The show opens on the door of the HWA President Sett, the fans are cheering and, he's standing leaning right up against his door. The fans get louder.

Sett: Tonight on Survival, we have a X-Treme Title Match, the return match of Michael Diamond, and the announcement of who the current HWA Heavyweight Champion Kevin Conner is going to fight at Pride!

The fans cheer for the jam packed Survival.

Sett: Now I don't want to waste any body's time.....

A familar voice is heard screaming at Sett, its the voice of Kevin Conner

KC: HEY wait a minute. I got something to say to you. You walk around here like you run things.

Sett: I do run things around here.

KC: Correction I run things, see you can play your games last week, but its time to put up or shut up. I'm issueing you a challenge at Pride!

Sett: Kevin, I will kick your ass anytime you want, but you already got a title defense

KC: I'm aware, but see it wont be against me, its a surprise! Now I know your scared and you don't have to answer right away. I know you'll probabky end up saying no beacuse you don'twant to hurt yourself, or is your ego to big and it will get in your way. Have fun being president while it lasts, because its not going to last for long!

Conner walks away laughing and the camera comes closer to Setts face who just looks at Conner walking away and the Survival get rolling

RR: Who the hell has Conner got lined up for Sett?

KK: Who knows. The question is though, will Sett accept the blind challenge?

RR: Well folks we're kicking off with what was actually scheduled to be our main event this evening. This one will be for the X-Treme Title!

"Immortal" by Adema hits and Kevin Hurts makes his way down to the ring. Once more he holds the X-Treme and also the International Titles over his shoulders.

KK: Kevin looking extremely arrogant again tonight.

RR: I've got to agree Keith. It's almost like he's taunting Michael Diamond by wearing that.

Hurts reaches the ring and hands his belt over to the referee. Next, "Reconnect" by Sevendust hits. The fans cheer, waiting for Dylan Wolfe, who in recent weeks had stepped up his game in the face of the NGW threat. There is no sign of Wolfe though. Hurts starts talking animatedly to the referee. The referee shrugs, and then Kevin slaps him. The ref falls on the floor. After a moment of recovery, he is up again. Kevin grabs his shirt and shouts at him to begin the count. The referee reluctantly starts the count.

1-2-3-4-5

RR: Where the hell is Wolfe?

6-7-8-9-10

KK: Aw, this is just shit.

The bell rings and Kevin Hurts celebrates in the ring like he's just won gold at the olympics.

RR: This is wrong. Wolfe is here tonight, i've already seen him.

Ron gets up from the table, casting his headset aside. He walks quickly up the ramp, a cameraman follows him up. They go through the curtain, and there, Kevin Conner and Pocket Change are beating the living shit out of Wolfe. Royalty immediately flies into action, trying to protect Wolfe but from out of nowhere, Bigg Money leaps in with a steel chair and before long all hell is unleashed. Backstage crew and Referees eventually break up the fight, but it's too little too late for Wolfe. Royalty wanders in to the medical area to get some ice as we go to a pre-recorded segment.

An image of a hallway is shown on the HWATron as the words "Earlier Tonight..." appear in the lower right hand corner. The fans in attendance and those watching from the comforts of their own home pay close attention to the screen, awaiting to see what transpires within this hall that makes it so crucial to be shown. A few more moments pass as the fans begin to get restless when then, from around the corner, comes a man. Not just any ordinary man, but "Your Hero" Michael Diamond. Though this was recorded earlier and he has no way of hearing their cheers from the future, the fans still give Michael a standing ovation as he makes his way through the backstage area, decked out in an expensive suit and wearing a pair of sapphire-tinted shades, his duffel bag full of gear slumped over his shoulder. Michael has a warm smile on his face as he makes his way around the back, greeting personnel with handshakes and head nods. But Diamond comes to a halt at an junction in the hallway as he is intercepted from both his right and left side by the Thomas twins. Michael's gaze goes to the right to Kayle, then across to his left to Kristin .

Michael Diamond: Well if it isn't my very own personal angel and devil on my shoulders. Kayle, always good to see you again. And Kristin... uh... you look...

Michael cuts himself off in mid-sentence as he looks over at Kayle.

Michael Diamond: I forget... am I allowed to call your sister a "slut" on national television?

Kayle stifles a chuckle at Kristin's expense as Kristin stares daggers at Michael. The fans, too, share a laugh as a small "Diamond" chant starts up among the masses. "Your Hero" simply shrugs it off as his patented million-dollar smile formed across his lips.

Michael Diamond: So... what can I do for you ladies?

Kristin Thomas: Well Michael...

The angry expression that had previously been present on Kristin's face disappeared as she slipped into "search and seduce" mode. Brushing up against the side of Michael, she placed her hand across his chest as she looked up into his eyes.

Kristin Thomas: I was actually hoping to conduct an interview with you tonight before your match with Shawn Clover, you know... alone. Away from any annoying distractions. Just you... and me.

Kayle rolled her eyes as Michael nodded his head in understanding.

Michael Diamond: I see... and you Kayle. What's your, um, position?

Kayle Thomas: Well, I'm pretty much after the same thing as my dear sister Michael.

Michael's eyebrow peaked up at this, believing to have gotten himself into a precious situation involving the Thomas twins.

Michael Diamond: Oh?

Kayle Thomas: There's a story here that needs to be told, Michael. One that, I think, wound interest your fans a lot more then it would my Kristin.

The fans cheer to this as Kristin quickly speaks up.

Kristin Thomas: Oh I don't know about that... Michael does have a way with words.

Michael shakes his head as he slithers his way out of Kristin's grasp.

Michael Diamond: Tell ya what, I'm in a rather good mood tonight. After all, tonight is my big return to the squared-circle. So like I did last week with Hurts, I'm going to propose something that has never been done before in the HWA. Are you girls ready?

The two nod their heads as Michael Diamond flashes the million-dollar smile once more.

Michael Diamond: Tonight, right here - right now... we're going to have a two-on-one interview with "Your Hero" Michael Diamond! That's right! A little ménage à trois if you will. Now then, who wants to get this thing started? I'm a very busy man, you know.

Kayle Thomas: Well if I may... last weekend, you shocked the world when you returned and made it known that you were gunning for Hurts and the recently retired International Championship. My first question is... where have you been for these past two months?

Michael Diamond: Well I haven't been dead, if that's what you're asking. Yes, there was some major health issues the last time I stepped into the ring but all of that has been taken care of now and, to tell ya the truth, I feel great - better then I've ever felt before. As for me being dead, that was nothing more then a rumor - a rumor that happened to spread like wildfire. I'm sorry that it even happened and I apologize to all my fans for the heartache that it may've caused them but, hey, from a professional standpoint - I don’t think there's anything better then returning "from the dead".

Kristin Thomas: If you ask me, it was just another one of your hoaxes, probably to dodge taxes or something.

Michael cast a sidelong glance over at Kristin, one of those "are you seriously insane?" looks on his face.

Michael Diamond: Yes, because a man of my stature and wealth would seriously have problems with tax returns and the IRS.

Kayle Thomas: Moving on, like I stated earlier - you challenged Kevin Hurts to a match at the next PPV for the International Championship. What do you hope to accomplish by beating a man for a title that's no longer in circulation?

Michael Diamond: What I hope to accomplish is simple Kayle, I want to officially retire the International Championship so that it still has some dignity in-tact. Hurts may have a bright future ahead of him and, yeah, he may be apart of this new wave of next-generation wrestlers but already there are two things that he shouldn't have done... one, aligned himself with Kevin Conner. And two, never-ever disrespect a title belt - no matter how far down the ladder you may think it is. Because when you disrespect a championship, you disrespect all the champions that came before you.

Kristin Thomas: But no even remembers you as an International Championship. The only thing you're remembered for is being a Tag Team Specialist and the fluke World Champion.

Upon hearing this, the fans boo – showing their support for “Your Hero”. Michael simply shakes his head in shock as a sly grin graces the curvaceous lips of Kristin Thomas.

The Michael Diamond: Fluke World Champion?

Kristin Thomas: No one holds onto a title, let alone a World Championship, for four months Michael. Not in this business; not in this day-in-age. Everyone knows that your "Longest World Title Reign" was nothing more then a transitional joke.

This insult was enough to force Michael's smile to disappear as he slowly pulled his shades from his face. Glaring over at Kristin, Michael appeared about ready to explode - unleashing a flurry of fists on the interviewer that would be nothing more than a page out of the NGW playbook. Folding up his sapphire-tinted glasses, Michael tucked them into the collar of his shirt as he turned his attention to the camera in front of him, his eyes burning with intensity. The fans could tell the seriousness of the matter as they continued to boo Kristin’s words, while some started up a “slut” chant.

Michael Diamond: You're right Kristin, people don't recall the days when I wore the International Championship proudly and with honor. Those were the days of the FoS, the days when I was nothing more then Danny Starr's shadow. He was the leader, I was the follower. And as a result, he's in the Hall of Fame... and I'm not. Now any issues I had with Starr where settled the last time we were in the ring and I'm not going to make this a point about him. Fact is, people can think what they want about me and they can think what they want about my title reigns here in the HWA... but I think my record pretty much speaks for itself.

Kayle Thomas: That being said, Michael... tonight, newly appointed HWA President Ryan "Sett" Evans has declared that a #1 Contender for Kevin Conner's HWA World Championship will be appointed. Your history with Sett has been well documented and, it's been said, that the two of you are like brothers now. Do you have any idea who he plans on making the #1 Contender?

A smirk came across Michael's face as he seemed to relax a bit following the insult from Kayle's twin sister. The fans, too, quieted down a bit, their interests peaked on what Michael had to say.

Michael Diamond: Knowing Sett, it could be anyone. Ron Royalty did pick up a clean pin-fall victory on Conner last weekend, so maybe it's the aging veteran. I hear Trent Brown is recovering nicely from his injuries suffered at the hands of the NGW so maybe the announcer will be looking for some payback. Or maybe even Sett will coax Billy the Bear out of retirement for the Championship bout. Now I know I just got back into the swing of things and maybe I don't deserve a #1 Contendership right away but you better believe that if Sett awards me that honor, I'll be ready. There's nothing else like being the HWA World Champion because in that moment, you're the best. And I know I can beat Conner - hell, I had to put my World Title on the line against him three weeks in a row. And three weeks in a row, I beat him one... two... three. But the decision's not mine. I can only make the best of the situation and roll with it. If I get the shot, then I'll make the most of it. If not, then I still got Kevin Hurts to deal with.

Kayle Thomas: It seems that you've set your sights on the NGW. Does that mean the group should expect a retaliation from HWA superstars?

Michael Diamond: If you're asking me if I'm going to form a coalition to take care of the NGW then no... you've got the wrong guy. Dylan Wolfe happened to be a victim of circumstance last weekend, just like Judge this weekend. Yeah, I came down and "saved" Dylan last weekend but that's just because I'm a nice guy. I feel for Judge and his 3-on-1, I really do... but it's not really my problem now, is it? The fact of the matter is this Kayle... as annoying as they may be... they don't pose a threat to me. And to put my money where my mouth is... I'm officially opening up a challenge to the NGW. Next week, on Survival, I want a gauntlet match with Conner and his boys. And one-by-one, they will fall to me.

The fans cheer at this notion, having not seen a gauntlet match in the HWA in quite some time.

Kristin Thomas: Do you really think she cares about all this?

Michael turned and looked back at Kristin, glaring at her as it had been the first time she had spoken up since insulting Michael's World Title reign. The fans cheers died down now, their curiosity getting the better of them.

Michael Diamond: What are you rambling on about now?

Kristin Thomas: Come on Michael, I see right through you. The whole reason that you're doing all of this - why you've made it your mission to take on the NGW by yourself - is because of Erin Wallace.

The fans cheered at this, remembering when Diamond and Wallace were a couple. Michael looked down, as if secretly contemplating this fact, as a smirk came across Kristin's lips.

Kristin Thomas: Your bitter because she ran back into the arms of Kevin Conner instead of you. And even after all you had done for her following the incident with David Jackson...

Michael Diamond: Are you done?

Kristin Thomas: What's wrong Michael... hit a nerve?

Michael Diamond: Erin's a grown woman, she can make whatever choices she sees fit. In my opinion, she can do better then Conner... but that's just my opinion. We're done here.

Michael trudged past the camera and out of view as Kayle looked down the hall after him, where-as Kristin chuckled to herself. Kayle turned her attention to her twin sister, a bitter look on her face as she was clearly upset that she didn't get to continue her interview.

Kayle Thomas: Way to go... bitch.

The fans cheered loudly as Kayle stepped off camera while Kristin stood there in shock at what her sister had just called her.

"Points of Authority (Remix)" by Linkin Park hits and the entire arena erupts as "Your Hero" Michael Diamond makes his return to the ring after a long absence. A "Diamond" chant quickly gets underway. Diamond makes it into the ring and nods his head in respect to his many thousands of fans. Diamond prepares for Clover, bouncing off the ropes a few times.

"Jump Around" by House of Pain hits and the HWA's most popular underdog runs down the ramp and into the ring. Ron Royalty has also returned to commentary after his brawl with the NGW earlier.

KK: How you doing Ron?

RR: I'm fine, don't worry about me, we've got a match to call - Michael Diamond is BACK!

Michael locks up with Shawn Clover and quickly gets the switch around to Clover's back. Diamond hits Clover with a crisp suplex. Clover hits the mat hard. Next, Diamond climbs the turnbuckle.

RR: Surely not.... it's too early....

Sure enough, Michael Diamond hits The Prism (Top Rope/Swanton Bomb).

KK: Holy SHIT!

Michael hooks Clover's leg 1-2-3 and it's over already.

RR: Wow. Just Wow. Diamond has not lost a step.

KK: Incredible! The guy nearly died too....

Diamond throws his arms out wide as his fans go nuts, but its a short lived celebration as Conner and Hurts come running down to the ring and attack him.

KK: Whats the NGW doing down here!

Diamond tries to fight back but the two on one is too much for him. They give Diamond a "snap shot" type move and then throw him to the outside and Conner takes a mic.

KC: This is my time right now, you see coming up next are HWA President, Sett, is going to name the number one contender for my HWA World Heavyweight Championship! And Here's the thing, it doesn't matter if its Bear, if its that Michael Diamond, if its Trent Brown, or if its even YOU RON! We all know last week was a fluke and you could never beat me one on one. But before I even know who I will have to make look great, I already have the match picked out. From the brain of "The Celtic Warrior" Kevin Conner and for the first time ever the HWA world will witness the first ever New Generation Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. And next week I will tell you the rules to this match and they will blow your mind.

Conner drops the mike and the NGW return to the back to a whole heap of boos. Ron Royalty goes over to check on Diamond as we go to a commerical break.

That familiar song, “Vultures” by the Offspring, plays over the PA system, and Sett makes his way to the ring, with much less pomp and fanfare than his original revelation as the HWA’s President. He’s got a mic in his hand, and a grin on his face. The crowd is going wild, cheering on their fan favorite president the entire way down the ramp, as he climbs over the ropes and comes to a stop in the ring, looking out in to the crowd for a moment. He raises the mic to his lips, and the crowd, taking the cue, lessens in their intense fervor, allowing him to speak.

Sett: So how’s everyone doing?

The crowd roars in approval.

Sett: Yeah, I’m glad to hear it. Everyone like the number Ron and I pulled on the NGW last week?

The crowd’s cheers rise even higher than before.

Sett: Well, as much fun as that was, I’ve got an even bigger shock for you tonight. Tonight, right now, in fact, I am going to name the Number One Competitor for the HWA World Heavyweight title!!!

The crowd cheers loudly, but not quite as crazily as before. It’s as if they are all captivated and truly interested in hearing who the next man who’ll be receiving a World Title shot is.

Sett: And so, without further ado, I give you, YOUR HWA World Heavyweight Title Top Contendor!!

The lights dim, as odd screeching sounds begin to the play over the PA. The crowd is confused, until those screeching sounds start to take form, making more sense and becoming the ever so familiar guitar riffs of Metallica’s “Fixxxer”. The crowd jumps in excitement, as the smoke clears, so to speak, and the lights raise up, and Danny Starr himself stands on the stage. The crowd screams, giving him possibly an even bigger reaction than they gave Sett just two weeks ago. Starr has a microphone in his hand. He raises it to his lips and begins to speak.

Danny Starr: I told you I would win Last Man Standing, didn't I?

(DS is interupted by the chants of the enthusiastic crowd: Danny Starr! Danny Starr!)

TB: Wow! Danny Starr getting positive feedback? Hell must've frozen over.

Danny Starr: But that day is gone... today is a new day. A new dawn... a new generation of wrestling...

(The crowd boos)

Danny Starr: Of course, I am not referring to the 3 clowns, one of which that carries around the World Championship calling himself the wrestling (pause) God.

(Conner sucks starts repeating in a chant)

Danny Starr: My friends... I have come back to the HWA with a receipt from LMS 2005. This receipt I will turn into President Sett... and in return receive my rightfully earned HWA World Title Shot against Kevin Conner... at Pride.

(The crowd erupts)

Danny Starr: As you are well aware, Michael Diamond is alive and well... and he and I have now put everything behind us... together, with President Sett... and Ron Royalty... The Foundation of Sensation will rise once again to show this New Generation of Wrestlers... a taste of HWA's true legends.

(The crowds erupts once again.)

Danny Starr: At Pride... it will be your HWA 3000 World Champion... Kevin Conner...

(Boo)

Danny Starr: Against... "The Sensation" Danny Starr...

(The audience explodes in excitement.)

Danny Starr: Count your blessings, Conner... Because in a month... you will be swallowing your pride. Thank you.

Starr raises his arms in triumph, basking in the crowd’s glow. He then turns to leave as “Fixxxer” plays over the speakers once more. RR: My GOD thats HUGE!

KK: Conner versus Starr! I bet Conner won't like that one bit!

RR: You know thats true.

KK: Conner has this special match though. Do you think that will work in his favour?

RR: Sure, it's bound to give him an advantage. But this is DANNY F'N STARR we're talking about here! KK: Wait just one second.

RR: What?

KK: Did you just see that?

RR: Erm!

KK: Syren! Syren was in the audience. I SWEAR I just saw her in the audience there, looking on as Starr made his return

RR: I think you're seeing things Keith....

RR: Now folks it's time for our main event, and this should be an intersting one. This match was booked last week by the HWA owners. We know next to nothing about them, but they are seemingly throwing their weight around when it comes to booking matches. This one though seems incredibly unfair. It also suggests that there may be some possible alignment between HWAE and the NGW. Is this fact? No. Is it possible? Anything's possible.

KK: How about this though. Perhaps its not about an alignment WITH the NGW, but AGAINST Judge?

RR: It's possible, but remember they also fired Morgoth. I am failing to see a link between these things.

"November Rain" by Guns 'N' Roses rings out as the HWA Legend, Judge, appears at the top of the ramp. The fans cheer him and he steps down the ramp and into the ring, ready to accept the punishment that the 3 on 1 match would surely bring.

The NGW's music hits and not only do Kevin Conner, Pocket Change and Bigg Money appear at the top of the ramp, but Kevin Hurts also.

RR: What the hell?

KK: Kevin Hurts!

RR: Like the NGW needed HIS help in this match.

The NGW make it to the ring. Kevin Hurts remains at ringside and the other three get into the ring. Looks of supreme confidence and smugness on their faces.

KK: This is going to be a massacre.

RR: I wouldn't be so sure Keith.

The NGW all stand in the ring waiting for the bell. Wallace Cunningham tells them that only one will face Judge at a time. They complain, but in doing so, Judge strikes, clotheslining Bigg Money straight over the top turn buckle and out of the ring comletely. This fires up Conner and Change though, who leave Cunningham alone and turn their attention to Judge. The two men hit Judge with a double clothesline, sending Judge down onto the mat. They hit double elbows in tandem, both to Judge's chest. Next, Change holds Judge down, while Conner fires himself off the ropes and drops a leg drop over his neck.

RR: The NGW aren't messing around now. They're finally starting to show what they're capable of.

KK: HWAE brought this match for us, and it's sick. It's not right.

Judge starts to fight back. He manages to throw Pocket Change off, and block Conner's next attack. Referee Wallace Cunningham manages to regain control of the match, and Pocket Change is the legal man. Change opens up with an attempted spear, but Judge does a half side step and then DDT's Change to the mat. Judge attempts the pin 1-2-kickout.

KK: Too early for the pin there.

RR: Worth the try though from Judge's perspective, Change could've been knocked out, such was the force from that DDT.

Judge doesn't have time to stand back up though as he is met by a drop kick to the chest from Kevin Conner. Judge's body hits the mat hard and many of the crowd are audibly shocked with the sheer force.

RR: Judge is really taking a pounding out there.

Kevin Hurts gets involved next, pulling Judge to the edge of the ring, and landing elbows on his head, neck and chest. Simultaneously, Conner and Bigg Money are holding Judge down, preventing him from moving this.

KK: Look! Pocket Change is on the top turnbuckle! He's going for the Here's Your Change!

RR: I don't THINK so.

Ron throws off his headset for the second time tonight. In one motion he runs to the ring, leaps onto the apron, and then pushes one of Change's legs to one side, causing him to fall, split legged onto the top of the turnbuckle!

KK: Fantastic! Pocket Change is given the nut-cracker there by Ron Royalty!

Ron turns to Kevin Hurts next, taking him down with a spear. This allows Judge to escape from being held down by the NGW. He throws Bigg Money to the other side of the ring, and then advances on Conner. Conner slides out of the ring, underneath the bottom rope, and is still walking backwards away from Judge when he stops, having walked into something.... Everyone else in the arena had seen the same dreadlocked man from last week climb over the guard rail and onto ringside. Conner slowly turns around, and looks right into the face of the man.

RR: Who the hell IS this guy Keith?

KK: I've no idea Ron.... I'm sure that logo... didn't it say something about... Bear?

Bear nails Conner right in the face, he turns around but only finds himself getting another face filling, this time from Judge. Judge picks up Conner and throws him back into the ring. Judge re-enters the ring now, leaving Bear watching his back at ringside. Back in the ring now Judge once more faces the NGW. Biggz and Conner advance on Judge. They look around for support, but once more, unseen by the cameras, Ron Royalty had made his mark. This time he had managed to pull Pocket Change out of the ring, and is holding him at ringside in a choke-like move. Bear is holding Hurts at ringside too. Judge sees its down to 2 on 1 and meets Biggz and Conner. He double clotheslines them, and then sends Biggz flying out of the ring for a third time, this time via a baseball slide. Next, he drops three quick elbows on Conner before setting him up for the Wrath Of Judgement. The Wrath is hit, and Judge rolls up Conner 1-2-3 and it's over!

KK: YES! HE DID IT! JUDGE BEAT THE NGW! Ok, so it wasn't QUITE single handedly, but he DID IT!!!

Suddenly, the arena goes black.

KK: Hmmm, what is it THIS week?!

The following appears on the HWA tron.
