Willy Carter: Let's go Alex
Dave Holland: He is so arrogant
{“Skillet by Savior” begins to blast across the speakers and as it does James Warren emerges through the curtain to the sound of boos. He is accompanied by his wife Cynthia and smirks as he slowly struts his way down to the ring. Fans begin to boo loudly in his face but he pays no attention to them as he eventually finds himself at the ring. He slides into the ring and kips up to his feet. He sits on the ropes just waiting patiently for his opponent to come out.}
Dave Holland: Jimmy Warren has been trying so hard to become a champion
Eric Hardy: Jimmy can be champion Dave
{Alex and James circle around each other, Alex smirks arrogantly and offers a handshake, Jimmy slaps Alex's hand away Alex shrugs and turns to the crowd before going for a cheap shot. Jimmy ducks and launches himself at Alex with hard rights sending the champion into the corner. Jimmy runs in with a kick sending Alex to the floor and the fans into a frenzy. Alex rolls from the ring holding his head as Jimmy follows, Alex turns around and kicks Jimmy in the stomach before ramming his head into the ring post. Jimmy goes down and Alex smirks.

Willy Carter: No! no! no! Alex's hand was in the ropes!
Eric Hardy: I don't think the referee saw it.
{ A shocked Jimmy rolls out of the ring as a shocked Alex Jones looks as if he's going to have a heart attack. He pleads his case to the referee about his hand touching the ropes, but the ref claims to not have seen it. Jimmy is awarded the title as his music plays and Alex looking infuriated in the ring. }

Match Four
Tag Team Match - Tag Team Championship
Team America (C) v The church of Thor
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{ "Born in the USA" plays over the PA and soon enough, Team America parts the curtain, their tag titles around their respective waists. They walk down the asile, with Simon slapping some hands, and Gib doing the same on the opposite side. Gib slowly walks up the steps, as to not to break anything, as Simon rolls into the ring and parades around with his title.
Eric Hardy: And the tag team champions looking to once again successfully defend their titles.
Willy Carter: This streak has to stop some time. Tonight is the night!
{"Asgard" by White Skull plays over the PA, and...Captain Howdy and Cyrus Daniels part the curtain.
Eric Hardy: Wait a minute, Daniels and Howdy are the opponents for Team America. Where is Kanyon and Kingsley?
Willy Carter: Hey, the card says "Church of Thor" not Stephen Kingsley and Curtis Kanyon. And these two men are part of the Church of Thor.
Eric Hardy: This is absurd.
{ While Gib and Simon are confused as to what's going on Daniels and Howdy start walking down the aisle. Gib and Simon prepare for the two, then Curtis Kanyon and Stephen Kingsley sneak into the ring behind Team America and jump them to start the match!
Eric Hardy: This match is underway, and a cheap ploy by the Church of Thor right off the bat!
Willy Carter: So smart.
Dave Holland: I guess it's by any means.
{ Kingsley is paired off with Gib, while Kanyon tries working over Simon. Kanyon attack and then ends up throwing Simon out to the floor. The official then forces Howdy and Daniels to the back, leaving Gib and Kingsley to fight in the ring. Gib gets the upper hand and tosses Kingsley into the turnbuckle and begins punching him repeatedly. Kingsley then fires back with a few rights of his own. Meanwhile on the outside, Simon and Kanyon continue their fight, leading to Simon throwing Kanyon back first against the apron, before heading to his corner. In the ring, Gib has once again gotten the upper hand on Kingsley, and is beating him down in the vacant Church corner. Gib picks up Kingsley and walks him to another corner and throws him face-first into the buckle. Gib tries to whip Kingsley across the ring, but it's reversed, and Gib hits the corner. Kingsley charges, but meets a Gib elbow, then Gib charges and knocks Kingsley off his feet with a clothesline! Cover by Gib 1....2...Kanyon breaks it up.
Eric Hardy: And the Hall of Famer once again shows his brute force.
Dave Holland: It takes one strong man to knock down Stephen Kingsley with one clothesline.
{Gib stands and motions towards Kanyon to stay in his corner, but when he turns back around, Kingsley charges and tackles Gib back into the Church corner. Kingsley tags in Kanyon and Kanyon unloads with punches while Kingsley holds Gib in place. Breaking at four the Church whip Gib into the ropes, and catch him with a double clothesline that knocks Gib down. Kingsley exits the ring while Kanyon picks up and attempts another irish whip. Gib reverses and on the rebound smacks Kanyon in face with a big boot. Gib reaches over and tags Simon. Simon comes in and ducks a clothesline from Kanyon, and nails him with a spinning backfist that drops Kanyon. Simon turns around and nails Kingsley on the apron a couple of times, then turns back to Kanyon, only to be LEVELED by a rising clothesline.
Eric Hardy: A hard shot drops Simon Daye right there.
Willy Carter: Stupid Daye took a cheap shot at Kingsley and he paid for it.
Dave Holland: Simon took his eye off the ball, and now he's in a world of trouble.
{ Kanyon picks up Simon and tosses him into the waiting boot of Kingsley, which drops Simon. Kanyon takes a couple of shots before tagging Kingsley back in. Kingsley stomps Simon a few times before picking him up and tossing him into a neutral corner. Kingsley fires a few stiff punches to Simon's ribcage before throwing him as hard as he can into the opposite corner. Simon his hard and the impact causing him to face-plant to the mat. Kingsley picks up Simon and hits another hard shot to ribs. Simons starts fighting back however, which punches to the gut, staggering Kingsley. Simon gets to his feet and keeps throwing punches then hits the ropes for added momentum before walking right into a sidewalk slam from Kingsley. Kingsley covers hooking the leg 1....2...Gib breaks it up
Eric Hardy: And just when it seemed that Simon was about to take over, Kingsley is there to cut him off.
Willy Carter: Well, if Simon had any brains, he would have tagged Gib in while he had Kingsley stunned.
{ Kingsley grabs Simon and tags in Kanyon, who takes another free shot. He whips Simon into the ropes and on the rebound, catches him with a powerslam. Kanyon stays on top. 1....2...kickout. Kanyon makes another quick tag to Kingsley as he picks up Simon and brings him back into the corner. Kingsley whips Simon into the ropes and catches him with a bearhug
Eric Hardy: And Simon is in deep trouble in this bearhug.
Willy Carter: That's it Kingsley, squeeze!
{ Kingsley does so, squeezing for all he's worth. the crowd begins to stomp and clap trying to get Simon back into the match, and he begins pumping his fists with the crowd. He fires off a few right hands to the face, which eventually break the hold. Simon again hits the ropes for momentum and again Kingsley stops him COLD with a big boot. Kingsley smirks as he frantically calls for Simon to get up. Daye stumbles up, and Kingsley charges for a clothesline, but Daye ducks, and goes for the "Daye Break" (Flatiner) but Kingsley muscles him up while still in the hold's setup. Simon kicks his feet out, and managed to break Kingsley DOWN with the Daye Break!
Eric Hardy: Daye Break! Now is Simon's chance!
Willy Carter: No!
Dave Holland: Simon's got to make that tag.
{ Simon begins crawling towards his corner, and Gib has his arm outstretched, ready for the tag. Simon keeps crawling, while Kingsley is stumbling to his feet. Kingsley turns just in time to see Simon make the tag!
Eric Hardy: Gib is in!
{ Gib comes in and mows down Kingsley with a clothesline. Kanyon comes in and gets one as well. Gib keeps both men groggy with shots, then knocks Kanyon down with a shoulder block. Gib then pumps his fist, readying the Widowmaker. He whips Kanyon into the ropes, preparing for the punch, but Kingsley stops him with a forearm. The two whip Gib in an attempt a clothesline, but Gib ducks, and clotheslines both men! Kanyon falls, but Kingsley just staggers. Gib then rears back and hits another clothesline which knocks Kingsley down. Kanyon gets back up and Gib nails him in the corner with a clothesline, which drops him to a sitting position. Gib then sees Kingsley getting back up, and goes after him, but Kingsley is able to backdrop a charging Gib over the top rope!
Eric Hardy: And Gib is down.
Willy Carter: Simon is in deep trouble now!
{ Simon comes in and waits on Kanyon to get back up, but Kingsley nails Simon from behind. The referee finally decides he wants to restore order, and tries to get Kingsley out of the ring, but Kingsley walks over to Kanyon and tells him to BANG! Simon. Kingsley stands waiting, but Gib has gotten back up and pulls Kingsley out of the ring. In the meantime, Kanyon is waiting, Simon gets up , and Kanyon charges, but MISSES, hitting the corner turnbuckle. Kanyon stumbles back, right into Gib, who has gotten back into the ring and a MENTAL HEALTH! Gib makes the cover, and 1....2.....3!
Eric Hardy: Team America has done it AGAIN!
Willy Carter: What? No! Illegal! Gah!
Dave Holland: These guys may be the greatest tag team in NCW History!
{ Gib and Simon celebrate in the ring as Simon rolls in with the tag team titles. He hands Gib his title, and they hold them up for the world to see.
Eric Hardy: What a great win for Team America, showing once again they can triumph in the face of adversity!
Willy Carter: Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Eric Hardy: Coming up next folks, a very special match between Nathan Webb and Andrew Jacobsen!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match Five
Singles Match
Nathan Webb v Andrew Jacobsen
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{"Forever Shamed" by Godsmack blares through the arena loudspeaker which is them simultaneously accompanied by a wall of pyro. After the pyro goes down Nathan is shown standing on the entrance ramp along with Rose Acantha standing at Nathan's side.}
Amber Ashe: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied by Rose Acantha, from San Diego, California, weighing 200 pounds, he is the Cold Spider, Nathan Webb!
Eric Hardy: This match is going to be an athletic contest, simple as that. These men are possibly two of the finest pure wrestlers on the planet today, and we’re going to get to see them go at it live on pay-per-view here tonight.
Willy Carter: I’m going to be amazed if I last two minutes into this snoozefest. Stay strong, Willy. Think of Verona. Think of Verona.
{Both proceed down the ramp at a methodical pace. He moves into the far corner and sits on the turnbuckle while Rose moves to the outside and takes her place waiting for the opponent to reach the ring.}
Amber Ashe: And his opponent…
{A loud air raid siren splits the air as the main guitar riff of "Indestructible" hits, and Andrew Jacobsen comes striding out onto the ramp. He takes a few steps forward, looking to either side. Andrew looks dead ahead at the ring, making a gun shape with his hand, and pulls his thumb across his throat as a mass of red and green pyro goes off behind him.}
Amber Ashe: From Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing 235 pounds, he is the North Star, Andrew Jacobsen!
Eric Hardy: Andrew’s a man without a cause right now. Since his loss to The Ace last month, he’s drifted, with no real ambition. What advice would you give him, Dave?
Dave Holland: I’d tell him to get back up and keep gunning for the gold. It’s alright to take time and reevaluate yourself, but you can’t spend too long like that or you just lose all momentum. Andrew’s got to buck up and fast.
{Jacobsen walks down the ramp, staring dead at the ring, and pulls himself up onto the apron. He climbs through the second rope and walks to a corner, checking his gloves as he waits for the match to start.}
Eric Hardy: Referee Johnnie Lei the official assigned for this contest, and here we go!
{The bell rings, and the two men begin circling each other, inching closer. Andrew puts out a hand for a lockup, and Webb accepts, grasping his hands. The two men jockey for position, and Andrew uses his superior size to bear down on Nathan, switching to a side headlock. He grinds the hold, wrenching on it, and Webb backs into the ropes, pushing him off. Andrew rebounds off the ropes, and Nathan drops under. He leapfrogs over the return, and Webb sets, spinning and catching Jacobsen on the jaw with a spinning heel kick! Webb immediately drops into the cover! 1! And a quick kickout by Jacobsen! Webb immediately snares a side headlock of his own, trying to bring his weight to bear on Andrew.}
Eric Hardy: Solid wrestling sequence to start things off, and Nathan Webb has the early advantage here.
Willy Carter: Webb’s got to cling to that advantage like the spider monkey he is, ‘cause if he slips up he’s gonna get hurt.
{Webb bears down on the hold, and Andrew scrapes at the hold, trying to find some purchase. He slips out, transitioning to a hammerlock. Andrew wrenches the hold, which is clamped on tight. Webb fights against it, firing an elbow back at Jacobsen. He throws a second, and a third, staggering the larger man. Webb throws a fourth, and Andrew manages to duck that one, releasing the hammerlock and catching Webb in a bearhug. He immediately snaps that over into an overhead belly-to-belly suplex! Jacobsen rolls to his feet, dropping an elbow on Webb, and hooks the leg! 1! 2! And a kickout from Webb this time!}
Eric Hardy: And now it’s Webb who’s fighting to stay off the receiving end of a three count after that powerful suplex from Jacobsen.
Dave Holland: Suplexes are Andrew Jacobsen’s bread and butter. There isn’t a variant he doesn’t know, and he’ll pull out a truly dazzling array in order to wear down his opponents.
{Andrew hauls Webb up in a front facelock, tossing his arm over his shoulder, and he takes Webb over with a snap suplex. Jacobsen pops his hips, rolling back to his feet, and snaps Webb over with a second suplex. Andrew rolls through and stands up again, doing a little shimmy to pop the crowd. However, when he goes to pull Webb over for the third suplex, Nathan hooks his leg, blocking the attempt. Jacobsen tries again, to the same result. Webb manages to pull himself free of the facelock and grabs a stunned Andrew by the head, holding him in a Muay Thai clinch as he delivers a series of brutal knee strikes to him!}
Eric Hardy: And it looked like Andrew was going to continue that momentum until Nathan Webb managed that reversal! What a back-and-forth contest this has been so far!
Willy Carter: It’s just a bunch of boring technical wrestling. Do something exciting! Make the fans care, damn you! Damn you both for making us all suffer!
{Webb delivers a succession of knee strikes, stopping after about ten to haul Andrew over with a snapmare. He begins laying kicks right into Jacobsen’s spine, each shot causing the Minnesotan to cry out in pain. One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…nine…and Nathan runs to the ropes, coming back and delivering a dropkick that flattens Andrew back out! Webb eschews the cover, instead pulling Jacobsen up by the hair. He yanks Andrew up, delivering a pendulum backbreaker. Nathan holds on, flipping him over and delivering a gutbuster! Webb lets out a loud grunt, and spins Andrew out into a facebuster to complete the THREE STRIKES! He quickly scurries into the cover, hooking the outside leg tightly! 1! 2! THR—NO! Andrew barely gets his shoulder up in time!}
Eric Hardy: The Three Strikes connect, and Andrew was nearly out there!
Dave Holland: That much trauma in quick succession can throw anyone off their game, even a skilled wrestler like Andrew Jacobsen. Webb’s got to put this one away now, while he has the momentum.
{Nathan shakes his head wearily, stepping back and measuring the struggling Jacobsen. Andrew tries to get to his feet, wobbling unsteadily, and drops to a knee. Webb measures him, setting up for the Brain Freeze. He rears back and fires the deadly buzzsaw-like kick…but Andrew ducks underneath the shot! Nathan regains his footing, unsteady, and Andrew fires off a discus chop at him. Webb ducks under it, running to the ropes. He rebounds, looking for a flying knee strike, but Andrew manages to get under him and launch him upwards before delivering a brutal GORDIE HOWE SPECIAL! The crowd comes alive as Webb crashes to the mat, and Andrew drops to his knee, clearly drained by the effort of delivering the move.}
Dave Holland: GORDIE HOWE SPECIAL! And Mr. Hockey couldn’t have done it better himself, what a BRUTAL European uppercut from Andrew Jacobsen!
Willy Carter: Now that’s the kind of big move I was talking about! But you gotta do more than just one big move! You gotta keep ‘em coming! Hear me, Andy? You gotta keep ‘em coming!
{Andrew looks over at the shouting Willy Carter, rolling his eyes and responding by shooting an “Up Yours” gesture at him. Willy looks shocked as the crowd reacts almost as strongly to the rebuke as they did to the reversal. Jacobsen wearily makes it to his feet, as Webb begins hauling himself back up using the ropes. Andrew beckons Webb in, and Nathan obliges, charging. Andrew throws an elbow, but Webb ducks under, hooking his arms and trying for the COLD SQUEEZE! Jacobsen flails, trying to counter out, and manages to free one arm, elbowing Webb in the side of the head. It’s Webb’s turn to swing wildly, and Andrew catches his arm, hauling him into a pumphandle and bringing him down with the CUT THE STRINGS backbreaker! Andrew stands at Webb’s feet and signals to the crowd, who cheer loudly as he grabs Webb’s legs!}
Eric Hardy: Oh my! Could Jacobsen be thinking Sharpshooter here?!
Dave Holland: He almost has to be! Listen to this Memphis crowd going crazy!
{Andrew steps through, crossing Nathan’s legs, and he turns him over into the SHARPSHOOTER! Andrew hauls back on his signature submission hold, letting out a roar of triumph as Webb struggles towards the ropes. Jacobsen really lays back into the hold, putting even more pressure on the spine and knees of the Cold Spider. Webb elbows closer. He’s three feet away…two…one…six inches…his fingers are brushing the ropes…AND ANDREW WALKS HIM BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! He practically folds Webb in half, and after a few more agonizing seconds he reluctantly pounds the mat in submission! Johnnie Lei spins and calls for the bell as Andrew releases the hold.}
Amber Ashe: Here is your winner, Andrew Jacobsen!
Eric Hardy: What a showing from these two men! It was close, but ultimately Andrew Jacobsen managed to pull off the victory against a very game Nathan Webb!
Willy Carter: Gotta admit, that was a pretty fine match. Short, but fine. Both those guys beat the hell out of each other.
{Andrew looks down at Nathan, offering a hand up. Webb accepts wearily, and Andrew nods to him, pulling him up and shaking his hand. Andrew grins, patting him on the back and speaking into his ear before dropping down and exiting the ring. Webb stands in the middle of the ring, the audience applauding his effort. Andrew joins in as he backs up the ramp, sincerely clapping along.}
Dave Holland: Now that’s sportsmanship. It’s rare in this day and age you see someone behaving like that. Andrew Jacobsen is a real old school wrestler, ladies and gentlemen.
Willy Carter: Yeah, he’s old school. He’s prehistoric, acting like that.
Eric Hardy: I speak for everyone who wants to say this to you, Willy…will you please shut the hell up?

Match Six
Singles Match - Grudge Match
Steve Awesome v Trent Helms
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting his name.
"AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!"
Dramatic Pause.
"REGRETS I'VE GOT MINE............!"
All of a sudden "Full of Regrets" comes bursting out of the speakers like a shotgun as Steve Awesome steps out onto the stage. He turns backwards and shows off his vest with a big Steve Awesome graphic on it. Then he peaks his head back and smirks into the camera as pyros blast off on the stage on opposite sides.
Dave Holland I still can't believe, this will be the fifth time, theses men have faced off on Pay Per View.
PACKED MY BAGS LAST NIGHT, MID FLIGHT, ZERO HOUR, 9 AM
"Rocketman by Me First and The Gimme Gemmes play as Trent Helms comes down to the ring, awaiting to Crush Steve Awesome into Space Dust"
Both Trent Helms and Steve Awesome just stare at each other, from the other corners, as Trent looks as if he is foaming at the mouth, thinking about the evil things he will do to Steve in this match, while in the other corner, Awesome puffs out his god like figure, giving Trent the deadly death stare of the Southern Tree Frog from Treelunka, Norman Dafoe rings the bell, as the two men, lock up forcefully, as Steve, the much larger of the two men, manages to shove Trent back into the corner, Trent reverses ground, and manages to tackle Steve to the ground, before Steve throws Trent off him, as both men get to their feet.
Dave Holland -This is the fifth time in the history of NCW, that the two men have faced each other on a pay-per-view, That is the most ever in the history of NCW, and you can just see the intensity here
Eric Hardy - You can clearly see, Trent wants that pay per view victory that has always eluded him, Five times, they have faced each other, and each and everytime, Trent was always denied a pinfall or submission victory over Steve.
Both Steve and Trent stare at each other, before Steve irish-whips Trent into the ropes, Steve drops down as Trent jumps over him, Trent comes back, as Steve drops his head, as Trent leapfrogs over him, as Steve turns around, He gets slammed into by the much smaller Helms with a shoulder block, Steve doesn't move, as he stares at Trent, before suddenly, jumping high in the air and throwing himself on his back.
Willy Carter - What was that, Why did Steve just throw himself to the mat.
Eric Hardy - I have no idea!
Steve gets up, as Trent leaps high into the air, and twirls with a Shuryuken Flying Uppercut, It doesn't even come close to Steve jaw, but he sells it, as he leaps high into the air, and backflips onto his stomach, as the fans boo, before Trent goes for the cover.....One......Two......Three!!!!
Dave Holland - What in the Hell just happened, Trent was like three feet away from Steve's face with that Uppercut, It didn't even come close, and Steve just lied down?
Trent leaps to his feet, and tries his best to look suprised, as he holds his fist to the sky, As he runs around the ring, as Steve hops up, as he rolls out of the ring, as Trent celebrates, before he gets nailed in the face with a cup of beer, as the fans are not happy at all, they were just denied a classic match, as Steve Awesome hops back into the ring
Steve Awesome - I can't believe it Trent, You finally did it, You finally defeated Steve Awesome on Pay Per View, How do you feel, what are you plans?
Trent Helms - Thank You Steve for that, I have to say, you are a beautiful man, perhaps the best looking NCW Interviewer of all time, but Steve, I have to say, it was a honor to battle Steve Awesome to a must own Blu-Ray Release of this pay per view, when it comes out, It was a exhausting, Ninty-Five Minute Classic, that took everything I had, Steve Awesome is a amazing opponent, Now that I defeated him, now that I defeated the last of the Hall Of Famers, I feel it's time for Trent Helms to move on to greater things, But for now, I need to rest, I need to take a break from NCW, But I promise all my fans, I'll return soon, Trent Helms will be back, and better then ever, but it's time for me to recharge my batteries, time for me to enter Odin-Sleep, so I can come back stronger then ever......I love you all, and goodnight!
The Fans begin to boo, as Rocketman by Me First and the Gimme Gemmes begins to play, as Trent walks to the back, as the alleyway is being filled up with garbage thrown by the fans, Awesome stands in the ring for a few moments, trying to start a slow clap for Trent Helms's "Heartfelt" Goodbye Speech, before he shrugs, and walks up the aisle way....
Eric Hardy - Umm.....I don't know what to say about all that...
Dave Holland - Me Either, I was really looking forward to calling a Trent Helms and Steve Awesome classic, and well....even I feel disapointed...
Willy Carter - What are you talking about? That was Awesome.....BEST.....MATCH......EVER!!!!!

The lights go out in the arena, as the crowd pops at the darkness, waiting for the big suprise, before {Insert Holland Brothers Theme] begins to play, as the crowd pops loudly, as The Holland brothers Tag Team NCW-Tron begins to show, as the arena is going nuts.
Eric Hardy - Dave? You knew all along, why didn't you share this, Why didn't you tell Me, Milo is here? Fans, What a great treat we are getting, DAVE HOLLAND IS GOING TO STEP BACK INTO A NCW RING!!!!
Dave Holland - Umm....Eric, I had no idea about this, I have no plans of wrestling.
Eric Hardy - I CAN"T BELIEVE IT THE HOLLA...Wait.....What?
Dave Holland - Yeah I had no idea about this....
The music and tron shut off, as Todd and A.C have no idea what is going on, as they are both yelling at Dave Holland, who even himself doesn't know what is going on....When Suddenly.....The lights go off again....
A.C. Douglas and Todd Williams defeat the Mystery Team.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match Eight
Triple Threat Match - National Championship
The Ace (C) v Joe Everyman v Mike Laszlo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amber Ashe: The following triple threat match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NCW NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP...
{Live To Rise by Soundgarden starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place. Joe Everyman then comes out onto the stage. Joe walks down the ramp while holding their arms up towards the crowd, who has a mixed but mostly face reaction. Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and does a standing jump onto the apron. Joe then climbs into the ring through the ropes and looks around in the crowd and hold up his arm. Then loud blue pyros shoot from the ring posts. Joe then stands and waits.}
Eric Hardy: Here comes a former three time National Champion...
Dave Holland: Joe could make history here tonight by capturing the title for a fourth time..
Willy Carter: I'll believe it when I see it...
{"This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage hits the sound system as Mike Laszlo walks out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a favored reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, a smirk comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a slow confident walk, ignoring the fans along the isle who want to slap his hand, Alexis close behind.
Mike slides into the ring under the bottom rope before posing for the crowd who give him another favored reaction, as Alexis ascends the stairs and enters the ring. Backing into the corner Mike clasps his hands and loosens his wrists waiting for the start of the match.}
Eric Hardy: Here he is, the man who's waged wars with our World Champion over the last three months...
Dave Holland: Mike has already made history with the other singles titles here in NCW, he asked for this match, and now looks to replicate that success with his first National Championship...
Willy Carter: Be careful what you wish for, he's against two veterans and two three time National Champions tonight, he shouldn't take either of them lightly...
{'Sisters of the Light' by Xandria hits as Emma Danielson appears on the left of the stage and Kathleen Conway on the right. Both women face each other from either side of the ramp.
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Now
Follow me through the night
We are sisters of the light
We are daughters of sin
We are laughter in the wind
Follow me through the night
We are sisters of the light
We are wild, we are free
Through the darkness follow me
The two women each drop to one knee, and raise a right arm to herald the arrival of the current reigning National Champion as the song chorus fades. There are a few moments of anticipation before the opening trumpet brings the lights of the arena down to pitch black, and as the soft piano kicks in, our attention is drawn to the twinkling yellow diamond made up itself of shimmering diamonds as it shines bright in the darkness, providing just enough illumination to make out the four Aces. As the lyrics to 'Skyfall' by Adele kick in, a s single white spotlight eliminates the circular platform that The Ace is stood upon with his back towards us, the platform is decorated to look like a roulette wheel.
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the Earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away I'm stolen...
Slowly it spins a full one-eighty degrees and as the chorus is reached, and we see The Ace facing us with the National Championship around his waist, the lights in the arena start to flash yellow and cards begin to fall from the rafters.
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together...
The Ace waits a moment before stepping off the platform and both women rise and take an arm, and the trio proudly walk through the shower of falling cards, hand in hand.
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At sky fall
At sky fall
Sky fall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
At the foot of the ramp, the cards stop falling as Kathleen kisses her husband on the lips.
You may have my number
You can take my name
But you'll never have my heart
The Ace then confidently struts over to the steel steps as Kathy remains at ringside, armed. Emma also remains at ringside as The Ace climbs the steel steps towards the ropes and steps through them. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle unhooking his title belt and climbing the second rope. He raises both arms in the air, the title belt dangling from his right hand.
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together...
The Ace then climbs down and he walks to the middle of the ring, removing his jacket as the song fades, the lights return to normal...
Eric Hardy: That was quite the entrance by our reigning and defending three time National Champion here tonight...
Dave Holland: Did you honestly expect anything less from a man with an ego like his?
Willy Carter: Show some respect Holland, that man is not only a great Champion but a great Head of Starlets, and it just so happens he's brought out two of his Starlets with him...
The Ace then hands his belt over to the referee who holds it up in the air whilst Amber Ashe introduces the three competitors.
Amber Ashe: Introducing the challengers. First from Washington DC, weighing 252 pounds, JOE EVERRRRYMAN!
{Joe stares at The Ace who simply smirks at him.}
Amber Ashe: And his opponent, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds, MIIIKKE LASSSZLO!
{Mike raises his arms in the air to cheers from the crowd.}
Amber Ashe: And their opponent, from Birmingham, England, weighing 246 pounds, he is the three time current
reigning and defending NCW National Champion and The Apex of Evolution...THE ACCCCEEEEEE!
{The Ace simply smirks as he casually leans back in his corner. The bell rings to start the match, and Joe Everyman wastes no time at all in making a run straight for The Ace from his corner, and laying into the smug British bastard which shots to the body, trapping the National Champion in the corner as he rains down with blow after blow, The Ace raises his arms to shield himself but this doesn't stop a determined Joe from hammering into him. For the sake of variety, Joe then begins to kick away at the man who put his tag team partner out with a back injury.}
Eric Hardy: Joe is on fire!
Dave Holland: He's out for revenge!
Willy Carter: I didn't think anybody cared that much about Davey Ortega...
{Mike takes a step forward from his corner, teasing an intervention but thinks better of it and leans back against the ropes letting the two men fight it out as he winks at Alexis on the outside and smiles.}
Eric Hardy: Look at Laszlo...
Dave Holland: He's clearly enjoying this...
{Joe then starts stomping a mud hole into Ace and walking it dry, Joe then drags Ace up to his feet with a handful of his long blonde hair and hooks him up for a vertical suplex, it is then that Mike decides to finally get involved and assists Joe as both men deliver a double suplex to the current National Champion, both men well aware that his back was still tender from the vicious Dragon's Den last month.}
Willy Carter: Oh now he decides to get involved!
Dave Holland: Beautiful double team suplex there...
Eric Hardy: I'm not sure how long this alliance will last...
{After both men have taken down The Ace they look at each other for a moment and Mike Laszlo extends his hand to Joe Everyman and the two men nod and shake hands, having formed some kind of alliance to eliminate the Champion. Both men then drag Ace up to his feet and whip him across the ring, but on the rebound Jake finally gets his bearings and hits Joe and Mike with a double clothesline taking both his challengers down in the middle of the ring.}
Willy Carter: Yes! Haha!
Eric Hardy: That's why you shouldn't count Ace out
Dave Holland: That's why he's a ten year veteran in the business...
{The Ace then turns his attention to Mike Laszlo and hooks him up for a Jackhammer Suplex, holding him vertically in position for a moment before driving him down into the mat. Jake then gets to his feet and turns his attention to Joe before hooking him up for a butterfly backbreaker, bringing the former three time National Champion down back first across his knee. Meanwhile Laszlo has found his way back to his feet and starts trading fists back and forth with Ace, the crowd booing with each shot Ace lands but chanting 'WANT!' 'TAKE!' 'HAVE!' in succession with each blow that Mike manages to land in answer. Three of these stiff shots drive Ace back against the ropes giving Laszlo the advantage to grab the National Champion by his arm and whip him across the ring and on the rebound catch him with a vicious spinebuster, but Laszlo has little time to celebrate as Joe grabs Mike from behind and delivers a German Suplex, Joe keeps his hands locked firmly around the waist of Laszlo, pops the hips and delivers a second, then a third...a fourth, and the crowd are roaring as they count along, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, an eighth, a ninth, but they are denied a tenth much to their dismay, by Ace who picks his spot and delivers a superkick to the chin of Joe as he gets back to his feet with the woozy, hunched over Laszlo. Joe is forced to relinquish his grip on Laszlo and Mike crumples to the mat as Joe goes down.}
Dave Holland: Good lord what an exchange!
Eric Hardy: Suplex after Suplex after Suplex...
Willy Carter: Yeah well that superkick from Ace sure put an end to that...
{The Ace knows Laszlo is out of it and kicks him as he rolls under the bottom rope out of the ring, right in front of a very concerned Alexis. The Ace snaps his head around and sees that Joe is still down and immediately walks over and drops down into a pin, hooking the leg...1...2...Joe kicks out, showing Ace first-hand the heart that earned Joe the National Championship on three separate occasions, but The Ace is a veteran himself and so doesn't allow himself to get too frustrated. He takes a step back and allows Joe to get back to his feet, before hitting him with a neckbreaker.
Ace follows up his advantage by sitting Joe up on the mat, and planting his knee firmly in the NCW mainstay's spine and applying a grounded Dragon Sleeper, torquing the neck back and looking for the submission, but Joe somehow finds the heart within himself to resist, no doubt encouraged by his ravenous fanbase of Everymaniacs as they cheer him on, Joe reaches down deep inside himself and starts to reach up under his chin, looking to break The Ace's grip, when this proves futile, Joe still doesn't give in and instead firmly plants his feet into the canvas and arches his back up forcing The Ace to slacken his grip around Joe's chin, and then he then kicks up behind him with one leg, his boot connecting with The Ace's temple, a second shot to the face and Joe is free as The Ace stumbles back clutching his face.}
Eric Hardy: Tremendous show of heart by the former three time Champ here...
Dave Holland: Moves like that are why he says you should never question his heart...
{Joe kips up to his feet and seems to have a sixth sense about his surroundings as he catches Mike Laszlo from behind as Laszlo was leaping off the turnbuckle having made his way back into the ring and no doubt hoping to catch Joe unaware, but instead he is caught and driven face first into the mat with a devastingly beautiful EKO that brings the sold out crowd to their feet.}
Dave Holland: EKO! EKO!
Eric Hardy: Out of nowhere!
Willy Carter: Settle down, crazy white folk!
{Joe showboats and this proves costly as he his spun around by Ace into his own version, the Reversal of Fortune. The cheers turn instantly into massive boos but The Ace ignores them as he goes for the cover on Joe...1...2...Joe kicks out and Ace immediately turns around and tries for a cover this time on the fallen Mike Laszlo...1...2...Mike kicks out as well and The Ace can't believe it, he starts to argue with the referee, and it is at this time that Alexis gets up on the apron, presumably to buy her client more time, seeing this, both Emma and Kathy pull her down from the apron and stare her down, Alexis slaps Emma, who stands firm, and simply smirks. Alexis then turns to Kathy who raises up the rake that she had brought with her and looks to strike her, but unfortunately for her, this has caught the referee's attention who reaches over the ropes to disarm Kathy.}
Willy Carter: Hey ref, pay attention to the match not the Starlets!
Eric Hardy: Kathy had bad intentions there!
Dave Holland: Look at Emma, she seems completely unphased by that slap!
{The distraction however has done its job for Mike Laszlo who has recovered enough to sneak up behind The Ace and catch him with a low blow. Mike then turns his attention to Joe who is slowly rising to his feet, and gives him a receipt for the EKO from earlier with a Cutter of his own.
Mike doesn't go for the cover choosing instead to drag Joe to his feet and whip him into the opposite turnbuckle before running and connecting with a knee and following up with a bulldog planting Joe face first into the canvas as the crowd are divided in their reaction. Mike then takes a step back before walking around to Joe's legs, he grabs one of them and screams 'WANT!' TAKE! HAVE!' before locking in the Figure Four. Joe screams as he looks up and notices the ropes are out of his reach and it seems that Joe may have no choice but to tap out.}
Eric Hardy: Joe is in trouble here!
Dave Holland: Take it from me that's one time tested move that hurts like Hell...
Willy Carter: Get up Ace!
{Joe screams out as he sits up as Mike continues to apply the pressure, it is then that Joe realises that he has to reverse the hold or tap out, so he uses his slight weight advantage in an effort to turn Mike over onto his stomach, after two failed attempts that force Mike onto his side and no further that Mike flips right back with all the relentless persistence of a pit bull, the third attempt proves successful as in a tremendous show of heart, Joe flips Mike over onto his stomach and reverses the pressure of the hold, leaving Mike no choice but to release the hold.}
Eric Hardy: Joe broke the hold!
Dave Holland: After that how can you not believe in Joe Everyman?
{The Ace picks his spot from a corner and waits for either man to be the first to their feet, and Mike Laszlo is that unlucky one, he turns right around and gets speared right out of his boots by the defending Champion.}
Willy Carter: Spear!
{Seeing that Joe is still recuperating from the effects of the submission hold, The Ace grins as he drags Joe by his legs to the centre of the ring and locks in a Sharpshooter. Leaning back to apply maximum pressure, he throws his head back and laughs, much to the delight of an onlooking Emma Danielson. Kathy looks over at Emma and seems to take some exception to her delight as the two women exchange words we are not an audience to because our attention is focused on the match.}
Eric Hardy: The Ace is a submission specialist and he's showing it here!
Dave Holland: It could all be very academic from here...
Willy Carter: Tap out Joe!
{It seems that Joe is on the verge of passing out, but then Mike Laszlo keeps Joe's historic fourth National Championship hopes alive by saving him and superkicking Ace right in the face forcing him to break the hold. Mike then scrambles for the pin and hooks the leg hoping to win his first National Championship...1...2...The Ace kicks out, as Mike slaps the canvas in frustration, he tries again...1...2...same result as The Ace kicks out again.
Mike then gives this up and decides to go back to Joe Everyman and try once again for the Figure Four, once again screaming out his catchphrase as he has the leg but this time Everyman has it scouted and rolls Mike into a small package, catching him completely off guard...1...2...almost 3, but Mike barely kicks out as Alexis seems like she almost had a coronary at ringside.
Both Joe and Mike slowly get to their feet and meet each other to trade blows, the crowd split for the two men. Joe gets the better of the exchange this time, and kicks Mike in the gut before delivering a good old fashioned powerbomb to Mike Laszlo planting him into the canvas.
Eric Hardy: Powerbomb!
Dave Holland: Wait a minute, what is Joe thinking here?
Willy Carter: Who knows with that crazy white boy!
{Joe gets a slightly crazed look in his eyes as he looks over to the A Night to Remember sign that hangs over the arena promoting NCW's upcoming biggest show of the entire year and makes his way over to a turnbuckle, he starts to climb it and then taunts from his perch, holding up four finger as he waits for Mike Laszlo to stumble back to his feet, and as Mike finds his footing Joe leaps off the turnbuckle only to be caught mid air. Mike flips Joe around into a tombstone piledriver position, but takes a little too long teasing it, as Joe manages to flip it back and deliver a tombstone piledriver of his own to Laszlo as the crowd explode. Joe scrambles for the cover, even hooking the leg...1...2....3....NO...BOOT TO THE HEAD AND BOOS as The Apex of Evolution reminds anyone who might have forgotten that he was still very much a factor in this match.}
Willy Carter: Looks like you forgot about somebody, Joe...
Dave Holland: We all almost did after that amazing exchange!
{The Ace takes a bow, soaking in the disdain from the crowd, almost feeding off of it as he peels Laszlo up off the mat and delivers a powerful tilt-a-whirl slam rattling the canvas with Mike's body. The Ace then turns his attention to Joe and drops the groggy fan favourite with a devastating DDT. Not satisfied he picks Joe off the mat and hooks him up for a tiger driver, driving him down and following through with the pin attempt...1...2...3...NO....KICK TO THE SPINE AND CHEERS as Laszlo has recovered enough to break up the fall and save the match for himself.}
Eric Hardy: And Mike Laszlo returns to assert himself!
{Seizing his advantage, Mike pulls The Ace to his feet and delivers a move that the current Champion is very familiar with, his version of the Butterfly backbreaker, albeit he is a little too focused this time on the task at hand to play to the crowd with his customary O-H-I-O knowing that showboating almost cost him last time, Mike floats over for the pin...1...2...3....NO...a basic but still effective elbow drop breaks up the pin and keeps Joe Everyman's Championship hopes alive.}
Dave Holland: That was close!
{Joe shoves Mike away and tries for the pin himself, seeking his ultimate retribution for the fall of Davey Ortega...1...2...Mike grabs Joe by the ankle and pulls him off Ace...scrambling for the pin himself...1...2...this time its Joe's turn for the ankle grab and yanking Laszlo off the pin attempt.
Mike and Joe get in each other's faces and start to argue amongst themselves about pinning Ace. The cocky and arrogant outspoken young Laszlo will have none of it as he shoves Joe in the chest, Joe answers with a shove of his own, and the disagreement has given the current Champion enough time to get back to his feet and grab both men by the head and force the two to have a little meeting of the minds.}
Willy Carter: Haha, that was great!
Eric Hardy: So much for alliances I guess...
Dave Holland: It really is every man for himself in these types of matches!
{The Ace keeps a hold of Joe and walks him over to the ropes before tossing him over and out of the ring. Emma immediately converges on Joe preventing him from entering the ring again, meanwhile Kathy goes over to Alexis who again is trying to climb the apron to distract the referee and pulls her down and slaps her hard across the face.
The Ace meanwhile has walked back over to Laszlo and kicks him in the gut whilst he is still woozy, grabbing his head in a front facelock and jumps up and backwards delivering a beautiful Ace-Plant right in the middle of the ring...hooking the leg and following through with the cover 1...2...3...}
Willy Carter: Ace has done it!
Dave Holland: Ace retains the gold...
Eric Hardy: Not without a little timely assistance...
{On the outside Joe goes nuts having and starts flipping the top off the Spanish announce table. having just been forced to watch as his dreams and chance for retribution and redemption all slip away. Joe then grabs a steel chair, wielding it and warning Emma not to stop him, Joe climbs into the ring and first clocks a celebrating Ace in the head with the chair sending him down. Joe then slaps the canvas with it waiting for Laszlo to get up and as he does so, Joe scrambles his brains with the chair shot as well. The crowd are split in their reaction as Joe takes the National Championship from the referee and drapes it over the fallen body of the successfully defending Champion. Joe then leaves shaking his head and celebrating with the chair at the top of the ramp.}

Main Event
Singles Match - World Championship
Roberto Verona (C) v Will Washington/color]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric Hardy: Welcome back everybody, it is time for our main event!
Dave Holland: It is going to be a corker, Will Washington looks to silence his critics once and for all as Roberto Verona is only a month away from equalling the title records of Adam Knite, Lance Ryan and Falcon.
Willy Carter: Damn right he is, my man Roberto is going to make history.
Amber Ashe: This next match is scheduled for one fall and is for the NCW World Championship!
{The lights in the arena go dark and the crowd anticipation amplifies. The voice of an old man comes through the speakers.}
“For years prophets have spoken of the arrival of a man. A man who exemplifies all that is right, good, and just in the world. A man who would leave a lasting legacy that would forever change the world as we know it. This… is that man.”
{The lights in the arena go dark and the crowd anticipation amplifies. ‘Battle of Heroes’ by John Williams hits throughout the arena, giving us an epic feel, before a single spotlight shines down at the top of the ramp. Will Washington steps out into the spotlight and soaks in it’s rays. After a moment of this, Will throws a punch and an explosion of pyrotechnics goes off on each side of the spotlight, and the arena lights come back on. Will looks to both sides of the crowd before smirking and starting down the ramp. Washington walks down the ramp with a certain swagger as the feeling of superiority washes over him. He reaches the arena steps and walks up them before turning around to play to the crowd. Our hero turns back around and wipes his boots on the outside ring apron before stepping through the ropes. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and smirks out towards the fans before dropping back down and removing his dog tags, handing them to someone at ringside. Washington looks backs into a corner and stands there, getting loose while waiting for the match to start.}
Amber Ashe: Introducing first, the challenger, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Will Washingtonnnnnnnn!!!!
Eric Hardy: Will has worked very hard for his opportunity here tonight, could he finally redeem himself?
Willy Carter: No.
Dave Holland: Bit blunt, Willy. Will has, in my eyes, a good chance here tonight and you have to be in it to win it.
Willy Carter: You also need to be better than your opponent, and he isn’t.
{ The lights in the arena all go out at "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to blare out of the PA system. Spotlights begin to scan the crowd before fixating on a figure at the top of the stage which is revealed to be Roberto Verona, his head bowed towards the floor. As boos being to resonate around the arena Verona raises his head, the NCW World Championship wrapped around his waist, and he begins a slow methodical march down the ramp, the spotlight following him as golden pyro rains down from above on the stage. Verona stares with disgust at the crowd who heckle him as he approaches the ring, but he doesn't react to them. As he reaches the steps he slowly ascends them before walking towards the middle of the ring apron, turning around to look into the crowd one last time before looking up and closing his eyes as he stretches his arms out wide and basks in the abuse. After indulging himself Verona climbs into the ring, raising the NCW World Championship high above his head as he awaits the beginning of the match. }
Amber Ashe: And his opponent, he is the reigning NCW World Champion and the Saviour of NCW, from Firenze, Italy, Roberto Veronaaaaaaaa!!!!
Willy Carter: Now there’s a real champion.
Eric Hardy: As much as I dislike the way he operates, Verona proved he was a worthy champion last month in his cell match with Mike Laszlo.
Dave Holland: Few men enter those sort of structures and emerge the same, but Roberto did what he said he would and now he has a chance at immortality.
{ Roberto hands his title belt to the referee who passes it to a ringside technician as he looks around the arena which showers him with boos, raising a little smile from the champion who continues his warm up as Will waits for the bell. Once it sounds he charges at the champ who does he best to block the assault but he can’t help being tackled to the ground as Will begins to lay fists into his face, though Roberto manages to get his arms up to block the flurry of blows. Will is clearly up for this match as he rains down with fists but eventually he is pulled away by the referee which is the moment Verona was waiting for as he rolls out of the ring, shaking one of his arms as he tries to get some life back into it whilst the official holds Will back. Verona laughs, doing his best to irritate Will even further who reaches frantically over the ropes to try and get at the champ. }
Eric Hardy: Will is certainly pumped up for this match!
Willy Carter: Of course he is, he doesn’t get many opportunities. He’s going to fail, but still.
Dave Holland: He needs to watch what he is doing here and get his temper under control.
{ Finally the referee manages to calm Will down as Verona stands on the outside demanding assurances that he will be able to enter the ring again uncontested and true to the officials word he holds Will back as Verona slides back in, scouting his opponent out. However, he has little time to rest on his laurels as Will charges forwards at him but this time Roberto has him figured out, delivering a stiff punch to the gut which sends Will keeling over briefly, grabbing the ropes. Sensing his opportunity Verona tries to grab Will but he receives an elbow to the face for his troubles as Washington turns around and being to send Verona staggering back with some right hands before the referee intervenes. }
Willy Carter: Get this animal off him!
Eric Hardy: Willy, this is a wrestling match.
Willy Carter: Exactly, this is a brawl!
Dave Holland: Will is really enforcing his will to win on this match, but there’s some way to go yet.
{ Roberto reels backwards after several punches as he clutches his face as Washington pursues him only to find Roberto’s fist waiting for him before Washington begins to hunch over in a corner forcing the referee to push Roberto away. Roberto backs off and raises his hands in the air but is punished as Will stands back up and lands a sharp kick to his gut which meets the approval of the crowd who are behind both men as Will brings an elbow down across the back of Roberto’s skull which sends him down to one knee. Before he has a chance to regroup Roberto receives a kneecap to the side of his skull which sends him rolling into the middle of the ring. }
Dave Holland: Things are starting to pick up now, but it is still fairly even between both men.
Willy Carter: Don’t worry my man Robbie V will sort this reprobate out shortly.
Eric Hardy: Big words for such a stupid man.
Willy Carter: Hey, I can’t help it if you’re not on my intellectual plane.
{ Holding his hands up mockingly Will paces backwards away from Verona but Roberto uses the time he has been given to charge at Washington before landing a clothesline to send Washington down who just bounces straight back up only to be met with another clotheslines which keeps him down. Taking his opening Verona bounces off of the rope and as Washington manages to get up to one knee he grabs his head and lands a DDT before he begins to apply a headlock to Washington. Finding himself in a precarious position Washington begins to sprawl his arms out looking for an escape route and luckily a rope is inches away, forcing Verona to break the hold much to the champion’s annoyance. }
Dave Holland: Will gets out of that one in the nick of time!
Eric Hardy: I can’t say I like either man….but I don’t know which I want to see hurt the most. Verona just keeps escaping from the beating he richly deserves.
Willy Carter: The only person who deserves a beat down here is you Hardy.
{ As Roberto lets off some steam Washington rolls backward and gets up quickly and lays a boot across Verona’s jaw whilst he isn’t paying attention which catches him completely by surprise before circling towards the ropes as he regroups and plots his next move, taking a moment to recover. Deciding quickly he races back at Verona but he is met by a charging Roberto who has recovered as he collides with his midriff sending him shoulder first to the mat before he begins to lay right hands into Will’s skull. Realising he can’t land any more he gets up and runs against the ropes as Washington sits up and lands a vicious knee to the skull which sends the challenger straight back down before he stops at the ropes, grabbing them and shooting a sadistic smile down at the fans }
Eric Hardy: If he spent as much time concentrating on this match as he does winding people up Verona could have had this one sown up by now.
Willy Carter: He is just enjoying himself, he works very hard for us you ungrateful fool.
Dave Holland: This could backfire on him…
{ Roberto lifts himself up and takes a few steps back to assess his next move as Will gets on his hands and knees and finds out Verona’s next step as he is met with a running knee to the face which sends him back down to the mat again. Making sure he keeps on top Roberto lifts Jacobson up and hits a suplex on Will which sends him hurtling across the ring towards a corner, which he scrambles into to try and get away from the onslaught but to no avail. Spotting that Will has sat himself up in the corner he charges at him and hits a knee to the skull before continuing the stomp on Washington. Before long the referee has to pull Verona back and begins to tick him off. }
Dave Holland: The champion is quite literally putting the boot in.
Eric Hardy: He can afford to be disqualified though, he will still retain the belt he prizes so dearly.
Dave Holland: Perhaps.
{ Holding his hands up again Roberto paces backwards but Jacobson uses the time he has been given to charge at Verona before landing a clothesline of his own to send Verona down who bounces straight back up only to be met with another clotheslines which keeps him down. Taking his opening Will bounces off of the rope and as Verona manages to get up to one knee he grabs his head and lands a tornado DDT before he begins to apply a headlock to Verona. Finding himself in a precarious position Verona begins to sprawl his arms out looking for an escape route and luckily for him there is a rope just inches away from his fingertips, forcing Will to break the hold. }
Dave Holland: Nice reversal of fortunes there by Will, it was required to get himself back in to this one.
Willy Carter: Verona is just taking a breather…
Eric Hardy: Your bias sickens me.
Willy Carter: As does yours.
{ Will punches the mat in anger before picking Verona up and putting his head between his legs and hooking his arm before delivering a Tiger Driver which sends Verona down to the mat awkwardly. Wasting no time Will spots Verona’s legs have yet to fall to the floor and quickly grabs him by the ankles as he looks around, smiling sadistically before pulling Roberto into the middle of the ring. With a quick motion he places his leg in position to lock in the figure four leg lock. }
Dave Holland: It’s not looking great for Roberto right now being dragged to the middle of the ring for another submission hold.
Willy Carter: Kick him in the face Roberto! The face!
{ The referee drops to his knees besides Verona to ask if he gives up but he is met with a defiant shake of the head and Will applies further pressure to the knees of Verona. Grinning from ear to ear Will continues to push Roberto to his limits of endurance, the latter writhing in pain in the middle of the ring with no hope of a rope break in sight. With all his remaining strength Roberto lifts himself up and begins swaying left and right as he attempts to reverse the move and place the pressure on Washington’s limb but Will fights back as the pair struggle to gain dominance over the submission manoeuvre. }
Eric Hardy: This is beginning to get very technical, which man can get the upperhand?
Willy Carter: Roberto, obviously.
Dave Holland: This match is living up to our expectations, I just wonder what it might take for either man to pick up the victory they craze so desperately.
{ Each time Verona looks to have reversed the move Will somehow manages to roll him back into position as they tussle for control before eventually each man lays on their side. Will pushing one way, Verona the other before finally he manages to reverse the manoeuvre, both men laying on their fronts as Will feels the pressure of his own submission move. As quickly as possible he struggles and manages to get his legs free from Verona as he crawls to the ropes, grabbing the bottom one firmly with both arms as Roberto begins to stagger to his feet. Will doesn’t want to see Verona get back in this match and promptly charges at him and attempts to sweep his legs from beneath by diving shoulder first at his left knee but Verona spots this move and jumps over him but he goes clattering into the referee who hits the mat quite hard. }
Dave Holland: Ouch, the official took a pretty big hit just there, although it was accidental.
Eric Hardy: Perhaps, but we both know these two men are quite willing to exploit any break in the officials’ gaze.
Willy Carter: Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
{ Realising that the referee is dazed Verona suddenly rolls out of the ring as quickly as he can, scampering across towards the technicians and grabbing a steel chair before racing back into the ring. Will begins to get back to his feet slowly as Roberto begins to stalk him, begging him to get back to his feet and as he does he slowly turns round as Verona swings his chair and…..hits the mat? A loud crash can be heard as the metal hits the mat and Verona quickly tosses the chair to one side, dropping to the mat and rolling around holding his face reminiscent of a diving footballer. The crowd begin to laugh as Will looks around frantically, quickly realising the danger he is in as the referee gets back to his feet. Realising he has few options, he suddenly drops to the mat clutching his own face as he begins to roll around just as the official turns around, a look of confusion written across his face as the crowd applaud both man amidst laughter. }
Willy Carter: Will just cheated!
Eric Hardy: Wait….what?
Dave Holland: A sly move by Verona countered by a sly move from Will! I have a feeling neither man is going to profit from this….
{ The referee looks at both men who roll around in “agony” and just shakes his head, going to check the pair who both profess that the other struck him with an illegal weapon. The official isn’t quite sure what to do so, rather than agreeing with either he simply slides the chair out of the ring and calls for the match to continue, much to the chagrin of both competitors who suddenly leap up to their feet completely unharmed, arguing their cases to the official. The referee, however, is having none of it as he tells both of them to get on with it, which just forces the pair to begin to argue with one another instead, accusing the other of foul play. }
Eric Hardy: Neither of these men can claim a moral victory here…
Dave Holland: They’re both very capable of playing dirty, but it has backfired on the pair of them.
Willy Carter: Will Washington should be fired and banned from this sport for his reckless behaviour.
{ As Will begins to poke a finger into Roberto’s chest the champion suddenly swings a fist which catches Will completely off guard as he stagger away from his opponent who continues to arguing with the referee who is simply having none of it but as he turns around Will comes storming back at him swinging a leg right at Verona’s groin but as he does so Roberto does the exact same things sending both men down to the mat clutching their unmentionables as both do their best to one up each other in the soul play stakes. The referee simply places his hand on his hips and shakes his head, running quickly out of ideas though he elects to disqualify neither man who roll around in agony, cursing at one another. }
Willy Carter: See! What a terrible cheat Will is, this match should be over. Referee ring the bell!
Eric Hardy: Sit down you idiot.
Dave Holland: Both men seem intent on trying to out-cheat one another to victory, but somebody is going to have to return to the finer arts of professional wrestling to pull a victory off as the official is quite rightly not having any of this.
{ The crowd begins to will both competitors to their feet so this match can continue but neither man is looking like they are ready to get up, despite the wishes of the audience. Moments pass until both men starts to stir, but neither are getting up quickly as the referee goes back and forth between the pair to check on their status as they both clamber towards the nearest set of ropes to seek some sort of leverage to help get them to their feet. Verona finally reaches the top rope as Will also does the same as neither man gains an advantage over the other. }
Dave Holland: Both men are on their feet but who is going to take advantage of the situation?
Eric Hardy: The crowd want to see more despite disliking both men and who can blame them?
{ Verona picks himself up and watches Will carefully, staying a few feet away to avoid any mishaps as he labours over his next move. Before long Will begins to stir with a bloody intent in his eyes as he looks up to see Verona charging at him. In a split second decision he decides to lunge forward and attempt a spear and he connects with a huge thud sending both my men hurtling back down to the mat. Neither get up, Verona writhes around clutching his ribs, kicking the mat to try and divert some pain as Washington recovers after using up what was left of his energy to land the spear. First to his feet is Will Washington who stagger before leaning upright on the ropes, regaining his composure as his opponent finally begins to stand up as well. Will runs at Verona and hits a flying elbow to the face of the champion which sends him back to the mat, but he manages to get up as Washington goes for another superkick only for Verona to duck the attempt groggily. }
Eric Hardy: This is getting insane, it’s like neither man can bear giving an inch to the other.
Willy Carter: Where as you regularly give many inches to many men, right Hardy?
Dave Holland: Nice move by Washington to get back into this, but it was matched by Verona’s ability to dodge that superkick!
{ Verona turns around as does Will who goes for a clothesline but Roberto manages to duck again and grabs Washington by the head and falls backwards, landing a neckbreaker. Picking himself up Roberto moves back towards Will and sets him up in position for a powerbomb. Steadying himself he hoists Washington in the air and proceeds to put him into the Fall Idol powerbomb (Crucifix powerbomb). The crowd erupts with a huge chorus of boos as he parades Will around on his back, the latter shaking his head as he finally comes to and realises the predicament he is in. Kicking furiously he tries as ahrd as he can to escape, sliding down Verona’s back but as he does so he manages to push Roberto right into the referee who crumples into a heap in the corner as Verona also hits the deck, a little dazed by the sudden impact. }
Dave Holland: Wrestling officiating is a very dangerous profession…
Eric Hardy: He is going to begin to wish he has never turned up at work today.
Willy Carter: More cheating by Will Washington, this guy doesn’t deserve to be wrestling such a fair competitor like Roberto.
{ Realising that this time he may be able to actually take advantage of the referee’s incapacity Will slides out of the ring and picks up the chair slapping it as mouthing his intention to “use it this time” as Verona staggers trying to get back to his feet. Sliding back in Will begins to walk back towards Roberto, raising the chair above his head before swinging it downwards but as he does Verona launches up from his feet planting his forearm up between Will’s legs causing him to immediately drop the chair. Raising himself up Roberto brings Will with him, placing him on his shoulder as he kicks the chair out of the ring as the referee gradually gets to his feet. Smiling Roberto twists his body as he drops Will with an Ides of March, leaving him prone in the middle of the ring. Covering him as quickly as he can Roberto looks at the referee who rolls over and begins to slap the mat…1….2…..3!!! Roberto Verona retains his title! }
Amber Ashe: And here is your winner, and still NCW World Champion, Roberto Veronaaaaa!!!!
Willy Carter: Justice prevails! Wooooo, another month with my man on the top! Viva La Verona!
Eric Hardy: I can’t begrude Verona his victory and the manner he achieved it considering that he cheated in the face of blatant cheating. We knew what we’d be getting in a match between these two men.
Dave Holland: Regardless, in amongst all the bending of the rules, we witnessed a great match and Will acquitted himself well, it just so happens Verona had a little bit more once again, as he has done on so many occasions now.
{ “King of the World” blares out of the PA system as Roberto rolls out of the ring and makes a beeline for his world title which he clutches to his chest like a newborn baby as he punches the air. Will looks up at the roof as he begins to absorb what has just happened before he rolls onto his stomach where he begins to stare with venom at Roberto Verona who is walking backwards up the ramp, smiling down at Will knowing he got the best of him in the shadow games, waving the belts leather strap at him mockingly to say goodbye. }
Eric Hardy: Will doesn’t look like he is about to take this loss gracefully….
Dave Holland: He is furious, I’ve got a feeling that this is far from over as far as Washington is concerned!
Willy Carter: He lost, show some humility.
Dave Holland: Will played the dirty game and he got his hand bitten on this occasion, how will he react? Where do we go from here? I don’t know folks but I am interested to see what happens on Collision!
