INFAMOUS: The Return of Barbwire 04/09/2008

INFAMOUS: The Return of Barbwire!
04/09/2008
Closed circuit broadcast and live in the arena, the same thing can be seen. Eight hundred screaming Rebel’s from Charlotte, North Carolina, all chanting…
REBEL! REBEL! REBEL! Inside the ring, we see Rob Martinez of course, but to his left, holding a microphone… RICK GARRETT!

RICK GARRETT: Charlotte… THANK YOU!

The crowd goes crazy, and the REBEL chant gets louder.

RICK GARRETT: From the top of the building, to the guys in the front row… this is an INSANE scene. This building has held wrestling shows from Smoky Mountain
Wrestling back thirteen years ago. Around the same time, it also held one of the first Ultimate Fighting Championship events. In the late nineties, the
Grandfather of Extreme.. ECW, even stopped in this building. No, not that bull shit you see on Tuesday nights. No.. the real deal.

The crowd bursts out with a FUCK VINCE chant.

RICK GARRETT: I was in this building, June of 1999, and witnessed the original ECW for myself. Now, a lot of people have called REBEL an ECW wannabe. That’s
because our rules are similar, and we have hardcore wrestlers like Manny X. Finnegan and Davidson. You’ll see those two men MUTILATE one another later.
But rest assured we are no wannabe. We want to be known for being REBEL, and REBEL only. The first step in being a totally unique brand was instituting
a Number One Contender’s Cup. You’ll see three men, fight over the trophy tonight. All three are exceptional wrestlers, and will be fighting for a golden
ticket to a championship match. You’ll also see Chad Kurtis try to become the first THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION.. but Jake Phoenix isn’t just gonna let that
happen. That match will be FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE IN CHARLOTTE! To further make us unique we had a show back in November named.. TBA. All match stips were
TBA, until two days prior to the show. Next month the next phase begins. At Sands and Slams, you’ll see the first Super Challenge Series. A show totally
booked by the wrestlers.. starting off with the Champions and Number One Contender’s Trophy holder, picking their opponents. Then by random draw the rest
of the roster will pick or be picked to wrestle. A truely special opportunity to see unique matches. It will be broadcast live via closed circuit IN THIS
BUILDING AS WELL!

Rick Garrett looks to the crowd and smiles as the crowd reacts big time..

RICK GARRETT: As internet rumors have reported, and I’m not gonna bullshit you, they’re true… Tonight will bethe last appearances of a few superstars
in a REBEL ring. I’m not pleased with any departures, but this does mean, several new guys will be debuting soon. NOT DONOVAN ASTROS THOUGH! (pop) Wrestling,
especially Indy level wrestling, is a cut throat business. The fact that injuries occur, and some of these guys have real jobs, just like you, are just
facts of life. Things happen, people need to move, people just plain get burned out and quit…but there is one thing that will always happen. REBEL WILL
ALWAYS DELIVER AND WE WILL NEVER GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT!

The crowd pops big time.

RICK GARRETT: We bring in wrestlers, most with crazy personalities, will bring it ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. And if they don’t and short change you guys, then
they can hit the door, and never come back. THE REBEL FANS DESERVE NOTHING LESS THAN THE VERY BEST FROM OUR ROSTER! From Mikey Massacre, to Jake Phoenix,
to everyone in between… the guys on my roster have committed themselves to giving you guys every cent worth of what you paid.

The crowd starts up another REBEL chant begins again.

RICK GARRETT: We don’t sell you a superstar, or couple of superstars to get your ass in that seat. We sell a whole package. Tonight, you will see the Return
of Barbwire.. and this show will most definitely be…

ROB MARTINEZ: INFAMOUS!

The crowd is shown, and we see TONY sitting third row back. He looks kind of sad.

——————————————————————————–
The lights focus in on the ring as Jenny Jersey stands midring, ready to kick off the evening’s matches.

JENNY JERSEY: This is your opening contest of INFAMOUS! It’s set for one fall.

“Rise Up 2006″ by Drowning Pool hits the PA and the crowd boos. They don’t want no Hollywood here in Charlotte.

JENNY JERSEY: First, from Hollywood, California, weighing two hundred and fifty pounds, here’s MISTER… HOLLYWOOD!

Mr. Hollywood steps through the curtain, wearing his trademark HOLLYWOOD shirt and blue jeans. The crowd boos him mercilessly as he trashtalks all the way
to the ring. He soaks in the booes from the crowd, yelling out at one of them, “You don’t know what you’re missing!” He climbs up on the apron, steps through
the ropes, and poses on the top turnbuckle. He smirks at the crowd as the music shifts…

JENNY JERSEY: And his opponent!

“Heretics & Killers” by Protest The Hero fades in as “Rise Up 2006″ fades out, and the crowd begins cheering.

JENNY JERSEY: From Houston, Texas, weighing two hundred and twenty-seven pounds… here’s NICK… EVERHARDT!

Nick Everhardt comes out wearing, hands raised, hopping up and down, getting the blood flowing for this match. He speeds around the ring, slapping hands
all the way around before catching himself on the ring post, jumping up, and landing on the apron! He yells out, “C’MON, CHARLOTTE!” and flips over the
top rope.

ROB MARTINEZ: Nick Everhardt’s got a lot of energy, but we’ve heard this past week that Mr. Hollywood has a lot of bad intentions in store for this newcomer.
The referee is checking both men, making sure they’re ready… it’s go time here at Infamous!

*DING*

Everhardt and Hollywood head to the center of the ring and Everhardt extends his hand out for a handshake. Hollywood looks down at Everhardt’s hand, and
back up to his face, and just laughs. “You want a hand, Nick? I’ll give you a hand!”

*SMACK*

Hollywood slaps the taste right out of Everhardt’s mouth and quickly rushes outside to celebrate! The crowd is not happy at all with this brash newcomer
and they’re letting him have it! Everhardt isn’t happy either and he’s following Hollywood to the floor! Hollywood spots him and it’s a race around the
ring! Hollywood slides in! Everhardt right behind and Everhardt eats a double axehandle to the back on the way in! Hollywood is laying the leather to Everhardt
with forearm strikes to the back!

ROB MARTINEZ: A vicious opening flurry from Mr. Hollywood here in the opening minute! He wants to punish Nick Everhardt and end this match quick!

Everhardt pushes himself up to his feet as Hollywood continues to pummel him with forearm shots. He lifts himself up against the ropes and Hollywood grabs
his arm. Everhardt is whipped across the ring. Running clothesline by Hollywood ducked under! Everhardt catches Hollywood’s arm! Crucifix! Everhardt gets
him over, shoulders are down!

One!

TWO!!

Hollywood slips out!

Hollywood is the first to his feet and brings Everhardt down with a nasty clothesline as he stands! Hollywood taunts the fans on the near side and rolls
out of the ring, looking for hardware. Everhardt’s back up as Hollywood digs under the ring, and Everhardt kicks Hollywood right in the head as he’s digging
for weapons! Hollywood staggers backwards towards the railing as Everhardt slides out of the ring to keep the pressure on and keep Hollywood away from
the plunder.

ROB MARTINEZ: Mr. Hollywood is looking to make good on his promise of barbed wire here in this opening contest.

Everhardt lays in some kicks to the thighs of Hollywood before corralling him and throwing him back into the ring. Everhardt cautiously steps back inside
the ring and goes to town working on Hollywood’s arm and neck, putting pressure across the collarbone as he wrenches back on an armbar. Hollywood twists
and turns to get to a seated position, and Everhardt drives his elbow into Hollywood’s shoulderblade! Hollywood fights the pain and gets to his feet. Everhardt
backs Hollywood against the ropes and tries to whip him off, but Hollywood holds on! Everhardt takes advantage of this by wrapping Hollywood’s other arm
around the top rope and lashes his chest up with a sick sounding chop! Hollywood doubles over in pain grabbing his chest as Everhardt snatches a free arm
and whips him off the ropes… dropkick by Everhardt! Here’s a cover!

One!

TWO!!

THR-Shoudler up!

Everhardt gets up and picks Hollywood up to his feet. Everhardt goes behind the staggered Hollywood and locks in a half nelson…

ROB MARTINEZ: Looks like Everhardt is going for the Kobashi Special… Mr. Hollywood knows it and he’s struggling to get loose!

Hollywood looks for a way out, left, right, and then he swings his leg back, right into the vulnerable regions of Everhardt! A dastardly low blow by Mr.
Hollywood! He rolls out of the ring as Everhardt drops to one knee in pain and Hollywood starts searching under the ring once again, this time undeterred
by his opponent. Hollywood comes up smiling, holding a chair wrapped in barbed wire in his hands as the crowd starts making noise. They may hate Mr. Hollywood
here, but they do love blood! Hollywood slides the chair into the ring and then himself. He goes to pick up the chair, but a yellow boot lands on the chair
first! Hollywood backs off as fast as he can, but not as fast as the kneestrike from Everhardt right to the temple of Hollywood! Hollywood collapses, Everhardt
covers!

One!

TWO!!

THRE–SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST MOMENT!

ROB MARTINEZ: Nick Everhardt is very close to getting a big win here at Infamous! He’s calling for the Hardt-Attack!

Everhardt picks up the stunned Mr. Hollywood and lifts him up onto the top turnbuckle. Everhardt goes up with him! Hollywood trying to block the Hardt-Attack!
Elbows to the side of Everhardt’s head! Everhardt’s struggling to stay up on the top rope! Hollywood grabs Everhardt and jumps down off the turnbuckle!
SNAKE EYES! Hollywood collapses in the corner as Everhardt’s face bounces off the turnbuckle and he staggers back and falls midring! The referee checks
on Everhardt as Hollywood looks over at the barbed wire chair still sitting in the ring. Hollywood slowly crawls over to the chair and picks it up, looking
down at the barbed wire wrapped around the seat and smiling.

ROB MARTINEZ: Something about this Mr. Hollywood isn’t right! He’s starting at that barbed wire like it’s the answer to all his problems… and right now,
maybe it is!

Hollywood turns to look at Everhardt, who is slowly getting to his knees. Hollywood gets to his feet, holding that chair with evil intentions…

Everhardt gets to his knees and looks up at Mr. Hollywood…

*WHACK*

Hollywood brings that barbed wire chair right across Everhardt’s face! Everhardt collapses to the mat, bleeding bad, as Hollywood tosses the chair aside!
“How’s your pretty boy now, Charlotte?”

The crowd boos loudly as Mr. Hollywood covers with one foot!

One!

TWO!!

THRE-EVERHARDT PUSHES THE FOOT OFF!

Mr. Hollywood can’t believe it, and neither can the crowd, as they’re cheering like mad for this newcomer! Hollywood picks Everhardt up and throws some
stiff shots right on Everhardt’s cut up forehead, blood covering Hollywood’s hand and Everhardt’s hairline! Hollywood throws Everhardt into the ropes and
takes him down on the rebound with a big boot! Hollywood covers, hooking the leg this time!

One!

Shoulder up by Everhardt! Hollywood just can’t put this man away!

Hollywood looks visibly frustrated as he pulls Everhardt up-

SMALL PACKAGE BY EVERHARDT!

One!

ROB MARTINEZ: Unbelievable back and forth action here in this opening contest!

Both men get to their feet and Hollywood wraps his hand around Everhardt’s throat, looking for a chokeslam! Everhardt blocks and catches Hollywood’s leg!
EVERPLEX! Both men are down as the referee checks on them! The crowd starts clapping and cheering Everhardt to his feet, blood still dripping from the gashes
on his forehead! Everhardt looks over at Hollywood who is still out! He crawls over and covers!

One!

KICKOUT! THE REF SAYS THREE!

The ref’s calling for the bell! Hollywood didn’t kick out in time!

JENNY JERSEY: The winner of this match, NICK EVERHARDT!

“Heretics & Killers blasts over the PA as Everhardt raises one hand in victory before rolling out of the ring and away from an obviously angered Mr. Hollywood,
who’s currently taking his wrath out on the referee.

ROB MARTINEZ: Mr. Hollywood can’t believe this, he says he kicked out before the three! Nick Everhardt’s going down as the winner of this contest by the
slimmest of margins!

As Mr. Hollywood continues to plead his case, Everhardt circles the ring, slapping the hands of the fans, until he gets to the barbed wire chair. He looks
down at it, picks up the chair, smiles, and takes it with him, a souvenir of this big win.

——————————————————————————–

BONG… BONG…

AC/DC’s “Hells Bells” begins to serenade the sold out crowd. The Lord and God of REBEL enter the arena and receive a very nice ovation. The crowd watched
them on a big screen last week, and this week they see them live. They come out, slap hands with the fans and enter the ring.

JENNY JERSEY: Introducing first, at a combined weight of five hundred, fifty pounds… NATURAL DESTRUCTION!

“Connection” by Elastica takes over the sound waves and out comes the former World Tag Team Champion, and current PIMP CHAMP, Stone Zellor. Lady Sparks
is with him. She looks at her watch and consoles a very pissed off Stone Zellor. He looks through the curtain and shakes his head, and walks down to the
ring.

JENNY JERSEY: And their opponents…

Stone steals the mic.

STONE ZELLOR: I’m not sure where my partner is, but I’m sure he’ll be here soon. But for right now, I’m gonna show you what Stone Mofo Zellor is all about..
ROB MARTINEZ: This has been a huge backstage story that Chet Whettleson has been covering. No one has seen Assman all day.

The match starts off with Stone Zellor standing in the middle of the ring and an empty spot on the ring apron to call a partner. The crowd eats this up,
maybe he’ll get demolished today, they hope. Stone shrugs off the KICK STONE’S ASS chants and locks up with Fire God. Stone being the smaller of the two
gets placed into the corner. He begins to chop Stone’s chest into oblivion. Every chop gets even more lethal and the crowd cheers louder, almost louder
than the chops themselves. He whips Stone into his corner, hard. Stone falls to his knee upon hitting the turnbuckles. Fire God brings Stone to his feet
and makes the first tag of the match. He picks up Stone, Military Press fashion, before tossing Stone stomach first onto Thunder God’s knee.

ROB MARTINEZ: No doubt you shall see plenty of double team moves, unless Assman shows up to even up the odds.

Stone is whipped into the ropes, but explodes on the rebound with a drop kick that takes Thunder God out of the ring. Stone runs to the corner where Fire
God is resting, he smashes his forearm right into his temple, knocking him off the apron. He looks at the entrance, still hoping to see Assman, but still,
nothing. Stone looks out the ring, the Natural Destruction are recouping. Stone shrugs his shoulders, he vaults out of the ring and on to the duo. Thunder
Lord catches him mid flight. Thunder Lord releases Stone in a HUGE FALL AWAY SLAM!. Stone crashes and burns on the tough concrete floors in the arena.
Fire God moves over to Stone, who is now trying to get up. Fire God holds Stone by the head, squeezing on his temple, bringing him up to his feet at the
same time. Stone goes to rake him in the eye, it works, but gets kicked in the knee, bringing him down again. Fire Lord rolls him into the ring. Thunder
Lord rolls in after him and Fire God takes his former position on the apron.

ROB MARTINEZ: Stone needs a tag, but there’s no one to tag in.

Stone rushes over to Thunder Lord and dropkicks him again, this time to his knee. Then Stone hits an enziguri to the temple of Thunder Lord, who falls down
like a sack bricks. Stone rolls out of the ring and searches for a something under the ring. He returns to the ring with a chair. Stone jabs the chair
into the right knee of Thunder Lord. Thunder Lord’s in serious pain and Fire God refuses to watch, he bursts through the ropes, decapitating Stone with
a ruthless clothesline. He drags Thunder Lord to his corner, and the continues his focus on Stone.

ROB MARTINEZ: Stone had a partner in the chair, but it left his possession pretty quickly after Fire God nailed him.

Fire God picks up the chair, he looks at it, he doesn’t hit Stone with it, not at all, he tosses it out of the ring. It’s a bitter-sweet moment for the
fans, they want to see Stone get his with the chair, but they also respect Fire God’s decision to maim someone with his bare hands. He goes in to pick
up Stone, he sends him to the ropes. Stone returns to Fire God and gets a Big Boot to his face. Fire God drags Stone over to his corner, he tags Thunder
Lord, they both DDT Stone into the mat. Stone is driven in like a spike. Thunder Lord covers.

ONE

TWO

FOOT ON THE ROPES!

ROB MARTINEZ: Say what you will about Stone’s attitude, this kid is tough as nails.

Thunder Lord backs up from Stone and stalks him, stalks him closely. Stone gets up, Thunder Lord rushes, scheming for a Running Clothesline, Stone sides
steps him out of the ring. Stone moves slowly, trying to regain his breath. Thunder Lord gets back into the ring, he goes right back to putting the pressure
on Stone, he goes for a Big Boot. Stone catches the boot and Dragon Screw Leg Whips him. The right leg at that. Stone applies a single leg crab on the
right leg of Thunder Lord. Stone yanks and yanks, but Thunder Lord refuses to tap. Fire Lord rushes into the ring, big boots the back of Stone’s head.
ROB MARTINEZ: Stone’s having a hard time keeping his own in this match up. The numbers game is haunting him. This is basically a glorified handicap match,
which we actually have coming up next as well!

Stone, while on the mat, looks over to his corner, no one is there. The crowd has no sympathy for Stone, they’re happy to see this. Thunder Lord limps his
way to the corner, as the fresher Fire God stays in.. Stone stands up, sends a right to Fire God’s face, then a left, another right, an uppercut, a left
hook. He’s battling with all he’s got in him. Then a discus clothesline that knocks Fire God into the corner. Stone gets him into position and…MONKEY
FLIP! Fire God is hurled across the ring. Stone rushes over to the top turnbuckle, closest to Fire God. He leaps, lands directly on Fire God’s stomach
with a splash. He hooks the leg as he stays on Fire God

ONE

TWO

KICK OUT.

ROB MARTINEZ: KICK OUT WITH AUTHORITY!

Stone gets flung right off of Fire God. He returns though, with a vengeance. He begins to choke Fire God right in the middle of the ring, using both hands
to add pressure. He frees his grip and moves over to turnbuckle, he removes the top and middle padding. Stone is now bringing Fire God to his feet, he
goes to Irish Whip to the exposed turnbuckle, but Fire God does not want to move. No budge. Stone gets clotheslined down. Fire God tags in Thunder Lord,
he limps his way towards the Stone who is getting up. Toe trip to Thunder Lord from Stone. He grabs hold of Thunder’s right leg, then sends it back into
the mat, with an extreme amount of force. Thunder rolls and grabs hold of the knee. He tries to get up, but Stone Chop Blocks him back down to the mat.
Stone begins to stomp on the bad knee of Thunder. Stone rolls out of the ring and retrieves the chair from before. He returns to the ring, Fire God is
standing there, guarding Thunder Lord. Fire God’s actions doesn’t concern Stone, he swings at Fire God. Fire God punches the chair, denting it, knocking
it free from Stone’s Grip. “OH SHIT!” Stone says. Fire God WITH A GINORMOUS CHOKESLAM ON STONE. It hit in the center of the ring but Stone bounced near
his corner. Fire God picks up Thunder Lord and drops him on top of Stone before walking away.

ONE

TWO

FOOT ON THE ROPES!

ROB MARTINEZ: The crowd goes crazy? How did his foot get there?

The fans cheer, and they cheer LOUDLY, why? Stone is Stone doesn’t bother to look, he’s too focused on trying to survive out there. Stone then receives
a pat on the back. It’s Assman, it’s ASSMAN! Stone is finally tagged out, he collapses out on the apron.

Assman walks into the ring, and so is Fire God. Assman with a wiggle in the middle of the ring. The crowd explodes, and Fire God, looks to the crowd rather
angrily. Assman wastes little time.. ASS CRACKER ON FIRE GOD. He does another wiggle for the crowd, but in comes Thunder Lord…. THE THUNDERBOLT SPEAR!
ONE

Stone can’t get up.

TWO

Stone’s still out.

THREE!

Stone did everything he could.

JENNY JERSEY: The winners of the match… NATURAL DESTRUCTION!

ROB MARTINEZ: Assman was a little to late, and a little to showy. It cost his team the contest. Stone Zellor however, did his absolute best to win the match,
and to his credit, didn’t get pinned, even when the whole crowd thought it was over. Natural Destruction have a huge win on their record now, and have
a legit case for a future tag title shot.

——————————————————————————–

JENNY JERSEY: Ladies and gentlemen, this next match is scheduled for one fall and is a HANDICAP MATCH!

“Believe” by The Bravery starts up as “The Richest SOB On The Planet” Eric Thompson and his tag team partner, “The Motivator” Bryan J. Williams emerge from
behind the curtain.

JENNY JERSEY: At a combined weight of four-hundred-seventy-nine pounds. Eric Thompson and Bryan Williams. THE DARK MARKET!

The two men walk down the aisle as the crowd boo and jeer them from afar. They seem to be unarmed, but are striding confidently before finally climbing
into the ring as their music dies down.

JENNY JERSEY: And their opponent. He hails from Hollywood, Florida and weighs in at two- hundred-forty-five pounds. THOMAS YOUNG!

“Screams of the Undead” blares out throughout the Grady Cole Center as the crowd pop! They almost the lid off this place as Young emerges from behind the
curtain with a trolley full of weapons. Light tubes, baseball bats with various items stuck in or wrapped around them, chairs, stop signs and what appears
to be a good few meters of barbed wire.

ROB MARTINEZ: This is going to be a brawl, ladies and gentlemen. With the hatred between these competitors following The Dark Market’s attack on Jeff James
last week, I doubt we’ll see much wrestling here — just fighting!

Indeed, and The Dark Market aren’t wasting much time! They’ve leapt from the ring are rushing up the aisle. Young meets them with a forearm smash to Thompson,
followed by one to Williams – before getting caught by a toe kick courtesy of ‘The Richest SOB’. He’s doubled over as both members of The Dark Market hammer
away with some clubbing blows to the back, forcing Young towards the ring as they go. Williams has grabbed the trolley full of weapons and he’s tossing
most of them into the ring as his partner — NO! Thomas Young catches Thompson with an elbow to the midsection! A head butt follows, and then a lariat
takes ‘The Richest SOB’ off his feet to a cheer from the crowd!

Williams turns his attention back to his opponent – and he’s caught by a knee to the midsection before being rolled into the ring. Young follows his opponent
in as both men reach a vertical base at the same time. Uppercut by Young. Forearm by Williams. Elbow smash by Young. And another! And a third! Boot to
the gut and Young hooks the arms — CHOPBLOCK! Eric Thompson helping his partner out, and now they’re stomping a mud hole in the fallen Thomas Young.

ROB MARTINEZ: REBEL Rules means that both men can be in the ring at the same time. Maybe Thomas Young has bitten off more than he can chew here.

The Dark Market guide their opponent back to his feet as they back him against the ropes. An Irish whip sends Young running across the ring — but he holds
on to the top rope! Williams rushes at him – BIG BOOT by Young! Thompson tries – BOOT TO THE GUT by Young! And he hooks the arms. DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BACKBREAKER!
‘The Motivator’ is back on his feet, but Thomas Young has grabbed a light tube! The crowd cheer as Young waits for Williams to turn around … swing …
and miss! Williams ducks out the way, but Young reacts quickly and on the turn SMASHES THE LIGHT TUBE OVER BRYAN WILLIAMS’ SKULL! Pin attempt!

ONE!

TWNOOO! Save by Eric Thompson – with style!

ROB MARTINEZ: Eric Thompson breaking up the pin by smashing a light tube over the back of Thomas Young!

Thompson lifts his opponent back up again, this time pushing him back towards the turnbuckle. A few boots to the midsection for good measure and Eric climbs
to the middle rope for the dreaded ten punch combo! And the crowd chant along…

“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!” *POP*

The crowd cheer as Young hooks ‘The Richest SOB’ ready for the power bomb ONTO THE STOP SIGN! But there’s no pin attempt, because Bryan Williams is getting
back to his feet on the other side of the ring. Young heads over towards him, grabbing him by the back of the head as he hammers away with some right hands
– just to open up that forehead wound a bit more.

ROB MARTINEZ: A nasty cut has been opened up on the forehead of Bryan Williams here, and we’re only five minutes into the match!

‘The Motivator’ is sent against the ropes with an Irish whip as he comes back to a back body drop! But he gets right back up, only to get doubled over by
a toe kick to the midsection. Young lifts his opponent up, and he slams him down with a vertical suplex as the crowd cheer him on. And he rolls over for
pin attempt, getting a two count before Williams kicks out! Young gets back to his feet as he lifts Williams back up as well – LOW BLOW! Thompson from
behind just went down South! Young is doubled over as Thompson passes a light tube to his partner, who smashes it across Young’s back! Followed by a snap
DDT by Eric Thompson! Cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THRNOOO! Shoulder up by Thomas Young!

The crowd cheer, but The Dark Market look frustrated. Very frustrated. Williams slides to the outside in order to rummage around under the ring as his tag
partner, Eric Thompson locks in a rear chin lock to keep their opponent grounded.

ROB MARTINEZ: It looks like Bryan Williams might have found what he wanted. A Louisville slugger and two tables!

Williams throws the bat into the ring, accompanied by one table before setting up the second table on the outside. In the ring, Thompson has released the
submission hold and has put the table against a turnbuckle before lifting Young back to his feet. Williams is back in the ring with the Louisville slugger
in hand! ‘The Richest SOB’ has Thomas Young held in place as Williams connects with a BASEBALL BAT TO THE MIDSECTION! But they’re not done… Williams
hands the bat to his tag partner before holding Thomas Young steady – and Thompson NAILS YOUNG WITH THE BASEBALL BAT!

ROB MARTINEZ: The Dark Market are certainly using this numerical advantage to the best of their ability. And times are looking bleak for Thomas Young.

Once more, The Dark Market members swap positions. Thompson takes his turn to hold Young in place as Bryan Williams has the bat in hand. He swings – BUT
YOUNG DIVES OUT OF THE WAY – and Eric Thompson takes a shot to the gut! He falls to the mat – and Williams is in shock! But Young turns him around – EXPLODER
DDT THROUGH THE TABLE IN THE CORNER!

“Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!”

ROB MARTINEZ: And suddenly, Thomas Young might have found a way back into this match! Thompson getting taken out by his own partner, who then got planted
through the table in the corner … And now, all three men are down!

Thomas Young is crawling towards the ropes, slowly mind you. Bryan Williams is down and out among the table wreckage and Eric Thompson, well, he’s also
using the ropes to get back to his feet.

First it’s Thompson, soon followed by Young and the two men meet in the center of the ring. Right hand by Young, and one from Thompson. They trade shots,
neither man being able to gain an advantage – until Young goes for a haymaker – DUCKED! And ‘The Richest SOB’ explodes with a succession of palm strikes
forcing his opponent back against the turnbuckle! He goes for an Irish whip – but Young reverses, sending Eric back into the corner! Thomas Young charges
in — boot to the face by Thompson – CASH OUT!

ROB MARTINEZ: Eric Thompson hitting his signature move out of nowhere! But he can’t make the cover, he’s exhausted and probably still feeli–

Rob Martinez is interrupted by the cheering crowd as they spy Jeff James running down the aisle! The man who The Dark Market assaulted last week is in the
ring, and he’s gunning for Eric Thompson! James lifts his man back to his feet as he wails away with some rights and lefts to the face and body – and the
crowd are loving this! James takes a step back. SUPERKICK! Straight to the jaw of Eric Thompson, knocking him through the ropes. But he’s still on the
apron … As Jeff James runs against the far ropes – SPEAR! AND THOMPSON CRASHES THROUGH THE TABLE ON THE OUTSIDE!

Thomas Young gets back to his feet, and he sees his brother in the ring. The two men look towards Bryan Williams, who is getting back to his feet. A boot
to the gut by Thomas Young and James dives around the back, locking in a full nelson. Young runs against the ropes – GAME OVER! Williams gets folded up
as Thomas Young hooks a leg.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

JENNY JERSEY: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, THOMAS YOUNG!

ROB MARTINEZ: Thomas Young escapes with the victory after the appearance of Jeff James, but I can’t help but feel that The Dark Market won’t be happy with
this result. This feud is no doubt just getting started! What a brawl!

——————————————————————————–

JENNY JERSEY: Our next match is for the REBEL CAROLINAS CHAMPIONSHIP! Coming out first, weighing in at two-hundred and thirty-five pounds, from Albuquerque,
New Mexico…MIKEY MASSACRE!

“Let It Go” by Def Leppard cues up. Mikey emerges from behind the curtain, a smile on his face. He is holding his spray painted chair in his hand. He gives
thumbs up to the cheering fans as he makes his way to the ring. He climbs up one turnbuckle, hits himself in the forehead three times with his chair, climbs
down and repeats the strange ritual on the other turnbuckle. He throws the chair out of the ring and begins stretching, awaiting the champion.

JENNY JERSEY: And his opponent, the current holder of the REBEL Pro Carolinas’ Championship AND the Longest Reigning Carolinas Champion in REBEL History.
Weighing in at three-hundred and forty-five pounds, from Atlanta Georgia, J.J. NICKELS!

“Theme to a Fake Revolution” by Powerman 5000 cues up. Title draped over his shoulder, Nickels slowly makes his way to the ring, only glancing at the booing
fans once or twice as he remains focused on his opponent. He leaves the belt at ringside and climbs into the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: I think it’s safe to say Nickels is the big favorite here. He has held that title longer than anyone else has in REBEL history. He’s definitely
got the size advantage and the experience advantage, at least the REBEL experience advantage. But, then again, Massacre’s got some serious heart and has
done very well thus far. He works his ass off for the fans.

The opponents are circling each other in the ring. Nickels puts out his hands, challenging Massacre to a test of strength. Massacre shrugs and takes him
up on the offer.

ROB MARTINEZ: Why would he accept that offer? Nickels is CLEARLY stronger than him!

Nickels gains the immediate upper hand, pushing Massacre nearly to his shoulders. But right before they hit the mat, Massacre pushes back, getting almost
up to standing position, when Nickels gains the advantage again. His shoulders hit the mat. One! Two! Massacre pushes back! They are heading toward standing
position. Nickels gains the advantage again, pushing Massacre towards the mat. But Massacre pushes back! They are back to standing position. Massacre with
a knee to the gut. Massacre with a right, but Nickels blocks it. Nickels with another right! Massacre is staggering back. Nickels goes for a lariat but
Massacre ducks it and runs off of the ropes. He goes for a cross body block but Nickels catches him and hoists him up over his shoulders. He is going for
a death valley driver! But Massacre is elbowing Nickels! Massacre tries for a tornado DDT reversal! But Nickels grabs him around the waist! Huge belly
to belly overhead!

ROB MARTINEZ: What a SUPLEX! Nickels with a cover! One! Tw– no! Massacre with a shoulder up!

Nickels picks Massacre up, Irish whip… running powerslam! Nickels grabs Massacre’s legs and turns him over for a Boston crab. He is literally sitting
on Massacre as he pulls on his legs.

ROB MARTINEZ: They are in the MIDDLE of the RING! This isn’t good for Massacre! The Boston Crab done with PERFECTION!

Massacre looks to be in great pain. The referee is asking him as if has had enough. He ignores the ref. Massacre begins using his arms to push himself up.
ROB MARTINEZ: My God! How is he LIFTING Nickels? How is he DOING that?

Massacre begins crawling toward the ropes, all the while lifting Nickels to give himself enough space with which to crawl. He grabs the ropes. Nickels drags
him back into the middle! He tries to re-apply but no! Massacre flips over and kicks Nickels’ chest. Nickels staggers back. Massacre with a drop toe hold
and Nickels is down! Both men stand at the same time and then meet in the middle with a tie-up! Nickels cinches in a headlock but Massacre squeezes out
of it and applies a waist lock from behind the champ. He trips Nickels and falls down on top of him. But Nickels isn’t staying down! He begins standing
with Massacre on his back. Massacre is applying a sleeper hold but Nickels is staggering around, trying to throw Massacre from off of his back. Nickels
figures out what to do and jumps backwards, landing hard, squeezing Massacre between himself and the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: That HAD to have knocked the wind out of MIKEY!

Nickels stands. He is eliciting boos from the audience but completely ignores them. Nickels leaves the ring and pulls a table out from underneath the ring.
He sets it up outside of the ring and rolls back in. Massacre is just getting to his feet. Nickels with hard rights. He whips Massacre into the corner
and runs in for a big splash. But Massacre moves out of the way! Nickels hits the turnbuckle hard! Massacre grabs Nickels head and begins bashing it into
the turnbuckle pads! The fans begin counting! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Massacre looks to the fans and gives them a thumbs up and a smile.
He drags Nickels and drags him across the ring and sets him for a powerbomb.

ROB MARTINEZ: Mikey’s gonna try to powerbomb Nickels through that table outside of the ring? Can he get the champ up?

Mikey gets him up but Nickels is able to break free. He lands behind Mikey with his back turned to him and grabs him and hoists him up in a crucifix! He
turns him around! Civil Disobedience through the table on the outside! Some fans are chanting REBEL! REBEL! while others are booing Nickels. Nickels to
the outside. Nickels picks up Massacre’s lifeless body and tosses him into the ring. Nickels with a cover. One! Two! NO! Mikey kicks out! Nickels looks
confused and frustrated.

ROB MARTINEZ: The champ is going back to the outside. He is getting another table! This time, he’s putting this one in the ring.

Nickels sets up the table. He takes Morrison and tries to put him on the table but Morrison is struggling! Morrison with an elbow to Nickels’ gut. A right
hand! Another! A third! He Irish whips the champ, off of the ropes and hits him with a dropkick! Nickels is quick to his feet, Morrison with another dropkick.
Nickels back up, a third dropkick. A fourth! The fans are beginning to cheer for Mikey. Nickels is down.

ROB MARTINEZ: I can’t believe how quickly he recovered from that Civil Disobedience! Nickels is getting back to his feet. Massacre applies a facelock. Rolling
release suplex on the big man!

Massacre drags Nickels over to the table and puts him on it. He climbs the turnbuckle and turns around, facing the fans, preparing for a moonsault. Meanwhile,
Nickels has risen up and is standing on top of the table! Massacre with a moonsault but Nickels catches him in mid-air! Nickels jumps off of the table
with Massacre, delivering a vicious tombstone piledriver to the mat! Nickels with a cover! One! Two! Th– no! Massacre kicks out! He is in disbelief and
covers him again. One! Two! NO! KICKOUT!

ROB MARTINEZ: My GOD! How did he KICK OUT TWICE?

Nickels sets Massacre up on the table and climbs up the turnbuckle. World’s Biggest Moonsault to Massacre through the table! That injured Nickels too but
he makes a cover. One! Two! NO! ANOTHER kickout!

ROB MARTINEZ: Oh! My! God!

The crowd is going nuts, chanting MIKEY! MIKEY! MIKEY! Nickels goes to the outside and grabs Massacre’s spray painted chair! He sets it up on the ground.
Picks up Massacre… fisherman’s buster on the chair! One! Two! THR– NO! NO! Another kickout! Nickels to the outside. He is setting up another table.
What does he have in mind this time?

ROB MARTINEZ: Massacre’s eyes haven’t opened in the past FOUR minutes! Yet he CONTINUES to KICK out! Where does he find it in him?

He climbs back into the ring and picks up Massacre. He is bringing him to the top of the turnbuckle, looking down at the set-up table below. He seizes Massacre
by the throat. Super choke bomb to the outside through the table!

ROB MARTINEZ! Oh! My! God!

Nickels is hurt by the move too but not nearly as much as Massacre. Nickels slowly gets to his feet. He grabs Massacre and throws him into the ring. The
cover. One! Two! Thr– NO NO! ANOTHER kickout! Unbelievable! Nickels is in shock! He picks up Massacre… hoists him up the air… gorilla press! And he
lands him so that his head hits the steel chair! ANOTHER cover! One! Two! Another KICKOUT! Nickels picks him up and puts him on his shoulders.

ROB MARTINEZ: Looks like Nickels is going to go for a DVD on top of the chair!

But Massacre reverses into a tornado DDT! This time it doesn’t get reversed! Both men are breahing heavy, lying on their backs. Nickels is the first one
to stir. He rolls toward the ropes then uses them to pull himself up. He waits for Massacre to stand. Massacre crawls toward the other ropes, using them
to pull himself up. Nickels charges him… but Massacre ducks his head and back body drops Nickels to the outside… no!

ROB MARTINEZ: Nickels somehow landed on the apron! Vicious clothesline to Massacre sends him down! Nickels climbing up the turnbuckle. And delivers a SPLASH
from the TOP ROPE! Nearly FOUR HUNDRED pounds SPLASHING onto MIKEY! A cover!

One! Two! Three–no! No! Nickels, frustrated, runs over to the steel chair and picks it up. He ignores the booing and the hissing as he waits for Massacre
to stand. Slowly Massacre stands. Nickels charges forward the steel chair and blasts Massacre across the forehead! Massacre staggers back… and smiles!
He turns to the left and the right, smiling and giving thumbs up to the fans.

ROB MARTINEZ: Does Mikey LIKE chair shots? Nickels swings and hits him again! He DOESN’T fall! He is SMILING!

Nickels charges a third time but this time Mikey ducks. He kicks Nickels in the gut. Nickels drops the chair. Mikey picks it up and swings it at Nickels.
Nickels ducks and kicks HIM in the GUT! He drops the chair. Nickels bends over to pick it up and Mikey gives him a la magistral cradle! The crowd is going
nuts! One! Two! Kickout!

ROB MARTINEZ: What a comeback by Massacre! I thought he was DONE!

Both men back to their feet and both run in for clotheslines… and each get knocked down! Nickels is crawling to his feet first. He bends over to to get
the steel chair and Massacre, who was playing possum leaps into the air and delivers a LEAPING DDT onto the CHAIR! Nickels is stunned but rising to his
feet, showing quite a bit of resistance himself. Massacre hits him with an atomic drop, runs off of the ropes and hits him with a flying bulldog onto the
chair! A cover! One! Two! No! A kickout by Nickels! Massacre back to his feet. He pulls Nickels up… but Nickels picks him up for a thunderous body slam!
Nickels bends over to pull Massacre up, but Massacre kicks him the face. Nickels staggers back. Massacre gets to his feet. The crowd is solidly behind
him. Mikey! Mikey! Mikey! He kicks Nickels in the stomach. DDT on the chair!

ROB MARTINEZ: He usually tries a Brainbuster then the frog splash… the aptly-named Massacre. But Nickels is huge, so the DDT takes it place. He takes
the chair and puts it on the FACE of the CHAMP! Now’s going up top!

No, he isn’t! Massacre thinks better of it. Or simply wanted to show the fans something else first. Climbs down, walks over to Nickels… and delivers ANOTHER
DDT on the CHAIR! Now he’s climbing up again having placed the chair on top of his face. No he isn’t! He goes outside of the ring! What is he doing? He
takes out a table! And puts it in the ring. He sets it up. He walks over to Nickels. A THIRD DDT on the chair!

ROB MARTINEZ: Nickels has the CRIMSON MASK! The CROWD is going NUTS! They love this guy! He just wants to entertain the fans! He lays Nickels across the
table! He is going up top! A FROG SPLASH! The MASSACRE! OH MY GOD! Nickels rolled out of the way and Mikey crashed THROUGH the TABLE!

The crowd’s reaction is mixed. About half are booing while the other half is cheering REBEL! REBEL! REBEL! Both men are OUT! The referee begins a ten count.
One! Two! Both men are stirring and beginning to stand. Three! Four! Five! Both men are up. They run towards each other and knock each other both down
with clotheslines! The referee begins his count again! One! Two! Three! Four! Nickels is stirring. He landed near the chair and he grabs it and begins
to rise. Massacre is standing now too. Five! They are up. Nickels charges forward with the chair, but Massacre with a boot, knocking it back into JJ’s
face. JJ staggers to the corner. Massacre gets the big man to sit on the top turnbuckle. Massacre hooks his arms around Nickels’ neck! Exploder Suplex!
His new finisher: the REBEL Yell! He used the ropes for momentum and got the big man over… WHAT A MOVE!

ROB MARTINEZ: One! Two! Three! For the FIRST time in MONTHS we have a NEW CAROLINAS’ CHAMP… MIKEY MASSACRE!

JENNY JERSEY: The winner and NEW REBEL CAROLINAS CHAMPION… MIKEY MASSACRE!

The crowd explodes. Mikey gets off of the fallen Nickels and looks to the ref, confirming that he has won the match. He stares out at the fans, his eyes
wide with disbelief. They begin chanting his name in unison. MIKEY! MIKEY! MIKEY! He has tears in his eyes as the referee leaves the ring to get his new
title.

ROB MARTINEZ: This is the FIRST title in Massacre’s career! I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone look so SURPRISED, so genuinely HAPPY winning a title before!
Mick Foley eat your heart out, you got some competition for the toughest wrestler ever!

The referee hands Massacre the title and he stares down at it, a tear falling across his face. He holds it up in the air as the fans continue to chant his
name. He takes it and hits himself in the forehead with it, then smiles and raises a thumb up at the crowd. He extends a hand to Nickels who is leaving
the ring but Nickels ignores him the can be seen exiting through the crowd. Mikey Massacre has shocked the world!

——————————————————————————–

JENNY JERSEY: The following contest is set for one fall AND IS A NON-TITLE MATCH!

“Baila Casanova” starts to play. A moment later, out comes El Rey de Corizones, accompanied by Montaña Rose, to great cheers. El Rey is holding carrying
two dozen roses in his hands. He starts handing a rose to every lady, young or old.

JENNY JERSEY: Introducing first, the current REBEL World tag team champions! Accompanied by Montaña Rose, he weighs in at two hundred and forty five pounds.
From Villahermosa, Tobasco, Mexico… EL REY DE CORIZONES!

“Come and listen to a story ’bout a man named Jed / Poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed!” El Rey waits for his partner to come out. Cuzin Zeke
emerges, instantly acknowledging the fans who are cheering for him. The crowd is really behind the two of them.

JENNY JERSEY: And his partner… he weighs in at two hundred and fifty nine pounds. He is from Turkey Cross, Kentucky… CUZIN ZEKE!

El Rey walks down one side of the aisle, handing out roses to women he passes by. Zeke walks down the opposite side of the aisle, clapping hands as he walks.
Montaña Rose walks between them, to the delight of many men in the audience.

JENNY JERSEY: And their opponents escorted to the ring by Tony’s mom, weighing in at a combined weight of four hundred fifty pounds, the team of Jeremy
Daines and Enrique Rodriguez, THE NATION OF INNOVATION!

“King and Queens” by Aerosmith fires up as the fans let “The Nation” know how they feel about them. Enrique is playing up to the crowd enjoying the spotlight
as Daines just makes his way to the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: This maybe a non-title match, but The Nation of Innovation knows a win over the champions will put them in line for a title match and turn
some heads in the process. This should be a hell of a match.

El Rey and Enrique start thing off with a exchange of kicks and holds neither one being able to get the advantage until El Rey lands a standing drop kick
and follows it up by forcing the smaller Enrique to the corner with a series of chops. El Rey lands a heart kick dropping Rodriguez to the mat. El Rey
climbs the ropes and goes for a elbow drop, but Enrique is able to move-NOBODY HOME. Both men are going for the tag. Enrique gets there first as Daines
comes in like a ball of fire and grabs El Rey by the legs keeping him from the tag.

ROB MARTINEZ: Great match so far “The Nation” are proving themselves to be contenders for the REBEL tag team belts. Only thing that bugs me is, what is
“The Nation’s” deal with Tony’s mom and where is TONY?

Daines wastes no time and puts Rey in a modified sharpshooter. The question is how much does Rey have left. He tries to reach the ropes, but can’t reach
them. Cuzin Zeke is reaching for the tag and Rey connects. Daines doesn’t even realize the tag has been made as Zeke charges in a pulls Daines off his
partner tossing him like a sack of taters. Rey and Zeke use a series of double team moves on Daines before Enrique breaks it up. Referee, Jimmy Johnson,
finally gets Enrique and Rey out of the ring as the action continues between Daines and Zeke. Zeke takes advantage with a mule kick followed by a foot
stomp. But, Daines is back to his feet and lands a serious of chops before the two men begin to go back and forth.

ROB MARTINEZ: It’s been back and forth, back and forth all night. The question is who is finally going to get an advantage and win this thing. In other
news I was just told TONY was briefly spotted in the crowd, but left upset and crying. The drama continues.

Zeke gets the advantage forcing Daines to the corner. The fans are really getting into this match now as they get behind Zeke and Rey. Zeke makes the tag
as Rey climbs to the top of the ropes Zeke picks up and slams Daines as Rey comes off the top rope with a elbow drop. Rey makes the cover.

One…

Two…

Enrique in for the save as all four men exchange blows going back and forth. Jimmy Johnson tries to get control of the match, but is pushed out of the way
by Enrique. Enrique and Rey take their fighting to the outside of the ring as Tony’s mom gets involved and slaps Rey across the face. Inside the ring Zeke
seems to have gotten the upper hand on Daines after a long back and forth battle. Zeke has Daines in cobra clutch in the middle of the ring. The crowd
is chanting tap, tap. Tap.

ROB MARTINEZ: It seems that Daines may be in dire straits here with his partner busy on the outside and no way to reach the ropes this maybe all she wrote.
Daines somehow manages to reverse the move and break it, as order is finally restored to the outside as Daines goes for his corner looking for the tag,
but he is stopped by Zeke. Zeke drags Daines back to his corner and makes the tag to Rey. Rey comes in on fire landing a series of drop kicks. Rey goes
for the hyper extended shoulder and follows up with an arm trap. Daines is in pain now as the crowd starts up with chants of tap, tap, tap once again as
Rey applies a standing leg lock. Enrique tries to come in for the save but is greeted by a boot from Zeke. It looks like Daines is about to tap, but WAIT!
Someone wearing a black hoodie has just hit the ring and saved Daines and he is cleaning house first taking out Rey then helping Enrique double team Zeke.
ROB MARTINEZ: Who is that and why are they here. It looks like… It can’t be, but it does look like Tittylover, but why?

Daines rolls over and makes the cover on Rey as Johnson counts…

One…

Two…

Three…

JENNY JERSEY: And here are your winners, Jeremy Daines and Enrique Rodriguez, THE NATION OF INNOVATION!

ROB MARTINEZ: What a big win for “The Nation”. The question remains, was that Tittylover who helped“The Nation” win this match? Now is looks like he is
leaving hand in hand with Tony’s mom! This is INSANE!

——————————————————————————–

ROB MARTINEZ: What a show this has been, REBEL fans! It is time for one of the most anticipated re-matches in REBEL Pro Wrestling history. It will be REBEL
World Heavyweight Champion Jake Phoenix defending the title against “The Show” Chad Kurtis… and once again, these two REBEL warriors will go at it. Let’s
go to the ring!

“Guess who’s back?”

And the REBEL fans get to their feet as the introduction to “Cocky” picks up. They look expectantly to the entrance way…

HIT IT.

“They say I’m COCKY
And I say WHAT?
It ain’t braggin’ mother fucker if you back it up!”

JENNY JERSEY: The following contest is FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE IN CHARLOTTE and is set for one fall, and is for the REBEL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE! Introducing
first, from Paducah Kentucky and fighting out of Durham, North Carolina! At six-three, two-hundred thirty pounds… He is the former two-time REBEL World
Heavyweight Champion… “THE SHOW!” CHAD KURTIS!

And THE SHOW Chad Kurtis storms through the curtains to a HUGE POP! Chad stops right in front of the entrance, hood over his face, arms out. He starts heading
to the ring, reaching out red-taped up forearms to slap hands with the fans along the front row. Chad goes all the way around the ring before leap up to
the ring apron and then springing over the top rope into the ring. He throws the hood back and swings his arms out, posing for the crowd, before pulling
off the hoodie and tossing it into the crowd. Chad hits the top rope and looks out to the entrance way, motioning the belt around his waist.

ROB MARTINEZ: The REBEL Pro wrestling fans with a HUGE ovation for Chad Kurtis, a man who has come a long way. It was just two months ago at “Bloody Valentine”
that “The Show” defeated Stylin’ Kyle Roberts in a mind-blowing barbed wire steel cage to win the World title. And tonight, he can take it back from a
man he has never pinned, a man he MUST pin to regain the gold…

“SURPRISE! YOU’RE DEAD!”

JENNY JERSEY: And now… from Fort Lauderdale, Florida! He stands six-nine and weighs two-hundred and eighty-nine pounds! He is the reigning, and defending
REBEL PRO World Heavyweight Champion… JAKE PHOENIX!

And then the big brutish Jake Phoenix comes through the curtain, REBEL World Title dangling from his hand. His eyes are hidden by his ever-present black
Oakleys. The crowd gives a mixed reaction. Many fans boo, The Show certainly getting a louder favorable reaction. But once again, there is a contingent
of fans – even bigger than last week – that stand up and cheer their lungs out for the big Phoenix! Jake snorts in their direction, once again surprised,
but a little less so than last week…

ROB MARTINEZ: But you have to think that this kind of match, Falls Count Anywhere, has to play into the champion’s favor. Jake Phoenix’s strategy is simple:
Hit things until they stop moving! And this big man hits hard. It will be interesting to see what kind of strategy the former All-American wrestler uses
here WHOA! THE SHOW OVER THE TOP ROPE RIGHT ONTO PHOENIX! RING THE BELL, THIS IS UNDERWAY!

Referee Jimmy Johnston does just that as the crowd goes crazy! Chad not even waiting for Jake Phoenix to get into the ring, taking him down with a slingshot
cross body all the way to the floor! The Show firing right hands into the head of Jake Phoenix, who is more stunned than hurt, but The Show is ALL over
him. Chad pulls Jake up, who stops that with a big shot to the gut. Jake with an Irish whip to Chad Kurtis, REVERSED, Phoenix right into the steel ring
post! Jake turns around with a grimace, holding his right shoulder, DROPKICK KURTIS! Sends Jake flying backwards cracking the back of his head right into
the steel ring post again! Chad yells to the fans, then drops an elbow, going for a quick cover. ONE, T—

Only a one-count, Jake throws Chad off. So much strength in the near seven-foot REBEL Pro champion. Chad Kurtis pulls Jake up by the hair and sends him
into the ring. A few fans boo, wanting Falls Count Anywhere to mean ANYWHERE… Chad with an Irish whip, followed by a drop-toe hold! Phoenix hits the
canvas and Chad floats over into a headlock!

ROB MARTINEZ: Chad Kurtis absolutely taking it to Jake Phoenix like we’ve never seen anybody do in the early going! And now he’s brought it back in the
ring. If there’s one area where The Show has the advantage, it’s in the pure wrestling category. He was an All-American at Duke University, he is a decorated
professional champion, and he’s done it all in the ring. This may be the best strategy The Show could use, even if the REBEL fans want to see utter mayhem.
Phoenix gets up, Chad just working the headlock like nothing else. Jake counters with a back suplex, Chad lands on his feet, hooks a rear waist lock. Phoenix
gets his hands underneath and breaks the grip, spins around into his own rear waistlock and then takes Chad down to his belly. Phoenix paintbrushes the
back of “The Show’s” head and stands up with a ugly grimace. His fans cheer loudly as the others boo. Chad gets up, Phoenix smirking. “You want to wrestle,
huh?” The Show shrugs and the two circle.

Lock-up, the bigger Jake Phoenix absolutely out muscling The Show. He uses that strength to get behind Chad with another waist lock, looking for a German
Suplex, but Chad throws his weight forward, refusing to let go. Chad goes to Jake’s iron grip… and manages to break it with a struggle! He uses all his
power to get Jake’s hands away from his waist, then slips behind Jake! And then WHOA! The Show with a side takedown, slamming Jake on his belly showing
great power…

And The Show rides Jake, paint brushing the champion on the back of the head before getting up. Jake roars in anger at that as the crowd goes crazy. It’s
Chad’s turn to smirk, and Jake doesn’t look too happy. He snorts and makes it look like he doesn’t care.

ROB MARTINEZ: And I don’t think the champion is altogether pleased at being rid by Chad Kurtis, no matter how he tries to hide it. And if there’s one thing
Jake Phoenix is unaccustomed to, it’s coming out on the short end. Chad Kurtis gave it right back to him!

Jake circles, snorting like an angry bull. They lock-up again — Jake just SHOVES Chad into the ropes.

Oh.

Chad gets up, Jake says come on in again. They lock-up — another SHOVE down to the canvas. Phoenix flexes a bicep, smirking. He’s damn well the stronger
of the two men, that’s not for dispute. Once more Chad gets up and Jake says “Aw come on, let’s tie up and have your ‘wrestling’ match, bitch.” The Show’s
face is steel.

They tie-up

NO! Chad sneaks right behind Phoenix this time quick as a whip! Jake turns around, THE SHOW with a right hand! Another! Another! He actually has Jake Phoenix
reeling! Phoenix against the ropes, Chad Kurtis charges him with a clothesline, countered by a backdrop sending Chad ALLTHEWAYTOTHE — ring apron. Phoenix
turns around, he senses it didn’t go quite as well as he wanted. He fires on Chad, blocked! Chad grabs around the head and drops down, hotshotting Jake
on the top rope! Phoenix hits the canvas, holding his throat, and The Show leaps back up to the ring apron. Phoenix gets up slowly, and Chad waits for
the perfect moment…

SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK CONNECTS!

The Show covers, ONE, TWO, kick-out!

Well then, it’s time for a STANDING MOONSAULT!

ONE, TWO, KICK-OUT!

ROB MARTINEZ: Chad Kurtis WILL NOT BE DENIED! We have never — NEVER — seen any wrestler dominate Jake Phoenix like this! I don’t think Jake Phoenix
even remembers a time when he was outmaneuvered at every time like he is right here.

And now “The Show” pulls Phoenix to his feet, hooking him for an Inverted STO/Flatliner — Phoenix don’t want that one! He elbows Kurtis in the side of
the head to get free, then hits a boot to the gut. That stuns “The Show” and Jake takes full advantage, backing off the ropes and turning his man inside
out with a sickening lariat.

ROB MARTINEZ: And just like that, Jake Phoenix may have turned the match around. When you have the power, the strength behind you that Jake Phoenix does…
one big move might be all you need.

Phoenix gets up, stomping Chad a few times before roughly pulling him up. A furious, maybe even feeling humiliated, Jake Phoenix literally picks up and
throws Chad Kurtis into the turnbuckle hard. He steps in and throws his first big soupbone of the match right across the face of Chad. Other hand, soup
bone, another one, and then right into the mid-section with repeated rapid-fire blows.

ROB MARTINEZ: The World Champion using what brung him to the dance!

Phoenix with an Irish whip of Chad onto the ropes, WITH IMPACT. Chad can’t help but stagger out as Jake hits the opposite ropes BIG BOOT! The Show goes
down… cover! ONE, TWO, KICK-OUT! Phoenix yells at Johnson that it was a three. He throws a couple shots to The Show before grabbing a handful of hair
and pulling him up. Arm-bar… into a short-arm clothesline that floors The Show.

Jake Phoenix looks out over the crowd, smiling an ugly smile. A third of the fans cheer, but many more boo. That don’t bother Jake. That’s just the way
he likes it.

The Show fires a shot at Phoenix that momentarily stuns the champ, but Jake just hammers down across The Show’s shoulder blades to stop that. The sick thud
of Jake’s forearms landing across The Show’s bare back! The Show sent into the corner. Phoenix uses the big size 16 to choke the man out, and it’s all
legal here in REBEL Pro Wrestling. Jimmy Johnson can’t do a thing about it.

Finally Jake lets go, he’s not going to beat the man that way, but he sure is doing damage, The Show gasping for air. Jake with a boot to the face, and
then picks up The Show. POWERBOMB — The Show fighting! On top of Jake Phoenix’s shoulders, throwing right hands in desperation! But Phoenix won’t be
denied, POWERBOMB INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! The Show hits the canvas, COVER!

ONE!

TWO!

THKICKOUT!

ROB MARTINEZ: My God! Oh my God, what a powerbomb to the turnbuckle, but somehow The Show kicked out! We’ve seen his resiliency, his heart time and time
again, we remember how he survived so much in his match against Stylin’ Kyle in February. But if Phoenix keeps hitting moves like this, I don’t know how
much longer that heart will hold out.

It might not be very long at all, as Phoenix raises on arm, classic Undertaker-style, waiting, waiting… Chad Kurtis finally pulls himself up and turns
around GOOZLE. CHOKESLAM— The Show swings around behind! Phoenix turns around, Chad with a right hand! Another! Another! Phoenix with a kneelift to cut
him off, Irish whips Chad into the ropes, Big Boot, Chad ducks under it, comes back with an HBK-style flying forearm! Phoenix doesn’t go down, staggers,
Chad throws a mix of rights and forearms, backing Jake into the ropes. Chad with a head of steam, runs the ropes, CLOTHESLINE

AND BOTH MEN GO OVER THE TOP TO THE FLOOR BELOW!

The crowd is on their feet, knowing that business is about to pick up. Chad Kurtis is the first on his feet, however, and he heads to the ring apron, what’s
he trying to do here? Chad back in the ring, he runs through the ropes SUICIDE DIVE

GOOD.

GOD.

Jake Phoenix grabbed a nearby steel chair and THREW IT AT KURTIS IN MID-FLIGHT, RIGHT IN THE FACE. “The Show” splats on the concrete, dead. Jake makes a
cover, ONE, TWO,

KICK-OUT!

ROB MARTINEZ: Chad Kurtis wants it so bad, but it may have cost him right there. Good God, what a brutal move by Jake Phoenix. And now he may be in control
on the outside… and that’s a dangerous place!

Jake picks up Chad, rocking him with a soupbone. Another one knocks Chad over the guardrail into the first couple rows. Jake steps over the guard rail big-man
style, and picks up The Show. “MOVE!” he yells and the fans scatter. IRISH WHIP —

Chad reverses

DROP TOE-HOLD!

Wrestling from The Show once again, but this time Phoenix smashes his face right into a chair! The Show then grabs a chair of his own, what’s he doing?
He leaps up onto the guardrail and… MOONSAULT WITH A STEEL CHAIR ONTO JAKE PHOENIX! HOLY CROW! ONE! TWO! THKICK-OUT!

ROB MARTINEZ: The fans here in Charlotte are loving every minute of this! “The Show” sacrificing his own body to take out Jake Phoenix, almost scoring a
three-count right there. This match is taking its toll on both men, what will it take for either man to win this?

Chad is up first, wincing in pain. That move hurt him too, but not as much as Jake. He grabs a steel chair, Jake is up, and we all know The Show grew up
in Kentucky, because it’s a swing any Louisville Slugger would appreciate! CLANG! Jake actually doesn’t go down, he just seems to sag in one spot, lights
out. The Show grabs him… FLATLINER ONTO THE CONCRETE! Chad sucks up the pain and hooks a leg…

ONE!

TWO!

THKICKOUT!

Jake will not be denied, but how much more can he take? Even this big man? “The Show” says it’s time to finish it, he pulls Jake up with his head between
his legs! Security is trying to keep the wild crowd from getting too close, they’re fighting in the scattered sea of chairs that were the fourth and fifth
rows.

CK FINALE!

Jake counters with a double leg-take down! He cinches Chad up, snarling, and then catapults him even further away from the ring! They are beneath the balcony
area in the Grady Cole Center, but this ain’t Opera! Chad crashes into a series of chairs and comes to rest on his back. Jake sees a nearby table and momentarily
considers it… but he remembers that he almost lost their last meeting trying to set up a table. Instead, he stomps on Chad Kurtis to the mixed cheers
and boos of the crowd. More boos then cheers, but Jake just smirks.

ROB MARTINEZ: The CK Finale could have ended this and brought the REBEL title back around Chad’s waist, but instead Jake Phoenix is back on the offensive,
and this does not look good for the challenger! What is Phoenix doing with that chair? He’s got it set up, what is he, want to take a seat… oh no. OH
NO! PHOENIX WITH THE GOOZLE — CHOKESLAM THROUGH THE OPEN CHAIR! OH MY GOD! CHAD KURTIS IS BROKEN IN HALF!

The crowd begins to chant HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT. No KIDDING. Jake drops down, exhausted, and makes a cover. He counts in the air along with Jimmy Johnson’s
count…

ONE

TWO

THREEEEEEEEE

NO! NO! NO! KURTIS WITH THE SHOULDER UP ON SHEER INSTINCT AND DESPERATION!

HOW? HOW? The crowd can’t believe it, the volume just amped up, Jake Phoenix is going “DIE ALREADY!” He looks out over the fans, evil intentions on his
face, teeth clenched.

A thumb drawn across his throat.

Somehow, someway, Chad Kurtis is getting to his feet. Is he even all there? It won’t matter.

Jake Phoenix scoops him up, flips him upside down, and delivers the second TOMBSTONE.

At least, that was the plan.

Chad Kurtis kicks and struggles and manages to slide out behind Jake Phoenix! He locks up Jake from behind, and then delivers the Backdrop Driver on the
concrete.

Starmaker.

Kurtis can’t cover immediately, the crowd going ballistic. Kurtis, reaching an arm across Jake finally, with the cover.

ONE

TWO!

THREEE

NO!

Jake Phoenix kicks out! He kicks out!

ROB MARTINEZ: HOW! HOW DID HE DO IT? I can’t believe it, you’ve got to be kidding me!

Chad Kurtis must feel the same way. He gets up, slowly, and steels himself for one last gasp. Jake is getting up… Chad with a toe-kick! CK Finale, Jake
won’t go over, backdrop, Chad lands on his feet. Jake turns around WHIP! CHAIR HUCKING! Jake staggered, Chad clocks him with another chair shot! Jake is
still on his feet, swaying, and The Show grabs a table stacked near the “EXIT” sign where they are. What in the… The Show remembers how he was beaten
last time, a Tombstone through a table. He quickly sets the table up, giving Jake time to regain his

bearings…

WHAM!

Another sick chair shot from Chad Kurtis! And this time Jake Phoenix falls on top of the table, eyes glazed over. And Chad Kurtis — disappears through
the “EXIT” doorway?

ROB MARTINEZ: Wait a minute, where did Chad just go? Jake Phoenix is laid out on top of this table, the lights are on but I don’t think anybody’s home.
This crowd is as confused as I am… oh god. Oh my God, Chad Kurtis, what are you thinking? What are you thinking, son, think of your career!

The Show has appeared IN THE BALCONY. Jake Phoenix STILL has not moved. He’s directly below as The Show steps out onto the edge of the Balcony, the ledge,
the crowd STANDING as one, people covering their mouths in horror, fans chanting “SHOW! SHOW! SHOW! SHOW!” rabidly! Chad Kurtis looks down at the motionless
form of Jake Phoenix, at least fifteen feet below him…

Flash back to Kurtis vs Roberts, Bloody Valentine. “The Show” leaps off the top of a steel cage with an unbelievable 630 degree splash, finally putting
Kyle away after one of the greatest matches in REBEL Pro history to win, undisputedly, the REBEL Pro World Heavyweight Title.

THE SHOW LEAPS

TWO COMPLETE REVOLUTIONS

JAKE PHOENIX SLIDES OFF THE TABLE

CHAD CRASHES AND BURNS THROUGH IT TO THE FLOOR BELOW, NOBODY HOME.

The crowd chants HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, Jimmy Johnson checking on “The Show” frantically as the crowd is going crazy, concerned, excited, cheering, disbelieving…
Jake Phoenix is barely moving himself. But he is able to throw an arm across Chad Kurtis’ heaving chest in the wreckage and splinters of the table.

ONE

TWO

THREEEEEE SHOULDER UP.

ROB MARTINEZ: HOW? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE? CHAD KURTIS SOMEHOW GETS A SHOULDER UP AFTER A DIVE FROM THE DAMNED BALCONY? MIRACLES DO HAPPEN! CHAD KURTIS IS STILL
ALIVE!

Jake Phoenix staggers to his feet, pulling up a barely resisting Show. The crowd is chanting, begging for one more miracle. Phoenix flips The Show upside
down for a second time…

And this time, there is no counter, there is no way out.

TOMBSTONE.

Phoenix slumps over “The Show.” One, two, three.

All out of miracles.

JENNY JERSEY: Here is YOUR winner… and STILL REBEL Pro World Heavyweight champion, JAKE PHOENIX!

ROB MARTINEZ: As God is my witness, we have seen it all here in REBEL Pro, tonight we will still a BARBED WIRE match, but we have never seen a match in
REBEL that was as emotional, as dramatic, as amazing as what we have just witnessed! “The Show” Chad Kurtis and Jake Phoenix did not just leave it all
in the ring, they left it all over the Grady Cole Center here tonight in pursuit of the REBEL Pro World Heavyweight title. How can you ask for more than
that from two amazing professional wrestlers?

Jake is barely up, latching onto the nearby wall to steady himself as Jimmy Johnson gives him the World Title belt. The Show is still down, the other referees
and trainers rushing out to The Show’s aid. The crowd haven’t SAT DOWN.

And now they cheer, clap, whistle, stomp their feet as loud as they possibly can for what was undoubtedly one of the greatest world title matches in REBEL
history.

Jake Phoenix looks at The Show, and maybe, just maybe, there is a hint of respect on his face, at last, towards Chad Kurtis. He holds the belt high, and
as much as Jake Phoenix IS a big dick head who loves hurting people, you can’t deny how hard he has fought to get that title and to retain it in such spectacular
fashion. Is it possible that the standing ovation in some small way matters to him?

Like he’d ever admit it.

Phoenix disappears through the exit, brusquely shoving off any help. He stumbles through the exit door to find his way backstage.

The Show is sitting on a chair, head referee Dale McDonald asking him questions, talking to him, making sure he is alright. The crowd is concerned.

Finally The Show takes his feet, raising the arms high before abruptly bringing them back down. He holds the back of his head as the referees help him towards
the entrance way, fans respectfully parting, the response overwhelming. The Show looks out from the entrance, soaked in sweat, holding his head in who
knows what pain, and then closes his eyes. Finally, he disappears through the curtain.

There is nothing more to add.

him.

But their plans backfire. Castle rises and clothesline both of them over the top-rope as they struggle. Castle is using the opportunity to catch his breath.
He walks over to the chair and grabs it, waiting for either Davis or Roberts to injure the other one so he can have one of them one-on-one. Davis and Roberts

him down. Polar-izer!

ROB MARTINEZ: POLAR-IZER to an unsuspecting Castle! Castle is OUT! Now Roberts is applying his Bear-Tamer to Davis!

It doesn’t take long for Davis to TAP!

JENNY JERSEY: The winner of the match and NEW HOLDER OF THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TROPHY… KYLE ROBERTS!

ROB MARTINEZ: Davis couldn’t take it! His back had been so weakened throughout the match, then by the Truth Serum. Once the Bear-Tamer was applied, that
was IT! This match would have been Castle’s if Roberts had made that RETURN! LISTEN to this CROWD! They are SOLIDLY behind ROBERTS!

Roberts is acknowledging the fans, clearly happy with his big win tonight. Castle is getting to his feet, a look of anger on his face. Davis is still on
the ground, clutching his back. Castle leaves the ring.

ROB MARTINEZ: What is Castle doing? Looks like he is taking the Contender’s trophy and going back into the ring with it.

Roberts looks skeptical as Castle approaches him with the trophy.

ROB MARTINEZ: Perhaps Castle, out of RESPECT, is going to hand the trophy to Roberts?

Davidson puts Manny down on the mat! Davidson drops down and slides out of the ring as Manny gets back to his feet. Davidson reaches under the ring and
pulls out a table! The crowd erupts into a “We Want Tables!” chant. Manny slides out of the ring and clubs Davidson from behind as he’s sitting up the
table.

ROB MARTINEZ: I can only be thankful that Manny didn’t wear a thong to the ring tonight.

Manny pops Davidson’s head back with an uppercut and then hooks him for a suplex. Davidson reverses it and it’s Manny who lands hard on the concrete floor!
Davidson returns to his table, placing one end on the ring apron and the other on the guard railing. Manny is getting back to his feet when he takes a
shot to the ribs from Davidson. Davidson takes a chair from a ringside fan and smacks it across the back of his former partner! Davidson drops the chair
onto the floor and grabs Manny by the hair. Davidson tries to force the face of Manny into the bottom strand of barbed wire but Manny gets his hands up
for protection. Blood oozes from the hands of Manny as he tries to protect his face from the wire.

Manny pulls Davidson off of the guard railing and shoves him into the ring. Manny slides in after Davidson and picks up the barbed wire chair. Manny advances
on Davidson but the Shadowlands member lashes out with a kick to the gut of Manny! Davidson is up and hits a double thrust to the throat of Manny causing
him to drop the chair onto the mat. Davidson scoops up Manny and slams him onto the chair! The crowd groans as Manny screams out in pain! Davidson rolls
Manny off of the barbed wire chair and we see the back of Manny resembles raw hamburger. Davidson waits for Manny to pull himself up to his feet and takes
a swing. Manny drops out of the way and the chair gets tangles up in the top strand of barbed wire.

ROB MARTINEZ: Davidson was looking to take Mannys head off with that shot!

Right hand to the gut from Manny! Another hard shot to the ribs doubles over Davidson! Manny rips the chair away from the barbed wire and clubs Davidson
