The show opens to a shot of Billy seated on a stool in a dark room with a somber look on his face. Billy: It is with a heavy heart that we here at Action Wrestling report that OG Bishop has passed away. OG Bishop has been with Action Wrestling since the very first show and waged war with many of our top stars over the years. He broke into the business twenty years ago alongside his sometimes friend, sometimes enemy, Action Wrestling Co-Owner Gravedigger.
The two men waged war as well a number of times throughout their career culminating in a OG Bishop win at the first Evolution in a brutal Hell In A Cell match. OG Bishop will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with OG Bishop and his family at this time.The scene fades and we switch to the ActionTron which lights up with a picture of OG Bishop and under it are the following words. RIP OG Bishop September 3rd, 1979 - January 13, 2021 The screen switches to a video as "Legends Are Made" by Sam Tinnesz starts playing. OG Bishop is shown at the top of the ramp during his entrance roaring out at the crowd with Mr. Armstrong standing beside him. The video cuts to inside the ring with OG Bishop walking around the ring with an intense look on his face. The video cuts to various clips of OG Bishop in action. Bishop is seen tossing other wrestlers across the ring with ease, then doing overhead belly-to-belly suplexes, big boots. OG Bishop is shown roaring out at opponents, scaring more than one out of the ring. The clips then switch to OG Bishop chokeslamming various opponents, executing running powerslams, and performing his finisher the Book of Bishop on numerous opponents. The video cuts to old WCF clips of Bishop and his twin brother Priest taking opponents out with relative ease with power moves and pinning tag teams. They're seen holding up tag team titles. The video cuts to OG Bishop and Gravedigger in The Dark Side faction beating the hell out of people with moves, chairs, and stomping away at them. The video then switches to OG Bishop and Gravedigger standing face-to-face, talking trash to each other. The video cuts to clips of the pair brawling and hitting big moves on each other in match after match over the years. The video switches to the first ever Evolution in Action Wrestling. It's a Hell In A Cell match between OG Bishop and Gravedigger in 2018. A clip shows OG Bishop hitting his double powerbomb finisher, Book of Bishop on the side of the cell, bending it and pinning Gravedigger. The video then cuts to OG Bishop holding up various titles he's won throughout his career: hardcore titles, tag titles, TV titles, US titles. The video finally cuts to a shot of OG Bishop grabbing the camera at ringside and roaring into it and the video fades. The screen switches back to the picture of OG Bishop and RIP message as the camera zooms out to show the top of the ramp filled with AW wrestlers, officials, and both Gravedigger and Torture standing at the front of the group. Adilene is standing next to them with a mic in hand. Adilene Floyd: At this time, we would ask you all to stand in silence as we toll the bell ten times in remembrance of OG Bishop.As the bell rings ten times, various members of the roster and the fans in attendance are shown wiping away tears. Gravedigger is shown with tears in his eyes as someone standing behind him clasps a hand on his shoulder. The cameras switch back to the big screen of Bishop and the RIP message for a few seconds before we fade to commercial.

The Sin Eater Byron Bathory vs. Dionysus
An unsettling hush comes over the crowd, just before the lights are cut off like someone blowing out a candle. A red strobe pulsates to life as The Duchess of Bedlam methodically walks out to center stage draped in a white sheer veil, her hands bound in a prayer with a red rope as "The In-Between" by In This Moment starts to play. She sings slowly along and as she inches closer to the ramp, the song kicks up and Byron steps out from behind the curtain dressed in his black trunks with crimson trim, black boots with black wraparound kick pads, and his hands and wrists taped up with black tape. Byron moves slowly around The Duchess, eyeing her up and down, he goes in to lift her veil, but instead grabs a hold of the red rope. He turns toward the ramp and gives a cocky smile as he slowly pulls The Duchess along with him. Fans reach out, but Byron blows them off and jaws at them for their trouble. Byron gets to the ring and he leads The Duchess to the stairs, where he slowly unties her hands. The two enter the ring and Byron stands in the center as The Duchess circles him, offering his finely chiseled physique to the crowd. The Duchess lowers herself to her knees at Byron's side, she looks up at him as she grabs onto his leg and she slowly pulls up her veil, revealing a demonic smile. Byron nods with his own crazed look before the lights cut back off. Billy: This guy is certainly an interesting character!Chris Avery: I mean if thereās anyone that should go up against a newcomer like Sin Eater, it should be Dionysus our veteran āinteresting characterā if you ask me!Billy: Yeah, I really like this guyās energy! Letās see what he can bring to Action Wrestling!Monster Hunter: World - Bazelgeuse Theme begins to play throughout the arena. "The Legion", 20 Centurion guards march down the aisle, lining up 10 on one side and 10 on the other leading down to the ring and stand at attention. A quadriga of four Clydesdale horses pulling a chariot made of gold appears carrying "The Crimson Gladiator" Dion Necurat and makes its way down the aisle as if entering the Roman Colosseum ready to do battle and circles the ring and stops. As Dion enters the ring, the quadriga of four Clydesdale horses pulling a chariot made of gold makes its way back up the aisle and disappears followed by The Legion. "The Crimson Gladiator" Dion Necurat, standing in the middle of the ring, raising a scepter of Dionysus toward the crowd and starts banging the shaft against a custom made Vibranium/steel alloy Spartan shield calling out his opponent to engage him into a fight to the death. Dion's fans stand in unison to cheer their warrior as gold coins in Dion Necurat's likeness rains down on him in the center of the ring. He looks out to his fans, who give Dion the thumbs up and gives his opponent the thumbs down, meaning "Death!" Dion raises both arms holding the scepter and custom made Spartan shield wide out over his head in praise to the crowd and let's out a Gladiator bloodcurdling scream. Billy: Last week, thanks to interference by Max Daemon, Dion got a huge win against Graham Baker!Chris Avery: Yeah, Baker is a decorated champion here in AW. Donāt get me wrong, Dion is no pushover and almost had the win on his own, but you know heās gotta be thanking Max Daemon for that big assist.Billy: I donāt know. Graham Baker doesnāt seem like the type to let that slide and may be coming back for a rematch with Dion in the future.Chris Avery: Well, regardless, letās see how Dion fares against the newcomer Byron Bathory here tonight!The referee calls for the bell to begin the match. Dion charges forward and floors Byron with a clothesline. Byron pops back up only to eat a big boot, nearly knocking the spit right out of his mouth. Byron goes to get up but Dion forces him to the mat with a facecrusher! Dion is down on Byronās back before he can get up again and locks in a crossface! Byron yells out but pulls the pair to the ropes where Dion is forced to release the hold. Dion holds on for a four count before instantly releasing the hold. Dion has Byron up on his feet and hoists him onto his shoulders and drops him for an air raid siren! Chris Avery: Dionysus with a pin!ONE!!! T---NOOO!! Byron kicks out right before the referee was going to hit the match a second time! Billy: SHITFIRE! I donāt think Iāve ever seen Dion come out with a flurry of moves that early in a match before!Chris Avery: Yeah, this new Dionysus weāve been seeing for a while is not here to play games, Billy!Billy: True, Chris, and I donāt think he wants to lose to a newcomer.Dion pulls Byron to his feet and whips him across the ring. Byron comes back with a rolling elbow, blasting Dion right in the face. Dion is up but goes down to a discus clothesline. Byron whips Dion across the ring once heās back on his feet, but Dion reverses. Dion misses with another clothesline and Byron spears Dion, nearly knocking him out of his boots! Billy: DAMN!! What a spear!!Chris Avery: I think he knocked the wind out of Dionysus!Dion rolls up into the corner and Byron charges in and hits Dion hard with running double knees. Byron pulls Dion to his feet and executes a dragon suplex and bridges for a pin! ONEE!!! TWOO----NOOO! Dion kicks out right as the referee slaps the mat a second time. Billy: Byron is taking it to Dion right now!Chris Avery: Yeah these are some hard hitting moves!Byron whips Dion across the ring, but Dion reverses again and catches Byron for a huge spinebuster in the center of the ring. Dion sends Byron across the ring and catches him with a pop-up cutter. He rolls over and grabs Byronās legs and sits up with a boston crab. Byron yells out and pulls the pair over to the ropes and forces Dion to release the hold. Dion again waits for the count of four before releasing, exerting pressure on the lower back. Billy: Dionysus really working on the lower back of Byron here.Chris Avery: Yeah and with Dionysusā size, that Boston Crab has to be really wearing down Byron.Dion reaches down and clamps a hand on Byronās throat, pulls him to his feet and lifts him in the air for a big chokeslam! Dion pulls Byron to his feet again and whips him across the ring and executes a flapjack. He pulls Byron to his feet again and signals for a big move. Dion lifts Byron up and drops him for a double pumphandle Orange Crush Bomb!!! Billy: SILVER CHARIOT TO BYRON BATHORY!!!Chris Avery: Dion hooks the leg!!ONE!!! TWOOO! THR---NOOO! Byron gets a shoulder up! Dion smirks as he pulls Byron to his feet and signals for the end. Dion has Byron up on his shoulders, but Byron wiggles off and springboards, nailing a disaster kick on Dion. Byron springboards again as Dion gets to his feet and floors him with a European Uppercut! Byron pulls Dion to his feet and drops him with a saito suplex. He follows it up with a spinning roundhouse kick. Both men are catching their breath and Byron kicks Dion in the gut before hoisting him up for a brainbuster suplex!! Billy: Just like that, Byron is taking back control of this match, Chris!Chris Avery: Yeah, he looks like heās ready to finish Dionysus off!Byron pulls Dion to his feet who goes for a clothesline and misses! Byron ducks it and grabs Dion from behind and drops him with a reverse DDT!! Chris Avery: SIN WITH A GRIN TO DIONYSUS!!!Billy: Byron has the leg hooked!ONEEE! TWOOO!! THRE----NOOO!!

Downfall & Sam Kidsgrove Segment
Scene switches to the parking garage to find a limo arriving. After several moments and an exchange of conversation from inside, the door opens, and Sam Kidsgrove emerges. Kidsgrove is dressed to the nines. Taking Zooey by the hand to lead her out of the limo, he is followed by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and several members of an entourage. Chatting among themselves, they make their way through the parking lot on their way into the arena. However, they find a figure waiting for them, leaning against a support column lackadaisically, arms folded. He's wearing a black duster over equally black clothing. Downfall grins, a "What have we here" expression. Downfall: Well, if it isn't the beautiful people. Glad you could grace us with your presence, representatives of "Old Media" all.Zooey is the first to step up. Zooey Deschanel: What do you want Daniel? Weāve just been pulled from a charity gala, told to get in a waiting limo and were driven here, presumably for something important. Please donāt tell me it was you just starting a fight, because if it is, I swear to God I will slap you right now in my cocktail dress.Downfall grins. Downfall: Oh, I'm not here to fight you, right now... in fact, I don't have any interest in making TMZ because I laid in to some Hollywood elites and caused them extensive amounts of surgery. Again.He looks from Matt Damon to Ben Affleck as he taunts them. Downfall: But I just wanted to say, Kidsgrove, I'm not the only one who has no interest in seeing a fight between me and some pampered, soft-handed celebrities.He makes the understood "one moment" gesture, and he extracts a cell phone from the inside pocket of his duster. This smart-phone has a security lock on it, but Downfall opens it up, and it has a picture of Clash GM Alexander Pasternak, hugging it out with Jaice Wilds. Downfall shows them the home screen of the phone, as if revealing his hand. Kidsgrove and Zooey exchange a confused look. Sam Kidsgrove: Surely you're not suggesting...Downfall smirks. Downfall: That this is assistant GM Jaice Wild's phone, that I somehow got because he's stupid and left it in catering near a hot dog cart.Sam Kidsgrove: Right, fascinating, but what does that have to do with -Downfall: Would you like to see the texts on this phone?Answering his own question, Downfall brings up a text thread, and shows it to him. Reading aloud, savoring with relish. Downfall: "Timeless versus new had some merit without the old lol Cranley was right"A beat, then, to let it savor, Downfall reads: Downfall: What if we took Cranley's suggestion and made it one on one and Kidsgrove can go polish statues or something?Finally, obviously relishing the look on Kidsgrove's face: Downfall: He continues, does olā Pasta, ācan't we talk to daddy Tort about removing Kidsgrove from that match, he didn't even put out the challenge, Affleck and Damon did"Kidsgrove gives a glaring look to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who look sheepishly off to the side. Then, Kidsgrove looks back at Downfall. Sam Kidsgrove: Look kid, I donāt care what your little text message chain says, you and Cranley laid down the challenge, I accepted. If you want to come up with some elaborate scheme to get me out of it then I guess youāre more like your craven boss than I thought. I assumed at least one of your disgusting group of horrorshows would have a backbone, but I guess not.Downfall: I'm just telling you, Sammy... the perception is, old school doesn't have a place in this match, and management agrees with Cranley on that... seems like you're going to be the odd man out.Sam Kidsgrove: I donāt care much for you, I donāt care much for Cranley. I find New Media deplorable and that, along with TV fuelled an insurrextion the other week. If Iām the odd man out, so be it, but you can bet your ass weāre gonna fight, if only so I can send both your stupid bosses a message.Downfall: I'm just giving you a friendly heads up, for old times, like our old Trios team. You're about to be out... but I think you should do something about that to show management, and Cranley that you belong. Because, well... it would suck to be on the outside looking in... wouldn't it.Downfall's smile is devilish and there's something in his eye that makes them squirm. Zooey motions to Kidsgrove, beckoning him that they should go. Kidsgrove looks at Downfall, however, completely unafraid and not intimidated, but something in his words has stuck in Kidsgrove's mind. Sam Kidsgrove: Go to hell.Kidsgrove storms off, with Zooey holding his arm. Downfall watches after him, and laughs. He puts the phone, apparent property of Jaice Wilds, back in his pocket, and walks the other way into the parking garage.

Claire Hawkins vs. Bam Beefer Billy: We got one heck of a styles clash cominā up, folks.Chris Avery: Thatās right. The 300 pound Bam Beefer will take on a legend half his size in Claire Hawkins.Billy: Claire been good against monsters in the pastā¦ but this olā boy is a heifer!Retaliation hits and Bam Beefer comes out immediately from behind the curtain screaming and yelling throwing his hands up. He spins around slowly taking a look at his video on the Action Tron as he's walking down the ramp. He doesn't high five any of the fans as he yells into the camera as his nameplate shows up on screen. Adilene Floyd: Introducing from Houston Texas, weighing 300 pounds, BAM BEEFER!Bam rolls into the ring under the ropes and gets up and runs against the ropes two times and stops in the middle of the ring and taunts at the crowd. Bam leans in the corner wiping the sweat off his head and getting ready for the match to begin. Chris Avery: Walking to the ring took a lot out of him.Billy: Just imagine what Claire gonā do to him!As the world falls; wider grows disaster's maw Desperate the thralls call; thee three crows caw As those words faded to black, a shrill Bansheeās Wail rang out through the stadium and everything went as dark as it possibly could. A moment later, the beginnings of Orbit Cultureās Nensha began to play; a light layer of smoke appeared upon the stage as the lights began to frantically flash in sync with the music. As the music increased in pace, so did the flashing of the lights; a silhouette of a person appearing upon the stage, hunched forward. PICK UP THE BONES! Abruptly, the lights return to normal in time to see the person lean backward and release a deep guttural scream upwards to the heavens from parted lips painted black. Upon finishing the guttural growl, the person titled their head down and fixated their fiery crimson gaze upon the ring; the Action Wrestling crowd letting out a sizable pop. With skin as pale as porcelain and clearly dressed to compete within the squared circle, the person was none other than the Witch of Action Wrestling; Claire Hawkins! Adilene Floyd: Making her way to the ring, from Salem, Massachusetts, weighing in at 145 pounds, she is "The Witch".....CLAIRE.....HAWKINS!!Once she reached the ringside area Claire paused for a moment to look at the cameraman that had dared to get close enough to get a good shot of her face. With a vicious snarl, Claire let out another one of those screams and forced the cameraman to quickly backpedal. Feeling pleased with herself, Claire made her way over to the steps and into the ring. Once she was in the ring she walked to the side of the ring where the hard camera was and stepped onto the second rope, leaned forward a little to keep her balance, and held her arms up while she held up in the "Devil Horns" gesture as pyro shot up from the ring posts. All the while bellowing out that same savage, guttural scream. Billy: That scream gets me every time, I tell you what!Chris Avery: Claire Hawkins is up against a mountain of a man. Bam Beefer is very new to Action Wrestling, and I get the impression heās new to this sport in general.Billy: What makes ya think that?Chris Avery: I meanā¦ just look at himā¦Bam Beefer is seated on a chair in the corner, wolfing down a quadruple cheeseburger and a tray of chili cheese waffle fries. Seemingly showing no respect for his opponent, he ignores the officialās request to put down his meal. Claire charges toward him and leaps in the air, grabbing ahold of the ropes and nailing Bam with a rope aided dropkick. Billy: METAL MAGIKAAAAA!!!!!His food goes flying into the crowd and Claire gets to her feet, letting out yet another scream. The official removes the chair from the ring as Bam struggles to get to his feet. He wipes the chili cheese from his eyes, only to eat a wind-up overhead kick. Billy: TOUCH! OF! EEEEEVVVIIILLLL!!!!!1Bam drops to a knee and Claire wastes no time, nailing him with a step-up big boot. Billy: SHINING WIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!!1!Chris Avery: THIS MATCH IS A HIGHLIGHT REEL! I LOVE IT!Bam drops down to all fours and Claire lets out a siiiiiiick fucking scream. The fans are going apeshit. When she turns around to cover, Bam has pushed up to his feet. He woozily stumbles toward her and she runs to the corner, then springboards off and nails Bam with a corkscrew senton. Billy: COUNTER SPELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!Chris Avery: BAM BEEFER IS DOWN!Billy: CLAIRE HAWKINS MAKES THE COVER!ONE! TWO! THREEEEEE! The bell sounds and āNenshaā by Orbit Culture starts up and Claire Hawkins gets up, having her hand raised in victory. She pulls away from the official and yells at Adilene to give her a microphone. Adilene obliges and the music dies down to a reasonable volume. Claire Hawkins: I meant what I said last night! Iām not going to let what Iāve worked my ENTIRE life for go to waste! Tonight, I took Bam Beefer to the FUCKING slaughterhouse! Sooner than later, there is another BUTCHER who Iām going to settle some BEEF with! Ball is in your courtā¦ DER METZGER!She drops the mic and the volume kicks back up on her music as the scene fades.

Spencer Adams Segment
We cut to a small room in the back where an AW doctor is busy checking over the wounded ribs of Spencer Adams. Adams winces in pain with every touch while a stubborn determination remains in his expression. Doctor: I donāt know about this..Spencer Adams: You know I don'tā take no for an answer.Doctor: Thereās just no way. We could be looking at long term damage if I clear you and thatās on me if something happens.Spencer Adams: Try to look at it from my position.Doctor: I get it, itās just that-The door to the room is sent swinging open against the wall as the hardcore champion bolts forward with a boot to the ribs of the seated Spencer Adams. Billy: OH MY GOD!!The doctor scrambles out of harm's way as Matthias Mintzel yanks his target forward and digs a shoulder into his midsection and lifts him up with his arms secured around Spencerās waist. Chris Avery: WHATS HE DOING?!He pivots towards the doorway and charges forward with Spencer in his grasp. The sound of flesh colliding against the cement wall on the opposite side of the hallway gives off a harsh thud as Spencer collapses, struggling to breathe while Matthias towers over him with eyes red and body tense. A swarm of additional medics rush the scene as security forces Matthias to back up and the camera quickly cuts away. Billy: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!?Chris Avery: MATTHIAS MINTZEL JUST PUT SPENCER ADAMS BACK DOWN .. AGAIN!
We fade into a commercial with Spencer coughing up a lung.

Jayson Price vs. Steven Christopher
The arena goes dark, "I'm too Sexy by Right Said Fred comes through the speakers. A spotlight appears at the top of the ramp to shine on a very well dressed man in a very nice purple suit, mirrored aviator sunglasses don his face, his long blonde hair in a tight ponytail behind his head. He struts down the ramp with the confidence of a billionaire carrying a single red rose in his right hand. As he walks to the ring he seems to notice a beautiful woman in the crowd, he goes to her and hands her the rose and kisses her hand. The man with her probably her husband seems upset and has some words with the superstar. The superstar then floors the man with an open hand slap and the husband crumbles to the floor. The superstar then kisses the woman long and deeply and continues to the ring. As he enters the center of the ring sparks fall from the heavens, he takes a couples spins and grabs his suit and yanks, the whole suit tears away in one piece and he throws it out of the ring and flexes for the ladies in attendance. Billy: He's in a hotly contested match here!Chris Avery: Christopher needs a win! He's going against Price, who also needs a win!"The Cell" by Gojira hits the arena speakers as the lights dim down. When the drums kick in, pyro goes off from the big screen and stage. The crowd lets out a mixed reaction as a spotlight comes down onto the stage and Jayson Price walks out from the back, staring out at the crowd and then focusing on the ring. Adilene Floyd: From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania... weighing in at 260 pounds... JAYSON PRICE!Price starts walking down the ramp, ignoring the outstretched hands of the fans, until he reaches ringside where he rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and heads for his corner. Price stays leaning against the turnbuckles until the bell rings. Billy: Price is 0-1, lets see how tonight goes!DING DING DING Price comes across the ring but so does Christopher but Price ducks and turns Christopher around into a DDT! Billy: WHOA!Chris Avery: That'll put Christopher on notice!Price rolls to his feet and taunts with the crowd who is loving every second of Price being back in a ring! Christoper rolls to his feet but Price hits the superkick! Billy: PRICE CHECK!!Price then follows it up with the Cutter! Chris Avery: CRAVATE CUTTER!Price jumps up and is feeling it from the crowd, he turns around and Christopher stumbles up to his feet and Price hits the bicycle kick to the face of Christopher sending him down! Billy: Explosia!!Chris Avery: Thats it!One! Two! Three!! DING DING DING Billy: PRICE IS VICTORIOUS IN AN AW RING!Chris Avery: GOOD ON HIM!The crowd loves it as Jayson Price pops up and leans on the ropes, thrusting, taunting, posing, doing his gimmick. Billy: I can't believe it! It's 2021 and Price is winning matches in Action Wrestling!Chris Avery: Things get crazier every year around here!We cut to a commercial break.

SCW Outsiders Segment
We come back from commercial as Steven Christopher is still in the ring from his match with Price. A ref is trying to help him but the crowd is buzzing as three huge men are walking through the crowd and they jump the barricade! One of them yells by the announcers desk and grabs a mic from Adilene Floyd and rolls into the ring. The ref and Christopher are in the corner still as the three men get into the ring. General Lee has a microphone. General Lee: My name is General Lee and I AM THEEEEEEE SCW United States Champion, ya dick-slappers and you need to listen up!

General Lee: Action Wrestling has put WCF out of business, they bought up the library to UCI like it was nothing, we've seen Action Wrestling buy out Trinity Wrestling like it was a milk crate of nick-nacks at a garage sale and then dump it into the trash can and ended their whole community!Crowd is buzzing. General Lee: Is APW even on Netflix anymore? They took it off the front page, barely find it as it slowly circles the toilet drain of life and you think Southern Championship Wrestling's three biggest stars are just going to sit back and let your billion dollar company throw money at our piece of shit president and just buy us out? Hell no, cheese-dicks, that's not happening on our watch!Crowd is buzzing. General Lee: No, we're taking matters into our own hands. There isn't a superstar in the back that can touch us, that can do what we do week in and week out! Joe Smoke is a powerful World Champion, ya know what?

David Sanchez and Carter Shaw Segment
We cut to a live camera in the back of the Hoosier Arena, Jenna Bauer moving through the corridor leading from a parking lot to the row of locker rooms. She is looking around, clearly for someone in particular, as she looks over her shoulder to the camera operator. Jenna Bauer: You said he was here, are you sure?Billy: Does Jenna know theyāre live?Chris Avery: I donāt know but it seems like she was trying to catch an arrival.The cameraman doesnāt answer, holding professional silence as he knows theyāre live in the arena. Jenna looks into several open doors to empty rooms before coming up to the bigger suite locker rooms. Coming out of the Lost Breed quarters is David Sanchez, stepping out into the hallway into Jennaās path. She stops, but simultaneously her eyes light up. Jenna Bauer: Mr. Sanchez! Hi, can we get a word?Sanchez is already turning his body in the other direction, looking to avoid the interview, but his eye catches the light on the camera as he looks into the lens and knows heās locking eyes with millions of people. He lets out a growl of frustration, spinning his body around aggressively to face Jenna. David Sanchez: Do you know who I am, Jenna? Thatās a stupid question, ofcourse you do. Iāll leave the stupid questions to you. I know what you want to talk about and Iāll tell you right now...buying into Shawās smokescreen and chest-puff puts you in a category of so many people. So many people who have thought they could take down the Mayor Of SICKAGO.Jenna Bauer: Shaw did say last week tha-David Sanchez: Jenna, shut the fuck up. I know what he said. But the world listened with a collective sigh and a mass feeling of disappointment at Carter Shawās continued naivete. Iām David Sanchez. Iām a Colombian killing machine with little left to lose and nothing of worth to gain. What? A multi-billion dollar company and a suspiciously long stint as elected leader of Chicago? Sure, those are things I can lose, technically speaking. But to a man of Shawās disposition? Highly doubtful. Not because he lacks the ambition to lead, no. But because heās all too happy to follow the orders handed blindly down from some nondescript management above, by way of some wallflower, resting bitch-face mouthpiece with no relatable ring experience.As Sanchez speaks heatedly, Jennaās attention starts to get drawn off camera, as does Sanchezās finally as a group of men approach the group. Dressed in black, officers come filing in from the direction of the parking lot. Jenna hops to the side as David Sanchez tries to fully assess the situation. Officer: Mr. David Sanchez, youāre under arrest for hum-David Sanchez: wait, wait, wait. Indianapolis P.D., are you fucking joking? No local cops have ANY jurisdiction to bring me in, do you know who I am? Iām an ELECTED official. You donāt have the means or justific-Officer: Weāre not Indianapolis P.D., Mr. Sanchez.Sanchez squints at the man, letting his eyes fall to the badge on the black blazer. He leans a bit closer to read. David Sanchez: Feds?! What the fuck, you get Agent Pedroia on the phone right now, he will tell you that you just wasted 5 bucks of gas and a whole hell of a lot of tax payersā dollars taking the time to come down here.As Sanchez talks, heās being locked in handcuffs behind the back, circled by Federal Agents as he scoffs it off, shaking his head. He looks as if heās about to explode in a bout of physicality towards the feds until the man locking in the cuffs says somethingā¦ Fed: Agent Pedroia is no longer with the bureau, Mr. Sanchez. And our new director? Not so keen on looking the other way.Sanchezās body language changes a bit as he starts to get semi-dragged through the hallway, resisting slightly while also walking with the agents. They bring him all the way to the parking lot, the camera hot on the trail, as they bring Sanchez up to a black police SUV. As theyāre about to put him in the back of the car, Sanchezās eyes dart up to see Carter Shaw standing nearby, arms crossed. He snarls for a moment, but it slowly turns into a chuckle...then into a maniacal laugh. David Sanchez: Iām impressed, Shaw. Is that what you wanted? You wanted to impress your Daddy? Go back to your Philidor bitches and tell āem you canāt hold a God down.He gets put in the car and the door is shut as he speaks over Miranda rights being read to him. Shaw slowly smirks as he watches the spectacle dissipate. Jenna Bauer re-appears next to Shaw, as he turns to both her and the camera. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a couple of hundred dollar bills, slapping one in Jennaās hand and one to the operator of the camera. Carter Shaw: Couldnāt have it go down without some entertainment value.His eyes slowly drift to the lens, as the crowd noise can be heard even from the parking lot. Mostly cheers born out of distaste for David Sanchez. Carter Shaw: Sanchez thought he just fucked with some knuckle boxer from Boston. But unfortunately for him? ALL the years of do-gooders and opposing politicians trying to bring this man down?He leans in real close to the lens, intense blue eyes taking over. Carter Shaw: He aināt EVER had something like Philidor Holdings to contend with. Donāt get me wrong, this wasnāt their idea. No. This? Was a personal project.Shaw walks away, grabbing the All-In briefcase he had set down to the side, as the cameras cut back to the arena. Billy: We just watched David Sanchez get arrested live on Clash! I can't believe this! After weeks of Shaw conspiring to find a way to 'bring Sanchez down' ...Well...Will this one stick?! Did Carter Shaw just finally take down the Mayor Of Chicago David Sanchez??Chris Avery: I doubt it. But Sanchez...his body language did change a little bit there after he asked for a specific federal agent. I donāt know what to make of this.Billy: Neither do I, Chris, but Iāll tell ya one thing. Mr. All-In Carter Shaw seems to have found quite a few strings to pull. Does Philidor really have that many connections?

A Follow Up Segment From 2 The Max!
The show goes to just outside the executive suite of Dr. Reginald Royce, lead physician at Devilās Gate Correctional Facility. A ruckus is heard as Twiztid Insane and Charlie Evans are escorted by Hoosier Arena security. They knock on the door and Pete Harper answers. Pete Harper: Hello there.D: Petey Harper! Tell these chumps that we belong up here!Twiztid Insane: Theyāre straight up discriminating against us because weāre Juggalos!Security Officer: Sir, theseā¦ menā¦ say they are invited guests of yoursā¦Pete Harper: Of course they are. Donāt you recognize this man? This is Twiztid Insane. He works for Action Wrestling.Security Officer: Oh! Well I didnāt know because they lookā¦ uhhā¦Pete Harper: Finish that sentence and youāll be unemployed within the hour.The security officer eats crow and leaves with his tail between his legs. Pete Harper: Iām sorry about that, guys. Please, come in.Twiztid Insane: It happens, man. More often than it should.The duo enters the suite and they are in awe. Twiztid Insane: Movinā on up! To the eeeeeastside!D: This is dope, Petey.From across the room, they see Dr. Royce standing by the glass as he watches the crowd below. Dr. Royce turns around. Dr. Royce: Welcome, gentlemen. Make yourselves at home.He points to the buffet of appetizers. Twiztid and Charlie fill up plates like thereās a stampede at the neighborhood barbeque. Once finished, they meet up with Dr. Royce as he shows them to the deluxe leather chairs. Twiztid Insane: Daaaaamn. I could get used to this, doc.Dr. Royce: If all goes well today, you will have that opportunity, Mr. Insane. As you are aware, I have followed your career closely since you arrived in Action Wrestling. Your work has been exceptional, aside from the slight error last week in not winning the Television Championship.Twiztid Insane: Iāll get him next time.Dr. Royce: I believe that. Had you had the proper support, you could have won last week.D: Hey!Dr. Royce: I donāt mean to imply youāre not good enough, Mr. Evans. I only meant that there is so much potential here that an organization such as ours could help to support.Pete Harper: Devilās Gate is much more than a Correctional Facility. Weāve got our hands in a number of cookie pots, so to speak. Community outreach. Philanthropy. Politics at all levels. Obviously professional wrestling. What we are hoping to enhance is our digital media reach. Thatās where you come in.Twiztid and Charlie take a break from stuffing their faces with appetizers. Dr. Royce: Your work on Juggalo TV is impressive. Weāve seen the numbers and the response to your product. There is so much untapped potential there.Twiztid Insane: Hold up. Would all of this mean working more with Der Metzger?D: Homie is kinda scary, man. I donāt know if thatās a good idea.Twiztid Insane: We slayed those Batesville Boyz in our debut though.Dr. Royce: Just imagine the possibilities if you were to come to work for Devilās Gate.Pete Harper: I think it would be best to only imagine for now. Letās get these cameras out of here and finish this conversation. There are someā¦ particularsā¦ that shouldnāt be discussed live on Clash.D and Twiztid set their plates down and they intimidate the camera man out of the suite as we return to the regularly scheduled program.

Odin Balfore Via Satellite
We cut to Nate Burelson backstage with a TV next to him that shows Odin Balfore. Nate Burleson: Action Wrestling, Iām here with the brand new United States, Champion, Odin Balfore via satellite. Now Odin, its been a long time since your last title reign, almost an entire year. How does it feel to finally have gold after such a long time.Odin Balfore: Itās a great feeling to have gold on my shoulder again after a long time. With everything that Jaice put me through it shows that what goes on in that ring isnt dictated by the idiots that run around the office.Nate Burleson: Any thoughts on the state of America, considering that you are now its champion.Odin Balfore: America is the land of survivors, those that donāt quit. But there is a lot of darkness in this country and you are starting to see that come to light. Iām sure I donāt need to tell you the dangers that come with that but to those watching. In these uncertain times with all this chaos, you need a champion that knows that darkness. One I cultivated, thrived in it and made a living off of it. Last Week, Howard Black fought hard but the one thing I had more than anyone else was grit. It takes a lot to be in this business as long as I have and I can tell you that Iāll be in this business when a lot of these guys have retired. America keeps going and so donāt I. Iāll get my revenge and reclaim my place a top Action Wrestling. But this United States Championship is a fine first step.Nate Burleson: Thanks Odin, Back to you guys at the arena

FPV Segment
"Turbo Killer" suddenly plays on the P.A, and Frank Venable emerges from the curtains, his great rage over the past two weeks' events clear on his face. He storms down to the ring with a microphone in hand, ignoring the fans down the ramp for once. Billy: My god, look at how angry Frank is tonight, Chris!Chris Avery: Can you blame the man?! His entire world was turned upside down two weeks ago by that monster James Nightingale. And while we know Nightingale is not here tonight, we should all know that he doesn't have to be in the arena to bring you misery, so Frank should still watch his back here.Frank enters the rings, waits for his music to fade out, and takes a few heavy breaths before speaking. FPV: Ladies and gentlemen, you see before in this very ring a man with his back against the wall. A man who has made terrible, terrible mistakes the past few weeks. You see a man who is beginning to run out of options.
Now when it comes to Nightingale, I was a fool to think him someone I could easily take down. No, no he's proven that he's so much more than that. I've seen what happens first hand when you do not take Nightingale lightly, and I've paid the price for it. My brother, Vic...Frank can't even finish the sentence before chants of his brother's name ring out all through the arena. Crowd: Vic! Vic! Vic! Vic! Vic! Vic! Vic! FPV: NO! Stop, stop that right now! STOP.Suddenly, the crowd goes silent. FPV: Don't you dare chant his name back at me just to remind me what a charity case my poor fucking brother has become in your eyes. Those words Nightingale said last week? True. I went to the clinic and checked. Vic Venable, my fucking blood is in a catatonic state right now and I dunno if I'll ever get him back. I've gotta live with that for the rest of my life. And by chanting his name all that you're doing is reminding me that I fucked and reminding my brother's poor fiance that I've ruined her life. So as much as I love you guys, for the love of god just SHUT UP..Dead. Silence. FPV: Now I know that I've got to wait until Revolution to get my hands on that bastard Nightingale and make something out of this whole terrible experience. But if you're thinking that I'm just gonna bide my time until Revolution, then you're damn mistaken. Cause I had to look deep within myself, within the annals of wrestling history to find something to use against him. Something so powerful, so intense that it'll make him feel just a sliver of the pain that he's caused me. I looked, and I think I found the solution.
I'm not booked this week, but if you've got the balls to come out here and face a man like me on a stage like this, then come out. Come out and try your best, I can guarantee you it won't be enough.Frank drops the microphone, and waits. Eventually, generic music begins playing on the P.A as a nondescript, mid twenties white male in generic black wrestling trunks appears from the curtain. Billy: I'm being told from agents in the back that this is John McCullen, a local talent from right here in Indianapolis looking to make his mark on the Action Wrestling scouting team. And a win against our only three time World Champion might just do that, Chris.Chris Avery: I wouldn't hold your breath, Billy. If what Frank says is true, then he might have something nasty hidden up his sleeve against this guy.John enters the ring as the ref calls for the bell! DING DING DING John extends his hand towards Frank as a sign of respect. Frank considers shaking it...ONLY TO INSTEAD SUPERKICK THE POOR JOURNEYMAN. Billy: OH JEEZ! HEadshot right out of the gate. You were right Chris, this is definitely going to be a quickie.Frank takes the woozy McCullen, setting up into a powerbomb position, lifts him up, makes John perpendicular to the mat, and then drops down to his knees, driving the center of John McCullen's head DIRECTLY into the mat. Billy: JESUS CHRIST.Chris Avery: No way...he didn't just...The crowd is silent as FPV puts a single foot on the unconscious McCullen. One. Two. Three. DING DING DING You can hear a pin drop throughout Hoosier Arena as FPV exits the ring and walks back up the ramp. Chris Avery: On behalf of my broadcast partner Billy and all of Action Wrestling I'd like to apologize for showing what we've just shown. For those unaware, there is only one move in Action Wrestling that has been completely banned by Action Wrestling, and you just witnessed it here tonight.Billy: The Ganso Bomb. An unspeakable move that can not only end careers, but if done improperly, it can all too easily end lives as well. I'm being told that a $25,000 fine has just been levied by the higher ups onto FPV, but after what we've just seen I think that that's the last thing on his mind.Chris Avery: Indeed. This is the level of anger and desperation that Nightingale has forced upon FPV, and it's only going to get worse from here. Let's go to a commercial break and collect our thoughts, folks.Fade to commercial as EMT's check on the injured McCullen.

Andrew Stone vs. Downfall(c) Adilene Floyd: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL, and it is for the AW Television Championship! Introducing first, he weighs in at 220 lbs... "The Filth Lord"... ANDREW STONE!"Billie Jean" starts on the PA. Out steps Andrew with a big smile on his face to a chorus of loud boos from the crowd. He stops to soak it all in before slowly walking down to the ring where he awaits his opponent. Billy: SHITFIRE, IT'S GONNA BE A HELL OF A CONTEST RIGHT HERE!Chris Avery: Coming to you from the closest local dive bar, he's filthy and he wouldn't have it any other way!Billy: Stone had a helluva mountain to climb last week against the 860 pound Beefer and he pulled it off, but tonight he's gotta climb even higher to take on the TELEVISION CHAMP BABYYYY!Adilene Floyd: And his opponent... weighing in at 222 lbs... he is the AW TELEVISION CHAMPION... "The Purveyor of Anarchy"... DOWNFALL!!The arena lights dim, as the crowd goes silent and 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, the opening drum rhythm to "Mainlining Murder" begins. "Don't touch me baby your fingertips, they feel like pins across my skin Just light another cigarette so I don't regret, inviting you over Well don't hold my hand or I'll punch your face I'm a hungry rat in this hole I waste There's no blood to taste in this awful place I'm mainlining murder! I'm mainlining murder!!" As the music is kicking in harder, 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. He then shoots his fist towards the ring and shouts out to the crowd. 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. He's earned a respectful pop from the smart marks in the crowd. He cracks his neck to the side in an aggressive manner and flaps his hands out at his sides in the manner of someone just itching to get their hands dirty, and as Lars' voice reaches the roughest note of the bridge he slides in the ring, walks over to the ropes and balances himself on the second rope, and then he holds his arms up in a crossed-wrist X symbol. Then he hops down, takes off his vest, and stretches for the match. Chris Avery: This whole match escalated into a war of words over Twitter this past week, and now both men went from having no real heat with each other to wanting to tear the other man down.Billy: HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET OVER 200 CHARACTERS ON ALL THEIR TWEETS?Chris Avery: Well, I know there are apps that let you post a note that gives you enough space to -Billy: DOWNFALL WRITES TOO DAMN MUCH, RARGHL BLARGL.Downfall and Stone just stare at each other from across the ring for several seconds, Downfall not standing down in the least. The two men jaw jack and talk trash at each other. Downfall is the first to even bother approaching center ring, walking very slowly and being very methodical about this, Stone soon bull rushing forward and looking to spear Downfall in half, but he moves out of the way fairly quickly, leaving Stone to keep going across the ring and stop himself against the ring ropes. Stone turns around from the corner and looks dead at Downfall, who scurries back to his feet and into a wrestling stance, but being very cagey still. Stone begins stalking Downfall with each step he takes towards him, lunging at Downfall again, only for him to dodge that as well, but surprises Stone with a roll-up from behind. The referee: One... Kickout! Stone looks shocked as he gets to a seated position, looking at Downfall, who grins at him and lets the rookie know that he was this close to having him. Chris Avery: By his own admission, Stone is newer at this, and he's in there right now with a veteran who's wrestled for decades and has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.Stone gets to his feet, while Downfall is quickly back to his, staying out of reach of the young brawler. Andrew finally gets within striking distance, but again itās Downfall who surprises us when he darts in on one of Stoneās legs, throwing the taller man off balance and forcing him down to one knee, which Downfall uses to try and lock in the kimura lock, using all his might to wrench the arm, but Stone powers out of the move by judo tossing Downfall over his shoulder. But Downfall rolls to his feet, quickly rushing back behind the still shortened Stone and sinks in a double chickenwing. Stone resists and rises to his feet before throwing Downfall clean over his shoulders with the double chickenwings still locked in. Downfall is thrown with authority over the head of Stone, who flexes his muscles in a youthful, exuberant display of power. Downfall seems to be recalculating his approach. Stone bursts forward towards Downfall once again with a clothesline, but Downfall is able to take it, use the momentum, and actually get Stone down on the mat, once again going for the kimura, but Stone again stands up and throws his arms open, throwing Downfall back down to the canvas. Once again Downfall gets to his feet quickly, however, heās immediately beheaded by a clothesline. Downfall goes flipping on that move, Stone having to stop himself in the opposite corner there was such a charge behind that one. Billy: GOTDAYUMN.Chris Avery: Both men are around the same size, with Stone only having the advantage in height, but Stone is showing us right here that his gym days are well spent.Billy: Are you sure? Stone said Downfall had "little man syndrome" and I think there's something to that?Chris Avery: They're literally in the same weight class.Stone surprisingly doesnāt go for a cover here, instead looking down he grabs the stunned Downfall and brings him to his feet before draping him across his chest and chunking him over his body with a massive fallaway slam. He goes rolling all the way to the edge of the canvas, before he grips the limp body of Downfall and gives it a solid knee to the gut before whipping him across the ring and going for a Yakuza kick, but Downfall is still aware enough to dodge it, run off the ropes, and coming in with a dropkick. It just knocks Stone stumbling into the ropes. Downfall looks from Stone, then he goes to the ropes and rebounds again, trying for another move only for Stone to catch him in a devastating spinebuster. Stone covers. The referee: One... Two... Kickout. Downfall gets a shoulder up, before he rises to his feet clutching the base of his spine, Stone quick to follow up with another hard set of blows to the gut, then a blow to the face. Downfall is rocked off balance until he starts firing shots of his own right back at Stone, starting a flurry of blows that gets the crowd back into things, with a chop (Wooooo) followed by another chop (Woooooo), but just when he gains a head of steam, Stone turns the momentum around and shoves Downfall in a corner, kicking back and nailing several consecutive shoulder thrusts to his gut, prompting him to nearly fold up in the corner with each blow. Stone then takes him and tries to whip him into the opposite corner, but Downfall backflips over Stoneās head, sending the charging Stone to crash his chest against the corner. Billy: Downfall trying to keep Stone off his game!!Stoneās body doesnāt recoil, instead leaving him hanging in pain in the corner. Downfall sees his opening, rushes at Stone and corner dropkicks him back into the post!! Stone goes down hard, and Downfall scrambles over for the cover. The referee: One... Two... Kickout. Downfall doesnāt let the big man get to his feet, rushing over to his still downed body and attempting to wrap him up in an armbar, but Stone is able to muscle his way out of Downfallās attempt. That doesnāt stop him, however, continuing to pry at Stone until he makes it to his legs, which he finds a way to wrap up before slapping on a surfboard stretch. Downfall is pulling Stoneās head into his chest, forcing his body to contract down to his level. The crowd is eating this up, but Stone soon breaks free when his longer legs break away, Stone squatting to his feet with Downfall still clutching his head, adjusting and putting him on his shoulder for the but Downfall squiggles off, grabbing Stone and pushing him into the ropes and rolling him over for a victory roll. The referee: One... Two... Kickout. Again Stoneās powerful legs again get him out of that one, throwing Downfall pretty far as well. He makes some room between he and Stone before charging back at the Filth Lord... who nails a belly to belly suplex into the corner! Downfall folds head over heels into the corner! Billy: HE'S BROKEN IN HALF!Stoneās face is seething as he pulls Downfall out of the corner and covers. The referee: One... Two... Thr - Kickout! Stone keeps the pressure on as he lifts Downfall up into a suplexā¦and leave him in the air before bringing him back down with the delayed vertical suplex. Downfall almost seems done for, but to add insult to an already apparent injury, Stone doesnāt cover him, opting instead to kick Downfall right in the orbital bone! Stoneās foot goes right into Downfallās eye socket, leaving him rolling on the canvas in pain in an already grim situation. Stone then brings him to his feet again, lifting him over his head in a military press, walking around with him to fully display his power to a chorus of heat. Just as he prepares to put the move into something else, Downfall gets down and latches onto the head of Stoneā¦and locks in a guillotine choke! Guillotine choke! Stone starts to sink down as the submission is locked in, and Downfall's head bobs as he flexes his bicep, cutting the circulation to his head off completely with this, the front headlock submission locked in tight. His legs wrap around Andrewās body as he pulls away on the head, nearly trying to wrench the head off the snake. Stone is near powerless as he loses oxygen by the minute, dropping to his knees. Chris Avery: Downfall showing us once again how dangerous his game is, he's choking the life out of Stone!!Stone looks like he's ready to fade, and his arm drapes and falls to the mat. The referee asks Stone if he gives up and Stone weakly waves him off. The referee starts to lift Stone's arm to let it fall and see if he's out. Downfall grimaces and barks at Stone to go to sleep. However, Stone's limbs start shaking. Downfall looks from side to side as Stone begins vibrating, and even with the guillotine submission locked in, Stone rises to his knees, then to one knee and upwards, then he plunges his way down, slamming Downfall hard onto his back and breaking the guillotine. Downfall and Stone both lay out for a moment, Downfall blinking and stunned, Stone trying to get some air back in his lungs with big gasps. Billy: Turning point of the match rightchere!!Stone is the first to his feet, still gasping and feeling the effects of the guillotine choke, but he snarls down at Downfall and pulls him up by his hair and gives him a headbutt that puts Downfall on the back foot. Then Stone boots Downfall in the gut and gives him a Triple powerbomb, then he holds on and transitions Downfall onto his shoulders and finishes with a Samoan drop. Billy: Whiskey River! That could be it!The referee: One... Two... Thre- Kickout! Stone falls onto his back, breathing heavily and spent from the energy it took to do that series of moves. Chris Avery: Stone is still sucking wind from being choked for nearly a minute, and he had to use a lot of energy to hit that combo, he needs to get back in this.Billy: Ya know Chris... Stone is always spending time in bars and gyms with no apparent mask policies and he's having trouble breathing right now...Chris Avery: I know what you're getting at and yes, his opponent insisted that Stone take a test before the match this week.Billy: CAN HE TASTE ANYTHING, THOUGH?Stone gets to his feet, pulling Downfall up by the hair and walking him into the corner. He lays in a few hard back elbow shots, then he backs up to the center of the ring. He turns and talks some trash to the crowd, before turning back to Downfall and charging in for a big attempted stinger splash. Downfall moves at the last second! Stone bounces off the top turnbuckle, chest first, and he pinballs out of the corner, holding his chest in pain. Downfall plants his feet, shuffles to the side and when Stone turns, winded and gasping Downfall crushes him with a superkick that reverberates through the arena. Chris Avery: BEAST KICK!!Now it's Downfall's turn to be unable to capitalize. He threw all the venom and the energy he had into that vicious superkick, but he is on his knees, trying to shake the cobwebs out and not capitalizing on the time it's knockout shot ability gave him. Finally, Downfall rolls Stone over for a cover. One... Two... Three!! Billy: Its enough to do it! Downfall wins!Chris Avery: What a win! Downfall retains his Television Championship!Downfall sits up and can't believe it got it. He's handed his Television Championship and he gets to his feet and stumbles to the corner. Stone gets up and rolls out of the ring after a hard fought battle. Billy: Andrew Stone is for real, he's no doubt a high level player here!Chris Avery: Tonight was't his night, but he's going to have a lot more nights you watch!We fade into a commercial.

Downfall & Jaice Wilds Segment
Scene switches to Clash GM Alexander Pasternak's office, where assistant Clash GM Jaice Wilds can be seen walking in. He's patting his pockets absent-mindedly all over, mumbling to himself. Jaice Wilds: Now where did I put my phone down...Suddenly, Jaice startles, as he looks into the room, and he sees a figure sitting behind the desk, his feet propped arrogantly (and quite disrespectfully) on the desk of Alexander Pasternak. The weathered old stomping boots are purposely grinding and pushing papers out of skew and knocking over pens, and the figure attached to them is smiling like a Cheshire Cat as he leans back in the chair. Downfall smirks at Wilds. Jaice Wilds: HEY! You can't be in here! And you - You definitely can't be putting your boots all over those contracts, what are you doing??Downfall sits up in the chair, but still has that smile on his face. Downfall: I was coming to see Pasternak, but... well it appears he's out of the office. So sad. Oh well.Jaice Wilds: Well he's gonna be pissed off that you were at his desk... but... is there something you need from the Assistant Clash GM?Downfall examines his fingernails with his lips a puckered moue, pointedly disregarding Wild's attempt to assert his position. Downfall: Mmmm nahhh, this is really something the big boss would have to clear, he has more input with the Philidor heads than you do, Jaicey...Jaice Wilds: Philidor? What does Philidor have to do with...Downfall: Oh, you haven't heard? Well Jaice, it's like this... Sam Kidsgrove has been trying to petition Pasternak to take Noris Cranley out of the triple threat match.Jaice Wilds: What? But it's New Media vs Old Media vs Timeless Media! I worked hard on that letterhead myself, I fiddled with the Photoshop for six hours on -Downfall leans in conspiratorially in to Jaice, eyes darting around to make sure the ears in the walls aren't listening. Downfall: Now, you didn't hear this from me... that's why I wanted to talk to Pasternak, see if we can get Philidor's higher ups on the call with us. Kidsgrove wants Cranley out of this match because Kidsgrove says that Cranley didn't make the first challenge, so he wasn't the first representative of Philidor to step in line. Kidsgrove wants Vayden to be the public face of Philidor's media in this match.Jaice Wilds: Vayden - but Vayden isn't with this company - What - is this true? Did you really -Downfall: Would you like to see the DM's I got copied on?Sincerely, Downfall takes out a smart phone, opening it up to a Twitter account and producing a string of text. Jaice Wilds reads it over, eyes scrolling down the page. Jaice Wilds: Is that Kidsgrove's account? I thought he had the blue check mark... If that's Kidsgrove, what is his endgame here, is he trying to get this match cancelled? It's New Media vs Old Media vs Timeless Media, dammit!!Downfall just shrugs languidly and shakes his head, holding his hands up and signifying he's just the messenger. Jaice Wilds: Well, I'm gonna - I'm gonna talk to my boss about this, I worked hard on that letterhead, dammit! No, I'm gonna - I'm gonna call Philidor and let them know what Kidsgrove is trying to pull, they aren't going to cancel the match on my watch. As soon as I... find my phone...Downfall, grinning from ear to ear, slaps Wilds on the shoulder. Downfall: Got all the faith in the world in you, buddy.While he's in close to Wilds, Downfall also surreptitiously slides something in Wild's pocket. Taking one final second to give Wilds a sinister grin, Downfall exits the room. Just then, Wilds can be heard remarking to himself: Jaice Wilds: So THAT'S where I left my phone, I - Hey, who deleted all my text messages? Aww I had a cute gif of a kitten with a wizard hat I had saved in that thread to Pasternak...Downfall sighs a little to himself as he listens to Wilds get to business, but his grin is an evil grin. If Wilds does what he's planted the seed in his mind to, he'll be alerting Pasternak and Philidor to "Kidsgrove's" power moves. Downfall: And that will be enough to set some dominoes...Downfall walks off down the hall.

Matthias Mintzel Segment Billy: Earlier on tonight Matthias Mintzel absolutely destroyed Spencer Adams for the third time in three weeks, they supposedly have a Hardcore Title match in just 2 weeks.Chris Avery: Apparently someone is looking for him!Weāre backstage, Jaice Wilds is banging on a door repeatedlyā¦ Jaice Wilds: Herr Mintzel!!! HERR MINTZEL!!!!! Open the door! I know youāre in there.Jaice pauses for a second, frustrated. He thinks for second and turns roundā¦ right into the large frame of Matthias Mintzel whoās holding his hardcore title over his shoulder and looking quite proud of himself, presumably due to his assault on Spencer Adams earlier in the evening, his third in three weeks. Matthias Mintzel: What?Jaice Wilds: Ohā¦ nothing.A panicked Jaice realises heās backed up against a locked door, he cries out as he looks around. Jaice Wilds: Cormack! CORMACK!!!Matthias takes another step towards Jaice who cowers more, but as he does so Matthias feels the presence of Cormack MacNeill, Jaiceās personal security standing next to him. Matthias smiles a wry smile and takes a step back. He looks at Cormack and nods slightly at him, memories and respect from their epic wars the previous year. Matthias Mintzel: Why were you banging on a door and shouting at my name if you want nothing?Jaice tries to stand up straight again now he has some protection from Cormack. Jaice Wilds: Iāve been informed that Iā¦ with Cormacks helpā¦ have to escort you from the premises immediately. After what youāve done tonight youāre not allowed within 5 meters of Spencer Adams until your match at Revolutionā¦Matthias laughs out loud. Matthias Mintzel: My match at Revolution is cancelled.Jaice Wilds: What? Iāve not heard anything...Matthias Mintzel: Itās in two weeks. Spencer Adams is injured for months after what I've done to him. Iām having the night off.Jaice Wilds: Well if Spencerās injured I think weāre supposed to find a replacement? Mister Pasternak told me...Matthias raises his eyebrows. Matthias Mintzel: A replacement? I donāt think anyone wants a piece of me with less than two weeks notice. Joe Biden and The White House mean nothing to me, Iāll have the day off and you guys play up to your new overlord that day, how about that?Jaice Wilds: I really thinkā¦Matthias Mintzel: You really think what?! Fine, how about this, you find a replacement. You tell me, next week, who Iām against at Revolution and if you canāt find anyone then youāre my opponent.Jaice Wilds gulps, even with Cormack stood next to him. Without really thinking he nods in a acceptance. Mintzel laughs again. Matthias Mintzel: I hope for your sake you find someone.Matthias turns to walk away, then stops himself and looks at Cormack MacNeill. Matthias Mintzel: And donāt try anything, stay retired, big man.Billy: Wow! Mintzel V Spencer Adams is off, according to Matthias anyway.Cormack and Jaice look at each other as Matthias walks away. Jaice Wilds: Whats 5 meters?
Cormack and Jaice shrug.Billy: Matthias has been on the warpath since he won the Hardcore Title and Spencer Adams has suffered for it, sounds like weāre not gonna see Adams for months from what Matthias just said.Chris Avery: And we might have Mintzel vs. Wilds as a replacement!Billy: Unless he can find someone else, would you fancy it?Chris Avery: No chance, keep me away from that big, angry German!Billy: Weāll see what happens next week!

Frank Lowe vs. Randy Buster
Some Kind of Monster by Metallica is playing loud and the older fans react and the newer fans are still getting used to this old man, however Randy Buster walks himself down the ramp high-fiving some of the fans along the way. He walks up the steel steps and wipes his feet on the apron and steps through the ropes a bit gingerly but still pulls it off with the same pizzazz from his early years. He goes to the turnbuckles and climbs up to the middle rope and poses and smiles for the camera phones. He misses the flash bulbs popping off but he's still happy to be in the ring where he belongs. He's ready for the match up. Billy: He looks a bit abused and used since that First Blood match but Buster assures us he's ready!Chris Avery: It's hard going toe to toe with Zaigon Carter for months then coming out of it to tell the story! Buster has done just that!The opening guitar riff of āIf You Want Bloodā by AC/DC hits the PA, and Frank Lowe walks out onto the stage smoking a cigarette. Frank snears at the crowd as he walks down the ramp. Adilene Floyd: From Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 256 pounds, he is RAGINGā¦ FRANKā¦ LOWE!Frank reaches the ring and stubbs his cigarette out on the bottom of his wrestling boot before flicking the butt into the audience and climbing into the ring to await the start of the match. Billy: Lowe has been locked into this violent story with Corey Bull as of late!Chris Avery: I believe Bull wants Lowe at Revolution in two weeks! and Bull wants to retire The Hangmen!Billy: I have a hard time believing Lowe would let that happen but Corey Bull is a god damn monster!DING DING DING Buster and Lowe circle the ring like two old-school styled wrestlers and they tie up! Buster gets the advantage but Lowe hits a knee to the stomach and shoves Buster into the corner! Lowe goes for another attack but just stops for a second looking at Buster. He shows him pity. This isn't the man he used to see on television. Buster hits a right hand! Billy: Whoa!Buster hits a second right hand! A third right hand! Buster whips Lowe to the ropes and hits a back body drop! Chris Avery: Randy Buster comin' alive!Lowe gets up and Buster hits a running clothesline sending Lowe down to the mats! Buster leans on the ropes as the crowd pops! Chris Avery: This is somethin'! Buster taking Lowe to the limit!Buster turns around and goes for another clothesline but Lowe ducks and shoves Buster into the ropes and then kicks him in the gut.. Buster stops dead in his tracks and Lowe grabs the head of Buster and just chokes him for a minute with his arm across his throat and then drops him with a DDT! Lowe sits next to Buster for a second. Billy: I don't think Lowe wanted to drop him!Chris Avery: Frank Lowe was a fan of Randy Buster in the 80s and 90s! This might be hard for Lowe!Lowe gets up and thinks for a second and turns Buster over for a pin! One! Two! Lowe pulls Buster up. Billy: Whats this!?Chris Avery: I'm not sure!Lowe grows more and more frustrated, disappointed, angry.. He picks up Randy Busters old body and puts him in another front headlock but this time he throws his arm over.. Billy: Whats he doing here?!Lowe lifts him up.. AND FRANK LOWE DELIVERS A BRAIN BUSTER OF HIS OWN! Chris Avery: A BRAIN BUSTER ON RANDY BUSTER!!Billy: LOWE JUST GAVE BUSTER THE BRAINBUSTER, THE MOVE RANDY CREATED 40 YEARS AGO!Lowe sits there against the body of Buster and Lowe just turns him over and covers. One! Two! Three! DING DING DING Billy: This is over!Chris Avery: Frank Lowe is victorious!His music hits as Lowe turns Buster over towards the apron to get him out of the ring. Lowe gets up and snarls as the ref who tries to raise his arm. Lowe raises both of his arms and celebrates to his own tune/vibe. Billy: Lowe put Buster down with his finisher, We've seen Lowe do that before to past rivals!Chris Avery: Lowe is a very dirty man, who will disrespect everyone and everything. He's vile.We fade into a commercial as Lowe is continuing to pace around the ring like a winner.

Frank Lowe Segment
In the backstage area, Jenna Bauer stands by for an interview with Raging Frank Lowe. Lowe is creepily leering at Jenna, as she professionally executes her intro for the audience. Jenna Bauer: With me tonight is Raging Frank Lowe!Lowe stares a hole through Jenna. Jenna Bauer: Frank...Lowe interrupts. Raging Frank Lowe: Jenna? Havenāt we done this dance before? I told you to get lost, right? Why the fuck shouldnāt I do that again?Jenna lets out a sigh. Jenna Bauer: Just let me do my job. Please?Lowe smirks and winks at Jenna. Raging Frank Lowe: Since you asked so sweet, why not, honey?Lowe motions for her to proceed, and she rolls her eyes before asking her first question. Jenna Bauer: Uh, thanksā¦ So last week, Corey Bull informed the world of what his choice was of a stipulation for the match between the two of you at Revolution. Letās take a look at a flashback from last week.The shot comes back to Jenna and Lowe, and Loweās face wears a look of disdain. Raging Frank Lowe: Iām not doinā it, Jenna.Jenna Bauer: Youāre not doing what?Raging Frank Lowe: Iām not agreeing to that terroristās fucking demands, Jenna! This is between Raging Frank Lowe and Corey Bull. Itās not about Shooter or Noose. So if Corey Bull wants to try to take them away from me, he can fuck himself!Jenna Bauer: But you said he could pick the stipulation!Raging Frank Lowe: I meant shit like a cage match or a first blood or whatever would come out of the dark mind of that big dummy. Notā¦ not this bullshit!Jenna Bauer: So youāre refusing to participate in the match?Raging Frank Lowe: No, no, no. Now, donāt get so hasty, Jenna. This is a negotiation. I donāt blindly accept his conditions, but I MIGHT accept them if he accepts one of mine.Jenna Bauer: And what might that be?Raging Frank Lowe: If Bull wants the careers of my Hangmen to be on the line at Revolution, heās going to need to put some skin in the game, Jenna!Jennaās brow furrows. Jenna Bauer: Are you implying Bull would be retired if he loses?A big smile grows on Loweās face, but he shakes his head no. Raging Frank Lowe: I like what youāre thinking, Jenna, but no. Thatās not what I have in mind. At Revolution, if Corey Bull wants the careers of my Hangmen to be on the line, Iāll only agree on one condition: when I beat that stack of shit... Corey Bull becomes one of my Hangmen!Jenna Bauer: Oh my! Raging Frank Lowe: And since Iām a considerate guy, Jenna, Iāll give Corey the week to figure out if heās good on the terms of this agreement. Weāll meet in the middle of the ring next week for a contract signing. If heās in, he can sign on the dotted line and look his new boss in the fucking eye! If heās out, weāll make him our bitch instead. Lowe lets out a big hearty laugh as he walks away from the interview leaving Jenna stunned staring into the camera as the shot fades to commercial.

THE Segment
When Clash returns we see Hot Dog Robinson in the ring. Heās behind a table with two covered steamer trays and a row of condiments. Heās playing to the crowd, leading them in a sing-a-long to his theme (āHot Dogā by LMFAO) using a pair of tongs as a makeshift conductorās baton. Billy: Hahahaha! I love Hot Dog Robinson!Chris Avery: Heās all about putting smiles on peopleās faces!Finally, the music stops. HDR sets down his serving utensil and pics up a mic. Hot Dog Robinson: HEY, INDY: HOOSIERās FINNA GET A HOT DOG?Billy: Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I understood that reference!Chris Avery: Hot Dog Robinsonās having fun, Billy!The arena pops extra large because who doesnāt love it when a wrestler offers you a hot dog while simultaneously giving shout outs to your hometown and state? HDR waits for them to stop before turning solemn. Hot Dog Robinson: In two weeks Action Wrestling will be at the White House for its Revolution. Now, Iām not on the show-The news draws heat from the crowd. Hot Dog Robinson raises his hands beseeching them to stop. Hot Dog Robinson: Itās ok guys! AW has the best roster in the world. Not everyone is going to make the card. However, I still want to do my part, and pay respect to the man who invited us: the 46th President of these United States: Joseph Robinette Biden.Mixed reaction for the President-Elect. Indiana is part of Flyover Country, after all. Hot Dog Robinson: Yeah, I get it. I do. But you gotta have faith, guys. You gotta believe that the man is sincere when he says he wants to make this country whole again. Thatās why I have designed a special dish in his honor. Behold- the Biden Dog!With a flourish Hot Dog Robinson lifts the lid to one steamer. With the tongs he takes a hot dog from it. He removes the top to the second steamer and takes out a bun. He puts the frank in the bun. Then, he picks up a squeeze bottle of ketchup. Chris Avery: Wait. What is he doing? Heās going to ruin that hot dog!Half the crowd seems to agree with Averyās assessment, as they begin to jeer and scream and chant āNo!ā and generally express (righteous) dismay at the (terrible) idea of putting ketchup on a hot dog. Billy: Are you out of your mind? Ketchup goes with hot dogs like biscuits with gravy. Itās a staple!The other half of the crowd agrees with Billy, cheering Robinson on as he aims the bottleās nozzle at the undressed tube steak. He squeezes. The sad excuse for barbecue sauce oozes out, coating the split, blanched skin of the frankfurter. Chris Avery: No! Donāt do it! Somebody stop him!Billy: Keep going, Hot Dog! Slather that sausage with a weak slurry of corn syrup and tomato pureeā!HDR draws a squiggly line across the hot dog EXACTLY half way; but no more. Chris Avery: Hey! He-I-uh, wellā¦. Hm. I guess that works.Billy: Yeah. I suppose thatās good enough. Sure. Iād eat it.The packed arena seems willing to accept the compromised condiment concoction as designed by Hot Dog Robinson. They politely clap as he raises the Biden Dog high over his head with both hands. Chris Avery: I mean, at least you know that hot dog wonāt be a total embarrassment.Suddenly ā(Turn You) Inside Outā by REM blasts through the Hoosier Arenaās speakers and Circe Cicero, wearing a pink pantsuit and a no nonsense expression, stalks out onto stage. Billy: Itās Action Wrestlingās other crazy pig lady. What does she want?The Founder of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Swine gets right to the point, addressing Robinson directly by means of her own microphone. Circe Cicero: Clear the ring, death merchant! It is needed for The Peopleās business.The fans start booing Circeās arrogant demand. Hot Dog Robinson looks out to the crowd. He smiles and nods, acknowledging their support. With a shrug he replies. Hot Dog Robinson: I got a better idea, hun. How about you come down here and Iāll fix you a hot dog!The fans cheer and laugh at HDRās cheek. Circe smirks. She looks back over her shoulder. On cue, Stuart Slane walks out through the curtain carrying a long ax handle with a chain wrapped tightly around its head. Chris Avery: Oh, no.Slane, grinning unpleasantly, strolls down the ramp towards the ring. The fans are screaming now, cursing at Stu and encouraging Hot Dog Robinson to fight. He begins looking around for something to defend himself with, settling on a super heavy duty wiener fork he had in his apron. Stu reaches the ring and mounts the steps. Seeming to finally comprehend HDRās state of agitation, he pauses. He looks at his weapon. In a display of good sportsmanship he drops the ax handle before ducking between the ropes. Robinson, babyface that he is, casts aside his own foreign object but assumes a defensive position. Billy: Thatās more like it. The odds are even now!Except of course they arenāt. Stu marches up to Robinson and punts him square in the balls. Hot Dog keels over, and Slane viciously forearm clubs his head and neck. Deadlifting all 325 pounds of the street vendor, he puts him through the table with a YUUUGE belly to belly side suplex! Chris Avery: Jeezus.With some kicks Stu sweeps the remains of Hot Dog Robinson and his display outside of the ring. Circe, who has now joined Her Friend, wrinkles her nose in disgust at the lingering stench of boiled pork and jobber. She thanks Slane off-mic before addressing the Action Wrestling Universe. Circe Cicero: Revolution is two weeks away. My Client, Stuart Slane, is not booked. Serendipitously, the man whose open challenge he accepted EIGHT MONTHS AGO is also not scheduled to compete. See where this is going? There are no more excuses! Alexander Pasternak, We DEMAND that you do the right thing. Make this match happen! Stuart Slane! Howard Black! One on one! No titles, no stipulations, no third parties necessary. Just two of AWās best fighting for pride! The Lost Boy versus The Last Honest Man in Professional Wrestling! LETāS! DO! THIS!No sooner do the words leave her lips than āEndzeitā by Heaven Shall Burn hits the PA. The arena goes largely quiet, the audience on bated breath as the former United States Champion steps through the curtain, his face blank and emotionless. Chris Avery: Well, former Champion said it best himself: itās such a long way down.Billy: From 2020ās Wrestler of the Year to being on the outside looking in just two weeks later. Couldnāt have happened to a nicer guy.Blackās steps are deliberate and slow as he walks the ramp, his eyes peering from beneath his upturned hood. And the base of the ring, he pauses. His eyes dart between Slane and Cicero before he turns to the stairs and climbs them, then ducks between the ropes to enter the ring. His music dims as he walks up to the Scoutmaster, raising a microphone as he looks up at his foe. Howard Black: Congratulations, Stu. You beat me to it.A cry rips out of the audience as the two men stare through each other, a look of anger from the Scoutmaster met by a blank, opaque gaze from the Lost Boy. Howard Black: Thereās no belt in the way. No side business. No Sam Kidsgrove, and no Joey Flash. No excuses. All there isā¦He pauses, allowing the crowd to hang on every careful word. Howard Black: ā¦ is you. And me. And Revolution.The crowd explodes again. Billy: Yāknow both of these guys can go to hell, but goddamn if I donāt wanna see them get this off their chests.Chris Avery: The hostility between Stuart Slane and Howard Black has been at a boil for months now, but never forget these men once shared mutual respect. Then it all changed at Clash 100.Howard Black: What dāya say, Stu? Neither of us can afford to lose another match so soon, and neither want that next one to be to the other. All on the line.Despite getting exactly what he wants. Slane does not seem happy. He nods brusquely and then requests Circeās mic. Stuart Slane: I say yes, Howard, but I canāt help but notice a certain lack of affect in your demeanor. Itās almost as if youāre reluctant to be out here. Why is that? Itās not cowardice. Youāre not scared of fighting me. I think the reason is youāre mad Iām the only option you have to be part of Revolution.A look of concern forms on Circe. She shifts her position so sheās in the big manās eye line and tries to get his attention. It fails, as Slane is either ignoring her or too focused on Black to notice. Stuart Slane: Well, stay mad, Howard. Youāre going to need that fuel when I finally get you in the ring alone. Because beating you will be my legacy. More than the Tag Titles. More than even the Peopleās Title. While you might consider our match a consolation, itās EVERYTHING to me, and I will do ANYTHING to win it.He throws up three fingers. Stuart Slane: Scoutās Honor.Howardās eyes shift from Stuās face to the hand sign. He regards it for a moment, a sign of emotion finally crossing his face in the form of a thin smile. He looks back to Slane as he raises the microphone back to his mouth. Howard Black: Good.The statement provokes Stu to break into a grin of his own; one much more manic. Smiling and nodding, he backs to the ropes, hooks his arms, and flips himself out of the ring. He walks away, leaving Circe to exit by way of the steps, but not before she gives Howard the stink eye. Chris Avery: Well, itās finally happening. Stuart Slane versus Howard Black: mano a mano.
Billy: Canāt wait! Love me a good grudge match, Chris!
As the camera shows Howard Black standing alone in the ring watching Stu retreat, Clash goes to commercial.

The sun begins to set on another long hot day in the desert. Now there's almost ten men sitting around a campfire they've built out of an old metal trash can. They're all sitting in chairs and hay stacks.
Some of them are sitting back relaxing smoking a joint, some of them are passing a moonshine glass back and forth, another lowers his cowboy hat and leans back to fall asleep.
The sun begins to rise over a cactus in the desert and the men are all lifting very long pieces of metal and carrying them to a big truck with a crane in the back of it.
We see the sweat pouring down on one of the tanned men with no shirt on. We see the close up tattoos of snakes and crosses on another man. We see a man rub his beard of all the sweat. We see a man pour a bucket of water over him to stop the hot weather from taking over his body.
The scene fades out.
