The cameras pan around the crowd showing a few signs like: |Ollie go Round| |(Thumbs Up) Sami for my. . BED!| |Pick Me Elijah!| |I’ve been with Jewel too: It still burns| JR: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the last show before Insurrextion! Jim Ross here, along side King coming to you LIVE from Oklahoma City! King: Jr, Jr, enough with it. You seen a little to happy. But not as happy as I am! It’s time for Team Venom’s Audition! ********************************** Manager Audition The cameras head backstage and is in front of a door with the words ‘Venom Auditions’ The door opens as we see Rey Mysterio. He motions for the camera to come in. Rey heads back to sitting behind the table with Elijah. Rey: First things first. Elijah: The ladies! Elijah stands up and walks around the room. The camera man follows him as we see stripper poles, chairs, a CD player, and other props. Elijah walks to the door and let the girls know he will be calling them one by one. Returning to his seat, him and Rey get some papers together. Elijah: Number one! Number one, you’re on now! The door opens and in walks a gorgeous blond. Rey looks at his clipboard and shakes his head no. Elijah: Man that’s Kelly Kelly! The self proclaimed ‘Barbie’ Rey: She’s too young Elijah: Soooooo, the younger the better Rey: Right.... Kelly walks up to the table and hands them her application Kelly: Hi, I am kelly Kelly....and I am - Rey: Umm..you are too young for this business. Sorry, but come back when you’re older Elijah and Kelly both look at each other and then at Rey. She rolls her eyes and walk out the door. Elijah: that was cold..just cold... ...NEXT! The door swings open hitting the wall with impact. Christy Hemme runs in with her own music playing. She begins to jump up and down as if she was a cheerleader. Placing her CD player down, she sets up for a cheer. Elijah: Uh oh. . Christy: T! E! A! M! V! E! N! Rey: We know how to spell our name! Christy puts a smile on her face and walks back to the door. She turns back around and does a double back flip followed by a cartwheel into a split. Elijah: Yeah, we need a manager not a cheerleader, NEXT! Christy’s in shock making her way out the door. As she heads out, Nidia walks in. She begins to say something in her raspy voice Elijah: Kane? Rey: Man, what? Elijah: Kane is that you? Nidia: Excuse me?! Elijah: NEXT! Once again, another diva walks out while another walk in. This time a sexy brunette walk in wearing a robe. She walks to the table handing them her application then walks to the stripper pole. Elijah: Okay Ms Tina Trey. Onto you! She takes out a napkin out her pocket and wipes it off. After that she heads to the CD player and puts on a CD. The married Rey Mysterio tries to stop her but Elijah covers his mouth, leaning out of his seat. A slow tune is heard as she starts to sway her body on the pole. All of a sudden, ‘My Hump by The Black-eyed Peas’ blast through the speakers. Rey: What the hell. . .? Untiing her robe, she reveals a pair of half cut jeans, and a white T-Shirt. She bends over and starts shaking her behind real fast on the pole Elijah: DAYUM! Rey: I cant take this any longer. This is just wrong... Rey gets out of his seat and turns off the music. Elijah: Why you did that? It was getting good Rey:We don’t need a slut like her...NEXT! Elijah: Whatever. Gabbie Michael, you’re up Gabbie walks in wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white wife beater. Her hair is out and her button up shirt is up buttoned Elijah: No need to continue Gabbie: What? Damn! You guys have us come up in here for a addition for a manger position, right? Yet you try to play us cause we wont play with your freakishly immature toys? I knew I should have went to Aggression. No worries, im outta here Rey: Gabbie, wait. Gabbie: Wait for what? Im not doing any of this Elijah: You’re hired!!! Gabbie: Im what? Hired?! But you haven’t even seen what I can do Elijah: Don’t worry about it shorty. I heard about you. Rey- yeah, you are the one that we need. The cameras fade out on the newly crowed Team Venom’s manager as Unleashed goes to commercial break. ********************************** Samantha Bianco VS Natasha Reid Lilian: The following Diva’s match is scheduled for one fall. On her way to the ring "You can miss me all you want, But I'm not coming over, Tonight I'm doin me, I'll call you in the morning (that's right), Hangin' with my girls, Until the break of dawn (that's right), You can't tell me no, Cuz I can do what I want." Lilian: From Dallas Texas, Samantha Bianco! 'That’s Right' by Ciara ft. Lil Jon blasts through the speaker as Sami Bianco appears at the top of the ramp wearing her skimpy blue attire. She places her hands on her hips and spins around seductively. She then blows a kiss before making her way down to the ring. Turning on her heel she climbs the steel steps and walks to the middle of the ring, preparing to enter. "Tonight I'm having' fun, Tonight I'm going out, Let's ride up on a party, All night long, I'm turnin' off the phone, So we can get it on, o-ooh, o-ooh, o-ooh." She smiles and points to the screaming crowd. She slowly gets into the ring, through the middle ropes, and walks to the middle of the ring before doing a slow spin and blow kissing to the fans flirtatiously. Stepping back, she waits for her opponent Lilian: And her opponent “He said 'Hi, my name is so and so baby can you tell me yours?' You look like you came to do one thing (Set it off)” Lilian: From Trenton New Jersey, one half of the Intergender Champions, Natasha Reid. Natasha makes her way out from the backstage area with her title around her waist. “I started on the left and I had to take him to the right. He was out of breath but he kept on dancin' all night “ She gets halfway down the ramp and removes her title from her waist. Holding it over her head as the fans cheer her on. Once the fans die down a little she continues on into the ring. Handing her title to the ref, she gives Sami an intense look as the Ref steps between them. JR: This should be one hell of a match King: These Rookie girls are always getting into it. But I wont complain! The bell sounds as the crowd erupts in cheers. Sami turns her back, smiling and waving at the crowd and Natasha starts pounding away at Sami's back. Natasha attempts to go for a Backdrop, but Sami flips backwards out of it, and lands on her feet. Sami starts throwing punches as they continue the back and forth. Sami hits a Headscissors on Natasha, and she falls to the mat. Natasha quickly gets to her feet and drivers her knee into Sami’s mid-section. Sami crawls to her knees, as Natasha begins punching Sami in her face. She then backs Sami against the ropes, and whips her to the other, Sami runs back to Natasha, and hits her with the Flying Forearm! Natasha lays out in the ring, as Sami smiles at the crowd, and lifts up Natasha. Sami hooks up Natasha's arm, and slams her with a Suplex. Natasha slowly gets to her feet, as Sami hits Natasha with a Dropkick. Natasha springs back to her feet, and Sami hits her with another Dropkick. Sami leaps over the ropes, and onto the apron. She then leaps on the ropes, and hits Natasha with a Springboard Legdrop. Sami goes for the quick cover.... 1.............. 2............... ..................Kick out! JR: Close call by Samantha King: Man she’s hot tonight. JR: Seems like this young lady has a new attitude Sami quickly lifts up Natasha, and goes for a Hurracanarana, but Natasha tries to go for a Powerbomb to counter. Sami countered it into a Monkey Flip, and flips Natasha almost out the ring. Natasha slowly pulls herself up using the ropes, and Sami dashers towards Natasha, but Natasha lifts and tosses Sami over her shoulder. She hangs on to the ropes, and lands on the apron. Sami grabs the back of Natasha's head, and places Sami's chin over her head, and drops to the mat, with the Jawbreaker. Sami also gets her neck slapped with the ropes, and her falls to the outside. Natasha gets out and she lifts Sami up, sending her back in. Sami gets up, and Natasha gets back in the ring. They start exchanging punchers, until Sami pokes Natasha in the eyes. Sami quickly gets Natasha into position, setting her up for Weapon of Mass Destruction King: If she hits this, it’s over! JR: Not necessary. She hits Natasha with her finisher, Weapon of Mass Destruction, and goes for a quick count. The ref drops down for the count: 1.................... 2...................... Kickout! The aggressive Sami gets up and begins to argue with the ref. The crowd begins to boo as Natasha is getting to her feet. Natasha charges at Sami but Sami turns around and side steps, sending Natasha out the ring! Sami runs to the ropes, bounces off it, and hits Natasha with a baseball slide, sending Natasha to the barricade. The ref begins to count and Sami gets out the ring, rolling Natasha back in. She quickly follows grabbing Natasha once again, hitting her with Weapon of Mass Destruction. She debates for a few seconds and picks Natasha up, hitting it again! This time she covers: 1................... 2................ .........................3! Ding ding ding Lilian: Here’s your winner, Samantha Bianco! Sami gets to her feet and looks down at the falling champ. She lets out a evil laugh then rolls out the ring, heading up the ramp. ********************************** The cameras head into the GM office where we see Stone Cold at his desk, and Jewel in a chair across from him Jewel: I thought this was Stephanie McMahon’s thing? Austin ignores her and plays the confession tape. They both look on until the last person speaks Austin: I don’t have all day. Let’s here your response. Jewel: “My response??? Hell, I don’t care who the hell talks shit about me here? Do you people honestly think it hurts me? I am who I am, and none of your words will change that. But, if you insist, I will give a response to those individuals that have nothing better to do with their life than comment on me! Kashawn, do I really need to tell you how I feel about you? And you think I ain’t gonna win at the PPV? Honey, if you weren’t teaming with my husband, you wouldn’t even have a PPV match! Randy…??? Umm, never mind!! Cadence, the topic was about me… not Jade. Next time, talk about me! Nina, I’m glad you can see past everything and noticed the true talent within. You’re one of the few that actually acknowledge me for who I am! Monique, you’re right with everything you said. The past is definitely behind me! And last but not least… Zach! I do believe everything you’ve said to me and I know you would never lie to me, but I just need some time to think! I love you too!” Austin stares at Jewel, waiting for her to continue. Austin: That’s all? Like I told Ms Binaco last week, this isn’t ‘Days of Our Lives’. Get over it. Jewel looks at Austin with confusion on her face. She lets out a huge exhale and walks out the door. ********************************** The camera opens up in a backstage area as we see Elijah Wayne and Rey Mysterio standing on either sides of a 6-foot ladder. Elijah: “Listen up Assassins, we’re gonna make this nice and easy! We know we have a match against each other at Insurrextion for the Tag Team Championships… Rey and I were thinking of making the match a little more interesting.” Rey: “See, we know that you two always win matches against us by using weapons in some sort of way. Well, we have arranged for weapons to be used throughout the whole match at the PPV… that is, if you’re not too scared to accept out challenge?” Elijah: “Don’t be too harsh on them Rey… We have set the standards a little high with our challenge and I’m sure they will hesitate before answering…” Elijah stops his sentence as the camera turns away from Team Venom and focuses on Kashawn Chambers and Zach Carter as they come walking towards Elijah and Rey. Zach: “What’s this I hear? Team Venom actually coming at the Assassins with a challenge? A challenge that they’re proud of organizing. A challenge that they THINK they’ll win at Insurrextion.” Kashawn: “Zach, just accept the damn challenge so we can be outta here!” Rey: “Don’t you wanna know what you will be getting yourselves into at the PPV if you do accept?” Zach: “We’re pretty sure it has something to do with a ladder unless this is a very bad placement of a ladder by someone. So, it’s either TLC match or a common Ladder match… So, we accept! There’s nothing that the Assassins can’t handle, and a few ladders sure won’t get in the way of beating your sorry asses again!!!” ********************************** Unleashed goes to commercial break ********************************** Kashawn Chambers VS Rey Mysterio Lilian Garcia: "The following contest is scheduled for one faill! Introducing first. From San Diego, California. Weighing in at 179 pounds... REY MYSTERIO!!!" "Booyaka, booyaka, 619! Booyaka, booyaka... Rey Mysterio!" Rey Mysterio's theme song plays as he gets shot up into the air with fireworks going off behind him. He stands while the crowd cheersfor him. He then begins walking down the ramp, slapping the hands of some fans. King: "What do you think Rey's chances are?" J.R: "Well it's fifty-fifty like always, King." King: "But you know... The Assassins have their evil ways." J.R: "Oh right." Rey walks up the steel steps and enters the ring under the top rope. He then begins stretching the ropes, getting a last few warm ups before the match starts. Just then his music cuts, and his opponents' starts. Lilian Garcia: "And his opponent! From Atlanta, Georgia. Weighing in at 183 pounds... KASHAWN CHAMBERS!!!" "People in my face, Damn near everyday, Askin a million questions, Like Kashawn where ya stay, I tell em A-T-L, Where they chop cars." Kashawn's theme music blasts through the arena as the fans almost boo louder than the music. Kashawn begins walking down the ramp, ignoring the crowd's reaction. He leaps up onto the apron and then jumps over all three ropes, entering the ring. J.R: "These fans absolutely despise Kashawn Chambers." King: "Yeah... The Assassins have a horrible fan base." The ref puts his hands between the two combatants and then calls for the bell. Kashawn kicks Rey in his mid-section and then gives him a spear to the floor. Kashawn gets up and grabs Rey. Kashawn tosses Rey to the ropes and then gives him a missile dropkick. Rey gets up and Kashawn goes to clothesline him down but Rey ducks and then wheel kicks Kashawn in the face. Rey then hooks his arm around Kashawn's neck and hits a running bulldog. The fans begin to cheer as Rey gives Kashawn a twisting leg drop. They get up and take a few seconds to shake of the quick wrestling done in the ring. They then lock up and Kashawn takes the height and strength advantage by aggressively shoving Rey to the floor. Rey gets up and runs at Kashawn but Kashawn lifts him up and slams him back down with a powerful spinebuster. King: "Things aren't looking too good for Mysterio." J.R: "It's still early in the match King, calm down." Rey gets up and sees Kashawn running at him, ready to land a clothesline. Rey springs off the ropes and slides under Kashawn's legs and then trips him to the floor. Rey then mounts Kashawn and begins punching him violently. The crowd goes crazy for Rey as he's gaining momentum. Rey dis-mounts Kashawn and gets ready. Kashawn stands up and Rey runs at him and hits a nice tornado DDT. Kashawn falls to the floor and Rey goes for the quick cover. One, two, kick out. Rey gets up and stalks Kashawn, waiting for the right moment. Rey then gives Kashawn a dropkick to the back and Kashawn lands with his neck on the middle rope. The crowd begins to scream as Rey bounces off the ropes and then goes to land his finisher, 619. But Kashawn moves and Rey goes spinning to the outside and he lands on the floor, hard. King: "Damn! I thought Mysterio had this darn Assassin!" J.R: "Bah gawd... That was a brutal fall to the outside folks." The ref begins counting. One, two, three. Kashawn gets to his feet and watches Rey as the ref continues to count. Four, five, six. Rey gets to his feet. Seven, eight, nine. Right before the ten count Rey slides into the ring. Kashawn stomps on Rey, not letting him get up. Kashawn grabs Rey and sets up for the K-Twist. He goes to land it but Rey reverses it and gives Kashawn a judo arm drag. Rey goes to the top turnbuckle and waits for Kashawn to get up. Kashawn gets up and Rey leaps off backwards, taking Kashawn down with a moonsault. Rey stays on Kashawn for the pin. One, two, th... Kickout.

Rey then gives Kashawn a neckbreaker and some fists to the gut. Kashawn gets up and Rey hits a reverse face crusher. Rey then locks in an armbar on Kashawn and the fans cheer. Kashawn tries to reach the ropes but they are too far. Kashawn then raises his hand to tap but instead he takes the other hand and punches Rey in his knee. Rey releases the hold and gets up. Rey runs to Kashawn and Kashawn gives him a kitchen sink knee to the gut. Kashawn grabs Rey and gives him a suplex. Rey quickly gets up, holding his back and Kashawn gives him an x-factor. Kashawn goes for the pin. One, two, kickout. King: "This match has jsut been back and forth, huh J.R?" J.R: "Yup... Both these men are great athletes and high flyers." Kashawn stalks Rey, waiting for him to get up. Rey finally gets up and Kashawn hooks his leg over Rey's head and lands his finisher, K-Twist. Kashawn goes for the cover. Just then... Jewel is seen running down to the ring. The ref drops down to the mat so he can count the pin. But Jewel climbs up on the apron and she attempts to get in but the ref comes and stops her. Jewel begins pointing in the ring and screaming at the ref. Kashawn gets up and goes over to the apron to check what the commotion is about. Jewel looks at Kashawn and then slaps him across the face. Jewel then jumps off the apron and stands at ringside. From behind Rey rolls Kashawn up with a school boy pin. One, two, kickout. J.R: "Ba gawd!!! What's going on!?" King: "Why did Jewel slap Kashawn!?" J.R: "Well King... Don't you remember? Last week Kashawn kicked Jewel out of their facion; The Assassins." King: "Right, so she must be mad about that!" Rey and Kashawn get to their feet. They begin to throw punches back and forth. Kashawn then grabs Rey and drives his head into the canvas landing a DDT. Kashawn goes to the top turnbuckle and awaits Rey to stand up. Rey stands up and Kashawn leaps off of the ropes hitting a diving hurracanrana on Rey.

Kashawn goes for the cover. One, two, three! The ref holds Kashawn's hand in the air as Jewel makes her way into the ring. King: "Whew, PUPPIES!!! Go Jewel!" J.R: "Those were some great moves by Kashawn Chambers... Rey was great also!" Kashawn's theme music begins to play. It then cuts as Jewel walks up to him and begins screaming and cussing. She pushes him with one hand while pointing her finger in his face with the other. She pushes him again and then slaps him hard. Kashawn looks at the audience who is booing. He then kicks Jewel in the stomach and hits the K-Twist on her. The crowd cheers a bit as Kashawn heads backstage. J.R: "BAH GAWD!!! Jewel has just had the K-Twist done on her!!!" King: "Help, help! Puppies is down! EMT's!" ********************************** The cameras heads backstage... Randy Orton is walking about checking out a few doors. He reaches the one marked‘TC: Baby Gurl’ and walks right in and a startled TaTyana turns around TaTyana: Randy! What are you doing here? More importantly do you not know how to knock?! Randy walks in and slams the door as TaTyana motions for him to sit Randy: I’ll stand. We need to talk, now. TaTyana: About what? Randy: More like who? Oliver King. TaTyana lets out a huge sign and plops down on the sofa Randy: I don’t like that guy TaTyana: Neither do I. . . . Randy: So you say. Listen baby sis. . TaTyana: Don’t even think about using that ‘baby sis’ bull shit. You and I both know we don’t get along well enough for that. Randy: But I’m trying to. . TaTyana: Trying to what? Protect me? Protect me from what? Randy: You know he’s up to no good. Do you think he would be this popular if it wasn’t for you? Do you think he would have made it this far if it wasn’t for you? TaTyana: Randy. . just. . leave it alone and leave, please. This is going nowhere. Randy: TaT, he’s using you to get to me. . TaTyana stands up and starts pacing TaTyana: Why do everyone keep saying it? Why is it so hard for you people to see that maybe he really do like me. No need to worry anymore. He finally realized that we will never be. But is it so hard for you to comprehend that im not a child anymore? I can handle myself and I’ve been doing one hell of a job since my sister married you. Now if you will excuse me, I have to accompany my partner. TaTyana stomps out of the locker room, leaving Randy in confusion ********************************** The camera fades to a door saying Alexander Nash on it. The Miz and camera enter and Alex is seen sitting on a couch watching the tape of last week's show. Miz: I'm here with Unleashed star Alexander Nash. Alex can I ask you a few questions? Alex: Sure, shoot. Miz: Well we all saw what happened last week. What is your opinion of the strange lighting issues? Do you think it was planned or was it maybe an accident on the crew's part? Alex: What's my opinion? My opinion is that Cameron Skeen hired some jackass to mess with my match and cost me the title. I mean you saw what happened, right? Every time I had the victory within my grasp the lights go out. Miz: I don't know about that. I mean Cameron got knocked out as well by that attack. Alex: Are you calling me a liar? Miz: No, of course not. I'm just saying that there is no evidence.. Alex: No evidence? NO EVIDENCE? Look some jack ass robbed me of MY title. Miz: Ok, just a few more questions. What does this mean for Cameron? And what are you going to do? Alex: Well Cameron, it's your day. You are no longer the number one target on my hit list. And as for what I'm going to do...well your just going to have to stay tuned. Alex walks out of his locker room, leaving the Miz with a questioning look. ********************************** The Kings VS Fury & Matt Hardy Matt Hardy’s Theme hits as Matt Hardy appears on the stage.

Lilian: And his Tag Team partner accompanied by TaTyana Casey, from Santa Monica, California weighing at 220lbs. Fury. King: Oh boy JR! It’s TaTyana Casey. JR: Oh brother King, you have to wonder if TaTyana’s prescene out her is going to complicate things? King: Come on JR.... You heard what Oliver said. He was wrong about TaTyana, and he’s moving on. JR: I find that hard to believe King. Fury and TaT make there way down the ramp and Fury hops up on the apron holding the ropes open for TaTyana.

Lilian: And their opponents both from Beverly Hills, California weighing in at 240lbs. Erik King, and his partner weighing in at 230lbs. He is “The Royal One” Oliver King! JR: Now we see the Kings coming to the ring. Oliver has beaten both of these men in singles competition. King: And if his brother Erik is as talented as Oliver this should be pretty one sided. The crowd goes crazy for Oliver as they make their way to the ring. The brothers slide in the ring and Fury and Matt get out. Fury walks over to TaT and they begin conversing about something as Oliver and Erik play to the crowd. Oliver and Erik hop on to opposite turn buckles and the crowd cheers. Both men hop down and prepare for the match. Oliver goes into the corner making Erik the legal man, and Fury hops into the corner telling Matt to get in there. JR: Well it looks like Erik King will start of exactly where his brother did squaring off with Matt Hardy. Matt charges Erik and leaps attempting a flying body splash but Erik catches him in mid air displaying his power. Erik slams Matt onto the ground and stands over him. Matt scamper back and gets to his feet a little throw of by Erik’s display of power. JR: Erik King displaying a tremendous amount of power. King: Well Oliver did say he was strong then him. Matt then runs in again but this time drop kicking Erik’s knees taking Erik off his feet. Erik goes down but is quickly back up. Matt continues beg going up and dropkicking Erik in the face before he can get an idea what where he is. Erik goes of his feet again but again is quickly up. But the agile Matt Hardy takes the big man down again and bouncing off the rope and delivers a flying shoulder block. Erik off his feet for the third time gets frustrated and quickly gets to his feet. Matt still on the offensive comes off the ropes again but this tim he is met with a giant clothesline hitting the incoming Hardy so hard the momentum makes him back flip before hitting the ground. JR: OH MY LORD! What a devastating clothesline by Erik King. King: HAHA I bet he hit Matt Hardy so hard his brother felt it. Matt Hardy is down and hurt, but Erik doesn’t care as he picks Hardy up and powerbombs him back to the mat. Then lifts him again Irish whipping him to the ropes then driving him hard to the mat with a Powerslam. Erik seems to be in total control as he lifts Matt Hardy up again and lifts Matt Hardy high up in to the air gorilla pressing him. He then drops Matt Hardy as Matt hits the mat hard again. Erik smiles and begins to smile at the crowd turning his back on Fury. Fury comes through the ropes and is about to hit Erik from behind but Oliver clubs Fury with a vicious clothesline taking Fury right off his feet. JR: Fury was about to end Erik’s showboating but Oliver seemingly out of nowhere wouldn’t have Fury taking a cheapshot on his younger brother. King: Oh come on JR. Fury should know better that he can’t pull a fast one on the Kings. Erik smiles at Oliver giving him a “thanks bro.” before lifting Matt Hardy to his feet again. Matt tries to fight off Erik but his quickly brought down by a club to back of neck. Erik lifts Matt up again and piledrives him back down. He then drags Matt to his corner and then waits for him to tag in Fury. Fury back on the outside tags himself in and charges Erik.

Even if Oliver is over TaTyana these two still have bad blood. Erik looks around and points to Oliver, the crowd goes insane wanting to see the two men go at it again. Erik makes to tag and Oliver gets in the ring as the crowd erupts into cheers. Outside TaTyana looms on in disgust as a cocky smirk comes over Oliver’s face. The two men meet each other in the middle of the ring. They begin jawing at each other and Fury is the to attack slapping Oliver right in the face. Oliver responds with a slap in the face of his own. JR: There is no respect her, just utter dislike for one another. King: What are you talking about JR. These to don’t utterly dislike each other. They hate each other. Fury continues with a right hand, and Oliver retaliates. Then they begin trading blows back and forth but neither man gives in by going down. Fury, then Oliver, then Fury again, and Oliver comes back with a right hand of his own. Finally Fury hits Oliver with a hard right to the jaw that turns Oliver around.

King: Lucky shot. Fury takes advantage of the surprise dropkick and lifts Oliver to his feet and applies a headlock. Fury bulldogs Oliver locking in the headlock on the ground. He begis to apply pressure keeping Oliver in a position of weakness. JR: Fury is trying to keep Oliver down, and wear him out. A damn good move on Fury’s part considering Oliver is at his best when he’s on his feet and mobile. King: Fury will learn quickly that Oliver King is at his best in any position. JR: Why do you kiss Oliver King’s ass so much King? King: I do not JR, I’m just relaying what TaTyana Casey said about Oliver and his bedroom performance. JR: Oh God King, how dare you spread rumors like that. Oliver fights up to one knee and wraps his arms around Fury fighting his way to his feet. Oliver is about northern light suplex Fury but as Oliver lifts Fury up Matt Hardy comes in the ring grabbing Fury’s feet and brings Fury back down. Fury lets go of Oliver and Oliver looks up to see what happened and takes a double clothesline from both men. They begin putting the boots to him as Erik attemps to come in and help his brother. JR: Matt Hardy and Fury are sick of Oliver’s cockiness, but I don’t think that mobbing him proves anything. The ref pushes Matt Hardy off and Fury begins telling the ref to let him go. Behind him Oliver is crawling over to his corner and reaches tagging in his brother. Erik gets in and hits Fury with a big boot but Matt comes off the top rope hitting Erik with a diving dropkick. Fury gets in and they begin double teaming Erik. Fury tags Matt in and hey give Erik a double suplex. Fury continues putting the boots to Erik as Matt goes upto and leaps hitting the downed Erik with a diving Moonsault. Matt tags in Fury and the two continue the well timed and executed double team. JR: Fury and Matt have done an excellent job of isolating Erik and making sure he can’t get to his brother. Oliver makes numerous attempts to help his younger brother but every time he tries the ref stops him and while the Ref has his back turned Fury and Matt double team Erik. Matt and Fury drag Erik to the outside and guillotine him over the barricade. Fury then rolls Erik back in the ring and both men pull one leg each on the opposite side of a poll knocking his crotch on the poll. They then wrap both his legs around the poll.

And so ‘show’ he put on earlier with those whores. TaT: Moving on? What’s there to move on to? He's pathetic. I could care less about him at this point. Sami: Exactly, so I'm calling a truce so me and you can take him out. TaT: And what will you get out of this? Sami: If he was in a little, I don't know, accident, we wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore. TaT: And me?

I mean, we can't just take him out by ourselves.* TaT: Not really. *Sami forces a smile and rolls her eyes.* Sami: Fury, he has a beef with Oliver and you know he'd only be too happy to do it.

The crowd shows their dislike towards him by creating a loud, echoing ‘boo’ sound throughout the arena as Jericho starts walking down the ramp towards the ring. Just as Chris Jericho climbs up the stairs on the corner of the ring, the lights turn red and flames are seen shooting out of the stage. Kane’s entrance music hits and he makes his way out on stage, adjusting his elbow pad as he walks down to the ring. Kane enters the ring and the two superstars stare intensely into each others eyes as the bell is sounded and the match begins. JR: This should be a interesting match. Both men wanting the same thing Jericho starts off the match with a quick thinking spinning heel kick. Whilst Kane is lying on the canvas, Chris makes his way down to mat level and begins to swing his right fist back and forth into the jaw of Kane. Kane reaches up behind his head and clutches Jericho around the neck. Kane holds his hand in the same position until he is standing, then he throws a huge right uppercut, knocking Jericho across to the other side of the ring.Kane lifts Jericho to his feet and subsequently knees him in the mid-section followed by thrusting his strong bulky shoulder into Chris’ shoulder several times. Kane launches Jericho directly toward the turnbuckle, sending him crashing into it with great force. After that, Kane closes in on Chris up against the turnbuckle. Kane clenches his right fist and hurtles it straight at Jericho, which collides on the right side of his face. Kane follows through with the punch, and brings his outstretched arm back the way it came, leading to Kane’s elbow pounding into Jericho’s left cheek and then to top it all off, Kane lands his fist straight into Jericho’s right cheek again. King: Jericho sure wont be a pretty boy after this one Chris Jericho falls away from the turnbuckle as Kane exits the ring in search of a weapon. Kane returns to the ring with a chair in hand, though upon his re-entrance, he leaves the chair in a corner of the ring. Focusing all his attention on Jericho, Kane moves over to him and plants his boot down on Chris’ throat. Jericho immediately springs to life in fear of loosing his breath. The referee instigates his count, and as he reaches the count of three, Kane removes his boot from the choke hold and brings Chris to his feet. Kane whips Jericho across the ring towards the ropes. He then turns in the opposite direction to spring back against the ropes behind him, causing himself to dart straight towards Jericho. Chris notices that Kane is approaching, and in a split second decision, he voids the oncoming big boot from Kane and shoots off the opposite ropes, launching himself through the air knocking Kane down with a flying forearm smash. King: Come on Jericho! That’s your main event on Feb 4th! JR: Calm down king. He may have the upper hand for now but im sure Kane isn’t down. The crowd gets to their feet in desperation for Jericho to get the upper hand in the match. Jericho gets straight to his feet as Kane sits up and looks him dead in the eyes. Jericho uses the strength in his legs to kick Kane as he tries to get up. Eventually, Kane finds his feet but then Chris toe kicks him in the mid-section and then executes a swinging neck bomb. Jericho gets a boost of confidence as the crowd reaction grows. He whips Kane towards the rope, but Kane holds on and reverses the whip, sending Jericho towards the ropes. Jericho bounces off and comes back performing a running Enzuiguri. Kane staggers around for a few seconds as Chris wastes no time and hits another Enzuiguri on Kane, sending him beneath the bottom rope and out of the ring. Jericho makes his way up onto the top turnbuckle on the same side of the ring that Kane was departed from. At the opportune moment, Chris leaps off the ropes and sacrificing his body, he perfectly hits a diving Hurracanrana on the staggering Kane. The crowd gets to their feet in admiration of the death defying move as Jericho stumbles to his feet and slides back into the ring as the referee’s count reaches five. Kane starts to stir on the outside of the ring as the crowd yells, ‘EIGHT’, along with the referee. Kane slides into the ring and gets straight up to his feet. Jericho runs at Kane hoping to attack, but Kane evades the attack and shoots his hand up into the air, signifying the immanency of his finishing move. Just as Chris Jericho turns around to face Kane, Kane lands his hand around Jericho’s throat with a firm grip. Kane lifts Jericho up into the air hoping to execute a chokeslam, but Chris Jericho gets out of Kane’s grip somehow and pulls Kane down to the canvas to administer the Walls of Jericho. King: “Kane’s gonna tap JR!!!” The referee slides down on the canvas to check on Kane. Kane’s hand starts to lower towards the canvas. King: “HE’S GONNA TAP JR… JERICHO IS GONNA WIN!!!” JR: “Calm down King… Wait, what’s this…?” ‘HEY… NOTHING YOU CAN SAY!!!” Randy Orton’s music hits and he runs down to the ring. Chris Jericho releases the Walls of Jericho as Randy enters the ring. Randy continues to run at Chris and clothesline’s him straight to the canvas. The referee signals for the bell to be rung. Lilian: “The referee has just informed me that the winner of this match, via the disqualification of Kane… Chris Jericho!!!” Jericho gets back to his feet and instantly gets hit with the RKO by Randy Orton. The crowd get to their feet and cheer for Orton, but then they silence themselves as Kane starts ‘stalking’ Orton from behind. Randy turns around and comes face to face with Kane’s hand, launching towards his neck. Randy tries to fight away from Kane, but Kane lifts Randy up and slams him down to the canvas with a devastating chokeslam. Kane moves over to Jericho and lifts him up and chokeslams him down to the canvas as well. Kane stands in the middle of the ring amongst the motionless bodies of Randy Orton and Chris Jericho as flames burst out of the four turnbuckles and the Unleashed cameras fade out… |
