AWA SUNDAY NIGHT SHOCK, June 5th, 2005, Detroit, MI, Cobo Arena

(The AWA logo flashes across the screen and then the Sunday Night Shock opening video plays. We cut straight into the arena where "I'm Going Out," by Mobb Deep hits the PA and Bad Blood make their way to the ring with the AWA Tag Team Championships around their waists. The Immortals are set to come out now and both men come out to the Atlas theme with Atlas' general pyro and lighting, only an Immortals viginet plays on the AWATron instead.)

(C-Rock and Atlas have agreed to start this match and the bell has rung. C-Rock and Atlas lock up and Atlas gets the upper hand and delivers an arm drag takedown. C-Rock gets right up and charges Atlas who hits C-Rock with a drop toe hold. With C-Rock on the mat, Atlas applies a front face lock, keeping Atlas on the mat. C-Rock stands up and forces Atlas to break the hold.)

(C-Rock bounces off the ropes and hits a running clothesline on Atlas. C-Rock picks up Atlas off the mtach and performs a side suplex on Atlas. With Atlas on the mat, C-Rock tags in Jeff Christianson. The Dark Warrior picks up Atlas off the mat and whips him into the ropes. On his way back, Christianson hits spinebuster on Atlas. Jeff gets up and charges Apollo's corner and knocks him off the apron. Apollo enters the ring, but the referee stops him from doing so. C-Rock hops into the ring and hits his vertical suplex on Atlas. Jeff Christianson hops on the top turnbuckle and performs his Fake Out frog splash, his patented leg drop, and the leg drops cleanly across the throat of Atlas. C-Rock rolls into his corner and the referee turns around to see Jeff Christianson pinning Atlas. ONE...TWO..- Atlas kicksout just before the three can hit.)

(The Dark Warrior picks up Atlas from the mat and hits him with a straight right hand. Jeff hits him with some knife edge chops and sends Atlas down to the mat with a spinning wheel kick. Jeff runs towards Apollo again and punches him in the face. Apollo enters the ring and hits him with an arm drag. C-Rock enters the ring and knocks Apollo the ground and wrestles him out of the ring.)

(Atlas rolls to his feet and picks up the downed Christianson. He waits for Jeff to get to his feet and he spears him to the mat. Atlas picks up Jeff and the two lock up again. Jeff overpowers Atlas and nails a dragon suplex. With Atlas on the mat, Jeff hops onto the top turnbuckle and jumps off, nailing the High Death on Atlas. Jeff rolls off Atlas and locks in his Grapevine Anklelock. Atlas is crying out in pain, trying to reach the ropes, but he can't. Apollo is being occupied and distracted by C-Rock, who is keeping the large Greek out of the ring. Atlas cries out in pain and starts to tap out, giving in to the submission move.)

HS: "And Bad Blood manage to keep their Tag Team Championships, keeping the Immortals away from another taste of tag team gold."

FJ: "That was a cool match, good thing Jeff Christianson made Atlas tap out, because I don't think a pinfall would have happened."

(We return from commercial as the first beats of "Tilt" start playing, the arena goes completely dark. With each beat, the ENTIRE arena lights go on, then off. Low steps out from the back. He walks down the ramp, barely acknowledging the fans - unlike the jawing he did with them in the past. Low walks up the ringsteps and then steps into the ring. Low heads to his corner and crosses his arms and stares down his opposition as they make their way to the ring)

(The lights go out as "Daylight Dancer" by Lacuna Coil starts to play. One light flashes at the entrance ramp as smoke builds up there. As the vocals start, the silhouette of the Sadistic Jester appears in the smoke. As the music picks up, strobes around the arena flash and Schizm emerges from the smoke, laughing hysterically. He looks around the arena, not responding to the jeers of the crowd and walks down the ramp slowly. Schizm slides into the ring and climbs onto the corner turnbuckle and lets out a burst of maniacal laughter. Schizm looks over at Low and jumps off of the turnbuckle. Schizm mocks his opponent and pretends to act scared.)

(The house lights dim as white lights strobe as the beginning of "Am I Evil?" by Diamond Head blares throughout the arena. After a few second, red begins to strobe as NHL walks out from the back curtain. As he comes out through the curtain, he spits out water from his mouth and he stands under the red strobe, leaving a hideously evil look about his face. A few seconds later, he starts towards the ring, with Sarah Hawthorne slowly following behind her now deranged husband, Henry. As NHL slowly makes his way to the ring, he ignores the jeers and boos from the crowd as he walks gets near to the ring. He ascends the ring steps and heads into the ring through the top and middle ropes. Sarah steps in through the bottom and middle ropes as she looks on as her husband stands on the bottom rope, pointing to the crowd and cursing the people at ringside. NHL turns and stares coldly at both his opponents…)

(The bell rings and all three men are a bit hesitant to get the action started. Schizm is the first out of his corner and he quickly charges at Low, trying to sweep the legs out from underneath the Former seven-time World Heavyweight Champion with his arms. Low quickly sidesteps the attacking Schizm and quickly fires back with a few stiff kicks to the skull. NHL laughs to himself and shakes his head at the foolish approach by Schizm.)

(NHL cautiously sneaks up behind Low, who is bringing the groggy Schizm to his feet, and in one quick movement, NHL wraps his arms around the waist of Low and delivers a very nice back drop driver. Low, how just landed hard on his head, is slow to pull himself from the mat. NHL stalks the fallen Low and smirks.)

(From behind, though. Schizm quickly strikes NHL with a dropkick to the knee. NHL falls to one knee and turns towards his attacker to see who it was. Schizm quickly follows up with a sprinting drop kick to the face of NHL. Schizm falls to the ground and starts laughing and holding his gut and kicking the mat with his feet, much like a child.)

(Schizm tip toes over to Low, perhaps seeking revenge for the kicks to the face earlier in the contest. Schizm takes Low and drags him to his feet by his ears of all things. Low gains his base and Schizm slaps Low, a huge insult to the Hall of Famer.)

(Schizm follows a reeling Low, and starts playfully getting in this face of Low and mocking him with some choice words which we are not privy to. Schizm follows Low into the corner, which Low has retreated to, perhaps for safety. Schizm slaps Low a second time and the ref calls for a rope break, which Schizm heeds. Schizm puts both hands up, as if to give Low a clean break.)

(Low charges out from the corner, absolutely infuriated at the actions and disrespect shown by Schizm. Low goes for a spear, but Schizm quickly leap frogs his assailant and double stomps Low on the back of the skull.)

(Schizm follows up by dragging Low up, this time by the nose. Schizm is heard laughing as he takes Low and violently tosses him over the top rope and down to the floor below. Low is shown holding his nose as a little bit of blood has begun to trickle out.)

(Schizm tilts his head at Low, mocking him to see if he is alright? Schizm hit’s the ropes and rebounds to the opposite side, where he springboards himself from the second rope and performs a truly awesome moonsault from the ring to the floor on a now bloody Low.)

(Schizm raises his arms in celebration and taunts his fallen opponent. Schizm, however, has forgotten all about his other opponent in the contest, the nasty and vile Nathaniel Henry-Lee. NHL has had plenty of time to recover from the devastating dropkick to the face from earlier and looks to cash in his receipt on Schizm. NHL hit’s the ropes and rebounds quickly in the direction of the prone and inattentive Schizm. NHL suicide dives between the top and middle ropes and catches the head of Schizm and amazingly drives the skull of Schizm to the floor with a face buster. A truly innovative maneuver.)

(NHL gets up a little slow from a rare high risk maneuver and starts jawing with the fans. NHL doesn’t let this go on for long as he follows up on Schizm, as he Irish Whips him into the steel barricade at ringside. Schizm looks dazed, and perhaps out for the count…but that doesn’t stop the onslaught from NHL as he follows up with a running high knee smash to the cranium of his rival. This sends Schizm to the floor again, this time the jester is holding his skull as a result from the sick knee strike he just endured.)

(NHL brings Schizm to his feet and brings his foe back into the squared circle. NHL follows up quickly with blatant choke and holds it until the four count. NHL argues with the ref briefly and begins waiting for Schizm to get to his feet. Once he is up, NHL charges at Schizm and hit’s a beautiful Neckbreaker. NHL goes for the cover and get only a two count.)

(NHL once again follows up by arguing with the ref. The ref starts getting into the face of Nathaniel and points out that HE is the official and not NHL and that it was definitely only a two count. In this time, though, Schizm developed a second wind and was lying in wait for Henry. The Schizmatic Genius nails a beautifully mastered Running Gag.Schizm follows up with a standing No Laughing Matter which draws many gasps from fans in the audience.)

(Schizm goes for the cover and gets only a two count. Schizm pounds the mat in frustration and goes back to work on NHL with some stiff clubbing forearms to the back of the skull. We briefly switch camera angles and we see Low is on the outside of the ring holding his nose still, which is still bleeding. Low looks more angry than hurt, but he is bidding his time on the outside of the ring. The ref has forgotten about him, hence a count out has not been administered.)

(As we go back to the action in the ring, we see Schizm is mounted on the top rope, awaiting the unsuspecting NHL. Henry doesn’t see anyone in the ring once he is coherent and begins looking around the ring. Once he turns towards Schizm, NHL gets nailed with an absolutely stunning Frankenjester, which he brings into a pin. Low scrambles back into the ring and breaks up the pin, which only got to a two counts.)

(A very angry Low immediately tosses NHL into the corner, but doesn’t follow up, as Low is dead set on destroying Schizm. Low stomps away at the already weakened skull of Schizm, attacking with stiff kicks. Low wait’s a second for Schizm to attempt to get up, and then follows up with a running kick to the face, which sends Schizm to the mat hard. Low smiles and slowly drags Schizm to his feet. Low delivers a very impressive jumping piledriver on Schizm, and pushes the limp carcass of his opponent away from him in disgust.)

(Low heads over to the corner of NHL, and starts talking trash. Low punches NHL 5 times to the face and follows up with a few kicks to the sternum. Low smiles, and with the blood from his nose still trickling, he looks sadistic. Low hits NHL with a back elbow and the ref tells Low to bring the action out of the corner. Low is reluctant but begins to comply…but he is dropkicked from behind by Schizm. The dropkick briefly stuns Low as he turns towards Schizm and charges. The hot temper of Low once again gets the better of him as he runs right into a Schizam! By Schizm. Low tries to get to his feet, but Schizm uses Low as a springboard and charges at NHL, nailing NHL with a spinning wheel kick.)

(The momentum from the prior move has left Schizm on the ring apron. Schizm moves to line up Low, and once he does, he springboard to his target…but in a very awe inspiring moment, Low catches the Sadistic Jester and turns his momentum into a Northern Lights Bomb. Low goes for the pin, but only gets a two count when NHL breaks up the pin. NHL chooses to attack Low after the pinfall attempt, bringing the Legend to his feet in delivering a very beautiful Implant DDT. NHL looks to follow up in a big way and he heads to the top rope. With Low still down from the Implant DDT, NHL flies and hit’s a gorgeous flying elbow drop and immediately goes for the cover.)

(Schizm somehow is able to break up the pin attempt and starts stomping away at NHL. Henry gets to his feet, despite the stomping and tries to fend off Schizm. Schizm sends NHL to the ropes and looks to follow up with a clothesline, but NHL counters and sends Schizm over the top rope with a back body drop. We hear a sickening thud as Schizm body hit’s the ground below.NHL signals that this is the end of the contest and goes over to the barely moving Low. Low, though, was playing possum and clothesline the taunting NHL with a stiff shot. NHL quickly snaps back up to his feet and ducks a second clothesline attempt by Low and spins Low around. NHL boots Low in the gut and takes Low up in a attempt at his Slapshot finisher, but the Legendary Low shifts his weight and solidly connects with the Low Stunner. Low immediately goes for a cover and picks up the three count and the win!)

(We cut to a graphic that says 'In The Beginning...'

We go to Classic 2001, where we see King Chozen taking on and defeating The Pheonix in a Torture Chamber Cage Match...

The next graphic says 'Then...'

We go to early 2002, where King Chozen defeated Jason Dread to win the AWA US title. This is followed by more scenes from 2002, including King Chozen wrestling and nearly defeating Low, Chozen Spearing Ramona A. Stone, followed by his 2004 AWA Tag Team title victory alongside Jaeger Khrushchev over Jayson Price and Low, as well as some scenes from his last pay-per-view match against Low at Wrestlefest VI...

The final graphic says 'Now...')

VOICE: "He is The King... King F'n Chozen... and he returns... next week... on Shock!"

(We go to a video package, highlighting what led to the US Underground Match for the AWA US title. We are taken back to Friday the 13th, where President Gray vacated all AWA titles, including the US title. We're taken to Revelations, where Whisper walked out of his match, allowing the previous US Champion John Williams to qualify. We then go to Xplosion, where Nathaniel Henry Lee decided to lay down for Brian Stevens, allowing him to qualify and forming a new alliance. Then we go back one week to Shock, where Andreas Lasiewicz defeated Jeff Christianson for the third time, and also where The Hangman defeated Schizm to become the fourth wrestler entering this match. We then see highlights from the reigns of former AWA US Champions such as Weston Steel, Lars Fredrickson, C-Rock, Dave Santini, Low, Mortis Valley, Jeff Christianson, Jack Happy and Bryan Peek. We then go back into Cobo Arena.)

(“Open Your Eyes“ by Alter Bridge begins to play and the two-time former US Champion John Williams makes his way down the ramp. He arrogantly stares at several fans before sliding into the ring and awaiting his opponents.)

(The lights dim in the arena and the spotlights focus on the entrance ramp as ‘The Color of Money’ by Bury Your Dead hits over the P.A. system. The fans immediately react to the opening riff as they greet the superstar with a chorus of heckling and profanity. Brian Stevens emerges atop the entrance ramp after the intro of the song plays itself out. Stevens simply stands on top of the ramp, looking down on the people who are screaming obscenities towards him. Stevens raises his arms and, from the backstage entrance, his manager and long time girlfriend Jessica Kassle emerges and wraps her arms around the waist of her talent. Seconds later, the best friend of ‘The Sensation’ emerges from the back with a smirk on his face... that man is the seven foot monster, Onslaught. They proceed to the ring, to the dismay of the fans. The lovers don’t acknowledge the hatred emitting from the audience while Onslaught makes smart ass comments to the jawing fans. Stevens slides into the ring as Kassle takes the steps onto the ring apron. Stevens holds the ropes open for her, and she enters between the top and middle rope. Onslaught grabs the top rope and pulls himself up to the ring apron and proceeds to step over the top tope. Stevens hits all sides of the ring, standing on the middle rope and balancing himself on the top rope with his legs. Stevens raises his arms and jaws with the fans a bit. Jessica is at the opposite side of the ring while this is happening, glancing into the crowd and resting her arms on the top rope, occasionally yelling at fans of the AWA. Onslaught simply rests in one of the corners of the ring nonchalantly. Stevens and Kassle eventually retreat to the corner of the ring Onslaught is in and await their competition while talking strategy.)

(The referee, however, tells Jessica and Onslaught to leave the ringside area, for concerns about Jessica's well-being, and for concerns about Onslaught possibly interfering in this free-for-all. Throwing a fit, they both finally do as the referee says and walk to the back.)

(The arena darkens slowly. An air siren begins to sound, with green spotlights shooting in all directions as an infamous slogan is revealed on the big screen:

COME N' PLACE YA BETS!!

"Welcome to the Jungle" suddenly thunders from the P.A system. The Gambit steps out from behind the curtain, a traditional cigarette in his mouth as he stalks his way down to the ring, and he cracks a cheeky grin at the hideous reaction from the crowd. He circles the ring, rolls in and stands on the turnbuckle surveying the fans with a Cheshire Cat grin. He hops off and stops for a minute receiving the reaction of all the fans. He then walks slowly over to the top rope before perching himself on the top rope raising his right arm in the air as the crowd boos and screams.)

(“Sleep Now In The Fire“ by Rage Against The Machine begins to play and a picture of a longhorn skull appears on the TitanTron with a rope hanging off of each horn, ending in a hangman's noose. Red pyros go off as The Hangman parts the curtains and methodically makes his way down the ramp, stopping every so often to sneer ominously into the masses. Once inside the ring, The Hangman takes off his hat and places the chain with the bible over one of the steel turnbuckle posts. After taking a moment, to regard his opponents, The Hangman then removes his black vest, clenching and releasing his hands anxiously.)

(The referee calls for the bell and Lasiewicz immediately storms towards Hangman, while Williams and Stevens lock up. Lasiewicz and Hangman are exchanging wild lefts and rights, while Williams and Stevens exchange knife edge chops. Williams seems to get the advantage, but Stevens counters with a knee to Williams' midsection. He amazes the crowd as he connects with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex on the much larger Williams, sending him over the top rope and out of the ring. Hangman has gained the advantage over Lasiewicz, but Stevens is quickly there, reigning forearms down on Hangman's massive back. Cooperating briefly, Lasiewicz and Stevens take turns hitting Hangman with knife edge chops. They stagger him against the ropes, then Irish whip him across the ring, and send him upside down with a huge backdrop. They then pull him up, hook his head and send him up and down again with a double vertical suplex.)

(As Lasiewicz begins to apply the Four Card Trick, Stevens nails him with a beautiful dropkick, sending the Pole to the mat. Stevens waits for Lasiewicz to get to his feet again. He charges Lasiewicz and connects with a nasty Yakuza kick. Stevens doesn't waste any time as he pulls Lasiewicz up and applies the Dead Sensation. As Lasiewicz tries to reach the ropes to assist him struggling free, Stevens drops down to the mat and puts his legs around Lasiewicz' waist, looking to choke him out. Hangman, however, more or less intentionally saves Lasiewicz by hitting a legdrop across Stevens' face. Hangman then pulls Stevens up and nails him with a huge power bomb, knocking the wind straight out of him. Lasiewicz is showing effects from the Dead Sensation, as Hangman pulls his almost limp body up. Hangman then applies the clawhold, obviously going for the Southern Comfort Slam, however John Williams has returned to the ring and nails Hangman with a powerful running clothesline, sending him to the mat.)

(Williams takes control as he Irish whips Hangman into the corner. He follows with a corner clothesline. Hen he hooks Hangman's head in a dragon sleeper, jumps off the second rope and hits Time To Shine. Williams then walks over to Stevens and starts stomping him, while Lasiewicz has recovered enough to apply the Four Card Trick on Hangman! Hangman, however, musters enough strength to kick Lasiewicz off, sending him head first into the turnbuckle. Hangman gets up and pulls Williams off of Stevens, sending him down with a big spinebuster. Hangman then pulls Stevens up and lifts him up, holding him several seconds in a vertical position, before sending him down with a vertical suplex.)

(Hangman now looks for Lasiewicz, who has fallen through the ropes and to the outside. Hangman follows him and starts laying the boots to him. In the ring, both Williams and Stevens have gotten up to their feet, exchanging chops and blows, with neither man getting the upper hand. Meanwhile on the outside, Lasiewicz has gotten the upper hand with a well-placed low blow. He grabs Hangman and sends his head into the steel ringpost. Hangman staggers, but doesn't go down. Lasiewicz grabs him and then throws him onto the announcers' table, sending Herb and Frank running. Lasiewicz follows Hangman onto the table and starts punching away at him.)

(In the ring, Williams has taken charge after nailing Stevens with a boot to the face and then applying the Canadian Maple Leaf. Stevens, though, is able to grab one of Williams' ankles, pulling it and causing Williams to lose balance and falling to the ground. Stevens pulls himself up using the ropes for help. As Williams comes running at him, he ducks and backdrops him over the top rope and to the outside. As Williams gets back to his feet, Stevens jumps to the top rope and hits a springboard clothesline to the outside, sending him and Williams onto the steel ramp. On the other side, Lasiewicz attempts to piledrive Hangman through the announce table, but Hangman is just too big and heavy. He counters with a backdrop, sending Lasiewicz through the table. All four men are down.)

(We come back from the commercial break and all four men are brawling with each other on the steel ramp, making their way up to the top. Williams picks up Stevens and hits a fallaway slam onto the ramp, once again knocking the wind out of Stevens. Meanwhile Lasiewicz gets an advantage over Hangman, pushing him into the heavy steel of the Sunday Night Shock set, seemingly knocking him out for a few moments. Williams walks over to Lasiewicz and rams him back first into the set. Williams charges and goes for a running back elbow, but Lasiewicz ducks and Williams hits the set himself. As Williams staggers towards him, Lasiewicz goes for the Polish Hammer, but this time Williams ducks and applies a full nelson on Lasiewicz. Williams walks Lasiewicz over towards the edge of the set, signalling to the crowd he is going to slam Lasiewicz off the ramp and onto the concrete floor several feet down. Lasiewicz, however, frees himself with a mule kick into Williams' groin, staggering him. Lasiewicz takes a few steps back and then runs at Williams, nailing him with the Polish Hammer and sending him down the ramp, causing him to land on the concrete with a sickening thud!)

(Officials and EMTs immediately come out from the back and run down the ramp to where Williams is lying without a motion. Lasiewicz watches the happenings down there with a slight smile, but as he turns around, Hangman grabs him by the throat, ready to choke slam him off the stage as well. This time it is Stevens who connects with a low blow, though, freeing Lasiewicz from Hangman's grip. But Hangman only turns around and stares right through Stevens, who immediately realizes he has made a mistake and backs up. The two make their way past the curtain and to the back, closely followed by Lasiewicz. Stevens now walks quickly through the small gangways, followed by his two opponents, before ending up in the catering area. Stevens starts grabbing food that is placed on the tables, throwing it at Hangman. Hangman is successful moving out of the way each time, but finally Stevens hits him right in the face with an egg. Lasiewicz, who was observing the action from a few feet afar, suddenly starts laughing as Hangman wipes the remains of the egg out of his face.)

(Lasiewicz quickly stops laughing as Hangman charges him and connects with a clothesline from hell. Stevens walks towards one of the hallways and tries opening several doors, but they are all locked. Hangman is in hot pursuit of Stevens. Finally Stevens finds a door that opens and he walks into the room. Before the camera can catch up we hear a woman screaming. As Hangman and the camera man catch up and enter the room as well, we realize that we are in the dressing room of Sarah Hawthorne, who is barely covering her 'goods' with a white towel, screaming for them to get out of her room. Hangman, however, nails Stevens with a big boot, sending him against the concrete wall. He then grabs Stevens and slams him through the mirror hanging on the wall, shattering the mirror into a million pieces and opening a huge wound on Stevens' forehead.)

(Hangman now walks Stevens into the shower room, leaving a trail on blood on the white floor tiles. Hangman slams Stevens' head first against the wall, splattering some more blood on the white wall and leaving a huge blood stain on it. Hangman then turns around the water tap and we can see that the water is very hot, as it only takes a few seconds until we can hardly see anything due to all the steam in the room. Hangman now pulls Stevens towards him and drags him under the hot water. As blood is washed down the white ground and the drain, Stevens screams in agony, as the hot water burns his chest and the wound on his forehead. A second camera comes up and we see Lasiewicz watching Hangman and Stevens from outside the dressing room of the still half-naked Sarah Hawthorne. However, he quickly takes off and pulls the camera man with him, as several officials try to pull Hangman off of Stevens. EMTs arrive at the scene and tend to Stevens, as Hangman slowly walks out of the dressing room. He screams for Lasiewicz, but Lasiewicz doesn't answer. Instead, one of the officials tells Hangman that Lasiewicz is on his way to the boiler room. Hangman immediately takes off after Lasiewicz.)

(We cut into the boiler room where we see the shiny US title belt hanging from the rafters. The camera pans around and we see the ladder leaning against a wall. The camera pans across the entire boiler room and on the other side of the room, we see the closed door. We hear somebody making noises and suddenly, the door opens and Lasiewicz walks into the boiler room. He stumbles through the room, totally out of breath, walking over to where the ladder stands. He takes the ladder and pulls it through the boiler room to where the belt is hanging. Lasiewicz is obviously exhausted and nervous, as he has problems putting up the ladder. He finally succeeds and starts climbing it, when suddenly The Hangman walks through the door, yelling for Lasiewicz. Lasiewicz tries to climb faster, but he missteps and almost falls off the ladder. He regains his footing and makes his way up, almost reaching the belt, but The Hangman prevents him from pulling it off by grabbing his ankle.)

(Hangman grabs the ladder and with his incredible strength is able to topple it, sending Lasiewicz all the way down and into a pile of cardboard boxes. Hangman is quick to pick up the ladder and place it beneath the belt. He starts climbing the ladder himself, and Hangman is successful in grabbing the belt. He pulls the belt off and starts climbing down the ladder. TWACK! Lasiewicz nails Hangman right across the back with a steel chair, causing him to drop the belt down the ground. TWACK! A second chair shot across the back stuns Hangman. Lasiewicz now climbs the ladder on the other side, the chair still in his hand. As he reaches the top, he picks up the chair and nails Hangman across the head, causing Hangman to fall off the ladder and onto the concrete floor.)

(Lasiewicz climbs to the top of the ladder and in an uncharacteristic move comes flying off the ladder with a splash onto the grounded Hangman! Hangman seems to be almost out of it, but Lasiewicz also grabs his knees and yells, as he obviously hurt himself coming off the ladder. Lasiewicz grabs the US title belt and slowly crawls towards the boiler room door, which is still several feet away from him. As he gets nearer, though, he suddenly gets pulled back as The Hangman has grabbed him by the ankle. Hangman is finally able to mount Lasiewicz and starts nailing his face with nasty forearms. We see bruises appearing in Lasiewicz' face, as well as a trickle of blood coming out of his nose. Hangman finally pulls the US title belt away from Lasiewicz and starts walking towards the door.)

(This time, though, Lasiewicz is able to grab Hangman's ankle. Lasiewicz yells his opponents' name and as Hangman turns around, Lasiewicz greets him by spitting him right into the face! Hangman briefly closes his eyes, obviously in rage. Just as he opens them, he is met by a loud open handed slap from Lasiewicz. Hangman now explodes in anger as he nails Lasiewicz with the title belt, sending him to the ground. Hangman follows this up by ramming the belt into Lasiewicz' face as he is on the ground, opening him up as well. With blood flowing down the Lasiewicz' face, Hangman pulls him up and slams him head first into the concrete wall, then into the ladder, toppling it. Hangman then picks up the chair and nails Lasiewicz across the head, sending him to the ground.)

(Lasiewicz is now back up from Hangman, crawling on the ground and asking him to stop the punishment, but Hangman doesn't want to hear any of it. He drops to his knees and nails Lasiewicz with the belt once again. Lasiewicz is able to get to his feet, and again Hangman hits him across the head. Lasiewicz spins around and leans against the wall, right next to the closed boiler room door. Hangman nails him again, crushing the Pole's head between the belt and the wall. Lasiewicz screams in pain and turns around all along the wall, leaving behind another trace of blood. As Hangman goes to hit him with the belt again, Lasiewicz is finally able to block the attack by grabbing the title belt. Lasiewicz tries to pull the belt out of Hangman's hands, but is unsuccessful as there is too little space between Hangman and the door. Lasiewicz tries pulling the belt out of Hangman's hand a second time and just as he slams back first against the door, the door opens courtesy of Schizm, who is standing there alongside the referee! Lasiewicz falls down to the ground and out of the boiler room, the belt still in his hand and the referee declares him the winner!)

(Hangman's face turns into a mask of rage and anger, but Schizm quickly slams the door shut and we can hear him locking it. Hangman starts screaming in anger and picks up every object he can get his hands on, throwing it through the boiler room. He starts punching away at the door. A second camera shows Schizm helping up the new United States Champion Andreas Lasiewicz. We can see The Hangman punching dents into the door and as the Carnival members see this, they quickly make their way out of there, as the copyright logo appears.)
