Day of Reckoning 2017 - Live from Toronto, Canada

Sunday 14th May - 6CW Day of Reckoning (Live from the Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Canada)

Theme: Everybody Wants to go to Heaven - Glenn Yarborough and the Limeliters





We see the shot through the eyes of someone staring at a pure white stairway as the music begins to play over what we're seeing.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN...

The man looks at his hand revealing a key

...EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN...

The man then looks up to the top of the stairway revealing a golden gateway, he nods before moving towards the bottom step of the stairway

...EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN...

As he places his foot on the bottom step the step cracks, he carefully steps past it but as he does it fall away causing him to turn and show that the bottom step has now gone revealing a never ending fall towards a dark red abyss

...BUT NOBODY, NOBODY WANTS TO DIE...

The music continues as the man slowly begins to walk, each step cracking further steps as they all begin to fall away around him leaving him to nearly fall a few times but he constantly returns his sights on the golden gateway.

As the man reaches the Gateway he attempts to place the key in the lock but as he is moments away the floor below him cracks and gives away causing him to fall, we see the Gateway disappear from view as the hole the man fell through becomes a small white dot before vanishing all together.

The man continues to fall in the dull red darkness as the music continues until the fall stops, the man crashing down on to a rough stone terrain, as he looks up we see two figures sat among the deep dark hell like abyss. The two figures sit on grand thrones, each with a belt over their shoulders

EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN...
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN...
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN...

The man remains on the ground

...BUT NOBODY...

The man reaches out, revealing the key has now rusted, crumbling away

...AH, NOBODY WANTS TO DIE...

The mans eye's close causing our view to turn to black, a faded image of Thunder and Reborn celebrating together at last year's Night of Glory is our final image before we drift to silent nothing

*The cameras pan around the arena as thousands of 6CW fans scream, cheer and wave signs wildly in the air

HA: Welcome to Toronto, 6CW! Canada, the home of some of wrestling’s most iconic and talented names, some of its most knowledgeable and passionate fans – and tonight it is host to 6CW Day of Reckoning!

HE: Which means these raucous fans get to see Cassius Zhi, O’Callaghan and Anthony Grace, Lex Hart, Liam Wood and Perfect Jack, amongst others

HA: We will see defences of the Tag Team Championships, the UK/International Championships, the EWF Championship and the 6CW World Championship

HE: And, even bigger than all that, if it can get any bigger, is our main event of the night: the Gateway to Glory

HA: 30 men, 30 of the best this world has to offer, all compete against each other to claim a World title shot at the biggest night of the year, Night of Glory.

HE: We’ll have two men to begin, one of which we know is JJ Johnson at number one. Then, every two minutes, another man will join them. These competitors can only be eliminated when they are thrown over the top rope and both feet land on the floor below.

HA: Every man that competes in the matches tonight will be in that battle royal. So, world champions will be fighting to compete for a chance at the other world title.

HE: Or the one they held only moments before, if they lose tonight.

HA: Which is completely possible, as both our world champs face the toughest competition tonight

HE: Liam Wood versus Cameron Faith for the EWF title

HA: And Cassius Zhi defends his 6CW title versus long-time rival Lex Hart.

HE: GATEWAY TO GLORY NIGHT!!!!

HA: Well folks, its been a bumpy ride to get here for four of the thirty men in our Gateway to Glory match

HE: Indeed, for Engel Harlequin, JJ Johnson, Dicey Reilly and GazzyD the road has been filled with disappointment and turmoil...

HA: But after last week's Aftermath main event, one of these men has pulled out somewhat of a booby prize in drawing number one , being forced to start the whole dance off

HE: Thats right Harold, JJ Johnson was the last man still inside the cage in the fatal fourway match, and the first man to head into the match. Hell of a journey if he's gonna be the last man standing in that ring come the end of the night

HA: Tim Allen is with our Gateway to Glory number one...

*The scene cuts backstage, where Tim Allen and JJ Johnson are stood in front of the Day Of Reckoning logo*

TA: JJ Johnson, you stand here getting ready for possibly the toughest fight of your life as you face off against 29 other men to win this Gateway to Glory and go onto main event Night of Glory. What's going through your mind? How do you feel?

*JJ Smiles smugly*

JJ: Whats going through my mind? Who the unlucky fool at number two is. You see Tim I don't care whose number 1, whose number 30 or anybody in between...its what happens at the end that counts...first in last out and I will be the competitor last standing at the end of the night...

TA: Confident words JJ, and a confident performance out-

*Dicey Reilly walks onto the set*

DR: Heeyyy JJ1 Got here early I see, shame some of us can afford to take their time tonight eh. You better hope I am not your number two cause I will kick your a**e from one to thirty if I have to.

*JJ squares up to Dicey Reilly*

JJ: Is that a promise? Cause you and I can dance all night long if we have to.

*Dicey growls at JJ and walks off and Tim Allen approaches JJ*

TA: Well I-

JJ: Enough talking, you'll see what I am about in the ring tonight.

*The scene fades*

Match One
Tag Team Championships Match
Team Adamson vs Parasite Killers

*The camera pans along the crowd and we see signs for names of 6CW present and 6WF past, including "Beer is with Harambe now", "Matches go in feedback threads", "Matthew Evans didn't reply to my text" “Easy like Monday mornings” and "#RIPBolasie" as we reach the Lloyd brothers at ringside!*

HA: "Well up first for you at Day of Reckoning, we have a rematch of the contest at Ashes to Ashes, as The TA defend their 6CW Tag Team titles against former champs, the Parasite Killers"

HE: "The TA led by the ever glorious Max Adamson, look to continue their domination of the tag team division"

HA: "Well I'm sure McManus and Fanatic will have something to say about that!"

"Machine Gun" clatters out of the speakers and Max Adamson leads the 6CW Tag Team Champions out onto the stage. Jackson Jackson kneels down and poses in front of the camera with his title as Frank Horrigan stands behind with his massive arms in the air…

HA: "I must admit, this team have been very impressive since their debut"

HE: "Max Adamson is no fool, he knows what he's doing"

"Sad but true" blares out through the speakers and James McManus strides out onto the stage, flanked by The Fanatic. The duo pace down the ramp, tagging the fans hands. McManus climbs up the steel steps and then into the ring, while Fanatic clambers in over the top rope.

HA: "The Parasite Killers looking to avenge their defeat at Ashes to Ashes to kick off Day of Reckoning"

HE: "They've been a bit off the boil recently - lets see if they can recapture that old flame here"

Ding, Ding, Ding!

The bell rings to get the match started, James McManus starts off against Frank Horrigan. The duo lock-up, McManus applies a side headlock which Horrigan quickly counters with a belly to back suplex. McManus rolls to his feet, Horrigan flattens him with a short-arm clothesline. McManus rolls up once more and Frank Horrigan nails a powerslam. Cover.

Ref: 1................2.......Kick out!

McManus forces the shoulder up. Horrigan drags him up to his feet, where he then fires in a series of hard right hands to the face. James McManus is backed into the corner, where Horrigan switches tact to European Uppercuts. McManus tries to reply with some punches of his own but Horrigan simply walks through them and flattens McManus with a clothesline. Cover.

Ref: 1................2...........kick out!

HA: "Very strong start to this match-up from Frank Horrigan."

HE: "The TA look like they mean business tonight."

As Horrigan pulls McManus to his feet the bigger superstar is caught out by a surprise european uppercut that staggers him back, McManus hits another knocking Horrigan in to the ropes before McManus charges across the ring to make the tag to the Fanatic, Adamson screaming at Horrigan to stop him

HA: "He's going to make the tag!"

The crowd groans as at the last moment Horrigan is able to use the momentum of the ropes to catch up with McManus, dragging him back from his tag partner and hitting a vile German suplex that brings him down hard on his shoulder. Horrigan covers, cockily placing a foot on McManus' chest

Ref: 1..............kick out!

HA: "Too cocky a cover there!"

There's another kick out from McManus. Frank Horrigan hauls him to his feet and goes for a suplex, but McManus blocks it. He drives a knee up into the stomach and then counters with a suplex of his own. Horrigan rolls to his feet and McManus takes him down with a reverse STO. Cover.

Ref: 1.................2..........Kick out!

McManus gets to his feet and tags out to The Fanatic, who steps into the ring. Fanatic drags Frank Horrigan to his feet, he then Irish whips him firmly into the corner. Fanatic comes sprinting in, leaping into the air and hitting a big stinger splash. Fanatic then drags Frank Horrigan forward before dropping him with a DDT. Cover.

Ref: 1.................2.............Kick out!

HE: "The Fanatic helping to turn the tables in this one!"

Horrigan forces the shoulder up, Fanatic gets to his feet and immediately goes on the offensive, stomping down continually on the right arm of the multiple time world champion. Fanatic locks in an armbar, eventually bringing Horrigan to his feet. He swings wildly at Fanatic who ducks and uses the momentum to hit a side suplex on Frank Horrigan. He drags the champ away from the ropes and hooks the leg.

Ref: 1.................2..............Kick out!

Horrigan forces the shoulder up, Fanatic drags him to his feet and then sets up for a powerbomb but the 6cw tag champ counters with a back body drop. Fanatic rolls to his feet, Horrigan kicks him in the stomach. He follows that with a knee to the face of Fanatic, then a quick swinging neckbreaker. He quickly hooks the leg.

Ref: 1...............2...........Kick out!

Fanatic tries to use the turnbuckle to pull himself up but Horrigan drives into him with an avalanche splash and then tags in Jackson Jackson. Jackson nails multiple kicks to the body of Fanatic and then leaps up and lands a heel kick to the jaw, dropping the former tag champ into a seated position. Adamson applauds from the outside as Jackson circles the ring and then sprints back in, punting Fanatic in the chest before making a cover.

Ref: 1..................2...........kick out!

HA: "Jackson Jackson bringing some more pace to this one"

Jackson Jackson gets to his feet and tries to hit Fanatic with a flurry of kicks but The Fanatic stops him, hitting a massive belly to belly sending him across the ring, The Fanatic then drags him up and whips him across the ring, as he returns Jackson is hit with a jaw breaking big boot that sends him rolling out of the ring. Fanatic leans over the rope looking down at Jackson but as he turns back in to the ring Frank Horrigan is stood waiting for him, a scowl on his face

HE: "It's about to heat up now!"

Suddenly the ring bursts to life as Horrigan and Fanatic charge forwards exchanging devastating strikes, neither giving up ground. The fans jump to their feet as both give it their all. Horrigan then brings boos out of the crowd as he cuts Fanatic off with a knee to the gut followed by a shoulder block. Fanatic however merely bounces across the ring, using his momentum to bounce back and hit a big boot that staggers Horrigan, the monster some how still on his feet

HA: "McManus had made the blind tag!"

As Horrigan gathers himself he swings for Fanatic, but is taken out from behind by McManus and sent sprawling over the top rope. The Parasite Killers stand tall in the ring as the tag champs lay strewn together on the outside, however over the other side of the ring Max Adamson is held back by the referee from getting in the ring, this gets the attention of the pair.

HA: "Adamson doesn't look so keen to get involved now!"

Fanatic and McManus run at Adamson and send him sprawling to the outside but in the process take out the referee. In the meantime, Jackson Jackson has reentered the ring and dropkicks Fanatic as McManus tries to wake the referee. McManus turns round and is hit by another dropkick from Jackson who now screams at Horrigan to go tend to Adamson.

HE: "Carnage on the outside!"

As Horrigan gets Adamson back to his feet, and retakes his place on the apron, Jackson Jackson flies across the ring nailing McManus with a series of kicks and punches to groggy the former tag champ. Jackson swings McManus into the corner where Horrigan stands, and runs to the other corner knocking Fanatic off the ring apron with a forearm, before hitting a crossbody in the corner. Horrigan tags himself in....

HA: "Horrigan signals for the end"

Frank Horrigan allows McManus to his feet, he throws him into the ropes and goes for a belly to belly suplex on the rebound, but McManus blocks. He then throws Horrigan out across the ring with a big belly to belly suplex of his own. Horrigan rolls up and McManus crashes a big boot into his head. Cover.

HE: "THE REFEREE IS STILL DOWN YOU IDIOT!"

McManus looks round and realises the referee is still down. He continues the attack and quickly tags in The Fanatic they drag Horrigan into the corner before hitting a double suplex into the turnbuckles. Horrigan slumps in the corner, Fanatic bounces off the ropes and connects with a running facewash kick.

HA: "The referee is still down, and lookout here comes Jackson Jackson!"

Jackson Jackson rushes the ring as Horrigan is down, but Fanatic ducks underneath and on the rebound flattens him with a big boot. Fanatic immediately rolls Horrigan onto his front, before hitting a series of leaping knee drops down into the back. Fanatic allows Horrigan to his feet, before placing him onto his shoulders and connecting with a running powerslam.

HE: "The Killers need to get the referee back up here!"

Fanatic goes over to the referee to revive him, but as he does so the sound of a chair shot can be heard!

HA: "ADAMSON! ADAMSON!"

As Fanatic tries to revive the referee, James McManus is blindsided with a chair shot to the back taking him down off the ring apron. Fanatic hears this, leaves the referee who is now stirring and heads towards Adamson who is now on the apron...

HA: "CHAIR SHOT TO FANATIC!"

As Fanatic tries to rush Adamson, the former world champ smacks him over the head with the chair, and back into the path of the oncoming Frank Horrigan who crushes Fanatic with a spear.

HE: "BRILLIANT FROM MAX ADAMSON!"

Adamson nods at Horrigan, telling him to finish it. Adamson enters the ring and lifts the referee up as Horrigan gets The Fanatic on his shoulders....

HA: "SHIRANUI POWERBOMB!"

Jackson comes over with sliced bread and Horrigan goes for the cover...

Ref: "1................2...................3!"

Announcer: "YOUR WINNERS AND STILL 6CW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, THE TA!"

Max Adamson rushes round and grabs the title belts off the timekeeper and Horrigan and Jackson exit up the ramp.

HA: "Max Adamson again stealing the win for the TA"

HE: "Stealing? That was a masterstroke from the great man"

The TA and Adamson stand tall on the ramp as 6CW Day of Reckoning cuts away....

*The scene opens backstage in the locker room. GazzyD is sat with his head in his hands*

Crowd: GAZZYD (Chants)

*Tim Allen walks into the locker room and sits alongside GazzyD*

TA: Gazzy, look I know your hurting, I know its hard but tonight of all nights you've gotta keep on pushing through. The Gateway to Glory, your match against Hero. Tonight you've got to prove yourself.

*GazzyD lifts his head and looks at Tim*

GD: I just wish she was here to see it you know?

TA: Yeah I get it, but the fact is Gazzy...look Hero is no slouch, if he senses any kind of weakness in your head he is going to pounce, you need to get it together.

*GazzyD shakes his head*

GD: I'm fine Tim, I'm focused and ready to beat Hero and go onto win the Gateway to Glory match. I'm going out there to show the world that I can put my demons to rest.

TA: Gazzy, you know best man, if you’re ready then go out there and show the world.

GD: Now Tim I'll see you later, it’s time to show Hero what I can do...

*GazzyD walks off camera as the scene fades*

Match Two
Hero vs GazzyD

*We come back to ringside as Glorious Domination begins to play. Out strolls Hero, cocky and arrogant with every step, his music nearly drowned out by boos.

HA: One of the least popular men in this company right now. Hero returned to much drama, and the Church’s defeat of the Brotherhood won him some fans, but the strength of this crowd’s love for GazzyD means that any support for Hero has drained from this building.

*As Hero walks down the ramp, with his music still playing, the boos turn to cheers as Gazzy storms out without waiting for introduction.

HA: Gazzy has come to fight!

*Gazzy sprints up to the ring, but the ref steps across him as he slides in and keeps the two competitors apart. He takes them through formalities

HE: Desperate man, and that desperation could cost him tonight

As the bell rings the two men lock up but Gazzy uses his speed to duck under and whip Hero against the ropes, as Hero returns Gazzy drops on to his front forcing Hero to leap over and head towards the ropes, as he hits them and returns Gazzy pops up and hits him with a brilliant arm drag that sends Hero rolling across the ring and back up to his feet, Hero scowls as Gazzy smiles at him.

HA: Gazzy has been down on his luck for a while now but the former 6CW Champion is looking confident again, maybe this could be the turning point for the eternal fan favourite!

HE: Well let's hope he doesn't get too smug, would hate to see him taken down a few pegs for being over confident against a brilliant wrestler like Hero

Once again the two men lock up but once again Gazzy is able to spin around Hero and twist the arm of his opponent dragging him to the ropes, the fans cheer as Gazzy reaches the turnbuckle and climbs up and walks along the ropes Undertaker style before leaping towards Hero and hitting a hurricanrana that sends Hero rolling across the ring and sliding down to the outside. Gazzy wastes no time, charging at the ropes towards Hero

HA: AIR GAZZY!

HE: Get out Hero!

HA: NO! Gazzy having too much fun here!

The fans laugh as Gazzy looks to hit a suicide dive only to stop at the ropes causing Hero to dive to the side and down on to the floor, Hero gets to his feet and looks furious but as he attempts to get in to the ring Gazzy has bounced off the ropes and hits a baseball slide that takes out the foot of Hero causing him to slip off the apron landing chest first across it. Gazzy pauses for a moment and poses for the fans, reaching out and hitting high fives with a few members before turning back to Hero.

HE: This is disgusting, I'm going to need a sick bag...pandering at it's very worst!

HA: Well the fans love it and Gazzy feels like he's back to his best, what a difference an attitude change can make!

Gazzy quickly lands a kick across the chest of Hero that sends him staggering back towards the guard rail, Gazzy then backs up before running forward and hitting a drop kick that sends him flying in to the guard rail with a huge bang. As Gazzy gets up he rolls Hero in and makes the cover

...ONE
…...TW-

HE: Not enough, the eight time world champion is still in it, it's going to take a little more than that

HA: True but you can't deny that Gazzy D is on fire and...

HE: If you say Hero's terrified I'm getting up and leaving

HA: Don't tempt me!

Gazzy nods, showing his motivation before picking Hero up once again, this time as Gazzy locks up and once again attempts to slip around the back Hero is able to cut off the momentum with a knee to the gut. Hero then whips Gazzy off the ropes and looks for a shoulder block but as Gazzy returns he's able to slip under the legs of Hero before hitting a roll up

...o-no!

HA: Gazzy rolls Hero in to a kneeling position...

As Hero moves in to the kneeling position Gazzy rolls through and hits a kick across the face that once again causes Hero to roll across the ring, this time finding himself in a seated position at the bottom of the turnbuckle. Gazzy quickly runs in, hitting a Finn Balor style leaping drop kick that causes Hero to roll to the middle of the ring with the momentum

HA: Gazzy isn't slowing down and he looks like he has Hero right where he wants him!

HE: Hero needs to regroup but everywhere he's looked the new improved Gazzy D seems to be...

As Hero lies prone in the ring Gazzy quickly climbs up the turnbuckle and sets his sights on the man behind the Church Of Hero

HA: Gazzy waits for Hero to get to his feet...MISSILE DROPKICK! Hero sent to the apron with that!

A Hero is hit by the dropkick from the top rope he staggers and falls over the top rope and down on to the apron, he quickly pulls himself up but as he does Gazzy cahrges as the turnbuckle and hits a springboard dropkick just like Jericho that takes Hero down to the outside

HA: If this was the Gateway To Glory Hero would be out now...

Hero is able to pull himself up but as he does Gazzy is ready and waiting with a huge plancha over the top rope that causes both men to crash in to the guard rail, both men being left down as the ref is forced to start his count.

HA: What an impact but Gazzy has taken almost the same amount of impact as Hero in that collision with the railing around the ringside area...

HE: Not the smartest move by Gazzy there, he seems to be moving though

As the ref continues to count Hero seems to move first but Gazzy soon stirs and is able to get to his feet first, rolling Hero in. As Gazzy slides in it's clear to see that he nurses the back of his head and seems to be in a bit of pain. Gazzy quickly makes the cover.

...ONE

…...TWO

…......THR-

HA: Close! Hero kicks out though but you have to wonder how much more he can take...maybe he came in to this match overconfident?

HE: Hero is confident because he knows his ability, you can't write him off at all!

The fans get behind Gazzy as he gets back to his feet and takes a second to recover as Hero begins to pull himself up, dragging himself to the corner. The fans jump to their feet as Gazzy charges forward at Hero but as Gazzy looks for a corner splash style move Hero is able to duck under the high flying star causing him to crash in to the turnbuckle, Hero then wasting no time charging in with a stiff lariat to the back of the head that whip's Gazzy's neck violently backwards as his head bounces off the turnbuckle.

HE: What an impact...in that move alone, Hero might have turned this about!

HA: We'll have to wait and see but it didn't look good

Gazzy leans on the turnbuckle but before he can rest for even a second Hero locks his arms around the waist and lifts up, hitting a belly to back purposely causing Gazzy to land at a bad angle on the back of his head, Gazzy rolls away in pain and lays flat, his hands grasping his neck as the ref checks on him

HA: This isn't good...we need doctors out here now!

HE: I don't think Hero is looking to wait!

As Gazzy attempts to push himself up Hero hits a running, leaping knee to the side of Gazzy's head that jars his neck to the side and once again causes Gazzy clear pain, the ref pushes Hero back as two EMT's run down and begin to check on Gazzy

HA: I think this match is over, Gazzy started out so strong but it seems his injury may be coming back to haunt him...

HE: I don't think he's ready to call it quits yet...this isn't smart.

The fans are in two minds as Gazzy pushes the two members of the medical staff away, pulling himself up and before the ref can do anything he charges across the ring, beginning to land rapid punches to Hero in the corner

HA: Gazzy D isn't giving in...I might not agree with this but you can't fault him!

HE: He sure does have a lot of fight but Hero seems to be in the mood to cut that off!

As Gazzy lands the rapid punches Hero hits a poke to the eyes before spinning Gazzy around and hitting a snap neckbreaker, once again targeting the injured neck of his opponent. The fans boo as Hero drags Gazzy up, landing clubbing blows repeatedly across the top of Gazzy's back and neck before landing a few elbows as well.

HA: This is getting hard to watch...

HE: Gazzy decided to carry on...he didn't have too...

The boos get louder as Gazzy gets thrown against the ropes and Hero uses the top rope across his throat, pushing his knee in to Gazzy's back to put his entire body weight across his throat, not only choking Gazzy but putting an unbelieveable amount of pressure on the injured neck of Gazzy D. The ref begins to count and as the ref reaches 5 Hero lets the hold go before landing another belly to back suplex that brings Gazzy down dangerously on the back of his head once again.

HA: The ref needs to get in there...

HE: Hero isn't done yet!

Hero quickly pulls Gazzy to a kneeling position and once again begins to land hard strikes to the back of Gazzy's head and neck before backing up and hitting the Hero Sandwich side kick to the side of the head causing Gazzy to slump face first, Hero quickly pushes him over with his foot and makes the cover, placing once foot on Gazzy's chest and dusting off his shoulders as the ref counts

...ONE

…...TWO

…......THREE

HE: Hero's done it!

HA: NO! The ref has noticed Gazzy's foot! The match isn't over...

The fans are shocked as Gazzy's foot reaches the bottom rope before the ref can bring his hand down for the last time. Hero grits his teeth before slapping Gazzy across the face and clearly shouting “if this is how you want it!” before slapping Gazzy again

HA: WAIT! Gazzy springs to life...ARM BAR LOCKED IN FROM THE SLAP!

HE: WHAT THE HELL!

The fans burst to life, jumping to their feet as Gazzy catches the hand of Hero as he repeatedly slaps out at him and pulls him in to a UFC style arm bar out of pure instinct. The fans go crazy as Hero begins to struggle, doing his best but failing to reach the ropes

HA: Gazzy might pull this one out of the bag...Hero needs to act quick before the pain becomes too much!

HE: Look at Hero! He's pulling out all the stops here...oh wow!

The fans are silenced as Hero manages to pull Gazzy off the floor before somehow turning Gazzy's position in to a spike piledriver that brings Gazzy down hard, his head clearly hitting awkwardly but before the ref or the EMT's can check Hero drags up the lifeless body of Gazzy and pulls him out on to the apron

HA: WHAT THE HELL IS HE GOING TO DO?!

HE: Oh no...

Before anyone can react the fans watch in horror as Hero looks for a second spike piledriver bringing Gazzy down hard from the apron to the floor causing Gazzy's neck to bend badly and leaving him lifeless on the cold, hard concrete. Hero is quickly up to his feet though, clearly not done, once again telling Gazzy that this was his fault.

HE: This needs to stop...HERO...please don't!

Hero whips Gazzy head first in to the ring steps causing Gazzy to crash in to them, slumping across them, once again Hero climbs on to the apron and before anyone can react he charges forward hitting the Hero stop to the head of Gazzy as it lies across the ring steps causing it to snap back visciously.

HA: The ref's seen enough...he's calling for the bell...we need security out here!

HE: I don't know what to say...

Gazzy slides lifelessly off the steps and Hero stands over him, putting his foot on his throat until security run down and drag him back causing him to stretch his arms out with a sick smile on his face, as the camera moves in closer Hero turns to it and says in a snide fashion “Hero gave him what he wanted...he should be thanking Hero...”, the camera then pushes his way through the security towards the stage as the footage cuts away to a clearly shocked Harold and Henry Lloyd

HA: Ladies and gentlemen I can only apologise about what you just saw, we will keep you updated with Gazzy D's progress throughout the night as soon as we know more

Henry remains speechless as we cut away to the image of Gazzy being helped out from ringside by medical staff

HA: Sickening sights

HE:...

HA: The show must go on, even if we have to recover as it does. And what a show we have witnessed so far folks, no denying it. Up next we have the triple threat match between O'Callaghan, Clarke James and Perfect Jack...

*There's a delay, and Henry finally gets his brain back in gear

HE: But first I managed to get a few words with the United Kingdom and International Champion O'Callaghan before the show...

*The scene cuts to a dark room lit up by an overhead light, O'Callaghan is sat in a chair opposite Henry Lloyd*

HE: O'Callaghan, you sit here just hours away from making taking your first steps towards making history in 6CW...

OC: That's right, O'Callaghan making history every single time he steps in that ring. You see some people think they can make me go out there and defend my title in a triple threat match, they think by doing that, somehow they are going to stop me winning the Gateway to Glory. They'd be wrong, you see I am guaranteeing you now there is one bet, one sure fire thing you can put your house on...

HE: And that is?

OC: O'Callaghan walking out of Day of Reckoning...UK champion, International champion and Gateway to Glory winner.

HE: And which champion would you prefer to face? Out of the four potential ones after tonights event?

OC: Henry, it does not matter who I face, whether it be Cameron Faith, Lex Hart, Liam Wood or Cassius Zhi...I am the UK AND International champion I am already a World Champion in every definition, whoever's champ, whichever belt I go for...its no matter its just another title to adorn my waist.

HE: Do you have a plan for maintaining your energy levels throughout the night?

OC: I always have a plan Henry, and tonight is no exception. Without a shadow of a doubt I am ready for tonight and I will walk out victorious, now if you'll excuse me, I have things to do.

HE: Thank you O'Callaghan, a pleasure as always having you here.

*The scene cuts

*Perfect Jack is stood backstage with Charlotte Grey*

CG: Perfect Jack, big night for you tonight, a chance to knock O'Callaghan down a peg or two and a spot in the Gateway to Glory how do you feel?

*Perfect Jack smiles smugly*

PJ: Absolutely perfect. I have my number in the Gateway to Glory and everything is aligned for a night of absolute perfection.

CG: Your former tag team partner faces Cassius Zhi for the 6CW championship later tonight. Do you have any words for him?

PJ: Lex had better hope he loses tonight because I know everything he can do in that ring and no offence but I am more than ready to take that 6CW match if it comes to that!

CG: And what about Cassius Zhi?

*Perfect Jack visibly gulps as if a little unsure*

PJ:It does not matter who I face for that 6CW title or the EWF title...I am absolute perfection and after tonight...6CW will witness the era of Perfect!

CG: Thank you Perfect Jack for your time, back to you Harold.

Match Three
EWF Championship
Liam Wood vs Cameron Faith

He: It’s time for the EWF Title to be defended. Champion Liam Wood takes on Cameron Faith, and the champ was pretty scathing of his opponents chances in the build up to this one

Ha: That's wood all over though. I know he's good, but the sheer arrogance of the guy is laughable. I'm just waiting for his arrogance to the get the better of him, and it could be tonight against Faith who Wood described as not good enough to take the title here tonight

He: He might have a point though. faith was always the guy that nearly made it in 6WF, what chance does he have here in the far superior 6CW

Ha: You know, you may be a bigger ass than Wood

'Ain't no stopping me' plays and the crowd start to cheer as Cameron Faith makes his way out to the stage. He plays up to the crowd from the stage before making his way down to ringside tagging some of the outstretched hands of the fans.

Ha: I think both you and Wood are selling this guy short. He admitted himself he hasn't lived up to the fanfare of his arrival, but he's in an ideal situation to change that. He referred to himself as the most dangerous challenger Wood has faced claiming he can't lose and Wood can't win

He: all just words, but when that referee signals for the bell Wood will do what he does best

'Revival Mode' starts to play and is met with huge boos from the crowd. Wood steps out to the stage and stares around the hostile crowd before unhooking the title from around his waist and lifting it high in the air before placing it on his shoulder and cockily striding down the ramp

He: Here's the thing. If you look at some of the names Liam Wood has beaten: Keith Leone, Mike Masters, Engel Harlequin, Dicey Reilly. These aren't amateurs, these are some of the best that have walked through the hallowed halls of 6CW and Wood has beaten each one. There's something about this title that pushes Wood to be the best of the best of the best, and that is why I don't fancy Faith's chances here this evening

Ha: I see your point, but I still think you're writing the challenger off awfully quickly

Wood climbs inside the ring and lifts his title in the air once again in the face of Faith. The official takes the title and hands it to the timekeeper before signalling for the bell and the two men tie up in the middle of the ring

Wood goes straight into a headlock in the middle of the ring and Faith backs him against the ropes. He pushes him away sending him running and bouncing off the opposite ropes and then knocks Faith down with a running shoulder.

He runs against the ropes again as Faith gets to his feet. He leapfrogs Wood and then takes the champion down with an arm drag. Wood quickly gets to his feet and walks into a second arm drag and then a third which Faith keeps in to an arm bar. Wood quickly counters with a head scissor taking the challenger to the canvas. Faith quickly gets free and the two men get to their feet in the centre of the ring to applause from the sold out crowd

Ha: Hot start by both men here, great wrestling and counter wrestling

Champion and challenger circle each other in the middle of the ring. They tie up again and Wood pushes Faith back up in to the corner of the ring. The official forces him to break up and Wood reluctantly does before aiming a cheap-shot at Faith

Ha: Too slow

The crowd cheer as Faith quickly ducks under any contact and delivers a perfectly measured drop kick to Wood. The champion gets up and walks in to another drop kick and then gets to his feet again and is met with a kick to the gut followed by a fisherman suplex

Wood quickly kicks out and rolls outside of the ring. Faith exits after him and chases him around the ring only to fall in to Wood's trap. The crowd boo as Wood slides back in the ring and then viciously stomps on Faith who follows him.

He: That’s what sets Wood aside from everybody else. Not only is he one of the best fighters, he's also one of the smartest, always thinking two, three steps ahead

Faith tries to get to his feet in the ring but Wood continues his assault. Stomping down on him every time he tries to get to his feet. Wood finally allows Faith to his feet and whips him in to the corner of the ring. He closes in and then repeatedly beats Faith down with a flurry of MMA kicks and jabs before dragging Faith out of the corner and dropping him to the mat with a short arm clothesline and hooking the leg

Faith gets his shoulder off the mat and Wood goes back on the attack immediately. The challenger can only try and cover as Wood rains down big right hands only breaking as the official reaches a count of five.

Wood gets to his feet and lifts Faith up. He whips him against the ropes before throwing Faith high in the air for him to come crashing down to the canvas face first and Wood hooks the leg again

Faith kicks out again. This time Wood goes straight in to a headlock trying to cut off the blood circulation. Faith battles himself up to his feet and begins to elbow Wood in the gut causing him to loosen the hold. Faith frees himself and bounces off the rope

HE: BIG BOOT FROM WOOD. HE ALMOST TOOK FAITH'S HEAD OFF

2

Ha: But Faith kicks out again. It was a heck of a boot from Wood but inevitably not enough to get the job done

Wood gets to his feet and motions for Faith to do the same. He stalks him as he gets up and wraps his arms around his waist before sending him flying across the ring with a release German suplex. Faith slowly gets up and Wood closes in and tears him through the air with a second release German suplex. Faith pulls himself up using the ropes in the corner of the ring and Wood runs at him squashing him against the turnbuckle with a running clothesline. Faith staggers out of the corner of the ring

He: Side effect from Wood, here's the pin

Faith throws his shoulder off the mat high in the air much to the annoyance of Wood who gets up and berates the official.

He: come on Wood, keep your head, don't do anything stupid

Wood turns back around to face Faith as he tries to get to his feet. Faith is on his knees as Wood winds back and aims a big kick to the head of Faith

Ha: ROLL UP...NEW CHAMP

Wood kicks out but is hesitant to get to his feet and Faith seizes the opportunity by dragging him up and whipping him against the ropes. Wood bounces off and is sent flying with a big body drop from Faith who quickly climbs to the top rope and then jumps off with a missile drop kick as Wood gets back to his feet. He quickly crawls over and hooks the leg

Wood kicks out and Faith quickly drags him back to his feet. He kicks him in the mid-section and then whips him in to the corner of the ring before hitting a running knee in to a bulldog and hooks the leg again

Wood kicks out again as Faith again climbs to the top rope and motions for the champion to get to his feet

Ha: What’s he doing out here? He has no right being here

Loud boos echo around the crowd as Man Mountain Mike appears on the stage and makes his way down to ringside. Faith is distracted by the appearance of the Brotherhood member allowing Wood the time to get to his feet and crotch him on the top rope.

Wood connects with some big right hands which leave Faith slumped seated on the top rope. Wood climbs up to the top rope and hooks the arm of Faith

He: WHAT A SUPERPLEX!! WOOD IS GOING TO RETAIN

Ha: NOT YET HE ISN'T

Faith kicks out again and Wood sits up and stares at the official gesturing a three count. He gets up to his feet and lifts Faith up to his feet. He whips him against the ropes before connecting with a pendulum back breaker and stretches him out across his knee. The official is unhappy though as Wood applies more pressure by using his hand choke around Faith's neck and orders the champion to break the hold

Wood cockily gets up and circles Faith who is down and clearly in pain in the middle of the ring. Wood barks at Faith to get up and he stalks behind him as he slowly gets to his feet only to impatiently drag him up. He locks in a Full Nelson and swings Faith from side to side before tearing him up and slamming him down to the ring with the Full Nelson Slam before climbing to the top rope and waiting for Faith to get to his feet

He: Flying lariat....Wood got all of that

Ha: FAITH CONTINUES TO KICK OUT THOUGH! WOOD IS INCENSED

Wood gets to his feet and signals for the end. He stands over Faith before grabbing him by the head and lifting him to his feet. He talks trash in the face of faith who summons the energy to push himself free

Ha: ACT OF FAITH!

He: THE OFFICIAL ATE ALL OF IT

The crowd boo as Wood ducks out of the way of the super kick leaving the official to absorb the full contact. Faith holds his head in his hands as he goes to check on the official as Wood laughs to himself

He: That’s disgusting from Faith; he should be disqualified of assaulting a match official

Ha: You talk nonsense don't you. It was obviously unintentional

Wood approaches Faith from behind and grabs him by the back of the head

Ha: Faith nails Wood with the Pele Kick

Faith catches Wood off guard with the overhead kick which causes the champion to stumble back. Faith gets back to his feet and kicks Wood in the gut and rips him through the air with the snap suplex, he rolls through in to a second, then a third and a fourth

Ha: and another, five suplexes to the champion.........FALCON ARROW. HE HAS TEH COVER

He: shame he took out the official though isn't it

Ha: Somebody get him down off the ring apron now

Man Mountain Mike pulls himself on to the ring apron. He goes to climb inside but Faith quickly gets to his feet. He baseball slides through MMMs legs to the outside of the ring and then takes his legs out from under him and he falls hard to the outside. Faith quickly slides back in to the ring and bounces off the opposite ropes building up momentum and soars through the air at MMM with a suicide dive taking the big man out

Faith climbs back on to the ring apron and waits as Wood slowly gets to his feet on the inside of the ring

Ha: SPRINGBOARD DDT! WOOD IS OUT COLD

Faith has enough for three pinfalls but the official is still down. He gets up and makes his way to the referee and he tries to lift him up

Ha: SON OF A....

The crowd boo loudly as Man Mountain Mike appears from behind and grabs Faith. The challenger tries to fight back but is easily overpowered by the powerhouse who chops him across the chest diving all the air out of Faiths lungs.

He whips him against the ropes and then knocks him down the mat with a big boot as Wood gets back to his feet and starts barking instructions at his Brotherhood ally

Man Mountain Mike lifts Faith up with ease across his shoulder and parades him around the ring before connecting with a running powerslam. Wood urges for more as Mike lifts Faith up and throws him toward the ropes before driving him down to the canvas with the Pop up powerbomb as Wood drags the official toward the centre of the ring before dropping on Faith for the pin fall

Ha: this is disgusting. Faith has been robbed here

Ha: FAITH KICKED OUT! MY GOD! AGAINST THE ODDS HE SOMEHOW CONTINUES!

Wood hits the mat in frustration before closing in on Faith and viciously assaulting him with a flurry of punches and repeatedly driving the back of Faiths head in to the canvas. the official is still a bit groggy so Wood is given free reign without a threat of disqualification.

Wood halts his assault and paces the ring in anger. He shouts at Faith to get to his feet who slowly and gingerly forces himself up to his feet. Wood quickly closes in

HE: VIPER LOCK! IT’S IN THE CENTRE OF TEH RING! FAITH HAS NOHWERE TO GO

Wood locks in the Full Nelson Camel Clutch hybrid as the official positions himself looking for the submission. What little fight Faith has left quickly begins to fade as his eyes close

Ha: I think Faith is out here

He: I knew Wood would get the job done, he told everybody he was too good

The official checks on Faith and goes to signal for the bell

Ha: FAITH IS STILL GOING

The crowd go wild as Faith's arm starts to show signs of fight. It punches the air in tandem with the crowd chanting his name and he starts to slowly fight against the submission hold. He forces himself back up to a standing base but the full nelson is still locked in and he forces himself back in to the corner of the ring squashing Wood up against the turnbuckles eventually forcing him to break the submission. Faith having forced himself free runs against the ropes

HE: TILT A WHIRL BACK BREAKER

He: Faith kicks out again. How is he doing this?

Ha: What a heart this kid has. This is the Faith I don't think we've seen since he held the 6WF freeweight title for a near 500 day record reign

Wood is really angry as he gets to his feet and he backs up the official in the corner of the ring. He argues his case for a three but the official signals the two. Wood reluctantly turns back to Faith and lifts him to his feet before whipping him against the ropes

He: WORLD EATER! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR WINNER AND STILL EWF CHAMPION....LIAM WOOD

Faith kicks out a third time and Wood gets to his feet and kicks the bottom ring rope in frustration

Ha: Wood is in shock I think. He must be wondering what he has to do to keep this guy down

Wood drags Faith up; the challenger is clearly out on his feet as he sways from side to side having to use the ropes to support himself. Wood kicks him in the midsection and sets him in position for the Mansion Driver

Ha: reversal from Faith...he has to be acting on instinct alone at this point.......ACT OF FAITH

The crowd are hot for Faith as he slip out of the Mansion Driver and connects with the super kick flush on Wood's jaw and then falls into the cover

Ha: We're going to have a new champion

Ha: HE DID IT! FAITH IS CHAMPION

He: HANG ON A MINUTE. OFFICIAL IS SIGNALLING TWO. YES, WOOD GOT HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPES! GREAT RING AWARENESS BY THE CHAMP

Ha: You call it great ring awareness, I call it an assist by Man Mountain Mike. You look at this replay. It clearly shows Mike put Woods foot there

He: Whatever. Official didn't see it. that’s all that matters

Both men are down in the ring as the official counts them both out. They each pull themselves into a corner and start to pull themselves up using the ropes. Wood is obviously dazed from the super kick and Faith is battered all over. Faith aims a laboured punch at Wood who easily ducks under it

He: INVERTED DDT FROM WOOD

Ha: FAITH AGAIN WITH THE SHOULDER UP. NO WONDER WOOD IS GETTING FRUSTRATED. EVERYTHING HE DOES FAITH IS KICKING OUT OF

Wood slowly gets to his feet in the middle of the ring and drags Faith up. He kicks him in the mid-section

He: MANSION DRIVER CONNECTS THIS TIME

Ha: Wood not looking for a pin, opting for the high risk

Wood exits the ring to the apron and climbs to the top rope, he looks down at Faith in the centre of the ring

He: WHAT AN ELBOW DROP. THIS SHOULD BE IT

Ha: The champ still has no interest in the pinfall though. I think he's realised what he now needs to do to put Faith down finally

Wood drags Faith up to his feet and whips him against the ropes

He: WORLD EATER...SECOND TIME IN THIS FIGHT. PIN HIM WOOD, COME ON

Wood ignores the pleas of the commentator and instead motions for Faith to get to his feet again, Faith slowly gets to his knees when Wood impatiently drags him up and whips him against the ropes again

He: WORLD EATER FOR A THIRD TIME

He: FINALLY

Ha: What an effort that was from faith. I can't recall seeing a more spirited fight than that of the challenger tonight

He: Not often I'll compliment a loser but he forced Wood to dig deep tonight. Faith can walk out with his head held high here

Ha: Lets not forget, for parts of that the odds where against Faith and it still took a Mansion Driver, an elbow drop and two World Eaters at the end to keep him down

He: But at the end of it all Wood is still your EWF Champion

Wood rips his title away from the official and raises it high in the air before exiting the ring flanked by Man Mountain Mike. Faith pulls himself up to his feet inside the ring to a huge applause from the fans

*A smoky image fills the screen and dramatic symphony music plays quietly. A deep voice speaks over the image

Some men are destined for greatness

*Images of past Gateway to Glory winners flash up on the screen, reaching a crescendo of Joshua and then Reborn

Others feel it slip from their fingers

*The image of Crime Lord laid out on the mat outside the ring last year lingers on the screen

And some men take it with force

*We see Cassius Zhi standing above Robin Reborn, Cerberus after winning the Fight for Thirty, Liam Wood looking back to a cage where Engel Harlequin lay flat on his back

Tonight, 30 men will look to claim their chance at immortality in an over the top battle royal with only one goal...

...get rid of everybody else

*We see frantic highlights of past matches, bodies flying over top ropes, desperate fighting and fast-paced action

All for the chance to main event at the biggest night of the year, and a world title opportunity.

30 men, one goal, one opportunity...

Match Four
UK/INT Title
O'Callaghan vs Clarke James vs Perfect Jack

We cut back to the ringside area where Blind Faith by Chase and Status is playing, bringing out Clarke James on to the stage

HA: A former tag team champion and a member of the Church of Hero, now on his own with a chance of championship gold...and boy, does he look ready for tonight's chance!

HE: He's a great fighter but I can't bet against O'Callaghan...there's a reason he was superstar of the year...

James poses with his back to the crowd before making his way to the ring, as he reaches it the music changes and Perfect Jack walks out on to the stage as the sounds of 'Perfection' fill the air

HE: Another tag team champion looking to find his way since splitting with previous partner Lex Hart...it'll be interesting to see how Jack takes on this match.

Jack quickly reaches the ring, a cocky smile on his face as the ref makes some final checks. The fans then boo though as Run This Town by Jay Z hits the speakers

HE: The International and UK Champion, the superstar of the year...this man is destined for greatness!

HA: You can't argue with that, O'Callaghan seems to be making his way up the ladder quicker than we've seen anyone do in a long time.

As O'Callaghan walks out he poses with both belts before confidently making his way to the ring, mocking the crowd in attendance as he does

HA: O'Callaghan really not showing the need for the fans to like him

HE: Who needs fans when you have title belts?!

HA: Well he needs to be careful, he's facing two brilliant fighters tonight and one slip up could end his reign in seconds.

O'Callaghan hands the belts to the official and climbs in before the ref makes his final checks

HA: here we go...the UK and International Titles are on the line!

As the bell rings O'Callaghan looks left and right at both of his opponents but before the Irish superstar can react the pair charge at him and begin landing kicks and punches, forcing him back in to the corner of the ring where the onslaught continues

HE: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! It's a triple threat not a handicap match?!

HA: I think the two former 6WF stars know that you take one of the men out of the match then your odds of leaving as champion go up a lot!

O'Callaghan is able to fight back, landing a hard punch to James that staggers him backwards but before he can get any momentum going PJ hits a knee to the gut before whipping O'Callaghan across the ring and in to the path of James who scoops up the champ and lands a huge samoan drop

HA: Two men who have held tag team gold showing that they know how to work together!

HE: I can't believe you're defending such cowardice...I mean, it works...but still...

As O'Callaghan hits the ground PJ bursts to life once more and runs across hitting an elbow drop to his grounded opponent, James then bounces off the ropes and returns with a leg drop across the throat that sends O'Callaghan rolling out on to the apron, as James stands back up though PJ strikes with a quick roll up

…ONE

…...TWO

…...TH-

HE: That was close...just goes to show these two couldn't trust each other!

HA: I think with the belts on the line, the partnership was never going to last too long...it was just to take the third man out of the match...

James is quickly up to his feet where PJ whips him across the ring, as James returns he ducks under a clothesline attempt and spins on the spot attempting to lock his arms around the waist of PJ only to get an elbow to the face for his troubles, PJ then hits a quick snap suplex sending James to the mat

HA: Brilliant sequence there, you can tell these men are evenly matched so this could go anyway...

HE: Here comes O'Callaghan though!

As PJ kips back up to his feet he's instantly taken back down as the champ charges back in with a hard running elbow that sends PJ in to the corner, O'Callaghan then runs in hitting a shoulder block to the midsection

HE: ...and this is why O'Callaghan got taken out first...just look at him, he's on fire!

HA: You certainly can't downplay the run he's had as of late, the Irish superstar since becoming the International and UK Champion has been doing a great job of putting both belts on the map

PJ staggers out of the corner and as he does O'Callaghan manages to lock the waist and hit a brilliant bridging german suplex

...ONE

…...TWO

…...THR-

HA: NO! Clarke James with the save

HE: Working together again...O'Callaghan is getting discriminated against here!

HA: I think Clarke James just wanted to make sure the chance to become champion didn't escape him...

As James makes the save PJ rolls to the outside to recover. Back in the ring James has pulled O'Callaghan to his feet, hitting a brilliant spinning heel kick to the gut that doubles O'Callaghan over before James hits a tiltawhirl kneck breaker before making a quick cover

...ONE

...TW-

HE: O'Callaghan is still in this and it's clear that it'll take more than that to put him away

James is up quickly as O'Callaghan pushes himself up, as he finally gets to his feet the former 6WF star strikes

HA: Faithless-

HE: NO! O'Callaghan reverses! FULL NELSON..

HA: Another reversal....James managing to take O'Callaghan down!

HE: OH NO...BLIND FAITH!

The fans are amazed as the replay show Clarke James go for the rock bottom only for O'Callaghan to spin out of it, attempting to lock in the full nelson only for James to do the same, this time spinning around and being able to lock in the Crossface in the middle of the ring

HA: This is NOT a good postion for the champion, that is locked in tight!

HE: Where's Perfect Jack when you need him?!

In the middle of the ring O'Callaghan is in clear pain but shows grit and detirmination by holding on, refusing to tap out. James continues to wrench back, causing O'Callaghan to scream out in pain but before O'Callaghan can tap the Irish superstar is able to roll himself and James over, putting James in a pinning position

...ONE

…...TWO

...TH-

HA: Clarke James is forced to break the hold but that MUST have done some damage to be locked in that well!

HE: O'Callaghan showing just how tough he is but he needs to react well now!

O'Callaghan gets up and is once again met by James but O'Callaghan hits a shoulder block to the gut before unleashing an european uppercut that staggers James back allowing O'Callaghan to recover for a moment

HA: O'Callaghan can't wait too long...here's Perfect Jack again!

The fans cheer as O'Callaghan gets caught in the middle of the two men again, before he can react both charge but as they meet the Irish superstar he's able to duck out of the way, PJ reacts quickest though, landing a kick to James' gut...

HA: PERFECT PLEX!

James rolls on to the apron and as PJ gets to his feet O'Callaghan is waiting with hard Daniel Bryan style kicks across the gut before whipping PJ off the ropes and catching him with a tiltawhirl backbreaker on his return, O'Callaghan doesn't waste time though, pulling up his opponent only to get a Pele kick to the head for his troubles. O'Callaghan stumbles back allowing PJ to get to his feet, following up with a lariat

HA: O'Callaghan ducks the lariat! Oh god, the ref just got decapitated!

As Jack looks for the lariat he accidentally takes out of the official before turning around and walking in to a massive belly to belly that lands him in the middle of the ring, O'Callaghan quickly turns him on to his front...

HE: SHARPSHOOTER!

HA: There's no ref! Also...Clarke James is back in the ring!

James catches O'Callaghan offguard with a hard elbow strike before throwing O'Callaghan to the outside, as PJ gets to his feet...

HA: FAITHLESS!

HE: I don't think Clarke knows about the ref!

As James makes the cover he quickly realises the issue only for a new ref to run down to finally count the pinfall

...ONE

…...TWO

…...THRE-

HA: O'Callaghan with the save...we were just moments away from the belts being on someone new...Clarke James was nearly the new International AND UK Champion...

James and O'Callaghan once again clash in the middle of the ring but as James attempts to land strikes O'Callaghan is able to block them before hitting a number of snap suplexes, as he hits the third he quickly makes the cover

...ONE

...TW-

Frustrated at the two count O'Callaghan hits the mat before pulling James up who reacts well with an enziguri leaving O'Callaghan stunned but still on his feet, James reacts quickly kipping back up and landing a brillant spine buster leaving O'Callaghan down in the middle of the ring

HA: Clarke James looks like he's about to take a risk here...

The fans jump to their feet as James begin to climb the turnbuckle

HE: We've seen him hit the corkscrew senton in the past...this must show how much leaving Day Of Reckoning as a champion must mean to this man!

As James reaches the top the fans groan as Perfect Jack is back up, shaking the top rope and causing James to fall prone across the top of the turnbuckle, PJ then wastes no time turning his attention back to O'Callaghan...

HA: Perfect Jack with the figure four!

HE: O'Callaghan needs to hold on once more...he's in a bad position!

As before O'Callaghan screams out in pain as PJ does his best to destroy the legs of the champion, O'Callaghan attempts to turn it over but Jack is able to pull it back, putting even more pressure on O'Callaghan...

HE: CLARKE JAMES! CORKSCREW SENTON!

HA: Things are going from bad to worse for the champ...

As PJ keeps the figure four locked in Clarke James has gotten back up on the turnbuckle and launches in to a huge diving move on to the champion causing the ref to count

...ONE

…...TWO

….....THRE-

HA: Jack with the save, he had to decide wether or not the figure four was going to get the job done or to break the pin!

In the middle of the ring PJ and James begin to land hard strikes as O'Callaghan begins to recover, PJ gets the advantage with James still feeling the effects of the collission with the ring post and is able to hit a belly to belly that James is able to roll out of the impact and back to his feet. PJ charges in but James ducks under a clothesline attempt before spinning PJ on the spot and hitting a drop kick that takes PJ down to the outsite, James wastes no time getting to his feet, bouncing off the ropes and launching himself over with a beautiful plancha take leaves both him and PJ down.

HA: What a move and more high risk stuff from Clarke James!

HE: I have to say I've been impressed, it seems like ridding himself of Marshall Murdoch has really pushed him to the next level...

James is back up but the impact of the plancha has taken it's effect but before he can do anything O'Callaghan meets him on the outside and rolls him back to his feet, O'Callaghan then throws PJ across the outside of the ring sending him shoulder first in to the ring steps

HE: O'Callaghan looking to split these men up and keep his belts...he might just be the freshest man in the match right now!

HA: I don't know, he took a lot of damage from not only Clarke James' Crossface but the Figure Four of Perfect Jack as well!

In the ring O'Callaghan begins to work on the back of James with strikes before landing another picture perfect backbreaker, O'Callaghan then gets to his feet and mocks the booing crowds before turning his attention back to James

HA: I feel like O'Callaghan has the ending in mind here but he needs to act fast considering the toughness of not only Clarke James but also Perfect Jack who will be back in this match at anypoint!

HE: He has it under control!

HA: You sure?

As O'Callaghan looks for a german suplex James is able to hit a snapmare leaving O'Callaghan in a seated position only for PJ to return with a drop kick leaving O'Callaghan down. For a moment both men on their feet pause but quickly nod at each other

HA: It looks like Clarke James and Perfect Jack are ready to work together again...

HE: This isn't fair!

As O'Callaghan pulls himself up the fans are shocked as both PJ and James take the champ down

HA: I've never seen anything like this!

HE: Hold on O'Callaghan!

The fans jump to their feet as almost in sync both men lock in dual submissions with James locking in his Blind Faith Cross Breaker and PJ locks in a Boston Crab style hold meaning the back of O'Callaghan is wrenched at a hideious angle.

HA: I don't know if either man knows the other has a submission hold on!

As the submission gets too much the fans jump to their feet as O'Callaghan is forced to tap out

HA: The title reign of O'Callaghan is over but who won?!

HE: I have no idea...

As O'Callaghan rolls to the outside the ref brings in both belts and a look of confusion covers his face but before he can do anything the second ref who was taken out earlier walks over and raises the hand of Clarke James

HE: Clarke James is the new UK and International Champion?!

As the ref raises the hand of James the other ref shakes his head, raising the hand of PJ leaving the fans and even the two wrestlers in the ring confuses.

HA: I think we have two winners...

The ref holding up Clarke James' hand quickly begins to discuss with the other official in the ring as they call up the ring announcer

RA: Ladies and gentlemen...this match…

*The announcer stumbles over his words, before Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting plays

HA: Time for some order!

HE: A restart, surely?!

*Enforcer gestures quickly for the music to be cut

E: What a match! But, we have an issue. It is clear to us all backstage that there has been nothing wrong with the finish, although it is somewhat confusing.

However, this confusion will not give us a chance to restart the match, even if I want to see these three men lock-up some more. So, I hereby announce that the winner of this match is…

Perfect Jack

*Jack celebrates wildly

E: …and Clarke James!!

*The crowd cheer, enjoying the controversy more than the actual winners

HE: But who gets what?!

The two refs discuss further before raising the hands of both men but with no indication of who gets what belt.

HA: I feel like this is something we'll have to have answered another time but for now, all we know is that the reign of O'Callaghan is over!

As both men celebrate the camera cuts to a devastated O'Callaghan, recovering on the outside, and finally to Enforcer, standing flustered on the ramp

*Backstage, a dejected GazzyD stands with Charlotte Grey

CG: Gazzy, you went out tonight to put demons to bed, to find yourself again and find redemption…I have caught you now having only just left the doctor’s office, where we heard voices raised as you demanded to be cleared to compete in the Gateway to Glory match…

*Gazzy stares blankly at Charlotte, still breathing heavily even now

CG:…I guess what I’m trying to say is…what now? When nothing seems to be working…

GD: See, now you can understand the raised voices. That doctor has his medical opinion, he knows my injuries, he knows my past, but I can’t let that decide my future. So far, since my return, people here have preyed on any weakness they can. Christy, my injury, my struggles: those things have come to the ring with me.
But what they won’t do is be able to prey on any lack of resilience, because GazzyD is a tough SOB and he will be out there again tonight, out there to make sure, and I mean this with no offence intended, but to make sure people like you cannot ask me questions about the shape of my body, my career, my life…

CG: You intend to fight on?

GD: Not just to fight, Charlotte, but to win. Win back EVERYTHING that I once had.

*With fire in his eyes, Gazzy nods to Charlotte and walks away.

Ding ding

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the 6CW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

HA: Without a doubt….whoever leaves here tonight as the 6CW Champion will be headlining our flagship show in July…

The lights in the Air Canada arena dim right down, so that only the lights on the supporters' phones provide any illumination. A giant pink and black heart appears on the screen, drawing a cheer from the loyal Canadian fans, and then "Be Myself" erupts through the speakers…

HA: This does not happen very often for the challenger, but tonight he is home….tonight he is surrounded by his fellow countrymen…

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, the challenger…….from Calgary, Alberta, Canada (Crowd pop)…………….weighing in at 240 pounds………….The Icon…………Leeeeeeeeeeexxxxxxxxxxxxxx Haaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrttttttttttttttt!

The entranceway is now illuminated in a pink and green glow, Lex Hart stands there with his head bowed as the music turns up to the maximum. The crowd inside the arena are making their voices heard, in spite of the din of the music, and Hart begins to make his way to the ring…

HE: Unfamiliar territory for Lex Hart….it is not often he is cheered…

HA: The Canadians look out for one another, arguably the most partisan of wrestling fans……Lex Hart may be a lot of things, he may be responsible for plenty of terrible crimes…..but tonight, inside this building, he is a wrestling god…

Lex takes a sip from his water bottle and then pours some over his head as he continues to stride down the ramp and then around the ringside. The fans in in the front row reach over to get a touch of their hero…

HA: For Lex Hart this is about much more than just becoming 6CW Champion, once again……he and Cassius Zhi have been embroiled in something much deeper for a very long time, this stretches back years…

HE: For everything that these two men represent everything they have done and accomplished….it's actually a woman that divides them….who'd have thought it?

HA: I don't think it is just about the allegiance of Miss Jessica, it is what she represents….these two men are used to being the alpha male, their egos will not allow another to share what they believe is their possession…..in their minds there is only room for one…

HE: And that brings us to tonight….

Hart climbs up onto the apron and takes another drink before launching the water bottle into the crowd. He shakes his shoulder length hair from his face and glares around the arena once more before climbing through the ropes to await his opponent….Lex bounces back against the ropes and then stops rigid as the lights go down again…

HA: Lex is already locked on target…

A red mist begins to spread around the arena as golden spotlights scan the perimeter, creating a deep glowing effect. "They Say" is sounding out and the Canadian fans are booing with anger, the cacophony of sound echoing from the rafters to the floor seats.

Ring Announcer: And his opponent…………..from Tibet, China…….weighing in at 220 pounds………..he is the current, reigning and defending 6CW World Heavyweight Champion………………Casssssiiiiuuuuussss Zhhhhiiiiiii!

Cassius just stands on the stage as the wall of rage from the crowd just rains down upon him. He displays no emotion as he runs his hand along the championship belt that is strapped around his waist….

HA: Once again Cassius Zhi is the pantomime villain, the bad guy…..

HE: This is what he loves, this is what he feeds off….this is the world that he has created….the emperor, the tyrant….

Zhi then fixes his gaze down to the ring, where Lex Hart is staring straight back, and he twists his head slightly with a small, sinister, smile before beginning his descent.

HA: It was in December last year when Cassius Zhi destroyed Robin Reborn in emphatic fashion to become 6CW Champion, two months after he victimised Dicey Reilly inside the "War Games" structure….it is safe to say that this man, our 6CW Champion, has ruled this company with an iron fist for quite some time…

HE: He trades off of terror and fear, he is a master in the art of systematically dismantling his opposition both mentally and physically….

HA: Just two weeks ago he dismantled Lex Hart right in front of us….left him unconscious on our announce table…..sending a message loud and clear that tonight Lex Hart will join the very long list of casualties in the reign of Zhi….

Cassius climbs onto the apron and kneels there as the referee is forced to back Lex Hart into the far corner. Cassius then slowly enters the ring, his eyes always on Hart, before removing the championship belt from around his waist and holding it in the palms of his hands…

HA: In the grand scheme of things that is what this match is all about…..being the man, being the champion….booking your spot as the headline act at the biggest event on the 6CW Calendar…

HE: Cassius Zhi headlined Born in Fire in 6WF but he has never been #1 at Night of Glory….

HA: And for Lex Hart this is billed by many as his last shot to prove he still belongs at the top table….three times he main evented Night of Glory…….is he heading for number four?

The "Lex Hart" chants are ringing all around the Air Canada Centre as the referee calls both men into the centre of the ring, careful to place himself directly between them. Lex and Cassius do not blink as they match each other's hate-filled stare, neither one taking notice of the referee's instructions…

HA: These two men are ready to fight….

HE: And I'm ready to see it…

HA: There's not a person in this arena that isn't…..HERE WE GO!

The bell sounds and Lex Hart bursts out the traps and flies at Cassius before the champion can even throw up his hands to defend himself. Hart rushes Zhi onto the ropes and begins to explode with right hands and knife edge chops, drawing a huge reaction from the crowd…

HE: Lex Hart is fired up…

HA: Yes he is, he wants to tear Cassius apart….this is as ignited I have seen Lex in some time…

HE: He just needs to be careful that the situation doesn't overwhelm him, he doesn't want to gas out…

Cassius tries to cover up as Lex continues to unload with punches to the body and head, he then grips Zhi by the head and drives his knee up through the guard. Cassius sags back on the ropes and Lex whips him across the ring, dropping him with a huge dropkick as he returns…

HA: Cassius isn't used to this, he is the aggressor….he is the bully….but right now Lex Hart isn't giving him a second…

Cassius gets back up and Lex meets him with more chops before shoving him into the corner and repeatedly stomping at his foe's gut, forcing the referee to intervene…

HE: Lex Hart said he was going to take everything from Cassius, a lot of people didn't believe it but right now he is showing what he can do…

The raucous Canadian crowd roar Lex on as he heads back to the corner, only for Zhi to poke him in the eyes. The fans are now booing furiously as Lex staggers away and Cassius flies out and dives into a double knee smash to the spine, sending Hart through the middle ropes and crashing to the outside…

HA: That is how quickly Cassius can turn the tide, the 6CW Champion is one of the best we have ever seen…

HE: Both men are very dangerous, they have that edge that could turn this bout into something sinister…

The referee tries to keep Cassius in the ring but the champion isn't interested and shoves the official away. He climbs to the outside, where Lex is trying to crawl back to his feet…

HA: The men need to be in the ring, no titles won or lost out there…

HE: I think the referee may let these men go at it…

Cassius grabs Lex by the hair and he lifts his head up before crashing it against the side of the steel steps. Zhi then climbs onto the steps and he stomps down on Hart's head…

HE: That could fracture Lex's skull, that is solid steel…

HA: And Cassius showing he has no remorse, no moral code…

The crowd boo as Cassius just stands on the steps and gazes out into the audience, smiling at what he is doing. He then climbs back down and begins to pull up the cover mats around the ring…

HA: C’mon now, the referee needs to stop this….this isn't a no disqualification fight….

HE: That is concrete…

Cassius exposes the concrete underneath and then he drags Lex up and places his head between his legs. The 6CW Champion hooks his hands under Lex's stomach and lifts…

HA: He's gonna piledrive him…

Hart kicks his legs furiously and he blocks the piledriver on three different occasions before countering with a backdrop, sending Zhi crashing down on the solid floor. Cassius writhes in pain whilst the crowd cheer…

HE: Lex Hart's skull would have been crushed there…

HA: Cassius Zhi once again showing how little respect he has for his opponent's wellbeing….on this occasion it has backfired on him…

Lex lets out a roar, sparking another reaction from the crowd, and then he drags Cassius up and throws him back into the ring. Hart climbs onto the apron and he waits for Zhi to rise before catapulting himself over the top and scores with a huge back elbow right to the face…

HA: I heard that impact, Zhi could be out…

1……………..2……………..Cassius throws his shoulder up. Lex climbs on top of the champion and begins to rain down with huge punches…

HA: Lex is a phenomenal athlete and wrestler but right now he wants a fight…

Lex stops on the referee's count of four and then he stands up, delivering a huge stomp to Cassius' gut as he does so. Lex waits for Zhi to start getting up and then he runs behind him and lashes a furious kick to the back of the knee…

HE: Lex is going for the legs now, softening Cassius up…

HA: The legs and back will be his target…he came so close to winning that belt at Ashes to Ashes with the sharpshooter…

Lex drags Cassius to the ropes and he places the right leg of Zhi on the bottom rung and then leaps into the air, driving all his bodyweight down into the knee of the world champion…

HE: Cassius is flailing, he is trying to get away….

Cassius tries to crawl away but Lex grabs his ankle and then lifts his whole leg off the floor, slamming it back down into the mat with real velocity. Lex wrenches at Cassius' ankle and then lifts him off the ground again, driving the knee into the canvass once more…

HA: Lex knows how dangerous Cassius is with those feet as well….all of this is calculated…

HE: Cerebral…

Cassius backs up in the corner as Lex closes him down and begins to stomp down on the knee and leg some more. Zhi clings to the ropes as Hart grabs his legs and tries to pull him back to the centre…

HA: Cassius senses the danger and he does not want to give Lex a chance to get a submission locked in…

Cassius, in desperation, drives up with his shoulder and catches Hart in the midriff, forcing Lex to stagger away from him….Lex drops to his knees…

HE: I don't know but I think Cassius threw a punch in that melee…

HA: He damn well did, right below the belt…the referee missed it…

The instant replays show Cassius throws his arm between Lex's legs as he tackled him. Back live and Zhi hobbles to his feet, an ugly grimace on his face…

HE: Cassius does not look happy…

HA: Lex has been a fly in the ointment….for a couple of months now he has not been able to exercise his true belief in his dominance, Hart will not be bullied…

Lex is doubled up, clearly winded, and Cassius boots him in the ribs for good measure. He lashes kicks into Hart's spine, forcing him to roll from the ring for refuge…

HE: Lex doesn't want to stay out there…

Lex staggers over to the announce table, rubbing his back as he does, but Cassius is quick to follow. Zhi grabs Lex and smashes his head down against the table…

HA: We saw how this ended two weeks ago…

Cassius pulls Lex's head up and drives it down twice more before throwing him to the ground. Zhi then begins to rip the coverings off the table…

HA: The referee really is being lenient here…

HE: This is a world championship match, we wanna see these two go at it…

HA: But not like this…

Cassius drags Lex up by the hair and smashes his head against the table again before rolling him on top. He climbs up to join his foe and he smiles as the crowd hurl abuse at him…

HE: Cassius is loving this, he is empowered by the hatred of these fans…

Zhi then takes Lex by the head and he pulls him up. He holds Hart by the jaw and trash talks him for a moment and he smiles as he spins in….

HA: This is déjà vu…

HE: FLATLINE!

Cassius looks for Lex's finisher but Hart puts the brakes on and pushes Zhi away from him. The champion turns back around and Lex is already airborne…

HA: FLATLINE THROUGH OUR TABLE, MY GOD!

*Crowd pop

HE: Lex just got even…

HA: He needs to forget that pain in his back and get Cassius in the ring, we will have a new champion…

The whole arena is rocking as Lex delivers the RKO right through the table. Hart arches his back and looks in pain upon landing whilst Cassius is completely flat out, face down on the wreckage…

HE: This match just went to the next level…

HA: This is what being world champion means….

Lex slowly crawls over to Cassius and he begins dragging the prone form of Zhi back toward the ring. Cassius is a dead weight and it takes a lot of effort for Hart to hoist him up and roll him back in the ring…

HA: Cassius' title reign in the balance here….

1.

..
..
………thr-shoulder up!

HE: 19,000 Canadians thought their man was the new champ….

HA: So close but Cassius is still fighting….

Lex sits for a moment and takes a deep breath before pushing his hair from his face and he crawls back up. He stares at Cassius, who is slowly stirring, and then he beckons for him to stand…

HA: Lex is so close here…..rising back to the mountain top…

HE: And Cassius doesn't know, Lex is sizing him up…

HA: One more big shot….

HE: Here it is….FLATLINE!

Cassius blocks the RKO and he pushes Lex into the ropes before leaping up into the air as Hart comes back at him….

HA: DRAGON'S…

Cassius looks for the roundhouse but Lex ducks it and counters with a sickening backbreaker. He quickly grabs the legs of Zhi and the crowd go wild…

HE: HE GOT IT!

HA: Sharpshooter applied….the hold made famous by the Hart family….poetic right here in Canada…

HE: And tonight there is no clock to save Cassius….he's in big trouble here…

Cassius yells in pain as Lex turns him onto his stomach and applies the submission hold in the centre of the ring. Zhi tries to crawl for the ropes but Hart has the hold locked in tight and is refusing the budge…

HA: Cassius was in big trouble at Ashes to Ashes when locked in the sharpshooter but tonight there is no timer….tonight he cannot be saved….is Lex Hart about to be the man once more?

HE: Cassius is in agony….

The referee is down on his knees and asking Cassius if he wants to quit but the world champion shakes his head and tries to reach for the ropes once more. Lex tightens his grip on Cassius' legs and he sits right back into the hold, the effort is strained all over his face…

HA: I don't think I have ever seen Cassius tap out…

HE: I don't know if he ever has…

The crowd are roaring their man on as Lex tugs on Cassius' legs again and the champion gives an involuntary yelp of pain. He tries to crawl for the ropes again but he misses and sags to the canvass…

HA: The pain is too much, Cassius may pass out…

HE: And then what?

HA: He loses the championship on a stoppage….the referee will deem him unable to continue…

Lex is nodding his head, his face red with the exertion, as he waits for the bell to ring. The referee checks on Cassius' pulse and seems ready to signal for the end…

HA: I can't believe Cassius has anything left…

The champion's head lifts from the canvass and he lets out a mammoth shout as he hurls his body, lifting Lex's weight with it, and places his hand on the bottom rope…

HE: He made it…

HA: He keeps the match alive but at what cost? Cassius Zhi cannot have anything left…

Lex looks disappointed but he stands and stares around the Air Canada Centre, listening to the crowd chanting his name, and he pounds his chest and grabs Cassius' legs, pulling him to the centre….

HE: Lex is gonna finish this….

HA: WAIT…

Cassius lifts off the ground and with a last gasp he grabs Lex's head and drags him forward, causing Hart to lose his balance and fall into the referee, knocking the official to floor. Lex looks temporarily shocked but then turns around as Cassius is back on his feet….

HE: SHOCK…

Lex shows fleet of foot to dodge the palm strike and then he drills Cassius with the RKO in the centre of the ring. He doesn't go for the pin, though, and instead grabs the legs of Zhi again….

HA: SHARPSHOOTER APPLIED AGAIN…..CASSIUS IS FINISHED!

HE: CASSIUS IS OUT….

HA: THIS MATCH NEEDS TO END….WE HAVE A NEW 6CW CHAMPION!

Cassius is completely unconscious on the mat as Lex leans right back into the submission. Hart looks over and sees the referee is still getting his bearings back…

HE: Lex Hart should be the champion here…

Lex spits in anguish and releases the submission. He heads over to the referee and gives him a shake before pointing to Cassius, who is completely flat. Lex walks back over and he kicks Cassius onto his back before making a cover….

1.
..
..

..
..
…………..3!

HA: HE KICKED OUT!

HE:…..?

HA: Nobody can believe it….

Lex rolls off the cover and he holds his head in his hands. He shows three fingers to the referee but the official tells him it was two…

HA: Cassius was out….

HE: He isn't human…

Lex struggles to his feet and he sags against the ropes before standing straight. He grabs Zhi by the arm and he drags him to the corner…

HA: Lex has to know how close he is, he cannot afford to lose sight of that…

HE: But he's thrown everything at Cassius and still he can't finish it….that has to take something out of you…

Lex nails a moonsault off the bottom rope onto Cassius and then he staggers back up and repeats the process from the middle turnbuckle. The crowd urge him on as he grabs the top rope and leaps up….

HA: HAT-TRICK!

HE: KNEES…

This time, Cassius is waiting and drives his knees up into the gut of Lex Hart. Hart rolls away, clutching at his ribs….

HA: Those were heavy knees….Lex may have broken a rib…

Lex seems to be in an awful lot of pain as he coughs and splutters, unable to catch his breath. Cassius is still groggy in the corner, clinging to the ropes as he gets to his feet…

HE: Lex needs to try and forget about whatever pain he is feeling and push through….

HA: Easier said than done if he has a broken rib…

Lex draws on the support of the crowd as he manages to push up onto his feet and he staggers back toward the corner, where Cassius is just pulling away from the ropes….

HA: DRAGON'S FURY…THERE IT IS!

The crowd groan as Cassius just spins out of nowhere and almost kicks Lex's head clean off his shoulders. He drops to his knees and laughs at the change in mood and then covers…

HE: Just like that….Cassius Zhi has ended Lex Hart…

1……………………….2…………………………3!

HA: NOT SO DAMN FAST!

HE: BUT HOW….

The Air Canada Centre has renewed fire as Lex throws his shoulder off the mat just before the three count. The smile has disappeared from Cassius' face once more….

HA: Lex Hart displaying the heart of a champion here tonight at Day of Reckoning….

Crowd: Let's go Lex x10

Cassius crawls over to Lex and he turns him on his stomach before lifting his head off the deck and then repeatedly smashing it back down into the canvass, time and again until the referee drags him off…

HE: Now that viciousness is seeping out of Cassius…

Zhi gets to his feet and he stomps down on Lex's spine, causing his head to come up off the canvass, and then lashes a kick right into the back of his head. The crowd boo and Cassius spits on the floor before moving to the corner and ripping the padding off the top turnbuckle….

HA: That isn't allowed…

The referee moves in to tell Cassius he will be disqualified if he uses the exposed steel but the champion just walks past him and heads for Lex. Hart is trying to get up and Cassius grabs him by the hair, hauling him up….

HE: Cassius is gonna batter Lex's head…

HA: He's looking for a cheap way out…

HE: I think he just wants to make Lex suffer…

Cassius aims to run Lex into the corner but Hart gets his foot up and in the way, blocking the impact. He drives his elbow back into Zhi's gut and then succeeds in pushing him away. Hart takes a breath and then runs at Cassius, leaping up…

HA: ENZE….OH NO!

Cassius ducks the leaping enzeguiri and the referee takes the kick right to the temple, leaving him in a heap. Lex doesn't even have time to see what he has done as Cassius drags him up by the hair and launches him at the exposed steel turnbuckle….

HA: DAMMIT…

HE: Lex might be out….

HA: Would you look at that….

The crowd look horrified as Lex staggers away from the steel and the cameras show blood gushing from his head, covering his entire face in seconds. Hart drops to his knees, the crimson leaking down onto his chest…

HA: That is a heinous cut…

HE: Lex is literally bleeding out….

HA: He said he'd bleed to be champion but this is something else entirely…

Lex just stays on his knees, blood everywhere, before finally collapsing on the deck. Cassius seems excited by the sight of blood and he drops down on Lex's chest, opening up with punches and forearms to the already battered and bloodied face…

HA: He's mauling him now….

HE: Just like he did to Dicey…

The punches don't stop until Lex just drops back on the mat, completely unconscious. Cassius' hands and body are stained with Hart's blood as the boos rain down from the concerned Canadians..

HA: Lex Hart has fought one hell of a fight but out of concern for his safety this match cannot continue, surely?

HE: There is no referee to enforce that kind of ruling…

Cassius rolls off and out of the ring. He stands in front of the fans and smiles at their taunts before pushing aside some technical staff as he reaches for a steel chair…

HA: Cmon now….enough is enough….this is barbaric…

Cassius rolls back into the ring and he points the chair at the crowd before turning it on its edge and smashing it down into the midsection of Lex…

HE: if those ribs weren't injured, they are now…

Time and again he smashes the chair down into Lex's gut, screams of pain and anguish betraying Hart after every shot. Lex tries to roll clear but only succeeds in flipping on his stomach, allowing Cassius to turn the assault to his back…

HA: I can't watch much more of this…

Cassius turns the chair back flat and smashes it across Hart's back three more times. He stands over Lex and holds his arms in the air…

HE: The ring, the chair and even Cassius Zhi are covered in Lex's blood….

HA: Cassius has weathered one hell of a storm and now he has beaten the life out of Lex Hart…

Cassius kicks Lex back over on his back, blood now dripping from Hart's mouth, and he hoists the chair up over his head, preparing to bring it down on his foe's head…

HA: This is like waiting for a damn execution….

HE: I don't think I can watch…

*Crowd pop

HA: TASTE OF YOUR OWN DAMN MEDICINE!

Lex just boots his foot upwards and catches Cassius right between the legs, dropping the champion in a heap on the canvass. Hart is completely covered in blood, his hair matted to his face with the congealed crimson, but somehow he tries to get to his feet…

HE: I don't know how he is doing it…

HA: It is the will…..the desire…..this is Hart and Soul…..you can break bones, spill blood but the last thing to go is the spirit and Lex Hart's is not broken yet….he still has something…

HE: But is it enough?

Lex gets to his feet but then falls into the ropes, the blood loss affecting his balance, and his eyes close momentarily. He manages to get upright and he grabs the steel chair off the mat…

HA: You know what they say about payback…

Lex yells at Cassius to get back up and then he swings the chair and smashes it across Zhi's back. Cassius cries out as he stumbles to his feet and Lex whirls the chair again…

HE: Ducked it….

Cassius ducks the chairshot and kicks Lex in the stomach. He tugs the chair out of Hart's hands and then swings it….

HA: Another low blow………….CANADIAN DESTROYER!

*Crowd ultra pop

HE: NO WAY!

Lex kicks Cassius low again and his head drops, allowing Hart to bounce off the ropes and return with the flipping piledriver in the centre of the ring…

HA: That's it….homage to his home country….

HE: But the referee….

HA: He's coming to…..this is the moment…

The referee is very groggy but slowly he crawls over to the cover and starts to count….
..
..
….1
..
..
..
…………2
..
..
..
……………………..3!

HA: YES….

The fans are jumping for joy but it doesn't last long as Cassius' shoulder somehow rises enough off the deck to render the pinfall invalid. Lex Hart just slides off the cover…

HE: Did he really kick out?

HA: I think so…..I don't know how but he did….

HE: What the hell does it take?

The crowd are stunned but they continue to voice their support for Lex Hart. Both men are spent forces but they dig deep as they try to get back up…

HA: I don't know how these men are standing….

Lex reaches out to grab Cassius but the champion bats his hand away and drives a knee right into Hart's stomach. Lex doubles over, blood pouring from his mouth again, and Cassius grabs his head…

HA: OH GOD NO!

Cassius just runs Lex back and he launches him into the exposed steel turnbuckle again, this time the back of Lex's head collides with the solid object. Hart just slumps into a bloodied heap…

HE: Lex is out….I mean he needs help…

The fans look worried now after the effects and impact of which Lex hit the turnbuckle. Cassius just stands and stares, his chest heaving in and out,….

HA: For once in your damn life just show some compassion and end this…

HE: Cassius doesn't want to….Lex has pushed him to the brink tonight and he won't forgive that….

Cassius grabs Lex's legs and he drags him into the centre of the ring. He prepares for drop down for the cover but then shakes his head as the crowd boo and the referee urges him to end it…

HE: Cassius wants to enjoy this moment….

Cassius leans down and he begins to help Lex up again. He holds Lex, cradling his head, and he begins to talk to his challenger….

HA: He's taunting Hart….telling him that he emptied his entire arsenal tonight and it wasn't enough….

HE: ONE LAST ACT OF DEFIANCE!

Lex pulls away and he spits blood into the face of Cassius. Zhi swells with rage as Lex, who is barely able to stand, mockingly gestures for him to bring it on…

*Crowd pop

HA: Lex Hart is one tough SOB…

HE: SHOCKWAVE!

Cassius' eyes bulge with rage and he stares deep into the eyes of his rival before burying his palms into the chest of Lex Hart, immobilising him instantaneously….Cassius whips the bloody spittle from his face as he stares down at Lex and then places a foot on his chest….

HA: Wow…..what a fight….

HE: That was more than we could have ever imagined…..a bloodbath….

Ding ding ding

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner…………………and STILL…..6CW World Heavyweight Champion…………..Caaaaaaasssssssssssssssiiiiiiiiuuuuuussssss Zhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

HA: Cassius Zhi was pushed to the brink, perhaps even beyond it at one point….Lex Hart took him to places he has not been for a very long time….

HE: And yet here he stands….and I mean standing….still 6CW Champion….he absorbed it all and I'm not saying he isn't sore, he isn't bruised because he is but he is on his feet…..this man….is he a man? This beast is still the alpha male of 6CW….

HA: Can he be stopped? I just don't know after watching that……..what an effort by Lex Hart…..he was treated like a hero by this crowd and he repaid them with one of the performances, if not the performance, of his life…..but for all his heroism he could not conquer the emperor….Cassius Zhi has once again proved that he has levels beyond that of a normal human being….

The crowd are booing furiously as "They Say" plays from the speakers and Cassius is declared the winner. He keeps his foot on Lex's chest for a few moments and then snatches his championship belt from the referee and hoists it in the air. He looks down at Lex, a dark edge to his glare, and then he smirks as he climbs from the ring and makes his exit. Lex is still bleeding and the ringside doctor is in to check on him….

HA: Lex is going to need some serious medical attention after that…

HE: I guess that rules him out of the Gateway?

HA: I think it would go beyond a miracle….it would take something of Leone proportions…..but after witnessing his performance here tonight, who the hell knows…..I wouldn't advise it…

The crowd are all on their feet and applauding as Lex is helped to sit up in the middle of the ring. It is clear he is in a lot of pain as there are calls for a stretcher…

HA: There is no way on earth Lex Hart will let them put him on a stretcher here in Canada…

Lex shoves away the help as they get him into the aisleway but he immediately drops to his knees. The medical team help him back up but he tells them he won't get on the stretcher…

HE: He wants to walk out of here…he has earned that…

HA: What a display…..what a match….what a night….

The "Lex Hart" chants continue to ring around the Air Canada Centre as the "Icon" is helped up the ramp and toward the backstage area.

HA: Folks you are not going to want to go anywhere though because coming up next we have the Gateway to Glory….30 men will view for the opportunity of a lifetime….a one way golden ticket to the main event of Night of Glory…..and it is coming up next…

*Cerberus is seen in his ring gear walking backstage. Suddenly from off camera Engel appears although Cerberus does not seem impressed*

C: What do you want?

EH: Cerberus...Buddy, hows it going? I just wanted to congratulate you on earning that number thirty spot in the Gateway to Glory hehe...my former protege come of age at last.

*Cerberus stops and squares up to Engel in the corridor*

C: I am not in the mood for any of your sh** tonight Engel. Get in my way and I will cripple you...

*Engel bursts into laughter which infuriates Cerberus even more*

EH: There he is, the monster I took under my wing all those years ago...hehehe...you really know how to get my pulse racing.

C: Seriously Engel, get out of my way...

*Engel steps back a little*

EH: OKAY OKAY, RElax, I just wanted to say well done and wish you luck out there like friends do...

*Cerberus shakes his head*

C: I don't need LUCK!

EH: Hehehe, of course you do...you see just last year at Night of Glory you stood in front of my destiny and you defeated me for that shiny belt you have on your shoulder...well the truth is kid...thats your level hehehe and these Angels have elevated me beyond even that. Anyway I must shoot, its been a pleasure old bean but I have people to see, things to do Gateway to Glories to go win...TA-TA.

*Engel rushes off screen as Cerberus seems to grow more angry. He sighs before continuing to walk down the corridor*

*We cut again to another vignette. It starts on the face of Cassius Zhi, smiling as he stands above the stricken Robin Reborn. It then fades to Liam Wood, laughing at the hurt and desperate face of Engel Harlequin. The dramatic narrator of previous videos is speaking again

“One last chance to meet with destiny”

*We see Liam Wood

LW: MY LEGACY WILL NOT BE DENIED!

“One last chance to end tyranny”

*Cassius Zhi is on the screen once more, standing in an Anarchy ring

CZ: I WILL BURN THIS COMPANY TO THE GROUND!

“A final opportunity to turn failure to success, and take a shot at redemption”

*We see the pained expressions of GazzyD, Dicey Reilly and Engel Harlequin

“To meet with 29 other competitors, and to stand above them all as a winner”

*Joshua is the first in the picture, and then the images of Robin Reborn springing back into the ring from the ropes at last year’s Gateway to Glory match

“…and to walk down the path that leads…to one night…”

*We quickly see multiple new world champions who were crowned at Night of Glory flash up on the screen

“Night of Glory”

*The London Stadium flies into perspective

“London, 2017, a night where champions lay down their lives and new heroes are born…

… Sunday 6th August 2017 - 6CW Night of Glory VIII”

*Lastly, we cut backstage. Liam Wood paces around a darkened room, but Plague sits calmly as the camera slowly zooms in and focuses on him

EP: Since we arrived, look at the army we have created. The Brotherhood has grown stronger, but weakness must be preyed upon still. Weakness in our own ranks shall not be tolerated, and the weaknesses of others is to be exploited.

A cleansing is coming, and our ranks must swallow some whole, whilst others must be brought in and nourished to full health.

No failure will be accepted.

*He turns and looks to Wood, who matches his stare. Plague laughs, holding the eye contact, as the scene fades.

30 Man Over-the-Top Battle Royal
Winner Gets a World Title Match at Night of Glory

HA: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome back to Day of Reckoning and my god, what a show it has been this evening, filled with incredible matches and huge shocks.

HE: But don't think that this marks the end, in fact that was merely the build-up to our following match, the final contest of the evening, the GATEWAY TO GLORY MATCH!

HA: Bigger than the Royal Rumble, Better than the Gold Rush match, this match is a potential career-changer like no other.

HE: Thirty entrants, and the last one standing receives a world title match at 6CW's flagship pay per view event, Night of Glory, in just over two months time!

HA: Everybody on the roster is entered into this match-up, everyone has the same chance of winning, this is a life-changer of a match. It is a match that makes legends, creates iconic moments.

HE: The 6CW roster has never been more filled with talent than at this very moment, you would say half the entrants in this match-up could legitimately consider themselves world title challengers, be it because of their reputation or potential.

HA: Well, without further ado let's get this match under-way, and see who will be starting off the contest.

Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentleman, it is now time for your MAIN EVENT...THE GATEWAY TO GLORY MATCH!

We will start with two wrestlers in the ring, and then they will be joined every ninety seconds by another member of the 6CW Roster! In total, thirty men will enter this match up. You can only be eliminated by being thrown over the top rope.

The winner of this match will be the last man standing, and will advance to the main event at NIGHT OF GLORY, to fight for a world title of their choosing.

"Ante Up" rips across the arena and JJ Johnson steps through the curtain. There is certainly a mixed reaction for Johnson as he bounces up and down on the spot for a few moments. JJ then walks down the ramp coolly, his glare never leaving that of Steel.

HA: Here is a man who is a veteran of these match-ups, a former Gold Rush winner in 6WF.

HE: We know that Johnson is one of the toughest SOB's that wrestling has ever seen, he will need all that resilience this evening from the number 1 position in the math.

"Last Resort" hits and the crowd cheer as Geoff Steel marches out onto the stage, he nods to the fans, jumping up and down on the spot a few times before making his way down the ramp to the ring.

HA: A tough task for the former 6CW World Champion, Geoff Steel starting this match off from the number 2 spot.

HE: Robin Reborn secured the win last year from number 2, anything is possible Harold.

HA: Here is a man who is a veteran of these match-ups, a former Gold Rush winner in 6WF.

HE: We know that Johnson is one of the toughest SOB's that wrestling has ever seen, he will need all that resilience this evening from the number 2 position in the math.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Geoff Steel and JJ Johnson meet in the middle of the ring, and lock-up. Johnson forces Steel backwards towards the ropes, he immediately makes a grab for the legs of the veteran 6CW star in an attempt to force him over the top rope but Steel blocks it. He then crashes a knee up into the stomach of JJ who releases the legs and takes a step back.

Steel runs forward at JJ, knocking him backwards with a couple of European Uppercuts into the chin. Steel then Irish whips Johnson into the ropes, taking him down with a hip toss. Johnson rolls up to his feet and Steel takes him down with a big clothesline.

Johnson rolls up to his feet, Steel boots him in the stomach and then lifts JJ onto his shoulders, going for a powerslam. JJ frees himself from the grasp of Steel, dropping down the back and then grabbing Geoff Steel by the waist and throwing him out across the ring with a German suplex.

Steel tries to roll away from Johnson, who stops him in his tracks by driving a couple of stiff knees down into the head of Steel. Johnson drags him to the corner, he picks up Steel and then unloads on him with a series of crunching body punches. JJ steps back to the opposite corner, before sprinting across and nailing a big stinger splash.

HA: A strong start from JJ Johnson!

HE: Let's see how he fares now Harold, with the third man set to enter the contest now.

The clock ticks down to 0, the crowd turn to the ramp as "Limelight" blares out through the speakers and the crowd cheer loudly as Gazzy D marches out onto the stage, he takes in the wild cheering of the crowd with a grin on his face. Gazzy builds into a sprint as he makes his way down the ramp, sliding in under the bottom rope...

HA: These two had a storied rivalry and its set to be renewed here!

Gazzy leaps onto the ring apron, he springboards over the top rope. JJ runs at him, Gazzy D ducks under the on-rushing JJ and then bounces off the ropes himself, before taking JJ down with a Lou Thesz press. Gazzy then starts pummeling away at the head of JJ, driving punches down into the head of his rival.

Out of desperation, JJ digs a thumb into the eye of Gazzy D who rolls away, temporarily blinded by the actions of JJ Johnson. JJ dives down onto Gazzy, MMA style, crashing a series of open elbows into the face of Gazzy. The 6CW Fan favourite manages to block an elbow, and then kicks JJ in the stomach repeatedly to force him away.

The pair rise to their feet, Gazzy hits a couple of right hands but then JJ gets a block in, he fires off a couple of punches of his own, hitting two lefts and following that with a big right hand that knocks Gazzy down to the canvas. Gazzy D stumbles up, JJ boots him in the stomach and then nails Gazzy with an Emerald Fusion.

Johnson looks down at Gazzy with a smirk and then starts laying into him with a series of stomps on the canvas. Gazzy D rolls towards the corner, and JJ continues with the stomps down into the head of his rival. JJ then picks up Gazzy, he slings him over his shoulders but Steel is over, taking down JJ with a chopblock.

HE: What the hell is Steel doing?! As much as he and Gazzy might be pals, this match is every man for themselves.

Steel locks in a sleeper hold on JJ, looking to wear him down, as Gazzy slowly stirs to his feet. Steel brings JJ to his feet, the pair then look to eliminate Johnson, driving him back towards the ropes. As they do so, the clock hits 0...

"Sad but true" hits and the crowd give a mixed reception for the first half of the Parasite Killers, James McManus. He slowly walks to the ring, surveying the scene around.

HA: Let's see how this one goes for McManus, who is of course operating by himself tonight rather than as part of a team.

HE: At least for the moment anyway!

McManus slides into the ring, he immediately joins Gazzy D and Geoff Steel in their attempt to eliminate JJ Johnson from the match-up. McManus grabs the right leg of JJ, with Steel and Gazzy on the left. They attempt to force JJ over the top rope but he manages to rest his body weight against the ropes.

JJ then starts swinging wildly, and he manages to connect flush with a few blows to Geoff Steel and Gazzy D, forcing them back. James McManus wisely steps away from the situation as Johnson frees himself from the ropes, he returns to attacking Gazzy D which leaves McManus to look to take advantage of the slightly dazed Steel.

McManus throws Geoff Steel into the corner, he turns him around and then cracks a couple of knees into the back. McManus goes back across the ring, before sprinting in and connecting with a big knee to the back. Steel slumps down, McManus grabs him by the waist away from the ropes and then hits an inverted backbreaker.

The former tag team champion then beats down on Steel with stomps to the back, before locking in a boston crab in the middle of the ring.

HA: He knows that submission holds won't win him this match, but it will certainly wear down Geoff Steel.

HE: And obviously a lot of power required to eliminate opponents over the top rope comes from the back.

JJ locks in an armbar hold on Gazzy, he then proceeds to stomp down into the head of Gazzy once again. Gazzy D gets up to his feet, he throws a clothesline with the arm not locked in the submission but Johnson easily ducks it. He then drills Gazzy with a jawbreaker before launching him out across the ring with a belly to belly supex. Johnson the returns to the armbar.

HA: Another clever tactic.

HE: Again, the arms very important in the technique required to eliminate an opponent in this match.

Johnson stomps down on the shoulder of Gazzy D repeatedly before dragging him up to his feet. JJ then connects with a running shoulderbreaker on the 6CW veteran as the clock hits 0...
"Machine gun" plays out around the arena, Jackson Jackson comes sprinting down the ramp, tossing his tag team title belt to one side as he slides into the ring.

HA: Double J going straight for McManus!

Jackson Jackson drags McManus away from Gazzy D, he turns him around and then snapmares McManus down to the canvas. Jackson slaps McManus around the back of the head before bouncing off the ropes and connecting with a neck snap on McManus.

Double J then turns his attentions to JJ Johnson quickly, he sprints towards JJ and takes him down with a dropkick.

Steel runs over, connecting with a big boot as Gazzy rises but he can't force him out over the top rope, with Gazzy landing down on the apron. Steel grabs Gazzy by the head from over the top rope, lifting him to his feet and trying to eliminate him with punches as the clock again ticks down...

HA: Time for entrant number 6...

HE: And it's another member of the tag team division, one that doesn't spell good news for a certain Jackson Jackson.

"Change(in the house of flies)" hits and the crowd boo as Fanatic strides out onto the stage. He marches down the ramp to the ring, where he clambers in over the top rope. Jackson goes to meet him with a superkick, but Fanatic bats him away with ease.

The monstrous star then grabs Jackson Jackson by the throat, and then throws him out across the ring with a huge choke suplex. Jackson rolls up to his feet and Fanatic flattens him with a big boot to the skull.

Cameras pan to Steel, who is still trying to force Gazzy D off the ring apron, out of pure desperation Gazzy grabs Steel by the head and then pulls him down across the top rope with a jawbreaker like move. Steel stumbles back, Gazzy D then flies in off the top rope and takes down Geoff Steel with a flying forearm smash ala AJ Styles.

Steel rolls up to his feet, Gazzy D boots him in the stomach and then sends Steel out across the ring with a suplex. Gazzy then bounces off the ropes, taking down Steel with a head-scissors on this occassion. Gazzy then picks up Steel by the head, he sprints towards the corner and throws him into the turnbuckls.

Gazzy retreats back to the opposite corner, he comes sprinting in but is cut off mid-way by JJ Johnson, who hits a big American Football like tackle which takes out Gazzy.

HA: You have to feel sorry for Gazzy, every time he seems to build a little momentum, he gets cut off.

Fanatic is shown holding Jackson in a full nelson as James McManus pummels away on the abdomen of the tag team champion...
"Machine Gun" hits for a second time in the evening, leading to a pop from the crowd as big Frank Horrigan strides through the curtains. He storms down to the ring...

HE: What a face off this is!

The pair of monsters Fanatic and Horrigan stand staring each other down. Soon the pair begin exchanging huge punches in the middle of the ring, James McManus looks to join Fanatic in dealing with the bigger half of the TA, leaping onto the back of Horrigan.

McManus synchs in a sleeper hold on the big man, as Fanatic punches away at the abdomen of Horrigan. McManus drops down the back, Fanatic runs the ropes and nails a big clothesline on Horrigan just as McManus hits a low dropkick to the  back of the leg.

With the big man on the floor, McManus and Fanatic grab the legs of Horrigan, before smashing them down into the canvas repeatedly. Jackson Jackson is up to his feet and looks to make the save for his tag team partner. First he runs in, taking down McManus with a double axe handle to the back of the head.

Fanatic releases the leg of Horrigan, Jackson ducks under a clothesline attempt from The Fanatic before leaping into the air and connecting with a back-cracker like move on the big man of the Parasite Killers. Jackson then helps up Horrigan, the duo then drag Fanatic towards the ropes where they go for the elimination.

We are shown JJ Johnson, who is once again beating down on Gazzy D. Johnson applies a sleeper hold and then mockingly slaps Gazzy D around the back of the head a few times as the crowd descend into boos. JJ lifts Gazzy to his feet and then throws him straight back down into the canvas with an inverted suplex. Gazzy rolls to his feet and JJ flattens him with a big boot to the skull.

HA: And we're at 0 again...

"Remember the name" hits and the crowd pop, with Castiguer the first man into the match up from the Soldiers Of Fortune. he walks down the ramp, and slides in under the bottom rope.

HE: This one might just have worked out very well for JJ Johnson.

HA: Castiguer is of course a former tag team partner of JJ Johnson, who was parading as Angelo Anneiere at that point in 6WF history.

JJ holds up a lone arm, Castiguer stares at him for a moment before then joining in with the gesture too. The duo smirk, they turn their attentions to Geoff Steel who is down in the corner.
Johnson runs in at Steel, hitting him with a running elbow smash. Castiguer follows this up with a shining wizard in the corner, he stands on the ropes for a couple of moments before monkey flipping Steel out of the corner.

The 6CW veteran is met head-on by JJ Johnson, who takes him down with a hug spear. JJ lifts Steel onto his shoulders, Castiguer climbs up to the top rope and they roll back the years, with Castiguer flying off the top rope and connecting with a big clothesline as JJ hits an electric chair drop.

The camera pans to the TA, who are still attempting their elimination of Fanatic. He is on the ring apron, the camera pans to show James McManus sliding under the bottom rope, which of course means he isn't eliminated. McManus stands on the ring apron, pushing Fanatic forward to prevent the elimination.

This gives the big man a bit of momentum, he then picks to fight off Horrigan with a series of headbutts from upon the ring apron. McManus slides in under the bottom rope, he rolls up Jackson.

There is no pinfalls but Jackson gets the shoulder up, McManus then takes him down with a spinning clothesline. He then grabs Horrigan's waist as Fanatic fires in huge punches to the head. The clock hits 0...

"Remember the name" hits again, the crowd continue to cheer as the second member of the Soldiers Of Fortune joins the match, Sicario. He sprints down to the ring, joining Castiguer and JJ in beating down upon Geoff Steel in the corner.

Sicario drags up Steel, hitting him with a running powerslam. JJ Johnson then picks up Steel, he slings him over his shoulders and connects with a powerbomb. Castiguer then dives down off the top rope, hitting a frog splash down upon Geoff Steel.

The Soldiers Of Fortune look to JJ for a moment, the three raise their arms aloft as another sign of unity before dividing off, leaving JJ in charge of Geoff Steel while the SOF pursue their rivals from the tag team division.

HA: The Soldiers Of Fortune have done their job in terms of supporting their former ally, now looking to fight their own battles.

HE: These alliances can prove crucial in a match such as this, particularly for someone like Johnson who entered at number one in the match.

The camera pans to Jackson Jackson, who is pinned up against the ropes by James McManus. McManus tries to dump him out over the top rope, but Jackson boots McManus away from the ropes. He storms forward, but McManus rocks Jackson back with a huge European Uppercut.

Jackson falls into the ropes, McManus sprints in at him...

HA: Huge clothesline!

HE: So much momentum on that, McManus not only eliminated Jackson but also inadvertently sent himself out of the match.

We are then shown Fanatic and Horrigan, who are shown in a pushing battle, a real test of strength as they look to take each other out of the match, much like their tag team partners have just done. Horrigan manages to gain the advantage, cracking left hands up into the abdomen.

He then fires some big right hands to the chin, before grabbing the head of Fanatic. He slings him over the top rope, only for Fanatic to land on the apron. He doesn't stay there for long without his tag team partner to support him, Horrigan booting Fanatic out over the top rope.

In the midst of it, the 10th entrant to the match is about to make his way to the match, with the clock hitting 0, which leads to "I am perfection" blazing out through the speakers...

HA: Here comes Perfect Jack, another former world champion!

Perfect Jack enters 10th, he steps into the ring and immediately goes after JJ Johnson, who is attempting to beat-down on Geoff Steel. The crowd then pop, as The Soldiers Of Fortune sneak up behind Horrigan, eliminating him from the match by grabbing both his legs and dumping him out over the top rope.

We are then shown Gazzy D, who sneaks up behind Sicario and dumps him out over the top rope. Castiguer is shocked by this, taking revenge for his partner by beating away on Gazzy with flaying right hands.

Gazzy staggers back towards the ropes, Castiguer runs in towards him...

HE: BACK BODY DROP!

HA: There goes Castiguer!

HE: Both members of the Soldiers Of Fortune eliminated from the match-up in a blink of an eye, tremendous spell of offence for Gazzy D.

Gazzy D turns around, Geoff Steel is on his feet, the two stare down as JJ Johnson and Perfect Jack exchange punches in the middle of the ring. *As the clock hits zero, the lights go out

HA: What on earth?

HE: There’s only one man still wrestling who pulls this…

HA: Every year this match gets weirder and weirder.

HE: The prize is too big, it cracks some men, Harold, it drives them to anything.

*The lights flash back on and Edward Plague is dragging GazzyD down the ramp, away from the ring. Gazzy’s body is lifeless. Steel, JJ and Perfect Jack are all stopped in the ring, watching as Plague laughs, Gazzy’s legs scraping along the floor with every step Plague pulls him along. They disappear behind the curtain

HA: I think, and I can only guess, that that takes two more out of the race

HE: Plague hasn’t even tried to win…

*The three men remaining turn to each other once more and the crowd roar

HA: But we still have a World Championship opportunity up for grabs, Henry, and these three men have just remembered where they are!

JJ Johnson, Geoff Steel and Perfect Jack stare down at each other. Soon the three become embroiled in a brawl, the three trading blows in the centre of the ring. This suits JJ and Steel more, they start to gain some traction up against Perfect Jack.

He is forced back by the volume of punches, but they are unable to keep the alliance going for too long, and soon the pair are once again embroiled in a brawl of their own.

Steel drives a knee up into the abdomen, before then throwing JJ down to the canvas with a suplex. JJ is dragged to his feet, Steel drives him back to the corner with his shoulders to the stomach and then starts thrusting his shoulder up into the abdomen.

The clock strikes down to 0..."Be myself" roars out around the arena and the crowd descend into boos.

HA: Here comes Lex Hart.

HE: Hart came up short in his challenge for the 6CW World Title, being defeated by Cassius Zhi.

HA: But now he gets an immediate chance at earning another shot at that title.

Hart rolls in under the bottom rope, he spots Perfect Jack in the corner and immediately goes on the attack, he locks in an armbar hold and drives it down across the top turnbuckle repeatedly.

Lex places the arm of Jack on the top rope, he then climbs to the top rope and connects with a stomp down on to the right arm. Lex then flies off the top rope, connecting with a flying neckbreaker on his former tag team partner.

Hart drags up Jack, and throws him down to the canvas with a suplex. Jack rolls up to his feet, Hart hits a second suplex. Perfect Jack is brought up to his feet by Hart, he attempts a third suplex but this time Jack blocks, he then counters with an STO takedown on Hart.

Perfect Jack then drops a couple of knees into the face, before dragging up Hart by the head. He throws him towards the ropes, Jack then sprints in and nails a forearm smash to the head. That is followed up with a kick to the gut, PJ then pummels down on the back of Hart.

Across the ring, Steel has had the momentum turned against him, JJ flipping him into the corner and crashing elbows into the side of the head. Steel staggers out of the corner and walk straight into a big spinebuster from JJ Johnson. JJ locks in a side headlock, dragging Steel towards the ropes.

"Out of the black" blares out, signalling the arrival of Crime Lord to the contest.

HA: Here is a man with a tremendous reputation in matches like these, even retaining the 6WF World Title from the number one position.

HE: Number 13, unlucky for some, but I doubt Crime Lord is a man who believes in superstition.

Crime Lord steps into the ring and JJ looks to meet his challenge head on, firing in a couple of right hands at Crime Lord, followed by a left jab. He then goes for a right hook but Crime Lord blocks, before following that up with a series of headbutts.

The 6WF legend throws JJ into the ropes, and on the rebound he connects with a huge spinebuster of his own. JJ stumbles up to his feet, Crime Lord grabs him by the waist and locks in a bearhug hold. He swings JJ from side to side, before converting the move into a sidewalk slam.

Crime Lord then turns his attentions to Perfect Jack, who is being fought off by Lex Hart up against the ropes. Lex boots away on the stomach of Jack, who stumbles back into the path of Crime Lord. He grabs Perfect Jack by the waist and throws him out across the ring with a German suplex.

HA: Crime Lord making a huge impact here already.

HE: Lex Hart is next!

Hart stumbles away from the ropes, and Crime Lord cracks him across the jaw with a right hand, followed by a kick to the stomach and then a DDT. The clock ticks down to 0...
"Ain't no stopping me" hits and the crowd pop for Cameron Faith...

HA: The second world title challenger of the evening to enter this match!
Faith runs down the ramp, he climbs up to the top rope. Crime Lord sprints towards him, but Cameron Faith leaps over the top of Crime Lord. The former world champion turns around and Faith hits him with the Ghetto Blaster.

Faith leaves Crime Lord down, next turning his attentions to Lex who has just got to his feet. Faith throws him down with an arm drag, Hart rolls up and Faith hits him with a hip toss. Lex gets to his feet and Faith hits a spinning heel kick.

Cameron Faith spots Perfect Jack in the corner, he runs in and nails a big dropkick. Faith steps back, running in and connecting with a second dropkick. Perfect Jack falls forward, Faith knees him in the abdomen and connects with a swinging neckbreaker.

Faith spots Steel in the corner, going to work on him with kicks to the gut. As this is happening, Crime Lord begins to stir, striding over to Perfect Jack.

HA: So as we stand ladies and gentlemen, no eliminations since the shocking attack from Edward Plague that took Gazzy away from the ring

HE:…and thanks to time limit rules, Edward Plague’s night ends, at least in public view, with him forfeiting his entry in the Gateway to Glory match

HA: We are 14 entrants down, 25 minutes along and the ring has six men fighting away inside

HE: Lex Hart, disappointed tonight but I’m sure desperate for another shot at Cassius Zhi

HA: He is currently driving fists into the gut of JJ Johnson, a sentence I’m sure I’ve said before

HE: Across the ring, Geoff Steel is locked up with Cameron Faith, whilst Crime Lord and Perfect Jack, oh my!

*A huge European uppercut from Crime Lord staggers Perfect Jack, and the 6WF legend follows it up by grabbing PJ by the back of the head and slamming it down as he brings his knee up. The blood explodes from his face

HA: Don’t admire your art, Crime Lord!

*Steel floors Faith, then turns and swings a huge clothesline to leave Crime Lord flat. This happens as JJ hits a DDT on Lex, stumbling up into the middle of the ring and coming face to face with Steel. He reacts faster

HA: These two men started the night, but Steel on top

*He slides behind JJ and snaps a german suplex just as the timer counts down from 10 again

HA: Holding on for another!

5…4…3

*Steel cracks the third German and the crowd hit the 1 count. 'The Next Big Thing' by 1208 begins to play, and the crowd boo before suddenly realising what is happening and roaring on the coming confrontation

HE: The Next Big Thing…Mike Hill…and he’s already staring a hole into the man who stands tall in the ring

*Steel sees who is coming and ushers Hill on, who returns that gesture by sprinting forward as the arena erupts

HA: LIKE TWO RAGING BULLS, GET READY FOR A COLLISION

*Hill slides in and the pair meet head on, throwing fists wildly, waiting to see who gets the upperhand but not stopping to think about anything but throwing more punches.

HA: Don’t interrupt!

*Faith goes towards them and is sent crashing by a Hill right hand. Simultaneously, Perfect Jack has stepped to Steel and gets the same treatment.

HE: It goes on again!

*Finally, Hill gets the upperhand, and the fresher man sends Steel back to the ropes. He swings a clothesline, but Steel ducks under, only for his hand to be caught by Hill as he spins through. He drags Steel towards him

HA: Collision!

HE: Both men are going over!

*They both go over the top rope and hold on. Dangling there, they see the other at their side and risk elimination rather than look for survival.

HA: One hand each on the top rope, the other throwing haymakers!

HE: This is ridiculous! And the crowd love it!!

*The roars get louder and louder as the men slow down the punching, losing their grips. There are boos as Steel falls. Hill smiles, but Steel pulls at his leg and drags him down too. The crowd cheer raucously

HA: IT WON’T STOP THERE!!

*Eventually the pair are separated and dragged away from ringside. As security are stood on opposite sides of the aisle, keeping Steel and Hill apart, "Run this town" hits and O'Callaghan strolls down the stage.

HA: Here comes one of the pre-match favourites, the bright young star of 6CW.

HE: At number 16, O'Callaghan has gone one of the prime spots in this match-up, entering at around the halfway point in the match.

O'Callaghan steps into the ring, and shows tremendous experience for his age by examining the scene in the ring, realising that JJ Johnson is the most prone and goes to work on him. O'Callaghan stomps away viciously on the back of JJ Johnson, before then running the ropes and connecting with a leaping knee down into the back.

O'Callaghan then synchs in a full nelson hold on JJ, dragging him towards the corner and then throwing him into the turnbuckles. O'Callaghan hits a series of kicks to the stomach, which then follows up with a mocking slap across the face. This provokes JJ, who storms forward throwing haymakers, which O'Callaghan ducks and dives away from.

He then scoops JJ under the right shoulder with his head, taking him down to the canvas with a Northern Lights suplex. O'Callaghan then locks in a boston crab hold on JJ Johnson, again looking to wear down the man who entered the match at the number one point.

Crime Lord is up to his feet, he decides that's he going to work over on Lex Hart, but is stunned with a jawbreaker from Hart, this sends Crime Lord stumbling backwards. Hart runs in at Crime Lord, who pops him up in the air, only for Hart to connect with a hurracanrna...

HA: Who's it going to be next?!

"Revival Mode" hits and there is loud boos as the EWF World Champion Liam Wood strides out onto the stage, smirking.

HE: Liam Wood, Undisputed Champion, that has one hell of a ring to it brother!

Liam Wood enters the match by rolling in under the bottom rope, like O'Callaghan before him, he surveys the scene. He settles on O'Callaghan, who has the boston crab hold locked in. Wood cracks O'Callaghan with a huge superkick to the chin, the young prodigy crashing down to the canvas. Wood applies a double underhook hold on O'Callaghan, before sending him flying out across the ring with a tiger suplex.

Wood rolls to his feet, smirking, he walks around the ring and then turns towards Cameron Faith, who is beginning to stir in the corner. Liam Wood sprints in, connecting with a shining wizard on the man who challenged him for his title earlier in the evening. Faith slumps against the corner, Wood then bounces off the ropes and connects with a running facewash kick to the head.

Liam Wood strolls around the ring, admiring his handy work. Lex Hart has Crime Lord pressed up against the ropes, attempting an elimination, but Wood grabs him in a sleeper hold. He drags Lex Hart backwards, hitting a backbreaker. Wood hauls him to his feet, locking in a full nelson hold, before driving him into the canvas with a full nelson slam.

Wood then advances on Crime Lord, hitting him with a superkick, but the veteran uses his experience to fall to the mat, rather than into the ropes. Wood starts stomping down on him as the clock again hits 0...

"Time Is Running" out plays through the speakers and the crowd cheer for Engel Harlequin. He walks down the ramp, he steps into the ring through the middle rope. Engel works his way around the ring, he stares down at Wood for a moment but ultimately settles on O'Callaghan.

This leaves JJ Johnson and Lex Hart, who have both just stirred to their feet, to resume their brawl from earlier in the contest, while Wood attempts an elimination on Crime Lord. O'Callaghen goes after Engel.

O'Callaghan runs in at him, Engel ducks a clothesline before throwing O'Callaghan down with a Northern Lights suplex.

Engel turns his attentions to Cameron Faith, lifting him up and hitting him with a throat chop. Cameron Faith stumbles back and Engel then fires in some knife-edge chops, followed by another throat chop. Cameron Faith stumbles out of the corner and Engel nails a swinging neckbreaker.

Engel lifts him to his feet and then Irish whips him into O'Callaghan who had just risen to his feet. Cameron Faith is first up, Engel runs in and takes him down with a running knee to the head. Engel then goes to the top rope, Cameron Faith stumbles up and Engel then flies off hitting a big forearm smash. He makes the cover.

Engel locks in a front facelock on O'Callaghan , he rolls to his feet and Engel connects a series of knees into the face. Engel then throws him down with a gutwrench suplex, O'Callaghan stumbles up and Engel nails a spin kick to the head.

With Lex Hart driving punches into the head of JJ Johnson, who is embroiled in the ropes, it looks as if Engel is going to target Liam Wood but he is beaten to the punch by Perfect Jack, who chopblocks Wood down to the canvas.

The clocks hits 0, "Celtic Rock" hits and MMM stalks out onto the stage.

HA: Not a man you want to see entering this match.

He slowly walks down to the ring, he clambers in over the top rope. MMM immediately goes to assist Wood, but he is caught out by the on-rushing Engel, who hits a huge shoulder block on MMM.

He doesn't fall down to the canvas, Engel then fires in a series of punches to the body, followed by a kick to the stomach. Engel hits a second kick to the stomach, MMM lurches forward and Engel cracks him with a huge knee to the ehad.

Still it doesn't knock down the monstrous MMM, who stumbles back towards the corner. Engel runs in, hitting a leaping splash onto MMM. Engel retreats to the corner, before sprinting back in and hitting a flying forearm smash.

Engel then attempts a suplex on MMM, but it's blocked, he then responds with a suplex of his own, throwing Engel into the turnbuckles. Harlequin hauls himself up using the ropes, MMM runs in going for a big boot but it's ducked under by Engel. He turns around and then drives a number of shoulders up into the stomach.

Across the ring, Perfect Jack drags Liam Wood up to his feet and hits him with a traditional suplex. Wood staggers up to his feet, the EWF Champion is scooped onto the shoulders of Perfect Jack. He nails a snake eyes in the corner, following that up with a neckbreaker on Wood. Jack drags Wood to is feet, pushing him towards the ropes as the clock hits 0...

"The Death March" hits and the crowd descend into boos as Castile of the Death Squad enters the contest. The first order of business for Castile as he hits the ring is to drag Engel away from MMM, he then drops him with a vicious roundhouse kick to the side of the head. Castile drags MMM forward, he slaps hands with him and then leaves the big man to work over Engel for a moment.

Castile then sprints out across the ring, cutting off Perfect Jack's attempted elimination of Liam Wood by nailing him with a zig zag. Castile then starts stomping down on Jack, placing his boot across the throat of Jack, as he awaits Wood stirring.

HA: Liam Wood certainly being protected in there, firstly MMM and now Castile, his allies from the brotherhood.

HE: Wood is the star of that group, Plague the brains, you must know this was all set up and designed in Wood's favour.

Across the ring, JJ Johnson has once again managed to avert elimination by freeing himself from the ropes and firing in some headbutts on Lex Hart. Hart counters with a kick to the stomach, he then goes for the RKO but Johnson manages to push Lex away. Hart sprints towards him, JJ spins him around and connects with a big backbreaker.

JJ Johnson then drags up Lex, he holds him high in the air before running to the middle of the ring and connecting with a huge powerslam on Hart. He stumbles to his feet, JJ kicks him in the gut...

HA: The stunner connects!

HE: Great, but it's not going to help in trying to eliminate Hart!

HA: And now Crime Lord is in there again!

Crime Lord runs in, taking down JJ with a flying elbow to the side of the head. Crime Lord steps back to the corner, before running in and taking down Johnson with the drive by knee to the side of the head. The countdown hits 0...

HA: The Death Squad again!

HE: This is genius from Plague!

HA: Varyag now into the contest!

Varyag joins the fray, firstly him and MMM step away from Engel, they decide to take on Crime Lord. He tries to fight them off but is simply out-numbered by the forces of the brotherhood, who are joined by Castile, who temporarily leaves Liam Wood to beat down on Perfect Jack.

HE: Wood being given some tremendous protection.

Varyag, Castile and MMM connect with a double powerbomb/edge-o-matic type move on Crime Lord before turning their attentions to Faith and O'Callaghan. They pick up Faith and O'Callaghan before simultaneously launching them across the ring, the two of them colliding head on.

MMM joins Liam Wood in beating down on Perfect Jack, while The Death Squad work over Lex Hart. Varyag grabs him by the legs, swinging Hart around like a rag-doll, Castile then runs across the ring and leaps into the air, connecting with a double foot stomp onto the head of Hart.

HE: The brotherhood doing their job for Wood!

Faith is up to his feet, as is Engel, both men run in and take down MMM with a double chopblock to the monster.

HA: Varyag goes!

HE: Both The Death Squad are out of there!

HE: Just in time for the next entrant.

"Glorious" hits and the crowd descend into boos as the leader of Church appears at the top of the stage, illuminated by a white spotlight. Hero walks down to the ring, arms outstretched as he makes his way down the ramp and slides in under the bottom rope.

HA: Here he is, a man we never thought that'd we see in 6CW again, Hero!

HE: The leader of the church, multiple time world champion, is his time coming again?!

HA: At number 22, he's certainly got one hell of an opportunity Henry!

HE: 9 men in the match at this point!

Hero looks around the ring, he decides to lock-up with JJ Johnson while Crime Lord focuses his attention on Cameron Faith. Liam Wood slowly gets to his feet, as does Lex Hart, with those beginning to exchange tired looking punches, while Engel Harlequin is left to once again try and keep the Man Mountain Mike grounded.

Engel goes about this by stomping away on the head of MMM, before running off the ropes and driving an elbow down into the face. Engel drags MMM towards the corner, where he uses the ropes to spring up and drive a couple of knees down into the chest.

Harlequin locks in a sleeper hold, before driving the head of MMM repeatedly into the middle turnbuckle. Engel then runs in from the opposite corner, connecting with a cannonball senton on the big man. He drags up MMM, and attempts to eliminate him from the match.

The clock hits 0...

HA: WOW!

HE: YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!

HA: JEROME DUBOIS!

The French National Anthem plays out and the crowd pop loudly as Jerome Dubois steps out onto the stage. He smiles as the crowd cheer loudly, Dubois confidently swaggers down to the ring. He steps into the ring.

Dubois is met first by Lex Hart, who has freed himself from his exchange with Wood. Hart throws a punch, Dubois blocks it, he knees Hart in the stomach and then drives him face-first into the canvas with a DDT. Dubois kips up to his feet, Wood runs at him but the Frenchman cracks him with a clothesline.

Jerome Dubois spins around, he sees Crime Lord and marches towards him, Crime Lord walks forward with pleasure. He throws a right hand, Dubois blocks it, he then fires in some punches of his own that force Crime Lord backwards. Dubois performs his trademark French dance, which enables Crime Lord to crack Dubs with a huge left.

He stumbles around, Crime Lord scoops him onto his shoulders, walking towards the ropes and nailing the lock n load, sending Dubois out of the ring to loud boos.

HA: A short but sweet cameo for Dubois!

Crime Lord turns his attentions to across the ring, where MMM has sent Engel flying with a belly to belly suplex. The pair lock-up, in a real test of strength, with neither really budging. They lock up again, this time it's MMM who gains the advantage, pushing Crime Lord backwards.

HE: O'Callaghan very smart here, he's stayed away from everything and rested up in one of the corners.

Crime Lord is shown driving MMM back from the ropes, and then firing in some tasty looking punches. The clock hits 0 once more, ready for entrant number 24...

"Blind Faith" blares out around the arena and the crowd pop as Clarke James sprints down the ramp. He slides in under the bottom rope...

HA: James has his eyes set on one person, and one person only!

HA: Well here he comes!

HE: Both World Champions are in this match now!

HA: Still potential for an undisputed champion!

HE: We know how Cassius Zhi likes to do things in these kind of matches.

Cassius Zhi strides to the ring, he steps in over the top rope and immediately looks to pick apart his opponents in the match. Zhi walks towards the corner, he turns Crime Lord and takes him down with a roundhouse kick to the head.

Engel is next, he stumbles forward out of the corner and Cassius hits him with a big spinning elbow to the side of the head. Zhi turns around, he sprints across the ring and sees Faith propped up in the corner, he runs over and connects with a leaping dropkick.

Cassius then focuses on Clarke James and Hero in the corner, two men who he had storied rivalries with in 6WF. Firstly, Zhi turns James around and connects with a knee to the stomach, hitting a swinging neckbreaker.

Zhi drags Hero to his feet, cracking a series of chops, both backhand and open-handed, into the chest of the leader of the church who falls back into the turnbuckles. Zhi then sprints in, nailing a shining wizard. He stomps down on Hero, as in the middle of the ring, Lex Hart has O'Callaghan in a side headlock.

HA: Two submission masters going at it!

O'Callaghan counters the side headlock with a Northern Lights suplex, he then locks in an armbar hold. Hart gets up to his feet, fighting out of the armbar and countering with an arm drag hold. O'Callaghan stirs to his feet, and Lex Hart hits him with a double leg takedown. Hart drives a couple of knees into the gut...

HE: Hart locking in the sharpshooter!

O'Callaghan yells out in pain at the submission, but does show signs of fight, rolling onto his back. He then manages to boot Hart in the back of the right leg, forcing a release of the hold, O'Callaghan then pulls himself up to his feet....

HA: O'Callaghan locking in the sharpshooter!

HE: Incredible!

HA: He just out-wrestled Lex Hart, putting him into his own submission hold!

HE: For so long, Hart has been the technical master of this company but it seems as if there is a new king in town!

HA: Incredible stuff from O'Callaghan...

HE: But he didn't see that coming!

HA: Wood drills him with a superkick!

HE: Crime Lord now!

Crime Lord ambushes Wood, hitting him with The Custody. He looks down at Hart, who is clutching at his back. Crime Lord drags up Hart, running towards the ropes and then unceremoniously dropping him down to the outside.

O'Callaghan stirs from the superkick he received, but is soon on the receiving end from an attack by his challenger earlier in the night, Clarke James. In the corner, Hero manages to boot away at Cassius and then plant him head-first into the turnbuckle, spiking him. There is no rest-bite for Hero though, with Crime Lord putting his focus on him.

HA: It's time for entrant number 26!

"Born To Fight" hits and the crowd go absolutely crazy for the arrival of Dicey Reilly into the Gateway To Glory match.

HE: My god what a reaction for Dicey Reilly!

HA: They are damn happy to see him and at number 26, what a chance he has!

HE: We are at 48 minutes now, what a match this is!

Dicey Reilly storms the ring, he lines up JJ Johnson straight away, the man who entered the match at number 1. Dicey pummels away on JJ with huge right hands, who desperately stumbles aorund, attempting to avoid being eliminated from the match.

Crime Lord throws a clothesline at Hero, he ducks underneath that and then nails a pele kick on the rebound. Crime Lord stumbles back, Hero runs in and connects with a big dropkick, he then follows that up with the Hero Sidekick. This sends Crime Lord towards the ropes, Hero runs towards him, going for a clothesline but Crime Lord counters with a flapjack down across the top rope.

He then grabs Hero by the waist, and then sends him flying across the ring with a big German suplex. Hero stumbles up to his feet, Crime Lord knees him in the stomach and then connects with a big powerbomb down into the mat.

We return to Clarke James, who is beating down on O'Callaghan with punches to the face. James then hauls him up to his feet, where he connects with a big atomic drop. James then bounces off the ropes, taking down O'Callaghan with a running crossbody block. James gets to his feet and connects with a similar move on Cassius Zhi in one of the neutral corners.

The camera then shows Liam Wood pushing Engel against the ropes, attempting to force him out of the ring. Engel seems to be tipping, and lands on the apron when "Stronger" roars out through the speakers...

HA: Here he comes!

HE: It's last years shock winner, Robin Reborn!

HA: Another good number for Reborn, who does he know backstage to keep getting this luck?!

Reborn runs down the ramp, he slides in under the bottom rope, he drags Wood backwards and spins him around, before planting him head-first into the canvas with a DDT. Cameron Faith is now over, looking to gain a measure of revenge for earlier, picking up Wood and running towards the corner, where he hits a running slam into the turnbuckles.

HA: Reborn making the save for Engel there, and now helping him back into the match-up.

JJ and Dicey Reilly are still embroiled in a brawl that seems to be going all around the ring, with Dicey undoubtedly the man in ascendance, JJ desperately trying to block but several punches making their way through the grill of JJ. Dicey then lift a knee p into the stomach, Johnson lurches forward and is then planted into the mat with the craic-down!

Dicey goes to pick up Johnson but is soon blindsided by the Dragons Fury kick from Cassius Zhi! He turns his attentions away from Dicey, where he stomps away on the head of JJ Johnson instead.

O'Callaghan manages to free himself from the grips of Clarke James, turning the tables on him against the ropes, only for James to fight back with a succession of forearms to the face. James goes for a boot to the stomach, O'Callaghan grabs it but James levels him with an enzaguri kick to the head. CJ then grabs O'Callaghan...

HA: Plants him with the Blind Faith!

HE: What a huge moment it would be for James to eliminate the bright young star of 6CW in O'Callaghan!

In the corner, Cameron Faith attempts to eliminate Wood but he has a choke hold synched in, wrapping his legs around the throat of his challenger from earlier in the night. Faith is tapping but that means nothing. Wood eventually releases, and manages to land on the apron. He uses the ropes to enter the ring and connect with a springboard DDT.

Wood gets to his feet, he grabs Faith by the head and throws him out over the top rope, eliminating Faith. Clarke James is shown leaning over, he picks up O'Callaghan, he runs towards the ropes and throws him down onto the ring apron.

James runs the ropes, going for a boot...

HA: ZHI!

HE: SHOCKWAVE OUT OF NOWHERE!

Cassius cuts off his old rival, hitting his finishing move on James. He then picks him up and throws him down to the outside, eliminating Clarke James. The camera then pans to Crime Lord, he has Hero set up in a powerbomb position, he walks towards...

HA: HURRACANRANA!

HE: Hero eliminates Crime Lord!

HA: A shock run of eliminations there!

HE: And we are now onto entrant number 28!

"Prince Charming" hits...

HA: Number 27 was one half of the Red Arrow...number 28 is the second half!

HE: Hurst hasn't quite had the success of his tag team partner, but at number 28, what a shot he has here.

*Hurst slides into the ring and is greeted by his old partner, Robin Reborn

HA: Superkick!

HE: Well, they did used to like a superkick party, Reborn is reminding Hurst!

HA: They never did fall out, but it’s not a time to see where the friendship stands

*Engel is caught off guard by Liam Wood at this point, but he himself has let Reborn slip from his vision and whilst throwing a right at Engel, he’s sent to the ropes by another Reborn superkick

HA: ENGEL FLYING IN!

HE: REDEMPTION! FOR ONCE, FOR ENGEL HARLEQUIN, THAT MUST BE A MEASURE OF REDEMPTION!

HA: THE EWF CHAMPION IS OUT OF HERE!

*Engel lifts his hands in the air to celebrate, whilst Reborn is reacquainted once more with Hurst, this time from Jack’s foot meeting his stomach

HA: Hurst wants to work Reborn over now

HE: But he’ll be interrupted!

*Engel swings a clothesline that Hurst ducks, and Reborn has to duck too. He sends his arm back the other way and meets Hurst’s face with an elbow

HA: Reborn not happy with that!

HE: Truce over?

*Reborn pushes Engel, and Engel shakes his head, but then pushes Reborn over. He turns to meet Hurst once more

HA: Wait a second!

HE: TRUCE OVER ALRIGHT!!

*Reborn gets back up and uses Engel’s naivety against him. Engel, with his back turned, is completely unaware as Reborn charges behind him and then throws Harlequin right over the top rope

HA: Engel looks…crushed

HE: Is he crying..?

*Engel sits on the mat looking up at the ring. Reborn shrugs and turns to Hurst again to fight as Engel eventually slopes away.

HA: AND ANOTHER FORMER ALLY GOES!

*Hurst gets too desperate to eliminate his former friend, and Reborn uses a big boot attempt against his old partner by grabbing the leg and placing it over the top rope, before scooping his whole body over.

HA: Reborn on a roll, a man who knows what it takes to win this match, lest we forget

HE: A little bit of selfishness…

HA: I won’t disagree, Henry. Every man for himself in there, even if those little alliances form.

*The countdown from 10 begins again as Reborn is met with the right hand of Hero, knocking the wind out of him and sending him down on his haunches

5……4……3……2……1

HE: Cameras at the ready, brother!

*Power by Kanye West screams out from the speakers and out walks Anthony Grace

HE: Hollywood is in Canada for the evening!!

HA: And he’s walking into a packed ring, Henry. Robin Reborn, Cassius Zhi, JJ Johnson, Dicey Reilly, O’Callaghan, Hero

HE: World champions, past winners, heroes, legends, future greats…and now wrestling’s real A-Lister looks to usurp them all

*Grace walks slowly down the ramp, drinking in the boos from the crowd, but they are drawn back into the ring as JJ drops Hero to the mat.

HA: No time to waste for the rest of the competitors, Grace can join them when he’s ready

*Grace eventually slides into the ring, and immediately rakes Reborn in the eye as the last winner was tussling with Zhi.

HA: What a start!

HE: No repeat tonight!

*The intervention gives Zhi the opportunity to knock Reborn over the top rope and down to the floor below.

HA: This isn't quite number 30 for Anthony Grace but it's the best he was going to get after the Fight For Thirty tournament.

HE: Going for a sneaky elimination on Zhi straight away!

Grace tries to dump Zhi out over the top rope, but he pushes back off the ropes. Cassius walks forward, clearly angered by the actions of Grace. He fires in a series of roundhouse kicks to the side, followed by a spinning shoot kick to the stomach. Cassius then bounces off the ropes, taking him down with a swinging neckbreaker.

The camera pans to JJ Johnson, who is taken down out of nowhere by the on-rushing Dicey Reilly, nailing him with a big spear. Reilly proceeds to pummel down on the head of JJ Johnson. JJ swots one punch away, and then fires in a couple of headbutts, JJ frees himself from the grips of Reilly and then gets to his feet, stomps down on Dicey.

HA: And here it is!

HE: NUMBER 30!

HA: CERBERUS!

HE: THE MONSTER HAS ARRIVED!

HA: The winner of the Fight For Thirty tournament, the favourite for this match-up, perhaps the most dominant champion that 6CW has ever seen.

Cerberus marches down the ramp, he clambers in over the top rope and surveys the ring. He drags JJ Johnson away from Dicey Reilly, and then scoops him up and connects with a running powerslam. Cerberus then drags up Cassius Zhi, Irish whipping him into the corner.

The TV Champion then sprints over, nailing a huge splash on Zhi. He stumbles forward out of the corner, and Cerberus plants him into the canvas with a sidewalk slam. Anthony Grace sprints towards Cerberus, rocking him back with a couple of big right hands. Grace follows that with a boot to the stomach, and then a clothesline.

Cerberus drops down to the mat, Grace hauls him to his feet and connects with an Irish whip. Grace runs towards the corner, Cerberus catches him across the chest and then sprints forward, nailing a big spinebuster.

HA: This is incredible from Cerberus!

HE: Sheer dominance!

The TV Champion strides over to where O'Callaghan is attempting an elimination on Hero, he grabs O'Callaghan by the back of the head and throws him viciously down to the canvas. Cerberus then throws O'Callaghan in over the top rope with a hip toss. Both men roll up to their feet, Cerberus hits a double clothesline.

Hero rolls up to his feet, he runs in at Cerberus who boots him in the stomach. O'Callaghan then sprints in, Cerberus hits him with a forearm smash and then connects with a double suplex on the smaller duo left in the match.

Cassius bounces off the ropes, levelling Cerberus with a shining wizard. He falls to the mat, Cassius grabs him by the head and then runs off the ropes, levelling him with a bulldog.

Hero is up, as is Grace, Zhi motions over to them for assistance. The trio then start beating down on Cerberus, taking it in turns to stomp down on the monster. Meanwhile, Dicey Reilly and JJ Johnson both become embroiled in a brawl once more, and again it is Dicey Reilly who gain the advantage, the Irishman levelling him with a number of big right hands and chops to the chest.

HA: Where is Zhi going?!

Dicey is pummeling down on the head of JJ Johnson, who is leant against the ropes. Dicey forces JJ onto the ring apron, Reilly starts punching away on him...

HE: ZHI OUT OF NOWHERE!

HA: He pushed Reilly into Johnson, who is out of there!

HE: And now he takes out Reilly too!

HA: The bad blood between those two managed to spill over and ruin their chances in this match-up!

HE: And they seem to be blaming each other!

Reilly and JJ Johnson are stood on the outside, rowing with each other. The duo soon become involved in another brawl...

HA: These two simply hate each other.

HE: Here comes security!

HA: I say let them go at it, that's the only way it's going to end their hatred.

Cassius Zhi goes to join Grace and Hero once more, the pair who are attempting to eliminate the monstrous Cerberus. They are all trying to force him out over the top rope, with O'Callaghan again showing great know-how to watch on. Grace tries to grab the leg of Cerberus, but he is booted away by the TV Champion.

Hero hits a series of European Uppercuts, but Cerberus blocks it and then cracks a huge right hand into the face of Hero. He stumbles back, as Cerberus pushes Zhi aside. Cerberus drives a knee up into the gut of Hero, before throwing him out across the ring with a gutwrench suplex.

Hero staggers up and Cerberus hits a discus clothesline. O'Callaghan runs in at Cerberus, he leaps onto his back, locking in a sleeper hold. Cerberus then walks towards the corner and throws O'Callaghan into the turnbuckles.

Zhi pulls himself up using the ropes...

HA: GRACE!

HE: BLOCKBUSTER KICK!

HA: WHAT A MOVE!

HE: GRACE OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THAT VICIOUS ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

HA: ZHI IS GROGGY...

HE: ZHI IS GONE!

HA: GRACE DROPS ZHI OUT OF THE MATCH!

HA: AND WE’RE DOWN TO FOUR!!

HE: If you had told me it would be these for men, I don’t know Harold, I didn’t think I could be any more excited but these are main event talents, there is future, present, past glory

HA: Oh there is definite future glory in the coming moments for one of these men. One of these men will win the Gateway to Glory

HE: One of these men is going to Night of Glory to fight for a World Championship.

HA: Cerberus, Anthony Grace, O’Callaghan, Hero…the four men we have remaining.

HE: And you can tell they understand the gravity of the situation

*The four men in the ring stand in a corner each now, the crowd going insane. The noise is reaching levels that shake the arena, the mics needing readjusting to keep the levels clear

HA: Someone is going to have to make the first move, brother

HE: And it won’t be Anthony Grace!

*Grace sees Cerberus take a step and immediately he drops down and slides under the bottom rope. He turns to the crowd with a smug look all over his face

HA: Coward!

HE: Is he being eliminated, Harold? He survives like this, and that’s the crux of this tactic

*The three men ignore him, and they share a triangle of blows to each other. O’Callaghan is floored first, and Cerberus and Hero lock-up.

HA: We are getting into it now, brother! These moments are going to define the rest of the year.

HE: And it will be defined by dirty tricks like this!!

*With Grace taunting the crowd, O’Callaghan has taken the opportunity to roll to the outside and grab hold of Grace, throwing him back into the ring. He catches the eye of Hero and Cerberus, who actually stop to turn and punish Grace for his cowardous

HA: Both men taking to Grace now! A HUGE FIST FROM CERBERUS

HE: AND NOW HERO WITH A CHOP TO THE THROAT

*They both let smiles flicker across their faces, and as O’Callaghan takes Grace by the waist and german suplexes him back over his head, Hero and Cerberus go to war again.

HA: These men want to go to Night of Glory for a world championship shot, they want to be etched in the history books as a winner of the Gateway to Glory

HE: Careers are made, extended, carved into stone…history is made tonight!

*O’Callaghan is tying Grace up in knots, almost literally at times, but Grace keeps finding space to escape, breathe and take little shots at O’Callaghan. Hero and Cerberus go back and forth, until Cerberus releases a relentless rage of attacks to all three men, striking again and again and again as they fall down from his right hand shots, then pop back up for more.

HA: This man, at number 30, with all the energy…it feels unsafe for the other men to be around him

HE: He is dominating right now

*Cerberus flings O’Callaghan across the ring, the Irishman colliding with the turnbuckles and collapsing in a heap. Hero begins to match Cerberus, staying low and kicking at the knees. Cerberus eventually chops him down by swinging his arm and near on taking his head off with a clothesline.

HA: Brutal!

HE: BUT THAT IS GENIUS!

*The crowd boo as Grace low-blows Cerberus and puts an end to his assault. Grace then goes about stamping down and firing off kicks to Cerberus, taking him down to his knees, before planting his right foot against the temple of the big man.

HA: At least for the other three men, there is somewhat of a release of pressure. It was becoming ominous

HE: Hero and O’Callaghan may not say it, but as the two men of these final four to have actually been involved in matches this evening, I can bet they are delighted Grace stepped up and found a way to halt Cerberus’s momentum

HA: Even with it being in the fashion it was, I cannot disagree.

*Grace continues to just work Cerberus over, dropping elbows on him on the mat and stomping away. He begins to focus on the legs, and eventually locks in a figure-four, drawing WOOs from the crowd

HA: Taking a page from the greatest…

HE: Oh no no no, Grace is a real limousine riding limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun!

*Hero and O’Callaghan let Grace fight it out with Cerberus, gathering themselves

HA: Now here’s a matchup I’d love to see

HE: One of the joys of this thing, Harold, that chance to see men face off who have yet to really have the opportunity

*O’Callaghan goes charging in, but his overzealous approach is picked off by the wily Hero, who flings a quick elbow in before spinning behind and locking in a sleeper hold

HA: We all know submissions can’t directly win you this thing, but put O’Callaghan to sleep and he will be easy pickings to throw over

HE: Same with Grace and this figure-four; he’s taking Cerberus’s base and removes a lot of the power game.

*Cerberus, almost as if he heard the peril described, starts to really fire kicks into Grace’s chest, and even when the lock is cinched in tighter, he counters the pain once more and sends a boot into Grace’s face that bloodies his nose. Grace lets go

HA: Not wise!

HE: THINK OF THE MONEY RUNNING DOWN THE DRAIN IF THAT NOSE IS OUT OF PLACE!

*Hollywood holds his face, and his lack of concentration allows Cerberus to get to his feet. He shakes the leg that has been weakened, and then punches it furiously a few times

HA: He wants it to work fully!

*Grace squares up to Cerberus and begins to scream at him

HE: Oh no, that’s not smart.

*Grace jabs a finger into Cerberus’s chest, and the monster cracks his neck in fury, the crowd cheering in anticipation. Those cheers only increase when Grace open-hand slaps Cerberus

HA: I’m a little scared for him, Henry.

HE: This is not the time for that…the antagonising has its place, but this is not it.

*He goes for one more slap, but Cerberus catches the arm and bends it backwards, causing Grace to squeal in instant pain. Punches fly, staggering Grace again and again, until he falls backwards, propped up by the ropes.

HA: Big clothesline!

HE: NOT TODAY!

*Grace ducks under and kicks Cerberus to the gut, but is shocked to see him unmoved. He fires one more kick and his leg is booted away by Cerberus. The monster fires his own big boot to Grace, who drops down

HE: Don’t get up!

*But Grace does, stumbling, and Cerberus grabs him by the back of the head and throws Grace over the top rope and down to the floor

HE: DAMMIT!

HA: WE’RE DOWN TO THREE!!!

*Grace is incredulous on the outside, and he can be heard threatening jobs, demanding he is entered back into the match as the officials try to usher him away

HA: The TV Champion has taken us down to the final three, the number 30 spot looking like the golden ticket it’s often vaunted as

HE: Cerberus is on it, there is no doubting that. The intensity is electric from here

*Cerberus turns now to the other two men, and pounces on the chance to fire punches at Hero, who has kept control of O’Callaghan

HA: No one has been able to deal with him. That figure-four kept him contained, but he seemed to punch the pain away.

HE: The two men left are probably two of our smarter fighters, Harold. This is where Cerberus meets his challenge. Sure, he has the power

HA: You’re right, brother. O’Callaghan is the best technical wrestler in the world, hard to doubt, and Hero is not just talented, he’s wily. Every trick, every situation, he knows it all.

*Hero attempts to keep distance from Cerberus, and goads him as he does. The movement works, as O’Callaghan kicks at the back of Cerberus’s leg from behind, and the pair are momentary allies

HA: A minute ago Hero was trying to drain every last bit of oxygen from him!

HE: Strange bedfellows once more, but it’s what this match does!

HA: But never for too long!

*Hero makes sure Cerberus is just about as slowed as he can be, before firing a kick to the stomach on O’Callaghan

HA: He’s the veteran here.

HE: And he’s gonna need those brains

*Hero grapples with O’Callaghan, keeping chin locks on to slow him down and quick shots to the gut whenever possible. He even whips him into Cerberus to keep both men incapacitated.

HE: Hero is a smart, smart man

*He walks over to O’Callaghan and rakes his eyes before smashing the Irishman’s head into the turnbuckle repeatedly.

HA: Hero tried to kill Gazzy earlier tonight, I’m damn sure of it. And he’s gonna take O’Callaghan’s career and shorten it too, anything to win.

HE: Name of the game tonight, Harold

*Hero focuses his punches on the forehead of O’Callaghan, trying to open up a wound on his head. But O’Callaghan isn’t done fighting and uses his head as a weapon, smashing it into Hero’s. Hero staggers back and O’Callaghan slumps down

HA: THEY FORGOT THE MONSTER!!

HE: BIG BOOT!

HA: HE’S OVER! IT’S OVER FOR HERO!!

HE: CERBERUS TAKES ANOTHER!! TWO MEN LEFT!

HA: AND O’CALLAGHAN HAS REALISED…

*The two men are standing now, and they stare at each other. Both smile

HA: ARGUABLY THE TWO RISING TALENTS IN THE COMPANY

HE: TWO MEN WHO HELD TITLES FOR A LONG LONG TIME

HA: AND THEY’RE EXCITED, HENRY! THEY WANT THIS FIGHT!!

*The crowd are roaring, not one person on their seat, wild noise, frantic support; all desperate to be their own part of this huge moment.

HA: Cerberbus and O'Callaghan!

HE: Two men who have long been considered the future of 6CW...

HA: And that future is now!

O'Callaghan and Cerberus stand across the ring from each other, staring one another down. Finally O'Callaghan marches forward, as does Cerberus. The monster sends in a couple of massive right hands, but O'Callaghan blocks a couple and then drives a knee up into the stomach.

He applies a front facelock, only for Cerberus to counter with a back body drop. O'Callaghan lands behind Cerberus, he then goes for a roll up, more so as an attempt to nullify Cerberus. He quickly powers out, both men get to their feet and O'Callaghan ducks underneath a clothesline attempt.

The double champion grabs Cerberus by the waist and then slings him down to the canvas with a German suplex. Cerberus gets to his feet, O'Callaghan sprints in and connects with a leaping forearm smash. Cerberus falls back into the ropes, O'Callaghan runs in...

HA: BIG CLOTHESLINE!

HE: Cerberus onto the ring apron!

HA: One more shot!

O'Callaghan runs the ropes, but Cerberus blocks the running European Uppercut. He drives a couple of forearms into the face that force O'Callaghan backwards, enabling Cerberus to step back into the ring.

He climbs over the top rope, O'Callaghan run towards him but Cerberus takes him down with a huge boot to the skull. O'Callaghan rolls up to his feet, Cerberus boots him in the stomach and then throws him out across the ring with a tiger suplex. O'Callaghan rolls up to his feet, he walks into the path of Cerberus who nails a spinebuster.

The TV Champ picks up O'Callaghan, he grabs him by the head and sprints towards the ropes, he tries to launch his fellow champ out over the top rope but O'Callaghan grabs the ropes. He then fires a couple of elbows back into the abdomen to force Cerberus away. The monster sprints back in at O'Callaghan, he leaps into the air and connects with a reverse STO onto the top rope.

O'Callaghan then runs forward from the ropes and takes down Cerberus with a huge clothesline. O'Callaghan then starts booting away on the head of the monster, who rolls back towards the corner. The double champion then runs in, connecting with a huge knee to the side of the head. O'Callaghan then stomps away on him repeatedly, before picking up Cerberus...

HE: Here we go, this could be it!

Cerberus is grabbed by the legs, O'Callaghan tries to dump him out over the top rope but Cerberus fights back with a couple of European Uppercuts. Cerberus turns around, he knees him in the abdomen. Cerberus lifts O'Callaghan up into the air and plants him with a powerbomb.

HA: The tables maybe have turned!

O'Callaghan staggers up to his feet, Cerberus kicks him in the stomach and then throws O'Callaghan towards the ropes. Cerberus runs in at him, O'Callaghan uses the ropes to leap into the air and hits an enzaguri kick. O'Callaghan flies off the top rope and hits a springboard clothesline.

Cerberus falls back towards the ropes, O'Callaghan runs in going for a clothesline but Cerberus hits a back body drop. O'Callaghan nearly falls to the outside but manages to clutch onto the ropes...

HE: That was a close call!

O'Callaghan springboards in off the top rope, going for a hurracanrana but Cerberus catches him. He walks forward...

HA: Hurracanrana!

HE: Cerberus onto the apron again!

O'Callaghan sprints in but Cerberus meets him with a big headbutt. O'Callaghan stumbles back, Cerberus steps into the ring, O'Callaghan runs in at him...

HA: BACK BODY DROP!

HE: NO WAY!

HA: ITS OVER!

HE: ITS OVER!

HA: WE HAVE THE WINNER!

HE: FROM NUMBER 30!

HA: CERBERUS WINS IT! CERBERUS WINS IT!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentleman the WINNER OF THE GATEWAY TO GLORY MATCH...CERBERRUSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

HA: Cerberus is going to Night Of Glory!

HE: Cerberus is now, if he wasn't before, the most dangerous man in 6CW!

HA: Both world champions will certainly be on edge with this man walking around with a shot at their title.

HE: In the end it came down to two of 6CW's brightest young stars, the men talked about as the future of this company.

HA: Tonight they ushered in a New Dawn.

HE: On this occcassion, it was Cerberus who got the win after a back and forth battle after it came down to the final two.

HA: Undoubtedly O'Callaghan will be back on this stage again, but tonight, it is Cerberus who wins and goes to the Main Event of Night Of Glory!

*Cerberus climbs the turnbuckles, staring down the ramp and motioning a title belt around his waist as the show goes off air.
