Mister Mystery
- vs -
Mark Flynn
Mark Flynn was already at ringside and snuck up behind Mister Mystery while he was going nuts! He rushes up and pushes him forward in a waist lock that actually ends up sending Mystery into the referee and crushing him in the corner. Flynn uses the "bounce" of the ref getting crushed to pull Mister Mystery back into a rolling german suplex leaving the fans in awe! Flynn sees that the referee is out and smiles wickedly as he pulls a pair of handcuffs out of his tights. He waits as Mystery gets to his feet and charges him, catching Mystery's arm in a wraparound DDT...
but by the time he DDTs Mystery to the canvas he has already locked one end of the cuffs on his wrist! Flynn quickly pulls Mystery's arm toward the corner and he locks the other handcuff on the middle turnbuckle.
Flynn then locks eyes with Shane
who has been at ringside observing the entire main event. Flynn seems unsure of Shane's take on this strategy but Shane simply smiles and holds out his hands to his sides...
: I don't like that piece of crap any more than you do!
That's all Flynn needed to hear...
Mark Flynn quickly goes to work on Mister Mystery who can't defend himself due to being handcuffed to the second turnbuckle. Flynn milks this moment for all its worth, hitting well times kicks to the head, ribs, and the handcuffed arm. He makes like he's going to strike Mystery in the face as Mystery is kneeling in the corner trying to pull his arm free and when Mystery puts his free hand up to block, Flynn goes low and strikes him in the groin as hard as he can!
Mystery moans in pain as Mark Flynn looks to make sure the ref is still down, which he is, and then he goes out of the ring to grab a steel chair. He enters the ring and just begins unloading on Mystery with it, swinging wildly and hitting him anywhere the chair will land as fast as he can. Flynn glances to the ref and sees he's still down and then starts jamming the end of the folded chair into Mystery's throat and stomach, then begins jabbing his extended handcuffed arm with the chair as hard as he can.
Flynn looks at the referee and sees him just barely starting to move. He looks at Shane who gives him a sarcastic look and laughs...
: Uh oh! Time's a wasting!
Shane taps his watch as he clearly is enjoying every moment of this but also enjoys mocking Flynn in the process.
Flynn backs up and runs at Mystery who is still kneeling, pulling on those cuffs, and Flynn cracking him in the chin with a running kick that looks to be delivered at about 100 MPH!
Mystery collapses awkwardly with his arm still outstretched toward the middle turnbuckle he's cuffed to. Mark Flynn climbs that very same corner and looks down at Mystery from high atop the turnbuckle...
HE JUMPS!!!
SNAP!!! He landed both feet into the handcuffed arm and BROKE the chain of the cuffs in the process! HOLY SHIT!!!
Mister Mystery is flopping around on the canvas like a fish out of water holding that arm as Flynn glances at the ref again, who still is face down and trying to regain his senses. Flynn knows that the ref will see the cuff still locked on Mystery's arm so he grabs the cuff and simply... pushes a button. They were trick cuffs all along! All Mystery had to do was push a button!
Flynn removes the one on Mystery's wrist and quickly collects the other cuff from the turnbuckle, stuffing the evidence back down into his own tights as the ref finally stands to his feet and shakes off the cobwebs. All the ref sees is Mark Flynn standing over Mister Mystery as Mystery clutches his left arm in pain and screams. The ref looks over at Shane
at ringside who simply shrugs and laughs.
Mark Flynn kicks Mystery's arm a few times for good measure as Mystery crawls toward the ropes to try and pull himself up with his good arm. Flynn watches as Mystery pulls himself up but as soon as he does, Flynn grabs the left arm and drives Mystery down face first into the canvas, straight into the THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR!
Flynn pulls back so hard on the arm that it looks ready to rip right from his shoulder!
Many of the fans scream in horror thinking the arm is literally going to pop out of Mystery's body as Flynn pulls it farther and farther back...
...farther back...
...farther still! (kind of like in this video:
)
Flynn: Break! BREAK!!!
Flynn has lost his mind! He's not even paying attention to anything around him!
Some of the fans start chanting BREAK!
It seems everyone is chanting BREAK!!!!
Even the referee! Because he's been telling Mark Flynn to break the hold for over 5 seconds now...
It's over! Mark never realized Mystery's foot was on the rope and the ref was telling HIM to break the hold, and NOT to break Mystery's arm! In Flynn's mind he and everyone around him, even the referee and fans, all wanted to see Mystery's arm BREAK!
DING DING DING!!!
Mark Flynn has been disqualified!
As soon as Flynn realizes what just happens he drops the arm and sits there in a euphoric state for a few moments. His eyes fall on Shane
at ringside who just shrugs and laughs at him.
: Oh well! Nice try... I'm sure the person after you will enjoy their win over that piece of crap. Now hurry up out of my ring so this Gauntlet can continue!
Flynn exits the ring feeling to make sure he still has the cuffs in his tights and then goes off into the crowd instead of heading to the back.
Mister Mystery has eliminated Mark Flynn.
Mister Mystery
- vs -
Angelus
Mister Mystery is down and feeling the full effects of all that's gone on tonight when Angelus slides into the ring! Angelus gets straight to work and hits Mystery with a Leg Drop and then pulls Mystery up to deliver a Belly To Belly Suplex. From there Anj begins stomping on Mystery and even takes to the ropes to deliver a Slingshot Somersault Senton. Finally Angelus covers for the pin and waits for the count.
The count that never comes!
It never starts because Mark Flynn has returned during all the brutality and has taken out the ref with that pair of handcuffs! What the fuck?!?! They may be broken but they're still good for smashing people in the head with!
Angelus is oblivious this even happened and when he finally rises to see why the ref hasn't started counting....
BAM!!!
Mark Flynn nails Angelus in the face with a close fisted slam with the added help of the handcuffs! Flynn repeatedly begins punching Anj in the face in a furious onslaught of rapid fire shots! Angelus' head rocks back and forth until he's finally busted WIDE OPEN! Oh my god!!! Angelus drops to the mat just as Mystery is wearily getting to his feet and Flynn nails Mystery with an Uppercut aided with the handcuffs! Mystery drops! Flynn begins stomping on both Mystery and Angelus while their down! The ref having been knocked down first by Flynn still hasn't recovered!
Shane
who has been watching this whole time finally steps up and makes his presence known to Mark.
Shane
: That's enough Flynn! You've done enough!
Flynn looks out at
and stomps on Angelus' head a couple more times.
Shane
: I said that's ENOUGH!
Security emerges and rushes the ring, Security climbs into the ring and begins escorting Flynn from the ring as Flynn laughs.
Mark Flynn: Hey guys did I ever tell you about my good ol' grand-pappy Josiah Flynn???
Security pushes Flynn down the ramp and into the back. Even the referee and Shane
are distracted with this task as...
OH MY GOD...
BLOOD LUST
The fans roar as those words appear on the X-TRON.
In the ring we are given none other than Unknown Soldier -- wearing spiked gauntlets on his forearms.
BASH! SMASH! BLAST! He lays into Angelus with those spiked gauntlets and blood goes flying everywhere.
Soldier: Say hello to the newest member of THE BLOOD LUST! There's a lot more where this came from, Angelus.
He sees that the referee and Shane
are heading back toward the ring so he exits as fast as possible, leaving Angelus a bloody mess.
What more is in store for Angelus now that he's been added as the third member of the Blood Lust???
The ref returns to the ring as Mystery and Angelus remain down. After many minutes pass....slowly there's movement from Anj and Mister Mystery.
They both struggle to their feet as Anj goes for The Whole Damn Show and Mystery goes to hit the Secret Spear 1 177155 400!
Oh shit! Mystery inadvertently catches Angelus right in the groin as Angelus' leg was high in the air! Ouch! Both men go down! Mystery lands on top Angelus! The ref makes the count!
...1
...2
...THREE!!!
Mister Mystery has eliminated Angelus.
We're now into the part of the night where some of the entrants are not yet known!
The fans rise in anticipation... who's going to be the next one out to the ring???
Mister Mystery
- vs -
"The Senator" John Samuels
John Samuels runs out from the back seeing that Mister Mystery is still down and in a lot of pain from everything he's just endured in the two matches prior. Samuels' eyes dart around the arena as he nears the ring, looking for any suspicious behavior or anything that might stop him from taking what he believes will be the easiest win of his career.
He slides into the ring and sets himself up a few feet away from Mystery who is barely moving on the canvas.
Samuels bounces off the ropes and then stops when he gets to Mystery's body. He places his hand over his heart and yells "U.S.A!"
He's going for THE BALLOT MEASURE!
He jumps up into the air to drop the knee to Mystery's head...
BUT MYSTERY MOVES!
John Samuels hits his knee hard on the canvas and rolls forward in pain, quickly struggling to get back to his feet as Mystery backs up several feet...
Mystery charges at him!
THE SECRET SPEAR 1 177155 400!!!
BUT JOHN THREW HIMSELF OUT OF THE PATH OF THE SPEAR AT THE LAST SECOND!
MYSTERY HITS THE RINGPOST SO HARD THE RING JERKS!
The fans can't believe what they're seeing! John Samuels wastes no time grabbing Mister Mystery and setting up... THE FILIBUSTER! (kneeling fisherman driver)
He keeps the leg hooked for the pin as the ref dives in...
...1

...THREE!!!!!! The fans roar in disbelief! The Senator has done it!!!

"The Senator" John Samuels
- vs -
Future Legend Jordi
The fans all get up and look toward the entrance as they anticipate the return of one of the XWF's most influential stars, ever!
John Samuels looks up at the X-TRON and sees all of Jordi's best clips and sees info for joining his online league... whatever that means. John shakes his head in disgust and lets out a sigh, motioning with his hand to hurry this along but nobody comes out...
SPLASH!!!
Gallons of blood fall onto John Samuels!
He slips in the blood and tries to wipe it from his eyes as UNKNOWN SOLDIER emerges from the crowd!
We should have known we wouldn't be lucky enough to have an official Future Legend Jordi return...
Unknown Soldier has been behind it all!
He slides into the ring and catches John Samuels with a running knee lift and begins smashing John's head into the puddles of blood. He headbutts the back of John's head a few times and then goes back to smashing his face into the blood before pulling John up...
John shoves him back and Soldier falls back against the ropes as John charges with a clothesline that sends both men to the outside!
John starts to get to his feet first but slips on some blood, allowing Soldier to get up first and knee him in the groin... twice.
Soldier mounts him and begins blasting him with forearms and headbutts, then goes back to smashing John's head down into the mat, finally headbutting him hard in the nose and causing a stream of blood to trickle out. Soldier rips Samuels up and launches him into the ring steps, knocking them loose as Samuels clips his knee on them and flies over them, landing on his head. Soldier rushes forward, springboards off of the base of the steps, and hits a shooting star press right onto Samuels.
Soldier pulls him up and rolls him into the ring. He slides in after him and goes for a cover...

...KICKOUT!!! Soldier loves it! The smile on his face while he licks his lips is priceless as he begins smashing John in the nose hard with his fists to cause more blood to spill out.
Soldier: This one's for you, DUKE!
What's he doing?? He's locking John into a variation of the Hell's Gate! And John is bleeding so profusely from his nose that the blood is falling directly...
INTO SOLDIER'S MOUTH!!!
Soldier is literally drinking this man's blood WHILE torturing him into submission! The fans are disgusted!
The ref has a hard time watching this but he has no choice because he has to check for the submission. Soldier keeps wagging his tongue and flicking it as John's blood pours from his nose like a faucet right on Soldier's face and into his mouth.
Soldier: Don't give up! Don't give up!!!
Samuels fights with all he's got, reaching out for anything he can grab but the ropes are too far on either side. Soldier begins gargling and wagging his tongue faster as John's blood bubbles up out of Soldier's throat and even splashes up into the ref's face!
The Senator starts to weaken and slowly but surely he fades...
The ref lifts his arm once...
...it falls.
He lifts his arm again...
...it falls.
Soldier keeps drinking the blood that's still falling into his mouth...
The ref lifts John's arm a third and final time! If it falls, he's out!
...
...
...and it falls!
Soldier: No! I wasn't done!
The ref forces Soldier to release the hold as Soldier gets up and throws Samuel out of the ring, disappointed that his drink had to end so quickly.
Unknown Soldier has eliminated John Samuels.
Unknown Soldier
- vs -
Peter Gilmour
Peter Gilmour makes his way to the ring and he exchanges a few words with Unknown Soldier, his fellow Trio Title holder.
Gilmour goes to shake Soldier's hand but Soldier thinks he's asking him to demonstrate that move he just did to John Samuels!
Soldier grabs Peter's hand and pulls him right into the Hell's Gate!
Soldier: See? It was like this except his face was gushing delicious blood for me to drink. Do you mind if I show you what I mean?
Soldier punches Peter in the nose repeatedly while holding him in place with his legs and other arm! He's busted him wide open!
Peter's blood begins to spill into Soldier's mouth as Soldier yells out "Aaaaahhhhhh" and shakes his head back and forth just taking it all in!
Peter inches toward the ropes and reaches his foot out... he gets the bottom rope! The ref breaks the hold as Unknown Soldier gets up and licks his lips. Gilmour wipes blood from his face and pulls himself up and charges Soldier, taking him down with a devastating clothesline. Peter drops an elbow across Soldier's chest and delivers a few stops as Soldier rolls toward the ropes and out of the ring. Soldier has a smile on his face as he reaches in and grabs Peter's ankles, pulling him out of the ring to join him and he whips him into the barricade. Soldier charges but Peter ducks and catches Soldier with a back body drop, sending Soldier flying high into the crowd and landing in the lap of a fat woman in the second row!
Peter gets back into the ring as Soldier bites the fat woman's giant breast and tries drinking from it! Security rushes over and separates him from the fat woman and ushers him back toward the ring. He gets into the ring and Peter hits a fallaway slam before going for a cover...
...1
...2
...KICKOUT! Soldier grabs Peter's head before Peter can stand back up and he tries drinking more of his blood! Peter pulls Soldier up from the canvas and powerbombs him down to get him to release his grip. Gilmour wipes more blood from his own face as Soldier kicks his left leg out from under him and gets up to hit a quick DDT that stuns Gilmour and leaves him dazed on his knees after his head bounces back up.
Soldier rushes to the top rope!
THE DARK STAR! (shooting star DDT)
He covers Gilmour...

...THREE!!!
Unknown Soldier has eliminated Peter Gilmour.
Who is going to be the next one out to face Soldier?
The fans all turn toward the X-TRON to see the next match up of names on the screen...
Unknown Soldier
- vs -
Sebastian Duke
Unknown Soldier and Sebastian Duke glare at each other, neither one going to make a move first. Then all at once they both surge forward and begin equally wailing on each other. Blow for blow they equally match each other. Till Duke decides to lift Soldier in the air and toss him. Soldier flies through the air majestically. Gracefully almost. Until he collides into the ref! The ref falls back and slams his head onto the ring post and is instantly stricken unconscious. Oh No! The ref is out!
Unknown Soldier jumps to his feet and runs towards Duke catching Duke with a Flying Clothesline. Duke stumbles back but otherwise is unaffected as Soldier charges for the ropes and uses them to bounce back at Duke to deliver a Top Rope Suicide Dive. Duke drops to the mat and Soldier grabs a tight hold of Duke's head as he delivers several headbutts. Duke lets out a roar in frustration and whips Soldier off. Soldier crashes into the ropes as Duke gets to his feet. Soldier runs for Duke and begins kicking and punching as Duke blocks the blows to the best of his ability. Finally Duke reaches out and Chokeslams, Unknown Soldier. Duke rips Soldier from the mat and tosses Soldier towards the ropes, Soldier bounces off them and right into The Soul Shot! Oh shit! Soldier is down! Duke covers for the pin! The ref is still out! Shane
appears and begins the count.

Wait...
Here comes Blackwater with a mic.
Blackwater: Shane! Get your ass out of that ring! You know you can't make the count! You aren't the ref and you are certainly not qualified to make that count! This is a much bigger event than Shove It Saturdays and there are lines you can't cross! If you don't cease and desist right now..... I'll be forced to take actions against you!
Shane rises to his feet and narrows his eye at Blackwater. An angry scowl crosses Shane's face as Shane exits the ring and walks right up to Blackwater.
: Just what exactly do you think you can do to me? You can't touch me!
Blackwater: Is that so? I can't?
Staff comes running from the back and separate Blackwater from Shane before blows begin to occur. Sebastian Duke annoyed that no one is counting rises to his feet and glares from the ring.
Sebastian Duke: Blackwater! Just let Shane count! The ref is knocked out cold and Shane wasn't doing anything wrong! Shane was simply filling in! Just let Shane count so I can claim my victory over this little fleabag!
Just then Soldier peels himself off the mat and rolls over behind Duke!
BAM!
Low Blow to Duke from Soldier!
Soldier rolls up Duke for the pin as the ref magically revives. The ref sees the pin and starts the count.

...THREE!!!
Unknown Soldier has eliminated Sebastian Duke.
Who will the next opponent be???
The fans wait in anticipation...
Unknown Soldier
- vs -
Michael Hall
Michael Hall rushes out toward the ring and tries to take advantage of the situation as Soldier is shouting obscenities down to Shane and Blackwater who are still arguing at ringside...
Sebastian Duke is also at ringside... AND HE KNOCKS OUT GENERAL MANAGER BLACKWATER WITH A BOOT TO THE HEAD!
Shane laughs as officials carry Blackwater to the back and escort Duke out of the arena.
: Looks like I get to do whatever I want for the rest of the evening. HA!
Shane retakes his seat at ringside as Michael Hall surprises Unknown Soldier with a rollup from behind!
...KICKOUT!
Soldier storms to his feet and dropkicks Michael Hall in the chest, sending him backward into the ropes and bouncing toward Soldier who, on the rebound, wraps Michael up in a small package pin out of nowhere!
The ref counts...
...1

...THREE!!! He got him! Michael Hall looks shocked! Soldier kicks him in the head and throws him out of the ring as he awaits the next opponent.
Unknown Soldier has eliminated Michael Hall.
Who will the next opponent be for Soldier???
Unknown Soldier
- vs -
Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy bursts out from the back running faster than we've seen anybody run to the ring yet tonight! He slides into the ring so hard that Soldier sidesteps his sliding body and shoves him to keep him going and Hardy slides right back out under the ropes on the opposite side of the ring!
Soldier can't help but laugh and clap for Hardy at that epic entrance/exit of the ring.
Jeff Hardy gets to his feet at ringside and quickly slides back into the ring. He runs up and kicks Soldier in the stomach and hits a TWIST OF FATE!
He pulls a small container out of his pocket and opens it, snorting some of its contents before closing it back up and ascending to the top rope with lighting quick agility.
SWANTON BOMB!
He rolls forward into a seated position after hitting the Swanton Bomb and rubs his nose a little before sneezing. The ref looks at him funny as Hardy crawls over to Soldier and makes the cover...
...1
...Soldier reaches into Hardy's pocket and pulls out the container of powdery white delight...
...2
Soldier snorts some of it and then eats the rest of it... container and all!
...KICKOUT!
Soldier storms to his feet... HE HITS HARDY WITH A TWIST OF FATE!
AND THEN ANOTHER!
Soldier runs to the ropes and hops, springboarding up and off of the middle rope with a Swanton Bomb of his own to Hardy!
Soldier: I stole his powers!
Soldier wipes some powder off his nose and coughs up some more powder before pinning Hardy...
...1
...2
...THREE!!!
Unknown Soldier has eliminated Jeff Hardy.
The fans rise and look to the entrance...
Who's the next opponent???
Suddenly a voice echoes out over the speakers as the silhouette of a man steps out...
Voice: Isn't this perfect? You know what the best part is about what you guys did to me earlier? Now... I don't even think I can FEEL pain anymore! Not even if I wanted to!
That voice... IT'S HIM!
Unknown Soldier
- vs -
John Madison
John Madison still has staples stuck in his forehead and his shirt is entirely soaked in his own blood from underneath. He makes his way toward the ring and pulls the staples out of his forehead, flicking them into the crowd on his way...
Soldier's eyes light up with hunger as blood starts to trickle down John's face from the wounds.
John Madison enters the ring as Soldier breathes heavily and salivates...
John exits the ring.
Madison: Maybe I changed my mind. Maybe I don't feel like wasting my time.
Soldier can't believe it! He rushes forward, leaps up onto the ropes in a single bound and flies at Madison with a suicide dive to the outside...
FLOP!! Madison runs out of the way just in time and Soldier's body bounces face down off the mat with a sickening thud.
Madison: That was hard. Go figure... I lured in and tricked Unknown Soldier. WHO WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING???
Shane laughs at ringside as John Madison kicks Soldier in the ear and then stomps his tail bone. He pulls him up and locks his arm around his head, running toward the steel steps with a sickening running bulldog that drives Soldier's forehead into the sharp corner of the top step!
Soldier is MASSIVELY bleeding from the head!
Madison: Looks like you get to quench your own thirst afterall. You're welcome!
...he says with a hard kick to the ribs, followed by a grinding of his heel into Soldier's face. He pulls him up and rolls him into the ring...
He walks around Soldier talking some random trash that we can't quite make out. He stomps him a few times and then pulls him up for THE REBELLION! (Rock Bottom)
...BUT SOLDIER HOPS OUT TO THE SIDE! He pulls Madison's arm... Short arm clothesline!
Soldier drops on top of Madison like a wild animal and delivers a flurry of strikes! Forearm smashes... headbutts.. bites to the face... closed fists...
He pulls Madison up and holds his head, kneeing him in the face repeatedly before dropping him with a neckbreaker!
Soldier drops down to one knee and holds his head as he's nearly passing out from the huge amount of blood he's losing from that gash as a result of the bulldog into the steps. He forces himself back up and starts to climbs the ropes...
MADISON PUSHES HIM OFF! Soldier goes flying face first into the barricade at ringside!
John Madison exits the ring and pulls Soldier up by his hair, rolling him onto the ring apron while pulling his head out toward him...
Diamond Cutter to Soldier bringing his body back down off the apron! UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT!
John Madison laughs and pulls Soldier up. He smacks his own chest where Soldier was slicing him up earlier in the evening.
Madison: See? It doesn't even hurt! Not that you'd know!
Madison takes Soldier's own head and starts making Soldier headbutt Madison's chest! Madison only laughs as a result!
Shane
is loving every second of it at ringside as Madison rolls Soldier into the ring again. He follows and very quickly pulls Soldier up... REBELLION!
He covers Soldier...
...1

Madison: AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
It looks like Soldier found a spot that can still feel pain! John Madison's ear!
He's biting down on it as hard as he can and pulling it back. Madison's ear stretches as much as a human appendage should be able to stretch as the fans look away in horror!
: Stop him, ref! He's going to take is whole damn ear off!
The referee begins to order Soldier to release Madison's ear from his teeth but Soldier just starts growling and shaking his head, trying to rip it off!
Soldier and Madison both slowly get to their feet and Soldier finally yanks back as hard as he can! It looks like a small chunk of Madison's ear may have come off in Soldier's mouth!!!
Soldier swallows whatever he got as Madison drops to his knees and holds his bleeding ear in pain, punching the canvas with his other hand.
Soldier uses this chance to bolt toward the corner and leap up to the top turnbuckle in one hop with the aid of grabbing the ropes.
He's going for it!!!
THE DARK STAR!!!!
Soldier flies through the air... shooting star backflip and all...
AND LANDS RIGHT IN MADISON'S CLUTCHES!!! THE REBELLION!!! MADISON NEARLY DROVE HIM STRAIGHT THROUGH THE FUCKING RING WITH THAT ONE!!!
He covers and hooks the leg as his ear bleeds all over Soldier's unconscious body...

John Madison has eliminated Unknown Soldier.
The fans are in shock as they now turn to the entrance...

John Madison

Luca Arzegotti
A smile creeps across Madison's face as his fellow Black Circle affiliate makes his way to the ring.
Madison: Lay on the canvas while I pin you. Let's not make this messier than it has to be, Luca!
Luca looks down and then looks back up at Madison. He grins and lays down...
John Madison nods his approval and goes to...
WAIT!
SMALL PACKAGE BY LUCA! LUCA'S GOT HIM!
...1
...2
...KICKOUT! Madison shoves Luca off of him and rises with a kick across Luca's chin that sends blood spurting out to the canvas. Luca comes back with a kick to the stomach and dips behind Madison to possibly lift him Omega Driver style into his own finisher but Madison slips out of it and kicks his leg backward into Luca's groin! Madison shoves Luca into the corner, lifts him to the top turnbuckle and delivers a superplex to the center of the ring.
John Madison stomps Luca a few times and pulls him up for the Rebellion... Luca smashes his elbow into John and reverses it into a samoan drop. Luca stalks Madison as he starts to rise and Luca gets behind him for the possible finish...
Madison mule kicks Luca! Nobody saw that coming!
He rushes to his feet and catches Luca in his grasp... THE REBELLION!!! He covers Luca...

Mr. Satellite
Mr. Satellite makes his way into the ring as John Madison talks some trash to him and pulls his own arm inside of his shirt to pretend he only has one arm just like Mr. Satellite!
Mr. Satellite doesn't seem amused as he charges and catches Madison with a dropkick that sends him spilling to the outside.
Madison: HAHA! I love it!
Madison wiggles around on the outside still with his arm inside of his shirt, pretending not to be able to get up.
Madison: How can I push myself back up? I only have one arm!
He rolls around laughing and mocking Mr. Satellite who decides to grab the top rope and launch himself over it, diving right down... AND MISSING!
Madison: I can't believe that trick worked on another idiot!
Madison gets up and takes his arm back out of his shirt to begin beating on Mr. Satellite relentlessly with both of his fists. He pulls him up and throws him into Shane
's lap. Shane smacks Mr. Satellite in the face and pushes him off of him, into John Madison who catches Satellite with a leg lariat. John Madison pulls Satellite up and whips him into the ring post. He follows up with a few well placed stomps and then rolls Satellite back into the ring...
He follows...
He goes for the Rebellion but on the side where Satellite doesn't have an arm, so he can't exactly sling the arm up and over properly... so he knees Satellite in the balls and spins around to his other side where he drapes the arm up and over... REBELLION!
He goes for the cover...
...1

...THREE!!! Madison gets up and puts his arm back inside his shirt and walks around like a gimp, laughing and spitting at Mr. Satellite as the fans boo.
John Madison has eliminated Mr. Satellite.

NAZI
John Madison smiles as he realizes he gets to tango with yet another of his Black Circle brethren. NAZI makes his way to the ring but doesn't look quite as pleased. John Madison holds both of his arms out like he wants to give NAZI a hug but NAZI isn't sure how to take this...
On one hand they ARE stablemates but on the other hand... it IS John Madison we're talking about.
NAZI backs up and pushes Madison back as Madison keeps trying to walk into NAZI with his arms outstretched to hug him.
Madison: Come on! Let's hug this out! There's no reason for us to...
CRACK! He kicks NAZI in the knee and hits a snap DDT!
Madison goes for the cover...
...1
...KICKOUT! NAZI rolls to safety as Madison drops an elbow but misses.
NAZI: What the fuck man?!
Madison holds his arms out again.
Madison: I'm sorry. Forgive me?
He walks forward to hug NAZI... boot to the midsection from NAZI! Madison hunches forward... THE IRON CROSS! (celtic cross) He dropped Madison hard on that one!
NAZI: If that's the way it's going to be...
Meanwhile at ringside Shane
is shouting his approval... cheering and throwing his fists into the air! He loves to see his boys go at it!
NAZI goes for the cover on Madison...
...1
...2
...KICKOUT!
Madison: It's no use NAZI! They made me invincible in the Trio match earlier. I can't be tamed!
John Madison wraps NAZI up into a crippler crossface before he could back away. Madison wrenches back on the head while keeping the arm locked in tight with that leg scissor.
Madison: Chris Benoit would be proud right now! Tap! TAP NAZI! Take that hand, stretch it forward to heil your people, and then slap it down onto the canvas rapidly! HEIL! HEIL!
Shane
at ringside is also screaming along...
: Heil! HEIL! HEIL!!!!!!
For some ungodly reason, Shane begins goose stepping around the ring and heiling. He's REALLY getting into this match!
NAZI reaches his hand forward...
Will he tap?
Madison: That's it! Do it!
But instead of tapping he pushes himself over and rolls, turning it into a pinning predicament on John Madison!
...1
...2
...KICKOUT! Both men scramble to their feet, Madison coming in with a kick to NAZI's leg again and NAZI with a blatant fist to the jaw of Madison. Madison falls back and stumbles into the corner as NAZI goes down to one knee. Madison explodes out of the corner but NAZI catches him with a huge spinebuster! He hops over Madison's body and stands at his head...
OH MY GOD...
HE HEILS!
He bounces off the ropes... THE FUHROR'S ELBOW!!!
NAZI: I'm not done yet!!!
The fans yell "what?"
NAZI: I said HEIL mother fuckers!
He climbs up to the top rope! He heils!
HE LEAPS!!! He keeps his heiling arm outstretched the entire way as he soars like an iron eagle through the skies, descending onto John Madison with...
THE HITLER HEADBUTT!!!!!!
He almost flew across the whole ring for that one! Madison's body bounces up from the impact and NAZI immediately goes for the cover...
...1
...2
...FOOT ON THE ROPE!
Madison: Heil!
Madison pokes NAZI in the eyes and shakes off the daze. He's dizzy but he puts up his hands and looks ready to defend himself as he stumbles forward and back...
Madison: Come on NAZI show me what you're made of!

: Fuck this! This bullshit needs to end!

: Yeah! Take that shit bitch!

...THREEEEEEE!!!!!!
Many of the fans start chanting "BULLSHIT...BULLSHIT" and throwing anything they can get their hands on. Some of them even start throwing the chairs they were sitting on!
John Madison rolls over and lays on his back looking relieved as a smile comes over his face. He allows the referee to raise his hand even though he doesn't get to his feet.
Shane
enters the ring with a microphone...
: Ladies and gentlemen... say hello to your new KING!
Some officials rush down to the ring with an item on a large red and gold pillow that has a purple cloth over it. They bring it in and hold it out as Shane
rips the cloth away to reveal a crown!
Shane
carefully takes the crown and hands it to John Madison as he begins to stand. John Madison doesn't say a word as he looks out to the fans in disgust.
For some reason... Shane
is kneeling down...
Is he worshiping his new king?
John Madison holds the crown high into the air over his own head...
...and begins to gently lower it...
...PLACING IT RIGHT ONTO SHANE
'S HEAD!!!
Shane grins as John Madison yells out!
Madison: I told you all exactly what I was going to do! All you pieces of shit fell for it! Hahaha!
Shane raises back to his feet and holds his arms high in the air as the officials hand him a scepter and place a cape onto his back for him. Madison is laughing his ass off at everybody who thought they'd see a legitimate crowning of a king here tonight. He's been saying since day 1 that if he wins, he's just going to place that crown right on Shane's head... and now he's done it!!!
Is Shane really our new king? Can John GIVE it away like that?
What will Blackwater, Witasick and Heyman all have to say about this turn of events? Will the Administrator Network get involved once again and take matters into their own hands?
It seems that Gauntlet City has only left us with even more questions than answers! Just the way John Madison and Shane
like it!
Madison: HEIL
!!!
Madison: HEIL
!!!
Madison: HEIL
