AWA Last Man Standing, October 27th, 2002 at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY.

Frank: Welcome to Last Man Standing!

Herb: Tonight we have one hell of a card for you folks!

Frank: Let's take a look at the lineup! AWA World Championship AWA Original Last Man Standing Match: Cage #1 Drake Hyde & Hangman. Cage #2 Dave Santini & Ray Owens. Two rings, two cages, four people. Each pair of opponents will battle it out in their seperate cage until a winner is declared from both pairs via pin-fall, submission, TKO. The winner from each pair will then face each other in a Last Man Standing match right then and there as soon as the cages are lifted. Only one rule, be the last man standing to win.

Four Way Iron Man Match: CarnEvil vs. Jack Happy vs. Dark Warrior vs. C-Rock Four men, one hour, most wins, via pinfall, submission, or TKO wins the match.

AWA Hardcore Championship Barbed Wire, Glass House, Exploding Tables Match: Snake vs. Skorp vs. Jason Dillucca vs. Will Scott vs. Stevie Williams vs. Jackie Sweet vs. Snakebite. This match is absolutely insane! The ropes will be removed, barbed wire in their place. A glass cage will enclose the ring, and C-4 explosives will be strapped to approzimately 50 tables outside of the glass cage. To eliminate an opponent, first you've got to get past the barbed wire, break through the glass cage, and put them THROUGH a C-4 equipt table. Who ever is still breathing, and hasn't been put through a table will be the new AWA Hardcore Chamion.

Tag Team Tables, Ladders And Chairs Match: Twiztid Kindred vs. Blonde Bombshells vs. Dirty Deeds vs. The Hoodlumz vs. The Paramedics. An Easy enough concept to grasp. Winner will gain placement in the upcomming tag team tournament to crown the new AWA Tag Team Champions. What placement are they fighting for exactly, well that has yet to be revealed.

AWA Television Championship Masquerade Match: Quade deSade vs. Kydd X vs. Mickey Showery vs. Renegade vs. Caleb vs. Jeff Sullivan vs. Buck Smith. Six contenders will be dressed in costumes, none knowing which is which. All will be dressed in seperate rooms, and none will know their costume until they are in it. They will all wrestle without friends, foes, or allies, just strangers standing in their way of achieving the AWA Television Championship belt.

Welcome To The AWA Match: Ms. Salley Davies vs. Lethal Louise w/Special Ref: Girl!!

Herb: Tat's right and our first match is about to get underway!

Frank: This is gonna be one helluva night, I can see that already!

Sally Davies is already in the ring, pacing from corner to corner when Lethal Louise's music begins to play.
Lousie stomps down the ramp towards the ring in-time to 'That Don't impress me Much'. a few steps from the apron Lethal Louise bursts into a charge and slides in under the bottom rope.
Lousie and Sally lock up and the referee signals for the bell to begin the match.
both Sally and Louise duke it out exchanging face slaps.
Sally is is knocked back into the ropes and comes right back grabbing at Lousies hair.
Both women drop to their knees as a hair tug O' war begins.
The ref drops to a knee a shouts a warning to both ladies... when non other than Disco Duck suddenly bolts from over the security barrier at ringside.
Quickly climbing the turnbuckle Dico Duck leaps from the top and lands an elbow drop that scatters the referee, Sally and Louise!! Sally regains her feet. Louise pulls herself by the ropes. Louise is sent over the ropes by a clothesline from Disco Duck. Disco duck is jumped from behind by Sally, the momentum throwing both Sally and Disco Duck over the rope onto Lethal Louis!!

Frank: OH MY GOD!

Herb: The Disco One is clearing the ring!!!

A three way brawl erupts as the referee regains his senses and begins to count 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. All three seem oblivious to the referees ultimatum and his count is drowned out by the ever increasing shouts and encouragement from the fans at ringside.
5.. 6.. 7..
Disco Duck begins to pull free but is pulled back into the melee by Lousie and Sally.
8.. 9..
Sally and Louise rise and charge each other knocking each other flat with simultaneous clotheslines.
10
The referee calls for the bell to end the match and all three look up...

Referee:'No Contest'!!!

Enraged Sally and Lousie get back at it, and security is called to ringside to break it up.
Somewhere in the struggle is Disco Duck.

Frank: Well the next match should be...umm..."interesting."

Herb: It sure should!

The seven participants walk towards the ring, identities obscured by their various costumes. The
first man wears a “Jason” style hockey mask, and a Canadians jersey. The second wears an Eminem costume,
complete with Marshall Mathers mask. The third wears a pair of boxing trunks and a Mike Tyson mask. The
fourth costumed man has an “old school” Undertaker costume, complete with the early-90s version
Undertaker mask. The fifth is costumed as a clown with a full facemask, and the six is in a Spiderman
costume, and the seventh in a cowboy outfit, complete with a bandanna over his face.

The bell sounds, and the men sit around for a moment, trying to figure out who to go after. Finally, the
man in the Mike Tyson mask starts to pummel on the hockey player, and all hell breaks loose. Eminem
squares off with the Undertaker, and Spiderman and the clown go after the cowboy. Punches and kicks begin to fly as the match gets underway. The cowboy hits a hard shot against Spiderman, sending him back, but the
clown pulls down the bandanna, revealing the face of Buck Smith. Smith responds to this with a hard
clothesline to the clown’s face, but receives a dropkick in the back of the head from Spiderman.

Meanwhile, Tyson and the Hockey Player square off, trading stiff blows. The Hockey player initially
lands a solid headbutt, but Tyson counters with a strong blow to his chin, knocking up the mask a bit,
revealing the face of Renegade.

Meanwhile, the rest of the wrestlers circle around Smith, like sharks drawn to blood. They assault him,
landing punches and kicks, and even though Smith fights back valiantly, he is soon overwhelmed by the
rest. The Clown and Spiderman hold him down and the Undertaker climbs the rope. The Undertaker hits a
solid elbow drop, and goes for the pin. A close two count, but then Smith kicks out, powering the
Undertaker clone off of him and sending him into Spiderman, who starts to kick him in the stomach.
Smith goes turns around and goes for his “Bruise Control” on the nearest man, who happens to be the
clown, but the clown blocks the move, and hits a hard shot to the groin. He follows it up with the
Cottonmouth.

HERB: Well, ladies and gentlemen, we now have the identities of three of our wrestlers revealed…

Caleb rips off his mask, and he quickly pins Smith. The Undertaker clone and Spiderman stop fighting for a
moment, and jump on Smith, and the referee counts the 1,2,3. They then turn and nail Caleb hard...and pin him aswell!

HERB: Smith’s out! Caleb's out! Oh my!

As Smith and Caleb roll out of the ring, the fight gets more and more intense between Renegade and Tyson. Tyson lands a stiff shot to his face, and follows up with a one-two combination which dizzies Renegade, but when he goes for the European Uppercut to finish off the combo, Renegade ducks and tackles him. Renegade picks him back up, and delivers a scoop slam followed by a quick legdrop. Tyson grabs Renegade’s leg as soon as he stands up, and pulls him back down, and then rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair. He drives the chair into the knee of Renegade, and follows up with a Figure Four. As he writhes in pain, the Undertaker walks runs over and holds his shoulders down, earning another three count.

FRANK: There goes Renegade!

Renegade slowly rolls out of the ring as Quade grabs the chair, and begins to attack the man in
the Tyson costume. He pulls off the mask, revealing Mickey Showery, and delivers five well-placed shots to
his head, and blood begins to drip down. A final shot is delivered to his head and Showery falls.

At this point, the man dressed as Eminem decides to get involved with the action, and goes after
Spiderman, and picks him up to deliver a DDT. Not ones to miss an opportunity, the Clown and Undertaker
join in, delivering a variety of shots, culminating in a three man Double Powerbomb/Ace Crusher combo, and do a three man pin. The Spiderman rolls out, and his mask is ripped off to reveal Jeff Sullivan.

HERB: Three men remain. With Jeff Sullivan, Renegade, Buck Smith, and Caleb out, the men remaining must be Desade, Showery, and Kydd X!

The three men circle each other, but the real action goes on outside and DeSade and Showery continue to
fight each other. They trade wicked chair shots. They begin to get involved with the third man and nail him with several hard chair shots. They do a double pin, and do to the Undertaker’s superior size, he is utterly unable to kick out. His mask is ripped off to reveal Kydd X!

FRANK: It was Kydd X! The men left are Showery and Desade!

The two men stare at each other. Suddenly, Desade whips Showery into the corner, and signals with his hand. He runs in and nails him with a hard splash...and goes for the pin. 1…2…3!

HERB: Quade wins!!

“Sadness” plays, and the champ slides out of the
ring and out through the exit.

AWA Tag Team Match

I'm really sorry for this guys but some card writers bailed and i tried to cover as much as i could but i couldn't do it all. This was one of the matches i just couldn't write in time.

Basically Twizted Kindred gets taken out early on. The Paramedics and Dirty Deeds battle it out in a hilacious fight...which in the end knocks out both teams! Blond Bombshells win by getting the best of Hoodlumz. Again I'm really sorry for this.

Frank: Well now onto the long awaited AWA Hardcore Championship Barbed Wire, Glass House, Exploding Tables Match.

Herb: Wow, that's sure as hell a tongue twister.

Frank: Yes, well I can tell you more than a tongue is gonna be twisted in this match! Basically this kind of match is unheard of in the AWA. The rules are simple...the ropes will be replaced with barbed wire! A glass cage will enclose the ring, and C-4 explosives will be strapped to about a total of 50 tables outside of the glass cage. To eliminate an opponent, first you've got to get past the barbed wire, break through the glass cage, and put them THROUGH a C-4 equipt table. Who ever is still alive after that is crowned Hardcore Champ!

Herb: That's correct Frank. And now only are those the rules but we have 7 competitors!!! Snake, Skorp, Jason Dillucca, Will Scott, Stevie Williams, Jackie Sweet, and Snakebite! This is gonna be hell!!

With that we look at the ring. The AWA staff quickly runs around stripping the ring of the ropes and replacing them with barbed wire. After they're done Snake begins to make his way down ringside. He walks unto the ring and looks at what awaits him. Hayabusa's Theme Music: Fallen Angel hits as Skorp makes his way ringside. He jumps into the ring and stares down Snake. Will Scott, Stevie Williams, and Jackie Sweets all rush the ring in a large mob. "Back in the Saddle" hits as Snakebite runs down to join in the melee. By now all the men are going at it and the glass cage is being lowered. The AWA technitions are setting up all the tables. "Trust by Megadeth" hits as Jason Dillucca runs down and slides into the ring before the glass cage hits the ground. The cage is down and all the men are going at it inside the ring. The officials have finished setting up the tables and now the ring is completely surrounded by these C4 tables! Will Scott And Stevie Williams are brawling it out. Scott nails Williams with a hard powerbomb. He begins to taunt when out of no where Snake comes in and clotheslines him to the ground. Jackie Sweet then begins to mix it up with Snake. They trade rights and lefts. Williams gets back to his feet and runs at both Jackie Sweets and Snake. They duck and double back drop Williams! Scott gets up and picks up Williams. Snake and Sweets look at each other and run at the Williams and Scott. They clothesline both of them. Sweets and Snake pick Scott up and throw him right into the glass cage. The cage cracks and Scott falls back landing on the barbed wire. Williams gets picked up by Sweets, who places Williams onto the shoulders of Snake. Snake runs at the cage and powerbombs Williams through the glass cage onto a C4 table!! The explosion is heard as Williams immediately stops moving. Snake is stunned that he did such a thing with just a powerbomb. Sweets takes advantage of this and begins to attack Snake from behind. On the other side of the ring Skorp, Jason Dillucca and Snakebite have been battling each other. The three have just been wearing each other down with vicious rights and lefts.

Herb: Sweet Jebus!

Frank:....

Sweets continues to pound Snake. Scott is knocked out cold, just laying there on the barbed wire. Sweets picks Snake up and places him on his shoulders in a powerslam position. He points towards the hole that was made earlier that took Williams out of the match. He runs at the hold, throwing Snake out and onto a table. But Snake splides off his shoulders and pushes Sweets forward sending him through the hole and onto and table. Again a large explosion is heard and Sweets lays there occasionally shaking. Snake begins to smile and walks over to the downed Scott. He runs at the same hole with Scott in hand and attempts to throw him through the hole, but Scott blocks. He dilevers a few shots to Snakes guts. He then attempts to irish whip Snake into the barbed wire but Snake blocks. The two men trade rights and grab onto each other. They both try to throw the other out of the glass cage at the same time and they end up throwing each other against the cracked part of the cage. The glass shatters and both men go through the same table. For the third time the echo of an exploding C4 is heard.

Frank: Oh my god!! This is criminal! We're not even 10 minutes into this match and 4 of the competitors have already been eliminated!!

Herb: That's right! Now it's down to Skorp, Jason Dillucca, and Snakebite! This is crazy!

Jason Dillucca seems to land a few kicks into the gut of Snakebite but it doesn't take long for Skorp to run in and toss both men aside. Dillucca runs into Skorp and he picks Dillucca up. He then nails Dillucca with a HUGE tombstone piledriver! Snakebite is up and delivers a few hard forearm shots to the back of Skorp. Dillucca rises and along with Snakebite they manage to take Skorp down. The alliance doesn't last long though as Dillucca gets attacked by Snakebite. Snakebite begins to pound on Dillucca. He stands and awaits Dillucca's inevitable retaliation. As Dillucca rises however Snakebite nails him with a kick to the kneecap, then one to the ribs and a third to the face!! Snakebitten!!! Dillucca's face pretty much loses color as he falls to the floor. Skorp is up by now and takes Snakebite by suprise. He lifts Snakebite up for an atomic drop but instead runs forward and tosses Snakebite onto the barbed wire. Snakebite screams in pain as Skorp begins to rock the barbed wire, cutting into Snakebite's skin. Skorp can't hold the barbed wire for long however and as he releases his hands begin to gush out blood. Skorp cringes in pain. He picks Snakebite up from the barbed wire and suplex's him. As Skorp rises to his feet he gets chop blocked from behind by Dillucca. Skorp falls and Dillucca rises to his feet. He staggers around a bit, still woosy from the kicks of Snakebite. He begins to stomp away at Skorp. He picks Skorp up and Skorp low blows him. The crowd begins to boo. Skorp picks Dillucca up and places him in the position for the Eliminator! He runs forwards and jumps but out of no where Snakebite drop kicks him from behind while he's in mid air! The force of Snakebite's dropkick coupled with his jump sends Skorp right through the glass cage and through a table!! BAAAAM! Another explosion. Skorp screams and squirms around for a few seconds before passing out.

Frank: That's gotta hurt!

Herb: I can't even imagine what that must feel like.

Frank: Well we're down to two now. Either Snakebite or Dillucca, one of them is walking out of this arena with the Hardcore Championship, and the other with a broken body and a trip to the hospital emergency room!

Snakebite slowly rises to his feet. Dillucca does the same, he doesn't seem much effected by Skorp's Eliminator as the full force didn't really impact him. Snakebite runs at Dillucca who nails him with a drop toe hold. Snakebite gets hung up on the barbed wire and it cuts into his throat! He drops to the ground flopping around holding his neck. He looks like he's attempting to scream but he can't. The blood continues to pour out of his throat and into his hands. Dillucca picks Snakebite up and rams his head into the glass cage. Snakebite stumbles back and catches a back body drop from Dillucca. Dillucca gets up and awaits Snakebites rise. As he gets up he gets a Heart Puch from Dillucca!!! Snakebite stumbles backs and leans over the barbed wire. Dillucca runs at him and nails him with a powerful clothesline over the barbed wire through a hole made prior to the match. Both men however go through the hole! Dillucca grabs onto the glass which slices into his palms. Snakebite lands on a table but doesn't go through. Dillucca steps onto the glass and Snakebite slowly rises to his feet, standing on the table! Dillucca dives and nail Snakebite with a vicious DDT running lariat putting Snakebite through the table. The C4 explodes on both men!

Frank: OH MY GOD! They both went through!!! Who's the winner?

Herb: Just a minute....yes the officials have decided since Dillucca put Snakebite through the table he won the match.

Frank: What a hell of a battle. That was absolutely amazing! HS - Right then folks, let get right onto our next match here tonight at LAST MAN STANDING...
FJ - That's right...and if everyone out there thought that a wrestling ring wasn't big enough to hold the two clowns of the AWA at the same time...Jack Happy and CarnEvil
HS - ...President Gray has just decided to throw two former AWA US Champions into the mix as well in C-Rock and the returning...DARK WARRIOR !!
FJ - ...and on top of that he's put CarnEvil's US Title on the line here tonight as well
HS - HE'S DONE WHAT ? WOO-HOOOOOO

(The commentary between Herb and Frank are drowned out, as C-Rock acknowledges the crowd as he makes his way towards the ring...He is shortly followed by the current AWA Intercontinental Champion, Mr.Jack Happy, who makes his way ringside to a chorus of cheers and applause. As soon as Happy reaches the ring, the crowd fall into silence and then errupt into huge heat and booing for the returning Dark Warrior, as Dark Warrior is halfway to the ring, he hears the name of the current AWA US Champion announced and as soon as CarnEvil appearsto the sound of "Summer Overture", DW turns in his direction and they clash hammering each other with lefts and rights. The refs attention turns back to the ring, where Happy is about to leave the ring, but upon getting half way through the ropes he is brought back in by C-Rock and whipped to the other side of the ring, Happy rebounds back towards the centre and is met with a hard Clothesline as the ref has no option but to ring the bell and start this Iron Man Match off, as Happy gets to his feet, he is sent crashing back down to the mat with a Suplex and for a third time with a hard DDT...)

FJ - No hesitation from C-Rock at the start of this match
HS - You're not wrong there, he's certainly caught the reigning AWA Intercontinental Champion by suprise

(C-Rock goes for an early pin with CarnEvil and DW still occupied outside the ring, but Happy kicks out on two...C-Rock pulls Happy up again and goes for another Suplex, but he struggles to get Happy over, he tries again but Happy doesn't budge, but instead responds with a Suplex of his own. Happy doesn't let C-Rock get his breath back as Happy pulls him to his feet and delivers a Running Powerslam, Happy takes the opportunity to stomp on his recovering victim a few times, before pulling C-Rock to his feet once more, he twists him round in the first part on his Reverse Neckbreaker as the crowd scream in delight...)

FJ - Happy Daze !!!

(...Before flicking his left leg up behind him and Lowblowing the unsuspecting C-Rock, before perfectly delivering the Happy Daze, he rolls over and pins C-Rock as the Ref counts...1...2...3 !!)

FJ - First blood to Happy...
HS - He might have got the first pinfal, but I think "First Blood" goes to CarnEvil...

(The scene switches to outside the ring, where CarnEvil had just reversed the situation he was in with Dark Warrior slowly gaining the upper-hand, by nearly taking his head off with a huge swing with a chair, DW slumps to the floor as CarnEvil glares towards the ring in the direction of Jack Happy seeing his fiercest of adversaries just gain the first pinfall. The two Clowns look eyes as CarnEvil launches himself into the ring, Happy stomps on him as he enters, but as soon as CarnEvil has battled his way to his feet, they start trading huge lefts and rights...First Happy then CarnEvil, then Happy, then CarnEvil again...each man taking what the other man has to give and responding with more ferocity than the last shot, after a couple of minutes with neither man budging C-Rock staggers to his feet and join the melee...a shot to Happy, then CarnEvil, then Happy again and again, not CarnEvil...and Happy again and again. Both Clowns seems to ignore C-Rocks viscious blows, as they continue to hammer each other with shot after shot, as the crowd seem to count every shot that is delivered...it seems that both Happy and CarnEvil have had enough of C-Rock interference...AND THEY BOTH HIT HIM WITH A DOUBLE-CLOTHESLINE, flipping C-Rock over and towards the turnbuckle, they both glare in the direction of the downed C-Rock before returning their stare to each other and within a few seconds they are back trading lefts and rights, it appears that Jack Happy is finally appearing to get the upper hand, when out of nowhere CarnEvil rocks him with a Standing Sidekick, Happy reels backwards a few steps and CarnEvil follows up with a devastating Clothesline From Hell, Happy hits the mat hard as CarnEvil covers...The ref hits the mat...1...2...kickout...)

HS - Wow, that was close...

(CarnEvil wastes no time and climbs up onto the top rope and waits for Happy, Happy staggers to his feet as the crowd chant his name he looks around the ring looking for CarnEvil, but as he turns round to face him, CarnEvil launches himself towards him with a Toprope Spear and they both hit the mat hard...After nearly a minute recovering, CarnEvil finally drapes an arm over the motionless Jack Happy...The ref hits the man...1...2...3 !!)

HS - One each now to Happy and CarnEvil...

(Suddenly we notice C-Rock climb the other turnbuckle nearest to where Dark Warrior is cut open and staggering to his feet, we see C-Rock come flying off the Toprope with an attempted Elbow Drop, but Dark Warrior just managed to roll out of the way before impact and C-Rock crashes hard, DW ceases his opportunity and wastes no time in raising a groggy C-Rock to his feet and sending him back down to the hard concrete with a Reverse Brainbuster...DW glances towards the ring, where Happy has just hit CarnEvil with a Brainbuster Suplex, he pulls him to his feet and sends him crashing back down with a Death Valley Drop, the view switches to back outside the ring where DW takes the opportunity by scaling the turnbuckle nearest to him and unbeknown to CarnEvil and Jack Happy he comes off...executing a perfect HIGH DEATH ontop of C-Rock, the ref jumps out of the ring, as the bloody DW covers C-Rock as the ref counts...1...2...3 !!)

FJ - OMG...How did Dark Warrior summon up the strength to do that move...
HS - I've no idea, what I do know is that he nearly KILLED C-Rock...
FJ - ...and he's also drawn level in this match in the process !!

(The scene cuts back to the ring, where Happy has just hit CarnEvil with a Happy Daze, the ref dives back into the ring and makes the count...1...2...3)

FJ - Happy's back in front again !!

(DW leaves the motionless C-Rock outside of the ring and joins in the melee between Happy and CarnEvil, all three wrestlers start trading shots back and forth, suddenly Happy is sent into the turnbuckle and CarnEvil connects with DW with a Clothesline From Hell, he goes for a pin, but DW manages to kick out at two, as the ref is completing the count he doesn't notice C-Rock sneak back into the ring and nail Happy across the back of the head with a viscious chair shot, Happy slumps to the mat as C-Rock raises him to his feet and sends him crashing back down with his finiaher...THE REGULATOR !! C-Rock disposes of the chair as the ref makes the count of three as CarnEvil and DW continue to trade blows on the other side of the ring)

(With all four men now in the ring, the camera switches briefly to the huge clock...it shows 4 minutes and 32 seconds left...Happy appears to be finally getting the advantage over C-Rock, he hits him with a Death Valley drop, as on the other side of the ring, DW has just kicked out of an Irish Whip, followed by a Big Boot by CarnEvil, he then attenpts to pick him up in a Gorilla Press Slam, but DW slips out of his grasp and behind him, CarnEvil turns around only to get met with a lowblow, followed by an Inverted DDT...DW seizes the opportunity and locks CarnEvil in a Figure Four Leglock, the look of pain is etched upon the face of CarnEvil, but his refuses to tap out, DW pulls back on the hold, but still CarnEvil shakes his head in defiance, DW glances up towards the big clock, which is now showing under two minutes and finally releases the hold as CarnEvil continues to shake his head, CarnEvil seems to breathe a sigh of relief as DW releases the hold, but DW goes straight back on the offensive again and flips CarnEvil over with a Sharpshooter...DW sits back on the hold as CarnEvil screams out in pain, the camera switches over to Happy and C-Rock, where Jack has just got Slap Happy, Happy sends C-Rock to the mat with an Evenflow DDT...and then begins to set him up in his own version of the Camel Clutch, as Happy pulls back, he begins to stretch C-Rocks face back into a stretch, FORCING HIM TO SMILE...the camera switches back to DW who has been adding more and more pressure to CarnEvil's back...he glances towards the clock as it ticks down to under 30 seconds, he pulls back more and more as CarnEvil gets weaker and weaker and finally with just 18 seconds left on the clock CarnEvil taps...)

HS - That's his second pinfal...Dark Warrior has drawn level
FJ - HANG ON...

(As the crowd's boos add to the atmosphere, the camera switches to where Jack Happy is continuing to add to the pain...and the false smile etched onto the face of C-Rock with his modified Camel Clutch and suddenly with just 6 seconds left on the clock, C-Rock taps out...)

HS - He's tapping...He's tapping...HAPPY'S WON...HAPPY'S WON !!

(As C-Rock taps out, Happy releases the hold and as DW launches himself at Happy and C-Rock in a delayed effort to break the hold, he rolls out of the way...The bell rings to signal the end of the match as Happy grabs his newly won AWA US Title to add to his AWA Intercontinental Title and escapes the ring, avoiding the wrath of a livid Dark Warrior)

Frank: Well now it's onto our Main Event!

Herb: Yea and it's gonna be one hell of a crazy match!

Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, the American Wrestling Alliance is proud to bring you tonight's main event. Introducing in Cage #1 our current AWA World Champion...Drake Hyyyyyyyyyyyde!

Announcer: Ladies and Gentleman...Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuumblllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Frank: Folks keep in mind the rules of this match, 2 cages...winners face off in a Last Man Standing Match!

Cage #1

Frank: Well folks this one is about to get underway! The rules for this Cage match are simple. Beat your opponent and win. An odd twist added to this match is that if Hangman wins the cage match he's already world champ...but he could lose the last man standing match and lose the title!

Herb: HAHA, that would be great. Winning the World Title and Losing it in one night!

Frank: It very well could happen.

Drake and Hyde begin to circle each other, neither of them willing to make the first move. Drake decides to make his first move and stomps forward. Hangman immediately goes into a defensive position but Drake backs off. Hangman smiles and Drake grins in return. Hangman decides to run forward and lunge at Drake with a right. Drake ducks and manages to get to Hangman's back. Hangman turns around but Drake has long been waiting for him. Drake delivers several massive blows to the head of Hangman. Hangman staggers back. Drake goes for another huge right but Hangman blocks and grabs Drake by the throat. He then tosses Drake into the corner turnbuckle. He immediately starts to stomp on Drake. The hard kicks bring Drake down to the ground. He picks Drake up like a child and knees Drake in the gut. Drake yells in pain and bends over. As he does Hangman begins to plant some huge forearm smashes into Drakes exposed back. Once again Drake finds himself on the ground. Hangman picks Drake up again and places him in the turnbuckle. He then begins to ram his elbow into the throat of Drake. After a few shots Drake is coupled over the ropes for support. Hangman lifts Drake off the ropes...backs him up a few inches then rams his head straight into the steel cage. Drake staggers back and collapses onto the ground as the fans begin to erupt into an onslaught of boos. Hangman picks Drake up and places him in the position for a suplex. Drake reverses and nail s Hangman with a small package DDT! The fans cheer, but both Drake and Hangman are out on the ground. Hangman rises to his feet before Drake and starts his assault on Drake once again, this time more angry than before.

Frank: Great strategy by Hangman, keeping Drake down. He's really using his size and strength well.

Herb: Yea, and Drake Hyde isn't looking so hot right now.

Fan behind Announcer table: but Melina does!

Hangman mounts on top of Drake and begins to send a flurry of hard left and rights to Drake's head. Drake is so woozy he can't even defend himself. Hangman stops throwing lefts and just keeps landing right after right. He finally gets off of Drake, who right away grabs his head. Hangman send Drake to the ropes and as Drake comes back nails him with a hard Big boot. He smiles, then runs to the opposite ropes and nails Drake with a leg drop. He goes for the cover. 1...2...kickout! He picks Drake up and piledrives him into the mat. Drake's head bounces off the mat like a rubber ball. Hangman stands up and delivers several sick knee drops to Drake's head. Drake begins to squirm in the ring, throwing his body every which way to help overcome the pain. The fans once again erupt into boos. Hangman takes Drake up to the top rope. Drake slowly makes it there. With both men standing on the top rope Hangman sets Drake up for a top rope powerbomb. He holds the position...then falls backwards and throws Drake up! Drake's head and front body gets rammed right into the steel cage as Hangman's own back gets slammed into the cage aswell. Hangman rises back onto the topturnbuckle and picks Drake up off the part of Cage to which he was hanging onto. Hangman then sets Drake up for a superplex and holds on...then falls back and nails him with a hanging superplex. Drake bounces off the mat hard. He sits up then falls back down.

Frank: Wow, I never expected this match to go this way!

Herb: You're right, it's been mostly Hangman domination!

Frank: What's wrong with Drake?

Herb: I don't know. Maybe he just didn't see this well prepared Hangman coming.

Hangman picks Drake back up and goes for ANOTHER suplex. But somehow Drake spins in mid air and lands back on his feet, still in the suplex position. It seems to have taken Hangman by suprise as in no time Drake has him vertical...he falls back...HYDE LIFE...HYDE LIFE! Hangman grabs his neck in pain as Drake collapses on the ground. After about 15 seconds Drake begins to stir...he manages to get to his feet. He begins to make an ascent to the top of the steel cage. He makes it all the way to the top and Hangman remains down. He jumps off, going for a double stomp onto Hangman's stomach!!! But Hangman pops up and catches Drake in the Souther Comfort!!!!!!!! He uses Drake's top-cage momentum to swing him around and brings him down to the mat hard! Drake stops moving. The referee picks up Drake's arm...it falls...1...the referee then picks up Drake's hand for the second time..it falls again...2...

Frank: This could be the end!!!

Herb: The end of Drake's era...it's gonna end right here right now!

The referee picks up Drake's arm for the third time and lets it fall...it hits the mat again...3...the referee rings the bell! Hangman wins! The referee raises Hangman's arm in victory as the cage raises. Drake remains on the ground completely motionless.

Cage 2

This was the other match that I couldn't get done. Again my sincerest apologies guys. You know I wouldn't do this unless I had no other alternative.

The Raver starts out strong attempting to put Owens away early. The beating really wears Owens down. In the end Owens is able to duck the Rave Grave...and kick Dave in the gut. He dilevers a huge butterfly suplex to a power bomb...pulling the victory out from under Santini.

With the two winners decided, both cages are being lifted up. Owens and the new AWA World Champion Hangman are staring at each other as the fans anticipate the clash of these two AWA legends.

FRANK: Owens is the better technical wrestler, but Hangman is a destructive machine, as we could just see in his demolition of former World Champion Drake Hyde.

HERB: Hangman is also fresher than Owens, as he was well prepared for his match and there was very little offense against him.

FRANK: Seems like Drake Hyde wasn't as pressure driven after all, huh, Herb?

HERB: No… he wasn't…

Owens climbs through the ropes and joins Hangman in the second ring. He immediately runs at Hangman and spears him to the ground. He follows with a series of rights as the fans boo and welcome Hangman back into their favor. Hangman, though, blocks Owens' punch and nails right on the jaw. Owens rolls off of Hangman and Hangman is already over him, nailing him with kicks to the ribs and the back. Owens fights his way back up, though, with elbows to Hangman's gut. Owens gets back to his feet and starts chopping away on Hangman's chest, sending him into the corner. He lifts the heavy Hangman up unto the turnbuckle and follows him. Owens hooks Hangman's head, lifts him up and sends him down with a huge superplex! Cover… 1………. 2……….. kick out!

HERB: That was close! Huge suplex from the 2-time former World Champion Owens!

Owens pulls Hangman back up and hits a beautiful chicken-wing suplex. He doesn't waste any time and pulls Hangman up again. He hits a nice vertical suplex and then continues working over the World Champion's back, kicking it relentlessly. After almost a minute of constant kicking, the referee pulls Owens away from Hangman. Owens walks over to his opponent's legs and then applies a Boston Crab.

FRANK: Owens shows that he's a thinking wrestler. He capitalized on the huge superplex with a series of other suplexes and now works on the back of Hangman some more.

Hangman is trying to grab the bottom rope, but as he almost reaches it, Owens pulls him back into the middle of the ring. Hangman looks as if he's about pass out, but suddenly, he powers his upper body up and Owens loses balance and falls onto his face. Both men are down now, but Owens is the first man back up. He pulls Hangman up and goes for a cradle piledriver. He pulls Hangman up, but Hangman is able to get back to his feet. He lifts Owens up and hits a huge spinebuster! The fans "oooh" and "aaaaah" because of the sick sound Owens' back made when it connected with the canvas. Owens screams in pain and holds his back, while Hangman rests on the top rope for a while. As Owens slowly makes his way up, Hangman starts running and bounces off the ropes with a powerful lariat.

FRANK: He almost knocked Owens' head off with this lariat.

HERB: Hangman with the cover! 1….. 2……

But Owens kicks out! Hangman with an Irish whip. Owens rebounds and is met by Hangman's big boot. Hangman follows with a power bomb and another cover. 1……. 2……. NO! Owens kicks out! Both men back up and Owens kicks Hangman's knee. He bounces off the ropes, but Hangman catches him and applies the iron claw to the face!

HERB: No! The Southern Comfort!

FRANK: He lifts Owens up and hits the choke slam!

Hangman hits the Southern Comfort with full force. He goes for the cover… 1…… 2…… Owens puts his leg over the bottom rope! The fans can't believe it, and so can't Hangman! Hangman picks Owens up and lifts him up for a gorilla press. He presses him high over his head and walks over to the ropes, apparently to throw him out of the ring. Owens, though, scratches Hangman's eyes and struggles off of him. He lands on the ring apron and goes for a right fist, but Hangman ducks and hits a big boot to force Owens off the apron and right onto the announce table, splitting it into two!

HERB: Ouch! Ahhhh! OUCH!

FRANK: Herb… Herb???

HERB: What? Arrrrrrgggghhhh…

FRANK: He hit the SPANISH announce table!

HERB: Oh.

Hangman leaves the ring and walks over to Owens, who is covered with the remains of the table, papers and lots of other stuff. Hangman grabs him by the air and tries to pull him up, but Owens doesn't move. Hangman looks on for a few seconds and then tries it again, but suddenly Owens jumps up and smashes the Spanish announcers' monitor over Hangman's head!

FRANK: Holy shit, what was that?

HERB: Hangman drops like a tree and Owens just drops the monitor.

FRANK: Hangman is bloodied. His eyes are totally covered by all the blood!

Owens takes all his remaining strength and drags Hangman back into the ring. He covers him and even puts his feet onto the ropes for additional leverage. 1……. 2……… NO! KICKOUT! Hangman kicks out! Owens is visibly upset. He pulls Hangman up, whips him into the ropes, goes down to his knees and hits a nasty low blow as Hangman comes running at him. Hangman is doubled over and Owens downs him with a Russian legsweep. He then turns Hangman onto his stomach and applies the Sweeper! Hangman tries to grab the ropes, but he's too far away. Owens pulls back and stretches Hangman's back and neck. Hangman has no choice but to tap…

HERB: He's done it! He's done it! New Champion! New Champion!

FRANK: The match is over, ladies and gentlemen, and Ray Owens just beat the newly crowned World Champion to win his third AWA Heavyweight title!

Owens releases the hold as "Parabola" begins to play. He sinks down in the corner as the referee hands him the World title belt. Owens pulls himself up with help from the ropes and holds the belt high into the air as the fans boo and the screen fades to black.
