Anarchy in the UK hits the speakers as Chris Fields walks out to a mixed reaction from this awesome crowd. He enters the ring as the CHEERS grow louder and louder as "Heads are gonna ROLL" begins to play. Jason Perry walks out to a AWESOME pop. He slides in the ring and Fields already attacks him. The bell rings as CF irish whips him into the ropes and tries a shoulder block. He falls from Perrys massive stature. Perry lifts him up and tosses him to the corner. He unloads with a barrage of punches. Perry hip tosses him out of the corner and charges at him with clotheslines. CF gets up and is knocked right back down until Perry knocks him over the top rope. Perry goes to grab him, but Fields sweeps him. He pulls JP to the outside of the ring and rams him into the railing. He tosses Perry to the other side as he hits hard.

A cover....1....2..3. Another win for Devestator Jason Perry.

Winner: Jason Perry

We go to the back where we see Jay Miller and Jerome Miller talking. They see the camera and push it out the way when another man walks with them. The camera couldn't get a shot of who that man was. What's going on here tonight???

We go to some footage of Ryan Fischer betraying Alec Diablo and joining up with The Gold Standard. AD is pretty much a man left alone since he disbanded Deep Impact. We see him face RF but get attacked by members of Deep Impact. And then we see footage of AD issuing the challenge of a tag team match between Fischer and a member of the GS against him and a partner of his choice. Who will it be???

Rufus and Hessian vs Viper and Fulcan

Limp Biskit’s "Rollin - Urban Assault Version" comes on and the big fighter from Las Vegas, Viper comes walking out to the top of the ramp… he is dressed in his typical black and silver and the gold viper emblem shines off his black leather vest. He walks determinedly to the ring and slides in, where he awaits his partner for the evening. "Rolling" fades and is replaced by "One Armed Scissor" and here comes Fulcan… he heads straight to the ring and starts planning strategy with Viper. Suddenly the music changes to Korn’s "No Place to Hide", and the Elite’s Twin Towers of Evil, Rufus and Hessian come out and raise their fists to a mix of cheers and jeers. It seems like people want to hate the Elite but are having problems due to their immense talent pool. The elitists get in the ring and then ref calls for the bell. We start off with Viper vs Rufus.

Rufus and Viper lock up in the middle and then Viper whips the big man into the ropes. Viper comes running and hits Rufus with a Running Lariat on the rebound. This staggers the big man, but he doesn’t fall. Viper bounces off the ropes and hits a Running Shoulder Breaker that staggers the big man! But still he won’t fall!!! Viper goes over and says something to Fulcan, who nods in agreement Viper tags in Fulcan and then grabs Rufus and flings him into the corner! Fulcan gets in the far corner and Viper grabs his hands and starts to whip him across the ring – but Fulcan holds on and turns it into a Short Arm Clothesline on VIPER!!! Rufus and Hessian are shocked! I would bet that Viper is too!!! Fulcan pulls him up and then plants the Veganite into the mat face-first with a Double Arm DDT!!! Fulcan is standing over Viper yelling obscenities at him and flipping him off!!! What the hell?!?

Fulcan calls to Rufus and then pulls Viper up again and hurls him towards the corner… Rufus comes running and GORES Viper into the mat!!! Fulcan simply smiles and rolls out of the ring… he shakes his head and then heads for the back! Damn! Not only did he attack Viper, he abandoned him as well!!! Rufus pulls up Viper and then hits the The Last Standing (Rolling Thunder Suplex)!!! He doesn’t go for the pin though… instead he tags in Hessian and whips Viper into the ropes… on the rebound Viper is met with a kick to the gut that doubles him over and then Hessian locks the head and plants Viper deep into the mat with the Metal Edge (Brainbuster DDT)!!! Here’s the cover… 1… 2… 3!!!

Winners: Rufus and Hessian

Fulcan really screwed Viper… Rufus and Hessian are just exiting the ring and heading up the ramp when the newcomers, "Mean" Mike Smith and Steve "Razor" Blade come running out and attack!!! Oh man, it looks like a Pier 6 Brawl on the ramp!!! All four men are battling it out as we go to commercial…

Back…

We see replays of the 4-man brawl that just ended and then a shot of Viper being helped to the back.

Hardcore Title Three Man Scaffold Match
Jonothan (c) vs Red Leaf Express vs Dope Static

This one started even before the Introductions could be made. RLE grabbed Dope from Behind and threw him into a Soda Machine. Man it shattered the front plate and sent can flying to the ground. What is the RLE grabs a soda and sits down in the corner. Dope is getting himself off the ground and kicks RLE right in the mouth. RLE looks mad as his drink was spilled down the front of his shirt. He throws the half full can at Dope just missing his head. Oh man, he hit the camera guy right off the top of the head. RLE is getting up as Dope gives him a few quick forarms to the back. RLE is on his hands and knees as Dope picks up and nails RLE with a broom stick. Dope is taunting RLE as he is kicking him in the ribs. RLE is just smiling as he kicks him harder and harder. Dope goes to take a running kick when a trash can from around the corner hits him from behind.

Jon comes out and picks him up to his feet only to level him again with trash can again. RLE is getting up and throws a soda can hitting Jon in the gut. RLE opens another soda and dumps it on his head. then throws the empty can at Dope who is getting up. The can hits him but there is no effect. RLE gets to his feet and gets kicked in the gut by Jon and then gets kneelifted by Dope. RLE goes down as Dope and Jon look at each other. OH MY! They just said the hell with it and now are going fist-to-cuffs. Left... Right... Left... Right... They are each landing with some really heavy blows. What is this? RLE has gotten to his feet and is instructing the offical to hold something. It's a Ribbon. A big yellow ribbon. He is now skipping and wrapping them up in the ribbon. These guys are going at it, I don't think they even know what is going on. Now they do as he had gotten them wrapped pretty tight. He is singing "Skip to My Lou" and pulling them to the scaffold area. They stop him about half way to the area and break free of the ribbon. Dope looks pissed an is yelling something about being made a fool. Jon has gone into the back. Dope locks up with RLE and suplexs him onto a wooden platform. The boards shatter under the weight of the both of them. Dope gets up and wraps the ribbon around RLE's neck while he is getting onto his hands and knees. He is choking him. RLE's eyes are wide and bugging out of his head. Jon comes from the back with a Kendo stick and nails RLE in the head. He does it again and again.

Dope lets the ribbon go and RLE drops like a sack of potatos. Jon then swings for the fences missing Dope face with the stick. Dope ducks only to get hit with the back swing. Jon stands over him and raises the stick like a swordsman, Dope pulls the ribbon that Jon was standing on. Jon loses his balance and Dope kicks him in the knee. Jon falls down dropping the stick. Jon quickly gets to his feet as does Dope. The meet again with a flury of punches. RLE shaking the cob webs out picks up the stick they were both standing over. OWWWWW! They both took it to the groin. They go down as RLE gets up to his feet. He starts to mimic them holding his groin and moaning. He then walks over and gets into the ring. He grabs onto the rope ladder attached to the Scaffold. He climbs two rungs and then jumps down. Dope and Jon are getting up slowly. RLE is under the ring. What is he... He has a Table. He just took out another and another. He took out 6 tables from under the ring. He is not putting them in the ring as Jon has gotten to his feet and wants to end it by getting the belt on the scaffold, over the ring, twenty feet up. He is climbing the rope ladder when Dope starts to shake it. Jon is about 8 feet up when he loses his grip and falls. Once on the ground Dope picks him up and suplexs him outside of the ring to the floor. RLE has now set up all 6 tables in the ring. Dope looks at RLE as he bumps him with the table. RLE smiles and says sorry, but Dope knocks the table over and grabs RLE. He punches him twice and lays him on the table. Dope climbs out of the ring and grabs a chair.

He is climbing the turnbuckle and as soon as he reaches the top dives off the top with the chair over his chest. It nails RLE in the head, crushing RLE's face with the table breaking. Jon has gotten up and picked up another chair. He gets into the ring as Dope tries to catch a breath. Jon nails Dope in the back as Dope was trying to get up. Jon takes another wack and then picks up a part of the table. He bashes it over Dope head and then runs it over his forehead cutting it open. RLE is slowly getting up as Jon is climbing the ladder again. RLE looks to have blood running from under his mask. RLE is climbing the ladder under Jon. Dope is wiping the blood from his forehead as RLE caught up to Jon. 15 feet up in the air RLE locks Jons legs over his shoulders and is pulling him off. RLE is giving Jon a piggy-back ride to the ground via the express elevator. The both come crashing down falling ontop of Dope as well. All three men are down as the crowd is going nutty over this match. Jon is the first one to move. He is crawling over to the far rope ladder. He makes it there as Dope is starting to crawl over the close rope ladder. They are making their way up the ladder before RLE starts to move. They both make it to the top and RLE is about halfway up on the far rope ladder. Dope and Jon are cautious not to fall off themselves as they start to throw punches at each other. Oh here goes Jon off the.. NO! He held on to the wire he is hanging onto the wire. Dope is now trying to kick at his hands, when RLE comes and hits him from behind. Dope is teetering on the edge as Jon kicks him in the chest. WOW!

All Jon had to do was wait and Dope could have fallen. Jon is climbing back onto the scaffold as it is waving in the air. All three of them now are throwing punches at each other. Whoa what is this! Jerome is coming from the back as Mike Action and Jay are trying to get his attention from behind. They are talking with him. They run ahead of him and grab some more tables from under the ring. They have a whole bunch of them and they are stacking 2 tables together as Jerome starts to climb the ladder. He gets to the top and starts to beat on RLE and Dope. All four men are fighting on the scaffold and Dope goes down he is holding on as Jerome is trying to kick him off. RLE is down as Jon is trying to kick him off. Both men are holding on for dear life as Action and Jay are cheering on Jon and Jerome. WAIT! Here comes X-Factor he runs from the back and up the ladder. He makes it to the top in record speed. He stares at both Jon and Jerome. They start to size each other up. X is smiling. I think he is... HE JUST KICK DOPE IN THE FACE! Dope goes crashing down through the table stacked under him. OH MY GAWD! He looks lifeless as X waives bye bye to RLE. However RLE waves back and falls to his doom. Jon pulls the belt from the holder, as X and Jerome raise his hands hi into the air.

WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION: JONATHAN

I can't believe this...WHY are all these men together??

Jerome: In case you MORONS haven't noticed...THE ALLIANCE IS OFFICIALLY REBORN!!! My brother, Jono, Action...and of course...X-Factor. Don't cry you piss ant fans....you guys should've seen it coming.

The men put on Alliance shirts as they get booed all the way to the back.

The controversy over the TV title is shown as Slack pinned a more than willing Hollywood for the title. And then the history of TLC matches here in the IHWA are went over. The participants are shown as we get this one underway.

Wait a minute! One of the ladders that was tied up just dropped back down to the ring. What is going on? Here comes RLE what is he doing up, let alone alive. He has the neck collar on and a bandage around his head. he is climbing the ladder. Security is coming out to get him down but he just cut both ladders from the scaffold. RLE has cornered himself on top of the scaffold. He is sitting on the edge. It sounds like he is singing. Yes he is singing. I think it is New York, New York. While we figure out a way to get him down, the matches will continue.

Jenson Zuban vs Wild Thing

Both men come out and don't even wait for the bell. Zuban hits WT with a kick to the stomach then a throw into the corner. He runs at him only to have WT move out of his way. WT grabs Zuban by the pants and does a schoolboy pin 1...2.. NO! Almost a three. That would have been quick. Zuban is upset that WT held him by the pants and forarms him to the face a few times. He irish whips him into the ropes and nails him with a drop kick. Zuban gets up and picks up WT. RLE is screaming now, ZUBAN IS BAD! RLE has lost it. WT tries to grab Zuban with an armbar but slips, making it easy for Zuban to lay in a clothesline. Zuban picks him up and nails a suplex. He then while laying down shows the finger to RLE who is still screaming. Zuban picks up WT throws him into the ropes and nails him with a gutwrench suplex. Oh I think this might be it. Zuban goes for the pin, 1... 2... KICKOUT! Zuban looks little upset but gets to his feet. Zuban drops a standing elbow onto WT. He drops about two more before picking up WT. The ref looks up at RLE as he is standing stomping and shaking the scaffold. WT hits a low blow when the ref was distracted. Zuban falls like a ton of bricks. WT grabs a leg and tries for a figure four. It's locked, WILL ZUBAN TAP OUT! The ref is checking, but Zuban refuses.

He wiggles his way over the ropes and the ref is calling for the break. WT this reluctant to break the hold. The ref gives him the warning and he lets go. Zuban is holding his knee as WT starts to kick it. He is looking to do some more damage. Zuban slides out of the ring with WT right behind him. Zuban turns to see WT and he nails him with a few forarms. WT goes down to his knees and Zuban keeps hitting him. WT chopblocks the leg of Zuban and he goes down. The ref is counting, 5... 6... WT slides back into the ring. The ref's count gets to 9 when Zuban climbs back into the ring. WT does not let Zuban get to his feet when he starts to kick the leg again. You can see Zuban is in alot of pain, and yet he keeps fighting. WT grabs the foot and slams the knee into the ring. As he goes to do it Zuban flips over onto his back and kicks WT right in the face. WT slumps into a corner as Zuban gets up. WT goes over and takes another shot to the mouth from Zuban's fist. WT goes does to his knees as Zuban does a running drop kick right to the face of WT. Zuban is saying he had enough. He climbs to the top the best he can and nails WT with the Ax Kick. Zuban goes for the cover 1...2...3...

Winner By pinfall: Zuban

Just as the ref raises his hand RLE jumps from the platform landing on Zuban, the ref and WT. Paramedics are being rushed in as all of them are laying motionless. The paramedics are giving the thumbs up to all, but I think these people are going to the hospital.

The controversy over the TV title is shown as Slack pinned a more than willing Hollywood for the title. And then the history of TLC matches here in the IHWA are went over. The participants are shown as we get this one underway.

Asylum quickly covers him but the ref wont count… he tells Asylum that it has to be in the ring…

Asylum pulls Cobra up and locks on the Straight Jacket submission!!! Cobra is fighting the pain… fighting for air… fighting for consciousness… and then Asylum releases the hold and Cobra falls to the ground!

Wicked D (c) vs Mad Dragon

Ian Payne comes out first wearing well-worn blue jeans, wrestling half-boots and an old torn up ref’s shirt… he is shaking hands with the crowd as he makes his way to the ring. Gargoyle rolls in and waits for the combatants to show. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica starts to play and Mad Dragon comes out and makes his way to the ring… he gets on the apron and then vaults over into the ring. Dragon and Gargoyle shake hands as the music slowly fades out and is replaced by Cradle of Filth’s "Nocturnal Supremacy". The reigning World Champion, Wicked D, comes out followed closely by Hessian and Rufus. He turns and tells them to go on back. Even though they try to argue, Wicked D gets his way and travels down the ramp to the ring alone. He slides into the ring, shakes Gargoyle’s hand and then hands him the belt. Gargoyle takes the belt and shows it to Mad Dragon and then hands it to a ring attendant. Gargoyle tells both men that he expects a clean fight and then calls for the bell.

The 6’6" champ from the Gates of Midian starts off with a show of good sportsmanship – he offers his hand! Dragon is tentative but shakes and then pulls away quickly – D just smiles and begins to circle… Collar and Elbow Lock up – Mad Dragon makes the first offensive move as he turns it into a Headlock but the champ pushes him off into the ropes and then levels him with a big Shoulder Block!

As Gargoyle tries to get into position to make the count, Dragon flips out of the hold, grabs Wicked D’s legs and goes for a standing pin but D manages to grab Dragon’s waist and flips him into a pinning position with a mini-bomb – kick out!!! WOW!!! What an exchange!!! Both men are up and shake hands as the fans cheer their appreciation. I think we’re seeing something special here folks!

Dragon is struggling, trying to break free and is able to grab Wicked D’s leg! He pulls hard sending D crashing to the mat and turns it into an Ankle Lock submission!!! What a reversal!!! Wicked D is able to get to the ropes and force the break!

D pulls him self up and waits for Dragon to get up… lock up and whip to the ropes - Tattered and Torn (Jump Spinning Crescent kick) by the champion! Dragon goes down hard! Wicked D grabs him by the hair and pulls him back up – whip to the rope and Wicked D sends him crashing with a Jumping Hurricanranna!!! But only a 2 count!!! D gets up, runs for the ropes and hits an Asai Moonsault – 1.. 2.. NO!!! Kick out by Dragon!!! Wicked D slaps the mat, then gets up and goes to the top!!! High risk move by the champion – it’s the Napalm Sky (Corkscrew Moonsault) – HE MISSES!!! Dragon saw it coming and was just able to pull himself out of the way!!!

Wicked D is holding his gut in pain as Mad Dragon pulls him up… Dragon grabs him and sends him up and over with a T-Bone Suplex! Dragon doesn’t go for the pin but decides to wear him down more by pulling up the champ and planting him with a German Suplex… roll through and pull up and then another!!!! Dragon rolls through again but this time he sends the champ crashing to the mat with a German Release Suplex!!! Wicked D is bent over himself in the ring as Dragon makes the cover… 1.. 2.. NO!!! Dragon only held one leg and Wicked D got the other foot on the ropes!!! Dragon lets go of the pin attempt and pulls Wicked D to his feet… locks the head and a Russian Leg Sweep sends the Wicked One crashing back to the mat… Dragon uses his momentum to fly over and make the cover… 1.. 2.. NO!! Kick out by the champ! Mad Dragon slides behind him and locks on a Dragon Sleeper – no good, Wicked D won’t submit! Dragon adds a Body Scissors and cinches down the hold… Gargoyle asks again but Wicked D refuse and keeps reaching and scooting until he can grab the bottom rope and force the break! As Dragon releases the hold the fans go nuts! They’re now cheering for both men!!!

Both men get to their feet and lock up… a Knee Lift by Wicked D rocks Dragon! Wicked D whip him into ropes and then ducks down as Dragon leapfrogs him… both men hit the ropes again, only this time Dragon bends down but Wicked D turns and uses his momentum to slide/somersaults over Dragon landing behind him and then hits a Jumping Bull Dog! Dragon just ate the mat! Wicked D pulls him up and doubles over Dragon with another knee… Rocker Dropper on the Madness, but only a 2 count! Wicked D picks up MD and sets him on the top turnbuckle… he hits one of his specialty moves, the Dark Blaze (Sambo Suplex from top rope) on Dragon – 1… 2… 2 ¾!!! Dragon barely got the shoulder up in time! Wicked D, Gargoyle and the fans can’t believe he still had it in him.

Now it is Wicked D’s turn to get frustrated… he throws Dragon into the corner, gets up on the 2nd rope and starts popping him with big right hands until Gargoyle grabs him and pulls him off! D turns and starts to argue but Gargoyle simply indicates No Closed Fists!!! D looks like he’s considering attacking Ian, but turns back to Dragon. Wicked D with a big kick to the gut on Dragon, again – NO! Dragon Screw Leg Whip by Mad Dragon! Wicked D is down in the ring and holding his leg in pain!!! Dragon pulls him up and hits a Double Underhook Suplex with a Roll Over into a pinning predicament – 1.. 2.. NO! Kick out by the champ! Dragon pulls him up again, locks the head and leg and carries him over with a Fisherman Suplex! 1.. 2.. NO!!! Dragon complains of a slow count but Gargoyle shakes his head, indicating that he’s counting the same speed for both of them… and from what I’ve seen I would have to agree.

Dragon pulls D up again and hits a Northern Lights Suplex! He’s bridging for the pin, but D is able to kick out! What a match - I don’t know about you folks, but I expected a brawl not the showing of the sweet science we’re seeing here! Dragon pulls him up again and sets up a Dragon Suplex – NO!!! Back kick!!! A low blow by Wicked D breaks up the move! Dragon is doubled over and Wicked D takes advantage by hitting an Evenflow DDT! Cover… No!!! Only a 2 count! D pulls him up, locks up with him and plants Dragon with a perfectly executed Rock Bottom!!! 1... 2… NO!!! Dragon gets a shoulder up! How did he do that?!?

Wicked D gets up and climbs to the 2nd Rope and then comes off with a Flying Leg Drop – man, he looked like a very scary Bobby Eaton there! D doesn’t go for the pin this time though… he grabs Dragon’s arm, straddles his body and then spins into a Fujiwara Arm Breaker!!! Dragon is in serious pain!!! Gargoyle asks him if he submits and he yells NO!!! D cranks down on it some more and Dragon yells out again! Gargoyle starts calling for the bell but Dragon yells "Don’t You Do It!!!" Gargoyle is torn about the safety of his friend and letting the match continue… he asks Dragon again and he still says no!!! The crowd starts chanting "Mad Dragon – Mad Dragon"!!! Dragon gathers his strength from this and is finally able to squirm enough to loosen the hold and then tries to nip up but flips over so he’s standing in a crouch with D still hanging off his arm, only Wicked D’s shoulders are now on the mat! Gargoyle starts the count but Wicked D lets go of the hold and rolls free! The crowd is standing and cheering both combatants!

Both men look beat… Dragon pulls himself to his feet and is trying to shake the feeling back into his arm as Wicked D gets up to. Dragon grabs him and whips him into the far ropes… Dragon bounces off the near ones and goes for a Flying Cross Body Block but so does Wicked D!!! Both men slam into each other in mid-air and come crashing to the mat… They are both lying nearly unconscious on the mat as Gargoyle starts the count… 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. 7.. 8.. 9.. WAIT!!! Steven Slack has just run to ring side with a chair in his hand but Gargoyle sees him! Slack starts to slide in the ring but Gargoyle hits a Running Hip Bump sending Slack soaring off the apron and into the security railing… Gargoyle yells to the back!!! What the heck?!? Suddenly Jason Perry and X-Factor come running out of the back, oh man, is Gargoyle going to screw Wicked D?!? Here come the Elite… Jenson Zuban, Rufus and Hessian run to the ring too but Gargoyle rolls out and stops all five men, he points to the ring as he says something to them and all five look at each other and nod. Suddenly all five men surround the ring but look outward!!! Oh wow, they’re guarding the ring from any more outside interference!!! Who would ever thought that we would see Destruction Inc. and the Elite WORKING TOGETHER?!?!

Gargoyle calls to the outside and gets the belt… he starts walking to Dragon when Rufus and Hessian step between them… Gargoyle starts to take a fighting pose when he feels a hand on his shoulder… he turns and sees Wicked D being supported by Zuban and asking for the belt. Gargoyle hands it to him – what the hell?!? Rufus and Hessian step out of the way as Wicked D hands the belt to Dragon! Oh my gawd, now I’ve seen everything!!! Gargoyle lifts Dragons hand and then grabs Wicked D’s hand to and lifts both men’s hands into the air as the fans go WILD!!!
