       High Voltage 2014 Pre-Show
       By: ControversyPersonified Date: February 10, 2014, 4:52 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       HCW’s opening video package strikes up and we see flashes of
       HCWs finest superstars of this era in various positions. We then
       head to the very top of the EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake
       City, Utah. As the Pre-Shows are becoming part and parcel of
       every big HCW event, the arena is about three quarters full and
       we go to a grinning Todd Grisham in a skybox.
       TG: My name is Todd Grisham and we are live in Salt Lake City
       for this evenings exclusive HCW.com High Voltage pre show! And
       what a show we’ve got for you tonight. We’ve got two big title
       matches here, we’ve got interviews from some HCW superstars and
       we’ll also be revealing where we’ll be going on from after High
       Voltage! And of course, we’ve got previews coming for every
       match on the Pay Per View’s card. But let’s start by introducing
       our panel. On your left, he is the Fusion general manager, Hulk
       Hogan!
       Hulk Hogan waves to the camera cheerfully to big pops down in
       the arena below.
       TG: And in the middle, we’ve got the leader of a group that’s
       got a poisonous grip on Fusion, William Regal!
       Obviously the crowd boo Regal. Regal shows no sign of
       acknowledgement and instead glares at Grisham for in Regal’s
       opinion his poor and undeserving welcome.
       TG: And to your right, one of the commentators for the event…Jim
       Ross!
       JR waves as mediocre cheers occur in the arena.
       TG: We’ve got our commentary team down there for our two
       matches, Michael Cole and JBL…Hey guys!
       We go to the announce table and Cole and JBL acknowledge their
       cheers.
       TG: And also for our interviews, they will be conducted by none
       other than Matt Striker!
       Matt does a thumbs up as he is preparing for his set for
       interviews.
       TG: Now, let’s start as we usually do by going over what
       happened last time we were on PPV…Homes, titles, friends and
       enemies were changed…there’s only one show that does all of
       that, and it was the Draft! Let’s take a look!
       We see highlights of the great pre-show match, with The Wyatt
       Family going for about thirty minutes with the nWo and actually
       winning thanks to Rowan’s Chokeslam. Then we see the opening
       draws, nWo for Fusion and Orton, Bryan and The UnAmericans for
       Collision. Then, we see how all three men could have won the
       International Title Triple Threat match, but in the end it was
       Dolph Ziggler who came out on top…and then we see Fusion
       drafting Angle and Taz, with Collision getting Cesaro and Sky
       along with her manager Roman Reigns. Then, we see the raucous
       home atmosphere was too much for The Beautiful People as The
       British Invasion toppled them to win the tag titles. Fusion then
       drew out Shane Douglas and Edge, with Foley getting hold of
       Guerrero and Steiner for his brand. The hellacious events of the
       CDM match end with Bryan winning the vacated title. We see
       Cornette leaving the arena to the obvious pop and Dusty Rhodes
       replacing him to draw for Fusion. Triple H gets drawn out for
       Fusion, and RVD for Collision. These big drawings are followed
       by a hellacious London Street Fight which was won by The
       Mastodon, Vader over Hulk Hogan getting his and Heenan’s job
       back. Vader was also drawn for Fusion during that match and then
       Foley drew out two champions, first Cody Rhodes and then Dolph
       Ziggler. Rhodes pulled out Booker T and then we see shockingly
       Cesaro’s cross on Cena and re-joining the UnAmericans. Rhodes
       pulled out The British Invasion for Fusion, with The Wyatt’s,
       Austin Aries and AJ Styles staying on Collision. We then see Big
       Show’s picture perfect WMD for the Global Title. We see The
       Industry getting split up with Kingston going to Collision and
       Bourne staying on Fusion and then R-Truth and Chris Daniels were
       drafted to Collision and Fusion respectively. Triple H and Shane
       Douglas’ main flashpoints are shown next, with HHH winning in
       the end with a Pedigree, amid controversial circumstances
       involving Paul Heyman. Von Erich and Rayne went to Fusion,
       effectively splitting the Beautiful People up. The Miz and Ric
       Flair were Collisions picks on the next go. Then we see
       highlights of the great Universal Title match which Cody Rhodes
       ended up winning against Taz. Rhodes then won another title
       match when Steiner cashed in his briefcase. We closed the show
       with O’Neil and King going to Fusion, and Hardy, Rollins and
       MVP. We close the show with graphics of both fresh rosters. We
       go back to the Skybox.
       TG: Well, that was a great event for sure. Now before we go to
       our first match preview of the night we’ll ask our panellists
       what they are looking forward to the most: Hulk, what are you
       mostly looking forward too?
       Hogan: I’m looking forward to Triple H getting his comeuppance
       tonight! Hopefully Shane can put a stop to Hunter’s poisonous
       tenure here in HCW.
       TG: Fair enough, what say you on this matter Jim?
       JR: I like the idea of seeing a good, fair Universal Title match
       between Cody Rhodes and Scott Steiner, that I am looking forward
       too.
       TG: That’s sure to be a great match. What about you, William?
       WR: I’m looking forward to seeing my boys The Invasion take over
       and scoop those two titles.
       TG: Predictable answer…but now we're going to start the first of
       our match previews with what we do call a bonafide grudge
       match... HHH and Shane Douglas will put an end to their heated
       rivalry inside a structure well known... With a little twist in
       it, though. The first ever Hell in a Barbed Wire Cell... And
       what about the special guest referee... Plenty to drama to
       unfold tonight in this match... And it all started at the Draft!
       The segment starts with images of their intense encounter at the
       Draft concluding with Paul Heyman's appearance and Hunter's win.
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=51.msg5594#msg5594
       date=1389325644][center]HHH: I don't want to be the guy who
       tells the fans "I've told you so!"... But... I've told you so!
       The Nashville fans are still booing. Hunter seems to love this,
       though.
       HHH: You see, despite everything that has occurred at the draft,
       the record book will always say... HHH defeated Shane Douglas.
       To me, it's even more than that... HHH humiliated Shane Douglas!
       You see, no one has heard from Shane since that match... And if
       I were in his shoes, I'm pretty sure I would stay quiet too...
       Harder boos for Hunter.
       HHH: I'll give him a little bit of credit... He was that He puts
       his fingers close to each other. close to beat me... Just like
       the Tennessee Titans were that close to win the Super Bowl in
       1999... But in the end, just like your pitiful city, you just
       can't win the big one!
       It's getting even louder after that reference.
       HHH: And as far as Paul Heyman's concerned... I have nothing to
       do with his presence at the Draft... I was shocked, hell I'm
       still as shocked as you are that he showed up during our
       match...
       But nothing else matters to me right now. You see, when I've
       made my comeback here, I remember telling everyone that I had
       the option to continue after the Draft... Well, to your great
       pleasure, I've decided that I'm officially done with HCW... And
       with the bull**** that comes with it!
       The crowd goes wild for that news and they are chanting that na
       na na, hey hey, goodbye song. Hunter's still smilling.
       HHH: I will surely not miss your attitude. I'm off to do other
       stuff as I've accomplished what I wanted when I came
       back...[/quote]
       We then see Foley's arrival.
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=51.msg5594#msg5594
       date=1389325644]IC: I don't have time for this. I will find out
       exactly who invited Paul back and when I do, the person will
       regret it. In the mean time, I hate to rain on your good bye
       parade but you aren't leaving HCW just yet.
       HHH: And how do you plan on doing so? I thought I was pretty
       clear...
       IC: You would think I would be the one to stop you but you see,
       I don't have to stop you. Your contract will do that for me.
       HHH suddenly looks annoyed.
       HHH: How's that, Mick? Are you going to overuse your CEO powers
       and add stuff to the contract I signed?
       IC: I don't even have to do that. You see, in your haste to get
       it signed so you could get your hands on Shane Douglas, you
       overlooked one stipulation. The stipulation that in any event
       HCW feels that things aren't going as they should we reserve the
       right to end.. or extend your contract.
       Foley chants are heard now as Triple H reacts like he knows
       what's going to happen.
       IC: HCW is here by extending your contract until further notice.
       HHH: Basically. you're extending me because of your assumptions
       that I'm the one responsible for Heyman showing up? Vintage
       Foley, still as dumb as a plumber...
       IC: Until we figure out who exactly did what, you are sticking
       around. And while you will be around, I will give Shane the
       chance to have a real match ending with you, as he will face you
       one on one...
       Foley turns towards Heyman.
       IC: Without your interference!
       Foley turns back to Triple H.
       IC: In a rematch at High Voltage!
       Hunter looks exasperated at Foley's announcement. He can't
       believe that he's forced to face Shane again.
       IC: Like that? You will like it even more now, It will be with
       in the confines of Hell in a Cell, but not just any cell, oh no,
       it will be a Barbed Wire Cell![/quote]

       OOC: Play that song for the rest of the video package.
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=51.msg5595#msg5595
       date=1389326021]Shane got his hand raised by the referee, but
       before he could do anything else, HHH attacks him from behind
       and unloads on him. He's in control and the fans hate it. He
       looks to hit the Pedigree, but Shane fights back and pushes him
       to the corner and it now turns into a massive brawl. Many refs
       and backstage guys are trying their best to split both men, but
       the animosity is far too deep now. Hunter begins to attack the
       men holding him, before charging at Shane. It's even more
       difficult for the backstage people to keep them apart, as the
       crowd wants them to fight! And when it looks like control is
       regained... Shane decides to hit the guys holding him before
       charging at Hunter. It's so bad that now the Fusion wrestlers
       are forced to help the backstage guys to try an regain control
       of the situation. It finally looks like it's getting better, as
       we go to a commercial break.[/quote]
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg5584#msg5584
       date=1389246500]Hebner: I'll cut to the chase right now...
       There's no referee right now who wants to do that match,
       including me.
       A slience can be heard as Hogan wonders what's going on.
       Hogan: Why's that?
       Hebner: Well... Shane Douglas and Triple H have an history of
       attacking referees during their matches... Their first encounter
       at the Draft saw two referees being brought to the hospital
       after being hit by either one of the competitors... And last
       Fusion, both men literally attacked referees and backstage guys
       while trying to attack each other...
       And there's also the Barbed Wire Cell... Every referee we've
       talked to fears that they could get seriously injured by either
       one or both of the competitors. No one even wants to get close
       to that match...[/quote]
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg5631#msg5631
       date=1389927239]The NWO's theme gets heard and Hunter stares at
       the ramp to see Hulk Hogan coming towards him, a mic in hand.
       Hogan: I would have said congratulations but your despicable
       actions makes me sick, Hunter. But I ain't here because of that.
       You see, as you probably remember, there's no normal referee who
       wants to call your upcoming Hell in a Barbed Wire Cell Match
       with Shane at High Voltage. Well, I just got confirmation that
       somebody asked to do the job... I wasn't so sure at first due to
       some reasons that will be obvious when I'll announce who it
       is... But the Board was highly convinced that this man will make
       sure that you and Shane will keep your hands away from him.
       So, at High Voltage, it'll be Triple H vs Shane Douglas inside
       Hell in a Barbed Wire Cell and the Special Referee will be...
       MICK FOLEY!
       Hogan quickly leaves the ramp, as the crowd goes extremely wild
       for that major announcement! And Hunter's extremely pi$$ed off,
       as the man who has been his arch-nemesis for the last few years
       will be the Special Referee for his match with Shane. The
       announcers are quick to point out that Foley called a HIAC match
       between Hunter and Sting in the 2012 edition of Colleseum and he
       called it right down the middle. It's after the match where it
       got a little bit out of hand. The show ends with a look at a
       very pi$$ed off Hunter, cursing and swearing all over the
       place.[/center][/quote]
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg5695#msg5695
       date=1391193826]Hunter's temper is now surely going for worse,
       as it's Mick Foley, HCW's co-CEO and Collision's GM, who not
       only comes to the ramp, but also comes towards the ring. The
       crowd, while giving a great reaction to Foley, knows that
       they're about to see something big... It has been over a year
       and a half since both enemies have shared the same ring. Hunter
       seems to understand that while Foley simply does his poses for
       the fans.
       HHH: Well, since you graciously join me inside this ring, tell
       me what the hell are you thinking, Mick?
       IC: What am I thinking? Lots of things Hunter, lots of things.
       My mind is always moving.
       HHH: Well, it's probably moving every single time you move your
       head. That's normal with the fact that you've gotten plenty of
       concussions in your career.
       IC: That may be true, but I know what you really want to know.
       You want to know why I am going to step into the Hell in a
       Barbed Wire Cell with you and Shane to be the referee in what
       may be one of of the most violent matches in HCW history. Isn't
       that right?
       HHH: Well, why not tell me... But before you do, I'll tell you
       what you won't say to these fans. The only reason why you're
       doing this is to further humiliate me..
       IC: Aw, you don't need me for that.
       Hunter looks slightly annoyed by that last comment.
       HHH: Seriously, what will be your bull**** reason, Mick?
       IC: Well other than the obvious reason that Hulk already gave
       you, that the refs don't have the guts for it, I am still not
       convinced that you had nothing to do with Heyman's interference
       in your last match. I won't stand for that to happen again.
       Besides, who better to ref a match of this violent magnitude
       than The **** Legend himself right?[/quote]
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg5695#msg5695
       date=1391193826]HHH: You want something new, Shane? Well, I
       don't think these people have seen you wearing a crimson mask
       all over your face... I can make sure that it'll happen at High
       Voltage, Shane. I don't give a damn who the referee is... I
       won't be satisified into beating your face into a track meat...
       Douglas: Is this the part where I pretend that I give a **** so
       you can go into your caveman routine?
       HHH: Are you taking this match seriously, Shane? Because if it
       ain't the case, you will woke up the day after High Voltage
       completely broken, whether it'll be your body or your spirit.
       You'll have nothing left, Shane!
       Douglas: Am I taking the match seriously? Absolutely. Am I
       taking this glorified grab for attention seriously? No.
       HHH: I'll give you something, we both don't need to grab the
       attention... We already have it. But what if after this match
       you don't have it, Shane? If there's one thing you and I are
       well-known for, is that we always want the attention of the
       fans. After I literally... beat you within an inch of your life
       at High Voltage, what will happen afterwards?
       Douglas: Are you still talking?
       Hunter's visibly ****ed off, as Shane's playing mind games with
       him.
       HHH: I am, indeed. I can stop doing it if you want and give
       those fans a preview of High Voltage, but I ain't that kind of
       guy. Our record in Hell in a Cell matches is well-known of
       everyone here. Time to play your final game, Shane.
       Douglas: My final game, huh? Well, you just made your last
       mistake. You ****ed with The Franchise. Nobody ****s with The
       Franchise and gets away with it. At High Voltage, the game gets
       played.[/quote]
       DRIFT AWAY! FADE AWAY! LITTLE TIN GODDESS!
       [I]We see images of Shane fighting Lesnar, Kane, Undertaker
       inside the Cell.[/i]
       ASH TO ASH, DUST TO DUST, FADE TO BLACK!
       We then see images of Hunter facing Foley, HBK and Sting inside
       the Cell.
       FORTUNE FAME, MIRROR VAIN, GONE INSANE!
       We see Shane arrive to the ring.
       FORTUNE FAME, MIRROR VAIN, GONE INSANE...
       We see Hunter doing his pose on the turnbuckle
       BUT THE MEMORY REMAINS!
       The video package ends up with Hunter, Shane and Foley in the
       same ring and then the sight of the Barbed Wire Cell
       TG: That promises to be the most brutal match of the night. Jim,
       I'll start with you. What should be the mindset of both
       competitors coming to this kind of match?
       JR: They're both ready to suffer tremedous pain inside that
       Cell... And I expect both men to lose a lot of blood. It'll all
       be about them showing their resiliency throughout the hard times
       they'll endure out there.
       TG: Hulk, what about the special referee? You're the one that
       brought him in that match...
       Hogan:I know and like he said in last Fusion, the last time he
       did so, he called it down the middle. He knows what can occur
       inside a match of this magnitude and he has the ability to keep
       the emotions of both Hunter and Shane away from him.
       TG: William, will Hunter keep his focus on the task at hand,
       knowing his longtime issues with Foley?
       Regal: It'll be tough but if there's a man who can do it, it's
       Triple H. He never was out-performed inside the Cell and it
       isn't Foley who can deny that.
       TG: So, who wins this one?
       Regal: Hunter will be the last man surviving.
       TG: Hogan, who you have winning this one?
       Hogan:I expect this war to be heavily bloody but Shane always
       had that resolve that made me a fan of his, even when he was the
       main guy in the Revolution. I go with Shane.
       TG: Jim, your pick?
       JR: I do see Foley getting involved in the action, probably
       inadvertly and if it happens, it could change anything. But
       having said that, I think Shane survives and ends Hunter's
       career tonight.
       TG: Well, I'm pretty sure that the people in Utah will witness
       something they rarely see... Now, we have Matt with some guests.
       Matt, up to you!

       By: ControversyPersonified Date: February 10, 2014, 4:58 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Matt is looking pretty nervous, but he hides it quickly and
       raises to the mic to his face.
       Striker: Ladies and Gentlemen…The British Invasion…
       The Invasion come in, with no-one wanting to lead the group and
       they look pretty lost without Regal.
       Striker: Guys, what can we expect from The British Invasion
       tonight?
       All men just look around at each other, all of them wanting
       another to pipe up and speak for the group. We go back to the
       Skybox and we see Regal walk quickly away from his chair and we
       follow to him to the interview area.
       WR: Right, Mark Striker. I’ll tell you what is to be expected
       from The Invasion tonight…gold. Simple enough. We’re going to
       leave with gold. I’m going to take Brutus and Douglas out there,
       and we’re going to beat the headache of a tag team Awesome
       Truth, and then Davey Boy Smith is going to take out the Most
       Dangerous man in HCW, Paul Burchill and not return until the
       Global Title is secure over that linear and boring Vader, who’s
       brain is still stuck on 1994 and needs Heenan to teach him
       English.
       Oh, and LONG LIVE THE INVASION!
       Striker: Pretty conclusive…back up to you Todd.
       We go back up to Grisham who is obviously sharing a joke with
       Hogan and Ross.
       TG: I hope he stays with them and doesn’t come back and-
       WR: Right, I’m back.
       TG: Great! Well, there's been much said lately about the
       controversial UnAmericans, and they're in the next match were
       about to preview as they'll enter Hell in a Cell against the
       team of John Cena and Edge. For Cena, it's been plenty of months
       where he has had issues with Christian and Jericho but Edge's
       involvement make this one intriguing contest... Let's see how
       this all started...
       We start the package with what occurred at the Draft, as Cena
       got screwed by Cesaro and the Un-Americans, who had plotted to
       take him out with a plan that involved an attack on Cesaro and
       Antonio looking like he was turning away from the group...
       [quote author=TheSpirit88 link=topic=6.msg5414#msg5414
       date=1387085991]You guys are pathetic! Now, who here wants to
       know why we did to Cena what we did and why we went to
       incredible lengths to do it?
       Boos.
       Well I don't give a damn what you want or don't want. Chris,
       could you please explain to this rude crowd why Cena suffered
       the fate he suffered?
       I vowed that we would take out the NWO one by one and Cena was
       the first. We got him when he least expected it and we did the
       world a favor. It wasn't easy, either. It took lots of planning
       and it took patience and skills but in the end it was all worth
       it. We fooled you, didn't we? We fooled all of you! Everything
       was an act. We had to reel you all in so that the plan worked
       and it did.
       There was never any animosity between Christian and Antonio. I
       said to Antonio, as you've just watched, that the process of the
       NWO's elimination would start on that Collision and it did. See,
       on that Collision Antonio lost to Cena. It wasn't because Cena
       is better, though. It was purposeful. Antonio took a loss to
       give Cena reassurance that everything was okay. He took a loss
       to make Cena think that he was on top of things. Later on, after
       Christian here skillfully pinned Bret Hart, Antonio took one for
       the team and allowed us to publicly beat him down. He agreed to
       let himself take a beating to get the plan going. After that it
       was simple. Antonio was never hurt. He never visited any
       hospital in Canada. His skull wasn't dented and he sure as hell
       doesn't have a personal doctor named Zollini. What kind of name
       is Zollini, anyways? All of this was a part of the works. Once
       Antonio managed to convince the crowds and most importantly,
       Cena, that he was on their side and the match was booked... it
       was all academic from then. We outsmarted the NWO and the world
       at large.
       Fortunately, the NWO has been drafted to Fusion and they are
       somebody else's problem now. We're done with them. We shall now
       move on to bigger and better things.[/quote]
       We then see footage of the Collision after that, where Cena got
       involved in Cesaro's last match with Bryan.
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg5474#msg5474
       date=1387695955]Cena: Yep, I showed up on Collision and got the
       last laugh on that Swiss bastard. I hope that I didn't hurt him
       then, as I believe he's supposed to be filming a movie now.
       The Nashville's crowd, being a patriotic one, begins to chant
       USA! They do that many time as Cena hypes them up.
       Cena: Now, I know I'll probably get in a little bit of trouble
       for my actions, as I did attack a member of Collision and I
       ain't searching for no punishment. I know what I did and I know
       why I did it. After what occurred at the Draft, there was no
       ****ing way that I was going to let that slide, bring out my
       happy face and let it go like nothing happened.
       Back then, I took care of one Un-American. There's a duo left...
       You see, Christian, Chris... I know you're listening to me right
       now from whatever jet you're flying to. Let me be perfectly
       clear... If you intend to do one more thing to me or the rest of
       the NWO... I won't be pleased until both of you are gone from
       this company! Right now, the John Cena you're seeing isn't Mr.
       Hustle/Loyalty/Respect... He isn't the guy who grants wishes to
       kids every day... He isn't the company guy who does promotional
       work for a TV or a radio show...
       The man you see right now is the man that will drag you to Hell
       if you dare try anything here... You're not welcome... Hell,
       you're not welcome anywhere in the USA! I swear to the people
       who believe in me that if you do one mistake, one wrong move,
       you'll pay the exact same price I paid at the Draft! If you
       really want some...
       He let the fans finish that sentence for him.[/quote]

       As soon as that theme song begins playing, there is absolutely
       no one cheering anymore. The crowd boos loudly, as is always the
       case. “The Best in the World” Chris Jericho walks through the
       curtain wearing a nice, expensive suit, like always. He sports a
       brand new Rolex and wears a smug look on his face, once again,
       like always. He makes his way down the ramp and into the ring
       while the crowd boos him louder and louder. One has to wonder,
       how can people be hated as much as this guy right here? He grabs
       a microphone from his stool and begins to speak while the Boston
       fans still boo.
       Tonight we are in Boston… one of the worst cities in this
       horrible country. As a matter of fact, one of the worst cities
       in the world!
       Louder boos.
       The quicker I get out of this city the better my life will be so
       let’s get through this, shall we? Just for the record, you
       parasites are not welcomed to the Highlight Reel. This is my
       show and my show only. You imbeciles should thank whatever god
       you worship for the privilege that is witnessing my creation.
       Now… to get this over with, I present to you, my guest for the
       evening… John Cena!
  HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cZ7ndjhhps
       Well, if the Boston fans were heavily booing… The reaction has
       changed in a 360-degree way, as their hometown boy arrives on
       the ramp, wearing a Boston Strong T-Shirt. No booing, simply
       100% positive reactions for the Cenation leader. But instead of
       going towards the ring, we see that he has a mic in his hand.
       Cena: Before I go on my way to the ring… Where’s your Canadian
       buddy, Chris?
       Jericho looks at Cena with disgust as if just his presence was
       irking him. Jericho lifts his microphone up to his mouth and
       after deep consideration, he speaks...
       Wow John, how nice of you to ask. If you must know, however,
       Christian twisted his ankle during his match against Jeff Hardy
       earlier today and unfortunately won’t be able to join us this
       evening.
       Cena: Well… Is it me… Or I simply don’t trust you, Chris… You
       don’t have the best history when it comes to lying to people…
       And to make sure that nothing physical would happen, I got the
       confirmation by Mick backstage… That if you or Christian tries
       to attack me physically, you will get one of the heftiest fines
       in HCW’s history. Just so we be clear on that, now… I’ll be a
       nice host for the city of Boston!
       As Cena comes towards the ring, the fans respond with heavy
       cheers for him dropping the city’s name. He enters the ring and
       stays as far from Jericho as he can.
       There is no need to worry Johnny boy… I can guarantee that
       neither me nor Christian will even make any physical contact
       with you, those aren’t our intentions. You were invited here so
       we could honorably address your recent comments, remember? Plus,
       yet another fine by Foley would be unnecessary at this time. It
       would appear that that’s the only thing the old man does
       nowadays, give out fines.
       Cena: First, the word honorably coming from your mouth is like
       me beginning to talk trash about Boston… Anyway, Foley can do
       more than fines, remember what happened to Ryback, for example…
       Jericho cuts Cena off.
       Ryback was a kidnapper, understand that, John. Don’t even make
       any sort of implications concerning Ryback and myself-
       Cena’s turn to cut Chris off
       Cena: Hmmm… We all know that even though we have no proof of
       that… There’s some allegations concerning you too asking him to
       do it. So, if I were you, I would look at the mirror before
       talking about what happened that day.
       Now, the past is the past… And since you have something to tell
       me, well go for it, Chris…
       Jericho looks more and more annoyed by the second but he takes a
       deep breath and resumes..
       Yes, let’s begin. First off, Cena, as much as I hate you, and
       let there be no doubt in your mind about that… I hate you.
       However, in some weird, strange manner I actually respect you.
       Jericho stops for a second. Cena wonders what he does have in
       mind.
       No, let me rephrase that… I don’t respect you… I respect your
       ability. And no, I’m not talking about your nonexistent
       wrestling ability, I’m talking about your ability to walk down
       that ramp week after week and give these parasites a smile. I
       respect your ability to pretend and be someone who you are not.
       Cena, you may fool all the people in this arena… hell, you can
       fool the 320 million Americans mindlessly roaming this country,
       but it takes a really skilled Un-American to see past the hand
       gestures and happy face expressions. I see right through you,
       John.
       Cena: You see right through me, Chris… I should have known…
       You’re the Man of 1,001 Holds! Yet… You’re right, my move-set
       maybe isn’t as skilled as yours… Yet, I can’t understand why
       every single time we faced in WWE… You always ended up on the
       losing side!
       As far as pretending that I am someone that I’m not… You
       couldn’t be more in the dark, Chris. What you see… Is what
       everyone in the back sees… And what every single people either
       inside each arena we travel to or every single person watching
       us on TV sees. Whether they’re American or not! I am who I’ve
       always been and who I’ll always be… Good luck seeing right
       through me when you simply can’t even see through yourself and
       see how pathetic your schtick has become!
       Cena is as hyped as we’ve seen him in recent times. Jericho
       remains calm while looking at Cena in the eye. There is a long
       moment of silence between the two before “The Best in the World”
       speaks up.
       Man you’re good. You literally almost had me convinced there,
       John. Wow. Every time you speak, you sound so passionate about
       what you say. You truly sound like you mean what you say. I have
       to say, with the Awards coming up, I will personally sue the
       company if you do not receive an award for your acting skills.
       The crowd boos Y2J’s mockery.
       No, Cena… you say that this is the person that we see now, we’ve
       seen before, and will always see. Well, Cena, I’m not going to
       make any lame references about you being hit on your head too
       many times and forgetting a certain time period because I don’t
       believe you forgot this period of time at all… I believe I can’t
       forget it because it was during this time period that your true
       self came out. Of course, I’m talking about-
       Cena rolls his eyes and cuts Jericho off mid-sentence.
       Cena: You’re going to talk about my period with the Revolution,
       don’t you? Nice try… You’re right , I’ve made mistakes before…
       But has anyone not made mistakes before in their life… I was
       swallowed by jealousy and hatred… And the fans would have been
       right to stop supporting me as I was nowhere near the things I
       had been preaching for the last decade… And this is why that
       when I came back to HCW, I vowed myself to never return inside
       that dark place where I’ve lost over a year of my career
       battling people I loved-
       Jericho breaks out laughing.
       Okay… so that’s your excuse, huh?
       Cena: It ain’t an excuse, Chris. It’s simply recognizing that
       I’ve made a mistake… Which you and your Canadian buddy never do,
       for example.
       Me and my Canadian friend are not American, John. We don’t make
       mistakes. Anyways, that is besides the point. Allow me to tell
       you why exactly I have brought back your “dark” past. You see,
       you say that during that time you were swallowed by jealousy and
       hatred but Cena… you never looked so genuinely happy than during
       those days. The day you allowed yourself to release your true
       being, you became free. Isn’t that what this country is all
       about? Freedom? You became free the instant you began being
       yourself, John. Your time in the Revolution was your best time
       and you know it.
       Cena: You couldn’t be more wrong yet again… While maybe it
       looked like I was an happy man back then, deep down inside it
       pained me to attack people that I’ve respected so much… Whether
       it’s Thuggin and Buggin Entreprises…
       Crowd heavily pops for one the HCW’s most known tag teams in
       history.
       Cena: Or guys like Foley or Rock… And don’t get me started on
       being free… You know very damn well who were controlling the
       strings inside the Revolution… It’s why I actually broke free
       from the group… And while I maybe won an Universal Title during
       my time with the Revolution, I’ve won far more titles before I
       came to the group…
       And while you’re talking about freedom… I remember rewatching a
       segment where you two were talking about your freedom being
       neutered by HCW… This is where you get the word freedom all
       wrong, Chris.
       If your freedom of speech was taken away… You and Christian
       would have never been able to say all the horrendous stuff
       you’ve said in the past year and a half. But then again, we
       allowed you to speak because of the fact that in America, we do
       allow freedom of speech. Now… As for the actions that come with
       those words… That’s a different case.
       Jericho seems to be getting a bit angry with Cena’s words.
       Well John, see I have brought all of this up for a certain
       reason. That reason is because lately you have been talking way
       too much. You’ve been throwing threats around. You’ve been way
       ahead of yourself. I just thought I’d help you put your feet
       back on Earth and remind you of your past. I’ve also brought up
       these points to remind you of one thing. You see, not so long
       ago you stated that you have a weakness. I won’t lie, it takes a
       real man to admit their weaknesses for every man has weaknesses…
       but only The Best in the World can say that they contain no
       weaknesses and in this ring…  only one of us is The Best in the
       World.
       Cena: I know you’ve been saying that line before anyone else…
       But right now, you ain’t worthy of calling yourself “Best in the
       World”, Chris. I know it’s already been said… But a guy like
       Cody Rhodes would have all the rights to call himself that and
       it’s actually good that he doesn’t, because it shows that his
       ego is far better than yours. And you know what hurts even more…
       Christian has actually been better than you ever since you
       joined the group!
       Jericho is infuriated immediately by those statements. He has
       obviously been hit where it hurts.
       Christian and myself are men of equal ability. We are The
       Un-Americans and we are The Best in the World At What We Do. But
       don’t you dare say that Cody is the Best because he’s not! Cody
       is a worthless piece of crap compared to me! I am royalty and he
       is no more than “the help.”
       Cena: You sure are the Best in the World at throwing childish
       insults to America! I’ll give you that! And how many titles have
       you won lately? Seriously, Boston, can you help me out… I dunno
       how many titles the Un-Americans have won since starting in HCW…
       The crowd happily gives him the answer, which of course, “Zero!”
       “Zero!” “Zero!”. Cena laughs at this while Jericho gets really
       disturbed. To make matters worse, the crowd follows it up with
       some “Cody!” chants. Jericho is not winning this battle.
       Listen up, Cena… this is my show! I will not tolerate being
       insulted and disrespected by you on my show. By comparing me to
       Cody Rhodes you have shown the ultimate sign of disrespect! I
       summoned you here in front of your hometown, in front of friends
       and family because I am a man of honor and I believe that if I
       have something to say to you I must say it to your face.
       Cena: Well, I’m saying it to your face…. I will not tolerate you
       insulting and disrespecting the people I love so much and you
       lost all your honor after you and your Un-American buddies
       planned to take me out at the Draft…So, if you have one last
       thing to say before I leave, go for it…
       Jericho is hot in the ring. The Cody comments really got to him.
       Cena, you’ve been through a lot in your career. I think
       everybody knows that. You started from the bottom and worked
       your way up. You kissed up to the right people and now you’re
       where you’re at. I’ll admit something. You’ve always been a kind
       of measuring milestone. For example, whenever a newcomer came
       into the company, the sign of progression was always overcoming
       you. Anybody who could beat you in the ring was elevated to
       all-new heights. Not only that but every time you were on top,
       there would always be somebody wanting to take you down. You’ve
       had a fairly successful career, John. However, like I’ve already
       stated… there’s a certain demon inside you that doesn’t let you
       be completely satisfied. You have to release that demon, Cena.
       Many have tried in the past to turn you towards their side.
       Cena, what I’m telling you tonight is this: embrace that
       jealousy. Embrace that hatred. Embrace your true self and be
       liberated. Accept yourself for who you really are. Stop putting
       on happy faces for these fans. Be yourself, Cena. Deep down
       inside the John Cena from the Revolution days remains… unleash
       that beast within you, Cena. Embrace that beast.
       Cena: Actually, Chris, while you were talking, something did
       flash inside my head… I do indeed have a demon… But I’m afraid
       that I’ll only be releasing it when I truly want it too… When
       it’ll be the time for me… To shut you up for good!!!
       Because, I know I’m a Fusion wrestler… But sooner rather than
       later… I’ll get my chance to give you two a taste of your own
       medicine… For the past few months, you’ve had my number.. Or
       should I say… The group has had my number… And I won’t be
       entirely satisfied until I get my hands on you two and give you
       the beating the entire United States of America have been dying
       to see!
       Jericho realizes that Cena is the toughest nut to crack. He is
       infuriated by the fact that Cena will not embrace the beast
       Jericho is so sure is within. He begins to tense up.
       You know what Cena? A hefty fine doesn’t sound so bad, anymore.
       Cena senses that Jericho is serious but the more Cena thinks
       about it, a brawl versus Jericho doesn’t sound so bad either.
       Suddenly, out of the corner of our screen, Christian Cage jumps
       the barricade with two chairs in hand. No ankle injury present.
       He slides one of the chairs to Jericho who picks it up. Cena
       realizes that he is in danger. Cage slides into the ring but
       Cena immediately gets out and begins heading up the ramp. It
       actually looks like Cena will be walking away from this one
       which, of course, never happens. The crowd boos this heavily.
       Whatever happened to “Never Back Down?” Cage and Jericho stare
       towards Cena, believing that for the second time they have
       demonstrated superiority. As Cena reaches the top of the ramp,
       he stops.
       Cena: I didn't leave the ring because I was backing down from a
       fight, I left the ring because it's about to get really...
       nasty. Isn’t that so… Daniel?
       Suddenly on the TitanTron we see Daniel Bryan sitting down with
       a big smile on his face in the Collision control’s room. He
       looks at the camera and responds to Cena’s question.
       Bryan: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
       Bryan then hits a big red button and immediately in the ring
       some sort of green slime pours down all over The Un-Americans
       and the Highlight Reel set. Jericho exclaims in horror at the
       sight of his beautiful Jeritron 5000 being covered in slime.
       Both men slip, slide, and fall all over the place while the
       crowd, led by Bryan and Cena, take part in a monumental display
       of Yesses! The entire arena loves what they see and every single
       person voices their approval through one  simple word: YES! YES!
       YES! YES! YES!
       The show comes to a close with the humiliation of The
       Un-Americans while the roof blows off the arena with Yes
       chants.[/quote]
       We then see the footage of the Un-Americans attacking Cena
       during his Fusion match with Angle only to see Edge coming to
       the rescue.
       [quote author=Thurl link=topic=6.msg5671#msg5671
       date=1390775595]Suddenly, Mick Foley's theme is heard and the
       fans go wild for his entrance. He comes to the ramp... With
       Fusion's GM, Hulk Hogan. They both have mic in hands. We then
       see a camera shot of the Un-Americans, looking quite annoyed at
       their presence.[/i]
       IC: Sorry to interrupt our champions but we need to talk about a
       certain subject so we'll deal it right now. Un-Americans... I've
       heard you be worried about the fact that you haven't been
       punished for your recent actions... At least, you do recognize
       that you did something wrong... But I was simply waiting for the
       right punishment to be delivered to you two. And I think it's
       the right time, right now, in Louisville, Kentucky!
       Crowd pops for the trademark Foley plug. Un-Americans are
       wondering what he's thinking.
       Hogan: We're here to announce how you'll be punished for your
       actions in recent weeks, and especially for your actions over on
       Fusion.
       IC: Hogan's right. I can't allow you guys to continue to make
       Collision look bad simply because you're obsessed about your
       issues with Cena. So, the Board have decided to put an end to
       those issues the only way they should be. Inside the ring.
       The fans do feel like something big's about to be announced. The
       Un-Americans are now really wondering what the Board had on
       their minds.
       IC: So... At High Voltage, you'll be involved in a tag team
       match. It will be the Un-Americans...
       Heavy boos from the Louisville crowd.
       IC: Will face John Cena and his tag team partner....
       Hogan: You know him well, Christian... Very very well... The
       Rated-R Superstar, Edge!
       The crowd goes wild for that blockbuster match. Christian's face
       says it best... He's speechless. A lot of thoughts must be
       running through his head. Jericho's fuming and he curses towards
       the two GM. They turn back and looks like they're about to
       leave, but they stop as they're about to go through the curtain.
       Hogan: By the way, dudes... That match... Will be... inside
       Helllllllllllllllll in a Cell!
       The Louisville crowd goes even wilder as now both Un-Americans
       are speechless. The show ends with both guys exchanging a stare
       as the two GM leave the ramp. The announcers express how big

       date=1390838271]Our main focus is now John Cena and... Edge.
       Cena, I said enough to you during my Highlight Reel. However,
       Edge... Christian, have you anything to say?[/color][/b]
       Cage is very thoughtful. He remains silent but speaks
       eventually.
       Edge... you are my brother. It was alongside you that I grew up.
       It was alongside you that I won multiple championships.
       Alongside you I went through good and bad. Thick and thin.
       Together we faced the hardships of life. You are my blood
       brother and nothing will change that. However... family isn't
       about blood. Family is about who's there for you when you need a
       shoulder to cry on, a meal to intake... an American population
       to eliminate. Chris has been here for me, Edge. He's my new
       family. Blood means absolutely nothing.
       Before I go on, you must understand that as your brother, I love
       you, man. But you've changed Edge. You're not the same. And as
       hard as it will be for me to face you at High Voltage, it is
       something that must be done... for your own good. Someone needs
       to save you from yourself and I appear to be in the perfect
       position. I, alongside my brother, Chris Jericho will enter that
       Cell and just like you thwarted our plans on Fusion last week...
       we will thwart your future and I will save the real Edge. The
       Edge that I know is deep within.
       See you at High Voltage, brother.[/quote]

       Cena in.
       Edge: ... and they will probably cross again. Don't mention it.
       I did what I did for the good of FUSiON and HCW. I am tired of
       my brother's idiotic behavior. I am equally tired of Chris
       Jericho. They can poorly represent Canada on Collision all they
       want to, but when they come here, I won't put up with it.
       Frankly I don't think Bret Hart should be the only Canadian
       around here providing a good example. [/quote]

       Edge make his entrance in the Energy Solutions arena and the
       fans pop reasonably well for him. He poses for a moment then
       gets a mic.
       Edge: Utah.  Of all the places The Board of Directors could
       choose, they choose Salt Lake City, Utah.
       Edge pauses and the audience gives him a cheap pop for their
       city name.
       Edge pauses for a a moment as the fans give a mild pop for that.
       [color=tan]Edge: I feel like I keep answering the same question,
       over and over again. Everyone keeps asking me why. Why am I
       stepping into this ring with John Cena to face my very own
       brother, Christian, and the ass clown, Jericho?  You see,
       Christian knows me very very well. He knows be the best of
       anyone in this business, better than Jeff Hardy, better than
       everyone. As a result, I know Christian very well too. I know
       that he doesn't feel the way he is acting. I know he is putting
       on a show for Chris Jericho. Quite frankly, I am tired of it.
       Many of us have tried to just talk to Christian but our words
       fall on deaf ears. So now its time to beat some sense into him.
       Who better than me for that right?  Who better than Christian's
       own brother to set him straight?
       Edge pauses and moves his hair out of eyes.
       Edge: Canada is my home country, its great and I love it. But
       just because I from there, does not make me any better than each
       and everyone of you. Its time that Christian and Jericho were
       shown that.  They need to start recognizing that with out each
       and everyone of you, there is no us.
       Crowd pops again.
       Edge: I am tired of the "Un-American" crap. Americans made us
       who we are. They made this industry what it is.  When I am done
       with you tonight Christian, I hope you see things through
       clearer eyes.

       OOC: Play that song for the rest of the package.
       I... can't... get...
       Away with murder.
       We see the Un-Americans raising their hands after their actions
       at the Draft
       I... am... bound...
       To take it further.
       We see Cena's retaliation on Cesaro the floowing Collision
       I took the pills.
       (I) I've been consumed.
       (I) I drank the water.
       (I) I had to choose.
       We see Edge staring a hole at both Un-Americans on Fusion.
       I'm still here with a fire burning, burning inside.
       If you want to burn, light it up, light it up, let it rise
       We see the Cell structure
       When you're high, who ya flyin for?
       When you ride, who ya ridin for?
       When you toast, who ya drinkin for?
       When you play, gotta deal with the devil.
       (High) Gotta deal with the devil.
       (High) Gotta deal with the devil.
       (High) Gotta deal with the devil.
       We see in succession Christian and Jericho deliver their
       finishers to Cena, Cena delivering AA to both men, we then see
       Edge slap Christian's face and we then see what Jericho, Edge
       and Cena did inside the Cell. The package ends with a shot at
       all four men.
       TG: It'll be the end of Cena's issues with the Un-Americans,
       that's for sure. William, will the Un-Americans have another
       trick up their sleeves?
       Regal: They'll be ready. They are a cohesive unit unlike their
       opponents. And they're two of the smartest man in the company...
       Hogan:You would have a good point.... But the intrusion of Edge
       in this match changes everything. Edge knows all the tricks
       those two can deliver. And Cena's now ready for everything,
       dude.
       TG: JR, can Edge and Cena unite long enough to take care of
       their opponents?
       JR: They can. They wanna deal a lesson to the Un-Americans, in
       separate ways. And Edge is one crazy bastard inside that cell,
       he can do whatever the hell he wants back there.
       TG: Hogan, will the fact that Edge and Christian are brothers
       will have any importance in this match?
       Hogan:Normally, it would... But both men made it clear that they
       have issues to deal with each other so don't expect any love
       between those two.
       TG: So, who wins this one, Hulkster?
       Hogan:Edge will be the x-factor that will lead to an huge win
       for both him and Cena.
       TG: Regal, who you see win this one?
       Regal: I expect the Un-Americans to finally prove their point
       and put a bloody end to their war with Cena.
       TG: Jim, your pick?
       JR: Expect the unexpected from all four of these guys... I hate
       to say it, but the Un-Americans rose to the occasion the only
       time they were involved in a gimmick tag team match so I think
       they find a way to survive.
       TG: Well, that will be an emotional encounter... Talking about
       that... We have Matt with a guest. Matt, up to you!

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Striker looks delighted at the prospect at this interview.
       MS: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time... Kurt Angle!
       The fans give a solid reaction to Kurt, who's hours away from
       his last HCW match.
       MS: Kurt, how do you feel right now?
       Angle: I would lie if I were saying that I feel no stress at
       all... It's an exciting stress, though. You see, the stress of
       knowing that it's the last time that I will hear that music. The
       last time I'll be walking down that ramp... The last time I'm
       going to enter this ring... And there's no man in the world that
       I would have rather faced tonight than the man who's career will
       always be intertwined with mine...
       MS: Do you think Brock will be in wrestling shape, almost a year
       since his last match...
       Angle: Brock is a freak. Brock is one of the greatest athletes
       this company has ever seen. I have no doubts that I'll see the
       Brock Lesnar we're accustomed to. And I wouldn't want it any
       other way.
       MS: Should we expect another wrestling classic between you two?
       Angle: Easy question to answer... Of course... Me and Brock know
       each other so well... The fans expect nothing less and I've
       trained hard in the gym and in the training ring to give the
       fans the match they wanted. Tonight, it's only about knowing
       who's the best...
       MS: Thanks for your time, Kurt. Very appreciated.
       Angle: No problem. Just wanna say to the fans that I've been
       glad to entertain you for the last few years...
       MS: And we appreciated that. Thanks once again, Kurt. Guys...
       Back to you!
       We go back to the skybox just after we see Kurt walking for a
       while.
       TG: Kurt’s ready, you can tell that. Now it’s time to preview a
       match between two dominant forces…Paul Burchill and Vader have
       been causing problems from all corners lately, but now they’ve
       got a problem with each other; that problem is the Global Title.
       The video package begins with the highlights of Vader’s and Big
       Show’s epic Last Man Standing match, and then we see the end.

       We're now closing in to fifty minutes in... Both men are inside
       the ring, yet are on their knees. They exchange right hands,
       Vader to the head and Show to the ribs. Vader grabs Show by the
       throat and finally hits the Chokeslam. Both men are down... The
       ref starts to count... Vader gets up at eight... And Show
       somehow gets up at nine, before dropping to his knees. Vader's
       in complete disbelief. He drags Show down on the corner and he
       looks ready to hit the Vader Bomb... But somehow Show rolled out
       of the way. Both men slowly get up to their feet... WMD right to
       Vader's jaw and the Columbus crowd thinks it's all over. Show
       tries to recuperate as the ref makes the count.
       One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, te...
       To everyone's shock, Vader got up as the ref was about to make
       the ten count! Show simply can't believe it. Suddenly, the
       Invasion looks like they wanna come in, but the NWO gets in
       their way. We sense the tension between the two stables. The
       Invasion has maybe the number's advantage, being four to three,
       but Viscera can easily take care of two guys, making sure this
       isn't an issue. Hogan quickly comes to the ramp though, with the
       intention of making sure no brawl would be started. But while it
       happened, both men had hit each other with a clothesline. The
       ref starts the count... When suddenly, somebody under the ring
       slides... an hammer inside the ring! No... It's one of the two
       parts of Hunter's sledgehammer, the part with the hammer that
       Show broke earlier on! Vader sees it and he takes it as Show
       readies for the WMD.
       Show launches the fist but Vader ducks and then hits him in the
       face with the hammer! Nobody saw what happened but the ref
       begins his count...
       One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten![/i]

       We see Vader with the title and then the introductions for the
       Number One contenders match for the Global Title.

       Burchill continues the offense, but Edge shows his athleticism
       by landing on his feet on a Release German Suplex attempt.
       Burchill is caught by surprise as Edge delivers his Edgecution!
       Both men are now down as the crowd is on its feet, cheering as
       loud as they can for the Canadian. They slowly get up and once
       again, they exchange shots. Paul has the upper hand but as he
       goes running to the ropes, he gets caught by a beatuiful
       spinning heel kick from Edge. Edge then goes up top and awaits
       for Burchill to get up before dropping him down with a flying
       dropkick.
       Edge then decides to pick Burchill's legs and applies the
       Edgecator, his own version of the Sharpshotter and the fans go
       into a frenzy, knowing that this could mark the end of the
       match. Regal begins to look worried on the ramp and it looks
       like he's going to go towards the ring, but Burchill fights back
       and gets to the bottom rope, forcing Edge to break the hold and
       Regal slowly returns to the ramp, still looking a little
       worried. Burchill rolls out of the ring, but Edge jumps onto him
       with a tope, driving the Columbus crowd to chant "This Is
       Awesome!".
       Both men battle it out for several seconds on the outside before
       returning the action back inside the squared circle. Burchill
       tries to whip his opponent into the ropes but it's reversed and
       Edge drops him down with a backdrop. He then catches Burchill
       and hits a second Edgecution! This time, he has enough energy to
       cover!
       ONE
       TWO
       THRE-NO!
       Edge can't believe it. A lot of guts by the Invasion member.
       Edge then stares at the downed Burchill and he pulls his hair
       back. The fans know what's coming next, as he goes to the
       corner, ready to hit the Spear that will punch his ticket to a
       shot at the Global Champion. He charges at Burchill, who ducks
       and Edge hits the ringpost hard and of course, it's the injured
       right shoulder that took most of the shot. As he turns around,
       Burchill catches his right arm... Armbreaker, just like Alberto
       Del Rio used to do when he was here in HCW.
       Burchill then signals for the end, gets Edge in position and
       hits the Dangerous Buster! He covers...
       ONE
       TWO
       THREE![/i]

       Heenan: You are definitely right it won't be enough! You are on
       a rampage like no other Vader. Everybody from the NWO to the

       fear the Mastodon! They should fear their new Global Champion!

       Vader, as much as I respect what you did to Hogan - because,
       well, he seems to have an unhealthy obsession with the Invasion
       - we must not forget that the Invasion is here to take over HCW.
       That means the Global Title rightfully belongs to us. When I
       take that belt away from you Vader, we will...
       (Burchill pauses as he glances towards Magnus and Williams)
       We will keep it under our firm control...this time...and we'll
       do everything in our power to make sure that belt remains in our
       hands

       (Heenan sees Burchill's comment. He looks to Vader)
       Heenan: Well, the Global Championship has brought us more than
       pride and glory. We are caught in the crossfire of a war.
       Burchill wants your title, big man. He believes it's Invasion
       property.
       Burchill, we support the Invasion going after the NWO because
       like most people, we are sick of them. They deserve to be put
       down once and for all. However, you cannot claim my client's
       title as your property. Vader has done more to earn this
       championship than any of you have. So listen to me when I say,
       you claiming this as your property makes you foreigners enemies
       just as much as the NWO.
       Vader is ready to fight and beat whoever dares challenge him. He
       lives to be the Mastodon, the unstoppable force that no one can
       beat. Burchill, you are the next victim. Everybody in HCW should
       be afraid of being the next victim especially the NWO and the
       Invasion. You two groups can go to war all you want. At the end
       of the day, Vader will be the one on top of the mountain.

       The British Invasion are lounging around in the first class
       cabin of their flight to Utah. Burchill announces that he's
       taking a trip to the toilet. Instead he walks to the other end
       of the plane while filming himself talk on his phone's camera
       Burchill: Heenan, Vader; stop right there. NOBODY underestimates
       Paul Burchill. At High Voltage, I will show you exactly what I'm
       capable of. Since this isn't Invasion business I won't be
       sacrificing victory for a greater cause. Nothing is going to
       stop me from  emerging with the Global title in one hand and
       your dignity in the other hand. Vader time you say? Well
       apparently your watch is slow 'cause mine is telling me it's
       Burchill time. You'll be lucky to get out in one piece. LONG

       absolute power of the Mastodon first hand. What everyone has
       witnessed the past few weeks has been sheer dominance! This
       dominance will continue against you Burchill. It's time for the
       reign of the Global Champion to continue!
       Vader: I want the Invasion and especially Paul Burchill to be
       ready for the destruction that will unfold at High Voltage. It's
       time! IT'S TIME! IT'S VADER TIME!

       We see both competitors hitting their infamous finishers on
       random opponents and the Global Title being close up on the
       screen. We then go back to the skybox.
       TG: A match between two dominant forces: A Mastodon and a
       Ripper. Should be a decent match gents, it’s time to get your
       opinions. Jim, what do you believe Vader has to do to win this
       match?
       JR: Well, I think he needs to have his eyes everywhere to watch
       Burchill and his friends. Burchill is unpredictable and so are
       his afore mentioned friends. I think Vader has the physical edge
       but he needs to watch Burchill as he is a very very dangerous
       man.
       TG: I think we’ve all seen that plenty of times Jim. Hulk, you
       know what’s it like to face the Mastodon, what does Burchill
       have to do to beat him?
       Hogan: It’s hard…really hard. The guy can take a massive amount
       of punishment, can dish out the biggest amount of punishment I
       know. But I know that Burchill can do the same, there’s been
       several superstars took out by The Invasion man, so if Burchill
       can stick to his game and punish Vader as much as he has
       punished others, then he has a good chance.
       TG: Ok…William Regal, one question for you sir. Will The
       Invasion be present for this match?
       WR: I’ve answered this. Davey will be present for moral support
       only. He will not physically interfere, and I trust Bobby Heenan
       to do the same.
       TG: The term “honour amongst villains” is pretty apt there then?
       WR: …You’ll see what being a villain is about soon sunshine if
       you’re not careful.
       Hogan: That won’t be happening brother…
       An awkward silence dawns which is punctured by Grisham regaining
       his composure.
       TG: Er, well. Predictions…William, you’ll be going with Burchill
       then?
       WR: Yes.
       TG: Right…Hulk?
       Hogan: Well, I don’t really like either man, but his physical
       prowess gives it to Vader in my opinion.
       TG: And Jim, your pick?
       JR: For me it’s Vader, I don’t see a way for Vader to win.
       Regal glares at JR but Grisham talks before anything can
       develop.
       TG: Well, if I had my pick I’d say the same as Jim and Hulk, b-
       WR: Well you’re not here to give your opinion you’re hear to ask
       us ours, move on to the next thing…now.
       TG: sighs Ok, so now we go onto the touring schedule for the run
       up to the next, yet to be named PPV. HCW has been in some
       awesome cities so far, such as Denver, Seattle, Boston,
       Honolulu, Anchorage, London, Sydney and right here in Salt Lake
       City tonight. But we are pleased to announce that the first
       Collision post High Voltage will take place in another great
       city…Portland! The Moda Center will play host to Oregon’s first
       HCW show. For Fusion, the capital of Virginia, Richmond will be
       the first stop. The Richmond Coliseum is the arena where that
       show will be held, and then for Collision the people of Vermont
       will get an episode in their state. The Gutterson Fieldhouse in
       Burlington will be the location for that, and then Fusion get a
       trip outside of the United States to one of our great
       commonwealths…Puerto Rico. San Juan’s absolutely spectacular
       José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum will be the site of this. Then, we
       have a bit of a departure from tradition…The Awards Supershow
       will take place just two Collisions and Fusions after High
       Voltage…this will be not a PPV and will be viewable for free in
       your homes as a special treat from us, and this show will take
       place in The Motor City! Detroit, Michigan’s Joe Louis Arena is
       the venue for that great event. Then we go back to Collision,
       who will attend Des Moines, Iowa for a show in the Wells Fargo
       Arena. Fusion then takes place in the state of Wisconsin, home
       of course to the legendary HCW figure Mr. Kennedy…it will take
       part in the largest city, Milwaukee in the BMO Harris Bradley
       Center. Then Collision will have a show in the brilliant city of
       Las Vegas, Nevada! Thomas & Mack Center beware…that shows going
       to be wild! Fusion will round off this amazing cycle in the
       state of Maine. The epically named Androscoggin Bank Colisée in
       Lewiston is the location for the last show before we go to the
       PPV…which is going to take place in the most famous arena in the
       world. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN!
       The panel nod in appreciation at this excellent news. HCW are
       going to the Garden. Grisham grins and addresses the camera.
       TG: Well…before we got there we’ve got to go through High
       Voltage and got to go through this match. There are many
       personal matches tonight, but none stretch back as far as about
       five years for a feud. Let’s take a look…

       The video package opens with old highlights of HCW with the
       infamous team of The Snakes back all those years ago…we see the
       frequent finish of the Stone Cold Stunner into the RKO. We then
       see various highlights of their HCW career since, including
       Orton’s multiple International Title reigns and Austin’s
       Universal one. We go to the first Collision in the cycle.
       [quote author=TheSpirit88 link=topic=6.msg5469#msg5469

       Randy Orton makes his first Collision entrance in over 2 years
       two huge crowd reaction. He and Foley exchange a glance and then
       Orton heads down the ramp. Orton does look around at the
       audience with slight confusion as he hasn't had this many cheers
       since almost as long as it has been since he was last on
       Collision. Christian and Jericho smirk thinking a match with
       them vs Orton will be easy. Foley goes to leave but raises a
       hand as if to way wait a minute, and turns back to the ring and
       raises his mic.
       IC: Oh and one more thing guys. This isn't going to be a
       handicap match. I have a partner for Randy Orton. The best
       partner Orton has had in years. A guy you didn't even know was
       back. Gentlemen, Have a Nice Day!
       Orton stops at the foot of the ramp and turns back to the stage
       with a raised brow as he is now curios as to his partner will
       be. Foley heads through the curtain and for a while nothing
       happens except the fans chanting and random ring crew clearing
       the ring for the match. After a couple of moments:
       [center]
  HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3Umrpux1NM[/center]
       
       As soon as the glass shatters the audience explodes in the
       loudest cheer since Hogan came out to wrestle at the draft.
       Orton gets a very nonchalant grin on his face as Stone Cold
       steps through the curtain and grins at the audience. Jericho and
       Christian suddenly get very serious in the ring, both shocked
       that Stone Cold is here.
       Micheal Cole: Ooh Myyy...
       JBL: Check it out Micheal Cole, we got a Viper and a Rattlesnake
       and they are on the same team!
       Micheal Cole: The Un-Americans have no chance of winning this
       match now!
       Stone Cold marches down the ramp and poses on each ring post
       raising the middle fingers. When he gets to the corner where
       Jericho and Christian are, he makes good and sure to flip them
       off, then raises the fingers the crowd one more time. Orton gets
       in the ring and does his own poses and the ref runs down and
       rings the bell.
       Tag Team Match
       The Un-Americans (Christian Cage & "The Best in the World" Chris
       Jericho vs Randy Orton & "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
       The fans, not expecting another match, were pretty happy to see
       this one unfold, especially because there was a possibility that
       The Un-Americans would be taken down. Jericho had already
       competed earlier on and while Orton is an heel, the Dover's fans
       were cheering for him, probably because they hate the
       Un-Americans more. And of course, it was the in-ring return of
       Stone Cold, one of the most loved wrestlers in HCW's history.
       Orton and Christian started the match and Orton gained the upper
       hand early on. During the first few minutes we see some things
       similar to Cage’s first HCW match, in which he defeated Orton.
       Clearly Orton has grown a lot since then as he block all of
       Cage’s reversal attempts. Orton brought Christian to their
       corner, where he tagged in Stone Cold, to the crowd's delight.
       Austin took care of business early on and showed the fans that
       he hadn't missed a beat. Both men went after each other for
       several minutes and Christian even thougth he had the match won
       after hitting a surprise Spear to Austin, but he kicked out at
       two, to the Un-Americans' shock. The action suddenly went to the
       outside, where almost all hell broke loose, as all four men
       brawled at ringside. Finally, it was brought back inside the
       ring, with Austin tagging in Orton, who went to work on
       Christian, who suddenly fought back. The plan seemed to be for
       Christian to take a lot of the load of the match, due to Jericho
       having competed earlier on and taking a debilitating Spear but
       Christian suddenly tagged in Jericho, as they both worked on
       Orton and made sure that he couldn't tag in Austin. But a
       mistake, minutes later, allowed Orton to make the hot tag to
       Austin, who cleaned house the way only he can... by opening a
       can of whoopa$$ on both Un-Americans, to the crowd's delight. He
       then hit most of his trademark moves but after hitting a
       spinebuster on Jericho and covering, Christian broke the count.
       Orton took care of Christian, bringing them at ringside. Jericho
       tried to apply the Walls on Austin, but he reversed it into a
       cradle, nearly picking up the win. Austin then surprised Jericho
       with the Stone Cold Stunner and to the crowd's delight, picked
       up the win.
       Winners: Randy Orton and Stone Cold at 13:15
       [I]The crowd loudly cheer as the Un-Americans finally got what
       was coming to them. The show ends with Austin and Orton
       celebrating in the ring while the fans enjoy what they’re seeing
       and, as has become the norm, chant “YES!” at the thought of a
       partnership between The Rattlesnake and The Viper. Both
       wrestlers acknowledge the crowd-which has been one of the most
       charismatic and involved crowds Collision’s ever had.[/i]

       saying
       That was all well and good getting that re debut out of the
       system, now a lil piece of advice you should know Randy. Stay
       the hell out of my way. You know what'll happen if you mess up

       JR: WHAT A MATCH!
       JBL: And that's some redemption for the Universal Champion. But
       you gotta admit that Austin showed absolutely no rust in his
       first singles match in over a year. And he did give a lot of
       fits to the champ, who had his toughest match, although
       non-title, in recent months.
       JR: You're right... And now, Cody wants to shake Austin's hand.
       Knowing Austin well, it won't end well...
       JBL: At least, you can't say that Cody isn't a man who lacks
       sportsmanship...
       JR: Austin didn't take his hand but he simply said some stuff to
       him, as Cody leaves to the ramp... Look out! That bastard Randy
       Orton!
       Orton snuck behind Austin and caught him with an RKO, to the
       crowd's heavy displeasure. Orton simply stared down at the
       downed Austin while we went to a commercial break.

       Collision, I demand a match against you, you ass. Now Cody,
       you've improved, definitely, but listen here, there is no way
       you could best me again. I've regained a lot of respect for you,
       but when we come across each other again, you won't beat me

       After the match, Orton celebrated the win on the turnbuckle,
       posing like he always does, to the crowd's mixed reaction... But
       he didn't see a sprinting Rattlesnake coming after him. As Orton
       came down the turnbuckle... BAM! Stone Cold Stunner and Austin

       We then see multiple RKO’s and Stunner’s to various opponents,
       and we then see again the RKO and Stunner to each other before
       we see the two staring each other down.
       TG: That’s sure to be a very physical match indeed…two men who
       don’t really like each other will go one on one…we go to our
       panel now and we’ll start with Hulk Hogan…you know both men very
       well…who has the edge in a Street Fight environment?
       [color=orange]Hogan: Orton…simply put, he is a bit more
       methodical than Austin, but I think these two will have slightly
       different approaches…Austin will take advantage of none of the
       normal in-ring rules applying…the lack of rope breaks, count
       outs and punishments for low blows and the like. Orton is the
       one more likely to do all of that, and start introducing
       difference makers like exposed turnbuckles, steel chairs and
       announce tables into the mix. That’s why I give Orton the edge,
       brother. All things considered, I don’t think the ringside area
       will look the same at the end of the match as it did the start.
       TG: Thanks for that Mr. Hogan, now to you William, what has
       Austin got to overcome if he is to defeat The Viper tonight?
       WR: Well he has to be on his guard…Steve won’t listen to me on
       this one, but he needs to not charge in like a bull in a china
       shop. He could get caught with something he doesn’t want
       too…like an RKO…if he stays on his guard then he might have a
       chance. But Orton’s quicker, and he has no lack of experience.
       TG: I think we would all agree on that, Jim Ross buddy, what say
       you on the matter of Randy Orton…should he consider himself the
       favourite?
       JR: I’m not sure…he springs to mind as the favourite on paper
       but wrestling matches aren’t won on paper. Austin is a crazy SOB
       and a Street Fight fits him perfectly. But it may just fit Orton
       more…
       TG: Ok, it’s prediction time guys. Hulk, who is your pick for
       this match?
       Hogan: In spite of what I said I think Austin is too mad at
       Orton for even Randy to survive his wrath…I’m saying Stone Cold
       for this one.
       TG: Ok…and you William?
       WR: I’m going to say Orton sunshine, he has the edge and I hope
       he wins too.
       TG: And finally Jim?
       JR: I hope Stone Cold beats him…it’ll be good to see him take
       the Viper down a peg.
       TG: Ok, well we shall see, and we will also see what this
       “letter” addressed to Randy Orton is…we’re guessing it’s off a
       person, and they say they will see Orton at High Voltage…who
       knows what it might bebut now it’s time to head to the ring as
       we have got our first match of the pre-show. Let’s head down to
       our ring announcer Tony Chimel!
       The arena is now about 9/10 full, and Chimel takes his position
       in the centre of the ring for his introductions.

       Crimson Deathmatch Championship! The winner will be the first
       man to make his opponent bleed!

       MVP comes swaggering out to his theme to a negative reaction. He
       smirks at the “you suck” chants he is receiving and does the
       “ballin’” pose on the top rope.
       TC: Introducing first, the challenger. From Miami, Florida,
       weighing in at 254 pounds, M….V….P!!!
  HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHU5D2O31vs
       Bryan does his standard Yes routine with the crowd and goes to
       the top rope to pose, but Chimel doesn’t even have chance to
       introduce him as MVP pulls the rope so that Bryan falls on them
       in an uncompromising position. The bell rings and MVP wastes no
       time in punching Bryan and dropping him to the canvas and
       kicking the crap out of Bryan. MVP runs the ropes and hits a
       straight kick to the face. MVP gets hold of Bryan’s CDM belt and
       gives it to the referee, and tells him to “Look after it for
       me”. MVP leaves the ring and already goes for a difference
       maker, a part of the steel steps. MVP slides them in and picks
       them up in time for Bryan getting up and just straight up dumps
       them straight onto Bryan, sending him to the ground.
       Cole: MVP usually shows good and interesting offence, but this
       stipulation is just driving the psycho out of MVP.
       JBL: It’s great isn’t it?
       MVP uses the steps on the downed Bryan again, and then places
       them over Bryan while he is laying down. MVP ascends to the top
       rope and goes for a big Leg Drop from the top onto the steps and
       Bryan, but Bryan is too quick and dodges it. He runs the ropes
       and goes for his running knee, but the strength of MVP means
       he’s able to catch Bryan in mid-air and drop him in a flapjack
       onto the steps to the crowds loud approval. MVP rolls Bryan onto
       his back and-
       JBL: Bryan hasn’t bled from that incredible Flapjack!
       Cole: That’s unbelievable, I felt sure he would!
       MVP stomps away at Bryan’s head and shouts at him to bleed. He
       puts the steps on Bryan’s face just like he did for the knee
       drop, but this time hits one, two, three balling Elbows in an
       attempt to make Bryan bleed. He waits for Bryan to get up and
       looks like he is going for The Play of the day but Bryan hooks
       MVP for the LeBell lock! We see another counter though as it’s
       reversed into a German Suplex and the back of Bryan’s head
       clatters the edge of the steps.
       Cole: Oh my god!
       JBL: The back of Bryan’s head just jarred on the steps…if he
       isn’t bleeding after this then he has an incredible resilience
       to wounds…almost uncanny.
       MVP is furious as it transpires that Bryan is not bleeding. He
       therefore picks Bryan up and shoves him shoulder first into the
       ring post and that makes Bryan sit in the corner in pain. MVP
       puts the steps over Bryan once more and hits a sick Drive By
       kick. The steps and Bryan don’t even move, but you can hear
       damage has been done. MVP does an even quicker run up and does
       it again, and this one makes Bryan lay down. MVP goes to the top
       rope and celebrate as he believes he has won.
       Cole: As far as I am concerned the match isn’t over?
       JBL: You can not tell me that has not opened Bryan up!
       Cole: It hasn’t and here comes Bryan!
       Bryan flies at MVP with one, two clothesline and a big dropkick.
       MVP staggers around and picks the steps up, but Bryan just flies
       at him with a big knee to the steps…the common theme of laying
       the steps on the opponent and doing a big move onto them carries
       on when Bryan lays them on MVP and springs to the top rope
       himself…he goes for a flying headbutt…
       JBL: MVP rolled out of the way!
       Cole: Bryan’s in trouble!
       Deep trouble. MVP has the Playmaker hooked, but Bryan swings
       around and locks in the LeBell lock. After fighting for about 10
       seconds MVP taps out and Bryan jumps off, thinking he has the
       match won, but the referee reminds him he’s got to make MVP
       bleed. Bryan stops and ponders something for a second, then
       leaves the ring to search underneath it and out comes a ring of
       Barbed Wire! MVP is still on the ground and Bryan uses the same
       Barbed Wire version of the LeBell lock that he used to win the
       title at The Draft.
       Cole: And MVP is bleeding!
       JBL: Somehow Bryan retains!
       Winner: Daniel Bryan via Barbed Wire LeBell lock in 7:37.
       Cole: Well we’ll see you soon for the Synergy Tag Title match,
       but now it’s back to Todd Grisham!
       We go back to the skybox with all men looking impressed with
       what they’ve just seen.
       TG: Well…that was a great match, and I’m sure this match that we
       are about to preview will be too…a match between two great
       athletes…let’s see how Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins have
       become such bitter rivals…
       The video opens with Hogan in the ring addressing the crowd
       about a Fusion card back in June.

       Hogan: Now, I've received the word from the doctors that Dolph
       Ziggler is indeed fit to compete this week and he'll open the
       show against the man that won his first two matches in HCW since
       arriving, Seth Rollins. I expect one hell of a match and we'll

       Rollins and Ziggler are up and Ziggler receives a kick to the
       thigh. Ziggler fights back and it's back-and-forth again.
       Rollins throws Ziggler to the ropes, but he ducks a clothesline
       and catches him by surprise with a beautiful jumping side kick,
       reminiscent of Rob Van Dam. He goes for the cover and Rollins
       gets the shoulder up at 2. Ziggler waits for Rollins to get up
       and tries to apply the sleeper hold but Seth brakes it up with a
       backward kick to the gut before hitting a beautiful spinning
       heel kick. Rollins then goes to the top rope, waits for Dolph to
       get up and hits a beautiful Asai Moonsault... But Ziggler kicks
       out at two-and-a-half and Rollins can't believe it!
       Rollins then throws Dolph outside the ring and they begin to
       brawl on the outside. Ziggler goes for a second Zig Zag but Seth
       blocks it and throws Dolph back-first into the guardrail. Seth
       then brings the action back inside. They once again go
       back-and-forth. Ziggler then applies the slepper hold but Seth
       fights back with a jaw breaker before surprising him
       out-of-nowhere...
       JBL: AVADA KEDAVRA! That's it! Ziggler's done!
       JR: Took a lot of energy for Rollins, though. He slowly goes for
       the cover...
       ONE
       TWO
       THRE... NO! Ziggler kicks out at the last second!
       JBL: WOW! I gotta give it to Dolph here. That was a gutsy
       kickout here...
       JR: Ziggler showed a lot of heart at Colleseum and he's doing it
       here tonight.
       Rollins simply can't believe it and he asks the ref how it
       couldn't be a three count. They both are close to the corner.
       Ziggler gets up and charges at Rollins, who sees it coming and
       Dolph inadevrtly hits the referee, who goes down. While Ziggler
       looks at the ref, Rollins brings a steel chair to the ring. He
       tries to hit Ziggler with it but Dolph ducks and then hits Zig
       Zag! The ref is still down though. Another referee runs toward
       the ring as Ziggler covers...
       ONE
       TWO
       THRE... Rollins gets the shoulder up at the last second!
       King: Now, it's Ziggler's turn to can't believe what just
       happened!
       JR: I think everyone in Boise are standing up right now. They
       are showing their appreciation for this excellent opening match.
       Ziggler places Seth on the top rope and goes to try a superplex,
       but Seth fights back. Rollins then surprises Dolph with a
       facerake that the ref didn't see before pushing him off the
       turnbuckle. Rollins turns to the other side, looking at the
       crowd. Ziggler goes up and Seth hits another Asai moonsault
       while pulling the tights. The ref doesn't see it.
       ONE
       TWO
       THREE!
       JR: The bastard had to win by pulling the tights!
       JBL: Anything to win, JR. Another impressive performance by
       Rollins here tonight!
       Winner: Seth Rollins via pinfall (Asai Moonsault) at 14:56
       Rollins celebrates on the top rope and slides under the rope.

       Seth Rollins: Ziggler, you said you would shut me up. You did

       I shut you up. Just like I'll shut anyone that gets in my way

       Winner goes on to face Samoa Joe for the International Title at

       The crowd was visibly against Ziggler, as we saw plenty of
       security surrounding the ring. All three men had the advantage
       at some point for the first twenty minutes of this match and
       every time Ziggler gets a shot, the crowd responds with heavy
       boos. Then, Rollins surprised Ziggler with Avada Kedavra but
       before he can get the three count, Ryder saved the day to some
       boos from the fans. Then, Ryder got Rollins with the Rough
       Ryder, only to see Ziggler break the count to some heavy boos.
       The ending came as Ryder was out on the outside. Rollins tries
       for another Avada Kedavra, but Ziggler ducks down and then
       catches him with the Zig Zag for the win and a spot at BOD VI
       against Samoa Joe for the International Title!

       Both men get up but Ziggler catches his opponent with a
       belly-to-back suplex. He then sweeps Rollins's legs to bring him
       down. Ziggler gets behind Rollins and waits for him to get up.
       The crowd thinks that he's going for the Zig Zag, but he
       actually hits a beautiful German Suplex. Orton counts... And
       Rollins kicks out at two. Ziggler looks at Orton who simply
       tells him that it was two. The champ throws Rollins into the
       ropes but he ducks the clothesline and hits Ziggler with a
       jumping clothesline. Rollins quickly tries to hit his trademark
       turnbuckle powerbomb, but Ziggler counters with a sunset flip!
       Orton hits the mat twice but the challenger kicks out at two.
       Dolph goes for a fireman's carry but Rollins slips out of there
       and goes towards the ropes. Bad idea, as Ziggler clotheslines
       him out of the ring. This time, Rollins is in the side where
       most of the heels are placed. Ziggler tries for a baseball slide
       but Rollins ducks out of the way. Dolph is now out of the ring
       and he's engaged in a quick brawl with the heels outside. It
       doesn't end up well for him and after they beat him some, they
       bring him back in, where Rollins continues the attack with
       stomps. He then gets the champ up and executes a chop and a
       beautiful dropkick which brings Ziggler down.
       He then continues the offense by dropping his knee on Ziggler's
       head several times before covering. Orton counts but Dolph kicks
       out at two. Ziggler gets thrown out of the ring, but this time,
       the group of faces makes sure that Dolph is protected. Rollins
       decides to go for a running somersault plancha... But Ziggler
       moves out of the way and Rollins hits his head hard on the
       floor. He looks out cold and Ziggler quickly throws him back
       inside, where he prepares for his finisher. Zig Zag attempt...
       And a nasty counter into a jawbreaker by the challenger! Rollins
       makes sure to be on the right side of the ring as he goes to the
       apron. He waits for Ziggler to get up... Springboard clothesline
       attempt... Ziggler ducks and Rollins rolls on his feet, only to
       receive a sick inverted DDT as a result. Both men are down and
       the Sydney's crowd is loving it!
       Both men slowly get up and they begin an exchange of punches,
       kicks and chops and the crowd's investment is at an high, right
       now. Rollins tries for Avada Kedavra, but the champion ducks and
       then hits a superkick of his own. He covers... Rollins barely
       gets the shoulder up before three! Ziggler looks frustrated
       right now and he once again stares at Orton, wondering if it
       really was a two count. Orton tells him that Rollins got the
       shoulder up in time. Ziggler goes to pick up his opponent, but
       Seth catches him by surprise with a kick to the midsection,
       dropping Ziggler to his hands and knees before hitting that
       running pushing stomp to the head he loves to call the Blackout!
       Rollins hooks the leg... Orton counts...
       ONE
       TWO
       THRE... Ziggler kicks out!
       It's Rollins's turn to look at Orton, telling him how in the
       world that wasn't a three-count. Orton and Rollins seems to have
       an heated exchange, but it immediately stops as there's a little
       bit of ruckus going on with the lumberjacks. Orton immediately
       goes to try to stop it, but as he has his back turned, Ziggler
       surprises Rollins with the Zig Zag![/i]
       JR: Ziggler's three seconds away from retaining the title!
       King: But our referee is too busy with what's going on outside
       the ring.
       JBL: He's simply doing his job, King.
       JR: His job should be to make the count and Ziggler is not a
       happy man. I think he just shouted some stuff at our special
       ref.
       King: He's ****ed off and he has the right to be... But I don't
       think it's a good idea to talk angrily to a man like Orton.
       JR: And Ziggler just pushed the referee... Tempers are high,
       right now.
       JBL: I got to admit, Randy's keeping his cool far more than I
       expected.
       JR: OH MY GOD! As Ziggler turned around, Rollins surprised him
       with that diving knee strike! This could be it!
       King: And now Orton will make the count!!!
       ONE
       TWO
       THREE!
       JR: And we have a new International Champion!
       Winner and NEW International Champion: Seth Rollins via pinfall
       at 24:34
       King: The turning point has to be Randy Orton being "distracted"
       by what was happening to the outside...
       JBL: You're making it sound like it was intentional... He was
       doing his job as the referee of this match... I know Ziggler got
       a bad break out there, but it is what it is. We should celebrate
       the arrival of Seth Rollins on the HCW scene! Since his debut,
       he won most of his matches, got the opportunity tonight and
       defeated a pretty good champion for his title.
       JR: You're right, but I'm pretty sure that Dolph will have
       something to say about that...
       As Orton raises Rollins's head, Ziggler slowly gains his senses.
       Rollins leaves the ring, celebrating the win. Ziggler goes at
       Orton to talk about the ending...
       JR: RKO! That bastard!
       JBL: I knew that Orton wouldn't let that push be unpunished!
       King: That's not the Randy Orton we're used to see lately...
       JR: Actually, I think we're seeing the Randy Orton of old...
       The show ends with Orton staring at the downed Ziggler.[/center]

       *Seth walks to the ring slowly sporting a new theme song.
       Throughout he raises his title high above his head. When he
       enters the ring he hangs the title on the top rope. He askes for
       a michraphone properly. He seems in a better mood than ussual,
       he is not all smiles but he is not in a dreadful mood either.*
       Seth: Justice always prevails, like I said last week. People
       started doubting my skills. You know who won the International
       championship? I did! How's that for skills. I am the next big
       thing. I am on my way to the top. Hell, I'm International
       champ... I am at the top!
       *Seth licks his lips and thinks about what he's going to do.*
       Seth: Dolph, I gotta admit, is a skilled man. He's very talented
       and a great competitor. But still, Dolph, at best you are a
       solid B+. I, on the other hand, am an A++++. Dolph your face is
       not a face of a champion.
       I couldn't have done it if it wasn't for 1 man. I owe it all to
       him. He influenced me, he is my hero, he is Jim Cornette. I'd
       like to thank him for not being blind and recognizing greatness
       when it's right in front of him. So at this time I'd like to
       offer the greatest Fusion GM my services. Mr. Cornette if you
       need a body guard, that's me. If you need an assistant, that's
       me. If anybody gives you trouble and you need some back-up, I'm
       there. Anything you need, I'm first.

       Cornette: So at the draft special, Dolph Ziggler will in fact
       get his rematch for the International Title against Seth
       Rollins...  And Randy Orton.  This will be a Triple Threat
       Match!
       Orton has a smile on his face as Cornette leaves the ramp and we
       go to yet... Another break.
       Ziggler's music hits and he isn't showing off. He just walks
       straight to the ring before his match. He has a microphone and
       steps in the ring to address the French crowd.
       DZ: Ratings. That's what I bring to the table. Ratings. The deal
       is this. I have been the go to guy, saving people from bad
       fates, and this is what happens. I effectively got stripped of
       the International Title. Me and my friends are getting
       constantly attacked by those British men, and it's having an
       effect on me. Maybe it's time to change? Could I go it alone?
       Can I break off from the pack and chase this without being
       distracted by other things? Or maybe I step things up, club
       together with my friends, fight the vermin of Fusion and get the
       title back!
       The crowd cheers and Ziggler gets ready for his match.
       October 22nd, 2013
       Tag Team Match (Winning Team gets to pick the losing team's
       opponents on the next Fusion)
       Seth Rollins & Triple H
       vs.
       Dolph Ziggler & Kofi Kingston
       HHH and Ziggler start the match. HHH starts up strong, grounding
       the faster Ziggler early on. He applies several submission
       holds, including an abdominal stretch. Ziggler fights back and
       drops Hunter down with a wicked superkick. Both men tag their
       partners in and Kofi gets the better hand on the International
       Champion. For several minutes, they go back-and-forth until Kofi
       misses a flying crossbody.
       Rollins then tags in Hunter, who works on Kofi's ribs. Kofi
       fights back, though, to the crowd's delight. He then throws
       Hunter out of the ring, but as he goes to dive towards him,
       Hunter ducks out of the way and Kofi lands hard on the
       barricade. Hunter quickly brings the action back inside and hits
       the Pedigree on Kofi... Only to see Ziggler making the save!
       Ziggler attacks Hunter with all he's got and he makes sure to
       keep Hunter as far away from Kofi until the ref asks him to
       return to his corner.
       Hunter decides to go after Ziggler, but the distraction allows
       Kofi to surprise Hunter with an inside cradle... And Hunter just
       gets the shoulder up before three, that was close! HHH continues
       the attack on Kofi, with several neckbreakers, but Kofi won't
       stay down. Finally, a mistake allows Ziggler to finally get in
       the action and he receives one hell of a reaction as he cleans
       the house. But he didn't see Rollins get a tag in. As he looks
       ready to hit Zig Zag on Hunter, Rollins goes up top and he hits
       the same move he used to win the International Title, the Flying
       Knee Strike. Cover... Ziggler puts his feet on the bottom rope
       before the three count... Very close!
       Rollins tries for Avada Kedavra, but Ziggler ducks and dropkicks
       Rollins out of the ring. Hunter distracts the referee. Ziggler
       goes outside... And gets blasted by the International Title
       belt! Ziggler's out and bleeding, too. Hunter eliminates Kofi
       out of the equation as Rollins brings Dolph back in, covers and
       steals one for the team! Hunter and Rollins will decide on who
       Ziggler and Kofi's opponents will be for next week.
       Winner: Seth Rollins and Triple H at 28:06
       Rollins and HHH celebrated their victory as we went to another
       commercial break.

       more important than winning a title is retaining it. That means
       that in a way, winning my match at the draft is even more
       important than the title itelf. Anyone can reach the top, the
       hard part is staying at the top. Only true champions can remain
       at the top and believe me im a true champion. Im a just champion
       with justice in my heart. At the Draft I have to win. Only if I
       win I will prove that I am where I am because I have to be
       there. Because I am a champion. I have to win this. I don't
       question my skills and because out of the three people in our
       match I have the most to lose, I will win because I simply want
       to win the most. I still gotta say something, Randy, Dolph get
       ready for a beating of your life.

       overshadowed by unclean tactics, or Jim Cornette, or Randy
       Orton, or someone or something getting in the way. Somehow, I've
       never actually pinned you one or one, and that bites away at me.
       I may not be able to give you your rematch on Collision but I
       can at High Voltage! And I want to beat you Seth...but beating
       you once will not be enough. Therefore Seth, I challenge you to
       your rightful rematch at High Voltage...to be contested in a two
       out of three falls match!
       Think it over. I'll be waiting for your response.
       Ziggler smashes the camera like Rollins usually does.

       *Seth Rollins is in a dark room backstage like usual recording
       himself*
       Seth: Lately I feel that I've been terribly underestimated. I
       feel like everyone has forgotten what I am capable of. I feel
       that people no longer believe that I am the next big thing.
       Well, I am sick and tired of being held back and underrated. I
       am a former International champion and pretty soon, that
       championship will once again be around my waist. I will truly
       SHOW THE WORLD why I must be the Internarional champion... not
       Dolph. Believe in Seth Rollins.

       Jericho looks for a steel chair... As he comes to the ring, his
       intentions are well-known. But suddenly comes from the crowd the
       International Champion, Dolph Ziggler, who turns Jericho around
       and goes on the attack, to the crowd's shock. The people in
       Boston didn't expect Ziggler to show up at all... Ziggler is in
       control and tries to hit the Zig Zag but Jericho catches the
       ropes to stop Ziggler's momentum. As Dolph charges...
       Codebreaker! The fans in Boston don't like it, but Jericho is
       too busy staring at Ziggler that he forgot his true opponent of
       the night, who was suddenly on the rope. As Jericho turns
       around... DIVING KNEE STRIKE to the head!
       The ref finally regained his senses enough to count the
       three-count, giving Rollins a much-needed victory!
       Winner: Seth Rollins at 17:46
       After the ref raises Rollins's hand, he suddenly sees Ziggler on
       the outside, looking in. They begin to exchange words and
       believe me, they aren't inviting themselves to the next
       after-hour party, that's for sure. Ziggler suddenly dragged
       Rollins to the ringside area and they started brawling, to the
       crowd's roars, willing to see them go before their
       highly-anticipated matchup at High Voltage.
       It forced many backstage guys to came and split those two apart.
       The announcers made mention that Mick Foley wasn't probably
       happy of what just occurred and the fact that Ziggler decided to
       show up unnoticed when he decided to not compete in the show. We
       went to a commercial break with Ziggler and Rollins jawing at
       each other.

       rest of it...great. Now to find a bar in Atlanta that shows
       Collision...

       *Seth is backstage recording himself in a dark room like
       always.*
       Seth: Ziggler, you'r time as International champion is coming to
       an end. On Collision you got your filthy hands on me and I will
       use that as fuel when I beat you down and reclaim what s mine.
       You may be refusin to wrestle in Collision arenas but at High
       Voltage you won't have that excuse.
       My favorite part of our match is thay I won't only beat you once
       but mulltiple times being that our match is a two out of three
       falls match. Enjoy your last moments as champion Dolphin. At
       High Voltage everyone will believe in Seth Rollins!

       Ziggler is in a bar in Atlanta, drinking beer.
       DZ: Seth, I've seen your comments, and something surprised me.
       Seth, nobody has forgotten what you're capable of. Me the least
       out of anyone. You've beaten me three times...and I've been here
       in various spells spanning five years, and only Randy Orton,
       Cody Rhodes, Andre The Giant and unfortunately Alberto Del Rio
       can. Which, for all the matches I've had here is not bad. I
       believe in Seth Rollins...but just not against me. You won't win
       this time Seth...and for one reason. Your fear of losing is
       greater than mine. This for you is make or break...you win this
       match, it legitimises you as an International Champion...if you
       lose, you're out of rematches, you're out of chances and all
       you'll become is a name on a list. A champion that couldn't
       follow it up with a solid reign. Now, a few of my reigns haven't
       exactly been solid, a couple of times I've lost it right off the
       bat like you did and I think everyone remembers what happened
       when I won The Universal Title.
       Seth...I'm a measuring stick around here. My name is buried in
       an important chapter in HCW history. You, are just a name in a
       list of those worthy of an acknowledgement at the moment. You
       win, you change that. You lose, you don't. I win, nothing
       changes. I lose, nothing changes.
       But don't let that fool you Seth. Even though I maintain I have
       less to lose than you, I'm still up for winning. Mr. Ratings
       isn't Mr. Ratings without a title belt on him. I'm not wanting
       to give this up just yet. And when I do beat you, I must
       admit...I'll enjoy seeing you crumble as you maintain your
       crappy, name on a list, midcard status.
       You'd better hope you prove me wrong Seth, for your sake.
       And with that, Ziggler leaves the cameras vicinity to replenish
       his empty beer Glass.
       [/quote]
       We see very quick flashes of their previous match ups and then a
       split screen with both men holding the belt up high. We then
       return to Grisham.
       TG: Wow, wow, wow. This one’s going to be a wrestling classic, I
       for one can’t wait. It’s time to go to our panel…Jim, how will
       Dolph be successful tonight?
       JR: Todd, he’s got to make sure to stay on the offensive, as
       soon as you let Rollins get some momentum you don’t stand a
       chance. Both men have very similar offences, and have faced each
       other multiple times, so I hope Ziggler has took time during his
       little rest period to study Rollins, which may also give him the
       edge in this one.
       TG: Alrighty then, it’s over to Hulk Hogan to see what he thinks
       Rollins has got to do…
       Hogan: Well brother, Rollins has got a reputation for cheating
       against Ziggler to win…if he tries that, he can easy find
       himself a fall down, which he can’t afford to do. If he plays by
       the rules and focuses on hitting his main bullet, The Avada
       Kedavra, Ziggler’s 3rd International Title reign may be coming
       to an early end.
       TG: And William Regal, who does the stipulation favour?
       WR: While Ziggler has been having a bit of time off, Rollins has
       been busting his arse in the ring for three out of four
       Collisions. This is a two out of three falls match with is based
       on being able to last the distance. You tell me who has the edge
       in this match.
       TG: Well, ok. Prediction time…Hulk?
       Hogan: I’ll go head over heart…Seth Rollins to win by two to
       one, the guy has beat Ziggler many a time and I think he will do
       it tonight…
       TG: And you William?
       WR: Got to be Rollins for me too, two straight I think.
       TG: But you just said Ziggler has the edge…
       WR: Well now I’m telling you that Rollins will win two straight.
       Problem?
       TG: No, no problem…what about you Jim?
       JR: Well, never ever, ever, ever rule out Mr. Ratings…I’m not
       going to, 2-1 Ziggler for me.
       TG: Thanks for that…and I’m hearing Matt Striker has a certain
       number one contender…Matt?

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       We go to Matt who looks happy to be interviewing…
       Striker: Ladies and Gentlemen, present with me now is…Scott
       Steiner!
       Steiner is wearing his glasses and sniffs in recognition of his
       introduction.
       Striker: Scott, you-
       SS: Scott, you…what? You…what Matt? Tell me what you were going
       to say?
       Striker: You are just-
       SS: Ah…that’s fine…now Big Poppa Pump knows. You are just hours
       away from defeating Cody Rhodes for The Universal Championship
       of the Universe, thus retaining your career in HCW…that’s what
       you were about to say, wasn’t it Matthew?
       Striker: Well actually-
       SS: ACTUALLY NOTHING! Ladies and Gentlemen…another doubter right
       here in Matthew Striker. Matt…Destiny is calling me, opening my
       eager eyes…
       Striker: Isn’t that from a Killers Song, Mr. Bright-
       SS: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE IT’S FROM, Mr. Striker….Big Poppa
       Pump hates to use those painful phrases on you but this time is
       the only time their required…because tonight…there is no way…and
       BIG POPPA PUMP means no way that Cody Rhodes is leaving Salt
       Lake City with that belt. Cody…you put Big Poppa Pump in the
       Figure Four Leglock and right before Big Poppa Pump passed
       out…Big Poppa Pump told you that your end was near. Big Poppa
       Pump would like to stick by that statement…and Big Poppa Pump
       will tell you the same thing just as Big Poppa Pump sticks you
       in The Recliner, or just before you get with a Screwdriver…or
       maybe Big Poppa Pump will mark it on Big Poppa Pump’s Lead Pipe
       with a marker pen…either way, your end is tonight.
       Big Poppa Pump is your hookup, High Voltage is what you need to
       look up.
       HOLLA! If ya hear me!
       We go back to a bewildered Grisham…
       TG: Well Scott Steiner was adopting a different approach to an
       interview there…strange, strange indeed. Our next preview has
       been billed as "The Last Encounter"! Kurt Angle will compete in
       what will be his last match in HCW, at least for quite some
       time, and he'll go one-on-one with the man he has had several
       outstanding matches in the last two years, Brock Lesnar. Let's
       see how those two man have been on that collision course that
       will conclude at High Voltage.
       The segment starts with a video package of the four previous
       encounters between both men.
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=51.msg5594#msg5594
       date=1389325644]Angle, who should look frustrated after such a
       short loss, looks actually happy. Well, he's still holding his
       ribs, in obvious pain. Something's going wrong, here. Angle asks
       for a mic and awaits for Edge to leave the ramp.
       Angle: It has been a rough few months for me, lately... Ever
       since losing the Universal Championship, I've failed times and
       times again to regain some gold, the last time being at the
       Draft a week ago. Everything I was doing so well at the start of
       this year has been gone... And while the best way to deal with
       this would be to train harder and do everything I can to return
       to the form I had back then... It has been tough lately to put
       off the work needed to do so...
       I'm not the man who usually takes much air time to say what I
       need to say, so I'll be brief...
  HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsoyKcpDUno
       If the crowd has been hot for most of the night, well... This
       was even more fuel to the fire! Angle, in shock, slowly turns
       his head towards the ramp...
       JR: OH MY GOD! BROCK LESNAR!
       JBL: What is he doing up here? It's the first time we see him
       since the Awards Supershow in March...
       King: The night he lost his final match to Kurt Angle, of all
       people.
       Brock stays on the ramp, microphone in hand, as Angle still
       can't believe he's here.
       Lesnar: Kurt... I know what you were about to say... You were
       announcing that you're leaving HCW, am I right?
       The crowd suddenly chants No! at Angle but his face says it
       best.
       Angle: Indeed, Brock, I am...
       Lesnar: Well... Not yet!
       Angle's looking perplexed, wondering what Brock means.
       Lesnar: Before you walk out that door and leave these fans
       behind, you have one last thing to deal with. As far as I'm
       concerned, you still have one last score to settle...
       The crowd knows what he wants and they go as wild as they can
       be, suddenly screaming Yes! many many times. Angle now
       understands what he means, but he's unsure.
       Lesnar: I think that me and you have one last match left... And
       why not make it happen at High Voltage, Kurt?
       Angle seems lost in his thoughts... But then, he looks at
       Lesnar...
       Angle: Sincerely... I thought you were gone for good, Brock...
       But since you wanna settle this... The roles are reversed from
       the last time we fought, Brock...
       Brock folds his arms with a smile on his face.
       Angle: You want one last match between us? You want it at High
       Voltage? If the company wants it.... You've got it!
       The Nashville's fans are going wild while Lesnar simply smiles
       at Kurt, who's now focused as he's never been in quite some
       time.
       Angle: But... If we settle this... No shenanigans... No
       stipulations... Just you and I... Just a simple match between
       two of the best in HCW's history...
       Lesnar: I wouldn't want it any other way, Kurt... I'll see you
       in Utah...
       The crowd goes wild as the show ends with a staredown between
       both men and the commentators hyping what they've just
       seen.[/quote]
       [quote author=Panda link=topic=6.msg5547#msg5547
       date=1388702906]
       Lesnar: Kurt, you and I have been destined for this for a long,
       long time. Our dynasties were forged around each other, in HCW
       and WWF we would not have become who we are without the other.
       Every achievement one of us has is matched or beaten by the
       other, and now it seems only fitting that we see each other out
       the door. This is one hell of a rubber match, and it, more than
       anything in our history, will stand as proof of who the better
       man really is. Good luck, you'll need it.[/quote]
       [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg5551#msg5551
       date=1388711908]Angle: You're right, Brock. Our careers have
       intertwined a lot... The last time we faced, Brock... I had far
       more to lose than you did... I had to defeat you to make my
       Universal Title reign look legitimate... Now... there's no title
       to gain... The only thing you and I want is to finally determine
       who's the best between us. Two of the most technically gifted
       wrestlers this company ever saw... I know that I will need to
       bring the absolute best of me, because you will never sleep if
       your legacy gets tainted by the fact that there's one man that
       has gotten the best of you in your entire career...
       And there will be no luck involved, Brock. You've beaten me and
       I've beaten you... I'll see you at High Voltage... Just stay
       healthy, would you?[/quote]
       JBL: Of all the great rivalries HCW ever had, I don't think of
       any that every single encounter was outstanding... Except these
       two. And I cannot wait to call this outstanding match.
       Cena: You can bet that I'll be watching that match if I can.
       Kurt and Brock are two of the greatest athletes this world has
       ever seen and they'll decide who's the best at High Voltage, in
       only a way fitting of those two competitors.
       Hogan: Geez, they could go over 30 minutes... They're so good at
       countering each other... And they've competed before in ironman
       matches so the stamina won't be an issue...
       JR: There'll be one winner in this match... But you can bet that
       the biggest winners will be the HCW fans...
       The video package ends up with Lesnar and Angle in in-ring
       action before the image stops with both men face-to-face.
       TG: I'm out of words to express how excited I am for that
       matchup. JR, do you think Brock's absence will have him a little
       bit rusty when the bell will ring.
       JR: With Brock, it wouldn't surprise me if it ain't the case.
       I've seen Brock at the gym lately and believe me, he's as good
       as he's ever been. Expect him to look like the beast we all know
       and love.
       TG: Hulk, Kurt hasn't been the same man since losing the
       Universal Title many months ago... Can he give us one last great
       match?
       Hogan: He can, Todd. I'm expecting him to bring his absolute
       best against Brock. He always did that, win or lose.
       TG: William, any comment on this match?
       Regal: A battle of technical greats... Expect this match to also
       go over thirty minutes.
       TG: So, who wins this one?
       Regal: Kurt's in Brock's head after beating him the last time. I
       think he gets one last counter to pull off the victory.
       TG: Hogan, who you have winning this one?
       Hogan: The fans... Seriously, I expect Brock to bring an effort
       like the dominant beast that he's been for most of his career. A
       close win for him.
       TG: Jim, your pick?
       JR: Brock has that extra gear that the best of all-time usually
       have... Both will bring their best but I see Brock having the
       last word and the fans going wild for that one.
       TG: Well, I'm pretty sure that the people in Utah are just glad
       to be able to see that historic encounter... Now, we have Matt
       with a guest that I'm sure has some stuff to say. Matt...
       Already with Striker is MICK FOLEY!

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Striker: With me now is the Co-CEO of HCW and GM of Collision,
       Mick Foley. Mick, we saw on HCW.com that you said you are not
       worried about the Hell in a Barbedwire Cell match. Now that we
       have reached the big night, have your feelings changed?
       IC: Not at all. As a matter of fact, I am raring to go. I am
       ready!
       Striker: Any thoughts on Triple H's accusations that you are
       trying to humiliate him?
       IC: Like I told him, he doesn't need me for that, does plenty
       himself. I am in this match to both keep the sane refs safe and
       also to make sure that Heyman keep his greasy mitts out of the
       match. I will know by the end of this if Hunter is involved in
       his return.
       Striker: Any thoughts on the rest of the card?
       IC: Its a loaded show, I am honetly pumped for it all. I do want
       to see the ladies end there squabble and I do want see tag
       champions crowned. I also want to see how Steiner fares against
       a fresh Cody Rhodes and how it compares to facing Cody who just
       survived a match with Taz. There is a lot to look forward to
       here.
       Striker: Lastly, and words for the Un-Americans?
       IC: Well, I hope they don't take things too far. If they do
       there will be consequences. I hope facing his own brother tells
       Christian something about how he has been acting of late. If you
       don't mind Matt I need to go take care of running the pay per
       view!
       Striker: Thank you Mick.
       We see Mick walk off to the left and Striker grins positively at
       the camera.
       TG: Thanks, Matt. Our next preview is a match we never thought
       we would see a few months ago. All three members of the
       Beautiful People will face each other in a Triple Threat
       Anything Goes Match... And the losers leave HCW altogether!
       Let's see how one of the best stables in the last year will see
       it’s end at High Voltage.
       We start the package with the BP all together, doing their
       entrance. We then see the group win the Synergy Tag Team Title
       and defend it against some good teams.
       [quote author=Babe link=topic=6.msg4902#msg4902
       date=1378253674]Roman has his arm around Velvet, walking with
       her backstage after her intense match against the Unamericans.
       Trailing behind them is Lacey who is helping Madison also.
       Renee: Ladies, ladies! If I could just get a comment on your
       match out there.
       Lacey: Sure, what do you want?
       Renee: Well, first of all, congratulations on that excellent
       title defense! What are your thoughts on defeating and possibly
       shutting up the Un-americans?
       Velvet: I am unsurprised at the outcome. These titles are called
       "Synergy" Tag Team Championships for a reason... the Beautiful
       People are the very definition of synergy in this company. We're
       outmatched in strength and size but no one has the tag team
       cohesiveness that we do, and that is why we are the most
       successful Tag Team Champions in the history of this
       company.[/quote]
       Then, we see the BP lose the Synergy Title against the Invasion
       at the Draft.
       [quote author=Babe link=topic=6.msg5404#msg5404
       date=1386722746]Straight after their match, the Beautiful People
       are storming through the corridors backstage, extremely angry
       after their loss.
       Velvet: Madison! You had one job to do! ONE JOB! HOW DID YOU
       MESS THAT UP?!
       Madison: Were you there to help me VelVel? No! So don't blame me
       for the loss when it's your fault.
       Velvet: My fault? What the hell have you been smoking, Madison?
       That loss is entirely your fault.
       Velvet kicks over a trash can and Roman and Lacey eye her
       cautiously.
       Velvet: I have been carrying this stable since day one, and I
       was the one who won the Synergy Tag titles in the first place.
       What do I get in return? A dud of a partner who loses all the
       time and a dimwitted nympho who doesn't even realise that we
       broke up her relationship with Ted.
       Lacey's mouth falls open and Velvet gasps, realising she just
       let out a huge secret.
       Lacey: You... did... what?
       Madison: No, Lacey, don't listen to her, she -
       
       Lacey: You want to talk about breaking relationships? Fine.
       Madison, did you know that before he left, Ryback wanted to tell
       you that he loved you. You know why you didn't get that message?
       Because Velvet here had him escorted out before he reached you.
       How does THAT feel, Madison?
       Madison looks over to Velvet who is now cowering back to the
       wall.
       Madison: You did that?
       Velvet: It... it was for your own good.
       Suddenly, Madison charges forward and tackles Velvet down onto
       the ground. Lacey soon joins in, pulling Madison off Velvet and
       decking her with a slap in the face before turning her
       frustration to Velvet. Roman tries to separate the three
       now-former best friends but can't.
       Roman: Security! The Beautiful People have gone wild![/quote]

       date=1387178917]Lacey is seen walking backstage in her new
       setting of Fusion with a small piece of paper in her hand. She
       opens a door with a sign on it saying "BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE" and
       walks in, where she sees Madison sitting in there with her back
       turned to the door.
       Lacey: What the hell are you doing in here?! Did you get this
       message as well?
       Lacey holds up a slip of paper saying "MEET IN LOCKER ROOM
       IMMEDIATELY".
       Madison: Oh please, Lacey, it says "Beautiful People" and I'm
       pretty sure the most beautiful person on the HCW roster is me.
       Lacey: Well you know what I think? I think you're -
       Roman Reigns appears behind her and he slams the door shut.
       Roman: Ladies, ladies, I have to make this quick since I'm not
       on the Fusion roster. You girls have to stop this fighting and
       bickering. You're in line for a Synergy tag team rematch and you
       can't go into that match thinking of a win if you can't stand
       each other.
       Lacey: Roman, tell Madison that she has to apologise for
       breaking up my relationship and I will contemplate forgiving
       her.
       Madison: You know what, Roman? Tell Lacey that I said that she
       is a complete waste of -
       Roman: Girls! Enough! You're supposed to be best friends! What
       happened to "cleansing the world one ugly person at a time" huh?
       Female domination?
       Madison and Lacey look at each other and attempt a half smile.
       Roman: I have to get back to Collision but seeing as you two are
       on the same brand, it has to be you who represents the Beautiful
       People in the Synergy rematch. Now get back on the same page and
       show everyone why you're the greatest stable in HCW history.
       Roman exits the locker room and Madison and Lacey slowly
       approach each other.
       Lacey: He's right... friends?
       Madison: Friends forever!
       Madison and Lacey are seen hugging to end the scene.[/quote]
       We then see the BP regaining the Synergy titles on Fusion.
       [quote author=Babe link=topic=6.msg5610#msg5610
       date=1389609293]Pink lights dart around the arena as Velvet Sky,
       Madison Rayne, Lacey Von Erich and Roman Reigns make their way
       into the arena all dressed in elegant evening gowns to a mixed
       reaction from the crowd, mostly boos. Velvet pushes into the
       front and poses while a clearly irritated Madison and Lacey
       stand beside her, each with a Synergy championship slung over
       their shoulders. The three girls strut down the ramp and Velvet
       lets the pigeons loose without Madison or Lacey.
       After their over-the-top entrance, Velvet calls for a
       microphone.
       Velvet: Thank you thank you so much for the warm reception! We
       deserve it! Thank you! Yes, after a brief moment without OUR tag
       team gold, we are the champions yet again!
       Madison snatches the microphone out of Velvet's hand with a
       plastic smile on her face.
       Madison: That's right. While Velvet here has been dodging
       matches and getting Roman to do her dirty work, I was busy
       getting things done on Fusion and that is the reason why we are
       the Synergy Tag Team Champions.
       Lacey comes forward and takes the microphone out of Madison's
       hand a bit aggressively.
       Lacey: If I remember correctly, I made the winning pinfall
       therefore I am the reason why we are the Synergy Tag Team
       Champions.
       Sensing that something is wrong, Roman leans forward and tries
       to calm down all three women but to no avail. Velvet leans
       forward to the microphone in Lacey's hand.
       Velvet: Wow Lacey, big congrats. You managed to win your first
       match in what seems like forever! And how did you do it? Oh!
       That's right! NWO made the distraction for you!
       Lacey: Yeah? You wanna go there? At least I knew I could win.
       You knew you couldn't beat Eddie Guerrero so you got yourself
       intentionally disqualified. We all know you didn't leave your
       hair straightener on because, to be honest Vel Vel, your hair
       looked like CRAP that night.
       Madison begins cackling and pointing at them as Velvet shoves
       Lacey who retaliates by shoving her back.
       Velvet: I have carried this stable our ENTIRE time in this
       company! You want to fault me for what I did to Ryback and Ted?
       Fine. You know why I did that? Because you two did not have your
       head in the game! We wouldn't have been the Synergy Tag Team
       Champions for as long as we were if it weren't for me!
       Lacey: Oh please, we knew what we were doing all along. Well, at
       least I can say I did.
       Madison: Really, Lacey? From what I remember, you were busy
       losing matches because you were too damn busy thinking about
       your sweet ol' Teddy back at home. News flash Lacey: he didn't
       really love you!
       The crowd pops as Lacey lunges at Madison who steps back and
       begins laughing at her.
       Velvet: The reason you were always left out of tag team matches,
       Lacey, is because you suck. Plain and simple. Everyone knows you
       are the worst wrestler on this team.
       Lacey: I'm sorry, what have you done in your HCW career, Velvet?
       Madison was the first woman in Money in the Bank. I was the
       first woman in Elimination Chamber. What have you done? Oh
       right. You were the first woman to get on your back for every
       man in that locker room.
       Madison: Ha! You know that's the only way someone with her
       personality could get a man.
       Velvet's mouth falls open and she swipes at Lacey who manages to
       evade the attack as the crowd begins to chant “FIGHT! FIGHT!
       FIGHT! FIGHT!”
       Lacey: Notice how you were the only one without a man Vel Vel?
       Do you know why? I sure do.
       Madison: Well, I wouldn't call Ted a man...
       Lacey shoots a dark look at Madison who steps back.
       Velvet: You two have held me back for way too long. You two...
       are kicked out of the Beautiful People, effective immediately.
       Madison: Who died and made you Queen? Everyone knows I am the
       true Queen Bee of this stable and of this company.
       Lacey: You want to talk royalty? I am a Von Erich!
       Madison: And even with that last name, you still can't wrestle
       to save yourself.
       Lacey drops her Synergy belt onto the mat and charges at Madison
       and takes her down with a spear tackle to a huge applause from
       the crowd. Velvet steps in and pulls Lacey off and she brings
       her down by the hair. Velvet turns her attention to Madison and
       the two roll around, tearing at each other's hair while Roman
       gets in to try and separate them. Roman manages to get Madison
       off and as he tries to calm her down, Lacey locks in the Claw on
       Velvet who waves her arms around dramatically.
       Roman: Girls! Enough!
       Velvet gets down on her knees as Lacey tightens her grip.
       Madison pulls Lacey off and drops her with her finisher, the
       Rayne Drop. She gets up and waves around to the crowd before
       turning around to face Velvet. The two women charge at one
       another and drop each other with a running facebuster. All three
       women are down and out as Roman tries to check on all three
       women.[/quote]

       date=1390775595]As the security are dealing with Orton and Stone
       Cold, the titantron lights up and we see Foley behind his desk.
       The view widens and we see Hulk Hogan himself across the way
       with Lacey Von Erich and Madison Rayne when the camera cuts to
       just outside Foley's door where...
       [i]Velvet Sky is seen walking through the corridors backstage
       followed by her loyal bodyguard, Roman Reigns. They arrive at
       Foley's office and she barges through, immediately stopping when
       she sees Madison Rayne and Lacey Von Erich already inside with
       both Foley and Hogan.
       IC: Velvet. Please come in.
       Velvet glares at both her former teammates and steps in
       cautiously. Roman greets both other ladies with a smile and a
       feint nod of the head.
       Hogan: It's come to our attention that you three ladies, our
       current Synergy Tag Team Champions, aren't exactly on the same
       page anymore. As you know, Piper asked us to settle the
       situation.
       Velvet: Same page? We aren't even in the same book. I am in the
       classy magazines like Vogue while Madison and Lacey are in
       Trashy Girls R Us.
       Madison: Yeah, real funny Velvet.
       IC: Ladies! Keep it civil in here, please.
       Hogan: Well, enlighten us: what is going on with the Beautiful
       People?
       Lacey: Well, I'm still beautiful. I don't know about those two.
       Madison: Come closer Lacey and I will whack the beautiful right
       out of you.
       [b]IC: That's enough! If you three can't keep the synergy within
       your apparently failing stable, then we have got to do something
       about the tag belt situation.[/b]
       Velvet: Easy. Count me out of it. Let them two keep the belts. I
       don't need them anyway.
       Lacey: No way, I am not tagging with Madison ever again.
       Madison: Agreed. Lacey finally speaks some sort of intelligence.
       IC: Fine. Do you want to surrender the titles altogether?
       Velvet: Fine.
       Madison: Fine.
       Lacey: Fine.
       Hogan: So be it. The Synergy Tag Team Championships are now
       officialy vacated. Ladies, if you wouldn't mind handing them
       over.
       Without hesitating, Madison and Lacey each hand over their belts
       while glaring directly at each other.
       IC: Now, if there's nothing else I can do for you...
       Lacey: Actually, no. There is something else you can do for me.
       The biggest debate here is which one of us really carried the
       stable, and I want to prove that I am the dominant female in
       this stable. I want to challenge Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne to
       a triple threat match at High Voltage.
       Velvet and Madison begin snickering in their respective corners
       of the office while Foley and Hogan begin thinking about it.
       IC: That sounds interesting. Hulk, this does include Fusion
       superstars. Any objections?
       Hogan: I don't see a problem with that. What about -
       Madison: Why don't we make it more interesting? Let's make it a
       no disqualification anything goes triple threat match.
       Velvet: I can do you one better, Madison, since I'm always
       better than you. Let's add an extra stipulation... losers leave
       HCW!
       Madison: I'm cool with that.
       Lacey: Fine. I'll enjoy being the last woman standing.
       Hogan: OK, Just to make sure there is no unfair ruling and this
       match is called right down the middle, I think we should have a
       special guest referee. I have an idea who -
       Roman: I'll do it.
       The three ladies, Mick and Hogan all look over at him in shock
       as he steps forward.
       Roman: My allegiances lie with all three women equally so you
       know I'll be very impartial.
       Velvet goes to protest this but Foley cuts her off.
       IC: Sounds good, consider the match booked. Hopefully, that will
       satisfy Piper. Now you four, out of my office, and between now
       and the pay per view, try to be civil. Oh and Velvet..
       Foley reaches for something out of view then hands Velvet what
       we see is a jar of only green M&M's. Velvet snatches them and
       the Beautiful leave with Reigns in tow. Hogan and Foley just
       shake their heads as they look at the tag titles on Foley's
       desk.[/quote]

       date=1390830330]Renee: Well... no... I just wanted to get a
       comment on what happened in Foley's office. You girls happily
       relinquished the Synergy Tag titles, arguably the most coveted
       tag titles in professional wrestling today. Are the problems
       within the Beautiful People that difficult that you had to do
       that?
       Velvet: You see, Renee, that's where you're wrong. There is no
       Beautiful People anymore. We're over. Done. Finished. Come High
       Voltage, there is going to be one Beautiful Person left, and
       that woman will be me. Madison and Lacey, they were just pawns I
       used to take over this company, and look where I am now? I am
       the most valuable player on Collision; Foley knows it, and all
       the stinky, sweaty guys backstage know it. Madison and Lacey are
       the trash on the trash brand of HCW. Nothing more needs to be
       said about that.
       Renee: Okay. Now that you've mentioned your match, I want your
       thoughts on it. A triple threat anything goes match where both
       losers will have to leave HCW. That means that you don't even
       have to be part of the deciding fall to lose your job. You girls
       know each other so well. What do you think?
       Velvet: Renee, need I remind you that I have carried this stable
       since day one. Ever since we arrived in HCW, I have been doing
       all the hard work, whether that be getting it done in the ring
       or keeping Madison's PMS in check or finding Lacey after she was
       kidnapped. I did all the hard work and I got one-third of the
       praise. I'm sick of it. None of that anymore. I don't care who I
       pin or make submit at High Voltage, Velvet Sky is the one going
       to keep her job here and reign supreme as the most dominant
       female this company has ever seen. Now, if you don't mind
       leaving before I catch one of the STDs you are carrying.

       anxiously waiting in the interview area when she is approached
       by Madison Rayne who has a tiara on her head and a sash with
       "Queen of HCW" embroidered on it.
       Renee: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, one-third of
       the former Synergy Tag Team Champions, Madison Rayne. Now, I've
       asked Velvet this question but I have got to ask you: were the
       problems within the Beautiful People that bad that you had to
       relinquish the biggest tag titles in professional wrestling
       today?
       Madison: Yes, Renee, they were. I was carrying dead weight with
       Velvet and Lacey and, seeing the size of their panties, it was a
       lot of weight to carry, if you know what I'm saying. I have been
       the Queen Bee of the Beautiful People all along, so now I've
       decided to wear my crown with proud.
       Madison gestures to the tiara on her head with a smug grin.
       Madison: People seem to forget that I am Miss Money in the Bank,
       the first woman to ever enter that multi-competitor match. I was
       cheated out of the briefcase, and I have finally come to terms
       with my unfair loss. I am as talented as I am beautiful and
       neither Velvet nor Lacey has the passion I do in that ring. This
       stable has imploded because they are both jealous of my in-ring
       skill.
       At High Voltage, it'll be the same story, and it will be my
       biggest pleasure to watch Velvet and Lacey dragged out of HCW
       for good.[/quote]

       [...]
       Lacey:  Velvet is the dirtiest fighter in HCW today and probably
       the history of this company and she's proud of it. You know, she
       claims to have all this talent and that she carried this stable,
       but every match she has ever won, she has had to use an
       underhanded tactic. I'm above that. At High Voltage, in our
       anything goes triple threat match, everything is legal. Velvet
       Sky won't be safe.
       [...]
       Lacey takes the microphone off Renee and turns to face the
       camera.
       Lacey: The playful, happy-go-lucky Lacey Von Erich will not be
       present at High Voltage. This will be the biggest match of my
       career and it is more than personal. For too long I have been
       pushed into the back of the line behind Velvet and Madison and
       I'm sick of it. The Beautiful People have imploded and the
       once-great stable of HCW will come to an end at High Voltage,
       and after the dust has settled, Lacey Von Erich will be the last
       woman standing in this company.
       Lacey drops the microphone and walks off the set.[/quote]
       We finish the package with all three ladies involved in a major
       catfight.
       TG: The Beautiful People will be truly no more after High
       Voltage. William, what are your thoughts about Roman Reigns as
       the special referee for this one?
       Regal: The times I've seen Reigns backstage, I do believe that
       he'll call this match down the middle. But I truly don't care
       about that match, to be honest.
       TG: JR, it's match where anything goes. Who does that favour?
       JR: Like Lacey said at the end of the video package, Velvet has
       had the reputation to use weapons. That can sure help her but
       all three ladies will look to use the Ugly Stick to their
       advantage.
       TG: Hogan, will the stipulation that the losers will leave HCW
       have an impact on how this match will unfold?
       Hogan:Undoubtedly! Todd, I think all three ladies wants to stay
       in HCW and they'll do everything to achieve that. It's what
       makes this match so emotional and so exciting. I'll be sad for
       one to see two of those ladies go but it's business.
       TG: So, who wins this one, Hulkster?
       Hogan:Madison will make it drop on both ladies but it could be
       either Velvet or Lacey, though.
       TG: Regal, who you see win this one?
       Regal: I don't care. I'll say Velvet because I believe she's the
       smartest of all three ladies.
       TG: Jim, your pick?
       JR: Lacey has the Von Erich blood. She's starving to prove that
       she can beat both ladies and I think it'll help her achieve the
       victory.
       TG: Well, that will be an emotional and highly intense way to
       end a stable, that's for sure... Talking about that... We have
       Matt with a guest. Matt, up to you!

       Re: High Voltage 2014 Pre-Show
       By: ControversyPersonified Date: February 10, 2014, 5:34 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Striker: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, the
       enforcer of the former Beautiful People and the special guest
       referee in the anything goes triple threat match, Roman Reigns.
       Roman, before we get into this huge match between all three of
       your clients, I just wanted to get your opinion on the story of
       the Beautiful People break-up. What happened there?
       Roman: The egos of all three ladies became too big as the
       Synergy Tag Team Champions and the results of their title loss
       was unfortunate. I tried my best to keep the peace and even
       seemingly patched things up between them, but apparently nothing
       could help them. They brought this upon themselves and it's a
       shame it had to end this way.
       Striker: That's the unfortunate truth. The Beautiful People have
       been one of the most dominant stables in HCW history and the
       first group of women to be hugely successful in this company,
       accolades inlcuding being the first women to become the Synergy
       Tag Team Champions, participating in the first ever Boyfriend
       vs. Girlfriend street fight, and being the first women to enter
       the Money in the Bank ladder match and Elimination Chamber
       match.
       Roman: It is because of those accolades that their heads became
       too big. With all due respect to all three ladies as I am
       friends with all of them, I say again: their egos were too big
       to fit in the one locker room.
       Striker: Now, regarding the anything goes triple threat match
       where BOTH losers of the match will be leaving HCW, you
       requested to be the special guest referee in this match. There
       has been talk backstage that your allegiances lie strictly with
       Velvet due to you being on the same brand. What do you have to
       say about that?
       Roman: That is a complete lie. While I may be on Collision with
       Velvet, my allegiances have always been with all three women
       equally. I was hired by all three ladies and so I can truthfully
       say that I will call this one right down the middle. It'll be a
       sad moment to see two of them leave but that's what I've got to
       do.
       Striker: Excellent. Is there anything else you would like to
       add?
       Roman: There is one thing...
       Roman turns to face the camera with a menacing look on his face.
       Roman: After High Voltage, HCW Universe, don't expect to see me
       on the sidelines as the silent enforcer anymore. I've become
       bored with my role and am looking to expand. To the men of
       Collision, I'm putting you on notice: Roman Reigns is coming.
       Believe in Roman Reigns.
       From Striker we go back to Grisham who looks surprised.
       TG: I didn’t expect that…Roman Reigns announcing that he is to
       go on to the main roster to compete…that’s a big warning to
       anyone on Collision…including these two men…Scott Steiner the
       challenger…Cody Rhodes the champion…let’s take you back to the
       start of this story.
       The package begins with Steiner unhooking the briefcase and
       Rhodes beating Cesaro at BoD. We then see Steiner get “injured”
       by Angle and various news headlines flashing up  of the injury.
       Then we see Rhodes beating Taz at the Draft…and then:

       The crowd make their biggest cheer of the night. Not because
       they like Steiner, but because they know what’s about to go
       down. Steiner comes on the stage with one crutch on his right
       side and the briefcase on the left. He looks at Rhodes, chucks
       his crutch away and sprints down to the ring. Clearly his Ankle
       is in good shape, and he hands the briefcase to the referee.
       JR: NO WAY STEINER’S CASHING IN!
       JBL: THIS IS BRILLIANT, WE’RE ABOUT TO MAKE HISTORY HERE IN
       LONDON!
       Rhodes uses the ropes to get up and charges at Steiner, but gets
       hit with a Belly to Belly and the crowd cheers. Steiner screams
       at the crowd to get them riled up, which succeeds, and retrieves
       the title from the outside and poses with it outside, before
       seeing Rhodes is pulling himself up in the corner. Steiner
       slides back in and works on  Rhodes in the corner, punching away
       at Cody. He hooks Rhodes’ legs and puts him on the top rope and
       hits a classic FrankenSteiner to the crowds delight, and he
       starts doing pressups, pointing at the crowd and flexing his
       muscles. He stands in the corner posing, waiting for Rhodes to
       get up, which he does, and Steiner runs at him full speed and
       nails him with a Steinerline. He is still posing, going on his
       knees and flexing his muscles and doing press ups for about a
       minute. Steiner is going mad, and Rhodes is back up…but Steiner
       scoops him straight up and hits a Steiner Screwdriver. The title
       reign of Cody Rhodes is as good as terminal.
       ONE!!!
       TWO!!!
       THR-RHODES IS OUT!
       All Steiner’s mad energy has turned to shock. He shakes his head
       in disbelief. He faces the opposite way in the corner and takes
       a few seconds to discuss strategy with himself. When he returns
       to Rhodes’ downed body, he gets rolled up by Rhodes!
       ONE!!
       TWO!!
       STEINER KICKS OUT!!
       Both men get up at once and Steiner goes for a kick on Cody, but
       Rhodes does a leg takedown and locks in the Figure Four. Steiner
       is in a lot of pain – maybe the Ankle is still bad? Steiner has
       his shoulders down and the referee counts to two before Steiner
       gets the shoulder up. Steiner sits up and looks straight into
       Cody Rhodes’ eyes. He says “You’re end is near kid” and with
       that passes out. The referee counts to three and Rhodes has done
       the impossible and retained his title.

       Scott Steiner addresses the crowd
       [I]We don't even have time to go to the commentators as Holla if
       ya hear me hits and Scott Steiner storms down to the ring with a
       mic. He doesn't pose at all.[/i]
       SS: Cut my music off. [I]It is cut off.[/i] First things first
       I'd like to thank The Un-Americans for the chance to talk.
       [I]The fans boo at Steiners audacity to be grateful to the
       Un-Americans.[/i]
       SS: And as I am the first guy properly out here I have the sad
       duty to welcome you losers from the worlds worst state to the
       worlds worst arena!
       [I]A nice way for the crowd to warm up the boos.[/i]
       SS: Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Looks like I don't have many freaks
       out there. But anyway, I've got a few things to say. So here
       goes. At Birth of Destruction, as you all well know, I'll admit
       I've mentioned it a few times...I won three matches on the
       grandest stage of them all Birth of Destruction. Two of those
       matches were matches for prizes; The Global Title and The Money
       in the Bank breifcase. I could only keep one of them, so I chose
       The Breifcase. But then disaster...I ran into an angry bald
       headed Thug called Kurt Angle who put me in his submission hold,
       and yeah it hurt, but there was no lasting damage. And then it
       hit me, why not pretend there was lasting damage and rest up a
       little while? So that's what I did. I got a fake doctors note
       and wrote a fake article as Tito Cresstine. And yes losers, it
       is an anagram of Scott Steiner. I then needed to wait until the
       time was right. Which initially wasn't at the draft, but upon
       seeing the destruction that Taz and The Invasion subjected
       Rhodes too I thought that this was the time. It was a brilliant
       plan and I fooled all of you. But the fact is I should be stood
       here telling you all this a lot happier than I am. And that is
       because everything but the last part went to plan. I was
       defeated by Cody Rhodes. Don't know how he did it but he did.
       And that brings me to now. What's next for Scott Steiner? That's
       simple. The Universal title. It still interests me. It's that or
       bust for me. I want another match for it at High Voltage. And if
       I don't end up with The Universal Title by the end of High
       Voltage? I'm leaving. HCW staff...ball is in your court.
       [I]Steiners music plays and he leaves, not much of the crowd are
       booing as they are shellshocked at what Steiner just said.[/I]

       IC: And..
  HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTqwnMWiH1I
       Foley is interupted by Scott Steiner's music. Steiner charges to
       the ring and gets a mic and gets in Foley's face and immediately
       flexes his muscles.
       IC: Are you done Steiner?
       Stiener: Done? What I am done with is waiting. I am not going to
       be ignored anymore. You will give me my shot at Cody Rhodes for
       the Universal Championship, and I will not let you leave this
       ring until you do!
       IC: Oh really? Did you not just hear what I said to Damian
       Sandow? I am the Co-CEO Steiner, and right now, you are treading
       a very fine line. My answer is no. You can not have a shot at
       the Universal Title.
       Steiner: What?!
       IC: You heard me, your track record as of late isn't one that is
       becoming of a number one contender for the top title in the
       business. You have lost to the Un-Americans, you have lost to
       Orton, you have lost every match you have had, including turning
       in your money in the bank briefcase.
       Steiner takes a step closer to Foley and grabs him by the
       Collar. Foley doesn't back down, he instead instinctively gets
       Socko out of his pants and as he is putting the sock on his
       hand...
       [center]
  HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2dsnoc_dQ[/center]
       Piper: That's enough of that.
       Steiner lets go of Foley just as Foley was raising Socko.  They
       both turn to the stage where Piper is looking on. A very unhappy
       look on his face.
       Piper: Mick. I understand why this happened and its not your
       fault. But really, you need to handle your superstars better.
       Steiner I am only going to say this once. If you value your
       employment, you will back off of Mick right now.
       Steiner looks at Piper and then at Foley. He looks back to to
       Piper and raises his hands and takes two steps back from
       Foley.Who now straightens his collar.
       IC: Expect a fine on your next check for laying hands on an HCW
       official Scott.
       Piper: The Board of directors sent me here for something else,
       but since I am here let me deal with this. Steiner, Mick is
       right, you haven't exactly earned a title lately. Your track
       record is far from spotless as of late. However the Board is
       giving you one final chance to earn a shot at the Universal
       title...
       Steiner: Yes! Thank you!
       Steiner gives Foley a nonchanlant grin.
       Piper: You are getting a shot Stiener, provided you win a number
       one contenders match against RVD!
       Steiner turns back to Piper shocked.
       Steiner: Are you serious?!  I own that title match. I already
       earned it. I proved myself capable of beating Cody at the Draft!
       Piper: What you proved is that Cody, who had survived a
       hellacious match with Taz could still beat you, fake injury and
       all. Now get out of my ring.
       Steiner complains some more but leaves the ring as Piper joins
       Foley.

       Now, I'm sure everybody wants to know what I think of Steiner's
       big statement.  He wants a shot at this, well he knows where to
       find me.  I've gotta go talk to Foley but if he gives you your

       draft...I'll beat you.

       *We see Cody leaving the arena but when he sees a camera man, he
       waves him over*
       Listen up Scott, I know you are listening.  You got yourself
       another match against me and thats all fine with me.  But at the
       end of the day, things aren't going to be any different then
       they were last time.  I'll bring everything I have against you.
       And I will still be your Universal Champion.  I'm sure we will
       be talking very soon Scott.  See you in Utah.

       Steiner has touched down in Salt Lake City, Utah. There's no-one
       hassling him as he has timed this right: getting their earlier,
       even before the Fusion before has been on air. He beckons the
       camera towards him, as he has seen Rhodes' comments.
       SS: Cody, you need to stop looking at our little match at the
       Draft as something that you've got over me. That loss is not
       playing in my mind. One bit. Now, you may be expecting me to say
       the same thing everyone says before going for a title shot: The
       whole you're keeping the title warm thing. I'm not going to
       patronise you by saying that. You're a worthy champion. You've
       prevailed against a technical god, an incredible athlete and a
       grappling legend. Now though, you've got to deal with someone,
       who like you is great because of his genes. You're genetically
       great, Cody. The Co-CEO Dusty Rhodes will be remembered as a
       legend. But I'm a genetic FREAK! This is your greatest
       challenge! I have underestimated you once, and I shall not let
       it happen again.
       Your reign has been great, Cody. But all good things, will and
       must come to an end. And it's time for your good thing to come
       to an end.
       At High Voltage...I take over.

       Listen Steiner, I don't care what is going through your head
       because let me tell you what's going through mine.  I've already
       beaten you once with my belt on the line. The only difference
       now is your career, your very existence here in HCW will be over
       if I beat you again.  Scott, I don't have a damn thing against
       you. You are just a challenger who is in my way.  If keeping
       this belt means getting rid of you well I hope you have a
       retirement speech ready.  After High Voltage, Scott Steiner will
       be no more.

       SS: Cody, you are underestimating me in the same way that I
       underestimated you at the Draft. You just need to realise who I
       am what I am prepared to do to win. Cody...I'll pick you up and
       nail an SSD for a pin...I'll put all my weight on you and snap a
       Recliner on and make you tap...or I'll cave your skull in with
       my pipe. Either way, I will win.

       Steiner, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I just
       want you to know its nothing personal.  When it comes to this
       title I lay it all on the line and that won't change at High
       Voltage.  What you need to realize is all those things you have,
       the Screwdriver, the Recliner, the lead pipe, they will not be
       enough!  If that is all you have, then you've already lost.
       You'll need your best.  And even that won't be enough.

       The video package ends with the chorus of our theme song for
       High Voltage playing loud and both men staring at each other in
       the ring. We return to Grisham who is rubbing his hands together
       in excitement.
       TG: Our main event is indeed the Universal Title match…I think
       we’re in for a great end to the night. We’ll start with Jim
       Ross, on his opinion on Scott Steiner’s chances and what he will
       have to do to beat Cody.
       JR: Scott played it brilliantly well at the Draft. But he got
       ahead of himself. He acted as though the match was already
       won…he was posing with the belt, doing cocky manoeuvres and just
       generally acting like he’d already won. He’s got a chance if he
       doesn’t let that happen again.
       TG: Will the loss at the Draft play on his mind William?
       WR: Even if it is, which I doubt, he needs to forget about it.
       There was pandemonium in that match-
       TG: Mainly caused by you and your group.
       WR: I’m so glad this is the last bloody preview.
       TG: Hulk…what about Cody?
       Hogan: He needs to control the match…against Taz, he very nearly
       lost twice due to him not willing to control the match…he needs
       to come out and dominate and keep at a pace that Steiner can’t
       compete at.
       TG: So your prediction on this?
       Hogan: It’s close…it may even be closer than any Universal title
       match we’ve had under the reign of Rhodes, but I’ll say Cody for
       this one.
       TG: Jim?
       JR: I’ll say Cody too…Scott will have a few chances, but I see
       Cody closing it out by Pinfall.
       TG: And finally you William?
       WR: Due to the fact that Scott’s already guaranteed that he’ll
       leave if he loses, he has got to win this…the must win situation
       in my opinion gives the edge to Scott.
       TG: Well…our predictions and interviews are done…but now it’s
       time to head down to Tony Chimel, JBL and Michael Cole…we’ve got
       a vacant Synergy Tag Team Title match to watch! Thanks for
       joining us on this part of the show and it’s down to the ring!

       Chimel: The following contest is for the Vacant Synergy Tag Team
       championships! Introducing the challengers first, at a combined
       weight of 485 pounds…AWESOME TRUTHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
       JBL: A great opportunity tonight for Awesome Truth…
       Cole: Their first shot at The Synergy Tag Team titles!
       The crowd actually give them a 50/50 reaction, as they hate
       their opponents more than them. Speaking of opponents…
  HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWDlXXpL7Z8
       The near capacity crowd give The Invasion…well, we’ll say a
       negative reaction. It’s got to the point where they don’t boo as
       much, but instead regularly resort to heckling abusive things at
       The Invasion.
       Cole: These five men are known as The British Invasion. We’ve
       got the man who attacked two defenceless members of the Hart
       family, Davey Boy Smith, the man responsible for taking many
       people out including a commentator Jerry the King Lawler, the
       number one contender for the Global Title Paul Burchill, the
       grizzled wrestling veteran who won the tag titles for the
       Invasion in the first place Douglas Williams, the ongoing
       project and the young gun of The British Invasion Brutus Magnus,
       and the leader of all Invasion operations…William Regal…
       JBL: A great introduction for a great stable!
       The Invasion have a group huddle, and individually embrace each
       other as Burchill and Bulldog head for the back and Regal heads
       for the commentary desk.
       Chimel: And their opponents…at a combined weight of 478
       pounds…Brutus Magnus and Douglas Williams…THE BRITISH
       INVASION!!!!!!!!
       Regal joins the commentary team and the match is underway! Truth
       and Williams start it off and it’s Williams that gets the early
       advantage, his edge over R-Truth in the mat wrestling gives him
       the advantage and he gets a quick two count with a slam, but
       then Truth shows that he is no slouch as he counters a Gutwrench
       Suplex attempt and hits a Bodyslam of his own. Truth hits a
       takedown with the arm on Williams and tags in Miz, and Truth
       whips Williams and lays down for Williams to get clotheslined by
       the Miz. Miz then hits a Flying Bodypress and gets another quick
       two count. Miz goes up top but is caught by a kick to the gut.
       Williams tags Magnus in but goes after Miz anyway, hitting a
       Superplex. Williams leaves the ring and Magnus stomps away at
       Miz, but Miz just gets up and hits Miz with a Lariat.
       JBL: Impressive start by both teams.
       Cole: Miz dominating Magnus here!
       Miz drops Magnus with an Arm Drag, and then a Shoulder Block by
       Miz gives Miz a chance for another cover, which he does for two.
       Magnus gets and goes for a Discus Punch, but Miz reverses it
       into a backslide. Miz measures for a Reality Check but Magnus
       reverses this into a backward kick. Williams randomly enters the
       ring, and The Invasion go for a double backdrop, but The Miz
       counters into a Double Headsmash. This sends Williams out of the
       ring, and then Truth tags himself in off Miz. Truth dominates
       Magnus, gaining momentum as we reach five minutes. Truth hits
       kicks on Magnus and hits a top rope Frankensteiner, before
       hitting two vertical Suplexes and getting a two count. Magnus
       kicks out and starts to get fired up and locks a chokehold in.
       The referee tells Magnus to let go but he doesn’t till three,
       and then hits Truth with a Gorilla Press. The Mag Daddy then
       tags out to Williams, who goes or a Chinlock Deathlock
       submission, but Truth springs out and runs at the ropes, but
       Williams spikes him with a huge lariat that sends Truth out of
       the ring. Williams follows him and wacks Truth’s head off the
       post.
       WR: Count-Out victory would do my boys fine!
       Cole: It can’t change hands on a Count-Out remember folks.
       Williams is back in the ring and Truth slides in too. Truth gets
       to Miz for the tag, but Williams just works on Miz by hitting
       him with gutkicks and then a big high knee, but Miz reverses the
       momentum again by locking in an armbar submission. Magnus just
       comes in and breaks it up, but then R-Truth propels himself at
       Magnus and they both go over the top. Truth goes to send Magnus
       in the barricade but Magnus reverses it. We go back to the ring
       and Miz hooks Williams for the Skull Crushing Finale, but
       Williams slides out and runs Miz into the turnbuckle and goes
       for the Chaos Theory, but on the final part Miz sits down and
       gets Williams in a pinning predicament.

       TH-KICK OUT![/center]
       Miz is shocked that that didn’t get it done, and he tags in
       Truth who has returned to the apron. Air R-Truth occurs as Truth
       hits a Flying Clothesline, then takes out Magnus with a kick so
       he flies off the apron. Truth hits Williams with a Facebuster to
       set him up for the Truth Axe, but as R-Truth runs the ropes
       Magnus drags the legs of Truth and clocks him out the ring. Miz
       isn’t too pleased that Magnus did that and the four men start
       brawling outside the ring. The referee doesn’t really know
       whether to count, but he does eventually and gets to 6 before
       the legal men, Williams and Truth return to the ring and Truth
       hits a Dropkick and then-
       Cole: LIE DETECTOR!
       WR: Kick out Doug!
       He does, just. Truth can’t believe it and shouts at Williams to
       get up, as this time he is going for the Axe Kick. He misses
       though, and Williams nails the Revolution DDT! The three count
       looks likely, as Williams grinds the forearm in the face and
       hooks a leg.
       [center][b]ONE!
       TWO!
       THR-THE KICK OUT BY TRUTH![/center]
       It’s Williams turn to be shocked as he pounds Truth’s head
       against the mat and tags Magnus in. Magnus ascends to the top
       rope and goes for his big elbow drop, but Truth dodges it and
       gets the hot tag to Miz who takes out Williams from the apron
       and goes to Magnus and locks the Figure Four leglock in. Magnus
       is looking for the ropes and is fighting for about 15 seconds
       but then Williams comes in and breaks it up, but thenTruth comes
       and dumps Williams over the top rope. Truth shouts at Williams
       but gets thrown over the top rope by Magnus this time. Magnus
       then points at Regal and lowers down his kneepad, waiting for
       Miz to get up. He flies at Miz, looking for Regal’s infamous
       Knee Trembler, but Miz dodges it and hits a Skull Crushing
       Finale.

       TH-JUST A KICK OUT BY MAGNUS.[/center]
       WR: Great resilience by Brutus there.
       Williams is using the announce table to get up and looks to be
       giving Regal a handshake but clearly an object has swapped hands
       from Regal to Williams.
       Cole: What did you just give Williams?
       JBL: I didn’t see him do anything?
       WR: Yes you’re damn right I didn’t.
       Cole: That’s a load of rubbish…Cole stands up and gets referee
       Earl Hebner’s attention and tries to tell him about the
       knuckles. Hebner gets the hint and tells Williams to surrender
       the knuckles, which he does.
       Meanwhile, Truth has been tagged in and so has Williams. Regal
       takes his headset off and jumps towards the apron but Hebner
       comes over and tells Regal to leave, but Miz lays Regal out,
       however we see Williams has another set of Brass Knuckles, and
       he clocks Truth with them. Magnus disposes of Miz and Williams
       covers!

       TWO!!!
       THRE-TRUTH HAS KICKED OUT![/center]
       The crowd are really into this and can’t believe Truth kicked
       out. Williams measures Truth once more as Magnus steps outside
       and charges towards where Miz is recovering to deal with him,
       but Miz reverses the momentum, makes Magnus stop in his tracks
       and Spears him through part of the barricade! Miz goes into the
       ring but Williams while waiting for Truth goes after Miz and
       drills him with a Dropkick. However, unfortunately for Williams,
       Truth is the legal man and he is up. Williams gets hit with a
       Lie Detector and so comes the probable end of the match.

       THR-SOMEHOW A KICK OUT AT 2.5[/center]
       Cole: This is unbelievable action.
       Miz has scrambled back to his corner and tags himself in. Miz
       jumps straight to the top rope and goes for a Missile Dropkick,
       but Williams flies out the way and Miz staggers up. Williams
       grabs him from behind and runs him into the corner, cradle…and
       BAM! Chaos Theory! Truth tries to get in the ring to save Miz
       but Regal and Magnus grab onto him to allow Williams to make the
       cover.

       via Williams pinning Miz with a Chaos Theory in 33:30
       Regal grabs the titles and grabs Williams and Magnus to get them
       away from Awesome Truth. Truth goes to look after Miz but stares
       daggers at the Invasion, who are at the top of the ramp. Regal
       raises the arms of his new champions as we go back to the
       announce desk.
       Cole: If you want to see great matches like that, make sure to
       buy High Voltage!

       their tag titles back!
