They don’t seem to know whether to cheer or jeer him but they seem to be leaning towards the former. Gargs is dressed in his old red and black but is holding an Outcasts shirt in his hands. He gets in the ring and then calls for the mic: Gargoyle: "Hey little Wolfie D, here it is… this shirt represents the rights to the Outcasts name. If you can beat us tonight, and that’s a mighty big if, then you get the shirt and we give up all rights to the name. However, when we pin your shoulders, 1-2-3, then you will NEVER refer to yourself as an outcast again!!!" Gargoyle throws the mic down and waits. He doesn’t have to wait long cause here come Wolf out of the back, pushing his wheeLeatherbackarrow of weapons to the ring. He gets to the apron and starts tossing stuff over the top rope and into the ring… an iron, a steel chair, a kattanna, a fire extinguisher and a Stop sign!!!

I just beat you hardcore style, but lets see how you fare in a scientific match?" Wolf starts kicking all of the objects out of the ring Wolf: "And since we all know that Ian is the scientific wrestler, you wont be needing this…" Wolf drops the mic, grabs the Gargoyle mask with both hands and rips it in two!!!

He shreds his straight jacket and what is he doing? He is hiding over to the left and is waiting to stalk Extreme! The crowd loves it. The lights go out and "American Bad Ass" thunders through the arena. Fireworks galore and Extreme comes out when the lights resurface. The crowd doesn't even have time to boo him, because right away Asylum cracks him over the head with a broom stick! HARDCORE TITLE! Extreme is shocked by this as he crashes to the cold rampway. Pieces of the broomstick fly in every direction. Asylum picks up Extreme and whips him behind the curtain. We are now in the hallway where wrestlers come through to go down to the ring.

Extreme's already stiched wound POURS blood from his forehead. Ex falls off the Mercedes......cover by Asylum; 1.......2.......no! It's instinct, it's gotta be! Ex BARELY gets the shoulder up! Asylum does not seem worried though as he picks Extreme up and drags him up a ramp in the parking lot. I wonder where this leads........... Asylum randomly slams Extreme's head into the wall as they make their way up the ramp. OH! Ex with a mule-kick to the unit of Asylum. We get up the ramp all the way and what the hell? We are on the second floor of the arena, right by an escalator where the fans get to this floor! A crowd gathers around as Ex goes to work. We get to a souvenir stand where Extreme takes an 'Asylum' tee-shirt and chokes the life out of him. How ironic! After that the gathering crowd starts an 'IHWA' chant. Ex drags Asylum to a concession stand where he slams Asylum's head into a basket condiments. Ex body slam Asylum and goes for a cover; 1.....2....short two. Ex pleads with the ref to count faster.

And we can see the ring! We are about 15 feet up, right near the titantron, just to the left. We come through the entrance and Asylum hits a right hand, which sends Extreme tumbling down the stairs and WHOA! HE ALMOST FELL 15 feet to the ground below! Asylum laughs as he comes down the steps towards Extreme. He picks Extreme up..........what is he gonna do???? Wait! He is yelling to an IHWA official near the stage to SET UP A TABLE?????? He can't be serious! The crowd chants "TABLE! TABLE!" The official gives in and sets up the table, knowing he will pay for it if he doesn't. Asylum is calling for the Shock Treatment from 15 FEET IN THE AIR........THROUGH A TABLE! This is gonna end Extreme's career, possibly his life! He hoists Extreme up.........OH GAWD........but Ex meets him with another hit to the family jewels! Whew, thank God no one is gonna..........OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! Extreme hits a choke-toss sending Asylum flying through the air and CRASHING 15 FEET THROUGH THE TABLE BELOW! The crowd gasps as another 'IHWA' chant starts! Ex stumbles to his feet and looks over the railing and sees Asylum in a heap not moving. He laughs and makes his way back up the entrance to go down a section and inevitably pin Asylum. We go to a split screen. On the left is Extreme going down an escalator to get to Asylum, and on the right is Asylum, laying motionless with bits of the table surrounding him. We see Extreme laugh as he is about to enter the section where he needs to go to pin Asylum.......but WHAT IS THIS???? The crowd ROARS as Asylum gets up! Ex doesn't realize it, but Asylum has gotten up! Asylum holds his back as he staggers down to the ring. Ex gets to the table where Asylum lay motionless. We get an EXTREME close-up of Extreme and look at the shock and dis-belief on his face! He can't believe it! Asylum is telling Extreme to bring it as he stands in the middle of the ring. Ex brushes the blood from his brow and he sprints to the ring. He gets in and misses a clothesline, he comes back and Asylum levels him with a spear! Ex is down. He gets back up........SHOCK TREATMENT! SHOCK TREATMENT BY ASYLUM! Asylum gets up and sees a fallen Extreme. But what is he doing???

Extreme is a bloody, unmoving mess! Asylum finds the energy from somewhere to grab his newly won Hardcore belt. He's gonna hit Extreme with it! NO! He slides under the ropes and climbs the turnbuckle and hoists it high in the air! There is no emotion on his face, BUT THE CROWD LOVES IT! Asylum staggers to back, holding his back in some severe pain, meanwhile E.M.T.'s come down and tend to Extreme. They put him on a stretcher and the crowd, even though they hate him with a passion, cheer his efforts tonight. What a match! Winner by pinfall, and NEW Hardcore champ: Asylum **US Title** Mad Dragon (c) vs Leatherback The sound of a motorcycle fills the arena… Leatherback comes out of the back on his slick, black Harley.

Dragon grabs him and lifts him up and knocks him back down with a series of Ric Flair like chops!!! The crowd yells out WOOOO!!!!, in unison with the blows!!! Dragon pulls Leatherback back up and slams his head against the ring apron!!! Oh gawd, there’s blood everywhere!!! Dragon is standing over his fallen opponent now and laughing… Dragon pulls up Leatherback again and goes to throw him into the ring steps but Leatherback reverses it!!! Dragon hits hard!!! Leatherback rolls into the ring to stop the count out and then rolls right back out… He grabs Dragon and body slams him on the concrete!!! Leatherback pulls Dragon up now by his hair and slides him into the ring… As Dragon lies there trying to catch his breath, Leatherback drops a knee across the small of his back! Again!!! Leatherback sits on Dragon and locks on a Camel Clutch!!! The ref is asking Dragon but he’s yelling NO!!! Leatherback crimps down harder but Dragon wont give! Leatherback is getting frustrated now. He lets go and picks up Dragon and sets him up for a Leatherwhip but Dragon ducks it, and hits Leatherback with a Bridging Belly to Back… 1.. 2.. NO!!! Both men get to their feet and launch themselves off the ropes – DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!!! Both combatants are DOWN!!! The ref starts the count.. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. 7..

The ref asks if Leatherback gives up, but he refuses… Dragon tries a new technique and locks on a Body Scissors in combination with the Dragon Sleeper!!! He is stretching Leatherback out!!! The Ref asks again… Leatherback refuses… Dragon cinches down and Leatherback taps out!!! Winner by submission: Mad Dragon Dragon releases the hold and he and Leatherback exit opposite sides of the ring and head to the back…. We get a commercial for Tuesday Night Terror and it says we’re in for more surprises… wonder what that’s about? Before we get to the main event..........who is this???? It's Prez Faeth!!!!! What is he doing here? He has a mic, so let's hear what he has to say! Prez Faeth: (acknowledges the fans) Thank you! Let me just be brief...........I have been watching what has transpired the last few weeks............the unification of Ra and 'President' Voung........ (The crowd boos.) Prez Faeth: Yes, yes. I know. They have been causing trouble the last few weeks..........and I think it is time that they got what was coming to them.............so without further ado.........let me give you the NEW MAIN EVENT for tonight! (The crowd cheers in anticipation.) Prez Faeth: We have the champion, Alec Diablo..........versus the challenger, Ra............versus Vice President Young!!!! (The crowd cheers.) Prez Faeth: Hopefully one of those two, either Ra or Young, get what they deserve. (Prez Faeth acknowledges the crowd and heads to the back.) **MAIN EVENT** **WORLD TITLE LADDER MATCH** Alec Diablo (c) vs. Ra vs. VP Young Ra's music hits and he comes out to some boos and some cheers. He definitely has some supporters and some nay-sayers. He stands at the top of the runway with his arms extended. He walks down to the ring and shrugs off the boos. He waits for his opponents. YP Young comes out to ALL boos. The crowd hates this man and he looks a little nervous as he makes his way down to the ring. He gets in and he tries to comfort Ra. Ra says that if need be, he will destroy Young in a heartbeat. Diablo comes out to A Perfect Circle's "Judith." He gets mostly boos, but he gets some cheers as well. He saunters down to the ring with his World belt already hanging from the railing just above the middle of the ring. A camera cuts to a shot of a ladder, which stands up by the announce table. Here we go, WORLD TITLE! AD gets in the ring and eyes his opponents down. He then looks up at his belt and he smiles. He locks up with the much bigger Ra. VP Young seems to be staying away from the competition as much as he can. AD pokes Ra in the eyes right from the get-go. He takes advantage and rakes his back! Now that my friends, is old school! YP Young heads to the outside, away from any possible bodily harm. He stands by the ladder. Meanwhile AD hits a suplex on Ra. He calls for the 15 minutes of fame, but Ra counters with a sidewalk slam. Ra now goes for the ladder, He goes to the outside and gets a hold of the ladder, but AD is right behind him, and he hits a running bulldog. AD grabs the ladder, but is cresent kicked by YP Young. Ra gets up and gives AD a big boot for his trouble. Ra takes the ladder and chucks it into the ring. The ladder is in the ring! Ra scoots underneath the ropes and goes to set up the ladder. He looks at the World title in awe. He sets up the ladder........HE STARTS TO CLIMB IT......but AD hits a backwards huricanrana on Ra! That's gotta hurt! He then starts to work on the knee as he said he was going to do. Elbow after elbow to the knee of Ra! Meanwhile VP Young is climbing the ladder!!! He gets his hand on the belt............but AD sets him straight with a super chokeslam! YP Young is out! He lays in the corner in perfect position for..........YES! VAN TERMINATOR BY ALEC DIABLO ON VP YOUNG! Only without the chair! YP Young is dazed. AD gets up and is met with a cross body by Ra. AD is down and now Ra starts the journey up the ladder. He gets halfway and AD meets him with a couple of right hands. Ra kicks AD in the face, but AD kicks the base of the ladder and Ra goes flying to the outside as the ladder tumbles to the floor of the ring! Ra lays on the outside, YP Young is still in the corner where he got Van Terminated, and AD is just now getting to his feet. He picks up the ladder............he sets it up.............he starts to climb the ladder...........but Ra gets in the ring ASAP and intervines with punch to the package! AD crunches over in pain as he falls to the canvas. Ra now starts the climb, yet again........he's about halfway..........YP Young gets up and dropkicks Ra! But he didn't move off of the ladder! Ra keeps going! YP Young ain't too proud, though..........he starts to climb the ladder as well, only on the other side! Him and Ra meet each other with punches when AD gets up. AD is right behind Young climbing the ladder! OH GAWD this is too much weight on the ladder..........ALL THREE MEN HAVE THEIR HANDS ON THE BELT..........NO! NO! NO! The ladder just gave out! All 3 men fall HARD to the canvas! OH MY GAWD THE LADDER IS BENT IN HALF!!!! That S.O.B. is broken! But do we have another ladder? All three men get up and start to beat the hell out of each other. AD hits a powerbomb on Young, then Ra hits a spinebuster on AD. Ra then takes the ladder and tries to climb...........but it is broken DAMMIT! He sees this and NAILS AD with it square in between the eyes! AD is starting to bleed. YP Young gets up, and is immediately sent back down with a shot with the ladder to the gut, then the face. Ra THROWS the ladder out of the ring! Now we have no ladder! We need a ladder out here! But do we have another ladder in the building? Ra doesn't care though........he works on AD's head wound by stepping on it and kicking it. VP Young plays dead as Ra goes to work on AD. Ra hits a gut-wrench suplex, followed by a leg drop. Ra picks AD up and is raked in the eyes. Reverse knife-edge by AD! And another! And another! THe crowd 'whoooooo's!" in delight. AD then kicks Ra in the junk. Ra hunches over and AD nails a DDT. Figure-4 by AD!!!! He has got him in the figure 4!!!! But VP Young stops that with a MONEY SHOT on AD! All three men lay in the ring.........but we still have no ladder! It doesn't matter who gets up first, dammit...........we have no ladder! The belt dangles above the ring. But there is no way to get to it! AD is the first to get to his feet, followed by Ra. AD reaches for Ra........SOLAR FLARE! SOLAR FLARE BY RA! We have a new champ, but STILL no ladder! VP Young gets to his feet...........SOLAR FLARE! SOLAR FLARE ON VP YOUNG! Ra stands in the middle of the ring........he can SMELL the World title! FINALLY, an IHWA official brings out a ladder. Ra sprints out and gets it. He hurls it into the ring........we are close to having a new champ..........he sets it up........AD gets to his feet...........Ra has got 1 hand on the belt..........15 MINUTES OF FAME ON RA from the middle of the ladder!!! AD has just made Ra famous! AD crashes to the ground, along with Ra. That took alot out of AD......VP Young smells blood and greed.....he starts to climb the ladder! He gets up...he has BOTH hands on the world belt..........BUT WHAT IS THIS????????? The ladder COLLAPSES........ and VP YOUNG GOES FLYING TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!! Honestly, we need some better ladders around here! VP Young lays on the outside, while AD and Ra make it to their feet. AD and Ra exchange right hands and what is this???? We go to the top of the runway...........IHWA Officials are setting up....how many is that?...........7 ladders! I guess they are tired of bringing out faulty ladders one by one! AD and Ra both smile. AD pokes Ra in the eyes YET AGAIN and he drags him up the ramp. They head towards to surplus of ladders. Ra hits an X-Factor on AD near the top of the ramp. Ra takes one of the ladders and DRIVES it into the heart of AD. AD wiggles in pain. Ra then takes TWO of the ladders, one in each hand, down towards ringside. AD lays helpless as Ra looks to grab some gold! Ra keeps one on the outside and he throws a ladder in the ring for the THIRD time tonight! He gets in and sets it up..........VP Young distracts him for a minute.............Diablo is pushing a dumpster down to the ring.............Ra climbs the ladder.........VP Young pushes with all of his might and..........OH MY GAWD!!! RA GOES FLYING INTO THE DUMPSTER!!!!! AD shuts the lid and he spots a helpless VP Young! VP begs for mercy but to no avail. AD whips him into the ropes.............back body drop! AD picks him up....short-arm clothesline! AD calls for the 15 minutes of fame.......and he hits it! He just made VP Young famous! AD says it the end! He picks up the ladder and he starts the journey up the ladder! There is no one to stop him...............but what is this??? The lights go out! What the hell is happening.........NO! There they are again! 3 fireballs! But who did they hit??? The lights resurface and we see Ra holding his face.........and WHAT THE HELL?????? DIABLO HAS THE BELT IN HIS HANDS!!! The ref calls for the bell! AD has apparently retained possession of the world belt..........but who in the hell is shooting those fireballs? Winner and still World Champ: Alec Diablo After the match, Ra is still holding his face. Him and VP Young have apparently reconciled as VP orders him to take out AD. SOLAR FLARE BY RA! Ra fights to get the burning sensation out of his eyes, but he SOLAR FLARED AD again! He goes to beat on AD some more, but here comes Mad Dragon! MD saves AD and Ra and him start to brawl........but what is this? Here comes Cobra! And Asylum! And Devestator! And every other IHWA superstar that was in the back! We apparently have another rumble in the making! Everyone is beating the hell out of each other! We gotta go! Thank you Las Vegas! We'll see you on a WILD..........WILD TERROR!
