(The EFW opening then plays, after which the shot changes inside the EFW Arena. The camera pans over the audience, showing several signs dedicated to wrestlers. The camera pans down onto the two announcers, Jim Biggins and Buck Hammerstien)

JB : "Welcome to EFW Massacre, fans! I'm Jim Biggins, and alongside me as always is my broadcast partner Buck Hammerstien!"

BH : "...."

JB : "What's wrong, Buck?"

BH : "My life is a living hell."

JB : "Well, that'll do it. Anyway, fans, we've got a pretty loaded card for you tonight. Hannibal will be defending his title tonight against a surging Alexander Atlas."

BH : "I hope Atlas rips his head off."

JB : "Ah. We've also got the newly-formed team of Prototype and Abaddon wrestling for the tag team titles against their mutal enemy, the Sickos on Parade."

BH : "....."

JB : "Experience would seem to indicate an advantage for Sick & Sexy here, but S&S have often proven to be a one-man team when it comes to fighting physically larger opponents, which Abaddon and Prototype are. This one could go either way."

BH : "....."

JB : "While we only expected to have two, a scheduling flub has resulted in FOUR of our matches tonight continuing the Light Heavyweight title tournament that started last week...."

BH : "MY LIFE IS HELL! SOMEBODY SHOOT ME!! WAAAAAHHH!!!"

JB : "....... on EFW Mayhem. All of these men are coming off of wins, but something has to give. Also, with the scheduled Uncle Doobie/Death's Head match being bumped down to a recent house show, we're having 'Lucky' Chance O'Daire squaring off against 'The Professional' Reid Kalahan in our opener. Any comments before we get started, Buck?"

BH : "....."

"Lucky" Chance O'Daire vs "The Professional" Reid Kalahan

JB : "Without further ado, let's get right to the action!"

"Lucky" Chance O'Daire vs "The Professional" Reid Kalahan
Chance started out forcing Kalahan backwards with a few tests of strength, but Kalahan struck back with a headlock take down into a bow & arrow submission. Kalahan feinted a kick at his opponent which Chance caught, but then ate an enzigiri a moment later. Kalahan tried for another right away but missed, leading to Chance suplexing him to the outside. Kalahan rolled back in and sent Chance to the floor with a big jumping suplex, prompting Chance to come back in and slam him down. A knee drop to the face followed, and then Chance suplexed Kalahan to the outside again! Kalahan smiled as he came back in. He wiggled out of a backslide and dropped an elbow on Chance, but then missed a spear attempt and Chance locked up with him.. but then Kalahan lifted him and suplexed him back to the outside!! Chance re-entered the ring and slammed Kalahan down for a half boston crab. Kalahan kicked his way out, but missed another spear, prompting Chance to grab him in a headlock and drill him with some punches. Kalahan took two punches before he locked his hands around Chance's waist and back suplexed out of the headlock. Chance then hooked Kalahan up and tried to suplex him out again, but Kalahan blocked and reversed it, sending Chance hard to the mat. Kalahan was up quickly and hit a jumping high kick on Chance, knocking him into the ropes. Kalahan moved in for the attack, but Chance caught him in a headlock. He punched a couple of times, then hooked Kalahan's arm and suplexed him out of the ring! Kalahan didn't get up smiling at this, the one-upsmanship was getting to be a bit much. Chance swung with a punch, but Kalahan ducked it and hooked Chance for a GOLDWINNER! A moment later he executed, but instead of holding it for the pin, he rolled over with the hold still hooked and SLAMMED Chance over a second time with the manuver!! Chance's feet were in the ropes, but when Kalahan released the hold, Chance didn't get up. Referee Stu Lumpkin called the match off after Chance couldn't answer his count.	Back to back Goldwinners = KO
RESULT: Reid Kalahan d. Chance O'Daire at 7:12 via KO (Goldwinner CRITICAL!)

(Post-match, Kalahan offered the woozy Chance a handshake, but recieved a hug instead. The camera pans down to ringside, where an attractive young redhead is sitting next to JB at the announce table)

JB: "Fans, head EFW referee Stu Lumpkin does a great job for our company. No one in the office would say a bad thing about how he conducts himself in the ring, but he recently went to management and refused to referee any more Light Heavyweight matches. He feels at his age he is too immobile and is unable to keep up with the action as well as he should. While Vermin and Red Dog tried to convince him otherwise, he was resolute. So, let me introduce you to Jenna McGinty, personally hired by Stu, to take over as head official for LH matches. Welcome aboard, Jenna!"

Jenna: "Thanks, Jim, it's great to be here.

JB : "Good luck in your official debut, it's going to be a good one!"

Jenna : "Thanks!"

(As Jenna rises and heads to the ring, "Here" unexpectedly hits the airwaves, harelding the entrance of Jack Dod! Jack makes his way to the ringside, a chair in his hand. Mercury and Shinozaki watch him carefully, but then he unfolds the chair and sits down next to Jim and Buck)

JB : "What are you doing out here, Dod?"

JD : (as he puts on a headset) "Have you seen what's in the ring? I'm here for the good of the company! -Nay, the good of the nation and it's television watching people!"

BH : "Yeah, sure. Just make sure you keep that chair under your ass."

JD : "I resent that implication. Hey, is that Hannibal?"

(Buck hits the floor without even checking to see if it is or not. JD laughs at him)

Light Heavyweight Title Tournament, Round 2 "Hot Rod" David Mercury vs Spiro Shinozaki
Shinozaki reached out and offered Mercury a handshake at the start of this one. When Mercury reached out to take it, Shinozaki quickly poked him in the eyes. Jack Dod laughed, but the crowd booed as Shinozaki waved at them, celebrating, but when he turned back to Mercury he was kicked hard several times. Mercury forced him back into the corner, but Shinozaki came out with a punch and then a SCREW HIGH KICK that knocked Mercury back to center ring! Shinozaki then turned to the buckles and backflipped off of them while Mercury was holding his jaw on the mat, drawing a chorus of boos from the crowd. Mercury caught him with a tiger spin, but Shinozaki didn't stay down long. He reversed an irish whip, but then Mercury leaped and caught him with a jumping clothesline on the return! Mercury followed with a senton, but Shinozaki cut him off by going back to the eyes and then using a series of knees to the jaw. Shinozaki followed with a short arm scissors, then gave Mercury several stinging chops across the chest. Shinozaki shoulder blocked Mercury to the canvas, then went back to the arm scissors for more damage to the elbow. A low dropkick followed and a flashing-style elbow drop to the back of Mercury's head brought more boos from the audience. Mercury attempted to fight out with a forearm shiver, but Shinozaki caught him and chopped him to the canvas repeatedly, dragging him back to his feet after each one.	Punishing chops
Shinozaki followed with a dizzying airplane spin into a backbreaker, then a running double foot stomp. Another screw high kick followed, sending Mercury down hard. Another series of chops came next, followed by Shinozaki grabbing Mercury by the legs and spinning him around with the giant swing! Mercury finally reversed an irish whip and took Shinozaki down with a satellite head scissors, but Shinozaki gave him two low dropkicks to put him back on the mat. Mercury refused to die, though, coming back with a pair of middle kicks and a back jumping spin kick to put Shinozaki on the mat for the first time in a while! Mercury grabbed the headlock for another tiger spin, but Shinozaki back suplexed him over to the mat. Another airplane spin backbreaker came next, but Mercury wouldn't give up, firing back with another pair of kicks. Shinozaki shoved Mercury down to the canvas, then cartwheeled around the ring tauting him!	Bring it!
Sprio slammed Mercury across the ring with a roundhouse kick combination, then grabbed him into a jumping cricific arm bar! Mercury locked his hands to partially counter the hold, and Shinozaki released it. Shinozaki jumped up for the move once again immediately after, but Mercury kept his balance, sat Shinozaki back on his feet and reversed the move into an ipponzei shoulder throw! Mercury then quickly jumped and tried to hit The Shockwave, but he missed when Shinozaki ducked. A cover from Shinozaki got a near fall! Shinozaki knew he had the match well in hand and stopped to laugh and wave at the people, who booed him. Shinozaki whipped Mercury to the ropes and caught him with a hurracanrana, but referee Jenna McGinty counted only a near fall! Shinozaki couldn't believe it, and he was starting to wonder what it'd take to put Mercury away. Maybe that feeling is what Mercury was waiting for, because he quickly grabbed Shinozaki in a front facelock and dragged him to the corner. After slamming his head into the buckle, Mercury lifted him and sat him on the top turnbuckle. Mercury then jumped from the bottom turnbuckle and gave Shinozaki a top rope frankenstiener!! Mercury immiedately rolled to the outside, and when Shinozaki stood up, caught him right between the sholderblades with a springboard missle dropkick! Jack Dod waved it off as amaturish when questioned by JB.	Mercury surges back
Mercury followed with a jumping DDT, then went to the apron again for another springboard missle dropkick, this one impacting Shinozaki right in the face! Shinozaki struck back with another roundhouse combination and stopped to try to clear his head. Then, he ran towards and climbed the turnbuckles. When Mercury made it to his feet, Shinozaki came flying off with a flying forearm right to the back of his head! Shinozaki then caught a Mercury kick and gave him a dragon screw legwhip, but was too tired to follow up. Mercury pulled himself up on the turnbuckles. Shinozaki backed into center ring and ran straight at Mercury. He jumped up for a dropkick, but in a classic Psychosis moment, Mercury moved at the last second causing Shinozaki to high-speed powerbomb himself in the corner!! Mercury then led the arena in applause at Shinozaki's incredible show of dexterity. The entire arena erupted in laughter.	YOU F'D UP!
Shinozaki didn't like that. He got up and chopped at Mercury furiously, then mounted the turnbuckle and came off with a missle dropkick of his own that sent Mercury rolling to the floor. Sprio didn't go out after Mercury, but tried to intercept him when he returned. Mercury ducked down and rammed a shoulder into Shinozaki's gut, then leaped over the top rope and connected with a SHOCKWAVE!! The impact knocked Shinozaki into the buckles. When he came wobbling back out, Mercury leapt up and gave him ANOTHER SHOCKWAVE!! With Shinozaki down, Mercury ran for the corner, and came off with a tumbling senton splash!	Total destruction
When they reached their feet, both men were near spent. A blinding series of kicks was thrown by both men, none connecting, until Mercury scooped Shinozaki up and tied him to the tree of woe. Then, he back jumping spin kicked him right in the GROIN! Every male in the arena groaned on seeing it. Mercury then leapt up to the top and came off with THE STARSCREAMER across Shinozaki's back!! Neither man had anything left at this point. Somehow, Shinozaki was up first. He tried to pull Mercury up, but Mercury suprised him and rolled him into an inside cradle!! The referee was all over the count: 1----2-----3!! The surpised Shinozaki couldn't get out in time, Mercury had come back and won!	Suprise win!
RESULT: David Mercury d. Spiro Shinozaki at 17:09 via pinfall (Inside Cradle)

(Jack Dod then jumps up from his position at the announce desk, where he'd been tounge lashing both men all night. With Mercury leaning with his back against the ropes, Spiro stood up and got in his face. With Mercury distracted by Spiro, Dod slammed the chair he was sitting in over Mercury's head! JD then made his retreat from the ring, but Spiro got in a shot of his own, spin kicking the stunned Mercury to the canvas. EFW security began to flood the ringside area, so both men made their exits to the boos of the audience. Jack Dod backed down the isleway, arms raised high, and didn't see the form of Kyle Magnum coming through the curtain behind him. His back slammed into Magnum's chest and he stopped. His arms slowly drop, then he tilts his head up to see Magnum looking down at him with bloodlust in his eyes. JD then quickly stomped Magnum's foot and jumped the guardrail, getting the hell out of Dodge before Magnum could react)

JB : "That Jack Dod has got a judgement day coming up for him, Buck. He'd better count his days, because once Magnum gets him in the cage, it could be all over for him!"

BH : "Yeah, wrestling is the last thing he needs to worry about. He needs to make sure his affairs are in order."

Light Heavyweight Title Tournament, Round 2 "The Siberian Sadist" Alexi Markoff vs Manuel Guzman
Markoff started out strong with a knee strike combination, then dodging a dropkick from Guzman and locking on a side knee hold. Markoff ducked a high cross body attempt, then forced Guzman down and double-arm suplexed him over. Guzman fought back with cyclone whips and a drop toe hold. Guzman rammed Markoff's head into the turnbuckle, gave him a quick and loud chop, then tripped him to the canvas and stomped him in the face. A knee stamp to Markoff's calf followed, then a pair of middle kicks and a swinging neckbreaker. Markoff tried to thumb Guzman in the eye to break his momentum, but only met with another neckbreaker and a beautiful spinning dropkick! Markoff began to fight back after that, intercepting the charging Guzman with a european uppercut and suplexing him over. Markoff struck hard with a roundhouse kick, but Guzman fired back with a jumping back spin kick than landed right on the mark. Another suplex from Markoff sent Guzman to the floor, and when he came back, Markoff blasted him with a roundhouse that knocked him off his feet!	Roundhouse
Markoff followed with a short arm scissors, and then wrapped Guzman up in the KGB Special! Luckily, Guzman's left foot was on the bottom rope and the hold was broken up. Despite the choke hold, Guzman fired back with another swinging neckbreaker and a pair of back drop suplexes. Guzman then ran in with a high cross body attack on the stunned Markoff, earning a two count! Markoff then struck with his submission attack, tackling Guzman to the ground and locking on a cross armbreaker. Guzman fought out, then ducked behind Markoff and slammed him over with the GUZMAN WHIP!!	Guzman Whip!
Markoff was definitely hurting after that one. Guzman kept the pressure on with a face crusher, but Markoff jumped backwards to counter a back suplex attempt and locked THE HAMMER on Guzman, wrenching his ankle out of joint! Guzman got up limping, but he was just trying to draw Markoff in. It worked, and Guzman jumped and caught him with a wheel kick right in the face! Guzman went to the apron and caught Markoff with a springboard cross body, crushing him to the canvas! Guzman used another face crusher, and then measured Markoff, and caught him with another cross body when he stood up, scoring a near fall!! But just when Guzman was ready to put Markoff away, the Russian grabbed him around the head and rolled backwards, locking him in the KGB SPECIAL!! Guzman desperately fought to get out, but Markoff had the hold on good and the ropes were no where near. Guzman used both of his hands to force Markoff's arm off of his neck, finally breaking the hold, but the damage had been done. Guzman was having trouble breathing and Markoff didn't let up for a moment. Grabbing both of Guzman's arms from behind, Markoff wrapped them up and then german suplexed him over. Guzman couldn't kick out before the three. Alexi Markoff barely pulls out the win and advances.	Cross-Arm German
RESULT: Alexi Markoff d. Manual Guzman at 11:00 via pinfall (Cross Arm German Suplex)

(Before the next match, a freeze-frame picture of an old man with a huge gray afro is shown on the big screen. He has his mouth in a big, open smile. He looks like an insane version of Rip Taylor. A squeaky voice comes over the PA)

Voice : "Have you seen this man? He's been traveling all over the world, seeking out the best wrestlers alive. He's coming to Extreme Firepro Wrestling as a manager.. the manager of champions."

(Just then, the old man himself pops through the mouth of the picture, ripping through it. He's holding a cane and has a top hat on)

Man on Screen : "It's ME!!"

(Some confetti explodes upwards near the entryway and the old man comes out, wearing a purple and orange tuxedo. He has his cane in one hand and a top hat in the other. He throws confetti all over the ringside fans, who just stand stunned and have no clue what to say or do)

JB : "I guess my biggest question here is.. where does Vermin find these guys?"

BH : "...."

(The old man rolls in the ring and throws confetti everywhere. He grabs a mic from the attendant on the floor)

Man : "That's right, folks! It's me, J.P. Woody Handcock, I'm the manager of champions! I've come to EFW to manage the best and to win championships! There is a lot of free agent talent back there in the locker room that needs guidence. They need the guidence I can give them. I've already signed two very HUGE clients! Let's introduce them now!"

('A Touch of Gray' brings out Uncle Doobie. Behind him comes a short, skinny blonde guy who is jumping around like an idiot)

JB : "UNCLE DOOBIE is this crackpot's 'huge client'? Who's that other guy?"

BH : ".... I think that's Twixxx!"

JB : "Twixxx? You mean that white rapper who named himself after candy? The one everybody hates?"

BH : "I'm pretty sure it is!"

(The two reach the ring and JP welcomes them in)

JP : "Ha ha, come on in, fellas! Yes, that's right, I've signed Uncle Doobie to a contract, and this here is TWIXXX! Multi-platinum recording artist, and he's our celebrity spokesman!"

(Twixxx takes the mic)

Twixxx : "Ohh yeah, mo' fuckas! We gon' mix some sheet up nah! Hit my music!..."

(Twixxx gets ready to start rapping, but Vermin comes through the entrance waving his hands)

Vermin : "No, no, no, hold it... no rapping by your lame ass on one of my shows. JP, I agreed to let you come in and manage here, but I never said you could bring this talentless idiot with you to ruin my shows with his attempts at making music."

JP : "Well that's TOO BAD, because he signed his contract this morning! Ha!"

Vermin : "Did he READ his contract?"

JP : "Er.. well, no, actually..."

Vermin : "Good. Because I'm not as stupid as you are. When I saw the request for another manager's contract for you came in through Buck's office, I knew something was messed up. So I sent you a different contract. You requested one to have Twixxx as a manager, but instead, you got a lifetime wrestling contract. And you say he signed it?"

JP : "Um, well, er..."

Vermin : "Even better. He stars on house shows this week. See you in the ring, Wally."

(As Vermin tucks the mic and walks back through the entryway, JP and his men look downtrodden in the ring)

Light Heavyweight Title Tournament, Round 2 Rio vs Sanosuke Imori
Right at the outset, Imori countered a kick into a side knee hold! Rio was quickly out and came back with a scissor kick to knock Imori down and a boston crab. A waterwheel drop and a dragon screw came next from Rio, but Imori fired back with a fireman's carry takedown. Rio was up quick with a pair cyclone whips and another waterwheel drop. Imori then fired back with a cyclone whip of his own and a running satellite head scissors! Rio was throwing a lot of high kicks, but none connected, as Imori hip threw him to the mat and applied a crossface chickenwing. Imori followed with a tiger spin and a drop toe hold, then reversed an irish whip and send Rio hard into the corner. Imori brought him back out with a side suplex. Rio feinted a kick and landed an enzigiri, then hit the ropes and squashed Imori to the mat with a running senton! Imori came right back with a double underhook front suplex. Rio escaped his grasp momentarily to hit a good kick to the back, but then Imori caught him and slammed him down with a uranage suplex!	Uranage!
Imori kept the beating going with a senton of his own, and then another uranage. Then he went out to the apron, and when Rio stood, used the top rope to springboard into the ring and dropkick him in the back! Rio was struggling, but then he threw a high axe kick that BARELY missed it's mark. That threw Imori off. Rio whipped him across, then caught him with a flying cross chop on the return. Rio then slammed his head into the top turnbuckle and hit another enzigiri. A magistral cradle followed, but only scored a two count. With both men in center ring, Imori then hooked Rio up and slammed him over with a fisherman's suplex and scored a near fall!!	A "perfect" 'plex
Rio knew he was in trouble. He threw the axe kick again and Imori ducked it, but it was enough for Rio to throw him to the ropes and connect with a flying clothesline! Rio then hooked Imori as if for some kind of pin, but then turned it into an Oklahoma Roll! Round and round they went, and when they finally stopped, Rio scored a two count with the pin. Imori got up dizzy from the roll, and Rio took advantage, finally nailing the axe kick he'd been looking for all match! Rio followed this by jumping to the top and flying off with the GRANDE SPLASH! The pin scored another two count.	Grande Splash!
Imori pushed Rio into the ropes and caught him with a nice front suplex on the return, then used a jackknife hold right after to score another near fall! But Rio wouldn't give up the advantage. He slammed Imori into the corner, then slapped him and gave him a swinging DDT!! Rio then kicked at Imori, but Imori caught the leg and dropped back to the side knee hold once again! Imori pulled hard at the hold but couldn't get Rio to give. Imori measured Rio and hit him with a nice spin-once dropkick. Rio countered a back grapple attempt by kangaroo kicking out, then turned and gave Imori another axe kick, this one right to the back of the skull! Rio pulled Imori up and tried to send him to the ropes, but Imori stopped, pulled Rio to him and threw him with an EXPLODER!!	EXPLODAH!
Imori then locked on a back roll neck lock, but the roll ended them in the ropes and referee Jenna McGinty broke the hold. With both men up, Imori hooked Rio for another fisherman's suplex, but Rio blocked the move twice. Rio then reversed the hold and gave Imori a fisherman's buster instead!! Rio then hooked Imori up into another Oklahoma Roll, but this one ended in the ropes and the pin broken up. Both men were nearly out. Imori decked Rio hard to the mat with a very unscientific punch, but Rio kangaroo kicked out of his next move. Imori then countered a back grapple with a drop toe hold. Imori jumped up for a drop kick, but Rio somehow jumped OVER the attempt, leapfrogging it. He hit the opposite ropes, and when Imori stood up and turned around, he ate a flying cross chop!! Rio then executed a flat-footed standing moonsault!! Jenna was right on top of the cover: 1-----2-----3!! Rio advances in an excellent match!	Standing Moonsault!
RESULT: Rio d. Sanosuke Imori at 13:40 via pinfall (Standing Moonsault)

Light Heavyweight Title Tournament, Round 2 Anarchy vs Shuji Yagami
The opening seconds of this match were marked by strikes being ducked and dodged, until Yagami hit Anarchy with a DDT. Anarchy took him down a moment later and latched on a high angle boston crab, beginning his submission attack. But then Yagami caught a kick and turned it into a side knee hold! Yagami then slammed Anarchy from the ring. When Anarchy came back in, he scissor kicked Yagami down and locked in a reverse knee hold, then did the same again when Yagami escaped it. A third scissor kick was followed by Anarchy crawling up Yagami's back and taking him over with a victor crucifix arm bar! Yagami finally managed to get out of the corner he was in with a quick enzigiri and a cyclone whip, but Anarchy responded with a snap suplex. Yagami slammed Anarchy down twice and used tiger leg spins to damage his knee. Anarchy then walked right into another counter side knee hold by Yagami! Yagami followed with a front suplex, a waterwheel drop and then a crucifix arm bar of his own. Another waterwheel drop led to another tiger leg spin, Yagami going after the right knee hard. Anarchy grabbed Yagami's arm and snapped the elbow down over his shoulder, but after a brief struggle, it was Anarchy who ended up on the mat in an arm bar! He fought out, but Yagami slammed him into the corner. He then backed up and came flying in with a spin-once dropkick that crushed Anarchy against the turnbuckles!	Drop kick!
Yagami then picked Anarchy up from behind, but Anarchy grabbed his arm and dropped him into the Trash Talker! Luckily for Yagami they were still near the ropes and he was able to escape the hold. Yagami managed to lift Anarchy and powerbomb him down with a Pyramid Driver seconds later, but they were still too close to the ropes. Anarchy reversed an irish whip and sent Yagami across, then missed a wild lariat. But when Yagami came up from the duck, Anarchy grabbed his arm and bulldogged his shoulder into the canvas! Yagami slipped around behind Anarchy and took him over with a german suplex, scoring a near fall! Anarchy once again fell into the trap of the counter side knee hold after that, and was taking serious damage to his right knee. He managed another snap suplex, the took a moment to shake out his leg. He applied the Trash Talker again on the downed Yagami, inflicting more damage to his right shoulder/elbow. Yagami fought Anarchy into the corner, then sat him on top. He climbed up to continue the attack, but Anarchy punched him in the stomach several times, then grabbed him and swinging DDT'd him all the way down to the canvas!!	Excellent Counter!
Both men were down following this. Anarchy was up first, and he grabbed Yagami from behind. Yagami reversed it into a leg roll clutch, but only scored a two. Yagami roundhouse kicked Anarchy, then slammed him back into the corner. He backed up and went for the drop kick again, but Anarchy moved at the last second, causing Yagami to land on his head! Then, without wasting a second, Anarchy pulled him up and crushed him with a release dragon suplex!!	ANOTHER Counter!
Anarchy followed this with a northern lights suplex and scored a near fall, but Yagami escaped the hold by grabbed Anarchy's arm, scissoring it and locking him in a crucifix arm bar!! Anarchy rolled over onto Yagami to ease the pressure, but then used his free arm to help turn the crucifix arm bar into the Trash Talker!! The crowd was really getting a mat wrestling clinic from these two. Yagami would not give despite not being able to break the hold, so Anarchy tossed him out to the floor. Then, after giving the high sign, he climbed to the top turnbuckle. When Yagami made it to his feet, Anarchy came off with a beautiful flying hurracanrana to the floor!!!
Anarchy slammed the woozy Yagami down, then locked on the Trash Talker again on the outside. Yagami escaped to the ring, but was met by a running Anarchy who caught him with a hurracanrana!! Even though it was right near center ring, Yagami still escaped with a near fall! Yagami was somehow up first. He raised his hands to the crowd, who cheered him on. Then he hit three consecutive tiger leg spins, trying to rip Anarchy's knee out of joint, and then planted him with MICHINOKU DRIVER II, hooking the damaged leg!! It should've been over right there, but somehow Anarchy kicked out at 2.9!!	Yet another great combo
Anarchy didn't seem to know where he was at this point. But he knew enough to grab Yagami's arm when they locked up and drop to the Trash Talker... but Yagami saw it coming! Instead of letting Anarchy get the hold on, when the two started for the mat Yagami put a half nelson on Anarchy with his other hand. His momentum interrupted, Anarchy lost his grip on Yagami's other arm, which quickly found it's way into the full nelson. A moment later came a DRAGON SUPLEX HOLD by Yagami!! 1-----2-----3!! Yagami wins a terrific match which gets my personal vote for match of the year.	Finish!
RESULT: Yagami d. Anarchy at 13:11 via pinfall (Dragon Suplex)

JB : "So, it looks like next week on Fatefull Friday, David Mercury will face off with Alexi Markoff and Rio will face the friend of the man he just defeated, Shuji Yagami. The winners will then move on to a best two out of three falls match for the title later on that same night."

BH : "This won't just be a test of skill, but of endurance. Whoever wins that title will have earned it by the time that night is over."

JB : "Who do you pick, Buck?"

BH : "After what I saw tonight, I'd say Alexi Markoff. His style isn't anywhere near as energy consuming as the other three, and this is going to be about endurance. Markoff will be content to let them wear themselves out and then use his submissions for the win."

JB : "But if he lets Mercury wear himself out by kicking his ass, he may not have a chance to use them!"

BH : "Point taken."

JB : "Mercury, Rio and Yagami have all proven themselves to be resiliant to punishment. Rio in particular contains some explosive power, and Yagami just showed he can resist submissions. It'll be interesting to see where this all leads, but right now, we've got tag team titles on the line!"

Tag Team Title Perdition Match Sick & Sexy vs Prototype/Abaddon
Bane and Prototype started things out for their teams. Bane started out with some of his stinging chops, and Prototype responded by slamming him around with takedowns and body slams. Bane poked Proto in the eyes, thinking it'd effect him, but was proven wrong as Proto just slammed him back to the mat right afterwards. Bane quickly got to the corner and tagged in Weehawk. Proto's first act was to slam Weehawk face-first into the barbed wire board in Sick & Sexy's corner, but that only made Weehawk mad. The two brawled back and forth with kicks and punches. Weehawk then suprised him with double-underhook belly to belly suplex, and then he busted out the sickle and carved up Proto's forehead!	Sickle!
Prototype crawled to his corner and tagged in Abaddon. Somehow, he'd avoided any serious wounds at the hands of Weehawk's sickle. The two challengers double suplexed Weehawk, sending him to the corner to tag in Bane. Bane was one step ahead of Abaddon, constantly ducking and dodging around his moves and hitting him in between. Abaddon thought to get an advantage by slamming Bane to the outside and into the wire, but it turned out to be a mistake. Abaddon grabbed a board to defend himself, but Bane chopped him so many times his chest was bright red. He slammed Abaddon back first on the wire and then jumped in the ring, leaving Abaddon to Weehawk. Weehawk kicked him in the groin once before rolling him back inside. Back inside, Abaddon didn't make for the tag, but instead whipped Bane across the ring into the barbed wire board in the challenger's corner. Prototype grabbed Bane's head and slammed it into the board repeatedly, and Bane came up bleeding heavily from the forehead. Abddon went to a rear chinlock to try to wear Bane down more, and that caused him to make the tag to Weehawk. Abaddon still wouldn't tag, even though Weehawk was pelting him with kicks. Weehawk hit the ropes behind him and then running yakuza kicked Abaddon in the jaw, knocking him to the mat! That made Abaddon want to tag, and the challengers again double suplexed Weehawk, this time sending him to the outside. Abaddon followed him out while Prototype stood in the ring. Bane stood on the apron, trying to get the blood out of his eyes, while Abaddon back suplexed and slammed Weehawk on the barbed wire. Eventually Bane did recover enough to see what was happening, but Prototype was there to cut him off, and despite the chops Bane gave him he was slammed the barbed wire board twice and sent back to the apron. Weehawk escaped from Abaddon by DDTing him on the floor, then came back in and tagged in Bane. Bane managed to throw Prototype with a double-arm suplex, then used another rush of chops to keep him down. Abaddon then came in and hit Bane from behind, leading to the challengers STUFF POWERBOMBING him on the mat!	Stuff Powerbomb!
Bane barely dodged a lariat from Prototype that probably would've broken his neck moments later and ran to his corner. Weehawk came in, lifted Proto up, and S&S delivered the PINEBOX EXPRESS on him, snapping his neck! Weehawk then pulled a fork out of his pocket and viciously stabbed Proto in the back of the head with it. Weehawk released the hold, then gave Prototype a crushing roundhouse kick to the face that staggered him! But Proto sprung forward from the stagger and speared Weehawk to the mat, then crushed him back the other way with a lariat! Proto hauled Weehawk up, hooked him, and slammed him down hard with a uranage suplex, but Weehawk was not out yet, coming right back by kicking Prototype low and giving him a piledriver! Weehawk stumbled to the corner to tag in Bane. Bane came in and was met by Proto lifting him up on his shoulders, then bringing him crashing down over his knee with a gutbuster. As Bane lay gasping on the mat, Prototype jumped up and dropped both knees right on his head. Bane was pulled up, and moments later Prototype screamed and buried him with the TERMINAL OVERDRIVE!!	Terminal Overdrive!
Bane's leg caught the barbed wire board as he came down and a huge gash was ripped in it. His pants leg was cut from about the middle of his thigh down to his ankle, and before long his right pantsleg was red with blood. Bane barely escaped whatever Proto had planned for him next with a mule kick to the groin and limped to the corner for the tag. Weehawk came in and Bane collapsed on the apron. Blood loss coupled with having to carry most of the load for the team was starting to get to Weehawk. With Bane incapacitated on the apron, Abaddon and Prototype were free to double team Weehawk, and they took full advantage of the oppertunity, starting with a stuff powerbomb! Abaddon then lifted him into the RACK OF FAITH, holding him there for about a minute while Prototype too free shots at his unprotected torso. Abaddon then dumped him to the outside and into the barbed wire. Weehawk managed to get a double underhook front suplex on Abaddon, who followed him out, but his fatigue led him right into a CHOKE SLAM on the barbed wire! Abaddon grabbed a board and slammed it down on Weehawk's head. Abaddon rammed him into the railing next, but when he followed in, Weehawk kicked him in the groin, then set up and PEDIGREED him right on the floor! Weehawk stopped for a minute for a breather, and then made as if to enter the ring... but instead he grabbed a chair!! As Abaddon started to stand, Weehawk measured him and SLAMMED the chair into his head, knocking him back to the floor and out. Prototype stood in the ring resting as all this was taking place. As Weehawk slowly rolled into the ring, Prototype ambushed him with a double knee press, crushing him down on the chair he was trying to bring with him. Weehawk fought bravely, but it wasn't enough. Prototype dragged him to center ring. Bane tried to limp back in the ring to break up the pinfall, only to have Abaddon ram him off the apron and into the barbed wire below. Prototype then covered Weehawk for the three count to win the tag team titles!!	It's over!
RESULT: Prototype/Abaddon d. Sick & Sexy at 19:15 via pinfall (Prototype over Weehawk) NEW CHAMPIONS!

(Vermin, Bo Abobo and Hannibal showed at ringside, along with some EMT's, to attend to Weehawk and Bane. Roy Wallace, Goliath and Genesis came out to celebrate their win while Vermin and Bo carried off Bane and Weehawk)

JB : "A brutal contest leaves us with new champions! Prototype and Abaddon worked well together out there tonight, they're now the team to beat."

BH : "Prototype said this would be the beginning of the end for the Sickos, and right now they sure don't look too dominant."

(Hannibal heard this remark and went back over to the announce position)

Hannibal : "What was that, Buck, you fat fuck? You think we're losing it? Who cares what you think! You're lucky I don't have my Mauser out here or I'd plug you right now!!"

(Hannibal climbed in the ring with a mic as the attendants removed the barbed wire)

Hannibal : "Atlas! Get out here NOW! Let's do this!"

JB : "Hannibal has taken offense at your suggestion than Sick & Sexy's title loss is bad for the team, Buck, he wants Atlas right now!"

BH : "Yeah, well I hope Atlas kicks his stupid ass!! It's going to be two title losses in a row for the Sickos!"

MAIN EVENT - United States Title Match
Hannibal vs "The Original Warrior" Alexander Atlas

Atlas came in with confidence, but it made no difference to Hannibal on this night. Hannibal punched and slammed Atlas down repeatedly in the opening minutes, following with elbow drops, giving Atlas no time to recover. Atlas responded with a throat thrust, but it didn't stun Hannibal. A running yakuza kick was next and it knocked him back, but not down. Hannibal then caught Atlas up and gave him a manhatten drop, then savagely bit and head butted at his face while he was on the mat. Atlas was down and dazed. Hannibal stood up, got a running start and leg dropped him, knocking his head into the mat once again. Atlas tried to get up but Hannibal skipped the prelims and went straight to the main event with an H-DRILLER, driving Atlas's head down hard, then followed with another running leg drop. The Pantheon fans in the audience were stunned at Atlas' lack of attack.

Then, unexpectedly, NOMAD came through the curtain and strolled to ringside. He walked over to the timekeeper's table and grabbed the US title belt, shining it and looking at his reflection in it. Hannibal walked over to the ropes and yelled at him, causing Nomad to put the title belt back and smile innocently.

This distraction gave Atlas a much needed breahter. Atlas used the throat thrust again and then pounded Hannibal over the back with a hammer blow, and then locked him in the reverse figure-four! A direct slap in the face to Hannibal, who called that move the Hannibal-Lock. Hannibal fought out, walked right through Atlas' next throat thust to kick him low, then set him up for a front falling piledriver! Hannibal then locked on the Hannibal-Lock, and even though it was in the ropes, he didn't release it until the five count. Another front falling piledriver and a carry-style back drop had Atlas in serious trouble. Atlas managed to reverse an irish whip and nailed Hannibal with another yakuza kick, then grabbed him by the waist and slammed him back first onto the mat. Hannibal was lariated as he tried to stand, but when Atlas tried another, Hannibal swung around behind him and german suplexed him over for a near fall! Atlas barely made it out, but then crushed Hannibal down with another lariat. He lifted Hannibal into a stretch muffler then, but then he saw Nomad watching on the outside shaking his head as if he disproved of something. Atlas dropped Hannibal and mouthed off at Nomad, who beckoned him on. When Atlas turned back to Hannibal, Hannibal kicked him and STUNNERED him! Hannibal slammed him into the corner a moment later, then sat him backwards on the top. Hooking both of his arms, Hannibal jumped and BLACK TIGER BOMBED Atlas to the canvas, SUPER CANNI-BOMB!!! The referee jumped on the pin and counted 1---2-----3!! Atlas had been defeated.

Super Canni-Bomb!!

RESULT:
Hannibal d. Atlas at 7:50 via pinfall (Black Tiger Bomb)

(Hannibal threw Atlas aside, then demanded his title belt. The referee gave it to him and he climbed to the second buckle and held it up, beckoning on Nomad, saying "I'm a man among men!" Nomad climbed in the ring and stood face to face with Hannibal, both men talking trash)

JB : "Hannibal retains in impressive fashion, bringing the Sickos back strong! Nomad and Hannibal are facing off in center ring, is a US title shot in his future? And what does this mean for the Pantheon, Buck? Maxwell Potterdam made it pretty clear he wouldn't accept any more failure."

BH : "I don't know, Jim. I really don't."

JB : "Well fans, that's all we've got time for. Be sure to join us next time as EFW presents MASSACRE: FATEFULL FRIDAY on Friday, December 13th! Our light heavyweight champion will be crowned!! See you then!!"
