The LEGACY Tour logo shows up on a black screen and it fades out as "Awake" by Godsmack starts to play, and clips from past shows fade in and out. The first clip we see has Jack Henderson locking the rear naked choke on Creed, and it's followed up with a shot of Creed hitting the REIGN OF SIN. Next are clips from the match between Matt Larcen and Cian Randal, showing Larcen picking up the win. Then we see Jimmy Smith powerbombing Aaron Beaudway and then hitting the UP ALL NIGHT elbow drop. Former tag team partners Conor McLellan and Declan O'Leary battle it out in the middle of the ring. We then see the RULE OF DOMINION finisher by the Old School Kings.

We next see clips from the match between the Revenge of the Nerds and Bushido Buntai. Quickly following that are clips from the two matches that took place involving Gryffin Anselm and Tim Jones. Then various shots from the two contests between Stephen Rawlings and Katsuro Yoshida play across the screen, ending with a shot of Stephen Rawlings picking up a victory and having his hand raised into the air. Marcus Marion and John Thomas battle it out, ending with black and white still images of Marion using a chair, with the audio from that match dubbed in over top. We then see Loco Martinez get into the ring with Marcus and the two of them battle it out, leading up to John Thomas hopping the guardrail and getting into the ring and nailing Marion with the falling neckbreaker drop. The final clips we see are from the matches between Greyson Blade and Dan Stein. Once those play we see still images of Nicholas Creed, then Gryffin Anselm, then the Revenge of the Nerds with Jen X standing between them, and finally a shot of Greyson Blade.

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 several flatscreen monitors, each of them showing the same view we're seeing right now of the recap trio. As the camera zooms in, the screens fade into a shot of the yellow golden LEGACY logo.

Mark Perletta: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the final edition of STRIFE prior to the upcoming ADVENT EMPIRE pay per view.

Landon Savage: Not too many matches for you tonight, but some interesting ones.

Joey C: In the main event, Herb Moxley takes on Eric Wolfson, and the outcome of the match determines who gets the next shot at the Tao of Valor Championship.

Mark Perletta: That situation gets a little confusing, but really all that needs to be said is that if Nicholas Creed makes it out of tonight with the belt, he will be defending it at the pay per view. If he doesn't, there won't be a match at the pay per view.

Landon Savage: It makes sense, when you think about it, because Nicholas Creed's reign with that belt has brought great ratings to LEGACY, so it's only logical that a Nicholas Creed title defense at the pay per view would bring ratings. If he doesn't have the belt, DJ Cassidy would have it, and there's no NEED to make him fight in two matches at the pay per view.

Mark Perletta: The front office decided that if Herb Moxley wants a shot at the Tao of Valor Championship, he has to beat Creed's mentor in tonight's main event. If he can win, he'll get the next shot, which, as we mentioned, will be at the pay per view. If he doesn't beat Eric Wolfson tonight, then new-comer Matt Larcen will get the match.

Landon Savage: Enough talk about that whole situation, because in the opening match of tonight's show, in a match that's going to set the tone for the entire night, we have our first ever triple threat tag team match.

Mark Perletta: Three of the competitors, one from each team, will compete at ADVENT EMPIRE with the No Limit Title on the line, the other three men in the match are hand selected partners of those three individuals.

Landon Savage: Not only does this give a chance for Gryffin Anselm and James Win to prove how good they are as a team in there, but we also get to see what the highly touted Bushido Buntai have to offer.

Mark Perletta: Like was just mentioned, that's our first match of the night, but first we wanted to show you all something that happened early on in the night backstage.

The camera cuts to the back where Stephen Rawlings has a worried look on his face. It is readily apparent that he is looking around for someone, and apparently not having any luck.

Stephen Rawlings: Where the hell is he?

Rawlings opens a door and looks into a locker room.

Stephen Rawlings: Hey Mox... You in here?

He looks disappointed as there’s no one in there. He then continues to look around and sees Greyson Blade walking in the other direction. He swiftly tries to catch up to him, and as he gets close, he calls out to the World’s Champion, trying to get his attention.

Stephen Rawlings: Yo Greyson... You seen Moxley?

Greyson doesn't even bother to stop at first and simply responds back.

Greyson Blade: No.

Stephen Rawlings: You sure? I really need to find him. I feel horrible, and I really need to apologize for what you made me do last week....

Now that brings Greyson to a halt, and he turns around with a look of disdain at Rawlings, slowly walking in his direction.

Greyson Blade: Don't even start with me with that line of bullshit Rawlings. You made your choice in that match, and I responded the way a real man would. You want to play games and lay your hands on me, I'll use my fists on you. You aren't dragging me down that rabbit hole with you, "Steve-o". You feel bad about what happened, then you go apologize to Moxley ... me ... I have nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to be sorry for.

Stephen looks appalled.

Stephen Rawlings: What are you talking about? How can you NOT take blame? He got pinned and cost ALL THREE OF US the match because of that crap you pulled!

Greyson: Like I said. You made your choice. You struck the first blow. I'm not some pious jackass who is going to turn the other cheek. You took a shot at me, so I took a shot at you. You wanted to play things that way. You made the choice. YOU fucked up. End of story.

Rawlings glares at Blade.

Rawlings: I did what I did because you deserved it! I was trying to help MY friend and you were getting in the way. And much like you, I'm not gonna take shit, so I shoved you, and it felt good. Just like beating you next week and taking that belt is gonna feel fucking great!

Greyson’s eyes narrow.

Greyson: I deserved it? Like you have any room to talk about anyone deserving anything. You blew your shot at my title. You failed to get the job done. I don't want to hear any bitching about Dan Stein. Point blank: your big chance at taking my belt went "poof" ... up in smoke. So this match at Advent Empire? You don't deserve it, but I'm willing to put it on the line anyway just because I don't back down from anyone, let alone someone like you. If anyone got in the way this last match, it would be YOU. I am the LEGACY World Champion. I get the job done, unlike some people around here ... and that's going to be crystal clear after both you and Stein leave Advent Empire without my title.

The Outlaw smirks at Stephen Rawlings and runs a hand possessively over the LEGACY World Title around his waist

Rawlings: You can say it as many times as you need to make you feel like you are good, but I did NOT blow my shot. I had you right where I wanted you before Stein got there and had HE not... I'd be the World Champion... Because you can be in as much denial as you wish, but we both know that I am both a better wrestler and a better man than you!

The Outlaw gives a bit of a smile, and then look at Rawlings shaking his head.

Greyson: “If”s and “but”s, Rawlings. Nothing more than “if”s and “but”s. Had me where you wanted me? Not at all. Where you wanted me was looking at the ceiling. Point blank: that didn't happen, and you can blame Stein all you want, but if you were really that good you would have beaten me before he arrived. Problem is you didn't, and that's twice now you've shown the world that you can't get it done, and at Advent Empire I'm going to complete the hat trick. You want to claim you are the better man? You want to claim you are the better wrestler? Talk, talk, and more talk. My belt? That says otherwise ... and if you will excuse me ... I've got better things to do than to listen to more or your delusions and bitching.

Rawlings grab's onto Greysons arm.

Rawlings: You don't walk away from me.

For the first time Greyson's eyes light with fire and he turns towards Rawlings.

Greyson: I suggest you remove your hand.

Stephen stares into Greyson's eyes.

Rawlings: NO! We can play ping pong with words all day long, but we BOTH know that it is going to get us nowhere. You wanna be in denial? I understand that. I understand why a man who won the belt on a fluke against a sub-par wrestler at best is, worried to show the world how much of a fluke it really was. Because there he is twiddling his thumbs, taking on all these wrestlers who can't do shit in the ring, and along comes me. The “Future Champion of the World”. A man who is smarter, stronger, more talented, better looking, and of course more popular than you – as evident by the rise in sales of my tshirt , which IS the current featured product on the LEGACY website. You put on a front... you try to be big and bad. "You never back down from a challenge"… Well fuck that, man! That title is nothing more than a joke around your waist because all you are is a no-talent brawling joke!

Rawlings removes his hand, as it’s obvious that Blade isn’t going anywhere. The Outlaw shakes his head. Apparently Rawlings hadn't taken a look at all of "The Outlaw" t-shirts in the arenas everywhere LEGACY had been or the top seller on the LEGACY Merchandise site.

Greyson: And when you fail one more time ... then I guess the joke's on you ...

The Outlaw shrugs off Rawlings and stalks off down the hallway. Stephen Rawlings watches him go, a glare on his face.

Rawlings: I won't fail... It used to be about being Grand Slam Champion... About winning because I know I can win and I wanted to prove it. Not anymore... Now it's more than that. Now it's beating Greyson, and making him cry about!

He storms off the other way knocking over a guy wearing an "Outlaw” T-shirt.

The words "from earlier this week" appear on the screen and the footage which follows is slightly grainy and is shown in black and white. It originally appeared earlier this week in a promo by Loco Martinez and John Thomas.

We're driving through the streets of Albany with Loco Martinez... who is clearly paying more attention to pedestrians than to what's going on on the road.

Loco: Now the check in desk at the hotel said he was in workout gear. So I'm guessing he's going for a run... BUT, if you see a gym or fitness center, holler, okay?

We continue driving for a few moments. When off in the distance we see John Thomas running.

Loco: There he is!!

Loco steps on the accelerator, rolling down his window yelling and beeping the horn.

Loco: JOHN! JT!! JOHN THOMAS!!

John looks over his shoulder and starts to slow down, very confused. Loco just stops his car in the middle lane and hops out. He dashes across the road. John walks back towards Loco.

John Thomas: Loco?

Loco: JT, been trying to get you all week.

John doesn't answer he just looks worried.

John Thomas: Loco?

Loco: Wait, let me apologize for not answering your calls.

John Thomas: LOCO! Your car, dude.

We turn to see Loco's car begin to roll backwards.

Loco: SHIT.

Loco dashes back across the road to his rental car and leans in the window and pulls the emergency break.

John Thomas: Not used to driving stick?

Pauses in the middle of the road and sighs.

Loco: Actually, my CRV is stick. I'm just not used to jumping out with such short notice. I remembered to put in neutral so it didn't stall... if that's worth anything.

John shakes his head, a quick chuckle sneaking out.

- clip cuts forward -

Loco: Speaking of LEGACY… This week's show. I'm in desperate need of a tag team partner. You're not suspended... see where I'm going with this?

John: Umm…. I’m afraid I don’t QUITE understand, Jay…

John thinks for a second.

John: Are you saying.... is this... are you asking me.... To go see a movie?

Loco's eyes narrow.

Loco: Having fun?

John: A little. So...... you just gonna stand there, or are you going to ask me?

Loco sighs.

Loco: Would you please be my tag team partner this week? Its either that or you watch me get beat down in a two v. two v. one three way handicap match.

John sits there and pretends to weigh his options.

John: Okay... I guess so… Since you were nice enough to show up when I had that match against the Old School Kings. Who are we facing?

Loco shrugs.

Loco: Some guy named James Win and his partner Gryffin, who you might recognize, and then a tag team. Bushido Buntai.

John: Yeah, I've heard of them. One of those guys beat Rawlings a few weeks ago.

Loco nods.

Loco: You'd be doing me a huge favor, and it'll be a good tune up for Marion, for YOUR Advent Empire match.

John nods.

John: It's been a while since I've been in the ring against Gryffin, so that'll be a fun little added bonus, in addition to doing you a huge favor. So does this mean you "owe me one"?

Loco thinks this over.

Loco: Absolutely. Right now? I'm not above begging or bribing someone.

Points to the rental car.

Loco: You want to drive? Its all yours... umm well until it has to be back to Budget.

John laughs.

John: They might actually give you a discount if they find out that you weren't the one who drove it the whole time.

Mark Perletta: This match was set up to be very interesting from the very start for several reasons.

Landon Savage: The obvious reason being that one guy from each of the three teams is involved in the No Limit Title match at ADVENT EMPIRE. That's not analysis, that's just stating fact. What IS interesting are the ramifications this might have on the tag team division, not to mention the fact that this is the first time John Thomas and Gryffin Anselm have been in the ring with one another in years.

Joey C: Teacher versus student, though honestly I'm not sure if everyone realizes that Gryffin Anselm was the primary mentor of John Thomas early on in his career, a move that ultimately got Anselm back into the sport after a few year hiatus AND ended up revealing that Rob Belote is John Thomas' father.

Landon Savage: Yeah, yeah, that's old "Soap Opera" news, though. What IS important is that Gryffin Anselm and James Win are getting back into the ring as a tag team to prove that they are one of the top tag teams of all time.

Mark Perletta: Well let's not forget that Loco Martinez is considered one of the top tag team wrestlers of the past decade or more as part of Stellar Insanity , not to mention that the Bushido Buntai were highly successful as a tag team back in Japan.

Joey C: Yeah well that was back in Japan, and this is here in the United States, and the Bushido Buntai, as a team, have stalled a bit right out of the start.

Mark Perletta: In tonight's opening contest, the Bushido Buntai looked better than they had in their previous tag team contests here in LEGACY. Now when this match was booked, I wasn't sure how the rules were going to play out...

Landon Savage: Yeah well this match was just like a triple threat match, three men in the ring, each man for himself. The only real difference was that each of those men had a partner out on the apron to tag into.

Joey C: This was my first ever time seeing a triple threat tag match, and I have to say that I'm a big fan of it. There were several times during the match where one guy was down on the mat, leaving the other two men to start fighting it out, only for the guy who WAS on the mat to find a way to get the tag in.

Mark Perletta: And each time that happened, it completely changed the dynamic and flow of the match.

Joey C: Another thing that completely changed the dynamic every time it happened was Osamu Hayashi getting tagged into the match. Now I've seen the videos of their matches back in Japan, I know what they're capable of, and I know that Osamu Hayashi is better than what he has been showing us the past couple of months.

Landon Savage: Yeah well even on their best day, I don't know how they'd fare against a team of Anselm and Win when they're on their game.

Mark Perletta: Or John Thomas and Loco Martinez for that matter, who had a great match themselves tonight, and in the end, it appeared that all three teams were in it, with Katsuro Yoshida, James Win, and Loco Martinez all in the ring. Just like Joey just mentioned a minute ago, everything changed when Osamu Hayashi got tagged into the match.

Start : Footage from the Match

Loco Martinez comes in for a clothesline on Katsuro Yoshida, but the Bushido Buntai member ducks underneath it and spotting James Win standing not too far behind Katsuro, Martinez keeps running and he clotheslines Win. Turning around to face the Bushido Buntai member, Loco steps right into a roundhouse kick to the jaw from Katsuro Yoshida. Spotting an opportunity, Yoshida steps over to his corner and tags in Osamu Hayashi.

Mark Perletta: Katsuro Yoshida making the tag, and I'm not exactly sure why he just brought Osamu into the match.

Joey C: Obviously he has some sort of plan, otherwise he would've stayed in the match. Besides, Katsuro has been in there for a while, Hayashi is the fresher of the two. It's really not a bad strategy.

Landon Savage: It's no secret that Osamu hasn't been on his best game here in LEGACY thus far, maybe he just wants to help bring the kid back up to speed.

Mark Perletta: This isn't a title match or a top contenders match or anything, so maybe this would be a good opportunity to do something like that.

As soon as Osamu gets into the ring, he runs over and grabs Loco by the head, jumping and slamming Martinez's face into the mat. Hayashi gets up, turns his back to where Loco is laying on the mat, and then he does a backflip, landing a splash down onto Martinez. Turning his attention to James Win, Osamu grabs his other opponent by the arm, lifts him to his feet and irish whips him into the ropes.

Mark Perletta: Nice move there by Osamu Hayashi and he goes right back to work.

Win has a bit more momentum than Osamu was expecting, so Hayashi drops down to the mat and Win hops over him. As Hayashi gets back up to his feet, James Win keeps running. As the All Star hits the ropes, he reaches over and tags in Gryffin Anselm. On the return James Win does a forwards roll, evading Osamu. Hayashi turns to look where James went, and he then gets clotheslined down to the mat from behind by Gryffin Anselm.

Mark Perletta: Osamu Hayashi didn't even notice Gryffin getting tagged into the match, and he paid dearly for it.

Landon Savage: Another example of just how great Gryffin and James are as a tag team, a nice little diversionary tactic...

Mark Perletta: Well James Win should've exited the ring, and that's why!

Loco Martinez up off the mat, he sees James Win and runs over and drops him with a two-legged dropkick. From there Loco turns and faces the corner, hops up onto the top turnbuckle in the split-legged position and propels himself backwards into a moonsault, connecting with the HAPPINESS! The fans cheer, but as Loco's doing that, he doesn't notice as Gryffin Anselm picks Osamu Hayashi up off the mat, puts him onto his shoulders and then DRIVES him down onto the mat onto the back of his neck and shoulders.

Landon Savage: Devastator!!

Joey C: Here's the pinfall...

ONE...

TWO...

THREE.

Winner by PINFALL : Gryffin Anselm and James Win

Mark Perletta: Gryffin Anselm and James Win pick up the win, and that gives Anselm a bit of momentum going into ADVENT EMPIRE against Katsuro Yoshida and Loco Martinez.

Landon Savage: It also goes to show just what I was saying, that Win and Anselm are one of the best tag teams on the LEGACY roster.

Mark Perletta: It was a quality victory, so you'd have to think that we might see more from these two in the future around here.

September 10th.       Boston, Mass. World Championship Elimination Match Stephen Rawlings. Dan Stein. Greyson Blade.

The scene is backstage where we see Jake Dominion heading to the gorilla position where he bumps into DJ Cassidy, who is doing some stretches. Appearing annoyed with Cassidy's presence, Dominion begins to speak.

Jake Dominion: You know there's a thing called a locker-room for that? By the way, where's your nerd boy?

DJ Cassidy: I don't know, where's YOUR has-been partner?

Jake lets out a chuckle as he continues...

Jake Dominion: You'll need to do more than stretching boy to get pass the monster Creed

DJ shakes his head and starts to speak.

DJ Cassidy: If I were you, I'd worry a hell of a lot more about getting your ass kicked tonight.

Jake lets out another chuckle as if he's amused by DJ's comments as he continues...

Jake Dominion: Getting my ass kicked? By who? Some AA reject with masked men running around him? You must be joking. If I were you I'd be worried about being alive after YOUR match. You couldn't even beat me in our match, you think you have a shot in hell against Nick? He'll eat you for lunch chump!

DJ just continues stretching, trying not to let Dominion's words get to him.

DJ Cassidy: Creed eat ME for lunch? I beg to differ. I've done my homework on Creed and watched tapes of his matches. He may be a big guy, but the bigger they are, the harder they fall. And he's the biggest one of them all so if I were him, I'd be bracing myself for a hard fall.

Jake shakes his head as he starts to speak...

Jake Dominion: You do that, boy. Now I'd love to stay here and have a little pow-wow with you cause you're somewhat amusing me, but I do have a match. So if you'll excuse me, I'll show you how a real champ gets the job done...

DJ Cassidy: More like a real chump if you ask me...

Jake Dominion: HAHA, whatever. Just keep that belt shiny for me when I take it from you at Advent Empire...

Jake continues off to the gorilla position as Cassidy goes back to stretching.

Mark Perletta: This past week I got the chance to talk to the front office about exactly why the match between Jake Dominion and Tim Jones was booked, and I got a relatively simple answer...

Landon Savage: They wanted to put it into terms you'd be able to understand...

Mark Perletta: ...Apparently the front office thinks very highly of both of these competitors based on what they've seen in the past, but they wanted to give them the chance to show what they were capable of in this singles match. Thanks for the vote of confidence by the way, Landon.

Landon Savage: Hey, I do what I can.

Joey C: Despite there being no real reason why either of these two would be getting into the ring, I like this match up. Tim Jones isn't a part of a tag team, so it's not like there's heat between them for that reason. They're not both going after the same singles title, nobody slept with the other's wife or girlfriend or fiance or whatever, so there's no heat for that reason. To be honest, there's no real heat between these guys.

Mark Perletta: And despite all that, this match was exciting in its own right.

Landon Savage: Damn right it was. Jake Dominion is a world caliber athlete. I don't believe I've seen him in a bad match a single time in his career, and he's been around a damn long time, one of the more accomplished veterans in our sport.

Joey C: That's one of the reasons why the Old School Kings are as good as they are, because both of them are accomplished veterans - both having won World Titles, not to mention the fact that they've been friends for a long time.

Mark Perletta: Jake Dominion may be an accomplished veteran, and he might be part of one of the top two tag teams here in LEGACY, but that doesn't change the fact that Tim Jones held his own in this match.

Landon Savage: Indeed he did, and to be honest, I was a bit surprised at how well he was fighting, and I think Jake Dominion was, too.

Joey C: Rightfully so, Landon. Tim Jones has accomplished nothing in this business when he's compared to Jake Dominion. What does Jones have on his shelf at home, the TTW Television Title?

Mark Perletta: Having held titles in your career doesn't win matches. All the past accomplishments in the world wouldn't just hand Dominion a victory.

Landon Savage: It does a decent job of predicting the winner, though.

Mark Perletta: Sometimes, but often times it depends on who the more motivated individual is, and in this match, that was a toss-up.

Start : Footage from the Match

Dominion sends Tim Jones into the ropes with an irish whip, and on the return Jake takes him down with a spin drop-toe-hold takedown. Once on the mat, Jake slides up and puts Tim Jones into a chinlock, sliding his forearm underneath The Ladies Man's chin to turn it into a chokehold. When the referee spots this, he repremands Dominion, who turns it back into a chinlock. Not five seconds later, however, he turns it back into a chokehold, and when the referee spots it a second time, he forces Dominion to break the hold, and then forces him to back up into one of the far corners.

Joey C: Nice break there for Tim Jones, getting lucky that the referee's giving him this free opportunity to get back into the match.

Mark Perletta: The referee's not "gifting" Tim Jones anything. That was a blatant and illegal chokehold Dominion had on him, so the referee broke it up, and now it looks like we're going to get another clean opportunity as the two are about to meet in the center of the ring again, going right back at it.

Jones blocks a punch by Jake Dominion and lands one of his own, following it up with another hard right. From there Tim senses an opportunity and he turns and runs, bouncing off the ropes for momentum, and on the return he flies in towards Jake Dominion with a hard right hand to the head, taking Dominion off his feet. A bit slower to get up, when Jake gets back up, Tim Jones moves in behind him, grabbing him around the waist, picking him up, jumping, and slamming Jake down onto his back with a fallaway side suplex.

Mark Perletta: Tim Jones with a big opportunity here after taking Jake Dominion down to the mat twice in a row... It looks like Tim Jones is setting up... he could be looking for the SNAFU superkick here...

Joey C: I don't think he's worn Jake Dominion down enough. This could be either really good, or it could fail completely.

Tim Jones steps in and goes for the SNAFU, and Jake Dominion is just barely able to side step it, avoiding the kick to the jaw. As Jones goes to pull his leg back, Jake Dominion steps in, grabs around Jones' neck, one arm underneath Tim's knee, locking him into the fisherman's position, and from there Jake spins underneath and through and snaps down, hitting a neckbreaker drop.

Joey C: The Ice Breaker!

Mark Perletta: Jake Dominion bridging up and going for the pinfall...

ONE.

TWO.

THREE.

Winner by PINFALL : Jake Dominion

Mark Perletta: A nice win there for Jake Dominion, and if I'm correct, that increases his record in singles contests to 2 wins and 1 loss.

Joey C: I'm not surprised that Dominion won the way he did. There at the end Tim Jones looked a little too anxious to try to hit that superkick, and when he went for it, Jake Dominion was able to avoid it because he used to use a superkick as his finisher, making it a lot easier for him to have scouted it coming from Jones.

Mark Perletta: Tim Jones now a little dejected over the loss and getting ready to exit the ring, and... wait, what's this?!

The same masked man who attacked Tim Jones twice before hops over the steel guardrail from the crowd and gets into the ring behind Jones and nails him with a forearm shot from behind. Jones drops down to one knee and then gets up and turns around to face his assailant, but the masked man drops down to one knee and absolutely CRUSHES Tim Jones' family jewels with a particularly stiff low blow, completely doubling Jones over. The masked man stands up and grabs The Ladies Man and sets him up into a vertical head scissors and then hops backwards, planting Jones' head down into the mat with a piledriver. Right after doing that, the masked man stands up and takes off the mask, revealing Aaron Beaudway, a huge grin on his face, looking down and laughing at Tim Jones before exiting the ring.

Mark Perletta: Once again Tim Jones gets attacked by the masked man, we finally learn his true identity and it turns out to be none other than "The Only Way" Aaron Beaudway.

Joey C: Oh and you can bet that Tim Jones is going to be livid, not just because he got attacked from behind again, but because Aaron Beaudway mastermined this entire thing, set it all up and goaded Tim Jones into these situations.

Landon Savage: I'll be real honest with you, I never thought too much of Aaron Beaudway. I figured he would never really amount to anything, but the way he's been apparently taking the initiative lately to make something happen for himself... I like it. He may be a goofy kid, but I like the way he's been messing with The Ladies Man as of late.

Mark Perletta: I wouldn't be surprised if these two men got into the ring with one another very soon, possibly even at ADVENT EMPIRE.

One of the advantages to having a pre-taped show is that anytime someone speaks in a different language, there's an opportunity for the production crew to get a translation and make subtitles available to the viewing audience. This segment is one of the times where this came in handy. Backstage after their match, the Bushido Buntai did not even make it back to their locker room before Shinya Nori decided to take the opportunity to talk to them about the result of their match. Standing in the hallway, Katsuro Yoshida and Osamu Hayashi are standing face to face with Shinya, who looks upset by something and appears to be looking directly at Osamu.

As aforementioned, the Japanese has been translated into English.

Shinya Nori: Once again the Bushido Buntai were in prime position to win a match and cement themselves here and the opportunity was lost!

Osamu Hayashi looks extremely disappointed in himself, and Katsuro Yoshida looks concerned.

Shinya Nori: This is now the second time you have not performed up to your potential in a tag team match that Katsuro put you into a position to win. Back in Japan the Bushido Buntai were a great team, that is why I was confident that coming to LEGACY, the two of you would be a dominant force. The talent here is no better than the talent in Japan, so you two should still be as dominant as before.

Osamu's head drops a bit further.

Shinya Nori: I don't know what the problem is or why you are not performing up to potential, but whatever the problem is, it must be resolved.

Out of the corner of his eye something catches Osamu's attention, and as he glances over, he notices the four women in the ring announcer contest walking down the hall. As they pass by him, he can't turn his eyes away. Shinya Nori realizes that Osamu's attention has been diverted, and he and Katsuro look over to see what has caught his eye, and after noticing the women, they turn their eyes back on Osamu. This time Shinya is not the first to speak.

Katsuro Yoshida: I think I have an idea as to how we can resolve this situation.

Shinya Nori looks over at Katsuro Yoshida, who is typically a man of few words, and as they lock eyes, Shinya nods, and the trio head back to their locker room.

The feed cuts back to a shot of the ring and then switches over to a shot of the entrance stage as pink and baby blue spotlights shine down, slowly undulating all around the arena as "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls starts to play. This draws a decent reaction from the fans who have a good idea of what's taking place, having witnessed it the past couple of weeks. They're none too surprised when Smith Cartwright walks out onto the stage. Mic in hand, the music continuing to play, Smith Cartwright starts right into it.

Smith Cartwright: Another point in our show that a lot of you have probably been looking forward to, it's time once again to narrow our choices for the ring announcer position vacancy, here they are.... Hannah Perez...

A portion of the crowd cheers as the lovely Latina walks out from the back with a shimmery golden top on and a black mini skirt. She walks out onto the stage and stands looking out over the crowd.

Smith Cartwright: Veronica Miller...

A larger portion of the crowd responds as Veronica walks out, wearing a white flowing dress. She walks to the other side of the entrance ramp from where Hannah Perez stands.

Smith Cartwright: Charlene Kimble...

Charlene walks out wearing her black pants suit with a black dress shirt unbuttoned halfway down, still sporting the orange glasses. She walks over and stands next to Hannah Perez.

Smith Cartwright: And finally... Josephina... Colbert!

Josephina struts out wearing a very low-cut top and some tight fitting jeans, eliciting a huge response from the crowd, slightly bigger than Charlene's response. She walks onto the stage and grabs Smith Cartwright's ass just before walking over and joining Veronica Miller on the other side of the entrance ramp. The music then fades under and a blushing Smith Cartwright gets ready to make his announcement.

Smith Cartwright: Now you'll probably notice that these four lovely ladies are the same four who came out last week, which is a change from how we have been doing things. We started off with a group of twelve, and after the first round of voting, we cut that number in half and we brought the six women out to give you, the LEGACY fans, a much more up-close-and-personal look at them to help you decide in the voting. After the second round of voting, we went from six to four, and again we brought out the surviving foursome to give you all another chance to see them in person. Well this week, the IBS Consultants thought it was a good idea to not make the cut backstage, but to make it in front of a live audience, so that's what we're going to do this week.

Cartwright starts walking back and forth, first walking over behind Hannah and Charlene.

Smith Cartwright: The votes have been tallied and the decision has been made as to which of these ladies should be cut.

He then walks over to where Josephina and Veronica are standing, and then back again as he makes his announcement.

Smith Cartwright: It's a shame that any of these four lovely ladies is going to have to leave, but this week we must narrow down the field to three, so one of these ladies must be eliminated...

Smith, walking behind the ladies so that they can't necessarily tell where he is other than by the sound of his voice, starts walking to the side of the entrance ramp where the eliminated contestant is standing...

Smith Cartwright: It pains me to do this, but Hannah Perez... you have been eliminated.

The camera switches to a view of Hannah Perez, who has a surprised and saddened look on her face. She's obviously about ready to cry, but she holds it in. Charlene Kimble gives her a hug and then Hannah walks off through the curtain, headed backstage. The camera then switches back over to Smith Cartwright. A mild booing reaction from small pockets of fans across the arena start up.

Smith Cartwright: Like I said, it pained me to have to do that, but I cast my vote along with many of you watching out there, and Hannah Perez received the lowest percentage, so she fails to make the final three. Now just like with the No Limit Title and the World Title, at ADVENT EMPIRE a new ring announcer will be chosen from one of these three women, so go to the LEGACY forums as soon as you can and cast your vote!

The song by the Pussycat Dolls starts back up over the speakers and the three ladies, followed by Smith Cartwright, all head backstage.

The scene is backstage where we see DJ Cassidy in a LEGACY Tour T-Shirt and his navy blue and gold wrestling trunks doing some stretches in the hallway. Suddenly, we see everybody's favorite nerd, Herbert J. Moxley standing by his partner with the lovely Jen X. by his side. Mox is wearing his LEGACY Tour T-Shirt and blue jeans while Jen X. is dressed in an Abercrombie & Fitch shirt with low-rise jeans. DJ takes a break from his stretches and tags hands with Moxley before he starts to speak.

DJ Cassidy: Hey there, Mox! How's it hanging?

Moxley: Pretty good, man. How ya feeling?

DJ Cassidy: I ain't gonna lie, Mox. I'm pretty nervous because I'm scared if I blow this match, I'll never get another opportunity like this.

Moxley: I know what you mean. I bet you feel like Harry Potter and his friends when they had to hunt for Sirius Black.

There is a slight pause as DJ cracks a smile.

DJ Cassidy: Yeah, I guess that's ONE way you could put it. By the way, if Dominion and Wolfson try to pull any crap on your in your match with Eric, I'll be in your corner to make sure things stay even because I know mano y mano, you could beat Eric or Jake.

Moxley: Thanks man, I appreciate it! Hey, after the show, you wanna play a game of D & D and order some pizza?

DJ Cassidy: Sounds awesome, man. Hey, man, I gotta run, my match is up next and I have to fix the tape on one of my wrists.

Moxley: See ya later tonight, man! Good luck!

DJ Cassidy: You too!

Mark Perletta: Going into this match, I think a lot of people were seeing things differently than the rest of the Tao of Valor title defense matches of Nicholas Creed's reign with that belt.

Joey C: There's no question that D.J. Cassidy is a better competitor right now than someone like Agent Wang or Diego de Cardenas, but you have to figure that with all the different types of matches Creed has been put through, that he's clearly the favorite going into this match.

Mark Perletta: I'd agree with that, but I would only say that Creed was the favorite by a very slim margin going in, and you'd have to think that Cassidy knew that going in, though instead of letting it get into his head, Cassidy seems to have taken it as a personal challenge, and in doing so, brought the best he had to the ring.

Landon Savage: As this match progressed, I was still routing for Creed to hold on to the belt, but I will admit that, as much as it pains me, I was impressed with how DJ Cassidy was able to stay in this match, keeping Creed at bay as well as he could, not to mention throwing in some offense where he could.

Mark Perletta: An impressively well fought match by Cassidy, who over the past year or so has established himself as a great tag team wrestler, but only now is he starting to get acclaim for singles wrestling.

Landon Savage: What he needs to do is to start picking the right matches. Sure, he might be able to get a win against a guy like Tim Jones or Diego de Cardenas, but a while back he was trying to take on Jake Dominion, and now he walks into this match against Creed thinking he's going to take home gold?

Mark Perletta: A lot of people went into this match thinking that very same way, Landon, but as it progressed, a lot of people started changing their minds, thinking that a title change could very well happen.

Landon Savage: Each time Cassidy would start mounting an offense, you could tell that something deep inside of Creed reminded him that all he has to do is win this match and then he goes on to ADVENT EMPIRE with a chance to earn himself a guaranteed shot at the World Title.

Joey C: Not to mention the fact that his match at ADVENT EMPIRE would either be against Herb Moxley or Matt Larcen, depending on the outcome of tonight's main event.

Landon Savage: And you can damn well bet that Cassidy's hoping that Wolfson wins tonight's main event, because that gives HIM the best opportunity to walk out of ADVENT EMPIRE with at least ONE championship belt.

Mark Perletta: I'm sure DJ Cassidy won't be pulling for Wolfson in the Main Event, as he has seemed genuinly interested in supporting his tag team partner in his pursuit of the Tao of Valor Championship.

Landon Savage: He didn't exactly offer him THIS shot, now did he?

Joey C: He would've been an idiot if he had... though I'm not completely convinced that he isn't already. I mean, no one's forcing him to team with Herb Moxley, and yet, week after week, there they are, tagging together..

Mark Perletta: They ARE the World Tag Team Champions...

Landon Savage: Not for long they're not.

Mark Perletta: Believe what you will, but in this match, the Tao of Valor Championship is on the line, could DJ Cassidy muster up enough to score the victory over Creed?

Start : Footage from the Match

Nicholas Creed sends DJ Cassidy into the ropes with an irish whip, and on the return picks him up off the mat as if to go for a powerslam, but instead slams Cassidy's back right down into his knee with a backbreaker. Instead of dropping him to the mat, however, Creed puts one hand on Cassidy's knee and his other forearm across DJ's throad and he starts pushing down on both ends.

Mark Perletta: Creed is trying to break DJ Cassidy in half!

Landon Savage: Trying? I think he's ABOUT TO!

Spotting Creed's forearm across the throat, the referee steps in and makes Creed break the hold. Instead of dropping Cassidy down to the mat, however, Creed lifts DJ up and walks over into the corner and sets him up into the Tree of Woe, with Cassidy hanging upside down from his feet. Creed then backs up into the opposite corner and runs full speed towards Cassidy, and just before he gets there, DJ is able to pull himself up with his legs and stomach muscles, and Creed's momentum carries him right into the corner turnbuckle, hitting it hard shoulder first.

Sitting on the top turnbuckle, Cassidy unhooks his legs and then looks backwards, seeing Creed still somewhat tangled up in the ropes, so he puts one shoulder on the top rope next to him and lets himself roll over backwards. Grabbing Creed around the waist, Cassidy flings his opponent backwards with everything he's got into a German suplex and bridges into a pinning combination.

ONE!

TWO!!

NO! CREED SHOULDERS OUT!!

Cassidy tries to work his way back to his feet, but the pain in his back slows him down, and by the time he gets to his feet, Nicholas Creed has also returned to his feet. DJ grabs his opponent by the arm and goes for an irish whip, but Creed reverses it and sends Cassidy into the ropes. On the return Cassidy tries to go for a leaping shin kick, but Creed is able to move out of the way and he shoves down on Cassidy, sending him down into the mat harder than he would have by simply missing a dropkick attempt.

Mark Perletta: Nicholas Creed able to avoid that dropkick, and things aren't looking good at all for DJ Cassidy...

Joey C: Especially if Creed is about to go for the REIGN OF SIN, that's for sure. If he hits that... it's OVER. DONE.

Strategically positioning himself, Creed stalks in behind DJ Cassidy as he starts to get to his feet, and when he does, Nicholas steps in and locks his opponent into a full nelson and then steps backwards towards the center of the ring. Creed then lifts Cassidy up and goes to pivot to complete his REIGN OF SIN finisher, but as he does so, Cassidy takes the opportunity with one arm free to grab on to Nicholas' arm that he's trying to use for the urinage and he gets one leg back down onto the ground, just enough to give him some leverage, which he uses to bring Creed down into an armdrag takeover!

Mark Perletta: DJ Cassidy buying himself a chance there...

Joey C: He found a way out of the REIGN OF SIN, but will he be able to capitalize?

As soon as he gets to his feet, Cassidy clotheslines Creed down to the mat before he can even get back to his feet. After stomping on Nicholas a few times, DJ grabs Nicholas by the head, brings him back up to his feet and tries to lift him up onto his shoulders, but just as he gets him up there, DJ loses his grip on Creed, who ends up behind him.

Cassidy spins around to find his opponent and Creed nails him with a knee to the gut that doubles DJ over. Creed sets him up, lifts him high up into the air and SLAMS him down to the mat with a powerbomb before dropping to the mat and hooking both legs into the pinfall attempt...

ONE...

TWO...

THREE.

Winner by PINFALL : Nicholas Creed

Mark Perletta: Another successful title defense here for Nicholas Creed, officially earning himself his fourth stipulation title defense.

Landon Savage: I'm not a huge fan of the decisions DJ Cassidy has made, namely to continue to team up with Herb Moxley, but he sure did give SIN one hell of a fight out there tonight.

Mark Perletta: That he did, and what I find interesting is that at the end of the match, it almost seemed as if Creed wanted to do whatever he could to finish off DJ Cassidy, almost as if he was afraid that if the match went any longer...

Joey C: What, just because he didn't finish it off with a REIGN OF SIN? The guy was tired of DJ Cassidy and wanted to put him away, so he hit him with a snap powerbomb and picked up the pinfall.

Mark Perletta: I find it very interesting that he didn't go for another REIGN OF SIN after the first one was countered by DJ Cassidy, especially considering all the matches Creed has won with that particular move so far here in LEGACY.

Landon Savage: He hasn't won all of his matches with the REIGN OF SIN, though, and this just further goes to prove that he doesn't need to hit that move to put somebody away.

Mark Perletta: Now it comes down to tonight's main event to determine who Nicholas Creed will take on in a Last Man Standing Match at ADVENT EMPIRE. If Herb Moxley wins, he will get the opportunity. If Eric Wolfson gets the win, then Matt Larcen will get the shot.

Joey C: I think Herb Moxley is lucky that Matt Larcen was banned from the arena tonight, otherwise I wouldn't have been surprised if Larcen had shown up backstage and beaten Moxley down to soften him up for the main event to increase his odds of getting the title shot.

Mark Perletta: When it was announced last week that Larcen was not to be allowed here tonight, they certainly meant it, and just like with other "bannings" handed down by the front office, this one held up as well.

After finding the catering table backstage, Diego de Cardenas takes a bottled water and a half-sandwich and starts walking down the hallways. He takes a bite of the turkey on rye when he hears someone behind him. As he takes the top off of the water and takes a sip, he turns around to see who the noise is coming from, and he spots Hannah Perez walking down the corridor. The sounds he heard are the result of Hannah being eliminated from the contest, trying her best to muffle her crying and find somewhere to be alone. Diego feels bad for her, so after a moment's deliberation, he walks up to her.

Diego de Cardenas: Hannah, right?

She stops dead in her tracks and although she seems a bit unsure of whether she wants to talk or not, she nods.

Diego de Cardenas: Sorry to see that you got eliminated from the contest. Would've been nice to have another member of la raza on the tour. Especially one as nice looking as you are.

Hannah smiles and starts to get a little more composed.

Diego de Cardenas: It's all bullshit anyway, ya know? Those three girls in the finals, they're all basically the same. I'm not surprised that you or the French woman or the Japanese woman got eliminated. Only thing I'm surprised by is that there are no blondes in the final three.

Hannah Perez: Korean.

Diego is a little surprised by the response, as Hannah hadn't said anything up until that point.

Diego de Cardenas: Huh?

Hannah Perez: Kianna Hito. Her dad was... I guess he still is, Japanese, but her mom is Korean and she grew up outside of Seoul, so that makes her Korean, not Japanese.

Diego de Cardenas: Oh, well I'm glad I said that to you instead of her. It'd kind of be like calling a Mexican a Puerto Rican or Cuban, huh?

Hannah nods, a smile starting to form on her face. Diego smiles back at her.

Diego de Cardenas: There you go, glad we got you smiling again. Tell you what, I wouldn't want to waste that smile by just letting you go back to some empty hotel room. Want to go get dinner or something? If you've already eaten we could get dessert or go see a movie or something.

She contemplates it for a moment and then nods and smiles.

Hannah Perez: Yeah... yeah I think I'd like that.

Diego de Cardenas: I don't know if you heard or not, but I'm not involved in tonight's main event or anything, so we could head out now if you wanted, unless you really cared to see what happens.

Hannah looks to be contemplating it, but only half seriously.

Hannah Perez: No, no I think I'll be alright if I miss it. What are they going to do, eliminate me from the contest for not watching a match?

Diego de Cardenas: I think they lost their power to do that about twenty minutes ago. Go get your stuff and I'll meet you over by that door over there.

She smiles once more before walking off to go get her belongings.

Backstage, Greyson Blade walks the halls, his LEGACY World Title slung over his shoulder. He spots something off-camera and stops in his tracks. He literally stands in front of the camera for ten seconds, saying nothing, staring off-camera. The cameraman finally gets the point and turns around, revealing... a midget. But oh, not just any midget, for this... is... SPIKE THE MIDGET! And how do you know that? Because he's wearing a black shirt with large blue lettering, reading: "I AM SPIKE THE MIDGET". In fact, the shirt is all he's wearing. Luckily however, the shirt is oversized and reaches down to his knees. The bald-headed midget is smiling at Greyson.

Spike The Midget: Hey Greyson.

Greyson is still staring down at the little guy.

Spike The Midget: It's me, Blade. SPIKE THE MIDG--

Greyson Blade: Yes I know, Spike. I... is he...?

Spike The Midget: No, no... no Psychotic One for you to worry about.

Greyson looks INTENSELY relieved.

Greyson Blade: I'm glad. I don't think I'll ever be able to wipe that image from my mind... the image of you dancing around, naked and covered in peanut butter while Psycho poked himself in the eye and... and... you don't realise how happy I am that he never made a hand-puppet of my likeness...

Spike The Midget: Yeah. Can't have made you too happy when he beat you for the DIWF World Title, though. Don't you agree?

Greyson says nothing, merely patting the LEGACY World Title resting on his shoulder.

Spike The Midget: But like I was saying... I have no idea where Psycho's at. Could be in that box for all I know.

Spike points at a perfectly normal production crate sitting at the side of the hall. Greyson looks at the crate warily for a moment.

Spike The Midget: I'm kidding.

Greyson Blade: Right. Of course.

Spike The Midget: So... looks like you're the World Champion, yeah? And fighting against Dan Stein and everything?

Greyson Blade: Yeah, I... Spike, if you're not with Psycho, what exactly are you doing here?

Spike The Midget: Oh, didn't anyone tell you? I have a new client.

Greyson Blade: But it's not Psycho, right?

Spike The Midget: No.

Greyson Blade: Then who?

Spike The Midget: Well, he's nothing like The Psychotic One, really. And I think that you'll-- OH MY FUCKING GOD HERE HE IS RIGHT NOW!

Suddenly, and seemingly out of nowhere, somebody leaps on to Greyson Blade's back, piggy-back style. Greyson bends over but manages to keep on his feet as the person on his back grabs a hold of Greyson's shoulders and holds on tight.

Person: BRICK ON A STICK, I'M RIDING THE CHAMP! GREYSON MOTHER-EFFIN' BLAAAAAADDEEEE!

The person on his back grabs Greyson's World Title belt and holds it up in the air with one hand, while still trying to balance on Greyson's back. Greyson finally takes action and steps toward the crate. He grabs at the person on his back with both hands and flips him over his head, crashing him down on the crate which explodes into MILLIONS OF PIECES! Okay, well maybe five.

Spike The Midget: Blade! What the hell are you doing?

Spike runs over to attend to the person lying amongst the destroyed crate. It's a guy who looks to be in his early or mid-twenties, with short black hair and wearing black pants with a bright red shirt. Scrawled across the red shirt in black marker pen are the words: "GREYSON BLADE - SHARP AS A GINSU". While still lying down, the guy grins and holds the LEGACY World Title up in the air.

Guy: I believe this is yours?

Greyson snatches his title away from the black-haired guy lying on the ground.

Spike The Midget: Dammit, Greyson! You always have to get the first punch in, don't you!?

Greyson Blade: What? I was attacked! Who the-- is this guy-- who's your new client, Spike?

Spike The Midget: Are you kidding me? You just pummelled the crap out of him! You're looking at him right now! This is The Champion Of Champions, The Legend Of Legends... The Man Of Men... RICHARD TURNER!

Blade stares disbelievingly down at Richard Turner.

Greyson Blade: ... this guy?

Spike The Midget: Damn straight!

Greyson Blade: This guy!? Tell me you've just been picking guys out of the crowd at random.

Spike looks shifty-eyed around the hallway.

Spike The Midget: ... no. Actually it's kind of a long story. Well, sort of a long story. Actually, it's more like a medium-sized story--

Richard Turner: Medium-rare.

Spike The Midget: Right, medium-rare. See, Richard's a big fan and he--

Greyson Blade: Spike, I don't want to hear the story at any length. I'm the LEGACY Tour's World Champion and I'm spending enough energy trying to keep people like Dan Stein and Stephen Rawlings at bay. They're chomping at my ankles, and you're standing here trying to give me backstory on your latest pet project? I haven't got time for you OR your Rich Turner here--

Spike The Midget: That's Richard Turner to you.

Greyson Blade: Whatever! I--

Spike The Midget: No! No "whatever". No "Rich", or "Ricky", or "Dick"... just Richard. Richard Turner. Fan of all. Legend to many. You will see, Greyson, you will all see when RICHARD AND I TAKE OVER LEGACY AND BELOTE ENTERPRISES! MU-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Richard finally gets to his feet and brushes himself off while Spike is cackling like a crazy man.

Richard Turner: Actually, I'm just here to wrestle, yeah?

Spike The Midget: That's right, and until then, you better remember one thing, Greyson...

Both Spike and Richard lean forward, with Richard pointing his right index finger at Blade. They're both about to say something...

Richard Turner: I... I... I DON'T HAVE A CATCH-PHRASE YET!

Spike The Midget: You heard the man!

Spike and Richard turn away and walk off down the corridor, as Greyson-- understandably-- can do nothing but stare dumbfoundedly after them.

The words "from earlier this week" appear on the screen and the footage which follows is slightly grainy and is shown in black and white. It originally appeared earlier this week in a promo by Dan Stein.

The scene begins, Dan Stein walking through the doors of Hybrid Gym, the official training place of The Dynasty (Eric Flaherty, Mason 'Chivalric' Bishop, Jun Kenshin and Dan Stein). As the door to the gym swings open, Stein stares up into the middle of the 'ring', which is nothing more than a glorified back alley. Staring back down at him is the man that introduced him to wrestling, the man that plucked him out of the fire, almost literally, took him away from the Iowa City Fire Department and put him in the OPW headquarters, one of the most intelligent promoter that OPW has seen. The famous... the retired, Marc Summers.

Mr. Summers: “What? You look like you've just seen a ghost.”

Dan Stein: “I haven't seen you since - “

Mr. Summers: “Since you 'released me of my duties', Daniel? Yes. I remember that day well.”

Stein just shook his head. He dropped his bags and walked to the ring.

Mr. Summers: “I see you're trying to up your repertoire.”

Dan Stein: “Trying to? I'm the reigning undefeated champion of - “

Mr. Summers: “A defunct organization. Yes, that little company in New York. I heard.”

Dan Stein: “Heard?”

Summers smirks.

Mr. Summers: “Saw. Point is, congratulations and all, but that belt is still on the shelf, not being defended.”

Dan Stein: “I trained with Cade Sydal, who you yourself admitted to be one of the best technical wrestlers you've ever seen.”

Mr. Summers: “I know.”

Dan Stein: “And I won the last REAL Sky High Cup.”

Mr. Summers: “And you beat Aeolus Wrath, who can't stay in an organization to save his fath... bad analogy. You get the point.”

Dan Stein: “Did you come in here to drill me, or should I be expecting something else.”

Marc sighs.

Mr. Summers: “My you've gotten cocky.”

Dan Stein: “My, you've gotten old. Anything else?”

Mr. Summers nods.

Mr. Summers: “I wanted to come and tell you, personally, that I'm sorry.”

Dan Stein: “For what, you didn't do anything.”

Mr. Summers: “You're right. And neither did you.”

Dan Stein: “I'm... not following you.”

Mr. Summers: “I'm not sorry for something I did, I'm not sorry for something you did. I'm here to send my condolences about-”

Dan Stein: “Shut up.”

Mr. Summers: “Your father. I know you took the accident hard but it wasn't-”

Stein ducks under the ropes, quickly standing up in front of Summers.

Mr. Summers: “Your fault. It wasn't your fault.”

Dan Stein: “The farm was taking off, Marc. The farm was excelling better than we could've ever imagined. We were raking in money left and right. Selling cows, getting two back for cheaper. We had money out the wazoo. Then you had to come in and show me the 'great sport' of wrestling. After that? The farm collapsed. My mom got ill, the cows got sick, the corn didn't grow. My family suffered through a thousand acre famine, while I tried to make a name for myself, a name that you said I would create just by showing up. Did you not?”

Mr. Summers: “So I did.”

Dan Stein: “You're damned right you did. You put this false fucking hope in my head that I would ever become something with you. That you'd make me something. All you made me was a jobber with a good gimmick. That's why I fired you. Because you taught me nothing.”

Mr. Summers: “I taught you everything you knew.”

Dan Stein: “Bullshit. I knew how to act. I knew how to look good. You taught me three moves, the rest I just imitated. My training? Cade Sydal? Art West? Eric – Fucking – Flaherty? Those are the people that taught me everything I know, Marc. You taught me how to suck, but suck well. I created my own opportunities. I won Sky High, I won that MMA belt. I beat everyone and anyone that tried to step up to me. I won the tag titles, and I'll win the LEGACY belt at 'Advent Empire'.”

Mr. Summers: “You didn't do anything, Daniel. I don't know why you're beating yourself up over this.”

Dan Stein: “I didn't do anything? You're right. You're ABSOLUTELY right, Marc. I was too busy selling myself for nothing to TTW that I didn't see how hard my dad was working. I should've been there to hold the ladder, Marc. I should've been there to hold the wire. But I wasn't. Because you had to put an idea in my head that didn't become reality. That wont become reality. Not with you around, anyhow. You're nothing, Marc. You're 'infamous' and all this bullshit. You have a great sense of talent, but you suck at developing it. Maybe that's why you've retired.”

Mr. Summers: “So, what, Dan? You have to go around cracking people over the head with steel chairs to be something.”

Dan Stein: “To make them see.”

Mr. Summers: “See what? That you're whining? That you want to beat Greyson Blade, but just can't get over the hump to do it.”

Dan Stein: “I will.”

Mr. Summers: “Okay, Dan. I believe you. I know you have the talent to get over that hill. The question is, Dan... do you? Do you know you have the talent. Do you believe yourself? Are you 'supposed' to be here? Or are you supposed to be back home in Iowa, putting out fires and taking care of your family's farm, when you could be making more money wrestling for half of a year than you could make at the farm in three?”

Dan Stein: “Get out. Get out of the ring.”

Mr. Summers: “What?”

Dan Stein: “I said, 'Get out. Get out of the ring'. I wont repeat myself again.”

Mr. Summers: “I don't know what your problem-”

Stein rears back and decks Marc directly in the side of the head, dropping the man to the mat like a sack of bricks.

Dan Stein: “Doubt that, Marc. Doubt that.”

Stein looks down at the dazed – and confused – Marc Summers before sliding out of the ring.

Dan Stein: “It's not a question of if – I will beat Greyson Blade. It's not a question of when – at Advent Empire. It's not a question of how – Within an inch of his life. It's not a question of why – I fucking deserve it. I don't doubt shit. And neither will they.”

The camera cuts to an image of Dan Stein raising the Sky Cup: Invitational 2 trophey above his head, with the men around him blurred out. Then, text: The Best LEGACY Has to Offer.

Mark Perletta: Going into this match, there was no doubt about how much Herb Moxley wanted to win this match to earn himself a shot at the Tao of Valor Championship, but with D.J. Cassidy losing to Creed in his attempt, you have to think that Moxley wanted to win the match even more because of that.

Joey C: Sure, he might want to get a bit of redemption for his team mate, but this is still Eric Wolfson we're talking about standing between Moxley and a match with Creed, not to mention the fact that Nicholas Creed IS Nicholas Creed.

Mark Perletta: He has been on quite a winning streak since showing up here in LEGACY, but Moxley seems like a man obsessed with becoming the Tao of Valor Champion.

Landon Savage: Two thoughts on that. First, yeah, Moxley might really really REALLY want to become the next Tao of Valor Champion. He might REALLY want to be the one who takes the belt from Creed, but he had a shot before and he proved that he couldn't get the job done. In fact, that was Creed's first title defense. We know what Moxley is capable of.

Joey C: And two..?

Landon Savage: Secondly, just how badly does Moxley want to win that Tao of Valor Championship? The way I see it, if Moxley wins this match, yeah, he goes on to ADVENT EMPIRE with a shot at Creed, but that almost guarantees the fact that the Revenge of the Nerds won't be leaving with the World Tag Team Titles. Is he willing to put that personal goal above the friendship he has with D.J. Cassidy?

Joey C: Maybe the friendship isn't all that important to him.

Mark Perletta: Now come on, Moxley having two matches at ADVENT EMPIRE doesn't necessarily mean he's going to lose the World Tag Title Match, nor does it mean he won't win the Tao of Valor Title. If he gets that chance, he will have beaten Eric Wolfson, and that's no small accomplishment.

Landon Savage: That'd definitely be something that Moxley could put on his resume right beside his World Tag Title Championships, but going into this match, how many people were betting that it would happen? Not many, and early on in this match, Eric Wolfson continued to show those people why they were valid in their way of thinking.

Mark Perletta: Despite being behind early on, Herb Moxley kept his goal oriented approach in mind and kept fighting with all he had, struggling to try to make his dreams a reality.

Landon Savage: Can I be honest? It really pisses me off when someone adopts a "never say die" attitude, because quite frankly not enough people know when to quit anymore. It seems like anymore you'll have guys get into the ring and do themselves a lot of damage just because they don't know when to give up, and Herb Moxley is one of those guys.

Mark Perletta: In talking to Moxley before, it's obvious to me that part of the reason why he never gives up, part of the reason why he never quits is because of the fans. He doesn't want to let them down, so he keeps giving it his all - and in some cases he gives it more than he's got - and so far it has worked out well for him.

Landon Savage: It typically works out for everyone... that is, until they get injured and can't compete anymore. Look at guys like Chris Benoit, Jeff Hardy, and most recently Kurt Angle. They put themselves through so much for this business, and each of them had to take sabaticals so they didn't get hurt or even die in the middle of the ring. Personally I wouldn't mind if Herb ends up needing to take some time off due to injury, but that's just me.

Joey C: Getting into the ring with guys like Eric Wolfson and Nicholas Creed is exactly the type of thing that's going to put Moxley on the shelf, too. Getting in over his head and thinking that he'll just somehow magically end up on the other side all in once piece... he's dellusional, that's the only way to explain it.

Mark Perletta: Aside from the early part of tonight's main event, Moxley was doing as well in the ring against Eric Wolfson as anyone else I've seen get into the ring with him, and Creed didn't exactly steamroll Moxley when they fought several weeks ago...

Landon Savage: Yeah, and Moxley should have counted his blessings instead of trying to work towards a rematch.

Joey C: Well he put himself into a position where the front office gave him tonight's match, providing him with the opportunity to earn himself another shot at Creed, and as the show was coming to a close we found out who Creed's opponent would be for ADVENT EMPIRE...

Start : Footage from the Match

Lifting Moxley up off the mat, Eric Wolfson sends his opponent into the corner back first with a hard irish whip. When Moxley hits, he starts to slump down but his arms across the top rope hold him up. Eric then runs towards the corner to hit Moxley with some sort of splash, but as Wolfson gets close enough, Herb steps forwards and hits the SUPER SWEET NINJA KICK! Eric slumps to the mat like a ton of bricks and the fans go wild!

Moxley takes a minute in the corner to try to recover, but as Wolfson starts to get to his feet, Herb realizes that he needs to stay in on the attack, so after taking a deep breath, he runs towards Eric, leapfrogs him, hits the opposite ropes, and on the return, just as Wolfson is about to get to his feet Moxley flips over and rolls Eric up into a sunset flip.

ONE!

TWO!!

NO!!

Wolfson is able to shoulder out of the pinfall attempt, and slowly both men work to get back to their feet.

Mark Perletta: Herb with a nice pinfall attempt, he had that sunset flip locked in well but Eric Wolfson just had too much left in the tank as he was able to avoid the pinfall.

Landon Savage: Moxley should've tried to follow up that kick with something other than just a pinfall attempt, but then again, he's not exactly a veteran, now is he?

Both men back at a vertical base, Herb goes to lock up with his opponent but Eric side-steps the attempt and Wolfson is able to pick Moxley up and he drops him backwards with a belly to back suplex. Wolfson gets right back up to his feet and stomps in on Moxley a few times before grabbing him by the arm and lifting him up to his feet. Eric sends Moxley into the ropes with an irish whip, but on the return as Wolfson leaps into the air for a dropkick, Herb is able to hook his arms on the ropes, stopping his momentum. Moxley capitalizes by running in, jumping, and landing a legdrop across Eric's neck. He rolls off of him and gets back to his feet, and as he notices Eric getting back to his feet, Herb runs towards the ropes to get some momentum...

Mark Perletta: Herb Moxley with a chance to get back into this match...

Joey C: Oh I don't think so...

As Herb bounces off the ropes and heads full steam towards his opponent, Wolfson kicks sideways, nailing Moxley in the gut, doubling him over. Seeing how worn down Herb is and sensing that the end is near, Eric walks over and grabs Moxley by the head, pulls him upright and looks deep into his eyes, a smirk on Wolfson's face. Eric then puts Herb's head underneath his arm and throws Moxley's arm over his head and stands there, letting the reality of the situation set in. Wolfson then lifts Moxley straight up into the air, going for the brainbuster... but Moxley twists himself around and ends up back on his feet behind Eric Wolfson! Moxley immediately grabs Eric around his arms and twists around and DROPS Wolfson face first into the mat!

Mark Perletta: Herb Moxley hitting a move very similar to Christian's unprettier, and these fans are going wild!

Landon Savage: What was that?! I can't hear you with all these idiots screaming!

Moxley grabs Eric Wolfson by the head, forces him to his feet and then maintains his grasp around Eric's head as he runs over and ascends the turnbuckles, only to push off of the top one, spinning and turning and launching himself towards the center of the ring, pulling Wolfson down with him! Not even getting up off the mat, Moxley turns Wolfson over, grabs underneath his knee and pulls back into a pinfall position...

ONE!!

TWO!!!

THREE!!!!

Winner by PINFALL : Herb Moxley

Mark Perletta: He does it! He does it! Herb Moxley hits the DRAGON SLAYER on Eric Wolfson and he picks up the win! He just earned himself a shot at the Tao of Valor Championship and Nicholas Creed at ADVENT EMPIRE!

Joey C: A lot of people said it wouldn't happen... I said it shouldn't happen... and now that it has, I can tell you that it sucks more than I could have ever imagined.

Landon Savage: Now Herb Moxley has to deal with the reality that having earned this match could very well cost he and DJ Cassidy the World Tag Team Titles, and Herb could very well walk out of ADVENT EMPIRE with NO championship belts!

Joey C: That would be my bet were I to place one.

Mark Perletta: I'd say there's just as much chance that Herb Moxley will walk out of ADVENT EMPIRE with both of those belts, but we'll find out in just about two weeks time when LEGACY hits Boston! That's all the time we have for tonight, for Landon Savage and Joey C, I'm Mark Perletta... we're outta here!
