It's Luca and Eli face to face as the final two. The rookie, Eli James, and Black Circle member Luca Arzegotti.

Eli goes straight for Luca's leg, twists it, spins around, and drops back into a bridge. Eli has the Indian deathlock applied! Luca has no where to go.

Eli continues to hold his bridge. He's got a sick smile on his face and isn't gonna let go of Luca until he taps out. Luca is screaming in pain.

Madison is just looking down at Luca, speechless.

Luca puts his hand up; he's about to tap!

He's gonna tap!

He tap---

NO! Madison places his foot down over the arm of Luca! Luca looked like he was about to tap out but Madison is stepping on Luca's hand. He shakes his head "no" down at Luca.

Luca nods his head as if he understands what Madison wants him to do.

The words echo on the screen...

a TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Eli turns Luca over and has the submission hold locked in!

This is the second submission hold targeting Luca's knee.

Eli has it locked in nicely, with no where to go for Luca.

Luca is ready to tap.

He's got his hand up.

He tap--

No! John Madison reaches down and slaps Luca! He tells Luca again not to tap out.

Eli's frustration is shown with what is happening in the match.

uca balances himself...

He takes the leap and lands on Eli James with the Rise Out of Ashes, Motherfucker! (Phoenix Splash). He simply keeps his body covering Eli as Madison goes to make the count.

Jim Ross: "Luca wins! Luca wins!"

"Luca wins' echoes on a loop and the video keeps showing the issue between Eli, Luca, and John Madison. The television display the clips pauses..

"That night people saw that I was different. I came talkin' about the Almighty and no one believed me. There's a million spiders in the world, so why should this would be so different? The Black Circle had to rise up in numbers to fight me off from fighting for the crown... a number game Shane

has tried to deny!

A video clip of Eli James issuing a challenge to the entire Black Circle in a handicap match..

"I laid it out. Me against all the members of the Black Circle. Suicide? Hehe. Maybe. A sacrificial lamb? Shane didn't accept the challenge. He wrote back,

"Nice try, Eli, but when you do fall to The Black Circle it will be because you and your Congregation were simply outmatched. It will not be a result of a numbers game. The Black Circle doesn't play the numbers game. In fact, I'm almost tempted to challenge you and your entire Congregation to a handicap match... and I only have one eye!"

The Black Circle doesn't play the numbers game. Heh. Before I ever mentioned your name, Shane.. before I ever became a so-called thorn in your side.. your Black Circle boys played the number game on me. So that would make you a liar.. so is that what we need in this place? A liar? Empty promises? Hehe.

You can fool them. You can fool all of them. But I'm the one man you can't fool. I'm the one man that won't listen to your hallow words and flock to the empty promises you bestow upon this place.

This war was never about what you think it was about. It's not even about what everyone else is claiming its about.

The only way you're going to get rid of me Shane... is to battle me yourself. But we all know you won't do that. You enjoy sitting on the sidelines with your one good idea and sack of potatoes.. tryin' not to get your own hands dirty... but will that last? You want me gone, then you'll have to be the one.

Ya see.. contrary to what everyone else thinks.. I don't hate ya, man. I don't despise you. I want to save you. I don't want to let you wander in darkness and be damned.. I want to save you Shane! You don't have to die and disappear like Luca. Your fate can be different! Your life can be spared.

Don't let me down....
