KillZone: Working Layout Deal

With a capacity crowd at the BankUnited Center, Derek Silver will be sure to exploit his Asylum as much as possible. Next week at KillZONE Five, Six People step into the most hideous creation the wrestling world has seen this decade. But who are these individuals? The only announced entrant at the moment is Evan Jackson, the other five will be foretold..



From.. Hell he came?
Starring: Xing Xang

Xiang, dressed in his black and purple boxing gown hummed “Spaceman” as he strolled down the hallway, his facial expression projecting the fact that he was ecstatic! His American debut was to be in the building he now so excitedly explored. The man he would face was Satan…Or whatever.

Xiang: Prince of nothingness

Xiang muttered to himself with a great deal of amusement. However, things were about to get spooky for the self proclaimed brat.

The little hairs on Xiang’s neck rose as he slammed on the breaks. There, blocking the bland halls of The Bank United Center was the huge frame of Xantippe. His demeanor or intentions concealed by his mysterious expression.

There was a long and awkward silence lingering around the pair as one stood frozen and the other stood strong. Xiang could feel a lump start to build in his throat as Xantippe made the first move. His hulking arm raised towards Xiang with index finger outstretched pointing at the Glamorous Gypsy.

Xiang: That’s hilarious…It really is but you’re next big man.

Xiang promised, his gaze piercing Xantippe straight through. He had already been to hell and some big idiot who had a talent for unnerving people was not about to intimidate his superior being. Xiang closed his eyes to center himself, he wasn’t about to submit to mind games.

Nothing…

The hallway was empty when he opened his eyes. Xiang felt a slight chill run down his spine as he walked ever so quickly to the locker room.



A Purposeful Entry
Starring: Dominique, Damien Cruz

With crutches echoing against the rough concrete floor of the BankUnited center, Damien Cruz made his way into the building. Though he couldn't hear them, 5,000 fans exploded watching him make his entrance on the FuseWire, every single one happy to see the Latin Assasin make his return. He turns his head around looking for someone, spotting Dominique, FW's premier backstage source.

Damien Cruz: Hey Dom, have you seen Duke Williams around?

Dominique: Nope. I was trying to get an interview too, about his pick for the Asylum tonight and all.

Damien Cruz: I suppose that makes two of us.

Before she can respond, he continues down the hall.

The Opener
Starring: Xing Xiang, Xantippe

HJ: It’s odd, last week Xantippe was main evening, and this week he’s facing an obscure Asian fellow in the opening match-up.

SA: Odd indeed. Moving on, here comes the challenger.

SKYE: Ladies and gentlemen introducing first, weighing in at one hundred and seventy seven pounds, he hails from Brooklyn, New York – Xin Xiang!

The crowd, unfamiliar with this debuting superstar do not give much of a reaction as “Spaceman” by Babylon Zoo began to play through the arenas loud speaker system.

SA: Very quiet for the debuting stars entrance, nothing unusual there though.

HJ: I don’t expect Xantippe will get a very positive one anyway. Perhaps a quiet entrance is a good sign.

The skinny frame of Xin Xiang stepped from behind the curtain; he slowly made his way to the ring looking around at the fans as he continued down the ramp towards the ring. Before reaching the ringside area his music cut out, the lights in the arena went out, the headsets of the commentators cut out. Cell phones switched off, lighters stopped working, watches stopped ticking.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

BOOM!!!

Flames burst in to the air from the top of the ramp, three at each side of the curtain. Xin Xiang looked back up the ramp as the flames gave the arena a slither of light. He was less than impressed. The flames fell to a less ferocious lick. Silence filled the arena, not even theme music played now. Xin started to walk back up the ramp slowly and with great caution. Reaching the midway point a flicker of darkness shrouded his body for a moment, even the flames being unable to reach in to that piece of blackness.

The flames died out and a few seconds passed. As lighting Is restored Xantippe is stood in the centre of the ring, Xin Xiang raised above his head, the strong red hands of Xantippe wrapped around the neck of Xin, holding him in front of him above his head.

SA: --od! I don’t know if you can hear this, but Xantippe came out of nowhere, and now… Xin has a bloodied nose and is in the claws of the Livewire champion!

HJ: This match hasn’t even started yet! My God!

Xantippe dropped his opponent to the ground. Xin landed on his feet looking rather weak. He lunged towards Xantippe with a hard right fist, Xantippe raised his arm and blocked the shot without much strain, using his other hand to push Xin Xiang in the chest. Xin bounced off the ropes and held his chest in pain. Returning to the same position that he had started, Xin kicked his leg out, delivering a front kick to the shin of Xantippe. Xantippe crumbled down to one knee, giving Xin the opportunity to bounce back against the ropes, plant his foot on the knee of Xantippe and cross over Xantippe’s body hitting him with a knee to the face.

SA: My word! That came out of nowhere!

Xantippe stumbled backwards. Unrelenting, Xin closed in on his opponent, fists raised. Xin began pummelling his opponent with hard straight jabs to the face. Xantippe took the shots but remained standing. Xantippe took a few more steps back and found himself pinned in the corner. Xin hopped on to the middle rope, his legs planted at each side of Xantippe. Xin hooked the head of Xantippe and leant on him, turning to sit on the top turnbuckle, Xantippe now facing towards the outside of the ring. Xin raised his arm in the air before diving from the turnbuckle and spinning around

HJ: TORNADO DDT!

SA: No! No!

Xantippe remained standing, taking the weight of Xin Xiang. Xantippe continued to spin for a few extra degrees and, as if Xin were a hammer in the Olympic event of the same name, Xantippe hurled Xin over the top rope and out of the ring. Xin’s body slapped against the thin mats on the outside of the ring, his body sliding for a few feet before resting motionless. Xin groaned in pain and eventually fell on to his back, staring at the bright lights of the arena ceiling.

SA: Xantippe just tossed Xin Xiang to the outside like he was a rag doll!

HJ: I agree with the front row.

CROWD: Holy Shit! Holy Shit!

Xantippe, not satisfied with the punishment already inflicted on his debuting opponent, stepped over the top rope and dropped to the outside, his cape flapping in the breeze.

SA: What now?

A grin crossed Xantippe’s fanged mouth for a moment as he looked down at the groaning Xin Xiang. Xantippe looked across at the timekeepers table and marched across towards the small table in the back corner of the ringside area. Tossing the small timekeeper to one side Xantippe picked up the ring bell. Turning to face his opponent he began to stalk a recovering Xin Xiang.

The referee scrambled out of the ring and took the bell from Xantippe.

SA: Xantippe could be in some trouble here.

HJ: Wait… No…

Xantippe looked deep in to the eyes of the official for a few moments, his fiery red eyes boring a hole in to the mind of the official. The official handed the bell back to his master and stood to one side.

SA: What the hell?!

HJ: I think that’s the problem.

Xin got back to his feet.

SA: No, please!

Turning around the fresh face of FUSE found himself staring down a metaphorical gun barrel. The bell rang as it connected with the skull of Xin. Xin crumpled down to the ground and Xantippe tossed the bell to the ground, letting it ring once more.

Xantippe looked down at the barely conscious Xin Xiang, blood trickling from his forehead. Xantippe dropped to his knees and held the face of his opponent. He took a moment to himself before collapsing across Xin’s face, sucking the blood from his head.

HJ: Oh, that’s…

SA: Jesus…

Xantippe raised his head once more, a smudge of blood complementing the crimson skin of his face. A second later and Xin was rolled back in to the ring, Xantippe rolled under the bottom rope and entered the ring along with his opponent.

Xantippe helped Xin to his feet and pushed him against the ropes before Irish Whipping him across the ring. As Xin came running back towards Xantippe, Xantippe raised his boot in to the air. Xin dropped to his backside and delivered a baseball slide to the left knee of Xantippe, sending him crashing to the ground. The audience cheered.

Xin took this opportunity to rest his tired body and catch a few breaths of air. Xantippe rolled around hissing as he grasped as his knee. Slowly both men got to their feet, Xantippe was up first and grabbed Xin from behind, holding him under both armpits. Xin pushed away and quickly span around, jumping in to the air and kicking Xantippe in the side of the head with a spinning kick.

SA: What a shot! Did you hear the leather of the boot making contact with Xantippe’s face?

As Xantippe stumbled backwards Xin chased down his opponent, sweeping forwards and kicking Xantippe in the stomach. Xantippe arched over holding his stomach giving Xin the time to bounce off the ropes to his right and lunge towards the Livewire Champion, driving a knee in to the side of his head. Xantippe stood up, avoiding the knee shot, instead grabbing Xin by the throat.

Xantippe dragged Xin in to the centre of the ring and looked out at the audience. A few cameras snapped, the chorus of boos filled his sharp ears as he licked his blood-moist lips. Xantippe raised Xin in to the air. Xin kicked upwards with his legs, giving himself extra leverage. Flicking his left leg over the head of Xantippe, Xin grabbed the arm with both hands and rolled Xantippe down to the mat in an arm bar.

Xantippe writhed in pain. Dead in the centre of the ring things were looking bad for the undefeated champion of FUSE.

HJ: This is it, Xantippe is about to tap.

Xantippe’s free arm rises up from the mat for a second, almost ready to submit. As Xantippe lay on the mat he closed his eyes, his lips moving without sound. A few moments of stillness passed before the red eyes of the Livewire Champion opened wide. Slowly Xantippe pulled himself to his feet. Xin held on to the arm of Xantippe tightly, preventing Xantippe from standing completely. Eventually Xantippe got to both feet, one arm still trapped by his opponent. Xantippe reached over and grabbed the side of Xin’s tights; pulling with all his might he pulled Xin in to the air. Xantippe turned and fell, dropping Xin down to the mat. Xin relinquished his grip on Xantippe’s arm. Xin held the back of his head and rolled on to his side. Xantippe lay on the mat for a few seconds catching his breath before helping himself to his feet with the aid of the ring ropes. Xin was up to his knees by this time, still holding the back of his head.

Xantippe headed over to Xin and grabbed him by the waistband of his tights, hoisting him up before grabbing him around the neck and transferring the other hand to the inner thigh. Xantippe bench pressed Xin up above his head and held him there for a few seconds whilst walking to the centre of the ring, looking out across the audience once more. Xantippe gave a smile.

HJ: Oh my, what an amazing counter!

Xin slipped from the palms of his opponent, falling behind him. On his way to the ground Xin wrapped his arm around Xantippe’s face, delivering a reverse fallaway DDT. Xin rolled to his feet quickly and ran against the ropes. Xin dropped in to a leg drop before covering.

One…

Two…

Xantippe pressed Xin up in to the air. Xin landed on his feet and quickly dropped in to an elbow drop. Xantippe rolled out of the way and got to his feet. Xin was quick to his feet as well. Xantippe hammered Xin once at the top of his head, dazing him for a moment. Xantippe stared in to the eyes of his opponent who became hypnotised. Xin fell to his knees and rolled over on to his back.

SA: What the--?

Xantippe covered Xin Xiang

One…

Two…

Snap out of it!

Xin rolled his shoulder up from the mat. After the count was broken Xin hooked Xantippe’s head and rolled him up in to a small package.

One…

Two…

Xantippe kicked his legs outward with authority, breaking the pin fall. Xin jumped to his feet and waited for Xantippe to follow suit. He approached Xantippe from behind and kicked the back of his knee. Xantippe dropped to one knee, low enough for the shorter Xin to lock in an inverted face lock. Xin dragged Xantippe in to a dragon sleeper and began to pound at the chest of Xantippe for a few moments before dropping in to a reverse DDT.

HJ: Vampire Stake! It’s over!

SA: The unbeaten Xantippe is finished!

Xin sprawled across Xantippe, hooking a leg.

One…

HJ: YES!

Two…

SA: YESSS!!!

Three!

The audience roared as Xin rolled off of his defeated opponent. Xin’s arm was raised in victory.

Winner: Xin Xiang



AJ awakens
Starring: Andre Jenson

The hospital room is quiet. Andre Jenson lies on the bed surrounded by hospital monitors and other hospital paraphernalia. His friend, Elvis Presley sits on the chair next to the bed, looking at AJ covered head to toe in bandages. A Doctor knocks on the door, his name tag shows him as Dr Himashi.

DrH: Can I speak with you for a moment?

Elvis follows the doctor out and into the corridor. The doctor turns to him and gives him an awkward grin.

DrH: Well, your friend will make a full physical recovery from his trauma, a couple of bruises and some concussion. There is nothing really serious. He is made of strong stuff, anyone else taking that beating you wouldn’t see them again.

Elvis: Yeah he has always-s been strong innit. So you are say-ing he is free to go soon?

DrH: Not quite. We want to keep him here for psychiatric testing first.

Elvis: Why?

The doctor looks uncomfortable thinking of how to say what he wishes to say.

DrH: Well, we don’t really know the exact nature of his problem.

Elvis looks furious

Elvis: What do you mean you don’t know? What sort of hotel is this? Are you a real doctor?

DrH: its not that simple really, and yes I am a real doctor. I have a certificate to prove it.

The doctor pulls out a piece of paper, he and Elvis look at it. Elvis seems very impressed, the doctor is pointing to the paper and grinning and there is a calm reverence as Elvis nods in agreement.

Elvis: So, ok, you are a doctor. Why the tests again?

DrH: We have a theory, we think the blow to the head created either a schizophrenic reaction thanks to bruising in his brain, possibly something that has always been there. Either that or he has grandiose delusional disorder, which is a bit less serious, but slightly more……….. permanent. Elvis looks at the Doctor with a perplexed look on his face.

Elvis: What? Speak English, speak Welsh, speak anything as long as I understand it.

DrH: To put it another way, he is having psychological delusions.

Elvis shrugs and shakes his head

DrH: He cant distinguish the difference between life and fantasy?

Again Elvis shakes his head, completely lost.

DrH: Having hallucinations?

Elvis has no idea what he is saying and still looks around lost.

DrH: Seeing things?

Yet again, Elvis shakes his head. The doctor sighs and beckons Elvis to follow him into a side room, equipped with a TV and video recorder. He flicks through the stacked tapes until he finds the one he wants. Then he puts it in the recorder. The image on the screen shows AJ sitting up in bed, awake and talking to the camera while a doctor off screen asks questions to him. Dr Himashi looks to Elvis.

DrH: When AJ woke up he exhibited some strange behaviour. We did initially think it would be normal considering the company he keeps. Nothing prepared us really for what he is like though. By the way it is standard for us to tape all of our patients, just in case you erm thought it was a bit weird. On the tape, the Doctor interviewing AJ speaks.

Int: How are you feeling?

AJ: I feel as good as when the Trolls of Niandic were taken away by the woodland elces of Sherbrook in the last realm of the 4th age of Ndar the Terrifying.

Int: Who is Ndar?

AJ: Ndar is the terrifying? Everyone knows him! The wicked sorcerer who enslaved the dwarfs and created the caraling! He has massive energy, and no one. Not even the wise owl Boloko can touch him for HP, especially if he is in the Tower of Grincold.

Doctor Himashi pauses at this and looks at Elvis.

DrH: Does this seem normal to you?

Elvis is in shock

Elvis: I don’t believe it. How did this happen?

Doctor Himashi looks uneasily at Elvis and begins to mumble an explaination

DrH: Well, sometimes they take on the traits of whatever they came in contact with first when they wake up and it was………well……. It was Lord of the Rings night. He must have gotten the fantasy world from there.

There is a commotion coming from the vicinity of the room AJ is situated in. a nurse runs out of it screaming and shouting. Quickly followed by another nurse and a doctor. Elvis runs out of the small room, across the corridor and into AJ’s private ward. In there, AJ is busy throwing everything in the room around shouting and swearing. Raging at a heart monitor and calling it a dragon. Doctor Himashi looks at Elvis as he ducks a defibrillator

DrH: Yeah I didn’t get the chance to tell you, he also gets episodes of rage like this.

They duck again

Elvis: What do we do?

Just as he was saying that an army of doctors came marching through the door and held a stand off with AJ as he stood there breathing heavily and looking at them all with rage. He looks at Elvis and begins to calm down a little. This allows the doctors to create a semi circle around him and manage to sedate him.

The camera fades while AJ is beginning to fade murmuring about Goblins. Elvis looks at the doctor with a look of outright fear and bewilderment.

FUSE Rules
Starring: The Preacher, Jorge Samuelsson

“Superbeast” by Rob Zombie plays, and the FUSE crowd knows who to expect. There is a rain of cheers as “The Preacher” Jay Draven enters the arena, and begins to stalk down the runway. He slides casually under the ropes, and stands on the second turnbuckle, pumping his fists and waiting for his opponent to enter. And enter he does.

Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” erases Draven’s music as Jorge Samuelsson steps through the curtains. The giant Norwegian avoids the outstretched hands that try to get a feel of him as he walks down the ramp. He then walks to the steps, takes two at a time, then steps over the top rope. He looks across the ring at his opponent, and the tension builds almost unbearably. Then the bell rings, releasing it.

SA: He’s a big fella, ain’t he?

HJ: And mean as a junkyard dog, I bet.

The two men circle, with Draven giving up a clear size advantage. Despite being quite large, The Preacher is almost dwarfed by his opponent. The two men then lock up, and Samuelsson easily lifts Draven up into an early double hand toss. The Preacher is sent tumbling to the other side of the ring, coming to a stop near the far corner. Samuelsson shakes out the stiffness in his shoulders, and begins to pursue Draven.

The Preacher gets to his feet, and as Samuelsson closes in, he sends a hard kick to the man’s knee, buckling it. He then unloads a hard right cross to his temple, and Jorge staggers backward. The Preacher quickly follows with a cross body, but Samuelsson recovers, and reverses the attack into a spinning powerslam that rattles the ring. The entire arena hears the impact, and The Preacher’s momentum is halted. Samuelsson gets up, and lifts Draven to his feet, and then into a high military press. The Preacher is dangled high above the ring, and then sent to the center of the canvas. Samuelsson seems satisfied with his work, and squats with his back to the turnbuckle, waiting for The Preacher to get to his feet.

HJ: Look at his eyes. He’s a beast.

SA: Don’t go painting Draven as the underdog. This isn’t David versus Goliath.

HJ: Well, at least David had a slingshot.

The Preacher recovers from his flight, and gets to his feet. No sooner does he straighten into a full stand before a 400 pound monster lunges at him, practically cutting him in half with a torpedo-like spear. Then Samuelsson unloads a series of hard right fists to his head before Draven can get his arms up, and deflect the blows. The Preacher is swarmed with blows, but is able to roll, and away from Jorge’s hammer blow punches.

The Preacher pulls himself up on the ropes, and Samuelsson gets to his feet. The Preacher is hardly to his feet before Samuelson charges with a high boot. The Preacher ducks, and Samuelsson’s massive leg goes over the top rope. His right leg is draped over the rope at the knee. Seeing an opportunity, The Preacher punches Samuelsson in the jaw, then pulls the draped leg through the middle rope, weaving it and trapping it. AS Samuelsson attempts to untangle it, The Preacher explodes with a hard right roundhouse to the man’s left knee, knocking him down. With his right leg trapped, Samuelsson is tied up, and left to The Preacher’s mercy. Jay Draven steps out onto the apron, and begins to tug the rope upward, increasing the pressure on the trapped knee. The referee does his best to untie him, but Draven works quickly. He walks to the turnbuckle, and steps up to the top. He leaps, and lands with a guillotine leg drop. It is either the impact or the ref, but Samuelsson’s leg drops free, but not in time to prevent the massive assault.

HJ: That just shifted this match in a whole new direction.

SA: I think you may be right.

The Preacher grabs Samuelsson’s leg, and drags the man to the center of the ring before making the cover. The referee doesn’t get to one before Jorge gets his shoulder off the mat. Draven is frustrated, but not surprised. He gets up, and pulls his opponent to his feet. With a burst of power, Draven sends his opponent to the ropes with an Irish Whip and followed with a solid rising clothesline.

Draven smiled, then walked to where Samuelsson was getting to his feet. Draven slammed his elbow into the man's head, and a small wound opened up on his eyebrow. Draven drew first blood, and was satisfied. Lifting Samuelsson up, he pulled the man into a hard DDT. A spot of blood stained the spot where his head was driven to the canvas. The Preacher, once again, was satisfied.

HJ: I think we are seeing a side to The Preacher that Samuelsson underestimated.

SA: It looks like he’s going to be sorry he didn’t anticipate it better.

Draven wasted no time, and lifted his opponent to his feet. Damien was groggy, and could not fight back as Draven sent him into the turnbuckle hard. His back slammed into the padding, and the man stumbled forward. Draven stepped forward, but was met with a fist to the bridge of his nose that rocked him. He fell backwards, clutching his face. Samuelsson left nothing to chance, and lifted Draven to his feet before the man could calculate a defense. Jorge Samuelsson drove a fist into Draven’s temple, and The Preacher fell backwards, catching himself on the rope. With a hard forearm, the Norwegian beast smashed into Draven, sending him over the rope and to the outside. The man fell like a broken toy.

SA: So much for the upset.

HJ: There’s a lot more match to go.

Samuelsson stepped out onto the outside, and dodged the weak punch that was thrown at him. He countered with a knee to the gut, followed by a devastating side suplex. With a large, wide smile, Samuelsson carried The Preacher to his feet, and sent him into the edge of the apron hard. Damien's shoulders slammed into the unyielding wood, and Samuelsson charged with a high boot. Once again, Draven was able to avoid the kick, and he caught the man's leg, and pulled him into a clutch suplex, slamming the man's back into the same ring edge that he had been driven into. Draven was floored. The Preacher met Samuelsson as the man got to his feet. Draven grabbed his opponent by the head, but Samuelsson twisted the man's arm into an arm lock. He then drove a foot into Draven's gut, and pulled the man into a revengeful DDT. The momentum, like it had before, changed hands. Samuelsson slid the man into the ring, and a groggy Draven got to his feet. Samuelsson, eager to end this, dove at him, and slammed him to the ground with another savage spear. Rising to his feet, Samuelsson's eyes were set on his opponent. As Draven stumbled to his feet, Samuelsson sent him to the ropes. As the man returned, Samuelson dropped a hard kick to the man's gut, doubling him over.

Jorge Samuelsson lifted the man into a jackknife suplex lift, but then dropped, pulling the man into a spike piledriver.

The fans exploded..

But he didn't complete the Ragnarok.

SA: WOW!

HJ: The Preacher nearly got slammed there.

In anger, Samuelsson leaves the ring, grabbing a steel chair. He slides back in as the ref tries to convince him to top. The Preacher takes his chance and kicks him in the stomach, hitting a Piledriver onto the fallen chair. The ref calls for the bell.

Winner: No CONTEST



The Monkeymaker
Starring: Derek Silver, The Preacher

The Preacher is in back at the Trainer’s area. He’s laying on a table with bags of ice taped to his knees and right elbow. Entering the area is Derek Silver.

Silver: You look like you just went through war.

The Preacher looks over.

Preacher: Hhmph.

Silver: That’s the attitude that’s going to keep you from the major matches. But that’s not why I’m here. I’m here to talk to you about your financial future here in FUSE. Preacher sits up and stares right through Silver.

Silver: As a matter of fact, Jason, we aren’t making any money on you.

Preacher: That’s not my problem.

Silver: Actually, there is a problem. When all the other wrestlers joined FUSE, they signed over licensing rights over the name and likeness. That way, while we pay you handsomely, we make a good portion of our money back.

Preacher: Again, I don’t care.

Silver: Well, Jason, we do care. You see, we don’t have that licensing agreement with you. In fact, we pay more in royalties to you per unit sold than any other wrestler on this roster. And you know why? Because Cheryl Madison didn’t make sure that the name “The Preacher” was licensed properly through FUSE. When we went to rectify that problem, we found that you owned the copyright to the name and likeness.

Preacher: Sounds like a good thing for me.

Silver: But it’s not a good thing for us. Because when the day ends, the Preacher doesn’t make us any money. Jason Ryan doesn’t make us any money. To top that off, your use of Superbeast costs us more that just about any other piece of music in FUSE.

Preacher: Like I said before, that’s not my problem.

Silver: Well, then. Maybe I will make it your problem. After tonight, you aren’t going to be the Preacher anymore, and you aren’t going to be coming down to the ring to Superbeast either. Got it?

Preacher: I’d like to see you try and enforce that.

Silver: Jason, you fail to see the big picture. So from this point on, when you are performing your contractual duties in FUSE, you are going to do it under the FUSE owned and copyrighted name of JD Cross. We will have proper music and attire ready for you next week.

Preacher: You’re kidding, right?

Silver: No, I’m not. In fact, not only are you going to wrestle as JD Cross, but next week, you’re going to have your first match with your new name. When, you take on five other wrestlers, in the FUSE vs GCW Asylum match, for the FUSE Universal Championship.

Preacher: I’ll wrestle that match, but I’m going to come down as the Preacher, and my music is going to be Superbeast.

Silver: You do that, and you will be automatically disqualified from the match. In fact, if you don’t wear the new outfit that we provide for you as JD Cross, you are going to be heavily fined and suspended until the Hell Freezes over and the Detroit Lions win the Superbowl. Now, do you understand the predicament that you are in?

JDC: Yeah. Just remember this then. When I win that match, I’m going to come back to your office and shove the belt down your fucking throat.

Silver: See, again the attitude. Now that you said that, I’m inclined to put you into the Asylum match as, number one. Meaning that to even have a chance to win that belt, you are going to have to wrestle the whole match. Have fun.

JDC: Kiss my ass.

Silver: See you next week, JD.

Singles Match - Debut
Starring: Jake Jennings, Runamok

"All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" starts to blast into the BankUnited Center as the fans get to their feet and start to cheer the arrival of Duke Williams friend and newest FUSE-W wrestler Jake Jennings. A moment later Jake walks out from the curtians and the fans continue to cheer but their is a look of surprise on their faces as well as the faces of Scott and Hunter.

SA: He is still in his street clothes.

HJ: You call boots, a pair of faded jeans, and a T-Shirt that says "I Love Honkey Tonk Bars" are street clothes?

SA: I suppose they are in Austin, Texas.

HJ: Figures. Nothing but steers and...

SA: Just shut up.

Jennings makes his way down to the ring with a smile and slaps the hands of some of the fans at ringside. At the ring he slides under the ropes and walks over to the other side of the ring and asks for a mic.

SA: Oh great. Some southern dialogue for us all to fall asleep to.

Jake: Now before we get this little shin dig started tonight I simply wanted to come out here and wish you good luck and may the best "man" win.

The crowd laughs as Jake put the emphasis on man while looking at the very small, almost junior high in size, Mexican wrestler. Runamok doesn't appear to find it nearly as funny and reaches up and slaps Jake in the face. One of the ultimate forms of disrespect.

HJ *Laughing*: That is what you get when you come in here and make fun of a mans stature.

SA: Some how Hunter I don't think he was really making fun of him. It was a light hearted joke. I think it's pretty clear, at least to the fans and I, that Jake was just trying to have a good time with him and lighten the mood a bit. Runamok apparently doesn't have a sense of humor.

HJ: I'd expect more sensitivety in this area from you Scott. Given that you come up "short" in areas as well.

In the ring Jake slowly turns his head back toward the little Mexican man who slapped him and just stares a hole in him until the bell sounds.

DING! DING! DING!

The moment the bell hits Runamok comes charging at Jake looking to use his speed to bring the big Texan down. Unfortunately for him the moment he got within range Jake simply stuck his hand out and pushed the Mexican all the way back across the ring with a hard shove. A pie facing if you will. Once again the crowd laughs and begins to cheer for Jake.

HJ: I think it's pretty clear that Jake is being disrespectful of Mr. Silvers choice of opponents for him. You might think this is all fun and games Scott but the man didn't even come out here in regulation wrestling attire. He is in beer hall attire for Christ sakes!

SA: You could be right Hunter. This could be a sign that Jake doesn't think that Silver is taking him serious enough.

In the ring the little Mexican man jumps to his feet and bounces off the ropes and comes flying back only to be taken down hard to the mat with a thunderous clothesline that nearly takes his head off. Jake decides that he has had more than enough of this match already and quickly reaches down and grabs Runamok, whips him into the corner so hard that it causes him to bounce off the turnbuckles and back into the waiting arms of Jake who belly-to-belly's him over his head and down to the mat with a sick thud.

With his body folded up almost like an accordian the Mexican man can do nothing but wait for the onslaught to continue as Jake walks over, kicks him twice, and then lifts him back up to his feet, hits him with three quick forearms and whips him into the ropes this time catching him and taking him hard back down to the mat with a spinebuster that seems almost as if he broke the young man in two.

SA: This isn't a good night to be Runamok.

HJ: I've got a feeling this is a sign that it isn't a good idea to do anything that this man takes as a disrespect toward him. I hate him already.

SA: Why?

HJ: Cause when it comes to Mr. Silver he has to learn to tow the line. Damn rebels.

With his opponent down Jake walks over to the corner behind Runamok and waits for him to get to his feet. In the corner Jake plays to the crowd by clapping his hands and dancing in place like a man who is ready to fight. The crowd just eats it up as Jake waits. Finally Runamok makes his way to his feet and stands up on wobbly legs only to have Jake, a moment later, come flying in from behind and take him back down to the mat with a perfectly exectued Running Bulldog.

HJ: Nice to see the rebel hasn't forgot his roots. Bet he learned that move with many a night of attacking cattle from behind like that.

SA: Would you just shut up for a change.

Quickly back to his feet Jake reaches down, pulls Runamok up into a standing position before dropping him hard, head first, into the mat with a DDT. Jake then quickly hooks a leg.

DING! DING! DING!

SYKE: Ladies and gentlemen the winner of the match, by pinfall, 'The Austin Outlaw'....JAKE JENNINGS!!!

The crowd explodes as Jake rises to his feet and pumps his fists into the air before once more asking for a microphone.

Jake: Silver! You see what happens Silver? Do you really think that you can just disrespect me and shove me to the bottom of the pile by makin' me face a guy who just had his ass handed to him last week by that giant Jorge? Was it fair to this poor guy to sacrifice him in this manner just cause you're pissed off that I'm not gonna kiss your ass?

HJ: This man is about the most disrespectful person I've ever seen

. SA: Oh come on now Scott. We've seen much worse, Caldera has appeared on FUSE-W television.

Jake: Silver I've got a feelin' we're gonna have a real rocky time here in FUSE-W and it's gonna start gettin' more and more rocky next week.

With that Jake throws down the mic and storms out of the ring to the cheers of the fans.

Winner: Jake Jennings



Line in the Sand
Starring: Vance Raymes, The Preacher

The scene opened up with the big man, Vance Raymes clenching and releasing his fists as he tapes them up along with his wrists. Once the thick tape is secure, he slips his black gloves on, once again clenching his fists to ensure the perfect fit. Happy with the fit, he throws some punches into the air, loosening up for his upcoming match against John Covel. But there would be some issues beforehand because approaching from around the corner was JD Cross. Raymes did not know he was there as his back was turned as he threw the punches.

Cross: Out of my fucking way!(tag)

Vance hears the voice from behind but happens to do the exact opposite of what Cross requests. He turns and uses his much larger figure to block the hallway, causing the two men to come face to face only about one meter a part. Raymes crosses his arms and scowls at the smaller man.

Raymes: Excuse me?

JD Cross cups his hands over his mouth.

Cross: Get......Out......Of......My......Fucking......Way!

Raymes shakes his head and stands his ground.

Raymes: I was more or less questioning your piss poor attitude, not exactly what you said.

A smile creeps up from one corner of Vance’s mouth.

Raymes: So what if I don’t *mocking* ‘Get out of your fuckin’ way’?

Cross: You know, I've had a bad fucking night already. You really don't want me to kick your sorry little ass before your 'big' title match with Covel.

The smirk never disappeared from the face of Raymes as he held both hands in front of him, measuring about six inches and then indicating the obvious height differential to his counterpart.

Raymes: I don’t know if you were watching last week boy, but you really don’t know who you are talking to. It’s best to adjust your tone rather quickly before your night gets exponentially worse.

Cross steps up to be toe to toe with Raymes. His tone gets more aggressive.

Cross: What are you going to do? Smoke my pole? Son, you have no idea who you are fucking with. I’m the Juggernaut, bitch.

The crowd gets a laugh from this.

Raymes: I’m being rather kind at the moment and am going to give you one last chance to adjust your attitude. Otherwise…

Raymes clenches his right fist in his other hand right in front of Cross, his upper arm looking thicker than Cross’ neck.

Raymes: …there will be a mess for the janitor to clean up back here.

Cross: Yeah, you’re right.

Cross takes off his shirt and clenches his fists as he takes a single step backwards. He looks to prepare to attack.

Cross: But the mess is going to be you.

Vance nods and gets ready.

Raymes: Very well, I will invite you to it then.

“The Tortured Artist” sticks out his left cheek.

Raymes: First shot is all yours, but make the best of it. Because it will be the last you’ll be able to swing.

Cross goes to take Raymes down with a double leg and but FUSE officials break them apart just as Cross lifts Raymes.

Cross: Let me fucking go, you shits!

Meanwhile Vance gets his footing back and throws a haymaker towards Cross but hits an official instead, the force of the blow sending the official into the air and smacking into the wall. His body crumples to the floor like a sack of potatoes and Cross looks on shocked, as the official was not much smaller than he. Vance then stops battling, clearly making his point.

Raymes: Next time, it'll be YOU on the floor with YOUR lights out.

Cross: Doubt that. These officials fold like an accordian. My newborn daughter can punch harder than that.

Vance smirks and nods again as Cross gets dragged away by more security. The officials cannot move the large figure of Vance but give up because he is no longer advancing. He bends down to check on the official he knocked out as Cross gets escorted out of the vicinity.

Custom CHAOS
Starring: John Covel, Vance Raymes

SA: It’s time to crown a new CUSTOM C.H.A.O.S Champion folks! John Covel is set to take on Vance Raymes for the title and we don’t even know the stipulation yet!

HJ: I’m just wondering how Covel is going to be able to handle the big man. Covel is giving up eighty pounds to the six foot seven inch “Tortured Artist.”

Wake up,
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup),
Grab a brush and put a little,
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

“Chop Suey!” hits the speakers and the fans let out a chorus of cheers as Vance Raymes comes through the curtain and stands atop the stage. He looks out to the crowd before stepping forward and walking down the stage. When he reaches the ring, he steps up onto the apron and then lifts a leg over the top rope, stepping into the ring. He raises an arm into the air, bringing another small surge of cheers.

SA: Just look at the size of this guy. He’s huge.

HJ: I have a feeling that we are in for a brutal match up.

OUT OF MY WAY!

I can’t pass up this opportunity to make myself absurd,
I can’t pass up this opportunity to let myself be heard.
Would you, like to, be the one who sees me lose this all,
Would you, like to, be the one who sees me fall.

“Out Of My Way” by Seether blares over the sound system as the crowd explodes with cheers. After a few seconds of music, the curtain pushes open and John Covel flies through, stopping at the top of the stage. He looks out to the crowd much the same that Raymes did before taking his first step down the ramp.

SA: John Covel debuting some new entrance music here tonight!

HJ: Yes, sir. Not a bad tune.

Nobody’s gonna stand in my way
Give it up son, I’m doin’ this my way
Nobody’s gonna stand in my way
Give it up son, I’m doin’ this my way

Covel approaches the ring and hops to a knee on the apron. He stands and steps in between the top and middle ropes. As he straightens up, he slaps his chest with his right hand and then raises it into the air as he steps onto the middle rope, causing the fans to pop again. “Out Of My Way” fades from the speakers as the two competitors finally glance at each other.

SKYE: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is a Tables, Ladders, Chairs, Light Tubes match for the FUSE Wrestling CUSTOM C.H.A.O.S Championship. The only way to win this match is to scale the ladder and retrieve the title belt that is hanging above the ring.

The shot pans upwards to spot the title belt hanging. Both men lock their eyes to it, wanting to hold it in the worst way.

SA: A ladder match? I think Covel just got that eighty pounds back!

HJ: You’re not kidding. He has to have the advantage with his quickness.

SA: Not to mention his success in ladder matches. Covel is a perfect two for two in his ladder matches in FUSE. One of those was for the CUSTOM C.H.A.O.S Championship as well.

HJ: But one has to remember. Covel won’t be able to climb that ladder if Raymes has crippled him with his power.

SA: That’s very true.

SKYE: Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada. He weighs in at three hundred twenty-one pounds, this is “The Tortured Artist”, VAAAANCE RAAAAAAAAAAYMES!!!

The crowd pops at the sound of his name.

SKYE: And his opponent, from Mazon, Illinois. He weighs in at two hundred forty pounds. A former CUSTOM C.H.A.O.S Champion, this is “The Insane Extremist” JOOOOHN COOOOOOOOVEEEEEL!!!!

DING

FUSE official Willy Parr motions for the bell as the two men begin circling each other. They come together in a collar and elbow tie up with Raymes gaining the fast advantage with a hammerlock. Covel fights the hold, eventually getting a foot or so in front of the big man. John tries to run forward and hit the ropes, but Raymes reaches forward and grabs his tights, pulling him back into a waist lock. Before Raymes can lift him up and over, Covel throws hard elbows back into the face of his opponent. This causes Raymes to release his grip and stumble backwards. Covel rushes forwards and hits the ropes, only to come back and get leveled with a spinning lariat.

SA: What a clothesline by Raymes!

HJ: I think Covel’s head is rolling around somewhere in the fifth row.

Raymes backs off as Covel gets to his feet, slightly shaken from the clothesline. He holds his neck, but moves back in on the big man, tying up again. For a second time, Raymes gets the advantage. This time he raises one of his huge knees into the chest of Covel. Covel doubles over, allowing Raymes to hook his head and arm and take him up and over with a suplex. Covel hits the mat hard, causing him to roll to his belly. Vance gets to his feet and moves back in, laying a few boots to the back of Covel’s head. After a few seconds of working that area of his body, Raymes leans in and hoists Covel to his feet. Raymes grabs Covel’s arm and sends him across the ring with an Irish whip. Covel hits the ropes and comes back, ducking another of those strong spinning lariats. John slams on the brakes and turns, surging forward with a forearm to the side of the head. He steps back and leaps forward again with another forearm shot. The big man staggers backwards a half step as Covel backs away and comes back in with a third forearm, this one stiffer than any of the others. That shot staggers Raymes backwards a couple of steps, allowing Covel to hit the ropes for momentum. He comes back, wanting to hit another leaping forearm, but Raymes raises his boot into the air and levels John with a big boot.

SA: Raymes levels Covel again!

HJ: Think of the headache he’s got now.

Covel rolls around on the mat, holding his head as Raymes looks down to him. Covel rolls away to the side of the ring and sits up, looking to the big man. Raymes stares at him with intensity. John reaches his feet and slowly moves back in towards Raymes. The two lock up again and the same result occurs. Raymes gains the advantage and spins around into a waist lock. Covel puts up a hell of a fight this time, leaving Vance no other option than to rush forward to the ropes. They hit the ropes and begin to fall backwards. Covel wraps his arms around the ropes in desperation, but it’s no use. Raymes’ size rips his hold on the ropes away. The two men roll in simultaneous backwards somersaults. Out of instinct the big man seals the roll up with a grasp of the legs, but Willy Parr reminds him that there are no pin falls.

SA: I think that pin fall attempt was out of instinct.

HJ: It was still a slip up.

Before he can get to his feet, Raymes is shoved forward by a surprising surge of strength from Covel. The big man stumbles forward, almost falling down after tripping over Covel’s foot. This gives John time to roll backwards and get to his feet as Raymes turns. Covel leaps and plants both feet in the sternum with a beautiful dropkick. “The Tortured Artist” reels backwards as Covel quickly gets to his feet. As Vance regains his balance and comes back forward, Covel hits the ropes and meets him in the center of the ring with a flying forearm that sends the big man back into the ropes. Covel lands on his feet and rushes over, pushing Raymes into the ropes and grabbing his arm. John tries to send him across the ring with a whip, but Vance is able to reverse it and send Covel into the ropes. John comes back and ducks a clothesline from the big man. He hits the ropes again and leaps forward, only to get caught in a bear hug by Raymes. Raymes adjusts him, holding him perpendicular to his own body. He readies himself and then falls to his back throwing Covel over head with a fall away slam.

SA: Covel just cannot mount any significant offense.

HJ: The Tortured Artist is there to put a stop to it at every turn.

Covel lies just under the bottom rope on one side of the ring as Raymes climbs to his feet near the center of the ring. Raymes moves forward towards Covel, but John rolls to the outside and out of his reach. Raymes steps over the top rope in pursuit of Covel, but John smartly slides into the ring and quickly gets to his feet as the big man steps to the floor. Covel hits the ropes on the opposite side of the ring and comes running back, leaping as Raymes turns to re-enter the ring and catches him in the face with a dropkick that sends the big man into the steel barrier at ring side. Covel gets back to his vertical base and begins to run towards the ropes again, but Raymes grabs a hold of his leg and trips him up. Covel’s face smacks the canvas hard, allowing Vance to step onto the apron and back into the ring. As Covel pushes himself to a knee, Raymes grabs him by the head and lifts him to his feet. He grabs Covel’s arm and sends him across the ring into the corner. Raymes comes charging in, but Covel raises a boot into his face, causing him to stumble backwards. Covel pushes himself up to a sitting position on the top rope and waits for the big man to turn around. Covel leaps and grabs Raymes’ head, driving him down with a modified tornado DDT.

SA: This may be what Covel needs! That DDT has Raymes down!

HJ: Covel is moving slowly towards the outside.

Covel rolls underneath the bottom rope and turns, grabbing the ladder and sliding it under the bottom rope. He slides in himself as Raymes begins to stand. Covel takes a hold of the ladder and rushes forwards, nailing Raymes in the shoulder. Vance falls back to his stomach after the shot. Covel sees his opportunity and opens the ladder and sets it underneath the belt. He starts to scramble up the steps. As he reaches the third from the top, he feels a tug on his leg. He looks down and spots Vance Raymes with a death grip on his boot. John tries to shake him off, but Raymes steps up a step and turns, reaching up and grabbing onto Covel’s thighs. Covel tries to hang onto the ladder desperately, but it’s no use. Raymes falls forwards, yanking Covel from the ladder.

THUUUUUD

Covel hits the mat hard from the powerbomb. The momentum of the two men is enough to roll Covel backwards and under the bottom rope to a kneeling position on the outside. Raymes spots his first chance for the belt and turns, looking to the ladder. He takes his first step up and the ladder holds.

SA: Raymes is going for the belt!

HJ: Think the ladder is strong enough to hold him?

Raymes cautiously steps up another rung and steadies himself. After a second or two he takes to more quick steps up and looks above him to the belt that is just out of his reach. He takes another step up, four from the top now and raises his arm, reaching for the belt. He is just barely able to graze the bottom of it, but as he begins to take another step up, Covel jumps into the air and uses the top rope to springboard him forward with a dropkick that connects with Raymes’ back. Vance loses his balance and falls to his right, catching his throat on the top rope. The ladder tips over and falls to the mat with the impact of the big man on the canvas. Raymes falls to his back and rolls to the outside under the bottom rope. Covel pushes himself to a knee and takes a deep breath before spotting Raymes staggering around on the outside. Covel hits the ropes and comes running across the ring, leaping into the air and flying to the outside with a picture perfect flying senton that lands him onto “The Tortured Artist.” Both men collapse to the ground as the crowd explodes with cheers.

FUSE! FUSE! FUSE! FUSE!

SA: Covel looks like he could be finally gaining some momentum here!

HJ: He can’t hesitate! Get back in there and go for the belt.

Covel is the first to his feet, moving around the ring to the time keeper’s area. He folds up a steel chair and readies it. He rounds the corner and swings just as Raymes gets to his feet.

THUUUUUUUUUUD

OHHHHHHHHH!

The chair connects with nothing but Vance Raymes’ skull, sending him back to the ground. Covel lifts the chair again and brings it down across the back of Raymes. He turns and walks back around in front of the time keeper and opens the chair, setting it in the middle of the walk. He grabs another chair and sets it across from the other. But he’s not done. He ducks back under the ring and searches for something else. With his head under the ring, John doesn’t notice Vance climbing to his feet. He stumbles around trying to gain his bearings and is finally able to shake the cobwebs out as he approaches Covel and lays a clubbing blow to his back. Covel emerges from under the ring as Raymes lands a few more forearms to the back before turning him around. Raymes lays a few right hands into the head of Covel before rearing back and landing a chop across John’s chest that echoes throughout the arena. This causes John to stumble backwards and flop into a seating position on one of the chairs he has set up. Raymes backs up to the steel barrier to his left and stares forward at Covel, still dazed and on the chair. Raymes begins to run forward, gaining speed with every step. Just a few feet from his target, Covel springs off the chair and drops down, tying Vance’s legs up with a drop toe hold that sends him crashing face first onto one of the chairs, crushing it.

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

SA: Raymes’ face just bounced off of that steel chair!

HJ: That looked like it hurt.

Raymes covers his face with his hands as Covel stands and looks to the fallen man. John’s glance moves away from his opponent and up to the championship belt hanging above the ring. Moving a little tenderly, John rolls into the ring and retrieves the fallen ladder. He sets it up and extends the legs, taking that first step up. He pauses before taking the next two steps and then looking out to the outside. Raymes is pushing himself under the bottom rope. Covel hops down from the ladder, not believing what he’s seeing. As Raymes gets to a knee inside the ring, Covel rushes forward and raises a boot that connects with Raymes head, sending him back to his stomach. Covel looks to the belt and then turns, hopping to the outside.

SA: He’s not going for the belt?

HJ: That yakuza kick nearly took off one of Raymes’ sideburns!

SA: Vance Raymes doesn’t have any hair on his head.

HJ: That’s because that yakuza kick from Covel just took it all off!

Covel grabs the one good chair that remains on the outside and tosses it over the ring, to the opposite side. He grabs the final chair from the time keeper’s area and begins making his way around the ring to the other chair. Covel drops it and lifts the ring apron skirt, heading back under the ring. After a moment, Covel emerges with a table in tow. He lifts it up and extends the legs before setting it into an upright position. Just the sight of the table causes the crowd to explode with cheers. Covel isn’t quite done. He drops back to his knees and begins searching under the ring again. While doing so, he is once again distracted from the movement of the big man back in the ring. Raymes has slowly gotten to his feet and is dragging the ladder to the corner. He places one end resting on the top turnbuckle before turning his attention to Covel. Covel comes back from under the ring, another table in tow. Just as he steps around to lift it up, Raymes reaches over the top rope and grabs at Covel. John dodges the first attempt and uses his quickness to slide into the ring and under the big man’s legs. Covel springs to his feet and waits for Vance to turn before leaping.

THUUUUUNK

SA: Leaping enziguri to the back of Raymes’ head!

HJ: Raymes is dazed!

The Tortured Artist stumbles towards the center of the ring as Covel gets back to his feet and backs into the corner opposite the ladder. As Raymes turns to face John, John runs forwards. Raymes gains his senses back just in time to catch Covel in a hug-type hold and lift him over head in one swift motion.

CA-THUUUUUUD

OHHHHHHHHHH!!!

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!

The release belly to belly suplex from Raymes sent Covel crashing neck and head first onto the ladder in the corner. Covel collapses to the mat, holding his head and kicking his feet on the ground violently. Raymes gets back to his feet and approaches Covel again, lifting him to his feet. Covel is still practically limp from the landing he just took and thus cannot fight back. Raymes lays a few forearms to the side of Covel’s head before turning back to the ladder and shoving John under his legs. Raymes lifts Covel up for a powerbomb, but John wiggles his way free at the peak of the lift and falls to his feet in front of the big man. John lunges forwards with a clothesline attempt, but Raymes sidesteps it and ends up back behind Covel. He grabs John in a waist lock and doesn’t hesitate before lifting him up and over.

CA-THUUUUUUUUD

OHHHHHHHHH!!!!

FUSE!! FUSE!! FUSE!!!

SA: That release German suplex folded Covel up like an accordion on his neck for the second time in the last two minutes!

HJ: That could have been the final straw. His neck might be broken.

The ladder gives way and falls to the canvas, Covel still lying on top of it. Raymes notices this and turns his back to the downed Covel, moving to the two tables on the outside. He climbs out of the ring and grabs the table that was abandoned by Covel just minutes prior. Vance extends the legs and lifts one end of the table into the air, climbing back to the apron. He uses his brute strength to lift the table into air and carefully set it on top of the first. This brings an even bigger buzz from the crowd than the first table. Raymes glances over his shoulder and looks up to the belt, then to Covel. John has rolled off the ladder and is attempting to get to his feet. Raymes decides to take a chance and steps back into the ring, heading for the ladder. He walks it over to the center of the ring and sets it up, stepping onto the first rung. He looks down and spots no progress from the Insane Extremist. Raymes takes two more steps up the ladder and looks back down, seeing Covel almost to a standing position. Raymes takes another step up and reaches for the belt, grazing the bottom of it again. He takes another step up and steadies himself before reaching again. Just as his hand reaches the belt, the ladder begins to shake. Covel has slid from the ring and is looking under the ring for something. The sudden movement of a three hundred twenty pound man on a ladder is enough to cause the ladder to begin to teeter; eventually tipping enough that Raymes has to step off and land on his feet. As he sets the ladder back up and takes the first step up it, the crowd explodes as Covel slides back into the ring.

SA: Is that…?

HJ: A board covered in barbed wire!

Raymes knows he’s got to go back up quickly if he has any chance. He takes the first three steps in one movement and then stops to steady the ladder. He takes tow more quick steps and reaches for the belt. Just as his hand touches the belt, the ladder shakes again. Vance looks down and spots a beaten Covel scampering up the ladder, running on nothing but pure adrenaline. Not only that, but he’s got the board in his left hand. Covel reaches up and nails a right hand to the stomach of Raymes, causing him to take a step down. Covel steps up another two steps, coming face to face with The Tortured Artist. With his on free hand, Covel nails another right to the face before grasping the board with both hands and lifting it over his head. He tries to bring it down over the head of Raymes as the crowd buzzes in anticipation, but Vance lands a right hand to the temple of Covel. John can do nothing but drop the board and grasp the ladder so that he doesn’t fall. The board falls over the head of the big man and tumbles to the canvas, landing just a foot or two from the base of the ladder. Raymes attempts another right hand, but Covel blocks it and nails a forearm. Covel then reaches up and grabs Raymes’ head, slamming it into the top of the ladder. Raymes slumps over on the ladder as Covel takes two more steps up and jumping. He front flips over the top of the ladder, grabbing onto the thighs of the Tortured Artist and falling. Covel’s momentum is enough to pluck Raymes from his stance on the ladder and drive him down with a sunset flip powerbomb, right onto the barbed wire board. As Covel’s feet hit the ground, he leaps into the air and comes forward, landing directly on the sternum of Vance.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!!

THIS MATCH RULES!!!!

SA: Covel drives both feet into the chest of Vance Raymes with that double stomp after the sunset flip powerbomb.

HJ: And Raymes had that board covered in barbed wire under him too!

Covel’s momentum from the stomp has rolled him out of the ring, next to the tables. As Covel stands, Raymes rolls off of the board and holds his back. Pissed off, Raymes shoves the board away, right into the hands of John Covel. Covel lifts the board up and sets it in the center of the top table before hopping back to the floor and lifting the ring apron up again.

SA: How many goodies does he have under there?

HJ: He’s the “Insane Extremist”. He’s got to have these things.

Covel comes crawling out backwards as the crowd lets out a huge pop.

SA: Light tubes!

HJ: It is a Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Light Tubes match!

John sets them on the ground and retrieves the two chairs also at his feet. He hops back onto the apron with them in his hands and sets the on top of the top table. He opens one up and sets it off center to the right, followed by the other, which is off center to the left. Covel glances over his shoulder and spots the big man sitting up. This kicks Covel into high gear as he hops from the apron and retrieves the ten or so light tubes he has. He carefully gets to the apron and sets them on the chairs, spanning the gap.

SA: Look at that stack of….of…stuff!

HJ: I’d hate to be the man to go through that!

Covel is finally pleased with his set up and turns back to the ring, getting caught with a right from Raymes. Raymes grabs Covel by the head and leads him back into the ring. Raymes simply grabs Covel’s arm and whips him across the ring, right into the upright ladder. The ladder folds up and collapses as Covel stumbles backwards, right into a belly to back suplex from Vance Raymes that lands John high on his neck again. Raymes stands and lifts Covel from his downed position, leading him across the ring to the downed ladder. After a few right hands from Raymes, Covel staggers, just shy of the ladder. Raymes hits the ropes and comes running back, only for Covel to drop his shoulder. Covel grabs the big man by the waist, swinging around and dropping him onto the ladder with a sidewalk slam.

SA: Covel just hit Raymes with the Undertow!

HJ: This match is just wearing both men down. Neither is moving.

Not for long. Vance Raymes sits up, holding his back. The blow has only affected him a little bit, while it took a lot out of John. Raymes gets to his feet first with a look of determination and surprise on his face. He picks Covel up and raises a knee into his gut before shoving him underneath his legs and hooking his arms.

SA: Raymes could be going for that Drawing The Line driver!

HJ: I’d have to imagine that that would do Covel in.

But he reaches further down and hooks Covel’s legs as well. Raymes lifts him up and backs up a few steps, using his size and strength to keep Covel up. He runs forward and leaps into the air, landing on the ladder, driving Covel down with his own packaged piledriver.

OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Both men slump over in a heap. Covel is out from the fourth blow to the head he’s taken thus far and Raymes is simply taking this time to catch his breath. Both men seemingly begin to move at the same time, though Covel is much slower. Raymes turns and crawls over to the ladder, shoving Covel out of the way. Covel crawls over to the ropes and begins hoisting himself up as Raymes lifts the ladder and begins setting it up. As Raymes begins to steady it, Covel groggily gets to his feet.

SA: Covel is up, but he’s on unstable legs. He must still be out of it from that packaged piledriver!

HJ: But he’s still going after Raymes, though I’m not sure he can see straight.

Covel stumbles forward just as Vance takes the first step onto the ladder. Covel hits a few sloppy forearms to the back that have just enough force behind them to bring Raymes off the ladder. Covel lifts a knee into the gut of the big man and hooks his arm, head and reaches down, grabbing a leg as well. With just about all the strength he has left in him, Covel lifts and spins, driving Raymes to the mat with a spinning fisherman driver. Covel slowly begins to stir again, pushing himself to his feet. He stumbles over to the side of the ring and spills to the outside. He drops to a knee and raises the ring apron again, quickly retrieving a chair. He tosses it back into the ring and slides back in, moving in on Raymes. Vance is just getting to his feet as Covel reaches him, throwing a forearm. Covel nails repeated forearms that back Raymes into the ropes. Covel rears back and attempts another, but Raymes blocks it and nails a strong forearm of his own, knocking Covel backwards. Covel charges forward, but Raymes just drops his shoulder and lifts Covel up and over. Covel grabs the top rope and lands on the apron. Before Raymes can turn, Covel nails a forearm to the back of the head that sends the big man stumbling forward a few steps himself. He leans down as Covel leans back and stretches the top rope. Raymes straightens up just as John leaps into the air and lands on the top rope. In the split second that Covel takes to steady himself, Raymes spins and throws the chair in the air towards Covel.

THUUUUUUUUD

CRUUUUUUUUNCH

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!!

SA: COVEL JUST WENT CRASHING THROUGH THAT STACK OF TABLES!

HJ: ONTO THOSE TWO STEEL CHAIRS AND THAT BARBED WIRE BOARD AS WELL!!

Raymes stands, looking outside to the pile of debris. After a few seconds of being stunned, Raymes looks above him and spots the belt. He turns and begins making his way up the ladder. He takes the first three steps quickly and then steadies himself. He steps up another rung and reaches up, just shy of the belt. He takes a deep breath and carefully steps up two more rungs, just two from the top now and reaches up. His hand grasps the belt, unlatching it and letting it fall into his other hand.

DING

DING

DING

Gangster & A Gentleman
Starring: Jay Q.

The scene opens up in a beautiful house. The walls are colored white with frames of Jay Q. family, friends and wrestling pictures. The camera continues to scan the house and stops on a young man in his 20’s the young man is wearing a red bandanna no shirt with blue jeans and timberland boots. The young man is also holding a baby on his lap, he grabs the camera with his free hand and stares deep down into camera with a crazed look.

“Yah, probably looking at this and saying who is this kid. Well let me tell you something get use to this face because this is the new face you going to see around at FUSE. I’m the guy that’s going to raise hell and bring the drama to the ring. I’m the cat that’s going to……”

What the fuck is that smell.

“Yo…..tasha come here and get your son, you need to change him.”

A young beautiful Latin woman emerges out the back room. The young female is wearing red bra and panties with red high heels. She is tan skin slim and has curves all in the right places. She has long straight blonde hair, she walks over to Jay Q.

“Tasha, you finish in there with that trick? You need to change you damn son.” Jay Q tells tasha.

“Yes Pa. I just got threw with him.” She says while she wipes her mouth. “Come on give him here.”

Jay Q. passes the kid to his mother. The back room door opens and out emerges a husky white male puttining on his shirt. He walks towards tasha and hands her $100. He look’s at Jay Q. and they both nod at each other, he continues to walk towards the front door and exits the apartment. Tasha goes to the room in the back with her son to change his pampers.

“Like I said get use to this face, cause im coming to FUSE and im going to be cracking some motherf*cking head’s and that’s just what it is playa.”

The camera fades to black



Almost Enlightened
Starring: Evan Jackson, Dominique

It appeared that Evan Jackson was going to be allowed into the arena this week, judging from the lack of security guards watching him as he parks in the arena lot. The car of choice this week was a Lotus Exige, black, of course. He slides himself out of the low slung roadster and leisurely lifts a bag from the passenger seat, unhurried and seemingly here just to enjoy the show. But as he turns around towards the entrance, he is greeted by a familiar face.

“Dominique! It’s been a while, how are you?”

‘A stunningly hot object of lust for every male on the planet’ would have been a fair, if slightly immodest answer but the number one backstage reporter in FUSE goes instead with a simple.

“I’m fine Evan, it’s nice to see you back.”

He flashes her a smile then, the real one, not one of your boring, everyday ‘I’m not really that happy but I’ll pretend to be’ variety.

“I was just wondering if I could get a few words from you. About where you’ve been the last couple of months, what you’ve been up to, stuff like that.”

The smile is still there even as Jackson shakes his head in response.

“I’m sorry Dominique, I’d like to give you the exclusive scoop but this is something I want to tell everyone myself, out there, in the middle of the ring...”

Dominique’s face falls but brightens up again as the former LiveWire champion continues. “…But maybe I could take you for a drink later?”

“I’d like that.”

“I’ll come get you after the show.”

Jackson makes his way into the arena proper as Dominique bites her lip, an almost embarrassed smile on her face.

Main Event
Starring: Thanatos, Bobino

We return to ringside with a camera pointed on the inside of the stage. Sitting there with blood running from his head is Bobino, barely coherent as it streams down his face. Standing next to him his a large figure, who says nothing, turns, and is gone.

HJ: What the hell?

SA: Ladies and Gentlemen, we're scheduled to start our main event but it appears Bobino is.. Wait a damn minute!

Another monsterous figure makes his presense known lifting Bobino to his feet and throwing him down the aisle.

SA: Thanatos!

HJ: Huh?

SA: Thanatos is dragging Bobino to the ring, this man is in no shape to compete!

Throwing Bobino into the ring he hooks him, bringing him up to the top rope. Lifting Bobino onto his shoulder he leaps forward, landing a kneeling thunderfire bomb. Using his trademark pin, he makes a cover.

SA: THERE'S THE DOI!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Winner: Thanatos



Doing things Malice Style
Starring: Duke Williams, Damien Cruz

"The Latin Assassin" Damien Cruz pushed the door open with his crutch, and Duke Williams looked up from his Texas ribeye. The meat sat steaming, uncut, and filling the room with the second-most mouth watering aroma in the world. If you don't know the first; get out more. Williams was unamused by the interuption, so Damien, seeing that he would have to make it a short visit, got right down to business.

Damien: Just a moment of your time, Mr. Williams.

Williams put down his knife and fork, and nodded.

Duke: I'm listening as long as it takes for the butter to melt on the potatos. So make it quick.

DC: I don't know if you've made your choices for Asylum, but...

DW: Go on...

DC: I want in.

Duke Williams chuckled slightly, and looked at the cane.

DW: This isn't the Special Olympics, Hoss. You can't compete if you can't walk. Get healthy, hit the gym, and come back when you're back on both feet.

Duke then lifted his knife and fork, and took a hard swig of his Wild Turkey. Damien didn't move.

DC: I'll be ready, trust me. I wouldn't waste your time asking otherwise. Let me in the match, Williams. Give me the spot, and I'll show you what I can do.

Increasingly more annoyed, Williams placed the untensils down, and returned is attention to The Latin Assassin.

DW: I like the fight in you, little guy, but I'd have a hard time sleeping at night if I threw you to the wolves like that.

Damien Cruz shook his head, refusing to take no for an answer.

DC: I don't want to sit on the sidelines, and watch this from home. I'm ready, Duke. I'm ready.

Duke Williams stroked his chin, and waved Damien off.

DW: I'll think about it. Now get going.

Damien shrugged, accepting that this may be as good as it will get for him. He began to speak, but Duke waved him off again.

DW: Here's a bit of advise: the longer I have to wait to eat this, the worse your chances you'll get in the match, Hoss. So...git!

Damien rose, and Duke Williams lifted his knife and fork for the final time. When he put them down again, thirty-five bucks worth of the country's best beef was gone, as were three mugs of Wild Turkey. He was in a better mood.



Assembling a crew
Starring: Derek Silver

The smirking face of Derek Silver is shown, as he talks to one of the FUSE-W Backstage people over the intercom system.

Derek Silver: Excellent. I was hoping Team GCW Would be this strong, I have no doubt WE will capture the FUSE-W Universal title next week. No, keep this quiet. I'll release a statement later.

He takes his finger off the button as we fade
