The scene opens up in the Wachovia Center for the second week in a row and the place is jumping even more. Keith Kincaid and Trent Brown are at ringside.
TB: We had such a great week in Philadelphia last week we decided to return!
KK: Yeah this is one town that understands hardcore wrestling. Wait what’s this?
The HWAtron comes on and we see Tarmen Hughson walking backstage, the crowd starts to cheer for the up and comer. Suddenly all four Legacy Department members, Grimjack, Mark, Sawyer and Carter walk up to him. Tarmen looks like he’s ready for a fight.
Grimjack: Hold on Tarmen we’re not going to attack here. We want to offer you a membership to the Legacy Department!
Tarmen: What? You want me to join you?
Grimjack: Yeah! You beat the world champion two weeks ago! Plus you might become a tag champion and X-treme champ tonight! You’re an up and comer and that’s just what the LD needs!
Suddenly though Ryan Maxem and Dylan Wolfe walk over.
Dylan: Don’t join these punks Tarmen. They’d just turn on you. Plus they’re just jobbers and scrubs anyway.
Grimjack: Don’t listen to him Tarmen! Don’t join the Militia! It’s just a trick so that he can turn on you in the X-treme match!
Dylan: I never asked him to join the Militia. We don’t even know him that well. Plus I’m not going to attack him, I want a clean match for the X-treme title.
St. Patrick and Draven Masters walk over and the crowd is cheering like nuts at this.
St. Patrick: Tarmen are these guys giving you trouble?
Draven: Yeah because if they are you got backup you know.
Maxem: Shut the hell up you guys couldn’t do shit!
Draven: Oh yeah?
Draven Masters and Maxem get up in each others faces.
Maxem: Yeah.
Masters pushes Maxem and he falls into Grimjack who immediately locks the six second magic on Maxem. Dylan sees this and goes to save his friend Maxem but Mental Mark and Brian Carter are in the way, Dylan just grabs them both by the necks and gives them a double DDT on the hard floor. Dan Sawyer starts attacking St. Patrick and irish whips him into a t-shirt stand, then Masters grabs him and body slams him through a table. Everyone is battling it out and Tarmen Hughson just walks away shaking his head like they’re all crazy.
TB: Lot of hatred among people in the HWA right now, looks like Tarmen would rather not be a part.
KK: Good luck staying out of things, he’ll learn the error in his ways in his matches.
TB: Well Tarmen has an ally in Kevin Conner at least. But we will see.
Last Man Standing Round 1 Jarred Griffin v Seth Raines
TB: Well this is for a chance at a Last Man Standing spot and these two are pretty lucky to have this I’d say.
Raines music “you’ve just been franchised plays as e comes out. Both men are in the ring and can’t wait as Raines attacks before the bell is rung with a flying clothesline. Raines starts with the boots on the downed opponent.
KK: Raines seems determined.
Raines grabs Griffin’s legs trying to slap on the sharpshooter but Griffin kicks him off. Raines falls against the ropes stunned. Griffin is up and kicks him in the gut and Raines falls under the top rope out of the ring. Griffin starts posing for the crowd but is met with boos. Suddenly Chico and Rina, Griffin’s managers, are seen walking out. Griffin starts distracting the ref Cunningham and meanwhile Chico and Rina lay into Raines with boots.
TB: This is disgusting. The Last Man Standing tournament should not be decided by who cheats the most, although it has been so far.
KK: Like I said before with Tarmen, you need allies in this business.
Chico and Rina toss Raines back in the ring. Griffin goes to lay boots into him but Raines catches his leg and trips him. Raines gets on the mounted position and is punching Griffin’s head in. Griffin pushes him off and is pissed.
TB: Griffin should have known there would be stiffer competiton in the HWA this fed is tough.
The two lock up and Griffin hits a northern lights suplex. Rained get right up pissed. Griffin goes for a kick but Raines catches the leg, trips Griffin and gives an elbow to the crotch. Griffin is in pain but Chico hops on the apron and is arguing. Raines is up and trying to get them out of there. Griffin gets up in pain but grabs Raines from behind and hits german suplex pin 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!
TB: Well Griffin goes on in the tournament but I’d have to say this is a tainted win.
KK: Hell no I like this Griffin kid already, not like Raines who has no friends. Maybe Griffin will shock the world and win the tournament as a rookie.
Commercial Break.
Last Man Standing Round 1 Kevin Conner v Syren
”King of my World” hits as out comes Conner.
TB: Look at Conner, I heard he thought Survival was on Sunday, so he barely made it here in time.
KK: What a fool everyone was told plenty of times about the change in schedule.
"Numb" by Linkin Park and Syren is walking out to a huge standing ovation, she has the HWA world title. Conner eyes it obviously wishing he had it.
TB: Well she already has the title so I don’t see why she has to win LMS, the winner getting a shot. But I think the honor is worth more than the belt. Does anyone remember anything about Danny Starr other than he won 2 LMS’s?
The bell rings and Conner and Syren circle. Syren has scouted Conner knowing he is a cerebral assasin. They charge each other and they both do somersaults away from each other.
TB: These two may be evenly matched look they both are using the same strategy.
Conner is up quick and charged only to bed met with a drop toe hold. Before he can recover Syren bounces off the ropes and hits a dropkick to the head on the fallen Conner. Conner slowly gets up but Syren is on the turnbuckle and leaps off hitting a hurricurrana.
TB: Look at this quickness, she is in her prime obviously but I haven’t even seen this style from Fudge, Conner never had a chance to stop that hurricuranna.
Conner is trying to get up but is slightly stunned. Syren charges him but he hits a desperation elbow to her nose and she falls down hard, her nose has started bleeding. The crowd is booing.
KK: Looks like she got cocky she should have known Conner has tricks up his sleeves.
Syren notices she is bleeding and it seems to anger her. She gets up mad and charges Conner hitting a spear on him although the force isn’t enough to take him down. Conner puts her head between her legs like it’s time for a powerbomb. He acts like it feels good to have a girls head between his legs and the crowd is booing. But he goes for the powerbomb and Syren uses the momentum to get on his shoulders, hop off and she hits an X-factor on Conner.
TB: Man what a move you know I think Conner was playing right into her hands there. Syren showing she can outsmart an opponent too.
Conner is obliterated and Syren covers 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!
TB: So Syren with a good win and her streak continues.
KK: I think Conner was thrown off by the change in dates although that’s his own bone headed mistake.
Commercial Break.
Brian Carter v Kamikaze
TB: This should be good Kamikaze is a rookie but Carter only recently returned.
Carter is already in the ring. Red lights slowly circle the arena, as fans wait at a sold out arena. Smoke slowly rises from the pyros as "New Locks" by D Block hits the titon tron. Boos can be heard as a figure is seen with a black boxing robe with a hood and blue boxing gloves. He walks through the smoke as he starts shadow boxing, looking at the fans and just talking trash to them. He stops at the middle of the ramp as he does small boxing hops as fireworks pop out from the pyro mixing with his music, he continues walking to the ring as he starts walking up the steps and smoke comes from the top ropes as he enters the ring and raises his arms as the back of his robe reads "Crimson-Kamikaze" in blue bold letters.
KK: Impressive entrance but we’ll see how he fights.
The match starts and Kamikaze gets Carter in a headlock and takedown. He has a headlock on the ground and lets it go getting up and he does the fast fists pose for the crowd. Carter sees him showboating and is pissed. He charges Kamikaze but is met with a massive superkick. Carter is stunned but is seemingly trying to get brass knuckles out of his tights.
TB: Kamikaze seems to have stunned Brian Carter with that last one!
Kamikaze's attention is suddenly on the crowd and not Brian Carter.
KK: What's Kamikaze looking at?
TB: Look in the front row, that man's standing up holding a "Kamikaze Sucks" sign.
KK: Not very original.
TB: But it seems to have worked, Kamikaze's getting upset.
As Kamikaze turns to focus his attention on Brian Carter, the man in the crowd hops over the rail. One of the men on security try to grab him, but he hits him in the head with the sign which falls apart.
TB: He had a stop sign all along!
KK: By why use it to take out one of the security team?
The man drops the sign and slides into the ring. The referee is busy trying to take the brass knuckles Brian Carter slipped out of his tights from him. Kamikaze is oblivious to him.
KK: He's just standing there!
Kamikaze begins to turn around only to receive a superkick. It didn't connect fully so Kamikaze is only stunned so the man kicks him in the midsection and DDTs him. He quickly rolls out of the ring as the referee turns to see what's going on. He looks confused when he notices Kamikaze on the floor. Brian Carter tucks the brass knuckles back into his tights.
TB: They have no idea what happened.
KK: And now he's running away!
The man hops back over the rail and runs through the crowd. Eventually the camera loses him.
KK: I wonder who that was?
TB: I have no idea, but at least he wasn't wearing a mask.
KK: Yeah, they really piss me off too.
Carter covers Kamikaze . . . 1 . . . 2 . . . but no Kamikaze kicks out somehow. Carter can’t believe it and thinks the count was slow. Cunningham won’t hear it. Carter pulls Kamikaze up and irish whips him across the ropes. Carter goes for a drop kick but Kamikaze holds onto the ropes and Carter falls surprised and hurts his head. Kamikaze rushes over as Carter gets up and hits a sitdown piledriver on him, his finisher the Suicidal Drop. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3! Kamikaze gets the pin.
TB: Well a good first win for Kamikaze despite some interference from someone who seems to think he sucks. But I wonder why the Legacy Department didn’t help Carter?
KK: It’s not worth their time Kamikaze is just a rookie.
TB: Yeah a rookie who just won.
Commercial Break.
The HWAtron goes on and we see Ron Royalty in his office, cheers start up at this. He is on the phone.
Royalty: Well good to hear from you . . . so when can you return to HWA then . . . next week!?! Great news, great news.
HWAtron fades out.
KK: Hmmm I wonder who is returning next week.
X-Treme Title Dylan Wolfe(c) v Tarmen Hughson
the thing i hate by stabbing westward hits as Tarmen comes out.
KK: Tarmen should have joined the LD he will soon learn . . .
"Reconnect" by Sevendust plays to the champ Dylan Wolfe coming out. He gets in the ring and they shake hands.
TB: I have to admit Dylan is a changed man. I heard his mother died, that is a shame really but seems to be a wakeup call, he isn’t the ass he used to be.
They lock up and Tarmen gets Dylan down to one knee. Tarmen hits a knee to the chin and opens up a bloody cut to Dylan’s chin. Dylan falls back stunned from it and Tarmen goes for an elbow drop but Dylan rolls out of the way and then rolls out of the ring. Tarmen sees this and runs and hops off the ropes onto Dylan but Dylan moves again and Tarmen crashes against the steel guardrail.
Dylan proving to be hard to catch.
Dylan grabs a steel chair. Tarmen is leaning against the railing catching his breath. Dylan goes to bring the chair down on Tarmen’s head but Tarmen moves and a fan behind the guardrail gets hit instead.
KK: Uh oh . . . we might get sued for that . . . oh well.
Dylan goes to hit Tarmen again but Tarmen hits a dropkick into the chair into Dylan’s head. The crowd loves it and Tarmen grabs Dylan up and irish whips him into the steel ringsteps. Dylan is just laying up against them dizzy. Tarmen runs at him and does a front flip to hit a moonsault on Dylan but Dylan moves and Tarmen crashes through the steps knocking them over.
TB: These guys are making a lot of mistakes.
Dylan is still dizzy. He picks up part of the steps and brings it down on Tarmen’s head who was trying to get up. Dylan pulls Tarmen to his feet and drags him by the head up the ramp as the fans cheer him on. He drags him all the way backstage.
TB: Well this is for the X-treme title so I guess anything goes.
Wallace Cunningham follows them backstage. Dylan goes to irish whips Tarmen into the beer counter but Tarmen reverses it and whips Dylan into it and Dylan falls over the side. The employees there who serve beers get out of the way. Tarmen hops over the side after him. He grabs a beer hose thing and forces it into Dylan’s mouth and Dylan is choking.
TB: Tarmen is trying to drown Dylan in beer!
KK: Gross Bud Light too.
Tarmen stops choking Dylan and starts using the hose to choke him. Dylan seems passed out and Cunningham does the raising his hand thing to test him but Dylan’s arm stops at three. Dylan gets up and flips Tarmen over onto the counter. Then he pushes him off it and Tarmen lands on his back. Dylan jumps off the counter hitting a kneedrop on Tarmen’s chest and Tarmen looks like he had the wind knocked out of him. Dylan pulls Tarmen up and irish whips him into the bathroom. Dylan follows him in their and grabs Tarmen and tosses him against a stall and he falls through the door onto some guy in their taking a shit. Tarmen realized he was on a guy’s lap and is disgusted.
Man on toilet: What the hell! Can I get some privacy? What?
Tamen kicks the guy in the head and he falls over with a dirty ass.
TB: How gross!
Tarmen wasn’t paying attention to Dylan and he grabs him from behind with a sleeperhold. Tarmen tries to power out of it but Dylan pushes his head into the wall.
KK: Dylan showing his submission skills.
Dylan gets Tarmen on the ground still with the sleeperhold on. He has it on for a couple of minutes and Tarmen can’t break free.
KK: Boring . . . just submit Tarmen!
Tarmen has stopped moving and Cunningham does the arm test. After three times Tarmen’s arm stays down and Dylan gets announced the winner. Dylan gets up happy but it was a tough match, he laughes how it ended up in the bathroom.
TB: So Dylan retains his X-treme belt. But it was a hard battle for both men, will they be ready for a tag team match later?
The HWAtron goes on and we see Revenge walking down the hall backstage. He seems like he’s looking for someone. Suddenly though the Legacy Department walks up.
Grimjack: Hey Revenge! How’s it going?
Revenge: You guys aren’t going to attack me again are you?
Sawyer: Naw . . . just kidding yeah we are!
The Legacy Department start beating down Revenge. Suddenly though another man runs over and starts beating on them and tosses them off of Revenge. He helps Revenge up and they start to run away.
Grimjack: Who are you! Who dares to get in Legacy Department business!!!
Man: I am Carlos Cross, I am new to the HWA!
Carter: Ok pal. How about you and Revenge versus me and Mark, next week!
Cross: It’s on!
Fades out.
TB: The Legacy Department is sure making a habit of picking on rookies lately. Maybe the most cowardly stable in HWA history.
Dan Sawyer v Breeze
KK: Well this was to be Sawyer versus Ron Royalty but Royalty was too scared.
TB: Oh you know Royalty isn’t afraid of Sawyer. Breeze just needed a match.
"Rock Superstar" by Cypress Hill as Sawyer walks out looking cocky as usual. He gets in the ring and Breeze’s music and intro hits as he comes out and they’re both in the ring.
KK: Breeze is back this should be good.
Sawyer charges Breeze but Breeze sidesteps and tosses Sawyer out of the ring. Sawyer lands on his feet though and Breeze tried jumping out of the ring and Sawyer catches him and throws him back up against the apron and Breeze hurts his back against it. Sawyer trying to use his strength catches Breeze in a bear hug. Breeze starts clawing Sawyer’s eyes and Sawyer gives him a belly to belly suplex into the steel railing.
TB: Geeze these guys don’t hold back.
Breeze is down and Sawyer rushes him but Breeze gives him a sidekick right to the nuts. Sawyer is destroyed and down. Breeze gets up looking like he has had enough he pulls Sawyer up and throws him back in the ring. Breeze gets in and gets on the turnbuckle. He leaps off hitting a body splash and goes for a pin . . . 1 . . . 2 . . . but Sawyer kicks out. Breeze is up arguing with Cunningham getting in his face. Cunningham not taking shit pushes Breeze but Breeze just laughes and punches Cunnignham knockign him out. Breeze is pissed and goes outside the ring getting a steel chair and throws it in. He gets back in and puts Sawyer’s leg in the chair.
TB: Uh oh he has placed Sawyer’s leg in between that chair, does he mean to break Sawyer’s leg?
Breeze gets on the turnbuckle and leaps off doig a flip in the air and lands on his feet right on the chair and a sickening crack is heard and Sawyer is in immense pain. Cunningham is up and Breeze puts his foot on Sawyer’s chest mocking with a pin and Cunningham grudgingly counts 1 . . . 2 . . . 3. Breeze wins but then Cunningham punches him right in the jaw and runs out of the ring. Breeze is pissed at the sucker punch. But suddenly dark organ music plays.
TB: What is this?
Breeze leaves the ring. The lights shut off and go to a purple blueish neon glow, and smoke rises from beside the ring and then there is a gong( like the undertakers song begining). Then the lights turn on and down the ramp come 6 men holding a casket (paul bearers) walk down to the ring and place the coffin in the ring so breeze at this point is like what the fuck. Breeze gets back in the ring and opens the coffin. Breeze sees a dead man with dirt all around him as if he was just dug up from his grave and breeze looks in closer and the dead man grabs breeze by the throat and the dead man steps out of the coffin and choke slams Breeze threw the ring.
TB: What a chokeslam! Wait I recognize him.
KK: Yes Danny Storm . . . yay.
Danny Storm is standing there and suddenly Cicatriz ESP hits and out comes Grimjack.
TB: Great.
Grimjack: Whoa whoa whoa Danny Storm! Looks like Dan Sawyer is out of action, he just broke his leg. So seeing as you’re so powerful do you want to join the Legacy Department?
Storm puts a voice equalizer to his throat apparently copying Kane with no voice and says in a robotic voice:
Storm: Sure.
The crapfest ends as it goes to commercial.
World Tag Team Titles St Patrick + Syren(c) v Kevin Conner + Tarmen Hughson
TB: Well apparently Sawyer hurt his leg and will be out for a while, I’m not sure where that leave the International title.
Flogging Mollys Irish song hits and both St. Patrick and Syren come out and the applause is quite large.
the thing i hate by stabbing westward as Tarmen and Conner come out next.
KK: Well Conner got destroyed by Syren earlier. And Tarmen also lost a match to Dylan Wolfe where he got knocked out cold. I don’t know . . .
The match starts and it is Conner starting against St. Patrick. Conner charges as Patrick has his back turned talking strategy to Syren. She yells to her partner and he realizes and hits a super kick on Conner. He does a front flip into a leg drop on Conner lighting him up. Then he tags in Syren and she leaps off the turnbuckle hitting a corkscrew back splash on Conner and covers 1 . . . 2 . . . but Tarmen is in and breaks up the count. Patrick charges Tarmen but is met with rights and lefs and Tarmen clotheslines him out of the ring. Tarmen goes to charge Syren but Cunningham gets in the way saying he’ll dq Tarmen and he’s not legal man.
TB: Tarmen acting like a man possesed I think the loss to Dylan earlier set something off inside him.
Syren pulls Conner up and irish whips him into the ropes and hits a drop kick on the way back. She tags in Patrick. Conner is trying to tag Tarmen but Patrick drags him by the foot away. He then slaps on the four leaf clover his submission move. Conner is in great pai and looks like he may tap. Tarmen sees this and starts to get in. Syren recognizes and gets on the turnbuckle leaping off hoping to intercept Tarmen before he can break the move. Tarmen sees this and barely dodges. Tarmen clotheslines Patrick off of his partner. Patrick is up and pissed and starts punching Tarmen and they both fall out of the ring. Outside the ring Tarmen irish whips Patrick into the steel steps and Patrick has hurt his shoulder.

She gets out of the ring and Patrick tags her in. But Conner gets up and diving tags in Tarmen. Tarmen gets in the ring and starts after Syren. He grabs her up and gives her a huge powerbomb out of nowhere. Suddenly though Cicatriz ESP hits.
TB: Oh geez not ruining a good match again?
The Legacy Department run down, it is Grimjack, Carter, Mark and new member Storm.
TB: What a motley crew.
Grimjack is on the apron yelling. Cunningham gets in his face saying they’d better leave now. Carter, Mark and Storm slide into the ring and go after everyone. But Tarmen, Patrick and Syren start fighting together and they beat the shit out of the LD. They each clothesline someone out of the ring at the same time and the crowd loves it.
TB: What a backfire.
Patrick and Syren were watching the LD and Tarmen hits a huge superkick on Patrick from behind and he flies out of the ring. Then he grabs Syren and gives her a rock bottom. He covers 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!
KK: Backfire huh?
TB: What do you think they wanted Tarmen to win?
KK: Yeah to show him that he should join them.
TB: Well anyway Tarmen pins the world champion for the second time in three weeks. And he is a tag champion although Conner didn’t really do much here.
Tarmen and Conner walk up the ramp pleased.
Commercial Break.
The show comes back and suddenly “Purple Haze” hits as out comes David Jackson to loud boos. He doesn’t care and is in the ring with mic in hand.
Jackson: Yes whatever. Now I have to announce some things. There will be second round Last Man Standing matches next week. First Dylan Wolfe vs. St. Patrick. Then Jarred Griffin vs. Draven Masters. Next Ryan Maxem vs. Mental Mark. Also we were to have Dan Sawyer vs. Syren. But he got an ankle injury and is being too scared to face a girl. Also she is world champion but I’m not sure yet what to do on this. Dan Sawyer was also going to face Kamikaze like he wanted but once again, he is too afraid to face him. There will be Tarmen Hughson vs. Seth Raines. Brian Carter will tag up against newbies Revenge and Carlos Cross. And Breeze will face newcomer Johhny Scibelli. Now then Last Man Standing will be March seventh. Like I said Sawyer ran so I’m not sure where that leaves the international title. There will also be St. Patrick vs Dylan Wolfe for the X-treme title in a cage match.
Suddenly though Land of Hope and Glory hits and out comes Ron Royalty with a mic. He gets in the ring as the crowd cheers his name.
Royalty: Jackson mate, those are some paltry announcements. How boring. So I have come out here to upstage you with this announcement . . . I talked to Tristan Wolfe on the phone earlier . . . he returns next week!
The crowd is chanting Tristan’s name.
Jackson: Very well, fun news. Makes no difference. Too bad though, that Syren lost his tag team belt for him by tagging with the slack jawed St. Patrick! Otherwise I would have forced a match of Tristan vs. Patrick to be her partner, and if they refused they are fired!
Royalty: Well no need anyway . . .
Suddenly Cicatriz ESP hits and the boos rain down as Grimjack walks down.
Grimjack: Jackson you forgot one Last Man Standing match! Me versus Royalty! Did you forget the fool put the deed to HWA on the line. Soon as I win and own HWA you’ll all be fired and the name will be changed to the LDWA . . . you can guess what that stands for.
Royalty: In your dreams you dirty hippy. I admit I am risking a lot but I’m not worried. Besides, if you lose you must retire and never return!
Grimjack: Well good thing Jackson never announced it, because I can’t wait anyway! Let’s do it right now!
Grimjack attacks Royalty with rights and lefts and gets him in the corner and is cheating with chokes. The crowd is booing loud at this. Royalty falls down and Grimjack pulls out some brass knuckles. Jackson is cheering him on telling him to hit Royalty with them. Grimjack looks like he’s going to and then turns around and smashes Jackson in the face with them.
KK: What why did he hit Jackson is Grimjack changing his evil ways!
Royalty stands up and is confused as to why Grimjack did that. But then Grimjack turns around and hits Royalty with the brass. Grimjack poses for the crowd as both Jackson and Royalty are out. Suddenly Draven Masters and St. Patrick are running down the ramp to stop this and Grimjack runs out of the ring as they slide in. Grimjack escapes through the crowd as they are helping up Royalty.
commercial break
HWAtron is on and we see St. Patrick and Syren in their locker room.
Syren: Why would Tristan call Ron up and tell him he’s returning? And not me?
St. Patrick: No idea Syren. I’m sure there’s a good reason. But hey I have a match, tagging with Draven Masters. So I gotta go.
Patrick leaves with Syren sitting their looking slightly angry.

TB: My god both LD members were just devastated!!!
Meanwhile Draven and Patrick have grabbed two tables and they toss them into the ring.
TB: The match last week between Maxem and Patrick denigrated into somewhat of a TLC match. I wonder if it is fresh in their minds and they will use it to their advantage here?
Masters and Patrick slide into the ring and attack Maxem and Dylan. Masters grabs Maxem and irish whips him into the ladder in the corner. Maxem stumbles back only to be met with a DDT from Masters on the table which isn’t set up yet. Meanwhile Patrick and Dylan are going at it.

Meanwhile Grimjack and Danny Storm are outside the ring helping Carter and Mark up as they slid out. Grimjack is yelling to get their asses back in the ring and win.
TB: Wait what’s this . . . Masters is on the turnbuckle . . .
Masters leaps off out of the ring onto the entire LD below with a moonsault. He gets up yelling trashtalk and gets back in the ring as the fans love it.

TB: Ok so Carter is eliminated but Mark is out too.
Carter slides out of the ring and the LD helps him out. Grimjack is pissed and slides in the ring with a steel chair. He decks Masters with it. Dylan runs over to stop him but Grimjack turns around and smashes him with the chair too. Suddenly “Land of Hope and Glory” hits as Grimjack’s main enemy Ron Royalty runs down and slides around and before Grimjack can turn around Royalty clotheslines him down. Grimjack is back up but met with punches from Royalty and he knocks him out of the ring. Royalty follows out the ring. Mark and Storm try to stop him but Royalty takes them both down with hard punches. Grimjack is fighting back with punches but Royalty knocks him over the guardrail into the crowd. Royalty follows and they’re battling through the crowd as the fans love it.
TB: My god this is chaos Grimjack and Ron Royalty have disappeared through the crowd and who knows what is happening. Wait Dylan has set up both tables in the ring.
Dylan grabs Patrick to his feet but Patrick fights back with hard punches and takes Dylan down with a DDT. Patrick gets an idea and pulls Dylan up as he is out and lays him on a table. Patrick goes and gets on the turnbuckle obviously with a plan to jump onto Dylan on the table. But Dylan gets up and runs over and up, then he hits a massive superplex on Patrick right through the table.
KK: Wow Patrick is destroyed.
Dylan puts an arm over Patrick for a cover . . . 1 . . . 2 . . . but Masters runs over and kicks him off. Maxem is finally up and picks up a steel chair. He swings at Masters but Masters ducks. Then he hits his arm breaking chokeslam on Maxem right on the chair.

Both Patrick and Maxem appear to be outcold at this point. Dylan gets up and he and Masters start trading rough blows. Dylan irish whips Masters into the ladder in the turnbuckle. Masters is leaning up against it and Dylan rushes to hit him in the corner with a big boot but Masters moves and Dylan kicks the ladder hurting his leg. Masters gives him a headbutt sending him down. He covers . . . 1 . . . 2 .. . Dylan kicks out. Meanwhile Patrick is getting up despite the helacious superplex. He is sort of out on his feet. Masters is up and upset that Dylan kicked out. Patrick taps him on the back to let him know his partner is here and Masters turns around quick thinking it is Maxem and lays him out with a hard punch. Draven is shocked he can’t believe the accident.
KK: Yeah right he meant to do it!
TB: That would make no sense it would be much easier to win with his partner here, look Maxem is out and so it’s up to Dylan on the Militia.
Dylan gets up and Masters is ready. They circle and the crowd loves it. They lock up and somehow it turns into a test of strength as their hands lock up.
KK: Oh this should be good who is stronger?
Masters is getting the upper hand on Dylan but Dylan hits a knee to the gut and then turns it into a snap suplex. Masters is down tired and Dylan grabs the ladder and sets it up. He lays Masters on the table that is still up and starts climbing the ladder.
TB: Dylan will send Masters to hell!
Dylan is at the top of the ladder but Masters gets up and starts climbing the ladder too. They are both at the top of the ladder and trading punches as the crowd loves it.
TB: This is great what will happen?
The ladder is starting to rock back and forth due to all the battling going on at the top. It almost falls over a few times and the crowd is holding their breaths. Then Dylan grabs Masters head and rams into the top of the ladder and it finally starts to fall over. Dylan tries to hop off but Masters grabs his arm and he can’t. They both fall off the ladder right through the table. Then the ladder falls on them to add to the injury.
TB: Jesus . . . they both not only went through the table but the ladder fell on the . . . . looks like they’re both out.
Cunningham sees they are both out cold and does the mandatory count . . . 1 . . 2 . . . he keeps going and they don’t even flinch. . . . 9 . . . 10! He declares a draw.
TB: Wait! A draw? But the winner was to get shots at any title they want not the world title. So what happens?
Then Land of Hope and Glory hits and the cheers are amazing as Ron Royalty walks out. He has cuts and scratches on his face but it is assumed he got the better deal as Grimjack is not seen. He has a mic.
Royalty: Now this was for sure a great match, and Dylan and Draven both deserved to win! So since they were the last ones standing . . . heh heh . . . they may both have the right to choose title shots to get, both Maxem and Patrick may not. I think that is fair.
Masters and Dylan are just starting to get up and despite haziness they hear this and look like hell yeah. Masters gets up and offers to shake Dylan’s hand. At first Dylan doesn’t seem sure but then he accepts.
TB: Good showing of respect and sportsmanship, it was a good match.
KK: Disgusting. What happened to Dylan, he would have never shook hands with Masters. And what happened to Maxem he is still out cold? Terrible.
TB: Well I disagree. Anyway tune in next week to see more great matches as the Last Man Standing continues! Who knows what Grimjack will do next? And more exciting rookies will debut.
