Backstage...

Raizzor is shown entering the arena with a large duffel bag. He's wearing warm up clothes. As he walks by a janitor's closet, the door opens up and Sword and Nina pull him inside. The door swings clothes and a fight can be heard inside. A few moments pass, then Sword and Nina rush out of the closet and padlock the door shut.

Unknown Demons & Grendle vs. The Authority (Hardcore Match)

All 6 men fight it out in the ring, brawling amongst each other. Eventually, the Demons and Halston and Mitchell spill out of the ring and fight on the entrance way. Vance and Grendle brawl in the ring, both men trading off the advantage. Outside the ring, Halston and Mitchell each gorilla press a Demon and drop them throat first across the guard railing. Mitchell shoves some fans out of their seats and takes two chairs, one of which he throws to his partner. They beat on the Demons with the chairs some, then Halston sets Death Angyl's head inside a chair and legdrops it.

Back in the ring, Grendle has Vance in a figure four leglock around the ringpost. Grendle releases the move and grabs the time keeper's bell and smashes Vance's knee with it. Meanwhile, the Demons and Halston and Mitchell are still fighting, but the Demons have managed to get back to their feet, though Death Angyl's head is a bloody mess. The Demons set the Authority up for dual powerbombs, but the Authority back drop out of it. While Mitchell keeps the Demons down with kicks, Halston gets a table out from under the ring and sets it up. Mitchell lays Halston on top of the table then the Authority hits the Attitude Adjuster on Nikon over the table and his helpless partner. Inside the ring, Grendle has the figure four back on Vance, who taps out.

Winner: The Unknown Demons and Grendle

Eric "Valek" Draven vs. Project X (IC Title Match)

Right off, Draven hits Project X with some chops, but they don't faze him. P-X sends Draven into the ropes and takes him down him a boot to the face. Project X goes to the corner and starts to remove the cover. He finally gets it off just as Draven gets behind him. German suplex by Draven gets 1. Project X kicks Draven in the stomach, then sends him down with a double axehandle to his back. Project X grabs his opponent's legs and slingshots him into the corner, with Draven hitting the exposed turnbuckle face first. He gets up and staggers right into a choke hold from Project X that tries to turn into the Probe, but Draven blocks with a low knee. P-X doubles over and Draven is able to scoop him up and hit the Impaler for the win.

Winner: Eric "Valek" Draven

Nightmare & ??? vs. Sword and ??? (Tag Team Title Match)

Brian Rentfro: It’s now time for our main event. At London’s Burning, the Sword and Nightmare were forced to work together against the Brothers Grimm in the Tag Title match after Remorse and Chamelion both could not compete. Now, each member has selected a new partner.. and the winners will be the undisputed Tag Team Champions.

Jon McDaniel: Yes, and there are rumors going around that Raizzor was returning to the ring, but as we saw earlier.. it does not look like he will make it to the ring!

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is scheduled for one fall, and is for the PWA Tag Team Championship. Introducing first, team #1. He is one half of the PWA Tag Champions, from parts unknown, and weight unknown, he is The Sword!

{Revenge flashes across the ADC-tron and the sliding of a sword across a leather scabbard can be heard. A flash of blue light and techno music booms through the Arena. An average looking man for a wrestler appears from the entrance way, he is dressed in a dark blue from head to toe, covering all his features. A sword image covers his face, the hilt going over his forehead, the crossguard where his eyebrows would be, the blade of the sword covering from between his eyes to cover the rest of his face. Up the sides his legs are long ornate sword designs, across his chest a sword pierces a bloodless heart. At his side is the former female wrestling champion dressed in a deep blood red, Nina Daemon Macabre. He makes his way to the ring with a sense of strong aggressiveness and determination...}

Ring Announcer: And his partner, hailing from Parts Unknown, he is.. THE SPIDER!!!

Brian Rentfro: The SPIDER?? Why is he with DEATH???

Jon McDaniel: And after all Raizzor did for him too!! This is one hell of a betrayal!

Ring announcer: And now, their opponents. Introducing first, one half of the PWA Tag Team Champions, he is NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!

[Pyros explode on stage and Nightmare comes through the curtains.. and walks methodically down the ramp to the ring. He climbs the stairs and steps cleanly over the top rope, staring menacingly at Sword and Spider.]

Ring Announcer: And his partner…

[The Ring Announcer stops, and shakes his head.. he holds his hands out in surrender, as he has no name to call.]

Brian Rentfro: We saw the attack on Raizzor earlier.. and now that no call is being made, then the rumor must be true.. Raizzor would have been back tonight!

Jon McDaniel: Nightmare turns, but doesn’t seem to upset. Spider begins the match for the other side and we’re on our way!

 

PWA TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH

Sword & Spider vs. Nightmare

 

[Spider and Nightmare lock up in the middle of the ring, and Nightmare takes quick advantage by ringing Spider into an armbar. Nightmare then drives his elbow into Spider’s arm, bruising it. Spider drops to one knee, twists his body inward, and flips Nightmare over onto his back. Spider goes for an elbow drop, but Nightmare moves, and Spider lands on his freshly bruised arm. Nightmare stands and picks up Spider, bodyslamming him to the mat. Nightmare bounces off the ropes for a big leg drop, but Spider spins out of the way, and Nightmare hits nothing. Spider gets up, gives Nightmare a couple of kicks to the ribs.. and then grabs him by the hair. Picking Nightmare up, he sends him back down to the mat with a DDT.]

Brian Rentfro: Spider has the advantage!! Great moves to start the match.

[Spider rolls Nightmare over for the cover, but the ref doesn’t even get there before Nightmare kicks out. Nightmare crawls to his feet, and Spider locks up with him. Spider pushes Nightmare back, and whips him into the ropes. Nightmare comes off the ropes and ducks Spider’s clothesline, stops, spins and hits Spider in the back with a drop kick. Confident, Nightmare bends down to pick Spider up, but gets a chop to the throat for his troubles, sending him reeling. Spider springs back to his feet.. grabs Nightmare again by the head, and delivers a twist of fate. With Nightmare down, Spider makes the tag to the Sword.]

Jon McDaniel: Sword’s in.. and Nightmare is wrestling basically a handicap match with Raizzor out of the picture!

[Sword comes in, and goes for a quick cover, the ref slaps the mat.. 1.kickout. Sword stands, and Nightmare follows. Sword knees Nightmare in the midsection and doubles him over. Sword then hooks him up for a powerbomb!]

Brian Rentfro: Could he be going for The Final Thrust already???

[Nightmare uses his strenght to toss Sword over his back, then bounces into the ropes. He comes back, hopping over Sword, and hits the other side. Sword jumps up, and goes for a clothesline that Nightmare ducks.. Nightmare comes off the other side, and hits a flying clothesline on Sword!!]

Jon McDaniel: Nightmare’s back in the match!

[Nightmare goes for a cover.. 1…kickout. Nightmare picks Sword up and slaps him into a double underhook power bomb. Nightmare then backs away, and lifts his arm in the air, the sigh for the Hellslam. Spider runs in and blindsides Nightmare. Sword gets up and both men start double teaming Nightmare!]

Brian Rentfro: This may be the only way they can beat him !! Nightmare promised a return of the monster and it looks like we’re seeing it now!

[Spider and Sword wail away on Nightmare, who desperately tries fight back! The ref has lost all control and he’s trying to get Spider out of the ring. Nightmare slams into the Sword, sending him off his feet.. he turns, and as Spider tuirns back from dealing with the ref, Nightmare grabs him by the throat and hits a Hell slam to the mat!]

Jon McDaniel: Spider should have stayed on the outside!

[Nightmare turns, as the ref is forcing Spider back to his corner, and the Sword slams him in the forheard with his tag title belt he got from outside. Nightmare crashes to the ground and Sword covers quickly. The ref turns, sees the cover.. and counts the 1-2-3!]

Brian Rentfro: Sword and Spider are the Tag Team Champions!!! Nightmare put on a hell of a show.. but Sword used his tag title to clean Nightmare’s clock!

Jon McDaniel: Now look!!! Spider and Sword are laying into Nightmare! Sword means to get his revenge for what Nightmare did to him befo….

[Suddenly the arena explodes into pyros, fireworks and an eerie new music blares over the loudspeaker.. and then.. the lights go out. Spider and Sword end the assault on the injured Nightmare and turn towards the ramp entrance.. fully expecting the Twilight Forces. Then the lights come up.]

Brian Rentfro: ……..

Jon McDaniel: No way in hell!!!!

[In the ring, behind Sword and Spider, standing over the fallen form of Nightmare.. is…

Nightmare!!! This Nightmare though, is 8 feet tall and much more ferocious looking then the first.. in fact, Brian Rentfro guesses right.]

Brian Rentfro: I think now we can guess why Nightmare always seemed a little different.. it hasn’t been the same man.. that.. that man in the ring.. THAT is the real Nightmare!!

Jon McDaniel: Was he to be Nightmare’s partner?? What happened to him??

[Spider and Sword turn just as Nightmare #2 slams into them, knocking them both down with tremendous clotheslines. Sword struggles up and gets caught in the throat… Nightmare pulls him face to face.. and Sword sees for the first time.. who his enemy really is.. before Nightmare HellSlams him to the mat. Nightmare turns as Spider tries to exit, but he catches the new Tag Champ by the hair, pulls him back in the ring.. and sends him crashing down to the mat with another Hellslam! Nightmare #2 then kneels, picks up Nightmare #1 and leaves the ring.]

Brian Rentfro: I .. I don’t know what to say!! But there are two Nightmare’s now!! Both monstrous powerhouses.. Sword and Spider may have won the match.. but will they want to fight the war?

Jon McDaniel: We’re out of time, see you Saturday for Rampage!
