Please read and review the show chaps. Myself and my team, as well as all of you, have worked hard on this so I hope you like it.
Some words about each of the segs, and some thoughts on the match would be greatly appreciated.
The Storm Front card has already been finalised, and will be posted on Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on how active you guys are with your Revival reviews, as I wont post the card until we have a couple of reviews)
Credit to Belly for the show opening, and Belly's part in the match. Credit to Sery for his seg. Massive credit to onetruemichael for all the graphics. And huge credit to all of you on the roster for sending me your storylines and angles which enabled me to structure the match in a way that (hopefully) suited your feuds.
Enjoy.

ReVIIIval Review:
-First of all, I just want to say well fucking done. You did such a good job with this show. The graphics, humour between the commentary and of course the match were so well written/designed. I also love the commercials to advertise threads. It's genius. Seriously, if this is the quality we have to look forward to I can't wait for more 4CW.
-Opening Promo was well written. I didn't expect the Custom Cup title to be on the line. I thought it would be the Universal but Custom Cup works too. I'm so glad you've brought it back to its former name. It's so much better as the Custom Cup.
-The Battle Royale.. there's so much that went on I don't know where to start... I like how Rhysus was booked, with him having a battle with Kurtis Raymond with their history and everything went as expected so I'm happy with that. Belly's appearance is interesting, can't wait to see what progresses from that. McSweeney winning the title is good. Beefy puts alot of effort into 4CW and he deserves it.
-Overall, I think the best show possible was pulled off with just one match. Great stuff. Well done to all involved.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
I didn't get some of the references, cuz this was my 1st show in 4CW, but Great show. Loved it. Good commentary.
Not a big thing, but, the cyan and yellow text was a little hard to read on a white background. That's the graphic designer in me speaking.
I look forward to seeing how everything falls together with 12+ contributors. Wooooooo. It was a great starting point with lots to work from.

Im using a black background, so the colours work for me. I'll have a look at the colours for the next show and see if i can find something more neutral.

Well Brock's finisher is the crossface, but the torture rack can work too because the way it was booked here I dont know how I would keep it as a regular move. Honestly I have so much to work with now based on the way it all happened and the torture rack still being a submission. Thanks so much for my first singles title, I honestly never expected to win it. And it's a big deal to me too because of what Rhysus was doing with the title when I first came to 4cw.
Overall the show was great. It had everything I could ask for in a first show. Comedy, suspense, seeds planted for things to come. Very well written.

Loved the show. I figured Chris Drake was going to be the new owner. Figured that shit! Battle Royals are usually hard to write but this one was well executed. Very detailed, never felt all to confused while reading it. Congrats to Brock for winning the title. Sery used to hold that title... Hasn't really been the same since 😉
Can't wait for the first full Storm Front though.

Wasn't writing the torture rack as your finisher, more as a move that would work for this match. Based on your input around the site as a whole u deserved it. Now u have to think about what stip u want for your defenses. Be gd to announce that in a seg at sf...

It was just so good in this match though. it has to be a signature calling card now if not a finisher. i have many decisions to makke now
Great show, very well written.
The pacing of the whole thing was great and very readable. I liked the subtle hint/digs at the links posted. Made me chuckle quite a bit. Everyone came out of this with some levels of respect for their character, no one looked weak. Personally speaking, I very much liked what you did with my character. You used my bits well and integrated them into a superior body of work.
The bright colours are my gripe. I have a white background and reading it on the iPad (sorry for bragging) is unbearable.
Overall, a 9/10. Welcome back... and more of the same please.
Wow, I guess someone had to be first but talk about a smack in the face.
Oh well, great show anyways, well done Brock.

I always said this match was based on participation around the site, and until a day or so ago i hadnt seen u in a while. Unfortunately someone is first to go, altho officially belly was first out, and with 14 participants tje eliminations were going to be quick.
I hope u stick around and really show us what u can do.
Hilds
Never.said I was leaving or complaining aw bout being first Hildsy... 😋
Not to shocked to see Drake being the new owner but it will be very interesting to see what sort of owner he will be. Not sure if if it will just be a figure head or be fairly active I'm hoping for active as I like hilds work.
The little Belly segment part of the match was very well written and has the makings of a great storyline upcoming.
Not shocked to see a lack of segments on the show. I tired to come up with something for the show but it being the start didn't really know how or what to write. I'm sure others had the same problem, which won't be a problem as we get rolling forward.
Love that the title was the Custom. Always been my favorite championship in 4CW. Looking forward to what Brock decides to do with it. Big braging rights being the first new title holder.
I also had a little trouble with the color used for Drakes font but will just change to a Dark background.
The match itself was well written and went well. Battle Royals are hard and if done wrong can be very messy. I liked the way Murphy was written. Played what Murphy is to a tee so well done and thanks for that 🙂 Only problem is it will make my match wirtting look even more dodgy....
First of all, it felt really good reading some new 4CW again. Sometimes you don't realise just how much you miss it!
I wrote a battle royal for Revival 5 (I think it was 5, it was the Revival in 2009) with the Old School Battle Royal, so I know how difficult it can be to write these things. And Hilds, you pulled it off! Everyone got a chance to shine in the match, and the amount of participants didn't overwhelm and bog down the match. It had a great flow, and was a great read.
Well done to Smokey Bear for winning his first singles belt! You're gonna have a huge target on your back now as the only champ in 4CW! Speaking of belts, I liked seeing the Custom Cup belt back, and having an actual picture of it! I remember we had pictures of the belts years ago (when Fish or Wolfie was booking?) but we lost them in the first forum crash.
Now for some general thought. I'm really interested to see what happens with Belly. And it was awesome to see Carlos Murphy back. Maybe I'll have to retire him again 😉.
It really felt like old school 4CW with the return of sponsor ads in the breaks. I love it!
I guessed Chris Drake would be back (not that I'm complaining, it's great to see him back), so I actually marked out a bit for Hugh Knowles' return. Is he going to stay as Drake's right-hand man? I hope so!

Thanks Compy. Battle Royales are hard, I found the most difficult part was trying to give everyone something to take out of the match and build for the future with, but you guys made that easier with the angle you sent me (I've had one message so far saying I got their story wrong, which I apologise for, hope everyone else's went well!)
I always thought the Custom was the most fun title, and it brings out a lot of creativity with stips and stuff, so was an easy choice. Plus, didn't want to give the heavyweight away too early. And couldn't use the Uni as some fat git wont give it back to me...
I brought in ad breaks during one of my previous head booker stints (there have been a few...), and as I want to help build up the site, not just the fed, it was a no brainer to bring them back.
Drake being back was obvious. The only way to bring new blood to the boards is to have a proper superstar in the fed, so after I saw who was signing up I had no option other than bringing him back... I mean, who else is going to headline this fed? Murphy???
Speaking of Murphy... Renny, thanks for the words. I wasn't shocked to see how few segs there were either, which makes the seg Sery wrote even more impressive, and appreciated.
That's eight reviews so far. Thank you so much guys. Lets keep them coming tho, I want one from every roster member, and anyone who doesn't write a review gets jobber to Rhysus... (can you imagine the embarrassment... 😉 )
Hilds
Must say that Chris Drake must be a tight ass of an owner, running ad breaks during a PPV! I call for a boycot 🙂
Pfft most of the roster has already jobbed to me.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
Congrats to Brock! You deserve it. I couldn't have been happier with how Nichols was portrayed. He's a vet who knows what's up and he wasn't getting over-involved early in the battle royale. I thought for a second that when Murphy pulled down the ropes that it was over. Guess not. Haha. Very well written match. I know they are hard to write. Trying to keep track of everyone is no easy.
Can't wait to see what happens with the Universal Championship now that Belly has shown that he isn't handing it over willingly. In fact, I can't wait to see how the 4CW Championship Tournament plays out. I have a few guys on my list after this ppv. Well done to all involved. Couldn't have done it better myself.
BUT, I have one thing to bitch about. The graphic of Nichols is a tad bit off. I see him a the Rob Conway with a goatee and the character is "Main Event" Mike Nichols, and my board user name is MainEventMikey.

My bad on the name mike, i didnt pick it up when it was sent to me. I'll look to sort it for the next time i use the pics... I'll happily get a marker pen and scribble a goatee on there too...

If you want you can scribble some sunglasses on there too. Just for the added "cool" factor.....
First off I think Compy said it best in saying that it was just great to read a 4CW show again. Fucking great to be back.
Seeing the names Jeffery and Phoenix just pump me up for some good old fashion 4CW. Reading all the Wedding/Change of 4CW ownership storyline was great and it leads right into the show.
I love how Hugh Knowles walks on out, I was sold. 100% thought he was the owner/general manager again, but I was fooled! Very nostalgic though. Then one of 4CW's greatest creations in Chris Drake steps in as the new owner! Just gold and makes me really look forward to the future here.
Hate to nitpick, not sure if anyone said anything, but since Drake will probably be having ALOT of dialogue, I think we should go with a different color than the yellow. Its just should bright and tough to read. Your call though, I'll live.
Love the commentary catching up on past events throughout the show, particularly Drake's accomplishments.
I was also surprised to see the Custom Championship go on the line, but I LOVE having a tournament for the World title. Explaining the title's stipulation was a smart move and well done.
Commercial breaks were comical.
Sery with a few words before the match, basic stuff but not bad. Certainly better than nothing.
Having all the wrestlers with pictures is absolutely awesome, I fucking love it. I remember doing it once before and really enjoyed it, but we got away from it. So glad you brought it back with 4CW logo names and all. Beautiful.
You included everyone's entrance for the match which was cool, showing me you don't cut corners and aren't lazy, so cool beans. Matches like this can be REALLY tough, but I think you did a nice job keeping everyone equally involved. I honestly had no idea who would win or anything, because I was a little late too the relaunch. Also noticed you played off people's gimmicks as well, weather move set, Jeffery/Phoenix commentary, or something else. Awesome length with plenty of good funny commentary. I particularly liked the ankle lock part and the explanation and dialogue on commentary:
Phoenix: So what? This match is top rope elimination only. Nichols can tap, it doesn't matter.
Jeffery: It'll matter when Murphy breaks his ankle...
Love that Jeffery line, although I thought the two would have said what the other said, either way I like the exchange. Awesome match and congrats to Brock McSweeney.
Awesome job Hilds, Belly, everyone else involved with this show and getting 4CW back together in general. Couldn't believe all the activity I've been seeing and really looking forward to this again. Let's make it awesome

Thanks for the awesome review latino. Much appreciated.
I'll change Drakes dialogue colour (not happy tho, he's always been yellow...)
Were there any other colour issues? I use a black background and it all looked amazballs on there!
Haha, i didnt put the enterences in (yep, i cut that corner...) Belly edited them into the show, so props to him for that.
The pics were created by onetruemichael. His idea and his creation. And i agree, he did an awesome job.
As for the show. Thanks for the compliments. Belly does deserve some of them (not too much tho, dont want him getting big headed...) but this was the rosters show. You guys sent in the angles and storylines and i just wrote the match around what u wanted. You made this an enjoyable, and quite easy match to write.
Lets continue in the way we've started and out 4cw back on the map as the BEST fed on the web.
Hilds
I have just changed to the dark background and it does make the show look a lot better and easier to read.
Then again if I stic with the light background I can just skip everything Drake has to say....
Yeah if you wanna leave it yellow its no big deal, I did exactly what Renny did and it looked just fine

The 4CW Tron comes to life as the opening video package plays and the generic 4CW theme bursts out of through the PA system and the cameras pan around the packed arena at the cheering crowd focusing briefly onto the signs that the fans are holding up, “Bruise Me Rhysus” ; “[chux] [sux]” ; “Hello Mom” ; “4CW 4 Life” are just some of the signs that the camera can see before being distracted by the pyros exploding either side of the entrance ramp and across the stage area as this sets off a chain reaction of explosions all the way down the ramp to the ringside area, as the turnbuckles explode into life and the final set of pyros begin to die down and the crowd has come alive, screaming and chanting as the show officially begins..
Phoenix: HELLO... I am Scott Phoenix and welcome to the Eighth annual 4CW REVIVAL!!!!
Jeffrey: I am Ray Jeffrey and we are back... That's all you need to know...
Phoenix: We have been gone four months, but like the Phoenix, we have risen from the ashes once again, 4CW Never dies...
Jeffrey: Tell me you didn't just get your name into a 4CW pun... Really Scott? I sometimes wish you would die and put the theory to the test...
Phoenix: I've missed you too Ray...
Jeffrey: I'm not sure how you managed to keep your job, but here we are once again and what a way to return... We have a huge match tonight...
Phoenix: That's right Ray, we have the huge Battle Royale which will see each and every one of our Roster start in the ring, battling it out to win the very first piece of Gold in the New 4CW era...
Jeffrey: There will be no better way to mark your territory than to win some Gold on the very first 4CW show, and every active roster member will by chomping at the bit to win, I can't wait, it's going to be carnage...
Phoenix: Let's not forget though, there is a reason that we are back on TV and that is, we have a new owner
Jeffrey: As long as it isn't Skywolf again, then we are all ok, otherwise we can expect the next show in October...
Phoenix: Skywolf was a visionary and was the man who started this company eight years ago, if it wasn't for him laying those foundation, then none of us would be here...
Jeffrey: Ok, so he had one bright idea.. well make it two, he gave me a 10 year iron clad contract
Phoenix: I always wondered how you kept your job...
Jeffrey: Funny Guy... But seriously, I obviously know who the new owner is but I have been sworn to secrecy..
Phoenix: Sure you do Ray, but I have been hearing rumours all week, apparently a former authority figure has been spotted around London
Jeffrey: Please tell me you are kidding, if it's who I think you...
Scott Phoenix cuts Ray Jeffrey off mid sentence as he raises his hand to his head piece and listens intently as Ray Jeffrey grows impatient and begins to show annoyance at being cut off..
Phoenix: Well it appears the schedule has changed a little and we no longer have to guess who the new owner is...
Jeffrey: If this is who I think it is, we might as well all go home now...
Sarah Loveless stands up from the ringside area and raises the microphone to her lips
Loveless: Ladies and Gentleman, please be up standing for the New Owner of 4CW....
The crowd all go silent as they turn expectantly towards the entrance stage, but still no one appears as chants begin to fill the arena, different sections all chanting different things, the chants that can be heard range from "Bring back Skywolf" too "Burn it KiD" but all of a sudden the 4CW Tron goes black which causes the crowd to go silent. 'My Way' by Linkin Park begins to play through the PA system and a figure steps out through the curtain and onto the ramp steps...
Phoenix: Isn't that?... It looks like...
Jeffrey: ... Hugh Knowles???
At the top of the ramp, the former 4CW General Manager Hugh Knowles straightens his tie and unfastens the single button holding his brown suit jack closed as he looks around soaking up the mixed reaction of confusion and cheers from this capacity crowd.
Phoenix: Knowles bought 4CW?
Jeffrey: I thought he was dead, or committed... Something...
Hugh Knowles signals down to the side of the stage as he is handed a microphone by a runner who disappears as quickly as he appeared, leaving Mr Knowles standing with microphone in hand, pushing his chest out and making the most of his slight 5'8" frame and smiles a big cheesy smile as he raises the microphone to his lips...
Knowles: Welcome to the New and Improved 4CW
The few words from Knowles sends the crowd into a frenzy as a chant of '4CW' encompasses the arena faster than any Mexican wave ever could.
Knowles: As of 11th June 2013, Mr Andolini was officially removed as Director, Major Shareholder and Owner of 4CW... As of this date, 4CW gained a new leader, someone with the drive and vision needed to once again take this company to the heights it deserves to be, a man who when you cut him open, bleeds 4CW, with the passion to make a good wrestling company into the greatest of all time...
The crowd not sure of where Hugh Knowles is going, but they all react to the belief he has in what he is saying and the passion which is spilling from Knowles with every word he utters. The crowd erupts into a "Thank You Knowles" chant, which Hugh seems a little surprised by and very humbled as he looks around soaking in the response before raising his hand to motion for silence as he raises the microphone to once again speak.
Knowles: Thank You... Really.. But if you can let me finish... On the 3rd of June of this year, my services were sought to broker the deal between Mr Andolini and the New Owner for complete ownership and Majority Shareholder of 4CW... As always, I achieved what I set out to do..
Phoenix: Does this mean, Hugh Knowles isn't the new owner??
Jeffrey: You catch on fast Scott...
Phoenix: Then who is...
As soon as Knowles lowered the microphone from his lips, the crowd stopped chanting and all fell silent as the reality of the situation sank in and they realised that Hugh Knowles wasn't the saviour they had been waiting for... Instead the anticipation begins to grow more quickly than before as Knowles once again begins to speak..
Knowles: Ladies and Gentleman, it is my esteem honour and privilege to introduce to you, the new Owner of 4CW...
A big smile has come across Hugh's face as the audience remain silent except that small portion that have been cheering for Lord Skywolf all night for some reason...
Knowles: He is the greatest wrestler ever to appear in 4CW... A 4CW Hall of Fame entrant, a former Everlast Champion, Custom Cup Champion, Tag Team Champion, Universal Title Winner and 4CW Heavyweight Champion... Indeed he is a Grandslam Winner, and Now he is the owner of 4CW...
Hugh pauses for a second, before his left arm spins around, pointing towards the entrance curtain...
Knowles: MR CHRIS DRAKE!!!!
"Stricken" by Disturbed pounds through the PA system and Chris Drake strides confidently onto the top of the ramp, a briefcase clutched tightly in his hand.
Jeffery: It's Drake!! It's Drake!! Oh My God!! I'm so happy a little bit of wee just came out!
Phoenix: It's a turn up, and I have to say I'm not sure if I like it...
Drake shakes Hugh Knowles hand and thanks him warmly before taking the microphone in his free hand and continuing down the ramp to the ring. His jet black, designer suit and black shirt combination making him look older than his 28 years.
He climbs the steps and enters the ring as his music fades out.
Drake: Thank you Hugh. And to all of you in attendance... Welcome to the new dawn of 4CW.
A few cheers and a 4-Cee-Dub chant starts up and Drake uses the opportunity to place his briefcase on the canvas.
Drake: This is a brand new start for this federation, and whilst I will respect and honour what has happened here before today, we have to move forward and evolve to survive. Every single member of the roster sitting backstage waiting for their opportunity in the Battle Royale starts on an equal footing, regardless of history, titles and reputation. Every member of the previous roster is welcome to come and be a part of the new order...
Several chants start up, including one for Scharff, and one for [chux]. Drake waits for the cheers to die down slightly before continuing.
Drake: ...but several of them have chosen not to return. Several of them have decided to take some time out of the federation and recharge.
Boos now as the audience realise several of their favourites wont be present in the new 4CW.
Drake: ...and I respect their decision. It is their right to choose. But, in order to truly relaunch this federation I have made the hard decision to vacate all titles. Anyone who was holding one of the belts will be given the opportunity to claim back their title just as soon as they sign back up to the federation.
Phoenix: So we have no champions! This is huge news!
Jeffery: I hope Drake has only done that so he can put every title on himself...
"Sign the Contract" chants start up now, interrupting Drake again, and forcing him to pause for a few more seconds.
Drake: My office door is always open to any former or future 4CW talent. I'm happy to talk to anyone regardless of any former... animosity.
Phoenix: Animosity might not be strong enough of a word... When Drake was breaking the record as the longest serving 4CW heavyweight champion I think he fell out with every member of the locker room!
Jeffery: They were just jealous because he was sooo much better than them!
Alexandre and Microconcussion chants now sweep through the stadium. Drake smooth's his black suit jacket whilst waiting for the audience to settle again, then runs his hand over his cropped black hair.
Drake: And so onto tonight's business. All members of the active roster are scheduled to partake in tonight's Battle Royale. The winner will be the last participant to remain in the ring after everyone else has been thrown over the top rope. And that person will become the first Custom Cup Champion of the new era.
As he speaks he crouches down and opens the briefcase, than takes out the large silver belt with "CUSTOM CHAMPIONSHIP" stamped on the plate.
Phoenix: Wow, Drake has brought back the Havoc Cup and given it back it's old name.
Jeffery: Great decision already by the new boss. He looks good with that title draped over his shoulder, feel like I've got de ja vu...
Drake: For those of you new to 4CW, the winner of the Custom Cup is able to name their own stipulation for all their future defences, until they lose the title. You want cage match defences? You can. You want to make it a hardcore title? You can. You win today's Battle Royale, and YOU decide what type of title this is.
Cheers now from the audience, more chants for the heroes of yesterday and the legends of tomorrow. Drake grins, his eyes lighting up. He climbs through the ropes and walks up the ramp, pausing and turning when he reaches the top, bringing the microphone to his lips again.
Drake: I have one more, small, matter to discuss before we get the action underway. Mr Knowles...
Drake turns as he calls to the man who introduced him earlier. Knowles appears after a few short seconds, this time holding a velvet bag which is obviously being weighed down by whatever is inside it. Drake hands the briefcase and Custom Championship to Knowles and taking the heavy velvet bag from him.
Drake: Starting at the first Storm Front after Revival, there will be a tournament.
Cheers from the crowd.
Drake: A tournament to decide who will be the first 4CW Heavyweight Champion of the new era!
Phoenix: Wow! Huge news from our new owner!
Drake: This title has been held by legends in this federation, and by October the twentieth, at Gallow's End, there will be another name added to the roll of honour.
Another cheer goes out, with more chanting for 4CW names of the past and present.
Drake: This truly is the Revival of 4CW!
He turns and disappears through the curtains, leaving the 4CW crowd cheering and chanting his name.
Phoenix: We have to take a short break here. Click the following banner to visit our sponsor, but make sure you come straight back!
Jeffery: What the hell are RAW thoughts?
Phoenix: It's just a minor fed that is currently sponsoring us. Anyone that didn't click our sponsor link will have no clue what we're talking about...
Jeffery: I never know what you're talking about...
The 4CWtron comes to life and shows Sery is sitting on a bench in the locker room taping his wrist as he stares into the camera.
Sery: "I'm addressing all you fans right now, to let you know. Things are going to be different from here on out. No more jokes and no more shenanigans. I've beaten all the top talents here in this company. I know what I am capable of. I was the first person to pin the all mighty Synder. I send Inferno into retirement. I've beat the all mighty Supreme. Taken people like Chris Drake and [chux] to the limit. Tonight in this battle royale, I'll live up to my potential with another 4CW Title win. I know it's in me, I know it's what I've always been destined to do. I'm Sery and after tonight you will always remember that name."
The camera pans out as Sery continues to prepare for his big match tonight.
Sarah Loveless has made her way to the ring during Sery's appearance on the 4CW Tron. The ring announcer carefully makes her way up the steps, mindful of the 6" heels she has on.
Loveless: Ladies and Gentlemen. The following match is scheduled as a Battle Royale! Losers will be eliminated only by going over the top rope and touching two feet on the outside floor. There are fourteen men slated to compete in this match.
Cheers around the arena as the 4CWTron flashes into life, displaying each member of the roster.
Loveless: Introducing first, standing 5'11" and weighing in at 210lbs. He is the only zombie in 4CW history... JJ BLAZE!!!
Real Solution #9 by White Zombie hits the PA system announcing Blaze, who makes his way to the ring.
Loveless: Out next, making his debut in 4CW, he stands 6' tall and weighs in at 300lbs... THE SAINT!!!
Is God Dead by Black Sabbath hammers out and The Saint makes his way to the ring.
Phoenix: The Saint is one the new 4CW signings on display here, he's got the size for it, lets hope he's got the talent!
Loveless: Out next, a former Custom Cup champion, standing 5'8" tall and weighing in at 185lbs... SERY!!!

The lights dim as Supernova Goes Pop by Powerman 5000 begins to play. The music pops and the pryos explode off as Mad Dog appears from behind the curtain. He reaches the top of the ramp and stops to pose for the crowd. He extends his arms outward with a cocky grin and then pulls them back crossing his arms nodding his head. He walks down the ramp looking out into the crowd, taking a deep breath, and soaks it all in. He hops onto the canvas and enters the ring through the ropes. He immediately dashes to the farthest turnbuckle and hops on it throwing his hands back over his head revealing his body to the crowd and puts his head back with his eyes closed. After a second he hops down and walks to the center of the ring before facing the crowd again and raising his right arm with a the same cocky grin across his face
Phoenix: The ring starting to fill up, and there are still plenty of guys to come out...
Loveless: Out next, making his 4CW debut, standing 6'2", and weighing in at 245lbs... KENSAI!!!

Phoenix: Wow, 4CW has just two Grandslam winners, and we've seen them both tonight!
Loveless: Out next, a former two time tag team champion, standing 6' tall and weighing in at 231lbs... CARSTEIN!!!
The lights dim as red mist floods the ramp way and stage and Rob Zombie’s “The Lords of Salem” plays from the PA. Then the Lord of the Night, Carstein, rises from the mist on the stage, flanked by Marie Dubois and Renfield. Carstein, Renfield and Dubois step off the list and walk down to the ring
Jeffery: This guy makes me nervous Scott...
Loveless: Out next, a former Custom Cup Champion, standing 5'8" and weighing in at 220lbs... THE BRUISER RHYSUS!!!
"The Turning Point" by Killswitch Engage comes over the speakers and Rhysus appears to loud cheers and makes his way to the ring.
Jeffery: Woo, another midget!
Phoenix: What's wrong with you Ray? Rhysus is the longest reigning Custom Champion in 4CW history!
Jeffery: Pfft, he's still a midget...
Phoenix: A midget who's two and 0 at Revival. I think he's a good bet to go one more today.
Loveless: Out next, standing 6'1" and weighing in at 235lbs...KURTIS RAYMOND!!!
A clock flashes onto the 4CW Tron showing a clock face, winding around to zero. Familiar, moody music envelopes the arena. The lights go out and a white light beams at the stage, shining on 'King' Kurtis Raymond. The crowd are booing but it barely registers with the ex-MMA fighter who walks down the ramp and slides into the ring.
Loveless: Out next, a former Tag Team and Universal Champion, standing 6'1" and weighing in at 230lbs... CARLOS "THE LAW" MURPHY!!!
Walk Ye The Plank by Sounds Like Chicken comes through the PA system and Murphy comes through the curtains and makes his way to the ring.
Loveless: And finally, a former Universal and Tag Team Champion, standing 6'6" and weighing in at 373lbs... BELLY!!!
By Myself by Linkin Park hits the PA system and the lights go out, but no one appears from the entranceway, the crowd look around as the lights come back on, the music stops and still no Belly has appeared, the crowd all look confused as do the wrestlers in the ring, but that confusion only lasts seconds as they forget the missing fat man and turn there attentions on each other, eager to get started
Phoenix: Where is Belly?
Jeffrey: I guess he decided to leave 4CW like all the other Champions from last time we were Live, I guess he has decided to sit at home and see out his contract
Phoenix: He has been here tonight though, we have seen him, this makes no sense
Jeffrey: Well either way he isn't here and we have a Battle Royale to start and these guys are not interested in waiting for the fat guy
The bell sounds as all thirteen remaining wrestlers begin to circle one another. They suddenly all crash into each other in the centre of the ring. Everyone, that is, except Carstein.
Jeffery: Look at that idiot. Hiding in the corner like a coward
Phoenix: I don't think he's hiding, he's just being smart and waiting for the right opportunity.
The group continues to fight it out as Murphy hits a neck breaker on Roddick. Rhysus clotheslines Blaze as Nichols hammers away at Paladin in the corner. Kurtis Raymond whips Sery into the corner where Carstein is standing, forcing him to duck out and move into the other.
Phoenix: Looks like Carstein wants nothing to do with any of these guys!
All of a sudden, Carstein rushes into the mob and drops Rhysus with a pump handle. Rhysus rolls out of harms way as Carstein stalks after him before being stopped himself with an Irish Kiss superkick from The Saint.
Phoenix : Whoa, the biggest guy in the ring just flattened Carstein.
Carstein is pulled back to his feet and pushed to the ropes by The Saint who reins rights and lefts onto Carstein. From behind The Saint, Mad Dog and Sery grab a leg each and unbalance The Saint enough to make him fall forward onto the top rope. Mad Dog and Sery continue to lever The Saint, who is precariously balanced now. Sery lets out a yell and forces The Saint all the way over and onto the mats on the floor.
Phoenix: : And so we have our first elimination of the night...
Jeffery: The Saint sinned by going after the vampire. I think there might be a love story in there somewhere.
Phoenix: : What are you talking about Ray?
Jeffery: Just wondering if Carstein sparkles in sunlight...?
As the commentators speak McSweeney and Blaze are battling each other and sending rights and left at each other. Blaze starts to get the upperhand, and begins setting up a brainbuster, but Brock McSweeney counters it and is able to irish whip Blaze into the ropes. As Blaze hits them, Kurtis Raymond follows blaze into the ropes and clotheslines him over them and out of the match.
Phoenix: Second elimination! Blaze is clotheslined out of this thing!
The remaining eleven wrestlers crash back into one another. Kensai gets nailed with a superkick by Sery. Meanwhile, Paladin Wells and Brock McSweeney begin double teaming the others. They sneak up behind Roddick and spin him around. They hook him and flip him overhead with a double suplex. Both men spring back up and then lunge at Nichols with a double clothesline.
Phoenix: Look at that. Great teamwork by Paladin Wells and Brock McSweeney!
Jeffery: Oh c'mon now. Even you could get in there and mix it up if you glued yourself to my hip.
Phoenix: It's just smart wrestling. Why fight alone when you can team up with someone and grab better odds?
Jeffery: Or, why fight alone when you'd get your ass kicked, you mean.
Paladin Wells and Brock McSweeney together perform a double DDT to Jack 'Mad Dog' Valentine. Unfinished with him, they pick him up and whip him into the corner. Mad Dog puts up a small blocking attempt before being overpowered by the duo. They wail away at him with a series of right and left hands, before finally tucking him under and hitting a double downward spiral!
Phoenix: For two guys that have never teamed before, these two certainly seem to be on the same page!
Just then, the 4CW Tron flickers from the Live Arena feed as "By Myself" once again begins to blare out through the PA system, echoing around the arena, the capacity crowd all turn their attention from the ring and up to the entrance area as the 4CW Tron once again plays the entrance Video of Chris 'Belly' Marks
Phoenix: What? We have already had the entrances, why is his music playing again
Jeffrey: Belly probably just wanted to finish his food first...
The crowd let out an initial cheer as through the curtain, wearing his black pants and sleeveless denim top covering his black t-shirt with his trademarked skull embroided on the front, a black bandana tied around his head as the large frame of Chris Marks steps onto the stage... Draped over his shoulder is the 4CW Universal Championship, which he adjusts briefly to make sure it is perched correctly, as he looks around the arena at the fans, the initial cheers dying down as they are not quite sure what to make of his arrival.
Phoenix: I guess Chris Marks didn't get the memo about all the championships being stripped and starting from a clean slate
Jeffrey: Of course he got the memo Scott, he just doesn't care...
Phoenix: He should care, that title he's carrying doesn't exist at the moment, its vacant.
Jeffrey: If your that bothered by it, then be my guest, go and take it off him, I dare ya
The music continues to play as the action in the ring comes to a stand still as even the competing wrestlers are not sure what to make of this late arrival, but just in case they begin to ready themselves as the large beast of a man slowly walks down the aisle towards the ring.
Phoenix: It looks like everyone has put their differences aside for a minute and all focused on Belly
Jeffrey: Take out the big man, its good strategy, but Belly is not even in the ring yet, they shouldn't be standing around just staring they should be fighting
Chris 'Belly' Marks continues his walk as he reaches the ringside area, yet instead of sliding into the ring or making any motion to enter the squared circle, he turns and begins to walk around it, still staring at every individual inside the 4CW ring, not once has he taken his eyes off each and every wrestler in there, but still he does not enter. He slowly passes the announce table where he briefly takes his eyes off the ring and glances at Ray and Scott before giving up a little smirk and then once again focusing on the ring as he continues to walk around..
Phoenix: Did you see his eyes, I've not seen him this intense in a long time Ray
Jeffrey: I missed it sorry Scott, I must have erm... Dropped my pencil or something...
Phoenix: Yea right, If you say so...
Belly continues to walk around the ring until he is once again back where he started at the foot of the aisle, looking into the ring and he raises his right hand and simply taps his Universal title, before smiling. The nearest man to him is Jack 'Mad Dog' Valentine as he has used the ropes to regain his feet after the devastating downward spiral and realizing what is going on, he motions to Belly inviting him into the ring but Belly just stares back, the smirk gone from his face as he turns his back on both the ring and everyone inside it as he begins to walk back up the ramp which infuriates Jack Valentine who is shouting for Belly to come back...
Phoenix: What was that about, Belly is leaving already..
Jeffrey: I'm not sure Scott, but what ever point Belly was trying to make, it seems like he has done so..
Phoenix: All he has done is show a lack of respect to each and every one of the guys in that ring and to Chris Drake our new owner by carrying around that vacant title
Jeffrey: That title isn't vacant Scott, its his title, if anyone has been disrespected tonight it has been Belly.
In the ring, Paladin Wells and Brock McSweeney are the first to spring back into the action, they both look at each other and just then, Mad Dog turns around as Paladin Wells and Brock McSweeney double clothesline Valentine over the top rope crashing to the floor below which is the catalyst for the ring to once again become carnage with every wrestler ploughing back into each other.
Phoenix: Jack 'Mad Dog' Valentine has been eliminated!
Jeffery: He was too busy watching and shouting at Belly to realise he is in the middle of a match... It is his own fault.
Phoenix: Mad Dog doesn't look happy about being blindsided
Jeffrey: Its 4CW Scott, never take your eye off the ball....
In the ring, Carstein has set Rhysus up in a double arm DDT
Jeffery: Blood Drinker coming up from Carstein! He's gonna sparkle all over Rhysus' face!!
Carstein lifts Rhysus and slams him into the mat, face first, making blood squirt from Rhysus nose.
Phoenix: Rhysus may have broken his nose there...
Carstein begins to lift Rhysus from his prone position, but is interrupted by Sery performing a missile drop kick on him, causing Carstein to collapse to the canvas.
Phoenix: Rhysus was going then, but Sery saved him. Could these two fan favourites be getting together?
Jeffery: Well, it makes sense. Those two midgets together make one whole wrestler...
As Sery stands he is attacked by Kensai, the two men grapple and trade punches against the ropes. Carstein gets back to his feet, shakes his head and is immediately caught by a lariat from Kurtis Raymond. Rhysus gets back to his feet, and comes directly into Raymond's line of vision. The two men lock eyes as the crowd roar in excitement.
Phoenix: These two have history, and I think they might be about to settle a score or two...
The two wrestlers move towards each other, exchanging trash talk and ignoring everything else going on around them, before Raymond throws a right, only to face a retaliation. Both men exchange right hands with Raymond getting the upper hand in the exchange. He whips Rhysus into the ropes, but misses the attempted lariat on Rhysus' return as he ducks under Raymond's extended arm. He misses another lariat and as he swings to try and catch him for a third time, is hit with a flying clothesline by Rhysus. Raymond is down, to the delight of the crowd.
Rhysus immediately drags Raymond back to his feet and tosses him over the top rope, but Kurtis Raymond manages to catch a grip on the top rope and stop himself flipping over them. Raymond turns around and is met with another clothesline from Rhysus, causing him to flip over to the ring apron. Desperately holding on to the second rope to avoid elimination, Raymond drags himself up and throws right hand fists to save his title hopes, knocking Rhysus to the canvas. Kurtis Raymond climbs back through the ropes and pulls Rhysus up and manoeuvres him into the corner of the ring where he hits him with a right hook, then a left hook, followed by two knees to the jaw, Rhysus slumps to the canvas. Raymond smiles, turns away from his victim and is caught with a kick to the gut from Rod Roddick, Roddick then raises his arm in the air, as if serving a tennis ball and slices his arm down in a chop that lays out Raymond.
Phoenix: The Serve!
Roddick is spun around by Mike Nichols, who pulls him in tight with his arms wrapped around, then throws him up and over his head with a belly to belly suplex. Nichols, on the canvas now is immediately set upon by Murphy who applies his version of an ankle lock.
Jeffery: The Lock of the Law! Murphy has got it on! Nichols is gonna tap!
Phoenix: So what? This match is top rope elimination only. Nichols can tap, it doesn't matter.
Jeffery: It'll matter when Murphy breaks his ankle...
Nichols face is twisted in pain, and he tried to remove Murphy from his ankle. The remaining wrestlers all seem happy to allow Murphy to disable the most decorated 4CW wrestler in the ring and ignore what is happening to continue their own fights.
Close to Murphy and Nichols, Carstein uses the ropes and hauls himself to his feet, Rhysus rushes at him and flips the still dazed vampire straight over the top rope and to the floor outside.
Phoenix: Carstein is out! Carstein is out!
Jeffery: Aww, no more Mr Sparkle.
Nichols is still held in the Lock of the Law, and has been struggling for almost two minutes now. Nichols has managed to turn onto his side slightly, thus lessening the pressure on his ankle.
Phoenix: Superhuman stuff from Nichols here. A regular person would have passed out from the pain long ago!
Jeffery: Murphy still has the hold locked in though, Nichols is done!
Rhysus steps away from the ropes, but is grabbed by Brock McSweeney, who has now moved away from Paladin Wells, and is lifted into a torture rack. McSweeney bounces and synchs the hold causing Rhysus to call out in pain. McSweeney looks to the ropes and moves towards them, still bending Rhysus' body across his shoulders. McSweeney flips Rhysus over the ropes, but Rhysus catches the top rope and dangles for a second, unseen by McSweeney who moves away from the edge. Carstein quickly stalks around the outside of the ring and drags Rhysus grip off the rope, making Rhysus touch the floor and become eliminated.
Phoenix: Hey, Carstein is already out! He can't do that!
Jeffery: hahahahaha, Rhysus just got sparkled! I'm never gonna get bored this!
Phoenix: I'm already bored of you assuming Carstein is in the Twilight films...
Nichols has now been in the Lock of the Law for over four minutes, but has continued twisting his body until now, finally, he is on his back and is able to use his free leg to push Murphy off of him and break the hold. Sweat pours from Nichols face, which is still twisted in pain. He rolls away and clutches his ankle trying to protect it and see how much damage Murphy inflicted.
Phoenix: Well, I think Nichols ankle now has a big bullseye on it for the rest of this match, which I don't think will last very long for him...
Sery and Kensai are still battling each other and grappling to gain an upper hand. Sery's superior speed seems to gain him an advantage, but Kensai's strength turns it around. Kensai manages to bounce Sery against the ropes, and as he returns both men go for a superkick, nailing each other and both dropping to the canvas.
Phoenix: Wow, both these guys pulled a superkick out of their lockers at the same time there!
On the far side of the ring, Paladin Wells hits Rod Roddick with a back elbow and forces him up against the ropes.
Phoenix: Rod Roddick could be in trouble here. Paladin Wells, is about to eliminate him!
Roddicks's feet leave the ground and he is flipped backwards over the top rope
Jeffery: Roddick is elimin--NO!
Phoenix: He hangs on!
Using the top rope, he just barely manages to keep his feet from touching the floor. Paladin, thinking Roddick is gone, turns his back as Roddick slides back inside.
Sery and Kensai, still dazed, both start to regain their feet. Sery looks up just in time to see Murphy running at the pair and delivering a double clothesline to eliminate them both.
Phoenix: Wow!! Murphy eliminates both Sery and Kensai! Murphy proving to be the ultimate opportunistic predator today.
Jeffery: We have to take a quick break folks, click the link but come straight back!
Phoenix: We hope you signed up to the Wrestling Draft Game, but don't forget about 4CW!!
Jeffery: Let's get back to the action...
Nichols is still on the canvas, holding his ankle and avoiding people. Luckily everyone seems to be busy elsewhere to pay much attention to him. Roddick and Paladin Wells now begin to exchange blows back and forth in the far corner. Wells hits a rising knee to the gut of Roddick, forcing him to double over in pain. Wells grabs Roddick's head hits a samoan neckbreaker, laying Roddick out. Meanwhile, Kurtis Raymond dives at Brock McSweeney's knee with a shoulder block. McSweeney falls on the attacked knee, as Raymond now hits a dropkick to knock him onto the mat.
Phoenix: Kurtis Raymond taking the veteran down!
Raymond raises his arms in celebration as he slowly backs up to where Nichols has brought himself gingerly to his feet. As Raymond backs into him, his eyes widen with the realisation that there is more than one opponent in the ring. Raymond turns around and is pulled into a belly to belly suplex that sees him clear the top rope and land on the mats outside. Nichols immediately drops to the canvas, grimacing and holding his ankle again.
Phoenix: Kurtis Raymond is out, but Nichols has further damaged that ankle! We're down to our final five...
Jeffery: Final four and a half with Nichols ankle.
Raymond slaps the mat on the outside in frustration. He gets to his feet as Jeffery and Phoenix are speaking and grabs the foot of Mike Nichols, dragging him beneath the bottom rope and onto the mat below. Raymond reigns punches onto the injured Grandslam winner before whipping him into the steel barrier
Phoenix: C'mon now! He shouldn't even still be out here!
Jeffery: It looks like he wants a little pay back...
Phoenix: Folks remember, Mike Nichols did not go over the top rope, so he was not eliminated.
Jeffery: But he still needs to get back inside the ring. He's likely to get disqualified hanging out there with the losers...
Back on the inside, McSweeney pulls himself to his feet, using the ropes for support. Paladin Wells hits a snap suplex on Roddick and quickly pulls him back up again, this time, for a brainbuster. Roddick rolls around on the mat, clutching at the back of his head.
Phoenix: Paladin Wells going to work, focusing on the back and neck area of Rod Roddick
As Paladin stands this time, he is met by the waiting arms of McSweeney who whips him into the ropes and catches him in a backbreaker. He stands Paladin back up and hits him with a stiff uppercut which knocks Paladin back into the corner. McSweeney takes the advantage by climbing to the middle rope and hitting a series of right and left hands as the crowd counts to 10 along with him. But just as he finishes, Carlos Murphy hurries over to him and pushes him over the top rope.
Phoenix: There goes Brock McSweeney annnnnnnnnnd NO! He hangs on!
Just as McSweeney was about to fall to the floor, he manages to grab onto the rope and hang on to save himself. He slowly rolls back inside to be met with kicks from Murphy and the two men begin grappling.
Phoenix: Carlos Murphy taking advantage, as he's done all match... and very nearly plunging Brock McSweeney out of this match...
On the outside of the ring, Kurtis Raymond bangs Nichols' head off the steel steps and whips him into the announcers table
Jeffery: What the hell! Get away from here!
Phoenix: Why don't you do something about it Ray?
Jeffery: Well, err, I would but I got this injury in the war...
Phoenix: Thought so.
Kurtis Raymond, seeing Nichols slumped next to the announcers table starts his walk up the ramp and out of the match. Back on the inside, Paladin Wells nails Rod Roddick with a running lariat, allowing Brock McSweeney to hook in his crossface.
Phoenix: Crossface on Roddick!
Jeffery: Yeah, but I don't think Paladin Wells is going to give him time to do any real damage to Roddick!
Wells moves in, pulling McSweeney off of Roddick. Wells drags Roddick to his feet and pushes Roddick's head under his arm, lifts him vertical and slams him down with a jackhammer.
Phoenix: Damn!! The Last Word from Paladin Wells!!
On the outside Nichols is pulling himself together and slowly getting back to his feet, favouring his one good leg.
Phoenix: Great courage from Mike Nichols. This is why he's a Grandslam champion!
Jeffery: What? He's a Grandslam champion because he's good at getting beaten up?
Phoenix: No Ray, he's a Grandslam champion because he never quits. He never gives up.
Paladin Wells and Brock McSweeney begin grappling, leaving Carlos Murphy to catch his breath on the other side of the ring and Rod Roddick slowly coming back to his senses after the jackhammer.
Phoenix: Paladin Wells and Brock McSweeney are so evenly matched physically.
Jeffery: Wells is my favourite to win this thing now, he's the biggest guy left in there.
Murphy rushes into the warring pair and hits McSweeney with low blow. McSweeney doubles up and Murphy uses the opportunity to put the bigger man onto his shoulders, setting him up for an angle slam.
Phoenix: Universal Justice!! Murphy is on fire today!
Murphy slams McSweeney down, using the bigger mans weight against him and driving the air from his body. Paladin Wells moves back across to Rod Roddick and drags him up by the back of his neck. He tucks Roddick's head under his arm and suplex's him up and over the top rope. Roddick manages to grab the top rope and save himself, landing on the ring apron outside the ropes. Wells grabs at Roddick again in an effort to push him from the apron and out of the match. Roddick looks Wells in the eyes and shouts "You can not be serious man", before grabbing Paladin Wells tights and suplexing the bigger man over the top rope with both men falling to the floor and being eliminated.
Phoenix: Paladin Wells and Rod Roddick have been eliminated!
Jeffery: Idiot, he eliminated himself just to get Wells out of the match.
Roddick and Wells are on the outside still trading punches, with Nichols nearby, trying to make his way back towards the ring.
Phoenix: We're down to our final three here. Carlos Murphy, Brock McSweeney and Mike Nichols.
Murphy and McSweeney stand on opposite corners of the ring, staring at each other. McSweeney still looking hazy from the Universal Justice Murphy delivered to him three minutes ago.
Jeffery: Finally, all the losers are out of here. Now we can get down to business.
The crowd erupts again as the two men stare across the ring at one another. Finally, McSweeney moves towards Murphy only to be met with a drop toe hold for his trouble. He tries to get back up, but Murphy meets him with a Russian leg sweep. This time, as McSweeney tries to stand, Murphy grabs his ankle and twists it around the opposite direction, forcing McSweeney to cry out in pain.
Phoenix: Murphy's got the Lock of the Law hooked in, and we know what kind of damage that can do, just look at Mike Nichols who's still struggling with it!
Jeffery: But you still can't win by submission.
Phoenix: It won't matter... Murphy will damage McSweeney enough to all but finished this!
McSweeney struggles to pull himself out of the hold, but each time he makes some progress, Murphy pulls him backwards again.
Phoenix: I can't see how he can escape a move like that...there's just no way!
McSweeney wiggles around, finally able to twist around onto his back. Murphy tries desperately to hang on to his ankle, but McSweeney finally manages to use his leg strength to push Murphy away from him, forcing him to stumble backwards towards the ropes. Just as he does, Mike Nichols pulls down on the top rope, allowing Murphy to stumble up and over the ropes and onto the mat below.
Phoenix: Right place, right time for Nichols, who's got a small measure of revenge for the damage Murphy has done to his ankle.
Jeffery: Carlos Murphy has been eliminated!
Still grimacing in pain, Mike Nichols moves back into the ring and watches as McSweeney slowly stands up, confused.
Jeffery: Technically, McSweeney gets the credit for that elimination. He was the one who pushed him over the rope, after all.
Phoenix: Yeah, with Mike Nichols' assistance!
Jeffery: Well, Murphy is gone, and we are looking at our final two.
Phoenix: You're right, Ray. One of these two men will become 4CW's next Custom Champion!
Both competitors are hobbling as they approach each other in the centre of the ring. McSweeney hits a right hand but seems not to phase Nichols. Nichols comes back with a right hand of his own, which also seems not to effect McSweeney.
Phoenix: Both these guys are running on empty out there...
Both men trade blows for several seconds as neither is willing to lose the exchange. Finally, McSweeney gains the upperhand with a swift kick to the midsection. McSweeney then plants Nichols with a DDT. Feeling his moment is about to come, McSweeney waits for Nichols to rise to his feet. As he slowly does, McSweeney attempts to whip Nichols into the far ropes. Seeing that Nichols is heading in his direction, Carlos Murphy suddenly jumps up on the apron and pulls down on the ropes. Nichols, however, manages to reverse the Irish whip and instead send McSweeney running...
Phoenix: Murphy back up on the apron! Trying for a little revenge on Mike Nichols... but wait a minute!
McSweeney clatters into the ropes and starts to spills over the top of them. Murphy, realising his mistake releases the ropes just in time and McSweeney is aware enough to grab the top rope and save himself.
Phoenix: The 41 year old veteran using all his experience to save himself there.
McSweeney moves back towards Nichols, who is again on the mat holding his ankle. McSweeney pulls Nichols upright and aims a double axehandle at Nichols brow, Nichols blocks with his arms and rakes McSweeney's eyes.
Jeffery: Ahh, there's the Nichols we all know and love.
Nichols stands next to McSweeney and holds him across his chest, in the set up position for his version of the rock bottom.
Phoenix: Nichols getting set for the Push Killer!!
As Nichols tries to lift the heavier man his ankle gives out and allows McSweeney a second or two to reverse the Push Killer and lift Nichols up into his torture rack. McSweeney pulls either end of Nichols body, inflicting pain. Slowly, hobbling, McSweeney moves towards the ropes with Nichols on his shoulders.
Phoenix: This is the second time we've seen this from Brock McSweeney.
Using the last of his strength, McSweeney throws Nichols over the top rope and onto the mat below.
Phoenix: Nichols is out, and this thing is over!! We have a new Custom Champion!!
Paranoid by Black Sabbath hammers through the PA system announcing the winner of the match as Nichols is helped away from the ring by two members of the back stage team. Sarah Loveless enters the ring, the 4CW Custom Championship clutched in one hand and a microphone in the other. As she begins to speak the Black Sabbath song begins to quieten.
Loveless: The winner of this match, and NEW 4CW CUSTOM CHAMPION... BROCK McSWEENEY!!!
McSweeney takes the title and raises it high in the air as his music pounds out again.
Phoenix: What a showing from Brock McSweeney. But the assist must surely go to Carlos Murphy for this one.
Jeffery: Well, that's us done for another Revival!
Phoenix: 4CW will return with Storm Front on Sunday the 14th of July with the first round of the 4CW Heavyweight Championship Tournament as announced tonight by our new owner, and grand slam winner, Chris Drake
