November 9th, 2003
New Orleans


The scene opens up inside the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans to a a modest crowd and Keith Kincaid and Trent Brown are ringside. Fans are still filing in.

TB: Well it’s good to be back folks. We had some financial problems and that explains the absence from HWA TV for the last few months but come what may we are back and—

KK: Enough of that Trent the people at home don’t care, we’re all wondering who is in charge now and what the new status quo is!

All of a sudden “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix hits.

TB: I think we’re about to find out, and I don’t think we’re going to like the answer much.

David Jackson walks out to loud boos wearing a pinstripe black suit. He comes down to the ring ignoring the boos and gets in and pulls out a mic.

Jackson: Well well well what have we here? Yes I know you all hate me but you don’t know what’s good for you anyway. After all not only are you . . . (makes a throwing up face) Americans . . . you’re also southerners. You remind me what I despise about you all. Anyway you wankers should be cheering me, because I’m running the show now!

TB: What! Again!!! How is this possible???

Suddenly a song hits that people are unfamiliar with, but it is “Cicatriz Esp” by The Mars Volta. (OOC: The Mars Volta is made up of members of At the Drive In, which broke up, who wrote “One Armed Scissor”, Grimjack’s old music.) Out walks Grimjack to loud cheers.

TB: Well here is Grimjack getting cheered but I guess that understandable given the scum in the ring.

Grimjack gets in the ring and pulls a mic out of his pocket.

Grimjack: I thought I made it clear at the last HWA show, when I busted you with a bardbwire bat, that you’re not welcome in the HWA! HWA has been mine for 18 months! I’M IN CHARGE!

The crowd starts chanting “GRIMJACK GRIMJACK GRIMJACK” and Jackson has to wait for them to quiet.

Jackson: Grimmy old boy . . . why do we have to fight? Join me . . . we could rule together.

Grimjack: Never . . . you had Mark’s house blown up, you almost killed Craven, Conner, Fudge, all of them!

Jackson: That’s unfortunate that you feel that way . . . that act was necessary. But you are not “in charge”. Not anymore. You’ve run the HWA into the ground for the last time. Neil himself has given me full control to . . . “counter” . . . you reckless actions. I am a business man and I will make decisions which are good for the company instead of “popular” decisions which are what you always did. Now then, you are stripped of the presidency but since I am feeling generous today I’ll offer you your old position as wrestler, you can except it or get the hell out of my arena now what will it be?

Grimjack has a look of shock on his face.

Grimjack: I don’t believe a word you’ve said, now I’m going to talk to Neil.

Jackson: Fine, talk to Neil, he’ll just say what I just told you.

Grimjack walks out of the ring and goes back up the ramp in a daze almost.

TB: This can’t be happening.

KK: Trent it’s true you know, Grimjack ran the HWA into the ground that’s well known. Thankfully Jackson finally has full control.

Jackson: Now then, there will be sweeping changes but that will be announced later. For now my first act of president is to suspend Erin Wallace!

TB: What!

Jackson: Erin has a problem . . . which has been brought to my attention by Dan Sawyer. You can come back when you’ve proven yourself Erin. Now I will retire to my office for tea.

”Purple Haze” hits as Jackson walks back up the ramp to a chorus of boos.

Commercial Break

Blue Thunder v The Mexican Dream

TB: Now we’re about to witness a man who helped create the HWA, unlike this piece of trash David Jackson! Blue Thunder was vice president here in the beginning!

KK: I remember that but where has he been all this time?

TB: He has had his own life unlike you Keith!

Out walks the huge Blue Thunder, 380 punds although he has lost weight, obviously still huge and the largest man in HWA presently.

TB: He looks impressive as I remember him.

Out comes the Mexican Dream El Sueño Mejicano.

TB: The next in a long line of great mexican HWA wrestlers can he prove his hype and live up to this against and HWA legend? He is smaller than Thunder. This guy is an enigma so far, word in the locker room is that when he talks he doesn’t make any sense.

The bell rings and Thunder goes for a clothesline that the Mexican ducks and drop kicks him in the knee. Then he bounces of the ropes and takes Thunder down with a swinging neck breaker. Mexican slides out of the ring and grabs a chair while Thunder is down.

KK: What is this?

Mexican slides back in with the chair and goes to hit Thunder with it but Thunder gives him a big boot to the chair that hits Mexican instead. Wallace Cunningham calls for the bell but Purple Haze hits up and out walks David Jackson as the fans are booing.

Jackson: Wait just a minute. Thunder, don’t you like challenges? Of course you do, you’re an HWA “legend” so how about we make this a no disqualification match. So carry on.

Thunder looks pissed as Jackson is at ringside now and Mexican hits Thunder to the back of the head with the chair and he goes down to one knee.

TB: This is unfair!

KK: Legends should be able to adapt.

Mexican goes to the top rope and leaps off for a flying clthesline of some sort but Thunder catches him by the throat and hits a choke slam. Before Thunder can capitalize David Jackson is in the ring with brass knuckles and hits Thunder to the back. Thunder stumbles but doesn’t fall, he turns and sees Jackson and fear is in Jackson’s eyes and Thunder chases him out of the ring. Mexican is up and charges Thunder with the chair but Thunder side steps it, boot the gut and a huge powerbomb follows. Thunder covers . . . 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!

KK: Thunder wins but with a lot of cheating!

TB: Yeah by David Jackson! What is his problem with Blue Thunder and what is his connection to the Mexican Dream!

The HWAtron comes on and we see Kevin Conner arriving at the arena in the parking lot getting out of his car. He gets out and starts walking to the door when Erin Wallace comes out in tears. Conner stops her.

Conner: Erin wait! What’s wrong?

Erin: Kevin! Oh I’m sorry! They suspended me! I have to leave I’m sorry!

Conner: What? Why? That’s bullshit!

Erin: . . . I’m sorry I just want to go home. Don’t worry about me Kevin!

Conner: Worry? You’re damn right I’m going to worry, you’re one of my best friends. I’m going to get to the bottom of this don’t worry.

TLC Match Evan Blane v Dan Sawyer

TB: I still don’t understand why Erin was suspended, I’ve worked with her a long time and she’s the best in the business, hopefully Conner will get to the bottom of this.

KK: Well I hate to speculate but I’ve heard rumors about her . . .

The arena goes to complete black as Head for the barricade starts to echo through the place 5 sec. in to the song laser start beaming everywhere then the lights explode back on centered on Evan on the rampway as Evan walks to the ring he slaps hand and does the normal good face thing but when he gets in to the ring he means business.

TB: The rumors were true folks, Evan Blane is back!

KK: Hey the people have a right to know!

Dan Sawyer walks out next but before getting in the ring he points to the ceiling and a suitcase is held from a rope lowered down.

KK: Whoever grabs that case wins this match, now a ladder is needed for that but tables and chairs can be used as well in this match. My pick is Dan Sawyer he owns.

TB: Ok but look Sawyer was seen with none other than Danny Starr this week, folks we can’t trust that scoundrel and therefore I am loath to trust Dan Sawyer. I hope Blane takes him out with the trash here. Blane has unfinished business with Starr and says he will deliver a message to him through Sawyer, take that how you will.

Sawyer is in the ring and the bell rings. He goes after Blane, Blane ducks a clothesline, Sawyer bounces off with a flying elbow to the sternum. He pulls Blane up and throws him out of the ring. Blane lands on his feet throw with stunning ability and as soon as Sawyer hops out of the ring he is hit in the head with a chair which is legal in this match. Blane pulls him up and hooks both arms then does a tiger powerbomb on the chair and Sawyer looks out of it.

TB: Double underhook facebuster on the chair. Well it looks like Sawyer made one small mistake in this match and is going to lose, Blane just grabbed the ladder and has to but set it up to claim a win.

Blane has the ladder set up in the middle of the ring then looks over at Sawyer starting to get up outside the ring. He goes back out there.

TB: Blane still wants to deliver a message to Starr but I have to question the logic in this here.

Blane grabs a table and brings it in the ring and sets it up. He pulls Sawyer to his feet, Sawyer responds with punches to the gut but a knee to the face shuts him up. Blane tosses him back in. He lays Sawyer across the table. He climbs the turnbuckle and goes off with a leg drop but Sawyer moves and Blane crashes the table injuring his back and is in agony.

KK: That fool never underestimate Dan Sawyer.

TB: Yeah Chewie has proven himself time and again.

KK: Do you ever shut up?

Sawyer sees his chance and runs up the ladder and quickly grabs the suitcase.

TB: I can’t believe it Sawyer just won but it’s Blane’s fault!

Sawyer takes the suitcase and opens it.

KK: What? That’s a . . .

TB: Cream pie?

There was a cream pie in the case. Blane is getting up and Sawyer smashes the pie in his face. Blane falls to the ground writhing in agony and clutching his throat.

TB: What? Why would a pie hurt so much?

Sawyer gets a mic.

Sawyer: That’s no ordinary pie fool! It was made with poison! Ha ha ha! That’s your message from Starr!

EMTs rush into the ring to save Evan Blane as Sawyer walks away laughing. The HWAtron comes on. We see David Jackson in his office on the phone.

Jackson: Yeah it's all under control. The situation has been taken care of. No he's not going to cause you any trouble. Trust me on this one ok?

Suddenly the Mexican Dream walks in.

Jackson: Oh listen, I gotta go Mexican has just come to tell me how great they are! I'll call you back man!

The scene goes to a locker room where we see Grimjack and Mental Mark sitting talking about something. Grim is drinking a Lowenbrau beer. Suddenly Kevin Conner bursts into the door.

Conner: Grim there you are! I want to know what the hell is going on with—

Conner notices Mark.

Conner: What is he doing here? Nevermind it doesn’t matter. Why the hell is Erin Wallace suspended?

Grimjack: Man I don’t know! Something fucked up is going on. Neil put David Jackson in control and I can’t get Neil to return my calls! Look we have to just bide our time and figure out what’s going on.

Conner: What? Bide our time!?! What are you on? There is no time! Let’s go tell Jackson to fuck off right now?

Grimjack: Hey watch it, until we know the situation I think it’s best to—

Conner: You know forget you. You’ve become a pussy Grim.

Mark gets in Conner’s face.

Mark: Watch it Conner.

Conner: You watch it psycho. Just give me a reason. Now get out of my way.

Grimjack gets up.

Grimjack: Now wait a minute guys. This is probably what Jackson wants, us to be fighting.

Conner: I don’t care what anyone wants. I’m sick of these stupid games. Forget you assholes.

Conner leaves. Mark and Grim look at each other. The scene goes down the hall where Wallace Cunningham is seen talking to someone, but we don’t see the other person’s face as he is wearing a mask. The man gives Cunningham something from his coat pocket and Cunningham takes it. Scene goes back to ringside.

TB: Who was that masked man? Well I’ve been informed that the hardcore title match is postponed as both Alex Mysterio and Unknwon Ninja have no showed! But that’s fine because this next match is much more exciting, if anyone besides Fudge wins they get a title shot next week!

Kevin Conner v Fudge v Sean Moore v Buck Naked

"King Of My World" by Saliva plays, out walks Conner looking pissed. He gets in the ring and pulls out a mic.

Conner: I just wanted to say to Fudge it’s time to own up . . . I’m going to get a shot at your belt because no one deserves it more, and after this match I’m going to find David Jackson and beat the hell out of him until he reinstates Erin Wallace. That’s it.

Conner throws the mic out of the ring. "Meet the Creeper" by Rob Zombie hits and out walks Sean Moore. He gets in the ring and looks at Conner. Smooth by Carlos Santana plays and Buck Naked walks out.

TB: Buck was brought in by Jackson, he set the bomb to blow up Mark’s place.

Suddenly "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath hits and the lights go out.

TB: Wait what’s that? Isn’t that . . . I recognize that music . . .

KK: No . . . it can’t be . . .

The lights go on and we see Breeze standing in the ring. The crowd is going nuts hceering for him.

TB: Holy . . . Breeze! But why?

Breeze has a mic. Finally the crowd dies down.

Breeze: I bet you’re all wondering what I’m doing here?

KK: Yeah we are.

Suddenly Breeze rushes Buck Naked and spears him down with the Lightning Strike. Buck is down on his knees and Breeze gives him The Fear (Harlem Sidekick) and Buck is out. Moore and Conner are just watching in shock. Breeze wipes some pretend sweat off his forehead ad acts like that was nothing. Then he looks over at Moore. Moore looks a little scared but Breeze puts his hand out as if to shake. They shake hands but the Breeze gives Moore a boot to the gut followed by the Game Over (Double Underhook Facebuster) and Moore is out.

KK: What is he doing, who does he think he is?

Breeze bounces back up and picks up the mic. He gets in Conner’s face and the crowd is going nuts.

Breeze: I did what I just did because those two clowns fighting for the HWA title is a joke and it sickens me. They’re a waste of space and don’t belong in the HWA. Conner, you’re ok. Good luck against Fudge, you’re gonna need it. Now I’m back. And I want a handicap match against these two wastes of space next week!

The crowd is going nuts chanting his name as EMTs are carting Buck and Moore away. Breeze leaves the ring and Conner looks confused but then doesn’t care. Suddenly though Cicatriz ESP hits and Grimjack and Mental Mark are walking out. Mark has a baseball bat and goes to where Sean Moore is on the stretcher and pushes the EMTs away. Then he starts beating Moore down with the bat.

TB: What the hell is this? Wasn’t that Game Over enough for Moore, he has to take a bat attack from Mark? I thought they were friends in the Clash?

KK: Moore is weak, only the strong survive.

Mark is laughing and leaves Moore a beaten bloody mess and Him and Grimjack go to ringside.

KK: I guess they’re watching this match.

"Whisper" by Evanescence hits and the crowd pops for Fudge as he walks out with the HWA title.

TB: The HWA title isn’t on the line here but if Conner wins it will be next week. This is perhaps the greatest rivalry in HWA history so this should be good.

The bell rings and they circle one another. They lock up and Conner gets Fudge in an arm bar. He twists Fudge around and pushes Fudge into the corner. He has Fudge’s arm and hops on the turnbuckle, does a flip and lands on his feet twisting Fudge’s arm hard and Fudge is in pain.

TB: Wow what agility by Conner there, teaching Fudge a lesson in his own style too!

Conner gets on the second turnbuckle and leaps off with a kneedrop to Fudge’s already injured shoulder. Conner covers Fudge for a pin and Cunningham counts really fast and Fudge barely kicks out.

TB: Was it just me or was that count fast?

KK: Seemed ok to me.

Conner is still arguing with Cunningham thinking the count was slow but Fudge uses this chance to go for a DDT on Conner but Conner blocks it and pushes Fudge down. Conner gets Fudge on the ground and starts punching him, then he gets Fudge to his feet and takes him to the corner and puts him on the turnbuckle. He leaps off with Fudge’s head in his arms and hits a stunner off the top turnbuckle. Fudge is down on the ground and Conner starts grinding his foot into Fudge’s throat but Cunningham for some reason doesn’t see it as he was looking at someone in the crowd.

TB: This is no fair, Conner is cheating!

KK: Fudge is looking out of shape, a mess.

Conner pulls Fudge up and irish whips Fudge but Fudge reverses it and bounces off the other ropes and hits Conner with a flying sidekick. Fudge gets on the ropes and with such speed hits the Fudgesplash and goes to pin Conner. Cunningham counts kind of slow and Conner kicks out and now the crowd is booing loud. Suddenly Grimjack gets on the ring apron and is yelling something. Cunningham gets in his face telling him to get out of the ring.

KK: Get out of there Grimjack you fool!

Mental Mark slides in the other side. Conner is up and Mark kicks him in the gut and goes for the Strait Jacket but Conner hops off of his shoulders and hits a kick to the gut followed by the Soul Searcher on Mark. Grimjack hops off the turnbuckle seeing this and Cunningham turns and Conner is down to tired. Fudge sees his chance and goes for another Fudge Splash off the turnbuckle but Conner slides out of the way and Fudge misses. Conner goes to the turnbuckle and leaps off with his own splash, the One of a Kind and hits it on Fudge. Conner covers, 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 the fast count and Conner wins.

KK: The one! The greatest! The Infamous!—

TB: Shut up moron look Conner hurt himself too he’s clutching his ribs.

Conner pulls himself to his feet with his ribs hurt. Mental Mark all of a sudden attacks him and hits the Strait Jacket on him. Mark is yelling trash talk at Conner and Grimjack is in the ring. He is yelling something at Mark.

TB: Thank God Grimjack is yelling some sense to Mark.

Mark pulls Conner up and Grimjack gives him the Exodus and Conner is out and the crowd is booing.

KK: Ha ha, yeah, he was yelling at him to get Conner up so he can get a move in.

Cicatriz ESP hits as Grimjack and Mark walk out to loud boos.

TB: I’m confused as hell now. Why did Grimjack and Mark attack Conner?

Commercial Break.

David Jackson is seen on the phone in his office, suddenly the Mexican Dream comes flying through the door and lands on the ground and the door is broken. Kevin Conner walks in looking pissed.

Conner: Jackson I want answers now.

Jackson: Anything Kevin my friend, please sit.

Conner: I prefer to stand. Now tell me why Erin Wallace was suspended.

Jackson: I’m afraid that was something that couldn’t be helped. The HWA has to keep a family image and we can’t have drug addicts here.

Conner: What! What are you talking about? Erin Wallace is no drug addict!

Jackson: I’m afraid it’s true. She’d been abusing prescription painkillers after some episode in her personal life some months ago. But listen. Perhaps we can work out some deal to get her reinstated.

Conner: What are you talking about?

Jackson: You are in an enviable position after that last match Kevin. Think about it . . . the president, the HWA champion, what a team we could—

Conner: Did you have something to do with Cunningham acting out of wack in that match? Because I don’t need your damn help to beat Fudge. I don’t need anyone’s help.

Jackson: I had nothing to do with—I don’t know what you’re talking about. But think about my proposal . . .

Conner: Whatever.

International Title Jason Craven v Mental Mark

TB: Well Moore is stripped of the International title I guess so Mark or Craven will get it here.

"Juggalo Anthem" by Blaze Ya Dead Homie hits and out walks Marl with Grimjack. They get in the ring and are acting cocky. They pull out mics.

Mark: I bet a lot of you are wondering why we beat up Conner.

Grimjack: Well me and Conner go way back but lately he’s been letting his emotions get the better of him. If he gets his act back together we may let him back in the club but . . .

Mark: Right now this club is only for us psychos. Now then though. My opponent, Jason Craven, is pretty crazy. After I beat his ass, which I’m obligated to do, we’ll invite him to join us!

Grimjack: Because it’s become apparent that in this day and age you’re nothing in the HWA without backup. I mean, look what happened to Conner!

Craven’s sick music plays and out he walks to a mix of cheers and boos and he has a mic.

Craven: You know . . . I’ve been through a lot of shit to get here. I’ve gone through injuries and things you wouldn’t even understand. Why would I waste all of that time just to join you two bozos?

Crowd cheers loud as Mark and Grim look pissed and Craven slides into the ring and goes after Mark. The bell rings. Craven gets Mark into the corner with hard lefts and rights and is going on adrenaline. He irish whips Mark to the other side so hard that Mark falls down and slides out of the ring and Craven is pumped up with the crowd on his side. Grimjack is telling Mark something and he slips Mark something that he slips into his pocket.

TB: That looks like Grim slipped Mark brass knuckles and no one saw!

Mark slides into the ring and locks up with Craven. He headbutts Craven stumbling him over. Craven rushes back but Mark gets a drop toehold. He pulls Craven up and gets him on his shoulders.

KK: Strait Jacket already?

But no it’s a DVD. Craven gets up and rushes Mark with a punch but Mark blocks it catches his hand. Craven punches with the other but Mark catches that and starts the double underhook headbutts. After about twenty he let’s Craven go and Craven falls to the ground stunned. Mark covers but Craven kicks out. Craven is up and Mark can’t believe his resiliency. He starts punching Craven but Craven is undaunted and goes for a kick, Mark catches his leg but Craven hits a sidekick with the other leg and Mark is down. Craven gets up and pulls Mark to his feet and hits a superplex. Mark is up but Craven hits a clothesline.

TB: Good god Craven is on a role and looks like the Craven of old!

KK: I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Grimjack is on the apron yelling at Craven and Cunningham is over yelling at him.

TB: Where have I seen this, oh yeah Grimjack already did this tonight.

Suddenly though the crowd goes nuts as Kevin Conner appears from the crowd and grabs Grimjack and german suplexs him off the apron onto the steel railing and Grimjack is out.

TB: Hell yeah a little revenge!

Mark sees this as his chance, Cunningham is still looking outside the ring and Mark pulls brassknuckles out of his pocket and hits Craven with them. He covers and Cunningham turns and counts . . . 1 . . .2 . . . 3! Mark rolls the brass knuckles out of the ring.

KK: Mark with the good win is now International champ!

TB: Good win? He cheated!

Conner is in the ring and goes after Mark with hard punches. He gets him in the corner and is beating the hell out of him. Suddenly though “Purple Haze” hits and out walks David Jackson to loud boos.

Jackson: I see we have three men in the ring right now, three men who will be in the battle royal for number one contendership tonight! So let’s start it, everyone else in this match, get out here if you want a shot! Pins and submissions count as well as over the top!

Battle Royal

Suddenly Dan Sawyer, Mexican Dream, Evan Blane, and Blue Thunder come running out and slide in the ring as the crowd is going nuts. Sawyer and Blane square off, Conner and Mark keep going at it, Thunder goes after Mexican Dream while Craven is still down.

TB: This is HWA at it’s best folks.

Craven is starting to get up when Thunder chokeslams Mexican right on his back and he’s down again. Thunder turns and sees Sawyer tearing Blane up and goes and grabs Sawyer and German Suplexs him and Sawyer is devastated. Blane gets up and jumps of Thunder’s back with a sleeperhold. Conner sees this and spears the big man and they all three fall to the mat.

KK: Blane got help from Blue Thunder and how does he repay him? Well it is every man forhimself I guess.

Blue Thunder is up and pissed and grabs Blane and tries to throw him over the side of the ropes but Blane holds on and slides back in. Meanwhile Mexican is looking around confused after the chokeslam.

TB: What a way to show this kid how the HWA is, but I think he’s up to the task, imagine getting a world title shot in your first day in the HWA!

Mexican Dream isn’t looking and Conner catches him with a massive superkick that sends him flying out of the ring and onto his head and Mexican is eliminated first as the bell rings signifying it.

KK: You were saying Trent?

TB: I guess I spoke too soon.

Jason Craven is just getting up and Mark gives him the Strait Jacket. Mark covers for a pin 1 . . . 2 . . . but no Conner breaks it up.

KK: Why is Conner breaking up the pin?

TB: Maybe he just doesn’t want Mark getting the satisfaction, or maybe he is teaming up with Craven?

Mark is up and looking pissed and goes after Conner with hard rights and lefts. Craven pulls himself to his feet with the ropes and sees that everyone is trying to send Blue Thunder out of the ring as he is the biggest man. Blane and Sawyer are stopping their battle for a moment to get him out but he’s still to heavy. Craven comes over and helps but Conner knocks Mark down and he falls into Craven’s legs and they lose momentum and Thunder falls down back into the ring on Craven’s head.

TB: My god how much more can Craven take?

Thunder gets up and pulls Craven to his feet by his neck and then chokeslams him over the rope and out of the ring.

TB: My god what a chokeslam and now can anyone stop Blue Thunder?

KK: Conner thinks he can.

Conner is on the top turnbuckle and jumps off with a dropkick to the back of Thunder’s head and Thunder falls into the ropes and almost falls over but steadies himself. He goes after Conner but Conner ducks a clothesline and kicks Thunder in the balls and hits a DDT. Conner gets up but is immediately met with a clothesline over the ropes by Mental Mark and Conner is eliminated.

TB: Well Conner is eliminated but he gets a title shot next week anyway, he really wouldn’t have won anything here anyway.

KK: Besides pride. Look Conner is pissed off, probably because he was eliminated by Mark.

Dan Sawyer runs up behind Mark and hits him with a low blow and Mark falls to his knees. Blane runs over and hits a knee right to the nose and blood is flowing out. Blane covers Mark . . . 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!

TB: Why the hell are Blane and Sawyer working together?

KK: That looks short lived, they’re locked up now. But look at this.

Mark slides out of the ring and is immediately met by Conner who found the brass knuckles and is beating him with them. But Grimjack appears with a bardbwire bat and hits Conner with it and is helping Mark to his feet. Back in the ring Sawyer has Blane in the corner and is mudhole stomping him and yelling obscenities at him. Thunder is up and looks around noticing it’s just him, Sawyer and Blane now. He grabs Sawyer from behind. Sawyer goes for a kick to the balls but Thunder catches his foot and smiles like you ain’t fooling me again. But then Blane is up and clotheslines Thunder down. He starts stomping on Thunder and Sawyer grabs Blane from behind and hits a German Suplex. Blane gets up dazed and is met with a clothesline over the ropes.

KK: So now it’s down to Sawyer and Blue Thunder. I never would have seen that coming.

Thunder is up and is punching Sawyer into the corner. He is choking Sawyer in the corner.

TB: I’m impressed at Sawyer for making it this far but Thunder may be too big for him to get out of the ring.

KK: He can still pin him or make him submit though.

Sawyer is getting choked out and close to passing out when adrenaline hits him and he uses all his strength to push Thunder off. He starts punching Thunder with rights and Thunder is surprised. They battle across the ring to the other side and Sawyer charges Thunder and tackles him and they both fly out of the ring and fall out. The crowd is going nuts.

KK: What happened who fell out first???

David Jackson comes out to loud boos. Blue Thunder is holding his arms up like he won and Sawyer is too.

Jackson: This looks like a photo finish. Let’s look at the instant replay to determine this, that’s fair right mates?

The HWAtron goes on and shows Thunder and Sawyer falling out of the ring. It’s close but it’s clear that Thunder’s feet touch the bottom a split second before Sawyer does. Sawyer starts jumping up and down for joy and Thunder looks pissed.

Jackson: Well that’s it then. After Conner gets his shot next week, Dan Sawyer is number one contender, Blue Thunder is number two contender, and Evan Blane is third in line!

Blue Thunder grabs a mic.

Thunder: Hey Sawyer, you did good. But I wanna know something. I wanna know who the real better man is between us. It's one thing your feet touching the floor a millisecond after me, but I gotta know who is the better in the ring. How about next week - you and me - one on one - mono a mono - have you got the balls?

Sawyer: Blue Thunder my man, you KNOW I've got the balls for it, you're ON!

TB: Wow so not only do we have the huge Conner versus Fudge for the World title next week, we have Blue Thunder versus Dan Sawyer to see who the better man is! Breeze will take on Buck Naked and Sean Moore! Besides that, what is going on with Conner and Mark, and Grimjack? What is Breeze doing? Will Erin Wallace be reinstated? Is the Mexican Dream working for David Jackson? Who was that masked man Wallace Cunningham was talking to? What side is everyone on? Well we’ll find out next week for now this is Trent Brown with Keith Kincaid signing off!

Scene fades.
