Cameras pan over the arenas. Every fan was given a new face covering, they all white with black letters on the front SFT. It looks odd and creepy and its a sight some cannot imagine. From the rapway in the east we see some men come out, the band is ACDC!
RW: uh
JC: No way.
RW: Uh
JC: How in the hell did we get ACDC? It has to be a cover band. It cant be them.
RW: Uh
JC: You sound like Beavis
RW: What does that make you then?
JC: Uh.
They sing Highway to hell.
The fans are almost in shock till the song finishes then they roar like the gladiator colisumes in Rome back in the day.
RW: Well folks that was incredible and we hope tonights show lives up to what we just witnessed.
JC: And without further ado lets get this show on the road!
Eli Martin vs. Robert Saints (standard match)
The lights in the arena fall abruptly. Laser strobe lights encircle the arena as a light fog cloudy the stage entrance. From the curtain emerges Eli Martin clad in a silky hooded robe, he marches to the trumpet of Rev Theory's 'Wanted Man'. Palming the hands of show goers while making his way ringside. He climbs the steps and slithers between the ropes entering the ring, throwing back his hood and parting his robe to the ovation of the crowd, his fist clenched in the air he stands regally before the public with an intense glare in his eyes.
RW: Eli looks focused as ever.
JC: He looks intense is what he is.
Rockhouse by Frank Shelly plays over the arena as Robert Saints, Kelly Robinson and Skullbreaker make their way out to the ring. Robert jumps onto the ring apron holding down the middle rope allowing Kelly Robinson to enter the ring before he slides between the top and middle ropes into the ring himself. Skullbreaker climbs over the top rope and enters the ring where he gives advice to his client Robert before the referee makes both Kelly and Skullbreaker leave the ring.
RW: And Robert is set to go as well.
Both men in the ring as the bell sounds off. Eli starts it off with a big clothesline and Robert for some reason didnt get out of the way. Robert is getting p ujp but Eli with a superkick!
JC: Sweet chin music!
Eli goes for the cover but only gets a 1 count.
Robert then gets up like a man possessed and kicks Eli in the stomach with the n a knife edge drop!
RW: Well good news is that Robert just woke up.
JC: And thats bad news for Eli.
Robert grabs Eli sets him up and hits his Straight to Hell move.
RW: I think that is all she wrote.
Robert covers Eli, the ref counts 1….………….2…………...3!!!!!!!
Winner: Robert Saints via pinfall.
SFT Hardcore Championship
Jack Jones © vs. Jamo
John Cartright: Up next ladies and gentlemen, it is SFT Hardcore Championship match. Jack Jones to defend his HC Title against Jamo here tonight.
Randy White: Oh boy, I can’t wait to see these two go at it.
The screen plays some highlight promo from last Titans where Jack Jones defeats Eli Martin in a complete knockout match to capture the HC Title. The scene then goes back to the ringside where Jones and Jamo are already standing inside the ring. The referee calls for the bell.
*DING DING DING*
Both men go for a quick lockup, Jamo technically locks Jone’s forearm and hits a strong headbutt right on his forehead which makes the champion fall over his butt. Jamo wastes no time, hits a kick right over Jones face and covers him.
1..
2..
Jack Jones kicked out at two.
Randy White: What is Jamo thinking here? Jack has plenty of gas left in his tank.
John Cartright: That’s right. If Jamo wants to win this match he needs to work harder.
Jamo picks up Jones and irish whips him to the corner but Jones jumps on the second turnbuckle and comes back with a reverse flying cross body from the rope knocking Jamo down and goes for a quick cover but Jamo immediately grabs the nearby ropes and takes himself out from the apron to catch some breath.
John Cartrght: Jack Jones is on fire here
Randy White: He indeed is, but lets not forget about Jamo too who defeated the former multiple times Hardcore Champion, Rumpke to get his art acknowledged.
Jack Jones follows Jamo at the outside and tries to grab him in a headlock from behind but Jamo escapes the move, turns around, knocks Jones down with a vicious clothesline. Jamo picks him quickly and throws him to the announcer as the champion crashes right into the commentators who safely manage to escape beforehand.
John Cartright: You alright after all that?
Randy White: Yeah! Not many good things happen outside the ring.
Jamo walks over to the announce table and picks Jones up and hits him with an uppercut.before throwing him back inside the ring. Jamo just before entering the ring and he snatches the ringbell from the timekeeper and gets inside the ring. Jamo runs toward Jack to knock him down with the ringbell but Jones ducks and connects a successful Lariat to him. Jamo is down, Jack wastes no time and covers the challenger.
1..

2 ½ …
TWO AND A HALF!
Randy White: What in the world?
John Cartright: How could anyone do that?
The screen replays the scene where Jamo had to eat his own medicine when he gets knocked down with a Lariat by the champion. The scene goes back live where Jones seems disappointed and drags him right near the corner of the ring. Jack Jones climbs up to the top rope and drops himself down with a five star frog splash.
Randy White: He is flying…!!!
John Cartright: Bad landing guys..!!!
Just before Jack Jones lands with his flying maneuver Jamo rolls out from the targetted area as the champion comes down, hurts his face and chest first on the ring mat as nobody was home. Jamo steals the opportunity, grabs the champion from his neck and tights and throws his body to the ring post through the middle ropes. Jamo drags him back inside the ring and again hits his body to the ring post but this time to the other side of the ring.
John Cartright: If Jones survived these attacks then that must be a miracle.
The champion is partially knocked out and gets weakened as Jamo picks his dizzy body up and connects him with a successful Full Nelson Slam right inside the middle of the ring. Jamo wastes no time, hooking up the champion’s legs as the referee starts counting.

*DING DING DING*
Ring Announcer: “The winner of this match and.. NEWWWW… SFT Hardcore Champion.. JAMOOO!!
Winner: Jamo via pinfall
The referee gently hands over the HC title to Jamo who furiously snatches it from the ref’s hand and pushes him away. He grabs the HC title, looks to the face of it and taps his hand over its face before leaving the ring.
Randy White: Jamo has struck another blow and this time it is against Jack Jones.
John Cartright: Is Jack aware that his reign is actually over? I don’t think so!
WINNER: NEW SFT Hardcore Champion, Jamo.
JC: Not a bad match, lets see what happens with the next one.
Candace vs. Louis Cypher
Candace is already in the ring because she doesn't have a bio.
RW: Here is our Intercontinental Champion!
JC: But maybe not for long!
Cypher’s song hits and he makes his way avoiding any touches or camera shots from any fans.
RW: He does not like the fans.
Cypher and Candace circle the ring for a moment, as the bell rings. The match begins as Candace shoots out for a tie up. Cypher pushes Candace back to the corner. Cypher backs out graciously at the request of the referee, then shoots in immediately with two shoulder thrusts. As he goes for a third, Candace locks on a front face lock and delivers several knee strikes to his chest before releasing the hold and dropping Cypher to the mat. As he pushes to get up, Candace lands a stiff kick to his ribs. Candace backs off and Cypher gets to his feet.
JC: Already off to a great start.
RW: Yup.
He goes for a clothesline. She ducks and dropkicks the back of his head. He uses the ropes to stand up and she grabs him, only to be caught with a stiff back elbow. He turns around and grabs her arm, pulling her in and he hits a stiff clothesline. He picks Candace back to her feet and he connects with a thunderous chop. She stumbles back and Cypher charges. Candace goes for a front kick but Cypher slides out of rhe way. He goes for a waist lock but she elbows him off. Candace kicks at his knee and he drops down. She then hits a shining wizard and goes for the cover.

JC: So close! I didn't know she even did that move!
RW: Nobody knows any of her moves!
Candace grabs Cypher, pulling him into a clinch as she tries to tie him up. Cypher breaks free of the hold, pushing Candace away and connecting with a sidekick to her stomach. With her doubled over, Cypher attempts a piledriver but Candace blocks it. Candace tries lifting Cypher up and over, but Cypher rolls through and turns it into a pinning attempt!

Winner: Candace via pinfall
JC: Well Candace has staked her name to be in the running for the world title.
RW: I am sure she will get her shot soon enough.
JC: lets move on to our fourth event of the evening, where Jay Impact and Apokalypse will finally collide after the embarrising venture that previously happened with these two.
The lights suddenly go red and start flashing as "Progenies of The Great Apokalypse" by Dimmu Borgir starts to play throughout the arena. Apokalypse methodically walks out from backstage and glares out at the fans in attendance before rushing toward the ring
Ring Announcer: Making his way to the ring... weighing in at 249 pounds... from Death Valley, California... HE... IS... APOKALYPSE!
Once he reaches the ring, he slides in quickly and stands up in the center of the ring, again glaring out at the fans.
"Just Close Your Eyes" by Story of the Year hits in the PA system as Jay Impact walks out at the entrance stage in a deluxe yacht hat, walking on the ramp and gets inside the ring by sliding through the bottom rope and climbs on the ring corner to pose for the fans when his music suddenly stops.
Suddenly a base guitar sets the opening of "Right to go insane" by Megadeth before the drums and lead guitar kick in after a moment of pure base guitar. Seconds after the vocals of Dave Mustaine begin, A scarred Rumpke emerges from behind the curtain pushing a abnormally large cart full of all sorts of weapons! Jay and Apok puzzelingly look at the drunk with half cocked smiles as he pushes the large cart down the rampway. The camera focuses on Jay Impact's face and we read his lips saying what is understood to be "Drunkee!" Seconds after this, Rumpke pulls out a microphone and looks out at the fans as he says.
Rumpke: I've sat back and watched for awhile as the hardcore matches have been dwindling and this is a tragedy, is it not?
*The fans ethusiasticly yell "Yes" before they boo.*
Rumpke: What they're booing at, could be the lack of hardcore matches or it could be me. (Fans cheer) Once again, it's not clear but you all like seeing people beat the brakes off of each other with weapons right? (The fans cheer even louder in response to Rumpke's question.) That's what I thought and this is why I'm here! I've got a ton of weapons for both men to beat the tar out of each other with.
*The fans errupt loudly as both Apokalypse and Jay Impact's half cocked smiles become full fledge grins. The next thing we know, Rumpke puts down the microphone before reaching into the large cart. One hand pulls out a half of a pair of brass knuckles, and a sock. Rumpke tosses the sock to Jay Impact and the single brass knuckles to Apokalypse. Both men catch the weapons and Jay is the only one puzzled with the sock. We can hear him yell, "What am I going to do with a sock!?!" Rumpke smirks and nods while he motions with his hand for Jay to hold on, next thing we know; he reaches in and pulls out a bar of soap before tossing it to Jay Impact. Jay, looks at the bar of soap and the sock and is still puzzled. Rumpke sees this and grabs the microphone.
Rumpke: It put's the soap in the sock!
Jay signals for a microphone and moments later, gets one.
Jay Impact: What? Are you drunk?
Rumpke: Of course I am, put the bar of soap in the damn sock! Then it becomes a weapon, like a flexible mace! It's not rocket science!
Jay does as Rumpke suggests and starts swinging it around. The bar of soap in a sock happens to hit Jay on the arm as it flung around and then the man understood how it could be a weapon as he slightly carressed his arm for a brief moment. The next thing we see is the drunk, he begins tossing everything from steel chairs to baseball bats, some wrapped in barbed wire and before we know it. The whole ring has an aresenal of weapons laying throughout the ring as fans cheer loudly.
Rumpke: Hold on referee, every hardcore match..
The drunk one pauses while he searches under the ring for a moment. Then as he pulls another weapon out from underneath the ring, he says.
Rumpke: A table!!
Seconds later, Rumpke tosses the table into the ring before smiling as he nodded. Then the drunk walks up the rampway and leaves ringside while Apokalypse looks like a kid who's entered a candy shop. Jay Impact is still trying to figure out how to swing the soap and sock combination without hurting himself. The referee calls for the bell just after Apokalypse grabbed the other pair of the brass knuckles that Rumpke tossed from the ground. Apok places the other brass knuckles in his grip before sadistically grinning at Jay Impact who is still trying to figure out how to not hit himself with the sock and soap combination. Apokalypse, he moves in for the kill with his guns cocked when he's suddenly nailed with the make shift mace! The camera spots a white sized object that's barely larger than a pea leave Apokalypse's mouth before the man crashes too the ground! Jay Impact looks in awe as for the first time, this weapon didn't cause him any harm at all. He then goes for the pin and the referee almost gets a three count right then and there.
Jay gets up before we hear him telling the referee that he want's that tooth! The ref looks at Jay with and odd expression as the man peels a staggered Apokalypse up off of the ground.
JC: How far did Apokalypse's tooth fly out of the ring?
RW: It was a home run John! I doubt they'll recover that tooth, some lucky fan will have it by now and Jay likely won't touch it!
Jay Impact is suddenly hit with a low blow from Apokalypse who then grabs a lead pipe before he rattles Jay's cage with that vicious weapon. Jay collapses to the ground and Apok goes for the pin. The referee hits a one count and follows this up with a two count but the man finds a way to kick out!
RW: Damn! Jay kicked out after that stout blow!
JC: Seems to me like these two are evenly matched! I've seen Apok go toe to toe with Rumpke in a hardcore match but I've never seen Jay in a no holds barred brawl like that! Can he handle this?!?
RW: Soon, time will tell John! Apokalypse kept up with Rumpke, now it's Jay's turn to run the russian roulette with another capable hardcore champion!
Apokalypse is the first one up and as he presumably reached down to grab and bull Jay up by the head. Mr. Impact himself, flat out kicks Apok square in the mouth and the man falls on his ass without a hope of gathering his whits at that time! The momenteum of that solid blow, it was too much for his body to handle!
JC: There's something about a hardcore match that makes every blow, hit that much harder!
RW: That's because these men and women involved in this style of matches, they've got to fight for every inch! There's no comforting blanket of rules to protect them!
JC: Are you starting to like these matches Randy?
RW: No, I hate how they embody, lawlessness.. Yet, I stand by the fact that there's no rules to protect a hardcore fighter!
Meanwhile, during this discussion between John and Randy; Jay Impact has not only grabbed a baseball bat but he's also shown a vicious side of him by beating Apokalypse over the back, the head and hell, the guy even broke the wooden bat over Apokalypse's back with the third swing!!! Jay Impact once again pins Apokalypse but the man showed not only his fortitude but also his guts by kicking out at exactly the two count!!
RW: That was one hell of a vicious streak from Jay Impact with the bat! Hopefully he doesn't think about...
Yes, Jay thought about and even tried to stab the jagged edge of the broken bat into Apokalypse's lower abdomen but the former champion rolled out of the way at the last second. While Jay took a couple of seconds to recover from this short burst of power that he exerted, Apokalypse grabbed the sock with a soap bar in it before he slung it right into Jay Impact's nose!!
RW: Damn that Rumpke! This was suppose to be a friendly exhibition, standard rules... Until he came out and ruined it..
JC: The fans are cheering loudly for this brutality! Maybe, the drunk one is on to something!
Yet just before that make shift mace found it's target, Jay Impact had nailed Apokalypse with a half of a pair with brass knuckes!! Jay pins Apokalypse and the referee strikes the three count!!!!!
Winner: Jay Impact!!! Via knock out with brass knuckles!!
Emerson vs. Lucas Balkan
The arena lights cut suddenly. The screen momentarily goes dark but flickers into light, TV static, as the brooding, Eastern music fills the arena. The static lasts for 30 seconds while a large black eagle’s silhouette fades into shot. As the lights come back on to the Prophecy by Soulfly, the eagle fades away, replaced by one word.
BALKAN
When the vocals start, Lucas Balkan brushes the curtain aside and walks out onto the ramp with his hood up. He pauses, listening to the crowd before moving further towards the ring. Grainy images of border walls, protests and men in dark hooded tops, of cigarette smoke and eagle claws, dance on the big screen above him.
Lucas walks slowly to the ring, slides under the bottom rope and stares blankly into the crowd. He pulls off his t-shirt and tosses it out of the ring, leans back against the turnbuckle, staring directly above him, his fingers fixed in a triangle.
The lights dim as "Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down begins playing through the arena. Blue strobe lights begin flashing throughout the whole arena . Moments later, the "Ghetto Superman" Emerson explodes out from behind the curtain and the crowd erupts with cheers! He smiles as he quickly moves down to ringside while giving many fans (On both sides of the ramp) high fives. Once Emerson reaches the bottom of the ramp. He jogs around the whole ring and gives fans at ringside high fives as well. Once "Super Em" makes it all of the way around the ring, with a burst of speed, he runs at the ring and slides in before immediately pushing himself up to his feet.
RW: Could tonight be the night Emerson is dethroned?
JC: He's been unstoppable as champion. Lucas Balkan is his toughest challenger to date.
RW: There's the bell!
Emerson and Balkan circle. Eventually they lock up. Balkan is the aggressor early, as he backs Emerson into the corner. He knees the champ in the gut before unleashing a fury of chops. He whips Emerson to the opposite corner and follows in, connecting with a big running elbow. The champ stumbles out to the center and Balkan hits him with a big clothesline.
JC: WHOA!
He picks Emerson up by the hair and tosses him back into the corner. Going back after the champ he begins to hammer away again in the corner, causing Emerson to cover up. When Balkan lets up for just a moment, Emerson hits a surprise uppercut. Balkan backs up and Emerson kicks at the leg. He fires another shot at Emerson, who falls back into the corner. Balkan lays in heavy kicks to the champ. He pulls Emerson out of the corner and gets an elbow to the gut from the champ. Two more elbows and a jawbreaker rock Balkan back. Emerson hits the ropes and goes for a clothesline. Balkan ducks and hits the ropes. The two collide in the middle as Balkan takes down the champ with a diving crossbody. He covers.

RW: NICE!
Balkan gets up slow as Emerson turns towards him. Emerson comes off the ropes with a running knee to the face that keeps him down again.
JC: VICIOUS!
Emerson comes off the ropes again and hits a knee drop.Emerson waits for him to get up. He is kneeling in the corner, waiting to set up the spear. When Balkan gets to his feet, Emerson runs at him for the spear but Balkan moves, throwing him through the ropes to the outside. Emerson gets up slowly. Emerson comes back towards the ring, but Balkan runs and baseball slides, sending Emerson back first into the barricade. Balkan goes to the apron and jumps off with a crossbody to Emerson on the outside.
RW: Looks like that took a lot out of Balkan, too.
Both men slowly get to their feet. Not wanting to win by countout, Balkan grabs ahold of Emerson and rolls him into the ring. Balkan rolls in and covers.

He pulls Balkan up and whips him to the corner. Before he can follow through, he looks at the ramp to see Apokalypse methodically approaching. Emerson is caught off guard by an elbow smash and belly to belly suplex from Balkan. Balkan goes for the cover.

JC: Whoa!

The ref looks at them and technically it is a pin, the ref counts 1…………….2……………….3!!!
RW: Fans erupt but there is no celebration in the ring, both men cannot hear what is going on.
Winner: Lucas Balkan via pinfall.
Medical personnel come to the ring and take both men out in stretchers.
RW: We have a new world champion, but it cost both these men and they made some IV fluid and a weeks worth of bed rest.
Harold comes out having witnessed quite the night of carnage he waves to the fans and mouths the words “We barely getting started.”
