6CW Proving Grounds Results Wednesday May 20th 2020 (Scars and Stripes Build Week 2)

*The show opens with Jackson Jackson. Jackson talks about how he’s overcoming the odds week in and week out but people still question whether he deserves to be the 6CW Champion. Jackson says he’s beaten everyone in front of him and he’ll keep doing so, all he wants is someone to step up and prove that they a worthy of challenging him for the richest prize in the business. This is brings out Ricky Nelson and Mike Hill. They go back and forth and Jackson laughs off the threat of Nelson but the young superstar says he’ll show what he’s all about tonight when he pins the world champion. Mike Hill waxes lyrical about Nelson and compares their careers, saying he was doubted earlier on but when he got his opportunity he proved he was that damn good. Jackson says he’s up for a frssh challenge and expects to still have plenty in the tank when he’s finished with Nelson so offers to kick Hill’s a55 too. This leads into the first match of the night

*The bout is fast paced from the outset with both men demonstrating their speed and athleticism. Jackson whips Nelson off the ropes but is floored by a flying headscissors on the return. Nelson charges Jackson in the corner with a solo “poetry in motion” and then drops him with a legsweep DDT for a two count

*Nelson scores a snap suplex and heads for the top rope but Jackson is up and swipes his legs. The world champion climbs up and connects with a huge Spanish Fly for a nearfall. Jackson hits an inverted atomic drop and a discus elbow smash to knock Nelson down before heading to the corner. He sets up for the “Jacksault” but Mike Hill gets up on the apron for the distraction. Jackson leaps toward the apron and kicks Hill in the head, knocking him off, but that allows Nelson to take advantage with a hurricanrana into a pin for a very close two

*Nelson climbs out onto the apron and attempts a springboard forearm but Jackson sidesteps and nails an underhooked tiger suplex before scoring with the “Jacksault” from the top rope. The three count looks imminent but Mike Hill recovers to put his protégé’s foot on the ropes

*Jackson sets Nelson up for the “Jacked Off” but Nelson fights out and then nails a leaping STO (Paydirt). Nelson follows up with a lionsault that gets him a two count. Jackson tries to recover but Nelson grabs his arm and rolls him over into an armbar (ala Del Rio).

*Jackson is in a world of pain and looks as though he may have to give up but after several minutes he manages to twist his body over and pin Nelson down. Nelson only just manages to recoup and kick out on two, releasing the submission at the same time.

*Jackson rolls from the ring to try and recover but Nelson launches over the top rope with a forearm takedown on the hard flooring. Nelson rolls the champion back in the ring and then connects with a springboard elbow drop for a two count. Nelson drags Jackson up for the “Rapid Fire” but Jackson fights and counters into a “Shiranui”. He then scores with a wrist clutch flip into a bridged pin for a near fall

*Mike Hill tries to encourage Nelson from the outside as Jackson attempts a “crossface chickenwing”. Nelson fights against the submission and then he manages to run up the ropes, still in Jackson’s grip, before twisting his body out into a modified tornado DDT. Jackson staggers up and into the corner where Nelson lifts him onto the top rope for a huge frankensteiner. Mike Hill looks stunned but gleeful from ringside as Nelson hooks both legs but only comes out with a two count.

*Nelson complains to the referee but Hill urges him to keep cool and finish the job. Nelson attempts to take Jackson into the armbar again but this time Jackson rolls out of it and connects with a buzzsaw kick to the temple as Nelson is on his knees. Jackson drags Nelson up and hits him with a hat-trick of suplexes and then sprints over and baseball slides Mike Hill to the floor on the outside. Jackson climbs up on the apron and he beckons for Nelson to stand before springboarding toward him…

*Backstage and Perfect Jack is talking to Travis Sharp. Jack has heard all the rumours that it’s time to hang them up but he refuses to be told what he can and can’t do. He knows in himself what he’s still capable of because if there was an ounce of doubt in his mind then he wouldn’t be here. PJ says tonight is a new path for him as he looks to be crowned king of 6CW. He knows all about Drake and is aware of the threat posed by the Wolf Pack but he’s faced threats like this before, references Genesis, so he isn’t intimidated. Clarke James then appears by his side and tells Jack that he’ll be ringside tonight. PJ jokes about Clarke James getting the itch to return but CJ dismisses the notion and just says it beats sitting at home in lockdown

*We get a segment with Robin Reborn, Ojore and Drake. Reborn is prophesising about the future for 6CW and the Wolfpack. Talks about how tonight Liam Wood will regret sticking his nose in their business and how lightning will not strike twice for the salvation of Uryu Ishida. Reborn says everyone who stands in their way is a target and that means that Perfect Jack is next. Reborn says if Jack won’t choose retirement then perhaps they’ll choose it for him

*Marty Helms is in Miss Jessica’s office. Helms tells MJ that he doesn’t appreciate being summoned like a lapdog. Miss Jessica says she has a job for Helms but he tells her he isn’t interested. Jessica tries to sweet talk him and promises him the world but Helms shuts her down and says all bets are off. He doesn’t conform and he sure as hell won’t be putting on a leash so she can lead him around like a servant. Helms reminds Jessica that he is the sickest, most dangerous man on the roster and all he cares about is getting his hands on the 6CW Championship. He won’t accept an opportunity by doing favours for corrupt management, he’ll get it by destroying everyone in his path. Jessica warns Helms that crossing her and making an enemy of the boss is the last thing he should be doing. Helms laughs her off and tells her she isn’t the boss, she’s just a stop gap. Helms leaves the office and passes Jimmy Phillips, who is just entering to see Miss Jessica

*Clarke James is shown sat at ringside and Perfect Jack gives him an elbow bump upon his entrance. Drake comes out, towering over PJ, and the commentators go through the history of the two men stemming way back to the origins of 6CW

*Drake tries to assert dominance early but cannot pin Jack down. Jack goes after the legs of the bigger man and chops him down to size. He works Drake’s legs over, using the ropes for leverage, and then tries for the early figure four but Drake escapes

*Jack goes back for another takedown but rushes straight into a big boot. Drake hits a big time gut-buster and a legdrop for a two count. He flips Jack up for a jack-knife powerbomb but Jack rolls down the back and rolls up for a near-fall

*Drake is up in a flash and almost decapitates PJ with a lariat. He whips Jack off the ropes and looks for a tilt-a-whirl on the comeback but Jack spins out onto his feet and dodges a right hand before popping off a German suplex. Jack goes high and hits an elbow drop but only scores a two

*PJ goes back up top and zooms in for a double axe handle but Drake catches him before nailing a huge chokebomb for a two. Drake backs in the corner to set up for the spear but runs straight into a drop toe hold and Jack applies the figure four. Drake is in a whole world of pain, struggling for over two minutes, but he succeeds in freeing one of his legs before booting Jack in the face to break the hold.

*Drake gets back up and he drives into PJ in the corner with a splash and then drags him out for the “jackhammer” but Jack floats over the back and then nails the “Perfect” slam but Drake’s long legs reach the bottom rope to break the count. Clarke James shouts some encouragement to his friend from the empty fan area and Jack psyches himself up

*PJ beckons Drake to stand and tries to nail the “Perfect Plex” but Drake shoves him away. Drake chases after Jack but the former world champion pulls down the ropes and sends Drake over the top to the outside. Drake lands on his feet, though, and he grabs Jack’s legs before dragging him underneath.

*We get an interview with Dante Phoenix and Fleur Michaels. Phoenix is aware that Miss Jessica is gunning for him he’s also very aware of many things going on behind the scenes that most people don’t see and hints that that is the reason he’s got a target on his back. Phoenix admits that he doesn’t know where the next attack will come from or who it will come from but he knows it is coming. He anticipated a war the moment he left Cherry Falls but he says his opposition have no idea what he has in his own arsenal. He says Miss Jessica should be careful because everyone is wearing a mask, even those who smile right to your face

*Drake re-enters the Wolfpack dressing from with Ojore and he’s furious. Reborn understands his anger and talks about the rotten core of this business, allowing Clarke James to be out there in the first place, but that Drake must re-focus for the collective of the group. Reborn promises that Drake will have his retribution because the Wolfpack will not tolerate anyone trying to make a fool of them.

*Ricky Nelson and Mike Hill are in Miss Jessica’s office following the loss in the first match of the night. Hill is lauding praise on his protégé and saying his performance deserves a crack at the 6CW Championship. Jessica admits she was impressed, flirting with the young man, but she can’t just go around handing out big time opportunities to everyone. She says perhaps if one hand watches the other then it would be beneficial for all parties. Hill asks what she has in mind and Jessica tells them to close the door so that they can discuss “business”

*Phillips attacks Phoenix in the corner before the bell even begins. He pounds on him ruthlessly with solid punches and knees before driving shoulder thrusts into his gut. The referee threatens a no contest but JP relents and lets Phoenix get up

*Dante is hurt bad as the bell sounds and Phillips immediately drags him into a huge overhead suplex. He follows up with a release German and then plants Dante with a big release full nelson slam for a two count

*Phillips argues with the referee about his count and then he whips Phoenix to the corner and crushes him with a clothesline. He lifts him onto the top rope to prepare for a muscle-buster but Phoenix kicks him away and then scores with a “meteora” takedown. They get back up and Phoenix ducks a right hand before hitting a springboard disaster kick for a close call.

*Phoenix looks for his own Irish whip but it is easily reversed. He dodges Phillips’ backhand on the comeback and then attempts a flying body block but JP catches. Phillips nails three straight rib-breakers and then a fall away slam for a two count. Phoenix is lifted into a pendulum backbreaker and then heads to the top rope. He prepares for a flying clothesline but then Phoenix is up and he springs onto the ropes before dragging JP off the top rope into a cutter for a very slow two

*Phoenix looks at the referee questioningly before pulling Phillips up for “Dante’s Inferno” but Phillips floats over Phoenix’ shoulder and then scoops him onto his shoulders, nailing a fireman’s slam (Attitude Adjustment). Phillips beckons for Phoenix to stand and then looks for a huge spear but Dante rolls aside to send his foe through the ropes into the ringpost. Dante pulls Phillips away from the ropes and nails a huge poisonrana, spiking Phillips on his head, and then rolls out onto the apron before scoring with a buckshot lariat for another questionable count

*Phoenix once again has words with the referee but the official gets uppity about his authority. He drags Phillips up for a “downward spiral” but JP battles out and then whips Phoenix off the ropes. He pops him up for a powerbomb but Phoenix counters in midair with a dropkick to the chest. Dante rolls out onto the apron and then hits a slingshot DDT (ala Gargano) but Phillips finds the bottom rope with his foot before the three

*Phoenix waits for Phillips to get up in the corner and hits double running knees to the chest. Phillips staggers out and drops to his knees as Dante runs the ropes and returns for a V-trigger knee but JP dodges and rolls his man up for a two count. They both scramble up and Phoenix leaps up over Phillips…

*Liam Wood is backstage with Travis Sharp. Wood wants to make it clear that he didn’t don a cape and become the good guy overnight but after a whole lot of soul-searching a change in his outlook was necessary. He didn’t save Uryu last week so that the 6CW Universe would suddenly get back on the hype train but after sitting backstage and watching the “Wolfpack” in action he decided it was time to make a stand. Wood says he recognised the tactics of Reborn and co because he’s adopted them many times himself and he knows they’re here to make a name for themselves but he’s making a name for himself too and he saw it as a perfect opportunity to remind the world and Robin Reborn just exactly who he is. Wood says Reborn has a high opinion of himself but he’ll always be in the shadow of the true star of EWF and he knows that eats Reborn up inside. Sharp asks about tonight’s match in the RTR with Ojore. Wood says being crowned king of 6CW is one step on the road to redemption and nobody will stand in his way. Wood admits that Ojore is the “man of war” but if it’s a war he wants then that is exactly what he’s going to get tonight

*Dante Phoenix is in the backstage area looking pi55ed off after being “robbed” in the earlier match. He’s removing the tape from his hands when Dicey Reilly enters the room. Reilly and Phoenix talk and Reilly tells Phoenix that he needs to be careful going to war with someone as vindictive as Miss Jessica. Phoenix tells Dicey that he doesn’t know the half of it and that he’s aware of the danger but asks what would Dicey do if he had the information he does and the threat it poses to 6CW. Dicey says that 6CW means everything to him and he’s meet any challenge head on, no matter the risk it posed.

*Ojore is shown waiting in the ring as "Revival Mode" is blaring around the arena, Liam Wood is shown marching down the ramp and sliding in under the bottom rope. The referee barely has time to order the bell to be rung before Liam Wood flies across the ring at Ojore.

*Wood takes the attack to Ojore immediately, firing away at him with a variety of different strikes. He scores a couple of early pinfalls with these strike attacks, such as a Yakuza Kick in a corner and a superkick to the grounded Ojore, but he powers out fairly quickly.

*Liam Wood changes tactics, looking to take the attack to Ojore with a more grappling-based offence. He hits a couple of quick combination moves, including an STO backbreaker into a reverse-swinging STO and also a double arm DDT that both score longer falls.

*Wood attempts a belly to belly suplex but Ojore blocks that and then sends Wood flying out across the ring with a belly to belly throw of his own. Wood stumbles up and walks straight into a Samoan Drop.

*Ojore begins to dominate proceedings, using his power to dominate Liam Wood. He connects with a couple of big power moves, including one massive gorilla press slam that is followed up with a vicious boot to the head.

*The new member of Robin Reborn's faction then looks to exact some punishment on Wood with a number of powerful punches that had been teed up with a Lou Thesz Press. Ojore is eventually forced to roll away and allow Wood to his feet.

*Ojore goes back on the attack as soon as allowed by the referee, applying an armbar before hitting a succession of clotheslines from that position, continually dragging Liam Wood back to a vertical base himself to hit the clotheslines. Ojore follows that up with a big running leg drop for the closest pinfall so far.

*After the kick out, Ojore launches Wood to the corner. He pummels away at Wood before stepping back to the corner and running in, Liam Wood counters with a flapjack and creating a window of opportunity.

*Liam Wood is shown still being tended to by medics at ringside as we get a glimpse of Robin Reborn watching on a monitor with a huge smile on his face. The commentary team debate whether Wood will be able to compete in next week’s quarter finals of the RTR tournament.

*Jimmy Phillips is interviewed by Fleur Michaels and he blows up after Fleur questions his “controversial” win over Dante Phoenix. Phillips says there’s no respect on his name but if he was one of these old time, cheque stealing, limelight hogging “legends” then she’d be fawning all over him and he’s sick of it. Fleur wants to know about Phillips’ new links with Miss Jessica but JP refuses to get drawn in. He says Jessica knows where “The Talent” is at and it’s good to know someone is finally paying attention to him. Phillips says if 6CW won’t give him his dues then maybe he’ll have to make this whole place wake up and acknowledge what he’s all about

*Marshall Murdoch is checking his watch as the interview with Christy James begins. Christy asks if he has an appointment but Murdoch is merely counting down the minutes that Charles Kramer has left to pay him what he deserves. Christy asks if Marshall has spoken to Clarke James but Murdoch says he hasn’t, that Clarke is a big boy and that not everything needs to become a story. If Clarke wants him he knows where he is but it seems he and Perfect Jack are tied up right now. Marshall talks about the main event and how it is a great opportunity to show the world and everyone else in the RTR that he’s the man to beat and nobody is going to get to that crown before him. Murdoch reiterates that he returned 6CW to be world champion and despite all the distractions, nothing will stop that from happening

*Crime Lord bursts into Miss Jessica’s office and he isn’t happy about Karl Kramer costing him the 6CW Championship last week. He says Miss Jessica knows what he’s capable of and he’ll start dissecting every single member of the roster unless his demands are met and she gives him another shot at Jackson Jackson. Jessica says she doesn’t bend to demands so easily but she understands that what happened last week was a grave error that should not be repeated. She offers Crime Lord a bye to the next round of the RTR and that he can earn his shot that way. Crime Lord isn’t overly impressed but accepts and says once he’s champion 6CW will be run correctly

*James McManus is shown making his way down to the ring, the commentators are discussing his recent downturn in form including his loss to Uryu last time out. Karl Kramer's music kicks in as he walks to the ring intensely.

*Kramer and McManus lock-up and Kramer gets the early advantage by forcing McManus into the corner. He pummels away at him with body shots and then scoops him over his shoulders, running out of the corner to hit a powerslam and then go for the first pin.

*After the kick out, Kramer tries to keep McManus grounded with a sleeper hold but McManus uses his technical wrestling prowess to escape the hold and then engineer a schoolboy roll up attempt. Kramer powers out and gets up, swinging wildly at McManus who ducks and scores a closer fall with another roll up attempt.

*McManus and Kramer get to their feet simultaneously, it's Kramer who again uses his power to force McManus backwards into the ropes. This time he keeps McManus pressed against the ropes while pummelling away at him with punches and chops. He then launches McManus across the ring with a big throw, following up with a running shoulder tackle. He covers.

*McManus kicks out. Kramer proceeds to dominate the next stages of the match-up with his power-based offence, scoring a succession of close pinfalls with a release suplex, a gutwrench powerbomb and a couple of big scoop slams which he follows up with a leaping splash.

*Kramer puts a side headlock on McManus to try and control the contest but again McManus uses his technical ability to escape, this time spinning out and connecting with a neckbreaker.

*After the kick out, McManus applies an armbar. He brings up Kramer and knocks him down with a clothesline. Kramer gets up and McManus hits a snap suplex, he then goes to the 2nd rope before hitting a knee to the face.

*McManus scores a couple more of close pinfalls, firstly with a short powerbomb he then follows that up with a backbreaker before hitting a knee trembler. Following that kick out, McManus goes up to the top rope going for a crossbody block...

*Charles Kramer enters Miss Jessica’s office after Karl Kramer’s match. Jessica questions CK allowing his nephew to go out there alone tonight but The Consultant waves her off and says he doesn’t need to be a babysitter. He once again taunts Jessica about Dante Phoenix and the information taken from Cherry Falls. Jessica fires back that she knows Kramer has nothing because he wouldn’t be able to keep it to himself if he did. CK promises he’ll expose her and her schemes but Jessica warns that he won’t like what he finds and that maybe he’ll disappear. CK asks if she means like Johnny Lawless but Jessica remains coy. Jessica tells Kramer to get out because he’s taken up enough of her time. CK once again promises that 6CW will not be controlled by Jessica for much longer and leaves.

Outside the office Kramer hears ticking, his face drops, and then he is grabbed by Marshall Murdoch and dragged down the hall into the bathroom, Marshall telling him that time is up. Murdoch jams a chair against the door, blocking it, and then he proceeds to flush Kramer’s head down the toilet and threatens to drown him, repeatedly holding his head under the water. Murdoch waits for Kramer to wire transfer 100k to his account on his mobile, whilst threatening a further assault. Kramer finally transfers the money and Marshall flushes his head again for good measure. Marshall laughs as he leaves the bathroom

*Uryu Ishida is backstage with Christy James. Uryu says he’s been in this business a long time so the threat posed by The Wolfpack is nothing new to him, he’s seen them all. He lists off The Dynasty, The Association, Genesis, versions one and two, as well as many others. But he does also admit that tonight’s attack on Liam Wood has shown that this new terror is willing to back up their words with actions. Uryu says he is sorry he couldn’t return the favour to Wood by saving him but that he sends his well wishes and promises to unite as a force if Wood chooses to against a common enemy. Christy ponders whether Uryu is wise to go out there alone, knowing Reborn won’t, but he insists that once you show weakness your enemies will devour your soul. He knows the dangers but he is the 6CW United Kingdom Champion and if he wants to be the King of 6CW, earning a future world title shot, then he must face all challenges head-on. Uryu says he can’t just let the bullies win, that is no way to live your life, and that tonight he will stand up for anyone and everyone who has ever been made to feel like they have nowhere to turn.

*Uryu enters the match alone whilst Reborn is accompanied by both Drake and Ojore. The commentary team re-cap on the earlier attack on Liam Wood as well as Clarke James saving Perfect Jack from an assault

*The match starts at a lightning pace as both men look to put on a show. Reborn nails a handspring spinning enzeguiri following an exchange and then release suplexes Ishida into a sit-down powerbomb for a two count

*Reborn goes up top but Uryu dropkicks his legs out from under him and then climbs up to deliver a huge superplex. He follows up with rolling thunder but Drake distracts the referee. Ojore drags Uryu from the ring and clatters him against the ringpost before throwing him back inside

*Reborn hits a helluva kick in the corner and then follows up with a running clothesline (ala The Miz). Uryu rolls out on his knees and Reborn hits a snap superkick to the face before twisting to the turnbuckle and hitting a split-legged moonsault for a two count

*Reborn stalks Ishida and attempts the “Worldstar” neckbreaker but Uryu grabs the ropes in time to put the block on. Reborn rolls back up and Ishida uses his momentum to flapjack him onto the turnbuckle before hitting an inverted DDT for a two count.

*Reborn staggers up in the corner and Uryu hits him with a running knee (ala CM Punk) before lapping the ring and returning with a monkey flip. He leaps up top for the “Split Second” but Ojore distracts the referee this time to allow Drake to climb on the apron and shove Ishida off onto the walkway with a bad landing

*Uryu struggles to recover on the outside and then Reborn runs the ropes and launches over the top with a senton takedown on the ramp. He throws Uryu back into the ring before nailing a springboard dropkick and then a solid roundhouse kick to the head as Ishida tries to get back up. Reborn goes up top again and looks for a shooting star press but Uryu throws his knees up in time to block

*Reborn is winded and Uryu superkicks him in the back of the head, sending him into the ropes, before leaping up and planting him with a sensational standing tornado DDT on the comeback for a two count. Ishida beckons Reborn up and nails a huge calf kick, swiping him to the deck, and then jumps up top again. Drake looks for the distraction but Uryu is prepared for it and he leaps to the outside with a crossbody takedown. He rolls back in and grabs Reborn’s arm before taking him down into the “Sunset” armbar

*Reborn is screaming out in pain and seems to be trying to give up but Ojore is up on the apron now. The referee is threatening to banish Ojore and Drake from ringside as Ishida releases the submission and then runs to the turnbuckle, using it to springboard across and dropkicks Ojore off the apron. Ojore and Drake rise together as Uryu runs the ropes and returns with a flying suicide dive to the outside that sends all three men toppling

*James McManus is in Miss Jessica’s office. McManus says he just wants to get home to see Jenny but Jessica says he’s slipping and that isn’t acceptable. McManus isn’t interested at first but Jessica shows him the bigger picture and what he can have if he listens to her proposal. McManus says first and foremost he wants revenge on the man who nearly killed his wife and Jessica is delighted, telling McManus that that is a great start. Jessica says if they scratch one another’s backs then McManus can have anything he likes. She says she knows McManus wants to be 6CW Champion and she can make that happen

*Jackson Jackson is interviewed by Christy James. Jackson admits it is strange not having a locked in challenge for Scars and Stripes and that there is a certain freedom to it but he also knows that every single member of the 6CW roster believes themselves a worthy challenger and in some ways that makes his position all the more precarious. Jackson says he doesn’t give who gets the green light to face him because he will continue to be a fighting champion. Robin Reborn, Ojore and Drake interrupt. Reborn admires the 6CW Championship and thanks Jackson for keeping it safe. Jackson mocks Reborn and his chances of getting his hands on the belt. Reborn looks affronted and says that once he wins the RTR there will be nowhere for Jackson to hide and no jokes to keep him safe. Ojore and Drake just glare at Jackson before the Wolfpack leave

*Karl Kramer is raging as his uncle is getting changed following the earlier assault by Marshall Murdoch. KK wants to exact revenge but Charles Kramer assures his nephew that his time will come but now is not it. CK wants to concentrate on the RTR and getting their hands on the 6CW Championship. He says King Kramer, the 6CW Champion, will be his finest achievement and will also benefit the whole Klan as they seize total control of the company. CK says 100k will be a drop in the ocean compared to the power they will hold soon enough. The Consultant talks about how losing one battle does not constitute a war and when the bloodshed is over it will be Marshall Murdoch begging for mercy.

*Marty Helms leaves his locker-room and is confronted by Dicey Reilly ahead of the main event. Dicey is glad that Helms heeded his advice with Miss Jessica but now he should be careful because she’s going to be coming after him with the wrath of hell. Helms tells Dicey to stick his advice and get the hell out of his face before he sends him back into retirement. Helms tells Dicey that his words last week has no bearing on what he said to Jessica and that nobody has or ever will control him. Dicey laughs and says “we’ll see” and Helms then gets right in his face. Helms challenges Dicey to a fight right there and then but Reilly says they’ll save it for the ring and promises to humble Helms the same way he has so many other upstarts over the years. Helms says Dicey has absolutely no idea what he is dealing with and that has never faced anyone like him. Helms promises Dicey that he may have been “born to fight” but if he chooses one with Helms then he’ll “die fighting” as well.

*Perfect Jack and Clarke James are backstage. PJ gives his old partner props for saving him but CJ brushes it off. Jack says it’s likely that The Wolfpack will come looking for some revenge and maybe a little backup wouldn’t go amiss. Clarke doesn’t want to get drawn on it but Jack wants him to think it over because he knows the temptation is still there. CJ is non-committal but tells Jack he’ll see him here next week. Jack jokes and tells CJ to bring his wrestling gear, Clarke smiles and leaves. Jack throws his towel over his shoulder and turns to face Jimmy Phillips. Phillips just glares at Jack and shakes his head before barging past him leaving PJ confused

*We get an announcement for the quarter-finals of the RTR for next week with Dicey Reilly vs Marty Helms, Robin Reborn vs Marshall Murdoch, Crime Lord vs Liam Wood and Karl Kramer vs Perfect Jack III. The announcement also explains that the Scars and Stripes PPV will now be a two day spectacular with the semi-finals of RTR on day one and the final on the second day

The big screen documents the action backstage as Marty Helms pushes through the curtain to pursue James McManus…

Helms: Where are you mother(beep)…….I’m gonna rip your AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

JR: Set him up….

McManus suddenly appears from behind Helms, hiding behind crates and production boxes, and he smashes a steel pipe into the back of Helms’ right knee, taking him down to the floor. Helms has no time to think about responding as McManus smashes the pipe down into the injured appendage five more times…

JT: A cowardly assault here by James McManus…

JR: Are you surprised? McManus blames Helms for what happened to his wife at Day of Reckoning…

JT: McManus should look in the mirror over that…..and I think there are other forces at work here…

HE: What do you mean?

JT: TAKE A DAMN LOOK!

Helms is clutching his knee, writhing and yelling in pain, as McManus spits down on him and then walks away to where a figure is waiting for him. Miss Jessica has the broadest grin on her face as she places an arm on McManus’ shoulder, cackling with delight as she surveys Helms’ misery…

JR: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…..Miss Jessica said Helms would pay for rejecting her…

JT: Marty Helms is finding out first hand that how vindictive the boss can be…

McManus and Jessica walk away from the scene as Helms tries to drag himself up but his knee gives way completely and he yells out in even more pain.
