Gold, Guts, & Glory
September 15th, 2011
Bronx, New York
Earlier in the evening, as fans began to fill out Under Armour Arena, Code Red Wrestling scheduled three ‘‘dark’‘ non televised matches for the fans in attendance…
William ‘‘The Dragon’‘ Draconis vs. Grunge
Due to Crazy Ivan’s manager sending him back to the Ukraine, his match was cancelled… Grunge, Ivan’s original opponent, was then slotted to face Draconis instead of his originally scheduled local competitor. In what was actually a very intense match up, the fans were treated to their first chance to see Grunge and Draconis in action. The fans who were already in the building were treated to a back and forth battle which ended with Draconis lifting Grunge up for the ‘‘Southern Revenge’‘ (chokeslam to stunner) but Grunge would counter it and connect with the Renhei from out of nowhere for the 1…2..3!
Kama Lama vs. Alexander Linn
After the opening match had the fans buzzing a little bit, they saw another fast paced matchup between the former tag team champion, Kama Lama, and the second generation rookie, Alex Linn. Both men pulled out all the stops in a match that was fought in the air and outside the ring more than it was on the mat; but in the end, it was the rookie Alex Linn dropping Lama with the ‘‘Dread Zeppelin’‘ for the 3 count and his first, albeit unofficial, win in Code Red Wrestling.
Bryan Deas vs. Jackson ‘‘Jax’‘ Teller
In the final dark match of the night, Deas and Teller squared off in a much slower paced match than the first two of the night. The big man Deas, and the rugged biker Teller slugged it out to start the match, a pure fist fight that would eventually see Teller take the advantage after lifting Deas from the mat and planting him hard with a stalling brainbuster. Teller’s old-school onslaught continued throughout the match as he continuously displayed picture perfect, textbook suplexes and slams, capping the match with his finisher, the Fireman’s Carry Slam… After the match Teller took a mic and called out Fallen and the rest of Sinner’s and Saints, but they were not yet in the building… He promised to seek them out before the night was done…
Cameras cut to the back were Logan Neilson and Ally Wilkinson have just recently arrived and are walking into the locker room area. Ally and Logan chat inaudibly as the camera cuts back to the now full arena where we are ready to go live in 3… 2…

We go live to the home of Code Red Wrestling, the ‘Under Armour Arena’ in the Bronx, NY, right across the street from Yankee Stadium…
CRW Owner Talon Wilkinson stands in the center of the ring. He is wearing a black suit with a navy blue tie. The Tron displays a tribute video to the NYPD, FDNY, and the United States Armed Forces as the fans start to chant ‘‘USA’‘.
Talon, ‘‘Ladies and gentlemen… before we get started tonight, please join me in a moment of silence… Afterwards we have a special guest here to sing the national anthem and then we will begin…’‘
The entire arena goes silent for several moments… After the silence ends, Christina Aguilera walks down to the ring and takes the Microphone… Talon embraces her and exits the ring as she belts out a moving rendition of the National Anthem… The fans go wild at the conclusion of the anthem and again begin to chant ‘‘USA, USA’‘… Christina exits the ring and heads to the back as the lights dim and the show begins…
‘‘Code Red’‘ by Nonpoint begins to play over the P.A. as fireworks erupt around the Armour-tron and then down the entrance ramp, around the ring and finally a massive eruption from each turnbuckle post explodes as the camera pans the jam packed audience. The sold out crowd hold up signs across the arena… ‘‘CRW > ALL’‘ ‘‘United Failure’‘ ‘‘Merlyn stole my watch’‘ ‘‘I remember Lou Manson’‘ ‘‘Neilson = Champion’‘ ‘‘I came for B.D. Dredge’‘ ‘‘Phoenix Rising’‘ and ‘‘WTF does Biffy Clyro mean?’‘ can all be seen as the camera continues to pan the audience. The camera checks out the ringside area and the fans continue to get louder as the camera spots several celebrities in attendance. In the front row, Alex Rodriguez, Kate Hudson, Nick Swisher and his wife, along with Derek Jeter can be seen… beside them, The New York Knicks’ Carmello Anthony and Amari Stoudamire are spotted… and across the ring Katy Perry can be found along with Osi Umenyora, Mathias Kiwanuka, and Justin Tuck of the New York Giants… The camera cuts and catches Mark Sanchez, Darrell Revis, Bart Scott, and Mike Devito of the NY Jets sitting behind the commentary team as well!
(Mike Conway): Welcome everyone to CRW : Gold, Guts, and Glory! Brought to you by Under Armour! Under Armour,’‘ Protect this house!’‘ I’m Mike Conway here with Eli Brooks and Kelly Reyes!

(Kelly Reyes): Tonight’s main event is going to be huge Eli, Who will be the first ever Code Red Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion?! Could it be Logan Neilson overcoming the experience and legacies of his opponents, will it be Eddie Phoenix, the PWI’s #1 Ranked Wrestler in the world? Or will it be Michael Dredge… one of the all time legends in this business once again rising up to the top?
(Mike): Alright you two right now; Who wins tonight?
(Eli): I’ve gotta tell you guys, I’m thinking that tonight is Dredge’s night.
(Kelly): His ankle is said to be nearly 100% again after his hard fought battle with Eddie on Face Off, but will it hold up? I don’t think so, I’m going with Eddie Phoenix.
(Eli): Mike, who do you think will win it?
(Mike): I am going with the underdog here, Logan Neilson wins it tonight, and you know why? …because just like last week, Eddie and Dredge are going to go full speed head on, only this time Logan will be there to pick up the pieces… Alright now we are going to send you to Ramon in the ring to get our first bout under way!
Oblivion vs. Fallen : #1 Contender Anarchy Championship : Anarchy Rules
Referee: Blake Henderson
(Ramon): This match is Anarchy Rules, and the winner of this contest will be number 1 contender for the Anarchy Championship. Introducing first….. Steven ‘‘Fallen’‘ Angel!
‘‘Welcome to the Family’‘ by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play as the arena dims and red lights flash around the arena. On the Titan-Tron flashes the words....In every Saint there is a Sinner.... As pictures of Fallens masks flash across the screen one by one. Ending finally on his current mask. Then the words....And in every Sinner there is a Saint!.... As the pyro’s explode, the spotlight stops on Fallen standing on the ramp raising a black bat high into the air. He quickly runs down to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. He quickly jumps up and hops to the second turnbuckle raising his bat high. He turns and sits on the top turnbuckle as he adjusts his taped hands and awaits his opponent.
(Mike): Well Eli, what can you tell us about Fallen?
(Eli): Steven ‘‘Fallen’‘ Angel is a great competitor, he will do good things in CRW, he’s been in a world champion before, and he wants to do the same again... He’s tough, rough, and he’s got a mean streak...
(Ramon): And his opponent….
The lights go out. Oblivion by Mastodon begins to play, as the thunderous combination of the guitars, bass, and drums explode through the arena's speakers.
I flew beyond the sun before it was time
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell
Waiting for you to pull me back in
I almost had the world in my sight
Lost love, bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed Tell you I failed...Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in Oblivion.
(Ramon): Weighing in at 305 pounds...... O-O-O-OBLI-I-IVI-I-I-I-O-O-O-O-NN-N-NN-N!!!
There are a mixture of cheers and boos, more cheers than boos. The crowd stands onto their feet and rush towards the security railings. Oblivion slowly slinks out to the entrance stage, low to the ground. The arena explodes with cheers and some boos. Oblivion has it's arms extended outward, with it's index fingers pointing out. The Vixen are nearly undressed, as they come slithering out and walks next to Oblivion. The Vixen are dressed with bra-like bikini tops, with very short skirts. They have glitter plastered everywhere. Their makeup is smeared, but maintained to be very attractive. The guitar solo begins, lasers flash throughout the arena. Thunder-like sounds rattle the arena, as lighting strike-like sounds shake the foundation of the arena. The music continues to thrash as The Vixen are divided in two groups. As, one group are twirling around with the insanity of the music, while the other group, of The Vixen are thrashing with the music. Their energy has the Coliseum going completely crazy! Oblivion slowly stands up, with it's arms extended outward, spins around. Oblivion, The Vixen, and The Gathering get to ringside. As IT pops IT's neck, Oblivion holds IT's arms outward. The Vixen rub their hands all over Oblivion's well sculpted abdominal muscles. A couple of girls begin to French kiss. The Gathering continues to slink around, tormenting the crowd, nearby. Oblivion proceeds to slide under the ring ropes and is walking over to a corner. The half naked women slide into the ring, in various sexual manners. Oblivion climbs up to the second turnbuckle and is raising IT's arms to an mostly cheering crowd. Oblivion jumps down and walks over to the centre of the ring. The Gathering slithers away under the ring, with blood on their hands. Several thousand cameras flash throughout the arena, as Oblivion strikes a muscular pose, with The Vixen rubbing all over Oblivion. All of the women, of The Vixen, begin to kiss. The Gathering peak, from under the ring, as they begin to snarl and bark, while white foam drips out of their mouths.
NOW I'M LOST IN OBLIVION!!!
(Eli): Oblivion is very unhappy he lost the match at Face Off that would’ve won him his first taste of CRW gold.. he says he’s going to do whatever it takes to win the title shot tonight.
(Mike):When that man says ‘‘anything’‘ I really think he means anything… I don’t like him, he’s a freak.
(Kelly): …and after what he did to Justice Legal on Face Off, I shudder to think what he is really capable of.
The bell rings and Oblivion heads straight for Fallen and they tie up and he soon over powers Fallen and whips him into the ropes and takes him down with a big clothesline. Fallen pops up grabbing the back of his head in pain. They tie up again but this time Fallen ducks behind Oblivion, comes of the ropes and takes him down with a drop kick to the back of the legs. Fallen gets up quickly and hit’s a quick elbow drop across Oblivions back. He seems unaffected by this as he climbs to his feet almost as quickly as Fallen this time. Fallen charges at him but scoops him up and throws him to the outside of the ring. Fallen lands heavily on the mats outside and arches his back, when suddenly Oblivion crashes on top of him after impressively vaulting the top rope. The fans erupt while Oblivion searches under the ring for weapons, a few seconds later he comes back with long piece of pipe and also dragging out table. He is smiling sickly as he sets the table up and turns around only for Fallen to connect with a knee to the gut. Fallen takes control and whips Oblivion into the railing so hard he flips over and ends up in the front row of the crowd.
(Eli): Look at the RAW power of Oblivion!
(Mike): Its really frightening isn’t it?!
(Kelly): All I can say is WOW.
Fallen lifts up the pipe and waits for Oblivion to pop back up and when he does he goes to crack him with the pipe but the big man blocks his arm and then hip tosses Fallen over the railing into the crowd too. Some fans are cowering out of the way when Oblivion lifts Fallen up and drops him stomach first across the railings. He climbs back over to ringside and takes up the pipe, and with Fallen draped over the railings he starts hitting him across the back. Soon the skin on Fallens back is split open and is soon covered in blood as Oblivion tosses the pipe aside and drags Fallen onto the table. He drabs the table so it is right beside the ring and he climbs onto the apron, Fallen is starting to stir but Oblivion snatches him up and grabs him into a package Piledriver, jumping forward, right through the table. Oblivion rolls him over and makes the pin as the ref counts 1.……..2... But Fallen kicks out. The crowd cheer as the match continues and Oblivion grabs Fallen up and rolling him in the ring before searching for more weapons. He comes over to the announcers table. Snatching up a monitor and a chair, he slides back in the ring. He drops the chair and stalks Fallen with the monitor, he slowly gets to his feet and when Oblivion swings for him, he ducks last second and hits a shocking Rock Bottom right onto the chair. He hooks the leg and the ref counts 1.……2.… but Oblivion kicks out.
(Mike): My god! Fallen is losing blood like a stuck pig! This is getting serious!
(Eli): For his own sake, he might wanna just give this one up so he can get some medical attention!
Fallen gets to his feet, still a little shaky from blood loss. He snatches up the TV Monitor and turns to see Oblivion on all fours. Fallen smirks before crashing the monitor through his head, bringing a loud pop from the crowd. He takes the chair then crashes it down onto the monitor around Oblivions head, then jumps, putting the chair beneath him and hit’s a leg drop on his opponent. Fallen rolls him over and goes for the pin again as the ref counts 1.……..2.…… but somehow Oblivion gets the shoulder up. Fallen can’t believe it and he rolls out the ring and drags out a fire extinguisher from beneath it. He rolls back in the ring as Oblivion stumbles to his feet removing the monitor to reveal a bloodied and beaten face. He throws the monitor at Fallen how bats it away with the extinguisher. Oblivion charges him and takes him off guard with a spear. He lands hard rights to Fallens face before climbing off and grabbing up the chair and turning just as Fallen stretches for the extinguisher and sprays him in the face. Oblivion stumbles backwards, momentarily stunned as Fallen dives up and blasts him in the face with extinguisher. The loud ‘clang’ sound as the metal connects with Oblivions skull echoes around the arena, seconds before Fallen lays him out with the ‘‘Fallen Drop’‘ (Pedigree) on to the chair. He rolls him over and hooks the leg and the ref counts 1.………2.………..3. Oblivions last ditch attempt to kick out comes a second too late as Fallen rolls out of the ring, celebrating.
(Ramon): Here is your winner….. Steven ‘Fallen’ Angel!
(Eli): Oblivion missed kicking out by THIS much… I can’t believe it, but Fallen won this one and he also escaped the ring without Oblivion getting his hands on him…
(Mike): Oblivion looks enraged guys… this isn’t good…
Oblivion begins to freak out in the middle of the ring, the ref quickly bails leaving the mad man alone, but he continues to go insane… He grabs the chair and fire extinguisher and throws them down the entrance ramp before the Vixens slither from under the ring… seemingly calming him down to the point that he dismisses them and walks to the back…
The cameras cut backstage where Michael Dredge and Sandra are sitting in his locker room with Shakir and Evers… they appear to be talking strategies for their respective matches… the camera comes in on the end of the discussion.
(Dredge): Now like I said… you guys stay back here no matter what, I don’t need any help.
(Shakir): We understand friend…
(Evers): I would like to be ringside to watch the battle, but I can use the monitors back here… I’ll respect your wishes.
Sandra looks over at Dredge and then away again.
(Dredge): What?
(Sandra): I just think you should let me come to the ring with you… I’m your manager, why the hell should I stay in the back all the time?!
(Dredge): Sandra stop… you know why. I told you, when the times right, you can start coming to the ring, but I don’t want you out there, it just gives everyone reasons to talk and distract me from my focus of being world Champion again…
Sandra storms off leaving the three members of United Factor alone as the shot cuts back to ringside…
United Factor(c) vs. Sinners & Saints : Tag Team Championship
Referee: Ricardo ‘‘Dirty’‘ Sanchez
(Ramon): Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is for one fall, first coming to the ring… the challengers, Az and Finn… Sinners and Saints!
‘‘Bad Company’‘ by Five Finger Death Punch begins to play as a red and white tribal ankh with angel wings, horns and a halo appear on the tron. From backstage comes Finn and Az. Nodding to each other they rush the ring and slide in under the bottom rope. They jump quickly to their feet and climb the turnbuckles to pose for the crowd.
(Mike) Well there they are the newest tag team on the CRW roster folks. But what do we really know about either of these two wrestlers?
(Eli) Well Mike I have been watching and for a relatively new tag team to wrestling not much is really known about these two. However my sources have informed me that we are in for a definite wrestling match here tonight. My sources say that these two have something to prove here tonight.
(Kelly): A battle of two young teams tonight, the future is bright for CRW’s tag team division…
(Ramon): and their opponents… they are the reigning CRW Tag Team Champions… Curt Evers and Shakir… United Factor!
The crowd roars to life and the fans get to their feet as Disturbed ‘‘Another way to Die’‘ hits the PA. Curt Evers and Shakir make their way to the ring walking in step with each other, As they enter the ring Shakir and Curt find a turnbuckle climb it and taunt the crowd.
(Mike) Well there they are the current CRW Tag Team Champions United Factor has come and taken the ring Eli. But what kind of challenge are they in for with this new tag team of Sinners and Saints?
(Eli) I don’t really care Mikem Come on it’s the tag team champions and they are the champions for a reason besides what do we really know about this new tag team anyways?
(Kelly) Eli that’s what they thought about other tag teams before and it has landed many a tag team in trouble by underestimating their opponents...
The bell sounds after the ref checks and signals. Shakir is talking strategy as Finn runs over and dropkicks his back knocking him into the corner. Curt blind tags Shakir but Finn doesn’t notice. He picks Shakir up and as the ref starts yelling him, He whips himself at the ropes as he comes off running at Shakir, Curt comes sailing over the top rope over Shakir to shoulder block Finn to the ground. Az starts yelling at the ref as Curt quickly gets back to his feet and Shakir gets on the apron.
The ref waves off Az’s concerns as Curt begins to size up and slowly stalk Finn. Curt is screaming at Finn to get back to his feet, when suddenly Finn explodes with a vicious clothesline as Curt come running in. Curt quickly reverses the move into a hurricanrana sending Finn back to the mat. Finn slams his hands down on the mat and as Curt recovers, Curt comes towards Finn as Finn gets back to his feet. He shakes his head and Curt laughs....When suddenly Finn grabs Curt and lands a mean belly to belly on Curt. Shakir goes to step in and The ref is in his face telling him to get back to his corner. So he doesn't see Az slip in and as Finn lifts Curt, Az comes off the top rope with a clothesline. As Finn slips out of the ring, Az picks Curt up and hits him with a stalling brainbuster. As Az has Curt up vertical, Curt knees Az in the top of his head causing Curt to land on his feet. He quickly reverses the move holding Az in the air, He quickly slams Az back down to the mat and both men rise to their feet eyeing each other as they slowly circle in the ring.
(Mike) Well it seems both teams have come here tonight to prove a point Eli. With both teams doing consecutive strong moves back and forth. Shakir showed his dominance over Finn but was thrown for a loop by Az. And Az showing to everyone just how determined Sinners and Saints are. Curt and Shakir seem to be settling into a descent pace against the new tag team.
(Eli) Well Mike you got that right. It seems both tag teams are here to prove a point, especially after that attack backstage on Unified Front by the challengers Sinners and Saints. I am surprised by the action we are seeing in the ring. And look...Just like their teacher Fallen they have to resort to cheat tactics. Big Surprise!
Curt rushes in as Az jumps and lands on him with both feet on Curts back. Curt reverses into a slide between Az legs and quickly pops back to his feet springboarding off the middle rope into a cross body bolock on Az. Az ducks to the side rolling back to his feet, as Curt begins to stand, Az rushes in and spears Curt into the corner.Shakir and Finn are both screaming to their partners to get up as the crowd is rooting for both teams. Az gets up and picks up Curt and puts him on the top turnbuckle setting him up for the muscle buster. Curt lands a couple of shots into Az'sribs and slams him back down to the mat with a tornado ddt. The ref begins to count as both men lay panting on the mat.
1- 2- 3- 4- Curt uses the ropes and slowly pulls himself to his feet. Az gets up on his hands and knees. Curt jumps and spins landing on the top rope and preforms a moonsault to Az. Az who was waiting grabs Curt in mid air and swings him into a modified black hole slam. And quickly grabs Curts leg as The ref hits the mat and begins a count...
1-
2-
Thr....Kick out!! Az drags his hands through his long hair as The ref signals the kick out. Az gets up and starts screaming at the ref when Curt rolls over and starts crawling towards the corner and Shakirs outstretched hand. Az spins and grabs Curts ankle and tries to drag him back towards the Sinners and Saints corner, when Curt Rolls and mule kicks Az back towards his corner. As Az tags in Finn who jumps the rope and runs after Curt. Finn grabs Curts foot as Curt dives and barely tags in Shakir. Who jumps on top the top turnbuckle and jumps both knees coming at Finns head. Finn mirrored mask suddenly turns as Finn leaves the ground and grabs Shakir's head. They come down with Finn landing a modified RKO on Shakir. As Finn rolls to his feet he is nailed in the chest by Curts missile dropkick sending him slamming back into the corner. Az has slipped back into the ring and hits Curt with the Wrath (a Samoa Spike) knocking Curt to the ground grabbing at his throat. Az smiles as he hops to the top turnbuckle and preforms a Vengance (Warriors Stomp).Az leans on the top rope and looks at the crowd booing him he screams ‘‘This is your Hero?’‘ As he turns back around Shakir grabs his arm and takes him down with a arm drag take down. Shakir rolls across Az's inert form and springboards off the ropes with a mean looking Lionsault to the downed Az.
(Mike) Wow Eli these two teams are pulling out all the stops here tonight showing us how much skill and desire not to mention drive they have to prove themselves to each other. And the action just keeps increasing with almost every near pin fall.
(Eli) Gee Mike you have a way of under stating everything...I bet you make the funniest things BORING!!! Seriously thats all you can say about this great match so far?!? Both teams giving it all they got in that ring for all of our FANS!!! The action is INTENSE!! This back and forth see saw battle is one Heck of a match whats to come? It looks like Code Red is living up to its name and is going into overdrive....
The ref quickly hits the mat and begins his count only to be interrupted as Finn yanks Shakir off of Az. He quickly starts stomping on Shakir, picking him up, he slings him into the ropes Finn snaps him up into the three amigos. Az slowly starts to rise asShakir attempts to get back into the ring The ref stops him and doesnt see as Az snags up Curt in a Jacknife Powerbomb. Finn comes off the top rope with a corkscrew senton onto Curt.
(Eli) What the… These two teams are performing moves we haven’t seen before....
(Kelly) Well Eli its called the Saints Rise one of the Sinners and Saints tag finishers. I think these two are over reaching a bit if they are thinking United Factor is done by any means.
The ref turns and screams at Sinners and Saints about both members being in the ring at the same time. Finn quickly gets back into the corner as Az leans back and both men are watching Curt. Az casually leans a hand back and tags in Finn as Az grabs Curt and sets him up for the Sinners Fall. Both men climb the turnbuckles and as Azflies going for a phoenix splash Curt rolls out of the way so no-one is there when Az lands. Curt quickly grabs Az and drags him back to Unified Fronts corner. He tags in Shakir and smiles at Finn as he locks Az in a Boston Crab. Shakir salutes Finn as he hooks on his camel clutch.
(Eli) wow Mike look its a slap in the Sinners and Saints faces as the locked on the Canadian Sand Storm. Both men are trying to make Finn get mad and jump in the ring.
(Mike) Of course they are Eli they are trying to see if they can goad the new guy in so they can keep the move locked on longer...
The ref quickly makes both men break the move and Curt gets back into the corner. Shakir smiles as he grabs up Az and signals for the end...Curt hops down and grabs a chair tossing it in to Shakir, who has now climbed the turnbuckle. Shakir jumps with the chair and out of nowhere Az jumps and is drop kicking the chair, sending both men back to the mat in pain. Az starts towards his corner as Curt reaches down and tags himself in. He hops the ropes and charges after Az as Az leaps and tags in Finn. As Finn comes in he meets Curt and the two start exchanging blows. Lefts and rights land on both sides with neither one seeming to get the upper hand. The ref kicks out the chair so doesnt see when Finn dropkicks Curt towards the Sinners and Saints corner. As Curt stops himself he looks up as Az spits a red mist into his face. Curt is wiping the mist from his face as Finn lands a devastating Emerald Isle (619 to top rope springboard ddt) to Curt. The ref begins to count as Finn rolls up Curt. 1- 2-
Suddenly Curt kicks out as Finn rises and gets in the corner signaling for Curt to rise. Curt quickly rolls sideways into the corner where Shakir is waiting. Finn motions for Shakir to get in as he starts forward. Shakir smiles evilly as he hops the top rope and runs at Finn. Finn snags up Shakir and goes for a side slam. Shakir keeps spinning and hooks Finns head as he wraps around turning it into a hurricanrana. Sending Finn to the mat. Shakir jumps up and blast right back into Finn with the Desert Storm Shakir version of the rolling thunder. He quickly runs up the turnbuckle and lands a twisting frog splash onto Finn.
The ref goes quickly to count....1- Az tries to get in but Curt meets him halfway with a missle dropkick sending Az back outside between the ropes. 2- Finn's foot slips onto the bottom rope as Az begins to get up Shakir suicide dives between the ropes sending both men crashing into the barricade which collapses back into the crowd. The ref turns back just as Finn kicks out Curt is smiling and encouraging the young man to get up. As Finn rises Curt catches him with a scissors kick to the back of the head, he steps down to Finns legs and grabbing them signals and nails the sharpshooter. The ref gets down and asks Finn if he wants to give up. Finn gets to his hands and starts to claw his way one hand at a time to the ropes. With each step Curt applies more pressure. Finn flips onto his back and applies a ankle lock to Curt. Curt quickly stomps Finn in his masked face and scrambles free he grabs Finns upper body. Finn grabs the rope as Curt goes to apply the crippler crossface. The ref separates both men who rise and start circling the ring as EMTs start coming down the ramp to check on the two who still havent moved. The lock up and Finn catches Curt with an European uppercut sending Curt back into the ropes. Finn quickly stays on him and spring boarding off the middle rope he goes for an ensiguri catching Curts head. Finn steps up to his legs and lifts him in a Liontamer. Curts hand rises and he reaches for the ropes. Finn stands and drags Curt back as Curt twists and slips between Finns leg taking him down and standing up with Finn in an ankle lock. Finn starts reaching desperately for the ropes. Curt stomps on his back and drags him back to the center of the ring. Stopping and stomping until Finn sweeps Curts leg. Finn attempts to rise and falls back onto a waiting Curt who wraps his legs around Finn's head and chest....Curt laughs as he slips Finn into the Massasauga Snake Bite (GogoPlata Submission). The ref asks Finn if he wants to submit and Finn shakes him off. He attempts to lift Curt and slam him down to the mat but this only makes Curt tighten his lock and wrench harder. Finn's knees begin to buckle and Curt cranks even harder. Finn finally taps and The ref calls for the bell.....
(Ramon) The winners of this match and still tag team champions… United Factor!
(Kelly): What a great showing by both teams here tonight guys… what did you think of the match?
(Mike): This one really put the tag division on display here, Finn and Az looked great, but just not good enough here tonight.
(Eli): I really thought United Factor looked great tonight, but Sinners and Saints kept it close all night long. A big step in the right direction for any young tag team…
The cameras cut backstage once again where Eddie Phoenix is seen sitting in his locker room. His headphones are in his ears as he listens to his pre-match play list, shadow boxing as he warms himself up.
The camera then cuts over to Logan’s locker room where he sits with Ally. The two are chatting about something inaudibly when a knock comes at the door…
(Logan): Expecting some one hun?
(Ally): Nope, unless it’s Talon, but he told me he wasn’t gonna do the prematch talk this time since he’s the ref. Gotta be fair ya know?
Logan nods and gives an ‘‘ay’‘ as he walks to the locker room door… He slightly opens in and then quickly shuts the door.
(Ally): Boogie Man? Haha
Logan smiles but his eyes seem nervous…
(Logan): naw, not so lucky… stupid practical jokers givin me a wee rib… I’ll handle em… dinnae worry; will right back…
Ally smiles warmly as she picks up a copy of Cosmo and reads while Logan is gone… Logan steps out and the camera pans wide to reveal Katy Perry…
(Logan): Fuck all, whattarya doin back haer?
Katy smiles sheepishly and speaks.
(Katy) sorry… security let me back… Just wanted to wish you luck tonight.
(Logan): Well than—
Before he can continue, Katy grabs him and kisses him… After a second she breaks the kiss and walks away. She looks back over her shoulder and smiles.
(Katy): Good Luck…
Logan looks stunned as he wipes his mouth, seeing lipstick on his hand he goes into a bit of a panic as the shot cuts back to ringside.
Karl Sykes(c) vs. Markus Lightning Anarchy Championship
Referee: Leroy Jenkins
(Ramon): This match is Anarchy Rules, and is for the Anarchy Championship. Introducing first, the challenger ….. Markus…… Lightning!
Forsaken by Skillet plays over the P.A as Markus Lightning comes to the ring.
(Kelly): Well here is Markus Lightning, the young daredevil who will throw all caution to the wind...
(Mike): Lightning was strangely quiet this week leading up to G3; any idea why?
(Eli): I think he was realising how deep in it he was and he clammed up... Sykes is one of the best rookies I’ve ever seen in my days of wrestling. He is hungry, strong, smart, and now in this Anarchy division in its hard core environment, he is showing he can adapt to new challenges...
(Ramon): And his opponent, and current Code-Red Anarchy Champion…. ‘The Predator’ Karl…. Sykes!
‘‘Where the Spirit Leads Me’‘ by Times of Grace plays as Karl Sykes walks out on to the stage carrying a bottle of water. He looks into the crowd as he receives a mixed reaction before slowly but confidently walking down to the ring. Once in the ring he takes a long drink from his bottle and throws the half empty bottle into the crowd, showering most of the front row, he smirks as his music fades out.
The camera pans around the ring taking in 3 shopping carts placed around the ring, full of random weapons, it pans back in on the ring as the bell rings and both men pace around the ring, sizing one another up. They walk to the centre of the ring and go to tie up but Lightning dances backwards and Sykes looks at him, a little confused and annoyed and tells Lightning to ‘‘bring it’‘. Lightning paces again and then tries a swift kick but Sykes catches his foot and he goes for an Enziguri but Sykes ducks and Lightning lands on his face. He rolls out of the ring to collect himself as the fans begin to boo. Sykes follows him out and as he does Lightning pops up onto the apron and spring boards off the ropes and hits Sykes with a flying kick to the side of the head. Sykes is knocked back into a shopping cart and weapons spill from it. He turns to grab up a glass bottle but before he can swing it Lightning has speared him into the cart and they land awkwardly over it. They both roll to their feet quickly enough though and Lightning charges in but is taken off guard by spine buster onto the side of the cart. He hollers in pain and slumps to the side as Sykes rummages about from something to use.
(Eli): Now see, I like this… carts full of weapons for title matches… what are we gonna see come out of there? I hope they don’t pull out Lady Gaga.
(Mike): What?!
(Eli): She gets into some weird places… and this is her home town too…
Sykes comes back after him with what looks like an empty wooden drawer. He swings it over his head and crashes it down onto Lightning’s head. He swings it again but Lightning goes to kick it away and ends up putting his foot right through the bottom of it. Sykes drops it straight away and as Lightning is hobbling to his feet Sykes lays him out with a glass jar, which shatters, bits of glass cascading in the front row of the crowd. Sykes doesn’t care, he rolls the busted open Lightning into the ring, taking with him a large metal wrench and a brick. Once in the ring Lightning tries to fight him off with a kick to the midsection but Sykes absorbs the blow and throws the brick into Lightning’s face, bring a mixture of ‘‘oooh’s’‘ and laughter from the fans. Lightning looks out cold as Sykes goes for a cocky one footed pin and the ref counts 1.……2.… but Lightning kicks out. Sykes shrugs it off and lifts Lightning to his feet and whips him against the ropes and as he rebounds back, he swings the wrench like a bat and cracks Lightning in the ribs with it, he then lifts it above his head and brings it down onto his head and Lightning crumples to the floor. Sykes makes the cover as the ref counts 1.…….2.…..NO! somehow Lighting gets a shoulder up, to the disbelief of Sykes and the fans.
(Kelly): A close call there for Lightning, twice actually… but what Im worried about is those fans; glass went everywhere just a minute ago…
(Eli): That’s why you sign the waivers when you sit front row babe.
(Kelly): Don’t call me babe Eli… it kinda creeps me out.
Lightning stirs on the floor, his face drenched in his own blood as Sykes stands back, letting him get up. Once on his feet Sykes takes one step forward but Lightning explodes and rushes at him, Sykes ducks and tosses him over the ropes Lightning lands on top of another cart full of weapons. He lands awkwardly, his left leg crumpled beneath him in the cart, his back arched across as trash can full of nails, bricks and other objects and the whole cart tips on top of him. Sykes looks on, slightly in shock as the broken Markus Lightning groans in agony. He steps outside of the ring and starts dragging the debris off his opponent but as he removes the shopping cart Lightning lashes out with a night stick and catches Sykes on the side of the head, knocking him to the ground, clutching his head. Lightning slowly starts to crawl to his feet, spitting blood from his mouth, he stands still for a moment the sound of the fans in his ears when he snaps out of it. Sykes is on one knee by now and Lightning goes over to him, grabbing him up and whips him hard into the steal steps. He turns back around and tosses a mail box into the ring and then rolls Sykes in, rolling in himself too. He lifts the mail box, still on its wooden post, and swings it like a hammer at Sykes’ head but he rolls out of the way just in time. He gets to his feet and as Lightning, half blinded by his own blood, swings the again Sykes ducks and hit’s a rapid ‘‘Syked-Out’‘ (Zig Zag). He dives for the cover as the ref counts 1.……..2.…….3! Sykes rolls from the ring and is handed his belt as ‘Where the Spirit Leads Me‘ by Times of Grace starts to play.
(Mike) An impressive win tonight for Karl Sykes... who continues to reign as Anarchy Champion. Remember, after tonight the Romanov ruling goes into effect, and anyone can gun for the champ when he is on CRW property.
(Eli): Thats going to be interesting indeed... my question is, How will Lightning respond to this big loss, and what is Fallen’s game plan going to be heading into Face Off?!
(Ramon): And your winner, and still Code Red Anarchy Champion….. Karl…. Sykes!
Backstage the cameras cut to the CRW Staff Office… Kama Lama steps out with a smile on his face as the shot cuts back to ringside…
(Eli): Well guys, what do you think that was all about?
(Mike): I don’t know… but it probably isn’t good…
(Eli): Kama Lama has got something planned, and I think I like it.
September 15th, 2011
Bronx, New York
Earlier in the evening, as fans began to fill out Under Armour Arena, Code Red Wrestling scheduled three ‘‘dark’‘ non televised matches for the fans in attendance…
William ‘‘The Dragon’‘ Draconis vs. Grunge
Due to Crazy Ivan’s manager sending him back to the Ukraine, his match was cancelled… Grunge, Ivan’s original opponent, was then slotted to face Draconis instead of his originally scheduled local competitor. In what was actually a very intense match up, the fans were treated to their first chance to see Grunge and Draconis in action. The fans who were already in the building were treated to a back and forth battle which ended with Draconis lifting Grunge up for the ‘‘Southern Revenge’‘ (chokeslam to stunner) but Grunge would counter it and connect with the Renhei from out of nowhere for the 1…2..3!
Kama Lama vs. Alexander Linn
After the opening match had the fans buzzing a little bit, they saw another fast paced matchup between the former tag team champion, Kama Lama, and the second generation rookie, Alex Linn. Both men pulled out all the stops in a match that was fought in the air and outside the ring more than it was on the mat; but in the end, it was the rookie Alex Linn dropping Lama with the ‘‘Dread Zeppelin’‘ for the 3 count and his first, albeit unofficial, win in Code Red Wrestling.
Bryan Deas vs. Jackson ‘‘Jax’‘ Teller
In the final dark match of the night, Deas and Teller squared off in a much slower paced match than the first two of the night. The big man Deas, and the rugged biker Teller slugged it out to start the match, a pure fist fight that would eventually see Teller take the advantage after lifting Deas from the mat and planting him hard with a stalling brainbuster. Teller’s old-school onslaught continued throughout the match as he continuously displayed picture perfect, textbook suplexes and slams, capping the match with his finisher, the Fireman’s Carry Slam… After the match Teller took a mic and called out Fallen and the rest of Sinner’s and Saints, but they were not yet in the building… He promised to seek them out before the night was done…
Cameras cut to the back were Logan Neilson and Ally Wilkinson have just recently arrived and are walking into the locker room area. Ally and Logan chat inaudibly as the camera cuts back to the now full arena where we are ready to go live in 3… 2…

CRW Owner Talon Wilkinson stands in the center of the ring. He is wearing a black suit with a navy blue tie. The Tron displays a tribute video to the NYPD, FDNY, and the United States Armed Forces as the fans start to chant ‘‘USA’‘.
Talon, ‘‘Ladies and gentlemen… before we get started tonight, please join me in a moment of silence… Afterwards we have a special guest here to sing the national anthem and then we will begin…’‘
The entire arena goes silent for several moments… After the silence ends, Christina Aguilera walks down to the ring and takes the Microphone… Talon embraces her and exits the ring as she belts out a moving rendition of the National Anthem… The fans go wild at the conclusion of the anthem and again begin to chant ‘‘USA, USA’‘… Christina exits the ring and heads to the back as the lights dim and the show begins…
‘‘Code Red’‘ by Nonpoint begins to play over the P.A. as fireworks erupt around the Armour-tron and then down the entrance ramp, around the ring and finally a massive eruption from each turnbuckle post explodes as the camera pans the jam packed audience. The sold out crowd hold up signs across the arena… ‘‘CRW > ALL’‘ ‘‘United Failure’‘ ‘‘Merlyn stole my watch’‘ ‘‘I remember Lou Manson’‘ ‘‘Neilson = Champion’‘ ‘‘I came for B.D.

(Kelly Reyes): Tonight’s main event is going to be huge Eli, Who will be the first ever Code Red Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion?! Could it be Logan Neilson overcoming the experience and legacies of his opponents, will it be Eddie Phoenix, the PWI’s #1 Ranked Wrestler in the world? Or will it be Michael Dredge… one of the all time legends in this business once again rising up to the top?
(Mike): Alright you two right now; Who wins tonight?
(Eli): I’ve gotta tell you guys, I’m thinking that tonight is Dredge’s night.
(Kelly): His ankle is said to be nearly 100% again after his hard fought battle with Eddie on Face Off, but will it hold up? I don’t think so, I’m going with Eddie Phoenix.
(Eli): Mike, who do you think will win it?
(Mike): I am going with the underdog here, Logan Neilson wins it tonight, and you know why? …because just like last week, Eddie and Dredge are going to go full speed head on, only this time Logan will be there to pick up the pieces… Alright now we are going to send you to Ramon in the ring to get our first bout under way!
Oblivion vs. Fallen : #1 Contender Anarchy Championship : Anarchy Rules
Referee: Blake Henderson
(Ramon): This match is Anarchy Rules, and the winner of this contest will be number 1 contender for the Anarchy Championship. Introducing first….. Steven ‘‘Fallen’‘ Angel!
‘‘Welcome to the Family’‘ by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play as the arena dims and red lights flash around the arena. On the Titan-Tron flashes the words....In every Saint there is a Sinner.... As pictures of Fallens masks flash across the screen one by one. Ending finally on his current mask. Then the words....And in every Sinner there is a Saint!.... As the pyro’s explode, the spotlight stops on Fallen standing on the ramp raising a black bat high into the air. He quickly runs down to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. He quickly jumps up and hops to the second turnbuckle raising his bat high. He turns and sits on the top turnbuckle as he adjusts his taped hands and awaits his opponent.
(Mike): Well Eli, what can you tell us about Fallen?
(Eli): Steven ‘‘Fallen’‘ Angel is a great competitor, he will do good things in CRW, he’s been in a world champion before, and he wants to do the same again... He’s tough, rough, and he’s got a mean streak...
(Ramon): And his opponent….
The lights go out. Oblivion by Mastodon begins to play, as the thunderous combination of the guitars, bass, and drums explode through the arena's speakers.
I flew beyond the sun before it was time
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell
Waiting for you to pull me back in
I almost had the world in my sight
Lost love, bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed Tell you I failed...Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in Oblivion.
(Ramon): Weighing in at 305 pounds...... O-O-O-OBLI-I-IVI-I-I-I-O-O-O-O-NN-N-NN-N!!!
There are a mixture of cheers and boos, more cheers than boos. The crowd stands onto their feet and rush towards the security railings. Oblivion slowly slinks out to the entrance stage, low to the ground. The arena explodes with cheers and some boos. Oblivion has it's arms extended outward, with it's index fingers pointing out. The Vixen are nearly undressed, as they come slithering out and walks next to Oblivion. The Vixen are dressed with bra-like bikini tops, with very short skirts. They have glitter plastered everywhere. Their makeup is smeared, but maintained to be very attractive. The guitar solo begins, lasers flash throughout the arena. Thunder-like sounds rattle the arena, as lighting strike-like sounds shake the foundation of the arena. The music continues to thrash as The Vixen are divided in two groups. As, one group are twirling around with the insanity of the music, while the other group, of The Vixen are thrashing with the music. Their energy has the Coliseum going completely crazy! Oblivion slowly stands up, with it's arms extended outward, spins around. Oblivion, The Vixen, and The Gathering get to ringside. As IT pops IT's neck, Oblivion holds IT's arms outward. The Vixen rub their hands all over Oblivion's well sculpted abdominal muscles. A couple of girls begin to French kiss. The Gathering continues to slink around, tormenting the crowd, nearby. Oblivion proceeds to slide under the ring ropes and is walking over to a corner. The half naked women slide into the ring, in various sexual manners. Oblivion climbs up to the second turnbuckle and is raising IT's arms to an mostly cheering crowd. Oblivion jumps down and walks over to the centre of the ring. The Gathering slithers away under the ring, with blood on their hands. Several thousand cameras flash throughout the arena, as Oblivion strikes a muscular pose, with The Vixen rubbing all over Oblivion. All of the women, of The Vixen, begin to kiss. The Gathering peak, from under the ring, as they begin to snarl and bark, while white foam drips out of their mouths.
NOW I'M LOST IN OBLIVION!!!
(Eli): Oblivion is very unhappy he lost the match at Face Off that would’ve won him his first taste of CRW gold.. he says he’s going to do whatever it takes to win the title shot tonight.
(Mike):When that man says ‘‘anything’‘ I really think he means anything… I don’t like him, he’s a freak.
(Kelly): …and after what he did to Justice Legal on Face Off, I shudder to think what he is really capable of.
The bell rings and Oblivion heads straight for Fallen and they tie up and he soon over powers Fallen and whips him into the ropes and takes him down with a big clothesline. Fallen pops up grabbing the back of his head in pain. They tie up again but this time Fallen ducks behind Oblivion, comes of the ropes and takes him down with a drop kick to the back of the legs. Fallen gets up quickly and hit’s a quick elbow drop across Oblivions back. He seems unaffected by this as he climbs to his feet almost as quickly as Fallen this time. Fallen charges at him but scoops him up and throws him to the outside of the ring. Fallen lands heavily on the mats outside and arches his back, when suddenly Oblivion crashes on top of him after impressively vaulting the top rope. The fans erupt while Oblivion searches under the ring for weapons, a few seconds later he comes back with long piece of pipe and also dragging out table. He is smiling sickly as he sets the table up and turns around only for Fallen to connect with a knee to the gut. Fallen takes control and whips Oblivion into the railing so hard he flips over and ends up in the front row of the crowd.
(Eli): Look at the RAW power of Oblivion!
(Mike): Its really frightening isn’t it?!
(Kelly): All I can say is WOW.
Fallen lifts up the pipe and waits for Oblivion to pop back up and when he does he goes to crack him with the pipe but the big man blocks his arm and then hip tosses Fallen over the railing into the crowd too. Some fans are cowering out of the way when Oblivion lifts Fallen up and drops him stomach first across the railings. He climbs back over to ringside and takes up the pipe, and with Fallen draped over the railings he starts hitting him across the back. Soon the skin on Fallens back is split open and is soon covered in blood as Oblivion tosses the pipe aside and drags Fallen onto the table. He drabs the table so it is right beside the ring and he climbs onto the apron, Fallen is starting to stir but Oblivion snatches him up and grabs him into a package Piledriver, jumping forward, right through the table. Oblivion rolls him over and makes the pin as the ref counts 1.……..2... But Fallen kicks out. The crowd cheer as the match continues and Oblivion grabs Fallen up and rolling him in the ring before searching for more weapons. He comes over to the announcers table. Snatching up a monitor and a chair, he slides back in the ring. He drops the chair and stalks Fallen with the monitor, he slowly gets to his feet and when Oblivion swings for him, he ducks last second and hits a shocking Rock Bottom right onto the chair. He hooks the leg and the ref counts 1.……2.… but Oblivion kicks out.
(Mike): My god! Fallen is losing blood like a stuck pig! This is getting serious!
(Eli): For his own sake, he might wanna just give this one up so he can get some medical attention!
Fallen gets to his feet, still a little shaky from blood loss. He snatches up the TV Monitor and turns to see Oblivion on all fours. Fallen smirks before crashing the monitor through his head, bringing a loud pop from the crowd. He takes the chair then crashes it down onto the monitor around Oblivions head, then jumps, putting the chair beneath him and hit’s a leg drop on his opponent. Fallen rolls him over and goes for the pin again as the ref counts 1.……..2.…… but somehow Oblivion gets the shoulder up. Fallen can’t believe it and he rolls out the ring and drags out a fire extinguisher from beneath it. He rolls back in the ring as Oblivion stumbles to his feet removing the monitor to reveal a bloodied and beaten face. He throws the monitor at Fallen how bats it away with the extinguisher. Oblivion charges him and takes him off guard with a spear. He lands hard rights to Fallens face before climbing off and grabbing up the chair and turning just as Fallen stretches for the extinguisher and sprays him in the face. Oblivion stumbles backwards, momentarily stunned as Fallen dives up and blasts him in the face with extinguisher. The loud ‘clang’ sound as the metal connects with Oblivions skull echoes around the arena, seconds before Fallen lays him out with the ‘‘Fallen Drop’‘ (Pedigree) on to the chair. He rolls him over and hooks the leg and the ref counts 1.………2.………..3. Oblivions last ditch attempt to kick out comes a second too late as Fallen rolls out of the ring, celebrating.
(Ramon): Here is your winner….. Steven ‘Fallen’ Angel!
(Eli): Oblivion missed kicking out by THIS much… I can’t believe it, but Fallen won this one and he also escaped the ring without Oblivion getting his hands on him…
(Mike): Oblivion looks enraged guys… this isn’t good…
Oblivion begins to freak out in the middle of the ring, the ref quickly bails leaving the mad man alone, but he continues to go insane… He grabs the chair and fire extinguisher and throws them down the entrance ramp before the Vixens slither from under the ring… seemingly calming him down to the point that he dismisses them and walks to the back…
The cameras cut backstage where Michael Dredge and Sandra are sitting in his locker room with Shakir and Evers… they appear to be talking strategies for their respective matches… the camera comes in on the end of the discussion.
(Dredge): Now like I said… you guys stay back here no matter what, I don’t need any help.
(Shakir): We understand friend…
(Evers): I would like to be ringside to watch the battle, but I can use the monitors back here… I’ll respect your wishes.
Sandra looks over at Dredge and then away again.
(Dredge): What?
(Sandra): I just think you should let me come to the ring with you… I’m your manager, why the hell should I stay in the back all the time?!
(Dredge): Sandra stop… you know why. I told you, when the times right, you can start coming to the ring, but I don’t want you out there, it just gives everyone reasons to talk and distract me from my focus of being world Champion again…
Sandra storms off leaving the three members of United Factor alone as the shot cuts back to ringside…
United Factor(c) vs. Sinners & Saints : Tag Team Championship
Referee: Ricardo ‘‘Dirty’‘ Sanchez
(Ramon): Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is for one fall, first coming to the ring… the challengers, Az and Finn… Sinners and Saints!
‘‘Bad Company’‘ by Five Finger Death Punch begins to play as a red and white tribal ankh with angel wings, horns and a halo appear on the tron. From backstage comes Finn and Az. Nodding to each other they rush the ring and slide in under the bottom rope. They jump quickly to their feet and climb the turnbuckles to pose for the crowd.
(Mike) Well there they are the newest tag team on the CRW roster folks. But what do we really know about either of these two wrestlers?
(Eli) Well Mike I have been watching and for a relatively new tag team to wrestling not much is really known about these two. However my sources have informed me that we are in for a definite wrestling match here tonight. My sources say that these two have something to prove here tonight.
(Kelly): A battle of two young teams tonight, the future is bright for CRW’s tag team division…
(Ramon): and their opponents… they are the reigning CRW Tag Team Champions… Curt Evers and Shakir… United Factor!
The crowd roars to life and the fans get to their feet as Disturbed ‘‘Another way to Die’‘ hits the PA. Curt Evers and Shakir make their way to the ring walking in step with each other, As they enter the ring Shakir and Curt find a turnbuckle climb it and taunt the crowd.
(Mike) Well there they are the current CRW Tag Team Champions United Factor has come and taken the ring Eli. But what kind of challenge are they in for with this new tag team of Sinners and Saints?
(Eli) I don’t really care Mikem Come on it’s the tag team champions and they are the champions for a reason besides what do we really know about this new tag team anyways?
(Kelly) Eli that’s what they thought about other tag teams before and it has landed many a tag team in trouble by underestimating their opponents...
The bell sounds after the ref checks and signals. Shakir is talking strategy as Finn runs over and dropkicks his back knocking him into the corner. Curt blind tags Shakir but Finn doesn’t notice. He picks Shakir up and as the ref starts yelling him, He whips himself at the ropes as he comes off running at Shakir, Curt comes sailing over the top rope over Shakir to shoulder block Finn to the ground. Az starts yelling at the ref as Curt quickly gets back to his feet and Shakir gets on the apron.
The ref waves off Az’s concerns as Curt begins to size up and slowly stalk Finn. Curt is screaming at Finn to get back to his feet, when suddenly Finn explodes with a vicious clothesline as Curt come running in. Curt quickly reverses the move into a hurricanrana sending Finn back to the mat. Finn slams his hands down on the mat and as Curt recovers, Curt comes towards Finn as Finn gets back to his feet. He shakes his head and Curt laughs....When suddenly Finn grabs Curt and lands a mean belly to belly on Curt. Shakir goes to step in and The ref is in his face telling him to get back to his corner. So he doesn't see Az slip in and as Finn lifts Curt, Az comes off the top rope with a clothesline. As Finn slips out of the ring, Az picks Curt up and hits him with a stalling brainbuster. As Az has Curt up vertical, Curt knees Az in the top of his head causing Curt to land on his feet. He quickly reverses the move holding Az in the air, He quickly slams Az back down to the mat and both men rise to their feet eyeing each other as they slowly circle in the ring.
(Mike) Well it seems both teams have come here tonight to prove a point Eli. With both teams doing consecutive strong moves back and forth. Shakir showed his dominance over Finn but was thrown for a loop by Az. And Az showing to everyone just how determined Sinners and Saints are. Curt and Shakir seem to be settling into a descent pace against the new tag team.
(Eli) Well Mike you got that right. It seems both tag teams are here to prove a point, especially after that attack backstage on Unified Front by the challengers Sinners and Saints. I am surprised by the action we are seeing in the ring. And look...Just like their teacher Fallen they have to resort to cheat tactics. Big Surprise!
Curt rushes in as Az jumps and lands on him with both feet on Curts back. Curt reverses into a slide between Az legs and quickly pops back to his feet springboarding off the middle rope into a cross body bolock on Az. Az ducks to the side rolling back to his feet, as Curt begins to stand, Az rushes in and spears Curt into the corner.Shakir and Finn are both screaming to their partners to get up as the crowd is rooting for both teams. Az gets up and picks up Curt and puts him on the top turnbuckle setting him up for the muscle buster. Curt lands a couple of shots into Az'sribs and slams him back down to the mat with a tornado ddt. The ref begins to count as both men lay panting on the mat.
1- 2- 3- 4- Curt uses the ropes and slowly pulls himself to his feet. Az gets up on his hands and knees. Curt jumps and spins landing on the top rope and preforms a moonsault to Az. Az who was waiting grabs Curt in mid air and swings him into a modified black hole slam. And quickly grabs Curts leg as The ref hits the mat and begins a count...
1-
2-
Thr....Kick out!! Az drags his hands through his long hair as The ref signals the kick out. Az gets up and starts screaming at the ref when Curt rolls over and starts crawling towards the corner and Shakirs outstretched hand. Az spins and grabs Curts ankle and tries to drag him back towards the Sinners and Saints corner, when Curt Rolls and mule kicks Az back towards his corner. As Az tags in Finn who jumps the rope and runs after Curt. Finn grabs Curts foot as Curt dives and barely tags in Shakir. Who jumps on top the top turnbuckle and jumps both knees coming at Finns head. Finn mirrored mask suddenly turns as Finn leaves the ground and grabs Shakir's head. They come down with Finn landing a modified RKO on Shakir. As Finn rolls to his feet he is nailed in the chest by Curts missile dropkick sending him slamming back into the corner. Az has slipped back into the ring and hits Curt with the Wrath (a Samoa Spike) knocking Curt to the ground grabbing at his throat. Az smiles as he hops to the top turnbuckle and preforms a Vengance (Warriors Stomp).Az leans on the top rope and looks at the crowd booing him he screams ‘‘This is your Hero?’‘ As he turns back around Shakir grabs his arm and takes him down with a arm drag take down. Shakir rolls across Az's inert form and springboards off the ropes with a mean looking Lionsault to the downed Az.
(Mike) Wow Eli these two teams are pulling out all the stops here tonight showing us how much skill and desire not to mention drive they have to prove themselves to each other. And the action just keeps increasing with almost every near pin fall.
(Eli) Gee Mike you have a way of under stating everything...I bet you make the funniest things BORING!!! Seriously thats all you can say about this great match so far?!? Both teams giving it all they got in that ring for all of our FANS!!! The action is INTENSE!! This back and forth see saw battle is one Heck of a match whats to come? It looks like Code Red is living up to its name and is going into overdrive....
The ref quickly hits the mat and begins his count only to be interrupted as Finn yanks Shakir off of Az. He quickly starts stomping on Shakir, picking him up, he slings him into the ropes Finn snaps him up into the three amigos. Az slowly starts to rise asShakir attempts to get back into the ring The ref stops him and doesnt see as Az snags up Curt in a Jacknife Powerbomb. Finn comes off the top rope with a corkscrew senton onto Curt.
(Eli) What the… These two teams are performing moves we haven’t seen before....
(Kelly) Well Eli its called the Saints Rise one of the Sinners and Saints tag finishers. I think these two are over reaching a bit if they are thinking United Factor is done by any means.
The ref turns and screams at Sinners and Saints about both members being in the ring at the same time. Finn quickly gets back into the corner as Az leans back and both men are watching Curt. Az casually leans a hand back and tags in Finn as Az grabs Curt and sets him up for the Sinners Fall. Both men climb the turnbuckles and as Azflies going for a phoenix splash Curt rolls out of the way so no-one is there when Az lands. Curt quickly grabs Az and drags him back to Unified Fronts corner. He tags in Shakir and smiles at Finn as he locks Az in a Boston Crab. Shakir salutes Finn as he hooks on his camel clutch.
(Eli) wow Mike look its a slap in the Sinners and Saints faces as the locked on the Canadian Sand Storm. Both men are trying to make Finn get mad and jump in the ring.
(Mike) Of course they are Eli they are trying to see if they can goad the new guy in so they can keep the move locked on longer...
The ref quickly makes both men break the move and Curt gets back into the corner. Shakir smiles as he grabs up Az and signals for the end...Curt hops down and grabs a chair tossing it in to Shakir, who has now climbed the turnbuckle. Shakir jumps with the chair and out of nowhere Az jumps and is drop kicking the chair, sending both men back to the mat in pain. Az starts towards his corner as Curt reaches down and tags himself in. He hops the ropes and charges after Az as Az leaps and tags in Finn. As Finn comes in he meets Curt and the two start exchanging blows. Lefts and rights land on both sides with neither one seeming to get the upper hand. The ref kicks out the chair so doesnt see when Finn dropkicks Curt towards the Sinners and Saints corner. As Curt stops himself he looks up as Az spits a red mist into his face. Curt is wiping the mist from his face as Finn lands a devastating Emerald Isle (619 to top rope springboard ddt) to Curt. The ref begins to count as Finn rolls up Curt. 1- 2-
Suddenly Curt kicks out as Finn rises and gets in the corner signaling for Curt to rise. Curt quickly rolls sideways into the corner where Shakir is waiting. Finn motions for Shakir to get in as he starts forward. Shakir smiles evilly as he hops the top rope and runs at Finn. Finn snags up Shakir and goes for a side slam. Shakir keeps spinning and hooks Finns head as he wraps around turning it into a hurricanrana. Sending Finn to the mat. Shakir jumps up and blast right back into Finn with the Desert Storm Shakir version of the rolling thunder. He quickly runs up the turnbuckle and lands a twisting frog splash onto Finn.
The ref goes quickly to count....1- Az tries to get in but Curt meets him halfway with a missle dropkick sending Az back outside between the ropes. 2- Finn's foot slips onto the bottom rope as Az begins to get up Shakir suicide dives between the ropes sending both men crashing into the barricade which collapses back into the crowd. The ref turns back just as Finn kicks out Curt is smiling and encouraging the young man to get up. As Finn rises Curt catches him with a scissors kick to the back of the head, he steps down to Finns legs and grabbing them signals and nails the sharpshooter. The ref gets down and asks Finn if he wants to give up. Finn gets to his hands and starts to claw his way one hand at a time to the ropes. With each step Curt applies more pressure. Finn flips onto his back and applies a ankle lock to Curt. Curt quickly stomps Finn in his masked face and scrambles free he grabs Finns upper body. Finn grabs the rope as Curt goes to apply the crippler crossface. The ref separates both men who rise and start circling the ring as EMTs start coming down the ramp to check on the two who still havent moved. The lock up and Finn catches Curt with an European uppercut sending Curt back into the ropes. Finn quickly stays on him and spring boarding off the middle rope he goes for an ensiguri catching Curts head. Finn steps up to his legs and lifts him in a Liontamer. Curts hand rises and he reaches for the ropes. Finn stands and drags Curt back as Curt twists and slips between Finns leg taking him down and standing up with Finn in an ankle lock. Finn starts reaching desperately for the ropes. Curt stomps on his back and drags him back to the center of the ring. Stopping and stomping until Finn sweeps Curts leg. Finn attempts to rise and falls back onto a waiting Curt who wraps his legs around Finn's head and chest....Curt laughs as he slips Finn into the Massasauga Snake Bite (GogoPlata Submission). The ref asks Finn if he wants to submit and Finn shakes him off. He attempts to lift Curt and slam him down to the mat but this only makes Curt tighten his lock and wrench harder. Finn's knees begin to buckle and Curt cranks even harder. Finn finally taps and The ref calls for the bell.....
(Ramon) The winners of this match and still tag team champions… United Factor!
(Kelly): What a great showing by both teams here tonight guys… what did you think of the match?
(Mike): This one really put the tag division on display here, Finn and Az looked great, but just not good enough here tonight.
(Eli): I really thought United Factor looked great tonight, but Sinners and Saints kept it close all night long. A big step in the right direction for any young tag team…
The cameras cut backstage once again where Eddie Phoenix is seen sitting in his locker room. His headphones are in his ears as he listens to his pre-match play list, shadow boxing as he warms himself up.
The camera then cuts over to Logan’s locker room where he sits with Ally. The two are chatting about something inaudibly when a knock comes at the door…
(Logan): Expecting some one hun?
(Ally): Nope, unless it’s Talon, but he told me he wasn’t gonna do the prematch talk this time since he’s the ref. Gotta be fair ya know?
Logan nods and gives an ‘‘ay’‘ as he walks to the locker room door… He slightly opens in and then quickly shuts the door.
(Ally): Boogie Man? Haha
Logan smiles but his eyes seem nervous…
(Logan): naw, not so lucky… stupid practical jokers givin me a wee rib… I’ll handle em… dinnae worry; will right back…
Ally smiles warmly as she picks up a copy of Cosmo and reads while Logan is gone… Logan steps out and the camera pans wide to reveal Katy Perry…
(Logan): Fuck all, whattarya doin back haer?
Katy smiles sheepishly and speaks.
(Katy) sorry… security let me back… Just wanted to wish you luck tonight.
(Logan): Well than—
Before he can continue, Katy grabs him and kisses him… After a second she breaks the kiss and walks away. She looks back over her shoulder and smiles.
(Katy): Good Luck…
Logan looks stunned as he wipes his mouth, seeing lipstick on his hand he goes into a bit of a panic as the shot cuts back to ringside.
Karl Sykes(c) vs. Markus Lightning Anarchy Championship
Referee: Leroy Jenkins
(Ramon): This match is Anarchy Rules, and is for the Anarchy Championship. Introducing first, the challenger ….. Markus…… Lightning!
Forsaken by Skillet plays over the P.A as Markus Lightning comes to the ring.
(Kelly): Well here is Markus Lightning, the young daredevil who will throw all caution to the wind...
(Mike): Lightning was strangely quiet this week leading up to G3; any idea why?
(Eli): I think he was realising how deep in it he was and he clammed up... Sykes is one of the best rookies I’ve ever seen in my days of wrestling. He is hungry, strong, smart, and now in this Anarchy division in its hard core environment, he is showing he can adapt to new challenges...
(Ramon): And his opponent, and current Code-Red Anarchy Champion…. ‘The Predator’ Karl…. Sykes!
‘‘Where the Spirit Leads Me’‘ by Times of Grace plays as Karl Sykes walks out on to the stage carrying a bottle of water. He looks into the crowd as he receives a mixed reaction before slowly but confidently walking down to the ring. Once in the ring he takes a long drink from his bottle and throws the half empty bottle into the crowd, showering most of the front row, he smirks as his music fades out.
The camera pans around the ring taking in 3 shopping carts placed around the ring, full of random weapons, it pans back in on the ring as the bell rings and both men pace around the ring, sizing one another up. They walk to the centre of the ring and go to tie up but Lightning dances backwards and Sykes looks at him, a little confused and annoyed and tells Lightning to ‘‘bring it’‘. Lightning paces again and then tries a swift kick but Sykes catches his foot and he goes for an Enziguri but Sykes ducks and Lightning lands on his face. He rolls out of the ring to collect himself as the fans begin to boo. Sykes follows him out and as he does Lightning pops up onto the apron and spring boards off the ropes and hits Sykes with a flying kick to the side of the head. Sykes is knocked back into a shopping cart and weapons spill from it. He turns to grab up a glass bottle but before he can swing it Lightning has speared him into the cart and they land awkwardly over it. They both roll to their feet quickly enough though and Lightning charges in but is taken off guard by spine buster onto the side of the cart. He hollers in pain and slumps to the side as Sykes rummages about from something to use.
(Eli): Now see, I like this… carts full of weapons for title matches… what are we gonna see come out of there? I hope they don’t pull out Lady Gaga.
(Mike): What?!
(Eli): She gets into some weird places… and this is her home town too…
Sykes comes back after him with what looks like an empty wooden drawer. He swings it over his head and crashes it down onto Lightning’s head. He swings it again but Lightning goes to kick it away and ends up putting his foot right through the bottom of it. Sykes drops it straight away and as Lightning is hobbling to his feet Sykes lays him out with a glass jar, which shatters, bits of glass cascading in the front row of the crowd. Sykes doesn’t care, he rolls the busted open Lightning into the ring, taking with him a large metal wrench and a brick. Once in the ring Lightning tries to fight him off with a kick to the midsection but Sykes absorbs the blow and throws the brick into Lightning’s face, bring a mixture of ‘‘oooh’s’‘ and laughter from the fans. Lightning looks out cold as Sykes goes for a cocky one footed pin and the ref counts 1.……2.… but Lightning kicks out. Sykes shrugs it off and lifts Lightning to his feet and whips him against the ropes and as he rebounds back, he swings the wrench like a bat and cracks Lightning in the ribs with it, he then lifts it above his head and brings it down onto his head and Lightning crumples to the floor. Sykes makes the cover as the ref counts 1.…….2.…..NO! somehow Lighting gets a shoulder up, to the disbelief of Sykes and the fans.
(Kelly): A close call there for Lightning, twice actually… but what Im worried about is those fans; glass went everywhere just a minute ago…
(Eli): That’s why you sign the waivers when you sit front row babe.
(Kelly): Don’t call me babe Eli… it kinda creeps me out.
Lightning stirs on the floor, his face drenched in his own blood as Sykes stands back, letting him get up. Once on his feet Sykes takes one step forward but Lightning explodes and rushes at him, Sykes ducks and tosses him over the ropes Lightning lands on top of another cart full of weapons. He lands awkwardly, his left leg crumpled beneath him in the cart, his back arched across as trash can full of nails, bricks and other objects and the whole cart tips on top of him. Sykes looks on, slightly in shock as the broken Markus Lightning groans in agony. He steps outside of the ring and starts dragging the debris off his opponent but as he removes the shopping cart Lightning lashes out with a night stick and catches Sykes on the side of the head, knocking him to the ground, clutching his head. Lightning slowly starts to crawl to his feet, spitting blood from his mouth, he stands still for a moment the sound of the fans in his ears when he snaps out of it. Sykes is on one knee by now and Lightning goes over to him, grabbing him up and whips him hard into the steal steps. He turns back around and tosses a mail box into the ring and then rolls Sykes in, rolling in himself too. He lifts the mail box, still on its wooden post, and swings it like a hammer at Sykes’ head but he rolls out of the way just in time. He gets to his feet and as Lightning, half blinded by his own blood, swings the again Sykes ducks and hit’s a rapid ‘‘Syked-Out’‘ (Zig Zag). He dives for the cover as the ref counts 1.……..2.…….3! Sykes rolls from the ring and is handed his belt as ‘Where the Spirit Leads Me‘ by Times of Grace starts to play.
(Mike) An impressive win tonight for Karl Sykes... who continues to reign as Anarchy Champion. Remember, after tonight the Romanov ruling goes into effect, and anyone can gun for the champ when he is on CRW property.
(Eli): Thats going to be interesting indeed... my question is, How will Lightning respond to this big loss, and what is Fallen’s game plan going to be heading into Face Off?!
(Ramon): And your winner, and still Code Red Anarchy Champion….. Karl…. Sykes!
Backstage the cameras cut to the CRW Staff Office… Kama Lama steps out with a smile on his face as the shot cuts back to ringside…
(Eli): Well guys, what do you think that was all about?
(Mike): I don’t know… but it probably isn’t good…
(Eli): Kama Lama has got something planned, and I think I like it.
