6WF Ascension Results 6th November 2012

*The show begins with Miss Jessica sitting in her office, looking extremely angry. Jerome Dubois and Scorpion are stood on the opposite side of the desk.

Jessica:Last week wasn’t good enough guys….you like so totally let me down..

Dubois: I can explain Jessica….I did everything you asked, it iz not my fault that “others” messed up…

Scorpion:Hold on just a damn minute….you’re the one that lost the match Dubois, you screwed up…

Dubois: Preeposterous…you had one seemple task….

Scorpion: And you lost…

Jessica: ENOUGH!

*Both men turn to face her

Jessica:This is totes not good enough…I had to clean up all that mess last week and provide evidence to the Board of Directors that I am competent enough to run this show….I picked you two because I thought you would serve me well…

Dubois:We will Miss Jessica…

Scorpion:That is what we are here for…

Jessica: Good, then listen up and listen good……we can draw a line under last week and forget it ever happened, aslong as you two are ready to make my plans become reality…

Dubois:Whatever you need…..

Scorpion:Just say the word…

Jessica:I can’t be like having Ascension not under control….I need everyone to totally respect my authority and that is your first task….that means keeping things in order…..and that means doing whatever you can do in order to make sure everything changes around here….

Scorpion: How do you mean?

Jessica:Like hello Scorpy, welcome to the show…..I do not want Cobra as my champion any longer…I am like on the cusp of b1tch fitting out of control….

Dubois:Then consider it done….we will do whatever you need doing….won’t we?

*He turns to Scorpion, who eyes Dubois with dislike before nodding his head

Scorpion:Anything you want…

*Jessica shrieks with glee and claps her hands together

Jessica:I like totally knew I could count on you two…and believe me, you help me, and I will so help you…

*She bites her lip seductively and bends over so that the her cleavage is on show

Jessica:So let’s talk business…because I have so much to talk to you about….wait just a moment….

*The phone begins to ring and Miss Jessica picks it up

Jessica:Hello….yes,speaking……what can I do for you?.....oh really?......well yes, I could be very interested indeed……please talk to the man at the front desk and have him escort you to me….ok, thankyou….

*Jessica hangs the phone up and his eyes are glinting with malice

Jessica:We could have a very big opening here……listen to this…

*Scorpion swings the office door shut and the cameraman is locked outside. The sound of murmured voices can be heard from inside as the scene changes to ringside.

*An amazing pyrotechnics display opens up the show. Colours of the rainbow flash high up into the rafters and explode before “Time to shine” echoes out of the sound system. The camera pans around the arena and there is an almost full to the brim capacity crowd inside the Birmingham Bowl, and they are making a lot of noise. The picture then switches to the announce area at ringside, where Jeff Thadeus is sat alongside Paul Salisbury.

JT:Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another jam-packed edition of 6WF Ascension…coming to you live on Sky Atlantic from the sold-out Birmingham Bowl…I am Jeff Thadeus, alongside my broadcast colleague, Paul Salisbury….and Paul, what a show we have lined up for tonight…

PS:You said it Jeff and I can’t agree enough….three matches signed…..a tables match on the horizon….aswell as a mega six man tag team main event…..this is going to be one hell of a night…the number one professional wrestling show around right now, the most competitive brand in the industry….and we are live and exclusive for the next 90 minutes….

JT:Sit back and relax folks because this is going to be a show to remember….we are slowly taking our rightful place in the spotlight of this industry…..each week we are getting better and better….which means tonight is going to be somewhat of a special event…..we may only have three matches to offer, but they are going to be three stellar contests that you will not forget in a hurry….so get ready…..because this is Ascension, and this is wrestling…

PS:Lights on bright baby…let’s do this…

Match 1
Jimmy Phillips vs Lex Hart

The crowd in the arena rise to their feet and cheer loud as “Cold Ash” echoes out and red pyrotechnics accompany the arrival of Ohio native, Jimmy Phillips.

JT:Singles competition to start us off here this evening…..and a re-match of a contest we saw three weeks ago on Ascension, our debut show….

PS:That night Jimmy Phillips made a statement of intent here in 6WF, he took out Lex Hart in style….tonight he gets another chance..

JT:Phillips came up just short in his quest for the AWF Championship at War, he then fell victim to Scorpion last week and finds himself in need of victory here tonight if he wants to keep himself in the hunt for a championship match at Born in Fire…

PS:It’s an added bonus this month…not only does the leader of the Ascension league get to fight for the AWF Championship, they also get to compete on the grandest stage in all of sports entertainment….

JT:But Phillips has a big test ahead of him here tonight….Lex is slowly rejuvenating himself….

PS:Lex is still yet to win a match since his return to 6WF though, and he suffering from a broken nose….still weighs in Phillips’ favour…

JT:Maybe so….but Lex Hart isn’t going to come in with that mindset, he will believe he can win without a doubt…

Phillips throws his t-shirt into the front row and walks towards the ring before jumping up onto the apron, causing fireworks to explode from all four turnbuckles. He climbs into the ring and flexes his muscles for the crowd before bouncing back off the ropes as “Be myself” echoes out of the speakers…

PS:Lex still has that protective covering across his nose to help mend his broken bone…

JT:But Hart still continues to compete, so his rehabilitation will be slower than somebody who was getting ample rest…

Pink and green pyros explode into the air as Lex Hart strides out into view, wearing his trademark pink trunks. Lex has focus in his eyes but directs his sight towards the floor as he makes his way down the ramp. The crowd are mostly booing, but some cheers become audible as Lex gets to the ring…

PS:Lex is still a villain to all these fans in this arena but that does not seem to be changing his outlook…he claims to have changed his ways…

JT:Maybe he has, we just don’t know for sure….and until we do, I don’t think Lex can expect to win everyone over….he knows that and I think he is content with what he is doing right now….

Lex climbs up the steel steps and into the ring before stretching against the ropes and then faces Phillips. Both men exchange a staredown as the referee speaks to them and reads them through what he expects.

PS:Phillips and Lex’ rivalry stems back to CWA when they clashed in a very personal confrontation…..since then Lex has tried to change his ways, but I don’t think Phillips is buying it…

JT:And you can understand his hesitation….Lex made Phillips’ life hell in CWA, he isn’t just going to accept that Hart has changed his ways…..but that is something that I am sure they discuss at a later date, right now they have a match to focus on….

PS:And you can see the focus….

Phillips and Hart nod at the referee in understanding before walking back to their respective corners and wait for the bell to sound. The timekeeper taps the bell and the referee signals the start of the contest. Hart and Phillips circle each other before locking up in the centre of the ring…

JT: Two very contrasting styles….the power of Phillips against the technical prowess of Lex Hart….

Lex slides around the back of JP into a waistlock but Phillips throws a quick back elbow and twists his way free. Phillips drives a knee into Hart’s stomach and looks for a vertical suplex but Lex floats over the back of his opponent and pushes him against the ropes before nailing a dropkick to perfection on the comeback…

PS:Nice leap from Lex right there…

They get back to their feet and Hart looks for a hiptoss but Phillips keeps his footing and drills Lex with a thunderous short armed clothesline in reply. Hart staggers back up to his feet and Phillips scoops him onto his shoulders before running him towards the turnbuckle…

JT:Snake eyes…

Lex drops off the back and he pushes Phillips, chest-first, into the turnbuckle before beckoning him back out and connecting with a bridging german suplex………………………….1…………………………….2……………shoulder up. They get back to their feet and Lex kicks Phillips in the stomach before running off the ropes and returning with a twisting neckbreaker……………..1…………………………..2……………….JP kicks out!

PS:Nice start from Lex Hart in this match….

JT:But can he maintain such a perfect beginning?....because Phillips can explode at any moment….

Lex pulls Phillips back up and looks for a suplex, but JP drops back down and pulls Hart into a small package……………………….1……………………………………2……………………..shoulder up. They get back up their feet and Lex scores with an immediate spinning heel kick before running towards the ropes…

PS:LIONSAULT!

Lex springboards onto the ropes and then floats back into the moonsault, only for Phillips to roll away. Lex shows great athleticism to land on his feet but barely has time to do anything else as Phillips is up and charges at him…

JT:OH MY!

Phillips charges straight into Lex (Monty Brown’s Pounce) and sends him flying backwards into the ropes,causing Hart to get tangled in a heap and then fall out onto the apron. Phillips beats his chest and follows Lex over to the ropes and drags him back up…

PS:That was serious impact right there from Jimmy Phillips…..and now he’s looking to follow it up..

Phillips lifts Lex up into the air and suplexes him back into the air………………………..1……………………..2……………….shoulder up. JP then gets to his feet and he drops an elbow into the chest of Hart before climbing out onto the apron and beginning to scale the ropes…

JT:It’s not often we see Jimmy Phillips take a risk like he is doing here…

PS:You got to take the risks in the Ascension league….you just have to…

Phillips waits for Lex to reach the top rope and then flies from the top, taking the Canadian off his feet with a huge shoulder tackle. Phillips then gets back up to his feet and he pulls Lex towards him, connecting with a sickening gutwrench powerbomb…………………………………1………………………………………2……………………….shoulder up.

JT:Phillips has a huge foothold in this match now….Lex Hart didn’t want to give that up…

PS:And with that facial injury, and the quickening of the pace, Lex could struggle with his breathing….

JP drags Lex up by his protective mask and hits him with a belly to belly slam before running off the ropes and returning with a big jumping legdrop across the throat……………………1…………………….2…………Lex kicks out. Both men get back to their feet and Phillips’ takes Lex down again with a northern lights suplex……………………1……………………..2…………………….shoulder up.

JT:Such a close call and Phillips looking favourite now for those all-important five points…

Phillips pulls Lex up by the head and irish whips him into the turnbuckle before following up with a big clothesline. He then ushers Lex out of the corner and scoops him onto his shoulders…

PS:Death…

Lex elbows his way off the side and then leaps into a dropkick but Phillips catches his legs and drops him onto the mat before slingshotting him into the corner…

JT:Great improvisation from Lex Hart…

Lex lands on the second rope and dives onto the top rope before twisting back into a crossbody takedown on Phillips…

PS:Jeez…

JT:Is there no feat of strength this man is not capable of?

The crowd are on their feet and applauding as Phillips rolls across the canvass and then back onto his feet with Lex in his clutches. JP nods his head and smiles as the crowd show their support and then he clatters Lex with a huge fall away slam…

PS:What a scary move that was…

Lex holds his ribs and back as he staggers back up to his feet and Phillips bench presses him into the air before dropping him into a sickening spear/spinebuster combo……..

…………………………shoulder up!

JT:I was certain that was a three count right there…

PS:Lex just finding the energy to kick out……and I mean just……

Phillips looks a little disappointed as he gets back up to his feet and breathes deeply. Lex is clearly feeling the pace as he tries to get back up to a vertical base, but has difficulty in doing so…

JT:Lex’s body is wracked in pain here….i’d be surprised if this match goes much longer…

PS:He just needs to find something….somewhere…

JT:Phillips has this lined up….TOUCHDOWN!

Lex staggers back up and walks straight into JP, who looks for his trademark “rockbottom”, only for Hart to counter with a jawbreaker. Phillips staggers away in pain and Lex quickly seizes him around the waist and connects with a release german suplex…

JT:Lex needed that……..it was a move born out of desperation but he won’t mind….he needed all of that…

PS:Now he needs to find a second wind if he can…

Lex clings to the ropes and pulls himself back to his feet before taking a couple of moments to catch his breath. Jimmy Phillips is already back up on his feet and Hart lashes hard knife edge chops into the chest of his opponent before looking for an irish whip….

JT:Phillips’ too powerful…

JP reverses the whip and sends Lex off the ropes, only for Hart to dive into a springboard and float back with an incredible crossbody takedown…………………….1…………………………..2……………………shoulder up. They get back to their feet and Lex kicks JP in the stomach before hitting a vertical suplex……..

PS:Lex loves these in threes….

Hart swivels his hips and pulls Phillips back up to his feet and connects with a second straight suplex. The crowd stand as Lex manages to pull Phillips back up for a third time and lifts him high…

JT:Three amigos…..excellent work from Lex Hart……..

1.
….2
…………Phillips kicks out. Lex crawls back up to his feet and he pulls Phillips towards him and into a front facelock….

PS:Lex going old-school….HART ATTACK!

Lex looks for the jackhammer but JP counters with a backdrop and then waits for Lex to get back up, catching him running in with a powerful samoan drop………………………1………………………2……………………..shoulder up.

JT:Phillips battling his way back into prominence….not a good sign for Lex Hart…

PS:Never easy to keep Phillips down….he’s a real warrior…

Phillips gets back up quickly and he drags Lex up to a vertical base before thrusting him into the turnbuckle and stomping heavily on his midsection. JP then grabs Lex’s right arm and whips him across to the opposite side…..Hart hits the turnbuckle and flips upside down (ala Ric Flair) before staggering back down onto his feet as Phillips darts at him….

JT:GAME-CHANGER!

Phillips looks for the ferocious clothesline but Lex ducks it and sends Phillips clattering into the turnbuckle before jumping on his back…

PS:Sleeper…..wow this is big from Lex…

JT:If Lex can work this…he’s putting the huge points on the board…

The crowd watch on in shock was Lex sets his arms into place around the throat of Phillips and closes the sleeper hold into position. JP staggers and thrashes in panic as Lex really locks his arms and presses his weight down…

PS:Lex is so skilled in the submission art….trained in the legendary dungeon back in Calgary….

Phillips sways off balance and loses his footing slightly but manages to remain upright as Lex squeezes harder and tries to cause his opponent to take a knee. The crowd are showing their support for Phillips, but some are vocally cheering for Lex Hart….

JT:Seems Lex has won some fans over in the arena….

PS:I’m not surprised….he has been fighting with so much guts in recent weeks….

Phillips almost drops down to his knees but manages to stumble forwards and grab the ropes as the referee intervenes and orders Lex to release the sleeper hold. Hart drops down off the back of JP and then waistlocks him back into the centre…

JT:GERMAN!

Phillips spins out of Lex’s grasp and quickly puts him in a full nelson before decimating him with a sitdown slam……………………………………….1………………………………..2……………..Lex just gets his shoulder up.

PS:Close call and Lex almost caught unawares….

They get back to their feet and JP drives a heavy knee to the midsection of Lex before lifting him onto his shoulders….

JT:Attitude…

Phillips looks for the “AA” but Lex slips off the back and quickly spins his opponent around to face him…

PS:FLATLINE!

Phillips blocks the RKO and pushes Lex against the ropes before twisting him into a powerslam on the comeback. Phillips gets back to his feet and kneels down in the corner as he waits for Hart to get back up….

JT:SPEAR…..THAT’LL DO IT!

Phillips almost tears Hart in two as he sprints forwards and drills him with a huge spear……………………..1…………………………………………….2………………………………….thr-Hart gets his shoulder up in the air.

PS:Now that was seriously close….

Phillips gets back up to his feet with his head on his hands and looks a little shocked that Lex is still fighting. Phillips looks at the referee and then waits for Hart to stand up before pulling him into position…

JT:TOUCH…

Lex swivels out and kicks JP in the stomach before nailing a DDT. He then drags himself back to his feet and runs towards the ropes…

PS:LIONSAULT….GOT HIM!

Lex lands the springboard moonsault and hooks both legs………………………….1…………………………….2……………………shoulder up. They get back to their feet and Lex moves straight in for the kill….

JT:FLATLINE!

Phillips looks to counter the RKO into a full nelson but Lex transitions into a forwards rolls and drags JP down to the canvass……………………………….1……………………………..2……………………..shoulder up. They stagger back up and Lex looks to leapfrog over Phillips…

PS:Caught him….OH DAMN!

*Crowd groan

Phillips catches Lex on his shoulders and then drops him backwards, driving Lex face-first into the top of the turnbuckle Lex writhes on the canvass in agony…

JT:Straight to the injured nose…..Lex’s senses just got jammed major style…

Phillips then drags Lex to his feet and hits him with a big time piledriver……………………………1………………………………..2………………………..Lex gets his shoulder up.

PS:I don’t know how Lex does it, I really don’t’….even when he is taking a beating, he just will not go down without a serious fight…

Phillips shakes his head in disbelief before getting back to his feet and he waits for Lex to stand. The crowd are chanting Phillips’ name as he waits for his foe and then drags him into position…

JT: The “Touchdown” will end it…

Phillips looks for the “rockbottom” but Lex counters with a face-first russian legsweep. Both men are down on the canvass and trying desperately to get back to their feet…

PS:These two men have put in so much effort thus far…but who has more left in the tank?

JT:I think they are both pretty close to empty right now…

Lex manages to cling onto the turnbuckle and helps himself back up. He breathes deeply and then turns around as Phillips charges at him..

PS:INCOMING!

Lex manages to roll away, sending JP crashing through the ropes into the ringpost. Phillips then staggers back and Lex is waiting for him…

JT:FLATLINE!

The crowd are on their feet as Lex drills Phillips with the RKO, but is left with no energy to make the cover. Both men are sprawled on the canvass, looking up at the lights…

PS:Lex has Phillips completely finished here…..but he just doesn’t have anything left in the tank…

JT:If he can just find the energy to drag himself across…

Lex rolls onto his stomach, almost in slow motion, and pulls himself across the distance before dropping the palm of his hand across the chest of Phillips…………………………….1………………………………………….2…………………………..3!

PS:It’s all…

JT:Kicked out!......that lapse in time allowed Phillips sufficient time to recover..

The crowd are stomping their feet and clapping up into the rafters as Phillips pushes his shoulder up off the canvass. Lex rolls back onto his side and looks completely exhausted and the referee begins to count both men out…

PS:They need to get back on their feet before the count reaches ten, or the points disappear for them both…

JT:That would be heart-breaking for both after the energy they have put in here…

Phillips stumbles over to the ropes and uses the turnbuckle to keep himself upright as Lex staggers back to his feet and rushes in…

PS:Ouch!

Phillips drives both his knees into the face of Lex, knocking him backwards and almost causing him to keel over. JP then bursts out of the blocks….

JT:GAME-CHANGER!

Lex ducks underneath the “clothesline from hell” and runs into the corner, where he darts straight up to the top rope and then flips…

PS:AMAZING!

JT:Oh my….

The flashbulbs go off as Lex flies back into an incredible moonsault, only for JP to step aside at the last moment and cause Lex to land sickeningly on his face!

JT:The injury to that nose is just not getting any better…

PS:It’s damn near crushed now…

JT:TOUCHDOWN!

Lex face plants the canvass and then slowly stumbles back to his feet, straight into a ring-shattering rockbottom. Phillips hooks both legs…………………………………1………………………….2………………………..3!

PS:And you can forget about it…

The referee’s hand touches down to the canvass for the third time and the crowd roar as “Cold Ash” echoes to. Jimmy Phillips gets to his feet and wipes sweat from his brow as the referee raises his other arm in victory…

JT:Very, very good win for Jimmy Phillips here tonight….he was pushed beyond his limits in that contest, a truly fascinating matchup between two amazing athletes…

PS:The heart and determination of Lex Hart did not fail again here tonight….but once more it is that injury to his nose that cost him in the grand scheme…..it threw him off his game and allowed Phillips to capitalise…..impressive by Phillips, but commiserations to Hart…

Phillips looks down at Hart, sizing him up, before turning to the fans and beginning to celebrate his victory. JP climbs up onto the ropes and he begins to motion a belt around his waist…

JT:Jimmy Phillips wants that shot at Cobra….he wants that shot at the AWF Championship, and on tonight’s showing that would be one hell of a match….Phillips is climbing the ladder once more…..Lex Hart, somehow, is still chasing his first victory…

PS:If he keeps performing like that, positive results will only be around the corner…

Phillips drops down off the ropes as Lex Hart has staggered back to his feet. Blood is visible behind the protective mask of Hart, and he is breathing heavily, but he glares at Phillips and then sticks out his hand…

PS:Lex showing his respect…he knows that was a hell of a match…

JT:Phillips not so convinced….you can’t blame him, with their past record…

Phillips stands and stares at Lex’s outstretched hand as the crowd watch on. Lex continues to offer the gesture of good will as Phillips weighs him up with suspicion….

PS:Shake his hand Jimmy…

JT:Phillips just isn’t sold on the new-look Lex Hart…

Phillips looks at Lex once more and then shakes his head and backs away, climbing from the ring and leaving Lex to his own devices. There is an awkward reaction from the crowd as they watch Phillips back up the ramp with a confused expression as Lex stands in the ring, looking downhearted.

JT:Phillips wins this match……and he seems to have won the admiration of his opponent, but I don’t think it is a two way thing...

PS:I get Phillips’ suspicion…but I think he should have shook Lex’s hand there…

JT:I think maybe your right…..but Phillips’ life was made a living hell by Lex, there is a lot of history to forget and forgive….


Phillips and Lex stare at each other once more before Phillips turns his back and heads into the backstage area,leaving Lex to ponder

JT:Ladies and gentlemen it is my understanding that Jack Reynolds is in the backstage area…with a very special, if not surprising, guest..

*The scene goes backstage where Jack Reynolds is facing the camera, microphone in hand.

Reynolds:Thanks Jeff…..and yes, in the last few moments I have been joined here by the former 6WF World Champion, Christopher Patricks!

*The crowd boo as Patricks walks into shot with a smile upon his face.

Reynolds:What brings you to this neck of the woods Chris…

Patricks: Am I supposed to clear my actions with you Jack before I do anything?

Reynolds:No…

Patricks:I didn’t think so…..what brings me to this neck of the woods is my own personal desire to finally get the goddamn respect I deserve. For everyone that has been watching 6WF recently, they know that I am being disrespected at every damn turnoff……

And I’m fed up of it….because I am a former 6WF World Champion, the single greatest wrestler on the 6WF roster, but never, ever does the spotlight get shone upon me. But all that is going to change Jacky boy…all of that is going to change right now…

Reynolds:What do you mean?

Patricks:Danny McGraw and the precious little B.O.D have chosen to overlook me too many times….they do not recognise my talent and they do not respect my achievements. I should be headlining Born in Fire, I should be in the marquee matches….but instead I am here, talking to a chumpstain like you…

But if McGraw won’t give me my opportunities on Lockdown, if he won’t acknowledge my talents and take any notice of my show stealing performances, then maybe I will have to do something that is going to catch his eye….

Reynolds:And what is that?

Patricks:I don’t think we will discuss that right now Jack, because at this moment in time it is not relevant and you do not need to know anything….but Ascension is McGraw’s pet project, his great little invention….and I am sure he will take some notice if somebody begins to tamper with said creation…

*Patricks grins maliciously

Patricks:There is some talent on this roster….but none of them measure up to me….none of them are fit enough to share the same ring as me……I am going to make a statement before I leave here tonight….and when I am done, Danny McGraw will begin to listen to exactly what I have to say…

*Patricks stares at Reynolds for a moment and then shakes his head and exits the scene

*The scene changes and Lex Hart is sat in the trainer’s room and the medic is removing his protective mask.

Medic:This is a bad break Lex…

Hart:It’s fine…

Medic: Doesn’t look like it to me….every time you take a blow like you did tonight, you are harming your recovery…

Hart:I can handle it…

*The medic squeezes Lex’s nose and Hart jumps back in pain

Medic:Seems like it…

Hart:Look, I’m ok…..the nose is broken but it’s not hindering my capabilities. I am getting closer and closer to my prime condition, I can feel it…..

Medic:I would just prefer it if you maybe considered just one or two weeks off…..you would be amazed at the healing process…

Hart:I can’t afford to just take a backseat, even for one week…

Medic:Lex, I have to warn you, if this continues and you end up back here week after week…I will have no choice but to refuse to medically clear you…..this cannot continue, and I would not be doing my job properly if I said otherwise….

Hart:It’s fine….I will take more care with it…

*A gentle knock comes at the door and Lex shakes his head as Miss Jessica walks in, a smile upon her face.

Jessica:What’s the verdict doc?

Medic:There is some severe swelling and internal damage….I am not happy about him competing….I would suggest a week or two off…

*Jessica bites her tongue and looks at Lex

Jessica:Oh no doctor…..that just will not be possible…

*Lex looks up at the General Manager, knowing she has evil intentions

Medic:I don’t understand…..I am worried about the condition of the nose…

Jessica:He will be like totally fine…it’s not serious…

Medic:In my professional opinion it is…

Jessica:Well in my professional opinion…SHUT THE HELL UP!

*The medic backs away

Jessica: Lex will continue to fight because I say so…….I want to watch this little worm squrim…..

*She laughs and Lex glares at her

Jessica:Plus…I have a very special present for him next week, so he has no option but to compete…

Hart:Fine by me…..

Jessica:There we have it then…

*Lex and Jessica continue to stare at each other

Jessica:I’d get as much rest as you can though Lexy….because I have a few little surprises in store for you….and I would hate for you to be caught unawares..

*She bends down quickly and kisses Lex on the cheek before backing away with a smile. Lex looks furious as she leaves.

*The scene changes again and Zach Corchia is talking with Kayleigh Reed.

Reed:Zach in just a few moments you get the opportunity to “get even” with Josh Valor, after weeks of attacks and blindside assaults…..but this is not just a match, this is a tables match….where I believe the winner will receive seven points…..are you prepared for this?

Corchia:I am more prepared than I ever felt I could be at this very moment in time…..I mean, we have all seen the footage and I have taken some serious knocks in the last few weeks, but here I am, standing tall and ready to fight…

I’ve been an underdog my entire life….every wrestling promotion I have worked for has seen me with the odds stacked up against me and here on Ascension it is no different….Valor is bigger and stronger than me, but he does not have my heart, my determination or the will to succeed that I possess….

I came here to Ascension because I want to recapture the glory that I gained in TWA, I want to see my name up in lights and championship gold around my waist……so when opportunities such as tonight present themselves, I cannot afford to rest back on my laurels…I need to fight with all I have got and make sure I walk away with my hand raised in victory…

Reed:Valor is a tough opponent….he is physically more dominant than you, how do you propose to overcome that?

Corchia:With my superior speed and athleticism….I don’t doubt how physically strong Valor is, but I hold the advantage in many other departments and I know I can beat him….i’ve done it before and I will do it again here tonight….

Seven points coupled with the five I gained last week will put me in a heck of a position as far as the league of Ascension goes…….that’s what I am fighting for, what all of the men on this roster are fighting for….I can’t afford to slip up….losing is not an option tonight…

Valor has beaten me from pillar to post….he’s tried to bully me into submission, but here this evening he will find out that I don’t scare easily…..that he does not intimidate me……………and most importantly, he cannot and will not ever beat me…

*The crowd cheer as Corchia gives the rocker pose and then backs out of the shot

Reed:Good luck tonight Zach…

*The scene changes again and Doug McKenzie is typing away on his laptop when a knock comes at his office door.

McKenzie:Hello?

*The door opens and the crowd cheer as Johnny Goldman walks inside.

McKenzie: Ah Johnny, what can I do for you?

Goldman:Just a quick word about this whole Cerberus situation….

McKenzie:I know your mad Johnny because you didn’t get your match….but I passed on the message to Miss Jessica, I told her how much you wanted the clash….but it’s out of my hands…

Goldman:I know that…..and I appreciate you doing me that favor Doug, but I really need this match…not only to get some level of revenge, but because I need to put on a show…..it’s been far too long since I gave the crowd a monumental match….

*Crowd cheer

McKenzie:I can see your frustrations but Jessica doesn’t budge easily……she will not bow down to demands…..but…

Goldman:But?

*McKenzie motions for Goldman to close the door and JG does so

McKenzie:You didn’t hear this from me ok?

*Goldman nods his head

McKenzie:Jessica is in hot water for her actions with Dubois and Scorpion, the Board of Directors aren’t happy with how she is conducting herself…

Goldman:And your telling me this why?

McKenzie:Jessica believes that the only way she can prove her worth, is by smashing the ratings records for this show….proving she is the best for this job….

Goldman:Yeah…

McKenzie:So…..and I must stress you didn’t hear this from me……..if somebody was to pull off a few tricks/stunts/whatever you want to call it that directly impacts on the popularity of this program…then maybe, just maybe she might be more willing to listen…

*Goldman smiles

Goldman:Your alright Doug, you really are….I appreciate that….

McKenzie:No problem…

*Goldman gives the thumbs up and then exits the room as McKenzie goes back to typing on his laptop

Match 2

Tables match
Zach Corchia vs Josh Valor

Back at ringside and “Can’t stop” by RHCP echoes out to a huge ovation from the sell-out crowd in the arena. The lights dim and electric blue pyrotechnics explode up into the air as Zach Corchia makes his entrance. Corchia throws his arms up in the air and then removes his jacket, throwing it into the adoring masses.

JT:Welcome back to ringside folks and we have a heck of a personal matchup next here on Ascension….

PS:Zach Corchia has been the victim of some serious beatdowns from the hands of Josh Valor in recent weeks…tonight they get the opportunity to settle their differences in a tables match…

JT:Only way to win is by directly putting your opponent through a table….that will earn you seven points and a huge advantage in the league of Ascension standings….

PS:Big opportunity for both men and I am sure they are both raring to go…

JT:It’s a very strange atmosphere here in Birmingham tonight…..the arrival of Chris Patricks, the conflict between Lex Hart and Miss Jessica….I have a bad feeling about something….

Corchia climbs up onto the ring apron and he scans around the arena before vaulting over the top rope and into the ring. He takes to all four corners in turn to pose for the fans before he backflips back into the centre of the ring….

PS:Corchia has made a career from overcoming the odds…..did it in TWA, in 6CW, but can he do it here in 6WF…

JT:Well it is time to tell…..

Corchia spins on his heel and stares towards the entranceway as “The world belongs to me” roars out and the crowd boo furiously. The lights in the arena switch off and then come back on, a lone light shining down on the kneeling figure of Josh Valor…

JT:During his time in 6CW, Josh Valor was a risk-taking fan favourite…..but his attitude and personality have altered completely over the last year…he is now an aggressive powerhouse that seems to enjoy nothing more than beating people up…

PS:He’s in the right business for it…

JT:Valor says that athletes like Corchia don’t belong at the top…..that they are “spot monkeys” and that he possesses the true talent on this roster…..Valor doesn’t believe there is a place for Corchia here on Ascension and tonight he will attempt to back up those claims…

PS:This is such a dangerous environment….Valor really wants to hurt Corchia, and what better way than in a match where there are no rules…

JT:Although both men are quality wrestlers, I am not expecting much catch-as-catch-can here this evening…..I am banking on smash-mouth action from the get go….

Valor stands up and pumps his fist into the air before pointing towards Corchia as he strides down the rampway towards the ring. Corchia is awaiting his opponent and then runs to the ropes as he gets closer, diving into a baseball slide that knocks Valor off balance and back into the aisleway…

PS:Corchia wasting no time in going to work here…

Valor staggers back into the aisleway and Corchia runs at him before jumping into a wheelbarrow bodyscissors that he transitions into a bulldog, slamming Valor’s face into the ground.

JT:That is amazing…

Corchia gets back to his feet and nods his head before jumping onto the ringside barrier and backflipping off again into a double foot stomp across the midsection of Valor. The crowd are on their feet and showing their appreciation as Corchia heads back to the ring and begins to search under the apron…

PS:Corchia has started so well here….and he’s already looking to finish this…

Corchia drags a table out from under the ring and he props it against the apron for a moment before turning around and eating a right hand from a recovering Josh Valor. Corchia fires back with a kick to the stomach and then looks for an irish whip but Valor counters…

JT:Lookout…

Corchia amazingly headplants over the top of the steel steps and leaps back onto the ringside barrier before twisting through the air and knocking Valor over with a flying forearm smash (ala Aj Styles). Corchia then drags the table away from the apron and sets it up in the aisleway…

PS:Corchia really fancying his chances now…

Corchia manages to haul Valor up and dumps him across the table before heading toward the ring and climbing up onto the apron. He backs towards the turnbuckle and lifts himself up onto the ropes…

JT:Corchia going to fly here…

Valor pulls himself off the table and he throws it across the floor before turning around as Corchia dives from on high…

PS:No table but Corchia is still taking the risk…

Valor catches Corchia in his grasps and the runs him back, driving him against the ringpost. Valor then scoops ZC up and bodyslams him across the hard flooring….

JT:Valor’s aggression shining through now…not a good time for Zach Corchia….

Valor rags Corchia up by the head and dumps him into the ring before climbing up onto the apron and scaling the ropes. Corchia slowly staggers back to his feet as Valor flies from on high and lands with a brutal clothesline takedown….

PS:Beautiful aerial assault…

Valor gets back to his feet and he stomps heavily on Corchia before ragging him back to his feet and throwing him into the turnbuckle. Valor runs at Corchia and crashes into him with a bodysplash before whipping him off the ropes and drilling him with a sidewalk slam on the comeback…

JT:Valor is looking to take everything out of Corchia before he looks for the table…

PS:Smart thinking in my opinion…

Valor pulls Corchia back to his feet and he lifts him into a big vertical suplex before heading for the ropes and beginning to climb to the top. Zach is prone on the canvass as Valor gives a signal and then dives….

JT:FLYING ELBOW!

Zach drives his knees up into the outstretched arm of Valor as he comes down through the air. Valor rolls away in pain as Corchia slowly staggers back to his feet and then lays his foe out with a sickening superkick to the jaw….

PS:Corchia just will not be kept down here…..he has a big point to prove…

JT:He has a huge heart does the LA native…

Corchia climbs out onto the apron and then slingshots himself back into a rolling plancha across the chest of Valor. Corchia then waits for Valor to stumble back up and he boots him in the chest..

PS:Valor thinking pedigree…

Valor swipes the legs of his foe before the pedigree can take place and he slingshots Corchia over the top rope, only for Zach to cling on and “skin the cat”…

JT:That is incredible….nice headscissors…

Valor is back up and he tries to block Corchia from getting back in the ring, only for Zach to lock his legs around the neck of Valor and nails a spinning headscissors takedown. Both men get back to their feet and Valor looks for a big boot but Corchia ducks it and springboards onto the ropes…

PS:DISASTER KICK!

Corchia floats back through the air and lands the kick to the jaw of Valor, sending him crashing into the corner. Zach then follows up with a shining wizard before ushering Valor out into the centre of the ring…

JT:SHELLSHOCK!

PS:He got all of that…but this isn’t a regular match…

Corchia nails Valor with the spinning STO (ala Alex Shelley) and leaves his foe motionless on the canvass. He kneels for a moment and catches his breath before rolling under the bottom rope and searching for another table underneath the ring. He drags a new weapon out and slides it back in…

JT:Corchia has Josh Valor exactly where he wants him to be….all he needs to do now is put him through that table…

Corchia sets the table up in the centre of the ring before dragging Valor up and draping him across it. Corchia then heads for the corner and begins to climb to the top…

PS:Corchia going high risk…

Valor rolls off the table and he runs into the corner, only for Corchia to jump over him and connecting with a mule kick to the back in midair. Valor staggers into the turnbuckle and then staggers back out as Corchia spins him around and pulls him into position….

JT:FISHERMANS…

Valor pushes Corchia hard into the table behind and then connects with a huge big boot that knocks Corchia over the top of the table. Valor throws the table across the ring and then waits for Corchia to get back to his feet…

PS:FORGOTTEN VALOR!

Corchia counters the “wastelands” into an armdrag takedown. Both men get back to their feet and Corchia scores with a nice spinning heel kick before running off the ropes and cartwheeling back into a standing moonsault…..

JT:Corchia needs to keep moving and he will have great success…

Zach grabs the table again, this time propping it up in the corner. He pulls Valor to his feet and into position for a suplex….

PS:Corchia looking for a finish….

Valor keeps his feet grounded and refuses to be budged by Corchia and then counters with a suplex of his own. Valor and Zach get back to their feet and Valor swings a heavy fist…

JT:KO PUNCH!

Corchia ducks the punch and lashes off with brutal kicks to the legs before jumping up and roundhouse kicking Valor to the canvass. Valor gets back up onto his feet and Corchia looks for a second superkick but Valor catches his foot and spins him around….

PS:What a chokeslam!

The crowd groan as Valor drills Corchia down into the canvass with a sickening chokeslam. He then grabs the table from the corner and pulls it into the centre of the ring…

JT:Valor’s power might just be starting to make all of the difference…

Valor turns around and mocks the fans in attendance before letting Corchia stand up and he lifts him up onto his shoulders, walking him towards the table….

PS:FORGOTTEN VALOR THROUGH THE TABLE!

Valor looks for the “wastelands” but Corchia spins off the back and counters with a face-first russian legsweep, driving the face of Valor against the front of the table.

JT:That was sickening impact and something that could change the outcome…

Valor rolls across the canvass in pain and under the bottom rope to the outside. Corchia takes a moment to compose himself and then runs to the ropes, jumps onto the top and corkscrews to the outside in an incredible takedown on Valor…

Crowd:That was awe-some x5

PS:Amazing from Zach Corchia….he really is laying it all on the line…

Corchia stands up and he stomps down on Valor before grabbing the table from the aisleway and propping it up against the security railing. Corchia then pushes Valor against the table and drags the steel steps away from the ring…

JT:I have no idea what Corchia thinking right now……OH MY GOD!

Crowd:Holy (beep) x5

Corchia runs across the floor,up the steps as a springboard and dives through the air for a solo poetry in motion, but Valor moves away and Zach crashes through the table and lays in the wreckage….

PS:Zach Corchia just got broken in half….

JT:But this match will continue…..Corchia must be placed directly through a table by his opponent….

Valor staggers away and drops to his knees against the ring apron as Corchia tries to pull himself out of the wreckage. Valor gets back up and he boots the shards of wood away and then pulls Corchia back up, throwing him back in the ring…

PS:Corchia is out of it here….this match is Valor’s for the taking…

JT:And I think he is going to take great pleasure in “taking” it…

Valor walks over the announce area and he grabs a steel chair before heading back to the ring and climbing in. Corchia is holding onto the ropes and tries to pull himself up…..CRACK!....Valor lashes the chair across the back of Corchia before setting the chair up in a folded out position and he drags Corchia into the middle of the ring, flipping him into the air….

JT:POWERBOMB!

Valor looks for the powerbomb but Corchia counters into a snap DDT across the seat of the chair. Corchia then crawls back up this feet and stumbles over to the corner before lifting himself onto the second rope…

PS:Corchia is digging deeper than I ever thought he was capable of….LEGDROP!

Valor rolls away and causes Corchia to land heavily on his backside in the centre of the ring. Valor then grabs the steel chair off the canvass and runs his hand along the weapon as he stands up…

JT:Valor rode a very brief storm there and now he is back in control….

PS:Corchia is about to go for a sleep….

CRACK!...Valor swings the chair at Corchia’s head but Zach ducks underneath it and then counters with a beautiful “van daminator” spinning kick, crashing the chair back into the face of Valor. The Canadian collapses onto the canvass as Corchia stumbles up and grabs the chair before running off the ropes and diving into a springboard….

JT:ARABIAN LEGDROP!

The crowd roar in approval as Corchia flies back, with the chair tucked under his legs, and legdrops the weapon straight into the face of Josh Valor. Valor staggers away and back up onto his feet as Corchia picks the chair up and launches it, ECW style, against the exposed face of Valor….

PS:My god Corchia is showing his aggression here…..that was brutal….

JT:It is hardly surprising after everything Valor has put him through in recent weeks…

Valor slumps against the ropes as Corchia grabs the table from the opposite side and drags it back into the centre of the ring, setting it up. He then turns around and runs at Valor, scoring with a second shining wizard to the jaw….Corchia tries to lift Valor up onto the top rope but Valor drives the point of his elbow down into the neck of Zach and manages to push him away before running at him for a brogue kick…

PS:Ducked that…..SPEAR!

Corchia ducks the running kick from Valor and hits the ropes, coming back with a scintillating spear that knocks Valor down. ZC then staggers back to his feet and waits for Valor to stumble up in the opposite corner, he then grabs the steel chair and runs across the ring, using the table in the centre as a springboard…

JT:POETRY IN MOTION!

The crowd roar as Corchia crashes the steel chair against the skull of Valor and leaves him dazed and confused against the ropes. Corchia gets back to his feet and he breathes in the energy of the crowd before throwing the chair from the ring and lifts Valor up onto the top rope….

PS:Valor’s eyes rolled into the back of his head….he is barely even conscious after this assault….

Corchia climbs up onto the top rope with his opponent and rocks him with right hands before underhooking both of his arms and pulls him to the edge of the turnbuckle….

JT:This will be some earth-shattering impact….

Corchia looks for the top rope pedigree but Valor catches somewhat of a second wind and manages to scoop Corchia up onto his shoulder and stands tall..

PS:FORGOTTEN VALOR!

Crowd:Holy (beep) x10

JT:OH MY GOD!

Valor looks for the “wastelands” but Corchia elbows him heavily in the jaw and manages to fall back into his feet before underhooking Valor’s arms and nails the flying pedigree from the top rope through the table, leaving the referee with a very easy decision to make…

PS:It’s all over…..what a move, what a match…

JT:Corchia has done it…overcome the odds once again……

“Can’t stop” echoes out of the soundsystem and the crowd are on their feet, celebrating the very hard-fought victory. Zach Corchia is laying on his back with a triumphant smile upon his face as Valor lays face down in the wreckage of the table.

JT:Josh Valor has tried to make Corchia’s life a misery in the last few weeks, but it has all come crashing down around him here tonight….the bully has finally been taught a lesson, what an effort from Corchia…

PS:He survived a heck of an onslaught…survived going through a table himself and managed to get up and finish Valor off….tremendous effort from Corchia, another seven points on the board for him….

JT:Corchia is our current league leader after that sensational display…..a fantastic victory, I am sure that has really restored Corchia’s belief that he can be a big player here on Ascension…

*The scene is backstage and there are raised voices as Scorpion and Jerome Dubois get ready for the main event.

Dubois:I am ze leader…

Scorpion:Yeah right…like Jess would put you in charge, she knows she can trust me to get the job done…unlike you…

Dubois:Ha….please do not kid yourself, me and Jessica have a very intimate relationship….

Scorpion:Don’t make me laugh….she wouldn’t touch you with a barge pole…

Dubois:Care to wager?...

Scorpion:I don’t need to do a stupid bet….I know she wouldn’t look twice at you…

Dubois:You are very foolish to believe zat…but it iz irrelevant right now….we need to get ready for zis match..

Scorpion:I am ready…

Dubois:Are you?....cos we cannot afford another slip up….Jessica deserves better….

Scorpion:And she will get better…tonight I’ll make her proud when I win the main event, when I put points on the board and I move forwards into top place in the League of Ascension…

Dubois:Preposterous claims…but I expect nothing else from a fool such as yourself….just make sure you do not let the side down tonight….

Scorpion:I’d worry about your own performances before you start talking about anyone else….

*Scorpion barges past Dubois and heads out of the room towards the entranceway. Dubois left shaking his head as the cameras pick up on Cerberus watching the situation from the shadows.

*The scene changes and the crowd cheer as Geoff Steel is standing with Raymond Alexander

Alexander:Geoff Steel, tonight you are pitted in a six man tag team match with Johnny Goldman and AWF Champion, Cobra as your partners….against the team of Jerome Dubois, Scorpion and Cerberus…..this is a big chance for you to put some points on the board and move yourself into position for a championship match….are you confident that we are finally seeing the best of Geoff Steel?

Steel:I wouldn’t say the best….because as a perfectionist I believe I can always do better and I strive to do better. During my run in 6CW I went from a middle of the road kind of guy to the best in the industry…I worked hard to rise the ranks and I got to reap the awards at the end of it all, hopefully here in 6WF I will get to do the exact same thing…

I understand that some of my performances have not been up to scratch, and perhaps I have allowed my issues with Scorpion to cloud my judgment in certain predicaments, but I never claimed to be perfect…

But I want to do better, and I will do better….hopefully that will all start right here tonight…

Alexander:Those who watched 6CW witnessed you perform in some historic matches with guys like Keith Leone, GazzyD and Lex Hart…….do you think the 6WF fans will witness some more historic rivalries in months to come?

Steel:I have no doubts that when my style gels against an opponent that the 6WF universe is going to witness some tremendous matches….you just listed some of my greatest moments in 6CW but I haven’t even begun to get started here in 6WF…..I don’t just want to be remembered as a part of a “historic rivalry”, I want to be remembered as one of the best this company has ever seen…

Alexander:The whole Miss Jessica/Scorpion/Jerome Dubois saga seems to be attempting to seize control of Ascension….as a man that witnessed the rise of one of the greatest stables in history, Genesis, how much does this worry you?

Steel:It’s always a worry to see somebody in a position of power abuse their authority for their own gain…that’s not something I like to see.

Alexander:And that’s why you did what you did last week?

Steel:Exactly, because I could have stood in the back and watched Jerome Dubois win the AWF Championship, but he didn’t deserve that….

I watched Genesis tear 6CW in half and almost ruin that great company…I was one of the few that stood up to them…..and I will do the same here on Ascension. You cannot allow these people to run roughshod and think that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want….

You have to make a stand and fight for your beliefs, that is what I do every single day….that’s what sets me apart from the crowd….

And Miss Jessica, Scorpion and Jerome Dubois can make all the plots and schemes they want, but they can guarantee that I will be there every step of the way to battle them…..I cannot and will not stand idly by and watch these ungrateful, undeserving nobodies take over this show and poison it to its foundations….

Alexander:I wish you luck here tonight Geoff…

Steel:Appreciate it!

*Steel gives the camera a nod before walking off

*The scene changes and Lex Hart is placing his belongings in his kitbag when his lockeroom door is pushed open and Jimmy Phillips walks in.

Phillips:We need to talk…

Hart:No problem….

Phillips:You need to listen to me Hart and listen good…

*Hart nods in understanding

Phillips:I don’t know what little game your playing here Lex, or what stunt it is that your trying to pull….but you need to leave me the hell out of it….I had enough of your bull(beep) back in CWA, and whilst it never gets tiring whopping your a55, I’d really rather not have to deal with you at all…

Hart:I understand what your saying Jimmy…..and I also understand that no matter what I say, you don’t trust me one single bit…

*Phillips just glares at Lex

Lex:But I’ve said it before and I will say it again, there is no hidden agenda….

*Phillips scoffs

Lex:I know you won’t believe me, and I don’t expect you to…but it is the truth, I know it’s the truth and no offense but that is all that matters to me.

Phillips:As long as you know that I don’t trust you, and I don’t want anything to do with you…

Lex:That’s fine by me, I’m not trying to convince anyone, I just want to be left alone to do my thing……

Phillips:So what was all that handshake crap about?

Lex:It was a good match, we both put in a heck of an effort and I respect what you did out there….no malice in my actions, I just merely wanted to show my appreciation for you putting on that match with me…

*Phillips eyes Lex suspiciously

Phillips:Just keep your distance Hart…

Hart:I will……I don’t want to cause any trouble with anyone, I’ve got a lifetime of misdeeds for me to deal with so I won’t be looking to add anymore….I just want this one last chance at redemption, and to be able to look back on my career with at least some semblance of self-respect….

*Phillips continues to eye Lex up, unsure of what to make of the situation

Lex:I know what I did to you in CWA Jimmy and I am not proud of my actions, but saying sorry will change nothing and you would not accept my apology anyway….all I suggest is that from here we go our separate ways….I will not bother you, and I ask you to do the same….if we should be drawn to fight again, I will meet you with all I have, just like I did here this evening….

Phillips:Your pulling something Hart, I can just tell you are…..

*Lex shakes his head as Phillips backs to the doorframe and then exits the room. Lex finishes packing his things away and looks a little dejected as he swings the bag over his shoulder and follows Phillips from the room.

*The scene changes for a final time and the crowd roar as Cobra strides in to join Jack Reynolds.

Reynolds:Champ….

Cobra: Jack….

Reynolds:You ready for this match?

Cobra:I’m always ready Jack, you should know that. I have trained for this fight just as I train for all others, and I am confident that when I leave tonight, it will be another victory attached to my name.

Reynolds:In some quarters it has been suggested that Geoff Steel saved your title reign last….that without his assistance, Jerome Dubois would have left as AWF Champion, how do you respond to those claims…

Cobra:I can see where those claims come from but you have to ask what the outcome of that match would have been without the interference of Scorpion and Miss Jessica’s hired guns?....you know we can all quabble and query about several different potential outcomes, but in the end there was only one….and that was me holding the championship high over my head, still your reigning champion….

Reynolds:Do you feel you owe a debt to Geoff Steel?

Cobra:I don’t believe so….whilst I admire what Steel did, I am confident in my abilities and I believe I would have found a way to win no matter what….Steel showed his guts and bravery, and maybe one day I will return the favour…..but I don’t think there is a debt to be owed…..

Reynolds:And tonight you get to fight alongside Steel and Johnny Goldman, once again facing Dubois, Scorpion and the monster, Cerberus…..do you believe you will be maintaining your position as the number one on Ascension after this match?

Cobra:I see no reason as to why…..I mean I believe I can measure up with any superstar in the world and defeat them in the middle of wrestling ring. I believe I have proven the doubters wrong more often than not and I have more than showed that I am capable of competing at the very highest level…

I respect every man on this roster, in terms of their wrestling prowess, they wouldn’t be contracted to 6WF without sheer class…..but I also respect myself and what I have accomplished in my career thus far. As far as I am concerned, aslong as I continue to perform in the manner I have been doing, I will rule over Ascension forever more…

Reynolds:Certainly a lot of confidence for you and I am sure the 6WF universe wish you luck here tonight…

Cobra:Thank you very much…

Reynolds:Just one final question Cobra, how do you respond to Miss Jessica's claims that she will do "anything" to stop you from being the AWF Champion for much longer?

*Cobra smirks

Cobra:Let her keep dreaming.....there is nothing that two dollar whore could possibly do to stop me...

*Cobra gives a wink to the camera and then taps the AWF Championship before heading towards the Gorilla position.

Main event
Cobra/Geoff Steel/Johnny Goldman vs Jerome Dubois/Scorpion/Cerberus

The action returns to ringside as the lights in the arena dim and then “hell” screams out of the speakers. Flames burst from the front of the stage and all four turnbuckles as the massive form of Cerberus marches down towards the ring.

JT:Cobra certainly in a confident mood…but you have to wonder what Miss Jessica has planned…remember what she said at the start of this program….”anything to take the championship from Cobra”, she has some evil intentions…

PS:Cobra needs to watch his back…especially with guys like Cerberus in this match…

JT:I think Cerberus has his attention focused more on Johnny Goldman than anything else…

Cerberus strides down to the ring and then climbs up onto the apron before stepping into the ring. He then waits in the centre of the ring as “Wake up” echoes out and the boos from the crowd grow louder and louder. Scorpion swaggers out onto the stage and raises his arms into his trademark “X”…..

PS:The straight edge superstar….Scorpion scored a big win last week and he will be looking to follow that up here tonight…

JT:Any superstar that has been brainwashed by the maniacal Miss Jessica is a serious threat….

Scorpion taunts the fans as he makes his way down to the ring and then climbs into the ring. He looks at Cerberus but thinks better of talking tactics with the monster.

PS:Can you imagine if Miss Jessica managed to enlist the help of Cerberus as well, what a threat she would be..

JT:It’s bad enough already…I shudder to think what Cerberus would be like without a leash holding him back…

“Mind Eraser” echoes out and as the intro of the song play’s across the arena, Dubois jogs out with his back to the crowd wearing a Black suit vest with "Still a Phenomene" written across the back in white. Dubois then turns arounds and stretches his arms out from side to side as he looks up to the heavens as a Red Pyro shoot off behind him. Dubois makes his way down the ramp with and walks up the steel steps where he wipes his feet on the apron and then steps into the ring. As Dubois enters the ring he removes his robe and climb on to the apron where he is seen wearing a white trunks with “Culture” Written on the back.

PS:Jerome Dubois appears to have found a new lease of life since he joined forces with Miss Jessica…

JT:Once upon a time he seemed destined for greatness here in 6WF, with this new partnership….I wouldn’t rule anything out…

Dubois climbs into the ring and joins his teammates, beginning to give them both a team talk. Scorpion lounges against the ropes, disinterested, and Cerberus merely glares at Dubois. “The golden word” then echoes out to a thunderous ovation, as golden sparkles fall down from the top of the stage…

PS:Former CWA Champion, Johnny Goldman hasn’t quite hit form yet, but when he does, the rest of the roster is going to know about it…

JT:I think Goldman is too interested in Cerberus right now, that rivalry is bubbling nicely…

PS:Goldman is desperate for a one on one collision…..maybe if he catches the eye tonight, he might get his desire…

Goldman walks down to the ring and climbs up onto the apron and looks at his foes. Cerberus takes a step forwards but does not engage the situation as “Last Resort” blasts out and the cheers accompany red and silver pyros and the arrival of Geoff Steel.

JT:Former 6CW World Champion, the depth of talent is certainly on this side tonight…

PS:Steel is still yet to find top gear either though…I think his inactivity since 6CW went bust has had an effect on his performances…

JT:I don’t think Steel would argue with that, but he is improving each week and soon enough he will be at full capacity….

Steel reaches out and slaps hands with his adoring fans before nodding at Goldman as he climbs up onto the stage. Both men look at each other and then climb into the ring to face their opposition. There is an exchange of words before “King of the stereo” blares out and red, silver and green pyrotechnics explode into the air.

PS:And here is the champion…..the man that has the bullseye on his back right now from all of the roster…

JT:He is in the position that everybody is aspiring to be in…everyone wants to be the AWF Champion, but there can only be one….and right now that one is Cobra…

Cobra runs out onto the stage and he raises his arms in the air as more pyros explode behind him. He then removes his t-shirt and throws it into the crowd. Cobra raises the championship over his head as he walks down to the ring…

PS:Cobra is the first and only AWF Champion, an accolade to be proud of……

JT:It certainly is…but in order to keep ahold of that belt, he needs to be at his best every week…remember that if Cobra is not in the top 5 come Born in Fire, he will be stripped of his belt….that is how competitive this league really is….

Cobra walks around the ring and hands his championship to the timekeeper before rushing back to the opposite side and rolling into the ring to join Steel and Goldman. There is a lot of jostling and trash talk as the referee tries to retain control…

JT:Six fired up superstars, all looking to make a name for themselves here tonight……this should be an enthralling encounter….but who will come out on top?

PS:I think it’s time we found out…..this really is a main event to be proud of…

The referee gives his final instructions to both teams and then there is an internal discussion as Scorpion and Johnny Goldman take the initiative for their respective teams. The official speaks to both men and then signals for the bell to start proceedings…

JT:Scorpion and Johnny Goldman………….straight edge vs crowd pleaser……..a great clash of styles…

Goldman winks at Scorpion before both men circle each other and then lunge into a lockup in the centre of the ring. Scorpion is quick to place Goldman in a headlock but JG pushes his opponent into the corner and charges in for a clothesline…

PS:Scorpion quick to get his feet up there…

Scorpion jams his feet into the face of Goldman before lifting himself onto the second rope and coming off with a double axe handle to the skull. Scorpion then runs against the ropes and returns with a swinging neckbreaker on Goldman…………………………1……………………………………2………………….shoulder up.

JT:Scorpion trying to settle into a rhythm here in the early going…

Scorpion drags Goldman up and lifts him into a vertical suplex before getting back to his feet and running off the ropes…

PS:Scorpion elbow….

Scorpion returns from the ropes and looks for his own version of the “peoples elbow” but Goldman rolls away, causing Scorpion to land heavily on his arm. Goldman gets back to his feet and he floors Scorpion with a clothesline before welcoming him up a second time and whipping him off the ropes, sending him flying with a backdrop as he comes back…

JT:Goldman finding his own way into the match now…..

PS:During his time in CWA, Goldman was able to weather some tremendous storms…

Goldman lets Scorpion stand up for a third time and then kicks him in the stomach before nailing a gutwrench suplex. Scorpion staggers back up to his feet and Goldman lifts him into a bearhug before spinning him around into a huge modified slam……………………………1………………………………………..2……………………..shoulder up from Scorpion!

JT:Not the opening that Scorpion would have been hoping for…

Goldman gets to his feet and he makes the tag to Geoff Steel, drawing huge cheers from the crowd. Steel waits for Scorpion to rise and then slingshots himself over the top into a shoulder tackle takedown. Steel then gets back to his feet and he grabs Scorpion by the head…

PS:BLADE…

Steel looks for the piledriver but Scorpion breaks loose and rolls under the bottom rope to catch his breath. The crowd boo him but Steel is in no mood to wait around, following his opponent from the ring. Scorpion turns away from the ringside barrier, only to eat a huge haymaker from Steel that floors him. Scorpion stumbles back to his feet and Steel lifts him up, dropping him rib-first across the ringside barrier….

JT:Geoff Steel is not happy with the way that Scorpion has been conducting himself recently….

PS:Scorpion is just trying to make a name for himself…

JT:Yeah, by smashing Steel over the head with a chair…

Steel drives his knee into the midsection of Scorpion before whipping him into the ring apron and then flooring him with a running forearm. Steel drags Scorpion back up and dumps him back into the ring…

PS:Geoff Steel wants to teach Scorpion a lesson…

JT:And he is more than capable of doing so…

Steel climbs up onto the ring apron and begins to climb to the top rope. Scorpion is flat out on the canvass as Steel prepares to fly from on high….

PS:Steel setting himself for flight…

*Crowd boo

JT:That is just not right…

Jerome Dubois runs across the apron and pushes Steel off the top, causing him to drop back into the ring and guillotine himself across the top rope. Steel writhes around in pain as Scorpion stumbles back to his feet and runs off the ropes, returning with the “Scorpion elbow”………………………1……………………………….2……………shoulder up.

PS:Good teamwork from Scorpion and Dubois….helping them to take control in this match….

Scorpion gets back to his feet and he makes the tag to Dubois, drawing boos from the crowd. Dubois climbs up onto the top rope and perches himself there, waiting for Steel to rise, and then jumps off with a well-timed missile dropkick takedown…………………………..1…………………………2………………….Steel kicks out.

JT:Jerome Dubois came up short in two attempts at becoming AWF Champion…..but a huge win here tonight would put him right back in contention….

Dubois drags Steel up and scoop slams him to the canvass before backing into the corner and lifts himself onto the second rope.

JT:SNAKE…

JT:What the heck is….these two chumps were out here last week, we don’t need to see this…

PS:I guess this was Miss Jessica’s grand plan…

Ali grabs a steel chair from the announce area and then follows Kanyama into the ring. They pass the chair to Dubois and then begin to drag Cobra up to his feet…

JT:This is exactly what we saw last week…

PS:Cobra about to get his brains scrambled….

Geoff Steel bursts back into the ring and wipes out Kanyama with a bone-crushing spear. He then gets back to his feet and rocks Ali back against the ropes with right hands before whipping him across the ring and drilling him with a samoan drop on the comeback. Steel drags Ali to his feet and gives a signal to the crowd….

JT:Thank the Lord for Geoff Steel….BLADECUTTER!

The cheers go up all around the arena as Steel nails the piledriver on Ali, forcing the Japanese bodyguard to roll to the outside. Steel smirks to himself as he clambers back to his feet…..SMACK!...The sound echoes like a gunshot as Dubois rattles the chair across the skull of Steel, causing him to drop down unconscious. Dubois stands over Steel and trash talks him…

JT:We need an official out here to control this damn thing…

PS:Dubois in control…

JT:Guess again, SNAKEBITE!

*Crowd pop

Cobra is back up on his feet and he grabs Dubois from behind, twisting him into position and then drilling him with the thunderous spinning killswitch. Cobra laughs at Dubois before attempting to revive the referee…

JT:Cmon ref….this one is all over…

PS:Check out the stageway Jeff….

All attention turns to the stage as Cerberus and Goldman are battling towards at the edge of the stage and Cerberus then knees Goldman in the stomach and flips him into the air…

JT:You don’t think…

PS:I do….he’s gonna do it……lookout….OH MY GOD!

JT:FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WE NEED US SOME MEDICS….BAH GAWD THEY JUST GOT BROKEN IN HALF!

Crowd:Holy (beep) x10

Cerberus looks for the “burn in hell” but Goldman drops over his back, spins Cerberus around and kicks him in the stomach before lifting him onto his shoulders and nails a running powerbomb that takes both men flying off the stage and through two production tables that are below. The crowd are going wild as both men lay in a motionless state…

PS:Goldman knew he needed to make a statement…..

JT:And he damn well has…..he just put his career on the line…..

PS:That was sick…

The noise from the arena continues to grow as medics come out from the back to check on both men. Back in the ring, Cobra has just about revived the referee and turns around to cover Dubois as a figure jumps the barricade and rolls into the ring…

JT:WHAT THE HELL!

CRACK!.......Chris Patricks picks up the steel chair and drills Cobra in the stomach with it, before dropping the weapon on the floor and nails the “Enigma Bomb” across the steel. The crowd are booing furiously as Scorpion comes stumbling across the ring and drops ontop of Cobra…

PS:What is Patricks’ motive…..I don’t get this…

JT:Your not the only damn one…

The boos are violent from the crowd as the referee slowly comes around and begins to count………………….1……………………………………………..2…………………………………3!

JT:I don’t believe this…

“Wake up” echoes out of the speakers and the crowd boo furiously as Scorpion, Dubois and Cerberus are declared the winners. Chris Patricks just stands tall in the ring with a grin on his face, looking down at the broken body of Cobra…

PS:I don’t get why Patricks would do this….why he would turn up and take out the AWF Champion…

JT:You heard this guy earlier, he said he was tired of being overlooked….what better way to make Danny McGraw to take notice than to turn up on Ascension and take out the prized champion…I sure as hell don’t agree with it, but I can see this lunatics logic…

Scorpion fist pumps the air and smirks before rolling from the ring and celebrates into the aisleway. Jerome Dubois is helped from the ring by Kanyama and Ali as the cameras show medics still checking on Johnny Goldman and Cerberus down towards the stage area. Geoff Steel is slumped on the outside, looking dazed and confused as Patricks continues to look down at his victim.

PS:You can bet there is going to be some damn repercussions after this….

JT:Your damn right, I mean this has Miss Jessica written all over it…

PS:What?

JT:Don’t play dumb….Patricks turns up here and wants to make an impact, Jessica wants someone to take care of Cobra…..put two and two together here, it doesn’t take a genius…

PS:That’s a very big accusation to make Jeff….this could be a coincidence,

JT:Yeah, ok then….

The referee returns to the ring with the AWF Championship but Patricks snatches it out of his grasp and places it across the body of Cobra. Jerome Dubois, Scorpion, Ali and Kanyama all group together on the stage and watch on as Patricks climbs up onto the top rope and then jumps off…

PS:PUZZLE SOLVER!

JT:Enough is enough!

Patricks lands the frogsplash, driving the championship belt into the gut of Cobra and cause the champion to spit blood across the canvass. Patricks kneels with a sickening grin on his face.

JT:After another amazing night of action here on Ascension, this is an ending that I never would have predicted, Chris Patricks making his presence known here, taking out the AWF Champion, but the question is, why?

PS:I guess sooner rather than later we will get our answers….but for tonight we are out of time…

JT:The Cerberus/Goldman situation….Steel/Scorpion…Jessica/Dubois and now Patricks/Cobra…..this main event has thrown up so many damn questions….but we have no time to get any answers….I guess this is all for tonight folks….but thankyou for joining us….be sure to tune in next week for what promises to be a heck of an evening!

PS:This is getting so good…

The show ends with Patricks getting to his feet and staring at Scorpion and Dubois as he stands over Cobra.
