Cody Bogard & Sofia vs Revision & Saria Nalick

The crowd is pumped up after getting a taste of what to expect in the Soul Survivor match, now getting ready to see another debut match as Roselyn enters the ring.

Roselyn: The following contest is a tag team match, scheduled for one fall with a forty-five minute time limit! Your referee is Justin Mayfair.

Mayfair gets a pretty big volley of jeers and boos launched towards him, making him flinch a little, but otherwise giving no response to the crowd, who just continue doing it anyway. But that changes quickly as the intro to "Age Age Every Night" by DJ Ozma suddenly fills the youth center, everyone turning their attention towards the entrance ramp with a cheer, despite having never heard this entrance theme before. The lights dim down to a light blue glow, the crowd getting even more excited, having their suspicions as to who this theme belongs to.

ONE! TWO! ONE TWO THREE BOUNCE!

Their suspicions are shown to be correct as Sofia walks out through the curtains, the crowd giving up a big cheer for one of the more popular girls on the GWA roster, especially once she starts dancing. Soon, the lights flash to white and then begin to strobe, plunging the arena into darkness for half a second between each flash and giving Sofia's movements a slower, almost Matrix-style look to them. As the lighting changes, she drops down her knees and begins to dance in a more dirty fashion, the crowd's cheers growing much louder at that.

Drake: God bless Sofia for giving these internet dirt-sheet reading nerds something to give them an erection besides the idea of seeing another indy star in a national wrestling company.

After finishing her dance, Sofia hops back up to her feet and holds her arms up in a cocky fashion, grinning widely before starting down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans and blowing a kiss here and there. Once at the ring, she hops up onto the apron and grabs the top rope, pulling it down and then catapulting herself over it and into the ring, jogging up to the southeast corner and hopping up onto the middle turnbuckles to raise her arms up once again. Lowering her hands, she shifts her fingers into a gun motion and playfully pretends to shoot at the crowd, winking before hopping back down and doing some last minute stretches as her entrance theme fades out.

Rather than going back up to their normal glow, the lights just stop flashing and dim down as the crowd goes silent again...

Zugagan gagan gan! (Do the muscle!)
Zubaban baban ban! (Hustle Muscle!)
GO! GO! FIGHT!

Cody comes rushing out through the curtains to a hail of cheers from the crowd, showing their appreciation for the Burning Avenger as he stands at the end of the aisle, white, shimmering long coat fluttering around him, smiling out to the crowd.

Haruka hirogaru tatakai no kouya he
Omae wa ima chizu mo motazu aruki dashita bakari
Sono chihei ni wa kazukazu no dorama to
Arashi wo yobu teki no kiba ga machi ukete iru darou

Kizutsuite taore sou na toki ni wa
Tooi hi no kioku mune ni dakishimete

Cody begins to make his way down the aisle towards the ring, slapping hands with the fans as the lean over the barrier to pat him on the back, a "CO-DY! CO-DY! CO-DY!" chant starting up fairly quickly. Pretty soon, Cody runs down the rest of the way to the ring and around to the corner Sofia is in, jumping up onto the apron and quickly climbing up the turnbuckles, Sofia stepping back and clapping for Cody as he does so.

Wow Wow Wow subte wa buatsui Muscle
Omae no karada no sono oku
Nagareteiru no sa ai sae yuujou sae
Sakebi kaese Hustle Muscle
Omae no se ni kakaru kitai ni
Kinnikuman nisei yo jidai wa Get You!

Cody smiles down at Sofia, then raises his head and throws both arms up in the air, the crowd's cheers and chants getting louder as he does so. Finally, Cody hops down into the ring, removing his longcoat and handing it to an official before turning and speaking with Sofia, probably going over some last-minute strategies as his theme fades out.

The crowd turns back towards the entrance, the mood becoming considerably darker now that the favorite team is out. The opening bass strings to "Toys and Flavors" by Hellacopters begins, leading into the opening guitar riff fairly quickly as the crowd begins to boo and jeer, knowing whose entrance this is.

Swallow up
And then go flush it down
Monday special
Get with the latest sound
So here's a treat
Go waste its sweetness on the desert air
A brand new sensation
To enjoy if you care

Saria walks out from behind the curtains, standing at the end if the aisle and looking down towards the ring, a pretty fair mix of boos and cat calls coming from the fans, though she just seems to ignore both of them, starting to head down towards the ring.

Hey hey hey now!
But are you sure it's what you're looking for?
So c'mon, don't be late now!
It won't be long before it's out that door

Toys and Flavors
Season saviors
C'mon devour
And cut the edges out

Saria stops at the end of the ramp, looking around towards the crowd and shaking her head with a roll of her eyes, obviously annoyed with the fans and the constant wave of noise being directed towards her, considering that the fans themselves sound more akin to a herd of cattle drowning in a three-foot pool. Attempting to get this over with quickly, she walks up the steel steps towards the ring apron.

Baby
Hip young thing ain't hip no more
With eagles' speed buzzards feed
On crumbs off the fashion floor

As her entrance theme gets into its final stages, Saria enters the ring, standing in her corner and keeping a stern look on her face, getting serious for the match ahead as she rolls her neck from side to side and does a few stretches with her shoulders, showing that she's all business in this situation.

Hey hey hey now!
But are you sure it's what you really need?
So c'mon, don't be late now!
It's a one-hit guarantee

Toys and Flavors
Season saviors
C'mon devour
And cut the edges out

As her theme fades out, the crowd turns their attention back towards the ramp, knowing who has to be coming out next. A feeling of excitement is in the air despite the circumstances behind this debut, as it simply just doesn't happen all that often. Suddenly, the lights dim down again, a simple bass riff beginning along with some percussion sounds and a noise that sounds vaguely like fingers snapping. A quick riff causes a set of dark blue lights to turn inward toward the curtains. Suddenly, a voice begins to sing in a whispered voice.

There's an alley cat slowly walkin' down a dirty street
Watchin' a cop on the take and marchin' to his city beat

A crash of cymbals leads into a quicker beat, the voice becoming louder as the crowd gets a little more excited.

You got Five Fingers Johnny stealin' everything in sight
You gotta be bad to be good...in the dead of the night

WHOOAAAOOW, KICK IT!

As the main riff to the song kicks in, the curtains are thrown open by Revision, who walks out into the aisle, bringing his hands up into the classic air guitar position and playing along with the main riff as an explosive reaction comes from the crowd, some cheering loudly at an old favorite, some booing and jeering because of his current affiliation. As the first verse begins, Revision finally lowers his arms, seeming to just now realize the crowd, a big smile coming across his face as he raises his arms up in the air, seeming to be encouraging whatever reaction comes toward him, good or bad.

You're dancin' in fire baby
When you're takin' it to the streets
Yes to the streets
Better watch your back baby
Better be fast on your feet
Yes on your feet

At this point, someone in the crowd recognizes the song, yelling out "POISON! HEEEEEEEEL!" Dark blue lights now switch on to light the entire arena, white spotlights swooping over the crowd as Revision lowers his arms and begins to make his way down the ramp, jawing with a few fans along the way and suddenly stopping towards one in particular, leaning over the barrier and wrapping his arm around the guy's shoulders, pulling him close to the barrier and pointing at his t-shirt as he looks into the camera, the camera turning its view to show that it's an old Empty Promises t-shirt from the BTWF.

Revision: I really do have fans!

Turning his head, Revision furrows his brow at the man.

Revision: Wait, you didn't buy it because you liked Austin or Xunkai better, right?

The man shakes his head rapidly, obviously too star-struck by actually being singled out by a wrestler to speak.

Revision: Good man!

With that, the International Rock Superstar lets go and continues his way down the ramp, tossing his blonde hair back and throwing his arms up in the air once again, seeming to be soaking up the atmosphere tonight.

'Cause they're wheelin' dealin'
Cheatin' stealin', child you're gonna learn

You gotta be bad to be good
If you know what I'm talkin' about
What's that?
So I say it again
You gotta be bad to be good
In the dead of the night

Revision heads around the side of the ring to get to the corner where Saria is waiting, not seeming very interested in her partner's antics. She does move to the side, however, as he climbs up onto the apron and then up on the turnbuckles, standing with one foot on the top and the other in the middle, surveying the arena with his hands on top of his knee. After a moment, he reaches up and pulls off his bandanna and shades, handing them off to an official before slipping off his jacket and doing the same.

When you got nothin' baby
You got no-no-nothin' to lose
Nothin' to lose
It's an eye for an eye baby
And a tooth for a tooth
Ain't it the truth

As the bridge begins, he hops down off the corner and into the ring, walking out into the middle of it and pointing over at Sofia, calling out "You think you're so cool, huh?!" before slowly beginning to swivel his hips as he undoes his belt, all the women in the arena (most likely dragged here by their pimple-faced boyfriends) letting out screechy cheers as he does so, the "superstar" soon unfastening the belt and pulling it off, whipping it over his head once before tossing it in Sofia's direction. The belt lands about a foot away from her, Sofie looking at it like Revision just threw a used kleenex at her, while Cody looks rather angry. Meanwhile, Saria looks like she's wondering where the hell Twist got the idea to add this guy to the Apostles.

If you got nine lives you might survive
'Cause nothing's free on the other side

Bad to be good
If you know what I'm talkin' about
What's that?
So I say it again
You gotta be bad to be good
If you know what I'm talkin' about
What's that?
I'll say it again

Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin'
Just to stay alive...

Ahhh...

As the song moves into the guitar solo, Revision turns his attention away from Sofia, slowly starting to undo his pants and pointing over towards Brianna, who looks completely surprised at the whole thing, and then a little disgusted. Just as it looks like Revision is going to push his pants down, he suddenly just rips them off completely, tossing them over the ropes to the outside and revealing his regular wrestling trunks underneath, something most of the male fans in the arena are quite happy about. With one more wink towards Brianna and Sofia, he heads back to his corner, the lights coming back up to normal as he takes his place besides Saria, who mumbles something to him that only makes him grin.

Brianna takes a few moments to try and get the last minute and a half out of her mind before stepping forward.

Brianna: Introducing first, to my left...First, from Miami, Florida...SARIA NALICK!

Saria is greeted mostly with boos and jeers, which she ignores quite happily, psyching herself up for the match.

Brianna: And her partner...From the Sunset Strip, weighing in at 190 lbs...He is the International Rock Superstar...REVISION!

Revision is met with mostly the same reactions as before, but with a distinctly more favorable reaction from the female members of the crowd. The superstar is too busy, however, making a phone motion with his thumb and pinky and mouthing "call me" to Brianna to notice. Brianna seems quite happy to turn away from him and introduce the next team.

Brianna: Their opponents, to my right...First, the Sexy Goddess...SOFIA!

Sofia gets a loud reaction from the crowd, cheering along with a few cat calls, the male part of the audience seeming to give her the same reaction the females gave Revision. Pretty soon, a "CO-DY! CO-DY!" chant starts up again in anticipation.

Brianna: And her partner...weighing in at 202 lbs., he is your GWA Openweight Champion...The Burning Avenger, CODY BOGARD!

Cody steps forward and raises one arm in the air, receiving a very loud hail of cheers from the audience, a few black and white streamers being thrown his way as well. The officials quickly clear them out of the ring, Cody reaching down to undo the Openweight title from around his waist, giving it to Mayfair, who hands it off to another official outside the ring. Mayfair quickly comes back to check if both teams are ready, then steps back.

The bell rings...

After a few moments of discussion, Cody and Revision head out onto the apron, leaving Sofia and Saria to face one another. After a quick round of circling, the two lock up. Pretty soon, Nalick gets the advantage, pushing Sofia back towards the corner and up into the turnbuckles. Mayfair comes over to call for the break, and after a three count, Nalick steps back, giving Sofia a clean break. Sofia walks out of the corner, the two then moving into a Knucklelock, neither getting an advantage from the test of strength. Finally, Sofia drops down to her back and kicks one of Nalick's hands away, rolling up to her feet and twisting Nalick's other arm up into a Wristlock. Nalick tries to twist out of it a few times, but then suddenly drops into a backwards roll, breaking the hold and then rolling forward again, twisting Sofia's arm up in the process and using it to flip her over onto her back in a Judo-style takedown, dropping down to lock in her own Wristlock on the mat. Sofia manages to twist up and onto her feet, bringing Nalick up with her, who transitions the Wristlock into an Armbar, and then a Hammerlock. Sofia reverses this one, though, pulling Nalick into her own Armlock before locking in a Side Headlock. Nalick brings Sofia back against the ropes, using them to push her off, but Sofia comes back off the opposite set and knocks Nalick down with a Shoulderblock. Sofia goes to the ropes again, but Nalick quickly rolls towards her legs, forcing her to jump over, then gets up to her feat, leapfrogging over Sofia as she comes back again. Sofia goes to the ropes one more time, Nalick doing another leapfrog, blindly, and managing to dodge Sofia again. Sofia ends all this jumping by quickly turning around and landing a boot to the gut, however, quickly grabbing Nalick and pulling her over in a headlock takedown. Nalick counters with a Headscissors on the mat, Sofia quickly kicking out of it, both of them rolling up to their feet afterwards as the crowd gives out a cheer for the quick reversal sequence.

Both women then begin to circle once again, before Sofia offers up another Knucklelock. Before both hands can be locked up, though, Nalick suddenly twists her arm around into an Armbar, locking it in. Sofia attempts to break out of the hold, grabbing Nalick's arm and trying to reverse it, but Saria has a tight lock on the hold. Finally, Sofia rolls forward to break the hold, rolling backwards and up to her feet to turn and connect with a Dropkick right into Nalick's mid-section, sending her stumbling back into the corner. Sofia gets back up to her feet, Nalick coming forward again and going for a grapple. This time, Nalick swings around to pull Sofia into a Reverse Waistlock, using it to drag her back over to her corner, allowing Revision to tag himself in. Once in the ring, Nalick just lets go of Sofia, Revision stepping back, not taking a cheap shot this time. Sofia wisely moves away from the corner towards the middle of the ring, getting herself away from any attacks from behind by Nalick. Revision doesn't go towards Sofia yet, though, looking over towards Cody before turning his attention back to her and calling out "Baby, if that loser is the Openweight Champion, you have to know that there are better guys that were outside the GWA. Like me, for instance." Cody looks pretty angry at this, placing one foot on the rope and calling for a tag from Sofia, but she ignores it for now, seeming to want to take Revision on her own. After a few moments, the blonde shrugs, grinning. "If that's how you want it..." The two suddenly move forward into a grapple, Sofia getting a quick advantage by wrenching Revision's arm up hard into a Hammerlock. Before he can reverse it, she sweeps his leg to take him down to the mat, letting go of one arm and grabbing the opposite one to lock in an Ashigatame. Revision cringes as his arm gets pulled back across his body, but manages to fight his way up to his feet, Sofia transitioning into another Hammerlock. Revision quickly pulls himself over to the ropes, though, locking one arm over them to get a break, Sofia backing off at a three count. But instead of going back towards Sofia, Revision suddenly turns and connects with a SAVATE KICK TO CODY!

Cody falls back off the apron, barely managing to stay on his feet, holding his face for a moment in shock and pain. Suddenly, the Burning Avenger is back on the apron, moving through the ropes and going after Revision, only to be stopped by Mayfair, who tries to push him back towards the corner. Revision eggs him on all the while, making motions with his hands for him to come over and fight, and yelling "My Gaia title reign makes your belt look like aluminum foil, you PUNK b***h!" The crowd is heated up now, wanting to see these two go at it, seeing as a match between the two of them was a dream for quite a few members of the crowd. Sofia walks past Revision, talking to Cody for a few moments, who seems distracted, just wanting to get in at Revision, but Sofia manages to attract his attention. The crowd gets anxious at the stalling, but Sofia finally tags out, letting Cody in as well as a hail of cheers from the crowd. The two men begin to circle around the ring, taunting one another, but that doesn't last too long before they move into fighting stances, beginning to trade kicks to one another's legs. Neither man seem to be in too much pain from them, or else they're just ignoring them to save face, but soon enough Cody pulls Revision into a grapple, holding onto his shoulders and throwing knees up towards Revision's stomach. The superstar barely manages to block some of them with his forearms until Cody pulls him into a Front Facelock, Revision quickly dashing forward and slamming Cody back into the corner. Saria grabs Cody's arm, taking away half his defense as Mayfair rushes over, Revision taking advantage with a hard slap across Cody's chest before laying into him with kicks as Mayfair starts a DQ count. Saria doesn't let go until five, giving Mayfair a "Are you really going to disqualify us?" look as Revision slaps Cody hard across the face before backing up. The Burning Avenger isn't going to just take that, though, and comes back with a hard slap of his own, sending Revision stumbling back a bit before Cody throws a few hard kicks into his chest, the last one actually knocking Revision off his feet. The superstar sits up, holding his chest in pain, but Cody just takes advantage of that to throw a VICIOUS stiff kick into his unprotected back, sending Revision down to the mat and arching his back in pain.

Another "CO-DY!" chant starts up at the attacks from the Openweight Champ, glad to see the cocky Revision get taken down a notch. Cody just stands over Revision as he holds his chest and cringes in pain, showing his temporary dominance over the superstar. Finally, Cody reaches down to pull him back up to his feet, connecting with a hard forearm before pulling his head down and hitting a knee right to his face. Revision suddenly wraps his arms around Cody's waist and charges forward, pushing him back into his corner again and allowing Nalick to tag herself in. Revision takes a quick boot to Cody's gut before exiting the ring, Nalick coming in with several toe kicks of her own before pulling Cody to a neutral corner, Revision following her along the apron and entering the ring once Cody's set up, both of them grabbing an arm and whipping Cody across the ring into the opposite corner. Revision dashes forward, coming in with a RUNNING SHOTEEEEIIII! Cody gets bashed with the palm strike right into his face, Revision back up a few steps before turning to the side and dropping down on all fours, Nalick running towards them and kicking off Revision's back ONLY FOR CODY TO RUN FORWARD AND LARIAT HER OUT OF THE AIR! Nalick goes spinning down to land on her stomach, the crowd exploding in cheers at that counter. Before Revision can attack, Sofia runs in the ring and connects with a Dropkick right to his jaw, sending him rolling down to the mat and out under the bottom rope. Sofia exits the ring again as Nalick starts to come around, holding her head in pain as Cody reaches down to lift her up, throwing her down in a Snapmare and pushing her down on her back before jumping up to land a Leg Drop on her neck. Once done with that, he stands up and walks back over to tag out to Sofia.

Nalick is still out of it from that explosive Lariat from earlier, shaking her head as she tries to sit up, but she seems to be having quite a bit of trouble with it. Sofia doesn't seem to mind, though, instead grabbing her leg and using it to roll her over onto her stomach, twisting her legs around to set her up for a Mexican Surfboard. It takes a bit of pulling to get Nalick's arms up for it, but soon Sofia begins to rock back for the move. Nalick manages to get one of her legs out of the hold, however, but Sofia just reaches down and locks it in again. Nalick's leg slips out one more time, though, and Sofia, getting frustrated, locks it back up, but then just jumps up to slam Nalick's knees right down into the canvas, causing her to cry out in pain and the crowd to cringe, rolling over onto her back and clutching her knees. Sofia then just lays in with stomps to the knees, weakening them further before grabbing Nalick's leg and pulling her over towards the ropes, setting her foot on the middle one and stepping back, Cody pressing down on her leg with his foot to keep it in place. Nalick tries to pull away, but Cody has all the leverage here, Sofia running back towards the ropes before jumping up to land a Rocking Horse Splash right on Nalick's leg! Even more pain is sent shooting up to her knee, making her roll over onto her side as Sofia tags out to Cody. Sofia lifts Nalick's leg up, giving Cody clearance for a hard kick right to the side of her knee. Cody looks over towards Revision for a moment before making an obscene gesture, the crowd marking out for the EXTREME DISRESPECT. Cody then turns to lift Nalick up, pushing her back against the ropes before laying in with a few chops right below her neck before whipping her across the ring, taking her down as she comes back with a Running Leg Lariat, following up with a pin. 1...2...Nalick kicks out, showing she still has life in her, despite being in need of a tag right about now.

Cody just lifts her back up and takes her back to his corner, tagging back out to Sofia, who quickly steps in and lays in another chop before pulling Nalick over to the middle of the ropes, beginning to throw several kicks at her mid-section. Finally, Nalick ends up falling back through the ropes to the outside, possibly from the force of the kicks, or maybe doing it on her own to escape them. Revision starts to get into the ring at this point to help his partner, Mayfair quickly trying to push him back to the apron, while Cody grabs Nalick on the outside and whips her into the steel barricade, showing no mercy tonight, probably to get back at the Apostles for what they did to Sparco at the last show. Mayfair finally leaves Revision alone as Cody rolls Nalick back into the ring, Sofia turning around to cover her for a pin. 1...2...Nalick manages to get a shoulder up. Sofia lifts her back up to her feet, only to have Nalick lock up with her in a grapple and push her blindly towards a corner, finding it's Sofia's own corner. Realizing this, she quickly turns and knocks Cody off the apron with a Guillotine, smashing his neck down into the top rope. Nalick then turns her attention back towards Sofia, throwing several of her own chops at the Sexy Goddess. Sofia suddenly charges Nalick back into the corner, however, allowing Cody to tag in. Both of them grab Sofia and whip her into the ropes, catching her with a double kick as she comes back, Cody dropping down for a pin. 1... 2... Revision breaks up the pin, even though Nalick got her shoulder up, by slapping Cody right across the face again. Cody looks at the superstar with disgust before pulling Nalick into an Armbar to keep her in place and tagging out to Sofia again, who comes back in to grab Nalick's legs, turning her around onto her stomach and locking in a Texas Cloverleaf! While the two of them haven't done too much work on her knees, Nalick is still in pain, cringing as she reaches towards the ropes, Sofia sitting back to gain some more leverage with the hold. Finally, though, Nalick manages to push herself up and lunge forward, grabbing onto the bottom rope for a break.

Sofia lifts Nalick up once again, pulling her into a Standing Head Scissors and spinning her up for a LYGER BO-NO! NALICK SWINGS HER LEGS OUT AND DROPS SOFIA WITH A FLATLINER! Sofia's face gets dropped right to the canvas, Nalick finally having bought herself the time she needs to roll over towards her corner, Sofia doing the same as Revision and Cody get tagged in. Nalick gets up again as she and Revision run toward Cody for a double team, but Cody lays in with the forearm strikes, bashing both of them. Revision stumbles back as Cody grabs Nalick and whips her into the ropes, grabbing her as she comes back with a BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Nalick goes flying from the move, rolling to the outside as Cody turns his attention back to Revision. Cody lays in with a boot to Revision's face before throwing kicks into his mid-section, finally just pie-facing him in a show of disrespect. Revision quickly straightens up and shoves Cody back before coming in with forearm strikes of his own to Cody's jaw, trying to whip Cody off the ropes, but the Burning Avenger hooks his arm over the top one. Cody comes back with another forearm to kill Revision's momentum, whipping him into the ropes and catching him as he comes back with an Atomic Drop, running back off the ropes with a LARIATOOOOO! Revision goes down hard as the crowd cheers, very glad to see Cody cleaning house like this. Cody quickly follows up with a big Leg Drop before going for a pin. 1... 2... Revision kicks out. Cody doesn't stop, though, picking Revision up and whipping him into the corner before coming in with several hard chops across the superstar's chest. Cody whips Revision into the opposite corner, but the superstar ducks out of the way at the last second as Cody comes charging in, jumping up to nail him with an Enzuigiri to the back of the head, quickly standing up as Cody stumbles back out of the corner to DROP HIM ON HIS HEAD WITH A HALF NELSON SUPLEX! Revision, having had enough of that, rolls back to tag out to Nalick.

Nalick seems to have at least gotten her wind back in that amount of time, though, picking Cody up and whipping him into the corner before running forward and throwing herself onto Cody with a Stinger Splash. Cody stumbles out of the corner as Nalick comes off the ropes, trying to knock him down with a Shoulderblock. Cody stays on his feet, though, as Nalick tries once again, only for Cody to stay standing, turning towards her and calling for one more. Nalick does so, but ducks the Clothesline Cody had planned for her, turning around as Cody does and throwing him down to the mat with a Hurricarana! Nalick grabs Cody's legs to follow up for a pin. 1...2...Cody kicks out. Nalick decides to tag out, rolling back over to Revision and tagging him in as the crowd rears up once more, knowing these two are going to bring the pain. Revision waits for Cody to get up, then runs at him, going for a Superkick, but Cody ducks it, coming around for a Clothesline as Revision comes off the rope again, but the superstar ducks that one, coming back off the ropes and this time taking Cody down with a Spinning Wheel Kick! Revision takes a moment to mock the crowd and Cody before pulling him back up, throwing several kicks into his chest before turning around and hitting a Backflip Kick! Cody goes down from the move, getting smoked with that one, right on his forehead. Revision quickly stands back up, standing beside Cody and raising both arms in the air before jumping forward into a Standing Spiral Tap! The crowd is up on their feet cheering after that, but Revision doesn't stop, standing right back up, throwing himself back in a Standing Sky Twister Press, proving that the superstar does TOO MANY FLIPS!!! Revision hooks the leg following that for a pin. 1... 2... TH- Cody kicks out. Revision quickly picks Cody up, whipping him into the corner and running forward to set up a Tornado DDT, but Cody recovers mid-way through and tries to throw Revision off. The superstar counters by just pulling Cody onto the top ropes with a Guillotine, sending him stumbling backwards as Revision pulls himself up on the top rope and flies off with a SPRINGBOARD SHOTEEEEEIIIIII!!! Cody goes down as Revision covers him again. 1...2...TH-NO! Cody once again manages to get a shoulder up.

The International Rock Superstar has Cody back to his feet, Revision winding up before spitting on his palm and goes for the Roaring Sh- NO! Cody hooks the arm in mid swing and shifting behind him, catching him in a half nelson hold too, leaping up and nailing the HARUNO BUSTER!!! The quick rush of desperation gets the crowd back on the GWA side as Bogard makes the quick dash and tags in Sofia. The Sexy Goddess enters the ring and starts nailing Revision with a barrage of kicks to his body and legs, shifting over to elbow strikes to the head and neck, wrapping her arms around his neck in a front face lock, and hits him with a swinging neckbreaker. Sofia lifts up the Rock Superstar up, whipping him to the ropes, catching him with a drop toe hold, as Revision holds his face in pain, the Sexy Goddess comes off the ropes and nails a dropkick right in his face. Sofia makes her way over outside onto the ring apron, waiting for Revision to get to his feet, leaping up the ropes, diving at him for a Springboard Hurri- REVISION CATCHES HER BY SURPRISE WITH A JUMPING SHOTEI! As Sofia holds her cheek with one of her hands, the Rock Superstar goes for the free arm and whips her with an armdrag, going straight into an armbar. Revision wrenches on her arm a bit before lifting her up while keeping the armbar locked, walking with her in front towards Cody, the Rock Superstar saying, “I’m going to enjoy having my way with her, if you know what I mean.” This really gets the Burning Avenger’s blood boiling as he tries to enter, only for Mayfair step in and keeping him back to get him out of the ring. While the ref is distracted, Saria hops in the ring and starts striking her arm with driving elbow shots, ordering Revision to let go and get behind Sofia. Saria gets her arm wrapped around her neck setting up for the Flatliner, the Rock Superstar jumps up and nails Sofia with an enzugiri as Saria uses the momentum to hit the Flatliner. Mayfair manages to get Cody to leave the ring, hearing Revision making a tagging sound as he makes his way out for Saria makes her way to the top rope, taunting the crowd a bit to a hail of boos, jumping off and nailing the Sexy Goddess with the CONSIDER THIS!!! Saria hooks the leg for the cover….

1… 2… Thr…

Sofia manages to kick out after that assault by the AoA.

Nalick lifts her up wile delivering some clubbing forearm shots, whipping her to the ropes and catching her on the way back with an armdrag. Saria lifts up the Sexy Goddess to her knees before putting her in a standing head scissors, lifting her up to a crucifix hold, dropping her with a Crucifix Bomb. Nalick doesn’t go for the pin as she takes Sofia by her arm and drags her to the nearest corner, she makes her way to the top turnbuckle, slowly rising up and standing straight up, bouncing off the ropes and backflipping forwards for the Shooting Star Press….only to hit nothing but the canvas. Sofia managed to move out of Saria’s path just in time and starts assaulting Saria with knee shots to the stormach. Sofia tries to do a whip to the ropes but Nalick counters and sends her to the ropes instead, as she tries to catch her on the way back from the ropes, the Sexy Goddess turns her body and jumps up, striking Nalick with a running hip smash that would make Shiro Koshinaka blush. Saria slowly rises to one knee looking insulted by Sofia’s attack, not noticing the Sexy Goddess coming off the ropes and nailing Nalick with the GLOWING VALKYRIE!!! Sofia looks over at Cody, who’s sticking out his arm and asking for the tag, but the offensive attack took some energy away as Sofia is slowly crawling to her corner. At the same time, Saria starts coming back to her senses and starts crawling over to Revision, but turns around and gets a hold of Sofia’s leg, dragging her away from Cody. Saria lifts Sofia from behind setting up for a German Suplex, but Sofia pulls a standing switch and ducks down to lift Nalick up onto her shoulders, crossing her arms and falling back, hitting the JAPANESE OCEAN CYCLONE SUPLEX!!! Sofia doesn’t keep the hold down as she makes her way back towards Cody while Saria turns in pain and crawls over back to Revision. The Rock Superstar reaches just enough to make the tag with Saria, but the moment he hops into the ring and charging at the Sexy Goddess, she makes the hot tag to the Burning Avenger to loud cheers, the Openweight Champion says to Revision, “It’s payback time, b***h!”

Both men start slugging each other with punches before Bogard takes control and throws a barrage of jabs, giving a little taunt and drilling Revision with a Bionic Elbow. The Burning Avenger starts getting all psyched up by the offense and the cheers from the crowd, stalking the slowly rising Revision from behind and locking in a half nelson hold, shifting over and dropping into a Half Nelson facebuster. Cody slides back over to the Rock Superstar and locks in another half nelson hold, lifting him and tries to go for the Half Nelson Suplex, but Revision starts to fight back with some back elbow shots, managing to make Cody to release the hold as Revision pulls a standing switch and locks in a half nelson clutch and nails Bogard with the We’reNotGonnaTakeItPlex!!! Revision picks up Bogard and quickly locks in a front facelock, swinging his leg first and spiking Cody to the mat with a Spike DDT. The Rock Superstar pulls Cody up and starts to nail him with palm strikes, leading him to the corner as he runs over to the opposite corner from the Burning Avenger, making his run and going into a cartwheel, turning into a back handspring and goes for the LIKE A HURRI-BUT NO! Bogard moves out of the way before Revision makes the attack, but Revision lands on the ropes with cat like skill, turning around and leaping at Cody….. ANSWERING BACK WITH A JUMPING PALM STRIKE TO REVISON, KNOCKING HIM IN MIDAIR!!! Cody shouts at the top of his lungs, “THAT’S A REAL SHOTEI!!!” moving over and picking the Rock Superstar up, shifting behind him and lifting him into a German Suplex, keeping the hold locked in as he rolls back to his feet with Revision, shifting his arms into a sleeper hold and wrenching his neck, leaning back and hitting the Rage of the Dragons, still keeping the hold to the amazement of the crowd as Bogard lifts Revision up once more, this time shifting to a full nelson hold while applying a wrist hold on both wrists and drills him with the NEO DEADLY RAVE!!! Cody bridged his body for the cover…

1… 2… Thre…

Saria comes diving in from the outside to break up the pin.

Sofia enters the ring the moment Saria breaks up the pin, both women start striking each other as both men take their time to recover. Nalick takes control and whips her to the ropes but Sofia leaps up and throws her down with a smooth and fluid head scissors takeover. The Sexy Goddess takes her over to the corner, slumped into a sitting position against the bottom turnbuckle as she starts nailing her face with some hip strikes, running over to the ropes and striking her on the way with a running hip smash, finishing a rather innovative variation of a Face Wash combo, but instead of using boots to the head, Sofia used her hips. Sofia helps pick Saria up to her feet as she leads her forward a bit as Cody stands on one side of Saria while Sofia stands on the other side, both SA members leaping up and sandwiching Nalick’s head with Twin Back Brain Kicks. Sofia lifts Nalick up to her shoulders and drivers her to the mat with a Death Valley Driver. The Sexy Goddess has Saria set up for the Japanese Ocean Suplex, just as she Saria about ready to lift her, Cody comes dashing in and nails the EXCALIBUR SLASH, with Sofia using the added momentum to hit the JAPANESE OCEAN SUPLEX!!! As Sofia shoves her over the outside, Bogard turns his focus over to Revision and lifts him up for the TWILIG- but Revision manages to slide off of his shoulders and catches Cody with a Victory Roll. The moment the ref has his focus on the pin, Revision places his feet on the ropes for leverage…

1… 2… 3!!!

DING! DING! DING!

*Revision quickly gets his feet off the ropes before the referee notices, quickly sliding out to aid Saria to her feet on the outside.*

Roselyn: You’re winners of the match, Saria Nalick and Revision!

*While in the ring, Cody starts arguing to Mayfair that Revision’s feet were on the ropes, with the crowd chanting, “He was robbed! He was robbed! He was robbed!” Both men start arguing more until Sofia comes over to separate both men, the Burning Avenger turning his attention over to the Rock Superstar. Revision makes a motion saying that he wants Cody’s title, which Bogard answers back with a cold, dead stare. The cameras switch over to the announcer’s area as they begin hyping up the second Soul Survivor qualifier match between The Hollywood Highlight, Killa Kal and the Cocky Canadian, Dante Cabrell.*

Darson Grays vs Andrew Clearwater

Brianna Rach enters the ring, the crowd getting excited for the main event, knowing that they're going to be seeing something the GWA normally doesn't put out.

Brianna: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with no time limit and NO disqualifications! Your referee is Peter London."

The arena explodes in boos at the sound of London's name, some fans launching some toilet paper towards the ring, seeming to be aiming it right for the ref's head, though none actually manage to hit him. "I HOPE YOU GET HIT WITH A CHAIR YOU USELESS PIECE OF s**t!" "PUT ON A HATED COSTUME, I WANT TO SEE DAR KICK YOUR a**!" "CHOKE ON s**t!"

The crowd's animosity towards London fades away as usual as something else catches their attention, three quick cymbal crashes coming over the speakers as the lights flash three times, then dim down to an ice blue glow as a verse from "Hatred" kicks in, the crowd directing their jeers and boos elsewhere, though there's still a few scattered cheers around the arena, those also being the people pounding the barriers or clapping along with the slow beat.

I crush your bones
I kill your face
I rip your flesh
I AM THE CHASE!

You meet with terror
You draw the ace
I rule the world
The rats that race

Muahahahaha...

As the unsettling laughter fades out, a swooping sound fills the youth center before being replaced by a guitar riff, hard percussion beats coming in as well as more blue lights start to flash over the curtains. A high, wailing scream pierces above the sounds of the fans, signalling that "Bullet Train" by Judas Priest has begun. The song gets heavier as it nears the first verse, Dar finally throwing open the curtains as the lyrics begin, walking out into the aisle and looking down toward the ring. The Samoan doesn't have his usual white longcoat with him, this time just dressed in his wrestling tights and the t-shirt that's normally under the coat.

Brianna: "Making his way to the ring...From American Samoa, weighing two hundred ninety pounds...He is a member of the Apostles of Amaranthine and the Archetypal Assassin...'Generally Hostile' DARSON GRAYS!!!"

Flexing his fingers in and out of fists as he makes his way down towards the ring, Dar ignores any of the fans trying to lean over and pat his back, occasionally swatting one away, but not paying much attention to it. Once at the end of the aisle, Dar looks up towards the ring for a moment, but the crowd suddenly erupts in cheers as Hated comes charging out through the curtains to knock Dar over from behind! London looks on from his place inside the ring, knowing this is No DQ, and decides to call for the bell.

DING DING DING!!!

Hated throws several punches down at the back of Dar's head while he's on the ground, the Samoan getting up to his feet quickly and stumbling away to try and get his bearings, but Hated follows after him, throwing him into the guard-rail back first. Hated then pulls Dar towards the ring, knocking him across the back of his head with a forearm before going to slam his face down into the side of the ring, but Dar stops himself with one arm, using the other to grab Hated's head and bash his face intot he apron. Hated stumbles back to the railing, then runs forward, Dar quickly reaching down and throwing him up, Hated grabbing the top rope to land standing on the apron behind Dar. Dar quickly turns around and swings his arm out to try and sweep Hated's legs out from under him, but Hated jumps over it and lands a kick right to Dar's head on the way down, making him stumble back into the barrier. Hated quickly jumps up onto the middle rope, flipping back into an ASAI MOONSAULT!!! Hated and Dar go crashing to the ground as the crowd lets out a huge cheer, though feeling a little concerned for Hated, as his shins and knees landed right on top of the guard rail with that move. Dar lays back against the guard rail, rolling his head from side to side as he tries to recover from the move while Hated rolls onto his back on the ground, holding his knees in pain. Finally, though, the Cynical Shogun picks his way up to his feet and pulls Dar up, rolling him into the ring.

Hated follows him in, raising one arm in the air before hitting a few stomps to Dar's head as he tries to roll back over to the corner, using the ropes to start to pull himself up to his feet, only for Hated to level him with a hard punch to the face. Hated mocks Dar for a few moments before turning out to the crowd and playing up to them, turning around just in time to get hit with a CHARGING ELBOW! Hated goes rolling backwards and all the way back up to his feet before collapsing in the corner, Dar running forward to nail him with a hard Clothesline back into the turnbuckles. Hated drops down to a seated position as Dar grabs the ropes, picking his foot up and beginning the FACE WASH! Dar's boot goes scraping right across Hated's face a few times before he turns and runs to the opposite set of ropes, coming back for a RUNNING BOOT SCRAPE!!! The crowd lets out an "OHHHH!" at that one, as Dar seemed to have hit the move harder than usual, Hated rolling out of the corner and clutching his face in pain. Dar reaches down to grab his t-shirt and pull it off, throwing it outside the ring before picking Hated up and locking him in for an EXPLODER SUPLEX! Hated lands on his shoulders rather than his head, but Dar picks him right back up and lands another Exploder, rolling through it to lock his head under Hated's arm and connect with a Northern Lights Suplex! Bridge! "1...2..." Hated kicks out. Dar lifts him back up to his feet, hitting him with a Headbutt that sends Hated reeling back into the corner. Dar follows up with a vicious chop across Hated's chest, causing him to drop down to one knee and bend over to guard his chest from any further attacks, but Dar just swings his arms around to land a Mongolian Chop right on Hated's unprotected back, making him cry out and arch in pain.

Dar lifts Hated up and goes to whip him into the opposite corner, only for Hated to send him into it instead before running forward. Dar nails him with an elbow to the jaw before he can connect with anything, though, picking him up and throwing him up over the ropes as Hated charges again. Hated grabs the top rope, however, landing on the apron and ducking another elbow from Dar to thrust his shoulder into Dar's stomach, flipping forward over the top rope and rolling over Dar's back, turning around to throw a Jumping Calf Kick at his face. Dar manages to block it, pushing his leg backward, Hated managing to land on his feet again and ducking a Clothesline, turning around to jump up and hit Dar with the kick this time, nailing him right in the face with the back of his leg. Dar gets knocked down, but quickly rolls up to his feet and back into a corner, Hated charging him and hitting a Step-Up Enzuigiri! Dar slumps into the ropes after getting kicked right in the side of the head, Hated pulling him out of the corner as Dar tries to stay up on his feet, Hated quickly jumping up onto the top turnbuckle and turning around to throw himself off with a Missile Dropkick right to the back of Dar's head! Hated gets up on his knees and throws one arm up in the air again before covering Dar and hooking the leg for a pin. "1...2..." Dar kicks out. Hated stands up and looks down at Dar for a few moments, then rolls out of the ring, crouching down next to it and pushing the apron up, his eyes lighting up as he sees something beneath the ring. Reaching down in, Hated works on pulling it out, finally standing back up holding a LADDER! The crowd immediately begins to cheer at the sight of the weapon, knowing that the match is about to get a lot more exciting with weapons being introduced this early.

Hated pushes the ladder into the ring before sliding in after it, standing up and picking it up to place it against the corner, leaning it a little so that it'll stay standing as Dar starts to get up to his feet. Hated plows Dar into the corner with another big right hand before grabbing his arm and WHIPPING HIM INTO THE LADD-NO! Dar manages to slide down and avoid getting into it at the last second, standing up as Hated charges and grabbing him for a RELEASE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX INTO THE LADDER!!! Dar manages to both land Hated on his head and slam his back into the ladder, the crowd cringing at the cracking sound heard as Hated connects with the metal. Hated rolls over onto his stomach, his face showing exactly how much pain he's in now as he rolls to the outside. Dar calls for a chair, a still-faithful fan quickly standing up and folding his up to throw it into the ring, Dar catching it before turning to throw it down over the ropes right into Hated. Dar climbs out of the ring before taking the chair and setting it up facing the ropes, picking Hated up and standing him in front of the chair, trying to push him down into it, but Hated knows something bad is coming if he does. Unfortunately for him, Dar gets frustrated with it and instead decides to knock him down in it with a BURNING ELBOW SMASH! Hated collapses back into the chair as Dar rolls back into the ring, pointing down at Hated and drawing his thumb across his throat before running to the ropes, coming back to dive through them with an ELBOW SUICIDAAAAAAA!!! Dar's elbow connects right with Hated's face, sending him and the chair tumbling over backwards as the crowd gets up to their feet, pounding the barrier and cheering wildly for the dive maneuver, though knowing Hated is in a lot of trouble after that move.

Dar climbs back up onto the apron after getting up to his feet, knocking the ladder over from its place in the corner before pulling it to the outside, the crowd looking a little worried, wondering what he's going to be doing with it. Dar sets the ladder up so that it's laying across the aisle, one end set on the ring apron, the other on the top of the guard rail. Hated rolls back into the ring at this point, probably trying to get away from whatever Dar has planned, but Dar follows him in, picking him up and connecting with an elbow before lifting Hated up on his shoulder, walking over towards the ropes to throw him over them. Hated manages to slip off Dar's shoulder, though, pushing him into the ropes and running forward, only to have Dar throw him up over the ropes onto the ladd-no! Hated grabs the top rope and stands on the ring apron, walking backwards across the ladder as Dar climbs out onto it to follow him, Hated suddenly hitting him with a low blow before grabbing his head and hitting a DDT ON THE LADDER!!! The crowd lets out a burst of cheers as Dar gets his head driven down into the metal, the ladder collapsing off the ring barrier as Hated rolls to the side, Dar laying up against the railing and looking almost unconscious after that. Hated stands up several seconds later and sets the ladder back up in its former position ducking under it to get to Dar as he hits him with a few punches before WHIPPING HIM INTO THE LADD-NO! Dar slides down under it, only for Hated to DROPKICK THE LADDER INTO HIS FACE! The ladder slides right along the barrier and ring apron to slam into Dar's face, knocking the Samoan over as the crowd lets out a huge cheer once again, seeing that Hated is back in control of the match.

Hated climbs over the ladder as it collapses once again, picking Dar up and rolling him into the ring, quickly sliding in and going for a pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" Dar kicks out, showing that it's going to take a lot to put the Samoan down. Hated rolls out of the ring, walking over to grab a chair from the corner of the barrier and asking for one from the crowd, seeing as the one he had been sitting in earlier had collapsed from the impact. Hated walks back over and throws both chairs back into the ring, London quickly stepping back, not wanting to get hit, though neither one hit either Dar or him. Hated slides back in and folds up one chair, waiting as Dar starts to stand up, then throws the chair right at his head! The seat portion of the chair folds outward, leaving the chair wrapped around Dar's head as he collapses to the side, the crowd cringing at the impact on that. Hated has to go over and ask for another chair from an official after that, as he apparently needs two for whatever he's planning, and the one on Dar's head is twisted beyond use now. Hated sets the chairs up facing one another, then quickly moves over to the edge of the ring to pull the ladder back inside, setting it up with its ends on the two chairs. Dar seems to be having trouble getting up to his feet, but its understandable after all those attacks to his head, Hated pulling him into a Front Facelock and setting him up for a VERTICAL SUPLEX ON THE LADD-NO! Dar swings over Hated's shoulders to land behind him, only for Hated to turn around and hit him with a boot to the gut, picking him up for an AIR SUPPLY ON THE LADDER!!! Dar goes crashing down through the ladder with that STO, the ladder buckling under his weight as the crowd explodes in cheers, Hated pulling him off the ladder to pin him. "1...2...THR-NO!" Dar somehow gets a shoulder up!

Hated looks over towards London as if asking if it was really only a two count, and London assures him it was. Cries of "COUNT FASTER YOU DUMB ********!" and "THREE IS THE NUMBER THAT COMES AFTER TWO!" come from the crowd, Hated just shaking his head as he picks up one of the chairs, folding it back up and waiting as Dar slowly starts to get up to his feet. Hated charges forward, bringing the chair up over his head to swing down, but Dar suddenly Dropkicks his knee out from under him, sending Hated crashing to the mat. Dar runs back to the ropes as Hated starts to get back up to his feet, Dar once again Dropkicking his knee out from under him, but with a lot more force behind it this time, making Hated roll onto his back and clutch his leg, still hurting from landing the Asai Moonsault on the barrier from earlier. Dar quickly stands up, grabbing Hated's leg and rolling him onto his stomach, pulling it back to lock in the SAMOAN HALF CRAB! Dar stays standing with the hold, extending Hated's leg even further and stepping on the back of his head for leverage, pulling back on his leg and locking his arm in the back of his knee to work that joint rather than just Hated's back. Hated cries out in pain, but refuses to tap out, flailing his arms out towards the ropes, even though he can't get a rope break in this type of match. Finally, the strain on Dar's back from applying the move gets too much and he lets go, deciding to go for another tactic. Picking the chair up that Hated was going to use to hit him in the head earlier, Dar sets it up, then lifts Hated up, turning him upside down while facing him and turning to face the chair, stepping forward so that his legs are on either side of it. The crowd immediately begins to cry out as they realize what he's going to do, but they can't stop him from hitting a SHARP PILEDRIVER ON THE CHAIR!!! Hated's head gets spiked down into the set-up steel chair, the chair itself collapsing under the force as Dar rolls Hated onto his back for the pin. "1...2...THR-NO!!! HATED GETS A SHOULDER UP!"

The crowd, London, and Dar are all amazed that Hated managed to get out of that, wondering how it was possible to still even be conscious after getting Piledriven into a chair. Dar looks over towards London, but then just shakes his head, rolling outside the ring and looking very pissed off. Hated seems to barely be able to move, holding his head with one arm and reaching out with his other for something, but there's nothing in front of him. Dar pulls the apron up and reaches down to pull out ANOTHER LADDER! The crowd looks concerned rather than happy at the entrance of another weapon, Dar pushing it into the ring and just leaving it lying flat on the mat as he pulls Hated up, wrapping his arms around his waist and flipping him up for an X-DRILLER ON THE LADD-NO! HATED FLIPS OVER DAR'S SHOULDER TO HIT THE HORRIFIC MADNESS!!! The extra-powerful Neckbreaker sends Dar rolling across the mat and clutching the back of his neck in pain, Hated flopping onto his back and panting heavily, probably realizing that he just dodged the bullet with that one. Hated finally pushes himself up to his feet, seeming to be having trouble standing, though it's not surprising after getting Piledriven into a steel chair. Walking over to Dar, he picks him up, whipping him into the corner and hitting a hard chop and several punches before pushing him up onto the top turnbuckle, turning around and grabbing both of Dar's arms to pull him off the top with an ICONOCLASM!!! Dar goes crashing face-first into the mat as Hated rolls him over onto his back for a pin. "1...2...THR-NO! DAR GETS A SHOULDER UP!" Dar still has some life left as he rolls over onto his back, holding his face in pain from the move.

Hated looks frustrated that he didn't get the pin with that one, picking Dar back up and whipping him into another corner, once again pushing him up onto the top rope before turning around and grabbing his arms, going for another ICONOCLAS-NO! Dar swings down to land in front of Hated, only to be hit with a boot to the face. Dar stumbles back, but then raises his forearms up and blocks a Clothesline from Hated, spinning around for a ROARING ELBOW!!! Dar connects with Hated's jaw, the Cynical Shogun crumpling to the mat before Dar reaches down and picks him back up, turning him to face away and tucking his head under his arm for the DANGEROUS BACKDROPPAAAAHHHHHH!!! BRIDGE! "1...2...THR-NO!" Once again, Hated somehow manages to kick out. Dar rolls out of the ring to the outside, grabbing one of the two tables set up there and pulling it closer to the corner. Dar then rolls back into the ring, only to push Hated out of it, sliding to the outside and pushing him up next to the table and connecting with a BURNING ELBOW SMASH! Hated falls backwards onto the table, Dar laying him lengthwise along it before turning to grab a chair from another crowd member picking it up and slamming it down into Hated's chest. Once done, he turns and climbs up onto the apron, making his way up to the top turnbuckle and turning towards Hated, only to have the Cynical Shogun toss the chair up right into his face, sending the Samoan crashing back down to the mat. Hated grabs the other table, pushing it in under the bottom rope into the ring and setting it up by the corner, turning to throw a boot into Dar's chest as he leans back against the turnbuckles. Hated then lifts Dar up onto the top turnbuckle, climbing up as well and hitting him with a few punches before standing him up completely, hooking him in a Front Facelock and lifting him up for an AVALANCHE BRAINBUSTER THROUGH THE TA-NOOO!!! DAR SWINGS BACK DOWN TO THE TURNBUCKLE...EXPLODER DANGEROOOOOOOOUUUUUUSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Hated and Dar go falling all the way from the top turnbuckle down through the table that Hated had been laying on before on the outside, the crowd jumping up to their feet and exploding in cheers, pounding the barriers and immediately starting up a "HOLY s**t!" chant. Hated took the brunt of the move, crashing through the table on his shoulders and upper back, while Dar had just knocked his head off the edge of it, both men laying in the shattered remains of the table as the crowd chants around them. London quickly climbs down out of the ring, running over to both men and checking to make sure they didn't die after that insane move. Both men seem to still be showing signs of life, Dar rolling slowly over towards the ring and shaking his head, Hated just breathing heavily. However, with no disqualifications and the lack of count-outs in GWA, it seems the two will have to get back in the ring in order to win the match. Finally, Dar slowly starts to pull himself back up to his feet with help of the ropes, standing for a few moments on his own before picking Hated up, who seems still mostly to be dead weight. Dar rolls Hated back into the ring, sliding in after him along with London and flopping over him for a pin. "ONE...TWO...THREE-NOOOO!!! THE DREAM IS STILL ALIVE!" Hated gets a shoulder up, the crowd erupting in cheers once again as Dar rolls off him, shaking his head slowly and holding it in his hands. Finally, the Samoan gets back up to his feet, looking out towards the crowd as they start a "LET'S GO HATED!" chant and promptly flipping them off.

Hated finally starts to get back up to his feet, looking over towards Dar as he comes off the ropes with a LARIAT!...BUT HATED STAYS UP! Hated slowly steps back a few feet, then runs back towards the ropes, coming back with his own LARIAT! Dar doesn't go down, both men staring at each other for a few moments and we have a LARIAT DUEL! Both men trade another Lariat before Dar runs back for another one, Hated suddenly ducking this one and spinning around for a DISCUS NORTHERN LARIAT! Dar drops down to one knee from the force of the move, having been hit in the back of the head, and Hated quickly runs to the ropes in front of him as Dar stands up, connecting with one final LARIATOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The crowd can see the force that Hated hit Dar with that one, the Samoan sent crashing to the mat like a falling tree, Hated dropping over him for a pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOO!!! DAR GETS A SHOULDER UP!" Hated sits up on his knees, looking down at Dar and shaking his head, wondering what he's going to have to do to put him down. Finally, though, Hated looks over at the ladder still laying in the ring from earlier and walks over to pick it up, standing it up in the ring a little ways away from Dar. The Samoan starts to get up to his feet at this point, but Hated turns and quickly moves behind him, dropping Dar with a Russian Legsweep. Once that's done, Hated stands up again, then points up at the top of the ladder, the crowd erupting into cheers as they realize what he's going to do. The Cynical Shogun turns and slowly starts to make his way up the ladder, making sure it's sturdy enough to hold him, taking his time. This proves to be a mistake though, as Hated turns to play up to the crowd as Dar gets up to his feet, Hated turning just in time to see Dar SHOVE THE LADDER OVER! HATED FALLS ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP TO THE OUTSIDE!!!

Hated barely misses landing on the guard rail, landing on the floor next to it and weakly rolling onto his back, looking very out of it. Dar shakes his head slowly, the adrenaline finally starting to wear off, pain now shooting through his back. The Samoan does his best to ignore it, however, folding the ladder back up and sliding it out through the bottom rope to the outside. Climbing out of the ring afterwards, Dar takes the ladder and sets it up on the ring barrier so that it's laying diagonal, sloping down from the top near the barrier to the bottom near the ring. Once finished with that, he heads back over to grab Hated, pulling him up to his feet and dragging him over to the ladder, laying him down on it and bashing him with a Headbutt to keep him there. Once that's done, Dar rolls back into the ring, pointing down at Hated and drawing his thumb across his throat before dashing across the ring, coming off the ropes to dive back through with a TOPÉ SUICIDAAAAAAA!!!...BUT HATED ROLLS OFF AND DAR GOES CRASHING INTO THE LADDER!!! The ladder once again buckles under the weight of Dar as he goes flying into it face and chest-first. The crowd erupts into cheers, pounding the barriers madly as Hated lays on the ground next to the crumpled ladder, Dar seeming unconscious after that. Hated knows this is his chance, though, and gets up to his feet as fast as he can after getting dumped off a ladder to the outside, pulling Dar off of it and rolling him back into the ring, sliding in after him and quickly rolling him onto his back, hooking the leg for a pin as the crowd stands up. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOO!!! DAR GETS A SHOULDER UP!" Despite how hard Dar crashed into the ladder, it still apparently wasn't enough to keep him out of the match, Hated rolling over onto his side afterwards, seeming discouraged, as neither of these men have gone down despite the best efforts of their opponent.

Slowly both men start to get up to their feet, turning towards one another as Dar throws an elbow into Hated's jaw, Hated responding with a punch, the two of them trading strikes as they slowly push themselves up to a vertical base. Finally, Hated grabs Dar's head, pulling him forward into the FEATURE PRESENTATION HEADBUTTS!!! The crowd cheers loudly as Hated holds onto Dar's head tightly, throwing those headbutts right at him. Finally, after about six or seven, he backs off, only for Dar to suddenly grab him by the throat, pulling him into his own HEADBUTTS!!! Hated stumbles back, holding his head and trying to stay upright on his wobbly legs, but then grits his teeth and grabs Dar's head again, pulling him into more FEATURE PRESENTATION HEADBUTTS!!! Dar actually steps back a few times after these, but the Samoan skull wins out as he grabs Hated by the throat again, pulling him into more HEADBUTTS!!! But right after he finishes with that, Dar lifts Hated up for a NODOWA OTOSHI!!! Hated rolls over onto his side after he gets dropped with the Chokeslam, but then slowly starts to push himself up to his feet, absolutely refusing to stay down in this test of endurance. Dar watches him, but then connects with a boot to the gut as almost reaches his vertical base, Hated doubling over in pain before Dar turns around and hooks his arms, turning his body to hook his legs up over his shoulders and dropping back for the LOVE LIES BLEEEEEEEEDI-NOOOO!!! HATED DROPS BACK AND PULLS DAR INTO A SCHOOLBOY ROLLUP!!! "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOOO!!!!! DAR KICKS OUT!" Hated doesn't stop, though, quickly reaching over and grabbing a chair as Dar starts to stand up, BASHING HIM IN THE FACE WITH THE CHAIR! Dar stays standing, but ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT brings him down to one knee, Hated HITTING HIM WITH THE CHAIR OVER AND OVER! The chair begins to warp from the force of being smashed against Dar's head, and finally the Samoan drops down to the mat, barely holding himself up now with his hands. Suddenly, though, Dar pushes himself up to one knee, letting out a roar as he lunges towards Hated...ONLY FOR HATED TO BREAK THE STEEL CHAIR OVER HIS HEAD!!! The back portion of the chair goes flying off to the side of the ring as the chair folds itself around Dar's head, the Samoan collapsing to the mat, bleeding from his forehead as Hated drops down over him and weakly rolls him onto his back for a pin. "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!"

The crowd EXPLODES with cheers as Hated rolls off Dar, breathing heavily and shaking his head slowly, seemingly unable to believe all that just happened in the match.

Brianna: "Here is your winner...ANDREW 'HATED' CLEARWATER!!!"

The crowd remains on their feet, giving both men a standing ovation for how much fortitude they both showed with that match, even though it seems Dar is unable to hear them due to being knocked unconscious by that last chair shot. London crouches over him, seeming to be checking up on the Samoan. Hated slowly makes his way to his feet with help of the ropes, a huge smile on his face, knowing he just got the first big victory against the Apostles for the GWA locker room. Suddenly, though, the celebration ends as STEVE TWIST, KILLA KAL AND REVISION RUN DOWN THE AISLE TO THE RING!

Hated doesn't really have anywhere to go, and after that exhausting match, he can barely fight back as the three Apostles gang up on him, Kal and Revision knocking him down to the mat and beginning to stomp on his torso and face as Twist mocks him before walking over to look in on Dar. Suddenly, the crowd's boos at this turn into cheers as ICE, CODY BOGARD AND UNHOLY MEATPUPPET RUN DOWN THE AISLE! The GWA locker room has come back to defend their own, the three Apostles quickly picking their man and getting into brawls all around the ring, Cody and Revision going after one another while Steve takes on Ice and Puppet goes after Killa K. There seems to be no clear winner in this brawl.

Drake Roberts: This war is getting out of hand, Claire!

Despite the differences amongst the wrestlers in the GWA locker room, it seems that they are finally Taking a Stand...
