The LEGACY Tour logo shows up on a black screen and it fades out as "Awake" by Godsmack starts to play, and clips from the past two shows fade in and out. The first clip we see is of the Old School Kings hitting their finishers and getting the win over John Page and Aaron Beaudway. Tim Jones hits the SNAFU on Jimmy Smith. Jack Henderson gets the win over James Win. Nicholas Creed gets the win over Osamu Hayashi and is handed the Tao of Valor Championship, and he points to the metal "TAP" token.

Matt Larcen comes off the top rope and hits the GRAND LARCENY on Cian Randal. Marcus Marion and Loco Martinez slug it out in the clips that follow, the last of the bunch from that match showing John Thomas coming into the ring with the chair, then Loco's reaction, and then John Thomas dropping the chair and then nailing Marcus Marion with a wicked falling neckbreaker. Gryffin Anselm and Greyson Blade go toe to toe in various clips with both Conor McLellan and Dan Stein. The final clips of the intro show the back and forth battle between Stephen Rawlings, ending with Rawlings picking up the win and climbing to the second turnbuckle to celebrate.

The show opens on a shot of Mark Perletta, Joey C and Landon Savage 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 several monitors, all showing the scene we are watching first hand. As the shot moves in from a far shot to a tighter shot of just the trio, the screens around them fade into the yellow golden LEGACY logo, which is also plastered on the wall above their heads.

Mark Perletta: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of STRIFE as this week the LEGACY makes a tour stop in one of the most infamous wrestling cities of the past two decades: Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Joey C: I never understood why people felt the need to say "Canada" after naming the province. Are our fellow Americans dumb enough not to know that Quebec isn't one of our 50 states? Do they really think Quebec is some other country somewhere?

Mark Perletta: Well there has been a long standing attempt by the people of the province of Quebec to break away from Canada and be their own nations.

Landon Savage: Whoa, hold on a second, before this turns into some kind of political talk show, how about realizing two things: 1) the plight of French Canadians in Quebec ranks... at about 87th on the global interest list for persons who take issue with their current government representation, and 2) this is a damn wrestling show. Until those Quebec'ers start having an effect on LEGACY, which isn't going to happen, no one wants to hear about it. Four championship matches tonight, all the belts are on the line, lets get things cracking.

About twenty feet away down the hallway walks John Thomas, wearing a blue Toronto Maple Leafs hockey jersey and a plain black hat. As he stops at a catering table to pick up a Gatorade, the cameraman closes the gap, now only about ten feet from Thomas, who is now walking down the hallway again, passing locker room doors with the names of various LEGACY superstars on them. Finally, he gets to a doorway marked "Hotelling 4" and turns the knob with his free hand.

Much to his surprise when he enters the locker room he finds Loco Martinez sitting in a chair turned backwards, facing the door. Loco doesn't have the grin on his face he usually sports. This week he looks confused, concerned. John is a bit confused too, but knowing how relentless Loco is, he sets up a chair next to the wall and sits down, opening his Gatorade.

John Thomas: I would've picked you up one had I known you were going to be here tonight.

Loco looks around.

Loco: No worries. I wasn’t even sure if I was coming this week, Heh, one of those anonymous spare locker rooms this week, complete with three folding chairs and a monitor. Back to basics?

John shrugs.

John Thomas: Up until this morning I wasn't even sure if I was going to be here either so I didn’t bother reserving a locker room until a couple of hours ago.

Loco: Yeah you've been doing that whole "week-to-week" thing lately.

John nods.

John Thomas: As have you. How is Rocky, by the way? Seems to be the same old "ass hat" from what I've seen.

Loco shrugs sheepishly, not entirely sure how to answer that question.

Loco: You know how it is. Rocky being “Rocky”.

John nods, knowing all too well. Loco looks to change the subject.

Loco: Hey, the Leafs jersey. Sweet. Speaking of Canadian visits, you been up to see Diane recently?

John shakes his head no.

John Thomas: She's been real busy with work at the diner. Her uncle had to fire a couple of the waiters and so she's been pulling double shifts. Turns out Calgary's a bit of a drive from here.

Loco: How long's it been since you got to see her?

John shrugs.

John Thomas: I've sorta lost track. I'm sure I could look back in my journals and find it, but to be honest, right now, I'd rather not think about it.

Loco: Sorry dude. So what’s up?

John looks at Loco puzzled.

Loco: Like, how are you feeling?

John shrugs.

John: Better.

Loco: Figured, after seeing you last week. Thought maybe you were back to 100 percent.

John: Apparently I’m not cleared for my “in-ring” return until the first week of August.

John pauses, shrugs.

John Thomas: By the way, sorry if I cost you the match.

Loco shakes his head.

Loco: I’m not so worried about wins and losses. I wanted to fight Marion. And, I wanted, admittedly, to BEAT Marion… my concern is with you. I can fight that dickbag any day, I just would’ve figured you would have called or something… Let me know you’d be coming out last week.

John again shrugs.

John Thomas: Until I saw him walk out to the ring, I was just planning on watching it from an empty seat I found in the stands.

Loco shakes his head.

Loco Martinez: Another case of the Event Staff not doing their jobs…

John Thomas: I’ve gotta be honest with ya’, Loc’, even if it was something that I thought about doing way ahead of time… I still probably wouldn’t have tried to tell you about it before hand.

Loco looks both confused and concerned.

John Thomas: You would’ve just tried to talk me out of it just like you talked me out of hitting him with that chair. When I picked him up off that mat and the adrenaline took over and I snapped down on his neck and made him crumple down to the mat… that felt REALLY good, Loc’. REALLY good, even better than I thought it was going to. All the bullshit he always talks about, all those chairshots, the opportunities he’s getting… all that frustration just sort of… took over.

John stares over at Loco, waiting to hear his response, but all he gets for the first two moments are a concerned look, so John decides to continue.

John Thomas: Since I have a tentative medical clearance to return to the ring after August 1, I got myself a match for the show on Monday the 6th… that is, if Marcus accepts it.

Loco nods.

Loco: August 6th? Hmmm...

John: What?

Loco: Nothing, I might just have to alter my travel plans.

John gets a worried look in his eyes. Loco senses this.

Loco: Relax. I just figure if you're pissed enough to do what you did last week? What the hell will you do when you're across from him?

Loco smiles a huge smile.

Loco: And that? That's something I want to see in person.

Road agent Carter Franklin walks down the hall when suddenly there is a shout. The camera turns to where the shout came from, and we see it's one of LEGACY’s newer wrestlers Matt Larcen.

Matt Larcen: OUCH WHAT THE FUCK!!

Carter Franklin: Woah, are you ok?

Matt Larcen: I SAID “OUCH”, JACKASS. OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT FUCKING “O K” YOU FUCKING RETARD FUCK!! GAH!!

Carter Franklin: I guess not!

Matt Larcen: Tell me something… Why the FUCK do they call it a fucking SAFETY pin? WHAT THE FUCK IS SAFE ABOUT A RETRACTABLE POINTY ASS SHARD OF METAL?? JESUS CHRIST, I AM GETTING BLOOD ON MY NEW FUCKING JACKET!!

Larcen takes off his jacket and slings it over his shoulder. Carter looks like he doesn’t know how to help.

Carter Franklin: I don’t know what to tell you…

Matt looks frustrated, but up until now it doesn’t really have anything to do with Carter Franklin.

Matt Larcen: Just tell me where my fucking locker room is, jackass.

Carter Franklin: You’re a wrestler here?

Matt Larcen gives this guy the dirtiest fucking look ever.

Matt Larcen: Hey shit stain that better be a fucking JOKE. Are you TELLING ME that YOU DON’T FUCKING KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM?? I AM MATT FUCKING LARCEN. MATT. FUCKING. LARCEN. I’D FUCKING SCRIBBLE IT INTO YOUR UGLY FUCKING SKULL BUT CLEARLY YOU’RE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROSTER AROUND HERE!!

Carter Franklin: Look, if you were in the debut match last week, I had just gotten kicked in the head and I didn’t get to see the match…

Larcen doesn’t care about Carter’s explanation, he’s just sick of standing there, not yet in his locker room. Wanting to get Franklin to stop talking…

Matt Larcen: FUCK!!

Larcen kicks over a trashcan, knocking trash all over the place, and he storms off, trying to find his locker room.

Mark Perletta: As this match got under way, and I'll be completely honest with you here, the fans weren't really into it. A lukewarm start to the opening match from the fans.

Landon Savage: And why SHOULD they have been excited for this one? From what I kept hearing from people all week was that the last 4 matches of the show were going to be HOT. People were looking forward to 80% of the matches on this show, but as far as the opener goes, people felt like they were seeing a night of championship matches opened by a match between two jobbers.

Mark Perletta: Jimmy Smith having achieved a modicum of success back in another organization not withstanding, I can see how people would feel that way, but as this match got going, the fans did start to warm up to this match.

Landon Savage: I can't speak for Beaudway, but Jimmy Smith isn't some bum off the street who decided to step into a wrestling ring. He's been wrestling all over this industry for the better part of seven years now, and he came dangerously close to getting a shot at Gryffin Anselm and the No Limits Title when he just barely lost a match to Tim Jones back on July the 6th.

Joey C: I don't know how well the No Limits Division suits Jimmy Smith. The guy is a great athlete, he's got a great physique - or so the ladies tell me - but aside from whatever he does in the bedroom, the word "hardcore" doesn't really seem to fit when I think of Jimmy Smith.

Landon Savage: Well because I hang out with some women who like to do some pretty freaky things, I've seen a couple of his "movies" before, and I can tell you that when it comes to things like that, Jimmy Smith can get fairly hardcore. Once he steps between those ropes, though, I think that regular old matches are where he thrives.

Mark Perletta: Prior to the show I had a chance to talk with your former broadcast partner, Landon, and during our two minute conversation, he told me that although it hadn't been announced up until this point, the winner of this match gets to choose whether he wants a shot at the No Limits Championship, or whether he wants a shot at the Tao of Valor Championship, either one of those matches coming up on the August 6th show.

Joey C: Something tells me that prior to the match, someone clued Jimmy Smith into that fact but forgot to inform Aaron Beaudway, because it was fairly obvious who the more motivated of these two were tonight - unquestionably Jimmy Smith.

Mark Perletta: I'm certainly inclined to agree with you on that, Joey, and his relentless attack on "The Only Way" is what helped the fans get excited in the latter portions of this match.

Landon Savage: Well and from time to time, when he wasn't getting pounded on, Aaron Beaudway would clown around a bit, and that got a little reaction from the crowd, but if he were smart, if he had a damn clue what he was doing in that ring, he would've worked a little harder to win this match.

Mark Perletta: I always say that what happens in the first three-fourths of a match is important, but it's the last fourth that either wins it or loses it, and as things were winding down in this match, despite Jimmy Smith having been in control for the majority of things since the opening bell, Aaron Beaudway just wouldn't say die.

Start : Footage from the Match

Aaron Beaudway reverses the irish whip, sending Jimmy into the ropes. On the return Beaudway takes Jimmy down with a hiptoss. Standing over him, Beaudway leaps up into the air and drops a guillotine legdrop across Jimmy's throat.

Mark Perletta: Nice move there by Only Way, but you have to wonder, is that too little too late?.

Beaudway picks Jimmy up to his feet and irish whips him into the ropes. Beaudway runs in, hops up onto the second turnbuckle and starts laying into him with repeated punches, and then he puts his feet on Jimmy's thighs, leans backwards and sends Jimmy towards the middle of the ring with a monkey flip...

Mark Perletta: Jimmy Smith lands on his feet!

Landon Savage: Big Jimmy lifts Aaron Beaudway up off the mat... and SLAMS him down onto his back.

Unrelenting, Jimmy Smith grabs Aaron Beaudway and picks him up, then immediately sets him up, lifts him up onver his head and DRIVING him down onto the mat back first with the Big Bomb powerbomb. From there, Smith exits the ring and climbs the turnbuckle, getting to the top rope. Once up there, Jimmy Smith puts his hands up into the air, and then LEAPS off the top rope and connects with his UP ALL NIGHT elbow drop, then he hooks the leg...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Winner by PINFALL : Jimmy Smith

Mark Perletta: Jimmy Smith picks up the win, and I think a lot of people felt like he was going to win this match based on how things went early in the match.

Joey C: Well now Jimmy Smith has earned himself a title shot at either the No Limits Title or the Tao of Valor Title.

Landon Savage: I'd be willing to guess that his decision is going to be based largely on what happens later here tonight and who leaves Montreal with each of those two belts. If Gryffin Anselm and Nicholas Creed both retain their titles, I'd think the decision's going to be a rough one for the Ladies Man.

With a view of the backstage hallway area, we see Eric Wolfson walk out of a door, a look on his face which is half angry, half satisfied. He walks on past the cameraman, not giving him another thought, and after he does so, the cameraman walks over and shows the name on the door.

Smith Cartwright
Front Office Representative

Andrew Kelley stands in a hallway near the gorilla position. Jack Henderson is seen walking down the hallway, ready to participate in another match against Nicholas Creed. As he approaches Kelley, the interviewer tries to get his attention.

Andrew Kelley: Excuse me! Jack Henderson! Could I ask you a couple of questions?

Jack ignores him as he nears the position that Kelley is holding in the hallway. Jack’s silence doesn’t seem to deter Andrew Kelley from asking him questions.

Andrew Kelley: Jack, you’re going to face Nicholas Creed once again this week in a Thirty Minute Iron Man Match for the Tao of Valor Championship.

This gets Jack to stop in his tracks right in front of Kelley and his microphone.

Andrew Kelley: If you are successful in this match, it would be one of the most impressive pro-wrestling debuts to come out of an individual with a non-wrestling background, winning a championship on national television. Surely, something like this could be considered heroic?

And with that last word, Jack snaps. He grabs a fistful of Andrew Kelley’s shirt and slams him up against the wall, holding him up off the ground ever so slightly.

Jack Henderson: I said don’t call me a hero. What about that don’t you understand? Why don’t you keep your mouth shut and let me do my job? How about that?

Andrew Kelley, not able to muster out a word, shakes his head quickly. Jack releases him and he drops down. Henderson walks off to fight in his match, leaving Kelley to catch his breath.

The camera's open up to the inside of the arena, where we see various managers walking around the backstage area. Scarlet Raine, and Shinya Nori just to name a few. The staff are seen working the corners real hard, as not let locals slip by into the private dressing room area of the wrestlers. And, to a greater extent, the staff is really trying to keep LEGACY's or more importantly Marcus Marion's groupie teens from slipping to the backstage area again. Theirs a modest amount of attention payed to these limelight suckers, so the camera cuts directly to it.

STAFF WORKER: We can't let you two back there. Orders are orders. We've been getting a shitload of mail delivered from concerned parents about us "letting" you children run wild on our programming. Gives us a bad image. Makes it seem like on the marquee it's a mini brothel instead of a wrestling show.

Joelle, flutters her eyes trying to sway the staff worker to let she and her older twin sister to the back to pay a visit to former World Champion, Marcus Marion. Her efforts are in vain, as any progress toward manipulating this guy is a no-show. Maria, noticing the vibe adds her query.

MARIA ROBINS: You can't do this! How do you sleep at night? Don't you know who we are? We are the executive consultants of an institution in Marcus Marion. Our parents paid good money to get us on the show. So let us through tubby!

Maria tries to barge her way through but is easily picked up by the waist and planted back down on the ground after Joelle begins to "attack" the staff member with tiny slaps that don't even phase the three-hundred plus pound staff member.

JOELLE ROBINS: This is definitely discrimination. I looked it up, so yeah I know what I'm talking about. Fine. We were thinking about taking you to the back and topping you off. But that’s NOT gonna happen there buddy.

The staff member looks at the five-foot-five inch twins and rolls his eyes a bit, paying little attention to there shiesty sexual advances. He says...

STAFF MEMBER: You girls bought a ticket to the show right? You can watch it from the audience like everyone else. I repeat you are NOT allowed back here. So take your tickets out of your little pursues find which ever row you were assigned and sit in it! That's it. Case closed.

The twins throw up there arms in surrender. Five minutes have gone by and they've broken little ground. Both say these words at the same time, and look at one another in campy fashion afterward.

TWINS: FINE!

At this point in defeat the girls turn toward one another and walk away with there heads held down. That blonde frumpy late 80's, early 90's groupie girl distinguishes them from the rest of the women working for LEGACY. With there little heads held down, Joelle says in her adorable little voice.

JOELLE ROBINS: Guess it's back to playing with our Barbies?

On that comment, with there heads still hung low, but girls abruptly bump into Herbert Moxley, and former LEGACY ring announcer Jen X. Moxley is carrying his LEGACY World Tag Team title over his should and has his free arm around Jen who is wearing a conservative floral summer dress. Startled the twins grip one another in slight fear. Herb and Jen X pause and glance at the Robins twins, then glance at one another.

Moxley: Hey look sweetie, it’s the Olson twins. Can we get an autograph? I'm a big fan.

Jen X: You should see his apartment. He has ALL the tapes.

Herb gives Jen X a playful nudge in the ribs.

Moxley: Not in front of the camera sweetie (wink)

That previous look of fear look in the twin’s eyes disappears and what we see now is puppy brown eyes of disgust. Joelle looks at Moxley and says adjusting her green scrunchy.

JOELLE ROBINS: Leave us alone! Olson Twins? Real original you tool! Nicole warned us about you. She told us to beware the Ides of dork. You've got NOTHING to say to us, so take a hike.

Maria looks at her sister, impressed with her stern tone. Maria then looks at Jen X and says...

MARIA ROBINS: Where'd you get her from, an antique sale? You two are like as old as disco. That belt it's nice I suppose. But it’s no World title. Since Susan and Nicole couldn't be here, on behalf of the Media Whores, Moxley, we are officially putting a hex on your upcoming match. Your SOO gonna lose tonight big boy!

Moxley: Hmm, I heard about this. Apparently Marion is so hated now he has to recruit an army of skanks to assist in his trash talking escapades. We must think of a clever comeback ASAP.

Moxley and Jen look at one another for a moment.

Moxley: I got one! ... OH MY GOSH! THEY CAN SPEAK! How nice of Marcus to teach these tricks, tricks. Haha! Like they say on the backstreets of Montreal - SNAP DIGGITY!!

Herb turns to Jen X.

Moxley: Get it sweetie? Tricks, tricks? As in loose, provocative, female teases? And-

Jen X giggles but can't help rolling her eyes.

Jen X: I get it Herb

The Twins both look at Moxley with their mouths needing to be picked up from the floor. Both are flustered and say at the same time...

TWINS: WHATEVER! Talk to the hand!

At this moment both girls have "angered" one another. Older twin Maria chimes in...

MARIA ROBINS: Joelle, stop repeating after me!

JOELLE ROBINS: NO. YOU STOP!

Distracted from the "task" at hand, both girls frustrated turn their anger inward and begin fighting amongst themselves.

MARIA ROBINS: Gimme my brain back!

JOELLE ROBINS: Screw you! Gimme my face back!

Moxley: Talk to the hand? Speaking of hands... It looks like a case of Marcus Marion Molestation has driven you kids stir crazy. I get the feeling that sleaze may have touched you girls in ways that make you feel uncomfortable. Do you know about the good touch and bad touch areas? Let me use Jen here for a demonstration.

Moxley’s hands hover in front of Jen X. She shoots daggers at him with her eyes.

Jen X: Don’t even think about it.

Moxley: Er, on second thought perhaps this is no joking matter. You girls do realize you're setting a bad example for a lot of young women, right?

The twins stop there bickering for the briefest of seconds. Joelle looks at Moxley and says...

JOELLE ROBINS: Don't care. Where we are from, we don't get much fan mail.

Maria adds to her little sister’s comeback with...

MARIA ROBBINS: Yup. Marcus Marion is the straw that stirs the drink here in LEGACY. Whatever he does, the WHOLE world grabs a coke and watches. Can't fault the man for being as unbelievably great as he is. And not to mention, toned. 'Gawd that man's body drives me wild!

Maria flutters her eyes. Joelle picking up on this hugs her older twin, as they have now obviously made up. And they both go into fantasy island together with thoughts of their platinum blonde idol. Moxley takes Jen by the hand and together they take a few steps back.

Moxley: Lost cause?

Jen X: I am afraid so.

Jen sighs and shakes her head. She and Herb walk off with the twins barely noticing as both are too swept up and dreamy eyed with visions of Marcus Marion.

Mark Perletta: As the first Iron Man match we've seen in LEGACY of any kind, let alone on a weekly show and not a pay per view event, I wasn't sure what to expect going into this match.

Landon Savage: Given the fact that Jack Henderson doesn't have a wrestling background, you'd have every reason to question how well he was going to do inside a match of this type.

Joey C: Not only that, but traditionally Iron Man Matches favor the younger wrestlers, and lets face it, Jack Henderson is no spring chicken.

Mark Perletta: Jack Henderson certainly at least a decade older than Nicholas Creed, but the reason why I knew Henderson stood a chance in this match is because in reality, the age of the competitor doesn't matter as much as the physical fitness of a competitor. Age typically affects cardio fitness, but from what I've seen from Jack thus far, that didn't seem like it was going to be a problem.

Landon Savage: He's not a tubby guy, that's for sure, and I wouldn't be surprised if he competed in triathalons in his spare time, but even if he does, despite all the punishment your body goes through during those type of things, I guarantee you that Jack Henderson has never... EVER... had a guy like Nicholas Creed gunning for him for 30 minutes like we saw here tonight.

Mark Perletta: Not only that, but as things got started Nicholas Creed went right to work, irish whipping Henderson back and forth from one turnbuckle to the next, holding on to the whip a moment longer than normal to ensure that Henderson went into the corner chest first.

Joey C: We've seen it a hundred times or more the past few years, when a guy hits those turnbuckles chest first that hard more than once in the span of a match, it takes a lot out of them.

Mark Perletta: Not only did Jack Henderson hit those turnbuckles hard chest first more than a couple times this match, he got sent into them three times in the first five minutes of this match, and he still had over twenty minutes to go!

Landon Savage: I don't envy the guy, but then again, I'm also not the one who decided to start up a career like this. Jack Henderson had a shot against Creed last week, he knows what Creed is capable of doing. I'm sure he did his homework to find out what an Iron Man Match was all about. If he didn't think he stood a chance, he should've declined this match. He didn't, and so I CAN'T feel sorry for anything he went through in the course of this match.

Mark Perletta: No one's asking anyone to feel sorry for Jack Henderson, and although Nicholas Creed did a lot of damage during the first six minutes of the match, Jack Henderson wasn't going to just lay down for Nicholas Creed.

Landon Savage: No he didn't, and when Creed went for a kick, Jack Henderson blocked it and took that as an opening, just laying into Creed with two quick punches as he came in and tackled him down to the mat.

Joey C: Once down on the mat, Jack Henderson was able to control things a bit from there using some of the MMA type mounted punching and opponent control techniques we've seen from him in his first two matches.

Mark Perletta: And they certainly were effective. Using the mounted stance and punches, Jack Henderson was able to keep Nicholas Creed on his back slightly past the ten minute mark in this match, throwing in a shot to the ribs here and there, shots that took their toll on Creed.

Landon Savage: Getting one of his legs into position, Creed was able to disrupt Jack's balance, giving him an opening to shove Henderson out of the way, giving him an opportunity to get back to his feet, and it's a good thing he did, because his ribs were taking a beating.

Joey C: Out of everything we've seen from Creed, one of the things I was most surprised by was how he was basically able to ignore the pain he was obviously feeling from the shots he had taken to the ribs, with huge purple marks in the shape of fists emblazen on his sides.

Mark Perletta: My ribs hurt just looking at it, but no, Joey, you're right, the damage done to his ribs didn't slow Creed down at all, although it did make it a little harder for him to raise his arms, and with his finisher as the full nelson pick-up into a urinage slam, that's something he would obviously need to resolve if he wanted to keep his Tao of Valor Championship belt.

Landon Savage: Did it ultimately stop Nicholas Creed from using the REIGN OF SIN? No, but the damage Jack Henderson did to Creed's ribs did make it so Creed had to wait a little longer, letting the pain subside a bit, before he even wanted to attempt to use the move.

Mark Perletta: After the two slammed each other around the ring with various suplexes and takedowns, Nicholas Creed did attempt to lock Jack Henderson in for the REIGN OF SIN, but as he got one of Jack's arms up, Henderson was able to avoid getting fully locked into the hold and was actually able to twist it around and lock Creed into a hammerlock before kicking him in the back of the leg and forcing him down to the mat.

Joey C: It may have kept Creed from hitting the REIGN OF SIN at that point, but putting Creed into a hammerlock and forcing him down to the mat at about sixteen minutes into this match might not have been the best idea for Jack Henderson.

Landon Savage: I'd have to agree. Locking in that hammerlock did ZERO damage to the ribs of Nicholas Creed, the spot that Jack Henderson had done the most damage to up until that point, and it gave Creed the chance to rest up those muscles a bit.

Mark Perletta: The hammerlock DID have an affect on Creed's shoulder, however, which did come into play later in the match, but as strong as Creed is, Henderson couldn't keep him on the mat with that hammerlock forever, and Creed started working his knees underneath him, Jack doing whatever he could to keep that hammerlock on.

Joey C: In some ways Creed was doing Jack Henderson a favor by trying to get back to his feet. You saw it last week, guys, a time-limit draw doesn't win championships, and if Jack Henderson was hoping to become the Tao of Valor Champion, he wasn't going to win any falls in this Iron Man Match with a hammerlock.

Landon Savage: That just shows the inexperience of Jack Henderson - wanting to control the flow and tempo of the match but not necessarily giving enough thought to how to finish Creed off, and that's not good news for Jack, especially as Creed worked his way back up to his feet.

Mark Perletta: Once back on his feet, Nicholas Creed was able to reach over his shoulder, grab Jack Henderson with his free arm, pulling Jack in close and hitting a stunner type maneuver, forcing Jack to release the hold. At that point Nicholas Creed stomped on Jack Henderson a couple of times, weakening him up, and then after letting Henderson get back to his feet, that's when Creed went for the REIGN OF SIN.

Joey C: After locking in the full nelson, for the second match in a row Jack Henderson was able to use the ropes to his advantage, keeping Creed from being able to lift him up off the mat. The full nelson was doing damage to Henderson, but before Creed could get him up off the mat, Henderson rocked back with a headbutt catching Creed on the jaw, forcing him to let Jack go.

Landon Savage: Not properly anticipating how much it would hurt to headbutt someone in the jaw with the back of your head, Jack Henderson didn't get far enough away from Creed after getting out of the hold, and very quickly thereafter Creed rushed in and nailed Henderson in the back with a clubbing blow, and from there was able to grab Jack into the full nelson, lifted him up, hit the REIGN OF SIN and then dropped down to the mat and scored the first pinfall.

Winner of First Fall : Nicholas Creed

Score: Nicholas Creed = 1; Jack Henderson = 0

Mark Perletta: As it came at about the twenty minute mark, the first fall seemed like it could very well be the only fall scored in the entire match, especially after how things transpired on July 13th when these two last met, with no falls occurring in 15 minutes worth of back and forth battling.

Landon Savage: After getting pinned for the first time in his career, it looked almost as if a switch was thrown inside of Jack Henderson, and he really picked up his game.

Mark Perletta: Something I didn't know about going into this match is that by ruling of the LEGACY front office, there is a mandatory 15 second "round break" after all falls in Iron Man Matches, that time not counting towards the overall time limit of the match. The "game clock", if you will, stops and waits while another clock counts down the 15 seconds, during which time the winner of the fall is forced to stand and wait in the corner furthest from where the fall occurred. Once that 15 seconds is up, the match resumes, no matter what condition either of the competitors is in.

Landon Savage: A slight variation on the Iron Man Match which some people are going to like while others do not, from what I understand the implementation of the 15 second rule was suggested by the I.B.S. consulting team of Douglas, Dominic, and Wellington, and it just makes sense when you think about it. What would've kept Nicholas Creed from hitting another REIGN OF SIN after the pinfall and then picking up ANOTHER pinfall victory? Nothing but the 15 second rule.

Joey C: When the match started going again, Nicholas Creed moved in and went right for Jack Henderson, who was working his way up off the mat, and Marky, this is where that switch you mentioned seemed to go on. As soon as Creed got to him, Jack Henderson rose up off the mat with a forearm shot to the ribs, followed up by a fist to the rib, then a knee-lift to the ribs as Henderson got back to his feet. After a forearm shot to the face, it was Creed who landed down on the mat with Jack Henderson standing on his feet.

Mark Perletta: Creed didn't stay on his back for long, though, but when he got back up to his feet he got hit with a couple of hard right hands and knee-lifts to the ribs from Jack Henderson, getting in a left hand to the face that rocked Jack back in between those rights and knee-lifts, but Henderson was able to follow it up with a hard clothesline down to the mat.

Landon Savage: When Creed got back to his feet, we saw something that we've yet to see in LEGACY thus far, as Jack Henderson got in behind Nicholas Creed and pulled him down to the mat after locking in a rear naked choke, and having him locked into the hold in the center of the ring, Jack Henderson became the first person to score a fall over Creed in LEGACY, getting him to tap out.

Winner of Second Fall : Jack Henderson

Score: Nicholas Creed = 1; Jack Henderson = 1

Joey C: And he tapped out quickly, too, and I'll tell you why. It was a smart move on Creed's part. He knew he was in the middle of the ring, he knew he wasn't going to get out of that hold, and he also knew that he wasn't going to want to stay in that hold for the seven minutes remaining in the match. The longer he would stay in the hold, the more pain he was going to be in from it, and that would lessen his chances of winning the third fall.

Mark Perletta: Nicholas Creed has benefitted immeasurably from the mentorship provided by Eric Wolfson, and it's moves like this that show that fact.

Joey C: Eric Wolfson's one of the best, a former World Champion who has done wonders for the career of Nicholas Creed, and I think before it's all said and done with, Nicholas Creed will be a World Champion.

Start : Footage from the Match

The time limit having expired, Creed and Jack Henderson lock up in the middle of the ring and Creed nails him with a forearm shot. Creed then goes for an irish whip but Henderson is able to reverse it, sending Creed into the corner instead, following him in and nailing him with a running shoulder to the ribs.

Mark Perletta: Good move there by Jack Henderson, continuing to target the ribs of Nicholas Creed..

Joey C: He may have done more damage, but it doesn't look like it has totally slowed Creed!

Creed grabs Henderson by the head and punches him right in the jaw. From there Creed grabs Jack by the head and nails him with a rising knee to the gut, doubling him over. Creed then pulls Henderson in and nails him with a knee to the face. Then another. As he goes for a third, Jack Henderson blocks it and tackles Creed down to the mat.

Mark Perletta: Henderson with a nice takedown, now getting in a few forearms to the face and some mounted punches to the ribs... but Nicholas Creed rolls over and slams his forearm right into Jack's face!

Lifting Jack off the mat, Creed drops him down onto his knee with a backbreaker, and then starts stomping down onto his back. Grabbing Jack Henderson by the head, Creed lifts his opponent up off the mat and then straight up into the air, holds him straight up and down for four seconds... and then DROPS him straight down into the RULE OF OBLIVION brainbuster, then spins around and hooks Jack Henderson's leg...

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Winner of Third Fall : Nicholas Creed

Score: Nicholas Creed = 2; Jack Henderson = 1

Mark Perletta: Nicholas Creed scoring a second pinfall, hitting the finishing move of his mentor, Eric Wolfson, as he couldn't lock in the REIGN OF SIN for a second time.

Joey C: Jack Henderson might've done a good job of damaging Creed's ribs, but that didn't keep him from scoring a second fall... and I don't think there's going to be much time left for Jack Henderson to try to score another fall to tie things up.

After the fifteen second break is over, Nicholas Creed remains in his corner, watching as Jack Henderson struggles to get to his feet. Creed calls over and asks the referee how much time is left, and with less than a minute left on the clock, Creed just remains in his corner, a slightly satisfied look on his face. As Jack Henderson gets to his feet, the referee looks at his watch, stares at it for about five seconds, and then calls for the bell.

Winner by a count of 2 falls to 1 and STILL Tao of Valor Champion:
Nicholas Creed

Mark Perletta: Once again Nicholas Creed is successful in a Tao of Valor Title defense, and in doing so, he picks up another token, and he now holds two of those tokens, and if he is able to collect the other two, he'll have himself a guaranteed shot at the LEGACY World Title.

Joey C: And how exactly does anyone think that ANYONE on this roster is going to stop Nicholas Creed from doing that?

Landon Savage: The guy got something of a challenge here tonight, but as you all witnessed, he stepped up, met that challenge head on, and even though Jack Henderson came close, Nicholas Creed once again prevailed. If he gets his guaranteed shot at the LEGACY World Title... we could see a new champion.

In front of a LEGACY sign we find Andrew Kelley standing, mic in hand, with Matt Larcen standing next to him.

Andrew Kelley: I am here with Matt Larcen, hoping for a chance to get to know one of LEGACY’s newest superstars. Hi Matt, how are you?

Matt Larcen: Are you fucking queer or something?

Andrew Kelley: Well, no-

Matt Larcen: What the fuck kind of company is this? Are you my bitch they sent as reward for beating the piss out of that fucking cheerleader boy last week?

Andrew Kelley: No, I’m-

Matt Larcen: No queer bait needed here. Ass clown.

Andrew Kelley: Listen-

Matt Larcen: NO YOU LISTEN. THIS FUCKING COMPANY HAS BEEN DICKING ME AROUND FROM DAY ONE. I AM WAY TOO FUCKING GOOD TO BE PUT IN A MATCH WITH SOME FAGGOT WHO NEVER FOUGHT BEFORE. I AM WAY TO FUCKING GOOD TO DEBUT IN A SHIT HOLE LIKE CANADA. I AM WAY TO FUCKING GOOD TO BE DEALING WITH QUEER BAIT LIKE YOU.

Andrew Kelley: Why the issues with Canada?

Matt Larcen: HEY JACK ASS. IF CANADA DIDN’T SUCK THE UNITED STATES WOULD HAVE CLAIMED IT A LONG TIME AGO.

Booing from the Canadian crowd can be heard all the way from the inside of the arena.

Andrew Kelley: And you aren’t happy with your victory over Cian Randal?

Matt Larcen: The match? That was 30 seconds of my life I’ll never get back. But I bet you heard that before from your fucking wife.

Andrew Kelley: My wife? I thought you said I was gay.

Matt Larcen: FUCKING SMART ASS FUCK!! GET THE FUCK OUT BEFORE I FUCKING CHOKE YOUR FUCKING HEAD!!

Andrew Kelley leaves in a hurry. Larcen starts to look around for something to punch.

The camera switches back to the shot of the ring as if we're going to see our next match, when suddenly a song starts to play over the speakers that sounds like the introductory music to a World News program on one of the major TV networks. The camera switches over to show the entrance stage where Wellington, Dominic, and Douglas walk out from backstage. The fans have a mixed reaction when they see the consultants from Image and Branding Services walk down the isle in their fashionable attire, each one wearing a similar yet individually trendy shirt and tie combination, all including some hint of orange, pink, or baby blue. They're all wearing dark suits that probably cost around $1000 a pop.

Wellington, the youngest of the three and apparently of Asian descent, seems to be the only one of the consultants who is acknowledging the fans response at all. The other two simply walk down to the ring, walking up the ring steps and getting into the ring. Wellington follows soon after them, with Dominic noticing him lagging behind a bit and urging him to hurry up. Once in the ring, Douglas pulls a microphone out of his coat pocket.

Douglas: Now I know that we've been gone for a few weeks, and IBS Consulting has received plenty of email asking us where we went or if our job regarding LEGACY was finished, but I assure you, there are still a couple more things yet to be launched that we're working on, but two of those things... kick off tonight.

There is a moderate response from the crowd as they hear that they are going to witness some "new-ness" in LEGACY live here tonight. Dominic walks over and takes the spot that Douglas just vacated, allowing his Senior Consultant to be in front of the camera.

Dominic: Some of the changes that have been made in LEGACY based on our recommendations have been popular ones. The Tao of Valor Championship, the No Limits Title, the addition of Landon Savage to the announce and recap team. Some of the changes made based on our recommendations have been less than popular, namely the removal of Jen X as the ring announcer.

The fans in the arena let out a low chorus of boos, showing that, while they're not still mad about it, they're certainly not happy with the decision. Dominic starts nodding his head.

Dominic: I COMPLETELY understand where you're coming from. I think she's a real cute girl, I hear she's very nice, and if it weren't COMPLETELY unprofessional of me to do so, I would've given her one of my business cards with my cell phone number on it and she and I could've gone to a happy hour sometime. Who knows, a few Apple Martinis, maybe a Margarita, possibly some Tequilla Shots...

Douglas walks over and gets Dominic's attention, and then Dominic realizes he needs to get back on track.

Dominic: Ever since we convinced the LEGACY front office that a replacement for Jen X needed to be made, we have been hosting open casting calls, doing tons of market research, interviewing countless gorgeous women, and what we've got are 12 finalists.

The camera shows Wellington, who can barely contain his giddiness. It then switches back over to Dominic.

Dominic: The ladies we've narrowed it down to come from various parts of the world but are all, well, HOT, and all could do a great job here in LEGACY as the ring announcer replacement for Jen X, but we felt like it shouldn't be up to US to make the determination... we felt like it shouldn't be up to the FRONT OFFICE to make the determination... So our recommendation to the front office... which they accepted... is that the finalists will be voted on by YOU THE FANS on the LEGACY website (forums), and each week we'll cut the list in half until we narrow it down to three, and at that time a winner will be chosen. Check the LEGACY website (forums) for the pictures and a brief bio of each of the lovely ladies - one of whom WILL BECOME the NEXT ring announcer here in LEGACY.

There's a buzz about the arena.

Wellington: I can tell you're excited about that, I'm excited too. Another thing I'm VERY excited about, though admittedly not AS excited about those twelve SMOKIN' hot choices for ring announcer, has to do with the LEGACY website. Ever since mid April when LEGACY launched its website, let's face it, it has been both DULL and INADEQUATE. I was tasked with giving the LEGACY website a new look and feel to it, adding in a few bells and whistles, and I attacked that task head on and made great progress... until my web designer had a system failure and lost all of the progress we had made. Bummer, I know. Since then I enlisted the help of a few friends of mine and the website we've been working on is KICKIN'! That said, there are still some things about it that we're working to update, and while the site isn't QUITE finished yet, it's at a spot now where it's good enough to replace that old, pathetic website you're used to seeing, and I've been told that at some point this week, some IT guy working for Belote Enterprises is going to flip a switch and the new and improved LEGACY website is going to be launched, COMPLETE with the LEGACY Merch site where you can shop online to buy great LEGACY items such as DVD's and SHIRTS, not to mention that you can track the progress being made on the LEGACY video game!

There are some cheers amongst the crowd and Douglas steps back up.

Douglas: We're sorry for all of the delays experienced regarding this process, but we assure you that prior to the next show, you will have a new LEGACY website, the LEGACY Merch online store, not to mention the chance to vote on all the lovely ladies, one of whom WILL BE the next ring announcer here in LEGACY.

A modest response from the crowd is given and the IBS consultants leave the ring as their music plays over the speakers. Halfway up the isle Dominic gets back on the mic and the music fades down.

Dominic: Oh, and one more thing... The pay per view event coming up on September the 10th... it's currently listed as "Un-named". That's going to be changing at the August 6th event. Stay tuned.

The buzz amongst the fans in the arena pick up as the consultants head to the backstage area and the cameras cut back over to the recap position where Perletta, Joey C, and Savage all sit in the studio behind their desk.

Mark Perletta: Big announcement there by the Image and Branding Services consultants, and I can't wait to see who the 12 finalists are for the ring announcer contest.

Landon Savage: We aren't going to get sued, are we? Because I see that as being a bad thing.

Mark Perletta: Sued? LEGACY? By whom? On what grounds?

Landon Savage: Oh, I don't know, the WWE? The fact that they've got their "Diva Search" and we've got our "Ring Announcer Search".

Joey C: If we get sued by them, they should get sued by American Idol and the Miss America pageant. All we're doing is having a contest to see which beautiful and talented woman the fans want to see as the next ring announcer, that's all. It's not like we're just having some contest to see which bimbo we add to our "cast of characters" like Vince McMahon is doing. Hell, we don't have anything to worry about. American Idol and WWE Diva Search both have a goofy looking frat-boy host guy, and we've got... well.... consultants. That's different enough.

Mark Perletta: I don't think there's going to be any problem. Contests like these happen all the time. In fact when I signed on to my instant messager program the other day, the pop-up window I got showed me various hot bartenders from all over the country, letting me vote for which one I thought was the hottest.

Landon Savage: So who did "BigDaddyMarkyMark69" vote for?

Mark shakes his head and the camera switches over to a shot of the ring.

Mark Perletta: When I originally heard that this match had been signed and saw how that situation went down between Smith Cartwright and the Bushido Buntai backstage after last week's show, I wasn't sure how the fans were going to respond to the Bushido Buntai getting a shot at the World Tag Team Titles, especially since most of them haven't seen what the Bushido Buntai did back in Japan.

Landon Savage: Yeah, well that's the thing with this business. You bring in guys like the Bushido Buntai, the smarks who buy tapes online to watch the Japanese shows, they know guys like Katsuro Yoshida, Osamu Hayashi, and Shinya Nori. They get psyched to see these guys here in the states, but the common fans, who make up about 85% of the people watching each week, they don't know the Bushido Buntai apart from guys like Hakushi or Kaz Hayashi or Masahiro Chono or even The Great Muta. They're clueless, and so you expect that they're not going to react well to matches like this being signed, despite the fact that this is a huge match.

Mark Perletta: Much to my surprise, in a poll conducted on the LEGACY website forums, the fans voted this match into a tie for the match they were most anticipating, right up there with the match between Greyson Blade and Dan Stein in the main event.

Landon Savage: That's saying a lot, Marky, and this match didn't disappoint.

Mark Perletta: No it did not, and right off the opening bell the action got started quick, with Katsuro Yoshida taking the offensive right to D.J. Cassidy.

Joey C: Despite the fact that going into this match the Revenge of the Nerds were the champions and the Bushido Buntai were the challengers, the way things got started didn't surprise me one bit. Essentially the start of every tag team match is a singles match, and I don't know how many people would pick D.J. Cassidy to beat Katsuro Yoshida in a one-on-one match based solely on what we've seen from him here in LEGACY.

Mark Perletta: Well D.J. Cassidy has done well for himself so far here in LEGACY, both in singles contests as well as tag team contests, but one thing he hasn't done is to challenge for the World Title, something that Katsuro Yoshida nearly got the chance to do, even scoring what some considered to be a huge upset over Stephen Rawlings a few weeks ago.

Landon Savage: Anybody "in the know" realizes that it wasn't an upset, but rather a case of Stephen Rawlings taking on one of the world's finest competitors and coming up short.

Mark Perletta: Well he didn't come up short on July 13th when they squared off in a Submissions Match, but more on that for another time. The fallout from that match, which is relevant right now, was that the Bushido Buntai wanted to get another opportunity to prove themselves to the North American fans, and that's how they ended up with this match.

Joey C: And the first five minutes of this match was just more of the same from Katsuro, showing people that he is one of the top guys in this organization, just completely dismantling D.J. Cassidy, who tried as hard as he could to get over to his corner to make the tag, though Katsuro Yoshida wouldn't let that happen.

Mark Perletta: Oddly enough it was when Katsuro Yoshida tagged his partner, Osamu Hayashi, into the match, that D.J. Cassidy got the opportunity he needed to tag in Herb Moxley, who came into the ring with a head of steam and just plowed right over Osamu Hayashi with a couple of quick double-team clotheslines with Cassidy.

Landon Savage: After what I'd seen on tapes of him from his matches back in Japan, I was surprised and disappointed to see how Osamu Hayashi has done so far here in LEGACY, first losing to Aaron Beaudway and now not performing very well here in this tag match.

Joey C: I think it's safe to say it: Osamu Hayashi dragged his team down here tonight and really hurt their chances of becoming World Tag Team Champions.

Mark Perletta: Had both members of Bushido Buntai been competing like Osamu Hayashi did, they wouldn't have stood a chance, but Osamu Hayashi wasn't in the match the entire time, and when Katsuro Yoshida was in the ring, he was dominant.

Landon Savage: You're damn right he was, and at times it looked as though Katsuro Yoshida could win this match all on his own, but each time he started to wear down one of the Nerds, he would go and tag in Osamu Hayashi to get in the match, and then things just fell apart again.

Mark Perletta: Part of that reason based obviously on the fact that the Revenge of the Nerds are one of the top tag teams in the business right now and they worked together with quick tags and double-team maneuvers to work over Osamu Hayashi well.

Joey C: That, and Katsuro Yoshida looked to be a bit hesitant to use double-team maneuvers during this match, simply exiting out onto the apron each of the times he tagged Osamu into the match.

Mark Perletta: How would that play into the finale of the match? Let's find out...

Start : Footage from the Match

DJ Cassidy comes charging off the ropes with a ton of momentum after being irish whipped by Yoshida. Katsuro goes for a clothesline but Cassidy ducks it and keeps running. DJ hits the opposite ropes and lets his momentum carry him towards the middle of the ring but he's met by a stiff sidekick from Katsuro right to the chest, knocking him backwards and down to the mat. Yoshida charges in and drops an elbow right to the sternum of his opponent, right where he connected with that sidekick. From there Katsuro grabs Cassidy by the arm, lifts him to his feet and twists his arm into a standing armbar.

Mark Perletta: Katsuro Yoshida going right after the chest area of DJ Cassidy, and now he's walking over towards his corner.

Landon Savage: Osamu Hayashi getting the tag in. Kid, you better pull your weight this time...

Joey C: Hayashi going to the top rope...

Once on the top rope, Osamu Hayashi jumps off and kicks D.J. Cassidy in the chest on the way down as Katsuro Yoshida holds him there in the standing armbar, letting go just in time to let Cassidy fall to the mat. Yoshida exits the ring allowing Osamu to capitalize on his own, and he picks Cassidy back up to his feet. Hayashi goes for the lockup but Cassidy blocks it and then ducks in behind Hayashi and goes for a belly to back suplex. Hayashi is able to block it before firing backwards, nailing Cassidy in the chin with a back elbow smash, and then Hayashi steps to the side, grabs Cassidy by the head and takes him down with a snapmare.

Mark Perletta: Cassidy nearly gaining control there and you have to wonder why Osamu Hayashi decided to pick him right back up off the mat and not try to further capitalize.

As D.J. Cassidy works his way up to his feet, Osamu Hayashi runs towards the ropes, picking up momentum, and on the return he goes for a flying, spinning heel kick, but as he does so, Cassidy has just enough time to see the attempt coming and he ducks underneath it.

Mark Perletta: Osamu landing hard on his back, a long way away from his own corner where Katsuro Yoshida is waiting for the tag.

Cassidy works his way up to his feet and grabs Hayashi and works to pull him back up to a vertical base, and once he's completely back up, Cassidy bends Osamu backwards into a position to set up for a reverse DDT, but as he does so, D.J. tags in Herb Moxley, who starts climbing the rope. Cassidy then lifts Osamu up from the reverse ddt position and up onto his shoulders into a fireman's carry position, then drops him onto his head into a Death Valley Driver. Not letting go of Osamu's head, Cassidy locks in a dragon sleeper-hold, and just as he does that, Herb Moxley flips backwards and lands a moonsault down onto Hayashi's chest, sending him into the mat. Not wasting a moment, Moxley makes the cover...

ONE!!

TWO!!!

THREE!!!!

Winner by PINFALL and STILL World Tag Team Champion :
Herb Moxley & D.J. Cassidy - The Revenge of the Nerds

Mark Perletta: DJ Cassidy and Herb Moxley picking up another huge tag team victory as they successfully defend their World Tag Team Titles, and Moxley couldn't look happier.

Joey C: Well Moxley couldn't, but look at D.J. Cassidy. Sure, he looks happy about the win, but he doesn't look all that pleased about something...

Mark Perletta: I think you're seeing things that just aren't there. D.J. Cassidy just fought a hard fought battle, and being in there for most of the last four minutes or so, I imagine that Cassidy is more worn out than Herb Moxley and thusly doesn't look as excited by the win.

THUD!

THUD!

SMACK!!

SMACK!!

Sound a little off kelter? Those are the sounds that we hear as the trons in the arena are a pitch black. No visages. No light shows. No images. The fans in the audience are taken aback by the harsh sounds, but their not exactly sure where its coming from. Placing a finger on the culprit is definately a problem right now.

However, unlike any great magician, the crowd will in time figure out who, or what is behind this. The trons in the arena come to life. The camera circles the entire complex and focuses on the people in the seats. It even focuses in on the Robins Twins, who have finally made there way to there seats after the earlier run-in with the arena staff. The mood in the arena lingers, and is dark shade of arrogance. The fans boo on general principle as the tron comes to life. The twins cheer.

These words are seen:

"Pre-recorded"
July, 23rd, 2006.

The tron comes to life and what we are greeted to are a pair of feet. Two pair actually. Slender feet with silver toe-nail polish, that swivel around every so often. The crowd groans as they know just who those stems belong to. Susan and Nicole Rhodes. Cousins. Duets. Media Whores, all those names apply. The camera scans up and shows both valet's tending to former World Champion, Marcus Marion. Marion is seen to be in a very foul mood, as a silver platter tray lay mangled and contorted at the doorway of his kitchen.

MARCUS MARION: You don't get to see me this week. Not in person anyway. For the simple fact, I don't appreciate the lack of chain link fencing and pad locks on those LEGACY doors. So, by the time you get to hear this, all of you. Heh, you'll know why I've decided to boycott the show. John Thomas. Boy Wonder. Little Brother. The man jumped an arena guardrail, like a common street-thug. Ruins a PERFECTLY one-sided game of chess I was having with poor misguided Loco, and has the cahonies to dust off his overrated little "Finisher", heh, Rawlings, no pun intended.

Marion takes a few seconds off on his segment and at this point the crowd goes into near bedlam and mass hysteria as they chant: JT!! JT!! JT!!

MARCUS MARION: What's funny is this, and damn I hate laughing when my neck...its hurting like hell!

The crowd cheers at Marion's ailment. The girls take to rubbing Marcus' shoulders. Susan rubbing more affectionately, as her boy-toy seems to be all but out of commission. Nicole, sticking to talking up Marion now, trying her best not to show too much affection toward Marion, and give away there secret fling and escapades together, to her older cousin.

MARCUS MARION: What's funny is, how LEGACY treats their “end-all be-all” just like an old pair of Nike Air Jordans, throwing me to the back of the closet. But you know what, LEGACY? When you least expect it, I have a pesky way of making headlines and making myself the center of attention. Don’t think that I’ve forgotten, in the wake of Dan Stein and Stephen Rawlings “earning” themselves World Title shots, that I still have MY guaranteed World Title shot in my back pocket. All in due time.

Marion grins, knowing that the fans aren’t happy about the truth of the situation, knowing Marcus is right about still having his guaranteed World Title shot after being the former World Champion.

MARCUS MARION: So I hear Thomas has a bit more pull in this company than I could have EVER imagined, he got an appointment with someone in the front office and apparently he's challenged me ONCE AGAIN to a match. For any of you with IQ levels above the stage of mental retardation, you understand how both stupid and rudimentary that is, and I feel the same. He hobbles his near crippled ass to the booking powers-that-be and they actually GIVE him this match!

Marion shakes his head in disappointment.

MARCUS MARION: So despite having PROVEN that he doesn’t belong in this business, despite PROVING that he can’t “hang” in the ring with yours truly, it looks like the kid doesn’t know “when to say when”. So on Aug, 6th in Portland, Maine, he and I will "lock horns" again… were I to accept the match and decide to show up. I know I'm gonna regret this in the morning, but Thomas, because I know you’re watching with your eye glued to the screen and hanging on every word… I accept your little match. Hell, not because I WANT to be caught in another tabloid with you, but because my intentions are clearly to let the world know how little you really matter to this sport. Plain and simple.

The fans at this point boo Marion, the decible reaching feverous pitches. The cameras once again strike a pose on the figures of Joelle and Maria Robins, who fawn over Marion. Their parents sit and grip onto their children tightly, trying to "restrain" them some how.

MARCUS MARION: You'll get your match. And you'll get your ass kicked too! Things have just begun to heat up. We have only just begun!

The seg cuts to a close at this point. Last thing we hear is, a mouthy arena, fed up with the antics of Mr. Platinum Blonde.

Mark Perletta: As this match got under way there didn't seem to be an ounce of fear in Tim Jones, looking confident of his chances.

Landon Savage: I bet he was on the same type of drugs that OJ Simpson was on during his murder trial. You know, the ones that make you SEEM really calm even when you're not. Stepping into the ring with Gryffin Anselm and not being scared - Jones was either on drugs or just really ignorant as to what Gryffin is capable of doing.

Joey C: Well he found out early on what Anselm was capable of doing as they locked up and Gryffin shoved him all the way across the ring twice in a row.

Mark Perletta: And I dare say that Gryffin Anselm found out what Tim Jones was capable of, as the Ladies Man charged right back in and went to work on Anselm, using fast kicks to the legs and right hands to wear Gryffin down.

Landon Savage: And did he fall? No, Gryffin Anselm took the beating from Jones, and yes, he was knocked down to one knee, but he got right back up and clotheslined Jones down to the mat.

Mark Perletta: This being a No Limits division match, the referee had to just stand back and watch as Gryffin started choking Tim Jones there on the mat, which Anselm followed up by picking Jones up, putting him over one of his shoulders, and then it looked as though Gryffin was going to throw him out of the ring over the top rope.

Joey C: Before he could, Tim Jones was able to escape, sliding down behind Gryffin, off his shoulder, and the Ladies Man surprised Gryffin by throwing HIM over the top rope and down to the floor.

Mark Perletta: Running in the opposite direction of where Gryffin landed, Jones hits the ropes and returns with a ton of momentum, and just as Anselm got up to his feet outside the ring, Tim Jones dives through the ropes, plowing into Gryffin and sending him back-first into the steel guardrail with a plancha.

Joey C: The Ladies Man gets back to his feet and he starts stomping in on Anselm, and then picks him up to his feet and irish whips him into the steel steps.

Landon Savage: Having enough sense in him to use that to his advantage, Gryffin picks up the steel steps and whips around, NAILING Tim Jones in the head with the steel steps, knocking him down to the ground. Gryffin drops the steps and moves in and stomps down on Tim Jones' abdominal section, causing him to curl up, trying to catch his breath.

Mark Perletta: From there Anselm goes underneath the ring and emerges with a table which he slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope, grabbing Jones up to his feet and sending him right in after it. Getting into the ring, Gryffin sets up the table, resting one end on the ground, the other end near the top turnbuckle, supported by the top ropes which meet at that corner.

Joey C: Things not looking too good here for the Ladies Man, not if Gryffin Anselm can make use of that table.

Mark Perletta: Gryffin pulling Tim Jones up to his feet now... Tim Jones with a hard right hand. Gryffin retaliates but Tim Jones ducks it... another hard right hand from Jones!

Landon Savage: Even as I watch the footage of it again, I couldn't believe the comeback made by Tim Jones, standing toe to toe with Gryffin Anselm.

Mark Perletta: Well as the match continued, Tim Jones and Gryffin Anselm continued to battle back and forth, the table remaining propped up in the corner, but by the end of the match, it would come into play...

Start : Footage from the Match

Turning and running towards the ropes, Tim Jones picks up a lot of momentum and heads back towards Gryffin, leaping into the air and he goes for a flying forearm attempt. Seeing it coming in time, Anselm drops down to the mat, avoiding the impact. Gryffin gets back to his feet, grabs Tim Jones by the head, lifts him up into the air, holds him there for about five seconds before drilling him into the mat with a jackhammer suplex.

Landon Savage: Gryffin Anselm with the Eliminator, and that's going to be it! This thing is over!

Mark Perletta: It potentially could've been over, Gryffin Anselm possibly could have picked up the win with that move, but we'll never know because Anselm wanted to do more damage, so he got back to his feet.

Grabbing Tim Jones by the head, Anselm drags Jones across the ring, getting closer to the corner where the table is resting, propped up at an angle against the top turnbuckle. As he goes to lift Jones up off the mat, Tim nails Gryffin with a hard right hand to the gut, then he stands up and rakes Gryffin's eyes. Before he can capitalize, though, Anselm shoves him away and rubs his eyes, trying to clear up his vision. As Tim Jones runs in and tries to keep on the attack, Anselm steps in and hits him with a knee to the gut, then he lifts The Ladies Man up onto his shoulders into a fireman's carry. As he goes for the Michinoku Driver, however, Jones shifts his momentum and ends up behind Gryffin. Grabbing Anselm around one of his legs, Tim Jones takes Gryffin down with a side suplex.

Mark Perletta: Nice move there by Tim Jones, putting Anselm down onto the mat!

Wanting to keep in on the attack, Tim Jones lifts Gryffin up to his feet, takes him by the arm and goes for an irish whip towards the corner where the table is set up, but Anselm holds on to his arm and reverses the irish whip, sending Tim Jones into the table. Not sending him in with enough force, the table doesn't break when Jones hits it. Noticing the table didn't break, Gryffin charges in and goes to spear Jones through the table, but Tim Jones moves out of the way just in time and Gryffin crashes through the table shoulder first.

Landon Savage: DAMN IT!!

Mark Perletta: Tim Jones moves out of the way and Gryffin Anselm crashes through that table himself!

Tim Jones sits on the mat, looking at Gryffin Anselm, who is in a significant amount of paid, having just crashed through the table, and he remains there, on the mat, catching his breath. Slowly, Jones tries to work his way to his feet. Suddenly, however, a man in a light blue mask with red trim and matching tights runs out down the entrance ramp and grabs Jones by the leg under the bottom rope, pulls him down to the mat and down to the outside. As Tim Jones tries to get to his feet after being dragged out to the arena floor, the man in the luchador mask gives him a low blow, then another, then clotheslines him down to the mat. Picking him up off the arena floor, the man in the mask throws Tim Jones into the ring underneath the bottom rope.

Mark Perletta: That masked man has done his damage and now Tim Jones is sent back into the ring, and this doesn't look good for Jones, not good at all.

Landon Savage: He was lucky to make it as far as he did in this match, don't feel sorry for him.

Mark Perletta: He potentially could've made it further, possibly even won this match and the No Limits Title, if it weren't for that masked man.

Both men down on the mat, the referee just stands back, waiting to see who will be the first to get to their feet. Slowly, Gryffin starts to move, forcing himself back up to his feet. Just before Anselm gets to his feet, Tim Jones starts to stir, trying to stand. As he gets to his feet, however, Jones is lifted up onto Gryffin's shoulders and then WHIPPED over into a Michinoku Driver and SLAMMED into the mat on the back of his neck!

Landon Savage: That's the Devastator! Tim Jones is done! Count it!

The referee slides into position as Gryffin reaches across and hooks the leg...

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Winner by PINFALL and STILL No Limits Champion :
William "Gryffin" Anselm

Mark Perletta: Yet another win here in LEGACY for Gryffin Anselm.

Landon Savage: Correct me if I'm mistaken, but my boy Anselm, he's undefeated here in LEGACY, right?

Joey C: That he is, but since when is he "your boy"?

Landon Savage: PLEASE, I've known William Gryffin Anselm for about six years or more. I've always had his back on things, he's always had mine.

Mark Perletta: Well tonight it looked like someone else had Gryffin's back, helping him pick up that win.

Landon Savage: You're not actually saying that you think Gryffin Anselm would've lost to Tim Jones if it weren't for that goof who ran out here, are you?

Mark Perletta: It sure helped, you have to admit that.

Landon Savage: It just merely helped speed up something that would've happened either way, Marky, and you know it. Gryffin Anselm is undefeated, and Tim Jones isn't going to be the one to break that streak.

Walking backstage after his match, Gryffin meets up with James Win, who was watching from one of the bigger, plasma monitors near the gorilla position. As the two walk back towards their locker room, they are approached by Eric Wolfson and Jake Dominion, neither one of whom is smiling.

Gryffin Anselm: Well well, you two boys don't exactly seem happy to see us now do you?

Anselm chuckles.

Gryffin Anselm: Could it have something to do with my naming of James Win and I the number one contenders to the tag titles last week?

Jake Dominion: You think you can just waltz up in here, name Win your partner and say you’re #1 contenders? You think you’re those damn Buntai's all of a sudden?!

Anselm, who was looking over at Wolfson, looks over at Dominion as he speaks up.

Jake Dominion: Speaking of those damn foreigners, who the hell do they know to get a fucking title shot before us?! Even before you guys..

Dominion rolls his eyes.

Gryffin Anselm: Been a long time, J.D. How long has it been? A few years at least. Nice to know you've still got a firey core underneath that ultra laid-back exterior of yours.

James Win: Whoa, hold up, forget about the Orient Express for a second, who pulled the two of you out of the closet and dusted you off, and furthermore, what makes either one of you think that you can speak to the All Star like this? The Golden One is DAMN sure he didn't just hear you say that the two of you are closer to a World Tag Title Shot than Gryffin Anselm and James Win are.

Win turns and looks at Dominion.

James Win: You're still trying to break that world record for most consecutive days high, aren't you?

Dominion incredulously looks over at Win momentarily, then back at Gryffin.

Jake Dominion: Is some little boy talking for you Gryffin? I didn't think so. You can bring you and your little golden child to the ring next week, after you're finished giving him a golden shower – the closest thing your pet is going to get to championship gold. Wolfson just came back from the front office and they've agreed to a match on next week's card between us and you to determine who the REAL #1 contenders are if you two are man enough to accept?

Dominion raises an eyebrow and then looks over at Win again.

Jake Dominion: And don't worry golden boy, when it's all said and done, you'll be smoked more than a crack-whore on her knees...

Dominion cracks a smile.

Jake Dominion: And Gryffin, after we beat you and run through the nerds, why don't I go old school on ya and take the No-Limits title from you just… because… I… can.

Gryffin looks over at Wolfson.

Gryffin Anselm: First of all, since Eric took the time out of his busy schedule of playing cheerleader to his little Tao of Valor Champion protege to actually try to set something up to get back into the ring, yeah, we'll accept your little challenge. August 6th, Number One Contender to the Tag Titles. You're on.

Anselm looks right at Dominion.

Gryffin Anselm: But as far as the No Limits Title is concerned... you're going to have to get in line if you want a shot at that, Ice.

Jake just smirks.

Jake Dominion: Whatever Will, even if I wanted it, which I don't, you'd be no match for me buddy...We'll see you and your golden bitch next week...

The scene switches now to a shot of the ring, and the ring bell sounds three times and a graphic shows up on the screen showing us what our next match of the night is.

Mark Perletta: Dan Stein was the first of the two competitors in our main event to walk down to the ring, and as you could expect, he looked angry, intense, and ready to get this match started.

Landon Savage: Dan Stein has been ready for this match ever since April 20th when LEGACY had its first show. You can see it in his eyes, you can hear it when he talks, Dan Stein is READY..

Joey C: For any doubters out there who think Dan Stein doesn't stand a chance going into this match, I refer their attention to the match between Stein and Greyson that took place a few weeks ago, a match that Dan Stein WON.

Mark Perletta: Trust me, that very fact isn't lost on EITHER Dan Stein OR Greyson Blade, the details of those matches running through the heads of both competitors, not to mention the fans, ever since this match was booked.

Joey C: As Stein waited in the ring for Greyson Blade to make his entrance, you could tell just how badly he wnated to get the match started, leaning over the ropes, yelling at Blade the entire way down the isle.

Landon Savage: Greyson Blade wasn't backing down at all, but he sure wasn't running down that isle. When he started climbing the ropes, Dan Stein had waited long enough, and he came out onto the apron to meet the World Champ head on.

Mark Perletta: I'm not entirely sure that was a good idea, because when he got out there, sure, he got in a few shots on Blade, knocking him down off the apron, but when he jumped down to meet Greyson, he was immediately clotheslined down to the arena floor.

Landon Savage: Greyson got a good advantage there, but I'd have to say he did a pathetic job of capitalizing on it, merely picking Stein up and gorilla press throwing him into the ring between the middle and top rope.

Mark Perletta: Well that at least gave Blade the chance to hand the World Title to the ring attendant, take off his shirt, and get into the ring without being attacked. Once he got into the ring, Stein was back on his feet and the two started trading punches.

Joey C: Well Greyson Blade might have gotten the early advantage with more strength behind his punches, but even after getting knocked down by three straight right hands, Dan Stein got right back up each of those times.

Landon Savage: The third time was the charm, however, because after ducking under a punch attempt by Greyson Blade, Dan Stein laid into Greyson with a kick to the groin that doubled him over, and a second one for good measure, putting Greyson down onto the mat.

Mark Perletta: Now in any other match, that would've been illegal, but in this, a No Holds Barred match, a low blow is completely legal. In fact, in this match, anything except for weapons goes.

Landon Savage: Knowing the rules and being the first to use them to his advantage, Dan Stein took control of this match and was able to do a considerable amount of damage to Greyson Blade, especially as he followed up that low blow by choking Blade with his forearm across Greyson's throat as Greyson was down on the mat.

Mark Perletta: Stein lets up on the chokehold, only to drop a guillotine legdrop down across Blade's throat. Wanting to keep in on the attack, Stein grabs Greyson by the arm and lifts him to his feet and nails him with a hard right hand, rocking Greyson back a step. Greyson steps back in and Stein goes for another one... but Blade blocks it and grabs Stein by the head and nails him with a huge headbutt, dropping him down off his feet.

Landon Savage: Not relenting one bit, Greyson stomps in on Stein a few times and then lifts him up to his feet, holding him with one arm and then nailing him with a hard right hand, not letting go, not letting Stein fall down to the mat.

Joey C: After choking Stein for about eight seconds, Greyson Blade lifts him up off of his feet, gorilla pressing him up and over his head, holding him up there for about five seconds, and then turning towards the center of the ring, and then drops him onto his shoulder and immediately powerslams him down to the mat!

Mark Perletta: How many times have we seen the World Champion do that to someone here in LEGACY or back in TTW? What incredible strength!

Landon Savage: Greyson Blade letting Dan Stein get back to his feet, then he grabs him by the arm and pulls him in right into a... NO! Greyson Blade going for the short arm clothesline, but Dan Stein ducks it... DROPKICK!!!

Mark Perletta: Dan Stein putting Greyson Blade down onto one knee but not letting up...

Landon Savage: Stein with the nice irish whip to send Greyson into the corner, and now he's going for the mounted punches.... 1! 2! 3! 4!

Joey C: Greyson Blade taking Dan Stein around the waist and PLANTING him into the mat with a spinebuster!

Landon Savage: Blade lifts Stein up off the mat and irish whips him hard into the corner, sending Stein in back first.

Mark Perletta: Greyson Blade charges in and goes for the running shoulderblock... but Dan Stein moves out of the way and Greyson Blade connects with the corner hard!

Start : Footage from the Match

As Greyson works his way to his feet in the corner, Dan Stein turns around and sees his opponent about to get back into it, so Stein runs full force towards the corner, leaps, and goes crashing into Greyson Blade, BOTH OF THEM FLIPPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE!!!

Mark Perletta: What impact on that flying clothesline tackle there by Dan Stein, and now both men are on the floor on the outside!

Landon Savage: What a brilliant move there by Stein, not giving Greyson Blade the opportunity to get back into it..

Joey C: When they hit the floor, I wondered who got the worst of it, but it looks like Stein is going to be the first of the two back to his feet.

Once he's back on his feet, Stein takes Greyson by the arm, lifts him to his feet and goes for an irish whip towards the steel guardrail, but Greyson reverses it and sends Stein towards the guardrail. Reacting as quickly as he can, Stein hops up and lands on the steel guardrail, and then flips backwards towards the ring in something of a moonsault. Landing on the apron just behind Greyson Blade, Stein grabs on to the top rope to keep him from falling, and as Blade turns around, Stein nails him with a kick to the back of the head, dropping Greyson to the arena floor.

Landon Savage: Nice athleticism there by Dan Stein, not only landing on the guardrail, but also flipping backwards onto the ring apron.

Joey C: Quite a stiff kick there to the side of Greyson's head there by Stein.... but Greyson is stirring on the ground...

Stein hops down off the apron, lifts Greyson up off the ground and shoves Blade back into the ring under the bottom rope, following him back into the ring. Once inside, Stein stands over Greyson and starts to stomp down on him into his shoulder, then flips Blade over and starts to choke him with his shin. Wanting to keep in on the attack, Stein picks Blade up to his feet, but as he does, Greyson nails him with a hard right hand. Stein gets back to his feet and Greyson nails him again. Stein slowly works his way back to his feet again and as Greyson goes for another hard right hand, Stein blocks it and whips him into the ropes. On the return Dan goes for a step-in rising shin kick to the head, but Blade hooks his arms on the ropes, stopping his momentum, Stein falling down hard on his shoulder.

Mark Perletta: Greyson Blade putting on the breaks and Stein coming up with nothing but mat!

Grabbing Dan Stein by the arm, Greyson Blade lifts him up off the mat and irish whips his opponent into the ropes. On the return Greyson Blade goes for a clothesline but Dan Stein ducks underneath it. Stein stops himself mid-stride, turns to face Greyson, and as soon as Blade turns around he's met with another kick to the groin, this one doubling Blade over yet again. Measuring him up, Stein waits for Greyson to get back up to a vertical base, and as he does, Stein leaps into the air and goes for the enzuigiri...

BUT HE CONNECTS WITH NOTHING BUT AIR!!

Mark Perletta: Greyson Blade ducked! Greyson Blade ducked!

Dan Stein works his way back to his feet, but as he does he's nailed with a hard right hand, sending Dan down to the mat. Stein works his way back up and Greyson hits a SECOND hard right hand, again taking Dan Stein off of his feet. When Dan Stein uses the last bit of adrenaline in his body to get back to his feet, Greyson Blade picks him up, lifts him up over his shoulder, spins around... jumps...

OUTLAW DROP!!!

Greyson Blade puts one knee underneath himself, then one of his feet, and then he grabs Dan Stein by the head and lifts him up to his feet. Immediately thereafter Greyson Blade grabs Stein by the arm and irish whips him into the ropes, turning and running in the opposite direction. As the two advance swiftly towards one another, Greyson Blade dives towards the chest of Dan Stein and LEVELS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!!

KILLSHOT!!!

Greyson Blade violently hooks the leg, nearly folding Stein in half as the referee slid into place to make the count, the fans chanting along with every slap of the hand onto the mat...

ONE!!

TWO!!!!

THREE!!!!!

Winner by PINFALL and STILL LEGACY World Champion :
"The Outlaw" Greyson Blade

Mark Perletta: Once again Greyson Blade overcomes adversity to keep the World Title around his waist, and as "Outlaw Torn" by Metallica played over the PA system, the fans were going crazy cheering for their World Champion.

Joey C: Yeah and Dan Stein was fuming all the way up the entrance ramp, almost as if he wasn't going to believe the result that just took place, actually stopping at the top of the ramp and walking to the edge of the entrance stage, standing there, absolutely pissed off, looking as if he wanted to have another match right then and there.

Mark Perletta: Before Dan Stein could do anything, however, someone else had an announcement to make.

Greyson's celebration in the ring is short lived however has "Champion" by Grinspoon begins to sound throught the arena. Stephen Rawlings then walks from the back, wearing his black "Good enough isn't; Perfect Is” tshirt and a pair of jeans. The fans are confused to see him since it was announced earlier he had the week off, but they are happy he's there, and they give him a large booming ovation. As he comes out, he walks right down the isle, ignoring Dan Stein, who stands about ten feet away near the edge of the entrance stage.

Joey C: What in the world is Stephen Rawlings doing out here? He wasn’t even scheduled to be here this week!

Mark Perletta: He did, in fact, ask for the week off from active competition, but as of last week he IS the Number One Contender, and I figured he would be in attendance to watch this match to see who his title shot would be against.

Landon Savage: I don't know why he's out here, but I do know that Dan Stein isn't happy about it, stealing his thunder like this.

Rawlings quickly makes his way to ringside, and before he goes into the ring, he gets a mic from the time keeper’s table. He then climbs into the ring, and after looking over at Greyson Blade, who is standing across the ring from him with the LEGACY World Title over his shoulder working on catching his breath after a hard fought match, Stephen motions for the fans to settle down.

Stephen Rawlings: I know I know... I said I wasn't going to be here tonight , but there was a good reason. The reason being... I was preparing... I was getting stuff done. I was making sure everything was in place, and I didn't want to say I was going to be here if everything wasn't ready... But rest assured... As I am standing here in this very ring... Everything is as good as "gold" on the home front. That being said... Greyson, I'd like to congratulate you on an awesome title defense! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And BAM... You showed why you were the champion, and you showed Stein why he is not!

Rawlings smirks as the fans let out a quick pop, Greyson nodding his head and tapping the face of the championship belt over his shoulder.

Stephen Rawlings: I have to admit that I really, really enjoyed that. You see... I've always had this kind of well, annoyance with Dan Stein... Like how he feels like he's better than me and how he claimed to deserve a title shot before me, even though I beat the shit out of him a couple months ago in that Sky High Exhibition match! Sure, he beat me in a tag match, stole my titles... But at the time he had a functioning tag team partner and I had a retard. Not that I'm making excuses... I'm just saying... I may not have wanted to be a World Tag Team Champion with Chris Turner, but being a CHAMPION is something that I pride myself in, and Stein took that away from me. I'm glad that Stein's come and gone. He had his chance, and boy was it good to see him fail. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Rawlings turns and faces Greyson directly.

Stephen Rawlings: But he's not the champion... You are... And that's why I'm here right now. That's why I took this week off.

The crowd stays quiet with anticipation of what's coming.

Stephen Rawlings: In some instances, Stein and I do have some things in common. Cuz, like Stein... I never planned on waiting till September to have a damn title shot. I'm way too impatient for that. So... like Stein... when I won my title shot last week, I decided I wanted to challenge for the title as soon as I could on a weekly edition of STRIFE, but Stein already had a one-on-one shot for the World Title on the next STRIFE, so I was told I had to wait. Given all of the variables involved, given your schedule, I knew that to increase the odds in my favor as much as possible, to make the best of MY opportunity, it seemed to me like one date on the calendar made the most sense, so last week I went and talked to Smith Cartwright, as the dirt sheets have mentioned, and I got my World Title shot signed for… August 7th!

The fans in the arena seem a bit stunned by the announcement.

Mark Perletta: That’s LEGACY's next show!

Landon Savage: Damn fine strategy there by Stephen Rawlings, not giving the champ a week off to rest.

Stephen Rawlings: Since I had a match last week, a damn tough submissions match against a high quality opponent, might I add, I decided that I wanted to be in tip-top shape for our match, Greyson, so I took this week off... To train and prepare, to prove to the front office that I was ready, and today I had a meeting with them. A very good meeting... And they made it official. They wrote up a contract for next week, where I got to fight whoever the champion was at the end of tonight’s show. And that's where similarities between Stein and I end, because two weeks ago, he came out here, did his spiel, and tonight, proved he was WORTH shit and couldn't DO shit. I, on the other hand, know exactly what I'm doing, and wouldn't be doing it unless I knew for a fact that I COULD do it! So next week... It'll be Greyson Blade... THE OUTLAW… THE CURRENT WORLD CHAMPION... defending the LEGACY World Title against Stephen Rawlings... The future Champion... 1 on 1! No stipulations... Straight ole' boring wrestling! And I will win… why? Greyson, you won the title against Marcus Marion, a so-so wrestler, in a hardcore match. A few weeks before the cage match at Rise of the Elite 3, you lost to Marcus Marion in a REGULAR match. All you needed was a performance good enough to beat him because the rules, they benefited you. Tonight, you beat Dan Stein in a No Holds Barred Match a few weeks after losing to Dan Stein in a REGULAR match where the belt wasn’t on the line...

Rawlings looks around, an arrogant smirk on his face.

Stephen Rawlings: Anyone else noticing a trend here? Our match next week, you’re either going to break the trend of losing “regular old boring matches”… or you’re going to lose that belt. I've been training for a full week and a half and I plan on training for another whole week, and by the time our match rolls around, I will be perfect. Good enough shouldn't be in your vocabulary... Good enough can't be.. Good isn't! You will have to be perfect. Go home and cuddle with that belt as much as you can, ‘cause after next Monday, that belt be around my waist.

Rawlings smiles at the thought of it and then he looks up the isle at Dan Stein, who is still at the top of the ramp on the entrance stage.

Stephen Rawlings: And Stein, when I win... You're not getting a shot. You already proved you're not good enough for this title. You’ve also proved that you can’t hold a candle to me in this ring one-on-one. No need going through all that again!

Rawlings turns and looks at Greyson.

Stephen Rawlings: Outlaw, I’ll see you next week. Everybody else, have a good night, and I'll see you all next week!!

“Champion” by Grinspoon once again cranks in over the speakers and Stephen drops the mic and exits the ring leaving Greyson to soak everything in, and as the camera follows Rawlings up the ramp with the LEGACYtron showing Greyson Blade in the ring, the scene fades to black.
