? And the crazy thing about this is that both men look to have taken a lot of damage from it!
Gould: Yeah, that move was absolutely huge, and it could mean the end of the match coming soon if Jankowski is as out of it as he looks to be.
Santa gets to his feet slowly, and Jankowski leans on the second rope, staying down on one knee to avoid too much strain. Santa sort of limps over and starts laying a few right hands onto the forehead of Jankowski, then he whips him into the opposite ropes. Jankowski comes back and hits Santa hard with a jumping elbow strike. He gets back up and starts pumping the crowd to get real loud, then he smiles as he pulls Santa away from any ropes. He jumps up onto the top rope and does a huge backflip off, looking for a Moonsault, but Santa rolls out of dodge just in time!
Gould: Jankowski almost had the Moonsault in!
Torres: Well, almost doesn't exactly do anything in his favor when it comes right down to it. Looks like he needs to learn to be a little more careful next time.
Santa gets to his feet slowly and looks at the downed jankowski. He picks him up and whips him to the ropes. When Jankowski comes back, Santa is able to hit the Yuletide Cheer, and he covers quickly.

We come back from the commercial to see the commentary table. Malcolm Gould and Jim Torres are sitting there.
Gould: We have just received word that Mitch Thompson would not actually be making it to the arena tonight due to the weather, but the announcement has come through that he will be placed on the inactive roster.
Torres: That's right. He did have a short history of back problems, but it was never anything to worry about. Doctors said that he would have to made inactive indefinitely while he rehabilitates it, but it won't be a permanent move. And he will remain part of the security staff, which is a huge plus.
Akrista comes out to the crunchy bass line of "Nice n Sleazy", wearing a gray trench coat over her ring attire, not through the main entrance, but moving amongst the fans. The lights have a gray filter, and a moderate amount of smoke fills the space. A look of cold determination on her face, she ignores everyone around her, cheering and booing. Placing one hand on the barrier, she vaults over, and makes her way to the ring edge. Jumping onto it, she flashes a quick smile to the crowd, but it’s the smile of a predator. Hopping over the top rope, she drops her trench coat to the mat and stretches, waiting for her opponent. Interesting side note: She was accompanied to the ring by Sebastian Jankowski, who still looks exhausted from his match with Santa Claus earlier.
Gould: My money is on Akrista. She seems to want revenge on Kandi and who can blame her? She’s worked too hard to be where she’s at and she feels Kandi is setting women back.
Torres: Do you honestly believe that? Kandi is simply doing what is best for Kandi!
“Fastest Girl In Town” by Mranda Lambert hits as Katherine Brock makes her way to the ring in a normal fashion, climbs the steel steps and steps into the ring.
Torres: Kat has an equal chance in winning this one too.
Gould: I agree and if the partnership between these ladies works well, they might have the advantage in this match.
“Get Naked” hits the p.a. system and Kandi Washington struts out from the back with a flesh colored two-piece halter top, and booty shorts with white stiletto heel boos. She stops at the top of the ramp and has her two championships draped down her shoulders. She has Ice to her immediate right as she looks down at the ring, slowly sliding her titles off from her shoulders. She hands them over to Ice and she sets them on her wrists as Kandi places her hands down on her hips. She struts down the ramp to the sounds of boos and chants of “whore” as she makes her way to the ringside area. She stops at the apron and flips her hair over the shoulder as she turns toward the steel stairs. She flips her hair once more and starts up the steps as her heels click against the metal. She makes her way on the apron and lowers her body down as she steps under the second rope. She motions for her opponents to step aside as she walks to the middle and raises her arms. Ice enters the ring with both titles over her shoulders and arms folded across her chest. Kandi purses her lips and blows a kiss to her opponent. She turns around and walks over to the ropes, leaning back against them, and her elbows rested against the top rope. Ice makes her way out as the ladies just glare at each other.
Torres: She must be known for winning since she’s pretty dominating in the other regions of the UWL league. I think she could very well win this match.
Gould: But like Akrista and Kat have both pointed out, how many times did she need the outside assistance of her bodyguards?
Gould: The referee has just called for the bell and both the ladies are staring a hole in Kandi. I wonder if she’s feeling hot yet.
Torres: This doesn’t look like an ideal situation for the self-proclaimed First Lady.
Akrista and Kat both start to make their way toward Kandi as they race her in the corner. They both start to open up with socks and punches to her head as she is forced down in the corner. They grab a hold of the ropes and repeatedly punch away at the top of Kandi’s head and all Kandi tries to do is cover up. The referee manages to pull Kat away, but Akrista refuses to stop.
Torres: Akrista better be careful she doesn’t get herself disqualified.
Akrista leans down and grabs Kandi by a handful of her blonde locks and calls Kat over. They each grab an arm and flips her back with a double suplex. Kat runs off the side ropes with an impressive leg drop. Akrista then positions herself on Kandi’s chest and starts to clobber her with punches to the face. Kandi covers up as the referee grabs Akrista up off from her chest. As Akrista is torn away, Kat lifts her up and shoves Kandi’s legs in between her legs. As she tries to lift Kandi up, but Kandi reverses it with a body drop. As she turns around, Akrista runs up behind her with a double forearm shot to her back.
Gould: The number’s gain is really starting to take their toll on the early going of this match. I think Kandi can kiss this match goodbye.
Torres: I am afraid you’re right. Akrista is relentless in her attack.
Akrista is connecting boots to the back as Kat staggers up to her feet. They both help Kandi up to her feet and whip her into the corner. Kat grabs Akrista and whips her into Kandi, but Kandi gets an elbow to her face. Akrista falls back to one knee and Kat runs at Kandi, but Kandi takes her down with a clothesline. Akrista turns around and connects with a boot to the midsection of Kandi. Kandi stumbles backwards and Akrista runs at her with a spear.
Torres: I think Kandi may have been broken in half.
Gould: Akrista is going for the cover!

Kat breaks up the three count. Akrista stares at her and Kandi is rolling out of the ring.
Gould: Oh no, they are arguing about who was going to pin Kandi. Kat goes to turn around and Akrista grabs her into a cobra clutch submission hold.
Torres: And she just drilled Kat face first into the mat with a cobra clutch bulldog.
Kandi has managed to get up to her feet on the outside as she’s staggering around the ring. Akrista slides out and they begin running around the ring post. As Akrista goes to almost catch her, Kandi reenters the ring, but as Akrista runs around the one ring post, Ice catches her with a thunderous clothesline that nearly beheads her.
Gould: The referee didn’t see that! What the heck ref!?
Torres: Akrista looks a bit dazed. This might be the opening Kandi needed.
Kat is holding her neck and Kandi lifts her up by the hair. She whips her into the ropes, but as Kat bounces off the ropes she takes Kandi down with a dropkick. She holds her chest as ravels in pain. Kat stands up to her feet and lifts her up, she tucks Kandi’s head in between the legs and lifts her onto her shoulders.
Gould: POWERBOMB!
She goes for the cover, 1 – 2 – Kandi manages to get a shoulder up at the last minute. Akrista is managing to get up to her feet, but still feeling the effects of that clothesline, and reenters the ring while Kandi is arching her back off the mat. Akrista sees the opening and quickly locks in the gogoplata.
Torres: This deadly move can put Kandi out for sure!
Kandi tries to fight out of it, but Kat comes behind Akrista and grabs her by the ears. Akrista breaks the hold and Kat is lifting her up backwards. Akrista battles out of it with elbows to the midsection. Kat breaks the hold and she turns around as Akrista runs at her with a leg scissors takedown. Kat rolls up to her feet and as she kneels up, Akrista runs and connects with a shining wizard!
Gould: Oh my God! Oh my God! Akrista has just taken out Kat.
Akrista goes to turn toward Kandi, but Kandi meets her with blows to the midsection. Kandi is up to her feet and she clasps her hands through Akrista’s hair and slams her backwards with a mat slam. She stands on Akrista’s hair and yanks up on her wrists as Akrista is shrieking in pain.
Torres: The referee is trying to force her to break the hold.
She manages to break the hold and walks over to the corner as she begins to climb to the top rope. She slouches down as Akrista begins to climb up to her feet. As she turns around, Kandi leaps off the top rope with a top rope crossbody.
Gould: THE CENTERFOLD!
Torres: She rolled up her too. She has a handful of tights!

Gould: Kandi has just stolen one!
After the match, Akrista then pounces on Kandi as she starts to relentless pound away at the back of Kandi’s head. Kandi is screaming as she’s in the feeble position and covering up her head. She tries to escape, but Akrista is screaming and pounding away with both fists. Ice enters the ring and right before she goes to grab her, Kat charges her with a running clothesline, but it hardly takes the big woman down.
Torres: Trent has just slid a chair in, but Ice grabs it!
Ice swings it, but Kat uses it against her as she sends Ice flying with a dropkick to the steel. Akrista becomes distracted and Kandi quickly slides out of the ring. She stumbles to the back and Akrista grabs Ice’s arms and neck.
Gould: The Gogoplata on Ice! Ice is tapping!
Kandi is walking backwards up at the ramp as she’s gripping the sides of her hair and Kat grabs the feet of Ice as she locks in a figure lock.
Torres: Ice is being punished for sticking her nose in this match. Anyway, we'll be right back everyone!

Backstage, “Mister Terrific” Scotty Blazer was chasing down Alex Morgan and caught him by the armBlazer: Mister Morgan.
Morgan: Hey, Scotty. I’m sure you’re here about getting onto the card tonight...
Blazer shook his head.
Blazer: Not at all. I actually have a thought about my future with the company.
Morgan: Okay, shoot.
Blazer: I want a match at the next PPV.
Morgan: Anything in particular?
Blazer: I want a one on one match with anyone on the roster, with the idea being that if I win I get a title shot.
Morgan: You’ve put together a very impressive record here Scotty, but it may be too soon for a World title shot.
Blazer: Not that one.
Morgan: Well, we could talk about a tv title shot..
Blazer: Tag title shot.
Morgan: I’m sorry?
Blazer grinned.
Blazer: I want a tag title shot.
Morgan: Did you pick up a partner somewhere when I wasn’t looking?
Blazer: Not yet. Let’s say it’s me and a partner of my choosing against whoever the tag team champions are. Is that fair?
Morgan: You know what? I’ll definitely think about it. Everyone does love a good mystery.
Blazer grinned and shook Morgan’s hand.
Blazer: Terrific.
As Blazer left, Alex shook his head.
Morgan: Mystery tag partner....I really do like that idea.
Alex scratches his chin as we cut to the arena.
Virgil Keenan vs Patrick Sparkman
"Yonkers" blasts over the arena speakers as Virgil Keenan appears on the stage. He holds an arm high to a mixed reaction from the small crowd, and wastes no time looking around before heading down the ramp.
Rebecca: The following match is part of a "Beat the Clock" Challenge, between Gunner Hughes and Virgil Keenan. The man to beat his opponent or beat his opponent in the shortest amount of time will get to pick the stipulation for the NAW Championship match at Spring Breakdown! Introducing first, Virgil Keenan!
Virgil slides into the ring and walks around it inside for a lap or two, awaiting the opposition, as "Everybody's Dixie" signals that arrival. The banjo licks are heard loudly throughout the arena and we see Patrick Sparkman appear onstage in his Confederate Army garb, waving a Confederate flag proudly. Not aggressively, but proudly. He smiles and waves to the crowd who buries him in boos. He just shakes his head as he comes down the ramp slowly.
Rebecca: And his opponent...the Southern Gentleman... Patrick Sparkman!
Sparkman sets his flag up in his corner and climbs up the ring steps, bowing to the crowd before getting into the ring between the top and middle ropes. He smiles as he waves to the fans courteously, and they continue to boo him.
Torres: This crowd is so rude, he's bowing, greeting, waving, all of that, and they still boo him! It just isn't right, Gould.
The fans start to all look towards the entrance ramp as somebody appears to have just walked out on the entrance ramp.
Gould: Hey, it’s the NAW Champion!
Torres: Yeah, and he coming this way too.
Gould: Well I guess he wants to come out and get a closer look at the number one contender Virgil Keenen and see how he fares in their “special challenge” that they have going tonight.
Gunner Hughes heads down the aisle, much to the approval of the fans. They cheer as he walks around the ring and towards the announce table and Virgil notices him from inside the ring. Virgil walks over and tosses a few of his trademark f-bombs Gunner’s way as he points at the NAW Championship around his waist. Gunner stops for a moment and returns fire.
Gunner: “Spring Breakdown junior…..you’ll have your shot!”
Gunner pats the faceplate of his NAW Championship, then he walks over and takes a seat next to Malcom Gould at the announce table and grabs a headset as Virgil goes back to business inside the ring.
Gunner: Hey fellas, how’s it going tonight?
Gould: Not too bad champ, good to see you.
Torres: Yeah same here. What brings you out here anyway?
Gunner: Hey Jimbo….it doesn’t sound like you’re too happy to see me out here? What, a champion can’t come out and do a little scouting on is future opponent?
Torres: Hey I’ve got no problem with you being out here at all Gunner…you’re the NAW Champion you can do whatever you want. I’d just hate to see you waste valuable time out here when you could be getting ready for your big champion versus champion matchup with Cthulhuson.
Gunner: “Well thanks for your concern Torres, but I think I’ll survive. For now, I just want to sit here and see if Virgil Keenan’s bite is really as devastating as his bark.
The match starts now, and the two men lock up in the center of the ring. Virgil sends Sparkman to the mat with a quick takedown, and they both get up, this time Virgil hits him with a Clothesline. He smiles and turns to see Sparkman getting up, and he hits him hard with a huge right hand, followed by a few more, which force Sparkman back into one of the ropes. He whips Sparkman into the opposite ropes, and when Sparkman comes back, Virgil hits him with a Dropkick. He gets right back up, strutting around the ring arrogantly, then he goes to the corner. Sparkman gets to his feet and Gunner charges at him, hitting him hard with a lariat, and getting a quick cover over Sparkman.
ONE
.
Kickout!
Virgil gets up and looks over at the commentary table, and Gunner holds his hands up innocently. Virgil turns around, and receives a kick to the ribs from Sparkman. This is followed up by a vertical Suplex, and Sparkman has control of the match now. He gets over Virgil on one knee and throws some right hands until Higgins forces him back, and Sparkman obliges. Virgil is to his feet and Sparkman throws a hard right hand, and when Virgil comes back toward him, Sparkman grabs his arm and pulls him to the mat with an armbar. Virgil is quick to grab a handful of the bottom rope though, as Higgins instantly forces a break.
Gould: Great ring awareness by Virgil there to get to the ropes before any real damage can be done to his arm.
Torres: Yeah, this kid is definitely great at what he does. How you feeling right now, Gunner?
Gunner: Yeah I’ll give him credit…he’s definitely showing right now why Alex Morgan chose him to face me at Spring Breakdown for the NAW Championship. Let’s just hope for his sake that he can keep this momentum going because Sparkman is certainly not done yet.
Virgil gets to his feet quickly and Sparkman misses a clothesline. Virgil turns around and throws some heel kicks at Sparkman, who eventually falls to the mat, and Virgil goes to the top rope, an uncommon occurrence for him. He comes back down with an elbow drop and a cover.

Kickout!
Virgil gets up and looks around quickly as he picks Sparkman up, sending him immediately back down with an Uppercut that could be heard throughout the arena. Sparkman slowly gets to his feet and Virgil runs behind him, coming back and kneeing him hard in the back of the skull with the S.A.F! Virgil immediately locks in the Texas Cloverleaf, and though Sparkman fights it the whole time, constantly trying to roll over onto his back, it doesn't work very well, and he is forced to tap within seconds.
Rebecca: Here is your winner, in three minutes and twenty one seconds...Virgil Keenan!
Virgil gets up and smiles and nods at Gunner, who just stares up at him.
Gunner: Pretty impressive showing from the number one contender here, I have to admit. In fact I’ll even go as far as saying that he could even be the second best wrestler in the NAW. He’s finally enjoying the spotlight that he’s always wanted right now, and I hope he really takes his time to bask in it. Because at Spring Breakdown I’m going to send him right back to the end of the line where he started….and then he’ll really have something to complain about. Anyway, good evening guys…enjoy the rest of the show.
Gunner stands up and removes his headset, the he shakes hands with some of the fans sitting at ringside as he makes his way back up the aisle way and disappears into the back as we go to commercial.

The camera shows backstage where “The Very Good” David Fraggle is looking right at the camera with “Sideshow” Euan Dante and White Rabbit behind him.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: Hello my brothers and sisters it is The V-List and White Rabbit. Tonight is about finishing what we didn’t want to start. We’re finishing something that was forced upon us and then we’re focusing on what we really wanted. Tonight we finish things between Sideshow and Marco and then we move onto The Vice Squad. Tonight is a night where Sideshow will show no mercy and he will get his revenge over his enemy.
“Sideshow” Euan Dante laughs.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: That’s right laugh my little Sideshow because the best is still to come. Vice Squad I want to introduce myself to you properly. My name is “The Very Good” David Fraggle and I’m the only one not called Gunner Hughes who has been there and done that. People have looked at me in the past and said that I would never achieve anything but I proved them all wrong. Vice Squad this is the part where I want you to turn your monitor volume up louder because it‘s going to change whatever you felt for us before now. For the past five months I’ve heard fans cheer me, however it’s because they saw a man go from nothing and become something, they must have thought that I was an inspiration to them. To be honest it felt very nice at first but now I understand something. It was my own personal hardwork that got me to the stage where I’m at tonight and not what they thought of me. I never needed them to make a name for myself and I can continue to keep making a name for myself without them liking me.
“Sideshow” Euan Dante: Vice Squad you like the fans supporting you, but the fact of the matter is that’s not what we want. We want to be remembered for us overcoming all of the obstacles that were thrown at us and that’s exactly what we’re doing. We’re coming right for you and we’re going to be the ones who take you out of the wrestling business forever.
“The Very Good” David Fraggle: That gives me an idea Sideshow. Lance carter I’m challenging you to a one on one match on the next Meltdown. I want you and the stupid fans to see that I’m my own monster and that nobody can stop me or The V-List.
as the scene fades "The Very Good" David Fraggle spits red mist at the camera.
Gunner Hughes vs Cthulhuson
We are back in the main arena, and the crowd is explosive. Suddenly, the lights dim quite a lot, and the crowd looks around, fans just looking at one another. Suddenly, the violins of Clint Mansell's "Lux Aeterna" play over the PA system. After just a couple of seconds, Raven Bellatrix is seen coming from behind the curtain, with the torches from the last show. She does the same with them this time as she did the last, and the crowd don't seem all that fond of her.
Gould: Here is Raven Bellatrix, the uh...lovely manager and valet of Cthulhuson.
Torres: Why the hesitation? She looks damn sexy tonight. And look at her dancing!
Virgil: What I find more intriguing about the whole scenario is how someone gets away naming their daughter that. Also this is a fire hazard, are we that trusting in her fire juggling abilities? I sure the fu-
Gould: Please Virgil if you're going to be out here you can't swear! .
Virgil: hmph
She continues this for a while, much to the chagrin of the crowd, and shortly after, Cthulhuson himself appears, TV Title wrapped around his waist. He looks around, observing the crowd, and just staring. He looks around for a few seconds more, while Raven dances around him still juggling the torches. The two actually walk down the ramp this way, until they part ways, as Cthulhuson goes toward the ring steps. He looks at a few fans who suddenly bow down to him, appearing to be sarcastic about it. He shakes his head as he gets into the ring.
Rebecca: The following match is part of a Beat the Clock Challenge between Virgil Keenan and Gunner Hughes. The man who beats his opponent or does so in the quickest time will get to pick the stipulation of their match at Spring Breakdown! Introducing now, the Television Champion... Cthulhuson!
Virgil: And that it is. I'm sure you're all going to be very curious to see what I pick.
Torres: If you win right?
Virgil: Like I said, you must be curious what I'm going to pick.
Cthulhuson hands is belt to Eddie Higgins and then he takes off his robe, handing it down to Raven. He walks over to his corner as we hear a shotgun blast that catches everybody off guard. Suddenly, we hear "Dead Man Walking" by Bloodsimple hit over the system, and the fans start to cheer loudly.
Gould: And here comes our NAW Champion!
Virgil: Wait, what's this here?
Gould: wait, what? HEY don't touch that!
The music plays for a while more, and suddenly, we see Gunner Hughes on the stage, holding his arms up. He has two championship belts draped over either shoulder, the NAW Championship over his left, the UWL International Championship over his right. He stands on the stage for a while as the fans keep cheering him on, and we can tell who the fan favorite is in this match. Gunner walks down the ramp slowly, keeping an eye on Cthulhuson the whole time.
Rebecca: And his opponent, he is the UWL International Champion, and the North Atlantic Wrestling Champion.... Gunner Hughes!!
Virgil: "More like Gunner Snooze."
With that Hulu and Gunner and even Virgil himself jump a little. Keenan has picked up and started announcing through a near hand operated microphone that's always handed out when someone requires to speak. Gunner doesn't look amused in the least as he stares down the Number one contender who retorts with a huge cheek to cheek grin.
Virgil: "Oh this is going to be fun...."
Torres: You can't just talk through that the whole match!
Gould: Yeah, isn't that a little distracting?
Virgil: Very much so Gould, you're a keen fellow.
Gunner goes to his corner irked as Cthulhuson stands in his, remaining patient. Higgins calls for the bell, and the match starts. The two lock up, with Gunner sending Cthulhuson to the mat with a quick takedown. They get back up and lock up again, Gunner s0ending Cthulhuson to the mat yet again. Gunner is up and Cthulhuson runs at him as Gunner sends him down with a hip toss. He gets back up and this time catches a boot to the head which keeps him down for a few seconds. He drops down and covers Cthulhuson.
ON--Kickout.
Virgil: KICK OUT, OH MY GOD GOULD DID YOU SEE THAT, AMAZING!
Gould: I, uhh, well it's just a kick out. match is only a few seconds long...
Gunner gets up glaring intensely at Keenan who is giddily yelling out the play by play. Cthulhuson takes a lil more time to his feet giving Gunner time to refocus from the obvious distraction. Gunner whips Cthulhuson into the corner, and walks over, throwing an elbow that catches Cthulhuson right in the side of the head. Cthulhuson staggers out of the corner, and Gunner takes several steps back. When Cthulhuson reaches him, Gunner sends him to the mat quickly and viciously with a Powerslam.
Gould: Wow, Gunner seems to be absolutely dominating this match up. He could have Cthulhuson beat in a couple of minutes.
Virgil: it's times like these where I wish Hulu didn't suck so much.
Torres: didn't he beat you?
Virgil: If by beat you mean he tapped out like a little bitch then yeah, sure.
Cthulhuson gets up slowly, and Gunner grabs him by the mask, pulling him to his feet, doing his best to ignore the vocal onslaught in his ears. Gunner goes to set up for a Suplex, but Cthulhuson punches Gunner in the side a few times, forcing him to let go. Gunner has no time to react before Cthulhuson trips him up, sending him to the mat. Cthulhuson starts trying to lock in a headlock, but Gunner doesn't allow it to happen. Cthulhuson gets to his feet before Gunner can, and starts stomping on Gunner in an attempt to keep him off of his feet. Gunner slowly does get up, still being stomped by Cthulhuson. He turns the stomps into kicks though, getting Gunner hard in the sternum, which takes him back down and knocks the wind out of him.
Gould: And now some offense from the TV Champ.
Torres: I don't think that this is gonna bode well for Hughes. If you let this guy get in any kind of offense, it makes him an absolute animal.
Virgil: So on a scale from 1 to Patrick Sparkman, how bad do you think Gunner Hughes is?
Torres: I don't know if tha-
Virgil: Trick question, the answer was actually 'terrible'. Close guessing though.
Cthulhuson picks Gunner up and whips him into the ropes, and as Gunner comes back, he is met with a Dropkick from Cthulhuson. He gets back up and starts laying into Gunner with a bunch of right hands, the crowd starting to boo him loudly. He gets up, and as Gunner is up, Cthulhuson hits him hard with kicks to the shins to keep him off of a vertical base. He gets around to behind Gunner and locks his arms from the sides, lifting him quickly and connecting with a Tiger Suplex, which holds Gunner down for a couple seconds as Cthulhuson also rolls through with it. He hops right back up and drops down to cover Gunner now.

Kickout!
Gould: Wow, Gunner is just not letting Cthulhuson get any progress made in this match at all, is he?
Virgil: Hey, hey, hey, Hulu, buddy, got a tip for you, how about you stop sucking? That something you could do for me?
Gunner grabs Cthulhuson by the mask, whips him into the ropes, and as Cthulhuson comes back, Gunner kicks him hard in the head with his patented boot, the Buckshot. He covers Cthulhuson, staring at Virgil the whole time.

Vice Squad vs AKN
This match is written from the perspective of Malcolm Gould
Hey guys, our TV deal kinda sucks, so we have too many commercials for our matches, something had to be cut out, and somehow, this is the match that got that, shockingly. Both teams entered to a moderate to high level of cheering from the fans in Easton. The Vice Squad held their belts high for the fans to see, giving them the edge as far as fan support was concerned.
Spade and Sharpe started the match against each other, locking up and Spade taking an early advantage with a whip to the other ropes and a Clothesline. He makes a quick point to grab Sharpe and send him back to the mat with a Scoop Slam. He gets up and hits Sharpe with another Clothesline, and as Sharpe gets up, Spade hits him with a left hook, knocking him onto one knee, then a left-right-left kick combo, followed by a Spinning Heel Kick to the temple, and I'm pretty sure that Sharpe is out of it. Spade covers, but only gets a one count out of it before Lance Carter is in the ring to save the match. He gets out as Lansing tells him to, so Leon doesn't feel a need to hop into the match or anything. Keeping things civil is awesome.
Spade dominates for a couple minutes, and eventually whips Sharpe into his team's corner, tagging in Leon, and the two alternate kicks for about five seconds before Spade leaves the ring. Corella goes for a huge right hand to Sharpe, who ducks out of the way and is able to quickly turn around, and as Leon turns around, Sharpe kicks him hard in the side of the head with a wheel kick. Sharpe slowly gets up, and Leon looks more off guard than anything. Leon is to his feet and Sharpe ducks another Clothesline, coming back and jabbing Leon in the ribs a few times to knock him back a couple of steps. He runs to the ropes and comes back, hitting Leon with a high knee that puts him hard on the mat. Sharpe holds an arm high as he runs to the nearest turnbuckle. He climbs up and turns, diving off and landing a diving elbow drop right into Leon's chest, as he covers.
ONE
.
.
Kickout!
Leon gets up now and the two men stare each other down as Sharpe backs up and tags in Carter. Carter whips Leon into the ropes, and he is met by Sharpe with a Diving Crossbody, and Carter slips in easily for a cover, but Leon kicks out of it almost instantly. Sharpe rolls out of the ring as Carter throws some more hard jabs to Leon's ribs before whipping him into the ropes and hitting him with a Dropkick of his own. Leon goes down hard and Carter picks him up, then headbutts him. Carter immediately drops an elbow onto him, getting more and more of a small cheer growth with every move. Carter finally picks Leon up and knees him in the ribs a few times before planting him into the mat face first with a DDT, and he rolls over, covering Leon.
ONE

.
TW-Kickout!
After a minute of exchanges between Carter and Corella, which included both men attempting but failing to use their finishers, Spade is back in the ring, and Carter has found a weakness. He whips Spade into the ropes, and as Spade comes back, Carter dives low, taking him out at the knees. Spade rolls onto his back, holding one of them in severe pain, and Carter rolls him onto his gut, lifting him by the leg and slamming him knee first onto the mat. He does this with both knees a few times, and I'm pretty sure that he's got this. I don't see Spade walking out of this match. Carter goes for a cover.
ONE

Kickout!
Leon is excited now to see his partner kickout of the cover, and he starts stamping a foot on the apron, letting his partner know he's still here and he's got his back! Carter lifts Spade up, who shoves him back and makes a last ditch effort, diving to his corner and barely grazing the hand of Corella. Lansing signals the tag, and Leon hops into the ring, ducking a Clothesline, turning quickly, and derailing Carter with a Clothesline of his own. He connects with a Suplex, and as Carter rolls to his feet, he hits him hard with a right hook, which causes Carter to stumble back into the turnbuckle. Leon walks over and throws right hand after right hand, the crowd chanting along.(...1...2...3...4...5...6) Leon lets go, and Carter falls to the mat. Carter is slowly to his feet, and Leon grabs him and pulls him toward his corner, tagging in Spade. Spade grabs Carter now and drops him with an Inverted DDT. He locks in his finishing Sharpshooter, and Carter starts to squirm around, trying either to break out of it or grab a rope. Sharpe jumps into the ring, but Leon is there too and he hits Sharpe with a Clothesline. Carter starts crawling toward one of the ropes, but he isn't quick enough, and he taps out! AKN has just won in their NAW debut! My, oh my!
Spade holds his arms high in victory as Lansing grabs one of his arms and one of Leon's arms as their music plays. The crowd does cheer them, but not too incredibly loud. It was definitely a great match, and I'm very interested to see what these guys have in store for us.

Lance Carter and Hank Sharpe - The Vice Squad – walk out on to the stage, soaking up the applause. They make their way down the ramp and round the outside of the ring. They walk up to the announce booth as two extra chairs are brought over by stage hands.
Gould: Looks like they’re out here to join us Jim.
Torres: Great stuff…
Lance Carter: Don’t worry Jim we’ll try our best not to make you look sucky.
Gould: Vice Squad, what brings you out here?
Hank Sharpe: We’re here to the watch the match, to see who has the pleasure of being beat by us..
The lights black out, and the voice over can be heard "Who you tryna' get crazy with, esé, don't you know I'm loco?". The crowd boo loudly as the lights flash back on, a gold tint to them as they flash with the beat of the music. After a few seconds, Diego & Marco appear on the stage. They play to the crowd, soaking up the boos, which seem to be somewhat subdued tonight, perhaps due to who they are facing next.
Rebecca Martin: Challenging for the right to face The Vice Squad for the NAW tag team titles, Marco Uribe and Diego Martinez, The Latin Kings!
Jim Torres: These could be the guys taking them titles off you..
Lance Carter: I very much doubt that..
Storytime" by Nightwish hits the PA system and David Fraggle and Euan Dante walk out to a chorus of boos, the loudest reaction of the night. They walk to the ring with purpose – gone are the days of playing up to the crowd. Keeping their eyes on The Latin Kings and climb through the ropes.

Gould: Well the V-List receiving a different reaction than usual tonight but having disrespected the fans here tonight I guess that’s to be expected.
Torres: Yeah I’m sensing a different attitude here now.
Gould: Let me ask you Lance, how do you feel about David Fraggle calling you out, saying he wants to face you?
Lance: You know, that’s fine. If he wants to fight me, we can fight any time. The Vice Squad don’t go around backing down from fights, especially from those who go around disrespecting others. I would have no trouble putting David on his back if that’s what he wants
Gould: And how about this match tonight, one of these two teams will be facing you guys at Spring Breakdown. Care to put your money on any one?
Hank: Well both teams have what it takes Malcolm..
Gould: Do I sense sarcasm there?
Hank: You’d make a damn fine cop there Gould my boy.. No, our money is actually on V-List to get the job done here tonight.. I know, shocking right?
Gould: Tonight? You say it like you don’t see them as a threat?
Torres: This is the 3rd straight show V-List have main evented, just look at them, they look like they’re ready to take the world on..
Hank: In short, no.
Gould: It looks like the match is about to get under way here..
Euan Dante and Diego Martinez are in the middle of the ring to start things off as the ref calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
The two men circle each other, each the taller member of their team. Martinez lunges forward to try and catch Euan but Euan ducks out of the way. They circle each other once before locking up, Martinez manages to get Euan into a wrist lock. He wrestles Euan down to one knee.
Gould: Diego Martinez is the tallest out of the 4 men, standing 6’ 4’’, giving him somewhat of a power advantage in the match here..
Euan gets back up on both feet but Diego whips him into the ropes. Euan bounces back and ducks a clothes, he rebounds off the other side but is caught by a knee to the gut and falls to the mat. Diego puts a couple of boots to the back of Euan before picking him up and taking him over to the corner. He tags Marco in.
Torres: This is some good work here early on from The Latin Kings.
Gould: That’s a tag by Marco who climbs to the top turnbuckle and takes Euan out with a flying clothesline.
The crowd cheer a little as Euan hits the mat. Marco picks Euan put and pushes him into the corner and proceeds to run into him with a corner splash. The crowd boo as Euan drops to his knees. Euan tries to use the ropes the climb back up but Marco stomps on his back. Marco allows Euan to climb to his feet this time but whips him back into the corner. He stands in the opposite corner and goes to attempt another corner splash but Euan ducks and falls to the floor as Marco hits the turnbuckle. The crowd boo as Euan reaches out to his partner, eager to join the match. Euan makes the tag just as Marco is getting back to his feet.
David climbs in to the ring to more boos and goes straight for Marco. He flies at him with a clothesline in the corner and follows it up with a few punches to the mid section.

Gould: What a counter!
Torres: This could be the end now if David can tag Euan in..
Gould: V-List have looked strong here tonight, wouldn’t you agree Vice Squad?
Hank: Yeah, you know, they’ve looked good, sure… Good enough to beat us Lance?
Lance: …..Nah.
Both men are lying in the center of the ring as their partners want in. David is the first to start trying to get to his feet. He edges towards his corner as Diego edges towards his. Diego makes the tag and Marco explodes into the ring, stopping David from making the tag. Marco drags him back to the center. Holding David by the leg, he’s perhaps trying for a leg submission or an elbow to the leg but David wriggles and kicks free. Marco immediately tries to grab David up off the floor but David again counters with a big DDT. He picks Marco up and takes him over to his corner and tags Euan in. He holds Marco up off the mat over his knee. Euan climbs to the top rope and hits Marco with a leg drop across the chest, forcing him to the mat and covers. Another TWO COUNT. Euan picks Marco up but Marco elbows him in the stomach and tries to make it to his corner but Euan stops him with leg lariat across the back. Marco jumps in to the ring and starts to beat Euan down but David comes running across and clotheslines Marco to the outside. They get up and start brawling on the outside.
Gould: Here we go folks, we have action on the outside here..
Torres: What a main event! Both these men want that title shot.
Euan and Marco are exchanging punches on the inside of the ring while Diego and David are brawling outside. Euan tries to suplex the Marco but Marco manages to get his foot in the way. Marco pushes Euan back and he accidentally catches the ref. Marco then catches Euan with a big boot. On the outside, David whips Diego into the steel ring post and he falls to the floor in pain, holding his shoulder. David turns and walks over to the announcers desk. The Vice Squad get to their feet as David starts yelling at them.
David Fraggle: You’re going down Squad! You’re going down!
David climbs on the apron to get back in the ring but Marco stops him at the ropes. He goes to throw David back to the ground but David sprays Green Mist into the face of Marco.
Torres: GREEN MIST! GREEN MIST!
Gould: That’s illegal…
Torres: There’s no ref..
Lance: Rookie mistake there..
Hank: We wouldn’t have fallen for that..
David jumps down from the apron as Euan hits the blinded Diego with a springboard Enziguri. He climbs to the top rope to go for his finisher – Top Rope Moonsault. The fans boo as he hits it and goes for the cover. The ref. has been stirring and rolls over to count the pin

Aftermath
The V-List stand in the center of the ring amidst all the boos. They pick the downed Marco Uribe up and look to be going for a double team move. The Vice Squad get up from the announcers desk and slide into the ring. They save Marco from a big double powerbomb and V-List slide to the outside. Vice Squad show off the title belts as the crowd cheer. Suddenly the V-List slide into the ring to try and sneak attack the Squad but they turn around and catch them before they can. The two teams watch each other. Vice Squad eventually leave the ring and begin to walk up the ramp. David Fraggle signals for a microphone.
David Fraggle: Hey Squad! We’ll see you at Spring Breakdown where we will take out the trash!
The two teams star down from the stage and the ring as the show goes off the air.
