[Simon]

Red is a segment
Orange is a match



RoP presents Meltdown
11/29/2010
Coyote Ugly Saloon
San Antonio, TX
Attendance: 400

The show opens in Simon's office. Simon is sitting down at his desk looking at some papers. Suddenly, as if he could feel the eyes focused on him, he looks up and see's Terry Marvin standing right there. Terry looks extremely calm and has a huge smile on his face.

TM: "Hi Simon, how are ya?"

SS: "Umm.... Hi. Is there something I can help you with?"

TM: "Well as a matter of fact, there is. See, I was wondering if you'd be so gracious, given the travesty that took place at Wrevolution, and do the right thing. "

Terry paces along Simon's Desk while Simon looks up at him confused.

SS: "The right thing?"

TM: "You know... GIVE ME MY FUCKING TITLE WHICH I RIGHTFULLY EARNED!!!!"

SS: "Okay, calm down. You know I can't do that."

TM: "You cant? Or you WONT? You saw the same match I did, I destroyed Deas... I had him pinned to the mat... I DESERVED to win that match. But your brain dead referee COUNTED THE WRONG PIN!"

SS: "Look, the referee's decision is final. I can't do anything about it."

TM: "Are you sure that's the decision you want to make? Keep in mind that there may be DIRE consequences if this is the path you CHOOSE to take."

SS: "Are you threatening me? Again?"

TM: "That's a hard question to answer isn't it? See yes, I am making a threat. But no...I am not threatening you directly. I'm just letting you know that if you want to keep the blood off your hands... you will DO THE RIGHT THING."

SS: "Look, you'll get your chance again alright? You'll get it very soon. But right now, there's nothing I can do."

Terry glares a hole through Simon before finally walking away.




TL: The following contest is your opening bout of the evening and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first……….on his way to the ring, “The Australian Sensation” Levinator!

“My Way” plays as the big, cocky Aussie mouths off to fans at ringside and walks to the ring.

SP: Lev has been in a rut as of late, losing almost all of his matches for the last few months. He’s looked at as Simon’s enforcer but with the Syn City Syndicate’s future in question, can he break out on his own?

AS: My magic 8 ball says no, Stu.

TL: And his opponent…….he is “The Shining Star” Anthony Royal!

“I Came to Play” starts to blare through the arena and Royal cockily walks out from the back to boos. He gets down to the ringside area and seems to hype himself up for the match before sliding into the ring and going right after Lev.

SP: I was in the Make Your Moment match at Wrevolution and I saw first hand how talented Royal is. He didn’t win the match, Paige did, but I’ll be damned if this guy isn’t destined for great things in RoP.

AS: Here we go, he’s wasting no time in going after Lev. Probably a good strategy given the size he’s giving up here.

Royal nails some shots to Lev’s jaw before he runs into the ropes and goes for a springboard elbow on him. Lev catches him and sends him forward into the ropes and he goes for a big boot on the rebound. Royal ducks, springs off the ropes on the other side of the ring and nails a flying spinning heel kick that takes Lev down. Lev can barely even start to get up before Royal rushes into the ropes and leaps onto the second rope to come back with a moonsault on Lev. He hooks the big man’s legs and goes for the cover. One………Two! No! Lev kicks out. Royal lifts him up and Levinator responds by breaking free of his grip and grabbing him by the neck. Royal’s eyes are wide as Lev lifts him up and nails a choke slam. It shakes the ring and Lev collapses on him and goes for a cover. One………Two! Now it’s Royal’s turn to get a shoulder up. Lev gets to his feet and slowly pulls Royal up. He nails some clubbing blows to the back of his head, then rockets him into a corner, though Royal steps up onto the top rope and leaps back at Lev with a cross body as the big man charges after him. Lev goes down, but gets up quickly. Royal is up as well, but gets booted in the gut and Lev reels him in for a power bomb. Royal rolls down his back and then gets his arm between Le’s legs and rolls him over after a brief struggle. The ref gets down and counts. One………..Two…………Three!

TL: Here is your winner, ANTHONY ROYAL!

AS: What in the hell? He did it! He scored the win over Lev! Color me not shocked, but it’s still a hell of a win, ain’t it?

SP: Anthony Royal is back to his winning ways and who knows what will come from this, Artie? I see gold in this kid’s future and most likely sooner than later.


The scene opens in a locker room. We see Shadow standing there staring at the wall. Meanwhile, Paige is bent over a body laying in a pool of blood. She is checking on the man.

Paige: JC, JC are you alright.

Shadow: That Son of a Bitch.

Paige looks up to see what Shadow is talking about. They both look on the wall to see the following written in blood...assumedly JC's blood.

WRONG CHOICE BITCH!!!!




TL: The following match is set for one fall.

"Who's to know if your Soul will fade at all?
The One you sold to fool the world.
You lost your self-esteem along the way, yeah"

As "Fake It" by Seether picks up, Anilya walks from behind the curtain and into a roar of boos and "You suck" chants. She smirks as sticks her middle finger in the air and stops.

Loveheart: From Chicago, Illinois, weighing 127 pounds, Anilya!

Anilya resumes walking to the ring and gets in. She turns and stares at Traci and chases her out of the ring. She removes her shirt, revealing her black wrestling bra tights and walks over to a turnbuckle and rests her back on it.

AS: Well, Mick Garrity, Anilya has come back to RoP and so far her return has been rather quiet. This match provides a chance for her to get back on track toward some gold.

MG: Indeed it is. She was in the match to crown the first Southwestern Heavyweight Champion and has been a constant in the company. I think that if she puts her mind into it now, this could be her chance to shine.

TL: And her opponent……..from Darlington, England….”England’s Favourite Wrestler” Stu-E Price!

“Kashmir” plays as Stu walks out from the back with Sofia on his arm to cheers. He makes his way down to the ring and then leaves Sofia at the bottom of the ring steps as he climbs up to the ring.

AS: My boy Stu suffered a set back on his own comeback of sorts two weeks ago at Wrevolution but he’s back and looking for a big W here.

MG: Both of these combatants need a win but only one can get it. Such is the nature of this business, right?

The bell rings and Anilya and Stu lock up. Stu gets Anilya in the corner, then whips her across the ring, but she steps onto the middle turnbuckle and then comes back at him with a clothesline attempt. He ducks this and Anilya seems to stop dead in her tracks. As Stu turns to face her, she leaps up and backward with a pele kick to his skull. Stu stumbles into the ropes and then staggers right into an armdrag from Anilya that sends him to the bar room floor. He looks up just as Anilya takes a running start and leaps over the top rope with a cork screw that takes him down and gets a pop from the fans. She gets up and rolls Stu into the ring before she climbs onto the apron and then leaps over with a slingshot leg drop across his throat. She hooks a leg for a cover. One………Two! Stu gets a shoulder up!

AS: Stu getting a shoulder up and my god, Anilya brought her A game here tonight. I haven’t seen her this fired up in forever.

MG: It seems that maybe even Stu didn’t expect it judging from the way he’s down on his back at the moment.

Anilya pulls Stu to a sitting position and nails some stiff kicks to his chest and back before she nails a spinning kick to his jaw. Stu stumbles back and toward the ropes. He pulls himself up to his feet and Anilya stays on him with some shots. She backs up a few steps and goes for a heel kick to Stu’s chest, but he ducks it. She turns and he nails a stiff uppercut shot to her jaw that sends her back against the ropes. He springs into action looking for a Price Tag, but Anilya ducks it and spins Stu around. In a flash, Stu jumps up, grabs her and plants her face first into the mat with a Stun Cutter from literally out of nowhere! He rolls her over and hooks a leg. One……………Two……………Three!

TL: Here is your winner, STU-E PRICE!


As her match finished, Anilya is standing in the ring furious over the decision the referee made. She walks over to him and begins shouting in his face, then lands a hard punch at his face, then shoves him out of the ring.

Price (Out of breath): I never expected her to... turn on the referee on the match. I'll be back in a bit.

Strong: YO, STINKY! Take a damn shower, then continue your commentary.

"Welcome to the Family" by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play as the Red Dragons walk out from the back. They reach the ring and look at Anilya who stares at them, trying to calm down. They begin to surround Anilya and Deflar performs a motion, which causes Rich to attack her. Deflar motions for the other two to attack her, then he leaves the ring and grabs various weapons. He places them in the ring and each member of the Red Dragons grab different styles and begin to unleash assaults on her. Deflar orders them to move out of the way, then orders Rich to pick Anilya up by her hair. As Anilya is forced to her feet, Deflar uses a barbed wire bat on her face, and begins to slice it, making her bleed, taking small chunks of skin as well. He makes a nod and Rich grabs her left arm and begins pulling backwards. Shortly after, the sound of a bone snapping and Anilya screaming is heard as the crowd, who was booing the attack, goes silent.

Strong: What the hell are they doing?! SECURITY, GET OUT HERE!

Rich grabs her right arm and does the same, the sound of bone snapping is heard once again as Anilya continues to scream and cry as her arms are now broken. Rich slams her down to the ground and Tank, with a sledgehammer in hand, sends it down, without his hand protecting the hammer part, onto Anilya's left forearm, and she begins to scream louder as Tank does the same to her right forearm. Alimus walks to her legs and uses a chair and repeatedly assaults her legs. Deflar grabs a brass knuckle and puts it on his right knuckle and then lifts Anilya's head. He mutters a curse at her, then hits her hard in the face, and her screaming stops. Security and police arrive and restrain the Red Dragons, and escort them out in handcuffs. Shortly after, a woman's laugh is heard.

Woman's Voice: The war between Anilya and Simon Sensation is over. While the victory, by all appearances, goes to the Syn City Syndicate, it goes to the Red Dragons, for they had the power and opportunities to end the war from the start. Ms. Anilya didn't know what she was thinking when she asked Deflar to aid her. This was my plan from the start. No one can order the Red Dragons around, not even me for I merely guide them. Simon, if you saw this, then be glad the Red Dragons did you a service.

Backstage staff run out and check on Anilya, who lies motionless in the ring, bleeding. Price runs out, still in his wrestling attire and slides into the ring to check on his former opponent. The staff motion for a stretcher as the camera shows the crowd silent and concerned, some with their hands over their mouths. Price helps the staff carefully move Anilya to the stretcher and immediately apply bandages to stop the bleeding, then rush to the back of the place to get Anilya to the nearest hospital. Shortly after, Price leaves the ring and returns to the back, now covered in some blood, shaking his head over the attack that had just occurred.

Strong: While I applaud the Red Dragons for finally taking out that loud mouth of a woman, I dont' applaud what they did to do so. While I've no love for the woman, I don't like seeing people get blatently injured or nearly killed. I just hope that she can recover from this. Don't get me wrong, ladies and gents, I dont like her, but we all know there's a limit to how much we can hate someone who busts their ass in the ring.

The backstage staff come out from the back and quickly begin to clean up Anilya's blood as Traci Loveheart stands outside the ring, fighting the fear that has began to take hold of her. The staff clean up much of the blood and leave the ring as Traci enters the ring, grabbing her mouth, trying to keep the fear in check.



In the back, Lucas Sensation is standing by with Simon Sensation.

Simon: Hope you enjoy your match with Terry, Luke.

Lucas glares at Simon and shakes his head.

Lucas: You know what, you weasely son of a bitch, I will. I know you made this match hoping that your “boy” Terry would hurt me, but you know what, nothing’s gonna happen. You’re still going to be my bitch after this match just like you are now.

Simon bites his lip at this and then shakes his head.

Simon: Come on, I can’t believe you’re going through with this. You know I wouldn’t have released you if you lost to me…..

Lucas cackles with laughter.

Lucas: That’s bullshit, man. You know it is. You made that match at Wrevolution because you wanted me gone, but I’m still here and that’s not going to chance after this match against Terry. I know that I’ve been making you open doors for me and get me water since I beat you two weeks ago but that’s going to change next week.

Simon raises an eyebrow.

Simon: Why? What are you doing?

Lucas chuckles and then pokes Simon in the chest.

Lucas: It’s what you’re doing. I’ve put through a contract for a match next Meltdown that will pit you and I against the team of DJ Clay and Adam Linn that you WILL sign. I know you don’t want to team with me and the feeling is mutual, I can tell you that much. But this is a warm up of sorts.

Simon seems even more confused.

Simon: Wait, back up, a warm up?

Lucas nods.

Lucas: Yeah, you know the little Meltdown: Final Clash 2010 show to close out the year for us? How you’re having a lethal lottery tournament with teams drawn at random facing off against each other all night and advancing to a battle royal in the main event? Well all of the teams are going to be chosen at random, but I made an exception for myself. I entered you and me as a team into that event. The first team in to be exact.

Simon seems to take a deep breath as he places both of his hands over his face out of frustration.

Lucas: Hey, don’t worry. It just so happens that Final Clash 2010 will also be your last night as my bitch. But until then, I hope you’re ready for a wild ride because I plan on making you eat the words that you’ve been spewing out from behind those cronies of yours in the Syndicate lately. Just sit back and watch…….I told you I’d take down the Syndicate. I took down you and rendered you powerless and tonight, in just a minute…….I will take down Terry Marvin, your golden boy.

He smirks and laughs.

Lucas: Don’t forget to be watching on the monitor, Si. It’s going to seem like déjà vu, Wrevolution all over again for you………..

With that, he walks off and Simon is fuming as he shakes his head.

[Simon]

TL: The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, on his way to the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada……”The Real Show” Terry Marvin!

“Raise Up” hits and Terry Marvin makes his way out from the back to boos from the fans as he saunters to the ring and climbs in, looking around and shaking his head.

SP: Terry feels cheated by what happened at Wrevolution, I’m sure and I think he’s looking to take it out on his opponent here tonight.

AS: I would! He pinned Bryan Deas! He had Deas pinned before Shadow pinned Dillon, I think. If anyone should have walked out of that Chaos Chamber with the gold, it’s got to be him. Why nothing has been done to right that wrong is beyond me.

TL: And his opponent, from Kilgore, Texas…….”The Real Deal” Lucas Sensation!

“Burn it to the Ground” plays and Lucas walks out from the back to cheers as he slaps hands and grins wildly as he pauses at the ringside area and gazes at Terry before he slides into the ring.

SP: Talk about a wild night, Wrevolution proved to be the biggest night of Lucas’ career as he beat Simon Sensation to not only save his career, but make Simon his “bitch” as he puts it.

AS: What we saw to open the show was disgusting, I hope Terry kicks his ass. I know T-Marv and Simon have a history with each other, so I suspect that may be a reason for this match being made.

Lucas gets into his corner and the bell rings. Terry charges in and nails shots to Lucas in a flurry before he backs Lucas against the corner and shoots him across the ring. Lucas stumbles into the middle of the ring and Terry lifts him up with a back body drop. Lucas gets up holding his lower back and Terry nails a running knee to his skull. Lucas stumbles back and Terry ends up reeling him in for a fisherman’s suplex. One……….Two! Lucas kicks out. Terry backs up and waits for him to get up before he comes at him, but Lucas sweeps his legs out from under him and gets him on his back to nail some punches from the side. He allows Terry to start to get up, then he springs off the ropes and nails a flying shoulder tackle on him. Terry goes down and Lucas gets up and nails another running flying shoulder tackle to him. This time when Terry gets up, he nails a scoop slam on him and gets on him for a cover. One………Two! Terry kicks out.

SP: Simple but effective offense from Lucas and it’s got him a two count.

AS: And that’s all he’ll get, Stu. There’s no way I see Terry losing this match to Lucas. None.

Lucas pulls Terry up and pops him back with a snap suplex. He hangs on and then gets up to nail another one to lay Terry out on the mat before he lets go and then climbs up to the middle rope. He looks down at Terry for a few seconds, then comes off the middle rope with a leg drop on Terry, who moves right before Lucas lands. Terry gets to his feet and staggers into the ropes. Lucas’ eyes are wide as he’s sitting down on the canvas., holding his lower back. Terry then comes at Lucas and nails a running knee strike to the face. Lucas falls to the mat, then rolls over to the ropes and starts to try and pull himself up. Terry stays on him with kicks and shots to the back. As Lucas reaches his feet, terry grabs him by the head and pulls him into the middle of the ring, He nails some stiff uppercuts to Lucas, then reels him in and nails a side effect. Lucas bounces off the mat and Terry rolls him over for a cover. One……..Two……NO! Lucas shoots a shoulder up and Terry looks in shock at the referee.

SP: I don’t think Terry can believe Lucas kicked out there and neither can I. It certainly seems that Lucas is a lot more confident in that ring and putting up more of a fight than we all expected.

AS: I don’t know, I

Terry pulls Lucas up and then sends him into the corner. He rushes in after him, but Lucas gets a foot up and sends Terry stumbling back. Terry holds on to his jaw for a moment, then comes back at Lucas and gets caught with a power slam. Lucas gets up to his feet, then grins as he looks down at Terry. He springs off the ropes and drops a knee across his skull before he hooks a leg. One………Two………NO! Terry kicks out. Lucas seems to be a bit surprised by this and picks Terry up. He makes a twirling motion with his finger, then whips him into the ropes and goes for his Sensation Drop, but Terry manages to grab him by the head and reverse it into a tornado DDT. Lucas gets spiked down into the mat and both men are down. The ref starts a ten count. One……….Two………..Three!

SP: The ref is starting to count and both men are down here. Unless one of them makes it up, we could have a draw.

AS: God, imagine Terry is he draws to Lucas here? After the verbal thrashing he gave Simon earlier today, he’d be livid.

Four………..Five…………Six……….Seven! Lucas manages to move and starts to get up. Eight………..Nine…………Lucas is up and as Terry starts to make it up, he closes in and goes for a belly to back suplex on him, but Terry floats over and lands on his feet. He turns Lucas around and then goes for his Whiplash underhook DDT. Lucas manages to twist out of it and pulls Terry in for a short arm lariat. Terry ducks and Lucas stumbles forward. As he does so, Terry kicks him in the gut and nails his Whiplash DDT, much to the dismay of the fans. He gets on Lucas and make the cover. One…………….Two……………..Three!

TL: Here is your winner, TERRY MARVIN!

SP: And Marvin picks up the win in convincing fashion and I mean convincing. That end came from out of nowhere.

AS: Admit it, that man should be our Southwestern Heavyweight Champion, Stu. The fact that he don’t have the belt is a travesty. It’s as much his as it is Shadow’s and I think everyone knows it.






TL: The following contest is your main event and it is a first round match in the RoP Tag Team Championship tournament. Introducing first……the team of DJ Clay and Adam Linn, Linn Incorporated!

The music begins as Linn and Clay walk down the ramp behind gargoyle wrapped shades and in their Sudberlin Maskulin leather coats. Linn's hair is slicked back in a ponytail and Clay's hair is up in a jersey shore blow out. They walk down to the beat of the song acknowledging only ring and the mission at hand. They slide in and hit each corner playing to the fans getting ready for war.

SP: DJ Clay and Adam Linn are teaming for the first time here, but this has been building for a while.

AS: We’ve seen Linn in the stands before, watching on as Clay wrestled but we never knew what was going on. It seems like they had this planned all along or something to come in as a unit to RoP and I’d say the pickings in the tag division may be ripe for them.

TL: And their opponents………they are the Southwestern Heavyweight Champion Shadow and Paige……..The Children of the Night!

"Evolution" comes across the P.A. system and Shadow and Paige walk out to the stage and stop. They look over the crowd and start to head down to the ring. They climb into the ring and walk over to their corner. Paige drops her title in the corner, as Shadow slumps down into the corner, while they await their opponents.

SP: These two have had several shots at the tag titles before but never came out with the gold. This time, I think things may be different for these two. Their fortunes seemed to have changed.

AS: Just because Shadow has a title that he has no claim to and Paige won a multiman fuckall to get a shot at the second tier title? It’ll take more than that to impress me……..

The bell rings and Paige starts the match against Linn. The two lock up and Linn uses his size to get Paige into a corner, where he nails some chops to her, then some shoulder thrusts before he lets her stumble out of the corner, which allows him to nail a bulldog on her. He applies a front facelock on her, then backs into his corner and allows Clay to tag in. Clay comes in and nails some shots to Paine’s midsection before he backs her against the ropes and sends her across the ring. He drop toe holds her, then floats over with a side headlock. She gets to a knee, then up to her feet and nails some shots to his kidney area before she sends him into the ropes. He’s too wise for it and grabs the ropes to stop himself from going back at her, but she comes at him. He raises his legs to try and kick her, but she catches his feet and then swings it so that they go out of the ring via between the middle and top ropes. Clay leans back because of this and Paige drops an elbow across his neck. She pulls him away from the ropes, keeps a hold of his arm and tags in Shadow.

SP: We’re getting our first look at the new champ here.

AS: The fluke champion is more like it………

Shadow drops a knee across Clay’s arm, then grabs him by the hand and holds his arm up as he kicks viciously at his ribs and shoulder. Clay yells as he grabs at his arm and shoulder. When Shadow lets go, he tries to crawl into his corner to tag in Linn, but Shadow grabs him by the back of the head and pulls him to his feet. He sends Clay front first into the corner turnbuckle, then comes at him and leaps up to nail a back cracker on him. Clay bounces off the mat and Shadow rolls him over for a cover. One……….Two! Linn breaks it up!

SP: Adam Linn may have just saved the match for his team.

AS: It’s not even a question of “if”. I think Clay would have been down and out for the count there……

The referee goes to force Linn out of the ring and as he does so, Shadow exit’s the ring and Paige comes in without a tag even. She pulls Clay up in the corner and nails some big shots to his jaw that rock him. Clay stumbles out of the corner and Paige lifts him up to drop him down over her knee with an atomic drop. Clay’s face tells the story of the pain he’s in, but he still tries to get to his corner to tag in Linn. The fans clap, trying to will him on, but Paige kicks him over, then plants stomp after stomp into his chest. He holds onto it and tries his best to get up. Paige cuts him off with a knee to the gut, then throws him shoulder first into the turnbuckle. The fans boo and she pulls Clay out and then plants him with a reverse DDT. She gets on him and goes for the cover. One………Two! Linn breaks it up again and this time pulls her to her feet and nails some punches to her. She stumbles back and as Linn is forced to the outside once more, Shadow comes into the ring and starts to pull Clay to his feet. But out of nowhere, The Guido nails a fireman’s carry on him, then follows up with a reverse chinlock. The crowd roars their approval for this.

SP: Clay trying to fight back here and that’s the only thing he can do. He’s too far from Linn to tag and Shadow may very well be too fresh.

AS: Shadow is a cheating asshole. He cheated Terry out of the Southwestern Heavyweight title and now him and Paige are cheating here in this match, when does it end with this fucker, when?

Clay keeps the hold locked on Shadow, who battles to his feet but Clay locks in a side headlock, then pulls Shadow over and down to the mat with a takedown. He does let up on him, though and gets to his feet. As Shadow sits up, Clay nails a running kick to the jaw, then goes to tag in Linn. He’s inches away from him when Shadow grabs his leg and pulls Clay to his feet. Clay struggles for a few seconds, then turns and leaps up with a kick to the side of Shadow’s head. Shadow falls to the mat and Clay leaps in his corner to tag in Linn to cheers from the fans and a slight “Linn” chant. Adam comes into the ring with a flurry of shots to Shadow, then pulls him up and nails a fall away slam. Paige comes into the ring and Linn catches her with a samoan drop. Shadow is back up and Linn nails an atomic drop on him, then he springs off the ropes and hit’s a bulldog on him. The fans are going ape shit as Linn gets to his feet.

SP: The Thug Playboy……The Omaha Hitman……..Linn………whatever you wanna call him, he’s taking names and kicking ass here.

AS: I’ve never seen Linn this fired up and rowdy before and I’ve seen his stuff from everywhere he’s been, Stu. He’s feeling it. He’s feeling this win, he’s feeling the gold around his waist already!

Linn waits for Shadow to get up. As he does, Linn slaps him in the face and calls him a son of a bitch before he reels him in and nails a snap brain buster on him. Shadow is laid out as he covers him and hooks a leg. One……….Two! No! Paige is in to break up the count! Linn gets to his feet and begins duking it out with her much to the delight of the fans before Shadow comes up behind him and nails a low blow. Linn’s eyes are wide as he stumbles forward, but then he turns around and glares at Shadow.

SP: Linn looks pissed off that Shadow would even go that route more than anything!

AS: He’s got balls of steel, Stu and Shadow’s about to regret what he just did!

Linn grabs Shadow and nails some clubbing shots to him before he fires him into his corner and tags in Clay. The two nail some stereo kicks to Shadow’s gut, then Clay pulls the champ out of the corner and nails a belly to belly side suplex on him. Shadow hit’s the mat hard and Clay hooks a leg for a cover. One………Two! He sees Paige coming in and moves so that when she drops an elbow looking to break up the pin, she lands on Shadow. He slaps her as she gets up, then turns her around and pops her back with a german suplex. He hangs on, gets up and then brings her back again. The fans applaud this and Clay lets go.

SP: Linn owned the ring for a few minutes and now Clay has gotten into a groove here. Linn Incorporated is just pwning left and right!

AS: You’d have never guessed we haven’t seen these two in an RoP ring teaming before, would you?

Clay turns and as he does so, Shadow comes at him with a clothesline. Clay ducks and Shadow turns just as Clay goes to grab him for a suplex. Shadow blocks it, rolls to the side of Clay, then nails a Russian legsweep on him. Clay gets up and Shadow sizes him up as he goes for a running dropkick to his jaw. Clay dodges it and gets behind Shadow as he gets up. He goes for a german suplex, but Shadow brings them into the ropes and just so happens to connect with Linn as he does so. Adam falls to the floor and as he does so, Paige charges him and spears him down. Clay sees this and lets go of Shadow, but just as he does so, Shadow pulls him and connects with a Shaded. Clay is down as Shadow makes a cover. One………Two………Three!

TL: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners and advancing to the second round of the RoP Tag Team Title tournament…….SHADOW AND PAIGE…….CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT!

SP: He did it! They did it! Shadow and Paige have both managed to come one step closer to holding singles gold and possibly tag gold. My god. These two could control all the titles in the company. That’s a scary thought.

AS: Paige hasn’t won the Texas Television title yet, but these two have taken one more step toward dominance here and you know what? I don’t like it one fucking bit.

Just as he says this, the lights go out. The fans are loud in protest to this though we see camera flashes in the dark.

SP: What’s this?

AS: Damned if I know. I think this may have something to do with………….PAIGE?!?

Just as the lights come on, we see that Shadow is the only one standing in the ring when Paige has been climbing in just as the lights went out. Shadow looks around, concerned now as he don’t seem to know what’s going on.

SP: Shadow looks just as confused as we are, Artie. Paige was here one moment and gone the next!

Shadow walks around the ring, looking around on the outside of it with a befuddled look.

AS: Oh no, could this have something to do with what’s been going on and how Paige has been stalked?

SP: We know JC got taken out earlier by whomever it is, could they have taken her? Did they just get impatient of her not responding to them much?

AS: I don’t know what happened folks, but we’ll find out in two weeks hopefully! We’ll see you then!

And with the image of the Southwestern Heavyweight Champion looking around with his hands on his hips in apparent confusion and frustration, the show fades to black.
