Oblivion Results - 8.8.10

[Kirk Noble]

*The show opens up with a shot of Christian Kane and Adam Abel standing in the middle of the ring as the fans in the arena boo lustily at them. CK is egging the crowd on as Adam stands there with a grin on his face looking over them. After a few seconds, Adam raises the microphone up to speak.*

Adam Abel: Last week, I made what seems to be a very unpopular decision. Last week at Return to the Kingdom...I combined forces with Christian Kane to form the most powerful alliance in Kingdom of Pride's HISTORY.

*CK applauds this statement as the fans boo once again.*

Adam Abel: But all week long I've been hearing the same question...Why did you do it Adam? Why did you turn your back on us? Why did you go with Christian Kane? We believed in you! You were our hero!! Boo hoo hoo.

*Both CK and Abel make crying motions as the crowd gets angrier at the pair*

Adam Abel: You want to know why I did what I did? Do you want to know why I turned my back on you? Why? BECAUSE I COULD! Because it was so damn easy to do so! You idiots blindly followed me and I let you dictate how I acted for far too long and where did it get me? Beaten. Bloodied. Bruised. But not anymore...CK opened my eyes two weeks ago when he sent me through a table. He showed me that when you want something, you take it. You do what you want...when you want, and you let no one stop you.

*Abel grins sinisterly as he hands the microphone to Christian Kane.*

Christian Kane: You people need to realize just who we are! Because you see we are not just Christian Kane and Adam Abel...we are the future. We are the two people who can drive this company forward. Not Chris Strike...not Josh Eagles...and definitely not Chris Hart.

*The names being mentioned garner a small pop, which CK ignores*

Christian Kane: In fact, we did you all a favor last when we took oot Chris Hart. Now you don't have to endure him walking oot here, and telling you people how he did it for you. How all his strength to continue in the gauntlet came from you. Because that's a lie! Chris Hart didn't do it for you fans, he didn't do it for his mum, or his dad, or his sister, or his cat, or his dog, he did it for HIMSELF! And you people need to realize that!

*CK looks at Abel who nods his head in agreement*

Christian Kane: So Hart, Noble, Sterling, who ever's watching in the back, understand who's calling the shots around here now! Kane and Abel!

*CK drops the mic and bumps fist with Abel, who turns and smirks at the crowd, inciting boos. However the boos suddenly transform into cheers as Chris Hart runs out of the locker room with a steel chair in his hand. CK and Abel turn to see him coming and both slide out of the ring as soon as Hart enters. Chris Hart swings wildly at the pair as they both jump the security gates as run out through the crowd.*

Keith Oswalt: Look at those cowards, running away like that! They need to put their money where their mouth is!

Eric Witz: So you'd try to fight off a mad man with a steel chair, hm?

*Hart stares them down from the ring as the show fades into a commercial break.*

[Kirk Noble]

'Remedy' by Cold plays and Stephen Callaway and Missy step through the curtain. They stand back to back Callaway does a V1 prayer with his nose between his first two fingers, Missy holds her hands together in a gun shape like Charlie's Angels. The moment the two have got their taunt in place the smoke machine sends a cloud upwards behind them. As they walk to the ring, Callaway does his best to look intimidating while Missy walks, almost dancing behind him. Callaway walks up the steps and through the ropes while Missy sits on the turnbuckles and rolls in like Beth Phoenix. Once in the ring they stand side by side, Callaway doing his V1 Prayer and Missy holding her two pinkies together in the shape of an S.

Ike Rose: The following match-up is scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 234 pounds, and hailing from Sacramento, California…being accompanied by Missy…Stephen Callaway!

Keith Oswalt: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to welcome you to a post “Return of the Kingdom” edition of Oblivion! While he may not have gained a victory in the Last Chance battle royal, Stephen Callaway came closer than six other men, eliminating Funky and Nathan Neale!

Eric Witz: He’s got an angle alright. It’s called kicking your ass, and then you get fired from the company.

Ace Diamonds then walks out to the ring, and gets in, getting eyed by Callaway.

Ike Rose: And his opponent, weighing in at 210 pounds, and hailing from Las Vegas…Ace Diamonds!

Eric Witz: Original.

Keith Oswalt: Very.

The bell rings, as Ike Rose exits the ring. Both men begin circle about the ring, before locking up. However, Callaway reacts much quicker, and moves behind Ace, hitting a forearm on the back of Ace’s head. Ace stumbles forward, and Callaway begins to hit a few shots on his lower back, pushing him up against the ropes. After hitting a knee to the stomach of Ace, Callaway Irish Whips Ace, and hits him with a dropkick on the way back. Not slowing down in his relentless offense, Callaway uses both his arms to form an acute angle, before falling, and dropping an elbow on the stomach of Ace!

Keith Oswalt: Clever use of geometry based offense with that elbow right there!

Eric Witz: Ace Diamonds had better get lucky here soon, or Stephen Callaway is going to make him fold…funny? I thought so.

Callaway drops another elbow on Ace, before grabbing his leg, and flipping over the downed Ace, landing on his head! Ace rolls about in pain, his leg clearly injured by the move, but Callaway isn’t finished. He grabs Ace, and locks in a “Saint Andrew” (Single Leg Crab) on the injured leg of Ace, holding the move as Ace yells in pain. Ave attempts to crawl towards the ropes, and after a few moments, is barely able to latch onto them. Callaway then tries to pick up Ace, but the downed man begins to throw some weak shots at Callaway’s stomach. They don’t affect him, and Callaway hits a rough knee to Ace’s face, as Missy and the crowd go wild! Callaway then goes into the corner, and waits as Ace tries to pull himself up. He does, and turns around, only to get blasted with a spear from Callaway! The crowd is now immensely fired up, and Callaway claps to them, before pointing to the top rope, and getting on the top turnbuckle. He pauses, before leaping off, hitting a Meaniesault (Moonsault) on Ace! Callaway covers for the pin…

1…

2…

3-Kickout by Ace!

Keith Oswalt: Stephen Callaway has not only immobilized Ace Diamonds with a flurry of leg moves, but is keeping him down with a high impact arsenal, as seen by that ferocious “Meaniesault,” as he calls it.

Eric Witz: It was a mean Moonsault, that’s all I’ll say.

Callaway lifts up Ace, and pushes him into the corner, hitting a few hard chops on him. Ave then reaches up, and pokes him in the eye! Callaway takes a few steps back, and Ace tries to grab him, but Callaway hits him with a Big Boot! Ace goes down, and Callaway takes a moment to wipe his eyes. Callaway then lifts up Ace, hits a few shots on his lower back, before locking in and hitting an Olympic Slam! Ace appears near gone at this point, barely able to move at all. Callaway then pulls him to the middle of the ring, and locks in a Texas Cloverleaf. Ace yells out once again, not able to move from his current position.

Keith Oswalt: This Texas Cloverleaf can only be adding on to the pain of the earlier Single Crab Leg hold. Ace’s back and legs cannot be feeling like-

Eric Witz: Diamonds. Sorry, beat you to it.

Ace yells out, and raises his hand to tap put…but doesn’t. He instead, tries to reach forward, and after a few painful moments, grabs a hold of the bottom rope, causing Callaway to release the move. Ace then begins to pull himself up, and as Callaway grabs him, Ace hits a small elbow to Callaway’s chest, sending him back a bit. Ace then goes to charge Callaway, but the man that always has an angle ducks, and as Ace rebounds, he’s hit with a Calsi Kick (Superkick)! Callaway goes down for the cover…

1…

3!

Ike Rose: With a time of 5 minutes and 32 seconds, here is your winner…Stephen Callaway!

Keith Oswalt: Ace Diamonds never stood a chance against Stephen Callaway, who’s looking to make waves in Pride after the message he sent in that match.

Eric Witz: And Ace Diamonds…yeah, he doesn’t look like he’ll be coming back. I doubt he’ll be missed.

Ace grabs his leg in pain as Missy holds up Callaway’s hand, and the camera fades out…

[Kirk Noble]

There was a sound of cars, people chattering, the scene fades into a guy sitting down, enjoying a Frappachinco. He's sipping at it, and looking at the busy streets of Los Angeles, California. He lets out a sigh and turns to the camera.

P.K. Jacob-Sterling: PRIDE! A place where names can be made, or be tarnished. Pride is the place for guys like me! People who have the mindset of a champion. See, I came to Pride...because I believe I can do some cool stuff here, by cool stuff I mean, fuckin' faces up, jumping off of high places, and maybe getting to sign some cleavage, the boyhood dream! Pride is the place for someone like me. Someone who'll get into that ring, and throw down with the biggest and baddest mother f'ers to EVER step into a ring.

He puts money down on the table.

P.K. Jacob-Sterling: My name is P.K. Jacob-Sterling, and I'm here...get used to it...

He takes his drink and walks off. The scene fades away...

P.K. Jacob-Sterling...Coming Soon....

[Kirk Noble]

The camera switches back to the ring, where Ike Rose is standing, waiting to start the match. Suddenly…

”Now, I am become Death. The destroyer of Worlds.”

*The the words of Oppenheimer finish and the slow, melodic beat of “Warriors of the World” fills the arena, the giants Somba and Balraj enter through the curtain. Their manager and trainer, Kaja Reinhardt is in tow, drilling the men with their game plan in her native German tongue. The crowd watches in awe as the two behemoths enter the ring. They waste no time taunting. They don’t acknowledge the crowd. They’re ready to brutalize the opposition.

Ike Rose: The following match-up is a tag team match scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at a combined weight of 730 pounds, and being accompanied by Mr. Kaja Reinhardt…Somba and Balraj…Der Krieg Maschinen!

Keith Oswalt: Well… this looks to be the team we’ve heard so much about. Good Lord, they’re…they’re…

Eric Witz: Let me reiterate for my commentating partner: This is the largest tag team Kingdom of Pride has EVER seen. As in, sucks to be Los Sexys right now.

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. However, they quickly go into their corner, fearing “The Krieg.”

Ike Rose: And, their opponents…weighing in at a combined weight of 200 pounds…Rico Suave and Super Sexy…”Los Sexys!”

Keith Oswalt: Well, ‘Los Sexys” have struggled a bit as a team since coming into the Kingdom. Perhaps they’ll venture better against-

Eric Witz: Not a fat chance. These are big, strong men. Men built to kill. DER KRIEG MASCHINEN!

The bell rings, and Ike Rose exits the ring. Both Sexy and Rico get together, and attempt to talk out who’s going. They begin to get into a shouting match, apparently not being able to decide! However, Somba gets tired of waiting, and runs forward, trying to grab Sexy, who runs away! Somba barely attempts to chase him, and as he does, Sexy turns about, and delivers a few swift kicks to the side of Somba. Sexy gets on a roll, picking up a bit of confidence, before yelling “Look at that bod burn!” to the crowd! He turns back to Somba, only to get a thumb spike to the throat! Sexy falls, coughing profusely, Somba wastes no time, before lifting up Sexy, and slamming his head directly into a turnbuckle. Somba then begins to hit some relentless chops on Sexy, before pushing him against the ropes. Somba Irish Whips Sexy, before hitting him with a running knee to send Sexy down!

Keith Oswalt: These abrasive hits are just painful to watch Eric. Somba is a trained killing machine, so you know those shots are meant to specifically hurt Sexy’s body in ways we could never imagine.

Eric Witz: I’m just glad it’s not my body. So…so glad.

Somba reaches down, and begins to choke Sexy, who thrashes about crazily! Using one hand, Somba then raises Sexy up, before pounding him with a few body shots, pushing him into the corner. Somba continues his choking of Sexy, until the referee tries to pull him away. Big mistake. Somba then chases the referee out of the ring! As Somba turns back towards Sexy, Sexy rushes forward, trying to catch the big man off guard, and manages to get a few shots on Somba before getting a swift hit to the throat again! Somba Irish Whips Sexy into the opposite corner, and as he charges him, Sexy hits a dropkick on Somba! Sexy then rushes over, and tags in Rico, who hesitantly gets in the ring. Rico then begins to hit a few stiff kicks on Somba, backing him up to the ropes. Rico goes to Irish Whip Somba, but Somba reverses the move, before hitting Rico with a Spinebuster! Somba then walks over, and tags in Balraj!

The massive Balraj gets into the ring, and Rico stumbles back, tagging Sexy back in! Sexy mouths “are you flipping shitting me?” at Rico, before getting in the ring. The two get face to face, before Sexy throws dome punches on Balraj, who barely seems affected at all. Balraj steps up, and Sexy grabs the bottom of his pants as if something’s wrong! He runs towards his corner, and tags in Rico, who does not at all seem pleased! Before Rico can react, Balraj grabs him, and with one arm, throws him into the ring! Rico gets up, before getting a huge hit to the back of the head, sending him right back down. As Rico tries to get up, Balraj hits him with a Bit Boot, nearly knocking him unconscious. Balraj then reaches over, and knocks Sexy off the apron, who instantly grabs his pants again!

Keith Oswalt: The Krieg is just walking all over Los Sexys. But, be aware of something. They’re not swinging around oddly like big monsters. These shots are hard, and on target. They’re methodically wearing down Los Sexys, and a few more shots like that and this is over.

Eric Witz: It may already be over for Super Sexy, who seems to be having pants issues…

Both Balraj and Somba barely even glance at one another before lifting up Rico, and dropping him with a double spinebuster! His eyes roll into the back of his head upon impact, but that doesn’t stop Balraj from tagging Somba back in. Somba gets back into the ring, before lifting up Rico, and hitting him with a Samoan Drop! Balrag gets tagged back in, and as soon as he does, he grabs Rico, who is crawling away, and slams his head into the back of Rico’s sending him down once again. Balraj lifts up Rico, and Rico begins to fire back with a few shots. He gains some momentum, before running against the ropes…but runs into a short arm clothesline! Rico gets up, and runs into another…and then a third! Balraj looks as if he’s going to for a third, and Rico falls, cowering for the big man! Balraj then steps on Rico, pinning him..

1…

2…

Rico rolls away!

Keith Oswalt: You have to wonder if that was the smart thing to do on Rico’s part. He’s obviously taken an immense amount of punishment, and a pin attempt almost seems like a mercy killing from the massive Balraj.

Eric Witz: I’d advise tagging in Super Sexy to trade blows with Balraj, but that might get our ring a bit…messy, to say the least.
Balraj lifts up Rico, and looks over at Super Sexy, who has left the apron! Balraj looks disgusted, before hitting Rico with a Punjabi Backbreaker (Shock Treatment). Balraj steps on him for the pin…

1…

2…

3!

Ike Rose: With a time of 8 minutes and 54 seconds…Balraj and Somba…Der Krieg Maschinen!

Keith Oswalt: A dominating performance to say the least from The Krieg!

Eric Witz: I highly doubt we’ll be seeing either Rico or Super Sexy again…especially after that “crappy” performance.

Balraj and Somba lock eyes, before exiting the ring, as the screen fades to black…

“Just Like you” by Three Days grace Blares over the Arena’s PA System as Kid Flanagan then appears holding an book bag in his hands as he then makes his way down to the ring, this is the first time the fans are seeing this guy so they are hesitant to cheer or boo for him. However, a few people near the guard rails extend their hands which results in them getting fives from Kid, when he walks by them. Kid Flanagan then climbs into the ring. Kid Flanagan, then sets his book bag on the ring mat as he goes through his book bag, he then pulls out an mic. Kid then looks around at the crowd, he smiles.

Keith Oswalt: This is King of Pride’s first look at Kid Flanagan!

Eric Witz: Flanagan!? I have heard of this name before…

Keith Oswalt: I have been told he has no connections to that Flanagan.

Eric Witz: That can only be an good thing right!?

Keith Oswalt: Depends on how you feel about Reid Flanagan.

Eric Witz: Whose that!?

Kid Flanagan then puts the mic to his mouth.

Kid Flanagan: Whats sup Cookeville!?

Little pop is given by the crowd.

Kid Flanagan: So, you must be all wondering, Who the futt is this kid!? Well, I am Kid Flanagan!

Crowd gives alittle cheer after hearing the name Flanagan.

Kid Flanagan: I, signed an contract for King of Pride yesterday, which means I wouldn’t be able to step into the wrestling ring until next week or so, however I couldn’t wait that long so I used my kung fu on the Backstage worker to get the chance to step in this ring, earlier then expected.

The crowd is restless, Kid Flanagan kinda senses this as he all of a sudden grins at the entrance ramp.

Kid Flanagan: Futt it! Let’s have an wet T-shirt contest!

The crowd wakes up as they hear “Wet T-shirt” They cheer. Kid Flanagan then gets out of the ring, looking for prospects for his contest.

Keith Oswalt: Kid Flanagan is probably gonna get in trouble for this.

Eric Witz: I think I am gonna like Kid.

Kid Flanagan is having trouble finding hot women to volunteer for his Wet T-shirt contest so he gets back in the ring, The crowd starts to boo which makes Kid Flanagan to smile as he starts to wave at the entrance ramp. Just then “Girls just wanna have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper blares over the PA System as eight hot women wearing white t-shirts and Daisy Duke shorts start to make their way down to the ring, The fans start to cheer. The women then get into the ring, they all line up in the middle of the ring as Kid Flanagan looks all of them over.

Keith Oswalt: Looks like Kid Flanagan had all this planned.

Eric Witz: Geniuses always have an plan, Which has me to believe that me and Kid might be brothers.

Kid Flanagan: I think we are ready to go…

Kid then realizes he has no water.

Kid Flanagan: Futt!

Just then “Barbie Girl” by Aqua blares over the PA System as an hot woman in an mini skirt holding an super duper water gun starts making her way down to the ring.

Keith Oswalt: Where did all of these gorgeous women come from!?

Eric Witz: I think Kid Flanagan and these hot women are apart of the same deal.

Keith Oswalt: Wait, You saying all these women belong to Kid!?

Eric Witz: Must be, cause I don’t see the letters C K branded on them!

The hot woman holding the super duper water gun gets in the ring, Kid gives her thumbs up.

Kid Flanagan: Thanks Kimberly, you save the day once again.

Kimberly blows Kid an kiss as she then moves close to the hot women lined up.

Keith Oswalt: I think the woman with the gun is Kid’s girlfriend.

Eric Witz: I bet she does more then blow kisses in her alone time with Kid.

Kid Flanagan is seen whispering something into Kimberly’s ear, he then moves away from her.

Kid Flanagan: Alright, is Cookeville ready for an Wet T-shirt Contest!?

Fans Cheer “YES!”.

Kid Flanagan: Let them have it Kimberly!

Kimberly then shoots the first woman.

Kid Flanagan: BOOM!

Kid then moves closer to see the end result he then smiles ear to ear.

Kid Flanagan: BOOB SHOT!

Kimberly then quickly makes her way to the remaining seven women and delivers water onto their breasts. Kid investigates all the women.

Kid Flanagan: Ok Ladies, move around in a circle so everybody here gets an good look.

The women start to walk around the ring showing off their wet chests. Then when the women do their cricle around the ring they start to exit the ring, has all the women exit the ring, Kid is alone in the ring with Kimberly.

Kid Flanagan: Everybody like the Contest!?

Fans cheers. Kid then grabs the water gun from Kimberly, she then looks at him weird.

Kid Flanagan: Well the show isn’t over yet!

Fans cheer as Kimberly tells Kid that wont work cause she isn’t wearing white shirt.

Kid Flanagan: What colour is your bra!?

Fans get louder as they hear “BRA!”.

Keith Oswalt: Kid is gonna get his girlfriend to strip to her bra!?

Eric Witz: YES!

Kimberly then smiles as she then removes her top to reveal her white bra. Kid Flanagan then aims up the water gun.

Kid Flanagan: Everybody ready for this!?

Fans cheer “YES”. Kid then pulls the trigger.

Kid Flanagan: BOOM!

He empties the gun on Kimberly’s bra, he then drops the gun on the mat as he goes over to Kimberly, he then puts the mic to Kimberly’s Mouth.

Kimberly: BOOB SHOT!

Just then security guards are seen slowly making their down to the ring, Kid and his girlfriend then quickly grab their stuff and get the futt out of the ring and make their escape through the crowd, as the fans cheer.

[Kirk Noble]

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 contest is scheduled for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. Introducing first, from Camden, New Jersey, weighing in at 265 pounds, Tommy Hargrove!

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!

Following the introductions, the bell rings, but before Tommy Hargrove can prepare himself to be ready for the match, Obscene sprints over to his corner and hits him with a running dropkick! Throwing Hargrove to the corner, Obscene gets back to his feet and charges forward connecting with a running elbow strike to Hargrove, landing it on Hargrove’s head. After hitting this move, Obscene leaps up to the second rope and grabs the top of Hargrove’s shoulders and then moves his legs into Hargrove’s stomach before falling back and hitting a monkey flip on Tommy Hargrove, throwing Hargrove high up into the air and allowing gravity to do the work as he slams down on his back.

After hitting the monkey flip, Obscene pops right back up to his feet and quickly goes into a cover on Hargrove, however Hargrove quickly kicks out of the move before a one count, inciting anger from Obscene. After the quick kick out, Obscene thrusts Hargrove’s shoulders back to the mat before delivering a swift chop and again going for a cover. However, the same results occurs with Hargrove showing his tenacity. Becoming flustered, Obscene lifts Hargrove up off of the mat, but before he can hit a move or anything, Hargrove flies up and hit’s a quick uppercut on Obscene backing away from him. Giving himself time to get up to his feet, Hargrove stands up, but just as he does this, Obscene sprints at him, but Hargrove is able to catch Obscene with a uranage hold before lifting him up and using Obscene’s own momentum against him and hitting him with a uranage backbreaker!

Keith Oswalt: Huge reversal by Tommy Hargrove with that uranage backbreaker!

Eric Witz: The kid got lucky, he’s going to have to follow up if he wants to keep the advantage.

Keith Oswalt: He may be new, but I think he understands that much Eric. I’m pretty sure he knows how to wrestle, he has wrestled more than you have after all.

Following up after the backbreaker, Tommy Hargrove stomps on Obscene a few times before lifting him up off of his feet and putting him into a butterfly hold and delivering a few swift knees to Obscene’s midsection before flipping Obscene over and hitting him with a butterfly backbreaker, much to the crowd’s and Nick Hill’s surprise! Grinning after hitting the impressive move, Hargrove throws Obscene’s back into the match and cover’s Obscene,

1...

2...

Kick out!

Despite hitting the big backbreaker, Obscene kicked out solidly after two, leaving a disappointed, albeit focused, Tommy Hargrove to lift him back up and quickly whip him to the ropes. Hitting the ropes and bouncing back towards Hargrove, Obscene finally leaps up and is able to catch Hargrove off guard as he hits him with a leg lariat. But, instead of taking Hargrove off of his feet, Obscene only serves to knock him back into the ropes and as Obscene gets back up, he runs against the ropes to pick up speed before blitzing towards Hargrove, but just at the last second as he dives towards Hargrove, Hargrove moves out of the way and watches as Obscene dives through the middle rope to the cement ground below!

Eric Witz: I’ll admit, that was pretty smart thinking by Tommy Hargrove.

Keith Oswalt: That was phenomenal by Tommy Hargrove! I didn’t know the kid had it in him!

Grinning after having watched Obscene harm himself instead of do damage, Tommy Hargrove finally gets out of the ring, despite the referee telling him to remain in the ring. After getting out of the ring, Hargrove helps lift Obscene to his feet and despite resistance to getting up, Obscene can’t fight Hargrove off as Hargrove puts Obscene into a front facelock and lifting him up before dropping him on his back with a brutal vertical suplex! After having hit the suplex, Hargrove grins as Obscene holds his back again and Hargrove simply rips Obscene up off of the mat before whipping him to the steel barricade, showing a mean streak the like Kingdom of Pride hasn’t seen from him before. Obscene slams into the steel back first and after this, Hargrove sprints at him and hits him with a big boot to the face, throwing Obscene over the barricade and into the fans.

Grinning as he looks to Nick Hill, Hargrove quickly lifts up over the guard rail and pulls Obscene up to his feet before grabbing Obscene in a high waistlock and quickly lifting Obscene up and over the barricade, throwing him over his shoulders with a Tommy Gunn (German Suplex) onto the concrete floor!

Keith Oswalt: Call an end to this match! Obscene’s knocked out!

Eric Witz: Normally, I’d say keep beating Obscene up, but this time, I think Obscene can’t even feel what’s happening to him.

Keith Oswalt: Wait, you just want the match to stop because Obscene can’t feel anything?

Eric Witz: Yeah, the bastard’s a… bastard. If he can’t feel anything, then he shouldn’t be hurt. I only want him hurt when he can feel everything.

Keith Oswalt: You’re a twisted little man.

Following the Tommy Gunn, Tommy Hargrove grins at the unconscious Obscene before getting into the ring and listening to the ref as he decides that Obscene is unable reenter the ring and that by referee decision, the match has been ruled a count out victory for Tommy Hargrove.

Ike Rose: Here is you winner, via referee stoppage through count out, at 6 minutes and 12 seconds, Tommy Hargrove!

Keith Oswalt: Call it whatever you want, but Tommy Hargrove was very dominate in that match.

As the referee raises Hargrove's hand, Obscene is able to get in the ring, and tackle's Hargrove to the ground! He begins to stomp him wildly, mercilessly until Hargrove starts to bleed from the nose! Obscene looks like a wild man as he pushes the referee down, and grabs a microphone.

Obscene: This is Bullshit! BULLSHIT! I should be Valiant Champion right now, not fighting fatasses and drifting through the midcard week by week! It doesn't fuckong make sense! I'm a Pride Original, and all I get is shit! Well, fuck you Hargrove, and fuck you Pride!

Obscene spits on Hargrove, before exiting the ring, as the scene fades...

[Kirk Noble]

Following Tommy Hargrove’s impressive victory over Obscene, Stephen Callaway can be seen bursting into Jeremy Sterling’s office. Sterling, who is hard at work with a pen in hand and talking to what can be assumed to be a business affiliate, looks up to see a furious Stephen Callaway. Noticing Callaway’s expression, Jeremy Sterling sighs before telling the person on the other side of the conversation that he will call him back and hanging the phone up. Looking at Stephen Callaway, Jeremy Sterling gets ready to ask him what he wants, but before he can Stephen Callaway furiously speaks.

Stephen Callaway: Why is that pathetic attempt of a joke, Flap Flanagan on my roster!?

Feigning confusion, Jeremy Sterling looks at Stephen Callaway before correcting him.

Jeremy Sterling: Who’s Flap Flanagan? Do you mean Kid Flanagan?

Clearly annoyed with Jeremy’s playful antics, Stephen Callaway glares at him while speaking.

Stephen Callaway: I don’t care what he wants to go by now. Did you just watch what he did in my ring?

Having grown tired of playing around with Stephen Callaway, Jeremy Sterling drops his act and begins to speak to Stephen Callaway with an undertone of annoyance.

Jeremy Sterling: So what do you suggest be done, Stephen?

Stephen Callaway: I want to teach him some respect, next week.

Jeremy Sterling: If that’s what you want, fine. You have it, next week, Stephen Callaway against Kid Flanagan.

Grinning, Stephen Callaway begins to walk out of Jeremy Sterling’s office, however before he gets out of the office, Jeremy Sterling calls his name back again.

Jeremy Sterling: Stephen.

Turning back to look at Jeremy Sterling, Callaway pauses in the doorway.

Jeremy Sterling: This is my roster. And that is my ring. You better remember that the next time you come into my office.

After Jeremy Sterling says this, he goes back to his paperwork as Stephen Callaway leaves his office and the scene fades.

[Kirk Noble]

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 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. He 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 contest is scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 295 pounds, and hailing from Miami, Florida...Storm!

Keith Oswalt: Eric, over the years we've seen some incredibly dominating performances from members of this roster. Blade's vicious beatdowns, Delikado's Syndicate title reign...but at Return of the Kingdom, Storm may have trumped them all. Not only did he defeat seven other men to win the Last Chance Battle Royal, he then went on to wrestle in the Gauntlet Match for the Valiant Championship, going in first! Had it not be for Chris Hart, Storm would be our Valiant Champion right now!

Eric Witz: He's gotta be pissed after coming up short like that. You think this is Kurt's way of sticking it to his little brother?

“It’s My Life” plays throughout the arena and 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 in the distance with intensity.

Ike Rose: And his opponent, weighing in at a total of 230 pounds, and hailing from Ontario, Canada...Johnny Noble!

Eric Witz: Looks like the "Noble One" no longer applies to Kurt anymore.

Keith Oswalt: Indeed it doesn't. At Return of the Kingdom, Mr. Noble debuted, defeating Michael Robinson and ousting him from the company. Now, we get to see his first real challenge against the monster Storm!

The bell rings and Storm immediately charges at his smaller opponent, looking to catch the inexperienced Noble off guard. However, Johnny’s been in his fair share of fights and sidesteps the larger opponent. Noble uses Storm’s momentum to send him over the top rope. Storm crashes to the floor with a thud and pops up nearly immediately, shocked at the prowess of Johnny Noble. He shakes his head in disbelief and gets back into the ring. This time Storm opts for a more traditional approach, offering Noble a test of strength. Noble accepts and Storm easily shoves him down to the canvas. He nods to himself smugly as Noble takes his time getting up.

Eric Witz: Classic rookie mistake there by trying to overpower Storm, who's a good 70 pounds heavier. Even David knew he couldn't push Goliath around.

Keith Oswalt: Johnny Noble needs to stick to his speedy offense, and keep the monster grounded to win this one.

Noble doesn’t take kindly to the larger man bullying him around and runs at Storm. Storm does the same and levels Johnny with a stiff lariat. As Johnny clutches his head, Storm drops to one knee and applies a headlock. Noble gasps for air and the larger man cranks down on his neck. Johnny struggles, but finally plants his feet and is able to stand. He buries his elbow into Storm’s ribs three times, forcing the big man to release the hold. Johnny hits the ropes and attempts to shoulder block Storm down. Storm reels, but doesn’t fall. Noble does it again to the same response. He shakes his head, frustrated at Storm’s size, and screams “stupid, stupid!” He palms Storm’s face and shoves him backwards. This causes Storm to charge angrily…right into a European uppercut from Johnny Noble!

Keith Oswalt: There was a veteran move from the young kid!

Eric Witz: C'mon stupid, strikes aren't going to win this one for you.

With Storm finally down, Noble pounces on his neck and unleashes a flurry of punches. He decides to climb to the second rope and attempt another impact move. As he leaps off with an elbow attempt, Storm rolls out of the way! Noble crashes down hard to the canvas and Storm begins to take advantage. Storm lifts Johnny up and slams him into a nearby turnbuckle before slamming him down with the Gale Storm (spinebuster)! He covers Johnny!

1…

2…

Kickout by Johnny Noble!

Storm shakes his head and lifts Johnny to his feet. He plants Johnny with a DDT and covers him once again.

1…

2…

Kickout yet again!

Keith Oswalt: Quick, resilient pins from Storm aren't appearing to have much affect on Johnny Noble. I suppose stamina runs in the Noble family.

Eric Witz: Are you kidding me? He's almost going into cardiac arrest trying to push Storm off of him!

Storm pulls Noble up again and hooks him for the Lightning Strike. Johnny, sensing what is coming, stomps down on Storm’s ankle. The big man stagger back, allowing Johnny to spear him to the canvas and mount some punching offense. The referee pulls Johnny off, allowing Storm to raise up to his knees before Johnny drills him with a shining wizard! Noble makes the cover…

1…

And Storm powers out!

Johnny shakes his head, realizing what a powerful opponent he’s got. Before Storm can capitalize on his kick out, Johnny locks in a sleeper hold.

Keith Oswalt: Smart tactical play from a man that's had somewhat of a shaky, impromptu offense this match against Storm.

Eric Witz: Hey, my boy's doing fine!

Keith Oswalt: Oh, so you're father Noble now, aren't you?

As Johnny attempts to cut off Storm’s air supply, the big man raises to his feet. As Storm stands, Noble is lifted off of his feet. Storm slams Johnny backwards into the turnbuckle, forcing him to break the hold. Storm grabs Johnny and lifts him into the air….and holds him there. He holds him there so long that some people in the crowd consider a concessions stand break. Finally, Storm slams Noble down with a stalling suplex. After his display of strength, he makes the cover.

1…

2…

Kickout yet again by Johnny Noble

Keith Oswalt: Raw strength is what you get by facing Storm. He held Johnny Noble in air for at least 20 seconds.

Eric Witz: What? Oh, sorry, I fell asleep.

Storm lifts Johnny up again, looking to repeat his stalling suplex display. However, this time Noble is able to get free and lands behind his opponent. Johnny grabs Storm’s neck and drops him with a cutter-like neckbreaker! Before Storm can even think about getting up, Noble pulls him to his feet and drops him with the Orton backbreaker! Johnny locks on another sleeper hold, clamping down on Storm’s sore neck.

Keith Oswalt: Again with the sleep hold! Storm's neck has got to be in immense pain, no doubt throwing off his balance and coordination

Eric Witz: This is wrestling, not ballet. Just do what you have to win!

This time, Storm isn’t able to stand. He does get to the ropes. As Johnny backs off and lets Storm stand up, Storm charges him with a big boot attempt. Johnny sidesteps the attack and Storm crotches himself on the top rope. As he stays there in agony, Johnny grabs his opponent by the arm and jerks him to the canvas. Johnny locks Storm’s head and clamps down with End of Show (Crossface). Storm tries to overpower him, and tries to push himself up, doing so...but Noble then rolls him up...

1...

2...

3!

Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 9 minutes and 45 seconds...Johnny Noble!

Keith Oswalt: Oh my God!

Eric Witz: Well...that's a surprise.

Noble rolls out of the ring in a hurry, as Storm gets up, clearly venting. He yells "WHAT?!?" as Noble, who grins as goes up the stage. Storm then walks around the ring, kicking the ropes, before ripping off one of the turnbuckles and throwing it!

Keith Oswalt: Storm is a monster like no other. I'd be afraid if I were anyone on this roster...

Eric Witz: As in not us!

The scene fades to a commercial...

[Kirk Noble]

Backstage, Storm is still throwing a fit, as he slams both his hands against a wall in a furious rage. He pushes a backstage worker out of his way, before grabbing a table, and completely tossing it over! Storm then looks over at a bulletin board, and begins to tear notices off the wall. As he is, a voice behind him can be heard.

Chris Strike: Someone clearly is a little upset with themselves.

Storm spins around, and glares at Strike.

Storm: This doesn’t concern you Chris. I’d suggest you get out of my face, or maybe you’ll end up like all those idiots did at Return of the Kingdom did against me. So…scram.

Chris Strike: If you think tearing up the ring or backstage is going to stop you from choking, you’re wrong, and you know it. We both do, actually.

Storm gets right in Strike’s face, but it’s clear that “The God of Thunder” isn’t afraid.

Storm: How about you make yourself useful and relay a message to Chris Hart tonight? I’m not simply going to “go away.” After he’s done with Christian Kane, Josh Eagles, or some other pathetic excuse of a wrestler, tell him that I’ll be waiting. I want MY shot…and no one’s going to stand in my way. Not even the “God of Thunder.”

Storm scoffs, before walking off-screen. Strike grins, as the screen fades to blackness….

[Kirk Noble]

The scene switches to backstage where Johnny Noble is walking, only minutes after his confrontation with Storm. He’s holding the back of his head, wincing as he walks. He walks into the locker-room, and begins to undo his boots, before looking around. A voice can be heard around him.

Justin Kaard: Looking for this?

Kaard walks into view, an ice pack in his hand. The younger Noble brother looks a bit wary, but takes it from Kaard.

Johnny Noble: Yeah, I was. Thanks.

Justin Kaard: No problem. I know what it’s like to take a beating from Storm. I’m actually still recovering from a few hard shots that I took last week. But hey…you did good in beating Storm.

Kaard sits down next to Noble, who places the ice pack against his head.

Justin Kaard: You’re pretty tough from what I’ve seen, you know. I really can believe you’re a Noble brother.

Johnny Noble looks a bit annoyed at the comparison, and he diverts his attention.

Johnny Noble: Yeah, I guess. Doesn’t really mean anything to me though.

Justin Kaard: Then you’re one of the few around here with that mindset. Whether you like it or not, people are going to remember you because you’re Kurt Noble’s brother. You know, brother of the guy that runs this place, and has basically become a legend around here.

Johnny Noble: Yeah, I’m sure he’s great and everything. That’s what everyone keeps forcing down my throat.

Johnny Noble clearly is now agitated with Kaard.

Justin Kaard: Lighten up. They’re just hoping that it one day inspires you to be as good as your bother-

That statement sets off Johnny Noble, who gets up, and flings the ice pack at Kaard! He clearly looks pissed, not enjoying that comparison even more!

Justin Kaard: Hey!

Johnny Noble: Listen you…I don’t know who you are, or why you’re sitting here talking to me about him, but we need to get some things straight. I’m my own man, not some shell of Kurt’s that he’s keeping around to amuse everyone. I’m not him, and I NEVER will be! Got it? Good.

Johnny Noble snarls, before storming out of the room. Kaard wipes a bit of water from his face, as the scene fades out.

[Kirk Noble]

The scene opens backstage just minutes before we are about to see Josh Eagles go one on one with Christian Kane. Our scene brings us Josh Eagles who is bouncing up and down getting himself psyched up for his match when Chris Hart walks around the corner the Valiant Title over his shoulder and the two meet eyes and smile.

Eagles: It doesn't look all that bad on you.

Hart: Well one of the actual Canadians on this roster had to win and well, you've had a whole lot of glory already haven't you?

Eagles: Not nearly enough yet friend don't you worry about that. Look I was going to find you after the show, I wanted to thank you.

Chris looks confused at why Josh is saying thank you.

Hart: What did I do?

Eagles: At Return of the Kingdom, protecting me and all, well trying to ... it was a stand up think you did.

Hart: You would have done the same for me.

Eagles: Maybe I would have, the thirst for a championship is very strong. I haven't had the chance to truly test how badly I need to quench that, but you showed true character. You deserve that belt Chris and I think you will make a great champion.

Chris rubs his hand through his hair smiling.

Hart: Thanks Josh, that means a lot you know.

Eagles: Now it's just time that you are ready because you have a a bulls eye on your back and the entire roster is going to be gunning for you. The real fight is going to begin soon, Kane, Storm, Abel, and the rest of the roster they are all going to want you!

Hart: Heh, it comes with being champion I guess. Don't worry I plan on fighting for this belt, but I noticed you left your own name off.

Eagles: There is no back bulls eye with me Chris. You'll see me coming a mile away and I'll let you know when I am coming to take that belt, but don't think you aren't on the list. Christian Kane just needs to be dealt with first, then ... well then I'll let you know.

Josh and Chris exchange what could be called a knowing smile and Chris extends his hand in a show of respect and Josh instantly takes it.

Hart: Good to know that I can trust one person at least.

Eagles: I also repay my favors. I said I'd have your back in FIRE and if you need me I have your back here. I owe you a big one, likely my health right now, trust me when I say I will pay you back for that.

Hart: I won't forget it if you do! Good luck tonight.

Eagles: You to.

Chris continues his journey down the hall and Josh goes back to getting pumped for his match as the camera comes back to the ring for more action.

[Kirk Noble]

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 thirty minute time limit, introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 220 pounds, Christian Kane!

"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.

As Ike Rose exit’s the ring and the bell rings, Josh Eagles steps towards Christian Kane, still bitter with Christian about the Gauntlet match last week, however before Josh Eagles can do anything, Christian Kane scans the front row before shouting “No!” and getting out of the ring and walking to the center of the front row and standing a thirteen year old kid up and getting next to him, pointing out how eerily similar the two of them look. Shouting “Double Vision!” at the camera Christian Kane smiles before turning to the kid and telling him, “Kid, you’re gonna fuck a ton of hot bitches tonight!” After saying this and patting the kid on the shoulder, Christian Kane turns back to the ring, but before he can do anything, Josh Eagles soars over the top rope and crashes onto Christian Kane slamming him against the guardrail with a big plancha!

Keith Oswalt: Kick his ass Eagles! God, I hate Christian Kane!

Eric Witz: Bias! You shouldn’t be allowed to call Christian Kane’s matches! We are supposed to be impartial!

Keith Oswalt: Christian just told that kid to go have unprotected sex with a ton of sluts! Sorry I don’t want to see the STD count raise any higher!

Eric Witz: Psh, that kid can’t get STD’s, he looks just like CK!

Keith Oswalt: Do you always get more idiotic when Christian Kane is around?

After hitting the big plancha, Josh Eagles slaps a few of the fans hands before rushing at Christian Kane and delivering a quick bootwash to Christian Kane before lifting him back up and whipping Christian Kane back to the steel barricade. However before Christian Kane hit’s the steel, he hops up and onto the steel. As he does this, Josh Eagles rushes towards him and Christian Kane shows off his athleticism as he now Moonsault off of the top of the barricade and crashes on top of Josh Eagles taking Eagles to the ground! Getting up to boos from the crowd, Christian Kane shakes his head as he holds his back, still slightly sore from slamming into the barricade and then going to his look-alike and slapping his hand.

After doing this, Christian Kane lifts Josh Eagles back up to his feet before tossing him in the ring. Sliding in the ring himself, Christian Kane meets Eagles on his feet and the two engage into a lock up, but Eagles takes advantage at this point and hit’s a quick arm drag on Christian Kane, but both quickly get back up and Christian Kane rushes at Eagles, but Eagles counters Christian Kane and hit’s a quick hurricanrana on him, sending Christian Kane again back to the ropes. Despite being hit with the hurricanrana, Christian Kane quickly gets back up to his feet rolling through the hurricanrana and again rushing at Christian Kane, but this time Josh Eagles hits him with a Japanese arm drag, throwing Christian Kane over his head. However, instead of releasing Christian Kane’s wrist, Josh Eagles locks Christian Kane into a top wrist lock, twisting Christian Kane’s wrist.

Keith Oswalt: Very nice combination of moves by Josh Eagles there. I hope he breaks Christian Kane’s wrist.

Eric Witz: You know, unlike you, I don’t think Christian Kane needs his wrist to get off.

Keith Oswalt: How many times do I have to tell you this is a family show!?

Eric Witz: As long as Christian Kane is on the roster, we’ll never be a family show.

Despite having the hold locked in, Christian Kane quickly squirms his way to the ropes and drapes half of his body over the ropes, forcing Josh Eagles to break the hold. Reluctantly breaking his hold, Josh Eagles refuses to give Christian Kane a clean break as he stomps on Christian’s wrist before lifting him back to his feet and whipping him to the ropes. As Christian Kane sprints and hit’s the ropes, he bounces back at Josh Eagles, but before Eagles can do anything, Christian Kane gets up into the air and nails Josh Eagles with an STKO (Busaiku Knee Kick)!

Eric Witz: Great counter there by Christian Kane!

Keith Oswalt: Great? Christian Kane got lucky. He doesn’t ever do anything good, ever.

Eric Witz: Do you have a soul? Like really, just because Christian Kane does some “questionable” things, doesn’t mean he isn’t a good man.

Keith Oswalt: He pushes women out of windows for Christ’s sake!

Eric Witz: Shit happens?

Following the big kick, Christian Kane quickly covers Josh Eagles,

1...

2...

Kick out!

Slamming his hands against the mat after the kick out, Christian Kane gets back up to his feet while lifting Josh Eagles up as well and delivering a quick kick to him before hitting him with a snap suplex. After the suplex, Christian Kane gets back to his feet quickly and pulls Josh Eagles along with him. After doing this, Christian Kane kicks Josh Eagles in the stomach, however Eagles catches Christian’s leg and Christian Kane quickly delivers a swift enziguri to Josh Eagles. After having hit this move, Christian Kane runs behind Josh Eagles and finally hits him with a one armed bulldog, planting Josh Eagles’s face into the mat.

After hitting the bulldog, Christian Kane again lifts Josh Eagles up to his feet, however as Christian attempts to put Josh into a hammerlock, Josh Eagles drops to a knee and quickly hits Christian Kane with a snapmare, pulling Christian Kane in front of him. After hitting this move, Josh Eagles locks Christian into a sleeper hold, but doesn’t hold this too long before getting up to his feet and viciously booting Christian in the back of the head. After the kick, Josh Eagles lifts Christian back to his feet while remaining behind him before quickly delivering a vicious back drop driver on Christian Kane, planting Christian on neck with the move. Following the brutal move, Josh Eagles covers Christian Kane,

2...

Kick out!

Keith Oswalt: Damn it! Come on Josh!

Eric Witz: Since clearly impartiality has gone to hell… Go Christian go!

After hitting the move, Josh Eagles doesn’t let Christian Kane’s kick out bother him as he lifts Christian Kane back up off of the mat and throws him to the ropes. After doing this, Christian Kane goes for a lariat, however Josh Eagles ducks under this and turns around to look at Christian Kane, however as he does this, Christian Kane goes for a huge superkick, but Josh Eagles manages to avoid that and instead grabs Christian Kane’s boot and throws it down before throwing his foot up and nailing Christian Kane with an Impact Asylum (Inverted Stomp Facebreaker)! Immediately following this move, Josh Eagles quickly covers Christian Kane,

3!

Ike Rose: Here is your winner, via pinfall, at 13 minutes and 57 seconds, Josh Eagles!

Keith Oswalt: Thank you Josh! I would have been pissed if I had to listen to Christian Kane gloat for an entire week!

Eric Witz: I think Christian Kane will still find something to gloat about.

Keith Oswalt: What a hard fought match between these two competitors! Josh Eagles and Christian Kane. They have left it all out there in the ring.

Eric Witz: Wait, what is going on over there?

As Eagles and Kane lay exhausted on the mat, Adam Abel emerges from the right side of the crowd and leaps over the guard rail. Abel then grabs a steel chair from ringside and slides it into the ring.

Keith Oswalt: COME ON! Abel was banned from ringside! What is he doing here?

Eric Witz: He was banned during the match! Abel is within his rights to be here now!

Abel slides into the ring as Josh Eagles slowly uses the ropes to get back to his feet. Eagles doesn't realize that Abel is behind him with a chair as he slowly turns around and gets cracked right in the forehead with the chair and collapses to the ground in a heap as the crowd screams in agony.

Eric Witz: That was vicious!

The crowd begins to boo as Christian Kane gets to his feet the help of Adam Abel and the pair begin to stomp Eagles who is laying motionless on the mat. Kane moves Abel out of the way and kneels down on top of Josh and begins to punch him savagely until his fist becomes crimson with the blood that is gushing out of Eagles' head.

Keith Oswalt: What a disgusting display of force by Kane and Abel. These two men are sick!

Eric Witz: They aren't sick, they are sending a message!

Abel tells CK to pick Eagles up which Kane does. Abel then takes the top of the steel chair and places it under Eagle's chin.

Keith Oswalt: What is Abel doing now?

Abel then grabs a fist full of hair on the back of Eagle's head and while holding the chair in place slams the legs of the chair into the mat, sending the top of it into Eagle's throat. Eagles drops in pain clutching his throat, desperately trying to catch his breath. Kane and Abel smile as they look down at Eagles who is flopping around the mat as the crowd boos loudly.

: ENOUGH!

Jeremy Sterling comes out from the locker room with a microphone in hand.

Jeremy Sterling: What do you two think you are doing? Adam, you were banned from ringside and then you come down here after the match? You think that I'm going to let that go unpunished?

Adam laughs and shrugs at Jeremy.

Jeremy Sterling: You think its a joke? You think this is funny? Let me show you what I think is funny...Next week, It will be Adam Abel versus Josh Eagles. But, what I don't want is you two just murdering one another and making a scene. So I'm going to give you someone else to focus on. Next week's match-up will be Adam Abel versus Jsh Eagles...

Abel laughs and points down at Josh as the crowd cheers.

Jeremy Sterling: Versus CHRIS STRIKE!

The crowd explodes into cheers as Adam and Christian Kane get angry in the ring. Abel kicks the bottom rope and runs his hands through his hair in shock as CK tries to calm him down.

Jeremy Sterling: Not so in charge now are you? See you next week.

The crowd cheers even louder as the show goes to commercial.

[Kirk Noble]

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

Ike Rose: The following is a tag team match-up, scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 130 pounds, and hailing from Nottingham, Florida…John Parker!

Keith Oswalt: Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s Main Event time! We’re looking at a phenomenal tag team match-up here, as the team of Steven Watson Carter and John Parker take on new Pride member Chris Strike and our new Valiant Champion Chris Hart!

Eric Witz: Look at this goofy little idiot. Can he really compete amongst these other guys?

Keith Oswalt: He’s doing a job good this far. John Parker has yet to lose a match here in Pride!

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. He glares at his tag team partner, who seems excited for the match.

Ike Rose: And his tag team partner, weighing in at 265 pounds, and hailing from Brooklyn, New York…Steven Watson Carter!

Keith Oswalt: I find it quite perplexing that SWC doesn’t come out to the ring with his tag team partner.

Eric Witz: Would you want to be seen next to that?

Keith Oswalt: Well…perhaps not. But this is the first real chance these two have gotten to prove themselves as a team…and they got quite the opponents to be tested out against.

The house lights in the arena go out completely, thunder and rain can be heard from a distance, all while the image of a large mountain complete with a temple atop the peak is seen on the LCD screen while the piano kicks in. The shot zooms into the temple…and up towards a throne at the top of some stairs. A man rises from the throne and makes his way down the steps…and once he nears the camera, he looks up and reveals himself as Chris Strike before making his way over towards a pool of water. Strike looks down into it, and once he does…a shot of lightning hits the water. As the lightning hits the water in the video, streams of smoke shoot up from the ramp way area and high above, while the riffs to “Twilight of the Thunder God” by Amon Amarth blast on out of the PA and Johan Hegg’s epic metal growling kicks in along with the lyrics.

Strike emerges from the curtains and steps out into the limelight, drawing a nice, loud and pleasant reaction from the rabid KoP fan base. Chris Strike stops in front of the entrance ramp and slowly raises his right arm up, hand open. A smirk falls on his lips as the self-proclaimed God of Thunder is showered by gold, white and black streamers, before making his way down the ramp, having the occasional fans reaching out towards him from the rail.

Chris then makes his way up the ring stairs, using the steel pole for support, putting his right foot over the middle rope and as he is about to get inside, Strike suddenly turns around and finds himself with both elbows locked around the top rope, his entire upper body exposed to the crowd’s sight. The God of Thunder just gives the fans a cocky little smile, before going under the middle rope and into the ring. He looks around at the crowd and walks up to the center of the ring. The lights go out once again, as a golden yellow spotlight focuses on him. Chris slowly brings up his right arm up and then swiftly brings it down, leading to another stream of smoke coming out – now from the outside corners of the ring. He leans against the ropes and stretches out his arms, while “Twilight of the Thunder God” fades…

Ike Rose: Introducing first, weighing in at 205 pounds, and hailing from São Paulo, Brazil…”The God of Thunder” Chris Strike!

Keith Oswalt: Chris Strike could be, arguably, the best free agent Pride has ever acquired. Kurt Noble and Jeremy Sterling have invested a large amount of faith in Strike, hoping he can help catapult Pride to the “next level.”

Eric Witz: Yeah, we’ll see about that. I’d better see some pretty amazing things from this “God.”

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

Keith Oswalt: And here he is…our Valiant Champion. Chris Hart joins the ranks of men like Obscene, Blade, Kurt Noble, and Delikado-

Eric Witz: And not Robbie Venom!

Keith Oswalt:…As I was saying, Chris Hart is Prides newest Valiant Champion, winning the Valiant Championship Gauntlet Match that included SWC himself. The kid’s heart is large, but you have to wonder what kind of condition his body is in after the rigorous match.

Both sides prepare for who will start the match-up, and it ends up being Chris Strike and Steven Watson Carter. Carter and Strike quickly begin to lock-up, and Carter drives a knee into Strike’s stomach. Carter begins to hit a few big shots on Strike, backing him up against the ropes. Carter then attacks with a flurry of boxing jabs, before Irish Whipping Strike…who rebounds with a flying forearm smash right into Carter, who stumbles back! Strike quickly gets back onto his feet, and begins to kick Carter in the stomach repeatedly, before stepping back, and hitting a huge enziguri on Carter!

Keith Oswalt: Chris Strike has begun to lead this match with an intense, stiff offense, as apparent by his various kicks and the enziguri.

Eric WitzL I won’t bet against “The Fortunate One, no siree. Strike has to impress me before that happens.

Strike stomps down on Carter, before lifting him up and hitting some painful sound chops on his stomach. He backs Carter up against the ropes, and hits a chop on him, causing Carter to lean against the ropes. Every time Carter rebounds off the ropes, Strike hits him with another ferocious chop to the chest. Strike Irish Whips Carter, but Carter rebounds with a huge Roaring Elbow, sending Strike down! Carter then lays on Strike, and begins to choke him out, as the referee tries to pull him off! The referee finally manages to, but Carter yells at him to “back off.” As Strike tries to get up, Carter kicks him in the face each time, mocking him as he does. As Carter then lifts up Strike, Strike breaks the hold, and hits him with a fierce Rolling Kesagiri Chop! Carter grabs his neck, coughing wildly as he backs up to the ropes. As he does, Parker blindly tags himself in. Carter rebounds off the ropes, being hit with a roundhouse kick from Strike as he does! Parker gets in the ring, but charges into a roundhouse kick of his own! Strike picks up Parker, before pointing at Hart, making the crowd go insane! Strike tags in Hart!

Keith Oswalt: After a momentum-filled string of kicks from Chris Strike, it’s time to see our Valiant Champion at work!

Eric Witz: The Chris’ are running wild, it seems.

Hart gets into the ring, and hits a chop on Parker, who was being held by Strike. Hart continues with the chops, before Irish Whipping Parker, who manages to reverse the move. Parker tries to grab Hart off the rebound, but the Valiant Champion instead hits Parker with a few well placed elbows. Parker backs up, and tries to go for a clothesline, but Hart avoids it and hits Parker with a flapjack! Hart then tries to grab Parker, but the little man uses both his legs to kick Hart away. Hart continues to try and grab the wiggling man, but Parker reaches up and pokes Hart in the eyes! Hart stumbles back, while Parker gets up and begins to assault Hart crazily with a set of hands! Parker Irish Whips Hart…but Hart counters with a Saikyou High Kick! Hart makes the pin…

1…

2…

Kickout by Parker!

Keith Oswalt: First near-fall of the match! You know what’s interesting Eric, two weeks ago Chris Hart and John Parker were tag teammates, not they find themselves on opposite sides of the ring.

Eric Witz:L If we’ve learned anything from Pride over these past few years, it’s that you should never trust anyone…because one might you might face them, and another week you’ll tag with them!

Hart lifts up Parker, and begins to hit more hops on him, backing him up against the ropes, before Irish Whipping him. Parker reverses the move, and it’s a huge dropkick on Hart on the rebound! As Hart tries to get up, Parker runs forward, and hits a Shining Wizard on him! Parker rolls over, and tags in Carter, who gets in the ring. Parker then stomps on Hart as he tries to get up, before slamming his head into a turnbuckle! He begins to grind Hart’s face into it, as the referee yell at him. Carter then begins to hit a series of boxing jabs on Hart’s side, before Hart fires back with a few punches of his own. However, Carter rakes his eyes, before Irish Whipping Hart off the ropes. Carter goes for a clothesline, but Hart ducks it…and Carter goes for another, but Hart ducks it too, before rebounding with a running crossbody for the pin…

Kickout by Carter!

Hart lifts up Carter, and Irish Whips him, but Carter counters, prompting Hart to go for the Sling Blade…but Parker ducks, and Hart goes over the top rope, barely managing to hold on while on the apron. Thinking he’s outside, Carter turns towards Strike and mouths off…but the break only gives Hart the chance to get on the top turnbuckle, and jump off, hitting Carter with a huge unsuspecting bulldog! Hart then tries to lift up Carter, but he gets a thumb to the eye! Hart stumbles back, and Parker gets up, and kicks Hart’s back, before shoving him into a turnbuckle. Carter then tags in Parker, and both men begin to hammer down on Hart. Parker hits an uppercut on Hart, before Irish Whipping him. Parker ducks, hoping to duck a clothesline, but Hart hits him with a kick to the face! Hart then backs up, and charges Parker, who goes for a Superkick! Hart ducks, before grabbing Parker, and hitting him with a Dungeon Driver (Falcon Arrow)! Both men are now down, and begin to crawl towards their respective corners. They both manage to jump up, and tag in Strike and Carter!

Keith OswaltL Looks like this match is up to these two!

Eric Witz: It’ STILL a tag team match-up fool.

Both men get in the ring, and Strike instantly unleashes a set of hands, backing up Carter. Strike backs him up against the ropes, and Irish Whips him, before dropping Carter with an open palm strike! Carter stumbles around, before Strike grabs him and hits him with a Lei Gong Clutch (Cobra Clutch Backbreaker)! Parker runs into the ring, but gets grabbed by Strike and dropped with a Mjöllnir (Spinning Fisherman’s Buster DDT)! As Strike gets up, Carter blindsides him, and grabs him, attempting to hit The Carter Choke Bomb (The CCB), but Strike kicks him in the stomach first, before dropping Carter with an Indra Slam (Capture Suplex STO)! Strike stands up, and goes over towards the top rope, before jumping off, hitting the Vajra (Corkscrew Moonsault into Double Foot Stomp) on Carter! He pins…

Ike Rose: With a time off 12 minutes and 13 seconds, here are your winners…the team of Chris Strike and the Valiant Champion Chris Hart!

Hart hops into the ring, and raises Strike’s hand, as…

Coming in from the final commercial break, Chris Hart is standing in the ring after his victory. What should be a joyous look on his face isn’t present though, instead a fierce scowl as he looks out at the Kingdom of Pride live audience.

Keith Oswalt: Chris Hart is in the ring...let's hear what he has to say.

Chris Hart: I’d love to be able to say that it is an honor to represent each and everyone you as Valiant Champion, but that would be overly clichéd. I’d love to sit here and talk about the struggles, the things I had to endure to climb atop the mountain, but I’m not one to revel in the past. Kingdom of Pride has a bright future and that’s where I’d like to set my gaze.

The crowd cheers Chris, a few shouts of random nonsense coming from certain people, getting acknowledged by Chris with a raised fist.

Chris Hart: Key word however being like. You see at Return of the Kingdom, someone decided to rain on my parade. He couldn’t stand the fact that he lost his shot, as he looked down on me posing with the title he couldn’t help but feel it was his right to be standing atop the turnbuckle with the title. Let me tell you something Christian, in this company there is no rights. You earn everything you get, whether it’s by beating five men in the ring to win the title, whether it’s taking a beating from your grubby hands for these people, you’re judged solely on the merit of your accomplishments, not on who you are or were.

Another roar comes down from the crowd as Chris looks out at them and raps his chest once in a while.

Chris Hart: As long as I am the Kingdom of Pride …

: Woah woah woah woah!

Chris Hart lowers his mic and turns his head to the curtain as Christian Kane steps out into the aisle with a microphone to his lips. Ignoring the crowd's boos, Kane continues.

Christian Kane: Hold on just a minute there, 'champ'! I didn't just rain on your parade last week, I officially CANCELED it!

More boos from the crowd. Rather than enter the ring, Kane stays in the aisle.

Christian Kane: You see Hart, these fans don't want to see someone like you hold their title. They want to see me, Christian Kane! A Kingdom of Pride original holding that title!

CK closes his eyes and looks up, expecting cheers. However to his horror the fans boo him!

Chris Hart: Judging by that reaction, I don't think they do. You see Christian, I understand you're a Kingdom of Pride original, and I respect that to some extent, but this is a new era of the Kingdom of Pride. A new beginning if you will.

Instantly Christian cuts Hart off.

Christian Kane: Well I won't! Not now! Not tomorrow! Not next week! Not next month! Not next year! Not everrrrrr!

This incites even more boos from the crowd, some fans even leaning over the guard rail to hurl abuse at Kane. As they do so Hart begins to pace the ring, growing tired of CK.

Chris Hart: Alright Christian, what do I have to do? What do I have to do, to get you to shut up? Huh?

Christian Kane: You know exactly what I want, you punk. I want a shot at yo-...no wait...my title!

Hart slowly lowers his microphone and looks left and right at the several members of the audience who are almost begging him not to accept Christian's proposal.

Chris Hart: Alright, fine. At Autumn Annihilation it'll be Chris Hart versus Christian Kane for the Valiant Title, but Christian, you really shouldn't get your hopes up. Because at the end of the day, good always defeats evil, and on September 12th there'll be no exception.

Christian Kane: I don't get you, Hart. All you had to do was accept my request and that would have been the end of it. But you just can't help but run your mouth, can you? I didn't want to have to do this, Chris, but you've left me no choice...

Chris Hart: Oh you want me? Come get me!

The crowd cheer for Hart who throws his mic aside and waves for Kane to enter the ring. CK complies and begins to run down the aisle toward the ring, but stops just before it. Hart looks confused, but unbeknownst to him Adam Abel has slid into the ring behind the Valiant Champion with a chair! Christian tells Hart to look around and he does so, only to be met with a sickening chair shot, sending him crumpling to the ground. As Abel stands over Hart, the fallen man attempts to drag himself up using Abel's body, but The Astonishing One pushes Hart back down to the ground.

Keith Oswalt: That damn Adam Abel!

Eric Witz: Well...maybe Hart shouldn't have ran his mouth...

Keith Oswalt: BAH HUMBUG!

Eric Witz: Did you just say 'Bah Humb-

Keith Oswalt: DON'T QUESTION ME!

Kane slides in the ring and both men lay the boots to Hart. CK eventunally drops down to Hart and lifts him up by his hair, almost showing off that Hart is bleeding as blood trickles off the champion's face and onto the canvas. Kane shouts something at his fellow Canadian, then stands and locks Hart in the Canadian Mapleleaf (Haas of Pain)! Hart screams out in pain and tries to reach for the ropes in basic wrestling instinct.

Keith Oswalt: Look at this! It can break a mans back for crying out loud!

Eric Witz: Less judging, more appreciating, what a move!

Hart eventually passes out from the pain, causing Abel to call for the bell, mimicking a referee's actions. CK lets go of the hold and grins, before crawling over and picking up Hart's mic. Kane crawls back to the bloodied champion and gets in his face.

Christian Kane: Let this be a lesson to you, Hart. Don't run your mouth when the odds are against you.

Christian drops the mic to the ground and begins to laugh. Abel on the other hand drives the edge of the chair into the legs of Hart a few times before climbing out of the ring with Christian. They both begin to make their way to the back as we hear Keith Oswalt's voice.

Keith Oswalt: I will surprised if Hart is even able to walk after this...

Eric Witz: And you can join us next week on Oblivion to find out whether our 'champion' is confined to a wheel chair or not!
