Goth: You laughed, you enjoyed every moment of it and most of all…. You claimed that this was ok that it happened to the one I love the most… but that’s ok people, I know that you are too ignorant to even understand what it is that you can try to take something away that is material and what is true love… Something that Eric Corrayo apparently cant figure out either…

The crowd boos Goth as the co-owner allows him to be booed by them

Goth: But you know something? last week it was Corrayo’s moment of fun… it was Corrayo’s moment of having his way with me. Enjoy it Ego Killer, enjoy the moment where you felt safe and secure in your own environment… Because today, I will be the one that is going to be taking things away…. I’m going to take away your pride, your dignity and after tonight…. I just took away your career… so enjoy the last few moments of that what seems to be YOUR END!!!

With that Goth exits the ring and walks to the back as he is followed by the love of his life

Tex Martin: Duff, I have a feeling that Eric Corrayo is a marked man… will it be his final night?

Goth stands on the entrance way as he looks at his woman, they kiss each other for the final time before exiting to the back

Qualifying match Asylum title

Spynn vs. Jason Stevens

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is your opening contest of the evening and is the first of four qualifying matches. The winner moves on to fight for the AWA Asylum Championship at the upcoming pay per view!!!

At ringside the bell is rung, prompting for the opening riff for “Halo” by Machinehead to be heard over the PA. As soon as Rob Flynn starts the opening verse, Jason Stevens emerges from the back with his sister Cary not far behind. The fans boo him but he ignores them and walks down the ramp. Jason slides into the ring as Cary takes up a position at ringside. Jason now waits for his opponent, balling his fists together, knowing that he has a decent opportunity tonight at gaining himself a title shot.

Tex Martin: Jason Stevens with a chance to get into a title match at this month’s pay per view.

Duff Travers:: He’ll blow it…

“Halo” begins to fade out as Stormy introduces Jason to the masses.

Stormy: Introducing first from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 175 pounds…Jasoooon Steveeeeens!!!

There is hardly any emotion shown by the Miami crowd.

Duff Travers:: HA! I bet this crowd would rather be at the beach then watching a match of such terrible caliber!

Tex Martin: Sometimes Duff you shouldn’t speak. I’ll just ignore what you said.

Duff Travers:: You can’t ignore me Tex! I am awesome!

The lights flicker black and red as “Wait and Bleed” by Slipknot hits the PA system. The softer lyrics can be heard in clear detail until a loud "GOODBYE!" is screamed. Out from the back charges Spynn, running full tilt toward the ring. Once he slides under the bottom rope, he hits the turnbuckle, and stands up on it, screaming out at the crowd, and raising his hands slowly, angrily, until they're fully raised. His eyes roll into the back of his head for just a moment as he then hops from the turnbuckle and drops to his knees. Through his hair you can barely see his eyes filled with hatred as he looks around the arena before his gaze stops on his opponent, Jason Stevens. Spynn’s music fades out and the referee immediately calls for the bell to start the first match-up of the evening.

Spynn races right for Jason but Jason uses a bit of smarts and leaps out of the way. Spynn has to pull up to avoid crashing into the turnbuckle. He turns back around just as Stevens is coming off the ropes. Stevens momentum carries him forward but he’s unable to grab Spynn at all, who suddenly dives down and takes Stevens’s legs out from under him. As Jason falls on his keister, Spynn rolls up Jason and has the first attempted fall of the match! Referee Chip Long counts it, even though he’s shocked as well as the crowd!

Referee Long: ONE…TWO…THR-

Jason kicks out just in the nick of time and can be seen with his jaw dropped. He sits up as Spynn rises up now behind him and delivers a Yakuza kick right to the back! Spynn then floats over Stevens and hooks both legs up high for another cover!

Referee Long: ONE…TWO…THR-

Even though Stevens is almost turned inside out he is able to turn over Spynn and yank up on the tights. However the referee sees it and refuses to count the pinfall. Cary can be seen rolling her eyes at ringside as Spynn escapes from Jason Stevens. He seems to stop to think for a split second about what he’ll do next. As he sees Jason Stevens getting to his feet, Spynn refocuses and ducks an attempted forearm smash from Stevens before connecting with a jawbreaker to the AWA veteran.

Tex Martin: I almost thought this match was over a few times there a few moments ago, but both of them are now beginning to settle in, especially Spynn. Finally I’m impressed with him a bit.

Duff Travers:: Yeah, if we would have gotten through the match, it would have been less time for you to talk.

Tex Martin: Touche.

The camera catches that Stevens has a peeved look on his face as he feels at his jaw. He angrily goes to sock Spynn right in the forehead, but Spynn blocks it and really wrenches away at Jason’s arm now. Jason goes to use the other arm to blast Spynn, but Spynn catches that one as well! Spynn jumps up with Stevens and delivers a kneelift right to the gut before releasing Stevens, who plops right to the mat below. Spynn doesn’t take any chances though as he snaps up Jason and delivers an Evenflow DDT with much ferocity. Spynn hooks both of the legs as Referee Long goes down for the count. Cary slaps the mat, hoping to will her brother out of the pinfall attempt.

Referee Long: ONE…TWO…THREE!!!

Stormy: Here is your winner and qualifying for the Asylum Title match at the pay per view…Spynn!!!!!

Spynn tosses Stevens’s legs aside and stands up, victorious as “Wait and Bleed” pumps into the PA system yet again. Cary slides into the ring to check on her brother Jason. Spynn turns around to see this and points at Cary. Referee Long goes to get in between Spynn and Cary, but he’s too late and too slow. Spynn snaps up Cary into his arms and plants her with an Evenflow DDT as well! Cary lands on the mat hard, right next to her brother.

Tex Martin: Oh my GOD! Cary is an innocent bystander. She did not deserve that!

Duff Travers:: Then she should have stayed out of harm’s way. Spynn was just showing that he’s ready to anything necessary to become the next Asylum Champion, that’s all.

Tex Martin: Yay. He makes an impact by attacking a poor defenseless woman. Real nice Duff! I doubt that Goth is happy about this!

Duff Travers:: No matter how we slice it Tex, the Iron Bull, Spynn is moving onward and upward. And like I said, Jason Stevens fails again. We’ll be back with our next match after this…

The shot changes after a last look on Cary and Stevens

Winner: Spynn

Monster's Ball by Twiztid and ICP blare around the arena as the Psychopathic Family comes down to the ring along with Shipman and his old friend Wraith. They stand like one mighty unit in the center of the ring as the music fades. Shipman then walks over and grabs a microphone before heading back to the middle of the ring.

Shipman: Tisk tisk tisk. I must say last week, Crazy J must have made a death wish. I mean what a hypocrit. A man who uses Tech N9ne music for his entrance telling the Psychopathic Family to stay out of the AWA? Then trying to poke fun at Violent J and JCW. But we got some revenge as you saw earlier this week when we demolished his limo and then brought Wraith back. See Crappy J, you are not the only one who can bring back blasts from the past. I mean look at this man, he is 7'3 weighs 465 pounds. He was the most dominant force ever to be witnessed in the UWF and JCW, and if he could he would of been one here in AWA. So J, you also want to make the threat of if I brought the clowns back that you would put me in a handicap match versus you, Goth, and Jaymz. Well guess what, I never backed down from a challenge and I don't plan to start but since you pick the opponents I'm picking the match.

Shipman points up as the Family goes to the outside and starts pulling a ton of weapons out from under the ring. All the weapons are covered in barbed wire. Wraith then begins to remove the ring ropes as ICP replace them with strands of barbed wire. Boondox and Blaze are struggling to pull a ladder out from under the ring but do so. Everyone sees the reason the ladder was so hard to get out is because it is also covered in barbed wire. Soon the ring is full of chairs, tables, bats, 2x4s and the ladder all covered in barbed wire. Wraith and ICP finish replacing the ropes with barbed wire as Shipman still points up. Suddenly a cell made compltly out of barbed wire starts lowering and surrounds the ring. There are hunks of flesh and hair stuck in the barbs as a twisted grin goes over Shipman's face. The Family begin to laugh as they all stare at Shipman who then turns his attention to the entrance ramp

Shipman: Ladies and gentleman, the infamous Shipman's House of Pain. Now many may wonder, how do you survive this diabolical structure? Well it is very simple, you just set up this ladder

Shipman grabs the ladder and sets it up. His hands begin to bleed from the barbed wire

Shipman: And you climb the ladder.

Shipman begins to climb the ladder destroying his hands but he seems to be unfazed by the blood that is dripping from his body. The Family just looks on in disbelief that Shipman is actually doing this as thier laughing stopped.

And you would grab whatever is attached to the ceiling. I think in our case it will be an AWA t-shirt and a JCW t-shirt. Winner is whoever get's thier company's shirt.

Shipman jumps down from the ladder. His hands look like they just went through a cheese grater. Blood pools on the mat as he stares down the entrance ramp again.

Shipman: So J, what do you say?

The arena lights flicker as Crazy J steps out with a microphone in his hand and a smile on his face. In his other hand is a folder and he smiles but no music ever plays.

Crazy J: Shipman, before you cut your self up and make your self swell up like Violent J neck, let me explain to you some things. You see I grew up in the Detroit market and I knew who ICP was before you ever even heard of horror core music. I was hit up at school by two clowns in dreads with sample cds. That shit was cool we was all out chicken hunting and all that but then I grew up. (the fans laugh) You see those jokers you hang with created one of the best gimics of all time the Dark Carnival and told the Juggalos that after the 6 cards the Dark Carnival would rise up and take over the earth. Hmm, but then it changed it would rain diamonds first and then it would happen. Well mother *beep* I am still waiting for the diamonds. You see Shipman I know your boys well, the wagons never came and the gimic should have ended but that fat son of a bitch needs money to eat with, its not my fault his lap band broke and he gained back all that weight… but you see shipman he doesn’t look like a clown any more his face alone looks like a killer whale at the water park. So stick a fish in his mouth and get him the *beep* Out of my building. You see Joe Bruce I have a restraining order against you just because I don’t like you, if you come with in 100 yards of the arena you will be arrested. (the fans boo a little)

Violent J kicks a empty soda pop cup that is laying ring side and he looks pissed as 10 officers come out with a copy of the paper and they have Violent J walk with them out of the arena.

Crazy J: Shipman, in regards to my music that I use at times. Teck N9ne could give a shit less about ICP he does the same thing, Kottonmouth Kings and even Twiztid does. They have their own fan base and for extra cd sales and ticket purchases they use words like Family and Juggalo and you all come running to kiss their ass. You see Jamie and Paul that are standing with you, they tried to leave to Psychopathic but a dumb ass stole the money and they had to come back.

Crazy J: Now back to this dumb ass match, this shit isn’t going to happen but instead I am going to teach you a lesson about trying to be cute, next week if you don’t win your match, I get to come down and best the shit out of you for 5 minutes and if you win you save your self for another week. Now clean up my ring and get your ass out of here and tell Jamie and Paul to swing by my office and tell them their friends Potluck sent me some good Humbolt shit. Latter bitch!

Crazy J walks to the back as AWA crews come down and start fixing the ring back up. Shipman looks pissed but they head to the back

The lights go out inside the arena in Miami as we hear an evil laugh through the speakers as the intro to “Disposable Teens” by Marilyn Manson begins to play. After the intro plays, a pyro display erupts on the ramp as we see Doug Crashin and Devil's Advocate emerge from the smoke. Crashin and DA then walk towards the ring while Doug struts cockily. When they get to ringside Doug stays out while DA goes over the top rope. DA then raises his arms up then as he slams his arms down pyro shoots from all four turnbuckles and the lights turn back on.

Qualifying match for the Asylum Title

Devil’s Advocate vs. Nailz

Stormy: The following contest is the second of four Asylum Title match qualifiers. Introducing first, from the pits of hell, weighing in at 400 pounds…Devil’s Advocaaaate!!!

Tex Martin: Devil’s Advocate has been trying to make an impact by getting himself a win from the moment that he returned. Tonight could possibly be the night. All he’ll have to do is get around the first ever AWA World Champion, Nailz.

Duff Travers:: He won’t do it, but that’s not the story here. Nailz and his brother Taxx can definitely NOT be happy about Crazy J basically ending the Grave Yard Crew in one fell swoop. They’ve both been just hiding it so far. However if Nailz wins tonight, he’ll have a chance at winning Crazy J’s precious Asylum Title at the pay per view!

Tex Martin: Yes, that is true. We already know that Spynn will be one of the four men in whatever barbaric match that Crazy J will undoubtedly come up with. One of these two will join him.

The arena turns red with flames dancing around the sides of the stage as “Inside The Fire” by Disturbed feeds itself into the PA system. The In-Ring Assassin, Nailz, rises out of a smoky mist from the middle as if rising from the depths of hell with Azael at his side. A flame trail follows down the entranceway until Nailz heads to the ring. When he gets in the ring he stands in the middle facing the camera as a huge flame wall erupts to the huge cheers of the crowd. Azael cheers on her man from the ringside area, all the while keeping her eyes on Doug Crashin who is on the opposite side of the ring. The music begins to fade out and Stormy’s sweet voice takes over once again.

Stormy: And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 250 pounds…Naaaaaaiiiiiillllllz!!!

Nailz removes his hat and sets it out on the ring apron. The ring bell goes off and Nailz holds up his fists. Devil’s Advocate does the same. The two circle one another.

Tex Martin: These two haven’t faced off in ages and they now get this chance in 2008 right here tonight in Miami.

Duff Travers:: I’m so excited.

Tex Martin: Yeah. The sarcasm is just dripping off of you.

DA is about to go on for a strike but Nailz jukes out of the way and steps back, taunting DA to follow him. It works. As Nailz brings DA into a corner, he whips him around at the right time and corners him right in the corner on his side of the ring. The lovely Azael stands outside but suddenly bends over and seemingly goes underneath the ring. The crowd cheers because they can see her butt, but she comes back out just as quickly as she went under…now bearing a shovel!

Duff Travers:: Hey, isn’t that the GraveMaster 9000?

Tex Martin: Yes, but what’s it doing out here? It wouldn’t be like Nailz to actually use it!

Duff Travers:: Um…he’s a Grave Digga. I wouldn’t be surprised…

DA has yet to see the shovel. Nailz is still pounding away on him but then suddenly pulls him out and whips him across the ring. DA goes hard up against the turnbuckle but fights through the pain. He comes flying back at Nailz and actually hits a clothesline, knocking Nailz for a loop. Azael slaps her forehead and decides to interject the shovel. She leaves it on the ring apron and moves away from it. Referee Richard Head assigned to the contest looks down at Azael with a questioning look, but Azael puts on the most innocent of faces possible.

Duff Travers:: She’s acting all innocent and schoolgirl-like. Wow.

Tex Martin: …

Referee Head is definitely distracted. Behind him DA has Nailz back to his feet and has shoved him back now to a set of ropes. He ties him into the ropes before delivering landing his hand on the throat of Nailz. He unties him from the ropes and lifts all 250 pounds of Nailz high up into the air. DA uncorks a decent looking chokeslam. Nailz lands up flat on his back and for now Referee Head turns around to see DA pinning Nailz, with Crashin cheering him on from ringside.

Referee Head: ONE…

Nailz rolls the shoulder and Azael applauds her man for not getting pinned. Nailz and DA both stand up and Nailz happens to be facing his lady. She points over to where the shovel is, but this is a distraction that works against Nailz, because by the time he turns back around to face Devil’s Advocate, DA is able to grab a hold of him, set him up and bring Nailz crashing back down to the canvas with a vertical suplex stunner. DA goes for the pin.

Referee Head: ONE…TWO…

Nailz kicks out and immediately sits up. DA is not intimidated though and for the first time since it was placed on the ring apron, DA spots the shovel. He goes to it and goes to pick him up, but this starts a tug-of-war as Azael comes over, attempting to rip it out of Devil’s Advocate’s grasp. Doug Crashin comes over to where the two are, in an attempt to help DA, but Nailz is now standing up and is behind DA inside the ring! Referee Head notices that the shovel at least hasn’t been used yet so he allows the antics to continue. Nailz sneaks up behind DA and then rolls him up into a small package!!!

Tex Martin: This might be it right here!

Referee Head: ONE…TWO…

Tex Martin: NO! Devil’s Advocate just kicked out! But…

Duff Travers:: …he’s about to be in BIG trouble for it! Nailz is going to apply the triangle choke!!! Oh the humanity!

Nailz works fast and rather quickly has it completely cinched in. Doug Crashin rolls into the ring and is about to stomp Nailz, but Referee Head holds him back from doing so. While this is going on Azael slides the shovel back into the ring. DA already seems out of it thanks to the triangle choke. Crashin continues to bicker with and get around the referee to help out DA. Finally he gets around him but Referee Head sees that DA’s eyes are really glazed over. Referee Head calls for the bell a split second before Crashin begins to work over Nailz with several kicks to the back.

Stormy: Here is your winner of the match, Nailz!!!

Azael is now completely in the ring and scoops up the shovel. Crashin doesn’t even sense her presence and pays for it as Azael whacks Crashin upside the noggin with the GraveMaster 9000!

Duff Travers:: My GOD! Crashin just got BURIED, by Mrs. Nailz!!!

Tex Martin: …that’s going on the highlight reel.

Duff Travers:: Yes and Nailz is moving on to the pay per view to battle for the Asylum Title. Tex Martin: There are two more spots to be decided here tonight. And besides that we’ll see the AWA World Champion in action. Still all to come here tonight in Miami!

Nailz is back on his feet now and Azael holds one of his hands high up into the air, with a huge smile on her face. The pair then exit the ring after seeing the carnage on the mat and shrugging their shoulders. They make their way to the back via the entranceway and disappear behind the curtains. The moment they go, Devil’s Advocate and Doug Crashin are shown, just beginning to come to…

Winner: Nailz

The scene switches to the locker room of Lionheart. He is sat tapping up his wrists with white ring tape. Once finished he brushes back his hair and places a hair band holding it back. He then looks in the mirror and smiles posing before being interrupted by Paige Harris and Lionheart jumps out of his skin.

She smiles and holds back a laugh at Lionheart’s reaction and approaches him, mic in hand, ready to conduct a quick fire interview.

Lionheart: Knock next time, knock!

Paige Harris: I will, I forgot what you do before matches.

Lionheart: I could be doing anything from sniffing air out of a can to watching some soft core porn.

Paige Harris: Soft core porn?

She said with a look of confusion crossing her face. Lionheart simply smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Lionheart: Some people class wrestling as soft core porn. As well, we are half naked and wrestling with each other. Anyway I assume you didn’t come here to discuss that. Unless you want to know what spank the monkey means?

Paige Harris: No, I’m fine. So you looking forward to your match?

Lionheart: Of course I am, it’s great to be back and I can’t wait to get in that ring and beat that Shipman bloke into next week.

Paige Harris: You been involved with anything backstage recently? Stable offers? Altercations? Anything at all?

Lionheart: Nope, I have kept myself to myself, prepared for my match, and been making sure I have my mind right for my match. So I’ve kept out of the way, no need in getting involved in anything whatsoever. And as for stable offers, been there and done that, and turned on my partners. So why would anyone trust me? Eh?

Paige Harris: Any final words for Chris Shipman then?

Lionheart: Of course I have some final words. But once again I find myself arguing with a brick wall, or, as I put it earlier, arguing with a woman over fashion. You never damn well agree! But I digress. Chris, once again when you come out to give us your final words, you managed to show that I have gotten into your head and I am winning the mind games battle. You see, Chris, your words said it all, “doesn’t mean I cannot win” after admitting I am clever than you, better technically than you, and better looking than you. You see, Chris, I have spent all week being confident in my abilities and talking a lot more than yourself. But ask yourself my friend, why. Ask yourself right now, why. And you will soon find out that I am confident in my abilities because I have proven myself time and time again. You will find out that the reason I have spoken so much is to put your arguments to bed, they are assumptions, pure and simple. When I made the statement that I was going to burry you, I backed it up. When I made the statement that I was going to teach you a lesson, I backed it up. You never did, you simply said I’m a psycho; I’m the most violent hardcore wrestler ever. And that was it Chris, no reason whatsoever, but ask yourself, is that a good enough reason?

Lionheart shakes his head.

Lionheart: Chris it isn’t a reason. You simply assume that being a psycho means you will win. I backed up my claims with facts. You even went as far as admitting what I said was true, that I am better technically and that I have the better mind when it comes to these games. You have proved that Chris in what you have said. You have revealed a lot about yourself this week in your words Chris, and, my friend, that is why I am confident that I will beat you tonight. I have got in your head Shipman, I have broken you, got you thinking about what I am better than you at, I have got you thinking and that is what I wanted. You may try to unleash the beast inside of me, but I have already unleashed yours and it will bring about your downfall. So Chris, go on, try me, and prove me wrong. Prove that everything I have said and done this week, is me, merely making assumptions and making farfetched claims. But when all is said and done, I will be one step closer to wrapping that belt around my waist. So good luck, and don’t you wish you were me?

He smiled smugly at the camera, posing for it showing off his superior physique and persona before his smirk turned into a glare. Paige turned to him.

Paige Harris: Thanks for your time.

Lionheart smirked, tapped her shoulder, and exited his locker room as the scene turns back to the action in the ring.

Qualifying Match Asylum Title

Staniak vs. Aiden Payne

Stormy: And now coming to the ring at this time he hails from the country of England he is Staniak.

Hold Back The Day by Devildriver hits over the PA system and the crowd know exactly whats coming up now, thats right the man they all hate, "The Red Ripper" Staniak makes his way out from the back, he looks around the arena with an evil look on his face, a smirk towards the cameras later and he makes his way down the ramp, once at the bottom of the ramp he walks around the ring bad mouthing the fans, he then slides in to the ring and jumps on top of the turnbuckle and taunts, he then jumps down, runs to another corner and does the same thing, he jumps down from that turnbuckle and gets ready for his match!

Stormy: And his opponent, from the Golden State of California he is Aiden Payne

Sinner by Drowning Pool hits on the PA as red strobe lights flicker on and off. Aiden Payne comes running out from the back, full speed, and immediately stops at the top of the ramp. With a sadistic look on his face, he looks around at the crowd, then throws his devil horns in the air, as fire erupts around him. He then sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring under the bottom rope. He quickly gets to his feet, and taunts the crowd by jumping on the far right turnbuckle, bouncing up and down, with one hand in the air showing devil horns, and his tongue out. He hops off of the ropes and heads to the other corner, sitting in the corner as his music fades

Tex: I was talking with Crazy J back stage during the brake and he said for the first time in his life he was rooting for Staniak in a match.

Duff: I wonder why that is?

Tex: That’s because he is pissed off at Shipman from last week, and with them being friends and a tag team is all I can come up with.

The two move into the ring and they lock up and Staniak tosses Payne into the corner and Aiden comes out of the corner and moves towards Staniak. Staniak sends him back with a double kick to the chest. Aiden is against the ropes when Staniak hit him with a few more good kicks.

Crazy J walks towards the ring dressed in black baggy pants and a black AWA shirt and the Asylum title is on his waste he stops and looks on from ringside. Aiden pushes Staniak off when Crazy J pulls the ref out and knocks him out with a Psycho 187 driver. Crazy J rolls in the ring and looks at Aiden and he removes his title and nails Aiden in the face with the belt and then tosses him in the corner and gives him the Neck Cutter. Staniak doesn’t look very happy and he voices that and Crazy J sprays him in the face with something and Staniak grabs his eyes and Crazy J drops him with the Psycho 187 driver. Crazy J then puts Aiden on his back and Puts Staniak on top of him and Crazy J drops down and starts counting…1…2…3

Crazy J takes the title belt and heads to the back as the fans boo. Crazy J just smiles as he reaches the back.

Stormy: Winner the match via pin fall is Staniak.

Tex: Wow J didn’t take long to take care of this match and what is up with him wearing the belt like he is the champion?

Duff: I have no idea, but then again that’s why we call him crazy.

Staniak looks on as he watches Crazy J walk to the back with the Asylum Championship belt

Winner: Staniak

Somewhere backstage, Page Harris is talking with Foxxxy Dreams when Metamania, who is in hs wrestling gear and is holding his half of the tag-team titles over his right shoulder, walks into the picture, passing by the ladies. Page excuses herself from the conversation and runs after him, calling after him.

Page: Metamania! Wait!

Metamania turns around and waits for Page to catch up to him. She brings out a microphone within her pockets and holds it over her lips.

Page: I just have one question for you. How do you feel about the match this week with Eric Black?

Metamania: You know, I was expecting the champion to show up this week. I figured that he would do his best to kick my butt. But that didn't happen! Maybe the guy didn't hear that I was going to fight him all week long. Maybe he had travel issues or maybe his phone line was tapped by the government and he couldn't use the phone all that much! Whatever the case may be, I hear that he's now at the arena tonight. Kinda weird for him to show up and not say anything all along, really! Was this all part of a masterplan that he conspired with Goth and Crazy J? I hope not, because if the owners get involved in this match, I will kick their ass and send them straight back to hell. No one should be involved in my business, unless they have to be, and when they do, I'll remedy the situation very fast, if you know what I mean! That said, I'm here spoiling for a fight and I'm gonna show this Eric Black kid why I am considered one of the best wrestlers on Earth. Why is he holding the championship belt anyway? The way I see it, it should be ME that is holding the top championship title! Not that I'm a hog or anything, but I decided, long ago, that I'm the only one important to look after! Now don't get me wrong - being a tag-team champion with my friend, John Irons, who is one hell of an excellent ex-Marine and an excellent fighter, I might add, is awesome. But I have important goals and dreams to go after and since this match is a non-title match, it's a little bit disappointing. But no worries - it is not going to take me long before I am granted a world title match with this punk again and trust me, after it is said and done, I will kick his ass today and I will definitely be kicking his ass when the World title is on the line! I just hope that he doesn't disappoint me tonight. If he does, then we got a huge problem!

Metamania, shaking his head back and forth, walks away from Page and continues on to his original destination, while Page looks after him silently. The scene fades into a commercial for the next AWA PPV.

Qualifying match Asylum Title

Lionheart vs. Chris Shipman

"Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde plays out through the Epic-system and Lionheart walks out onto the entrance ramp wearing his ring gear. He smirks and runs along one side of the ramp shouting out at the crowd before going to the other side and shouting at that side. He then starts down the ramp stopping halfway to pose once again, in which white pyro blasts off from the top of the ramp. Lionheart then walks down the ramp and heads over to the steel ring steps in which he walks up and gets into the ring. Lionheart follows up by going to each corner in turn to pose for the crowd and throws a few punches in the air, warming himself up while waiting for the start of the match.

Stormy Canyon: The following match is a qualifying match for the Asylum Title Tournament. Introducing first, weighing in at 224 pounds…Lionheart.

Duff Travers:: Simba is back! It’s been a while, but Lionheart has returned to the AWA.

Tex Martin: Welcome back, now go into a tournament of torture.

Seven by Boondox blares over the speakers as the lights go out. Suddenly an eruption of pyro over the ramp creates a blast of light to see Shipman with a shopping cart filled with weapons. Shipman rolls the cart down the ramp. Before he can get into the ring Lionheart leaps over the top rope and hits Shipman. Lionheart stays on top of Shipman and starts to pound Shipman in the head with heavy right hands. Lionheart picks Shipman up by his hair. Lionheart whips Shipman spine first into the steel steps. Lionheart runs at Shipman, Shipman moves out of the way an Lionheart rams his legs into the steps, flipping over.

Duff Travers:: Lionheart might be a little too eager in his first match back

Tex Martin: Simba almost might have just destroyed both knees.

Shipman starts slamming Lionheart’s skull into the steps. Shipman walks over to the cart, he throws a bunch of odd weapons out before he pulls out his barbedwire covered noose. Shipman slips the noose around Lionheart’s neck and pulls it tight. Lionheart starts to flail trying to get his fingers inbetween the noose in his neck. Blood starts flowing down from the barbewire cutting into his neck. Shipman begins to drag Lionheat around the outside of the ring. Lionheart is trying to fight, kick, and grab the ring apron, but Shipman is dragging him too fast. Shipman runs around a corner and Lionheart grabs the ring post. Lionheart pulls and shipman stops. They start to go back and forth pulling the noose and finally Lionheart pulls Shipman back and into the ring post. Lionheart pulls the noose off and begins to gasp for hair, blood is running down his chest.

Duff Travers:: Thank god he got that noose off. Who knows how that could’ve ended

Tex Martin: Could’ve been the shortest come back in AWA history.

Lionheart takes the noose and starts whipping Shipman’s back. Shipman howls in pain as small gashes start to open up in his back. Lionheart turns Shipman around and starts punching him with the noose wrapped around his hand. After a few punches Lionheart opens a gash in the middle of Shipman’s forehead. Lionheart picks the bloodied Shipman to his feet and rolls him into the ring. He goes back to the cart of weapons and digs through it. Lionheart takes out a few metal cooking sheets and throws them into the ring.

Duff Travers:: We knew this would be a blood bath, but its still hard to watch.

Tex Martin: You gotta love matches like this, that have no wrestling at all in them.

Lionheart puts one of the metal sheets lodged between the middle and top turnbuckles. Shipman slowly makes it back to his feet. Lionheart turns around and Shipman hits him with a hard right. They both begin to trade blows back and forth, the blood flies off both their bodies. Shipman gets a hard shot to Lionheart’s gut, he falls to his knees. Shipman laughs at grabs Lionheart by the hair. He rears back for a huge knock out punch. Lionheart quickly uppercuts Shipman with a low blow. Shipman keels over in pain and Lionheart jumps to his feet. He throws Shipman skull first into the metal pan in the corner. Shipman stumbles back dazed, he turns around and Lionheart hits him in the skull with a second pan, Shipman crumbles to the ground. Lionheart picks Shipman back to his knees, he is out. Lionheart steps back and hits the Sunshine superkick. Shipman falls to the ground, deadweight. Lionheart falls to, exhausted and crawls on top of Shipman. The referee counts 1…2…3!

Duff Travers:: Oh my god he’s done it. He’s come back and in this insane match has come out with the victory.

Tex Martin: Nothing welcomes you back like loosing half the blood in your body.

Stormy Canyon: Here is your winner and moving on in the Asylum Title Tournament…..LIONHEART!

Lionheart slides out of the ring and raises his hands in the air as he is content with his return in the AWA with a win over Shipman

Winner: Lionheart

The scene shifts backstage to Bill Barnhart's dressing room. Much to our surprise we see Co-Owner Goth walking down the hallway toward Bill's dressing room. He stops at the door and knocks, then pushes the door open. Bill is initially startled at who would barge into his dressing room until he realizes who it is.

BULLDOG BILL: What the hell? Who do you think you are to barge in my...Oh, sorry Boss! I didn't realize it was you! You are always welcome to barge into my dressing room.

GOTH: Where is that pathetic mutt of yours? I don't want her pissing on my newly shined shoes.

BULLDOG BILL: She's over there on the couch taking a nap. She won't bother you again. So, Boss Man, for what do I deserve this personal visit from you in my dressing room?

GOTH: My visit to you is very simple Bill. You know I don't like Eric Corrayo...no, I hate Eric Corrayo and all he stands for...so what I want from you is to successfully defend your Number One Contendership for the World Title against him tonight. I want you to not only defeat him and end his wrestling career, but I also want you to hurt him in the cage in the process. Are you up to that task?

BULLDOG BILL: Hey, you know the AC/DC song, DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP right? I got your dirty deeds already done Boss! Corrayo will not return to action in the wrestling ring for some time after I get done with him tonight. Look, I worked damn hard to get my second shot at the World Title and I am not about to hand that over to Corrayo. Even though it means facing a Stable Mate it means more to me to keep that Number One Contendership than it does anything else. I got you covered Boss Man!

GOTH: Good! That's what I wanted to hear. I am going back to my office to watch the rest of the Insomnia Card. I will be watching your match closely Bill. They may even be a bit of a bonus check coming your way depending on how much damage you can inflict upon Eric Corrayo.

Goth turns and walks out of Bill's dressing room, closing the door behind him as he exits. Bill turns and plops down on the couch next to Iris, causing her to wake up from her snooze.

BULLDOG BILL: Boy, Iris, if I can earn enough bonus checks tonight I can finally get you that pink diamond-studded dog collar you always wanted!

Bill leans over and kisses Iris on the head. Iris returns the kiss to Bill's cheeck. The scene shifts back to Tex and Duff at ringside as they get ready to call the next match.

Non title match

Metamania vs. Erik Black

Tex: Lets get this next one going, it should be a great contest and an awesome semi main event

Stormy: The next match is scheduled and is a none title match, first making his way down to the ring standing at 5'7 and weighing in at 170 pounds, he is from New York City... he is, METAMANIA!!!

As Disturbed's Indestructible begins to blare off the spekers, Metamania appears from the curtain and starts to walk down the ramp as the fans take pictures and cheer for him. He slaps hands with the fans as he makes his way to the end of the ramp. He then quickly rolls into the ring, does a kip-up, then walks towards the referee and Stormy Canyon, shaking their hands. Then he steps onto the cetner of the ring, looks at the camera, and pumps his left fist into the air. Pyro from all four corners blasts off four times. Then he lowers his fist, hands over his tag-team title to the referee, then gets to his corner and awaits his opponent.

Stormy: And his opponent, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 225 pounds from Los Angeles the AWA World Heavyweight Champion... ERIK BLACK!!!

The lights begin to flicker and Sounds of Madness hits on the PA. When the music gets heavy, huge golden pyro explodes from the stage. Out walks Erik Black. He has a cocky smirk across hs face. He stops and eyes the ring. He then darts to the ring and without losing a touch of speed he slides under the bottom turnbuckle. He then runs to the furthest turnbuckle and jumps to the top. He then awaits the start of the match with his title on his shoulder.

Duff: Here we go, its starting.

With Metamania and Black in the ring the contest quickly gets started. Both men walk to the center of the ring and tie up clean, the stronger Champion Erik Black grabs the back of Metamanias mask and pulls back hard forcing Metamania down to the mat hard. Meta quickly gets back up to his feet and shakes out the cobwebs. Meta and Black tie up again and Black does the same thing forcing Mete to the canvas. Meta lands on his rear end and shakes his head and black laughes and climbs the turnbuckle hands raised high. The fans boo Black's cockyness as he taunts them.

Duff: This is exactly why Erik is the man here in the Asylum.

Tex: Well I can't agree with you there Duff, if he takes his eyes of Metamania he might just get beat faster than you can count to three... thats if you can even count.

Erik climbs of the turnbuckle and smiles at Metamania, he asks him if he wants to tie up again and Meta agrees. They walk to the center of the ring and as Black is about to tie up with Meta, Meta grabs his arm and places him in a top wrist lock, Meta quickly wenches the hold and begins smashing Blacks elbow off his shoulder. Meta then sweeps Blacks legs out from under him sending Black falling onto his rear end, the angery Black quickly gets up but is met with a quick dropkick which sends him onto his rear end again. This time Black gets up quicker and he charges Meta who ducks down and uses Blacks momentum against him as he hits Erik with a Ricky Steamboat style armdrag.

Tex: It looks like Metamanias speed is going to be a major factor in this contest and I don't think Black is very happy about it.

Duff: Well speed is nothing, Black is going to squash this little midget like a bug.

Tex: Whatever you say.

Erik again charges Metamania and this time throws a clothesline which misses when Meta ducks, Meta then hooks the same arm Erik threw and pulls Erik down with a backslide, the referee gets into place but Meta is only lucky enough to score a two count. Black quickly gets up and although not as quick as Metamania his rage fuels him as he decks Meta with a huge superkick. Everyone thinks its over as Erik smiles and covers Metamania with one foot, the referee slides indo place.

Meta kicks out and Erik is furious, he begins stomping Metamania relentlessly.

Tex: I think Erik should have given Meta some more credit with that pin attempt.

Duff: You know what Tex, Erik is playing with Meta... we all know Meta is a fluke and the only reason he has a Championship on his shoulder is because Irons carried his midget butt.

Tex: Will you stomp calling him a midget please, he is not a midget.

Duff: I hear that he went to the store after his match at the PPV and bought himself a new vehicle. I guess he drives a brand new hotwheels now.

Tex: You never quit do you!.

After stomping on Meta for a few moments Erik picks up Meta and hits him with two belly to back suplexs. He then picks him up and hooks him into a front facelock, he raises him up into a suplex. Erik then stalls in mid move and walks around the ring for a few moments before slaming Meta down to the canvas. Black covers Meta but Meta kicks out at just one. Black freaks out and begins shoving the referee and yelling at him about his counting speed.

Tex: I would not take my eyes of Metamania Black.

Duff: Shut up Tex, he does not need you to coach him... CRAP, look behind you Erik!

Out of the blue Metamania runs in between Erik's legs and catches him in a school boy pin. He holds on tight and uses all his body weight to hold Black down. The referee quickly counts.

Erik kicks out just in time and rolls out of the ring, he yells at the referee to hold Metamania back. Meta does not listen to the referee he jumps right over to the top rope to the outside and takes out black with a cross body. Both men are slower to get up but its Erik that takes advantage whiping Meta into the stairs. Black looks over to the time keeper and he tosses him off his chair, he steals the chair and walks tward Metamania whom is laying against the steel steps. The referee tries to stop Erik but Erik shoves him back, the referee threatens to disqualify Erik Black but he still does not listen, he swings the chair but when he connects all that is heard is the sound of steel crashing together as Meta moves just in time. Erik tosses down the chair as Meta slides into the ring, Erik looks at his hands which must be in serious pain after hiting the chair on the steps. Erik kicks the steps then grabs the chair and slides into the ring with it. He swings at Meta but misses hiting the top rope, the chair bounces back cracking Erik in the skull almost knocking him out, Mete quickly ascends the top rope and flys off landing on Blacks shoulders, black falls back and gets rolled over with a victory roll with Meta ontop of him, Meta hooks both legs with all his might as the referee counts.

Duff: What, What, What!!!

Tex: Metamania Wins!!!

The Crowd explodes in cheers as Metamania quickly exits the ring hands raised. Meta smiles wide and continues up the ramp as Disturbed's Indestructible plays. The camera goes back to the ring to see Black on his knees watching Metamania exit the arena as he yells at him and we fade to the break.

Winner: Metamania

Backstage we can see Goth and Bill Barnhart talk to each other, Goth whispers something in his ear and Bill nods his head in approval. Goth walks out as he sees the camera and puts his hand on it as we go back to ringside

#1 contendership vs. Career Cage Match

Bill Barnhart vs. Eric Corrayo

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is contested inside the confines of the Steel Cage!!! And it will be a do or die match for Eric Corrayo as he is putting his career on the line against Bill Barnhart who puts his number one contender spot on the line!!!!

The fans cheer out loud for the announcement from Stormy Canyon as they are lifting signs up in the air.

Tex Martin: I never expected this to happen, but Eric Corrayo MUST win to keep his career alive!!

Duff Travers: Yeah? Well Bill Barnhart is going to teach that guy a lesson for kidnapping an innocent young lady!!

Stormy Canyon: About to enter the arena, he stands in at 6’4 and weighing in at 245 pounds!! Hailing from Hollywood, California!!!! The Ego Killer!! Eric Corrayo!!

The lights go out as the opening guitar rift begins for "Knee Deep" by CKY. Then all of a sudden red pyro goes off filling the stage. The lights shoot back on and "The Ego Killer" Eric Corrayo is standing at the top of the ramp with his smug smile. The fans begin to boo, but he doesn't care as he struts to the ring. He walks to the ring jawing back and forth with the fans. He walks up the steps and makes his way into the cage where he opens the door and gets inside. There he stands as he is awaits the arrival of his opponent.

Stormy Canyon: And now the man that is about to introduce to you the opponent for Eric Corrayo!! Please Welcome the Co-Owner of the AWA!! Goth!!

Tex Martin: Whoa!! This is going to get ugly!!

Goth enters the arena, he stares at the crowd who is booing him. He points towards the cage and stares at the man that is screaming at him.

Goth: There wont be no place to run, no place to hide Corrayo. You see tonight, you are the one that is standing there without anything in your hands to keep Bill Barnhart away from you. Tonight the Bulldog is going to sink its teeth into YOUR flesh.

The Crowd boos Goth who grins and shakes his head in disbelief.

Goth: Without further ado, let me introduce to you. The greatest Asylum Champion EVER!! In the history of this great company. The man that will take down Eric Corrayo and send him packing… Let me introduce to you…. Bill Barnhart!!

Ave Satani hits as Bill walks out to the ring wearing the Kings Templar shirt. He walks to the door as suddenly we see Corrayo slam it shut in front of the face of the Bulldog and mocks him to get in by climbing the cage.

Duff Travers: We all know how good the Bulldog can climb!! He’ll be in there in no time!!!

Barnhart finally climbs the cage as Corrayo starts to do the same. Both men reach the top of the cage at the same time and they are starting to get into a fist fight as both men want to get the upper hand quickly in the match. Bill blocks a right and then slams the head of Corrayo hard against the steel of the cage, this causes him to fall backwards in the ring and rolling around in pain. Bill Barnhart slowly climbs inside the cage as the bell has officially rang and the match has gone underway. We can see Goth walk over to the ringside area as he is looking on at what is happening inside the ring where we can see Bill sitting on top of Corrayo and blasting away with rights and lefts.

Tex Martin: At this moment it is Bill having the upper hand!!

Duff Travers: Thank you Captain Obvious

Bill gets up and grabs the bold head of Corrayo and locks him in a Bulldog Headlock position where he runs a few steps in the ring and then goes for the Bulldog. But it is Corrayo that pushes him against the cage walls and then grabs Barnhart from behind as he staggers backwards in the waiting arms of the former Asylum Champion. There it is Corrayo that executes a Back to Back suplex and that sends the big man down to the canvas, Corrayo gets up and stares into the eyes of the Co-Owner of the AWA who looks back at him with a cold look on his face. Corrayo taunts the owner to get in the ring and save his man, but it is Goth that does not move or show any emotion as he just looks at him. Corrayo turns around and takes his focus back to the man that is fighting for his number one contender spot, Corrayo grabs Barnhart and goes for a slam, but Barnhart manages to shift all of his weight to make sure that Corrayo loses all balance and he lands behind him and then grabs him by the arms and jumps up as he places his knees in the back of Corrayo. This causes Barnhart to fall backwards and sending a high impact blow to the lower back of Corrayo and his legs muscles as he lands awkwardly.

Tex Martin: That got to hurt!! I hope he can still move!!!

Bill gets up and looks at his boss who nods in approval as Bill continues the onslaught on the lower back of the former Asylum Champion. Barnhart grabs both legs and crosses them before stepping over and forcing Corrayo on his stomach as he is being locked in a very painful Texas Cloverleaf submission hold. The referee checks in on Corrayo if he wants to give in to the excruciating pain that is being put on him by the man from the Kings Templar who looks on to the face of his boss. Both men look into each others eyes and they nod without even having to say a word. Corrayo is trying to bridge out of the move as he is putting his hands on the canvas and pushes his upper body upwards. Trying to find some leverage to find some strength to free himself out of the submission hold that is being slapped on him. But it is Barnhart that suddenly lets go and then jumps up and lands hard on the lower back, causing Corrayo to hit hard on the canvas and more damage being done on his lower back. Bill grabs him by the arm and lifts him up, he goes for an Irish Whip into the cage wall. But instead of letting go, he holds on to his arm and pulls him back to him and Bill goes for a Belly to Belly suplex. Just as he is about to execute the move it is Corrayo that in some sort of reaction grabs the head of Bill Barnhart and executes a big time headbutt. That causes Bill to let go off the hold after a few more headbutts and then Corrayo kicks Barnhart in the midsection and goes for a big time DDT in the middle of the ring.

Tex Martin: Good counter!!!

Duff Travers: Unfair!!!

Corrayo slowly starts to move, he has a painful look on his face as he holds on to his lower back as he is clearly in pain. He gets up to his feet and then goes starts to kick away at his opponent, he drops a leg across the back of Bill’s head and then looks at the cage wall and then walks over to it and starts to climb over the cage wall. We can see Goth looking on to the man that is fighting for his career to get a title shot at the World Title, but just as he is halfway up the cage it is Bill Barnhart that has gotten to his feet and has grabbed the legs of his opponent. He grabs him by the waist and then kicks the cage wall, this causes Corrayo to lose balance and drops backwards as Bill Barnhart just falls with him and executes a big time Back Suplex off the cage wall that gets the cheers and boos from the fans. Bill grabs Corrayo by the face and lifts him up to his feet and slams him hard against the cage walls, he grabs him by the back of his head and drives it into the cage wall once more as this causes Corrayo to be busted wide open. Bill grabs him by the head and locks him in a standing headlock while the blood pours over the arm. Bill continues to put pressure on his opponent until Corrayo grabs his head with both hands and then drops himself and executes a jaw breaker that sends Bill Barnhart falling backwards. Corrayo slowly gets to his feet and grabs the head of Bill Barnhart who is now bleeding from the mouth, he whips him into the cage and then executes a Dropkick that sends Bill face first into the cage again.

Duff Travers: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Corrayo gets up and runs to the other side of the cage before running towards Bill Barnhart and executes a cross body block against the back of the first ever AWA tag team champion. Corrayo gets up and grabs Barnhart from behind and executes an inverted neck breaker and then points to the door of the cage.

Tex Martin: Go for it!!!

Corrayo orders the referee to open the door and he is about to get out of the cage and win the match when suddenly we see the door swing against this head. We suddenly see Owen Idol opening the door again after slamming it in the face of the former Asylum Champion and gets inside the cage.

Duff Travers: Finally a man that knows how to maintain order unlike that referee!!!

Tex Martin: Order? With Erik Black getting in the ring too huh?

Owen turns around and nods his head to Erik Black who gets in the face of the referee and distracts him while Owen suddenly grabs a tazer out of his pants and hits Corrayo with it. He falls down on the canvas and is out cold, Owen turns around and gets in the face of the referee as this time it is Black that puts Barnharts arm over the seemingly unconscious Bill Barnhart. The two leave the cage as the referee goes down for the three count, just as he is about to hit his hand on the canvas for the first time that we see Corrayos arm on top of Bill Barnhart as well. The referee slaps his hand on the canvas for the count of three and then calls for the bell.

Tex Martin: This cant be right, this is just wrong!!!

The referee whispers something in the ear of Stormy Canyon as she starts to announce the winner of the match.

Stormy Canyon: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has informed me that both wrestlers has their arm on top of the other during the three count. Therefore he has ordered that this match has ended in a DRAW!!!

Duff Travers: WHAT?? It was Bill Barnhart that won!!!

Goth can be seen turning his head in anger hearing what has happened as he looks at Owen Idol and Erik Black. The fans are not sure what to think of the situation as suddenly the cage walls are being lifted to the air and Goth’s men slide in the ring and start to attack Corrayo in the process. Goth gets in as last and he looks into the eyes of Eric Corrayo as he is being held up by Owen Idol and Erik Black.

Goth: I guess you did not lose Corrayo, so I guess I can’t fire your ass… but you know what? I will give you your little title match…

Tex Martin: What???

Goth: But don’t get too excited my little friend. You see, to win the title you have to beat both Erik Black and Bill Barnhart in a triple threat match… But I’ll make it interesting, they can only pin you while you can pin either one of them… Good luck Eric…I will see you at Thankskilling…

With that Goth’s men drop Corrayo and all four of them raise their arms in the air in unison as the fans boo them and the show comes to an end

Winner: Draw
