LSW - Like A Rhyno On Smack
"Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begins to play out around the arena. An array of red, blue and white fireworks fly from the stage, video wall and ringposts as the fans jumps up and down, cheering wildly. The cameras pan around the arena focusing on a few individual fans before resting at the commentary table at ringside of Michael Barclay and Eric Raper.
Michael Barclay: Nemesis is just one week away and the fans are making sure the wrestlers know they are expecting a performance here in St. Louis.
Eric Raper: Things are gettig exciting here in LSW. We know Gabriel will take on Vincent Demichelis as he seeks retribution for Vicnent costing him his Hardcore Title.
Michael Barclay: That is booked for the main event, but there is sure to be a number of other matches on the night to get the fans going.
Eric Raper: As always.
Michael Barclay: But we have to focus on tonight's action as we have some great matches lined up.
Eric Raper: I can't wait for our first contest. Scott Carr's in ring debut.
Michael Barclay: There are certainly a few people eager to see it.
Eric Raper: And also Tj Codair's debut. It's all going on.
Michael Barclay: There are certainly some interesting times ahead and we are going to have to head backstage now as we have word that TJ Codair is just arriving at the arena and Kerin Atcher is out there to try and catch him.
The scene opens up as TJ Codair is seen entering the arena on a 2009 Harley Davidson Sportster as he pulls into a parking spot. He gets off his Harley as Kerin Atcher walks up to him.
Kerin Atcher: Codair, Codair.
Codair turns and sees Kerin Atcher walking towards him, as he lights up a cigarette and waits for her.
Kerin Atcher: Can I have a quick moment to speak to you.
Tj Codair: Sure, what about.
Kerin Atcher: TJ Codair, your match with Ronnie McNeil tonight, your very first match here in the LSW. How do you feel about this?
Tj Codair: Um, how do I feel about this, im ready to go. Im ready to walk down that aisle and throw someone a beating. Unfortunatly for him, hes the first guy thats been thrown into the Wolverines Den.
Kerin Atcher: Oh well thats great, how do you feel about the way im dressed tonight, does it look good.
Tj Codair: Um excuse me
Kerin Atcher: How do I look
TJ Codair just looks at her confused, as he looks over her red blouse, and black skirt, and her recently permed hair.
Kerin Atcher: Well, what do you think.
TJ Codair shrugs.
Tj Codair: Well um, sorry, i think the outfit makes ya look fat.
Kerin Atcher's jaw drops as TJ Codair begins to laugh as he walks away.
Eric Raper: He can't talk to Kerin like that.
Michael Barclay: And what are you going to do about it?
Eric Raper: Well...I'm not going to do anything. But someone should.
Michael Barclay: We may have to search for someone to undertake that quest later as we need to kick things off here.
Eric Raper: Sweet. DBR!!!
Michael Barclay: Tony Malato, Chris Sanders and Scott Carr all look to take a win into Nemesis as they square off in a Hardcore.
Eric Raper: Carr should be right at home.
Opening Contest The house lights go out, the opening of the Space Odyssey blares over the pa system as multi-colored lights dance to the beat of the song. After a few moments, "Handsome" Tony Malato comes strutting out through the curtains. He stops at the top of the stage, puts his hands on his hips and with a cocky grin on his face, just shakes his head in disappointment at the crowd.
Denika Andersen: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is the openning contest of the evening and is triple threat match to be contested under hardcore rules. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 245 lbs and hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada...Tony Malato!!!
The crowd boo at the sight of the brash young wrestler as he holds his hands up in the air as if to say "Look at how great I am." He continues down the ramp, heckling the fans along the way. He climbs the steps and wipes his feet before entering the ring. He walks to the center of the ring with his arms in the air once again sayin' "Ain't I just awesome?!" then walks over to the ropes, leans on them and looks onto the crowd with a cocky grin, heckling the fans at ringside.
Denika Andersen: And his opponent...
"This Calling" by All That Remains begins to blast out around the arena as the arena lights desend into complete darkness. Suddenly there is a blast of flames from the surrounds of the stage as Scott Carr stands at the top of the ramp. There is a huge cheer from what has become known as a "cult" following of DBR throughout his years in the ring.
Denika Andersen: Weighting 420llbs and hailing from Amprior County, Ontario Canada...please welcome, making his Last Stand Wrestling debut..."Da Big Rig" Scott Carr!!!
Carr reaches out into the audience as he starts down the ramp. He slaps the palms and pounds the fists of the out stretched hands of the unsettlingly loud fans brandishing his merchandise. DBR makes his way across the ramp like this the whole way down, seeming to enjoy the contact with his sadistic fans on both sides of the ramp way although he does also seem to take great revelry in throwing the occasional middle finger in the faces of those who jeer him. DBR finishes his saunter down the last of ramp way, he then rolls under the bottom rope into the ring, rolling up to a knee in the middle of the LSW logo - he jumps to his feet and holds his right hand palm outstretched - towards the agitated and excited members of the crowd, as if feeling the air and electricity that pulses from their chants. DBR thrusts both arms into the air and the two ring posts and the apron behind him all erupt into a huge wall of flame that makes a silhouette out of him but lights the rest of the entire arena.
Michael Barclay: A big entrance there by Scott Carr.
Eric Raper: A man as twisted as him can do what the hell he wants to, I'm not going to tell him not too.
Michael Barclay: That is very true...
Eric Raper: Look at Tony Malato, even has slipped out the ring before Carr came out.
Michael Barclay: I'm guessing he knew about the flames.
Eric Raper: I'm guessing he is scared!
Malato rubbishes the claims of him being scared by Raper as he slides into the ring to stand opposite Scott Carr in the ring, both of them with one eye on the ramp.
Denika Andersen: And finally...
The lights dim and "Rock Is Dead ("Primetime" Mix)" by Marilyn Manson hits the stadium. The guitar riffs start out slowly and continue on for about forty seconds, the drums kick in and leads the crowd into the theme of "Primetime" Chris Sanders. Silver confetti shoots into the air in simultaneous movement with the drum beats. The vocals kick in, cutting the music off, as the crowd watches the entrance way waiting for Sanders arrival.
Eric Raper: He's taking his time.
Michael Barclay: Guess he is wanting a big entrance.
Eric Raper: Fuck that, I want to get the fight going.
The fans continue to wait for Sanders to appear as "Rock is Dead" continues to play, however Scott Carr has clearly had enough of waiting for his first taste of LSW in ring action as he lanuches towards Tony Malato.
Michael Barclay: Carr is not going to wait any longer.
Eric Raper: Good stuff.
Carr lands a couple of powerful blows across the back of the shoulders of Malato as he is caught off guard. Malato is forced back towards the corner and is caught in the midsection by a couple of stiff knees from Scott Carr. In an early attempt to show off his power DBR grabs Tony Malato by the throat to lift him out of the corner and throw him across the ring.
Michael Barclay: Nice show of power by Scott Carr there.
Eric Raper: And there is a lot more to come.
Malato is clearing winded but doesn't stay on the canvas as he begins to pick himself up, that quickly proving to be the wrong move as Scott Carr drives him back into the canvas with a vicious spear.
Eric Raper: A 450 lbs spear, that has got to hear.
Michael Barclay: Scott Carr clearly he means business here in LSW.
With Malato down Scott Carr drops to his knees before rolling out of the ring. Carr lifts up the ring apron, routing around under the ring before returning with a variety of weapons which he throws into the ring. Scott Carr rolls back into the ring now accompanied by two trash cans, a shovel, a kendo stick and a fire extinguisher.
Michael Barclay: What on Earth has he got planned with that? And why does he need a fire extinguisher of all things?
Eric Raper: I guess Scott Carr is the kind of workman that will use any tools to hand.
Carr lifts up one of the trash cans and levels Malato across the back with it, Malato still in pain with his stomach. Tony Malato rolls over onto his back, but this appears to be a bad decision, as Carr places the trash can over his face, and drives it into a metal heap with a leg drop.
Eric Raper: Yeah, that is what I came to see.
Michael Barclay: Scott Carr wants to bring violence to LSW and that is seemingly starting tonight.
Carr doesn’t allow Malato to rest and lifts him up, whipping him to the ropes, where he picks up the kendo stick and uses it to clothesline Tony Malto, Malato flipping over and landing square on his chest.
Eric Raper: 'Da Big Rig' is truly dishing out the brutality in the early going, and from this point, this match may be over in a few minutes.
Michael Barclay: It could be, but I hope Tony Malato can put up some kind of defence - more his sake more than anyone.
Carr gets a smile on his face as he looks at Malato, still in perpetual agony, and Chase goes for a cover.
...One!!! Malato kicks out before the three count.
Michael Barclay: Malato still with enough to kick out.
Carr takes offence to this kick out and proceeds to batter the kendo stick into shreds against Malato’s body, pieces of wood flying every where from each strike. Malato’s body is covered in red marks, and some blood has broken through the skin.
Eric Raper: He looks like a lepar now.
Michael Barclay: What a nice thought, Eric.
Eric Raper: It's true.
Michael Barclay: Scott Carr is being unrelenting at the moment...
Carr lifts him up, but Tony Malato decides not to be a punching bag and strikes Scott Carr in the lower regions causing him to crumpling on the canvas in considerable pain.
Eric Raper: ...and his nuts just got scrambled after that low blow!
Michael Barclay: Something tells me the World might be a safer place with more little DBR's running around.
Eric Raper: I wouldn't let him hear you say that.
Carr reaches for the ropes, grabbing hold of it and lifting his body up, but he is struck back down with the other trash can that Malato wields with evil intentions. Tony Malato strikes Carr a few more times, on the head, the body, and other places that seem magnetised to the dinted metal. Carr rolls around the ring before he stands back up, Malato hitting a dropkick on him that sends him over the ropes to the outside.
Michael Barclay: And Carr is in no man’s land right about now!
Eric Raper: This isn’t World War III Micky! It may turn into a war, but you don’t refer to this place as no man’s land! If that was the case, I’d have run away to avoid land mines!
Michael Barclay: Or bodies crashing through our announce table - which maybe more likely.
Malato leans on the ropes as Carr stands up to a vertical base, Malato leaping over the ropes and hitting a flip senton splash on Carr!
Michael Barclay: Tony Malato just used his body as a weapon!
Carr and Malato get back up to their feet, exchanging blows until Carr trips Malato, hooks his legs, and catapults him onto the announce table. Carr then burrows under the ring for more weapons, pulling out a table.
Eric Raper: HaHa, Scott Carr's got wood in the house!
Carr sets up the table adjacent to the announce table, where Malato is crawling on his knees. He then stands up and dives across both tables, knocking Carr down with a body press. Malato adds some punches to Carr after the manoeuvre, the crowd getting behind Malato as he tries to fight back after taking such damage already. Malato moves around the steel steps, Carr still down on the ground, and Malato pulls at another object from under the ring, which is a steel ladder.
Michael Barclay: A ladder! We know the partnership tables and ladders have had other the years, and it seems this relationship is not going to waste!
Eric Raper: It’s starting to become common place. When you see a table, you expect a ladder, and vice versa! Carnage awaits!
Malato brings the ladder around the ring and slams the end of it into the face of Carr, who had raised his body up before Malato got around. Malato then stretches out the sides of the ladder and tightens the hinges, setting it up so that it is facing the table lengthways. Carr tries to get back up again, but there is still room for Malato to grab the head of Carr and slam it into the steel steps, a small cut on Carr becoming slightly larger and bloodier. Malato grabs the body of Carr and lays it out on the table, and the crowd begin to shout in approval as they realise what is going to happen next.
Eric Raper: Michael, do you have any eye protectors?
Michael Barclay: No I don’t. Why?
Eric Raper: Because after this, it’s a trip to the opticians to remove pieces of broken table from my eyes!
Tony Malato begins to scale the ladder after he has posed to the crowd, getting half way until he sees Carr awakening. Malato ignores him and continues to climb the ladder, Carr seeing Malato and climbing up with him, on the opposite side of the ladder.
Michael Barclay: Oh my! Both men are on the ladder, and what awaits them is a table that will not support the weight coming down from that height!
Eric Raper: I think Carr should have stayed down, and played possum!
Carr and Malato come face to face at the top of the ladder, where they begin to battle it out with punches and headbutts. Carr gets the upper hand and rakes the eyes of Malato, getting ready to drive him and himself through the table with a suplex.
Eric Raper: Brace yourself.
Malato escapes just in time as Carr clutches his pants, Malato kicking Carr in the knee from around the ladder. Carr is quick to retaliate punching Malato and grabbing his hair and pulling him around to his side of the ladder in front of him - twisting him so that he has is back to him. Carr hooks the waist of Malato, seemingly going to deliver a german suplex, but Malato holds on for dear life with his feet and hands, the crowd cheering and chanting loudly.
Michael Barclay: Don’t do this! You’ll break his back!
Eric Raper: His career’s going straight for the wood work! No pun intended!
The weight and force on one side of the ladder begins to make it tip over towards the table, but Carr balances it out by climbing around the other side after letting go of Malato, both men now changing places. Malato low blows Carr through the ladder rungs, and Carr leans on the ladder. Malato climbs higher up the ladder and stands on the very top. He raises Carr to the level just underneath his.
Michael Barclay: what the hell is he going to do here?
Eric Raper: I have no clue, but it looks good so far.
Malato looks over his shoulder, down at the table behind him but that seconds hesitation costs him as Scott Carr reaches up to grab the throat of Tony Malato. Malato tries in vain to breeak free but Carr uses his great power to push up and throw Malato backwards off the ladder with a modified choke slam that sees him crash through the table below.
Eric Raper: Yeah boy!
Michael Barclay: Oh my God. Scott Carr has just thrown Tony Malato off a ladder through a table.
Eric Raper: That was sick.
Michael Barclay: Malato is out of it.
Scott Carr causally climbs down the ladder before walking over to Malato who is laid amoung the broken wood of the table. He looks down at Malato before dropping to his knees and laying across him.
...One!!! Michael Barclay: Scott Carr picks up the win in his LSW debut.
Eric Raper: It was a great effort my Tony Malato but DBR proved too much tonight.
Michael Barclay: And he maybe feeling sore for a while because of it.
WINNER: Scott Carr
"This Calling" by All that Remains begins to play as the referee tries to raise Carr's hand - only to have him rip his hand away so hard, the referee loses balance and ends up toppling to the floor flat on his ass. The Denika Andersen steps up and says...
Denika Andersen: Ladies and Gentlemen...here is your winner...Scott Carr!!!
Scott snatches the microphone from the Denika who looks as if she's going to say something to Carr, until Scott looks her dead in the eyes with all the warm, stone expression of a corpse. The announcer backs off without a word and Carr glares directly into the camera as Malato lay strewn across the ground motionless. Carr's music cuts out as he begins to speak.
Carr- The Ripper... The Hardcore Title... and the chance for me to REALLY make a big impact here - are as close as the Pay Per View! Ripper... you've got a title I could come for - Twenty-Four, Seven. You have something I could just come take. But you're being given one last chance to be a real man... I'm offering you one single moment in your life to pretend you've got a motherfucking spine! Look at these two... just look at them!
Carr leans down over the motionless body of Tony Malato - a sinister smile creeps across his face as he does. Carr slaps Tony across the face in a massive showing of dominance and disrespect before saying...
Scott Carr: Tony... hey Tony... you got knocked the Fuck Out, son! Where's your motherfucking slingshot now, Davey? Eh? ARE YOU INTIMIDATED NOW, BITCH? Where's all the brash bravado you had a few days ago? Oh... that's right... I JUST BEAT IT DIRECTLY THE FUCK OUT OF YOU!
Carr's ice cold eyes lock onto the camera again as he straightens himself up and steps on Tony's chest as he moves himself closer to the ropes.
Scott Carr: Ripper... I'm challenging you to a match, and it's one that even your good Doctor should appreciate... You and Me - Hardcore Title ON THE LINE! In... an Ambulance Match! The rules are simple... I beat you unmercifully until such a time as I feel suited to strap your sad sorry ass to a gourney and lock it in place in the back of an Ambulance! It's not a complicated match... in almost twenty years in this business... I've never lost one - but it is a match that's a benefit to you - because either way... you're going to end up strapped to a gourney in the back of an ambulance. My challenge... just offers you a few steps in the middle to be removed. Accept it... because I swear on every single person and innanimate object you've ever held dear - if I have to come looking for you on the night of the pay per view, you won't need an ambulance... you'll need a motherfucking hearse. Don't focus on your excuses this time around, Ripper - Focus... on the... Danger! NOW... sound guy - hit my motherfucking walking music.
Carr tosses the microphone and exits the ring as "This Calling" by All that Remains begins playing again. He walks up the ramp and disapears out of sight, leaving Tony flat out canvas - a sobering message to The Ripper, and everyone else in Last Stand Wrestling that All Hell has Broken Loose... and his name is Scott Carr.
Eric Raper: Scott Carr wants The Ripper at Nemesis.
Michael Barclay: And one way or another he is going to get him.
Eric Raper: The Ripper better get his clones back.
Michael Barclay: He may need it to save his title.
Eric Raper: For sure.
Michael Barclay: We now head backstage to see the fallout of last week where a masked individual earned himself a contract with LSW through pinning the head of security.
The camera cuts to inside Brandon Matthew’s office, he slides an LSW branded contract across the desk as the camera pans out it shows the masked individual standing the other side of the desk. Brandon Matthews suspends a pen in front of the masked individual.
Brandon Matthews: I think you’ll find everything is in order. No need to go into the details it’s just one of our standard issue contracts you sign on the dotted line and its official you’re an employee of this company as promised.
The masked individual goes to take the pen but Matthews pulls away.
Brandon Matthews: You know I have to admit I was surprised last week. I mean there was obviously a chance that you would end up the victor and earn a contract. That was a risk I was willing to take, I wasn’t surprised you won. What surprised me was when I watched you in the ring. You’re no first timer, no jobber, no chump...you’ve been in a ring before. Which obviously makes me wonder...what are you doing here?
There’s an awkward silence as the masked individual refuses to answer.
Brandon Matthews: Hmm, you see I am the owner of this company. You want to know why I’m the owner because I like being in charge. I like being in control. I don’t like it when I’m out of the loop if you understand what I’m saying. I look at you and there’s that mystery, that big question mark and I don’t like it. You know the saying ‘keep your friends close and your enemies closer’ well I’m keeping a very keen eye on you because to tell you the truth I don’t know what you are. But I’ll give you a chance. Now before you sign that contract you must understand this isn’t me doing you a favour. You will work for that contract you will earn every minute I let you hang around this company. You will perform in that ring when I demand it. As long as you understand that then by all means sign your life away.
A slight smile crosses Brandon Matthews’ face as he presents the pen to the masked individual once again. He snatches the pen signing the contract giving it little attention before tossing the pen back in Brandon Matthews’ direction before swiftly departing the office. Brandon Matthews slides the contract towards himself.
Brandon Matthews: So we now have a name for the man with no name. Ignis...well Ignis we are going to be working very closely over the coming weeks...closer than you may of anticipated I fear.
Eric Raper: What does he mean by that?
Michael Barclay: Mr Matthews obviously has something in mind for the man who seem to now know as Ignis.
Eric Raper: What kind of a name is Ignis?
Michael Barclay: His...I am guessing.
Eric Raper: Well aren't you a smart fucker.
Michael Barclay: Quite, but we cannot linger on that as we have to get to the ring for our second contest of the evening, Gabriel taking on Ripper.
Eric Raper: The hardcore Champion has to face the man who he took the title from, but his gold is not on the line.
Michael Barclay: Gabriel has his sights set on Demichelis, and Ripper has to watch over his shoulder for Scott Carr now.
Eric Raper: Let's get to the action.
The scene opens up to Steve Posey putting on his ref's shirt, and getting ready for tonights bout. All of a sudden though, a dark shadowy figure knocks Posey out. in one quick movement.
Michael Barclay: What the hell just happened? I think Steve Posey might be hurt. Someone get some medical attention back there.
Eric Raper: Who would want to take out Steve? That doesnt make any sense.
Michael Barclay: Who is going to call the match now?
Eric Raper: Search me...
Singles Match Denika Andersen: The following match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, from Louisville, Kentucky, weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the LSW Hardcore Champion, The Ripper!
As the theme for Saw hits the PA system the lights go out. At the 22 second point Nympheta walks out holding a whip She kneels down on the ramp and as she does The Ripper walks out. He looks at her and tells her to rise. She rises and they walk to the ring. When they get to the ring The Ripper climbs up onto the apron and enters the ring. The lights go back on and the music stops.
Michael Barclay: Now this match will be very interesting because it’s the current hardcore champion vs what many might consider our best hardcore champion to date.
Eric Raper: Well The Ripper has his time with the title now and so far not many people have been bold enough to even attack the champ.
Michael Barclay: Well except for Scott Carr.
Eric Raper: We both know that’s a sore subject for Ripper
Denika Andersen: And his opponent, hailing from Miami Florida, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the no 1 condender for the world title, Gabriel!
The lights go dim, and the stage is flooded with a dark blue as “Remember the name” hits the PA system. Gabriel emerges through the back in a long leather coat, stopping at the ramp and kisses his two fingers, touches his head, his heart, and then points his index finger to the sky. Gabriel acknowledges the fans as he makes his way slowly down the ramp, and roles in the ring. Gabriel bounces off the ropes a few times before handing his leather coat the ref, and stands, in his corner.
Eric Raper: So what the hell are we going to do now that we don’t have a ref?
Michael Barclay: Well these two are already familiar with Hardcore rules, let them go at it like that.
Eric Raper: I'm all for that!
White lights flicker around the stage area as
'CHANGE IS NOW' flashes on the big screen.
Michael Barclay: What the hell is the meaning of this!?
Vincent Demichelis emerges from the back wearing a black and white stripped shirt, with an LSW logo stamped on the chest.
Denika Andersen: And making his way to the ring, tonight’s special guest referee, Vincent Demichelis!
Gabriel puts his hands on his hips and shakes his head, he can barely believe it.
Michael Barclay: And Gabriel does not look happy at all.
Eric Raper: Some how I think the LSW got the right man for the job. Who better to referee then the world champion?
Michael Barclay: But in a match where one of the man is the no 1 contender for the title? I don’t like this one bit.
As Vincent makes his way to the ring, Gabriel looks over the ring ropes, his eyes focused on the champion. As he does, The Ripper takes advantage by clubbing Gabriel in the back of the neck while he’s off guard. The blow takes Gabriel back as The Ripper whips him into the corner and comes hurling at him with a big clothesline that takes Gabriel off his feet and into a seated position on the turnbuckle. The Ripper takes advantage by putting his big boot into Gabriel’s neck, choking the life out of him. The world champ has yet to make his way to the ring as he slowly, trying to unstrap his World title from his shoulder.
Michael Barclay: What the hell? Where’s Demichelis making the 5 count on this hold? The match has been going on for 45 seconds and already he’s not doing his job.
Eric Raper: Hey give the guy a break he’s trying to make a good entrance here. He cant just run into the ring and drop his world title on the ground. Do you know how many crazies are in here that would try and steal that thing the second it hit the ground.
The crowd starts booing The Ripper and he has had enough of it as he breaks the hold himself and starts to walk around the ring, cursing the fans as they continue to boo him. He turns his attention back to Gabriel only to be hit with drop kick to the leg. The Ripper drops to one knee, and Gabriel bounces off the ropes, and gives him a hard kick to the face. The Ripper is on his back now as Gabriel drops to one knee, and puts his hands around the neck of The Ripper, returning the favor from earlier before. Without warning Demichelis drops his title and slides in the ring, breaking Gabriel’s hold but kicking his hands away from The Rippers neck.
Michael Barclay: Now that’s just classless.
Eric Raper: What that the ref was doing his job? That kind of a choke is illegal Michael. Idiot.
Gabriel gets to his feet and starts getting in Demichelis’s face about the hold being broken. Demichelis just laughs as he holds out his shirt. As far as he is concerned he is the law in this match tonight. Gabriel shakes his head as he tries to pull The Ripper to his feet as he is given a few stiff shots to the gut by The Ripper, and the Ripper bounces off the ropes and hits Gabriel with a shoulder block. The shot causes Gabriel to stumble backwards and The Ripper capitalizes with a quick firemans carry and a stomp to the middle of the chest.
Michael Barclay: Well involved in it or not, you have to give The Ripper credit for handling this match the way he is now. I know he doesn’t want to get in the middle of this feud that Gabriel and Demichelis have going on, so he’s taking advantage the best way he can.
Gabriel starts to make his way up as The Ripper looks to send a big right hand to his face. But Gabriel blocks the shot and answers back with a shot of his own. The Ripper tries to again throw a punch towards Gabriel but he again blocks it, and sends a knee to the gut of The Ripper, and follows up with a belly to belly suplex. The suplex doesn’t stun The Ripper for too long as he is back on his feet quickly. But Gabriel counters The Rippers rush attack with a drop toe hold, followed by a leg drop that takes The Ripper to the canvass. Gabriel goes for a quick pin. But Demichelis is busy adjusting his boots to count the pin. Gabriel gets off of The Ripper and claps his hands together, trying to get Demichelis to count the pin. Demichelis looks ‘shocked’ that there was a pinning situation going on.
Michael Barclay: Now how in the hell is Gabriel going to even win this match if the ref wont count the pin?
Eric Raper: Oh don’t get your panties in a bunch, Demichelis was just temporarily distracted. No ones perfect.
Gabriel picks The Ripper up and whips him into the ropes. Gabriel ducks down, looking for a back body drop but The Ripper comes in with a hard kick to the chest, standing Gabriel up, and then taking him down with a hard clothesline. Just as Gabriel’s trying to get up from the shot, The Ripper grabs a hold of him and hits a big piledriver and goes for the pin. Demichelis makes a very quick count
...One!!! Kick out.
Michael Barclay: Did you see that? That was almost a 3 count when it should have been no more then a one count, possibly even a one and a half.
Hardcore Triple Threat
Tony Malato Vs. Scott Carr Vs. Chris Sanders
...Two!!!
...Two!!!
...Three!!!
The Ripper Vs. Gabriel
...Two!!!
...Thr...
Eric Raper: Would you give Demichelis a break. This was the first time he’s ever counted a pin in his life, he’s still getting his referee legs out from under him.
Michael Barclay: You realize that most people find Demichelis to be a Jack ass right?
Eric Raper: I think he’s misunderstood.
Gabriel can barely regain his barings as the Ripper again picks him up, and this time puts him between his legs. The Ripper hoists Gabriel up for a power bomb position, resting Gabriel up on his shoulder. But the no 1 contender starts to fight back, sending down a rain of punches on The Ripper, forcing him to let go as Gabriel slides down off of the Ripper. Gabriel bounces off the ropes and gives a drop kick to The Ripper, causing the Ripper to lose his balance and bounce off the adjacent ropes. As The Ripper comes back, Gabriel hits him with a running high knee, dropping the Ripper to the ground. The Ripper starts to slowly make his way up as Gabriel stalks him, waiting for him to make his way completely up.
Eric Raper: This could mean bad news for The Ripper. I think Gabriel’s looking for The Fall from Grace.
Michael Barclay: That running high knee is how Gabriel likes to set up his opponents. It causes them to become dazed and confused so that he can finish his opponent off.
Just as The Ripper makes his way up, and Gabriel gets ready to finish him off, Demichelis stumbles into Gabriel, knocking him down, and taking away Gabriel’s kill shot.
Michael Barclay: Ok, enough is enough. I know these two are going for the title within a week but Demichelis doesn’t have to do it like this. Just let the match be and then he and Gabriel can tear each other apart at Nemesis.
Gabriel can barely take it any more as he stands up and gets into the face of Demichelis, shoving him hard into the ring post. Just as it looks like the two are going to start mixing it up, The Ripper sneaks behind Gabriel, looking for the Asiac Spike. But Gabriel sees it coming, and turns around and hits The Ripper with a hard right hand and then kicks him in the gut, hitting the Fall From Grace. Gabriel stares at Demichelis as he makes the pin. Demichelis shakes it off, and gets down to very slowly count the pin.
...One!!!
...Two!!!
...Three!!!
Denika Andersen: And here is your winner by pinfall, Gabriel!
Demichelis rolls out of the ring, all the while staring Gabriel down as Gabriel celibrates his win with the crowd.
WINNER: Gabriel
Michael Barclay: Vincent Demichelis tried to slow things down for Gabriel, but the win was still his and he can head into Nemesis on a high.
Eric Raper: Things took a bit of a twist between them this evening, I can't wait for their match at Nemesis.
Michael Barclay: The first defence by Demichelis will definately be an interesting one.
"Cut My Life Into Pieces.
This Is My Last Resort."
The music continues as the arena is now red with lights througout the arena. Sean comes from behind the curtain with a designer suit on and his right arm is in a sling.
Eric Raper: What a surprise! The American Dragon is here in St. Louis.
Michael Barclay: And you can tell the shape that arm is in.
As the he continues to the ramp strobes of white lights blend in to the red as the guitar riffs of the song play. He reaches the ring steps and let Terry go up first and get in the ring. Sean then slowly go up the steps as he looks out at the crowd booing with some cheering for him.
Eric Raper: Why are people booing an injured man?! Stupid ass people in Missouri.
He climbs the steps and gets in the ring. He goes to the other side of the ring and gets the microphone from Denika who is on the floor. His music stops and the crowd is booing. There is some that are trying to fight the jeers and are cheering him on. He just looks out in the crowd with an emotionless face. Then he brings the mic up to his face.
Sean Nosawa: This is why...
It is hard to hear him through the crowd. He gets a little louder.
Sean Nosawa: This is why...
Still the crowd noise is stifling.
Sean Nosawa: This is why I treat pieces of shit like you they way I do! You guys have no respect. Why would you boo a fallen hero.
Michael Barclay: Hero?!
Sean Nosawa: Here I am with a fucked up shoulder and it happened because I wanted to entertain fans like you. I didn't want the fans to go home disappointed but I guess you all did not appreciate that. Then I come to a shit hole like St. Louis, Missouri to give an update in person.
The crowd starts up again but this time Sean is not stopping.
Sean Nosawa: You all can continue to boo but I don't care. You all will not stop me from talking. Even though you shits do not deserve, I would like to inform you that I am rehabbing this shoulder and I am on track to come back in late October, early November.
Eric Raper: Great to know. I need to get that down in my planner.
Michael Barclay: Seriously?
Sean Nosawa: And when I come back I have one thing on my mind and that is James Gabriel.
The fans cheers.
Sean Nosawa: What in the hell is wrong with LSW awarding Gabriel a shot at the Heavyweight championship after taking me out of action? Can someone answer that question for me? Gabriel is being comended for his actions while I sit out and watch that shit climb to the top of LSW. I know you are in the back listening, Gabriel I guarantee that when I come back it will be me and you buddy. When I make it back here it will be hell and I promise that. So you better get this all out of your system. You better have a fun time while I'm out. Gabriel I will make you pay for what you have done. We wouldn't have a problem if you didn't stick you nose into my business but instead you signed your death wish. One way or another I will make you pay like you had me.
The crowd goes back to booing.
Sean Nosawa: Last thing, when I was home in Honolulu, I decided that it wouldn't be right for you all to forget this billion dollar face of mine so I came up with the conclusion that in one fashion or another I will be on LSW programming. So right now I am getting out of the ring and I will be joining the broadcast team.
Eric Raper: No way! We are going to have Sean as a guest. Michael don't say anything stupid.
Sean Nosawa: Ladies and gentlement have a great night.
Sean's music stops as he drops the microphone and leaves the ring and heads over towards the commentary desk.
Before Nosawa can take his seat at the desk "Undead" by Hollywood Undead begins playing on the PA system. The crowd cheer in anticipation unsure who is about to appear. Nosawa searches the table for a headset but there is not a spare one around so he shouts to one of the stage hands who rushes up the ramp as "Undead" continues.
Michael Barclay: I don’t recall this entrance theme. Is this yet another new signing for LSW?
Eric Raper: Mr. Matthews is always on the hunt for top quality talent I’m sure whoever descends that ramp will be a worthy addition to the LSW roster, but we are going to have to wait for Sean's views on it all.
Michael Barclay: I'm sure we are all less off for that, Sean.
Ignis Fatui emerges from behind the curtain, the crowd give him a mixed reaction still unsure of his intentions.
Michael Barclay: Well it is a new signing, the masked man who earned himself a contract last week, a man who signed that very contract earlier tonight. A man who we found out from that very contract refers to himself as Ignis.
Eric Raper: This is ridiculous. An overzealous fan who got lucky in a match last week against an overweight, under qualified, borderline useless head of security. Fans at home will be pleased to know that we at LSW have appointed a new firm to assist with all security matters. A new security firm that knows exactly how to deal with punks like this Ignis.
Ignis Fatui descends the ramp looking distantly into the crowd. He reaches the ring and rolls under the bottom rope, getting to his feet he looks around the arena waiting for the crowd to calm down before raising the mic to his mouth.
Ignis Fatui: I...
Brandon Matthews: Cut that mic, I want that mic muted.
Brandon Matthews emerges from behind the curtain at the top of the ramp. Mic in hand he paces back and forth at the top of the ramp staring at Ignis in almost disbelief.
Brandon Matthews: What in hell’s name do you think you’re doing? This is my company, my show, you are my employee. You do as you’re told you don’t go down to that ring unless I tell you to, you don’t go home until I tell you to, you don’t take a dump backstage without clearing it with me first.
Ignis raises his mic in an attempt to reply but its been cut off.
Brandon Matthews: No, you don’t talk unless I tell you to. Earlier tonight you signed a contract. A contract with this company that you so desperately wanted. A contract that specifically outlines your role in this company. You need me, I don’t need you. You are the one who came begging to me for a deal. I was true to my word. I gave you a contract. But unlike the other guys backstage I added in some clauses. I had to cover myself and my company. I have the power to terminate your contract with immediate effect and with no severance at any time. You not only signed a contract to work for me. You signed away your right to any creative control, you do what I tell you to and if you don’t I tear it up right there and then and you go home and I get on with my life and you cry about your missed opportunity.
Brandon Matthews pulls out Ignis Fatui’s contract from his back pocket and holds it up in the air.
Brandon Matthews: Now do I tear this up now or do you show that you’re a model employee and walk back up this ramp and off my show.
Eric Raper: I knew it. I knew our boss wasn’t that naive. He always has something up his sleeve whether its the latest big signing or making sure chumps like this don’t take liberties.
Michael Barclay: It would appear so but what will Ignis decide.
Ignis looks hesitant to leave the ring, kicking the bottom rope out of frustration he throws the mic onto the canvas smashing it. Before dropping to the floor and rolling out of the ring. He proceeds back up the ramp towards Brandon Matthews who folds up his contract and returns it to his back pocket. As Ignis passes Matthews he stops squaring up to Matthews who looks at him confidently.
Brandon Matthews: That mic, that’s coming out of your paycheck.
A smile crosses Brandom Matthews’ face as Ignis Fatui accepts defeat backing down to him and disappearing backstage.
Eric Raper: Brandz just showed who who is really in charge.
Michael Barclay: Mr Matthews certainly making sure that he has a close eye on this "Ignis".
Eric Raper: Don't blame him.
Sean Nosawa: That's bull shit. But if more fans want to jump in the ring I will gladly show them what LSW is all about, even with my shoulder.
Michael Barclay: I'm sure that won't necessary.
Eric Raper: It could be fun though.
Michael Barclay: Well it seems as though Sean Nosawa will trying out is announcing chops right now.
Eric Raper: And I am pretty sure he will be phenomenal at it.
Eric Raper: Sean let me be the first to welcome you to the broadcast position.
Sean Nosawa: Thank you Eric. I cannot wait to see some great action from the next the competitors coming up.
Michael Barclay: Well let's go to our ring announcer Denika Andersen.
Sean Nosawa: She's looking good tonight!
Singles Match
Axl Dempsey Vs. Anton Steele
Camera goes to Denika who is standing in the middle of the ring.
Denika Andersen: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!.
"When It's Time To Party
You Know We'll Party Hard!"
The heavy yet melodic "Party Hard" by Andrew WK begins to blast out around the arena as the fans are brought to their feet in cheers. The stage area is a wash with flashing orange and red lights as Axl Dempsey bounces his way out from behind the stage curtain to greet the fans. He stands at the top of the ramp before tugging on the front of his t-shirt 3 times and throwing his arms into the air at the top of the ramp as an extra cheer goes up from the fans. Dempsey looks up around the fans for a moment before beginning to sprint down the ramp, sliding under the bottom rope smoothly into the ring.
Denika Andersen: Introducing first, hailing from Southhampton, England...weighing in at 232 pounds...Axl Dempsey!
He quickly pouches to his feet before running to the far turnbuckle and jumping up onto it. He looks out over the fans, performing his shirt tugs and throws his arms up into the air once more. As the fans continue to cheer, Axl graduates from the second turnbuckle where he is stood - to standing on the top turnbuckle. In a quick and fluid move he throws himself backwards in a moonsault to stand on his feet in the ring, ready to compete.
Michael Barclay: Axl is one of several stars here in LSW that is wanting a shot at the vacant LSW Prodigy Championship that was once held by Sam Manson. The guy you took out Sean a couple weeks ago.
Sean Nosawa: Oh no, poor Sam. He lost his championship. I think he should thank me for putting him out instead of him embarrasing himself even more. He lost more when he had the title then before.
The arena suddenly goes pitch black as "First Class Citizen" begins to blast over the P.A system and with the spotlight at the top of the ramp, Anton Steele emergies from behind the gorilla with Micky Danger by his side and as he stands at the top of the ramp, holding his arms in the air, the red & white pyro goes off on both sides of him and only when it finishes does Anton Steele begin to make his way down the ramp with Micky right behind him, getting a negetive response from the crowd.
Denika Andersen: And his opponent, hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada...weighing it at 240 pounds...Anton Steele!
Anton Steele, first talks trash to the fans in the front row then begins to walk up the steel steps, looks at the crowd and enters the ring, holding his arms in the air. As the music cuts off, Anton Steel removes the robe, passing it to Micky then waits for the match to begin.
Michael Barclay: Last week in Chattanooga, Anton had a great showing but in a losing effort against someone you should know well Sean, Gabriel.
Sean Nosawa: Can you tell me why Gabriel is getting a shot at the heavyweight championship after taking out an essential part of the LSW roster?
Michael Barclay: Essential? You've had one match Sean.
Eric Raper: Shut up Mikey! This man is huge piece missing from LSW and when he comes back I believe that this company be even better than it is now.
Senior referee, Roger Humphreys, keeps the men on their respective sides and then calls the bell for the match to get underway. Axl goes in for a tie up but Anton rakes him in the eyes instead.

Michael Barclay: Sean can I ask if why should we feel bad about your injury when you took out Sam just minutes prior to your injury?
Sean Nosawa: What?! I don't need anyone to feel bad for me but I don't think I should get more respect that I have been getting tonight. I do have millions of fans that are worried about me so I don't need your sympathy from you Barclay.
Axl lifts Anton and puts his head in between his legs and goes for a piledriver but Anton grabs onto Axl's leg. Axl pounds on Anton's back until he broke the hold on his leg.

The camera shows Axl leaving the ring showing some pain from his back but holding his arm up in victory as he makes his way up the ramp. As he nears the top of the ramp, Nosawa takes off his headset ready to follow him up the ramp and make his exit.
Michael Barclay: We'll be right back after some news from Mark Capener about Nemesis.
Eric Raper: Talk to me Markie.
Generic rock music plays as the graphics for Nemesis is shown on the screen. Then the graphics flash to Mark Capener who is in the Nemesis control center.
Mark Capener: Welcome to the LSW Nemesis control here on Defiance. Nemesis is this Sunday live from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois and only on pay-per-view. As of today the event is almost sold out, so fans in the Chicagoland area and around the world who have not got their hands on tickets should get them as they are just about out in Rosemont. With that here is the card so far for this Sunday night.
Graphics flash and the Ripper and Scott Carr are shown posing.
Mark Capener: The Hardcore title scene has been very active and this will be no different. The Ripper has survived the 24/7 rule so far but he will put the title up this Sunday night against Scott Carr.
Graphics flash and Lance Studd and Tony Malato is shown posing.
Mark Capener: This match has a lot of implication for each competitor. Lance Studd will step out of his tag team scene and will face Tony Malato in singles action. Brandon Matthews will be watching and the winner of this could be moving up the scales in LSW.
Graphics flash and Corey Gein and Ignis are shown posing.
Mark Capener: The "legend" Corey Gein and a virtual unknown are going to face off in another match that owner, Brandon Matthews, will be watching. If the winner impresses the man in charge, he will definitely be in a good position for a possible title shot at one of the champions after this pay-per-view.
Graphics flash and shows the Prodigy championship.
Mark Capener: Sam Manson is out at the hands of Sean Nosawa, himself is also on the shelf. That means the Prodigy title is now vacant. I can tell you that later tonight on Defiance there will be a special announcement concerning the LSW Prodigy championship.
Graphics flash and shows Gabriel and Vincent Demichelis posing.
Mark Capener: The main event of the evening will have the LSW Heavyweight Championship up for grabs as Gabriel will vie for Vincent Demichelis' championship. These two have been at it for several weeks and it all comes ahead this Sunday night at Nemesis.
The scene goes back to Mark as the music picks up.
Mark Capener: All of this action and more will come to you live this Sunday night only on pay-per-view. Now let's go back to Michael and Eric in the Chaifetz Center for more LSW Defiance.
The scene goes back to the arena.
Michael Barclay: What news, we have just heard...confirmed...that the Prodigy Title is going to be on the line - but Sam Manson is not going to be there.
Eric Raper: We saw it coming, but who is going to be in the match?
Michael Barclay: We have to await the announcement for that news.
The scene opens up backstage as TJ Codair is seen standing there looking at the camera.

"It's war and peace, it's more than beef
Must uphold the call you swore to keep

Under pressure, don't fold, man, hold your ground"

WINNER: Tj Codair
Eric Raper: TJ Codair with a very impressive victory in his first match in th LSW, Codair is a machine.
Michael Barclay: Codair is an animal, and quite honestly, in all honesty, ya got to keep an eye on him at all time.
As Tj Codair stands up in the centre of the ring, a large cheer from fans of his obnoxious behaviour, the video wall is lit up with the image of LSW owner Brandon Matthews who is sat at his desk in the backstage area.
Brandon Matthews: Well done Mr Codair, a good win there...
Michael Barclay: Is that what Brandon came on to tell Tj?
Brandon Matthews: ...as you may know...Nemesis is next week and I have been stuck for a match since my Prodigy Champion has been taken out. Sam Manson has proved he is a great champion, but the fact is I can't have one of my titles on the self collecting dust. That is why...as if this moment Sam Manson is no longer the Prodigy Champion - the title is vacant.
There is a gasp from the fans as they learn that Sam Manson has been striped of his LSW Prodigy Title due to failure to compete with injury.
Brandon Matthews: But that left me with an even thougher decision to make. You see...Axl Dempsey has been running his mouth about how he wants another shot at the title while Anton Steele arrived on the scene saying he deserved a shot...hell, the man you just beat has been stepping his game up recently....
Michael Barclay: Where is he going with this?
Eric Raper: Shut up and listen twat.
Brandon Matthews: When it came to deadline time, I couldn't decide on who I wanted in the match. I want the new Prodigy Champion to be deserving and someone that will prove to be a strong and fighting champion...and I figure the only way to get a Champion like that is to put the people through a match that makes them deserving. Therefore, next week at Nemesis...The Last Stand Wrestling Prodigy Title will be contested for in a TLC match between Axl Dempsey, Anton Steele, Ronnie McNeil and you, Mr Codair.
Brandon delivers his news as there is a big cheer from the fans inside the arena. A smile crosses the face of Tj Codair, who is still in the ring, before the video wall goes black.
Michael Barclay: Oh my, we will have a new Prodigy Champion at Nemesis.
Eric Raper: Tj can make it 2 for 2 and walk out with the gold.
Michael Barclay: There is so much talent going into that match.
Eric Raper: Yeah, but Tj will win.
Michael Barclay: Now we go to Mark Capner, who is standing by with our World Champion, Vincent Demichelis.
Vincent Demichelis has his belt over his shoulder, a stern look in his eyes and Alicia on his arm smiling in her sick and twisted fashion.
Mark Capener: Thanks Michael, now Vincent, you were guest referee earlier on tonight…how did you happen to end up doing that?
Vincent Demichelis: You win the award on asking questions nobody people care about. People like you are so stupidly ignorant it’s not even a joke. Why don’t you just run along you useless piece of shit.
Mark Capner hands the microphone over and leaves quickly.
Vincent Demichelis: Oh Gabriel don’t you hate the fact I constantly seem to have one over on you, sure other than your contract…but at the end of the day my friend do you really think I ever thought you’d just leave it? Your sickness consumes you and forces you to make the decisions you do. The only smart thing you’ve done in recent memory was refraining from putting your hands on me earlier tonight boy. My change is happening…it is happening now…and there is nothing you can do to stop it. It is why I’ve chosen to do something, to make our match special…to prove a point.
Vincent Demichelis: Our match will be sick, our match will be twisted, and all in all it will have such a profound effect on you…you will never be the same again! You will realise my change…you will understand my change…you will accept my change. OUR MATCH WILL BE A BLOOD BATH MATCH!
Vincent walks off with his World Title over his shoulder and Alicia on his arm.
Michael Barclay: A Blood Bath Match? What the hell is wrong with that man?
Eric Raper: Don’t let him hear you...
Michael Barclay: There is not much chance of that as we are out of time this week folks. Make sure you tune in next week, a day early, for Nemesis.
Eric Raper: You really don't wanna miss this shit.
The LSW logo appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen as we fade out from our show, the fans inside the arena still cheering wildly as if they don't want the night to end.
