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 start to play in the background. The first thing we see is a shot of Nicholas Creed locking Diego de Cardenas into the full nelson, holding him up, then turning it into the REIGN OF SIN. The clips which follow are Creed being handed the new Tao of Valor Championship belt, and then we see Creed and Declan backstage standing face to face, eye to eye, neither man backing down. We then see clips from the match between Marcus Marion and John Thomas, ending with a clip of each and every chairshot Marion nailed John Thomas with, a one second clip of darkness between each of them. Those clips end with John Thomas collapsing halfway up the entrance ramp and having to be stretchered off into an ambulance.

The next clips are from the match between Stephen Rawlings and Katsuro Yoshida, showing the offensive maneuvers from both men, ending with a shot of Yoshida getting the victory. The final clips of the show's intro are from the main event last week between the Revenge of the Nerds and the Disorderly Youth with the World Tag Team Titles on the line. We see how the Disorderly Youth tried to trick the Nerds prior to the match by pretending to hand over the belts, then we see quick clips of the attempted beatdown, followed by clips of the comeback. We see each of the two teams get in some of their offense, then we see the Disorderly Youth try to leave the ring, only to be brought back by Greyson Blade and Gryffin Anselm. The Nerds take out Dan Stein, get the pinfall, and the final image is of DJ Cassidy, Herb Moxley, and Jen X in the middle of the ring, hugging with the World Tag Team Titles over their shoulders.

The show opens on a shot of Mark Perletta, Landon Savage 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. Behind them is an elaborate backdrop which includes the yellow golden LEGACY logo.

Mark Perletta: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show, and I'm pleased to announce that for the first time since Rise of the Elite 3, our weekly show has a name.

Joey C: Do I like the name? That much I'm not sure of, but am I happy that the show has a name? Absolutely. I was getting really tired of saying "tonight's un-named LEGACY show".

Landon Savage: Since I'm the chosen savior of this organization's announce team, it was an obvious decision to allow me to announce that the consultants had a meeting all day yesterday with the front office, and the name that they decided on for our weekly show, as you may have seen above, is STRIFE.

Mark Perletta: The front office wanted to make a decision this week, they didn't want to wait until July 13th to have a name, and the name STRIFE was the top pick at the close of that meeting, and so at least until the upcoming pay per view on September 10th, STRIFE will be the name of LEGACY's weekly show.

Joey C: Until that time the front office will be conducting independent research to determine whether or not the name of the show is having a positive or negative effect on how the fans view the shows, and at that time the name may or may not remain STRIFE.

Mark Perletta: Since I heard the name of the show for the first time, I've been mulling it over and it's really starting to grow on me. When you think about it, the word "strife" means "Heated, often violent dissension; bitter conflict. A struggle, fight, or quarrel. Contention or competition between rivals." Those are all things that this business is all about, those are the kinds of things we see on a weekly basis. Does it seem like a wrestling show name to me? About as much as Shockwave, Oblivion, Nitro, RAW, Thunder, and Smackdown did the first time I heard them.

Joey C: In time I think the name is going to grow on people and they're going to appreciate it about as much as people are going to appreciate having a new ring announcer.

Landon Savage: Enough about the whole "strife" name thing, let's talk about some female ass. Here's the deal: Little Miss Wholesome Prude Jen X got fired because she was deemed to no longer represent the image that LEGACY is looking to promote, and since then people have wondered when they were going to get a permanent replacement for her. Well now we have your answer.

Mark Perletta: What we don't have is a replacement, but what we WILL have, starting next week, is a list of names and faces, and you the fans get to vote on who you think should be the replacement for Jen X.

Joey C: Unlike in other similar contests, there's no goofy little contests these ladies are going to have to go through. They've already been screened to see what their voices are like to see what kind of charisma they have, all you fans have to do is to vote on which one you think is hot enough to replace Jen X.

Landon Savage: I plan on voting in this contest, but before I can cast a fair and conscionable vote, I'm going to have to get to know these ladies a little better.

Mark Perletta: Well the pictures will be available soon, fans should keep checking in on the LEGACY forum for more details.

Landon Savage: Well look who we have here...

Mark Perletta: Wait... he's not scheduled to be here tonight... but I'm not complaining!!

Joey C: We haven't seen him since Rise... why the hell would he be here?

We're jogging outside the arena. The camera man clearly in a hurry. We make a quick right turn and are nearly run over by Loco Martinez. Loco in orange board shorts, silver t-shirt, storms past. PISSED. We hear the distant roar of the crowd as Loco flings open a side door and storms into the backstage area. He prowls the halls a few minutes before grabbing a production assistant.

Loco: Marion. Where is he?

The assistant points meekly. Loco lets go and storms off. He gets to the door, smirks and looks back at the camera. He walks behind us, and we hear a metallic smack as he folds a metal chair. He reappears with the chair in hand. Again we hear the crowd roar its approval. Loco winks at the camera.

Loco: Just in case the dickbag's watching and sees me coming.

He reaches his hand up and knocks violently on The Revolutionary's door. The violent knocking on the door persist. Each knock sounding louder than the one before, the fans chant in the distance: “LOCO! LOCO! LOCO!” like we are at the Academy Awards. The knocking continues and all of a sudden on the other end of the door, small child-like hands open the door. Loco PISSED looks around, but instead of being greeted by Marion, he is greeted by Marion's twin teenage tour babes. Joelle and Maria Robins. The Rhodes cousins don't seem to be anywhere near this "meeting of the minds." The girls are seen sporting
frumpy blonde hair, and take a look at the "towering" Loco Martinez and make for some interesting conversation.

JOELLE ROBINS: Joelle Robins at your service!

Loco looks at the precocious sixteen year old in a very annoyed state. Maria pushes her younger twin out of the way and says..

MARIA ROBINS: Joelle, your such a herectic. That's NOT what Marcus told us to do, whenever we answer the door. We are supposed to introduce ourselves at the same time. Your like totally a pain in my royal...

Loco looks at the the more brash twin with cold eyes. Maria gulps. And then looks at Loco's attire.

MARIA ROBINS: Point taken. So, orange board shirts and a silver top? Which boy band did you front and then flee from? I totally can't wait to see you play AJ from the Backstreet Boys in a made for tv series. Judging by that chair your wielding, and the fact that your head is smoking like a chimney, you’re obviously pretty pissed. I was pissed once. Then I met the LOVE of my life, Marcus Marion, and he like… ROCKED my WORLD.

Maria's eyes flutter, and she cups her hands, and crosses her legs like a simple little child. Joelle, chimes in briefly.

JOELLE ROBINS: Rocked my world too! I got the vaginal bruising to prove it, see....

Before this can turn into a gross out party, another hand opens the door and the twins scurry behind the "man of the hour" The former World Champion, The Revolutionary Marcus Marion. Marion looks at Loco up and down.

MARCUS MARION: Dude, you came to my locker room with a chair? Look around for chris sakes, this is a locker room, theirs PLENTY of places to sit. Heh, you looked pissed, and FYI, for all the fans who may have signed up for Loco's book and fan club, ANY reason for back stage tension, is a direct result of Marcus Marion.

Loco smirks and looks at the two girls.

Loco: I'm a boyscout, Marcus. I'm always prepared... nice jailbait by the way, just when I thought you couldn't get any lower.

The girls look offended, Marcus rolls his eyes.

Loco: I'm here for one reason. A challenge.

MARCUS MARION: So you're here to play the hero?

Loco: I'm here to play a different game, one called "Shut Up the Dickbag". I'm here to look you in the eye and say that if you want to wear John Thomas out with a chair? You want to put him on the shelf? Think you're going to get away with it? Think again. So next week, be here. Have your gear. You come out to the ring and fight.

The twins look at Loco, with hands on their hips. Both wave their little fingers in the general direction of Loco and give him hell.

TWINS: He'll be there!

Marion looks at the girls and says, with a discouraging tone.

MARCUS MARION: Girls don't help.

TWINS: Sorry!

Marion pokes Loco sternly in the chest with his index finger. Loco annoyed swats Marion's hand out of the way. That old-school platinum blonde hair of the former World Champion sparkles in the lighting of the locker room as he eyes Martinez.

MARCUS MARION: A fight...with you? I hope not to the death, because I've shed enough blood these past two weeks. Just ask your buddy JT all about mercy. Don't EVER barge into my locker room and accuse me of ANYTHING. Jail-bait? I know I'm cooler than the other side of the pillow. Your just jealous you didn't copyright these girls first. Too busy drinking crystal pepsi and nursing that bum career of yours, which apexed at getting jumped by three thugs in a ring, in an overly-elaborate sneak attack, courtesy of the guy who used to be considered “Captain Dickbag” until his career mellowed out the moment I was born. "Greatest Show On Earth"? Your little Show is about to hit cancellation. Oh, and just in case it gets lonely on skid-row, here's something to remember me by.

Marion reaches into Joelle's hair and takes off her scrunchy. He then tosses it in the face of Martinez, and the trio walk out of the locker room laughing, Loco smirking and glaring a hole through them as they leave, and then the camera switches back to the broadcast position.

Mark Perletta: To be very honest I didn't expect to see Loco Martinez here at all tonight, as he's got some other pressing issues elsewhere, but don't get me wrong I'm glad to see him, and I'm glad he stood up to Marcus Marion for what he did to John Thomas last week.

Landon Savage: Look, I'm tired of everyone crying for John Thomas. If the kid would've just stayed down on the mat after the second chairshot, he could've avoided the whole "loss of blood" thing, he could've avoided the "minor concussion" thing... But no, he's too damn proud to stay down, he's too damn stupid to stay down.

Joey C: Marcus Marion wanted to pick up the win against John Thomas, so he did so by whatever means he had to. Now Loco Martinez wants a shot at Marion to get some sort of redemption, and he'll be a damn lucky MoFo if he avoids a beating with a chair, too!

Mark Perletta: Well I don't remember chairs being legal in the match last week between John Thomas and Marcus Marion, I sure as heck don't think anyone said anything about them being legal next week when Marcus Marion and Loco Martinez get into the ring together, but in the No Limits division, chairs are completely legal.

Landon Savage: I suppose that's your attempt at making a segway into tonight's opening match between Tim Jones and Jimmy Smith. You're getting better at this, Perletta. Keep trying, buddy, keep trying, you'll get your chin over the bar one of these days.

Mark Perletta: In our first No Limits division match up, with a title shot against current No Limits Champion Gryffin Anselm on the line, Jimmy Smith and Tim Jones both went into this match more motivated than they had been in the past few months, and it showed.

Joey C: From the opening bell, these two idiots just started pounding the hell out of each other, not giving much in the way of thought to strategy, nor working out a way to get the upperhand by doing anything other than throw punches.

Landon Savage: Seeing how Jimmy Smith outweighs Tim Jones by about twenty seven pounds, it didn't surprise me any who gained control of this match first, since Big Jimmy's punches were hitting harder, something he was known for back when he was the SWA Intercontinental Champion, something you two would know if you did preparation work now and again, but that's neither here nor there.

Mark Perletta: Good point, despite being awkwardly stated, Jimmy Smith did take the early advantage and he sent Jones into the ropes in an irish whip, but on the return Jimmy Smith leapfrogged The Ladies Man and then turned around and connected with a clothesline reminiscent of Mick Foley just as Tim Jones started to rebound off of the ropes, sending both men down to the outside.

Joey C: Once out there, Big Jimmy was the first of the two to take advantage of the 'lax rules that come along with the No Limit Division as he took Jones by the back of the neck and threw him into the steel guardrail.

Mark Perletta: When Jimmy picked Jones up and went for an irish whip into the steel steps, however, The Ladies Man was able to reverse it, sending Smith back first into the steel steps, knocking them clear away from their position around the ringpost.

Landon Savage: Jones wasn't about to send the action back into the ring just yet, however, and after stomping on Jimmy Smith's back a bit like a shark smelling blood, Tim Jones picked his opponent up and sent him back first into the steel guardrail.

Mark Perletta: Sensing that he had an opportunity to stay in control of the match, Tim Jones grabbed Jimmy by the arm and picked him back up to his feet, but when he did so Smith grabbed him by the head and smashed him face first into the steel ringpost, knocking Jones down to the arena floor.

Joey C: That's when Jimmy Smith took over and sent the action back into the ring, where he continued to work over The Ladies Man.

Landon Savage: Not only did he work him over when they got back in the ring, but once Tim Jones was on the mat and unable to get back to his feet, Big Jimmy took that opportunity to remove the turnbuckle pad on the top turnbuckle in one of the corners, a very legal move in a No Limits division match.

Start : Footage from the Match

Grabbing Tim Jones by the head, Jimmy Smith lifts his opponent up to his feet and then irish whips him into the ropes. On the return Smith looks to take his opponent down with a clothesline, but The Ladies Man ducks underneath it and keeps running. On the return Tim Jones flies towards Jimmy Smith and takes him down to the mat with a flying clothesline.

Mark Perletta: Tim Jones with a desperation move to keep himself in this match, and now both men are trying to get to their feet.

Joey C: Looks like it wasn't enough.

Jimmy Smith gets back to his feet first and he grabs Tim Jones by the head and works to bring him to his feet, but as he does The Ladies Man nails him with a low blow, doubling Smith over. Working to get to his feet, Tim Jones lays into Jimmy, nailing him with a hard left fist to the face, partially spinning him around, and then the Ladies Man grabs him around one of his legs and then lifts up and falls backwards into a falling side suplex.

Mark Perletta: Getting back to his feet, Tim Jones drops an elbow down into the back of Jimmy Smith, then gets up as quickly as he can and drops a second one. And then a third one.

Landon Savage: This is what I like to see, somebody working over a particular part of another person's body, trying to capitalize on a weakness. They say that this sorta thing usually only happens in technical wrestling, but I think it has a place no matter what type of wrestling a person is doing. If you can't capitalize on an advantage, then I can guarantee that you won't be as successful in this business as someone who can.

Tim Jones grabs Jimmy by the arm and brings him up to his feet. Pulling back as hard as he can, Tim Jones sends Jimmy Smith into the ropes with an irish whip, but on the return Big Jimmy runs and leaps towards The Ladies Man with one of his knees up, driving it into Tim's stomach. The impact hits Jones hard and knocks him down to the mat, where he writhes around in pain, rolling a bit towards the corner of the ring.

Mark Perletta: Oh and that running knee-lift to the midsection looks to have taken the wind out of Tim Jones, and this doesn't bode well for the Ladies Man.

Landon Savage: Look at this tenacity, Jimmy Smith going right after Tim Jones, not wasting a second!

As Jimmy Smith lifts Tim Jones up off the mat into position ready to powerbomb him down to the mat, The Ladies Man fires in hard with two quick right hands. Big Jimmy loses his grip and Jones is able to get his feet back down onto the mat. Grabbing Jimmy around the waist, Tim Jones picks his opponent up and slams Jimmy as hard as he can into the exposed top turnbuckle.

Mark Perletta: Tim Jones escaping the Big Bomb and dealing another huge blow to the upper back of Jimmy Smith which looked to be injured early on in this match...

Joey C: Tim Jones taking a few steps back, I think we know what he's setting up for...

Jimmy Smith arches his back as he lays on the mat, and slowly he tries to work his way back to his feet, unaware of where Tim Jones is or what he's doing. When Big Jimmy gets back to his feet, he turns around as he stumbles towards the center of the ring and BAM!! SNAFU superkick to the jaw. Jones drops down to the mat and makes the pinfall attempt on an unconscious Jimmy Smith...

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Winner by PINFALL : "The Ladies Man" Tim Jones

Mark Perletta: The Ladies Man picks up a win and now he will go on to face Gryffin Anselm at some point in the near future for the No Limits Title.

Joey C: Yeah, I mean, that's great, and I know Tim Jones wants to make his big comeback and all, but seriously, is he really going to be able to defeat Gryffin Anselm?

Landon Savage: He'll be lucky if Anselm doesn't just put him right back on the injured reserve list. William Anselm does NOT have time for guys like "The Ladies Man" who just want to make this business all about entertainment. Sure, there's an aspect of that, but just like people go to the rodeos and enjoy seeing the rodeo clowns run around after each "try" by the cowboys, the people go to rodeos to see the steers and the cowboys.

Mark Perletta: Well lets not forget just how effective Tim Jones was back in the Spring of 2005. He's not some amateur, he's not some side-show, the guy can really compete when he's on his "A" game...

Joey C: Well then he had better plan on bringing his "A" game to that match with Gryffin if he wants a chance to survive, let alone win.

Landon Savage: You guys are finally starting to see the true talent that Will "Gryffin" Anselm possesses, and he's going to make an example out of Tim Jones one way or another.

The opening guitar to “D & D” by Stephen Lynch, hits the PA system and the crowd begins to cheer as Herb Moxley and DJ Cassidy come out from the back. DJ is sporting the classic nerd tag team look with a Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts, while Herb is wearing a home-made T-shirt showing a picture of Greyson Blade delivering the Kill Shot to Chivalric, on the back saying “Be like Greyson - beat up Mason”. Moxley wears his LEGACY World Tag Team title around his waist while DJ holds his proudly on his shoulder.

I got my twelve sided die and I’m ready to roll,
with a wizard and my goblin crew.
my friends are coming over to my moms basement,
bringing Funyuns and Mountain Dew.
I got a big broad sword made out of cardboard,
and that stereo's a-Pumpin’ Zeppelin.
its that time of the night, we turn on the black light
LET THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS BEGIN!!

The crowd continues to cheer as they make it down to the ring. Someone tosses Herb and DJ a couple of mics and the music is cut, but the fans keep going; a chant of “Nerds!! Nerds!! Nerds!!” can be heard.

Moxley: Settle Down Folks!! My goodness – we’re just a couple of nerds. It’s not like we’re the TAG TEAM CHAMPIOPNS OF THE WORLD or anything.

The crowd cheers the new champs and their recent victory.

Moxley: Oh wait – like they say on the back streets of Buffalo, “Snap-Diggity”, We are the champions!!

A good amount of people cheer simply because Moxley said “Buffalo”.

DJ Cassidy: They say “Snap-Diggity” in Buffalo?

Moxley: Indeed DJ. Indeed. - You know it’s almost a good thing we have the night off. After putting on Conor McLellen’s former title I got a MAJOR contact high and had a serious delusional desire to get myself a web cam and bore the crap out of people with stories about how hard life can be when you don’t have one.

DJ Cassidy: At least you didn’t get stuck with Stein’s belt – I have been itching like CRAZY. I hope the lab results from the STD tests come back negative.

Moxley: Yeah Dan Stein is a lot like Maine, he’s known for his crabs. I guess the only question now is who is going to take these belts away from us?

DJ Cassidy: Maybe if Disorderly Youth gets tired of running away from us we’ll give them another shot.

Moxley: Or maybe we’ll get a chance to teach the Old School Dogs, some New School Tricks. When we’re done with them - they’ll wish you were the Old School Queens, because DJ and I don’t like to hit women. Maybe if you two stayed in school you’d realize that you’re too old to be kings!!

DJ Cassidy: Uhm, not sure if I follow you Mox…

Moxley: Me neither, but if you think my Old School King’s smack talk was bad just listen to the stuff I came up with for Bushido Buntai ...

DJ Cassidy: Alright…

Moxley: Bushido Buntai? More like U-sucka Big-Time. You might come from the rising SUN, but we’re number ONE. You might karate chop out our TEETH, But we still wont be BEAT. You might ninja kick our SACKS, but we won’t stay on our BACKS. You might take judo CLASS, but we’ll still kick your ASS!!

DJ chuckles weakly along with the crowd.

DJ Cassidy: Yup. That WAS bad.

Moxley: Yeah, we’re in trouble … Shortest tag title reign ever?

DJ Cassidy: Has it been more then 30 seconds yet? In that case I think we already beat out the Odd Cousins.

Moxley: Woooo Cass; just like the back streets of Buffalo…

God knows why, but the crowd cheers along, “SNAP DIGGITY!!”

Moxley: Until next time, this is your tag team champions, signing off!!

The crowd cheers on the Nerds as they head to the back and the screen changes back to a shot of the recap broadcast position where the three announcers sit behind their desk.

Mark Perletta: The Revenge of the Nerds, once again World Tag Team Champions, making their feelings known about the various teams they might have to face in title defenses heading forwards.

Landon Savage: Our next match of the night involving the team of Eric Wolfson and Jake Dominion, a team dating back nearly a decade or more, taking on a team who is being paired up for the first time ever tonight, and going into this match, I think a lot of people believed, just as I did, that the Old School Kings had a big advantage.

Mark Perletta: Certain advantages can only take you so far and effort has to do the rest. Were the Old School Kings able to defeat John Page and Aaron Beaudway? Lets find out.

Mark Perletta: When this match got started, the Old School Kings used their experience teaming with one another to their advantage, working over John Page using quick tags in and out of the match to wear him down.

Joey C: Every time Page would start to make a move to try to make a tag, Dominion and Wolfson would keep him from doing so by keeping him no closer to his partner for the evening than the middle of the ring.

Landon Savage: This match wasn't the crispest I've ever seen the Old School Kings work together, but to be honest, against Page and Beaudway they really didn't have to be.

Mark Perletta: John Page and Aaron Beaudway both decent competitors in their own rights, never having been tag team partners before and going up against a team as cohesive as Dominion and Wolfson made this match that much harder for them.

Joey C: Apparently the front office thought that maybe teaming these two guys up would give them some spark, but that spark just didn't happen this week.

Landon Savage: There was a spark between the very different members of the Odd Cousins, but that really only worked because they were related. Beaudway and Page are very different individuals, and their personalities just didn't mix well together.

Mark Perletta: Even still, during the match John Page was able to get in a little offensive, tagging in Aaron Beaudway to keep the momentum going, but before Only Way could put together more than a couple moves in a row, the Old School Kings took over.

Joey C: Probably the smartest thing Beaudway ever did, he found a quick opening and was able to tag John Page back into the match.

Landon Savage: It was the smartest thing for him, though it definitely wasn't the best move for his team.

Start : Footage from the Match

Confused by why Beaudway just tagged him in, Page gets into the ring and tries to ask Aaron his reasoning, but Dominion runs in and takes him down with a flying forearm knocking him into the corner. Dominion picks Page up and immediately takes him towards the center of the ring with a snap suplex, then gets up to work him over some more. Picking Page up to his feet, Dominion goes for a crescent kick, but John ducks underneath it, grabs on to one of Dominion's arms, spins him around slightly, locks him into a half-nelson and takes him down with a half-nelson german suplex.

Mark Perletta: Good reversal and takedown there by John Page, but it looks like that forearm in the corner and then that snap suplex weighed in on Page, who didn't have a lot of recovery time on the apron after the beating he had taken early on in this match.

Joey C: And now it looks like Page is going to try to make the tag in to Beaudway...

Landon Savage: He'd better hurry if he wants to stand a chance at all, because Jake Dominion just made the tag on the other end of the ring. I don't think he's going to make it...

Crawling across the ring, John Page starts to get to his feet, extending his arm towards his corner, trying to make the tag to Aaron Beaudway. Potentially in range to make the tag if Beaudway would reach his hand out to try to close the gap, John Page is suddenly grabbed from behind by Eric Wolfson into a reverse DDT position... walked a few steps closer to the middle of the ring... and the Wolfson takes his opponent up and over into a suplex, sending him down into the corner on the opposite side of the ring near where Jake Dominion is standing on the outside.

Mark Perletta: John Page nearly making that tag, but it looked like Aaron Beaudway was almost IGNORING the attempt!

Joey C: Well wouldn't you if you were him and knew you'd have to get back into the ring with the Old School Kings?!

Wolfson walks over and tags in Jake Dominion and then turns back towards his opponent. Taking John Page by the head, Eric Wolfson lifts his opponent up high off the mat into a vertical suplex position, holding him up there as long as possible and then dropping STRAIGHT DOWN into a sick looking BRAINBUSTER...

Joey C: Rule of ObliVion!!

The legal man in the match, Jake Dominion, leaps off the top rope as soon as Eric Wolfson rolls out of the way, getting a ton of air and crashing down onto Page with a frogsplash!!

Landon Savage: Brainbuster... Frogsplash... RULE OF DOMINION!! Jake makes the pinfall attempt...

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Winner by PINFALL : The Old School Kings

Mark Perletta: Another win here in LEGACY for the Old School Kings, and after the match Wolfson and Dominion made it fairly clear that they intend on going after the World Tag Team Championships, making the motions of wanting championship gold around their waists.

Joey C: They stand a good chance, too. I mean, come on, does anyone really think that Herb Moxley and DJ Cassidy are going to be any sort of match against these guys?

Landon Savage: The Nerds have been tagging up... how long? As far as I know they met each other in TTW... more accurately Herb Moxley had his first MATCH of his career in TTW. No chance the Nerds are going to be able to hold off the Old School Kings if those two teams meet up with the belts on the line.

Mark Perletta: Well Herb Moxley did get a big win over Jake Dominion back on June 22nd, just two weeks ago, a win that most people still can't comprehend happening, so I maintain that anything can happen, so don't go counting the two-time World Tag Team Champions out just yet. Besides, the Old School Kings haven't earned a guaranteed shot at the belts just yet.

We fade backstage in the hallways of the arena as Herbert Moxley is seen by what seems to be a refreshment's table. Really, its just power bars, Gatorade, and water. However in the background, we hear what sounds to be cheering...

"GIVE ME A C!"

"GIVE ME AN 'I'!"

Now Herbert turns, a bewildered look on his face.

"GIVE ME AN 'A'!!"

Whatever this is.. it's now louder.. almost in view of the camera.

"GIVE ME AN 'N'!"

"WHAT DOES THAT SPELL.. CIAN!!"

Finally, the man is in view. He sports a navy hat with an orange I on it, as well as a navy shirt with that same I on it. He has orange windbreaker pants, and orange sweatbands on his wrists. On both sides are two cheerleaders.. both brunettes.. and both similar looking to one another.

Cian: Voices are dreadful... wouldn't you say?

Moxley: Not too bad actually. I like their… enthusiasm. And they know how to spell.

Cian smirks.

Cian: I suppose there is that. Name's Cian Randal.

Moxley: Nice to meet you - Cian? Does that make them -your- cheerleaders?

Cian: Something like that. Do you like cheerleaders?

Moxley: Uhm… I’m not looking to purchase one if that’s what you’re asking, but, Doesn’t everyone?

Cian: Heh, I suppose. You’re funny. I like you. I might even give you a nickname. Any idea where I can find Rob Belote? He does... own this place, doesn't he?

Moxley: He owns a lot of things – including LEGECY. But… you know backstage is for employees only right?

Cian: Yes, backstage IS employees only. Thankfully, my ever-so-calculating mind allows me to evade such complications. So.. about the location of one Robert Belote....

Moxley: Actually he doesn’t come to every show, but he has a front office representative here each week, Smith Cartwright. His office is just down the hall and to the left.

Cian: Very appreciated. I really do like you. Didn't catch your name…

Moxley: Herbert Moxley.

Cian smirks.

Cian: Herbert Moxley. Like it. Has that traditional sound to it. Well, thank you Herbert. I'll see you around?

Moxley: I guess so?

Cian: I look forward to it. Until then… farewell.

Cian walks off, and the last thing we hear in the background faintly is "I like the kid." As Herb Moxley stands there, slightly confused, Jen X approaches him, a water bottle in her hand.

Jen X: Who was that guy?

Moxley shrugs.

Jen X: He sure does like the letter "I".

Moxley looks over at Jen X, and a moment later they look down the hallway as Cian walks off. They both shrug and then walk off.

Elsewhere backstage we follow Andrew Kelly down the hallway as he walks down through the section with the wrestlers' dressing rooms. New LEGACY signee Jack Henderson exits his locker room, and as he heads towards the gorilla position, Andrew Kelly raises his microphone.

Andrew Kelley: Jack Henderson, first of all welcome to LEGACY. You're about to go out to the ring for your first ever wrestling match, care to let us know how you're feeling?

Not slowing down his pace at all, Jack looks up at Andrew, looks over at the camera, and then looks off down the hall in the direction he's headed. Walking backwards and trying to stay in front of him, Andrew tries again.

Andrew Kelley: I've heard that parts of your background might lend itself to in-ring competition. Care to fill us in on any of that?

Jack Henderson continues forwards down the hall, and realizing that he's not going to get anything, Andrew Kelley stops walking, as does the cameraman, and Jack Henderson makes his way to the gorilla position for his match.

Mark Perletta: A man of few words is Jack Henderson, and you have to wonder just how nervous a guy his age is walking down the hall headed for his first ever wrestling match.

Landon Savage: He'd better be damn nervous, he's stepping into the ring with James Win, and although the All Star hasn't quite returned to his top form yet, he's getting back there, and if Jack Henderson did any of his homework on The Golden One, he'll realize that his chances of winning this match are "slim" and "none".

Joey C: Finally, someone who sees James Win the same way I do. You know, another thing I was wondering about Jack Henderson that just might be true... I think the guy's probably just really boring. Maybe we're lucky that he didn't open his mouth. We might've fallen asleep.

Mark Perletta: Having limited opportunities to interact with Jack, I'm not sure what the case is, but if there's something that James Win has never been accused of, it's being boring. The clashing of styles is next, and a shot at the Tao of Valor Championship is on the line.

Landon Savage: When this match got under way it was James Win who took the early advantage, using his wrestling experience to keep on the offensive against Jack Henderson, who looked a bit shaky in there early on.

Mark Perletta: James Win using some nice dropkicks and quick suplexes to keep putting Jack Henderson down on his back.

Joey C: It seemed to me like being in front of all those people really un-nerved Jack Henderson early on in this match. Plenty of people think they have what it takes to be a professional wrestler, but the fact of the matter is that very few actually do... and that includes some of the people who have somehow made it into this business.

Mark Perletta: Well the early part of the match may have involved some jitters on the part of Jack Henderson, but a few minutes in as James Win went for a hiptoss, Jack Henderson was able to keep his balance and he then shifted his momentum and was able to put James Win on the mat with an interesting looking takedown.

Landon Savage: It sure as hell wasn't anything technical, but Jack Henderson did take James Win down to the mat, and after doing so, I will admit, Jack did position himself in such a way as to keep James Win face down on the mat, wrenching back on one of his arms into something resembling a hammerlock.

Joey C: As this match progressed, Henderson started to surprise me, getting into more appropriate wrestling stances, all-beit better suited for something more along the lines of MMA or Greco-Roman wrestling, but he was actually able to take James Win down to the mat a couple more times during this one, actually proving to be half-way decent.

Mark Perletta: I'll say. As he seemed to start getting more and more comfortable in there, he was actually able to deflect a couple of the attack attempts by James Win. Not all of them, but more than you might expect from someone who had never been in the ring before.

Landon Savage: The All Star didn't just lay down and roll over for this Jack Henderson guy, though. Sure, it's his first match in LEGACY, but The Golden One is making his ascent back to the top of this business, he wasn't about to just let some "past-his-prime" rookie get a win over him.

Mark Perletta: Well after putting up a darn good fight after he got a little less nervous, it looked like Jack Henderson was in trouble as the veteran Win took control of the match, and it appeared as though he wasn't going to look back.

Start : Footage from the Match

With Jack Henderson on the mat, James Win runs over and exits out onto the apron and he then starts climbing the turnbuckles. As he gets one foot on the top, he notices that Jack Henderson is working his way up to his feet, so he hurries and gets both feet up there. After balancing himself, he looks and sees that Henderson is back on his feet, so he leaps off into a flying cross body block... but when James hits him, Jack grabs on to him and spins, using James' momentum against him and SLAMS him down to the mat!

Mark Perletta: Great takedown there by Jack Henderson!

Joey C: Great takedown? All he did was grab James Win out of mid-air and threw him. To be honest it looked somewhat awkward.

Mark Perletta: It did not, but how it looked doesn't matter, because what it did was to send Win hard into the mat, and as he tried to get up, you could tell how badly it hurt!

Both of them on the mat, James Win struggles to get his knee underneath him, but amazingly Jack Henderson is the first of the two to start working his way to his feet. Win grabs on to the ropes and tries to pull himself to his feet. Struggling as hard as he can, Jack Henderson forces his way up to his feet, and he looks over and sees James Win starting to get to his feet, and so Jack moves over and grabs James Win from behind in a rear naked choke and pulls him away from the ropes.

Mark Perletta: Jack Henderson with the Kata Hamije, popularized by Taz as the Tazmission, used most as a mixed martial arts submission, and he's got it locked in!

Joey C: Are you kidding me?! James Win can't lose to this guy!!

Mark Perletta: Jack Henderson drops down to the mat, holding on to James Win, locking the hold in...

James fights it...

Win tries to hold on...

He tries to hold out...

He doesn't want to...

He's screaming...

JAMES WIN TAPS!

JAMES WIN TAPS!!

Winner by SUBMISSION : Jack Henderson

Landon Savage: I sure hope Jack Henderson realizes what kind of a huge fluke win that was, getting a win over a guy like James Win. That sort of thing doesn't happen for most veterans, let alone guys in their first match.

Mark Perletta: This may have been Henderson's first match inside a ring, but he doesn't appear to be any kind of stranger to hand-to-hand combat. Somone should get an interview with him next week to find out what his background is all about.

Joey C: You saw how successful attempts were TODAY to get an interview with him. Good luck trying it next week!

The public address system wakes up again and "Champion" by Grinspoon begins to play throughout the arena. Suddenly the lights go out, and there is black for a second. Suddenly some blue pyrotechnics go off at the entrance ramp and Stephen Rawlings, in street clothes, walks out. He is holding a mic in his hand. The crowd cheers and he acknowledges them. That doesn't stop him from hastely making his way down the ramp towards the ring. He climbs in and stands in the middle of the ring. He is silent as he looks at the corwd and they continue to cheer him. After a few moments of that he gestures for them to quiet down and he raises the mic to his mouth.

Stephen Rawlings: You all know how I hate to come out into this ring, and take up all of your time with stupid nonsense, especially when you came to see some wrestling, so I'll make it quick. I'm out here because I know Osamu Hayashi is in the building tonight for his match... Which means that Katsuro Yoshida is in the building. And therefore, I know that he is backstagte watching this right now. Why is that important? Because I want a rematch.

Stephen pauses for a brief moment to let that set in.

Stephen Rawlings: That fucker beat me with better martial arts skills, but goddamn it... He’s been training his entire life in martial arts, he has been competing in Japan with other guys who do martial arts, but you know what? This is not Japan... This is the United States of America, and I stand here true and proud of our country’s culture, and so if Katsuro Yoshida wants to come into MY country and try to embarrass me… Then fucking fine.

Rawlings, fuming mad, pauses a moment to compose himself.

Stephen Rawlings: First thing Katsuro Yoshida did after he attacked me from behind was to lock me into that submission hold of his? Fine, next week he and I can step into this ring, and we'll see how good he is at submission matches, and he better be the best goddamn submissions wrestler in the entire world, because that's the only way he'll get out of the Submission Move. And when he doesn't... when I make him tap out like a little baby… he’ll regret that he ever… EVER… messed with me.

The crowd cheers by this news.

Stephen Rawlings: To erase any doubt that Katsuro Yoshida is going to accept this offer, just know that I talked with the front office, and if he accepts this submissions match for next week, the winner will receive a GUARANTEED shot at the World Title. I hope that's clear enough motivation for ya, Katsuro... See you next week...

He drops the mic and rolls out of the ring. He walks up the ramp with his theme song playing once again and then disappears through the curtain.

Mark Perletta: Stephen Rawlings makes the challenge, and if Katsuro Yoshida accepts it, that match will happen next week, the winner getting a shot at the World Title.

Landon Savage: We do get to hear from Katsuro Yoshida regarding his answer, but that's coming up a bit later in the show, and before that, Yoshida's partner in the Bushido Buntai got the opportunity to step into the ring against Nicholas Creed with the Tao of Valor Championship on the line, and after winning a regular match last week, the front office stated that this week's match would be a stipulation match, and we learned that it, like the proposed Number One Contenders Match for next week, was going to be a Submissions Match. Let's get down to the ring.

Mark Perletta: As this match got under way, both men sized up their opponents, and in an unexpected fashion Osamu Hayashi gained control of things early on by ducking a lock-up attempt by Creed and nailing him with a standing dropkick to the knee.

Joey C: The relentlessness shown by Osamu early on was a breath of fresh air. Don't get me wrong, I love Nicholas Creed and I think he's an awesome champion, but the way he's been winning matches lately, I was really hoping that someone would eventually step up and give him a good challenge.

Landon Savage: As soon as I heard the stipulation behind this match was for Submission Rules, I figured that the MUCH smaller Osamu Hayashi didn't stand a whole lot of a chance.

Mark Perletta: Well as we saw, it turns out he DID stand a chance, fighting quite well in the ring and going after Nicholas Creed's leg as much as possible. Wanting to keep his championship reign going, Creed didn't give up without a fight and he battled back, throwing Osamu Hayashi around the ring whenever he could get his hands on him.

Joey C: Nicholas Creed definitely has the strength advantage, there's no doubt about that, but from the looks of things, Osamu Hayashi might've done a better job in the strategy department.

Landon Savage: I'm betting you can attribute a lot of that to his manager, Shinya Nori, who I've heard is an excellent motivator and strategist, having lead numerous individuals to championship gold in Japan, most notably his prized Bushido Buntai, a stable of sorts with Katsuro Yoshida at the helm, Osamu Hayashi at his side, and a number of others who came and went.

Mark Perletta: Well as the match drew on, Hayashi continued to find ways to attack Creed's knee, but every time it looked like he was going to get an opportunity to lock in a submission, Creed would get his hands on him and throw him off, about half of the time starting on an offensive run from that opportunity.

Start : Footage from the Match

Nicholas Creed grabs Osamu by the neck and goes for a hard right hand but Hayashi blocks it and nails Creed with a hard kick to the ribs. Then a second one. Breaking free of SIN's grasp, Osamu runs into the ropes and on the return drops Creed down to one knee with a dropkick to the leg. Creed tries to get up, but as he does Osamu spins around and sweeps his leg out from underneath of him, dropping him like a ton of bricks.

Mark Perletta: Osamu Hayashi in control of this match now, continuing to work over that leg of Nicholas Creed.

Joey C: He'd better do everything he can to keep him on that mat if he wants to stand a chance.

Lifting Creed up to his feet, Osamu Hayashi bends Creed's leg that Osamu has been working over at the knee, lifts him up and brings Creed back down to his feet with a knee-breaker. Not letting go, Osamu goes for a second knee-breaker, but before Hayashi can complete the move, Creed reaches back and takes him off his feet with a clothesline.

Mark Perletta: Nicholas Creed taking down Osamu Hayashi hard before any more damage could be done to his knee, and it was a good thing, too, because Osamu Hayashi seemed to be setting up for some sort of leg submission attempt.

Landon Savage: He can try to soften up Creed's leg all he wants, but in the end, did it help?

As Osamu Hayashi tries to get to his feet, Nicholas Creed gets in behind him and locks him into a full nelson. Creed swings his opponent back and forth, and Osamu struggles as much as he can, trying to break free. Osamu moves around so much that Creed loses part of his grip, and Hayashi drops down to his feet. Before he can move out of the way, Hayashi gets locked into the full nelson hold again by Creed. This time, instead of holding him up in the full nelson for an extended length of time, Creed pivots, turns Osamu in mid-air, and then DROPS him to the mat with a urinage slam!

Mark Perletta: REIGN OF SIN! This move is almost always followed by a successful pinfall...

Landon Savage: Not tonight it won't! This is a submissions match!

Joey C: Osamu Hayashi out cold... Creed lifts him back up, locks him into another full nelson... The referee checks for consciousness...

He lifts Osamu's hand...

...and it falls the first time!!

He lifts it again...

...and it falls a second time!!

He lifts it a third time...

...and it falls for a final time and the referee calls for the bell.

Winner by Submission : Nicholas Creed

Mark Perletta: Seventh straight win for Nicholas Creed, a streak that started back when he beat John Thomas to become a champion, and what in the world is it going to take to stop this man?

Joey C: He's got a lot of momentum, and if he can keep this streak going, he could not only be the first ever Tao of Valor Champion, but he could be the first ever Tao of Valor Champion to earn himself a shot at the World Title!

Landon Savage: Well if he wants to do that, he'll have to hold on to that belt for six more matches in a row. Six. Three of them regular, three of them stipulation matches. Can he do it? I think he might.

The camera opens up on Dan Stein, standing backstage. As the camera comes closer, it's easy to see that Stein is on a black flip phone, easily outlined by his short blonde hair. Stein holds his finger to his ear as a man appears from behind the camera.

Man: Dan, Dan. Can I get a word with you?

Stein looks up at the man, then holds up his index finger to symbolize to hold on, then turns his hand around to give the man his middle finger.

Dan Stein: Alright. Alright, Josh. Sounds wonderful. Definitely. I'll keep in touch.

Stein turns to the man walking up to him, then closes his phone.

Dan Stein: What can I do for you, Suit?

Man: I'm Avery, the new intern here for the 'Powers that Be'. I was wondering if I could get a word with you.

Dan Stein: Tell me something, Avery… do I look like I care what you're doing here? I know you're here to 'ask me a few questions', you've got a camera with you. I'm not a retard like half the roster here.

Avery: No, Mr. Stein. I… I was wondering if you could comment on the Disorderly Youth's loss last week at the hands of the Revenge of the Nerds.

Dan looks at the man, then to the floor, and up again to the man.

Dan Stein: The week before last, Greyson calls out Conor for 'assisting' me with the victory over that OLD FUCK, and you're fucking ancient compared to me, Greyson, but he gets on Conor for getting involved in the match, and then what does he and his friend do? Fucks me over.

Stein shakes his head in slight disbelief.

Dan Stein: So congratulations, Moxley. You beat Dan Stein. A tainted victory, but a victory nonetheless. Be proud. The only way you'll ever beat me is when you've got grandfather time interfering. Oh, but you won, you showed me up. I ate my words.

There’s a look on his face as if Stein just remembered something.

Dan Stein: Oh, and congratulations, Greyson. You got your revenge from two weeks ago, when I beat the ever loving PISS out of you, and nearly saw you snort your brains off the mat. But, you're the better man. Accusing me of 'not being able' to handle 'your court' or some shit, then do the same EXACT shit that you're calling me a 'punk bitch' for.

Stein looks deadly serious.

Dan Stein: You. Your wife. Your daughter, your five illegitimate children, and your mother can all go get fucked, Greyson. By a fucking unsanded two by four. And then, after that, you can come see me, put your title on the line, and LOSE THE BITCH to me, like you're DESTINED to do.

Stein looks at the camera.

Avery: Well… I guess that…

Dan Stein: I'm not done yet…

Avery gets quiet. Quick. Stein waits, but Avery can tell that he’s not happy about it.

Dan Stein: While I congratulate the people that benefited the most from last week, I have to congratulate the man that benefited the most. Not Moxley. Not DJ 'Butch' Cassidy. Not even Greyson Blade. No, not Conor McLellan… But the most electric… The most entertaining…

Quick pause before he continues…

Dan Stein: The most productive man on the LEGACY roster.

After a moment’s “thoughts”, Dan continues.

Dan Stein: The Lights.

Stein smirks.

Dan Stein: Yes, me. Because not only did Moxley wake me up… not only did Conor finally show me what kind of man he truly is, but Greyson officially... Officially… Put his belt right there for me.

Dan puts his hands out in front of him, as if accepting something that’s being handed to him. He closes his eyes.

Dan Stein: Inevitable. That's what me beating you for your title is, Greyson. Inevitable.

Stein appears to be in near ecstasy as he opens his eyes.

Dan Stein: You can feel it. That's why you brought Griffin to the ring with you. You can feel it. That's why you thought you had to devote a segment towards me. You can feel the inevitability of me beating you. You're doubting yourself. You're questioning if LEGACY is the right place for you.

The smirk goes away.

Dan Stein: In this cruiserweight clad roster, you're the over grown freakshow everyone's gunning for. Sure, you thought you'd last longer, you thought you'd enjoy LEGACY more than… this. But, you can feel it. Your downfall. Inevitable. That's what it is until you Feel the Rush, and end up on your back, staring up at the same thing you did three weeks ago. The Lights.

Dan gets a smirk on his face and he lets out a chuckle.

Dan Stein: Enjoy the fucking view, asshole, because next week, I’m taking my shot. I’m tired of waiting, these fans are tired of waiting, and since I’ve got more room around my waist now after last week’s little… unfortunate incident, I think it’s about time I put some World Title gold around my waist.

Stein crosses his hands over his chest.

Dan Stein: Now I'm done.

Stein looks at Avery, waiting for him to leave, and he doesn’t notice that Smith Cartwright has just walked up from behind him.

Smith Cartwright: Mr. Stein, am I hearing you right? You’d like your World Title shot next week?

Stein turns and notices the front office representative.

Dan Stein: That’s what I told your little boy-toy intern here, yeah. Gave the kid the story of his life.

Smith looks over at Avery, disappointed, then back at Dan Stein.

Smith Cartwright: You know, I’d love to let Avery have a “breaking news” bit like that his first go ‘round, but I’m afraid I can’t, because we can’t give you that match for next week. You see, the front office, they weren’t happy that you and Conor tried to walk out of your match last week, disrespecting the World Tag Team Titles like that. Rob Belote especially didn’t appreciate it, being such a huge fan of tag team wrestling like he is.

You can see the anger start to form on Dan’s face, but Cartwright doesn’t seem to care. Avery stands there, watching, totally enthralled by what’s transpiring.

Smith Cartwright: You’ve still got your title shot against Greyson, and since apparently you want to take your shot as soon as possible, we’ll sign it for June 20th, Montreal. But next week, June 13th, Ottawa, you and Conor, you’re going to work to help fix some of the animosity that’s growing around here. You’ve got issues with Greyson, but the last time you two got into the ring with one another, you had Conor help you get the win. Now it seems like after what happened last week and after what I just overheard you say, you and Conor might not be friends anymore. Be that as it may, I won’t trust it until I see it with my own eyes. Conor, he’s got issues with a couple of people lately, one of them being Declan, that’s being handled tonight. The issues he’s got with Gryffin, we need to handle that, too.

Dan Stein: What’s your point, Cartwright?

Smith Cartwright: The front office, they’ve decided that next week, to kill as many birds with as few stones as possible, they’ve decided to book a tag match. You and Conor will team up, whether it’s the last time you ever team up together or not, and you will step into the ring against the team of Greyson Blade and Gryffin Anselm. After that, if you and Conor don’t want to team up anymore, if you two want to hate one another, fine, whatever. Front office doesn’t believe that you two really dislike each other, but I guess we’ll find out next week.

With a smirk of his own on his face, Smith Cartwright walks off down the hallway, Avery following him.

Making his way down the hallways with a somewhat "defeated" look on his face, Andrew Kelley hasn't had much luck in the way of interviews tonight. After passing a locker room, an older asian man sticks his head out the door and grabs the interviewer's attention.

Shinya Nori: You want another chance to do an interview tonight?

Andrew Kelley stops walking and turns around, noticing the manager of Bushido Buntai talking to him. Not wasting a moment, Kelley turns around and heads right for their locker room. Shinya backs up and holds the door open as the two enter the locker room, where we find Osamu Hayashi and Katsuro Yoshida.

Shinya Nori: Earlier Stephen Rawlings announced that he wants another chance at Katsuro Yoshida. He thinks the second time is going to be the charm, and he went to the front office and set up the opportunity. He wants a submission match with the leader of Bushido Buntai? The front office has said that the winner of this match will gain himself a shot at the World Title?

Katsuro Yoshida starts to grin.

Shinya Nori: Challenge accepted.

Andrew Kelley looks excited to have broken that news story and he tries to follow up.

Andrew Kelley: Do you think you're at a disadvantage, stepping into the ring with Stephen Rawlings in this type of match.

Shinya Nori draws Andrew's attention from Katsuro Yoshida to himself by stepping in front of him.

Shinya Nori: You want to talk to the Bushido Buntai, you talk to me and they respond through me. Were you to know the reputation of Katsuro Yoshida back in Japan, you would not ask such foolishness. Katsuro Yoshida is no novice in the ways of submission. He looks forward to the opportunity, and he will continue to amaze American fans with his greatness.

Andrew Kelley: A tough loss for Osamu Hayashi minutes ago in his attempt to gain the Tao of Valor Championship against Nicholas Creed.

The camera pans over to show a dazed Osamu Hayashi, and then it returns to Shinya Nori for his response.

Shinya Nori: Osamu Hayashi may have lost, but he is in far better shape after this loss than Diego de Cardenas was last week. Nicholas Creed is a very formidable opponent, one who should be greatly respected for what he is capable of. Osamu Hayashi is a valued member of Bushido Buntai, but he is still something of an apprentice in regards to American wrestling. Though in time he shall be one of the best singles wrestlers in this organization, right now his purpose is best served preparing to become a World Tag Team Champion along side the future LEGACY World Champion Katsuro Yoshida. In due time, championship gold will come to Bushido Buntai.

Shinya Nori takes a few steps and stands next to the door, and then bowing slightly, Shinya does a sweeping motion with his hands, letting Andrew Kelley know that it is time to go. The video feed then cuts back to the recap studio.

Mark Perletta: So there you have it, the challenge was laid out there by Stephen Rawlings, the front office said that if Katsuro Yoshida accepts the match and the stipulation that the winner will get a shot at the World Title, and you just heard it, Katsuro Yoshida WILL take on Stephen Rawlings next week in a Submissions Match to determine which of those two will get a World Title shot.

Landon Savage: Don't forget that we ALSO heard right before that Bushido Boys segment that Dan Stein has also signed on to have a shot at the World Title, his shot coming on July 20th.

Joey C: Can you imagine, by the time the pay per view rolls around we could have not one new World Champion, but we could've had TWO new World Champions by that point, and when you think about it, it's really not that far away.

Mark Perletta: It will definitely be interesting to watch unfold, that much is for sure. The cards for the next two weeks' STRIFE events are definitely starting to fill out. Before we get to next week, however, we need to finish up with this week, and with only the main event remaining, that means we're almost there.

Landon Savage: I don't think much needs to be said about our next match. Everyone out there probably heard how heated things got in recorded comments between these two guys over the past week. Everybody knows that these two are former tag team partners in the Celtic Saints, and everybody knows it's going to be one of those knock-down, drag-out brawls, so let's just get right to it, shall we?

Mark Perletta: After the heated war of words these two former partners have had back and forth during taped promotional spots, it's not surprising to me that when the opening bell rang, these two went at it in the middle of the ring.

Joey C: Former tag team partners typically do make the best opponents, especially when one of them changes their ideology on things.

Landon Savage: I see where this is going and I don't think Conor McLellan should automatically get blamed here. It's not always the person who changes their ideology who is at fault for two people who were once friends being at odds. Sometimes you have to think that it's the person who chose NOT to evolve who is really at fault.

Mark Perletta: Irregardless of whose fault it is or was for these two ending up at odds with one another, the closed fist punches these two exchanged back and forth had a lot of heat behind each and every one of them, and after trading punches back and forth, fighting all around the ring, the two ended up on the mat battling it out.

Joey C: At first it was Declan O'Leary in the dominant position, on top laying into Conor with fist after fist, hardly a technical match at all, but after getting a poke to the eye, Conor was able to move himself into position where he started laying into Declan with punches and forearm shots of his own.

Landon Savage: I love these type of matches, where both men just want to beat the tar out of one another.

Mark Perletta: Declan regaining the offensive and rolling back on top. He holds his own there for a moment before Conor shoves him off and under the bottom rope, sending him out of the ring.

Joey C: Declan gets to his feet on the arena floor... flip-over plancha by Conor, crashing down on O'Leary!! I love it!!

Landon Savage: Look at these two go at it! First Declan was dropped to the floor as Conor came crashing down out of the ring on him, and now they're trading punches back and forth again. It's like they said in Fight Club, little guys fight until they're MUSH!!

Mark Perletta: Declan getting the advantage now and he SLAMS Conor face first into the ring apron, and that's gotta hurt!! O'Leary sending his former tag team partner back into the ring, then he tries to follow him back in...

Joey C: Conor kicking him in the gut before he even gets to his feet! Conor kicked Declan O'Leary in the gut as Declan was trying to get into the ring under the bottom rope, these two can't stand each other!

Mark Perletta: Conor the first to his feet, he grabs Declan and tries to pull him up to his feet but Declan nails him with a shot to the gut, doubling him over.

Start : Footage from the Match

Inside the ring, Conor McClellan and Declan O’Leary are trading punches, and Declan starts to get the advantage, hitting three straight shots. He moves in and hits a hard knee to the gut, and then hooks the arms and takes Conor back up and over with a double arm suplex. The crowd roars in approval as Declan hits the ropes and catches Conor with a dropkick to the face as Conor tries to rise.

Mark Perletta: This match has been truly back and forth, and now it looks like Declan is ramping things up in this late stage. Declan pulls Conor up to his feet and he hooks the arms and there’s a double underhook facebuster!

Joey C: Declan should be looking to ice this match up right here if he wants to get the victory here because with how this match has gone back and forth this could be a golden opportunity for him.

Mark Perletta: Declan now headed to the top rope and turning for what appears to be a moonsault!

Suddenly, Conor springs from the canvas long enough to hit the top rope and crotch Declan on the top turnbuckle.

Landon Savage: High risk, high reward, but there was no reward for O’Leary, but then again what would you expect from a drunk.

Mark Perletta: Nothing like typecasting.

Joey C: Nothing like stealing my lines.

Landon Savage: Both of you had better get used to it, like Declan had better get used to losing if he keeps making stupid decisions like going to the top rope.

Conor moves in and pulls Declan down into a tree of woe, and stomps the living hell out of him. He rips O’Leary off the buckles, and then pulls him up into a belly to back suplex. Upon impact he gets a running start and leaps off the ropes with the springboard moonsault. Conor then heads for the top rope, looking for the big bulldog …

Mark Perletta: Conor to the top rope now … Declan looks ripe for the Perfect Sonnet! Conor leaping and … Declan turns and catches him with the powerslam! Declan now up and he … he tosses Conor to the buckles and charges … and Conor pulls the referee in front! Declan hits the referee!

Joey C: Conor with the desperation tactic and it seems to have paid off for him, as now Conor hits the DDT on Declan. He’s going to the buckles now and … he’s taking off the padding.

Landon Savage: The ring can be a weapon … we’ve seen it before.

Conor gets the buckle removed and then moves across the ring after Declan, but Declan meets him with a clothesline. He scoops Conor up and sends him to the exposed buckle. Conor leaps up and drops behind Declan. Declan turns and fires a punch but Conor ducks and scoops him up and spins, dropping Declan face first on the exposed steel, busting him open.

Mark Perletta: Conor making Declan bleed here and … HE ROLLS HIM UP FROM BEHIND! The referee is barely up for the count.

One..

Two..

Three!

Winner by PINFALL : Conor McLellan

Mark Perletta: Conor McLellan squeaks out a cheap, close win here tonight, and as soon as the bell rings, Conor exits the ring ane heads back up the ramp, he knows he stole this one, and you can also tell that Declan's none too pleased about it.

Joey C: Call it stealing a win, call it being creative, call it whatever you want, Conor got the pinfall victory over his former tag team partner, and on this night, the history books will show that Conor McLellan gets the win in the battle of the Celtic Saints.

Landon Savage: He won the battle, in-deed, but look at Declan's eyes, fellas. There WILL BE another match between these two. When you've been in this business as long as I have, you start to pick up on things like that.

Mark Perletta: You don't say... Folks, I hate to say it, but we've run out of time, we'll see you next week!
