Was that just every title plus some changing hands? And a return from Senecca? Those things almost cancel each other out.

Anything can happen in the 4CW!
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!

Don't worry it was only long enough to drop my title... I'll graciously bow out again. Sometimes you take the good, sometimes you take the bad, in this case you take them both. So there you have it...

Look, you have to at least stick around long enough to lose to me a few times.

If it means that much to you...

It does. You always knew you were my one and only to squash.
When I'm feeling up to it (nasty flu/bed time now), I'll review the full show.
All I'll say at the moment is that it's really quite something, and it feels great to be a part of the new era. And yeah, it feels good to be the Custom Cup #1 contender, and pull off my first PPV win.
~☆~☆~Pronouns: she/her/hers~☆~☆~
~☆~☆~4CW Grand Slam Champ~☆~☆~
Awesome. I need to win a match though. Phil McGroin isn't going to take that kick out of the ring by Glock Nine. He'd best watch himself from now on.
Also, chair to the face. I love it! I always thought that if I was going to chair shot someone, it would be direct to the face. Might have to make that a new signature move. Ref bump, wrap a chair around my opponents face mwahahahahaha.
Triple Threat Match:
I have to say, I love the name Footprints on the Moon for the double stomp. I also loved the name Count the Lights. Whoever wrote this match should commend themselves. Triple Threat matches are never easy to write, but to write one where every character comes out looking strong is even harder and you nailed it perfectly here. Great read all around. I have to say that Paige is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters and I’m super happy she got this win here. I can’t wait to see where she goes from here.
Rhys Cain segment:
Nice solid segment from Rhys. Its always nice to see these solid face segments, and a segment from Rhys is always extra nice. Good stuff man.
Bryan White vs. Senecca Universal Championship
Well, for starters, it’s great to see this belt back in 4CW. It’s the only belt I’m missing so mark my words. Whoever walks out as champ, you will be facing at some time. Mark my words. ? It’s matches like this that make me very happy that I’m not in the know for what’s going on behind the scenes. The revelation that Quin Cox was Dirk Meyer was fucking epic!!! I thought that was the perfect revelation. The match was great, and I can’t wait to see what Bryan White does with the belt. Great match!
Hall of Fame Inductee:
Belly wasn’t in the hall of fame prior to this? Fair enough! I’m happy to see him inducted. Reading this list of names made me miss some of our previous talent like Stardust and Chris Drake.
The Kaokame segment:
This one took me a second. I was trying to figure out who these two idiots are and then The Kaokame came out. Great introduction to this character. After looking at next weeks card, this guy is going to be my opponent. I can’t wait to see what this guy is capable of, oh, and welcome to 4CW. You are going to love it here.
Supreme vs. Sery Custom Cup Chamionship:
Loved the match! Sery did a great job writing this match precisely how I saw it playing out. I thought we both looked very good and major props to Sery on the win. This feud has been a blast and I look forward to working with you more in the future.
Gallows End:
Another match that I have not won. I am really looking forward to getting to be a part of this.
Viper vs. Rhys 4CW World Championship:
Damn! This was another stellar match. Nothing on this show was poorly written. The high impact moves throughout this match made it a real treat to read. It’s great to have Viper back in 4CW and he certainly deserves a run with the Championship. I can’t wait to see what he does with it.
MVP:
MVP of the night has to be a tie for me between Viper and Paige … actually, I’m going to side with Paige on this one. I’m really liking her character, and the more I read from her, the bigger a fan I’m getting. I can’t wait to see where she goes with the character. Over all though this show was amazing. 4CW is really finding it’s grove again.
Many thanks, Reamer. It really does mean a lot to me.
Triple Threat:
I've never written a triple threat match and can only imagine how hard it is to maintain some balance. To borrow some more words from Reamer, everyone walked out of this looking strong. McGroin—who's quickly become our resident redneck brawler—has a certain quality I like, in and out of the ring. His lack of self-control and impotent rage are entertaining, and his RP perspective is rather unique. I love that the guy's handle is just "Camera Man". Says it all, doesn't it? Very aggressive showing in this match. Actually, everyone was aggro in this! The No-DQ aspect aided this, of course. I enjoyed Glock's Revival entrance and am echoing Reamer's comment about "Count the Lights" being a great move name. I'm taking from the description that the move itself is basically Gail Kim's "Eat Defeat" as performed by a beast of a man. Also like "The Hollowtip Bullet" as far as nickname/commentary hype goes. I've taken some nasty bumps in my year here, huh? Proud to have pulled out the win.
Rhys Cain Segment:
I'm kind of a sucker for face segments like this. A humble, confident champion bares their soul; talks about what their reign means to them; and finally, they acknowledge the worthy challenger—complete with a "May the best man win" moment. This one is quite well done.
Brian White vs Senecca - Universal Title:
Solid match. As I've mentioned before, I am a Brian White fan. Don't have much to say on this one, hmm... also, I accidentally skipped over it while writing my show review! Oops! Nice to see the Universal Title back in action. I would also say that about Senecca, but alas, I missed that era. Odd character, it seems—in a good way. I think. ...
Argh, real-life Paige fears hates clowns! Pilgrim Paige, however, hurts them. HA HA HA!
The Kaokame Segment:
This was alright: simple, effective. Decent intro to the Kaokame. I dunno if the jobbers in this are gonna be stock characters or not, but they seem like they'd be really fun to beat on. If a day comes when we build up a tag division, I'd love to squash them using Tsukiko and Hazel. Argh, wish we had the roster for a division! I wanna see The Coven all nab up some gold! #GoldenPilgrim 😉 I'm only one girl, and regularly writing for 3 roleplay characters would be a bit much. 2 RPs I can apparently do, and can include the other girl(s) as wanted/needed. Hell, it was fun doing the solo RP for Hazel. But Paige's gals would be more usable in tag or faction action. Ha! Faction action.
Supreme v Sery - Custom Cup Title:
Ah, cool! One of those storytelling matches that results from the culmination of a heated, well-established angle. Every 4CWer who got to witness this feud was waiting for this showdown, and it did not disappoint! Supreme's disrespect felt pretty oldschool, in a good way. Having Avenged in-house to play his theme was a nice touch, though the description was rather limited. The Pure Rules stipulation is cool; it was implemented quite well here. Some twists, some turns and—boom!—we have a new champ. Took a lot to keep Supreme down, which is a nice double-positive: Sery wouldn't give up, and Supreme comes out of it looking strong as well.
Oh! All that being said, am I the only one who mixed up these guys' alignments? The way the segs played out, I'd taken Sery for a heel/tweener and read Supreme's role as face.
Rhys Cain v Jon Viper:
Absolute anarchy. Another well-written match. Honestly, though, I have mixed feelings about the ending. When I say that, I don't mean the outcome. I'm referring only to the "3-tables SS press" spot. It pushed my suspension of disbelief to the limit. Not saying it can't happen. Hell, it probably has—seems likely on the indies. Still, an overall slugfest and an intense match to change up champs.
MVP of the Night:
Sery. Lotta laughs out of this character/story along the way to Revival. I feel like I got a really good picture of him in that match, reminding me of an Owen or, yes, a Kendrick. I do like an underdog, and here we have a well-portrayed underdog. Two Sery-brand™ Foam Thumbs up.
Overall impression:
This was a great show. It really felt like a big PPV event, and everyone looked strong here. Woot! 4CW is back on the rise!

Hmm. What, pray tell, made that exchange sexual and/or romantic in your mind? Or did you merely imagine that Rhys and I were two loitering nitwits using a hotel lobby's WiFi, who have utterly forgotten what hotels are for?
(Just busting your balls, fella.)

Then we cut to the main show, the live arena, where the camera pans the jam-packed crowd of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario!! "Break and Dominate" by The Charm The Fury kicks in as the different parts of the crowd are highlighted and we get an introduction from the commentary team.
Phoenix: WELCOME TO REVIVAL! We are LIVE from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada! It's time for the biggest show of the year! It's time for 4CW Revival XI! My name is Scott Phoenix and I am here with my broadcast partners, James Roberts and Ray Jeffrey!! Guys, are you excited for tonight's show?!
Roberts: I'm beyond excited! I -
Jeffrey: Shut up Roberts, no-one wants to hear you! Scott, I'm beyond excited! I can't wait to get this show underway! We've got four HUGE matches tonight!!
Phoenix: Indeed we have! Our main event tonight, is for the 4CW World Championship! "The Bruiser" Rhys Cain, who won the title back in October, will defend against the returning Jon Viper in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match!!
Jeffrey: And my boy, Supreme, the 4CW Custom Cup Champion will take on Sery with his title on the line! Once he wins, no more life coach! I hope he beats the shit out of that little runt!
Roberts: And it's exactly that underestimation Sery is banking on to get one over on Supreme! Also tonight, Brian White has a mystery opponent! Who knows who it will be?!
Phoenix: All that to come tonight, but now we are opening the show with triple threat action!!
"Numb" by Linkin Park hits the PA system. The crowd pop a little as our first competitor comes out in cut-short jeans and taped up fists.
Carson: The following contest is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall where the winner will get a future shot at the 4CW Custom Cup Championship! Introducing first, now residing in Helston, England, weighing in at 14 stone, PHIL ... MCGROIN!!
Phil McGroin makes his way down to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He ignores them for the most part, cockily making his way into the ring. He walks over to Carson and demands something from him.
Carson: *clears throat* Ladies and gentlemen, McGroin has informed me he would like to be announced as "the man who once made a cow tap out", PHIL ... MCGROIN!!
Jeffrey: What did I tell you last month?! You all doubted me!
McGroin nods in approval and waits in the corner for his opponents to come out. The arena lights and 4CWTron go out, leaving everything in pitch black. A thick layer of purple fog begins to envelope the stage and ramp. A few long moments pass in darkness. The crowd buzzes in anticipation as pale searchlights scan around the arena. At each side of the stage, sudden bursts of pyro go off; aqua at stage right and silver at stage left. Spotlights settle on Tsukiko and Hazel as they appear at their usual positions, in unusual attire; they each wear long, formal dresses, in their preferred colors. They bow their heads in silence. The dulcet tones of The Third and the Mortal's "Atupoema" commence. From high above center stage, a strong purple glow appears, growing clearer to the eye as it begins to descend. Moments later, its source is revealed—a huge crescent moon, giving off a radiant blaze of violet light. Upon it is Pilgrim Paige, wearing an elaborate black cloak with the hood up. With her back resting comfortably, she sits inside the crescent, nestled in its crook. The Lunar Pilgrim appears utterly at peace, nonchalantly dangling her legs over the sides.
Roberts: A chilling and unique entrance for the Lunar Pilgrim tonight at Revival XI!
Phoenix: It's the biggest show of the year! Go big or go home!
Jeffrey: Damn right.
The moon's descent halts a few feet above the ground. Hazel and Tsukiko approach from opposite sides as Paige stands, perching precariously upon the prop moon. Each woman offers one hand, gracefully assisting Paige down to the stage floor. "Atupoema" cuts out, and Paige confers quietly with her faction mates. They each nod in agreement to something Paige has said, and turn to leave. Hazel goes first, but Tsukiko lingers. She leans close to Paige's hooded face and whispers in her ear, then smiles brightly and hurries backstage, her aqua blue dress flowing about her ankles. The prop ascends back to the rafters.
Phoenix: After some kind of conference, Paige has sent her allies to the back.
Jeffrey: Tsukiko got a few more words in with her before taking off, and looked pretty chipper about it, too. These two have been very... "friendly" with each other of late, so to say. I wonder what they were saying?
"Atupoema" suddenly cuts out. Pilgrim Paige stands tall, with her back straight. She calmly walks to the edge of the ramp and bows her hooded head. The 4CWtron shows dark, stylized clips of Pilgrim Paige descending the staircase of the Moontower, stoking her fire pit, etc. A moment passes in silence. She abruptly performs a high vertical leap, causing her cloak to flutter dramatically. Paige lands in a 3-point stance as her stage pyro goes off! The fans pop as the lights go up, accompanied by dancing purple spotlights. The pounding of Cradle of Filth's "Under Huntress Moon" blasts through the PA system. The Lunar Pilgrim throws back her hood, giving a hearty "WOOO!" and revealing her new magenta hair, worn in long, loose curls. She then removes the cloak and tosses it down, showing off new ring attire as well: black spandex pants with strips of magenta; new black boots with magenta trim; and a longsleeve spandex crop-top with a blend of purples, greens and blues on the chest, with a strip of purple down the middle.
Carson: Making her way to the ring, hailing from Newfoundland, Canada and now residing on... The DAAARK Side of the MOOOON... weighing in at 134 pounds... PILGRIIIM PAAAIIIGE!
Paige throws up the horns and pumps her arm, then windmills her hair as the song's drums break into a double-kick section, upping the intensity. Some fans get in on the headbanging action. Paige nods her approval, then takes off for the ring full-tilt, sliding in and charging up a far turnbuckle. She pumps her fists and windmills on the buckle before getting to her usual rope-running routine.
Jeffrey: There's the crazy I love to see in this girl! Don't get me wrong, the witchy-weird side is cool. But this side is headbangin'-hot! Firing on all cylinders, baby, that's what I like to see.
Roberts: Pilgrim Paige is definitely coming into this match with a ton of energy, and a ton of confidence. A big opportunity lies in a victory here tonight, and you can bet she's ready for action.
Paige heads into the opposite corner of McGroin and awaits the final opponent. The stage darkens. A choir of singers appear on a previously unhighlighted part of the stage. They are just humming and ooohing. Centre stage, a priest stands in front of two caskets, open with mannequins inside. The reverend starts to speak.
"Two seperate worlds...
opposite...
yet so alike in many ways..."
People start to walk across the stage, all dressed for a funeral. They stop at either one of the two caskets, pay their respects and move on. This continues for a few moments while the reverend continues to speak.
"Both worlds are engaged...
in an eternal war...
the war of good vs evil..."
One woman, with a black veil, stops at one of the caskets, and unable to contain her grief, starts losing it. She flails her arms, she falls to her knees and she wails incessently until two ushers have to come over and physically remove her from the string of people queuing up for the caskets.
"Which is which?
You decide."
The priest steps forward, with a mic in hand, as the last of the people leave the caskets, and he speaks directly into the zoomed in camera.
"Only one thing will outlast both armies...
only one thing will survive in the end...
and that special, magical item...
is that of which we call..
the Hollowtip Bullet."
The priest places a bullet shell gently on each casket in turn, and then he turns his back and walks away from the stage. As he does so, both caskets lower into the stage, with fire erupting from the depths to which they are plunging. Then, "You Better Run" by Motorhead" blasts through the PA system and the opening riffs change the lighting, so that the curtain is now more visible, and out comes, the final challenger of the match, Glock Nine, dressed in his usual, black trenchcoat and bandana.
Carson: And finally, this man stands at 6 foot 6 inches tall, he is known simply as ... GLOOOOCK ... NINE!!
Jeffrey: And here comes the beast they call Glock Nine! I'm looking forward to this! Phil McGroin and Pilgrim Paige would be at a weight disadvantage combined - but this is every man and woman for themselves, and my money is on the Hollowtip Bullet himself!
Glock 9 points to the depths where the two caskets were lowered then points in turn to the two people waiting for him in the ring. Then, he strolls down the ramp, heavy metal shredding his arrival. When he gets to the ring, he climbs up on the apron, goes leg-over-the-top-rope into the ring and taunts to the hard camera with one fist in the air. Glock takes his position in one of the two uninhabited corners and the referee gives them all a quick talking to before ringing the bell!
As soon as the bell rings, Phil McGroin and Pilgrim Paige both have the same idea and they simultaneously attack Glock Nine. Glock is initially overwhelmed by the flurrying punches but eventually gathers his bearings and starts fighting back, knocking both McGroin and Paige down with fists of his own. McGroin is first to his feet and Glock grabs him and throws him out of the ring through the middle rope. Pilgrim Paige gets to her feet and Glock sends her Irish Whipped into the corner. Glock charges at Paige and knocks her silly with a corner stinger splash, sending Paige down to the bottom turnbuckle. Glock then hits her with boot after boot until the referee tries to pull him away. Glock pushes the referee away and continues to boot Paige repeatedly.
Phoenix: Well in any normal match, Glock would be disqualified for putting his hands on an official. But this is a triple threat match and there are no disqualifications!
Jeffrey: And that's exactly why Glock is going to win this match! The threat of disqualification is usually the only thing that keeps him somewhat in check!
Pilgrim Paige finally gets some respite when Phil McGroin jumps up onto Glock's back and attempts some sort of sleeperhold. Glock steps out of the corner and tries to pull McGroin off his back. It looks like Glock is going to do so when Paige is finally back on her feet and she charges at Glock with a dropkick. Glock falls backwards and in the process inadvertantly slams McGroin underneath him. Paige pulls Glock's hair to get him to his feet and manages to get him into the corner. She then chops once and sends a "Woooo!" throughout the arena but Glock doesn't appreciately the showmanship and pie faces Paige away from him. Paige falls but flips over back to her feet and runs at Glock - but Glock lifts a foot up and Paige eats boot!!
Roberts: That boot would be enough to knock out anyone! Pilgrim Paige just got rocked!
Glock decides to get down and hook the leg, but before he can even get a two count, McGroin jumps in to break the fall. Glock glares at McGroin, as if he is a rodent that won't go away and gets back to his feet. McGroin throws a few punches but Glock no-sells them, before sending McGroin to the ropes. On his return, McGroin is hoisted up by Glock and taken out with a Sidewalk Slam! McGroin rolls out of the ring and Glock turns his attention back to The Lunar Pilgrim. He picks Paige up viciously, grabs her by the chin while shouting obscenities before whipping her out, only to bring her back at the last second for a Short-Arm Clothesline that sends Paige flipping head over heel and crashing to the mat!
Phoenix: What a vicious, brutal clothesline by Glock Nine!
The crowd start to make themselves heard by raining down boos on Glock Nine. Glock notices this and leans over the ropes, flipping the bird and screaming some obscenities at the closest members of the crowd. A woman covers her child's ears as Glock continues his tirade, and it seems like he is almost going to come out of the ring and get face to face with a fan, when Paige grabs him from behind and rolls up Glock! 1...2... BUT NO!! Glock is able to avoid humiliation at the last moment!
Roberts: Rule 101! NEVER turn your back on your opponents!
Jeffrey: Shut the hell up, Roberts! What the hell do you know about wrestling?!
As Glock gets back to his feet, he looks to recover from his fumble, but Paige's adrenaline is pumping! She somehow gets up to all 6 foot 6 of Glock and takes him out with a hurricanrana! Paige hooks the leg once again. 1...2... BUT GLOCK POWERS OUT!! Paige decides to take advantage of the offensive position she is in and climbs the turnbuckle! Paige taunts to the crowd, who respond with a big pop and she jumps off the turnbuckle with a double footstop to the small of Glock's back!!
Phoenix: Pilgrim Paige lands her Footprints on the Moon!! Can she capitalise?!
Pilgrim Paige takes a few precious seconds to flip over the big man and cover him. The referee slides in... ONE... TWO.... NO!! Glock kicks out with a roar, and throws Paige away as he does so! Paige lands roughly but gets to her feet at almost the same time as Glock. She charges for another attack, but Glock reverses and takes her out with a German Suplex! Pilgrim Paige shows her heart as she stumbles back to her feet but she only falls victim to a second German Suplex! Again, Paige gets back up and Glock Nine looks a little bewildered by this, so he takes her out with a Belly-to-Belly suplex for good measure! Glock hooks the leg and the referee counts... ONE... TWO... TH--NO!!! PAIGE LIFTS A SHOULDER AT THE LAST NANOSECOND!
Jeffrey: I thought Glock had it! Pilgrim Paige is one tough lady!
Roberts: Pilgrim Paige is using the crowd's aduration for her to stay alive in this match!
Glock, maybe partly impressed, but more so annoyed by his opponent's refusal to give in, gives her a few vicious elbows to the face! As he lifts her to her feet, a welt above her left eye is visible and warrants more boos from the crowd. Glock Nine positions himself by lifting his foot up to Paige's chin, then he falls backwards and shatters her jaw with Count The Lights!!
Jeffrey: COUNT THE LIGHTS! IT'S ALL OVER!!
Glock hooks the leg of the now motionless Pilgrim Paige. The referee counts the fall. ONE... TWO.... but the fall is broken by McGroin, who swings a steel chair directly onto the back of Glock!! Glock moves away from Paige as he writhes from the chair shot and McGroin wastes no time in hitting him with a second chair shot!
Phoenix: And Phil McGroin is taking full advantage of the triple threat rules!!
Phil McGroin goes to the ropes and lifts the chair triumphantly with a ROAR!! The crowd catch on to his enthusiasm and pop big for the smaller guy. Glock Nine stumbles to his feet and Phil McGroin PLANTS HIM ACROSS THE FACE WITH A HUGE CHAIR SHOT!! Phil McGroin throws the chair away and hooks the leg of the Hollowtip Bullet! ONE... TWO.... THR--- NOOO!! GLOCK KICKS OUT!! McGroin sits up, stunned, astounded, in disbelief that he was unable to put the Glock away!
Roberts: How in the blue hell did Glock find the energy to kick out of that?!
Phoenix: This is 4CW, James! No-one fights as hard or as long as the 4CW superstars!!
As Glock rolls out of the ring, now busted open from the chair shots, Phil McGroin jumps to his feet and goes for the steel chair again. As he does so, he notices Paige getting to her feet. McGroin swings the steel chair for her head but Paige ducks and unleashes a flurry of body kicks on McGroin, before kicking the steel chair into his face. McGroin rolls out of the ring and lands near Glock Nine. As both men get to their feet, Paige "WOOOOOO'S" for the crowd and runs to the ropes. She comes back - AND LAUNCHES HERSELF OUT OF THE RING with an over the top rope suicide crossbody!!
Phoenix: Sailor Moon!! The Lunar Pilgrim just took out both men and sacrificed her own body to do so!
All three competitors lay on the outside, trying to find the strength to get back to their feet. The crowd start chanting "THIS IS AWESOME!" in appreciation of all three efforts from these opportunity-chasing superstars. Pilgrim Paige is the one who gets to her feet first. She picks up McGroin and throws him back into the ring with the intention of covering him. As she rolls into the ring herself, McGroin is more ready than she anticipated. He grabe Paige and takes her out with a swinging neckreaker out of nowhere! 1..2...BUT NO! Paige kicks out! McGroin, the frustration getting the better of him, quickly gets Paige to her feet and throws her around like a rag doll. Paige fights back with some wild swings - but McGroin grabs a hold of her and takes out Paige with a T-Bone Suplex! He then wastes no time in climbing the turnbuckle. He throws his arms into the air and the crowd roars despite the fact he is probably hyping himself up more than them - and McGroin flies off with a Moonsault on The Lunar Pilgrim! ONE... TWO.... NO!! PILGRIM PAIGE KICKS OUT!!
Phoenix: Phil McGroin has shown a more competitive side in this match than we saw in his debut match - but he still can't get the pinfall he needs to win this match!
Jeffrey: He's pulling out all the stops! What else does he have left in the tank?!
As McGroin and Pilgrim Paige lay shattered in the ring, Glock Nine gets back to his feet on the outside. He has a vicious snarl on his face, amplified by his bloody crimson mask from McGroin's chair shots. Glock Nine lifts the apron and pulls out a Kendo Stick and slides back into the ring with it. With an unforgiving sadisticness, he unleashes on McGroin with the Kendo Stick! One shot, two shots, three, four, five! Pilgrim Paige gets back to her feet - and Glock SMASHES the Kendo Stick across her head, snapping it in two in the process and sending Paige rolling out of the ring, writhing in agony, clutching her face desperately!
Glock Nine takes one half of the snapped Kendo Stick and uses it to choke out the fallen McGroin! The referee tries to remove Glock but is unable to do so! McGroin sends some fists wildly up above him, one of which catches Glock in the eye by mere chance and allows McGroin to get out of the choke. McGroin uses the ropes to struggle back to his feet. He runs at Glock with a clothesline - but Glock stands tall and the impact sends McGroin to the mat. McGroin gets to his feet, slaps himself in the face, and runs back for a second clothesline but again lands on his ass. On the third attempt, Glock lifts a big boot, but McGroin ducks under, comes back from the other side of the ring ropes and hits Glock with a dropkick! Glock lands on his ass and McGroin runs back to the ropes for another dropkick,. but Glock is quick to his feet this time and kicks McGroin hard in the gut! McGroin cluthes his stomach, and Glock grabs him setting him up for a powerbomb! Glock lifts McGroin into the air - AND NAILS THE LAST RIDE!!
McGroin is out for the count and Glock looks to make the cover - when he sees something out of the corner of his eye - before he can turn to face Pilgrim Paige though, she LAUNCHES from the top rope, hooking him on her way down and hitting a Corkscrew Stunner from the top!!
Phoenix: MY GOD! PAIGE HITS THE LUNAR ECLIPSE!!!
Jeffrey: I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!
Paige hooks Glock Nine's leg! ONE... TWO... THREE!!! Glock Nine kicks out almost IMMEDIATELY after the three count, but it's too late!!
Carson: Here is your winner, and the #1 Contender to the 4CW Custom Cup Championship... PILGRIIIIIM ... PAIGE!!
Pilgrim Paige rolls out of the ring and stumbles up the ramp! The crowd cheer along with her as she surrounds herself by the front row fans on her big Revival victory! Tsukiko and Witch Hazel come down the ramp and celebrate with their comrade! In the ring, Glock Nine is furious that he was just a nanosecond too late in kicking out and kicks the rope in frustration as he tries to catch his breath. Eventually, he lets his anger consume him, and roughly kicks McGroin out of the ring and to the outside!
Phoenix: Well, Glock Nine is furious with himself! And he's taken it out on McGroin! But that doesn't change the fact that Pilgrim Paige just picked up arguably the biggest win of her career! She will now get a 4CW Custom Cup Championship opportunity sometime at a future event! Tonight, however, she will celebrate her hard-earned victory!
Jeffrey: Here's some advice for everyone! Stay out of Glock Nine's way, because he's not going to take this loss kindly! I'm a massive fan of Glock Nine, but even I'm not stupid enough to go near him with the mood he's in after that loss!
Roberts: All three of these competitors left it all in the ring! This is action you will only see here in 4 CORNERS WRESTLING!!

We cut backstage where Gabriel Crowe is standing by with the 4CW World Champion.
Crowe: Ladies and gentlemen, I am here live with the 4CW World Champion, "The Bruiser" Rhys Cain! Cain, tonight, you face off against Jon Viper in the main event, in a TLC match with your 4CW World Title on the line! How are you feeling heading into this momentous main event?
Cain readjusts the title on his shoulder a little before responding.
Cain: You know, I'm proud of only two things in my life, Crowe. The first is my beautiful daughter. The second is being 4CW World Heavyweight Champion! With my two championship reigns combined, I've now held this championship for 357 days total and that's more days than any other champion before me. I'm proud of it because through all the adversity, through all the insecurities, through all the black and blue beatings, through all the time I can't even remember the last time I wasn't in pain, each of those 357 days has been a symbol of how much these fans in the 4CW faithful kept me going. Every cheer, every chant, every pop, brings some guttaral instinct to survive out of me. And tonight, with all my fans behind me, I say bring the chairs, bring the tables, bring the ladders and Jon Viper, bring everything you've got. Because you're gonna have to make sure I am no longer able to move before I allow you to take this championship from me. This 4CW World Championship is the definition of my success, it is the be all and end all of my dream as a Pro Wrestler, and I will fight tooth and nail until I literally have nothing left to hold on to it.
Cain takes the mic from Crowe and gets right in front of the camera so he is the focus.
Cain: Viper, if you'd come and challenged me like a man, you'd have still got this match and I'd say may the best man win. But you had to go and make this personal... everyone always has to go and make things personal... and if you haven't been watching for the past seven years I've fought every man who made it personal and come out stronger than I was before... so now you've got the spotlight you wanted, Viper, you've got the fury that you wanted to draw out of me... but be careful what you wish for, Viper, because they don't call me The Bruiser for nothing. Tonight, you will see exactly why I am the most decorated World Champion in 4CW history. Tonight, you will see why those fans give me everything they've got and I'm going to return the favour by giving them everything I've got. Tonight, the dragon cuts the head off the snake.
The camera fades out and we head back to the arena.
*~*
The lights lower to blackness as Wherever I May Roam by Yashin begins. The music breaks down before suddenly bursting to full volume again as the lights and pyros go into action. Brian 'The Freight Train' White bursts onto the stage punching the air as the crowds pop in anticipation to the match. Tommy saunters out behind White, his arms outstretched, encouraging the crowds reactions. The titantron package has been modifies so that the train is more reminiscent of the back to the future steam train with a laughing skill on the front instead of the fog light and flames pouring from it's sides. This is punctuated by scenes of White dominating his matches, spearing Paige, slamming Rhys Cain, smashing a chair into Bally Hoo and the like.
Carson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Tommy Young, from Barry, South Wales, weighing in at 400lbs, BRIAN ... "THE FREIGHT TRAAAAAIN" ... WHITE!!
The two make their way towards the ring, White with a determined smirk, Tommy winking over the top is his sunglasses at any pretty lady he sees on his way down.
White enters the ring and throws his arms wide as he sneers at the crowd. The reaction is heavily mixed and White takes it all in. Tommy has gone to flirt with a pair of beautiful blond girls that have managed to get to the front and leans nonchalantly against the barriers.
White paces around the ring, his arms still outstretched, allowing the entire crowd to get a good look and as the music fades he reaches out to one of the stage hands for a microphone.
Conflicting chants actually start up of 'Bri-an Whi-ite!' 'Freight Train sucks!' and forces a couple of false starts from White, who chuckles to himself. Finally he manages to start.
White: So here we are, Revival XI, and apparently my 'punishment' is at hand. Well excuse me if I'm not shaking in my boots, but I've heard it all before. So, Miss Quinn Cox, I hope your man has enough testicular fortitude to take me on cus otherwise I'll be feeding them to him! So get your ass out here and make me sorry! I dare you!
White chucks the mic at the stage hand, not caring if it's dropped or connects and stands ready to receive his opponent. General Manager Quinn Cox appears on the titantron, with a grin her face.
Cox: The time has come, Mr White, for your punishment.
The lights go out. Silence. Then, the titantron flickers back on to show a greyscale shot of some kids in a circle. They are moving around eerily and singing...
"Ring-a-ring o' roses,
A pocket full of posies--"
After the kids sing 'posies', the screen starts to flicker and crackle. Distortion envelopes the screen and suddenly, "HA HA HA HA HA!" echoes around the arena. The lights come up and Brian White wonders where his opponent is - but the crowd go ballistic as standing BEHIND The Freight Train is a monstrous sight! Dressed as a ringmaster, with red blazer and black top hat, make-up creating a pale face and dark grungy eyes, is none other - THAN SENECCA!!
Phoenix: Oh, snap! It's SENECCA! Senecca is here! And he's got the Universal Championship with him!!
Jeffrey: This is - I'm so - I don't know who to root for! I LOVE THEM BOTH!
Senecca holds the long-forgotten 4CW Universal Championship up in the air with a delicious smirk on his face. Brian White finally reads the response of the crowd and turns around to see his nemesis. He looks startled for just a second, but quickly regains his composure, takes a step back and roars menacingly at his foe. Quinn Cox appears on the titantron once more.
Quinn Cox: Let me finish the announcer's introduction, here! The following contest is for the 4CW Universal Championship! In the ring, now hailing from Valhalla, weighing in at 350lbs, HE IS THE 4CW UNIVERSAL CHAMPION.... SENECCA!!
Senecca longingly stares at his title before finally handing it over to the referee, who lifts the belt high as the crowd pop for the surprise championship match! Senecca removes his Ringmaster jacket and his top hat, and drops them to the outside. Brian White quietly prepares himself as the referee hands the title to the timekeeper, gives the men some final words and signals for the bell!
The crowd start chanting, "LET'S GO SENECCA / FREIGHT TRAIN SUCKS" as the two circle the ring and prepare for the clash that has been built up for months. The two behemoths finally clash in the middle of the ring with a grapple and struggle back and forth for a few moments before Senecca overpowers White and throws him away. White gets back to his feet and shakes off any cobwebs he may have. Senecca cackles "HA HA HA HA HA" but White wastes no time in getting back into it with another grapple in the centre of the ring. This time, White overpowers Senecca and throws him across the ring. Senecca recovers and smirks still, then runs at White with lefts and rights. White fires back and the two clobber each other over and over much to the excitement of the crowd.
Phoenix: These two monsters have broken out in a brawl!
Senecca gets the advantage with the strikes and sends White to the ropes. On his return, White gets clotheslined to oblivion by Senecca, who follows it up by coming off the ropes with a big splash. Senecca hooks the leg. 1...2... but White powers out of the fall! Senecca brings White back to his feet and takes him out with a body slam and the continues the offense with a leg drop! He hooks the leg again. 1...2...KICKOUT!
Roberts: Senecca is bringing heavy offense in the early going!
Jeffrey: What do you expect? The two most fantastic guys in 4CW are currently occupying the same ring!
Senecca stays on the offense, picking up The Freight Train and Irish whipping him into the corner. Senecca runs towards White for some kind of attack, but White lifts a boot and hits Senecca in the face. White turns around Senecca, so that he is in the corner, and shoulder barges him in the gut with brute force! White barges Senecca in the gut two or three more times before dropping a headbutt. While Senecca reels from the attack, White runs back to the opposite turnbuckle, then runs and takes out Senecca with a Stinger Splash! Senecca stumbles out of the corner and White lifts him up for a Sidewalk Slam! White hooks the leg. 1...2... NO! KIckout!!
Phoenix: The Freight Train is showing just how dominant he can be too! I can't seperate these two!
Both White and Senecca get back to their feet, White just a second earlier, and he uses the second's advantage to sneak up behind Senecca and lift up the 350 pounder and hit a Fallaway Slam! White hooks the leg again! 1...2...NO! Senecca isn't done yet. White mounts Senecca ground and pound style and delivers vicious lefts and rights, the sweat from his knuckles smudging Senecca's make up - but eventually Senecca blocks an incoming blow and reverses with a right of his own which allows him to push White off of him and get back to his feet. White runs at Senecca but Senecca clashes with him viciously and White falls back down on his ass. Senecca, now filled with adrenaline, beats his chest like a gorilla and White looks momentarily taken aback but a second later it's gone and he's back to his usual demeanor. White comes at Senecca again, but Senecca is ready with a big clothesline! While comes back and is taken out with a second clothesline! On the third attempt, Senecca grabs hold of White and hits an STO! Senecca hooks the leg. 1...2....NO!! White kicks out!
Jeffrey: The Freight Train still has a full tank! Senecca will have to pull out the big guns to put him away!
Deciding it's time to indeed pull out the big guns, Senecca stomps a few mudholes into White before heading over to the corner. He looks back at White - and starts to climb the turnbuckle! Senecca jumps from the top rope and hits Brian White with a THUNDEROUS TOP ROPE BODY SPLASH!!
Jeffrey: That shook the damn ring!
Senecca hooks the leg and gets the referee to come and count the pin. 1...2... BUT NO! Brian White still doesn't give up! For the first time, Senecca isn't smiling anymore and repositions White, locking him into a Tazzmission!
Phoenix: Oh my god! Senecca has that Tazzmission locked in! We could see it end right here!!
Senecca applies the pressure on the hold but White writhes and thrashes as much as he can!! He fights and fights - AND SOMEHOW MANAGES TO REACH THE ROPE!! The referee forces the break. Senecca pumps himself up, getting back up to his feet, laughing out loud again and motioning to the crowd to laugh along with him. A chorus of "HA HA HA" erupts from the crowd and Senecca feeds on their energy, shaking the ropes with vigour. The crowd love it and pop louder. Senecca motions for White to get up and as The Freight Train slowly gets to his feet, Senecca gets ready to strike. White uses the referee as support to help him get back up and Senecca looks to be making his move when suddenly, Tommy Young grabs his leg!! Senecca manages to shake off White's apprentice, but the distraction allows White to run over and club Senecca across the head with a wild elbow.
Phoenix: Why the hell is Young getting involved in this match? This has nothing to do with him!
Jeffrey: You know how it is, Scott! It's only cheating if you get caught!
Senecca continues to get clubbed. White sends him to the ropes and takes him out with a Big Boot. Suddenly, Quinn Cox comes running down from the entrance way! She gets down and stares down White, who grins at her, and shouts some words of thanks for allowing him this championship opportunity sarcastically, and then continues to club on Senecca. Cox walks over to Young, blasting him for getting involved. Tommy Young brushes her off and looks away, so Cox swings him around - AND SUPERKICKS THE CHIN OFF HIS FACE! Tommy goes down like a sack of potatoes!
Roberts: Quinn Cox with her own personal brand of justice!
Jeffrey: I didn't know Quinn could fight like that!!
White looks astounded at what Quinn Cox has done and leans over the ropes, not neccesarily annoyed that his apprentice was hurt, but simply because Quinn Cox is involving herself in proceedings. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" White shouts at her, to which Quinn replies, "Not who you think I am!"
Quinn Cox pulls at her own hair and rips off a WIG!!
Jeffrey: W... W-What the fuck is this?!
Quinn Cox the grabs her own face and tears her own SKIN OFF!!! It is soon made clear it's not skin she's ripping off, but rather a PROSTHETIC MASK!! She rips it all off, to reveal, none other - THAN DIRK MEYER!!!
Jeffrey: That- That's DIRK MEYER!! DIRK MEYER IS -- BUT I -- I DON'T --- WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
Roberts: It seems what's going on is Quinn Cox is not Quinn Cox at all! Dirk Meyer has been the ... woman ... in charge of 4CW all this time?!
White can't believe what is happening, for whatever he expected, it certainly was not this! Senecca turns around White, but White sees the distraction coming! White pushes away Senecca - and Senecca knocks the referee out by accident! Dirk Meyer slides into the ring during said distraction! Brian White turns around, Dirk Meyer goes for another Superkick!! White ducks - and Dirk Meyer mistakenly superkicks Senecca!! Senecca crashes to the mat and White grabs Dirk Meyer from behind and throws him out of the ring! Meyer crashes on the ground hard! White picks up Senecca AND LIFTS THE 350 POUNDER IN THE AIR!! HE LEANS FORWARD AND HITS A CRUSHING POWERBOMB!!
Phoenix: Brian White hits the TRAIN CRASH!!
Brian White grabs the referee and shakes him awake! The referee comes too and White hooks the legs of Senecca! ONE... TWO.... THREE!!!
Carson: Here is your winner... AND THE NEEEW.... 4CW UNIVERSAL CHAMPION ... BRIAN ... "THE FREIGHT TRAAAAAAIN" ... WHITE!!
White jumps up to his feet and roars with joy as the referee hands him the 4CW Universal Championship! Tommy Young runs into the ring and lifts his mentor's hand high in the air! White pulls away and climbs the turnbuckle, holding the title high in the air!
Phoenix: Well, I don't know what the hell was going on with the end of that match! But through all the confusion and arnachy, Brian White has become the 4CW Universal Champion!
Roberts: What was supposed to be his "punishment" has become the most important win of his career! It's his first 4CW gold and he will be delighted!
Jeffrey: I -BUT - I JUST - I MEAN - Brian White won and that's... amazing... BUT - DIRK MEYER?!? I'm gonna be sick...
Phoenix: Watch my shoes, they are new! Well anything can happen here in 4CW! What a show we've had tonight, ladies and gentlemen, but now we want to turn your attention to a special announcement...
*~*
*~*
We cut to the commentary desk.
Phoenix: Congratulations, Chris Marks! The latest inductee into the 4CW Hall of Fame!!
Roberts: Belly will go down in history as one of 4CW's greatest, and we couldn't be more priveliged to have him in the prestigious inductees list!
Jeffrey: Maybe one year, I'll get in...
We cut back to the ring and the crowd starts to make noise in anticipation of another match when suddenly two shirtless men in basketball shorts jump over the railing behind the announce table and roll into the ring.
Phoenix: Oh, what-? I’m sorry folks, this is inexcusable, two fans have just leapt into the ring. Can security get these fools out of here? We have a show to run!
Jeffrey: And they have mics. They’re gonna talk. Great.
The two men in the ring pose momentarily before putting their arms on each other’s shoulders and start to speak.
Justice: First things first, y’all. My name is Zack E. Justice and this is Nik Waverly. We’re two big fucking deals and we couldn’t help but notice that this Stormchaser Tournament is all over Twitter and Instagram. So what do a couple of big shots like us do? We march ourselves down here and get ourselves a tryout match.
Waverly: Daddy’s money’s gotta be good for something, am I right?
Justice: That you are, bro. So I’m gonna make this short and sweet, cause we got things to do and chicks to bang. So here’s our offer-
Waverly: Anybody out there in the back… come take us on. Any takers, we’ll knock you down. And on the next Storm Front-
Justice: Whenever that is.
Waverly: Right! On the next Storm Front, we’ll get not one, but two spots in this tournament. And if we’re wrong?
Justice & Waverly: I guess you’ll have to deal with both of us!
The two men throw down their mics in unison and face the ramp, waiting for someone to show.
Jeffrey: “You’ll have to deal with both of us”? That’s they’re catchprhase? Where the hell do they find these idiots?
Roberts: Ray, I normally disagree with you in every sense of the word, but… yeah, that was bad.
Jeffrey: Shut up, Roberts! I don't need your approval!
After about thirty seconds, the crowd begins to grow restless, as do Justice and Waverly, as nothing of note happens. Then out of nowhere, the arena is plunged into darkness.
Jeffrey: Oh God, now what? You know, as you get older, surprises become less and less fun. You should ask your mother, Scott, she knows all about that.
Phoenix: Ray… she died three years ago this month.
Jeffrey: I know, right?!
Suddenly, the stage and random parts of the audience are bathed in a golden light. The Jumbotron sparks to life as Delain’s “The Gathering” hits, flashing each word as it is sung over the PA system.
“The song that angels sing
The spell that calls The Gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life, The Gathering!”
The music stops abruptly and the arena is plunged back into darkness. The word “Kaokame” appears on the Jumbotron before the lights come back on. In the ring, both Zack E. Justice and Nik Waverly are staring aghast at the ramp, holding each other closer than either would like to admit. And five feet behind them stands a man in a full black hooded cloak with a plain white mask.
Jeffrey: Who the hell is this now?
Phoenix: That must be this… Kaokame character! I guess he answered the challenge!
After their momentary failure of courage both Justice and Waverly turn chuckle to each other and turn around… only to be frozen in fear of the other man in the ring. The Kaokame slowly walks to the two men, circling them and sizing them up. After making a full revolution, he backs up a few feet and pauses, slightly tilting his head. Showing both his cowardice and his definition of friendship, Zack E. Justice takes Nik Waverly by the shoulders and shoves him towards their opponent. He only has a second to yelp in fear before he is met by a stiff right hand. Hoping for an advantage, Justice follows suit, but is met by a hard back elbow.
Phoenix: That’s one way to separate the men from the boys!
Jeffrey: I’m… not sad in the least.
Nik Waverly is only back up to one knee before The Kaokame’s superkick meets him squarely in the jaw. Seizing the opportunity, Justice starts pounding on the back of the cloaked man’s head, miraculously managing to stun him. He plays the crowd for only a second, as the miracle is short-lived and he is turned inside-out by an insanely violent lariat.
Phoenix: And that’s that, I suppose!
Jeffrey: This… Kaokame is a miracle. This is literally the first time in over a decade we agree on something.
The Kaokame then turns his attention back to Waverly and lifts him to his feet. After staring at him for a second, he picks him up and places him over his robed shoulders. He then walks over towards the corner of the ring and pauses.
Phoenix: Is he going for some sort of Death Valley Dri- Oh my, God!
Scott Phoenix is cut off by The Kaokame dropping down, executing the Death Valley Driver by (fittingly enough) driving Nik Waverly into the bottom two turnbuckles. Waverly stays on the mat, motionless. By this time, Justice has gotten back to one knee and attracted The Kaokame’s attention. He walks over to the stunned man and helps him to his feet… and launches him into the far ropes. On the rebound, he pops him vertically into the air and brings him back down with a reverse STO. Instead of letting him roll off, however, he wraps his far leg under Justice’s chin and grabs his neck with both hands, locking him in a Koji Clutch.
Phoenix: The Kaokame hardly had that locked in for a second before Zack E. Justice started tapping out! But since this isn’t an actual match- sanctioned or otherwise, its not doing him any good!
Jeffrey: I guess Daddy’s Money couldn’t buy him a pair of balls! What a pussy!
After ten seconds of the hold, Justice’s taps grow slower and slower until it is obvious that he has lost consciousness. Seeing this, The Kaokame lets out an ethereal scream and almost immediately the lights in the arena momentarily black out. When they come back on, the only evidence of the assault other than the two unconscious bodies is a note scrawled on the mat in black that simply reads “Hell came home”.
Jeffrey: What in the hell was that?
Phoenix: I wish I had an answer. I mean, we don’t even know if he was entering the tournament, had an issue with these two men, or just wanted to inflict pain. Whoever- or whatever- he is, I can tell you with no uncertainty that he is by no means subtle.
*~*
Roberts: Its now time for the 4CW Custom Cup Championship match!
Jeffrey: Its going to be nice to see Supreme tear Sery apart. Nothing would make me happier!
The opening chords to Red Flag by Billy Talent hit the arena and the arena explodes. Sery steps out onto the stage to a huge ovation and in his hands is a T-Shirt shooter. He walks down the ramp and shoots a few T-Shirts into the crowd. Sery does a circle around the the ring shooting T-shirts into the crowd then slides into the ring. Sery shoots a few more shirts into the crowd from the turn buckle then puts down the shooter. Sery motions for the belt around his waist.
Jeffrey: I want a T-shirt to wipe my ...
Roberts: Thats enough! This match is for the Custom Cup championship. Sery eagerly awaits his opponent, Supreme. The winner gets the belt. After months of therapy sessions, Sery finally was able to get a title match out of Supreme.
Jeffrey: Only because Supreme was so desperate to get away from that freak’s therapy sessions!
On the stage there are a bunch of instruments that have been set up and the band behind them is Avenged Sevenfold! They rip into the opening of Nightmare as Supreme comes out of the curtain holding his 4CW Custom Cup Championship high into the air. He stares at the band and holds his belt high into the air before walking down the ramp to the ring. Supreme grabs a sign from a kid in the crowd that has Sery’s face on it and rips it in half. As the kid starts crying Supreme just keeps waltzing to the ring. Supreme slides into the ring and hops on the turnbuckle and holds his championship high into the air. Then hops off.
Roberts: Now remember this is going to be Pure Rules everyone! It’s Supreme’s special stipulation for title defenses. The rules are each wrestler has three rope breaks to use during the match to break up pinfalls or submission. After that any submission or pinfall cant be broke up by the rope break. There are to be no close fist punches to the face. First use of a closed fist will result in a warning, anything after that will cost the wrestler a rope break. A wrestler is subjected to a 20 count if he falls out of the ring. The championship changes hands on a DQ or a count out.
Jeffrey: Can we get started already? Jeez!
Supreme hands his belt to the ref and the ref holds it in the air then calls for the bell. Sery and Supreme stare each other down in the middle of the ring then Sery extends his hand for a handshake and Supreme spits on Sery’s hand. Sery looking disgusted takes his hand and slaps Supreme straight across the face with it. Supreme counters with a solid hard punch to the face that sends Sery straight down to the match. The ref comes up the Supreme and gives him a warning.
Roberts: Supreme lost his cool and got a warning, in his own match!
Jeffrey: I wish it was me who laid that fist into Sery!
Sery gets back to his feet and Supreme and Sery lock up. Supreme throws Sery back and Sery pops right back up and goes right back into a lock up. Supreme again throws Sery back, but Sery pops up and goes right back into a lock up. Supreme again pushes Sery back but this time instead of going down Sery bounces off the ropes and comes right back with a nice drop kick to send Supreme to the mat. Supreme slaps the mat out of anger and slides to the outside of the ring.
Roberts: Supreme looks frusterated!
Jeffrey: This is all just strategy my friend.
Supreme paces back and forth on the outside of the ring for a second until Sery comes charging with a dive to the outside of the ring that sends them both into the barricade. Sery gets up first and gets back up on the ring apron and waits for Supreme to get to his feet. Once he does Sery does a springboard moonsault onto Supreme sending him crashing back to the floor. Sery picks Supreme up and grabs him by the hand and tries to whip him into the steel ring steps. Supreme doesn’t budge and instead he throws Sery into the ring steps. Supreme takes Sery and tosses him back into the ring.
Phoenix: Versus any normal person, Supreme wouldn’t have such a huge size advantage.
Jeffrey: He’s going against a lamer version of Frodo tonight though.
Supreme does a few stomps on Sery before picking him up and bringing him right back down to the mat with a suplex. Supreme goes for the legs right away and locks in a single legged crab. Sery starts to scream in anger and he decides to use one rope break by grabbing onto the ropes.
Roberts: Sery decided it was better to use a rope break, to preserve those legs.
Jeffrey: Smart move by Supreme, if you take out the legs, you take out the aerial offense of Sery.
Supreme takes Sery by the hair and throws him into the turnbuckle. Supreme starts to throw some forearms into Sery’s head then irish whips him into the opposite turnbuckle. Supreme runs at Sery and hits him with a giant splash and throws him into the middle of the ring and takes him to the ground by kicking his leg out from under him. Supreme positions Sery just right and then hops onto the second turn buckle and comes jumping off and hits an elbow right to the right leg of Sery. Supreme pops up with a nice grin on his face, knowing his plan is working. Supreme continues to stomp out the leg of Sery then grabs his leg and throws him into a leg lock, really applying the pressure on Sery’s leg, Sery starts to scream in agony.
Roberts: Supreme had a clear cut game plan. Take out his legs. Sery looks to be in a great deal of pain here.
Jeffrey: Sery’s screams are music to my ears.
Sery tries to reverse it but can’t get Supreme flipped over. After what seems like an eternity of not being able to break the hold Sery is forced to reach out to the ropes and grab them, using up his second rope break. Supreme breaks the hold and panders to the crowd who is booing him. Sery is noticeably grabbing at his right leg as Supreme show boats to the angry crowd. Supreme picks Sery up and then throws him into the ropes and Sery comes back and some how delivers a nice flying forearm that sends Supreme down to the ground. Sery bounces off the ropes when Supreme gets back to his feet and before he can do anything, Supreme takes him out by the right leg by basically tackling it. Sery crashes to the ground in pure agony.
Phoenix: Just when Sery looked to be getting something going. Supreme just took the wheels out from under Sery.
Jeffrey: If I were Sery here, I would just give up. Good job Supreme,. Playing it like a champ.
Supreme grabs the right leg of Sery and drags him into the middle of the ring then brings a hard elbow down on it with an elbow drop. Supreme repeats this a few times as Sery’s pain is evident with his shrieks of agony getting louder and louder. Supreme grabs that leg and flips Sery over onto his stomach and once again applies a single legged crab onto right leg of Sery. Sery starts squirming around and around. He is screaming like its the end. He realizes he is in the middle of the ring and starts to pull himself closer to the ropes. But Supreme feels this happening and takes a few steps forward dragging Sery to the middle of the ring again!
Roberts: Man this crowd is going wild and you can still hear those shrieks over the roar of the crowd.
Jeffrey: I think this match is about over.
Sery with one last ditch of effort crawls to the ropes. Inches his way to the ropes. After what seems like an eternity Sery finally reaches out and grabs the ropes. Using his last rope break. Supreme stands over Sery who is holding his right leg. Supreme waits around for a few moments, walking back and forth, watching Sery as Sery uses the ropes to get back to his feet. Supreme walks over to Sery and quickly kicks his legs out from under him once he gets to his feet and Sery goes crashing back to the ground. Supreme lets out a few laughs.
Jeffrey: You know Supreme is enjoying the hell out of this.
Roberts: I’m sure he is enjoying it.
Supreme grabs Sery by the hair and rips him off the mat to his feet. Sery all of a sudden gets a few open handed slaps to the face. Supreme kind of steps back and Sery tries to run into the ropes but his right legs give out and he goes crashing to the mat. Supreme wastes no time now before bringing him back to his feet and tries to his a suplex but Sery floats over to the back of Supreme and with all his might jumps into the air and takes Supreme down with a back stabber.
Roberts: Finally some life out of Sery. That must have taken it all out of him to do that.
Jeffrey: But he isn’t getting up! He can hardly walk!
Sery struggles using the ropes to get to his feet as Supreme gets to his feet with almost no problem. Supreme charges at Sery and Sery drops down and pulls down the top rope and Supreme goes flying over it to the outside of the ring. Sery uses all his might to get to his feet and sling shot himself over the top rope out onto Supreme taking him out.
Roberts: Supreme looks to be shocked!
Jeffrey: This is all in his plans, don’t worry.
Sery starts having the adrenaline flowing through his veins and gets to his feet. He takes Supreme and throws him into the ring post then uses all his muscle and might to suplex Supreme on the outside of the ring. The ref is at a 7 count already when Sery rolls back into the ring and the ref keeps counting. 8...9....10....11... but Supreme is on his feet and slides into the ring. Sery starts stomping him on the back but somehow Supreme is able to fight through it and get back to his feet. Supreme knees Sery in the gut then pulls Sery between his legs looking to go for a power bomb. He flips Sery up into the air but Sery floats over Supreme’s head. Supreme turns around and eats a Superkick and falls into the turnbuckle.
Sery moving quickly uses his momentum to get Supreme up to the top turnbuckle and starts to attempt a superplex. The first try Supreme blocks. Sery hits him in the ribs a few times and that seems to do the trick and Sery is able to use all his strength to bring Supreme crashing down to the mat with a suplex plex. Both men are down on the mat, but Sery is able to will himself to his feet and then climbs the turnbuckle. Sery doesn’t waste any time diving off of the top rope hitting a Seryous Senton Bomb!!! Sery covers Supreme and the ref starts to count.

Sery sits up utterly shocked that Supreme has kicked out of his finisher! Sery gets up and pulls Supreme to his feet once again hooks his head and tries running into the turnbuckle to try and hit a sliced bread #2 but Supreme throws him face first into the turnbuckle. Supreme approaches Sery but Sery kicks Supreme in the gut then hits the Sliced Bread #2. Sery drapes his arm over Supreme and waits for the ref count.

2..KICKOUT!
Sery sits up and almost falls over again in utter shock that Supreme has kicked out of yet another finisher! Sery pounds the mat but then ascends the turnbuckle once again and leaps off hitting the Seryous Senton Bomb for the second time and it connects and Sery musters up the strength to hook the leg of Supreme.

Roberts: We have a new Custom Cup Champion!!! His name is SERY!!!
Jeffrey: This can’t be real, this can’t be happening. This is the worst thing possible. There is no joking about this.
Roberts: Sery is now a two time 4CW Custom Cup Champion!!
Sery looks estatic as the ref gets into the ring and the ref hands Sery the belt and Sery can’t believe it. He holds it in the air as the ref holds Sery’s hands up. Sery steps up to the turn buckle then and shows the belt off to the world. All of a sudden Sery is ripping down from the turnbuckle. Sery is turned around and is face to face with Supreme. Sery gets ready to get defensive but Supreme over comes his anger and extends a hand to Sery. Sery takes in the crowd for a minute and ponders the decision. Ultimately Sery decides to accept the hand shake.
Jeffrey: See?! This is why Supreme is so awesome! He is showing respect and showmanship to Sery! I doubt Sery would be so gracious if the tables were turned!
Roberts: Well, I have to disagree with th--
Jeffrey: "Well, I have to disagree with..."
Roberts: Are you seriously mocking me right now?
Jeffrey: I mock all the idiots around here, it's kinda my gimmick.

Phoenix: That's right! Our next PPV comes to you live on Halloween, from Madison Square Garden! Gallows End 2017 will feature the return of the 13 Ghosts Gauntlet Match! And I am now receiving confirmation the 13 Ghost Gauntlet will be for the 4CW World Championship! Who will the champion be? Who will the other twelve ghosts be? I guess only time will tell! But tonight, it's all about REVIVAL! And coming up next, ladies and gentlemen, is our MAIN EVENT!!
The crowd is scanned once again by the floating camera. We are shown the ring and rampway, surrounded by steel chairs, ladders and tables for the main event.
Carson: The following contest is our main event of the evening! It is a TABLES, LADDERS AND CHAIRS MATCH for the 4CW World Heavyweight Championship!! The only way to win is to climb the ladder and unhook the 4CW World Championship!!
"Almost Honest" by Megadeth hits the PA system. Jon Viper comes out from the curtain, to a chorus of boos (and the odd sprinking of cheers from the adult male portion of the crowd). He motions for the belt around his waist and makes his way down to the ring.
Carson: Introducing first, the challenger, from Madison, Wisconsin, weighing in at 220lbs, JOOOON ... VIPER!!
Phoenix: Here comes Jon Viper! A veteran of the squared circle, he made a name for himself over a decade ago in 4CW. Tonight he makes his long-awaited return, a return he is confident will be triumphant! He wants to become 4CW World Champion and he's willing to go through hell to get it!
Viper stops and looks up at the ladders on the ramp as he makes the walk. Some fans hold out their hands for him to high five but he ignores them all, instead walking down to the ring with a mean-spirited focus on the match ahead. He rolls into the ring, looks around at the tables and ladders set up around the ring area and raises his arms on the hard-camera side of the ropes, much to the displeasure of the crowd. With Jon Viper in the ring, the crowd eagerly awaits the arrival of its champion.
They get audibly louder just in pure anticipation, until "The Burden" by Bury Tomorrow hits the PA and they erupt in a deafening roar. "The Bruiser" Rhys Cain steps out on to the huge stage with a Welsh flag draped around his shoulders. He raised his arms in the air with the cape, to a big roar from the crowd again, then he places the dragon-emblazoned flag onto the floor of the stage. The stage graphic starts to change until the dragon bursts from the flag and flies around the floor graphic, he then shoot into the air, and into the titantron, where he flies into the stars and releases a burst of flame! Two flame pillars erupt on either side of the stage and a fireworks display of red and green goes off above the titantron. Cain walks down the ramp with his title on his left shoulder. He looks up at the ladders as he passes.
Carson: And his opponent, now residing in Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 220lbs, he is the 4CW World Heavyweight Champion... "THE BRUISER" ... RHYS ... CAIN!!
Cain gets to the bottom of the ramp and stares down Viper. Viper stands in the ring patiently, meeting the stare, but not doing anything else.
Phoenix: These two haven't known each other long but things got personal fast! This match is not only Jon Viper's first 4CW match in at least a decade but it's also the first meeting between Cain and Viper. This really is a clash of two different generations of 4CW. Jon Viper is a former Fight Club champion and has a storied history in 4CW before his departure. Rhys Cain has been here since 2008, he became the longest reigning Custom Cup Champion of all time in 2010, he is currently in his second reign as 4CW World Champion and in 2014, he achieved his ultimate dream and was inducted into the 4CW Hall of Fame. Just five days ago, Cain surpassed [chux]'s combined days of champion at 352 days and he looks to extend that with a victory tonight!
Roberts: Some will argue that Jon Viper could have had a similar run, had he not left 4CW all those years ago - and maybe that's the reason he attacked Cain. Maybe he saw Cain as what Jon Viper could have been and it unleashed some fury within him, because upon his return to 4CW his immediate target was Rhys Cain!
Jeffrey: Neither of you two understand Viper like I do! He's not jealous or bitter of Rhys Cain's success! He went after Rhys Cain for one reason, and one reason only, and that reason is because Rhys Cain holds the most coveted championship in Professional Wrestling, the 4CW World Heavyweight Championship! You think Viper came back here to mess around? He came back to show everyone that even after ten years out, he's still the best damn wrestler to ever step foot in 4CW! Tonight, it's his ultimate challenge, the one night of his career where he can prove definitively, unreservedly, that he is the best wrestler in the world!
Rhys Cain enters the ring without breaking his glare at Viper. The referee takes the championship from Rhys Cain, raises it in the air and connects it to the lowered hook. When the belt is hooked, he signals up and the title is lifted into the air and held above the ring. The referee speaks to both competitors and calls for the bell! Ding, Ding, Ding!!
Cain and Viper begin to circle each other immediately, but maintaining distance. They close in slowly and Cain reaches out for a test of strength. Viper moves to meet him but then cheap shots him with a kick to the gut and locks Cain in a headlock. Cain struggles for a few moments as Viper wretches on the hold, until Cain elbows him in the gut and pushes Viper away and towards the ropes. Viper comes back and Cain goes for a clothesline, but Viper ducks, grabs Cain, and locks in a headlock again, this time bringing him down to a seated position. A boo echoes around the arena.
Phoenix: Well these fans didn't come here tonight to see headlocks and they are letting Viper know they are not happy!
Jeffrey: You seem to be under the impression Viper cares what these sheep want.
Phoenix: Well Rhys Cain certainly cares about them!
Jeffrey: Yeah, well, you know what they say about welsh people and sheep...
Still working on Cain with the headlock, Viper wretches the hold tighter. Cain uses a foot to stamp on the mat repeatedly, and the crowd soon get the message and start clapping along. Cain uses the support of the crowd to find the momentum to get back to a standing position and pushes Viper away again. Viper comes back from the ropes, ducks a clothesline, tries to lock Cain into yet another headlock, but Cain sees it coming, wriggles out and delivers a stiff right hand which sends Viper stumbling into the corner. Cain approaches Viper and shushes the crowd, before hitting a vicious knife edge chop! The crowd "oooh's" as Cain hits a second knife edge chop, and a third! Cain goes into a flurry of chops, hitting at least ten more in quick succession before allowing Viper to stumble out of the corner with a now red and blistered chest. Cain grabs Viper and attempts a suplex but Viper reverses and hits a snap suplex of his own. Viper picks up Cain and throws him out of the ring - but Cain grabs hold of the rope and hangs off the apron. He finds the apron with his feet and gets up but Viper runs at Cain with a big clothesline and Cain falls - STRAIGHT THROUGH A TABLE ON THE OUTSIDE!!
Phoenix: We're barely two minutes into this match and Cain has tasted splintered wood already!
Jeffrey: Viper needs to get out there and grab himself a ladder!
Almost as if Viper heard Jeffrey on commentary, he rolls out of the ring, walking past Cain on the broken remains of the table and grabs the nearest ladder. He folds it up and slides it into the ring before rolling back in himself. Viper places the ladder in the centre of the ring and sets it up. He is about to climb when he sees Cain stirring on the outside. Grinning, Viper drops down from the first rung of the ladder and rolls back to the outside. He picks up Cain and smashes his head onto the announce table.
Roberts: Viper and Cain are getting a little too close for comfort here!
Viper smashes Cain's head into the announce table a couple more times, before Cain elbows Viper in the gut and returns the favour with a few head bashings of his own. Cain grabs Viper and whips him into the steel steps! The steps seperate and Viper crashes hard! Cain picks up a steel chair, much to the enjoyment of the crowd, and smashes Viper across the back with it! Viper writhes, and isn't able to recover quick enough, so takes a second shot to the back! And a third! AND A FOURTH! Cain grabs two tables from under the ring, and slides them into the ring. He then grabs one and sets it up in the top left corner of the ring, against the turnbuckle. He comes back out, picks up Viper, and throws him back into the ring. Cain follows Viper inside but Viper is quick to the punch and clotheslines Cain to the mat. Cain gets back up but eats a body slam. Viper lifts Cain up for another move, but Cain starts to fight out of his grasp, and hits a Side Effect out of nowhere!
Phoenix: Side Effect from the champ!
Cain gets back up to his feet as Viper stirs. Cain climbs the turnbuckle and amps the crowd up with his signature taunt of looking out to his "sea of people" and then as Viper gets to his feet, Cain launches off with a Diving Dropkick! Cain hits his target and Viper flies backwards, crashing through the table set up in the corner. Cain grabs the ladder and places it in front of Viper and the table, and then hits another dropkick, smashing the ladder into Viper's face!
Roberts: Cain can unleash a dropkick as deadly as anyone!
Cain rolls to the outside and grabs a second ladder, bringing it back into the ring with him. Cain sets up the second ladder in the centre of the ring and starts to climb. Viper comes to and moves the ladder out of his face before stumbling to his feet and dropkicking Cain off the ladder! Viper picks up the ladder that was draped over him moments earlier, turns it vertically, and jabs the floored Cain in the gut with it. Viper hits Cain with the ladder a second time in the gut and then lays the ladder down over him, and balancing it on each side of the ropes from the corner, in a sort of triangle, to hold Cain in place a little. Viper then starts to climb the ladder. One rung, two, three, four...
Jeffrey: Viper is halfway up the ladder! Come on, Viper! Get there! Take that title!
Roberts: You're supposed to be impartial!
Jeffrey: So are you but you still kiss that midget Rhys Cain's ass at every opportunity, so do me a favour, and shut up!
Viper climbs the seventh rung as Cain starts to stir. He looks up at the belt, makes a judgement call about whether he will have enough time before Cain gets to his feet, then decides against it - AND JUMPS OFF THE LADDER WITH A SPLASH, right onto the other ladder and Cain underneath it!! Viper clutches his gut in agony as he rolls away from the destruction he just caused and both men are laid out on the mat!
Phoenix: What a brutal splash! How are these two not bleeding internally?!
Roberts: I wouldn't say for sure that they aren't!
Viper uses the ropes to help him back up to his feet and he picks up the second table that Cain brought in earlier and sets it up. He turns his attention back to Cain, keeping him down with some clubbing blows before dragging him out of the carnage of the ladder. Viper looks to maybe suplex Cain into the table, but Cain fights out of it with some stiff shots to Viper's gut, and Viper releases his grip. Cain grabs Viper and takes him out with a belly to belly suplex, crashing on the mat! Cain beats the mat with his fists, holding his gut too still feeling the effects of the splash from the ladder and gets to his feet slowly, making the steady climb up the set-up ladder. Cain gets five rungs up when Viper gets back up and starts to climb the ladder the same side as Cain. Both halfway up the ladder, they exchange blows, Viper losing due to the lower ground, Cain comes down one rung, hooks up Viper - AND LAUNCHES OFF WITH A SIDE EFFECT - THROUGH THE SET UP TABLE!!
Phoenix: These two men are tearing each other apart! Cain drives Viper through the table with a second Side Effect!!
Jeffrey: Come on, Viper! Fight the pain!
Both men struggle in the smashed remains of the table to get back to a standing position. Cain crawls away on his hands and knees, feeling the effects of the rough landing. He decides to roll out of the ring and flip the apron. Cain pulls out a steel chair, another two tables and, after pulling out a dustbin lid and shrugging, pulls that out too, and slides all of the weapoms into the ring.
Jeffrey: What the hell is this crazy nut planning now?!
Cain gets back into the ring. He one of the tables, sets it up - and then takes it over to the ropes, lifts it over and stacks it on top of a table already positioned on the side of the ring at the bottom of the ramp. The crowd pop loudly for the prospect of stacked tables and Cain grabs the steel chair and as Viper gets back up to his feet, Cain smashes him across the head with the chair! The sickening thud echoes around the arena and is met with a "oooooh" from the crowd. Cain rests against the ropes for a moment, the fatigue starting to catch up with him. He sees Viper struggle to his feet, now busted wide open, with blood dripping down on the mat.
Roberts: Viper is busted wide open! The danger in this match just went up a notch!
Jeffrey: That sadistic midget needs to be brought down a peg or two!
Cain sees the bloodied Viper get to his feet and for a moment there is an intense staredown. Cain then throws the steel chair at Viper, Viper catches it in his hands - but Cain runs at Viper - AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO VIPER WITH THE DRAGON RAGE BUSAIKU KNEE KICK! The steel chair smashes Viper in the face and he goes down and Cain lands on top of him!
Phoenix: Dragon Rage into the steel chair!!
Roberts: If this was a regular match, Cain would have gotten the pinfall, as he's been collapsed on top of Viper for at least ten seconds, but no such pinfall exists in this match!
Jeffrey: So don't bring up stupid remarks like that then, idiot! Viper is still in this! It's not over until that belt is grabbed from the top of the ladder!
The crowd chant "HOLY SHIT!" while the two warriors in the ring try to cling onto any remaining stamina they have left. Viper and Cain move slowly, almost crawling just to get around. Cain is on his feet first and picks up the remaining folded table. He sets it up - climbs up onto the bottom buckle - and with a little difficult, stacks it on top of the other two stacked tables! The crowd are now itching in anticipation as the stacked tables reach three.
Jeffrey: He's stacked three tables! I told you, the guy is nuts!
With the third table stacked, Cain attempts to get down from the buckle, but suddenly, the dustbin lid he brought in earlier is thrown through the air by Viper and it smashes Cain straight across the face! Viper pounces like a tiger, and joins Cain on the turnbuckle. They exchange blows and the wound from the dustbin lid shot starts to open on Cain's head, giving him an ever-growing crimson mask. The two exchange blows still until they are on the top rope and Viper nails Cain with a vicious elbow that seems to knock him for six. Viper leans Cain over on top of the third table and rests him there. Then, Viper looks around and sees the ladder is just a foot away. He jumps from the buckle to halfway up the ladder then climbs it all the way to the very top. He's not quite in range to reach the belt (since the ladder's position was adjusted in the previous carnage) but Viper has no intention of going for the belt!
Phoenix: I don't like the look of this!
Viper stands on top of the ladder, as high as he can possibly get and closes his eyes momentarily in preparation for whatever it is he plans to do. The crowd get louder and louder, screams of excitement or panic or adrenaline all mangled into one loud atmospheric noise. Viper looks up to the sky momentarily, AND THEN LAUNCHES HIMSELF HIGH INTO THE AIR - FLIPS INTO A SHOOTING STAR PRESS AND CRASHES INTO CAIN ON THE TOP TABLE!! Viper and Cain CRASH THROUGH the triple stacked tables to an ERUPTION of screams from the stunned crowd!! Splintered wood and metal and bodies and blood litter the ground on impact!!!
Phoenix: OH MY GOD!!
Jeffrey: VIPER YOU CRAZY MOTHERFU--
Roberts: THIS IS INSANE!! WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED?!?!
Phoenix: THEIR BODIES ARE BROKEN!! A SHOOTING STAR PRESS THROUGH THE TRIPLE-STACKED TABLES!! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!
"HOLY SHIT!!"
"HOLY SHIT!!"
"HOLY SHIT!!"
"HOLY SHIT!!"
The DEAFENING crowd almost drown out the commentators as they try and fathom what they have just seen! Neither Viper or Cain move, both men are DESTROYED!! Referees and EMTs rush down to ringside, but there's no much carnage! There's bits of wood and metal splayed all over both these two men, to the point where the EMT's have to literally pull both Cain and Viper out of the resulting fallout!
Phoenix: As much as I hate to say it, I think it's fair to say this match is over!! What we have now is the serious issue of two broken, seriously injured men!! They need medical attention now!!
Soon enough, two stretchers are brought down the ramp too. The EMT's and referees place Viper on the stretcher first - and try to strap him in - but VIPER UNLEASHES, sending wild fists to anyone who tries to hold him down. He screams, whether in exhaustion or agony or both is unclear, and somehow, someway, gets to all fours.
Roberts: How the hell is Viper even MOVING?!
Jeffrey: He's not done! He's damn well insane, but he's not done!!
Viper crawls over to the apron and pulls himself up slowly until his chin and one arm are resting on the apron. He somehow finds the strength to lift himself up and roll back into the ring. He stumbles to his knees, pushes the ladder slightly to the centre of the ring - AND BEGINS TO CLIMB!!
Phoenix: Can Viper do it?! Can Viper even find the willpower to climb that ladder all the way to the top?!
Viper gets up the third rung, and the fourth rung. His face is bloodied, his body is bruised and battered, but he makes it to the fifth rung. He stops for a moment, apparently simply too exhausted to go on for a moment. On the outside, Cain is shown grabbing the apron and dragging himself up, also bloody, also bruised and battered. Cain looks barely conscious, his eyes are almost rolling to the back of his head but he wipes the blood out of his eyes and rolls into the ring. Viper reaches the sixth rung. Cain crawls over to the ladder. Viper reaches the seventh rung!! Cain gets a hand to the steel foot of the ladder!! VIPER REACHES THE FINAL RUNG AND THE TOP OF THE LADDER! VIPER REACHES UP...
...AND PULLS DOWN THE 4CW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
Carson: Here is your winner... AND THE NEEEEEEEEW 4CW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION ... JOOOOOOON ... VIPER!!
The crowd are beside themselves at the craziness they just witnessed. They cheer, in an endless stream of noise, not for the new champion, whom they despise, but because of the vicious brutality these two men have allowed themselves to go through to fight for the most coveted prize in pro wrestling. Viper holds the belt close to his chest, keeled over the top of the ladder, unable to move. Cain collapses at the bottom of the ladder, his hardest efforts not enough to prevent him from losing the title. Exhaustion overtakes Cain and he simply falls face first into the mat as "Almost Honest" by Megadeth blasts through the arena.
Jeffrey: HE'S DONE IT! HE'S REALLY DONE IT! JON VIPER IS THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION!!
Phoenix: That match was nothing short of HELL!! We have seen destruction personified by these two men tonight!!
Roberts: I can't believe what we just saw! That was a WAR, an all out WAR!!
Viper slowly comes down a few rungs, then jumps the last few rungs of the ladder and collapses to the mat. After a few moments, he rolls out of the ring and stumbles up the ramp, clutching the title in hand, and falls to his knees. Doctors and EMT's surround him, but he pushes them all away. Still kneeling, he lifts the title in the air, blood and sweat and tears dripping down his face, but he is unable to do anything more, so he just sits kneeled on the ramp, with the title clutched in his bloody hands. The EMT's and referees enter the ring to check on Cain, who still hasn't moved.
Phoenix: Neither of these men will ever be the same again!! But the war is over, and JON VIPER is the new 4CW World Champion!! Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us on this historic night! Thank you for joining us, for this unforgettable moment! JON VIPER HAS REACHED THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN!!
The final scene shows Viper still kneeled, head bowed, title clutched, while pyro goes off all around the stage to celebrate his victory. The 4CW logo appears on the lower third and we fade to black.
