Scene opens up in the locker room designated for the Legacy Department. Grim is standing and Anderson and Conner are both seated on a sofa.

Grimjack: Guys we have to work together. We have an obligation to our fans.

Conner: Fans? What are you talking about?

Anderson: Yeah? Who cares about fans?

Grimjack: Just try to work together. I need you two to get the tag team titles.

Anderson and Conner look at each other.

Anderson: Me? Him? Working together?

Conner: To win the tag titles? Not gonna happen!

Grimjack: Just give it a try guys. Trust me.

Scene fades out

Ryan Maxem walks down the ramp to the sounds of "Circles" by Incubus. The crowd cheer him as he does so.

Erin Wallace: Introducing, weighing in at 283 pounds, he is the HWA X-Treme Champion - RYAAAAAN MAXEM!

The crowd go ever more nuts now as he climbs into the ring and holds aloft his X-Treme Championship Belt.

TB: It's gonna take some tough cookie to prize that belt away from Ryan Maxem, you know that Keith?

KK: And my favourite tough little cookie is coming up next!

EW: Introducing, CASSANDRA STARRRRRRR!

Cassandra runs down to ringside and launches herself at Maxem who is still getting himself ring-ready.

TB: Cass wasting no time at all here, getting straight at Maxem.

KK: With a guy like Maxem you have to take whatever edge you can.

Maxem topples over, under the weight of Cassandra's surprise attack. Cass mounts Maxem and hits maxem with punch after punch.

KK: Oh my God.

TB: Don't even THINK about saying it Keith.

KK: Right.

Maxem comes to his sense and manages to throw Cassandra off. He checks himself over and then runs straight at Cass at full speed, nearly beheading her with a vicious clothesline. Cassandra falls to the floor but when Maxem tries to follow up with an elbow she slides out of the ring. She climbs under the ring and Maxem starts after her. We see neither competitor for several minutes, but hear several crashes and thuds.

TB: The battle is going on under the ring!

KK: Wait there, I'm going to go take a look!

TB: Hmmm *eyes keith suspiciously*

Keith Kincaid runs over to the ring and also climbs under the ring. The bangs and crashes persist with even more frequency now.

TB: Uh, ladies and gentlemen, we believe the wrestlers are fighting under the ring, we'll let you know more once we SEE something! Of course, referee Wallace Cunningham could under normal rules administer a Count-Out, but of course, we're dealing with the X-Treme Title here, which means there are no count outs or, indeed, DQs. I also do not have a clue where my esteemed colleague Keith Kincaid has gotten to, although I suspect it may be something to do with Cassandra Starr!

Eventually, Cassandra emerges from underneath the ring, her hair messed up and her clothes torn, in one particular place revealing slightly more than she would perhaps prefer.

Next, Keith Kincaid rolls out from under the ring, also looking slightly haggard. He walks back to the announce table while Maxem starts to emerge from under the ring.

KK: OH. My. GOD!

TB: What happened Keith?

KK: I swear they were getting it on under there!

TB: I doubt it - LOOK NOW!

The camera pans around to catch a shot just as Ryan Maxem plants Cassandra with a metal tray.

KK: They sure don't look like love birds now!

Cassandra manages to hook Maxem's leg and maxem trips enough to let Cassandra up. She grabs from under the ring...

TB: A POTTED PLANT!

Cass hits Maxem over the head with a potted plant. His eyes cloud over and he falls to the floor. But in doing so, dislodged a plank of wood, which ricocched up and catches cassandra square in the face.

KK: Oh my, her pretty face...

TB: I don't think Maxem did that deliberatly. Either way, we have to see now who will get to their feet the fastest.

A short time passes but eventually Ryan Maxem comes to first. He pushes Cassandra into the ring and stands above, looking down on her. A picture comes on the HWAtron of Michael Diamond watching the match very closely on a monitor. Looking concerned. The camera zooms out slightly and we see another man standing next to him. Fudge.

Maxem, noticing this is slightly distracted, but not enough to make a difference. Not needing the Fists of Fury to set Cass up (as she is out cold), Maxem places her into position for the Technical Difficulties (Spinning reverse brainbuster) .He hits it and makes the cover. the referee counts 1..2..3 but Cass never really had any chance of kicking out.

KK: Cassandra still hasn't moved Trent.

TB: I know, here come the paramedics.

KK: This doesn't look good at all.

TB: No, it doesn't - folks we'll get you an update as soon as we can but right now Cassandra Starr is being taken out of here on a stretcher.

Erin Wallace: This match is for the David Jackson's Elitist League and is a qualifying match. Introducing first, weighing in at 230 pounds, GRIMJACK!

Grimjack makes his way down to ringside to the sounds of "One Armed Scissor" by At the Drive In. He gets into the ring and waits for his opponent.

EW: And, his opponent, weighing in at 235pounds - UNKNOWN NINJA!

Ninja walks down the ramp, never taking his eyes off Grimjack. He climbs in and the two men continue to stare each other out while Wallace Cunningham makes the usual pre-match checks.

TB: It's been a while since we saw either of these men in a HWA ring Keith.

KK: Yeah, Grimjack vanished and then turns back up at Crash and burn as quickly as he went!

TB: Something's not right somewhere, still, its good to have the old pothead around!

The two men lock up for the first time, just getting a feel for each other. Neither man has been in a HWA ring for a while. In the early going Grimjack gets the better of Ninja, using his cunning and experience to get the edge. Then Ninja starts to fight back. Ninja uses his quickness and also his martial arts skills, which are seemingly too much for Grimjack. The match keeps going for about ten minutes in this fashion.

TB: Neither man really gaining any advantage here Keith.

KK: No, thats true. They're similarly built men and are similarly talented men too.

TB: Thats correct, Ninja has his martial arts skills and his skills, whereas Grimjack has his submission holds and a wealth of experience to fall back on. Oh! Nice roundhouse kick from Ninja.

KK: That seems to have cut Grimjack's lip. He clutches his hand to his face and looks over at Ninja with an evil look on his face. He runs at Ninja, and getting close, spits blood in the eyes of his opponent.

TB: Ugh, horrible.

Grimjack stands laughing at Ninja, until Ninja takes Grim down unexpectedly with a leg sweep. Ninja climbs high to the top of the turnbuckle.

TB: What does he have planned here?

But we never find out as Nighthawk has leaped over the barrier and throws Ninja off of the top turnbuckle. He hits the Hawkbuster (Inverted Brainbuster) on Ninja and then simply leaves the ring, his work done.

KK: Nighthawk taking out the unknown ninja with his finisher, the Hawkbuster.

TB: I don't think Ninja is so unknown anymore! Nighthawk just made him famous!!

Grimjack, realising what has happened, comes over to Ninja and hits the Exodus (Rockbottom into a Stone Cold Stunner) on him, capitalising on the situation. He covers Ninja and the ref counts 1...2....3.

TB: Grimjack wins.

KK: Yeah, but it took him AND Nighthawk to down the ninja.

TB: You've gotta believe that Unknown Ninja will be out for retribution.

TB: Here is a match with implications in the Elitest tournament!

KK: You. Quiet.

Craven kicks Anderson in the gut and grabs his head and swings it for a neckbreak. Anderson gets right back up but is speared by Craven.

TB: Did you see that Keith?

KK: What?

TB: The dragon!

Both men get up and Anderson kicks Craven in the gut and signals for the Attitude Adjuster. Craven head butts Anderson in the groin and follows it up with an elbow to the nose that sends blood spilling. Craven gets up but slips in Anderson’s blood.

TB: Good god this is disgusting!!!

Anderson catches Craven with a boot to the gut and follows it with the Attitude Adjustor. He makes the cover, 1 . . . 2 . . . No! Phil Alderson had jumped the rail and dived into the ring, breaking up the 3 count. Anderson looks down at Alderson with an expression on surprise. Before anyone can react, Craven is up again and floors both men with a double clothesline.

TB: I wasn't aware this was a triple threat match!

KK: Can somebody, please remove Phil Alderson from this match? SECURITY!

Craven is up again and heads over to where Anderson landed. He drops an elbow, two, three, deep into the midsection of Anderson. In the meantime Alderson is back to his feet, he holds Anderson down for Craven to administer the beating. Just then, we are joined at ringside by another man.

KK: It's KEVIN CONNER!

TB: WHAT THE HELL?!

Conner gets into the ring and drags Alderson off of Anderson. He turns to face Craven, but, knowing the referee could quite easily disqualify Anderson if he did anything, he wisely leaves the ring to work on Alderson some more.

KK: Conner just evened the odds!

TB: I wouldn't be surprised if this would be the start of this new team of Conner and Anderson that Grimjack was talking about earlier. They've certainly got each others backs.

Anderson, now with the advantage, starts to work on Craven, using his powerful frame to get the better of the other man. Eventually, despite Craven's best efforts, Anderson picks up the victory via pinfall.

TB: “We are ready for yet another David Jackson's Elitist League Qualifying Match.”

KK: “Yeah, this match is Judge VS Conner.”

TB: “Should be a good one but we haven’t seen much of Conner since last Sunday, what kind of shape is he in.”

KK: “I don’t know but both of these men are not near 100% but Conner has to be worst off.”

(“November Rain” then hits and the crowd pops as the big man named Judge comes walking down the ramp. He goes up and steps over the top ropes to get in the ring. He poses and fans take pictures then he goes stretches out in the corner as his music is cut off by “King Of My World” and the crowd goes from a huge pop to defining boos! Conner walks down limping and slowly gets in the ring.)

TB: “Looks like Judge recovered nicely, but Conner looks to be a different story.”

KK: “Judge isn’t in the best condition even if he tries to hide it.”

(Conner’s music cuts off and the bell rings. Conner holds his side and Judge and Conner circle the ring. The to go into a collar and elbow tie up and Judge throws Conner down to the mat hard and the crowd pops.)

TB: “You see the size and strength advantage by Judge.”

(Conner gets up and runs at Judge. Judge swings with a closeline, Conner then jumps to the second rope turnbuckle then jumps back with a springboard cross body and Judge catches him. Judge then takes him down for two back breakers and keeps holding him. Judge throws Conner up on his shoulders then muscles him up in a military press and starts to bench Conner as the fans pop, he drops Conner who falls on his face. Conner rolls out of the ring.)

KK: “Conner leaving the ring.”

TB: “Judge is just man handling Conner.”

(Judge goes follows Conner outside who is walking around. Judge grabs Conner’s hair and gives him a low blow.)

TB: “A low blow by Conner, that was cheap.”

(Conner then throws rights and lefts at Judge then kicks him in the stomach and the jumps on Judge’s shoulder and his a swinging DDT on the outside.)

KK: “A swinging DDT, right out in front of us! I heard Judges big dome crack against the thing layer of mat.”

(Conner holds his back in pain and gets up. Judge then follows him using the announce table to get up. Conner gets in the ring and Judge follows. He starts to kick Judge but Judge is struggling up through the kicks. Conner stands up and Judge pushes Conner away but he runs back and gets a big boot right in the face.)

KK: “Did I just see a tooth fly from Conner’s mouth?”

TB: “Very possible that was a huge boot. Judge is picking Conner, wait Conner goes around and has a waste lock. Conner hit a German suplex his hands are locked, another German, and a third. Conner hit 3 Germans in a row on the big man and both men are out.”

(Conner gets up using help of the ropes and sees Judge laying there. Conner runs to the other ropes opposite Judge and comes back with a rolling thunder. Conner gets up and goes to the apron and flips over hitting a leg drop.)

TB: “The big MO has shifted in this match.”

(Conner goes for cover and the ref counts 1...... 2...... Judge gets his should up and Conner can’t believe it. Conner begins to yell at the ref in anger. Conner then turns around and gets a hard side walk slam. Judge gets up slowly this time and yells at Conner to get up. Conner gets up and Judge runs and swings with another big boot but Conner ducks and Judge gets leg caught over the top rope and Conner takes advantage. He gives Judge shots to the kidneys and then takes a could steps back and then chop blocks Judge in his knee. Judge falls in pain. Conner has a cocky smile.)

KK: “No one can’t say Conner knows his way around the ring.”

TB: “True but he’s so cheap at it and Judge looks to be pretty hurt.”

(Conner picks Judge up and his a standing dropkick, Judge hits the Conner and comes back out and Conner hits the Soul Searcher. Conner then goes to the top rope and calls for it as the fan boos loudly and he leaps off with One Of A Kind but Judge rolls out of the way.)

TB: “Conner took to much time gloating and he mist the One Of A Kind. Judge is up now with an intense look.”

KK: “This doesn’t look good for Conner.”

(Conner pleads with him and then brings the ref in between him. The ref pushes Conner off him and falls while the ref is getting up Conner his yet another low blow. Conner then hits a spinning wheel kick right in the face. Bringing the big man down. Conner then gets up slowly and walks to Judge’s feet and locks in the Career Killer.)

KK: “TB, we saw this at Crash and Burn against Fudge, its the Career Killer!”

TB: “Yes, we did how long can Judge hold on with his back still hurting from last Sunday.”

(Judge shakes his head no, as Conner struggles to keep it locked it in as Judge tries to get to the ropes. Judge is about 2 inches away when Conner pulls him away and back and directly in the in the middle of the ring.)

KK: “This is to much for the big man.”

(Conner with all his strength leans back even more and it turns out to be more then Judge can handle at this time as Judge taps out! Conner then drops as Judge holds his back and Conner rolls out of the ring as his music hits.)

TB: “Judge tapped out! He made the big man tap! I seriously don‘t believe it”

KK :”Conner just won his qualifying match! I wonder who he will fight next week!”

We fade back from a commercial break and Ryan Maxem and Fudge are already standing in the ring. Maxem has a smile on his face as Fudge is taped up, and looking intensely at Maxem. . .

TB : This is the match we have been waiting for all week. . .

KK : Maxem has been keeping cool, low profile, and Fudge has plain out been exploding, bad mouthing Maxem all week and enjoying it. . .

Maxem shows off his muscles as Fudge walks to the centre of the ring and squares right up with Maxem. Maxem looks down on Fudge as Fudge starts talking to Maxem. . .

TB : Fudge showing no fear right now. . .

*RING RING*

KK : There’s the bell!

TB : And this ones underway. . .

The two men back away from one another and begin to circle. The two dive in and lock up. Maxem is easily holding Fudge off, and he throws Fudge into the corner and moves in. . .

TB : Maxems power is going to play a major factor in this match if Fudge doesn’t counter it

Maxem reaches Fudge and throws a fist, Fudge ducks and limps from the corner as fast as possible, blanking out the pain. Fudge turns around and begins laying into Maxem with rights and lefts, but Maxem grabs Fudge by the throat and launches him over the top ropes behind him. . .

TB : That’s just how fast Maxems power can change the complexion of this match!

KK : Fudge has to watch out for Maxems power, he can use it to break you down. . .

Fudge hits hard on the floor outside, as Maxem too gets out of the ring. Maxem grabs Fudge by the hair and rams his head into the ring apron, stunning Fudge enough to take him down. Maxem picks him up again and whips him to the barricade, Fudge hits and grabs his back right away. Maxem moves in and pulls Fudge up and leans him back over the barricade dropping a forearm to Fudge’s chest. . .

KK : Fudge is really gonna get his ass kicked at this rate!

Maxem grabs a hold of Fudges hair and whips him to the steel steps, Fudge hits knees first and flips over the steps. . .

TB : Maxem going after Fudges bad leg already, he has been after the lower back and the ribs most of this match, well until now. ..

Maxem moves around the steps and grabs Fudge, lifting him up. Maxem rolls Fudge into the ring, and follows. Maxem begins to kick Fudge, as Fudge tries to roll away from it. Maxem drops a leg on Fudge, who squirms on the ground, as now all injured areas have been, and are being focused in on!

KK : I don’t care what you say, Fudge aint walking away from this!

Maxem backs away as the referee backs him up, Fudge tries desperately to get to his feet, he does, after using the ropes, and everything he could to get up, Maxem moves in behind. As Maxem reaches Fudge he goes to grab his head, but Fudge throws his leg back and kicks Maxem in the groin, Maxem keels over as Fudge spins around and begins kicking Maxems legs, and punching his body and head

TB : Fudge is going to fight until he cant fight anymore, he is fighting with everything he has. . .

Fudge grabs Maxems head and as he jumps into the air for a dropkick he uses Maxems head to help him get the height he needs. Fudge connects with the dropkick, staggering the big man into the ropes. Maxem runs back and Fudge stays down and Maxem jumps over him, Fudge gets up and dropkicks Maxems knee, taking him down. . .

TB : Fudge knows how to wrestle the big guys

KK : Evidently!

Fudge jumps on Maxems back and begins driving his head into the mat, as Maxems head bounces back up, Fudge slaps his arm around the neck of Maxem and begins choking him out. ..

TB : Fudge is doing everything in his power to keep Maxem down!

KK : Wouldn’t you?

TB : Hell Yeah!

Fudge jumps off Maxem and hit’s a flip onto his back, Maxem arches his back holding it, as he does, Fudge is up and dropkicks Maxem in the side of the head. Maxem rolls onto his back and Fudge walks to the corner and ascends the turnbuckles. Maxem begins to get to his feet, as he does Fudge leaps off with a cross body, but Maxem catches him and snaps it into a power slam, he covers. . .

TB : 1. . . . .2. . . . .No! Kick out by Fudge

Maxem grabs Fudge’s hair and pulls him to his feet, he pushes Fudge chest first into the corner and hits an elbow to Fudges lower back, as Fudge leans back Maxem grabs him and sets him up on the top turnbuckle. Maxem gets on the top rope, right behind Fudge and lifts him for a back suplex. When Maxem drops back Fudge flips over him and lands on his feet. . .

TB : What athleticism!

KK : Fudge has un matched agility and he can rarely be out done!

Fudge drops to his knees and starts beating down on Maxem, who went down when he dropped back. Maxem covers his face and then starts punching up at Fudge, Fudge is rocked more by these than Maxem is by Fudges blows. . .

TB : I don’t see Fudge winning this, I really don’t!

KK : It doesn’t look like he is quitting

Fudge gets up and backs away from Maxem, as Maxem gets up Fudge leaps to the middle rope and springs back going for a super kick Maxem catches the foot and hit’s a vicious cothesline. Maxem drops to a knee and then lifts Fudge up, he picks him up into a military press slam and begins pressing him. After four presses Fudge jumps down the back of Maxem and landing on his feet chop locks Maxem, Maxem however locks his leg, so it doesn’t effect him. . .

KK : That takes some power!

Fudge looks up, we can see the white in his eye as Maxem begins to stalk Fudge, who backs into the corner. As Maxem grabs Fudge he punches him, but Maxem is pretty much un effected, Maxem punches away at Fudge and then whips him to the other corner, as Fudge connects he gets a boot up, kicking an on coming Maxem in the face. Maxem turns and walks away holding his face, as he does, Fudge runs leaps over him and tries for a victory roll

TB : Fudge going for a victory roll. . .But Maxem counters. . .

Maxem lifts Fudge back up to his shoulders and Fudge tries to fight out of the position, to no avail. Maxem drops Fudge forward, face first to the mat. . .

TB : OUCH!

KK : Yeah no kidding. . .

TB : Fudges face bounced off the mat, and Maxem is already on him!

Maxem grabs Fudge and throws him out of the ring, lifting him from on his stomach to over the top ropes, incredible display of strength! Maxem follows and grabs Fudge by the hair after a couple of kicks. He then lifts him up and sets him up for Technical Difficulties on the outside, but Fudge drops behind and lands on the apron. Fudge dives forward and nails Maxem with a flying head scissors, sending him up the aisle. . .

TB : That’s the flexibility factor, Fudge is so unpredictable!

Fudge stands before Maxem and nails a right hand and then another backing Maxem into the ring apron, Fudge steps back and runs at Maxem, who ducks and throws Fudge onto the apron, Fudge lands on the apron on his feet, and Maxem reaches up, low blowing Fudge. Fudge keels over the ropes as Maxem slides in. . .

TB : THAT HAD TO HURT!

Maxem grabs Fudge and lifts him up suplexing him backwards, and floating into a cover. . .

TB : Fudge kicks out, but Fudge has to be weakened his body has been though a lot in this match

KK : So has Maxem, I think its about ready to end here, don’t you?

TB : Pretty much

Maxem lifts Fudge up and whips him to the corner, he walks in and begins kicking Fudge in the gut, Fudge drops down to his ass after many kicks and tries covering up, he is however too weak. Maxem sets his foot on Fudges throat and begins choking him down. . .

TB : Maxem is going to all extent here to beat Fudge. . .

KK : Conner will tell you, Fudge is a hard man to keep down!

TB : After this I think Maxem knows!

Maxem releases Fudge and picks him up, he whips him to the ropes and goes for a clothesline, Fudge ducks under it though and begins to kick and punch at Maxem, Maxem reels back and Fudge whips him to the ropes, on the return Fudge leaps up for a hurricarana, Maxem catches him, but Fudge beats away at the head of Maxem, trying to rock him enough to send him down. . .

TB : This is desperation time for Fudge now

KK : Maxem really has tried Fudge tonight!

TB : They have tried each other, very much!

Fudge hits Maxem hard enough to knock the big man down, as Maxem goes down Fudge continues to beat down on him, hitting hard right after hard right, Fudge jumps up and kicks Maxem. Fudge goes to the ropes and taunts the crowd, the crowd, get behind Fudge, or are they chanting at the fact Maxem is already up behind Fudge and waiting on him. . .

TB : Oh this is not looking good for Fudge!

KK : Maxem is gonna end him!

As Fudge turns around Maxem practically throws his leg at the groin of Fudge keeling Fudge over, Maxem then grabs Fudge ready for a DDT, then he hooks Fudges arm over his head, and raises him up, for the Technical Difficulties. . .

TB : ITS GONNA BE OVER!!

As Fudge goes up he drops behind Maxem, and rolls him up. . .

TB : 1. . . . . . .2. . . . . . .3!!

KK : How?! When?! Where?!

TB : Fudge countered The Technical Difficulties!

Fudge gets up, as does Maxem quite quickly, they both stand ready to fight, but Maxem reaches a hand back calling for his belt and a microphone. . .

The referee brings Maxem a microphone and his belt, and gives Fudge his too. . .

Ryan Maxem : Look Fudge. You won tonight, but this aint over, that was a quick pin, but you earned it, and you deserve it. . .Good Luck in this thing man

The fans erupt as Maxem extends his hand. . .

Fudge thinks about it, wondering if it’s a trick. Fudge then looks at the audience who are chanting “SHAKE HIS HAND!” . . .

Fudge extends his hand and the two shake. . .

TB : Holy Hell, what respect, I never thought that was going to happen, I was sure Maxem was going to punch Fudge out. . .

Maxem and Fudge grab hands and raise each others hands, both men pointing to the other man. . .

KK: Holy shit what a night!

TB: Easy there you. I don’t know how we’ll top that last match but boom here comes another good one.

KK: Trent I know you don’t trust David Jackson but try and admit he’s made the HWA exciting again.

TB: Keith must you always suck up? Look this match is starting. Diamond sure has his hands full.

The bell rings and both Hartman and Mysterio rush Diamond but they’re both met with a double clothesline. Hartman falls and rolls away in pain but Mysterio gets up to face the World champ. Diamond gives him a head butt sending Mysterio sprawling.

TB: A Diamond clinic! Diamond is displaying championship grapplin’ is done.

KK: More of Diamond’s damn luck!

Hartman has escaped and is outside the ring and getting ready to leave and go up the ramp. Diamond gets a running start, does a few cartwheels, and leaps off onto Hartman with a triple flip plancha. Hartman is trying to get up when Diamond grabs a steel chair and brings it down on Hartman’s hand shattering it.

KK: Ow!

TB: Good god everyone in this arena just heard Hartman’s hand break!

Mysterio jumps out of the ring to land on Diamond but gets caught in a mid air Diamond cutter right on the steel chair.

TB: My god how did he do it?

KK: Steroids.

Diamond rolls Mysterio into the ring as EMTs check on Hartman. Then he gets in the ring, mounts the turnbuckle and delivers the Prism. Diamond covers, 1 . . . 2 . . . 3. . . .

TB: Thats a fairly comfortable win for Diamond, despite it being a handicap match.

KK: Yeah but he took Hartman out early in the match.

TB: Folks, remember to tune in next week. See Flames and Diamond take on FOUR othe wrestlers! What will Maxem's reaction be to losing THAT MATCH to Fudge? Will we see the next matches in the tournament? What will David Jackson do Next?! Also next week we will see what happened to the title of the damned, and we've a rumour that there may be some footage of what happened to Neil after Crash n Burn. Be sure to join us then!
