6WF Born In Fire Results 2013

A video begins to play, a long stretch of road can be seen, tumbleweed blows across the road as a solitary car flashes by. Dusts settles back on the highway as a sound begins to play, the camera swings round as AC/DC’s ‘Highway to Hell’ can be heard. The camera zooms in on the front of a car, badly painted in what appears to be camouflage. The word ‘KANT’ sprawled across the bonnet in black letters. The camera zooms out to show a beaten up old army truck, driven by Xeres as Zakky Spencer stands in the back of the truck, clutching a giant Nerf gun pretending it’s a rocket launcher. Clarke James and Marshall Murdoch are stood either side of Zakky, shaking their heads….

CJ: I’m sorry man, this was the best I could do….

Marshall shrugs…

CJ: Look, it’s budget cuts! What do you want me to do, pay for it out of Church funds?

‘Highway to Hell’ begins to fade out and Vlad changes over the 8 track as Zakky pretends to make gun sounds to the annoyance of Marshall who slaps him over the head causing Zakky to fire a foam bullet in front of a startled Vlad…

CJ: Will you be careful with that, you could’ve killed him!

Marshall shakes his head as James berates Zakky….

MM: 'And you only got foam bullets? What good are they in an emergency?'

ZS: 'It was all they had left in the props department.'

MM: 'If you want something doing properly... anyway we need a plan of action'

(Marshall dramatically pulls a large map of 6CW headquarters and lays it out on the truck floor before over exaggeratedly pointing at various rooms )

MM (aside to CJ): 'I've always wanted to do that'

(Clarke rolls his eyes but Marshall carries on regardless)

MM: 'Rights gents, we need a plan of action - as a wise man once said 'fail to plan and you plan to fail', I think it might have been Gandhi actually and he knows about this sort of thing, so we need something foolproof, and lets face it with you lot it needs to be foolproof

(Marshall looks around and Zakky and Vlad nod in agreement)

MM: Right it's not the most tightly secured area, so I think we can just smash the front doors in

CJ: 'Euphemism?'

MM: 'Actually no, its the best I could come up with at such short notice, unless you've got a better idea?'

Vlad: PERMISSION TO SPEAK FREELY, SIR!

Marshall and Clarke look stunned as Vlad shouts at the top of his voice...

CJ: At ease, soldier, what is it?

Vlad: I have an idea....

MM: Go on?

Vlad: We ring the bell.

Marshall and Clarke stare in bemusement....

CJ: Have you been out in the sun too long, soldier?

MM: Clarke...

CJ: Yes, Sergeant?

MM: You're not really in the army...

CJ: Oh.....

MM: He's not really a soldier...

CJ: I see...

MM: I'm not a soldier.

CJ: Uh-huh! Anyway, moving on swiftly, i say we skip the front, and pile are way in through the back door....

MM: Eu....

CJ: That way we can slide in, completely undetected. Ease ourselves gently in to position before unloading on them...

Zakky fires off another round from the nerf gun and Marshall and Clarke look up at him before Marshall whispers in Clarke's ear...
MM:........phemism.

CJ: What?

MM: Who are we after anyway? Keith Leone? Dicey Reilly? Lex Hart? Median?

CJ: Nate Nack?

MM: Paddywhack?

??: Don't take no flack?

??: Rhyme in time to the rhythm of the track.

James and Murdoch look up to see Ant and Dec driving in the other direction on a similar looking truck, James shakes his head in disbelief as Marshall stares solemnly....

MM: I miss Jimmy Nail....

James pats Marshall on the back...

CJ: We all do, but we have bigger things to deal with right now...THE MAP!

Zakky moves forward, unpinning the map from the truck floor. Marshall grabs desperately at thin air trying to retrieve the map....

The map falls tantalizing out of Marshall's reach before catching the breeze and flying off into the distance.

MM: 'God dammit! Who's idea was it to rent a truck that's basically open plan?'

CJ (looking sheepish): 'I told you there's budget cuts! It was either get a better vehicle or cancel the sky subscription in the church!'

Vlad (firmly): 'Which would have meant no more Russia's next top model'.

CJ; 'Yeah he was adamant he wasn't losing that, and the next step up from this was a corsa, and that would have been one hell of a squeeze'

MM: 'Fair point, its not the most threatening of vehicles either. What do we do know though?

(Suddenly Vlad grabs the gun off Zakky and points it straight at Zakky's face)

MM: 'Woah, steady on, I know he messed up but that's a bit too far, I admire the sentiment though. Besides we are forgiving folk hear at the church, and Zakky is our friend, we won't resort to such inhumane punishment.

(The camera fades to black and then cuts back several hours later as 'road to nowhere' by the Talking Heads is playing, Zakky can be seen tied up in the corner of the truck)

MM: 'What's taking so long?'

CJ: 'Turns out the map of 6CW also had directions to 6CW written on the back, and Xeres doesn't know the way to their arena'

MM: 'Do they not play at big venues like the M.E.N. and Wembley though? Surely everyone knows where they are?

CJ: 'No actually I don't think they actually attract enough people to do that'

MM: 'Where are we heading then?'

CJ (pulling out a ticket) : 'The Altrincham College Sports Hall - glamorous'

MM: 'You bought a ticket?'

CJ: 'I thought it would be rude not to, we can't just barge in within a ticket can we?

MM: 'I though that's exactly what we were doing?'

CJ: 'Oh yeah...'

MM: 'Anyway Xeres step on it, I want to be there by the time we get back from the advert break!'

(The camera cuts to commercials and when it returns the Church is outside the Altrincham College Sports Hall)

MM: 'Well that was handy'

CJ: It's all about continuity, Marsh.....Hey Chris...

Marshall looks stunned as Chris Patricks walks past....

MM: But isn't he?

CJ: No, that's Chris Benoit.

MM: Ah. And the weights bench?

CJ: Rehab.

Marshall nonchalantly shrugs his head as Xeres sprints over to the two men...

Xeres: Errr, guys, I have some bad news.

CJ: They didn't renew your contract, we know.

Xeres: What?

CJ: Oh, er, nothing, do continue....

Xeres: But you said...

MM: God dammit, will you spit it out boy?

Xeres: We're at the wrong venue?

Clarke face palms as Marshall looks sheepish before dismissing Xeres...

MM: No, i can't be wrong. Trust me, this is where 6CW holds their shows.

Xeres: It's not, sir. This is TNA.

Vlad walks into shot and places the nerf gun in the face of Marshall as James places his hand on the gun, moving it away from the face of Marshall as he shakes his head at Vlad...

CJ: We really need to start doing background checks on these guys....

MM: We?

CJ: Yeah?

MM: Are we back together then?

CJ: Well isn't this what this is all about?

MM: I thought it was for HBO?

CJ: You mean Dr. Shoe?

MM: No the TV company.

CJ: Trash TV?

Marshall rolls his eyes...

MM: Have you always been like this?

James points at the scar on his head...

CJ: Head wound. Schrapnel from a howitzer. I stilll hear the screeching late at night.

The screen zooms in on the face of James, sweat begins to pour as the sound of gunfire fills the screen before the camera cuts to Marshall...

MM: No you didn't. Cassius hit you with a chair. I saw it. I laughed........VLAD!!!

Vlad pokes the gun in the face of James as we head to commercial.

The commercials are about to roll when Marshall pulls the camera back in.

MM: 'Woah... we only cut to adverts a few minutes ago! Folk'll go switching to corrie at this rate, and it's a goodun tonight, they finally reveal where Ken Barlow went to.'

(Xeres lets out a groan and can be seen with his head in his hands)

MM: Problem?

X: 'Forgot to sky plus it'

MM: 'Relax its on series link...VLAD!! That's really not helping

(Vlad is now prodding Clarke in the temple with his gun, before Marshall forcibly pushes the gun down, however Vlad only moves the gun down as far as Clarke's crotch)

MM: 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?'

(Vlad shrugs and moves the gun away before motioning himself shooting into the air)

MM: 'Ah go and shoot something over there if you're really that desperate to'

(Marshall waves in hand vaguely in the air and Vlad crouches down before prowling off)

MM: (aside to Clarke): 'I think you're right about the checks, we've got to check CRBs as a minimum from now on, anyway are you alright now?'

CJ: 'You don't know man! You weren't there!'

MM: 'Yes I was, in fact I wrestled earlier that night, but no-one ever remembers the midcard do they? Anyway what are we going to do now, we're miles away from 6CW and the shows about to start!'

X: 'I have a cunning plan'

MM: 'Go on the Rodney let's hear it'

CJ: 'It's Baldrick actually'

MM: 'What?'

CJ: 'You called him Rodney, you should have said Baldrick, it's a Blackadder reference'

MM: 'I'm from America, cut us some slack will you? I've never actually seen either of them.'

CJ: (whispering in Marshall's ear) But you're from the North?

(Before Marshall can respond they are both distracted by the sound of a gun going off before a window smashes and there are loud screams)

MM: 'He hasn't...'

CJ: 'He has...he's shot TNA...'

MM: 'Well he hasn't shot the whole of TNA has he?'

CJ: 'Does it matter? Well the hell do we do now then?'

MM: 'RUN!'

(Marshall, Clarke and Xeres all run off leaving Vlad behind)

CJ: 'Where are we running to?'

MM: 'To the COHmobile!!!'

(Clarke suddenly pulls up with an unamused look on his face and glares at Marshall)

MM: 'What? I thought it might catch on'

(Clarke shakes his head as the three men all jump back in the truck)

We come back from commercial, smoke billowing around the side of the highway as the camera close in on the overturned tank, Clarke James is stood puffing a cigarette as Marshall looks completely shocked…

CJ: That escalated quickly.

MM: Yeah.

CJ: Vlad killed a guy.

Marshall turns and stares at James….

MM: Seriously, after what Max Adamson put us through last year you’re really going to go down the Anchorman route!? COME ON!

Marshall flings his arms up in the air, knocking the cigarette out of James’ mouth. He walks away as the camera shows Vlad dragging the body of Zakky Spencer from the wreckage of the truck. Marshall nods in appreciation before they widen in horror. The camera pans round to show Xeres bound and gagged, blood tricking down his face…

MM: Jesus Christ man, they’re not hostages, they’re injured!

Marshall runs over, pulling the gag out of Xeres’ mouth and untying him, Vlad stares at him blankly, releasing Zakky who slumps to the floor. James waltzes over, tapping away at a Satellite phone…

MM: Where did you get that?

CJ: I got it for the trip?

MM: How much was it?

CJ: Er……..i dunno, about a buck, fifty?

Marshall looks unimpressed….

CJ: Like three hundred, maybe four…

MM: So you wasted the budget on this phone.

CJ: Maybe. But look how cool it is?

James waggles the phones in front of Marshall who looks impressed with the technology before shaking his head…

MM: It’s not the point, how is that gonna get us out of here?

CJ: It’s a satellite phone?

MM: Right?

CJ: So it means we can watch Sky Sports News on the go?

James points down at the phone as the image of Jim White can be seen, the phone cuts out…

CJ: Oh…

MM: What?

CJ: Out of battery.

MM: Seriously? You’ve got to be joking…

CJ: If I was joking I’d say a rabbi and a priest walk into…..

Suddenly a gust of wind blows past the two men, the sound of Spanish guitars fills the air, a mysterious figure stands, his long curly black hair blowing in the wind, his ling trenchcoat flapping behind him, James and Marshall move towards him, Vlad walks aside them, moving the nerf gun up only to be stopped by Marshall, they approach the man., the sun blocking his face….

CJ: Who are you?

The mysterious figure drops a black cigarette in the floor….

??: Ola, senor…… my name, is Alejandro….

The figure walks out of the sunlight….

??: Alejandro Suarez…..CHA CHA CHA!

Marshall and Clarke stand in shock as Vlad faints, crashing into the floor with a thud as we head to commercial.

Marshall and Clarke were stranded on this long and lonesome road, when all of a sudden there shined a shiny ...  Alejandro Suarez in the middle of the road...

AND HE SAID!

AS: 'Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul...CHA CHA CHA'

So Marshall and Clarke, they looked at each other and they said

CJ: 'OKAY!'

MM: 'Hang on, how the bloody hell are we supposed to do that?'

CJ: 'Easy, wait there for a sec...'

(Clarke wanders off to the remains of the truck whilst Marshall tries to make small talk with Alejandro)

MM: 'So you're a demon huh? How's that working out for you?'

(Fortunately the awkwardness is interrupted by Clarke returning with an electric guitar and a triangle)

MM: 'Where did you get them from?'

CJ: 'I picked them up before we went'

MM: 'Why? And it's more expenditure!?!'

CJ: 'Well it was going to be a long trip and I thought we might need some entertainment on the way, and yes but they're only on rental and look how handy it's turned out to be!'

MM: 'Well I'll admit it was a good job you thought ahead, and I suppose it's not too bad if you've just loaned them.'

CJ: 'Exactly, but unfortunately the drum kit didn't survive the crash so we've lost the deposit on that...'

(Marshall shakes his head before Alejandro loudly clears his throat and taps his watch)

CJ: 'We'd better get playing then'

(Marshall picks up the electric guitar looking puzzled)

MM: 'And how do you propose we do that? We can't even plug this in!'

CJ: 'Through the magic of television Marsh!'

So they played the first thing that came to their heads and it just so happened to be...well it was pretty bloody awful actually.
Needless to say, Alejandro was stunned, whip-crack went his whoopy...beard, but he wasn't done...

AS: 'Well that was pretty shit lads, so now I'm going to have to eat your souls'

(Marshall and Clarke look at each other completely indifferently)

AS: 'CHA, CHA, CHA!!!'

(Marshall and Clarke's facial expressions turn to one of horror of Alejandro approaches then)

MM: 'RUN!!!!'

(Both men start running)

CJ: 'Where to? We can't go back to the truck!'

MM: 'Over there, there seems to be a hiding hole'

(Marshall, Clarke and the recovered Vlad jump down the hole into pitch darkness, until a beam of light blasts out and Clarke can be seen holding an industrial standard torch)

MM: 'Seriously, how much money did you spend?'

(Before Clarke can answer they are interrupted by footsteps approaching in the distance, before a familiar figure walks into view)
Mark Palmer: 'Nobody gets in my well...'

CJ: Oh shit....

MM: You've gotta be kidding me.

Vlad begins to cower in fear behind the two men as Mark Palmer approaches....

MM: It's been nice knowing you, Clarke.

CJ: I love you, too, Marsha.

MM: What?

CJ: Erm.....olive juice.

Palmer moves closer to them, stepping into the light and staring them down before breaking out into a huge smile...

MP: Well hello there, friends! Welcome to my well!

Palmer flicks a switch on the wall as a bright neon sign on the wall lights up saying 'Mark's Well', only with numerous bulbs missing...

CJ: Nice!

MM: Yeah, lovely.

MP: I haven't seen anyone down here in a long time....

James looks around noticing a skeleton in the corner of the well...

CJ: Pst, Marsh....

MM: What?

CJ: Lookit!

Marsh ignores James as Palmer continues to talk...

MP: Ever since that incident in 6WF, i've become somewhat of a recluse. Looking for that final resting place....

CJ: Oh god, he's gonna kill us!

MM: Will you shut up.

MP: I'd heard about it, see. Someone told me there was a place where old 6WF characters went to die, or at least their careers....

CJ: Oh my god, oh my god!!!

MM: CLARKE!

Palmer turns and faces the pair....

MP: Problem?

MM: Nothing. You were saying?

MP: Ah yes, this place, this humble resting place. It had been mentioned to me many a time. I'd get cryptic messages, accidental PM's, once, this guy came to my house, took of his pants and offered himself to me if i joined....

MM: Sounds like how Hero recruits....

CJ: HA!

The camera cuts to Vlad who looks confused and upset...

MP: But i never found it. I dug and i dug and i dug and nothing, until one day it hit something...

CJ: A passer by?

MM: CEE-J!

CJ: Ok, ok! Continue...

MP: I thought i'd found it. I climbed up, desperate to see if this place existed, but no, it was nothing more than a shell of what i was looking for. I stared into the ring, nothing but a confused Frenchman standing over the body of a drug ravaged clown...

MM: Wait a minute, are you saying you found...

CJ: 6CW?

MM: You had to steal my line, didn't you?

Palmer smiles.....

MP: Yes i did....

Palmer flicks another switch on the wall and a stream of lights flicker on revealing a huge tunnel....

MM: Whoa.......

CJ: Impressive. I haven't seen a hole that wide since that video Lex and Jess made.

MM: Mark, will you take us?

MP: I don't know, guys?

CJ: Please?

MP: Ok.

MM: That was easy.

MP: But i can't guarantee your safety. The trail will be long and hard. We must trek, day and night, even then there is no guarantee we will make it.
Are you will risk it?

MM: Sure.

MP: Oh, ok.

Marshall, Clarke, Vlad and Mark begin their journey as we head to commercial.

The four men are shown walking down the tunnel side by side as 'the long and winding road' plays in the background.

MM: 'It's an impressive structure Mark, but why did you make the tunnel so wide? Aren't you just making more work for yourself?'

(The shot then moves on several hours and the four men are still walking, although all seem to walking less purposely than before and Marshall is looking extremely exasperated)


VR: 'So it's something beginning with R?'

CJ: 'Yep'

VR: 'And it's definitely not Rylan from the X-Factor?'

CJ: 'Yep'

MP: 'Is it a rhino?'

MM: 'For God sakes it's a rock! Why on earth would there be a rhino down here?'

(The four men all stop worriedly for a moment listening intently)

MM: 'Well that's a relief, normally why I saw something like that a rhino would show up.'

(The shot then moves on several more hours and all 4 men are looking very tired now)

MM: 'Right lads we're going to have to stop for a moment'

CJ (looking concerned): 'Why are you alright?'

MM: 'Oh yeah I'm fine (Marshall points behind him) but spare a thought for the cameraman, he must be knackered lugging that thing all this way'

(The film then speeds up then and the group seem to pass the same photo of Mark and his well several times)

CJ: 'Hang on...we've been walking for hours and we don't seem to be getting anywhere, plus I'm sure we've been here before'

MM: 'Yeah, you're right, how much further is it Mark?'

MP: 'I'm not too sure, could be hours, could be days'

CJ: 'What if we just turn left here instead of right?'

MP: 'No don't do that...'

(Clarke, Marshall and Vlad ignore him and turn left, they walk for barely 30 seconds and are faced with the entrance to the 6CW arena, the 3 men turn around to stare at Mark angrily)

MM: 'You knew we weren't that far away didn't you? Why have you been keeping us down there for so long?'

MP: 'Sorry guys, but you don't know what it's like! I've been down here for two years with little to no human contact, I spend my days empty and alone with nothing but my memories to keep me occupied, it was just nice to have someone to talk to, well someone who could talk back, for once.'

(Marshall and Clarke exchange a look, and Clarke nods at Marshall)

MM: 'How do you fancy coming with us Mark? We could use someone to replace Xeres and Zakky?......Mark?

Marshall and Clarke turn round to see Mark Palmer replaced with The Consultant....

CJ: What's going on?

TC: Take a look....

Marshall and Clarke turn around, the 6CW Arena has been replaced by an empty Wembley Stadium, the Born In Fire poster hanging from the roof in the distance....

MM: I don't understand....

TC: Take it all in, Gentlemen....

CJ: Why?

TC: Because after tonight, you may never see it again....

The Consultant turns around and walks away, fading into the distance. Marshall and Clarke look at each over. The graveness of the situation etched across their faces. The walk forward slightly, stopping and looking up at the Born In Fire poster. The camera moves away, zooming in to the faces of Alex Walker as a bright white light begins to engulf the screen as 'I See Fire' by Ed Sheeran begins to play....

Images of previous Born In Fires are shown. Former 6WF stars like Nemesis, Rockv2, Diablo, Perfect Jack, Easy Money, Hobo, Enforcer, JJ Johnson, Saint, GDC are shown on the screen.

Images of the participants in tonights matches are shown before the image of Danny McGraw and Alex Walker are shown on screen.
The images die down and the sound of footsteps can be heard as Hero walks into shot. He looks at Marshall and Clarke and gestures to them.....

Hero: It's time.

Hero turns around and heads into the light as Marshall and Clarke follow and the opening credits roll.

RJ: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Born In Fire 2013. We are live on Eurosport and Eurosport HD. Coming to you from a near capacity Wembley Stadium...

MW: The atmosphere in here is electric, 'Arj. This is the biggest night in the 6WF calendar and what a night it's going to be...

RJ: That's right Mike, we have a stacked card. 10 matches, featuring some of the greatest superstars to ever grace this company and by god what a main event we have in store. The recently reformed Church of Hero battling ReGenesis for the control of 6WF, the future of 6WF hangs in the balance tonight.

MW: But before that we have numerous matches coming up


A graphic of Kenzaki Nogami and Tsukasa Yagamura appears on the screen.

MW: Former tag team partners, former Tag Team Champions, now in a heated feud and preparing to tear each other apart in the biggest night of the year in 6WF, this one won’t be pretty.


The graphic then changes to show Lucas Takeo, Blue Dragon and Fanatic.

RJ: A match which has the potential to be one of the most bloody in 6WF’s history. Three monsters battling it out, no rules, one title up for grabs; this one won’t be for the faint of heart.


James McManus and Finlay are then shown on the screen with the tagline “End of an Era” underneath them.

MW: This match will be one of the most emotional in 6WF’s history as Finlay steps into a 6WF ring for one last match to fight James McManus for the European Title.

RJ: Win, lose or draw, Finlay will certainly be able to leave tonight knowing he gave everything in his career to this company.


The graphic then transitions to a shot of Kenji Hidari and Cameron Faith.

RJ: What a year it has been for these two men; championship gold, factions joined, battle lines drawn, and it now all comes down to this. Who will walk out with the coveted FreeWeight Title when this one is all said and done?


TGA and Max Adamson are then shown on the screen.

MW: Probably the most heated rivalry we have seen for a long time in 6WF as these two men fight for a shot at the TAW World Title.

RJ: You have to think that this match means so much more than that though Mike, these two legitimately hate each other and I can only see things getting worse throughout the night.

Pictures of Mr Kenty and Mike Hill are then shown on the screen.

RJ: What a story this match holds, these two men were at each other’s throats almost a year ago and are now going to go at it once again.

MW: Yeah, the Gold Rush Battle Royal winner Mr Kenty gets his shot at Mike Hill’s TAW World Title, in what could be a career making match for Kenty.


We then cut to a shot of Resistance, Udo Berg and Visage and the the Consultancy.

MW: The Tag Team Titles are up for grabs in this match as three separate times all vie for the gold.

RJ: Two of ReGenesis’ monsters clash with the Consultancy and Tag Team Champions Resistance in what many people are tipping to be one of the most chaotic matches of the year in 6WF.


A graphic of Lex Hart and Crime Lord is then shown on screen.

MW: Two former World Champions, problems brewing since Destiny, this match has all the makings of an instant classic.

RJ: With these two men though it could also be a brawl like no other.


Logan Kincade and Keith Leone then flash up on the screen.

MW: Logan Kincade has had one of the most successful years for a singles superstar in 6WF’s history. Rising through the ranks and beating such legends as Blue Dragon, Cassius Zhi and Clarke James. He now looks to eliminate one of Alex Walker’s most hated enemies, Keith Leone.

RJ: Keith Leone is not going to do down without a fight though, you can count on that.


A graphic then shows members of the Church of Hero and ReGenesis with the 6WF banner and ReGenesis banner hanging over the respective teams.

RJ: We now reach the main event of the evening, and boy is there a lot riding on this one.

MW: The very control of 6WF is at stake as Dicey Reilly, Geoff Steel and Cassius Zhi of ReGenesis take on the Church of Hero representing 6WF. The stakes could not be higher.

RJ: No matter where your allegiances lie, you will be glued to this match for sure.

MW: But now the time for talking is over, and there is only one thing left to do.

RJ: Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time for Born in Fire to begin.

*Various signs are shown around the arena...

"BIF>TLC"
"IT'S KENTY'S TIME"
"SAVE US COH"
"YOU'RE MY HERO, HERO"
"WE WANT JJ"
"I'VE GOT THE FAITH"
"ALEX WALKER NEEDS HIS ASS KICKING"
"ANYONE NEED ANY GARDENING DONE? ENQUIRIES TO STEVE CLARKE"

Jack Reynolds is stood backstage wearing a tuxedo, his smile wide as the fans can be heard chanting in the background....

JR: Ladies and Gentleman, it's my pleasure to welcome you to Born In Fire! This is our seventh edition and it promises to be even more spectacular as the ones before!

*Crowd Pop*

JR: Please welcome my guest at this time, Co-General Manager of Lockdown........The Duke, Danny McGraw!!!

Crowd: YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Danny McGraw walks into shot to a huge cheer from the crowd, a huge grin etched across his face as he adjusts his Stetson...

JR: Danny, with so much riding on tonight people may be confused as to the huge grin, you seem awfully happy for someone who could lose everything tonight?

DM: Well, Jack. Being here in Wembley Stadium, surrounded by all these fans reminds me just how damn proud i am to have been able to get this company to where it is today, and right now, nothing can take this smile off my face...

*Crowd Pop*

JR: You certainly had a lot to be smiling about come the end of Lockdown two weeks ago, was it a masterstroke bringing Hero back to reunite the Church?

DM: Masterstroke? No. What you forget is that 6WF is a family. Whatever we may have been through over the last 7 years, regardless of circumstance, we've been through it together, trough the highs and the lows. When Walker issued the challenge, there was no hesitation in who i wanted out there to defend the honour of 6WF. Marshall and Clarke are one of the greatest tag teams in the history of this company, and when Walker tried to screw us it wasn't exactly a difficult decision to approach Hero.

JR: And i take it he was more than willing to help?

DM: Absolutely. When people think of the greats of 6WF, the people that have lit up this company and helped get us where we are today, Hero is among them. When we offered him the chance to reform perhaps the greatest stable in history it was a no brainer. The chance to go out there and keep the company in the hands it belongs in is an opportunity any 6WF star would want, Hero is no different and i couldn't be more delighted to have him on board.

JR: People will of course question the dynamic between Marshall, Clarke and Hero, giving their chequered history, do you see this as being an issue?

DM: Of course i don't. You see Marshall and Clarke today, mucking around, sharing jokes, looking out for each other and fighting for the same cause. That's what this is all about, fighting for the same cause. It's not about personal goals or acheivements, it's about fighting for something you believe in. You take a look around that locker and you'll see that every member of 6WF shares the same beliefs. This company is worth fighting for. This company is ready to stand up and be counted. We're ready to go to war and keep what's rightfully ours, and believe me when i say we've got the 3 best men for the job out there...

JR: An obvious question, Danny, is how do you see Re-Genesis tonight? Are you expecting interference?

McGraw chuckles to himself...

DM: I'd expect nothing less from Alex Walker. I'm not stupid, i know exactly what he's capable of and exactly how far he'll go to get what he wants. As a company; and by that i mean every single person watching backstage, you have to be ready. If you believe in 6WF, if you want your future to be 6WF then stand up, show yourself and do what's right.

JR: Just one more question before you go, Danny....if tonight is your last night in control of 6WF, what's your outstanding memory in all this?

McGraw stands contemplating for a moment. He reaches up, removing his Stetson and looking at Reynolds...

JR: Through seven years i've seen some of the greatest matches, with the greatest competitors in the world. I've seen jaw-dropping moments that i could watch again, and again. I've seen the underdog win, i've seen the crooked heel do whatever it takes to win. I've watched legends born, and legends retire. I've seen the utterly shocking to the completely outrageous. I've stood with the fans looking on in disbelief, i've experienced the monumental highs to the crippling lows, and yet, i can't answer your question, Jack....

McGraw places the Stetson back on his head and smiles....

DM: Because, after tonight, i'm going to sit back in my chair, pour myself a glass of bourbon and look forward to seven more years of 6WF history!

Crowd: YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

McGraw smiles at Reynolds who nods in appreciation....

JR: Danny, it's been my pleasure, good luck for tonight and thanks for your time! Ladies and Gentleman, Danny McGraw!!

The crowd cheer again as McGraw doffs his hat to the camera and walks off as we head to ringside.

RJ: Folks, up first we have a match that many people won't have expected to see on the card....

MW: That's right, two men, practically brothers, torn apart almost by failure....

RJ: Dopant Zero, the  team credited with the rejuvenation of the Tag Team division ever since they lost the chance to compete together here at Born In Fire. Let's take you back to Destiny...

A video clip begins to play

6WF Destiny, 2013 - Beijing, China

MW: Nogami looking for a way to take away the tag options of Oko here.

Nogami then drags Oko to his feet, taking him down to the mat with an arm drag. He stumbles up to his feet, Nogami hits a quick snapmare which he follows up with a bakatare sliding kick to the face. Cover.

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

Johnny Oko again drives the shoulder up off the mat, Nogami leaps up to his feet and waits for Oko to rise. He whips him into the ropes but runs with him, connecting with a knee to the gut, he then rests Oko’s head over the top rope before bouncing off the ropes.

RJ: Oh wow what a move!

MW: Over the top rope tiger feint kick! Now a superkick to Riddick as well!

RJ: Very clever tactics from Nogami and Dopant Zero it has to be said.

Nogami steps into the ring and covers Oko.

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

The Consultancy man gets the shoulder up just in time. Oko is hauled to his feet by Nogami, who slings Oko over his shoulders setting up for the Samurai shock. He strides forward and flips Oko off his shoulders but somehow he lands on his feet. Nogami turns around and Oko levels him with a spinning heel kick!

MW: What a counter from Johnny Oko, tremendous wrestling there!

RJ: He needed that counter, Nogami was about to finish him off. Both men flat out...

Nogami is the first man up to his feet, he struggles towards his corner where Yagurama is stretching his hand out for the tag...

MW: VORTEX!

Vortex is up on the outside, he pulls Yagurama down off the apron, the big man’s head crashing into it. He then clutches him by the waist before hitting a belly to belly throw into the steel railings, much to the delight of the crowd. In the ring, Oko looks around for a tag and Scorpion is the only man left on the ring apron, Oko reluctantly tags him in.

Scorpion steps into the ring, he is waiting impatiently for Nogami to get to his feet and turn around...

RJ: DEATH STALKER!

MW: That could be the first team gone!

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

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman, Dopant Zero have been eliminated from the match!

RJ: The Resistance’s first action of the match and it ends with Scorpion eliminating Nogami, thus eliminating Dopant Zero, the former tag team champions.

MW: And as per the stipulations of the match-up, Dopant Zero will not be able to compete for the tag team titles at Born In Fire.

RJ: That was the beginning of the downfall for these two men, and it exploded suddenly, when Kenzaki Nogami; desperate to prove his worth as a singles competitor became frustrated with his partners attempts to help...

Another video plays...

6WF Lockdown, 9th November, 2013

RJ: Good counter-wrestling there from Kuinishi!

McManus rolls up following the pin attempt but Kuinishi quickly goes at him with a succession of big Muay Thai elbows to the head. He then launches McManus into the corner, where he runs in hitting a dropkick. McManus slumps down, Kuinishi goes up to the top rope...

RJ: Backflip knee drop!

Finlay: 1.................2..........Kick out!

MW: Here comes Yagurama!

RJ: Maybe Nogami isn’t an individual in this match after all!

Yagurama steps onto the ring apron, Kuinishi and McManus roll to their feet are simultaneously staring down at the Dopant Zero man who motions them on. Finlay barges past them, ordering Yagurama to the back, nearly shoving him off the apron. Nogami rolls into the ring, he hits a dropkick into the back of Kuinish’s head, he falls straight into McManus.

Nogami heads to the top rope but Finlay is now stood in front of him. He shakes his head and then indicates Nogami is banished fromt he match.

RJ: Oh wow! Finlay really laying down the law!

MW: I got it wrong, he can control this match!

Nogami steps off the top rope, looking angry. Yagurama is attempting to apologise but Nogami is having none of it and he slaps Yagurama stiffly across the face, the crowd are cheering. The two then start exchanging huge blows up the rmap...

RJ: Their tag team has imploded!

MW: One of 6WF’s greatest tag teams are falling to pieces right in front of us!

RJ: Their singles ambitions are clearly coming to the fore!

MW: And it was a week later when Tsukasa Yagamura laid down the challenge....

6WF Lockdown, 16th November, 2013

Jack Reynolds is stood backstage chatting with some stagehands when Tsukasa Yagamura storms up behind him, grabbing him by the scruff of the neck....

TY: You! You have camera?

Reynolds looks up at Yagamura nervously...

JR: Yes........why?

TY: You film! I want Kenzaki-son to see this....

Yagamura releases his grip on Reynolds who motions for the camera crew to come over, he grabs a microphone and hands it to Yagamura and steps back as the Team Japan member stares into the camera.....

TY: Kenzaki-San? I know you hear me. You should listen up well, for what I foretell will be of great interest for you.

Last week, you embarrass Yagamura. You attack, assault and attempt to hurt your brother, and for what?

For trying to help? For trying to hide your weakness from the rest of this company? Kenzaki-San, you are noble warrior. We fight many battles together. We win championships all over the world, but Kenzaki-San, you are not great warrior, not true warrior.

To be true warrior, you must win honourably. Not by cowardly attacks. Not by words of mis truth. At Born In Fire, Kenzaki, I lay down the challenge. Face me honorably.

Tsukasa Yagamura slams the mic to the floor and walks off.

RJ: Two great champions, former partners, almost family, will aim to settle their differences here tonight, and when we come back we'll here from both men.

Kayleigh Reed is stood backstage with Kenzaki Nogami....

KR: I'm joined at this time by Kenzaki Nogami, who tonight goes up against his former partner in a quest for revenge. Nogami, how do you feel going into this match...

Nogami stares a hole through Reed, snatching the mic from her hand...

KN: How does Nogami feel? Nogami feels like this is more disrespect aimed at him. I should not have to stand here and answer questions about a nothing match. Nogami should be competing for European Title and proving to everyone why i am next best thing in singles competition.

White trash stand there and question Nogami, why does she not question Tsukasa about his idiocies? Why does she not question why he cost his brother through plain jealousy? Why does she no question why Tsukasa feel he have right to challenge Nogami? These are the questions that matter. Nogami feels sick to his stomach. He has been robbed of a chance to prove himself through the actions of others and it make him sick.

Tonight, Nogami go out to Born In Fire and he show whole world what Nogami capable off. Tsukasa think he has been embarrassed but Nogami hasn't even started yet. Tonight he truly embarass Tsukasa and he show everyone.

But, Kayleigh...

KR: Yes?

KN: You already knew that.

Nogami gives Reed a sadistic smile before dropping the mic and walking off.

Jack Reynolds is stood backstage with Tsukasa Yagamura. He stands, his fists clenched and his face red with anger….

JR: Mr Yagamura, you can see from those comments that tonight’s match isn’t about anything more than getting revenge on you for what Nogami sees as you embarrassing and costing him his chance at the European Title, do you see it in the same way?

Tsukasa stares into the distance, his fists still clenched…

JR: Mr Yagamura?

Yagamura raises his finger, hushing Reynolds…

TY: You hear that, Mr Reynolds?

Reynolds looks puzzled…

TY: That is the sound of no one caring for the lies of Nogami. What he says, what he claims they are just illusions in his mind! I have carried Nogami for years. Looked after him like my little brother. Protected him at all costs and this is how he repays me? To slander my name. Disgrace our heritage for his own personal gain.

His actions disgrace not only Yagamura but every far eastern superstar to ever perform in wrestling. We have honourable heritage. We pride ourselves on this. We are not selfish or driven my personal goals.

Nogami will find out the hard way what happens when you turn your back on your own. He will learn it the hard way and I promise it will stick.

Yagamura bows his head at Reynolds and walks off towards the ring.

RJ: What better way is there to kick off Born In Fire than a grudge match!

MW: These matches are often as a result of months worth of anger, frustration and hatred boiling over. On this occasion, it is different.

RJ: A month ago nobody would have predicted this match happening tonight. In fact, I believe many people thought this match would never happen, such was the bond these two shared.

MW: One of the most successful tag teams in not just 6WF history, but wrestling history. The perfect combination of power and pace, these men were like brothers.

RJ: But it all changed when they were eliminated first in the tag team title match at Destiny, meaning they couldn’t compete for the tag team titles this evening. This seemed to breed some kind of contempt between the two men as it became clear they may have to go it alone.

“Feeling it” roars out through the speakers and the Wembley crowd descend into loud boos as Kenzaki Nogami walks confidently out onto the stage. He makes his way down the ramp with a hint of arrogance in his stride. He climbs onto the ring apron before using the ropes to flip into the squared circle.

RJ: I would say it was this man who caused the break-up of Dopant Zero, It was him who blamed Yagurama for everything, from losing that shot at the tag titles to losing in a European
Titles. I can’t help but feel that was a big mistake.

MW: We won’t know until we see how this match unfolds. Nogami could prove tonight that Yagurama has been holding him back and that he is an incredibly gifted singles wrestler.

“Made you look” hits and the crowd give a slightly more positive reaction as Tsukasa Yagurama stomps out onto the stage. He stares down at Nogami who taunts his former tag partner. Yagurama walks down the ramp slowly, his glare not leaving Nogami. Yagurama steps into the ring and Nogami smirks across at him but Yagurama remains straight faced.

RJ: Yagurama seems almost regretful that this situation has reached this point.

MW: That’s a bad attitude to be taking into this match RJ. He has to want to win, otherwise Nogami will take him apart. He can’t show any sympathy or regret here.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Yagurama and Nogami lock-up. It is Yagurama who gains the advantage by pushing Nogami back from the centre of the ring, but he quickly counters with a sly knee into the stomach. Nogami hits a couple of more swift knees to ensure Yagurama lurches over. Nogami then bounces off the ropes, hitting a dropkick to the side of the head. He then again runs the ropes, sunset flipping over Yagurama into a pinfall predicament. Cover.

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

Yagurama kicks out with such force that Nogami is sent flying across the ring. Yagurama rolls to his feet, Nogami sprints in at him and Yagurama clutches him by the waist before flinging him out across the ring with a huge belly to belly suplex. Nogami rolls up groggily and walks straight into a huge clothesline from his old tag partner who hooks the leg.

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

RJ: The opening exchanges demonstrating the abilities that made these two such a potent tag team combination, the speed of Nogami and the power of Yagurama.

MW: That’s in the past RJ, stop going on about it!

Yagurama gets to his feet and hauls up Nogami. He then smashes a couple of big right-handed punches up into the chin of Nogami who staggers back towards the corner. Yagurama smiles for the first time in the match as he smashes a series of stiff open-hand chops down into the chest of Nogami, leaving red hand prints across his chest. Eventually Yagurama relents, allowing Nogami forward out of the corner before drilling him with a spinebuster. Cover.

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

Nogami forces the shoulder up, Yagurama quickly locks in a seated rear chinlock on Nogami. He fights to a vertical base before hitting some elbows into the side to escape the clutches of his former tag team partner. He goes for an arm drag but Yagurama blocks, he pulls him in Nogami before hitting a series of short, sharp shoulder blocks. He then lifts him into the air and nails a Japanese Stampede shoulder-breaker before going for the pin.

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

RJ: As I was referring to earlier, I don’t think Yagurama wanted this team to split up, it has always been Nogami who has been the instigator in this feud. He has made the first move every time, Yagurama only snapped at the Supershow. He did well to restrain himself for that long.

MW: Maybe he didn’t want the team to split up because he doesn’t have the confidence in his own abilities? Nogami clearly believes Yagurama was riding his co-tails and he can do without him.

Yagurama rolls up to his feet, he immediately drops a number of knees down into the right shoulder of Nogami before bringing him to a vertical base. He then hits a running powerslam on Nogami who rolls back towards the corner, attempting to escape his old tag partner.
Yagurama runs in at Nogami who uses the ropes to spring up and lift a boot into the face of Yagurama. He stumbles back and Nogami goes to the top rope, quickly springboarding off and hitting a missile dropkick. Cover.

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

Nogami quickly starts beating away on Yagurama, pummelling away at his head with big punches until the ref forces him to roll away. Yagurama slowly gets to his feet, Nogami hits a knee into the stomach before running the ropes and nailing a flying bulldog. Yagurama staggers up and Nogami sprints in, hitting a capoeira kick. He hooks the leg.

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

Yagurama kicks out and Nogami allows him to his feet. He then attempts to Irish whip him into the corner but Yagurama uses his power advantage to launch Nogami towards the turnbuckles. He follows in but Nogami springboards over the top and then hits a low dropkick which knocks Yagurama back into the corner. Nogami then sprints in, nailing a running kick to the face.
Yagurama slumps forward out of the corner and then falls to the mat, Nogami quickly hooks the leg.

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

MW: Nogami starting to take control of this contest. He’s showing all the skills it requires to have a successful singles career in this company, is it any wonder he didn’t want Yagurama holding him back anymore?

RJ: Don’t be ridiculous, how could Yagurama have been holding back? They were the most decorated tag team in this company’s history.

Nogami applies a front facelock on Yagurama, he gets to a vertical base and shoves Nogami to the ropes. Yagurama runs in at him, Nogami counters with a flapjack. With Yagurama’s head across the top rope, Nogami runs the ropes and nails an amazing over the top rope tiger feint
kick. Nogami goes the top rope...

MW: Moonsault!

RJ: What a combination move!

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

Yagurama is dragged to his feet by Nogami. Yagurama is struggling and Nogami brutally slaps him across the face. The crowd boo and Nogami then slaps Yagurama again. Yagurama takes a step back before crashing a huge punch into the side of the head. Nogami responds with another slap, then Yagurama hits a knee to the stomach.

He pummels away on the back of Nogami repeatedly with punches before driving him into the canvas with a Japanese Thunder Bomb. He hooks the leg.

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

Nogami kicks out, Yagurama retreats to the corner. He waits for his former tag partner to rise before sprinting in and nailing a huge spear, cover.

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

Yagurama quickly attempts to lock in a cloverleaf submission hold but he is booted away to the corner by Nogami. Yagurama staggers out of the corner...

MW: Rotating DDT by Nogami!

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

Yagurama just about gets the shoulder up in time. Nogami hauls him to his feet, he goes for an irish whip but Yagurama reverses, sending Nogami into the ropes. Yagurama ducks for a back body drop but Nogami flips over RVD style.

Yagurama spins around, Nogami nails a flash kick and Yagurama hits the mat. Nogami heads up top rope...

RJ: NOGAMI SPLASH!

MW: THAT’S IT!

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

Ding, Ding, Ding!

RJ: Kenzaki Nogami wins the battle of the former tag team partners!

MW: His speed proved too much for Yagurama in the end.

RJ: It is such a shame it came down to this, but what a great match to start the show with.

Nogami is celebrating when a mysterious Japanese man walks out onto the stage with a mic in hand, he is in a Team Japan t-shirt.

MW: Dopant Zero’s old manager!

RJ: From way back when they started off, Miyagi was his name wasn’t it Michael?

MW: I think so Arj.

Miyagi: What are you two doing? You two formed a bond in the Japanese wrestling dojo’s that should have been unbreakable, you have spent too much time on these shores, your ego’s have grown too large and you have forgotten what it’s like to be in those dojo’s, you’ve lost touch with reality. You have brought disgrace on Team Japan, you need to return home now, to get your stupid brains in order!

*Miyagi marches down to the ring and surprisingly both Nogami and Yagurama willingly follow him out, he marches them out of the arena as the crowd watches on.

RJ: Well that was strange!

Blue Dragon is seen in his locker room, he is looking down at the floor before lifting his head and staring into the camera…

BD: Hardcore... What is it?

Flashes from The recent Hardcore Championship Matches is shown, Especially Lucas Takeo's championship reign...

BD: Its being the Beast who can inflict as much damage on your opponent.... It's being able to dominate and to gain final victory over the guy on the other side of the ring...

Highlights of Various hardcore matches are shown, all in ring action that seems brutal and bloody…

BD: It's jumping from great heights and giving the fans something amazing for their money. It's risking life and limb for entertainment....

Images of great athletic leaps and dangerous 'spots' from hardcore matches past are shown with the crowd chanting 'Holy Sh*t' and 'This Is Awesome'

BD: That is what Hardcore is.......

Blue Dragon stands and looks into the camera..

BD: Now.....

A grimace crosses the face of the Liverpudlian Powerhouse..

BD: That is what Hardcore is about, now.... You see it wasn’t always about the title, it wasn’t always about getting a pop from the audience. Now you guys do everything you need to, to get the belt. You would sell your soul to hold a championship because that’s the pinnacle of your careers, if you don’t hold a belt that you’ve got no weight to throw around here... that title mean so much more than power to me. That title represents the hard work that we have all put in, both past and present, the sacrifice that men made to be called the best, the carriers ended, the lives shortened, the years and sweat and blood and hopes and dreams thrown away in the pursuit to be called the best, to be called, hardcore, the be called the man...

Blue Dragon is staring down the camera, a hunger in his eyes as scenes from past hardcore matches are shown..

BD: That is what that belt means to me, it's not a prize to be won by just anyone, it’s not something that can be snatched up and paraded around like a medal, it's a badge of honour, it's more than that...

Blue Dragons matches are highlighted, from his beginnings in 6WF, his time starting up what became the Hardcore division of his time...

BD: It's a scar, not like the type that we all get in the ring, not like the type that we get from glass, from barbed wire or any other weapons you can think of, it’s a scar that comes only with sacrifice, it's like every time you hurt someone then a little of you... it doesn’t die.. It changes, it turns somehow brighter.

Blue Dragon smiles, somewhat grimly as his early title matches are shown the brutality of the matches between him and Keith Leone, Chris Patricks and Code Efrego is sickening at times..

BD: You get these little parts of you that shine through, kinda like a burning whole through your image, you get a painful glow inside and no matter what you do, you can’t make it stop growing, every time you feel it you want to fight for your life and then it grows...

The Highlights move on, to show Blue Dragons return, his feud with Crime Lord and the twisted things that they did to each other and then his brutal Hardcore Championship match with Hero../

BD: It grows more and more until one day you feel like you’re in agony, your shining with this painful light and your glowing with the glory that comes with it, like molten gold, then you take that and you pour it into a mould. You shape that molten metal, and it becomes a championship.

The Image of Blue Dragon, Stood tall over the prone body of Hero, the Hardcore Title shining in his hand and a sick smile cracking its way onto his bloody and battered face fills the screen...

BD: The Hardcore Championship, it's not to be won, it's to be earned. Tonight, I will earn that gold through my own hard work and my own sacrifice, and I'll be damned if anyone's going to stop me.

Blue Dragon turns and walks out of shot, the screen fading black...

The camera heads backstage where a lime green t-shirt is shown on the screen. The camera pans out to the familiar grin of Finlay as the crowd cheer with approval. Finlay goes to speak but is cut off as the crowd burst into a loud chant…

Crowd: THANK YOU FINLAY! THANK YOU FINLAY! THANK YOU FINLAY!

Finlay looks emotional at the chant but composes himself…

Finlay: In case you had all forgotten, my name is Finlay….

Crowd: AND YOU LOVE TO FIGHT!!!

Finlay smiles…

Finlay: And never has a truer word been spoken. Throughout my career in this wonderful company I’ve carried that motto with me. I’ve always prided myself on never backing down, never walking away from a challenge. Tonight? Tonight sees the curtain come down on what I can only describe as a wonderful dream. I’ve lived everyman’s dream. I’ve travelled the world. Seen exotic countries, stayed in glamorous hotels, socialised with celebrities and most importantly, I got to do it in front of all of you….

Crowd: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Finlay: But it hasn’t always been easy. I’ve had my own personal battles. The flipside of the glamorous lifestyle is that for every swanky hotel, every world class arena, every first class flight has it’s opposite. I’ve stayed in ramshackle hostels, wrestled in school halls and travelled hundreds of miles in a beaten and broken car just to make a couple of bucks for a bottle and pack of smokes.

Tonight is the closing chapter on what has been a wonderful adventure. I've devoted my lifetime to something I've been so fortuitous to be a part of. When I got my break, I knew I had to grasp it with both hands and make every second count.

As I stand here now, before I head to that corridor I've walked a thousand times before, I wanna give thanks to a few people. I want to thank Hobo...

*Crowd Pop*

Finlay: Every fairytale needs that villain versus hero scenario. You gave me that, and whilst I hope I never have to see you or that scabby dog of yours again, it was an immense pleasure to have shared a ring with you...

The crowd break into applause...

Finlay: I want to thank Danny McGraw. Not only did he give me my chance. He supported my through my troubles, he gave me a reason to come back, and he took on an old timer looking for a chance at redemption.

I want to thank Abe, for trying to instil some of his Irish wisdom into this empty head of mine. For sticking by me and making this return as special as it. And Colbert, who, pulled me from the brink of self destruct.

The crowd applause as Finlay looks more and more emotional.....

Finlay: Finally, I want to thank a group of people who made every bump, bruise and sore head worth it. Who made waking up everyday a pleasure and not a chore. That group, those people, those I hold so dear, are each and every single one of you.....

Crowd: YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Finlay: You kept me going. You're the reason I get to stand here, one more time on the grandest stage of them all.

Tonight, it's not goodbye forever. It's thank you. Thank you for being part of this. Thank you for allowing me to come here day in and day out. Thank you for everything.

Finlay wipes away a tear as a huge applause breaks out....

Finlay: To James.....

Get ready. This is it. That one for the road I've been dreaming of. I'm coming for that title........CAUSE MY NAME IS FINLAY!!!

Crowd: YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Finlay: AND I CAME TO FIGHT.......ONE MORE TIME!

Finlay smiles, reaching down and raising a bottle of beer to the camera....

Finlay: Here's to ya!

Finlay swigs the bottle before winking as the camera fades to black.

RJ: We are just moments away from what promises to be a brutal contest as three men, hell bent on destroying each other, collide on the biggest stage of them all.

MW: Lucas Takeo, the man who outsmarted Crime Lord takes on the monstrous Fanatic, the 7 foot man mountain and the returning originator of Hardcore, Blue Dragon....

RJ: No abuse?

MW: You know, I kinda like this new Dragon....

RJ: Well I'll be.....but before we go any further, let's show you the events that led to this three men facing off...

A video begins to play....

6WF Lockdown Supershow, 21st September, 2013

VO: An Ear of Darkness is born....

RJ: Would you like at this? Crime Lord just punching away at the head of Takeo unrelentingly. Crime Lord dealing out some serious punishment.

MW: A very bad situation for Takeo to be in...

RJ: This is right in front of us folks, and I have to say, Takeo is barely conscious. This is a dangerous place for Takeo, this match needs to be stopped.

Crime Lord lifts Takeo to his feet but continues smashing punches down into the head of Takeo, who eventually collapses to the mat. The referee is looking down at Takeo with a worried look on his face, as Crime Lord continues smashing punches into the head of his long-term rival. The ref is asking Crime Lord if he wants to cover but he shakes his head...

MW: Crime Lord showing no pity here...

Takeo is dragged to his knees by Crime Lord who starts trash talking him, which he intersperses with punches to the head. Crime Lord is right in the face of Takeo, bad-mouthing him.

RJ: Crime Lord doesn’t like to win with digni...OH MY GOD!

MW: LOW BLOW! LOW BLOW! LOW BLOW!

RJ: TAKEO WAS PLAYING POSSUM ALL ALONG! TAKEO HAS FOOLED CRIME LORD!

MW: NO! NO! THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!

Crime Lord is keeled over, Takeo gets up to his feet smirking. He sees the table that he bought out, he grabs Crime Lord by the throat and strides towards it...

RJ: CHOKESLAM!

MW: PLEASE DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN...

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

Ding, Ding, Ding!

RJ: IT HAPPENED! IT HAPPENED!

MW: OH MY GOD! I DIDN’T THINK IT COULD HAPPEN! I DIDN’T THINK HE COULD BE BEATEN!

RJ: WELL BELIEVE IT MICHAEL, NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION!

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman...the winner of this match by PINFALL and NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW 6WF HARDCORE CHAMPION....LUKKAASSSS TAKKEEEOOOO!

MW: We thought that Takeo could out-power Crime Lord, but out-smart him? I didn’t think it could happen RJ.

RJ: Well it has Mike, we’ve got a new Hardcore Champion and I’d say it will be the first of many for Takeo!

6WF Destiny, Beijing, China

VO: A Hardcore legend returns...

RJ: THE FINAL SERMON!

MW: A mini COH reunion!

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

James gets to his feet in disbelief, he is taken out by an on-rushing Dicey Reilly. Murdoch goes to attack Dicey, but he ducks a clothesline before hitting a DDT, driving Murdoch’s head into the head of Takeo.

Meanwhile, Hart is up to his feet and fighting his way out of the sleeper hold with elbows to the gut. He follows this up with a hurracanrana, sending Kenty into the mat. Hart then starts stomping away on the back.

RJ: New entrant time!

“Before I forget” rings out...

MW: NO, please god, NO! NOT HIM!

RJ: IT IS!

MW: WHY 6WF? WHY?!

RJ: BLUE DRAGON!

Blue Dragon steps out onto the stage, he smirks and shouts it’s good to be back before running down the ramp. The first man in his path is Vortex, Blue Dragon almost apologies that it’s him before nailing a clothesline. Blue Dragon then lifts up Marshall, hitting a sit down powerbomb.

BD then drags up Takeo, driving some knees up into the gut that back Takeo into the corner.[/b]

6WF Lockdown, 9th November 2013

VO: Battle lines drawn....

The camera cuts to the backstage area where Lucas Takeo can be seen standing by, his Hardcore Title hanging over his shoulder. Takeo is unmoving for a while before he turns his head to face the camera and begins to speak.

Takeo: Listen, can you hear that?

Takeo then goes quiet once again and nothing can be heard for a few seconds before Takeo lets out a low chuckle.

Takeo: It’s the sound of silence, the silence that fills the halls when I make my presence known. They say that one is the loneliest number but I disagree with that statement whole heartedly for it is one that is the supreme, one that is all powerful, one that everyone in the 6WF fears whether they like to admit it or not. To be honest I don’t blame any of you, if the roles were reversed of a monster like myself coming out on the prowl to put my own health in jeopardy. I mean look what happened to Crime Lord, the “tough guy” of 6WF; I took both his own body and reputation and I crushed it down into the mat. I took the man that no one dared speak ill of and I showed him to be average at best, well at least compared to a man of my calibre. All of 6WF now knows that I am the top dog and it’s for that reason that these corridors are now mine that ring is now mine and the 6WF itself may as well be…

Takeo stops talking abruptly and looks past the camera which then in turn pans around to reveal Fanatic standing by. Fanatic then walks towards Takeo until he is face to face with him, standing some distance apart though still, and just stares coldly at Takeo.

Takeo: Do you have anything you need here or have all of our hopes and dreams come true and you’ve finally forgotten how to speak.

Fanatic: I was just enjoying that example of verbal masturbation Lucas, but now that you mention it I do have a few things I could probably get off my chest. I mean first and foremost these halls only go empty when you’re around thanks to a mixture of the drivel that spills uncontrollably out of your mouth, as well as the body odour that shoots off of you. Nobody around here fears you for you are nothing to be afraid of, I mean when you first arrived, you sailed in on a wave of hype, everyone believed you to be this unstoppable machine, but that myth was quickly dispelled. Now people see you for the overgrown sack of manure that you really are, though that becomes painfully obvious when you’re in the presence of someone like me. Former European Champion, destroyer of World Champions, the man for whom the word “fear” isn’t strong enough to describe how everyone else feels about him. People around here, they may try and avoid you, keep out of your way, but they run away from a guy like me, and pretty soon, you’re going to wish that you ran with all of them.

Fanatic and Takeo go nose to nose and it seems as if a fight is about to break out when some clapping can be heard off camera. Fanatic takes a step back away from Takeo as Blue Dragon walks into shot, standing equally distant from both men. BD surveys both of the other men before he begins to speak.

BD: So this is what the term “monster” describes in 6WF these days, my how times have changed. I remember when a monster in 6WF used to be liable to set his opponents on fire or actually had the power to end a career, not just sit backstage in the shadows like some emo-bitch. God, look at the two of you, there is so much potential but it unfortunately will never deliver. If the two of you were really smart you wouldn’t be competing with each other to try and be the best monster of this 6WF era, but would instead be looking up to a guy like me to try and make yourselves into true creatures of horror.

Fanatic: Look up to a guy like you?

BD: Yeah, why? Would you have a problem with a guy like me being a role-model to you?

Fanatic: Yeah I would actually; I mean first off when I do finally win a World Title I doubt it will be for five minutes, and secondly I don’t see that many people being afraid of you. I mean a lot of people have kicked Takeo’s ass before, but you… you’re just a joke now. Patricks, Leone, Crime Lord, Steel, Kincade, etc, a whole list of guys who’ve made you look like the punk bitch that you are.

BD: Is that so, well maybe I should remind you why I’m…

As Blue Dragon goes to finish his sentence Lucas Takeo suddenly lunges forward and clotheslines him to the ground. Takeo then turns to the Fanatic and kicks him in the gut before smashing him in the head with the Hardcore Title belt, then turning to BD once and waiting for him to rise, before hitting him with the belt too. Takeo then smiles at his handiwork, before he readjusts the Hardcore Title on his shoulder, then walks out of shot as the camera cuts away.

MW: This match will not be for the feint at heart I can promise you that.

RJ: Before we witness that, Jack Reynolds is  standing by with Lucas Takeo.

The camera moves from ringside and pans around the arena before cutting to the VT.

Jack Reynolds is stood backstage with Lucas Takeo...

JR: Takeo, tonight you make what could be the most important defence of your Hardcore Title knowing that if you're pinned, you're not only losing the 6WF Hardcore Title, but also your job. Do you have any fear going into this match?

Takeo laughs....

LT: Fear? Does Takeo look like a man who knows fear? Fear is what Blue Dragon and The Fanatic will be feeling knowing one of them will be leaving 6WF behind forever. When i took this title from Crime Lord i promised and Era of Darkness would engulf 6WF and tonight is just the beginning of that. I am going to destroy these two pretenders. I'm going to show Blue Dragon the true definition of Hardcore and send The Fanatic crawling back in to his little lair, back to the nothingness from which he came.

JR: You mention Blue Dragon, who as we know has a pretty strong history in Hardcore battles, are you prepared for what could happen?

LT: I think the question is, Jack, are they ready? Do they really believe that they know how far i'll go? Nobody here knows what i'm capabale of. What i'm prepared to do, and the lengths i'll go to prove that this era wasn't some false dawn is unfathomable. I will....

Takeo stops as the lights around him begin to flicker before the screen goes into darkness. The lights flicker on and The Fanatic is stood behind Takeo who smirks. The Fanatic stares at the back of Takeo's head, seething with fury....

TF: Your era, Takeo, will be a false dawn. The only darkness you will see is the darkness i chose to encase your career in....

Takeo turns round and the two men eyeball each other...

TF: You may be walking into tonights match as Champion, but the odds have never been more stacked against you. You may think the lengths you will go to are unfathomable, but they pale in comparison to where i will go and what i will do. The only choice in tonights match will be which one of you or the Blue Dragon i decide is worthy enough to stay in my company. Which one of you i decide i want to see suffer further at my hands when i walk out as the new Hardcore Champion...

The Fanatic leans in closer to Takeo...

TF: If i were you, i would run and hide. Take the defeat that is coming to you and sacrifice Blue Dragon to save yourself. There's no shame in running from what i will do to you, you're only human after all....

The Fanatic bursts into maniacal laughter as the lights again begin to flicker and the screen is again plunged into darkness. The lights return and The Fanatic has gone with Takeo looking round as we head back to ringside.

RJ: Ladies and gents, then next match has been one of the highlights of Born in Fire's of years gone by.......the match for the 6WF Hardcore Championship!

MW: I am pumped for thIs 'Arj. It has all the makings of a classic. A dominant champion. A returning hardcore legend. A behemoth of brutal tendencies. And.....one of them will walk out of here as hardcore champion....while another will walk straight out the door!

RJ: Yes indeed, let us be clear on this fact. Whoever receives the winning pinfall is to be fired from 6WF. Some point tonight, we will be waving goodbye to one of these men!

“Change(In the house of flies)” hits and the crowd descend into boos as a red light flicks on and off at the top of the stage until The Fanatic walks out. The giant of a man slowly makes his way down to the aisle before lifting himself on the apron and stepping over the top rope.

RJ: Fanatic had a big win against Solomon Riddick at the Supershow. Can he carry this momentum to hardcore glory?

MW: I think this next guy will have something to say about that!

'Freak on a Leash' hits and the crowd cheer as Blue Dragon steps out onto the stage. He stands taking in the admiration wearing his classic ring gear. His biker boots, jeans and signature leather jacket and the skulls adorning the shoulders looking as ferocious as ever. He looks pumped and ready for yet another Born in Fire Hardcore match. In his hand, he swings a baseball bat from side to side, as he makes his way down to the ring.

RJ: Blue Dragon was here last year taking on his brother Logan Kincade, for this exact same belt. He tasted failure and blood there. Whereas the blood doesn't bother him, he would not want history to repeat itself.

MW: The odds are stacked, although he did beat Takeo at the Supershow.

RJ: And here comes the hardcore champion.......just listen to this crowd!!!

“From Yesterday” hits and the crowd descend into loud boos as Lukas Takeo strides out onto the stage, his head bowed with a towel draped over it. He walks menacingly down to the ring, carrying the hardcore belt over his shoulder. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and stares up at his opponents, causing the towel to fall from his head. He then climbs the steps onto the ring apron before clambering over the top rope.

RJ: Takeo......menacing......can these two guys stop him?

The belt is handed to the referee, who then shows all 4 sides of the ring. He gives it to the timekeeper and then signals for the bell.

MW: HERE WE GO!

Takeo and Fanatic immediately go for each other with fierce blows. Blue Dragon comes up from behind Takeo and slams him across the back of the head with a baseball bat. Takeo goes down on one knee and Blue Dragon follows it up with a kick to the face. Fanatic then goes after Blue Dragon. He avoids one swing of the bat and manages to knock BD down with a clothesline. He tries a pin attempt but Dragon quickly moves out of the way. Fanatic goes for another clothesline but Blue Dragon slips behind him before slamming his opponents head onto a turnbuckle pad. As Fanatic staggers back, BD follows it up with a huge spear. He hooks the leg.

RJ: NOT ENOUGH

MW: NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS HIS BROTHERS!

Blue Dragon gets up, but is slammed on the back of the head with a double axe handle from the recovered Takeo. He spins him around and crashes him with continuous headbutts. Blue Dragon is dazed and Takeo lifts him up across his shoulders, ready to deliver a Samoan drop.

MW: TAKEO GOING FOR A QUICK FINISH.......

RJ: FANATIC!!!

Before Takeo can drop Blue Dragon, Fanatic hits the hardcore champion with a massive big boot. Takeo goes down and Blue Dragon falls from his shoulders. Fanatic goes up to BD and hauls him to his feet. He gets him into an armbar position, before wandering over to one of the corners. He then climbs to the top rope, still holding onto BD's arm, before walking across the rope.

RJ: FANATIC GOING OLD SCHOOL.......OH MY GOD!!!

MW: HOME RUN!!!!

As Fanatic is about to jump off the rope, Takeo comes up with BD's baseball bat and slams it against the knees of the dark destroyer. Fanatic immediately falls to the floor, and starts rolling around the ring clutching his legs. Takeo turns his attention to Blue Dragon and whips him to the ropes. When BD rebounds back, Takeo slams him round the face with his own bat. The force is so big, that BD collapses backward and falls over the top rope to the outside. Takeo smirks as the crowd boo loudly.

RJ: TAKEO SHOWING THE WORLD JUST WHAT IT TAKES TO BE HARDCORE CHAMPION!

Takeo rolls to the outside and then looks under the ring. The hardcore champion pulls out a table, turns around to RJ and Wire and stares at them evilly.

MW: WHAT IS GOING THROUGH THAT MAN'S MIND RIGHT NOW?!

Takeo grabs the table and sets it up in front of the commentators with Dragon still out after the vicious baseball bat swing. Takeo lifts his opponent up by his mohawk and slowly lifts him up onto the announcers table. He stares down at Dragon, just as he is about to come too, with a sadistic smile on his face. Then quickly, Takeo grabs one of the monitors and smashes it over Dragons head.

RJ: OH MY GOD!

MW: INSANE!

RJ: I HAVE A HORRID FEELING OF DEJA VU WIRE!

Takeo climbs up onto the announcers table alongside Dragon, before hauling him to his feet. Dragon's head is bleeding heavily as Takeo gets him into a powerbomb position. He stares at the table one last time, before hauling Dragon up onto his shoulders and holding him there.

RJ: LAST YEAR KINCADE RETAINED HIS HARDCORE BELT WITH THIS EXACT SAME MOVE!

MW: KINCADE SENT BLUE DRAGON ON A RIDE HE WOULD NEVER FORGET.....AND NOW TAKEO IS GOING TO DO THE SAME!

Takeo totters on the table before getting his footing. He yells out in anger and then powerbombs Blue Dragon straight through the table. The crowd look on stunned as Blue Dragon lies motionless on the floor. Takeo crawls over to his opponent and makes the cover.

RJ: NO! WHAT IN THE WORD!

The fans cheer loudly as Blue Dragon manages to get his shoulder up from the wreckage of the table. Takeo looks at the referee annoyed as he signals to the giant that Blue Dragon did indeed get his shoulder up in time.

RJ: HISTORY HASN'T REPEATED ITSELF! BUT BLUE DRAGON IS SERIOUSLY AT A DISADVANTAGE!

In the ring, Fanatic is struggling to get up. His knees continue to buckle and it is unusual to see his face etched in as much pain as this. He manages to crawl over to the ropes and use them to get himself to his feet. Meanwhile Takeo has left Blue Dragon recovering on the outside and is busy looking under the ring apron again. He comes out from underneath it and is holding a large piece of rolled up barbed wire in his hands.

RJ: THE PRODUCTION CREW GIVING THESE GUYS EVERY TOOL THEY NEED HERE!

Takeo goes over to Dragon and begins to rub the barbed wire across his face. Just as he does so however, Fanatic taps Takeo on his shoulder a few times from in the ring and beckons him to come in. The hardcore champion smirks before quickly reaching under the bottom rope and taking Fanatics feet out from under him. Fanatic falls to the floor heavily and soon begins holding his damaged knees. Takeo slowly gets into the ring and then begins setting the barbed wire up in one corner. Fanatic is still trying to get up and Blue Dragon is barely registering on the outside floor.

RJ: TAKEO HAS THIS WON SURELY! HE IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT STANDING!

Takeo makes his way over to Fanatic as the crowd start to get on their feet. Takeo signals to the crowd that it will be soon over as he drags his opponent across the ring. He sets him up alongside the barbed wire before aiding Fanatic to get to his feet.

RJ: HE ISN'T!

MW: HE IS! CHOKESLAM!!!!!!!

Takeo shows amazing strength as he lifts Fanatic clean off his feet and chokeslams him on the barbed wire. The referee covers his head and the crowd look shocked at the move they have just witnessed. Takeo half collapses onto Fanatic and makes the pin attempt.

MW: NOOOOOOOOOOO!

RJ: HOW?! HOW?! HOW?!

Takeo looks stunned as replays show Fanatic raising his shoulder, just like Blue Dragon did a few moments before. The hardcore champion can't believe it and a look of desperation etches his face. He starts to get to his feet. The barbed wire is crumpled under the bulk of Fanatic with only a few bits poking out. Takeo suddenly grabs one end and wraps it round his opponents neck. His eyes bulge as he chokes Fanatic with it.

MW: THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR!

RJ: WAIT......BLUE DRAGON!!!!

Suddenly from the other side of the ring, Blue Dragon has stumbled across the mat and heads toward Takeo with his fists raised. The hardcore champion releases the barbed wire and rushes to meet him with a big boot attempt but Dragon ducks underneath it. He turns his opponent around and boots him in the gut.

MW: DEATH NOTE!

RJ: THAT WILL DO IT! BD'S FINALLY GETTING HIS HANDS ON THAT HARDCORE BELT!

RJ: OH YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!

This time it is Dragon's turn to look stunned as Takeo manages to kick out of his finisher. The crowd look around at each other and Wire and RJ are noticeably quiet on commentary. Blue Dragon gets to his feet gingerly and stares around the ring. Seeing nothing of interest, he slides under the ropes and looks beneath the ring. He pulls out a ladder and another table and chucks them both into the ring. He then walks over to the crowd and unhinges a guard railing from its supports and rolls into the ring with it.

RJ: WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?!

Blue Dragon takes the railing and nails it hard across Takeo's chest. He does it again and again, slamming the hardcore champion in the ribs so that he is wheezing on the ground before chucking the barrier over the ropes. Blue Dragon then sets the ladder up and begins scaling it. He reaches the top and perches himself on the last step, while looking down at Takeo.

MW: BLUE DRAGON GOING TO TAKE TO THE............

RJ: FANATIC!!!

CROWD: HOLY SH*T!!!!! x10

As Blue Dragon is about to let fly, Fanatic has got to his feet. He sees Blue Dragon on the top and then shoulder barges the ladder. Blue Dragon falls forward over the top rope and lands in a heap on the outside. Fanatic is staggering about but manages to steady himself enough. He takes one end of the collapsed ladder and lifts it up. He then drops it hard across Takeo, trapping him underneath it. With Takeo prone, Fanatic sets up the table that Blue Dragon had chucked into the ring earlier. He then lifts the ladder off of Takeo, slamming it down on his chest one last time, before setting that up beside the table.

RJ: WHAT DOES FANATIC HAVE PLANNED HERE?!

Outside the ring, Blue Dragon has giddily got to his feet after the massive fall. He wanders off to the timekeeper and grabs the chair he was sitting on, before staggering around the outside. In the ring, Fanatic has lifted Takeo up and backs towards the ladder. He then slowly starts to climb half way up it while pulling Takeo closer towards him.

RJ: FANATIC TAKING A HUGE RISK HERE!

MW: OH MY GOD! THE POWER OF THE MAN!

RJ: CHOKE BOMB!!!!!

As Fanatic stands on the middle rungs of the ladder, he takes the dazed Takeo around the throat. In a swift motion, he manages to lift Takeo up by his neck before they both fall forward onto the table. The ring shakes with the impact and the table completely obliterates as 500lbs smashes through it. The referee peers through the wreckage and sees Fanatic still lying on top of Takeo. He quickly bends down and starts slapping the canvas.

MW: BLUE DRAGON!!!!

As the official is about to tap 3, Blue Dragon suddenly jumps from one of the turnbuckles, chair in hand, and lands on Fanatic. The count is broken as the referee rolls out of the way. With Fanatic now dazed, Blue Dragon sees his chance and falls onto Takeo.

RJ: BLUE DRAGON IS GOING TO STEAL IT!!!

RJ: UNBELIEVABLE!!

MW: WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE?!

Blue Dragon can't believe it as Takeo kicks out just in time. He gets up in a rage and reaches into his pants. He brings out a pair of studded gloves to a pop from the crowd. With Takeo and Fanatic both slowly getting to their feet, Blue Dragon stares at them with fury in his eyes. Fanatic is first up and Dragon goes towards him and nails him in the face with a punch. He then turns to Takeo and repeats the move. Blue Dragon goes left and right, as the two giants somehow stay standing, and delivers blow after blow to the faces of his opponents.

RJ: BD GOING NUTS HERE!

MW: HE IS GOING TO KILL THEM.......HANG ON!

RJ: ONE HAND.....TWO HANDS...... DOUBLE CHOKESLAM!!!!!!

As Blue Dragon pounds away, Takeo suddenly instinctively wraps one massive hand around Blue Dragons throat. Fanatic comes up alongside and does the same, before both of them lift Blue Dragon up and slam him to the canvas with authority. The two giants collapse on the fallen Blue Dragon and the referee looks on confused. He then regains his composure and starts to count.

MW: NO! THEY PUSHED EACH OTHER AWAY!!

As the official is about to count three, both Takeo and Fanatic push the other man away from the body of Blue Dragon, both men fearing that the other would get the pin. As the crowd look on, all three men are down and breathing heavily.

RJ: THIS MATCH HAS BEEN OFF THE CHARTS!

MW: AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS GOING TO WIN!

Fanatic and Takeo edge towards either side of the ring, their faces covered in blood after the studded glove blows from Blue Dragon. Both men use the ropes to heave themselves to their feet while Blue Dragon is using the still standing ladder for some leverage. When all three men are on their feet, they turn to face each other. Suddenly both Takeo and Fanatic rush towards Blue Dragon for two big boots. Blue Dragon slams the ladder onto the in-rushing Takeo but takes the full force of Fanatics massive boot. Blue Dragon rolls out to the outside and lies prone. The ladder is resting against one of the corner pads, with Takeo lying dazed on the floor.

MW: WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? IT NEEDS SOMETHING UNREAL!

RJ: WAIT! LOOK AT FANATIC!!

Fanatic sees Takeo on the mat and Blue Dragon on the outside. He suddenly kneels down and reaches under his shirt. He slowly retrieves something from inside it.

MW: WHAT'S THAT?!

RJ: NO! IT CAN'T BE!

MW: ELIMINATORS MASK!!!!

With the crowd cheering madly due to this show of history, Fanatic slowly places the mask on his face and gets to his feet. Takeo is gradually getting up with his back to Fanatic as the crowd carry on cheering. As he turns round to face his opponent, Fanatic suddenly spews out red liquid into the face of the hardcore champion. He then quickly boots him in the gut and lifts him up onto his shoulders before running towards the ladder.

RJ: TOTAL ELIMINATION!!!!!

Fanatic powerbombs Takeo against the ladder which falls forward with Takeo broken on top of it. Fanatic wearily pulls him onto the mat before ripping the Eliminator mask off and chucking it to the outside. He then covers the hardcore champion.

RJ: FANATIC WINS!!!!!

MW: WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM AN OLD FRIEND!!!!

Mike Bird: Ladies and gentlemen.....your winner......and NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION......FANATIC!!!!!!!

The referee hands the hardcore belt to Fanatic who lifts it into the air with a grimace on his face. He is clearly in pain as he trudges around the ring in celebration. Blue Dragon has rolled into the ring with a look of anguish. The two men lock tired eyes and Blue Dragon gets to his feet. The former hardcore champion looks at the new one and nods in his direction.

RJ: A show of respect there from two warriors in this epic battle.

MW: And who can forget the third man.....who used to hold the belt......and now fired from 6WF!

RJ: Lucas Takeo has been immense but it seems his time is over..........LOOK OUT!!!!

Suddenly there is a commotion from the crowd and a figure slides into the ring. Blue Dragon turns but is met with a massive clothesline that near takes his head off.

RJ: WHO IS THAT?!

MW: IT'S AUSTIN STEVENS! AUSTIN STEVENS IN 6WF!!!

Fanatic goes towards Stevens, but he dodges his big boot. He quickly lifts up the ladder on the floor and slams it straight over Fanatics head, splitting him wide open again. Fanatic falls to the floor while Stevens chucks the ladder to the side. He then screams "Motor City Massacre" as the crowd boos.

RJ: WHAT AN IMPACT THIS MAN HAS MADE! TWO LEGENDS! BOTH DOWN!

Austin Stevens walks over to the prone Fanatic and grabs the hardcore belt. He then slowly lifts it up into the air with one hand, before making an "M" sign with his other. The crowd continue to boo as Stevens smirks into the camera.

RJ: SO MANY TALKING POINTS AFTER A GREAT MATCH! THE END OF TAKEO.....THE NEW REIGN OF FANATIC!

MW: AND NOW......THE ARRIVAL OF ONE AUSTIN STEVENS! HARDCORE HAS JUST GONE SKY HIGH!

Austin holds his stare into the camera as the screen goes backstage.

Kayleigh Reed is shown backstage with James McManus....

KR: James, tonight could be an emotional night when you take on Finlay in his last ever match, is this going to be as big for you as it is for him?

JM: Of course it is. Any match at Born In Fire is a huge occasion, and when you get to face off against a legend like Finlay, it makes the experience even more memorable.

KR: You've built up a friendship with Finlay over the last few weeks, am i right in assuming that any friendship is left on the entrance ramp?

McManus smiles...

JM: I respect Finlay, it's guys like him that laid the foundations for people like me to make a name for themselves. But friendships have to be put aside when moments like this come along. If you had told me a couple of months ago i'd be walking into Born In Fire with the European Title i would've laughed. Infact, i probably would've snapped the person in half for mocking me. But i kept my head down and worked to get myself back where i was. I want to elevate this title back where it belongs. Bring some prestige to it. And that means tonight i have to do whatever it takes to keep this belt.

KR: I take it you and Finlay have discussed what could happen tonight?

JM: Yeah, Finners and i have been over it. We're both adamant we're both walking out as Champion. The greatest respect i can pay to Finlay is to go out there and give him everything i have. It would be disrespectful to go out there and let the occasion get the best of me, or to let my guard down and hand him the win as a token gesture. If Finlay beats me, then at least i can say i lost to a legend who put it all on the line to win. If i win, at least i can say i shared the stage with a true 6WF legend and had the honour of performing with him in his final match.

KR: If you do lose, where do you see yourself?

JM: I'll be putting my name straight in the hat to get the first shot at regaining my title.

KR: You don't think a Finlay win would see a u-turn?

McManus laughs....

JM: No, i'm pretty sure that whatever happens tonight, Finlay will be hanging up his boots for the last time. But stranger things have happened you know? Let's face it would any of us really be surprised if JJ Johnson walked back in the building? And Hero swore he'd never come back. The beauty of this business is that anything is possible.

KR: One final thing, James? You mentioned Hero there, and obviously tonight could spell the end of 6WF and the era of Re-Genesis, whats the feeling in the locker room as we approach the main event?

JM: I think everyone is just going to watch in anticipation. I guess for the purists it has the promise to be one of the greatest main events in history regardless of the outcome. For us guys in the back, i guess we won't truly know until that final bell is rung. Whether it's 6WF or whatever Alex Walker wants to call it, we'll stay here, and we'll do what we've done for the last 7 years, and that's to survive.

KR: Who are you routing for?

JM: I'm 6WF born and bred. I'll be cheering the Church on.

KR: Jaems, thanks for your time, it's been a pleasure. Good luck tonight.

JM: Thanks, Kayleigh. Enjoy the show.

McManus walks off as we head back to ringside.

RJ: Up next is a match that marks the end of an era...

MW: Depends how you look at it RJ, I see this match as the beginning of a new era, a better era.

RJ: How can you be so disrespectful Michael? Finlay is a cornerstone of this company, he has been here through the good times and the bad, this man is a true 6WF legend.

MW: What has he really achieved though RJ? Does his exit really merit this much fanfare? And why in his final match should he get a title shot? It’s ridiculous.

RJ: Well James McManus clearly doesn’t think so, and I agree with him.

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL and is for the 6WF EUROPEAN TITLE!

Introducing first the CHALLENGER, hailing from Belfast, Ireland and weighing in at 266lbs, competing in his FINAL EVER MATCH...FINLAYYYYYYYYYYY!

“Mad dog coll” blares out through the speakers and the crowd cheer as Finlay strides out onto the stage. He waves his long staff before strolling down the ramp, tagging the fans hands. He climbs up the steel steps and then through the middle rope into the ring. Finlay stands in the middle of the ring, looking almost overcome by the huge ovation he’s being given by the Wembley crowd.

RJ: This man sat next to me might not appreciate what Finlay has done in 6WF but these fans are letting him know just how much they appreciate all of his hard work.

MW: Finlay can’t let emotion overcome him, otherwise this match could finish very quickly.

Mike Bird: And now...he hails from Norwich, England and weighs in at 210lbs...the REIGNING AND DEFENDING 6WF EUROPEAN CHAMPION...JAMES MCMANUSSSS!

“Sad but true” hits and there is a mixed reaction as James McManus walks out onto the stage calmly. He glares down at Finlay, before slapping the title belt around his waist. McManus rolls into the ring, he leaps to his feet and holds the title above his head. Finlay stares across at McManus, the two men then exchange a respectful nod.

MW: McManus may end up being the villain of the piece here tonight but I’m sure he won’t mind that if it means walking away from Born In Fire with that title belt still around his waist.

RJ: It’s a high pressure first defence of this title for McManus, considering the support for the Finlay and that it’s happening on the biggest stage of them all.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

McManus and Finlay circle the ring, eventually advancing to the middle of the ring. They shake hands before locking up. Finlay quickly had McManus into a side headlock and even this is greeted by a loud cheer. McManus quickly counters with a belly to back suplex and the crowd. McManus quickly locks in a sleeper hold on the veteran.

Finlay fights slowly up to a vertical base, he then counters with a snapmare sending McManus into the canvas. Finlay wraps a stiff kick into the back of the European champion before running the ropes and hitting a neck snap. He makes the cover and the crowd cheer again.

RJ: These fans are definitely on Finlay’s side this evening, even the smallest move is getting loudly cheered by these fans.

MW: Sympathy vote.

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

RJ: McManus kicked out! How?!

MW: I don’t know RJ, fighting spirit from the champion!

McManus staggers to his feet, Finlay slings him over his shoulders and goes for the Celtic Cross.

RJ: This crowd is on tenterhooks, If Finaly hits this it’s all over!

MW: Elbows to the head! McManus is fighting his way out!

McManus manages to fight his way out, he kicks Finlay in the gut...

RJ: MK ULTRA II!

MW: That has got to finish it! Devastating move by McManus!

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

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman...the winner of this match by way of PINFALL AND STILLLLL 6WF EUROPEAN CHAMPION...JAMES MCMANUSSSSSSSS!

MW: McManus wins it! Thank god for that, it would have been an absolute travesty if Finlay had won the title this evening!

RJ: Shut up Michael, that display was worthy of winning the title tonight, in the end James McManus just had a bit too much tonight!

MW: This ushers in a new era for 6WF and this should be a great starting point for McManus to build from.

James McManus is handed the European Title by the referee, he holds it high above his head and the crowd begrudgingly applaud him. McManus then sees Finlay stirring, beating the canvas in frustration.

McManus strides towards him and he hauls up Finlay.

RJ: Don’t do it McManus, it’s his final moments in 6WF.

MW: One final message from McManus...

RJ: Oh what a display of sportsmanship from McManus! And these fans appreciate the gesture!

McManus shakes Finlay’s hand before handing him the European Title, Finlay holds it up as McManus raises his arm. Finlay nods in respect at McManus, before waving to the fans.

Crowd: THANK YOU FINLAY! THANK YOU FINLAY! THANK YOU FINLAY!

RJ: These fans showing their respect for a true 6WF legend!

Finlay and McManus stride up the stage, the crowd continuing to chant Finlay’s name. They reach the top of the stage, McManus leaves through the curtain but Finlay turns around, taking one final look out onto the 6WF fans. He then turns away and leaves the stage for the final time, a tear in his eye.

Alex Walker is walking through the backstage corridor, he approaches a locker room and taps on the door as a voice beckons him to enter. He enters the room and the camera spins round to show Kenji Hidari getting himself ready...

AW: Kenji, i've been looking for you....

KH: I've been in my locker room all night, you clearly not look very hard...

Walker doesn't take to kindly to the comment as he approaches...

AW: Are you alright, Kenji? For someone whose been handed a number of opportunities under me you don't seem overly welcoming, or grateful for that matter...

KH: Ah, so this is where it comes back on Hidari?

AW: Excuse me?

KH: I knew this day would come, Walker. You putting pressure on me because you gave me chance. What you forget, Walker is that I always took chances. Hidari always grateful for opportunity, but Hidari is nobody bitch. I not a Geoff Steel or a Cassius Zhi. I greatest Freeweight Champion in history of this company. You fawn over Kincade like he some sort of god. You shine Cass shoes if he ask you, but no love for Kenji? I stand up for Re-Genesis. I buy into your scheme and assist like asked, and what i get in return? You. Here. Questioning the great Hidari?

AW: Kenji, i simply came in to wish you good luck?

KH: Luck? You think Hidari need luck? You insult Hidari by coming in here and offering him luck? What next, you send Reilly in here with lucky heather?

AW: Hold on a minute...

KH: No you hold on a minute. Hidari remember old Walker from 6CW, he remember how you treat Hidari. How you held him back. Now you come and insult Hidari. Hidari will go out tonight and destroy Cameron Faith. He show everyone he true great of Re-Genesis. He show Faith up to be nothing more than peasant. He no fit to lace Hidari boots. And you, Walker. You will come to accept that Hidari is more than just a lackey to you. He is more than bit part player in Re-Genesis and you reward him. You show him respect he deserves.

Hidari thrusts his hands in the chest of Walker....

KH: Do you understand, Walker?

Walker backs off, putting his hands up....

AW: Listen, i just wanted to come by and be supportive. You're the first one out tonight and i have every confidence in you getting the ball rolling on what should be a successful night for us. If that came across as disrespectful then i apologise?

KH: Good. Now leave Hidari. I must get ready. No more interuptions!

Hidari gestures for Walker to leave.

AW: Do us proud, Kenji.

Walker turns and exits, his face turning red with anger as he exits the room and fade to black.

Max Adamson is shown preparing for his match with TGA, he is silent as he stretches out and psyches himself up. He is wearing his usual gold ring trunks, kneepads and boots, with an official "Born in Fire VII" t-shirt. Adamson is approached by Jack Reynolds who politely asks for an interview. Adamson takes a deep breath and nods. Jack and the cameraman walk into Adamson's Locker Room.

JR: Max Adamson, what is your mindset going into the biggest night on the calender, with a match against your longtime rival TGA with the prize a match for the TAW World Championship?

(Max takes a big sniff of the air)

Max: Do you smell that? Can you feel it? It's the smell of victory. I smell it Jack, I smell it. Nobody has a better record at Born In Fire than Max Adamson, but all of that is meaningless. Right now, the only thing that matters is that I defeat TGA in our match and continue towards claiming what is rightfully mine.

(Adamson closes his eyes)

Max: The World Heavyweight Championship. It's been a hell of a long time coming. And you can go back through the recent weeks and months, you can relive the moment when Chris Patricks died in that car crash. You can relive the days and weeks following when Max Adamson was the hardest hit of all. It made me sick when all the hypocrites in the Locker Room were shedding crocodile tears for a man they barely spoke to when he was alive. It's like the deceased are raised onto some sort of pedestal. Everyone hates Max Adamson at the moment, but knowing you lot, if I died tomorrow it'd be "Max Adamson died a hero". Chris Patricks died a fraud, deep down everyone knows it. But I'm the only bad guy here because I tell the truth. Ironic, isn't it?

JR: Some would say TGA is due to beat you due to what you've put him through.

Max: Then some would also be retarded Jack. What I've put TGA through? What about what he's put me through? He had no idea I wasn't being honest in the aftermath of Chris Patricks' death. As far as I'm concerned, TGA single handedly prevented me from winning the World Championship as a fitting tribute to my deceased friend. TGA hospitalised my girlfriend. TGA even went as far as to publicly speak out against what I was doing and who I was doing it for! So to anyone who thinks TGA is some sort of saviour, you can think again. TGA is a selfish, greedy individual and I will have great pleasure in beating the holy crap out of him while Joyce and the kids watch on from their Life Insurance funded house.

(Reynolds is a bit shocked as Adamson has a look of regret at that last comment)

Max: The bigger picture is becoming number one contender to the World Championship, but the fact I get to beat TGA makes it even sweeter. TGA is due a beating from me. Anyone who suggests otherwise is frankly a waste of space and completely beneath me.

JR: Where's Clarissa?

Max: I don't know Jack and right now, I don't care. Max Adamson has upset a lot of people along the way, my actions and truthful words about Chris Patricks have offended a lot of people including my darling Clarissa. But I am not in "Boyfriend Mode". I am in "Fight Mode". I am preparing for a fight at Born In Fire against a longtime rival and I'm not going to be as stupid as the likes of Uryu Ishida and Chris Patricks who brought their lovers into the lion's den then cried when they got bitten.

(Adamson sighs then continues)

Max: We all know why Joyce Patricks was so bitter and twister. Because she knows I'm right. She knows I'm right when I speak about Chris Patricks, because she experienced it first hand! She experienced it first hand when Chris neglected her having brought her into a 6WF ring when she was kidnapped by Chaos. The memories of the fans are so goldfish-esque. I bet no-one even remembers when I was Captain Australia!

JR: Captain who?

(Adamson glares at Reynolds who is genuine in his response)

Max: You know... Captain Australia? The Australian Superhero who was me under a mask? You know what? Never mind. The point is, people like Joyce Patricks must have selective memories. Joyce forget who stood alongside her when her husband flipped out. Joyce forgets who helped look after her kids when Chris was nowhere to be seen. Joyce forgets that the one person she could trust when her abusive neglectful husband was elsewhere, was Max Adamson.

(Adamson looks saddened as he carries on)

Max: It's too easy to forget. It's harder to show integrity and remember who was there during the dark days. So I used Chris' death to my advantage. Big deal. Chris used me being alive to his advantage. What's the difference? There is only one difference. I'm being honest about it.

JR: What about TGA though? You seem to be more focused on Joyce Patricks than on TGA.

Max: TGA has gone suspiciously quiet. He knows he lucked out when he discovered my plan to use Chris Patricks' death to propel myself to the World Title. He makes out as if he is this messiah. Teej, listen to me when I tell you. You have stood in my way for long enough. Just because I know Joyce Patricks and the rest of the fickle lot in and around 6WF want TGA to win, it won't make a difference. Even with ninety thousand screaming hypocrites inside Wembley Stadium, chanting "T-G-A" over and over and over again, it takes a special kind of human being to use that alleged disadvantage to his advantage. And I don't even have to mention how it's a full on Englishman versus Australian in front of an English crowd. It's a shame Born in Fire clashes with the Ashes beign secured in my hometown of Perth, but it's ok. I'll just have to make sure that a different Englishman squeals on this side of the world. Believe me Jack, I am 100% ready to walk out at Wembley Stadium, embrace the vitriol and hatred that will no doubt come my way, and walk out as the number one contender to the TAW World Championship.

(Adamson stands up and goes back to his pre-match stretching)

Max: And who knows, I might even hang around to see what happens between Mike Hill and Mr Kenty. But one step at a time eh...

Cameron Faith is walking backstage through the corridors when he's approached by Jack Reynolds...

JR: Cameron, can we grab a couple of words before you head out?

Faith stops and smiles...

CF: Cameron Faith, 6WF Freeweight Champion....

JR: Huh?

CF: I'm sorry, you asked for a couple of words?

Jack laughs nervously...

JR: Ohhh right, i see, good one....but seriously, you're about to head out to attempt to win the 6WF Freeweight Championship for the third time, are you confident?

CF: I'm confident, yes. Confident that once and for all Kenji is going to get what's coming to him, but i've gotta be honest and say that doesn't neccessarily mean i'll be walking out as Champion...

JR: You're referring to Re-Genesis interference?

CF: Well, it wouldn't exactly be a shock to anyone would it? That's how he got it in the first place, it's how the entire group won their respective titles. But i'm not bitter. I've come to terms with what it is and i'lll do what i can to bring that gold home...

JR: Are you saying you can beat Kenji easily providing theres no assistance for him?

CF: Look, I'm not underestimating Kenji here, I just see what everyone of you can see. Someone so scared shitless of what's going to happen they spend all their time hiding backstage clinging to the championship belt for dear life. Have you seen him around here? No. He's been holed up in his locker room because he doesn't want to accept what's going to happen to him. I warned him what was coming and tonight, I will deliver.

JR: Lastly, can we get your thoughts on the Main Event of the evening?

Cameron nods willingly....

CF: If I could choose any three people right now, it would probably be them. I don't know Hero, i don't know if he's trustworthy, but Marshall and Clarke know what they are doing. They know each other and they know what they're dealing with, Hero fits in with that. As for tonight, everyone is going to play their part. Born In Fire is going to be the downfall of Re-Genesis and while my victory won't decide who wins this it will be a sign of things to come for them.

Tonight 6WF will rise, 6WF will be successful and Re-Genesis will die.

JR: Thanks for your time and good luck.

CF: Cheers, Jack.

Faith walks off towards the entrance ramp as we head back to ringside.

Match 4
6WF Freeweight Championship
Kenji Hidari © v Cameron Faith

RJ: As we discussed earlier in the show, matches that take place at Born In Fire are usually the result of months worth of hatred, anger and disagreements.

MW: This match is one of those occasions, these two have been at each other’s throat for months, in a feud that has re-ignited the Freeweight Title division.

RJ: It was also another contributing factor to the on-going feud between Re-Genesis and the forces battling to save 6WF from Alex Walker.

MW: It’s 1-1 in terms of PPV wins heading into this match, this really will decide who the better man is!

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman the following match is scheduled for ONE FALL and is for the 6WF FREEWEIGHT TITLE!

Introducing first, the challenger... hailing from Glasgow, Scotland and weighing in at 220lbs... CAMERON FAIITTHHH!

‘I Fought the Law’ booms out of the speakers and the crowd give a massive cheer as Cameron Faith runs out onto the stage. He nods to the fans before sprinting down the ramp, he stops and motions a belt around his waist before sliding into the ring. Faith leaps to his feet and bounces off the ropes a couple of times before launching his T-Shirt into the crowd.

RJ: Faith lost his freeweight title last month at Destiny in an epic ladder match with his opponent tonight, a match that Hidari got to choose. This contest should play into Faith’s hands a bit more.

MW: It’s not like Kenji Hidari hasn’t beaten Faith in singles action before though is it?

RJ: No but the one time they met for the title in a conventional match, Faith defeated the Re-Genesis man.

Mike Bird: And now... Hailing from Fuuto, Japan and weighing in at 236lbs... the reigning and defending 6WF FREEWEIGHT CHAMPIONKENJI HIDARIIIIII!

‘The Essence’ screeches out of the speakers and the crowd boo, Kenji Hidari slowly walks out, he’s wearing a ReGenesis shirt. He ignores the booing crowd, as a sly smirk grows on his face. He walks down the ramp confidently and slides under the bottom rope. He removes his T-shirt and then taps the freeweight title wrapped around his waist before removing it and handing the belt to the referee.

MW: Hidari’s ego means he doesn’t take too kindly to being declared the lesser man, which no doubt means he will be going all out tonight to try and retain that title belt.

RJ: I wonder if we will be seeing any Re-Genesis involvement in this contest? Hidari tends to like to fight his own battles but Alex Walker will undoubtedly have his own ideas.

MW: Hidari won’t need them!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Faith quickly goes in for the lock-up, but Hidari counters with a kick to the stomach. Hidari quickly fires in a succession of roundhouse kicks into the right leg of Cameron Faith, before bouncing off the ropes going for a clothesline. Faith ducks under it, Hidari rebounds to the centre of the ring where Faith hits him with a snap powerslam.

The Freeweight Champion is placed into a leglock by Faith, but the Re-Genesis man counters by booting away at the head of Faith with the leg that is not in the submission hold. Faith is forced to release and he rolls back towards the ropes. Hidari gets to his feet, he waits for Faith to rise before going to throw him over the top rope. Faith manages to land on the apron, Hidari turns around and sees Faith stood on the apron.

He runs in towards his rival nd nails a low dropkick, Faith collapses forward and his neck falls down across the 2nd rope. Kenji springboards onto the apron before running along and hitting a big boot into the stomach. Kenji drags Faith’s body through the ropes and nails a spike DDT!
MW: Electric start to this match-up from Kenji Hidari, looking to take the game to Faith from the offset.

RJ: I didn’t expect anything less from this match, such is the rivalry between these two, they can’t approach this match with any calmness or rationality.

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

RJ: This is a fantastic start from Kenji Hidari, he’s not given Faith any opportunity to work his way into this match.

MW: Hidari doing a real champion’s job, dominating from the start of the contest.

The Freeweight Champion stands waiting for Cameron Faith to rise, he then sets up for a brainbuster only for Faith to block it. He then counters with a jawbreaker, which sends Hidari into the ropes. Faith whips his rival out across the ring and nails a leaping hurracanrana on the rebound.

RJ: Tremendous tactical wrestling from Hidari!

Hidari pulls back on the right shoulder, twisting it violently and applying even more pressure on the submission hold. Faith is wriggling around, trying to escape the hold.

MW: Faith finding it hard to escape!

Hidari twists the arm around again, pulling back and screaming at the referee to check on Faith, who is still not giving up. Hidari continues to pull on the arm but Faith is now showing some fight, he edges closer towards the ropes before placing his right leg across the bottom rope, the crowd go crazy for it!

RJ: Tremendous fight shown by Cameron Faith there!

*Faith rolls to his feet and clutches the Freeweight Title close to his chest.

RJ: Another Born in Fire success for Cameron, he’s building up a reputation as a man for the big occasion!

RJ: Folks, what an evening it's been so far. We've seen some epic matches so far....

MW: Epically brutal! I'm still recovering from that Hardcore match, not to mention the debut of Austin Stevens.

RJ: It was certainly a shocking moment in Born In Fire history, but speaking of history, this next match has plenty of that and more so. One of the rivalries of the year, Max Adamson and TGA, born out of tragedy, it's steamrolled to the point of no return, and tonight, an opportunity to lay it all to rest once and for all....

MW: It's certainly been shocking, 'Arj. The way Max has behaved has been deplorable, but underneath that, i can't say i've ever seen Max Adamson more focused, more determined to succeed than he has in the last few months.

RJ: I have to agree. We heard from him earlier tonight, and he seems hell bent on getting that TAW Title, and if that means going through TGA, sobeit. But folks, lets take you back and show you how this whole thing came about....

The screen cuts to a VT as sombre music begins to play.....

A moment of mourning.....

AW: Ladies and Gentleman, tonight, I stand here before you, not as Alex Walker the General Manager of Lockdown. I don’t stand here as the Leader of Re-Genesis. Tonight, I stand before you as a father. As a husband. And as a human being…

Miss Jessica tries to compose herself as the camera cuts to the roster. Max Adamson is red-faced as Clarissa stands by his side with Marshall Murdoch placing his arm around him…

AW: Last night at Explosion, the 6WF universe witnessed one of the greatest pay per views in this companies history. Every single member of this roster went out and did what they do best. Bodies were placed on the line. History was re-written and new chapters in our company began…

Walker pauses for a moment, his voice cracking with emotion…

AW: Sadly, one particular chapter in our company closed.

Crowd: THANK YOU, PATRICKS! THANKS YOU, PATRICKS! THANKS YOU, PATRICKS!

A friendship left devestated....

AW: Christopher wasn’t just a former World Champion. He wasn’t just a Tag Team Champion or a European Champion. Christopher was a friend. A brother. A father. And a hero to the people all over the world. He lit up this arena. He didn’t just steal shows, he stole the hearts of the fans and we will never forget the memories he has left us.

Tonight, at the request of his wife Joyce, 6WF won’t stop. 6WF won’t hide away and grieve in private. 6WF is going to do what 6WF does best. Tonight, 6WF is going to entertain. 6WF is going to raise the bar in tribute to our fallen comrade. Tonight, Lockdown is dedicated to the memory of Christopher Patricks…

The crowd burst into another huge round of applause. The camera pans round the arena showing a collection of signs….

‘WE LOVE YOU CHRIS’
‘YOU WERE MY ENIGMA’
‘YOU PUT THE JOY IN JOYCE, CHRIS’
‘I <3 CP’

AW: The bell will toll ten times for Chris. In breaking with tradition, I’m not going to ask for silence, or for constant applause. I’m going to ask you all to pay tribute however you see fit. Chant his name from the rooftops. Shed tears of sadness or clap until your hands get sore. Remember him just like we will…

Walker points towards the roster who are stood wearing ‘I <3 CP’ t-shirts which draws a huge pop as the lights begin to dim…
A picture of Chris Patricks clutching the 6WF Undisputed Title with his two children is shown as the bell begins to toll…

*Bong*
*Bong*
*Bong*
*Bong*
*Bong*
*Bong*
*Bong*
*Bong*
*Bong*
*Bong*

The crowd erupt into a roaring ‘One Chris Patricks’ chant as the roster, stage hands, road agents, Jessica, The Consultant and finally Alex Walker exit the arena to huge applause. The raise the roof again as Max Adamson comes out clutching a t-shirt. He lays it on the ramp and looks to the sky as Lockdown heads to commercial.

But in death, opportunity still presents itself.....an opportunity to pay tribute.....to say goodbye.......

Max throws TGA down to the mat with an arm drag, the former world champion rolls up to his feet and Adamson connects with a boot into the stomach. He hauls TGA into the air...

MW: ENIGMA BOMB!

RJ: Adamson trying to win it with Patricks’ own move!

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

RJ: SO CLOSE!

MW: What a tribute that would have been.

An opportunity...........stolen by the gods........

Hart rolls to his feet, he shoves Kenty in the chest. Kenty responds with a shove of his own, the two then descend into brawling, with haymakers being thrown all over the place. The two fight around the ring but Hart manages to nail a boot to the gut to stop Kenty’s momentum, he then starts choking Kenty on the top rope as Scorpion staggers up...

RJ: GORE! GORE! GORE!

Adamson is about to go into the cover when TGA drags him up from making the cover, he hits a boot into the stomach...

MW: ANGEL BOMB!

RJ: TGA GOING TO WIN IT!

A memory...........destroyed....

The camera focuses on the distraught face of Max Adamson as he's led to the back by TGA, Kenty and Marshall Murdoch as the screen freezes and fades to black.....

RJ: Ladies and Gents, words can't describe what this man must've been through in the last week. He lost his Freeweight Title at Explosion, and a few days later he lost his best friend in Chris Patricks.

MW: All eyes will be on Max and how he handles it. I don't think we've ever seen an emotional side to Max...

RJ: We've rarely seen a serious side, but Max wouldn't want to hide away, he'd want to pay tribute to his friend.

The camera changes to show Max talking to RJ....

Max: Even though it was only two weeks ago, I struggle to remember most of the match. I was running on pure adrenaline. Running on fumes. The last few days had taken so much out of me, mentally and physically. I felt, and still feel empty, you know? But I dragged myself out to that ring, I heard the cheers, the Chris Patricks chants. I knew I was in that match for a reason. Because now RJ, now I know what I have to do. Winning the World Championship was a personal goal, like it’s a personal goal for any 6WF Superstar. Any young lad watching this show dreams of being 6WF World Champion. Children in playgrounds play-fight over an imaginary TAW World Championship. But I can no longer win the World Championship for me. Oh no. I have to win the World Championship because now my little brother can no longer win another one, I have to step up to the plate. I now have to fight for me and for Chris. Max and Paddy are now reunited in my quest to win the World Championship. So I went into that match, and I did what I could while so emotionally drained. And I gave everything I had left to try and earn that TAW World Championship match…

(Max puts his head in his hands as RJ clears his throat)

RJ: I understand this is a very difficult time, but I have to ask, where do you go from here?

(Max doesn’t answer the question for a few seconds, instead rubbing his eyes before moving his hands away from his face and showing his red face and blotchy eyes)

Max: From here, everything I do is for my little brother. Chris Patricks, the Enigma. I feel like I let him down by not winning that six man match two weeks ago. It knocked the confidence right out of me. Had I won that match, I don’t know what frame of mind I would have been in. But I wouldn’t have bailed out of the match with Mr Kenty. I wouldn’t have been such a pussy in Chris’ eyes. Wrestling is in Chris’ blood. It’s in his soul. He would be so pissed off to think his best friend wasn’t wrestling because of him. And there’s only one man to blame for that.

Later that night.......

Max Adamson merely stands watching as Kenty rolls to his feet and runs in at Hart, attacking him but only momentarily as security stream out.

Half of them take care of Kenty and Hart, separating them whilst the other half of security sprint down the ramp, they slide into the ring and pull Murdoch and Hill away from each toher.

MW: It was just getting good as well!

TGA is up, he rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp to where Max is stood. TGA approaches him slowly, he asks what he was doing but Adamson doesn’t reply, just shrugs his shoulders. TGA again asks what Max was doing and just trying to talk to him as Clarissa looks on with a worried expression as Adamson glares back blankly at the former world champion.

Eventually Max Adamson turns around and walks away from TGA and past Clarissa, straight through the curtain and into the backstage.

RJ: Max Adamson is seriously disturbed at the moment, I really hope the good people in this company can help him out.

6WF Chaos, July

RJ: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! TGA HAS BEEN EJECTED FROM RINGSIDE!

MW: KENTY IS LEFT ON HIS OWN!

TGA reaches the top of the ramp, he turns back to look at the ring and shake his head at the referee again, when suddenly a gasp can be heard around the arena as Max Adamson walks out onto the stage. TGA looks puzzled at what the fans are reacting to as he then turns to face the backstage area...

RJ: GORE, GORE, GORE!!

Blame is laid...

Clips of Max Adamson attacking TGA and Kenty are shown, with Max talking about how TGA cost him the chance to pay tribute to his friend Chris Patricks before the announcement of the Time Attack match is shown....

Max Adamson sends shockwaves around the arena as he plummets right through TGA in the centre of the ring. At the same time, Mike Hill appears on the top rope and he launches off into the “next big move” and lands the 630 corkscrew on the unmoving Mr Kenty.

MW: This is insane….

Max pulls both of TGA’s legs up into the cover as Hill jumps in to cover Kenty…

MW: HE DID IT…..MY GOD HE DID IT…

The referee’s hand slams down to the mat for a third time just as the claxon sounds to bring the match to an end. Max Adamson’s face is a picture of pure ecstasy as he kneels over the unconscious form of TGA, his chest heaving in and out…

MW: I picked him, RJ….from the very beginning….and you didn’t believe me…

RJ: I never said I didn’t believe you……I knew Adamson had the tools, he always has, I just didn’t know if tonight was his night…

MW: FINALLY….FINALLY….

The camera zooms in on the ecstatic face of Max Adamson

Mike Bird: Ladies and gentlemen………………here is your winner………………………..and STILL TAW HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION……………MIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEE HIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

MW: WHAT?...........NO IT CAN’T BE….MAX HAD THE PIN….HE PINNED TGA…

One mans quest. One mans determination to pay tribute to a friend........is revealed to be something far more shocking.....

Max Adamson is stood looking at Joyce Patricks....

Max: I used his death to my advantage. Chris was my friend, but what did he ever do for me? I welcomed him into 6WF with open arms. I was his friend. I welcomed his family and treated them as my own. You know that better than anyone Joyce. Chris was my brother. But typical of the man, he was all take and no give. Chris did NOTHING for me. When he hit the big time, when Chris was gifted his 6WF Undisputed Championship reign, did he thank his best friend? Did he return the favour? Did he even acknowledge my significant role in his rise to the top? Did he fuck. Did, he, fuck.

(Adamson's voice raises as he continues)

Max: Chris was a selfish individual. It's not enough he was given opportunity after opportunity despite not being as good a wrestler as Max Adamson, it's not enough he was befriended and helped into 6WF by someone who was also an outlet for him to talk about the tragedies of losing his father and brother, no, he had to steal from his best and only fucking friend. Chris Patricks was a terrible friend. When he died, when I got over the initial shock, it got me thinking. It's about time. It's about time Chris returned the favour and offered me an opportunity. That's all Chris' death was to me in the long run. An opportunity. A chance for Max Adamson to achieve what has eluded him throughout his 6WF career.

The camera freezes as Joyce Patricks slaps Max Adamson across the face and the camera fades to black.

Jack Reynolds is stood with TGA who looks pumped....

JR: Teej, we just saw some of the key moments leading up to your match tonight, most of them focussing on the twisted mind of Max Adamson. Can you tell me, did you ever expect any of this?

TGA rubs the top of his head with his hand before looking up at Jack Reynolds....

TGA: Nope. Not even in my deepest, darkest nightmares did i think this is what Chris Patrick's death would be remembered for. I knew Chris fairly well, he was a pleasant guy, always willing to help people out, what happened to him was a tragedy. It's an eye opener. It makes you realise that regardless of what goes on in that ring, none of us are invincible. Life is too short to spend your days heeling bruises and broken bones. But in amongst all this, i never thought i'd become a target of hate.

Throughout all this, it's felt like i was the one driving the car into Chris that night.I feel like because of what Max was going through i was somehow responsible. I didn't intentionally cost Max anything, it was just shit luck, and you know, i sympathised with Max. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your best friend like that. I'd be devestated, i'd probably lash out as well. But i knew something was up. Max had gone from being this angry, dejected, depressed soul to this chirpy demeanour. Like every new opportunity at a title was making up for what had happened. That's why i called out Joyce....

JR: For the pick your poison match?

TGA: Yep. At some point Max had to face reality. When you look around this company, everyone had gotten on with their lives. There was no telling reminder of Chris or his death. It was just business. Max had almost buried what happened. Call it focus, or whatever, but he wasn't interested in what happened to Chris. It was all about how Max got what he wanted, and i knew that if he had to be open and honest about that fact to Joyce, he'd falter. He'd become exposed and then everyone would see this charade for what it was.

JR: Were you shocked by what happened?

TGA: Nope. To be honest, i knew what was coming. I'd convinced myself. I'd taken so much physical and mental abuse from Max that even if i'd been wrong i would still believe he wasn't doing this for anyone but himself.

JR: How does that make you feel going into tonights match?

TGA: Pretty pissed, Jack. Since that Lockdown after Explosion i've had to deal with this on a daily basis. Those thoughts going through my head, questioning what i'd done. Tonight i'm going to take all that pent up frustration on Max Adamson. I'm not just going to make him regret what he did to me, or to Joyce. I'm going to make him suffer for every single day he lived his life dining out on the death of Chris Patricks. I'm going to do it for me, the fans, Joyce and the rest of the Patrick's family.

TGA looks completely focused, cracking his knuckles.....

JR: Teej, good luck out there.

TGA nods and walks off as we head to ringside.

Match 5
TAW World Title N01 Contenders Match
Max Adamson vs TGA

RJ: Huge opportunity for both of these men up next here at Born In Fire!

MW: Born In Fire marks the end of the 6WF year, feuds are closed and it’s where a new order starts to become established.

RJ: That couldn’t be any truer tonight, with two world championship N01 contenders match this evening. The winners of these matches will elevate themselves to Main Event scene for the first Lockdown after this Pay Per View!

MW: If that wasn’t enough, there is clearly a lot of bad blood between these two men and at times it has threatened to spill over.

“Just close your eyes” roars out of the PA system, the fans rising to their feet with joy on their faces. TGA stands on the ramp and he soaks up the reception from the fans before making his way down toward the ring. He pulls himself up onto the apron and steps through the ropes, perspiration running down his head as he looks up at the lights. The crowd chant his name as TGA points to the Born In Fire sign.

RJ: TGA raised the bar in the psychological war-games between these two when he brought out Joyce Patricks to confront Max Adamson about his actions, with the Australian finally admitting his wrong-doings.

MW: It doesn’t really matter though RJ. This has nothing to do with Chris Patricks, god rest his soul, and I thought it was pretty distasteful that TGA felt the need to get his wife involved in the build-up to this match.

RJ: Max Adamson has been sullying the name of Patricks for months, he is the one who is being distasteful!

“Lonely Boy” plays out of the speakers, greeted by a negative reaction from the fans in attendance. TGA’s jaw tightens and he looks angry as Max Adamson walks out onto the stage. He is looking supremely focused as he makes his way down to the ramp, shouting “I should be champion.” Adamson smirks at his rival who glares back.

MW: Max Adamson has been the form competitor in 6WF over the past few months, he was literally mili-seconds away from being TAW World Champion going into this PPV.

RJ: That might be so Michael, but I find it hard to respect this man with the way he has gone about his actions.

MW: You gotta do what you gotta do!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

TGA goes in for the lock-up and Max Adamson takes up the challenge, only to poke TGA in the eye.

MW: That doesn’t count. Besides where is he now?

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

MW: Max Adamson wins! Max Adamson is the new N01 contender to the TAW World Title!

RJ: That man is an absolute disgrace, he makes me sick.


MW: He hit that move because he knew it would win him the match, no other reason for it RJ!

RJ: Don’t be so ignorant Michael, he was clearly doing it for reaction, for controversy.

Max Adamson gets to his feet, he has his hand raised by the referee but Max shoves him away. He rolls to the outside and brings in a Steel Chair.

RJ: He is taking it too far now! There is no need to do this!

Match 6
TAW Championship
Mr. Kenty vs. Mike Hill ©

RJ: Here we go folks, the first World title match of the evening and it promises to be an absolute classic! Mr. Kenty and Mike Hill have been crossing paths ever since Kenty’s debut in the company. Always one to stay true to the crowd who have backed him from the beginning, Kenty couldn’t be more removed than the cocky, arrogant, self-assured Mike Hill.

MW: There are many that are saying this is Kenty’s night, that after his Gold Rush victory it is only natural that he completes the ascension tonight – BUT Mike Hill will beg to differ, and you know what, I’m backing the champion! He’s a veteran, he’s been in these situations and he always comes out on top!

RJ: It remains to be seen, but it feels like these two have been destined to cross paths and here, tonight, at Born in Fire they’re going to do battle!
The ring announcer is stood in the middle of the ring.

RA: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the TAW CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Introducing first, the challenger!

‘Turn up the Trouble’ plays and the crowd explode as Mr Kenty bounds out onto the stage. He stops and breathes in the atmosphere, looking round and mouthing ‘wow’ before making his way towards the ring, slapping hands with people on the front row.

RJ: Have you ever seen anyone as infectiously popular as Mr. Kenty? A man who wears his heart on his sleeve, a man who is at one with this crowd and dedicates everything he does for them. And for that, they obviously love him dearly!

Kenty gets into the ring and shakes hands with ring announcer, before taking the microphone from him and climbing to the top of the turnbuckle…

Kenty:  For those of you that don’t know… I weight into tonight at 230 pounds, Hailing from Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom I am..MRRRR KEEEENNNNTTTTYYYYY…

The crowd pop as he hops down form the turnbuckle, going to hand the microphone back before he stops…

Kenty: KENTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

He grins as he waits for his opponent. ‘The Next Big Thing’ hits and a look of seriousness falls across his face.

The crowd are booing wholly, as the TAW Champion swaggers onto the stage. He locks his eyes onto Kenty, holding up the TAW belt, as fireworks go off above his head. Hill then begins to descend the ramp smirking.

MW: There’s just something about Mike Hill that I love, his whole aura is just amazing. He knows these fans are all behind Kenty, but he’ll play up to it. 
He’ll come out here and play the pantomime villain, he’ll look to crash the party… He’ll look to win!!

Hill gets into the ring and smirks at Kenty, who looks ready to go. The referee takes the title from Hill and holds it up, both men looking at it before looking to one another. Hill and Kenty front up and exchange words before Hill slaps Kenty…

Crowd: Ooooooooooooooo!

RJ: Cheap shot from Hill!

The bell rings.

MW: Woah!

Hill has no time to rest on his laurels as Kenty flies out of the blocks, charging him into the corner and drilling shoulder thrusts into the abdomen of the World Champion. The referee is fast to separate both men as Hill cries foul play. Kenty is being backed away by the referee but Hill is canny and thumbs the eye of Kenty as he is being backed away. Like a rabid dog, Hill is immediately on the attack, unfurling a barrage of left hands to drive Kenty back. Hill follows up with a knee to the mid section before hitting a bulldog.

RJ: Furious start here! 

Hill doesn’t hang around, quickly taking to Kenty and firing off more lefts and rights as Kenty tries to throw him off. The referee again separates both men as Kenty gets up, favouring his head as Hill grins open mouthed at his opponent.

MW: Kenty’s going to have to match Hill’s aggression here.

Both men lock up for the first time and there is nothing to separate them as they force eachother forwards and back, looking for a way to get ahead. Kenty smartly uses Hill’s momentum against him, forcing him round into a forward Russian leg sweep. Hill clutches his nose as Kenty transitions round into a front headlock, pulling Hill up and working into a Spike DDT. He makes a cover.

RJ: One……Tw – Hill kicks out! He’s not going to give up the gold like that!

MW: STANDARD Mike Hill kick out! Kenty must try harder!

Kenty grimaces for a second and pulls Hill to his feet, he goes for the grapple and Hill is equal to it, slapping Kenty’s arm away and kneeing him in the gut, following through with an inverted atomic drop, holding the posture and then hitting a spinning wheel kick. 

RJ: Momentum.

Hill looks down on Kenty and sets upon a flash bulb moment, hitting a standing shooting star press, making a cover of his own.

MW: GO ON MIKE!!

Ref: 1………..2..Kick out!

Hill stands again, willing Kenty to his feet, eventually, the challenger obliges, and Hill, as Kenty kneels flings to the mat with a hurricarana…

RJ: Kenty can’t afford to let Hill dominate him – Hill’s offense is one that will sap you of your energy!

Hill stands over Kenty as he tries to get up, emphasising the point by slapping Kenty round the face disrespectfully. The crowd boo the champion.

RJ: The crowd won’t like that.

Hill pulls Kenty up once more and whips him to the ropes, driving a knee into his gut again…

MW: Kenty won’t be so enthusiastic when he can’t catch his breath.

Hill follows this up with with a snapmare takedown, running the ropes and driving a boot into the face of Kenty putting him down. Hill taunts the crowd, before running the ropes and looking for a Lionsault. Kenty rolls out of the way. Hill recomposes himself and turns, dashing at Kenty…

RJ: WHAT A CLOTHESLINE!!

MW: He needed that!

Hill makes the dash but Kenty just launches himself at the champion, cleaning him out with an emphatic clothesline.
Both men are lay on their backs, Kenty in particular glad of the breather. They both get up, more or less at the same time. Immediately they begin to trade blows, the crowd cheering Kenty’s and booing Hill’s. This continues, each shot growing in intensity, Kenty starting to get the better of Hill. Kenty takes control successfully reeling off three punches in a row before hitting a neckbreaker. 

RJ: This match is like a pendulum! Swinging one way then another!

Kenty hooks the leg.

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

Mike Hill forces the shoulder up, his challenger drags him to his feet and then connects with a knee-lift facebuster. Hill stumbles back into the ropes, Kenty places Hill's legs onto the 2nd rope and then nails a spike DDT. He makes the cover.

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

Kenty drags Hill up to his feet, he lifts him onto his shoulders and goes for a rolling fireman's carry slam but Hill fights his way out of the hold, he quickly rolls up Kenty. 

MW: Trademark work from Mike Hill!

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

Kenty powers the shoulder up, both men rise to their feet simultaneously but Hill cuts Kenty off with a lifting knee into the stomach. Hill then runs off the ropes and takes Kenty down with a chopblock to the right knee. Hill then bounces off the ropes, nailing a shining wizard on Kenty. He hooks the leg.

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

RJ: These two are so close in terms of ability, it's incredible.

MW: Two fantastic athletes in action here.

Hill drags up Kenty, he goes for an Irish whip to the corner but Kenty reverses, pulling Hill in and then hitting him with an inverted backbreaker. He then hits a dropkick to the back, which sends Hill into the corner. Kenty runs in and knocks Hill down with a boot to the head, he then bounces off the ropes again and nails a running facewash kick. He hooks the leg.

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

Mr Kenty drags Mike Hill up to a vertical base, he whips him towards the ropes. Hill falls over the top rope and manages to land on the apron. Kenty runs in and Hill connects with a pele kick. Kenty staggers back, Hill springboards off the top rope...

RJ: Hill-a-can-rana!

MW: Mike Hill pulling out all the stops to try and keep that TAW title around his waist!

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

Kenty kicks out just in time and Hill shouts at the referee, before starting to attack the head of Kenty again with hard right hands. Hill finally is dragged off by the referee who cautions Hill, but Hill just looks at him with disgust as he turns back to Kenty and starts to stomp on him now to keep him grounded. Hill then slowly allows Kenty to get up to his feet, before Hill starts to hit some martial arts type kicks to the head of Kenty, who gets increasingly more dazed after each impact, before Hill runs in...

RJ: STANDING TORNADO DDT!

MW: Hill raising the pace!

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

RJ: Mike Hill getting closer and closer here!

Hill rolls to his feet, he stands waiting for Kenty to rise and then goes for the Over The Hill...

MW: Blocked, inverted suplex by Kenty!

Kenty drags up Hill, he locks in The Pass-Out but Mike Hill is the man who counters quickly this time, with a snapmare. Hill then nails a vicious kick to the back of the head. Hill then goes to the top rope...

MW: NEXT BIG MOVE!

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

RJ: So close for Hill!

MW: That was very close 'Arj!

Hill  then drags up Kenty, he slaps him across the face a couple of times.

RJ: MIC CHECK!

MW: KENTY'S OWN MOVE!

RJ: HE CAN'T WIN IT WITH THIS!

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

The crowd are on their feet applauding, cheering Kenty on as Hill is on his knees, looking at the referee almost incredulous that Kenty has kicked out!

RJ: LISTEN TO THESE FANS! JUST LISTEN TO THEM! HILL GAVE KENTY EVERYTHING IN HIS DAMN ARSENAL AND IT WASN’T ENOUGH… HE TRIED THE ROLL UP AND IT WASN’T ENOUGH… HE EVEN TRIED KENTY’S OWN DAMN FINISHER AND IT STILL WASN’T ENOUGH!! AMAZING HEART BY THE CHALLENGER!!

MW: I’m stunned… Hill nailed that Mic Check, he probably executed it better than Kenty ever has… Kenty was motionless; Hill was in the ascendancy… this match was over! How has Kenty done it?!

Wide eyed, Hill just looks at Kenty, who is almost motionless. Hill then looks to the turnbuckle…

RJ: Hill’s looking for emphasis!

MW: He’s gone for ‘The Next Big Move’ once already and failed; is this really worth the risk?!

Hill drags Kenty to the corner and lies him prone, stomping Kenty hard twice to prevent him stirring. He begins to climb to the top of the turnbuckle, and holds his position, breathing in and looking down on Kenty, flash bulbs going off all around him! Hill takes a deep breath... And leaps…

RJ: NEXT. BIG. MY GOD!!!

MW: Hill crashed and burned!!

Hill attempts the 630 corkscrew senton, completing the full revolutions picturesquely but at the dying last, as contact is to be made, Kenty instinctively pulls his knees up, driving them into the back of Hill who rebounds off rolling onto his front screaming out in agony, clutching the afflicted area.

RJ: The pendulum swings!!

Kenty for the first time in a while stirs, crawling towards Hill, he rolls him over and makes the cover…

RJ: COVER!! NEW CHAMPION!!!

Crowd: 1…………….2…………….

MW: HE IS THAT DAMN GOOD!

The crowd are euphoric for only a second as Hill drives his shoulder from the mat, seemingly at the last as Kenty rolls away, grimacing at how close he was. Both men slowly stir, Kenty pulling himself up via the ropes, as Hill gingerly gets to his feet, favouring his back.

RJ: These two men have shown that they’re warriors tonight! So many near falls, neither wants to lose! This is a Born in Fire classic!

MW: Nobody wants to lose on the big stage, nobody!

The two men advance on eachother and begin to trade tired blows, each rocking the other occasionally. Kenty begins to build up some momentum, piecing together a combination of lefts and rights that rock Hill backwards. The crowd roar on every blow that lands as Hills legs begin to buckle under the impact. Out of nowhere, however, Hill nicks a thumb to Kenty’s eye, and storms in with a clothesline… Kenty catches him.

RJ: MIC CHE…

Crowd: 1……………2…………….YEAHHHH!

RJ: KENTY KICKS OUT AGAIN!! AMAZING!

Kenty reels Hill in for the Mic Check, but the wily Hill engineers a roll up out of it, Kenty stunning the crowd again by kicking out of it. Hill’s eyes look fit to burst out of their sockets as he angrily pulls Kenty round to face him…

RJ: HILL’S GOING FOR THE MIC CHECK AGAIN!!
….
…
..
.
CROWD: ONE……………………………TWO………………………………….THREE!!!

RJ: MY GOD IT’S OVER…

……NEW CHAMPION!! KENTY HAS SCALED THE MOUNTAIN!!!

MW: Unbelievable!

Kenty is on his knees, incredulous as the crowd are all on their feet, ‘Turn up the Trouble’ playing loud over the speakers. He looks at the referee, seen asking him if it’s really happening.

RJ: WHAT A BATTLE!! MR. KENTY IS TAW CHAMPION AND THIS CROWD LOVE IT!!

The replays are being played around the arena as Hill sits himself up against the ropes, demoralised. The replay shows Hill setting up for another Mic Check. He holds the position for just a second too long and Kenty capitalises with an elbow to the temple, turning Hill around and hitting one himself, making the winning cover immediately after.

Back in the ring, there are tears in Kenty’s eyes as he is handed the TAW Championship, he looks at it shaking his head…

RJ: You better believe you’re holding that Kenty! That’s right kid you’re the champion, your dream has come true!!

Kenty stands up and finally holds the title up in the air and the crowd pop loudly as fireworks go off above him, he then climbs to the the top of the turnbuckle and holds the title aloft.

RJ: He wanted his Born in Fire moment and he’s got it! Mr Kenty: TAW Champion!

The final scene before the commercials is Kenty celebrating with members of the crowd on the front row.

The camera cuts to the backstage area where Keith Leone can be seen standing by, leaning against the wall. Leone is staring down at the floor for a few moments before he begins to speak.

Leone: Twelve months; twelve months of torture, twelve months of torment, twelve months of a hellish existence to just reach this one night. Most men would tell me that I was crazy for everything I’ve put my body through this year, I mean I’ve been through this all before, why do it again? Well that’s just the thing though; I can’t just lie down and let ReGenesis walk all over this company. I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to stop ReGenesis and Alex Walker taking full control, and I don’t care if it costs me ultimately. Alex, I have no doubt that at Born in Fire you’re going to do everything in your power to try and take me down, because you know deep down what a danger I am with that World Title around my waist. You have a battle for control come the end of the night and all of your marbles are resting on that one match, but you could have lost almost everything already if Kenty and I take those two World Titles from your boys. You have so much to lose at Born in Fire Alex, and I bet even now you can slowly feel the power slipping out of your grasp. All I can suggest for you to do Alex is make sure that you make the most of your final hours in charge of this company, as by the end of the night, you will never have the chance to run a place like this ever again, and I personally make sure of that.

Leone now looks up at the camera and dark rings can be seen around his eyes where he hasn’t slept properly.

Leone: But there is obviously a bigger opponent for me on Sunday, the new powerhouse of 6WF, Logan Kincade. In just a couple of months Logan we’ve put each other through so much, both mentally and physically. I fought you when I first showed up in 6WF again just after Born in Fire last year and you proved back then you had the potential to do so much, and now look at you, a 6WF World Champion. The problem you now face is that each action has an equal and opposite reaction, and to attain your ultimate goal you sold your very soul to the devil. Now I have to get involved to show you the error of your ways, and trust me when I say that as sick and twisted as the guys you’ve faced before are, you ain’t seen nothing yet. I’ve beaten your brother to a bloodied mess, I’ve taken out Crime Lord, every top guy you’ve faced I’ve faced before and taken them down so much more violently than you. You had so much potential in 6WF Logan, but now at Born in Fire you’re going to realise that the deal you made with Walker was one of the worst decisions of your life when I finally get my hands on you. See you out there kid.

Keith Leone puts his hood over his head and stares into the camera for a few more moments before walking away as the camera cuts away.

The camera goes backstage and we see Johnny Oko and Vortex walking towards the entrance ramp where they are met by the towering figure of Udo Berg and Visage. The crowd begin to chant for The Consultancy to the anger of Visage who steps in....

V: All you people are happy to follow these idiots because you feel that you should. You take no heed of our warnings and you choose not to see the obvious inadequacies in the, so called, Consultancy. You don't see their out of control ego, you don't hear the patronising tone in their voices and you don't realise that they are happy to coast on former glory and to live off the name of a man that they have long ceased to care about. You only see the 'funny men' and you smile and laugh and clap your hands like a trained animal.

...You people don't know what's good for you, you don't know what's good for 6wf. We are what's good for this company, we are the beast that will put this division back to where it should be. We will be the measure, to which others shall compare themselves, and they will be found wanting... Isn't that right my gigantic friend?

Udo snarls across at Vortex, pushing his way past Visage and staring Vortex in the eyes...

Udo: Ja meine friend, there iss a massive stain on thiss divission at present unt hiss name...iss Vortex. The very fact that you utn Mr Oko are even allowed to be in the same ring as ReGenesis astounds me. It iss yet more proof where it needed that the powers that be behind the scenes are not up to the task off running a company with the magnitude of 6WF. Mr Valker iss the only man capable of bringing uss out of the slump people like Danny McGraw unt The board off directors have put this vonce great company inn.

Udo stops and stares into Vortex's eye, the Consultancy man unflinching stares right back.

Udo: You are a disease Vortex, you unt your oriental friend haff infected this company for far too long. The waifs unt strays of 6WF seem to be handed opportunity after opportunity in the tag team division by Mr McGraw unt it iss time for it to STOP! It iss an outrage that this once sought after title is being competed for by the likes of you two... even more outrageous is the fact that Scorpion unt Mr Riddick hold our titles!

Udo: Meine goodt friend iss right. VE! Shall be the standard that all tag teams vil aspire to reach. Once we reclaim our titles at Born In Fire. Unt vonce ReGenesis shows it's total dominance... There iss no stopping uss! Not you... not him.... no one...

Vortex glares at Udo......

Vortex: You call me a disease?

He steps right up to Udo before carrying on speaking.

Vortex: That's probably been the truest words you have ever spoken since you got here. You are damn right I am a disease. A disease so devastating that it takes hold of those infected and brings them down to their knees. The once dominant become futile. The once strong become weak. The once successful become plagued with questions. You know this better than anyone Udo. Because it is you......and you alone....that the disease I carry now courses through your veins. Circling around your body and congregating on the main pressure point inside you. The place in your body where this disease can do the most damage. Right.......here......

He lifts his finger up and moves it within millimetres of Udo's forehead.

Vortex: You know what disease I am talking about Udo. Even if you won't admit it in front of all these people. Not even in front of your own tag team partner. And no way you would admit in front of me. But you know Udo.....you know the disease I am talking about. And you know the symptoms it brings. Symptoms that will only get worse the more you face me.

He lowers his voice, still staring up at Berg.

Vortex: Do you want to come clean yet Udo? Do you want to let it out? A problem shared is a problem halved. Or do you want to ignore the tell tale signs in the hope you can shake it off? That your fears aren't confirmed. That you're not infected.

He spits out the next words with venom.

Vortex: Well get used to it Udo. You are infected. The pox has taken hold of you and there is no let up now. At Born in Fire you will have to face it once more. The disease which I speak of? Its name is Rupture. And the symptoms? Self.......doubt!

Johnny smirks behind his partner and points his sword at Visage.

Vortex: You know now I have the power Udo. You know that even a man the size of you cannot escape the pain that Rupture delivers. I have lifted you up and then crashed you down. I have made you feel small......defenceless....and weak. The massive behemoth that you used to be, broken down.....piece by piece.....into a snivelling, pathetic and fragile being. You are no monster Udo. You have no power. The advantages you thought you had in build have simply been blown apart by the strength careering around my muscles. And in the end......it is not The Consultancy that is inadequate. It is you......a man whose heart is filled with uncertainty. A man whose breath stinks of fear. A man on the edge of collapse. On edge of yet another.......massive......Rupture!

The four men square up but are distracted as Solomon Riddick and Scorpion walk into shot. The four men turn, staring at the 6WF Tag Team Titles. They break out into a simultaneous smile before turning and staring back at each other to the annoyance of Scorpion as the camera fades to black.

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman...the following is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE 6WF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Mike Bird: Introducing the first challengers... weighing in at a combined weight of 547lbs...the team of Johnny Oko and Vortex...THE CONSULTANCY!


“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: Could this finally be the moment? Could these two’s quest to win the tag titles finally be complete on the biggest stage of them all?

MW: They couldn’t handle the pressure on smaller occasions, what makes you think they can do so tonight RJ?

RJ: I have confidence in them, and let’s face it, it’s been a good night for the “Team 6WF” so far.

Mike Bird: Introducing the second challengers... eighing in at a combined weight of 709 pounds………….representing Re-Genesis (Crowd boo) ... Uddddooo Berrg and Viiiissssaaagggggeee!

“Sonne” by Rammstein kicks in and the crowd starts booing,

Eins..
zwei..
drei..
vier..
fünf..
sechs..
sieben..
acht..
neun..
aus!

The guitars explode out of the arena speakers as the giant frame of Udo Berg steps out of onto the dry ice filled stage as the crowd descend into Boos. Berg stands at the top of the ramp staring his opponents down as “Crystal skull” blares out around the arena and Visage strides out, eyes wide glaring down at his two opponents. He slaps hands with Berg, the two storm to the ring. Berg climbs over the top rope to enter whilst Visage slides in.
MW: I’m still in a state of disbelief that these two ever lost these title belt. What a team they are!
RJ: Well they did Michael, last month at Destiny, and quite frankly they didn’t put up much of a fight in that elimination match, in my view.
MW: It’s a tough situation to go into as champion, this is a lot easier.
Mike Bird: And finally... at a combined weight of 525lbs... the reigning and defending 6WF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS... the team of Solomon Riddick and Scorpion...THE RESISTANCE!

The camera pans back to the top of the stage as all the lights go down and a haze descends upon the arena. Then a large strike of white lightning flashes on the stage and the entranceway lights up as “Always” hits and a hooded figure walks out onto the stage. Solomon Riddick removes his hooded robe before walking down the centre of the ramp. He strides to the middle of the ring, holds his arms up as pyro’s go off at the top of the stage.

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. He rolls to his feet and Riddick shakes his hand firmly. Both men then hold their titles high above their heads.

RJ: This is one hell of a team Michael, though quite why Solomon Riddick is happy just to do Scorpion’s dirty work is beyond me.

MW: Scorpion brought Riddick back into this company when no-one else would give him a chance, that’s why.

RJ: I think he’s more than repaid that faith though Michael!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

The match starts off with a member from each team in the ring. Vortex starts off for his side, Solomon Riddick for the Resistance and Visage for Re-Genesis. Vortex knows the odds are against him but that doesn’t stop The Consultancy man from rushing in, he takes down Visage with a big elbow smash. Visage rolls to his feet, Vortex lifts him into the air and delivers a scoop slam to the Re-Genesis man.

Riddick then attacks Vortex with a double axe handle to the back of the head, taking him down to the canvas. Solomon then bounces off the ropes as Vortex rises, he then connects with a scissors kick.

RJ: That was always going to be a tough way to start the match for Vortex.

Scorpion gets to his feet and doesn’t go on the offensive straight away, instead he walks towards Berg and mocks him.

MW: No, don’t do it guys!

RJ: The Resistance is breaking down quickly here!

MW: Riddick isn’t happy with Scorpion!

Scorpion is berating Riddick, ordering him to tag but Riddick just shakes his head. Scorpion then slaps him hard across the face, Riddick’s jolts back slightly before turning back towards Scorpion and staring him down.

RJ: Bad move Scorpion, very bad move!

Immediately the former Hardcore Champion knows what he has done, he is holding his hands up apologetically but it is too late, Riddick clutches him by the throat and then throws him out over the top rope. Riddick dives off the apron, taking Scorpion down with a flying clothesline.
He then picks him up and throws him hard into the steel steps. Riddick continues the offence, picking up the steps and dropping them across the abdomen of Scorpion. Riddick hauls up Scorpion and throws him into the steel ringpost.

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman...the winners of this match by way of PINFALL and NEEEEEEEWWWWW 6WF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...THE TEAM OF VORTEXXXXX AND JOHHHNNNYYYY OKOOOOOOO....THE CONSULTANCY!

The crowd erupt as Vortex leaps up from the floor as the three count is made, he raises his arms in celebration and then turns towards Oko. His tag team partner jumps up into his arms and the two hug in the middle of the ring. The referee is passed the tag titles, he hands them to The Consultancy. Both men look down at the belts, still in shock.

RJ: It’s finally happened! The Consultancy finally sit on top of the tag team division!

MW: Took them long enough...

RJ: Shut up Michael! They’ve been screwed out of these belts so many times, but finally they have what is rightfully there’s.

MW: I have to admit, that was an amazing performance from them this evening. And that frog splash, my god.

RJ: That is what you call a Born In Fire Moment!

Crime Lord and Lex Hart are stood backstage with Kayleigh Reed....

KR: I'm joined at this time by the two men who will shortly compete for a shot at the 6WF World Title, Lex Hart and Crime Lord, both former 6WF World Champions. Gentleman, it promises to be an intriguing match, but which one of you do you feel has the upper hand?

Crime Lord goes to speak but Lex interupts as the crowd begin to chant...

Crowd: YOU BOTH SUCK! YOU BOTH SUCK! YOU BOTH SUCK! YOU BOTH SUCK!

LH: Oh no we don't.....

Crowd: OH YES YOU DO!

LH: I know we are approaching pantomime season but when I want your opinion I will damn well ask for it, so why don't you all sit your fat asses down, shut the hell up and listen cos you might just learn something.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

LH: As fun as this is, I did not come out here to speak to you....Shooting fish in a barrel is not my style.........I'd much rather poke a bear with a stick...

Lex turns and flashes a grin at Crime Lord who snatches the mic from his hand....

CL: It's disappointing how predictable you are, how mouthy you are. I'd love to see this confidence backed up, I'd love to see you prove me wrong and live up to the superhuman you think you are. Lex, wake up. Surely you'e been in 6WF long enough now to realise it's not like 6CW, you can't run your mouth off and get away with it, your toughest opponents aren't going to be a walk in a park, you're in the big leagues, you're in a place where you're punished when you go off on one and insult the wrong people.

I was the very last person you wanted to insult Lex. The very last.

Crime Lord stands and stares at Lex for a moment....

CL: You chose this fight Lex, you chose this battle, you chose to put your health, your career on the line by picking out me. I am not your everyday wrestler, I'm more than just a showman, more than a fighter or an athlete. I am the whole package, I am stronger, faster, smarter...better in every way than you, better in every way than anybody in this company and I will prove that at Born in Fire, biggest stage of them all and I'm going to show the world that I shouldn't be wasting my time with you Lex, I should be world champion, main event, headlining the whole goddamn show. I am 6WF's Legend! Not one man, not one person has ever or will ever come close to my accomplishments. They are unbelievable and you Lex on the other hand are a disappointment, a let-down...an underachiever. You will live up to that again.

Lex shakes his head disparragingly at Crime Lord, snatching the microphone....

LH: I am not a nobody!

Crime Lord smirks dismissively at this outburst but Lex continues...

LH: I am a man who has brought fear not to one company but an entire industry, you talk of your legend, mine is a story told to invoke fear. You may stand there at arms length dismissing me but I know deep down you are fully aware of what I can do.

I know who you are.

I know what you bring to the fight.

Underestimate me at your peril Crime Lord, dream teary eyed of some match that is meant to be, that is written in the stars but you know full well that's not how these things play out It's all about desire. About how much you want it.The question you need to ask yourself is does that fire still burn in you as strong as days gone by? Does your legend still remain or are you just an artefact destined to be consigned to 6WF history like The Saint?

Crime Lord snatches the mic back, going nose to nose with Hart and snarling....

CL: The fear you bring Lex is not one of your competition of your wresting skills, no wrestler is afraid of you. The business men behind the scenes are afraid of you, the guys in charge of the rules are afraid of you, the interviewers are afraid of you. There's nothing you bring to wrestling that invokes fear in any other wrestlers. You're not the man you think you are Lex, you're not the legend you think you are. Rejected by 6CW, unwelcome in 6WF...that is the legacy you bring to wrestling Lex.

Crime Lord laughs as he backs away from Lex...

CL: Your story does not invoke fear in me Hart, it invokes pity, disappointment, boredom. I'm not afraid of you or your delusions of grandeur. I have seen your career, watched you everywhere you've been and everything you've done and despite all your attempts, all your words, all the video packages, the declarations of greatness...you're still the same runt, the same wannabe, the same boring, repetitive, predictable Lex Hart. You fail to adapt, fail to change and that's why you've already hit your peak. That's why you'll never climb the mountain again, you have to resign yourself to where you are...nowhere. You have to resign yourself to being the man you are...a nobody. And you will have to get ready for what I will bring...destruction!

Crime Lord leans forward, smiling as he speaks softly....

CL: While your legacy is nothing, mine is THE legacy. I am 6WF's undisputed greatest. I am a four time Hardcore Champion, Tag Team Champion, Fight for the Right winner...three time World Champion, I have won Trashies, I have won the biggest matches possible, I have main evented Born in Fire, beaten the best, and I have done this now for years. I have done it non-stop. The discussion of 6WF's greatest is moot, Crime Lord has done it all, he's done it all more than once and he will do it all again because there is simply nobody better, nobody worth as much as me. You are certainly not even close.

My legacy is one of destruction, of demolition, of success. The fear I bring is fear for my opponents, because they know what I am capable of, they know that I can beat them, know that I can leave them with nothing. That is exceptional. You are ordinary. You're no Rasta, but you're no Crime Lord. You're not championship material and you never will be, you never were. Your greatest legacies are on the back of better guys, Genesis, Perfect Execution...they weren't you, they were Michael Sweetwater, Alex Walker, Mr. Perfect, Abe Abercorn...you're the other guy...you'll never be the man. I will make sure of that at tonight.

Don't question my desire Lex, I have climbed the ladder to the top again and again and every time people underestimate just what lengths I will go to be the champion, just what lengths I push myself to be better than before. This is another of those times and Lex, once I get going...I just can't be stopped, not by you, not by Kincade and not by Leone. I am in full flow and the fire in me...it's BURNING UP!

I am going to BEAT YOU...BREAK YOU...CRUSH YOU...are you ready for that Lex? Are you ready FOR THAT?!

Crime Lord slams the microphone into the chest of Lex Hart and smiles before walking off. Lex stands for a moment, fury filling his face as Crime Lord disappears off.

Logan Kincade is shown backstage, looking angry as he paces round in circles before staring at the camera….

LK: At the Supershow.....

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Logan shuts his eyes and scowls as he turns his head and inhales deeply before he composes himself and continues.

LK: AT!......The Supershow, I made it clear to Keith Leone and to everyone else in this company, Things....are going...to change...around here.

Crowd: WHAT!?

LK: Things will change in a very big way, see, I'm not talking about a title change... or a regime change or a re-branding no....no no...

...CHANGE! Ladies and Gentlemen is exactly what this place needs. You can't help but notice this place has problems, and the PROBLEMS! Are everywhere kids.

Logan starts to wander around aimlessly.

LK: This company has a sickness that is spreading rapidly. It is sick. Lame, and the only decent thing to do, the RIGHT...thing to do. Is to put it DOOOOOOOOWN!!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOO!

LK: You fucking sheep come week in and week out and give the company false hope, "well the viewing figures are good and the shows sell out, we must in good shape" "The merchandise is selling worldwide, 6WF trends on twitter and MySpace and YouTube and vine and blah blah BLAH BLAH!!!" you people! YOU! You are the ones keeping 6WF living in misery, can't you see the company, the fed...it is in PAIN!

Logan is breathing heavily as he takes a moment...

LK: ...and I...


..am the painkiller. I am the master... I can put this company down like the old dog it truly is, and start a fresh, a new dawn for a company which was once so great... and now may as well be an indie fed.

Logan looks down the camera….

LK: People have been questioning me... in recent days. haha...me!..... Saying, what was Logan thinking! Leaving Re-Genesis to fight the Church by themselves.... Well, is it not obvious? That fight is Alex Walker's fight. I told you all he hates 6WF, and The Church are the only haha... "team" out there willing to fight for Danny McGraw and the old dog that is 6WF as we know it today....

The way I see it, they can fight over... god knows what, all they want, until they are blue in the face for all I am concerned... The only thing that matters is who holds the gold. The title brings with it the power to change, that is McGraw's real objective in all this. He, like Walker, are masters of manipulating the weak, and the stupid. He knows that if they remove Re-Genesis they have a clear path to line up any number of their little clan for a world title shot, maybe take one of em under his wing, with promises of fame, fortune... And one of those brainless gobshites will no doubt believe it.

Then they will no doubt get a title shot with some stipulation attached to it. Maybe a couple of em. Make it a nice triple threat... tip the balance in their favour and who knows. Maybe even find a way to take this title off of me... haha I know, unlikely BUT... No matter HOW unlikely that it, I feel that this is Danny's ultimate goal.

NOW. This all is what I believe to be McGraw's "plan B" so to speak, because, and I do feel this is the case, Danny McGraw... is banking on Keith Leone being able to beat me at Born In Fire.

Crowd: YEAAAAAAAH! LEONE! LEONE! LEONE!

LK: Yes, very good, well done. Fact is sheeple, McGraw hopes Keith can bring the gold home and then he will no doubt drop the Church like it's hot. He doesn't care about them! Why would he? It's ridiculous. All he cares about is gaining a level of control, the same level he used to have before Alex did the exact same thing for himself. See folks it is a never ending roundabout, a wheel within a wheel. It never ends.....UNLESS... Someone takes it upon them self to END IT!..

Ladies and gentlemen that someone...is me.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOO

LK: So, Keith Leone, Keithy boy, you have all of Danny McGraw's hopes and dreams on your shoulders, I hope they are as broad and as strong as we are led to believe.

Logan smirks as the crowds booing reaches deafening levels..

LK: Or this disappointment may be the thing to finally put that old fucking tit out of his misery... hahahahahahahahaha

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Logan laughs down the camera lens before pushing it over and heading off through the corridor.

Match 8
Number One Contenders Match for the 6WF World Championship
Lex Hart v Crime Lord

RJ: Some of the clashes we see in 6WF are quite surprising, battles between wrestlers who you’d think would get along. This match doesn’t fall into that category, in fact I’m surprised it’s taken so long for these two to be at each other’s throats.

MW: I’m sure there is a lot of mutual respect between both of these men RJ, they just both want to be at the very top of this company.

RJ: I don’t think these two respect anyone, let alone each other Michael. They’re the very definition of egotistical.

MW: You can have an ego when you are this good, both of them are former 6WF world champions RJ, they belong at the top of this federation.

RJ: Well they will be presented with that opportunity tonight, as the winner of this match will become N01 contender to the 6WF world title, being next in line to face either Logan Kincade or Keith Leone, which is our next match-up.

“Rain Wizard” echoes out to deafening boos. Crime Lord strides out the stage, clearly meaning business. He paces down the rampway, ignoring the fans boos before climbing up the steel steps and then clambering into the ring over the top rope.

RJ: This time last year, Crime Lord was coming off the longest reign as 6WF champion in this company’s history, now he wants to propel himself back towards that world title scene.

MW: That’s not to say Crime Lord has had a poor year, he defeated the most dominant Hardcore champion in this company’s history, Logan Kincade, and a rematch between these two would be great to see.

RJ: But first he has to come through this very tough test he has tonight.

“Be myself” screams out and the cheers quickly turn to boos. Lex Hart saunters out onto the stage, wearing his “It’s all about me” t-shirt. Hart walks confidently down to the ring, he smirks at the booing fans before climbing onto the ring apron and springboarding into the ring. He and Crimey stare-down before Hart motions a title belt around his waist.

MW: As I mentioned, Lex Hart is a former 6WF world champion but it’s been a long time since he was afforded an opportunity at that championship.

RJ: Undoubtedly one of the most naturally gifted competitors to ever grace this federation, it’s Hart attitude and all about me demeanor that doesn’t endear him to anyone.

MW: You don’t need to be liked to be great, and Hart is great.

RJ: And he certainly isn’t liked Michael.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Crime Lord goes to the centre of the ring for the lock-up, Hart steps forward only to then retreat away from Crimey, grinning. Hart teases a 2nd lock before again retreating.

He then throws Hart into the corner, before pummelling away at the gut of his rival with a flurry of huge body punches.

RJ: Leg drop!

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

Crime Lord forces the shoulder up off the mat. Lex Hart again goes on the attack with stomps into the head, with Crime Lord rolling back towards the corner.

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

RJ: What is he doing?

MW: He’s getting a chair!

RJ: No, this match can’t end like this!

MW: Anything to get it done RJ!

Hart stands waiting for Crime Lord to rise, but instead of hitting him with the chair he throws it into the hands of Crime Lord, who catches the chair. Hart then dramatically collapses into the mat, clutching his head. Crime Lord stands watching confused, the chair still in his hands, as the ref rises to his feet.

MW: THIS IS BRILLIANT! THIS IS BRILLIANT!

RJ: HART TAKING A LEAF OUT OF THE BOOK OF THE LATE, GREAT EDDIE GUERRERO.

MW: It’s amazing, what a great tactic!

RJ: A disgusting way to win. But a genius one all the same.

The referee is looking at Crime Lord, who is desperately trying to plead his innocence with the ref but he is having none of it. He strides towards the ropes to signal for a disqualification but out of the corner of his eye, he sees Hart smirking and starting to sit up.

MW: LOCK N LOAD! LOCK N LOAD!

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

Ding, Ding, Ding!

RJ: CRIME LORD WINS IT! CRIME LORD WINS IT!

MW: THE NEW NUMBER 1 CONTENDER TO THE 6WF WORLD TITLE!

RJ: I can’t wait to see him face either Logan Kincade or Keith Leone, what a match that will be!

MW: Lex Hart threw everything at Crime Lord but he just couldn’t get the job done.

Geoff Steel is talking backstage with Jack Reynolds...

JR: I'm joined at this time by Re-Genesis' own Geoff Steel, who tonight will look to lead his team to victory and claim 6WF from Danny McGraw. Geoff, given how determined Alex Walker has been to take control of this place, can you tell us how it feels to be walking out there tonight?

GS: Born in Fire, how fitting that, on 6WF grandest day, that that will be the day when the future of this company is decided, the day when Re-Genesis take full control of this company , the day when my brother and I succeed in our quest, a quest that started months ago and has shown no signs of being halted. We took this company from a falling name and made it relevant once more, without Re-Genesis I doubt we would have even had a Born in Fire this year, what we have done and what we are going to do is for and always has been for the good of this company. But of course you people are so dumb you can’t even recognise that, no you choose to cheer for the men who would run this company into the ground, then who would you cheer for? Danny McGraw is not the answer to this problem he’s a sorry individual who’s angry because, we’ve come along and took 6WF to levels McGraw never managed, we’ve reached out to audiences around the globe pulling in figures double that of anything he ever managed, Danny McGraw is nothing but a jealous man out to get something he knew he could never have, yet this is the man you back, it is Mr Walker who deserves your respect yet at every turn you take your chance to belittle him, you celebrate his agony, too deluded to realise that he is the man that saved us all, without Alex you would all be at home with your TV dinners tuning in to an inferior product, I just think that it’s about time you show some gratitude.

Crowd: YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!

JR: At the end of the Lockdown Supershow you came face to face with a man who was last seen tormenting you, do you want to give us your thoughts on that?

GS: Ah, Hero version 42, the man who just never knows when to call it a day. Really was anybody out there thinking a week ago that the thing that this place needed was another pointless return by the man who likes the own sound of his name so much, that even he himself believed him to be some kind of deity that needed to be worshiped. Are we all going to continue with this charade every single year like were stuck in some twisted time warp that nobody wants to be a part of. I suppose your saving grace this time Hero is that these people finally get to see me rip you to shreds, you were quick to leave the last time that was on the cards Hero, I haven’t forgotten about you, what you did, what you cost me and then to run and hide, did it take you this long Hero to find your balls, it won’t take me half as long to ensure you never find them again. On a level though Hero is suppose I owe you a debt of gratitude, because without you I doubt I would be in the position I am today, you lit a spark in me, a spark that was fed up of being screwed by guys of the like of you, guys not fit to lace my boots, you made me realise that if I want something I only need to reach and simply take it, that instead of biding my time to simply act in the moment to do what’s right by me, why play by the rules is nobody else does, so once more I thank you Hero for pretty much sealing your own fate at Born in Fire. Oh but how can I forget Hero you won’t be alone out there at Born in Fire no you will share your hurt with two of your most loyal followers, the dynamic duo themselves Marshall Murdoch and Clarke James, two men who have tried time and time again to thwart Re-Genesis only to fail time and time again. It’s really becoming beyond joke now, is this really your latest scheme reform a lame ass version of the Church is that really what it has come to, we’ve shown these last few months that the Church is so inferior to Re-Genesis in every way, I don’t know what type of ritual it involved to summon Hero from whatever rock he was hiding under but it will all be in vain...

JR: Judging from your tone you're pretty dismissive of the chances of the Church of Hero?

GS: You only have to look at the two teams on paper and the winner is a no brainer, we are better then you both as individuals and as a collective, If this is what McGraw thinks is his best option how I pity him. At Born in Fire we start a new era of 6WF an era not of Danny McGraw or of the Church but an era simply defined by one word Re-Genesis...

Clarke James bursts into shot to the delight of the crowd and the dismay of Steel...

CJ: Do you honestly believe, Geoff, that Re-Genesis is, or was, as it will come to be, far superior to the Church? Do you actually believe that somehow you're different? Take a closer look, Geoff. The Church started out with the exact MO that Re-Genesis has. We wanted to tear 6WF apart. We wanted everything. Titles, power, the whole damn bag. We would've stopped at nothing to get it. On Hero's word we became the most dominant power in this business.

Hero was an Undisputed Champion. Marshall and I lit a fire under the Tag Team division and set a whole new benchmark for what teams needed to acheive to get to that point. And we didn't just run around kicking the crap out of people. We inspired them. We became an attractive proposition. We propelled people to new levels. We took Crime Lord; a man stuck in the mid card, living off his old legacy and turned him into the man walking the halls today. We took Rapture and turned him into one of the greatest Freeweight Champions in history. Marshall and I raised the bar for European Champions. Have Re-Genesis done that?

Steel goes to answer but is cut off...

CJ: No, Geoff. No they haven't. What you've done, is cheated and stole your way to where you are. You've got nothing more than a paper champion, following on from the previous paper champion before him. Cassius, Logan, neither of them are on the level Hero was. They don't strike fear into people because of their competitive nature or the natural prowess, they intimidate in numbers. People know that when you face them, you're not facing one of them, you're facing the whole sorry, shady little group.

This little issue you have with Hero, it sounds so familiar to me. It's the same story i had. So jealous of what he could acheive, the way he could get the crowd to react and turn on a sixpence. The way he held them in the palm of his hand. The difference between us is i moved on. I found myself wanting to get to that level and surpass him. You? You've played second fiddle to everyone Walker picked above you and you've sat there, taking it like the bitch you are. Single handidly taking control of this company? Please. You couldn't take control of the remote at home you're so whipped.

As a collective? You've got the unhinged, Chinese loon, a drunken Irishman and you, everyones favourite doormat. No brainer? I'm surprised you have a brain between the three of you!

*Crowd Pop*

CJ: You wanna slate McGraw and play protector to your darling Walker. Take a look around 'Re-Genesis', look at all the people who have acheived more than you. Mike HIll, Kenji Hidari, Udo, Visage, Logan. How many of those have been there from the start? You call yourself a former World Champion? You were a World Champion in a tinpot company and the first time you came across any power you lost it. You think you're a threat to us? Steel, you're not even a threat to the fans. The only pity here should be reserved for you, because at Born In Fire you're going to be remembered as the man hand-picked by Walker to be his bitch and let him down at the climax.

We're walking out of Born In Fire with our heads held high, and our company back in the hands it belongs. And there isn't a damn thing you or Re-Genesis can do about it.

James gets a huge roar of approval from the crowd as he exits the shot. Steel turns his head to watch him walk away before barging past Jack Reynolds and away.

*SMACK*

Cassius Zhi is in his locker room, eyes closed, and grimacing. The room is dark and a piercing light shines on him from a television screen that is not visible to the camera.

*SMACK*

A sound of metal being smashed rings out across the room. Cassius' eyebrows raise and the furrows in his head become deeper as he remembers times gone by. Times that he can hear coming from the television.

*SMACK*

As his eyebrows raise once more, a sadistic smile crosses his lips. Without opening them, he lifts up the remote control that is lying beside him and presses a button. The sound of a video being rewinded emits from the TV, before Cassius presses another button. He slowly returns the remote to its original position as the same noise fills the darkened room.

*SMACK*

Cassius opens his eyes suddenly as there is knocking on the door. He hastily turns the television screen off and turns towards the door. Alex Walker slowly steps into the room and turns the light on. Cassius' eyes scrunch up, as if he hasn't seen light for a very long time. Walker notices that Cassius is sitting in front of a desk, with various mementos carefully arranged on top of it. He instinctively raises an eyebrow and Cassius catches sight of it.

CZ: This worries you?

Walker regains his composure and turns back to Zhi.

AW: No, of course not. I am just checking that you are in the right state of mind for the main event.....

Walker closes his eyes in annoyance as he realises the stupidity of his words. As if to emphasise it, a cup goes flying towards him and misses his face by inches. Walker opens his eyes to see Cassius in a serene state that completely goes against the action he just took.

CZ: My state of mind has never bothered you before Alex. In fact, it has been used by you to great advantage.

He slowly pours some green tea into a cup and takes a short sip. Walker watches him intently, his mind whirling as he tries to choose his next words correctly.

AW: I don't need to tell you how important tonight is.

CZ: No you don't Alex. But you just did. Are you trying to teach me something?

AW: I am merely emphasising the point.

Cassius takes another sip and returns the cup to the table. It is in slightly a different position to the one it originally was in, and Cassius adjusts it accordingly, making a show of getting it in the exact same spot.

CZ: Every living thing has it's correct place Alex. Every inanimate object does as well. I have learnt a lot about these objects over time. To an uneducated man, the things on this desk represents nothing. But to the right man, to a man such as me, it is remnants of a past. A past which keeps following me around. And as much as I move the living things in the correct position. The further I move them from my existence. The more these mementoes keep moving as well. You see Alex, nothing on this desk is in its correct position. Nothing belongs here. And the more I try to move it, the more it affects me.

He takes another sip of the cup, but this time returns it to a totally different position.

CZ: But.....as I have sat here remembering the past.....it occurred to me that these objects are of little significance when you factor in what I have done to the people that MADE them significant.

He lifts up the JJ Johnson bear...

CZ: Destroyed.

He lifts up a picture of Uryu...

CZ: Deserted.

He lifts up a picture of Clarke James...

CZ: Dilemma.

Walker looks at him confused.

AW: Dilemma?

Cassius takes another sip of tea and returns it back to yet another new position, before nodding his head.

CZ: One that will be rectified tonight. You see.....I have found another memento of the past that I had forgotten about. One that has established everything in its proper order again......even with James' cheap mind trick tactics. Because the reality is, what I have seen before me.

He reaches to the remote and turns the television on. The action is paused on Cassius Zhi holding a chair mere inches away from the blooded head of Clarke James. Walker turns towards it and a brief look of horror crosses his face as he sees the mess that Clarke James, even when paused on a TV screen, is in. Cassius takes a last gulp of tea and returns the cup nosily onto the desk.

CZ: The 9th of November 2012. A night Clarke James may have forgotten. A night I had as well. The mind of the Great Wall was merely clouded by James' attempts at obliterating it. But now this video has cleared my thoughts of illusion. As I concentrate on reality. THIS is the reality Clarke James will have. THIS is what he will relive. THIS is what my state of mind is Alex.......

Walker turns to him with a smile on his lips, but Cassius is completely absorbed with the image on the screen. Without looking up, he ushers Walker away. Alex takes the hint, and turns towards the door before exiting into the corridor. Cassius is alone again, eyes fixated onto the television. He slowly reaches for the remote and presses a button.

*SMACK*

*SMACK*

*SMACK*

The crowd gasp in horror as Cassius lays the microphone next to the head of Clarke James before raising the chair up and smashing it down across the head of the former European Champion. The sound of metal crunching against his skull and the stage reverberates around the arena. Cassius stands next to James, his neck twitching violently as the sick, twisted grin grows wider and wider whilst JJ looks on in despair....

MW: Somebody, JJ, EMT's, McGraw, get out here and help that man....

Cassius walks off the stage as JJ exits the ring sprinting up the ramp and kneeling down next to his friend....

JJ: CJ? CJ? Hang in there buddy? CJ? Can you hear me? Oh sh*t..........i'll get the medics.....just hold on man.......

JJ jumps to his feet heading towaards backstage....

RJ: Thanks god.....this is sickening, i can't believe this is how Lock.......OH NO! JOHNSON! JJ IS DOWN!

The body of JJ Johnson falls back on to the stage as Cassius walks back on to the stage carrying the steel chair, he smashes it against the back of JJ Johnson repeatedly, leaving him in a heap on the floor. Cassius raises the chair in the air as Lockdown goes off the air with Cassius stood over the bodies of the two men with the crowd eerily silent.


Cassius switches the television off, his neck twitching and a sadistic smile on his face. He turns back towards his desk, where various items of his past are arranged neatly. Pictures of Hero, Saint, Uryu and Clarke James. The JJ Johnson bear and the straitjacket. All of them, in their proper place, in the mind of Cassius Zhi. However, as he looks down at each object, the smile slowly vanishes from his lips and his eyes begin to bulge. The erratic movement of his neck increases as his eyes dart quickly onto each object, his head spinning as his eyes move back and forth. Suddenly, he raises his leg and crashes it through the desk. It breaks in the middle and the items scatter. Cassius lifts one half up and chucks it to one end of the room, before doing the same to the other half. He stares at the empty space left by where the desk used to be and breathes in and out heavily.

CZ: Everything has its place.......

He slowly starts to sit cross legged on the floor, his face red and seething as the camera fades.

Match 9
6WF World Heavyweight Championship
Logan Kincade © v Keith Leone

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman...the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL and is for the 6WF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

RJ: That’s right folks, it’s now time for our 2nd world championship match of the evening!

MW: Like the 1st world title match, this is a clash between a Re-Genesis man and one of the leaders in the fight against Alex Walker’s regime.

RJ: I would say it is a clash between the two leaders of the respective groups, and a match between two of the most brutal, sadistic competitors in this company’s long and illustrious history.

MW: Two men who quite simply like to fight, and I can’t see that this match will be any different.

Mike Bird: Introducing first...the challenger...he hails from Bristol, England and weighs in at 230lbs...he is a former 6WF heavyweight champion of the world....KEITHHHH...LEOONNEEEEEE!

“Limowreck” blares out through the speakers and the crowd cheer loudly as Keith Leone strides out onto the stage, looking supremely focused. He marches down the ramp, tagging the fans hands before climbing up the steel steps and then through the middle rope into the ring. Leone bounces off the ropes a couple of times as he awaits the arrival of his opponent.

RJ: This is the opportunity Keith Leone has always wanted. He was screwed out of his world title, ending the longest reigning championship run in the company’s history. Tonight is about revenge.

MW: Well he can’t let the idea of revenge dominate his thoughts, he needs to remain composed in the situation.

RJ: I’m not sure he will be able to do that though Michael. Leone’s hated for all things Alex Walker and Re-Genesis makes remaining objective pretty difficult.

Mike Bird: And now...hailing from Liverpool, England and weighing in at 252lbs...the REIGNING AND DEFENDING 6WF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD...LOGAAAN KINCAADEEEEE!

DUE TO THE GRAPHIC NATURE OF THIS PROGRAMME, VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED...”Edgecrusher” roars out around the arena. Logan Kincade steps out on to the ramp, the 6WF World Title clipped around his waist. He stares down the ramp at Leone, holding the title above his head. Kincade slides under the bottom rope, he leaps to his feet and stares down at Leone again.

MW: What a menacing, physical threat that this man is. He is going all out to send a message to Leone this evening, and to the rest of 6WF.

RJ: This is his toughest test yet though Michael, Leone isn’t going to bow down to his style of wrestling, he will thrive in it.

MW: But Leone has never faced anyone like Kincade either...

RJ: Outstanding display from Kincade, stunning work and tremendous heart shown.

The camera cuts backstage to Alex Walker's office. He's sat on his desk, looking stern faced as Dicey Reilly and Geoff Steel stand in front of him. Their is an awkward silence as Walker stares down at the floor. He looks up at Reilly before switching his gaze to Geoff Steel....

AW: I don't need to sit here and explain to you just how important tonight is, do I?

Months. Months i've been planning the destruction and downfall of 6WF. Months i've set about making this company as unstable as possible. Ensuring Re-Genesis held all the aces. Tonight hasn't gone to plan, but i want this to be a false dawn for 6WF. I want them to go out there think that they are on the cusp of victory and then i want to take it from them in the most satisfying way possible.

I want to embarass them.

I want to humiliate them.

I want to watch the thousands of people in this arena bare witness to the final minutes and seconds of this company. I want to stand there in that ring and watch as the roster stand wondering what the future holds for them. I want the power of deciding whether their careers live or die.

That destiny, that moment, it rests on your shoulders.

Walker stands up from his desk....

AW: Do you understand the task in front of you?

Steel and Reilly look at each other...

GS: I think someone is missing...

DR: As per usual....

AW: Cassius is exactly where i want him to be. Sat in his locker room, torturing himself. Reminiscing over his past dalliances at Born In Fire. He'll be more determind than the pair of you to take this company and destroy it.

What i need you to do, is focus on exactly what we tried to build here, and i want you to see it through to the end, no matter what.

And i want you to promise me....

Steel and Reilly look nervous at the proposition.

AW: Promise me, that when the curtain closes on tonight, our mission, our goal succeeds, and 6WF is placed into the history books.......forever....

Walker walks round his desk and sits back in his chair, he closes his eyes and waves Reilly and Steel away as we fade to black.

RJ: Ladies and Gentleman, we are moments away from what could be; not only the most memorable main event in 6WF History, but also the last....

MW: It's time for the main event. The 6 man tag match. There are no titles on the line, no clauses, no contracts, just one thing. 6WF...

RJ: Re-Genesis, the brainchild of Alex Walker, represented by Geoff Steel, the trusted enforcer, Dicey Reilly and the unhinged Cassius Zhi take on 6WF's great hope, the Church of Hero. It promises to be off the scale, with so much at stake.

MW: I think every single person in the company, every single fan in attendance is on the edge of their seat.

RJ: So far tonight, 6WF has had the run. Earlier tonight, Cameron Faith became a three time 6WF Freeweight Champion when he defeated Kenji Hidari.

MW: And The Consultancy, the nearlymen of the Tag Team Division finally got their reward as they won the Tag Team Titles.

RJ: But all that will be in vain if tonight, Re-Genesis do the unthinkable and win. Let's take you through the last twleve months at how this came to pass....

A video package begins to play....

6WF Lockdown, 17th December 2012.....Alex Walker joins 6WF...

AA: And finally, the board asked that I introduce you to my replacement.. A man I think you'll get along with just fine. A man who has plenty of experience running a company of this size....

McGraw looks up the ramp....

RJ: No. Fricking. Way!!!!!

MW: You've gotta be kidding me!!!!!

RJ: I can't believe what I'm seeing!

MW: This is unbelievable!

RJ: Alex Walker! He's back! The former 6CW owner is the new Co-GM of Lockdown!!

Walker walks out on the stage carrying the 6WF title. Abe hands him the TAW Title and Walker smiles before raising them high in the air to a cheer from the crowd...

6WF Survival, 31st March 2013.....Walker and Cassius Shock the World.....

RJ: IT WAS JESSICA! JESSICA WAS BEHIND THE JJ JOHNSON BEAR!

MW: 'Arj?

RJ: WHAT?

MW: Look at Cassius......he's not twitching......

Cassius is stood motionless in the ring. The eerie smile washed from his face as he stares menacingly at Jessica. She tries to plead with Cassius as Walker approaches the ring. Geoff Steel is stood looking on in shock as Leone gets to his feet....

RJ: Well what the hell is he going to do......NO! NO! NO!!!!

MW: SHOCKWAVE!!

RJ: TO LEONE!!!

MW: YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!?!?!

1......

3......!

Ding, ding, ding!

RJ: NO! NO! IT CAN'T BE!

MW: CASSIUS JUST TURNED HIS BACK ON 6WF!!

Cassius turns his stare from Jessica and looks at Leone who goes to motion to Geoff Steel but Cassius delivers a devestating shockwave to the chest of Keith Leone sending him rocking back into the turnbuckle and crashing to the floor. Cassius looks over at Walker and nods before covering Leone and Walker motions for the ref to count the pinfall as Cassius stares over at a visibly shocked Jessica....

RJ: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! CASSIUS JUST PINNED KEITH LEONE! TEAM 6CW HAVE WON! WALKER IS TRIUMPHANT!!

Danny McGraw steps out on to the stage looking shocked as Steel exits the ring...

MW: MCGRAW MUST BE SICK TO HIS STOMACH! CASSIUS JUST BETRAYED 6WF!

RJ: HE DIDN'T BETRAY 6WF! JESSICA, THE DEVIOUS LITTLE COW HAS COST 6WF!!

Cassius gets to his feet and Jessica falls to her knees as Alex Walker enters the ring, he stands in the centre of the ring as Cassius stares across....

MW: What now?

RJ: Wait a minute........no way.........NO WAY! OH MY GOD! CASSIUS! WALKER! SATAN'S HANDSHAKE! WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED HERE!

The crowd erupt into boo's as 'They Say by Scars on Broadway reverberates around the arena as Cassius shakes hands with Alex Walker. He looks down at the broken body of Keith Leone and smiles to himself before smriking over at Jessica.....

RJ: CASSIUS JUST SHOOK HANDS WITH THE DEVIL. HE'S TURNED HIS BACK ON 6WF. HE TOOK OUT THE 6WF CHAMPION. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! WHAT NOW FOR 6WF? WHAT NOW FOR JESSICA? WHAT NOW FOR MCGRAW AND LEONE!?

6WF Lockdown, 24th May 2013........Walker takes control.....

RJ: WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?!

Berg picks up McGraw and slams him into the canvas just as he is about to say “fired.” The crowd descend into huge boos, Leone tries to run in to help the commissioner but Geoff Steel and Cassius Zhi cut him off. They grab him by the arms and throw him back to the corner.

MW: Leone is brave, he is an absolute fighter, but even he can’t cope with these odds.

RJ: And neither can Danny McGraw!

Visage starts stomping away on the head of Danny McGraw as Alex Walker watches on approvingly. Visage sits on top of McGraw and hitting a succession of elbows and punches down into the head, followed by some throat chops.

In the corner, Geoff Steel and Cassius Zhi take it in turns to pummel huge punches down into the head of the 6WF World Champion. Walker walks over, smirking at the actions of Steel and Zhi who continue punching away on Leone, with even more force as the crowd’s boos increase.

The camera switches back to Visage who fires in a number of big elbows, Visage nails a number of headbutts and then looks to Berg who is on the outside. He nods his head and Berg picks up the steel steps, he throws them over the top rope and into the ring.

RJ: This is just disgusting. Can someone stop this...

“Papercut” hits and the crowd erupt into huge cheers as Marshall Murdoch strides out onto the stage. Visage and Berg look up the ramp but before Marshall Murdoch can make his way down to the ring, Kenji Hidari runs out from backstage and hits a double axe handle to the back of the head.

MW: HIDARI! HIDARI! HE’S JOINING WALKER AND HIS CREW!

RJ: God damn it! Marshall was here to save McGraw but Hidari stopped it dead in the tracks!

Hidari begins to stomp away on the head of Murdoch on the steel rampway. He picks up Murdoch’s head, smashing it into the steel continually. The camera goes back to the ring, Geoff Steel and Cassius Zhi are still booting away on the gut and head of Keith Leone. Steel then holds up Leone, Zhi picks up the 6WF Title and smashes it into the head of Leone!

Visage is still beating down on McGraw, he then rolls away as Alex Walker strides over and screams into the face of Danny McGraw. Berg then walks over, he grabs McGraw by the throat. Standing over the steel steps, Berg holds McGraw in the head...

CRASH!

RJ: OH MY GOD!

MW: THAT WAS AMAZING!

RJ: THAT WAS SICKENING! DISGUSTING! HE CAN’T DO THAT!

MW: BERG JUST CHOKE-SLAMMED MCGRAW INTO THE STEEL STEPS!

The five men are standing around the wreckage cheering, Alex Walker scoops up the world title and leaves the ring. They leave the ring, meeting Kenji Hidari at the top of the ramp who has beaten down on Murdoch. Walker holds the 6WF Title aloft as his cohorts stand tall with McGraw, Leone and Murdoch left in the wreckage as Lockdown goes off air.

Walker sets his target.....

've learned from my mistakes, Keith. I'm not as quick to fly off the handle, make rash decsions and jeapordise what i've built. I'm not going to put the company on the line. I'm going to destroy it from the inside out. I'm going to take it's crown prince and put him up on a pedestal for the most public of executions. At Explosion, Keith, the 6WF Title will be on the line, but the settings will be oh so familiar....

If you win, Keith, you deserve to keep your title, you deserve to live to fight another day. But if you lose, Keith? If you lose, you won't be fired, you won't become my pet. You'll have to sit back and watch as Re-Genesis grows ever stronger, as it grows bigger and consumes this company. If you lose, Keith, you'll NEVER get another shot at your title. You'll never get a shot at any title within this company. At Explosion, Keith, you're going to face the man who put this whole thing in motion. The man that set about wanting to turn 6WF inside out, and burn it to the ground. It's going to be Keith Leone versus Cassius Zhi....

HELL IN A CELL!

6WF Explosion, 30th June 2013........An old friend returns, with shocking consequences.....

CROWD: YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

RJ: OH MY GOD!

MW: WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?!

RJ: I DON’T BELIEVE IT! HERE IN 6WF!

MW: WHY IS HE HERE? WHAT DOES HE WANT?!

RJ: WHAT A REVELATION!

MW: DICEY GOD DAMN REILLY HERE IN 6WF! UNBELIEVABLE!

Alex Walker has made his way down the stage, he staggers through the cell door looking at Reilly in shock.

RJ: Oh Alex Walker did not expect this!

MW: DICEY FREAKING REILLY! I STILL DON’T BELIEVE IT!

Reilly stares at Zhi, he points at him, snarling. He walks towards him and stares Zhi down, poking him in the chest. He then grabs the sledgehammer from him to an even bigger pop. Reilly brings it back...

RJ: NO!

MW: WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?!

RJ: GOD DAMN IT!

MW: DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?!

RJ: REILLY JUST LEVELLED LEONE WITH THE SLEDGEHAMMER DAMN IT!

Reilly turns back towards Zhi, they grin and embrace to huge boos from the Cologne crowd. Reilly then looks at Walker and those two hug as well to even louder boos.

MW: REILLY...WALKER...ZHI...RE-GENESIS!

6WF Lockdown, 18th October 2013.......The Duke Returns.....

The crowd are apoplectic as 'Run This Town' roars around the arena. Alex Walker turns round in disbelief as Danny McGraw strolls on to the stage with The Consultant as the crowd chant 'Duke' at the top of their voices. He slowly makes his way down the ramp as Walker adjusts his jacket. He looks to escape from the ring but is cut off by Cameron Faith and Marshall Murdoch. He again tries but is pushed back by Clarke James. McGraw climbs the ring steps as Walker turns, McGraw stares blankly at Walker as he enters the ring. Walker pleads with McGraw, putting his hands out and begging....

RJ: Oh look at the little snake....

Walker continues to plead as McGraw stands there. Walker gets to his feet, trying to reason with McGraw...

MW: He's trying to reason with the wrong man! Get out of their Alex!

RJ: He deserves everything he gets....

*Crowd Pop*

RJ: WHAT A SHOT! AND ANOTHER!

Crowd: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

RJ: 6WF HAS NEW HOPE! DANNY MCGRAW HAS RETURNED! WHAT WILL THIS MEAN FOR RE-GENESIS! I DON'T EVEN CARE! 6WF IS RISING! THE DUKE IS BACK! THE DUKE IS BACK!!!

Leone stands next to McGraw, raising his arm aloft as McGraw smiles round the arena as Lockdown goes off the air.

6WF Lockdown, 9th Novemeber 2013........The stage is set...

AW: I'm no fool Danny. I am sure you appreciate that. And this constant back and forth between the two groups can't go on. I mean.....how many different types of beat downs can these people stomach before they get bored? If it isn't 6WF last week, it is Re-Genesis this week. Something has got to give. And I acknowledge that.......

He rubs his chin in thought before turning back to McGraw.

AW: Born in Fire is the place where feuds are settled once and for all. Look at the main event last year. It resulted in a title change and a retirement all in one night! It is the PPV where things happen. The PPV where dreams are made and shattered in an instant. It is the best battleground for an ending to this war. The end of an epic wrestling year.....punctuated by the exclamation point of my final victory.

He looks at McGraw who says nothing, but whose fists are obviously clenching in anger.

AW: Does that ticker your fancy Danny? Does that get the creative juices going into overdrive? The biggest stage of them all witnessing the last chapter. Poetic isn't it? But surely you realise that this is what was always going to happen. This is what had been planned. This.....is......the moment.

He waves his hand across the sky as if reading an invisible billboard.

AW: 6WF v Re-Genesis. A tag match involving two of mine against two of yours. You can pick any two people you feel can actually beat the juggernaut that is Re-Genesis. As for me.......I know my two guys. At Born in Fire......GEOFF STEEL....

Steel steps forward to stand beside Walker.

AW:.......AND DICEY REILLY

Reilly does the same and stands to the other side.

AW: Will face...........whoever.......it doesn't matter Danny. You have already lost. Just like the two men you see lying in this ring. Think on it Danny. Think long and hard. Because the plan......my plan......always works!

He chucks his microphone to the mat and stands smiling at McGraw as the crowd murmur.

RJ: WHAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT! ALEX WALKER HAS WELL AND TRULY THROWN THE GAUNTLET DOWN HERE! AND DANNY MCGRAW NOW HAS TO MAKE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOICES OF HIS BUSINESS CAREER!

The two co-gm's stare at each other intently as Lockdown goes off air.

The camera shows McGraw and Walker staring at each other as the camera fades to black.[/quote]

The camera goes backstage, Hero is stood in his Church of Hero robes, his eyes looking down at the floor. He begins to raise his head as he looks down into the camera lens...

Hero: When i began my career.
When i walked through those doors.
A legend was born.
A legend that would forever be remembered in this company.
Remembered for his triumphs.
Remembered for his turns.
Remembered for the cheers he raised.
Remembered for the pain he caused.

Hero removes the hood from his head, twisting his neck...

Hero: I created a Church.
A Church for people like me.
For people who stood above greatness.
For people who wanted to be more than just ordinary people.
For people who wanted to stand out in this company.
Just like me.
Just like Hero.

Tonight, I step into the limelight.
The limelight that followed me in my career.
And i lay it on the line.
Not for me.
Not for my Church.
But for 6WF.
For the company that made me.
The company that propelled me into your living room.
The company that's existence, is in the hands of it's greatest creation...

The camera zooms out to show Marshall Murdoch and Clarke James stood either side of Hero, they all look into the camera...

Hero: Tonight, 6WF will rise again.
The Church will reunite for a purpose more important than any misdeeds i planned for it.
The Church will reunite.
We will fight.
Fight for our futures.
Fight for the careers of each and every single competitor who walked these halls.
Tonight, do not pray.
Do not fear.
6WF will live on.
And you'll remember what you saw here.

RJ: Here we go then folks. The one you have all been waiting for. The end of a year’s worth of 6WF and what could potentially be the end of an era. It is 6WF Born In Fire and it is the MAIN EVENT!

MW: This is it folks. The power battle between Alex Walker and Danny McGraw comes down to this, one match between 6 of 6WF’s biggest stars, who all have a huge amount of pressure and expectation on their shoulders.

RJ: It has to be said that this match is absolutely crucial to the future of this company. The winning team will define the next era of 6WF, they will define which direction this company goes.

MW: McGraw and Walker have exchanged psychological blows, business blows, they’ve one upped each others with signings, returns and stables but now it comes down to this. A wrestling match.

RJ: All 6 men have been hand-picked by Alex Walker and Danny McGraw, trust has been placed into them to represent our two commissioners. It is up to them to enforce the values of those two.

MW: And if they do, this will be an amazing match...filled with controversy.

Mike Bird: Ladies and Gentleman...this is your MAIN EVENT! It is a 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

*Crowd boo

At a combined weight of 719lbs...the team of Dicey Reilly, Cassius Zhi and Geoff Steel...RE-GENESISSSSSSSSSSSS!

“Last resort” hits and the crowd’s reaction changes to boos as Geoff Steel walks out wearing his Re-Genesis t-shirt. Steel surveys the arena before smiling to himself. He then paces his way down the ramp, he slides in under the bottom rope and points at his T-Shirt which infuriates the crowd even further.

‘Born to Fight' erupts and the crowd ramp up the boos as Dicey Reilly walks out on stage to an array of green pyro. He then paces down the ramp, stepping into the ring and nodding at Geoff Steel before the two shake hands.

Finally, “They Say” blazes out around the arena and the booing goes up another level as Cassius Zhi steps out onto the stage. The former world champion stares out emotionlessly towards the crowd, before striding down the ramp. He climbs up the steel steps, before going through the middle rope and into the ring. He looks to his team-mates, nodding at them.

MW: Would you look at that for a team? Have you ever seen a more impressive line-up that? Two former 6CW World Champions and an all-time 6WF Legend.

RJ: It’s a hell of a line-up, Alex Walker’s most trusted foot soldiers. Geoff Steel the founding member of the group, Cassius Zhi who really kick-started the revolution and Dicey Reilly who won both world titles for the group.

MW: Alex Walker has placed a lot of faith in these three men, can you imagine the rewards they will get if they win?

Mike Bird: And now...representing Danny Mcgraw...at a combined weight of 666 pounds...the team of Marshall Murdoch, Clarke James and Hero...THE CHURCH OF HEROOOOOOOOOO!

“Blind Faith” blares out around the arena and the crowd start cheering as the lights dim and a white light shines at the top of the stage, Clarke James has his back to the ground. He turns around and the arena is illuminated with an extravagant pyrotechnics display. James slowly walks down the ramp, tagging the fans hands. The former European champion then slides into the ring under the bottom rope.

“Papercut” blares out through the speakers and the crowd start to cheer as Marshall Murdoch strolls out onto the stage. He kneels down his arms in a cross position before leaping to his feet and punching the air. Murdoch then walks to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope.

The crowd are on their feet as ‘Here Comes The King’ plays and Hero steps out on to the ramp in his Church robes. Re-Genesis stare up the ramp as 6WF’s very own god points to the skies and signals for them to pray. James and Murdoch look up the ramp, smirking as Hero then saunters down the rampway, tagging the fans hands. He springboards into the ring, shaking hands with his two disciples.

RJ: The other team is impressive, but it has to be said, Danny McGraw has pulled off one hell of a coup in managing to re-unite the Church of Hero to represent him.

MW: Three amazing competitors, two former European Champions and the man who is arguably Mr 6WF in the returning Hero. My question is, this group combusted once before, what’s to say they won’t to it again?

RJ: I’d say that 6WF means so much to them that won’t happen, they do not want this company to fall into the hands of Alex Walker.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

The cameras then survey the scene in the ring, James and Steel are down on the mat, Murdoch is on the apron trying to pull himself up and Dicey is coming to on the outside. Suddenly the crowd erupt as James kips up to his feet, but he struggles to stay standing.

Steel gets to his feet and the two start exchanging booming punches, Steel gets the advantage with a kick to the mid-section. He goes for an Irish whip, James reverses by pulling Steel in and going for a Samoan Drop, Steel drops down the back. He goes for a lariat, James ducks...

RJ: FAITHLESS! FAITHLESS!
