Onslaught (1/12/06)

[Adzer]

The Onslaught video package plays across the screen, interlacing past matches and profiles of some of the major players of Onslaught while "Best of You" youtube.com/watch?v=Pd_p1A7WVNs plays. When the intro is finished the usual pyro shoots up and the camera pans across an excited audience in Toronto, Canada.

Josh Mathews: "Toronto, Ontario, Canada is braced for Onslaught, tonight we have 3 big matches for you, including a Global Championship title match"

The camera cuts to the announce team sitting at ringside

Dean Malenko: "Not only that, but this match isn't just an ordinary match, it's taking place inside a 15 foot steel cage!!"

The camera cuts to show the cage above the ring with lights highlighting it, the crowd erupt at the site of the huge structure

Josh Mathews: "Also tonight we have Shawn Greene in action again, against Adam Matthews and we've been told that JD Wheeler is in the building.

Dean Malenko: "This one is going to be very interesting Josh"

Josh Mathews: "Tag team action coming your way too as the champions Team Punishment have a non title bout with The New Breed.

Dean Malenko: "These two teams are no strangers to each other each has scored a victory over the other in past matches, if The New Breed can score a win here it will do wonders for their championship hopes"

Josh Mathews: "Well Ladies and Gentleman, we are all set.... Onslaught starts NOW!!"

[Adzer]

Dean Stewart spots the World Tag Team Champions, Shane Paul and Kid Cougar. He approaches them with his interview equipment and they agree to give a pre-match interview.

Dean: Is there anything you would like to say before we start things?

Cougar: You know what Dean, I do. All I have to say is we are the champions. We have proven this time and time again. He won the belts in a massacre of a turmoil match. We then defended them not once, but twice. The second time it was a handicap match for about ninety percent of the time. We are confident in our team work and our ring skills.

Dean: What do you think sparked this recent success?

Shane: You know why we are so successful? Firstly we work really hard. We work hard on our ring skills and our fitness. But more importantly it’s because of trust. We trust each other full heartily. When I was stuck in that hell of a handicap match at Brutal Encounter things looked bleak for Team Punishment and our title run. But guess what, out of the shadows my ring brother Kid Cougar came. He was battered and bruised, but he came anyway. Without him, I don’t think we could have won.

Dean: So the higher ups have said that if the New Breed defeats you guys tonight, they will seriously be considered major contenders for those tag belts you covet so much. How do you feel about that information?

Cougar: The New Breed thinks they are contenders, the higher ups think they can become contenders. Hate to break it to you guys, but in our books you ain’t contenders. And after we defeat them tonight, we won’t ever have to face them again.

Dean: Just to finish things up here. Recently your tag team has been getting quite a few cheers from the crowd. That is a drastic change from the raging boos. How do you feel about that?

Shane: You know what Dean; we are the same now as we were when we first got into CCW. We haven’t changed. But you know what, maybe the crowd is starting to understand, how hard we work. How much we put into this business and what we sacrifice. But to answer your question Dean, I don’t give a fuck if they cheer or not, the fact is I give a fuck about how I perform in the ring, and about these belts around our waist.

With that, Shane Paul and Kid Cougar walk off seemingly to get ready for their match as the camera fades to black.

[Adzer]

The camera pans over the Toronto crowd and briefly up to the Cage above the ring before cutting to the ring announce team

Mathews: "Ladies and Gentleman we have some great tag action for you next, but first we would just like to tell you about last weeks announcement that was meant to happen, we have gotten word that Bret Hart was unable to do his speech due to family matters, but will do it this coming Monday on Unleashed"

Malenko: "We all know what it is, but we can't say unfortunately, but we are positive it will satisfy CCW fans"

"Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss" by the Bloodhound Gang hits the speakers and the camera cuts to the stage as the lights darken, after a few moments we see The New Breed O.M.M coming out flanked by a load of photographers, they strut their way to the top of the ramp and stop for a photo opportunity for both the paparazzi surrounding them and the fans at ringside.

Bruce Buffer: "Ladies and Gentleman, the following contest is a non-title tag team match and is scheduled for a one fall, making their way to the ring first.... from Hollywood, California.... weighing in at a combined weight of 582 pounds.... Kyle Black and Ace.... The New Breed!!"

T.N.B.O.M.M make their way down the ramp to the ring, taking it in turn to enter the ring, with Kyle leading the way, after giving the fans another chance to take pictures, they start talking to each other, discussing the upcoming match, their music fades out, “Hells Bells” by AC/DC takes it's place, a mixed reaction comes from the crowd as the current Tag Team Champions make their way out on stage, they glance over at the fans either side for a moment before continuing down the ramp towards the ring.

Bruce Buffer: "And their opponents from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.... Weighing in at a combined weight of 601 pounds.... they are the CCW World Tag Team Champions.... Shane Paul and Kid Cougar.... Team Punishment!!"

Mathews: "No matter how much they may hate to say it, but these two teams are actually very alike, they both have a quick, agile and fast member of the team in Ace and Kid Cougar and then they both have the larger, brute muscle of the team in Kyle Black and Shane Paul"

Malenko: "But one thing they do vary in, is tactics, Team Punishment will do anything for the win, even if it means nearly killing the other opponent, but The New Breed use their heads in matches and try and win the match through intelligence"

At the mention of their name both men climb into the ring and immeadiately get into Ace and Black's faces, the two teams exchange some heated words and eventually the referee breaks up the two teams sending Teamp Punishment back to their corner, the New Breed decide who will start the match and it's Ace, Team Punishment spend a few moments talking before the referee has to get them to select a starting man, they go with Cougar, Shane Paul and Kyle Black exit the ring and take their places on the ring apron, Ace and Cougar warm up on their own sides of the ring before slowly heading towards each other.

Straight off the mark Ace goes for a Clothesline, but Cougar easily ducks it and turns himself around to grab Ace by the neck and drag him down to the mat. Ace goes to get back up but Cougar like his name suggests is onto him like a wild cat, he punches the "Male Model" senseless until the referee forces him back, Ace backs up to his corner and uses the ropes to help him back to his feet, Kyle asks him to tag but Ace doesn't want to, he nurses his face for a moment and heads back to Cougar who is pacing from side to side in a warmup kind of manner, Ace approches him slowly looking for a grapple, Cougar complies with this and goes for a grapple roo, the two men meet head on, a little over halfway on Team Punishment's side of the ring, Ace uses his strength to push Cougar back to his own corner, Paul puts his hands up to the ref to show he isn't doing anything Cougar twists his body to Ace into the corner, Paul then slyly knees the back of Ace to take his focus off Cougar, Black then starts shouting at the referee to see what he did, but this just takes the ref's attention away from Team P's corner, allowing both of them to attack Ace.

Mathews: "Ah come on ref, look at this"

Malenko: "I told you they use different tactics"

Mathews: "But that's just blind cheating"

Malenko: "Do what you gotta do to win"

Cougar goes to whip Ace back to his corner while Paul holds onto the neck of the New Breed member, so when Cougar pulls away at Ace's arm, the hold on Ace's neck has the effect of a huge neckbreaker, Ace falls down to the mat holding his neck as Team Punishment make a tag which the referee turns back to see, Shane Paul enters the match and doesn't give Ace any time to rest, he raises the Californian to his feet and brings him to the ropes to whip him across the ring, on the return Paul lifts the boot and slams it right into the temple of Ace, Black tries to enter the ring but gets stopped by the referee which allows Paul enough time to choke out Ace's neck with his boot. Team Punishment make another tag, Shane Paul stays out to hold Ace's legs, while Cougar goes up to the top rope and lands a Legdrop onto the head of Ace, he goes for a cover.

No! Kyle Black manages to break up the fall, Shane Paul gets back into the ring to try and trade shots with Black but the referee stops him and sends him back to his corner, Cougar continues with his attack on Ace by locking in a Juji-Gatame Armbar, he pulls on Ace's arm hard and crosses his legs to further prevent Ace from escaping, Kyle Black again tries to save his partner but the referee stops him, giving Cougar a chance to grab the ropes and tighten the hold, the referee turns back around and Cougar lets go of the rope, Kyle starts clapping for his teammate to get back to his feet but he can't so he looks to grab a nearby rope, Ace edges over to it but can't quite reach it, just as he is about to break the count, Cougar rolls back putting Ace in a pinning predicament, Black goes for the save but Shane Paul stops him with a Spear, Cougar grabs Ace's tights.

Cougar jumps to his feet in victory but both members of Team P exit the ring when Kyle Black gets back to his feet, the stand at the announcers table for a moment, as Black checks on his partner

Mathews: "What? It's over already? I can't believe they have won by these methods, it's a disgrace."

Bruce Buffer: "And here are your winners.... Team Punishment!!"

Malenko: "Well the referee didn't see the tights were being held, so the win counts"

Upon hearing Mathews comments Team Punishment turn around and look at Mathews who now looks like he's shit his pants, Team P decide to have a little fun shout at him to stand up, scared out of his wits, he complies, while Kid Cougar keeps Josh's attention by holding his face and saying words to him Shane Paul sneakily takes Josh's chair from behind him, Cougar gets one of the glasses of water on the table and throws it over Mathews, Shane Paul shouts at him to sit back down, which Mathews immeadiately does but seeing as theres no chair there, he falls to the floor.

Seeing enough, Kyle Black and a now recovered Ace exit the ring and head over to Team P, Paul and Cougar now prevented from escape back up towards the announce table again as the New Breed approach each of them from either side of the ring, Team P look at each other and nod as they wait for The New Breed to be close enough and they simultaneously hit the New Breed with the Tag Team belts, happy with their days work they head up to the ramp again to Hells Bells, proudly displaying their tag belts

[Adzer]

The entrance music of Unleashed General Manager, Bret Hart, hits the arena, bringing the Canadian crowd to their feet with a massive cheer!

Mathews: "What the!?"

The crowd applaud and a chant of “Thank You, Bret!” fills the arena as the “Hit Man” makes his way onto the stage.

Malenko: "It’s Bret Hart, what’s he doing here!?"

Mathews: "Has he forgotten what show he is supposed to be on?"

Hart stands, looking out towards the crowd, before making his way down the aisle, stopping to receive a Canadian flag from a fan, before entering the ring. Hart calls for a microphone and then stands, absorbing the standing ovation from the capacity crowd.

Hart: "Thank you for the warm welcome. I must admit, I was expecting more of a hostile reaction by showing up on the rival brand. I’m sure you’re all wondering why I am here and…"

Suddenly the sound of glass shattering, and the crowd erupt as the music of Onslaught General Manager, Steve Austin, fills the arena.

Malenko: "This could get ugly!"

Austin strides down the aisle, his eyes locked on Bret Hart. As he enters the ring, Hart straightens up. The two men come face to face, whilst the crowd jump and up and down in anticipation of what might happen…

Mathews: "This crowd is going nuts!"

The two GM’s exchange words, before the camera pans back to show Austin holding his hand out. Hart looks down, and then back at Austin, before both men smile and shake hands, much to the delight of the crowd.

Austin steps back and calls for a mic…

Austin: "If I’d have known you were stopping by, son, I would’ve picked up a six of beer and another dozen to wash ‘em down with."

Austin turns to the crowd…

Austin: "The Hit Man and I have an important announcement… (he turns back to Hart)… And seeing as you made the trip all the way out here, you may as well do the honours…"

Mathews: "This must be the big announcement we’ve been hearing all about?"

Malenko: "(sarcastically) And what would give you that impression?"

Hart: "Next month, Unleashed and Onslaught will come together to promote the sixth joint pay-per-view event of the year, one that will take the place of Apocalypse and New Years Mayhem… This event, known as Resurrection, is designed to determine just who will compete in the main event of Night Of The Immortals II!"

The crowd cheers at the announcement!

Mathews: "Wow. This is HUGE news."

Hart: "For the first time in CCW history, superstars from both brands will go to war in a thirty-man over the top-rope Battle Royal, a war that only one man can win. The winning prize; an opportunity to challenge for either the World or Global Heavyweight Championship at the biggest event in CCW!"

The crowd cheers and a chant of “CCDub” fills the arena!

Austin steps forward

Austin: "Participants to this match will be announced over the coming weeks and may the best man win! (he turns to Hart) and best of luck to Unleashed, too."

Austin and Hart shake hands, whilst the “CCDub” chant fills the arena

Mathews "This might just be the biggest news since the CCW roster split! This is phenomenal!"

[Adzer]

The back hallways of the Toronto arena are shown, "Earlier Today" appears in the bottom right of the screen, the halls are packed out with staff setting up for the show later, in amongst them is CCW Global Champion J-Man, wearing a colourful shirt, wrestling pants and a pair of shades, he's trying to duck and dive his way through the moving equipment and people.

Eventually he takes a turn away from the main bulk of the traffic, down a another corridor filled with other Onslaught stars, quite a few of them greet and congratulate him on winning the belt, but many of them while greeting him, eye up the belt with intrigue, eventually J-Man is approached by Elena Rosario and everyone in the corridor goes quiet.

Elena: "So your the new Global Champion now J-Man?"

J-Man: "Damn straight"

Elena: "Excellent, well done J-Man, I'm proud of you"

J-Man: "Thanks Elena, have you come to congratulate me too?"

Elena: "Not exactly, I've come to proposition you"

J-Man: "Well my room is down the corridor there with an en suite and nice comfortable couch"

Elena: "Not that kind of proposition, maybe some other time"

J-Man: "Damn"

Elena smiles and continues.

Elena: "No, my proposition is that tonight, you are up against it when you enter that cage tonight, first your facing The Wh_ (A smash can be heard as someone in the corridor drops some equipment), now you know that the rest of Revolution are going to be at ringside and try to take your title off you, well I happen to be in good contact with a couple of guys on Onslaught that will be willing to help you"

J-Man's smile turns to a face of slight annoyance

J-Man: "How many times do I have to tell people here, I don't need assitance in beating Revolution, I couldn't care if it was a 4 on 1 handicap match, I would still want to give it my best shot, thats what the people expect from me and thats what they get!!!"

Elena thinks for a moment and tosses her hair back.

Elena: "Ok then, just thought I'd ask."

J-Man: "Thanks but no thanks, I like doing it alone...... (J-Man realises what he just said and goes red in the face holding in laughter, Elena giggles a little)

Elena: "I'll see you around, congratulations by the way"

Elena walks on and around the corner, J-Man and the rest of the lockeroom in the area share a laugh at what J-Man said.

[Adzer]

Malenko: And we're back. So, Josh, what do you think of this next match?

Mathews: I've got a feeling this will be pure carnage with the two competitors that are involved. Shawn Greene and Adam Matthews facing off, it's gona be good!

Malenko: Indeed. Lets get this thing started shall we?

As if on cue, 'So Fresh, So Clean' By Outkast runs through the PA, as some of the crowd make an effort to cheer, but are soon drowned out by the boo's. Moments pass, before Matthews appears on the stage from behind the curtain. He looks around to the fans, but gives up his effort to acknowledge them as all he gets as boo's. He makes his way down the ramp and slides into the ring and steps on the bottom rope, lifting him up, as he slowly raises his hands into the air.

Mathews: It's a shame that Adam Matthews has turned his back on these fans. It's just been sickening what he's done to the Wheelers these past few weeks.

Malenko: What are you talking about, Josh?, These fans turned their backs on Matthews, thats what's sickening here!

Buffer: Entering the ring, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 233 lbs, Captain Charisma, Adam Matthews!

A resounding boo sounds.

Malenko:Anyone at home think this crowd here is being disrespectful to a former world champion?

Mathews: Whatever.

'Big Time' blasts through the sound system immediately, as the crowd jump to their feet in appreciation, as Shawn Greene steps out onto the stage. He points to the audience and applauds them, before moving down the rampway, dancing to the music. He makes his down to the half way mark of the ramp, as he drops to his knee's and raises his arms, as gold pyro shoots up from beihnd him, as the crowd go wild. He walks into the ring, and when he gets in, he spins around, and does his trademark pose, as Greene is suddenly pushed with fair momentum forwards and straight through the second rope by an intense Adam Matthews. The crowd boo, as Bruce Buffer places his mic back down onto the announce table.

Malenko: A cunning move there by Matthews, hitting his opponent when he isn't paying attention.

Mathews: His back was turned! The match hasn't even started!

Matthews jumps out of the ring through the second rope after Greene, who makes it to his feet, only to be knocked back down with a running knee to the side of the head by Matthews. The referee is going crazy inside the ring, as Matthews hits Greene with a flurry of kicks to the lower abdomen and back of the head. The crowd boo loudly, as Matthews picks up Greene by the head, and irish whips him into the steel steps, as Greene doubles over in pain. The ref rolls under the bottom rope, trying to restrain Matthews, as he lays into Greene with punches to the head, as Shawn is leaning against the steps taking the beating. The ref pleads with Matthews to take the match into the ring, as Adam finally gives in, as he picks Greene up by the head and throws him under the bottom rope and into the ring, as the ref gives the signal for thet match to begin. The ref somehow manages to restrain Matthews for a few seconds for Shawn Greene to ctahc his breath and make it to his feet, as the two men square up in the center of the ring.

Both men look sideways to each of the fans on their side of the ring, give a look, and lockup. They fight for position for a moment, before Matthews lets go of the hold and locks in a headlock. He applies pressure a few seconds, before shifting sideways and turning the headlock into a hammerlock. He wrenches the arm upwards, before moving down and pulling Greene's legs from under him. Greene lands on his front, but manages to push his hands forwards to cushion the fall. However, he is incapable of stopping the much more fresh Matthews from swtiching his weight around and locking in a front facelock. The ref comes over to check on the action, as Greene unravels his head from the hold, but Matthews grabs hold of both of Shawn's arms, locking in a full nelson. Seconds pass, as Greene cringes in pain from the hold, but the agile Greene manages to slip through the stretch, and chop Matthews in the neck. He then grabs hold of Matthews' head and lifts him over with a snapmare, as Adam lands in front of Greene. Greene then locks in a triangle choke. The crowd are silent for a moment, as Matthews flails his arms around in pain. However, Matthews' arm movements start to slow, as he starts to fade away under the pressure. A small part of the crowd start a get a clapping chorus started to rowse Matthews.The claps start to quicken, as Adam instictively starts to feed off of the fans and starts to move. He fights Greene up to his feet, hit's a solitary elbow to the midsection, hit's the ropes quickly, but is reversed straight back into a sleeperhold, as the part of the crowd supporting Matthews still fight for territory over the crowd who are chanting for Greene.

Mathews: I'm surprised there are still fans out there that are loyal to Adam Matthews after what we've seen of him these past few weeks.

Malenko: They are the only fans with any kind of integrity, we all know it.

Matthews rapidly hits canvas, as the ref makes it back over to the two men, checking on Matthews' condition. He fights the darkness, as blood is being halted getting to his brain by the hold. Matthews lets out one last reach for the ropes, before both his hands topple to the mat. The ref lifts his right arm up.

It drops.

ONE!

He lifts it again, and it drops again.

TWO!

The crowd gasp, as the ref lifts his hand up a third time, but Matthews holds on to consciousness. He grows in movement, before lifting both his legs upwards, and hooking Greene's head in a leg scissors, and throwing Greene over his head and into the ropes. Greene gets straight back up, as he recieves a kick in the midsection from the still grounded Matthews, and a kick the the side of the face, as Greene stumbles backwards into the corner, dazed.

Mathews: Shawn Greene looked to be making a gallant comeback against the underhanded tactics of Matthews at the start of the match, but it's on a knife edge now, folks!

Matthews takes this time to gain some composure and his breath, as he staggers to his feet, and collects himself. He stands straight in the center of the ring at about the same time as Greene pulls himself up with the top turnbuckle. The two men approach eachother, as Greene pushes Matthews backwards, and as Adam turns back around to face Greene, he is hit straight in the forehead with a perfect high angle dropkick. The fans all shout "OOH!" as they all applaud the efforts of Greene. Matthews topples over the top rope to the outside, as he lands on the floor and smacks his back on the barricades.

Mathews: What a move there by Greene! A turning point in the match!

Matthews whiplashes backwards into the barricades, as Greene rolls underneath the ropes and approaches Adam, who is mangled against the outside wall. He picks him up, but receives a uppercut as Matthews raises his head. Greene retaliates with one of his own right hands. Right from Matthews, Right from Greene, Matthews, Greene. Greene looks to have got to upper hand, but Matthews manages to kick Shawn in the midsection. He quickly grabs Greene's arm, and shifts the momentum, as he throws Greene again with an Irish whip straight into the steps, as Greene bounces off of the unforgiving steel for a second time. Matthews gets to a vertical base again, grabs Greene off of the floor, and rolls him under the ropes and into the ring. He follows, and goes a pin, and uses the ropes for leverage. The crowd boo but the ref doesn't see.

ONE...

TWO...

THR...

Greene powers out. Matthews sighs heavily, as he picks up Greene by the scruff of the neck, hooks his arm, and delivers a vicious brain buster, as he holds on into the pin.

ONE...

TWO...

THRE...

A arm goes up again. Matthews is starting to get frustrated, as he sighs again. He thinks for a moment, before reaching for Greene's leg, and pulls him across the canvas towards the corner turnbuckle. He then places Greene's legs around the ringpost. Adam pauses for a few seconds, before applying the figure four leg-lock around the ring post, as Greene screams in pain. The crowd start to boo loudly, and Greene writhes in agony as Matthews falls backwards, applying more pressure,as Greene reaches for the nearby ropes in desperation and slapping his palm down onto the canvas in pain. The referee exit’s the ring and begins his count on the illegal move...

ONE...

TWO...

THREE...

FOUR...

Matthews lets go and drops down onto the floor, as he gets back up, rolls underneath the ropes and into a pin on the motionless Shawn Greene.

ONE...

TWO...

THR...

Greene once again manages to find some fight still in him to get a shoulder up, as Matthews fumes in frustration, and the crowd erupt into cheers for their hero.

Matthews lifts Greene up to land some more shots, as the crowd suddenly rush to their feet. Matthews, sensing the change of atmosphere, turns around to the rampway. He grits his teeth in fury, as JD Wheeler appears from behind the curtain, armed with a steel chair.

Mathews: Oh my God! It's JD Wheeler!, hopefully coming to get some revenge for what Matthews did to his sister last week!

Malenko: Oh for christs sake.

Matthews lifts Greene upwards quickly, as he signals to JD Wheeler that this could be him soon. He then pulls Greene's legs from under him, and wraps up Greene's legs into the scorpion deathlock. Greene cringes in pain, as he reaches in all directions for the ropes, but none are in sight. Seconds of eager wait go by , as Greene is slowly losing track of where he is.

Matthews: Someone do something here! Matthews has incapacitated Shawn Greene with illegal move after illegal move in this match!

But JD Wheeler gets way too close for Matthews liking, he lets go of Greene and backs away from the rampside of the ring, JD is still coming towards him, Matthews slides out of the back of the ring and walks towards the barricade, Wheeler looks annoyed at the cowardice of Adam and starts to starts to walk around the ring towards Matthews, Adam doesn't hestitate to jump the wall and into the crowd, meanwhile the referee is counting out Matthews in the ring, Matthews starts to look conflicted wanting to finish the match, but wanting no part of JD Wheeler.

5....

6....

7....

8....

9....

10!!

Buffer: And here is your winner, by countout, Shawn Greene!

The crowd jump to their feet if they weren't already on them, as 'Big Time' plays, and the crowd chant 'Thankyou JD, Thankyou JD', but chants aren't enough for the former Global Champion, he too jumps the wall where Matthews exited and speeds up his pace, forcing Adam ahead of him to sprint through the crowd to keep his distance.


Matthews: Adam Matthews is running scared, what will he do when Wheeler eventually catches him?

Malenko: I don't know Josh, but when he does, it won't be pretty at all

Greene stumbles up the ramp on one leg, feeling the effects of Matthews attack, he raises his arms up into the air and steps behind the curtain.

[Adzer]

The Wh_ steps out of his dressing room with Rayne right behind him. The former champ has an agressive demeanor as he stalks through the hall as if he's searching. Finally he stops.

The Wh_: "Elena Rosario..."

The camera pans over to a suprised Elena at the catering table stopped mid-drink with a bottle of water. The Wh_ steps close to her and eyes her up and down.

The Wh_: "You know, with so many people here tonight, and in such a large building, word travels fast. You remember that game kids sometimes played called "telephone" where one person would tell someone a phrase and that person would tell another and so on?"

Elena: "I didn't play that one too often but yeah I know it."

The Wh_: Good. Well you know how more often than not, that message would end up so distorted from the original that the person to start the game would barely recognize the original phrase as his own... I just want to make sure that with this many people here, and in such a big place, that the message that reached my ears was the same as when it came from the mouth of the person who started it. You get my drift?"

Elena suddenly has it click in her head. Her eyes widen.

The Wh_: "Now, in the midst of preparing for my match with J-Man tonight, T-Rex came in and told me that you had offered my opponent for tonight a service. The service of you and a few guys, as a little insurance to help J-Man keep my brothers in arms at bay."

Elena's knees buckle slightly and she backs up until she hits the table.

The Wh_: "You did say that... didn't you?"

Elena: "Look I don't want any problems I was just trying to help..."

The Wh_ reaches an arm out causing Elena to flinch. But the big man strokes her hair in comfort.

The Wh_: "Shh... it's alright. I just wanted to know. I also wanted to tell you that it wouldn't have mattered if your boys tried to help out the champ, I'm going to come out on top anyway. In fact I'm glad for them that J-Man turned down your proposal. It'll save them the hospital bills."

The Wh_ takes his hand away from her and steps back.

The Wh_: "Speaking of these helpers of yours, why aren't they with you at the moment?"

Elena: "Oh um... I don't know, I was going to meet up with them in a few minutes..."

A smile crosses the face of The Wh_.

The Wh_: You know, for as many people that are here tonight and as big an arena as this is...
I don't see anybody around right now that could hear you scream."

Her eyes swell and Elena's sudden realization of what was happening is very visable in her actions. She looks both left and right for either a way out or for someone, anyone, to help her. The halls contain not a soul.

The Wh_ doesn't budge. A somber face replacing his former smile.

Elena inches her way to her left and towards a nearby intersection in the hallway, all the while keeping her eyes on the evil in front of her...

...when the evil hiding in the shadows behind swings forward with both hands one of the chairs from the catering table she had silently acquired during the confrontation. The chair strikes Elena Rosario in the back of her head, knocking her instantly unconcious and crumpling hard to the concrete floor. Rayne stands over her, chair in hand, head cocked to the side.

The Wh_: "I deeply apologize for that, lovely."

The Wh_ speaks to the unmoving interviewer...

The Wh_: "... But I had to make certain that your friends are too busy at your side to become another thorn in mine."

The Wh_ walks out of view as Rayne bends down, relinquishing her hold on the chair, and pats the motionless woman on the head, giggling.

Fade out.

[Adzer]

Cut to a hallway in the arena where medics are looking at Elena Rosario, who is now fully concious again, apart from a sore head, J-Man walks into shot, holding the Global Title over his shoulder, his face is serious and full of concern for Elena.

J-Man: "Are you ok Elena?"

Elena: "I've been better J-Man"

J-Man: "Can I take 3 guesses on who did this?"

Elena: "I bet you could get it in one"

J-Man: "Well if this is the game he wants to play, then I'm in, you take it easy Elena ok, I'll talk to you later on"

J-Man walks down the corridor past Elena and goes around the corner, he continues walking for another minute until we start to hear voices from around the corner, J-Man stops and listens closely to the familiar voices of Revolution. The camera pans around the corner to show that all members are in attendance beside one of the buffet tables.

The Wh: "I don't care what it takes, take him out! But make sure he still makes to the match, I want to finish whats left of him"

6yxx: "You got it boss"

T-Rex: "Yeah no problem"

Fantomas (who wasn't paying attention): "What? whats going on?"

T-Rex shoves Fantomas aside as they walk away.

T-Rex: "C'mon, I'll tell you on the way back to the lockeroom"

The Wh_ walks in J-Man's direction, but when the camera goes back to where J-Man was, he's gone, the camera pans back to where Revolution were and sure enough there's J-Man sneaking up behind Chris 6yxx who is still standing there having a drink and some food from the buffet table, with his back to J-Man.

J-Man waits for a minute so that the rest of Revolution aren't in ear shot, he picks up a bunch of the plates and smashes them over 6yxx's head, he then beats down of the American Champion with strong right hands and eventually kicks to the face, J-Man then lifts 6yxx back to his feet and throws him into the buffet table and through it, 6yxx then just lies there semi concious, J-Man leans down to him.

J-Man: "Take this as a message to your beloved leader, if he or any other member of your pathetic group comes near me tonight or anyone else for that matter, they are going to get the same treatment as you, YOU HEAR ME!!!"

J-Man picks up one of the bottles of water and pours it over 6yxx's pants to make it look like he's pissed himself, J-Man makes a satisfied smile as he walks off leaving 6yxx in the mess he's in

Red and Black lights strobe, as the camera zooms out to reveal a wrestling ring, shadowed in darkness. The strobes cease, as the screen fades to black, and a white strip of light shines down from above, outlining the figure leaning against one side of the ropes in the ring. He is wearing wrestling gear, and has several clear tribal tattoo's across hs upper body. The man flexes his shoulder muscles, as he grabs a towel from the top of the turnbuckle and uses it on his forehead. The camera pans across, as a strong white light beams into the screen, blinding the man's face to us while he trains. A voiceover is heard.

Voiceover: A man of justice, determined and strong...

The man continues to punch the air, blocking and faking a move, as if the camera wasn't even there.

Voiceover: None can match his will to win, he is an undefeatable force.

The man wipes himself off again, before rolling under the bottom rope of the blackened ring, as he slowly walks out of the dark room, and shuts the door, as the screen fades to a black canvas.

Voiceover: He arrives...Next week on CCW Onslaught.

"Crawl Throught Knives" begins to play over the speakers as Jerome Novaho comes out and makes his way down the ramp to a pretty good pop from the crowd. He rolls into the ring and goes to the opposite of the ring to grab a mic. As his music dies, he raises the mic to speak.

Novaho "I know you're all eager for the main event, so I won't take up much time. I just wanted to first thank you all for the warm reception I've received here on Onslaught. You fans are the reason why I come out here and give 110%."

The crowd cheers and Jerome smiles while nodding.

Novaho "Thank you. Now, some people backstage have been saying that I've stuck my nose where it doesn't belong and because of that, the loss of a recent title match was made more probable than it would have been. Well, I wanted to come out here and address these accusations.

To say this is unfounded is an unstatement. I had no intention of costing anyone their title, honestly. But what's done is done. I can't change the future. All I can do is hope that they'll stop this nonsense and move on. Therefore, Joshua, I'd like you to come down here so that we can iron things out.

"Just Stop" plays and the crowd bursts into cheers as Joshua James comes walking down and gets into the ring. Jerome offers his hand, but Joshua responds by grabbing the mic out of his other hand. Jerome backs away holding up his hands and gets another mic.

James "Let me get this straight, Novaho. You want me to forgive you. Is that it?"

Novaho "Well, there shouldn't be anything to forgive...hey man, I just don't want no ill will between us."

James "Wow, yeah, well you know, I haven't heard the two words that usually accompanies an apology yet."

Novaho "But...this isn't an apology...."

James "So you're NOT sorry you cost me my title?"

Novaho "I didn't cost you your title. Chris 6yxx pinned me at Brutal Encounter...."

James "Yeah, two men that had no business in that match, one pinned the other to take MY title!"

Novaho ".....technically it's not your title..."

James "And you say you have nothing to be sorry about?"

Novaho "I didn't book the match, man."

James "And what happens on the Onslaught after Brutal Encounter? Does the former North American Champion get a title rematch? Does he?"

Novaho "I don't like where this is going."

James "Answer the goddamn question!"

Novaho "NO! Okay? The answer is no! You didn't get a rematch last week. Are you happy?"

James "NO! I'm not $#%^ happy. Do I not deserve a title rematch?"

Novaho "Actually, yeah, I agree. You do deserve a title rematch."

James "Good! Because that's exactly what I'm going to demand from Austin! Next week, it's going to be Joshua James vs. Chris 6yxx for the North American title! And there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

Joshua rolls out of the ring.

Novaho "....uh, that might not be the best idea...."

Before Jerome can say anything, "Burn in My Light" plays and the new North American champion comes out with the title over his shoulder. Althought groggy, he smiles despite the pain from his bandaged head and the animosity of the crowd.

6yxx "Well.....look what we have here. The Neutron Bore! And the North American Dupe! Wow, guys, all this fighting this?"

Chris motions at the title.

6yxx "I'm honored!"

James "Enjoy it while you can, 6yxx! Because next week, your ass is mine along with that title! As soon as I go talk to Austin...."

6yxx "Oh, Austin. Yeah, well, you see, hmmmm, how do I break this to you? You know, maybe your good buddy Ivanhoe should be the one to tell you."

Joshua turns back to Jerome in the ring.

James "What does he mean?"

Novaho "Man, Chris, don't make me do this."

James "Do what? Tell me!"

Novaho "Joshua, man, it wasn't my idea, but.....well, Austin has already scheduled a title match against 6yxx next week and...."

James "And what? If anything besides Joshua James comes out of your mouth, I'm going to be very upset!"

6yxx laughs while Novaho looks uncomfortable.

Novaho "Joshua, the person who's going to face Chris next week....well, it's....going to be me."

Mathews "This doesn't bode well."

James "WHAT!?!"

6yxx "haha, oh, Joshua, can't you see what Jerome is doing to you?"

Novaho "That's a bold faced lie! I had nothing to do with this! You're the one who wanted this match, 6yxx! And you're the one who mentioned me to Austin!"

6yxx "Well, guys, I can see you two have a lot to talk about and I've got to meet up with my boss before his big match next. I'll see you two later."

6yxx exits and James starts to get into the ring.

Novaho "Joshua, I didn't have anything to do with this, but if you come in here to attack me, I'm going to defend myself!"

Joshua backs off, even though he's adamantly pissed about the events that have just transpired. He looks up at Novaho.

James "I was cheated out of that title and I will have my rematch! And I'll go through as many people as I have to to get it. Even if it's you!"

Joshua drops the mic and walks up the ramp.

Mathews "We've just had some strong words from three equally strong men. And we had a huge match announced for next week, the North American title on the line."

Malenko "Joshua James can't be happy he's been overlooked for a rematch and I'm having trouble finding a reason to disagree with him. But damn, I'm looking forward to seeing Novaho take on 6yxx next week!"

Mathews "And ladies and gentlemen, stick around because after the commercial break, we've got the rematch of Brutal Encounter and it's in a Cage!"

[jerseyboybastard]

The instrumental version of Onslaught’s theme plays as the audience watches the officials finish the last minute touches on the steel monstrosity that surrounds the ring.

Josh Mathews “Up next is our main event and I have to say, after the events over the course of the show, this will be quite the rematch.”

Dean Malenko “Both men have assured their possession of the title at the end of this bout and frankly, I’m having trouble choosing who’s correct.”

Josh Mathews “Well, one way or another, neither man will give up easily and we’re going to see a match for the ages. And it looks like we’re ready to go.”

DING, DING, DING

Buffer “The following contest is our main event and is for the CCW World Heavyweight Championship! The rules of the Steel Cage match are as follows. Both competitors will be locked inside the structure. To end the match, either man must pin the other contestant, climb over the walls with both feet touching the ground or exit through the solitary doorway. The man that accomplishes any of these options will be the winner and World Heavyweight Champion!”

Everyone goes silent in anticipation of seeing who comes out first. The majority of the audience is disappointed when the lights change to a dark blue hue and “Heretic Anthem” begins to play, but a few cheer. During the opening riff, a wall of flames shoot up across the stage and in their wake leave five figures standing across the parameter of the stage. The end figures walk towards the middle one as he makes his way down the ramp.

Buffer “Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by the Revolution, weighing in at 320 lbs, from Houston, TX, please welcome The Wh_”

Bruce’s mic mysteriously goes out and he sends it through the bars asking for a new one. Meanwhile, The Wh_ and his entourage reach the cage, examine and admire it. Their leader makes some comments to the crew while they nod in acceptance. 6yxx checks his bandage to see if the bleeding has stopped and winces, but glances at the Wh_ and mouths “no problem” showing his ability to suck up pain. The Wh_ mounts the steel steps and enters the cage, looking around once in and planning his course of action.

He’s distracted when the lights begin to strobe, “Spitfire” plays and the audience bursts into adamant cheers. Out comes the source of such jubilation in the form of the World Heavyweight Champion. He comes out mouthing words that can’t be heard over the air and when he gets to the top of the ramp, he motions with his hands out to the crowd, turns them into fists and finally brings them to his heart.

Buffer “Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 250 lbs, now residing in Toronto, ON, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, please welcome J-Man!”

J-Man comes down the ramp and stops just short of the foot when Chris 6yxx gets in his path. Backed by T-Rex and Fantomas, 6yxx trades words with J-Man, but J-Man doesn’t back down for an instance. Some officials come over to make sure everything is okay, but before they can get there, 6yxx does something that surprises everyone. Turning to the side, 6yxx makes a passage for the champion. T-Rex and Fantomas quickly do the same, but J-Man is wary of having men he hardly trusts on either side of him. Regardless, he braves the possibility of being jumped and walks through; looking at each man as he passes by, but none of them try anything. He walks up the steps and gets into the ring, unbuckling the belt from around his waist. The referee takes it, shows it to Wh_ and then holds it up for the audience to see. Walking over to the door, he hands it another official and has the door closed, then motions to the time keeper.

DING, DING, DING

Both men circle around each other while the members of the Revolution pound against the fence in the hopes of drawing J-Man’s attention. They inch towards each other, arms extended and lock up. J-Man tries to keep his ground, but he has a height and weight disadvantage and is soon pushed back against the ropes and fence. J-Man sends some kicks to Wh_’s waist and the powerhouse responds by Irish whipping the champion. Wh_ goes for a clothesline that J-Man ducks. J-Man jumps up on the ropes and dives backwards for a tiger jump, but Wh_ catches him and then runs into the side of the cage. J-Man seizes in pain as his back connects with the chain link and falls through the ropes to the mat.

Mathews “It’s back and forth in the first few seconds, but Wh_ has just done some damage to our champion.”

Wh_ grabs J-Man by his head and pulls him up into an inverted facelock. He twists around and falls into a neckbreaker and then goes for a cover.

“One.”

J-Man kicks out at one even, showing that it’s going to take more than some metal and a fancy move to beat him. Sitting up to his knees, Wh_ slaps J-Man across the face a couple times and yells at him to give up. Standing, Wh_ pulls J-Man up and pushes his face up against the fence, raking it against the steel. Then, cupping his hands around J-Man’s head, Wh_ pulls him back down into a backbreaker. Wh_ leans J-Man sitting against the closest turnbuckle as a small stream of blood flows down his forehead.

Mathews "J-Man has been busted open, but it doesn't look too major."

Walking towards the door, it looks like he’s going to escape the cage and the official starts to open it. Instead, Wh_ turns around runs at J-Man and sends a knee into his head.

“OW!”

Mathews “Wh_ had a chance to escape and win back the title. I don’t understand.”

Malenko “It’s simple, Josh. Punishment. Wh_ is going to punish J-Man for costing him the win at Brutal Encounter first. Then, he’ll worry about gaining back the title.”

Wh_ pulls his opponent up and smiling out to the audience when he sees the blood flowing a little more, he raises a finger to his mouth, asking for them to silence their booing.

WHACK!

Wh_ sends the palm of his hand across the chest of J-Man and laughs at the red mark his strike leaves behind. Suddenly, J-Man comes alive, as though waking from a slumber and returns the slap back.

WHACK!

Wh_ tries for another one, but J-Man seems obsessed and returns it again and follows it up with more, pushing Wh_ back.

WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

Backing up, J-Man does a standing dropkick and knocks Wh_ over. J-Man finds the nearest turnbuckle and mounts it. People begin to cheer when they think he’s going to climb the fence, but are surprised when he turns around after getting to the top of the buckle. He launches off and flips down onto Wh_ with a moonsault. Hooking Wh_’s leg, J-Man goes for a cover.

“One.....”

Wh_ kicks out at one and a half as the audience sigh disappointment. Getting up, J-Man walks towards the door, but as he closes in on it, the members of the Revolution attack the official so that he cannot open the door for J-Man. Fantomas smiles up at the champion and shakes his head, saying that he’s not going to get out this way. J-Man turns around just in time to receive a big boot from Wh_.

“AW!”

The members of the Revolution open the door and motion for their leader to exit the ring and win. Standing over J-Man, he says a goodbye and turns to leave. J-Man grabs him in a burst of energy and pulls him down into a schoolboy. The referee slides down and slaps the mat.

“One.....two.”

Wh_ kicks out at two even. Slowly getting up, J-Man finds the closest corner and begins to climb. He gets to the top of the turnbuckle when Wh_ starts to get up. Seeing J-Man trying to make his escape, Wh_ shuffles over to the corner and stops him. Stepping onto the second ropes, Wh_ sends some fists into J-Man’s back. J-Man tries to fight through it and move up the fence. He’s almost to the top with Wh_ immediately behind him when Wh_ slips around, grabbing his legs and pulling back. J-Man tries to keep hold of the cage, but the Revolution leader’s strength is too great and J-Man slips. Wh_ sends both of them down into a top rope powerbomb.

Mathews “OW! A beautiful super powerbomb from the former champion and one has to wonder how far these men will go to win this match!”

Malenko “The end fits the means, Josh. I imagine this is far from over.”

Wh_ gets enough strength to lay an arm over J-Man for a cover.

“One.....two.....”

J-Man gets an arm up at two and a half as the crowd begins to chant his name.

“J-MAN! J-MAN! J-MAN!”

Both men are hurting and tired, but they know one has to win, so they come to life and start getting up. Wh_, who is the least winded, gets up first and goes to his opponent, locking in a front facelock, looking to put in a vertical suplex. When he tries to pull J-Man up, he locks his leg in Wh_’s, stopping him. Out of nowhere, J-Man lifts the man up onto his right shoulder and as the crowd marvels, he sends Wh_ down with an Emerald Fusion.

Getting up, J-Man again goes for the door, but the Revolution is still guarding it. Instead, he goes to the parallel corner of the exit. He runs and makes a baseball slide into the door and though the metal barrier stops him from escaping, he does cause the door to swing out and hit a distracted Fantomas directly in the face. Before J-Man can wiggle out the door, T-Rex pushes him back in, grabs the lock out of 6yxx’s hand while yelling at him for not securing the door and closes the door while locking it.

Mathews “The Revolution thinks they can help their leader win by cheating, but this time it backfires.”

J-Man gets up, using the ropes as leverage and turns around walking right into a black hole slam from Wh_. He goes for the pin.

“One.....two.....”

J-Man raises an arm at two and a half. The Wh_ gets up slowly and makes his way over to the door, looking to escape. T-Rex turns to 6yxx and asks for the key to the lock. 6yxx shrugs and motions that he doesn’t have it. T-Rex looks over at Fantomas clutching a bloody nose and he shakes his head. He looks up at his leader and shrugs, saying that the key must be with the referee the EMTs took away. Wh_ frown quickly turns to anger and he grabs the door and shakes it, unable to escape. Instead, he begins to climb the turnbuckle.

J-Man is up like a lion and jumps into Wh_ with a flying forearm into his back, which stops him from advancing. J-Man gets up behind Wh_ and pushes his head into the metal pole. Then wrapping his arms around the massive waist of the Revolution leader, J-Man pulls back into a German suplex from the top rope. Both men hit the apron with great force that winds them both and seconds pass by as they gain back some strength. The camera centers on a bloodied Wh_ as it streams down his forehead and he shakes his head, trying to wash away the fogginess.

Mathews “The end has to be soon, both men have been opened up and J-Man’s hair is now orange from his blood!”

Malenko “Well, with the door locked, the only way to win is now from pinfall or climbing over the fence.”

J-Man crawls over to Wh_ and pushing him down, goes for a cover.

“One.....two.”

Wh_ kicks out at two even and the crowd expresses their disappointment. After a few seconds, J-Man gets up and finding the closest corner, climbs with all his might. Wh_ gets up and tries to stop him, grabbing J-Man’s feet as he pulls up onto the steel girder. J-Man kicks at Wh_ and plants a boot right to Wh_’s face, knocking him down to the apron. J-Man stands up on the steel girder and motions out to the crowd to get ready.

Mathews “My god, no! NO, J-Man! You’ve got a chance to win the match! Don’t throw it away on a high risk move!”

Malenko “Fortune favors the bold, Josh!”

J-Man leaps off the corner into a frog splash as the crowd rise to their feet in anticipation and when he lands on Wh_, they explode into astonished cheers. He pulls Wh_ into a pin as the referee goes for the count.

“One.....

Two.....

The referee brings down his hand for a third time, but stops when Wh_ manages to get his hands up.

“AW!”

More precious seconds pass by as J-Man rolls over clutching his chest and stomach as Wh_ has a few spasms. The crowd begins chanting J-Man’s name again, willing him to get up and climb the fence to a win. Slowly he gets up and makes his way to a different corner and climbs the turnbuckle. Getting up to the top, he begins to go over the girder, but when he looks down and sees 6yxx and T-Rex swinging chairs up at him as though a warning of what he’ll get if he comes down that way.

Suddenly, the crowd bursts into cheers as three figures come running down and attack the remaining members of the Revolution.

Mathews “Oh my god, it’s the Midnight Riders and Full Metal Jack! Three-fourths of Dallas Justice is coming down to help J-Man even out the odds!”

Malenko “Yeah, but Wh_ is up now!”

Jack, Danny and Steve beat back T-Rex, Fantomas and Chris, taking the chairs out of their hands and hitting them instead. Inside the ring, Wh_ tries to get up and grab J-Man but he just misses grasping him as he goes over the side and starts to climb down. Halfway down, Wh_ hits the fence, upset that he missed grabbing J-Man and sends J-Man to fall the remainder of the way. J-Man lands hard and hits his head against the security wall.

DING, DING, DING

Wh_ climbs back into the ring and watches as Danny and Steve help J-Man up while Jack grabs the title and hands it to a barely conscious bloodied J-Man.

Buffer “The winner and STILL CCW World Heavyweight Champion, J-MAN!”

The boys of Dallas Justice carry more than help J-Man up the ramp. Wh_ looks down at a scared Rayne as blood continues to trickle down his face, screams for her to open the cage and although she can’t hear him, she knows he’s pissed and goes to find one of the other members of Revolution to help her.

Mathews “My god! What a stunning display of athleticism! Folks, we hope you enjoy this edition of Onslaught! On behalf of everyone here, I’m Josh Mathews, saying good fight, good night!”

The final image is of Wh_ shaking the cage fence, desperate to get out. It’s replaced by the circling CCW image and then that disappears.
