The AWA logo flashes across our screen and then the Shock opening video begins to play. We cut into the Baltimore Arena as fireworks go off. The camera pans over the crowd, showing a lively crowd with many signs, so many signs that it is hard to just pick out three. We then cut to our announcers.)

HS: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to AWA Sunday Night Shock! Two weeks from now Springs And Breaks 2005 will emanate from the Colisseum in Charlotte, North Carolina and we have been told that tonight, on this very program, acting AWA commissioner Lethal Louise is going to present us the complete Springs And Breaks line-up!"

FJ: "This sounds like very good news to me, Herb. Besides that, we will get to watch a Triple Threat Match between Frank Schmidt, Johnny Hollywood and Thumbscrews. Also, three-time former AWA World Heavyweight Champion "Dark Warrior" Jeff Christianson is going to make his in-ring return after almost two months of injury, taking on Saidogai."

HS: "That's right. In tonight's main event, US Champion BlackJack is going to battle in another Triple Threat Match, facing former US Champions John Williams and Colin Baird with the title not on the line. Let's go to our first match right now, though!"

(A large pyro explosion shoots up on the stage and Give It All by Rise Against starts playing. Both Terry and XTJ run out, Terry to the right end of the stage and XTJ to the left. )

HS: " And here is the latest tag team to enter the AWA. The Canucks!"

FJ: " You said that like it actually means something! Come on, their facing the Forces of Nature."

HS: " And your point?"

FJ: " I dunno... get back to work!"

(They run to the very edge of each side and raise their hands before jogging back to the center. The two the run down the ramp and slide under the bottom rope into the ring. They then spring up and go to top of the turnbuckles in front of them. Terry goes to the right and raises his hand while perched on the tope rope and XTJ does the same on the left as they wait for their opponents. )

HS: " This young team has been impressing me as of late. Let's see if they can build on this and their fan base with a victory tonight!"

FJ: " Not gonna happen!"

(How we do hits and the lights go yellow and blue, the titan tron show Thunder with the king of Tv under his picture and right next to it a split screen with lightning. )

FJ: " Now this is a real tag team!"

HS: " Really? I thought it was a chicken!"

FJ: " It is?"

HS: "Forget it... Anyway, Thunder, the so-called King of TV, is a former Television champion and the youngest man in this match is actually the most successful within the AWA. The Canucks are gonna have to keep an eye on him tonight."

(Sparks come up the ramp as Thunder comes out holding Alyson's hand followed by his older brother Lightning. As they appear there showered with boo's as all three walk side by side giving dirty looks to the fans. They begin to start bad mouthing the crowd as the boos get louder.)

HS: " Not the most popular guys in the AWA are they?"

FJ: " Popularity and wrestling ability are two completly different things Herb."

HS: " Well let's see if they can prove they have the ability by beating the Canucks in our opening match."

(Thunder and Lightning both slide in the ring. Lightning and Thunder both rush Terry James with haymakers that send him over the top rope. Xtreme Jeff jumps in and catches Lightning with a dropkick and knocks him through the middle rope as the bell sounds. )

HS: "Things are getting rough early on."

FJ: " I... forgot my lines..."

HS: " What?"

FJ: "Nothing..."

(Thunder ambushes Xtreme Jeff from behind with a huge forearm. Xtreme Jeff is powered down into the turnbuckle but Thunder continues the assault with hard stomps to the back. Xtreme Jeff is down on his knees and Thunder drops an elbow across the back of his neck. Thunder picks up Xtreme Jeff by the hair. Thunder jerks up and Xtreme Jeff screams in pain. Thunder takes Xtreme Jeff by the hair and hurls him across the ring and into the opposite turnbuckle. Lightning is in that corner.)

HS: "Some low tactics from Thunder in the early goings of this match."

(Thunder stomps his foot on the ground and then charges forward flying through the air with a huge splash into Xtreme Jeff. Xtreme Jeff gets squished against the turnbuckle and he lifelessly lies there. Lightning kicks Xtreme Jeff from behind in the knee as the crowd boos. Xtreme Jeff goes to kneeling on one knee. Lightning jumps down to the apron floor and he grabs Jeff’s ankle so he trips and falls to the mat.)

HS: " Is the referee blind? How did he not see that?"

FJ: " If you were paying attention you would have realised that Alyson was distracting him. Seems the Forces of Nature have got their tactics right. "

( Lightning grabs him by the foot and drives his knee against the steel post! Xtreme Jeff holds his knee as Thunder kicks him in the back of the head. Thunder tags in Lightning and exits the ring through the middle rope. Lightning picks up Xtreme Jeff but is caught with an elbow to the ribs. Xtreme Jeff hits another one and Lightning throws a wild clothesline. Xtreme Jeff ducks and hits a reverse DDT on him.)

HS: " Jeff might be on the comeback here."

( Lightning jumps up only to be caught by a dropkick to the sternum that throws Lightning to the ground. Xtreme Jeff collapses on the ground with a lifeless look in his eyes. Thunder hops down and rolls both men back into the ring. Xtreme Jeff crawls and manages to tag in Terry James. )

HS: "Xtreme Jeff just made it out of there in time!"

(Terry runs in and drags Lightning to the feet by his ears! Terry James chops Lightning's chest as the crowd gives a huge 'Woooo'. He repeats this and backs him into the turnbuckle. He then irish whips Lightning into the opposite turnbuckle and as Lighting bounces back, nails a spinning heel kick. )

HS: " The tide has changed and now the Canucks are in control!"

FJ: " No

(BLEEP) Sherlock!"

( Lightning quickly gets up but is hit with a lightning quick neckbreaker. Lightning bounces on the mat and James sits right up with a satisfied look in his eyes. Lightning climbs to his feet and attempts to hit Terry James but misses by far. Terry James hits a wild right hand to the face that sends Lightning recoiling back. Lightning comes back to be caught by a huge overhead belly to belly suplex that sends his flying into the ropes.)

FJ: " This looks bad... bad... very bad."

HS: "Lightning has his legs caught between the ropes. But Terry James isn't gonna stop the assault."

( Terry James hits Lightning in the throat with several stomps. Thunder jumps down from the apron and grabs a hold of Lightning’s ankles and saves him by pulling him out. Terry James looks very angry as he kicks the mat in frustration. Thunder slaps Lightning’s hand and then slides in the ring. Thunder stops in front of Terry James and the two are chest to chest.)

HS: " And Thunder is trying to wind him up."

(Thunder continues bad mouthing James. Terry James pushes Thunder back but he returns it! Terry James quickly knee’s Thunder in the stomach and starts to take control of the match. Thunder doubles over in pain and Terry James has him by the back of the head. Terry James charges into the turnbuckle and beats Thunder head first into it. Thunder lays over the top turnbuckle with his back facing Terry James. Terry rakes him down the back and Thunder drops to his knee’s still facing away from James. Terry James goes to pick him up but is hit with kick to the stomach! Thunder gets to his feet. Thunder lifts Terry James’ head up and starts to deliver blow...after blow. Thunder let’s go of Terry James’ head and picks her up by the arm. Terry James comes up easily and Thunder switches her into a full nelson lock.)

FJ: " And the tide has changed for the better. "

( Thunder goes to one knee and pushes down with all his might. Thunder goes back to a standing position with Terry James still in that same lock. Thunder capitalizes with a full nelson slam!)

FJ: " Did you see the impact of that move? Terry James just bounced off of the mat!"

(He goes for the pin....1....2...but it still isn't enough. Thunder shakes his head but then picks him back up. Thunder throws Terry James against the ropes and Terry James blind tags Xtreme Jeff.)

HS: " Blind tag! The ref saw it but I don't think Thunder did!"

(Thunder clotheslines Terry James down to the mat and he grins. Xtreme Jeff climbs to the top rope and waits up there ready to strike. Thunder turns around and is hit in the chest with a missile dropkick! Thunder lays flat on his back as Xtreme Jeff climbs to his feet. Jeff runs against the ropes and comes back with a legdrop, followed by a standing moonsault!)

HS: " Could this be an upset? 1...2...."

FJ: " Hahaha. No chance of him being put down by that!"

( Xtreme Jeff wastes no time and drags Thunder towards the middle of the ring and lets him lie limply. Jeff climbs up onto Thunder and stands on him like he is a state board as the crowd bursts into laughter! Xtreme Jeff jumps up and then comes down crushing the ribs of Thunder and knocking all the wind out of him. Xtreme Jeff jumps up again and again comes crashing down on his feet. Xtreme Jeff jumps on his chest once more and then gets off. )

FJ: " That's illegal! It has to be illegal. He could have broken Thunder’s ribs!

HS: "So Thunder can cheat and Xtreme Jeff can’t?"

FJ: "Right."

HS: " Well the crowd sure is loving this!"

( As Xtreme Jeff taunts Thunder, Lightning quickly runs in to stop him, but Terry James runs in and hits a flying forearm smash, and James kips up almost as soon as he hits the floor to a huge pop from the crowd. James and Jeff pick Lightning up and irish whip him towards the ropes. )

HS: “OH MY GOD!”

FJ: “I can’t believe what I just saw!”

HS: “That was amazing! The Canucks just gave Lightning a double flapjack that sent him OVER the ropes!”

FJ: “And on the way down to the outside! Lightning is completely out of it!"

HS: " I very much doubt we will be seeing anymore of Lightning in this match. He most have fell ten to fifteen feet to the floor. And that is only a one inch quick pad that is covering the bare concrete floor."

FJ: " And the crowd is going crazy for this young Canadian team. How can they cheer such a horrific move?"

HS: " But this match isn't over yet."

( As Thunder begins to get up, Terry James as leaped to the top rope and Xtreme Jeff begins to stalk him. The sold-out crowd goes crazy as Jeff hits the side effect.)

HS: " There's the Side Effect! That's his finishing move... WHOA!"

FJ: " Terry James just hit a beautiful moonsault Xtreme Jeff is making the cover! The crowd are on their feet. They think it's all over...."

(1..................2...........................................3!)

HS: " .... It is now!"

(The lights go out in the arena as a voice whispers once over the arena speakers, "Black is White. White is Black." The darkness in the arena is then broken by pyros shooting white sparks into the air as strobe lights start to flash on and off through-out the arena. "Man In The Box" by Alice In Chains begins to play as Thumbscrews walks down to the ring, usually being pretty flamboyant and slightly cocky. He reaches the ring and hangs his black and white trench coat on a ringpost, awaiting his opponents.)

HS: “Here is a fairly new superstar to the AWA. Last week we saw him attacking Jag on Xplosion and he seems to be ready to go tonight!”

FJ: “Please Herb, this guy is nothing.”

("I'm an Anti-Hero" by the Anti-Hero's hits and Frank walks out looking intense wearing a black zip up sweatshirt with no sleeves and "The Standard" written on the back in Old English letters, he throws punches and kicks as he walks and acts like he is going to punch a fan in the face before he slides into the ring. He throws of his sweatshirt and screams throwing his arms in the air. Frank then walks up the ring steps and steps through the second and third rope, looking at Thumbscrews. The two stare at each other and wait for the last opponent in the match.)

FJ: “Now this guy is great! He is going to mop the floor with Thumbscrews!”

HS: “Frank Schmidt has certainly shown us he has the aggression to do so in a win last week against the Canucks in tag team action.”

(The song “Beautiful People” by Manson blares throughout the arena as Johnny Hollywood makes his way to the ring. On the titan tron it shows clips of Johnny signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. Johnny then slides into the ring and stands in the middle of the ring and does a quick photo pose for the fans. He then looks at Schmidt only to find himself being clotheslined to the ground by Thumbscrews. The bell rings to start the match and Schmidt charges at Thumbscrews, going for a hip toss. How ever, Thumbscrews counters it quickly by grabbing Schmidt’s arm, then his other and delivering a double arm DDT.)

HS: “What a thunderous counter there by Thumbscrews on Schmidt!”

FJ: “Thunderous!? It didn’t even faze Schmidt! Look he’s getting up already!”

(As Frank said Schmidt is already up but he is met by a quick kick to the gut, followed by a snap suplex from Thumbscrews. As Schmidt goes down, Hollywood gets up and charges at Thumbscrews who catches him and delivers a spinebuster to the canvas. Hollywood rolls off to the side of the ring as Thumbscrews walks over to Schmidt.)

HS: “Thumbscrews is absolutely dominating this match! He is now stalking Schmidt who is getting up slowly after that snap suplex!”

FJ: “Why are you so enthusiastic, Schmidt is going to catch Thumbscrews in his tracks and end this!”

(Thumbscrews circles to the back of Schmidt as he gets up, not knowing where Thumbscrews is. Thumbscrews then goes in and wraps his arms around Schmidt’s waist before hoisting him up for a German suplex. How ever, Thumbscrews does not release Schmidt and delivers another German suplex, then one more before releasing him.)

HS: “Three German suplexes there by Thumbscrews on Schmidt! Schmidt doesn’t know where he is right now!”

FJ: “C’mon Schmidt stop acting now! We get it, just finish Thumbscrews off now!”

(Thumbscrews smirks and goes down to Schmidt on the mat, locking in a modified crippler crossface. Schmidt screams before tapping and the bell rings. The ref comes over and raises Thumbscrews’ hand in the air.)

HS: “Thumbscrews has one it with The Torture Device! He clearly dominated the match!”

FJ: “This is all a sham! Thumbscrews must have paid off Schmidt to let him win!”

HS: “Please Frank…Thumbscrews is clearly showing he is a force to be reckoned with!”

(After a short look back at what transpired between Brian Williams and Low last week, we cut back to the arena.)

HS: Next up is the long awaited return of the "Dark Warrior" Jeff Christianson.

FJ: Yeah and hes facing the 6’10" monster Saidogai. What a way to return huh.

HS: Saidogai seems to be having his mind torn between two people nowadays and may prove to be a distraction in this upcoming match. Not only does he have to worry about the Dark Warrior, but he also has to keep in the back of his mind the other man whos been dogging him as of late, Brian Stevens.

FJ: Yeah Did you see what happened to Saidogai on Xplosion. Brian had his new bodyguard Onslaught carry him to the ring and tie him up. To bad for Brian he didn’t get a chance for some revenge as the lights went off and POOF, Saidogai was gone. Creepy the way he does that.

HS: Well, lets see what happens Frank as we are about ready to start.

(The lights dim in the arena and Sabbath's "Supernaut" explodes through the P.A. The crowd gets to their feet and begin to cheer. On the tron are various highlights of Saidogai's AWA career. Saidogai then walks out to the stage and stops, looking through the arena. He begins to walk down the ramp to the aisle. Saidogai stops in the middle of the aisle and begins to snap punches and kicks. Pyros explode at the stage and the lights flicker red; going with Saidogai's attacks it seems. He heads over to the steel steps and climbs up them before stepping though the middle and top rope into the ring, just after the lights return to a steady red and the pryos stop. He removes his shirt and raises his hands in the air and the crowd cheers louder. The lights return to normal and Saidogai begins to stretch, waiting for the arrival of the Dark Warrior)

FJ: WOW I never get tired of his entrance. Such explosions. Such fire. Like the Fourth of July all over again.

HS: I don’t think Saidogai is celebrating an independence with his pyros. This monster is a master of the martial arts and trained for years in Japan.

FJ: Not to mention hes like what 8 feet tall

HS: No Frank, hes listed at 6’10"

FJ: Maybe he grow a few feet since then.

HS: I highly doubt it.

(The lights heading from backstage toward the ring turn red light. We then see on the video screen, the words grand slam appears. and it goes away to the words 'I'm Back' appear. Then the video screen shows various clips from Jeff Christianson's matches and interviews that he's been involved in. Suddenly, "Im Supposed to Die Tonight" by 50 Cent blares over the PA and the returning Jeff Christianson walks out slowly. He has his usual arrogant smile on as the crowd erupts. Huge cheers echo through the arena as the Dark Warrior begins to make his way to the ring. Along the way, he slaps the hands of a few of the fans, never taking his eyes off the monster in the ring. Jeff jumps up onto the apron and turns around acknowledging the fans and thanking them for their support in his return.)

HS: Listen to that ovation for the returning Grand Slam Champion, Jeff Christianson.

FJ: WHAT? I CANT HEAR YOU ITS TOO LOUD.

HS: I SAID…What a minute Saidogai hasn’t wasted time. Hes attacked Jeff before hes even gotten in the ring.

(Saidogai charges forward as Dark Warrior has his back turned. The force knocks Jeff down to the floor. Saidogai doesn’t stop there as he grabs the top rope as Christianson gets back to his feet and uses it to spring himself over the top and land cross body ontop of Jeff on the out side.)

FJ: Holy Cow! Saidogai just sprung over the top rope and landed on Jeff Christianson on the floor. I didn’t think a man that size could do that.

HS: I guess he can and he did catching Jeff by surprise. Both men are on the floor now but it looks like Saidogai has gotten up first.

(Saidogai gets to his feet, grabbing DW by his hair and helping him up. Jeff catches him by surprise with a swift kick to the gut forcing Saidogai to release him and causing the fans to cheer as Jeff mounts a comeback. Jeff continues his assault trading punches with chops forcing the big man back against the apron. As Saidogai has his back to the ring, Jeff backs up a bit and runs forward driving a knee hard into the midsection.)

HS: Looks like Dark Warrior has comeback against Saidogai on the outside. Maybe he hasn’t had too much ring rust afterall.

FJ: That knee must not have felt good since Saidogai had nowhere to go and absorb the blow.

HS: These two better be careful though this isn’t a no count out match and the ref is already at four.

(The ref stands at the each of the apron and continues his count to five and six. Christianson realizes this and after a few more shots, rolls Saidogai back in the ring, following closely behind. Saidogai takes this moment to capitalize and drops a huge knee right to the back of Christianson’s head as he gets back into the ring. Saidogai looks a bit furious as he picks up the agonizing DW and whips him far side into the corner. Saidogai charges and connects with a vicious lariat. Christianson staggers backwards and Saidogai wraps his arms around his midsection and delivers a huge german suplex, sending Jeff crashing hard on the back of his neck.)

FJ: WHHAAABLAMMM.

HS: (sighs) How did I know you were going to do that? No wait don’t answer that. Lets just call the match.

(Saidogai remains on the attack, picking the hurt Christianson off the mat. He whips him against the ropes and looks to deliver another clothesline, but Christianson ducks underneath and springs off the ropes with a spinning heel kick catching Saidogai on the chin. The big man staggers back, giving Christianson a chance to follow up with a few more punches and chops, backing Saidogai into the corner. After a few more shots, Christianson hooks up Saidogai and places him on the top turnbuckle, following him up)

HS: I think its too early to try a high risk move like this. You know Dark Warrior likes the Superplexes but I don’t think Saidogai is worn out enough yet.

FJ: Looks like you called it Herb. Look at Saidogai.

(Saidogai fights back, landed hard shots to Christiansons’s head. Both are pearched up on the top as the ref below urges them down. Saidogai sees an opening and grabs Christianson around the throat.)

FJ: He’s going for the Blitzkrieg…Hes gonna end it right here.

HS: My god if he hits this its all over.

(Christianson fights back. He punches time and again and finally weakens Saidogai enough to where he hooks up the superplex and launches the big man over his head and crashes to the mat below. The crowd erupts in cheers as both men hit with a massive thud.)

FJ: WHAAAA…

HS: Don’t even start. Im serious. Im tired of you ruining a great move with your stupid sound effect or whatever it is that you are doing. Enough alright.

FJ: But?

HS: No. Now look, we missed a near fall because of you.

(The ref had counted two on Saidogai after the huge superplex. Christianson takes hold of Saidogai’s hair and picks him up off the canvas. He delivers a swift kick to the gut and drops Saidogai on his head with a DDT. The crowd is fully behind DW. As Saidogai slowly makes his way to his feet, Christianson connects again with a swinging neck breaker, sending him back down clutching his neck.)

HS: Looks like Christianson is getting a bit of payback for Saidogai’s previous attacks on his head by delivering some of his own, right Frank?

FJ: …..

HS: Oh fine you big baby, say it and get it over with.

FJ: WHHHAAABLAMMMMM!

HS: Feel better?

FJ: Yes thanks.

(In the ring, Christianson has worked over Saidogai and now the big monster looks tired and weakened. Christianson circles his weakened opponent looking for an opportunity to put this man away with his finisher, the Grapevine Anklelock. The crowd roars, sensing that the end is near.)

HS: It looks like Christianson is stalking his prey looking for an opening to lock in the Anklelock.

FJ: Saidogai better watch out. Its GRAPEVINE TIME.

(Christianson seizes the moment and grabs the leg looking to lock in the hold. Saidogai feels the ankle being grabbed and out of intstinct turns and kicks Christianson right in the face. Christianson staggers backwards, letting go of the ankle and allowing Saidogai back to his feet. Christianson rushes the big man but is met with a huge spine buster for his troubles. The crowd boos as Saidogai flexs and roars with renewed strength.)

FJ: Saidogai just blocked the Grapevine Anklelock. Did you see that kick, sent Christianson halfway across the ring.

HS: It did not. But what it did do was bye Saidogai some time and he was rewarded by hitting a huge spine buster, dropping Christianson hard on his back and neck. He really must be feeling that soreness.

FJ: Do you think we will see Brian Stevens or his buddy Onslaught here during this match?

HS: Could be. What better time for a sneak attack by that no good snake Stevens then right now when Saidogai is fully focused on his opponent.

(Saidogai flexes his fingers and circles Christianson. As Christianson gets back up, Saidogai wraps his fingers around Christianson’s neck and muscles him into the corner. He lifts Christianson up on to the top turnbuckle, his hand still around his neck. Christianson looks dazed. Saidogai lifts Christianson up in a choke slam position, but on instinct, Christianson flips off the top, causing Saidogai to release his hold as he lands on his feet. The crowd erupts as Christianson found a way out of what looked like the Blitzkrieg end. Seeing the moment, Christianson bounces off the far ropes, hurtling himself at Saidogai with another attempt at a spinning heel kick, but Saidogai was ready. He catches Christionson in mid move and hoists him up over his head displaying his power, before dropping him down in a Death Valley Driver.)

FJ: Oh god that’s it. Its back on the disabled list for the Dark Warrior.

HS: Listen to that crowd they arent to happy about this.

(The crowd boos loudly as Saidogai goes for the cover. 1...2...thr…. Christianson gets a shoulder up as the crowd roars in response. Saidogai cant believe it and argues with the ref about the count. Christianson crawls up behind Saidogai and hit’s a forearm between the legs, otherwise known as a Low Blow. The ref didn’t see it as he was arguing with Saidogai and the big man’s face turns bright red as he turns around slowly holding himself in pain.)

FJ: That was a cheap shot by Dark Warrior. The match should be over right now.

HS: What the ref doesn’t see Frank, the ref cant call. You say that yourself dozens of times.

FJ: Yeah well, he should still be disqualified.

(a few more shots at the hurt Saidogai by Christianson sends the monster realling backwards. Christianson whips him into the ropes and connects with a high knee to Saidogai’s face. He goes down and Christianson moves in for the kill. He picks Saidogai up and drops him back down again with a nice Diving reverse DDT. The crowd is going nuts as the Dark Warrior seems to have the upper hand. However as Christianson prepares to lift Saidogai up again, Saidogai drops down, sweeping the legs out from underneath the Dark Warrior. Rising to his feet, Saidogai watches Christianson struggle to get back up as well. In the blink of an eye, Saidogai’s leg lashes out and connects solidly with the face of Jeff Christianson.)

HS: There it is, that sick stiff kick to the face Saidogai calls the Breath of Fire. God did you see that.

FJ: WHAABLAMMMM right to the nose. Dark Warrior is down.

(The crowd starts booing loudly as Saidogai rolls Christianson over on his back and hooks the leg. The ref goes down and starts counting 1.…2.…3!)

FJ: So much for that comeback victory. What a welcome mat Saidogai put out for the Dark Warrior. A nice KICK TO THE HEAD.

HS: Your right Frank. Such a devastating shot delivered with surgical precision direct to Christianson’s temple, probably knocked him clean out. Well, it looks like hes moving a bit in the ring, but hes going to be feeling that for awhile. Its amazing that Saidogai can hit that move from just about anywhere so there really is little you can do to defend against it.

(We see Jeff Christianson standing in the middle of the ring. All of a sudden we hear C-Rock's theme music blare over the PA and the crowd begins to roar as C-Rock walks through the curtains. We see this has even surprised Jeff Christianson. C-Rock slaps the hands of the crowd, and even stops to pose for a picture with a 12 year old boy. He helps the boy back over the barricade and he rolls into the ring. He grabs a microphone and begins to speak.)

C-Rock: "Hello Baltimore, Maryland."

(The crowd begins to cheer as C-Rock continues.)

C-Rock: "Hello Jeff."

(We see them give a small stare down. Jeff Christianson now backs away and grabs microphone.)

DW: "If it isn't C-Rock. The man who returned on Xplosion."

(You can feel the tension in the air. C-Rock begins to speak again.)

C-Rock: "You had some choice words for me the last time I was here. You remember them, don't you?"

(The crowd now seems to remember Jeff Christianson bashing C-Rock, when he won the World Title. Jeff begins to speak again.)

DW: "Yes, I remember them quite well. You know, you just proved me right, though."

C-Rock: "Really, in what way?"

DW: "You lost the World Title... Just as I said, you just didn't make it to me. That kind of upset me."

(We now see them stare each other down again. Jeff Christianson continues to speak.)

DW: "But that's even more of a reason to welcome you back to the AWA."

(The two now embrace with a quick hug. C-Rock begins to speak.)

C-Rock: "Glad to have you back as well."

DW: "You know, since I've returned, and you've returned, there's something I think we should do."

C-Rock: "If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, then I'm thinking what I think you're thinking is a great idea."

DW: "Then let's make it official. You can make this announcement."

(C-Rock now stares out into the crowd. He flashes a quick smile as he begins to speak.)

C-Rock: "Ladies and Gentlemen, we'd like to inform you that we are reforming the team of Bad Blood. We are going to be gunning for the AWA Tag Titles that are currently held by the Immortals."

DW: "Not only that, but we won't have a contractual disagreement this time, forcing us to be stripped of the AWA tag titles. We plan on staying for at least the duration of our title reign."

("I'm Supposed to Die Tonight" blares over the PA as we go to a commercial break.)

(We return and "Sleep Now In The Fire" by Rage Against The Machine blares over the PA as red pyros go off to the left and right of the entrance ramp. On the TitanTron, we see a graphic of a longhorn's skull with ropes hanging off either horn. As the curtains part, we see The Hangman emerge. Bottle of JD in one hand, harmonica in the other, and Bible hanging around his neck, he stalks the ring before entering. Calling for a mic, he sets his bottle of JD in the middle of the ring and regards the crowd before speaking....)

HANGMAN: There are two words I want you to take with you as you go to your homes tonight. There are but two words that you need to reflect upon from this moment forward. Those two words are AGENDA and TRUTH. Say them a couple of times right now. Begin to inculcate those words into your lives because things will never be the same around here again!

(Takes a moment to regard the crowd with an arrogant sneer before continuing....)

HANGMAN: As Lori pointed out a week ago, I came back from oblivion. I would not....I could not....I NEVER WILL BE....denied. Was the road to my "recovery" hell? If only it were. Instead, I come back to this cess pool and I realize what hell on earth really is. Yet, I'm getting ahead of myself. You sheep aren't capable of advancing without me so allow me to backtrack and help you to catch up with me.

You see, before my unexpected departure at Springs and Breaks several years back....I was a bonafide HELLBRINGER. My opponents I decimated. I had a match STOPPED because of the things I did. I was suspended. Hell, I've got the blood of Mortis Valley flowing through these very veins and I drove that sorry bitch he called 'his' into a wall just because I could. Yet, therein lies the problem. That's something I couldn't understand. People called me a machine. Others called me a monster. Yet all those misnomers foreshadowed my incomprehensible confusion.

(Smiles)

HANGMAN: Then one day that stupid sumbitch Aaron Matthewson decided that he could destroy me. He believed in a lie. He wanted to make it a truth in this world that we know so bad he was willing to do everything in his power. Over 200 feet I fell into a river in Mexico that doesn't even exist on any map. With my very life in the balance, I made a discovery. That discovery was a TRUTH and it's because of that TRUTH that I am standing here before you today.

(Puts the harmonica in his coat pocket and reaches down to take a swig of JD. Then another. Nodding, he then continues...)

HANGMAN: You see, I've always fought with an AGENDA in mind. Hell, I thought I even knew what that AGENDA was. Yet, as I laid up in a hospital wondering exactly what I was going to do when I returned to the ring I glanced over and I saw....a bible. Now, most people would say they found God or forgiveness or religion or some other piece of crap. Yet, for me, I found assurance. Through those pages I found understanding. Hell, I found affirmation! Though what I thought was a simple agenda got a bit more detailed. It got...fleshed...out. Let me make this all very clear to you sheep. Your fates have already been decided. Judgement has been passed on all of you by a counsel of your peers deemed worthy enough to do so. It is my role to execute that judgement and exemplify just how dark justice can be to each and every one that crosses my path.

You people one time believed in a God. Now, for the most part, you don't. You people gathered together and formed a society. You made laws to govern your society. Now you rebel against your own laws and your own society. It's as if you don't even believe in the sanctimony of your gathering! Would you not believe in the power of harmony? Then you have left me no choice, but to use this ring and arena after arena after arena as a canvas to paint a haunting visage of your indignant disrespect! I've been given the power and the right to exist outside of any law in order to accomplish my AGENDA and to bear the TRUTH of your failure. There is nothing you can do to prevent this. There is nothing you can do to stop ME! Perhaps when your executions are over ....there may be time left to teach your children and spare them from carrying the burden of your sins. Perhaps.

(At this point, The Hangman sits the bottle of JD back down and reaches into his jacket once more. This time he pulls out a bible. Looking over it, he then turns back towards the crowd and replies...)

HANGMAN: The word is one with me and I am one with the word. May our union be made official to you now.

(Dropping the mic, The Hangman reaches back down and grabs the bottle of JD. After taking another swig, he then drenches the bible. Tossing the now empty bottle down, he reaches into his jacket one final time. Pulling out a lighter he sets the bible ablaze and opens it as if reading from it. With the book still open and burning, he stops reading to look up and we see a rope with a noose on it, descend from the rafters. As the noose comes down in front of his face, we see him sneer one final time, dropping the burning bible. Putting the noose around his own neck, we see the rope begin to draw taut and The Hangman slowly ascends to the darkening heights of the rafters, body limp in frightening visage as we go to a commercial for the "Best of Elimination Enterprises" DVD.)

HS: “Folks the Main Event of the evening tonight pit’s the US Champion against two other men.”

FJ: “Not just any men though, ‘The Icon’ John Williams, And ‘The Superstar’ Collin Baird.”

The referee makes his way down to the ring, the buff Poppa in stripe shirt as each opponent makes there way down to the match. All 3 men lock eyes with each other as Poppa says something to each one of them and the bell sounds. Baird is quick to go after Williams but he powers out of his attack after a few seconds, and then BJ makes the attack on Williams. Baird tries to get one over on Blackjack but to no avail. Williams goes for Baird but Baird gets the edge, really taking it to Williams in this thing, As Blackjack gets up and then knocks Baird down for payback. Williams goes and starts to get an edge over Blackjack, using his power to get over on the US Champion. He goes for a cover after a little bit of onslaught but Poppa is somewhat slow to make the count. Williams then gets enraged but its quickly stopped by Baird using his style to get the edge on Williams, Baird takes it to him and throws Williams to the outside.

HS: Baird seems to have the edge in this one so far, using his tactics to take advantage, must be using momentum from last week.

FJ: That’s why he’s the Superstar

Baird goes after Blackjack but Blackjack fights out of it, using his technical abilities to counter and take it to Baird. Blackjack delivers this onslaught for about a minute as Williams then gets back into the ring and breaks up a near fall attempt bridging style. Williams grabs Blackjack and throws him viciously into the corner but Baird is soon up and rolls Williams up, Poppa does the same thing, slow to the count. He explains to Baird but Baird just isn’t having it. Williams tries to get Baird from behind but Baird counters it and super kicks Williams when he sidesteps into the corner.

HS: BJ showed why he is the US Champion.

FJ: Baird is the superstar and beat him last week though

HS: true enough, they seem pretty equal here, its Williams that is surprising me.

But Blackjack is soon up and he hit’s the tenacity on Baird from behind, BJ goes for the cover, but Poppa gets “something” in his eye, and then goes for the count but Blackjack is already up just looking at Poppa as he turns around.

HS; Now that’s the third time in this match, third man, that he’s blatantly screwed with.

FJ: There’s good reasoning, there’s nothing wrong with his referee skills at all. Plain and Simple.

HS: Your not watching the same match.

Blackjack starts going face to face with Poppa when Williams comes out of the corner with a huge punch to the face, it reels blackjack back but he comes back with a stiff right back, Williams delivers a chop, and Blackjack retaliates, Williams goes for a clothesline but Blackjack ducks only to get rolled up in a small package by Baird, but Williams is quick to break it up. Blackjack is quick to his feet as he dropkicks Williams into Baird and into the corner, as Williams comes out of the corner, Blackjack leaps with The Ace of Spades, as Poppa counts a 3 count, a not so normal 3 count, but 3 count none the less.

HS; Through both men and the referee, Blackjack gets the win.

(Suddenly, acting AWA commissioner Lethal Louise appears on the AWA Tron, as we join her in her office. Louise is sitting behind her desk, smiling at the camera, as she begins to speak.)

LOUISE: "What would be your favorite TV show without your favorite AWA female?"

(The fans begin to boo as Louise points to her right ear.)

LOUISE: "Are you booing already? What? I can't hear you, I'm in my beautiful office right now! I'm not with you Baltimore scum!"

(The booing gets even louder. Louise points to a pice of paper lying in front her on the desk.)

LOUISE: "See this? This is the complete line-up for AWA Springs And Breaks, coming to you from the Charlotte Coliseum on March 27th, 2005. Now, we all know what happened last year at Springs And Breaks... and this year we are in Charlotte, North Carolina..."

(Louise sticks her finger in her throat.)

LOUISE: "Nuff said. Now, due to the recent influx of new AWA talent, Springs And Breaks will be a packed show. I am now going to announce all TWELVE matches booked. While the card is, as always, subject to change, don't expect any more matches or wrestlers to be added at this time."

FJ: "Twelve matches, that's a lot."

HS: "Well, we have the talent to justify it."

(Louise picks up the paper.)

LOUISE: "Talking about newcomers, Falk Tallin, who has just made his debut, is going to take on Johnny Hollywood. Having recently signed his contract to return to the AWA, Adrien D'Augbine is going to take on yet another newcomer, Anthem. Three more newcomers and one recent returnee will do battle in a Fatal 4-way Match, as Paul Parker takes on Marc Slayer, Schizm and Cynder."

FJ: "A lot of rookie action there."

LOUISE: "Scott Lotus calls himself the King of the Rookies, and he will get a chance to prove he is by taking on promising newcomer Thumbscrews."

HS: "Both Lotus and Thumbscrews have made their presence felt here in recent weeks and now it's them against each other."

LOUISE: "Just a few days ago on Xplosion, Cerberus was crowned the new AWA Cruiserweight Champion. At Springs And Breaks he gets to defend his newly won title for the first time, as he takes on Tragedy."

HS: "Those two already battled in that 4-way Ladder Match on Xplosion, it's only fitting to have them wrestle for the title."

LOUISE: "The tag team division slowly but surely returns to its former strength. Battling to climb up the ladder of tag team contention will be The Forces Of Nature and The Canucks. Brian Stevens and Saidogai have had a number of confrontations lately, at Springs And Breaks they will take it one step further in a First Blood Match!"

(The fans cheer the announcement of this brutal match stipulation.)

FJ: "That's to my liking!"

LOUISE: "The AWA Tag Team title will be on the line, as The Immortals get to defend their title against the recently returned team of Bad Blood. Not only have Jeff Christianson and C-Rock been AWA Tag Team Champions before, they are also both three-time United States Champions AND former World Heavyweight Champions."

(The fans cheer at the thought of seeing these four gifted athletes fighting it out over the Tag Team title.)

LOUISE: "I am not going to lose any praising words for The Hangman..."

(The fans cheer his name.)

LOUISE: "...however, I am sure that there is a man who knows what to do to hinder The Hangman returning to his previous ways. And that man is Andreas Lasiewicz!"

FJ: "What? She can't throw him to the wolves like that!"

HS: "What are you talking about, Frank?"

LOUISE: "Nathan Hawthorne-Lee has been the AWA No Limit Champion all year long. At Springs And Breaks he will have to defend the title under No Limit rules. The contract has already been signed, as NHL defends against Maxx Skabb!"

FJ: "I wonder if this will finally be enough to end their issue."

LOUISE: "BlackJack has proven to be a worthy competitor and he has finally reached the heights many feel he should have reached before. However, I fully intend to make BlackJack prove himself a little more. So on March 27th, BlackJack is going to take on three men. These three men will be "The Icon" John Williams, "The Sperstar" Colin Baird and "The Epitome Of Fitness" Poppa!"

HS: "Now that IS a challenge!"

LOUISE: "But I'm not done. This is what I call the Lethal Ladder Match! The four men will start competing against each other in tag teams decided by a toin coss. The man pinned will be eliminated. From there we will see the remaining men in a Triple Threat Match. Again, first men pinned gets eliminated. The two remaining men will battle it out in a Ladder Match for the AWA US title!"

FJ: "What a match!"

(The fans cheer this brand new concept.)

LOUISE: "And then finally, The Final Encounter. Three-time and current AWA World Champion Brian Williams is going to defend the title against the six-time former World Champion Low... HELL... IN A CELL!"

(The roof of the Baltimore Arena almost blows off at the announcement of The Final Encounter.)

HS: "We have seen at Classic what Brian Williams can do inside a cage, and we all know about Low's track record as the 2001 King Of The Kage! This is going to be huge! Anyway, AWA fans, this has been AWA Sunday Night Shock for this week, make sure to tune in to Xplosion!"

(The AWA logo appears and the scene fades to black.)
