He heads up the steps and pauses at the top and momentarily works the crowd.

He jumps onto the apron and walks around the ring post to the hardcam side and then bounces his back off the ropes twice while facing the crowd and raises his arms once more!

Backstage, quick!
Billy: Ladies and gentlemen, right now we have Jade Riley standing in the back and I understand she’s standing with a former Hardcore Champion and the self-proclaimed future United States Champion!Chris Avery: That’s right! At Gold Rush he gave everything he had but still wasn’t able to secure the win. Tonight he teams with James Freedom. Two men who have little to nothing in common…other than the fact that neither man was involved in the pin at Gold Rush. So at least there’s that.Billy: Jade! Take it away!The scene cuts to the back where we see Jade Riley standing between Jonny Cedrone and Gloria. The fans in attendance give a big pop. Jonny sports a big grin and seemingly shyly looks at the floor as Jade introduces him. Jade: Thank you Billy! Ladies and gentlemen, I’m standing here with a former Champion in Action Wrestling who’s looking to add to his resume! Jonny, you haven’t seen a lot of success lately and yet the fans are still behind you. How does that make you feel?Jonny raises his head and looks at Jade as if to say, “How could you ask that question?” Cedrone: How does it make me feel? How does it make me feel?! Jade, it makes me feel like I’m on top of the world! No matter what happens out there, no matter how many times I get my shoulders counted down, the fans are still there! The fans still support me! Do you know why that is Jade? Because of my passion. Because of my never-say-die attitude. Because no matter what happens to me the week before, the next week I go out there and I give it 110% all over again! I don’t show up and act all doom and gloom and half-ass it in the ring. Oh no, no, no! I don’t half-ass anything!!Jonny turns his attention to the camera Cedrone: No, I go out there week after week, loss after loss, and I give it everything I have! The way I look at it, if the fans work hard day after day and they spend their hard-earned money to pay to watch a wrestling show then dammit, I’m gonna give them the best show they’ve ever seen! Win, lose or draw!The fans give a big pop as Jonny turns his attention back to Jade Jade: Tonight you find yourself in a unique position. You’re in a tag team match against Henry Lancaster and Jessie Lee…and your tag team partner? James Freedom.A loud chorus of boos from the fans Cedrone: That kinda leaves me the odd man out doesn’t it? I’m gonna get to my partner in just a minute. But first let me address our opponents.Jonny looks back up into the camera Cedrone: I have a little bit of a history with both of these competitors. I know firsthand just how hard they work, how competitive they are and how good they are in the ring! Both competitors are tough! So while I know that this fight isn’t going to be a cakewalk, I also know what I have inside. I also know how tough I am. I also know how hungry I am. I also know just how pissed off I am at both of them!
Henry Lancaster Escargot, you got the best of me a few weeks ago. I’ll give you that. You’re good. You’re damn good. But you better be even better than that tonight because the Jonny Cedrone you faced the last time is not the same Jonny Cedrone you’re facing tonight! The same thing goes for Jessie Lee!
Jessie, yeah you and I have our history. You’ve had my number so many times in the past. That’s fine. There’s always that first for everything and tonight? Tonight’s gonna be that first! Tonight’s the night where I make you eat a pin…two weeks in a row! Tonight I get THAT monkey off my back! And after tonight, I get all of the monkeys off my back because I’m determined to get what I want and I want that United States Championship around my waist!The fans pop once again Jade Riley: But tonight, it’s not just you against the two of them. Tonight you have a tag team partner in James Freedom. What are your thoughts about him?Cedrone: Unpopular opinion, but I think he’s damn good in the ring. The condescending attitude? Not a fan of that, but his skills in the ring I can respect! Will the two of us get along? I think we have a much better chance of getting along than our opponents, sure. But in the end, after everything’s said and done…In mid-sentence you can see Gloria’s eyes get as big as saucers then instantaneously there’s a hard, thunderous slap on Jonny’s back. Pissed off, Jonny clinches his fist, turns and was about to knockout whoever it was that made that mistake but pulls it back after seeing who it is. The camera pans out to reveal James Freedom, much to the chagrin of the fans. James Freedom: There's my American tag team partner for tonight. Sorry to break up your meeting with the press but I've been looking all over to talk strategy about how tonight's tag match should go.Jonny looks annoyed at Freedom as he removes Freedoms hand off his shoulder. Cedrone: Yeah let's talk, but turn it down a bit will ya.James Freedom: With a sense of humor like that I can't see why anyone wouldn't like you but down to business and Jade give us some gentleman some privacy.Freedom shushes Jade away. James Freedom: Now for the better good of this team and more importantly America I'm going to forgive you for getting in my way of the United States Championship and lead us to victory tonight. So just be a good Vice President tonight and follow my lead.Freedom winks at Cedrone with a charming smiling on his face and looks for a handshake from Cedrone but Cedrone just looks at Freedoms hand with a smirk on his face. Cedrone: I'm afraid I'm gonna pass on that little handshake Jimbo. Ya know...COVID and all...but let me tell ya this, if you want to win tonight, you can forget about the whole "follow the leader" game you want me to play because it's not happening. We're going to go into this as a team and we're going to win this as a team. But afterwards? We are no team. You're just another victim in my way to the US Championship. Capiche?Freedom laughs it off and then claps his hand together. James Freedom: That's what I like about you Cedrone, you might lack patriotism but you've got that American fighting spirit in your blood and that's what's going to make you a worthy competitor to compete with and against. Now let's save that attitude for Lee and Henry, and then we’ll see who gets that shot at the United States Championship.Gloria and Jade stand in the background in dismay of what just happened. Freedom puts his arm around Jonny’s shoulders while walking off camera. Jonny looks down at Freedom’s hand in disbelief and disgust as the scene fades to black.

Ellie Austin vs. Niobe Martin
As the opening of "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play over the arena, a video flashes on the big screen of a camera shot panning up a grassy hill at night, slowly until it gets to the top. Panning from left to right, lighting flashing in the sky as the opening guitar riff begins to sound. Adilene Floyd: "Introducing to the ring from Anaheim, California, weighing in at one hundred twenty five pounds and standing five feet, seven inches tall! She is the "Living Nightmare", NIOBE MMAARRTTIINN!!!"The video on the screen then switches to a video package of Niobe in the ring, flashing and moving in time with the drum beat. "Nightmare! Now your nightmare comes to life.." Niobe comes running out from behind the curtain, stopping at the top of the ramp briefly to extend her arms out to the sides as a blast of pyro goes off on either side of her. "Dragged you down below... Down to the devils show... To be his guest forever... Peace of mind is less than never.." As the lyrics of the song continue to play, she drops her arms and walks down the ramp, a smirk on her face as she sneers at the crowd as she passes before sliding under the bottom rope of the ring. She stands up and throws off the hood of her jacket, glaring at the crowd with a smirk on her face. "No Money" by Galantis begins to play over the speaker and a purple hue goes over the crowd. Some in the crowd begin to move with the beat of the music as Ellie Austin walks out onto the stage. She stops at the top of the stage before starting to bop up and down, motioning for the crowd to stand up. The crowd begins to cheer as Ellie smiles at them before running down the ramp. As she gets to the bottom she lunges forward and does a cartwheeling flip which pushes her into doing an aerial. She lands on both feet right by the ring and the crowd erupts. Ellie slides into the ring and waves to the crowd before going up on the turnbuckle and saluting the crowd with a huge smile. DING DING DING!!! Ellie and Niobe’s eyes are locked as they circle each other. Ellie goes for a chop but Niobe blocks it and delivers a chop of her own as Ellie squints in pain. Niobe hits Ellie with a right, left, right hands before a kick to the gut and Ellie doubles over. Niobe delivers a fury of forearms to the back and Ellie collapses to the mat. Niobe goes for a camel clutch but Ellie fights her off and is able to get to her feet and hits the ropes, springboarding off..right into a discus back elbow! Niobe looks for the cover. 1… Kickout! Niobe grabs Ellie and pulls her up to her feet. Niobe goes for a suplex but Ellie blocks it and counters with a snap suplex! Niobe is on the ground holding onto her back. Ellie runs and hits the ropes and connects with a leg drop! She runs to the opposite ropes and hits another leg drop! Ellie has the crowd up on their feet as she goes for a third leg drop, but Niobe moves out of the way. Ellie grabs her rear in pain as she gets back up to her feet, only to be met with a flying clothesline by Niobe! Martin gets up onto the top turnbuckle and flies into the air looking for a corkscrew moonsault. She its it and hooks a leg… 1… 2… Kickout! Niobe goes for the turnbuckle once again but is knocked down with a sweep kick from Ellie. Ellie hits the ropes and asa Niobe gets to her knees Austin hits her with a meteora. Niobe gets up to her feet, holding her face. She catches Ellie in a wheelbarrow position and Ellie hits Niobe with a bulldog! Austin exits out onto the apron and faces the ring. She taunts to the crowd to get up and she launches herself onto the top rope, springboarding off into a frog splash! She covers Niobe… 1… 2… Kickout! Ellie hits the ropes looking for a shining wizard but Niobe gets to her feet before hand and hits Ellie with a spinning spinebuster! Niobe quickly flips Ellie onto her stomach and locks in a camel clutch. She wrenches on the neck, yelling for Ellie to give up. Ellie screams in pain as the crowd begins to get behind her, trying to will her out of the hold. This makes Niobe angry and she just sits deeper into the hold, putting an incredible amount of pressure on Ellie’s body. Finally, Ellie is able to pry Niobe’s hands open from their grip, releasing her from the hold. Ellie holds her back in agony. Niobe picks her up and drops her with a back body drop. Niobe goes to the corner looking for a split legged moonsault and hits it! She covers… 1… 2… NO!! Ellie gets her shoulder up at the last possible second! Niobe signals for the end and picks her up. Niobe goes for a gory neckbraker to end the match but is met with a kick to the gut and Austin grabs her for an exploder suplex and hits it! Ellie then hits the ropes and catches Niobe with a shining wizard! Ellie goes for the cover… ONE! TWO!! THREE! Billy: ITS OVER!! WHAT A WIN!!Chris Avery: AN AWESOME WIN FOR AUSTIN!The crowd pops as she gets up to her feet! Billy: What a match! What a win! Ellie is moving up here in AW!Chris Avery: Take nothing away from Niobe, she's a solid consistent fighter and I love watching her wrestle here on Clash! We take a commercial.

Lets Make Wrestling Great Again
General Manager Pasternak walks down the halls of the arena as he make this way to his office, upon arrival he finds a surprise guest waiting for him in his office as everyone's favorite American hero James Freedom sits on his desk with a charming smirk on his face. Pasternak looks at home with confusion as he makes his way further in and then walks up to Freedom but before he can get a word out, Freedom has started. James Freedom: Mr.Pasternak No need for the introductions. I'm sure you know exactly who I am and I know exactly who you are and what power you possess in this company and that's why I'm here.Pasternak bod this head as he shakes Freedom's hand. Pasternak: Well I would have appreciated a heads up but I got some time before other duties, what can I do for you Mr.Freedom?Freedom jumps off the desk with excitement and claps his hands together and then he pulls a chair for Pasternak to sit down and then sits back on the desk. James Freedom: Ok picture this next week on Monday Night Clash we have the degenerate Brandon Leno vs Alice Gemini for the prestigious United States Championship. Bow I know what you are thinking, Pasternak, this match needs something a little extra to make it feel like a 4th of July night in the USA!!! Pasternak: That's one way of putting it.Freedom reaches down to the floor and pulls out an Action Wrestling referee white but instead of the traditional color it's USA-styled and Freedom holds it up in front of it and then points to the shirt then himself. James Freedom: I know, this design should be the permanent uniform for all pro wrestling referees but that's a campaign for another time because right now sir all I need for you is to give the ok for The President of Pro Wrestling to be named the special guest referee for next week's United States Championship Match, and I promise like every good politician I'll call it right down the middle. So what do you say pal?James holds his hand out looking for a handshake from Pasternak as be sits their with that charming smile still on his face but Pasternak doesn't shake instead he sits up and shakes his head. Pasternak: I'm sorry Freedom but I can't do that to Gemini and Brandon. I want this to be a clean match with no antics but thanks for the pitch and good luck in your match tonight.Pasternak gives him a pat on his shoulder and then leaves the office. Freedom stands there with the shirt in his hand and with a disappointed look but then Director of Operations Danny Powers walks in with a smirk on his face and introduces himself. Danny Powers: James Freedom it is a pleasure to meet you and I've been a fan of yours since your debut and I'm happy to have such a true-blooded American around here that fights for the rights of every man and woman.James nods his head pleasantly. James Freedom: Well thank you Powers, always happy to meet a supporter but I do wish Pasternak was more supportive of my cause.Danny Powers: Oh don't worry about him he's always got a stick up his ass but I am someone that can help your campaign because I am Director of Operations of Action Wrestling and I have a little power over Pasternak and since like I said I'm a fan of yours I'm going to overrule him and grant your request. So next week on Monday night Clash it will be Brandon Leno vs Alice Gemini for the United States Championship with you sir as the Special guest referee.James Freedoms' charming smile returns to his face and gives him a grateful handshake. James Freedom: God bless you Powers, you've helped America get one step closer to being great again.Freedom gives Powers a wink as he walks off and the scene fades out and back to the action.

Brandon Leno #1 Contender to the US Title Speaks!
Jade sits with Brandon Leno in his locker room. He’s in tattered jeans and a peace necklace around his neck. Jade Riley: I’m here with the number 1 contender for Alice Gemini’s United States title, Brandon Leno. Brandon, how are you feeling after last week’s win against Jessie Lee, James Freedom and Jonny Cedrone? Brandon Leno: Well Jade, I’m feelin pretty damn groovy right now you know. I mean, I shut up TFK and beat his man James Freedom, as well as the other two with a sweet Mushiesault man! I did exactly what I said I would do. I got the dub, looked good doing it and I kept the title away from that greasy slimeball James Freedom. American hero my fuckin ass. I got what I wanted, and that's a rematch with Alice. I wanted another shot at her and I got it next week, and it's for the strap baby. So, I gotta say, it's a damn good feeling for Mr. Psychedelic man!Jade Riley: It was reported that you showed up late to the arena that night. Is that true and why were you late?Leno’s smile fades and his eyes narrow. Brandon Leno: What are you doing Jade? I told you off camera to leave it alone. I’m warning you..leave it alone. Jade Riley: Did you get reprimanded by GM Pasternak?Brandon Leno: No comment…I’ll say this. Alice better be ready next week, because the Brandon Leno she beat a couple weeks ago, ain’t the same homeboy she’s going to see next week…I’m out…

Adilene Floyd: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL, and it is for the AW Hardcore Championship! Air Raid Sirens begin their screams of warning as we are plunged into darkness. A red spotlight cuts through the dark and lights up the curtain to the back. Suddenly Holden explodes through it, striding across the stage. Adeline Floyd: And now making his way to the ring; he stands six feet, five inches tall and weighs in at three hundred and seven pounds! He hails from San Luis Obispo, California by way of Vero Beach, Florida. He is the “Bastard,” HOLDEN ROSS!! Red floodlights illuminate the arena as Holden strides down the ramp. He stops at the ring and without much hesitation, leaps onto the apron in a single bound. He slips in between the ropes and stops in the middle of the ring, facing the hard camera side. Using his left hand, he removes his mask and roars while thrusting his right fist into the air. Chris Avery: Very few in AW history have the disturbed, violent history of the one simply known as "The Bastard", in his year plus here, he's really shown he has a truly sick mind.Billy: I heard that he eats babies or something, I dunno, I really didn't wanna look too much into that.Adilene Floyd: And his opponent... weighing in at 217 lbs... Chicago's very own... The Purveyor of Anarchy... the AW HARDCORE CHAMPION... DOWNFALL!!! There's a pregnant pause in the air before the lights in the arena shut down, one by one, with an audible CHOOM as each section goes dark. The crowd sits in unsteady, uncomfortable silence there, in the dark, for a full thirty seconds, before a blazing neon-red Anarchy symbol appears on the tron, which then transitions into the symbol becoming the A in Downfall's name. Then, as the jumbotron begins playing images of shots of Downfall hitting various kicks and signature moves that flicker with strobelight-jerkiness, a synthesizer track and rising, discordant wailing begins, before Trent Reznor's distinct voice comes in, launching into the intro to "The Becoming". "I beat my machine It's a part of me, it's inside of me... I'm stuck in this dream, It's changing me, I am becoming... The me that you know, he had some second thoughts He's covered with scabs, He is broken and sore, The me that you know, he doesn't come around much That part of me... Isn't here anymore..." As the music reaches a cacophonous high point in "The Becoming", Downfall's head is bowed, and he kneels one knee on the stage, tracing the fingers of his right hand across the ramp, then he slowly raises his head to look at the ring. In his left hand, he is carrying a long, curved, black iron crowbar... and, dangling from his right hand, is the AW Hardcore championship belt. As Downfall stands, he looks at the crowbar, and then lifts the Hardcore title belt up to eye level with a smirk. The arena lights brighten, and then, he begins his walk down to the ring, holding his arms out to take in the reaction of the crowd. The crowd, some put off by his newer, more aggressive demeanor and the presence of the crowbar in his hand, boo, but there are still some, hoping for him to listen to his better angels, that cheer. He cracks his neck to the side in an aggressive manner and defiantly raising the crowbar, clenched tightly in one fist. Then, he goes around to the ring, pacing over to climb on the apron, and he takes just a moment to breathe it in as he rests a leg on the ropes themselves, before pacing to the turnbuckles and ascending, quickly, to the second rope, crossing his wrists in an X. He hops down, shrugging out of his tattered leathers, and laying the crowbar down in the corner, circles the ring like a shark, tensely pulling on the top rope to stretch. Billy: Jfc, longest entrance, right?Chris Avery: So now we're seeing a true clash between two very distinct, and very different stlyes of hardcore wrestling. Brutality vs bloodsport. Butchery versus methodical. Ultraviolence versus Anarchy.The bell rings, and Downfall rockets across the ring, meeting Holden and lighting him up with a harsh elbow shot that makes Holden blink. Two more right hands connect with Holden's face. However one last punch makes Holden's head snap to the side, and Holden's head turns, slowly back to front facing, with a deepening glower that spells out how much trouble Downfall is in; He grips Downfall by the temples and smashes him with a headbutt. Downfall immediately goes limp in Holden's clutches, seeing stars. Chris Avery: Good lord, we know Downfall is a world-class striker, but Ross just ate those shots in the beginning and tattooed the champ with a headbutt!Holden takes the dazed Downfall into his arms and whips Downfall into the corner and then he comes charging in, colliding with Downfall in an avalanche that envelops the smaller man. When Holden pulls back just enough Downfall limply falls down. Holden, not finished, begins stomping Downfall relentlessly in the corner. All the referee can do is watch the aggravated assault. Finally, Holden finishes stomping, and he lifts Downfall up to his feet and Biel tosses him clear to the other side of the ring. Downfall arches his back in pain at the hard landing. Ross holds his arms up and roars like the brute he is, flexing his muscles. Downfall rolls over onto his side, wiping his face and nodding a little bit. Holden lifts Downfall up from behind, going for a full nelson submission, but Downfall is fighting it off by flexing his arms and chest, keeping Holden from locking his hands. Downfall elbows his way clear of the hold and turns around, unloading on Holden with a flurry of right hands. Downfall drops Ross with a clothesline. Ross gets back up and Downfall continues unleashing a flurry of big right hands on Holden Ross. He looks to irish whip the Bastard into the ropes but Ross reverses it, and as Downfall comes running off the ropes Ross catches him with a huge powerslam. Ross picks up Downfall and nails a huge knee to his stomach before irish whipping him into the opposite turnbuckle. Ross looks to follow it up with a clothesline but Downfall moves out of the way and Ross goes crashing into the turnbuckle. Ross is clutching his chest in pain as he rests by the ropes where Downfall follows up with a big clothesline taking Ross all the way to the outside. Climbing to the outside after Ross, an angry Downfall grabs his arm and whips him hard into the steel steps. Downfall follows it up by running in and delivering a big boot to the seated Ross's face, smashing it into the steps. Downfall hits with a loud crash, and when he pulls his leg free, Ross flops out with him, falling to the padding, and looks to be out cold. Downfall is relentless, staying on the attack, and he lays some blistering straight punches to the back of the head, before pulling Holden up by the hair. Ross fights back with a vicious rake to the eyes. Downfall groans and drops down, and Ross rests, trying to blink some feeling back into his head, and he reaches for and finds a kendo stick. As he does so, Downfall slides his hand under the apron and seems to grip something. Ross comes back over to Downfall, holding a kendo stick in his hand, and he goes to lift Downfall up, but as he pulls Downfall up, Downfall brings out what he had in his hands under the apron, a fire extinguisher. Downfall sprays Ross in the face with a cloud from the fire extinguisher. Ross shouts in pain and stumbles back, holding his face. Billy: I've never understood why the fire marshall is cool with us using those in these matches. I just hope this building is still safety compliant.Downfall paces around outside for a moment more, then he hunts around under the apron as Holden, trying desperately to escape him, enters the ring. Downfall pulls out a large steel trashcan, and throws it into the ring, then Downfall climbs in after it. Downfall then motions for Ross to get up, and he places the trash can over Ross' head and torso, blinding the big man. Ross is on his knees with the trash can over his head in a daze. Downfall then comes in with a bicycle kick to the kneeling opponent, leaving his feet and sending all of his foot connecting solidly with the trash can and Ross. The impact is like a car wreck and it propels Ross backwards. Downfall pulls the dented trash can off him, and covers. The referee: One... Two... Kickout. Downfall pulls off Holden, and something seems to come over him. He gets to his feet, and, with a sickening amount of force... he stomps RIGHT on Holden's hand and wrist. Holden yells in pain. Downfall begins walking around Holden in a Garvin stomp, working with wince-inducing accuracy and force to stomp right on the parts of Holden's joints that bend in ways knees and ankles shouldn't, eliciting more squeals of pain... the crowd at ringside are drawing in bated breath at Downfall's increasing levels of sadism. Downfall, satisfied with the amount of stomps he's laid on Holden but not on the level of damage, drops down onto his side, and he grabs Holden in a wristlock and manipulates the wrist... and then, with a jerk, he takes two of Holden's fingers and SNAPS them in a wishbone maneuver, the SNICK of which can be heard at ringside... Those fans draw back, in an "OOOOH" of sympathy... Downfall, not finished, kicks Holden between the shoulder blades to make him arch his back. Then, this completed, he winds Holden's right arm around his kneeling shin in a keylock and sits back, as he manipulated the left arm to pull Holden onto his side, and hold the arm straight up like a flagpole... Then, with a mighty jerk, Downfall falls backward, savagely snapping the arm of Holden in a direction it is very pointedly not supposed to go (think Pentagon Jr.'s armbreaker) Chris Avery: JESUS CHRIST?!!Billy: Did he - I think he just - Ohhhhh fuck I'm gonna ... be sick...This makes the crowd DEFINITELY uncomfortable. Holden Ross is now rolling around in circles, cradling his arm against his chest, and screaming in pain. Downfall just sits up, hand resting casually on his knee, but he's staring coldly at Ross like he's drinking in Holden's anguished screams. Chris Avery: That arm could be dislocated or broken, but the referee isn't stopping the match!Billy: I mean, technically, he's got a lot of leeway, but SHEESH... We think of hardcore matches being how things started out, with trash cans and cookie sheets... But Downfall is using the lack of rules to a really uncomfortable level here...Downfall lays in a stomp right on the now distressed and red-lined wrist of Holden, and grips the top rope as he begins grinding his heel against the shattered bone, pushing down with all of his might, and the referee tries to intervene and pull Downfall off. Downfall pushes past the referee, goes to grab his crowbar, and holds the crowbar in both hands, with a laser-focused, intent look, and Holden is starting to sit up, holding his injured wrist against his chest... Downfall comes in with the crowbar and slams it as hard as he can into the wounded arm of Holden, making Holden scream in pain and drop to one knee. Downfall kicks Holden down onto his stomach, and grips his hair and begins very furiously slamming Holden's head, over and over again into the mat, beating Holden into submission... Then Downfall takes the wrist and arm he'd just been targeting and wraps them in position around his leg. Holden's eyes bug out of his head as his possibly broken arm is wrenched into place, but he's on his stomach and no way to fight out of it as Downfall feeds the crowbar around his front and places the metal bar in Holden's mouth while he holds the broken arm around his shin. Downfall pulls back on the crowbar in Holden's mouth with all of his might, and Holden screams in anguish at the dual sources of blinding agony. Chris Avery: AND NOW THE BAD WOLF!! DOWNFALL IS LOCKING HOLDEN IN TO THE BAD WOLF WITH THE CROWBAR IN HIS MOUTH!!Holden can't take this much concentrated pain rippling through his body, as Downfall is pulling back on both ends of the crowbar in his mouth with all of his might. Holden yells in pain and taps out with his free hand. Ding ding ding Adilene Floyd: Here is your winner... and STILL AW HARDCORE CHAMPION..... DOWNFALL!!! "The Becoming" begins playing over the PA, and Downfall sits up. Holden Ross is released from the hold, but Downfall still has the crowbar in his hands. The referee tries to hand Downfall his Hardcore title belt, but Downfall, staring daggers at Holden, doesn't pay it any mind... Instead, almost as if Holden Ross' very existence is an insult to him, he snarls at Holden and begins hitting him again and again between the shoulder blades with the crowbar! Chris Avery: Oh what the hell! The match is over!!Downfall gets to his feet, angrily, and tears his shirt off, throwing it to the crowd. Completely uninhibited and unleashed, he takes the crowbar and smashes it down right onto Holden's wrist. Holden screams and rolls over onto his back. Downfall twists the metal in both hands, before he turns it around, pointed side down, and he sinks down to his knees, and grabs Holden in a headlock, and begins stabbing the hooks of the crowbar into Holden's forehead, again and again. The referees on the outside are pleading with Downfall to stop! Chris Avery: Downfall isn't satisfied with potentially giving Holden an injury that will put him on the shelf, he's unleashing his every worst impulse out here tonight.Billy: This man is just out here digging deeper and deeper into his dark side with every week.Downfall rises up to his feet and gives Holden a harsh boot to the face, then, and drags him over to the corner. Downfall picks him up and turns him upside down. He deposits Holden in a tree of woe position, so that Holden is hanging upside down by his feet from the turnbuckle, blood raining down from the wounds. Taking the crowbar in hand Downfall exits the ring and goes around the side until he gets to the corner ringpost behind the hanging Holden, who struggles limply and tries to free himself, as referees are now coming in to get him out of the tree of woe. But Downfall, from the floor, is at a level right behind Holden's upside down head, neck and throat... and Downfall sticks his arm with the crowbar under the bottom rope, feeds it around the front of the turnbuckle and places it against Holden Ross' throat, exactly the way he did to Corey Black two months ago! Downfall takes both ends of the crowbar in his hands, and puts one foot against the apron, pushing with his foot to exert force and pulls it TAUT against the hanging Holden's throat, choking him out violently and also prompting the bleeding wounds on his head to spurt rivers of blood onto the mat!! Chris Avery: DOWNFALL IS CHOKING HOLDEN LIFELESS! SOMEONE HAS TO COME PUT A STOP ON THIS! FOR GOD SAKE!!Suddenly... the crowd buzzes... because someone is running down the ramp at top speed. Spotlights train on the figure running down the ramp, and he dashes around the side of the ring in record time. Billy: IT'S DIONYSUS!!Chris Avery: DION HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN WEEKS! DIONYSUS MAKES HIS RETURN JUST IN TIME FOR THIS!Dionysus grabs Downfall's shoulder forceably, shoving him... and with that, Downfall turns to him, taking a hand off the crowbar, and letting it go limp... And Holden Ross, bloodied and beaten half to a pulp, gasps for air. Dionysus: ENOUGH!! Downfall looks at Dionysus like he's got two heads, and shakes his head angrily, still holding the crowbar. Downfall: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, DION, WALK AWAY. Downfall starts to turn back to Holden Ross. Several referees are in the ring now, trying to get Holden untangled from the top rope and set him right side up, and Holden is gingerly cradling his arm, a bloody mess. Downfall brandishes the crowbar at the refs. Dionysus, outraged at Downfall's barbaric attitude, shoves him again. Dionysus: DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME? ENOUGH, HE'S FINISHED! Downfall starts to look like he might swing on Dion here for a moment... Dionysus stands in front of Downfall, blocking him from moving towards Holden Ross in the ring again. Downfall steps forward, but Dion stands there, an unmoving barrier, and the two go chest to chest. Downfall has an almost frenzied look of bloodlust, and he can be seen to be shouting for Dion to get out of the way. The crowd is chanting "NO NO NO NO". Chris Avery: A super intense standoff here... we're just lucky Dionysus returned tonight, because we really have no idea how far Downfall was preparing himself to go.Downfall looks from the ring, where refs are helping Holden down to the mat... Holden is in tons of pain, bloody from multiple hematomas on his head that are starting to swell, and holding his wrist as if it is indeed broken... But Downfall sees Dionysus standing in his way. Chris Avery: After everything the Vanguard meant to both of these men. Seeing them standing here this tense... it's a lot.Downfall shakes his head at Dionysus. He starts to say something. Dionysus folds his arms and looks at him sternly. And then, Downfall angrily snatching up the Hardcore title as he walks around the ring, and starts to walk up the ramp, Hardcore title belt in one hand, bloody, dripping crowbar with the other. The crowd boos intensely. Chris Avery: This is a really intense situation, and we're going to have medical evaluate Holden... we can only pray for the best.Dionysus stands by as the referees come bringing a stretcher down for Holden Ross, but Dionysus stands, watching Downfall exit up the ramp.

Injured.
Billy: Welcome back to Clash guys..We see Holden Ross put on a stretcher from the ring apron. The crowd is buzzing as the officials are also seen rolling up the super bloody canvas and mopping up the blood on the outside. Chris Avery: Holden Ross is in bad.. bad shape here.Holden isn't moving on the stretcher as the officials and medical team start to push Holden up the ramp as the crowd buzzes. Billy: Holden Ross going to the nearest medical facility and he's going to get the help he truly needs!They go through the curtain to the back when a new camera catches up with them as Holden is still being pushed on the stretcher and it reaches into the loading dock. The ambulance doors open up and Scala comes rushing up! Billy: What the hell?!Scala moves the medical team out of the way and kicks a security guard down.. Chris Avery: What does he have in his hands?!Scala starts pouring gasoline all over Holden! Billy: OH MY GOD!! STOP THAT!! STOP SCALA FROM DOING THAT?!Scala laughs as he pulls out a lighter..

The Violent Fallout..
The scene cuts backstage to show Downfall, pacing back and forth in a back hallway used by the production team. The low lighting and piles of sound stage boxes on either side of him give the appearance of a dragon emerging from deep within a cave, belching fire; And, indeed, as Downfall walks through the hallway, chest heaving, still stripped to the waist and carrying only his Hardcore championship belt in one hand, and a crowbar, dripping with Holden Ross' blood. He sees the camera in his face, stopping short, and has a piqued reaction to someone interrupting his pacing. Far from a composed, formal promo with an interviewer asking him questions, the cameraman coming up to him in this unhinged state lends the entire opening seconds a dangerous, candid energy. Cameraman: Yo, Downfall... what happened out there with Holden Ross?Downfall squints his eyes, almost in mocking disbelief, but that fire is running down his throat. Downfall: What happened? Did you not see the same end result that awaited Corey Black repeat itself out there? Did you not see the shocked, pulling back from the faint-hearted in the front row? Did you think I was just bullshitting it when I said DOWNFALL IS GOING TO KILL YOU? No they -He slashes the air, dismissively, with the end of his crowbar. Downfall: They can get that trash out of my ring. And while they're still trying to mop Holden Ross' blood out of my ring, I want everyyyyone in this locker room to go out to gorilla, just... flip the curtain back a lil'. Peek down that ramp and look at it. Look at the blood I squeezed from the stone that is his head. LOOK AT IT.His intensity second to none, his sudden raising of voice making the camera shake a little. Downfall: Because it's time we set a little something straight here about the Hardcore division. This division is not for pretenders. This division is not for wannabes. This division is not for fucking henchmen like Holden Ross. And, from this moment forth, this division isn't going to be for gold seekers or people just trying to look for a direction. This shit ain't gonna like Alister McKissick, "Hmm one day this could be a Hardcore championship match, or a TV, CBS, another shot for the US,"... Fuck that. FUCK THAT. If you're searching for a direction, and you're trying to think of divisions you can compete in because you just want to grab some gold in AW -He snatches the AW Hardcore title belt up, thrusting it directly into the camera view with an angry jerk. Downfall: You look at this fucking belt, and you keep right on walking. This belt is not for people that are going to waste my time, people that think they're just going to try it out for a few weeks while they wait for their next shot in Havoc or Glory. No. This belt is for people that are going to match my effort and give it everything they have or I swear to GOD, I will drop the crowbar and beat them into a bloody smear on the mat with my bare hands. Do not step up to me unless you're prepared to get wet. That's on my fucking soul.He huffs angrily, and turns to the side, leaning his head against an equipment case, seething still, because the expenditure that he just took out on Holden Ross has him keyed up and emotional, and still in fight mode. Cameraman: Yeah but... Downfall... What about Dionysus? Like... What was that out there?Downfall's head snaps back, and his eyes lock on the person behind the camera, almost a "how dare you" look on his face. Then, he begins to compose himself, the anger going back inside, and his face growing colder. Downfall: Nothing to say about that.Cameraman: Yeah, but... things got tense, you sure you're...Downfall: Nothing to say about it. Get the hell away from me.The cameraman backs up, but still stays trained on Downfall, but Downfall turns towards him, and lets out an angry roar. Downfall: GO.The cameraman jerks backwards, and retreats to a safe distance away, as Downfall turns and begins pacing around the hallway between the equipment cases again.

Dirge Segment!
Pasternak is seen on his cell phone in front of his office. He is arguing with somebody, but the camera doesn't catch who it is or what he says. That alone is enough for the crowd to unleash their boos. Eventually, Max Daemon walks into frame with Holo Make behind him, looking stoic and vicious as always. This causes the boos to seemingly increase. Pasternak: Yeah, look, can I call you back?After a few seconds, Pasternak hangs up his phone and looks at Max. The latter's smirk seems to grow as he offers a hand. Pasternak responds in kind, giving Max a "bro" shake. A smile starts to grow on his face. Pasternak: Max, is that a new look? I'm liking it.Max Daemon: It is, thanks for noticin bossman. Pasternak: Look, I've got a lot of phone calls to do and I'm a little bit busy, what can I help you with?Max Daemon: I just wanted ta' talk ta' ya' about a potential business opportunity.Pasternak's eyebrows raise. Pasternak: I'm always looking for new business.Max Daemon: Ya' see...I want what's best for AW.Pasternak: Yeah, sure.Max Daemon: Where I'm goin with this is quite simple: AW needs more. It needs somethin bigger, somethin...more of the times. I'm thinkin...we bring back bloodsport.Pasternak looks a bit hesitant at the notion. Max stall his presentation to talk to Pasternak directly. Max Daemon: All funded by myself, of course. Presented by Action Wrestling and Max Daemon, live on Paramount+, the exclusive home of Action Wrestling. I'd only need two things from ya'...your permission...and your freedom.Pasternak: You...want to run a show? What, are you turning into Corey Black?Max Daemon: No. Fuck XIII and its Vikin, Norse bullshit. I'm thinkin more than just your standard hardcore match. Bloodsport is always more than just that. It's violence. It's bloody. It's carnage and massacre. Pasternak: And what makes you think the sponsors will go for it? Max Daemon: That's the best part. We wouldn't even need sponsors. Trust me when I say that I can MORE than afford ta' billfold the whole thing.Pasternak: And you'd take care of everything? Max Daemon: All I need is the Action Wrestling seal of approval.Pasternak looks around for a few seconds. After a bit, he nods. Pasternak: Let me look into it. I'll get back to you with an answer.With that, Pasternak calls back the number and walks off. Max's smirk disappears once Pasternak has left. Max Daemon: Prick.Holo Make: What's the plan now? Without that spotlight, we're back where we started.Max Daemon: First lesson about spotlights, Holo: ya' REALLY want one...ya' steal one. Come on. Let's head ta' the ring...The Dirge walk off screen, their goal now established.

In The Ring
The lights all through the arena dim. An explosion of golden pyro shoots off near the top of the stage. And then more pyro…and then some more! Almost two minutes of an over the top display of golden fireworks before the music kicks in. I-I-I have a heart I swear I do But just not baby when it comes to you The crowd boos LOUDLY as the intro to “Cannibal” by Kesha booms throughout the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Flanked by Jake Paul, Jill Park confidently struts through the pyro smoke a big, shit-eating grin on her face, World Championship sitting on her right shoulder. She stops at the top of the ramp, looking out at her “adoring public” for a moment. Her big smile quickly dissolves into a piercing glare of disdain. That doesn’t last long either, as she turns to Jake, placing both hands on either sides of his face and the two share a gross, disgusting, not-wholesome-at-all kiss, much to the further disdain of the crowd in attendance. As the finally unlatch their faces from one another, Jill laugh maniacally as Jake wraps her arm around her, and they finally descend down the ramp. Chris Avery: Well it looks like we’re going to hear from the World Champion!Billy: And with good reason! Many would say that at Gold Rush, Jill Park picked up the biggest win of her career when she walked out of the Fatal Fourway match STILL World Champion!Chris Avery: Very true Billy. In what was a dramatic, crazy match, Jill Park was able to break up a pin attempt by Sam Kidsgrove by hitting Cancel Culture! Jill pinned Kidsgrove to retain the title, I’ll say, to perhaps the shock of everyone!Billy: I’m sure not to the surprise of Torture, or Jill Park!Chris Avery: And of course, Park is flanked by Jake Paul. Unbelievably, Torture has ONCE AGAIN abused his power, and has granted Jake Paul a Television Championship match, later TONIGHT!Jill Park struts down the ramp, laughing at the fans as the scream, curse, boo, and even throw trash towards her. Chris Avery: Between the manner in which Jill Park initially became World Champion, and everything that’s transpired since…the things Torture has said and done, the things Park has done and said…she must be, undoubtedly the most HATED person in Action Wrestling!Billy: And with good reason!Park walks up the steel steps, pausing as she turns towards the crowd behind her, and raises the World Championship up high, further drawing their ire, before stepping between the ropes and into the ring. As the music quickly dies down, Jill demands a microphone and is handed one. Jill twirls the microphone in her hand as she continues laughing at her reception. Jill Park: What’s up morons?The fans again boo loudly!
“FUCK YOU JILL!” “FUCK YOU JILL!” “FUCK YOU JILL!” Jill smirks, as she waits for it to die down, which surprisingly, it quickly does. Jill Park: Awwwwwww! Are you all sad? Are you all letdown? Did I tell you what was gonna fucking happen, happen? “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Jill Park: It must be difficult seeing your heroes try and live up to your lofty expectations, and fail time and time again. It must be frustrating believing in fake good guys like Spencer Adams and Sam Kidsgrove. I wouldn’t know, because the only person I believe in is myself. If I need advice, if I need a pick-up, if I need anything, all I gotta do is look in the mirror..Or ask Torture.Jill breaks down laughing in the middle of the ring as the fans once again attempt pelting her with garbage. Jill Park: I stand before you the same fucking person I told you that I was. The same person I’ve always been. While the REST OF THIS ROSTER tries talking down to me, telling me that I didn’t do it the right way, or that I am only here because of Torture. This, coming from a legion of fucking peasants who couldn’t LACE MY BOOTS.
Again the fans cut in with massive boos, but Jill is undeterred. Jill Park: Yeah, the truth is hard to swallow, ain’t it? Newsflash. That’s why I’m here. Because I’m the real deal. I’m here because nobody has fucking stopped me. Because nobody CAN fucking stop me. That’s why I’m in this position. That’s why I am the number one DRAW in the wrestling world. That’s why I am Torture’s BEST INVESTMENT; Action Wrestling’s BEST INVESTMENT. The rest of you can bitch. You can moan. You can clamour for a time at which I am not THE center of attention. Just know, that time isn’t going to come. You’d think I wouldn’t have to spell it out for all of you at this point, but I’ve been opposed all along. I’ve had some of the biggest stars this company has ever seen, saying they were going to make me out to be a fraud. Telling me that they’d send me back down. That I am not capable of headlining this show. Saying all sorts of nonsense. And what happened? What happened, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME? I beat them down, I wore them down. I BEAT them. And most of the time? They were never the same again. Most of them didn’t even bother to come back at all. So I think it’s time you all wake up to what has been laid in front of you. It’s time that you all take a page from the brilliant mind of Torture, and INVEST in me too. You are witnessing, in real time, the rise of the GREATEST Champion in Action Wrestling HISTORY.The Action Tron alights with an image of a black-and-white claymation pig. The swine, clad in top hat and tailed-tuxedo puffs greedily on a cigar, a porcine robber baron. A buzzsaw screams through the scene, teeth rending the wealthy swine in two as red splatters the screen. Blood trickles down, sullying the white background to spell out... REGAN VOORHEES
Billy: SHITFIRE! REGAN VOORHEES IS COMING OUT TO INTERRUPT JILL PARK!Chris Avery: Just two weeks ago we saw what was the IMPLOSION of Affluenza! Regan Voorhees no longer wanted to take the backseat! No longer wanted to be a pawn for Jill Park and Torture!As “Leader of the Pack” by Sleigh Bells continues to play, Regan appears on stage, making a beeline for the ring! The crowd pops(a bit), and Regan throws them a sideways glance when she stops at the ring apron, keeping her eyes on Jill as she takes the steps up. She pauses on the apron for a moment, mic in hand. Regan Voorhees: Hi, Jill.She steps through the ropes, but keeps some space between the two of them. Regan Voorhees: I’m great, thanks for asking. Hope you’re well, but you seem a little stressed. I know, pressure being of a champion and all, try and take a little time for yourself and don’t let the naysayers get you down.She sighs dramatically. Regan Voorhees: But anyway. Nay. Great job getting the top, however you did it, everyone’s jelly, pretending they would’ve done it the right way, whatever that is, and here you are screaming at an entire world that’s against you. But world aside.. There’s also me. Little ol’ Regan, former tag team partner, bestie, blah blah blah. You know how these wrestling grudges go, the two ex-friends, destined to fight each other. So we could just skip to that part… Or given my less than stellar 2022, I can claw my way up whatever rankings stand between me and you and we can settle this like violent, blood-filled grownups. What do you say, Jill?The crowd pops big, wanting anyone to shut up Jill Park! Jill however, is incredibly hesitant. First she backs away a step, but then steps forward, rage filling her eyes and facial features; she looks like she may lunge at Regan at any moment. She then calmly raises the microphone up to her mouth. Jill Park: Pass.The crowd boos LOUDLY as Park backs up and exits through the ring ropes, all the while clutching at the World Championshp tightly. She waves Regan off, as well as the fans who are screaming frantically, all around ringside. Billy: SHITFIRE! Jill Park clearly does not want to face Regan Voorhees!Chris Avery: Torture has tried to insulate Jill Park from any consequences for her actions, and it’s clear she’s gotten used to it! But I would be surprised if our Champion has heard the last of her former tag team partner!

Dirge Segment Again!
A series of church bells begins to play on the PA. Once those fade out, we can hear the guitar of "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult take over. Chris Avery: Well welcome back to Clash. Billy: And what a welcoming back we're gonna get. Oof.
Once the verse starts, Max f'n Daemon steps out onto the stage. A smirk on his face, he raises both of his hands. Holo Make steps out from the back, towel ever present on his head. He walks towards Max, eyes down and face expressionless, especially when compared to Max's smirk. The two begin to make their way down to the ring. Holo ignores the fans while Max keeps his eyes focused on the ring. Adeline Floyd: Making their way to the ring. "The Pale Rider" HOLO MAKE, "The Hellborn and Heavensent" MAX DAEMON. Together they are...The DIRGE! Chris Avery: Earlier tonight we heard Max Daemon talk to Torture about a new show. A special event, seemingly, with bloodsport. Billy: 2 the Max 2! Chris Avery: Yes, that's the assumption. Billy: 2 the Max 2: 2 Furious! Chris Avery: Wait, was that even earlier tonight? Wasn't it moments go? Billy: Chris, the concept of time is an illusion.
Once they reach ringside, Holo takes the steps into the ring itself. Max follows him onto the apron, but steps onto the the top and middle ropes, doing giving a "shot" with a finger gun to the hard camera. He then hops down. The duo step into the middle of the ring, Holo posted behind Max. Holo rips his towel off, raising his right fist up. At the same time, Max sets up towards the hard camera with one last finger gun "shot". Once he "fires" it, Holo drops his fist and does a "cutthroat" gesture with his thumb. Billy: No alcohol tonight. Chris Avery: Seemingly with his increased MMA schedule with Quantum MMA on SPLAT! Network, he isn't allowed to participate in that anymore. Billy: Well that's lame!
Max nabs a mic from Adeline and almost immediately tries to drown out the boos. Max Daemon: Holy shit, I wanna make like Lebron and get the FUCK outta here, so let's just let me go straight ta' ten and see what happens!
Yeah, the crowd doesn't like that. Max Daemon: The Dirge dominated the former tag champs Supermarks three weeks ago. And since then, where the hell have we been? Quite frankly, I'm a busy man now-a-days and don't have a lot of time ta' dedicate ta' the..."enjoyment" of people like YOU Cleveland fucks.
More boos! Yay! Max Daemon: But we're here now! So imagine my surprise when I come ta' Clash with the intentions of competin and...lo and behold...I don't spot either myself or Holo's name on the match card. Now...I'm not one ta' rip inta' AW...
Holo walks up and pulls the mic towards him. He is seemingly confused. Holo Make: Max...you're EXACTLY that kind of man.
Holo steps back, still looking...legitimately confused? Max though, Max just smirks wider. Max Daemon: My god, Holo, you're right! This is the kinda shit I was talkin about when the original goal of The Dirge was announced. The death of Action Wrestling might seem like a hyperbolic notion, but when a tag team like ours gets no matches for three weeks while a literal nothing tag team match like James Freedom and Jonny Cedrone against Jessie Lee and Henry Lancaster gets screen time...well quite frankly it's fuckin ridiculous. I get that nobody will probably hear this and that the name of Max Daemon has taken a hit recently...but it's a new me, baby.
Max's left blue eye winks at the camera. Max Daemon: And despite everyone's best efforts otherwise...you're not gettin rid of me. And despite stupid decisions like givin Holden Ross a title shot, bookin a ridiculous Baja Blast match on the B-show, and removin a perfectly alright tag team match on a pay-per-view just ta' serve it on the TV show afterwards for free...and not even as the main event...I'm still here! Because this might be a new look...but I'm still Max fuckin Daemon!
Max finds the nearest camera in the ring and stares down its lens. Max Daemon: So Wesley and Shaw. Odin and Corey. The tag division seems ta' be on life support recently, and it's perfectly fine if ya' wanna slap each other over those tag belts...but we're here now. And we're after those belts. This isn't the same Dirge that petered out on CruiserClash until I had ta' eliminate the weak links. This is a new melody. One where Max fuckin Daemon and The Pale Rider are lookin for penance. And we just found some. So when ya' hear that new melody...don't fear the reaper...fear The Dirge.
Max lets the mic drop, but the crowd's reaction suddenly turns loud. Max looks over and sees Doc Knockem rushing out of the crowd, over the barricade. Billy: Oh my god! That's Doc Knockem! Chris Avery: Of Rulers of Our Kind! We haven't seen him since Max gave him a concussion!
Max's smirk widens as Doc slides into the ring. With little fanfare, he lets out a boot that sends Max to the mat. Billy: Good god that boot just laid out Max!
Doc throws his cowboy hat off, but turns right into a Superkick by Holo! Doc crashes to the canvas and immediately clutches his head. Chris Avery: Oh man what a Superkick! Billy: You know he's not fully recovered! Chris Avery: And with Kitsumi out with that broken arm and Roddy still recovering, he's all alone! Billy: Doc wanted revenge, but The Dirge put an end to that real quick.
Holo drags Doc into the corner, seating him down in it. Max uses the ropes to get to his feet. He holds his chin, a look of unexpected rage on his face. Holo walks to the opposite corner. Chris Avery: Max looking PISSED here!
Max yells at Holo to "do it" so Holo slaps his chest twice before charging. He slams his ass into Doc's face seated in the corner! Chris Avery: Call to Kanaloa!
Max tells Holo to head back over, so he complies. Holo rushes to the opposite corner again, slamming back into it before immediately charging. Again, he slams his ass into Doc's head, ricocheting off the turnbuckle! Billy: And again! Chris Avery: Oh god! I don't think Doc was fully recovered from that concussion!
The medical team and referees slide into the ring. The latter demand The Dirge leave as Holo and Max stare down Doc with a glare. The referees manage to get them back far enough as the EMTs start to tend to Doc. Billy: Doc wanted revenge, but he learned quickly not to mess with The Dirge. Chris Avery: Or at least Holo! Who Max had to rely on HUGE tonight!
Max and Holo share a look. At Max's smirk, Holo pushes past the referees. Billy: Oh come on man! Chris Avery: He's hurt! Let him go!
Holo drags Doc by his legs, pulling him away from the gaggle of EMTs. Max gets out of the ring, sticking near a corner and gripping the top rope with both hands. Chris Avery: You've done enough!
Holo grabs Doc's arm and forces him to his feet. Once he's standing, Holo picks him up in a bear hug. He turns around, charging past referees and slamming Doc into a corner! Billy: Oh man!
Holo turns around, but keeps his grip, allowing Max to springboard up and hit a blockbuster to Doc as Holo slams him down with a Spinebuster! Chris Avery: For Whom the Bell Tolls! Billy: It just tolled for Doc Knockem for sure!
Holo lets Doc go as he and Max exit the ring. EMTs continue attending to a clearly not-all-there Doc. Max and Holo head to the back, smirking and scowling respectively. They're the last sight we see as Chris signs off. Chris Avery: The Dirge announced plenty of things tonight! 2 the Max 2 might happen! They're after the Tag Titles! And they also put down a Doc Knockem looking for revenge! We'll be right back with more Clash!

Tyler Walker vs. Keiji Ueno
Adeline Floyd: The next match, set for one fall . . ."I Like to Move it Move it" plays on the speaker system and Tyler Walker goes to the ring and he looks mean as can be. He flexes up a storm and then smiles and the girls cry while the men get aroused. Not all of them but most of them. Adeline Floyd: Standing 6’3” and weighing it at 280 lbs., he is Tyler WALKER!Billy: This man is built like a brick outhouse, Chris! I wouldn’t want to be the man opposite him when he gets moving.“Senbonzakura” by Kurousa begins to play through the PA system before Keiji Ueno steps through the curtains onto the stage. He takes a moment to look across the crowd before making his way to the ring, eyes fixed forward and awkwardly avoiding the outreached hands. Entering the ring via the ring steps, he moves to his assigned corner and runs through some last minute stretches waiting for the match to begin. Adeline Floyd: And his opponent, from Kobe, Japan, standing at 6’0” and weighing 200 lbs., he is Keiji UENO!Chris Avery: Is the size advantage bothers this young man, he is certainly hiding it well. Curious to see what tricks this second generational wrestler can pull from his bag. Referee checks with both men, and he signals for the bell. We’re off!DING DING DING Ueno launches from his corner as Walker steps forward, throwing a shoulder tackle against the bigger man, bouncing off. Walker flashes a grin and flexes his biceps again, inviting Keiji to try again. Shooting to the ropes, Ueno comes back a second time to similar effect. With a loud yell, Keiji shoots the ropes a third time, but is met with a charging shoulder tackle from Tyler; the young lion is sent hard to the mat, before eating a flurry of stomps from Walker. Billy: Fire early from the smaller man, but Walker passes through the flames unscathed in the early moments.Ueno rolls to the outside to escape the stomps, but Walker is quick to follow. Pulling Keiji from his knees on the floor, he whips him harshly into the barricade, before following up with a running big boot that sends Ueno into the front row. Tyler returns to the ring, calling for a count for the referee while he flexes to the crowd. Christ Avery: Tyler Walker is willing to earn his win via count out tonight. Referee is up to six . . . seven . . . but Ueno dives into the ring at the eight count. Walker steps forward for more stomps, but Ueno quickly rolls out again, seeking refuge on the apron. Walker attempts to follow, but as he sticks his first leg through the middle rope, Keiji springs up and delivers a Dragon Screw onto Walker, wrenching the limb. Walker stumbles back, favoring his leg, and Ueno tries to capitalize with a springboard forearm, but is met with a heavy clothesline from the limping Walker. A pinfall follows. ONE! TWO! Kickout! Billy: A crafty trap laid by Ueno, but not enough damage to put the big man down.Chris Avery: Even now, though, Tyler Walker is keeping weight off of that leg, so some damage to his base was achieved.Walker pulls Ueno to his feet, whipping him roughly into the ropes. Ueno ducks between the lariat awaiting him on the rebound, and rapidly hits the opposite ropes before Walker can turn completely around. Tyler rotates, and eats a chop block from Keiji, extending the injured leg. Kneeling, but not down, Ueno shoots the ropes again, slamming into the back of Walker with a running knee strike. Walker finally goes to the mat. Chris Avery: The big man is down and Keiji Ueno is wasting no time, as he locks in the Ueno Lock. What a wicked Stretch Muffler!Billy: Will Tyler Walker tap out? He taps! DING DING DING Billy: HE DID! HE TAPPED OUT!Chris Avery: WHAT A DEBUT FOR UENO!!He gets up and steps over Walker as the official raises his hand in the air! Billy: KEIJI UENO IS A WINNER HERE ON CLASH!Chris Avery: He's moving up already! I dig that!We fade to a commercial.
