As Oblivion comes on the air, “Artist in the Ambulance” by Thrice blares over the PA system as a smiling, casually dressed, Jeremy Sterling walks out with a microphone in his hand. Grinning at the loud crowd, Jeremy Sterling reaches the ring before climbing into it and finally addressing the crowd.
Jeremy Sterling: I’m absolutely ecstatic that for the second week in a row, we have a capacity crowd here in the Cookeville Community Center!
Receiving a cheap pop for his words, Jeremy Sterling grins at the crowd before he quickly moves to the matter he had come out to explain.
Jeremy Sterling: But, that’s not what I’m here to address. Instead, I’ve come to address the Gauntlet match at Return of the Kingdom. As it’s been reported on the rumor mills and even addressed on PrideWrestling.com, the Gauntlet match at Return of the Kingdom will not be the standard one on one Gauntlet match.
After confirming the rumors, the crowd begins to murmur to each other, discussing what style of Gauntlet match could occur instead.
Jeremy Sterling: Instead of just having one man face one man until we get to the final two, there will be three men in the ring. When one man gets eliminated, another will take their place, and this process wil keep going until there is one man left. While it doesn’t sound too challenging, trust me when I say that having too worry about two other men in the ring and going through a Gauntlet match is no easy task. The order of who enters the match will be determined by who was able to achieve the shortest "Beat The Clock" time, and will go from there. The winner of this match will be worthy of being crowned the very first Valiant championship. And with that, let’s get this show on the road!
“Artist in the Ambulance” again begins to play over the PA system as Jeremy drops the microphone and rolls out the ring, slapping the fans hands as he heads towards the back having made his announcement on the Gauntlet match.

The house lights go down. They remain dark for five seconds while the electronic beginning of "Stronger" drone throughout the building. Then, as Kanye West's vocals begin, a spotlight shines down onto the entrance. Bathed in the sole shining light of the arena stands Nathan Neale, with his Panasonic in hand. He begins to walk down to the ring, taking his time to take in all the hate the fans are sending his way. He brings the Panasonic up to his face and looks through it, as the shot switches to what Neale sees. He zooms in on a few especially vocal fans, before stepping up to the ring apron. He climbs the nearest turnbuckle before zooming out and pointing the camera at himself, at which time a custom chyron that reads "NATHAN NEALE - _____", before jumping into the ring. He places the camera below the turnbuckles he just jumped from, and gets ready to fight as the shot switches back to the ringside cameras.
Ike Rose: The following contest is a singles match-up, scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 210 pounds, and hailing from San Jose, California…Nathan Neale!
Keith Oswalt: Welcome to another exciting edition of Oblivion ladies and gentlemen! Once again, I’m Keith Oswalt, and this is commentating partner Eric Witz. Tonight we begin our final stop before Kingdom of Pride’s “Return of the Kingdom” Super Show, and it appears like Mr. Neale will once again be heading us up for the night!
Eric Witz: I wasn’t impressed with this wannabe Justin Bieber last week, and it’s doubtful I’ll be impressed with him this week.
The lights go black, and "Princes of the Universe" by Queen plays. A single white light shines on the entrance and out comes Dustin Douglas. He stands there for a moment, and looks as if he is praying to himself. He then beats his chest and walks methodically to the ring. He climbs in the ring, and climbs to the second turnbuckle. He raises one arm in the air, jumps down, and stares down Neale.
Ike Rose: And his opponent, weighing in at 266 pounds, and hailing from Nashville, Tennessee…Dustin Douglas!
Eric Witz: Dustin’s gonna need a little “somethin’ something” if he wants to walk out the victor here against Neale. He didn’t exactly impress last week.
Keith Oswalt: Admittedly, Dustin did have some problems last week against the rookie Steven Watson Carter, who acquired the fastest “Beat The Clock” time against Douglas, and secured one of the top spots in the Valiant Championship match. But, with Dustin facing a much smaller opponent this week, it’s unlike we’ll see Dustin become over-powered this week.
The bell rings, and Ike Rose exits the ring. Both Neale and Douglas waste little time in attempting to lock up. However, as they do, Neale steps back, and Douglas nearly trips. The distraction then causes Neale to go on the offensive, and he begins to hammer on Douglas until he’s in the corner of the ring. Neale pummels him down, before stepping back, yelling “Who’s your God Daddy now?” Neale lifts Douglas, and goes to slam his head on another turnbuckle, but Douglas stops him, and hits him with a stern elbow to the face. Douglas then Irish Whips Neale, who counters the move. Neale charges Douglas in the corner, but the big man dodges, and runs against the ropes, rebounding, before hitting Neale with a huge flying forearm smash!
Keith Oswalt: Dustin Douglas appears to be moving away from the powerhouse antics early on in this match that lost him last week’s match against SWC. I doubt Neale has ever seen Douglas move that fast!
Eric Witz: The only fast thing Neale sees are his ratings plummet quickly.
Keith Oswalt: Can’t you just let your dislike of Neale go and just call the match!
Douglas lifts up Neale, and hits him with a hard set of knees, nearly flooring Neale, before dropping him with a belly-to-belly suplex. Douglas goes for the cover, but he doesn’t even get the one count. Afterwards, Douglas lifts up, before Irish Whipping him into a corner. Douglas charges Neale again, but is met with boot of Neale’s boots this time! Taking advantage of Douglas kneeling over in pain, Neale hits a huge running DDT on him! Neale pats himself on the back, before going for a cover…
1…
2…
Kickout by Douglas!
Neale lifts up Douglas, and tries to Irish Whip him, but Douglas holds on, and brings Neale back to him, dropping him with a Double D Spinebuster (Arn Anderson Variation). Neale rolls out of the ring, holding his lower back, as Douglas follows him. Taking advantage of the moment, Douglas charges Neale, and slams him into the steel barricade! One fan throws some popcorn on Neale, and Dustin grabs some from the bag, eating it, before throwing Neale back into the ring.
Eric Witz: Did Dustin Douglas really just take a snack break during the middle of this match? Puh-lease!
Keith Oswalt: Well, he has exerted a lot of effort by wearing down Neale’s lower back, especially after slamming him into the guard rail. That back has become quite vulnerable.
Neale tries to crawl away, but Douglas grabs his foot…but Neale manages to kick him away, into the turnbuckle corner. Douglas tries to regain his stance, but Neale hits him with a hard running knee, before throwing him through the middle ropes to the outside! Neale then wastes no time in getting out of the ring, and stomping down Douglas. He then lifts up the “Sword of the Lord,” before ramming his back into the steel post! Neale throws Douglas back into the ring, and begins to drive some hard knees into his back. After lifting Douglas, and slamming him into the corner, Neale runs into the opposite corner, before charging Douglas and hitting him with the “Nathan Neale Is 25... And Winning” (Jumping clothesline). As Douglas struggles to get up, Neale hops up on the top turnbuckle, and hits Douglas with a Mushroom Stomp! Neale goes for a quick pin…
1…
2…
Kickout by Douglas!
Eric Witz: Hey, maybe Mr. Situation actually can win this. Dustin looks like he’s not able to get a steady offense here.
Keith Oswalt: Your reality TV mentions are…interesting. Anyway, Nathan Neale is dominating Dustin Douglas here, and you have to wonder how much Douglas has left in him.
Neale locks in a triangle hold, and Douglas struggles out of it. The crowd begins to get behind him, as Neale shakes his head in disgust. Douglas, after a few moments, is pull himself up, and hits a few weak elbows in Neale’s stomach. They begin to gain some strength to them, and Douglas Irish Whips Neale, before hitting him with a huge lariat! Just as Neale gets up, he’s nailed with a few more strikes, before getting being dropped with a vertical suplex! Douglas does a prayer, and then points towards the sky, as the crowd cheers him heavily. Douglas runs off the ropes, hoping for the “Dusty Rub” (POUNCE), but Neale evades it, and goes for the Neale Cipher (Bushaiku Knee Kick). Douglas ducks, and grabs Neale, rolling him up…
1…
2…
3-Kickout by Neale!
Keith Oswalt: So close!
Eric Witz: Or not close enough, depending on your viewpoint.
Both men get up, and Douglas runs against the ropes, going for another “Dusty Rub,” but Neale kicks him rather low in the stomach. Douglas stumbles around, before being hit with the “Neale Cipher!” Neale makes the pinfall…
1…
2…
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 6 minutes and 47 seconds… Nathan Neale!
Keith Oswalt: A tough loss here for Dustin Douglas, who just can't seem to get his footing here in Pride.
Eric Witz: Maybe he should pray more?
As Neale stands up, “Bitches: plays through the arena to a large amount of boos. Christian Kane, accompanied by his lovely women Dani and Jennifer, walks through the curtains, looking as cocky as ever.
Eric Witz: Looks like this show gets to start off with a sweet hunk of Christian Kane…part of every balance and delicious diet.
Keith Oswalt: That’s…not creepy at all. I can only imagine Christian Kane coming out here to mock Dustin Douglas, who didn’t seem to be too appreciative of CK’s “wise” words of wisdom last week.
As CK walks towards the ring, Neale exits. The two men lock eyes, before breaking off. CK rolls into the ring, as Douglas is just getting up. CK grabs a microphone, and looks at Douglas.
Christian Kane: Damn, looks like blackie isn’t doing too well this week. Yeah, I said it. Another loss, and this time to someone who fondles himself every night because he wants to be like me, Christian Kane, the man who’s going to the first, and sexiest, Valiant Champion!
Dani and Jennifer both wrap their arms around CK, who poses for pictures, as Douglas looks infuriated, grabbing a microphone.
Christian Kane: Oh yeah. Check it, and then su-
Dustin Douglas: That is enough!
Douglas’ powerful voice startles both women.
Dustin Douglas: I will not allow myself to be patronized by a diseased ridden filth! You will clear my sight at once, or I will, as God as my witness, strike you down, right here, right now.
Christian Kane: First off…it ain’t a disease if It makes you scream for joy, so let’s get that straightened out. Second, you’ll now refer to me as Mr. Valiant Champion, something you’ll never be. Let’s face it…you’re a washed up old man…but you don’t have to be. I’m gonna give you a chance. If you, right here, kneel down to me, maybe I’ll let you enjoy the company of one of my endless sloppy seconds. They’re everywhere. Throw a paper airplane and it’s likely to hit somewhere and something I’ve nailed. So…what’d you think?
Douglas pauses, apparently thinking…before going down on one knee!
Keith Oswalt: What?!?
Eric Witz: Hey, for a chance to b e with Jennifer or Dani, I’m sure there isn’t a lot a warm blooded male wouldn’t do!
Douglas goes down on one knee…but then charges forward! Suddenly, CK pulls both women in front of him, and Douglas pauses, not wanting to ram into either woman! They both scream in fear, as CK hides behind them. Douglas tries to get around, but suddenly, CK pushes them both aside, and kicks Douglas in the stomach. He nails in some furious fists on him, before backing up, and nailing him with the SuperSexyKick! Douglas goes down, as CK looks infuriated. He spits on Douglas, before picking up his microphone. He stands on top of Douglas, and goes down, his crotch right in Douglas’ face.
Christian Kane: Told you….would have been wise to take my advice.
CK grabs the microphone, and sticks it in Douglas’ mouth, causing him to choke for a moment, before rolling away in pain.CK looks rather proud of himself, smirking as he makes the title gesture, and yells for his women to rejoin him.
Keith Oswalt: More self promotion from Christian Kane. After knocking out a tired Dustin Douglas, all he can do is gloat about his upcoming title match. It’s sickening, I tell you!
Eric Witz: Yet the women all eat it up. Dustin should have rolled with the future Valiant Champion. We’ll be right back everyone!
The screen fades to commercial as CK celebrates in the ring.

The segment opens to show John Parker standing outside the locker room for Pride's staff. He has his eyes shut and is facing away from the doorway. Inside lots of panting is going on. But is pierced by a lone Scottish voice.
Random scot: Finished!
Chris: ARGH! I just hit the ceiling.
Random scot: Still second.
Chris: For fucks sake sahn. There were seconds in it!
John opens his eyes with relief on his face.
John Parker: Looks like I can go in now...
His hand hovers over the doorhandle but he is stopped.
Random scot: Bob, you're still going?
Bob: I have to finish the race!
John Parker: FFS!
John retracts his hand and folds his arms. Fucking Bob, why can't he just finish?
Fade out.

The camera switches to backstage…where Adam Abel is laying on the ground, through a busted table! He's not moving at all, and looks quite hurt. It appears that this has just happened, as Jeremy Sterling approaches, looking quite startled.
Jeremy Sterling: Oh my God…someone get a medic!
Sterling begins to check on Abel, who is completely unresponsive. The EMTs come up with their medical supplies, and they begin to check on Abel.
Keith Oswalt: Good Lord, that’s Adam Abel! What’s happened to him!?!
Eric Witz: He’s been put through a table, clearly. Can’t you see it?
The EMTs put Abel on a stretcher, as Sterling begins to vent.
Jeremy Sterling: Someone did this to Mr. Abel, and I want them found! Now!
The scene fades to blackness as Sterling walks away.

The lights slowly dim as Nothing To Lose begins to play through the speakers. Purple lights kick in just as Styles P begins his first verse. Funky shoots out from the back area, energetic as always. He quickly paces down the aisle in a zig zag motion, high-fiving the ringside fans in attendance. He makes a round around the ring before sliding in. He enthusiastically hops on one of the turnbuckles and raises his right arm, and does the same thing on the other three turnbuckles. He then hops down and begins to prepare for his match.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Beat The Clock challenge match, introducing first, from Indianapolis, Indiana, weighing in at 160 pounds...Funky!
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 his opponent, from Monterrey, Mexico, weighing in at 190 pounds...Obscene!
Before the bell rings, Funky sprints towards Obscene and tackles him into the ground, going with a quick tackle and punching Obscene in the face furiously. After having been taken off guard by the tackle, Obscene regains his senses and is able to block a few of Funky’s punches and rolls over on the ground and mounting himself atop of Funky and using a similar strategy and pounding his own fists into Funky’s face. After a flurry of these punches, Funky is able to block some of the punches and pushes Obscene off of him as both men get up to their feet. Here Obscene rushes towards Funky, but Funky is able to counter Obscene, hitting him with a quick arm drag. Both hoping back up to their feet, Funky quickly leaps up off of his feet and is able to hit a big dropkick on a charging Obscene, having his foot land right on Obscene’s jaw dropping him to the mat almost instantly.
Despite the picture perfect dropkick, Obscene is able to get back to his feet and deliver a dropkick of his own to a charging Funky. Following this, Obscene quickly goes for a cover, showing his experience, but despite the quick cover, Funky kicks out before even one. Despite the almost immediate kick out, Obscene stays on his attack, getting up to his feet while holding Funky in a basic side headlock. Once up to his feet, Obscene takes Funky back down to his the mat by switching his position and hitting a quick snap suplex on Funky. Rotating his hips immediately after hitting the mat, Obscene is able to keep the lock in place as he gets back up to his feet, bringing Funky along with him. However, instead of hitting another snap suplex, Obscene whips Funky to the ropes with an Irish whip.
As Funky hit’s the ropes, he shows off his incredible agility by hoping up to the top rope and backflipping off of it and hitting a springboard diving reverse DDT on Obscene. After hitting the incredible maneuver, Funky covers Obscene...
1...
Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: Very impressive move by Funky there, but not nearly enough to keep Obscene down for more than a one count.
Eric Witz: Maybe he should stop trying to be impressive and just take Obscene to the ground and beat him to death. Because that flashy stuff, while it’ll get you popular, isn’t going to win you a match quickly.
Keith Oswalt: Time is definitely of the essence in this contest, speaking of which, we’re about three minutes into this contest already.
Despite the quick kick out, Funky stays on top of Obscene by getting up to his feet and hitting a few stomps before lifting him up and going for a kick on him. However, Obscene catches Funky’s foot and holds it there. With his foot held, Funky attempts to hit an enziguri on Obscene, but Obscene ducks this, seeing it coming. However, Funky quickly goes back with an off balance kick, hitting Obscene with the enziguri from the other side!
Dropping to a knee, Funky now sprints to the ropes as Obscene is bent over in a kneeling position. As he gets off of the mat, he remains doubled over as Funky reaches back and is able to hit him with a big scissors kick. Falling to the mat after this, Funky quickly covers Obscene,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Obscene continues to show his determination to not lose by kick out after two despite the big kick he had taken. Pulled back up to his feet, Obscene begins to fight back against Funky, throwing punches at him before hitting him with a cross armed judo chop, aimed for his throat. Taking Funky off guard with the chops, Obscene uses the opening to hit an enziguri on Funky to take him down to his knee, however after hitting this, Obscene quickly gets back to his feet before throwing Funky over his head with a northern lights suplex into a bridge,
1...
2.…
Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: Clocking in at a little under five minutes, Obscene nearly picks up the victory with that impressive northern lights suplex.
Eric Witz: Obscene hasn’t done nearly enough damage to Funky to get a win just yet, he’ll need to continue to focus on that body part if he wants to set up for the Obscene Driver.
Despite the kick out, Obscene remains on top of Funky, now mounting himself on top of him before pounding into him with a ton of fury punches. After being given a five count to stop the punches, Obscene lets up on his punches at four before deciding to choke Funky, wrapping his hands around Funky’s throat and slowly choking the life out of him. Before being disqualified, Obscene again releases his hands and goes for a quick cover on Funky...
1...
2...
Kick out!
Slamming his hands on the mat with frustration, Obscene gets up off of Funky and begins to back away from him while Funky sits up off of the mat. As Funky gets to his feet, Obscene bounces off of the ropes and sprints towards Funky, having a shining wizard in mind. However, as Obscene reaches Funky, Funky catches Obscene’s foot and rolls through, locking him into a heel hook, holding it trying to force Obscene to tap out.
Having his ankle wrenched, Obscene slowly crawls towards the ropes, before finally lunging towards them and grabbing the bottom rope, forcing Funky to break the hold. Funky reluctantly releases Obscene’s ankle, however does not give a clean break as he quickly pounces back on top of Obscene’s back, pulling him up by his hair. After having pulled Obscene up to his feet, Funky whips Obscene to the ropes and as Obscene sprints back towards Funky, Funky leaps up into the air and hit’s a picture perfect hurricanrana on Obscene, flipping Obscene onto his back. Despite being slammed onto his back Obscene and Funky get up nearly at the same time and Obscene quickly runs towards Funky, but at the last possible second, Funky leaps up and is able to hit Obscene with a Flash Funk (Codebreaker)! Following the move, Funky instantly covers Obscene,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Furious that Obscene was able to kick out of the move, Funky gets up off of the mat and stomps Obscene before heading to the top rope. Once here, Funky leaps off of the ropes and performs an amazing shooting star press, coming crashing down onto Obscene. But, just at the last second, Obscene was able to get his knees up, letting Funky’s torso drive right down over the point of his knees!
Eric Witz: Hot damn! That’s why it’s called high risk, high reward. Funky just took a major risk, and unfortunately for him, it didn’t pay off.
Keith Oswalt: This is a major chance for Obscene to capitalize as we cross over into the eight minute mark.
Eric Witz: Definitely a good chance for the whack job, but you’ve got to wonder how his knees are holding up after taking that intense blow.
Gasping for breath as he falls back to the mat, Obscene gets up off of the mat, holding his knees, but lifting Funky up along with him. After getting to his feet, Obscene kicks Funky in the stomach before butter flying his arms and hitting him with his signature move, The Violator (Angel’s Wings)! After driving Funky’s face into the mat with The Violator, Obscene quickly flips Funky over and covers him,
1...
2...
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 8 minutes and 26 seconds, Obscene!
Keith Oswalt: Huge win for Obscene here! He heads towards the main event Return of the Kingdom show where he will look to regain his Valiant championship! Not only that, but he's secured one of the fastest times, and will be one of the final competitors in the match!
Eric Witz: I’ll be honest, I’ll be pissed if he wins, and regains, the Valiant championship.
Following his win, Obscene begins to head towards the back, sneering at the fans as the scene fades to the backstage area.

Avice: Alex Avice, backstage here with the very impressive, very intimidating Storm!
As Avice finishes his introduction, Storm steps up beside him, dressed in his ring gear and ready for his upcoming match against Rage Rodriguez. Storm crosses his arms as he stands over Alex, looking eager to get this over with.
Alex Avice: Now Storm, I’m sure you want to focus on your match with Rage Rodriguez in just a few minutes, but I have to ask what’s been on the mind of everyone both in and watching Kingdom of Pride…what did Tommy Hargrove do to deserve that assault last week?
Storm seems surprised for the question and for a split second is confused as he mouths “Tommy Hargrove” to himself. Then, as a light clicks in his mind he smiles and responds.
Storm: Oh, Tubby? It was nothing personal – if it was he wouldn’t be able to compete tonight, trust me. The kid was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and was available for me to make an example out of and take out some pent up frustration.
Alex Avice: Perhaps, but he seems to have taken your words to heart.
Storm: And?
Alex Avice: And nothing, I guess. So if he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, does that mean we shouldn’t expect you to get involved in his qualifying match tonight?
Storm: Not making any promises, but we’ll see. It sure would be a shame if he made it into the gauntlet for the Valiant title and was subsequently injured and needed someone to take his place…
Storm purposely and dramatically trails off as he offers the camera a feral grin before walking off, leaving a silent Alex Avice behind him.

The lights in the arena completely cut out as a hushed silence born of anticipation falls over the crowd and spotlights scan the entrance ramp. "I CAME TO PLAY!" rings out over the PA system as the crowd's silence is quickly replaced with the deafening roar of boos as the spotlights converge on the large figure of Storm, who has one arm reaching almost straight up and the other bent at a right angle. Daniel Stanton is also behind him. Storm then walks purposefully to the ring, ignoring the fans aside from perhaps an occasional insult to a front row audience-goer. Storm reaches the ring and climbs up the steps before stepping through the ring ropes and assuming his position in his corner, screaming insults at anyone close enough to hear them.
Ike Rose: The following match-up is scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 295 pounds, and hailing from Miami, Florida…he is accompanied by Daniel “Boneham” Stanton…Storm!
Keith Oswalt: Last week, Storm faced a tough draw, losing to in-ring rival Justin Kaard, eliminating him from the Valiant Title match at “Return of the Kingdom.” Since then, Storm seems to have increased his temper tenfold, particularly against one Tommy Hargrove.
Eric Witz: Storm’s not some dumb animal. If Hargrove gets in an “accident” that prevents him from fighting for the Valiant Title, who do you think is next in line to take his place? Maybe the man that witnesses the “accident?”
Keith Oswalt: Subtly isn’t your strong point my friend.
"Hypnotize” pours its catchy riffs upon an exploding entrance with Rodriguez breaking himself out from behind an exit door found in the audience. The camera reveals Rodriguez holding a microphone high into the air. As the enthusiastic crowd cheering buzzes its way across the audio blending in with his theme. Rodriguez is now found walking along the ring as the song comes to its closing, and he climbs upon the turnbuckle to receive a moment of silence.
Ike Rose: And his opponent, weighing in at 225 pounds, and hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina…Rage Rodriguez!
Keith Oswalt: Actually, this man here could be in the running for the next shot at the Valiant title. Last week, he received arguably the most difficult “Beat The Clock” competitor, facing Chris Hart. Rodriguez has shown a lot of potential here in Pride, but let’s see how he fares against Storm, who definitely takes the size advantage here.
Eric Witz: If size were everything, Hargrove would be our Champion right now. It’s about wrestling, nor some damn scale advantage.
The bell rings, and Ike Rose exits the ring. As both men quickly lock-up. Storm wastes little time in locking Rage in a headlock, swinging the smaller man around a bit. However, Rage hits a few small hits on Storm’s back, before pushing him away. Storm rebounds off the ropes, and comes back, hitting a huge clothesline on Rage. Instead of going for the pin, Storm angrily lifts up Rage by the hair, but Rage fires back with a few hits to his stomach, pushing Storm into the turnbuckle. He begins to exhibit his brawler style, hitting several hard blows on the body of Storm, as DBS yells at the referee to pull him away, which he does, as Storm checks his lip for blood.
Keith Oswalt: Rage Rodriguez just showed off that “hit you out of nowhere” style that can take him very far in this company. It’s hard to put Storm off his game, and even harder to put an angry Storm off his game.
Eric Witz: Hey, if Rage finds the eye of the storm, he’ll know how, and when to strike. Storm just has to let his guard down for one second….and BAM!
Rage comes back to Storm, hitting him with a hard shot to upper body. He then Irish Whips Storm, who slams hard against the turnbuckle…but as Rage charges him, Storm brings up his boot, slamming it into Rage’s face! Rage goes down, but Storm quickly lifts him up, before slamming his head viciously against a turnbuckle. Storm gets in a few of his own shots, before grabbing him by the throat, smiling maliciously, as if he’s mocking Rage. Storm then moves Rage against the ropes, and Irish Whips him. Age rebounds, and Storm goes for a clothesline, but Rage ducks, and rebounds with a running clothesline. The move doesn’t floor Storm, but merely sends him stumbling backwards. Storm bounces off the ropes, right into a DDT from Rage, who then begins to stomp down on Storm. He attempts to drop an elbow, but Storm moves, causing Rage to land painfully on his own arm.
Rage gets up, holding his elbow in pain, before Storm grabs him, and lifts him up, slamming him against the turnbuckle. He then immediately turns about, dropping Rage with a Gale Force (Sitout Spinebuster)! Storm goes the pin…
1…
2…
Kickout by Rage!
Keith Oswlt: And there’s this mercilessly, belligerent offense that makes Storm so dangerous. All he has to do is pound his opponents with a few spinebusters and slams, and then it’s impossible for them to get back up. Rage can’t combat Storm if he’s grounded.
Eric Witz: Well, he can…but that normally doesn’t work too well in MMA. C’mon Rage!
Storm lifts up Rage, who hits a few hard shots on Storm’s stomach, once again gaining a slight offensive advantage. DBS begins to yell angrily at Storm, whose face displays his pure anger at being hammered on. Rage finally gets to his feet, and pops Storm right in the jaw, causing him to stumble around. Sensing a weakness, Rage grabs Storm, and drops him with a bulldog! He makes his own pin…
1…
Kickout by Storm!
Rage lifts up Storm, and Irish Whips him, going for another clothesline…but Storm ducks it, rebounds, and slams down Rage with a huge clothesline of his own! Rage groggily gets back up, and Storm grabs him from behind, before dropping him with a “Cyclone” (Last Rites)! After stomping down on Rage, Storm lifts him up, and presses him shoulder into Rage’s stomach, slamming him into the corner. He delivers some hard shoulder thrusts to Rage, before grabbing him by the head, in a DDT position, lifting his feet on the ropes, and nailing him with an “Eye of the Storm” DDT! DBS happily applaud, and yells “Get it done, son!” as Storm pins Rage…
1…
2…
Kickout by Rage!
Eric Witz: I’d hate to be Rage in the morning. I’m sure he won’t be too pleased when he wakes up in a hospital bed. You know, from the broken spine.
Keith Oswalt: I’m sure he’s capable of it, no doubt.
Storm stands up, looking at the nearly broken Rage, before turning Rage onto his stomach, wrapping his arms around his waist, and lifting him up, before slamming him hard with a gruesome German suplex! Moments afterwards, Storm gets into the corner, and leans over in the “Thunderbolt” (Gore) stance. Rage is groggily able to get up, and Storm charges him…but Rage brings his knee up, slamming it into Storm’s face. Storm stumbles back, and Rage takes the opportunity to grab him, and attempt the Bodysnatcher (Unprettier)…but Storm pushes him away. Rage rebounds off the ropes, and is hit with the “Thunderbolt!” Storm makes the pin…
1…
2…
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 6 minutes and 3 seconds…Storm!
Keith Oswalt: Rage Rodriguez started off strong with an incredible set of punches and jabs, but Storm’s strength kept Rage off his balance, and enabled him to get the win.
Eric Witz: I’d be worried if I were Tommy Hargrove, or anyone in Pride for that matter. Storm is a dangerous man, and more than capable of injuring you at any moment.

The scene opens with Tommy Hargrove walking down a hallway backstage. As he walks he looks up and spots none other than 'The Canadian Sensation' Christian Kane.
"Wow, Christian Kane!"
Tommy Hargrove rushes up to CK who has Dani Clarke on his left arm and Jennifer Gonzalez on his right. Christian has a cocky smile on his face as Tommy approaches him.
"You are a lucky guy Christian, you always seem to have so many beautiful ladies around you; I wish I could be more like you."
CK coyly shrugs his shoulders while at the same time nodding in agreement.
"Uh...I was hoping to run into you eventually, I was curious if you could teach me how to be a ladies man like yourself?"
CK lets out a small chuckle.
"Listen kid, no one can be like me. I'm one of a kind. But hey, if you train real hard maybe you can have my sloppy seconds."
Tommy looks interested.
"I would take anything I can get, I'm a virgin."
CK looks perplexed.
"What!? How old are you?"
Tommy begins to realize what he just said and tries to backpeddle on his words.
"Well I’m 23, and I'm a virgin by choice, obviously."
CK chuckles.
"Yeah because nobody's chosen you, jackass! I lost my virginity when I was like 10, and by the time I was 23 I already nailed about a thousand bitches. Let me give you a little advice kid, get some money, go to a bar downtown, scout around for a hot chick, but her a few drinks, get her drunk, whisper a few sweet nothings in her ear and she's yours for the night, bro."
Tommy once again looks interested.
"Is that how you learned to be so comfortable around the ladies? I’m really interested, I ‘m just shy and really…"
CK interupts Tommy by holding his hand up. By now it seems as if CK is tired of the conversation.
"Listen, I've screwed alot of girls, but I never needed to get them drunk to do so, chicks worship the ground I walk. I only suggested for you to try it because you're such a lowlife... Come on girls, lets get out of here before some of his virginity rubs off on me, hahaha..."
Christian Kane and his ladies push past Tommy, chuckling to themselves about the revelation of Tommy being a virgin.

Bitches I hope you know
Bitches I hope you know "Bitches" plays through the speakers and the crowd boos as Christian Kane walks through the curtain with his ESW World Championship on one shoulder, his ESW Junior Heavyweight title on the other and Dani Clarke at his side. CK stops just a few inches from the curtain and looks around the arena as several small barely audible anti-CK chants start up. Dani slowly rubs Kane's abs before he pulls her head back by the hair and they exchange a sloppy french kiss.
After several seconds of this, he pushes her away and begins to walk down to the ring. The music keeps going and CK rushes down to the ring, moves around the side of it, then slides onto the hot apron. CK stands and raises both of his titles into the air, grinning. He puts the titles back onto his shoulders then
Dani climbs into the ring as CK ascends to the top of the closest turnbuckle. He looks around at the fans before spotting a pretty girl. He puts a hand to his lips and blows a mocking kiss as her boyfriend stands at the side, becoming enraged by the gesture. CK laughs and looks around some more before stopping at a rather chubby girl. He immediately waves a disgusted hand and jumps off the turnbuckle.
He and Dani meet up in the middle of the ring once more and give each other another french kiss. Christian hands Dani his titles before telling her to leave 'his' ring, smacking her ass on the way out. The fans keep booing as CK walks to the ropes and blows another patronizing kiss at them. The music dies down as Kane smiles arrogantly in the ring.Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit, introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 220 pounds, Christian Kane! The arena goes dark as Hero by Skillet blares from the sound system, smoke and pulsing lights fill the entrance ramp. Justin Kaard runs in, fists pumping into the air. Going from one side of the ramp to another Justin raises his fists in salute to the crowd. Walking half way down the ramp, Justin pumps his fists into the air again, this time crossing them at the wrist. Holding the pose he breaks away into a sprint and leaps from the floor to the ring apron. Passing between the ropes Justin runs up the far turnbuckle, pausing on the second rope with his arms outstretched, he pumps his fists into the air again crossing them at the wrist. Climbing to the top turnbuckle, Justin jumps onto the mat and sprints for the opposing turnbuckle. Justin runs to the top turnbuckle and slowly raises a single fist. Holding it up in salute to the fans, he plants his feet on the top turnbuckle and back flips onto the mat. Moving to the back of the ring, Justin crouches on top of the turnbuckle as he waits for his opponent.Ike Rose: And his opponent, from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 175 pounds, Justin Kaard! As the match starts off, Christian Kane rushes towards Justin Kaard, but instead of hitting Kaard with a lariat, Kaard ducks under Christian’s move and hits him with a dropkick of his own, right to Christian’s back. Being pushed into the ropes by the move, Kaard quickly hops to his feet and grabs a waist lock before doing an O’Connell roll through, holding Kane with him and using the momentum from the roll to hit a quick release German suplex on Christian Kane, letting gravity drive Christian down onto his neck itself. After hitting the move, Justin Kaard quickly gets over to where Christian Kane lays and covers him, but Christian Kane kicks out before even a one count, throwing Justin Kaard off to him as both men get back to their feet. From here, they both engage in a lock up, with Christian Kane getting the better of Kaard and twisting his arm into a wristlock. Showing his athleticism, Kaard does a front flip to break Christian’s grip on his wrist and now puts Christian Kane into a wristlock of his own after doing this, Kaard hit’s a quick arm drag on Christian Kane and both get back up to their feet, however as Christian Kane rushes towards Kaard, Kaard nails him with a blunt kick to the chest, knocking Christian down to his back from the force of the kick. After doing this, Justin Kaard quickly helps Christian back up to his feet, but as he’s lifting Christian Kane up, Kane strikes back with an uppercut to knock Kaard back which is quickly followed by a lariat. Keith Oswalt: Huge lariat by Christian Kane! Eric Witz: What you meant to say was huge lariat by the world’s sexiest man, Christian Kane. Keith Oswalt: What are you, gay? Eric Witz: Excuse me for respecting Christian Kane’s dashing good looks. After hitting the lariat, Christian Kane taunts the crowd for a second before moving over to Justin Kaard and stomping on his stomach a few times. After the stomps, Christian Kane quickly drops down and covers Kaard, 1... Kick out! After the quick kick out, Christian Kane delivers a few stiff elbows to Kaard’s face before lifting him back up to his feet and grabbing Kaard into a side headlock. While wrenching in the hold, Kaard begins to fight back by elbowing Christian in the side and finally pushing Christian Kane off of him to the ropes. As Christian Kane comes sprinting back towards Kaard, Kaard is able to jump up and hits Christian Kane with a leg lariat. As he hit’s the move, he falls back down on top of Christian Kane’s neck hitting him with a basic leg drop. After this move, Justin Kaard fires back up to his feet and delivers a few kicks to Christian Kane’s body before going to the apron and hopping up to the top rope, but before he can leap off and hit the senton he had planned, Christian Kane had leaped up to his feet and delivered a harsh kick to Justin Kaard’s head, forcing Kaard to crash down off of the top rope to the mat. However, instead of letting Kaard lift himself back up to his feet, Christian Kane quickly scoops Kaard back up and lifts him up into position for a suplex. However, instead of instantly dropping back with the suplex, Christian Kane holds Kaard up, allowing all the blood to rush to Justin’s head. After a few seconds of waiting, Christian finally drops back and slams Justin down onto the mat with a suplex. Eric Witz: Great strength shown by Christian Kane there! Keith Oswalt: He’s definitely having an impressive showing so far. Following this move, Christian Kane gets back up and grins at the fans before walking over to the ropes and pointing at a very good looking female fan in the audience. Leaning over the ropes Christian Kane points at her and begins to use his hands to signal out his number to her, but after he gets to the fourth number, Justin Kaard has gotten back up to his feet and hit’s a quick enziguri on Christian Kane, dazing him. After doing this, Justin Kaard backs up a little bit before charging at Christian Kane and attempting a lariat, however at the last possible second, Christian Kane ducks down and pulls the top rope with him, sending Kaard over the ropes. But, instead of crashing to the concrete Justin Kaard is able to regain himself and stands on the apron. While Christian Kane still has his head turned, Justin Kaard finally grabs him and lifts him up and over the rope, planting him on the apron. As they both now stand on the apron, they begin to fight it out, each delivering a number of punches. After several of these punches, Christian Kane finally throws a faux punch and instead comes around with his other elbow, taking Justin Kaard down off of the apron. However, before Christian Kane can celebrate his move, Justin Kaard pulls his feet out from underneath him, having Christian Kane’s face bounce off the side of the apron. As Christian Kane holds his face after bouncing off of the apron, Justin Kaard hops back up onto the apron and runs towards Christian Kane and just as Christian Kane turns around, Justin Kaard leaps off of the apron and lands on Christian Kane’s shoulders and goes for a hurricanrana on Christian Kane, however just as Kaard whips his body around to hit the move, however, Christian Kane uses his size advantage and disallows Kaard to hit the move, instead lifting up Kaard and forcefully powerbombing Kaard back first against the top of the steel barricade! Keith Oswalt: Good lord! He could have broken Kaard’s back in half with that! Eric Witz: So, not only is he the world’s sexiest man, he’s the world’s most dangerous man as well. Keith Oswalt: You definitely can’t say that, that is trademarked. Eric Witz: By a steroid using bum. I hardly care. Crumpling to the floor, Christian Kane quickly lifts Kaard back up off of the mat and rolls him into the ring before sliding in himself. Looking at the downed Kaard, Christian Kane shakes his head before heading up to the top rope, checking out a female fan in the audience, then leaping up off the top rope and nailing The Power of Five! Instantly covering Justin Kaard, CK doesn’t bother to hook the leg, 1... 2... 3! Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 6 minutes and 35 seconds, Christian… Before Ike Rose can finish his sentence, Christian Kane cuts him off and whispers something in his ear.Ike Rose: The winner of the match is, the sexiest future Valiant champion, Christian Kane! Smiling after having had his name announced as he had told Ike to announce it, Christian Kane heads to the back.Keith Oswalt: With every win Christian Kane just becomes more arrogant. It makes me sick. Eric Witz: Sick? I love it! He’s the perfect champion for Kingdom of Pride, could you imagine him on billboads? We’d make millions! |

Backstage, Justin Kaard is getting ice from his match-up against Christian Kane. He appears rather frustrated with himself as he pushes the medic away as they try and look at his neck.Justin Kaard: I’m fine, okay? Just give me the ice. I think I’d know if my neck were broken.  : Well, that would certainly have been more entertaining than that garbage you just wrestled. The camera shifts over to reveal Nathan Neale as the speaker. He clearly sees no sympathy for the bruised up Justin Kaard.Nathan Neale: I mean, what was that daytime soap opera quality crap? I’m injured, quite devastatingly by the way, and I could have beaten Christian Kane. Kaard stands up, and gets face to face with Neale.Justin Kaard: But you didn’t last when it mattered, did you? At least I was able win my match against Storm, a man I fondly remember beating you to a pulp every week. You can showboat all you want Neale, but the difference between us is that when the going gets tough, I soar. You…well, you just fall. Nathan Neale: You know…you’re starting to annoy me very quickly. I don’t like you, I don’t like how you wrestle as if you’re in your backyard, and I don’t like being around you. But…you’re right. You’ll be in the Valiant title match, so good luck. Break a leg Justin…no really, please break a leg. It’d make my night, and the night of everyone watching the Neale World, as we watch it over…and over…and over in slow-motion. Life works better that way, you know? Neale grins, before walking off-screen. The scene fades to black as Kaard scowls at the medic.

Tommy enters the arena to Eye of the Tiger by Survivor begins to play he is wearing a white cotton robe, the hood is hoisted on his head. His hands are taped as well as his feet, he moves forward a few feet, raises his arms as Hero begins to play. He does a 360 degree spin while holding his arm in the air. He brings his hands to his mouth, kisses them, places both arms across his chest to form an X, and than begins to make his way toward the ring. Following behind him several feet is his mentor Nick Hill.
Ike Rose: The following three way contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Beat The Clock challenge match! Introducing first, from Camden, New Jersey, weighing in at 265 pounds, “Bittersweet” Tommy Hargrove!
Green laser lights start to shoot around the arena. "Pure Morning" by Placebo starts to blast through the sound system. The crowd starts booing and chanting you suck and asshole. E.Nygma comes walking from the curtain with his arms out slowly spinning around once. Green sparks (fireworks) start to fall from the rafters as E.Nygma starts walking down the aisle. While walking down the ramp he takes time to threaten and scare fans. As he makes his way down the ramp he slides in the ring. As soon as he gets up green confetti drops down into the ring and E.Nygma runs against the ropes back and fourth one time waiting for his opponent.
Ike Rose: And his opponent, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 180 pounds, E.Nygma!
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 taunt
Ike Rose: And the final combatant in the match, from Sacramento, California, weighing in at 234 pounds, Stephen Callaway!
After the bell rings, Stephen Callaway charges after E.Nygma, hitting him with a quick lariat, knocking him to the mat. Turning his body after knocking E.Nygma down to the mat, Callaway takes a huge boot to his face from a charging Tommy Hargrove. Knocking Callaway down to the mat, Hargrove quickly locks Callaway into a chinlock, as Callaway gets up to his feet and fights him off, hitting a few chops and elbows before whipping Hargrove to the ropes. As Hargrove charges back towards Callaway, Callaway drops to the mat and Hargrove leaps over him, and instead into E.Nygma, where E.Nygma attempts to hit a lariat, but Hargrove ducks under the move and stands behind E.Nygma.
Locking in a quick waistlock, Hargrove holds E.Nygma steady as Callaway grins and quickly rockets off a Calsi Kick (Superkick) as Tommy Hargrove quickly hit’s a release Tommy Gunn (German suplex), throwing E.Nygma over the top rope onto the concrete floor below!
Keith Oswalt: Hot damn! This might as well be one on one at this point, I think E.Nygma might be dead, and we’re only half a minute into the match!
Eric Witz: If he’s not, he might as well be. There’s no way he’s getting up from that move!
After having successfully taken E.Nygma out of the match, Stephen Callaway and Tommy Hargrove turn to each other and engage in a collar and elbow tie up, Hargrove being able to take the advantage and putting Callaway into a hammerlock. Wrenching the hammerlock back, Hargrove quickly switches his position and now while holding Callaway’s wrist still behind his back and finally hits Callaway with a back drop suplex. Holding his wrist, Callaway holds his wrist as Hargrove quickly pounces on top of him and begins to repeatedly stomp Callaway before locking him into a grounded top wrist lock!
Trying to force Callaway to tap out, Hargrove pulls Callaway’s wrist back further as Callaway winces and tries to move himself towards the bottom rope. Crawling slowly, Callaway finally reaches the bottom rope and drapes his free arm over the rope, forcing Tommy Hargrove to break the hold. Releasing the hold, Tommy Hargrove listens to Nick Hill at ringside by staying on top of Callaway. Hargrove now begins to continuously stomp Stephen Callaway before lifting him up. Despite the beating he’s taken, Callaway fires up with an uppercut, knocking Hargrove back into the ropes.
After hitting this, Hargrove stumbles back towards Callaway, and Callaway hits him with a quick snapmare. Following the snapmare, Callaway harshly kicks Hargrove in the square of the back, hitting Hargrove with his Spinal Tap. Callaway follows up by lifting Hargrove again off of the mat and kneeing him in the stomach. After doing this, Callaway whips Hargrove to the ropes and runs opposite of him before rushing back towards him and finally when they collide nails Hargrove with a Snork (Spear)! After hitting this move, Callaway quickly goes for a cover,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Eric Witz: Nice move by Callaway at three minutes and twenty seconds in.
Keith Oswalt: Definitely making a major impact with that move. Is E.Nygma still out?
Eric Witz: Yeah, I think he’s dead. Incredibly fast paced action going on so far.
Frustrated that Hargrove was able to kick out of the move, Callaway slams the mat before pulling Hargrove up to his feet and finally delivering a hard chop to Hargrove, however all this serves to do is piss Hargrove off, but before he can do anything, Callaway quickly hits him with a quick ace crusher, driving Hargrove face first into the mat. After doing this, Callaway grins as he lifts Hargrove up off of the mat and knees him in the stomach before putting his head in between his legs and lift Hargrove up off of the mat in powerbomb position, but instead of being able to hit the Thanks Malcolm, Hargrove slides down Callaway’s back and hits him with a full nelson slam, throwing Callaway onto his back. After doing this, Hargrove notices E.Nygma slowly crawling back into the ring. Shaking his head, Hargrove lifts E.Nygma up to his feet. Whipping him to the corner, Hargrove charges after him and nails him with a corner lariat.
Turning his head, Callaway nails a Calsi Kick, but instead of hitting Hargrove as he had planned, he nearly decapitates E.Nygma, instantly dropping him to the mat. Taking advantage of the situation Tommy Hargrove grabs Callaway from behind and nails him with a Tommy Gunn (Delayed German Suplex)! Throwing Callaway to the mat, Hargrove grabs E.Nygma and covers his limp body,

3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 5 minutes and 52 seconds, “Bittersweet” Tommy Hargrove!
Keith Oswalt: We have a new fastest time!
Eric Witz: We absolutely do, Tommy made this match look simple!

Backstage, we find Kingdom of Pride Co-Owner Kurt Noble standing in his office looking over some paperwork. A poster for the upcoming Super Show is behind “The Noble One” as he scans over a piece of paper, a document, and talks aloud to himself.Kurt Noble: Aaand… Noble grabs a pen and writes a few remarks down on the page before setting it aside on top of some other documents.Kurt Noble: Done. He sighs and sits down in his chair, rubbing his temple while grinning with relief. Suddenly, a knock is heard on his door and Noble looks up.Kurt Noble: Come in! The door opens and a woman, possibly Kurt’s receptionist, looks in with a small smile.Receptionist: Mr. Noble, you have a phone call on line four. Kurt Noble: Thanks, Sheryl. She nods and shuts the door. Kurt grabs the phone on his desk and picks it up.Kurt Noble: Hello? Several moments pass in silence. At first, Kurt’s face is calm and he retains the smile as he nods his head, listening to the other end of the line. However, as the call progresses, Kurt’s smile lessens and his posture hardens up noticeably enough. When Kurt finally does speak, it comes out in near forced words.Kurt Noble: Yes, I understand. It’ll be good to see you again. A few more seconds of silence before Kurt puts the phone back on the receiver and sits, reflecting on what just happened. He sighs deeply before another knock is heard on the door and Kurt’s receptionist looks in, carrying a few documents in her hand.Receptionist: Mr. Noble, I have that petition you were wanting. She walks into the office and Kurt hardly acknowledges her until she approaches his desk, looking concerned.Receptionist: Mr. Noble? Kurt looks up, snapping out of his thoughts, and smiles at his receptionist.Kurt Noble: Hey, Sheryl. What’s up? Receptionist: Well, I, uh, I have that petition you wanted. Kurt Noble: Great, great, just set it down anywhere. The receptionist immediately notices the change in demeanor from her boss. She silently sets the pages on the desk where Noble had plainly indicated. She gives him a nod and starts to head out the door, before her inner curiosity and concern drives her to turn back to Noble.Receptionist: Is something wrong, Mr. Noble? Kurt looks at her, slowly lifting his head up.Kurt Noble: What? Receptionist: Are you okay? You seem rather distant, if you don’t mind my observation. Kurt Noble: I…I just got off the phone with my brother John. Her eyebrows lift in surprise.Receptionist: Really? I didn’t know you had a brother. Kurt exhales sharply and leans back in his chair, folding his hands behind his head.Kurt Noble: Yes, I do. And it turns out he’s on his way here, coming down from Ontario. The scene instantly cuts to black...Johnny Noble

Steven Watson Carter walks out onto the entrance stage wearing a gold and black robe. He takes a few steps towards the ring, before relinquishing the robe and holding his arms outstretched. He flexes his right arm, while pointing to the crowd with his left. He continues to walk down to the ring, flexing and laughing, before entering the ring and taunting the crowd one last time.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit, introducing first, from Manchester, England by way of Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 265 pounds...Steven Watson Carter!
“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, weighing in at 195 pounds...Josh Eagles!
Keith Oswalt: Big match between these two that will both be in the Gauntlet match for the Valiant championship, a whoever wins here could be an early indication of what’s going to occur at Return of the Kingdom in the Gauntlet match.
Eric Witz: Or, it could show that one of these two men are intelligent and would rather conserve their energy as they head towards the big gauntlet match.
Keith Oswalt: Have you forgotten? This is Kingdom of Pride, the wrestlers always give it their all because as they know a win makes for a better pay day.
As the bell rings for the match to begin, Josh Eagles and Steven Watson Carter get into a basic collar and elbow tie up, here Carter is able to exert his size advantage over Eagles by pushing him forward into the turnbuckles. Once here, Carter delivers a stiff chop to Eagles before backing away from him and running towards him to hit him with a hard lariat, slamming Eagles against the turnbuckle. After hitting the lariat, Carter brings his arm down and locks Eagles into a side headlock and runs forward and hits him with a bulldog. After hitting this, Carter flips Eagles over and punches him in the face before lifting Eagles’s head up off of the mat and continuously slamming it against the mat. After these, Carter quickly covers Eagles, but Eagles is able to solidly kick out quickly after one.
Following the kick out, Carter strikes Eagles with his elbow before getting back up to his face, kicking Eagles once the two of them are on their feet. After the kick, Carter knees Eagles in the face after pulling his face in before going for an arm drag, but Eagles blocks this with his arm and pushes Carter away from him. As Carter hit’s the ropes and rushes back towards Eagles, he goes for his Lariat to End All Lariats, but Eagles ducks under the lariat and charges behind Carter dropkicking him over the ropes as Carter hit’s the ropes. As Carter falls to the floor, Eagles gets back up to his feet, grinning as the crowd begins to get up to their feet as Eagles runs to the opposite ropes before reaching the ropes and doing a front flip over the top rope and crashing down onto Carter, slamming him back first against the barricade!
Eric Witz: What a move! Eagles went for it all and this time, it paid off big for him!
Keith Oswalt: Not exactly renowned for his speed, Josh just showed another side of his ever-expanding move arsenal.
Getting up off of the concrete floor, Eagles grins to the crowd as he raises his arm and slaps a few of the fans in the first and second rows hands. After being pumped up by his fans, Josh Eagles goes back to Carter and lifts him up off of his feet and kicks Carter before whipping him to the barricade, having Carter crash back first into the steel barricade. Charging after Carter, Eagles nails a knee to the face of Carter, grinning as he gets down to his feet and slaps the fans hands some more before turning around and as he does this, Carter rushes towards him and nearly annihilates Josh with a huge boot to the face! After eating Carter’s boot, Eagles falls to the ground as Carter lifts him up and tosses him into the ring, his neck draped across the apron. Grinning as the crowd boos, Carter sprints towards Eagles and nails a big boot to the side of his head, knocking Eagles back into the ring.
After hitting the big boot, Carter rolls back into the ring and covers Josh Eagles, holding his shoulders down to the mat,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Eagles gets his shoulder up just after the ref hits two, showing he still has enough energy left in him to fight. Despite the kick out, Carter stays on top of Eagles and grabs Eagles throat and squeezes, blatantly choking him. Starting a count, the referee pleads for Carter to release the hold, and Carter obliges at three before getting up to his feet and bringing Eagles along with him. However, before Carter can do anything, Eagles fires up with a huge European uppercut, pushing Carter away from him. Hitting a huge kick to Carter’s chest, Eagles now whips him away from him and runs to the opposite ropes. Once the two collide in the center of the ring, Eagles jumps up into the air and delivers a huge leaping leg lariat to Carter, taking him down to the mat. Going for a quick cover, Eagles lays across Carter’s chest...
1...
2...
Kick out!
Smashing Carter’s face in after the kick out, Eagles gets up to his feet and pulls Carter along with him. From here, Eagles knees Carter in the face before grabbing the back of his head and taking him to the corner, smashing his head into the turnbuckle. After doing this, Eagles throws Carter into the turnbuckle and delivers a stiff knife-edge chop. After hitting this, Eagles quickly hit’s a jaw breaker on Carter, again knocking him into the turnbuckles. Leaning against the turnbuckle corner, Carter remains here as Eagles gets up and Irish whips him to the ropes. As Carter sprints back, Eagles hits him with a drop toe hold, draping Carter across the second rope.
Keith Oswalt: Draped across the ropes is never a place you want to be.
Eric Witz: I thought that as exactly he place you want to be in a pin.
Keith Oswalt: You know what I meant.
Eric Witz: Or, maybe you should know what you’re talking about.
After draping Carter over the rope, Eagles sprints to the ropes and quickly rebounds back, sprinting towards Carter before leaping up in the air and nailing a double stomp to Carter’s back. Falling out of the ropes, Eagles drags Carter towards the center of the ring before dropping down and covering him...
1...
2...
Kick out!
Slamming his hands to the mat in frustration, Eagles again gets up off of his feet and pulls Carter along with him, but as he does this, Carter fires up and hit’s a bare knuckle punch to Eagles’s face, knocking him back away. After being backed up, Eagles charges at Carter, but Carter quickly spins around and uses Eagles own charging speed against him by nailing him with a roaring elbow!
Dropped to the mat following the explosive knee, Carter quickly sprawls down on top of Eagles putting him in a front chancery before striking Eagles in the back of the head several times with sprawled knee strikes. After repeated knee strikes to the point of the head, Carter finally keeps the chancery locked in while getting up to his feet and holding Eagles in position for a DDT. While there, Carter finally swings back and nails an evenflow DDT on Eagles, driving him face first into the mat. After hitting the vicious DDT, Carter flips Eagles over for a cover, 1...
2...
Kick out!
Just barely getting his shoulder up before three, Carter argues with the ref screaming that it was a three count, despite getting nowhere with his pleas. As he argues with the referee, Eagles groggily rolls Carter into a cover,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: That is exactly why you should not argue with the referee, he very easily could have been pinned and lost the match there.
Eric Witz: Yeah, but he didn’t, so what’s it matter?
Keith Oswalt: He’s wasting his energy by having to kick out, being forced to kick out like that, especially when there is no reason to have been pinned.
Eric Witz: Yeah, I doubt energy is something SWC has to worry about. Why do those initials seem so familiar anyways?
Again just barely kicking out, Eagles seems to have planned for Carter to kick out as he bounces off of the ropes using the added force from Carter’s legs to his advantage by hitting the ropes harder and being propelled towards Carter, hitting a leaping senton on Carter. However, at the last second, Carter raises his legs to his chest, allowing Eagles to crash back first across his knees, forcing him to yelp out in pain from the move. Slamming the mat from having knees slam into his back, Carter gets up to his feet and here pulls Josh Eagles up as well.
At his feet, Carter delivers a strong knee to Eagles before whipping Eagles to the corner, however instead of slamming into the corner, Josh Eagles shows his agility by climbing up the corner and flips back and hits Carter with a whisper in the wind. After taking Carter down to the mat with the impressive move, Josh Eagles gets back up to his feet and stomps on Carter while picking him back up to his feet. After doing this, Josh Eagles goes a huge roundhouse kick on Carter, but Carter dodges the move by ducking under his leg and instead whipping Eagles to the ropes before running to the opposite ropes and charges towards a rebounding Eagles. Going for his Lariat to End All Lariats, Carter viciously swings his arm forward, but Josh, at the last second dodges under this and instead stands behind Carter and as soon as Carter turns around Josh Eagles nails him with an Impact Asylum (Inverted Stomp Facebreaker)! Instantly following the big move, Eagles covers Carter,

3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 10 minutes and 42 seconds, Josh Eagles!
Eric Witz: Huge counter into the Impact Asylum and just like that Eagles puts Carter down!
Keith Oswalt: We could very well be looking at our future Valiant champion right there.
Following his victory, Josh Eagles exit’s the ring smiling while gesturing a championship belt motion over his waist. After doing this and grinning, Josh Eagles finally heads to the back as the camera switches to a backstage area.

The camera switches to backstage, where Kurt Noble is sitting at his desk, valiantly doing his paperwork, something Pride isn’t used to seeing from the former competitor. After a few moments, a knock is heard on the door. Noble glances up at it.
Kurt Noble: Come in.
The door opens, and in walks Steven Watson Carter, only a few minutes after his encounter with Josh Eagles. He’s obviously tired, and quite a bit irritated. Noble puts away his pen.
Steven Watson Carter: You wanted to see me?
Kurt Noble: I did. I’d ask you to sit, but quite frankly, it’s best my chairs weren’t covered in sweat. No offense.
Steven Watson Carter:…Whatever. What’s you need me for?
Noble leans forward, his face straightening up.
Noble: That’s actually what I called you in here to talk about…why do I need you? I’ll be honest with you Mr. Carter…with today’s financial state, and the idea of what our roster size needs to be, this company is questioning if we need you. Hence, your limited contract.
SWC looks a bit offended at Noble’s rather serious statements.
Steven Watson Carter: Is this some kind of sick joke? Of course you need me! Just last week I won my entry into the Valiant Championship Match, with the fastest time I might add! And I just finished wrestling against Eagles!
Kurt Noble: With a rather sub-par effort, I might add. Look Mr. Carter…Pride is looking for stars, not men that will just roll with the tide. We’re already doing roster cuts, eliminating the dead weight. Your name is on that list Mr. Carter. I’m afraid your work ethic doesn’t impress me.
Steven Watson Carter: This is…this is ridiculous! You’re fortunate to have me!
Noble chuckles, before tapping a button on his phone.
Kurt Noble: Send him in.
SWC looks confused, but Noble begins to speak.
Kurt Noble: Oh, I’m about to be. Look Mr. Carter…here’s what Pride needs: tag teams. We need to show the rest of the companies out there that we’re capable of putting on the best tag matches possible…so that’s where you come.
Steven Watson Carter: I don’t think so. If I’m going to gamble with wins and losses, I’ll do so with my owns hands.
Kurt Noble: You’re right. You will…in the unemployment line. You and I both know things are tough out there. So, I’m giving you the chance to save your job. All you have to do is team with Mr…
The door opens, and in walks…John Parker.
John Parker: You called Captain?
SWC is…well, silent.
Steven Watson Carter: Hell no. HELL no.
Kurt Noble: Mr. Parker here is in need of reliable tag team partner. I’d suggest Mr. Hart, but he’s busy with other matters. So, from this moment on, the two of you are a team. Sound good?
John Parker’s eyes light up, as SWC looks quite like he’s about to explode.
Kurt Noble: Your duties begin at “Return of the Kingdom” Mr. Carter. See, Mr. Parker here will be facing one of“Los Sexys,” in a singles match, and you’re going to be in his corner. If you fail to do so…you’ll be removed from the Valiant title match, and fire on the spot. Sound good?
SWC grits his teeth, as Noble smiles.
Kurt Noble: Fabulous. Now…I must bid you two farewell. Good luck in your match Mr. Parker.
John Parker: Gee, thanks! C’mon new partner buddy!
John Parker drags SWC out of the office, as Noble smirks to himself while the camera switches back to the ring.

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.Ike Rose: The following contest in a tag match match-up scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 195 pounds, and hailing from Calgary, Alberta…Chris Hart! Keith Oswalt: It’s time for our Main Event, and it’s going to be an exciting one! This also marks our first tag team match since the revival, and there can be no better way to have it than with Chris Hart, a man that actually gained fame as a tag team competitor with our own Co-President Kurt Noble! Eric Witz: Yeah, but there were always rumors and whatnot that Hart was simply standing in Noble’s shadows the whole reign. Let’s see if he can prove himself different here. "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: And his tag team partner, weighing in at 130 pounds, and hailing from Nottingham, England…John Parker! Keith Oswalt: Certainly one of the more interesting faces here in Pride. Nonetheless, he proved himself to be a solid competitor last week in winning the Four Corner Survival Match-up. Eric Witz: I don’t see how Chris Hart puts up with this crack baby, and I surely don’t think Steven Watson Carter will be able to either. Keith Oswalt: Neither man has a choice! I'M
TOO SEXY FOR MY LOVE
TOO SEXY FOR MY LOVE LOVE'S GOING TO LEAVE ME [/center] The sounds of "I'm too Sexy" by Right Said Fred hits tha PA System as Rico Suave and Super Sexy come out from tha back, smoke coming up from the floor with red and yellow lights flashing everywhere. Suave and SS strut down to the ring, posing themselves to the fans, who give them no reaction, due to the fact that they both suck. Suave walks up the stairs as SS slides in the ring. Suave gets up on the nearest turnbuckle and throws his jacket into the crowd as he jumps in the ring. Both Suave and SS stand in the middle of the ring, waiting for the match to start as they both complement each other on how freakin' sexy they are.Ike Ross: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 400 pounds…Rico Suave and Super Sexy…The Los Sexys! Eric Witz: You know how you mentioned interesting faces? Yeah, these two are interesting alright. Like, stick them in a psychiatry ward interesting. Keith Oswalt: Oh, stop. They’re an interesting bunch, but as the first willing tag team here in Pride, they’re sure to make a splash. The bell rings, as John Parker and Chris Hart decide who’s going in first, as Super Sexy steps up for his team. Hart stays in, and he and Sexy begin to circle about, looking to lock-up. They do, and Hart takes a quick advantage, locking Sexy in a headlock, before flipping Sexy over to the ground. Hart keeps a side headlock on Sexy, who is able to force himself up. Sexy hits a few shots on the stomach of Hart, who is pushed off the ropes. Hart rebounds, and takes down Sexy with a clothesline. Hart runs against the perpendicular set of ropes, and Sexy quickly gets up. Sexy tries to take down Hart with an arm drag, but Hart counters, and fires back with his own lightening quick arm drag. Sexy gets back up, but falls victim to a flapjack from Hart. Rico runs into the ring, but is hit with a quick elbow to be sent down. Wasting little time, Hart walks over and tags in Parker, who is practically jumping on the apron yelling “LE’ ME AT EM!” Keith Oswalt: Chris Hart is starting off this match-up with an incredible offense of quick maneuvers. If John Parker can keep up the offensive stream, this match-up looks to be lopsided. Eric Witz: You give my sexy brothers a break, will ya? They’re getting there! Sexy is able to quickly make a jumping tag to Rico, who gets into the ring. Parker goes to lock-up, but Rico goes under him, twisting his arm in the process. Rico backs him up against the ropes, and the two men bounce off them. Rico then rebounds, hitting a shoulder tackle on the much smaller John Parker. Rico runs back against the ropes, but this time runs right into a clothesline from Parker. Sexy runs back into the ring, but it met with a fierce chop that takes him down. Parker grabs Rico, and tags Hart back in, who goes on a quick flurry of chops against Rico. Hart presses Rico up against the ropes, and Irish Whips him, but Rico counters, and then hits Hart with a twisting belly to belly suplex! Rico walks over, and tags in Sexy. Moment after, both men begin to stomp on Hart mercilessly. They then both stop, do a quick belly dance each, before dropping a pair of elbows on Hart. After Rico leaves the ring, Sexy continues to stomp down on Hart. Sexy then lifts Hart up, and floors him with a quick headbutt, before wiping imaginary sweat off his brow. Sexy shows off more for the crowd, but as he lifts up Hart, Hart takes advantage of the pause to grab Sexy, and hit him with an inverted atomic drop! Just as Hart gets up, Rico runs in and floors him, preventing even a possible tag. Parker then runs into the ring, and levels Rico with a Superkick! Parker is led back to the apron, as Hart lifts up Sexy, and drops him with an Aztec Suplex, before going for a pin… 1… 2… Kickout by Sexy! Keith Oswalt: Both teams are playing with an incredibly tag-team based mind-frame in this match-up. The team of Parker and Hart are making use of quicker tags, which the “Los Sexys” are covering one another to prevent even further tagging in this match-up. Eric Witz: It’s cheating, but it’s mildly entertaining. Hart then tags in Parker. Parker lifts up Sexy, and pushes him against the ropes, before Irish Whipping him, and hitting him with a huge forearm. Parker lifts up Sexy again, and tries to Irish Whip him again, but he’s kicked in the stomach by Sexy, who then hammers down on him, before pushing him into his own corner and tagging in Rico. Rico begins to drive some knees into the stomach of Parker, and begins to furiously assault him as Sexy distracts the referee. As Rico is then pulled away by the referee, Sexy gets outside the ring, and begins to choke Parker against the apron, causing Hart to run attempt to save him. However, the referee gets out of the ring, and orders Hart to get back to his own corner. Parker tries to fight back, but Rico grabs him, and hits him with a jawbreaker. Rico dances over Parker, who tries to swing up at him, but Rico dodges, before stomping Parker down again. He tags Sexy back in, and both men hit a double dropkick on Parker, sending him down. Sexy then lifts up Parker, who begins to swing back. Both men begin to trade shots, before Parker kicks Sexy, and Irish Whips him into a corner. Parker charges Sexy, who hits him with a kick to the face. Sexy charges Parker, but is met with a small package pin… 1… 2… Kickout by Sexy! Keith Oswalt: Extremely close on that one! Parker has taken a decent amount of offense from “Los Sexys,” while Chris Hart remains nearly untouched here in this match-up. The double teaming efforts are starting to have some noticeable effects on John Parker. Eric Witz: Chris Hart is a smart man for staying out of this match-up. He has a Valiant Title match-up next week…John Parker doesn’t. Do the math. As both men get up, Parker tries to grab Sexy, who trips him, and causes Parker to through the middle ropes, out of the ring. As Sexy argues with the referee, Rico gets out of the ring, and slams Parker into the steel guard rail! Hart is beginning to look thoroughly irritated with the double teaming efforts. Rico throws Parker back into the ring, before being tagged in by Sexy. Rico then flings himself over the ropes, landing on Parker. Rico then locks in a sleep on Parker, and Hart begins to get the crowd behind him. They do, and Parker tries to will himself up. However, just as he is, Sexy runs into the ring, and slams down Parker! Sexy quickly exits, and is tagged in by Rico. Rico gets in the ring, and lifts up Parker, before dropping him with the MexiPlex (Twisting Fishermans Suplex Pin). He pins… 1… 2… 3-Kickout by Parker! Rico gets up, and charges Hart, knocking him off the apron! Rico then lifts up Parker, and Irish hips him off the ropes. As he’s rebounding, Rico goes for a clothesline, but Parker ducks, and instead nails Rico with a spinning back fist! Parker then goes to the top rope, and kicks away Sexy as he tries to knock him off. Parker then jumps, and connects with a huge frog splash on Rico! Both men then crawl towards their corners…and both Sexy and Hart are tagged in! Keith Oswalt: Hart’s back in the match! Eric Witz: He’s gonna regret this…but not sure who “he” is yet… Both Sexy and Hart charge one another, and Hart knocks him down with a rolling Kesagiri Chop! Sexy tries to get back up, but he’s floored with yet another chop! As Rico gets up, he turns around, and is nailed with a huge inside elbow, followed by a flurry of them! Sexy blasts Hart from behind, and Irish Whips him…but Hart counters with a massive Saikyou High Kick! Rico runs at him, but Hart ducks, and drops him with a Gutwrench suplex! Sexy then hits Hart again, and tries to lift him up for a Suplex, but Hart slides over, landing on the turnbuckle, before jumping off with a leaping lariat! He pins Sexy… 1… 2… Rico breaks up the pin! Both men get up, and as Hart and Rico pummel one another, Sexy drops Hart with a dropkick! Parker gets in the ring, and hammers down on Sexy, before dropping him with a dropkick of his own! Rico charges Parker, but gets a drop toe hold for his efforts. Parker then climbs the ropes, and jumps off, connecting with an insane elbow drop! Meanwhile, Sexy kicks Hart in the stomach, and drops him with a suplex. Sexy then lifts up Hart, and tries to hit him with a Lungblower, but Hart grabs onto the ropes, causing Sexy to fall on his back in pain. As he does, Rico runs out of nowhere, and grabs Hart, trying to connect with a Codebreaker, but Parker tackles him out of the ring. Hart is confused as to what’s happened and as he turns around, Sexy charges him…but Sexy gets kicked in the stomach, and taken down with a Dundeon Driver (Falcon Arrow). Hart then climbs the top rope, and comes down with a Legacy Bomb (Spiral Tap)!! Hart pins… 1… 2… 3! Ike Rose: Here are your winners, with a time of 15 minutes and 54 seconds…Chris Hart and John Parker! Keith Oswalt: What an incredibly exciting way to end the first tag match since Pride’s reopening! Despite being rattled throughout the match, John Parker and Chris Hart fired back with a decisive victory over “Los Sexys.” Eric Witz: And in one piece. Damn. There’s goes any shot of anyone besides Hart winning the Valiant title… Parker gets back in the ring, and he and Hart embrace as the show goes to commercial.

Coming in from the final commercial break, Chris Hart is standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in his hand.
Chris Hart: Ladies and Gentleman, next week Kingdom of Pride presents their first super card in Return of the Kingdom. The Main Event will decide who will be the Valiant Champion, a match featuring Tommy Hargrove and Obscene who were victorious earlier this evening in their qualifying matches and Stephen Watson Carter, Justin Kaard and Christian Kane who qualified last week. That leaves two other men, myself and the man I would like to join me out here right now, Josh Eagles.
Chris waits for a moment before ‘King of the World’ begins to play. Having managed to slip out of his wrestling gear, his hair is still wet from the shower as he strides down to the ring to cheers from the crowd. Climbing the steps, he ducks in and walks past Chris grabbing a microphone from Ike Reed and coming back to the center and looking across at his friend.
Josh Eagles: So what’s this about?
Chris Hart: I think it’s pretty obvious Josh. You and I are both in the match for the Valiant Championship and widely considered the favourite. With that in mind though, there’s two of us, but only one belt.
Josh Eagles: Yeah, my belt.
Chris smiles at Josh, raising his chin slightly.
Chris Hart: If it helps you sleep at night, you can tell yourself that, I don’t have a problem with it. That said, after next Sunday I will take offence to it because I’m going to be the Kingdom of Pride Valiant champion.
Josh Eagles: Right because you’ve won how many world titles?
Chris Hart: The same amount as times you’ve beaten me, but that’s neither here nor there, this is Kingdom of Pride and the Valiant Championship. Now I didn’t call you out here simply to tell you that I’m going to walk out with the belt, I had a little proposition for you.
Josh Eagles: Shoot.
Chris Hart: I suggest that we roll like old times and show everyone in the Kingdom, how we do in Canada.
Josh nods his head slightly.
Josh Eagles: I like the way you think.
Chris Hart: It just wouldn’t feel worthy winning the title without beating you, and it’d only be sweater if you were the last one.
Josh Eagles: And same to you.
The two look at each other half smiles, half serious glares on their faces as Chris extends his hand towards Josh. Before Josh can take it though, they’re interrupted by Christian Kane standing near the entrance to the ring area from the back.
Christian Kane: Hold on a minute. If any Canadian is going to walk out of Return of the Kingdom with the Valiant Championship around their waist it’s going to be me.
Christian adds onto it by pointing his thumb at him.
Christian Kane: As far …
Christian Kane is interrupted however by Steven Watson Carter, standing amongst the crowd.
Steven Watson Carter: As I am concerned, the both of you made quite the mistake putting on this self aggrandizing display. You might have been something before, but neither of you are on the level of Steven Watson Carter.
Cutting from SWC, it goes to ringside and Obscene, looking up at Josh and Chris before turning around and looking at the British national.
Obscene: Get off your high horse you British numpty, You may have had the best qualifying time, but as far as I’m concerned, your advantage over me is negligible at best and is more than made up for by my superior talent.
Again it comes back to SWC, who tries to rebut.
Steven Watson Carter: Really, I don’t suppose that …
Christian Kane: Gentleman. Now we can continue to bicker amongst ourselves, our we can take matters into our own hands. Now as far as I’m concerned, come next Sunday it’s every man for himself, but if Josh and Chris figure they can team up to stack the odds in their favor, I don’t see why we couldn’t this evening.
Josh and Chris look at each other before looking out at the three men, Christian Kane and Steven Watson Carter making their way to ringside. Christian looks up at his fellow compatriots as he continues his gait.
Christian Kane: If my math is correct boys, it appears as if you’re out numbered, three against two.
Chris Hart: If you want to do this Christian shut your mouth and get into the ring.
Christian takes the challenge as now he and SWC have joined Obscene at ringside and climb up onto the apron. Josh turns and looks at Chris and as soon as Obscene tries to duck into the ring, both Chris and Josh charge at him, knocking him down to the floor below as Kane and Carter duck into the ring. Having dispatched momentarily of Obscene, Chris goes right after Carter as Josh Eagles takes on Christian Kane. Hart tries to take advantage with some shots to the body but Carter uses his size advantage. Eagles however manages to keep the upper hand on Kane, keeping him off balance with assorted shots. He loses his advantage however as Obescene comes in the ring and blind sides him with a clubbing blow to the back of the head.
Keith Oswalt: This is absolute pandemonium ladies and gentleman!
Eric Witz: This is the sort of passion we want to see in Kingdom of Pride.
The two of them begin beating Josh Eagles, eventually taking him down in the corner and repeatedly stomping him. In the meanwhile, Chris has managed to knock Carter away and immediately attacks Christian Kane from the back, catching him off guard. This gives Chris time to push Obscene off and save Josh Eagles, but only for a moment as SWC comes in and hit’s a double clothesline pinning Josh and Chris in the corner. With nowhere to go, they fall at the mercy of the other three men, until a cry is heard from the crowd as Tommy Hargrove and Justin Kaard come tearing down the aisle and slide into the ring.
Keith Oswalt: And here comes the cavalry!
They go right after Watson Carter and Obscene, as Josh and Chris begin to work over Kane. The numbers game pays off, as Kaard and Tommy manage to dispense of SWC and Obscene, tossing them over the top rope and tumbling to the floor, at the same time as Chris and Josh score with a double énziguri that knocks Christian Kane loopy, before he falls over the top rope as well. Tommy and Kaard come to the center and extend their hands, looking at Chris and Josh who pause for a moment, glance at each other and then turn back. They begin to extend their hands, before grabbing hold of Tommy and Kaard respectively and grabbing hold and before they can fight back, throwing them over the ropes.
Keith Oswalt: That’s how you pay back the men that saved your hide!
Eric Witz: It doesn’t matter to them Keith. It’s all about the title, respect can come another day.
Josh and Chris come together nose to nose, staring each other down. There’s no snarling, no chest butting, just a mutual respect, but also a drive to be the best, to be the Valiant Champion.
Keith Oswalt: That's all the time we have ladies and gentlemen! We'll see you at "Return of the Kingdom!"
Eric Witz: You certainly won't want to miss it.
The show fades to blackness.

: Well, that would certainly have been more entertaining than that garbage you just wrestled.
