The LEGACY Tour logo shows up on a black screen and it fades out as "Awake" by Godsmack starts to play, and clips from last week's show fade in and out. First we see a shot of Gryffin Anselm picking up a win in the three-way match, and then a brief clip from him announcing the beginning of the "No Limits" Division. Creed getting another World Television Title victory is shown next, followed by a clip of the encounter between Moxley, Jen X, and Dan Stein. We then see Jake Dominion looking arrogant backstage as he talks to Andrew Kelley, which is immediately followed by a shot of Moxley celebrating his victory and Jake Dominion looking extremely pissed off inside the ring.

The clip from last week's backstage encounter between Marcus Marion and John Thomas is up next, which is then followed by a quick clip of Chris Turner battling doctors and orderlies backstage. Various black and white photos then fade in and out from the match between Chris Turner and Stephen Rawlings, ending with Rawlings getting his cousin to pass out to the rear naked choke submission. After a moment of darkness, we then see the footage of Katsuro Yoshida taking out Stephen Rawlings and holding him in his deadly submission hold, Shinya Nori standing over him.

We then see the full footage of Greyson Blade leaving his locker room for last week's main event, finding Gryffin Anselm laid out in the middle of the hallway and Conor McLellan standing over him with a dented chair in his hand. The clips that follow are from the match itself, ending with a clip of Dan Stein hitting an enzuigiri and picking up the win.

The show opens on a shot of Mark Perletta and Joey C sitting behind a desk that resembles what you would see anchors sit behind in the studio of a sports news program such as Sports Center, though this week the table is a bit longer than normal. Behind them is an elaborate backdrop which includes the yellow golden LEGACY logo, and between them is an empty chair.

Mark Perletta: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to another stop on the LEGACY tour, as always I'm Mark Perletta...

Joey C: I'm his esteemed broadcast partner of over two years, Joey C...

Mark Perletta: And tonight... tonight marks something of the end of an era. For over two years Joey C and I have done a two-man broadcast together, and tonight, that all changes. When Joey and I showed up at the arena tonight, we were notified that, at the recommendation of the "Image and Branding Consultants", the broadcast team is going under an expansion... and that explains the empty chair sitting between us tonight. Joining Joey and I tonight, at the recommendation of the Image and Branding Consultants, is a man by the name of Landon Savage.

The camera view switches over to a view of the edge of the studio where a man in his late thirties, wearing a red and black pin-striped suit and a red collared shirt unbuttoned at the top two buttons, walks onto the set and sits down right between Joey C and Mark Perletta, neither of whom looks happy to see him, but from the look on his face, you can tell that Savage doesn't care what they think. Actually, he looks amused.

Landon Savage: Thank you for that... luke-warm reception. I know neither one of you is happy to have me here. I've broken up your little family, messed up your FLOW. Sooner or later, you'll get over it, and if you don't, I've heard from VERY reliable sources that this won't be the only change made to this announce and recap "crew"... but don't get any ideas, because I got it well stated in my contract that I'm not going ANYWHERE.

Mark Perletta: I think a lot of people out there can understand a bit of our disappointment in the front office taking the recommendation to expand our announce team. Nothing personal, Landon, it'll just take some getting used to.

Landon Savage: And whose problem is that? Not mine, so I tell you what, I'll come out here each week and give the same great quality that I've given for years in different aspects of this business in other organizations, including announcing, and you two try to at least maintain whatever quality levels you used to provide... since I can't expect the two of you to live up to my standards of quality, but in time... we'll see what we can do about that.

Joey C: Yeah... we'll see.

Mark Perletta: Tonight's show has four matches on it, two of them championship matches, the other two which should have significance in regards to the World Title.

Landon Savage: And since this is a recap show, we've already witnessed what has taken place, and I can tell you that there's another big impact that the Image and Branding Consultants have on our organization tonight.

Joey C: They definitely do but I'm sorry to say that it's not a new name for our weekly show, nor is it a new ring announcer.

Mark Perletta: Are these guys incompitant? I mean how long is it going to be before the front office realizes that two major parts of this show are missing and those guys aren't really doing anything about it?

Landon Savage: Look, don't go wasting a lot of time focussing on what they haven't done yet. Those guys are putting a lot of time and effort into making LEGACY the best organization it can be. A new show name, a new ring announcer, that stuff will come. For now you should be looking at the big improvements they've already made... like bringing me in to help fix this announce team.

Mark Perletta: How about we just move right along to the first of our segments, shall we?

Landon Savage: Yeah, and how about we don't give each of the segments an intro this week, how about that? We don't need to be constantly reminding people that we're doing a recap show instead of being able to bring them everything. Damn FX Network not giving us enough time for our shows...

A 2000 silver Subaru Legacy pulls into the arena. A handful of news reporters and camera crews are standing by, and they begin to surround the vehicle as it pulls into a VIP parking spot. The crowd can be heard cheering from within the arena as DJ Cassidy, Herb Moxley, and Jen X come out of the car. Each of them seems a bit caught off guard, but they quickly move past the reporters.

Reporter 1: How about a few words about your match tonight?

Reporter 2: Do you two feel justifiably entitled to another rematch?

Reporter 1: Come on guys, just a quick comment.

DJ Cassidy: Sorry fellas, we need to focus tonight – look us up after the main event.

Herb holds the door open for Jen and DJ gives a quick wave to the cameras before heading in. A few of the reporters try to follow the Nerds but they are cut off immediately by LEGACY security.

Security Guard: LEGACY journalists only allowed backstage folks.

We see Jen X and the Nerds heading backstage in a determined fashion. Andrew Kelley suddenly steps into view.

Andrew Kelley: LEGACY only hmm? That sounds like my cue…

He smiles.

Andrew Kelley: I love this job.

An opportunistic look in his eye, Andrew walks off to start working on pre-interview preparations.

Eric Wolfson walks down the hallway backstage with a bottle of spring water in his right hand. Dressed in his street clothes, he points his index finger and winks at two of the young women who are auditioning this week to be the new ring announcers. He seems to be in high spirits tonight as he knocks three times before entering the door in front of him.

Eric Wolfson: Nick, my dogg. How the hell are ya, TV Champ?

Creed glances to the side as he slowly lowers himself from the bar he was using to perform some pull-ups. He takes a deep breath and shakes his head.

Nicholas Creed: Great, man. Great.

Wolfson laughs as he observes the large man standing before him, fully draped in his warrior gear.

Eric Wolfson: Ah, how it brings a tear to my eye looking at you. It was barely a year ago when you were just another cat trying to make a name for himself back in Florida. Now look at you. A fucking MONSTER, Nick. The LEGACY World Television Champ! You’re a bad, bad man, dogg.

Wolfson slaps Creed across the back of the shoulder before tossing him a towel. Creed catches it in mid-air and uses it to wipe the sweat from his face.

Nicholas Creed: Right… Why do I get the feeling you’re not exactly here to shower me with compliments? Yeah, that’s right, I know you, E. I know that look in your eyes. What do you want?

Wolfson, now seated on the bench a few feet away, puts his hands out to his sides and drops his jaw. After a few seconds, he smiles again.

Eric Wolfson: Yeah, yeah, alright. Look, man, I see a perfect opportunity for you tonight. You’re about to go out there and defend that TV Title against this Diego De Cardenas cat. Some Sky High dude, I don’t even know why he’s getting a shot at your title… But anyway, the way I see it is you have a perfect opportunity here to remind everyone around here why you command the respect you do. Remind them why the mere mention of the name… SIN… makes people piss themselves.

Creed takes a swig of water from the fountain in front of him, swishes it around in his mouth and then spits it into the sink. He looks back at Wolfson waiting for him to finish.

Nicholas Creed: What, beating him isn’t enough?

Wolfson shakes his head with purpose.

Eric Wolfson: Nope. It’s been too long since you’ve made a statement. It’s not enough in this business to scare people, Nick. Sure, that works for a while but people are stupid. They tend to forget. You gotta keep people scared. And that means going out to that ring tonight and putting this Cardenas loser through it. I think you get my drift.

Creed looks away for a moment to ponder the words that were just spoken to him. When his attention turns back to Wolfson again, a slight smile plays on his face.

Nicholas Creed: You know, maybe you’re right. Is it my fault that Smith Cartwright or whoever the fuck it is that makes the matches around here booked him against me? Is it my fault that he’s stupid enough to climb into the ring with me at all? You know what? I think I will make a little statement tonight.

Wolfson grins ear to ear and stands up. He slaps Creed on the shoulder again, this time getting a bit of anger in response, in terms of the looks on Creed’s face.

Eric Wolfson: Hey, keep it out in the ring, you big mother fucker. Remember, show them why they call you SIN. Make this dude BEG you to pin him, know what I mean?

Wolfson shakes Creed’s hand and makes his way out of the locker room. Creed shakes his head for a moment before grabbing the TV Title from the hook it was hanging from and heading out the door as well.

A silver Mercedes drives in through one of the open Arena-sized garage doors and parks next to the loading area. The two front doors open as does the back door on the passenger side and three men dressed in suits exit the vehicle - Douglas from the driver's side, Dominic from the passenger's side, and Wellington, carrying a velvet bag, gets out of the backseat.

Wellington: This... this is going to put our popularity rating over the top.

Douglas: Don't get too ahead of yourself, this isn't about our popularity, this is about what's best for business.

Dominic: It doesn't matter what these Toronto-ian fans think of us or how they react to tonight's change in branding, it only matters that what we're doing is right for the business in the long run.

Douglas: And this change... it IS what's right for this organization, and it WILL increase ratings, not to mention it'll be a big selling point for recruiting new talent to the roster.

Wellington: I just hope the big guy doesn't cause any trouble. I mean there ARE three of us...

Wellington gets a smirk on his face as he imagines the three of them taking on... His dream is cut short as he's snapped back to reality.

Dominic: Whoa, don't get dellusional, Well', we're not fighting anyone. This is a Gucci suit, I'm not trying to get this thing ripped.

Douglas: We could expense it if someone else makes the first move, but to be honest, guys, I'm 58, I'm not trying to get into a fight with anyone.

Dominic: Hey, I'm 32 and I'm not trying to get any of these guys mad at me. Well', just because you're in your mid-20's and asian, don't be thinking that any martial arts training your parents gave you growing up is going to do anything against anybody on this roster. Remember that time the guy at DC Coast bumped into you and caused you to spill your Apple Martini on your new white Kenneth Cole tie?

Wellington looks disappointed that Dominic brought that up.

Wellington: I'm just saying that I hope there's no trouble, but if there were trouble, you don't think the three of us would be able to defend ourselves against...

Douglas and Dominic: NO!!!

The three men continue to talk as they walk down the hall, and the scene switches over to a shot of the empty ring inside the arena, where the fans are waiting for the first match which is about ready to begin.

Mark Perletta: Coming down to the ring for this match, there was a determined look in the eyes of Nicholas Creed, a look no doubt inspired by the pre-match words of his mentor Eric Wolfson.

Joey C: When I saw that look in his eyes I knew there was a potential for something bad to happen, and I wondered how Diego de Cardenas was going to attempt to keep himself out of harm's way while trying to win this match.

Landon Savage: Well early on Diego was able to use his speed and agility to take shots at Nicholas Creed and get out of his way before he could retaliate.

Mark Perletta: I talked to Diego de Cardenas backstage before Rise of the Elite 3 back on June 4th and he told me that although he's good at doing the high-risk, high-flying maneuvers like the other luchadors from his home country of Mexico, that he wanted to earn his reputation on being a talented mat wrestler with the likes of Dean Malenko.

Landon Savage: A BAD move on Diego's part for more than one reason. First, what kind of real success did Dean Malenko really have? Seriously, the guy is well respected, but as far as championships are concerned, which are the only REAL measure of accomplishment, Dean Malenko got a few tag team titles, a couple of reigns with the Cruiserweight belt back in WCW, but that's about it. And other guys who wrestle LIKE Dean Malenko, guys like Chavo Guerrero, they never had any real success either. Chavo Guerrero is making positive steps more recently by tryng to imitate some of the things that Eddie Guerrero would do in the ring.

Joey C: Diego just needs to realize that this isn't Mexico anymore. People around here don't care about respect. Who cares if he had a great career in Mexico or in Europe. He's in the United States, now, and here gold stands for respect. I've seen some tapes of this guy, when he wants to fly around he's capable of doing so just like guys like Rey Mysterio. He needs to capitalize on that.

Mark Perletta: Well when Diego de Cardenas started to have some success against Nicholas Creed he switched over to that more grounded approach and it definitely cost him. As he tried to go for a snap suplex on Creed after doubling him over, Creed blocked the attempt and started sending repeated knees to Cardenas' face, going for the move he calls "Crimson Bullets", though Diego was able to shove away from the move before his nose started bleeding.

Joey C: It was almost all Creed from then on out, with Creed levelling his opponent with a huge short clothesline that started the offensive which lasted nearly the entire remainder of the match.

Mark Perletta: Late in the match, Diego did attempt to make a comeback, hitting a springboard dropkick reversal from an irish whip that put Creed back down onto the mat, which he followed up with a springboard elbow drop.

Start : Footage from the Match

Taking him by the arm, Creed sends his opponent across the ring with an irish whip, but Diego rebounds off the ropes and drops Creed with a dropkick to the knee. He gets back up, sends himself into the ropes and when Cardenas runs in and goes for a flying face-smash bulldog, Creed catches him in mid-air, spins around, flips Diego up and over his shoulder and then BURIES him into the mat with a powerbomb reversal.

Landon Savage: Absolutely amazing job there by Nicholas Creed, dropping that Mexican loser right on the back of his neck!

Mark Perletta: Diego de Cardenas driven down amazingly hard into the mat, and I'm not sure if he's going to be able to get up after that.

Picking up a rather lifeless Diego de Cardenas, Creed sets him up on his feet and then lets go of him and Diego nearly slumps back down to the mat, barely able to stand. Grabbing him by one arm, Creed spins Diego around. Now behind him, Nicholas Creed locks Diego de Cardenas into a full nelson lock and he lifts him way up off of his feet, wrenching it in, shaking him from one side to another, back and forth. As he continues to hold him up there, the booing in the crowd continually gets louder and louder.

Mark Perletta: Nicholas Creed locking in that full nelson, and that's usually the start to the REIGN OF SIN... but he's not finishing the move! What's he doing?!

Landon Savage: He's giving Diego de Cardenas a title match he'll NEVER forget!

Still holding Diego up off of his feet in the full nelson, the fans booing of Nicholas Creed is near deafening... and after cracking a grin on his face and holding Cardenas up there another three seconds, Creed pivots... spins Diego around...

URINAGE SLAM...

REIGN OF SIN!!!

Creed hooks the leg...

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Winner by PINFALL and STILL World Television Champion :
Nicholas Creed

Mark Perletta: Nicholas Creed with another successful title defense, a little overboard, could've had the submission

Joey C: You know what? Who cares what he did to Diego de Cardenas. That guy didn't look like he came to the ring very prepared this week anyway, and if that's what kind of a challenger he's going to be when he comes to fight Nicholas Creed, then who cares about him?

Mark Perletta: Well before Nicholas Creed could leave the ring and head back to the locker room, he was met with something of a surprise, one that most people won't forget any time soon.

As Creed stands in the ring looking down at Diego de Cardenas, he doesn't even notice as Dominic, Wellington, and Douglas walk down the isle. After Nicholas has his hand raised in victory, he looks around to see if someone brough the World Television Title to him, and when he realizes that no one brought it over from the ring announcer's table, he walks over towards the corner of the ring closest to the time keeper, and that's when he first notices the Image and Branding Consultants. Confused as to why they might be out there, Creed just stops and watches as they walk right over and take the World Television Title from the ring attendant, and Wellington asks for a microphone.

Wellington: Hello everyone, how's it going? You're all probably wondering what we're doing out here. Nicholas, I'm sure you're curious as to why my colleague, Dominic, is currently holding the World Television Title. This old thing? You don't need it anymore, so unless you were thinking of taking it home, putting it on a shelf somewhere as a reminder of the title you USED to have, we were thinking of disassembling it, taking off the face-plates, and melting it down.

Creed's eyes go huge and he starts to exit the ring, but the other two consultants see what's going on and they step in front of Creed, trying to get him to calm down and remain in the ring. Douglas reaches back and asks Wellington for the microphone.

Douglas: Hold on, hold on, there's a bit of a misunderstanding here. No one is trying to take a championship away from Nicholas Creed. No one's trying to say you're NOT a champion, big fella. What we're doing is continuing to help re-brand LEGACY into its own entity, leaving what's past in the past. Everyone saw how we changed not only the name of Gryffin Anselm's title by renaming the National Title into the No Limits Title, and now we're moving on to the World Television Title.

Creed steps back, willing to hear them out. Dominic, who has a velvet bag in one hand, has taken a microphone from the temporary time-keeper, and he steps up next to Douglas.

Dominic: In the history of wrestling, the World Television Title has a significant part. World Championship Wrestling took the concept of a fighting champion and created a title around it. ECW saw that their World Title was meaning less and less and they relied upon their Television Title to basically define their brand. The problem is that when people think of a Television Title, they think of a doormat, they think of the lowest championship in a given organization... and if the Television Title has any significance at all, if it's worth a damn thing, then the other belts probably don't.

Dominic shrugs his shoulders.

Dominic: Hey, I'm not the one who came up with the concept, we did market research. We talked to people. We did a LOT of surveys, and that's how the public feels. It's just a fact. People can try and try to make the World Television Title something great, but as it stands, the very nature of a World Television Title, it brings whole organizations down if it's not deemed completely worthless. People never take them seriously, and if they do, then that belt ends up over-shadowing everything else... and with the No Limit Championship that Gryffin Anselm is holding, there's no way that belt was going to be over-shadowed by a TELEVISION TITLE.

Dominic shakes his head furiously "no".

Douglas: That's why the World Television Title was OBVIOUSLY in need of some re-branding. As strong of a champion as Nicholas Creed is and has the potential to continue being, we wanted to make this belt something that embodies everything he is as a champion.

Wellington, who now has a microphone, steps up next to Douglas.

Wellington: In case you all aren't as hip to current culture as we are, in case you don't know the latest crazes that the public at large just can't get enough of, let me tell you about something that played a significant role in the new name for the title formerly known as the World Television Title. Chinese culture. People simply CAN'T get enough of it. How many interior designers are making great livings every year showing people how to conform to Fung Shui principles? Tons of them. Tons. Despite what the Catholic Church wants you to believe, Christianity isn't the fastest growing religion in the world, Buddhism is! It's undoubtedly the coolest religion with the sweetest mascot ever! In short, people can't get enough of asian culture, so we decided to give the people what they want.

Douglas: Tao. It's a word that in Chinese means "The Way". A religion, almost, but more than that. Most people treat religion as something that affects a person's life on Saturdays or Sundays and at random holidays during the year. Taoism isn't just a religion, it's a way of life, a mantra that is used to determine how people live on a daily basis. With that in mind, we watched a lot of tapes, did a lot of interviews, trying to determine the common bond that all champions share, the mantra by which all people who hold this belt would live by.

Dominic: Wanting to keep this as a belt which gets defended on a very regular basis, we kept that in mind in doing our interviews, and we came up with that mantra. We came up with that common bond that linked all the men who have held this belt in this organization and which should continue to be shared in the future.

Douglas: Bravery. To defend a championship on a regular basis the way guys like Nicholas Creed have done, it takes an attribute that we feel is best described by one word, and so now we are pleased to present to Nicholas Creed...

A championship belt is pulled out of the velvet bag and Wellington holds the belt above his head.

Douglas: with the Tao of Valor Championship.

Nicholas Creed reaches over the top rope and Wellington hands the belt to him. Creed pulls the belt in close and examines the faceplate before putting it over his shoulder.

Dominic: Along with the new belt and the new name, your championship reign also comes along with new stipulations as well. No longer will you have to defend the belt every week, but it would be a good idea to defend it as often as possible.

The consultants start walking around the ring towards the entrance ramp.

Wellington: As you will see on that belt, there are four symbols. One says "30", one "TKO", one "TAP", and one "X". They each represent a different match stipulation. "30" stands for a thirty minute Iron Man match. "TKO" stands for a Last Man Standing match. "TAP" signifies a Submissions Only match, and "X"... that stands for an Ultimate X match, a stipulation made famous by NWA TNA.

When the consultants get to the ramp, they start walking backwards up it.

Douglas: For anyone who needs more information on any of those standards, the new website that the LEGACY creative team is working on finalizing will have that information available on the site, and Creed, if you or anyone else on the roster needs more information before the website is updated, we are informing the road agents. The important thing you will need to know about those stipulations is that once a champion successfully defends the belt in four matches, each under one of those four stipulations, all under a single title reign, that person will earn themself a shot at the LEGACY World Title.

There's a buzz amongst the crowd when they hear what the Tao of Valor champion can earn himself.

Dominic: Now those four special matches can't be one after another. To earn each special match, a Tao of Valor Champion must win a regular title defense. Win a regular match, get a special match. Still have the belt? Win another regular match, get another special match. So on and so forth. It may seem confusing now, but in time and with some special features added to the LEGACY website, it won't be all that confusing.

Now at the top of the ramp, they stop there and look out over the crowd.

Wellington: As you fans enjoy all the excitement that the Tao of Valor Championship brings, you just remember that this was OUR idea, and although the polls may currently show that you don't like us, you're at least going to appreciate the fruits of our recommendations.

Wellington gets a huge grin on his face and the three consultants head backstage and the camera switches back over to a shot of Creed who has the belt over his shoulder, and Creed looks extremely pleased with the current situation as he exits the ring, the camera then switching over to the broadcast position.

Mark Perletta: Well I guess we know what the Consultants were carrying with them when they showed up earlier tonight, and we also know who they were referring to, apparently not wanting to make Nicholas Creed mad.

Joey C: Makes a lot of damn sense to me. You saw what he did to Diego de Cardenas, imagine what he would've done to Wellington.... what IS Wellington's last name, anyway?

Landon Savage: Who knows, who cares. The big point here is that LEGACY has a new championship division. I think they're right, this IS going to be a brand differentiator that is going to help a LOT with recruiting.

Mark Perletta: It certainly won't hurt, and... Well it looks like we’re going backstage…

Joey C: Yeah! There’s my boy! Look at the smile on Creed’s face, Marky! He’s beaming!

Mark Perletta: Oh, yeah, I’m sure he’s real proud of himself after that display.

Joey C: Hey, Diego got into the ring with Creed, didn’t he? He didn’t have to. And it’s like Creed says, you get into the ring with him ad things happen. I love it!

Landon Savage: He seems especially proud of the new championship belt he's got over his shoulder, now that he's more the lead of a division than the person guarding the welcoming mat.

Creed looks off to his right and smiles at one of the production guys, almost laughing. He just shifts the Tao of Valor Championship over his shoulder and continues on his way down the corridor. A few feet down the hall, he glances over to the other side and comes eye to eye with Declan O’Leary who is simply staring right back at him.

Mark Perletta: Look at the look on O’Leary’s face. He’s just looking hard at Creed in disgust.

Creed keeps his eyes locked on O’Leary’s, clearly surprised that the man leaning against the wall is staring so hard at him. He slows to a stop and faces O’Leary.

Nicholas Creed: What’s up? You got an eye problem or something?

O'Leary chuckles mirthlessly. He folds his arms and plants one foot against the wall for support. He looks away as he laughs, then goes straight back to Creed's eyes.

Declan O'Leary: O' course... that must be it... I've got somethin' in my eye. Jaysis, lad, ye're dumber than ye look - I think it's pretty obvious I think ye're a feckin' disgrace.

Creed’s jaw drops a little, as such disrespect directed at him has come completely out of left field. In his mind, anyway.

Nicholas Creed: You saying I’m a disgrace? And just who the fuck are you?

O'Leary sighs, drops his arms to his sides and steps out from the wall. He's nearly a head shorter than Creed, but advances slowly, ignoring only a little that this man is twice his size.

Declan O'Leary: I might just ask ye the same question, Creed.

Declan points to the belt.

Declan O'Leary: Big bad champion, are ye? So big an' bad ye have to take out a scrawny little feck like Diego De Cardenas to retain yer title?

Creed looks down at the belt, then back up at Declan. He smirks.

Nicholas Creed: Ah, I get it now. You want a shot at my belt. That’s why you’re standing there all hard, looking at me like that. It’s not about that punk kid out there in the ring. Well let me tell ya something, chief. You want a shot at my belt, you earn it. Go win some matches, then come back and see me.

Creed turns his back to leave and Declan laughs, loudly, and mockingly.

Declan O'Leary: Oh ho ho HO... I see how ye work, there, Nicky... ye'll be happy to eat the newbies fer breakfast, but if a smaller man shows jest a bit o' fire an' might possibly be able to back it up, then ye'll have them 'earn' their shot... tell ye what, Creed: it doesn't even have to be fer the feckin' title - I'll still whip yer arse around that ring three different ways before I'm through with ye.

Creed stops in his tracks turns around again.

Nicholas Creed: That so?

He takes a few steps closer to O’Leary until he’s just a foot or two from him.

Nicholas Creed: Well guess what… You STILL aren’t worth my time. I’m the Tao of Valor Champion, which means that I have no time for the lower ranks of LEGACY such as yourself. But who knows, maybe you’ll piss the front office off enough to have them feed you to me in the ring. Then, dude, then we’ll see who whips who around that ring.

Declan O'Leary: Fine, then... dodge me like the little bitch ye are - dodge me the way ye dodged havin' a REAL title defense last week... jest remember, we're in the same organization - we're bound to meet sometime. An' when that happens, arsehole... things won't be so easy. Besides, I've got a few other things to take care of right now anyway.

Creed nods his head a few times, a smirk on his face as he walks past Declan and disappears down the hallway, the view switching back to the broadcast position and our three announcers.

Mark Perletta: His first show here in LEGACY and already Declan O'Leary is making waves.

Landon Savage: I'm sure a lot of people heard the jaw-jacking this week, Nicholas Creed isn't the only one who Declan has butted heads with since signing on to be a part of this organization, but look at the size difference there... O'Leary would be better suited to forgetting about the Tao of Valor Champion and keeping his sights set on Conor McLellan.

Joey C: Depending on how much ring-rust Declan has, he's going to have his hands full with his former Celtic Saints tag team partner, who has been making a name for himself here in LEGACY while Declan has been sitting at home, or in a bar somewhere, resting up and healing some old wounds.

Mark Perletta: Speaking of healing up some old wounds, Marcus Marion makes his return to in-ring competition tonight, his first match back after losing the World Title at Rise of the Elite 3, and his opponent is John Thomas. That match up is next.

Landon Savage: Both of these men have a lot to prove with this match, and when that's the case, fireworks usually fly, so I was real interested to see what was going to go down, and I wasn't disappointed.

Mark Perletta: After the encounter between these two on last week's show and their exchange of words this week, no one expected these two to shake hands when they met in the ring, and they certainly didn't.

Joey C: Absolutely not, as soon as the opening bell rang John Thomas ran right in and started pounding away on Marcus Marion, sending him down to the mat a few times in a row, but the ring general that he is, Marion rolled on out of the ring to slow down the pace.

Mark Perletta: The bell already having rung, John wanted to get things going so he exited the ring and caught up to Marion before he could get away, and a few well placed right hands later, John Thomas buried his shoulder into Marion's midsection and rammed him back-first into the ring apron before throwing him into the ring underneath the bottom rope.

Landon Savage: We definitely saw a more aggressive John Thomas this week than we have for most of his time here in LEGACY, seeing more of the John that we saw back when he teamed up with Vincent Mallows last summer, and if John wants to be successful, he's gotta start going back to that attitude that nearly got he and Mallows the World Tag Titles, a strategy that worked very well for him back when he got started in this business.

Joey C: I agree, and the LEGACY John Thomas really hasn't been doing a great job. He's lost probably all the matches he's had since the start of May, and looking back over his career, losing streaks aren't a new thing for him.

Mark Perletta: No they're not, but the one good thing that can be said is that typically after a losing streak, John Thomas usually gets red hot and usually finds himself well in contention for championship gold.

Joey C: Well he started this match off hot and was taking it to Marcus Marion, wearing him down and really focussing in on that shoulder, probably because he was still a bit upset by Marion calling his Crossface Chickenwing "weak" a few days ago.

Landon Savage: When John Thomas finds a way to win a match with that submission move again sometime soon, then maybe people will stop refering to it as a weak move, but when you haven't won a match with a move in nearly 60 days, maybe there's some validity to statements like that.

Mark Perletta: Although the offense early on wasn't completely in favor of John Thomas, he did the majority of the damage during the first half of this match, and most of it was directed right into the shoulder.

Joey C: Not the former World Champion for nothing, Marcus Marion found an opportunity to put John Thomas on the defensive and he took it.

Mark Perletta: If you want to call a thumb to the eye "finding an opportunity", then I guess what you just said is correct.

Landon Savage: Don't be such a woman, Perletta. Things like that happen all the time. After taking control of the match, Marion worked John Thomas over in the corner, hitting him with knees to the gut, forearms to the face, and irish whips into the opposite corner.

Mark Perletta: A nice little strategy employed by Marcus to wear down John Thomas, mixing in a ddt in the middle of the ring to continue on the offensive, but a pinfall attempt only resulted in a two count.

Joey C: He was just testing him, Marky, wanting to see how much John Thomas had left in the tank, a question that would continue to be asked throughout the remainder of the match.

Start : Footage from the Match

Taking a firm grasp around Marion's wrist, John Thomas lifts his opponent up to his feet, and then he immediately yanks down on it, and then a second time, this one taking Marcus back down to one knee. Wanting to keep in on the attack, John pulls Marion back up to his feet, but as he does Marcus Marion grabs John with both hands and pulls him as hard as he can in the opposite direction. Doing so, Marion throws Thomas into the referee, knocking both of them down to the mat. Running over, Marion does a baseball slide, shoving John Thomas out of the ring, sending the referee out to the floor with him.

Mark Perletta: I don't know if Marcus Marion meant to send both men to the outside, but with the referee laying between John Thomas and the edge of the apron, that's exactly what happened!

Landon Savage: What are you talking about, Perletta? Why would Marcus Marion want to shove the referee, a LEGACY official, out of the ring? Clearly he wouldn't.

Sliding underneath the bottom rope, Marcus follows John to the outside. Once out there, he wastes no time in grabbing John by the head and picking him up to his feet and slamming him face first into the steel ringpost, knocking John back down to the arena floor. Walking over to the announcer's table, Marion grabs someone and shoves them out of their seet, grabbing their steel chair, folding it up. Turning around and running towards John with the chair over his shoulder, Marion swings through and takes John off of his feet with a SICK chairshot to the head.

Joey C: HUGE chairshot there by Marcus Marion, and John Thomas looks OUT! He's DONE!!

Landon Savage: Doesn't look good for the boss' son, now does it?

Joey C: Maybe not for his biological son, but for his adopted son, Marcus Marion, things are looking VERY good.

Mark Perletta: What in the world are you talking about? Rob Belote didn't adopt Marcus Marion, that's just something Marion talks about to piss off John Thomas.

Joey C: You've seen how Marcus Marion is obviously favored around here, Rob Belote may as well have adopted him. He treats Marion more like a son than he does John Thomas.

Mark Perletta: Let's be clear about one thing right now. The front office makes the decisions around here, and while Rob Belote IS a member of the front office group that makes the bookings and decides who gets title shots, he's not the only one on that committeee, which he created to keep anyone from claiming that he's favoring one member of the roster over another like you two are insinuating he has been doing with Marcus Marion, and like people might assume he might do with John Thomas. There is no special treatment around here.

Throwing the chair underneath the bottom rope and into the ring, Marion then grabs John Thomas by the arm, picks him up, and then rolls him into the ring underneath the bottom rope, then walks over and walks up the steel steps and into the ring. The ref still down on the outside, Marion picks up the chair and then looks over at John Thomas who is struggling to get his knee underneath him, and Marion watches for a moment as John actually gets one of his feet underneath him. As he does so, John is taken back down to the mat as Marcus runs in and nails him in the back with a hard chairshot. Standing back, proud of what he has done, Marion taunts the fans momentarily and then turns his attention back towards his opponent, who, much to the surprise of Marcus Marion, is working to try and get back to his feet, already working on getting a knee underneath him.

Mark Perletta: John Thomas trying to get back to his feet even after another chairshot from Marcus Marion.

Joey C: What's he thinking, trying to get back up after that?

Landon Savage: He's NOT thinking, Joe, he's just not. John Thomas isn't a "brains" type of guy, which is sad, really, because he's not a "brawns" type of guy either.

Visibly frustrated and looking to put John Thomas away before the referee wakes up, Marion runs in with the chair and nails an uppercut, nailing John right in the face with the chair and knocking him backwards and down on to his mat, busting his forehead open. The chair dented and John looking completely out, Marion throws the chair out of the ring and walks over and checks on the referee. Seeing him start to get to his feet, Marion walks over and grabs John Thomas - blood covering about half of his face and most of his forehead, picking him up to his feet and immediately pulling him up into a slam position, then jumps... tombstone piledriver!!

Revolutionary Thrill!!

Marion goes for the cover...

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Winner by PINFALL : Marcus Marion

Mark Perletta: After all of those chairshots from Marcus Marion, that Revolutionary Thrill tombstone piledriver was fairly un-necessary.

Landon Savage: That's exactly what some people said when the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan about sixty years ago, but they did that because the Japanese don't know when to give up, so Truman was just letting them know that, in no uncertain terms, the war was over. That's what Marcus Marion was doing with the Revolutionary Thrill, telling John Thomas that the match was over.

Joey C: The problem with John Thomas is that he just doesn't know when to give it up. He's got that idiotic "never say die" attitude, and in the long term that's going to kill his chances at having a lasting career in this business. He needs to learn to know when the day's battle is over in order to give himself more of a chance to live to fight another day.

Landon Savage: Marcus Marion was just doing what he needed to do to put an end to the match.

Mark Perletta: A lot of people would disagree, considering the actions he took to be going to far. He didn't need all of those chairshots. He didn't need to be as violent as he was, and after the match, new reporter Andrew Kelley decided to try to get his first words with Marcus Marion to see why he did what he did.

Walking away from the gorilla position, Marcus Marion heads towards the locker room area right after his match with John Thomas, and given the way Marion picked up the victory due to the repeated use of a steel chair, Andrew Kelley decides to get a word with the former World Champion and so he runs over to catch up with him.

Andrew Kelley: Marcus, could I get a quick interview with you?

Marcus slows his pace, letting the reporter catch up to him, but not stopping.

Marcus Marion: I can only wonder what you're wanting to talk about.

Andrew Kelley: Well your match that just ended a couple minutes ago, it ended on something of a bloody note, with you getting rather violent with that steel chair. Care to elaborate on why you acted like I did?

Marion stops and takes a step in Andrew's direction, looking him dead in the eye.

Marcus Marion: And your point is...?

Andrew Kelley looks a tad bit put-off by just how heartless Marcus Marion appears to be.

Andrew Kelley: They had to take him off on a stretcher, Marcus. Didn't you see that? You could've put that young man's career in jeopardy...

Marcus Marion: Well then maybe he's not cut out for this business. There's a sucker born every minute. Some of them buy real estate in florida, some of them send money to African princes in response to requests by email, some of them bet money against yours truly, and some people think that they have what it takes to make it in this business. Well I've got news for you... Oh who cares what your name is... John Thomas should consider taking up a new profession, because it's obvious to me after stepping into the ring with him for what appears to be our first and only ever one-on-one match that the "wrestling proficiency" gene that Rob Belote passed on went to me and not Thomas.

Andrew Kelley: But you're not...

Marcus Marion: Bottom line is that John Thomas needs to realize that, because this business obviously doesn't come very easy to him, maybe the cosmos is trying to clue him into something. Maybe this little losing streak he's been on lately is indicative of a greater problem: lack of talent. I'm trying to do him a favor by making the odds clear up any doubts over what his next move should be, which is basically just anything to keep him from being involved in this business.

Marcus looks down at his watch and then back up at Andrew Kelley.

Marcus Marion: Now if you don't mind, I really do have some things which need attending to...

Marion gets a cocky smirk on his face and then heads off towards his locker room, leaving Andrew in a slight state of shock, the camera then switching over to the recap broadcast position.

Mark Perletta: A very non-apologetic response there from Marcus Marion, and honestly, I can't say I'm surprised.

Landon Savage: The guy is just telling it like it is. You all wanted to know why he did what he did, you should be praising him for his honesty. Too often in society these days do people lie about their intentions on things or what really happened in various situations, whereas the man who has best represented this organization in the past year just gave you a straight-up, honest answer and people get all salty because they didn't like his reason.

Mark Perletta: Well either way, Marcus Marion had some not-so-nice things to say about John Thomas, meanwhile EMTs were helping John Thomas to the back, and halfway up the ramp he collapsed and had to be stretchered out to a hospital where I hear he received some blood and got bandaged up.

Joey C: After all of those chairshots I bet they check him for a concussion, too.

Mark Perletta: Not a situation I'd want to be in. Next up we've got a segment where a man who at one point in his career seemed to be on his way to championship belts, but since that point he's turned into a recluse and someone whom reporters are talking about in terms of wasted potential.

We see Tim Jones standing alone in a hallway in the arena, he is slowing sipping on a Budweiser longneck and smoking a cigarette, leaning against the wall right next to a No Smoking sign. He smiles towards the camera and seems to enjoy the attention of the little red bleep of the recording on symbol. Tim tosses the cigarette on the ground and stamps it out with his foot. He takes another drink, slams it down... and then slaps his hands together.

Tim Jones: "Look Legacy, I’ve been out of it. I been high, drunk and just… more or less both morally and physically fucked up. I haven’t been the same Tim Jones that you all have grown to love over the years. I am not the same Tim Jones that tried to "rape" Marie of her innocence back in TTW when I was “doing battle” with her fiancé Stephen Rawlings.

Tim Jones pauses momentarily before continuing.

Tim Jones: I’m not the same guy who joined Team Handsome and High Society, simply put I am no longer that man. You see, when I got injured, I fell into a proverbial hole, a very long and dark hole that took me months to get out of. I started on drugs to get to the places that I lost, and in the process I almost tossed my life, my career, and my family down the toilet....

Tim laughs and reaches down into a blue cooler and takes out another Budwesier Longneck....

Tim Jones: Yes, the drugs. I can hear it now… People close to me thinking I was nothing but a liar, nothing but a degenerate. Lying to the fans… Well you know what? I needed to. I had to lie to all of you, each and every week. I couldn’t come out then and cleanse my soul. I couldn’t do it because you wouldn’t LET me do it.

Jones starts slowly shaking his head “no”.

Tim Jones: You wouldn’t have understood that from someone like me. You can’t understand something like this. This isn’t your normal run of the mill drug addiction. I needed this drug to replace something in my life... To replace a lot of things in my life.

Taking another drink of beer, he looks back into the camera...

Tim Jones: You wondering what i needed to replace? My family, for one. They didn’t accept what I did for a living. I was nothing to them. They even considered my lousy Uncle Craig to be better than me, and he worked the overnight shift at the 24 hour gas station. A 40 year-old man punching people in and out for gas, no secret to anyone that he was smoking weed, was considered better to the rest of my family than me, a 31 year old wrestler. A SUPERSTAR!! I earned all of my money, all of my fame and fortune, but in the end it wasn’t enough. Not for them. I didn’t doing anything that was really worth anything to them...

Laughing a bit, he takes another drink and lights up another smoke...

Tim Jones: But if it isn’t worth anything, then why do I continue to do it if it hurts so much? Why do I keep doing this when my knees hurt after all the bumps I’ve taken. Why do I keep coming back after it required 5 hours of surgery to repair my torn meniscus... why? My family thinks it’s all fake. My family, they think I just "play" hurt. I play my injuries so i can get more money come a contract signing.

Another drink from the longneck.

Tim Jones: Fuck them. That’s why I took the drugs, I needed an escape.

Jones’ eyes narrow as he takes another drink.

Tim Jones: I hear you though. I know what you’re thinking. You think I’m just crying to get airtime, all a ploy to try to get ratings... if you think that way then fuck you too. I still have more to get off my chest your going to listen to it.

Finishing his 2nd beer of this interview, probably not the 2nd for the night, Tim cracks open yet another beer from his blue cooler and continues on...

Tim Jones: The drugs, they provided everything i wanted. I lost the fans during those months away from the ring, fixing my knee that a lot of people thought wasn’t REALLY injured in the first place. Crying at night when the pain was so intense I wanted to take a sledgehammer to my knee to make it all go away. But I couldn’t very well do that now could I? I couldn’t end everything, so I just did something to make me go to a better place... a happier place if you will. Marajuina, Cocaine, pain pills, whatever it took to get me out of my hole for 10 minutes was good enough for me.

Another sip.

Tim Jones: You ever mix cocaine with pain pills and then go all night drinking? My god, the high you get is amazing… but when you come down, if your lucky enough to come down, it’s horrible. Its your worst nightmare all over again... your body twitching, itching for another hit, another lick, ANYTHING TO GET YOU THOUGH THE FUCKING DAY! It’s what life becomes, survival, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second. You make your whole life about the drugs, you make your whole life nothing but a slave to them. With what to show for it? As the months go on you need more and more to recapture what your first high was like....

Takes another drink of beer.

Tim Jones: I probably wasn’t ready to quit them when I did. You can see it now if you watch closely. In my matches, I don’t even look like the same guy. I don’t have it... I haven’t had it in a while… but maybe I will now. I felt as if I was hiding something. Hiding this from the fans, hiding it all. Rob asks me to come out here and talk, I sure as hell know he didn’t expect me to bare my soul to the world.

Another drink of beer.

Tim Jones: But I tell you what, it feels good to do it. It feels damn good. I been off of all the drugs, aside from the nicotine and alchol, for about 4 months now. That man you saw in the TTW… right after Marie left for Canada… was a different man. I passed it off well in the beginging, but as time wore on...

He starts shaking his head slowly and taking another sip of beer.

Tim Jones: It didn’t just get bad, it got horrible. Despite that, I kept it from Ed like a pro. I didn’t want him to have the shame to fire to me, a former champion from his stable ranks. It could send the wrong idea. So I drove it futher into hiding. Ed found out and wanted me to clean up my act, so he decided to stage a knee injury for me. Well i guess we "acted" too well, because High Society really did blow out my knee. When it happened I had been on so much crap that i didn’t even know my knee was really messed up until the doctors found it. So I jumped into drugs more then, even more than before....but it all came to a head for me. I had a near death experience. I OD’ed. Bottom fell right out. I tell you what, though, I dont want to die...

Another sip of beer.

Tim Jones: "Can you, anyone in that audience, or here in the back say that they want to die? I sure as fucking didn’t want to die. I had more women to see, more people to entertain, to GET BACK TO WHAT IS MINE, to get back to what is mine...and i did that. I entered drug rehab while my knee was healing up and I did some internal soul serching, got myself clean... and now I’m back. The past two months have been a warm up for me and now I feel like I’m ready to take what is mine, and I’m going to take what I want. The Ladies Man is back, and you better be aware, because you have just been put on alert.

The scene then switches over to a shot of the recap position where the announcers are sitting behind their desk, and Mark Perletta looks slightly saddened.

Mark Perletta: You just have to feel bad for Tim Jones that he had to go through all of that. Whether you're a fan of someone or not, it's hard to see them face personal demons like what The Ladies Man has gone through.

Landon Savage: You know what? Those are his problems, not ours. Should we feel sorry for him that he had a huge opportunity to get fame and fortune and he couldn't handle it and got himself addicted to drugs. Next thing you know people will start blaming THAT on High Society, too.

Joey C: Tim Jones made it perfectly clear that his drug abuse started because of that Marie chick Stephen Rawlings was almost engaged to, and amped it up because he got a knee injury.

Mark Perletta: Speaking of Stephen Rawlings, he's going through something of a rough spot himself right now, having just releaved himself of one problem by getting Chris Turner removed from the LEGACY roster by winning his match last week.

Joey C: Right after that match, just when he was announcing his intentions to go after the World Title, he found himself a new problem in the form of one very pissed off Japanese man looking for HIS shot at the LEGACY World Title, one Katsuro Yoshida.

Landon Savage: Can Stephen Rawlings end another problem this week, or has he possibly bitten off more than he can chew? That match is next.

Mark Perletta: When the encounter between these two happened last week and I knew a match was sure to follow, I imagined that this would be more of an "East Meets West" type of scenario, but when I saw that Stephen Rawlings was returning to Japan to get a refresher course on his martial arts skills, that idea went right out the window.

Joey C: I was a little surprised when I saw that Rawlings was going to Japan, and believe me, I was fully ready to make fun of him for the entire concept, but I have to admit, through watching his second promo where he was actually working with a martial arts master to help him get back some of his old skills... I was disappointed. I knew I wasn't going to be able to make fun of him like I wanted to.

Landon Savage: While early on in this match Rawlings was able to do some interesting little reversals and avoid getting taken out by a few of Katsuro Yoshida's kicks, let's be honest about something right now: Katsuro Yoshida was born and raised to be a martial arts expert. It's what he does. It's what his father did before him, it's what his grandfather did before either one of them. Stephen Rawlings may have some "ninja training", but he would've been better suited to plan his attack around the style of wrestling he's accustomed to and not try to alter his offense based on his opponent this week.

Mark Perletta: Stephen's work inside the ring this week was different than his typical style, and while Katsuro Yoshida might've been the better martial artist inside that ring this week, Rawlings didn't appear to be completely out of his element.

Landon Savage: No one's saying that, but what I am saying is that about halfway through the match when Rawlings went for a kick and it looked a bit awkward and provided Katsuro Yoshida with the opportunity to take control of this match, that was an opportunity that Katsuro Yoshida might not have been provided had Rawlings not strayed from the approach he took to the match last week against Chris Turner that proved to be so effective!

Mark Perletta: Let's not be too critical. Yes, Katsuro Yoshida was able to take control of the match due to an awkward mishap by Stephen Rawlings, and yes, he kept control of the match for a while, but Stephen Rawlings definitely had better martial arts skills than most people I've talked to this week had expected from him.

Joey C: Stephen Rawlings just did so well last week at beating Chris Turner, he should've just gone with that same approach this week too, and the proof of that came when Rawlings regained control of this match, blocking one of Katsuro's crescent kicks and then taking him down with a very non-ninja capture suplex.

Start : Footage from the Match

After dropping Yoshida down to the mat with the suplex, Stephen Rawlings went to the outside and hopped up to the top turnbuckle, and as Katsuro started to rise back up to his feet, Rawlings leaped off the top rope and nailed Yoshida with a missile dropkick, taking him right back down to the mat.

Mark Perletta: High risk maneuver there by Stephen Rawlings. He's got the momentum, he's got the opportunity, can he capitalize on it?

Landon Savage: He looks like he's sure going to try...

Stephen Rawlings grabs Katsuro Yoshida by the arm, lifts him up to his feet, then he irish whips him into the ropes. On the return Rawlings goes for a crescent kick, but Yoshida slides underneath it, spins around and kips up to his feet. Rawlings turns around just in time for Katsuro to nail him with a side chop to the throat, which drops Stephen down to the mat, holding his throat.

Joey C: That'll slow Rawlings down a step.

Mark Perletta: Not exactly the most legal of maneuvers, but that chop happened so quickly that the referee didn't have time to yell at Katsuro Yoshida for it like he would've for a choke-hold or something like that.

Katsuro Yoshida irish whips Stephen Rawlings into the corner hard back first, and then he sprints forward, does a back handspring, then a twisting back handspring, back-first towards the corner, going for a elbow smash... but RAWLINGS MOVES OUT OF THE CORNER!! Rawlings rolls out of the way, gets to his feet and grabs Yoshida from behind as he stumbles out of the corner. Rawlings goes for a belly-to-back release german suplex, but as he releases his opponent, Katsuro is able to flip through and land on his feet.

Mark Perletta: Great counter there by Yoshida...

As Rawlings turns around Katsuro Yoshida kicks him in the gut, doubling him over. From there Yoshida picks Rawlings up and hits a brainbuster, holding on to Stephen's head and turning over and standing back up, still locked on for a suplex. Again he lifts Stephen into the air, but this time instead of dropping him backwards, Yoshida drops him back down to his feet near the corner, but before Rawlings can do anything else, Katsuro steps in and nails Stephen in the back of the head with a jumping spin roundhouse kick.

Joey C: What impact on that kick!!!

Landon Savage: I'm betting that's it for Stephen Rawlings...

The crowd reacts loudly with an "OH!!!" from the impact of the kick and Katsuro barely seems to notice. Grabbing Stephen up off the mat, Yoshida gets behind him, pulls both of Stephen's arms backwards, hooks him in behind his elbows, and then Katsuro drops down like he's going to sit down on the mat and he pulls Stephen back into an Australian suplex, bridging into a pinfall position...

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Winner by PINFALL : Katsuro Yoshida

Landon Savage: I KNEW that kick was going to put Stephen Rawlings out!

Mark Perletta: A quality win there for Katsuro Yoshida, and you'd have to think that puts him into a good position to fight for the World Title sooner than later, further legitimizing his argument that he should be in the main event.

Joey C: If Rawlings hadn't altered his game-plan, that might be him in that position.

Mark Perletta: From what I hear, when Stephen Rawlings got backstage he was none too happy about losing that match, and although we don't have footage of it, apparently Rawlings was overheard telling someone that he wasn't going to let things between he and Katsuro Yoshida end like that.

We’re backstage and the crowd starts to cheer as they see Andrew Kelley knock on a locker room door labeled, “Revenge of the Nerds”. At first there is no answer, so Andrew knocks again. Finally, the door opens and Jen X sticks her head out.

Jen X: Can I help you?

Andrew Kelley: Yes, I’d like to ask the Nerds a few questions about their title shot tonight.

Jen X: Sorry, Andrew is it? The guys have their match up next and don’t want any interruptions....

Andrew Kelley: Hmm. Well how about you? Can you answer some questions?

Jen X: Hm? Me?

Andrew Kelley: Yes you – you’re quite the controversial topic these days. What’s the deal with you and Moxley? Are you a couple?

Jen X: This has nothing to do with the match tonight.

She starts to close the door.

Andrew Kelley: W-wait! How about your alleged previous relations with Dan Stein? Don’t you think that will play on the minds of the Nerds, especially Herb Moxley, now that you are their valet?

Jen X: Andrew… Good bye!

The camera cuts to inside the Nerd’s locker room just as Jen X slams the door. DJ and Herb are sitting at the far side of the room, dressed and ready for their match. Jen seems flustered.

Moxley: You ok Jen? You don’t look so good.

Jen forces a smile.

Jen X: Hm? No… I’m fine. It was just a reporter.

DJ Cassidy: Dammit, not now!!

Jen X: It’s fine. I got rid of him.

DJ Cassidy: Oh. Great. Thanks Jen.

DJ smiles appreciatively then turns back to Herb.

DJ Cassidy: Mox… We got this tonight, you know that right?

Moxley: I know… it’s just-

DJ Cassidy: Dude – we’re in our prime. I’m coming off a victory over John Thomas, and you just beat hall of famer JD Ice. We’ve never had this kind of momentum. There is not ONE person in this arena who doesn’t want to see us kick the crap out of these two punks and take the belts.

Moxley: Jesse… I know we’re the better team. It’s just- well I guess I figured things with Stein would have blown over by now... that’d we’d be cool again. But it hasn’t – and I want to kick the crap out of him more then ever. I think... I think I hate him, DJ.

Cassidy nods.

DJ Cassidy: You should. That asshole has been a dick to you and a lot of other people lately. Just use that anger, man, and keep your eye on the prize. We’re going in Nerds and coming out Champions once again.

Moxley: But we’ll still be nerds – right?

DJ Cassidy: Heck yes.

The two grin.

DJ Cassidy: That’s the stuff right there Mox. Don’t let that punk get to you. He’s an ass, and you don’t like each other – but you know what? He might get under our skin, but there is nothing he’s ever done that’s going to make us lose focus on the titles.

Herb suddenly gives a meaningful and troubled glance at Jen X, momentarily leading us to believe that may not be true. But it’s a very brief look, and Herb is quick to flash a grin.

Moxley: You’re right DJ. We got this.

Cassidy: Glad to hear it, now let's go get that gold.

DJ gives Herb a brotherly pat on the shoulder and the two leave the locker room followed by Jen X, for whom Moxley holds open the locker room door.

The camera goes elsewhere in the backstage area and there is an exceptionally audible cheer from the crowd watching the footage on the big screens. Why are they cheering you ask? Why because although not scheduled to wrestle, The LEGACY Champion is in the building. The Outlaw is dressed in a black bandanna, a green shirt that says in black letters “MOX ROX”, and in blue jeans. The LEGACY World Title is draped over his shoulder. Greyson rounds the corner he passes by LEGACY interviewer, Andrew Kelley.

Andrew Kelley: Greyson … Greyson … Hi, Andrew Kelley, newest member of the backstage interview team, could I get a word with you?

The Outlaw stops in his tracks and shakes his head and waits for the illustrious Mr. Kelley to catch up, microphone in his hand. Greyson just eyes up the smaller man, saying nothing and allowing Andrew to collect his thoughts …

The Outlaw: Well … what is it you wanted to ask Andrew Kelley?

Andrew Kelley: I wanted to get your thoughts on the results of your match with Dan Stein last week and the words he had for you after the contest.

Blade gives Kelley a look and then nods …

The Outlaw: My thoughts? Andrew Kelley can you trust me to give my thoughts? I mean at thirty years old I must be over-the-hill, past my prime, and just plain senile. How old are you Andrew Kelley?

The interviewer gives Greyson a bit of a look and then he sheepishly answers …

Andrew Kelley: I’m twenty-nine years old …

The Outlaw: Twenty-nine years old … my God Andy … you are almost a Grandpa too, or at least that funny great-uncle from the looks of that goofy pink striped shirt and those frosted tips.

Andrew gives Blade a bit of a look and seems a bit flabbergasted.

The Outlaw: Now, now, Andy don’t get all in a huff on me here, composure man, composure. I don’t care what your preference is, because the bottom line isn’t what we do in the privacy of our own homes or backstage or anywhere else outside of that ring. Last week in that ring, Dan Stein put my shoulders to the canvas, and history will record that he picked up the one, two, three on The Outlaw. However, everyone knows … you, me, that crazy guy dressed as a locust at every LEGACY Tour stop, all the way down to that punk ass bitch Dan Stein knows what happened last week. Last week, his sorry ass was saved by his tag team partner. Last week his sorry ass was saved because Conor McBitchcakes pull him out of the way of a Killshot, and then decided to go after me with a chair. Now, I’m not beyond the steel being involved in a match, but last time I checked I wasn’t booked in a handicapped match. I was booked to go one-on-one with Dan Stein, and since he wasn’t man enough to do it on his own, once again Stein simply showed a lil bit of potential … and where I come from potential is just another way to say “You haven’t done shit yet.”

The Outlaw gives a slight chuckle before his eyes narrow and there is a venom in his voice that was noticeably absent in his promotional work last week.

The Outlaw: You haven’t put me down Stein, oh hell …. NO! All you did was go from being an annoyance… to being a fucking target. Last week you made your choice. You had the choice to make it an honorable battle or to make this a war, and when you chose to get your “boy” involved … well that just sealed the deal. This isn’t going to be quick… but it damn sure is going to be painful. The disrespect you’ve shown me, the attacks… they are all going to come back to haunt you a thousand fold, because when it comes down to it… everything you’ve got… everything that Dan Stein brings into that ring, it’s not going to be enough to take my LEGACY Title. So when I meet you with this belt on the line… *Looking quickly over to his title and then back to the camera* you are going to do what the ladies already know you do best… and that’s come up short.

With that the Outlaw pushes away the mic and heads off down the hall and the camera switches back to a shot of the recap position.

Mark Perletta: Strong words there from the World Champion, and personally I can't wait to see Greyson Blade and Dan Stein get back into the ring with one another.

Joey C: You'd have to think that it's going to happen sooner than later, since Dan Stein said he didn't want to have to wait for September to get his title shot at the pay per view.

Landon Savage: He proved last week that, given the right opportunity, he can defeat Greyson Blade, and I personally hope such an opportunity presents itself, because right now, there's nothing I'd rather see than the World Title around the waist of either Marcus Marion or Dan Stein.

Mark Perletta: Going into tonight's show Dan Stein had one championship belt around his waist - the World Tag Team Championship. He made mention this week about possibly no longer wanting to hold those belts with Conor McLellan. How serious was he about that? The match is next.

Mark Perletta: With the things Dan Stein said earlier this week about not wanting the World Tag Team Championships, a lot of people in the front office were watching on nervously at the start of tonight's main event.

Landon Savage: You' damn right they were nervous, they didn't like to hear that Dan Stein and Conor McLellan was considering just handing over they belts, making the Nerds paper champions for a second time.

Joey C: For Dan Stein, it didn't seem like a matter of whether or not he thought that he and Conor could beat Moxley and Cassidy, it was more a matter of whether or not he still wanted to be a tag team champion.

Mark Perletta: I think you'll find that the Disorderly Youth made their intentions very well known.

Start : Footage from the Match

With Moxley and Cassidy waiting in the ring, "Violencer Part II" by the Smashups starts in over the P.A. system and out from the back walks Dan Stein and Conor McLellan, both with the World Tag Team Titles over their shoulders, both wearing street clothes.

Mark Perletta: Neither of these two men looks to have worn their wrestling gear to come out to this match, so it seems fairly clear to me that just like Stein mentioned, these two have no intentions of defending their tag title belts here tonight.

Joey C: And why should they? This is a DEAD tag team division, they've beaten every one of the teams in it, and to anyone who knows anything about wrestling, it's clear that the Disorderly Youth are the better of these two teams, but what these two are doing tonight, they're making a statement. They're letting everyone know that the only way the Nerds can get the World Tag Team belts back is by having them handed back.

Mark Perletta: Well first of all you couldn't be more wrong about any of the things you just mentioned. About a month ago Moxley and Cassidy defeated Dan Stein and Conor McLellan, the week before the Disorderly Youth BECAME World Tag Team Champions. Furthermore there are plenty of great teams still on the roster, including the Old School Kings, Bushido Buntai...

Landon Savage: You know what? None of that stuff matters. I mean, really, didn't you watch Rise of the Elite 3? We all saw how dominant the Disorderly Youth were, and furthermore I KNOW you saw the show last week. You saw what Dan Stein is capable of doing on his own, he doesn't NEED Conor McLellan, just like Conor McLellan doesn't NEED him.

Mark Perletta: Well I beg to differ on that point, too. Last week...

Joey C: Calm down, Marky, things are about to start.

Stein and Conor both enter the ring, walking straight across, passing Moxley and Cassidy, and Stein is handed a microphone from the ring announcer. Taking it, he returns back to the middle of the ring where the referee and the Revenge of the Nerds wait to see what's going to happen.

Dan Stein: I made myself real clear about my intentions this week, so there's really no need to drag this out and waste my time with formalities.

Taking his World Tag Team Championship belt off of his shoulder, Stein lets it rest in his hands, and after looking back over at Conor and nodding his head with a solemn look on his face, Stein then LUNGES IN AT CASSIDY AND NEARLY DECAPITATES HIM WITH A BELT SHOT TO THE FACE!!

Moxley bends over to grab Stein off of his tag team partner but Conor McLellan runs in and kicks him in the ribs, knocking Moxley over, allowing Stein to lay into Cassidy with FIST after FIST after FIST to the FACE!! Conor pulls Moxley up to his feet and goes for a bulldog, but as he does Moxley shoves him off, sending him out of the ring underneath the bottom rope, and then Moxley turns and looks towards Dan Stein, and the crowd goes APESHIT!!!

Mark Perletta: Dan Stein sensing that something is going on behind him, he stands up and turns around and finds himself face to face with Herb Moxley.

After a very tense moment, Moxley starts firing in at Stein with hard right hands, rocking Dan backwards and into the ropes. Taking him by the arm, Moxley sends Stein into the opposite ropes in an irish whip, but on the return Stein takes Herb off his feet with a dropkick. Getting back to his feet quickly after hitting the move, Stein sets up to the side of Herb, and as his opponent gets up and turns to face him, Dan steps in... lifts one leg into the air.... WHIPS THE OTHER LEG UP AND AROUND TOWARDS THE BACK OF MOXLEY'S HEAD...

ENZUIGIRI.... NO!!

MOXLEY DUCKS! MOXLEY DUCKS!!

End : Footage from the Match

Landon Savage: Nice work there by the Disorderly Youth to trick not only the Nerds into thinking they were just going to be handed the tag titles, but all these idiot fans here in Ontario, too.

Mark Perletta: They might've gotten the upper hand early on, but Moxley wasn't going to let his former friend get the advantage over them that easily, and Moxley started going to work on Stein, the fans really behind the Nerds the entire match, loving every second of every minute that they were beating up on the Disorderly Youth.

Joey C: What do they know anyway? Dan Stein and Conor McLellan are arguably the greatest tag team this organization has seen in the entirety of its existance, and this is how they treat them? No wonder Conor and Dan are considering retiring from tag team competition. If they're not being appreciated, then what's their motivation?

Landon Savage: Keeping Moxley and Cassidy from regaining those Tag Team straps, that's what. I tell you one thing I don't agree with them on, and that's the whole Jen X issue. Frankly I think she's a cute little piece of ass that I wouldn't mind getting behind...

Mark Perletta: OOOOkay, let's get back to the match, because although the Nerds made a good comeback after the pre-match attack, Dan Stein was able to get his team back into contention for this match.

Joey C: I will say one thing for the Nerds, they did everything they could to keep Dan Stein the only one in the ring, thus being able to wear him down as much as possible.

Mark Perletta: The Nerds showing people that their experience as World Tag Team Champions molded them into a team just as formidable as the Disorderly Youth, and in this match, with Conor and Stein not working together as well as they have in the past.

Joey C: Well of course the Nerds had a lot of motivation to win this match. Not only are they trying to get the tag belts back, but in case you haven't heard the same rumor that I overheard someone tell Moxley last week after the show, apparently Jen X slept with Dan Stein!

Landon Savage: Are you serious?! Wait, Stein's not that much more attractive than I am, that means I have a shot with her! I'll have to give her a business card...

Mark Perletta: I highly doubt that happened, obviously a lie fabricated by Dan Stein, but I'm sure it did add to the intensity of Herb Moxley in this match when he was in the ring with Stein, and the fans responded by cheering louder during these moments than when Cassidy or Conor McLellan were in the ring.

Joey C: Let's not forget that cheesey "nostalgia pop" the Nerds got when they did their old school move when Cassidy power-bombed Moxley onto Conor.

Mark Perletta: The Disorderly Youth did make a comeback, though, and it started when Dan Stein and Conor started working together more like a tag team again, Stein getting Conor involved in the match.

Landon Savage: And they did a damn good job when they were working together, too, though you could tell that their hearts weren't really in it as much this week for some reason.

Mark Perletta: Well because they weren't working as well together as they could've been, the Nerds found an opportunity to regain control of the match, and they took it.

Start : Footage from the Match

Stumbling back towards his corner, Conor McLellan reaches back and tags in Dan Stein before dropping down to the mat and rolling out of the ring. Stein reluctantly gets into the ring, knowing the momentum the Nerds have. When Moxley approaches Stein, he gets caught with a thumb to the eye from Dan Stein, followed up with by a dropkick taking Herb down to the mat. Getting back to his feet, Stein looks over to his corner, considering doing a quick-tag to keep the momentum in his favor, but that's when he notices that Conor McLellan isn't in the corner anymore.

Mark Perletta: Conor McLellan's had enough, and he's ditching out on this match!

Joey C: Dan Stein realizing that might be the easiest way to retain the belts, and he takes the opportunity to slide out of the ring and head back up the ramp as well.

As Moxley watches as the tag team champions retreat up the match, he looks back at DJ Cassidy, trying to figure out what to do. With Conor McLellan nearly at the top of the ramp, walking up backwards to further mock the challengers, he doesnt realize that Gryffin Anselm has walked out onto the entrance stage, standing there behind him. As Conor reaches the top of the ramp, he backs up right into Anselm, and the cocky smirk on his face quickly goes away, realizing that whoever is behind him probably isn't going to be a friend of his. Conor turns around and is ROCKED back with a hard right hand from Gryffin Anselm, and then another one, and then Gryffin grabs Conor by the head and yells something at him.

Gryffin Anselm: You think you've got issues with Declan? You're not through with me, yet, kid!

Quickly grabbing Conor up off of his feet and up into a fireman's carry, Anselm doesn't hold him there long before whipping him down to the steel entrance ramp onto his back with a Michinoku Driver.... DEVASTATOR!!! Gryffin picks Conor up off of the steel ramp, takes him by the head and and quickly moves down the ramp and throws him underneath the bottom rope and into the ring.

Mark Perletta: It looks like this match is going to continue!

Landon Savage: How can it? Conor McLellan isn't the legal man, Dan Stein is! That's why he was laughing as Gryffin past him on the entrance ramp, because it doesn't matter if Conor McLellan gets back into the ring, Dan Stein is the legal man!

Joey C: Unless Dan Stein finds some reason to want to come down to the ring and keep Conor from a beating at the hands of Moxle and Cassidy, why should he come back to the match? Those belts are still his if he just walks on back to the locker room.

Mark Perletta: Not if Greyson Blade has anything to say about it!!

Running down the entrance ramp is Greyson Blade, and before Dan Stein even realizes what's going on, Blade takes him down to the steel entrance ramp with a hard running forearm shot to the back, sending a wave of cheering throughout the arena. Blade picks Stein up by the head, quickly gets down to the ring, picks Stein up into a gorilla press position and tosses him over the top rope, Stein landing on his feet in the ring right next to Conor McLellan.

Mark Perletta: NOW the match can get started again!!

As Conor slowly tries to get to his feet, DJ Cassidy runs in and clotheslines him into the ropes, sending him out of the ring. Despite Moxley being the legal man, Cassidy grabs Dan Stein by the head, picks him up onto his shoulders, then DROPS him with a Death Valley Driver... holding on to his head and locking in a Dragon Sleeper! Moxley runs over and pretends to pull a pretend sword out of a pretend sheath on his pretend belt, and as he hoists it into the air, the entire crowd screams out "DRAGON SLAYER!!!". Cassidy shoves Stein to his feet, right into the waiting hands of Herb Moxley, who takes Stein by the head, turns towards the corner...

CLIMBS THE TURNBUCKLES...

FLIPS UP AND OVER....

DRAGON SLAYER!! MOXLEY GOES FOR THE COVER, THE FANS CHANTING THE COUNT ALONG WITH THE REFEREE...

ONE!!!

TWO!!!!!

THREE!!!!!!

Winners by PINFALL and NEW World Tag Team Champions :
Herbert J Moxley and D.J. Cassidy... the REVENGE of the NERDS!!!

Mark Perletta: They did it! They did it! The Nerds regain the World Tag Team Championships!!

Joey C: Damn it! Damn that Greyson Blade and Gryffin Anselm, without them the Disorderly Youth would've retained the belts!

Mark Perletta: What goes around comes around, and karma just caught up with the Disorderly Youth!!

Jen X takes the World Tag Team Championship Belts from the ring attendant and gets into the ring, handing one of the belts to Cassidy, then she turns and hands one to Herb Moxley, and as she does so she raises both Moxley's hand and Cassidy's hand in victory, and the show ends as the three of them all hug one another, the fans going absolutely crazy.
