This is the moment that every man and woman competing lives for…this is the moment where legends are created, where the average man becomes an icon. It’s the defining moment where you have the chance to go down in history being remembered as one of the greatest ever. This is Wrestlemania II, Thy WWE’s second anniversary, and the moment is finally upon us.
---
A video package greets us on the screen first, it’s highlights from last year’s inaugural Wrestlemania, we see the Tag Team Title victory of Austin Starr and Kenneth Walker over Jonny Freeman and Raven. After the Shooting Starr is landed, it switches to highlights from the Celtic Championship main event that headlined that show. Several more superstar highlights, ending with a shot of a grinning Vince McMahon ends our video clip and we are taken to the sold out Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. All throughout the venue, we can see fans showing their love for their favorite superstars, after a quick pan we are immediately taken to ringside where we see several superstars in the ring and ringside to see a beaming Don Chuckles and Phil Latio.
Don Chuckles: Ladies and Gentleman, the moment you have been waiting for is finally here. WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA!
Phil Latio: About damn time.
Don Chuckles: What was that Phil?
Phil Latio: Oh uh, nothing. I’m just glad we are finally doing this.
Don Chuckles: Tonight a lot of scores are going to be settled; tonight a lot of memories are going to be forged. Tonight is a night that nobody on the roster will ever be able to forget.
Phil Latio: And it starts with our first match Donny boy, a battle roy-ale!
Match 1: Opening Match Battle Royal
(For those not booked elsewhere on the card)
Phil Latio: An interesting mix we have here, but nonetheless, this is a great opportunity for one of these young superstars already standing in the ring to make an impact here.

All five competitors immediately rush forward, and it soon turns into a flat out brawl. Ana takes down Teatly with a hurricanrana, but as soon as she gets up she is nailed by a clothesline from Alex Riley. In the other corner, KO and Swag are trading punches, but Swag gets the upper hand, knocking KO to the mat. Swag begins to perform a moon walk and the crowd cheers loudly, as he finishes it off with a running leg drop.
Phil Latio: The Moon Walker! Impressive start here for Swag A Licious!
Riley runs to the other corner to save his friend, but Swag avoids the blow by doing the splits, and Riley crashes into the turnbuckle. Riley gets to his feet as Swag is dancing around, and repeatedly punches Riley in the face until he drops as well, hitting the "Sweat Dance". In the corner Teatly is up and stomping on Ana, but all of a sudden the crowd erupts at a strange time, but we soon find out why as someone runs down the ramp from backstage.
Don Chuckles: Is that...
Phil Latio: Yes! Its Captain Creambeard! What is he doing here?!
Captain Creambeard slides into the ring, and begins to gyrate his hips, and Captain Teatly turns around, staring at him in confusion. Creambeard grabs his crotch firmly, then grabs Teatly by the hair, throwing him over the top rope. Creambeard exits the ring and shouts "I'm the only Captain here! Yahar!", before running back up the ramp to the backstage area.
Don Chuckles: A rather strange moment in this battle royal...
Phil Latio: Not the first, and probably not the last.
Ring Announcer: Captain Teatly has been eliminated!
Meanwhile, the numbers game has caught up to Swag, as Riley and KO stomp him in the corner. Ana is back up to her feet, and runs to the opposite corner, leaping over KO and Riley, and onto the turnbuckles. She leaps back wards and twists her body with a spinning elbow that catches Riley in the side of the head, dropping him like a sack of potatoes.
Don Chuckles: Analise is looking very impressive here.
KO approaches her, but gets drop kicked for his efforts. Ana climbs the top ropes and hits a shooting star press on Riley. She drags Riley to his feet, jumps into the air, and uses a hurricanrana to flip him over the top ropes, as she holds onto the ropes, and then pulls herself back in.
Phil Latio: I think she might win this one Don!
Ring Announcer: Alex Riley has been eliminated!
As Ana turns around, she spots Swag spinning his arms in a circle, and he yells out "ITS HAMMER TIME!" and thrusts himself forward into her, knocking her down. He continues to dance around, lost in the moment, as KO comes from behind and bundles him over the top rope.
Ring Announcer: Swag A Licious has been eliminated!
Don Chuckles: We're down to two here Phil, my money is on KO
Phil Latio: Well I have to disagree with you Don, Analise has looked fantastic, and I don't see her losing her steam
The remaining two, KO and Analise, stare each other down, and lock up. KO uses his strength advantage as he begins to push her towards the corner, but Analise takes KO down with an arm drag. KO gets to his feet, and Ana fires off a clothesline, but KO ducks, and hits her with a dropkick. She rolls back up to her feet as KO is charging, but she sidesteps and takes him down with a toe drop hold. She spins to KO's side, and grabs the arm, locking in a fujiwara arm bar, pulling back wards. KO screams out in pain, and Ana eventually releases it.
Don Chuckles: A good move to inflict pain, but it won't win the match!
Phil Latio: Yep, she will have to toss him over the top rope
Ana runs to the ropes and springboards off them, coming off with a moonsault, but KO moves out of the way as she crashes into the mat. KO picks her up and hits a quick impact DDT. He picks her up again, and tosses her over the top rope, turning around to celebrate, he doesn't notice Ana skin the cat and get back onto the apron. Ana jumps to the top rope, bounces off and leaps into the air, nailing KO just as he turns around with a high cross body. She picks him up and tosses him to the ropes, but KO reverses. As Ana is about to bounce off the ropes, out of nowhere Riley pulls the top rope down, as Analise tumbles out of the ring.
Don Chuckles: KO wins! KO wins at Wrestlemania! Wow!
Phil Latio: Alex Riley with the assist...but nonetheless, KO has achieved victory here.
DING DING DING!![/b]
Ring Announcer: Here is your winner....K.Orton!
Alex Riley rolls into the ring and KO and Riley embrace in a warm, friendly hug. Riley then raises KO's arm into the air and they celebrate before heading backstage.

"The Saviour" Jacob Senn vs. Drew McIntyre
(Thy WWE Intercontinental Title)
Don Chuckles: Phil I’ve been told that no matter the outcome of Jacob’s title defense that he will still compete in the Ladder Match immediately following the conclusion of this contest.
Phil Latio: That sucks…for him, hehe.
The crowd begins to cheer in anticipation of the match, as the ring announcer takes a moment to pause and let the crowd react.
Drew McIntyre's music is heard and almost immediately the arena is drowned out in boos. Drew McIntyre steps out onto the stage with a smirk on his face, and Jim Cornette not far behind.
Ring Announcer: And introducing first the challenger, from Ayr, Scotland. Weighing in at two hundred and fifty six pounds...the Sinister Scotsman...Drew McIntyre!
Phil Latio: The biggest night of Drew McIntyre's career looms before him tonight Don
Don Chuckkles: Very true Phil, and tonight we'll see if Drew has been right all along, that he deserves to be the champion. Its put up or shut up tonight
Drew and Jim continue to make their way down to the ring, and eventually enter. Drew takes the center of the ring and begins to pose to the crowd, drawing more heated responses. He uses the ring ropes to stretch himself out while he awaits his opponent
Savior by Skillet hits the sound system, and the crowd gives off a completely opposite reaction, erupting in cheers for the Savior, Jacob Senn.
Ring Announcer: And his opponent, from New York City, weighing in at two hundred and forty seven pounds...The Intercontinental Champion...the Savior, Jacob Senn!
Jacob Senn does his signature pose at the top of the ramp, his eyes never leaving Drew McIntyre.
Phil Latio: Also the biggest night of Senn's career too Don
Don Chuckles: Both opponents here making their Wrestlemania debut, and boy has it been a heated rivalry these two have had since Senn won the title
Suddenly, Jacob Senn charges down the ramp, and rushes into the ring, tackling a suprised McIntyre as Cornette exits the ring, and the bell is rung.
[color=[purple]
DING DING DING!![/color][/size][/b]
Don Chuckles: Senn not wasting much time here!
Phil Latio: And we are underway, Intercontinental Championship right here at Wrestlemania Two!
After tackling McIntyre, Senn unleashes a flurry of punches to his downed opponent. McIntyre covers up to protect himself, keeping his cool, and he slips his legs upwards, and locks in a triangle choke.
Phil Latio: Early submission here, lets see if the champion can escape!
Senn manages to roll to his side and reach the ropes. Both men get to their feet, and immediately move to engage and lock up. At the last moment, Senn moves out of the way, and brings McIntyre's leg up into the air, sweeping him. As McIntyre begins to rise, Senn moves quickly, and immediately locks in an armbar with Drew on one knee. McIntyre gets to his feet, but is quickly put back down as Senn hooks the head and leg, and hits a russian leg sweep. Senn gets up and turns around, leaping into the air with a standing shooting star press, but his ribs are introduced to McIntyre's raised knees, causing Senn to clutch at them in pain, rolling around on the mat. Drew gets up and stomps at the back of Senn's head, and then picks him up by the hair. He fires off with a huge european uppercut, connecting solidly and causing Senn to drop straight to the mat on his back.
Don Chuckles: Good matchup so far with plenty of action
Phil Latio: The intense rivalry between these two as of late definitely spilling over into this match, and you have to feel like the winner of this will have "proved their point".
Don Chuckles: I agree Phil, and I also think that they need to slow down the pace. A submission match can go for a long time, and can be a contest of endurance sometimes.
McIntyre stomps Senn again, this time in the head, causing Senn to cover up. Cornette at ringside begins to yell out instructions to Drew, telling him to slow down the pace. Drew gives a quick nod and picks up Senn, grabbing him by the hair and laying into him with a forearm shot. Senn staggers backwards into the corner, with McIntyre in pursuit, stomping him in the midsection repeatedly until he is in a seated position. McIntyre backs off for a moment, taunting Senn, who groggily gets up, exiting the corner. Drew grabs him and irish whips him to the ropes, bending down for a back body drop, but Senn kicks the bending McIntyre right in the chest.
Don Chuckles: McIntyre telegraphed that one there
Phil Latio: Give Senn credit, since becoming champion he has grown as a wrestler, and has gained some experience and ring awareness, good move there by Senn
As McIntyre recovers and straights up, he is nailed by a dropkick by Senn, sending him down to the mat. Senn brings Drew to his feet, and irish whips him to the corner. Senn charges in, and Drew lifts Senn up into the air and over the ropes, but Senn uses the ropes to land himself on the ring apron. Drew turns around and Senn launches a shoulder between the ropes, but Drew nails him with a knee right into his thrusting head, sending him tumbling to the floor. McIntyre exits the ring, and picks up Senn, irish whipping him, but Senn reverses and sends McIntyre head first into the steel post.
Don Chuckles: Great counter there by Senn
Phil Latio: McIntyre will feel that in the morning, those ring posts have no give at all
Senn grabs McIntyre, picks him up, and rolls him into the ring. Senn rolls into the ring, and again brings McIntyre to his feet. He grabs him around the neck and brings him down with a headlock takedown, holding in the headlock, wrenching it. Cornette yells at Drew as he looks like he is starting to fade, but he works his way to his feet, and lifts Senn into the air, then drops him with a back suplex. Drew brings Senn to his feet and whips him to the ropes, and as Senn comes off the rebound, Drew hits him hard with a back elbow to the chest. Drew then grabs Senn's left foot, and lifts the leg into the air, kicking at the back of his knee three times rapidly, then drops an elbow across the knee. He gets to his feet, still holding the leg, and locks in a kneebar and anklelock submission, causing Senn to scream out in pain.
Don Chuckles: Looks like an extremely painful hold there! Very smart of Drew, locking in the submission while the pain is still stinging from those strikes.
Phil Latio: We'll see if Senn taps here, but yes Drew is a very talented technician and submission specialist, and trains with some of the best. I heard he trained with Malenko recently for this match...
Senn manages to scoot his way to the ropes, finally grabbing them, and Drew releases the hold. Drew brings Senn to his feet once again, but Senn suddenly turns, and snapmares Drew to the mat. He grabs the arms and pulls them back while pushing his knee into Drew's spine in a surfboard stretch. Drew grits his teeth in pain, but Senn releases it, and Drew quickly gets to his feet. Senn had rushed to the ropes while Drew was rising, and leaps, and jumps off the ropes, hitting McIntyre with a springboard flashkick, dropping Drew to the mat. McIntyre gets to his feet again, but Senn had already run to the ropes, bouncing off them and leaping into the air, taking Drew down with a hurricanrana.
Don Chuckles: And this is the area where Senn has the advantage, he is simply just too quick.
Phil Latio: He can dazzle you with a flurry of moves before you even know what his hit you. Drew will have to find a way to ground Senn here.
Drew gets to his feet, and Senn whips him to the ropes. Senn follows him, clotheslining him right over the top rope. Senn climbs out onto the apron and turns around, back facing McIntyre. He waits until Drew rises, keeping an eye behind him, and leaps up onto the ropes, springboarding off and flying into the air towards Drew with a diving moonsault, nailing him. Senn moves over to one of the announcer's tables, and removes the covering. He brings Drew to his feet, but gets a headbutt to the face for his efforts. Undaunted, he comes back but gets nailed right in the head with a television monitor from the announcer's table. McIntyre rips the other monitor off the table, picks up Senn, and rolls him onto the table. He then moves toward the ring, and climbs up onto the ring apron, and then to the very top rope.
Don Chuckles: What is Drew doing here?
Phil Latio: This doesn't look good....
Drew suddenly brings a thumb slowly across his throat, and stands up straight, and the crowd erupts, going absolutely crazy, knowing what is coming next. Cornette is screaming at Drew at this point, half scolding half begging him not to do this.
Don Chuckles: Oh dear god no, don't do it Drew!
Drew leaps into the air, and time itself seems to go into slow motion, thousands of cameras clicking, their lights flashing as he sails through the air. Senn tries to roll off the table, but only manages to get halfway, on his stomach, as Drew crashes headfirst into Senn's lower back, and they both crash through the table.
Phil Latio: Oh my god!
Don Chuckles: Holy Jesus, Phil! That crazy bastard! Both men are broken in half!
The crowd is still going nuts at this point, and starts up an infamous chant.
Don Chuckles: Both men are hurt! That was a brutal landing, we might need paramedics out here.
Phil Latio: Thats what you get at Wrestlemania Don, nobody wants to lose. You have to be willing to pull out all the stops here to cement your legacy.
Both men are down for a long minute, but they begin to stir as the referee is about to call paramedics. Both men slowly get to their feet on wobbily knees. Drew fires off a punch, and Senn staggers backwards. He fires off a punch, causing Drew to stagger backwards. Senn fires again, but Drew sidesteps and grabs the arm, taking him down to the ground, locking in a reverse armbar.
Don Chuckles: Submissions do not count out here folks
Phil Latio: Yes but I think Drew is just trying to do more damage
Drew eventually releases the hold, and moves over to the time keeper's table, forcing the mat in a chair out of the way. He grabs the chair and folds it up, but Senn kicks to his feet as Drew swings, superkicking the chair into his face.
Don Chuckles: The Judgement! Senn hits the Judgement!
Senn then picks up the chair and cracks it across McIntyre's back. Senn tosses the chair into the ring, and brings McIntyre over there aswell, rolling him inside. Senn leaps onto the apron, and climbs the ropes. He steadies himself for a moment, and hits an elbow drop from the top rope across McIntyre's chest. He grabs McIntyre by the hair and lifts him up, then kicks at the back of McIntyre's knees, causing him to kneel, and locks in a dragon sleeper hold, or tries to atleast. Drew's mind instinctively goes back to his recent training with Malenko, and snapmares Senn forward before he can get it locked in. Drew spins to the side, picking up the chair as Senn rises, and cracks him over the head with it.
Don Chuckles: Oh, what a shot there!
Phil Latio: I think everyone in the arena heard that one!
Drew shakes his head, getting his mind focused, as Cornette screams out more directions to him. McIntyre grabs Senn's leg and drags him to the corner. Drew rolls outside the ring, and pulls Jacob forward. He takes his leg and smacks it across the ring post, as Senn screams out in pain, clutching at his leg. McIntyre takes the chair and smacks it against Senn's knee repeatedly. He throws the chair down after his is done, screaming out, his adreanaline rushing. McIntyre rolls back into the ring, and drags Senn to the center, and goes to lock in a figure four, but as he turns around to complete it, Senn pushes off McIntyre's backside with his good leg, causing him to take a few steps forward. As Drew turns around, he gets nailed with a spear by Senn.
Don Chuckles: Good quick thinking there by Senn
Phil Latio: Yes it was but you have to wonder how his leg will hold up here...
Senn gets up, grabs Drew's leg, and turns him around, locking in a single leg boston crab, and leaning backwards. Drew grabs at his hair as he feels the agony from the hold. Senn pulls him to the center of the ring as Drew nears the ropes. Eventually Drew is able to raise himself up, and uses his arms to drag himself over to the ropes which he grabs. Senn releases the hold, and waits for Drew to rise. He gives him a quick kick to the stomach, turns his body, and hits a running bulldog on McIntyre. Drew gets to his feet, and gets caught with a spinning rounghouse kick, and begins to fall to the mat. Senn grabs McIntyre's head and gives him a facebuster as he is falling. The crowd begins to cheer for Senn.
Phil Latio: Senn with a head of steam here
Don Chuckles: You can really feel the momentum swing here...
Senn bounces off the ropes, and runs toward a rising Drew, but soon regrets his decision as he gets nailed by a big boot. Senn gets to his feet, and Drew kicks at his injured knee, but before he can fall, Drew grabs him around the waist and hits a belly to belly suplex. Senn gets to his feet once again, and both men are thinking the same move, as they move go for a dropkick. Drew gets to his feet faster, and as Senn is rising, he gets nailed with a swinging neckbreaker. Still, Senn gets to his feet, and fires off a superkick, the Judgement, just as Drew is firing off another big boot, and they both nail eachother, and both men crash to the mat.
Phil Latio: Oh and both men are down! What are the chances of that?
Don Chuckles: Both men need to focus on getting to their feet first, it could give them an edge they need in this very close contest.
Drew McIntyre proves the quicker, and before Senn can rise, he locks in a double underhook submission, with Senn's face pointed downwards. Senn slowly gets to his feet, but Drew flips him up for a powerbomb to halt anything Senn had planned, but Senn reverses it into a hurricanrana. Drew rushes to his feet, but Senn bounces off the ropes and nails him with a flying forearm. In an HBK-esque moment, he kips up to his feet, but then stumbles, his knee buckling from the pain, and Drew quickly takes advantage of the moment, diving from behind and clipping him behind the knee with his shoulder. Drew grabs his legs, and crosses them, and turns around, and locks in a Texas Cloverleaf in tribute to Dean Malenko, the man who helped train him for this match. Senn screams out in pain, pounding the mat with his fist.
Don Chuckles: Texas Cloverleaf! I think Senn is going to tap!
Phil Latio: It might be the best option for him at this point, his leg looks to be in bad shape. He doesn't want to risk an injury. But yet again, this is Wrestlemania, and I think he is going to keep going Don.
Senn gets close to the ropes, but Drew just releases the hold. Instead, he picks Senn up, hooks the arms, and hits the Future Shock DDT, and smirks, grinning and posturing to the crowd.
Don Chuckles: Future Shock DDT! Senn is in a world of hurt right now
McIntyre rolls out of the ring, and goes over to the timekeeper's table again. He grabs the Intercontinental Championship belt, entering the ring with it. He holds up the title belt higih, mocking his opponent and the crowd boos loudly at the display.
Phil Latio: McIntyre now just toying with Senn
Drew gives Senn a couple stomps to the head, and continues to pose with the belt, leaning down and giving insulting words to his opponent. Out of nowhere Senn grabs Drew's ankles and sweeps him off his feet. He gets up, steps his leg through and over, and locks in a sharpshooter.
Don Chuckles: Sharpshooter by Senn! Drew thought he was out!
Phil Latio: Senn is going off pure adreanaline here! I didn't know Senn knew that move
Don Chuckles: Well it is in his arsenal, he just doesn't use it often. But he executed it to perfection!
Drew writhes in pain as Senn begins to lean backwards and wrench the hold. Senn pulls back with everything he has, trying to break Drew in half and make him tap out. Drew's hand hovers over the mat, as if he is going to tap, but balls his hand into a fist, refusing to give up. The referee asks Drew if he wants to quit, and is screamed at with a loud "NO!". Drew reaches back and grabs Senn's weak leg, and causes him to fall to the mat. Drew begins to stand up straight, still keeping a hold of the entangled legs.
Don Chuckles: We've seen this before Phil! It looks like he is countering the submission into the Highlander!
Phil Latio: If he locks that in it could be all over for Senn
Drew gets to a standing position, and almost has it locked in, but Senn manages to wriggle away. He grabs the title belt and rises to his feet quickly, leaping into Drew, smacking McIntyre in the face with the title belt. Senn gets to his feet, limping on his leg, leaning against the ropes to catch his breath. He brings Drew to his feet, and hits a twist of fate, one of his signature maneuvers. Drew gets to his feet again, and Drew nails him with a spear, throwing everything he has at him. He brings Drew to his feet once more, and hits the Judgement superkick, and Drew is down and out on the canvas.
Phil Latio: The champion is pulling out all the stops here!
Senn limps to the corner, and climbs to the top rope. The crowd goes crazy again as he haunts to the fans, signalling for his finisher.
Phil Latio: Senn is going for the Revelation here!
Don Chuckles: If Senn can pull this off and lock in that sharpshooter again, I don't see Drew having the strength to escape this time!
Again the lights flash as thousands of cameras snap, and Senn leaps into the air with a swanton bomb, getting alot of air on it. Just as he is about to crash into McIntyre, he rolls out of the way. In one fluid motion he rolls to his feet, and grabs Senn's legs as soon as they touch the mat, and he steps his leg through. He turns Senn around, crosses the ankles, and locks in a sharpshooter with an ankle lock.
Don Chuckles: The Highlander, Drew has locked in the Highlander! Senn needs to get out of this quickly!
Drew pulls Senn to the center of the ring, and Cornette screams something at Drew, and he responds by pulling back harder. Senn yells out in pain, and reaches for the ropes. He drags himself closer and closer, and reaches out again.
Don Chuckles: Just inches away!
Phil Latio: Hes going to break the hold!
Don Chuckles: No!
Drew pulls him back to the center of the ring, and in a last desperate attempt. Senn reaches back and grabs Drew's leg. Drew falls to his face, but quickly recovers, straightening up and locking it in again. While doing that, Senn was able to get closer to the ropes, just inches away. Drew leans back even further, Senn unable to get any closer, his fingertips almost brushing the ropes. With one final scream, Drew wrenches back, Senn's face being forced against the championship belt on the mat. He has no choice but to tap, and the referee nearly tackles Drew off of him as the bell is sounded.
DING DING DING!![/b][/size]
Ring Announcer: Here is your winner, and the NEW Intercontinental Champion...Drew McIntyre!
Don Chuckles: A great matchup here, I'll not be forgetting this one Phil
Phil Latio: It really was, both men put everything they had into it, and you can't take anything away from either of them. Both of these men have my respect Don
Jim Cornette enters the ring, giddy and smiling, as he nudges the referee out of the way, raising Drew McIntyre's hand in the air, while Drew holds up the title with the other, completely exhausted, but satisfied, grinning widely. The crowd boos loudly.
Don Chuckles: It was a shame someone had to lose this, but there can only be one winner.
Phil Latio: This definitely makes the list of my favorite matches Don. The Chosen One has established himself here in Thy WWE, and has made his mark.
McIntyre and Cornette exit the ring, Drew strapping his prize around his waist proudly, gesturing to the crowd on the stage, before heading back behind the curtains. Back in the ring, Senn sits up straight, and gets to his feet. The crowd begins to increase in volume and clap, and start up a chant in admiration and respect for his efforts.
Despite the outcome, he manages a smile, and poses for the crowd, drawing more cheers. He limps out of the ring, and high fives fans along the aisle as he makes his way up the ramp and backstage.

"The Saviour" Jacob Senn vs. Aaron vs. POT vs. Stalker Knight vs. Mark Greenberg
(Ladder Match--Contract for a World title shot on the line)
We can see a still sore Jacob Senn already in the ring along with his four other competitors. High above the ring hangs a clipboard with a contract attached that will guarantee the winner a title shot against the Unified World Champion whenever he so chooses to use it. Outside the ring are multiple ladders of varying sizes already set up. Each of the five men are looking at each other and at the weapons outside of the ring as the official on the outside rings the bell.
Don Chuckles: Here we go ladies and gentlemen. This match should be amazing.
As Aaron lunges towards POT and we see Stalker Knight shoot for Greenberg and take him down, we see Jacob Senn roll out of the ring and wisely duck down next to the ringside stairs to further recover while the four men in the ring start to fight amongst themselves as we see Stalker start clubbing on Greenberg with blows as POT and Aaron stand in the middle of the ring firing off lefts and right hands towards each other. It doesn’t take long for POT to level Aaron with a hard clothesline before going to the outside of the ring looking for one of the big ladders. Seeing a tall ladder a short ladder, he grabs the shorter of the two and closes it up. Picking the ladder up he aims himself towards the ring and pushes it inside. As POT walks towards the ladder though, Aaron in the inside of the ring runs towards it and hits a baseball slide which sends the ladder back into POT’s face and makes him hit the floor hard. With Stalker and Greenberg now trading chops near one of the corners, we see Aaron pick up the ladder, but what he doesn’t catch is Jacob Senn coming back into the ring and throw himself forward into a spinning heel kick which connects on the ladder and the impact of it causes Aaron to drop the ladder and roll outside of the ring. Jacob then picks the ladder up and anchors it on his neck, using it as an oversized battering ram; we see him charge towards Greenberg and Stalker, who try to move, but they are too late and they both get struck and taken down by Senn. Now all alone in the ring we see Jacob get the small ladder set up and positioned towards the contract above. As he slowly begins to climb, we hear the fans cheer, he gets about halfway up however before he gets blasted in the back with a steel chair by POT. The hard blow reverberates throughout the arena, and we can see Senn wince in pain as POT decides on hitting him again. Only takes a moment for him before we see him instead to decide to push the ladder over, sending the ladder smacking into the top rope and Senn flying off the ladder and landing on a rising Aaron on the arena floor. Now Senn and Aaron are down and out on the arena floor while POT drops the chair and slides the ladder to the outside of the ring.
Don Chuckles: It didn’t take long for the ladders to get brought into play.
Phil Latio: I hope Jacob and Aaron are okay, that was a high fall he took.
Turning his attention back towards the other two men, we see POT get kicked hard in the stomach by Greenberg and backed towards the ropes. Stalker, now back up as well decides to join with Greenberg as they stomp and punch POT down in the corner. As soon as POT is completely down, he rolls outside of the ring and we see Stalker and Greenberg quickly go to the outside of the ring as well. On one side of the ring we see Stalker setting a smaller ladder and propping it on the ringside barricade and the ring apron while Greenberg angles a ladder on the ringside stairs and puts it against the barrier as well. This ends up coming back to hurt him though as POT clubs him in the back with a double axe handle and then hip tossing Greenberg onto the propped up ladder. Greenberg flops around on the ground in pain, while POT doesn’t see Stalker roll into the ring, run towards opposite ropes, and use them as leverage to heave himself over the top rope. We can see him aiming for POT, but POT is able to move out of the way and Stalker lands hard on the ringside barrier and also rolls around on the ground in pain. Getting inside of the ring with a larger ladder, we aren’t able to see him get much use out of it as POT gets taken down by Aaron who leaps off the top rope and catches him with a Blockbuster neck breaker type move. Aaron gets back up, and follows with a jumping elbow drop. He almost goes for a cover, but then looks up and gets reminded of just what is at stake. On the outside of the ring, we can see Jacob Senn now back on his feet as he gets back to the apron and pulls out a table and prop it up before getting a second one and pulling it out as well. Putting the second stacked table on top of the first table, we see Aaron plancha himself onto Senn on the outside of the ring. Getting up quickly, we see Aaron throw Jacob back into the ring.
Don Chuckles: This could go anyway.
Phil Latio: My money is on Mark Greenberg, Vegas puts him at 5-1…whoo Ima be Oprah Rich!.
Don Chuckles: Um…yeah.
As Aaron gets into the ring and back to his feet, he is drilled with a clothesline by POT. Before he can even follow up though he is stung in the rear leg with a kick by Senn who is trying to get completely back to his feet…getting stung one more time with another kick, we see POT swing towards Senn but miss. Jacob then fully regains his mobility and stings POT with another kick, before grabbing him and getting him into position for a vertical suplex. Senn then flips POT over up onto the ladder with the vertical suplex. We see POT wince on the mat with agony before he is drug to the outside of the ring by a now recovered Stalker. Stalker then takes POT and forcefully gets him back to his feet before dragging him towards the ladder that is propped up against the ringside stairs. We then see Stalker forcefully flapjack POT on the ladder and land awkwardly on the floor. Stalker then goes back inside of the ring and looks fired up as he kicks Senn in the face, and kicks Aaron in the face before looking at the large ladder in the ring. Greenberg rolls in and tries to run towards Stalker, but gets taken down as well. Stalker then grabs the large ladder and is able to position it in the dead center middle of the ring. Already we can see POT starting to stir on the outside while Senn and Aaron are starting to recover as well. We see POT throw a pair of steel chairs in the ring before sliding in another smaller ladder in the ring while further setting up yet another ladder near the first ladder propped between the ring barrier and the ring apron. Stalker takes Aaron down once more with a DDT and tries to take Senn down again with a fishermans buster, but gets reversed and dropped to the mat as Senn hits a neck breaker. Greenberg is now back on his feet as well and grabs a chair and as Senn turns, Greenberg hits him hard in the stomach and then as Senn doubles over, Greenberg hits him in the arm with the chair before throwing it down and getting Senn underneath in power bomb position.
Don Chuckles: Greenberg looks to have the first definitive advantage here Phil.
Phil Latio: Shut up, I wanna see what happens next.
Greenberg then goes to lift Senn up for a pile driver, but gets hit from behind by Stalker. Stalker then tosses Greenberg out of the ring and follows to further attack. Senn then looks up at the ladder and the title, but then sees the two men fighting outside of the ring. Getting a smile on his face, we see Senn run towards the two guys fighting, jumps and flips forward, easily clearing the ropes as he lands backwards onto Greenberg on the floor. Standing back up in a few moments, we see Stalker join Senn and lift Greenberg in a back suplex onto the ladder. Stalker then starts to punch Greenberg with some hard closed fists as Senn starts to scale the ladder as the fans in attendance cheer. As Greenberg looks towards Senn, he gets a grin on his face, instantly knowing what is coming next. While keeping a view on Senn slowly rising to the top of the ladder, we see Greenberg continue to get punched on the ladder. Finally as soon as Senn gets to the top, he looks down at Greenberg who is perched on the ladder, and as Senn jumps off the ladder, he crashes down on Greenberg below and breaks the ladder in two with an impressive looking guillotine leg drop. The fans cheer and a few start a small chant of “Oh My God” as Greenberg convulses in agony while Senn screams in pain as Stalker pulls him back up, only to suplex him swiftly over onto the arena mats before getting back inside of the ring to see Aaron and POT slowly getting to the top of the ladder and starting to trade blows on the very top of the high ladder. The contract is within reach for both men, and we see POT and Aaron continue to brawl, next we see POT start to overwhelm Aaron as he clubs him in the stomach and then bangs his head off the top step of the ladder. Doing it a second time, and then a third, we see Aaron take a pair of steps down which seems to give POT a second wind. After punching the back of Aaron and then giving him some closed fist shots to the side of his head, we see POT look over at the double stacked tables and get an idea. POT then surprises us with a surprising bit of athleticism as he rolls forward and flips over Aaron. As POT comes down he grabs the legs and forcibly drives Aaron back and off the ladder. Although POT was going for an apparent sunset flip power bomb, he wasn’t able to get a full grip, and Aaron just lands at a terrible looking angle as he careens to the outside of the ring and goes through the two stacked tables. The “Oh My God” chant starts up again, louder this time.
Don Chuckles: Jesus Christ Aaron could have just broken his arm and neck.
Phil Latio: That move was great, holy shit.
POT looks to have rolled his ankle, or tweaked his knee on the landing as he is on the ground rolling his ankle and smacking at his knee in hopes of shaking whatever pain loose. Greenberg and Aaron look to be seriously hurt as Stalker starts to stomp on the hurt knee of POT before walking over to a steel chair and picking it up. After pondering if he wants to strike POT, we see Stalker instead wedge the steel chair in the corner, but as he gets there, Senn’s arms snake in the ring and sweep the feet of Stalker. Senn then pulls Stalker forward and crushes his “Little Stalkers” against the ring post. Stalker screams in a sheer pain as Senn ducks back inside the ring and looks over at POT who is trying to use the ropes to get himself back to his feet. Getting a wry grin on his face, we see Senn walk towards POT casually, but POT jumps up and pushes off with his other leg and takes Senn down with a shoulder block. Senn gets back up quickly though, as does POT who once again pushes off with his other leg and takes Senn down again. POT and Senn are again up quick, and we see Senn throw a right hand, but POT ducks and gets Senn up in a back suplex position. But as POT puts weight down on his leg that was hurt from the ladder drop, we see his leg buckle, and that momentum shift is all we need to see as Senn is able to wriggle his body weight and drive POT forward and onto the mat with a bulldog. Both men now lay hurting on the mat as the fans are cheering the herculean efforts on display so far.
Don Chuckles Wow! Just wow so far.
Phil Latio: I am impressed.
Sheer competitive will drives both POT and Senn back to their feet, Senn tries to charge towards POT, who is able to push down, brace himself on the pain and catch Senn with a suplex throw looking move. But before he can do anything, he is taken from behind and charged to the outside of the ring by Stalker. Stalker starts to drop knees down on POT and then stands up and sees the ringside stairs gleaming brightly not too far from him. Walking over to the ringside stairs we see Stalker separate them and pick up a section of the stairs. Walking back towards POT, we see Stalker charge, but get tripped and sent careening face first into the steps with a drop toe hold. Stalker holds his face and nose which is now bloody as POT stands back up and gingerly is able to walk on both legs. POT then grabs Stalker and gets him up on his shoulders in a fireman’s carry position. Stalker instinctively fights POT, but isn’t able to fight hard enough as POT is able to drop Stalker back first on ringside stairs. The thud that is made is rough sounding as Stalker convulses out cold on the outside. Standing tall once again, we see POT narrowly drop down and backdrop a recovered Greenberg into the nearby crowd of fans. POT then slides back inside of the ring, but is attacked by Senn. Senn pulls POT up to his feet, but POT shrugs him off and stings him with a right hand. Senn stings the prior hurt leg of POT and takes a couple of steps back before catching POT hard with a kick to the head. POT lands on the mat not moving, as Senn looks at the ladder and decides that now is his time to climb. Slowly getting over to the ladder, we see Senn climb slowly. Three of the opponents are still not moving on the outside as POT slowly gets back up and starts to climb the ladder as well. It doesn’t take POT much time to get up with Senn at the top. In a déjà vu moment, we almost see POT get ready to attempt the same sunset flip from before, but this time Senn kicks POT in the leg, who fires back a jab. With both men still reaching frantically for the clipboard and clawing and striking at the other. The clasp that holds the board to the cable is open and we can see Greenberg coming back inside the ring, but will he be too late? He pushes the giant ladder over, just as the clipboard comes undone. Senn and POT fall off the ladder, and both men smack onto the mat hard. But each man has a hand on the clipboard. The bell rings signifying the end of the match, but who won?
Winner:
Don Chuckles: Who won!
Phil Latio: Um…
Officials are pouring into the ring, some raising the hand of a still fallen POT, while others are raising the fallen Senn. Instant reply on the big screen shows that the clasp broke off and the clipboard was grasped by both Senn and POT when it happned. Do we have a controversy on our hands? Are both Senn and POT winners? Answers are going to be needed to be had quick and soon as the show goes to a commercial break.

RETURN FROM BREAK

Our show comes back from its advertisement break to see the new Intercontinental Champion walking with Jim Cornette backstage. The two bump into Dominic Reynolds who appears to be going through some last minute preparations with Pops Reynolds. Getting a smug look on his face, we see Drew walk over to Reynolds and tap him on the shoulder…making sure to sling the IC Title on his shoulder after doing so.
Drew McIntyre: Aye Dominic, I just wanted to wish you luck tonight against Oden. It’d be a shame if you got fired and I would be deprived the chance of facing an incredible superstar such as yourself.
Heh heh.
Dominic Reynolds: I see your fancy new championship that you won there Drew. Congratulations. Know this though, know that when I defeat Oden tonight…that I’m going to be coming after you. Because honestly, you’re a bum, you’re a bum with a hack for a manager. You’re an embarrassment, nothing. Jus-
We see Drew come face to face with Reynolds, as Cornette and Pops Reynolds intervene.
Pops Reynolds: We got more important things to worry about right now son… Come on.
Pops Reynolds pulls Dominic away while he never breaks his gaze away from Drew McIntyre. We see a sinister gleam in Drew’s eyes as the shot goes back to ringside as a video package comes on that gives us a highlight that shows us how we got to this point that we are at now with Dominic Reynolds and Xavier Oden. From the badgering by Oden, to the attempts by Reynolds to take the higher ground, and the defeat at Attrition, it’s all shown. But now this is the finale, put up or shut up for both of these men.
Match 4: Dominic Reynolds vs. Xavier Oden
(If Reynolds fails to win, he will be fired on the spot)
We hear the music of Dominic Reynolds blast first throughout the arena as the fans break into a loud chorus of cheers when they see Dominic and Pops Reynolds make their way out from the back and stand with their backs facing the audience as sparks fall around them. They then turn and we see confident smiles on both of their faces as they get down and get inside of the ring. As Oden’s music blasts throughout the arena, we can see the focused Oden as he walks down the ramp just fixated straight ahead. Some of the fans are cheering for him, while a few others are heckling him and proclaiming that Reynolds is gonna beat his ass. None of it seems to get through the focus that Oden has on his face as he slowly walks up the ramp and gets inside of the ring. Looking to the left, and then to the right, finally centering his focus on top of the entrance way…we hear Oden’s music cut off. Reynolds turns towards the crowd and raises his arms to elicit another cheer. Meanwhile Oden, deciding to not wait for the referee to explain the rules, takes matters into his own hands as he runs up behind Reynolds and clubs him in the back with a double axe handle blow. Reynolds falls to a knee as Oden continues to drop more clubbing blows. The referee runs up to admonish Oden, but a venomous look from him causes him to step back and instead simply decide to order the bell to be rung, making this match officially underway. Looking down and seeing his attack effective, we now see Oden pull Reynolds up to his feet and club him in the stomach and then once in the chest. The weight behind it causes Reynolds to stagger backwards, and as Oden charges, the momentum instantly changes as we see Reynolds hook Oden and sting him with a power slam. Immediately hooking the leg and going for a pinfall out of instinct, we see the referee drop down and begin the count—1…2…NO! Oden kicks out emphatically.
Don Chuckles: This match is gonna be intense.
Phil Latio: I can’t wait.
We then see Reynolds pull Oden to his feet and hook him in an abdominal stretch in the center of the ring. Screaming for Oden to give it up, we see the official come in to make sure Oden is okay. Oden is defiantly shaking his head no as Reynolds gets a quick grin on his face before clubbing Oden in the chest twice. The referee points at Reynolds and screams at him to not do that again which only causes him to chuckle. After looking straight at the referee before hitting one more clubbing blow of his own, we see Reynolds lift Oden up into a pump handle and drop him down onto the mat. Oden flops around momentarily holding his back, but quickly covers up as Reynolds mounts him and starts to hit some stiff sounding closed fist left and right hands. Blatantly defying the rules now, we see the referee get gutsy as he pushes Reynolds off of Oden and warns him that if he doesn’t knock it off that he will get disqualified. Does he want to go out that way? I don’t think so…we see Oden quickly try to pull himself to his feet, but he is dropped back down to the mat as Reynolds stings him with a big dropkick. Reynolds then immediately gets on top of Oden and hooks both legs…the official slides into position and starts the count—1…2…NO! Oden kicks out and Reynolds stands up and nods almost knowingly, like he was expecting it to take more than that to put his foe away.
Don Chuckles: Back and forth so far here.
Phil Latio: This is awesome so far.
Oden gets up quickly once again, and Reynolds walks over to inflict further damage. But Oden surprises him with a clothesline, Reynolds doesn’t go down though and is simply rocked by it. Oden kicks Reynolds in the stomach and throws another clothesline. The thud would be enough to knock down a lesser man, but Reynolds is still standing. We then see Oden start throwing some right hands, before throwing another clothesline which knocks Reynolds backwards into the corner. Oden quickly follows up by running and stinging Reynolds with a corner splash before delivering several knife edge chops. Reynolds winces with each stinging blow, and we can see the skin of the champion getting red from the damage. Oden then jogs backwards and comes in a second time, sandwiching him with another corner splash. This time Reynolds staggers forwards, and Oden drops down low, lifting Reynolds up onto his shoulders and slamming him down onto the mat with a samoan drop. Oden then hits Reynolds with two elbows before rolling over and hooking the leg of the champ for the cover. The referee gets into position and makes the count—1…2…NO! Reynolds kicks out.
Don Chuckles: Will Dominic get fired here Phil? History says that he may.
Oden then gets back to his feet and awaits Reynolds to rise, when he gets back to his feet Oden stings him with a right hand. But despite getting rocked, Reynolds quickly fires back with a left hand of his own. In the center of the ring, we now see Reynolds and Oden thump each other with hard lefts and rights, going blow for blow until Oden blocks a Reynolds left, kneeing him in the stomach before grabbing him by the head and dropping him into the mat with a DDT. Reynolds bounces off the mat and is staring up at the ceiling as Oden gets back to his feet and bounces off the ropes. Coming back towards him, Oden jumps up and connects with an elbow drop onto the chest of Reynolds before grabbing his legs and going for another cover. The referee slides into position and starts to administer the count—1…2…NO! The champ kicks out, and it is still apparent that Reynolds has a lot left in his tank. Thoroughly in control, we now see Oden pull Reynolds to his feet and once again knee him in the midsection. Oden takes the arm of Reynolds and puts it over his head, before hitting him with a vertical suplex. Keeping the arm locked, we see Oden gyrate his hips and we immediately know what he is going for. Oden uses momentum to get himself and Reynolds back up, hitting a second vertical suplex, we see Oden immediately shake and wiggle and get back up. Going for a third vertical suplex, to complete the Three Amigos trifecta, we see Reynolds block. Reynolds then tries to lift Oden over for a vertical suplex, but now it’s Oden who roots himself down. Oden then uses muscle to heave the champion up and over, connecting with the third vertical suplex. Reynolds is holding his back on the mat as Oden gets on top of him and goes for another cover. Screaming for the referee we see him slide into place and administer the count—1…2…NO! Reynolds kicks out and now we can see Oden start to show some signs of frustration.
Don Chuckles: I see a better Reynolds here then at Attrition, like he is more focused.
Oden, standing up to his feet, tapping his head and getting a grin on his face, we see him look down at Reynolds and once again pull him to his feet. Trying to continue his domination, we see Oden leap up and go for a dropkick, but Reynolds smacks his legs away and moves as Oden falls to the mat. Oden immediately springs back up and charges towards Reynolds, it looked almost as if he was going for a spear, but Reynolds is able to partially counter it and he has Oden in a modified front face lock. Moving further up, we see Reynolds have a gut wrench on Oden. Lifting his challenger up, we see Reynolds drill Oden into the mat with a power bomb. The sound of Oden’s body smacking into the mat, not only knocks the wind out of him, but also causes a few of the fans in the front row to wince. Reynolds then drops down and bear hugs around Oden’s chest before pulling him to his feet. Reynolds then contorts his body and slams Oden back down onto the mat with a belly to belly suplex before dropping down and going for another cover. It only takes the referee a moment to slide in and start to make the count—1…2…NO! Oden kicks out and Reynolds wastes no time as he pulls Oden up to his feet. Reynolds once again defies the rules as he thumbs Oden in the eye before hooking him and slamming Oden down and over his knee with a Urinage suplex. Oden flops around on the mat, and Reynolds immediately gets back up and decides that it may be his chance to go for the win. It looks as if Reynolds is gearing up to go for the Breaking Point and put this match away. Letting a defiant howl escape from his midsection, we see Reynolds pick Oden up, kick him in the midsection and go for the Breaking Point, but Oden is able to counter and kick Reynolds hard in the stomach. Seizing what may be his only chance to finish this, Oden immediately hooks Reynolds and slams him into the mat with the XKO. But Oden is still hurt himself, and he is unable to go for the cover right away. It takes him a couple of seconds to go for the cover, and when he finally does, the referee makes the quick count—1…2...............NO!!!! Reynolds is able to lift his shoulder off the mat. The fans in the arena are starting to clap at the battle being fought between these two gladiators. We can see Oden clearly utter some vulgarities as he hooks the legs of Reynolds and go for a second cover—1……2……..NO!!!!!! Looking towards the top rope, we see Oden get a gleam in his eyes as he climbs onto the apron and starts to climb to the top rope. But Oden, still weary from the damage caused is slow to get to the top rope. The extra time causes Reynolds to roll over and see what Oden is going for. Finally Oden stands tall on the top rope and panders to the crowd, leaping off we see him go for a flying elbow drop. But Reynolds moves and Oden smacks the mat hard. A few fans try and get a holy shit chant started, as Reynolds shakes his head and drops down and goes for the cover. The referee slides in and makes the count—1…..2……..NO!!! Now it’s Oden’s turn to kick out, and we can see Reynolds scream and curse. Punching Oden in the head three times we see Reynolds go for another cover—1…….2……NO!!!!! Oden kicks out. Not wasting any time, Reynolds tries a third time to go for the cover—1…….2…….NO!!!! Oden kicks out and it is apparent that Oden still has much fight left.
Don Chuckles: This is anyone’s match Phil.
Reynolds goes back to the corner and rests up for a moment. It takes Oden a few moments to use the ropes to get back to his feet, once again we see Reynolds charge and leap for a flying spinning forearm, but Oden is able to use his instincts and sidestep again. Oden then grabs Reynolds and tries to use his own momentum against him and go for the XKO once again. But Reynolds is able to counter and muscle Oden up and into position for The Breaking Point. Realizing the spot that he is in, Oden fights for dear life, knowing that he is about to lose the move, Reynolds tries to jump forward to complete the Breaking Point, but in another amazing counter we see Oden spike Reynolds into the mat with the XKO once again. Going for the pin fall, we see the referee count Reynolds out—1…2…3!
Winner: Xavier Oden in 32:30.
Don Chuckles: Oh my god, Dominic Reynolds has been fired.
Phil Latio: I, I am speechless.
Oden rolls out of the ring, laughing and waving goodbye to Reynolds who sits up and looks around the arena with tears in his eyes. Pops Reynolds comes into the ring and tells Dominic to keep his head up, to go out like a champion. But then all of a sudden, we see Pops Reynolds get tripped and pulled outside of the ring by Drew McIntyre who grabs his shirt tails and decks him hard. This gesture infuriates Reynolds who gets outside of the ring and tries to get at Drew, but a swarm of security guards are in between them.
Don Chuckles: This is crazy Phil, damn right disrespectful. I hope Reynolds kicks his ass.
Phil Latio: Reynolds doesn’t work here anymore, he is a liability.
Reynolds starts clocking security guards while Drew simply taunts Dominic and waves goodbye to him. Pulling Pops to his feet, we see Reynolds try to charge at Drew again, but is restrained once more. Several of the security escort Pops up the ramp while many more restrain Reynolds. The show goes to another advertisement break while order is attempted to get restored.

Don Chuckles: That was insanity Phil, Reynolds had to be literally drug out of the arena, screaming for Drew McIntyre the entire team. It was just one punch, but it seems to have really gotten Dom fired up.
Phil Latio: Yeah, maybe if he was that fired up, he would have won that match. But now he can go file for unemployment.
Match 5: Christian Knight vs. Michael “Citizen X” Carter
“Written in the Stars” by Tinie Tempah blares over the loud speakers. The lights dim as Knight makes it to the arena. Knight walks onto the stage. He poses for a moment as red and gold pyros shoot off. He cocks a smirk as he begins walking to the ring. He slides into the ring and ascends the turnbuckle with arms held high.
“Lullaby” Nickleback blares over the loud speakers. The Curtains depart and Citizen X emerges from the back as he makes his way into the arena. Citizen X has a murderous grin on his face as he makes his way to the ring. He gets in his respective turnbuckle and awaits for the referee to ring the bell. The referee then signals for the bell to be rung.
Ding…Ding…Ding…
Knight charges towards Citizen X and connects him with a Big Clothesline. We then see Knight pull Citizen X to his feet and hook him in an abdominal stretch in the center of the ring. Screaming for Citizen X to give it up, we see the official come in to make sure Citizen X is okay. Citizen X is defiantly shaking his head no as Knight gets a quick grin on his face before clubbing Citizen X in the chest twice. Knight lifts Citizen X up into a pump handle and drop him down onto the mat. Citizen X flops around momentarily holding his back, but quickly covers up as Knight mounts him and starts to hit some stiff sounding closed fist left and right hands. Citizen X quickly tries to pull himself to his feet, but he is dropped back down to the mat as Knight stings him with a big boot. Knight then immediately gets on top of Citizen X and hooks both legs…the official slides into position and starts the count..

Citizen X kicks out
Knight stands up and nods almost knowingly, like he was expecting it to take more than that to put his challenger away. Citizen X gets up quickly once again, and Knight walks over to inflict further damage. But Citizen X surprises him with a clothesline, Knight doesn’t go down though and is simply rocked by it. Citizen X kicks Knight in the stomach and throws another clothesline. The thud would be enough to knock down a lesser man, but Knight is still standing.

Winner: Christian Knight
“I Believe” by Creed comes on over the arena speakers and the fans look perplexed towards the entrance way as they see Kenneth Walker come out shaking his head as he walks down to the ring. Kenneth gets inside of the ring and asks for a microphone to be given to him.
Kenneth Walker: You know something; I was never a believer of déjà vu until tonight. Sitting in the dressing room trying to get myself ready for my tag team match later on tonight, I found myself thinking about my very first year in wrestling. I remember getting labeled as a future superstar, as a champion in the making. But I chose to turn my back on my god given talents for a long time, it took me five years to pull my head out of my ass and realize that I deserved to be a contender, that I deserved to actually care about what I was doing. I dedicated every single breath I had to wrestling and the business, I sacrificed my own family, the ones who love and care for me, I sacrificed a brother for this business and when I couldn’t have both, I put myself into hiding because I couldn’t bear the shame of failure. I c-
Christian Knight: Tell me why I’m supposed to care old man.
Kenneth Walker: I’ll tell you why you’re supposed to care Christian. I see a lot of myself in you. I see a lot of the same poor choices and bad judgment calls that I made being repeated with you Christian. Look in my eyes, see the burdens I have endured. I am the finish line on the destructive path that you have set yourself on Christian, ask yourself if it’s a journey worth taking.[/center]
