RJ: You can’t help but think that whatever man wins here that they’ll be at a disadvantage entering at number 1.

Dave Law: You know how we don’t like talking about other organisations but look at WWE’s Royal Rumble , there have been men before, legends of wrestling who have entered at 1 and triumphed!

RJ: He’s got it locked in! Texas Hold’Em. River wants to buy into the Battle Royal!

Crime Lord screams in agony as River puts pressure on the leg that was just chop blocked and Crime Lord desperately tries to fight his way out of it.

Referee: Crime Lord, will you tap?!

CL: Never!

Match 5
6WF Title match
GWC vs TGA

GWC's music blares out and here he comes. He stops at the top of the ramp and makes the letters ‘GWC’ with his fingers to the camera before sprinting to the ring to a generous crowd reaction.

RJ: GWC has overcome the odds recently and tonight might be his night. It seems to me that TGA has been more focused on the battle royal than actually defending his title.

DL: Good Point RJ. TGA has been very arrogant of late. Lets not forget that it was GWC who brought TGA into the 6WF.
‘Hero’ plays and out comes the champ to a thunderous hostile reaction.

DL: I don’t think I have ever heard such a heat from a crowd – these 6wf fans sure don’t like the current 6WF champ.
TGA stands at the top of the ramp and lifts his belt as pyros go off either side. He slowly struts to the ring and climbs in. GWC lets the champ pose with his belt before going nose to nose.

The ref takes the belt, holds it up and calls for the bell.
TGA holds out his hand for a handshake. GWC thinks about it and looks to the crowd as to what he should do.

Crowd: Don’t do it!

GWC goes to shake hands but TGA slaps him at the last minute before turning around to milk the crowd. As he turns back to GWC, he is met with a clothesline.

DL: I don’t think the former champ appreciated that!

GWC delivers a few stomps to TGAs shoulder before rolling TGA on to his stomach and drilling his knee into the same shoulder. GWC then applies an armlock, once again putting pressure on the shoulder.

RJ: GWC is really working that shoulder. Maybe this is his game plan.

GWC lets the armlock go and lifts a shaken tga to his feet before delivering a shoulder breaker. TGA screams out as GWC lets him drop to the mat and climbs to the second rope. GWC executes a perfect knee drop to the same shoulder leaving TGA in agony.

DL: I have never seen GWC this intense before. I don’t know how long TGA can take this punishment.

GWC gets back to his feet and starts to lift TGA. He turns him around and goes to apply a version of the masterlock. At the last moment, TGA drops down and counters with a modified stunner.

RJ: desperation from the champ but quite simply…brilliant.

Both men are on the mat in pain and begin to get up at the same time. They begin to trade blows and as TGA tries to block them, it is visibly clear that his shoulder is in intense pain. Realising that he cant block for much longer, he bounces off the ropes and ducks under GWC clothesline and delivers a shoulder block.

DL: Our champ really is insane! His shoulder is already hurt and he’s just used it to knock down GWC. Instinct…pure instinct.

TGA gets up starts to kick GWC whilst he is on the floor.
Ref: Stop it or I will disqualify you.

GWC: Don’t you dare – I want my belt back.

GWC grabs TGAs feet as the rain of kicks carries on. He pulls the champ to the ground and they start to brawl. TGA gives a quick headbutt to get the advantage and goes for GWCs legs and applies a boston crab. GWC is in visible pain but somehow manages to crawl to the ropes. The ref breaks the hold before TGA drags GWC back to the centre of the ring and tries to apply the move again. As he is turning GWC into the crab, GWC turns TGA around and pushes him away to the ropes with his feet. As TGA bounces back, GWC spring somersaults him over onto his shoulder.

DL: It looks like the advantage has swung again but both men must be tired.

GWC gets up at the same time as TGA and throws him to the ropes. He goes for the dropkick but TGA hangs on to the ropes leaving GWC to fall to the mat. TGA bounces off the ropes and dropkicks a horizontal GWC in the head. He quickly spins on top of GWC to apply a crossface but due to the punishment to his shoulder earlier, TGA isn’t able to apply much pressure. GWC begins to power out of the move from the floor and soon both men are standing again. TGA still has GWCs head in a lock from behind and tries to turn it into a sleeper. GWC runs to the corner, sprints up the ropes and pushes backwards landing on TGA who still has the sleeper held in. Upon impact, TGA if forced to let the hold go. GWC is up first and lifts TGA once more. He throws him to the ropes and goes for the Welcome Mat…he hits it and covers TGA.

Ref: 1………

DL: we could have a new champ here….

Ref:….2………

RJ: hes done it!

Ref:…….3……….

The ref then notices TGA’s foot on the ropes. The ref orders GWC to continue the match who begins to argue with him. TGA slowly gets up and goes for the quick roll up…1…..2…..kick out. They both get up and begin to trade blows once more. Both men bounce off the ropes at the same time and fly at each other….double clothesline. Both men are down.
Ref…1……2…3….4….5…..6…..both begin to stir……7…..TGA is up…..8….GWC is up to. TGA throws GWC to the ropes and connects with a spinebuster. TGA starts signalling for the end, picks up GWC and goes for the Angel Bomb and hits it. TGA lifts both arms in celebration instead of the instant pin. He grimaces as he lifts one arm from the earlier abuse. He finally goes for the cover.1…..2…..

DL: This is it…centre of the ring….MY GOD! He kicked out. GWC really wants that belt back but I don’t know how much he has left.

TGA looks amazed and complains to the ref of a slow count. TGA goes back to GWCs legs and applies his trademark Boston crab. GWC screams in agony but refuses to tap.

TGA: C’mon…..finish it! I don’t want to hurt you anymore than I have to.
The ref checks GWC who refuses to submit. TGA leans back even further, putting his full weight into the hold. The ref checks GWC and asks him again but this time gets no response.

Ref: GWC? Do you want to submit?

GWC:……..

The ref calls for the bell as GWC can no longer continue and tells TGA to release the hold which he does instantly. He gets up and checks on GWC.

DL: He may have kept his belt but I don’t think anyone could argue at what a game display GWC put on tonight. Even TGA is showing his respect.

TGA holds his belt up high before putting it around his waist and leaving to loud boos.

RJ: These two are great friends outside the ring!

DL: But friendship means nothing now!

The Saint and JJ touch knuckles out of respect and all of a sudden lock up. The Saint forces JJ backwards before JJ forces The Saint back. JJ feigns an effort and gets round the back of The Saint and hits a German Suplex, just as the count down reaches zero and Hooligan enters the Scrap!

Hooligan checks on River and helps him up and together they storm the ring, both choosing to take on JJ.

They force the taller man into the corner before punching away at him. Together they force JJ into the ground and begin an assault, which is broken up by Acer who has just hit Hobo with a check up from the neck up.

Acer pulls Hooligan away and hits a couple of hard right hands. The Saint who has just recovered from the suplex by JJ sees Hooligan and charges into him whichin turn makes Hooligan clothesline Acer over the rope and out of the match!

RJ: Acer's gone, Acer's gone!

Acer is sat outside the ring struggling to come to terms with what has just happened and looks at The Saint.

The Saint and Hooligan begin trading lefts and rights as do River and JJ.

Out of nowehere Acer smashes the chair across The Saint's skull anf floors the man mountain. Acer gets out the ring and heads to the back just as the countdown finishes!

'Here comes the Money' plays and the last man, EZ Money senses an easy ride and runs down to the ring. He immediately grabs The Saint and attempts to chuyck him out but is seen off by JJ as they begin to trade blows in a scene reminiscent of last weeks show.

Hobo, who is now back up begins to scavenge upon The Saint and sees that he is groggily by the ropes, He goes to send Saint to the outside but the big man lifts Hobo over his head but Hobo manages to land on the otherside of the ropes He slides back in and sends The Saint over. Somehow his feet don't touch the ground and Hooligan has noted this, Hooligan goes for his deadly pount to the head buyt Saint telegraphs it and pulls down the ropes sending Hooligan out of the proceedings.

The Saint's reprieve is short lived though as River drop kicks the big man off the apron to the floor, eliminating him!

DL: We have 3 men left! JJ Johnson, EZ Money and Hobo!

All 3 men stare each other down deciding what to do!

EZ goes straight for Hobo but is cut off by JJ who flattens him with a shoulder tackle, Hobo gets involved stomping on both men before backing away.

RJ: Hobo will have an easier job if it stays like this!

EZ pokes JJ in the eye which makes him roll away and Hobo stes to work on EZ hitting a Soft Shoe Shuffle before setting up for a Hobo Cuddle.

As Hobo is about to hit the move JJ pushes both men towards the ropes and a mass struggle occurs with all 3 men trying to get the other 2 over.
