6WF Lockdown Results! - Friday 7th June!!

Rest in Pieces" blares out around the LG Arena and the crowd cheer loudly as a huge display of pyrotechnics goes off at the top of the stage, it's followed by a load of strobe lighting and then a highlights package from last week's 6WF Lockdown.

The camera's then pan to the commentary desk...

RJ:Good evening Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to 6WF Lockdown live on Eurosport and Eurosport HD, and broadcasting from the LG Arena, Birmingham. As always I am joined by Michael Wire on commentary.

MW:Good evening RJ and good evening to the millions of you watching at home, what a show we have in store for you tonight here on Lockdown!

RJ: That's right, tonight we have an action packed evening as the run up to Explosion nears a climax. Tonight, 8 men will compete for a slot in the most brutal and most devestating match in 6WF history, Hardcore Hell.

MW: Not only that, but we'll see The Consultancy, Vortex and Oko, attacked and assaulted by Re-Genesis, take on Cassius Zhi and Geoff Steel in what promises to be an explosive main event.

RJ: Will Kristal return the 6WF Freeweight Title to Max Adamson? How will The Saint and Mike Hill work together when they take on Dopant Zero? And what next for Keith Leone? After weeks of assaults, what state of mind is the 6WF Champion in? We'll find out tonight!

The camera pans around the arena, picking out various signs from the crowd....

'I LOVE CORINNE BAILEY RAE'
'PUT YOUR SUNGLASSES ON'
'WHEN DOES CM FUNK GET HERE?'
'STANDARD MIKE HILL'
'VINTAGE SAINT'
'ORIGINAL CLARKE JAMES'
'POOR QUALITY ILLEGAL VIDEO CASSETTE'
'DAVE?'
'WHY ARE YOU ALL SHOUTING?'

*The camera pans around the LG Arena, with the 6WF crowd going wild with numerous signs on show. We end up at ringside with Michael Wire and RJ*

MW: "Last week saw Christopher Patricks pick up an impressive victory in the Fatal-4-way bout Arj!"

RJ: "Impressive? It was astonishing!"

MW: "Well to beat not only a former World Champ in Lex Hart, but two monsters in The Fanatic and Lukas Takeo was very impressive!"

RJ: "Patricks is a heck of a competitor Michael!!"

MW: "He is indeed. However we now head backstage where Jack Reynolds is with Lukas Takeo"

*The titantron kicks in and we head backstage where Jack Reynolds is standing outside Lukas Takeo's locker room*

Reynolds: "Yes thank you Michael, I am outside Lukas Takeo's locker room here, hoping to get an interview with the monster himself!"

*Reynolds tentatively knocks on Takeo's door, before Takeo can be heard saying "Enter" in deep tone. Reynolds enters*

Reynolds: "Hello Lukas, I was wondering if I could catch an interview with you?"

*Reynolds cowers by the door awaiting a response*

Takeo: "Of course you can Jack. Come on, be a man, I ain't nothing to be afraid of."

*Reynolds laughs nervously as Takeo motions for Reynolds to come towards him*

Takeo: "Come on Jack! How's your day been?"

*Takeo puts an arm round Reynolds, who is a little more confident now*

Reynolds: "It's been good Lukas. I got these new sunglasses off the new kid, CM Funk!"

*Reynolds takes some sunglasses out of his pocket*

Takeo: "Nice one, put em on then!"

Reynolds: "You want me to put my sunglasses on?! CHA CHA CHA!"

*Reynolds puts his sunglasses on, and starts to dance like CM Funk!*

Takeo: "Wow those are cool man! Yeah, come look at mine Jack, what do you think of them?"

*Takeo heads over to his bag, and motions for Reynolds to come over*

Takeo: "Look Jack can you see them?"

*Reynolds leans over*

Reynolds: "No I'm sor..."

*Reynolds is stopped mid sentence as Takeo lays him out with a right hand*

Takeo: "Of course I don't have any sunglasses you pillock. You need to learn to do your job better."

*Reynolds is laid knocked out on the floor. Takeo picks up his microphone, and stares into the camera*

Takeo: "Bloody sunglasses."

*Takeo stamps and breaks Reynolds sunglasses in half on the floor, before speaking*

Takeo: "Lukas Takeo is not a happy soul. Well in fact he is never a happy soul, but at the moment he is an especially unhappy soul. You wanna know why? Well it's quite simple. I'm losing."

*Takeo can be heard muttering to himself, seething*

Takeo: "Last week I should have won. But I didn't. I should have beaten Geoff Steel in the Fight for the Right Tournament. But I didn't. This is not something I wish to make a habit of. In fact it is something I will not make a habit of. Starting this week."

*Takeo wipes some sweat off his brow*

Takeo: "Scorpion you may think you and your little partner are going to become something. But lets not kid ourselves here. You're just Scorpion. A pesky, whinging, little superstar, who blames his failures on old guys, when actually he isn't good enough. Something we will again see on Friday night, as I Lukas Takeo will qualify for Hardcore Hell."

*Takeo points at the screen, anger in his eyes*

Takeo: "If you even think about getting that Riddick involved Scorpion, then I'll make sure the both of you go out of that ring on stretchers. You hear got that you insignificant little rat?"

*Takeo takes a breathe before continuing*

Takeo: "As for Hardcore Hell. It won't matter who qualifies. It won't matter what Crime Lord does. I was the man who made the biggest impact at the last Hardcore Hell and I will be damned if I don't make the same impact again."

*Takeo chucks the microphone at the knocked out Reynolds, as he leaves the locker room...*

Scorpion can be seen backstage after hearing what Takeo had to say, he notices the camera man and tells him to film him.

S: So Lucas you have one good dominant debut and you think you suddenly run this show?

Scorpion smirks sarcastically.

S: I don’t think that’s delusional at all Takeo but i can say that its fucking crazy, it’s like the definition of insanity you keep saying the same thing over and over again expecting shit to change and that is crazy because you see Lucas you continue to remind everyone of your debut and how you destroyed someone from the roster.

S: But you see that’s the only thing you are associated with and then you claim that I am worthless and a failure and that you will destroy me if Solomon is involved, please elaborate how you seek to destroy the original monster of 6WF, the man who is the fallen of great power and has the ability to cause major destruction that you and everyone else have never seen Lucas.

Scorpion gets closer to the camera.

S: As for you saying I am a failure well that’s rich is it not coming from a religious prophet, I am being called a failure by a man who has never had a piece of gold around his weight and claims he will cause terror but we all damn know that you won’t cause anything after all you are the failure, I am already a 2 time hardcore champion Lucas and the only reaming and most successful wrestler to come from developmental but you don't seem to understand Lucas I am in the history books and currently i am rewriting it.

S: On Lockdown you will be defeated Lucas and the world will watch as I take the spotlight once more as I take my rightful place in the Hardcore Hell qualifier, these are your end of days Lucas and listen well as they will be the last words you hear, i will make a stand and make sure people notice of these corruptions, Friday Lucas your domination comes to an end as they will make sure you face your Resistance,

Scorpion gets even closer to the camera with a sick smile on his face.

S: After all Lucas you think there’s something you can do to stop them but you are delusional, they are everywhere and everyone, they are lurking in the shadows watching your every move, every step, where ever you go Lucas they will be there, you can run but you cannot hide as they seek, they are the true runners of this game and there is no escape, you can very much try but you will fail eventually they will find you and make you pay Lucas, After all they know how it ends.

S: Be very prepared as..

THEY DO NOT FORGIVE

THEY DO NOT FORGET

Scorpion barges past the camera man causing the camera to fall to the ground.

RJ: Singles action to kick off this final edition of Lockdown, and the first of the 4 Hardcore Hell qualifiers scheduled for tonight’s show!

MW: A very interesting contest to kick off the night, between two men who would certainly be well suited to the Hardcore Hell structure.

RJ: But only one of them can advance to that stage, no doubt the other potential competitors in the match will be happy with that!

The lights go down in the arena as 'Wake Up' by Rage Against The Machine blasts out over the speakers, suddenly the tron flickers into life as the image of two scorpion tails whip into shot creating an 'X' with the words "Anger Is A Gift" underneath as the music fully kicks in Scorpion steps out onto the stage where he stops and forms an X with his arms as diagonal pyros explode around him and the crowd descend into a chorus of boos. Scorpion walks down the ring confidently, he stops at the bottom of the ramp before sliding into the ring.

MW: Scorpion a 2 time Hardcore Champion, the Hardcore Hell match would give him a chance to get back in touch with those Hardcore abilities.

RJ: But to get there, he’s going to have to perform to his best up against one of 6WF’s most monstrous competitors.

“From Yesterday” roars out around the LG Arena and the crowd’s booing continues as the arena descends into darkness for a moment. The lights switch on and Lukas Takeo strides to the ring slowly, a towel draped over his bowed head. Takeo steps into the ring, he removes the towel from his head and stares down at Scorpion.

RJ: Who could forget Takeo’s debut in 6WF, after a long build up, his first appearance came in the inaugural Hardcore Hell match.

MW: And what an appearance that was. He destroyed every person in that match and he has only got better since then.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Lukas Takeo and Scorpion lock-up, the monster uses his strength to drive Scorpion back into the corner. Takeo holds Scorpion’s head with his left hand, then smashing big punches into the cranium with his right. Scorpion frees himself from Takeo’s grip, he then prods Takeo in the eye. The big man stumbles back and Scorpion runs into him, only for Takeo to knock Scorpion down with a huge clothesline.

Ref: 1..............2........Kick out!

Scorpion drives the shoulder up, Takeo rolls up to his feet and drives a number of big knees down into the stomach of the former Hardcore Champion. Takeo then brings Scorpion up to his feet and connects with a belly to belly throw. Scorpion stumbles up and Takeo strides over, grinning. He drives a knee into the side of Scorpion then hitting a lifting reverse DDT. Cover.

RJ: Very impressive start to this match from Lukas Takeo!

MW: His power-game really is something to behold, it’s what made him one of the most feared competitors in 6WF.

Ref: 1............2.........Kick out!

Lukas Takeo is up onto his feet, he places Scorpion into a sleeper hold. He gets to his feet and forcibly drags Scorpion with him. He swings Scorpion around wildly in the sleeper hold before finally letting him go. Scorpion falls to the corner, Takeo sprints in but Scorpion side-steps. Takeo crashes into the turnbuckles, Scorpion quickly hits a big dropkick to the back.

Takeo stumbles away from the corner and Scorpion chop-blocks him down to the canvas. Scorpion immediately grabs the right leg of Takeo and crashes it into the canvas repeatedly. Scorpion then runs off the ropes, hitting a leaping knee into the face. Cover.

Ref: 1............2........Kick out!

Scorpion rolls to a vertical base where he immediately starts stomping away on the head of Lukas Takeo. He continues with the stomping attack until the referee steps in and orders Scorpion to stop. Scorpion then drags Takeo towards the corner, where he slingshots him into the turnbuckle. Scorpion then gets to his feet and connects with a side Russian legsweep. He hooks the leg.

MW: Scorpion having to use his speed to counter-act the power of Takeo.

RJ: Scorpion will be hoping to put paid to the belief he cannot win a match without Solomon Riddick laying it on a plate for him.

MW: I see no problem with it, Scorpion brought Riddick in, why shouldn’t he ask for something in return?

Ref: 1...........2........Kick out!

Scorpion stands over Lukas Takeo waiting for him to rise, before nailing a knee into the stomach. Scorpion bounces off the ropes, connecting with a running bulldog. Takeo rolls over, Scorpion then heads up to the top rope...

RJ: Frog Splash!

Ref: 1...............2..........Kick out!

Lukas Takeo is brought to his feet by Scorpion. He goes to whip Takeo to the corner but Takeo uses his power to reverse, launching Scorpion to the corner. He goes for a moonsault but Takeo leaps into the air and nails a devastating spear on Scorpion!

MW: My god what a move from Takeo!

Ref: 1...........2...........Kick out!

Scorpion gets the shoulder up but the direction of the match has now completely changed. Takeo drags Scorpion to his feet and then slings him over his shoulders, before walking to the corner and hitting a Snake Eyes. Scorpion stumbles forward, Takeo hits a boot to the gut...

RJ: Sit down powerbomb! Absolute dominance now from Lukas Takeo!

MW: This is what would make him a huge threat in Hardcore Hell. He’s beaten some of the biggest names in 6WF such as Cassius Zhi and TGA, no-one can live with his power.

RJ: Then you put that power into a structure like Hardocre Hell...that is a dangerous mix.

Ref: 1.................2............Kick out!

Scorpion rolls to his feet and Takeo then sprints in and nails a big boot to the head. Takeo stands over Scorpion, waiting for him to rise. When Scorpion gets to his feet, Takeo places a big hand around the throat...

MW: Not a good situation for Scorpion...

RJ: CHOKESLAM!

Ref: 1......................2..............................3!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

RJ: Lukas Takeo wins the match and advances into the Hardcore Hell match.

MW: A supremely dominant display, Takeo laying down a real marker for that match at Explosion.

RJ: There are some powerful competitors in the match, none more so than Crime Lord, but I think even he will struggle to deal with Takeo’s power.

*The show heads backstage as the camera and audience welcome in a swarve looking Jack Reynolds. Reynolds is in the official 6WF interview area, with the 6WF logo behind his head with a black plasma screen television smartly resting on the wall, underneath the logo. Reynolds is dressed in his usual attire of black pinstripe suit with a silky blue tie. Their is a glint in eye as he welcomes the audience, holding his 6WF microphone to his lips.*

JR: Welcome ladies and Gentleman, my guest at this time.. the one and only, Mr Kenty!

*The camera widens to a mid-shot, allowing the audience and viewing audience to see Kenty. A few seconds pass before a surprisingly timid looking Kenty enters, shot his head looking one way and another his eyes looking large. He is wearing a pair of red chino shorts and a black shirt with a image of a white microphone on it. Reynolds smiles warmly at a edgy looking Kenty. Reynolds then Speaks cautiously to a apparent nervous looking Kenty who is checking behind the interview pad and the surronding area*

JR: Ermm.. Mr Kenty?

*Suddenly Kenty jumps and heads towards Jack Reynolds who is looking slightly quiet concerned. Kenty looks on with a serious demeanour as he begins to speak.*

Mr Kenty: Who set you up! your part of them aren't you! aren't you!

JR: I really don't know what your talking about Kenty.. but it's very uncomfortable.

*Suddenly, Kenty begins to bite his knuckle and laugh as Reynolds looks on slightly confused. chuckling away, Kenty continues to laugh before patting Reynolds on the shoulder, the roving reporter rolling his eyes and smiling in acceptance after being pranked.*

JR: Very funny Kenty..and for the record folks, I'm not apart of any faction or coalition in this industry..period!

Mr Kenty: And myself for the record am not I repeat am not apart of any faction or coalition in this industry.. period!

JR: You must know that game inside out Kenty.. checking all the area just to be sure..

Mr Kenty: Well, you got to be sure. However! I'm not afraid.. what is the worst they can do if they wan't to play ball with yours truly. And besides, if Alex wanted to play the sneaky attacking from behind phase of his new little gang then I think hiring Udo and Visage is a little bit of a wayward shot. Furthermore, I wouldn't say I was checking all area's.. more of a way of a slight sarcastic poke at the gang if I must say so myself.

Kenty: I think in my heart Alex Walker.. has felt a little left out and a little bored. Essentially, I think he may have way to much time on his hands. A obsession of the past? perhaps. Genesis itself was a totally different ball game and I think this new faction is trying to mirror what Genesis was all about. Genesis was the embodiment of chaos. Genesis was the embodiment of pain and Genesis was the embodiment of dominance persistently.

Mr Kenty: This new gang.. Berg..Visage..Steel.. Hidari for instance if I'm brutally honest.. lack what the original Genesis had. I find it funny how hypocritical some cats can be also. From fighting against Genesis, seemingly many are happy to join in this new revolution. Those who have criticised or condemned those, including yours truly who have been part of this gang of thugs in the past.

Mr Kenty: Essentially, you could say I'm a little disappointed in Alex. I still respect the man.. hell, I spoke to him over the phone a few weeks ago and he seemed very happy and content. It's ironic that he told me that he had some big and exciting plans ahead for 6WF which he was going to be ahead of. Now I know what he means in many ways.. I'm sure we will be talking again soon and I'd like to know his thinking.

Mr Kenty: Many are probably thinking Mr Kenty will somehow be apart of this plot, Mr Kenty will revert back his old ways or Mr Kenty will jump back to the darkside to further his career. Well I got a message to any of those who think that.. It ain't going to happen! naturally I wish Alex and his new cronies all the best in.. well copying what the real Genesis did back in the day. So I think the locker room best have eyes in the back of their heads!

Mr Kenty: I must admit I still have my old Genesis gear at home.. I got the original Genesis shirt even framed hung up on the wall! it played that bigger part of my life. But as I said.. that's behind me now. We all know we as a group had plenty of fun and I learnt a hell of a lot from the guys I surrounded myself with. Whether that was a good thing or not or the trouble I got in kind of spoke volumes in that respect mind! But I learnt a thing or two and therefore I managed to bring this to 6WF.. nearly, wow a year on!

Mr Kenty: If I'm honest with you Jack.. I have been in a reminiscent mood all week. Having no opponent for a few weeks now is good in the way that I can train even harder in the gym, do my PR bit for the company and visit charities around the world but despite all that I have been thinking about the past and how the past has influenced me to a massive extent. It's changed me as a person for sure and for that I can only be hugely grateful.

Mr Kenty: I still remember my first night on 6WF.. walking out of that curtain to a mixed reaction from the 6WF faithful.. from then on I knew I must earn their trust and their respect and I feel comfortable in saying I have. The following week I had a match against Kurt Hernandez.. now he was a tough cookie! I even remember watching 6WF when I was on 6CW, knowing that i would be facing this guy in a few weeks after Danny McGraw had phoned me saying my first opponent would be this guy. I was massively impressed.

Mr Kenty: And things just developed from their.. Vortex, Lukas Takeo, Mike Hill the list goes on. Those guys are just a few examples of the guys I have been lucky enough to ply my craft in the ring with and it's exactly what I expected a huge mountain of a challenge! It's thrilling to think their is plenty more and I cannot wait.. their is so much potential in this locker room it's an honour to be here in this era of 6WF. And who knows.. when I think I'm tired of this game, have a break.. I would probably make a comeback! I love it that much.

Mr Kenty: Reminiscing is good, but I also know that the future is far more important and the present is equally important. For instance, tonight is a big night and I think you know why. it's the big semi-final announcement for the Fight for the Right tournament and some of the names in the semi-final makes every fan, including my mouth water. Logan Kincade, Crime-Lord, Geoff Steel and Mr Kenty. Kincade, Crime-Lord and Geoff Steel names.. names linked with fame. Linked with glory and linked with title success after title success.

JR: Are you nervous?

Mr Kenty: Nervous.. not a bit. Why should I be? naturally, you get match-nerves Jack.. that's part and parcel. But nervous about those guys.. no. No I'm not. I know how they tick and how they operate. Kincade..the angry, aggressive and most ruthless man on this roster. Crime-Lord.. the ever ambitious and hard hitting superstar on this roster and Geoff Steel.. the man who has been World Champion before. You probably think I'm nervous but I'm not. If anything I should be excited about facing three of the most skilled and talented guys in this federation.

Mr Kenty: Logan Kincade.. I truly believe will be a world champion. How long was that cat Hardcore world champion for? a very long time and for a very good reason it was a long reign.. constant persistence with persistent dominance and the competence to compliment this. It was perfect. Match after match of brutality.. it makes me sweat even thinking about it! that cat can get down hard and nasty.. and I like that.

Mr Kenty: If I would be facing Logan Kincade.. I think I would have to add a new dimension to my wrestling. I would have to be prepared to get down and dirty.. and downright nasty. This guy has no emotion.. this guy has no morals and this guy simply doesn't care and these types of people are the hardest to negotiate with. It wouldn't be a case of me training hard for instance, It would be a case of being ring savy and praying that things go my way in the match.

Mr Kenty: If things didn't go my way.. well I think I would be carried off in a stretcher or being helped away from the ring by officials or medical staff. And that would be the least I would expect. But despite that.. I think I could hang with this cat. You know that song, if you want to play tough then let's get rough? yeah.. I think in a different context naturally but if the big guy want's to play tough then we can most certainly get rough. No euphemism intended of course!

Mr Kenty: Crime-Lord would be a diffrent kettle of fish.. Indeed, If I'm honest I'm not entirely sure of Crime Lord's full history. I know his involvement with the church aswell as reigns as World Champion which clearly goes to show the guys clear talent and prominance at the top of 6WF. Crime Lord is a guy knows how to win and his battles with Logan Kincade for instance clearly show this.

Mr Kenty: I have never contacted, spoke or wrestled Crime-Lord so it would be a totally new experience and totally as I said a new kettle of fish. I know he likes acting the big-guy with the cigar.. the suits etc. Perhaps he feels he has the right to after his achievements but complacency is the biggest career killer. I hope he keeps his fantastic ambition and focus because underneath all the attitude is a very similar guy to yours truly and I believe a match between us would be very close. Very close to call!

Mr Kenty: Cee has a lot on his plate also. I'm fully away he has an equally massive match at Explosion already in the form of Hardcore Hell and I know from being a general viewer of those type of matches.. they are nasty. Unforgiving and painful. I can only imagine his strategy.. which I could assume quite rightly be win at all costs. My already mututal respect for this guy is massive and if he were to be in both matches that said respect would be even higher.

Mr Kenty: Moving onto Geoff.. Wow. Geoff Steel. We have a lot of history.. which I'm proud of. I'm proud we have both seen each other and looked each other in the eye in the past and have forgiven each other over past events. Furthermore, I remember one of my first nights on 6CW where I interrupted Geoff trying to make a name for myself which was shot down by the man himself! look he is a legend. He is Geoff Steel and a former champion.

Mr Kenty: I don't know what's happened to Geoff recently.. it seems that he has become tired, jaded or perhaps a little frustrated with recent events which happens to everyone. Indeed, it's tough to see him apart of this Re-Genesis mind. I though Geoff was strong.. but clearly I may have been a little mistaken. See the strongest come through the storm to the light and come through shining.. Something has happened to Geoff and I would love to meet him in that ring one more time.

Mr Kenty: I'm looking forward to tonight.. massively. I'm going go to my area.. clear my head and spruce myself up for later tonight. Whack on a suit.. spray some cologne and jel this hair to look fantastic and then go meet my destiny. These amazing fans here in the LG arena and around the world will see this man walk into that very ring and stare the devil in the eye and say bring it on.. then fight like he has never fought before because his name is...


MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR KEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTYYYYY!!

Kenty!

*Nodding at Reynolds, Kenty winks and pats Jack on the shoulder before heading off in the opposite way in a purposeful manner. The scene then changes back to ringside where the crowd are cheering and a palpable excitement can be felt all around as the camera swings around the audience.*

RJ : Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, you are watching 6WF Lockdown live from the Birmingham Bowl where we have been joined during the break by the 6WF Freeweight Champion, Max Adamson.

The camera pans around the arena then shows the scene ringside, where Adamson is sat a few paces away from RJ and Wire, gently swinging on his swivel chair with his headset on – his Australian Title in his lap.

Adamson : Don’t forget RJ; that I am also the 6WF Australian Champion, and proud holder of a 5 and 0 record at Born in Fire. Oh… and also don’t forget that it is an absolute pleasure to have me here!

MW : It is that, Max.

“I Fought the Law” by The Clash begins playing and the fans cheer the arrival of Cameron Faith.

Adamson : You hear that? He fought the law? Cameron Faith’s fighting the law alright, the man is a damn crook – and so’s his bint! But this time the law is going to win RJ! Nobody steals my championship belt and gets away with it.

Faith tags the hands of the fans as he jogs down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope. He climbs the turnbuckle and gees up the fans before spinning around and sitting on the top rope, waiting for Kuinshi. Faith casts his eyes over to Adamson who stands up.

Adamson : She had better return that title belt Faith! Where is it?

Cameron laughs and shrugs his shoulders, infuriating Adamson who sits back down as “Lord of Winter Snow” by Luka Turilli blasts out, prompting another loud cheer from the capacity audience.

RJ : Here comes your other number one contender Max. What are your thoughts on your old Project X buddy, Kuinshi, being added to that match-up?

Adamson : Other number one contender? He’s the ONLY number one contender! Has Kristal “Nay Bother” whatever her surname is returned my Freeweight Title? No. So is Cameron “Nay Bother” Faith a number one contender? No! And whilst we’re on the subject of stealing… Kuinshi is stealing in on that match anyway – what has it got to do with him? I should be defending this title against someone who deserves a shot. Someone who’s put in a bit of legwork. Someone like Rasta… or CM Funk. Not a couple of petty thieves!

Kuinshi has made his way into the ring, and Faith jumps down from the turnbuckle to get ready, giving Kuinshi a cursory yet restrained nod.

RJ : A show of respect from Cameron there, but it will be playing in the back of his mind that Kuinshi abruptly evacuated him, and you Max, from the ring last week.

MW : AND that he is stealing in on Faith’s Freeweight Title shot!

Adamson : HE DOESN’T HAVE A SHOT!

The bell rings and Faith and Kuinshi lock up. Kuinshi wins the early power battle but Faith pushes him off, immediately trying to synch in a headlock. Kuinshi blocks and takes Cameron down to the mat with a side Russian legsweep. Kuinshi drops a quick elbow drop across Faith’s chest and then attempts a second but Faith is able to roll out of the way. Faith runs the ropes and prepares for a clothesline, but Kuinshi is quick to his feet and takes Cameron down again with a dropkick. The fans are cheering the rapid early action.

RJ : Kuinshi has the size advantage in this one, and a point to prove after Faith’s victory over him last week. Expect him to control the action here.

Kuinshi helps Cameron Faith up to his feet then strikes him with a couple of Muay Thai Elbows, rocking him back towards the ropes. Kuinshi uses the ropes to whip Faith into the opposite set, then meets him in the middle of the ring with a Tornado DDT and a quick cover.

Ref : 1…………2…………..

Faith gets his shoulder up and Kuinshi raises him to his feet again. Kuinshi attempts another elbow strike but it is blocked by Faith, who responds with a vicious backhand chop across Kuinshi’s chest. The crowd whoop, prompting Cameron to strike Kuinshi again and then with a third, before flooring Kuinshi with a standing clothesline. Cameron drops a leg drop across Kuinshi’s neck then makes a cover.

Ref : 1…..

Kuinshi instantly gets the shoulder up, but Nay takes the opportunity to retreat to the corner to catch breath. As Kuinshi gets to his feet, Cameron runs at him and nails another clothesline, then as Kuinshi gets up once more, Cameron drives him to the mat with a DDT and another cover.

Ref : 1…….2…….

Kuinshi is up again but Cameron takes him up into a headlock. Faith engineers this into a running bulldog but Kuinshi gets an elbow into his opponent’s ribs before throwing him off and into the ropes. Kuinshi follows him in on the rebound and takes Faith down with a Lou Thesz press, followed up with some alternating punches to Cameron’s skull, much to the crowd’s pleasure.

RJ : These fans loving the tenacity shown by Kuinshi tonight.

Adamson : The fans are just surprised RJ. Because for someone who spends so much time being a complete nutsack, Kuinshi produces very little in the way of testosterone.

Faith is groggily getting back to his feet but Kuinshi is already there and goes for a dropkick which Faith scouts and pushes away, then with a burst of energy Faith is on Kuinshi, pounding his back and kidneys with forearm blows. Kuinshi struggles up but Faith hooks him under his arm and takes him over with a suplex, which the fans cheer.

Faith keeps hold of Kuinshi’s tights and lifts him to his feet, still hooked under his arm.

RJ : Faith’s going for a second suplex here

Fans : wooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOAH YEAH!

Faith nails Kuinshi with a second suplex, then immediately gets back up and goes for a third.

Fans : wooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOAH! YEAH!

RJ : Cameron Faith with three big suplexes, and he seems to be enjoying the fans reaction here… he’s going to go for an unusual fourth!

Cameron, starting to look wearied from the three suplexes he has delivered, lifts Kuinshi up again, gets him into the suplex position, and looks out into the crowd with a smile. But before taking Kuinshi over, he turns his victim 180 degrees so he can look at Adamson at ringside with the same smile.

RJ : Here we go…. This one’s for you Max… NO! COUNTER!

Kuinshi takes the moment’s opportunity and breaks free, flipping Cameron onto his back by taking his legs out from underneath him. Quick as a flash Kuinshi locks in a Reverse Figure Four Leg Lock and Cameron begins shouting in anguish.

RJ : MY WORD WHAT A COUNTER! And now Faith is stranded in the middle of the ring.

Kuinshi sits up, increasing the torque of the hold, and so that he can watch Faith’s pain-contorted face. Kuinshi smacks the mat with both hands, trying to goad Faith into submitting.

RJ : There’s nowhere for Faith to go! His showing off to Adamson has left him in THE MOST precarious position.

Faith’s hand clutches out hopefully but nowhere near one of the ropes and then hits the mat once. The ref gets down to watch for a tap, telling Faith to give it up, but Cameron with beads of sweat running down his face utters a broken no.

RJ : Faith is going to have to quit here…. NO! WHAT STRENGTH!

Faith looks on the verge of submitting, but with one concentrated display of strength, manages to flip the move so that the pressure is on Kuinshi. Kuinshi howls with pain and buries his face into the mat.

Kuinshi looks to be in trouble, but his size advantage pays off as his longer legs enable him to force out of the move and to the ropes fairly quickly. Faith is quick up however, and runs over to Kuinshi, pulling him back to the centre of the ring by his leg, then locking in the Ankle Lock.

RJ : NOW KUINSHI REALLY IS IN TROUBLE!

Faith wastes no time ramping up the ferocity of the ankle lock, and now it’s Kuinshi’s time to look anguished, pleadingly reaching for the ropes! Kuinchi buries his head into the mat again and seethes through clenched teeth.

RJ : How does it feel to see how much it means to these two Adamson? Neither man will give an inch to the other! This is what you will have to defend your Freeweight Title against. This passion! This hunger!

Adamson : Listen RJ. They can take as much as they want out of each other now, I don’t care! And they can try and equal each other as much as they like now. But neither will be able to equal me. Because I am better! That’s why I go home every night with a prime slice of ribsteak like Clarissa, whilst Cameron “Nay Bother” Faith settles for some low-rent Tulisa and Kuinshi some hippy chick he met on a bus!

In the ring, Kuinshi is edging towards the ropes but is not close enough and Faith pulls him back to the centre.

RJ : HE’S GONNA TAP! KUINSHI’S GONNA TAP!

Kuinshi’s arm falters, looking certain to tap but then in a phenomenal display of strength of his own, he twists and hauls himself up to one foot, nailing Faith with an Enzeguri. Kuinshi limps over to the turnbuckle opposite Max, looking down on the Freeweight Champion, then starts climbing to the top.

RJ : Kuinshi going big risk now to get this won!

Cameron himself uses the opposite turnbuckle to get to his feet and looks over his shoulder to see Kuinshi slowly climbing. Faith turns on a sixpence and runs at Kuinshi, who spots him coming and vaults off the turnbuckle over his head – with Cameron only narrowly stopping himself from running headfirst into the steel.

RJ : OH LOOK… KUIN….

Faith turns around to see Kuinshi stumble on the ankle that was in the submission hold and immediately seizes the advantage with a Super Kick to the jaw of his opponent.

Faith drops tired into a cover

Ref : 1……………..2……………………..3!

Fans : YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

RJ : Cameron Faith has pinned Kuinshi for the second week in a row. The ankle lock paying dividends and allowing Faith to steal a victory here tonight.

Adamson : That’s not the only thing he’s stolen though is it RJ?

Adamson rips off his headset and throws it down, getting Faith’s attention.

RJ: What a contest!

MW: What a co-commentator!

RJ: It's a shame it looks like he hasn't finished talking yet.

Adamson grabs a mic and slides into the ring as Faith celebrates his victory. Faith stops his celebrations and looks at Adamson.

RJ: As if we haven’t heard enough from him already.

MW: Shut up RJ! Adamson is gold, let’s hear what he wants to say!

Max Adamson: Very impressive victory there Cameron, you beat a man who I’ve beaten so many times I can’t remember the exact number of times I’ve left Kuinishi lay flat on his back in the middle of the ring looking into the lights.

But that’s not what I wanted to talk about. You’ve had your little joke now, you’ve hidden the Freeweight Title from Max Adamson for the past couple of weeks and it’s been relatively entertaining for yours and Kristal’s simple minds I’m sure. However, the joke is now wearing a little thin. I’m no longer playing along, being the nice guy...Cameron, where the hell is my Freeweight Championship?!

*Cameron Faith is looking down at the mat, his feet shuffling a little.

RJ: Faith looks a bit nervy here...

Just as Max Adamson is about to talk once more, Kristal walks out onto the stage with the 6WF Freeweight Title. She steps into the ring and passes the Freeweight Title to Max Adamson. Faith quickly swipes the mic from the hands of Adamson...

Cameron Faith: I bet you’re glad you have that belt back Max. But I wouldn’t get used to it, because at Explosion, I will be winning it back!

*Faith leaves the ring, with Kristal following. Kuinishi is up to his feet, he looks at Max and smirks. Adamson smiles back before clocking Kuinishi with the title belt. He stands over Kuinishi, holding the Freeweight Title above his head and staring down Faith as Lockdown goes to a commercial break.

We go backstage and are greeted by the sight of The Saint, stood outside his locker room, the TAW World Championship rested over his shoulder. He stands with his traditional sunglasses covering his eyes and is looking away from the camera. He slowly turns his head to face it...

The Saint: Tell me, Mike, please, humour me. Just how did it feel?

How did it feel when you're 'cunning', calculated plan of attack backfired on you?! How did it feel to really feel the full, elegant... Beautiful force of Divine Intervention?! I'd wager at humiliation, I'd guess at shame, I'd propose that you were subjected to the moral and physical degradation that you rightfully deserve for the severe, the outright criminal lack of respect you've shown towards me.

You must have had it all mapped out, all ready to execute. The holder of the title you crave, laid out, beaten, subjected to ignominy of defeat. You wanted to have the last laugh, inflict just that little bit more insult to injury.

But, Mike, there's one thing you need to remember, one thing you need to comprehend. I'm not just any other man. I'm The Saint. Any other mortal, any other pretender, Mike and you might have succeeded. But me? I carry an innate instinct to survive, to succeed, to be better and THAT...

The Saint removes his sunglasses.

The Saint: THAT is why it was you that ended up flat on your ass and not me. Because, Mike, I always find a way. I have the instinct, the experience and the know how of a champion. What do you have?

From my point of view, not a lot. You're just a pissy little kid, who isn't good enough to get what he wants, so he tries every trick in the book to get it. But after all that, you still haven't prized this belt from my grasp, you're still just ORDINARY Mike Hill. You walk around implying you're some sort of mover and shaker here, that you're worth something. But you aren't Mike, you really aren't.

You aren't the standard, Mike.

You're a pretender, a nearly man, someone who hasn't got the gut, the instinct to make that one step and break that ceiling. Let's face it, you only won your only World Title because the other guy couldn't stand up.

And this week, we're teamed together, we have to try and work together as unit, against this company's tag team champions. I'm willing to co-exist for the match, Mike. I'm willing to place the animosity aside, because if there's one thing I despise more than you, it's defeat, failure, losing. I'm willing to co-operate, so that you can truly see what it means to be a champion. See how a champion conducts himself, realise just why there is such a chasm between us and more importantly, when I score the and carry your ass to a match that is more than just STANDARD, you'll see just why they always say VINTAGE Saint.

See you later, Mike.

James McManus is stood backstage with Jack Reynolds...

JR: James, you've been absent for the last few weeks following the death of your grandfather, legendary wrestler Mick McManus, how does it feel coming back?

JM: It's not easy, Jack. My grandad was the reason i got into wrestling. He shaped me into the performer i am today, he's the reason i hold this....

McManus lifts the 6WF European Title in the air to a pop from the crowd...

JM: But i know what Grandad Mick would say. He'd tell me to stop moping round, stop feeling sorry for myself and accept that from the second you're born you're already dying. You've got to take your chances when they come and make the most of your opportunites, and thats what i'm going to do. I'm going to be a 6WF European Champion that he would've been proud of...

McManus is talking as the faint sound of clapping can be heard and the camera turns round to see Jerome Dubois walking towards McManus, sarcastically applauding as James turns to stare at him...

JD: Aw, zat is so sad. Poor Grandad, zis must ov been a very heartbreaking occasion, non? But is good ya, cause you av manage to come out 'ere and draw sympathy for zis crowd. A typical brit, so classless and crude. Milking ze death ov your grandfather to excuse your poor reign as European Champion. Let me tell you something, McManus. You will not fool me. I will not fall for zis charade. I am ze definition of European, i am ze Capitan of Culture, and i will be ze new Champion of Europe.

Dubois blows smoke fro his custom cigarette into the face of McManus and walks off as we head to commercial.

RJ: Next up we have a Hardcore Hell qualifying match between two of the most ferocious superstars in 6WF history.

MW: The seasoned brawler Finlay takes on ReGenesis’ newest recruit Kenji Hidari in a match that will be brutal to say the least.

“Mad Dog Coll” plays out as the fans erupt into cheers as Finlay strides out onto the stage. Finlay smiles at the positive reaction he has gotten, before raising one arm to salute the fans as he then walks down towards the ring, tagging fans hands as he goes. Finlay then rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and begins stretching off as he waits for his opponent.

“The Essence” plays out as the fans boo loudly and Kenji Hidari skulks out onto the stage. Hidari sneers at the fans, before pointing down at Finlay and jogging down the ramp, taking care to avoid contact with the fans, before sliding under the bottom rope and then going nose to nose with Finlay. The two men trade words before the referee finally intervenes and pushes both men back into opposite corners of the ring.

MW: Hidari is one tough customer and with Walker’s backing he’s only going to get worse, there is absolutely no fear in his eyes here.

RJ: Hidari is definitely tough, but he needs to understand Finlay is as tough as they come here in 6WF, if Hidari wants to beat him, I wouldn’t advise a brawl with this man.

The referee checks over both men for a few moments before calling for the bell and instantly Hidari springs out of the corner. Finlay remains in his corner in a cagey manner though, waiting for Hidari to make the first move, all the time Hidari is semi-circling around Finlay, trying to find an opening to attack from. Hidari finally springs at Finlay and tries grab at him, but Finlay is able to duck underneath the attack and then starts to pound away at Hidari in the corner before the referee intervenes and pulls the two men apart. Finlay though doesn’t let this hinder his attack too much as he then grabs Hidari and whips him across the ring into the opposite turnbuckle, but Hidari is able to stop himself crashing directly into the corner and then leaps over the ropes as Finlay charges in after him, and Finlay then goes crashing into the turnbuckles. Hidari then grabs the head of Finlay, before dropping off of the ring apron and performing a hangman to Finlay, crushing his throat over the top rope and leaving him reeling backwards. Hidari quickly slides into the ring and as Finlay looks up at Hidari, Hidari runs at him and hits a running clothesline, sending him crashing down to the mat. Hidari is then quick as he drops to his knees and begins choking Finlay with both hands as the referee then starts counting out Hidari, who finally stops his assault at a count of four, before scornfully looking back up at the referee. Hidari then starts hitting some hard punches to the head of Finlay, keeping him grounded, before Hidari then gets to his feet and hits a singular hard stomp to the head of Finlay who falls flat on his back to the mat now. Hidari then lifts Finlay up to his feet and then pushes Finlay back into the ropes and starts hitting some hard chops to the chest of Finlay, before then whipping Finlay across the ring, and on Finlay’s return Hidari hits a low angled drop kick to the knee of Finlay who falls face first down to the mat. Finlay slowly then begins to get to a kneeling position and Hidari waits patiently for Finlay to do so, before then running across the ring behind Finlay, and then runs back in to hit a drop kicks to the back of the head of Finlay, who is left on the mat cradling his head. Hidari stays on his knees for a moment and admires his handy work as Finlay remains rolling on pain in the mat, before Hidari then slowly gets to his feet and starts to boot at Finlay, until Finlay rolls into the corner, and Hidari then sticks his boot in the throat of Finlay and begins choking him once again, all the time holding the ropes to gain further leverage on the choke. The referee then comes in to intervene once again and Hidari this time lets go of the hold quickly and smirks at the referee once again as he waits across the ring whilst the referee checks on the condition of Finlay, who is coughing quite violently now. Hidari starts to berate the referee and tells him to get Finlay up, but the referee seems unwilling to do so, before Finlay then pushes the referee and begins climbing to his feet and Hidari then sprints towards Finlay, hitting a running clothesline into the corner and crushing Finlay, before then hitting some repeated body shots, finally finishing with an uppercut to Finlay, dazing him. Hidari then grabs Finlay in a waist-lock, before then throwing Finlay back over his head to hit a bell to belly suplex. Finlay is left crashed out on the floor, and Hidari is now even more sedate in walking over towards his opponent, before then repeatedly stomping on the head of Finlay, trying to weaken him further. Hidari then starts hitting some repeated knee drops across the upper chest and throat area of Finlay, keeping Finlay down on the mat in pain, before he finally eases the attack and drags Finlay up to his feet. Hidari then strongly whips Finlay back into the turnbuckles causing Finlay to go crashing into the corner chest first, driving the air from his lungs and inducing further coughing. Hidari then walks over to the opposite corner and takes a moment to measure up Finlay, before charging in to Finlay and jumping into the air to his a double knee attack to the back of the head and back of Finlay, driving him into the corner, and then allowing Finlay to collapse back out of the corner. Hidari then makes a cover.

Kick out.

Hidari glares up at the referee after the kick out and then proceeds to hit a hard right hand to the face of Finlay who clutches his face in pain after the punch, before Hidari then begins to grind his forearm into the face of Finlay, focusing on the mouth area. Finlay tries his best to get free but can’t, but is still unable to do so, and is eventually forced to bite the arm of Hidari, at which point he pulls his arm away quickly and begins to shout for the referee to disqualify Finlay. The referee though simply begins to warn Hidari about trying to do the referee’s job for him and then says he couldn’t see Finlay biting, and this seems to infuriate Hidari, who then looks down at a now smiling Finlay, before hitting a hard boot to the face of Finlay. Hidari then pulls Finlay to the corner and sits him up in a seated position before hitting some stomps to the gut and face of Finlay, and then backs away across the ring, before then running back in and hitting a low angle drop kick to the face of Finlay, which causes him to slump to a lying position in the corner. Hidari then proceeds to pull Finlay out of the corner slightly, still keeping him relatively close though, before Hidari then steps onto the bottom rope and pushes himself up from the mat and when he then falls back he hits a knee drop across the upper chest of Finlay. Finlay tries to roll away in pain once again, but Hidari keeps him in the corner, and then repeats the knee attack, once again insuring Finlay stays in the corner. Hidari then steps onto the second rope this time and hits the knee attack from a higher position this time, causing even more damage this time. Finlay this time curls up after the impact, trying to protect his chest and neck area from further damage, but Hidari seems content with the damage he has caused so far and allows Finlay time to recover slightly. Hidari finally seems to get tired of watching Finlay as he then lifts Finlay to his feet, before then lifting Finlay into the air and hitting a body slam, before then running to the ropes, and on his return Hidari leaps high into the air before coming crashing down with a leg drop to Finlay, further damaging his chest and throat area. Hidari then rolls away from Finlay and then begins to kick at Finlay, toying with him as Finlay remains completely defenseless, holding his throat in pain all the time barely being able to breath. Hidari then waits patiently for Finlay, who is now crawling over to the corner and is using the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, before finally turning around and signaling for Hidari to come and fight him. Hidari smirks at Finlay’s actions and goes charging in at him and before Finlay is able to react Hidari is hitting a series of punches to Finlay who is on the back foot and is unable to fully defend himself. Finally Finlay is able to push Hidari away, and with his strength throws a wild right hand at Hidari, but Hidari is able to duck the impact. Hidari then grabs Finlay in a rear waist lock, before throwing him backwards and hitting a German suplex, keeping his hands clasped around Finlay’s waist. Hidari then pulls both men back to their feet and then hits another German suplex, again keeping his hands locked and pulling both men up to their respective feet slowly. Hidari seems to put in a lot of effort into the third throw, and this time releases Finlay who lands on his upper back after the suplex. Finlay now barely reacts from the impact and just simply lies limp on the mat as Hidari very slowly gets up and starts to walk towards the fallen Finlay. Hidari kicks at him once again, this time though as if to check if Finlay is indeed incapacitated or playing possum, before Hidari eventually begins to pull Finlay up to his feet. Hidari then hits some hard elbow and forearm shots to the face of Finlay, before hitting a throat thrust which causes Finlay to splutter once again. Hidari then lifts up Finlay onto his shoulders, before parading him around for a moment, then hitting an Island Driver to Finlay, driving his skull into the mat. Hidari then makes the cover.

Kick out.

MW: You know, for a guy on a pretty bad losing streak, Hidari isn’t doing too bad huh RJ? It seems being part of ReGenesis has really re-energized him and is making him a real force to be reckoned with.

RJ: I can only echo your sentiments partner, this seems like a whole new Kenji Hidari, and he’s a man that is really pushing around a 6WF Legend.

Hidari slams the mat in anger and begins to berate the referee for a slow count, but the referee just signals back that it was a two and Hidari then just throws his arms up in anger, before then hitting some hard punches to the head of Finlay. The referee then drags Hidari off of Finlay and warns him about a disqualification and Hidari seems to be almost seething in anger as he then pushes past the referee and proceeds to lift Finlay up before shooting him to the ropes, and on his return going for a clothesline, but Finlay is able to duck it, and as Hidari turns around Finlay hits a hard right hand which staggers Hidari back. Finlay then hits another punch to Hidari which staggers him again, before Hidari then throws a punch at Finlay but then is able to grab the arm of Hidari, before hitting a punch to the face of Hidari again which knocks Hidari to the mat this time. As Hidari then quickly pulls himself to his feet, he turns right around into another punch from Finlay, who knocks Hidari back into the ropes, before Finlay then whips Hidari off of the ropes, and on his return Finlay lifts Hidari up into the air and then hits a powerslam, leaving both men down on the mat. Finlay is the first to move and gets up from the mat and then collapses into the corner to try and rest up for a moment, before taking some deep breaths as he then walks over to Hidari who is slowly getting up to his feet. Finlay then pushes Hidari into the corner and starts hitting some boxer like punches to the mid-section and then the face, trying to keep his feet moving as to keep Hidari distracted and keep his next move slightly unpredictable. Finlay then finally hits a hard right hand which seems to jolt Hidari slightly as he then collapses to a seated position in the corner. Finlay then continues his attack as he hits some mud hole stomps to the mid-section of Hidari, who is unable to defend himself from the attack as the referee is finally forced to intervene and pull away Finlay, who glares back at Hidari as he tries to get back up to his feet. Finlay then walks back towards Hidari and is able to catch Hidari before he can escape the ring, before Finlay then pulls up Hidari and hits a hard knee to the mid-section doubling over Hidari. Finlay then goes behind Hidari and hooks his arm, before lifting him into the air, then bringing him crashing down to the mat with a back suplex. Hidari grabs his back in pain after the impact and Finlay slowly gets to his feet, stretch his shoulders and neck back now, trying to reopen his airways, before looking back down at his fallen adversary. Finlay then walks over to Hidari and proceeds to hit some knee drops to the left side of Hidari’s ribs, causing him to crease up in pain. Finlay then rolls Hidari over with his foot and starts to stomp at the spine of Hidari, furthering his attack and keeping Hidari down on the mat. Finlay then finally pulls Hidari up to his feet, before grabbing him by the legs and then lifting him up into the air, then dropping him down with an inverted atomic drop, doubling Hidari over in pain. Finlay then runs back across the ring and on his return hits a running clothesline sending Hidari down to the mat. Finlay then rolls Hidari over onto his front and hits another stomp to the back, before then running across the ring adjacent to Hidari, and on his return leaping into the air, before coming crashing back down with an elbow drop to the back. Hidari cries out in pain as he rolls around on the mat still clutching his back as Finlay then pulls Hidari up to his feet and hits a clubbing blow to the back of Hidari, who would fall down to the mat if Finlay didn’t keep hold of him. Finlay though pushes Hidari into the ropes and hits a couple of stiff punches to the face of Hidari, who is clearly dazed, before whipping Hidari across the ring. On Hidari’s return Finlay lifts him up by the legs and parades him around the ring for a few moments in a sidewalk slam position, before then dropping him back first across his knee and hits a backbreaker, which again leads to shouts on pain from Hidari as falls to the mat, and Finlay in turn then makes a cover.

Kick out.

Finlay looks down with slight disappointment as Hidari kicks out, but the 6WF Legends Club member quickly goes back on the offensive, lifting Hidari’s head off of the mat briefly before hitting a hard right hand and sending him back down. Finlay though doesn’t continue with the assault and instead backs off and leaves Hidari to continue to lie in pain on the mat as Finlay gets up and further rests by the ropes, trying to get as much recovery time as possible. Hidari then slowly starts to pull himself up to his feet, but Finlay is quick to pounce on him as he does so, and grabs Hidari in a front face lock, before hitting some knee lifts to the mid-section of Hidari, wearing him down, before then targeting his back with some hard blows to the back. Finlay repeats the attack a few more times before Hidari finally falls to the mat in pain, at which point Finlay drops down with a front first elbow, the point of his elbow driving into the spine of Hidari. Hidari then shouts out in pain as Finlay backs away from him, before then running back in and flipping forward to hit a senton like move, landing with full force across the back of Hidari. Hidari now writhes around in pain on the mat, shouting in agony as Finlay gets to his feet and then begins to walk towards Hidari. Finlay then hits some hard stomps to Hidari who eventually rolls to the ropes and lies underneath them in an attempt to gain some rest from the attack. The referee then does intervene and pulls Finlay away before going to check on the condition of Hidari. Hidari slowly begins to pull himself to his feet using the ropes, but as the referee then steps away from him, Finlay is instantly on the attack as he starts to hit some hard forearms to the back of Hidari, almost causing Hidari to fall to the mat once again. Finlay though is able to keep Hidari on his feet as he continues the attack, keeping up the assault on Hidari’s back. Finlay then walks around to the front of Hidari and hits a hard kick to the gut of Hidari who double completely over now, before Finlay then hooks the arm and head of Hidari, before lifting Hidari into the air, then turning to face the ropes, before dropping Hidari across the top rope, then throwing him back over his head to hit a suplex. Hidari clutches his back on the mat as Finlay looks on at Hidari, before getting to his feet and hitting a couple of stomps to the back, before then pulling Hidari to his feet and pushing him into the corner. Finlay then whips Hidari strongly across the ring, sending him cannoning into the opposite corner spine first, causing Hidari to collapse down to the mat after the impact. Finlay then quickly walks over the corner and picks up Hidari once again, before again strongly whipping Hidari across the ring, sending him back first into the corner. Hidari this time bounces more strongly out of the corner and falls to the mat clasping his back and begging Finlay for mercy as he walks over towards Hidari, but Finlay shows none of it as he stomps at Hidari a couple of times, before then pulling Hidari to his feet and then pushing him chest first into the corner. Finlay ten begins hitting some shoulder presses straight to the centre of the spine of Hidari, who shouts in agony after each impact. The referee goes to intervene, but Finlay stops the attack before he can do so, and then pulls Hidari out of the corner, before grabbing Hidari, spinning him around, placing him in a front waist lock, then hitting a falling belly to belly suplex to Hidari, making sure that Hidari lands firmly on his back. Finlay now signals something to the fans who begin to cheer as he then picks up Hidari and pushes him into the corner once again, before hitting some stiff punches once again, before then lifting Hidari to a seated position on the top rope. Finlay then climbs to the second rope and then hooks the arm and head of Hidari, before flipping him back over the head of Finlay and hitting a superplex to Hidari, leaving both men laid out on the mat for a few moments. Finlay then begins to stir and crawls to a cover on Hidari.

Kick out.

Finlay looks up at the referee with an expression of shock across his face as the referee signals that it was only a two count. Finlay then gets to his feet and seems to be puzzled as to what to do next, before then dragging Hidari up to his feet and throwing him into the corner violently. Hidari goes back first into the turnbuckle and winces as Finlay then charges towards him and hits a running splash into the corner, crushing the life out of Hidari. As Hidari then falls out of the corner Finlay then begins to climb the turnbuckles, keeping on watching Hidari as he climbs to the top rope. Finlay finally reaches the top rope and turns to face Hidari, and begins to measure him up as the referee checks on Hidari who is now clutching his back in agony suddenly. Finlay motions for the referee to move, but he remains checking on Hidari, when suddenly Hidari lurches forward and pushes the referee who goes crashing back into the ropes, which causes Finlay to lose his footing and land awkwardly across the top turnbuckle. The referee berates Hidari but Hidari pleads his innocence and says it was simply a reaction move, but then goes over to Finlay before hitting a hard throat thrust which nearly causes Finlay to fall off of the top rope, but Hidari then catches him, and puts Finlay over his shoulders, and with his last remaining strength Hidari pulls Finlay out of the corner, before hitting the Genshin in the centre of the ring. Hidari then grabs his back in pain, before crawling into the cover on Finlay.

3.

“The Essence” plays out as the fans boo loudly as Kenji Hidari is declared the winner. Hidari then stumbles to his feet and raises his arm to the crowd, before slowly going to the ropes and exiting the ring. Hidari then starts to stumble up the ramp as Finlay begins to get up in the ring, using the ring ropes to haul himself to his feet. Finlay smiles at the cheers from the fans and raises his arm to them in thanks and begins to make some poses as the fans continue their support for him. Suddenly those cheers turn to boos though as Scorpion comes sprinting down the ramp and slides into the ring. As Finlay then turns to face Scorpion, Scorpion spears him to the mat before hitting some repeated punches to the head and then begins throttling Finlay. The referee tries to intervene but Scorpion pushes him away, before Scorpion finally stops the attack. Scorpion then starts to pound the mat as Finlay starts to pull himself up to his feet, before Scorpion then jumps into the air to hit the Death Stalker, but at the last second Finlay is able to push Scorpion away from him, causing Scorpion to smash onto the mat. As Scorpion then gets back up he turns around to a hard right hand from Finlay, before then quickly getting up and eating another one. Scorpion then dazedly gets up for a third time, and this time Finlay truly measures Scorpion before hitting the Kilkenny KO, leaving Scorpion senseless on the mat. Suddenly Finlay’s attention is distracted from Scorpion as the prone body of Abe Abercorn is thrown out onto the top of the stage from the backstage area. Finlay then exits the ring and briskly walks up to the top of the ramp to check on Abercorn, but as he reaches Abercorn suddenly Solomon Riddick comes flying through the curtain to hit a big boot squarely to the jaw of Finlay, laying him out. Solomon then stands over both men and raises his arms into the air as the fans boo loudly and Scorpion gets to his feet in the ring and with a menacing grin starts to nod his head in appreciation of the work of Riddick.

Crime Lord is stood backstage with Jack Reynolds, who has a microphone. Crime Lord is in a black suit with a black shirt, without a tie, Hardcore Championship slung over his right shoulder. As he finishes his cigar, the interview begins...

JR- So Crime Lord, you're in the semi-finals of the Fight for the Right tournament, do you think you can win it?

CL- Jack, if you want this interview to last you've got to stop asking such stupid questions. Of course I can win the Fight for the Right, I've done it before, I can do it again. You look at whose left in this tournament, Geoff Steel, Mr. Kenty, Logan Kincade...nobodies. I'm main event, I've been world champion before, I've won Fight for the Right before, I've done pretty much every damn thing there is to do in this company, some more than once. What have that lot done? Nothing. They've had a good run, they've beaten some top talent, but the moment they get to me, that's it, game over, I will walk away the winner, just like I always do. It'll be an experience for them, but I'm the real deal, this is my competition to win.

JR- Who do you want to avoid in the competition, the announcement is on this week's Lockdown, who do you want to avoid? Although you know you have to face one of the others if you do reach the final. Is it Logan Kincade? You nearly ended each other's careers last time you faced off.

CL- Let me set a few things straight Jack, let me correct some of your amateur, schoolboy errors in what you just asked. I don't care who I face in this competition, I'm not out to avoid anybody, I'd take them all on if I had to. It's not a matter of "if" I reach the final, it's "when"! You can call it clichéd, but I have the history, the ability to back it up. As for Logan...we didn't nearly end each other's careers...no, no, no...I nearly ended Kincade's, I nearly killed him to get this Hardcore Championship. What do you think I'd do to get a guaranteed world title shot? Logan is the one who should be afraid of me, the thought of getting to face and beat that pathetic waste of space one more time isn't something I'm afraid of, it's something I am desperate to happen.

JR- Is the fact that you know you'll be in the Hardcore Hell match at Explosion not something that puts you off going any further in Fight for the Right? That's a hellish match, and yet if you continue in this tournament you face having two matches in one night.

CL- I relish the opportunity. I want to prove I'm the god-damn best in this company and if I have to walk through Hardcore Hell, come out intact and then win my guaranteed world title shot to finally prove that...then that's what I'm going to do. Hardcore Hell doesn't frighten me, it motivates me. I am the Hardcore Champion, not just of today, but of all time. This title should be permanently crafted with my name on it, I made this title, I win this title, I am everything this title has. Hardcore Hell will be like a home to me, I will prosper in there, I will destroy the competition.

I don't think Fight for the Right will get in the way of it. Sure...it's not perfect timing, but that's what I've got to deal with. Fight for the Right is my route back to the world titles that I deserve to hold and that's why I need to win it, that's why I haven't thrown any matches and that's why Geoff, Kenty, Kincade have to be worried that they'll have to face me to ever go all the way.

JR- Well this week, as well as the Fight for the Right announcement you're in a match with TGA, how do you prepare to face a man that you have so much history with?

CL- I'll prepare the same way I did every other time I've beaten him. TGA came back to end me, to stop my dominance and he failed. I blocked him, I ruined him and I showed the world that TGA is simply a name these days, nothing more than a brand. He's got no talent left, no ability, none of what made him great when he was at the top of this company. I took his right to be called the most dominant 6WF World Champion ever, I ripped it from him. This Friday, I will show him and everybody else just how wide the gap has become between me and my old partner Teej. The man is pathetic, his second world title run an indication of just how weak he is, out of Fight for the Right and I'm sure this match means the world to him. This will be everything to him, he'll cling to this because I keep him relevant, our history is what keeps him employed.

JR- Finally Crime Lord, what can we make of your comments towards Keith Leone and The Saint last week?

CL- Make whatever you want of them Jack. All I'll say is any world champion has to keep their eyes open, especially with me hunting them down.

JR- Thank you Crime Lord.

Crime Lord walks off, as Jack nods at the camera and it switches off.

*The cameras go backstage in the LG Arena and the crowd descend into boos as Mike Hill is shown with a mic in hand. He raises his finger to his lips to tell the crowd to hush which is met with even louder boos. Hill grins, coughing into the mic.

Mike Hill: Shut the hell up already and listen in, because it is now time for Mike Hill to speak. No Jack Reynolds asking dumbass questions, No Kayeleigh Reed for Mike Hill to stare at and get distracted by. Mike Hill is conducting this inteview by himself.

Mike Hill has seen what The Saint has to say. Mike Hill has seen what The Saint has said on more than one occassion this week, in fact Mike Hill has had to watch it over and over again just to check that "The Champ" was being serious and not just having a little joke around. Although, Mike Hill should have known that earlier really because The Saint's not exactly a laugh a minute kinda guy is he?

One of the main problems that The Saint has is a selective memory. He remembers all the good moments, The Saint remembers when he gets the better of someone, like he did last week. However, The Saint seems to have conveniently forgotten that Mike Hill has left The Saint lying motionless on the floor with the Divine Intervention twice before. The Saint only levelled the scores with Mike Hill, he didn't get one over on Mike Hill that's for sure. And the thing is Sainty, it is your finishing move. People expect you to hit the divine intervention on me, NOBODY expected Mike Hill to lay out The Saint with his own finisher once, let alone twice.

But that just about sums things up doesn't it Sainty? You do, on occassions, do something amazing. You do have success. But when you do these things, you're never the first person to do it. You've always got to takeyour inspiration from someone else, you're always the 2nd man to do it, never the first. That really gets to you as well doesn't it Saint? Because whilst people will acknowledge that you drilled my head into the canvas last week, their lasting memory will be of when Mike Hill did the same to you. That is what Mike Hill does. Mike Hill makes memories.

The Saint's selective memory loss also seemed to brush over the fact that he lost to Keith Leone last week...Mike Hill didn't lose to Keith Leone the week before. The Saint is supposedly no mere mortal. The Saint supposedly has the instinct, the experience and the know how of a champion. Yet he lost to Keith Leone? Mike Hill wants to know how that is possible, when The Saint is such an all-powerful being. It's just another lie Sainty, but you're believing these lies in one last desperate attempt to convince yourself that you are best. One last desperate attempt to convince yourself that you are still important.

Fact of the matter is Sainty, you're deluding yourself. You aren't anything special anymore, you aren't that important and you most certainly aren't the best. The longer you continue to tell these lies and delude yourself, the harder it will be for you to recover when Mike Hill takes that title belt from around your waist and restores some pride to it. Because make no mistake about it, Mike Hill is the best. Mike Hill isn't telling a lie there, Mike Hill has out-wrestled everyone put in front of him in the last few months to get to this point where he is on the verge of winning the world title. Of those people Mike Hill has out-wrestled, you are one of them Sainty.

On Friday night, we can add Dopant Zero to the list of competitors Mike Hill has out-wrestled and you will have the best seat in the house to see it all. Mike Hill has seen The Saint say he wants to work as a team in this match because he hates losing and that is fair enough as you know that with Mike Hill on your side, there is no chance of losing that match.

It may be a tag team match but Mike Hill does not need The Saint to win that match, where as you sure as hell need Mike Hill. It is you who needs to watch on and see how a champion conducts himself, not Mike Hill. Who knows, maybe Mike Hill will inspire you. Mike Hill might teach you a lesson that means you will put up more of a fight when the inevitable clash for that world title match comes. But even if you do, it doesn't matter. Because you will never be this god damn good Sainty, you will never be STANDARD MIKE HILL!

*Mike Hill strolls off, grinning to himself.

RJ: First tag team action of the night up next here on Lockdown and it promises to be a very interesting contest.

MW: We’ve got the most established team in 6WF at the moment, our tag team champions Dopant Zero, in one corner.

RJ: But facing them are two men who are two of 6WF’s most gifted wrestlers, but they don’t exactly get on with one another.

MW: I certainly can’t see The Saint and Mike Hill co-operating together at all well.

“Shook ones” hits and the crowd descend into boos as the 6WF Tag Team Champions stroll confidently out onto the stage. Nogami and Yagurama hold the title belts high above their heads, smirking as the fans boo. The two men stroll to the ring, Yagurama steps over the top rope, Nogami springboards in.

RJ: After taking a loss last week, Dopant Zero must be happy to be squaring off against a team of two individuals who can’t stand each other.

MW: But like you said, they are two of the biggest stars in 6WF, their individual talents are still a huge danger.

“The Next Big Thing” blares out around the LG Arena and the crowd descend into huge boos for the arrival of Mike Hill onto the stage. He spins on the spot with his arms outstretched, before swaggering down to the ring, spitting on the floor in disgust as a couple of fans who offer to tag his hand. Hill springboards over the top rope into the ring.

RJ: Mike Hill has managed to find a rich vein of form over the past few months, elevating himself back to world title level after a long absence.

MW: He’s been great RJ! STANDARD MIKE HILL!

RJ: Shut up Michael.

“Monster” roars out around the LG Arena and the crowd descend into boos as TAW World Champion The Saint strides out onto the stage. He stands tall at the top of the ramp, holding the belt above his head as an amazing array of pyrotechnics explode off around him. The Saint then strides down to the ring, continuing to hold the belt over his head. He climbs up the steel steps onto the ring apron and then climbs over the top rope.

RJ: After a couple of weeks of getting the better of him, The Saint was certainly happy that he laid Mike Hill out last week with the Divine intervention.

MW: They’ve been very well matched so far during this month where they have been at each other’s throat, which means any potential match between them is a classic in the making!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Tsukasa Yagurama starts the match off for his side. Mike Hill and The Saint stare down at each other, looking towards the centre of the ring, neither making a step towards it. Eventually Yagurama strides over and drags Mike Hill back to the centre of the ring where he wraps a couple of stiff forearms into the side of the head knocking Mike Hill back into the ropes. Yagurama then whips Hill firmly into the ropes, on the rebound Yagurama nails a huge spinebuster. He hooks the leg.

Ref: 1..............2.........Kick out!

Mike Hill forces the shoulder up off the canvas. Yagurama drags Hill to his feet by the head and quickly attempts a belly to belly suplex but Mike Hill blocks before countering with a belly to belly suplex of his own, bridging over into the cover.

MW: Standard Mike Hill!

RJ: You’re going to say that every time he does something good aren’t you?

Ref: 1.............2.........Kick out!

Yagurama gets the shoulder up on this occasion, Mike Hill rolls to his feet and goes to the corner, where he begins to shout at The Saint. The TAW Champion simply smirks back at Hill, then motions for him to turn around but Hill refuses to do so, continuing to stare down at Saint. Yagurama sneaks up behind Hill and throws him down to the canvas with a German suplex.

Mike Hill stumbles up to his feet in shock and Yagurama sprints in, crashing him into the canvas with a huge spear. He hooks the leg.

RJ: Hill would be best served keeping his focus on this match, not The Saint.

Ref: 1..............2.........Kick out!

Tsukasa Yagurama drags Mike Hill to the corner where the tag is made to Kenzaki Nogami. Yagurama sprints in, connecting with a big splash on Hill with Nogami then sprinting in, hitting a running kick to the face. Mike Hill slumps down, Yagurama hauls Hill up and holds him in a bearhug. Nogami runs the ropes, hitting a leaping clothesline. He covers.

MW: Dopant Zero on top so far.

Ref: 1...........2.........Kick out!

Mike Hill forces the shoulder up off the canvas. Kenzaki Nogami waits for Mike Hill to rise before hitting a monkey flip which sends Hill towards the corner. He goes to tag The Saint, but the champion refuses. Hill is about to confront Saint again when Nogami runs in and hits a chopblock on Hill, who hits the 2nd turnbuckle head first. Nogami goes to the top rope, where he nails a leaping double knee to the back. Nogami then stands waiting for Hill to rise...

RJ: Capoeira Kick!

Ref: 1..............2..........Kick out!

Mike Hill again gets the shoulder up. Nogami hauls him to his feet and drags him towards the ropes, resting Hill’s head on the top rope. Nogami goes for an over the top rope tiger feint kick but Hill moves out of the way. Nogami lands on his feet on the apron only for Hill to use the ropes to nail a beautiful enzaguri kick. He brings Nogami back into the ring with a suplex.

MW: Great speed there from Hill.

Nogami rolls to his feet following the suplex, Mike Hill hits an inverted atomic drop before bouncing off the ropes and nailing a spinning heel kick. He covers.

Ref: 1............2..........Kick out!

Nogami drives the shoulder up off the canvas, Hill gets to his feet and stomps away on the head of the tag team champion before bringing him to the corner. Hill is about to go up to the top rope when The Saint tags himself in. Hill is visibly seething as he is forced out of the ring by the referee as The Saint climbs in over the top rope.

The Saint sees Nogami crawling towards the corner and brings him back to the centre of the ring. He drags up Nogami, nailing a number of firm knees into the gut before drilling the Team Japan member’s head into the canvas with an implant DDT. The TAW Champion hooks the leg.

Ref: 1............2........Kick out!

Nogami drives the shoulder up off the canvas, The Saint hauls up the tag team champion and whips him firmly into the ropes. He nails a huge gorilla press slam on Nogami, who stumbles up and walks straight into a big clothesline from The Saint. He strolls towards Hill, grinning to himself only for Hill to slap Saint across the face, constituting a tag.

RJ: Hill getting one back on The Saint there.

Hill goes to the top rope, flying off and hitting the Mike Time on Kenzaki Nogami! He hooks the leg.

Ref: 1.............2.............Kick out!

Hill stands over Nogami, waiting for him to rise. He attempts a standing tornado DDT but Nogami shoves Hill away. Hill runs in at Nogami who hits a low dropkick to the knee, Nogami then runs the ropes nailing a corkscrew neckbreaker. He hooks the leg.

MW: That wouldn’t have been in Hill’s plan when he tagged himself back in.

Ref: 1............2...........Kick out!

Mike Hill forces the shoulder up off the canvas. Kenzaki Nogami brings Hill to his feet, he attempts a capoiera kick but Hill ducks it. He then hits a jawbreaker on Nogami, who falls back to the corner. Hill sprints in, nailing a shining wizard. Hill lifts Nogami onto the top rope, then climbs up there himself. He hits a couple of headbutts before leaping into the air...

RJ: Hill-a-can-rana! That could be it!

MW: Not for Hill though, Saint tagged himself in! Vintage Saint!

Saint smirks as the ref refuses to count as Mike Hill covers Nogami. The ref orders Hill to leave the ring, he deliberately brushes shoulders with The Saint who turns around and stares down at his rival for a moment before turning back to Nogami. The tag champ is up, Saint boots him in the gut and then nails The Divine Force.

RJ: Huge powerbomb by The Saint!

Ref: 1...............2................Kick out!

Nogami kicks out once more, The Saint stands waiting for the tag champ to rise before booting him in the gut. He goes for the divine destroyer but Nogami drops down the back, hitting a pele kick to the back of the head. Saint staggers into the ropes, Nogami quickly bounces off the opposite ropes...

MW: Over the top rope tiger feint kick!

RJ: Nogami certainly needed that! Unbelievable move.

Ref: 1.............2...........Kick out!

The Saint kicks out, Nogami is up to his feet sharply and runs off the ropes, hitting a bakatare sliding kick on Saint before tagging in Yagurama. The big man steps into the ring, The Saint rolls up and Yagurama hits an avalanche belly to belly suplex. He makes the cover.

Ref: 1...........2........Kick out!

Tsukasa Yagurama gets to a vertical base, he stands waiting for The Saint to rise before hitting a backbreaker. Nogami then springboards off the top rope, nailing a dropkick to the head before quickly leaving the ring before the tag champions get disqualified. Yagurama covers The Saint.

RJ: Dopant Zero successfully isolated The Saint at the minute.

Ref: 1..............2............Kick out!

Saint drives the shoulder up, Yagurama stands waiting for the TAW World Champion to rise before hitting a boot into the gut. He then nails a Japanese Thunder Bomb on The Saint, he covers once more.

Ref: 1.............2...........Kick out!

Yagurama gets to his feet, he lifts up The Saint and goes for a clothesline but the TAW Champion ducks it, before throwing Yagurama into the canvas with a snap powerslam. The Saint then smirks, staring at Hill before beating the mat, waiting for Yagurama to rise up to his feet...

MW: DIVINE INTERVENTION!

RJ: That’s it! That’ll win it!

Ref: 1...................2...................

MW: What the hell is he doing?!

RJ: Mike Hill has broken the pin up!

MW: He just cost his own side the winning pinfall.

The Saint rolls up to his feet in anger and gets right in the face of Hill, snarling and berating Hill. Saint then taps his waist, indicating he is the champion. Mike Hill smiles at this and the red mist descends on Saint who goes for a wild punch that Hill ducks. Hill shoves Saint in the chest, the TAW Champion walks back towards Hill and pushes him back.

Hill responds with a shove of his own and again The Saint returns the gesture. Hill walks back towards The Saint...

MW: Nogami looking to try and steal on here, he’s sneaking up on Saint and Hill...

RJ: DIVINE INTERVENTION!

MW: THE RKO! FROM MIKE HILL! MIKE HILL JUST LEVELLED NOGAMI WITH SAINT’S FINISHER!

Hill rolls up to his feet, gets right in the face of the TAW World Champion before shouting “STANDARD...MIKE...HILL” and grinning. Hill quickly rolls out of the ring as Saint stares down at him fuming.

RJ: Saint not happy with Hill there...roll up from Yagurama...

MW: AND HILL’S HELPING THEM!

Hill pushes down on the legs of The Saint as Yagurama gets the roll up.

Ref: 1.....................2..................................3!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

The referee finishes the count and Hill quickly leaves the ring once more and walks up the ramp. The Saint rises up to his feet in anger, pointing towards Hill and berating the referee who ignores the protest.

Dopant Zero roll to the outside to celebrate their victory, The Saint snatches his world title and holds it above his head defiantly as he stares down Hill who is stood at the ramp of the ramp, smiling. He once again shouts STANDARD MIKE HILL to The Saint.

MW: That really was Standard Mike Hill...

RJ: Yep, the usual cowardice from Hill has cost him and Saint this match-up.

MW: You think he cares about that? Hill got one over on The Saint.

Marshall Murdoch is shown sitting backstage in his locker room, clutching his head as Keith Leone walks in. The two men share a brief stare down before Marshall looks down towards the floor...

KL: This is becoming a bit of a habit...

MM: What's that? Me sitting here with a pounding head? Or you crawling in here to apologise for getting my ass kicked for me...

KL: Listen man...

Marshall gets to his feet...

MM: Listen to what? Another story of how sorry you are, how you're going to keep fighting? That's great, Keith, i'm real psyched for you, but headaches aren't really my idea of fun and the constant waking up in the night, cramping up, struggling to get comfortable because my body aches is becoming a but of a pain in the backside...

KL: Hold up, remember i never asked you to help. They've got to you by association. I'm just trying to help you.

MM: Help me?

KL: Yeah!

MM: Help me how? By getting my ass kicked?

KL: That's not my fault!

MM: It never is!

KL: Look, i said from the start i'd take Walker on. I always said i'd do it on my terms. They got you involved when they took out McGraw. You chose to come out, you're involved whether you like it or not...

MM: I don't like it...

KL: Then do something about it, Marshall.

Marshall gets in the face of Leone, snarling at him...

MM: Maybe i will, Keith.....

Marshall looks over the shoulder of Leone to see Alex Walker stood in the doorway...

AW: Gentleman, do i detect some tension in your little camp? Shame. It pains me to see you at war with each other....

Leone stands still as Marshall backs off...

KL: Leave. Now. Or i won't be held responsible for my actions, Alex...

Walker steps into the locker room, smiling at Marshall....

AW: Oh, Keith. If only dreams came true. But we both know if you so much as lay a finger on me, i'll fire your ass on the spot. But, what i came to say was, rather than being the ones to keep leaving you gentleman in a heap, i decided to give you the chance to do it yourself. next week at the Supershow, it's going to be Keith Leone v Marshall Murdoch!

Walker pats Leone on the shoulder and leaves...

KL: You see now?

MM: Right now, i see i've got a shot at the 6WF Champion. How many people can say that?

KL: And you think it will be that simple?

MM: I don't know what to think right now. All i know is i've got Lex Hart to think about, you remember him? Someone else who knew your handywork quite well. His career didn't exactly take off after facing you....

KL: A different scenario....

MM: Is it really though, Keith? Maybe that's down to me to find out, now if you don't mind...

Marshall motions for Leone to leave. The 6WF Champion heads out of the door, stopping and looking at Marshall....

KL: If you think it's as simple as that, then carry on, Marshall. But think about what's happened over the last few weeks. Remember, this is only just the beginning.

Leone heads off as Marshall shakes his head. He leans back against the wall and closes his eyes as we head to ringside.

We see a darkened room. It is familiar but in the darkness it's hard to be sure if it is indeed Logan Kincades locker room or not. We see a small TV set up in the corner showing the Crime Lord interview. We see a hand only lit by the light from the TV as it presses rewind then play.

The camera cuts to the screen as we see a section of the interview play out.

"As for Logan...we didn't nearly end each other's careers...no, no, no...I nearly ended Kincade's, I nearly killed him to get this Hardcore Championship."

We see the pause before it is rewound to the same point and plays again.

"As for Logan...we didn't nearly end each other's careers...no, no, no...I nearly ended Kincade's, I nearly killed him to get this Hardcore Championship."

Once more we see the image pause and rewind as the camera pulls out to show the hand clasping the remote. as Crime Lord looks to the camera with a smug look the video is paused, we see the hand crush the remote before a roar is heard before creepy hysterical laughter begins to echo around the room.

?: hahahaha hahahah HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AAAAAAHAHAHAHA!! HNNNNNNNNNN!!! Hhahahahahahaha..... I wil bring your world down around your fucking ears you has been! hahahaha you will see why I am not afraid of you old man. I will END YOU!

The camera pans to this weeks match card partly crumpled on the floor, it zooms into *Fight for the Right Semi-Final Announcement as the voice begins to speak.

?: It matters not who I get....

The hand picks up the card.

?: It never really HAS mattered... It never should matter, it never will matter....

The hand is shaking with anger the light reflecting from the knuckles as the skin is stretched as the fist is clenched tightly.

?: But if it IS Crime Lord, I will not only see to it that he will never get his hands on the world title again.... But I will make it so he is unable to compete in the Hardcore Hell match... but of course he won't do that, and he will enter the match hahahahahaha and I will enjoy seeing him being rupped limb from limb!

This ends once and for all, one way or another. this all..........ends.

The camera begins to back away as the tv lights up the outline of Logan Kincade who is stood staring into the eyes of the paused image of Crime Lord on the TV before he begins to laugh as the camera fades.

Chris Patricks is backstage in his locker room, pacing back and forward....

CP: Look, Joyce, i'm sorry, but you have to undertand this is something i have to do. I'm not going to walk away from this unless i'm on top. I've worked my ass off for years, doing everything i can to make you and the kids proud.

This is my chance to retire a hero, to finally prove that all those Championships i earned weren't flukes. That i wasn't just some gimmicky tag wrestler that never had what it takes. I know Hardcore Hell is dangerous, but it's what i live for outside you and the kids.

I need you to be with me on this. I need you all to trust me that i know what i'm doing, cause when i walk out on top, Daddy's coming home for good.

I love you baby, call me when you get this.

Chris hangs up the phone, he looks over at a pciture of his family and smiles as a stagehand opens the door...

SH: Chris, you're up!

Patricks nods and heads out of the door looking focused.

RJ: Welcome back to Lockdown folks, third Hardcore Hell qualifier of the night up next here.

MW: We’ve already seen the monster Lukas Takeo and Re-Genesis’ newest member Kenji Hidari advance into the Hardcore Hell match at Explosion.

RJ: Two men who will certainly will work well inside of that structure, the two competitors scheduled to square off next are very different in style to that of Takeo and Hidari.

MW: Certainly are RJ, their offence is based more around speed than the power of Takeo or the technical wrestling of Kenji.

Searchlights roam as the sound of footsteps is heard. The lights go back out before One Step Closer hits and a sole spotlight appears on the ramp iluminating the hooded figure of Splinter. He stands before throwing back his hood, revealing his half mask and deep cut on his cheek, and pyro goes off. He then runs down to the ring and slides in before posing to cheers from the crowd.

RJ: Splinter is very weird, deranged even...

MW: That is a quality that will make him absolutely perfect for the Hardcore Hell match.

“Ascending Malice” blares out the LG Arena, The Enigma flashes across the screen as Christopher Patricks walks out onto the stage. He nods to the fans before strolling down the ramp and tagging the fans hands, Patricks slides under the bottom rope before leaping up to his feet.

MW: Splinter may well be suited to the Hardcore Hell match, but not as much as Christopher Patricks, a Man who made his name in the Hardcore division alongside Keith Leone and Blue Dragon.

RJ: Which makes it even more surprising that Patricks hasn’t actually held the Hardcore Title belt.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

MW: It’s also important to remember just how big a rivalry these two opponents had a year or so ago, which in fact caused Chris Patricks wife to leave him.

RJ: Joyce is back now, but she isn’t too keen on Christopher Patricks competing in the Hardcore Hell match. That’s understandable considering the punishment Patricks’ body has taken.

Christopher Patricks and Splinter lock-up. Splinter drives a knee up into the ribs of Patricks, Splinter then throws Patricks into the mat with a hip toss like move. Patricks rolls to his feet and Splinter ducks a clothesline before hitting a pele kick. Patricks hits the canvas, Splinter covers.

Ref: 1.........2......Kick out!

Patricks forces the shoulder up, Splinter stands waiting for him to rise before hitting a boot into the stomach. Splinter runs off the ropes and attempts a one-handed bulldog only for Patricks to shove him away. Splinter bounces back off the ropes only for Chris Patricks to hit him with a spinning heel kick. Splinter rolls up and walks straight into a big superkick from Patricks. Cover.

RJ: There’s that speed from Chris Patricks we’ve come to expect.

Ref: 1.............2.........Kick out!

Splinter kicks out on this occasion, Patricks leaps to his feet and brings Splinter up with him. He then Irish whips his old rival firmly into the corner. Splinter sprints in and connects with a high-angled dropkick to the head. Splinter collapses forward into the mat, Patricks springboards up to the top rope. He turns to face the crowd before leaping into the air...

MW: Split legged moonsault!

RJ: Great move from Patricks!

Ref: 1..........2........Kick out!

Patricks is up and stands waiting for Splinter to rise. The former world champion gets to his feet, Patricks hits him with a boot into the stomach. He then bounces off the ropes, nailing a front flip piledriver. Cover.

Ref: 1...............2............Kick out!

MW: I can’t see any of the beatings Chris Patricks has taken recently having any effect on his performance at the moment.

Splinter drives the shoulder up off the canvas, Chris Patricks places him into an armbar. He drags Splinter to his feet, Splinter turns his way out of the hold before attempting a clothesline only for Patricks to duck under it. He grabs Splinter from behind and then throws him to the mat with a German suplex, bridging into the pin attempt.

Ref: 1............2.........Kick out!

Again Splinter forces the shoulder up off the canvas, Chris Patricks applies a grounded leg scissors hold. Patricks wraps his legs firmly around the body of Splinter, attempting to crush his ribs. Splinter fights up to a vertical base and with Patricks still on his back, he walks back and rams Patricks into the turnbuckles. Splinter clutches the head of Patricks and this time, the running bulldog connects.

RJ: Good counter from Splinter!

Ref: 1............2.........Kick out

Splinter stands waiting for Patricks to rise, he whips Chris Patricks into the ropes before nailing a Double A spinebuster. Splinter then runs the ropes, nailing a Lionsault. He hooks the leg.

Ref: 1.............2...........Kcik out!

Patricks drives the shoulder up off the canvas, Splinter drags him to his feet and throws him to the corner. Splinter leaps up going for a hurracanrana, but Patricks blocks and then drops Splinter’s head into the turnbuckle. He stumbles forward...

MW: Jumping DDT!

Ref: 1................2..............Kick out!

Splinter barely gets the shoulder up, Patricks stands waiting for him to rise. He hits a boot to the gut...

RJ: Enigma Bomb!

MW: Patricks going up top...

RJ: PUZZLE SOLVER!

MW: Both of his finishers hit...

Ref: 1............2...................3!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

RJ: Patricks wins it!

MW: He advances into the Hardcore Hell match, where he may finally capture the Hardcore Title.

RJ: I’m not sure that his wife will be too happy about it though.

Mike Hill is shown walking backstage when The Saint charges in and grabs him by the throat...

TS: YOU TRYING TO BE CLEVER, HILL? YOU THINK I WON'T FIGHT BACK!!

Hill shoves The Saint back, as Kayleigh Reed and security burst into shot...

MH: YOU DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON MIKE HILL. YOU DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON ANYTHING TO DO WITH MIKE HILL!

TS: OH YEAH?!

The Saint tries to get at Hill but is dragged back...

MH: That's the problem with you, Saint. All mouth and no trousers. You've always talked a good game but when it comes down to it, you're nothing but a bottle job. Mike Hill? Mike Hill is the real deal. Mike Hill sets the standard now. What happened earlier......STANDARD MIKE HILL!

Hill smirks at the The Saint as Kayleigh Reed gets between them...

KR: Enough! You two can keep this up all you want, but it's not getting you anywhere. I've just come from Alex Walker's office, he's sick and tired of you two making everything about you. He says Hill is lucky to have walked away from Re-Genesis and Saint, you've been running your mouth too long without backing it up. At Explosion, he's announced that it will be The Saint versus Mike Hill for the T.A.W World Championship!

RJ: WOW!

The Saint stares at Hill and breaks out into a smile...

TS: Perfect! I can't think of a better place to put an end to this myth that you and I are in the same league.

The Saint pushes security off him and heads down the corridor.

Splinter is being tended to by medics as the huge figure of The Fanatic walks into shot. The medics scarper as The Fanatic stands over the groggy Splinter...

TF: I said i would bring vengeance to those that have wronged me.....you are one of those....

The Fanatic grabs Splinter up by the throat and chokes him as medical staff call for assistance....

TF: I promised i would wreak havoc and destruction for those that have sinned against me.

Splinter, you cost me my European Title. You drove a wedge between the Parasite Killers. I'm going to take your career.

The Fanatic drops Splinter to his feet. He turns to leave as stagehands gather to usher him away. He barges past them all and out of shot as we head to commercial.

MW: 'Huge match up next here, two of the all time 6WF greats squaring off'

RJ: 'Indeed Wire, these two were facing off for the 6WF world title less than a year ago, and if those matches were anything to go by then we're in for a treat.'

'Just Close Your Eyes' blasts across the sound system and the crowd start to cheer as TGA strides through the smoke that appears at the top of the rampway. He stays in the centre of the ramp as the crowd cheer. He reaches the bottom of the ramp, he leaps onto the ring apron and through the ropes.

The crowd's reaction changes as 'Rain Wizard' hits and Crime Lord strides out onto the stage with the 6WF Hardcore Title draped over his shoulder. Crimey walks down the ramp confidently, he stands at the bottom and holds up his title belt before climbing into the ring.

MW: 'Crime Lord stands on the verge of pulling off one of the greatest feats in 6WF history.'

RJ: 'He has the opportunity to win both the Fight for the Right tournament and Hardcore Hell on the same night, and would firmly cement his standing as a 6WF legend.'

Ref: 1..............2..........kick out!

TGA lifts Crime Lord to his feet, he hits him with a boot to the stomach and then nails the Angel Clash on his longtime rival. TGA leaps to his feet to a big pop as he waits for Crime Lord to rise

RJ: 'Avoided!'

MW: 'Lock and load!'

1..................2...................3!

The replay shows Crime Lord ducking under TGA's attempt at the black hole slam and managing to hit the F5!

The crowd boos as the referee raises Crime Lord's hand in victory

MW: 'A hard fought victory for Crime Lord there as he looks to build momentum towards the fight for the right semi final.'

TGA is in the backstage area when Lex Hart approaches from behind. TGA doesn’t notice him, but a grimace appears on his face when Lex starts to speak.

Hart: This losing any way possible bug seems to be catching. That is two loses in two weeks TGA. Seems you should listen to your own words.

TGA turns round to face him and the two men eyeball each other. TGA is still scowling and Lex has a sarcastic smile on his face.

TGA: I think you will find that you are on an even dire record than mine. One that will only get worse when Murdoch deals with you in a few moments time. Shouldn’t you be writing your retirement speech?

Lex: Retiring? You think you can get rid of me that easy?

TGA: It would be easier for you in the long run. Fail against Marshall and there will be no Hardcore Hell for you. Meaning that you will remain kicking your heels trying to convince everyone that Lex Hart still has something to offer.

Lex: Oh I have a lot to offer. And Marshall is going to find that out real soon. Then I am going to Hell and coming back with a title around my waist. I am going to do what you have failed to do tonight. Beat Crime Lord and show you just why you shouldn’t count me out. Champions are never that far away from their next belt.

TGA chuckles and steps away.

TGA: Don’t let me stand in your way then…….”champ”. Show me what you can do. I will be watching.

Lex strides off out of shot and TGA watches him go. His smile vanishes and his scowl returns, before he walks out of shot himself.

Kayleigh Reed is stood backstage with Geoff Steel, Mr. Kenty, Logan Kincade and Crime Lord, a ‘Fight for the Right’ sign hanging in the background with a small bowl on the table with four balls inside…

KR: Ladies and Gentleman it is time for the draw for the semi-finals of the Fight for the Right Tournament. As you can see all four competitors have joined me here to find out who they will face live on the Supershow, live from the LG Arena on Monday 17th June. To help me complete the draw, I’m joined by the current General Manager of Lockdown, Mr Alex Walker…

The crowd can be heard descending into boo’s as Alex Walker strolls in to shot. He smiles at Geoff Steel who grins cockily at his 3 potential opponents. Logan snarls and steps forward but is pushed back by Mr. Kenty while Crime Lord stands shaking his head….

AW: Thanks, Kayleigh. It’s a pleasure to be here and oversee this draw which will surely see a new world champion crowned. We have the potential so see one of 3 men become a first ever 6WF World or TAW World Champion. Along with Crime Lord who would be looking at his 4th reign.

This is a prestigious competition, with the past winners going on to win World Championships, none more spectacular than when Crime Lord wrestled not one, not two but three matches at last years Night of Glory to claim his 3rd World Title. Defeating JJ Johnson, Clarke James and finally Blue Dragon.

Before that, Hero claimed the briefcase in somewhat controversial circumstances, defeating Chris Patricks with help from the church. Tyson Armstrong, Cassius Zhi and Nemesis all succeeded in winning the tournament. Huge names, and hopefully another huge name will be added when we reach our climax.

Before we get started, I’ll go over the rules. Each match is to be settled by one fall under standard singles competition rules. Disqualifications and Count-Outs will be valid in these matches. The first two names out will be the first participants in each semi final. The next two out will complete the semi-final draw. Kayleigh, if you’d like to give them a stir…

Kayleigh Reed places her hand in the bowl and stirs the balls around…

AW: Thanks. Here we go. The first name out of the hat, and our first semi finalist….

Walker reaches into the bowl and pulls out a ball, opening it and removing a small piece of paper….

AW: MR. KENTY!!!!!

The crowd let out a massive pop as Mr. Kenty nods to himself…

AW: The next semi-finalist…..

Walker again reaches into the bowl and removes a ball, taking care to prize the ball apart to reveal the next name. He looks down into the camera…..

AW: LOGAN KINCADE!!

The crowd boo as Logan smiles…

RJ: Mr Kenty and Logan Kincade are the first names out of the hat! Who will they face? Could you imagine Kenty v Steel and Crime Lord v Logan?

MW: It would be off the chart, ‘Arj!

Alex Walker is stood clutching another ball as Logan and Kenty stare across at Geoff Steel….

AW: The third semi-finalist, and the man who will face Mr. Kenty in the first semi-final is….

Walker removes the name from the ball and looks across at Geoff Steel….

AW: CRIME LORD!!!

RJ: WOW!

*Crowd Pop*

AW: Which means….

Walker removes the final ball, taking out the final name, a look of concern across his face…

AW: The second semi-final, will see Geoff Steel versus….

LOGAN KINCADE!

The crowd cheer as the 4 men go nose to nose. Crime Lord stares into the eyes of Kenty while Logan smirks in the face of a stern looking Geoff Steel. Crime Lord and Logan then turn to stare at each other as Kenty and Steel lock eyes. Security step in and separate the four men…

RJ: Two huge semi-finals. Mr. Kenty, the golden boy of 6WF takes on last years winner and current 6WF Hardcore Champion, Crime Lord…

MW: Then you’ve got Geoff Steel; one of the men at the forefront of the Re-Genesis faction, a close ally of Alex Walker against the psychotic, the angry, the most dominant 6WF Hardcore Champion in history, Logan Kincade. I couldn't pick a winner from that draw!

RJ: Oh i could, you just have to look at Walker to see he's got something up his sleeve. Something tells me i wanna go out and have a large wager on Geoff Steel walking out with that shot!

MW: Oh you and your conspiracy theories. He has to get passed Logan. And even then, Kenty and Crime Lord are no slouches!

RJ: You're talking about one on one, Mike. Do you really think Re-Genesis would stand back and let Steel do this alone? Do me a favour!

RJ: The final Hardcore Hell qualifier of the night up next here on Lockdown for you folks!

MW: We’ve already seen that Lukas Takeo, Kenji Hidari and Christopher Patricks emerge victorious from their matches this evening to earn a place in the Fight for The Right tournament.

RJ: Up next we have a contest between two men who would have been more disappointed than most with their early exits from the Fight for The Right tournament.

MW: They haven’t exactly had their focus on this match, but it is a great opportunity for them if they win tonight. No bigger and more impressive stage than Hardcore Hell to make a statement.

“Papercut” plays out as yet again the fans give out a mixed reaction as Marshall Murdoch strides out onto the stage. Marshall then kneels on the stage for a moment, keeping his head down, before jumping to his feet and punching the air. Marshall then walks down the centre of the ramp, looking out at the arena before stepping into the ring.

MW: Marshall Murdoch has found himself in somewhat of a slump in recent weeks.

RJ: No suprise really when he is constantly getting blindsided by Walker’s bunch of thugs.

“Be Myself” plays out as the fans are divided between cheers and boos for the arrival of Lex Hart. Hart slowlys walks out onto the stage before looking around at the audience and seemingly soaking some of the cheers and hostility, before jogging down to the ring, before sliding in under the bottom rope. Hart then raises one arm to the fans before waiting on the opposite side of the ring to the entrance for his opponent.

MW: Speaking of Walker, here is a man who knows a lot about our commissioner and his ways.

RJ: Hart has said he has moved on from that person...but can he ever be trusted?

Ding, Ding, Ding!

He then hauls Hart up to a vertical base before driving him into the canvas with a huge pumphandle slam. Murdoch keeps the hold applied, bringing Hart to his feet and nailing a 2nd pumphandle slam.

MW: Impressive power there from Marshall Murdoch. His poor run of form having no obvious effect thus far.

Ref: 1............2..........Kick out!

Marshall Murdoch rolls up to his feet, he stands waiting for Lex to rise before whipping him firmly into the ropes. Murdoch then nails a sidewalk slam on Hart. The former 6WF World Champion rolls to his feet and walks straight into a DDT from Murdoch. He hooks the leg once more as the crowd cheer loudly.

RJ: Marshall Murdoch has found himself in the somewhat unaccustomed role of fan favourite in the recent weeks.

MW: It’s more by proxy than anything else RJ. Anyone seen to be taking the fight to Alex Walker and Re-Genesis will be favoured by this crowd. In fact, it might be one of the reasons for his loss in form.

Ref: 1...........2..........Kick out!

Lex Hart drives the shoulder up off the canvas, Murdoch stands over Hart waiting for him to rise. He then hits a boot to the gut, scooping Hart onto his shoulders. Marshall attempts the Texan Slam but Hart sunset flips over into the pinfall.

Lex then nails a backbreaker, Hart then sprints off the ropes before leaping into the air and flooring Marshall Murdoch with a leaping high knee to the face. Cover.

Ref: 1............2.........Kick out!

MW: Lex Hart has taken the control of this match.

RJ: He’d present a much different threat to the ones already in the Hardcore Hell match. Part of the PWA in the past, Hart’s not exactly been a huge fan of the Hardcore division previously.

Lex Hart waits for Marshall to rise, he nails an inverted atomic drop. Hart brings Murdoch in closer before flinging him to the canvas with a suplex. He keeps the grip applied, bringing Murdoch to his feet and nailing a 2nd Suplex. Murdoch rolls up...

MW: Third suplex! Tremendous technical wrestling from Hart!

RJ: MARSHALL LAW!

MW: Out of nowhere!

Ref: 1....................2..............................3!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

RJ: Marshall Murdoch wins it!

MW: That’s the danger of the Marshall Law, that kick can be hit out of nowhere. Hart looked like he was on top in that match but now it is Marshall who goes into the Hardcore Hell match.

RJ: I think he’ll be a big threat. A perfect structure for him to work out the anger that has brewed inside of him because of the actions of Re-Genesis.

Lex Hart has just come through the curtain when he bumps into TGA.

TGA: Well I was watching…..wasn’t really worth my time.

Lex ignores him and tries to get past.

TGA: Come on Lex. Don’t be like that. Where are all the confident speeches I heard earlier?

Lex manages to barge past but doesn’t say anything.

TGA: Maybe you should face facts. The painful feeling you have now is what you are destined to have after every match. Nothing is going to change.

Lex stops but doesn’t turn round.

Hart: Oh something is going to change……

He spins round and gets right in TGA’s face.

Hart: ……you doubting me for one.

TGA looks down at Lex and nods his head.

TGA: I was hoping you might say that. Because I had no doubt that you would accept an invitation to face me at Explosion. As we are both at a loose end.

Lex smiles and nods his head as well.

Hart: To find out the best of the worst?

TGA: To settle a few differences of opinion.

Lex turns round and starts to walk off. He shouts back at TGA as he goes.

Hart: See you at Explosion buddy……

TGA watches him go before speaking out loud.

TGA: Remember that painful feeling Lex. It will prove welcome relief for the pain your body will go through soon.

He then angrily walks out of shot.

Marshall Murdoch is shown heading towards the exit...

??: Going somewhere....

Marshall stops and turns to see The Consultant standing there....

MM: Well, i was, until you called me back....

TC: Oh, did i? My apologies, do continue....

Marshall turns again....

TC: But before you go. Let me ask you something....what happens next, Marshall? A beating at the hands of Re-Genesis last week, now a match with Leone next week? When are you going to make a choice? McGraw is gone, you have nobody else protecting you. You have a common enemy, a man willing to stand by your side but you're still fighting against it. You can only fight for so long, Marshall. Soon you have to make a decision...

MM: Have you finished?

TC: I have for now...

Marshall heads out of the exit, he stops before getting into a car and leaving. The Consultant turns round to see Alex Walker standing infront of him...

AW: Why is it, that you just can't seem to keep your nose out of my business?

TC: Your business, Alex? I'd say the way this company is run is everyones business?

AW: That's for the board to decide....

TC: Speaking of which, Alex. I was contacted by the board. Seems over the last few weeks you've made no effort whatsoever to contact them. You've not returned calls or kept them in the loop...

Walker looks sheepish at the revelation...

AW: I've been busy...

TC: Oh, of course. Causing destruction and chaos. Lucky for you i managed to fill the board in on your recent escapades and the situation around McGraw. Needless to say, Alex, they weren't impressed, as such they've decided you clearly still need some assiatance, and so at the Supershow next week, they'll be announcing McGraw's interim replacement....

The Consultant winks at Alex...

TC: I'm sure whoever they pick will be more than happy working with you...

The Consultant walks off leaving Walker looking frustrated. He heads off the up the corridor where is his met by Cassius Zhi...

CZ: Problems, Alex?

AW: Nothing as yet, he'll be easily controlled.

CZ: Are you sure? You realise any threat to our domination will need to be eradicated, swiftly.

AW: Only time will tell. Still, tonight will surely leave a mark on any plans he has to interfere.

Cassius grins evily.

CZ: Excellent work, Alex.

The two men walk off as we head to commercial.

RJ: Ladies and Gentleman, good evening and welcome back to the final edition of 6WF Lockdown before Explosion.

MW: We of course have a super-show to come before Explosion, but this contest does mark the final match of the night and final match of a normal Lockdown...it is our Main Event!

RJ: And how 6WF has changed since our previous Pay Per View all the way back at Redemption and the 4 men involved in this match tonight have been heavily involved in those goings on.

MW: They certainly have RJ, We have seen a shift in power in 6WF from the dual commissioners of McGraw and Walker, to just Walker.

RJ: This past month has also seen Re-Genesis really come to the fore with yet more additions being made to the group, a group that started with the alliance of Geoff Steel and Cassius Zhi.

MW: Re-Genesis have of course been met by some resistance, although so far they have had the upper hand over those resisting Alex Walker, which of course includes The Consultancy, their opponents tonight.

“Black Shuck” blares out through the speakers and the crowd cheer as Vortex and Johnny Oko stride out onto the stage. Vortex stands at the top of the stage with his arms out-stretched whilst Oko kneels down in front of him, pyro’s go off behind them. Oko gets to his feet, he and Vortex walk down the ramp tagging the fans hands. Vortex steps into the ring, Oko slides in under the bottom rope. The crowd are chanting no win, no fee to the team who nod their heads.

RJ: It seems that these two were brought into the war not by choice but by association, due to their manager The Consultant who offered out his services to both men.

MW: Of course The Consultancy’s main target was, or rather is, the 6WF tag titles but the constant involvement of Berg and Visage has meant that goal has become somewhat derailed.

“They Say” blares out of the speakers as the crowd descend into deafening boos as Cassius Zhi slowly walks out onto the stage. Cassius looks around at the audience coldly before then walking down the ramp at a fairly sedate pace, taking care to avoid contact with the audience, before finally getting to the ring apron and then stepping into the ring under the top rope. Cassius then does some light stretches as he waits in the ring.

“Last Resort” then plays out as the fans give an equally loud reaction for the arrival of Geoff Steel. Steel smiles as he walks out onto the ramp at the boos he hears, before also walking down to the ring, though Steel trash talks some of the fans as he approaches the ring. Steel then slides in under the bottom rope and poses to the fans almost mockingly as they continue to vent their hatred toward him. Steel then walks over toward Cassius and the men share a nod with one another before then waiting in one corner.

RJ: You have to say that these two make for a very interesting combination. Up to this point, they have worked well together and formed a dangerous unit. But both have genuine world title ambitions, can these two continue to co-exist?

MW: They certainly seem to have brought into the ideal of Walker and Re-Genesis, so I can’t see why that will change RJ, something which is of course very bad news for the rest of 6WF to have two such dangerous wrestlers teaming together.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Geoff Steel starts the match off for his team, with Oko taking the reins for his side. Geoff Steel goes to the centre of the ring for the lock up but Oko catches him off guard with a stomp to the foot.

Ref: 1..........2.......Kick out!

MW: Johnny Oko living with the ability of Steel so far, in fact he’s doing more than that, he’s out wrestling him at present.

RJ: That was down to Steel trying to get in the head of Vortex, who of course we have seen to be somewhat mentally fragile in the past weeks.

Oko gets to his feet, he drags Geoff Steel up to his feet and hits a couple of quick elbow smashes to the head and Steel falls into the ropes. Oko whips him out across the ring and nails a Tilt-a-wheel backbreaker on the rebound. Oko then runs the ropes, hitting a rolling thunder. Cover.

Ref: 1.............2.......Kick out!

RJ: Oko needs to ensure that he doesn’t get isolated here, that is where Steel and Cassius Zhi will really thrive.

Steel hauls up Johnny Oko, he throws him into the canvas with a suplex. Steel then makes the tag to Cassius Zhi. Steel holds him in a full nelson hold as Cassius Zhi nails a succession of roundhouse kicks to the stomach.

The crowd boo as Steel then tags in Cassius Zhi, he walks towards Oko who takes Zhi to the mat with a drop toe hold and the crowd cheer. Oko then springs to his feet, he waits for Zhi to rise before nailing a Fisherman’s suplex, bridging over into the cover.

RJ: On another day, it might have been them who picked up the victories! Oh no.......

"Numb" suddenly plays across the arena and Alex Walker starts to come down the aisle with the 6WF belt around his waist and a microphone in his hand. The crowd boo loudly when they see him appear and boo even louder when they see Udo, Visage and Kenji Hidari behind him.

RJ: Oh no! Not again!

Walker is smirking as he walks and he brings the microphone to his lips.

AW: When will you people understand that all that has happened and all that will happen is due to one man and one man only. Not the guy you are booing out of the building. Not the gifted individuals in Re-Genesis. No, this is all about the disease that surrounds one man. Keith.....Leone.....

The four members of Re-Genesis start to hit the ring and The Consultancy back off while looking around.

MW: Totally outnumbered.......this is going to end up all kinds of ugly!

The members of Re-Genesis start to circle around The Consultancy before Walker begins speaking again.

AW: All the pain that people have suffered is to try and combat this disease. I wanted it to be quick and painless, but Leone only cares about himself. So instead of ripping the band aid off quickly, Leone is intent on re-attaching it again and again to anyone else other than himself. That is exactly why he can't be trusted with this belt. And why you deluded people can't possibly class him a figurehead to this infected company. Until Keith Leone realises that HE is the one harming everyone, then things like this will happen again and again and again and.........

Suddenly all the members of Re-Genesis start to rush towards The Consultancy and viciously beat them down.

RJ: THEY'RE LIKE A PACK OF WOLVES!

MW: RE-GENESIS WILL END ANOTHER LOCKDOWN IN SUPREME.........

Suddenly "Limo Wreck" blasts out of the speakers and the crowd cheer the roof off. Re-Genesis stop the beatdown and turn towards the stage. Keith Leone walks out with a microphone and addresses the ring.

Leone: Eyes locked on me guys! On me!

Walker starts smirking again and starts pointing at Leone.

AW: You have a lot of nerve Leone. Coming out here and watching the damage you have caused. Are you getting a kick out of it? It is a shame you haven't got the same level of guts!

Leone: I will tell you about guts! You got guys in that ring that are standing up for 6WF and not giving a damn whether they're in the minority. You have the guts of a guy that has worked his ass off to become a champion, only for it to be taken away by someone with a lot of emotional baggage! Do I really affect you that much Walker? After all this time? What is it going to take for you to stop this revenge mission?

Walker's eyes nearly pop out of his head as he screams his reply at Leone.

AW: I WILL STOP WHEN KEITH LEONE.....THE DISEASE....THE INFECTION....HAS LEFT 6WF!!

The crowd boo loudly as Leone looks down to the floor and shakes his head. He then wistfully looks around him as if at odds with himself. The members of Re-Genesis see that he is finding this difficult and all of them walk up alongside Walker and mock Leone.

RJ: He can't really be contemplating this?!

MW: He might not have a choice!

Leone looks back up to the ring and is about to speak, when he notices Vortex start to slowly get to his feet. He gives a half smile before speaking into the mic.

Leone: Running away is for losers. I would rather stand and fight.

The crowd go nuts in support of Leone and Walker gets more and more agitated.

AW: ARE YOU INSANE?! ARE YOU REALLY THAT DELUDED?! IT IS POINTLESS! POINTLESS! YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN! NO ONE WANTS TO FIGHT WITH YOU!

Leone goes to speak when "Papercut" roars out of the speakers. Walker and Re-Genesis look furiously up the aisle as Marshall Murdoch appears on the stage. He grabs the microphone off of Leone and looks up towards the ring.

MM: He isn't alone......not even nearly alone!

Suddenly, there is a massive bellow from behind Re-Genesis and they turn to see Vortex on his feet and banging his chest. Murdoch and Leone run down to the ring and a melee breaks out.

RJ: THIS IS CARNAGE!

Re-Genesis quickly scatter as Vortex grabs Visage by the throat. He hurls him towards the in running Murdoch who flies through the air.

RJ: MARSHALL LAW!

The force of the impact sends Visage flying over the top rope and he smashes against the guardrail. Cassius and Steel slide out of the ring as Walker follows, running round the ring to grab the 6WF Title before screaming at Kenji and Udo...

MW: RE-GENESIS ARE BAILING!

Kenji goes to attack Vortex but he whips him towards Marshall who goes for Marshall Law again. Kenji ducks, spins round and is faced with a livid Keith Leone.

RJ: CONCUSS-KICK!

It is Kenji's turn to go flying over the top rope and it is just Udo Berg in the ring. He shouts out in anger and starts trading blows with Vortex. The two men smack each other with colossal blows that would knock out any lesser man. Vortex gets the upper hand and grabs Udo's head before continuously headbutting him backwards towards the ropes. Vortex backs away and starts to stagger after the blows to the head and Leone and Murdoch start to go towards the last Re-Genesis member. Vortex suddenly calls them off and beckons them to send Udo back into his direction.

RJ: VORTEX AFTER REVENGE HERE!

Leone and Marshall whip the massive Berg towards Vortex and he uses the momentum to lift him up.

MW: UNBELIEVABLE STRENGTH! HE HAS HIM UP!! THAT IS NEAR 500 POUNDS!

RJ: RUPTURE!!

Suddenly Vortex heaves Udo higher up into the air before slamming him down to the mat with his finisher. The ring shakes with the impact and Udo lands hard before slowly rolling out of the ring. Walker is holding his head in his hands on the aisle with Steel and Cassius standing next to him. Vortex slowly gets up after the move and holds his back, before going over and helping his tag team partner up.

RJ: LOOK AT RE-GENESIS SCATTER!

Visage helps Udo to his feet and they escape through the crowd as Kenji does the same on the other side. Vortex is breathing heavily while supporting Oko, while Leone and Murdoch stare at Walker who raises the 6WF Title in the air...

RJ: IS THIS A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME?! IS THIS THE 6WF FIGHTBACK!?

MW: TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOLKS TO FIND OUT!

Leone and Murdoch continue staring down at a grinning Walker and Cassius Zhi as Lockdown goes off air.
