Chapter 38: Three's a Crowd - Xtreme Revelation August week 4

An exciting Monday night was set to start inside the jam-packed arena where they have already started to make noise for their favorite wrestlers. The intro sequence and the pyro opened the event which was followed by a tag team match to truly start off with a bang.

Lilian: "This opening tag team match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, weighing in a combined weight of 385 lbs, Paul London and Brian Kendrick!"

Rocker hit when the two energetic high flyers came out to greet the fans before running down the ramp and sliding into the ring. The two cruiserweights surveyed the crowd from two corners, standing on the middle rope before back flipping off.

Lilian: And their opponents, being accompanied to the ring by Cherry, from the Other Side of the Tracks, weighing in at 465 lbs, Deuce 'n Domino!"

I'm All About Cool played as the old school vehicle belonging to the trio drove near the ramp where the three made their entrance. Deuce 'n Domino has been out of action for weeks and now that they have returned they expect to get back on their winning ways.

Paul London and Brian Kendrick vs. Deuce 'n Domino w/ Cherry

London and Deuce began the match with a collar-elbow-tie-up before London did an arm wrench on him followed by a kick to the hamstring. He does another wrench again but gets countered with a knee to the midsection. Deuce does his own arm wrench twice only to have London use the ropes to turn the tables and get the upper hand once again. He whips Deuce to the ropes but gets reversed into a side headlock by Deuce. London pushes Deuce to the ropes and gets knocked down with a shoulder block. Deuce bounces off the ropes as London leapfrogs over him and downs him with an arm drag. He does an arm wrench before tagging in Kendrick who climbs the top rope and drops down on Deuce's arm with his forearms. Kendrick now has Deuce in a hammerlock, still focusing on that left arm his partner targeted before Deuce hit him on the face with his elbow. Deuce whips Kendrick to the corner where he charges only to get dropkicked by the knee making Deuce hit the turnbuckle with his left shoulder. He tags in London who goes to the top rope and comes down on Deuce's arm with a mushroom stomp. London whips Deuce to the ropes and goes for a dropkick but he hits nothing when Deuce stops using the ropes. He kicks London on the back twice using the sole of hit boot. Deuce pounds on London for a short while before tagging in Domino who goes to the second rope and lands on London with a diving double knee drop to the midsection. Domino picks up London and backs him into his corner where he nails him on the stomach with punches before being forced back by the referee while Deuce proceeds to choke London using the tag rope. He puts him in a sitting position with a snapmare before applying a modified abdominal stretch. London struggled to escape the hold as Domino continued to put pressure on his opponent before London used his foot to kick him on the forehead twice. He then kicked Domino on his sides before going off to the ropes only to get a leg lariat. Domino tagged in Deuce and the two do a combination of moves to London with Domino first hitting an atomic drop followed by Deuce connecting with a missile dropkick to the back. Deuce goes for the pin as London kicked out at the count of 2. He was about to go for a belly to back suplex on London but he managed to flip out of the move and downed him with a neckbreaker. He crawled for the tag to Kendrick but was stopped by Domino, who ran across the ring to keep London from tagging out by attacking Kendrick. Deuce drags London to his corner where Domino is made the legal man who picks up London for an Irish whip to an open corner with hard hitting speed. Once there, he put London on the top rope for a super double underhook suplex but he gripped the ropes so it could be avoided. When London refused to let go, Domino pounded on his back but London would fight back with forearms to the face and managed to push Domino down. He dived down on Domino with a mushroom stomp on the back followed by a dropsault. Kendrick reached in for the tag as his partner crawled towards him while Domino staggered to his corner. Eventually Kendrick was tagged in while Deuce was made his team's legal man. Kendrick ducked under Deuce's clothesline to bounce off the ropes for a dropkick to the face. He whips Deuce to a corner where he nails him with a corner backflip dropkick. Now with London's assistance, he bounces off the ropes and gets thrown overhead towards Deuce and Domino for a double dropkick. They now do a series of double team maneuvers on them, first a double flapjack followed by two double superkicks on both men. After a springboard tornado DDT, Kendrick got hold of Domino, who tried to help his partner but gets a calf kick, before attempting Sliced Bread #2 but gets reversed. London levels Domino with a kick to the face, leaving him unconscious but still standing in the corner as Kendrick delivers Sliced Bread #2 on Deuce by running off Domino's back. Kendrick pins Deuce to the mat as London pulls Domino out of the ring to foil any plans on him stopping the count.

Lilian: "Here are your winners, Paul London and Brian Kendrick!"

With the two cruiserweights picking up the win, the duo from the Other Side of the Tracks were irate as Domino tried to get his hands on them but they rolled out of the ring. London and Kendrick celebrated their latest win as they went up the ramp. The cameras now head to the announce team of Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler.

JR: "That an incredible showing from both teams but we all know who pulled out all the stops to get the win and that's those two. Welcome to another hard hitting edition of Xtreme Revelation and we still have a lot of action coming."

Lawler: "We have Shawn Michaels, who will face MVP at Blackout, going against the Rated R Superstar, Edge. Chris Jericho on the other hand will be dealing with the Franchise Playa, MVP while Mr. Kennedy will be facing the leader of Ground Zero, Randy Orton."

JR: "Over the weekend, the former IWA Tag Team Champions and members of Ground Zero, Alwyn Larson and Rob Van Dam have made a challenge to the same duo who cost them their IWA Tag Team Titles, The Zeroes and they accepted. So it will be The Zeroes versus Alwyn Larson and Rob Van Dam."

Lawler: "And for our main event, we will have a handicap match with the IWA Champion teaming up with the Big Red Monster, Kane, against the World's Largest Athlete, the Big Show. Now let's head backstage where we have an interview about to start."

Backstage, there was an interview set to happen with Montel Vontavious Porter about his match with the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.

Grisham: "MVP, what do you think of your match with Shawn Michaels at Blackout?

MVP: "I don't know if Michaels is still sore from me beating him or he just wants MVP beat him one more time for his 15 minutes of fame. Whatever his reason is, I beat him on Road to Nowhere and I'm going to beat him again in that No Finisher match."

The Franchise Player left the set with a smile but not for long because after getting to three steps, he was nailed with a boot under the chin that knocked him unconscious. The camera revealed that what knocked him out was Sweet Chin Music and the one who delivered it was Shawn Michaels.

Michaels: "It's not because you beat me, it's because it's for every fan in the world who just want me to shut you up."

Michaels walked to the opposite direction to get ready for his match which was coming up later in the night. Right after the events that commenced backstage, the next match was set to begin with each superstar's entrances.

Lilian: "This next match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 236 lbs, Matt Hardy!"

Live for the Moment hit as the older Hardy of the family walked out to the cheers of the crowd. Matt walked down the ramp and into the ring ready to face his next opponent and try to get the victory.

Lilian: "And his opponent from Jacksonville, Florida, weighing in at 294 lbs, Tyson Tomko!"

Screwed began when Tomko entered the arena and he walked down to the ring. Tomko ignored the crowd reaction he was receiving which didn't matter to him because all he wants was a victory.

Matt Hardy vs. Tyson Tomko

The match began with Tomko kicking Matt on the midsection repeatedly when he went for a collar-elbow-tie-up. Now he was landing clubbing blows to the spine of his opponent before whipping him to the ropes for a back drop only to be leaped over by Matt for a sunset flip which resulted in a 1 and a half count. Matt took the upper hand with his fist making its way to Tomko's face a few times before getting forced into a corner. After attacking Matt in the corner with kicks to the midsection and choking him using his boot, he whips him across the ring and charges only to get an elbow to the face. Tomko still insisted in running towards Matt but collided with his boot. Matt went up to the second rope before jumping off of it and landing on Tomko with a flying clothesline. He went for a suplex on the bigger man but was overpowered and thrown on the top rope. Tomko ran off the ropes and connected with a knee lift to the side of his head, knocking him to the arena floor. He follows him to the ringside area as Matt struggled to get to his feet. Tomko lifts up Matt in a military press before dropping him to the floor. He throws him into the ring through the ropes and goes for a pin only to have a 2 count. He slams Matt's head on the top turnbuckle twice before whipping him to the corner across the ring but feigns it as he turns it around and throws him to the same corner. He pulls Matt in for delayed vertical suplex. Tomko picked up Matt and threw him to the ropes but had him hit him with a clothesline that didn't knock the big man down. Matt ran off the ropes again for a clothesline and again didn't fell Tomko. When he went to the ropes a third time, Tomko connected with a spinebuster. He covered Matt as the referee counted to 2 before Matt kicked out. The Problem Solver placed Matt on his shoulder for a front powerslam which he escaped and pushed into the corner chest first and followed up with an inverted DDT. Matt landed rights and lefts to Tomko's face before stunning him with a discuss punch. He ducked under Tomko's clothesline and ran to the ropes for a forearm smash that didn't knock his opponent down. He went for the Twist of Fate on Tomko after a kick to the midsection but was overpowered when he lifted him up and placed him on the apron. The Man Who Will Not Die stopped Tomko with a shoulder thrust through the ropes and hung him up using the top rope. Matt quickly went to the top rope and launched himself with a diving bulldog on his opponent. Tomko tried to recover in the corner but wasn't given a break when Matt hit a corner clothesline and tried to follow up with a bulldog only to be pushed into a corner. Tomko tried to go on the offensive by charging towards him which was a bad idea when he got a drop toe hold towards the middle turnbuckle and walked into Matt's signature Side Effect. Matt signaled for the Twist of Fate to the fans but before it fully hit, Tomko countered it into a back suplex. The Insurance Policy had enough of his opponent as he attempted to knock his head off his shoulders with his running arched big boot but it was dodged. Tomko had his foot stuck on the top rope as Matt rolled him up for the pin and the surprise 3 count.

Lilian: "Here is your winner, Matt Hardy!"

Matt rolled out of the ring as Tomko sat up in the ring, bitter, when he heard the post-match announcement. The Sensei of Mattitude celebrated as he made his way up of the ramp but was cut off when Goldberg and Hardcore Holly attacked him from behind. Holly rolled Mat into the ring where Tomko waited. Tomko picked up the victor of the match and hoisted him up for a argentine neckbreaker.

Tomko exited the ring as Holly and Goldberg entered the ring and stood before Matt. Goldberg picked him up forcefully and set him up for the Jackhammer. The two weren't done yet as Holly told Goldberg to go to the top rope. Holly lifted up Matt in a delayed vertical as Goldberg jumped off the corner for a diving Spear/ suplex combination with his partner. The two stood satisfied with their actions, avenging Holly's loss to Matt last week. Holly and Goldberg left the ring as the show went to its first commercial break.

-COMMERCIAL-

The show returns with a scene backstage where The Ultimate Opportunist is about to be interviewed.

Grisham: "Edge, what are your plans on your match at the next pay-per-view, now knowing who your opponent is?"

Edge: "Up to now, I didn't really care who I was going to face but when Jayden Smith revealed who it was on BLOCKBUSTER, it really mattered. Triple H is known around the world as the "King of Kings" and even the announce team calls him that. After I beat him mercilessly at the PPV, he'll be called the King of Crutches, because he'll be using those to keep walking!"

Edge left the interview after telling Grisham his answer on his thoughts on his future match with the BLOCKBUSTER representative. The cameras now go to the ring where the next match was about to begin.

Lilian: "This next match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Manhasset, New York, weighing in at 225 lbs, Chris Jericho!"

Break Down The Walls played after the countdown had reached zero and the set of pyro almost set the stage on fire as Jericho emerged from the smoke, doing his signature stance on the stage. Jericho will finally get his chance again at Mr. Kennedy at Blackout for the title once again but this time there will be no interference.

Lilian: "And his opponent, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 249 lbs, Montel Vontavious Porter, MVP!"

I'm Comin' was heard as the fans waited for the highly-hyped superstar came out to the phrase "I'm Comin'". He walked down the ramp and saw the man he denied of being an Intercontinental Champion once before activating his pyro. MVP entered the ring, facing Jericho one on one.

Chris Jericho vs. MVP

Jericho and MVP start of with technical mat wrestling as MVP did an arm wrench and went under Jericho's arm for a takedown using the arm. Now he had a side headlock on Jericho that kept him on his back before he reversed it into a roll up for a 1 count. Jericho put down MVP with an arm drag twice before whipping him to the ropes where he lied down on his stomach and throwing MVP to the air with a back body drop. Jericho was about to go for the Walls of Jericho early but MVP prevented it by kicking him on the chest. MVP tried tossing Jericho out of the ring but Jericho held onto the ropes and was about to skin the cat before MVP hit him with a knee, sending him to the floor. MVP exited the ring and stomped on Jericho's back as he was still grounded after falling from the ring. He picked him up and was about to slam his head on the steel steps but was stopped with elbows to the midsection and in turn slammed MVP on the steps before rolling him into the ring. Before Jericho got into the ring, MVP did a baseball slide towards his opponent's feet, knocking him down the apron. MVP waited for Jericho to do another attempt to get into the ring where he tried to suplex Jericho in which was reversed in Jericho's attempt to suplex him out of the ring only to have him land beside him. The two got into a fist fight with Jericho getting a kick to the midsection from MVP before ducking a huge punch that was aimed for Jericho's head. Jericho pushed MVP towards the steel ring post before reentering the ring and running towards the ropes for a springboard dropkick to MVP's face. He rested for a while in the ring until the referee had reached a 5 count before going out of the ring and rolling MVP in the ring for a pin that reached up to a 2 count. Y2J whipped MVP to the ropes but is reversed making Jericho run off the ropes and into a big boot square on the face. MVP whips Jericho to the ropes where he nails him with a knee to the midsection. After that, MVP landed on Jericho with a senton on the same area he hit the knee earlier. He put Jericho in a hold that focused on his ribs, a bodyscissors move, to wear down his opponent. Whenever he had the chance, The Franchise Playa would grab the middle ropes for added leverage and let go when the referee was about to turn his head. Jericho fought back with elbows to the face and managed to escape. The Savior landed a series of forearms to MVP's face before whipping him to the ropes for a spinning wheel kick. He then got MVP on the second rope and was about to run off the ropes only to be thrown with a snap overhead belly to belly suplex. He quickly got on Jericho for a pin but he kicked out just in time for a near fall. MVP now had Jericho in his clutches and drove his knee to his midsection five times before going for an Irish whip to a corner. The Ballin' Superstar signaled for a big move before running towards his opponent for a big boot only to miss when Jericho moved out of the way. Jericho took down MVP with a chop block while he struggled to remove his foot on the top rope. He then whipped MVP to a corner with force as he ran off the ropes and went for a successful bulldog right on the center of the ring. With MVP lying face up now after taking that bulldog, the Ayatollah of Rock 'n Rolla went to the ropes and attempted the Lionsault but MVP had his knees up. As Jericho stumbled with his gut hurting, MVP hit him with a facebreaker knee smash. Seeing Jericho down near the ropes made MVP grin as he told the crowd it was time to go "BALLIN!'" where he performed the Ballin' Elbow. He waited for Jericho to get up because he was going for the Playmaker which was countered with a back suplex. Jericho now went to the top rope as MVP tried to get to a vertical base before getting knocked back down with a missile dropkick. He went for a pin on MVP only to get a 2 count when MVP kicked out. Jericho had already taken down MVP and applied the Walls of Jericho on him, just putting some pressure on his back. He was prepared to hear MVP's hand tapping against the mat but before that could happen there was a sudden interruption. Turn Up The Trouble began playing and the Intercontinental Champion walked to the stage. Kennedy grabbed his signature microphone that descended from the arena roof and began to speak towards his challenger.

Kennedy: "Is that the best you got, Jericho? I know kids who could beat MVP to a pulp and those kids could take my Intercontinental Championship away from me."

Jericho challenged Kennedy to come down to the ring but was declined when Kennedy stayed put on the stage. When Jericho turned around, he got a quick kick to the midsection and was a victim of the Playmaker from MVP. The King of Bling hooked Jericho's leg for the winning 3 seconds.

Lilian: "Here is your winner, MVP"

Kennedy: "Ladies and gentlemen, the LOSER of the match, Chris Jericho!!"

The Intercontinental Champion had distracted Jericho long enough to get him on the losing side of the match and had to rub it in. As MVP climbed up the ramp, Kennedy took a walk down towards the ring and went inside. He stood right beside Jericho and put his Intercontinental Championship on the side of his face before saying "You can't win this" before picking him up and delivering the Mic Check on him.

Now backstage, the Big Red Machine is set to be interviewed by Todd Grisham.

Grisham: "Kane, I'm sure everybody wants you to explain why you started attacking the Big Show and the IWA Champion John Cena?"

Kane: "I want the IWA Championship. Show already had his chance and I'm supposed to be the next but he won't give up so I took my chance. At Blackout, I will become IWA Champion."

Kane now proceeded to do a sinister laugh, making Grisham leave the set as Kane continued laughing. In another area of the locker room, the new IWA Tag Team Champions have just arrived in the arena with their IWA Tag Team titles resting on their shoulder. Before they could enter their rooms, the former champions stopped them.

Roode: "Hey Storm, look who do we have here: Rob Van Dam and Alwyn Larson, the FORMER tag team champions. You guys here to congratulate us on our big pay off with our new championships?"

Larson: "No we're not here for that. Me and Van Dam are just here to remind you that the two of you that we still have a rematch clause in our contract and we'll cash in that opportunity sooner than later."

RVD: "Right after we take care of the reason why the two of you are champions."

Storm: "Hold on right there, we won these belts fair and square and if you're accusing us of cheating then you have no proof! I could wrestle both of you drunk and still win."

RVD: "Are you sure you're up for it because if you ain't going to back up your word, you're just stuffing both your feet in your mouth."

Before a fight broke out, their partners stopped the other from hitting the other person's partner. Roode dragged his partner inside their locker room while Larson had let go of Van Dam already. After that matter was dealt with, the camera goes to the ring where a tag team match is about to start.

Lilian: "This tag team match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Jefferson County, Alabama, weighing in at 245 lbs, Mike Speedway!"

Code of the Road hit and the former professional racer now wrestler began to make his way down to the ring. He has been quite in the bad side of the ring because he's been losing recently and hopes to turn that around with someone to help him.

Lilian: "And his partner, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 219 lbs, Cody Rhodes!

Out to Kill began when the son of the great the "American Dream" came out and made his entrance down to the squared circle. Rhodes, who is getting better with each match he is participating, would love to get a shot at any title he could be in possible contention and that road could start tonight.

Lilian: "And their opponents, weighing in a combined weight of 471 lbs, the team of Tazz and The Miz!"

Reality played as the former Xtreme Generation Champion and his bodyguard appeared on the stage and started to go down the ramp. The Miz has been out of it as of late, losing his title almost a month ago and still hasn't got up to speed with his wins while Tazz just tries to help Miz. Hopefully to the Chick Magnet and his partner, this would change tonight.

Cody Rhodes and Mike Speedway vs. The Miz and Tazz

Rhodes and Tazz start off the match where Tazz kicked things off with a hard right hand to Rhodes' face and put him in a side headlock and taking him down. Rhodes managed to put his legs around Tazz's neck to get out of the hold and get to his feet before doing an arm drag. After doing another one, Rhodes tags in Speedway who comes off the top rope with an axe handle to the arm. Speedway wrenches Tazz's arm and it earns him a knee to the midsection followed by a punch from Tazz's left hand and was whipped to the ropes for a shoulder block. Tazz bounces off the ropes as Speedway lied on his belly and receives a lariat from Tazz. He stomps on Speedway for a while before picking him up and pushing him towards his corner where he tags in Miz. Miz attacks his opponent with shot after shot to the head before being forced back by the referee while Tazz continued the attack with kicks to the side. Miz pulled Speedway from the corner for a neckbreaker. He hooked his leg for the first pin attempt but he kicked out at 1 and a half. Miz did it again and again received a 1 and a half count from the match official. Miz picks up Speedway and whipped him to the ropes for a clothesline but is ducked under by Speedway who bounces off the ropes for a corkscrew back elbow smash. He clotheslines Miz and backs him to his corner where he tags in Rhodes. Speedway beats Miz for a while before backing up with Rhodes as he whips Rhodes towards Miz for a shoulder thrust with more velocity. Rhodes kicks Miz on the midsection and hits him with a knee lift but before he could follow up, Tazz got him right on the back of the head with his forearm. Miz tried to capitalize with a suplex only to have Rhodes land behind him and go for a roll up which only ended up as a 2 count. Rhodes connected with a Russian Legsweep after ducking under a right hand from Miz. He was about to got to the top rope for a diving attack but Tazz pushed him off of the corner, making him crash on the ringside floor. The referee warned Tazz that if he does that act again he will be disqualified as Miz got out of the ring to punish his opponent. Miz stomped on Rhodes while trash talking before tossing him in. Miz slams Rhodes with a scoop slam and drops an elbow on Rhodes' chest before going for a pin which was only a near fall. He tags in Tazz and he throws Rhodes with an overhead underhook suplex. He then attempted to apply the Tazzmission but Rhodes managed to get Tazz to a corner where he made Tazz collide with the top turnbuckle face first. Rhodes tried to stand while Tazz tagged in Miz and the Grand Mizard of Lust charged towards him where his momentum was used against him with a snap scoop powerslam and finally tagged in Speedway. Speedway jumped over Miz and knocked Tazz off the apron with a forearm before hitting Miz with a bulldog. When Tazz tried to get inside the ring, he is denied of access when Speedway clotheslined him over the top rope and connected with an inverted suplex on Miz. He then performed an inverted facelock backbreaker followed by a German suplex. Speedway was about to try a clothesline but is blocked and turned into a forward Russian Legsweep. He went for a pin only to have Rhodes interrupt it at 2. The referee now was making Rhodes go back to the corner while Miz had Speedway in a vulnerable position for a cheap shot. He told Tazz to hit Speedway and he tried but Speedway managed to duck meaning the shot hit Miz. Speedway now capitalized with the Speedway Race and pinned Miz as Rhodes prevented Tazz from getting in the ring.

Lilian: "Here are your winners, Cody Rhodes and Mike Speedway!"

Rhodes entered the ring and helped up the man who pinned Miz and raised his arm. The two winners exited the ring as Tazz helped up Miz only to have Miz shrug him off. Miz gave Tazz a tongue lashing right after the match which made Tazz leave the ring and Miz soon followed.

JR: "Well now, we're seeing some disagreements between those two and it looks like Miz isn't done flapping his gums just yet."

Lawler: "Later on tonight, we will have Shawn Michaels vs. Edge and on our main event, Kane and the IWA Champion John Cena come together against the Big Show."

Backstage, we can see the two men who are about to try to beat the other until one of them gets pinned. These two men were the current Intercontinental Champion, Mr. Kennedy and the leader of Ground Zero, Randy Orton.

Lilian: "This next match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, representing Ground Zero, from St. Louis Missouri, and weighing in at 240 lbs, Randy Orton!"

Voices played as Orton exited through the curtain while the crowd stood on their feet to cheer for him. The leader of the newest group in IWA must be looking forward to his match with John Morrison, the commander of the Impact Connection. Now he must focus on the match that he is about to compete in.

Lilian: "And his opponent, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, weighing in at 243 lbs, the Intercontinental Champion Mr. Kennedy!"

Turn Up The Trouble Remix was heard when Kennedy came out towards the stage where he raised his arm as his signature microphone lowered down from the rafters and in his hand.

Kennedy: "Ladies and gentlemen, you shall see the greatest Intercontinental Champion to walk down this very ramp in action tonight! In addition to that in just one week and six days time, you will see me beat the living daylights out of your "hero", Shawn Michaels. This I promise you for I am MIIIIIIIISSSTTEEERRRR KEEEENNEEEEEDDDYYYYY!! KENNEDY!"

The Intercontinental Champion threw up his microphone into the air and continued down the ramp. Kennedy entered the ring and raised his title into the air in front of the displeased crowd before the match began.

Non Title Match:

Randy Orton vs. Intercontinental Champion Mr. Kennedy

The two superstars met at the center of the ring in a collar-elbow-tie-up and Kennedy was the one to go for a side headlock. He did a cheap right hand on Orton's noggin before getting pushed to the ropes as he gets knocked down with a shoulder block. Orton bounced off the ropes as Kennedy took down his opponent with a drop toe hold. Kennedy put on a front facelock on the downed Orton to keep him down and avoid him from getting any momentum. When Orton managed to get to his feet, Kennedy whipped him to a corner and was about to run towards him for an attack but is denied of that when Orton stops him with a reverse elbow. He slams Kennedy's head on the top turnbuckle and attacks him with European Uppercuts followed by punches to the face. Orton now whipped Kennedy to the corner across the ring and tossed him up for a back body drop when he bounced off the corner. He now picks up Kennedy when he got up to his feet and puts him down with a scoop slam and followed up with a forearm drop to the face. He went for a pin on Kennedy but he kicked out at 1. Orton picked up Kennedy and landed another European Uppercut before clotheslining him over the top rope. Kennedy took his Intercontinental Championship and tried to leave as he was in the process of being counted out but Orton didn't want to win by count out so he exited the ring and came after his opponent. He took him back into the ring which Kennedy capitalized by kicking Orton as he climbed into the ring. Kennedy dropped elbows to Orton's back to prevent him from getting back on his feet. He sat on Orton's back and shouted at him while slapping him at the back of the head. The Legend Killer eventually escaped by elbowing Kennedy in the face. He rushed towards his opponent only to receive a dropkick to the leg, making him land on the middle rope. Kennedy now pushed his knee on the neck of Orton, choking him as the referee counted up to five. He eventually stopped at 4 before he whipped Orton to the ropes for a reverse elbow to the face. Kennedy covered him as the referee counted the pin only to get a 2 count. Wisconsin's Proud Loudmouth backed Orton in a corner where he beat him on the head before being forced back by the referee. With Orton sitting in the corner, Kennedy ran off the ropes and hit a facewash. He dragged him to the middle of the ring and tried to pin him but he managed to kick out at 2. The Intercontinental Champion was getting furious at Orton's frequent kick outs so he took a moment to stomp on him again and again before the referee's count of 5. Kennedy tried to clothesline Orton out of the ring but backfired when he tossed him over the top rope for a moment's reprieve. When Kennedy was able to get on the apron and tried to enter the ring, Orton kicked him, stopping him in mid entrance. He then grabbed Kennedy and pulled him slowly as his feet balanced on the second rope while the fans stood on their feet when Orton drilled his opponent with a devastating elevated implant DDT. The two were down after that move as the referee has begun to count them out. Orton was the first to get on his feet with Kennedy soon following but Orton clotheslined him when he turned around. He does this twice more before whipping Kennedy to the ropes for a clothesline, which he ducked under but failed to dodge his dropkick. He then did a European Uppercut before whipping Kennedy to the corners twice and connected with a snap scoop powerslam and hooked Kennedy's leg for the pin only to have him kick out at 2. Orton now picked up Kennedy but was taken by surprise when he took him down with a snap DDT. He placed Orton on the top rope and was going for the Green Bay Plunge but Orton fought back with elbows to the side of the head which knocked Kennedy down to the mat. He then stood on the top rope and dove on Kennedy with a crossbody for the pin but Kennedy managed to pull his shoulder up just in time for a 2 count. The Viper now was pounding his fists to the mat, signaling that he is ready to finish the match with the RKO. When Kennedy was now on his feet, Orton attempted the RKO but was pushed away to the ropes and found himself being a victim of Kennedy's Green Bay Plunge. The Green Bay Gladiator was about to go for the Mic Check only to have it reversed into the RKO. Orton had the match won when he hit his finishing move but out of nowhere, John Morrison came out beneath the ring and placed Kennedy's foot on the bottom rope before going back under the ring. The referee stopped the count when he saw the boot on the rope, giving Orton a 2 count. Morrison came out again from under the ring, on the other side now, and had a brief stare down with the leader of Ground Zero before Kennedy took the opportunity and dropped Orton with the Mic Check and pinned him to the mat.

Lilian: "Here is your winner, the Intercontinental Champion Mr. Kennedy!"

Morrison looked on as Kennedy got his arm raised after his win before exiting the ring. The Guru of Greatness entered the ring and stared at Orton through the shades he wore before removing them and attacking the downed Orton. As he pounded on Orton, a member of Ground Zero, Kurt Angle, came running down the ramp to help out Orton. Morrison saw Angle and got up to defend himself but was losing the fist fight with Angle as he was clotheslined. He then caught him when he got to a vertical base and threw him with an overhead belly to belly suplex.

The Impact Connection's own Benedict Rockwell came out beneath the ring and sneaked up on Angle and nailed him with the Turning Point when he turned around. He helped up Morrison to his feet and put him in the corner to recover as Angle tried to get up. He then held up Angle as Morrison walked up and slapped Angle in the face. Rockwell then performed his signature move called The Highlight but didn't see Bobby Lashley run into the ring. Lashley grabbed Morrison, who was about to intercept him, and Rockwell by the throat and pushed Morrison into the corner before kicking Rockwell in the midsection and throwing him into Morrison like a battering ram.

He then suplexed Rockwell with an Exploder suplex before going for the Dominator on Morrison but was stopped when Monty Brown came from the crowd and tackled Lashley. Brown now stopped Angle from getting up by tossing him out of the ring before focusing on the powerhouse of Ground Zero. Brown now did a Russian Legsweep on him and rolled through for an armbar on Lahsley's arm. He was stopped by Orton who stomped on Brown's chest. Rockwell came back as he executed the Full Volume Edition on Orton from behind. He also attempted another one on Lashley but was countered and thrown out of the ring.

The current International Tag Team Champions, The Zeroes, entered the fray and gave their team the upper hand when they attacked Lashley. They double teamed him with a spinebuster/ leg lariat combination. Orton and Angle came in and defended their partner by doing their finishers on each Zero. Brown and Morrison came from behind but it was only a matter of time when final two members of Ground Zero emerged from the backstage area and helped out their partners. Larson speared Brown and RVD took out Morrison with a corkscrew dropkick. Rockwell tried to help out but got leveled with a double superkick from Larson and RVD.

Morrison and the Impact Connection tried to retreat but left Rockwell and Warwick in the ring with Ground Zero. Orton planted Rockwell with the RKO while Lashley picked up Warwick and slammed him to the mat with the Dominator. Larson placed Warwick on Rockwell as Van Dam went to the top rope. The other members of the Impact Connection were forced to watch as Van Dam dived on the other two with the Five Star Frog Splash. Ground Zero challenged their enemy group to come back but they denied as the show went to a commercial break.

-COMMERCIAL-

JR: "If you have just tuned in then you missed a hell of a bar fight, or something that looked like it."

Lawler: "This fight started out in the ending moments of Randy Orton's match with Mr. Kennedy where John Morrison popped out from under the ring and helped Kennedy survive before he capitalized and hit the Mic Check."

JR: "It was there where it began with Morrison attacking the helpless Orton until Kurt Angle showed up. Other members of the Impact Connection soon came out followed by Ground Zero's other members and it became a ring filled battle royal."

Lawler: "Eventually, Ground Zero got rid of the Impact Connection and sent a message to them through Rob Van Dam's Five Star Frog Splash. This inter-brand faction fight could lead to one hell of a war."

JR: "But back to the present, folks. We have the Largest Athlete of the World about to be interviewed backstage."

Grisham: "Big Show, what is your plan tonight for your match against Kane and John Cena?"

Show: "My plan is like it always was, overpowering them with my power. Cena has been lucky being alive as of now because of Kane. It may be technically 2 on 1 but in reality its 3 on 2: Me, my size and my right hand vs. Kane and John Cena."

Show left the set and walked off to another backstage area, about to get ready for the main event. The next match was about to begin the introduction of two main eventers pitted as the second to the last match of the night.

Lilian: "This match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from San Antonio, Texas, weighing in at 225 lbs, Shawn Michaels!"

Sexy Boy began and Michaels came out towards the stage while the fans stood on their feet to see The Icon. Michaels knelt at the start of the ramp as he prayed for a moment and activated his pyro. Though there won't be any prayers needed that can help MVP in their match where he cannot use Sweet Chin Music.

Lilian: "And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 250 lbs, Edge!"

Metallingus hit as the smoke began to appear on the stage before Edge walked through the white smoke. He then walked down the ramp and activated his pyro before continuing down to the ring. Edge has spent the past weeks complaining that BLOCKBUSTER, the whole brand, cost him of his gold medal and will face the representative of the brand, Triple H, at the PPV.

Shawn Michaels vs. Edge

As the match got underway, MVP made his presence known by walking down to the ring as Michaels and Edge locked up in the center of the ring. Michaels wrenched Edge's arm while MVP walked around the ring and took a seat beside the commentators and watched the match. He worked on the arm with a few punches to the shoulder before taking down Edge with a arm drag. Edge managed to get up to his feet he pushed Michaels to the ropes and whipped him across the ring and hip tosses him. It was Edge's turn now to do punishment on Michaels' arm but is reversed with an armbar takedown. Michaels was going for a hammerlock on his opponent but receives an elbow to the face and is pushed into the corner where Edge batters his opponent before whipping him across the ring which gets reversed and Edge was the one who hit the corner. Michaels charged towards Edge but is tossed to the outside. Michaels managed to land on his feet on the apron and nail Edge with a forearm to the face. He tried to get in the ring but is kicked on the side of the head, knocking him off the apron. Edge exits the ring and forces Michaels to his feet so he could slam his face on the ring apron twice. He tried slamming his face on the steel steps but he stopped it just in time and did what Edge planned to do to him. As the referee's count continued, Michaels dragged Edge towards the announce table and plants his face on it and pointed towards MVP. After throwing Edge into the ring, MVP stood up from his seat getting Michaels' attention and traded verbal blows with him as the referee continued counting. Out of nowhere, Edge caught Michaels with a baseball slide dropkick that made him hit the announce table. MVP moved back to his seat after that and Edge rolled in Michaels towards the center of the ring for a pinfall attempt but got a 2 count. He then stomped on Michaels before putting him in a sitting position for a sleeper hold. The hold wasn't enough to keep Michaels down as he fought back to his feet and punched Edge's midsection before throwing him to the ropes where they both butt heads. They get a little tipsy but manage to get up and punch the other on the face with Michaels kicking Edge on the stomach only to get his eyes poked and whipped to the corner with Michaels landing on his back hardly. Edge drags Michaels to the center of the ring where he punished his back by driving his forearms and knees to the back. He soon picked up Michaels and pushed him into a corner where he thrust his shoulders on his back. From there he lifted up Michaels onto the top turnbuckle. He tried to follow for a super back suplex which was stopped when Michaels got Edge on the forehead with his elbow three times before pushing him off. Michaels now stood on the top rope as Edge tried to shake off the hits he just got before Michaels landed on him after he jumped off the corner with a moonsault. When The Icon got up, he tried to whip Edge to the ropes only to be reversed. He ducked under a clothesline and connected with a flying forearm smash. The Heartbreak Kid kicked Edge on the midsection and bounced off the ropes for a knee lift followed up by a clothesline. He now slams him to the ground with a scoop slam and headed to the top rope. With the fans standing on their feet to see Michaels' signature move, a basic diving elbow with his own theatrics, and landed perfectly. Michaels was fired up and so was everyone in the arena as he went to a corner, pointed at MVP, which made him stand up, before he stomped on the canvas to signal his finisher coming. He was about to clock Edge with Sweet Chin Music but he missed when Edge managed to dodge and execute the Edge-O-Matic on his opponent. He went for the pin on Michaels and expected the 3 count but received a 2 count instead. The Rated R Superstar now waited in the corner for Michaels to get up. When he did, he began to run towards hi for the Spear but missed his mark when he collided with the corner turnbuckles instead. MVP tried to get the attention of his opponent by getting on the apron and succeeded in some sort when he earned himself a dose of Sweet Chin Music. He was about to nail Edge with another but again did not hit his man and almost hit the referee but managed to stop. The Ultimate Opportunist on the other hand didn't miss with the Spear off the ropes and pinned his opponent.

Lilian: "Here is your winner, Edge!"

With the Master Manipulator picking up the win, Edge got some much needed momentum for his match next week at the pay-per-view. As soon Edge exited the ring, MVP entered the ring and walked towards the downed Shawn Michaels. He slapped him on the side of his head while yelling "I'm better than you and you know that!" before kicking him on the gut. MVP was about to attempt the Drive-By Kick on his rival but was hit with Sweet Chin Music, the move he cannot do at their match, before he could do so. Now that Michaels got retribution for MVP costing him the match, he now left the ring as the fans cheered him out.

Backstage, we see all three men who are going to face each other for the IWA Championship in a Triple Threat walking to the curtain. Cena and Kane met up halfway there and looked at the other with Kane just walking past him while doing a sinister laugh.

Lilian: "This main event handicap match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, weighing in at 485 lbs, the Big Show!

Crank It Up was heard when a set of pyro activated on the stage. Show came out behind the curtain and walked down to the ring, ready to send a message by destroying his opponents tonight with just about a week and 6 days to Blackout.

Lilian: "And their opponents, first standing at 7 ft. tall, weighing in at 323 lbs, Kane!"

Man on Fire was accompanied by a blast of hell fire coming out on the stage as Kane emerged and walked down the ramp. Kane has wreaked havoc on Show and Cena starting two weeks and hasn't planned to stop now.

Lilian: "And his partner, from West Newberry, Massachusetts, weighing in at 240 lbs, the IWA Champion John Cena!"

The Time is Now blared and the crowd stood up for The Champ as he came out and saluted the fans on the edge of the stage. Cena entered the ring, not even hesitating one bit, and stood between the two giants before raising his high for the two to see. With two major threats in the ring, and one being his partner, Cena showed courage by not being a coward as he started the match with Show.

IWA Champion John Cena and Kane vs. The Big Show

Show and Cena stood in the ring ready to grapple but Cena knew that Show will just throws him everywhere so he kept moving around him while hitting some punches. Eventually he gets caught and Show begins to dish out the punishment by headbutting Cena twice. He drags him into an open corner and puts him there in a sitting position where he just pushed his boot on his neck for a few seconds before releasing the choke. He picks him up and puts him on the top turnbuckle and slaps his chest with his large hand. He was about to throw Cena over his head but he fought back with punches and kicks to the chest. Cena grabbed Show by the head and jumped off to the outside, hanging Show on the top rope in the process. He rushed into the ring where he knocked Show down with a chopblock. He then tagged in Kane and he did a leg drop twice before putting him in a sitting position and bouncing off the ropes for a dropkick to the chest. Kane went for the pin but Show kicked out at 1 and a half. He then stomps on Show for a while before dropping an elbow to the chest. He then pushes him under the bottom rope before going off the ropes for a baseball slide dropkick that sent Show to the floor. As the referee counted and Show tried to get to his feet, Kane heard Cena suggest something and he agreed by tagging in Cena. Cena was then lifted up into the air in a military press like way and thrown over the top rope by Kane and landed in the arms of Show, knocking him down. Kane exited the ring and tried to help Cena pick up Show and put him into the ring but fail when he pushes them back with Kane and Cena hitting the steel steps and the edge of the apron respectively. Show rolled Cena into the ring where he walked on Cena twice. He then continued the punishment by dropping elbows to his chest twice. Show picked up Cena and scoop slammed him to the mat while he pointed out to Kane, taunting him using the legal man of their team. He then pushes Cena into a corner where he shushes the crowd before dropping his frying pan shaped palm on Cena's chest hard. After doing it once more, he steps back until there was running space between the two of them before running towards him for a running hip attack only to have Cena side step it. He then began to hit a few punches to the face of Show before bouncing off the ropes for a running shoulder block but Show uses his stature and size as an advantage and isn't affected by the move. The Giant now picked up Cena and connected with a sidewalk slam. Now with Cena positioned near the corner after Show pulled him near it, Show proceeded to climb up the turnbuckles facing the crowd. He planned to jump off the middle rope with a slingshot splash but Cena rolled out of the way instead. With both of them struggling to their feet, Kane extended his arm to get tagged in by Cena. Eventually, he is tagged in and he punches the newly recovered Show and ducked under an attempted left handed punch from Show where he clotheslined him but it didn't fell the larger competitor. Kane did this again and managed to down Show to the mat. As he tried to get up, Kane bounced off the ropes and nailed Show on the side of the head with his boot. Show tried to recover in the corner only to have no moment to rest when Kane came charging with a clothesline twice. Show was now groggy as Kane climbed up to the top turnbuckle with the fans starting to cheer. When Show turned around, he was on the receiving end of a diving clothesline from the Big Red Monster. He signaled for the Chokeslam on Show but he countered by clobbering him with his knockout hook. The World's Largest Athlete now trapped Kane using the ropes where he nailed him with rights on the midsection and kicked him on the face with his boot. Cena came in and tried help the situation by jumping on Show's back with a sleeper hold on his neck. Show was slowly losing strength so he ran backwards into a corner. He then began firing shots with his powerful right hand on Cena's midsection as the referee began to release Kane from the ropes. When he was out of the ropes, Kane turned Show around, kicked him on the midsection and DDT'd him to the canvas. Then he turned to Cena and helped him up before pointing at Show. They waited for Show to get up and then kicked him on the stomach; put both of their arms on their necks before doing the almost impossible, double-suplexing the World's Largest Athlete. Kane now pinned Show for the victory.

Lilian: "Here are your winners, the IWA Champion John Cena and Kane!"

Kane and Cena may have won and worked together during the match, which has now ended. Now Kane turned on his partner for the night and grabbed him by the throat, hoisted Cena up into the air and delivered the Chokeslam. His sinister laugh echoed in the arena as he was about to activate his in ring pyro only to be nailed by a knockout hook on the back of the head. The Ruthless Giant then applied the Colossal Clutch on Kane until he didn't move anymore. Cena came in, with a steel chair in hand, and clocked Show on the back of his head with the weapon twice and once on the face before lifting him off his feet and perfoming the Attitude Adjustment on him. He rose up his IWA Championship as he stood strong at the center of the ring as the fans cheered him while the show ended With the Chain Gang Commander standing tall, will he survive the road to Blackout?

Good Lord, how long did that take? Two-three months? And this isn't even the pay-per-view. I still have two more BLOCKBUSTERs and one more Xtreme Revelation episode to write before Blackout comes. As you can see in the description box of the story, I am putting this one on hiatus for a while. Why? Well I lost inspiration to write. Not writing in general but writing wrestling. It's been a good 38 chapter run for one guy and I need something else in my life. Don't worry, I am not quitting but just gonna take a break from IWA for some time. In the meantime, I am planning on making another story. Not gonna spoil it for everyone so just be patient until I post it up here. I'm already working on chapter 1 of it. So relax, my account is not going to die. The usual reviews should be nice enough. Thanks.
