“Introducing, from Boston, Massachusetts weighing in at 246 pounds, Kid Chaos.”

“Clenched Fist" begins to blares over the sound system the fans all turn and look to see where Kid Chaos is coming from as the song keeps playing

Pain makes me stronger
Everyday
Life is chaos
You gotta deal with it

Expressing my aggressions
Through confusion
Face reality
Nothing is like it used to be

Don’t tell me I don’t know
You don’t live in my war
Revolt and anger
I won’t take it anymore

Then a figure dressed in a black hooded rob emerges in the crowd, and makes their way down the aisles. This figure is surrounded by four security guards. The figure makes their way to the security rail, and then stands with one on top of it and the other on the bottom of the rail. They have their right hand raised high above their head holding a barbed-wire bat. Then they then hop over the security rail making their way to the ring. The figure then places the barbed-wire bat in one of the corners behind the posts, and onto the apron then from their they climb the turnbuckle form the outside. They place one foot on the second turnbuckle, and the other foot on the top turnbuckle. Then they do a duel throat cut, and stretch out their arms. They then give a duel thumbs down they hold this pose for ten seconds before climbing down getting back on the apron. They then reach into the black void where a face should be, and pull out a pair of black sunglasses folding them up. They Figure then hands the sunglasses to the waiting technician.

"Making his way to the ring, from Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, weighing in at 263 pounds, Raymond KAGE!"

All the houselights turn down as "Black Label" by Lamb of God begins to play. As soon as the song's beat picks up, two white lights in the arena begin to strobe on and off rapidly as they converge on the top of the walkway.

By the time the intro to the song ends, Randy Blythe's harsh screech fills the arena and Kage leaps out of the curtain at the end of the walkway, headbanging and thrashing about like a lunatic before sprinting headlong towards the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope.

Kage springs up to his feet quickly and begins hammering one of the corner turnbuckles with his fists, his rage and fury mixing quite well with the intense music blasting through the loudspeakers.

After a few moments more of Kage flailing about, he leaps onto the second turnbuckle of the corner he was beating on and outstretches his arms, with his palms wide open as he stares at the ceiling of the Arena and spits skyward before turning to face Chaos.

The ref makes sure that both men are ready then calls for the bell ding...ding...ding
Chaos uses the ropes to pull him self up to his feet. Chaos looks across the ring at Kage the two men walk to the center of the ring. Kage puts his hands up for a lock up Chaos does the same and the two men lock up in the center of the ring for a test of strength. Both men struggle to gain control, but Kage is starting to overpower Chaos. Kage places his left leg behinds Chaos’ right leg. Then Kage pushes forward on Chaos’ upper body, and uses his leg to trip Chaos sending him back first into the matt. Kage goes down to the matt with Chaos still having their hands locked together. Once on the matt Kage pushes his lower body up off the matt using his hand to hold him self up. Kage comes crashing down driving both off his knees right into Chaos’ stomach. Kage rolls off of Chaos who is clenching his stomach in pain. Kage gets to his feet, and walks over to Chaos grabbing him by the hair. Kage then pulls Chaos up to his knees, and from there to his feet. Chaos is still holding onto his stomach and is doubled over. Kage places Chaos in a front face lock, and then Kage grabs Chaos’ left hand Kage pulls on his arm swinging Chaos. Kage drives Chaos’ neck into his shoulder with the swinging neckbreaker.

Clancy: Kage has really been on the attack since this match started.

Robertson: This has been as Physical as we thought it was going to be, but a lot more one sided.

Both men are laid out on the matt , but Kage is the first to move of the two men. Kage gets to his feet, and walks over to Chaos who has managed to push him self up to his knees.

Chaos out of no where with counter headbutts of his own. Chaos hits Kage with 3 hard headbutts before kneeing Kage right in the stomach. Chaos lets go of Kage as he doubles over. Chaos places Kage’s head in-between his legs, and then locks his arms around Kage’s waist before throwing him down hard on his shoulders and neck with a power bomb.

Clancy: Where did Kid Chaos pull that power bomb from. I mean it has been all
Raymond Kage since the bell rang

Robertson: It is still early in the match.

Chaos drops down to a knee, and is holding his forehead. Kage is laid out on his back, and is showing no sings of moving. Chaos gets up to his feet, and walks over to Kage. Chaos uses his foot, and rolls Kage over onto his stomach. Chaos grabs Kage’s right leg with his right arm then sits down on Kage’s back pulling back on Kage’s right leg lock Kage in a Single Leg Boston Crab. Chaos is pulling back pretty hard on Kage’s right leg. Chaos reaches back with his free left hand, and paint brush slaps the back of Kage’s head mocking him. Kage tries push him self up, and with great effort he is able to push him self up off the matt. With that done Kage starts dragging himself towards the ropes with all his might as Chaos is fighting him every inch of the way. Kage fights on through the pain of the submission hold he is locked in. Kage is inching himself towards the ropes, and is bale able to get a hold of them. The ref tells Chaos to breaks the hold or he is going to start the count to disqualify him. Chaos stands up still holding onto Kage’s right leg, and drags Kage away from the ropes. Once they are away from the ropes Chaos drops down into a sitting position on Kage’s back driving all of his 246 pounds right onto the base of Kage’s spine. Kage yells out in pain as Chaos drives himself into his back. Chaos pulls back on Kage’s right leg again. Kage once more is able to push him self up off the matt, and is able to start dragging himself over towards the ropes. Chaos fights Kage for every inch of progress that he makes, but Kage is once more able to reach the ropes. This time Kage is close enough to the ropes to get a good grip on them. Chaos tries unsuccessfully to pull Kage from the ropes once again. The ref tells to break the hold to which Chaos just shakes his head no. So the ref starts the count on him 1...2...3...4.. Chaos lets go of the hold and gets to his feet backing away from Kage. Kage uses the ropes to slowly pull himself up to his feet. Once up to his feet Kage gets rocked by a hard knee shoot to his lower right back in his kidney area. Kage goes to stumble forward, but Chaos grabs his hair to stop him from moving. Chaos then pulls back Kage, and locks him into a reverse front face lock. Chaos then falls flat driving Kage into the matt with a Reverse DDT. Chaos pushes him self up off the matt and crawls over to Kage. Chaos lays Kage’s chest, and hooks Kage’s right leg going for the pin the ref slides into position 1...2. Kage manages to kick out.

Clancy: Kid Chaos is a coward. I mean attacking Kage from behind after he ravaged him in that submission.

Robertson: Kage would have done the same to Chaos. We knew this match was going to be hard hitting and physical going into it. This match is kill or be killed.

Clancy: I guess your right.

Chaos gets to his feet, and yells at the ref that it was a three count the ref. The ref is shaking his head no that it was just a two count. Chaos looks pissed off about this, but gives up trying to get the ref to say it was a three count. Chaos turns around, and get hit square in the jaw with a right jab from Kage. Chaos stumbles back a step after being hit. Kage fallows him to keep up the attack.

Chaos is using the ropes to hold himself up as Kage balls his hands into fist and looks at them. Kage then starts hitting Chaos as fast as he can with both hand switching of between hitting Chaos in the face and the stomach.

Clancy: Raymond Kage pummeling Kid Chaos in the corner with the Flurry.

Robertson: Pummeling! Kage is beating the beating the s**t out of Chaos.

Clancy: Well that is one less classy way of saying it.

Kage stops his onslaught on Chaos. Chaos falls down, and is now siting in the corner. Kage starts climbing up to the second turnbuckle. Once up there Kage pauses for a second then jumps off of the turnbuckle. On the way down Kage tucks in his legs them explodes them out dropkicking Chaos hard right in the chest. Chaos is holding onto to his chest after that vicious dropkick. Kage is laying on his back looking up that the ceiling trying to catch his breath, and figure out what he is going to do next. Kage slowly gets up to his feet, and backs a few steps away from the corner. Kage then charges in hard towards Chaos. Kage hits Chaos hard with a running knee to the face that rocks Chaos. Then Kage takes hold of the Chaos by the legs, and pulls him upwards and backwards. Chaos seems to hanging in mid air before being driven back first into the matt as Kage falls into a sitting position as Chaos hits the matt. Chaos is on his back looking up at the ceiling with Kage’s legs over his shoulders going for a pin. The ref slides into position 1...2.. Chaos is barely able to grab a hold of the ropes with his right hand. The ref tells Kage it was just a two count.

Once Chaos is close enough Kage knees Chaos in the back of the head while using the extra force of driving him into the knee to inflict more damage the lets go of him letting him fall to the matt in a hep.

Clancy: What a combination of moves from Raymond Kage

Robertson: That last one is the on that looks like it hurt the most

Clancy Yeah Kid Chaos might be unconscious from that move.

Kage gloats a little before dropping down to his knee, and rolling over Chaos. Kage hooks Chaos’ right leg going for the pin. The ref is in position, and starts to count the pin 1...2...thre some how Chaos manages to get his left shoulder up off the matt. Kage sits up, and looks like he has seen a ghost. Kage is shaking his head is disbelief as he gets to his feet. Kage grabs a hold of the back of Chaos’ shirt pulling him up to his feet. Kage places Chaos in a side headlock, and walks him over towards the nearest corner. Kage grabs a hold of Chaos around the waist and sits him on the top turnbuckle. Kage rocks Chaos with two hard rights to the face before climbing up to the top turnbuckle. Kage pulls Chaos up, and knees him in the stomach. Kage sets Chaos’ head up in-between his legs. Then Kage grab Chaos around the waist, and lifts Chaos up on his shoulders. Kage turns to face the ring to super bomb Chaos back into it. Once they are facing the ring Chaos starts fighting back raining punches down onto Kage’s fore-head. Chaos is able to slip off of Kage’s shoulders, and land of his feet when he hit the matt. Chaos grabs Kage’s right leg, and pushes it out so Kage loses his balance, and lands the hard way onto the top turnbuckle. Chaos climbs to the second turnbuckle, and places Kage’s head in-between his legs. Then Chaos hooks the Kage’s left arm. Chaos then lifts his Kage up off the turnbuckle, and holds him up for a few seconds. Then Chaos hooks his right arm around the Kage’s right leg. Chaos then looks to the left then to the right then finally Chaos looks straight ahead, and nods. Chaos jumps backwards bringing his legs around the Kage’s heads falling into a Single under hooked Cradle sit out Piledriver from the second turnbuckle.

Clancy: Oh my god Kid Chaos just hit Raymond Kage with a Southie Pride Driver from the second turnbuckle

Robertson: This could be all over right here if Chaos can make the cover

Both men are laid out on the matt neither one is moving. The ref looks over both men, and then starts the count 1...2...3...4...5.Chaos rolls over onto his knees. Chaos crawls over or to Kage, and throws his arms over Kage’s chest the ref drops down to his knees and starts the count. 1...2...thre some how Kage manages to get his left shoulder up off the matt. Chaos rolls off of Kage and sits up shaking his head Chaos gets up to his feet, and looks down at Kage who is still out of it. Chaos quickly rolls Kage over, and drops down to one knee over Kage’s back. Chaos locks his hands under Kage’s chin, and then pulls back on Kage’s neck locking Kage in a Camel Clutch. Kage is trying to fight Chaos’s hands off of his chin. Chaos is able to hold on despite Kage’s best efforts, and starts to pull back even more reaching up the pain that is surging in Kage’s back and neck. Kage is able to push himself up off of the matt, and starts to crawl over towards the ropes with Chaos fighting him the whole way. Kage is struggling inch by inch to reach the ropes and fighting for every breath he takes as the added weight of Chaos on his back makes it harder to breath. After much effort Kage is able to reach the ropes, and grabs a hold of them with both hands. The Ref tells Chaos to let go of the hold to which Chaos just simply shakes his head no, so the Ref starts the count for Chaos to break the hold 1...2...3...4. Chaos lets go of the hold, and gets up to his feet. Chaos then jumps up into the air, and comes crashing down driving his right knee right into the center of Kage’s back.

Clancy: That is dirty I mean Kid Chaos didn’t even give Raymond Kage a chance to get up.

Robertson: So what if Chaos kicked Kage while he was down this is not a
Queensberry rules match this is a knock out drag out brawl between to of the toughest SOB’s in the business.

Clancy: I guess but it is still dirty.

Chaos gets up to his feet, and grabs Kage by the hair pulling him up to his feet. Chaos the rocks Kage with a hard right hook that hits Kage in the cheek. Kage regains his balance, and fires off a stiff left jab that his Chaos in the jaw. The catches Chaos off guard allowing Kage to fallow up with a hard straight right. Before Chaos cane recover Kage hits Chaos with a quick eye rake which blinds Chaos and the ref doesn’t see. Chaos stumbles away blindly towards the other side of the ring, and away from Kage who is fallowing him. Kage spins Chaos around, and kicks him in the stomach doubling him over. Kage then places Chaos in a standing head scissors as if setting him up for a Piledriver, then Kage lifts him up so his chest is level with Kage’s head, then Kage releases Chaos while pushing his legs downward, sending Chaos headfirst to the mat

Clancy: My god a Raymond Kage just hit a Viledriver out of nowhere this could be the end of the match.

Robertson: Dam it you are probably right

Clancy: I mean Kid Chaos put up a hell of a fight but it has to be over.

Kage quickly rolls Chaos over, and goes for the pain the ref drops down into position to count the pin 1...2...th the ref stops the count and tells Kage to break the pin. Kage looks at the ref in a state of utter confusion. The ref points to the ropes Kage looks, and sees that Chaos managed to get his left foot on the bottom rope. Kage looks mad as hell at Chaos for not giving up already. Kage gets to his feet, and reaches down grabbing the back of Chaos’s shirt. Kage uses that to pull Chaos up to his feet. Kage places Chaos in a side head lock, and is punching Chaos in the top of the head as he walks Chaos over to the corner. Kage puts Chaos face first against the turnbuckle and clasps both of his hands together in a double axe handle. Kage then tries to smashes the back of Chaos’ head with the double axe handle, but Chaos manages to drop down to one knee to avoid the attack. Chaos sees an opening, and drives his left elbow hard into Kage’s gut causing him to stumble back a few steps. Chaos gets up to his feet, and grabs the back of Kage’s head throwing him into the corner. Chaos then lets loose with a barrage of knife-edge chops that turns Kage’s chest blood red. Chaos then walks away from Kage mocking him by doing a mock Ric Flare strut Kage comes flying out of the corner, and attacks Chaos with a non-stop assault of punches, elbows, kicks and knees. Kage then tosses Chaos in the Kage fallows Chaos in the corner ripping his shirt off. Then Kage starts to hit Chaos with a flurry of knife-edge chops of his own the turn Chaos’ chest a very bright red. Kage finishes up his assault with a huge upper cut that almost knocks Chaos off of his feet. Kage walks over to Chaos, and lifts him up placing him seated on the top turnbuckle. As Chaos is sitting on the top rope Kage calls out that “He is going to end this match.” Kage walks over to Chaos, and gets flicked in the eye as he is climbing up the turnbuckle. Kage drops down onto the matt grabbing his eye, Chaos grabs a hold of Kage’s shoulders, and turns him around. Chaos then locks his right arm across Kage’s throat. Chaos then locks his left arm under the Kage’s left arm placing them in the katahajime, and starts to choke out Kage. Chaos then places both of his knees at the base of Kage’s back. Chaos while still holding onto the katahajime pushes off of the turnbuckle with his feet and does a 180 in mid air. Then falls backwards driving both of his knees hard into the dead center Kage's spine. Chaos then spreads his knees apart, and locks his legs around the Kage's waist placing them into a body scissors katahajime. Before rolling himself and Kage over onto their sides.

Clancy: What the hell was that?

Robertson: I don’t know you’re the one who is suppose to know all the moves.

Clancy: Well it looked like a modified second rope Back Bay Black-Out.

The ref rushes over to check on Kage. Kage’s eyes are glazed over, and he looks to be barely conscious. The Ref asks Kage if he wishes to give up he is barely able to shake his head no. The Ref is pleading with him to give up, but Kage still refuses to give up. Until he finally seems to slip into unconsciousness. The Ref grabs Kage’s right arm, and lets it fall it hits the matt with a thud. The Ref grabs Kage’s arm a second time, and lets is fall again with the same result as the first time. The Ref grabs Kage’s arm a third time, and lifts it up. The Ref lets go of Kage’s arm, and it lifelessly hits the matt the third time. The ref gets up to his knees, and class for the bell.

The Announcer gets to hit feet with the mic in hand “Your winner by Submission is Kid Chaos”

Chaos lets go of Kage and rolls away from him as “Clenched Fist" begins to blares over the sound system. Chaos heads towards the back as the ref looks over Kage who is still not moving.

Reserved V4

Dar decides not to bother staying in this time, walking back over to tag right out to Kal. Kal seems fine with it, though, walking over to Ice and lifting him up in the air to drop him with another Shinbreaker, letting him fall back down onto the mat. Kal then rolls him onto his stomach, grabbing his leg...and sitting right back into a Half Crab of his own! Ice clenches his fists, pounding them down on the mat, but not tapping out, yelling out "NO!" every time Mayfair asks him if he wants to give up. Kal wrenches back on his leg, making sure to bend it to put the pressure on his knee, while Ice slowly tries to drag himself to the ropes again. It seems as if he's losing strength quickly, though, despite the constant support from the crowd. Luckily for him, Hated decides to get involved again, entering the ring and pushing past the ref to throw a few punches into Kal's face, forcing him to break the hold. Hated quickly backs off again, not wanting to get his team disqualified, while Kal rubs his jaw, looking angrily over at the shogun. Kal stands up, pulling Ice up to his feet as well, and bending his leg once again to lift him up sideways for another Shinbrea-NO! Ice turns and throws a rapid series of punches into Kal's forehead, stunning him enough to make him drop Ice down to the mat. Ice lands on his feet, but almost falls back over from the pain shooting through his leg. Kal quickly shakes out the cobwebs, coming after Ice...AND WALKING RIGHT INTO AN ARCTIC FLASH! Ice throws out the kick with his good leg, but even putting his weight on the other one in order to hit the move sends him down to the mat, cringing and clutching his knee. But Ice knows this is his chance, starting to crawl over towards the ropes...Only to see Kal has grabbed his leg! Kal still seems dazed from that Superkick, but he has enough sense about him to keep Ice from tagging out, holding onto his leg. Hated reaches over the ropes, trying to get the tag out...BUT DAR KNOCKS HIM OFF THE APRON WITH A CHARGING ELBOW! Hated falls to the outside, Dar smirking as he walks over to Kal, the two men pulling Ice up to his feet and setting him up in a Front Facelock, lifting him up to hit a Double Vertical Suplex! Ice lands hard from the move, Kal following up with a pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" The fight is still there, Ice managing to throw a shoulder up to the crowd's relief.

Kal reaches over to tag out to Dar, exiting the ring as the Samoan enters. Ice slowly starts to try and get up to his feet, while Dar mockingly kicks and knees the side of his head, not doing it hard enough to hurt, just enough to be annoying and distracting. Ice manages to make it to the ropes, slowly pushing himself up to his feet, and getting a hard elbow to the face in the process. The Silver Flame doesn't go down, though, straightening up and glaring defiantly at Dar, who throws another elbow into his face. Ice still refuses to fall, taking a step toward the Samoan, but he doesn't have the strength to stay up after a ROARING ELBOW! Dar rolls his neck out, then reaches down to pull Ice up off the mat, then turns him around and shoves his head under his arm. Ice knows what's coming, and quickly pulls himself over to the side, wrapping an arm around the top rope and hanging on for dear life, knowing a Dangerous Backdrop could put him in serious danger at this point. Dar is forced to break the hold now that Ice is on the ropes, but quickly pulls him off of them. Ice suddenly knocks Dar's arms away, though, throwing a kick up into the side of his head and stunning him long enough for Ice to hit a Dropkick right into his knee, knocking the big man down to the mat, though the strike hurts Ice's knee as well. Still, the Silver Flame knows this is his chance, rolling over towards his corner and reaching out as Dar turns to see him...AND ICE GETS THE TAG! The crowd erupts in cheers as Hated quickly enters the ring, grabbing Dar before he can straighten up fully and beginning to lay into him with a series of vicious right hands, pounding his fist into the side of Dar's face over and over. Finally, after sufficiently stunning Dar, Hated stands next to him and latches an arm across his chest, lifting him up for the AIR SUPPL-NO! Dar pushes Hated away at the last second, but Hated moves with the force, hitting the ropes and coming back with a huge LARIAT! Dar goes down from the strike, Hated quickly running over into Dar's corner to knock Kal off the apron, running to the ropes again and hitting a Baseball Slide into the prone Dar, knocking him out of the ring through the bottom ropes, the crowd cheering loudly now that the GWA's wrestlers are back in control.

Hated steps back, looking as if he's waiting for Dar to get back up to his feet, the crowd standing up now as they anticipate a dive, but Hated suddenly runs to the perpendicular set of ropes, throwing himself up for a TOPÉ OVER THE TOP ROPE TO KAL!!! The crowd bursts into cheers, pounding the barriers wildly as Kal gets smashed with the dive, having not expected that at all. Meanwhile, Ice drops off the apron, heading over to where Dar is and grabbing his leg as he starts to get up, forcibly slamming it into the ring barrier, getting himself some payback for all the damage the Apostles have done to his leg. Dar drops back down to the ground as Hated rolls inside, Ice pulling him back up and rolling him into the ring. Hated quickly gets on the attack, dragging Dar up to his feet and bashing him with another punch to the jaw before wrapping an arm around his chest and yelling with exertion as he lifts him up for the AIR SUPPLY!!! The STO shakes the ring as Dar gets slammed down into it, Hated breathing heavily, but quickly hooking his leg for a pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" Dar manages to get a shoulder up, the crowd angry at that. The fans know Hated is back in control now, though, the shogun reaching down to start to pull Dar up, only for the Samoan to lean upwards and smash an elbow into Hated's head. Hated backs up a few steps, but quickly returns to the offensive, starting to lift Dar up only to get another elbow to his head. Hated stumbles back once again, but doesn't give up, this time getting Dar all the way up to his feet, only for Dar to knock his arms away and connect with a ROARING ELBOW! The crowd boos as Hated falls back down to the mat, Dar shaking his head and holding his back for a few moments before walking over to tag out to Kal, taking a break. Kal enters the ring, grabbing Hated and lifting him up to his feet before turning him upside down and carrying him over to the side of the ring, easily tossing him up in the air and causing Hated to land neck-and-chest-first over the top rope! The crowd boos at that tactic, Hated cringing and holding his throat as he falls back onto the mat, Kal following it up with a pin. "1...2..." Hated kicks out, the crowd clapping for it, wanting to see the shogun get back in control of the match quickly.

Kal reaches down to pull Hated up again, this time turning him over and holding him as he did before, but running over to the corner, looking to drop him on the top turnbuckle for a Snake Eye-NO! Hated grabs the top rope and manages to pull his head away just in time, spinning around to send Kal reeling with a DISCUS PUNCH! Kal falls down to the mat, but quickly starts to get back up to his feet, shaking his head to clear it as Hated runs back off the ropes...But before he can attack, Kal sidesteps and grabs the back of his head, pulling him down into a Bulldog! Hated takes a few extra seconds to get up from that one, shakily getting up on his feet and turning around right into a kick to the gut from Kal, who grabs his head and spikes him down with a DDT! Quickly pushing him over onto his back, Kal hooks the leg for a pin. "1...2..." Hated gets a shoulder up. Kal shakes his head, pulling Hated up to his feet and turning him away, tucking his head under his arm. Kal then reaches down, flipping Hated up for the REMI-NO! Ice quickly enters the ring and hits Kal with a kick to the back to stop the move, but as he turns away, Kal quickly turns and slams a EuroCut into the back of his head for his trouble, knocking Ice down to one knee and prompting a stomp from Kal onto his bad leg, sending Ice rolling back out to the apron. Hated gets up to his feet, but isn't able to counter in time to stop Kal whipping him into the ropes, throwing a EuroCut at him on the return, but Hated ducks down and to the side, running to the opposite set and rebounding straight into an AXEHANDLE EUROCUT! Hated stumbles back, then doubles over, holding his head in pain as Kal moves behind him, tucking his head up under his arm once again and flipping Hated up and over his shoulder to pull him down into the REMIX!!! Hated's face gets smashed down into the mat, the crowd booing for the move after having a brief light of hope when Ice attempted to get his partner out of danger. Kal stands up, but decides not to go after a pin, heading back over to his corner and tagging out to Dar.

Dar walks over to Hated, watching as he slowly tries to push himself up, then reaches down, hauling him up to his feet and beginning to throw a flurry of elbows into the side of his head. Hated drops back down afterwards, Dar shaking his head before reaching down to lift him up once more, throwing another elbow flurry and letting Hated fall back down to the mat. Mockingly, Dar does this twice more, throwing a flurry and letting Hated fall back down, the shogun dazed and in incredible pain now from all the strikes to his head. Finally, Dar pulls Hated up once again, but this time, bends him over, wrapping his arms around his waist. The crowd immediately gets on edge, knowing that this is the set-up for the X-Driller, but Hated manages to stay on the mat, widening his base and preventing himself from getting lifted up. Instead, Dar just pushes him back into the corner, grabbing his head and leaning back to knock him silly once again with a BURNING ELBOW SMASH! Hated drops down to a seated position in the corner, leaning back against the turnbuckles as Dar grabs the ropes and lays into him with stomps to his face and chest, showing no mercy to the shogun. Finally, Dar reaches down to drag him out of the corner, turning him to face away and twisting his arm up into a Hammerlock, grabbing his head with his other arm and leaning him back into a Dragon Sleeper. The crowd knows what classic Darson Grays submission this sets up, booing loudly and yelling for Hated to get out of it, and luckily, Hated manages to do so, wrenching out of the Hammerlock and twisting around to grab Dar by the waist, crying out as he lifts the big Samoan up for a Released Northern Lights Suplex! Dar doesn't go flying very far, and quickly starts to roll back up to his feet, but Hated has got himself out of danger for the moment. Unfortunately, he's too dazed to stay standing straight, leaning back against the ropes and trying to push himself up as Dar comes off the opposite set, bashing him with a CHARGING ELBOW! Hated stumbles forward off the ropes, but won't fall down. This doesn't seem to worry Dar, though, who instead just spins around for a ROARING BACK ELBOOOOO-NOOO!!! Hated manages to get his forearms up and block the powerful strike, though he gets knocked back a step from the force anyway, quickly knocking Dar down with a punch while he's stunned.

Dar quickly gets back up to his feet, only to be met with another hard punch from Hated, who still seems to be having trouble staying on his feet, just throwing these punches to try and keep Dar off of him. The Samoan won't back down so easily, though, getting up once again and pulling Hated forward into a flurry of elbow strikes, then bends him down and holds his head in place for three FIERCE KNEES...BUT HATED STRAIGHTENS BACK UP!!! The crowd lets out a huge cheer as Hated seems to ignore the strikes, staring Dar down and suddenly throwing a hard punch into his face. Dar backs up a step, then responds with a hard elbow, but Hated doesn't fall down, the two beginning to trade disgustingly stiff strikes - PUNCH! ELBOW! PUNCH! ELBOW! That last one sends Hated reeling back into the ropes, but he quickly comes back off them with a LARIAT! Dar stumbles back into the ropes behind him...and falls down, shaking his head and trying to quickly get back up. Hated seems to be nearly out on his feet after this, though, slowly shambling over to his corner and tagging out to Ice. Ice quickly enters the ring, now having had some time to rest his leg up, coming over to the rising Dar and attacking him with a kick to the chest from his good leg. Dar immediately responds with an elbow, and the two begin to trade strikes, neither one backing down. Finally, Dar throws a kick into the side of Ice's leg, causing him to cringe and buckle for a second or two, but Ice then throws out another kick with his good leg, stunning Dar and then shooting a kick of his own into Dar's leg, the more-practiced kick from the younger wrestler enough to send Dar down to one knee. Seeing his chance here, Ice takes a step back, then shoots a kick straight into the side of Dar's head, sending him sprawling over onto the mat. Ice reaches down to rub the side of his leg, obviously still in pain there, but quickly picks Dar back up, suddenly setting him up in a Front Facelock. Ice seems to be trying to pull out another one of those miracle suplexes, but Dar won't have any of it, blocking each one and finally starting to lift Ice up for his own suplex. Ice quickly charges forward, though, pushing Dar into the ropes and forcing a break.

Ice doesn't give a clean break, however, throwing another kick into Dar's chest, then going to whip him across the ring. Dar stops the whip at the full extension, though, pulling Ice straight forward into his elbow and sending him down to the mat. The Samoan decided to take a break after this one, turning and tagging out to Kal. Kal quickly walks over to drag Ice up to his feet, knocking him back against the ropes with a EuroCut. He then whips him across the ring, pushing back against the ropes and running forward, spinning as he does so and timing it perfectly to meet Ice in the middle of the ring with a SHORYUEUROCUT!!! Ice falls down hard, Kal landing on top of him for the pin. "1...2...THR-NOOO!!!" Ice gets a shoulder up, luckily having not been knocked unconscious by that move. Kal thinks he can fix that, though, slowly pulling Ice back up to his feet and EuroCutting him back into the corner. Ice looks dazed from that, rolling his head around to try and get his wits back together, but Kal grabs his arm, going to whip him across into the opposite corner. Ice manages to grab the top rope, however, stalling that attempt, causing Kal to bash him with another EuroCut before trying again. Ice still holds on, though, clutching the top rope as hard as he can. Kal shoves him back into the corner, this time smashing his jaw with an AXEHANDLE EUROCUT, then goes to whip him across the ring. Ice still has enough sense about him to reverse it, though, sending Kal into the corner instead, charging forward right into Kal's boot. Ice stumbles back, holding his face, but quickly turns around and tries again, grabbing Kal's leg this time as he brings it up and shoving it down before throwing a Clothesline into Kal. Both men are dazed after that one, but Ice quickly recovers, throwing more of those kicks into Kal's chest. However, Kal takes a step out of the corner, staring Ice down, attempting to ignore the strikes. Ice quickly shoves him back into the corner, aiming his kicks up at Kal's face this time. But Kal still ignores them, shoving Ice away and down onto the mat. The Silver Flame quickly rolls up to his feet as Kal steps forward, throwing another kick into Kal, but the highlight shoves him back down, nailing him with a Running EuroCut as he gets back up to his feet again, this time making him stay down.

Kal pulls Ice back up to his feet, hooking both his arms and flipping him up onto his shoulder for the BUTTERFLY EFFE-NO! Ice slides down to land behind Kal, running to the ropes and coming back as he turns around to hit him with a Flying Shoulderblock, knocking him down to the mat. As Kal gets back up to his feet, Ice catches him again, pulling him down hard onto the mat with a DDT! Ice watches as Kal slowly picks himself up this time, quickly running towards the ropes and coming back to throw himself into the ICEBERG SPEAR!!! Ice throws himself into Kal's chest, bringing him down hard onto the mat, the crowd erupting into cheers for the big move out of Ice. Ice doesn't go for a pin right afterwards, though, instead slowly getting up to his feet and pointing over towards the corner, the crowd erupting in cheers as he heads over to climb to the outside. Scaling the turnbuckles as quickly as he can with his bad knee, Ice looks down at Kal, Hated quickly entering the ring to block Dar from interfering. Steadying himself on the top rope, Ice then throws himself forward, flipping into a 450 SPLASH!!! But Ice can't follow through with the pin, the shock of the landing spreading through his knee and causing him to cry out in pain, rolling over to the side and clutching his leg in agony. Dar smirks at this, exiting the ring and allowing Hated to do the same, the shogun calling for a tag from his partner, knowing that he has a chance to take down Kal now. Ice slowly rolls over to his corner, still clutching his knee, but reaches out with one hand to tag out to Hated as Kal slowly starts to get up. Hated quickly scales to the top rope, waiting for Kal to turn around and face him, then dives forward, grabbing his head and pulling him down into the KAKFA'S CASTLE!!! The flipping neckbreaker slams Kal down onto the mat, but Hated doesn't go for the pin just yet, instead hauling Kal back up to his feet, the highlight dazed and unable to really fight back at this point. Hated quickly pushes him into the ropes, whipping him across the ring and bouncing off the nearer set to connect with a LARIAT!!! The Clothesline connects fully, sending Kal slamming down onto the mat as Hated drops over him for a pin. "1...2...THR-NOOO!!!" Kal gets a shoulder up again.

Hated pulls Kal back up to his feet, this time throwing an arm across him to once again lift a big man up for the AIR SUPP-NO! Kal charges forward, slamming Hated back into the corner. The shogun fights back, though, doubling Kal over and clubbing his forearm and fist down into his back. Finally, Hated switches places to shove Kal back into the corner, going to whip him into the opposite one, but Kal reverses it and sends Hated to the turnbuckles instead. Hated has enough time to jump up onto the middle rope, though, flinging himself backwards and nailing Kal right in the face with a Flying Back Elbow! Kal rolls back with the hit, getting back up to his feet and throwing a reflexive EuroCut at Hated, who merely grabs his arm, pulling him right down into a CRIPPLER CROSSFACE!!! The crowd immediately gets up on their feet, cheering wildly and calling for Kal to tap, Hated rearing back on the hold and wrenching Kal's neck and shoulder muscles. Dar quickly gets in the ring to stop this, but Ice intercepts him, slipping under the elbow aimed at his face and pulling Dar right back into a Sleeper Hold! Dar flails outward, Ice having a hard time keeping the huge Samoan in the hold, but quickly pulls himself back into the corner, able to get more leverage there, trying to keep Dar off his feet so he has a harder time breaking out. All the while, Hated rears back on his Crossface, Kal flailing his free arm towards the rope. Finally, Dar manages to turn around in the hold and throw his elbow back into Ice's stomach, finally loosening it enough for him to just throw the smaller wrestler over him and onto the mat. Quickly, Dar runs over to Hated, stomping on the back of his head and neck until he breaks the hold, getting Kal out of danger to the crowd's boos. Ice quickly comes up from behind Dar, though, kicking the back of his knee out from under him and throwing another into the side of his head, quickly pulling him back into a Sleeper Hold, this time dropping back to wrap his legs around Dar's waist, locking in a Body Scissors! Dar knows he can't use a rope break to get out of this when he's not the legal man, and quickly begins to roll both himself and Ice over towards the ropes anyway, sending them both tumbling to the outside.

Meanwhile, Hated clears his head enough to see Kal starting to get up, quickly grabbing his arm and pulling him right back down into another CRIPPLER CROSSFACE!!! The crowd is even more excited this time, knowing Dar is preoccupied on the outside with Ice, leaving Kal to try and get out of the hold himself. Kal slowly inches his way over towards the ropes, reaching out as far as he can with his free arm. On the outside, Ice stuns Dar with a kick long enough to whip him into the steel barrier, running forward only to be met with a CHARGING ELBOOOWWWW!!! Dar turns toward the ring, seeing Kal throwing his hand down...to grab the bottom rope, forcing a break to the crowd's displeasure. Hated quickly pulls Kal back to the middle of the ring, lifting him up on his feet and pulling him all the way up for the AIR SUPPLY!!! Kal slams down hard into the mat with the STO, but Hated doesn't stop, instead pointing towards the corner as the crowd bursts into cheers, Hated running to the ropes and jumping up onto the second, then the top, flipping back into the MOOOOOOONSHIIIII-NOOOOO!!! Dar catches Hated on the top rope, crotching him and quickly climbing up to keep a hold on the shogun, bashing his elbow into the side of his head. Kal slowly gets up to his feet, seeing Hated caught on the ropes and quickly moving over to climb up onto the second one himself, allowing Dar to move back as he hooks his head under Hated's arm, falling back in a SUPER BACK SUPLEX!!! Hated lands hard on his shoulders and upper back, Kal slowly turning over to cover him for a pin. "1...2...THR-NOOO!!!" Hated gets a shoulder up to the crowd's relief. Kal decides to take a breather, his neck throbbing from those Crossface holds, walking over to tag out to Dar. But Kal doesn't exit the ring, instead grabbing Hated and pulling him over to the corner, shoving him into the turnbuckles to stun him before grabbing his arm, watching as Dar heads to the opposite corner. Once positioned correctly, Kal whips Hated towards Dar, the Samoan running forward to blow his head off with a SAMOAN LARIATOOOOOOOOOO!!! Kal stays in the ring still, Dar hauling Hated back up to his feet, whipping him into the waiting Kal, who catches him with a knee to the gut, hooking his arms and flipping him up for the BUTTERFLY EFFE-NOOO!!! Hated slips down on the other side, grabbing Kal's head along the way and jumping up for the HORRIFIC MADNESS!!! Kal rolls out of the ring, clutching his neck in pain, but Hated turns around right into a CHARGING ELBOOOOWWW!!!

Dar drags Hated out to the middle of the ring, the shogun getting close to being dead weight at this point, breathing heavily and looking dazed. Dar hauls him up to his feet, though, turning him away and tucking his head under his arm to pull Hated back into a DANGEROUS BACKDROPPAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Hated lands directly on his head, Dar taking a few deep breaths before turning to roll him over onto his back and hook his leg for the pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOO!!!" Ice manages to get in and break it up at the last second. Kal is quickly inside to get Ice out of the way, though, able to catch the younger wrestler off-guard with a few hard EuroCuts, finally hooking his arms and flipping him up onto his shoulder, planting Ice down on the mat with a destructive BUTTERFLY EFFECT!!! Meanwhile, Dar does just about the same thing, bringing Hated back up to double him over and hook his arms, flipping him up to LAND HIM ON HIS NECK WITH A FOLDOVER TIGERBOMB!!! "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOOOO!!!" Hated somehow manages to pull enough out of his reserves to kick out, the crowd having thought that was it, as well as Dar. Dar pulls Hated up again, looking angry now, and ready to finish this. Wrapping his arms around Hated, Dar starts to flip him up for the X-Driller, but Hated falls down to one knee, possibly out of tiredness or an attempt to block the move, more likely both. Dar won't have any of that, though, stepping back to grab Hated's head and bash him with a few FIERCE KNEES! Dar then pulls Hated back into position, flipping him up onto one shoulder and pulling him down across his body for the X-DRILLAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Hated lands on his head, as he should, from this move, a visible shockwave moving through his body as he crumples down to the mat, Dar rolling him over onto his back. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOOOO!!! ICE BREAKS IT UP!" The Samoan hadn't even noticed Ice, having thought that the Butterfly Effect from Kal would've taken him out, but the Silver Flame still has a huge will to win, refusing to let his partner get pinned. Kal quickly gets back in to remove the nuisance, stomping down on Ice and forcing him to the outside, moving through the ropes to follow him out.

Dar doesn't follow up right away, however, laying on the mat and breathing heavily, shaking his head, obviously having thought the match was over with that finisher. On the outside, Kal pulls Ice up to his feet, hitting him with a EuroCut before whipping him into the steel barrier. At the last second, Ice manages to get his foot up to block himself, quickly turning around and running forward to connect with an ICEBERG SPEAR ON THE OUTSIDE!!! Kal gets blown down by the charging Ice, who quickly pushes himself up to his feet, seeing Dar now hauling Hated up for one last try at an X-Driller. Just as Dar is about to flip him up, Ice slides into the ring, pushing himself up to his feet and nailing Dar with the ARCTIC FLASH! Dar collapses backwards from the Superkick, but Ice has done quite a bit of damage to himself, having thrown the kick with his bad leg on instinct and now leaving the limb filled with pain. Ice slowly rolls back over to his corner, leaving Hated on his own now, but having bought him some time. Dar slowly brings himself back up to his feet, reaching over to grab a handful of Hated's hair and haul him up as well, once again turning the shogun away to tuck his head under his arm, ready to finish this with another DANGEROUS BACKDROPPAAA-NOOOO!!! HATED REVERSES IT INTO A CROSSBODY! COVER!!! "ONE...TWO...THR-NOO!!!" Dar gets over the shock just in time to kick out, almost having lost the match on that flash pin. Finally, Dar stands up once again, this time looking down at Hated and drawing his thumb across his throat. Pulling him up to his feet, Dar waits for Hated to get enough balance to stand up, then suddenly spins around into the ROARING BACK ELBOOOOOWWWW!!! Hated drops down to his knees, about to slump backwards from there, but Dar grabs him by his hair, keeping him up and moving around behind him to lift Hated up once again, this time standing back-to-back and hooking both his arms. The crowd lets out refusing cries, not wanting to see this happen, but there's nothing they can do as Dar turns around to tuck his head under Hated's legs and lift him up into the Reverse Gory Special, letting Hated hang there for a few seconds in finality before dropping down into the LOOOOOOVE LIIIIIIIES BLEEEEEEDIIIIII-NOOOOOO!!!!! ICE HITS HIM WITH THE DIAMOND STOOOORRRMMM!!!

Dar loses his grip of Hated as he gets spun around with the move, sending the shogun flying off to land on his stomach a few feet away, the Samoan being driven down into the mat hard by Ice. The Silver Flame rolls off of him, knowing that he just barely saved the match, but Kal quickly comes into the ring in bloody attack mode, pulling Ice up to his feet and bashing him over and over with EuroCuts, possibly knocking a few teeth loose from the force behind them. Finally, Kal whips Ice into the opposite set of ropes, Mayfair looking like he wants to break this up, but he's not able to do anything as Kal lifts Ice up into a Flapjack, blowing him out of the air with the TOM CRUUUUUUUUUISSSSSSE!!!!! Ice flops down onto the canvas, quite possibly unconscious after that. At this point, Dar finally starts to get back up to his feet, looking over to see Hated and Ice down. Settling on the Silver Flame, Dar looks over towards Kal and calls something over to him, which makes the highlight grin widely. The two of them walk over to gather Ice up, Dar pulling him up to face away, and tucking his head under his arm. The crowd shakes their heads, wishing that Hated would get up and help his partner, but the shogun seems to be barely able to move his hand at all at this point, much less get up and take down Dar and Kal. As Dar finishes setting Ice up, Kal runs back to the ropes, coming back and spinning in the process, aiming for the Silver Flame's exposed jaw and connecting perfectly as Dar falls back, the two of them hitting A SHORYUEUROCUT BACKDROPPAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! The crowd can't help but let out a HUGE "OHHHH" at that, Ice slowly falling down to the mat. Several fans start up a "HOLY s**t" chant as Kal walks back over to begin nudging Ice out of the ring with his boot, the Silver Flame completely motionless at this point. As Ice falls to the outside, Hated finally starts to make it up to his feet. Dar meets him halfway, pulling him up by his hair again and looking down into Hated's eyes before slapping him hard across the face, the shogun falling down to his knees.

But Hated won't stay down, slowly forcing himself back up to a vertical base, suddenly spitting into Dar's face, stunning the Samoan long enough for Hated to grab his head, pulling him into the FEATURE PRESENTATION HEADBUTTS!!! The crowd bursts into cheers, the idea of a comeback at this point filling them with hope, but as Hated lets go, Dar slowly shakes his head. Grabbing Hated by the arms, he spins him around, crossing his arms around his neck and locking him in a Japanese Stranglehold. Hated quickly tries to bend down and pull away, but at this point, the shogun just doesn't have any strength left as Dar flexes back to pull him down in the HOSTILEPLEX!!! Again, Hated gets dropped on his head, Dar just bridging up this time to hold on for the pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOO!!!" Hated kicks out, the crowd, Dar, and Kal all shocked at the fact that he still has enough left in him to get out of this. The two men slowly get back up to their feet, Hated having to use the ropes to do so, looking over at Dar with a fierce determination in his eyes. Hated throws himself forward into a punch, landing it squarely on Dar's jaw, but the shogun's body just doesn't have the strength anymore. Hated throws another punch, but all it does is make Dar take a step back. Hated collapses down on his knees, panting now, but trying to force himself up again to keep attacking. But Dar just drops down in front of him, grabbing his head and beginning the onslaught of KNEEEEEEEEE STRIIIIIIIIKES!!!!!! Throwing his knee directly into Hated's forehead over and over again, the Samoan goes well over the four strikes that typically go with the combo, finally breaking it off around nine or so. Sliding Hated over onto his back, Dar moves over him for a cover, but the crowd suddenly gets back up as ICE SLIDES INTO THE RING!!! "ONE...TWO..." KAL GRABS ICE FROM BEHIND AND HOLDS ON! "...THREEEEEEE!!!!"

There's noticeable boos throughout the arena as the match ends, but the crowd is nearly as drained as the wrestlers after all of this. Kal shoves Ice down to the mat after seeing that they got the three count for sure, Ice quickly getting back up to his feet, looking ready to take down the Apostles. But the two are already starting to exit the ring, Dar glancing back at Hated, who is staring blankly up at the ceiling, the rise and fall of his chest the only motion noticeable. Ice suddenly drops down to his knees, holding the back of his neck and cringing, the adrenaline finally getting out of his system, making the pain in his neck much more noticeable.

Roselyn: "Here are your winners...THE APOSTLES OF AMARANTHINE!!!"

Dar and Kal begin to make their way back down the aisle without a second look back towards the ring, Ice calling for some officials from ringside to help Hated out. The crowd grows silent fairly quickly, the GWA wrestlers' loss creating a solemn mood throughout the gym, the intensity of all four men leaving the crowd somber and quiet. Though Hated's face is unreadable, Ice's expression states the feelings of the crowd clearly: Can the GWA really win the war against the Apostles?...

Roselyn Peters: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 60 minute time limit and is for the GWA Grand Championship!"

The beginning of Doperide begins as the arena goes dark and two spotlights swirl around the entrance ramp. This continues until the first lyrics of the song are heard and the guitars kick in. The spotlights then go directly to the top of the entrance ramp and Dante walks out from the back to a response of jeers and a few cheers. Dante is quick to respond to the crowd as he raises his arms in the air and tilts his head back with a cocky smile on his face. This prompts the spotlights to go away but the main lights to turn back on. Dante holds this pose till the lyrics of the song kick in.



Dante walks towards the ring as the lyrics are sung by Joesy Scott. He doesn’t bother to accept any high fives from anyone, or even care to look at the people he is passing, but rather, Dante focuses his attention on the path before him. Dante climbs up the steel steps, then waits for the chorus before entering the ring.



Dante goes to the closest corner of the ring and climbs up to the second rope. He then points out to the crowd, then with two fingers, he points towards his eyes, then with his thumb, he points to himself, telling everyone to keep all eyes on him. Dante then raises his arms like he did on the entrance ramp for the fans to see again. After doing this, Dante goes to the next corner to do the same thing as the song goes into its next verse.



Dante then hops off of the second rope and hands his coat and sunglasses to someone outside of the ring for safe keeping. He then goes back to the first corner he went to and climbs the second rope, this time when he tells the crowd to have all eyes on him, he looks to be singing along the chorus with Josey Scott.



Dante then jumps off of the second rope and waits in the corner as Doperide fades into the back round. Dante is quick to give a glance in the crowd to see if any women are in the crowd, telling them especially to keep their eyes on him as he waits for his opponent.

I've seen you in the mirror when the story began
I fell in love with you, I love your mortal sin
Your brains are locked away but I love your company
I only ever leave you when you got no money
I got no emotion for anybody else
You better understand I'm in love with myself,
Myself, In love with myself

No feelings
No feelings
No feelings
For anybody else

|With the sounds of The Sex Pistols' "No Feelings" making their way around the arena the majority of fans in attendance begin jeering loudly. This can signal the entrance of only one man, the GWA Grand Champion Steve "Savior" Twist. As the song nears the first chorus the outstandingly conceited Steve makes his way out from the back onto the top of the meager entrance ramp, Saria at his side.|

Hello and goodbye in a run around sue
You follow me around like a pretty pot of glue
I kick you in the head, you got nothing to say
Get out of the way, I gotta get away
You never realize I take the piss out of you
You come up and see me and I'll beat you black and blue
One day I'll send you away

No feelings
No feelings
No feelings
For anybody else
Except for myself, in love with myself, my beautiful self

|Taunts, jeers, boos, and a few minor pieces of snack food continue to fly Steve's way as he looks around at the crowd, a rose resting gently in his mouth. Twist keeps this held between his teeth as he strides down the entrance ramp, looking far more dignified than the trash who paid their hard earned salary to see him.|

There ain't no moonlight, after midnight
I see you stupid people out looking for delight
Well I'm so happy I'm feeling so fine
I'm watching all the rubbish, wasting my time
I look around your house, you got nothing to steal
I kick you in the head when you get down to kneel
And pray, you pray to your god

|At the bottom of the entrance ramp Steve pauses prior to signaling for Saria to stand in front of him. She does and with the grace of a deity Steve places his lips to hers in order to change possession of the rose. Now that the flower is safely stored with the one who understands him the most Twist can make his way up the ring steps and into the ring, garnering more jeers from the crowd. There are of course the few cheers from ladies in the audience, but Steve completely ignores them as he steps between the ropes and into the ring.|

No feelings
No feelings
No feelings
For anybody else
No feelings
No feelings
No feelings
For anybody else
God has gone away
Be back another day
See his picture hanging on your wall

|As "No Feelings" fades out Steve looks down at the GWA Grand Championship that is placed around his waist. Even if it is a piece of trash it gives Steve the power to do what he pleases. This brings some slight laughter to the champion who stares down Dante while Roselyn goes to make the ring announcements.|

"Introducing first the challenger, from Toronto, Ontario, weighing in at 265 pounds and standing 6 feet 5 inches tall, he is a former 3-time BTWF World Heavyweight Champion, 'The Cocky Canadian' DANTE CABRELL!"

|Jeers fill the air in Gambino for this announcement, not that Dante expected any less. Not even bothering to acknowledge these, Cabrell keeps his back placed in his corner as Roselyn goes to announce his opponent in order to get this match underway.|

"And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Saria Nalick, from Muskegon, Michigan, weighing in at 242 pounds and standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, he is the GWA Grand Champion, 'The Aphotic Rose', STEVE 'SAVIOR' TWIST!"

|Same boos, same people, same old same old for Twist as he removes the GWA Grand Championship from his waist and gives it to the appointed referee for this match, Peter London. As the belt is flashed to the crowd on all sides of the dank little gymnasium both wrestlers get ready for the contest ahead. While the fans here may have bought a ticket to jeer, they'll be buying the DVD to smark about it on their internet message boards for this match alone.|

The bell rings...

Not long after the sound of the bell has died down a few Cabrell loyalists start up a "Dante" chant despite the majority of the crowd still jeering. A few of Steve's fans reply to this with a "Twist" chant as the two wrestlers circle around the ring. More people seem to be joining in on the chants as the two go to lock-up, but jeers reign once more as Twist suddenly falls to the canvas and rolls out of the ring. "I demand a drug test damn it! That guy is on 'roids!" Steve shouts while grabbing one of the ringside officials by the collar of their shirt. "What's the matter Steve, don't think your flower power can handle the Cocky Canadian?" Dante asks as Twist throws the official to the ground. "More like I don't want you to use your shriveled testicles as an excuse when I beat you." Replies Steve as he hops back up on the ring apron. Cabrell doesn't rush Steve as he gets in the ring, knowing better than to let some superficial insults get to him. The two begin right where they left off, circling around the ring once more with the fans hoping that this match will get underway. This time when the two go for a lock-up it's Dante pulling out as he turns away from Twist, making the champ stumble forward a bit as Cabrell goes over to stand in the near corner. Turning back around Cabrell sees Twist somersault through his stumble, doing a pose afterwards to try and save face. Dante claps a bit for this while asking Steve if Darson makes him do these kind of tricks for nookie. "Pfft, Darson has a whole roster full of bitches like you for that." Steve answers as the crowd seems split between people enjoying this and people wanting more "this is awesome." Chants of "boring" start up from these moronic GWAdroids who just want a bunch of flippy floppy garbage wrasslin'. "Hey c'mon now, Steve is the only person who is boring around here. No need to drag me into it." Dante says with a smirk on his face, leaving Twist to make his way out of the ring again. "I don't need this. It only takes one for a wankfest." The GWA Grand Champion says as he goes to take his leave. After reaching the entrance ramp and realizing there are no count outs in the GWA, Twist turns back towards the ring. "Forget something?" Asks Cabrell as Twist goes through the ropes to get back in the squared circle. "Yeah, this." Steve says prior to spitting in Dante's face!

Wiping the spit from his face, Dante stares down Steve who looks unsure as to if he should leave the ring again or go toe to toe with Dante. Cabrell doesn't give Twist much say in the matter as he kicks the champion in the gut and takes him down to the ground with a Snapmare prior to hitting a stiff kick to Steve's back. Taking this like a man Steve gets up to his feet, only to pull referee Peter London into the line of fire when Dante goes to do it again. Not wanting to get DQed after going through so much to get a title shot, Cabrell draws back his kicking foot. This allows Twist to shove London away and smash into Dante with a shoulder block that knocks the off balance challenge to the mat. "Score one for 'roid free wrestlers everywhere!" Shouts Steve as Dante gets back to his feet. Running towards the far set of ropes, Twist comes off of them to hit another shoulder block. Having second thoughts about it at the last second Twist falls to the canvas to stop himself prior to rolling out of the ring. "Timeout referee, I need a water break." The ever annoying GWA Grand Champion tells London as he grabs the nearest water bottle while talking strategy with Saria. "Uh huh, uh huh, so if I-" Twist is suddenly cut off as Dante's feet nail him directly in the face due to a Baseball Slide from the challenger. Not only does this send Steve into the ring barricade for a nasty bump, it gets Dante some cheers which he turns down by flipping the bird to the crowd. It's clear that neither man wants any support from these fans and most seem fine with that as they continue booing for the sake of booing. Once he's up to his feet Steve goes right back to sipping water and talking with Saria, obviously not learning the lesson Dante was teaching. London tries to get Steve back into the ring to get this match going again, but Twist won't until a condition is met. "You should penalize him one timeout for interrupting my timeout." Twist tells London as the referee just shakes his head. Bending down to talk to Roselyn, London has her announce to the crowd that Dante Cabrell is penalized one timeout as people wonder how you can take away a timeout that doesn't even exist. Looking satisfied, "The Aphotic Rose" jumps back up onto the ring apron to make his way into the ring once more.

This time Dante doesn't give Steve a chance to get back out as he slams the champion in the gut with a knee. Another knee strikes Steve's abdomen as Dante grabs onto his wrist and whips him across the ring. Colliding back first with the opposite set of ropes, Twist manages to stop himself rather than going back towards Cabrell who has set himself up in the center of the ring. Trying to exit the ring simply gets Twist a clubbing forearm to the back of the head as Dante pulls him back towards the center of the ring by his arm. Dropping down to his knees the champion tells London that Cabrell pulled his hair on that re-entry, but London will have none of it. London even goes so far as to turn his back to Steve, something that proves to be a bad idea as Twist unleashes a low blow on Dante before hitting a Snap DDT to make it look like nothing happened. When London turns around he finds Steve covering Dante and goes to count, 1...2...Dante kicks out. Shoving Cabrell onto his belly after this kick out allows Twist to place the challenger into a Camel Clutch as the crowd continues in their tirade of jeers. Clearly Dante hasn't recovered from that low blow yet as Steve can, and does, take one arm off the Camel Clutch in order to pose. That kind of arrogance may be what Cabrell needed to see out of his opponent however, as soon afterwards he is able to grab the near bottom rope. 1...2...3...4...Steve lets go of the hold and stands to his feet where he wipes his boots off on the back of Dante's head. After allowing his challenger to get back to his feet, Twist smacks Dante across the chest with a single chop before whipping him across the ring. Keeping Twist's hand held, Cabrell reverses the whip as he stations himself in the center of the ring. Coming off the ropes, Twist tries to score with the shoulder block like he did earlier, but Dante barely budges from it. Wiping his shoulder off, Dante tells Steve to try again which the champion does unreluctantly. Steve gets an unexpected surprise this time however, as Cabrell scoops him up off his feet and slams him to the canvas with an STO! Placing one foot on Twist, Dante tells London to count, 1...2...Steve kicks out.

Rolling away from Dante after this doesn't get Steve too far, "The Cocky Canadian" intently following him so as to not give up his current advantage. Just when it looks like Steve will be able to roll out of the ring a boot hits his cheek as Dante then grabs onto the top rope and stands on Twist's face. Obviously this maneuver isn't legal and London gets right to scolding Cabrell for it with a DQ count. 1...2...3...4...Dante lets go of the top rope and slides off of Steve's face to the canvas just before the count of five. "Do you want to see it again?" Dante asks the crowd who cheers in response. "Too bad." Cabrell follows up with as he spits at the fans and drags Steve back to the center of the ring by his hair. Sticking a knee into the spine of Steve, Dante grabs his near leg prior to placing the champion in a Single Leg Boston Crab. Fighting out of this seems to be the least of Steve's concerns as he wipes his face off in the hold. Noticing Twist's mockery of him causes Cabrell to place more pressure on the hold. It also snaps Twist to attention as he begins to snail his way to the ropes. At last Steve manages to drape his right arm across the bottom rope as London goes to get Dante to break the hold. 1...2...3...4...Cabrell let's go of Steve's leg momentarily prior to locking the Single Leg Boston Crab right back in. 1...2...3...4...Once more Dante lets go prior to the count of five, but he doesn't go back into the hold this time. Instead he goes to bring Twist back to the center of the ring as Saria quickly gives Steve a sip of water before Dante forces the champ to let go of the ropes. Turning Steve over onto his back, Cabrell grabs both of Steve's legs before bending down to turn him over. This gives Twist his chance to spit the water into Dante's face, but the challenger has prepared himself for this and blocks it with a hand which he swiftly frees. Stomping down on Twist's midsection before grabbing his leg again, Cabrell mocks Steve as he bends down to turn him over for real this time. A thumb to the eye from Steve catches the challenger off guard however, and allows Steve to free his legs before shoving Cabrell away from him and to the canvas. Getting up to his feet, Twist blows snot on Dante and kicks him in the ribs before playing to the crowd who simply boos the antics of the champion.

"One, two, three, four who are we not rooting for?" Saria starts out on the floor before having Twist finish with "Dante!" in the ring while some members in the crowd say "both of them." This gets a slight laugh from Steve who waits until Cabrell gets back to his feet prior to chopping him back to the ground. While the pace of this match may not be high both men really seem to be laying into each other with every move and these chops are no different. As Dante recovers on the ground Steve circles around to his side and grabs his right arm to out stretch it and stand on his palm. Immediately Dante tries to fight out of this predicament, but Twist uses his free right leg to kick Cabrell away as London wonders about the legality of such a move. After kicking Dante away a couple more times, Twist gets bored with this as he removes his foot from Dante's arm and drops down to his knees to places the challenger into a Key Lock. Due to Cabrell being the bigger man it takes more work for Twist to really synch this hold in as Dante continually fights for control of his arm. Just when Steve is able to really get a good position on the lock Dante grabs the near bottom rope to force a break. 1...2...3...4...So far no one has left the DQ count at anything less than four and Steve continues this trend as he breaks the hold and moves towards the middle of the ring. While much of the audience seems to be getting restless, the older generation in attendance look to be enjoying this contest quite a bit although they probably wouldn't admit to it. Up on his feet Dante makes his way to where Steve is waiting for him as they finally go into a collar and elbow tie-up for the first time in this match. The fans seem to approve of this, but it doesn't last long as Twist wraps his right leg behind Dante's right leg and breaks the hold to swiftly position Cabrell's right arm over his shoulder and take him back down to the mat in another Key Lock. Large amounts of jeering come for this, not because the fans can't appreciate this type of wrestling, but because they would rather see these two kicking the s**t out of each other. Although at first it looked like Steve had total control of this Key Lock when the two went to the canvas, Dante manages to free his arm shortly after and turn Twist over onto his back.

Mounting Steve, Dante hits several closed fists to the head of the champion as London attempts to get him to stop. "You're going to DQ me for closed fists? Yeah, right..." Dante says while smirking at London and continuing his assault on Twist who wriggles his way to the ropes. 1...2...Cabrell actually gives up his position on Steve rather quickly this time, not that it would do much damage anyway. Taking Steve by the hair Dante lifts him up to his feet and into a front facelock as he backs away from the ropes. Lifting "The Aphotic Rose" into the air, the cocky one keeps Twist held above his head as the crowd boos along. Roughly twenty seconds later, Cabrell lets Steve plummet to the canvas to complete the Canadian Vertical Suplex. After giving himself a round of applause which the crowd doesn't like one bit, Dante covers the champ, 1...2...Steve kicks out. "Omigawd kick out!" Someone in the crowd screams as Dante ignores him while getting back to a vertical base. Allowing Steve to get up on his own, Cabrell measures the champion as he gets to one knee before going to hit the Running Fame-asser! At the last second Steve moves out of the way of this to give "The Cocky Canadian" nothing but canvas. Knowing the stun from a bruised bottom won't last long Twist sprints to the ropes that are in front of Dante in order to connect with the BAKATARE SLIDING KICK!! Steve displays his own cockiness after this move connects by getting back up to his feet and dropping to one knee in order to place his index finger on Cabrell's chest. "Well what are you waiting for? Count!" Twist tells London who obliges, 1...2...Dante kicks out. "Damn, I thought one finger would work for sure. No matter, two fingers this time." Steve says as he adds his middle finger to the equation for another cover, 1...2...Dante kicks out. Disheartened by this turn of events Twist goes to sit in the near corner where Saria wipes his sweat off with a towel and gives him some more water to drink. Shortly after this Dante gets to his feet where he turns his back on Steve to tell London something. This being what Steve was waiting for the GWA Grand Champion leaps up out of his corner and rushes Cabrell, only to get a back elbow to the face from the challenger who knew Twist would do this.

Rolling back through to his feet after getting his face smashed in, Twist locks up with Dante who has turned to face him. Unlike earlier neither wrestler seems to want to break free of this lock-up as they attempt to shove each other across the ring. Dante's weight and height advantage give him enough leverage to place Twist back first on the ropes as London tries to get them to break the lock. London stops in his requests to do so as Steve shoves Dante back towards the middle of the ring with all that he has, getting a few light, uncaring claps from the crowd. Before too long Cabrell manages to shove Steve back onto the ropes once more, showing that there's just too much of a difference between them for Twist to overcome. "The Aphotic Rose" doesn't see this as the case when he shoves Cabrell back to the middle of the ring again, surprising Dante as well as the crowd. Even more surprising is that Dante is the first stepping back this time as Steve continues to struggle forward. Just as it looks like Dante will hit the ropes Twist's strength seems to give out as Cabrell shoves him all the way back across the ring with ease. Suddenly, when Steve looks like he will hit the ropes, the champion switches positions with Dante to shove "The Cocky Canadian" into them. Not only does he do this, but Steve also shoves Dante's head under the top rope as if he wants to bring this lock-up to the floor. Cabrell on the other hand has no intentions of doing this and tries to get back out of the ropes as London makes a DQ count. 1...2...3...4...At the last second Steve breaks the hold, only to grab onto Dante's arms and pull him so he slams into the top rope throat first! Dante slumps down to his bottom along the ropes while holding his throat as Twist laughs in the face of the challenger. Dodging out of the way of an oddly placed blow from Cabrell, Twist then grabs Dante's legs and drags him into the center of the ring. Keeping one leg held, Steve plays to the jeering crowd who has a feeling as to what's going to happen next. Steve stepping over Dante's leg confirms these suspicions as the champion goes for an old favorite, the Figure Four Leglock! Like always these two have conflicting views on whether this is will happen or not and Dante gets his way this time around by kicking the champ off of him before Steve can lock the hold in.

Getting up to his feet leaves Dante open for Steve to strike him. Twist doesn't take this opportunity though, not looking rushed at all despite almost a quarter of this match's time limit being gone. It's almost as if Steve is just waiting for something as he and Dante go into another lock-up in the center of the ring. Cabrell notices this as well as he almost seems to be getting sick of how blatant Twist's apathy towards this match is. Not making the most of everything will be Steve's downfall which Cabrell begins to show him with a right hand to the face to break this lock-up prior to spinning Steve around and nailing him with a High Angle Back Drop! Falling on his head definitely wakes Twist up some as he covers up and rolls away when Dante sits up. Up on his feet Cabrell stomps down on Twist as he tries to break him open to get some momentum going in his favor. Some stiff kicks to Steve's abdomen do the job Dante needed done as the challenger is then able to grab a handful of Steve's hair and drag him to his feet. Keeping Twist bent over, Cabrell hammers away at the back of the GWA Grand Champion with some clubbing forearms that knock him back down to a knee. Dragging Twist up from this position gives Dante a chance to hit a couple of knees for good measure before locking him into a gutwrench with Steve doubled over. Lifting the champion up into the air, Cabrell stalls him there momentarily and then slams Steve down to the canvas with a Gutwrench Powerbomb! Into a cover Dante goes after this, 1...2...2.5...Steve kicks out. Knowing that wasn't going to be it, but being annoyed by the resistance of Twist to let go of his belt, Dante rips the "Pound for Pound King" back up to his feet and directly back into this position. A second Gutwrench Powerbomb comes from here as Dante goes into another cover, 1...2...2.5...Steve kicks out. While Cabrell tells London to count faster next time, Steve rolls out of the ring in order to recover from this precise attacking by Dante. Seeing this, Cabrell goes to follow Twist out of the ring as well, making the fans on the floor stand up and start shouting obscenities at both wrestlers whom are plenty hated here in the GWA.

Twist isn't even up on his feet before Dante is out on the floor as well, but that doesn't seem to matter to Steve who has Saria confront Cabrell in his place. Knocking Saria on her a** in a matter of seconds, Dante pursues Steve who is constantly scooting backwards on the floor away from the challenger until he hits his back on a ring barricade. "Oi, referee! I want my second timeout now!" Steve yells while Peter London turns a deaf ear to him. Lifting his leg into the air Dante stomps down on Twist, only for the champion to catch it and shoot a grin towards Dante. Moving to his knees, Steve pulls Dante down by his leg and causes the challenger to slam into the ring barricade. Of course this isn't going to be enough to hold Cabrell up for long so, as Dante stands back up and turns around, Twist grabs the ringside table and throws it into Cabrell's cocky face! "I call that the Cocky Canadian Crusher, b***h." Twist announces as he then grabs onto Roselyn Peters when he sees Cabrell shove the table away from him. Placing Roselyn over his shoulder, Twist uses the ring announcer like a battering ram by driving her into the chest of Cabrell, getting a huge amount of jeering from the crowd except from a few fans who totally love this shtick. Steve gives these fans a thumbs up while he kicks Roselyn in the face a couple of times before realizing she isn't Dante and moving back over to his challenger. "You did that on purpose you sexist pig!" Some woman yells from the crowd. "Man, woman, it doesn't matter when they both should have been the same thing. An abortion." Replies Twist who brings Cabrell back to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Inside the ring Dante gets back to his feet, being more dazed by the events on the outside of the ring than hurt, but Steve finally seems to be having his fun as he stalks the challenger in order to place him in a Sleeper! Usually the fans would think this is Twist going back into his stalling, playful mode, but they know better as this Sleeper has been a key factor in many of Twist's victories. Sure the reason he uses it is probably because it is a stalling, playful hold for him, but that doesn't mean it isn't effective as Dante quickly finds out when he drops down to a knee.

"C'mon Dante, whatever happened to all your talk about taking this belt with your Canadian Quai Tan Ping Toe Doe Schmoe?" Twist says to his challenger in a mocking fashion as he keeps him locked in the Sleeper. While kneeing Dante in the kidneys, Steve tells London to get to checking if Cabrell is out of it. London does this reluctantly, grabbing the near arm of Dante and raising it into the air. "One..." London says as he gives Dante a little time in-between to recover before grabbing his arm again. "Two..." London states as he holds out hope that Cabrell will make a move from here. "If you're just going to be a d**k about it forget it." Twist states as he throws Dante down to the ground and flips London off. This ridiculous arrogance by the champion gets even more booing from the crowd who is all over him at this point in the match. In fact, the crowd is so angered by Steve's antics that when he grabs Dante by the head and picks him up Cabrell is cheered for raking Twist's eyes and shoving him down to the canvas. "******** your sympathy, pawns." Dante says in reply to these cheers, getting everyone angry at him as well. "The Cocky Canadian" is still a bit light headed from being in that Sleeper however, this showing through when he has to lean on the ropes to keep on his feet. Twist tries to take advantage of this by rushing Cabrell, but it doesn't work as Dante sprints a short way away from the ropes to take Steve down with a Running Back Elbow. Not giving the champ an inch, Cabrell stands on the midsection of Steve after this to go back to what he had worked on earlier. When he feels confident that his body is back up to snuff, Dante steps down from Twist and leaves him coughing in pain while kicking at his ribs. Moving around the beaten up body of his opponent allows Dante to grab onto Steve's legs in order to place him in the Liontamer! "The Aphotic Rose" cries out in pain from this as the crowd tells him to shut up as well as telling Dante to do something creative for once. These comments are ignored by the wrestlers in the ring who struggle to either finish this match or make it continue at the moment. "Hey assholes at ringside! Should I tap out?" Steve asks as he reaches for the ropes. A resounding yes is their answer, but Twist gives a "too bad" to respond by grabbing onto the near bottom rope.

1...2...3...4...Dante breaks the hold as he laughs at the crowd for replying when Steve called them assholes. His mood isn't so cheerful when it comes to the champion trying to escape to the outside of the ring however. Cabrell grabbing onto Steve's legs keeps Twist from going anywhere except back into the ring when Dante drags him there. "We aren't done yet with this hold." Dante tells Steve as he places him back into the Liontamer that gets some "boring" chants from the crowd. Neither man could give less of a s**t how "boring" this match is to the fans because all they want is to head out of it with another win and the GWA Grand Championship around their waist. At the moment Cabrell looks like he has the best chance of doing that as Twist struggles to free himself from the Liontamer a second time, his aching spine starting to get the best of him. Calling Saria to him, Steve grabs onto her hands as she pulls him towards the ropes before gaining the attention of London. Having the referee distracted, Twist manages to turn out of the Liontamer so he is on his back prior to slipping a leg free from Dante and slamming his foot into Cabrell's "lower abdomen" to get the challenger to let him go. Once he is back on his feet Steve hits a couple of chops to the back of Dante's head before placing him into a reverse standing head scissors and jumping up to slam him face first into the mat. Pushing up off the ground Twist slams Dante's face into the canvas several more times as Saria counts along. "1...2...3...4...5!" Times Cabrell eats canvas for Twist to complete the Skull BUSTAH!! The jeering for this move leaves Twist perplexed until he realizes what it is the crowd wants. "Oh, one more time!" Steve shouts in realization as the crowd boos even louder. Half-assing a few more repetitions, Steve covers Dante not long after, 1...2...2.5...Dante kicks out. Not wasting time, Twist flips Dante back over onto his stomach after this and applies a Crossface to weaken the neck of Cabrell even more. Not being afraid to milk this hold Steve rears back in it as the annoyed crowd looks on to see if Dante will tap to end their agony. Forward towards the ropes Dante journeys as if to answer this, but Twist's feet find these ropes to block this path off.

Obviously this isn't legal and London goes to enforce that immediately as he kicks Steve's legs away from the ropes. Not liking the attitude London has about doing that, Twist places his feet right back on the ropes and sticks his tongue out at London while keeping the Crossface applied. 1...2...3...4...Steve removes his feet from the ropes momentarily before placing his feet right back on them to annoy London further. Playing this little game makes Steve loosen the hold enough for Dante to roll through it however, causing the champion to snap back to attention. Grabbing Dante in a Side Headlock while he's still on his back, "The Aphotic Rose" attempts to control the challenger as he makes it to his feet. This plan fails as Cabrell elbows his way out of the hold before grabbing Steve by the wrist and whipping him across the ring. Steve can't stop himself on the ropes due to the surprise of being knocked off of Dante, but he is able to see what is coming next and stops Cabrell's attempted Northern Cross Spinebuster with a JUMPING KNEE! Down "The Cocky Canadian" goes and Steve is quick to follow up with a cover, 1...2...2.7...Dante kicks out. No subsequent cover comes as Twist stands up to his feet, looking disgusted that this match is still going. "FINISH HIM!" Some MK lover from the crowd shouts as Twist stumbles around the ring while faking a massive pain in his knee. In response to this Steve gets his arm loaded up while Cabrell gets up to his feet, looking to finally go for a move that could end things. Spinning around on the soles of his boots the first thing Cabrell sees when he is up is Twist coming at him with a LARIATOOOOO!! Using his right arm Dante blocks this, the arms of the two wrestlers colliding making both stand down momentarily. The GWA Grand Champion turns away from Cabrell after this and goes to walk away, but this choice becomes a bad one quickly as Cabrell is sick and tired of Steve's mind games. Smashing Twist over the back of the head with an Axe Handle, Cabrell makes sure his opponent is quite groggy prior to lifting him up into the air. Spinning Twist around in the air the crowd gives a mixed reaction as Dante then plants Steve with the PROTO BOMB!! Into a cover Dante goes, 1...2...2.8...Steve kicks out.

Twist kicking out of this doesn't surprise anyone, including Dante who places Twist into a Bearhug on the ground. Being resilient beyond measure is how Steve has managed to keep his belt despite his attitude inside the ring and Cabrell now seems to be looking to break this resilience down with everything he has. A few elbows to the ribs here and there from Cabrell who keeps the Bearhug applied otherwise is a good start to this as the pain begins to show on Steve's face. Everything so far has begun to add up exactly when it counts and taking advantage of this is a specialty of the cocky one. Lifting Steve up to a vertical base while keeping the Bearhug in, Dante then switches his position to a waistlock when Twist begins to chop at his neck. Hoisting the champ up, Dante flexes backwards and slams Steve into the mat with a Bridged German Suplex, 1...2...2.5...Steve kicks out. Not wasting a second after this Dante drags Steve right back to his feet and whips him across the ring. When Twist comes back Dante is able to lift him up into the air and spin him around to hit a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker as the crowd keeps up their awkward mixed reaction. Rather than pinning Steve, Cabrell picks him up off his knee and keeps him bent over in the center of the ring as he runs backwards toward the ropes. Twist being so out of it already allows Dante to his his Running Fame-asser with ease this time as he drops down into a cover not long after, 1...2...2.8...Steve kicks out. Again Dante gets Steve back to his feet, knowing that he can't go through all that Dante is willing to dish out to win that belt. Even if Dante wants to dish it out, Steve shows he isn't going to take it when he smacks Cabrell's arm away from his face and swiftly brings the challenger into a front facelock. Allowing Cabrell's face to meet his knee, Twist tries to take the match back into his hands by whatever means necessary. This only works so long before Dante backs Steve into the corner which gets London to make Steve break the hold. Having Steve right where he wants him, Dante goes to stomping away at the midsection of the champion until he is slumped down in the corner, the crowd rising to their feet for what they expect to be coming next. Cabrell grabs onto Steve's legs when he sees he is down and out in order to hit the DARKEST SIDE POWERBOMB!! Directly into a cover Dante goes, 1...2...2.9...Steve kicks out!

While he isn't too surprised, Dante is none too happy about this as he tells London to count and covers Steve again, 1...2...2.5...Steve kicks out. Cabrell gives up on making Twist go down from this move as he grabs the legs of the champ and stands to his feet. After dragging him to the middle of the ring, Dante crosses Twist's legs and the crowd goes wild for what they think is coming next. Unfortunately, Steve has other plans as he fights his legs free and rolls away towards the ropes to impede Cabrell's planned finish. Twist drags himself up using the ropes slowly, knowing he has to come up with some plan of attack to finish Cabrell off. He isn't given a chance to think of anything however, Dante rushing towards Twist and smashing him in the side of the head with a Running Back Elbow to keep his advantage. This blow is shrugged off shortly after however, Steve deciding on what he wants to do next. The side of Twist's hand smashes furiously into the chest of Dante as he lets loose a barrage of chops that his few fans in attendance have been waiting for. The Twist detractors in the audience have been waiting for this too, to boo it that is. Cheering or jeering doesn't matter at the moment as Cabrell is completely taken aback by this, enough to allow Steve to lock in a front facelock afterwards. Muscling Dante up into the air, Steve drops back to hit a Brainbuster much to the annoyance of the crowd. Twist rolls through this and gets back to his feet while Saria cheers him on. Again Steve is able to lift Cabrell up, this time completing a Cross-Legged Brainbuster as the crowd just wants someone to end this already. Twist's back seems to be bothering him as he gets back to his feet for the final time, but he goes to complete the BRAINBUSTER SYNDICATE nonetheless! Unfortunately for Steve, Dante breaks away from him and spins the GWA Grand Champion around prior to lifting him up and hitting THE BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN!! Arching his back in pain, Twist shoves Cabrell away from him in order to keep from being pinned, but that isn't what Dante wants to do. Bringing Steve up to his feet Cabrell keeps him facing the opposite direction as the crowd lets out some wild cheering/jeering for the ROCK BOTTOM REDUX!!! Cover, 1...2...2.999...Steve grabs the bottom rope!

After pounding his fist against the canvas several times, Dante pulls Steve away from the ropes for another cover, 1...2...2.9...Twist just lifts a shoulder off the mat. Despite his disappointment being evident, Cabrell knows what he has to do now as he slowly drags Steve up to a standing position for what he hopes will be the final time in this match. It doesn't look like it will be as Steve fights away from Dante, placing his back against the ropes to give himself a chance to rest. Hoping to catch a look of desperation the champion's face, Dante gives him a moment to catch his breath, but all Twist shows him in return is a tongue as he goes right back to mocking Cabrell. Twist's childish behavior isn't going to do him any good now as Dante slams Steve in the face with a few right hands before whipping him across the ring. Steve comes back shortly after with Dante positioned in the center of the ring, hitting the unsuspecting Cabrell with a LARIATOOOOO!! "AHAHAHA" Laughing sadistically at this folly of Dante does Steve while Dante gets back up to a vertical base where he faces another LARIATOOO-NO! "The Cocky Canadian" catches Steve's arm with his own and turns around to the backside of Steve before hitting the EVOLUTIONARY BACKBREAKER!! Twist cringes in pain on the canvas as a look of "not yet" shoots across Dante's face and he gets to his feet. Grabbing onto Steve's legs, Dante crosses them as the fans in Gambino ERUPT over the next move. A move better known as Twist's kryptonite, the one and only OMEGA PRISON!!! From the crowd come screams consisting simply of "TAAAAAAAAAAP!" at Steve who yells "******** YOU" at everyone who tells him to do so. London knows this match just might be over here as he gets in Twist's face and asks him if he gives up. "Of course I don't!" Twist replies as he tries his best to hide the pain this hold is inflicting on him. Not only does this move target Steve's hurt back, but it also takes advantage of Twist's always questionable right leg which Dante seems to be isolating a bit in the hold. "Give up Steve, you lost this by your own arrogance." Dante tells his opponent as the GWA Grand Champion simply starts to laugh. "Me...lose...I...I never lose!" Twist says through his laughs as he reaches his hand into the air. Everyone in Gambino goes absolutely wild for what they see next as Steve's mat hits the canvas for a TAP OUT!!!

NO! Twist fools everyone as he slams his hand into the canvas not to tap, but to turn himself back onto his back in the hold. Struggling to turn Steve back over, Dante bends down where Steve begins to chop at his head. Many blows hit before Dante loosens his grip, something that allows Twist to ensnare Cabrell's head with his arm. Ridiculous levels of noise is the only way to describe the crowd reaction as Twist suddenly rolls Dante into the AKUMA NO YADORU SMALL PACKAGE!!! 1...2...WAIT, Steve rolls through it! Up to their feet the two wrestlers go as Twist swiftly places Dante into a wrist-clutch. The crowd cannot believe what they're seeing as Twist fights through his beaten and bruised back to hit the GATES OF AMARANTHINE!!!! Dante is ******** DEAD as Twist makes the cover, 1...2...2.999...3!!!

Roselyn Peters: "And here is your winner, and still an a*****e of a GWA Grand Champion, Steve 'Savior' Twist."

|Despite their constant jeering during the match, the GWA fans give that finish the round of applause it deserves as neither man would give an inch in the end. Saria rushes into the ring to check up on Steve who has an odd look in his eye as the GWA Grand Championship is handed to him by Peter London. Placing the belt on his shoulder, Steve signals for a microphone as the fans quiet down quickly, seeing their foolishness for cheering.|

Twist: "You want this belt so ******** badly Dante, have it!" Steve yells prior to throwing the belt down on the fallen Dante. "Does that make you happy Cabrell? Does that useless piece of gold satisfy you despite you losing to me again? It shouldn't, it shouldn't satisfy anyone in the GWA now. Because like it or not you boring, frustrating excuse for wrestlers, I am the GWA Grand Champion through and through. I've held that belt longer than anyone and I will continue to hold it as long as I feel like doing so. This company needs something different to happen already because, unlike my title reign which is just as never ending as an Ouroboros, you can't have the same thing happening forever. So I want to hear it GWA members, CA members. Admit that you've been defeated by Steve Twist, by the Apostles of Amaranthine! Get over yourselves and your foolish pride and lick my boots like good little boys and tomboys! Because if you won't admit that you've been defeated, then I will show you that you have been defeated!"

"You may now rejoice ******** are left with these words along with jeering as loud as during the match as Twist leaves Dante lying in the center of the ring. Whether Twist and the AoA will come through on this promise is something only time can tell, but it is certain things will be changing in some way around the GWA soon.|
