(The camera opens to a packed house.  The lights are dimmed, until a loud explosion and fireworks light up the stage, kicking off Meltdown!  The camera pans over the fans and their signs, as James Bryan jumps in.)

Bryan-  We are just eleven days away from Dangerous Games, and tonight the Pay-Per-View picture will finally take shape!  Sunday, June 17, Dangerous Games comes to you LIVE from Kansas City, Missouri!  And there, in an awesome battle royal, the entire GCW roster will compete for the number one contendership to the world title!

Yale-  It’s going to be huge, JB!  And tonight, after the Jhub gets through Toxic, he’ll go on to face either Rich Rollins, or a man that many have really underestimated, Shane Lane!

Bryan-  Lane does have quite the opportunity tonight, and that will be tonight’s main event!  In addition, President Caldera takes on Octavian in a steel cage, and Caldera has promised us a big surprise in that match!

Yale-  And Caldera’s surprises are always great, JB!  Then, of course, we have a Hard*core title fourway, and lots more!  Let’s get underway!

(Take a Look Around hits, and Mr. Danger emerges to a large positive reaction.  He salutes the fans and walks to the ring, microphone in hand.)

Andrews-  Please welcome the Commissioner of GCW, Mr. Danger!

(Danger steps through the ropes, again waving to the crowd.  He then raises his microphone and begins.)

Danger-  Now, I want to clear something up.  For two weeks now, Rich Rollins and myself have had some slight. . .miscalculations. 

(The crowd hesitantly boos at the recollection of Danger’s missed chair shots.)

Danger-  But I want to assure you that the Renegade and I are on good terms, and understand that despite the setbacks, we are still a great team.  Now-

(Danger is cut off, as Born to be Wild hits.  The crowd literally explodes with cheers, as Rollins walks to the ring, microphone in one hand, his other clutching his title belt.  He steps through the ropes and celebrates to the fans, before turning to Danger.)

Rollins-  Now Mr. Danger, you are exactly right.  I do understand that what happened was an accident, and I do understand that you meant no harm.  It hasn’t been the first chair shots I’ve taken.  And they won’t be the last.  But there’s one little thing I need to clarify.  Tonight, I defend my world title against. . . Shane Lane.

(The crowd boos at Lane’s name.)

Rollins-  Now this means that the stakes are a bit higher.  And what I want to know is if I can feel secure in your backup tonight.  Because I certainly do not want to wake up tomorrow morning, and see a piece of crap like Shane Lane with my belt over his shoulder.

(The crowd agrees.)

Danger-  Listen, Rich, if you want me to stay away from ringside, I can stay away from ringside.  If you don’t trust me, then I can accept that.  But what I want you to know is that I am in control of this situation, and I still have your back.  After all, I showed Shane Lane who’s boss last Sunday!  You can trust me to do the right thing.

(Rollins raises his mike to answer, but the Establishment’s theme cuts him off.  The crowd boos ferociously as President Caldera walks to the stage.  He raises a microphone to his mouth.  The crowd stops him from speaking with a loud ‘Asshole!’ chant, but Caldera stops it with a mean glare.)

Caldera-  I do hate to interrupt this. . .touching. . . moment, but I feel it is my duty as President of this company to bring something to your attention, Rollins.  You see, it has become clear to me that Mr. Danger just isn’t that good with a chair.  After all, for two weeks, he’s knocked you out cold.

(The crowd boos, but Rollins is unfazed.)

Caldera-  But what you must come to realize, is that people simply can’t be trusted!  After all, everyone thought they could trust Khan and the Jhub, and. . . well, look what happened!

(More boos.)

Caldera-  So Rich, what you need to ask yourself is this. . . Can I trust Mr. Danger?  After all. . . Look at the facts.  Khan, original member of the ACWF.  The Jhub, original member of the ACWF.  President Caldera. . . original member of the ACWF.  And who was the leader of the ACWF?

(The crowd boos at this suggestion.  Rollins turns to Danger, considering  this new idea.)

Caldera-  That’s right. . . Mr. Danger.  All us ACWF boys back together again!  Think about it, Rich.  Who can you trust.  If you can’t trust Jhub, if you can’t trust Khan. . . who can you trust?  Think long and hard about that one.

(The Establishment’s theme hits again, and the crowd boos as President Caldera smiles and turns for the back.  Danger simply shakes his head at Rollins, but Rollins now seems a bit weary of the Commissioner.  Danger attempts to speak with Rollins, who simply steps out of the ring and walks away.)

Bryan-  How about that? 

Yale-  I never looked at it that way before, JB, but President Caldera is exactly right!  I’ll bet Danger really is the shrewd businessman he appears to be!  I’ll bet he is hanging with the President!

Bryan-  Oh, come on, David, it’s pretty obvious to me that Caldera is just trying to stir up some unrest in the enemy ranks!  I’m willing to give Danger the benefit of the doubt here. 

(The crowd still cheers Danger as he heads for the back, trailing Rollins.)

Bryan-  Well, fans, as we said, we are just eleven days away from Dangerous Games!

Yale-  And hey, more evidence, JB!  The Pay-Per-View itself is named after Mr. Danger!  And Danger will be the special referee!

Bryan-  Oh, give it up!  Anyway, a week from this Sunday, Dangerous Games comes to you live on Pay-Per-View from Kansas City!  This event sold out in less than twenty minutes, folks, so the only way you can see it now is to order it on Pay-Per-View!

Yale-  I still think that Battle Royal is going to be something else, JB.  Anyone, I mean anyone, could walk out with a world title shot!

Bryan-  It certainly is a tremendous opportunity!  We’ll be right back after this.

(The camera returns after the break to the parking garage.  A red corvette convertible screeches around the corner, and stops abruptly near the camera.  The door swings open, and Shane Lane emerges, followed by Hiroshima Genryu.  Kevin Jacobs appears, and heads for Lane.)

Jacobs-  Shane Lane. . . Mr. Lane?  Umm, tonight you face Rich Rollins for the World title, your biggest opportunity since your arrival in GCW. . .

(Lane pulls his gear out of the car, and tosses Jacobs the keys.)

Lane-  Ahh, Jacobs. . . Park that for me, will you?  I have to get ready.

Jacobs-  But, I. . .

(Jacobs looks at Lane questioningly, but Genryu gives him a cold stare.  Jacobs closes his mouth, as Lane smiles and walks into the arena.  The camera then switches back to ringside.)

Bryan-  Well, fans, GCW is really becoming better and better by the week.  Thanks to all our fans, who have made GCW one of the highest rated shows on cable television!

Yale-  I’ll tell you what, JB, Meltdown and Oblivion are becoming more and more watched, and I have a theory as to why that is.  You know, I was looking at the ratings charts, and we had a two point jump, which coincides with the arrival of the man we just saw. . . Shane Lane!

Bryan-  So you’re saying Shane Lane is the reason for the success of GCW?  You are so full of. . .

Yale-  Watch it, JB!  It’s the damn truth!  Shane Lane is without a doubt the greatest athlete we’ve ever seen in GCW, and I can’t wait to see him shock the world tonight and beat Rich Rollins!

Bryan-  Well, the newcomer Shane Lane has accomplished quite a bit so far in his short career, but he’s going up against the best GCW has to offer, the world champion Rollins.  He’s got a huge mountain to climb here tonight!

(I Disappear hits, and the crowd goes wild.  Mike Hardy runs to the ring, slides in, and cheers on the crowd.)

Andrews-  The following contest is a Tables match!  The winner will be the first man to put his opponent through a table with an offensive maneuver!  Introducing first, from Cameron, North Carolina, he weighs in at 222 pounds. . . Michael ‘Hickenbottom’ Hardy!

Bryan-  Well, fans, Mike Hardy defeated Chameleon last Sunday on Oblivion to go up two to one in their best of seven series!

Yale-  Chameleon was robbed, JB!  But tonight he’ll put Hardy through a table, and even up the score!

Bryan-  But this is all not to mention Hardy’s. . . abrupt. . . advances towards Katanya on Sunday!  Katanya was a bit upset after realizing what had happened!

(Chamoflauge hits, and Chameleon slowly walks to the ring, staring down at Hardy.  He drags a table with him, and sets it up just outside the ring.  He then steps inside, and stares at Hardy once again.)

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he weighs in at 200 pounds. . . the Chameleon!

Bryan-  We’ve seen a bit of a change in Chameleon as of late, fans.  This intense rivalry with Hardy has seemingly gotten to Chameleon’s brain, and I think he’s snapped, Dave.

Yale-  And Hardy had better watch his step! Chameleon is dangerous, JB, and Hardy is risking his health and his career every time he steps into the ring!

(The bell sounds, and the match begins.)

Bryan-  There’s the bell, and we’re underway!  Chameleon walks back to a corner, and. . . what’s this?!  Chameleon is pounding his own head against the turnbuckle!

(Hardy stares in awe as Chameleon beats on himself, then moves in.)

Yale-  I’m telling you, this guy is nuts!  He runs right at Hardy, but Hardy gets out of the way!  Chameleon turns to continue the pursuit, but Hardy cuts him off with a drop toe hold!  Chameleon springs right back up, and goes right after Hardy again!

Bryan-  Chameleon is going head on at Hardy, and Hardy bails out of the ring!  I think he’s just as shocked as we are about this bizarre new side of Chameleon!  But Chameleon hops right out to the floor, and goes after Hardy!

Yale-  Hardy meets him with a series of right hands, and takes Chameleon by the arm!  He whips him HARD into the steel steps, and Chameleon hits head first!  That’ll slow him down!

Bryan-  Chameleon is dazed, but he’s getting back up again!  Hardy, lacking better options, climbs back into the ring!  Chameleon shakes the cobwebs out, and slides back in as well!

Yale-  Hardy lifts him right up, and whips him into the ropes!  Reversal by Chameleon!  Hardy bounces back, and leaps with a high cross body!  But Chameleon ducks, and Hardy flies through the second rope and back out to the floor!

Bryan-  Great sense of awareness by Chameleon!  Hardy is slowly getting back up on the floor, as Chameleon gets a head of steam!  He leaps over the top, and catches the rising Hardy with a springboard corkscrew moonsault!

(The crowd oohs at the move.)

Yale-  Wow!  That was impressive, JB!  Chameleon looks to be a bit hurt from the move as well, and he may not have caught as much of Hardy as he was going for!  Hardy is actually the first one up, and he gingerly slides into the ring!

Bryan-  Chameleon is dazed as he slowly gets to his feet!  Hardy is recovering in the ring, as Chameleon slowly staggers around the ring!  He’s right by that table now!

Yale-  Hardy sees an opportunity, and heads for the apron!  Hardy steps outside to the apron, as Chameleon stands right in front of that table!  Hardy prepares to jump, but Chameleon sees him, and backs up a few steps!

Bryan-  Hardy hops down to the floor, but Chameleon grabs the table and shoves it forward, driving it right into the gut of Hardy!  Hardy slumps over, as Chameleon moves the table back out a few feet!

Yale-  Now Chameleon is backing up, as Hardy tries to recover!  Chameleon charges, SPRINGBOARDS off the table, and splashes Hardy!  What an innovative move!

(The crowd again oohs the move.)

Bryan-  Wow!  Chameleon’s lucky that table stayed in one piece!  Chameleon stands up and rolls Hardy into the ring, following him in closely!  Hardy is hurting, as Chameleon slowly begins to scale the turnbuckle!

Yale-  Hardy is lying motionless in the ring, as Chameleon gets to the top!  He measures Hardy, and takes off!  But Hardy rolls out of the way!  Chameleon misses with a guillotine leg drop!  And Hardy has an opening!

Bryan-  Chameleon’s leg may have been torn apart, as Hardy pulls himself up using the ropes!  Chameleon is still down, and now Hardy is pulling himself up the turnbuckle!  Hardy is going up!

Yale-  Hardy perches on the top rope, and takes off!  MOONSAULT!  What a move!  Hardy connects with the prone  Chameleon with that incredible moonsault!  But this is a tables match, and Chameleon is still in it!

Bryan-   Hardy slowly rolls out to the floor, and reaches in for Chameleon!  Hardy pulls Chameleon out to the floor, and shoves him onto the table!  Business is picking up, folks!

Yale-  Hardy has Chameleon lying prone on the table, as he heads back to the apron1  Hardy leaps up to the apron, and begins climbing the turnbuckle!  This is not going to be pretty!

Bryan-  Hardy is perched on the second turnbuckle, and Chameleon still isn’t moving!  This one’s about to be over, folks!

(Suddenly, Katanya is spotted running down the ramp.  She stops at the steel steps, yelling something at Hardy.)

Yale-  Hey, wait a minute, what on earth is Katanya doing here?!  She’s got no business being here!  Unless she’s here to slap some sense into Hardy, of course. . .

Bryan-  Wait, Hardy is climbing down the turnbuckle!  Hardy has come down to meet Katanya, and it looks like he’s trying to lead Katanya away from ringside!  Chameleon has begun to stir, but Hardy is too busy with Katanya!

Yale-  Hardy is trying to get Katanya to leave, but she’s just yelling at him!  Hardy looks to be too concerned about her to allow her to be at ringside!  Wait, Chameleon is back up, and looks to be headed for Hardy!

Bryan-  Hardy has led Katanya up the ramp a few feet, but Katanya wants to stay!  She’s still yelling at Hardy! 

(The crowd oohs as Kat rears back and slaps Hardy across the face.)

Yale-  Woah!

Bryan-  Katanya just slapped Hardy!  Hardy spins around, and walks right into Chameleon!  Chameleon lifts Hardy up, and hits s pinning spinebuster RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE!  That’s it!

(The crowd gasps and boos as the bell rings.  Katanya looks on in shock as Chameleon’s arm is raised, and he looks at Katanya.)

Andrews-  Here is your winner, the Chameleon!

Yale-  Hardy is lying unconscious in the wreckage, as Chameleon now has his sights set on Katanya!  Wait a minute, Chameleon has picked up Katanya, and is heading for the back with her over his shoulder!  What’s he thinking, JB!?

Bryan-  Chameleon is taking Katanya away!  She’s fighting him with all she’s got, but Chameleon doesn’t feel a thing!  There’s something wrong with this guy, Dave!  Hardy is being helped up by the referee, and he’s just looking for Katanya!

(The referee whispers something to Hardy.   Hearing it, Hardy pushes away from the ref, and gingerly storms away to the back.)

Yale-  I think Hardy was just informed of what happened!

Bryan-  This situation is really getting out of hand between Hardy and Chameleon!  Now there’s an innocent girl involved!

Yale-  Oh, please, JB.  Katanya wanted to get involved, and she’s paying for it!  Besides, she can take care of herself!  Let Hardy go after them, and he’ll get another beating from Chameleon!

(The show fades to commercial as Hardy disappears into the back.)

(We return from commercial to the backstage area.  Kevin Jacobs and Larry Jennings are standing in front of a large GCW banner.)

Jacobs-  Larry Jennings, your brother Jake has been on a bit of a roll so far here in GCW.  But the question is, how close is he to paying of his debts?

Larry-  Well, Kevin, you know something, Jake has been doing some impressive things.  He may lack some confidence, but the way I see it, he’s got underlying potential that could rip GCW apart!  I mean, Jake Jennings has got to be one of the hottest up-and coming stars in GCW.  And quite frankly, I think guys like the Establishment are hiding from him!

Jacobs-  Woah, woah, woah. . . You’re saying that the Establishment is afraid of Jake Jennings?

Larry-  Exactly.  Jake is the toughest bastard in GCW, and those Establishment punks are just afraid of him.  Jake has some great things in his future, Kevin, so the Establishment and President Caldera had better watch out.

(Suddenly, in the background, the camera spots a figure running down the hall.  The camera leaves Jacobs and Jennings, and runs down the hall to see Chameleon running away with Katanya over his shoulder.  Katanya is screaming for Chameleon to let her go, as the camera follows them out a door and into the parking garage.  Chameleon opens the back door of a nearby car, tosses Katanya violently inside, and slams the door.  Chameleon then hops into the driver’s seat, and peels out of the arena.)

Bryan-  What the hell?!  Chameleon just made a getaway with Katanya!

(Mike Hardy then comes into view.  He seems woozy from his trip through the table, and he is panting from his chase.  He watches in vain as Chameleon drives away with Katanya.  The camera then returns to ringside.)

Yale-  What on earth is Chameleon thinking?  He’s abducted Katanya! 

Bryan-  And what about those poignant words that Larry Jennings had towards the Establishment?  He may not want to get involved in that. . .

(Out With the Old hits, and the fans jump in cheers.  Toad walks to the ring with his Hard*core title belt, strutting the whole way.  He steps into the ring and grabs a microphone from Joey Andrews.)

Toad-  Well, it seems that a few days ago, your buddy Toad got pinned by everyone’s favorite jackass, Shane Lane.

(The crowd gives a mixed reaction)

Toad-  And now that same jackass has a world title shot against Rich Rollins tonight.

(The crowd cheers for Rollins.)

Toad-  Well, quite frankly, I don’t give a flying caboodle about the World title, because Rollins has that one covered.  But right here, right now, I am going to give four little runts a lesson in the only true definition of a man. . . Hard*core!!!

(Suddenly,   hits, and the crowd begins to boo.  Chris Jordan steps out to the stage, and stares down at Toad.)

Jordan-  I’m sorry, I was standing in the back there, listen to Toad ramble, when I do believe you said that Hard*core is the true definition of a man!

(Toad nods, as the crowd cheers.)

Jordan-  Well, I’m sorry, Toad, but bludgeoning people with random blunt instruments is not what I consider manly.  In fact, I think Hard*core is the true definition. . . of a COWARD!

(The crowd boos, as Toad looks on in anger.)

Jordan-  This is wrestling, Toad.  We are wrestlers.  We do not win matches by hitting people with chairs and such.  We win matches with technical ability. . . Or at least that’s the way it should be.  And only I, the Canadian Hero, have the technical ability to be the best in GCW!

Toad-  So I’m the Hard*core champion, and I’m a coward?!  Well, you Canadian jackass, if I’m a coward, and I don’t have any technical ability, why the hell don’t you join our little melee here tonight?

(The crowd cheers.)

Jordan-  I refuse to lower myself to that level.  But you know what Toad, I would like to take that Hard*core title off your hands.  So I’ll tell you what.  Why don’t you bring that belt to Dangerous Games, and put it on the line against the Canadian Cruiserweight Champion?

(The crowd cheers, as Toad nods.)

Toad-  You want me at Dangerous Games?  You got it!  And you know what, I’m going to take your little cruiserweight ass and show it what Hard*core is all about!

(The crowd cheers, as Jordan smiles.  He walks off stage as One Step Closer hits.  The crowd gives Khris Krowe a mixed reaction as he heads to the ring.)

Andrews-  The following contest, set for one fall, is for the GCW Hard*core championship!  Introducing, from Toledo, Ohio, he weighs in at 265 pounds. . . ‘The Legacy’ Khris Krowe!

(Krowe steps into the ring, and removes his ‘Legacy’ jacket.   He hands it to an aid, and paces the ring.  Pleasant Dreams hits, and the crowd reacts mildly as Mr. Dream heads to the ring.)

Andrews-  From San Francisco, California, weighing in at 285 pounds. . . Dream!

Yale-  Oh, I guess it’s just Dream now, huh?! 

(Dream enters the ring, and stares at Krowe.  Rage’s music plays last, and the crowd doesn’t react at all.  Rage walks to the ring, and steps through the ropes.)

Andrews-  From parts unknown, weighing in at 268 pounds. . . Rage!

(The bell rings, and the crowd cheers.)

Bryan-  Here we go with our Hard*core fourway!  Toad runs right at Rage, and begins hammering away!  And Dream and Krowe have paired off!  Toad has backed Rage into the corner, and is pounding away! 

Yale-  Dream and Krowe are locked up tight in the opposite corner!  Toad sends Rage across the ring, and Rage runs right into Dream and Krowe in the corner!  Now Toad has a head of steam, runs in, and splashes all three men!

(The crowd oohs.)

Bryan-  Wow!  Giant sandwich there from Toad!  Krowe and Dream collapse out to the floor, leaving Toad alone with Rage!  Krowe is up on the outside, and has a steel chair!  Dream is recovering, but Krowe takes him down with a stiff chair shot!

Yale-  Krowe lifts the chair up for another shot!  But Toad reaches out and snatches the chair away from Krowe!  Krowe turns in surprise, as Rage gets to his feet in the ring!  Rage heads for Toad, but Toad takes him down with a GIANT chair shot to the face!

Bryan-  Wow!  Rage goes right down, and he’s in real trouble here!  Krowe is back on Dream on the outside, stomping away!  But Dream is pulling himself up at our announce table here!

Yale-  Toad rears back, and hits Rage in the back with the chair again!  Rage is getting the stuffing beat out of him by the Hard*core champion!  Meanwhile, Dream has pulled himself up, and is reaching for a monitor! 

Bryan-  Krowe doesn’t see it, as he continues to punch away!  But Dream rips the monitor up, and swings for Krowe’s head!  What a shot!  Krowe takes a monitor shot to the skull, and drops right away!

Yale-  Wow!  But in the ring, Rage is recovering, but Toad still has the steel chair!  Rage gets to his feet, turns, and Toad crushes him with another chair shot!  That’s three chair shots to Rage!

Bryan-  Toad is on fire!  Toad places the chair on Rage’s face, and signals for the top!

(The crowd cheers as Toad heads for the top rope.)

Bryan-  Toad is going up, as Rage lies prone under that chair!  Toad is up, and he takes off!  TOAD JAM!  Right on Rage’s skull! 

(The crowd gasps as Rage’s face may be crushed.)

Yale-  Three hundred pounds of Toad coming down on that chair over Rage’s skull!  Wow!  Toad is clutching his ribs, as he makes the cover!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE!!!  Wow, there it is!

(The crowd explodes in cheers, as the bell rings.  Out With the Old plays again, as Toad is handed his belt and he heads to the back.  Dream stares down at Krowe, who has begun to recover.)

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and STILL GCW Hard*core champion, Toad!

Bryan-  Wow!  Just like that, Toad destroyed Rage and won the match!  Dream and Krowe didn’t have a chance!  And Dream is livid about it!

(Suddenly, three men hop the guardrail and run to ringside.  They begin stomping away at Khris Krowe as he tries to get up.  Dream joins in.)

Yale-  Woah!  Where’d they come from?!  Three men have just jumped to ringside, and there’s a four on one beating ensuing on Khris Krowe!  What’s this, JB!?

Bryan-  I have no idea!  Dream and these three men are destroying Khris Krowe!  I have no idea what’s going on! 

(The crowd boos as Dream and his three partners break off, and head to the back.)

Bryan-  Fans, we have no idea who these three men are, but for now, we have word that there is something going on backstage!

(The camera switches to just outside Jake Jennings’ locker room.  Grunts and pounding noises emanate from inside.  Suddenly, the door swings open, and the Jhub and Khan emerge.  The smile, walking away…)

Jhub-  Doesn’t look like such a threat to me.

(The camera zooms inside Jennings’ room, to find him lying unconscious, bleeding from the head.  The show fades to commercial as Jennings lies bleeding.)

(We return to the show, and the camera is on ringside.  Joey Andrews is in the ring.)

Andrews-  The following contest, set for one fall, will decide the Number One Contender to the GCW World Heavyweight Championship!

(The crowd boos as My Own Summer hits, and the Jhub makes his way to the ring.  He has a microphone in hand as he steps into the ring.)

Andrews-  Introducing first, from Stamford, Connecticut, he weighs in at 278 pounds. . . The Jhub!

(The crowd slowly calms as the Jhub begins to speak.)

Jhub-  Now, I know this may come to a shock to all of you, and I know most of you came here tonight to see the Jhub beat the piss out of Toxic again. . .

(Boos)

Jhub-  But unfortunately, that will not be happening.  Because you see, a few days ago, it was brought to President Caldera’s attention that there was a bit of a mix-up with a few contracts.  It appears that Toxic didn’t like the slight pay-cut he was getting, and as a result, he changed a few contracts, and forged a few signatures.

(Cheers.)

Jhub-  Well, I don’t know what planet you people come from, and maybe it’s different for trailer-park trash like you, but in the corporate world, we call that fraud, and it’s illegal! 

(Strong boos.)

Jhub-  So as a result, Toxic will not be joining us tonight.  And since Toxic is not around, that means only one thing. . . He loses this match, which makes me number one contender to the world title!!!

(Intense boos follow this.  The Jhub smiles at the fans and begins to leave the ring, until Take A Look Around hits.  The Jhub sighs and steps back into the ring as Mr. Danger appears.  He receives a few cheers, but a lot of resounding boos.)

Mr. Danger-  Well, well, well.  Another corporate manipulation by the Establishment.  I guess you do have a point, Jhub, and I guess there’s nothing I can do about this.  So you are the number one contender to the world title, and you will get your shot at Dangerous Games.

(The crowd boos, as the Jhub smiles.)

Mr. Danger-  But there are a few things I’d like to point out to you.  Don’t forget that I am the special guest referee in that match, and I will have my eye on you the whole damn time!

(This earns a mixed reaction.)

Mr. Danger-  As for Toxic, it appears as if he’s gotten the shaft once again.  So I think he deserves another shot at this opportunity. . . Which is why Toxic will be entered into the Battle Royal at Dangerous Games!

(Cheers.)

Mr. Danger-  So Jhub, you will get your shot at Dangerous Games.  But enjoy your corporate advantages now, because at Dangerous Games, it is my Pay-Per-View, and we play by MY rules.

(Take a Look Around hits again, and Mr. Danger leaves to a slightly more positive reaction.  The Jhub seems worried but still accomplished his goals, and he heads for the back.

(The show returns from commercial to find the ring crew busily setting up the steel cage.  The crowd I standing in anticipation.)

Andrews-  The following contest is a steel cage match!  A winner will be decided by pinfall only.

(Might of Rome hits, and the crowd cheers loudly.  Octavian emerges from the back, and walks confidently to the ring.)

Andrews-  Introducing first, from Rome, Italy, he weighs in at 285 pounds. . . Octavian!

(Octavian gets to the ring, and feels the steel bars.  He then steps to the door, examines it, and climbs inside.  The cheers turn sour immediately as the Establishment theme hits.  President Caldera emerges and walks to the ring.)

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Columbus, Ohio, he weighs in at 256 pounds, and is the President of GCW. . . Steven Caldera!

Bryan-  Well, fans, don’t forget, President Caldera has promised us some sort of big surprise in this match!  We have no idea what it is, but if you’re Octavian, you’ve got to be watching your back in this one!

Yale-  No doubt about it!  I mean President Caldera I’m sure will be able to handle Octavian himself, but I can’t wait to see what he has in store for him afterwards!

(Caldera gets to the door, but Octavian moves in before Caldera can climb in.  The ref orders Octavian back, and Caldera steps inside.  The bell rings, and the crowd cheers.)

Bryan-  Here we go!  President Caldera and Octavian, one on one!  Octavian runs right in at Caldera, and begins hammering away!  Octavian is really going to work on the President, with rights and lefts flying everywhere!

Yale-  Octavian takes Caldera by the hair, gets a head of steam, and runs him straight into the steel cage!  Caldera’s head bounces off the steel, and he falls to the floor!  Octavian stays on him, and takes him by the legs!

Bryan-  Octavian flips him over. . . He’s going for the Roman Rapper already!  But Caldera twists out, and crawls to the corner!  Octavian follows him in, and begins stomping away at Caldera’s midsection!

Yale-  Octavian is on fire here!  Do something, Mr. President!  Octavian breaks off, and looks out at the fans!

(The crowd cheers Octavian’s intensity.)

Bryan-  Caldera slowly gets back to his feet, and Octavian locks him up for a suplex!  But he simply deposits Caldera right over the top rope! 

Yale-  That’s a low blow, JB!  Caldera’s just straddling the top rope!

Bryan-  Meanwhile, Octavian is to the other side, and gets a head of steam!  He charges in, and hits Caldera with a running dropkick to the face!  Caldera teeters over the top rope and falls onto the apron!  Great move!

Yale-  Octavian is really letting his temper get the best of him!  Caldera slowly crawls back under the ropes and into the ring, as Octavian challenges him to get up!  Caldera grabs Octavian’s belt, and tries to pull himself back upright!

Bryan-  Oh, wait, LOW BLOW from Caldera to an unsuspecting Octavian!  Caldera hits a low blow, and Octavian is hurting!  Caldera gets back up, hooks Octavian up, and tosses him over with a nice belly to belly suplex!

Yale-  See, Octavian forgets that Caldera is a former two time world champion, JB!  He can go with the best of them, and Octavian is certainly not the best!

Bryan-  Caldera heads back to Octavian, who is regaining his footing.  Octavian gets back up, and Caldera sets him up again!  There’s a double underhook suplex!  Caldera covers!  ONE!  TWO!!  THR-  Kickout!

Yale-  Caldera glares at the referee, and lifts Octavian back up!  Caldera sends Octavian into the ropes, and catches him with a big back body drop!  Incredible height on that move, JB!

Bryan-  Caldera seemingly has turned the tide here!  Now Caldera is climbing the cage!  Caldera has moved to the ropes, and is climbing the cage!  Doesn’t he realize you can’t win this match by escaping?

Yale-  Of course he does!  He’s just going all the way up!  Wait, but Octavian is back up himself, and is heading for Caldera!  Caldera is about halfway up the side of that cage, as Octavian positions himself beneath the President!

Bryan-  Octavian has stepped onto the second rope, and is facing the ring!  He’s got Caldera trapped from underneath!  Hey, wait a minute, OH MY GOD!  Octavian brings Caldera down from halfway up the cage into a powerbomb!

(The crowd ooohs as Caldera lands, and looks to be out cold.)

Yale-  Oh my God, JB!  What an incredible powerbomb that was!  Caldera is out cold, and Octavian is slowly getting back to his feet!  The crowd is cheering him on, as he seemingly has this thing won!

Bryan-  Octavian slumps into the corner, apparently hurt from those suplexes earlier!  But he’s heading to the President!

Yale-  He’s not going for a pinfall!  Octavian lifts up Caldera’s legs, and turns him over!  Oh no!

Bryan-  There’s the Roman Rapper!  Octavian has the Roman Rapper locked on the President!  And Caldera is tapping out!  The owner of the company is tapping out!

Yale-  But you can’t win by submissions, JB!  Caldera is still in this one!

Bryan-  But Octavian will not release this hold!  The Roman Rapper is ripping away at President Caldera, and there’s nothing he can do about it!

(Suddenly, without warning, a group of men can be seen running down the stairs in the crowd, and hop the barricade.  One by one, they run into the cage.  The first man clotheslines Octavian out of the hold, and all of them begin to stomp away.  A few of the crowd cheer in astonishment as they realize who the men are.)

Bryan-  What the hell is this?!

Yale-  Wait a second!  Wait a damn second!  I know those guys, JB!  Those guys are from the CWU!

Bryan-  Trash, Shadowedge, Impact!  And hey, that’s Dimensioner!  And the Ringmaster, Matt Bish!  These men have come out of the stands to assault Octavian!  And President Caldera is still lying face down in the ring!  What is going on?

Yale-  This has got to be Caldera’s big surprise!  The CWU is here on GCW television, and they are assaulting Octavian!  The Italian Stallion doesn’t stand a chance here, JB!

Bryan-  Wait a minute, the men have lifted Octavian up, and placed him backwards on the top turnbuckle!  And now Trash is under him, and hooks his neck!  He drops him. . . Trash Compactor!  That’s the Trash Compactor, and Octavian has been destroyed!

Yale-  All right, JB!  And now Shadowedge is pulling Caldera on top of Octavian!  This is great!  Here’s the count!

(The crowd boos, as the referee makes the elementary three count.  The bell rings, and the Establishment’s theme plays again.  The CWU wrestlers then continue to stomp away at Octavian.)

Andrews-  Here is your winner, Steven Caldera!

Bryan-  President Caldera has hired these CWU thugs to take care of his problems!  Is there no end to what this man will do?!

Yale-  This was sheer genius, JB!  Only a man like Caldera could bring the CWU to GCW!  Now the men are assaulting Octavian again!

(The crowd begins to cheer as John Reed runs to the ring.  He slides into the cage, but the CWU men immediately go after him.)

Bryan-  John Reed!  John Reed is here, but the CWU is assaulting him!  It looks like Shadowedge is singling out Reed, while the rest continue to pound on Octavian!

Yale-  Is this not the greatest thing you’ve ever seen, JB?!  The match was over quickly, thanks to the CWU!  I never thought we’d see this day!  Wait, now Dimensioner is perched on the second turnbuckle, while Matt Bish lifts Octavian up!

Bryan-  Bish sets Octavian up on Dimensioner’s shoulders!  Now Trash is back up there again!  What are they doing?!  Dimensioner jumps, and Trash hooks Octy’s head!  MY GOD!  Combination powerbomb and neckbreaker from the second rope!

(The crowd gasps as Octavian is destroyed.)

Yale-  That was amazing!  Octavian has been destroyed!  And the CWU has done its job, it appears!

(The crowd boos as the Establishment’s theme hits.  The CWU slowly files out of the ring, walking to the back.  They leave Caldera to himself, with Reed and Octavian unconscious in the ring.)

Bryan-  Well, fans, I have no idea what is going on here, but it is apparent that there is a new gang of thugs in GCW!  President Caldera is still slowly trying to recover, as the cage is raised from the ring!

(The cage rises from the ring, and EMTs rush into the ring.  Some aids help Caldera out of the ring, as the EMTs load Octavian onto a stretcher.)

Yale-  I am still shocked, JB!  Caldera has defeated Octavian, and the CWU has made quite an impression!

Bryan-  Well, fans, we’ll bring you updates on Octavian’s condition, as well as John Reed, as we get the information.  But for now, the show must go on!  We’ll be right back!

(The camera cuts to commercial.  When we return, the camera is focused in the ring on Joey Andrews.)

Andrews-  The following contest, set for one fall, is for the Global Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Championship!

(Freak on a Leash hits, and Shane Lane heads to the ring, followed by Genryu and accompanied by tremendous boos.  Lane stops to admire his physique, before continuing to the ring.)

Andrews-  Introducing first, from Beverly Hills, California, being accompanied to the ring by Hiroshima Genryu, he weighs in at 210 pounds. . . Shane Lane!

(Lane steps through the ropes, again posing for the fans.  They boo him again, as Genryu waits on the floor.  Suddenly, the crowd explodes in cheers as Born to be Wild hits, and Rollins heads to the ring.  He walks with purpose, carrying his belt with him.)

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, he weighs in at 225 pounds, and is the GCW World Heavyweight Champion. . . Rich ‘The Renegade’ Rollins!

(The fans go crazy for Rollins, as Lane bails out of the ring and Rollins cheers with the fans.  Rollins hands his belt to the referee, and Lane steps back into the ring.  Lane moves in behind Rollins, and the bell rings.)

Bryan-  Here we go!  Lane tries to get an early advantage on Rollins, but the Renegade sees him coming!  Rollins turns and takes Lane down with a right hand!  Lane back up, and Rollins sends him down again! 

Yale-  Lane rolls out to the floor to regain his bearings!  Hiroshima Genryu is over to console him, but they don’t see Rollins coming off the ropes!  Rollins drops and hits a baseball slide to both Lane and Genryu!

Bryan-  Lane goes down, and Genryu is staggered!  Rollins slides to the floor, and takes Genryu by the hair!  Rollins sends the bodyguard into the steel barricade, but Lane is back up from behind!  Lane hits and axe handle to the Renegade’s back!

Yale-  Rollins is stunned, as Lane fires away with sharp right hands!  Lane rolls the champion back into the ring, and follows him in!  Rollins gets to his feet, and Lane shoots him into the ropes!  Rollins bounces back and ducks a clothesline!

Bryan-  Rollins off the other side, leaps and takes Lane down with a flying forearm!  Rollins is back in control, as lane gets back to his feet!  Rollins whips him hard into the opposite turnbuckle, and follows him in!

Yale-  Rollins charges in shoulder first, but Lane pulls himself up, and Rollins crashes into the steel post!  Lane rolls down over him, and rolls him up!  ONE!  TWO!  Kickout by the champion!

Bryan-  Shane Lane was one second away from becoming World Champion!  Lane and Rollins are both back up, but Rollins appears to be favoring his left shoulder from that impact with the post!  Lane takes advantage, and takes Rollins over with an arm drag!

Yale-  Lane holds Rollins down in an armbar, and the ball is now back in the court of the challenger!  Genryu has recovered, and is again looking on from outside the ring!  Rollins turns himself over, and gets back to his feet, but Lane still has the armbar on!

Bryan-  Rollins moves Lane back into the turnbuckle, and tosses him out with an arm drag!  Wait, Lane reverses, rolls through it, and takes Rollins over with a lucha-libre type maneuver!  Rollins gets back to his feet, and Lane takes him down with a dropkick!

Yale-  And Lane locks that standing armbar right back on!  Shane Lane is really showing some great determination here, JB!  He wants to be the world champion!  He’s been shafted so far, but tonight he’s on his way to becoming World Champion!

Bryan-  Rollins is arguably being dominated here by Lane!  Rollins again twists his way to his feet, but Lane takes him right back down again with a fireman’s carry!  But Rollins gets his feet up, and kicks Lane right off!

Yale-  Lane flies back, but gets right back up!  Rollins takes Lane down with a deep arm drag, and now Rollins has an armbar on Lane!  But Lane is right next to the ropes, and the referee breaks the hold.

Bryan-  Rollins breaks off, and heads back to a corner!  Genryu walks to Lane, and whispers some strategy to him!  Now, quite frankly, this isn’t fair.  Shane Lane has an unfair advantage with his bodyguard out there!

Yale-  Oh, come on, JB!  Genryu is a licensed wrestler and manager!  He has every right to be out here!  Now Lane and Rollins are both up and circling the ring!  Rollins raises his hands in the air, and I think he wants a test of strength!

Bryan-  Lane timidly moves to Rollins, and reaches for his hand!  Lane grabs one of the Renegade’s hands, and Rollins looks for the other!  But Lane stops it with a boot to the gut, and twists the Renegade’s arm!

Yale-  Arm ringer here by Lane, and Rollins finds himself again in trouble!  Lane sends Rollins into the ropes, and the Renegade bounces back!  Rollins walks right into a spinebuster from Lane!  That could do it!

Bryan-  High impact move, and a cover!  ONE!  TWO!  NEW CHAM-  NO!  Kickout by Rollins!  Rollins barely kicked out of that one!  Lane seems a bit frustrated, and that may be his lack of experience in these high-stakes matches shining through!

Yale-  Oh, come on, Shane Lane knows what he’s doing in that ring, JB!  Lane lifts Rollins to his feet, and sets him up for a suplex!  He brings him over, and executes it perfectly!  Lane floats over, and there’s another cover!

Bryan-  ONE!  TWO!!  THR-  Another kickout!  Rollins refuses to quit!  Lane is really getting frustrated here!  He’s demanding a faster count, but it’s not going to do him any good!  Lane lifts Rollins up again, and hooks him from the face!

Yale-  Lane runs, and WOW!  Plants a running front facebuster!

(The crowd gasps at the move.)

Yale-  That could be it, JB!  But Lane isn’t going for the cover!  Lane is heading for the top rope, instead!  Rollins is down but looks to be recovering, as Lane remains perched on the top turnbuckle!

Bryan-  Rollins is slowly getting to his feet, as Lane remains waiting up top!  Finally, Rollins is to his feet, and he staggers to see Lane!  Lane takes off!  Flying headscissors from the top rope!  Amazing!

Yale-  What a move!  Lane hit that perfectly, and this match has got to be over!  Rollins is down and may be out, as Lane stands to face the crowd!

(The fans boo as Lane smiles and flexes, before dropping for a cover.)

Bryan-  Cover!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE-NO!  Rollins kicks out again, and you’ve got to believe that he would have had him had he not stopped to showboat!

Yale-  I’ll give you that one, JB!  Lane is really getting furious now, as he heads to the top rope!  Rollins is lying motionless in the center of the ring, as Lane takes off!

Bryan-  MOONSAULT!  But Rollins moves out of the way!  Lane got tremendous air time on that moonsault, but Rollins moved out of the way, and Lane got real familiar with the canvas!

Yale-  Oh, no, see?  You make mistakes when you get angry, Shane!  Lane is down and hurting, but Rollins is having trouble recovering himself!  He’s crawled to the turnbuckle, and is pulling himself up!  Lane is slowly recovering!

Bryan-  Lane is to his feet, as Rollins steadies himself!  Lane moves in on the Renegade, but the Renegade moves out with a SUPERKICK!  SUPERKICK!  That’s it!  This one’s over, fans!

(The crowd explodes with cheers as Lane drops, out cold, and Rollins moves towards him.)

Yale-  There’s the superkick, and Lane is out!  Come on, Shane!  Rollins covers!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE! -  WHAT?!  He kicked out!!!

(The crowd gasps and boos as Lane gets a shoulder up.)

Bryan-  I’ll give the devil his due, not many people have kicked out of a Renegade superkick!  Shane Lane is really earning a name for himself in this match!  Rollins is exhausted, but he’s pulling himself back up anyway!

Yale-  That was amazing, JB!  Lane is slowly getting to his feet, as Rollins moves in!  Rollins hooks Lane up, and hits a snap suplex!  Rollins holds the front facelock, lifts Lane up, and hits another!

Bryan-  Great double snap suplex from Rollins, and he’s got Lane right where he wants him!  Lane is lying prone in the center of the ring, and Rollins signals for the end!  He’s heading for the top rope!  This is it!

Yale-  Oh, no!  Lane is out in the ring, and Rollins is up top!  Rollins is going for the Anarchist Elbow!  Here it comes. . . Hey, wait!

Bryan-  What the hell?!  Hiroshima Genryu reaches up and shakes the top rope!  Rollins loses his balance, and falls straddling the top turnbuckle!  Come on, Ref, do something about that, damn it!

Yale-  Genryu is just an insurance policy, JB!  That’s all!  Rollins is hurting on the turnbuckle, as Lane slowly gets to his feet!  Lane heads for the turnbuckle, and climbs in front of Rollins!  Lane leaps, and takes Rollins down with a Hurricanrana!

Bryan- Great move by the challenger, and that could do it!  Lane slowly crawls to Rollins, and covers him!  ONE!  TWO!! THREE-  NO!  Another near kickout by Rollins, and Lane is out of ideas!

Yale-  Wait a minutes, Hiroshima Genryu is out here by our table, and he’s got a steel chair!  This is going to get ugly!  Genryu slides the chair under the ropes, as both men in the ring are still down!

(Suddenly, the crowd explodes in cheers.  Mr. Danger bolts to the ring, and goes right for Genryu.)

Bryan-  Wait a minute!  Wait a minute!  Mr. Danger is here, and he’s assaulting Hiroshima Genryu!  Danger is pounding away at Genryu!  Danger shoves Genryu aside, and slides into the ring!  And Danger has the steel chair!

Yale-  And I guess that idiot referee is letting this one go!  Danger has the chair, as Lane, Rollins, and Genryu all get to their feet!  Genryu is slowly headed for the ring, and Rollins and Lane regain their footing!

Bryan-  Danger is measuring Lane!  Turnabout’s fair play, pretty boy!  Danger swings!

(The crowd gasps as Genryu reaches in and pulls Lane out of the way, and the chair cracks Rollins over the skull.)

Bryan-  OH MY GOD!  Genryu pulled Lane out of the way, and Danger just hit Rollins again!

(The crowd begins to boo, suspecting the worst.  Danger looks terribly upset, and glares at Lane and Genryu.)

Yale-  This match is continuing!  Genryu is back in, and is going after Danger!  Lane slowly crawls to Rollins, and makes a cover!  YES!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE!-  NO!!!  NO!!  Rollins barely, BARELY gets a shoulder up!

Bryan-  How close was that?!  Lane is still a bit woozy, as Danger and Genryu go at it!  Lane is slowly getting to his feet, as is Rollins!  Lane has crawled to the steel chair, as Danger kicks Genryu in the gut!

Yale-  Danger sets Genryu up!  DANGEROUS DROP!  Big powerbomb on Genryu, and the bodyguard is out of the picture!  Rollins is back up, and looking at Danger!  Danger turns to smile at Rollins, but Rollins shoves him right down!

(The crowd cheers as Rollins shoves Danger right on his rear.)

Bryan-  Whoa!  Rollins just shoved Danger down!  But from behind, Shane Lane has the steel chair!  Watch out!  Lane swings!  But Rollins sees it coming, and ducks out of the way!  Lane turns, and Rollins SUPERKICKS the chair into Lane’s face!

Yale-  Oh no!!  This is awful!  Do something, ref!  Lane is down and out, and Rollins makes the cover!  ONE!  TWO!!!!  THREE!!!!!! 

Bryan-  It’s over!

(The crowd cheers in relief as the bell rings, and Born to be Wild plays again.  Genryu, now having recovered, reaches in and pulls Lane out of the ring.  He helps him stand, and glares into the ring.)

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and STILL GCW world heavyweight champion. . . Rich ‘The Renegade’ Rollins!

Bryan- Rollins has retained his title, but just by a hair! What a matchup!

Yale- But Mr. Danger hit Rollins again! And this time it almost cost him the title! I’d really like to know what’s going on, JB!

Bryan- Rollins is in the ring with his belt, but can barely stand! Danger is on the outside, apparently a bit hurt! Wait a minute, Shane Lane is back into the ring! Rollins is staring out at Danger, who isn’t even paying attention!

Yale- Lane is back into the ring, and moves in behind Rollins! Lane hooks Rollins into an abdominal stretch. . . SUPERSTAR SLAM! There’s the Superstar slam on the world champion!

Bryan- And Danger is still on the outside, not doing a whole lot to help! What really is going on here, fans? Can Mr. Danger really be trusted?!

Yale- Caldera was right! Whoo-hoo!

Bryan- Fans, we’re out of time! Join us this Sunday for Oblivion! Goodnight!

(The show ends as Freak on a Leash plays again, and the fans boo as Shane Lane and Genryu walk with their heads held high to the back, and Rollins lies motionless in the ring, while Danger sits oblivious on the floor.)
