Kingdom of Pride Presents: Death's Desire

[Jeremy Sterling]

As Death's Desire comes on the air, Keith Oswalt's voice can be heard welcoming the crowd to the show.

Keith Oswalt: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Death's Desire 2010! We have a loaded line up tonight and it all gets underway with the upcoming match between John Parker and Jaden Hunter!

"El Mudo - Chacarron Macarron" plays and the fans cheer. John Parker comes to the ring with a smile on his face, dancing atrociously to his music.

Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit! Introducing first, weighing in at 130 pounds, from Florida by way of Nottingham, England, John Parker!

The crowd begins to get vocal, as the arena lights dim to a dark green hue. Stepping through the entrance, Jaden Hunter smirks as he looks around the arena. "Warrior" by Disturbed begins to play now, causing the fans to boo loudly. Jaden strokes his beard quickly, and then frowns at the closest fan.

The fans begin to chant "XPLODE XPLODE XPLODE" as he makes his way down the rampway, gesturing for the crowd to be silent. Rolling under the bottom rope now, Jaden approaches a nearby turnbuckle, raising both fists upon his arrival. He then hops back down, turning to face the referee as his theme song slowly fades out.

Ike Rose: And his opponent, weighing in at 272 pounds, from San Francisco, California, Jaden Hunter!

Keith Oswalt: Both men here, while seemingly friends, both will give everything to win this match as Noble has made clear that the loser will face some form of consequences.

Eric Witz: That’s totally unfair. Kurt Noble’s just trying to get back at Jeremy Sterling, and he’s going to do it through Sterling’s most recent signings. I hope Jeremy Sterling doesn’t let his signings be punished because of Noble’s pill-popping bitterness.

Keith Oswalt: To be fair, Parker certainly deserves some from of reprimanding, given the way he shows no respect to Kurt Noble, and with Hunter standing up for Parker, he also deserves punishment.

As the bell rings, John Parker walks towards Jaden Hunter and extends his hand to his “friend”, however having scouted Parker in the past, Hunter is weary of Parker, knowing of the tricks he’s used on past opponents. Instead of accepting the handshake, Hunter glares at Parker, trying to tell him he’s not here to be his friend, instead he’s here to fight. Not understanding the message, Parker stands still, which only serves to irritate Hunter as Hunter now viciously kicks Parker in the stomach before throwing his forearm through Parker’s back, slamming him to his knees. After doing this, Hunter lifts Parker up in a gut wrench hold before gut wrench suplexing him and slamming Parker onto his back.

After hitting the suplex, Jaden Hunter gets right back up to his feet, and as Parker stumbles around to get to his feet, Hunter sprints towards him and lunges his foot at Parker’s head, however Parker, reacting instinctively, dives forward and instead of taking the full brunt of Hunter’s foot to his head, Parker tackles Jaden Hunter as his foot hangs on the top rope and Parker takes out his balancing leg! Falling to the mat, Parker quickly goes for a cover on Hunter,

1...

Parker is thrown up roughly four feet into the air, however Parker is able to turn this into a positive as he rotates his body into position and hit’s a pop up leg drop on Jaden Hunter!

Keith Oswalt: I may not like it, but that was incredible agility shown by John Parker there.

Eric Witz: I honestly didn’t know Parker had an ounce of athleticism in his body.

Keith Oswalt: I’m going to go on a hunch and say that that was more luck than skill.

Again going for a cover on Hunter after hitting the leg drop, Parker hooks Hunter’s leg, but Jaden Hunter quickly kicks out, again throwing him off but this time as Parker comes crashing down, Hunter moves his leg up above him and slams Parker in the jaw with his boot! After doing this, Hunter gets back up to his feet as Hunter walks around dazed. Running off of the ropes after dazing Parker, Hunter finally nails Parker in the head with a huge boot to the side of his head, knocking Hunter down to the mat. After hitting the pump kick, Hunter quickly lifts Parker back up to his feet once again, not quite done dishing out punishment. Having lifted Parker up, Hunter lifts Parker up with both of his hands before slamming him in the mat with a two handed choke slam!

After nailing the choke slam on Parker, Hunter looks down at Parker’s near lifeless body and shaking his head before finally lifting him up one last time, knowing what he needs to do to prove to not only himself, but also Kurt Noble that he wasn’t mercifully killing John Parker. Lifting Parker up onto his shoulders, Hunter viciously slams Parker down onto his neck with his finisher, The Hangman’s Noose (Death Valley Driver)! After hitting this move, Hunter covers Parker,

Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 5 minutes and 13 seconds, Jaden Hunter!

Keith Oswalt: In all honesty, I can’t say I didn’t see that one coming. That was a rather dominant victory for Jaden Hunter.

Eric Witz: Now I guess it’s time to wonder what’s in store for John Parker after being defeated by Hunter.

Keith Oswalt: Hopefully Noble will fire him and not allow him to be rehired into the company.

Moments after the bell rings, "Dance with the Devil" plays, and Noble walks out with a big smile on his face.

Kurt Noble: Congratulations Jaden. You actually managed to impress me by winning this match...but you and I both know I'm not out here to congratulate. See, I've been watching your actions over the past few weeks, and quite frankly, I see them as a bit hostile. You need someone you can really fight with, someone to take that little boy rage out on...and I think I've found you the the perfect person to test your strength against. Introducing, my new bodyguard....Storm!

After a few moments, Storm steps through the curtains, eliciting a huge boo. He and Jaden eye one another...before Storm begins to walk down to the ring!

Keith Oswalt: Looks like tonight starts off with a fight!

Eric Witz: Someone beat up John!

Storm rolls into the ring, and both men begin to hammer on one another! They trade blows, before backing up to the ropes. Jaden begins to lay into Storm, before being hit with a huge knee to the stomach. Storm pushes him into a corner, and hits a series of shoulder thrusts on him. However, Jaden fires back with a set of punches, following them up with an elbow to the bigger man's face. Storm stumbles, and Jaden takes him over the top rope with a clothesline. As Jaden gets up, Storm rushes foreard, spearing him into the steel steps! Jaden gets up, shrugging off the hit, before nailing Storm with a kick and then slamming his back against the announcer's table. Both men continue to trade hits, before a group of security guards rush down, and begin to tear the two apart! It takes a total of men men to pull Storm and Jaden apart, and neither appears ready to give up the fight!

Keith Oswalt: Jesus Christ! These two are just going at it, and it's taking the entire Pride security team to stop them!

Eric Witz: Jaden Hunter's one badass guy. Before Storm's leave of abscence, no one, and I mean no one could even level the guy...but Jaden Hunter looks to be the exception. Wow.

The two men are cautiously pulled away, as the scene fades to black.

[Jeremy Sterling]

As Death’s Desire cuts back to the ring, “Any Means Necessary” by Hammerfall begins to play as Bruce Hendrickson and Stephen Callaway walk out from behind the curtains. Receiving a chorus of boos from the crowd Hendrickson and Callaway walk confidently down to the rings, prepared for their match against the self-proclaimed Best Team Eva. More than ready to take the crown of being the best tag team ever, Bruce Hendrickson and Stephen Callaway slide into the ring and grin at each other as Ike Rose introduces them.

Ike Rose: The following contest is a tag team match and will be contested under Scramble rules! Introducing first, weighing in at a combined weight of 254 pounds, the team of Bruce Hendrickson and Stephen Callaway, Epic Angle!

“Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi begins to play following Ike Rose’s introduction of Epic Angle. Cheering, the crowd screams as Robbie Venom and Shawn Stevens walk out from behind the curtains. However, carrying on their shoulders they hold the former Kingdom of Pride Scramble championships. But, on the faceplates of the titles the KoP logo has been replaced with a BTE logo whereas the word Scramble has been replaced with the words Best Team Ever! Grinning as they hold their titles, the two men grin at each other before sprinting to the ring, resulting in Epic Angle sliding out of the ring as the Best Team Eva look at Ike Rose for their introduction.

Ike Rose: Introducing their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 437 pounds, they are the team…

Before Ike Rose can finish, Robbie Venom gets in his ear and whispers something to him.

Ike Rose: They are the “unofficial” Kingdom of Pride Best Team Eva Champions, they are the team of Robbie Venom and Shawn Stevens, they are, The Best Team Eva!

Now holding their championships above their heads, the tandem grins as they hold the belts to Ike Rose as he exit’s the ring. Finally, the two look back across the ring while deciding who will start the match off against Bruce Hendrickson as he stands in the corner.

Keith Oswalt: Those are the Scramble championships! Shawn Stevens and Robbie Venom, they’ve…

Eric Witz: They’ve defaced Kingdom of Pride property’s what they’ve done! That’s just another line they’ve decided to cross! Jeremy Sterling should have them sued for what they’ve done!

Keith Oswalt: The Scramble championships are no longer a sanctioned Kingdom of Pride title, in fact, they are no longer property of the Kingdom of Pride, rather they are Shawn Stevens and, technically, Johnny Dalton’s property, however it appears that Dalton has given the title to Robbie Venom! So by legalities, Jeremy Sterling couldn’t sue the two of them, even if he wanted too.

Eric Witz: Keith, please shut the fuck up.

Ringing the bell, the match finally starts off as it’s decided that Robbie Venom will start the match off against Bruce Hendrickson. As the bell rings, the two meet each other in the center of the ring, but as Bruce Hendrickson charges Venom to start the match off, Venom hits him with a drop toe hold, making him slam into the mat. Quickly moving around, Venom puts Hendrickson into a side headlock, but despite this, Hendrickson can pyramid up to his feet and is able to push Venom back to the ropes and finally push him off. Running back at Hendrickson, Venom levels Hendrickson with a leg lariat! Nearly decapitating Bruce with the incredible move, Venom quickly covers Hendrickson,

1...

Kick out! Knowing that all he had intended to do was force Hendrickson to expend energy, Venom doesn’t let the one count get under his skin as he pulls Hendrickson back to his feet before kicking him in the stomach and then rocketing off a snap suplex on Hendrickson. Rolling through the move, Venom pulls Hendrickson back to his feet, but instead of being able to hit another move on Hendrickson, Hendrickson punches Robbie in the stomach and backs him away from him. Now running at Bruce, Bruce shows off his ability to think quickly as he jumps up and nails a dropkick on Robbie, making him land on his upper shoulders, nearly being thrown out of the ring altogether.

Rolling out of the ring, Robbie Venom effectively allows Shawn Stevens to hop over the top rope and get into the mat himself, however as Stevens charges at Hendrickson, Hendrickson takes Stevens off of his feet with a belly to belly suplex. Both men are able to get back to their feet relatively quickly, however from here Hendrickson decides to slow the pace down decisively by locking Stevens into a hammerlock. Wrenching in the hold, Hendrickson then steps forward into a headlock, but only holds onto this for a few seconds before pulling Stevens down to the mat with a headlock takeover. Holding onto the move with his left arm, Hendrickson uses his free right arm to tag in Stephen Callaway, who hops up onto the top rope before diving off and hitting a diving knee to Stevens face!

Keith Oswalt: Despite having never teaming before, Callaway and Hendrickson definitely seem to have chemistry as Hendrickson uses his superior ability to chain wrestle to set Callaway up for the diving knee drop.

Eric Witz: Kill ‘em Stevie C! Be the best!

Keith Oswalt: I really shouldn’t ever expect you to call a match, sometimes I wonder if you’re even worth having on pay roll.

Eric Witz: I’m worth about as much as Robbie Venom, so you decide that one for yourself.

Following the knee drop, Stephen Callaway goes for a cover on Shawn Stevens, however as he does this Robbie Venom runs in the ring and stomps him in the back, quickly pulling him back up to his feet, Robbie Venom elbows Stephen Callaway in the face before throwing him to the ropes and as Stephen Callaway runs back at him, Venom rockets off a spinebuster on Callaway! Grinning after hitting that, Venom helps Shawn Stevens back up to his feet, and after doing this tells him something. Suddenly, Stevens ascends to the top rope as Robbie Venom grins before leaping up and hitting a huge standing moonsault on Stephen Callaway! As Stevens stands on the top rope, Bruce Hendrickson rapidly leaps up to the apron and from here climbs up to top rope after having swept Stevens feet from under him, making him crotch himself in the process.

After doing this, Hendrickson quickly flips over Stevens body and hit’s a sunset powerbomb on Stevens, crashing him down over Robbie Venom’s back! After hitting this move, Hendrickson grins and taunts his opponents while catering to the booing fans. After gesturing at the crowd, Hendrickson finally turns back to his opponent’s who are still laying over Callaway in a heap. Despite this, Hendrickson runs at them and punts Stevens in the head! Making him roll out of the ring after doing this, Hendrickson then lifts Venom up to his feet and finally throws him to a corner, face first. After doing this, Hendrickson helps Stephen Callaway back up to his feet. After having recovered, Callaway notices Venom in the corner and drops to his hands and knees just a few feet in front of him. As Callaway gets in position, Hendrickson sprints at him and runs on Callaway’s back using it as a step to jump higher before kneeing Venom in the shoulder’s ramming him chest first into the turnbuckles!

Landing on the top rope from this as Venom stumbles back and trips over Callaway’s body, Hendrickson finally leaps off of the top rope and hit’s a huge back senton on Robbie Venom! Instantly after doing this, Hendrickson goes for a cover on Venom,

Kick out!

Eric Witz: Damn it! Come on Bruce, kill that asshole!

Keith Oswalt: I suppose we can throw any advertising that we’re family friendly entertainment away.

Eric Witz: That should have been thrown away when it was announced that a pill-popper was the owner of the company.

Keith Oswalt: I can’t believe you just said that.

Slamming the mat in frustration, Bruce Hendrickson gets back up to his feet, however as he gets up to his feet, Shawn Stevens sprints at Hendrickson and demolishes him with a Diamond Fire (Running Diamond Cutter)! Driving Hendrickson’s face into the mat, Shawn Stevens quickly gets back to his feet and almost sensing behind him, he backflips and crushes Stephen Callaway with a pele kick! Rolling out of the ring after being hit from the kick, Callaway collapses on the ground as Stevens now turns his attention back to Bruce Hendrickson and lifts him up to his feet before helping to revive Robbie Venom. Lifting him up, Stevens instructs him before lifting Hendrickson up off of the mat.

After having lifted Hendrickson up to his feet, Stevens kicks him in the stomach before lifting him up and nailing him with the Shades of Silver (Twirly Cutter)! After driving Hendrickson into the mat with the move, Stevens grins as he looks up at Robbie Venom who leaps off of the top rope and nails the Venom Splash (630 Splash) on Bruce Hendrickson! After hitting this, Robbie Venom goes for a cover as Shawn Stevens protects the ring,

Ike Rose: Here are your winners, at 14 minutes and 24 seconds, the team of Shawn Stevens and Robbie Venom, the Best Team Eva!

As Robbie Venom and Shawn Stevens have their arms raised in victory, the two grin at each other, however as they do this, Stephen Callaway rushes into the ring, with both of the Best Team Ever championships in his hand, slams them into the back of Stevens and Venom’s heads! Knocking them down with the blow, Callaway helps Hendrickson up to his feet as they both get out of the ring, and despite being in pain, hold the Best Team Ever Championships over their heads as they walk to the back.

Keith Oswalt: The Best Team Eva gets the win, but Epic Angle steals their championships!

Eric Witz: Finally the Scramble championships are back in the hands of a respectable team!

Keith Oswalt: I can’t believe you condone this behavior, it’s unacceptable!

[Jeremy Sterling]

The camera fades to the back, where Alex Avice is standing next to Josh Eagles, who seems to be a bit unnerved.

Alex Avice: Ladies and gentlemen, I am…once again…joined by the “Valiant Champion” Josh Eagles, who will be-

Josh Eagles: Excuse me, but what did you just say?

Eagles seems thoroughly annoyed at Avice, who knows exactly what he’s talking.

Alex Avice: I was just introducing you to the Pride audiences at home…

Josh Eagles: Yeah, I heard that part. I also heard that disbelief in your voice in calling me the Valiant Champion. Ever since I won this title, you’ve been bitching me out every single week, at every single chance. What gives Alex? When are you going to accept that I, Josh Eagles, am the Valiant Champion?

Alex Avice: Well…when you prove to me that you’re not a fake Champion Josh. As far as I’m concerned, you’ve been off your game since “winning” that title, and I don’t expect much to change in the future. You need to prove to me that you deserve that title, and then we’ll talk about me accepting you as Champion. So, “Champ”…before you go out there, any final thoughts?

Eagles stops to ruminate over an answer.

Josh Eagles: The rumors have been flying rampant for weeks…that I screwed over Chris Hart, that I’m secretly in cahoots with Kurt Noble, that I’m actually Freddy Kruger…wait, that’s Orge Lambart. Anyway, they’re all false. I’m the most honest to God competitor in this promotion, and I intend to prove it. Chris Hart has been a good friend of mine for a long time…but to prove that I’m the best, and that I do deserve the Valiant Championship…I will defeat him. Again. Now get out of my way Alex. I’ve got a match to win.

Eagles eyes Avice, before walking off-screen. The screen fades to black.

[Jeremy Sterling]

The camera switches back to the ring, where Ike Rose is standing. The ring has been decorated in a Halloween fashion, with weapons of various natures on the outside. Most of which have a Halloween nature. They include broomsticks, cauldrons, bags of thumbtacks that resemble candy bags, and other various weapons.

Ike Rose: The following match-u[ is the Hardcore Halloween match! In this match-up, any and all weapons are legal, and there are no disqualifications or count-outs!

Before the music starts, the voice of Johnny Noble echoes throughout the arena:

The Kingdom of Pride has hundreds of stories to tell. This one makes the definitive impact...

The instrumental version of “Cells” plays throughout the arena. The fans waste no time giving an overall appropriate reaction to Johnny Noble just as he slowly walks through the curtain and down the ramp. He gives the occasional group of fans a calm glance, but he does not lose focus as he walks to the ring and climbs the stairs. Johnny flashes a few more fans a calm glance as he steps into the ring and stands near the ropes, putting his hands on his hips and looking around the ring with intensity.

Ike Rose: Introducing first, weighing in at 230 pounds, and hailing from Ontario, Canada…Johnny Noble!

Keith Oswalt: Johnny Noble is a tough son of a bitch, but this may not be his forte. Viciousness tends to favor Orge Lambart.

Eric Witz: That was before he became a burnt piece of popcorn. Now, it’s Johnny Noble that’s got the upper edge here.

Orge Lambart steps through the curtain next, his presence almost chilling the arena. He gets into the ring, and stares down Johnny.

Ike Rose: And his opponent, weighing in at-

Ike gets no time to finish his statement, as both men charge one another, and begin to throw fists relentlessly. Orge grabs Noble, and slams his head against a turnbuckle, but Noble knees him, and then begins his own set of punches. Both men are trading blows, until Noble punches Orge so hard a bit of his skin comes off! He freaks out, and the reaction gives Orge enough time to hit a boot on him to send him down. Noble rolls out of the ring, and Orge follows him. He grabs Noble, and then drops him with a quick DDT. He grabs Noble, and then slams him into the ring apron, before slamming his face onto the steel steps. Orge then grabs one of the nearby broomsticks, and slams it against Noble’s neck, casing his face to go right back into the steel steps. He leaves the wounded Noble alone, before searching under the ring. He pulls out a scepter of some sort, and goes to nail Noble, but ends up getting a knee to the gut. He leans over, and Noble reaches over, grabbing a pumpkin, before smashing it over the face of Orge, causing it to cave in!

Orge instantly goes down, and Noble throws him back in the ring. He then grabs the scepter, and gets back in the ring himself. He nails Orge in the stomach with it, and then in the back, causing him to fall over. Noble rolls out of the ring, and searches under the ring, pulling out some Halloween lights and a tomb! He slides both into the ring, and uses the lights to go and strangle Orge! He wraps them around his neck and begins to pull, not sparing Orge even a bit of breath.

Eric Witz: Classic slasher film in progress folks. Strangulation via whatever is lying around. I prefer the phone cord kill rom Halloween myself…

Keith Oswalt: Except that Orge isn’t a teenage girl. I mean, he might have stolen a few of their souls, but he doesn’t seem to be one…

Noble lets up, and throws the lights aside. He lifts up Orge, who responds with a few quick hands. He begins to lay into Noble. He hits him down…before looking over at the tomb! He lifts up the concrete object, and stands over Noble, before bringing it down…but Noble rolls out of the way just in time! Hit crashes, leaving a fair sized hole in the ring, also trapping the stone. Orge goes to pull it out, but before he can, Noble kicks him, and hits him with a belly to belly so that Orge lands back first on the stone! He twitches wildly, his back throbbing in pain. Noble makes a quick pin…

2…

Kickout by Orge!

Keith Oswalt: These two men have made an effective use of Halloween weaponry early on in the match. We’ve already seen Halloween lights, a broom, and now a tombstone come into play!

Eric Witz: Day of the Dead might be a legit thing if Orge doesn’t get up…

Orge does try and get up, but Noble kicks him in the face, sending him rolling out of the ring. He gets out himself, and both men begin to trade groggy hands. He pushes Orge up against the barricade, and the pulls of a fan’s mark, before putting it on Orge…backwards! He’s now blinded, and Noble hits a huge set of shots on him, before throwing him face first into the steel pole! He removes the mask, before grabbing a bag of thumbtacks. He opens it, and goes to shove Orge’s face into it, but Orge elbows him, and pushes him away. Orge then reaches under the ring and pulls out…A Machete!!! Several shots of shocked crowd members are shown, and Orge moves in on Noble, who looks shocked. Orge swings it, but Noble dodges the blade barely, before running back into the ring. Orge gets in, but he’s stopped by Noble, who punts him right in the nose, causing blood to flow freely from it. Noble then grabs the blade and tosses it out of the ring, before grabbing the bag of thumbtacks again. He begins to pour them all around the ring, but before he finishes, he’s blasted from behind by Orge Lambart. Orge grabs him, and in one move, slams Noble onto the thumbtacks!

He writhers about in pain, but Orge wastes little time. He goes outside the ring, and gets…a lighter and lighter fluid! The crowd goes crazy as he gets back in the ring, He opens the fluid, and pours a bit on the stinging back of Johnny Noble, before swallowing a bit himself. He lifts the lighter up, and right before he breathes, Noble kicks him in the shin, and tries to roll away…but Orge breathes, and fire shoots out of his mouth! Noble avoids most of it, but his back does get a bit scorched. He rolls around outside the ring, eventually rolling on a ghostly white sheet, which seems to help his back. Orge follows him, and appears ready to blow more fire…but Noble picks up a nearby rock, and throws it, cracking it against Orge’s skull!

Eric Witz: Oh…I get. “I got a rock!”

Keith Oswalt: Johnny Noble had better start praying to the Great Pumpkin that Orge doesn’t do that again…

Orge stumbles, his face bleeding profusely, and Noble throws him back in the ring. He grabs him, lifts him up…and hits a tombstone piledriver on Orge right on the tombstone! He pins him…

3!

Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 9 minutes and 32 seconds…Johnny Noble!

Keith Oswalt: Noble just survived ten minutes of Hell, and managed to avoid getting caught on fire to win this one.

Eric Witz: The fire…is out!

Noble rises, still wincing from the tacks in his back, He stumbles out of the ring, as Orge sits up and looks at him. The screen fades out.

[Jeremy Sterling]

The scene switches to backstage, where Robbie Venom and Shawn Stevens.

Shawn Stevens: Thanks for losing our titles, jackass! I kept them for years, and God forbid Robbie Venom shows up and creates more controversy with gold…

Robbie Venom: Don’t call me a jackass, you…jackass! If you hadn’t noticed, I got the pin. I’m not sure what you were doing. Probably sitting around, getting older and more irrelevant. Triple S is about to become “Spending Social Security.”

Alex Avice: Uh…is something wrong here guys?

The two turn towards Alex Avice, who seems a bit cautious to approach BTE.

Shawn Stevens: No, we’re just yelling because it’s good for the lungs…

Robbie Venom: Of course something is wrong. The Worst Team Eva…

Shawn Stevens: EVA!

Robbie Venom: Just stole our tag team championships! I mean, really? We got tricked, now where’s the treat?

Alex Avice: You both are aware that the Scramble Championships are not current Championships in Pride, right…?

The two men do a doublt-take.

Shawn Stevens: Did you know that?

Robbie Venom: Oh Hell no…of course we know that! But, we had those titles for a reason. They may not be official, but they declare us as the best team the Kingdom of Pride has to offer. That’s what we just proved, and that’s what we’ll prove time, and time again. So you know what we’re going to do Alex? We’re going to get them back. We’ve got some surprises for Epic Angle on Oblivion, so you might want to watch out, because the Best Team Eva…

Shawn Stevens:E-

Robbie Venom: EVA…is about to plan the biggest heist ever. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve gotta head out. The Halloween party awaits.

Alex Avice: By the way…what are you two dressed as?

Robbie Venom: Me? No one. I’m just Robbie Venom.

Shawn Stevens: I’m Robbie Venom. I’m a dick that doesn’t dress up for Halloween. I do enough of that by wearing eye-makeup on Saturday night.

Robbie Venom:…I hate you.

The two men walk off, bickering as they do.

[Jeremy Sterling]

*Alex Avice is shown ringside holding a microphone. The crowd gathered at ringside are cheering loudly as Avice begins to speak.*

Alex Avice: What a great night of action we have seen so far and our next match is about ready to begin, but Kurt Noble and Jeremy Sterling wanted me to take a moment and welcome our very special guest...Ladies and gentlemen, the star of the upcoming film "The Chosen One"...LEGEND!

*The fans erupt in cheers as the movie star stands up and removes his sunglasses and flashes his million dollar smile to the camera.*

Alex Avice: Legend, what do you think about all the action you have seen so far tonight?

Legend: I got to tell ya, I've been nothing but impressed. I think these guys are really trying their best out there in that ring and I am happy to be here in...

*A huge man beside him whispers something in his ear.*

Legend: Cookeville! Its great I tell ya...GREAT!

*The crowd eats this up as Legend waves to them as Avice asks him another question.*

Alex Avice: I have to ask, who do you think is going to win in the main event tonight?

Legend: Well, I have real respect for both men. I mean, I am a huge fan of Jake Beagles...

*The man whispers in his ear again.*

Legend: I meant Josh Eagles of course, my tongue just slipped! My bad! But Craig Mart is one tough opponent and I doubt is just going to lay down for him! Its going to be full of action...Just like "The Chosen One" opening up this Friday! Don't miss it folks!

*Legend winks into the camera and takes a seat back at ringside as Avice shakes his head and turns to the camera.*

Alex Avice: That's all I got from ringside, now on to our next match!

"Just Like You" by Three Days Grace Blares over the PA system in the arena as Kid Flanagan makes his down to the ring holding a book bag, he gives some fans high fives before he gets into the ring. Finally he gets into the ring, he then starts going through his book bag, he then pulls out an two water pistols. He then yells "BOOM", then he leaps out of the ring and shoots some hot woman wearing an white t-shirt. Kid then yells "BOOBSHOT!". Kid Flanagan then gets back into the ring.

Ike Rose: The following match-up is a singles match scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 185 pounds, and hailing from Saint Paul Minnesota…he is the Kingdom of Pride Syndicate Champion…Kid Flanagan!

Keith Oswalt: It’s Syndicate title time! It’s been an incredibly violent night so far, and I doubt this match will be anything but that. These two have literally been going at it since Autumn Annihilation last month.

Eric Witz: You know, you’re kind of a selfish bastard. We have world renown actor “The Legend” here at our Pride event, and all you can focus on is wrestling! Like, what the Hell pal?

Keith Oswalt:…

The lights in the arena dim as "Black Celebration" by Depeche Mode begins to play. Immediately the fans boo loudly, and after a few moments Obscene walks out from behind the curtain, wearing a plain white t-shirt and black jeans. He stares at the fans with a malevolent expression on his face and slowly walks towards the ring and then up the ring steps. He climbs into the ring, and ignoring the boos he backs up into a corner of the ring, giving a sly nod to his small following of fans way back in the arena.

Ike Rose: And introducing his opponent, weighing in at 190 pounds, and hailing from Monterrey, Mexico…Obscene!

Keith Oswalt: I can’t tell what Obscene wants more here…to take the Syndicate title from Kid, or simply rid Pride of Kid Flanagan!

Eric Witz: You know that whole expression “two birds, one stone?” Yeah, Obscene takes that phrase to heart every morning when he shoots birds out of the sky.

Referee Chris Owens takes the championship belt from Kid Flanagan, holds it up, and hands it away as the bell rings. The two men get close, and Obscene snarls at Kid, before spitting at his feet. The two men then begin to circle about, before locking up. Obscene locks in a quick headlock, but quickly gets pushes off the ropes, right into a forearm shot from Kid, who the runs off the perpendicular set of ropes. Obscene rolls over, and runs off the opposite set of ropes, and Obscene takes Kid down with running wheel kick. Kid tries to get up, but Obscene kicks him in the temple as he gets up, sending him back down. As Kid tries to get back up, Obscene hammers him with aggressive forearms, putting him in the corner. Obscene backs up for a second, but that gives Kid enough time forward to slam an open palm on Obscene’s chest. As he’s leaned over, Kid kicks Obscene right between the eyes, before slamming his face against the turnbuckle. He then hits some chops on Obscene, before Irish Whipping Obscene…who reverses the move, and then hits Kid with a dropkick as he rebounds!

Obscene sits up, and then begins to choke Kid with his foot, totally ignoring the referee as he counts. He takes his foot off, before grabbing Kid, and throwing him out of the ring! Obscene then runs off the ropes, and as Kid gets up, graciously leaps over them, and slams down on Kid! Obscene pulls himself back in the ring, and the referee begins to count upward. At six, Kid tries to get back in the ring, but Obscene begins to kick him in the face, preventing him from doing so. However, at 9, Kid barely gets in the ring, much to Obscene’s grimace. On the outside, The Legend nods approvingly, before beginning to speak to the attractive young female next to him.

Keith Oswalt: Remember, here in the Kingdom of Pride, titles CAN change hands on count-out, something I’m sure Obscene is very heavily aware of.

Eric Witz: You know what I’m heavily aware of? Big boobs, Row A, seat 12. I’m sure Kid knows it too.

Obscene grabs Kid, and begins to choke him against the ropes, before lifting him to his feet. However, Kid kicks him in the stomach, and nails him with a quick backdrop. Both men struggle to get up, but eventually do. Kid then tries to run off the ropes, but Obscene yanks him down by his hair! As Kid tries to get up, he gets a kick to the back, followed by a slap to the face, eliciting a yell from Chris Owens. Obscene lifts up Kid, and pushes him into the turnbuckle, before nailing him with a few chops. He pushes Kid, before Irish Whipping him…but Kid dodges a spear, causing Obscene to slam shoulder-first into the steel pole! He pulls himself out, but gets a kick to the side from Kid, followed by an Irish Whip which ends in a jumping knee strike! Obscene stumbles off the ropes, and Kid ducks, expecting a clothesline, but merely gets hit on the back. Obscene then lifts up Kid for a suplex, and then slams him on the ropes!

Obscene follows it up with a swift kick, making Kid nearly loses his balance on the apron. Obscene then goes for a springboard dropkick, but Kid slides back into the ring, causing Obscene to barely land on the apron. Kid then runs off the ropes, and hits a HUGE Kid Kick (Superkick) on Obscene, sending him face-first to the floor below! Wasting little time, Kid then gets on a turnbuckle, and jumps off, hitting a clothesline on Obscene in mid-air! The Legend claps at both of them, and both men slowly get up. Kid eyes him cautiously, before throwing Obscene back into the ring. He then tries to get on the turnbuckle, but a few hard shots from Obscene stall him. Obscene then gets up on the turnbuckle, but Kid jumps forward desperately, hitting Obscene with a huge cutter! Kid rolls over and pins Obscene…

Kickout by Obscene!

Eric Witz: You know, I bet Kid Flanagan is someone that enjoys Halloween. The out-there costumes, the candy, the teen boobs everywhere.

Keith Oswalt: It’s nice that you too notice the teen boos…

Kid tries to grab Obscene’s legs, but he kicks Kid off of him. Obscene then charges Kid in the corner, but Kid pulls himself up. To retaliate, Obscene slides out of the ring, and trips up Kid, before pulling his face over the apron. He then begins to rip at Kid’s eyes, attempting to blind him! Kid manages to pull his face away, but he does have a few scratches by his eyes. Obscene gets in the ring, before getting on the top turnbuckle. He then jumps off, hitting an uneven moonsault on Obscene, but Obscene rolls through with the move…

Kickout by Kid!

Both men get up quickly, and Kid kicks Obscene in the stomach, before lifting him up for the Kid Wins (FU). However, Obscene squirms off his shoulders, and goes for a Penetrator (Evenflow DDT), but Kid spins out of it, kicks Obscene in the stomach, and lifts him up on his shoulders again for the Kid Wins. Obscene squirms again, this time grabbing on the nearby ropes. Kid then throws him off his shoulders, and Obscene barely is able to land on the apron. He grabs Kid, and jumps down, pulling Kid’s face against the ropes. Kid stumbles back, and as Obscene springboards himself into the ring, Kid catches him and nails Obscene with a Powerbomb! He pins Obscene…

Kickout by Obscene!

Keith Oswalt” Kid is showing that resilience of a Champion! Go Kid, go!

Eric Witz: The only thing scary thus far is the fact that Obscene hasn’t won. Go Obscene go!

Obscene then rolls out of the ring, and begins to lean against the guard rail, catching his breath. He looks over at The Legend, who mocks him by yelling “Breaks are for the B-Listers!” Obscene doesn’t take kindly to this comment, and pushes The Legend! He falls down, and the crowd begins to boo Obscene. The Legend gets up, and looks like he’s about to fight Obscene, but instead, Chris Owens gets between them. Suddenly, the big guard next The Legend lashes out, pushing both Obscene and the referee down! Kid gets out of the ring, and goes to grab Obscene, but he nails Kid with a low blow!

Eric Witz: HE FUCKING SHOVED THE LEGEND! NOOOOOOOO!

Keith Oswalt: Thanks for that voiceover Darth Vader…

Kid nearly falls, before being thrown back in the ring by Obscene, who then lifts up Kid and nails him with an Obscene Driver I (Delayed Michinoku Driver)! Obscene yells for a new referee, and Chris Owens barely gets back in the ring to count the pin…

Keith Oswalt: NO, NO, NO!

Eric Witz: He got it!

3-NO! Kid kicks out just in time, and the crowd goes wild! Obscene hops on top of Kid, and begins to attempt to remove his eyes with his fingers! Kid rolls about, doing everything he can to stop the assault. He pushes Obscene away, and Obscene begins to kick Kid, mixing in a bit of blood from Kid’s eyes. Kid then gets lifted up…but he gives Obscene a thumb to the eye in retaliation! Obscene stumbles around, but walks right into a Kid Wins! Instead of going for the cover, Kid locks in Da Tapper (Walls of Jericho), and Obscene can’t even see the ropes! He covers his eyes, and yells out in pain. He raises his hand, and with no choices left, taps out!

Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 14 minutes and 44 seconds…and STILL the Syndicate Champion…Kid Flanagan!

Keith Oswalt Kid Flanagan retains! You know Obscene can’t be happy about this. He and Kid were going pretty even until he got mixed up with The Legend, who seems to have impacted the outcome of this match.

Eric Witz: This is scandalous! Where’s TMZ when you need them?

Kid stands up, and takes his title, but cannot help notice The Legend as he storms off his bodyguard, angry about the incident with Obscene. As he’s watching The Legend, Obscene runs from behind Kid, and pushes him down, before rolling out of the ring angrily. Despite this, Kid seems amused, knowing he’s won the battle.

Keith Oswalt: That, ladies and gentlemen, is the smile of a Champion!

Eric Witz: Yeah, yeah. I’m just upset now. Obscene lost and The Legend left! What a ripoff!

The scene fades to black.

[Jeremy Sterling]

Switching to the backstage area, Alex Avice can be seen standing in front of a Kingdom of Pride banner. Joined by the former Kingdom of Pride Valiant champion Chris Hart, Alex Avice begins to interview him.

Alex Avice: Joined at this time by the challenger for the Valiant championship, Chris Hart, I have to ask, what are your thoughts headed into this match tonight against Josh Eagles? This literally is a moment of life or death for you, as if you aren’t able to defeat Josh Eagles in the main event, Jeremy Sterling has promised to have you fired.

Chris Hart: To be honest, I’m not thinking about it. I know what I have to do, I know what I’m capable of doing, and I know what Josh is capable of doing. At this point, there’s no use in thinking about the match, as the more I think about it the more worked up I’ll get and stressed out I’ll become. I can, and will beat Josh Eagles tonight and regardless of whether or not he meant to cheat in our match, I’ll prove that I am the only true Valiant champion in Kingdom of Pride.

Alex Avice: You sound incredibly confident going into this match, but don’t you have anything to say to Jeremy Sterling for having put you in this position to begin with?

Chris Hart: About a year and a half ago I would have had plenty of negative things to say about Jeremy Sterling and his preferred business practices, however as I’ve matured, I’ve come to realize that bashing Jeremy Sterling’s ideologies will gain me nothing but a poor reputation where I’m put in the position that I have only one option. So, no, I don’t have anything to say to Jeremy Sterling other than to thank him for the opportunity he’s given me to wrestle in the Kingdom. As for now Alex, I’ve really got to go prepare for the match with Josh, but if I don’t get the chance to later, thank you for the interviews and all the work you do here, it is greatly appreciated, not only by myself, but by the entire roster.

Following this, Chris Hart walks back to the locker room as Alex Avice can be seen left on camera.

Alex Avice: Despite the stress of the impending match over his head, Chris Hart remains to be incredibly classy with his words.

Finally, the scene fades out.

[Jeremy Sterling]

The lights in the arena go down as the opening beat of Where The Hood At hit’s the dark arena as the top of the entrance ramp fills with smoke. At the fifteen second mark the beat picks up as pink and gold lights start to flash all around the arena. At the twenty second mark lasers start to flicker all around as the entire entrance ramp is now covered in smoke as Chris Hart emerges from the back dressed in his long surfer style shorts and sneakers. He walks down to the arena bobbing to the beat, slapping the occasional one’s hand whilst carrying a smile on his facer. He slides into the ring and goes to the far corner, climbing the turnbuckle and throwing one arm up in the air. Chris then flips off the rope and turns towards the entrance way, staring anxiously up it in anticipation of his opponent.

Ike Rose: The following contest is the scheduled main event and will be contested under ladder match rules for the Kingdom of Pride Valiant Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, weighing in at 195 pounds, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, he is the former Kingdom of Pride Valiant champion, Chris Hart!

"King of the World" plays over the P.A. as the fans rise to their feet and cheer as Josh Eagles burst through the curtain throwing his 'Eagles' symbol high above his head. Slowly he makes his way to the ring slapping hands with fans, giving some hugs out and shaking hands. Finally he rolls under the bottom rope and stands in the center of the ring and throws his symbol up one more time to a huge up roar from the crowd and smiles before stretching and waiting for the match to get under way.

Ike Rose: And his opponent, from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 195 pounds, he is the current Kingdom of Pride Valiant champion, Josh Eagles!

Keith Oswalt: Finally, it’s time for the main event, and I’m sure this will be an absolute classic! This isn’t just an ordinary title match, no, because of Jeremy Sterling and Kurt Noble’s ongoing battle with each other, this match is going to determine Chris Hart’s stature in the company! If he wins, he will remain in Kingdom of Pride, however if he is to lose, he will no longer be allowed to wrestle in KoP.

Eric Witz: Definitely a huge match for Chris Hart, potentially the biggest in his career. He has everything to lose in this match, but also everything to gain. Josh Eagles on the other hand is in a very complicated situation. He’s fought tooth and nail to get to where he is, but now that he’s here, he finds himself at odds with one of his friends as if he retains his championship his friend will lose his job, but if he doesn’t retain, he will lose the title he’s tried so hard to attain.

Keith Oswalt: No doubt that there is definitely drama behind this match with huge repercussions for both man, regardless of the outcome.

Starting the match off, both men approach the center of the ring and shake hands, showing their mutual respect for one another, and despite the circumstances that brought them to this point, neither hates the other. After the handshake, the two engage in a collar and elbow tie up, but from here Chris Hart is able to put Eagles into an arm wringer, working over Eagles’s wrist. Despite the pain shooting into his body, Eagles is able to reverse the arm wringer and puts Hart into an arm wringing himself, but only holds this here for a few seconds before transferring the hold to a hammerlock. From here, Eagles wrenches on Hart’s arm, but suddenly, Hart throws his elbow back to daze Eagles and here reverses Eagles and puts Eagles into a hammerlock. Now holding his shoulder, Eagles attempts to elbow Hart to get out of the hold, however Hart is able to dodge Eagles. From here, Eagles now goes to Hart’s leg and pulls them out from underneath him!

Flipping Hart over, Eagles quickly drops down into a side headlock and begins to wrench back on Hart’s head. Despite having his head pulled back, Hart is still able to pyramid up and here he gets Eagles to the ropes and pushes him off. Running against the ropes, Eagles bounces off back towards Hart, but Hart shows his own reaction speed by leapfrogging over Eagles as Eagles hit’s the opposite ropes and Hart flips around, but this time isn’t able to react fast enough as Eagles hits him with a shoulder tackle, sending him down to the mat! After hitting the shoulder tackle, Eagles looks down at Hart before running to the ropes, but as he does this, Hart flips over on the way Eagles was headed and as Eagles hit’s the ropes, Eagles jumps over Hart’s downed body before running to the ropes again. As Eagles does this, Hart jumps up to his feet and as Eagles hit’s the ropes and runs towards Hart, Hart jumps up and quickly whips off an amazing head scissors on Josh Eagles, launching him back to the mat!

Rolling through the head scissors, Eagles gets back up to his feet, but as he does this Chris Hart is also on his feet and Hart hits Eagles with a quick arm drag. Both men again get back up to their feet quickly, and as Hart goes for another arm drag, this time Eagles is the quicker reactor, as he is able to take Hart off of his feet by hitting an arm drag of his own. Breathing heavily after the quick moves, both men get back up to their feet across from the ring at each other, grinning knowing that they are relatively evenly matched in skill, as shown by their quick exchange of moves.

Keith Oswalt: Excellent chain wrestling shown by both men as they are both able to counter one another’s offense and run to a stalemate.

Eric Witz: They are definitely both proving why they are, or were, Valiant champions.

Keith Oswalt: There’s absolutely no doubt about that. Both of these men are the best Kingdom of Pride has to offer and they are sure going to prove it in the ring tonight.

Grinning across the ring at one another, the two finally again engage in a collar and elbow tie up, however this time Josh Eagles breaks the exchange as he knees Chris Hart in the stomach to kneel him over. After doing this, Eagles wraps his arm around Hart’s head before throwing Hart’s own arm over his neck and quickly throwing off a snap suplex, slamming Hart’s back into the mat. After hitting the snap suplex, Eagles and Hart both get up to their feet but here Eagles is again able to take advantage of Hart as Eagles runs at Hart and nails him with a huge lariat, knocking him off of his feet. After having hit the lariat, Eagles lifts Hart up off of the mat and finally whipping him off to the ropes and stepping forward before dropping Chris Hart to the mat with a drop toe hold!

After hitting the drop toe hold, Josh Eagles again rotates his position to put Chris Hart into another side headlock. Again wrenching back on Hart’s head, Hart still manages to pyramid up to his feet, and from here he backs into the ropes and yet again throws Eagles off to the ropes. However, this time as Eagles runs towards him, Chris Hart also runs at Eagles and instead of letting Eagles hit him, Hart nails Eagles with a Saikyou high kick! Nailing Eagles in the face with his boot, Hart gets back up to his feet, having taken Eagles off the offensive and now going to work on his own.

Lifting Eagles up off of the mat, not slowing the pace down even a tick, Hart punches Eagles twice before lifting him up and hitting him with an inverted atomic drop. After hitting this, Hart throws Eagles to the corner before following him and nailing him with a corner clothesline! Dropping Eagles to the mat in the corner, Hart grins as he walks away a few steps before sprinting towards Eagles jumping up and hitting a beautiful hesitating dropkick on Eagles, slamming his feet nearly through Eagles’s face in the process.

Keith Oswalt: Back and forth action between the two men so far, but it seems to be in the former champion’s favor now as he nails that hesistant dropkick on Josh Eagles.

Eric Witz: Nails? That’s a bit of an understatement, he nearly kicked Josh’s face off with that move!

Following the dropkick, Chris Hart slides out through the ropes out of the ring. Here he grabs a ladder from ringside and attempts to lift it up, however as he is doing this, Josh Eagles seems to have recovered as he slides from underneath the bottom rope and hit’s a baseball slide on Chris Hart, ramming the ladder into his chest, knocking him down in the process. Sliding out after having kicked the ladder into Hart, Josh Eagles now picks up the ladder for himself but instead of sliding the ladder into the ring, Josh Eagles props the ladder up between the ring and the steel barricades. Now lifting Hart up onto his feet, Josh Eagles throws a strong elbow into Hart’s face.

After stunning Hart, Eagles throws his arm around Hart’s neck, and goes for a huge suplex over the ladder, however as Eagles goes to lift Hart up off of the mat, Hart hooks Eagle’s leg and is able to stop Eagles and instead lifts him up himself. Going to throw Eagles across the ladder chest first, Eagles doesn’t allow this as he instead drives his knee into the top of Hart’s head, being able to get himself down from Hart’s hold. From the suplex position, Josh Eagles cascades down from Hart’s shoulders and instead goes all the way to the mat, hooking Hart’s legs and slamming him face first into the ladder with a drop toe hold!

Knocking the ladder off of the position it’s in, Hart lays over the ladder as Josh Eagles gets back to his feet and from here, he pulls Hart off of the ladder and again throws Hart face first into the corner of the ladder, nearly busting his head open in the process. After hitting this, Eagles quickly pulls Hart back and again lifts Chris Hart up off of the ladder and from here drapes Chris over his shoulders before letting out a primitive scream and dropping Chris Hart over the ladder with the Eagles Wings (Celtic Cross)!

Keith Oswalt: Good lord! Hart may have been broken in two by that move! Josh Eagles just dropped him over the ladder with out an ounce of mercy! If anybody says he isn’t going all out in this match, they might as well just watch this match and they’ll realize that Josh Eagles isn’t taking it easy on Chris Hart.

Eric Witz: We wouldn’t expect anything less from Josh Eagles, especially if he wants to prove himself as a legitimate Valiant champion. Just with this match alone, Eagles, at least to me, has proven he’s worthy of holding the Valiant championship.

After hitting the brutal Eagles Wings on Chris Hart, Josh Eagles pushes Chris Hart off of the ladder before grabbing the ladder and pushing it into the ring. Breathing heavily as he climbs into the ring himself, Josh Eagles forces himself to climb into the ring and pulls the ladder up and sets it in the middle of the ring. Holding on the fourth rung of the ladder, Josh Eagles begins to climb up the ladder, however before he even climbs to the second rung, Chris Hart, showing a burst of energy, gets into the ring and throws Josh Eagles’s face into the ladder. Knocking him down off of the ladder, Chris Hart now grabs Eagles’s neck and hit’s a neck breaker on him. After doing this, Hart, breathing heavily himself as exhaustion begins to set in the long match, Hart lifts Eagles back to his feet before leaning him against the ropes as he puts the ladder in the corner.

Returning his focus back to Eagles, Chris Hart now kicks Eagles in the stomach before wrapping his arms around Eagles neck and hitting him with the Coldest Winter’s Night (Reverse Sleeper Jawbreaker). Knocking Eagles back into the corner, Chris Hart shakes his head at him now as he walks to the opposite corner and then comes charging in towards Eagles, leaps up and goes for a dropkick on Eagles, however at the absolute last second, Eagles moves out of the way and Chris Hart dropkicks through the ladder rungs and gets stuck in the ladder! Shaking his head at Hart stuck upside down in the corner in the ladder, Eagles finally rears his leg back before slamming Eagles with a huge superkick, cracking Hart’s head against the ladder.

After having nearly knocked Hart unconscious, Eagles rolls Hart’s body around, keeping him stuck in the ladder but as he does this, he mouths the words “I’m sorry” before hitting the Impact Asylum on Chris Hart, finally getting him out of the ladder as he cracks against Eagles’s foot and then rolls to the floor. Shaking his head that he’s having his friend fired, Josh Eagles finally grabs the ladder out of the corner and sets it up in the center of the ring before climbing up the ladder and ultimately unhooking the Valiant championship from the hanging rung. Taking in a deep sigh, Josh Eagles receives a bittersweet victory over Chris Hart, retaining his championship.

Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 32 minutes and 48 seconds, and still the Kingdom of Pride Valiant Champion, Josh Eagles!

Keith Oswalt: What an incredible match! But, what a bittersweet ending for Chris Hart! Both men gave it their absolute all, and unfortunately, because a petty argument between Jeremy Sterling and Kurt Noble, Chris Hart has to see his career in Kingdom of Pride come to an untimely end.

Eric Witz: An incredible shame, but there’s no doubting Chris gave everything he had in this match and sure as hell is going out with a bang.

As Josh Eagles sits atop the ladder, holding his Valiant championship on his shoulder, he attempts to grin, but as he does this, he looks down at his fallen partner, realizing that in the process of holding onto the Valiant championship, he has ultimately ended Chris Hart’s career. Reflecting on this, Eagles shakes his head, however as he does this, he is finally shocked as the ladder begins to tip from beneath him! Dropping the title as the ladder is tilted over, Josh Eagles is thrown from the top of the ladder down onto Chris Hart beneath him! As the camera pans out, it is revealed that his attacker is none other than the returning, Christian Kane! Grabbing a hold of Josh Eagles’s Valiant championship, Christian Kane raises the title above his head, staking it as his own before throwing it down outside of the ring at Josh Eagles as Death’s Desire finally comes to an end.
