The REBEL Arena is packed, sold the hell out! Fans across the area are packed into bars like Hardcore Drinking, or watching from the REBEL Underground on
a big screen. We see guys like El Rey de Corazones, and Mikey Massacre giving autographs. The fans are starting to go crazy with anticipation. Rob Martinez
enters the ring and brings a microphone.

***DVD EXTRA***

A long, black limo slowly pulls up out front of the REBEL Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. The front bumper and grill seem to be duct taped back together
and a large dent is visible in the dark night with the lights from inside. A large, long-haired man steps out from the driver’s side door and walks back
to the back of the limo. After he quickly opens the door, Chris Sparx steps out of the limo dressed in a black, three-piece suit. After him is Mark Kingston,
dressed in his usual ring attire, complete with his bullet-proof vest. Cristal, Mark’s girlfriend and valet, follows behind him, looking ravishing. The
three slowly pile out and stop when the limo driver pulls out a red carpet piece and lays it out in front of them. A few stains are visible on the carpet.
CHRIS SPARX: Ah, it is nice to be treated like a star every once in a while.

MARK KINGSTON: Your damn right, Chris. I could get used to this.

The driver swiftly retrieves a Polaroid camera from the limo and begins taking pictures of the trio, then shakes the pictures and hands them to Cristal.
CRISTAL: Damn, I look good tonight.

MARK KINGSTON: You sure do. How about we give our audience a little bit of strut tonight, guys?

At Mark’s motion, the trio begins strutting towards the front door, the limo driver still snapping pictures of them. A few smokers glance their way, but
continue on when the trio walk past them.

CHRIS SPARX: Tonight is our night. REBEL has put us down in the past alone, but together we are a force to be reckoned with. An apocalypse of all those
who oppose us is here.

CRISTAL: It all starts tonight.

MARK KINGSTON: We’re the soldiers and their the aliens, time to meet their maker.

CHRIS SPARX: Let’s go…

Chris reaches for the door, but stops when the limo peels out of the parking lot towards Cracker Barrel. He continues on when he screeching stops and the
others follow him in.

——————————————————————————–

JENNY JERSEY: It is now time for the Double Debut Match!

“Refuse To Be Denied” by Anthrax cues up as Ca$h emerges from the curtain. Some of the REBEL fans who are long-time NAPW fans remember his stint up north
but for the most part people are unsure how to react to him. He seemed like a dick in his promos, so there are some scattered boos.

JENNY JERSEY: Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing two-hundred and forty-six pounds… CA$H!

ROB MARTINEZ: Ca$h is a former Provincial Champion in NAPW. He defeated a former REBEL wrestler, Jeff James, to win that title. He is no slouch, and has
some experience for sure. Nothing better than watching two man fight who have very little knowledge of what the man is capable of right now.

Anthrax fades out. Then Scotland The Brave hits REBEL’s mediocre-at-best speaker system. MacCulloch emerges, holding a bottle of Scotch, two shot glasses
and a thick envelope. The Scots in the crowd pop immediately, but the rest are unsure what to make of the REBEL rookie. There are Internet rumors he is
a bit of a drunk and made a fool of himself at a party at the Steele Dojo, so the smarts in the crowd cheer, proud they are in-the-know.

JENNY JERSEY: His opponent, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing two-hundred and thirty-six pounds… “The Celtic Legend” MACCULLOCH!

ROB MARTINEZ: I have no past story on this man, just the same info everyone else in the audience has, and that’s just what the man himself told us. He looks
to be very thick, a build of a shorter stocky man. Men built like that can become wrecking balls when they hit you, having a lower center of gravity.

The bell rings as the two new members of REBEL’s roster walk toward the center of the ring. Eight inches separate the two competitors as they stand toe-to-toe,
eyeing down each other. Ca$h smirks, looking down at MacCulloch. MacCulloch pushes Ca$h and Ca$h nearly falls down—it might be eight inches of height,
but it’s only ten pounds of weight! Ca$h lunges forward at MacCulloch but MacCulloch responds with a drop toe hold! He’s immediately going for a Boston
crab, maybe sending a message to the Boston-born Ca$h, or maybe just trying to weaken his legs in the early moments of the match.

ROB MARTINEZ: The Celtic Legend is looking aggressive here, and is looking to weaken Ca$h early on.

But Ca$h is far too experienced to fall for a crab that early on. He rolls through and applies an ankle lock to MacCulloch. MacCulloch spins around and
kicks him away. He jumps to his feet as Ca$h runs off of the ropes. Thesz press! No! MacCulloch catches him. Belly-to-belly suplex to the big man. But
Ca$h lands on his feet! And catches MacCulloch in a neckbreaker! MacCulloch is in the middle of the ring, holding his neck as Ca$h smirks arrogantly at
the crowd. The fans are beginning to get behind MacCulloch, both because he’s the underdog and because Ca$h just seems like the type of

guy they all love
to hate.

ROB MARTINEZ: Very good reversal there. Ca$h demonstrating some major agility. This match is a real toss up still.

Ca$h decides to show MacCulloch how to apply a Boston crab. He’s got it locked out in the middle of the ring, really working on the legs. But MacCulloch
has an abundance of heart and isn’t even thinking of tapping. Instead, he’s pushing his body up and crawling towards the ropes. REBEL Rules won’t enforce
a rope break, but the ropes do provide a great deal of leverage and that’s what MacCulloch is looking for. He is about to grab the bottom rope when Ca$h
decides to drag him back to the center of the ring!

ROB MARTINEZ: Major experience being shown here. Ca$h is letting up, and his the Scot in big trouble.

Ca$h really cinching the lock, trying to wear down the legs of his opponent. MacCulloch is shaking his head back and forth, refusing to even consider tapping.
He pushes his body up… and he rolls through! Into an ankle lock! He learned that move from Ca$h earlier! MacCulloch is adapting to his opponent, learning
as he goes. MacCulloch shouts to the crowd, trying to drum up some support… and looks like he is getting it! Ca$h, meanwhile, is crawling towards the ropes.
He gets to them. MacCulloch, either out of respect or from being use to the standard rules, lets go of the ankle. He drags Ca$h into the middle of the
ring. And he’s going up top as Ca$h tries to stand up, favoring his ankle. Ca$h turns around just as MacCulloch flies through the air with a flying double
axhandle to the back of the former NAPW Provincial champ! Ca$h is back to the ground and MacCulloch is soaking up the cheers of some newfound fans!

ROB MARTINEZ: The crowd is loving this man right now. Or maybe they just really dislike the cocky Ca$h! Who knows?

Ca$h gets to his feet slowly as MacCulloch gets behind him… dragon sleeper! Ca$h trying to run away from it but MacCulloch has it locked in! Ca$h is yelling,
calling MacCulloch all kinds of vulgarities. But now he is quieting down, fighting to keep his eyes open. The ref goes to raise one of his arms but Ca$h
springs to life, gets behind MacCulloch… German suplex! Rolling style! He gets MacCulloch up a second time… another German! And then he caps it with a
beautiful release that sends the REBEL newcomer damn near across the entire ring. He looks out at the beginning-to-boo fans and gives them another reason
to boo with a middle ringer and a jerkoff motion.

ROB MARTINEZ: I hope Ca$h isn’t banking on selling merchandise with that type attitude.

Ca$h wants to get to the top of REBEL and he doesn’t care what the fans think of him along the way. If they want to boo him, so be it! He’s going to the
outside now and grabbing a steel chair. Time to welcome MacCulloch to REBEL! As MacCulloch is using the ropes to pull himself up, Ca$h chops at the back
of his knee with the steel chair. Then brings it down across the knee! He tosses the chair to the side, then drags MacCulloch toward the middle. Time for
a figure four to the knee! The steel chair was a great set-up to this move. What a debut for Ca$h if he can get MacCulloch to tap in the middle of the
ring to the move made famous by North Carolina’s very own Ric Flair!

ROB MARTINEZ: Ca$h is really trying to stick it to this crowd, in the heart of Flair Country. The brash young man seems to get off on embarrassing people!
He has it locked in and MacCulloch looks like he is in a world of pain! He’s hollering, trying to drag himself toward a rope, but can’t seem to get very
far! But he sees the chair… it’s a lot closer than the ropes. He begins pivoting toward it. Ca$h sees what he’s going for and releases the hold. As MacCulloch
tries to stand on his wounded knee, Ca$h runs over to the chair, picks it up, and brings it down across the skull of MacCulloch! WELCOME TO REBEL!

Ca$h makes a cover!

One! Two! Thr—NO DICE!

ROB MARTINEZ: What a shot from Ca$h! He is adapting well in this No Holds Barred environment.

Ca$h yells at the referee, then stands up, grabbing the chair. He wraps MacCulloch’s leg in it. And stomps on it once! TWICE! Thr—NO! MacCulloch rolls out
of the way! And he rolls all of the way out of the ring! He untangles the chair from his leg as Ca$h chases him. On one leg, he HUCKS the chair right at
Ca$h who falls to the cement!

ROB MARTINEZ: The fans have them a new hero in this building and he is the Celtic Legend!

Some chants are starting up. It’s that phase in the beginning of a young popular wrestler’s career when the fans are debating what exactly to chant. While
‘ MacCulloch’ is quite popular, there are a few ‘ MacCulloch Daddy’s, some ‘Monster Mac’s, and even one or two ‘Celtic Legend’s.

MacCulloch hobbles towards the announcing table where he left his bottle of scotch and two shot glasses. He pours two shots, one for himself and one for
Rob Martinez. Bottoms up! Ca$h is back to his feet and charging. But the limp is now gone! MacCulloch charges forward and clotheslines him to the hard
cement! He is yelling at Ca$h, daring him to stand up and face him. Ca$h, a look of incredible anger on his face, rises. Only to meet the boot of MacCulloch…
and a facebuster on the cement! MacCulloch rolls Ca$h into the ring and follows him in. Cover!

One! Two! Thr—NO! The experienced Ca$h kicks out!

ROB MARTINEZ: So close, but Ca$h is showing some true grit right now.

MacCulloch looks a little frustrated. He thought he had him right there. He’s yelling at Ca$h, challenging him to stand up again. Ca$h is shaking off the
effects of the facebuster but is slowly standing. MacCulloch with another kick to the gut. He makes the cutthroat signal… time for the Celtic Burial! But
no! Ca$h charges forward with a BIG lariat sending MacCulloch spinning through the air! He is struggling, but manages to pull MacCulloch up by his head…
headscissors. Power bomb! And a cover!

One! Two! Thr—NO! NO! MacCulloch kicks out of the BIG powerbomb!

ROB MARTINEZ: Now MacCulloch shows some damn guts. These men don’t wanna go home tonight a loser.

Ca$h is soaking up the boos of the fans, smirking cockily at them as he waits for MacCulloch to stand. MacCulloch gets to his feet, clearly woozy from the
powerbomb. Ca$h grabs him… Diamond Driver ’06! NO! NO! MacCulloch reverses into the Celtic Burial! And falls on top of Ca$h, perhaps unknowingly.

One! Two! THREE! Kickout but it’s a nanosecond too late! MacCulloch wins the Double Debut match!

JENNY JERSEY And the winner is… “THE CELTIC LEGEND” MACCULLOCH!

The fans have decided on a chant. MacCulloch! MacCulloch! MacCulloch! MacCulloch! MacCulloch! A lot of the REBEL fans are really getting behind him! Now
MacCulloch is going toward the announce table as Ca$h argues about the pinfall with the referee. He’s opening the envelope he brought to the ring. Inside
is… CASH! And he’s distributing it to members of the crowd, yelling about how the victory was worth “every penny!” He goes over to Rob and offers him a
drink of Scotch. Rob turns him down, but a few fans at ringside are more than happy to drink along.

***DVD EXTRA***

Chad Kurtis is sitting in his locker-room putting the finishing touches on his ring-gear when there’s a knock on the door to his locker-room…

CHAD: Come in.

Chad’s brother Matthew Kurtis,Jonothan Kurtis, and Lyndsey Valentine walk in the room. Chad gets up to give each of his brothers them a “bro hug” and gives
Lyndsey a hug as well..

CHAD: Good to see you Matt, Jon, Lynds.

JONOTHAN: Good to see you, bro.

MATTHEW: How’s it going champ?

LYNDSEY: Nice to see you again,Sugar.

CHAD: I ain’t a champ right now. I saw your promo Matt. I was impressed by the fact that you’d be so open about your problems after asking me not to talk
about until you came back.

MATTHEW: Well I wasn’t ready to reveal my problems but now I am. That’s all there is to it. Right now I’m gearing up for next week and my and Jonny’s return
to the ring.

CHAD: I understand that. I’ve got a tough match tonight myself.

JONOTHAN: Yeah Blood’s tough.

CHAD: Don’t I know but I’m pretty sure I’ve got his number. But after this match I can concentrate on my self declared mission to break the hold that the
Extreme Elite has over REBEL.

MATTHEW: Yeah we know Chad the that’s why we stopped by to tell you that you know you can on us to have your back in your fight with if you need us. And
you don’t even have to ask.

CHAD: I know that Matt that’s why I haven’t bothered to ask for your help I knew you’d be there to back me up.

JONOTHAN: You know it bro J-Kurt and the Big Cat Daddy got your back and that goes for Kryenik as well.

At that time SBK himself comes around the corner…

BILLY: Surprise! The Captain and I got your back, no questions asked!

Billy holds up the Captain like a prized trophy and gives him to Chad. Chad grabs hold of him and gives him a few pets.

LYNDSEY: Cute bunny, Sugar.

BILLY: Smartest rabbit in the land! But Chad, don’t you worry. If The Extreme Elite decide to strike sometime tonight, I have several eating utensils with
their names on them! Ha Ha Ha!

Lyndsey steps closer to Matthew Kurtis, and Billy grabs The Captain and walks out of the room.

MATTHEW: Well on that note we’re out of here Chad, good luck in your match and don’t worry like we said we got your back.

JONOTHAN: Yeah later bro.

Lyndsey waves as the BGM leaves Chad to gather his thoughts before his match with Blood.

——————————————————————————–

JENNY JERSEY: The following contest is one fall, and is for the REBEL World Tag Team Championship!

“Highway to Hell” blares through the PA system. The fans begin their ritualistic HATE that comes out when any member of the Extreme Elite enters the arena.
HATE! They make sure to show all the fans their belts. Shoe even goes as far as pretending to slap a fan making the fan flinch. They enter the ring with
a major swagger.

JENNY JERSEY: Introducing first… they are members of the Extreme Elite. They weigh in at a combined weight of five hundred seven pounds… the current
reigning and defending REBEL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD… THE GREAT ALASKAN NINJAS!

ROB MARTINEZ: The tag team champions are looking to become the greatest Tag Team to ever enter REBEL. And with a win-loss record that no team in REBEL could
ever hold a candle too, it seems that if they keep winning, they will definitely become just that.

“All Right Now” by Free and an angered Mikey Massacre hits the aisle way. The fans cheer big time as Mikey beelines to the ring. Mikey enters the ring,
and the rage in his eyes is blood curdling. Shoe and Inferno don’t wait for any introduction of their opponents. Mikey sees them charge and takes down
Inferno with a Lou Thesz Press. Shoe picks Mikey up from behind and turns him around for a wicked DDT! Mikey’s music stops finally. Nick Everhardt is still
in the back.

ROB MARTINEZ: This match hasn’t even began yet! The Ninjas are trying to gain a big time advantage over Massacre and Everhardt.

“Heretics & Killers” by Protest the Hero begins to play, and out comes Nick. He looks down to the ring, and hit’s a 4.24 forty to the ring. He was moving
Jack. As he slides in, the bell sounds and Shoe lays in a boot. Inferno with a knee drop to the back of Everhardt’s head. Alan Stone is going to have his
hands full in this one. Shoe picks up Everhardt and slams him hard to the mat. Inferno is wailing on the scarred up forehead of Mikey Massacre. Mikey is
kicked to the outside. Inferno to the top rope… LEAPS TO THE OUTSIDE AND… MISSES A BIG DIVING HEADBUTT! Mikey gets his head together, and begins choking
the life out of Inferno. Everhardt is in the ring and receives a Big Standing Elbow Drop from Shoe. Shoe sees that Mikey is choking the hell out of Inferno,
probably in a blind rage after the attacks on his students.

ROB MARTINEZ: Mikey looks like a parent out there trying to get revenge on someone who hurt his kids. This man is total rage tonight, and it looks like
he isn’t in a match, but in a real life fight.

Shoe lands a big clubbing Double Axe handle to the back of Mikey. Everhardt is to his feet. Shoe is laying in the boots to Mikey, who is still trying to
choke Inferno. Everhardt hits the far ropes, charges! SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES. Shoe got his clock cleaned! Everhardt is up, and the crowd goes crazy.
Mikey is looking for something. He grabs a Stop Sign that a fan has conveniently brought to the REBEL Arena. Inferno looks up and sees a Mikey with a sign.
KICK TO MIKEY’S LEFT KNEE! Mikey falls face first onto the sign. Everhardt is working over Shoe, Irish Whipping him into the Guard Rail. Inferno grabs
up Mikey… DDT, REVERSED! NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX ON THE FLOOR! Everhardt charges with a possible splash. Shoe moves, Everhardt adjusts… jumping on to
the railing. Shoe taps his head, but turns around

and eats a SPINNING WHEEL KICK FROM EVERHARDT, OFF THE RAILING! Inferno and Massacre rise, and Inferno
enters the ring. Mikey grabs a table, and bringing the fight to Inferno. He slides the table in. Inferno backs up, then gets on his knees as Massacre comes
toward him. Inferno is begging Mikey for forgiveness. Mikey looks confused, but in that instant… LOW BLOW FROM INFERNO!

ROB MARTINEZ: Mikey got sucked in, Inferno confusing a very unstable man. Right now, Everhardt and Mikey look like two men fighting. The Ninjas look like
a “team”.

Shoe is in a world of pain, cause on the outside, Everhardt has locked in the TEXAS CLOVERLEAF 3000! Inferno is on the outside now, and clotheslines Everhardt
off Shoe. Inferno gets Everhardt up and throws him into the ring post! Everhardt smacks it hard. Massacre and Everhardt can’t seem to gain any advantage.
Shoe is still down, and Inferno goes back inside the squared circle. Mikey is up though, and he boots Inferno in the head. Mikey gets Inferno up and hooks
him in the Katahajime! Wait… it’s not for a choke out, it’s for the MANNY SUPLEX! Mikey batters the downed Inferno with a few good shots with his elbows.
Mikey goes for the first pin of the match.

ONE!

TWO!

SHOE GRABS MIKEY’S LEG FROM THE OUTSIDE, PULLING HIM OFF!

ROB MARTINEZ: A near fall, but no cigar. Shoe was there to make the huge title keeping save.

Shoe is in the ring, still favoring his back. He lays a well placed boot to the head of Mikey. Inferno is helped up…they dance a bit, gaining a chorus
of boos. A JIVING DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Everhardt is in the ring, chair in hand. Shoe gets up and doesn’t see Everhardt.. until he turns around! THE CHAIR
IS CHUCKED AT THE SEXY SHOE! Steel clashes with the good looking Shoe and blood streams from his head. Inferno charges at Everhardt, getting caught with
a drop toe hold. He grabs up Inferno… WELCOME TO HOUSTON MOTHER FUCKER! Everhardt with his buttery fly suplex to backbreaker combination. The cover!
ONE!

TWO!

SHOE WITH THE SAVE!

ROB MARTINEZ: Another huge save from Shoe. They are working well, and definitely have each others back.

Mikey is up and jumps on the back of Shoe, he’s clubbing him from behind with shot after shot. Mikey doesn’t seem to care about winning, losing his ring
strategy to more of a inflicting punishment mentality. Mikey grabs the legs of Shoe, and he is doing HIS version of the Cloverleaf, the NEW MEXICAN CLOVERLEAF!
Shoe is already favoring his back from Everhardt’s elevated version. Inferno is still down, as Everhardt takes Inferno to the corner. He slaps him across
the chest, and a WHOOO bounces off the walls of the Arena. Inferno gets hooked for an Exploder Suplex, but holds onto the ropes. Everhardt is holding his
shoulder now, releasing the move quickly. He tried to lift Inferno, but with him hooking the ropes, Everhardt might have strained something. Inferno gets
on the second turnbuckle…hooks Everhardt, and TORNADO DDT!

ROB MARTINEZ: A huge move to Everhardt… but Shoe is about to lose the belts for his team.

Shoe is about to tap out in the middle of the ring. Mikey has had the Cloverleaf on for a while now. Shoe is raising his hand and..

INFERNO CLUBS MIKEY!

Everhardt is getting up, and Inferno has the steel chair that busted open Shoe. He blasts Everhardt with it! Everhardt goes down, but gets up a few seconds
later. ANOTHER SHOT! Everhardt is knocked out and rolls to the outside. Inferno is caught from behind by Mikey. ATOMIC DROP FOLLOWED BY A BULLDOG! Mikey
goes for the cover, but is nailed from behind by a hurting Shoe. Shoe hit’s a float over DDT! Inferno is getting up, and sets up the table. Inferno goes
up top… Mikey is grabbed up by Shoe. SLINGSHOT SUPLEX THROUGH THE TABLE! BACKDRAFT! YOU CAN DO NOOOTTTHING!

ROB MARTINEZ: Will that put Mikey away? We have seen him come back from other big time finishers!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

JENNY JERSEY: The winners of the match, and still REBEL World Tag Team Champions… THE GREAT ALASKAN NINJAS!

REBEL’s Trauma team comes out and checks on Everhardt. The Ninjas spit on Mikey and show him the World Tag belts up close in personal, knocking them into
the head of Mikey. The fans boo the hell out of them, but they don’t care. They’re the champs baby!

——————————————————————————–

***DVD EXTRA***

“Alcohol” by Dropkick Murphys blares through the speakers as from the back, wearing his REBEL Pro World Heavyweight Title belt, comes Bubba J The Ragin’
Redneck.

ROB MARTINEZ: What in the hell is he doing out here?

Bubba J walks down to the ring as the crowd gives him a shower consisting of boos and jeers; he doesn’t seem to mind. With a smirk on his face he slides
into an empty seat beside Rob Martinez.

BUBBA J: Don’t look so surprised to see me out here.

ROB MARTINEZ: But why are you out here?

BUBBA J: Bout damn time there was some good commentary. Besides, I have some interest in this next match.

ROB MARTINEZ: What kind of interest?

BUBBA J: Shut the hell up and stay out of my business.

The Show stands outside of his locker room door, ready to make his way towards the ring as a little boy approaches with a picture in hand. The boy is wearing
a Chad Kurtis t-shirt and has a big smile on his face.

BOY: Can I get your autograph Show?

THE SHOW: Of course, kid. What’s your name?

BOY: Kyle.

THE SHOW: Well, Kyle. The Show is going to do his best to make my next match here the best that you’ve seen!

As “The Show” grabs the marker and starts signing his name on the picture, he is suddenly attacked from behind by Blood. The little boy tries to move out
of the way but finds himself trapped against the wall watching in disbelief as Blood tackles Kurtis to the ground. Blood picks “The Show” up, and still
not seeing little Kyle, is about to slam him into the wall when El Rey approaches and grabs Blood by the shoulder, spinning him around.

EL REY: ¿Qué usted le piensa está haciendo? ¡Usted casi dañó a ese niño! ¡Si usted tiene un problema con alguien usted debe llevarlo el anillo de lucha
no aquí donde una persona presente inocente podría conseguir lastimada!

SUBTITLES: What the Hell do you think you are doing? You almost injured that child! If you have a problem with someone you should take it to the wrestling
ring not here where an innocent bystander could get hurt!

El Rey turns toward the boy who is crouched down behind him, urging the child to flee as Blood stands there enraged. Suddenly El Rey finds himself shoved
against the wall, Blood’s staff pressed against his throat.

BLOOD: I don’t understand a single word that you said, but I’m hoping you can understand mine, El Rey. Stay out of my way, or you’re going to get hurt.
Blood smirks, but is hit from behind by Kurtis. Blood releases El Rey as he stumbles forward and drops his staff. Chad grabs Blood by the head and slams
him face first in to the wall. El Rey looks down at the staff as he catches his breath, holding his throat. He grabs the staff and the little boy. They
make their way down the corridor as Chad once again slams Blood face first against the wall. Blood returns with a hard right to the gut. He follows by
slamming Kurtis against the wall. Blood looks over for his staff, noticing it’s gone. As he’s distracted, Chad hits him with a hard right. The two men
continue to brawl, edging closer to the entrance area. Chad slams Blood face first in to the wall.

——————————————————————————–

JENNY JERSEY: The following match is set for one fall.

Chad tosses him through the curtain and to the entrance stage. Jenny Jersey quickly gets out of the ring, as she sees the fight has begun. Chad follows
kicking Blood down the aisle towards the ring. Blood rolls over grabbing the ankle of Kurtis, bringing him down to the floor. Both men roll around in the
aisle way throwing punches with vigor and determination to get the upper hand. Blood manages to get away from Kurtis just to grab a steel chair and he
brings it down in an arch to connect with the floor; Chad moves out of the way just in time. Chad springs to his feet and clotheslines Blood in the gut
effectively doubling him over. Chad is up to his feet quickly with a DDT to the concrete floor and Blood is laid out. Kurtis grabs the steel chair bringing
it down across Blood’s back, the crack of the chair making contact with Blood’s back audible throughout the arena.

ROB MARTINEZ: What the hell is going on here? Second match tonight to start abruptly!

BUBBA J: If Rex was a better damn boss, this shit wouldn’t happen. Anyways, let me do my damn job! As much as I don’t like his words, Chad has tenacity
of a Doberman as he shows Blood what a steel chair feels like.

Kurtis rolls into the ring, Blood following a bit slower.

DING! DING!

Chad turns to find Bubba J sitting at the announce table and he points at Bubba’s belt that sits in front of him. Blood walks up behind Kurtis wrapping
him in a full nelson, turning it into a slam as he gets up to stare at Bubba J, he points at the belt as well. Blood turns intending to mount an enormous
offense against Kurtis, but his legs are pulled out from under him and he hits the mat on his rear; Chad is on top of him with furious rights and lefts.
Chad gets up, whipping Blood into the ropes, and Blood returns leap frogging over Blood. He rebounds from the ropes right into a cross body block that
Blood turns into a snap powerslam. Blood is standing tall at Chad’s shoulder as he lifts him into a chicken wing submission placing his knee into Chad’s
back for added pain. Bubba J gets up from the announce table and Blood releases the hold motioning for Bubba to enter the ring, he just shakes his head
and sits down.

ROB MARTINEZ: What are you doing?

BUBBA J: They talk about respect… they had better expect something.

Show is up with a small package pin that Blood reverses, Chad reverses, Blood reverses; the ref is running around ready for a pin if either can hold their
opponent down. Finally they roll into the ropes, neither man’s shoulders on the mat; the referee breaks them apart and they stand up. Blood and Chad lock
up, Chad with a side headlock. Blood picks him up turning around for an inverted atomic drop but Chad pushes off the ropes flipping back over Blood’s shoulders
bringing him down with an inverted DDT. Chad is kneeling on the mat and goes for a pin. Blood’s hand shoots up grasping Chad’s face and he is shocked,
Blood stands with Chad’s face in his hand and now both men are back at a vertical position. Boot to the gut from Chad, right fist from Blood, kick to the
ribs of Blood and his grip loosens. Right hand from Blood Chad ducks under the right hand going for a short spear, even flow DDT to the mat and once again
both men are on the mat. The fans are cheering as both men roll up to their knees then stand on their feet. Chad rushes at Blood, back body drop and Chad
is sent up and over Blood but he lands on his feet. Standing dropkick to Blood’s back and he is in the ropes. Chad rushes at Blood, who is turning quickly
but not quick enough to avoid the clothesline and both men go up and over the top rope as Blood manages to grab a hold of Chad. They land on the floor
in a heap right at ringside.

ROB MARTINEZ: Neither man giving an inch here. Its been back and forth all match.

BUBBA J: Got a beer out here?

ROB MARTINEZ: No drinking on the job.

BUBBA J: I ain’t working yet.

Outside the ring, both men get back to their feet, about five feet apart from each other but the distance quickly closes as they charge at each other. Leap
frog from Kurtis catching Blood off guard, spinning back roundhouse kick from Kurtis and a duck from Blood catching Chad in a quick spinebuster to the
concrete. The crowd gasps as the smack of Chad’s back making contact with the floor sounds; Chad gasps in pain. Blood is up going for another steel chair,
but is stopped in mid stride by a hand on his ankle; he looks down. Chad is smiling and shaking his head no. Blood stomps down at Kurtis who rolls out
of the way quickly. Chad kips up to his feet, swaying slightly as he grabs at his lower back. Blood stalks at Chad snap suplex and Blood’s back smacks
on the concrete outside the ring. Blood groans as his back makes contact and Chad is rolling up to his feet looking down in amazement as Blood is doing
the same. Chad grabs a steel chair, Blood grabs a steel chair from under the ring. They both swing.

*CLANG!* Both drop the vibrating steel and lock up outside the ring. Irish whip from Blood sends Chad into the ring post and as Chad bounces back, blood
is pouring from his forehead; Blood waits. Chad wipes the blood pouring down his face, keeping it from his eyes making sure his vision is clear. He turns
around and Blood is charging at him.

ROB MARTINEZ: Chad busted open here.

BUBBA J: Really? Hadn’t noticed, I was checking out that lady with the Bud Lights.

Drop toe hold and Blood’s face makes contact with the steps at ringside; he is now bleeding from a gash on his forehead. He stands up quickly knowing that
Chad is going to be on top of him any moment and sure enough Kurtis is there locking Blood in a full nelson. Chad tries to ram Blood’s head into the steps
to further open him up but Blood stomps on Chad’s shin and Kurtis releases half of the full nelson one of Blood’s arms still held by Chad’s. Blood spins
around catching Chad in the midsection with a lifted knee and as he grabs Chad’s trunks he grins, tucking Chad’s head under his arm.

ROB MARTINEZ: He is going to

BUBBA J: Break him in half! Do it you waste of space… go ahead and f*bleep*g do it!

Blood lifts Chad up but Kurtis manages to reverse into a position to drop Blood’s stomach and chest across the steps. The crowd is going wild for the match
as Chad falls to his knees on the concrete floor. Up inside the ring the ref is motioning for Chad to try and get the action back inside the ring, Chad
nods as he rolls first Blood then himself into the ring. Chad whips Blood into the ropes and Blood rebounds.

ROB MARTINEZ: Double clothesline!

Bubba J is heard getting up from the announce table.

BUBBA J: Chad asked if I was ready… yeah I’m ready.

ROB MARTINEZ: Where are you going?

Bubba J makes no response as he moves away from his announcing position. He climbs into the ring as Chad Kurtis is making his way to his feet, the crowd
is pointing for Chad to turn around. Blood is still on his back, a dazed look on his face. Chad turns around…

ROB MARTINEZ: Trailer Park Trash to Chad… and he is down!

Blood stands up as Bubba J stares down at Chad Blood still hasn’t noticed that Bubba is in the ring, the referee is trying to get Bubba out of the ring.
Bubba J acts is he is fixing to hit the referee who dives out of the way. Blood turns around…

ROB MARTINEZ: Trailer Park Trash to Blood! Has Bubba J gone crazy?!

As Blood falls, he lands partially on top of Chad Kurtis and the referee counts as Bubba J climbs through the ropes. He walks backwards with his fingers
counting along with the referee.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING! DING! DING!

JENNY JERSEY: Winner of the match and now on The List…. BLOOD!

Blood stands up facing the aisle way where Bubba J is still standing, Blood glares at him. Bubba J gives him a thumb up and Blood looks perplexed then angered
as the thumbs up turns to a double bird. Bubba has a smile on his face as he steals a beer from a fan. He slams the cold one back, almost finishing it
before he reaches the curtain. Before he can wake his way backstage, he is met with a hard right as the crowd cheers. Kryenik steps out to the stage and
hits Bubba with a second right, forcing him to drop his beer. Kryenik slams Bubba face first in to the entrance wall before forcing Bubba over the guardrail
and in to the crowd. He follows Bubba, but is met with a kick to the gut. Bubba pushes a fan out of her seat and slams Kryenik face first in to it! Kryenik
stumbles as Bubba unleashes a vicious right…and a second!

ROB MARTINEZ: What the hell, lets just throw the format sheet away shall we? Blood and Chad Kurtis are being helped to the back by REBEL Trauma team members
and a host of security. The World championship match is supposed to be later, but the two men are fighting now. This show has been nothing but anarchy.
Bubba pulls Kryenik to the guardrail, attempting to slam him face first in to it…but Kryenik holds the rail, not letting it happen. He delivers an elbow
to the gut and slams Bubba face first in to the guardrail instead! Bubba turns around as Kryenik goes for Hot Salvation! But Bubba ducks it and nails Kryenik
with a clubbing blow to the back! Bubba spins Kryenik around, kick to the gut…Trailor Park Trash…NO! Kryenik sees it coming and forces Bubba off of
him! Bubba recovers with a right, but Kryenik ducks it! Bubba turns around, ahd he’s booted in the gut! Double underhook position…looking for the Dry
Lake…but Bubba telegraphs and hits Kryenik with a back body drop!

ROB MARTINEZ: Am I supposed to be calling this? Is this a damn match or what? Both men nearly hit their finishers, Dale McDonald is coming out here and
is in the ring. Folks, I don’t know what the hell is going on!

Bubba grabs a beer bottle from a fan as Kryenik uses the guardrail to return to his feet. Bubba swings the bottle at Kryenik, but Kryenik moves out of the
way and the bottle breaks over the guardrail! Kryenik tackles Bubba to the ground! Hard left…hard right…hard left…hard right! Kryenik unleashes a
variety of hard shots to Bubba’s head! Kryenik lifts Bubba’s head as he cocks his fist back, ready to strike…but Bubba with a quick poke to the eye!
Bubba grabs Kryenik by the head…vicious headbutt! He tosses Kryenik hard to the floor and gets on top of him. Bubba with another headbutt…and another…and
another! He grabs the broken bottle and scrapes it across Kryenik’s forehead, grinding it in to Kryenik’s mask!

ROB MARTINEZ: This match.. uh, brawl, is getting ultra violent. But what did you expect?

Blood trickles out from the top of the eyehole as Bubba smiles. Bubba tosses the bottle to the side and stands. He taunts the crowd before stepping back
over the guardrail as Kryenik gets up. Kryenik makes his way to the guardrail, and Bubba instantly comes at him with a right…but Kryenik blocks it! Kryenik
with a right of his own, and Bubba is staggered! He grabs Bubba with a front facelock…front suplex, midsection first across the guardrail! Bubba falls
back in to the crowd as Kryenik looks around at the cheering crowd. Kryenik hesitates as he approaches a fan. He grabs the fan by the pants, pulling off
the belt. Kryenik raises the belt in the air for the crowd to see…and they go ecstatic wanting him to use it on Bubba!

ROB MARTINEZ: Maybe if Bubba’s daddy would have used that on him when he was little, he wouldn’t be such a hellion now… just a thought!

Bubba tries to get back up as he takes a breather on all fours…THWACK! Kryenik with a hard crack from the belt across Bubba’s back! THWACK! A second crack!
Bubba squirms in pain as Kryenik draws in from the crowd. Bubba uses the guardrail to pull himself to a sitting position, but Kryenik presses his boot
against Bubba’s throat…choking the life out of him! Kryenik finally releases as Bubba holds his throat. He coughs as he leans his head back…CRACK!
Right on the swollen eye! And Bubba is in instant pain as he holds the injured eye!

ROB MARTINEZ: Sick Billy has went after that eye. Bubba is in a world of hurt right now.

Kryenik drops the belt and picks Bubba up. He throws Bubba over the guardrail and follows after him. Kryenik lifts Bubba back to his feet and smashes him
face first in to the ring post before rolling him in to the ring! Kryenik climbs up to the apron and enters the ring as Dale McDonald calls for the opening
bell, but Kryenik is met with a boot to the gut from Bubba! Bubba tackles him to the mat and applies a side headlock, pounding away at Kryenik’s face!
Bubba releases the side headlock and get to his feet. He stomps at Kryenik’s left shoulder. Now his head…right shoulder…abdomen…right knee…right
ankle…and a hard stomp to the chest!

Bubba brings Kryenik back to his feet and sends him hard to the corner. Bubba follows in for a clothesline, but Kryenik moves out of the way! Bubba hits
chest first hard in to the corner and turns around to eat a hard right from Kryenik. Kryenik has Bubba in the corner and continues with a series of body
and head shots! He pulls Bubba out of the corner…European uppercut, and Bubba falls to the mat. Kryenik leaps in to the air…knee drop to the forehead…and
he makes the quick cover!

ROB MARTINEZ: Bubba is still champ, but Billy is bringing his damn best here tonight.

Kryenik brings Bubba back to his feet and plants a forearm to the face. He whips Bubba to the corner…and Bubba reverses. Bubba with a hard boot to the
gut, and he follows with a series of knees to the gut in the corner! Kryenik falls to a sitting position, and Bubba continues with stomp after stomp to
the head! He lifts Kryenik out of the corner…inverted atomic drop. Bubba hits the far ropes…massive lariat, nearly decapitating Kryenik! Bubba lifts
Kryenik to a sitting position, places his knee in to the center of Kryenik’s back, and applies a rear chinlock.

ROB MARTINEZ: A wrestling move? Man, if this match isn’t the most unpredictable title match of all time…

Kryenik struggles to free himself of the hold as McDonald checks on him. Kryenik slowly makes his way to one knee…and back to a standing position. Bubba
floats over in to a side headlock, but is met with a back elbow to the gut. Kryenik with a second…and a third! Bubba releases the hold. He comes at Kryenik
for another lariat, but Kryenik ducks. Kryenik grabs Bubba by the shoulder to spin him around…spike DDT! Kryenik looks at the cheering crowd before bringing
Bubba back to his feet. Left hook to the body, right hook to the body, left knee to the skull, another hook, another knee…THE FLOOD! And Kryenik quickly
positions Bubba for The Dry Lake! He has one arm hooked, reaching for the second…but Bubba spins out! Bubba grabs Kryenik for the Trailor Park Trash…but
Kryenik pushes off! Bubba turns around…HOT SALVATION…but he catches the foot! He pulls Kryenik in to him…bone crushing spinebuster!

ROB MARTINEZ: That had to hurt, how much more can these men take?

Bubba crawls to the ropes and uses them to pull himself back up. He makes his way to the corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle. He waits as Kryenik
begins to get back up…double axe handle to the back of the neck! He picks Kryenik up and sends him in to the ropes…haymaker right to knock Kryenik
down! Bubba falls on him for the cover, hooking the leg and pressing with his forearm across the face!

ONE!

NO!

Kryenik kicks out!

ROB MARTINEZ: It was almost over like that. One shot! But you might have to kill Billy to beat him tonight.

Bubba lifts Kryenik to a sitting position. He hits the ropes and returns with a hard shoulder to Kryenik’s spine! Kryenik falls to the mat in pain as Bubba
drops the knee across the chest. He lifts Kryenik to a sitting position again. Again, Bubba hits the ropes and returns with a shoulder to the spine! Bubba

connects with Bubba’s jaw, and the impact sends Bubba to the outside through the ropes! Kryenik falls to the mat trying to catch his breath as Bubba lays
lifeless on the outside!

ROB MARTINEZ: The crowd is going crazy! This match is exactly what we expected and more. If these men aren’t hurting tomorrow, it’s cause they’re dead!
Kryenik finally pulls himself back to his feet and approaches the ropes. WHACK! Bubba with a garbage can lid to Kryenik’s skull as Kryenik was stepping
out to the apron! Bubba slides in with the lid…smile on his face. He walks to the corner and wedges the lid between the ropes. Bubba picks Kryenik up
and brings him to the corner. He smashes Kryenik’s face in to the lid…and a second time! Kryenik falls to the mat. Bubba reaches to pick Kryenik up,
but Kryenik pulls Bubba, forcing him head first in to the lid! Kryenik returns to his feet as Bubba stumbles, turning from the corner…lariat by Kryenik,
and Bubba falls back in to the corner!

ROB MARTINEZ: It’s a shame either man has to lose this match.

Kryenik backs off. He comes at Bubba again…a second lariat…this time followed by a running bulldog! Bubba flips on to his back, squirming in pain as
the crowd goes ecstatic. Kryenik makes his way to the corner and climbs to the top turnbuckle…THE EXPLODER WHALE! And Kryenik looks to be preparing for
The Dry Lake as he waits for Bubba to return to his feet. Bubba is up…boot to the gut! He’s positioned, but quickly pushes Kryenik off. Kryenik comes
at Bubba for a clothesline…but Bubba with a powerslam counter, and he has the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR…NO!

Kryenik gets the shoulder up at the last second!

ROB MARTINEZ: Another near fall. Bubba doesn’t wanna be the first man to lose a belt in his group. But Billy hasn’t won a singles title in over six YEARS!
Bubba appears frustrated as he checks with McDonald to make sure it wasn’t a three. He rolls out of the ring and makes his way to the timekeeper’s table.
Bubba grabs the ring bell and slides back in to the ring. He waits like a viper for Kryenik to get back to his feet. Bubba comes at Kryenik…but Kryenik
ducks under the bell! Bubba turns back to Kryenik and is met with a hard forearm to the head…and a second…and a third, causing Bubba to drop the bell!
Kryenik backs Bubba up to the ropes and whips him, but Bubba reverses. Bubba leans over for a back body drop, but instead is met with a stiff kick to the
jaw! Bubba stumbles back for a second before stumbling towards Kryenik…drop toe hold, face first on to the bell! And Bubba is busted wide open! Kryenik
picks up the ring bell and stands over Bubba. Bubba slowly gets to all fours…CRACK! Kryenik with the ring bell right to the back of Bubba’s head! And
Bubba falls back to the mat!

ROB MARTINEZ: Bubba’s head looks like road kill right now.

Kryenik smiles as he drops the bell. He sits on Bubba’s back…grabs both arms…STRAIGHT JACKET! McDonald instantly checks on Bubba who is also bleeding
from the mouth. Bubba refuses to give up as he coughs out some blood. Kryenik yanks back, applying more pressure as Bubba struggles to break Kryenik’s
grip. Bubba is unable to break the grip, but he makes it to all fours. Bubba slowly makes his way back to his feet as Kryenik still holds the arms! Bubba
tries pulling himself to the corner, but Kryenik pulls him back near the center of the ring! Bubba leans forward to lift Kryenik in the air…and he falls
back, driving all of the air out of Kryenik’s body, forcing Kryenik to release the hold!

ROB MARTINEZ: If Bubba didn’t counter that, it would be over!

Bubba slowly returns to his feet. He picks up Kryenik and sends him hard to the corner. Bubba with a shoulder block to the gut…and another. Bubba drives
his shoulder repetitively in to Kryenik’s gut, taking the air out of him! He taunts the crowd as Kryenik slumps to a sitting position in the corner. Bubba

cover! He’s disoriented as he crawls towards the corner, still spitting up blood. And here comes Inferno…six pack in hand! Inferno shouts for Bubba to
make the cover, but Bubba is on dream street! Bubba finally notices where Kryenik is and slowly crawls over, draping one arm across for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR…NO!

Kryenik gets his shoulder up just in the nick of time!

ROB MARTINEZ: Someone needs to get Inferno out of here. He won his match tonight, he should be gone!

Inferno and Bubba both can’t believe it! Bubba sits up still exhausted as Inferno sets his six pack on the apron and rushes over to the timekeeper’s table.
He grabs the World Heavyweight Championship and slides it in to Bubba. Bubba picks up the belt and waits for Kryenik to get back up. Kryenik makes it to
his feet, and he ducks under the shot from the belt! Bubba turns around, and a boot to the gut forces him to drop the belt! Inferno grabs one of the bottles

McDonald calls for the bell, forgetting that it’s in the ring.

JENNY JERSEY: Here is your winner, and the NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION…”SICK” BILLY KRYENIK!

Kryenik rolls off of Bubba as McDonald picks up the belt and hands it to him. Kryenik slowly gets back to his feet and raises the belt high in to the air,
only to be clotheslined from behind by Inferno! Inferno stomps at Kryenik. He picks Kryenik up, but Kryenik starts to fight back! They exchange shots,
and Kryenik knocks Inferno down with a hard right! Inferno gets to his feet as Kryenik sets for Hot Salvation, but Bubba has regained composure and hits
Kryenik with a chop block from behind!

ROB MARTINEZ: Someone needs to get out here, but who’s left? I doubt Chad or Blood are out of the Trainers room or showers yet. Everhardt got taken to the

the ropes and chokes him on the second rope! Bubba finally releases as he looks outside of the ring. He nudges Inferno and points to the ring steps as
a smile comes to his face. Inferno slides out of the ring and grabs the ring steps as Bubba continues to choke the life out of Kryenik! He slides the steps

DRY LAKE ON TO THE STEPS! Blood pours from Kryenik’s mask as McDonald tries to restore order in the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: This is HIS moment, and the damn Elite are ruining it!

Inferno hands Bubba one of the beers, and both men begin to drink, celebrating the destruction of Kryenik. As they finish their last drink, Bubba smiles
again looking down at Kryenik. He signals to Inferno to pick up Kryenik. They both lift Kryenik to his feet, each holding an arm…CRACK! Inferno and Bubba
both break their beer bottles over the sides of Kryenik’s skull! Kryenik falls to the mat lifeless, next to his newly won championship.

——————————————————————————–

The REBEL crowd starts to buzz as several officials emerge from the back with ladders and make their way down to ringside. The ever lovely Jenny Jersey
enters the ring and flashes a smile to the crowd.

JENNY JERSEY: This next match is your special triple threat “Golden Opportunities” ladder match!!!

The REBEL crowd pops hard as they settle in for the upcoming carnage. A trio of ladders have now been set up along the aisle leading down to the ring. A
briefcase hangs suspended high above the ring.

JENNY JERSEY: The winner of this match must climb their ladder and retrieve the briefcase. Inside the briefcase is a contract for the winner to face any
champion they wish!

Another pop from the rowdy crowd!

JENNY JERSEY: Coming to the ring first, making his REBEL in ring debut…..

The movie theme from “The Godfather” plays over the PA and the fans all crane their necks to see the man who steps out from behind the curtain.

JENNY JERSEY: Hailing from the high crime section of Hickory, North Carolina, he weighs in at two hundred forty pounds….”Sweet” Junior Soprano!!!

Soprano makes his way from the back, a look of rookie nervousness on his face. He climbs into the ring and eyes the briefcase hanging high above him.

ROB MARTINEZ: The first match for the graduate of the 2008 Underground Class. He has to have the butterflies tonight!

“Anthem for the Underdog” by 12 Stones hits the PA and the second participant for the match steps through the curtain.

JENNY JERSEY: And his opponent, he hails from British Columbia, Canada and weighs in at two hundred thirty pounds…..The Bird Of Prey!!!

The Bird Of Prey looks confident as he makes his way quickly down to ringside. He eyes the ladders as he passes them and slides into the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: Formerly The Screaming Falcon in our sister fed, NAPW, this man comes here tonight hoping to get off on the right foot, make an impact in
other words.

JENNY JERSEY: And his opponent….

“Get Ready For Love” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds hits the PA and amazingly the crowd starts to sing along with the chorus of the song!

JENNY JERSEY: He hails from Salt Lake City Utah by way of Dublin and weighs in at one hundred seventy five pounds….He’s part of The Young Leons, Johnny
The Mormon Love Machine!!!

Johnny makes his way out from the back and is all smiles for the fans along ringside. He looks at the ladders with a gleam in his eye and climbs into the
ring. Johnny hands off his backpack to Jenny as she makes her way out of the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: Johnny looks ready to go, hoping to bring his team one step closer to tag team glory… in the name of the Lord.

The three men stand in opposite corners alternately looking at each other and at the briefcase above them. The referee makes sure all three men are ready
and calls for the bell!

The Bird Of Prey and Soprano immediately meet in the center of the ring and start in with the trash talk. Soprano shoves Bird Of Prey and takes a shove
in return. Bird Of Prey lands a big right to the head of Soprano and the fist fight is on! Johnny watches from the corner as the two men trade heavy lefts
and rights, neither man willing to give an inch. Johnny walks out of the corner and looks to be pleading with both men to stop the violence! The Bird and
Soprano actually stop swinging at each other for a moment and looked perplexed at Johnny who is looking to be making an impact with whatever it is he’s
saying. That is until Johnny quickly reaches up, grabs each mans head and double noggin knocks them! A dazed Soprano walks into a scoop slam while Bird
Of Prey drapes himself against the ropes trying to clear his head. Johnny rushes him and gets surprised by a back body drop that sends him over the top
rope and down to the floor!

ROB MARTINEZ: This is going to be one fast paced match. No pins, no quitting!

Soprano is back to his feet and takes a running back elbow that puts him back onto the mat. Bird Of Prey rolls out of the ring and heads for the ladders
set up in the aisle when he’s grabbed from behind and spun around by Johnny. A forearm strike snaps Bird Of Preys head back and The Love Machine follows
it up with a hard chop across the chest. Bird Of Prey responds with a chop of his own, only to take another stiff chop from Johnny! Before either man can
unleash another chop they’re both jumped by an irate Soprano! Soprano grabs Johnny and hurls him over the guardrail and into the crowd. Bird Of Prey goes
for a big right hand but Soprano blocks it and rakes the face of the fan favorite. Soprano grabs a double handful of hair and slams the back of Bird Of
Preys head against the standing ladder! Soprano shoves him away and folds up the ladder and starts making his way to the ring with it.

ROB MARTINEZ: Junior has the ladder and could be on his way to a big title match!

Suddenly the crowd parts as Johnny leaps up onto the top of the guard rail and jumps off nailing Soprano with a dropkick! Soprano and the ladder go flying
onto the floor and Johnny takes this moment to pick up the ladder and slide it into the ring. Johnny starts to climb inside when he’s attacked from behind
by Bird Of Prey. Bird Of Prey whips Johnny into the ring steps and the collision echoes through the building. Bird Of Prey climbs into the ring, picks
up the ladder and sets it up in the center of the ring. Bird Of Prey starts his climb up the ladder when Soprano rolls inside and pulls the former Screaming
Falcon from his perch. Soprano whips Bird Of Prey into the ropes and nails a brutal looking snap powerslam. Johnny is back inside the ring and goes for
a back heel kick only to have Soprano duck under it. Johnny takes a boot to the gut doubling him over and Soprano hooks him into position for what looks
to be a pedigree. Soprano hoists him up but Johnny reverses the move in mid air with a hurricanrana!

ROB MARTINEZ: What a reversal! Johnny is teaching young Soprano a lesson!

Johnny is quickly back to his feet but takes a running enziguri from Bird Of Prey that drops him to all fours. Bird Of Prey folds up the ladder and slams
it down across the back of The Love Machine! Soprano is up and Bird Of Prey drives the ladder into his mid section! Bird Of Prey drops the ladder to the
mat, pulls Soprano to his feet and slams him onto the unforgiving ladder. Bird Of Prey turns his back to him and goes for a standing moonsault only to
have Soprano get his knees up at the last second! Soprano pulls a dazed Bird Of Prey to his feet, smiles for the crowd and hits a suplex onto the ladder!
Bird Of Prey rolls off the ladder and towards the ring ropes his face contorted with pain. one baseball slide later and Bird Of Prey finds himself sailing
out of the ring and down to the floor below. Soprano gets to his feet but takes a dropkick from behind that sends him too out of the ring thanks to The
Love Machine!

ROB MARTINEZ: This is Johnny’s big chance. He needs to climb that ladder.

Johnny picks up the ladder laying in the ring and sets it up under the briefcase. he starts to climb but then stops. He looks to his left and sees both
Soprano & Bird Of Prey getting to their feet on the outside. Johnny hops off the ladder, breaks into a sprint and sails over the top rope and down onto
his two opponents with a twisting corkscrew body press! The crowd unleash a “Holy Shit!” chant and it seems to disturb Johnny who places his hands over
his ears. Johnny crawls up to his feet and tries to get back into the ring only to have Soprano hook his leg and drag him back to the outside. Bird Of
Prey meanwhile is crawling away from the other two men and heads towards the other two ladders still standing in the aisle way. Johnny kicks Soprano away
and climbs into the ring as at the same time Bird Of Prey has regained his footing and is now dragging a second ladder to the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: Bird of Prey with a ladder too. This isn’t going to end well!

Johnny starts to climb the ladder when he spots Bird Of Prey slide in the second ladder. Johnny tries to hurry up the ladder but Bird Of Prey is in the
ring and yanks him down. A trio of short forearm shots rattle Johnny and Bird Of Prey drops him to the mat with a jawbreaker. Soprano rolls into the ring
and catches an off guard Bird Of Prey with a brutal clothesline! Soprano picks up the second ladder and sets it up and starts his climb. Both Johnny and
The Bird are starting to stir and Soprano is nearly halfway up his ladder! Johnny hurriedly gets to his feet and scales the ladder he set up originally
and tries to race to catch up with Soprano! Johnny grabs the tights of Soprano but the rookie drives one, make that two, no three elbows to the face of
Johnny that causes him to lose his grip and drop from his ladder. Unseen by Soprano though is Bird Of Prey who has started to scale the same ladder he’s
on, just on the opposite side.

ROB MARTINEZ: The two men are inching there way closer to a big time main event match! Can they do it?

Both men make it to the top at nearly the same time and Soprano and Bird Of Prey trade right hands trying to knock the other from his spot. Bird Of Prey
grabs the head of Soprano and bounces it off the top of the ladder and then hoists himself up and over snapping Soprano off the ladder with a powerbomb!
Soprano folds in half and rolls out of the ring as Bird Of Prey struggles up to his feet. Belly to back suplex from Johnny stuns Bird Of Prey! Johnny gets
to his feet and again tries to head up the ladder. He’s about halfway up when Bird Of Prey gets to his feet and starts to climb up after his foe. Bird
Of Prey hooks Johnny and executes a modified Russian Legsweep from the ladder! Both men hit the mat hard and the crowd are on their feet clapping with
appreciation!

ROB MARTINEZ: LET REBEL REIGN!

Soprano rolls back into the ring. He drops a leg across the chest of Johnny. Bird Of Prey is trying to get to his feet when he takes a big boot to the side
of the head that drops him like a sack of potatoes. Soprano is all smiles now as he hovers over the two men. Soprano folds up one of the ladders and props
it up in a corner. Johnny is getting to his feet and Soprano grabs him and whips him hard into the corner with the ladder into it! Johnny slams into it
back first and collapses to the mat. Soprano folds up the second ladder and places his head between the rungs and rests the ladder on his shoulders. Bird
Of Prey gets to his feet only to have Soprano spins around and deck him in the face with the ladder. Johnny uses the ring ropes to pull himself up and
he too takes a ladder shot to the skull. Soprano removes the ladder from his shoulders and sets it up under the briefcase. Soprano rubs his hands together
and starts his climb.

ROB MARTINEZ: A very opportunistic rookie!

Soprano is nearly at the top when Bird Of Prey somehow gets to his feet and hits a dropkick on the ladder knocking it out from under the rookie! Soprano
lands hard and the ladder falls against the ring ropes. Johnny meanwhile is also back to his feet and has pulled the ladder in the corner open and starts
to climb. Not to be outdone, Bird Of Prey heads to the nearest turnbuckle and climbs his way to the top. Johnny & Bird Of Prey lock eyes for a moment and
then The Love Machine takes flight from about half way up the ladder nailing a legdrop onto Soprano! The Mormon rolls out of the way as Bird Of Prey connects
with his “SMW!” Soprano is flopping on the mat clutching his chest as Johnny and Bird Of Prey slowly make their way to their feet. Johnny offers his hand
and after a moment Bird Of Prey actually reaches out and shakes it! Only to have Bird Of Prey try to whip Johnny into the ladder! It’s reversed and now
Bird Of Prey finds himself heading towards the ladder! Without a split second to spare Bird Of Prey flies up the ladder (no pun!) and hits a picture perfect
whisper in the wind onto Johnny!

ROB MARTINEZ: WHAT A MOVE! These men are bringing everything to the table!

The crowd start to stir as a group of people emerge from the back and are making their way to the ring. The band of goons is lead by Thunderbug and he looks
ready to cause trouble! As they hit the ringside area, Bird Of Prey sails over the top rope with a suicide dive! Soprano has no choice but to fight as
he’s dragged out of the ring by the motley crew! As the melee erupts on the outside, Johnny gets to his feet and drags his ladder away from the corner.
Johnny positions it just so and quickly scales to the top as the fans raise to the feet in unison. Johnny smiles broadly and takes a swan dive from the
very top of the ladder and down onto the entire group of people at ringside! Another “Holy Shit!” chant breaks out as bodies lay everywhere.

ROB MARTINEZ: LET REBEL REIGN.. AGAIN!

Johnny pulls himself off the top of the heap and slides back into the ring. The Love Machine grabs a ladder and places it under the briefcase and begins
his climb! Bird Of Prey has now rolled into the ring and is crawling towards the ladder. Johnny spots him and puts on the speed trying to get up the ladder.
Soprano is in the ring as well and drags himself up to his feet. Bird Of Prey grabs the leg of Johnny and is trying to pull him off the ladder when he’s
attacked by Soprano! Bird Of Prey takes a back suplex from Soprano laying him out. Johnny quickly takes advantage and reaches up and snatches the briefcase
from it’s hook! The crowd explodes as Johnny drops down from the ladder briefcase in hand. Soprano looks frustrated with himself for making a foolish rookie
mistake and can only look on as the referee raises the hand of the winner.

JENNY JERSEY: The winner of this “Golden Opportunities” match is JOHNNY THE MORMON LOVE MACHINE!!!

ROB MARTINEZ: Johnny won, but Thunderbug doesn’t look happy!

Thunderbug and his crew climb into the ring but Johnny quickly tosses the briefcase out into the audience! The camera quickly pans around to reveal McHighspot
with the briefcase! He quickly makes his escape through the crowd as Johnny looks on with a grin on his face.

“Bullet With A Name” by NonPoint plays and the crowd boos as from the back walks Mark Kingston and his mentor Chris Sparx.

JENNY JERSEY: Introducing first… He stands at six feet five inches and weighs in at two hundred seventy-two pounds. He hails from Richmond, Virginia;
it is MARK KINGSTON!

Mark makes his way down to the ring, climbing in and Chris stands outside the ring. Mark is ready to get this match underway.

ROB MARTINEZ: Mark seems to be super focused on his new partnership, and really neglected even talking about his opponent this week. Will that lack of focus
hurt Kingston tonight?

“Baila Cassanova” by Paulina Rubio plays and the place erupts in cheers.

JENNY JERSEY: Standing at six feet four inches, he weighs in at two hundred and forty-five pounds. From Villahermosa, Tobasco, Mexico, Rebel Fans, give
it up for EL REY DE CORAZONES!

The crowd indeed gives a huge welcome as El Rey walks out, traditional roses in hand and passes them out to the ladies. He stops along the way to take a
picture with a little girl giving her a peck on the forehead and signing a photo of himself.

ROB MARTINEZ: El Rey got attacked earlier, but wasn’t hurt badly. He might have a sore neck and throat area though. He left his manager in the back, just
to keep her out of harms way, in case Blood wants to tangle again.

DING! DING!

El Rey and Mark circle each other, this being the first meeting of the two veterans of Rebel Pro. Lock up wristlock from El Rey he goes behind the back.
Mark slaps his own shoulder ducking and twisting now he is behind El Rey with the wristlock; he smirks. El Rey drops to one knee flipping Mark over his
shoulders to land on the mat. Mark spins around glaring at the King of Hearts a fire beginning to catch in his eyes. A second lockup Mark getting the advantage
with a armbar to the mat, El Rey bounces off of his one free arm, pushing off to the side and rolling over Mark to the ropes where the hold is broken.
Mark is beginning to get furious at being showed up but his mentor, Chris Sparx motions for him to settle down and wrestle.

ROB MARTINEZ: Kingston isn’t keeping his cool at all right now.

Mark turns around barely ducking a huge haymaker from El Rey; the King of Hearts turns it into a side headlock. Mark tries to lift El Rey up from the position,
but El Rey keeps him grounded. Mark heaves once again and El Rey is up and over his shoulders, he releases the side headlock in favor of a rear waistlock.
He turns tossing Mark with a release German suplex. Mark lands on his feet, stunned, and a fire blazing in his eyes, Chris motions for him to calm down
once more. All Mark does is nod in acceptance, trying to keep his temper in check. They lock up for a third time El Rey gaining the advantage with an armbar
of his own turning it into a side headlock into a DDT. Mark blocks the DDT attempt by pushing back as El Rey falls and a look of triumph crosses his features.
Cockily he walks over to El Rey who kips up with a drop down to his front spinning knocking the legs out from under a shocked Mark Kingston. Mark lands
on his back, looking stunned; El Rey goes for the ropes with a springboard backflip. Mark catches him throwing him down violently with a running bodyslam.
Mark begins to furiously stomp on El Rey’s head with a stomp, following it up with a boot scrap, then another foot stomp. El Rey rolls out of the way of
an elbow drop and Mark’s elbow makes contact with the canvas. He bounces back up to his feet as El Rey gains his vertical base.

ROB MARTINEZ: Back and forth right now, no one with a real advantage.

Mark, heedless of his mentor’s shouts, charges at El Rey fists flying without abandon. He lands a right, left, right, and another left. A kick to the gut
and Mark pounds on El Rey’s back. A stiff European uppercut and El Rey is thrown back first into the corner. Mark jabs El Rey in the throat with a thumb
following it up with a throat thrust and a knife edge chop to El Rey’s wounded throat muscles. El Rey sensing that he doesn’t really want to brawl fist
to fist with this man or possibly he senses his advantage going away lashes out with a right punch to Kingston’s face. Mark is shocked and thrown backwards
from the force. El Rey doesn’t rest as he gives chase to his adversary. Running dropkick to Mark and he falls face first on the turnbuckle but turns throwing
fists not caring if they make their mark or not. These two begin to roll around punches flying like they are in a fight in high school. Mark’s size comes
into play as he winds up on top of the two’s pile; he grins as he reigns down punches onto the silver and black mask of El Rey. With each fisted blow El
Rey grunts from the force Mark is putting into the punches. He lifts El Rey bodily to his feet tossing him backwards into the corner following up with
a running forearm to El Rey’s throat. El Rey is stunned from the impact and clutches at his throat in obvious pain; Mark is relentless as he delivers another
stiff uppercut following with a running forearm.

ROB MARTINEZ: Kingston has kicked up the aggression! Will it help him win the match?

El Rey uses the ropes to lift himself and Mark runs right into El Rey’s feet. He stumbles back clutching at his face as El Rey leaps from the middle turnbuckle
with a flying clothesline. El Rey breathes heavily on the mat, clutching at his face, as Mark just looks shocked at the turn of events. Both get back up
and face each other in the middle of the ring. Mark is quick, grabbing El Rey’s wrist and whips him into the ropes. As Mark charges for The Richmond Lariat,
El Rey ducks under and…

ROB MARTINEZ: Tango Pasado del Amor!

El Rey quickly covers and the ref counts.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING! DING! DING!

JENNY JERSEY: Winner of the match… EL REY DE CORAZONES!

Sparx gets in the ring and calms down the groggily pissed Kingston. He tells him that it’ll all get better from here on out! They walk to the back together
as El Rey celebrates!

——————————————————————————–

Jenny Jersey is waiting in the center of the ring as Meat Loaf’s “The Monster’s Loose” plays through-out the REBEL Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. The
fans don’t react right away this music is new to them and they‘re not sure who‘s it belongs to. Eventually they see the man whose arrival the song announces
as he steps through the curtain and that man is the “Bluegrass BadAss” Matthew Kurtis, wearing black jeans, a Harley Davidson brand denim shirt with the
sleeves rolled up, biker boots, and his Toby Keith (or HBK if you prefer) style black Cowboy Hat. Noticeable by her absence is Lyndsey Valentine. The crowd
out of habit starts to boo Matthew but stops, not all at once but, they do stop. They notice something different about Matt. Instead of stomping down the
aisle like he usually does, he looks hesitant to approach the ring. Matthew starts the walk to a rather subdued reaction from the crowd. Once in the ring
Matthew looks reluctant to approach the mic offered by Jenny. He pauses in a corner takes off his hat and runs a hand through his hair. He pulls it back
into a ponytail and puts the hat back on, all the while the crowd grows anxious. A “say something already” chat starts as he approaches Jenny and accepts
the mic. Matt says something to Jenny and she leaves the ring. He brings the mic up and starts to open his mouth but stops. He takes a deep breath, let’s
out a sigh, and then finally begins to speak…

MATTHEW: First of all it’s great to be back in a REBEL ring even if I’m not competing tonight. This feels almost like coming home. Now let me say this first,
and this isn’t meant to sound hateful or rude, but everything I’m about to say ain’t really for you it’s for me. That being said it’s something I need
to get off my chest and something I think you deserve to hear. First of all let answer the question I know some of you have, yes Lyndsey and I are still
together but she’s not out hear tonight because she knows what I’m doing here right now needs to be between me and you guys. Some…or actually all of
what I’m getting ready to say ain’t very pro wrestling-like and definitely ain’t very hardcore REBEL-like but it needs to come out. I did yet another vanishing
act and just like when I usually do them everything was going my way. I beat Zeke, I’d beat Everhardt, I’d had a Hell of a match with Chad and then “POOF!”
I was gone and nobody knew what happened. Nobody except me, Lyndsey, and Eventually Chad and Jonny knew as well but that was it. So maybe some of you maybe
wondered where I went and maybe some or you couldn’t give a Rat’s Ass about me. That’s fine and that’s the way the world works. As to where I’ve been.
Well, this is where this gets difficult…

Matt pauses again and takes another deep breath. He runs his hand over his hair, looks up at the ceiling (or is he trying to see further?) He lets another
sigh and continues..

MATTHEW: I’ve spent a lot of time lately at Four Rivers Behavioral Health Center in Paducah. It’s a Mental Health facility locally where I live. I had a
mental breakdown so severe that I spent a week under suicide watch the first week of November. The main issues that drove me there were depression, guilt,
anger…big shock. I’m not going into detail here because I this ain’t the Dr. Phil Show but being there taught me to face some unpleasant truths about
myself and started me on the road to recovery I’m not “cured” yet but I’m better than I was. I know some people in the back and I’m sure some of you in
the crowd are thinking or maybe saying to your buddies, “Why should I give a shit If Matt has issues”? The truth is maybe you shouldn’t. I ain’t out here
to garner sympathy or to set myself up as a hero or a great comeback story. I guess what I’m looking for is redemption not so much in your eyes but in
my own eyes. I know I’ve been overly hostile to you before but even more than that I’ve been poisonous to myself. I’ve yammered on and on about respect,
you know the whole “Love Me, hate Me, but You will respect me” bullshit? However the truth was I didn’t respect myself. So how in the Hell I expected other
people to respect me, I don’t know. Instead of trying or even realizing at the time that I needed to be comfortable with myself, I thought maybe if I found
people who were comfortable with themselves and ridiculed, mocked, and beat them down maybe I’d feel better about myself. That’s one reason I carried around
such a hatred for Cuzin Zeke,he is who is and he’s fine with that. Truth is I was jealous of him, because I wasn’t okay with who I was. So I set out to
try and destroy him because I couldn’t be at peace with myself like he was. I even felt that way about both of my brothers to a degree.

So there it is. I’ve spoke my piece and like I said maybe it ain’t really a “REBEL” thing to do coming out here talking about my feelings and that Dr. Phil
type shit. Rest assured I’m not going to be like Shawn Michaels and tell everyone “I lost my smile” because Quite frankly I don’t think I ever had a smile
to lose. I carried around alot of anger and guilt for years about things that happened in my childhood that I had no control over but I’m not going to
get into that right now I don’t want to ramble on and on but it may too late for that though. I just felt that most of the REBEL roster and you the fans
deserved an explanation for my actions this past year. Like I said earlier this ain’t a ploy to get you to cheer for me, it’s just the truth. That’s all
there is for now so I’m out of here for now. I’ll see you next week

Matt begins to leave when he sees his brother, Jonothan, bloody and beaten, get thrown through the curtains. Kid Flash and Johnny Afro are standing over
him laughing. Afro takes out a fork and stabs Jonothan again.

KID FLASH: All that time at that treatment place, and it helped you become a bitch. You and your brother should go to an anti bitch hospital, so maybe you
will stop crying and maybe he won’t scream like a little girl when he gets his ass kicked.

The duo takes off as Matt rushes to his brother. They left a piece business card lying next to Jonothan Kurtis. It simply says, Team P.H.A.T. is where it’s
AT! Matt Kurtis is furious!

JENNY JERSEY: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is our main event of the evening and is for the REBEL CAROLINAS CHAMPIONSHIP!

”Carbomb” by The Acacia Strain hits the loud speakers.

JENNY JERSEY:: Coming down to the ring first, weighing in at three hundred forty one pounds, hailing from Glenn Falls, New York… He is the REBEL CAROLINAS
CHAMPION… VINCENT BLACK!

Like a Mac truck pulling up to a construction yard, the human truck that is Vincent Black steps out from behind the curtain with an odd grin on his face.
The fans starts to boo him with all the might they have in their vocal cords. Vince dusts them off like he would a fly or bug. He walks slowly down to
ringside, Carolinas title in his hand and held high. He steps onto the apron and steps over the top rope showing his unhuman size.

ROB MARTINEZ: Vincent is defending his employee, his title and his pride tonight. Threats and vandalism is just two of the things that stirred controversy
all week. Tonight, it all gets settled.

JENNY JERSEY: And the challenger…

”Psycho Chicken” by The Fools starts to play and the crowd goes into a split of cheers and boos. Small PUMA! PUMA! PUMA! chants break out, but nothing that
gives him their full support.

JENNY JERSEY: Hailing from Brisbane, Australia by way of Franklin Square, New York! Weighing in at two hundred forty eight pounds he is… THE GREAT PUMA
II!!

ROB MARTINEZ: This man wants to take the title from Vincent Black, to get revenge for what Black did this past week. This is gonna be a war.

Puma races out from behind the curtain and storms the ring immediately. He stands right into Vince’s chest and glares up at him. Vince smirks and then shoves
Puma back a few feet.

DING! DING! DING!

Puma runs right back at Black and strikes him right in the mouth. The big man doesn’t go down but you can tell that he didn’t expect Puma to hit so hard.
Vince fires back, but Puma dodges it and does a standing drop-kick to Vince’s leg. Vince stumbles back and Puma is still on him with a flurry of rights
and lefts. Vince gets backed into the corner and Puma jumps onto the second rope and starts to fire away some more. THUMP. Vince throws off the two hundred
forty eight pounder like he is nothing. Puma lands hard onto the mat and Vince runs at him and stomps onto the rib cage of The Great Puma. Puma grabs his
ribs in pain and Vince picks him up and thrusts his hand into Pumas throat. Puma stumbles back and finds a big boot in his face for his troubles. Puma
falls out of the ring, giving him some time to recover.

ROB MARTINEZ: Black is pounding The Great Puma pretty good. Does Puma even have a chance?

Black is playing off the crowd and begging Puma to get back into the ring. He goes over to the ropes to try and pull Puma back in, but Puma grabs the leg
of the big man and yanks him off of his moorings. Puma pulls him to the outside and throws Black into the cold steel guardrail. Puma runs back and then
thrusts towards Vince with a diving elbow, connecting. Puma grabs the big man by the hair and rolls him into the ring. Puma follows him after and picks
him up for a quick Dragon Suplex, an unbelievable task considering the mass of the Carolinas Champion. The crowd is starting to feel the match a little
more and responds well to Pumas charge. Puma stomps on the same leg that he drop kicked earlier, and Vince grabs hold of it in pain. Puma goes for the
Texas Cloverleaf! But Vince kicks him away and into the turnbuckles. Vince gets back to his feet and runs at Puma with his arm extended. Puma ducks, kicks
Vince in the stomach and FACEBUSTER! Smack dab onto the mat.

ROB MARTINEZ: Puma does have a chance, and a damn good one right now!

Puma goes for that leg again, and puts his foot onto the back of the knee. He grabs Vince’s foot and starts wrenching back. Puma is screaming at the ref
to ask him if he quits. No dice from the Champion. He is taking it like any champion would. In a final attempt at the hold, Puma lifts up Vince’s leg and
slams it down onto the mat knee first. Puma grabs Vince by the head and tries to lift him up, but Vince throws a shoulder into Puma and then lifts him
up as he gets back to his feet. Dominator! Puma is laying flat on the mat and Vince hobbles around the ring, stalking his immobile prey. Black walks over
and starts stomping a mud hole into the back of Puma. The fans don’t like that too much but Vince could care less. He picks up Puma and wraps his tree
trunk arms around his neck and goes into a sleeper hold. Puma tries to fight it though, but Vince is just too strong.

ROB MARTINEZ: Black is trying to put Puma to sleep. This could end the match right now!

Puma drops down to one knee, and his eyes are starting to shut. The referee grabs the arm and raises it, but Puma responds immediately and does not allow
it to drop. Puma starts to shake as if he’s drawing from the reserve and Vince tightens the hold. Puma gets back onto his feet and slams an elbow into
the midsection, and then another, and then another. Vince gasps for air and lets go odd the hold. Puma shakes off the cobwebs and goes off of the ropes
and comes back with a flying clothesline which takes the big man down. Puma gets back to his feet and the adrenaline is running through his body. Vince
gets back his feet but gets caught into a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Vince is down and the crowd is in disbelief about what they just saw.

ROB MARTINEZ: How the hell did he get that big man up? That was a testament to his will power.

Puma has all the momentum back in his hands, and he goes back onto that leg. He starts twisting the knee, with Vince writhing in pain. He is really trying
to out wrestle the Champion. Vince, still lying face down on the mat, has his shin grabbed a hold of and Puma wraps his legs around. Puma starts to twists
the leg, hyper extending the knee in a Cross kneelock. The ref is asking Vince of his condition, and Vince still has no part of giving up. Puma locks the
hold in tighter, but eventually runs out of power and has to release the hold. Vince is one tough son of a bitch.

ROB MARTINEZ: Vincent’s knee has to be hurting like hell right now! This is Puma’s chance right here!

Puma gets back to his feet and yanks Vince back up. He points to the top rope to a pop from the crowd. He has Vince’s arm as he ascends to the top rope.
He puts out his hands in the familiar praying position and comes down, only to be caught by the hand of the Champion. CHOKE F’N SLAM! Vince falls back
onto the ropes and catches himself. He shakes out the injured leg and walks back over to Puma and kneels down and paintbrushes him across the mask. Puma
starts throwing punches up in the air but Vince drops his good knee into his face to a groan from the crowd. Vince gets back to his feet and throws Puma
off of the ropes, Puma bounces back only to be caught into a huge Sit-Down Spinebuster which damn near collapses the building with its force. Vince goes
for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Puma has no quit in him either.

ROB MARTINEZ: These men are going full tilt right now. Anyone’s match!

Vince isn’t discouraged however and stays on top of Puma, unloading a flurry of rights and lefts. Puma eats all of them the hard way and Vince bounces his
opponents head off of the mat for good measure. Vince has hate in his eyes right now. He looks to the outside where the ringside crew are sitting down
and rolls out of the ring. He tosses one of the men off of their chair, grabs it and pushes it into the ring. Vince follows it in and picks it back up.
Puma gets back to his feet… he has no idea… TTHWWWAAACK! Puma drops like a ton of bricks and Vince is all too happy with himself. He raises the chair into
the air and a beer cup is thrown into the ring. Vince picks it up and slurps back the few drops of beer and crushes the cup with his hands. But wait, Puma
is getting back up. Vince notices it and throws another chair shot… THWWWAAAACK! Puma is down again.

ROB MARTINEZ: What a shot! This could be it!

Vince tosses the chair aside and goes for the cover again. ONE! TWO! TH… NO! KICK OUT! Puma will not stay down. Vince can’t believe it. Two huge shots from
the chair but the challenger just will not lose. Vince gets back to his feet now and sets up the chair in the center of the ring. He picks up Puma and
puts his arm around his neck. He goes for a DDT into the Chair! BLOCK! Puma breaks free and Uppercuts the living daylights out of Vince. Vince falls into
the chair. Puma runs off of the ropes… SHINING WIZARD! And Vince falls to the mat, smacking his head off the canvas. Puma goes for the cover now, ONE!
TWO! KICK OUT! Not enough to put the champion away this time. Puma grabs hold of the chair and throws it to the outside. He wants no part of it.

ROB MARTINEZ: What does Puma have in store now? He needs to take this shot right now at ending it!

Puma grabs the legs and goes for the Texas Cloverleaf again, and this time it’s successful. He leans back and Vince has no where to go. They are in the
center of the ring and Puma has no intentions of letting go by his own free will. Vince tries to power out of it, but Puma applies more pressure. Puma
is really wrenching back on the hold until Vince twists his body and turns over, the momentum forces Puma to release the hold. The fans can’t believe it.
Both men seem to have an answer to each others moves. Not discouraged, Puma is back onto his feet and grabs Vince who is using the ropes to get back up.
Puma chops Vince in the throat and then in the chest and pushes him into the corner. Puma goes for the Irish whip and rams Vince into the turnbuckle across
the mat. Puma comes in after but Vince answers by moving out of the way, forcing Puma to hit the turnbuckle hard. Puma stumbles back, and Black kicks him
in the gut and has him up…. NEW HOPE!… NO! FRANKENSTEINER! Puma has Vince rolled up in a pin, ONE! TWO THRE… KICK OUT!

ROB MARTINEZ: So close, but it’s not over. What a damn contest?!

The crowd thought Puma had it, and were already jumping in celebration. Puma gets back to his feet, hot as a baked potato. He lets Vince get back to his
feet and he calls for the FS Buster! But he can’t lift the big man this time. Three hundred forty one pounds of the Carolina Champion is too much for Puma
this time, and he grabs his back in pain. THUMP. A hard right from Vince which sends Puma to the mat. Vince smells blood and starts circling Puma like
a shark. Puma gets back to his feet. NEW HOPE! SLAM! Puma is out. Vince goes for the cover. ONE! TWO! THREE!

DING! DING! DING!

JENNY JERSEY: Here is your winner and STILL REBEL Carolinas Champion…. VINCENT BLACK!

ROB MARTINEZ: A major let down for Puma, but he can’t be disappointed in his performance. Black did what he said he was gonna do. He fights Chad Kurtis
next week, and that will be a huge contest as well. So long from Raleigh!

Black exits the ring, belt over his shoulder and smiling. The Extreme Elite didn’t keep all the belts, but they did do a shit load of damage!
