Hardcore Hallowe’en 10/06/2009

Underground-”Hardcore Halloween”
10-20-2009
Clinton Armory-Clinton, SC
Goblins, ghouls, ghosts, vampires, frankensteins, witches, wizards, and a princess fill the atrium of the arena? The camera pans to show the “Hardcore Halloween”
banner before snapping back to someone trying to perform magic on a unsuspecting Jenny Jersey; it is an older man, probably a love spell. Jenny is dressed
up tonight as a naughty nurse with white short skirt, spiked heels, and well… you know. Rob Martinez walks from the front door dressed as a 1980s Hulkamaniac
while Corey Taylor walks in dressed… as a normal person. He doesn’t seem to be phased as he is asked what he is supposed to be.

COREY TAYLOR: I am a serial murderer, they can live next door to you and you may never know.

The small crowd backs away, looking a bit uncomfortable around the commentator. Jenny walks over to the princess and startles as she notices that the princess
is a guy… boy is she uncomfortable, she quickly walks away. The clock on the wall reads “7:45″ so the time is approaching, from inside the arena we hear
the voice of Chet Whetleson on the microphone.

CHET WHETLESON: Ladies and gentlemen, the Hardcore Halloween show will begin in approximately fifteen minutes.

Everyone out here slowly begins to make their way to their seats, carrying their Pepsi, beer, pretzels, or whatever they purchased to snack on during the
show.

——————————————————————————–

The song “The Final Countdown” plays as referee Jimmy Johnson climbs into the ring and as soon as his music stops the Pink Panther Theme (Swing Cat version)
starts to play as Rebel World Tag Team champion Scottie Snow makes his way to the ring.

JENNY JERSEY: The following match is a qualifying match for the Hardcore Tournament at Misgivings. Introducing first from Memphis, Tennessee and accompanied
by The Phoenix, he is one half of the Rebel World Tag Team Champions….SCOTTIE “THE PANTHER” SNOW!

The crowd shows Snow some love even if it’s not on par with what the Show would receive but a fair amount of love just the same. Snow returns the love
as the Phoenix return that love with a dirty look. Scottie Snow acknowledges the fans again when he climbs into the ring.

But the fans cheers quickly turn into boos as “Stayin’ Alive” by Anal (BLEEP) takes the place of Snow’s music and the Jonas Brothers step through the curtain
to a chorus of loud boos from the fans.

JENNY JERSEY: And his opponent from Sacramento, California and accompanied by Tommy Jonas….JIM JONAS!

The Jonas Brothers show as much contempt and hatred for the fans as Snow showed love. As the two bad-mouth and flip-off the fans. Finally the Jonas Brothers
climb into the ring but the match doesn’t start until Referee Johnson orders both The Phoenix and Tommy Jonas out of the ring and warns them that any interference
from them and they will be sent to the locker-room. As the ref is giving this warning, Jim Jonas runs over to attack Scottie Snow from behind to start
the match. Jim rains clubbing forearms before whipping Scottie into the opposite corner. Jim charges at Scottie in the corner but Snow is able to get out
of the way. Jonas slams hard into the corner and Snow spins him around and monkey-flips out of the corner. Snow follows this up with a running leg drop.
Scottie reaches down and starts to pull Jim to his feet but gets a shoulder to the gut. Jim follows that up with a vicious knee to side of Scottie’s head.
Snow is staggered by the blow and Jonas scoops him and slams him down hard then he puts the boots to him. Jim picks Scottie up whipping him into the ropes
intending to clothesline him out of his boots but “the Panther” ducks and hit’s the opposite ropes and nails Jonas with a spinning heel kick.

COREY TAYLOR: Scottie needs to learn how to wrestle from The Phoenix. Right now, even you are better than him Rob.

ROB MARTINEZ: Do you have any respect for the guys that get inside that ring?

COREY TAYLOR: I like The Phoenix, the Jonas Brothers, FTC, people with ambition and drive.

Seizing on the advantage Snow heads to the top turnbuckle and flies intending to floor Jim Jonas with a cross body block but Jonas catches him with a vicious
Spinebuster. Jim Jonas goes for the pin and referee Jimmy Johnson goes down to count. As Johnson counts The Phoenix takes a hand to save his tag team partner.
Tommy Jonas comes over and starts to brawl with The Phoenix. The partners of the two men in the ring exchange blows and the ref slides outside to break
them up. As the referee deals with The Phoenix and Tommy Jonas, Jim rolls out of the ring on a side where the ref can’t see and tosses a chair into the
ring. Jim climbs back into the ring and brings the chair down across the back of Snow who had regained his feet. Jim Jonas throws the chair drop and grabs
Scottie up and plants him with a Brainbuster. As the referee finally separates Tommy and the Phoenix, Jim Jonas takes time to gloat and argue with the
fans instead of pressing his advantage over Scottie Snow.

ROB MARTINEZ: Jim should make the cover here.

COREY TAYLOR: He is having way too much fun to end the match now.

When Jim decides to return to the attack he’s too late as his met by a beautiful dropkick by “the Panther”. Scottie quickly follows up with a Rolling Thunder,
Snow mounts the turnbuckles and flies off with a Moonsault on Jim and goes for a cover. Referee Jimmy Johnson goes down to count but barely gets to two
before Jim Jonas powers out and attempts to regain his feet. A Hurricanrana from Snow puts Jonas on his back again. Snow climbs the turnbuckle again not
wanting to give Jonas a chance to recover. Scottie executes a Frog Splash on Jim and again gets a two count. Snow keeps up the pace designed to keep Jonas
out of sync and aims a bicycle kick at Jim Jonas as he gets to his feet but Jonas catches his foot. Jonas teases Snow but is quick to shut up following
an Enzeguri by Snow. Snow tries to turn up the impact and sets Jonas up for a “Panther Bomb” attempt, but is block by Jim Jonas. Jonas follows this up
with his Elevated Cradle Neckbreaker.

COREY TAYLOR: Jim isn’t going to let this pipsqueak get away now.

ROB MARTINEZ: Jim is showing that he learned from his earlier mistake.

Learning from his earlier mistake Jim Jonas presses his advantage and hits Snow with a Face First Piledriver. Snow tries to fight back but the power of
Jonas negates the last ditch effort of Scottie Snow and toys with him for a few moments before hitting yet another high impact move with his Front Ring
Rope Suplex. After laying in a few stomps, Jim Jonas decides to end the match and punishes Scottie Snow with a Rocky Mountain Thunder Bomb and then quickly
covers “the Panther” and Referee Johnson counts

One…

Two…

Three..!

JENNY JERSEY: Here is your winner and now qualified for the Hardcore Tournament at Misgivings JIM JONAS!

COREY TAYLOR: Look at Phoenix giving Scottie the third degree, he deserves to have a good talking to.

ROB MARTINEZ: Phoenix didn’t even tell Snow he had a match.

COREY TAYLOR: Like it is Phoenix’s job to babysit Scottie Snow.

ROB MARTINEZ: Well, let’s move right along to our next match pitting the returning Thomas Young against Marxx.

——————————————————————————–

‘Screams of the Undead’ by Demon Hunter blasts through the sound system as Thomas Young makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.

JENNY JERSEY: Introducing first from Hollywood, Florida standing six feet four inches and weighing in at two hundred and forty-five pounds, he is a former
Rebel tag team champion making his return to the ring tonight he is … THOMAS YOUNG!

‘Shackler’s Revenge’ by Guns ‘n’ Roses blasts through the sound system as Marxx makes his way down to the ring also to a mixed reaction from the crowd.
JENNY JERSEY: And his opponent from New Brunswick, Canada standing six feet even and weighing two hundred and thirty-one pounds he is… MARXX!

Neither man has taken there eyes off of each other as Marxx climbs through the ropes. Referee Jimmy Johnson calls for the bell as Marxx and Young tie up
neither man getting an advantage at first with them going back and forth both men trying to get the early advantage. Young finally uses his size advantage
to forcing Marxx into the corner before delivering a series of chops that echoes through the crowd.

ROB MARTINEZ: It doesn’t look as if Young has any ring rust so far.

COREY TAYLOR: Question is does anyone really care. I know I don’t.

ROB MARTINEZ: Remind me again how you got this job.

COREY TAYLOR: I know somebody that knows somebody.

Young whips Marxx into the ropes and delivers a clothesline that knocks Marxx back into the ropes but out of nowhere Marxx regains his composure and delivers
a springboard clothesline of his own. We are back at a stand still with both men executing razor sharp moves. Marxx catches Young off guard with a Canadian
Leg Sweep to gain the advantage. Marxx seems to have some momentum going as he continues his assault with a ‘party crasher’. Young may have picked the
wrong week to return or at least the wrong opponent as Marxx seems to be feeling it as he pulls off a ‘jager-bomb’ and goes for the cover. Jimmy Johnson
slides into position for the count…

ONE…

TWO…

Kick-out by Young he ain’t ready for his comeback match to be over just yet. Marxx stays on the attack and sling shots Young off the ropes but Young manages
somehow to land a Yakuza Kick. Once again changing the momentum in this match-up.

COREY TAYLOR: I’m going to go get some popcorn and myself a pretzel. You want anything?

ROB MARTINEZ: You can’t just leave we got a match going on here!

COREY TAYLOR: Is that what you call it? I’ll bring you back a Coke or Pepsi or whatever they have.

ROB MARTINEZ: I want to apologize for the behavior of my colleague. But getting back to the match we seem to have a good one going so far.

Young continues to ride his momentum executing a series of suplexes before making a pin. Johnson with the count…

ONE…

T…

Only about one and a half as Marxx kicks out. Young with an elbow drop but Marxx slides out of the way allowing Young to meet the mat the hard way. Marxx
takes advantage quickly with a sleeper hold. Young tries to get to the rope as Marxx tightens his grip. Finally Young gets to the ropes and climbs them
to force Marxx to break the hold. The fans seem to be getting tired of the back and forth match as they are starting to chant bring on the hardcore. Young
and Marxx begin trading rights and lefts with neither getting the advantage the chants from the crowd begins to get louder.

COREY TAYLOR: Here you go I brought you back a McRib and some fries.

ROB MARTINEZ I was unaware that the snack bar sold McRibs.

COREY TAYLOR: They don’t but I had a Big Mac Attack and figured the way this match was going I had time to do the drive-thru. So what did I miss?

ROB MARTINEZ: Will you please just do your job?

Young and Marxx look at each other then at the crowd then back at each other before nodding. Both men then slide out of the ring and grabs chairs before
climbing back in. Marxx goes for a chair shot but Young ducks and attempts one of his own but Marxx is able to block it. Marxx then manages to use the
chair to take out the knees of Young then he delivers a chair shot across the head of Young that brings blood.

ROB MARTINEZ: Young seems to be in dire straits at the moment. We will soon find out if he’s got anything left.

COREY TAYLOR: TWOALLBEEFPATTIESSPECIALSAUCELETTUCECHEESEONIONPICKLESONASESAMESEEDBUN.

ROB MARTINEZ: Will you please focus?

Marxx goes for and lands another ‘jager-bomb’ this time into a steel chair! The fans are loving the violence as this maybe the match as Johnson applies
the count…

ONE…

TWO…

THR…

Kick-out at two and three quarters as Marxx looks to be getting frustrated as he picks up Young and attempts a full nelson but Young manages to reverse
it into a backdrop. Young then goes on the offensive with a series of chair shots that takes Marxx to the mat. Young goes for the cover as Johnson counts…
ONE…

TWO…

Marxx with a kick-out at two as he then manages to roll out of the ring. Young follows and is met with a chair shot for his trouble. The fans are beginning
to get into the match as he has turned into a blood bath as Marxx attempts to ram Young’s head into the steel steps but Young blocks it and slams Marxx
head into the ring post. Marxx gets to his feet and manages to get a chair but Young got one of his own as the two men exchange chair shot after chair
shot.

ROB MARTINEZ: The fans wanted blood shed and Marxx and Young have delivered but the question is who is going to come out on top?

COREY TAYLOR: I wonder what is actually in this special sauce?

ROB MARTINEZ: Do you have anything to add to this match, anything at all?

COREY TAYLOR: You should be nicer to me after all I did buy you a McRib.

Marxx and Young have fought their way back into the ring neither man looking their best as this hard fought match has taken it’s toll on both of them.
Marxx seems to get the advantage with a spear followed by a DDT before going for another cover. Jimmie Johnson slides in position and begins the count…
ONE…

THRE…

No Young once again manages to kick out as he kicks himself up and ducks a clothesline from Marxx. Young then captures the momentum with a back cracker.
Followed by the ‘Young Cutter’ onto a what is left of a steel chair. Marxx maybe out as Young once again goes for the cover. Johnson makes the count…
ONE…

TWO…

No somehow Marxx is able to kick out but Young stays on the attack allowing Marxx to get back to his feet just to hit him with a running Yakuza kick to
set up the ‘Shades of Death’. That has got to be it as Jimmie Johnson once again makes the count…

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…

ROB MARTINEZ: Its over! Wow! What a hard fought match! What a win for Young!

COREY TAYLOR: I should have got a side of this special sauce to go with my fries.

ROB MARTINEZ: I give up!

COREY TAYLOR: Is that what your wife said last night?

ROB MARTINEZ: Why you little…

COREY TAYLOR: Your Mcrib is getting cold.

JENNY JERSEY: Here is your winner… THOMAS YOUNG!!!

ROB MARTINEZ: Despite the problems I am having with my partner here, we must move on to the next match. I will do my best to call it by myself.

COREY TAYLOR: And what am I here for, just something pretty to look at?

ROB MARTINEZ: The next match pits a rising Duncan Aries against a new Matthew Kurtis.

COREY TAYLOR: He looks the same to me.

——————————————————————————–

JENNY JERSEY: The following match is set for one fall with a thirty minute time limit, with the winner receiving a spot in the HARDCORE TOURNAMENT when
REBEL Pro presents “Misgivings” in two weeks!

A Perfect Circle blasts from the PA. The crowd gives a mixed reaction, mostly cheers, as Duncan Aries makes his way through the curtain. Eyes hidden behind
shades, Aries looks collected and confident…

JENNY JERSEY: Introducing first, weighing in at two-hundred and thirty-eight pounds… from San Diego California, he is “THE SPADE” DUNCAN ARIES!

Aries hits the ring, ready to go. He takes his shades off and slaps his kickpads, jogging on the spot…

DELICIOUS MEAT LOAF! “The Monster’s Loose” brings out Matthew Kurtis to a rousing ovation. The Southern fans always love their own (unless given a reason
not to, like that jerk Cuzin Zeke). Kurtis only has eyes for Aries as he takes long strides towards the ring.

JENNY JERSEY: And his opponent! Weighing three-hundred and twenty pounds… from Wickliffe, Kentucky, this is “THE BLUEGRASS BADASS” MATTHEW KURTIS!

The huge Kurtis steps over the top rope. Kurtis removes his leather duster and adjusts his wrist tape.

ROB MARTINEZ: This will the be the first ever meeting between Matthew Kurtis and Duncan Aries, but before these two even set foot in the ring it’s become
personal, Taylor. Aries of course coming off a dominating win against Marxx at our last even; the confident “Spade” made some pointed comments over the
past two weeks about Matt Kurtis’ lack of success in REBEL Pro, even going so far as to saying Matt’s career was ‘in the gutter.’

COREY TAYLOR: Martinez, is that really up for debate? I’m not a fan of “The Show,” but fact is that while CHAD Kurtis has won every title REBEL Pro has
to offer, multiple times, over the past two and a half years Matthew Kurtis, one of the original REBEL wrestlers, has exactly… zero championship reigns.
Hell, he’s only had four title shots in that entire time.

ROB MARTINEZ: Matthew Kurtis’ personal demons have derailed his championship aspirations multiple times, there is no doubt about it. It seems that every
time “The Bluegrass Badass” starts picking up wins, something ‘happens’ and all his momentum comes crashing down. I think Aries feels insulted by Matt’s
inability to overcome the big one, frankly.

COREY TAYLOR: It’s not as though Aries is squeaky clean Martinez, he showed up last fall and couldn’t handle REBEL Pro Wrestling. He needs to prove over
the next couple months that he’s for real.

ROB MARTINEZ: No doubt about it, Corey, but one thing is for certain: Aries’ remarks hit Matthew Kurtis right where he lives. This is going to be intense,
edgy and heated…

Referee Jimmy Johnson has checked both wrestlers. He bids them to wait in their corners, and then…

CALLS FOR THE BELL!

DING DING DING!

Duncan Aries and Matthew Kurtis meet in the center of the ring, the six-eleven Kurtis with a notable size advantage over the six-three Aries. Aries doesn’t
appear intimidated by the big Kurtis. The staredown continues, then the two men tie-up! Kurtis easily overpowers Aries and shoves him to the canvas. Aries
gets up to one knee, assessing the turn of events with a nod.

ROB MARTINEZ: “The Spade” well aware he can’t hope to match power with Matthew Kurtis; he’s one of the biggest men on the REBEL roster!

COREY TAYLOR: But it’s been proven in the past that size doesn’t matter, Martinez — not in Matt Kurtis’ case!

ROB MARTINEZ: I’ll leave that one well alone.

Another tie-up, no, Aries ducks underneath and lashes out with a high kick right to Matt’s chest! It connects with a *THUD*. Aries quickly attacking with
martial arts strikes, nailing another one. Matt swings, Aries dodges and this time unleashes a solid kick right to Matt’s thigh.

COREY TAYLOR: That’s it, Aries, go for the damaged leg! Matt Kurtis always wears the brace on that left knee, he might as well paint a target on it!

Matt Kurtis is still standing, though. Aries reaches up to throw a forearm into the side of Matt’s head; he hits the ropes and explodes off with a flying
forearm that rocks Matt, but still can’t put the big man down. Aries with another thigh kick, hits the ropes again, Matt attempts a big boot, Aries ducks
it and rebounds off the opposite side, flies with a crossbody…

And is caught in mid-air! Matt Kurtis has Aries in his grips, delivers a crushing back breaker! He doesn’t release the man, however, raising him up and
delivering another backbreaker. Aries hits the canvas, Matt goes for a cover, only gets one. But now he has control of the smaller man and starts throwing
right hands into Kurtis, cornering him. Johnson wants him to take it out of the corner, but Kurtis knows REBEL rules all too well. He delivers a few big
shots to Aries before finally bringing him out the hard way with a scintillating irish whip! WHAM — The Spade hits the turnbuckles like a shot and then
smashes the canvas from the impact. Kurtis comes in and delivers a leg drop to the back of Aries’ head! Cover, two count only.

ROB MARTINEZ: We’re seeing the story of this match unfold… Aries must use his speed and quickness to stay a step ahead of Kurtis, because if Matt gets
his hands on him, he can do a lot of damage in a short span of time.

COREY TAYLOR: Notice Matt Kurtis going for covers early in this match. Beating up Aries might make him feel a little better for a while, but a WIN is going
to mean a lot more for his career.

ROB MARTINEZ: Too early to expect that three-count but stranger things have happened! Aries expending energy just getting out of those pinning predicaments.
Kurtis cinches on a side headlock, keeping things slowed down. Aries starts throwing elbows to the mid-section, getting enough to escape. A reverse spin
kick to the gut knocks the wind out of Matthew and doubles him over enough for Aries to hit the ropes and deliver a dropkick right to the side of the head!
Matt stumbles, still on his feet, and Aries lets fly another kick. It’s caught by Matt but Aries quickly responds with a twist and a kick from his free
leg, knocking Matt to the ropes. Aries comes off looking for a BIG CROSS BODY THAT SENDS BOTH GUYS TO THE FLOOR!

Aries put his own body on the line there in the name of victory, and now he hits some knees into Matt Kurtis’ face. Irish whip, Matt reverses and sends
The Spade into the guardrail! Aries leaps on top of it, then leaps off — TORNADO DDT TO THE FLOOR! “REBEL REBEL!” Kurtis’ head spiked into the concrete,
Aries took a hard landing himself but clearly is up quicker. He grabs the guardrail and starts stomping on Matt’s leg, working to cut the big man down
to size. The fans are into this match, some chanting “LET’S GO ARIES,” others going “BEE GEE EM! BEE GEE EM!”

Now Aries has the problem of getting the big Matt Kurtis into the ring. He manages to get his man up against the ring apron, but Matt catches him with
a sudden right hand.

COREY TAYLOR: Brawling on the floor with Matthew Kurtis isn’t what I could call sound strategy, Martinez.

ROB MARTINEZ: Aries with the difficult task of forcing three-hundred and twenty pounds of dead weight back into the ring, and if Matthew Kurtis isn’t willing
to go… he isn’t going!

COREY TAYLOR: Kurtis doesn’t seem entirely there, Martinez, that Tornado DDT may have knocked him out momentarily. He looks like he’s on dream street.
Aries connects with a strike of his own but Matt ignores it and nails another big right. He leans back against the ring canvas – he does seem like he’s
having a hard time gathering his wits. Could be a concussion. Aries takes another tack, rolls into the ring… BASEBALL SLIDE to the back of Matt Kurtis’
head! Kurtis stumbles forward, now against the guard rail as Aries goes to the top rope. What’s this? HE FLIES OFF! PLANCHA TO MATT KURTIS! BOTH MEN RIGHT
INTO THE FRONT ROW! “REBEL REBEL!”

Aries gets up, telling fans to move. Matt picks himself up as Aries creates space between the two. He gets a run and leaps for a huracanrana… Matt holds
his balance DIVING POWERBOMB INTO THE CHAIR!

COREY TAYLOR: HAVE A SEAT, ARIES!

ROB MARTINEZ: THIS IS REBEL PRO WRESTLING, FANS!

The crowd is chanting “HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!” Both men are down, Matt holding his knee – he hit it on the concrete hard performing the powerbomb. Aries
groans in the wreckage of the chair. Referee Jimmy Johnson is out to check on both men, but there’s not much he can. No disqualifications, no count-outs
here in REBEL! Each man is moving, Johnson doesn’t see a need to stop the match.

Matt is up and pulls Aries up by his feet, dragging him to the guard rail. He lifts the man up in a GORILLA PRESS — over the guard rail and to the floor!
Matt steps over the guardrail with his long legs and picks Aries up, bundling him into the ring. He rolls in himself as Aries gets to his feet… and locks
in a bearhug!

The Bluegrass Badass squeezing Aries with all his might, doing even more damage to the man’s back. He leans down, underneath Aries’ arms to get even more
leverage. Aries in pain, head tilted back as grunts of pain escape his lips. He tries to get a shot at Matt, but Kurtis wrenches him and squeezes harder.
Aries leans back, and the pain appears to be overcoming him. The lights fade in Aries eyes and he goes limp in Matt’s arms. Jimmy Johnson gets in and raises
Duncan’s arm once…

It drops.

Matt holding on, sweat pouring down his face through sheer intensity. Johnson lifts the arm a second time, it drops again.

ROB MARTINEZ: This may be it! Duncan Aries appears to be out…

COREY TAYLOR: I can’t believe it, Matt Kurtis may win a big match!

Aries’ arm is lifted a third time…

HE HOLDS IT UP! Aries reaching deep down and trying to find the guts to continue! He’s shaking, the split crowd SO LOUD, Aries claps his arms around Matt’s
ears. Matt holds on, another bell clap! A third! Matt still holding on, Aries with a HEADBUTT. And that one staggers Matt enough for Aries to slip out
— THE ACE OF SPADES! ARIES TRYING TO APPLY THE ACE OF SPADES! He has Matt’s arm and around the head, can he force the man down? NO! BACK SUPLEX BY MATT
KURTIS! He covers…

One, two, kick-out!

Matt shakes his head, trying to get the ringing out of his ears. He limps slightly but has the momentum as Aries tries to get to his feet, using the ropes.
Matt sees his opening! Off the ropes, CLOTHESLINE FROM KENTUCKY — ARIES DUCKS IT! ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Matt stunned! Double thrust to the gut doubles Matt
over and Aries hits the ropes… RUNNING AX KICK! CONNECTS! Matt goes down, Aries rolls him over and hooks the leg!

ONE TWO NO!

Aries rolls with the pinfall, taking Matt back over to his belly and LOCKING ON THE ACE OF SPADES! HE’S GOT IT! Kurtis in the middle of the ring, reaching
out as the crowd alternately chants “TAP TAP TAP / PLEASE DON’T TAP”. Aries reaches back, screaming! Matt reaches out, he’s too far from the ropes. WILL
HE TAP? He makes a fist with his free hand, punches the canvas…

the hand comes up, opening! MATT IS LOOKING TO TAP!

No, he balls the fist up again and tries to fight! Matt lurches to the side, trying to change his position. He can’t make it with his hands…but another
lurch gets one of his long legs close enough to hook under the bottom rope.

COREY TAYLOR: It’s not like Aries has to release the hold, he can’t be disqualified.

ROB MARTINEZ: No, but the referee can refuse to acknowledge any decision made in the ropes! Matt Kurtis isn’t tapping out but Aries is going to have to
release the hold if he wants to win.

Aries squeezes some extra pain out of it before releasing the hold. Matt ends up seated in the corner ARIES WITH A RUNNING BOOT! Right to the face! He
drags Matt out of the corner and covers

ONE TWO KICK OUT!

It’s not over yet. Aries leads Matt to his feet, only to whip him to the ropes. Matt hooks on the top rope to stop his momentum. Aries charges, back dropped
over — no, he lands on his feet on the ring apron! Matt swings, Aries ducks and nails a shoulder thrust through the ropes, then climbs the nearest turnbuckle.
Matt stands up tall and looks for Aries — HURACANRANA OFF THE TOP! Connects! Aries mounts the big man and starts raining down punches. A yell to the
crowd informs them that it’s time for THE CULMINATION. Matt slowly gets to his feet, dazed, and Aries attempts to lift him up.

No good, Matt outweighs him by eighty pounds and Aries back is weakened from the course of the match! Aries has to quit, stepping out with his hand on
his back. He turns around

BLUEGRASS MAFIA KICK! Matt Kurtis explodes out of nowhere! Aries smacks the canvas and an exhausted Matt drops over to cover!

ONE TWO THSHOULDER UP!

ROB MARTINEZ: I don’t know if Duncan Aries could lift Matthew Kurtis on his best day but not tonight with the damaged back! Still, this match continues
even after that sick Bluegrass Mafia Kick! These two putting it all on the line here tonight Corey!

COREY TAYLOR: This is what REBEL is all about, Martinez. These guys are wrestling like it’s their last match, a win would mean so much to either man!

Matt Kurtis gets to his feet. Both men are soaked in sweat and worn down, they’ve beat the hell out of each other. Kurtis signals for it… BLUEGRASS BOMB
comin’ up! He positions Aries and flips him upside down — Aries grabs onto Matt’s head with both arms! What’s this? Right hands! Desperation right here!
Aries manages to get off of Matt’s shoulders and deliver a thudding kick right to the chest of Matt! Another one, another, kick right to the braced knee
of Matt, sending the big man down to one knee. Matt vulnerable, Aries measures him. ROUNDHOUSE KICK RIGHT TO THE HEAD — Matt ducks! Aries off-balance!
GOOZLE! CHOKESLAM — ARIES COUNTERS FOR THE ACE OF SPADES! Matt doesn’t go down however, diving into the ropes, sending Aries onto the apron! Both men
getting up, trading blows, Matt getting the upper-hand of the exchange — until Aries hotshots Matt’s neck off the top rope! Aries goes to the top rope,
leaps off for the huracanrana!

But Kurtis stops the momentum halfway through. With a massive show of power he lifts Aries back up, Aries fighting, Matt grabs the trunks and lifts him
even higher!

BLUEGRASS BOMB!

Kurtis reaches over and grabs a leg as Johnson counts!

ONE TWO THREE!

JENNY JERSEY: Here is your winner… MATTHEW KURTIS!

ROB MARTINEZ: We wondered how Matt Kurtis would respond to the jabs of Duncan Aries; would he respond by proving the man right or with fire? I think we
can say that tonight, the fire didn’t flicker, it is lit and burning strong!

COREY TAYLOR: Yeah yeah Martinez, you enjoy your metaphors. But I’ll give credit is due, Matt Kurtis was a warrior tonight; and so was Duncan Aries. There’s
your match of the night right there.

ROB MARTINEZ: No shame in losing like Aries did here tonight, these two beat the living hell out of one another. Aries proved there’s no quit in him, but
he’s not walking out of here with what he really wanted: a win and a spot in the Hardcore Tournament at “Misgivings!” A huge, huge victory for Matthew
Kurtis — and that’s not hyperbole.

——————————————————————————–

Vincent and Zeke walk out to the tune of Lester Flatt and Earl Scrugs’ “The Beverly Hillbillies” theme. The crowd shows them no love as they walk down
the aisle.

JENNY JERSEY: Making their way to the ring at a total combined weight of six hundred and four pounds, representing FTC, VINCENT BLACK AND CUZIN’ ZEKE!
Zeke shakes a few hands as Vincent just walks on to the ring.

“Oddities” by ICP hits the speakers and from the back to a huge ovation and alot of “Miss You” signs comes The Freak and Shut Down.

JENNY JERSEY: And introducing their opponents at a total combined weight of five hundred pounds even, The Freak and Shut Down… THE FREAK SHOW!

The Freak hands out anatomically correct dolls ofhimself as Shut Down does the same. Some of their other hand-outs include the t-shirts from their match
against Scottie Snow and The Phoenix, the Beth Phoenix dolls as well as the Al Snow dolls. Shut Down hands out the La Reina dolls, these are now collectors
items because she has been revealed to be Wild Chilled. The fans are glad for the gifts, and are sad to see Freak and Shut Down go. A chant of “Freak Show”
erupts in the crowd as the crowd gives back to these two men the only way they can, Freak and Shut Down stop for a moment and look out into the crowd.
They step up the steps and into the ring.

DING DING

All four men are in the ring, neither backing down from the other. Vincent is mouthing off to Shut Down while Freak and Zeke are mouthing off to each other;
referee Alan Stone is trying to get one man from each team to start off the match. Freak and Zeke decide to start off the match against each other.

ROB MARTINEZ: And we’re off.

COREY TAYLOR: Rob, you should be called Mr. Obvious, you know that?

Freak with a double leg takedown, he begins a ground and pound technique. On the mat everyone is the same height and Freak is using his MMA skills to his
advantage as he locks Zeke in a triangle choke submission hold. Zeke fights back from the hold to land back on Freak, effectively breaking the choke. Freak
immediately bounces back up to his feet diving at Zeke’s left leg, Zeke sidesteps the move to pound a forearm into Freak’s back. Freak hits the canvas,
Zeke with a leg drop on the back of his neck. Zeke rolls the former Rebel Pro Tag Team Champion over onto his back, Zeke drops an elbow onto empty space
as Freak rolls out of the way and up to his feet. Freak dives for another leg shot, but Zeke avoids it once again, but Freak spins immediately catching
Zeke in the back of the knee with a Mui Tai kick that sends him down to one knee. Freak with a side headlock and a left fist into his upturned face. Zeke

the ring.

takes Mikey down. Chad rolls back up and Chad is now just toying with Mikey, but Mikey knows this so he rolls out of the ring. Mikey heads over to the
table where his title belt is, after grabbing it, he begins to head backstage.

ROB MARTINEZ: What does he think he is doing.

COREY TAYLOR: Most people call it… leaving. What a concept huh?

Mikey is halfway up the ramp, pointing to his head and smiling, as Chad just merely stands in the ring, a calm expression on his face. Jimmy Johnson is
up to a count of five when…

“I’m A Rebel” hits the speakers and from the back comes Rebel Pro Owner, Larry Gordon with a microphone in his hand. Mikey’s chin drops down to his chest,
before a look of anger crosses his features.

LARRY GORDON: Mikey meh boy, I failed to mention that when I agreed to this stipulation of your’s that if you get counted out… you lose the Rebel Pro
Heavyweight Championship. Just call it an old man’s oversight.

COREY TAYLOR: Rob may kiss your butt, but I ain’t. What gives you the right to do that to Mikey?

LARRY GORDON: Corey, the fact that I am the owner and you would do well to remember that.

Rob snickers into his microphone as the match inside the ring is picking up some intensity. Chad has Mikey up for a vertical suplex, he drops Mikey on
his head instead, he covers the current Rebel Pro Champ.

COREY TAYLOR: I guess he countered somehow.

LARRY GORDON: I sense something fishy, but I didn’t see anything.

Chad is holding at his crotch in obvious pain and Mikey is spitting from his mouth, wiping the taste of something out of his mouth. Oh My God, he bit Chad’s
crotch, he bit Chad’s crotch. Corey Taylor is laughing himself to death as Rob and Larry Gordon are sickened at the thought of how low, literally, Mikey
will go for a victory.

feet on the ropes and shaking his head. He motions for Jenny to come over here, he swhispers something into her lovely ear before she brings the mic to
her lips. Larry removes his hands from Mikey’s feet before heading back to the announce table.

match continue.

there holding his foot, but Mikey is tangled in the ropes. Chad springs to the middle rope, before flipping himself over the top to come down with a leg

ROB MARTINEZ: But Corey, the next match is one that is a year in the making.

COREY TAYLOR: Really?

ROB MARTINEZ: Yes ever since Rex hired Bubba J, these two began butting heads almost immediately.

——————————————————————————–

ROB MARTINEZ: What the…? I’m receiving word from backstage that neither Bubba J or Rexy are backstage!

COREY TAYLOR: I know for a fact Bubba is here! We shared the better part of a twelve-pack for lunch.

ROB MARTINEZ: Well, I don’t know, we were all expecting this match to go on tonight after it being promised week after week. I don’t know what to say!
COREY TALOR: Caliber probably got cold feet.

ROB MARTINEZ: Not exactly sure what to do, this is legit, folks, we figured the next match would go the better part of thirty minutes, not sure how we
are going to fill the time.

COREY TALOR: I have a few ideas–

ROB MARTINEZ: –wait a second! Coming through the crowd? Is that?

Bubba takes the padding off of one of the turnbuckles! He grabs Rex and throws his head into the exposed turnbuckle… no! Rex with a drop toe hold that
sends Bubba into the metal! He gets on top of Bubba and punches away, not allowing the squirming Redneck to go anywhere. Now he’s taking the white tape
off of his fist. He picks up Bubba’s head and is ramming his fist into it! The crowd loves it! He gets off of Bubba… whose forehead is bloody!

COREY TAYLOR: Disqualify Rex!

Rex waits for Bubba to get to his feet. Bubba uses the ropes to get to his feet. Rex runs in for a Superkick, ducked by Bubba! Bubba clotheslines Rex over
the top-rope! Rex falls to the outside. Bubba wipes the blood from his eyes and forehead. He goes through the ropes and stands on the ring apron as Rex
gets to his feet. Flying clothesline! Bubba grabs a steel chair and raises it high in the air, eliciting boos from the crowd. Rex gets to his feet…

CRACK!

Rex falls to one knee. Bubba winds up, swings it… caught by Rex! He stands, swings it at Bubba, ducked! Bubba with an atomic drop! He grabs the chair
from Rex. Swings it… Superkick from Caliber into the chair into Bubba! Rex takes a moment to catch his breath and tend to his groin. He grabs the Redneck
and tries to roll him into the ring. But Bubba manages to rake the eyes of Rex! Bubba staggers from the ring, knowing Rex could easily pin him if he rolled
him in. Rex follows him, grabs him and tries to roll him in—Bubba with a headbutt! Rex staggers back, forward… right into a Big Boot! Bubba grabs the
chair as Rex gets to his feet…

CRACK!

Rex sent crashing into the barricade with a dazed look on his face, blood trickling down his forehead Bubba reaches under the ring… he pulls out two
tables! He sets one up. Then the other. Here comes Rex. They exchange punches. Bubba takes the advantage with a series of rights and lefts. He picks up
Rex, scoop and a slam! Picks him back up… flapjack on the barricade! Rex’s neck hits the barricade and he bounces back, holding his throat. Bubba grabs
Rex. He’s going to powerbomb him through one of the tables! NO! Rex lifts Bubba up with his head and dumps him over the barricade into the crowd! Bubba
gets to his feet but not before Rex can pick up the steel chair… chair huck!

CRACK!

Bubba staggering through the crowd as security holds the fans back. Rex climbs up onto the ring apron and through the ropes. Off of the ropes and through
them, into the crowd… HEAT-SEEKING MISSILE FROM THE 245 POUND SHITHAMMER OF DESTRUCTION!

elbow to Rex’s head. Bubba with a lariat, ducked… Release German suplex on the CEMENT! He picks up Bubba. He drags him toward the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: Rex trying to bring it into the ring where he can end the match!

COREY TAYLOR: Give the fans more! They—er—they deserve it!

Bubba breaks Rex’s grip. Fist! Fist! Rex staggers back. Boot to the gut of Rex. Uppercut! Rex continues to stagger backwards. Bubba grabs him but Rex fires
back with a headbutt! Side elbow! Karate chop! Karate chop! Rolling elbow! Bubba tries to maintain standing. Rex climbs up three steps. Cross body block!
NO! Caught by Bubba! Press slam to the hard cement! Bubba grabs Rex… CATAPULT INTO EMPTY CHAIRS!

Rex lies amidst several chairs. Bubba, meanwhile, is setting chairs up in the cement circle security cleared away. He sets up six of them all next to each
other! Now he’s laying closed chairs on top of those ones!

ROB MARTINEZ: What the hell is Bubba J building?

COREY TAYLOR: A fort, dipstick!

Bubba walks over to Rex who is trying to get to his feet. He drags Rex onto the Fortress of Chairs! He is going for a PILEDRIVER! NO! Rex kicks his legs
free! Rex and Bubba exchanging punches. Rex with a kick to the gut. He hoists Bubba into a fireman’s carry… DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! …NO! Bubba elbows
out of it and gets down! Kick to the gut… BUBBA PILEDRIVES REX THROUGH THE FORTRESS OF CHAIRS!

ROB MARTINEZ: WHAT MAYHEM!

COREY TAYLOR! This match should be falls count anywhere!

ROB MARTINEZ: Well, even if it was, I don’t think Bubba is in any shape to be making a pinfall! Both men are lying on the cement!

Bubba gets to his feet first and drags Rex behind him towards the ring. He is going to roll Rex into the ring… but no! He decides he’d rather make use
of the tables he set up earlier! He sets Rex up for the power bomb through a table! He hoists him up! Rex is punching at the head of Bubba… Reversed
into Rexscissors! Bubba flips onto the unforgiving ground. Bubba to his feet… but Rex springs off of the ring apron with a Pele kick! Bubba is dazed

NO! NO!

FOOT ON THE ROPE!

Bubba is cursing up a storm, totally bullshit about Rex’s foot being on the bottom rope. He picks Rex up, Irish whips him into the corner! Rex hits hard.
Bubba runs in for a splash. Rex manages to get a leg up! Rex hops onto the second turnbuckle… flying bulldog! Both men slowly climb to their feet, Bubba
finding solace in the corner. Rex runs in with a flying knee that nails Bubba! Now he’s putting him up top again, going for the Total Annihilation! But
again Bubba is fighting it! They both climb up the top-turnbuckle, exchanging punches, neither able to gain the advantage! Each becomes woozy, their punches
slower and less effective. Finally their fists find the other’s head… and they BOTH FALL THROUGH THE TABLES AT RINGSIDE!

THIS IS AWE-SOME! THIS IS AWE-SOME! THIS IS AWE-SOME! THIS IS AWE-SOME!

ROB MARTINEZ: Oh my god! This match may have to be called! We may have to reschedule this bout… again!

COREY TAYLOR: Bubba would clearly win on the points.

ROB MARTINEZ: Maybe, maybe, but as it stands, but we don’t have points and both men are out cold!

Finally both men begin stirring. Without looking at the other, they each roll into the ring, staggering around as if they have no idea where they are or
what they are supposed to do. Bubba finds Rex’s head with his fist. Rex returns the favor. Back and forth. Back and forth! Neither man falls, each just
taking turns punching the other! Bubba blocks a punch. Punch to Rex! Punch to Rex! Rex stumbles back, Bubba Irish whips him, reversed by Rex! Bubba off
of the ropes, Rex catches him with a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! COVER!

PUNCHES! PUNCHES! MORE PUNCHES! Bubba stands up, giving the dual middle fingers to all of the booing fans. He waits for Rex to stand. Kick to the gut.
TRAILER PARK TRASH! COVER!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

THAT’S IT!

COREY TAYLOR: Bubba J once again proves he is the best wrestler REBEL has EVER seen!

ROB MARTINEZ: What a moment in REBEL history, what a match!

The fans begin applauding the match. Bubba gets to his feet, looking out at the fans, giving him applause for the first time in over a year. He nods solemnly
and looks down as Rex tries to get to his feet. He extends a hand to Rex. Rex shakes his head, not willing to risk another Trailer Park Trash. Rex gets
up to his own two feet and stares across the ring at Bubba.

THANK YOU BOTH! THANK YOU BOTH! THANK YOU BOTH! THANK YOU BOTH!

Slowly, almost reluctantly, Bubba extends a hand. Rex looks confused but steps forward. Slowly, almost reluctantly, he shakes Bubba’s hand. They hold up
each other’s arms as the fans enthusiastically applaud.

COREY TAYLOR: BUBBA! What are you DOING! TRAILER PARK TRASH! Send Rex a message to NEVER come back here again!

ROB MARTINEZ: It looks like Bubba respects the match Rex gave him! And vice versa!

COREY TAYLOR: This happy shit makes me sick! What’s next—are we going to get a television deal on ABC Family? Maybe Lifetime? Give me a BREAK!

Rex Caliber and Bubba J make their way down the aisle, nodding their appreciation at the wildly applauding and cheering fans.
