The segment opens up outside the arena with fans queueing to get in. An "earlier today" sign flashes across. Alex Avice, respident interviewer, pushes through the fans having clearly spotted someone interesting.
Alex Avice: Ladies and gentlemen I'm pretty sure that...somewhere around here is...yes. There he is.
Avice pushes forward with more conviction and comes face to face with...John Parker!
Alex Avice: John Parker! What are you even doing here? You don't have a match.
JDP: I've come to watch the show and pour some hard earned dolla back into this fed like Jezza wants.
Alex Avice: ...that segment is later on the show.
JDP: Oh. >_> <_<. Better delay the release of this then. Or do a good edit job.
Alex Avice: Then John, why else are you going to be in the stands?
JDP: To watch some classic action, that's why!
The fans cheer, John beams.
JDP: And I've been told if they need anyone they'll let me know. But if I'm already here I'll be able to react quicker!
John looks around at the moving queue.
JDP: Now if you'd excuse me. That Nigel has just pushed in front of me!
As John brushes past Avice and starts to tussle in line with a black fella twice his size we fade out.

The lights go out in the arena as the sounds of Any Means Necessary- Hammerfall erupt out, sending the crowd into a frenzy of boos for the man they "love to hate". A couple of moments later, the lights come back on, and Bruce Hendrickson can be seen at the top of the stage, a sly grin plastered across his face. He looks on taking in the jeers as if they were proudly chanting his name. After a moment on the stage Bruce begins to walk the ramp, that same sly grin still across his face. Bruce stops on the ramp to raise an arm into the air, much to the dismay of the jeering crowd. Bruce chuckles to himself at the crowd's reaction then continues to the ring, rolling in under the bottom rope. In the ring Bruce climbs onto the second rope and raises both arms into the air, enjoying the jeers of the crowd one last time before his music fades out.Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a ten minute time limit. Introducing first, from Anaheim, California, weighing in at 220 pounds, “The Epitome of Epic” Bruce Hendrickson! The lights dim down and the lights strobe yellow and green. The sound of a guitar from "Underdog" by Kasabian is heard and P.K. comes from the back. He stands at the top of stage and holds his arms out turning around and showing the words on the back of his black shirt, on the front their are eyes. The back reads "P.K. Sterling" and underneath are small print words "Jobber in the Making". He turns back around and looks at the camera giving it a wink and continues to walk down the ramp with a nonchalant expression. P.K. slaps the hands of the fans and then heads towards the apron. He leaps on top of it and brushes his hands against his nose. He grabs the ropes and leaps over them and then heads to the left turnbuckle. He puts his right leg on top of the top turnbuckle and looks off at the crowd. He leaps down and takes his shirt off and throws it on the ref's head. He plops down in his corner, sitting on the middle rope as he waits for his opponent.Ike Rose: And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 200 pounds, P.K. Jacob-Sterling! Keith Oswalt: Both of these guys can be jerks, but Sterling is at least humorous; Hendrickson’s just an asshole. Eric Witz: No, Hendrickson is the Epitome of Epic. Sterling just tries to get the crowd to laugh. Keith Oswalt: The crowd can laugh all they want, I just want to see Sterling destroy Hendrickson. Finally, the bell rings and as it does, P.K. Jacob-Sterling and Bruce Hendrickson both charge each other from their own respective corners. Locking up in a basic collar and elbow tie up, Hendrickson takes advantage here and puts Sterling into a wrist lock. Twisting Sterling’s wrist, Hendrickson again twists Sterling’s arm, but as he does this, Sterling grabs one of Hendrickson’s arms and puts Hendrickson into a wrist lock of his own before moving into a hammerlock. Wrenching on the hammerlock, Sterling holds this for a few seconds before finally stepping up and putting Hendrickson in a headlock. Countering Sterling, Hendrickson grabs Sterling’s leg and pulls him down. Stepping on Sterling’s leg, Hendrickson locks Sterling in a kneebar, trying to hyperextend Sterling’s leg. Quickly from here, Hendrickson leaps into a side headlock, but Sterling is able to get back up to his feet and once on his feet, he is able to hit Hendrickson a few times and backs him into the ropes before shooting him off. Running off the ropes, Hendrickson bounces back and hit’s a big shoulder tackle on Sterling and Sterling fall’s to the mat. Hendrickson again runs off the ropes and hops over Sterling, but as he does this and hit’s the ropes again, Sterling finally hops up and whips off a quick hurricanrana on Bruce Hendrickson! Keith Oswalt: Lightning quick chain offense shown by these guys so far! Hendrickson is finally taken to his ground by Sterling after that hurricanrana. Eric Witz: Hendrickson’s showing that he knows how to wrestle just as well as he can talk. After having whipped off the hurricanrana, Sterling is quick to get back on his feet, and quickly turns around to look at Hendrickson who’s getting back to his feet. While on his knees, Sterling charges at Hendrickson and is able to hit a quick enziguri on him, kicking him in the side of the head. Before Bruce can fall back onto the mat however, Sterling pulls his head into him and snaps off a quick snap suplex, slamming Bruce into the mat. Rolling through the suplex, Sterling gets back to his feet and brings Bruce along with him and here he swings out of the front headlock and hit’s a neckbreaker on Bruce Hendrickson. After doing this, Sterling covers Bruce, but Bruce is able to kick out at two. Lifting himself and Bruce back to their feet, Sterling whips Bruce off to the ropes but as he goes to hit a leg lariat on Hendrickson, Hendrickson ducks out of the way and watches as Sterling falls to the mat. Laughing at Sterling, Hendrickson walks towards him, but as he does this, Sterling quickly rolls him up into a small package, 1... 2... Kick out! Keith Oswalt: Sterling nearly caught him there! Eric Witz: Close, but you don’t get anything for being close. Hendrickson just barely gets his shoulder off of the mat. Furious that Sterling nearly embarrassed him, Hendrickson gets back to his feet and delivers a stiff kick to Sterling’s stomach. Lifting him back to his feet after doing this, Hendrickson gets behind Sterling and pulls his arms across each other and from here throws Sterling over his head and goes for an X-Plex, however Sterling flips over and lands on his feet. Bouncing off the ropes now, Sterling runs at Hendrickson who’s on the ground and quickly lifts him up off of the mat in a front facelock and before Hendrickson can react, Sterling nails him with the S.M.G. (Suplex Lift Spinning Facebuster)! After hitting this move, Sterling covers Hendrickson, 1... 2... 3! Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 4 minutes and 32 seconds, P.K. Jacob-Sterling! Keith Oswalt: Sterling did it! Maybe that’ll shut Hendrickson up! Eric Witz: Doubtful. Before Sterling is able to leave the ring, Hendrickson, holding his chest and face, gets back to his feet and goes to a three-point stance while waiting for Sterling to turn around. As soon as Sterling does, Hendrickson explodes out and levels Sterling with a three-point stance lariat! Taking the microphone from Ike Rose after doing this, Hendrickson speaks.Bruce Hendrickson: That’s bullshit! He cheated! Nobody beat’s me like that, nobody embarrasses me! You better get used to lying down like that Sterling, because next week, I’m taking you on again! Next week, I’ll show you that this was just a fluke, no chance you’ll beat me twice in a row! After saying this Hendrickson exit’s the ring holding his chest as the scene fades.

Backstage, Johnny Noble can be seen sitting, the standard “fuck off” look tattooed on his forehead. As he’s sitting, Jeremy Sterling walks by, and notices him.
Jeremy Sterling: Oh, there you are Johnny. I thought you’d be prepping for your match-up.
Johnny Noble: I’m not really concerned about it to be honest. Everyone freaks about matches like they’re a damn plague, but I just take it in strides, especially with Raymond out of the picture.
Jeremy Sterling: I heard about his departure. Shame. You two made a strong pairing.
Noble scoffs, and shrugs nonchalantly.
Johnny Noble: I guess.
Jeremy Sterling: I know you resent comments like, but your brother is proud of your accomplishments this far. You’ve performed better than any of us could have hoped for. Your methods may be a little more…abrasive than we could have hoped for, but still good.
Johnny Noble: Chris Strike got what was coming to him. Justin too. I’m only helping my brother’s little “eliminating talent” policy.
Jeremy Sterling: I suppose so. But be careful tonight. You’ve got tough opponents. No more pushovers.
Johnny Noble: Yeah, alright. A guy that nearly got broken in half in a cage match, another guy that got beaten down after his match, and a whale. You’ll have to forgive me for not shaking in my boots Jeremy.
Jeremy Sterling: We’ll see…
Jeremy begins to walk away, but turns back to Johnny.
Jeremy Sterling: Why does it seem like you fly off the handle anytime someone mentions your brother? What happened between you two?
Johnny Noble: Nothing he cares about. I’ll see you later.
As if on cue, Johnny exits the scene, leaving a puzzled Jeremy Sterling staring onward…

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: The following match-up is a singles match-up scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 234 pounds, and hailing from Sacramento, California…Stephen Callaway!
Keith Oswalt: Stephen Callaway seems to be at a bit of a crossroads right now Eric. After denouncing Kid Flanagan for his comical actions, Callaway lost the Syndicate title match against Kid Flanagan. Now, rumor has it that Kid’s backstage attack came at the hands of Callaway, something Pride management isn’t happy about.
Eric Witz: Innocent until proven guilty, fool. Callaway has an angle, but beating down second-rate champs isn’t it!
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.
Eric Witz: Well, he looks bitter as Hell.
Keith Oswalt: Not surprised. He nearly got killed against Tommy Hargrove, and had the match restarted twice by Kurt Noble!
The bell rings, and both men lock-up immediately. Obscene moves behind Callaway, wrapping his arms around his waist, and begins to slam his forearms against Callaway’s back, causing him to stumbles against the ropes. Obscene tries to Irish Whip Callaway, but he reverses, and hits Obscene with a dropkick off the rebound! Obscene seems alarmed as he stands up, rubbing his nose a bit. Both men lock-up again, and Obscene twists Callaway’s arm. Callaway backs him into a corner, and drives come knees into his stomach, before Irish Whipping Obscene into the corner. He charges Obscene, but the smaller man ducks. Callaway hits the turnbuckle, but reacts quickly, hitting a quick kick against Obscene’s side! Callaway then runs off the ropes, but gets nailed with an enziguri off the run! He stumbles about, and gets nailed with a neckbreaker by Obscene. He pins Callaway…
1…
2…
Kickout by Callaway!
Keith Oswalt: Hard hit by Obscene there. If there’s anything we’ve learned from Obscene over the years, it’s that the angrier he gets, the more people get hurt. He was never shy of getting into the mix with guys like Blade or Pat Doyle.
Eric Witz: Yeah, I’m sure the modern Pride members know who they are. Of course.
Obscene lifts up Callaway, and begins to hit him with some hard hands to the side. Obscene then begins to rub Callaway’s face into the ropes, looking demented as he does it. Callaway fires back with some hands of his own, before grabbing Obscene, and slamming him face first into the ropes! Obscene stumbles back, before being hit with a spear from Callaway! Following the move, Callaway locks in a Texas Cloverleaf on Obscene, who struggles to get out. He crawls towards the ropes, and grabs them, as Callaway lets go. Callaway then pulls him to the middle of the ring, and Obscene tries to kick him away, but Callaway drops an elbow on him. He lifts up Obscene, and Irish Whips him off the ropes, before both men hit a crossbody on the other in midair!
Both men are now down, and slowly get up. They begin to throw groggy punches at one another, each man backing up after taking a shot. After taking a rather hard shot, Obscene runs forward, hits a boot on Callaway! Before Callaway can get up, he’s hit with a shining wizard, before being pinned…
1…
2…
3-Kickout by Callaway!
Eric Witz: So you really think Callaway took out Kid? I mean, he’s such a good soul!
Keith Oswalt: I’m not sure what to believe in this promotion. There’s certainly an amount of cut-throat-ness, as jobs are definitely on the line.
Both men get up, and Obscene goes for a clothesline, but misses, and runs right into a Callaway elbow! Callaway runs towards the ropes, and climbs on the top turnbuckle, before hoping off with a Moonsault…that misses! Obscene rolls out of the way, causing Callaway to crash and burn. Callaway stands up, but gets nailed with an “Obscene Driver I”( Delayed Michinoku Driver)! Obscene pins him…
1…
2…
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 5 minutes and 22 seconds…Obscene!
Keith Oswalt: Obscene with a strong win here. After removing himself from Tommy Hargrove, where does the only remaining Pride original go from here?
Eric Witz: Winning, hopefully.
The scene fades to black as Obscene snarls at Callaway, before exiting.

The camera focuses backstage, where Lucas Young and Steve Martyn are preparing for their match.Lucas Young: Just remember man…we can do it. They’re not that big. They’re not that- Kurt Noble: Keep telling yourself that, Mr. Young. Maybe they’ll shrink. Kurt Noble walks into view, a rather intimidating look on his face.Lucas Young: We’re just warming up for the match. We like to have a binding feeling between us, so we know we’re- Kurt Noble: I’m not really interested in your hippie-bonding methods, Lucas. I’m coming to you both to discuss your jobs, actually. I assume you both heard my message to Pride a few weeks ago? Steve Martyn: Yeah, we did, and I like to think we’re doing pretty well. Kurt Noble: If you were a scarecrow, I might agree. However, here’s the facts: You both have performed in an incredibly mediocre fashion as of late. You, Steve, haven’t won a match yet, and your friend seems to be following in your footsteps. Now, I advise you two to perform well against The Krieg tonight, or you may find yourselves no longer wanted here in Pride. We demand the best gentlemen, and you are quickly shaping up to be the antithesis of that. : That’s a big word K-Nob! JDP walks on-screen.Kurt Noble: Who let you back into the building? JDP: Dunno. All I know is that they weren’t a big purple dinosaur with explosives and catchy dialogue, so I didn’t pay attention to them. Kurt Noble: If I were you, I’d quickly remove myself for the premises. You don’t exactly work here anymore. JDP: I know man, and what’s the dealio with that? You’ve been firing my mates left and right! I’m still smitten that SWC got fired cuz of you! Not happy bro…not happy. Kurt Noble: Who I fire and hire is my own business. But you should know that by now. Keep showing up Mr. Parker, and I’ll make sure you’re forcibly removed from this building by. Now…if you’ll excuse, I actually have a job to do… Noble walks off, as JDP looks at him, before looking at the two men in front of him.JDP: Something wrong with that pill popper…you know, minus the pills. The scene fades to black.

”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 tag team match-up is scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at a combined weight of 730 pounds…accompanied by Kaja Reinhardt…Somba and Balraj, Der Krieg Maschinen! Keith Oswalt: This match was made after The Krieg decimated Lucas Young at Autumn Annihilation one week ago. Low, they have to fight off Lucas Young and Steve Martyn, and if they succeed, both Young and Martyn are out of a job. Eric Witz: Unemployment benefits are pretty good, you know, Maybe they should think this one through… "Arms Wide Open" by Creed surrounds the arena as the crowd erupts into a chorus of cheers. Soon Lucas Young strolls out, as he stops at the top of the ramp he spreads his arms wide as a smile appears on his face, pyro's then explode in front of him, Lucas then starts to walk down to the ring loving the positive response from the crowd and even slapping hands with some members of the crowd, once at the ring Lucas slides under the rope, Lucas then gets to his feet and wanders over to the nearest turnbuckle climbing it before posing to the crowd who react with yet another loud chorus of cheers, once he has finished he jumps down from the turnbuckle and makes his way to the middle of the ring with confidence to get ready for action. Steve Martyn is also present.Ike Rose: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 480 pounds…Lucas Young and Steve Martyn! Keith Oswalt: Word backstage is that Kurt Noble and Jeremy Sterling have been unhappy with these two since their debut. After launching his campaign to eliminate the “dead weight” of the company weeks ago, The Krieg seem to have become a tool for the owners of Pride, and have eliminated handfuls of wrestlers over the past two months! Eric Witz: The Krieg aren’t on anyone’s beck and call…they eliminate these guys because they want to. Don’t forget it. The bell rings, as both Balraj and Young step forward. Without any hesitation, Balraj steps forward, and kicks Young right in the chest! Young goes down, but he doesn’t stay down, as Balraj effortlessly lifts him up, and throws him across the ring. He lands painfully, and gets up, stumbling into the corner. Balraj hits him with a few hard chops, before lifting up Young, and dropping him face first onto the turnbuckle. Young stumbles, before being grabbed by the throat, and slammed with a chokeslam! Using one hand, Balraj drags Young into his corner, and tags in Somba. Somba gets in the ring, and stomps down Young, before lifting him up, and hits him with a flurry of headbutts. Keith Oswalt: Lucas Young is just being obliterated thus far. You have to imagine that this is some sort of message for this team. Eric Witz: It is. “We’re going to kill you” is a pretty accurate message. Somba Irish Whips Young into a corner, before running and hitting a splash on him. He follows it up by grabbing Young, and hitting him with a thumb to the neck. Somba looks as if he’s going to go for a pin, which draws out Martyn…but it’s a trick, as Somba gets up, and slams Martyn with a hard clothesline! He goes down, and Balraj gets into the ring. Both men begin to stomp down on their opponents, who seem helpless to the attack. Both men then lift up Martyn, and take turns throwing shots at him! The referee tries to break it up, but the two men are too powerful. They lift up Martyn, high into the air…and get a running start, before throwing him out of the ring, and onto the announce table, destroying it easily! Keith Oswalt: Good God, what strength! Eric Witz: Stupid Martyn, breaking our nice table! Young gets up, and stumbles around the ring, before being hit with the “Blitzkrieg Bomb” from both men!!! Somba makes an effortless pin… 1… 2… 3! Ike Rose: With a time of 2 minutes and 33 seconds…Der Krieg Maschinen! Keith Oswalt: What a statement. These two men never had a chance here. Eric Witz: That finisher should be re-named the “Pink Slip.” Get it…no? Okay… Moments after, “Dance with the Devil” plays, and out comes Noble himself.Kurt Noble: Well gentlemen…I stay true to my word. Both of your contracts have been terminated by the Kingdom of Pride. Now, if you will… Both Somba and Balraj lift up Lucas Young, and throw him over the top rope, to the floor below! Noble looks quite pleased with himself.Keith Oswalt: I don’t know how I feel about Kurt Noble using The Krieg as the measuring stick for this company. We’ve had a lot of men lose their jobs because of them. Eric Witz: The man demands excellence. Besides, neither of those two men got in a single shot in the entire match. Are they really what we want here? Keith Oswalt: I suppose not…but will this really end well? I hope so… The scene fades out.

Backstage, Obscene can be seen in a dimly-lit corner. He seems to be sulking, despite his recent victory over Stephen Callaway. As Obscene keeps his head down, Alex Avice approaches Obscene wanting to have an interview with him.
Alex Avice: Obscene, you won! Why aren’t you celebrating?
Not acknowledging Avice, Obscene keeps his head down, still sulking.
Alex Avice: Too cool to be seen with me?
Again, Obscene doesn’t respond to Avice.
Alex Avice: You’re such a downer dude. Try living it up sometime.
Obscene: Shut up Alex.
Speaking sternly with a cold voice, Obscene’s eyes finally jump up and look at Alex Avice, showing that he’s not in the mood for the jolly conversation that Avice wants.
Alex Avice: What’s wrong dude?
Obscene: What’s wrong? What’s right!? I just fucking lost to Tommy Hargrove! Hargrove! Out of all the worthless pieces of garbage on the roster, Hargrove defeated me! He proved that he does belong here. Or, perhaps he proved that I just don’t have it anymore. Perhaps he proved that I don’t belong in Pride. Perhaps…
Before Obscene can continue to go on, Alex Avice cuts him off.
Alex Avice: Quit it. You won tonight, and apparently Jeremy Sterling still thinks you have it. Sterling still thinks you belong here.
Obscene: What?
Alex Avice: You’re in the main event next week. You’re taking on Chris Hart, arguably the best in the company.
Expecting some response from Obscene, instead, Avice receives silence from Obscene.
Alex Avice: Aren’t you excited to be main eventing again? You win that match and…
Exploding on Avice, Obscene throws the chair against the wall as he screams.
Obscene: Get the hell out of my fucking face Avice! I’m not dealing with this shit anymore!
Finally, furious, Obscene walks off the screen as the scene fades.

The screen switches backstage, where Josh Eagles is standing next to Alex Avice.
Alex Avice: Evening ladies and gentlemen. My name is Alex Avice, and I’m being joined by one of the top competitors in the Kingdom…Josh Eagles. How’re you doing Josh?
Josh Eagles: I’m pretty roughed up Alex, but I’m hanging in there. That cage match with Adam Abel was intense, and it nearly broke both of us. I feel like shit today, but I know Abel is much, much worse…but that’s behind me now. Onto bigger and better things.
Alex Avice: And what might that pertain to Josh?
Josh Eagles: We both know that from day one, I’ve wanted to the Valiant Champion. It was supposed to be me going up against my buddy Chris Hart, but Abel slowed that down. With Christian Kane in the mix, Chris and I have had each other’s backs over the past month…but now, CK is gone, and there’s no one standing in between the two of us. No one.
Alex Avice: Are you saying your friendship is over here in Pride?
Josh Eagles: We’ll always be friends Alex, but this is about something bigger. Chris and I have always tried to prove who’s better, and now I’ve got the chance to prove it’s really me. There’s no more distractions like there were in PWF or UWC. It’s all me now…so I won’t waste the chance. I’m gunning for the title, and in a matter of time, I’ll be soaring to the top. Pride gets the see the best Josh Eagles has to offer…and that starts tonight. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a match to wrestle in. Good day Alex.
Josh nods, before walking off. The scene fades to the ring…

"Just Like You" by Three Days Grace Blares over the PA system in the arena as Kid Flanagan makes his down to the ring holding a book bag, he gives some fans high fives before he gets into the ring. Finally he gets into the ring, he then starts going through his book bag, he then pulls out an two water pistols. He then yells "BOOM", then he leaps out of the ring and shoots some hot woman wearing an white t-shirt. Kid then yells "BOOBSHOT!". Kid Flanagan then gets back into the ring.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a fatal four way match with a sixty minute time limit! Introducing first, weighing in at 185 pounds, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, he is the Kingdom of Pride Syndicate champion, Kid Flanagan!
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: And his opponent, from Camden, New Jersey, weighing in at 265 pounds, Tommy Hargrove!
“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: Introducing third, from Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 230 pounds, Johnny Noble!
"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 finally, from Oshawa, Ontario, weighing in at 195 pounds, Josh Eagles!
As Ike Rose exit’s the ring, the bell finally rings and Johnny Noble quickly rushes towards Josh Eagles, who seems to be blindsided by the attack as he’s rushed into the corner and Noble begins to repeatedly throw his elbows into Eagles face. Continuing this attack for several shots, Noble is finally taken off by Kid Flanagan who throws a kick to the back of Noble’s thigh. However, this attack doesn’t last long as Noble turns around and elbows Kid who turns around and is then arm dragged by Tommy Hargrove. Putting Flanagan in a deep armbar, Hargrove torques Kid’s arm. As Hargrove continues to wear down Kid’s arm, Eagles finally fires back against Noble by elbowing him in the back of the head.
After the elbow, Eagles pulls Noble’s head back and drops Noble’s back across his knee and after hitting this hit’s a seated lariat on Noble, taking him down to the mat. Going for a quick cover, Noble easily kicks out at one as Eagles pulls him back to his feet and the two go to a collar and elbow tie up. From this lock up, Eagles puts Noble into a side headlock, but Noble pulls Eagles back and throws him off to the ropes. As Eagles runs off the ropes back towards Noble, Noble annihilates Eagles with a huge big boot! However, despite hitting the boot on Eagles, Noble is quickly taken down to the mat by Tommy Hargrove as Hargrove runs to him and snaps off a huge suplex, throwing Noble to the mat. Floating over, Hargrove covers Johnny Noble, but Noble kicks out strong at one.
Keith Oswalt: Tommy Hargrove takes advantage of Johnny Noble who definitely wasn’t expecting to be hit with a suplex after that move.
Eric Witz: You know, using the phrase taking advantage of probably isn’t a good phrase to use, like ever when describing a bunch of guys. I’m just saying.
Keith Oswalt: You know, it’d be wonderful for you to add meaningful commentary every once and a while. I’m just saying.
As Oswalt and Witz continue to bicker, Tommy Hargrove gets back up to his feet, but as he does this, Kid Flanagan hits him with a quick dropkick, driving him towards the ropes. Following up on his attack, Kid Flanagan grabs Hargrove and whips Hargrove across the ring, however as he hits where Noble’s standing, Noble quickly whips off a powerslam, slamming Hargrove into the mat. However, before he can go for a cover on Hargrove, Josh Eagles dives in with a double axe handle and crashes his hands down across Noble’s back. Getting back to his feet, Eagles is given several right hands by Kid Flanagan, however Eagles is finally able to catch Flanagan with a punch of his own. After hitting this punch, Eagles ducks a punch from Kid and goes through his arms and puts Flanagan in a hammerlock. While locking Flanagan in the hammerlock, Eagles flips Kid around before keeping the hammerlock locked in and driving Flanagan down into the mat with a DDT!
After hitting the DDT and sitting up, Johnny Noble delivers a huge, stiff kick to Eagles’s chest, driving the wind out of him as he falls to the mat. Now placing his foot on top of Eagles’s chest, Noble cockily covers Eagles, but Eagles is able to kick out at one. Lifting Eagles back up to his feet, Noble now lifts Eagles into a suplex position and as he holds Eagles up, he grins, but finally Tommy Hargrove dives at Noble’s legs and clips Johnny’s knee, forcing him to fall back, planting Eagles on the top of his shoulders. After having seen this happen, Tommy Hargrove goes for a quick cover on Eagles,

Kick out!
Despite the kick out, Hargrove follows up on Eagles and puts him in a headlock before rolling him over and driving his knees into Eagles’s back and pulling Eagles’s arms up and attempting to make him bridge back while keeping his knees driving into Eagles’s back. Trying to force Josh to tap out, Tommy pulls back further, but finally Kid Flanagan has gotten up and springboards from the ropes and nails a springboard dropkick, catching Tommy right on the point of the jaw! After hitting this move, Flanagan grabs Tommy and throws him to the outside of the ring and runs to the ropes himself before running out and doing a full senton over the top rope and landing on Tommy’s shoulders on the outside of the ring before hitting a spinning hurricanrana on Tommy, throwing Tommy into the steel barricade!
Keith Oswalt: Good lord! Tommy Hargrove may have just been killed!
Eric Witz: Who knew Kid Flanagan could be that athletic!?
Keith Oswalt: He’s not the Syndicate champion for nothing!
Back inside the ring, Johnny Noble shakes his head as he lifts Josh Eagles up off of the mat and puts his head between his legs before destroying Eagles with his finisher, This Shit Hurts (Spinning Spike Piledriver)! After driving Eagles’s head into mat, Johnny quickly flips Eagles over and covers him,

3! Kid Flanagan dives back into the ring, but is a split second too late as Johnny Noble is declared the winner!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 13 minutes and 2 seconds, Johnny Noble!
Keith Oswalt: Johnny Noble sneaks in a win!
Eric Witz: Sneaks? He dominately pinned Eagles! He didn’t sneak in anything!
Keith Oswalt: Are you kidding me, Kid…
Before Keith Oswalt can finish his sentence, the entire power in the arena cuts out for several seconds. After seconds of pitch black and the crowd screaming, seeming to be legitimately scared of the power outage, but once the power finally returns, Kid Flanagan can be seen bleeding profusely in the center of the ring as Johnny Noble stands on the outside of the ring, grinning.
Keith Oswalt: What the hell? Did Johnny Noble do this!?
Eric Witz: I have no idea! I couldn’t see anything!
Keith Oswalt: Kid’s definitely on somebody’s bad side, that’s for sure. Anyways, that’s it for Oblivion this week, join us again next week.
As Oblivion goes off the air, Keith Oswalt’s voice can be heard saying “Somebody go help Kid!”
