Opening Segment; Problem With Authority
Showdown opens up with a shot of Logan Owens’ office. Logan is sitting behind his desk when there is a knock at the door.
Logan: Come in.
Patrick Steel enters the office and walks over to Logan’s desk. He puts his hands on the edge of the desk.
Steel: You wanted to see me.
Logan: Yeah, go ahead and have a seat.
Steel stares at Logan and doesn’t make a move toward the chair.
Logan: Alright, or don’t. Anyway, we’ve got a problem. Well, WE don’t have a problem, YOU have a problem. DDV is furious about what you did to him last week. Fans are blowing up the message boards saying you should be punished, or even arrested. And the fact is, I can’t say I entirely disagree with them. I asked you to put a scare into DDV, not murder him.
Steel nods and smirks.
Steel: Oh, I see. You ask me to do something, and I do it. But when it takes time to face the consequences, you suddenly lose your back bone. That’s cool, I’m used to taking the heat for stuff, nothing new there. So what are you gonna do? Suspend me? Put me in a match with DDV?
Steel laughs, but Logan has a dead serious look on his face.
Logan: Patrick, I’m being serious here. You crossed the line. I hate DDV, but he’s still my employee and I can’t have one employee assaulting another. I’ve got a serious decision to make here and I need some time to think it over. I’ll let you know later tonight what I’ve decided upon. But whatever it is, you need to respect my decision and take your punishment like a man. Now go hang out in your locker room and make yourself scarce until I say so.
Steel runs and hand over his face, a look of rage on it. He punches Logan’s desk before he turns and exists the office, slamming the door behind him.
(As soon as the mandatory parantel descretion has aired, we are taken to a new video package that introduces us to 'ShowDown.' All of 'ShowDown's' talents are shown taunting and performing finishing moves throughout the video as "Fine Again" by Seether plays through the video. Once the video has ended, the familiar picture of ICW Owner Logan Owens fades in and out quickly, prompting many pre-taped boos to sound through the audio. Suddenly, the new 'ShowDown' logo glides across the screen, quickly taking us to the Showdown Arena. Without much wait, two bright pyro shoot down from the ceiling, coming into contact with 'ShowDown's' special titantron. This prompts many fireworks to shoot all over the stage, creating a jaw-dropping site for the fans in the arena. Once the amazing fireworks display has ended, the arena lights turn on and the cameras pan the audience. Many fans are holding their signs high in the air, while screaming for the start of the show. A small graphic appears on the top left corner of the screen, telling us the show is live from Atlanta, Georgia.)[/b]
JS: HELLO! And welcome to another golden edition of SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN! Tonight is going to be a big night for ICW as we start to shape up the ICW World Title picture...The crowd is still in shock over what we just saw! ICW Owner and President Logan Owens has just met with the devil in Patrick Steel!
Kash: The Devil?! Your the devil, John! I think those two will usher in a new era for ICW! Kinda like the 'Attitude Era' done for the WWE! But Tonight we can't forget that we also have our first 2 World Title Qualifying matches as Johnny Razor takes on TJ Black in WT Qualifier #1 and ICW returnee Jordan 'The Kinslayer' Moss takes on newcomer Mysery! in the second qualifier!
JS: Don't forget about our main event tonight as current Television Champion Noah Hanson defends his title against Diego de la Vega, but first we have brand new to ICW, the just plain mean, Marc Polo taking on ICW veteran Tyler Hiroko.
Kash: I think Polo's a dipshit! Who does he think he is anyway!? This is wrestling!
JS: Harsh words for Polo. I happen to think he's one of ICW's brightest stars.
Kash: Kiss his all all you want, John, I think he's a douchebag! Again, this is wrestling. You want to fight? Give Kimbo Slice a call!
JS: What's his number? I'll call Kimbo and tell him Kash Jones called him a punk. Hahaha.
Kash: Whatever John, your a douchebag too! Bring out Polo so Hiroko can kick his shit all over Hotlanta!
Vs
"Trouble In Woodsboro" By Marco Beltrami conquers a sold-out crowd and introduces Marc Polo, a god among brawlers. Arrogantly he strides toward the ring, taunting the fans. Polo is absolutly hated by the Atlanta crowd as he slowly walks up the steps to the ring. Marc Polo slowly enters through the ropes and shadowboxes in the center of the ring as Tyler Hiroko's music begins to play...But no Tyler Hiroko.
JS: Where the hell is Hiroko?
Kash: Don't tell me Hiroko's 'Scott Halling' us? Will someone come out here and kick this guys ass!?
"Artichokes" by Maps and Atlases continues to play but still no Tyler Hiroko. After a few minutes of waiting, Marc Polo starts getting restless. The referee tries to calm him down but to no avail. Polo delivers a unbelievable WMD on the poor referee.
JS: What the hell did he just do?! Somebody gotta get down there.
Kash: Screw this!
Kash takes off his headset and makes a b-line for the ring. Kash slides in only to be met with a kick to the face of Kash Jones. Polo starts stomping on the head and neck of Kash.
JS: What the hell! Polo stomping away on my broadcast partner Kash Jones in the middle of the ring, but do I care? HELL NO! KICK HIS ASS POLO! Shut him up!
John is laughing away as Marc Polo is absolutly destroying Kash Jones in the ring. Stomping him and dropping elbow bombs on the head of Kash. Dozens of ICW security personnel rush to the scene to stop Marc Polo from delivering anymore damage. ICW cuts to commercial as ambulance EMT's are seen running down to the ring carrying a stretcher for Kash Jones
COMMERCIAL BREAK
JS: I can't believe what we have just witness. Ladies and gentleman, Kash has been brought to the hospital, it looks like I will be flying solo for the night...Well the show must go on. Up next we have Jordan Moss versus Mysery in a World Title Qualifyer.
WT Qualifier #1
Vs
Stevie Jackson: Ladies and gentleman, Here is the first of 2 ICW World Title Qualifying matches. Please welcome, MYYYYYYYYYYYYSERYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
(The grandiose sounds of "Indestructible" begin to play and the arena is spotlighted by several orange laser lights. As the music goes full-force, the arena is illuminated in a bright orange light. Orange fireworks go off at each side of the ramp, as well as each side of the stage. One by one the fireworks work their way towards the entrance area in the center of the stage. As they reach their destination, one HUGE orange explosion shakes the arena's foundation. The boos intensify as Myserysteps out onto the stage. Displaying the black trenchcoat, Mysery spreads his arms and slowly spins around.)
(As an orange firework rain almost looks like a curtain between Mysery and the big screen, Mysery starts walking down the ramp, grinning and mocking some of the fans he passes.)
(The arena looks like an orange sea as Mysery reaches the ring. He slowly walks up the steps and draws some more boos as he arrogantly smiles to the crowd. He enters the ring and spreads his arms and circles around the ring, soaking up every single boo in the arena, as his music quiets down.)
Stevie Jackson: And his opponent, 'The Kinslayer' JORDAAAAAAAANNNNNN MOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
"How I Could Just Kill A Man" by Rage Against The Machine hits the speaker system, the vocals come in, and Jordan Moss steps through the curtain, adorned in a black sweatshirt, hood up, with the word "Kinslayer"on the back. Jordan stays focused on the ring, but quickly glances out at the crowd, nodding towards them. He rolls out his neck and begins the walk down the aisle, slapping the hands of a few fans along the way, never diverting his gaze from the opposite corner of the ring. Moss slides into the ring, and begins to bounce and hop in place, keeping his wind up. J-Mo removes his sweatshirt, as he awaits the start of the match.
DING DING DING
The referee rings the bell, and Jordan Moss delivers a strong right hand to Mysery’s face out of nowhere. Mysery staggers a little bit, as Moss comes across with another shot... and another shot. He backs Mysery into the corner, and turns around, taunting the crowd. When he turns around, Mysery comes across with a right hand knocking Moss to a knee... followed by a second one. He then kicks him in the gut, and throws him to the ropes. Mysery then waits for Moss to return and he takes him over with a hip toss. Mysery then applies an arm lock in on Moss. Moss quickly gets to a knee and elbows Mysery to the ribs a few times. He is then thrown off the ropes and Moss connects with a hard shoulder block. Mysery holds his chest as he gets up, and is forced back into the corner by Moss. Moss rips off Myserys shirt, and delivers a hard chop to his chest. The echo is heard through the arena. It is then followed by another chop. Mysery holds his chest and is whipped into the other corner. Moss then runs towards him, trying for a clothesline, but Mysery moves out of the way, causing Moss to crash into the turnbuckle. Mysery then waits, and as Moss turns around, he decks him with a hard clothesline sending them both to the ground. Mysery and Moss, both try to get to their feet. They reach a vertical base at nearly the same time. Moss tries for a right hand which is blocked by Mysery. Mysery retaliates with a right hand of his own. Moss tries for another right which was blocked again. Mysery retaliates once more with a right hand of his own. Mysery then begins hitting some hard right hands time after time on Moss, sending him to be groggy on the ropes. Mysery holds Moss there and delivers a chop of his own... followed by another one, and another one. He then sends Moss off the ropes again, trying for a clothesline once more, Moss dodges it, and Mysery gets hit with a back elbow. Moss then scoops him up, and delivers a hard scoop slam. Mysery is down and holds his back. Moss stomps on him a few times, before bouncing off the ropes and hitting a hard elbow drop on Mysery. Moss hooks the leg, as the referee drops down for the count. 1... Hardly a two count. Moss quickly gets up, as does Mysery. He is standing near the ropes and Moss rushes at him, only to have the top rope dropped down, and Moss going flying over the top, crashing to the mat below.
JS: What a match between these two future superstars!
Mysery holds his head and chest, as he ducks out of the ring and gets on the attack, on Moss. Moss holds his head as he crashed to the mat, and Mysery picked him up. He drags him over to the barriMoss, and lifts him up, crashing him down, on top of the barriMoss. Moss holds his chest and falls to his knee’s as Mysery, rolls into the ring to stop the count. He then tries to re-exit through the second rope, but Moss lifts the middle rope up, causing it to hit him between the legs. Moss then jumps on the apron, and places Mysery between his legs. He calls for a powerbomb off the apron! Mysery luckily, throws Moss off his back, and Moss flies off the apron, landing hard on his back, on the outside of the ring. Mysery jumps back down, regaining his breath as Moss lays flat on his back. He is lifted up, and Mysery drives him back first into the apron. Moss holds his back in pain. He is then drove into the apron a second time. Mysery then pulls back and drives him back first a third time! Moss screams in pain, as Mysery slightly gets back into the ring. He then rolls back out again, and drags Moss over to the ring steps. He tries to bash his face off of them, but Moss blocks. He elbows Mysery in the stomach once...twice...three times, before bashing his head into the steps one hard time. Mysery leans over the steps holding his head, as he turns around. Moss regains his breath for a little while, before Mysery comes up behind him and turns him around. Moss decks him with a right hand, revealing that Mysery has been cut open on the forehead above the eye. Mysery is brought to his feet, and rolled back into the ring. Moss still regains his breath, and holds his back for a few moments. He then makes his way back in the ring, and mounts Mysery, delivering some massive shots to his head. He continues to hit him constantly, before the referee breaks it up. Moss gets off of him, and stands up. He delivers a few kicks to Mysery, who begins to get to his knees. Moss then delivers a hard club to his back, and sends him back down. He then places him in a camel clutch, and applies pressure on his neck and back. Mysery screams in pain, as he reaches forward. He manages to break free of Moss’s legs, and turns around, elbowing him in the ribs, bringing him back in a backdrop.
JS: Jordan Moss showing some tight skills as well as Mysery. Both waste no time in that right! Two future Ring Generals on showcase right here! I can't believe Kash is missing this!
Moss holds his back in pain once more. Mysery slowly, but surely gets to his feet. He pulls himself, up with the ropes, and delivers a few kicks to Moss. Moss rolls out of the ring, and looks at Mysery. He makes out that he is about to leave, to con Mysery to get to the outside, and when he did, Moss hit him with a hard clothesline, and sent him back in the ring. He spots Mysery’s kendo stick, and rolls in the ring, about to hit him over the head with it. The referee grabs the stick in time, and argues with Moss. He then throws the stick outside the ring, and when Moss turned around he was kicked in the gut, and Mysery placed his head under his arm-pit, calling for the Mysery Effect DDT. Moss punches him a few times in the ribs, he then pushes Mysery off and bounces off the ropes. He then comes back forward with a strong, hard lariat clothesline! Moss falls atop Mysery, and hooks the leg. 1......2......3!
Stevie Jackson: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner... Jordan Mosssssssssssssssssssssss!
JS: Jordan Moss sure showed his dominance in that bout! I think ICW got a new superstar in the ranks!
Segment; A Southern Debut!
The arena suddenly goes black, a hush coming over the assembled crowd. After a couple seconds of silence, the opening chords of 'Fighter' by Christina Aguilera resonates in the darkness as the Jumbotron comes to life. Footage plays of an unknown young woman with a mass of blond curls walking down the ramp of Hardkore Helloween 2009, toward a ring with barbed wire in place of ropes.
After all that you put me through, you think I'd despise you.
But in the end, I wanna thank you, 'cause you've made me that much stronger.
But in the end, I wanna thank you, 'cause you've made me that much stronger.
The footage cuts to that very same woman as the song jumps to the chorus, battered and bloodied, driving the face of Suzie Machina into the mat with a high-impact scissors kick. She then quickly covers and gets the pinfall, becoming 2009's Queen of Helloween after overcoming a field of eight other competitors without picking up a single weapon, with half of the eliminations to her credit. The scene cuts to that same blond young lady, looking up… and up… and up at the mountain of a woman known as Yuku Shiro. Undaunted and unintimidated, she is shown taking the fight to her far larger opponent before nailing that scissors kick, dropping to the mat and getting the pinfall. The footage then cuts to her standing atop the turnbuckle, holding the Hardkore World Women's Championship over her head.
Makes me that much stronger,
Makes me work a little bit harder.
It makes me that much wiser...
So thanks for making me a fighter.
Makes me work a little bit harder.
It makes me that much wiser...
So thanks for making me a fighter.
The footage cuts to Sloan Sawyer taunting this same blond young woman over the recent death of her mother… and then the subsequent snapping, Sawyer paying for her despicable actions with a beating the likes of which she has never experienced before. Another cut occurs to the blond gazing directly into the eyes of the then-reigning VWA Women's Champion, then to her driving Amy Chastaine's back into the canvas with a Rydeen Bomb that shakes the ring to its very foundation, sticking the landing for the pinfall. The ovation is enough to drown out her entrance music as she is handed the championship she spent a year pursuing, the blond holding the title aloft.
Made me learn a little bit faster,
Made my skin a little bit thicker.
Makes me that much smarter...
Made my skin a little bit thicker.
Makes me that much smarter...
Another jump in the footage and the blond is standing, face-to-chest, with the monster of a man known as Adam Haven. He attempts to take her head off with a clothesline, but she ducks it, firing off a rapidfire sequence of kicks that ends with him dropping like a felled tree. As he struggles to his feet, she blasts him with that scissors kick that has served her so well before she makes the pin, toppling the giant. The scene then jumps through some of the hardest hits she's given the opposite sex; nearly taking Aaron Rupp's head off with a springboard roundhouse kick, driving AJ Matthews into the canvas with a reactionary Rydeen Bomb that shakes the ring, and that infamous Scissors kick knocking Chris Maddox out cold all flash by, amidst others.
So thanks for making me a fighter.
The scene jumps to a close-up of a pair of blue eyes, alight with competitive fire and determination, is displayed for a couple of moments before fading to black, the music slowly fading away. As the final notes are heard, the arena lights come back up. The camera cuts to ringside.
JC: Ladies and gentleman, we have an update on my annouce team partner, Kash Jones. It appears Kash has suffered a concussion at the hands of Marc Polo. One thing's for damn surem Kash will not be back here tonight, and I have also gotten a message from ICW President Logan that ICW Reporter, Chuck Takanowa will be my broadcast college for the remainder of Showdown tonight. Please welcome, Chuck Takanowa!
CT makes his way from backstage to the broadcast table. Chuck takes a seat and wastes no time.
JC: If that's who I think it is, then ICW is about to be surprised when it's turned on its ear by the nicest person to ever kick someone's head off!
CT: Oh goodie, we've got a Rockette on the roster. At least now I'll have a use for the kneepads that I bought for the ringrats--
JC: --that never even give you a second look, you ass. I'll have you know that Natalie Burrows is an honest, hard-working young woman that has worked her tail off to deserve respect.
CT: Yeah, well, she's more than welcome to… work her tail off on my lap, if you get what I mean.
JC: …shut. Up.
TAPED EARLIER; Segment; The Sharpest Mind
The scene opens backstage on CT, holding a microphone up to his lips.
CT: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, a new signee to International Championship Wrestling, a man that calls himself the Crimson Wildcat, Troy Spencer.
The camera pans out a little to reveal a tall, muscular man wearing a crimson singlet in the style of Olympic Wrestlers, but with a feral cat's face on the front. He towers over CT, but he doesn't seem too aggressive. CT seems a little wary anyway as he stands next to him.
CT: Troy, you are a relative newcomer to this business, and an unknown to ICW. What do you bring to ICW that is going to bring you success?
Troy: Well, I have an extensive collegiate wrestling background, so even though I haven't been wrestling professionally for very long, I have the instincts for it. I've also achieved a measure of success, so I'm looking to recreate that in ICW.
CT: Well that's nice. So you wrestled in college, and you're still just like everyone else here.
Troy raises his eyebrow as he looks down at CT.
Troy: Well I have been training with an MMA fighter to keep my skills sharp and my reaction times swift, and I've learned a few new submission moves in keeping with my hybrid fighting style. Does that count?
CT pales a little bit as he backs down.
CT: Yes, I'd say that does count. Anything else you want to say?
Troy grins a bit at the camera.
Troy: I hope everyone likes Crimson, because there will be a Flush of Crimson on a lot of people's faces in the coming months.
Troy nods a bit before walking off-screen.
WT Qualifier #2
Vs
Stevie Jackson: The following contest is the second match in World Title Qualifiers! This match can be won by Pinfall, Submission, Countout or Disqualification…
Head down on a pillow of concrete
I won't rest in peace either way
And I won't be forgiven
And I will never give in
I'll give you something if you wanna believe
Won't ever belong
Just wanna be free
CT: And ladies and gentlemen there he is! “The Badass” Johnny Razor!
JS: So do you still believe the BS that Razor spouted after TJ voiced his own opinions?
CT: Hell yeah! TJ is in denial and hopefully Razor knocks some sense into his former mentor!
Johnny Razor taunts the crowd as the arrogant Badass makes his way to down to the ring. The Badass continues to show off to a parade of boos…
Johnny Razor: Now got those who have been living under a rock for the last week… Role the footage!
A video package begins to play out highlighting the attack on TJ Black and subsequent promo cut by Johnny Razor. The promo cuts half way through as TJ Black’s titantron begins playing… 5 seconds later TJ debuts his new theme:
Sick and tired of these little punks
No way, no how I’ll just turn away
It’s everyday that I can’t control
All the things I do, all the things I say
This time I will hold it down
I won’t give in, I won’t go insane
But I can’t control my brain
Filled with sorrow, hate, rage, and pain
TJ Black comes out from behind the curtain and walks down to the ring-thanking the fans and shaking and slapping the hands of the fans!
JS: And there he is! TJ Black! My money’s on this guy winning the tournament! He has everything it takes to become the World Heavyweight Champion!
CT: This guy deserves to be in prison for mercilessly breaking someone’s neck!
JS: It was an accident!
CT: Yeah well what goes around comes around!
Stevie Jackson: Introducing first he hails from Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 232lbs: T… J… BLACK!
TJ holds his hands up to the praise of the fans
Stevie Jackson: And his opponent he hails from-
Johnny snatches the microphone away from the announcer and holds it to his mouth.
Johnny Razor: Now residing in Atlanta, Georgia! He weighs in tonight at 261 pounds! He is the only one that matters, the badass, the sinner, the feared and the respect. He is the future World Heavyweight Champion! Johnny Razor!
The crowd boos the hell out of Johnny’s “Personal” ring entrance and an “Anderson” chant breaks out as a smirk crosses TJ’s face…
CT: Razor demanded respect last week! Give him it already!
The bell rings and the two immediately lock up. The stronger Razor backs the Natural into the corner. The referee begins the 5 count and Razor breaks at four before taunting TJ. TJ responds with a kick to the mid-section and follows it up with a straight punch the face, and now a chop to the chest of Razor!
JS: Razor’s reeling!
TJ Black continues the barrage of kicks, punched and chops as Razor remains on his feet. TJ delivers a huge dropkick knocking Razor down! Razor immediately retreats to the outside, but TJ isn’t letting him escape that easily and bounces of the far ropes! Suicide dive takes out Razor!
CT: I have to give credit where its due Black can hit you from anywhere!
Black now climbs onto the guardrail and flies off of it with a Crossbody! Black back up quickly and he rolls Razor into the ring before climbing onto the apron where he waits for Razor to recover. TJ with a springboard but he is caught by Razor and a desperation spinebuster! TJ writhing in pain as Razor begins to recover.
CT: And that’s exactly why Razor is the only one that matters!
JS: Well it was impressive but you’re going overboard…
Razor gets to his feet first and delivers a scoop slam to Black. Quick cover! 1… Black kicks out! Razor begins stomping on Black before standing on Black face![/b]
JS: Razor putting all his weight on the temporal lobe area! That’s gotta hurt!
Razor then jumps looking for a knee drop! TJ rolls out of the way! Quickly back to his feet with an Enziguiri and both men hit the floor hard![/b]

Both men slowly back to a vertical base and begin exchanging hard blows to the face! Black begins a flurry of punches as the crowd cheer him on!

Razor uses the ropes to catapult himself back in and delivers a massive Monkey Flip to the Badass![/b]
JS: Like you said Kash, I'm sorry, Chuck, Anywhere!
Dual “Let’s go TJ!” and “Razor sucks!” chants begins as TJ measures Razor for the Superkick! He looks to deliver but Razor ducks out the way and TJ gets hung up on the turnbuckle! Razor now with a rush of adrenaline quickly joins TJ up top and delivers a Super Back Suplex!
JS: Man who got the worst of that!
CT: No Problem! I don’t know but Razor rolls over! Cover! 1, 2, 3-No!
JS: TJ just surviving! But wait another cover!
CT: 1… 2… No! TJ Black refusing to quit!
A mixed look of pain and frustration crosses the face of Razor who can’t believe TJ survived. Razor hoists TJ up onto his back looking for Razor’s Teeth but TJ struggles loose! Razor turns! SUPERKICK!
CT: It’s over! It’s over!
JS: TJ falls on top of Razor! 1… 2… AND RAZOR KICKS OUT!

Stevie Jackson: Here is your winner: TJ BLACK!
TJ take the microphone from the announcer and is breathless as he begins to speak…
TJ Black: Johnny Razor. The game is over!
The exhausted TJ Black continues taking in huge breaths between every few words…
TJ Black: Hopefully you finally accept that I’m better than you! This December not only will I be in winning the World Heavyweight Championship at ICW’s second ever Pay-Per-View but I will be competing live on PPV at Project Kayfabe’s Interfed Pay-Per-View: GENESIS! I hope each and every fan will accompany Jordan Moss, Logan Owens and yours truly as we represent ICW like no one else can! It’s time for ICW to make a statement!
TJ drops the microphone as “This is my Life” resumes to play! TJ makes his way up the ramp slapping the hands of the fans on his way up…
JS: Well ladies and gentlemen you heard it! Logan Owens, Jordan Moss and TJ Black represent at Genesis!
CT: Yeah… making a steal a win there too!
JS: What are you on about? You said it yourself: It’s not cheating if you don’t get caught!
CT: Well we return live with our main event: Diego De La Vega vs. Noah Hanson for the ICW Television Championship next!
ICW Television Title Match
Vs
Stevie Jackson: Ladies and Gentleman, the following contest is our main event….and it is scheduled for one fall! FOR International Championship Wrestling's WORLD TELEVISION TITLE! Introducing first….he hails from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua……Diego de la Vega!
The lights are turned off making everything pitch black. In Time begins to play. A lone spotlight shins on El Patron in a kneeled praying position. As he rises he raises his arms and flaps his cape behind him. Pyro is showered behind him sustained throught his walk to the ring. In the ring he stretches on the ropes and removes his cape.
Stevie Jackson: Please welcome his opponent….from Kansas City, Missouri…..The Undefeated and current ICW TELEVISION CHAMPION! Noah Hanson!
Just then, the familiar entrance theme of Showdown’s own A-Lister, Noah Hanson, blasts across the P.A. System. Hanson arrogantly emerges from the back and stares at the fans, whom of which are giving him the same reaction they did DDV. A laid back looking Hanson smoothly walks past the heckling fans, and stares right into the eyes of his opponent. With all of his attention focused on DDV, it seems the fans can boo all they want and nothing will affect the A-Lister.
CT: This guy Noah Hanson is a rock!
JS: No. He's a Stone Cold killer!
Hanson angrily enters the ring and eyes down DDV to make sure he won’t attack from behind. Once his music comes to a stop, the two lock up and DDV gains the upper hand as he pushes Hanson down to the canvas. After a second to recuperate, Hanson rises to his feet and shoves DDV. A fiery DDV then charges at Hanson with a clothesline, but Hanson ducks and nails a Step-up Enziguri to send DDV to the outside. Hanson climbs out onto the ring apron and leaps off with a Crossbody. He then punches away at the skull of DDV, that is until DDV throws him off onto the padded floor. DDV than plants an unsuspecting Hanson with a clothesline to send him down in pain. DDV picks up Hanson and drives him throat first onto the steel guard rail. He then shoves him into the ring and hooks the leg. 1...2...Hanson kicks out.

As Hanson walks over to a fallen DDV, he ends up getting his skull drilled into the middle turnbuckle. DDV uses this extra time to his advantage and rests up for a few moments before eventually getting to a vertical base. He spies Hanson in the corner, trying to use the ropes to help him up. DDV sees this and walks right over until he is standing behind the A-Lister. Once Hanson gets to his feet, he turns around only to be planted with a vicious DDT. DDV pulls Hanson’s limp body over to the corner and heads up top. Nobody can figure out what DDV is trying to do as he looks to be going for a moonsault.

After a few moments, Hanson hit’s a hard elbow straight to the abdomen and a beautiful standing vertical suplex.

DDV looks on in disbelief as the fans react with huge mixed reactions for Hanson's win. The referee exits the ring and raises Hanson's hand from the ramp.)
JS: What a main event! That match was great. Another big win for Noah Hanson here in ICW!
CT: I think Kash said it before but I'll say it again, Hanson is a threat to any man's title on the planet.

Segment; COMING TO A BOIL
The show comes back from a commercial with Logan Owens in the middle of the ring. The crowd begins to boo instantly as the camera focuses on him. He nods his head and smiles.[/i]
Logan: You know, last week Patrick Steel viciously attacked DDV in the parking lot after his match against me. I’m sure most of you have heard the rumors that I put Steel up to that, and they’re true. I told Patrick to send DDV a message and he did. However, after reviewing the tape a few times, I think he crossed the line. I asked him to rough DDV up, not assault him. As the owner of ICW, I won’t stand by and let someone almost end the career of one of my wrestlers, no matter how much I may dislike that particular wrestler. So, with that being said, I’d like to ask Patrick Steel to come out here and face the music.
“To Hell with Good Intentions” by mclusky hits and Patrick Steel walks out onto the ramp. The crowd erupts with boos and those close enough throw their drinks in his direction. Steel yells something at some fans as he continues to the ring. He reaches the steps and stares up at Logan, who returns the look. Steel slowly walks up the steps and pauses on the apron before ducking under the second rope and entering the ring. He paces around, his eyes never leaving Logan.
Logan: Patrick, you crossed the line last week and you know it. You tried to put DDV into the hospital. I told you to send a little message, not try to kill him.
Steel: Bullshit! You knew what I was gonna do, Logan. This is your doing and you know it. If you’re gonna try to take me down, I’m bringing you with me.
Logan: Yeah, okay Patrick. You and I both know what I told you. Play the victim all you want, but it’s not gonna work. Everyone knows you have a short fuse. You just blew up, it happens to all of us.
Steel walks up to Logan and gets right up into his face.
Steel: You know what I’m capable of, Logan. Don’t mess with me. I’ll make sure it’s the worst decision you ever make if you do.
Logan takes a step back and smirks at Steel.
Logan: Okay Patrick, just calm down. We don’t want security to have to get involved. Listen, you’re very important to the ICW, so that why this is gonna be so hard for me. Trust me, I don’t want to do this. It’s not usually good for business to mess with one of the best in your company, but you’ve left me no choice. Patrick, you’re fired.
The crowd erupts with cheers and Steel begins going crazy, screaming at Logan.
Steel: You’ve got to be kidding me! You put me up to this! You told me you’d have my back! You’ll pay for this Logan! The entire ICW will pay!
Logan: Whoa whoa whoa. Settle down there Patrick. You didn’t let me finish. I’m also pressing assault charges against you on DDV’s behalf.
Logan and Steel stare at each other for a split second before Logan bursts out laughing. He doubles over for a bit, trying to catch his breath.
Logan: Oh god, I’m sorry. I can’t keep this up any longer. We had everyone going though, didn’t we? Alright guys, here’s the deal: Patrick Steel is not fired, nothing of the sort. After I lost last week, I approached Patrick with an idea and he agreed. I need some help keeping order around here, and Patrick is the man to help me to do it.
Logan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper and a pen and holds it out to Steel.
Logan: That being said, it is my pleasure to present to you the new Vice President and General Manager of ICW: Patrick Steel! Here’s your contract Patrick, let’s make this official.
The crowd beings to boo as Steel takes the paper from Logan and signs it. Steel holds up the contract for everyone to see, a huge smile on his face.
Steel: Did you guys really think you were going to be rid of me? You must be stupider than I thought. The ICW cannot exist without Patrick Steel. With Logan and I running things, we can take this company to heights that none of you thought possible when it was first opened. You may not like us, but we will be successful, and maybe over time you’ll realize that we’re the best thing for this company. Next week will be my first Showdown as GM, and I can promise you that I have some big surprises in store for everyone on the roster. The Owens-Steel Era has begun, and we being to start it off with a bang.
“To Hell with Good Intentions” hits and Logan and Steel shake hands. The crowd is still booing as Saturday Night Showdows goes off the air.
