[The lights in the arena go black, a countdown slowly begins, once it hits zero. "Lead the Pack" by Durt begins to play as Stardust walks out and poses on the rampway decked out in black wrestling tights with "STARDUST" written on the right leg in green computerized lettering,on the left is a green and black Superman logo. He is also wearing a black vest with the binary code spelling out the name "Stardust". He turns to face the crowd, poses and walks down the rampway, posing with some fans, getting his picture taken, than he gets to the ring, slowly climbs the steps, stops and looks around at the crowd, smiles, than he enters the ring, taking off his vest, he than climbs the nearest turnbuckle and poses for crowd, he than leaps off ready for action.]
Travis: Looks like Stardust is ready for action.
Johnny: He better be, he's going against GRAVE DIGGER! Did you see how they completely decimated Syndicate earlier tonight??
[The lights begin to go red and "Slow Chemical" begins to strum through the arena and the fans begin to boo loudly. Grave Digger slowly makes his walk to the ring. As he climbs onto the ring apron, the fans are booing so loudly they almost cancel out the music. Grave Digger climbs in the ring and unbuckles his USPW 6 Man Tag Title and hands it to the ref, the ref gives it to the bell ringer and returns to the middle of the ring. Grave Digger and Stardust are in opposite corners as the bell rings.]
Roberts: Here we go !
[Stardust walks into the center of the ring and starts to wave his arms up and down to hype his hometown crowd. They start to jump up and down wildly cheering, "STARDUST, STARDUST, STARDUST!". Stardust raises one of his arms and extends a middle figner to Grave Digger. Grave Digger walks and meets Stardust in the middle of the ring. Face-to-Face, Stardust throws the first blow. A hard left that connects with Grave Diggers jaw and leaves him stumbling backward. Stardust begins to show boat to the fans.]
Johnny: WHEWW HUGE LEFT HAND!
Roberts: Grave Digger wasn't expecting that !

Grave Digger grabs Stardust, turns him around and starts to knee him in the ribs. Grave Digger backs off and lets Stardust fall face first into the mat. Grave Digger spits on the mat next to Stardust and lifts him up and scoop slams him down to the mat.]
Travis: Grave Digger has turned the table on Stardust.
Roberts: He spit in a USPW Ring?? That's got to be against some company policy !
[Grave Digger lifts Stardust back to his feet and hits him with a big back hand chop. Stardust stumbles, but he turns and delivers a chop of his own.

Roberts: A near fall by Stardust !
[Stardust runs toward Grave Digger and goes for a cross body, Grave Digger catches him mid move and powerslams him hard to the ground. Grave Digger rolls off of Stardust and places his hand on Stardust’s throat and starts to choke him blatantly. The ref comes over and trys to pull Grave Digger off but it's no use, the ref begins to count. One...Two...Three...Four.... Grave Digger releases the choke and stands up.]
Roberts: Grave Digger better watch out before he gets disqualified for that choke !
Travis: I know, It's still the standard one fall match.
[Grave Digger picks up Stardust and delivers a mean throat thrust. Stardust falls back holding his throat, Grave Digger chuckles loudly before picking Stardust back up. Stardust trys to throw a few punches but none of them connect and Grave Digger gives him a big right hand to the head, Stardust stumbles back and bounces off the ropes half-heartedly and makes a attempt at hitting Grave Digger with a huge cross body, This one connects and the two men fall to the mat.]
Travis: The cross body connected!
Johnny: Grave Digger, GET UP!
[Stardust rolls to his feet and picks Grave Digger back up, Stardust locks Grave Diggers head in-between his arm and hits a tornado DDT. Grave Diggers head spikes into the mat like a nail. Stardust rolls over and throws his arm over Grave Diggers body and goes for the cover. One.... Two.... Grave Digger muscles out one more. Stardust rolls over and has a sign of disbelief on his face. Grave Digger sets up, he looks as if the DDT didn't even affect him.]
Johnny: 'Atta boy Grave Digger, Get back up and kill him!
Roberts: I cannot believe these two used to be best of friends!
[Grave Digger grabs Stardust by the hair and lifts him up an kicks him in the gut and quickly swipes him into the air and looks to chokeslam him down hard on the mat, but Stardust slips out of it, lands behind Grave Digger dropkicks him from behind, sending him into the turnbuckle. Digger stumbles backward right into a school boy roll-up!! The referee is right there… One...Two...Three. Stardust got the first pin. The bell rings and the ref raises Stardust’s hand.]
Travis: Stardust has gotten the first pin, he only needs one more to retire on top!
Roberts: I'm really routing for Stardust to win this, I want to see him go out on a strong leg!
[Grave Digger is in disbelief as Stardust is having his hand raised. Grave Digger turns around to be met by a high dropkick from Stardust. Grave Digger stumbles back and falls out of the ring. Stardust starts to taunt with the fans, before he runs and leaps through the ropes and hits a suicide dive knocking Grave Digger and himself over the barrier and into the crowd. The crowd is going wild slapping Stardusts back and trying to swipe at Grave Digger but having security back them away from the both of them.]
Roberts: This one has spilled into the crowd !
Johnny: Falls count anywhere at it's finest !
[Both Grave Digger and Stardust are back on their feet and are trading blows in the audience. Stardust begins to get the upper hand and gets in three consecutive blows knocking Grave Digger back. Stardust turns around and slaps hands with a group of fans. Grave Digger folds up one of the fans steel chairs.]
Travis: Stardust, look out !
Roberts: Grave Digger has a chair !
[Grave Digger swiftly turns around and smashes the steel chair into Stardusts back knocking him to the floor.

Grave Digger climbs over the railing and picks up Stardust and Irish whips him into the steel steps, Stardust goes flying over the steel steps and spills out in front of the announcer’s tables.]
Travis: Oh my lord... This is getting brutal!
[Grave Digger picks up Stardust and smashes his head into the announcers table and rolls him back into the ring.

Johnny: I don't like the looks of this one.
Travis: I don't either !
[Stardust places Grave Digger on the top rope and climbs up getting ready for a superplex through the table. Put, Grave Digger completely reverses it and lifts Stardust up and places him into a powerbomb type hold. Grave Digger looks like he's ready to leap and powerbomb Stardust through the table, But Stardust punches Grave Digger in the forehead and reverses it, hitting a hurricanrana, sending Grave Digger through the table. The crowd goes wild.]
Roberts: OH MY LORD !
Travis: Grave Digger went through that table like a knife goes through butter !
[Stardust goes for the cover, one... Two... Grave Digger just gets his shoulder up in time. Stardust lifts him up and whips him over the top rope ad Grave Digger spills to the floor, Stardust follows him. Grave Digger has clawed his way to his feet and hits Stardust in the stomach; He grabs Stardust and hits a high vertical suplex straight onto the outside mat. Grave Digger lifts Stardust back to his feet and smashes him head first into the announcers table, Stardust falls back and Grave Digger grabs the backstage monitors and throws them to the side, leaving the announcers table stripped bare.]
Johnny: I know what Grave Diggers looking to do!
Travis: He's going to kill Stardust at this rate.
[Grave Digger lifts Stardust up into a powerbomb position, but Stardust wiggles free and backchops Grave Digger square across the chest. Stardust grabs Grave Digger and delivers a snap suplex through the bare announcers table; the crowd goes crazy and starts a "OH MY GOD" chant.]
Travis: Lord have mercy ! These two men are going to kill one another!
Roberts: The fans are eating this up !
[Stardust rolls back to his feet and starts to slap a few fans hands. Stardust turns back around and picks Grave Digger up and rolls him back into the ring. Stardust reaches under the ring and pulls out a steel trash can and throws it into the ring. Stardust rolls into the ring and grabs the trash can; Grave Digger is back on his feet. Stardust rushes towards him and smashes the trash can square into Grave Diggers skull. Grave Digger falls flat to his back, Stardust ditches the trash can and goes for the cover, One...Two...Grave Digger bench presses Stardust up into the air breaking the cover.]
Roberts: Stardust was just lifted into the air like a rag doll!
Johnny: Grave Digger shows a display of pure strength!
[Grave Digger and Stardust both get back to their feet, Stardust charges back at Grave Digger, Grave Digger side steps the rushing Stardust and guides him straight over the ropes and slightly up the ramp.

Travis: Stardust is hurting after that !
[Grave Digger lifts Stardust back up and punches him straight in the forehead. Stardust stumbles back , but rushes back at Grave Digger, Grave Digger catches Stardust by the throat and is pointing down below off the stage.]
Roberts: No! He can’t!
Johnny: See ya later, loser!! It’s a long fall!!
[Stardust is lifted up for what could be a career-ending chokeslam, but once again he knows how to counter his best friend’s signature move, as he lands behind Grave Digger, waits for him to turn around and with one sick shot, he superkicks Grave Digger right in the jaw as he falls backwards and off of the side of the ramp into some electric wiring. The crowd comes un-glued after the huge tumble, and to follow, Stardust leaps off with a huge STARSTRUCK from the stage landing directly on Grave Digger! The crowd goes wild!! One... Two... Three!! Stardust has won both of the first two falls making him the winner of the mach, the ref calls for the bell.]
Johnny: Noooo!!
Roberts: Stardust gets the win! With the final shooting star press, the final STARSTRUCK of his illustrious career!! Way'ta go champ!
[Now, Grave Digger and Stardust have both been helped up from the bottom of the ramp to the top, Stardust is celebrating as Grave Digger is being helped backstage. But, Stardust turns around and rushes toward Grave Digger and lifts him into the dumpster that's setting at the top of the ramp and slams the lid shut.]
Johnny: Ohh man!! I forgot about that!!
Travis: The third fall? It might not be official but dammit, Stardust has a message to send tonight!!
[Stardust then proceeds to push the dumpster off of the side of the ramp as the crowd goes crazy again and begins to chant, "STARDUST". Stardust goes over to the fans and start to slap hands with them and give them hugs and such.]
Roberts: And Stardust is taking out the trash!! What a five star match!!
Travis: Thanks for the memories, legend!
[Stardust drops to his knees. Having fought the toughest match in his career. He looks into the crowd and sees his wife Chase Starr, she climbs over the security barrier, enters the ring and embraces her husband. While this is going on, Grave Digger had climbed out of the dumpster and slowly makes his way in to the ring, and stands in front of Stardust and Chase. Chase begs Grave Digger to just leave. But he does not, Stardust looks up and sees Grave Digger extend a hand.]
Roberts: A hand of friendship?
Vendetta: Or a sore loser?
[Stardust looks at his wife who seems a bit concerned. Stardust takes the hand, and is lifted up. He and Grave Digger lock their eyes on each other Grave Digger than brings Stardust in close for a quick hug and raises his hand in the air. The home town crowd is on their feet chanting "THANK YOU STARDUST!!!!" The camera than focuses on a young couple a man about his thirties the girl, sitting next him is a bit younger, just by a couple of years and standing n front of them is a little boy about nine. Stardust looks out into the crowd, sees the couple. The man mouths "Thank You". Stardust mouths back "No, Thank You."]
Roberts:Seems they are friends again and the fans showing their appreciation for Stardust. A great end to what has to be a great career for that man right there in that ring. Stardust. We will miss you.
Roberts: Being the double champion in a wrestling federation like USPW has its advantages, I’m sure! Money, endorsement deals, a place in the history books, etc. But it has its drawbacks too!
Johnny: Yeah! Just a few minutes ago Mike Mahoney and Izzy Inzane went to war with 25-to-Life to defend their tag team titles, and now they’re about to come out again and this one will be even more intense than the last one!
Travis: No kidding, Johnny! This thing has really reached a boiling point. It has to end here tonight!
Mike Cardella: The following match is for the USPW Television Championship! It will be a LAST MAN STANDING match!! Introducing first… The current Television Champion… Mike Mahoneeeey!!
["Enter the Cage" Begins to play as Mike Mahoney, and his ring girl Toni Frost make their way down to the ring. Toni Frost is dressed in her barely there outfit showing off her "First Round Tapout" logo stretched across the front of her shirt. Mike Mahoney has a black and white stripped referee shirt and his signature MMA shorts. He has the television title wrapped around his waist. He looks sweaty and frusterated that he was defeated earlier tonight as he stops in front of the ring, unstraps his belt hands it to Toni Frost and refuses to get his traditional before-match kiss, then rolls into the ring, pointing at the crowd and talking smack.]
Roberts: Mike Mahoney was pinned for the first time ever, earlier tonight. Will that affect his performance tonight?
Johnny: If anything, Mahoney is more motivated now that he feels Izzy Inzane cost him the USPW Tag Team Championship! I don’t think Mahoney can even fathom losing this match.
Mike Cardella: And the challenger! Izzzzzyyyyy Inzzaaaaneee!!!
["Welcome to Detroit City" Hits the PA system and is booming across the arena. The fans are all jumping up and cheering as Izzy Inzane steps out on to the ramp with a determined look across his face. He walks down the ramp slapping his fans hands all the way to the end of the ramp. He rolls into the ring and locks eyes on Mike Mahoney. The two men are starring each other down as Izzy makes his way to his corner and his music fades away.]
Travis: The Last Man Standing match… No pins, no submissions, no count out, no anything. It’s like a boxing match, but anything goes. If you can’t answer the 10 count, you’re done!
Johnny: I love it, and the fans love it! Izzy is gonna have his hands full!!
[The bell rings as Izzy Inzane and Mike Mahoney go toe-to-toe in the middle of the ring. They’re yelling and arguing and spouting off about “Tag Team Titles” this and “you’re a joke” that. The trash talking escalates and the fans really start getting riled up, until finally Mahoney shoves Izzy Inzane with both hands into his chest. Izzy smiles and shoves Mike back.]
Travis: There’s no backing down tonight! This is it!
[Mike charges at Izzy and gets a big double-leg takedown, tripping Izzy and slamming him into the mat. Mike delivers a couple of stiff right hands to Izzy, then twists his arm wrenches down on the shoulder with a basic lock. Izzy looks like he’s in pain, but he’s well scouted as he turns out of it, and starts to make it to his feet, but Mahoney stretches the arm and delivers a kick to the biceps and follows it up with more kicks to the arm.]
Johnny: Mike Mahoney is working his magic here.
Roberts: He really is a machine!
[Mike Mahoney backs Izzy Inzane up to the ropes and then Irish whips him across the ring. Izzy bounces off the ropes and Mike looks for a high roundhouse kick, but Izzy is fully aware as he ducks it, rolls behind Mike and gives him a dropkick from behind. Mike stumbles into the turnbuckle, and Izzy wastes no time following his momentum with a leap into the corner and he initiates the 10 punch combo. The audience counts along as Izzy rains down punches on Mahoney’s face… One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, TEN!!! Izzy then pulls backwards and tosses Mahoney clear across the ring with a huge monkey flip. The crowd is in a frenzy.]
Travis: Izzy Inzane is so quick, and so talented. I can’t imagine Mahoney keeping up this pace!
[Mike is back up to his feet but Izzy pushes him back into the corner and delivers a chop to the chest as the crowd gives him a “WOOOO!!” Mike hold his chest in pain.]
Roberts: WOOOO!!!!
[Izzy grabs Mike, but Mahoney is quick with a counter as he spins 180 and puts Izzy into the corner and delivers a kick to the midsection, and follows up with kick after kick after kick, and then finishes his combo with a spinning back martial arts kick to Izzy’s jaw. Izzy slumps down to the bottom rope in a seated position holding his face in pain.]
Johnny: Those kicks can kill, man!
[With Izzy at the bottom, Mahoney is the first to take advantage of these No DQ rules as he gets a sinister smirk on his face and reaches out to the top turnbuckle and unties the protective padding, exposing the dangerous steel corner and preparing to use it to his advantage.]
Roberts: Mahoney has something evil planned with this exposed turnbuckle.
Johnny: It’s better this way. There’s no Octagon-padding in MMA. Fight like a man, Izzy, fight like a man.
[Mike turns around and looks for Izzy, but Izzy has recovered and he charges at Mike and nails him directly with a spinning wheel kick. Mike Mahoney falls down, and rolls under the bottom rope looking ofr some breathing room but he doesn’t get it as Izzy grabs him by the hair and lifts him up to his feet. The two are separated by the ropes, but Izzy just grabs Mike by the head and smashes him face first into the turnbuckle post. Mahoney falls to the outside of the ring, and the fans cheer.]
Roberts: Izzy certainly isn’t playing around tonight!
[With drive on Izzy’s side, he poses for the fans, and they cheer as he bounces off the opposite ropes, and runs back towards Mahoney’s direction and he leaps in-between the ropes at high speeds with a huge suicide dive to the outside, connecting directly with Mike Mahoney and sending him to the ground. The ground chants for Izzy, as he slaps hands with some young fans then slides back into the ring.]
Travis: What a suicide dive! Izzy has no fear!
[Izzy is back in the ring and he sticks his fingers up and says it’s time for TWO! He runs off the ropes and gains speed as he comes back he hurdles up to the top rope and uses it as a launching post as he tope’ planchas right onto Mike Mahoney and flattens him with his speed and impact. Mahoney is down the crowd is going wild. The referee sees Mike down, and begins his count… One… Two… But Mahoney is getting back to his hands and knees.]
Roberts: If you’re on the floor too long the referee WILL count you out. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the ring or the parking lot!
[Izzy smiles as the fans give him an adrenaline rush. He keeps the attacks coming as he stomps on Mahoney a few times, then heads up to the apron. He turns around and points at his opponent, then the fans. They go crazy as Izzy springboards off the rope, to the outside, with an asai moonsault, but Mahoney rolls out of the way, and Izzy crashes stomach first onto the protective guard rail. The crowd is stunned into silence.]
Johnny: That’s the problem with these high-risk high-reward type moves. Sooner or later you crash and burn.
[With Izzy hung over the guard rails like a tower over a rack, Mike Mahoney finds opportunity to deliver a kick to the upper back, and another, and another until he delivers a dropkick, that forces Izzy off the railing and onto the cold floor. Izzy writes around in pain as Mike Mahoney looks around smiling. Toni Frost claps for him.]
Travis: Mahoney is always so calm and collective. It’s hard to beat him. He’s only last one match in his entire pro-wrestling career, and that was earlier tonight!
Johnny: Well, anyone can beat Izzy if he just jumps off the ropes and lands on his face like that.
[Izzy starts getting up to his feet but Mahoney knees him in the ribs, and mounts his back and delivers a few punches to the face. The ref wants to stop these vicious punches but he can’t. Izzy curls up into a ball, hoping to enforce some defense, as Mike gets up and insults the fans yelling “TELEVISION CHAMPION BABYYYY!!”.]
Johnny: Mike Mahoney has been the Television Champion since USPW Forsaken. He’s certainly restored a lot of dignity to it since Shawn Starr and that jerk GM Remy trashed it.
Roberts: But we all know Izzy should be the champion right now.
Travis: Izzy was the Tag Team Champion for about a week! I guess it doesn’t surprise me there wasn’t a lot of chemistry between these two…
[Izzy Inzane staggers up to his feet and tries to regain some offense but Mahoney is quick to duck a punch and wrap his arms around Izzy’s waist from behind. He lifts Izzy up and over and with a massive show of strength and technique he german suplexes Izzy face first onto the cold unforgiving floor. The suplex was so powerful Izzy spun too much and landed on his face, not his neck, like in Japan. Izzy isn’t moving. The ref is out to count.]
Johnny: Did you see that?? A release german suplex!! Izzy should just quit while he’s alive.
[Mahoney rolls into the ring with Izzy out on the outside and the ref counting. One… Two… Three… But Izzy is awake and struggling to his feet. The ref stops the count as Izzy shakes it off and prepares to enter the ring. The crowd urges him on as he gets onto the apron, and starts to enter the ring, but Mahoney is up to his old tricks! He pulls guard, and wraps his legs around Izzy’s throat and it’s that Hell’s Gate gogoplata on the ropes again. Izzy is in serious pain.]
Roberts: The gogoplata!! The gogoplata!!
Travis: Mike Mahoney really knows how to use the “no ropebreak” rules to use extra force in his choke hold. Remember, in the steel cage match for the TV title, Mike Mahoney defeated Izzy Inzane with this very hold, and he’s been on a tear ever since!
[Izzy is in serious trouble as as his eyes are rolling back into his head, but he somehow musters up the strength and courage to pull Mahoney, slowly but surely, back between the ropes, choke hold still applied and using all his leverage, he falls backwards pulling Mahoney out of the ring with him in a powerbomb-like slam. Both men crash to the floor, but Izzy is free of the dangerous hold and the fans go wild. But the ref has to count both men now!]
Johnny: What! No one escapes the gogoplata!!
Roberts: Izzy just did!!
Travis: Let’s just hope both men don’t get counted out!
[The ref counts… One… Two… Three… Four… But both Mike and Izzy are back up and recovering from that spill. Mike Mahoney seems upset that his favorite hold was broken out of. He pulls Toni Frost close to him, and yells at her “BRING ME A CHAIR!” Toni tries to resist. “I DON’T CARE, I AM GONNA END THIS!!” He says and Toni grabs a chair, and hands it to Mike as Izzy crawls up the entrance ramp, taking this opportunity to catch his breath after that Jiu-Jitsu hold.]
Travis: Mike Mahoney has a chair?? Is that allowed in MMA?!
[Mike Mahoney stalks Izzy Inzane up the ramp, and slowly raises his chair, ready to swing into Izzy, but Izzy springs up to his feet, like he was playing-possum and catches Mike off guard mid-swing with a dropkick to the chair, sending it crashing into Mike’s face. The fans go wild as Mike splats over backwards on the entrance ramp. And the ref is making a count]
Roberts: Izzy just dropkicked the chair into Mike’s face!
Johnny: Ohh yeah, real nice. I hope he’s proud of an illegal attack like that.
Travis: You know it’s no DQ, Johnny-boy!
[The ref counts… One… Two… Three… Four… Five… But Mahoney is scrambling to his feet. He swings at Izzy in fury, but Izzy counters with a hip toss, slamming Mike back first into the unforgiving entry-way. Mike is up and in pain.]
Roberts: They’re getting further and further from the ring!
[Izzy sneaks up on Mike and tries to capitalize but Mahoney elbows him in the face, and then elbows him again and again, as he brawls further and further from the ring and swings for a punch, but Izzy ducks it, goes behind, hooks between the legs and delivers that trademark teardrop suplex with a loud sinister thud. Mahoney is laid out.]
Johnny: Ohh this isn’t right!!
Roberts: What a beautiful suplex!!
[The ref counts… One… Two… Three… Four… Five… Six… But Mahoney uses the guard rails to pull himself up to his feet. He’s staggering around as Izzy runs after him looking for an attack, but Mahoney has a quick trick up his sleeve as he delivers a beautiful drop toe hold in just the right spot to send Izzy face-first into the steel guard rails. Izzy hits with a sickening clunk and he holds his face in pain.]
Johnny: Nice technique!
[Mike Mahoney lifts Izzy up and drops him chest first across the railing with a snake-eyes attack. Izzy leans against the railing in pain, as Mike kicks him in the chest several times, each kick more intense than the last. And with one last ferocious strike, Mahoney delivers the roundhouse kick between the eyes of Izzy as Izzy collapses on the entry way. Mike Mahoney grabs his chair again and tells Izzy to stay down.]
Travis: That vicious Cro-cop kick!
Roberts: That’s the same move Mahoney used to win the belt at the last PPV, Forsaken, when he kicked Deacon Frost right in the face! Can Mahoney beat Izzy with it here?!
[The ref counts. One… Two… Three… Four… Mike Mahoney swings his chair into the steel guard rails for a warning not to get up… Five… Six… Seven… And with only three seconds left, Izzy is up to his feet.]
Roberts: Izzy survives the roundhouse kick! Somehow!
[Mike Mahoney shouts a battle cry as he swings the chair into Izzy Inzane’s back at full force, while he attempts to stand up. Izzy yells in pain as it collides with him, and he crawls away from Mahoney looking for some salvation, but Mahoney brings the chair back down over Izzy’s back again with a horrifying thud that puts the whole audience in shock.]
Johnny: Just stay down Izzy!
[Izzy turns over and gets on his hands and knees and grabs Mike’s tights but he can’t muster up any offense as Mike brings the chair crashing down over Izzy’s skull with one final blow. The camera pans to young Izzy fans with Izzy t-shirts who look like they’re nearly in tears, as Toni claps her hands in excitement and Mahoney sets the chair up in the seated position, grabbing the Television Title and raising his hands in pride.]
Roberts: That chair shot echoes though out the arena.
Travis: Seriously, that was a sickening blow. This one is over.
[The ref is reluctantly counting… One… Two… Three… Four…]
Johnny: What is there left to prove Izzy? You lost this match and you’ll never be good enough for the USPW Television Championship.
[The ref continues his count… Five… Six…]
Roberts: Come on Izzy, we’re counting on you! Every USPW fan in the world is counting on you, Izzy Inzane!!
[The ref counts more as Mahoney takes a fan’s popcorn, and sits in the steel chair, watching the lifeless Izzy try and come back… Seven…]
Travis: Mahoney has taken a seat and is watching with joy.
[The ref counts to EIGHT, but Izzy somehow is working his way back to his feet. The crowd can’t believe it and neither can Mike Mahoney. He throws the popcorn angrily at Izzy.]
Roberts: Izzy is up!! How does he do it??
Travis: He has heart!!
[Mike Mahoney grabs Izzy and pulls him up to his feet, delivering a quick knee to the gut, and then setting up for another finishing muay Thai kick. He measures Izzy and launches the roundhouse kick that has ended fights in MMA and USPW, but not this time! Izzy ducks it, and uses the chair Mike Mahoney was sitting on to do a backflip and moonsault onto Mike Mahoney, completely catching him off guard! The crowd is alive!]
Roberts: Did you see that?!
Johnny: Big deal!
Travis: A lionsault with the steel chair! Izzy doesn’t need ropes! They’ve been battling this war on the entrance stage!
[Izzy doesn’t waste any time following up as he leaps up onto the steel guard rails, without using his hands at all and balances up on the rails, before jumping off with a twisting senton bomb, landing across Mahoney’s chest, and leaving him lifeless on the ground. Izzy gets up with excitement and energy as the referee counts.]
Roberts: That could be it!
[Ref is counting… One… Two… Three… Four…]
Travis: Mahoney has taken turnbuckles to the face, chairs to the face, slams on the ramp, and all sorts of trademark show-stealing daredevil attacks from Izzy. I think this is the straw that broke the camel’s back!
[Ref continues… Five… Six… Seven…]
Johnny: Wait a second!
[Mahoney is looking to get back up… Eight… Nine… Mike makes it to his hands and knees! Last second, but he makes it!]
Travis: Woah, that was close.
Roberts: Don’t let up Izzy, let’s finish this!!
[Izzy walks over to Mike and looks to continue his assault, but alas, it’s cut short with a crushing LOW BLOW! A big forearms across the privates, halts all of Izzy’s momentum. Toni jumps and cheers, but the rest of the crowd boos.]
Johnny: Great Jiu-Jitsu right there!!
Travis: Johnny!!
Johnny: Sorry, you’re right. I mean: Great Tae Kwon Do right there!!
[Mahoney gets up and drags Izzy to the ledge of the stage. The camera man follows them and reveals a dangerous 10-foot drop off from the stage, to the cold concrete below.]
Roberts: Don’t tell me…
Travis: He can’t be thinking this!
[Mahoney points off the stage and says it’s over. There’s a storage area right below where the extra chairs are kept. Mahoney points to it, just to make sure the fans know this isn’t going to be a smooth landing for Izzy.]
Johnny: It was nice knowing you Izzy! Your career if OVERRRR!!
Roberts: Mahoney has ended the career of Jason Connor, “Classy” Mike C and many others. Does he end Izzy Inzane tonight??
[Mike lifts Izzy and kicks him in the ribs, before hooking his waist and lining up a big suplex. He is behind Izzy and ready for another German suplex! This one from ten feet above to the chairs and concrete below!]
Roberts: I can’t watch!!
[Mike arches his back and looks for the 10 foot German suplex but Izzy miraculously hooks his leg around Mike’s and saves this match. He elbows Mike in the face, loosening the grip.]
Travis: They’re awfully close to that ledge!!
[Izzy elbows Mike again, and frees himself to set up the suplex, hook the leg, do a 180 spin, and the crowd goes wild and flashbulbs go off everywhere as Mike Mahoney is lifted up in the air in a fisherman suplex position, and both men go flying off the stage!! It’s the Welcome to Detroit from the entrance stage to the steel chairs and cold concrete below!! The crowd goes wild with “HOLY SH—!! HOLY SH--!!“ chants!]
Roberts: Welcome to Detroit!! From 10 feet above!!
Travis: I can’t believe it!!
[Both men are down and out. The impact was devastating. The referee hops down and does his best to make the count… One… Two…]
Roberts: I am speechless.
[Referee continues counting… Three… Four…]
Travis: We need EMTs out here! Neither man is moving.
[Referee is still counting. Travis is right, neither man is moving a muscle… Five… Six…]
Johnny: Somebody check on poor Toni Frost, she must be so shocked!
Roberts: This one may end in a draw. I think Izzy hurt not just Mahoney, but himself. It was a great effort, but maybe too good.
[The ref keeps doing his job… Seven… Eight…]
[The crowd is going wild, and you know why… Izzy Inzane is up and moving! He has come to and is up on his feet! The ref is now counting Mike Mahoney only… Nine…]
Roberts: Izzy is up!! How is he up??
[The ref makes his final count… TEN!! He calls for the bell and it rings.]
Travis: That’s it!! Izzy Inzane did it!! He defeated Mike Mahoney in the Last Man Standing Match!!
Johnny: B-but…!?
Roberts: The new USPW Television Champion!! Mischoff can’t change it now!!
[The referee hands Izzy his new USPW Television Championship, and he collapses to his knees and hugs the belt like a long lost brother. The crowd is loving it.]
Mike Cardella: The winner of the match and NEW USPW TELEVISION CHAMPION!!! IZZZYYYYYY INZAAAANNEEE!!!
[Toni Frost kneels by Mike Mahoney, with a concerned look on his face as Izzy celebrates with his fans in the audience. Broken and battered, but never beaten Izzy lifts his championship high in the air.]
Roberts: Congratulations Izzy Inzane, you deserve this!!
Johnny: And now is one of the most personal matches that we on tonights card.
Travis: You got that right Johnny! It's between the USPW U.S. Champion AJ Johnson and the USPW Champions Advantage Briefcase Holder The Brian Magnum.
Roberts: And it is a no DQ match. But remember what GM Ray told these two men last week, All or Nothing and the winner gets an oppertunity but what could it be for?
Johnny: I guess we will find out once this match is over.
[Suddenly "End of Days" hits the PA system as through the curtain enters AJ Johnson. His Gold Pyro begins shooting as he takes off the U.S. Title that was around his waist and holds it in the air. The crowd cheers as he stands on the stage and poses for a moment before making his way down to the ring.]
Travis: This man must be on a mission. He has been attacked and beaten down by Brian.
Roberts: You got that right, I'm just waiting to see what in the hell he has up his sleeve for tonights match.
[The lights in the Arena then dim as Downstait's "I Came To Play" hits the PA system. The crowd then begins to boo as through the curtain dressed in a black trench coat along with his ring gear is The Brian Magnum. He is holding the briefcase in his hand as he makes his way to the ring without hesitation. As he reaches the ring AJ swings to the ropes and leaps over the top rope but is met with a swift shot to the head by The Brian Magnums briefcase.]
Johnny: Oh my god what a cheapshot!
Travis: But a smart move because there is no disqualifications and now it looks as though AJ is busted wide open.
[Magnum throws off his coat as he picks AJ up and begins delivering right hands to him as the two men fight their way up the entrance ramp. All of a sudden AJ reverses a right hand and begins taking control as the crowd in attendance begins cheering.]
Travis: Looks like AJ may have regained his composure.
Roberts: Yeah but at what cost, he may have suffered a concussion from that briefcase shot to the head.
Johnny: I just hope that those two are careful up there on the stage.
[AJ delivers a few right hands to Magnums head before hitting him with a kick to the midsection and a snap suplex onto the metall stage floor. AJ is a little slow to his feet as he then grabs the briefcase that Magnum dropped as he waits for Magnum to rise to his feet. Magnum stands and turns towards AJ as he is met with a shot to the head which in return busts him open as well.]
Travis: Oh my!! Looks like we now have blood everywhere.
[AJ then goes for the pinfall.]

KICKOUT!
Roberts: That was a close one there!
Travis: I thought it was about to be over and so early!
[AJ stomps on Magnum as he then begins looking around for something. He begins walking back towards the ring as he throws the ring apron up and pulls out a 15 foot ladder.]
Johnny: I can only imagine what AJ is about to do with that! He has never been afraid to pull out some extrordinary high-flying moves.
[AJ throws the ladder into the ring as he then heads back up the ramp to the rising Brian Magnum. AJ goes to throw a right hand but Magnum ducks and hits AJ with a superkick to the face which sends him to the metal stage floor. Magnum makes his way slowly crawling on the floor s he drapes his arm over AJs body.]
Travis: Not like this!

[As the referees hand is coming down for the three count, AJs shoulder violently rises up.]
KICKOUT!
[Magnum then makes his way slowly back up to his feet and then grabs AJ and begins pulling him towards the USPW ring. He rolls AJ inside of the ring as he also throws the ring apron up and brings out a steel chair. He holds the chair in the air as the crowd begin to boo. Magnum makes his way into the ring and is taunting AJ to rise to his feet as he waits. AJ stands and turns but ducks as Magnum attempts to hit him with the chair. AJ turns quickly back around and hits Magnums hands and the chair with a dropkick which sends the chair into Magnums head.]
Travis: Okay the tables have turned once again in AJ Johnsons favor.
Roberts: What a match this has been so far.
[AJ then stands and looks around the arena as the crowd begin cheering wildly at him. He then picks up the ladder and sets it up in the corner of the ring as he begins to climb. Just as he reaches the top Magnum makes it to his feet as now his face is covered in blood. He too climbs the ladder as the two of them meet at the top of the 15 foot high ladder.]
Johnny: This does not look as though it will end good for either one of these men.
[Magnum begins landing right hands to AJs head. AJ attempts to fight back but is unsuccessful as Magnum signals for the end. He places AJ as if he is about to deliver a suplex but AJ begins hitting his mid section with some hard blows. Magnum loses his momentum as AJ then jumps over the ladder, flips around, and grabs Magnum as he hits him with a powerbomb from the top of the ladder down to the ring mat.]
Travis: Oh MY GOD!!!!!!!!
Roberts: That was freaking insane!!!
[The crowd is going wild with chants being heard. "This is Awesome!" "This is Awesome!". AJ rises as he also picks The Brian Magnum up off the canvas. He lifts him up for a powerslam but Magnum reverses it and pushes AJ into the corner. Magnum then runs and hits the Buisaku Knee onto AJS back which causes him to fall. Magnum then covers AJ.]

3.....KICKOUT!!!!!!!!!!
Roberts: Wow!, I thought the match was over right there.
Travis: Me too! But what a kickout from AJ!
[Magnum looks very upset as he stands to his feet and yells in anger. He grabs AJ and brings him to his feet and he then picks him up and delivers a powerslam. He picks up the steelchair that is laying in the ring and begins to wait as AJ slowly makes his way to his feet. As AJ turns Magnum attempts to hit him but AJ ducks. As Magnum turns back around AJ flips over and hits the Pelee kick which send the chair into the skull of The Brian Magnum and sends him to the mat. AJ then picks up the chair and begins hitting Magnum with it numerous times as Magnum is laying motionless on the mat.AJ continues with about 9 or 10 hits with the chair until he drops it and flips Magnum over as he climbs the ropes. He then makes the praying motion as he spreads his arms apart and hits Magnum with the Spreaded Wings Moonsault. He then goes for the pin.]

Ding,Ding,Ding!
Travis: We have a winner!
Johnny: That was one hell of a match that we just witnessed folks. Now he holds both the U.S. Title and the Champions Advantage Briefcase. As well as earns an oppertunity that will be given to him by GM Ray.
Roberts: I am getting word that GM Ray will announce more about that oppertunity this Friday on Freedom.
[AJ grabs The Brian Magnum and picks him up off the canvas. He looks to be saying something to him as AJ then tosses him out of the ring to cheers from the crowd. AJ then grabs both the U.S. Title and the Champions Advantage Briefcase. He also takes a microphone as he begins speaking to the crowd.]
AJ: What a damnmatch huh!?
[The crowd cheers in excitement.]
AJ: Don't worry, I'm going to make this short and sweet. See after tonight I don't think I will ever have to worry about that piece of trash again. Tonight we proved who was always the superior wrestler between us. Look at him now, he has nothing and I have everything but that is what I'm here to talk about. I'm the U.S. champion yes, but I'm also destined for bigger and better things which is why I am vacating the U.S. Title afer tonight!.]
Travis: What!? Can he do that!?
AJ: As well as I want to earn the world title on my own so that is why I am also vacating the Champions Advantage briefcase. That was always my plan, I just didn't want to have the fraud Brian Magnum walking around with it. USPW Management, you guys can do whatever you want with the U.S. Title and the Briefcase because they are no longer mine.
[AJ drops the mic and heads out of the ring and to the backstage area.]
