Roselyn enters the ring, the entire crowd quiets down, recognizing immediately the immense importance of this match. Despite the silence, a current of excitement can be felt running through each and every fan as they await the outcome to the biggest feud in GWA history.

Roselyn: "The following six-man tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, with no time limit! There must be a winning team! As a stipulation, the losing faction will disband permanently."

The crowd bursts into cheers at that, the excitement finally boiling over as they recognize the chance of having the Apostles finally broken apart forever. So much that they even forget to boo Peter London, who seems to be plenty relieved at that, wiping his hand across his forehead with a stupid grin.

The lights in the arena flash to a sudden red color, a blistering thrash riff bursting through the speakers, the crowd immeidately beginning to boo and jeer, knowing who this signals. Some fans are still cheering, however, banging their heads along with the music and pounding the ring barriers, obviously wanting to see the Apostles to continue their rampage. The riff gets more and more intense as it goes on, then suddenly cuts out for a few moments, only to come back in full force. At the same time, Dar throws open the curtains, walking out onto the ramp, followed closely by Kal and Revision, the two of them looking very energetic tonight, while Dar has his stony expression as always.

When you hear the darkness calling out your name
Don't try to fight the power surge!
Don't you laugh, for this is not a game
You're powerless, don't resist the urge!

Revision shadow-boxes wildly, obviously pumped up for this match, while Kal just shakes his wrists out, seeming to be trying to ignore the sound of angry white men screaming around him. Dar just looks forward as always, rolling his neck a little before starting down the ramp, followed by his two partners, knocking hands away from them and getting into a few short arguments along the way. The fans seem to be more vocal tonight, knowing the importance this match has, but a threatening step towards the barrier from Dar is enough to shut them up temporarily.

Roselyn: "Making their way to the ring...At a combined weight of seven hundred fifty pounds...They are the team of the 'Hollywood Highlight' Killa Kal, the GWA Openweight Champion and 'Rock Icon', Revision, and 'Generally Hostile' Darson Grays...THE APOSTLES OF AMARANTHINE!!!"

So many black hearts answering the call
Legions of the musically possessed!
Congregations joining in our free-for-all
Releasing all the rage they've repressed!

At the end of the aisle, the three men split up, Kal heading over to take the steps while Dar uses the ropes to pull himself up onto the apron, Revision quickly hopping up to scramble up the ropes, standing atop the corner across from Kal's. The three men quickly shed any unneccessary clothing, tossing it away to the outside and moving to each corner of the ring, flexing menacingly in Dar and Kal's case, while Revision taunts the GWA team before they're even out there, the crowd booing them loudly the entire time.

Come to us, succumb to lust
Give in to the ministry of sin
You know the drill, do as you will
Dance like the demons of the din

All will yearn for our nocturne
The dawning of our cult is at hand
Come and pray, we know the way
BOW TO THE TEMPO OF THE DAMNED!!!

Kal and Dar head over to the corner where Revision is, the icon taking a seat on the top turnbuckle while the two much larger men stand at either side of him, the song moving into a blistering solo before fading out, the lights going back up to their normal white glow.

The intro to "Reise, Reise" soars over the arena like a hawk with a chivalrous cry, the crowd immediately bursting into cheers, knowing that the first of their saviors are on their way out.

dOhh...whe...
dOhh...whe...
dOhh...whe...
dOhh...whe...

However, just like at Ouroboros, the intro fades out for a few moments, only to suddenly burst into the heavy part of "Wake Up" by lostprophets, the crowd cheering even louder now as Hated swats away the curtain, Sparco running out beside him a moment later. Hated seems as regal as ever as he looks around the room, observing everyone calmly, but Sparco is very energetic tonight, running around the top of the ramp to high-five fans and give a few encouraging words. Pretty soon, the two begin their walk down the ramp.

So are we lost or do we know,
which direction we should go?
Sit around and wait for someone,
to take our hand and lead the way.

Hated doesn't make much of an attempt to slap hands with the fans, but Sparco more than makes up for it, seeming to be doing it with almost every crowd member on the way down. At the center of the aisle, Hated throws his arms out to the side, slowly making a circle before ending up facing the ring once again, lowering his arms.

'Cause every day we're getting older,
and every day we all get colder,
we're sick of waiting for our answers...

Sparco runs down the ramp, Hated following after him as he slides into the ring, Hated quickly pulling himself up onto the apron and stepping through the ropes as Roselyn makes her announcement.

Roselyn: "And their opponents...At a combined weight of four hundred nineteen pounds...They are Andrew 'Hated' Clearwater and Sparco 'The Prolixus' Giliath...TEAM GWA!!!"

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so sick of waiting, for us to make a move.

As the music dies down, Sparco quickly runs over to the ropes, silencing the crowd as he points back towards the curtains. "ONE MORE!" The crowd bursts into cheers once again, knowing that the team still has one more member to make this an even match.

The lights in the arena dim down quickly, a new theme suddenly coming over the speakers, one nobody recognizes, but immediately associate it with the final member of GWA's six-man team.

Tokyo!
GO!
Tokyo!
GO!
Tokyo!
GO!
Tokyo!

Once the intro ends, smoke shoots up from near the entrance area, the crowd cheering even louder as a figure makes his way out into the shadows, the white shiny longcoat immediately clueing the fans in to who it is, as if they didn't know already.

GO!
Tokyo!
Tokyo! GO!

Strobe lights suddenly go off, flashing around the entrance way wildly and revealing the figure as CODY BOGARD! The crowd cheers wildly, pounding the barriers as Cody grins out at the fans, slowly starting to make his way down the ramp towards the ring.

Go, and I go with the flow one so I pump it up and never let go
Gonna take no rhythm, beat the bass go on, gotta get 'em
Rockin rockin rockin' never never gonna stoppin' stoppin' stoppin'
Stop the beat the beat the beat beat, 'cause here we go!

I wanna see you go
I got to make you go
I wanna see you go
I've GOT to make you go
I wanna see you go
I got to make you go
I wanna see you go, go
Well here we... GO GO GO GO GO GO GO

Cody heads down towards the ring, high-fiving fans on either side of him by simply holding his arms out, running down towards the ring as he reaches the halfway point, lowering his arms to spring up onto the apron, quickly climbing up onto the turnbuckles and holding his arms out in a pose.

Roselyn: "And their partner...From San Mateo, California...Weighing in at two hundred four pounds, he is the Burning Avenger...CODY BOGARD!!!"

Generate with the power when you step into the night
No turning back when I'm on the attack keep on going 'till it's light
Time to leave your reality, it's time to let it go
If you wanna be free than listen to me, go go Tokyo!

Cody jumps down from the top, quickly pulling off his longcoat and throwing it to the outside, Sparco and Hated moving over to join him, the music fading out as the two teams stare across at one another. Suddenly, a taunt from Revision gets the two teams moving towards the center, looking like they might be ready to start the match right now, but London quickly runs in between the them, yelling loudly to make himself heard and telling them to move over to their own corners. After a few moments, the teams comply, allowing London to sigh with relief and call for the bell.

DING DING DING!!!

As the two teams split up to head back to their corners, Dar says something to Kal, the highlight grinning as he suddenly turns around and dashes across the ring, attacking the GWA team from behind. Bogard happens to be the one in the middle, thus taking the brunt of the attack, getting slammed with a Eurocut from behind. Bogard stumbles forward, but quickly turns around and responds with a hard right hand, Kal responding with another Eurocut. London quickly runs over, pushing the other two GWA team members back in their corner, wanting to get this match started. The two continue to trade strikes in the middle of the ring, Bogard slamming his fist into the side of Kal's face while Kal knocks his jaw up into his head with Eurocuts. Finally, after one particularly hard punch from Bogard, Kal turns around from the force, but then turns back around to throw a Big Boot into Bogard's face, knocking him back several steps. Bogard runs back to the ropes, though, going for a Superkick, but Kal ducks to the side, grabbing him in a Reverse Waistlock and throwing him back with a Released German! Bogard manages to land on his feet, however, coming back off the ropes and ducking a Clothesline from Kal, coming back off the ropes again to duck a Eurocut, blowing him over with a Calf-Kick Lariat on the return. Kal quickly rolls back up to his feet, charging forward and blowing Bogard over with a Running Eurocut. Bogard rolls back into the corner as Kal falls back into the opposite one, both men breathing heavily, the crowd already up on their feet and cheering for the action, applauding the intensity of the two wrestlers.

The two men begin to circle around one another after several moments, locking up to fight over the grapple, only for Bogard to suddenly break it and lay into Kal with punches again, knocking him back into the ropes. Kal bends down and covers his head, but Bogard just continues to club his forearm down onto his back, finally grabbing his head and pulling him back towards his corner, allowing Sparco to tag himself in. Sparco quickly enters the ring, pulling Kal away from Bogard to grab his leg and swing him over onto the mat with a Dragon Screw. Laying his leg out, Sparco throws himself up to hit a Leg Drop on it, reaching down afterwards to put him in a log lock, only for Kal to grab his arm and flip him over into a Cross Armbreaker! Sparco frantically rolls back over towards the ropes, but has trouble getting the last few inches to it, Kal wrenching back hard on his arm, but finally managing to drape his leg over the bottom rope for a break. Both men quickly get back up to their feet, but Sparco backs off, recognizing he can't just go straight into a strike battle with Kal. Instead, he circles around with him for a few seconds, quickly shooting in for a grapple, only to be met with a boot to the gut. Kal drives his fist down onto Sparco's back, dragging him over to the corner for Revision to tag himself in. Sparco manages to pull away in time, though, preventing himself from being attacked in the corner. He and Revision circle one another for several seconds before finally locking up, Sparco pulling Revision into a Side Headlock. Revision quickly pushes him up into the ropes, though, sending him across the ring. The Prolixus comes back to duck a forearm, coming back off the ropes to duck a Shotei attempt, coming off one more time to fling himself up in the air and throw Revision across the ring with a Headscissors Takedown!

Sparco quickly rolls back up to his feet as Revision pushes himself up to all fours, running back towards the ropes, only to get a knee thrown into his back by Kal! The crowd boos that, Revision quickly getting up and running forward as Kal enters the ring, both of them lifting Sparco up and throwing him into the ropes. Sparco manages to duck a Double Clothesline, though, rebounding off the ropes to throw himself up in the air and nail both men in the jaw with a Split Kick! Kal rolls out of the ring while Revision clutches his jaw, Sparco quickly running to the corner in an attempt to knock Dar off the apron, but Dar stops him dead in his tracks with an elbow to the face. The Samoan yanks his legs out from under him and pulls him out of the ring, obviously going to teach him a lesson for trying something like that, but Sparco reverses his attempted Irish Whip, sending Dar straight into the ring barrier! Meanwhile, Bogard pulls Revision out of the ring to knock him around with a few hard blows to the back of his neck, Sparco rolling back into the ring and raising one arm up in the air, the crowd bursting into cheers as Bogard rolls the Openweight champ back inside for the Prolixus. Sparco hauls Revision back up to his feet, grabbing him bby the back of his head and running him over to the corner to bash his face down into the top turnbuckle, quickly following it by tagging out to Hated. Hated lets Revision back away, though, gesturing behind him and telling him to get Dar into the ring. Revision turns back to face the Samoan, who reaches out with one arm, but stares down Hated the entire time, entering the ring after getting the tag from his partner. The crowd immediately gets excited at this, Hated and Dar pushing up against one another for a few moments before locking up in a grapple, Hated throwing himself forward to push Dar back against the ropes. The shogun quickly pulls away to slice a chop across Dar's chest, but the Samoan fires back with a hard elbow, not phased by the strike.

Both men walk back out towards the center of the ring, locking up again, only for Dar to push Hated back into the ropes this time, hitting him with an elbow, but getting a hard chop in return, making him back off. Neither man seems to be willing to admit that the strikes of his opponent are actually doing anything, but finally lock back up again, Dar pulling Hated around into a Reverse Waistlock this time. Hated quickly starts to twist out and pull him into an Armbar, but Dar grabs his own wrist, preventing it from getting twisted around any further. Hated tries to wrench it around anyway, trying to pull Dar's arm away to do so, but Dar refuses to let him lock in the hold, backing up towards the ropes to break it up. Hated doesn't give him a clean break, though, instead throwing a knee up into his mid-section, pulling him across the ring by his arm to whip him into the ropes, only to pull him straight into a Short-Arm Knee to the stomach. Hated pulls him back across the ring to do the same, knocking the Samoan's ribs around with the strikes. Pulling him back out to the center of the ring, Hated turns him over into a Reverse Facelock, then drops down to slam him down with a Backbreaker from that position. Hated follows up with a pin from there. "1...2" Dar kicks out. Hated pulls Dar up to his feet, reaching over to tag out to Bogard, both men pushing Dar up against the ropes to whip him across the ring, nailing him with a Double Back Elbow, sending him hard down to the mat. Bogard quickly follows up with a pin. "1..." DISRESPECT to the Burning Avenger as Dar kicks out at one, but gets a stomp to the head from Hated in the process as he exits the ring. Bogard quickly pulls him into a Rear Facelock on the mat. Bogard squeezes Dar's temples, cutting off the blood to his head, but the Samoan slowly rolls himself over, pushing himself up to his feet, despite Bogard trying to lean over him and force him down. As he gets up to his feet, though, Bogard throws a punch, connecting solidly with Dar's jaw. The Samoan doesn't go down, but Bogard doesn't seem intimidated, throwing another punch, only to get an elbow this time. Bogard stumbles back, then gets a knee to his face as he's doubled over, knocking him down to the mat. Dar decides to take a break, walking over to tag out to Kal.

Kal quickly enters the ring, pulling Bogard up to his feet and whipping him into the ropes, blowing him away on the rebound with a HUGE Eurocut, sending Bogard flying up in the air before landing hard on his back. Kal quickly follows up with a pin. "1...2..." Bogard kicks out. The highlight pulls him back up to his feet, but as he pulls him into a Front Facelock and starts to lift him up for a suplex, Bogard blocks it, locking his leg around Kal's. Kal tries again, pulling him up harder, but Bogard continues to block it, refusing to get hit with the move. Finally, Bogard throws several hard punches into Kal's ribs, quickly reaching down to grab his tights and lift him up for his own Vertical Suplex! Bogard holds his own back after that move, having had to strain a bit to get Kal up off his feet, but quickly rolls over and tags out to Hated. Bogard hauls Kal up to his feet, quickly wrenching his arms back behind him and locking them there as Hated leans back for a chop across Kal's unprotected chest. Kal tries to pull out of it after that, but Bogard manages to hang on long enough for Hated to hit a second one before the highlight breaks away, Bogard quickly rolling out of the ring. Hated chops him back against the ropes as he gets up, but Kal throws a Eurocut into his jaw in response. This stuns Hated long enough for Kal to start to string them together, knocking him back out towards the center of the ring to push him against the ropes, whipping him across the ring and nailing him with a big Clothesline. Kal doesn't follow up with a pin, however, instead lifting him back up to his feet. Hated tries to twist and pull away, but a quick knee to his mid-section stops that long enough for Kal to drag him back to the corner and allow Revision to tag himself in. Revision pulls Hated up and whips him across the ring, throwing himself up to connect with a Dropkick on the return, knocking him down hard. Revision follows it up with a pin. "1...2..." Hated kicks out, throwing Revision off of him in the process and looking rather angry as he sits up.

Revision quickly runs over and pulls him into a Dragon Sleeper before he can get up, though, pulling back on his head and squeezing tightly. Hated slowly pushes himself up to his feet, managing to twist around and turn the hold into a Front Facelock, only to wrap his arms around Revision and pull him back in a Northern Lights Suplex! Hated doesn't bridge, quickly rolling over and pulling Revision back up to his feet, this time slamming him right down with the AIR SUPPLY!!! Revision lands hard from the STO, but Hated doesn't stop, quickly grabbing his leg and rolling him over into a Half Crab! Hated bends back disgustingly far with the hold, Revision's foot not too far from touching the back of his head, making him cry out in pain, flailing his arms wildly, but refusing to tap. Luckily for him, though, he has two partners to help out with this, Dar quickly running into the ring and bashing an elbow into the back of Hated's head to break the hold. Hated pulls Revision back up to a vertical base, then rears back and knocks him clean off his feet with a chop! Bogard steps through the ropes to take a quick stomp on Revision, but Hated tags out to Sparco. The Prolixus lifts Revision back up and shoves him into the corner, tangling up one of his legs in the ropes and quickly throwing a kick right up into the side of his head, knocking him dizzy. Sparco then runs back across the ring, coming back to throw himself into a Dropkick, nailing it right on Revision's knee. Sparco then hauls the icon out of the ropes, throwing him over onto his back to drop over him for a pin. "1...2..." Revision kicks out. Sparco quickly rolls him over onto his stomach, pulling him into a Full Nelson and leaning back to pull him up in a Sugar Hold. As he does this, he taunts Dar and Kal, the two Apostles quickly going to enter the ring, but London runs over to stop them, allowing Bogard and Hated to run in and take some cheap shots, obviously not worrying about scruples in a match with this much hanging on it. After one last hard chop from Hated, the two exit the ring, Sparco breaking the hold and rolling Revision over for another pin. "1...2..." Revision just manages to get a shoulder up.

Sparco pulls Revision back up to his feet, shoving him into the ropes to whip him across the ring, but Revision reverses this one, taking the Prolixus down on the return with a SHOTEI! Sparco takes it pretty well, rolling over onto all fours and shaking his head to try and clear it, ignoring the pain as best he can, but as he gets up to all fours, Revision charges forward, blowing him away into the opposite corner with a JOHN WOO DROPKICK!!! Kal quickly pulls him to the outside while he's still stunned, grabbing his arm and whipping him into the guard rail chest-first! Before Kal can follow up, he gets bashed with a forearm from behind by Bogard, who quickly grabs his arm and goes to whip him into the opposite rail, only for Kal to reverse it and send him chest-first into it as well! Hated has run over to do the same, but he joins his partners in the steel, Dar grabbing him from behind and sending him into the rail. The teams break down at this point, Revision grabbing Sparco and whipping him into the rail once again, chest-first. Sparco leans over the rail this time, grimacing with pain, but this turns out to be a huge mistake as Revision suddenly vaults up on top of the rail, jumping up to hit a GUILLOTINE DOUBLE STOMP ON THE GUARD RAIL!!! Sparco and Revision collapse into the crowd side of the barrier, Revision quickly hopping back up to his feet and vaulting over the rail, holding both arms up in the air as he rolls back into the ring to get a breather. London tries to restore some order, forcing Hated and Bogard back to their corner, Dar climbing up into his as well while Kal grabs Sparco and hauls him back up over the rail to roll him into the ring as Revision tags out to Dar, finally getting a rest and allowing the Samoan to come in and keep up the attack. Dar decides to just head over and pin Sparco, knowing he has to be weakened after getting his mid-section crushed against the top of the guard rail, covering him. "1...2...TH-NO!" Sparco manages to kick out.

Dar quickly pulls Sparco over into a seated position, shoving his knee up into his back and grabbing his chin, wrenching back to lock in a Rear Chinlock. After several seconds like this, Dar pulls his leg back to drive his knee into Sparco's back a few times, finally rolling the move over to crouch over his back and lock him in a Camel Clutch! Dar wrenches back hard on this one, stretching Sparco's neck muscles violently. Seeing how this could be bad, Bogard quickly enters the ring, running towards the ropes, but then suddenly turns and knocks Kal off the apron with a forearm! Bogard then quickly runs over and bashes Dar in the face to break the hold as well, the crowd cheering for that as Bogard heads back over to his corner. Kal isn't about to let this go, though, walking around the ring as Bogard quickly drops off the apron to meet him, the two intercepting at the corner and beginning to trade strikes. Kal manages to get the advantage, laying into him with a flurry of Eurocuts before whipping Bogard right into a section of the guard rail where it connects with the next part, causing it to fold inward around the Burning Avenger. Meanwhile, Dar hauls Sparco over to the corner, tagging out to Revision. The icon grabs Sparco, whipping him into the opposite set of ropes and grabbing him on the return for a Deep Arm Drag, rolling into the move with his momentum and grabbing Sparco's legs in the same motion to transition it into a cradle! "1...2..." Sparco kicks out. Revision quickly rolls both of them over so that Sparco is on his stomach, standing up and locking his legs, reaching down to slap his sides to get his arms out, grabbing them and starting to rock back for the Mexican Surfboard. But Hated enters the ring at this point, Revision quickly breaking the hold and stepping back, smiling nervously as the shogun turns and starts back towards his corner...Only for Revision to run up behind him and nail him with an Enzuigiri to the back of the head!

Hated stumbles back into his corner and turns around, glaring at the icon as he tags out to Kal, who pulls Sparco up. The Prolixus attempts to fight out of his opponents' corner, throwing out kicks into Kal's midsection and turning to hit one to Revision's chest, but Revision just throws a kick straight up between Sparco's legs, getting away with it without any problems due to London trying to get Hated back out onto the apron. The crowd boos heavily for it, Revision spitting down into Sparco's face as Kal pulls him up to his feet, turning him towards Dar, who knocks him silly with a big Samoan slap! Kal shoves him back into the corner and follows up with several Eurocuts, even as Sparco slumps down into a crouch, finally falling onto all fours, and even getting a stomp to the back of the head there. Kal hauls Sparco back up to his feet once again, holding him out for Dar once more as the Samoan leans back to hit a Burning Elbow Smash! Kal allows Sparco to fall back down to the canvas, dropping over him for a pin while Revision spills out into the ring to block Bogard and Hated. "1...2...TH-NO!" Sparco kicks out. Kal lifts Sparco up and knocks him into a neutral corner with another Eurocut, whipping him across the ring into the opposite corner and charging forward, spinning down low as he as he does so and blowing the Prolixus' jaw away with a SHORYUEUROCUT!!! Before Sparco can slump down completely, Kal pulls him out of the corner, setting him up for a Back Suplex and slinging him over for the REMI-NO! SPARCO ROLLS DOWN TO PULL KAL INTO A SCHOOLBOY!!! "1...2...TH-NO!" Kal manages to kick out in time, the crowd letting out the breath they had been holding at that flash pin. Both men roll back up to their feet, Kal turning to throw a LARIA-NO! The Prolixus manages to bend backwards under the strike, quickly turning around and Dropkicking Kal's knee out from under him, running back to the ropes and coming off to take him down with a Running Knee strike! Sparco gets Kal right in his forehead, giving him the time he needs to roll over to his corner and tag out to Bogard.

Bogard quickly runs across the apron, hauling himself up onto the top rope and jumping off for a SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! Kal gets hit solidly in the chest with the move, flopping over almost onto his stomach from the force. The Burning Avenger quickly rolls up to his feet, running to the corner and knocking Dar and Revision off the apron with hard punches, the crowd riled up now that the GWA is starting to get back control. Bogard quickly moves to the outside, grabbing Revision and tossing him into the guard rail! Dar quickly grabs Bogard from behind, going to whip him into the ring barrier, but Bogard reverses it, sending the Samoan into the steel instead! Bogard pulls himself back onto the apron, hitting Kal with a punch as he charges. Bogard pulls himself back up onto the rope again, this time throwing himself forward with a SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! Kal goes down hard, the crowd cringing at the force of that move as the two men roll over to opposite corners. Bogard waits as Kal slowly pulls himself up with the ropes, then charges forward, yelling with rage as he cocks his arm back for a huge LARIATOOOOOO!!! As Kal stumbles forward, Bogard pulls him back in a Front Facelock, reaching down to hook his leg and lifting him up for a FISHERMANBUSTER! The crowd bursts into cheers as Cody rolls over onto Kal for the pin. "1...2...TH-NO!" Kal throws a shoulder up, that flurry of moves still not enough to put him down. Bogard doesn't seem discouraged, though, pulling Kal back up to his feet, only to be hit with a Eurocut! Bogard ignores it, throwing out a left hand, then a right hand, then spins around for an URAKE-NO! Kal blocks the strike with his forearm, throwing a boot into Bogard's mid-section and quickly grabbing his head, jumping up in the air to bring him down in the MOB!!! Bogard bounces off Kal's shoulders to land back on the mat, jerking and clutching at his neck for a few moments. Kal quickly rolls to the side, tagging out to Dar, needing a break after those attacks from Bogard.

As Dar enters the ring, Bogard manages to get up to his feet, charging forward right into an elbow. Bogard goes down, but rolls right back up as Dar comes off the ropes, the Samoan going for a CHARGING ELB-NO! Cody nails him with a Superkick before he can connect the strike. Dar stumbles back a few steps, but doesn't go down, holding his jaw in pain. Bogard quickly runs back to the ropes, coming off again and throwing another Superkick! Dar stumbles back again, then suddenly throws a Burning Elbow Sma-NO! Bogard ducks it, then spins around to blow Dar off his feet with an URAKEN!!! Bogard quickly rolls to the side after hitting it, reaching out to tag out to Hated. The shogun quickly runs across the ring to knock Dar back into the corner with some vicious chops, leaning back and throwing in a flurry of MACHINE GUN CHOPS! As Hated stops for a second to catch his breath, Dar suddenly grabs him and throws him back into the corner, leaning back for an ELBOW FLURRY! Dar does the same thing, leaning back to take a breath, but Hated suddenly grabs him and throws him back into the corner, clutching his head and throwing himself forward into the FEATURE PRESENTATION HEADBUTTS!!! Hated throws an almost ridiculous number of the strikes into Dar's forehead, finally stumbling back, barely able to keep up on his feet, obviously dizzy with pain. Dar stares down at Hated, then takes a step out of the corner...TO FALL TO ONE KNEE! The crowd MARKS OUT at that, jumping up to their feet and cheering wildly as Hated collapses against the ropes, panting, possibly the only person to ever get the best of this Samoan in headbutts. Sensing his chance, Hated straightens up, grabbing Dar's arm and whipping him across the ring into the opposite corner. As Hated charges forward, though, Dar throws an elbow into his face, Hated stumbling back as Dar turns and jumps up onto the middle ropes, throwing himself back in a Flying Back Elbow! Hated turns just in time to take it in the face, the Samoan quickly getting up to his feet and reaching down to grab Hated by the throat, pulling him all the way up to his feet and up for the NODOWA OTOSHIIIII!!! Dropping over Hated after delivering the slam, Dar hooks his leg for a pin. "1....2...TH-NOOO!!!" Bogard and Sparco break it up, Revision and Kal quickly running into the ring to grab them and throw them to the outisde.

Both Kal and Revision follow Bogard and Sparco to the outside, getting the attention of the referee. As Hated pulls up Dar to a seated position, the Shogun bouncing off the ropes for a running knee strike, but Dar ducks under it and levels a turning Hated with a rolling Elbow Smash from the ground. While on the outside, Kal and Revision both take hold of Bogard and Sparco respectively, dropping them with a Stun Gun right across the top of the guardrail, crushing their necks and going back to their corner. Grays takes hold of Hated’s arm as he leads him to the AoA’s corner, seating him across the turnbuckle as he backs up to the GWA corner, getting a running start, and comes crashing into Hated with a big near 300 pound, Dai Bosou. Dar rolls backwards to his feet to make the tag to Revision, hopping in with a spring in his step, driving stomps in the corner. Sparco and Cody are both still on the outside, recovering from the previous attack, unable to enter the ring to help their teammate, who now is getting triple teamed by the AoA. London tries to get some order back, but Dar intimidates him away and leaving them to stomp on Hated. Revision starts to bark orders at Dar and Kal to get Hated back on his feet while the Rock Superstar heads to the opposite corner. Kal and Dar each grab an arm, irish whipping him towards the corner, while Revision dashes right at Hated and strikes him hard with a DIVING SHOTEI. Revision quickly swings his body over on Hated for the cover…1… 2… TH- HATED KICKS OUT!!!

The Openweight Champion now rolls over in front of Hated, clinching on a front facelock, slowly turning him into a neckbreaker position. Revision has the corner in his sights, running up the corner for the FUL- HATED TURNS REVISION’S MOVE INTO THE HORRIFIC MADNESS!!! Hated turns his head to see both Sparco and Cody, on their knees as they climb back up to the mat, Sparco reaching his hand into the ring. The Shogun stumbles a little, but manages to get some balance back to make the diving tag to Sparco. The Prolixus springs into the ring like a bullet, fires a running low dropkick to Revision’s head when he rolled to his stomach in an attempt to get up. Sparco pulls Revision by his hair, unleashing a forearm smash across the Rock Superstar’s face, but Revision shakes off the stike and answers back with a Shotei on Sparco. The Prolixus holds his face for a bit, just to turn back and nail another forearm strike on Revision, provoking another Shotei from the Openweight Champion. Both men continue firing back and forth forearm strikes and Shoteis, Sparco looks for the advantage with a double forearm strike, but it doesn’t knock Revision down, answering back with a roaring Shotei. Sparco keeps his ground and launches a hurricane kick to the back of the Rock Superstar’s head, getting him stunned. Sparco leans back to the ropes to attempt a running forearm but Revision gets his senses back to duck under and lands a jumping back kick to the ribs on the Prolixus. As Sparco holds his ribs, Revision goes to the ropes and goes for a running Shotei strike, but as he hits Sparco, he gets nailed himself with a STIFF forearm smash, leaving both men knocked out on the mat. The crowd catching their breath after the striking spectacle by the normally speedy and high flying members of their respective teams.

Both corners slam on the top turnbuckle, trying to get their team members to rise to their feet. Sparco gets to his feet first, getting in a few knee strikes to the Rock Superstar’s ribs, softening him up as Sparco has him in a front facelock, looking to lift him up for a brainbuster. The Rock Superstar’s leg wraps around to block the brainbuster attempt, but Sparco fires a quick knee to the ribs to force the leg off of his, lifting him vertical…..as Revision fights back to turn the brainbuster into a SICK DDT! The Openweight Champion crawls on his hands and feet towards his corner, seeing Dar reaching in for the tag and extending just enough to make the tag with Grays. Dar starts stalking over Sparco, waiting behind him as the Prolixus rises to his feet not knowing where his opponent is. The moment Sparco realizes where he is, he turns into a elbow smash to the jaw, knocking him down. The Archtype Assassin cranks Sparco back up by the neck to get smacked silly with more elbow smashes to the head, reaching hold around the Prolixus with a scoop slam hold into a gutbuster across his knee. Clutching his ribs, Sparco looks up to see Grays, crushing down on him with all 290 pounds of his body, with a senton splash. Kal and Revision call for Dar to finish Sparco off, the Archtype Assassin shifting in front of him, begin nailing him with a flurry of MMA knee strikes to soften him up, sliding near the ropes and leaping over the Prolixus with a big knee drop across the back of Sparco’s head. Dar looks over towards the GWA corner, giving them a throat-cutting taunt as he takes Sparco’s arm and drags him near the corner. Bogard and Hated try entering the ring, only to be stopped by ref London, meanwhile Grays preps Sparco with a scoop slam right near the corner, making his climb to the top. Once Grays reaches the top, he takes a moment to look over at both Cody and Hated to taunt them some more as both men exit to the apron. Dar turns his attention back to Sparco and going for a SENTON BO-BUT HITS NOTHING BUT THE MAT AS SPARCO ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!! Dar rises to a seated position and grimaces in pain, as Sparco recovers and strikes with rapid soccer kicks to the back, following up with a dropkick to the back to bring more pain to Dar’s back. Sparco pulls the Samoan up to his feet, going for an irish whip to the GWA corner but Dar counter whips him hard in the opposite corner, left to be drilled in the face with a running elbow smash. Dar starts backing up as Sparco slumps down to a seated position in the corner, but once he reaches the corner, Hated and Bogard hold him back only for Dar to knock both away with back elbows. Bogard’s and Hated’s action appear to end up as a distraction as Sparco manages to recover and makes a charge at Dar, getting caught in midair by the Archtype Assassin. Little to the knowledge of Grays, Bogard sees Sparco’s hand nearby and gets in a tag just before Dar slams the Prolixus with an Uranage like slam in the corner.

Darson’s attention is locked on Sparco, slowly getting his hands under his body to push himself up slightly to look up to smile. Dar looks at him oddly, not noticing Bogard perched up on the turnbuckle with his back behind Dar, jumping in front of him and catching him with a rewind hurricarana. Dar starts to get to his feet, but Cody is one step ahead of him with a running kick to the stomach, wrapping his arms around Dar for a belly to belly suplex. As Cody goes for a lift, Dar uses his arms to break the hold, looking for a burning elbow smash but Cody dodges to the side to avoid the hit. Grays goes for another burning elbow strike only for Cody to dodge again, Dar spins for a ROARING EL-Cody gets in a HUGE slap across Dar’s face. The Burning Avenger doesn’t stop there as he follows up with another big slap across the Samoan’s face, then going into a barrage of machine gun slaps as Bogard yells out, “ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!” finishing up with a STIFF URAKEN!!! The assault gets the crowd up on their feet, managing to stun Dar, giving Cody a chance to go for the EXCALI-NO, Dar ducks under and grabs hold of Bogard’s arm from behind in a cross choke and CRUSHES HIM WITH THE HOSTILEPLEX!!! Dar looks to capitalize, but much to his shock and the fans, the King of Hearts springs back to his feet, shifting behind the Samoan to lock a half nelson hold, throwing his body back with a SICK HALF NELSON SUPLEX!!! Right before the crowd could get a chance to cheer, Grays gets up like he felt nothing and grabs hold of Bogard from the front, lifting him up with a DEADLY EXPLODERDEATH HEADDROP!!! Again, Bogard rolls to his feet, shaking off the little pain as he shifts behind Dar again, this time getting a sleeper hold on him, wrenching on him for a bit and rears backwards with a BRUTAL, RAGE OF THE DRAGONS!!! Just as the crowd react in shock and awe, the Archtype Assassin gets to his feet again and turns Bogard around to grab him, lifting him up and FLAT OUT MURDERING HIM WITH THE DANGEROUS BACKDROPPAH!!! Once again, Cody rises back to life like the phoenix and gets behind Dar, getting hold of his wrists and presses them behind Dar’s head, using all of his strength to DRILL HIM WITH AN EARTH SHAKING NEO DEADLY RAVE!!!

The crowd is going insane with chants of, “HOLY s**t! HOLY s**t! HOLY s**t!” as both Dar and Cody look nearly dead after taking so many head drops from each other, taking their sweet time to recover. After a while, both men get back up to deliver a slap to each other, but both men stay up as they both nail each other with simultaneous roundhouse kicks, but luck happens on Dar’s part as he falls back towards his corner, allowing for Kal to tag himself into the ring. The moment Kal gets into the ring, both Hated and Sparco enter the ring to counter, leading to Revision jumping in as well and all hell breaking loose. Dar slips out of the ring without notice, while the other four men fight nearby Bogard, who is slowly trying to recover, getting enough free time from both of his teammates to crawl to the corner. Kal and Hated fight near the ropes while Revision and Sparco fight near the corner, with Revision going for a Shotei only for Sparco to tackle him, taking hold of his legs and slingshots him into the corner. The Cynical Shogun and the Hollywood Highlight keep trading shots before firing off EuroCuts and comes up with a big Roaring EuroCut to go for the Big Bang Attack, sending Hated to the ropes, but somehow stays in the ring. Hated is staggered on his feet but he manages to grab hold of Kal’s hair after bouncing off the ropes, winding up and nailing him with a HUGE Gran Hamada style headbutt. The headbutt knocks Kal loopy as he stumbles to the middle in the ring, allowing Sparco and Cody to catch him with a HIGH-LOW, LEGCLIP/EXCALIBUR SLASH DOUBLE TEAM to send him flipping in midair. The crowd is going wild after the teamwork from the GWA team as Bogard rolls Kal onto his back to go for the cover. 1…2…THR- REVISION BREAKS IT UP AT THE LAST SECOND!!!

Sparco quickly gets Revision out of the area, shoving him away from Kal and Cody to throw out a spinning side kick, connecting directly with the icon's stomach. With the wind knocked out of him, Revision isn't able to do anything as Sparco pushes him down onto his knees, pulling his head down and stepping back to the side to begin a flurry of KAWADA KICKS!!! Meanwhile, Cody hauls Kal back up to his feet, but the Burning Avenger doesn't see Kal c**k both his arms together, looking down just in time to see two huge forearms flying up at his jaw with an AXEHANDLE EUROCUT! Stunned, Cody takes a step back, Kal quickly pulling him down into a Standing Head Scissors, reaching down to hook both his legs, pulling Cody up to fall back in the SEXYBACK DRIVAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Cody's neck gets crushed down into the mat, Kal pushing him down onto his back and leaning over him, holding down his legs tightly for the pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOOO!!!" Hated breaks it up at the last second, the crowd quickly letting out a sigh of relief. Dar runs over, spinning Hated around to face him and turning quickly for a ROARING ELBOW! Hated stumbles back into the ropes, Dar taking a step back before charging forward and CLOTHESLINING HATED TO THE OUTSIDE! Hated goes tumbling over the ropes, Sparco seeing this now and stopping his flurry of kicks to Revision, but not really wanting to let the icon go anywhere, knowing that he could interfere in this match further. This hesitance turns out to be a bad thing for his partner, though, as Dar runs across the ring at seeing Hated getting back up to his feet, diving through the ropes with an ELBOW SUICIDAAAAA!!! Hated slams back against the ring barrier, the crowd cringing at how hard the shogun was hit with that, Hated collapsing down and hanging his head forward, looking like that just might have knocked him out.

Sparco quickly realizes that he needs to get in on this and take Dar out of the match, leaving Revision alone for now as he runs to the opposite side of the ring, waiting for Dar to stand up. The Samoan slowly makes his way to his feet, turning around and looking to head back towards his corner, but he never gets a chance due to Sparco throwing himself over the ropes with a SPACE FLYING TIGER DROP!!! The two men clatter down to the ring floor, the crowd again up on their feet and pounding the barriers. At this point, Kal pulls Cody up to his feet, looking over at Revision, who slowly tries to make his way up to a vertical base, still dazed from all those kicks. Kal points over to the three men on the outside, Revision looking over and nodding before pointing at Cody. "TAKE 'IM DOWN, KAL!" The icon then runs to the ropes, Hated and Sparco getting up just in time to see Revision hauling himself up on the top one, jumping off and turning in mid-air to rapidly flip forward into the 630 SUICIDAAAAAAAAA!!!! With everyone down once again, Kal pulls Cody forward, stepping over his arms and locking his arms around his waist, calling out the end to the crowd before lifting Cody up one last time for the KHIDORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-NOOOOOOO!!! Cody rolls through in between Kal's legs, quickly getting up to his feet and turning to throw a STIFF URAKEN INTO THE BACK OF KAL'S HEAD!!! Kal stumbles forward and falls to one knee, the crowd up on their feet as Cody turns, grabbing him by his hair and turning him back around, cocking his arm back to hit him with the EXCALIBUR SLASH!!! Cody drops over Kal with the momentum of the move, staying over him for the pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOO!!!" Kal kicks out. Cody won't stop, though, pulling Kal back up to his feet and throwing a knee into his stomach, bending down to pull Kal across his back, hooking his neck and lifting him up to hold him diagonally across his back. After a few moments, Cody drops back, drilling Kal with the SEKIHA TENKYOKEN BUSTAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! Cody drops backwards, not bothering to hook a leg, just wanting to get the pin while he has the ring clear. "ONE...TWO....THR-NOOO!!! KAL GETS A SHOULDER UP!"

Cody recognizes now what he must do, slowly pushing himself back up to his feet one more time and looking over towards the pile of bodies on the outside of the ring. Seeing no noticeable movement, he draws his thumb across his neck, signalling the end of this. The crowd is immediately up on their feet, every single person watching as Cody hauls Kal up one more time, PULLING HIM UP IN A TOTURE RACK! NO ONE IS UP ON THE OUTSIDE! GALAXIAN EXPLOSION!!!!!! The crowd is NUKED as Kal gets driven down into the canvas on his neck, the cheers filling the arena and drowning everything out as Cody weakly pushes Kal over onto his back, flopping over him one more time. "ONE..." DAR IS UP! HE SEES THE PIN! "TWO..." SLIDES INTO THE RING! "...COUNTOOOOOOOOOOO THREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

The crowd's cheers seem to double in volume if that's even possible, Dar's hand outstretched just a few inches away from where Cody and Kal are, the Samoan staring blankly as Cody rolls off of Kal, closing his eyes and breathing heavily. Slowly, Dar lets his arm fall down to the mat, Roselyn standing up and almost giggling with happiness as she announces the winners.

Roselyn: "Here are your winners...THE GWA!!!"

The reign of terror is finally over, Sparco and Hated now getting up to their feet and quickly sliding into the ring, pulling Cody up and laughing happily as they hug him. Revision gets up a few moments later, flopping against the ring apron and looking inside the ring, seeming very upset. Sparco and Hated reach down to lift Cody up so that he can set on their shoulders, cheering along with the crowd while Cody tries to get his energy back, smiling widely anyway. Eventually, the three of them exit to the outside, high-fiving and hugging fans while Dar slowly sits up, sitting back and looking around the area in a daze, as if he doesn't even know what's happening. Kal has yet to get up from the final Galaxian Explosion, laying on his back, his breathing the only sign that he's even alive after it. Finally, they move back up the aisle in triumph, looking back at the Apostles scattered around the ring, surveying the remains of their shattered kingdom as the fans celebrate around them.

"You're still too soft kid." Twist says before proceeding to bring Ice to his back and cover him, 1...2...2.9...Ice kicks out! Smirking at this outcome along with the rejuvenated crowd, Twist follows up by flipping Ice onto his stomach and mounting his back to apply a Sleeper. Usually this move would be used later on in a match by the champ, but it's clear he has some purpose for it as the crowd tries to will Ice back into the fight. Getting out of such a strongly positioned hold isn't an easy task like chanting and clapping however, and Ice looks like he's just on the edge of consciousness as he manages to grab onto the near bottom rope. Looking slightly frustrated as well as reinvigorated, Steve grabs Ice by the hair and drags him to his feet. "Alright, it's time!" Exclaims the champ while he slaps Ice on the face a couple of times. "For the move everyone came to see!" Steve continues as he places Ice in a reverse standing head scissors, annoying the crowd greatly. Before Twist can complete this planned move Ice manages to slip away from him and immediately nails "The Aphotic Rose" in the back of the cranium with a kick prior to hitting a German Suplex Hold, 1...2...2.5...Steve kicks out! Both men get back to their feet rather quickly, but only Steve manages to walk into an Exploder! Right back up both are again although Steve is in a daze as Ice hooks him up for the CRYSTAL SMAS-NO! Steve smashes his head into Ice's to leave both men staggering around the ring momentarily. Snapping back to reality slightly faster than Ice allows Twist to back the challenger into the ropes and whip him across the ring. Rather than standing in Ice's path back, Steve chooses to lay down in order to make Ice leap over him. This works as planned and Steve jumps back to his feet afterwards where he plans to nail Ice this time. That part of the plan is the unsuccessful one as Ice hangs onto the ropes. "Look up!" The challenger tells Twist who is bent over in order to jump up onto his shoulders and fling him across the ring with a Hurricanrana! Steve pounds his fist on the canvas after getting to a knee, showing his anger at this as he then makes a T with his hands in order to signal a timeout.

To the outside of the ring Steve rolls where Saria awaits to comfort him as well as talk strategy with him. Ice doesn't look too pleased to see his advantage being thrown out the window due to Twist's antics. "Same old s**t, same old s**t!" Chants spread through Gambino as the crowd's response to this move but Steve doesn't even respond to them. Instead he keeps a lookout in the corner of his eye for Ice to do something. Whether it will work or not, Ice doesn't seem to care as he runs across the ring and jumps up onto the top rope to hit a SPRINGBOARD SHOOTING STAR PRE-NO! Twist jumps up onto the ring apron and pulls the top rope down, leaving Ice to plummet to the outside of the ring and slam hard into the barricade. "Only I do that move!" Twist shouts while pointing at himself. After getting back into the ring Steve asks London how much longer he has on his timeout as the ref smacks his forehead. "Someone should've done that to you a long time ago!" A fan in the audience shouts at London while the rest of the crowd laughs about it. "The Aphotic Rose" doesn't seem to care about this too much as he waits for Ice to get up before darting across the ring to hit a dive of his own. Despite being hurt, Ice gets up onto the ring apron as quickly as possible, knowing Twist won't be able to stop himself as he goes for his SPRINGBOARD SHOOTING STAR PRE-NO! ICE COUNTERS WITH A JUMPING RUNNING YAKUZA KICK!! Ice's foot meets the side of Steve's head right when he tries to get his balance on the top rope, sending him flying sideways back into the ring as Ice barely catches himself by using the ropes. The crowd comes alive for that move by pounding on the barricades to make as much noise as possible, but Ice knows it isn't over yet. Stumbling into the ring the challenger covers Steve in a quick hurry when he sees Twist is barely moving, 1...2...2.7...Steve kicks out. Looking a bit flustered by this, Ice gets back up to his feet and stomps on the ground, trying to get the crowd behind him as he pulls Steve up into a standing head scissors. Even after getting his head kicked in somewhat, Twist shows that it's still too early to attempt to finish him off as he pulls away from Ice and kicks downstairs with a blatant low blow.

At least Steve thinks that's what happened as he turns his back towards the challenger and walks away from him. In reality Ice manages to block the blow with his knee while selling it slightly to throw Twist off. When the "Pound for Pound King" whirls around in the center of the ring expecting to find an irate Peter London bitching at him he is met instead by an ICEBERG SPEAR! The crowd is on their feet as Ice covers right after, everyone hoping for a new champ, 1...Steve kicks out! Everyone including Ice wonders what the hell is going on as Twist gets back to his feet in a hurry. "You think a move like that could hurt me!?" Twist taunts the challenger as he pounds on his midsection as an invitation for Ice to kick him. Not wanting Steve to back out of this arrangement, Ice begins to kick so the champ is moved into the near corner while he tries to stay on his feet. One after another the kicks pile up before Steve finally places his hands up to call another timeout. All he gets in return for this is his hands kicked away as Ice goes back to slamming the already beaten up ribs of Twist with even more kicks. Finally, Twist falls down out of the corner to the canvas where Ice flips him over for a pin, 1...2...2.9...Twist kicks out! Not even bothering to look for the approval of the roaring hot crowd, Ice picks Steve up to his feet and hits him with the CRYSTAL SMASH! This move should do the trick as Ice covers Steve again, 1...2...2.9...Twist kicks out! Something has got to give eventually and everyone wonders when and what exactly that will be as Ice, who is all fired up, stands to his feet. Yelling something to the crowd which is inaudible with how loud they are, Ice manages to stand Steve up to his feet before going to the corner. When he turns around however, Ice is met with a JUMPING KNEE! This knocks the challenger back into the corner, but doesn't seem to faze him as he comes out and kicks the lviing hell out of Twist's chest! Down to one knee Twist drops as Ice then moves out onto the ring apron, everyone in attendance wondering what is going to happen next. Once Steve is back up to his feet Ice jumps up onto the top rope, the crowd roaring as he hits a DRAGONRANA-BUT TWIST COUNTERS WITH THE WORLD LINER!!! 1...2...2.999...Ice barely kicks out!

Everyone in attendance is shocked that Twist could hit such a counter at his weight, but the 360 Degree Powerbomb was in Steve's arsenal and he picked the perfect time to bust it out. Most didn't expect to see a Dragonrana out of Ice either, but luckily for Steve the World Liner is able to counter many types of 'ranas. The biggest thing in the end to come out of this isn't the move though, it's the change in momentum. Moments earlier Steve looked to be on his last legs, but the champ is back to his feet now and he has Ice in a reverse standing head scissors in the center of the ring. No introduction is given for what happens next, but everyone knows what it is already as Twist jumps up to smash Ice's face into the ground prior to completing the Skull BUSTAH! Jeers fill the building that was bursting with positive energy moments earlier while Twist drives Ice's face into the ground. "Pfft, I give you another classic title defense and all you can do is boo? ******** you cunts." Steve says prior to getting off Ice and rolling him over for a cover, 1...2...2.5...Ice kicks out. "The Aphotic Rose" stands back up after slapping Ice on the head, choosing to use this time to stretch out his midsection which has been brutalized throughout this contest. Ripping the challenger up by the hair Steve brings him to the ropes where he moves them both out onto the ring apron. "I'm going to have bruises all over thanks to you. To repay you..." Steve starts, only to be shut up by Ice smacking him in the face and almost knocking him off the ring apron. It's clear the "Silver Flame" hasn't given in yet as he then tries to hit Steve with the ARTIC FLA-NO! Twist grabs Ice's leg out of the air and throws it down as he then smacks Ice with several chops before placing him in a front facelock. Fighting out of this facelock is what Ice desires, yet for some reason he can't seem to do it as he is lifted into the air while kicking his legs desperately. "Not enough!" Twist yells as he then drops down to hit Ice with the FINISH BUSTER! Ice's skull is driven into the ring apron and Steve laughs maniacally about it as Saria helps him up to his feet. Rolling Ice into the ring not long after, Steve declares his victory as he pins the challenger, 1...2...2.9...Ice kicks out!

This time, a bit of frustration can be seen on the face of the champ as he sits up and ponds the mat hard before yelling at London again to "count faster." London shrugs this off as the crowd continues to cheer for Ice louder now then before. The noise is almost deafening as Steve Twist grabs Ice again and slaps him hard across the face which causes him to fall again. "C'mon, where's your fighting spirit now? Nowhere!" Twist yells down at Ice before kicking him hard in the ribs. Ice rolls over and cringes in pain as Twist continues to assault Ice. He kicks Ice hard again and again until he's had his fill and then kicks the challenger out of the ring under the bottom rope just to get rid of him. Twist then walks over to the opposite side of the ring and rolls out of it before consulting with Saria. Peter London isn’t quite sure what to do with one man out in pain and the other out to talk to his girl friend. Soon the Ice chants start back up and Twist turns to yells at the crowd saying "Do you mind? I'm trying to talk to my girl like regular people do, in sentences!" This doesn't do much however as the crowd just keeps chanting feeling that Ice may have a really good chance of taking the Grand Championship from Twist. To spite them Twist leans in to kiss Saria when suddenly the cheers get louder. Twist turns around to see that Ice has pulled him self up and rolled into the ring where he's trying to get to his feet. Twist mumbles something as he slides into the ring and as Ice is getting to his feet he knees him hard in the stomach doubling over the "Silver Flame." Ice coughs hard as the wind is knocked out of him. Steve smirks and takes a step back as Ice crumples to the mat again holding his gut. Twist thinks about just leaving him there but decides instead to grab him by his hair and drag him over to the corner before climbing it and setting up for a classic Moonsault. He sets it up and looks back to make sure Ice is still there before bending his knees and flying backward to NAIL IT!. Steve absorbs the shock pretty well and covers Ice looking to end the match with that one final move. 1...2...2.5...2.7....ICE KICKS OUT!

The crowd once again erupts into a mountain of cheers and support as once again the "Silver Flame" manages to kick out. Steve Twist gets up off of the challenger, waves of frustration rolling off of him. He sighs and kicks Ice hard in the back of the head. "If that's how you want it, fine." He yells before another stiff kick to the head of Ice. The crowd boos this hard but Twist just ignores them and kicks Ice hard again and again. Twist does this a half dozen more times before picking Ice back up and KILLING ICE WITH THE GTO! The crowd falls silent as Ice's head and neck are driven into the mat HARD. Steve Twist releases Ice and covers him but not with out giving a rather pleased look to the audience. 1...2...2.5...2.7...2.9...ICE KICKS OUT! Twist sits up off of Ice and says "What the FU-" He's cut off by the tremendous cheer of the crowd which picks up as soon as they realize that it's not over. Twist take a couple of deep breaths before standing up and lifting Ice with him. He then proceeds to KNEE HIS SKULL IN! After about the seventh big knee, Twist puts Ice into a standing head scissors and calling for the GANSO BOMB-NO! Ice lifts him self up and flips over Twist somehow landing on his feet. Ice stumbles a bit and then turns around in time to not only duck a right hand from Twist, but hook his arm and turn him around grabbing his head and nailing a swift DDT. Both men are on the mat now, Ice trying to catch his breath and maybe unscramble his brains, and Twist trying to catch his bearings after Ice's DDT. For once, it’s Ice's turn to get to his feet first standing on his own for the first time in a couple of minutes and holding his head before setting up and KICKING THE ******** OUT OF TWIST'S HEAD AS HE SITS UP!

Twist drops back to the mat and Ice backs into the corner and sits on the second turnbuckle trying to get a minute of rest. The crowd is going nuts now with chants of "NEW CHAMP!" and "KICK HIS ******** HEAD IN!" Ice takes a couple of more seconds to rest and then stands back up and grabs Twist up off of the ground knowing that after a minute break any hope of a three count is gone. He stands Twist up and goes to work delivering kick after kick to his midsection and thigh. After the LONGEST STRING OF KICKS EVER SEEN BY THIS SMALL CROWD, Ice finishes the barrage with a stiff kick to the neck and Twist falls back to the mat. Ice takes another second to catch his breath and then drops to the mat to cover Twist. 1...2...Twist kicks out. Ice isn't too surprised by this and gets up quick to plan his next move. He waits for Twist to get to his feet and then nails a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging it for a second then breaking it to pick him back up and nail a powerful German Suplex, rolling the hips and bringing Twist back up to nail a huge Tiger Suplex! This time he bridges it and holds hoping the shock of the three Suplexes is enough to put down the Champ. 1...2...Twist rolls his shoulder up. Ice rolls off of the Champ a bit flustered but not ready to quit. He nods to Peter London showing that he agrees with his three count and then lifts the Champ up before planting a couple of forearms to the face of the Champ and sending him running into the ropes. Twist hits the cables and comes back only for Ice to hit him square in the face with a textbook standing drop kick-TWIST SIDE STEPS IT! Ice hits the mat hard and holds his chest as Twist takes a small breather to admire his work. He doesn't allow Ice to rest too long however, and grabs the "Silver Flame" back to his feet only to GET THE HELL KICKED OUT OF HIM AGAIN by Ice who was playing a bit of possum and was waiting for Twist to grab him. Ice delivers kick after kick after kick after kick to the Champs chest putting serious hurt on the stunned Grand Champion who went from having the match back in his favor, to being a kicking bag for Ice.

Ice kicks him hard in the chest and then in the knee, and then in the chest again and then in the knee once more before delivering one final swift kick to the neck of Twist. Twist is out on his feet now and the crowd can feel that this is going to be it. Ice delivers one final kick to the gut of Twist and places him in a standing head scissors calling for the ZERO D-TWIST SPINS OUT OF IT AND LARIATS THE HELL OUT ICE! Ice is turned inside out by this move. Twist takes a moment again to catch his breath after almost being put away again by the challenger who has fought harder then anyone ever though possible. Twists stretches his arm and lifts the Challenger up only to set him up and SLAUGHTER HIM WITH HAWKEYE NECKBREAKER! Twist takes one final look down at the challenger and covers him on the mat confident that the match is over. 1...2...2.3...2.5....2.6...2.8....2.9...2.999...ICE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!!!!!! The ref sees Ice grab the rope at the last second and stops his three count signaling that the match is not over. Twist is furious and stands up yelling at the ref "******** you, that was three!" London shrugs and points to the challenger who is valiantly getting to his feet once more. Steve Twist decides to leave the Ref be for once and turns his attention to the "Silver Flame", waiting for him to fully stand up when he DESTROYS ICE WITH ONE FINAL LARA-ICE NAILS THE ARCTIC FLASH!!!!! Out of nowhere, the courageous Ice nailed the super kick out of instinct. But the super kick doesn't drop Twist; instead he stumbles back, rebounds off of the ropes slowly, and walks right into another BARRAGE OF KICKS FROM ICE! The crowd is on Cloud 9 now as Ice nails a series of hard hitting kicks again to the chest and legs of Twist not letting up after 30 seconds, a minute, a minute and a half, 2 minutes, he finally ends the pain with one more ARCTIC FLASH that again causes Twist to stumble backwards into the ropes and right back into Ice who bends down placing his head between the Steve’s thighs and then standing up, lifting Twist upside down setting up for none other then the Dai Guren Hyorinmaru Driver. The crowd is defining as Ice struggles to hold twist up and finish off the move. Just when he seems like he is about ready to drop Twist on his ******** head and take the championship, Twist starts kneeing the back of Ice's head again and again and again until he is able to shift his weight and land the KAZE NI NARE!!!!!!!!!!! The crowd suddenly falls silent as Twist covers Ice looking for the three. Peter London hesitantly hits the mat and counts, 1...2...2.5...2.9...2.99999...3!!!!!!!

Roselyn Peters: "And here is your winner and STILL GWA Grand Champion, Steve 'Savior' Twist..."

|Jeers reign supreme in Gambino as Steve stands to his feet laughing over taking Ice out once again. Before Saria gets into the ring, Twist tells her to grab some chairs from the outside and slide them in. Three chairs come into the ring, Steve grabbing only one after placing the GWA Grand Championship belt around his waist. Saria gets into the ring as well while Ice attempts to rise to his feet for the final time tonight. After handing the chair to Saria, Steve moves back slightly while taunting Ice to get to his feet. Once Ice has gotten to a sitting position, Saria places the chair in front of him as Twist nails a CHAIR BAKATARE SLIDING KICK!!! Even more jeering comes from the crowd now as Saria throws the chair out of the ring at them and goes for a microphone. Upon setting a chair up over the body of Ice and sitting in it, Twist takes the microphone from Saria and goes to address the crowd.|

"Tonight...you saw a hell of a match. I'll hand it to Ice...the kid has guts. So right now I want to hear a round of applause for my ex-challenger." Twist says before pausing for this. "Nothing, huh? Well you're right not to applaud because he doesn't deserve it. Losers, they don't deserve anything."

|This gets the crowd jeering, the reason for not cheering before obviously not being due to this type of thinking.|

"Jeer all you want, but you know it's true. So tonight, I'll show you all something special. The coming of a new era, which you expected to see anyway, but in a way you didn't expect. Now come to the ring my Apostles and bring our special guest!"

|Out from the back come Darson Grays, Killa Kal, and Revision along with the so-called "special guest", Brianna Rach. The crowd doesn't seem to know what is going on as Steve gets to his feet in the ring, sets up the other chair in front of him and awaits the arrival of his comrades. After the Apostles get in the ring Twist greets them all warmly, so much so that it doesn't even appear to the average person that Steve is considered a bad guy at all. Upon finishing these greetings Steve turns his attention to Brianna and tells her to sit as he does so himself.|

"I would have a table brought in here but as I'm sure you're aware of Brianna, your tables are cheap and flimsy. Everything about this company is cheap and flimsy, so tonight that all has to change. Now let's settle this agreement peacefully and I won't have to tell everyone here what you've been hiding from them for so long. Do you have the papers with you Brianna?"

|Nodding at Twist, Brianna pulls a clipboard out from under her arm that has some sort of contract attached. Everyone in attendance simply watches on, being interested in what will become of their favorite wrestling promotion. Looking through it for a few moments, Steve looks up at the other Apostles in order to judge if they've already read through the entire thing. Kal signals to him that it's all good as Steve then receives a pen from Saria.|

"Seems that everything is in order here Miss Rach so let me explain to everyone what exactly this entails. I also suppose there is no hiding the reason for this agreement anymore either, so I'll come right out and say it. GWAdroids, your most masturbated to wrestling promotion has been in serious debt for the past several months. Between having to pay for the Apostles salaries, something that most wrestling companies can't afford, along with bringing in wrestlers such as Jin Arishima, along with being sued by several fans due to traumatic experiences inflicted upon them at shows, along with...well I think you get the point already. Simply put, the GWA doesn't bring in enough money to cover their own asses because they've failed to expand in the area where they make the most money, DVD sales. Distribution of GWA DVDs has been slow and also doesn't reach enough parts of the globe to take full advantage of the talent we've amassed here. Only Asia and North America get official GWA DVDs, leaving bootlegging in Europe at an all-time high. Not to mention cracking down on internet users who abuse their sharing of said DVDs is something the GWA hasn't done because they don't want to alienate their fans."

"As you can see, that doesn't leave anything around here in good standing. I mean these people didn't even think to put simple disclaimers on the tickets that could have immediately stopped the lawsuits brought against them! Luckily for them someone has been trying to purchase the GWA for a better part of the year. I know that seems like it could bring about a lot of drastic changes, but be honest with yourselves here folks, it's time for change. Constantly throughout this year things have changed in the GWA and it's gotten better because of that. No more do we have to put up with the likes of The Unholy Meatpuppet, Roy Chambers, Dante Cabrell, and even Hated's role seems to be getting smaller and smaller. So who is it that's been trying to buy this company out for over half a year?"

"Well, that would be us."

|Outrage flares up amongst the crowd as Twist stands to his feet and takes the contract off the clipboard. The Apostles of Amaranthine in control of the GWA can only be one thing for everyone involved within it, bad.|

"So thank you Brianna Rach, for finally seeing the light of day. With our multi-million dollar backing the GWA will grow to more than just some scummy indy. It will truly be a wrestling paradise which we reign over. I mean look at what I alone have done for this company. I've given you enough matches of the year for the next decade at least and those will only be the beginning! Nothing will stand in my way now as along with my other big money colleagues the day will be seized at each and every show! No more pointless main events like Puppet/Kutterman, no more undercard guys being pushed into the spotlight, no more disappointing title defenses set up to try and strip this title from me, and no more of these crowds that try to get themselves over! That's right folks, no more will we sit in Gambino and rot away like so many other wrestlers. We've already bought a nice sized piece of land in Japan where our new arena is almost done being constructed. Holding up to 8,000 people the Kakihara Memorial Hall will be the greatest place for wrestling the world has ever seen!"

"Don't worry your little heads GWAdroids, you'll still be able to purchase DVDs. Hell we'll still probably wrestle here as long as we get some sound proof glass put up in front of you so we can't hear your retarded chanting. Aww who am I kidding, I couldn't wrestle without being able to taunt the piss out of you! Just know that from now on you'll be getting some plane tickets if you want to see our big shows. And I know you will because I'll be main eventing each and every one of them! No more semi-main event for me you hear!"

|The stunned crowd doesn't even seem to know how to respond to all of this. No one really does besides the Apostles who seem more cheerful than ever at finally accomplishing their goals. Dragging Ice out from under his chair Steve kneels down and places the paper on the back of the man everyone thought would be the new champion tonight.|

"From now on I will be the only thing to shine brightly around here, but know this Ice. Know that on your head I will place the right of being the first person to feel what it's like to be in my new GWA. Yes, the Grand Wrestling Apostle...that would be a fitting name for it...Simply put you should know that it's your responsibility for letting me escape with this title that enabled me to do this. Because in reality all I did was win a bet here tonight over whether you would be the new champion or not to close this deal out."

|With this Twist signs the contract on Ice's back before handing it over to Saria and standing to his feet.|

"Now allow me to introduce the crowd to the reunion of the Apostles of Amaranthine! I know I shouldn't act like we were never broken up, because that half an hour was the worst time I've ever had here in the GWA. We'll start with the man who dropped the fall tonight, but who I know will come back stronger than ever like he always does, Killa Kal! Then we have my man, the GWA Openweight Champion, Revision! And last but not least, the man who has had my back this entire time. Sure he didn't do as much as I did. And if it wasn't for me he would still be eating coconuts down in Samoa or whatever. Hell without me..."

|Steve is cut off by Darson grabbing the microphone out of his hand. Some of the crowd is excited to hear what Dar has to say about this speech by the champion, but it's already too late as others in the crowd begin throwing chairs in the ring!|

RIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

Twist & Saria PoV: Immediately Twist goes to grab the thing nearest to him in order to block the chairs the fans are throwing. Unfortunately for Brianna Rach, the nearest thing is her and she becomes the champion's shield as he protects himself and Saria. Chair after chair bounces off the face of the former owner of the GWA as the new owner waits out the storm while standing on Ice who is attempting to get up. Finally, as the other AoA members go into the crowd, the chairs start to cease although some fans come into the ring to get Twist. Upon throwing Brianna Rach at a couple of them, Twist then clears the way with a few right hands in order to allow Saria to dive to the outside and hit the AGGROCRAGPLEXDRIVER007 ON CHIPS AHOY SAMURAI!!! Being the only one left standing in the ring, Steve has to take care of any fans that manage to make it in and go after him. A JUMPING KNEE takes care of one man as Twist then slams another on the back of the neck with a chop as he lands on his feet. A Spinning Backfist from the GWA Grand Champion easily lays a woman out as more fans pour into the ring, possibly more than Steve can handle. Luckily fighting the odds is Steve's specialty so it's chops for everyone as a few people manage to grab onto his legs while others attempt to take him down. Upon freeing his legs Twist finds himself stuck in a corner surrounded. Gouging the eyes of the person closest to him, Twist then nails a man in the groin with a kick and hits the DEMPSEY SMASH TO A FAN'S THROAT!!! The person falls on the ground in pain as Steve laughs at him, but that allows Twist to be caught off guard by a man jumping down onto him from the turnbuckle. Throwing the man off while they're both on the ground, Twist then stands back up and knees the man in the face, probably breaking his nose. With a relentless and wild crowd Steve sees this could go on for a while...

Revision PoV: Finding the clearest path, Revision runs towards the ropes. Right before he makes it to them Revision turns 180 degrees to hit the FREHLEY'S COMET WITH A DELAYED FLIP OVER THE CROWD!!!! CRAZYMADDANGEROUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSS!!!! After getting to his feet, the Openweight Champion quickly looks for higher ground as the fat slobs of the GWA crowd attempt to circle him. Running up the bleachers on the east side of the gymnasium, Revision kicks away hands of those who would try to keep him grounded. At the top of the bleachers Revision meets a man who tries to come down at him, but doesn't get far as he is nailed with a SHOTEI by the champ! Another fan, who is simply a woman trying to get out of the way, gets a Superkick from the "Rock Icon" as he finally takes the top of the bleachers. Not as many fans are going after Revision as the other Apostles, probably due to the fact that climbing is exercise, but one foolish fan finds himself being slammed face first into the wall before falling victim to a Standing Spiral Tap. Another fan trips over this one and falls on top of him where he is hit with a Standing Sky Twister Press, learning first hand that Revision does TOO MANY FLIPS! Surveying the carnage, Revision hopes to find some security to help get order back while he stays perched atop the bleachers...

Kal PoV: Killa could no longer hold in the his black man rage, especially since some of these fans were aiming their chairs for his head. Since Lana was in the back and the fans had become so rapid that they were rushing the ring, Killa quickly exited the ring, running into the large crowd of pissed of GWA fans. Grabbing one of the chairs, he just begins to tear into some of the fans around him, knocking one fat guy down in particular, smashing the chair into his blob of a body repeatedly until the chair itelf is engulfed by the man's fat. Some more fans try to rush Kal, but he merely laughs as he fends them off like a knight fighting off a dragon, but naturally with EuroCuts. Handing out many of these EuroCuts, Kal easily takes these fans down. Bodies flying everywhere from the sheer power of Kal's arm, he continues the beating, picking up one of the unconscious fans by the legs and using them as a bat basically. He swings around in a tornado motion, knocking away any and all trying to get near him or Twist. Finally, he releases the fan, his body smashing into a large group of drunken fans, knocking them all down like a bowling pins. Some lucky guy tries his chances at hurling a beer at Kal, which he instinctively dodges, darting towards that guy and pratically taking his head off with a LARIATOOOOO!! Kal picks up a nearby beer, chugging it down while his foot rests on the KO'd fan's head. He pours the rest out on top of his possibly dead body. One fan from behind gets a cheap shot in, jumping on Kal's back, climbing the "Hollywood Highlight" like a mountain. Kal flips the idiot over, finding out that it was a woman, but that doesn't stop him from picking her up and killing her dead with the KHIDORI!!!!!!!! After seeing the girls body slump to the side mainly because she's probably paralyzed, many of the fans that once surrounded Kal begin to drift towards a different Apostle, but Kal eagerly chases towards them...

Dar's PoV: Dar drops the microphone as the chairs begin to fly, looking angry at not being able to say his piece and glaring over at Twist until a chair gets him right in the side of the head. The Samoan slowly turns out to face the side of the ring area where the chair came from, the look in his eyes immediately stopping the wave of chairs from that side, one chair being thrown at the last second, but only hitting the ropes. After a few moments, though, the fans get a wave of confidence back, several climbing over the barriers. Dar isn't about to let this go, however, grabbing Ice and throwing him out of the way rather than use him as a shield, obviously wanting some of these fans. As they enter the ring, Dar is already running over to stomp on the back of their head, turning and throwing an elbow into one's face, only to have his arms pulled back by a rather large crowd member. Of course, "rather large" is practically average compared to a man like Dar, and he soon finds himself flying forward to land in two other crowd members as Dar bucks him off. Dar barely knocks another rabid fan down with a punch before another is attempting to grab him from behind. This one doesn't get as far as the last, though, as Dar quickly spins around and knocks him down with a ROARING ELBOW! The Samoan quickly turns again, grabbing two fans and picking them up for a DOUBLE NODOWA OTOSHI OVER THE ROPES!!! With a space finally cleared around him, Dar quickly exits the ring, getting himself into a better area as he batters back the fans with elbows and the occasional headbutt. Eventually, it gets to the point where Dar just starts throwing fans into the guard rail, moving around the ring and grabbing the timekeeper's table, THROWING IT UP AND ONTO A GROUP OF FANS!!! But the surging mass of fans has grown even larger now, the anger and energy of the situation giving even more cowardly crowd members the courage to try and get in on this RIOT. Dar doesn't seem like he's ready to back down, though, yelling out in rage as he throws another crowd member right over the barrier...

|While mayhem continues to run amok in Gambino the chaos won't stop even after all this fighting between the Apostles and the fans is said and done. For now the rights to the GWA are in the hands of those who wish to destroy everything that the wrestlers in this company have built and turn it into a different existence altogether. The Final Countdown for the old era has come to an end as a new era starts it's beginning here in the Gambino Wrestling Alliance...|
