Annihilation 2001

| | July 29 2001


The camera cuts to the loading dock area. A large ring like structure is set up on the asphalt floor. An area about twice the size of an average ring is boxed in by chains, supported by tall concrete pillars in each corner. Above the area is a wire mesh panel, supported by the concrete pillars. Hanging from the center of this panel, twelve feet above the floor, hangs the GCW US title belt. In one corner of the ring area is an ominous forklift. In each remaining corner is a steel wrench. The crowd cheers as the image appears on the MegaTron.

Andrews- The following contest is the ACWF match for the GCW United States Championship! The winner must utilize the forklift to gain the title belt!

The crowd cheers even louder, expecting an incredible match. My Own Summer hits, and they crowd erupts with a deafening mixed reaction. The Jhub appears on the MegaTron, walking slowly from the backstage area out into the loading dock.

Andrews- Introducing first, the challenger. From Stamford, Connecticut, he weighs in at 270 pounds. . . The Jhub!

The crowd continues with their cheers and boos, until My Own Summer fades out. The Jhub looks entirely focused, as he stares up at the title belt. Suddenly, Debonair hits, and the crowd explodes with another mixed reaction. Some surprising cheers are heard as Khan appears in the area, walking through a lot of parked cars opposite the ring area.

Andrews- And his opponent, from Hokkaido, Japan, he weighs in at 280 pounds, he is the GCW United States Champion. . . Khan!

Khan stares at the Jhub. They stare each other down for a few long moments, before the bell rings and the match begins.

Bryan- And here we go! We’ve seen only one of these matches in the past, and it was hellacious! Khan emerged victorious in that match the first time around and the first Annihilation. . . Will he be able to retain here tonight?

Yale- This is going to be amazing, JB! Khan and the Jhub are just staring each other down, but the Jhub finally breaks the stare! The Jhub heads for the corner, and grabs a wrench! Khan steps through the chains, and arms himself with a wrench as well!

Bryan- Things are getting serious already! Its no secret how much these two hate each other! The Jhub runs in first, but Khan dodges him! Khan shoves the Jhub off, and the Jhub goes headfirst into the concrete pillar!

Yale- But the Jhub rebounds right back, and takes a swing at Khan with the wrench! Whoa! Khan ducks, and scrambles out of the way! If the Jhub had hit him there, he could have crushed his skull!

Bryan- The Jhub moves back in, but Khan charges and takes him right down with a spear! Khan mounts the Jhub, and begins firing away with a flurry of rights and lefts! Khan is going ballistic!

Yale- This is what he’s made his name for! Khan finally breaks off, and heads for that forklift! Khan turns on the engine, as the Jhub slowly gets to his feet! Khan hits the gas, and charges the Jhub!

Bryan- Dear God, he’ll run him over! But the Jhub leaps at the last second, and hops onto the front of the forklift! Khan stops the lift, but the Jhub kicks him right in the face! Khan spills out to the floor, as the Jhub regains his senses!

Yale- That was a close one! Khan tried to run the Jhub over! What a dangerous environment this is! The Jhub heads for the rising Khan, and takes him by the hair! The Jhub gets moving, and tosses Khan right over the top chain and out to the pavement outside!
Bryan- This is where it gets nasty! The Jhub follows Khan out, and gives chase towards that lot of cars! Khan scrambles out of sight, and the Jhub cautiously enters the rows of vehicles out in the parking lot!

Yale- Khan has disappeared here, and the Jhub is looking as carefully as he can! Wait, there he is! Khan leaps up out of nowhere onto the hood of a car, and the Jhub turns to see him! Khan takes off, and hits the Jhub with a suicide dive!

Bryan- What a cross body! Both men go down to the pavement! Khan is the first one up, and he lifts the Jhub back to an upright position! Khan leads the Jhub further out into the parking lot!

Yale- They’re headed towards those GCW semis! That’s where they bring in the stage set! Khan takes the Jhub by the arm, and whips him hard towards the semi! But the Jhub reverses, and sends Khan right into the front of the truck!

Bryan- Khan’s knees hit the cab of the semi, and Khan is hurting! But he’s climbing the front of the truck! The Jhub runs up to him, as Khan continues to climb! The Jhub gives chase, but Khan is already up!

Yale- Khan leaps back with a moonsault! But the Jhub ducks it! Khan flies overhead, and lands right on his feet! Amazing! The Jhub turns and plants a right hand to Khan’s face! The Jhub takes Khan by the hair, and tosses him back up onto the cab of that semi!

Bryan- Khan gets to his feet, and starts heading for the top of the semi! The Jhub is giving chase! Khan makes it to the top of the truck, and takes a breather! The Jhub is almost up, however, and Khan is cornered!

Yale- The Jhub makes it up top, and Khan meets him with a stiff right hand to the jaw! And another! Khan is really laying in those punches! The Jhub is in real trouble here, and he slowly tries to get to his feet!

Bryan- Wait, the Jhub reaches up and rakes Khan’s eyes! Khan is blinded, as the Jhub begins snapping off a quick series of hard rights! Khan is staggered, as the Jhub takes him by the hair!

Yale- Wait a minute!

The crowd buzzes as the Jhub looks over the side of the semi to the parking lot below. He signals to a truck below, and leads Khan to the edge.

Yale- They’re too close to the edge! Oh no!

Bryan- The Jhub sends Khan running to the edge! But Khan reverses at the last second, and slips behind the Jhub! Khan lifts the Jhub up from behind, and FALLS OFF THE SIDE OF THE SEMI!

The crowd gasps and cheers as Khan hits a belly to back suplex off the semi, and both men crash into the cab of a smaller truck below.

Bryan- GOOD GOD! Good God! Khan suplexed the Jhub off the side of that semi, and they have literally crushed the cab of that truck! There’s nothing left of it! There’s glass and plastic everywhere!

Yale- Khan sacrificed himself to take out the Jhub! What an amazing move! Both men are down and out! This match has got to be over! Here come the paramedics!

Bryan- The EMTs have come out to attend to the Jhub and Khan. Fans, we apologize for the abrupt end to this match, but there is no way these two men can go on!

Yale- How can you apologize for that? They went crashing through the cab of that truck, and it has been absolutely destroyed!
A replay appears in a double feature, as the EMTs help Khan and the Jhub up and to stretchers.

Bryan- The EMTs are helping Khan and the Jhub to the stretchers, and I’d assume they will be taken to a nearby hospital.

Yale- Wait a minute!! Khan just decked one of the EMTs! Khan lays in right after right, taking out the EMTs! And the Jhub just decked one too! Khan and the Jhub are taking out the medical staff!

The crowd goes nuts as Khan and the Jhub floor the EMTs, then turn back to each other.

Bryan- This is insanity! Khan and the Jhub have taken out the EMTs, and now they’re back together! Khan and the Jhub are going shot for shot again, and this match is going to continue!

Yale- Khan is getting the better of the Jhub on this exchange! The Jhub breaks off, and staggers back through the parking lot towards the ring area! Khan slowly gives chase, and he mounts the hood of another car!

Bryan- The Jhub trips and falls, as Khan stands atop that car! He takes off flying, and hits the Jhub with a leg drop to the back of the skull! Khan lands right on the concrete! These two men just don’t care about their own bodies, as long as they destroy the other!

Yale- That’s what makes this match so dangerous! Khan is hurting after that move, as the Jhub slowly crawls back towards the ring area! Khan may have fractured his tailbone on that leg drop!

Bryan- That is bare concrete out there, fans! The Jhub slowly pulls himself back through the chains, as Khan painfully gets to his feet! The Jhub is climbing that makeshift turnbuckle there, as Khan slowly heads back behind him!

Yale- The Jhub is to the top, and he’s trying to pull himself up using that wire mesh hanging above the ring! The Jhub is slowly crossing above the ring, clinging to the mesh with his bare hands!

Bryan- How is he doing this? The Jhub is clinging to the mesh, trying to make his way to the belt above the ring! He’s twelve feet above the pavement below! But here comes Khan! Khan is climbing the turnbuckle behind him!

Yale- The Jhub is hanging precariously above the ring, as Khan gets to the top! Wait a minute. . . Khan takes off, and hits the Jhub with a missile dropkick to the back! UNBELIEVEABLE!

Bryan- Both men come crashing down to the pavement below! My God, they’re broken in half! What a suicidal maneuver by Khan! They’ve got to be done now! There is no way in hell they can continue after that!

Inside, the crowd chants ‘Holy shit! Holy Shit!’ as they cheer the match.

Yale- But they’re still moving! The Jhub gets to his hands and knees, and he heads for the forklift. But Khan is reaching out for a wrench! Khan has a wrench, and the Jhub has his back turned to him!

Bryan- Khan dives in, and cracks the Jhub in the back of the knee with the wrench! The Jhub drops, and Khan may have shattered the Jhub’s knee with that blow! Khan slowly gets to his feet, but he appears to be equally as hurt as the Jhub!

Yale- Khan is headed back out of the ring area now! Where the hell does he think he’s going?

Bryan- I don’t know, but the Jhub is pulling himself across the floor, trying to give chase! Khan is heading back towards the building, but the Jhub is up and chasing him! The Jhub is showing amazing resourcefulness here tonight!
Yale- Khan is heading back to the side of the building here, as the Jhub follows him over! They’re right in front of that giant stockpile of steel chairs! This isn’t going to be pretty, JB!

Bryan- Khan fires off a knife-edge chop to the Jhub’s chest, as the Jhub charges, and runs Khan right into the stacks of steel chairs! Both men collapse to the ground, and the chairs tip over!

The crowd goes crazy as the stacks of chairs fall to the floor, landing on the Jhub and Khan, burying them completely.

Yale- Wow! The Jhub and Khan have been buried by those steel chairs! What a hellacious match this is, JB! I don’t even see them moving! Wait, there we go! Someone’s hand is poking up through the mass of chairs!

Bryan- There’s Khan! Khan is slowly digging himself out of this pile of steel chairs! And the Jhub is making his way out on the other side! Khan slowly gets to his feet, as the Jhub staggers up!

Yale- Khan heads to the Jhub, but the Jhub swings around with a chair! WHAT A SHOT! The Jhub whips around with a chair shot to the skull, and decapitates Khan! My God!

Bryan- Khan drops to the chairs once again, as the Jhub drops the chair and slowly heads back to the ring area! The Jhub has a huge opening here! Khan is out cold, as the Jhub heads back to the ring!

Yale- The Jhub steps through the chains, but trips and falls! These men have got to be completely expended! The Jhub lies in the center of the ring area for a few moments, trying to regain his breath!

Bryan- Wait, what’s that?

The camera turns around, to see a car with its headlights on. It zooms in, to see Khan in the driver’s seat.

Bryan- Good God, Khan has commandeered that car! Khan revs the engine, and here he comes! LOOK OUT!

The crowd gasps as Khan drives right into the ring area, trying to run the Jhub down. He crashes right through the chains, but the Jhub dives out of the way at the last second.

Bryan- GOOD GOD! Khan just tried to run the Jhub down with that car! I don’t believe this! Khan and the Jhub are literally trying to kill each other here! But Khan has pinned himself in that car now!

Yale- This isn’t good! Khan is pinned up in the car! He’s trying to climb over the seats to the other side. . . But wait, who’s that? There’s someone in the forklift!

Bryan- Is that. . . Mike Hardy?! Mike Hardy is here! And he’s in the forklift! He raises the forks, and charges! GOOD GOD! Hardy just rammed Khan’s car with the forklift, and speared it!

Yale- What the hell is that damn Hardy doing?! Oh my God, he’s lifting the car off of the ground with that forklift! The Jhub is still down, as Hardy lifts Khan and the car up off the ground! What’s he going to do?

Bryan- Hardy is driving towards the loading dock! Oh, God! He’s taking Khan to the loading dock! He’s got Khan positioned over the edge of that dock, and that’s a thirty foot drop! What now?!

Yale- Hardy lowers the forks. . . And the car tips off! MY GOD! The car goes flying off the dock and crashes to the pavement below! And Khan was inside!

The crowd goes crazy as Hardy drives back to the ring area.

Bryan- Get some damn EMTs out there! Hardy may have killed Khan! And the Jhub is waiting in the ring area, where Hardy parks the forklift! He’s telling the Jhub to get on!

Yale- Hardy has the Jhub on the forklift, right under the belt! Hardy lifts the forks up, and raises the Jhub up! All he has to do is grab it!

Bryan- The Jhub reaches up, and grabs the belt! This thing is over!

The crowd explodes with cheers. The bell rings inside, as My Own Summer plays. The Jhub raises his hand painfully in celebration, holding his new belt in his hands.

Andrews- Here is your winner, and the NEW GCW United States Champion. . . The Jhub!!

Bryan- That was, without a shadow of a doubt, the most ungodly match I have ever seen! The Jhub dropped Khan thirty feet off the loading dock by the returning Mike Hardy!! This match was total anarchy!

Yale- I guess we shouldn’t have expected anything less. . . But someone needs to check on Khan! He could have been killed, JB!

The camera looks over the loading dock, where EMTs are pulling a broken, bloodied but breathing Khan from the wreckage of the car.

Bryan- Oh, dear lord. Khan has been taken apart and broken down by the new United States Champion, and we’ve been shocked by the return of Mike Hardy! I honestly can’t believe this.

Yale- We should have expected this, JB! Khan and the Jhub hate each other, and this is the only way for them to finish it off! But what Hardy has to do with the equation, I’ll never know!

Back to Top





The camera returns to ringside, where the Annihilation theme plays, as a promotional shot of the seven men involved in the main event is shown on the MegaTron.

Bryan- Well, fans, we’re going to have to put that devastating match behind us, and press on! Up next, six men step into the ring to vie for the richest prize in the game, and Kurt Richards will have to try to control it!

Yale- I don’t know what to expect, JB! I mean, Richards hates Caldera and Octavian, but you’ve got to remember all the hell he has been through with Rich Rollins as well! We’re just gonna have to wait and see what his agenda will be here tonight!

The bell slowly tolls three times in the ring, signaling the main event. Joey Andrews stands in the middle of the ring, preparing to announce the match.

Andrews- The following contest is a six-pac challenge match for the Global Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Championship of the World!

Liberi Fatale hits, and the crowd goes crazy. Kurt Richards heads to the ring, referee’s shirt on.

Andrews- Introducing first, from Hollywood, California, he is the special guest referee. . . ‘Blockbuster’ Kurt Richards!

Bryan- Kurt Richards has made his return to GCW, and tonight he is involved in what could prove the be a chaotic match!

Break Stuff hits, and the crowd jumps to their feet in cheers. John Reed walks to the ring, Rachel Right behind him. He walks to the ring, looking very focused.

Andrews- First, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 275 pounds. . . John Reed!

Bryan- What a tremendous opportunity for this young System-X member! He could rocket himself to the top of GCW right here tonight if he can walk away victorious!

Reed steps into the ring, getting a good reaction from his hometown crowd. Rachel remains on the floor. Fuel hits next, and the crowd explodes with more cheers. Hanson emerges, walking to the ring while staring down Reed.

Andrews- From Atlanta, Georgia, he weighs in at 320 pounds. . . ‘The Fueler’ Luke Hanson!

Yale- These two guys have had some problems with each other as of late, though, JB! I don’t think either one of them can win this match without working together!

Hanson steps over the top rope, and stares at Reed. They stare down, until Richards breaks them up. Iron Man hits next, and the cheers intensify. Rollins struts out to the ring, as his fans cheer him on.

Andrews- From Chicago, Illinois, he weighs in at 225 pounds. . . Rich ‘The Renegade’ Rollins!

Bryan- The Renegade is here to win his title back! He’s a best selling author, and now he wants to become a two time world champion!

Rollins hops into the ring, staring down at Richards. Finally, Might of Rome hits, and the cheers turn to boos. Octavian emerges from the back, and heads down the ramp. His gold pyro explodes behind him.

Andrews- From Rome, Italy, he weighs in at 280 pounds, and he is the Commissioner of GCW. . . Octavian!

Bryan- Octavian returned to action a few weeks ago, and he is already the Commissioner! We just can’t trust this guy!

Octavian steps into the ring, and hops onto the ropes to taunt the fans. The Establishment Theme hits next, and the boos increase. Caldera emerges from the back, and heads to the ring looking rather confident.

Andrews- From Columbus, Ohio, he weighs in at 256 pounds, and he is the President of GCW. . . Steven Caldera!

Yale- I’ve got a good feeling about this one, JB! President Caldera is a former world champion, he can get it done in there!

Caldera steps into the ring, and immediately goes to Octavian’s side. They begin to talk, as Freak on a Leash hits. The crowd boos with great intensity as Shane Lane walks to the ring, belt over his shoulder.

Andrews- And, from Beverly Hills, California, he weighs in at 215 pounds, he is the GCW World Heavyweight Champion. . . Shane Lane!

Lane gets to the ring, and nervously looks in. He finally takes to the apron, as Octavian nails Reed from behind. Caldera, Hanson, Lane, and Rollins take to the apron, as Richards sounds the bell.

Bryan- And here we go! This match is underway! Tags can be made to any man on the outside, and the first pinfall will win the title! Shane Lane has a tremendous disadvantage in this match!

Yale- It’s just not fair! That damn Danger! Octavian is pounding away at Reed, and he sends him into the ropes! Reed bounces back, and Octavian tosses him over with a big back body drop!

Bryan- Octavian lifts Reed right back up, and snapmares him back to the mat! Octavian drops a quick knee to Reed’s spine, and reaches for a tag to Lane! Lane tags in, and goes after Reed!

Yale- Lane catches Reed on his way up, and whips him into the ropes! Reed bounces back, and ducks a clothesline! Reed comes off the other side, and takes Lane down with a cross body!

Bryan- Reed stays on top for the cover! Richards counts! One! Two! Kickout! Lane now scrambles for a tag, and reaches out for Rollins! But Rollins is simply laughing at Lane! Lane wants the tag, but Reed grabs him by the ankle and pulls him back to the center of the ring!

Yale- That damn Renegade! Reed drops a quick elbow on Lane’s chest, and reaches out for a tag to Hanson! Hanson looks reluctant, but he makes the tag! Reed steps out, as Hanson comes in to continue his bitter feud with Shane Lane!

Bryan- But Lane catches him on the way in with a kick to the gut! And another! Lane hooks the big man up, and takes him over with a snap suplex! That’s impressive leverage there by the World Champion!

Yale- I’ll say! Hanson is twice Lane’s size! Lane reaches around and slaps on a rear chinlock! Richards drops to check on Hanson! But wait a second, Rollins comes in the ring, and boots Lane in the back of the head to break the hold!

Bryan- Richards shoves Rollins away, but Rollins seems to be ignoring Richards for the most part! Those two have had quite the history together, and it’ll be a miracle if things don’t explode between those two tonight!

Yale- Lane is recovering from that blow, as Hanson reaches out for a tag! He finds Rollins! The Renegade hops into the ring, and the crowd is going crazy! Lane spots Rollins, and dives for a tag!

Bryan- Lane escapes, and tags in Octavian! The Commissioner climbs into the ring, and is met with the right hands of the Renegade! Rollins backs Octavian into the corner, and goes to work!

The crowd counts along as Rollins hammers away at Octavian’s skull.

Yale- Rollins is taking the Commissioner apart! The Renegade now whips Octavian into the opposite corner! Octavian hits hard, as Rollins follows him in! Rollins takes off, but Octavian gets out of the way!

Bryan- Rollins lands hard on the turnbuckle, as Octavian reaches out to tag in President Caldera! Caldera in this match now against the Renegade! Caldera delivers two quick boots to the gut, and whips Rollins across the ring!

Yale- But the Renegade reverses! Caldera hits the ropes, but gets met with a boot to the back from the outside by Hanson! Caldera turns around to face the Fueler, but Rollins moves right in behind him!

Bryan- Caldera doesn’t see him, and Rollins hops with a running dropkick! He hits Caldera in the back of the head, and the President goes tumbling out of the ring to the floor! Richards tries to back Rollins up to give Caldera some time, but Rollins doesn’t want to listen!

Yale- But Richards is insisting that Rollins keep away from the President! Hold on a second, Hanson hops down to the floor, where Caldera is recovering! He lifts the President up, and rolls him back into the ring!

The crowd cheers as Caldera rolls into the ring, and Octavian hops to the floor to warn off Hanson.

Bryan- Rollins pushes past Richards now, and begins putting the boots to Caldera! Finally, Richards shoves Rollins away! What on earth is Richards doing? Rollins is arguing with him, but Richards won’t hear it!

Yale- Caldera is getting some time to recover here, and it looks like Octavian has handed him something! Is that. . . Brass knuckles! Octavian handed a pair of brass knuckles to the President!

Bryan- This can’t be good! Richards finally lets Rollins go, but Caldera explodes to his feet, laying in a big right to the skull of Rollins! Those brass knuckles go right to the face of the Renegade, and Rollins is down and out!

Yale- Caldera slides the knucks out of the ring to the floor, and reaches up for a tag! In comes Octavian again! The Italian Stallion covers Rollins! ONE! TWO! THR- NO! Reed jumps in at the last second and breaks up the count with a kick to Octavian’s skull!
Bryan- Octavian jumps to his feet and chases Reed back to his corner! But Rollins is up and crawling! Octavian is busy with Richards and Reed in the far corner, as Rollins crawls over and tags in Hanson!

Yale- Hanson steps into the ring, as Octavian turns around! WOAH! Hanson takes Octavian down with a big boot to the face! Octavian could be out cold from that blow!

Hanson looks out to the fans, who cheer him on.

Bryan- Hanson lifts Octavian up, and sends him into the turnbuckle next to Lane! Octavian hits hard, and Hanson follows him in! There’s a big splash from the big man! Octavian is really hurting here, but Lane reaches in and tags himself into the match!

Yale- Lane tags Octavian out, and comes in to face Hanson! Lane charges in, and ducks a clothesline from Hanson! Hanson spins around, and Lane kicks him right in the knee! Hanson goes down, as Lane takes him by the ankle!

Bryan- Lane lifts that same leg up in the air, and brings his knee down to the canvass! Lane now mounts Hanson, pulling back on that leg! There’s a half crab on the Fueler!

Yale- Lane is going after the vertical base of the big man, which could be good strategy right now! Hanson is trying to pull himself towards the ropes, as Richards looks on!

Bryan- Richards seems to be playing it straight so far, but you’ve got to wonder what his true motives are! He’s been brought to GCW by Mr. Danger, but he’s had long standing rivalries with both Hanson and Caldera!

Yale- Hanson is almost to the ropes. . . And he gets a hand on them! But Caldera kicks him right back off again, and Lane pulls Hanson back to the center of the ring! Hanson’s leg has got to be about done here!

Bryan- Richards admonishes Caldera, and Reed steps into the ring! Richards doesn’t see him coming, and Reed takes Lane down with a clothesline to the back of the head to break the hold! Reed heads back out to the apron, as both men in the ring are down!

Yale- Lane is crawling for Octavian, and Hanson is heading for Reed! Maybe Reed and Hanson can put their differences aside for this match! Lane dives out to tag in Octavian. . . And Hanson reaches out and tags in Reed!

Bryan- Reed and Octavian charge each other, and Reed takes Octavian down with a clothesline! Caldera climbs into the ring and charges Reed, but Reed sidesteps him, and tosses him right over the top rope back to the floor!

Yale- Reed is on fire here! Lane is back up, however, and he hits Reed from behind with an axe handle! Reed is staggered, as Octavian gets back to his feet as well! Meanwhile, Rollins is down on the floor, and is stomping away at the President!

Bryan- Hanson is back up in the ring, and he takes Lane by the hair from behind! Hanson jerks Lane right down to the mat! Now he's going after Octavian! Reed recovers, and joins in! Hanson and Reed are working together!

Yale- What?! Hanson and Reed hook Octavian, and take him over with a double-suplex! Now Lane gets back up, and Hanson kicks him in the gut! Hanson sets Lane up, and lifts him for a powerbomb!

Bryan- Hanson brings him down, and Reed spikes it! Lane is out cold! System-X is together!

The crowd goes crazy as Hanson and Reed look at each other. Reed sticks out his hand, and Hanson shakes it.

Bryan- Reed and Hanson have re-united here tonight, at the expense of Octavian and Lane! But Caldera has escaped from Rollins, and is climbing back to the inside! Rollins is giving chase, but Caldera is caught by Reed and Hanson on the inside!

Yale- Hanson and Reed both begin to pound away at the President, as Rollins takes to the turnbuckle! Caldera is being pounded into oblivion here, as Rollins takes off! Big missile dropkick, right to the face of Hanson!

The crowd is surprised by this, and boos a bit.

Bryan- Rollins takes down Hanson, and now goes to work on Reed! Hey, it’s every man for himself, folks! Rollins and Reed exchange blows, but Rollins gets the better of Reed! And Richards is just watching from the side!

Yale- Octavian and Lane are both still down on the apron now, and Caldera and Hanson are down and have rolled to the floor! Rollins sends Reed into the turnbuckle, and follows him in with a big splash!

Bryan- Reed is in real trouble here! And don’t forget, Lane doesn’t have to be pinned to lose his title! Rollins backs up, and I think he’s setting Reed up for a superkick! Reed stumbles out, and Rollins throws the kick!

Yale- But Reed ducks behind Rollins, and scoops him up! Reed turns Rollins over, and drops him right on his head! He calls that the Stun Gun! What a move! It could be over! Reed covers! ONE! TWO!! THRE- NO! Caldera pulls Richards out of the ring to the outside!

Bryan- We almost had a new champion! Caldera pulled Richards out before the three! They’re face to face on the outside! And Richards nails Caldera with a big right! Caldera goes down, as Richards slides back into the ring!

Yale- Octavian has recovered, and has Reed pinned down in the corner! Octavian is stomping the hell out of Reed here, as Rollins slowly tries to get to his feet! Richards is back in the ring, as Rollins recovers!

Bryan- Rollins gets to his feet, and turns around! WHAT!?! Rollins turns, and decks Richards with a big right hand! Richards goes down, not expecting this attack from Rollins! But I don’t think Rollins knew who it was!

Yale- Octavian is still pounding away at Reed, as Hanson and Lane have both recovered, and are fighting on the outside! This match has become total chaos! Richards rolls out to the floor again, and makes his way to the timekeeper!

Bryan- Richards is grabbing a chair! Octavian has broken his attack off of Reed, and is now going at it with the Renegade on the inside! The referee climbs back into the ring, as Caldera slowly recovers on the outside!

Yale- Caldera is slowly trying to make his way back into the ring, as Rollins takes Octavian down with a clothesline! Rollins turns around, and comes face to face with Richards! Oh, I knew it would come down to this!

Bryan- Richards and Rollins are exchanging some harsh words! It’s no secret that these two men have torn into each other like no two men ever should! But now Richards is brandishing a chair, and there’s no telling what will happen now!

Yale- Caldera gets back to his feet in the ring, and is just now noticing what’s going on! Lane and Hanson have spilled out into the crowd, and are really going at it! Richards now rears back with the chair, as Rollins flinches!

Rollins ducks, expecting the blow. But Richards turns to his left, and nails Caldera with the chair!

Bryan- What?! Blockbuster Kurt Richards just nailed Caldera with the damn chair! The crowd is loving this, as Rollins looks on in surprise! Richards is telling Rollins to cover Caldera! This could be it!

Yale- Rollins hooks Caldera’s leg! ONE! TWO!! THREE- NO!!! Octavian dives in at the last second and breaks up the count! We were half a second away from a new champion!

Bryan- Rollins gets to his feet, but Octavian is hammering away at his skull! Octavian shoves Rollins back into the corner, and begins kicking away! But Richards moves in behind Octavian!

Yale- But Octavian turns around, and kicks Richards right between the legs! Blockbuster falls from the low blow, and Octavian goes back to hammering away on Rollins! The Renegade is in real trouble here!

Bryan- Wait a minute, who the hell is that?!

The crowd begins to buzz as someone hops over the barricade. The man climbs into the ring, and grabs the steel chair from the mat. Some begin to boo as they see who it is. . .

Bryan- IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?!

Yale- NATHAN KROTZER!? That’s the real one this time! The owner of the CWU is in a GCW ring!!

Bryan- Nathan has the steel chair, as Octavian hears the crowd’s boos! Octavian turns around. . . And Krotzer nails him in the skull with the chair! Octavian is down and out from a chair shot from Nathan Krotzer!

Yale- What the hell is the owner of the CWU doing in our GCW ring?! The CWU doesn’t even exist any more! But Nathan has nailed Octavian, as Caldera slowly gets to his feet!

Bryan- I think Caldera just realized who is in his ring! Caldera has spotted Krotzer, who is laughing at Caldera! Caldera moves in on Nathan, but Richards steps in his way! Richards hooks Caldera, and delivers the Blockbuster! Good God!

Yale- Blockbuster on Caldera! The President is down and out! And now Richards is pointing up to the turnbuckle! The Renegade is climbing! Rollins is to the top, and he takes off! ANARCHIST ELBOW on the President!

Bryan- What the hell is going on here?! Rollins just nailed Caldera with the Anarchist elbow! Octavian is down! Reed is down! Hanson and Lane are out of sight! Rollins covers Caldera, as Richards counts!

Yale- ONE! TWO!!! THREE!!!! NEW CHAMPION!

The crowd gives a mixed reaction as the bell rings. Iron Man plays, as Rollins gets to his feet to face Krotzer and Richards.

Andrews- Here is your winner, and the NEW GCW World Heavyweight Champion. . . Rich ‘The Renegade’ Rollins!

Bryan- What the hell is going on here?! Richards is handed the world title belt, and he’s staring at Rollins! And Blockbuster hands the title belt to Rollins! I never thought I would see this day!

Yale- Now they’re looking at Nathan! All three of them embrace in the middle of the ring! This is terrible, JB! These guys have reunited the CWU here in our ring!

The crowd begins to boo uncontrollably. Trash begins to litter the ring, flying in from the stands. Krotzer, Richards, and Rollins raise each other’s arms in celebration in the middle of the ring.

Bryan- This is just awful, fans! Rollins has tricked us all! And he’s the new GCW Champion! Richards is lifting the fallen Caldera up, and Nathan is belittling him in his own ring!

The crowd continues to boo as Krotzer slaps Caldera in the face, and Richards drops him.

Yale- I can’t believe this! Richards and Rollins together! Nathan Krotzer on GCW television! Rollins has taken the World title from Shane Lane!

Bryan- Now Octavian is back up! He’s been busted wide open! Octavian staggers to his feet, as Rollins stares at him! Octavian turns to face the champion, and Rollins delivers a massive superkick! Octavian is down!

Yale- And now Reed is back in the ring as well! He goes for Krotzer, but Richards cuts him off with a right hand to the face! Richards holds Reed back, as Rollins lines him up! The Renegade takes Reed down with a title belt to the face!

Bryan- This is sickening! The CWU has reunited in the GCW ring! What a trio this is! Rollins, the world champion, Richards, and Krotzer! I never thought I would see this again!

Yale- This is just awful! What is gonna happen when Caldera gets up tomorrow?!

Bryan- Fans, we’re out of time from the Allstate Arena! I’m James Bryan for David Yale, saying goodnight, and we’ll see you on Meltdown! This is just sickening. . .

The show fades to a close as Richards, Krotzer, and Rollins hold their arms up in victory over the fallen bodies of Caldera, Octavian, and Reed. Off to the side, Hanson is seen looking on from the crowd. . .
