6CWF Presents "Desert Storm" Results - 20th November 2023 (Episode 18)

*All the competitors make their way out as we get a shot of the contract hanging above the ring. Blue Dragon is inside the ring and he has a ladder and launches it over the ropes at Mike Hill and Dicey Reilly in the aisleway. Geoff Steel rolls in and almost spears Dragon out of his boots. Daniel Reilly takes his opportunity now and lays out Steel with an RKO. Oliver Keane passes him a ladder but Roth pushes it over and sends Reilly flying to the outside. Hill and Dicey are in now on the double team and they use two ladders to squash Roth. Hill sets his ladder in the corner and they deliver a double suplex, breaking the ladder with the force as Roth is driven into it.

*Roth is placed on a second ladder as Mike Hill nails a 450 splash from the top rope, crushing “The Reaper” and sending him to the outside. Dicey looks for a surprise “Craicdown” but Hill swipes his legs and catapults him over the top to the outside. Hill gets a new ladder and starts to climb but Dragon lashes a chair across his back. BD picks Hill off the ladder into a crucifix powerbomb on top of a ladder across the canvass.

*Two chairs are set up now and a ladder placed across them. BD attempts the “Deathnote” on Geoff Steel but he battles free. They end up on the top rope and Steel wows the crowd as he nails an “Attitude Adjustment” off the top rope and obliterates Dragon through the ladder platform. Steel almost has the contract in hand when Daniel Reilly uses another ladder to push himself through the air and drags Steel off the ladder into another breath-taking RKO.

*Reilly thinks he has the contract now but Dicey pulls him down and they begin to brawl. Dicey nails the “Craicdown” and heads for the top but Oliver Keane interferes. Dicey ends up smashing Keane into the corner and lifts him up top. Instead of superplexing him into the ring he suplexes him to the outside and through another ladder that has been set up between the ring apron and the ringside barrier.

*Tyler Roth is somehow up and is building deathtraps around ringside with tables/ladders and chairs (Oh my). Roth is in the ring and he bench presses Mike Hill before running the ropes and he throws him over to the outside and through two tables. Roth drags Geoff Steel up and he powerbombs him, three times, on a ladder before running him to the ropes and launches him over the top through another ladder which has been placed against the ringside barrier. Roth’s path to the top seems clear and his fingertips brush the contract before Scott Harris nails a German suplex from the top of the ladder which sends the crowd into a frenzy. Harris builds a stack of tables outside in the aisleway and then he somehow ushers Roth back up a ladder before nailing a “Shot in the Dark” (Olympic slam) from the ladder to the outside through the four tables. Tyler Roth’s race is most certainly run.

*Daniel Reilly is back up and he dodges a huge lariat from Blue Dragon and nails him with an RKO. He heads for the top but somehow Geoff Steel is there to thwart him and shoves the ladder over, crotching Reilly on the ropes. Steel then performs something incredible. He picks Reilly up in his arms as well as ladder. He climbs the turnbuckle and moonsaults off into a fall away slam that crushes Reilly and himself into the ladder upon landing and sends them both rolling from the ring.

*Dicey is back up and is making a play for the contract. The crowd are urging him on but Blue Dragon has the “Gauntlet” glove on and punches him in the spine before ripping him off the ladder into a modified “Deathnote” that slams Dicey down on top of another ladder. BD now drags in a barbed wire board and a table, placing the board on top of the table. He has evil intentions for Dicey but Mike Hill springboards back in with a flying “Van Daminator” that smashes a chair into BD’s face. Hill places the chair on top of BD and heads to the corner. He then decides he wants a ladder instead and comes off the top for the “Next Big Move” but BD moves and Hill lands in a bad way.

*Dragon thinks the contract is his now but Dicey pulls him down and they brawl before taking each other over the top rope to the outside. Dragon picks up the steel steps and launches them at Dicey but the Irishman ducks and sends them crashing against the ringpost. Dragon rushes forward but Dicey drags out “Betsie” from under the ring and slams it into Dragon’s gut. BD collapses next to the ringside barrier and Dicey runs at him for the “Hangover Cure” knee but Dragon moves and Dicey breaks the barrier and lays in a heap amongst the audience.

*Dragon looks around at the utter carnage and has a massive smile on his face. He heads for the ring and begins to climb but Mike Hill scuttles up the other side. Hill is higher than BD and he looks at him and the contract before deciding to leap over into a double foot stomp to the chest which drives himself and Dragon down and through the barbed wire board and table. Every single fan in the arena is on their feet. Dicey Reilly is hobbling as he gets back up but there is nobody to stop him as he rolls into the ring and scales the ladder before taking down the contract.

*The commentators remark on what we have just witnessed and the devastation that has been caused. We see Harris/Roth, Steel/Reilly as well as Oliver Keane and then Mike Hill and Blue Dragon. Dicey Reilly remains on the ladder and holds the contract up as the commentators remind us that the Irishman is now heading to Born in Fire XI to challenge for a world championship.

*We get a recap on the clash between Walker & Reborn from last week and Walker stepping up to the challenge for the insults directed at JJ Johnson. The commentators talk about the difference in experience of the two competitors but Cody’s few months in 6CWF have been admirable.

*Reborn has a “F*** JJ” t-shirt on as he swaggers to the ring. He clicks his tongue and looks at the fans with disgust before hopping up into the ring. The commentators talk about Reborn’s desire to headline “ReBorn in Fire” but that unless he wins tonight he can forget about any position of prestige at the historic event.

*Reborn tries to intimidate and talk down to Cody as we get started. He slaps the youngster in the face but then misses with a clothesline and eats a huge dropkick which sends him from the ring. Cody shows no fear as he runs the ropes and returns with a flying senton over the top to the outside. He drags Reborn back up and dumps in the ring. Walker springboards back in with a European uppercut for a two count.

*Cody drags Reborn up for a suplex but he floats over the back and lands a backheel kick to the gut as Walker turns. Reborn runs the ropes and he baseball slides through Cody’s legs before pulling them out from under him. Cody lands on his face as Reborn leaps up with a stomp to his back and then cartwheels off the ropes into a standing moonsault for a nearfall. Reborn slaps Cody’s head now and mocks him some more.

*Reborn heads for the corner and wants a “meteora” but is met in midair by a jumping heel kick. Reborn staggers in the corner as Walker nails him with a rolling monkey flip. Cody then sits on the ropes and he rolls out into a rolling thunder splash. The crowd are hyped as Cody climbs the ropes now and looks for the “Highwind” (Coffin Drop) but Reborn moves at the final moment. Reborn lifts Cody into a spinning lifted inverted DDT slam for a nearfall.

*Reborn stalks now and wants the “Worldstar” (Zigzag neckbreaker) but Cody succeeds in throwing him off. Reborn rolls back to his knees but eats a sickening low dropkick to the face. Cody signals to the crowd now as he leaps up to and this time he is successful with the “Highwind” (Coffin Drop) but somehow Reborn is able to kick out. Cody stalks now for the “Ultima Weapon” (One Winged Angel) but Reborn counters into a victory roll for two. They scramble up and Reborn rushes under a clothesline and handsprings into the ropes before taking his foe out with a flying back elbow. He nails a falling corkscrew moonsault (ala Christopher Daniels) off the ropes but Cody kicks out.

*Reborn heads out onto the apron and wants the “God’s Powerful Wrath” (Springboard forearm) but it is amazingly countered in midair into a hurricanrana with a pin for two. They scramble up and Reborn looks for a roundhouse but Cody ducks it and nails a slingblade off the ropes. He then springs off the ropes and nails a leg lariat (ala Matt Cardona) for a two. Reborn rolls near the corner and Cody runs in for an imploding 450 splash but eats knees upon landing. Reborn follows up with the “Worldstar” (Zigzag neckbreaker) for a near fall.

*Cody crawls up in the corner and Reborn nails him with a helluva kick before throwing him to the deck. He heads up top and launches himself into the shooting star press but Cody moves at the very last second. Reborn rolls out, looking to regain himself, as Cody handsprings across the ring and moonsaults over the ropes into a takedown as the crowd go nuts. Reborn uses the ringside barrier to clamber up as Cody leaps off the apron with a spinning legdrop (ala RVD). He throws Reborn back in the ring now and springboards into a corkscrew elbow drop for a nearfall.

*Cody beckons Reborn up and scoops him on his shoulders for the “Dolphin Blow” (Fireman’s lift into a pele kick) but Reborn scrambles and fights before countering into a poisonrana. They get up and Reborn nails a step-up enzeguiri which rocks Cody to his core and follows up with a “Lumbar check” (Fireman’s lift into double knees to the gut) for a two count. Reborn is heading up high again but Cody leaps through the air and dropkicks his legs out from under him.

*Cody climbs the turnbuckle now and scores with a tremendous top rope hurricanana. He runs the ropes and Reborn tries to counter with a tilt-a-whirl but eats a facebuster (ala Carmelo Hayes). Reborn staggers up and Cody hits him with a springboard knee strike and follows up with a kick to the gut and the “Catastrophe” (Styles Clash) for a very near two count.

*The commentators are once again waxing lyrical about Cody’s performance and the crowd are quite clearly behind him. Cody backs into the corner and he wills Reborn up before twisting out for the “Masamune” (Trouble in Paradise) but Reborn ducks at the final second and looks for a back suplex but Cody flips out the back and lands on his feet. Reborn turns and eats a spinning heel kick. Cody heads up top and he leaps off with the “Meteorain” (flying DDT) but Reborn just reaches the bottom rope.

*Cody curses his luck and then heads up top again. He leaps for the “Howling Moon” (Top rope Fame-a55er) but Reborn moves at the final second. Cody is hurt as Reborn drags him up into the “God’s Angel” (Wing Clipper). Reborn rolls out on the apron now and he waits for Walker to stumble up before almost decapitating him with the “God’s Powerful Wrath” (Flying forearm). Walker is ready to be pinned but Reborn drags him up again and nails the “God’s Last Gift” suplex for the three count.

*Reborn stands with his foot on Cody’s chest and basks in the boos of the audience. He looks ready to cause some more havoc as he rolls from the ring and returns with two chairs. Reborn, however, sets the chairs up and sits on one and puts his feet on the other. He points to the big screen now as it is revealed that Anthony Grace has tried to take his own life in a lowly motel room.

*Reborn smirks now as he beckons for a mic. He is going to keep this short and sweet but here is the crux. Maybe Grace pulls through, maybe he doesn’t. Reborn really hopes not because Grace disgusts him. He’s a repellent. Even dear old Charles popped off so he didn’t need to witness his negativity anymore. Grace is abhorrent as pro wrestler, a father, a film star, husband and a human being……but Reborn wants to make one thing clear. He tried. Like a rising superstar in the industry he offered an olive branch….like Russel Crowe to Oliver Reed….but the drunk, debauchered, self-centred waste of oxygen didn’t deserve to share his spotlight and just like everything else he pi55ed it away…

Reborn tells Grace that he better hope he snuffs it in the hospital, slips away like the weak and pathetic coward that he is….because if by some “Saving Grace” he makes it through, and by some miracle he makes it back to 6CWF….Reborn will give him the sweet release he so desperately desires and he will give 6CWF the ratings they are literally “dying for” by finishing Grace on live television. He is promising the most infamous ending of all time….one that will ensure that both their names live forever in a moment that will never be forgotten.

*There is an amazing procession and fanfare for the arrival of Jerome Dubois as we return to ringside. The commentators talk about Dubois’ affiliation to 6CW and his former reign as world champion. JT believes that Dubois is obsessed with being synonymous with 6CW and will do anything to make that happen here tonight. RJ reminds us that if Dubois is unsuccessful in winning the world title then he must sign a 6CWF contract or else be barred from competing for the company again.

*Uryu arrives and is treated like a hero. He is still looked bruised and less than 100% from the attacks by both GazzyD and Jerome Dubois in recent weeks but he looks in good spirits. He tags hands with the fans as he makes his way down to ringside and climbs up inside. There is a big staredown between champion and challenger.

*Dubois grabs at the world title and looks to parade with it but Uryu grabs his trunks and rolls him up for a very near two count. Dubois flies up and looks for a lariat but Uryu dodges it and springs off the ropes before flying back with an incredible tornado DDT for a two. Uryu looks for a buzzsaw kick but Dubois ducks and shoves him off the ropes. Dubois looks for a tilt-a-whirl on return but Uryu counters into a headscissors which sends the challenger from the ring.

*Uryu feints for a high flying attack but pulls back as Dubois ducks out the way. Uryu lands on the apron and runs across and flips off into a shooting star takedown as the audience cheer. Ishida pulls Dubois up and looks to throw him in the ring but the Frenchmen switches his feet and sends Uryu, ribs first, into the steel steps. He throws the champion back in now and almost takes him out of his boots with a “French Connection” spear for a two count.

*Dubois demands a faster count and argues with the ref. He heads for the top rope and leaps off with a missile dropkick for another close call. Dubois lands a “French” elbow and follows up with a legdrop for another two. He kneels over Uryu and lands solid punches until the referee forces a break. Dubois spits down at the champ and then drags him up. He positions him and lifts him for the “Go Flasher” but Uryu counters into a crucifix bomb for a two.

*They scramble up and Dubs lands a hard boot to the gut and whips Ishida off the ropes before felling him with a snap spinebuster. He signals to the audience, who boo furiously, and then drags Ishida to his feet. He flips him for the “Garlic Bomb” but Uryu once again counters into a “Code Red” sunset bomb for a two count. They scramble up and Uryu runs the ropes but returns into a huge diving lariat that almost takes his head off.

*Dubois grabs Uryu’s leg and turns him over into a single-legged Boston crab. The champion is clearly in a lot of discomfort but finds the ropes after a minute or so. Dubois releases and stomps on the back of the champion before pulling him back to the centre. He looks for a second submission but it is countered into a small package for a two. They scramble up and Uryu dodges a forearm before leaping in the air for a hurricanrana but Dubs catches him and nails a “Garlic Bomb” for a two.

*Dubois once again complains to the referee. He heads to the corner and signals for another spear but is countered into a drop toe hold. Uryu bounces off the ropes and returns with a stiff low dropkick to the face before he grabs Dubs’ arm and looks to apply the “Sunset” (Bridging Fujiwara armbar”. Dubois manages to fight free and whips Ishida off the ropes but the champ clings on. Dubois runs in but eats double feet to the face. Uryu spins and moonsaults into a takedown for a two.

*Uryu heads out onto the apron and looks for a springboard forearm but Dubois pulls the ref in the way and he takes the brunt. Dubois lands a blatant low blow and follows up with the “Culture Shock” but there is no official. Dubois signals for another referee and we have one almost immediately but Ishida kicks out, much to the delight of the audience.

*Dubois is unhappy as he beckons Uryu back up. He looks for the “Go Flasher” but Uryu lands out behind and staggers to the corner. Dubs rushes in but Ishida sidesteps. Uryu climbs out on the apron and catapults back in with an “X factor” facebuster for a two count. Uryu signals up high for the “Split Second” but Dubs is up and swipes his legs. Dubois climbs up now and looks for a superplex but Uryu amazingly counters into a falling poisonrana from high as the audience goes wild. Dubois staggers to a knee and eats a buzzsaw kick to the temple but the challenger somehow kicks out.

*More boos as Cassidy and Miss Jessica arrive on the scene. Uryu looks suspicious but tries to concentrate on the matter at hand. He ushers Dubois up and attempts to superkick him in the back of the head but Dubs ducks and nails the “Au Revoir” (Sit out slam) for another two. Dubois looks beside himself as Jessica tries to calm him. Dubois composes himself and heads for the corner but Uryu is up and nails a huge step up enzeguiri (ala Del Rio) which sits Dubois down on the top rope. Uryu climbs up now and scores with a huge “Spanish Fly”…..the three count looks imminent but Jessica blatantly places Dubois’ foot on the ropes.

*The referee orders Jessica from the ring and they are engaged in a massive argument. Jessica is stomping her foot and refusing to leave. This allows Cassidy to roll in the ring with the 6CW Championship. He is just ready to clatter Uryu with it when GazzyD appears and drags Cassidy from the ring. What the hell is going on? Gazzy launches Cassidy over the barrier and into the crowd. Gazzy and Uryu now stare at one another.

*Dubois is up now with a smirk on his face, behind Uryu’s back, and he is just about ready to attack the champion when Edward Plague seizes him and nails him with the “Omega Driver” (Purifier) as the audience watches on in shock. Plague rolls from the ring now and joins Gazzy. Uryu is completely out of kilter as he heads for the ropes and scores with the “Split Second” on Dubois. The referee turns around and completes the three count.

*The commentators and the crowd are at a complete loss at what we have just witnessed. Why would Gazzy & Plague help Uryu?. Jessica is shrieking from the rampway as Gazzy rolls into the ring now. Uryu looks up as Gazzy grabs the 6CW Championship. He looks at Uryu and then at the belt before pointing at the “Born in Fire XI” sign. He throws the belt down at Uryu and it seems we have a challenge made. Plague is singing “He’s got the whole world in his hands” as Gazzy rolls out to join him.

*We get a recap on the issues between Engel and Wood before Michael Bird starts the introductions. Engel’s music plays but he is nowhere to be seen as the cameras suddenly take us backstage and there is a brawl taking place as Wood is getting started early, just in the same vain as last week. He launches Engel, head-first, into a wall before clearing a load of equipment of a nearby table. Wood stomps at Engel before dragging him up into a vertical suplex and turns it into a front slam through the table. The referee arrives on the scene to start the count.

*Engel is crawling up by five as Wood spins a huge production case around. He runs it forward and looks to squash Harlequin against the wall but he dives out the way and leaves a huge dent in the wall. Engel drags up a trash can and swings it but Wood bats it away and kicks his foe in the gut. He flips Engel up and walks him over to a stack of chairs before dropping him in a modified “lungblower” across the steel. Wood demands another count and Engel stands on seven.

*Wood has a kendo stick now and he whacks it into Engel’s body before pressing it against his windpipe. Wood slams the other end of the stick into the wall and causes it to shatter against the throat of his opponent. Engel is coughing and wheezing on all fours as Wood deadlifts him into a gutwrench throw against the wall. Wood disappears and then drives back in with a forklift. He uses it to lift Engel up into the air before driving him outside. He drops Engel from around ten foot onto the roof of a limousine, Harlequin’s body bouncing with a horrific thud. Wood demands another count but Engel drops off and momentarily lands on his feet before collapsing again.

*Wood pulls Harlequin up and drags him back up on the limo roof. He prepares for the “Manson Driver” but Engel counters with a backdrop that sends Wood off the roof and smashing onto the concrete floor. Engel then shows blatant disregard for himself as he launches off into an elbow drop. He chuckles, despite the pain, but Wood is able to get up on the count of eight. Engel wastes no time in grabbing Wood and launches his head through the passenger’s side window. Wood falls back, bloodied, as Engel backs away and returns with a running cannonball splash that crushes Wood against the vehicle. The referee counts again and both men rise on seven.

*Engel signals for the “Big Top” on the concrete but Wood swipes his legs and causes the back of Harlequin’s head to smash off the concrete. He catapults Engel into the forklift and then chokeslams him on the concrete. Wood drags Engel over to the limo and traps his head inside the door before repeatedly smashing it. Engel slumps motionless.

*The referee’s count is at nine as somehow Engel staggers to his feet. Wood grabs him and runs him forward before launching him so hard at a door that it collapses on its hinges and sends Engel rolling back inside the building. Wood follows, kicking debris from his path, before he pulls another table out into the middle of the floor. He grabs Engel by the hair and drags him up but Harlequin responds with a brutal low blow. Engel then stuns everyone as he lifts Wood into a variation of the “Big Top” (Tiger Driver) which slams Wood through the table and causes him to land on his head/neck. Engel is laughing from a seated position as the referee starts to count.

*Somehow Wood is able to reach his feet on nine before dropping to his knees next to a wall. Engel shows no remorse as he runs in behind and lands a shining wizard to the back of the head, crushing Wood’s head against the wall. Engel disappears and returns with a ladder. Nobody can quite believe as he ascends it and leaps off for a huge splash on the concrete floor but Wood moves aside and sends him into a terrible landing. Both men are in a bad way as the referee counts them down.

*Engel is crawling away toward the ringside area as Wood rises up on eight. He follows Engel and grabs him by the scruff of the neck but Harlequin suddenly spins and smashes Wood in the jaw with a house brick. Wood’s whole face looks battered as he falls through the curtain and collapses on the stage in front of the 6CWF announce desk. Engel staggers through as the referee starts to count.

*Wood is somehow moving his body at eight so Engel shoves the referee aside and drops on top before landing brutal punches to the head. He then makes his way over to the announce desk and strips it. He pulls Wood over and dumps him on top. RJ and JT stand back as Engel climbs up. He drags Wood into position for the “Self Fulfilling Prophecy” (Sister Abigail) but Wood, from somewhere, lands furious elbows to the jaw. He stomps on Engel’s knee, dropping him down, and then leaps up with the “Psycho Crusher” foot stomp that destroys the table beneath them and leaves them in a broken mess on the stage.

*The commentators are calling for the match to be stopped but there is no let up. Wood is back on his feet and he staggers backstage before returning with a steel chair. He lashes it across Engel’s back and then sets it up. He places Engel’s head on the seat and prepares for another “Psycho Crusher” but Engel dodges it at the last minute. He then grabs Wood and drills him with the “Aversion Therapy” (Dirty Deeds DDT) on the seat of the chair.

*Engel believes he has won and almost looks surprised as Wood starts to jerk and move on the count of seven. He looks around and then smirks as he heads for the entrancerway structure and starts to climb. The audience are in shock as Harlequin continues to climb. Wood makes it back to his feet and he sees Engel above him. The referee tries to keep Wood down but he shrugs the official off and gives chase up the structure.

*There are horrifying scenes as both men reach the limit of the structure and find themselves over thirty foot in the air. They trade shots and bounce each other’s heads off the solid steel. Wood is a bloody mess and he sways badly but then kicks out and catches Engel in the ribs. Wood seems to be contemplating his next move but then throws caution to the wind as he pulls Harlequin off the structure in a modified Russian legsweep. They hurtle downwards and crash through stacks of tables and production equipment. There is utter shock and disbelief inside the arena.

*The referee drops down off the stage and he is already signalling for medical attention despite not finishing his count. There is absolutely no sign of movement from either competitor as the count reaches ten and we have a draw on our hands. The commentators talk about how Engel and Wood’s hatred for one another has taken this feud to the most dangerous of levels and how neither man will ever be the same after what we have just witnessed. JT believes Wood was willing to sacrifice his own health in order to ensure Engel was dealt with for good. RJ wonders if either man will even be able to return after what we have seen.

*Medics and stretchers arrive and both men are taken away in ambulances as the fans continue to watch on in shock at what has gone down. The commentators send both competitors well wishes before hyping up the rest of tonight’s card.

*Cassidy is out all alone after Miss Jessica’s outburst. Seems the pressure is truly on now for Cassidy to deliver a result for his mistress and restore some honour. The commentators talk about how Jessica’s great clients of the past such as Cassius Zhi and Lex Hart have never managed to put JJ Johnson away for good but this is Cassidy’s opportunity to make himself a household name overnight.

*The reception and ovation for JJ Johnson is deafening. The commentators believe this is JJ’s first match since Born in Fire IX against Mike Hill in 2018. RJ reckons JJ will need to blow off some serious cobwebs before his showdown with Clarke James. JT admits that whilst JJ looked great during his return brawl with CJ it’ll be completely different when he’s actually wrestling a match. JJ makes time with all the fans around ringside before clambering up inside the squared circle.

*JJ beckons for a lockup but Cassidy tricks him and lands with a boot to the stomach. He lands two right hands and a European uppercut to floor JJ as he mocks Johnson. He stomps on him and then drags him up and whips him off the ropes before lowering his head for a backdrop. JJ hurdles him and hits the opposite ropes but returns into a spinning sidewalk slam (ala Austin Theory). The crowd are shocked but the commentators talk about 5 years out of the ring for JJ.

*Cassidy continues to mock JJ and heads for the ropes. He lifts himself onto the second and jumps off with an overhang neckbreaker and follows up with a lionsault for a two count. He pulls Johnson up and suplexes him against the turnbuckle before lapping the ring and returning with a punt kick to the body. It is clear that everyone inside the arena is stunned by the domination from Cassidy up to this juncture.

*Cassidy pulls JJ up into a variation of the “Cross Rhodes” but JJ spins out and nails a jawbreaker into an overhead throw. He rocks Cassidy with a boxing combo and whips him off the ropes before lifting him into a snap release spinebuster (ala Ron Simmons) as he returns. The crowd are behind JJ now and he signals for the “VIP Experience” but Cassidy rakes the eyes and falls behind before nailing the “Idolatry” (Zigzag neckbreaker) for a two count.

*We see Miss Jessica looking gleeful backstage. Cassidy wants the “Sins of our father” spear now but runs into a tilt-a-whirl Samoan drop for a two. JJ is gaining in confidence and goes all in for the “Shooting star press” but eats knees on the comedown. Cassidy nails the spear now but Johnson kicks out. Cassidy confronts the official.

*Cassidy drags JJ up and lifts him for a fisherman’s DDT but JJ floats behind and lands a dragon suplex for a two count. JJ looks for the scissors kick off the ropes but Cassidy avoids and nails a clothesline which sends JJ over onto the apron. Cassidy quickly drags JJ back through into a “Heat Seeker” but Johnson kicks out.

*Cassidy signals for the “Purification” (Judas Effect) but JJ catches him arm and spins him around before lifting him into a fireman’s carry and spins him off into a side-slam. He follows up with “Emerald Fusion” but somehow Cassidy shows his worth and kicks out.

*JJ wants the “Access All Areas” (Stunner) but Cassidy counters with the “Cross Rhodes” for two. Cassidy signals for the “Divine Comedy” (Codebreaker) and lands it but JJ kicks out, much to the delight of the audience and Cassidy’s chagrin.

*Cassidy spits in frustration now and he screams at JJ to rise. He leaps into the “Heavenly Hosts” (RKO) but JJ pushes him away to the ropes. Cassidy comes back as Johnson lowers his head for a backdrop but it is countered with a facebuster (ala Triple H). JJ sways and eats the “Purificiation” (Judas Effect). Cassidy is sure he has the win but JJ finds the ropes at the final second.

*Cassidy is frothing at the mouth as he pulls JJ up. He holds him in place and then leaps for another RKO but JJ catches him in midair and drops him into a snap backbreaker. Cassidy holds his spine as JJ runs the ropes and returns with a scissors kick out of nowhere. The fans are all hyped now as JJ beckons Cassidy up and nails the “Access All Areas” (Stunner) before following up with the “VIP Experience” (Sit-down Tombstone) for the three count.

*The commentators applaud Cassidy’s effort but remark on how JJ Johnson only needs one opportunity. He had to withstand plenty of issues in this match but Cassidy presented one opening and JJ struck. JT wonders how Clarke James is feeling right now after watching that. JJ milks the crowd’s applause and works the audience. He owns the centre of the ring before the lights go out. They come back on and Johnson is ready for war but there is nobody there. JJ still looks highly suspicious but still nobody shows themselves.

*After Max’s elaborate entrance we get the full Genesis ceremony for the arrival of Eddy Kent. Kent is dressed in a bejewelled robe and looks supremely confident as he makes his way to ringside. The commentators go over the long standing history between these two men whilst deliberating on what has happened to Rex Adamson backstage.

*We get the introductions before the 6WF Champion is held high. Max and Kent go nose to nose and are then separated by the referee. They circle position and then lockup. Max shows his strength early as he pushes out of a side headlock and then bench presses Kent as he comes back off the ropes. He parades the world champion and then slams him down to the canvass, drawing a huge buzz from the audience.

*Max sets in the corner for the “Gore” but Kent rolls out the ring and shakes his head. Max rolls out the opposite side and sprints around but the world champion scouts and sidesteps, sending the challenger crashing into the steel steps. Kent drags Adamson up and nails the “Mic Check” on the concrete before returning to the ring. He demands the referee count and it looks like we are heading for an anticlimax.

*Max beats the count on nine as the crowd go wild. Kent is annoyed and looks for the “Genesis Kick” but it is avoided. Max looks for the “Cyclone” but Kent drops off back and nails an inverted headlock backbreaker into a neckbreaker for a two count. Kent looks for a piledriver now but Max drives him back into the corner and unloads with shoulder thrusts to the gut. He backs away and runs back in for a monkey flip. The flashbulbs go off as Max climbs high and goes all in for the shooting star headbutt but eats canvass as the champion moves. Kent nails a spiked DDT but Max kicks out.

*Kent looks to get Max on his shoulders for the rolling fireman’s slam but Max fights off and shoves Kent off the ropes before nailing him with a big time lariat. He beckons Kent up and lifts him into an electric chair position before dropping him into the turnbuckle, face first. He then grips the champion and nails a hat-trick of German suplexes, only for Kent to kick out once more.

*The commentators are hyping this historic event and believe something big is in the offing. Max signals for the “Gore” once again but it is countered in mid-connection with the “Kentlock”. It looks like Adamson has faded in the hold but somehow he reaches his leg out and finds the ropes at the final second. Kent looks annoyed as he sets up for the “Genesis Kick” but Max counters straight into the “Cyclone”. Max takes an age to cover, regaining himself after the submission, and Kent is just able to kick out.

*Max draws on the energy of the crowd as he pulls Kent back up. He sets for another “Cyclone” but Kent grabs the ropes and holds on for dear life. Max ends up throwing the champ over the ropes and he lands on the apron. Kent tries to regain his footing as Max runs the opposite side and returns with a “Gore” through the ropes that leaves them both in a battered heap outside the ring. Max drags Kent up on nine to avoid a count out and rolls him in. He covers but Kent finds the ropes to break the pin.

*Max sighs in dismay as the crowd try to gee him up. Michael Sweetwater is coming down the ramp now as the crowd boo. He is trying to scream instructions to Eddy Kent but Xanthi Rose leaps the barricade now. The crowd cheer as she clatters Sweetwater from behind. The referee jumps from the ring to separate as we see Kent has brass knucks. Adamson runs at him for the “Gore” but takes a brutal punch to the head that fells him. The referee returns to make the count but Max somehow kicks out.

*On the outside, Michael Sweetwater leaps out of a powerbomb attempt by Xanthi and then sidesteps her lunge and sends her flying over the remaining announce desks into a heap. Sweetwater shows his malice now as he drags her out and places her head on the steel steps. Sweetwater climbs onto the ringside barrier and is preparing for the “Six Feet Deep” (Flying foot stomp) when Marlon pulls his feet from under him and crotches him on the barrier.

*Eddy Kent is once again signalling the “Genesis Kick” but Max pulls the referee in front and the champ pauses. Max spins him into a “Rainmaker” lariat and follows up with the “FaMaxer” but Kent somehow kicks out. Marlon climbs over the barricade now and the crowd go wild as he and Xanthi deliver a double powerbomb that obliterates Sweetwater through one of the remaining tables.

*Max climbs the ropes now but Kent is up and lands a vicious forearm strike. He climbs on the ropes and delivers a rolling fireman’s carry from up high but Max kicks out. Kent yells at the ref and the commentators wonder if he is starting to experience some serious doubts. The champion heads up top and leaps off for the “Kent Bomb” but hits nothing but canvass. Max is hurting but charges into the “Gore”, only to wipe out the official instead.

*Kent scores with the “Genesis Kick” but there’s nobody to make the count. He rolls from the ring and grabs the world title. He rolls back in and prepares to strike Max with it but Marlon clambers in and rips it away from him. Marlon looks to strike Kent but he ducks it and Xanthi gets the brunt of the shot as she climbs onto the apron. Kent spins Marlon around and drills him with a “Mic Check” as the crowd go nuts.

*Rex Adamson is here. He is looking pi55ed and banged up after the attack backstage. Kent is just grabbing the belt again as Rex sprints into the ring for a “Gore” but it is Max who takes the full force. Kent is in disbelief and so is Rex. Was it meant? Or was he going for Kent? Kent bundles Rex over the ropes and then quickly nails another “Genesis Kick” on Max. The groggy referee makes the triumphant count.

*Kent’s yells of victory can be heard as the crowd continue to watch on in stunned disbelief at what has just transpired. The commentators cannot quite believe it either. Rex seemed to be gunning for Kent but it is hard to be 100% sure on the matter. Kent rolls from the ring and holds up the world championship up high. Rex is up now and he locks eyes with Eddy Kent. Kent has a dark smirk on his face as he backs into the aisleway.

*Rex rolls in the ring now as Max is trying to get up. Uncle Max is clutching his ribs and looks up at Rex, his expression hard to read. It seems like Rex is trying to explain something. Max is glaring back at him. The commentators wonder if the two men are about to come to blows.

*Suddenly many hooded figures begin to appear in the crowd. At every angle, every section of the stadium. They show up in the rafters before we see several cameraman have been replaced by hooded figures. Rex and Max eye each other and then turn as more and more figures appear. JJ Johnson suddenly comes rushing out onto the stage as cheers fill the air. JJ is ready for a fight and it appears that he senses Clarke James is about to make his move.

*As JJ reaches the top of the ramp, another line of cloaked figures move out behind him and block the entranceway. He spins all around now, anticipating the attack before the big screen comes to life.

“Please, Uncle Clarke….just one more story….it’s been so long since we heard one”

*JJ’s face is a picture of horror at what he sees unfolding in front of him

CJ: OK, just one more….but you can’t tell your mum or dad, ok?....this one might give you nightmares….

???: It’s ok, we can handle it….we promise not to tell…

*Clarke James smirks and slips on the Scarecrow mask whilst JJ Johnson’s son and daughter sit up in their beds.
