"Never Understand" by The Jesus and Mary Chain starts to play and immediately the fans let Obscene know where he stands with a chorus of thunderous boos. Wearing a plain white t-shirt and black jeans, he walks down the ramp, shooting malicious looks at the front row. After he reaches the ring and climbs the steps, he gets in and backs into a corner. He wears a self-satisfied smirk as the crowd continue to boo. 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. The beginning notes of “Inside The Fire” by Disturbed are heard. Jason Phoenix walks out, looking at the crowd. He slowly stalks his way to the ring. He climbs in, waiting for his opponent, ready to fight.”Hate It Or Love It" by G-Unit begins to play as many of the fans in the attendance begin to make the sounds of the background chorus, chanting with the song, some fans begin to also boo as the song comes on and there, through the crowds begins to climb out Dru Tha Merc, sitting in a seat and looking around. Niles Markie is standing at the entrance, waving at his client! Hate it or love it, The underdog's on top,
And I'm gonna shine homie, until my heart stop...
Go head' envy me, I'm rap's MVP.
And I ain't goin nowhere, so you can get to know me.
Hate it or love it, The underdog's on top,
And I'm gonna shine homie, until my heart stop...
Go head' envy me, I'm rap's MVP.
And I ain't goin nowhere, so you can get to know me.
Dru Tha Merc strolls through the crowd, cracking his knuckles and taking a grasp of his hat, pulling it off his head as he looks around, then steps down onto the entrance way next to Niles. Together they walk to the ring. As Dru slides into the ring, the big brawler slapping his chest twice and pointing to the fans, motioning his fingers like a gun. He takes his hat and tosses it, as Niles makes a tsk-tsk-tsk sound and begins to talk strategy to his client. Niles Markie opens his briefcase and offers a tire iron to Dru, but before Dru can take it, the ref yells at both of them and the two men shake their heads before Niles walks out of the ring and stand by the apron, while Dru preps for his match, rolling his shoulders.
Hate it or love it, The underdog's on top,

Hate it or love it, The underdog's on top,
And I'm gonna shine homie, until my heart stop...
Go head' envy me, I'm rap's MVP.
And I ain't goin nowhere, so you can get to know me. The arena lights dim for a moment and crimson lighting then slowly pulses as the intro to "The Gun Show" plays. This goes on for around twenty seconds, building the tension for Pitbull's arrival until...
"WELCOME TO THE GUN SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!"
As the heavy guitar riff kicks in, Pitbull appears at the top of the entrance ramp and takes a look around the arena, snarling at those in attendance. The crimson lights flash rapidly as the monster of a man makes his way down the ramp, ignoring the booing fans. Once he reaches the bottom of the ramp, Pitbull takes another brief look around before climbing onto the ring apron and entering the ring. In the ring he walks to a corner and pounds the turnbuckle with his fist, before raising both arms in the air, letting out a guttural roar as he does so, letting everyone present know he's ready for a fight.
Pitbull then turns and stands in his corner, waiting for the match to begin.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled to be a 10 man All Star Elimination Tag Team Match! There will be no time limit and the last remaining team will be declared the winner! Introducing first, the team of Pitbull, Jason Phoenix, Dru Tha Merc, Johnny Noble, and Obscene!
The guitar riff at the start of 'Remedy' by Cold plays and he steps through the curtain he has as an entrance attire of a black coat. He stands at the top of the isle and makes a praying style taunt with a mattitude V1 hand gesture (he has three fingers together with his nose in the middle of the first two before wiping his nose in a Rikishi style before walking with a strut to he ring (he thinks he's God he's gonna strut) Once in the ring he moves to the first corner he can be bothered walking to he then climbs to the middle turnbuckle and does the same V1 Prayer tauntThe harrowing intro chords of "Wanted Dead or Alive" strum through the speakers as the crowd go alive with frenzy. The chords spark the nutcase fans as they stand on their feet in anticipation for their hero, the one and only Eddie Nash. As the slide guitar kicks in and smoke fills the arena the crowd go even louder until finally the vocals kick in."It's all the same... only the names have changed...
Everyday it seems we're wasting away...
Another place where the faces are so cold...
I'd drive all night just to get back home...
I'm a cowboy. On a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted... DEAD OR ALIVE."Nash steps out of the curtains, one arm raised overhead with his head hung low as the fans go absolutely ballistic for their hero, King of the Road Eddie Nash. Whistling, cheering and screaming is heard from every cranny of the building as Nash walks out onto the stage. He cocks his head up, a big grin splashed across his face as he leaps forward thrusting his arms out in an explosive movement to let the fans know he's here.Taking his time to walk down the entrance ramp he high fives his loyal fans, that happy smile never leaving his face for a second as he makes his hero's welcome to the ring. Climbing up the stairs, the heavy biker from Knoxville climbs through the second rope and raises his arm once again to another big pop from the crowd. Finally he walks to the corner and crouches down, stretching out his legs as he holds onto the top rope on either side of the turnbuckle for support waiting for his teammates to arrive.The lights in the arena go out completely, shrouding the crowd in darkness. The opening riff of "Tom Sawyer" hits and a trio of blue spotlights begin to circle the cheering crowd. Another blue light illuminates the entrance way as Eric Valor steps out, wearing his sunglasses and holding his arms in the air for the cheering crowd. He slaps the hands of the fans on his way down the aisle, stopping at the end of it. He reaches into his pocket and pulls of a small candy bar, handing it to a nearby child. The crowd applauds as Valor slides into the ring and the lights go back to normal."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.YOU READY? LET'S GO!
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
J EAGLES
Josh now emerges from behind the curtains with the Valiant Championship raised high about his head as 'Remember the Name (J Eagles)' by Fort Minor kicks into gear and the crowd goes wild as he points to them.
He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the ring or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But screw em, he knows the code
It's not about the salary
It's all about reality and making some noise
Making the story - making sure his game stays up
That means when he puts it down he's getting back up!
Josh now slides into the ring and raises the belt even higher above his head point all around the arena.
Who the hell is he anyway?
He never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leaving them star struck
Humbled through opportunities given despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a living from kicking ass
Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never asking for someone's help, or to get some respect
He's only focused on what he does, his will is beyond reach
And now it all unfolds, the skill of an artist
The song starts over again as Josh stands waiting for the match to start stretching in the corner.

Ike Rose: And their opponents, they are the team of Eddie Nash, Stephen Callaway, Eric Valor, the Kingdom of Pride Syndicate champion, Kid Flanagan, and the Kingdom of Pride Valiant champion, Josh Eagles!
Getting four men from each team out onto the apron, referee Chris Owens is able to get the match to start off between Kid Flanagan and Jason Phoenix. Circling one another for a lap around the ring, the two finally engage in a collar and elbow tie up, but Jason Phoenix takes advantage here and flips Kid Flanagan around putting him into a waist lock. Lifting him off the ground with the waistlock, Phoenix takes Flanagan down to the mat with a basic wrestling lift takedown. Pivoting over after taking Flanagan down, Jason locks Kid into a front facelock, but doesn’t waste time before taking his knees and drilling them into the top of Kid’s head, trying to knock him out with the hard blows. After several successive strikes, Phoenix begins to pull Kid back up to his feet, but before Jason can continue his offense, Kid pushes him off of him, and Phoenix runs back, hitting the ropes.
Bouncing back towards Kid, Phoenix lunges at him and takes Kid back down to the ground with a hard lariat. Both men go down from the shot, but Kid is worse for wear as Phoenix gets right back up to his feet and quickly lifts Kid back up as well. Not letting Kid recuperate from the lariat, Phoenix keeps up his flurry of strikes, kneeing Kid in the stomach to kneel him over before pounding his forearm over Kid’s back. Kid’s legs give out from under him and he falls to his knees, but Phoenix keeps his vice grip locked on Kid. Squeezing Kid’s head tightly, Phoenix now lifts him back to his feet, but doesn’t stop there as he lifts Kid full up into position for a suplex, but does this all without having wrapped Kid’s arm around his neck! Quickly, Phoenix falls back, sure not to lose his balance and Kid slams to the mat with a vicious thud. Rolling onto the cover Phoenix hooks the leg,

Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: Kid Flanagan just barely kicks out. You know Kid has to be looking to impress after he’s lost so frequently recently. It hardly seems like he’s even there.
Eric Witz: Jason Phoenix is also looking to kick some ass, as he’s been facing some stiff competition as of late, and even giving his best, he has been unable to come out on top. Right now, I think he’s showing why he belongs in the Valiant division.
Keith Oswalt: I may not be a fan of our resident arsonist, but the guy has talent, and heart, and those two things alone will take you far. If only he could focus on the wrestling, I think he would have had all the tools to become a future Valiant champion.
Getting irritated with Flanagan, Phoenix rips him up off of the mat before lifting him over head and walking to his side of the ring. Tagging in Obscene, Phoenix now slams Flanagan onto the mat, and as soon as this is done, Obscene hit’s a springboard senton on Flanagan. Not slowing down after hitting this, Obscene rolls through the move and gets back to his feet, and hops up onto the second rope. Flipping backwards, Obscene nails a lionsault on Kid Flanagan, again covering him, trying to have him eliminated.

Josh Eagles breaks the cover up!
Stomping Obscene on the head, Eagles lifts him back up to his feet and brutally chops him in the chest as the referee now steps in and tries to send Eagles back to his side. However, before he can do this, Pitbull gets into the ring behind Eagles and locks him into a full nelson before ripping Eagles up off of the mat and slamming him down, neck first into the mat! Now kicking Eagles out of the ring, Pitbull follows out of the ring and hit’s a few stomps outside of the ring on Eagles as the action between Obscene and Kid Flanagan picks back up. Getting back to his feet, Obscene looks at Kid Flanagan who rises to his knees and at this instant, Obscene runs at Kid and nails him with a beautiful shining wizard.
Nearly knocking the Syndicate champion out with this attack, Obscene doesn’t appear to be quiet done yet as he now lifts Kid back up to his feet, puts him into a cravate and now charges at the opposing team’s area and hopping up, Obscene nails a dropkick to Eric Valor on the apron before flipping backwards to hit a shiranui! Covering Kid Flanagan afterward, Obscene hooks his leg,

Ike Rose: Kid Flanagan has been eliminated!
Immediately following Kid Flanagan’s elimination, Eric Valor slides back into the ring and before Obscene can even react, Eric Valor nails Obscene with a running hesitant drop kick, slamming his boots right into Obscene’s jaw! Slamming back on the mat, Obscene quickly rolls out of the way, trying to get away from Valor as quickly as possible, however the infuriated Valor springs to his feet and as Obscene is on the floor, Valor claps his hands to get the crowd excited as he now hit’s the ropes and jumps over the ropes, clearing them cleanly, and does a twisting plancha on Obscene, slamming him down onto the floor!
Amazed by their athelticism, the crowd claps and hollers wildly for the two men, but as the attention is focused on them, Josh Eagles rolls back into the ring, however as he does this, Pitbull, appearing to have some form of vendetta with him, gets into the ring and as soon as Eagles gets up and turns around, Pitbull lays him out with an unbelievable spear!
Going for the cover on Eagles after hitting the brutal spear, Pitbull hooks the leg,

Eddie Nash breaks up the pin!
Keith Oswalt: Eddie Nash has Josh Eagles back! I can’t say I’m too surprised to see this ever since they shook hands. They appear to have a huge amount of respect for one another, and Nash saving him proves that further.
Eric Witz: Or… Or it proves that Nash just wants to see Eagles hurt, so he broke up the pin for Pitbull to continue to beat down Nash.
Keith Oswalt: You know, that’s actually a plausible explanation. I’d prefer to believe my explanation, but I wouldn’t put that past Nash, given his history.
Eric Witz: Oh Christ, you were just all over his dick, now your bringing his past back up!? Pick a side!
Within a second, Pitbull’s anger switches instantly to Eddie Nash as Pitbull stares up at him snarling. Nash responds by smiling as he gets out of the ring, leaving Pitbull to get back to his feet. However, Pitbull now walks towards Eddie Nash, but before he can so much as swing at him, Chris Owens gets in between them and pushes Pitbull back away from Eddie Nash, however as he does this, Josh Eagles rolls Pitbull up!

Kick out!
Now even more infuriated that he was almost pinned by Josh Eagles, Pitbull gets back up to his feet and looks at Eagles, however as he lunges at Eagles, Eagles moves out of the way and as soon as Pitbull turns back around, Eagles nails him with an arm drag. Both men pop back up to their feet and as Pitbull turns around again, Eagles goes for a dropkick, however Pitbull bats this away and now grabs Eagles and viciously tosses him into his corner. Looking at the battered Eagles, Pitbull begins to deliver several closed fist punches to Eagles face before finally tagging in Dru Tha Merc.
Getting into the ring The Gangstar grins as he pulls Josh Eagles up over his head before dropping him, allowing him to fall to the mat. Wasting no time, Dru lifts Eagles back up, but instead of grappling for any positions, Dru grabs Eagles by the throat and without even thinking slams Eagles down into the mat with a Bay Area Chokeslam (Chokeslam)! Driving Eagles down onto his neck with a brutal Chokeslam, Dru now looks at his opponents on the apron before placing his foot down on Eagles chest and stares down his opponents, insuring that nobody comes in.

Ike Rose: Josh Eagles has been eliminated!
Keith Oswalt: The Valiant champion has been eliminated! Both of the Kingdom’s champions have been eliminated!
Eric Witz: Hmm, thats strange. Honestly, I didn’t see that one coming.
Moving his foot off of Josh Eagles, Dru Tha Merc kicks Josh to the side before walking back out of the ring, however as he gets out of the ring, Obscene smashes Eric Valor’s face on the side of the apron and rolls him into the ring. Waiting to get into the ring himself, Obscene stands on the apron and waits for Eric Valor to get up. Shooting himself through the top and second rope, Obscene hit’s a roll through spear and rolls Eric Valor for a cover,

Kick out!
Eric Valor rolls back over onto his knees however as he does this, Obscene has popped back up onto his feet, and without so much as thinking, Obscene jumps up and hooks his legs on Valor’s neck before snapping off an incredible hurricanrana! Despite the lack of space to hit the move, Obscene somehow manages to squeeze his way into move and snaps Valor off, flipping him over! After having hit this move, Obscene goes for a cover on Valor, but Valor kicks out at one! After going for this cover, Obscene gets back up to his feet and pulls Valor up to his feet. However, before Obscene can take control of the situation, Valor nails a European uppercut on Obscene, knocking him back!
Taken off guard by the uppercut, Obscene looks back at Valor and sprints towards him, however as he does this, Valor appears to have been expecting this and whips Obscene over, hitting a powerslam! Rolling off of Obscene as Obscene lays on the mat, Valor now tags in Stephen Callaway, who quickly gets into the ring and goes for a cover on Obscene, despite having not put in any offense on his opponent,

Kick out!
Easily kicking out, Obscene refuses to let Callaway put him down, but despite this, Callaway lifts Obscene back up to his feet before hitting him with an inverted atomic drop. Following this, Callaway hit’s a spinal tap (Snapmare to a spine kick)! Following this kick, Stephen Callaway leaves Obscene seated before bouncing off the ropes and as soon as he gets a few feet from Obscene, he rockets off a Busaiku knee kick, planting his foot in Obscene’s face! Instantly following this, Callaway covers,

Ike Rose: Obscene has been eliminated!
Keith Oswalt: Callaway, Nash, and Valor are starting to even the odds after eliminating Obscene, it’s starting to look good for their team.
Eric Witz: Yeah… I’m still backing the team that has Dru Tha Merc and Johnny Noble. I don’t think they can beat, they’re just too good.
Following his pinfall over Obscene, Callaway’s eyes dart across the ring and he spots Pitbull rushing into the ring. As Callaway is getting up, Pitbull goes to nail him with a spear similar to the one he hit on Josh Eagles, however just before Pitbull can hit this move, Callaway rolls backwards and locks Pitbull into a single leg crab, using all of Pitbull’s own momentum to take him down and lock him in this hold! Wrenching back, Callaway refuses to release the hold as Pitbull bites down in absolute agony.
Reaching out for the ropes, Pitbull refuses to tap out, however as he lunges, Callaway is able to drag Pitbull back to the center of the ring before seating himself back further on Pitbull, now pressing his knees into Pitbull’s back as he lays his shin and foot across the back of Pitbull’s neck, torturing him in a position incredibly unnatural for the huge wrestler. His pride refuses to allow him to surrender however as he grinds his teeth feeling his back about to snap as the pressure is applied heavily to his back. After being held in this move for over a minute, Callaway finally releases the hold as Pitbull appears to have dropped unconscious from the move. Not trying to figure out if Pitbull is conscious or not, Callaway lifts Pitbull up to his knees before locking him into the Calsmission (Tazzmission)!
Squeezing Pitbull’s neck tightly to prevent his recovery, Callaway locks the hold in before finally wrapping his legs around Pitbull, further securing the hold. Now barking commands at the referee, Chris Owens asks Pitbull if he quits, but receives no response. Asking once more, and again receiving the same result, Chris Owens declares Pitbull knocked out, and eliminated from the match!
Ike Rose: Pitbull has been eliminated!
Grinning as he gets back to his feet again, Stephen Callaway, having eliminated two of his opponents and evening his teams odds, looks at his remaining three opponents and motions for them to “bring it on”, but as he does this Dru Tha Merc steps over the top rope and gets into the ring. Wanting nothing to do with the behemoth that is Dru Dallins, Callaway darts to his teammates and instantly tags in Eric Valor, who looks at Callaway as though he had shot his brother.
Callaway instantly gets out of the ring and drops onto the apron as Eric Valor steps in between the ropes, but before he can even prepare himself to fight the monster, Dru Tha Merc meets him in the corner and nails an uppercut on him. After hitting this, Dru whips Eric across the ring and quickly sprints over to him and nails him with a big boot. After hitting the big boot however, Johnny Noble tags himself into the match for the first time.
Eric Witz: Looks like Noble wants to get in on the action now. Should be a nice treat for the fans.
Keith Oswalt: Treat? The fans hate Noble!
Eric Witz: Eh, their loss.
Beginning to light Valor up, Noble hit’s a ridiculous number of punches on him before whipping him off to the ropes and as Valor meets Noble in the middle, Noble clocks him with a roaring elbow. Dropping Valor to the mat, Noble now runs off to the ropes and smashes his elbow into Nash’s face, reigniting their hatred for one another! After doing this, Noble bounces back at Valor and hits him with a leg drop. Following the leg drop, Noble goes for a cover,

Nash breaks up the pin!
Lifting Noble up off of his feet, Nash smashes Noble in the face with a punch, then another, and then a third, taking Noble back to the ropes. Now whipping Noble off across the ring, Noble hit’s the ropes and as he bounces back Nash cracks him in the head with a polish hammer, dropping Noble to the mat. Popping back up almost as quickly as he hit the mat though, Johnny Noble shrugs the effects of the polish hammer off as he goes after Nash again, this time catching Nash with a big knee to the stomach. After this, Noble grabs Nash’s stomach before tossing him overhead with a gut wrench suplex. Again wasting no time after hitting this move, Noble gets back up to his feet and at this point he sees Eric Valor running at him. Leaping at Noble, Valor goes for a crossbody, however instead of this working Noble bats Valor down over top of Eddie Nash and in mid-air as they are falling puts Valor into the End of Show (Crippler Crossface)!
Rearing back, Eric Valor remains trapped in this move until he is finally forced to tap out, but due to his positioning, and possible lack of caring about Eddie Nash, Valor’s tapping slaps Nash in the face several times before Noble releases his hold!
Ike Rose: Eric Valor has been eliminated!
Keith Oswalt: And then it was down to Eddie Nash and Stephen Callaway. Epic match so far, and I’m sure the King of the Road and the man with all the angles can pull this one off.
Eric Witz: Seeing as how Dru, Johnny, and Phoenix all have been limiting their ring time, I really doubt Callaway and Nash can defeat that trio from hell.
Keith Oswalt: Stranger things have happened.
Letting go of his hold now, Noble gets back up to his feet, and before Nash can even get up, Noble begins to stomp away at his face, trying to disfigure him while he wears him down. After having hit the repeated stomps on Nash, Noble now turns around and as soon as he does, Stephen Callaway springboards across the ring, hitting Noble with a crossbody. Taking Noble down to the mat, Callaway allows Nash to get out of the ring as he covers Noble,

Kick out!
Noble pushes Callaway off of him, but Callaway is relentless. Refusing to back down from Noble, Callaway begins to repeatedly stomp him, but this forces Callaway to forget about Phoenix and Dru Tha Merc, which hurts him dearly as by the time he remembers them and looks up, Jason Phoenix rockets off a superkick and knocks Callaway down on the mat. Pushing Noble out of the ring, Phoenix grins as he lifts his rival up off of the mat and within a second flips Callaway out and drills him into the mat with the Crimson Tornado (Spinning Killswitch)! Instantly after hitting this move, Phoenix covers Callaway,

Ike Rose: Stephen Callaway has been eliminated!
Keith Oswalt: You know, I may be a hard-on Eddie Nash believer now, but I don’t think even he can survive these odds.
Eric Witz: Ha-ha, you said you have a hard on.
Keith Oswalt: Yes ladies and gentlemen, my broadcast announcer is eleven years old.
Eric Witz: I am not! I’m at least twelve! Eleven year olds don’t even know what a hard-on is!
Following Callaway’s elimination, Eddie Nash slides back into the ring and here he boots Jason Phoenix in the face knocking him back down to the mat. After doing this, Nash now looks at Dru Tha Merc on the outside of the ring and nails him with a big boot, knocking him off of the apron, crashing into the steel barricade. Finally, after turning around Eddie Nash’s rage is put into a dead stop as Johnny Noble blatantly hits him with a low blow, while the referee’s attention is turned to focus on Dru Tha Merc. Having taken advantage after hitting the low blow, Johnny Noble puts Nash’s head in between his legs before lifting him up and slamming him down into the mat with This Shit Hurts (Spinning Spike Piledriver)!
Now screaming at his partners, Jason Phoenix is the first to recover and he ascends to the top rope as Noble keeps Nash down and finally Jason Phoenix leaps off and nails Nash with a Phoenix Fire (Shooting Star Press)! Crashing a top of Nash with the move, Phoenix rolls out of the way as an infuriated Dru Tha Merc now gets into the ring, shoves Chris Owens out of his way and pulls Nash up to his feet and kicks him in the stomach. Pulling Nash up over his shoulders and getting him in position for crucifix powerbomb, Dru holds him here before finally slamming Nash down with the Code of the Streets (Crucifix Facebuster), slamming Nash face first into the mat. Now rolling him over onto his back, the team of three all cover Eddie Nash, ensuring that even if he could, he wouldn’t be able to push the weight off of him,

Ike Rose: Eddie Nash has been eliminated, and your surviving winners of the match, via pinfall, at 42 minutes and 57 seconds, Dru Tha Merc, Jason Phoenix, and Johnny Noble!
Getting up, the three winners have their hands raised as they stand in the middle of the ring, over top of Eddie Nash, proud of their victory.
